=Who Rules The World=

=Episode 27=

I came to Liangcheng

with some medicine too.

If you need medicine,

bring your prescription
to the Protectorate.

Everything has been arranged.

Wonderful.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Go get your medicine.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Thanks, Your Highness.

The rest of you

can consult me too.

What?

You can heal too, Your Highness?

I...

You don't trust me?

My medical knowledge

might be superior to hers.

Excuse me?

Don't make a bold claim.

Fancy a competition

to see who can save more lives?

Bring it on.

Okay.

Whoever comes to me for the consultation

will receive an extra dou of rice.

Careful.

Line up, please.

Hold on.

Get in line!

No need to rush.

No need to rush.

Madam, let me check on you.

They are as competitive

as usual.

Thanks, Your Highness.

It's finally over.

Thank you for your help today.

I appreciate it.

No need.

We work for the people.

That day on the dam,

I noticed they all
have some sort of sickness.

So I used my mediocre medical knowledge

to treat them.

I thank you on behalf
of the people in Liangcheng.

However, you have proven today

that your medical knowledge
is not mediocre at all.

It's quite good.

Stop putting me on a pedestal already.

Tell me then.

Who won today?

Well.

Let's pretend

you won today.

Just pretend?

In our match today,

I lost to you fair and square.

Heroine Feng, your medical knowledge
commands respect.

Some might even say you're the Hua Tuo,

that your feat
will be recorded in history.

All right.

Since you lost,

you should be punished.

What do you want now?

I think I sat far too long today

so I'm having back pain.

I feel sore.

I wonder

how good of a masseur you are,
Mr. Lanxi?

I'm just curious.

That's all.

Count yourself lucky today.

Relax.

Why are you so tensed?

No, I'm not.

But what if this is an act of vengeance?

I'm not a sore loser.

Don't worry.

Your Highness.

News from the capital of Yongzhou.
Something happened.

What happened?

People in House of Jade
have been arrested.

Inform Chuanyun and Chuanyu

and let them defend Liangcheng.

They will supervise the dam construction

and will also train the Moyu Cavalry.

Tomorrow morning,

you and I will return to the capital.

Yes, Your Highness.

(Unwavering Loyalty)

You're awake?

I'll head back with you tomorrow.

You heard everything?

Let's head back together.

I want to be by your side.

I won't take a no.

So you were awake all this time.

Did you feign asleep just now

so that I would carry you in my arms?

Yes.

(Unwavering Loyalty)

All right.

Let's head back together.

(Unwavering Loyalty)

Who are you?

How dare you intercept the carriage
that holds the Divine Fairy of Dadong?

Continue searching!

Yes, sir.

As you predicted, Your Highness.

Let's go.

Did you hear?

Dadong has a Divine Fairy!

I did.

My cousin just returned

from the Imperial City.

He said the Divine Fairy
was a fine beauty.

Just fine?

That is inaccurate.

I heard

she's as beautiful as a goddess.

I also heard

that when she was praying inside
the Imperial Palace,

flowers bloomed.

Yes.

She was meant

to receive the sarira.

She was praying to Buddha for Dadong.

Touched by her devotion,

Buddha bestowed upon her the sarira.

And then, she brought it
to the Imperial City.

Do you know

that night,

the Imperial City basked
under the holy light?

The people are more reassured
now that we got the sarira.

No wonder the Six States are calmer now.

But on her way back,

she ran into thugs and went missing.

However, Youzhou has sent
its people looking for her.

Divine Fairy has earned God's favor.

I'm sure she will be safe.

Come, have some.

(Tea)
Okay.

(Tea)
Sir,

(Tea)
refill, please.

Coming!

Your Highness.

How is Youzhou?

His Lordship is searching for you.

Our people spied in secret

and found out

that the Heir of Lord attacked you.

My brother sure is afraid that I,
the Divine Fairy,

will usurp his position.

What about the marriage proposal?

Apart from Yongzhou,

the Heirs from other States are coming.

I heard Yongzhou still hasn't decided
on its candidate.

Yongzhou.

We'll stay in Decheng today

and return to Youzhou tomorrow.

Noted.

Stop there.

Miss, spare a few coins, please.

Let them in.

What got into you, madam?

My mother caught a cold a few days ago.

I think it went into her lungs

and our village physicians
couldn't heal her.

I plan to try my luck in the city.

Mother, you can't sit here.

It's okay. Let her be.

Thanks, Miss.

Hong.

Get some bread from the restaurant.

Thanks, Miss.

Thank you so much.

You're too kind.

I will not forget

the kindness you show today.

Don't sweat about it.

We all have ups and downs.

Enjoy.

Wait, Miss.

Can you do us another favor

and let us tag along?

Let them come with us.

Miss...

We can use them as our disguise.

Noted.

My gracious Young Lady

allows you to join us.

Come.

Thanks, Miss.

Thank you.

Thanks, Miss.

After we traverse Zhuoshui,

we'll arrive in Youzhou.

What do you think
of the Princess of Youzhou?

She took the initiative to deliver
the sarira to the Imperial City

and set herself up for much success.

She's not an ordinary woman.

What about the rumor
that she was assaulted?

There was no one on the carriage.

If I have a woman

like that,

my life will be interesting.

Feng Lanxi went to Liangcheng
to meet with Prince Xieyue

and then, Qingzhou withdrew its army.

Qingzhou and Yongzhou are two
neighboring states.

If they join forces,

their power will grow stronger.

That's why I'm heading to Youzhou.

Youzhou and Qingzhou
have been fighting for generations.

Joining hands with Youzhou
against Qingzhou

is our best option.

This time,

Wuyuan,

you have to help me.

Princess Chunran has to be mine.

However, the assault on the princess

might be the doing
of Lord of Youzhou's Heir.

Since the heir of Lord of Youzhou
already treats her like an enemy,

getting control over Youzhou
must be a hard row to hoe for her.

She survived the assault.

That means not all hopes are lost

on Youzhou.

Besides,

if she wants Youzhou to herself,

she needs all the help she can get.

That

only polishes my value.

I have a question.

Ask away.

If Princess Chunran of Youzhou

and Princess Xiyun of Qingzhou

confront you

and say they will only marry you,

who will you pick?

Wuyuan,

if you were me,

who would you pick?

I'm sure you already have an answer.

Princess Xiyun is known worldwide.

While she looks like
a better candidate than Chunran,

Qingzhou and Jizhou are too far away.

If a war breaks out,

it'll be hard for the help to arrive.

At the moment, my pick will be Chunran.

When I ascend
to the throne in the future,

getting Xiyun will be easy.

What now?

You're worried about the people again?

After this,

a war will break out.

To unite all States,

war is inevitable.

But with us containing the conflict,

many

innocents will be spared.

I sure hope so.

May we keep the sacrifices
to the minimum.

I understand.

As a ruler,

my duty is to protect my subjects

and to allow them
to lead a fulfilling life.

Can I hold you against your words?

Definitely.

Your Highness,
they have been dealt with.

You can rest here.

We will stand guard by the door.

Noted.

Mother.

Your drug is potent.

They are some good quality drugs

given by the Heir of Lord

before we left.

All this just to

get rid of the Divine Fairy of Dadong.

Mother,

this strategy of yours is brilliant.

We pretended to be homeless

to follow the princess.

All right. Do not dally.

Kill her

so that we can return to His Highness.

All right.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

They killed my servants.
Now, they are after me!

Help!

Mister,

my daughter here is spouting nonsense.

She's crazy, you see.

She even hit her brother just now.

Look.

Exactly.

Oh, my dear. Come with me.

- Stop bothering others.
- Wait.

If she's your daughter,

what's her name then?

I'll count to three.

Both of you answer at the same time.

One.

Two.

Sir.

Check if someone died in the inn.

Yes, Sir.

She's fine. She's just drugged.

She should be awake soon.

Both perpetrators have been sent
to the local council.

They said

that this woman here had been
donating money.

They wanted her money

so they killed her guards
and her servants.

Both of them are waiting
for their death sentence.

The world is chaotic.

There is much unrest

and everyone is struggling to live.

Those who are at their wit's end
might resort to crimes.

If everyone can adhere
to strict discipline,

it will be a prosperous world indeed.

I will definitely help you

to achieve your ambition.

Fret not, Miss.

You are fine.

You were just drugged.

Also, both assailants

have been captured

and are waiting
for their death sentence.

Thank you for saving my life, Mister.

I will never

forget this favor from you.

You're welcome, Miss.

Can I borrow a bowl of water?

Thanks, Mister.

You have the soundness of mind

to take care of your appearance
after a crisis.

Very admirable.

Thank you, Mister.

My appearance reflects my demeanor.

I have to remind myself

to stay strong,

even if I hit rock bottom.

Those two were after your money.

In your future voyage,

remember

to be discreet
with how you spend your money.

Thank you for the advice, Mister.

Can you do me another favor

and escort me to Youzhou?

How do you know I'm heading to Youzhou?

Princess of Youzhou
is looking for a suitor.

Judging from your manner of speech

and your foreign accent,

you must be heading there
to ask for her hands.

Keen observation, Miss.

I will help you then.

(Qingzhou)

The issue in Liangcheng
has been settled?

Yes.

Prince Yongping of Yongzhou,
Feng Lanxi, was there

and he killed Yu Ming.

He has reclaimed
the ownership of Liangcheng.

And then,

I met with him.

He proposed a canal management project.

Once the canals are built,
the flood will disappear.

Mr. Lanxi.

His reputation precedes him.

Father,

your health...

Do not worry.

I know

my body very well.

I have also consulted the physician.

Feng Lanxi has a great reputation

but he's still someone from Yongzhou.

You have to stay alert.

The world now

is not what it used to be.

A warring Six States

will appear soon.

While Qingzhou
does not wish for dominion,

we can't

give up our defense either.

Father.

Feng Lanxi is trustworthy.

Also,

someone can vouch for his character.

I know. It's Xiyun.

How do you know, Father?

Other than her,

who else can give you this confidence?

However,

why is she involved with Feng Lanxi?

Not just involved, I'm afraid.

Pray tell.

You're the best, Qiwu.

You made this yourself, didn't you?

In this world, only you
know me this well, Qiwu.

You

and your sweet talk.

I'm not lying.

I'm being sincere.

Your stay in Liangcheng

must be a tough one.

Not really.

While my sojourn there wasn't relaxing,

it was fulfilling nevertheless.

Once the dust has settled,

tell me more about

what you and His Highness went through
in Liangcheng.

What do you think?

The last two months

are very eventful.

I'll tell you everything
when I have the time.

So

did something else happen?

Something else?

Like

did His Highness

confess again?

So many things were happening.

We didn't have the time for this.

If it happens, it happens.

Delicious.

Never have I thought that such a story

took place between them.

All right.

It's not bad.

You have indulged Xiyun a lot.

It's good that someone
is taking care of her.

Also, this Feng Lanxi
has spectacular talents

and is a cautious person.

With him by her side,

Xiyun should be getting by just fine.

You are the one
who indulges her the most, Father.

You won't even let me
tell her that you're sick.

It's just a temporary setback.

It's not serious at all.

She's traveling alone.

Do not burden her
with unnecessary worries.

However, I know
the Lord of Yongzhou's temper

very well.

If he knows Feng Lanxi is Hei Fengxi,

he will never let it slide.

About Feng Lanxi's proposal...

If he treats Xiyun well,

Qingzhou

will be his best ally.

As a matter of fact,

old people like us

can never stay in this position forever.

The world

will ultimately

fall onto young people like you.

Yongzhou will see
a change of leadership.

It's up to Feng Lanxi to seize it.

(Governmental Policies)
These are the governmental policies

that I penned after you left Qingzhou.

Do read it.

Father, you're...

My child.

One day,

I'll have to leave this world.

And someone

has to protect Qingzhou.

Noted, Father.

Mentor, I returned
to the capital in secret

and I do not have the liberty
to show my face.

That's why I stay in another residence.

Please tell me

what happened to House of Jade.

Minister Feng investigated
the Ministry of Justice in secret.

She did not find
any missing person reports

or any relevant records.

I checked on the martial arts world

and no one has seen them.

From the moment we are privy
of the disappearance until now,

we have been looking everywhere

to no avail.

It's been two weeks already.

What about the branches
of House of Jade in other cities?

How are they doing?

Those outside of the capital
are safe for the moment.

House of Jade is but a small business.

Yet, they went through all the hassle.

They must be after Fountain Abode.

I believe they are fully prepared

and are waiting for us to move.

However, we don't know
who our enemies are

and what they wish to achieve.

According to the spy we planted

in Prince Ju's residence,

he is already aware

of your true identity.

Is it his doing?

He lacks the competence
to eliminate Fountain Abode.

He won't go as far

as to arrest someone

under my father's nose either.

All he can do is be a hindrance.

This doesn't sound like him at all.

But why House of Jade?

What do they want?

Perhaps

they want a deal.

The captured people are their leverage.

And so,

they would keep them alive.

This is already the best-case scenario.

You know who the enemy is, don't you?

We have

the same person in mind.

In Yongzhou,

only someone with immense power

can pull such a bold move.

It must be from the royal family.

The extended family

of Yongzhou's royal family

has always been dominated by
the Lord of Yongzhou.

They can't possibly pull this off.

The mastermind must be your father,

the Lord of Yongzhou.

What do you plan to do now?

(Father wants me to hand over)

(Fountain Abode to him.)

(He doesn't know who I am yet.)

(That is my opening.)

Your Lordship,

this is what I have found out lately

about Fountain Abode,

including their staff and

their trading history.

At the moment, I can only find out

ordinary trades.

As for their

intel network that has access to all
parties in the martial arts world,

since different individuals

(Owner of Fountain Abode, Hei Fengxi)
were dispatched

separately,

I cannot trace it back

to the origin.

A huge net

with airtight management.

Impressive.

If we can make him work for us,

our nation will grow stronger.

Any other news?

Not at the moment.

However,

per your request,

I investigated the entire royal family

and have not found anyone that matches

with Hei Fengxi.

If he's not from the royal family,

we can give him an official title

and incorporate Fountain Abode

into our resources.

They will then work for Yongzhou.

If he refuses to comply,

he will not be able
to wield this amount of power.

We will then destroy the network.

Noted, Your Lordship.

Do not write off the royal family yet.

If he's from the royal family,

it means he's accumulating power

to overthrow me.

We need to nip his plan in the bud.

Yes, Your Lordship.

Your Lordship, you used
House of Jade as bait.

I'm sure

he has received your message.

Besides, we have set everything up.

We just have to make him
walk into the trap.

My fellow countrymen!

(Missing Person Poster)
Come have a look.

These people have gone missing.

If you see them

and can drop a tip,

you will be rewarded.

Have a look!

Come.

If you see them...

Making a scene in the market

to attract your opponent's attention.

Only you can come up with this.

Everyone loves money.

Money is the quickest way
to achieve one's goal.

This is what I learned from you.

You see.

You're almost running out of money.

No one has taken the bait yet.

If you can drop a tip,

you will be rewarded.

- Here they are.
- Spread the news.

You're disrupting the public order.

Back off.

Bring them in.

Back off.

Move aside.

Take down the people
and the noticeboard.

Back off.

Move! Hurry!

I'm on the move.

(Ministry of Justice)

Move. Quick.

(Ministry of Justice)

(Ministry of Justice)

(Ministry of Justice)

(Ministry of Justice)

(Ministry of Justice)

(Ministry of Justice)

Come out now.

I seek clarifications, Your Highness.

Go ahead, Mentor.

Your Highness,

if your identity is revealed

and His Lordship knows you're the owner

of Fountain Abode,

he will be suspicious of you.

He will think you're seditious.

He hates being lied to

so he will be furious.

Prince Ju

will seize this opportunity

to add insult to injury.

If you are aware of this,

why are you taking this risk,
Your Highness?

It is an emergency.

You should lay low for the moment.

Do not stay on the front line

lest they find something about you.

Besides,

House of Jade

is full of people ready to die for you.

They will not snitch you out.

Why don't you wait
until the storm is over

before taking your revenge?

Mentor.

I built Fountain Abode

to protect others.

Besides,

I have grown up.

I can protect myself and the people
around me.

Found it.

Those who are arrested

were sent from Zhang Zhongge's office
in the Ministry of Justice

to a private residence 50 meters
to the eastern outskirt.

Official Zhang
from the Ministry of Justice?

He's close to His Lordship.

So the mastermind is His Lordship?

Yes, it's my father.

You already knew?

I was told

my father has heard

of Lanxi's extraordinary feats.

He isn't too happy about it.

Nice move there, Your Highness.

Our plan is going swimmingly.

Anyone from House of Jade

is willing to testify?

They are being interrogated as we speak.

None has given in

but they are definitely
guilty of treason.

Soon, they will serve their sentence.

Force him out.

Ju, you will take the lead.

Circulate the news

that if he doesn't appear
within the next three days,

all his subordinates will be killed.

Zhang Zhongge and you
will be watching closely nearby

and will be setting up a trap.

We will then wait for our prey.

Yes, Father.

I snuck into the Imperial City
to investigate

but I realized I was being tailed.

Therefore, I played along

and tailed them back.

In their residence,

I found this letter.

It's a wordless letter.

There should be codes on it

and the sender

must be the mastermind.

If this is related
to the Locust and the Cricket,

then it is related to world peace.

After this thing is over,

I'll let my people of Fountain Abode

investigate it.

Thanks, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

I have news.

Prince Ju entered the palace
and told His Lordship

that if the owner of Fountain Abode
did not show himself,

the people in House of Jade

would all die after three days.

After three days?

I knew it was Feng Ju.

He wants me to fight against my father

and he gets to reap the benefit.

What should we do

next?

(Something's off.)

(A rash decision
might lead me to the trap.)

I plan

to save the people of House of Jade.

Father, this is a serious matter.

Shouldn't you discuss this
with Martial Sister or Mr. Feng?

Don't tell them.

They don't want to burden us

and won't let us act on it.

However, Tianshuang Sect
has always defended justice.

We cannot stand still

while something inhumane
unfolds before us.

Let us be the owners

of Fountain Abode.

Do not put Mr. Feng in a tight spot.

It's the only way
to keep all parties intact.

Yes, Master.

Your Highness, Tianshuang Sect
is on the move.

All is as you predicted.

Good.

Now, we stand and watch.

(Lanxi,)

(it's your move next.)

Move aside.

Move aside!

This isn't the route to the palace.

Someone wants to see you.

Do not speak, Your Highness.

You can save it

for later.

Lanxi,

you have returned.

Have a seat.

(Room of Serenity)

Between us,

let's have a talk.

How long ago was it
since we last drank together?

A decade I presume.

Ever since you pretended to be sick.

(Room of Serenity)

That year

was also the year Hei Fengxi
appeared in the martial arts world.

Has it been a decade?

Like an arrow,

how time flies.

Indeed.

A decade has gone by.

I have achieved nothing

but you, Lanxi, have been busy.

I want to rest too

but some business remains unfinished.

For a decade, I can't sleep well.

However,

I had a wonderful sleep last night.

For once, I came to terms
with many things

and I have made a lot of decisions.

Lanxi, are you trying
to come clean to Father now?

If Father knows

you're the owner of Fountain Abode,

will he still care that you're his son?

You don't have any proof.

Why should I turn myself in?

You're just trying to give me a scare.

Haven't you received

the news that people in House of Jade
will be executed soon?

Unless

you don't care about them?

Oh, right.

You look all virtuous from the surface

but deep down,
you couldn't care less about others.

I wonder how despair

your followers will feel.

Father gave you three days

(Room of Serenity)
to identify the owner of Fountain Abode.

I will give him three days too.

In your opinion,

between the power Fountain Abode holds

and the life of Yongzhou's Third Prince,

which one does he cherish more?
