[The Deer and the Cauldron]

[Episode 7]

I want to use the restroom first.

Hurry and lead the way for Eunuch Gui!

Eunuch Gui, this way please.

Ok.

You guys drink, everything is fine.

I need to go now.

Alright.

Wait, are you going to follow me into the restroom?

You can go back to the party. It's fine.

Think about it carefully.

This is what we agreed on.

You can't break your promise.

How about this?

You give me 5000 taels of silver.

How much?

5000 taels?

That's too much.

This is a valuable treasure, and I'm

only selling it for 10000 taels.

It's not too much to ask for half of the payment first.

Here, brother.

I'll give you 1000 taels first, and the rest

within the next three days.

Wait a second.

It's right here.

Give it to me.

Liu Yan. You've betrayed my trust in you.

You can't even keep an eye on a eunuch!

I'm guilty!

I will go capture him right now.

Capture him?

Kill him!

Yes. Capture and kill him.

Kill him!

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Should we keep his body whole?

Scram!

Still here? You behave really well.

I was afraid you already left.

I wanted to leave,

but you helped me,

so I should at least thank you.

That's music to my ears.

Besides, if you left, who's going to take the medicine

I bought for you?

How is it? Do your feet feel better?

Much better.

I'll help you put on medicine later.

You're the little princess of the Mu family.

That means your last name is Mu.

But what is your full name?

-I'm not going to tell you. -Why not?

Are you embarrassed because your name

isn't pretty?

Your name's not Wood, right? [♪Wood is pronounced "mu tou" in Chinese]

You're a piece of wood.

My name is Mu Jian Ping.

Oh no, this name is worse than Wood.

Think about it.

If wood meets a sword,

it will get cut in half

and made into a screen.

Isn't that what your name means?

I already gave my thanks.

I'm going to go home.

Be careful.

With your limp like that,

walking from here out of the Palace

will take you at least three days and nights.

Catch the assassin!

-There's an assassin. -What should we do?

Don't worry, I'm here.

You go hide first.

-What about you? -

I'll protect you.

You retreat first!

What kind of pose is that?

This sword looks really familiar.

Does that pose look familiar?

No.

Careful.

I didn't do this on purpose.

Brother. If you're still alive,

then make a sound. Or say hi to us.

He's alive.

Don't move!

If you do, I'll cut you in half with this!

You're a girl?

With big eyes and quite pretty too!

Senior?

Junior?

Why are you here?

Wait a minute. You can recognize each other upside down?

I... I'm here to assassinate the Emperor.

Why are you with a eunuch?

I don't know.

Did you come by yourself?

Everyone is here.

Then where are the others?

Alright.

Your senior is already wounded,

stop catching up now, ok?

Where are you wounded?

I'll rub it for you.

Get away!

Your hand? You stabbed your hand?

Don't touch me with your stinky hands!

Do you know me or something?

Saying I'm stinky, how am I stinky?

Your room is stinky.

My room is stinky? I'm telling you, my room smelled great

until you came in.

Stop fighting. My senior is already like this,

hurry and help her to the room.

I won't. I don't even know who she is.

I don't need you to help me up!

My good brother!

You're definitely the smarter one,

always poking my soft spots.

Fine then, I'll help you up.

But I'm telling you, this is for the sake of my good sister.

If it was just you?

Whatever. Get up.

Be careful, Senior. Senior.

Scram!

My leg!

My leg!

Did you hurt it again?

Why are you so unfortunate today?

Good sister. I think your senior

is about to die.

Let's see, you're injured less.

Move slowly towards the bed first.

I'm going to carry your senior in first.

Alright.

Get up, don't keep trying now.

I can tell it hurts just by looking.

Here. I'll hold you.

Let's go!

My leg!

What's wrong? Are you ok?

-Are you ok? -I'm fine.

You're so heavy.

-Hurry, good sister. -Eunuch Gui!

Eunuch Gui.

Eunuch Gui.

Senior!

-Senior, be careful. -Be quiet.

The chief guard is here.

Don't make a noise.

Eunuch Gui?

Eunuch Gui.

I'm coming in.

Eunuch Gui?

Chief Duo!

What is this in the dark?

My hand hurts. It really hurts

What did you two see?

A gourd.

Smart. Now get out!

Yes.

Eunuch Gui?

Brother Duo. Why are you here?

There's an assassin in the Palace tonight.

-An assassin? -Yes.

Then what about His Majesty? Is His Majesty alright?

His Majesty is fine.

He sent me to protect you.

His Majesty is worried about your safety.

-That's so touching. -Right.

I'm about to cry.

A servant as successful as you

really stands out even in history!

Brother Duo.

Look. Normally as your younger brother,

I should bring you inside

for a cup of hot tea.

But you know. Us eunuchs have a weird smell

in our rooms.

I'm afraid you won't be used to it.

Then no need for the trouble, Eunuch Gui.

I need to go capture the assassin.

I'll be leaving now.

-Be careful. -Goodbye.

-Don't get hurt. -Goodbye.

You two. Stay and protect Eunuch Gui.

Everyone else, follow me.

Yes.

Where are they?

-Where did they go? -We're here.

Here?

Luckily my good sister is smart,

knowing that this place is safe.

Let's get to know each other.

Why don't you introduce yourself?

I know you already. Your name is Mu Jian Ping, right?

-What about you? -Her name is Fang Yi.

That name isn't good.

Why not?

It makes her sound old.

Why is that?

Think about it.

If an 80-year-old grandma saw her,

she would still have to call her Yi. [♪Yi = means aunt in Chinese]

Stop being a blabber-mouth!

Don't think I won't hit you!

You. You're not fun.

Not fun at all.

I'm just making a joke, can't you tell?

You keep hitting people. Is that fun?

You're a woman!

Be more gentle, ok?

Whatever.

You both heard just now.

There are still two yellow-vests outside protecting us.

Of course. Even though they're my guards,

I still need to greet them

and bring them some wine, right?

You two stay and lay here.

Make sure to not make noise.

I'll be right back.

Who is it?

Miss Liu Yan.

Are you looking for Eunuch Gui?

Why are you here?

We're under orders to protect Eunuch Gui.

Protect until when?

At least until the sun comes up.

Alright. I'll come back when the sun rises.

Why do you think Miss Liu Yan

came to see Eunuch Gui in the middle of the night?

The eunuchs and maids have always had relationships in history.

Why bother with that?

Wake up.

You two, wake up.

Are you crazy?

I'm not crazy.

I'm about to die.

I'm being serious.

If I die, you think you two can get out?

That's why you need to help me.

you need to help me.

Do what?

Rescue ourselves.

What is he doing?

I don't know.

Ok.

What do we do next?

You go boil water.

And me?

That stupid eunuch doesn't know any martial arts,

and you still can't kill him?!

I was about to,

but a bunch of assassins came.

The guards came too.

I couldn't make a move.

I'm guilty!

You worthless thing!

I'm guilty!

Please forgive my crimes.

The assassins are a gift from the heavens.

We need to get rid of the eunuch in the mess.

Your Majesty, please give me another chance.

I will kill him as soon as I see him.

This time, I will send a skilled master.

Don't delay. Kill him as soon as you see him.

Don't listen to anything he says.

That stupid eunuch's mouth can spit poison.

Yes.

In my life, I hate talkative people the most.

The water is boiling.

Who is it?

It's me.

Deputy Chief Rui.

What are you two doing here?

The Chief ordered us to stay here and protect Eunuch Gui.

That's right.

Don't stand guard here.

Go to Shenwu Gate.

I will take care of Eunuch Gui.

Yes.

Who is it?

Who are you?

Brother Zhang!

Are you a dead person?

The Empress Dowager won't let me speak to you.

The Empress Dowager?

She sent someone else?

I am Rui Dong.

Who's Rui Dong?

Deputy Chief of the Imperial Guards.

Is there anything you need at this hour?

Her Majesty's royal decree.

Please go and visit the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.

But it's too late now.

It's not good for a man and woman to meet this late.

- What are you saying? - No, I mean...

What I mean is, it's too late now at this hour.

Her Majesty has to rest, right?

Even if she works hard every day for her country and people

and doesn't take care of herself,

as her servants, we need to take care of her.

Right?

Are you going

to disobey the decree?

Of course not. That's not what I mean.

That's not what I mean.

Brother Rui.

Brother Rui. I will definitely go, right?

If Her Majesty calls for me, how would I dare not go?

how would I dare not go?

It's just...

I just finished bathing, and am still naked.

finished bathing,

and am still naked.

I need to put on some clothes before I go see Her Majesty, right?

Hurry up and go to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility with me.

If you delay even a bit,

I will kill you right now.

Are you dressed yet?

Not yet!

I'm looking for my underwear, wait a moment!

Is Eunuch Gui still not dressed?

I can't find my underwear!

I'm coming in to help you.

A horse heel rope?

You're about to die, and still playing tricks like this?

Oh no.

You saw through me.

I haven't played this trick since I was three.

You're pretty harsh,

using boiling water!

Who knew you would be wearing a hat?

What other tricks do you have?

Bring it on!

Then please lookup.

My eyes!

Why are you so obedient?

You looked up because I asked you to?

Now the flour is all over your eyes.

I'm going to kill you!

On your left. Go to the left, and you'll feel it.

There's water. Wash your face and it'll feel better.

Once I clean my eyes,

I'll come to deal with you!

I'm sorry, Brother Rui.

I got it mixed up!

That bucket wasn't full of flour, it's limestone powder!

If it meets water, it will bubble up.

I'm going to kill you!

This is something I didn't expect.

Brother Rui.

I set up the horse heel rope so that you would fall forward

and hit your forehead.

Who thought you would change it up

and hit the back of your head?

That must hurt so much.

Don't keep struggling,

hurry and get it checked out at the Imperial Institute of Medicine.

It's not a big deal if you go blind.

But if your head gets wounded,

you'll become useless for life.

We need to hold on!

Open the door!

We can't let him come in! We can't let him come in!

We need to hold onto the door.

Did you hear me? Hold onto the door!

Fine, you're not going to open it?

Fine.

I'm going to kill you!

I'm going to take your life!

So stupid.

So tragic.

It's mostly because he's stupid.

Eunuch Gui, His Majesty would like to see you.

Eunuch Gui?

What is it?

Eunuch Gui.

His Majesty orders for you to go see him right now.

His Majesty?

That's right.

His Majesty is asking for you in the middle of the night.

You're truly treated very well.

Alright then. Let me go back and clean up,

and I'll head over right away.

Please wait for me outside.

Alright.

Wait a minute.

Aren't we going to see His Majesty?

This is the way to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility. We went the wrong way.

We went the wrong way.

It's not wrong.

It's not wrong. His Majesty went to greet the Empress Dowager.

We are going to the Palace.

Where are you going?

I'm telling you, don't yell.

If you do, I'll kill you.

Did you hear that?

Why did money fall from the sky?

That's so strange.

Go.

We're still going?

There's more money here?

Today is so strange.

You are all going to be rich.

Still not letting me go?

Go.

Wait. Are you not taking my bribe?

I...

Eunuch Gui.

Where are you going in the middle of the night?

I...

His Majesty is greeting the Empress Dowager,

and asked for Eunuch Gui to go serve at Her Majesty's palace.

Liar!

I just saw His Majesty. His Majesty is in the South Study.

His Majesty is in the South Study.

Capture them!

Don't move.

Zhang Kang Nian!

If you dare disrupt Her Majesty's matters, you'll lose your life!

you'll lose your life!

Brother Zhang.

This is a blatant threat and disrespect.

Shut up!

If you say one more word, I will break your jaw!

Don't you dare!

So strong.

- I've studied martial arts. - Such strength.

I need to do one more thing. Give me a second.

Did you pick up the first pile of money?

Give it to me.

Wait.

Why does the stack feel thinner?

- I didn't... - Fine.

Fine then.

Did you two take the other two piles?

- They stole your money too? - That's right.

That's right.

They searched me as soon as they captured me, and took everything.

Brother Zhang. Let's talk over here.

I heard that there was trouble in the Palace tonight.

That's right.

A group of criminals appeared tonight.

Then what punishment will these criminals in the Palace get?

will these criminals in the Palace

get?

Do I even need to tell you?

Then just kill them.

But...

Brother Zhang.

Whether they're real or fake criminals,

there's already a feud now.

Even if they don't kill you later,

the Empress Dowager will.

Think about it, Her Majesty killing you is as easy as stepping on a cockroach.

If you don't end it now, the problems will still be here.

That's true.

Take them away!

Eunuch.

Are you afraid I'm going to take the money without doing anything?

Of course not.

It's too dark out and I'm a bit scared.

We're also going the same way.

Eunuch, please.

It's been almost four hours.

I underestimated that stupid eunuch.

Eunuch.

Please, you go.

Please what?

Try it.

Try what?

- Here. - What are you doing?

Don't hold my hand in the middle of the day.

Try and see if any of them are still breathing.

No. I'm scared.

Besides, I trust you.

But this matter isn't over yet, right?

I understand.

I will make them disappear right now.

Thank you.

Eunuch, please.

I'm leaving now.

- Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang. - Of course.

You don't want to go play at my place?

I'm going to clean up here and go over later in the night.

Don't. Then that's a nightmare.

Get some rest soon.

I really overcame challenges,

overcame challenges,

got fortunate, and was blessed by the heavens today.
