[Episode 32]

Your Majesty, everyone is here. We can start to eat.

We're all family.

No need to be so formal.

Your Majesty, since it's all family, it is inappropriate for me to be here today.

You are thick-skinned. It's fine.

Let's eat.

Today, my body doesn't feel well.

I will not be eating. I will watch you guys eat.

It's been a long time since we gathered.

I have a lot of work to do later,

so I won't drink. Eat.

Eat.

We're not in court, so be more comfortable.

You have been like this since you were little.

Up to now, you're still like wood.

Look at him.

He never had a good eating presentation

and now it's still the same.

- Fan Xian.
- I'm here.

Between those two, who do you prefer?

A family meal, casual conversation.

- All is forgiven?
- Yes.

Then I will say it.

Your Majesty, aren't you playing me?

Aren't you pushing me off the cliff here?

No matter how I answer, it is a dead end.

If you are loyal, you will not be afraid of dying.

If all the loyal ones die, then aren't all the ones left treacherous ones?

Then, are you a loyal or treacherous?

It depends on which one you need. I can be either.

You two. How do you see him?

A marvelous talent and the pillar of the state.

I have seen a lot of those who aren't loyal and treacherous,

but don't see much of the devious, but loyal ones.

One says he's a pillar,

the other says rarely. You put him at a high value.

No matter the value, Fan Xian is worth it.

If so, from today on, you should protect him.

No matter which one of you gets to be next on the throne,

he will always be an important office of the court.

Your Majesty is in your prime. I wish you a long life.

I agree.

Live long?

If I were to live long,

would you be happy about that or not?

Here, here! Continue eating.

Hurry.

How is the taste?

Your Majesty, I don't know.

Don't know?

I'm too anxious, so I can't taste anything.

The past few days, the ministers from the six divisions of the imperial court

are saying that you leaked secrets.

Saying that you have something to do with Yan Bingyun's capture in Northern Qi.

Do you guys know?

I've heard.

I know, too.

You have many students and members under your clique.

If this spreads out, it will be fine after a few days of commotion.

I don't have any students but I will be fair and impartial,

and clear up this misunderstanding.

I have warned my friends in court and persuaded the ones that need to be persuaded.

I have explained what's necessary and won't let the rumors continue.

Fan Xian, if you want to prove yourself to be innocent,

you'll have to put the rumor to rest.

What does Your Majesty hope I do?

Escort Xian En to Northern Qi to exchange Yan Bingyun back.

For this mission, we are missing a team leader.

You are hoping I will do it.

Only if you go personally, will it get rid of the rumors.

It's only a suggestion.

It's your choice in the end.

Remember what I said, no matter what he wants to do.

If it wasn't a royal edict from him,

then don't agree to it.

Fan Xian, before you came into the palace, you went to see Prime Minister Lin.

I did go.

Prime Minister is experienced. You should listen to him more.

If I don't go to Northern Qi, would it count as defying your orders?

No.

But arrangements about your engagement will have to be made.

What-What does that mean?

There are many suspicions about you from every ministry.

If you were to marry Lin Wan'er

and take control of the Inside Treasury, it would be a bit unacceptable.

But it's a good thing.

If that happens, there are a lot of respectable women from respectable families in the capital.

You can choose a new one.

I am willing to go to Northern Qi.

Think about it. I'm not forcing you.

You must think clearly.

I am willing to go. I want to go so badly. Please let me go.

Okay. You can ask Chen Pingping about the itinerary.

When you return, I will have the wedding arrangements made for you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm a bit tired. I will go rest.

You three continue eating.

It's okay.

It's fine.

Oh right, Fan Xian, I left you a gift.

[Xin Yang]

Arise.

Are you waiting for me?

I am here to say goodbye to you.

Because I caused you to lose your post as the commander

and be posted to guard the border.

My heart stings a bit.

Fan Xian received orders to go to the north. Set off immediately.

I got it.

Your Highness, there's news from the Imperial Court.

Fan Xian is indeed leading a diplomatic entourage to the north.

Nice, the border between the two countries is barren and wide.

It's inevitable if there's a mishap.

The place I am stationed is also en route to the north.

Once I have specific details of Fan Xian's schedule,

I will relay the message to you via a fast horse.

I will wait for it then.

What are you looking at?

Look at these flowers.

They don't lack water or sunlight. Why are they wilting?

Letting one tremble with fear upon hearing news about the head,

it's just to worry about these flowers?

Your mother planted these flowers.

If you are worried, you can hire a gardener to tend to them

or move them to flower pots.

Your mother said they have their own fate.

Let them be.

Hence, you have never touched them.

Yes. All these years, no matter how far I went,

I would always think about these flowers.

That's right.

For this period of time, regardless of where I go, I would be thinking of these flowers.

I fear I won't be able to see them again when I'm back.

I fear these flowers won't last till winter.

Do you miss her?

It's okay. These flowers can be salvaged. They merely lack potassium.

Potassium?

When I was studying poison under my teacher, I planted some herbs.

I will go back and concoct some medicinal powder to bring these flowers back to life.

Don't worry. I'm their fate.

Your mother planted the flowers and you are here to protect them.

It's also fate.

Your diplomatic mission for this round is a test and also an opportunity,

but there's something.

You must bring Yan Bingyun back safely.

I understand.

There's something else.

Beware of this person, Shen Zhong, Commander of the Jinyiwei Guards.

You must be careful of him. He's extremely dangerous.

For you to be able to remember him, he must be difficult to deal with.

I left his dossier in your carriage.

Read it carefully on your journey.

You must remember the political situation in Northern Qi.

I will.

You will be going on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi in two days.

I will send men to secretly protect you to guard against Princess Royal taking actions against you.

Okay.

Have you met Lin Ruofu?

Yes.

What did he say?

He said not to agree to whatever His Majesty wants me to do.

But you agreed to everything.

His Majesty said that if I don't go to Northern Qi,

he will replace my marriage.

Although the mission for traveling to Northern Qi is important,

but it can't be compared to the safety of your life.

I think you are not a bad person.

Me?

I'm not bad?

All these years, you are the first person to say this.

I have accurate foresight. I'm among the top hundred.

When you are back in Southern Qing,

you can gradually take over the Inspection and Control Bureau.

By then, the Inside Treasury and the Inspection and Control will be under you.

I will help you in the background

to become the top official in Southern Qing.

By then, no one can be a threat to you.

Even His Majesty?

You shouldn't ask this.

I'm prone to saying something I shouldn't.

Let's go. Someone's waiting for you at Bagua Hall.

Waiting for me?

You will know when you are there.

I think this Number Four poison is the best.

I think the second batch of Number Three is even harder and trickier.

What if you hurt yourself?
[Senior Disciple Leng: Acting Head of Third Division; Inspection and Control Bureau of Southern Qing]

This...

Junior Brother, still remember me?

- Brother Leng?
- Yes, that's right.

Old Fei is not around. I'm leading the Third Division for the time being.

I heard you are going to Northern Qi.

Third Division prepared something for you.

Come take a look.

Hello, Brothers.

Hello, Junior Brother.

Let's dispense with the polite greetings first. Come here.

Your figure is not bad. The measurement is just right.

Come! Try this on.

What is this?

Look. When you wear this inside, it can protect against fire.

Not only can it withstand burning,

it can also resist being killed or wounded by sharp blades.

If the opponent uses a mountain ax,

I will advise you to dodge and hide.

This is the latest creation of the crossbow.

Tap here and it will shoot arrows.

It slanted.

It can still be stealthy but not enough to injure or kill anyone.

It will only kill if it's shot from a harmful spot.

It's not serious. It's very easy to counteract Number Four poison.

He will be up and jumping around later.

An asbestos cloth umbrella.

The spines of the umbrella are very solid.

Open it when you fall from high places.

It will slow down your fall.

It's a cinch to support the weight of four to five people with this chain.

If you are bored, you can have fun strangling people with this.

Look at this jade.

You can break it during a crisis.

It's only good for hiding yourself.

I also put hot pepper powder which can obstruct the enemies.

Open the door now!

Don't!

Quick! Hurry up!

There are hidden needles in this fan.

Number Six poison is placed on them.

It won't kill anyone. It will only cause itchiness.

Itchiness.

As for these big boys here, since you're not going to war,

you won't need to take them along.

These are enough.

By the way, Old Fei also said you have already received the best training in poison.

Hence, we didn't prepare any poison and medicines for you.

Brother, I'm lacking some medicinal ingredients.

Speak. What do you lack?

Cat's buttons, arsenic stones, strychnine, and Nanhai camphor.

Wait.

Cat's button is bitter. It's not suitable.

Arsenic stones and strychnine are not that difficult to find.

With my identity, it's not convenient for me to buy them. I will attract attention.

Okay, don't worry. We have lots of them in Third Division.

Why don't you bring some chloroform with you, too?

A new drug?

It's a newly developed overpowering drug.

Old Fei has already seen it. It's more potent than strychnine.

Is it easy to counteract?

Basically counteract it like the Sedation Perfume.

I see.

Can the arsenic stones replace the poison in the arrows? It's more effective.

They are killing people!

Lord, please get off from the carriage now.

The enemy conducted a surprise attack at the front.

Who are they?

I couldn't see clearly. Those surrounding people who are protecting you,

have lost contact with us. I fear they will be too late in getting here.

Why don't you leave first? I will cover the back.

Lord, leave first.

Third Team, come here.

All the soldiers who are covering us are gone. Lord, leave now!

Teacher? [Fei Jie: Head of Third Division; Inspection and Control Bureau of Southern Qing]

This really stinks.

Concealed crossbow from Third Division and Number Three poison. No,

it's Number Four poison.

You are back in the capital.

I just saw a suspicious character near you.

Everything's fine. I have already taken him down.

Why are you looking at me this way?

He's from the Sixth Division. He was protecting me.

There are too many people at the Inspection and Control Bureau. I don't know everyone.

Is he dead?

He's not. My poison is not life-threatening.

Let's go.

Lord!

Old Fei?

He-He-He...

I'm now with Lord Fan.

Let's go then.

Old Fei, it has been many years since we met.

Your Majesty.

Are you here to quarrel?

I wouldn't dare.

It must be regarding Fan Xian then.

Northern Qi is our enemy after all.

Must he go on this diplomatic mission?

Minister Lu reported sick and went back to his village.

You can take over his post.

I'm not here because of a promotion.

If Fan Xian can be stopped from going to the north.

I can even give up the post of the Vice Minister.

Are you trying to disregard the law of the Imperial Court?

What if Fan Xian gets into a mishap?

He's young and should have more experience.

Or else, how can he handle great tasks?

Don't let him handle this great task then.

Do you know what I like about you?

There are many people who don't want him to go.

You are the only one who's willing to come and see me.

Others seek friendship to disregard the law of the Imperial Court.

Who are you referring to?

You still need to take over the post of Minister Lu.

Fan Xian, too.

Your Majesty.

We are not doing a business transaction.

Allow my personal guards

to protect Fan Xian on his trip to the north.

Only for this time and that's it.

What's wrong? Do you still want me to help you up?

You can leave.

[Rouge Shop]

- No problem. Help me to choose a nice one.
- This looks nice.

- Does this looks nice?
- Let me take a look.

- Do this.
- Let me do it.

- Let's change to another.
- What do you think about this?

You look better now.

This looks much better.

What about this?

No problem. Many people like this.

This is the feeling I wanted.

Why don't you look at this?

I think this is fine, too.

Why are these men here?

My grandson is getting married

and wants to choose some rouge for his bride.

He's shy. Please move aside.

Shop Owner, please help us choose.

Young man,

you look very talented.

You are so likable.

His daughter won't do. My daughter is more beautiful.

Don't go.

She's definitely a beauty.

How could he leave? Look at him.

Let's go.

I'm so envious.

Take a seat, just like in Danzhou.

I will just stand here.

Who operates that shop?

Me.

You are operating a rouge and powder shop?

When I went to Northern Qi to add poison,

the other party was a woman.

I had an idea

and created a rouge with poison.

I didn't expect it to be done that ugly. No one liked it and didn't want to use it.

An accident occurred

and caused a great mistake to happen.

You subsequently established that shop?

You may not know.

Don't look at those women. When they are choosing rouges and powders,

they seem to be haggling over minor details.

But when they are settling the bill, they are very generous.

That kind of extravagance with money, my wife is like this, too.

Old Fei, this is brilliant.

This is an ingenious way to make money.

It has nothing to do with money.

Why did you establish that shop then?

After that incident, I kept thinking about it.

If another similar situation occurs,

I must not make a mistake again.

I kept the shop.

- Has it been many years?
- Yes.

How serious was the mistake? You can still remember it till now.

That mistake then,

ruined Chen Pingping's legs.

Everyone was put down?

Yes. When I woke up,

Xiao Fan disappeared. I sent men to investigate, too.

Head, even if the First Division dispatch their men to the enemies who kidnapped Official Xian Fan,

it’ll be extremely dangerous. It’s better to hunt and capture along the journey.

Did anyone see what he looked like?

Yes.

Tell me about it.

Back then, Xiao En was Northern Qi's king of spies.

His movements were not set.

We wasted a lot of men on this.

Hearing that his son was about to get married,

Chen Pingping lead an army thousands of miles to capture Xiao En.

I heard about this.

I arrived first at that time.

Xiao En and his father were extremely alert.

I planned to poison his son's wife

to coerce the father and son.

I didn't expect there would be a problem with the rouge.

In this battle, the Inspection Bureau’s losses were more than 50%.

His wife and child died there.

Chen Pingping broke his legs.

I thought, if I didn't make that mistake,

the situation wouldn't be like this now.

It was still the same.

Would someone like Xiao En, just because his wife was poisoned,

be willing to be captured?

Whether it's the same or not, no one knows now.

I heard you are going to Northern Qi to deliver Xiao En.

Yes. To trade for Yan Bingyun.

Which bastard's idea was this?

Don't go.

It was His Majesty's idea.

I need to take you out and flee from the capital.

Get ready. We are leaving tonight.

Teacher...

Xiao En hates the Inspection and Control Bureau to the bones.

The relationship between Chen Pingping, you, and I can't be hidden.

If you go to Northern Qi, why will you go against Xiao En?

Teacher, I can do it.

Listen to me regarding this.

We are leaving tonight. I'm going to arrange our escape.

No, Old Fei... what about me?

Wait here. We will leave when it's dark.

No... my wife and daughter are in the capital.

What has this to do with me?

Teacher, the Inspection and Control Bureau, and Jinwei will never release me.

Whoever stops us, I will kill him.

Are you going to kill me?

How did you know I would be here?

I have always known.

Fan Xian must not go to Northern Qi.

Do you know the consequences of defying the decree?

If Fan Xian escapes,

he will never be able to gain a foothold in Southern Qing again.

It's better than sending him to die in Northern Qi!

So what? I have been with you

roaming the kingdom. We have never seen our family members and old friends.

I'm old.

I have been with the Investigation and Control Bureau for many years.

I have seen many people die.

I can't see him end up this way, too!

To add further, when I'm dead,

there will always be someone to bury me.

Fan Xian doesn't have anyone. I can't find someone else.

If there's only one person left in the kingdom,

this person must be Fan Xian.

Why are you letting him deliver Xiao En to Northern Qi then?

Do you know? When he comes back this time,

the future of Jingdu will be in his hands.

It's very dangerous, Head.

When have there been no dangers in life?

If he lives under my shadow, it will destroy him.

Don't worry. I will definitely ensure his safety!

Stand up. Stand up now and I will believe you!

That year, it was because of me...

I couldn't ensure your safety!

Lord!

Teacher, I'm willing to go to Northern Qi.

Li Yunrui betrayed Yan Bingyun just to fight with me.

This is because of me. I need to bring him back.

It's so beautiful.

Didn't you say you have something important to tell me?

Why are you not saying anything?

I'm going to Northern Qi.

I know.

Frankly, I don't want to go.

Don't go then.

So what if we disappoint the grace of His Majesty?

I will go back to Danzhou with you.

If I don't go to Northern Qi,

I fear the marriage agreement won't exist.

Is this His Majesty's idea?

Who else can it be?

If there's no marriage agreement, we can elope.

I saved money for a house.

If we reduce our expenses, we can live for a lifetime.

Even if the Investigation and Control Bureau come after us...

Why don't we do this?

Let's set out to sea,

take a big boat and sail far away.

We will go wherever it is

until no one can find us.

Sail on a boat to a great distance and never to return home. Aren't you afraid?

With you around, you will protect me.

You are too adorable. I can't help myself.

I'm being serious.

If you were to elope,

many people would mock you.

- I don't care.
- I care.

Wait for me to return.

Wait for me to return from Northern Qi. We will get married.

Because of me, I don't want you

to force yourself to do things that you are unwilling to do.

You are not forcing me.

Thinking about when we will be getting married when I'm back, I'm anxious to leave now.

Aren't you afraid someone will see?

I'm not afraid. I have already sent them away.

Sent them away?

Sure enough, you have bad intentions.

I'm leaving soon. Just take it that you are giving me a farewell...

Wait. Stand properly.

Place your hands behind your back. Don't move.

Agree on three rules.

In Northern Qi, do not get entangled with anyone.

Other than you, no one wants me.

What if someone wants you?

Other than you, I don't want anyone else.

I couldn't hold back, either.

Why are you laughing?

I didn't laugh at all.

I can't hold it any longer. Return another kiss.

Wasn't it three agreements?

What are the other two?

I haven't thought of them yet.

It's not urgent. Take your time to think.

What are you doing?

I miss you.

You haven't left yet.

I'm starting to miss you before I even leave.

You can miss me. Don't move your mouth.

Fine. I will listen to you.

Listen seriously to me.

On your diplomatic mission to Northern Qi,

you must come back alive.

I will hold a cherry blossom

and wait here for you.

Xie Bi'an, not only is this a good sword, but it's also one which scares others.

Let him come here.

Did you send Wan'er back?

I don't remember there being a pavilion here before.

It was just set up.

Be careful.

The foundations weren't built. It will be disassembled after I finish drinking.

It's just for drinking wine?

I was waiting here for you.

You can't let me sit on the road,

so I set up a pavilion beforehand.

Why are you looking at me?

As a prince, it wouldn't be honest work

if I wasn't arrogant and extravagant.

This makes sense.

Let me give you a toast first.

Great wine.

Is it really that great?

WIth the support of this view, all wine is good wine.

When do you leave?

In a few days.

When you are back, your prestige and popularity will increase a lot.

The spring examination will start again.

I'll request again

for you to be the exam proctor.

I didn't do any merits.

God of Poetry Xiao Fan is already good enough.

Once you have organized the spring examination,

you'll be the teacher of this batch of students.

The advantages of this are hard to put into words.

Just experience it slowly.

It's just that, I wonder... If it's such a good thing,

why did you choose me?

I get along with you and we can drink together.

Even if you eventually choose to join the crown prince,

it won't harm our friendship, too.

Your Highness has the boldness of vision.

There are plenty of mediocre people in this world

but those who can talk about everything under the sun,

there are only a few. I read your poems.

"Peking is full of nobles.

Only this person is alone and stunned."

It seems rather true.

This journey to the north will have many inclines.

The guard at Fengming outpost is under me.

If you pass there, let him escort and protect you.

Thank you, Your Highness,

but we won't be passing through there on our way to the north.

The journey is too far.

Never mind then. I drank the wine and have also seen the person off.

Today's interesting mood has ended. I will wait for your return.

Goodbye.

[Elegant Pavilion]

When you set off today and whatever road you choose,

don't tell anyone.

Just make your own decision.

I understand.

Teacher's drug use is more and more profound.

Newly invented.

Smash it at a critical time.

It won't take a life, neither will it cause physical harm.

But even a grandmaster will be dizzy for a while.

Thank you, Teacher.

No need. Just show off less.
