Episode 29

17

Rationality is telling me not to go

18

but I am also curious. What do you think>

19

It depends on you.

20

She also told me to treat you well.

21

I don't really understand.

22

You have such good skills and you still need me to take care of you?

23

She said there's no real vitality in this world.

24

Oh, if she says so then there isn't any.

25

Then what is this? What is this?

26

I don't know.

27

Said that you will give me the truth.

28

In the end, there were more questions.

29

She left more questions.

30

Speak.

31

I think I should forget these.

32

Since I already am here,

33

I will well live here and take care of those around me.

34

Sure. But

35

no one must find out about the trespassing the inner palace.

36

Relax.No one will know.

37

Who is it?

38

Lord, it has been discovered.

39

Come in. What is known?

40

Almost all is known?

41

What is known? Who knows everything? Speak clearly.

42

When I was sending the locksmith out from the city,

43

Head and Lord Shadow blocked me.

44

They even asked me

45

whether you trespassed the inner palace last night.

46

Wang Qinian, is this your trick?

47

I not stupid. Of course not.

48

And then?

49

Lord Shadow gave me this key later.

50

This key.

51

This key...

52

What is special about it?

53

There is nothing special about it.

54

This key is the locksmith's key.

55

- The counterfeit that was done by the locksmith yesterday?

- Absolutely so.

56

Why would their key end up in Yingzi's hands?

57

The locksmith is the Head's man.

58

I really didn't know about it.

59

This locksmith has been well-known in Jingdu for many years. I've also known him for a long time already.

60

He's never mentioned to me that he knows the Head of the bureau.

61

Lord, tell me. In Jingdu,

62

how many people are the eyes and ears of the Head?

63

This is not a key. In this world, there is no kind of key that is like this.

64

There isn't this kind of lock to.

65

That locksmith doesn't know that I broke into the palace at night.

66

My Lord, people aren't idiots.

67

When you weren't home yesterday,

68

there was an incident at the palace and you even went to the locksmith's home dressed in night travel clothes.

69

They are even correct in this.

70

What did Chen Pingping say?

71

He wanted me to relay this message to you.

72

No one will know he left.

73

Do whatever he wants to do.

74

Find the loopholes and fill in the gaps.

75

Tell Fan Xian that he can trust me.

76

He covered such a big thing for you.

77

I think he is trustworthy.

78

The next thing. I want to try by myself.

79

If I can't do it, then I'll ask him to help.

80

The next thing? What else do you want to do?

81

When I went to Guangxin Palace last night, I didn't had enough time to put the counterfeit back.

82

Then. What are you going to do?

83

I have to put it back.

84

I can't let others know my real motive.

85

There was an assassin in the inner palace yesterday.

86

It must be tightly guarded now.

87

How are you going to go in?

88

Find someone who can enter the palace easily.

89

Where is that kind of person?

90

Besides, even if there is

91

why would they help you?

92

Into the palace? Not hard.

93

I grew up in the palace. Going there is like going home.

94

You also need to find a way to get into the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

95

Sure.

96

The Empress Dowager treats me well. I really should visit her.

97

You also have to bring me.

98

Sure, since we are already engaged.

99

We should enter the palace and see the queen dowager.

100

This is not what I mean. I meant you have to bring me in and not let others know it's me.

101

You mean you can't use the identity of Fan Xian to enter the palace?

102

Then what identity?

103

Eunuch.

104

Pretend eunuch. Not a real one.

105

Why do you have to explain that to me?

106

Is that a problem?

107

Nope.

108

Just since you have to pretend to be one.

109

You should at least look like one.

110

I am queen dowager now.

111

Hold me.

112

How can you hold me there?

113

I'm thirsty.

114

Go back.

-What's wrong?

115

How can you walk like that? So loud.

116

Wait. You are an eunuch.

117

Your steps need to be smaller.

118

Eyes have to be looking down.

119

- My Lady, please have tea.

- It's Empress Dowager.

120

Empress Dowager, please have some tea.

121

Kneel.

122

What?

123

Kneel.

- I..

124

Do you want to enter the palace?

125

I was playing with you.

126

Okay. You've learned most of it.

127

Sit.

128

I can help you enter the palace but before that

129

you have to tell me why.

130

I entered the palace yesterday secretly.

131

I also stole something from the queen dowager.

132

This thing is something related to my mother.

133

So no matter what I had to steal it and today I must return it.

134

Such a big thing and you are just going to tell me it?

135

I promised you.

136

I won't lie to you.

137

What an honest Divine Poet Fan Xian.

138

Once Jinfeng and Yulu meet,

139

they win, and there are countless people on earth.

140

You wrote this?

141

Yes.

142

When you were chanting the poem, who did you meet?

143

You.

144

"All emotions became the past held only in remembrance. What could not be would never be, forever gone are the old times".

145

If it's remembrance, why is there frustration again?

146

It's also you.

147

I couldn't see you then, so I missed you.

148

"Holding hands, we look into each other's teary eyes.

Yet unable to utter words, on emotions we choke.".

149

And whose hand is it referring to and crying at?

150

It's still you.

151

It's all me?

152

Really>

Yes.

153

There seems to be another one.

154

There's another one.

155

"Ten years of life and death". Is this written for me too?

156

Seems like I died a long time ago.

157

This one I wrote to my mom.

158

There are more guards than usual.

159

You haven't heard. There was an assassin last night.

160

Was he caught?

161

He ran away.

162

He was having date with Princess Royal's servant.

163

The cold one.

164

Yes.

165

She's not young anymore.

166

Yes, it was an encounter of an infatuated person.

167

Secret date. What a love story.

168

An infatuated person?

169

Can this be trusted?

170

Who knows?

171

Wan'er.

172

Greetings, Imperial Consort.

173

I heard there was a theft yesterday night.

174

He made so many poems at Qinian Palace last night.

175

Everyone now knows that there is a renowned poet in the Southern Qing.

176

The first time I saw him, I really liked him.

177

I thought he was just smart.

178

I didn't know he was talented too.

179

He really is a perfect match for our Wan'er.

180

Concubine.

181

Where are you going? Are you feeling better?

182

Thank you for your care.

183

I am entering the palace

184

to see queen dowager.

185

What a coincidence? I am too going there.

186

Let's go together.

187

Sure.

188

Wan'er greets Empress Dowager.

189

Please rise.

190

You are unwell. No need to kneel.

191

Reporting to Empress Dowager,

192

After medication, I am already almost well.

193

I still don't want you to kneel down.

194

Here, here.

195

Why did you come to the palace today?

196

I haven't seen you for a long time. I've missed you.

197

You also brought so many people.

198

I know you know sweets

199

so I made some desserts for you to try.

200

I heard that there are fleas recently.

201

So I brought some incense.

202

To get rid of the fleas.

203

No money and treasures

204

won't be able to buy your filial piety. Fine.

205

Take them all.

206

Why isn't Eunuch Hong here?

207

Yesterday, there was a theft.

208

I left him to help majesty.

209

The weather is nice today. Why don't I take you to the back of the garden to appreciate the flowers?

210

Have them use herbs to get rid of the insects.

211

Sure. Let's go.

212

Sure. Let's go.

213

Today, I will be with you.

214

Walk slowly.

215

Breath in some fresh air.

216

It's good for the body.

217

Eat more meet and open the windows. They are good for the body too.

218

Right?

-Yes.

219

The weather is good. Let's have a walk.

220

Your Highness. The message has been relayed. Northern Qi's diplomatic entourage is preparing to leave.

221

You are still thinking about the theft?

222

For what reason did they enter the palace.

223

It is not to see you.

224

I just think there is something weird.

225

He's definitely from Dongyi City.

226

Eunuch Hong and that person fought and he recognized the sword technique is from Si Gu Jiang.

227

Really?

228

When Eunuch Hong went after him last night,

229

he fought with him several times. It probably can't be wrong.

230

- Fought several times?

- Yes.

231

- Went after him till it's out from the palace?

- Yes.

232

What time is this?

233

Eunuch Hou said he met the assassin at 12 AM.

234

And he got lured away?

235

Yes.

236

When did you realize there was a theft?

237

It was passed at 2 AM.

238

Eunuch Hou was lured away at 12 AM.

239

The second theft should've entered the palace.

240

If it is really to kill me, then

241

why did he show up after 2?

242

Then within this hour, what did he go do?

243

Coming here is just on the way. The theft must have some other motive.

244

What would that motive be?

245

Xiao Yi.

246

In the palace, spread this message.

247

Let them check to see if they are missing anything

248

or perhaps, if there are anything abnormal.

249

Yes.

250

Wait.

251

They may not listen to what I am saying.

252

Go to Empress Dowager's place and ask for a command.

253

Understand.

254

Could it be Dongyi City?

255

The truth is about to be unfold.

256

Interesting. I will wait.

257

Smells so nice.

258

You are more beautiful than this flower.

259

Commander Yan.

260

Empress Dowager is taking a walk in the garden. You can look for her there.

261

There are people in there. We are killing the bugs with herbs.

262

I mean in the inside.

263

No.

264

Commander Yan.

265

Commander Yan, there are rules regarding the bed chamber of Empress Dowager.

266

What is Li Yunrui investigating?

267

She worried the assassin might have done something.

268

Relay my message then.

269

Then check every location.

270

Yes.

271

Let's go back. I want to see too.

272

Yes.

273

Slowly.

274

Wait here.

275

You too.

276

She hid someone in the chamber.

277

I heard breathing, but they said there isn't anyone.

278

Male or female.

279

I can't tell.

280

But his breath was long and gentle. He must have good skills.

281

Could it be Eunuch Hong?

282

If it was him, then I should not be able to tell.

283

Yesterday there was a theft.

284

and today queen dowager hiding someone.

285

Isn't is a coincidence.

286

Is it related?

287

This reminds me of what's weird about this.

288

It does seem weird.

289

Xiao Yi.

290

Is Hong Si Siang a Grandmaster?

291

Never see him show his skilled but it is for sure he is stronger than me.

292

You are a Level Nine Master.

293

Hong Sixiang must be the most mysterious Grandmaster.

294

Probably is.

295

A Grandmaster would let go of assasin?

296

What kind of theft dares to do that?

297

Could it be Si Guijan himself?

298

It is a bit weird.

299

What if she is Intentionally tricked away?

300

Intentionally?

301

Why can the theft come and go as pleased?

302

Why he can disappear completely?

303

What the Grandmaster Hong Sixiang would miss it?

304

There is only one answer for that?

305

The two thefts are queen dowagers people.

306

I don't know how to thank you.

307

Write me a poem.

308

Sure.

309

I have to think.

310

You wrote hundreds of them yesterday. Now you have to think?

311

It's different.

312

Those are one that just came to my mind.

313

One the ones I give you, I want to write it myself.

314

Just came into your mid?

315

Just appear. Don't know where they come from.

316

Are you really the God from heaven?

317

You wrote those poems in heaven?

318

Where did that come from?

319

You don't even know?

320

It's all over the city

321

since yesterday.

322

Chapter 54, Section 86.

323

Yi Jiu - Leader of the Eighth Division of the Inspection and Control Bureau of Qing

324

These are good poems.

325

But we couldn't find the references.

326

For example, this one.

327

The water of Yellow River is Heaven sent.

328

What river is the Yellow River?

329

A yellow river?

330

And this one:

331

Save in Mount Wu truer clouds there can hardly be.

332

There are so many mountains in the world.

333

Is Mount Wu a real mountain?

334

Lord, it's actually not hard to understand.

335

Then go ahead and explain it.

336

This Young Master Fan

337

is a God from heaven.

338

Every name, place, and reference we don't know

339

is from heaven.

340

Yellow River must be a river in heaven.

341

Seriously?

342

Do you think normal people

can write so many great poems over one night?

343

Make sense.

344

Look at this one. This is one is also good. Explain it.

345

These poems are all original?

346

We checked the records of the Eighth Division, there are no duplicates.

347

Please give me some time, I'll check with some ancient records.

348

No need.

349

Your Eighth Division should proceed. Try to print the poems soon.

350

Yes.

351

Come back.

352

Slowly.

353

Bureau Head.

354

The word going around is that Fan Xian is a God of Poetry from Heaven.

355

We must be aware of this.

356

The literary world of Qing has always been weak.

357

It's about time for a God of Poetry.

358

I understand.

359

The Eighth Division will secretly help sow the seeds

360

to solidify the God of Poetry title.

361

Go.

362

You are also reading this book?

363

- You're reading it too?

- Good book.

364

On war-torn land streams, flow and mountains stand.

In vernal town grass and weeds are o’ergrown.

365

Grieved o’er the years, flowers make us shed tears.

366

See this one, so good.

367

Young Master Fan

368

really is a God of Poetry.

369

Who dares to write poetry now that this book of poetry is out?

370

Indeed.

371

The coming of this God of Poetry is really a fortune for Qing.

372

To be honest,

373

I once worked with Young Master Fan.

374

At the time, I really felt that Young Poetry God Fan

375

was above the common crowd, and out of the ordinary!

376

- What is this?

- What?

377

Yeah.

378

- Who did this?

- Let me see. Let me see.

379

- It's all over the ground.

- Pick it up.

380

There are even words on it.

381

Look.

382

So many.

383

What is this?

384

- Pick it up and see.

- They're all bits and parts.

385

Who wrote this?

386

Not sure, don't stir up trouble. It's only a piece of paper.

387

Pretend you don't see it.

388

Something big is about to happen.

389

You! Don't bang anymore.

390

Continue reading.

391

Disobeying the rules. Betraying our country.

392

Our great man in Northern Qi

393

was betrayed

394

by the shameless Li Yun Rui.

395

Majesty, the rest is harsher.

396

Where is it from?

397

It's scattered in every corner of Jingdu, almost everyone has seen it.

398

Quite a few people... are starting to believe it.

399

- Who spread them?

- Couldn't find the source.

400

Interesting.

401

They want to use public gossip to force me to death.

402

Other people are not important.

403

The important thing is how His Majesty sees this.

404

Translation and Timing by the Joy of Life Team @ Viki.com

405

It is pretty harsh.

406

Who wrote it?

407

How many people saw it?

408

I'm afraid everyone saw it.

409

Right now everyone is discussing it.

410

They're discussing the relationship between Princess Royal and Zhuang Mohan.

411

How reckless.

412

Your Majesty.

413

The matter of Princess Royal betraying Yan Bingyun... is it true or false?

414

You're asking me?

415

Then what's the use of your Inspection and Control Bureau?

416

Should we investigate it?

417

Now that things are all abuzz, there needs to be a result.

418

Do you want a result?

419

Or the truth?

420

By saying that, I can charge you with disrespect towards a Royal.

421

I accept the punishment.

422

Live or die. Your choice.

423

Leave.

424

Lord Zhu.

425

Have you seen this?

426

Translation and Timing by the Joy of Life Team @ Viki.com

427

Grand Princess is in cahoots with Northern Qi? She's the one who betrayed Bingyun?

428

Where did this come from?

429

The whole city is filled with it.

430

Who spread these?

431

On;;y heaven knows.

432

I'm making it clear first.

433

If my son had his cover blown, I have nothing to say.

434

But if someone within the Imperial Court played dirty,

435

there I won't stand by and do nothing.

436

Why didn't you tell Head of the Bureau?

437

I don't trust him.

438

Not many people knew Bingyun was in Northern Qi.

439

You suspect that it was Head of the Bureau who betrayed Bingyun?

440

He wants to promote Fan Xian.

441

Amongst the young generation,

442

my son is Fan Xian's biggest rival.

443

We shall exchange information.

444

Now that things have blown up, let's see how Li Yunrei will clean it up.

445

Uncle, thank goodness it's you.

446

If it was someone else. They can't possibly do it and not let anyone know.

447

Is this any use?

448

Gossip is a scary thing, UnCLE.

449

Not to mention, all of this is true. Li Yunrui won't hold up under investigation.

450

Do you know what the most brilliant part of this plan is?

451

Do you want to know?

452

No.

453

I promise I won't ask any farther in the future.

454

The best of this method is

455

no one knows ir's done by me.

456

I can just remove myself from the situation and happily watch the show.

457

It's me. Chen Ping Ping.

458

How come you are here?

459

I came to see you.

460

Translation and Timing by the Joy of Life Team @ Viki.com

461

Wuzhu isn't here?

462

Do you need something from me?

463

I have seen this.

464

It's so hard to believe.

465

How can Princess Royal have a private relationship with a guy that old?

466

You did this.

467

There's no evidence, don't go around saying nonsense like that.

468

The evidence is right in your hands.

469

It was all over the city. I had them grab me a few.

470

Verify this.

471

472

The paper was made of Sandalwood.

473

This kind of paper has types of

474

raw, cooked and semi.

475

Chief,

476

this is semi.

477

It's made of Sandalwood mostly.

478

Two layers.

479

Silky pattern.

480

There are also linen besides straw.

481

It's made my Hexi Dao.

482

It's not very high-quality. Not so many people use it in Jingdu.

483

Chief,

484

what's the quantity of this order?

485

The whole city is filled with it.

486

In the whole city, only one place

487

has a lot of stock on this.

488

In Jingdu

489

your Danbo Bookstore is the one that imported these goods.

490

You are the person behind this.

491

You don't have enough money?

492

Why did you buy cheap stuff?

493

Fan Sizhe handled this.

494

This is his type.

495

Amongst the eight divisions of the Inspection and Control Bureau, the one I care about the least is the Eighth Division.

496

Never thought.

497

The Inspection and Control Bureau was founded by your mother.

498

Don't underestimate it.

499

Does a lot of people know this?

500

No. I stopped it.

501

What is written on the paper is it for real?

502

Love is fake. Betrayal is real.

503

How did you know?

- I heard them.

504

You heard it on the day you secretly entered the palace.

505

You want to aim at Princess Royal?

506

She wants to kill me. I can't just sit there.

507

It needs more than rumors. You will need evidence.

508

I was ready for step two.

509

There' a breakpoint.

510

Guo Youzhi.

511

-How did you know?

-I heard what happened at the dinner.

512

I will be here today.

513

I will watch you fall for good.

514

Please forgive my son.

515

Who are you?

516

This is the Director of the Board of Rites Minister of Rituals, Guo Youzhi.

517

You are lying to our king.

518

Your Majesty, please punish him.

519

According to Guo Youzhi,

520

he knew that Zhuang Mohan was about to frame you.

521

Princess Royal must have a middle man to

522

contact Zhuang Mohan.

523

Guo Baokun is not qualified.

524

It must be his father, Guo Youzhi.

525

You thought about it too.

526

I paid attention to your thing.

527

But this is still a guess. I have a method to

528

But it can prove there was connection

between Guo Youzhi and Zhuang Mohan.

529

This disappearance of Zhuang Mohan

right after he arrived.

530

You know this too?

531

Now,

532

we can tell he did meet up with Princess Royal.

533

There must be a person who covered for him.

534

We can look up who visited him that day.

535

Already did.

536

Guo Youzhi is on the list.

537

You probably know what I want to say next.

538

Let me think.

539

These are not enough.

540

We need a witness.

Found one?

541

His driver confessed.

542

That night, there is

543

someone who took him out.

And in the palace, there's

544

someone took him.

545

Did already what needs to be done.

546

The rest, what do you want to do?

547

I should ask you.

548

I want Li Yunrui out of Jingdu.

549

Take a look at it yourself.

550

Director of the Board of Rites Minister of Rituals, Guo Youzhi.

551

Guo Youzhi is one of my people.

552

That day, I did indeed see Zhuang Mohan.

553

You admit your wrong doing?

554

He is a great poet.

555

I have some questions regarding the book I was reading.

556

I invited him over to discuss it.

557

I had nothing to do with Yan Bingyun.

558

Books?

559

Please trust me.

560

What do you have to ask?

561

Let's forget about the books.

562

Harlem cannot interfere with political affairs.

563

Princess Royal contacted Guo Youzhi secretly.

564

It was already a crime.

565

Do you admit it?

566

How could I not if Chief Chen said I did.

567

Then how do we solve this?

568

Guo Youzhi is governance official,

569

he connected with Harlem.

He should be sent to the Ministry of Justice.

570

You can't even protect your own people.

571

The law is law.

572

He deserves it.

573

You are such a Princess.

574

Hurry up!

575

Hurry up!

576

Dad!

577

Dad!

578

Let go through!

579

My dad is the Director of the Board of Rites Minister of Rituals.

You cannot take him.

580

Dad! Dad!

581

How dare you! I am telling the King!

582

Dad!

583

Dad!

584

Let me go!

585

Dad! Dad! Dad!

586

Dad! Let me go!

587

Let me speak to him. I won't make it hard for you guys.

588

Dad! Dad!

589

Let me go!

590

Dad!

591

I'll save you right now.

592

Enough!

593

It's no use. Can't you tell

594

The Royal guard is here too.

595

Still don't understand?

596

This is the King's orders.

597

Why?

598

You asked to come along to Qinian Palace that day.

599

I shouldn't have agreed.

600

It was my fault that I told you about it.

601

In Qinian Place...

602

You said the wrong words.

603

It would be fine he has fallen for good.

604

But he is the God of poem.

605

I know that one day this will happen.

606

I did this to you, father.

607

It's not your fault. It's mine.

608

Son. From today onwards.

609

We are not father and son anymore.

610

Remember, you would do anything you can to

611

Attack me and yell at me.

612

Said I have an evil heart and already can't stand me.

613

Understand?

614

I don't.

615

Only this way you won't get dragged into this.

616

I won't. I won't.

617

I've always yelled at you.

618

But I always expected to see you

619

being a lord and having your family.

620

I wanted to stay by your side.

621

But I can't now.
