Episode 34

Danfengmen

Fang Mansion

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?

No.

Chengyu will arrive today.

Let's pick him up later.

OK.

I'll go with you.

Jiuling.

Chengyu,

you must be tired after the long journey.

I'm fine.

Your Lordship?

Perhaps

I should call you brother-in-law.

You've become so sensible

after such a short time.

I'm so happy.

Great.

Just call him His Lordship.

Agreed.

Jiuling told me in the letter.

Your engagement is as fake

as those before.

So I'll still call you Your Lordship.

Save some trouble.

Baotang calls you sister-in-law.

Why can't he call me brother-in-law?

I told my family

our engagement is just an expedient measure.

The title hasn't changed.

We didn't meet each other back then.

Are you thirsty, brother?

No.

I think

before you two

get married,

we don't need to be so close.

In addition,

like Jiuling,

you may call me

Chengyu.

OK, brother.

As you're just here,

have a good talk with Jiuling.

As your brother-in-law,

I'll go first.

See you, brother.

See you, brother.

Be careful, brother.

Let's go back.

Go.

Go.

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

Young Master.

-Liu'er. Chen Qi. -Young Master.

Young Master.

Shopkeeper Liu.

Where is His Lordship?

He is home.

Where is Jinxiu?

She was busy cleaning a room

for you in the early morning.

Now she is sending medicine.

Young Master, you know what?

Knowing you were coming here,

Lady Jinxiu prepared

four sleeping mats for you.

She is always nice to me.

I know that.

Besides,

she specially placed the precious tea set

Jiuling got when opening Jiuling Drugstore

in your room.

She doesn't allow us to touch them.

She specially prepared...

She is attentive.

I haven't finished yet.

Jinxiu also...

Shopkeeper Chen,

you're always talking about Lady Jinxiu.

Chengyu,

the condition here is inferior to that at home,

but Jinxiu has provided

the best for you.

It's quite great.

Your Ladyship,

we'll sort things out

for Young Master.

OK.

Go, Santao.

This way.

Chengyu,

take a seat.

Here.

I want to talk with you about

your meeting with His Majesty a few days later.

That His Majesty

summons you this time

seems to award you,

but is full of dangers.

Now that

he doesn't want us to keep the imperial decree,

we'd better take this chance

and return it to him

on our own initiative.

Looks like

we think the same.

Even if you hadn't mentioned that,

I would have discussed with you.

We're connected.

This is my first visit to the palace.

I feel a bit nervous.

Don't worry.

I'll be with you.

Your Lordship,

can you repeat

the points for attention

when meeting His Majesty?

Didn't those of the Ministry of Rites teach you?

I'm nervous.

I fear I may forget it.

Don't be nervous.

Jiuling will go with you.

She will teach you.

Jiuling is a woman.

There are different

manners for men and women.

What's more,

you often go to the palace

and know His Majesty well.

I should listen to you more.

Forget it, Young Master.

Don't follow

His Lordship,

otherwise,

you'll be put into the imperial prison.

You go too far.

How dare you make fun of me!

I'm sorry, Your Lordship.

I'm sorry.

Chengyu,

don't worry.

I'll be with you.

It's time for us

to leave.

My respect, Your Majesty.

Stand up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

What a handsome young man!

You're courageous and knowledgeable.

Deshengchang did a meritorious deed.

I'll

give you a rich reward.

It's my honor to share

Your Majesty's worries.

I dare not take credit.

Deshengchang will serve

Your Majesty faithfully.

I

keep strictly the rules for reward and punishment.

Tell me

what reward you want.

In this case,

I want a valued piece

of Your Majesty's calligraphy.

Your Majesty's handwriting

is energetic,

strong and vigorous.

If Your Majesty give me one,

it'll be the best gift

for Deshengchang.

This was given

by Your Majesty

when Deshengchang was

a royal merchant.

However,

Deshengchang isn't a royal merchant any more.

It's improper for us

to keep it.

Your Majesty,

please take the imperial decree back

and give us another piece of calligraphy.

Well, in this case,

I agree with you.

I'll

take back the previous imperial decree.

Tell me

what character you want me to write.

A Family Accumulating Merits.

OK?

Your Majesty,

can you write

the character "fu (happiness)"?

Your Majesty's great virtue carries with happiness,

good fortune and long life.

It'll be my great honor

to get it from you.

OK.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Jiuling,

thank you on behalf of grandma.

For what?

You gave me the imperial decree yesterday.

You saved the Fang family again.

Certainly I need to thank you on behalf of grandma.

No need.

It's because you've grown up

and can take charge of the Fang family alone.

The imperial decree

is an imperial order.

As His Majesty gave it to us,

we had the order.

Now that he wanted to take it back,

it was useless.

It isn't a blessing,

but

a disaster to keep

something useless.

You're right.

I hope it's worthwhile to exchange the imperial decree

for the character "fu (happiness)".

Certainly it's worthwhile.

It's the imperial city here.

What does this mad man want to do?

Jiuling,

Chengyu,

come here.

Yunqi,

what are you looking at?

This is my wife.

Perhaps

she won't be your wife soon.

Even so, she won't be yours.

Right, Chengyu?

Yes.

Do you remember what day it is today?

Today is the first anniversary

of Jiuling Drugstore.

Is that all?

It's also the first anniversary

of your marriage to Princess Jiuli.

Are you going to invite us for celebration?

Today

is her birthday

and the second anniversary

of my marriage to her.

Did you forget it,

Your Lordship?

I won't forget it.

I thought

as you have a wife,

you may forget her.

Go,

Chengyu.

Happy birthday.

Congratulations to Your Majesty

on realizing your hope.

Now

the imperial decree is in your hand.

Only the dead

can keep a secret.

I

will arrange it now.

Go.

Yes.

I was wrong

to be childish.

Your Lordship,

thank you for protecting

Jiuling in the palace today.

No need to thank me.

Why don't you

call me brother-in-law?

I can do this,

but you have to promise me a few things.

I'm all ears.

Jiuling helped the Fang family a lot.

If you are bad to her,

I'll fight against you

with my best.

This is the first thing.

OK.

How about the second one?

Jiuling has many enemies.

You need to always protect her

whatever happens.

This is the second thing.

That's for sure.

Though Jiuling is just a maternal granddaughter of the Fang family,

she has

no other family members,

so she'll feel sad sometimes.

You have to make her happy all her life.

I promise I will.

Brother-in-law.

Come on.

Let's drink tea.

What are you talking about?

Nothing.

You look secretive.

Chengyu,

since that

you've returned the imperial decree to His Majesty,

I think you should go back earlier.

I seldom come to the capital city.

I want to stay with you for a few more days.

It's not time to relax.

I fear...

Jiuling,

I've returned

the imperial decree.

What else do you worry about?

The secret

is related to His Majesty?

Yes.

Is it His Majesty

who has framed the Fang family

for so many years?

So you worry that

His Majesty who has no scruple and fear

after taking back the imperial decree

will hurt grandma?

Exactly.

So

is the defense enough at home?

Well,

before leaving home,

I added more guards

and asked Mr. Lei to help.

But if His Majesty takes action,

I'm afraid it's impossible to prevent it.

How about

I go back with you?

No.

You can't leave the capital city.

Moreover,

once you leave,

His Majesty will suspect you.

No need

to worry.

I'll arrange men.

There is one more thing

I want to discuss with you guys.

What is it?

Your Excellency,

excuse me.

Today is the first anniversary

of your marriage to Her Highness.

The kitchen has prepared some dishes.

Would you stay

and dine with Her Highness.?

She knows where I'm going.

It's almost ready.

Have a taste.

Put it down.

Put it here.

Put it down. Put it down.

Here are the dishes.

Here.

We're back.

You are finally back.

Your Ladyship.

Meixin Wine?

-Yes. -Leave it to me.

Jiuling said

you told her

only this wine

goes well with

your meat,

so she asked me to buy some

in Sanyuan Restaurant.

What are you doing?

It'll be ready soon.

Wait.

Are you being scalded?

Leave it to me.

I'm fine. Don't bother.

Leave it to me.

I'm fine.

You're so careless.

Leave it to me.

It's full.

Jinxiu,

I'll leave tomorrow.

Let's have a talk.

I'll fetch two dishes

in the kitchen.

Leave it to me.

Don't bother.

Your Lordship, everything is ready except for the meat.

OK.

Right.

Leave the kitchen thing to Liu'er and me.

Go

and check

if the gate is locked.

We're closed.

OK.

Go. Go. Go.

Your Ladyship,

I'll make two dishes over there.

I'll help.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

Can you be careful?

What are you doing?

Toothache?

Yes.

It's so sour

that I have a toothache.

No.

It's so sweet that I have a toothache.

Great.

I have

nothing else

but medicine.

Now that you have a toothache, don't eat meat.

Take medicine.

I think toothache is acceptable.

Are you feeling hot?

I'm fine.

Ouch,

my stomach hurts slightly.

Really?

I'm going to the toilet.

How about you,

Sanbing?

Don't you have a stomachache?

Baotang,

I can't hold it anymore.

Really?

I'll go first.

Yes.

Hey, are you both leaving?

Why are you both leaving?

Come on, how can you leave?

It really confuses me.

It seems that there is another purpose

for this scene today.

Yes.

Jiuling,

happy birthday.

Many people celebrated your birthday

with you in the past years.

But due to the current situation,

we can't make it grand this time.

We can only

celebrate it like this.

I've prepared a gift.

It's here.

Have a look.

Be serious.

Jiuling,

I know on your every birthday in the past,

you would eat such birthday cakes

in the imperial kitchen,

so I

asked others for the recipe

and made it myself.

Have a taste.

If it tastes bad,

don't dislike it.

Make do with it.

Taste it.

My father asked

the imperial kitchen to make this

for me on each of my birthdays.

I didn't eat it last year.

I thought this year...

Zhu Zan,

thank you.

In the past,

your father protected you.

From now on,

I'll protect you.

Have a try.

How does it taste?

Is it tasty?

It's so sweet.

Sweet?

I didn't add sweet.

It's sweet in my heart.

Jiuling,

when did you learn

these sweet talks?

Jinxiu.

Chengyu,

how do you feel

staying here?

I'm fine.

I haven't have time to ask you.

Is everything alright at home?

Yes.

Grandma is healthy.

Well, you've

grown up.

Yes.

I'm not who I used to be.

I'm in good health now.

I'm not the one who needed

to be taken care of carefully.

I can ride horse,

shoot arrows

and take a long journey to see you.

Chengyu,

I'm sorry.

You're talking silly words again.

Didn't we agree at home?

All of us

would let it go.

You're free and easy.

Can't you let it go?

I,

I've let it go long ago.

Thank you, Chengyu.

I didn't know why

you opened the drugstore on June 18.

Now I know it.

I didn't know why

Lu Yunqi got married

on June 18 either.

Now I know it as well.

Do you know he loves you?

Back then I agreed to marry him

for revenge.

In my heart,

he is no different from others.

I'm quite satisfied

with your answer.

What do you think of me in your heart?

You're inferiors to others.

This is the punishment for lying.

They are watching.

No.

You have another chance.

Answer me carefully.

You,

you...

You're so pretty.

They're kissing.

Your Ladyship, all dishes...

...are ready.

Well,

everyone, come for dinner.

All dishes are served.

Let's eat then.

Let's eat.

Served?

Yes.

Sit down.

Well, sit down.

Well,

Jiuling,

say something.

Say something.

Say something.

Yes. Say something.

Today is

the first anniversary

of Jiuling Drugstore.

In the past year,

we've experienced a lot.

It can be said that without you guys,

Jiuling Drugstore won't develop so well.

Come on.

Thank you all.

Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Cheers.

Jiuling,

happy birthday.

I met a girl.

She is

like you very much.

Every time when I see her,

I will think of you.

Next time

I'll come to see you with her,

OK?

Ling Jiu,

I'm so happy now

with you by my side.

Me too.

I didn't expect that

I could meet you again,

eat with you,

drink with you

and watch stars with you again.

What's wrong?

When did you like me?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I liked you a little

when I was a little boy.

Just a little?

Just a little in childhood.

When I grew up,

I liked you more.

I wanted to find a right time

to tell you,

but I didn't expect that I spent eight years in the North.

When I came back,

everything had changed.

Can you promise me one thing?

In the future,

no matter what happens

and no matter who appears,

don't separate from me.

Pinky swear

to be together always.

It's a deal.

It's sealed.

Don't go back on your word.

Finally, I'm not alone.

When you were not with me,

I had to pretend to be

the strongest in front of others,

because I needed to share the burden for them.

I had to be their support.

But I also wanted someone to help me.

Then you appeared.

Staying with you,

I can be

who I like most.

I can be who I was

and be the most relaxed.

You are my sweet burden.

Because even if I have strong armor,

you'll be my weakness.

You'll have no weakness,

because I'll be

your strongest armor.

It's so beautiful.

I'll give you two more kinds of herbs.

Show me your tongue.

Lead her over there to get the medicine.

OK.

Follow me.

Thanks, doctor.

You like this.

Taste it first.

Eat it, Jiurong.

Sister,

come see me more frequently.

Is it tasty?

Uncle,

please have a look.

Finally,

Chengyu can come back intact.

What matters most is Chengyu,

not the imperial decree.

Yes,

I just hope that Chengyu is alright.

The imperial decree was exchanged for character "fu (happiness)".

We also helped the government

to resettle those refugees from the North.

We

spent money just to avoid misfortune.

Yes.

His Majesty asks the Fang family

to help resettle refugees.

This is the honor of our Fang family.

Don't say that outside.

I know,

mother.

Master.

Master.

Master,

Young Master is...

What's wrong with him?

Tell me.

He was killed

in a fire accident

in the inn.

Madame.

Madame.

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.

That's impossible.

That's impossible.

Chengyu,

Childe Ning helped Jiuling.

Do you feel happy with that?

The fish sent to the capital city

is more delicious.

Chengyu.

God

is unfair.

God,

you are unfair

to the Fang family!

Chengyu.

Young Master Fang

was killed

in an accident

in the inn where he stayed.

Is there a mistake?

According to the Fangs,

he always

carried a jade pendant

handed down

from their ancestors.

They found

the jade pendant

on the corpse.

Although it's damaged,

it's barely recognizable.

Send someone to confirm it.

Yes.

When Young Master left,

he was still...

God is so blind.

They should

already get the news at home.

I fear if

Old Master can stand the blow.

It's grave.

I need to go back and see grandma.

I'll go too.

I'll go with you.

When will you go?

I'll prepare the carriage.

Tomorrow morning.

I'll arrange the carriage.

You are smart

and skilled.

You are my good sister

forever.

Well, you've

grown up.

Yes.

I'm not who I used to be.

I'm in good health now.

I'm not the one who needed

to be taken care of carefully.

Was Chengyu killed in the accident

or deliberately?

Do you

suspect of arson?

Chengyu's visit to the capital city was full of danger.

He returned the imperial decree

and spent money and efforts

doing things to dissolve

His Majesty's doubts about Deshengchang.

However,

just on his way back

to Zezhou,

he died in a fire accidently.

Chengyu.

Chengyu.

Chengyu.

Chengyu.

Chengyu.

We can't make full preparations for everything,

and the commitments won't remain unchanged forever.

Are you going to deceive yourself still?

You know

His Majesty dispatched him

not just to watch the Fang family

but also to uproot the Fang family.
