[Episode 31]

22

Honestly, a good friend of mine

23

got falsely accused for no reason at all.

24

I must take that man to see the emperor of Megrez Empire

25

to clear my friend's name. Who would have known...

26

Forget it. I'll just go to the Megrez Imperial City and have an audience with the emperor first.

27

You're saying that you plan to go to Megrez Imperial City

28

and even want to enter the palace to have an audience with the emperor?

29

Is there anything wrong about that?

30

It's easy to enter the imperial city, but hard to enter the imperial palace.

31

Don't even talk about having an audience with the Father Emperor.

32

Megrez Empire commands the Five Regions and have tight security to begin with.

33

Now that Crown Prince has returned from his training, the whole city is rejoicing.

34

The more it will be hard for an outsider to go in.

35

Who really is that Crown Prince Wuji?

36

Recently, I kept hearing you all talk about him.

37

I only know that at the age of 10, he already produced world renowned literary works

38

and his arrows can travel thousands of li. At age 12, he charge into South Clan by himself,

39

fixed the conflict between the northern and southern tribes,

40

and resolved a great calamity that almost exterminated the Qiongye Tribe.

41

By age 15, the heaven sent down an auspicious sign that preserved the harvest of the whole Five Regions.

42

There is even such a person?

43

Even the story tellers won't dare write things like that.

44

Wuji isn't human.

45

Ha?

46

He's a god.

47

Sorry...

48

Can we stop talking about your god?

49

Can you tell me how to enter the city?

50

I just happen to be going to Megrez Imperial City in a few days.

51

- Really?

- One is that the leaves of the feathered tree in Mt. Muling (spiritual pasture)

52

can neutralize the noxious illness.

53

Second, I have an important matter to do too.

54

Seeing how you're of the same age as me,

55

and that we're fated to meet,

56

why don't you stay for a few more days?

57

After I finish the matters at hand,

58

I'll take you with me when I seek an audience in the palace.

59

- Really?

- Yes.

60

Wuji, you're finally back.

61

Older Sister Fuyao, my Miss has fallen ill.

62

This way.

63

Miss! Miss!

64

- Miss...

- Let me pass.

65

Older Sister.

66

Fuyao.

67

I'm here.

68

You all just go back to your work. Miss Fuyao and I

69

will just privately say a few words.

70

One can't really predict one's life.

71

I really feel embarrassed for asking you to come here today,

72

but I have a very important matter

73

that I must ask you to do.

74

Sister, just give the instructions.

75

To tell you honestly, I am going to the imperial city this time

76

for official political affair concerning the Five Regions.

77

But now, I fear that I won't be able to rush there anymore.

78

- Miss, don't say such things.

- Won't be able to rush there...

79

Miss...

80

Do you still remember the Crown Prince Wuji

81

that I told you before?

82

I remember.

83

He is my fiancé.

84

Miss is the second princess of Plough Nation.

85

Since she was little, she already got engaged to Crown Prince Wuji.

86

My purpose for going to the imperial city time is both for state affairs

87

and to discuss my marriage matters with him.

88

Although he and I are thousand of miles apart, we would exchange letters

89

through swan geese these past years.

90

This yearning has never lessened all these years.

91

I also have decided to not marry anyone except him in this lifetime.

92

He also said that he will never marry anyone except me.

93

Since he's such a faithful man,

94

you surely will get better

95

and get reunited with him.

96

I treated so many people. I know this illness very well.

97

I fear that...

98

Miss, you surely will get better!

99

Even if I'm able to survive it,

100

we mustn't cause any delay on the official matters.

101

Qiaoling, go get my badge.

102

Miss.

103

Hurry up.

104

Miss.

105

This...

106

This is the Purple Phoenix Badge that can represent my status.

107

I beg you to go to Megrez Imperial City using my name.

108

Go see Crown Prince Wuji and Father Emperor for me.

109

- You...want me to disguise as you?

- Right.

110

This...we mustn't do this. I can't disguise as you.

111

- I beg you.

- Lady...

112

Older Sis Fuyao, I really can't understand it.

113

Why did that Sister Folian want you to disguise as her?

114

She said that the Megrez Empire is currently facing a huge crisis.

115

She is also a representative of Plough Nation.

116

The Megrez Imperial City called for envoys from different nations to discuss this matter.

117

If she didn't go there on time, the Megrez Imperial City will surely blame Plough Nation for it.

118

Her marriage with Crown Prince Wuji might also get canceled.

119

But is it really right to do this?

120

What's wrong about it?

121

We are not going there to harm anyone. We just need to explain it clearly once we see the emperor.

122

Maybe, we can even clear Zhan Beiye's name in passing.

123

Isn't that good?

124

Hope so.

125

- Let's go.

- Let's go!

126

Let's go.

127

Let's go.

128

Older Sis Fuyao, I can't believe that I'm inside the imperial city!

129

When we left Mt. Mystic Soul, we went to Deep Water Nation. And now, we're in Megrez Empire!

130

If you don't go out to travel the world, you really won't realize how huge it is!

131

Indeed.

132

Maybe, this will be lead to another adventure!

133

Megrez Imperial Palace...

134

It's really...so imposing.

135

It's really better to see it than just hearing of it.

136

Look. There are so many people over there. Let's go there.

137

I beg you...

138

- I beg you...

- Thanks...

139

- So pitiful.

- I just want to cure my younger brother's illness.

140

- This uncle, what's happening here?

- Please spare me.

141

- I won't do it again...

- It's all because of the noxious illness. This miss and his younger brother rely on each other for survival.

142

Who would have known that when her younger brother went out to find work a few days ago, he was found to be sick of the noxious illness upon returning.

143

This miss heard that that leaves of the feathered tree in Mt. Muling can cure this illness, so she secretly went there to pick some.

144

But the feathered tree is the symbol of the royal family.

145

It's not something that a commoner can casually pick.

146

Who did that?

147

Several men bullying one woman, don't you find that embarrassing?

148

Who are you?

149

Don't bother asking who I am. I can't stand men like you.

150

Move aside! Move aside!

151

Oh, it's a heroine.

152

Attack.

153

Kill her!

154

Stop!

155

Greetings, Prince Virtue.

156

Greetings, Royal Uncle.

157

First Royal Son, pick up your belt first.

158

Don't embarrass yourself in front of the saintess of the Five Regions.

159

You must be careful of a very important item like that.

160

Royal Uncle, you're saying that she's...

161

If she's not from the royal family of Plough Nation,

162

who would have a Purple Phoenix Badge like this?

163

I was disrespectful...

164

So, you're the First Royal Son. Sorry for offending you earlier.

165

But can I ask First Royal Son to let this miss go?

166

She went to pick the leaves for her family.

167

Since Megrez Empire is the imperial city of the Five Regions, the more you should empathize with the citizens.

168

Saintess must have misunderstood things.

169

First Royal Son was also just worried that the noxious illness might spread to the citizens here, hence, he's making intensive investigations.

170

As for these leaves of the feathered tree, the palace

171

has already planned to distribute them to the citizens and refugees.

172

I happen to have brought some today.

173

First Royal Son...

174

His Highness Crown Prince will be back in the city soon.

175

Father Emperor also hopes that his citizens will be healthy.

176

Immediately practice good deeds for His Majesty.

177

Thank you, First Royal Son!

178

Good! Good!

179

- Thank you, saviors.

- You're welcome.

180

Quickly take these leaves home.

181

- Thank you, saviors.

- Go back now.

182

Saintess indeed has a heart of Bodhisattva. You are so benevolent.

183

I thank you two in behalf of the citizens.

184

I already knew that the princess of Plough Nation will be coming to Megrez.

185

I've already made the preparations. Why don't we—

186

No need to make such troubles.

187

I'll take my leave.

188

Where are we going?

189

I don't know.

190

[Wuba City Gather]

191

Isn't that the peculiar shop in Deep Water Nation?

192

- That's right. This is also—

- Indeed.

193

Our Wuba City Gather is distributed all over Five Regions. Our branches can be found everywhere.

194

We especially provide convenience for the citizens of different areas.

195

Good timing. We've just arrived in Megrez Imperial City today.

196

We happen to be looking for an inn to settle down. Do you have any suggestion?

197

Wait a minute. Let me check.

198

[A miss carrying a purple phoenix badge is a special guest from the royal family of Plough Nation...]

199

Miss, are you a special guest from Plough Nation?

200

You also know that?

201

I already knew that Miss will come.

202

A few days ago, someone came here and reserved the most unique courtyard in Megrez.

203

He said that it's for an important guest from Plough Nation.

204

He even reserved for a carriage.

205

- Who made the reservations?

- Who else?

206

You are First Royal Son's important guest. Of course, it was him who made the reservations.

207

No need...

208

No...this...

209

This First Royal Son is something. He really knows to set the helm according to the wind.

210

One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.

211

- We mustn't accept such favors.

- Right.

212

But, what should we do now?

213

He already bribed the whole street. How are we going to continue?

214

We will find a way.

215

Hateful doctor?

216

What? You lost them?

217

She didn't stay in the hotels or inns that we've arranged beforehand.

218

Useless. You all are useless!

219

Your Highness, what should we do now?

220

What did I tell you before?

221

I must be informed immediately once the Saintess Folian enters the city.

222

She's the second princess of Plough Nation.

223

The silver and gold mountains are all in their Plough Nation.

224

If I'm able to get the support of Plough Nation,

225

will I still fear not getting the Crown Prince position?

226

Look at these great things that you all have done.

227

She already is inside the city, but you all didn't even know.

228

Good! I completely offended her now.

229

Useless! You all are useless!

230

Your Highness, I know now.

231

I'll go ask around her whereabouts now, so it will be convenient for you to approach her.

232

Quickly go!

233

That chicken was not bad.

234

- Hateful doctor.

- Medical Sage Zong.

235

- Had enough wines and food?

- Yes.

- Let's discuss the bill then.

236

12 jars of Yihuchun, 40 liang each jar, at total of 480 liang.

237

Four orders of soy deer ear with flowers and jade cake, a total of 120 liang.

238

No...

239

Also, 8 little plates of precious fruits with immortal dew—

240

Medical Sage Zong!

241

Are you some unscrupulous businessman?

242

- Didn't we just eat some food?

- That's right.

243

- Don't we have a friendly relationship?

- Good friends.

244

That wasn't a normal kind of eating.

245

You...

246

Tell us how we should settle this then. We don't have any money, but we have our lives.

247

Let's do this then. Sign a contract of selling yourself to me.

248

Ha? What are you trying to do?

249

What are you planning?

250

I'm just lacking some subordinates here in Megrez and will reluctantly take you two in.

251

You're telling me to become an underling?

252

If Medical Sage Zong is willing to take us in, we'll have a place to stay in.

253

- Let me think about it.

- Right.

254

Hey! I'm done thinking!

255

Isn't it just being an underling, doing labor?

256

It's fine.

257

We at least get to have free lodging and food, right?

258

There is meat for 3 meals, right?

259

- A room with huge bed.

- One day of work and 5 days of rest.

260

- That's good.

- Passable, right?

261

- Good.

- No problem.

262

Go and get these medicines.

263

The last two medicines can only be found in Shangyang (Upper Sun) Palace at the city's southern side.

264

Remember, not one less.

265

Okay.

266

This...there are so many people guarding. How are we going to get in?

267

[Shangyang Palace]

268

Looks like we can't enter this Shangyang Palace through the main gates.

269

How are we going to enter it then?

270

Just follow this prescription and gather the other medicines. Leave this place to me.

271

No... I can't leave you to do this alone. No way.

272

- No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone.

- I can do it. Just go.

273

Fine. Be careful. Don't get caught. Be careful.

274

275

This tune...sounds so familiar.

276

Your Highness, Saintess Folian has already entered the imperial city.

277

It's just that presently, no one knows where she settled in.

278

Got it. Don't let anyone disturb me.

279

Yes.

280

You liar!

281

You finally came to find me. Have you been well?

282

Give me back my item.

283

Let go of me! Let go!

284

How did you know that I've been thinking about you day and night?

285

I never stopped.

286

You are a liar.

287

Anything you say is a lie anyways.

288

I still don't know who you truly are.

289

I don't want to talk anymore. Just give me back my item.

290

- You...

- Where's my mystic spirit leaf?

291

Wait.

292

I haven't seen you in so long, don't you have anything you want to say to me?

293

What do I have to say to you, all you do is lie anyways.

294

I'm sure you don't have any good intentions in being here too.

295

I didn't tell you this, but I am the Crown Prince of Megrez.

296

You are the Crown Prince?

297

His aide. I'm Yuan Zhaoxu.

298

You are the Crown Prince's aide?

299

You must be lying.

300

If it's true, then take me to see the Crown Prince.

301

Why?

302

In coming here to Megrez Imperial City, there were a lot of people on the way that's saying

303

the Crown Prince Wuji of Megrez Empire is wise beyond his years, highly intelligent,

304

and that there is no one like him, but I doubt a person like that really exist in this world.

305

There is. What I did in Deep Water Nation before was an order from the Crown Prince.

306

It shows that Crown Prince isn't some good person too.

307

Let me tell you, do not talk badly about the Crown Prince

308

in Megrez or you will have bad luck.

309

Okay already. Stop being angry with me.

310

As apology, I'll take you to a fun place.

311

Why don't you take me to the Royal Palace?

312

Why do you want to go there?

313

I can't tell you that.

314

Then be good and listen to me first.

315

What bad scheme are you brewing?

316

How do you feel when you saw me again?

317

If not because I can't beat you, I would have attacked you already.

318

Fine, I won't fight back this time.

319

Liar, nothing you say is ever true, I will never believe you again.

320

Why did you bring me here?

321

It must be because you're a frequent guest in this brothel.

322

Are you jealous?

323

You wish.

324

I've drank a lot.

325

Aren't I drinking too?

326

Why did you steal my five-colored stone?

327

Isn't it to let you find me?

328

You're a great liar!

329

I won't talk to you anymore. Great liar...

330

- Liar...

- Hey...

331

Let me tell you, you are not allowed to...

332

...leave again next time without saying anything. You hear me?

333

I promise you.

334

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com

335

- You liar!

- I...

336

Enough.

337

Prince.

338

Royal Uncle.

339

Enough. Leave.

340

Yes.

341

Royal Uncle, Crown Prince left for so many years.

342

Royal Father's health is also weak. For most of the court affairs,

343

it's you and me who has handled them.

344

Now, we're being asked to just hand them to that guy?

345

Royal Uncle, are you able to put them down?

346

First Royal Son has achieved numerous military merits and you have such illustrious prestige in the imperial court.

347

Not being happy with suddenly handing over your power

348

is expected.

349

Aren't I asking about your feelings?

350

I didn't catch what you said.

351

Okay. I won't beat around the bush then.

352

Because a person suddenly appeared, I'm now being asked to hand over the affairs that I've been managing for so many years.

353

Royal Uncle, I really couldn't accept it.

354

If there comes a day that this matter won't be ending well,

355

I hope that Royal Uncle will stand on my side.

356

I surely will not treat you unfairly.

357

You shouldn't tell me about your complaints. I don't meddle with state affairs anymore.

358

Even if you tell me, I will just treat it as if I never heard anything.

359

Royal Uncle, could it be that you've already forgotten that matter in the hunting grounds?

360

Royal Uncle, forgive me for being tactless. But you know

361

that Wuji has always disliked you.

362

If he became the emperor, you think he'll be able to accommodate you?

363

Look. I didn't know that you're coming.

364

This...I didn't prepare any good tea.

365

It's really such poor service. How about I return to my manor and get some good tea?

366

I can't let Prince Assist suffer, right?

367

Jeez, Royal Uncle, no need for that. I'm done talking.

368

I'll take my leave.

369

The person who is unable to tolerate my existence isn't Wuji.

370

It's him.

371

Since His Highness Crown Prince didn't return to court as scheduled,

372

I fear that we must still let Prince Assist approve the matters for today.

373

- This...I think that is inappropriate.

- Everyone knows

374

that when His Highness Prince Assist led his army towards the South Clan,

375

he already promised the whole army

376

that he would reward them based on their merits when they victoriously return.

377

Now, the army has returned to the city for several days.

378

The military inspection officer has also submitted a request to rush it twice.

379

We kept delaying it until the Crown Prince returns, so he can personally make the appropriations.

380

We mustn't delay this matter anymore.

381

Be that as it may,

382

but the commanding officer for this expedition was His Highness Zhangsun Pingrong too.

383

If we allow His Highness to personally sign the rewards,

384

won't that easily invite suspicion?

385

Defeating the enemy is a meritorious contribution and should be rewarded. This is just proper and right.

386

How could that invite suspicions?

387

But if this matter continued to be delayed,

388

the more we won't be able to control other people's suspicious mouth.

389

My army bathed in blood in the battlefield.

390

They used their lives to exchange for a temporary halt from the South Clan.

391

They deserve to have these rewards.

392

If Crown Prince is against it, let him talk to Father Emperor.

393

- You heard all of it?

- Yes.

394

The whole city is looking for you,

395

while you are instead with a beautiful woman.

396

You didn't delay being romantic at all.

397

Royal Father, so you have heard about it.

398

I instead want to listen more to your explanation.

399

Royal Father, you are wise.

400

You clearly knew that today is the day that the inner court will approve the funding for Pingrong's army,

401

a good day to win people's heart.

402

You instead deliberately moved away and let PIngrong be this good man.

403

408

Is the song Prince Virtue singing "Yushui Tune"?

409

I didn't know that Empress is here. I was disrespectful.

410

What "Yushui Tune" sings about

411

the story of a man approaching while riding his bamboo horse and a woman reminiscing about the green plums while in her declining years. (childhood sweethearts missing each other)

412

Singing an old tune like that by yourself,

413

made it gloomier.

414

Wuji is back.

415

I know.

416

Pingrong is a petty person.

417

I fear that he can't accept others to steal the limelight from him.

418

But Wuji is after all my real son.

419

If Prince Virtue cares, then try to teach him more.

420

Crown Prince is an especially gifted leader.

421

He inheriting the throne is what everyone wishes.

422

I'm not that great, but I'm willing to render him my services.

423

I thank you in behalf of Wuji.

424

I still have things to do in my manor.

425

I'll take my leave now.

426

Prince Virtue isn't in your declining years yet.

427

It's better to sing less of that "Yushui Tune".

428

Older brother made a meritorious deed by leading his army.

429

It's most suitable for him to be the one to reward the army.

430

Is it because you don't want to steal this job from him

431

or you're unwilling to get involved in this muddled water?

432

Or that you felt this army as being trusted aides that Pingrong trained himself,

433

so you're unwilling to use them in the future?

434

All are correct.

435

It's good that you have your own stand.

436

Tell me about Deep Water Nation.

437

Royal Father asked me to decrease the strength of Deep Water Nation

438

with the least price to pay and via the most covert method. I'm sure that Royal Father already knew

439

that I used some trick to become the king of Deep Water Nation.

440

Now that a big war in Deep Water Nation has just ended, their threatening strength has diminished, they surely must rest for some time.

441

Good. Very good.

442

You trained in the Firmament for 10 years.

443

Now, without spending one soldier, you were able to weaken a vassal nation.

444

It's time to share the burden of governing the world with me.

445

Yes.

446

Your Majesty, Her Highness Empress especially set up a family dinner.

447

She's inviting Your Majesty and Crown Prince to go there.

448

Royal Father, you think...

449

Crown Prince will soon be there.

450

I'm already old and my strength is diminishing.

451

I let the important ministers handle the important state affairs.

452

Pingrong and Prince Virtue also shared a few of the burdens.

453

Although you're the crown prince,

454

you don't have much foundation within the imperial court.

455

Do you know that...regardless of which nation or empire...

456

...the fight for royal power has always been a life-or-death struggle?

457

Child...

458

You are still young. Always be vigilant.

459

Royal Father, take care of your health.

460

Just let me do the rest.

461

Go now.

462

Yes.

463

Doctor,

464

you're saying that this Yuan Zhaoxu...

465

- ...has been with Crown Prince Wuji since he was little,. Am I right?

- Yes.

466

- Then he...is 25 to 26 years old?

- Yes.

467

- Doctor.

- Yes.

468

Will you die if you talk more?

469

Do you want to hear about Crown Prince Wuji or Yuan Zhaoxu?

470

Your Highness Crown Prince.

"Hard-to-Get Love" by Lala Hsu

473

♫ What do you know? ♫

474

♫ What are good about the three realms? ♫

475

♫ If there're no three poisons, if there're no worries ♫

476

♫ How can it make me reluctant to leave? ♫

477

♫ Worry for love, beg for hate ♫

478

♫ And even discard my soul for affection ♫

479

♫ The one, who asks me to love him, loves me ♫

480

♫ I only want him to love me ♫

481

♫ What do you use to exchange for this hard-to-get love? ♫

482

♫ If there's no sickness or weakness, if there's never oldness ♫

483

♫ How can it make a spark to chase after stars alone? ♫

484

♫ Slim down for him, stay for my heart ♫

485

♫ And even chase away all luck for dreams ♫

486

♫ It wants me to be so pretty that I seize his soul ♫

487

♫ And continue dazzling in his heart ♫

488

♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫

489

♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫

490

♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫

491

♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫

492

♫ There is a saying that if a person asks for the next lifetime ♫

493

♫ One should only ask to know everything about warfare ♫

494

♫ Dreams beg heart to grant me love ♫

495

♫ And have someone's company for the rest of my life ♫

496

♫ Have someone's company♫
