=Who Rules The World=

=Episode 10=

On my way back, I encountered

a group of flood victims
who were heading to the capital

to seek refuge.

I know Your Lordship
cares very much for the people,

so I lent them a hand.

Mother, your leg
was previously injured...

But Mother,

didn't you suffer a leg injury before?

You're all right, Xi.

I am so glad.

I've made you worry, Your Highness.

I am all right.

Your Highness has had a tiring journey.

You've had a tiring trip, Baili.

Return to the palace with me now.

Let's go.

(Everlasting Prosperity and Peace)

Your Lordship,
I have another matter to report.

A while ago,

I ran into

the wife of our clan leader
at the Yutan Stream.

During our conversation,

I learned
that Mother-in-law was a descendant

of the Xiao family
of the previous dynasty.

Is that true?

I wouldn't dare lie to Your Lordship.

Madam Xiao has updated
the genealogy register.

It will be sent to the capital
in a couple of days.

Xi. Baili has been so thoughtful of you.

She cares for you deeply.

We in Yongzhou
have always valued filial piety.

Shouldn't you give her a ride

as a gesture of gratitude?

Of course.

Your Lordship,
I would like to report something.

Come forth.

Greetings, Your Lordship, Your Highness.

While one should sing the praises
of Her Highness' low profile voyage

and her kindness in helping the needy,

her escort, Sun Mingyang,
should be punished.

How so?

As the saying goes,

no royalty should shoulder
unnecessary risks.

Her Highness is of noble status.

As her escort and protector,

he should have advised Her Highness
to think twice.

Even if Her Highness insisted on
traveling with the commoners,

he shouldn't have dispatched
all other guards away.

Has he verified the background
of these commoners

to see if traitors lie among them?

The Six States are in turmoil.

Prince Yongping barely escaped
from an assassination attempt.

If something dire happened
to Her Highness,

our nation would not be able
to bear this pain.

I should be punished for my oversight!

How do you think we should proceed?

To make sure Official Sun retains
this valuable lesson,

he should be administered
public flagellation.

In public? That's too harsh a sanction.

Sun Mingyang committed a grave mistake.

On a legal level,
he deserves a punishment.

On a personal level,
his mother is part of the Feng family.

As the chief of the Feng family,

I should punish him severely
to set an example.

Your Lordship, Your Highness,

is my logic not sound?

Yes, it is.

However, public flagellation

is overly harsh.

A three-year confiscation of his salary.

Noted.

There is one other person
who should be punished too.

Who?

Vice Minister Yang of Rite.

Ministry of Rite is in charge of the
homecoming ceremony today.

Her Highness returned to the capital
in plain clothing

yet no one was informed
of such a matter.

If an assassin

lurked among the civilians and struck,

will you be able
to shoulder the outcome?

My sincerest apologies!

It seems like

what you did today

suffered from a lack of foresight.

I am indeed at fault.

Yuan Lu.

Yes, Your Lordship.

Find another person
to give Baili a ride.

Noted.

Interrupting your carriage
is also a crime, Your Lordship.

Please punish me for my mistake.

You are a loyal servant, Official Feng.

You have not made any mistakes.

Hop on in.

(Everlasting Prosperity and Peace)

Father,

when Her Highness mentioned the Xiaos,

why was His Lordship so happy?

His Lordship's mother was a palace maid.

Before he inherited the throne,

he was ranked the lowest
among all princes.

If the then heir of Lord of Yongzhou
did not pass away in a riding accident,

the throne might be...

The previous Lord knew how lowly
the mother of the current Lord is,

and that's why the current Lord married
Princess Yige of the Imperial Family.

No wonder His Lordship is always
harsh towards His Highness

but he dotes on Baili, who came

from a lowly background.

Stop this nonsense.

Baili knows more tricks

than Prince Ju will ever know.

Now that she has returned
to the capital,

His Highness will have another patch
of a rough time.

Lanxi is almost like another person

after our last encounter

several months ago.

His attitude towards me...

You have to thank

your son, Ju, for that.

He is your child too, Your Lordship.

He is your favorite.

It's precisely because of that

that he grew the guts to bring harm

to his own brother.

Your Lordship.

Ju is young and naive.

He was used by someone unscrupulous.

Report!

Your Lordship, Prince Ju

seeks an audience with you in the hall.

Make him wait in the side hall.

Yes, Your Lordship.

You can speak

to your son.

I will not join the conversation.

Do remind him of

how foolish his recent endeavors

have been.

I asked Lanxi to give you a ride

because I wanted everyone to see

how loving

the royal family of Yongzhou is.

The state that fights

among themselves first

will be the first state to be devoured

by the rest.

We have been together
for more than two decades.

You can understand this necessity,
don't you?

Yes.

Oh,

if you have the time,

please pay more attention to Feng Chang.

He is my eldest son.

(Mother, your leg
was previously injured...)

(You're all right, Xi.)

(I am so glad.)

Not even a glimpse.

She would rather put on

a loving mother act with Lanxi

than look at her biological son
in the face.

Shopkeeper, we have served him
three jin of wine.

He doesn't want any female companion
or side dish.

He's Prince Chang!

He wants to drown his sorrow
in my restaurant

but he didn't reveal his identity.

We can only play dumb.

Go dilute his wine

with some water.

Yes, sir.

Prince Ju.

Her Highness can see you now.

Mother.

Has Father left?

Why didn't father allow me

to offer my greetings just now?

Is he...

Never panic in the face of surprises.

I just taught you that

and you forgot all about it.

Right.

I took everything

into account

but I failed to realize that Feng Lanxi
is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

He hid his claws well

for more than a decade.

Now that he bore his claws,

they are sharper and more well-hidden
than mine.

Mother,

what did Father tell you?

Your father said

that your recent endeavors
were quite frankly embarrassing.

He wanted both of us to remain obedient

and stop causing trouble.

What should we do then?

Why are you panicking?

I have been with your father
since I was 16.

I know what he's thinking.

All these years

when you try to outdo

Feng Lanxi, be it openly or secretly,

it is done with your father's
tacit agreement.

It's because deep down,

he is ashamed

of the fact that he is a child
of a palace maid.

That's why he never

ever liked Yige,

not to mention

her bloodline, Feng Lanxi.

But remember this,

no matter how much your father

loves both of us,

nothing can entice him as well
as power and glory can.

On my way back,

your uncle had a missive delivered to me.

He said that after the Empyrean Token
went missing,

your father
has been amassing the military

by the border.

At the moment,

he doesn't want

any domestic trouble.

Mother,

maybe I can volunteer
to train the troops?

If I can come back
with an achievement, Father will...

No!

Swords on the battlefield can't tell
if you are a friend or foe.

They are not like what you do
in the training field.

I only have a son.

I can't risk losing you.

You, however, should get married soon.

Marry Yan and establish a family.

That will put my mind to rest.

Mother, I...

Yan's father, Duke Liang

holds an important position
in the court.

You know very well the benefits

of marrying her.

I know.

But I have no time for it now.

Whenever I think about how Lanxi keeps
stealing my thunder,

I get frustrated.

Your father doesn't want you

to eliminate Feng Lanxi in this
straightforward fashion.

After all,

Feng Lanxi
is the firstborn of the late queen.

But if a third person does it,

we won't be dragged into this.

What would you like to pawn, miss?

All of them.

After seeing what you have here,

I can offer you three silver leaves
maximum.

Three silver leaves?

That's too little.

It's already a generous offer.

Miss, if you pawn that too,

I can offer you a higher price.

Don't take it off.

You cannot sell this hairpin for wine.

This one is not for pawning.

Sir,

three silver leaves is too low an offer.

Five silver leaves maximum.

Not more than that.

But...

If it's still too low a price,

you can consult another pawn shop.

Five silver leaves it is.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Twenty-something people.

Five silver leaves

are only enough
for a day's worth of food.

I will pawn this vase.

Bugger off.

You think you're in House of Jade?

One broken vase

is not worth three silver leaves.

Have you retained the password?

If you have any financial problems,

walk into any House of Jade branch

and you can take anything cheaper than

1,000 silver leaves.

(House of Jade)

Here, please.

Please wait for a moment.

Miss, how may I help?

Dark sky and yellow soil,
monolith pure as jade.

Revered, as the mountain;
followed, as the path to righteousness.

Well received, miss.

I need 50 silver leaves.

I'll be right back.

Please wait here.

(House of Jade)

Have a safe trip.

He fainted.

His legs are twitching.

A demonic possession?

Oh my god.

What should we do?

What should we do?

No idea.

This must be demonic possession.

Calm down.

It's just epilepsy.

Find a room.

Help me.

Help me carry him inside.

Come, here.

Thank god you're here to help.

This is what you requested.

Thanks.

That said...

I know

this sickness is treated as a taboo.

I won't tell anyone.

Oh, find him a physician.

Head to the Prince Chang's Residence now.

Noted.

Chang, here.

It's so delicious, mother.

Go away. Don't call me mother.

Chang.

You took a fall?

Let me have a look.

Let me have a look.

You're awake, Your Highness.

Why am I here?

Did it happen again?

Someone saved you in time.

I also used a Six-Herbs Calming Pill
on you.

The people from House of Jade
sent me back?

This sickness of yours

hasn't resurfaced for many years.

It must be due to the cold
you contacted earlier on

and you had too much to drink.

(Feng Chang's Residence Housekeeper,
Uncle De)

Don't worry.

I have already told everyone

that you left the capital

on a hunting trip.

Your Highness,

drink this.

You're dismissed for now.

Yes, sir.

Mother.

Come.

Young Master.

- What happened, Young Master?
- Chang!

- Chang!
- Young Master, wake up!

- It's demonic possession.
- Young Master!

Monster.

- Monster.
- Young Master.

What a freak.

(Young Baili)

His birth brought

nothing but misfortune to me.
That's why I'm here.

(Young Feng Chang)
And now, he's possessed by a demon.

His Highness will not like me.

I don't care. I don't want to see him.

Mother.

Uncle De.

Mother saw me

(Young Uncle De)
in the garden just now.

Why did she say she was not my mother?

It's not that Her Highness
doesn't acknowledge you as her son.

She has her own difficulty now.

So she can't.

When you grow up and make her proud,

she will call you her son.

Uncle De,

(Teenager Feng Chang)
if I can recite Long Ballad,

will she acknowledge me as her son?

Your Highness!

Are you all right, Your Highness?

Do not let anyone know.

If His Lordship knows

that I gave birth
to this demonic bastard,

it might affect the one

in my womb now.

He's a jinx.

Your Highness.

I heard everything.

She called me a bastard.

Don't overthink it.

Her Highness was forced
to use that term.

Uncle De,

when will you stop lying to me?

Someone!

Is there anyone else
who witnessed the episode?

No one else, sir.

Do you have the ledger for that day?

I'll give it to you here.

Destroy it.

Noted.

Since you're the owner of House of Jade,

you will be spared.

If I ever hear

something I don't want to hear...

Nothing will go out, sir.

Bring them in.

I'll deal

with their lives.

Bring them in.

Go.

(That's what I get
for seeing what I shouldn't have.)

Why are you here?

Why were you sleeping here?

The physician said
that Langhua would wake up soon.

Her body needs to heal
so he wrote a prescription.

Apparently, even crushing the herbs
will incur a fee.

I will not pay for that

so I crushed the herbs myself.

While I was working on it,

perhaps it was too quiet,

I fell asleep.

Your Highness, Miss Fengxi

withdrew 50 silver leaves
from House of Jade today.

Noted.

If you fall sick

to avoid paying this petty fee,

it won't be worth it.

Living in the capital of Yongzhou
is not easy.

Everything is so expensive.

What now?

Tired of being the Acting Leader
of Tianshuang Sect?

You know me.

I'm not built for it.

Also,

we have a lot of disciples.

I can't manage all of them.

Some of them even revel
in disobeying me.

I am exhausted.

It's amusing to see you all flustered

for something for once.

You won my respect, truly.

Fountain Abode is huge

and everything is so organized.

Want to know how I do it?

I can teach you.

I don't have the tuition fee.

A bowl of noodles will do.

The one you made on the ship.

Just a bowl of noodles?

Yes.

♪Like the cascading galaxy,
you descend upon me♪

♪Just like the hustle and bustle
of this mortal realm♪

Here, the tuition fee.

♪When we have finally found our equal♪

♪No one will want♪

♪To give up easily♪

♪Wind is just the outline of the cloud♪

♪Black is the lock of the White♪

♪Night is when the Day sleeps♪

♪You are a part of me♪

♪Right or wrong,
don't worry about the why♪

♪Pain or joy,
they are from our obsession♪

♪If some things cannot be taken apart♪

♪Then let's face
the uncertainty together♪

(Stellar Talent)

Huang Chao wants to return
the Empyrean Token?

Interesting.

Your Highness,
isn't the token a counterfeit?

That's why it's interesting.

I'm afraid

this is Mr. Yu's idea.

Sir, Minister Feng
has come to visit you.

Let her wait in the main hall.

Noted.

Your Highness,
she just did you a huge favor.

Perhaps you can meet her here?

It will be less formal.

Stop it.

I'm not spouting nonsense.

Disregarding Minister Feng's
exceptional character,

like what they say,

if you want a favor from someone,

you treat him nicely.

Am I not nice enough?

I know love has no place
in your heart, sir.

But

giving her the title of wife

in exchange for the support from
the entire Feng family

sounds like a splendid deal.

Are you done?

Your...

Sorry for the long wait, Minister Feng.

You look good, Your Highness.

You must have had several days
of good sleep.

All thanks

to your timely help
outside of the city yesterday.

How may I help, Minister Feng?

Now that you have the title
of Prince Yongping,

His Lordship is pondering
about your marriage.

What is your opinion, Your Highness?

Should I intervene?

Give me your advice, Minister Feng.

If you can ask for my hands properly,

I can make sure

that you never have to worry

about a thing in your future.

I like your candor, Minister Feng.

If I agree to this, however,

I will become a man who has to rely

on his wife to succeed.

I burned the bridge with Her Highness

in front of His Lordship
and other ministers.

I'm on my way to becoming a pariah.

I came here hastily

not because you need me,

but because

I need you, Your Highness.

I do not care much about romance

and I do not want to
ruin your happiness forever.

It sounds like

your heart already belongs
to someone else, Your Highness.

Only to the world.

Then for the sake of...

But I detest those who sacrifice love

in the name of the world's betterment.

I'm afraid

I have to turn you down, Minister Feng.

I cannot

ask for your hands at the moment.

However, I can promise you

that the Feng family will continue holding

onto its lofty position.

Thanks, Your Highness.

I understand.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

The Feng family is still your Feng family.

I will also wait for the day

I become yours.

Having your assistance

is already a blessing.

Although

you cannot reciprocate
my feelings today,

I will continue to work hard

to help you claim the throne earlier.

(The only man in this world
who can be this indifferent towards me)

(is him.)

(However,)

(if he will marry me that easily,)

(then he is not the Prince Lanxi I know.)

From Xuejuan Goods,
ten ingots of Pine Ink,

thirty Huzhou brushes,

ten thousand Xuan papers
and Xuelang papers...

Five silver leaves here.

One snow twill clothing article,

one set of Lunar Headdress

and fifty silver leaves from House of Jade.

You must be mistaken.

Only females need snow twill.

We do not have female masters.

Who will need it?

This purchase

was made by His Highness outside.

His Highness?

There must be a mistake.

His Highness does not mingle around.

Why would he purchase feminine products?

Return the invoice to House of Jade.

Noted.

Madam.

I am heading to House of Jade.
Give it to me.

I can't burden you so, madam.

Besides, this is His Highness'
private affair.

His Highness and I are a family.

Miss Huan.

Should we inform Young Master?

No need.

It's just a trivial matter.

No need to bother Young Master.

Right.

(I'm sure my eyes)

(did not fool me that day.)

(You said you couldn't care less
about romance.)

(Let me see)

(who you bought the snow twill
and the accessories for.)

(House of Jade)

Minister Feng.

Welcome.

This is the invoice you sent
to Prince Yongping's Residence?

Oh, this...

In my opinion,

it's a forgery.

A forgery?

Yes.

The similarity is there

but the honorific spacing
and the characters

cannot escape my eyes.

Recently, I have heard of this thief

who forged restaurant or jewelry bills

and sent them to the rich.

If you do not pay attention to it,

you'll walk into the trap.

Are you speaking the truth?

Why would I lie?

(House of Jade)

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Other than the owner of House of Jade,

all maids

or servants who saw you

have been dealt with.

Only maids and servants?

Wait.

I remember there was

a lady in white.

Your Highness,

if the lady didn't intervene

when you had your episode...

I don't care.

Those who saw me in that situation

have to die.

Investigate further.

Identify the lady.

Yes, sir.

Where are you going, Gu Yu?

I agreed to hang out with a few friends
from the capital of Yongzhou.

Don't head out today.

You sure give a lot of orders, Xiyun.

I have a pair of legs.

I can go wherever I want.

Master said I would...

Master told you to look after us
for the moment.

You really think
you're the Acting Leader?

I know you resent me,

Gu Yu.

Let's spar today.

If you can defeat me,

I will not meddle
in your affair anymore.

Do we have a deal?

If you don't want to spar with me,

you have to train hard.

Don't act tough
if you don't have what it takes.

Xiyun, Langhua is awake now.

Continue your training.

Let's go.

All right.

Stop dallying.

Begin your training now.

You're finally awake.

Do you have any idea

how worried we were about you?

Your pulse is still weak

but it is much more stable now.

Sorry for the trouble.

No, no trouble

at all.

Here.

Drink this broth.

I'll have someone
brew some congee for you.

Here.

This broth is too bitter for me.

Langhua, bitter medicine
makes the best medicine.

It's easier for you to say that.

You should drink it.

Jiurong, feed her the broth.

I'll find some food for you.

No, I will not drink it.

It costs ten silver leaves
for one portion.

Xiyun spent a great deal of effort

to get you this.

But it's very, very bitter.

I know it's hard to swallow

so I prepared this for you.

You did?

I'll drink the broth

but after that,

you have to tell me what happened
when I was out.

No problem.

Here, drink it.

Xiyun!

The homing pigeon to Master
has returned.

We still failed
to deliver the letter to him.

Where do you think Master went?

The letter couldn't reach him?

Yes.

Did

something bad happen to him?

He's a powerful man.

No bad thing can come to him.

Don't worry.

And don't let anyone know,

especially Langhua.

She just recovered. She can't risk
having her qi flow disrupted.

Cook something for her now.

I'll figure out a way.

Noted.

Here.

Did you get everything down?

Yes.

Go then.

Mister.

(House of Jade)

Miss,

you're here again.

I'm looking for Hei Fengxi.

Miss,

House of Jade does not contact
the clients directly.

Also...

Don't worry.

He told me

to come here if there's an emergency.

Tell him

that I have an emergency.

Miss, please wait here.

I will send someone to him now.

Thank you.

No problem.

(Jizhou)

(Invitation to Six States Banquet.
from Emperor Chunxi)

His Majesty has issued a decree

to hold a Six States banquet
to welcome me.

I will head
to the Imperial City tomorrow.

What do you think

His Majesty will do to me?

In my opinion,

His Majesty will have two choices.

One,

accept the Empyrean Token,
reward you handsomely,

and praise Jizhou.

Jizhou will be stronger than ever.

However, His Majesty may use Jizhou

as the scapegoat to spare
the Imperial Family from dishonor.

And then, the other five States

will view Jizhou as their common enemy.

What should I do?

Even if this hypothesis
does not come true,

the other States will still view Jizhou
as their enemy.

But you are never afraid of them,
are you, Your Highness?

You know me too well,

Wuyuan.

And the other choice?

His Majesty will notice that the token
is a counterfeit

and accuse you of submitting
a fake token

so that you can keep the real one.

You will then be punished.

This sounds worse.

However,

as long as His Majesty

believes the token is a real one,

then this will never occur.

But it's a counterfeit.

Where did it come from then?

Are you saying

that

this token
came from the Imperial Palace?

All Six States will fight
for the Empyrean Token.

The only one

who can profit from that is His Majesty.

A day without the reappearance
of the Empyrean Token

is a day with more chaos and conflicts.

Whether the token is real or fake,

it has to be returned
to the Imperial City.

You take advantage of me
for the sake of the world.

But you don't want

a broken world, do you?

Although what you really cares about
is the world,

you choose me to be its owner.

In that case,

you must already have a solution.

Actually...

Come out now,

my dear sister.

(Princess of Jizhou, Huang Yu)

Wuyuan.

Your Highness.

Why

are you eavesdropping here?

I am not eavesdropping.

I was here to look for you, Wuyuan.

Coincidentally, you were here.

It's been a while,

Wuyuan.

You didn't visit me this time
when you're back.

He has been

advising me lately.

He doesn't have time for you.

I don't care.

Wuyuan finally came back

but he has to go to the Imperial City
with you tomorrow.

He has to

hang out with me today.

Wuyuan.

Come.

Let me play this song for you.

I've been practicing

the zither sheet you taught me.

Wuyuan,

what do you think?

Wuyuan,

how did I do?

The music of your zither

brought back memories.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

A good thing, of course.

Which is better?

The zither or the musician?

The maverick who roams the world alone,

adored by the world
but finds love in none.

The author of these two lines

must have read my life thoroughly.

I appreciate

your sentiment.

However, as a member of Empyrean Yu family,

I will not live beyond 30 years old.

I can only reject

your precious feelings.

But...

Sorry

for letting you down.

Haven't I told you already?

So?

I know he would reject me

but it won't change a thing.

If he still breathes for another year,

I'll confess to him for another year.

If he still breathes for a decade,
I will confess to him for a decade.

I will not

fall in love with any other man.

All right.

Don't cry.

I have asked the chefs to prepare

some osmanthus cakes, your favorite.

Shopkeeper, any news?

I have delivered your message

but he might not be in this residence.

It's getting late now

so I should head back.

If he comes here,

let him know

that I'll be waiting for him here
tomorrow noon.

Okay.

Why are you tailing me?

I'm here for your head.
