Original subtitles

You cried before you opened the door, right?

One of your friends died?

Who died?

My dad is seriously ill.

He stinks with alcohol.

I don't think he is seriously ill.

Just because he is seriously ill and drinks alcohol.

I'm worried about him.

It makes sense.

Stop.

Your Grace.

Go backwards.

Two steps.

Really.

What?

People tell me the imperial guards are so robust and sturdy.

They are the elite.

It's true.

Woman of taste.

You don't need to give us the money.

Go.

What is your surname?

Sun.

I want to invite you to tea tomorrow.

The tea house by Qinhuai River.

Don't be late.

Good though.

My dad is seriously ill.

We are busy in the shop.

I am afraid I won't have the time.

Miss.

I saw that crossbow.

Tomorrow the tea house by Qinhuai river.

Don't forget.

I will wait for you.

Come.

You can't say I shortchange you.

What is it?

You are nearly 16 right?

You are supposed to have a baby out of the palace.

Not funny.

Don't go.

Full of nonsense.

If my aunt knows, she will have you whipped.

I'm not afraid, why are you afraid of?

If you want to grow old alone,

you should go to Nansansuo and have a look.

If you still don't change your mind, I will go.

Then we should end our conversation at once.

It's your turn.

Come, 50,000.

50,000.

50,000, I am in.

No. I am wrong.

You can't take it back.

Ok, not a big deal.

Go ahead.

80,000.

What?

Tonight, Jinbao will caress you.

Caress?

I think she will tickle you.

Come, 50,000

It's your turn.

60,000.

What are you doing? You scared me.

What are you doing?

Nothing to see here.

Bloody peeping.

Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang slept me twice.

How about you?

Who?

Lady Hu's girl.

Hu Shanxiang.

She got promotion recently.

I need to teach her a lesson.

The emperor is back in the palace.

Hear me out.

The emperor has bad quality sleep.

You need to wrap your feet with cloth in front of the emperor.

Is the laundry maid here?

Yes.

The emperor is a valorous warrior.

He wears armor with cotton linen robe in.

So we don't need the rough cloth.

The clothes should be as soft as your skin, understand?

Yes.

You can't gossip in the palace.

If you gossip or make some rumors,

I can't protect any one of you.

Have you understood?

Yes.

All right.

Go back to work.

Yes.

Aunt.

Are you all right?

I walked by Nansansuo.

The old women scared me.

They are so fierce.

Do you know who they are?

They were emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's maids.

Another twenty years.

If I am still alive, I will play cards with them.

Political stereotype.

I want to talk about your selfishness.

You are crown prince.

Crown prince is quarrelling with prince Han.

You shouldn't go inside now.

Quarrelling right after they come back.

Why?

I dare not to hear.

Crown prince ordered, no one can go in there.

No one.

Political stereotype.

Political stereotype.

You have no gentlemen in your villain's eyes.

Who is the villain?

Who is a gentleman?

You, I'm talking about you.

Brother.

We are assassinated by the leftover evil

of a campaign of Jingnan right after we come back.

This is the capital crime.

Why don't you investigate it?

I

What do you want?

You want to keep the leftover evil?

You.

You can't talk nonsense like this.

What do I keep?

Emperor Song Gaozong killed Yue Fei.

His grandson proved his innocence after emperor Song Gaozong died.

After daddies, you will be the emperor, and you can do whatever you can.

You keep the leftover evils and adopt the policy of benevolence in the future.

Such a good idea.

You...

You can't say like that.

Uncle.

Come

It's you.

Why do you put on the flying fish suit?

My dad told me to investigate the case with the imperial guards.

So no one will fool me around.

Fool around?

Who will fool you around?

Grandpa's assassination, I am afraid someone will be implicated.

Who is implicated?

All ears.

Flattered.

Actually, I have something to ask you.

Uncle.

As I know, you protected the emperor.

Because your spy told you in advance.

Can I see him?

Rumors.

All the rumors.

We can't trust rumors.

We need to find out the truth.

Otherwise my dad will be scapegoated.

Please give your spy to me.

I need to interrogate him.

You step over the line.

If you think I am inferior, I will tell the emperor.

He will interrogate in person.

Go to investigate your case.

How can you take your uncle as a criminal?

Stop it, stop it, go back.

You.

He is so rude to me.

Who am I in your eyes?

You ignore me.

In other words, you even ignore the emperor?

Brother.

I am a conscientious and dutiful man.

Even father won't be skeptical of me.

I can swear.

I

Here is the imperial edict for crown prince.

Father.

Hurry.

His Majesty.

Ok.

Here is the imperial edict.

I need to see all the memorials and military intelligence since the day I left.

Period.

Yes.

Crown prince.

Don't be alarmed.

His Majesty won't put you in a dilemma.

He just wants to see your achievements and good performance.

The memorials are in state council.

I will lead the way.

No.

We have taken all the memorials.

The emperor told me.

You are in poor health, so you can't run the errands.

And before the emperor finishes the memorials, you need to stay here.

In case the emperor asks you about the state affair at any time.

Brother.

Get up.

Ok.

Uncle left.

Give me a hand.

I'm so tired.

But your grandfather still doesn't believe me.

I don't want to be the crown prince.

He will take my place.

Son.

We should go back to Shuntian.

Back to Shuntian.

Back to Shuntian.

Dad, why I don't know here?

I am Sun Yu, an antique curator.

I need to see sire.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Master, old monk.

Master. [ Yao Guangxiao ]

Sun Yu

Sire.

This is your daughter?

Ruowei is an orphan of the campaign of Jingnan.

When I was poor, I met her father in Xi mountain.

He gave me money and told me to join the army.

And I met him again in the campaign of Jingnan.

And I saved her.

You are so kind.

Such a gentleman.

Thank you for your compliment.

I meant to take her home.

After the campaign of Jingnan, the police gave the intense manhunt.

And the imperial guards are sharp-nosed.

Emperor Jianwen's minister helped us.

So we arrived safely in Fujian.

We lived in Wuyi mountain.

Ruowei grew up with other orphans since childhood.

Last month you told us, nine people, to assist the assassination.

I am sorry that I failed you.

Little girl.

What have you learned in the last decade?

Yes.

I learn some kungfu.

But I am a poor learner.

But he says I have poor health, and tells me to be a doctor.

But I just can't remember the medicine name.

And I can't recognize the acupoints.

I am sorry that I let you down.

Sire.

I hope you don't mind her nonsense.

It's true.

Very well.

She is sincere.

So good.

Little girl.

I reward you something.

My grandpa takes all the memorials and military intelligence

during his royal expedition.

Do you know this?

Yes.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

My dad cried.

He even said he doesn't want to be the crown prince.

He just didn't listen to me.

He went back and wrote the memorial.

Old monk.

Come. I am on my knees.

My grandfather told me to be your student since childhood.

I can ask you whatever I want.

You need to help me this time.

Tell me what I should do.

Sit here.

What's your grandfather biggest concern?

His sons take the throne away.

Your uncle knows the drill.

So.

Your grandfather is skeptical now.

Pug nose said,

My dad can't go out before grandfather finishes the memorials.

It's house arrest.

We have this result despite all the efforts.

So disappointing.

Your uncle is sophisticated.

For this, he resembles the emperor so.

And your dad adopts policy of benevolence.

It makes up for your grandfather's flaw.

So he is just skeptical.

But he won't do anything to your dad.

But.

You need to tell him, be conscientious, and patient.

How's the case going?

The imperial guards accomplish nothing.

But I know one thing.

The assassination is so sensational.

So the assassins have the patron.

Otherwise, so many people and weapons won't enter the city.

I'm glad when I hear this.

Thanks, old monk.

Well.

Another interesting thing.

I'll tell you later.

I'll raise a colossal uproar.

Stop talking nonsense.

No.

It's so obvious.

The assassination is a joke.

Someone wants to sacrifice us.

Think.

Welcome ceremony is so grand.

But no one in the chariot.

It's a trap.

Sire, he doesn't know?

If he knows, why does he tell us to do it?

Enough.

I don't understand.

You need to know.

Who are you? Who are they?

I read few books.

No one can assassinate the emperor since ancient times.

Think it over.

So we can't revenge?

There is no way out for the orphans of the campaign of Jingnan.

I don't believe it.

Stop.

Orphans like you can't escape from the city without sire's protection.

It's no big deal that you die.

What about me?

I help your parents raise you up.

I won't let you die for nothing.

Dad.

I shouldn't have saved you.

Dad.

You should see the imperial guard tomorrow.

Sire needs you to kill him.

Your porridge burnt.

What are you thinking about?

It's not our arrow.

It belongs to the imperial guard.

It's dangerous tomorrow.

I will go on your behalf.

Dad.

I think after we come to the capital, we are at someone's mercy.

We grow up together, now they die for nothing.

The imperial guards' arrows are here.

They have aimed at us for a long time.

If you go on my behalf this time,

What about next time?

It's destined.

The world is so big.

But there is no place for me.

Tomorrow I will go by myself.

If I die, you should run.

Nonsense.

The tea house has three floors.

Usually imperial guards meet on third floor.

They drink tea and wine.

I think he will wait for you there.

You will see our men when you walk from the main entrance.

After the first pot of wine, things will be easy.

This pot is called Zhuanxin pot.

After you turn it like this, it will be poisonous.

People will die when the liquid reaches the throat.

Must he die?

Why?

He shouldn't die?

I am glad to see you again.

Please.

I will be the host today.

We drink with the wind.

Would it be lovely?

Please.

I can't reject your invitation.

I am flattered.

But I still don't know your name.

So I don't know how to call you.

We are just acquaintances. Never mind the names.

Please.

This is Qinhuai river's vintage wine.

Lotus Spring.

I cross the river to pick hibiscus.

The one whom I think of is journeying far away.

To be honest.

I have been to your antique store more than once.

But I didn't see you before.

I just arrive here.

I am here to see my dad.

Where are you from?

I am from Shandong.

Why are you here?

My dad runs the antique store.

My mother died of illness late last year.

So my mom told me to come here.

What does your dad do in the capital?

He opens the antique store.

Of course he is the antique seller.

How do you explain the crossbow?

I grow up with boys.

The martial arts are popular in my hometown.

We like kungfu, archery and wrestling.

My parents are busy outside.

So I am a wild girl.

So I bring the arrows here.

My dad also scolded me.

He threw all the arrows.

But he still missed one on the ground.

I can arrest you with the crossbow.

And interrogate you in imperial prison.

Are not you afraid?

I know I'm in serious trouble.

My dad said

Someone assassinated the emperor.

Your Grace.

If you think I'm suspicious, you can arrest me.

Great.

So eloquent.

Sun Ruowei.

Zoupingnanyi, Shandong.

Birthday is February 12.

Your dad Sun Yu, mom's surname is Li.

I knew this yesterday.

You know all.

Yes.

We need to take the case seriously.

Waiter.

10 jars of Lotus Spring.

I will invite these brothers to wine.

Great.

But I don't believe it.

You are a girl.

You come out and drink wine with a strange man.

Such an adventurer.

I told my dad

I made the trouble.

So I would answer it myself.

Your Grace.

You are perspicacious in investigation.

You will prove my innocence, right?

And I am a girl.

I don't look like a traitor right?

Have a good appetite.

Can I make a bet with you?

What?

You don't dare to jump from here on that boat.

What if I win?

If you win, you need to promise me one thing.

So ridiculous, I need to do something for you after I win.

Hear me out.

Whether I win or not, you need to tell all the truth.

You need to start with a group of people downstairs.

Who?

How could I know?

This is Baoba Zhuanxin Pot.

The poisonous wine in it.

But I don't know how to use it.

Please show it to me.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't believe me, I don't mind it.

Why are you...

Why so much nonsense?

Just kill me.

I don't know the pot.

Ok

I bet, you dare not drink it.

I tried to find out your family background but in vain.

So they cover you up.

But you can't pretend that you don't know the wine.

If you are not guilty, just drink it.

What if I win?

You can't win.

Because you will die.

I

I bet, you won't let me die.

Otherwise, I would have died in an antique store.

I never see a woman like you before.

Why are you on my boat?

Music.

I need a tour on the lake.

Start.

I arranged it.

They are waiting inside.

Took her long enough.

She is not simple.

Minister Hu is here.

Come.

Come, take a look.

Sit down.

Shen Wu, Ma Liu.

What are you looking at?

My sister is Lady Hu's adopted daughter.

She became a female officer when she was a teenager.

You are nothing compared with her.

She will be Lady Hu's successor.

Lucky you today.

Yes.

Lucky.

You can take them two if you like.

From Hebei.

Cleaner in imperial study.

You will have enemies if you take them all.

Ma San, Ma Si.

The nickname Jinfu, Yinfu.

Seignior Yan took them back after the war in Yunnan.

They are loyal and honest.

They are working in the imperial kitchen.

We are the same poor people.

In the future, you can tell me what you want to eat.

Yes, we are the same poor people.

Jin Datou.

I remember you have your lover.

What are you doing here?

I am here to enliven the atmosphere.

And if Miss Hu likes me, I will break up with her.

What is this?

What is this?

I got it from the writing brush. For fun.

Jin Datou

He can make poems in the imperial study.

Back then, it snowed.

He made a poem in front of the emperor.

Which is the best?

The spotted dog has a white spot.

The white dogs are swollen.

Where are you going?

Wait.

Funny.

Why so fast?

They are so ridiculous.

I am so sick of it.

Are you serious?

Pooh.

You look like Lady Hu so now.

We are sisters.

I want to help you.

You want this.

But they are so ridiculous.

I need the mature men.

You like the mature men?

Great.

I win.

I will have a reward right?

What do you want?

Take me somewhere.

Ok.

From today on,

You don't need to work here. [ Reading attendant, Xie Jin]

The emperor comes back.

So I won't check the memorials anymore.

Everyone, thank you.

Thank you for your hard work.

Crown prince.

Thank you.

Crown prince.

Crown prince.

Wait.

Mr. Xie

Thank you for helping me all these days.

I have nothing to repay you.

Please accept this.

I can't reject it.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Xie

You are talented.

I don't think I want to cause you any trouble in the future.

After the emperor isn't angry with me,

you should be the official on the frontier.

For the country's reserve of talents.

You are afraid that the emperor will discrown you?

He takes all the memorials away.

I don't think it's so terrible.

The emperor wants to see your capability.

He is indecisive.

I can do this.

You?

Give the emperor a painting.

Maybe he will change his mind after he sees it.

Jin Rong is old.

But he is honest and reliable.

He protected the emperor in the campaign of Jingnan.

Arrow injuries on chest and legs.

The emperor doesn't allow him to work.

He gives him a small courtyard.

All of them have rewards.

He takes the biggest rewards.

Everyone calls him the second master.

I wouldn't take you here without your identity.

Think it over.

If you hesitate, don't go in there.

I get it.

The master is here?

Sister Xinmei.

My dad is taking a nap.

You should tell her to sit down first.

Come.
