Court Lady

Ep28

Jasmine!

Jasmine?

Jasmine!

Jasmine!

My cousin,

you must be miserable

lying here like a vegetable.

I shall enjoy all the luxuries

as future Duke of Cai for you.

You

can rest in peace.

Why are you here?

I'm visiting my cousin.

Doctor Zhang said that

the Young Master needs to rest.

Please leave.

Yin.

You're a big deal now.

The things you did to me,

Linglong's death,

I remember them all.

If you don't leave,

I will go to the Duke and say

you are disturbing the Young Master.

Fine. Whatever.

Jasmine.

From now on, you need to stay

by Master Lu's side when I'm not around.

At his elbow!

Yes, miss.

When Lu Qi is dead,

the whole mansion will be mine.

You bitch, you'll

wish you were dead.

This way, please.

Wu!

Show Mr. Zhao in first.

Young Master Hanxing.

Isn't he from the Zhao residence?

Yes.

He's here to discuss

your marriage.

What's the rush?

Lu Qi is in critical condition now.

How could I

focus on my marriage?

Uncle.

We can't do this.

Lu Qi is seriously injured.

You should have a wedding to drive away bad luck.

Me?

Driving away bad luck?

You and Lu Qi are like brothers.

If you help him get through this,

I will be

in your debt.

Uncle, I...

Just go.

Go.

Boss!

Where were you?

Her Majesty's convoy was attacked.

The whole city is in chaos.

Queen Han said that

they've found Her Majesty.

But that girl of Sheng Chumu was gone.

Hainiu.

You must be gloating, right?

Not at all.

Queen Han said that

a gentleman acquires his wealth in a noble way.

The same applies to my love for Sheng Chumu.

If I sit here and hope for the worst to happen to his girl

so that I can swoop in,

I'll be consumed by guilt.

General Admiralty's Mansion

I may not be back tonight.

Okay.

He's spent years on the sea.

Maybe he's met with

those foreigners from afar with blue eyes.

How long are you going to hold me captive?

You prefer to stay in the Palace

that's filled with schemes and scandals?

No, I don't.

But...

But you'd rather stay there than be with me.

You're not the Fu Rou I used to know.

Speechless?

For the sake of

the beautiful memories we shared as kids,

I don't want to be harsh on you.

So, you remember the memories?

I was kicked out of your residence by your mother.

You came to me crying

and gave this longevity lock to me.

It was raining cats and dogs.

This lock

was the only thing that kept me warm.

I've always thought of you

as my big brother.

Brother?

Only a brother?

Do you know

how I survived all these years?

On the turbulent sea,

I was surrounded by ruthless pirates.

When I was a nobody,

I was afraid that I'd be killed by the boss.

When I became a boss,

I worried that someone would stab me in the back.

All these years,

I've struggled and survived.

All because there's hope in my heart.

That I was not walking on this road alone.

That I still have a fiancee waiting for me.

That on the other end of the sea,

by the shore,

Rou is waiting for me.

But now,

you've got Sheng Chumu.

Then I become a brother to you.

But I've never...

There's no but.

You are my wife.

You will be for the rest of your life.

When you left,

I wasn't even 10 years old.

I didn't know a thing.

Besides, Father told me that

he called off our engagement.

As long as I've got this lock,

our engagement will never be off.

Give it to me.

Zifang.

I...

Zifang.

Just let me go.

Do you really love me?

Or

do you not want to accept

that what once was yours is taken away?

Some things

can't be forced.

Yes.

I don't want to accept that.

I gave up my life on the sea.

I came to Chang'an.

I acted subserviently.

All because of what you once asked of me.

And now you're asking me so casually

to let go of you.

Rou.

You're the only one that reminds me

of my old carefree self.

When I see you,

I know I am not in a dream

and that I used to be happy.

My parents loved me and cared for me.

My father betrothed you to me.

Rou, this time,

I won't do as you say.

Zifang.

Zifang.

Zifang.

Zifang.

Zifang.

Zifang.

Zifang.

Her Majesty is back.

I'm afraid His Majesty won't come here tonight.

Your Highness, your ginseng soup.

Take it away.

Yes.

Wait.

Give it to me.

Yes.

After all that she's suffered,

the Empress's getting even weaker.

I need to take care of myself.

Yan Zifang.

You're right.

She's yours.

She belongs to you!

Rou!

Directress Fu might be...

No way.

Rou is alive!

The tiger's footprints, the uniform with bloodstains,

you've seen them yourself.

I don't believe it.

I will find her even if I have to

turn this mountain upside down.

Get out of my way!

Rou!

For the sake of Fu Rou,

I don't leave you to die in the middle of nowhere.

Do you think I don't feel pain?

You feel pain. But I feel agony.

I can't stop.

I can't afford to stop.

I will find her.

Rou.

Rou.

It's me, Chumu!

Why is the light out?

♫You're too proud to care about me.♫

♫I fell into the darkness and burn my love.♫

♫Love is like poison.♫

♫If I can't let you go, then we shall wait.♫

♫My heart is pounding. I want to smile.♫

Rou!

Rou!

You still care about me.

♫You don't have to pray. Just admire my pride.♫

Right?

♫Let the sun shine on me through your airy gown,♫

♫You'll realize that love or hate doesn't matter.♫

♫We can never reach the sky.♫

Sheng Chumu has everything.

But I only have you.

♫A carefree life is nothing if I get to be with you.♫

You can't leave me.

You just can't.

♫We can't run away from destiny.♫

♫You'll realize who loves you the most.♫

Rou.

It was all my fault.

I shouldn't have let you go to the Palace.

I shouldn't have let you do that

even if I got executed for disobeying the order.

Please, God, hear my prayer!

I just want to see Rou one last time.

Please let me see her just for once.

Chumu!

Rou!

Chumu!

Why are you here?

You came.

I've been looking for you for a long time.

Rou, you're so unique.

Even if you're a ghost now,

you still feel warm.

Chumu.

Take a closer look at me!

I am not a ghost!

Shh.

Sit down.

Chumu!

I really am not...

Don't talk.

Don't let the Guardians of Hell hear you.

Or they'll take you away.

Don't worry.

I won't let anything happen to you anymore.

Don't worry.

You...

You've been looking for me?

You must be exhausted.

Get some sleep.

Rou.

Morning.

It's you!

Yes.

It's you?

I think you should leave with me.

If I wanted to leave,

I wouldn't have come here tonight.

Just leave.

Come on.

Go.

Leave.

Taste it.

This is the first time I cook.

Is it worth it?

Yan Zifang.

Just be my husband for a day,

will you?

Why are you doing this to yourself?

Just for one day.

Okay?

I don't want to act crazy with you.

Taste this.

Do you remember the song?

Even if I cry my heart out,

Yingying will not regret it.

Back then,

you asked me,

"Who's so cruel

that makes you cry your heart out?"

I shouldn't have approached you.

You regret it?

But I don't.

Last night

was all I've ever wanted.

You're leaving?

Don't worry.

I won't tell anyone about this.

I thought you'd use this against me

and ask for the cure to save your brother.

Lu Qi suffers from a brain hemorrhage.

He's been in a coma.

It's not a secret anymore.

I've been keeping an eye on Duke of Cai's Mansion.

Do you really have the cure?

Even if I did,

I wouldn't use it to save Lu Yunji's son.

What does it take for you to save my brother?

I'll do it if your father dies in front of me.

Yan Zifang.

Even I can't dissolve your hatred towards my father?

Lady Lu.

You think too highly of yourself.

You're so ruthless.

♫Getting tipsy in the moonlight.♫

♫I ask the wind to tell you I miss you.♫

♫I've been fighting the wars for all my life.♫

♫But I can't fight my feelings for you.♫

Chumu.

You're awake.

♫Frost falls on the green reed.♫

♫Time fades your beauty.♫

♫Another year has passed, my youth is gone.♫

♫The peach blossoms cover the yard.♫

♫Ah.♫

♫I wish I can keep dreaming. The world is beautiful.♫

You're alive.

I told you last night already.

I am not a ghost.

Not a ghost?

♫But it's not half as beautiful as you.♫

You're alive!

You really are alive!

♫Ah.♫

♫Let's write our love story together.♫

I've been looking for you for so long.

I know.

♫Let's spend eternity together.♫

It can't be right.

I found your uniform with bloodstains on it.

There were footprints of a tiger around it.

You...

How did you survive?

I...

You saved me.

♫Ah.♫

I'll repay your favor someday.

♫I wish I can keep dreaming. The world is beautiful.♫

Don't wait that long.

You can repay my favor now.

You have to swear that you won't

♫But it's not half as beautiful as you.♫

tell anyone that

you were held captive by Yan Zifang.

♫Ah.♫

Well...

If it gets out, he'll be killed for that.

♫Let's write our love story together.♫

You have to promise me that.

♫Let's spend eternity together.♫

I got lost in the mountains.

♫Even if it's just a dream.♫

And I met some hunters.

They gave me some clean clothes to change into.

The uniform was dirty and torn.

♫Still, seeing you is all I've ever wanted.♫

I don't know where they threw it.

But why was there blood on the uniform?

Maybe they got blood on it

when they were hunting.

Great.

Directress Fu!

Directress Fu!

Directress Fu!

Directress Fu!

Directress Fu!

Chumu, someone's here!

Directress Fu!

Quiet!

Directress Fu!

Directress Fu!

Why?

Directress Fu!

They must think you're dead.

Directress Fu!

This is your only chance to get out of the Palace.

Directress Fu!

Directress Fu!

Leave everything behind.

Go with me.

From now on,

we won't be like the cowherd and the weaver girl.

But...

But what?

We love each other.

Why should we be separated?

You can't decide who you marry.

You can only marry who Her Majesty asks you to marry.

Aren't you fed up?

Just go with me!

But, Chumu...

I can't leave my parents behind.

Even if you went with them,

could you go back to your parents?

You would stay

in the Palace and serve the royals.

Are you sure you won't

meet another man like King Liang?

Just go with me!

I...

Chumu.

I can't leave just yet.

I have to fulfill my duties.

I get it now.

It's not about your parents.

It's just I am not that important to you.

Then, just go.

Directress Fu!

She must've been eaten by a tiger.

Why are we even trying?

Let's go back and let them know.

Let's go.

Directress Fu!

Directress Fu!

Chumu.

Chu...

Chumu.

Chumu!

Are you willing to leave with me?

I am.

Take this.

From now on,

I don't have anything to do with you.

You want to give me the cure

in exchange that I forget the first man I've been with?

If you don't want that, just throw it away.

If you take that,

then it's a deal.

Yan Zifang.

If it pleases you,

I can give up my inheritance as Lu Yunji's daughter.

Just take me with you.

Wherever you go,

I, Lu Yingying,

will stay by your side forever.

Just let go of your hatred,

and take me with you.

Let's live a happier life together.

Okay?

How much hatred are you carrying?

How much sacrifice

is enough for you?

Yan Zifang, you're not a hero.

You're a coward who doesn't even have faith in yourself.

Coward!

Sheng Chumu

saved the Grand Emperor and the Empress in time.

That's a major contribution.

How do you think

I should reward him?

Your Majesty.

I think it's his duty to save people.

You don't need to reward him.

I think

those who put

the Grand Emperor

and the Empress in danger should be punished.

Your Majesty.

Lu Qi didn't guard the convoy.

I failed to teach him properly.

I am willing

to take the punishment.

Lu Qi is not guilty.

Your Majesty.

Lu Qi is not guilty.

King Liang, you don't get to decide

if Lu Qi's guilty or not.

I don't get to decide.

But the Grand Emperor does.

The Grand Emperor?

Not only did His Majesty think Lu Qi is innocent,

but he also thinks he should be rewarded.

In Great Mount Cang,

If Lu Qi hadn't covered for us regardless of his own safety,

we wouldn't have had the chance to see Your Majesty anymore.

This is written by the Grand Emperor.

He asked me to give it to Your Majesty.

Let me see it.

Is it true that Lu Qi was brave like it says here?

The Empress was there too.

Your Majesty, you can ask her later.

Your Majesty.

If it weren't for Lu Qi's negligence,

how could the guards

be crushed by those bandits?

His brave behavior

was just to compensate for his errors.

Grand Chancellor,

you are wrong.

Your Majesty.

It was not all Lu Qi's fault

that the convoy was attacked by bandits.

Send him in!

Speak.

Your Majesty.

We are General Cao's subordinates.

General Cao had always held grudges against General Lu.

So,

since Cao Yuan

was Lu Qi's lieutenant this time,

he must have been mad about it.

According to the rules,

local authorities should be informed of any convoys passing by

to arrange guards as reinforcements.

General Cao knows about this.

But he took advantage of Lu's inexperience

and didn't tell him that.

Your Majesty.

The convoy was ambushed.

Reinforcements didn't get there in time.

So, the Grand Emperor and the Empress were attacked.

It's all due to the negligence of General Cao.

Even if Cao Yuan

didn't inform local authorities,

the route of this trip was confidential.

How could they be ambushed by those hooligans?

Cao Yuan leaked the information on the route.

You need to have evidence.

One day,

General Cao pretended to be drunk at Fengtian Temple

and fell.

He broke his legs on purpose

so he could use it as an excuse to leave the convoy.

That means he'd known that there was an ambush.

If Lu Qi was the mole,

how come he almost got himself killed in Great Mount Cang?

So, Cao Yuan is the mole for sure!

Your Majesty!

It's about

the safety of the Grand Emperor and the Empress.

We need to figure out every detail.

Your Majesty.

I volunteer to lead the investigation.

You've got a lot on your plate already.

Zhan Xuanzhi said that

your academic performance

is getting worse.

You should focus on

reading and studying.

King Zhou.

King Zhou!

Yes, Father.

You'll lead the investigation on this.

Tell me if you run into any troubles.

Yes, Father.

King Liang.

This ambush

has made you grown.

You shall help King Zhou with the investigation.

Work hard

and make me proud.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Highness, for your help.

Thank you for the beautiful ladies.

Young Master Sheng

was so brave and resourceful.

It was all thanks to him.

Father.

Did you find him?

It's a felony.

We've searched everywhere.

We didn't find him.

Where the hell is he?

Directress Fu didn't make it.

Is it possible that Chumu was too sad to...

Nonsense!

Bring more men and continue the search.

Yes.

Wait.

Your brother is an officer.

He'd face serious punishment if he was absent for no reason.

Go to the Palace Gate Guard

and register some days off on his behalf.

Okay.

Wait!

What now?

Don't tell your mother about this.

What if she asked?

Tell her he's in Guangzhou.

Would she believe that?

Why wouldn't she?

Your brother used to go to Guangzhou a lot.

Is that all?

Get out of my face.

Finally, we're back in Guangzhou.

If you ask me,

we should go farther away.

Deep in the mountains.

Or,

we can buy a ship and set sail.

We didn't have much money with us.

And you've been spending a lot on the way.

Two more days,

and we won't even have money to buy food.

And you want to buy a ship?

It's easy to make money.

Let's go.

Wait.

My wife is so pretty.

You can't let those filthy men take advantage.

Who's your wife?

We're not married yet.

I'll buy some candles later.

We can consummate our marriage tonight.

I'm done talking to you.

It's just a matter of time.

Why being shy about it?

Steamed fish.

Braised chicken.

Okay.

Pork and veg.

Chu...

We'll just have the first two dishes.

Wait.

Scratch that.

We'll have

some soup and buns.

No way!

Why not?

Dear guests,

do you want soup and buns

or chicken and fish?

If you don't have money, then don't show off.

Who says I don't have money?

I'll have all the dishes I mentioned.

-Great! -Chumu!

It's fine.

Doctor Zhang.

How's he doing?

I thought you said

you got the lifesaving elixirs?

He took the elixirs.

But he's not getting better.

So, he can't be saved?

Not necessarily.

It takes time to remove the hemorrhage.

He should keep taking the elixirs

and allow them time to get to his brain.

He might wake up one day.

We can't say that for sure.

Doctor Zhang.

Take care.

Jasmine!

How many of those elixirs are left?

I don't know.

Yin treats those elixirs like her own life.

She guards the bottle so attentively

that I'm not even allowed to touch it.

It's just a meal.

And you wanted to break my arms?

Is this a gangster inn?

You tried to dine and dash. And you beat me.

Who's the gangster, you or me?

Chumu!

Let's use words, not fists.

I am using my words.

Look at me. I am strong.

What do you say I work for you?

If anyone dares to dine and dash again,

I'll kick their ass for you.

It's...

What do you say?

Fine.

We can discuss it.

My lady.

Is my brother getting better?

I followed your order

and gave him one elixir a day.

But he's not recovering.

But the doctor said that

as long as we keep doing it, there's still hope.

My lady.

Who gave you the elixirs?

Why do you want to know?

There's only one elixir left.

I think...

If you can ask for another bottle...

Another bottle?

Unfortunately,

I only had one chance

to ask for this lifesaving elixir.

I may not be able to get more.

I shouldn't have asked that.

It's so valuable.

It's hard enough for you to even get one bottle.

And yet I'm asking you for more.

It's not your fault.

It's just that

I'm not as valuable as I thought I'd be.

My lady.

Is there anything on your mind?

My mind is elsewhere.

There's nothing on my mind.

My brother was injured.

I've been in a bad mood.

So, I tend to misspeak.

Yin.

Take care of my brother.

I'm counting on you.

Come have a drink with me.

Come.

Mother.

During the days you were missing,

Me and Queen Han,

we couldn't sleep nor eat.

We've been worried about you every moment.

Mother.

Please don't leave me behind anymore.

Come on.

Mother is back now.

Let's wish Mother

great health, longevity, and fortune.

Less than three years?

Great!

Let's drink.

Longevity or not,

it's written in our destiny.

As long as you get along

and help your father wholeheartedly,

then I will count myself blessed.

Your Highness,

you need to look after your brothers.

Mother, rest assured.

I will.

I will try my best to assist His Highness.

Great.

Mother.

When is Directress Fu back?

She tells the most amazing stories.

Speaking of which,

I never noticed any difference when she was here.

Now that she's gone,

I feel that something is missing.

Not only did King Qin ask about her,

but Consort Dowager Su also asked about her.

King Han.

Are there really tigers in Great Mount Cang that attack people?

Mother.

There are indeed many beasts there.

We've had men looking for her for days

without any luck,

I'm afraid she won't make it this time.

Such a pity.

Mother.

We're here to celebrate your safe return.

Let's forget about the sad stuff.

After dinner,

I'll have a walk with you in the garden.

King Zhou is leading the investigation\n of the Great Mount Cang incident?

Yes.

I couldn't stop him.

His Majesty had planned to marry Directress Fu to him.

I persuaded him not to.

Seems that His Majesty is trying to

compensate King Zhou.

It is already against the rules

to let him stay in Chang'an.

Now he's interfering with state affairs.

Father must be getting old.

Shut up.

Watch your mouth.

I just felt angry.

I only say this in front of you.

You can't say this in front of anyone!

Remember this.

You're the Crown Prince.

You can't afford to be impetuous.

I understand.

Mother.

Can you think of some way

to get Zhan Xuanzhi out of my place?

I know.

Zhan Xuanzhi can be quite harsh.

But he's good for you.

Harsh would be a compliment to him.

He scolds me like I am a nobody.

He often tears me off a strip.

He even thinks

I act too extravagantly

just cuz my outfit is colorful.

I can't stand him.

My son.

You were born the heir of a king.

When His Majesty ascended the throne,

you became the Crown Prince.

You've never had any real obstacles.

You need someone like Zhan Xuanzhi around

to remind you.

Your father asks him to stay by your side

out of serious consideration.

Mother.

I just really...

Kaiqing!

Yes, Mother.

My son.

I am worried about you.

Do you know that?

My dear son.

The Cao Residence

Take him!

Move.

Go.

I'm innocent.

I'll let you talk

when we're there

if you want to justify yourself.

Take him.

Yes.

Move.

I am innocent!

Search the place.

Yes.
