Episode 33

Who are you? How did you get the keys?

Lady Xinyue, it's me.

It's you. What brings you here?

His Highness knows that someone is trying to kill you.

We're running out of time. Please get changed first.

I shall explain to you after leaving here.

Duke.

I've been lying down for a long time. It's tiring.

What if the warden finds you?

Duke,...

...I've dug the hole for you.

I don't want the money anymore. Please let me go.

When did you start to do a losing business?

Duke, you have no idea. I've asked the fortune-teller.

He told me that you're the jinx in my life.

There is nothing good if I stay with you.

What nonsense is that? I'm the God of Fortune in your life.

Did you say the God of Fortune?

What's it? -It's Jerry.

What's Jerry? -It's a rat.

A rat?

It's made of pure gold.

No way. I won't do it no matter how much money you give me.

It's too dangerous.

It's based on the decree. It's granted by His Majesty.

Is this golden rat going to be mine?

It'll be yours if you give me two days.

I can only give you a day.

Deal! -That's great!

Lie down. Hurry.

Follow me.

It's Xinyue. -Where are we going?

No worries. His Highness has found a safe place in the city.

We shall leave before the people of the court find out.

Let's see what they're trying to do.

This way please.

This is.....

Don't be afraid. Hou Junji's found where Hou Xiaomei was buried.

His Highness had no choice but to take her corpse out...

...and put it here. Sorry to have frightened you.

When is Chengqian coming?

His Highness will be here once he settles the things in the palace.

How did Hou Junji find out?

I have no idea.

Could it be...

...someone saw His Highness and you...

...killing her?

No, it couldn't be!

At that time,...

...I was alone there.

What about when you buried her corpse?

Did anyone see you?

No.

No one saw me.

Please think again, lady. -At that time,...

...Chengqian brought me to a remote place.

When we buried Hou Xiaomei,...

...no one could have seen us.

I see.

Xinyue was the one who killed Hou Xiaomei...

...and Chengqian helped her to bury the corpse!

How could this be?

I have to stay calm. This man is suspicious.

He tried to ask Xinyue when she was panic.

He shouldn't be Chengqian's man. Xinyue may be in danger.

I have to get ready and act according to the situation.

What shall we do now?

You should have a look at her.

What did you say? -Look at her terrible state.

What are you trying to do?

Don't worry. I still need your help.

I won't kill you.

Have a look!

Let me go!

Are you afraid of looking at her now?

Look at her! -Help!

Who is that? -Master asked you...

...to bring Lu Xinyue away from here quickly.

Did you mean the order from master?

Okay. You may come in.

Who are you?

Stop.

Take off your mask.

Who are you? Come out!

General Hou told me to kill you.

Why would master.....

Who are you?

Who are you?

You may leave first. -Yes.

Thank you. -Sorry for your loss.

Someone wants to meet you.

Who is that?

Come in.

Lady. -Sister Anlan.

Uncle Shen?

Didn't you promise me to send them out of the city?

Didn't you promise me that they won't be involved?

Lady, don't blame His Highness. We wanted to stay here.

I can handle it by myself.

I don't need you. You may leave. -Sister Anlan,...

...we've known your plan.

Although you don't want to get us in trouble,...

...there is no other way for us Mohists now.

Your brother has died. I don't want to get you in trouble, too.

Leave with the rest of Mohists now.

Lady, we can't leave you here.

Sister.

If you don't agree, I shall kill myself here...

...and follow Brother Gongshu. -Sister Anlan,...

...my brother was willing to die for you. He has just passed away.

We have to take revenge for him.

I know. I'll take revenge for him.

Lady, this is not only your revenge. It's ours, too.

Have you forgotten our ancestor's preaching?

I dare not forget that. -Read it aloud, Xiaojing.

The Mohists should love each other and...

...share weal and woe.

Time will never wait for us.

After the mishap,...

...there are only 18 of us now.

This token represents our leader.

All of us select Li Anlan...

...as the 23rd leader of Mohists.

We'll follow the preaching of Mohists...

...and share weal and woe together with Lady Anlan.

Sister, you should just accept it. If our plan fails,...

...the Mohists will be punished, too.

Instead of living without pride, why don't we share weal and woe?

For the sake of Mohists,...

...I'm willing to take this responsibility.

Greetings, Leader Anlan. -If destiny...

...wants to destroy us Mohists, we'll fight against it...

...until we die. -Yes.

Don't tell anyone. Close the door.

How is Xinyue?

She's fine. She just passed out.

I can rest my mind knowing that both of you are safe.

That day, we were told that...

...two of you were put in the prison.

We were shocked.

We wanted to visit you but they didn't allow us to do that.

I had experienced it before.

I couldn't take it the second time.

God bless us. -Grandma,...

...Xinyue and I broke out of the prison.

Broke out.....

I believe in you.

No matter what you do, I believe in you.

Worse comes to worst, we shall just leave Chang'an.

It doesn't matter where we go.

As long as you are there, our family will be there.

Don't worry, grandma. We'll just stay here.

I'll solve the problem.

Okay. I'll wait for you outside. Call me if you need help.

Grandma, don't tell anyone that we're back.

I know.

I'll go out first.

Let me go! -Xinyue!

It's me. -Brother Yun.

Is this Yun manor?

We're safe now.

Why am I here? -You passed out just now.

I was the one who brought you back.

Xinyue, I've heard your conversation.

Why did you kill Hou Xiaomei? -I didn't mean it,...

...but if she didn't die,...

...Chengqian would be ruined. -Therefore, you killed her?

When I met her, she had been badly injured.

Even if I saved her,...

...she might...

...not survive.

Fine, let me ask you.

Is Chengqian involved in the fire of Mountain Yu?

I have no idea. -Xinyue,...

...if you tell me the truth now, I may be able to help.

If not, there is no way for you to turn back anymore.

Do you know that? -Brother Yun,...

...I still remember your kindness...

...but please don't force me.

It's going to happen anyway.

Why can't you just stay out of it to protect Yun family?

Isn't it good?

Hou Junji might have known that...

...you killed his daughter. -What did you say?

You mean Hou Junji has known the truth?

No, I must leave now.

Where are you going? Are you going to look for Chengqian?

Yes, I have to inform him.

Fine, but you should get changed first.

Your clothes are too obvious.

I'll prepare the carriage for you. -Thank you, Brother Yun.

Grandma, did you bring the key? -Yes.

Grandma, don't let Xinyue leave the room.

From today on, no one is allowed to come here except you.

It's related to our fate.

Bear in mind. -What's going on?

Why do you have to lock her up? -I have no time to explain now.

Please follow my instruction.

Remember. No matter what she says, you mustn't be soft-hearted.

I'll explain to you after I settle this matter.

Well.....

State Duke, I have something to report.

Come in.

State Duke. -Go ahead.

We went to the empty house as we planned...

...but only Lady Mei's corpse was there.

There was no sign of Lu Xinyue and Sir Chen.

Find their whereabouts,...

...and keep a close eye on Chen Biao's mother.

If Chen Biao betrays us,...

...just kill all of them. -Yes.

State Duke, shall I bring back...

...Lady Mei's corpse?

It's not necessary. -Then she.....

It's pointless to do anything once one has passed away.

It can be used for other purpose.

Leave it in the empty house first.

Yes.

Why are we here in Ke Wu Yuan?

You'll know soon. Take out the seal and open it.

Yes. -Yes.

Your Highness. -Your Highness.

You've brought them here to make the explosives secretly.

The explosives are the most important part of our plan.

By having the explosives, we're able to fight with father.

Where are you going to place the explosives?

I'll place them outside the city. -When?

When father comes back.

Are you going to kill father?

It's just a threat. I won't kill father till I'm forced to do it.

The explosives will be used to stop father and his army...

...so that we can buy more time.

However, the explosives are too powerful and hard to control.

The incident in Mountain Yu may be repeated and hurt the innocents.

How can we be soft-hearted if we want to make an achievement?

If not, more people will be killed. Don't you know that?

Chengqian, I have something to ask you.

Please be frank with me. -Go ahead.

Did you plan the incident of Mountain Yu?

No. -Good.

Your Highness. -Tell me what you saw.

I followed His Highness as you ordered...

...and found out that His Highness...

...went to Ke Wu Yuan again.

Did His Highness go alone? -No, he went with...

...a woman. -What kind of woman is she?

She's stealthy.

She even wore a cloak. I couldn't see her face.

I see. -Your Highness,...

...His Majesty sealed the place but His Highness opens it,...

...will it cause any problem?

Why don't Your Highness talk to His Highness?

Xiao Mei, sometimes we should just keep quiet.

If not, we'll be hated by others.

Perhaps it's my fate.

Uncle Shen. -Leader.

Your Highness. -Is everything okay?

It's hard to complete it with insufficient materials and time.

How much can we make? -We may only make 30% of it.

No, it's not sufficient.

What about I increase the manpower?

No, it can't help us because they don't know how to make it.

If the soldiers from Mountain Yu can come back,...

...they may be able to help us. If not,...

...it's pointless to send more people here.

Those soldiers are father's men.

I have no right to order them. -I have a solution.

Yun Ye has come up with a new explosive.

It's more powerful than the previous one.

His drawing should still be in Qiqiao Lobby.

I'll send my man to get it now. -No.

He hid it in the secret chamber. It can't be found easily.

I'll go by myself.

It's inconvenient for me to take it now. I'll do it at night.

Okay.

I'm done. Have a look.

Have you seen this man before?

No.

Are you sure? Please have a look again.

Although I'm old, my eyesight and memory are still good.

It's true that I didn't see him before.

That's strange.

Was a badly injured girl sent here...

...and was taken care by Xinyue? -Yes.

She was badly injured...

...and I couldn't save her.

Didn't anyone ask about her after that?

Yes, a man who claimed to be her elder brother came.

However, His Highness told me to keep it as a secret.

If not, it may get her family into trouble.

That man looked suspicious so I didn't tell him.

Are you sure it's not him? -Yes.

Kids!

Have you see him before? -What's it?

What's it? -I'll reward you with sweets.

I've seen him! -Where did you see him?

Give me the sweets first.

Where did you see him?

I saw him at Bei Tian Fang's door.

Did he talk to you? -He asked me...

...how I got the sachet.

I told him that I got it from the old lady from Daxing Street.

I think he knows the old lady, and he gave me a snack, too.

Did you say the old lady from Daxing Street?

Who are you looking for? -Hi, madam.

I'm Physician Sun's friend.

I need your help to sew my clothes.

You're Physician Sun's friend? Hurry. Come in.

Okay.

Have a seat. -Okay.

I've lost my eyesight...

...and could hardly see things.

Although I've lost my eyesight,...

...my mind is still clear.

I didn't forget my skill...

...and I could still sew clothes.

Are you staying alone here? -Yes.

Don't you have any kins? -Due to the battles,...

...I've lost contact with them...

...and couldn't find them anymore.

What about your kids?

I had a son who became a soldier...

...but passed away at Xuanwumen.

I was a soldier, too. Maybe I knew your son.

What's his name? Which general was he working for?

My son is Chen Biao.

He...

...was working with General Hou.

Are you talking about Hou Junji? -Yes, it's him.

My son's corpse...

...was buried by General Hou's men.

You've lost your eyesight, and have been living alone here.

You must have suffered a lot.

No, after my son passed away, his friend...

...often comes to visit me and take care of me.

Moreover, I sew clothes for others and...

...sell sachets to make a living.

Over the years,...

...my life is stable.

Run!

Run! -Hurry!

What's wrong?

What's going on? -There are bad people!

Don't be afraid! I'll protect you!

Follow me.

Madam, let me carry you on my back.

It's over there! Hurry! -This way!

Hurry! -Stop running!

Stop running!

Stop!

Run!

Chen Biao, let's go!

Go!

Madam!

Madam! -She's fine.

She just passed out.

What are you doing? -You need to stop the bleeding.

I don't need that.

That man was ruthless.

He has a scar on his neck.

He's either a swordsman or a soldier.

You've recognised me. -Yes.

Hou Junji won't let you go even if you kill me.

I didn't expect to die with you.

Can you stop cursing me? I don't want to die with you.

Those killers were my subordinates.

They'll be here soon. I don't have much energy.

I'll lure them away.

Go as far as you can with her.

You're her son.

Just pretend that she doesn't have a son.

No, you can't die yet. I still have many questions to ask you.

I had prepared a carriage before I came.

As long as we can get there, we may be safe.

If we go out now, none of us will survive.

Wake up! -Why is the door opened?

Wake up! -What's going on?

Check it out now! Hurry!

Duke, are you okay?

Sir, Lu Xinyue is gone! -What did you say?

Let's go!

Let's go! -Hurry!

He's over there!

Run! -Let's go!

How dare you, Jiang Yi!

I'm sorry, Leader Chen.

Kill him.

Where is he?

After him!

Bear with it.

You're badly injured. I'll send you to the pharmacy now.

No, send my mother out of the city first.

You'll die by then. Moreover, you can't die now.

Yun Ye,...

...I know you'll keep your promise.

I'll tell you everything that you want to know...

...but promise me that...

...you'll send my mother out of the city and take care of her.

I promise you. -You must keep your promise.

You may ask now.

Do you know what it is?

Where did you get it?

This was left in the mouth of Tian Hezi when he passed away.

It was because of this that...

...you went to investigate the incident of Xuanwumen.

I know Tian Hezi too well.

The character "Shen" represents...

...my master, Hou Junji.

Was his death related to Hou Junji?

The person who killed Tian Hezi...

...was me.

After the incident of Xuanwumen,...

...Hou Junji kept Tian Hezi and...

...lied to him that the Mohists were all killed by Li Er.

He wanted to make use of Tian Hezi...

...to sow disorder between Li Shimin and his daughter...

...so that his plan could be achieved.

If that's the case, in the incident of Xuanwumen,...

...Hou Junji killed Li Anlan's mother, too.

Yes. Tian Ruolan found out that...

...Hou Junji tried to sabotage Li Er...

...without sending his troops.

Thus,...

...she brought the Mohists to help Li Er.

After Hou Junji found out, he sent his men to chase after them...

...and kill all of them,...

...including Tian Ruolan. -After so many years,...

...when Li Anlan came back to Chang'an,...

...Hou Junji was afraid that she would find out the truth.

He made used of Tian Hezi to ask Anlan to kill His Majesty.

He also sent his men to burn Court of Judicial Review...

...and try to kill Anlan.

I don't get it. He only has to kill Li Anlan.

Why did he even plan to kill His Majesty?

After Tian Ruolan passed away, Li Er couldn't let it go.

Thus, Hou Junji is being suspected, too.

He's always neglected by His Majesty.

He has been angry for a long time.

No matter Li Anlan could kill Li Er or not,...

...Li Er has to die anyway.

This is what...

...he would like to see.

What a good plan to kill two birds with one stone.

I've underestimated him.

Regarding the scar on your neck,...

...were you the servant of State Duke Shen...

...who fought with Anlan?

Yes, I was ordered by Hou Junji...

...to kill you...

...but I met Li Anlan who ruined my plan.

I could only steal Gao Shilian's token.

Hou Junji gave Gao Shilian's token to His Majesty?

This is Hou Junji's token.

He wanted to burn it but I hid in my mother's house.

We were tricked by Hou Junji again.

Did he plan the incident of Mountain Yu, too?

Yes, he planned it...

...and the Crown Prince was involved, too.

I knew it.

Hou Junji has planned to rise for a long time.

He approached the Crown Prince...

...and planned to rise when Li Er is back.

Everything was fine at first,...

...but...

...something occurred.

It's because of the death of Hou Xiaomei,...

...and he has started to suspect...

...that Chengqian and Xinyue were the ones who killed her.

I, Chen Biao,...

...have served Hou Junji for more than 20 years.

I'm willing to live as a dead man...

...and did all those dirty jobs for him...

...until I don't even dare to talk to my mother.

In the end,...

...I'm sabotaged by him...

...and I ended up in this state.

Do you think...

...it's my retribution?

I'm sorrowful,...

...hilarious...

...and pitiful.
