Original subtitles

I've been searching for you for 12 years.

You used the Ran family as a cover

to find that item!

That was my mission!

After I got it,

in order to ensure it's safety I hid it within a memorial tablet in the ancestral shrine.

I never expected that

a little girl like you would discover it.

And I never thought in my wildest dreams,

that this secret...

would be discovered by your Mother!

It was you who caused my father's

business to fail right?

I arranged it.

What about my grandmother?

Surely you did not...

She had already reached an elderly age.

So what if I used her?

My Father never expected that

he married a poisonous snake like you!

In order to achieve my goal,

I can sacrifice anyone!

Do you still refuse to say anything?

Are you not afraid I will hurt Ran Yan?

She is still so young and adorable.

You don't need to say anything if you're not afraid she will die.

Tell me.

That thing...

I left it with an important person.

Who is it?

Hurry and save her! Save her!

If you do not say anything now I will kill Ran Yan now!

That person will return that item when Yan'er is 18 years of age.

After your Mother died, I moved her body to the river.

And wrote a suicide note using her handwriting.

So everyone will believe she committed suicide.

I thought I could hide the truth in that way.

I never expected that

you believed that she didn't commit suicide!

So you went to find that monk Wu,

and told my Father that I would only bring catastrophe in my wake.

Sending me to the ancillary building.

You never expected

I've been searching for my Mother's body all this time.

So you bribed Monk Wu and got him to lie to Father

that my Mother must be buried

underneath the ancestral temple in order to protect the family from me!

It's been 12 years.

You thought everything would end.

You never expected 12 years later

that I would investigate the bracelet,

and Ran Yan accidentally found out that

her Mother died at the wrestling venue.

And also the secret that her Mother's bracelet had been switched.

You knew the truth would come out

so you hurriedly brought a new bracelet to replace it

and threw Ran Yan’s Mother's bracelet into the bog.

You thought you could conceal the truth,

it's a shame..

As long as you have done it, there will be traces.

And the truth will definitely be revealed one day!

Your Mother lied to me

that on your 18th birthday

someone will deliver that item back.

But no-one ever came.

That day you coincidentally came back,

so I pretended to be a ghost

and lured you to find it.

It was only when you went to the Qingli brothel,

did I discover that

I was fooled by your Mother!

It turns out that she did that

to protect your life!

That day,

I ordered my subordinate,

to retrieve that item from your room.

I never expected that the item you protected with your life

was a jade fox!

It seems your Mother was sure that

after you turn 18

you will be able to beat me

My Mother was right!

Don't kill my mother!

Ran Yan!

Elder sister!

I am begging you, no matter what she has done, she is my Mother!

Don't kill her I am begging you!

Mei Yu don't beg her!

Although I didn't kill your Mother

but I forced her to die.

She died in a sorry state!

She was beaten so badly she spat out blood.

She was tortured!

Even now I cannot forget

that painful look in her eyes before she died.

Your Mother only died

in order to protect you!

Do you now want to seek revenge?

You!

Yan'er...

You must remember...

Although there are bad people in the world,

but there is justice too.

All the crimes...

and sins...

should not be judged by us,

instead it should be determined by the law.

I would rather see you locked up in prison

and become someone useless.

You will never see that day!

Mei Yu!

Mei Yu.

Look after yourself!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother.

Do you see that?

I finally sought revenge for you.

You can finally rest in peace now.

Lord Xiao.

The item in Mistress Gao's hands...

That thing..

was just a fake.

As Mistress Gao likes it so much

then let’s bury it with her.

Bai Yu purposefully lost the real box.

So that your people can take it.

Then my falcon Fei Yang

would follow him in the air.

That way Bai Yi can find the gathering points for the Huoqi alliance in Suzhou.

And then Bai Yi gave the fake box

to my people.

When he came to fight me,

we purposefully threw it at Mistress Gao

forcing her to reveal her true skill.

And lure the snake out of it's lair.

I killed two birds with one stone.

seems Fei Yang managed to lead Bai Yi to the Huoqi alliance.

Chief we got the box.

Our plan succeeded!

Fire the arrows!

Chase!

it seems the Bai Yi has successfully quashed the

gathering point of the Huoqi alliance in Suzhou.

A fake tool

helped me to kill 2 birds with one arrow.

I have to thank you,

Assassin,

Li.

Xiao Fish! You used me!

i was sincerely trying to help you, how could you say I'm using you?

It seems like you knew his real identity long ago!

Guards!

Here!

Who dares to touch him?

Fox move it!

Xiao fish I don't want money this time,

let him go!

You're already my wife!

I am sorry,

in my heart

there is only space for him.

Let them go.

Let them go!

Slow down!

Where is your medicine?

It turns out your wound has never healed.

You are so heavily injured,

why did you not tell me?

I thought...

I thought you did not want me.

When I found out

you were marrying Xiao Song,

I thought you didn't want me.

Are they from that assassin group you belong to?

Don't be afraid.

Come with me.

Be careful.

Let's go.

Stop

Foolish woman! He doesn't love you at all, just using you!

He only got close to you in order to get the Marquis of Sui's pearl!

Is it true

what he said?

Why do you not answer me?

So everything you did

was simply a lie?

Don't touch me!

Why do you not say anything? Why do you not explain?!

You...

Why did you become a heartless killer?

I was a Shu son as soon as I was born.

I have a father but it's as if I don't.

And have a family but as if I don't.

We're so similar.

How do you know I like osmanthus cake?

Can I finally stop drifting around because I have you?

Just want to seclude myself in your heart

In order to save you,

he cut off the flesh on the tip of his heart to act as the catalyst!

Your troubles are cured without medicine

Let me console the worries creasing your brow

Su Fu only disappeared

because he believed that he was no match for you.

Give me another chance.

Let’s be together.

I will not disappoint you again.

Let's depend on each other until we grow old

I've woken up now.

This dream..

I will wake up from it completely.

Let's depend on each other until we grow old

Fermenting the red beans of love

Each one is like an amber piece of time

Each line and stroke sketches the shadow of your smile

Ran Yan.

I am sorry.

Forget about me.

Can I finally stop drifting around because I have you?

Just want to seclude myself in your heart

Use my company as the catalyst for your antidote

Your troubles are cured without medicine

Let me console the worries creasing your brow

Ignoring the bustling and the gossip

As you betrayed the organization,

you must bear the consequences.

You are my disciple,

I do not want to kill you.

But...for a woman you

caused the Huoqi alliance to almost become extinct!

Even if you die,

will not let that woman off!

Let's depend on each other until we grow old

Fermenting the red beans of love

Each one is like an amber piece of time

Let's depend on each other until we grow old

Embrace each other until we grow old

Finished crying?

You've given him up?

Use the rest of our lives to sketch it

I will.

I can be at ease now that you're well.

Thank you.

Thank you for being so kind to me

when I pretended to be a madwoman.

I only want to protect you.

But I am a fox who likes her freedom.

I don't want to be restrained.

I have to go.

You have to return to Chang’an so soon?

It is hard to defy His Majesty's orders.

What? Don't want me to leave?

If you don't want me to leave,

why don’t you come back to Chang'an with me?

What can I do in Chang'an?

I've always wanted to discover the truth behind the deaths of my two wives.

Why don't you help me?

The two of us, one of us investigate it, the other examines the body,

we're a good match.

Xiao fish, can’t you be serious?

Fox.

Close your eyes.

Why?

It's present time.

So old fashioned.

As I thought you can't forget about him.

Fox.

You are free now.

You must lead a happy life.

Xiao fish. What’s taking you so long?

I'm opening my eyes.

[Divorce settlement]

[Xiao Song]

[Ran Manor]

Why are you coming back for?

You've already destroyed the family.

Are you still unsatisfied?

I came...to thank you.

Are you trying to mock me?

Thank you for giving me life.

And for bringing me to this world.

Go.

Go, go as far you can.

I'll just pretend that I never had a daughter like you.

It was because Xiao Song threatened that Monk Wu,

who lied to me saying you’re not a harbringer of misfortune, that was why I let you back.

But right now...

I have nothing!

Leave! I do not want to see you ever again!

If it was not for you,

Lord Xiao will not despise me.

If it was not for you,

the Ran family will not fall into ruin.

if it was not for you,

my Mother will not die.

Ran Yan..

I will take everything I've lost back from you!

A divorce settlement?

Even Lord Xiao has abandoned you.

It looks like you've become a abandoned wife.

He left me to make the decision.

You are the who makes the decision?

Which means...

If you sign it, you will divorce.

If you do not sign it, you will be his wife?

Lord Xiao is so amazing!

You can flirt in such a way

Pack our things.

Miss where are you going?

Chang'an.

Miss.

Are we truly going to Chang'an?

I want to take a look around Chang'an.

And find my cousin as well.

Perhaps...

they need a female examiner there too.

Female examiner?

It looks like it's for that fish.

Good! Good!

So this is Chang'an.

Miss, wait for me

There are so many people here, the sounds of people fill the air.

It is full of grandeur!

The women in Chang'an even ride horses!

Wan Lv look here.

There are monks from the western regions.

It's so lively!

Smells so nice!

Come buy a dessert.

Thanks, no need.

Look over there!

This is a normal egg.

will put it on this plate

And blow on it, come.

Good!

Good!

Have you seen my miss?

Is she there?

Look.

There are camels there!

Stop it! It's more important to find Miss!

Good!

Miss! Over there!

Take a look!

Uncle Wu hurry up!

I have not seen someone as shameless as you.

As soon as you hear we are coming to Chang'an, you insist on coming along.

I am appointed as a scholar at the Hong Wen academy,

so we're going the same way.

I've been curious all this time.

for every transport we took,

who do you think paid?

It's probably the girl's cousin.

I heard he is a rich man, right?

Not right.

Not right, who is it then?

I wonder if this cousin will accept me.

I haven’t even started eating, you....

So Miss Ran likes goose wings.

Then of course I have to let you have it.

Give me the backside!

The phrases Miss Ran uses are so easy to comprehend.

Miss....that's mine.

It's missing something!

Girl, this is Chang'an city, take care of your behavior!

Owner!

Get over here!

How many legs do geese have?

Of course they have two.

Then why is mine missing a leg?

Turns out we are eating a geese with one leg.

It is natural for a geese to be missing a leg sometimes.

But someone has already paid for your meal.

You may eat as soon as you finish.

Someone has paid for it once again?

Although the meal has been paid

but a person should be honest!

So...

Pay me the money it costs for a leg!

I do admire anyone except my Miss' ability to make money!

Guards!

Look, you caused trouble! Resolve it!

You want me Merchant Jia to compensate you?

No way!

Attack!

Girl you caused this trouble

you must bear responsibility!

Hit them!

You try touching us!

Stop.

Master Ran.

Merchant Jia,

this is my clan sister.*

Miss apologies for the rudeness.

Everyone enjoy.

Dance! Continue to dance!

Move, move, go, go.

Hurry! Go!

You're already an adult, yet you still get into trouble.

Look what I brought you.

Wan Lv!

You child..

Why is there another one?

Foolish boy.

That's not a love rival! He's her cousin from the paternal side.

He's called Ran Yun Sheng!

It's broad daylight, it looks improper!

What are you afraid of? You're my brother/cousin!

Cousin?

Luckily it's not a love rival, I am finally revived!

[Hall for discourse]

Good.

You managed to get rid of the gathering point of the Huoqi alliance in Suzhou and contributed important service!

Xiao Song,

not only did you discover the lamb skin that contains the secret of the Marquis Sui's pearl.

And used the chance to eradicate the Huoqi alliance.

You truly are my capable minister!

Actually the Neiwei department

was a department meant to serve the families of important nobles,

yet they are dragged into this fight for the pearl.

This will affect the security of the Tang kingdom.

You must find the mastermind behind this.

I've sent someone to investigate quietly.

The characters on the lambskin,

I've found so many people

yet none of them are able to translate it.

Your Majesty.

I have someone to recommend to you, perhaps he recognizes it.

Who?

Sang Chen.

Lord Xiao.

Thank you for inviting me to this meal.

Please sit.

Alright.

Have well have you settled in at the Hong Wen academy? /

I am not bad.

It looks like you do not wish to enter the world of politics.

The political world is full of conspiracy.

It's as bad as a fierce monster.

If His Majesty is that fierce tiger,

then those ministers are like hungry wolves.

As soon as you throw me, this little rabbit to them,

I'll immediately be their feast.

I believe not even a bone will be left.

Are you not afraid of the consequence of saying that?

There is no-one around, what are you afraid of?

Besides we have been acquainted since Suzhou.

I know what you are like.

You are not someone who cannot keep secrets and report these things.

You must be careful.

The walls may have ears.

I have entered the Hong Wen academy now.

Although I do not understand politics,

but I have learned so much from the ancient scrolls and texts there.

My trip to Chang'an did not go to waste this time.

You have studied many books since young,

so you must have knowledge in many areas.

I do not carry much knowledge, there is so much to learn of this rich world.

I understand some foreign languages too.

For example the painting on the wall.

The language is the one used by the nomads,

It should be talking about...

It is the story of the female foreign dancer right*?

My Lord you are incorrect.

It is clearly talking about the way they trade.

As expected from a genius.

Then that map....

That is the Sasanian empire (Iran), a weak country.

Then....

do you recognize the language on this painting?

That is a type of writing used in the Qin dynasty*.

Only it has disappeared long ago.

Even you do not recognize it.

I do not know how to read it.

Then is there anyone

in this world who can read this language?

In my recollection,

I know there is one person who does.

Except I cannot remember so suddenly.

I will tell you when I check the records in the Hong Wen academy.

Are you not going to check it now?

Now?

Now.

My Lord did you not invite me over to welcome me and to celebrate my arrival?

That's right.

But I have not eaten yet.

Then may I take it back with me?

What do you think?

will go back now to investigate the records.

Your Majesty.

It seems you will have to wait for a little longer.

So he was the one who came first in the imperial civil exams 4 times

and escaped 4 times, that Sang Chen?

Your Majesty it is he.

How dare he compared me to a tiger.

How dare he compared me to a tiger.

I was insulted too.

He called me a hungry wolf that would eat an adorable rabbit.

Adorable rabbit?

He is an interesting young genius.

It seems I need

him to help me discover the secrets behind this lamb skin;
