Episode 33

I got it!

In the future,

I won't bother you again.

When I see you again,

maybe we will become enemies.

I want you to cooperate with me.

How to do?

I want you to break up

with those who make Chu Rang vigilant,

such as Zhu Zan,

Lord Cheng

and me.

And you?

Only in this way

can you be trusted completely

by Chu Rang.

What do you want me to do?

Everyone knows that you spoke for me

in the capital city.

If we want everyone to believe that

you've broken up with me completely,

we must pretend to

break up in public,

but you will

be jeered

and suffer.

Since I became an evil covetous minister,

I've always been jeered.

I'm used to it.

Let me toast you

with this cup of tea.

Childe Ning acted so well.

If you didn't tell me early,

I'd almost believe it.

But he was wronged

and swallowed his pride

for it.

It seems that

you had a good talking in the teahouse that night.

Yeah.

He even asked me about something else.

What did he ask about?

He asked me

about our marriage.

Marriage?

He asked me

whether our marriage

is true or not.

How did you tell him?

I told him

it's false.

It's false.

It's false.

Only you and Childe Ning

are perfectly matched,

an excellent combination

and are doomed to be together.

Your marriage to me is false,

so you and him…

Handsome Your Lordship

seems jealous.

No.

I told him that

it's false now,

but I don't know if it'll be false.

Good answer.

Your Highness,

do you feel better?

I'm better.

Have you ever resented such a life?

No.

It's fated.

What if

it's not fated?

It's also fated.

Dr. Jun is back.

How about

asking her to feel your pulse?

No need.

My illness

is not serious.

Are you worried that

I'll find fault with her?

Now that you know it, why did you ask me?

Jiuling,

I've bought you something delicious.

Where is Jiuling?

I'm not here to fight with you.

Where is Jiuling?

Zhu Zan.

Why are you here?

His Highness Prince Huai is ill.

What disease does he suffer from?

You'll know it

after going to see him.

Lu Yunqi,

anyone can be a tool used by you

to threaten someone else,

right?

Why

are you sure

I'll take advantage of His Highness Prince Huai to threaten you?

As my patient,

if His Highness Prince Huai has an accident,

the reputation of my Jiuling Drugstore will be ruined,

so I must prevent it.

You can choose

to treat His Highness or not.

After making a decision,

you can come to see me anytime.

Lu Yunqi!

Zhu Zan.

Don't worry.

I'm going to inquire about it.

OK.

Jiurong…

His Highness is fine.

Evil spirits?

How can you take advantage of

such a kid?

It's Huang Cheng's idea.

Huang Cheng?

He wants to take advantage of Jiurong

to sound out Lord Cheng, right?

You think

Lord Cheng is my father's follower?

But my father is dead.

What exactly do you want to do?

We'll know if it's true

after having a try.

Lu Yunqi!

If you just want to sound out Lord Cheng,

you won't do it personally.

So,

you want to take this opportunity

to force Jun Jiuling, right?

You also think

it will work?

She is a good doctor,

who,

who won't be indifferent

to her patients.

This matter

is not aimed at Jiuling,

but now

my cooperation

is for her.

At all costs,

Zhu Zan and Jun Jiuling

won't be absolutely allowed

to enter the Mansion of Prince Huai.

It's said that His Highness Prince Huai was attacked by evil spirits,

so he would be sent to the imperial mausoleum.

Only by being blessed by the ancestors

can he be safe.

His Majesty has known it

and will discuss it in the levee tomorrow.

As planned,

His Highness Prince Huai will leave the capital city tomorrow.

So fast.

I wanted to break in to check

whether it's true,

but there were many subordinates of Lu Yunqi.

If I broke in,

we'll get ourselves into a bigger trouble.

I see.

Their target

shouldn't be Jiurong,

but to see

who will stand out to object at this time.

Then whoever objects is the follower of the late emperor.

Zhu Zan,

you go back to ask Lord Cheng

not to object it

in the levee tomorrow.

What about Jiurong?

You try to

let me see Jiurong halfway.

I must check

whether it's true or not personally.

If Lord Cheng objects it,

it will give Chu Rang a handle against him.

It'll be very dangerous.

Zhu Zan,

I know it's hard

for you to make a decision now.

Now that

you're in a dilemma,

let me make this decision.

Chu Rang has made up his mind

to send Jiurong to the imperial mausoleum,

so anyone's objection will be useless.

At this moment, I can't

allow Lord Cheng to take any risk.

Jiuling,

His Highness Prince Huai was attacked by evil spirits.

You should be sadder than me,

but you comfort me instead.

Jiuling,

don't worry.

I swear by my life that

I'll definitely ensure Jiurong's safety.

Zan,

do you hear of His Highness Prince Huai?

Father,

I'm going to consult with you about it.

It's Huang Cheng's trick

and also His Majesty's test.

When they discuss it in the levee tomorrow,

neither agree

nor disagree

and just keep silent.

On the way to the imperial mausoleum,

I'll find an opportunity

for Jiuling

to treat Jiurong.

I see.

I'll keep my own mind.

The late emperor is dead,

but His Majesty

still minds it

and even takes advantage of a kid.

He really has a guilty conscience.

In the officialdom and imperial power,

there are no kids.

Even kids are the same.

Your Excellency,

His Grace Lord Cheng

wants to see His Highness Prince Huai,

and

he comes with many soldiers of the Zhu's army.

Everyone guesses

whether he'll agree or not,

but unexpectedly,

he pays a visit personally.

Your Excellency,

can we

let him in?

Now that he wants to go in,

just let him in.

Your Excellency,

are you sure we can let him in?

They've achieved their goal,

and this is what they want.

Yes.

Please take care.

Master,

I witnessed that Lord Cheng

entered the Mansion of Prince Huai.

OK,

I see.

Master,

well,

what shall we do next?

We see through Lord Cheng

via His Highness Prince Huai.

In my opinion,

he will

be powerless soon.

Your Majesty,

I think we should follow the old rules

and send His Highness Prince Huai to the imperial mausoleum.

Only by being blessed by the ancestors

can His Highness be safe.

What do you think about it?

Your Majesty, don't worry.

I just visited His Highness Prince Huai

and found he was in good spirits

and his right mind.

He was not badly ill.

Maybe

the illness of His Highness didn't recur back then.

Miss Jun has gone to treat him,

so we'll know

whether my words are true or not soon.

Miss Jun is just a doctor

but not a witch.

If His Highness Prince Huai was ill,

we'd call an imperial doctor for him.

Minister Tan,

even if His Highness Prince Huai is not ill

and is really

attacked by evil spirits,

it's better to send him

to the imperial city than

to escort him to the imperial mausoleum.

As an emperor, His Majesty is the son of the heaven and earth,

so any evil spirits

will avoid His Majesty.

Of course,

we can also deal with it by force.

Evil spirits are also afraid of murderous spirit.

The generals and soldiers under my command are battle-tested,

so they're the most murderous.

We can choose some of the most murderous ones

to the mansion of His Highness Prince Huai

to suppress the evil spirits.

Of course,

the final decision depends on

the judgment of His Majesty.

Let's

discuss it

after your daughter-in-law

treats Prince Huai.

Your Excellencies,

anything else?

Thank Your Majesty

for dispatching more people for us.

Now "Qingdu Chronicle"

has been completed.

Your

Majesty,

congratulations.

Your Majesty,

congratulations.

Stop that.

Only your attentiveness to duties

is the best reward

for me.

Is His Highness Prince Huai OK?

Thanks to the help of Lord Cheng,

their plan came to nothing.

You must be careful in the future.

Others may

take advantage of Jiurong to threaten you again.

He suffers.

It's not time

to tell them the truth.

When the time is ripe,

I'll tell them.

Well,

that day

you just gave me glance,

but I understood what it meant immediately.

Am I awesome?

Yes.

Reward you

with a piece of preserved fruit.

Let's go.

Lanterns.

Go.

Let's go to have a look.

Sir, do you want one?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

You can buy this one.

This is a mandarin duck lamp

with good implications.

It'll bless that you and your wife

have an intimate

and long marriage.

Good.

Good implication.

Just this one.

OK.

Let me fetch it for you.

Here you are.

Silver.

In our family,

she manages the money.

OK.

He is my brother.

Thanks for your patronage.

Don't joke casually.

You didn't tell me the truth, either.

You should have told me

why you took away my purple immortal herb early.

Nothing.

You just

specially put it

before my tomb.

I followed you all the way

and heard all your words.

Moreover,

I saw you cry very sadly.

There are so many people here.

Lower your voice.

Lower your voice. Lower your voice.

Behind my back,

you could speak sugared words,

but now you seem dumb.

So you want me

to repeat my previous words

in front of so many people,

right?

Yes.

Jiu…

Shut up.

Let's go.

Be careful.

Be careful not to fall.

Are you happy?

No.

Look at the fish in the lake.

Like us,

they're perfectly matched.

Put me down.

Put me down.

OK.

Come down.

Be careful.

Well, take a break.

You must be tired.

Come on. Sit down.

Well,

if you told me in Zezhou,

we'd have acknowledged each other early,

and I'd absolutely protect you

and prevent you from being in danger.

What I did in Zezhou

was extremely dangerous.

How could I implicate you?

Moreover,

I didn't expect you were so stubborn

that I couldn't even

get rid of you.

It turns out that

it was not our first meeting,

but reunion

after a long separation.

No matter what happened,

we still fell in love,

even if I didn't recognize you.

It sounds disgusting.

In the beginning,

I always wanted to push you away.

I didn't want you to approach me,

but I don't know

when you

became the man

who I want to see

and miss often,

and who cheers me up when meeting.

I feel empty

when we're separated.

When

did I become so important?

Jiuling,

do you know?

You didn't need to make full preparations

before acknowledging me.

We can't make full preparations

for anything.

What if,

what if you missed me?

Have you thought about that?

Do you know

what I think about you?

You're careless and casual.

When you meet dangers,

you'll pretend to be calm.

You can always be there with me.

You always save me from death.

For me,

you willingly went to the capital city from the North

to show me

northern manjusaka.

If you ask me

what the best days

are in my life,

I'll tell you that

it's those days with you.

So…

Mom.

Mom,

-hurry up. -Be careful, Jing.

Hurry up.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Mom, let's go to enjoy the lanterns.

OK.

Mom, let's go to enjoy the lanterns.

-Be careful. -Jing, take care of your sister.

-Take care. -OK.

Thank you.

Jing, be careful.

Be careful. Be careful.

Let's go. Let's go.

Take care.

So?

So,

I hope we can

company each other like them.

And be harmonious.

Respect each other.

I want to eat the preserved fruit.

It's sweet.

Which is sweet, the preserved fruit or me?

Me.

Your Majesty,

I was wrong.

Please pardon me.

Are you in your dotard?

How do you

explain the illness of Prince Huai?

Your Majesty,

His Highness Prince Huai…

Your Majesty,

Command Lu asks for a meeting.

Let him in.

Yes.

You get out.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

I learnt from Huang Cheng that

Deshengchang but not Lord Cheng

funded those refugees

to come here.

Is it true?

I

don't know how to explain it.

You don't know how to explain it

or don't want to explain?

Your Majesty,

Deshengchang

indeed escorted the refugees

to the capital city,

but

I don't know whether it

has anything to do

with Lord Cheng.

After all,

now the Fang family and Lord Cheng

can be said to one family.

Jun Jiuling?

Your Majesty,

Deshengchang also spent money

in relieving the disaster victims in the North

and forging weapons and armor.

So

17 money shops of Deshengchang

spent its money up.

What?

Why didn't you report such an event to me early?

Your Majesty,

you didn't allow us

to ask about

anything of Deshengchang,

so I

dared not stop them.

Fine.

In the future, no matter how big or small

the things of Deshengchang are,

you must report them to me early.

Yes.

Summon the boss of Deshengchang

to the capital city now.

I want to see him.

Tell him that I want to reward him.

Yes.

I can't

let Jun Jiuling off anymore.

His Majesty issued an imperial decree

rewarding Deshengchang for the righteous act of saving the people in the North

and summoning Young Master Fang to the capital city for meeting.

It seems that

His Majesty is going to second-guess.

Then,

then Young Master Fang can refuse to go to the capital city on the pretext of being ill.

Just let him avoid it first.

We have no choice

in it,

but we can choose

to be courageous or not.

I don't know if others dare to do it,

but Chengyu dares.

What do you think of it, Uncle Yuan?

My thought is not important,

but the key is

brother's thought about it.

What does he think about it?

Have a think.

The Fang family is wealthy,

and your family has the power.

And your families will even be united by marriage.

Everyone may worry about it.

So he'll destroy our marriage.

Then the simplest way

is to kill the bride or the bridegroom.

With your father's help,

you're safe,

and you practice kung fu,

so obviously you're not the best target.

So...

The target can only be Jun Jiuling.

I didn't say so.

After the levee,

brother had summoned Lu Yunqi.

They likely met for it.

Lu Yunqi

is obsessed with Miss Jun,

but he can't disobey the imperial decree.

So which is more important

is very obvious.

You

must be very careful.

I absolutely won't

allow him to hurt Jiuling.

What an intimate appellation.

She's my wife.

Can't I call her like this?

Yes, you can.

So good.

You like each other.

But, man,

listen to me.

I found

she cares about you much.

If you really like her,

you must be sincere.

I met Miss Jun.

I also think that

she shares similarities

with Princess Jiuling,

but don't replace the princess

you lost with her.

It's unfair

to her.

Uncle Yuan,

I know that.

Don't worry.

She isn't

a substitute.

She is unique.

You're worthy of being taught.

I didn't expect that

you're careless and casual,

but you're serious about your feelings.

You're really like me.

Come on, Uncle Yuan.

You have as many women in your mansion

as those in the imperial harem,

so don't mention that.

You know what?

There may be plenty of fish in the sea,

but there is only one fish for you.

There may be plenty of fish in the sea,

and I take each of them seriously.

I think it's the same.

Uncle Yuan,

let's get down to business.

Who proposed to summon young master of Deshengchang,

Lu Yunqi or Huang Cheng?

It should be Lu Yunqi.

After Huang Cheng left,

he went to the Imperial Study.

Within a moment,

my brother asked Yuan Bao to write an edict.

I see, Uncle Yuan.

Well,

I'll go back and discuss with my father first.

Leave 15 minutes later.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Mother,

do you really want Chengyu to go to the capital city?

What if...

No.

He is the only man of the Fang family.

I can't let him take this risk.

I'll go.

Mother,

I'll go with you.

But Chengyu is summoned.

Grandma,

mother,

I don't think

it'll work.

Chengyu is in poor health.

Everyone knows that.

Just say that he is ill again and too weak

to get out of bed.

Avoid the present trouble first.

Grandma.

Mother,

I've packed things.

I'll leave after the dinner.

Chengyu,

we just decided.

You'll stay here.

I'll go the capital city with your grandma.

No.

I was summoned.

I'm the only man in the family.

And

it's a long journey.

Grandma,

you're old.

I can't let you take any more risks.

Chengyu,

we must be cautious about

this summon to confer merit.

That's why

I must go.

You mustn't go.

Grandma,

you're the pillar of the Fang family,

The most important person to the Fang family

isn't me.

Without me,

the family can rely on you,

mother

and sisters.

What we inherit

isn't me,

but the blood of the Fang family

and our persistence.

Moreover,

they don't know that

women of the Fang family are great.

When seeing me,

they'll think that I'm the most important person in the Fang family.

In this case,

as I go to meet His Majesty in the capital city,

it'll preserve His Majesty's dignity

and show our family's sincerity.

Chengyu,

you've grown up.

It's time for you

to have a look

at the world.

Grandma,

mother,

don't worry.

I know

what to do

and what to say.

And

Jiuling is there.

Have you written the memorial to ask merits for Miss Jun?

His Majesty summoned the young master of the Fang family.

Clearly, he knew that

Deshengchang helped

refugees in the North secretly.

They did these meritorious deeds.

I should tell His Majesty

and get credit for Miss Jun.

All right.

With the military exploit,

even if His Majesty wants to punish the Fang family,

he'll consider people's will.

So

Miss Jun did all this?

She borrowed your title

for convenience.

Exactly.

In this case,

all credits in the North

should go to Miss Jun.

Did His Majesty praise the wrong person?

Minister Huang, how can you

take all credit from Lord Cheng?

If Lord Cheng hadn't guarded the North

and fought the enemy to death with strong soldiers,

Miss Jun would not be able to make it

no matter how powerful she was.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

You're wrong.

This is clearly Your Majesty's credit.

Your Majesty is so brilliant and powerful that

Lord Cheng can

get so much popularity

and credit in the North.

Without Your Majesty's trust,

Lord Cheng can't be what he is today.

So many memorials impeaching Lord Cheng

are piling in the Supervisory Ministry.

Yes.

That's the credit of Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is generous and kind,

so the people support you.

Miss Jun did do a meritorious deed.

It's right for Lord Cheng to ask merit for Miss Jun.

Yes.

OK. OK. OK.

Keep silent.

I see.

Miss Jun has done a lot.

Certainly

she is meritorious.

So does

Lord Cheng.

That's for sure.

As you

just mentioned,

it's inextricably linked.

They can't

make it alone.

Your Majesty,

it's my duty to do that.

But people in the world

don't know that

Miss Jun has made great contributions.

I think

Miss Jun

deserves to be rewarded.

Your Majesty,

a wise emperor will keep strictly

the rules for reward and punishment.

Miss Jun has made great contributions.

It shouldn't be covered up.

Your Majesty,

I agree.

The credit should go to

the one who deserves it.

We need to let the people know it,

or

they may be bewitched and believe blindly.

I'll reward those who deserve it,

or

they'll be disappointed.

Because she cured smallpox,

I

made her

County Princess Shanyang last time.

Now

I'll promote her

to Prefecture Princess.

Your Majesty is wise.

My respect, Prefecture Princess.

You knew that.

I was there when my father discussed it

with other ministers.

Why didn't you tell me in advance?

If I had told you,

would you agree?

Now Lord Cheng has lost his military power.

If he loses people's support,

it'll be worse.

You declined

to protect my father.

I know that.

But my father agreed

to protect you.

Twelfth Uncle said

His Majesty met Lu Yunqi yesterday.

We fear that he may hurt you.

The last thing he wants to see is that

I become a family member of Lord Cheng.

The best way to break our marriage

is to eliminate me.

That's why,

that's why you've been

following me these days.

You fear that someone may hurt me secretly,

right?

Chu Rang doesn't know who I am,

so it's fine for me.

However,

after this, it's clear that

Lord Cheng is loyal to the late emperor.

I'm afraid he'll be involved.

So what?

My father has given up military power.

What else does His Majesty want?

Sometimes people's support

is more fearful than military power.

Any ideas?

I'm a Prefecture Princess now.

Will it take long for me to be a princess?
