Father has passed away.

Before he died,

he kept calling your name.

He knew he was wrong.

After you left,

Father regretted his decision.

Only after Father died,

did I understand,

that you are the only living family

I have in this world.

I know you have always despised me.

And I was spoilt and arrogant always targeting you.

But that's all in the past.

Do you know how lonely...

it is to live alone?

I actually started to miss the days when we argued constantly.

Those days when you pranked me.

Elder sister.

I know I committed many wrongs,

but for Father’s sake,

can you forgive me?

Father...

It looks like elder sister does not plan to forgive me.

It seems,

you do not remember the warning I gave you.

My Father has passed away, I have no other family!

I came to find her so that we can depend on each other!

I will not hurt her!

Because you helped her today, I will let you go for now.

However if you dare to trick me....

Move aside!

What are you doing?

Go home.

This is my home!

Let go, dratted fish!

Dratted fish..

you don't even know how to take care of a woman, made me sleep in the box again!

Stinky Fox,

stop causing trouble and making me worry.

Here,

is your home.

[Hongwen academy]

The Monarch Blossom butterfly has wings the shape of peach blossoms and the size of a_ hair ornament.

and likes to drift around the woods.

Ou Chen oh Ou Chen, a good couple is brought together by Heaven.

Ou Chen is only a book about mortal love.

What brought about that brother Bai?

Say...can you truly repair a broken mirror?

If a mirror is broken, how can it be repaired?

But the love in this story is repaired like a broken mirror.

That is because the readers of the story wish for a good outcome,

that is why the author helped them fulfill that wish.

Let me ask you,

if a man builds a lair for a female fox,

why did he do that?

It means that man likes that female fox.

so is raising her as pet.

It looks like he likes her.

A fox is quite expensive in price.

You can make a jacket from it’s fur and it’s flesh can increase virility and make one more insusceptible to cold.

He fed her well,

doesn't look like he wishes to skin her and sell her meat.

If it's not for money, why raise a fox?

Not only did he raise her, they are also sleeping together.

A love between human and beast?

Surely you are not talking about...

She is sleeping with Xiao Song?!

I must take Xiao Song that fish’s life!

What do you want? Got some courage huh?

Want to take his Lordships' fish life?

Xiao Song is devious and conniving, he is so base!

Xiao Song's behaves and speaks in an improper way! He has evil intentions!

Ran Yan’s heart is as black is ink, and only cares about money and power, she is the evil one!

Miss Ran is incomparable beauty, and her heart as pure as a white lotus flower,

no-one can be comparable to her?

Young...bud?

Who are you calling childish?*

am not talking about childish I am talking about young flower buds!

The blossom Monarch butterfly likes to eat jasmine buds.

Aren't you looking for a lead on the butterfly merchant?

If we investigate who is buying these buds, we can find the merchant.

Good idea.

Follow me.

That smells like jasmine.

You don't need to sniff, I've asked around,

the people selling the jasmine said there is someone wearing a black veil who often comes to buy jasmine.

I asked around and they live here.

This seems to be Cai Yu's house.

Why is it rented out again?

That person is...

Say...would the butterfly be hidden,..

Shut up.

That person he...

Turns out he's here.

I'll go look for His Lordship you stay here.

Do not let him discover you, understand?

What’s going on?

Why did he yell?

T-This won’t work, I...I must go in and take a look.

Why is no-one inside?

What is going on?

This scent..

It smells like musk!

Move it! Go!

My Lord he's here.

Cai Yu’s home?

Exactly.

Why has Sang Chen disappeared?

Not good, the monarch butterfly!

Bai Yi, open the door!

My Lord this is the Monarch butterfly!

The butterfly is poisonous! Hurry open up!

My Lord I can handle it, hurry and go!

Sang Chen! Sang Chen! Hang in there!

Hurry and go.

These butterflies have gone mad

Hurry and go!

Ram open the door!

Bai Yi! Bai Yi!

He can be saved! Take him back!

Yes!

Come, come, hurry.

Feed this medicine to help him throw it up.

It's fine after you throw it up.

It may be hard for Bai Yi to keep his life.

The poison has reached his organs through his bloodstream.

There is nothing I can do.

As long as you can find a herb.

What is it?

Ganoderma.

-I have many at home! -No, no.

It is not normal Ganoderma, it's red Ganoderma.

The red Ganoderma is extremely rare.

Even the Emperor may not have it.

Each line and stroke sketches the shadow of your smile

The wind from behind blows gently

Brother Bai is poisoned so badly because he tried to save and protect me.

It's all my fault.

Your troubles are cured without medicine

My Lord you have not slept the entire night, you should rest.

There have been so many cases over these years

so many sleepless nights,

where you were my only company.

Although we are not brothers,

but we are closer than brothers.

If you did not protect me so loyally,

I don't know how many times I would have died before.

My Lord are you sure you don't want to rest?

I am fine, I can endure it.

You can endure it, so I can as well.

Bai Yi I will not allow you to die.

I brought this to Brother Bai.

I have a red Ganoderma.

When alive, my Mother left me quite a few things.

Amongst them is the red Ganoderma.

Where is it?

In my cousin's manor.

Let's go.

[Qingzhu clinic]

The medicine is here.

Uncle I know acupuncture too.

Why don't I help you?

Let's go!

How is Bai Yi?

He is safe now.

Old man, you performed a merit,

hurry and ask Lord Xiao for a reward.

I should ask for a reward.

Tell him to accept you wench who shows no respect to her elders!

So that I can have some peace for the rest of my life.

Old man am I that annoying?

Why is this vinegar? It's so sour.

Are you not drinking this right now?*

Old man, I am warning you, I am in a bad mood now.

Do you think Xiao Song is someone who can be easily enthralled by a woman?

If that was the case,

why did he not remarry after divorcing you?

Old man I am telling you I am in a bad mood.

He has not even given your stupid sister a single proper look!

He didn't before, and will not in the future!

He only grabbed her hand because he was in a rush to save a life!

Do not say anymore, we cannot be together.

If no-one marries me then you have to keep me around!

You dratted wench! You want me to die in a fit of fury?

I think even without me angering you,

you like to gamble so much and upset so many people,

perhaps someone will kill you.

Even if I am murdered, I will leave you a lead to the killer.

Old man you cannot speak nonsense.

You have to life for a long time otherwise who can I bully?

Girl,

everyone will die one day.

Separation is inevitable.

Life and death is simply a norm of the world.

You do not need to be sad,

I have led a carefree life throughout these years, the thing I hate the most are tears.

As they say troublemakers live for 1000 years.

Old man....I think you

will live for 10,000 years!

You dratted wench.

Always mocking your teacher, show no respect at all.

Pour me some more alcohol.

Dratted wench.

You just wait.

Why is there a woman's comb here?

You are merely a Shu son!

You are not worthy to be with Ran Yan!

Shu son!

Shu son! Shu sonl

Not worthy to be with Ran Yan!

My Lord, do you have any instructions?

My Lord?

Su Fu?

Su Fu, did you kill these people?

What's wrong?

What's wrong with Su Fu?

Why is he acting so strangely?

Why did he kill so many people?

'Why is he pursuing me?

Why...does he look as if he wants to kill me?

He doesn’t look like...the Su Fu I know at all.

Su Fu...l am Ran Yan!

Su Fu! Su Fu! Su Fu!

I am Ran Yan! I am Ran Yan!

I am here to return this to you.

Ran Yan...

I promise I will not let anyone hurt you.

I will help you find the Marquis of Sui's pearl.

You must agree to let her go.

I will agree once you take the purple pill of rot.

If I wish to live,

then I must be merciless and loveless.

But in this vast world,

who can truly be merciless and loveless?

And how can I achieve that?

I cannot be merciless.

I cannot lose myself.

It's Ji Yuan..

Just now...

You thought I was Ji Yuan?

Hurry and leave.

It's too dangerous here.

What about you? Where are you going?

Also...are you injured?

I thought you would never care about me again.

The effects finally took hold.

The pill of purple rot will cause hallucinations.

The symptoms can only be alleviated when you take the antidote.

But you are too influenced by love and love Ran Yan too much,

That is why your symptoms are more serious.

And you need to take a higher dose of the antidote

in order to lessen the symptoms.

And your conscience will slowly be engulfed by it

and become a truly puppet.

How long do I have before I lose myself?

You do not have much time left.

I advise you to let Ran Yan go.

That way you can survive.

The people from the Court will be here soon.

I have done my best.

You chose to be my puppet.

Old man, what's wrong?

Did you sprain your ankle or lose your purse?

Miss will definitely be happy when she sees this flower.

Of course.

Lord Sun? What brings you here?

Someone reported to me that a murder occurred here.

This is the Ran manor. How can there be a murder here?

Could it be Miss?

Miss! Miss!

Miss! Miss!

Miss!

A murder did occur.

Lord Sun?

My Lord, no external injuries, he was killed by a silver needle inserted into the death acupoint.

You killed him?

I did not kill him, he tried to kill me with a knife just now!

But he was the one who is dead now.

Yan'er what happened just now?

Hurry and explain it to His Lordship.

Just now he raised his knife at me to try and kill me.

When I tried to yell,

I felt weak and light headed.

And then I passed out.

Someone blew some sleeping incense in.

Arrest Ran Yan!

Whoever dares to touch my Miss, I will fight to death with him!

-Stop! -Miss!

My Lord although Ji Yuan died here,

but this is a mysterious case with lost of unanswered questions

if you capture her like this then it's unfair!

Unfair?

Recite this.

Yes.

Minister of justice Xiao Song secretly headed to Suzhou to get his hands on the Sui pearl.

Need to borrow Xiao Song’s hand.

I know District Governor Li is dead, hurry and shut them up.

Instruct Mistress Gao to investigate the Sui pearl do not delay.

Ji Yuan stole the secret document, plans to report it to His Majesty.

Tell Ran Yan to shut him up?

Father! I did not write that letter!

I have only met that Ran Yan once, we have no relationship.

I did not tell her to shut Ji Yuan up, I am wrongly accused!

Do you think my sight is going from age, and cannot recognize your writing?

You controlled the Neiwei department behind my back

to secretly find the Marquis' Sui's pearl

and tried to stop my minister from his task.

What is your motive?

Father I only want to help you!

I think you want to replace me on my throne!

Starting from today, confine the Crown Prince in the east palace!

For one month!

Your Lordships

His Majesty instructed the two of you to leave the palace right away

you cannot visit Ran Yan in jail.

There is sufficient evidence that the Crown Prince controlled the Neiwei department.

His Majesty is furious.

I advise the two of you to not upset His Majesty for now.

What do you intend to do?

Find the true killer.

Mistress Dong Yang.

Wan Lv begs Mistress Dong Yang to save my Miss.

Please go in.

I wish to have a private talk with her.

Sure, please go in.

Miss!

Can you not be so mischievous next time?

Always causing trouble!

Other servants are able to live a life of luxury with their Miss

I am so unlucky have to suffer so much fright.

I have no time, hurry and remove your clothes.

Remove our clothes?

Do you want to replace the beams and die in my place?

It's fine if I die, you cannot die.

We will both not die.

Wife.

After you were thrown to jail, I don't know where Uncle Wu ran off to.

This family is completely in ruins.

Old man has gone missing?

Indeed, Miss.

Master Ran is mad with worry, he sent so many people to look for him.

Your maid is very loyal to you.

She did everything to save you, even I am touched by it.

But if the prison guards discover that Wan Lv was here instead of me.

then Mistress will be in trouble too.

The title of Mistress Dong Yang was given to me by His Majesty.

His Majesty will give me this face.

But my crime is starting a revolt with the Crown Prince.

It's a serious crime punishable by extermination of 9 clans.

Are you not afraid your family will be implicated?

I am sorry Mistress. I did not know how serious the crime was.

Almost implicating you.

Miss Wan Lu hurry and stand.

Wan Lv I was willing to do this.

Miss Ran.

You truly are so intelligent and virtuous.

No wonder Song’er loves you so much.

There is no relationship between me and Xiao Song.

If we do share one,

it is between the Deputy Minister and a medical examiner.

Is that true?

Do you think it's possible for us to be together?

I only know that when we came to the Xiao manor to look for Song'er,

although on the surface he humiliated you,

but in truth he noticed you were worn out searching for your cousin,

and purposefully tricked you into the manor

adding a sedative into your wine so you can sleep.

He was so foolish that when you were resting

he went to save your cousin.

Do you know?

Why did he cane you?

He could not defy His Majesty's orders.

Lord Sun set you up

said you colluded with the Huoqi alliance and managed to find evidence of your collusion.

In order to protect you, Song'er

was whipped.

His entire back was covered with whip lashes.

But he grit his teeth and endured it.

Only....to ensure His Majesty would let you go.

But Lord Sun would not let it go, and managed to convince His Majesty.

That was why His Majesty ordered for him to cane you personally

and forced you to divorce.

In order to save you Song'er,

He only punished you so heavily because he had no choice.

But I know that

it was struck on your body but the pain was in his heart.

Song'er did so much for you,

yet he did not tell you anything.

He cares about you, but did not let me tell you,

he is so talented; there are so many women who are willing to bend over backwards for him.

But he never gave them a proper look.

He is only willing...to help and pursue you

regardless what price he may pay.

I thought Lord Xiao was a bad person.

It turns out Lord Xiao was the most infatuated and best man in the world!

Miss we were wrong about him.

Not good Mistress Dong Yang.

Examiner Ran, His Majesty ordered for your beheading the day after tomorrow.

You are dismissed.

Yes.

What to do? Miss.

You should change places with me.

We still have a chance until the last moment.

There are silver needles inserted on both sides of the temple. They are the the death acupoints.

He died as soon as the needles were inserted.

He pressed his foot against the wall.

Could it be when he was in danger,

and tried to leave a lead for us.

If that was the case,

Wu Xiu He was captured here.

I found a comb a woman’s comb in Ji Yuan's room.

There is a window in the warehouse of Qingzhu clinic.

A man cannot climb through it but a small and thin woman probably can.

It should be a woman who is a lover of Ji Yuan’s.

Ji Yuan died through acupuncture.

Ran Yan knows acupuncture.

Uncle, I know acupuncture too.

Why don't I help you?

Sure.

There is another person who knows acupuncture.

My Lordships,

For my elder sister's case, your lordships

have worked hard.

It looks like you're in a good mood today.

Before my world was filled with dark clouds and rain, naturally I would be depressed.

Now, there is a nice breeze with a clear blue sky,

of course my mood improves.

One goes missing, the other is in prison, does it have anything to do with you?

You asked a direct question.

Do you recognize Ji Yuan?

I do.

How did you know him?

Someone tried to kick me out of Chang'an city.

And I ended up falling down a cliff side.

I thought I would not even be able to have a proper burial when I died,

I didn’t expect

I could make it back alive

and demand for a repayment.

My guess is Ji Yuan saved you.

That's right.

You are accomplices?

You are wrong, Ji Yuan thought that by saving me,

I would be his.

It’s a shame Mei Yu’s heart already belonged to someone else.

Does Wu Xiu He’s disappearance have anything to do with you?

Him?

He only appeared at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I want him dead.

As long as you promise to be with me, of course I kill him for you.

If you kill him,

naturally I will agree to it.

Capture him.

Old man what's wrong?

Did you sprain your ankle or lose your purse?

Who are you? What do you want?

You murdered Ji Yuan, and framed Ran Yan with it?

I can only vent out my frustration by killing Ran Yan

and it will push you further and further from me.

But if I killed Ji Yuan and framed Ran Yan with it,

then of course I can blackmail you with it.

You wrote the letters too?

I admit it, so what?

Wu Xiu He is in my hands.

You want evidence to save Ran Yan, but that depends on if I am happy,

or if I am willing.

So you want to negotiate with me.

As expected you understand me best.

You threaten me that if I were to step foot in Chang'an city,

you will punish me.

But I like Chang'an and want to remain here,

so in order for you to be more courteous towards me,

so I can only ask you to marry me.

Sure.

I agree to it.

I marry you and you let Wu Xiu He go, what do you think?

My Lord.

you profited from it.

You do not lose anything either.

I want you to give me a grand wedding.

And I want His Majesty to witness your marriage.

That has never happened since the establishment of the Tang kingdom!

But Lord Xiao is a favorite of His Majesty.

A minor matter like that...

is nothing.
