Chu Chu cleared her name of the daughter of a rebel.

Go to Chang’an to suppress the bandits

The 20,000 loyal souls in Jiannan have been proved to be innocent.

The vicious Qin Luan has been executed.

Xue Rucheng.

It’s going to be our battle next.

Leng’s Mansion

Leng’s Mansion

Leng’s Mansion

You stand behind me in the middle of the night without saying a word.

Are you pretending to be a ghost?

Since you are here,

why don’t you go in and take a look?

Don’t you see the door locked?

We climbed the wall when we were four.

Now we have practiced martial arts

but you start to look for the key.

I just want to go in through the front door.

Why do you care?

Welcome Miss Leng back home.

How do you have the key to my house?

General Leng rewarded it to me.

I was going to clean it up first before taking you here.

But it’s all right you come here first.

See if there is anything you need

and I will buy them for you.

This was my grandpa’s mansion.

He gave it to my father.

I was born here.

After I moved to Princess Xiping’s Mansion,

Grandpa dismissed

all his servants

and locked the mansion.

After that, he only lived in the hostel when he came back to meet His Majesty.

I thought

he had sold the mansion.

I didn’t expect this place to still remain the same.

I think he is afraid to come back,

to remind himself of my father

and the time when our families

were living together.

General Leng told me

that he left this mansion to you.

He hopes you can let him stay here

when he comes back to Chang’an next time.

He really wants to go back to his house.

He wants to see you when he comes back

and see that you are living a good life.

Jing Yi.

Thank you.

I just passed on a message for him.

You don’t need to thank me.

When you two were talking,

he must’ve made you drink a lot, right?

It’s no big deal to drink some white liquor for you.

I thought

he was going to make me bleed.

Jing Yi, come here.

=Episode 35=

Three Judicial Offices

I have a solution.

Your Highness, let’s get married.

What?

You said you would marry me.

Do you want to take back your words now?

No.

Heaven knows that I want to marry you.

But why do you

mention this suddenly?

I’ve thought about it.

As long as we get married,

what has been troubling you

will be solved then.

You are a relative of the Emperor, a Commandery Prince

and a high-ranking official.

If you get married,

the royal family and other high-ranking officials

will all come to congratulate you.

The Three Judicial Offices will be crowded with visitors.

Then when those rebels come,

we can arrest them

without attracting attention.

Chu Chu, I understand

that you want to help me.

I also want to find a good way

to suppress those rebels who sneaked into Chang’an.

But,

I can’t use our wedding as a bait.

Why not?

Marrying you as my wife

is the beginning of the rest of our lives together.

It’s an extremely precious thing to me.

I should have spent more time with you to enjoy our love life.

But I was suspicious of you first,

then I got you involved in

those dangerous cases

and put you in danger again and again.

You’ve suffered a lot.

I know you don’t blame me.

But...

But that’s because you are kind and generous.

I can’t take that for granted.

I owe it to you.

If our wedding also becomes a bait,

it will be unfair to you.

Your Highness, from what you said,

you mean my idea

can work, right?

That’s great it can work.

Chu Chu.

Your Highness, I don’t care about the wedding

as long as you are the groom.

I never felt it’s unfair.

If marrying you can help you,

I’m willing to marry you once a day.

Besides, it’s a great thing

if we can wipe out those rebels

on our wedding day.

Think about it.

You are a judge in Tang.

And I am a coroner.

If we can arrest those rebels

on our wedding day,

that can be an auspicious sign.

It forebodes after we get married,

we can solve every case and win every battle.

But...

Your Highness, I can’t bear

to see you feel troubled.

So I’m willing to do it.

You want to use your wedding

as a bait to entrap Xue Rucheng?

Yes.

Since you proposed it to me,

you must have figured out how to do it.

You only asked me to grant you a marriage.

You haven’t told me

which girl you want to marry.

Do you want me to pick a random girl for you?

I dare not bother Your Majesty.

I have someone I like.

You do?

That’s strange.

Which girl?

I beg Your Majesty to allow me to marry Chu Chu,

the daughter of Yun Yi,

the former Military Commissioner of Jiannan.

The daughter of Yun Yi?

The daughter of Yun Yi...

The female corner, Chu Chu,

who you signed the certificate for in person?

Exactly.

Xiao Jinyu.

You are telling me you want to marry a coroner as your wife?

Don’t forget your identity.

I am Tang’s official

and Your Majesty’s courtier.

Then forget about

such a disgraceful thing!

Your Majesty, you once praised her

in the official document

for helping me solve the case.

Now I want to marry a woman you appreciate,

why is it a disgraceful matter?

Can you marry

all the women I appreciate?

One’s capability and identity

are two different things.

Don’t try to resort to sophistry.

You are a first-rank Commandery Prince.

She’s a coroner.

You two

are living in different worlds!

Not to mention you want to marry her as your wife,

even you want to take her as your concubine,

it’s still against the etiquette.

You are in charge of the Three Judicial Offices.

Do you need me to teach you the etiquette?

Your Majesty.

Xiao Jinyu.

Don’t tell me the nonsense

that you are in love.

I’ve also been at your age.

A young man like you

can only see the romance.

Do you know why marriage

has always been an important thing since ancient times?

That’s because after getting married,

you will share your joys and sorrows, glory and shame together.

You will sink or swim with her.

Have you ever thought about

sharing weal or woe with a coroner?

Have you really thought it through for her?

With her status,

how should she live with herself among those noble ladies?

Do you think our ancestors laid down the etiquette

just because of a momentary inspiration?

These are the lessons they learned and summarized

after their painful experiences.

Since these lessons

came from their experiences,

if I may be so bold as to ask Your Majesty,

did these people ever regret

when they were suffering?

If they did,

did they regret

marrying the one they love

or failing to keep the promise

and treat each other as before?

How dare you!

Your Majesty, since there are lessons from our predecessors,

I will remind myself all the time

not to repeat their mistakes.

I hope you can allow me to marry her.

Well, Xiao Jinyu.

They all said you are young by prudent.

I didn’t expect you to act like a child in this matter.

Never mind.

But I have a condition.

You should know it.

Your Majesty.

Certificate of Coroner

Certificate of Coroner It was really hard for you to get

the certificate issued by

the Ministry of Personnel and the Three Judicial Offices.

I know how important it is to you.

Therefore, Chu Chu,

I can’t marry you now.

Your Highness.

You wanted to give up your title to be with me, right?

If we want to arrest the rebels,

we have to make sacrifices, right?

Then why can’t it be me?

Everything you’ve got now

is the result

of your own efforts.

You put in a lot more efforts than I did.

Don’t worry.

I can figure out another solution.

That will be too late.

There is no better way than this.

Chu Chu.

Your Highness, the identity of the coroner

is important to me indeed.

I tried really hard to become a formal coroner

not because I want to

hold the certificate in my hand,

but because I want to be like my grandfather, my father, my brother

and the constable in the Prince Consort’s story.

I want to be qualified

to eradicate the evil people

and get justice done.

If giving up

my identity as a coroner

can wipe out those rebels in one fell swoop

and save the people in Tang,

then I would rather give it up.

Please allow me to do it.

Chu Chu is the descendant of a loyal general.

Your father had been

trying to exonerate the Military Commissioner of Jiannan

until his death.

You brought the evidence all the way back to Chang’an

to reveal the truth.

In this way,

you do have some sort of connection with the Yun family.

Marrying Yun Yi’s daughter as your wife

can be a consolation

to those loyal martyrs.

You deserve to be praised.

It does make a good story.

Xiao Jinyu, if you insist on marrying Chu Chu,

I can grant you two a marriage.

Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!

It’s rare for us to hang out together.

The sugar figure is the best at the west market.

Let me buy one for you.

Sir, I’ll have one.

Here. Take it.

Long live Duke Chang!

Long live Duke Chang!

Long live Duke Chang!

Long live Duke Chang!

Long live Duke Chang!

Jing Yi, look there.

Long live Duke Chang!

Long live Duke Chang!

We are from the Court of Judicial Review.

Duke Chang retakes the stolen country There are words on his clothes.

Yeah.

It’s a miracle!

What’s written on it?

Duke Chang retakes the stolen country

Duke Chang retakes the stolen country

It must be a miracle from heaven.

Yeah.

It’s amazing.

That’s impressive.

How did Commandery Prince An know

that there will be people playing tricks

in a crowded place in Chang’an

and making these strange things

related to Duke Chang?

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang hid a message in a fish at the end of Qin Dynasty.

Duke Chang retakes the stolen country It’s an old trick used by our ancestors,

but also a necessary step to rise in rebellion.

That’s how they buy people’s hearts.

Commandery Prince An knows

that Xue Rucheng wouldn’t miss this step.

It’s aconitum.

He died of poison.

But the words on him

really came out of nowhere.

That’s pretty strange.

It’s not strange at all.

It’s a little trick of a juggler.

Juggler?

The gift for Xiao Jinyu has been prepared.

You only need to make the order.

Go ahead.

Yes.

The Imperial City

Wait!

What’s this?

Open it.

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

Your Highness.

Calm down. Wu Jiang told me

that someone threw Xu Rugui

on the street behind the Three Judicial Offices, right?

Yes. General Wu is afraid that I will get hurt.

He won’t let me see Xu.

I’ve checked the ruts at the gate.

I found some moist lees.

It might be a carriage of a distillery in the city.

Distillery?

Your Highness, Xu Rugui is awake.

Your Highness.

Did Xu Rugui go in the Three Judicial Offices?

Yes. Please rest assured.

The plan is perfect.

By the way,

Xiao Jinyu asked the Emperor to grant him a marriage.

He will get married two days later.

The Emperor, the royal family members and the ministers

will all attend the wedding at Princess Xiping’s Mansion.

Who will he marry? That coroner?

Yes.

I heard that in order to marry Xiao Jinyu,

that girl gave up being a coroner.

I thought

she was an aspiring woman.

Looks like

everyone will make the same choice

in the face of wealth.

But this time,

it’s not up to her to be a coroner or not.

Of course.

Everything is under your control.

Where’s Zhou Han?

He went off on the errand you gave him.

Send someone to keep an eye on him.

He is an unfaithful slave

and an opportunist.

He is totally unreliable.

Yes.

He seems to have been frightened.

He is barely conscious

and very weak.

He is also having a fever.

Save me. Save me.

Be quiet.

I didn’t handcuff you because you look weak.

Don’t handcuff me...

You won’t be this comfortable if you don’t stay quiet.

Don’t...

I’ll be quiet.

Your Highness, it doesn’t look like

he caught a cold.

If he has some wounds that weren’t treated properly,

he might die

if the injury gets worse.

Wu Jiang, hold him down.

Go ahead.

Chu Chu, save me. Chu Chu, save me.

Don’t move. I’ll just check your wound.

Xu Rugui, look at me.

I’ll ask you a few questions.

Think carefully

before you answer me.

Only in this way can I know how to save you.

Do you understand me?

Yes. Yes.

Your Highness, something went wrong.

Jing Yi exposed our miracle in public at the west market.

Long live Duke Chang!

What’s going on?

It’s a little trick of a juggler.

Juggler?

Liquor Vinegar

What is he doing?

What does he want to do?

What is he doing?

I can’t tell.

I just smelled lime

on him.

Lime generates heat when exposed to water.

He just played a trick of hiding the words with vinegar.

Come on, let me show it to you.

Leng Yue.

What?

Pour the lime on me.

Don’t worry.

I’ll be fine.

He imitated us and used vinegar to write.

Lime generates heat when exposed to water.

He used it to warm the clothes

and make the words show up.

Look. There are words!

Wish to win one’s heart The words are showing up!

Wish to win one’s heart He wrote a love poem.

The people are all talking about his romance.

No one cares about

the words we left.

The so-called miracle is not a crucial factor,

but the icing on the cake.

It’s just like when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang spread rumors

through fish and fox,

and Empress Wu Zetian used stone to buy people’s hearts.

After I kill the tyrant

and ascend the throne as the rightful emperor,

the people in Chang’an will know

how they have been deceived over the years.

Give them my order.

Make this loyalist Marquis Zhongyi.

Treat his wife and children generously.

Yes!

Everything is ready now.

Let them keep struggling for a while.

After the hourglass runs out,

take your place

and let’s wait to catch turtles in the pot.

I swear allegiance to Your Highness.

Do you know

who left you at the gate of the Three Judicial Offices?

I don’t know.

On my way back from Qianzhou,

I was abducted by the bandits.

When I woke up, I found myself in Chang’an already.

They kept me in several different places.

But they covered my head every time.

I don’t know who they are

and where I have been.

If you don’t know where they kept you,

how do you know that you are in Chang’an?

There were drums.

There were drums at dawn.

Drums at dawn in Chang’an.

Did you hear

any other special sound?

Or did you smell

anything special?

Smell...

Liquor I smelled...

I smelled lees.

Is it a tavern?

It’s not a tavern.

I ran a tavern before.

They are lees.

The smell of lees from a distillery.

What else?

And...

When I went out,

I heard someone yelling...

Charcoal!

Good.

Keep thinking.

What food did they give you during this time?

Was there any food that you are familiar with?

Like you ate before in a restaurant in Chang’an

or at the stall in the street?

They... They only gave me

pickles and steamed buns.

And water.

And a lot of medicine.

Medicine?

Were they treating you?

I don’t know. It’s just medicine.

It’s really bitter. A lot of medicine.

They made me take medicine every day.

When I didn’t want to take it, they just poured it down me.

Good. Good.

What else can you remember?

Any detail.

Whatever you’ve seen, heard,

smelled, tasted.

Anything you felt.

Before I went out this time,

they didn’t give me steamed buns.

What?

They made me eat a ball.

But they wouldn’t let me bite it.

I swallowed it down. It was big.

To prevent me from biting it,

they grabbed me by the mouth and shoved it in.

Shoved it in...

Shoved it in...

The ball... The ball...

Your Highness.

There are only a few stab wounds on him

caused by fighting with others.

The wounds are not infected.

But it’s so weird.

He doesn’t show any symptoms of wind chill.

Theoretically,

he shouldn’t have a fever for no reason.

Xu Rugui.

Were you having a fever

before you ate the ball?

No.

I got in the carriage,

the carriage was swaying

and I started to feel sick... sick...

Your Highness, what’s going on?

You guys.

Yes!

Keep an eye on him. Don’t let him move.

Pay attention to his condition.

Let me know immediately if anything goes wrong.

Yes!

Help me... Help me...

I plead guilty.

Help me...

Chang’an

Your Highness, what’s this?

Xu Rugui must’ve been sent by Xue Rucheng.

He took Xu Rugui captive

to make Qin Luan work for him.

Now Qin Luan is dead.

Xu Rugui is useless for him now.

He was

supposed to kill Xu Rugui.

But now he sent Xu Rugui here alive.

He must be up to something.

Wu Jiang, pass my order down quickly.

Ask those who went out

to report back to me all the information

they gathered.

I want every detail. You must hurry.

Yes.

I am back.

What’s this?

This is the miracle Xue Rucheng

showed at the west market.

Aconitum

with the trick of the juggler.

It’s really perfunctory.

Where is that person?

He has been sent to the autopsy room.

Your Highness, I heard

that Xu Rugui was left at the gate of Three Judicial Offices.

Is he still alive?

It’s a little troublesome.

Leng Yue.

I need you to take a look at Xu Rugui.

What’s the situation?

Chu Chu will tell you the details.

Okay.

Okay.

Your Highness.

This is all the news we found today.

Ancestral Hall of the Xiao Family

Ancestral Hall of the Xiao Family?

Ancestral Hall?

Yes.

Our person who went to follow Zhou Han today reported back

that Zhou Han showed up around

the Ancestral Hall of the Xiao Family with some men.

They were sneaky.

Looks like they were...

Casing the joint?

Right.

Casing the joint?

Why would they case the joint at that place?

There are only the spirit tablets of your ancestors.

Even Xue Rucheng is pissed off by you,

he won’t vent his anger by destroying your family’s ancestral hall

at such a critical time.

How is it?

It looks like symptoms

of being poisoned by a small amount of castor bean.

From his condition now,

he will have a fever and nausea at most.

Even if he doesn’t take any medicine,

he won’t die.

Did Xue Rucheng send him here

just to let us see him suffer?

What kind of trick is this?

Does Xue Rucheng want to use him to stall us

so that we can’t find out his plan?

I don’t know.

I don’t know anything.

I really don’t know.

Let’s talk outside.

What did you call Xu Rugui?

A weapon?

I’m afraid he can’t even

hold a spoon now.

What kind of weapon can he be?

Do you remember I said

that Xue Rucheng is waiting for a chance?

Sending Xu Rugui here

should be a chance he made.

Is it the chance

that can gather the royal family members

and the important officials?

That’s right.

What are you talking about?

Why can’t I understand your words?

Your Highness.

What do you think

Xue Rucheng sent Xu Rugui

to the Three Judicial Offices to do?

To kill me.

I got it.

If you are killed because of this,

the Emperor will highly commend you.

Plus the case of the Prince Consort,

in order to comfort Princess Xiping and Xiao Jinli,

he will bring his family members and the courtiers

to visit the Xiao family’s ancestral hall in person.

That’s the chance Xue Rucheng wants to create.

That’s why you said

Zhou Han showed up around the ancestral hall

to case the joint.

They are frantic indeed.

I won’t allow him to hurt you.

I’ll tie him up now!

Come back.

It’s not that simple.

I don’t know

what exactly Xue Rucheng

did to Xu Rugui,

but the key

must be the ball he fed him.

Your Highness, do you suspect that the ball is poisonous?

Do you remember

how Xu Rugui described

the way he ate the ball?

They wanted him to swallow it.

They didn’t let him chew it

or give him any water.

I suspect

that there is something inside the ball.

Now he is digesting the outer layer.

After the outer layer is completely digested,

it’s hard to tell what’s inside.

No matter what it is,

the top priority is to send Xu Rugui away

as far as possible.

Yeah, Your Highness.

Jing Yi is right!

The top priority is to send Xu Rugui away.

Your Highness, even if it’s a bomb

inside the ball that will explode,

as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone when it blows up,

Xue Rucheng’s trick...

Chu Chu, it’s a life-and-death matter.

We can’t have it both ways.

Your Highness, can I have a try?

Try what?

I want to take the ball out

before its outer layer is digested.

You want to cut Xu Rugui open alive?

No.

I just want to

take that thing out

like treating a patient.

But, Chu Chu,

a living person is not like a dead man.

Not to mention Xu Rugui is really weak now.

We don’t know if he can take it.

And… he is your uncle.

What if...

Your Highness, Xu Rugui is a criminal wanted by the imperial court.

Whether he is dead or alive,

it should be determined by the law of the court.

He shouldn’t be manipulated by Xue Rucheng.

If he died of that ball,

whether it hurts anyone or not,

the winner will still be Xue Rucheng.

If I cut him open and take out the ball,

disrupt their conspiracy

and bring them to justice,

then the winner will be us.

Your Highness, I would like to help Chu Chu.

Leng Yue, it’s too dangerous.

Your Highness, I think Chu Chu has a point.

She knows the structure of the human body very well.

I know some medical skills.

With my help, the chances of keeping him alive are bigger.

Thank you, Miss Leng.

Your Highness.

I don’t know what to do with you.

Go and return quickly.

I’ve asked His Majesty to grant us a marriage.

We will get married a few days later.

There are still many things to prepare.

Okay, I will prepare it now.

Wu Jiang.

Ask someone to carry Xu Rugui to the autopsy room.

Follow Chu Chu and Leng Yue’s orders.

Yes.

What’s more,

leave ten guards at the Ten-Commandment Hall

and strictly guard the courtyard.

Leave two guards at the door of the autopsy room

to act in concert with Chu Chu and Leng Yue anytime.

The rest of them should all leave.

No one is allowed to approach

the Ten-Commandment Hall without my order.

Yes!

Jing Yi, you should leave too.

Your Highness.

You are all here. Where can I go?

I don’t care.

No matter what kind of danger it is,

I will be with you all.

I’m going to support Chu Chu and Leng Yue.

The anesthesia powder is ready.

Let me do it.

Map of Chang’an

The rebels are hiding in various places in Chang’an.

Xue Rucheng knows that I’m back to Chang’an.

He dare not move around right now.

Xu Rugui is an important bargaining chip of his.

Guangde

He had to keep him under his nose

to feel at ease.

Liquor

Charcoal!

The charcoal seller. Lees.

A distillery

that a charcoal seller passes by.

A place where the dawn drum can be heard.

It should be near the Drum Tower.

The deceased who took poison and faked the miracle at the west market

had oil stains on his cuffs.

He had scones before he died

Take it.

-Thank you. -There are shavings used to

absorb moisture in the container under his soles,

which means he went to

a warehouse for storing valuable goods.

-Thank you. Thank you. -Go away.

The gathering place of the rebels must be in the area

Fengle where the three lines intersect.

Go get Jing Yi here.

-And send someone to -Yes.

Princess Xiping’s Mansion and ask Jinli to come here.

Yes.
