Court Lady

Ep22

Stay back! Don't come near me!

My beauty.

-My beauty. -Get away from me!

Today I'll let you know

what the greatest pleasure is.

You brute!

That little vixen.

When your innocence is tainted,

we'll see if the young master would still take you.

So soon?

Young Master,

why are you here?

If you want me to serve you,

you can just call me into your room.

I am not here for you.

Where is Yin?

She is not in her room.

She must have sneaked out.

Sneaked out?

Where did she go?

That shameless girl

sneaks out every night.

Who knows who she has hooked up with?

If you know this, why didn't you do something about it?

Do something?

You would say that I am being mean to her.

If this got out, your reputation would be stained.

I dare not tell anyone.

This is nonsense!

Young Master!

Young Master!

You bitch!

You just have to do it the hard way, don't you?

Get away from me! Get off!

-Get away from me! -Stop it!

-Get off of me! -Lu Hanxing!

You bastard!

You want to run away?

You've got a nerve now.

How dare you lay a finger on my maid?

This is consensual.

It's none of your business.

None of my business, right?

None of my business?

None of my business! None!

Stop it!

If you hit me again...

One more time and I'll fight back.

Fight back?

Go ahead!

Do it! Fight back!

Lu Qi!

Fight back!

No wonder you always complained about being tired.

Turns out that you were here carrying on with a man.

It's you.

You are right.

It's me who told on you to him,

you impudent strumpet.

Young Master Lu treats you so well,

but you are here hooking up with another man.

Shameless!

Why did you set me up?

You were the one who did it.

Don't blame it on other people.

You...

How dare you touch me?

Mother!

Mother!

Young Master,

this vixen was caught with her wrongdoing.

Her shame became anger.

She even tried to hit me.

That's enough!

Stop making a scene in the middle of the night!

You can go back now.

Anything can wait until tomorrow.

Young Master.

Get out!

I...I am so sorry.

Mother.

How shameful!

You!

My silly girl.

In this world,

no one cares more about you than me.

If I am gone,

who are you going to cry to?

It is my fault, Mother.

I never had the chance to repay your kindness and love.

I couldn't even keep

the last thing you gave me safe.

Mother.

I want to revenge you so bad.

However...

I...I...

However, I was not able to do anything

even when our enemy stood right in front of me.

If you can please me,

you can get whatever you want.

You know what?

I fell into the pond once

and was almost drowned.

It was the Crown Prince who saved me.

The Crown Prince?

We were little at that time.

When he saw me fall into the water,

he jumped in to save me without hesitation.

I often wonder that

if I hadn't survived at that time,

then maybe,

I'd always be the adorable younger brother to him,

instead of King Zhou, a thorn in his flesh.

So, why did you end up like this...

Because of some words a person said.

Who is it?

Master Su.

The master who is famous for anthroposcopy

and is especially respected by His Majesty?

He read my face before.

And he said that I...

He said that I would lead

a charmed life with great fortune.

A charmed life with great fortune.

Do you know how dangerous these words are

for a prince?

From then on, I became the rival of the Crown Prince.

That maid died.

It caused you great pain.

But do you know what the real pain is?

Death is not painful.

To change is the most painful thing.

When you watch the world change into a place beyond recognition,

and the siblings you grew up with

change into someone you couldn't even imagine,

that's the greatest pain you could ever feel.

I hope that

we can try our best

to keep the world

as it's supposed to be.

Your Highness.

Do you know

when I fell for you?

You are drunk, Your Highness.

It's when you tried to help Matron Situ.

You are so stubborn.

You will never change or give in to the world.

There are a lot of temptations in the world

and hardships as well.

If you don't want to be changed,

and want to be true to yourself throughout your life,

your life would be hard.

People who lose faith

will forget their true selves unknowingly.

They will even

do things they would never do in the past.

Who is it?

It's you.

I came here to justify myself.

I saw it with my own eyes.

How dare you come here talking about justice?

Please allow me to tell you the truth.

Fu Rou, promise me

that you will always be yourself.

You may look stubborn and disagreeable,

but that's what I like about you.

I really like it.

Young Master, it's time to get up.

What time is it?

It's nearly half past seven.

Linglong, what are you doing!

Yin!

Yin was wronged.

If in the future,

you dare to make up

groundless rumors again,

I won't let you get away so easily.

Young Master,

don't be mad at Linglong.

It was just some misunderstanding.

You are always the most tractable.

Just be assured.

As for that wretched Lu Hanxing,

I'll ask him to pay for his misbehavior.

Young Master,

His Lordship wants to see you.

What is it?

Young Master Hanxing went there to apologize.

Here we go again.

This is not a big deal.

Get up now.

It was all my fault.

I drank too much yesterday.

When I saw that beautiful maid,

I suddenly lost my head, so...

You did it deliberately.

Save it!

How dare you touch the maid in my study.

She is just a maid.

But this is your cousin.

You have already given him a sound beating.

We should move on.

Did you hear me?

Yes.

Get up now.

Thank you, Uncle.

Hanxing,

you are at the most energetic age.

It is understandable

that you made such a mistake with women.

It was thoughtless of me.

I should've made some arrangements for your marriage.

Father,

I think the daughter of Vice Minister Zhao

is a suitable choice.

This young lady is from a decent family with great manners.

She will become an understanding wife and a loving mother.

In fact, I can still wait.

You fool!

You can wait, but can your mother wait as well?

She asked me to take care of you.

I'll take care of this.

The lady of the Zhao Family it is.

Uncle,

I...

I don't want her.

You don't want her?

The lady of the Zhao Family is hideous.

If I married her,

I'd become the laughing stock of Chang'an.

You really don't want to marry her?

This decision will affect my whole life.

We'd better be more considerate.

So, you are saying that I'm not considerate enough?

I dare not.

Your father died young

and he entrusted you to me.

I treat you as if you were my own child.

But it turns out that there is still a wedge between us.

I should have just stayed out of it.

From this day forward,

you shall be deposed from the position of the commandant.

Now you are unrestrained and free to marry whoever you want.

Uncle!

Cousin,

I shall say congratulations!

Now you can marry whoever you want.

I don't even dare to dream about having that luxury.

You dared to disdain the look of the lady of the Zhao Family.

Just look at yourself.

Without me to back you up,

who do you think you will be able to marry?

Get out of here.

There is no place for you in my mansion anymore.

Uncle!

It was...it was all my fault.

I will marry

no matter who

you want me to marry.

There you go.

A man should ask for a decent lady in marriage.

So what if she is not beautiful enough?

You will have my father as your protector,

and Vice Minister Zhao as your father-in-law.

My cousin,

how fortunate you are!

You're right. I am so fortunate indeed.

I wasn't thinking straight back then.

Will this happen again?

Never.

My dear nephew.

Please get up! Please!

Come on.

You're an adult now.

Don't be upset about some trifles.

Cheer up.

Let's pick an auspicious day

and I'll go to the Zhao Family to propose the marriage for you.

Thank you, Uncle.

You can go now.

Congratulations, Father.

We will have an alliance between our family and the Zhao Family.

Then, in the Court,

we'll have one more ally on our side.

After Hanxing's marriage,

it will be your turn.

My...

My turn?

You can have whoever you want as your concubine.

But you must marry a princess as your wedded wife.

His Majesty appreciates your talents.

Not to mention

my outstanding contributions to the country over the past decades.

We've earned the right to ask His Majesty to marry a princess to you.

Don't be like that Sheng Chumu.

Such a disappointment.

He acted recklessly for a commoner

and even turned down the marriage ordered by His Majesty.

You can fall for any woman you want.

I don't care.

But never ever think about taking her as your wife.

There's no hurry.

Let's tackle our problem with Hong Yide first,

Father.

General Lu ordered us to search for Hong Yide.

What do you think?

Think of what?

Since the General has given the order,

of course, we have to do as he said.

So, shall we have a lockdown for the search?

Sure.

And offer a large sum of money for information?

Of course.

Then,

I'm afraid we will make a big deal out of this.

The General doesn't want the Court to know

that Hong Yide is still alive.

I think...

What's there to think about?

I am the one who followed the General everywhere

and I know about him the best.

What General Lu wants is the head of Hong Yide.

As long as we can get this done for him,

without any firm evidence,

what can the Court do with General Lu?

Stop hesitating.

Just go get him!

Understood.

It's right ahead.

Deputy Captain Xi,

that is the mansion I told you.

After we catch him,

you can get the reward.

Thank you, Deputy Captain Xi.

Let's move.

Take them.

Tell us! Where is Hong Yide?

Talk!

Stop it!

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you.

So, where is Hong Yide?

I will only tell the person in charge here.

You can leave for now.

Understood.

I am the one in charge here.

Now, tell me.

You?

I am the confidant of General Lu.

Tell me where Hong Yide went

and I will not only ask the General to spare your life

but also grant you a big sum of money as a reward.

Will you keep your word?

The commander is not in Guangzhou.

He went to Chang'an.

Chang'an?

He is trying to get himself killed.

His whole family is gone.

He went to Chang'an this time

with no intention of getting back alive.

He said that

he wants to start a big fight

so that everyone will remember his name.

If Hong Yide makes a huge fuss in Chang'an,

the bribes General Lu took

and his connivance of the rebels

will be exposed.

You are right.

General Lu should send someone to intercept Hong Yide right away.

Otherwise, there will be trouble.

Officer,

since I have given you such important information,

would you please give me a raise in my reward?

My friend,

there is one more thing I need to tell you.

The person I admire the most in my life

is my future brother-in-law.

What does it have to do with my reward?

He always tells me,

"He, who is merciful, isn't competent to be a general.

He, who does not resort to violent treachery when it's necessary, is not a true man."

Sub by iQiyi & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Deputy Captain Xi.

Did he talk?

Yes, he did.

Hong Yide is not in Guangzhou.

He is now hiding in a cave in Wing Lok Mountain.

That's great.

Send my order.

Yes.

Gather up and let's search Wing Lok Mountain.

Understood.

The prisoner...

He bit his tongue and committed suicide.

He already made a confession.

Why would he commit suicide?

Maybe because he felt guilty about Hong Yide

and couldn't bear it.

Commander,

we have arrived in Chang'an.

My brothers,

that is the nest of the Emperor.

More than sixty people within my family

were killed by him. I am now left all alone.

I used up all of my valuables

in exchange for my life from Lu Yunji,

not because I was afraid of death,

but because I wouldn't reconcile to this.

I will die with everlasting regret

unless the Emperor pays his debt.

Keep it in mind, my brothers!

Come here and have a look.

Help me!

It is your honor to have a drink with us.

Don't get on my bad side.

I won't go with you.

Get your hands off me.

Take her.

-Come on. -Help me!

-Let's go. -Let me go!

-What are you doing? -Get your hands off me!

Trying to save her.

Do you know her?

Get away from me!

No.

Then why do you want to save her?

People dare to do this on the street in Chang'an...

-They must be powerful and influential. -Let go of me!

I am not afraid of that.

When we were pirates,

people were always cursing at us.

But we are good people now.

-If we see bad guys harming a woman... -I won't go with you!

Of course, we should stand up for her

and be a hero.

Stop it.

Let go of me!

Get your hands off this lady.

Who the hell are you?

The commandant of General of Admiralty's Mansion, Ma Haihu.

General of Admiralty's Mansion.

How dare you

abduct a woman in broad daylight!

Have you no respect for the law?

General of Admiralty's Mansion?

Do you know who I am?

Do you know who he is?

I don't care who you are.

I'm only interested in the fact that you are ruffians.

Let go of her.

No way.

No way, right?

That's great.

Finally, I can have a good reason to beat someone up.

Today, I'll do the right thing and get justice for the lady.

Go get him! Go!

Get your hands off me!

Are you all right, young lady?

I'm fine.

Watch out!

Go away!

Move!

Move!

Come on.

Are you all right?

Come on.

Get over here.

It will be fine. Don't be scared.

How dare you!

Who are you to start a fight here in Chang'an?

Adjutant Xu,

you didn't even recognize me?

It's you, Young Master Zhang.

I didn't see you here, Your Highness.

Adjutant Xu,

can't you see?

Zhang He and I

were beaten on the street.

Who dared to do that?

It was because they were abducting women.

This lady here can testify for me.

What lady is she?

She is a whore.

She is the top dancer of Yanhui Brothel, Lianyan.

What?

I have bought back my freedom and taken a different path.

You heard her?

She has bought back her freedom.

She has taken a different path.

That means she's an upright civilian now.

An upright civilian?

Let me tell you something.

Once a whore,

always a whore.

Will you be able to hatch a chick

out of a boiled egg?

A man who used to be a pirate and a woman who used to be a whore.

What a nice couple you make!

What did you say? Say it again.

What can you do?

Come on!

Go get him!

Get away from us!

Our boss is

General of Admiralty granted by His Majesty.

My ass!

Everyone here on the street knows that

you are just some rascal pirates.

Today,

let me teach you some rules

you have to obey in Chang'an.

You want to play the hero?

You want to play the hero? Go ahead, do it!

Stop it!

And you.

You can really fight, huh?

You can fight?

-Come no! Fight back! -Stop it!

-Don't beat him! -Go ahead!

Stop it! Don't!

I'll report you to the government of Yong city.

On what ground?

About you abducting women

and beating up a courtier.

Did I do those things?

Did I?

No, you didn't.

It was the whore who fell for your dashing bearing

and tried to seduce you.

That's right.

They were drunk and tried to cause trouble.

We just happened to be passing by.

Did you hear that?

This is what our status means.

Here in Chang'an,

you pirates have no right

to speak up for yourselves.

Shame on you!

What a stubborn man!

Get over here.

Let's make their fight even fiercer.

-Understood. -Understood.

Stop it!

Stop beating them!

What kind of man are you to beat a woman?

Just come at me.

All right.

Back off.

I'll deal with you.

Haihu.

-Haihu. -Stop it!

Haihu.

You want to play the hero?

Are you all right?

How are you doing?

How is it?

Does it hurt?

Adjutant Xu,

so, how should we settle this matter today?

You created a disturbance after drinking

and badgered with a woman from the brothel on the street.

This is in breach of morality

and I shall punish you by law.

Get here!

Yes.

Arrest all of them and take them back!

Understood.

Wait a minute.

Adjutant Xu,

you should make them walk

from this end of Chang'an Street

to that end under escort,

so everyone can see clearly

how these pirates who claim to be good people now

are still doing evil.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Take them.

Wait a minute.

Your Highness.

Palace attendant Yu.

I came out to make some purchases for Consort Yan

and happened to be passing by.

May I have a word with you?

Sure.

Please.

If I didn't happen to be passing by today,

you would have made a huge mistake, Your Highness.

He is just General of Admiralty.

Am I supposed to be afraid of him?

General of Admiralty is just a nobody.

Of course, you can give him a hard time.

But if you also give His Majesty a hard time,

this is not going to end well.

What do you mean?

The title of General of Admiralty

was given by His Majesty to Yan Zifang.

His Majesty firmly believes that Yan has cleaned up his act.

But if Your Highness had him arrested and paraded him in the public,

would it be a slap on the general's face

or His Majesty's face?

Is it that the Prince Consort framed a case against Yan Zifang

or His Majesty made a mistake about him?

If His Majesty knows about this,

you are not going to look good.

Thank you for your advice.

Just forget it.

Let them go.

I'll let you off this time.

Let them go.

Boss, are you all right?

Young lady.

Are you all right?

-May I ask your name? -I'm fine.

My name is Yu He,

the palace attendant of Consort Yan.

Thank you for your generous help.

If it weren't for you, this would bring

a great disgrace to my mansion.

Don't take it too seriously.

Such things happen all the time.

If you don't have a protector to rely on,

you are bound to be bullied in Chang'an.

I've got some errands to run.

Please excuse me.

Let me tell you,

our General is...

Boss, where are you going?

To get a drink.

Why are you going for a drink at this point?

We should find a way to get revenge.

Are you serious?

My Lady,

let's go to the rouge store.

My Lady, come and have a look.

This is the newest style we just got.

It is of great quality.

Have a try.

Please enjoy.

Come on. Cheers.

Get me some wine.

Cheers.

Let's drink.

Who did you fight with?

I told you

not to come to me again.

Yes, you did.

But I can ignore it.

Do you know who you are?

Do you know who I am?

I know that you wanted to kill me that day on the beach,

but you didn't do it.

I also know that in the woods that day,

you could have ruined me.

But still, you didn't.

You got hurt.

You shouldn't drink.

Why did you fight with others?

I would rather die

than join you in your evil deeds.

From now on, we are no longer pirates.

We can now walk in Chang'an by rights.

Stop drinking.

You are the daughter of the Duke with noble status.

Is it fun for you to tease a pirate like me

who is despised by all?

No.

Then what?

Do you really like me?

Yes, I do.

I like you.

But I don't like you.

Commander,

isn't that the boss of the Four Seas Sect?

As the head of pirates,

he can even walk freely in Chang'an.

I heard that he has pledged allegiance to the Court.

He gave up the unrestrained life on the sea

and came here to be a stooge of the Emperor.

He can be a stooge as he likes.

We'll focus on our business.

My Lady,

there you are.

Why did you drink so much wine?

It's fine.

That's all right.

Don't cry.

There, there.

Although you can't marry Duke of Chang's family,

there are still many other honorable families in Chang'an.

We will find you a good husband.

What are you doing?

Didn't you say that

I should get along with Linglong?

So, I want to draw a portrait for her

to cheer her up.

This is a great idea.

So, what is Linglong wearing in the picture?

A pearl robe.

She looks stunning in it.

Linglong has a pearl robe?

Yeah.

You've got some nerve now.

You even dared to steal Yingying's pearl robe.

I didn't steal it.

I bought this pearl robe with the money I'd saved for years.

Don't you argue with me!

Beat her.

Beat her hard.

Young Master.

Young Master!

Young Master, I didn't steal it.

Young Master!

Young Master!

What's going on here?

Young Master Hanxing,

please help me.

She stole Yingying's pearl robe.

Not my business. I should go.

You can't go.

Help me!

How dare you!

Among all the pearl robes,

you had to steal Yingying's.

Here is my advice.

Just admit it and save yourself some trouble.

Lu Hanxing,

now that you are so cold and cruel to me,

I'll tell the truth.

Lu Hanxing is the one who stole the robe and gave it to me.

You bitch!

Don't pin that on me.

When the Duke and you were in the cell,

he took away the valuable things in the mansion

and embezzled half of them.

Then, he wanted to have me,

so he gave me the pearl robe as a gift.

Shut up!

Full of nonsense!

You shut your mouth as well!

Punish this darned thief

according to the rules in the mansion.

I understand.

Young Master, I didn't do it.

Young Master.

Young Master, it's Lu Hanxing who stole it.

You have to believe me, Young Master.

Young Master!

Young Master!

Young Master!

Lu Qi,

you are wise.

You know that bitch was lying.

Get in here.

Wait.

What now?

The General is back!

-General. -General.

-General. -General.

Where did you go?

We've been waiting for you.

Why?

To get back at those bastards!

Yeah.

We are fully equipped and ready.

Are you trying to cause trouble in Chang'an?

We don't want that.

But here in Chang'an,

our life is miserable.

Indeed, we have been made officials.

But in Chang'an,

they all have higher ranks than us.

We are the ones

who truly made contributions and pledged allegiance.

But what about them?

They still call us pirates!

Yeah.

We've had enough of it!

If anyone dares to cross us,

they will pay the price.

Yeah! They will pay the price!

Shut up!

Put down all the weapons.

Do you know how many guards there are in Chang'an?

I brought you here

so you can lead a peaceful life.

I didn't take you here to get yourself killed.

If you still regard me as your boss,

put down your weapons.

Boss.

We have mended our ways.

Why do they still look down on us all the time?

Do we have to bear with it our whole life?

Haihu,

you are wrong.

How am I wrong?

You are wrong to think that Chang'an is a promised place

where good things happen to good people.

In fact, Chang'an

is just another sea.

Another sea?

Yes.

It is no different from the sea

we used to struggle in.

Only the ones with stronger fists

will be respected.

Then why did you stop us from getting revenge?

In Chang'an, the fist I said

does not refer to the ability to fight.

So, what does it mean?

It means power.

Yin,

where did you go?

What is it?

Linglong is dead.

Why is Lu Hanxing still alive?

What do you mean?

It was Lu Hanxing who stole the pearl robe.

He was the one who made the mistake.

Why didn't he get the punishment he deserved?

Are you questioning me?

Yes, I am questioning you.

Linglong only accepted the stolen robe

and you killed her in cold blood.

Why couldn't you have killed

Lu Hanxing, the one who is to blame?

You are fatuous!

You want to know why?

Let me tell you.

Linglong was just a maid.

But Lu Hanxing is still one of us no matter how disappointing

and reckless he is.

He is still one of the Lu Family.

Besides,

keep this in mind.

You are only a maid after all.

Get out.

Father.

Your Highness.

Did you greet your mother?

Yes, I did.

Mother rewarded me with a lot of things.

Look.

Father,

do you have anything nice to reward me?

Did you hear that?

Are you here to greet me or ask for rewards?

I only have one birthday in a year.

Father,

don't be stingy.

Am I that kind of person?

Send them in.

How do you like it?

Did you see that?

Thank you, Father.

Princess Xinnan is so innocent and lovely.

What an adorable child!

I also prepared a gift for her.

Yu He.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Today is the birthday of Princess Xinnan.

I also prepared something for her.

Please kindly accept it, Your Highness.

Even Duke of Cai prepared a gift for me.

What a day!

This is my family heirloom.

A family heirloom?

I don't think I should take it.

Xinnan,

you will turn fifteen tomorrow.

Sheng Chumu doesn't have the privilege to marry you.

Lu Qi, the son of Lu Yunji, is endowed with civil and martial virtues.

I intend to marry you to him.

It's our honor, Your Majesty.

What family?

They forced me to marry a hideous woman.

They scold me and beat me whenever they want.

In your eyes,

I am no better than a dog.

It was just a stupid pearl robe.

I am also one of the Lu Family.

I'm also entitled to get a share of everything in the family.

Why do you always get to

have all the nice things?

Why do I always have to get all the trouble? Why?

Young Master, take it easy.
