You are a mark of memory.
Love comes quietly.
I paint you without knowing.
You are a diary in my heart.
Sometimes, it can be casual.
Sometimes, every word is remembered clearly.
I search to meet you by chance.
I'm most willing to lose to you.
Your love is irreplaceable.
Untie all the knots in your mind. Tell me.
This dream finally ends now.
This moment is when
the fragrance of flowers pervades the sky.
The air seems to deliver electric shocks.
The faces look elated.
Waiting as the wind blows over.
Love arrives. The whole season
believes in the fable of happiness.
Until the end.
Tomorrow is going to be wonderful.

A gentleman should act with ethics
and righteousness.
He should do nothing contrary to ethics for selfish gain,
And do nothing contrary to righteousness that makes him guilty.
Ethics is used to promote morality.
Credit is used to protect ethics.
Law is used to bring evil to justice.
This stinky tofu.
I've told everything to him and we've made up with each other.
But he is still putting on
a sad face.
Did I do something wrong to annoy him?
Give it to me.
Why are you so rude to me?
It's just a copper coin.
You don't have to do this.
I'm sorry, Yiyi.
I'm in a panic.
What did you just call me?
Yiyi.
I'm not used to
hearing you call me by my real name.
Dugu
is always calling you Yiyi.
It's not the same.
Dugu calls me Yiyi because
the other day I let it slip
and told him Yiyi is my nickname.
But you are calling me by my real name.
If you like it,
I will call you Yiyi later on.
Okay.
I feel like you're not upset with me.
So what's wrong with you?
Zi'an.
You said we'd trust each other.
I've told you
all my important secrets.
If you have some secrets
torturing you,
I hope you can tell me.
Let me share the burden with you.
Is this
the new bad money?
It is a little premature
to infer from a single piece of bad money
that Lord Yang
is behind these cases.
Now I'm just making a guess.
But...
But the guess scares you.
If my father really had nothing to do with this case,
then how did this new bad money
end up in his study?
Is it possible that
Lord Yang is secretly investigating this case?
But it is so important
and you are his son.
So he concealed it from you
to keep you safe.
That makes sense
if it is really because of the bad money case.
The other day when I went back home,
father said Lord Han and he inspected the Ministry of War.
But I noticed that
his shoes were covered with dirt
which is obviously red mud from the suburbs.
Red mud?
Which place in Chang'An can we find red mud?
At the west part of the city.
If father went to the west part of the city
not because of the bad money case and the abduction case,
then why did he lie to me?
We inferred before
that the officials in the court wanted to make a fortune by producing bad money.
After the mint were destroyed by us,
they wanted to gain profits by kidnapping children.
If it is really like this, then these two cases must be closely related.
So...
As long as we can find
the evidence of one of these two cases,
we will discover who is behind them.
But for the moment,
father is the most likely suspect
because he has bad money hidden at home.
Zi'an.
I hope that
it is just my wild imagination.
Hopefully,
this has nothing to do with my father.
Zi'an.
I have a plan,
which can let us know who is wrong,
you or Lord Yang.
But I have to find one thing first.
I don't know if I can find it.
Zi'an.
The jury is still out.
Don't think too much.
Look at you.
You're frowning.
Yiyi.
Thank you.
Mr. Yang.
Mr...
What's up?
Boss made me take you and Mr. Shen
to Changsheng Restaurant for dinner.
But nowhere
can I find Mr. Shen.
If you see him,
tell him about it.
Thanks.
See you.
How time flies! We're about to graduate.
After graduation,
I want to run a restaurant and become a boss.
Dieyi.
Don't forget to invite me to sing and dance at your restaurant.
Okay.
I'm afraid that the little witch doesn't agree.
What doesn't she agree?
She is annoying.
Don't mention her.
Yiyi is so good
to make a future plan before graduation.
But we
still don't know what to do.
So I envy Dieyi
for her freedom of
moving about.
Don't worry about that.
Okay.
Let me plan it for you.
Xinyuan serves as an accountant.
Dugu is in charge of brewing wine.
Tangtang will play the guqin and dance.
Since Zi'an is
not good at anything,
he can do the chores.
With a swordsman brewing wine for you,
the only son of the Assistant Minister of War dancing for you,
the Prime Minister's son doing chores for you
and Second Prince serving as an accountant for you,
Dieyi,
your restaurant really stands out.
Yes.
I should come up with a good name for it.
It's called
Great fortune,
Thriving business,
Big money,
Five-Tiger Restaurant!
How about this?
Dieyi.
This name is too...
Don't call it cheesy.
...vulgar.
Okay.
Let me propose a toast.
May we graduate successfully!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Don't step on the paper money.
It's unlucky.
Tangtang.
I'm surprised that you believe in ghosts.
Because this man's death is too strange.
Who is the deceased?
I heard from my father that
it was Lord Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu?
Yes.
It's said that a box full of bad money and a written confession
had been found in his house.
In the confession, Lord Zhang admitted to bribing senior officials with bad money.
The crime was discovered by Censor Tu.
When he was collecting evidence
to report to His Majesty,
Lord Zhang killed him.
After that, he felt guilty
and wrote this confession.
He pleaded with His Majesty to spare his family and then killed himself.
Where is the evidence that Censor Tu has collected?
I'm afraid
it has been destroyed.
This was not done by one person.
The list of the officials he bribed,
the mint that produced bad money
and the transaction details are all gone.
Why did he kill himself?
= Zhang's Mansion =
That makes sense.
But now the government has taken over the case.
We don't need to think about it.
Well.
Are you going back to Shangyi School?
No, I've something else to do.
I go first.
Me too.
Then
what about you, Dieyi?
I have something to discuss with Xinyuan.
Okay.
Take care.
It's so unlucky.
Dieyi,
what do you want to discuss with me?
I have a very big favor
to ask of you.
Only you
can do it.
Okay.
What's that?
I need you to find something for me.
But it can only be found in the palace.
Dugu.
You said that the boss of Ningxiang Pavilion
was like the assassin who killed Censor Tu.
Have you made any progress with that?
The other day,
I saw Rou outside Zhang's mansion.
If I told Zi'an about it,
she would be involved in it.
Not yet.
I'm going to Ningxiang Pavilion
to investigate again.
Let me go with you.
No.
This case is entrusted with Lord Yang.
If you go there, you will attract so many people's attention.
Let me handle it.
That makes sense.
There are many mysteries in this case.
Any new information,
be sure to let me know.
What kind of girl do you like?
Let me choose a girl for you.
Master,
today I learned a new dance routine.
Since you come,
let me perform it for you.
He won't watch you dance.
Master.
I also learned a new dance routine.
Let me perform it for you.
Well.
Let him go into the room first.
I want to see Ning Xiang.
Ning Xiang the boss?
Ning Xiang is not the person
that everyone can see.
Who are you?
Do you know her?
Yes.
Let me tell her about it first.
Don't bother.
Let him go upstairs.
You can leave now.
Without my permission,
don't let anyone go inside.
Yes, Ning Xiang.
Mr. Dugu, why do you come to my place today?
Rou.
I'm afraid you forgot
what I said that day.
I'm Ning Xiang.
I'm the boss of this Ningxiang Pavilion.
I know it's you.
I won't forget the scar on your body
and the nepenthe flowers in the garden.
Over these years,
wherever I went,
I had enquired about your whereabouts,
but always to no avail.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Look at me now.
I have enough food to eat
and enough clothes to wear.
I'm quite good.
Then why did you act as an assassin?
There is something you should not know.
It's for your safety.
Rou, I know that
these years you must have suffered a lot.
Now we meet again,
I won't let you suffer any more.
Listen to me.
Killing a senior official
is a capital crime.
I know
you must have been forced by someone.
Tell me who he is.
I can help you.
I said that Rou was dead.
You identify me as the one you are after
simply by the nepenthe flowers in the garden
and the scar on my hand.
I could easily destroy all the flowers
and gouge the scar out of my hand.
Thus,
can I sever all ties with you?
Dugu.
Are you insane?
What are you doing?
Rou.
I admitted that I dumped you.
Now I find you by the scar on your body.
So you must promise me.
If one day
we're apart again,
even if I'm not able to find you,
you'd try to find me.
Zi'an.
Yiyi.
Are you still thinking about the bad money case?
I've thought again about whether the assassination of Censor Tu
has anything to do with Ningxiang Pavilion,
the abduction case and bad money case.
I feel it's still very suspicious.
I cannot identify my father
as the mastermind of the bad money case
only by a bad coin.
I need to find more material evidence.
Then which do you want?
Find it or not?
I am just kidding.
Emotionally,
I hope the so called evidence
doesn't exist at all.
But reasonably,
since I found the new bad money
in father's room,
I would not ignore this case.
What is it?
A chance.
A chance?
A chance for Lord Yang
and also for you.
You're smart.
You'll surely get it.
This is...
This is a coin of the former dynasty.
Actually it's the coinage collected in the Imperial Mint.
Where did you get it?
Don't you forget we have a friend
who is free to come in and go out of the palace?
Xinyuan.
The patterns of the coins of the former dynasty
is basically the same as that of the current ones
except that there's a slight difference at the back.
You won't notice it without carefully looking at it.
It's usually regarded as bad money
because it has a different weight.
Yiyi.
You want me to set a trap.
If your father is not guilty,
and he is, as we've expected,
investigating the case in private
and he doesn't want you to get involved,
he'd ask you about it.
If father
did get involved in it
and he had repented of it,
he'd confess it to His Majesty himself.
This is my warning to my father
as well as a chance and time given to him.
Zi'an.
This is the first time that I hope you're wrong.
Yiyi.
Thank you.
But this is not enough.
It's just a chance.
We also need to be fully prepared
to find more material evidence.
The evidence should be so solid that no one can deny it.
Like the mold of the bad money
or the list of the people involved in the case.
But
it's no easy job to
find the key evidence.
Don't strain yourself thinking about it.
It's important to have dinner.
Come on.
Let's have dinner.
Dieyi.
Come here.
You're late.
Look.
I set aside two drumsticks for you.
You can have them.
Otherwise they would be eaten by Diviner.
I think they would be eaten by you.
Xue.
You should learn to be silent on some occasions.
Dieyi.
Let's dig in
before the dinner gets cold.
Okay.
Dieyi.
The little witch wanted me to ask you
if you have picked the pattern.
What pattern?
The jade patterns
she showed you earlier.
After you pick one,
she would have it engraved
and give it to you before you graduate.
You'd better pick one immediately.
Or she will come and pester me again tomorrow.
I think actually you want to see her.
Dugu Muxue!
Tangtang.
I think so too.
Ever since you got to know Yu'er,
you've spent less and less time with us.
Did you...
What's on your mind?
Engraved...
Look.
Dieyi can't stand it.
Follow me.
Dieyi.
She doesn't want to talk to you.
Both of you
had better jam your mouths with drumsticks.
You mean
you know where to find the evidence.
If I really find it,
I have to pretend to
thank Han Yu'er.
Let's talk about business.
Do you remember that after we got back from the battlefield,
Han Yu'er was always coming to see me.
Shen.
Wait a second.
Shen.
I brought you so many patterns.
Could you just pick one?
I will take it to
the best jade workshop in Chang'An to have it engraved.
Miss Yu'er.
I really don't like jade.
Shen.
If you don't like jade,
how come you have Sinan pendant on you every day?
Miss Han.
You're a girl.
You're also the daughter of Minister Han.
It's not suitable for you to pull at a man's clothes
at Shangyi School.
My dad says
where there is a will,
there is a way.
Since I can make a hole on this jade,
I don't believe I cannot impress you.
You mean the jade workshop?
With a bad coin,
we can only suspect that Lord Yang has something to do with the case.
Finding the mold
is equal to identifying the person behind it
and getting the undeniable evidence.
The best engraver in Chang'An is
either in the palace
or in the jade workshop at the west part of the city.
Even a jade engraver like Han Yu'er would go there,
not to mention other people.
And in addition,
the jade workshop is near the main street.
With so many customers going to and fro,
you can easily take away the mold
without being noticed by other people.
I am talking about business.
Why are you hitting me?
I want to see
what in your head
that makes you so smart.
Do you want to know?
Yes.
What do you mean?
Come here.
Listen.
What?
Do you hear it?
No.
It's good that you don't hear anything.
That means my head
is full of ingenuity
instead of flowing water.
I know.
You do have water in your head,
and it fills up your whole brain.
See you.
Yang Zi'an!
Mister,
how may I help you?
I want to meet your boss.
What can I do for you, mister?
Your jade workshop cheated customers.
Mister, don't talk nonsense.
I'm not talking nonsense.
Everyone here,
come and have a look at it.
I brought such a good piece of jade here
to have it engraved.
They messed it up.
I got so angry.
I can't believe this.
This shop is known to have excellent workmanship.
They might not have made this mistake.
If you don't believe me,
you can have a look at this jade stone.
They cut a deep hole on it.
It's really a good jade stone.
No one will cut a hole on his own jade stone
just in order to slander the workshop.
Right?
- Yes. - Yes.
Mister.
Stay calm.
Let's go inside and talk about it.
No.
I'd like to talk about it right here.
Everyone is here.
If I slander your workshop,
everyone here
can be witnesses to it.
Mister, who engraved
this jade for you?
I can't remember clearly.
Why don't you ask them all out
and let me identify them one by one?
But...
Are you guilty?
He is guilty.
Call them all out.
Yes.
Just a moment, please.
Excuse me,
boss wants you all out.
Mister, please.
Not this one.
He is too short.
He is too fat.
This one is too tall.
I can't remember clearly.
After thinking carefully,
I think maybe I didn't have it engraved here.
Whatever.
I don't want to look into it any more.
See you.
Mister. Mister.
Boss.
I think this guy is intentionally finding fault with us.
Next time we see him,
let's fix him.
Okay. Get back to work.
How is it going?
Did you get the mold?
No.
What can we do now?
But I found something more important.
What's that?
I'd like to keep it as a secret now.
You'll wait and see.
Is it really so important
that you cannot tell me?
Anyway.
You go back to Shangyi School first.
I have something to do.
What's that?
Giving the suspect a dose of his own medicine.
I haven't thought that
you would come to this place to eat noodles.
This stall is small,
but the noodles here are quite delicious.
Really?
Certainly.
Then I must make a pig of myself at the noodles here.
Here it comes.
Excuse me.
Here come your noodles.
Enjoy yourselves.
Thanks.
Okay. Let's dig in.
You know what?
Even such a picky person like my grandma
likes to eat noodles here.
How do you like it?
It's really good.
Speaking of your grandma,
how I wish I would have such a doting grandma!
My mom died young.
My dad loves me,
but sometimes I still feel lonely.
Next time you feel lonely again,
come over to my place.
All of my family will welcome you.
Really?
Absolutely.
Don't you think I'm annoying?
No.
Only if
you don't hit others from time to time.
I...
See? You want to hit me again.
It's terrible.
Something bad happened over there.
What happened?
Come on.
Boss.
Silver is on the table.
Lords,
I beg you to spare me.
Lords,
I beg you to spare me.
This beast
bit my child first.
Then I killed it accidently.
Lords.
You idiot!
Do you know that
the hound you killed belongs to the crown prince?
Who is a beast,
you or it?
Your Highness,
please spare me.
The crown prince.
The dog belongs to the crown prince.
He must have stirred up the trouble.
He has gone too far.
Miss Han.
Don't stop me.
Let me talk to him.
Stay calm.
Keep watching to see what will happen next.
I've heard that
the crown prince is imperious
and domineering.
It's true.
You said it.
It's just a dog.
Look at the boy. He is pathetic.
Yes.
He should go to a doctor soon.
Yes.
Take him to see a doctor.
You...
Your Highness.
You don't need to do this.
I'm the crown prince of Great Yu
not a rascal or bully.
I won't be so unreasonable.
Rise to your feet first.
Since the child is hurt,
take the money
and take him to see a doctor quickly.
Thank you, Your Highness.
You're so kind.
Thank you, Your Highness.
You're so kind.
Thank you, Your Highness.
You're so kind.
Since when did he become so kind?
I'm afraid it's not so easy.
Get ready! Go!
Get out of the way.
Come on.
Let's follow the man and his child to see what will happen.
Hold on!
We're almost there.
Hold on!
You killed
the crown prince's favorite dog.
You have to compensate for it.
Lord, I have no money.
You certainly have little money.
You overreached yourself. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.
We'll take his life as compensation.
Lord.
Don't do that, lord.
Please spare me.
His Highness said
he'd let us go.
A debtor must pay with money,
and a murder with his life.
It makes sense.
Even if we take your son's life as compensation,
His Highness has suffered more than you do.
Lord, don't, lord.
Lord.
Please spare me, lord.
Please spare me.
Please spare me, lord.
Stop!
I'm wondering who is so bold as to stop us.
It turns out to be Second Prince.
As the guards of the crown prince,
are you afraid of being brought to justice
when oppressing ordinary people?
We were ordered by the crown prince
to kill this idiot
as compensation for the dog.
Now I'm here.
Who dares to kill him?
Your Highness,
we were just ordered to do this.
Please don't make it hard for us.
If the crown prince insist,
I don't mind
telling His Majesty about this
and letting him make a fair judgment.
If the crown prince ask about this,
you just say that
I protect them.
Okay. Please take care of yourself, Your Highness.
Off
we go.
Thank you.
With the crown prince behind them,
they are so disgusting.
But Diviner,
you are always respectful to the crown prince.
I think you are afraid of him.
You are actually...
Today you really impressed me a lot!
As a younger brother,
it's my duty to respect my elder brother.
But today Crown Prince
has really gone overboard with it.
Second Prince.
I feel you are so cool today
to beat up
those arrogant guys.
Take this money.
Go home quickly, pack up
and leave Chang'An.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Greetings to you, Your Highness.
Your Highness.
The man and the child were saved by Second Prince.
What?
How dare he threaten me!
Yes.
I dare not lie to you.
This is what Second Prince said.
We're
at an inferior position,
so we dare not defy him
and went back to tell you about this.
After he got some awards at Shangyi School,
he thought His Majesty would think highly of him.
Well.
I want to see
what great things he would do.
Your Highness.
Sorry to keep you waiting for so long.
It's my fault.
Let's go.
My hound is dead.
I've no mood for hunting today.
Second Prince is becoming
more and more impetuous.
How dare he act against me now!
Actually, hunting is just an excuse.
I have gathered allies from all over the country.
They are waiting for you in West Mountain.
It's a little too fast.
This is not a good place where we can discuss it.
Please go to West Mountain
and discuss it together.
Your Highness.
This way please.
Greetings to you, Your Highness.
Take your seats, please.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Lord Han,
why didn't you discuss it with me?
Do all of you here
know the reason
why His Highness invited you to this place?
We are willing to follow at His Highness' heels.
Since Lord Han and Your Highness
have made full preparations for it,
we will be at your service.
You're always
paying excessive attention to wording.
Your Highness.
I'm a rough guy.
I like to say what I like to say.
If you want to rebel, I'll help you.
But don't forget
to give me those cities
you promised.
What cities?
Lord Han.
I think it needs further consideration.
Now His Majesty doesn't mean to abolish me.
I think we can put it on hold.
You just said that
Second Prince
began to act against you openly.
He is now held in high esteem by His Majesty.
His Majesty
has praised Second Prince many times
before all the ministers
for his studying diligently
and caring about the people.
He said Second Prince is quite like who he was.
If this goes on like this,
I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before you are abolished.
Plus Second Prince
has made close friends with many students
when studying at Shangyi School for four years.
Especially Yang Zi'an
and Shen Dieyi.
If these two persons get rewards from His Majesty
and serve in the court for a few years,
they'd become capable assistants of Second Prince.
Thus
they would pose great threats to Your Highness.
Do as you said.
But Lord Han,
you must make sure that we will succeed.
You don't need to worry.
I have made the plan.
Today I ask you to be here
in order to encourage them.
We'll discuss the specific time and location
later.
Okay.
Everyone here,
I will give you
what I promised
after we successfully get the throne.
Thank you, Your Highness.
We won't
flinch from any danger
or difficulty.
Good!
I'd like to propose a toast to you all.
Hopefully, we can realize our dreams
and successfully grab the throne.
Yes.
Cheers!
Do you bear in mind
what Lord Han told you to do?
Yes.
Good.
Another thing is
that you should be more careful next time.
= Yang's Mansion =
You are late today.
Someone was on my tail.
On your tail?
Who?
Your son, Yang Zi'an.
Were you recognized by him?
No.
I got rid of him on the way.
My master sent me to inform you
that recently he would need a large sum of money.
You should prepare it.
What a greedy man!
I've given him millions and millions of money.
What's on his mind?
You don't need to worry about it.
Hopefully, you can do it carefully.
Don't let your son prevent you from making a fortune
and prevent our master from achieving his goals.
I know.
Then I'm going back and report it to my master.
You've been cautious throughout your life.
Have you made any mistake?
If you ever did something wrong,
remember to correct it.
Otherwise you'd make a bigger one.
How come there is one missing?
An'er.
Someone.
What can I do for you, My Lord?
Do as I say.
Okay.
If your father is not guilty,
and he is, as we've expected,
investigating the case in private
and he doesn't want you to get involved,
he'd ask you about it.
If father did get involved in it
and he had repented of it,
he'd confess it to His Majesty himself.
This is my warning to my father
as well as a chance and time given to him.
Zi'an.
This is the first time
that I hope you're wrong.
Father,
how I wish that I were wrong.
Hopefully, during the time I give you,
you'll confess the crime to His Majesty yourself.
This is the last thing that
your son can do for you.

Look back at that day.
Memories slip through time.
Caress your face in the air.
For a moment,
it's partly visible.
Thinking about you day and night.
Many scenes
come to mind.
Time stops.
Hard to sleep.
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
Maybe
every time we pass by each other,
we do it because destiny says so.
How to bury the past between me and you?
How I wish to tell.
From the day I met you,
my world has been all about you.
The figure
blurs in the wind.
The smile is flowery.
Right now, all I want to say is
I love you.
