[The Deer and the Cauldron]

[Episode 15]

If you wish for peace in this world,

you must remember these four words,

"never raise the taxes."

[Never raise the taxes]

If you can achieve these four words,

you'll be a good son of mine

and I'll be happy.

Amitabha.

I'm done! Your Majesty.

I'm done. That's all.

If I can achieve these four words,

I'll be a good son of my father

and he will be at ease.

If I can achieve these four words,

I'll be a good son of my father.

Gui.

Why are you crying?

You look sadder than me.

Your Majesty looks sad.

I have to be sadder than Your Majesty.

Gui.

Should a son

be filial to his father?

Yes.

No matter what happens around him,

is he supposed to treat his father with the best things?

Of course.

Go then.

Where?

Qingliang Temple.

For what?

To become a monk.

What' wrong?

What' wrong? Gui.

Your Majesty. I'll miss Your Majesty.

I'll miss you too.

But, I have no other solution.

My father wants to cultivate himself in peace now.

You taking care of him as a monk

is the best solution.

Don't worry.

I'm not asking you to be a monk forever.

One day...

When my father passes away,

you can secularize if you wish to.

If you don't, you can remain as a monk.

No, Your Majesty.

Look, you treat me so well. You care about me so much.

I... I...I... I'll miss you even more.

I... I have to stay by your side forever.

I can't go anywhere. Am I right?

Good.

But, listen to me.

No matter if you will secularize next time,

I'll still promote you to a high-ranked minister.

Your Majesty, I don't want to become a minister.

I don't want to become a pupil of those monks too.

If I need to become a pupil,

I'll only become Your Majesty's pupil.

Your Majesty, now!

Right now!

I'll acknowledge Your Majesty as my master!

Your Majesty.

Master. I, Wei Xiao Bao is

Your Majesty's pupil.

Master, please accept my greetings.

Good. Good pupil. Hurry and get up.

I'll acknowledge you as my pupil.

So... Your Majesty.

I can't leave. It doesn't make sense

if I leave right after acknowledging Your Majesty as my master.

I can't do this!

So, I can't go anywhere.

I need to stay by your side.

I... I need to serve you forever.

But, will you listen to me?

Of course.

Once my teacher, always my father...

Then, listen and go to Mount Wutai.

It's back to this again.

Since this is the case,

don't worry, Master.

I, Wei Xiao Bao, will try my best

to protect the former emperor.

May he be happy and healthy forever.

May he has a great fortune and live a long life.

Gui.

You did improve after leaving this palace.

You made a good wish.

Alright. Don't worry.

Go to Mount Wutai first.

I'll be there soon.

We must find a way

to bring my father back to this palace.

If my father still wishes to cultivate peace

and is not willing to regain his throne,

he shall cultivate in this palace instead.

Isn't that better and safer?

Yes, Your Majesty.

In that case, why don't we depart tomorrow

and bring the former emperor back?

Won't everything be settled then?

You'll be at ease. And I'll be at ease too.

You still have to go first.

-Please go back. -You're making me dizzy.

- Please go back. - Get lost!

-Princess, please go back. -So dizzy. Get lost!

-Princess, please go back. br> -Get lost!

Empress Dowager is here!

-Your Majesty. -Greetings, Your Majesty.

So silly!

- Princess! - Princess!

Gui!

Gui!

Great.

I have been calling you. How dare you hide here?

I'll kill you!

Stand there!

How dare you lie to me last time? You!

Come here! Stand still!

So rude!

I'm discussing a serious matter with Deputy Chief Wei.

No one is allowed to enter.

Are you ignoring my words?

-No. Royal Brother. -Shut up!

You messed up the harem.

Today, you're fooling around here.

How are you a princess?

Get out.

Get out!

Gui.

Come.

Are you ok?

I'm alright.

Whenever I think that my father is still cultivating on Mount Wutai

and this happened to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility...

We must find a way to bring my father back.

-Yes. -You must be tired from your journey.

Go back and rest first.

I'll look for you tomorrow.

Yes.

I will now retreat.

- Chief Wei. - Chief Wei.

You may leave.

You promised to bring me out to capture the thieves.

Why didn't you bring me out?

Where are the two female thieves?

Did you play with them?

Princess, you worried too much.

I worried too much? Where are they?

Where are they? Where did they go？

Princess. It's not suitable to mention this matter here.

Why is not suitable? How is it not suitable?

Greetings, Princess. Greetings, Officer Wei.

Where can we talk then?

Princess, it's better to talk in a room.

Let's go then.

Gui.

Eunuch!

His Majesty said that you're a fake eunuch.

Was it real?

How can it be fake?

Really?

Of course.

Then, I shall check on it.

Stop it.

Chief Wei. Since when are you so good at martial arts?

Can you teach me?

-Teach me. -Forget it!

Enough! Stop your nonsense.

It's been a long time since we see each other.

Give me a massage!

Yes, Chief Wei.

Chief Wei.

Sir Wei.

Since you're not a eunuch, marry me then.

Why?

Because you're a man.

There are so many men.

But, I only like you.

How is it?

Let's have our consummation today.

Forget about our past, alright?

This...This is not good.

Are you complaining that

my service is not good?

Good.

Sir Wei.

You're sleepy. Are you doing it?

Yes.

What if the Empress Dowager comes? She will chop me into pieces.

There's a possibility.

Empress Dowager is here!

-What a coincidence! -What to do?

What shall I do?

Hide... Hide inside the blanket.

-What about you? -Don't worry about me.

Greetings, Queen Mother.

Why did you close your door in the middle of the day?

I was about to sleep

and you're here.

I heard that His Majesty scolded you again.

His Majesty loves you the most.

Why does he suddenly treat you coldly these few months?

Did you realize any change in His Majesty?

No.

Then, why didn't he go to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility?

Say it!

I don't know.

Queen Mother.

You're young and playful.

You made His Majesty angry.

I still can protect you now.

What if I pass away one day and you're here alone.

What can you do then?

Queen Mother, I'm exhausted now.

I don't even have the strength to talk. Why don't you...

You don't even have the strength to talk.

But, why do you have the strength to fight with me?

Stand up.

-What? -Stand up!

What happened?

I understand.

I wanted to dress as a eunuch

and show it to you, Queen Mother.

Queen Mother, you don't know. I'm really handsome when I dress up as a man.

Queen Mother, look. Do I look handsome?

Do I look like you, Queen Mother?

Then, I shall see if the guy on the bed is handsome.

Get out!

What... What guy? How is there a guy?

Queen Mother, you can't see the thing inside. Queen Mother.

Get out! You're stopping me.

I knew it isn't something good.

Queen Mother! Mother!

Princess, your bed is clean...

Your Majesty is here?

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Why didn't you choose heaven

but hell?

Princess, if you have no other request,

I'll play with your birds in the garden.

-I will now retreat. -Stand there!

Your Majesty, I didn't wash my braid

for really long.

Don't dirty your hand. Your hand.

Don't move!

Gui, you're so good at martial arts.

Teach me!

Who's there?

Leader Hong, may you be happy and healthy forever.

Leader Hong, may you be happy and healthy forever.

Where did you get this?

I'm the Dragon Master Bai of this cult,

appointed by Leader Hong. He granted me this Five Dragon Token.

Greetings, Dragon Master Bai.

Do you know

who taught me the skill

I used to capture you just now?

Move from the other side. Stay away from me.

I don't know.

Lady and the leader.

They taught me 30 skills each.

Among them, Leader Hong's skills are more advanced.

Any of his skills can kill a person.

But, I didn't plan to kill you just now.

So, I only used a skill taught by the Lady.

The Soaring Swallow.

It was to warn you.

Thank you for not killing me. I appreciate it.

I will definitely repay you.

What are you looking at? Can you see it?

Can you see that I lost my shoe?

It's beside you.

Wait a minute. No.

Don't come close.

Just throw it to me.

What?

Throw it.

This time, those who followed I...

I...

This time, those who followed me back to Capital are

Lu Gao Xuan

and Fatty.

-Fat Monk. -Yes.

They are waiting for my letter in an inn in Capital.

If anything happens to me,

they will return to

Mystic Dragon Island and inform the leader immediately.

Why will that happen?

This... I should be punished

for what I did previously.

Indeed, you should be punished!

Get up!

Look at my hand!

Get up!

Can't you let the leader worry less?

Else, why would he appoint me an important task

like getting the scripture?

I'm telling you. If you still act abruptly,

I'll bring you and Jian Ning back for punishment

immediately!

No.

I'm guilty. I shall be punished.

Dragon Master Bai, please let Princess Jian Ning go.

I didn't know that

you care about your daughter so much.

Because she's my daughter,

I can't let her know about the Mystic Dragon Island.

Else, her life is ruined.

Don't worry.

I, Dragon Master Bai, will keep my promise.

As long as you don't act abruptly,

I will definitely not bring her to the Mystic Dragon Island.

I will never forget your kindness, Dragon Master Bai.

Just say it! Stay away from me!

This is the case... The...

I know that you like Jian Ning, Dragon Master Bai.

Why don't you accept her?

What?

Accept her?

You...

So many men with high status

is waiting to marry her.

Who am I?

I'm just a small figure.

Look, Dragon Master Bai.

You're already in a high position at such a young age.

Deputy Chief Wei.

You have a promising future!

Dragon Master Bai, please follow me to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.

I have something good for the leader and the Lady.

Please.

You have good sense.

Thank you for your praise, Dragon Master Bai.

Dragon Master Bai.

There are 30 Snow Ginseng Jade Toad Pills here.

They are tributes from the Joseon Kingdom.

They are priceless.

Please give 12 of them to the leader

and 10 of them to the Lady.

You can take the remaining 8 pills, Dragon Master Bai.

This is part of my sincerity.

Let me ask you.

Can these pills be eaten together

with those pills?

Those pills?

Leopard Fetus Pill.

Definitely.

Congratulations, Dragon Master Bai.

For getting the Leopard Fetus Pill from the leader.

How silly are you?

How is eating that pill a good thing?

I don't even know

what I'll look like if I can't get the antidote.

That makes sense.

Did... Did the leader ask you

to bring my antidote for this year here?

You ate it too?

No wonder.

How silly are you?

If he gave me the antidote,

why didn't I eat it but leave it to you?

Who am I?

That... That makes sense.

Don't worry.

The leader and the Lady said.

They said that

if you're loyal to them

and try your best,

they won't mistreat you. Don't worry.

Thank you, Dragon Master Bai.

I have three parts of the Sutra of Forty Two Chapters.

I asked Deng Bing Chun and Liu Yan to pass them

to the leader.

I guess that he has received them.

Really?

Yes.

Alright then.

Since you got three parts of it,

it's a great achievement.

But, there are still five parts of it.

You must try your best

to complete this mission.

Don't disappoint the leader and the Lady.

Yes. I have been thinking of ways

to get the other five parts every day,

in order to repay the leader's kindness.

Good. Very good.

You're as loyal as me. This is good.

You'll get the antidote soon.

Yes.

Enough. Let's stop the nonsense.

Let's have a chat.

Tell me.

How did you enter this cult?

Tell me in detail.

No exaggeration.

Tell me everything.

Yes. I will not lie a single word.

I...

What's the matter? Say it.

Your Majesty. His Majesty is looking for Eunuch Gui.

It's urgent.

His Majesty wants him to go immediately.

Alright. You may leave.

Since His Majesty is looking for you,

you may go.

Yes.

-It hurts. -Be careful.

Your acting was good. Your expression changed so fast.

Thank you, Dragon Master Bai.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you.

Your hat.

Alright. I'll leave now.

Goodbye, Dragon Master Bai.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Please get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Let's sit down and talk.

Wait a minute.

Take this.

This is an edict of rewarding the monks in Shaolin Temple.

You... Order 40 imperial guards

and two thousand soldiers from the Cavalry Brigade

to go to Shaolin Temple for a task.

What task?

It's written on this edict.

Don't open it now.

Open it when you reach the Shaolin Temple.

Then...

I'll promote you.

Wei Xiao Bao.

I'm appointing you as the Deputy Chief of the Plain Yellow Banner of the Cavalry Brigade.

This is a second-class minister.

You are a Han Chinese.

Now, I will register you as a Manchu.

This is called raising the banner.

You can still keep your position

as the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Guards.

Thank you for your blessing, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, to be honest,

I don't care about my status.

As long as I can be by your side,

I'm satisfied.

You don't care?

You! Cunning guy.

You kept asking me not to make you leave.

I didn't. Actually, I understand

your worries.

Your Majesty didn't ask me to become a monk in Qingliang Temple,

but let me bring the troops to Shaolin Temple to pass them this edict.

Your Majesty is letting me enjoy the limelight first.

Have a taste of the sweetness before the bitterness.

Enjoy first and struggle in pain later.

Get lost!

He even bought a rouge.

He bought so many.

This is great.

Shuang Er. I'm back.

Master, you're back?

Look. I bought you a lot of good things.

So many things.

Are these for me?

Of course.

Rouges, hair sticks and mirror.

They are all good things from Capital.

I'm so tired.

I'll give you a massage then.

You! Shameless man and lady!

I'll kill you!

Master, are you ok?

Who are you?

How dare you hit me?

I'll kill you!

Are you ok?

I'm alright. Just a little blood.

It doesn't hurt.

I don't want to live anymore!

-What are you doing? -I'm committing suicide!

This is the second floor. You won't die after you jump down.You'll suffer more.

Then, let's jump from the city gate together!

What are you doing?

Since you love each other,

let's die together!

What are you talking about? Who are you?

I'm the princess.

Why aren't you kneeling down?

You're the princess?

Yes. Why? Are you scared?

-I'll kill you! -No way!

She's the princess of the Qing Court. She's my enemy.

-Master, save me! -Master, get out!

-Master, save me! -Master, get out!

What about this? I'll be the first, you'll be the second. Is that ok?

What are the first and the second?

I'll be the first wife, you'll be the second wife.

We will serve Master together.

-You! Shameless! -Master, bring me along.

I know that you're going to Shaolin Temple. I want to go too!

-Go where? -You cannot go!

-Shaolin Temple! I want to go too! -You cannot go!

-I want to go to Shaolin Temple! -You can't bring her there!

Stop it!

It hurts!

Get lost!

Brother Lu. Why does he have so many women?

Why is there even a princess?

No matter if she's the real one,

he's really a winner.

I envy him so much.

I don't want to return to the palace!

Enough, Princess.

You've been dragging along the way.

You are a princess. Where can you go if you don't return to the palace?

You are a princess.

But, you run out so frequently.

I think you're really annoying.

I'll only annoy you. What's wrong?

Alright.

I'll talk to His Majesty next time.

I'll ask him to arrange

a rich and handsome man for you.

You can marry him under everyone's witness.

Stop!

I'm tired! Let me down!

You're tired?

Let me down!

-Go there! -Alright.

I'm telling you.He's useless even if he's rich.

Then, what do you want?

Of course, I need to find someone who can handle my punch.

Then, you will be single forever.

If I'll be single forever,

I'll make you into a real eunuch first.

Officer Wei.

Officer Wei.

Officer.

Everyone's here.

Have a seat.

This is the case. I'll make it short.

This...It's not lunchtime yet, right?

Not yet.

This is the case.

This...

Besides drinking,

what else can we spend our time with?

Nothing else.

You're acting.

You're acting again.

Enough.

Let's gamble!

So many guards?

Yes.

I have an idea.

So comfortable!

Let's move.
