[The Deer and the Cauldron]

[Episode 10]

I'm jumping.

I'm really jumping.

I'm jumping now.

Senior, someone fell into the water.

Help! Help!

There are so many people in the Palace. We'd better not get involved.

No, we can't watch her die.

Help! Help!

Help! Help! Help!

I'm here.

Help me.

Help me.

It's not this one. It's not mine.

Why did you save me?

I just want to die. Why bother to save me?

Are you a maid?

I am a maid.

I was sold into the Palace to do hard labor since young.

They let me do all the dirty and tiring work.

If there's anything they are not satisfied with,

they even let me drink footbath water.

And they beat me.

Look, these are what they did to me.

Scars all over.

Poor thing.

Why don't we let her leave here with us, Senior?

Do you know how to leave the Palace?

Are you really taking me?

Okay, okay, I know, I know the way to leave.

Gui, then you stay in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility

and enjoy the stay.

- Liu Yan. - No, Empress Dowager, tell me directly.

Don't always call Liu Yan here. She's really busy every day.

Do you know what's wrong with this damn eunuch?

He's got fast hands,

slippery feet,

and bigmouth.

Then what should we do?

His hands and feet should be

cut off.

- What about his mouth? - My mouth is much better, Empress Dowager.

Didn't you notice I talk less today?

It's too late.

Let's go, eunuch.

- Sutra of Forty Two Chapters. - Wait.

Come back.

Empress Dowager.

What did you say?

I said... what...

- Liu Yan. Slap. - Yes.

Sutra of Forty Two Chapters.

I remember.

- I remember now. - Say it.

I got the Sutra of Forty Two Chapters

from Rui Dong.

He said, "Brother, you keep the Sutra well.

If anyone wants to kill you,

let him never see this book forever."

What does the Sutra look like?

Red silk cover with a white border.

Where is it?

In my house.

Very good.

Liu Yan.

Go get the Sutra from this damn eunuch.

If the Sutra is true,

I'll keep you alive.

You "hum"?

Remember, don't talk to him on the way.

You don't need to come back if you couldn't get the Sutra.

Yes, Empress Dowager.

- Move. - Keep away from me.

Men and women shall keep distance, don't you know?

Why are you always trying to touch a man?

Listen, if you hurt me, where to find the Sutra? I'm asking you.Where?

Move aside. Get out of my way.

Go.

Fine.

- Hurry up. - Fine.

Keep away from me.

Keep ten meters away from me, okay?

Where are you going?

Aren't we going to fetch the Sutra?

You don't want it anymore?

This way.

So you don't be so close to me.

I'm under a lot of pressure, you know?

I hardly find the door.

Hurry up.

Okay, okay, retreat.

Is this really where you live?

It looks like the place where His Majesty lives.

Are you really a maid?

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, you all retreat.

Close the door.

Don't let me see you again.

Yes.

How dare you!

Which palace you maids belong to?

How dare you copy me, the Princess, to disguise as a eunuch?

Princess?

You don't want to say?

Or I whip you to death.

She's the Princess that night.

Gui put medicine on her face.

How dare you insult me like this?

I whip you to death.

How dare you hit me?

Help.

Did you hear anything?

Sounds like Princess' calling for help.

Are we going in?

We can't go in.

Princess just said

she never wants to see us again.

What should we do then?

Let's go to play.

Let's go.

It turns out that you are the assassin.

- Help! Help! - Shut up, or I'll kill you.

Senior, do you think Gui agrees to kill her?

Senior, she's really heavy.

- Let's leave. - Senior, won't you wait for Brother Gui?

The little eunuch is playing and drinking out there. He will never come back

He will.

Ugly! Big fatty!

You tortured me like this,

but one day I would let you die in your boots.

- Is he scolding me? - No no no.

Senior, you think too much.

Mind your business first.

Let's see who will die first.

I... I know what my ending is.

Give you it or not, I have to die in the end.

Now that Empress Dowager said

she'd spare you, she would not let you die.

At most, you lose your eyes, and your legs.

I... I tell you,

You, Empress Dowager... all right, I got it.

Do you think Empress Dowager is really good for you?

If you don't believe...

If you don't believe me, let's make a bet.

I'm telling you, you will not end well.

You kill me and Empress Dowager silence you by killing you too.

You talk too much.

Say it! Where is the Sutra?

The Sutra...

Wait a moment.

Have you kept the Sutra well?

Who are you talking to?

You started crying the moment you entered the yard.

Are you trying to inform somebody?

I didn't.

Are you keeping someone in the room?

The Sutra is...I remember. It's in...

Where is it?

In the cabinet.

I remember now. It's in here.

Quilt cover.

I remember. It's here.

I forgot which cabinet I put it in.

Quilt cover too.

Why there are so many quilt covers?

Sister Yan,

You are not in the Palace, so you have no idea how difficult I am.

Say it.

Where is the Sutra?

Sister Yan,

although I talk a lot, you have to let me finish it, okay?

Finish it.

I forgot what to say. You scared me.

Say it.

Where is the Sutra?

So strong. I can tell you're a master of martial arts at the first sight.

All muscles.

You're really strong, Sister Yan.

Sister Yan, how about this?

Let's split and find it.

It's faster that way.

Empress Dowager would be angry if we keep her waiting too long.

I search this side,

and you search that side. We do it together.

Please.

You don't want me to run away?

Okay, I'll do it first.

Let's do it together.

I search this side,

and you search that side.

Hurry. Empress Dowager will be mad and lose her temper.

- What are you yelling for? - I'm happy.

What are you happy about?

I have a clue, Sister.

Before I hid the Sutra,

I took it exactly on this plate.

Look, what a nice plate.

Just now when I remembered,

I was so happy that I can't help it

and shouted.

Sister, after knowing this, aren't you happy too?

You talk too much.

I keep looking for it then.

I will find it soon.

Trust me.

I remember.

It's under the bed.

What are you doing?

Looking for the Sutra.

Come out.

I'm looking for the Sutra.

Will you come out?

A mouse!

Where is the mouse?

Gone.

Will you come out or not?

If you don't come out now,

your hand will break.

I come out, come out, come out.

You want to kill me?

No, of course not.

Sister Yan, I was playing with you.

You really believed it.

Let's change a game then.

I gouge one of your eyes first, and the other

if you can't find the Sutra a quarter later.

Tell me, should I gouge your left eye or right eye first?

Left, right.

Do the right eye. My left eye is a good eye,

better than the right one. Do the right eye.

Great.

Then I'll gouge your left eye.

Wait.

Sister Yan,

before I go blind in one eye, can I

have a little request, please?

Go ahead.

You listen to me.

When I count one, two, three, and four,

you do it, okay?

Why?

Because that way, I can prepare myself well

and accept the fact I'll be blind.

Fine.

I'll start counting now. Listen up.

Ready?

One,

two, wait.

Didn't we make a deal

you wait until I count four? You are a beat earlier.

- You talk too much. - Ready.

One

two,

- Three. - Three.

Is she dead?

Yes.

- Are you sure? - Sure

Why her eyes still open?

- She didn't die in peace. - No.

That's because I haven't counted four yet.

Four.

Am I cool?

What is it?

I'm not wrong, am I?

There's something.

A new ghost? It's so scary.

Gosh. When did you get into my tub?

Brother Gui, we were planning to leave the Palace today,

but ran into this troublesome princess. She even lied and said she's a maid.

That's good. Let me kill her today.

No, no, no.

- Why? - Why not?

You two follow me. I'll tell you outside.

-Come, follow me - Junior.

You know what? Speaking of this...

What are you doing? What are you doing? You didn't hear me?

I told you to come out.

Move, move.

Easy, easy. It's all right. You...

Say it. Why can't we kill her?

If we want to leave the Palace,

we need her help.

Once we leave here,

it's not too late to kill her, right?

What if she cries out on the way we leave the Palace?

Well, leave it to me.

You two go pack first.

Let me teach her a lesson, okay?

Fine.

You didn't expect it, did you?

You damn eunuch, how dare you collude with the assassin?

I'll tell Royal Brother to chop off your head.

Complain, complain, complain.

Okay, then I'll

let you stay here for another three days and nights.

You can sleep, but you have nothing to eat.

Three days later, I will let you go to your brother. Bye.

Are you going to tell your brother now?

Really?

Fine.

I'll believe you once.

Come on. It's pretty tight.

Be careful.

Stupid girl.

As a five-rank official,

why are you colluding with assassins?

Tell me everything.

I... It's an imperial decree.

Imperial decree?

- Yes. - Imperial decree from whom?

Let me ask you.

A few days ago, His Majesty asked me to release those assassins.

Did you know that?

Yes, I know that.

I'm telling me that

these two female assassins and those assassins are together.

So His Majesty wants me to first gain the trust of these two female assassins,

let them go and follow them secretly,

to find their base and kill them all.

That's the tactic named throwing a long line to catch big fish.

They are with them?

Yes.

Fun, it's so fun. I also want to catch a big fish. I want to catch a big fish

- No, no, no. -Why?

You've got a big mouth, and loose.

So We can't let you in.

- Let me in. - No way.

Let me in, let me in.

Let me in, let me in, let me in.

Okay, fine, I let you in, let you in.

Really?

- Yes. - Come on, relieve me. Relieve me.

Come out. Come out.

Sit tight.

Listen up. When I relieve you,

you go back to the Palace right away

and change your clothes as a maid

and waiting for us. We'll leave the Palace together tonight

to get the assassins.

Good idea. Very good.

Go now.

- I'm leaving now. - Go.

I swallowed. I'll do it again.

What are you doing?

Great.

No one dared to pull my thigh anymore.

Didn't you forget what we discussed just now, did you?

What was it?

Forget about it. You're out.

I know. Catch the big fish.

I'll dress as a maid tonight,

you come to pick me up, we leave the Palace and catch the assassins.

- See you tonight. - See you tonight.

- What are you doing? - Why did you let her go?

You don't know that when the Princess leaves the Palace,

imperial carriage is a must.

I let her go first,

so that we three can mingle with the crowd and leave the Palace.

Then how can you guarantee that she listens to you?

Because she is stupid.

He is so smart.

Anyone?

Anyone there?

- Where is this? - It's named Wrestling Room.

Listen, we can only stay here tonight.

Tomorrow morning, we leave the Palace secretly.

- What happened? - What wrong?

I lost my bracelet.

What bracelet?

A silver bracelet.

After leaving the Palace, I'll make you a gold one.

It's Senior Liu's...

It's Liu...

Shopkeeper Liu

Shopkeeper Liu made for my mother

and my mother gave it to me.

It's precious then, passed down from generation to generation.

Where did you lose it?

Probably by the bedside.

Bedside?

Okay. How about this?

You two, stay here steadfastly.

Don't go anywhere. Just stay here.

Keep absolutely silent, got it?

Take this. I'll go get it back for you.

Don't go.

It's just a bracelet.

Are you caring about me?

Who cares about you?

I know you.

Being together these days, I know it well enough.

You are just hard outside but soft inside.

Wait for me to get it back for you.

Senior, Brother Gui is actually kind.

That Ugly.

You really thought I got my name Little White Dragon of Yangzhou for nothing?

An ugly wanted to kill me?

Daydreaming.

I'm leaving tomorrow anyway.

Let me teach you who's the boss here.

Need to change a place.

Where to put it?

In the bed.

You can't die of discomfort,

but you can die of fear.

What is so rocky?

Pretty tight.

Holy cow! Three.

I'm so lucky this time.

- Who are you? - Empress Dowager arrives.

- I... let's talk inside. - Move aside.

You are here to steal something?

I'm here to send something.

Are you Eunuch Gui?

What's wrong with Liu Yan?

She hasn't come back for so long.

It seems something has happened.

Now that you know this guy is so cunny,

why did let Liu Yan take him alone?

Liu Yan's martial arts is ten times higher than his, and I ordered clearly.

What could happen?

No more wait. I'll go check it out.

I will go with you.

- What is it? - Someone was here.

Who?

The one who killed Liu Yan.

Three.

Gosh. What am I doing?

Only if I leave without thinking about anything.

I... I won't brag anymore.

I can't get out of this door.

Try another door.

Hurry up, or I'm dead.

Eunuch, help me.

Assassins!

Go. Hurry.

Wait, wait a minute.

- Give your hair back. - Hurry up, go.

Hurry.

How do I address you, Sister?

My surname is Tao, and they call me Tao Gong E.

What were you doing in Empress Dowager's cabinet?

I'm under the imperial decree

to catch Empress Dowager's adultery in the act.

His Majesty knew that the maid was disguised by a man?

Yes, a little, but he's not sure.

I killed Empress Dowager.

This will sooner or later explode.

No, I have to leave the Palace immediately.

Sister. Sister, you can't go out.

Everyone is after you now.

Freeze.

Sister, I've got an idea.

I'll report to His Majesty and tell him

that I saw Empress Dowager and a man

were arguing,

and they finally fought,

and killed each other.

That way, it has nothing to do with you.

What is this? It's...

it's dead men tell no tales, right?

So you don't have to run.

That will not work.

Although His Majesty likes you,

he'll sooner or later kill you.

No way.

His... His Majesty will kill me too?

Think about it.

His mother had affairs with a man.

If anyone knows,

what do you think His Majesty looks like?

Even if you tell no one, every time His Majesty sees you,

he'd feel ashamed.

So I suggest you never disclose it.

Sister,

you are so kind to me.

Let's separate now.

Take care.

Sister, Sister.

Don't worry. Leave it to me.

All in all,

this time going out of the Palace is perilous and unpredictable.

I may return the same day,

or in three days.

All in all, for our motherland, I'm not afraid to sacrifice.

I'll never return if we can't take them all down.

You all listen up. If anyone dares disclose anything

about the state secrets of my leaving the Palace to catch a big fish,

I tear her mouth and chop off her legs.

Clear?

All in all,

- go get ready. - Yes.

Who is it?

Protect His Majesty.

Who are you? Turn your face.

Eunuch Gui.

What a coincidence to meet you guys so late.

Gui.

- Greetings to Your Majesty. - Rise now.

- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Why are you here?

Do you know something happened to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility?

I don't know. What happened?

You ask me?

You are serving Empress Dowager in there, and you ask me?

Your Majesty, here is the thing.

Empress Dowager told me

to come back to my own place tonight

and go back to serve her tomorrow.

I see. Then come with me to check out.

Back again?

Perilous

and unpredictable.

For motherland,

I'm not afraid to sacrifice.

All in all, I tear your mouth and chop off your legs.

Come on, report to me

what you have prepared for me?

Your clothes for a change.

Your dagger.

Two apples.

A cat.

Very good.

All in all,

I may return the same day,

or in three days.
