Truth or Dare

Episode 16

Eternal Prosperity

Did you fall in love with Lord Shiqing?

You...

No...

What are you talking about?

How could I...

How could I fall in love with him?

He... He is such stupid.

Obviously, I hate him.

Then why are you so abnormal?

What happened last night?

I said that

I just

happened to fall into the water when I walked

last night.

Don't ask anymore.

It's impossible for me to have a crush on

Mei Shiqing.

Hope so.

After all, Mei Shiqing was arranged

to marry Lady Yingyao by His Majesty.

Once she come back, you have to return this position back to her.

Right.

I...

We have made a deal at the beginning.

I know that.

The horse has been fed.

Okay.

My daughter.

I was so worried about you.

Come on, have a seat.

Uncle He.

How's your health？

I'm fine.

Well, how about you?

Nan Batian has promised that he would not marry me.

That's good.

But

his condition is that Bao has to catch the Lord Nocturnal-elf.

Lord Nocturnal-elf?

Lord Nocturnal-elf has a wonderful kungfu.

It's not easy to catch him.

Right.

Bao has failed to catch him for several times.

And he hardly be killed this time.

I think that

the Lord Nocturnal-elf is a good man.

I don't want him to be influenced by

my personal issue.

Well, let me ask you one question.

Does Bao get injured?

Okay.

Since Bao got injured,

it means that they wouldn't take actions recently.

We have to use this chance to run away.

We have failed to run away for so many times.

It's not that easy.

Do you know why you failed?

Why?

I've just realized that since I came here.

There is a maze outside the Stockade

So it's impossible to run away.

A maze?

Since it's a maze,

we can look for the drawing of this maze.

Then we are free to go.

But the point is where we can find the drawing.

Uncle He,

this drawing is related to the security of the Dragon Stockade.

So it must be kept with Nan Batian.

- What if I went to look for it? - Right.

You go to Nan Batian?

No, no. Too dangerous.

We have to choose another one.

Then, I will go to Nan Xiang.

Are you insane?

Nan Xiang would kill you.

If you go to her, she will kill you.

But Uncle He,

there is no other way out.

Nan Batian is not here these days.

Let me go to Nan Xiang.

If he is not here, that would be fine.

Then...

Are you done?

Okay. Okay.

We'll finish soon.

Uncle He, trust me.

Then, be careful.

Okay.

Dad, take care.

I got it.

You too, take care.

Protect yourself.

Come on, come on.

Small or big?

Come on, quickly.

Lady Nan Xiang.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to make friends with you.

What? Want to be killed?

I'm warning you. Stay away from me.

Look at my hands.

I've been cured long ago.

If you treat me like this again,

Bao will

hate you more.

That's none of your business

whether Bao hates me.

I can make Bao fall in love with you.

Go.

Leave.

Let's go.

But my...

Let's go.

You are not lying to me?

Why will you help me?

I have to marry your dad sooner or later.

I don't want to have a bad relationship with you all the time.

So if you can help me now, and I will

help you as well.

Well,

are you sure Bao would fall in love with me?

If we can make friends and live in peace,

he will be very happy.

And he will think that you are generous, which makes him

fall in love with you.

Nonsense!

I grew up with Bao since childhood.

If he wants to love me,

he would love me long ago.

There is no need to wait till now.

Look,

he's just known me for few days,

and he likes me now.

Right?

So you have to believe me.

I can help you.

Okay.

From now on,

I'll protect you.

You make Bao fall in love with me.

That's the gesture for men.

Between girls,

holding hands would be enough.

We only make friends for interests.

Don't touch me.

Since I've promised you to help

you to win the heart of Bao,

you have to listen to me from now on.

You don't behave like a girl.

What Bao needs is a gentle wife,

instead of a brother who can play with him.

You...

Come on.

Let's go. Keep smiling.

Come on.

Open it. Come on.

Hurry up.

Right.

Look.

Just tell me what you want to learn.

I can teach you.

I just want to learn what Bao likes.

He will definitely like you.

What's going on?

What... what's going on?

Am I in the dream?

Why did you pinch me?

So I'm not in a dream.

Bao, did you sleep well last night?

Not bad.

Bao,

are you alright?

Come here, I've something to tell you.

I...

Did Nan Xiang bully you again?

No.

Don't be afraid.

Just tell me if she bullied you.

No, really.

Then, what's going on?

Living here makes me feel terrified.

It's better to have a friend instead of an enemy.

Fair enough.

Anyway, for whatever you want,

I'll support you.

Don't worry.

I will catch the Lord Nocturnal-elf,

and father won't...

I know.

You don't like hearing it

that I'm going to catch the Lord Nocturnal-elf.

But I think...

What you need to do now

is to have a good rest.

Don't think anything else.

What are you saying?

No... Nothing.

You may leave.

Just do whatever you like.

Go, come on.

Let's go to my room to talk.

Let's go.

Even your woman knows how to protect herself.

Bao,

you have to work hard!

That fits you well.

Choose one.

Sugar-coated haws.

Is this street interesting?

Brother Situ.

What a small world!

You come for the wonton as well?

Right.

Just hang around, since I'm not busy.

Lady, can I sit here?

Have a seat please, Brother Situ.

Thank you.

See you.

What's wrong?

What are you worried about?

Look at your face, so upset.

To think you can tell that.

I... It's a long story.

I don't know how to say.

If you are worried about something,

just wait

till the mist goes away,

and you'll be able to see clearly.

Right.

Waiting is the only choice for me now.

I can do nothing else.

Just hope that

the good news is coming soon.

But you should remember

that I'll support you

whatever happened.

Thank you, Brother Situ.

It's very kind of you.

Then, let me buy you the wonton today.

Just enjoy the wonton.

Really?

Sure.

Mister, two bowls of wonton.

No,

four bowls.

Five bowls of wonton.

- Five bowls - Okay.

Five bowls? Can you eat up all of them?

No, I won't eat, that's for you.

All for me?

Right, you can be heavier then.

Okay.

I will work hard.

- But you... - No, I can't.

You have to have some with me.

Where are you going?

I just remember that I have something to ask Qiaoyun to do.

You can ask Siheng to do.

What a bad memory I'm having.

I've told her already. Right.

Take a seat, have some tea.

I'm not thirsty.

Not thirsty?

It seems that you did drink lots of tea during the day.

What tea?

Qing City is not a big place.

I know

you had tea with

a man.

You mean Brother Situ?

We are just friends. Don't get me wrong.

You call him

Brother Situ?

Right.

He is a bit older than me.

So I call him "brother". Is it not right?

You are a Lady

and the wife of me, the young General.

How can you call someone else "brother"?

What are you talking about?

What's wrong with calling him "brother"?

Are you jealous?

Ridiculous.

How can I be jealous?

I'm worried about your safety.

Got it?

What's wrong with my safety?

We are just friends.

He doesn't even know my identity.

It's easy for him to know your identity.

Even if he knows,

he won't have any other intentions.

In a word,

stay away from him.

You...

Brother Situ is kind, friendly and nice.

Not like you.

So cold. And have no friend.

That's what you think of me?

Did I go too far just now?

Right, a little bit.

Wait.

Did he ask

ask you to investigate the thing about private salt?

Yes.

How's it going?

Forget it.

I won't push you if he doesn't allow you to say.

Then, you can go to the Lord.

I've arranged the spies

to follow this.

Once they find private salt,

they will report to me.

These enemies are not easy to deal with.

We must plan well.

Tell Rou,

watch the Dragon Stockade carefully.

The Dragon Stockade hasn't taken actions recently,

we must be careful.

Yes.

And

for the one who wants to catch

the Lord Nocturnal-elf,

once he shows up, get him right away.

Yes.

Don't worry.

Who is this?

Siheng.

Well,

look,

the paint is fading.

Find someone to...

Are you caring about the investigation

or me?

I... How can I care about you?

I, Pelletie, care the most about

upholding justice and getting rid of the bad people.

Right?

Right.

Siheng,

there is a new cook in the Felicity Tavern?

Oh yes, right.

I heard he can cook something like West Lake Fish in Vinegar Gravy

and Fried Tofu with Crab Roe.

Thanks to me,

otherwise, you know,

these dishes will go to waste.

Lord Shiqing, this chicken is good.

And the ribs are...

Lord Shiqing, Lady Yingyao,

what do you think about the meal today?

It's so delicious.

Especially this

Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs.

Oh my!

It's so yummy!

Lord Shiqing, I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

Don't mind her. She only cares the food.

According to the investigation,

the Salter Cartel paid Dragon Stockade to catch

the Lord Nocturnal-elf.

I'm wondering

how long can they hold on

to play this game.

Just say you trust me.

Why did you describe me as an eating machine?

Mister, this way.

Brother Situ?

Lord Shiqing, My Lady.

It turns out that brother Situ did know my identity.

Mister Situ.

Your fame precedes you.

What a small world!

Are you here for having dinner?

Yes.

I won't keeping you.

Come.

Oh, right,

The Qing's Chamber of Commerce will hold a celebration in 3 days.

Would you please join us?

What celebration?

This is a great event for our Qing Province.

Although Qing is an important military area,

many businessmen are willing to

do business here since it's a comfort place.

So they will surely come.

You should come too, my lady.

There will be lots of good food and fun.

And even shows.

Really?

I will surely go.

I've sent invitations

to your palace.

Remember to give me the invite later.

Please take Mr Situ to the balcony upstairs.

You hear me?

Please.

Remember to give me the invite.

You hear me?

Why do you hit me?

You...

My invite!

It hurts.

So you know.

Of course I know.

Don't change subject.

Give me the invite.

You really want to go?

Of course I do. Don't you?

They hold it every year.

I'm tired of it.

Besides,

Haven't you grown up in Qing?

You didn't watch it?

I never been there actually.

These are the activities that you rich people go to.

How can a poor family like us

have the chance to go?

Do you want to go to the celebration,

or to meet the Situ?

Both.

Since he invited me,

why can't I go?

You're the princess now.

They may see you through if you go.

I want to go all the more because

I have to be a good princess now.

If I don't go when I'm invited,

that's more likely to arouse suspicion

and give the game away, isn't it?

Qiaoyun.

You get me a dress to wear

for the celebration.

OK.

I...

It's OK. It's OK.

It's OK. It's OK.

My lord.

I don't get it.

What is it?

Rou has found out about the Salter Cartel.

And Situ seems to have to do with it.

Tell me.

Her ladyship has been getting along with him lately.

Why don't you tell her?

She,

she's innocent and has no idea

that people can be so complicated.

And the less she knows about

the Salter Cartel, the safer she is.

My lord, in fact,

you could just tell our lady

that you don't like her to get along with Situ.

Just tell her

you're jealous.

Don't be angry.

I said too much.

Am I?

Am I... that easily to get jealous?

I don't like her to spend time with Situ Ling?

My lord, I'm not the person you should explain to.

Mei Siheng.

I just found that you always make me angry.

Do I?

It's all my fault.

I should never have spoken your mind.

Your fault.

Your fault.

Anyway, you...

You keep an eye on him

and find evidence.

Yes.

Yes?

You're laughing.

- I'm not. - Stop laughing.

You laugh and loaf every day.

Remember your duty.

Am I...

Am I jealous?

Am I such a guy?

My mother.

You are truly magnificent and without compare.

That's the lady of General Mei's Palace.

Your father doesn't usually like to attend such events.

You and I go there

to represent the Mei's Palace.

We can't let people look down upon us.

Celebration of Chamber of Commerce.

Aristocrats in the capital may come as well.

I wish they could see

how good looking my son is.

Getting you a wife

is my purpose.

Thank you, mother.

Mom, will Mei Shiqing and his wife go, too?

I sent a maid to inquire about it.

The princess intended to go

but Me Shiqing simply doesn't allow.

As long as that stubborn ass doesn't go.

Mom.

It's time.

Let's set off.

OK.

Careful, mother.

You look pretty good

when you dress up.

But is it alright that

His Lordship doesn't come along?

We said that we would go.

So we must.

Or we lost face.

But there seems a drum

that raises an alarm

in my heart.

I...

Don't worry.

We'll be there,

we'll just say hello and leave.

We'll be fine. Let's go.

Flirtatious.

What? Am I not looking good?

Poor taste.

You think I'm not going just because you say that?

You can't provoke me.

Are you coming along, my lord?

No.

Waste time.

Qiaoyun, let's go.

This way, please.

Long time no see.

So many big shots.

My lady and Lord Shiyuan.

Welcome.

Thanks.

Today is a big day for the Chamber of Commerce.

Mr Situ is must be very busy.

Don't bother too much about us.

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

I'm just wondering

if Lord Shiqing and the princess are coming along?

Shiqing doesn't like attending events,

so it's inconvenient for the princess to come alone.

My lady.

Mr Situ.

My lady, my lord.

The presence of you, my lady,

brings glory to our celebration.

You're flattering me, Mr Sity.

This place is really impressive.

Thank you.

My lady, how about I show you round?

Okay.

Please.

Please.

Look,

the mountain over here...

Wait, how come she's here?

If she is to be the limelight today

isn't that adding to Mei Shiqing's glory?

But if she loses face,

that's bad for Mei Shiqing, too.

Who knows?

Why does Situ Ling...?

Let's go have a look.

Let's go.

Attention, please.

First of all,

Welcome to the Chamber of Commerce.

It is a pleasure for me.

Great. Great.

In previous years, it was us who attended the celebration,

but it's great to have you here, princess.

Thank you, Madam.

You all know

Every time in celebration,

we invite some talented

and learned person

to write an inscription. - Princess

Your brother-in-law wrote the inscriptions for the past years,

this year should be him again.

This time will be no different.

But most important of all,

we have the princess this time.

The princess. The princess.

Everyone knows that

her ladyship is the most talented female in the capital,

this time let's invite her

to write an inscription for us.

Great. Great.

Mother.

Mother.

The inscription has always been made by my brother-in-law,

- I just arrived in Qing. - Yes.

I'm not familiar with the celebration.

So I think,

it's better let my brother-in-law do it.

That's right.

I think that

since Lord Shiyuan wrote it every year,

let's give him a rest this year.

Wait, you...

We're all looking forward to it.

Princess, please don't refuse.

Yeah, come on.

Welcome!

Welcome! Great! Come on!

Please, princess.

Princess, please don't refuse.

Please.

Princess. Princess. Princess.

Mom.

I'm pissed off.

Please.

Great.

So exciting.

It's a honour to have the princess to inscribe this year.

Yeah.

Wait.

"Together we achieve great beauty".

I'll write it together with the princess.

Great.

It's done. Let me.

I think I've done a good job.

Eternal Prosperity.

Wonderful!

Well write.

Nice!

Nice!

Great. That's the princess!

Yes, indeed.

Didn't you say you weren't coming?

How can I see you embarrassed if I don't come?

You...

Bravo!

Well done.

Great!

Well done!

Awesome.

Amazing.

Thank you.

That is agreeable, Mr Situ.

This is my trophy.

What's the meaning of it?

This is a reserved item for the Chamber of Commerce.

We call it

"honor in commerce".

Fair play

is the key to business.

There is honor in commerce.

Anyone,

no matter his status is high or low,

can obtain the totem

by their own strength.

Whoever grabs the totem

will be lucky for a year.

Lucky?

You believe that?

Of course.

I'm going to give the good luck to princess.

Princess.

Since it's so much fun,

why don't Mr Situ play with me?

You are into this, too?

Sure I will pass this good luck

to my wife.

I shall agree then.

Wait for me.

You see, these two men

are seemingly play game with each other,

but fighting for real.

In addition to the competition for fame and wealth,

what left to a man is women.

That's right.

You're good at martial arts, Mr Situ.

I do business all over the world,

of course know some kung fu for self-defense.

Then I shall show no mercy.

Go ahead.

Brother Situ, are you all right?

Bravo! Amazing!

Lord Shiqing is a kung fu master.

I'm impressed.

Brilliant.

Great.

It's just a game.

Why do you use such a heavy hand, Shiqing?

Yes, Shiqing.

You beat him too hard.

Do you really have to be so competitive?

It was happy event,

but look what you've done

to Mr Situ.

That happens in kung fu.

Thanks Mr Situ for the good luck you bring us.

My appreciation.

Thank you, too.

-Princess. -You go.

My lady. My lady.

Please don't be angry.

You misunderstood my lord.

I know you don't like him,

but you don't have to do that, do you?

I didn't mean to.

Yes, you are on purpose.

My lady.

My lord, she knows nothing about it.

Why don't you just explain?

Stubborn.

Go back.

You're a general,

and you beat a civilian.

Is it because you

don't like me being friends with him?

I'll lay my life on it

that the truth it's not what you see.

And Situ Lin

is not a good man at all,

I tell you the truth...

- Situ Lin... - Shut up.

Why isn't Situ Lin a good man?

Make it clearly.

There's nothing here for you two.

Go away.

You haven't finished yet.

Wait,

Why on earth do you think

brother Situ is a bad guy?

You really care about him that much?

He is my friend,

of course I care about him.

Why did you hurt him?

If you think I hurt him,

is it any good if I explain?

You have this attitude when you've done

something wrong?

You are so disappointing.

I have something to remind you of.

What?

Siheng is right.

Stay away from Situ Ling.

Don't I even have the right

to make friends?

Sometimes things are not as simple as you think.

His business is not very clean.

I'm not listening to you.

He's my friend and I trust him.
