♫ The person I love ♫

♫ Close your eyes and leave the love threads in your fingers ♫

♫ The wind blows away your fragrance ♫

♫ You're smiling face is still lingering inside my memories ♫

♫ In a glance, I thought about you and my mind freezes ♫

♫ Sigh! Farewell for now. The ending is still unclear ♫

♫ Our destiny, why must we still listen to Heaven? ♫

[The Blooms at Ruyi Pavilion]

[Episode 13]

From today onward, you'll be Corporal

Well done, well done

Well done!

Little Marquis, you did it at last

Well done, well done

Nong Nong

Yes, Mother?

- Let me see - My lady

This one doesn't look pretty

Try another one

This is better

Here, let's see

Now it's better

Mother, what's going on?

Didn't your father tell you?

Here's the thing

One of his colleague, Lord Yao,

will assume his duty in the capital today

Lord Yao has done your father a great deal of favors

So your father is hosting a banquet today for him and his family

Father didn't tell me anything

Besides, I don't really fit in at this kind of banquet

You do, you absolutely do

Listen, just get yourself ready

Pick a nicer dress for her later

Yes

Come to the hall once you're done. Be a good girl

It doesn't look pretty?

Something's wrong

What's wrong?

Think about it

There is a banquet in our house Father didn't tell Sister

He didn't stop her from going to the art studio either

But he asked for me to attend the banquet

This whole thing just doesn't feel right

Lord Yao, I would like to propose a toast to you

Thank you for watching my back

when we were in Xuan City

Not at all It was you who watched my back [Yao Jun, son of Superintendent Yao]

Likewise Please

When I left Xuan City

Young Master Yao was still a child

It has been years

He has grown to be an outstanding and distinguished man

I'm flattered, Lord Fu

Come, Help yourself, please

Here

Lord Fu, your daughter has turned out beautifully as well [Lady Yao, wife of Superintendent Yao]

Lady Yao, you're too kind

Although she's a girl,

she's very mischievous

She's not as well-behaved as she looks

Is that so? She's lovely

Unlike our Jun'er

He is quiet in front of strangers

I'm really worried about that

Carry on, carry on

Where were we?

[Lord Yao, Superintendent]

[Gathering of Auspice]

Who was that?

Young Lady, you...

I can't hold it anymore Please excuse me

It's fine, it's fine

I say

Lord Yao, Lady Yao please dig in

All right

[Liangpin Snack Store]

Welcome to Liangpin Snack Store

What can I get you, Young Lady?

These dates look fine

They are fine indeed

They are called Ruyi Dates

You may try some, Young Lady

Why is it so sweet and refreshing? They just arrived?

You're a connoisseur, Young Lady

These dates were delivered expeditiously from the north. They just arrived today

I'll have some

Great, Please wait here

[Liangpin Snack Store]

Here you go, Young Lady

Such great taste you have

Once you eat our Ruyi Dates,

you'll meet the man of your dreams soon

Thank you for your auspicious wishes

Well I should get going now

All right then. Take care, Young Lady

May you find the man of your dreams soon

The man of my dreams?

I'd be happy just to get out of blind dates Seriously

I'll take this carriage

Your Highness

Where are you going dressed like this?

Uncle has told me everything

He asked me to meet him at Mount Meng

Are those people coming after you?

It's my family

My father hosted a banquet for his colleague He even brought his son here

It was obviously a set-up

Can I take shelter in your carriage?

Come on

Aren't you afraid of being punished later for running out like this?

I was afraid at first But I'm fine now

I can just say I was abducted by you

You're getting better at throwing other people under the bus

There's no one else here

Let us part here

It's bad enough that you abducted me Now you're leaving me alone

in the middle of nowhere That's even worse of you

Anyone saw it?

Who would know?

To think there's an entrance in such a deserted place like Mount Meng

It's very well-concealed, isn't it?

There are no wheel tracks here

And the entrance is so narrow

It's impossible to transport...

I've fought in wars for years

A scratch is nothing to me

You're bleeding, and you said you're fine?

I've seen it before in the Imperial Guards' barracks

Did you get a good look?

I couldn't see it clearly with all the fog around you

So can you see it clearly now?

I don't want to look

Lan Xiang, where is Rong'er?

I...

I don't know where Young Lady Rong is

Father, calm down

Let me check with Ruyi Pavilion again

She always goes there when she encounters any problems

That's right Go on then

Lan Xiang, come with me

Yes

Thank you

By the way,

I'm sorry for putting you in danger

There's no need to apologise

Who would've thought that Mr Dong would...

Don't you find it strange?

What's strange?

We heard a loud bang before the rocks started to fall

But once we entered the canyon the noise stopped

Could it be because he was out of explosives?

Let's find a way out first

In case something happens again

Looks like this isn't the way out

It seems the only way out is through the narrow entrance

But that entrance has been sealed

Either that

or we grow a pair of wings

Anyone there?

What...What is that?

You know what this is?

It's a gold mine

This is just the surface of the rock

There must be a gold mine inside Mount Meng

These Ruyi Dates are such a blessing

I would've starved to death now if not for them

You're still thinking about the gold mine

Looks like my uncle was right

He said I would understand once I come here

Who would've thought

a gold mine would exist in such a desolate place

But since he found it, why didn't he just excavate it openly?

Why would he do this?

This gold mine belongs to the country

No one is allowed to excavate it without permission

People will do anything for money

No wonder

It's hard to resist such a huge gold mine indeed

Uncle isn't a greedy man

There must be a reason that he did that

Forget it

Let's just think about how to get out of here

Rong'er?

She didn't come here today

Young Lady Xuan, how...

Where else could she have been to?

- Princess of Xihe. - Princess of Xihe.

Save the formality

I'm here to see Duke Su

Are you out here to greet me?

Yes, But His Highness went out today

That's impossible He invited me here

Is he's mad at me for taking

too much time to dress up and coming late?

This is all your fault

But the messenger was late too

[Duke Su's Residence] His Highness has some work to do today

He's not in the residence

Why would he invite you?

I don't care. I'm here now

I have to see him today

Even if he has some work to do,

he will still come home to rest, won't he?

Stop. I assure you here's not in

Very well

Could it be that Duke Su has been tricked by some disreputable girl?

- No. - Your Highness,

stop talking nonsense

His Highness has gone missing

- Little Marquis. .- He's gone missing?

What do you mean by that?

Where is Duke Su? What's going on?

What did you do with him?

Bring me to Duke Su now

Your Highness, we have to keep it discreet

Please come with me

Little Marquis, keep looking

Where has Duke Du gone?

You people...

I have no doubts about Uncle's character

But somehow,

I feel a little uneasy

Just like my master said,

I would be surrounded by enemies once I return to the capital

Why did you come back then?

Aren't you afraid of death?

Death is nothing to fear

I'm more afraid of living dishonourably

Besides, didn't a certain fortune teller tell me

that I would die young?

Don't slander me

I clearly said that you would live a long life

When did I ever say you would die young?

When you were drunk

What a strange man you are

You don't believe me when I'm sober

and chose to believe my drunk talk instead

Why can't you live honourably, and at the same time,

live a safe and long life?

You're too greedy

Greed drives us forward in life

Allow me to enlighten you about your fate

Young Master, you have a unique bone structure and exceptional temperament

You were a deity from heaven

You're destined to do great things in this life

As long as you're careful enough,

you'll stay safe and live long

You were right about one thing though

I'm indeed a jinx

Did I say that when I was drunk?

When I was three years old,

I was adopted by the late empress

After that, mother became seriously ill

She was bedridden

The Imperial Astronomer said I was born to be a jinx

Father sent me to a temple to copy sutras and pray

To pray for mother

But I knocked over a candle holder by accident

All our efforts went down the drain

Father said, since the jinx can't be removed,

maybe he could be used to fight against the enemy in the frontier

Being separated from your mother at the age of three

and being sent to the frontier

must've been rough on you

They were right

I was born to be a jinx

Look at mother

And look at you now

I shouldn't touch anyone

with my hands

Not long after I was born, my father was promoted

Mother was blessed with a son later

Everyone around me are safe and healthy

I even got myself a master

So, am I a lucky star or what?

I'll share my good fortune with you

Master, I got a lead

A man bought a carriage from a family in the east district

Ms. Rong got on the carriage and left the city

Who was that man?

That man dressed plainly, he should be a young man

That's all I got

But we came up with a sketch of the carriage based on the family's description

We might get some new leads with this

Keep searching

Look around Mount Meng and Mount Zhe that located in the suburbs

Noted

Rong'er wouldn't do anything foolish

There must be a reason behind this

But don't let anyone else know about this

Ms Fu, go home first if you trust me

Tell Lord Fu and Lady Fu Rong'er is staying at my place

There's no other way Thank you, Ms Liu

If there is any news, please send a message to Fu Residence immediately

A young man?

Could it be Duke An?

- I'll find him myself. - Don't.

Well? Have you found him?

No

We have no time to lose. I'm going to see the Emperor

I'll ask him to deploy the Imperial Guards I must find out where Duke Su is

Your Highness, listen to me

You can't do this. I'm serious

If anything happens to Duke Su, you won't be able to afford the consequences

What exactly happened to Duke Su? Why can't we let the Emperor know?

Where is Duke Su?

His Highness hasn't returned yet?

Aren't you supposed to supervise the Imperial Guards today?

His Highness said he will return by sunset

If he doesn't, I should check the candle holder on his study desk

There is a map It will show us where he is

Let's go now

[Liangpin Snack Store]

Aren't you injured?

I'm fine

Let's share it

When the moon is fully risen, I'll wake you up

Remember to wake me up then

Why didn't you wake me up?

You were sleeping so soundly

I decided not to wake you up

Are you lying to me?

Your Highness, are you in there?

Don't come in Just wait for me outside

Duke Su

Duke Su, I was so scared

If anything happens to you,how could I live?

What are you doing here?

What's going on?

What happened?

Rong'er

Sister

Rong'er

Sister

Sister

- Master. .- Rong'er.

What were you thinking?

Staying out all night in a desolate place like this

What happened?

I would like to know too. You never cease to amaze, Ms Rong.

Your engagement with the Xindus fell through And you're now looking for a new target

Spending the night with a man. Is this how your family taught you to behave?

I...

Princess of Xihe

Princess of Xihe, don't you think you're being a little harsh?

It's none of your business

- You... - I'm impressed, Ms. Fu.

You even got Little Marquis to fall for you

Do you really think standing up for a woman means having a relationship with her?

- So next time, if I stand up for you, does that mean... - How dare you.

Wu Bai Qi

Did you see that? Shut up

You've been hostile towards me from the moment you saw me

I'm not obliged to report to you my relationship with His Highness

What do you mean by that?

Duke Su would never have anything to do with you Stop talking nonsense

Look at you, you've said everything yourself. There's no point in me talking.

Never mind. I guess you're just being possessive

Don't just bite anyone the next time

You...

Are you calling me a dog? You...

Duke Su

are you just going to let her bully me?

Take the Princess of Xihe home

- Duke Su. .- Yes.

- Duke Su. .- Let's go.

She's bullying me

Thank you

Sorry for making you worry, Master

Your Highness, after you

Rong'er, how did you end up in such a strange place with Duke Su?

It was a coincidence

When I sneaked out from home,

I ran into Duke Su, who was leaving the capital in a carriafge

I climbed into it out of desperation

Thank god you hid it from my parents Otherwise, I would get beaten again

You don't say

How did you end up being trapped in the canyon?

I'm not really sure what happened

Master, is it true that sometimes

you can't even trust those who are closest to you?

Rong'er, what nonsense are you talking about?

If you can't even trust those who are closest to you, who can you trust?

Rong'er must have had quite the fright

Go back and get some rest

I have failed you. Please punish me, Your Highness

What... What happened?

I waited by the narrow entrance as you instructed

I ignited the fuse as soon as Duke Su appeared

But I didn't expect Dong Fang Li to attack me from behind

When I woke up, I attempted to trigger the remaining explosives

But Duke Su was already gone

I could only rush back to report to you

Never mind

You may leave

Yes

Mr Dong,

you're going to pay for what you did

Duke Cheng,

haven't I been paying the price for what I've done?

I won't make any more mistakes

You're excavating a gold mine in secret

and trying to keep it all to yourself

This matter will definitely reach His Majesty's ears

True It's such a huge gold mine

Someone has to take the blame

Speaking of which, how long has it been

since you last saw your son, Mr Dong?

You...

[Duke Su's Residence]

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

Mr Dong is not in his residence

Young Master Dong is gone too

The butler said he was sent to the country house long ago to recuperate

How convenient

I'm afraid Mr Dong has...

Xu Jia, take a team with you and check if Wen'er

is in the country house Find out if he's safe

Yes

Your Highness, are you suspecting that

someone is threatening Mr. Dong by holding Young Master Dong as a hostage?

Judging by Uncle's character

and our conversation the other day,

I don't think Uncle wants to kill me

I'm afraid there's more to this

Your Highness, because of the Princess of Xihe,

the news of you being trapped in Mount Meng has gotten out

The Emperor must have heard it too

Therefore, when you attend the imperial court tomorrow...

Your Highness, you...

I'm fine, I caught a bit of a cold last night

[Sanjiu Apothecary Shop]

Ninth Uncle

Ninth Uncle

My back

Ninth Uncle, you have to take care of your back

Come here

Your hairpin is crooked

Let me see

It's straightened now

Why are you in such a mess?

It's all because of my precious herbs

Tell me, What brings you here to my humble store, Doctor He?

I'm here for your secret family remedy

Hurry, get me a pack of cold medicine

You got it

Orange jasmine

I still need some evodia lepta

Evodia lepta

You know, every ingredient in your prescription...makes sense

Of course

The remedy was passed down by our third granduncle

It's our best kept secret remedy for colds

Look at you, getting carried away with the praises

[Sanjiu Apothecary Shop Stamp]

[Sanjiu Apothecary Shop Stamp]

Your Highness,

why is today's medicine

more bitter than usual?

Your Highness, as the saying goes, bitter medicine cures sickness

I got this cold medication specially formulated for you at Sanjiu Apothecary Shop

It'll speed up your recovery Remember to take your medication regularly

I got it You may leave

Yes

I won

You beat me

You won

Father, how much longer do I have to stay here?

I miss home

Wen'er...there are more people here to take care of you

We'll go home when you get better

It's time for bed

Duke Su

Yes, Your Majesty

Tell us what happened

I went to Mount Meng because I found out that someone in the court

has been smuggling sulphur and nitre

Upon tracing it to Mount Meng, I made an unexpected discovery

There is a gold mine in the mountain

On that night, I accidentally triggered a pile of explosives in the canyon

which left me trapped in the mountain

Duke Cheng

Yes, Your Majesty

Tell us what you saw

A few days ago, I found out that

someone has been buying up slaves on the market

and sending them to Mount Meng

I investigated it as it seemed shady

Yesterday, I discovered that there is a gold mine in Mount Meng

and reported it to you immediately

So who is the person responsible for the illegal mining

and smuggling of sulphur and nitre?

Have you found out about it?

Your Majesty, it is I

Uncle

Dong Fang Li?

You've always been an upright official

Why did you suddenly...

I was blinded by desire and made a huge mistake

Please punish me, Your Majesty

Duke Su, how do you think Dong Fang Li should be punished?

Father

Mr. Dong made the wrong choice in a moment of weakness

Mr Dong has been an upright official all these years

- He deserves credit for his loyalty. - Father.

If Dong Fang Li isn't punished for what he did,

others may follow suit in the future

The consequences would be unthinkable

I have gone astray

I have disgraced the heavens and dishonoured the earth

My sin is unforgivable

Only death can express my penitence

- Uncle. - Uncle.

- Uncle. - Uncle.

- Get the imperial doctor here. - Uncle.

Get the imperial doctor here

- Uncle. - Uncle.

[Guang Yang Palace]

The sulfur and niter were under Uncle's supervision

He knew someone was smuggling sulfur and niter

Why didn't he inform Uncle first?

All the years spent outside has hardened his heart

He only wants to get into Father's good books

Say no more

Hao'er,

say no more

Sorry, Mother

I'm just furious that you can't even mourn

Stop talking

Just stop talking

Mother

Your Highness

Please pass this to Mother

This will soothe her mind

Also, tell Mother that

Wen'er's uncle has reached out to me

He wants to take care of Wen'er

Fang Zhi Zhou is a righteous man

He has no children

And he's close with Wen'er

Send a letter to Duke Su's Residence

once Mother approves of it

Yes

Your Highness, aren't you going to go inside?

Never mind

Mistress, you seem quiet and concerned tonight

Is everything going well with the explosives?

Now that the gold mine in Mount Meng has been discovered,

in order to dissociate himself from the matter,

Duke Cheng has entrusted all the explosives to Ruyi Pavilion

I can pass it over to you anytime

Very well

There is only one thing

I couldn't figure out

Why did Mr Dong die so suddenly?

You're not the only one I couldn't figure it out either

But it doesn't matter

It's just that Mr. Dong was a decent official

If I find out who's behind it,

I won't let him get away with it

As for those explosives, may I know what you are going to do with it?

I thought Ruyi Pavilion is only interested in doing business and not asking questions?

It's true that I made you that promise

But Ruyi Pavilion has been keeping a low profile

I wouldn't want to stir up any trouble

Fine, I'll tell you this

Once I get what I want, I'll let you know what I'm up to

So right now, you just need keep your end of the bargain

And of course,

I'll still need your help afterward

You overestimated Liu Ru Yi, Young Master

She's just a woman after all

She made such a fuss over the death of Dong Fang Li

That's good We'll use Ruyi Pavilion to our advantage

Based on what I know,

the entire Ruyi Pavilion answers to a token

And Liu Ru Yi is the current owner of that token

If we can get our hands on that token,

we'll be able to take control of Ruyi Pavilion

This is good news indeed
