Episode 25

We should leave.

Be good. Come on.

Here comes another one.

This is Prince Zhao’s Mansion,

not some farmer’s market.

Leave now!

Prince Zhao!

- Prince, it’s me, Xiaoqin. - Leave! Go!

Prince Zhao’s Mansion - Prince! - Get out

Xiaoqin.

Wu Lin.

Back off!

It’s you.

I need to speak to Prince Zhao.

How did you...

Do you know where Master is?

I... I don’t.

Please let me see Prince Zhao

so that I can ask him in person.

His Highness isn’t home at the moment.

Miss,

Master says to keep Long Aoyi’s injury

and her whereabouts a secret.

They’ve followed us here.

It’s only a matter of time before Prince Zhao knows.

What if Prince Jun finds her

and takes her back?

At this stage,

Qingliu and I are officially engaged.

Nothing can change that.

However capable Long Aoyi is,

she has no chance

to steal my spot.

I don’t care why

she’s staying at a man’s mansion.

Once Qingliu learns of that,

what will he think?

Liar!

If he isn’t inside,

what’s Du Xiaoxian doing here?

She...

Xiaoqin,

please don’t make it hard for me.

Our mansion

isn’t open to everyone.

It’s open to Du Xiaoxian,

why not me?

Hold on!

- Xiaoqin. Stop... - Prince Zhao!

Prince Zhao!

Your Highness.

What brings you to Chang’an?

Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?

I knew you’re home.

Is my master inside?

Miss Long?

Shouldn’t she be with you?

I heard from Du Xiaoxian

that she’s in your mansion.

People in Longzhu Gang

have eyes and ears everywhere.

Yan Bin, Xiaoqin has no manners,

and neither do you?

I’m here to find my master.

It’s none of your business.

Enough. Stop.

Miss Du had told me

about Miss Long’s missing.

But she isn’t here.

You should leave.

If you

insist on making a scene,

that’d be

disrespectful to me.

Wu Lin, see them out.

Yes.

You’d better take your leave.

Prince Jun’s Mansion

Your Highness, Long Aoyi is in Prince Zhao’s Mansion.

Prince Zhao’s Mansion

What brings you here this late, Brother?

Is it urgent?

I’m sorry for disrupting you.

I’m here

to ask you for a favor.

If it’s not life-and-death,

just wait till tomorrow at court.

I know Long Aoyi is here.

Let me take one look, then I’ll leave.

You came to the wrong place.

She isn’t under my roof.

Save your lies.

I’ve asked around.

The carter said

you took in

an injured girl.

Yes.

A wounded maid,

but not Long Aoyi.

Prince Zhao’s Mansion You’d better leave,

or things will become ugly.

Besides,

if you have feelings for Long Aoyi,

why did you

get engaged with Du Xiaoxian?

Having one woman isn’t enough,

and you want more?

Aren’t you a player?

That’s between Long Aoyi and me.

There’s a misunderstanding.

I’ll explain

everything to her in person.

A misunderstanding?

About what exactly?

Let’s say

Long Aoyi is inside,

and you, an engaged man,

meet her in private,

don’t you know that will

ruin her and your fiancée’s reputation?

This box of ginseng from the northeast

can help heal the wound.

I have

plenty of that.

If there’s nothing else,

you should leave. Take care.

Prince Zhao’s Mansion

How is she, Physician Qin?

Your Highness,

I’m afraid she’s still burning up.

Why isn’t she getting better?

Don’t worry too much.

She’s too weak

to battle fever.

Physician Qin,

please cure her at all costs.

I will.

Qingliu.

Qingliu.

You’re awake.

You had another fever last night.

Do you feel better?

Your Highness,

obviously, Prince Zhao

intends to keep you from Miss Long.

You’ve stayed up all night.

Why don’t you go back?

If anything happens here,

I’ll let you know immediately.

I can’t leave.

Her condition is still unclear.

I must stay.

Now that her fever is gone,

soon,

she’ll gain full recovery

with enough rest.

Thank you, Physician Qin.

Here’s a little something for you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Well,

I do have another request.

What is it?

While she was unconscious,

the names she mumbled

meant nothing.

So Physician Qin...

I understand.

I’m too old

to remember everything

she said.

That’s good.

Have a nice day then.

Thanks, Your Highness.

Your Highness, someone came out.

Let me ask him.

Physician Qin,

how’s the patient inside?

Manager Yan.

The patient is fine.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Skip the formalities.

I just want to know

about the patient’s condition.

She’s stable

and has been out of the coma.

Has she said anything?

That I don’t know.

Your Highness,

I’m needed elsewhere.

Please excuse me.

Thank you.

Your Highness, we’re running out of time.

Don’t be late

for Consort Dowager’s summon.

You should go.

I’ll stake this place out.

Head to the palace.

Seeing you getting better and better,

I’m relieved.

Here in this city,

only you and Second Master are my friends.

While he was in the palace and hard to be reached,

it was you who saved my life.

I could never repay you

for that.

Don’t mention it.

I expect nothing in return.

You’re my lifetime friend.

Just a friend?

Sorry, that came out wrong.

You reminded me of my mentor.

Aoyi,

soon after you woke up,

you said those who attacked you

killed Feng.

And you mentioned the Buyu Pavilion.

What makes you say that?

Their skills, figures

and voices match those

of the previous killers.

Still, I couldn’t figure out their motives.

During my mentor’s stay at the Wuyun Pavilion,

he could be mean and annoying,

but not so as to be killed.

I’ve made tons of enemies

but few people knew I came here.

Why did you rush to

the gambling house soon after you arrived?

That jade concerns the imperial family.

He can’t know about it.

My hands got itchy,

so I went there to play.

Once you recover, we can go there together.

So

what’s your plan next?

I’m here for clues.

But given the situation,

I’m way outnumbered.

Maybe I should ask my men to come over

to watch my back.

I had sent messages to Silver City

before Xiaoqin was found.

Right now,

they’re probably at the city gate.

Really?

There’s more good news.

I’ve asked Xiaoqin to come here.

Master!

Slowly.

Master! Master!

You look haggard.

There, there, silly.

I’m fine.

You’re bony.

Don’t cry.

Stop!

Officers,

inside is Prince Jun.

No one is allowed to enter.

Stop!

General Lyu.

Put your swords back.

Yes.

South Court Guarding Commander, Lyu Chengyun,

pays respects to Prince Jun.

This is a routine check. I apologize

if I offend you, Your Highness.

Where exactly

are you rushing to?

I’m summoned by Consort Dowager.

Consort Dowager?

I’m afraid you took the wrong path.

We were unfamiliar with the routes

and wasted too much time on the wrong turns,

so we took this shortcut

to go to Consort Dowager’s chamber.

I can be of help.

I know a direct path

that leads to her chamber.

You can follow me.

Appreciated.

Master, that was close.

You were near death.

Even the physician said

you were in critical condition.

Alright.

You must be tired, too.

Get some rest.

I’d like to take a nap, too.

Go ahead. I’m right here with you.

I was only away for a second

and almost lost you forever.

I won’t leave you ever again.

If you’re with me, what about Yan Bin?

How come you’re still in the mood to joke?

Alright. I’m sorry.

Finish this before going to bed.

Small! Small!

Big! Big! Big!

Small! Small! Small! Small!

Small!

Small!

Small again!

I wish Miss Long was here.

We haven’t won once,

but kept giving money away.

Be quiet!

Come on.

Small! Small! Small!

Small! Small! Small!

I knew something is wrong.

It’s impossible to lose all the time.

Hey, we don’t cheat.

You’re simply bad at it.

That’s right.

Is that how

you talk to your father?

Eat my fist, you brats!

Stop!

You, that nerd,

come here.

Your Highness.

I got it.

Gamble

Who are you? Surnamed what?

The same as you.

Stop pulling pranks on me,

or I’ll tell Father.

Fine, you won’t get away with it either.

So what are you doing here?

I should ask you that.

Why did you break the rules

and came to the gambling house again?

Well...

you must keep this a secret.

I will

only if you agree

to answer my questions.

Are you bargaining with me?

Fine. Go ahead.

Do you remember Long Aoyi,

the girl

who beat you in the game

a few days back?

She’s cunning.

I remember her.

She was looking for something.

That was the last time I saw her.

She left here

and almost got killed that day.

She’s been at my place for recovery.

I came today

for information.

Really?

Who wanted her dead?

Desperate gamblers who lost to her?

No way.

I’m telling you,

no one would dare to stir up trouble at my place.

Are you sure

it had nothing to do with you or your men?

You think so little of me.

Just because I lost

doesn’t mean I wanted her gone.

But wait,

what’s going on between you two?

We’re just friends.

We met in Silver City.

Just friends?

Is that so? Be honest with me.

Otherwise,

I won’t say any word.

I like her.

Then...

does she like you back?

Someone else also has a thing for her.

Do you mean Prince Jun?

How did you know?

You two are in love with the same girl.

She and Li Qingliu

were business partners back in Silver City,

so they’re close.

But I also have a shot to win.

Forget about him as he just got engaged.

You’re a prince,

while she’s a commoner.

Are you aware of the consequence?

The worst case is to get kicked out of the family.

You’ll be kicked for sure,

but

you won’t get out of

the Court of the Imperial Clan for the rest of your life.

If she circles

between you two,

no one will blame you

because you’re a prince.

But what about her?

They can easily find an excuse

to get rid of her.

I’ve thought about that,

but I can’t control my feelings.

At first, I thought she was special and fun.

But knowing that she got wounded,

I was as painful as her.

Look, if you truly like her,

it’s best to let her go

instead of

getting her into trouble.

Your Highness,

go straight and turn right,

then you’ll see Consort Dowager’s chamber.

I’m still on duty,

so I can’t escort you further.

Thank you, General.

By the way,

what’s that heavily guarded place?

It’s off-limits

said by His Majesty.

Empress’s coffin is placed inside.

Guards will stop everyone

passing by that area.

Empress who?

Former Noble Consort Dugu.

Two years ago, after she passed away,

His Majesty conferred the title on her.

His Majesty adored her,

so he kept her coffin in the palace

under tight security.

Oh,

I have another question.

Do you know

my mother had any friends

in the palace before she passed away?

Actually,

the late empress

was Concubine Cui’s closest friend.

Good day, Your Highness.

Thank you.

Your Highness,

these are pearls from Persia.

Your Highness, Prince Jun requests a meeting.

Prince Jun?

My grandson? Go.

Send him in.

My respects to you, Grandmother.

Rise. Get up.

Come here. Come over.

Let me have a closer look.

What a handsome boy!

Just like the younger version of your father.

You’ve suffered so much over the years.

Thank you for your concern.

Good boy.

Come here. Sit next to me.

Let me have a good look at you.

And you are...

My name is Xiaoxian.

Yes, right.

She said

your father had betrothed her to you.

Yes, Grandmother.

When he was old enough to marry,

he was reluctant to be with

the woman his father betrothed.

And what now?

He’s following in his father’s footsteps.

If you aren’t happy with his arrangement,

just let me know.

I’ll take your side.

Xiaoxian is lovely and kind.

I’m sure she’ll be a good wife.

Women in the harem, high and low,

all seem that way.

“Similar to flowers or fog but not,

they arrive at night and disappear at dawn.”

Is that Shengping?

My respects to you, Grandmother.

Look at you.

You’re a showoff

even after getting married.

I know you hate to be alone.

Here I am with a plant

to perfume the air

in the chamber.

That’s right.

Every time you come,

the whole place will carry

a pleasant aroma for days.

What is it that you’re carrying?

It’s new in the city,

a Potted Tree.

I came to bring you this

the minute I got it.

I like the name.

Put it over there

so that I can see it every day.

Come here.

Qingliu,

this is your elder sister,

Princess Shengping.

That’s unnecessary.

She’s spoiled,

and a well-known troublemaker in the palace.

And, of course,

she’s the apple of my eye.

Grandmother, we just met.

You’re making him scared.

You’re a delight.

I enjoy being around you.

I heard you excelled at Sichuan Embroidery.

If it’s not too much trouble,

could you make me a dress

of that particular style?

He’s already a prince,

not an embroiderer you can hire.

If you trust my skills,

I can have a try.

Qingliu,

just relax when you talk to me.

Put those trivial formalities

and boring rules behind.

Said so by the troublemaker.

Alright. We’ve had enough fun.

My lunch is too bland

to your taste, so I won’t make you stay.

You may leave.

It’s Xiaoxian.

Xiaoxian.

Qingliu,

I expect you and Xiaoxian

to visit me regularly.

Yes, Grandmother. We will.

Hold on, sister.

What’s wrong?

I’m new here.

Rules in the palace

are strange to me.

I hope you can teach me.

No problem.

I meant to ask you about a few

past events happened in the palace.

I grew up motherless and I miss her,

so I’d like to know more

about her.

I was too young

to remember everything.

And I seldom heard things about her.

I see.

While I was on my way to Grandmother’s place,

I got lost and almost

broke into Noble Consort Dugu’s burial hall.

That was embarrassing.

Well, I was told

she was

my mother’s closest friend.

That’s true.

So I’ve heard.

Father loved her so much.

How come she passed away so young?

I’ll pretend

you didn’t ask me that.

Do not

bring it up to others ever again.

Let bygones be bygones.

Don’t rake up the past easily.

Or both you and others will get hurt.

Understand?

Thanks for telling me.

North Gate

- Your Highness. - How did it go?

Have you got any news

from Prince Zhao’s Mansion?

I was there the entire day

but found nothing from those coming out.

Let’s go back.

Your Highness,

are you giving up

getting her out?

Right now,

that’s the safest place.

You knew

Prince Zhao has a thing for her.

Back in Silver City,

he was all over her.

If you don’t take action soon,

he might win her over.

Whatever concerns you have,

if I were you,

I’d get her back.

I’m new to the city

without any connections,

and still getting used to

my unexpected title.

While at court,

everything remains unknown.

I don’t have what it takes

to be with her.

She was already wounded once.

Being with me

would be more dangerous.

At least,

her safety is guaranteed

in Prince Zhao’s Mansion.

What if they get together...

I care more

about her well-being than my feelings.

I understand that.

But still...

You’re up. Hey.

Look what I brought for you to eat.

Pork hock!

Careful.

Aren’t you craving for this even in your dream?

Try it and see if it tastes the same.

I didn’t know

they’d serve this in Chang’an.

Does it taste as good?

More than good.

This hock

takes me back to Silver City.

I bet.

It was cooked according to

the secret recipe of Kaitai Restaurant there.

That explains it.

My palate is good as new.

Did you invite those chefs over?

Actually,

some of them

are my old acquaintances.

I’d like to have a word with them.

They’ve left.

Without them,

the restaurant can’t open for business.

Then who cooked this?

I did, of course.

I asked them to teach me

so that I could cook it for you.

That way, whenever

you’re craving for home cuisine,

I can satisfy you.

Xiaozhao...

I know you still can’t let go of the past,

but Li Qingliu…

That’s enough!

Li Qingliu and I

are over.

I don’t want to talk about it.

I...

Master! Master! Master!

It’s confirmed.

All of them have arrived.

All of them?

Skinny, Gengzi and Fatty.

Where are they?

At Chang’an Inn.

They’ll come and meet us tomorrow morning.

Did you forget the physician’s advice?

You need bed rest.

Young Master has also come.

He’s brought his men along

to help with

our new business in the city.

That’s so thoughtful of him.

Xiaoqin,

bring him some silver

as a thank you gift.

Sure.

Come and help me up.

I need to exercise

to recover sooner.

Xishi Market

Pendants!

Make it cheaper and I’ll buy it.

Feather dusters!

Sachets and pendants!

Take a look.

Not interested.

Is that blondie

from Arabia?

I suppose.

Is that the only foreign country you know?

Merchants from all neighboring countries

gather in the city.

Not all of them

are Arabs.

Watch it. Don’t make a fool of yourself.

Fine. Once we find Master,

I’ll sleep for three days and nights

to recover from this exhausting trip.

Check out this mansion.

It’s decorated with gold flakes,

similar to those

of the rich in Silver City.

You ignorant.

The noble such as Prince Zhao

never show off their wealth,

unlike those local moneybags.

Don’t touch it. You can’t afford the repair.

Follow me.

He... He...

What’s that attitude?

Yes. So arrogant.

Stop complaining.

We’re in a prince’s mansion after all.

Let’s go.

It sucks.

Slowly.

Are you alright?

Is it hurting again?

Come and have a seat.

Master.

Who are you?

Shouldn’t you greet me on your knees?

Master.

We heard you were injured.

How are you feeling now?

Master,

you can talk to us in bed.

Yes, that’s right.

Don’t worry. I’m fine. Have a seat.

Let her sit.

I’ve

almost recovered.

Prince Zhao didn’t tell me

about your arrival until earlier.

Now that you’re here,

we need plans to

put down roots here.

Master,

you were attacked soon after you arrived.

I don’t think

we’re welcome here.

Why don’t we go back?

We’ll all follow you,

and we can join hands with Master Weng

to lead a comfortable life easily.

Master Long,

before I came,

leader told me

Chang’an and Luoyang

aren’t for outsiders.

If we wish to gain a foothold here,

we have to deal with court officials

and business giants.

Their game

is too complicated

for us to play.

I agree. First, it was Feng,

and then you.

Clearly, someone is seeing us as an eyesore,

all of us.

As long as the mastermind is still out there,

there isn’t a safe place

for us to settle down.

Rest assured.

I’ll avenge my mentor’s murder,

but not now.

I’ve decided to stay here for a while.

Is the murderer hiding in Chang’an?

What do you think?

We’ve never left Silver City before.

Who would want us dead?

While we try to find the killer,

we can’t hole up in the dark

like rats.

You know the saying

to hit someone when he’s down.

We must prove that we have nothing to fear

before capturing the assailant.

Well put!

I love your tenacity.

Prince Zhao.

Prince Zhao.

Make yourselves at home.

You can sit back.

Your Highness,

we left in haste

for this long journey

and only brought with us liquor made this year.

Thank you.

You know,

liquor I had here isn’t strong enough.

That’s true.

What I had in Silver City is my favorite.

It’d be perfect

to drink it with pork hock and roasted chicken.

Sadly, Feng...

I lost someone to drink with.

But I promise you

I’ll work with you

to find the killer.

By the way,

Prince Zhao has recommended

a few stores for rent.

You can check them out.

It’s time to rebuild our business.

Tell me which one you prefer.

I’ll pay the rent.

I can’t let you do that.

We have enough money.

Even if we don’t,

we cannot

take advantage of you.

I’m willing

to help you as much as I can.

What about Master Li?

From now on,

he and I

will be on separate paths.

Tianxian Restaurant

Your Highness, are you saying

Master Long was attacked

after arriving in the city?

I don’t know about the details.

That’s why I hope

you can fill me in.

Such as

conflicts between local gangs.

Not that I’ve heard of.

Because of the long-standing curfew,

criminal cases are few.

I didn’t receive

any tip-off lately.

It’s my fault.

Master Long did come to me

but I didn’t pay attention

and failed to protect her.

It’s not your fault.

If it’s not the gangs,

who would target her?

You can count on me.

I’ll get to the bottom of it.

How is she now?

She’s resting at Prince Zhao’s Mansion.

Prince Zhao’s?

I... I mean

Aren’t you two...

That mansion is heavily guarded.

And I already got engaged.

It’s better for her

to stay there for now.

Dongshi Market

Who the hell are you?

We... we need to buy something.

No, we simply passed by.

Hello, gentlemen.

You can go in.

Go ahead.

Just go!

How can I help you?

We’re opening tomorrow

with special offers.

Can I interest you in anything?

No, thanks. That won’t be necessary.

Well,

a Miss Long told me

this store supplies cheap ingredients,

so we came to have a look.

Yes.

That’s right.

Fatty, take our guests

to warehouse No.2

to check the stocks.

Let’s go.

Go ahead.

Go with him.

Go.

Sir,

have a seat.

Please.

I’m needed in the store,

so I shall take my leave.

Hold your horses.

Master has asked us

to take good care of you.

It’s true

they’re ingredients from the south

in full amount.

Yes.

And the price is lower than half the cost on the market.

Many thanks to Master Long.

- That’s so generous of her. - Thank you.

Let’s go.
