Swords of Legends II

Episode 27

Wuyi.

Would you calm down?

The decree was issued.

If you disobey it, the whole Yue's Mansion will be implicated.

They may even lose their heads.

Zhao Ning is so crazy this time.

It's too much even if she's angry with me.

I don't think Zhao Ning is mad at you.

There's not a girl who will make trouble for her marriage.

She probably is serious.

You mean she really likes me?

If you think about it,

Zhao Ning was aggressive with me when we were in Jiangling.

She must think I get too close to you.

Wenren, you don't even know Zhao Ning.

Sometimes you misunderstand.

Misunderstand?

I grew up with her.

I know her mind.

Others won't mess with it, but she absolutely will.

She just takes me as her own stuff.

When she has her princess syndrome,

she won't let others touch or take it.

This is not love.

But...

Okay, Wenren. Don't worry.

I'll handle it myself.

Don't be emotional.

Wait for me here.

This is your fault!

You let her come here since she's a kid.

And one thing led to another, it happened.

I didn't ask her to come here.

What can I do, disobey the decree?

Besides, she's just a little girl.

How did I know it'd come to this?

So what can we do?

Now what?

Dad.

Mom.

Wuyi.

I'm going to meet Zhao Ning at the palace.

Wuyi.

What are you going to tell Her Highness?

Tell her to break the engagement.

Wuyi.

It's been said the emperor's words are to be taken seriously.

Even if Zhao Ning agrees with you,

it's by no means His Majesty will withdraw the decree.

I won't marry her.

Wuyi.

I'm most afraid of getting involved with the royal affairs.

But now it comes to us and we can't avoid it.

I know you like Miss Wenren.

Think about this,

it's not a big deal for a man to have a lot of wives.

Dad.

Easy for you to say.

Why do you not have many wives?

I... I wish.

What?

I, I mean I don't have the guts.

I'm not as blessed as you.

Okay, all right.

Back to business.

Wuyi.

You should go to meet Princess Zhao Ning

and make your heart clear to her so as to let her know.

But you must remember not to offend her directly.

I don't care how crazy you are usually.

After all, the decree was issued.

Don't forget she's still a princess.

I know.

I'm afraid Zhao Ning is deadly serious this time.

How do you know?

Although she's a princess, she never put on airs.

She wants to marry Wuyi and check us out.

Now she just asked His Majesty to issue the decree.

I'm afraid it's...

What is it?

Rats jumping from a sinking ship.

Rats jumping from a sinking ship? Darling, she's still a princess.

Your words are so...

All right, not a rat but a phoenix, okay?

Phoenixes flying from a falling tree.

Phoenixes flying from a falling tree.

Phoenixes flying from a falling tree.

Zhao Ning.

Mr. Yue.

Eunuch De, could you please get Zhao Ning out?

Mr. Yue.

Congratulations!

I'll have to call you Consort Prince.

What consort prince? Where's Zhao Ning?

What happened?

You're all fired up.

You don't go get her, yeah?

Okay, I'll go inside and find her myself.

Mr. Yue.

- Mr. Yue. - Zhao Ning.

Mr. Yue.

Mr. Yue, you!

Mr. Yue.

Mr. Yue.

Zhao Ning, tell me what you're messing with.

Messing?

Give us a moment.

Yes.

Zhao Ning, I told you I was going to do something important and dangerous.

I can't take you along.

Why do you keep thinking I'm going to tour the scenic spots with Wenren?

Wuyi, you got me wrong.

I'm afraid something happens to you.

Besides, you don't listen to me.

- So... - Okay.

I know what you're thinking.

You know?

You felt uncomfortable when you saw me with Wenren on the Double Seventh Festival.

It'd please you if you take it out. Right?

I...

Yeah, you're right.

I'm just keeping it inside.

What are you gonna do?

It's about your marriage.

There's a limit to your mischief.

The one that I'm willing to marry must marry me.

- You want to defy the decree? - That's enough.

Go to explain it to His Majesty at once.

Explain?

Explain what?

Tell His Majesty you don't like me and you're just mad at me.

Wuyi.

You don't understand my mind?

Zhao Ning.

I grew up with you.

I know your temper best.

You're always like that.

If others have something that you don't have,

you'll do whatever it takes to get it.

These days I've been close to Wenren.

You're shunned.

So you tried to keep me forever with the decree.

I came here to tell you

there's something you can't have even if you get it.

Sorry.

Actually, my words are for your own good.

I don't want you to be emotional and waste your whole life.

Wuyi.

In fact, you're wrong.

What do you mean?

I do that for one reason.

Because I really like you.

But, Zhao Ning, didn't you always say you hate me?

Wuyi.

You really don't know girls' thoughts.

It means I like you when I say I hate you.

I don't remember when I first met you.

Looks like you've always been around me

ever since I coud remember.

And I liked staying with you all the time.

We learned how to read together.

We climbed and swam.

We checked nests and caught crickets.

We played Yanjia.

Oh, yeah.

I remember every time you made a new Yanjia,

you'd show me first.

Some I liked,

some I didn't.

But later I found,

as long as I didn't like, you'd take it back and remake.

Every time I saw you were in distress at the Yanjia workshop,

I felt it's funny and sad.

So later, I always told you I liked the Yanjia you made,

every time you told me.

Zhao Ning.

Oh, yeah.

I still remember we played house when we were kids.

I was the bride and you were the groom.

Wuyi, do you know?

At that moment, I told myself that

I must marry you when I grew up and become your real bride.

I wanted you to remove my red veil.

Zhao Ning.

That's the childhood game.

You.

Yeah.

Maybe.

Wuyi.

I can't imagine what my life is going to be like without you.

In the dead of night, I just thought about it a little bit,

but I still went trembling.

Tell me if that day ever comes,

would it be much worse than death?

But the one I like is...

Wenren.

I know.

Wuyi.

If I hadn't heard that you were going to do something dangerous,

I wouldn't have asked my dad to grant marriage to us.

I didn't do that to have you.

I just fear I'd lose you.

Understand?

Zhao Ning.

I misundertand you.

Turns out, you really...

really like me.

You're not crazy.

But you can't force me.

If I marry you,

I'll only waste your whole life.

Wuyi.

Go back.

I won't change my mind this time.

- Zhao Ning. - Guards.

Take him back.

Yes.

Please, Consort Prince.

Send more men to watch Yue's Mansion.

Keep a closer eye on the consort prince.

At the moment, it can't go wrong.

Remember?

Yes.

Yize. Here you are.

How is it going?

Strange.

Why are there so many royal guards at Yue's Mansion?

Is there something wrong with Ye?

You're ignorant.

Princess Zhao Ning is His Majesty's beloved daughter.

Even if she marries...

Yize.

Yize.

Listen.

It's no longer a secret.

It's spread throughout Chang'an City.

The consort prince is Duke Dingguo's son.

Duke Dingguo?

Is he Ye's father?

Exactly.

It seems Yue is in trouble.

Ye is going to marry the princess.

Isn't it a good thing?

I'm afraid Yue doesn't think so.

Why?

Does Ye not like Her Highness?

By the way, isn't Her Highness...

isn't she your sister?

Then you're Ye's...

Ruan.

Do you not know?

The one that Yue likes is...

Who?

You really don't know.

Is it?

Is it...

Yeah.

Oh my god.

I can't believe Ye likes Wenren.

When did he like her?

Why do I know nothing?

Yize, why didn't you tell me sooner?

I'm sorry.

Mom.

You're trying to sneak out without telling us again.

Do you take us as your parents?

Do you take here as your home?

Do you take Yue's Mansion as a hotel

where you can come and go as you like?

If it weren't for the issue of the decree,

I wouldn't have seen you.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

Anyway, I must leave.

Now I've still got a big thing to do.

So I can't marry Zhao Ning.

What a big thing?

You refuse to marry Zhao Ning because of Miss Wenren.

Not entirely because of Wenren.

Does it relate to the Yanjia Egg?

Wuyi.

As long as you don't do something evil,

I'll support you.

Mom.

Are you serious?

Sure.

Do you know where the Jumu that destroyed Juandu Kingdom came from?

You know it?

Miss Wenren, are you asleep?

Madam, come in.

Why do you change into your former clothes?

Madam.

I'm going to leave here early tomorrow morning.

Don't worry.

I won't take Wuyi along.

Miss Wenren, you're so sensible.

Madam, what are you doing?

We're so sorry.

Madam, don't say that.

Thanks to your care,

I've been going through a happy time.

Wuyi told me everything that

happened with you and Liuyue City.

I didn't realize that you even encountered such a big trouble.

I've been to many places since I was young.

And I have a lot of friends.

I probably can do you a favor about Commander Cheng.

Thank you, madam.

But Liuyue City is over the Northern Regions.

All the priests are powerful.

Ordinary swordsmen can't step in easily.

They may even die in vain.

Yeah.

Even a master like Xie Yi lost his life.

Which means it must be very risky.

Wuyi is my only son.

I don't want him to take the risk.

I also hope you'll stop soon.

I owe a great debt of gratitude to my master.

Even if there's a glimmer of hope,

I won't give it up.

Not to mention I must be responsible for Master Xie Yi's death.

The path is extremely dangerous.

I also want Wuyi to stay in Chang'an.

Actually, I'd like to leave here tonight.

Wuyi absolutely can't know it.

Miss Wenren,

I've been through a lot for my life.

I distinguish the kindness and hatred clearly.

But I never owed... owed a friend like that.

Mrs Yue.

Get over it since you take me as your friend.

Not to mention, the decree was issued.

You can't defy it.

It's my choice to leave.

It's also the best choice for everyone.

Thank you.

Here's some money.

You should keep it.

It's the least I could do.

If you refuse to take it,

I can never have my conscience free.

If Wuyi can marry you,

it's the blessing of Yue's Mansion.

Madam.

Take care.

(Sometimes life has regrets.)

(Only with tears and sweat can it be blessed.)

(I became braver. Even if we're lost in the crowd,)

(I'll find you again on the other side.)

(Fate is harsh. How tough it is.)

(I stumbled and crossed the mountain.)

(The happiness I have is all about you.)

(I have no regrets after I fell in love with you.)

(The night is so long. I hope life is short.)

(I feel so assured around you and we can grow old together.)

Wenren is tired after this whole thing happened.

Maybe tomorrow.

Young Master.

Madam asked the chef to make these buns for you.

Eat some before you go out.

No.

Buns?

Wenren likes buns most.

Let me get some for her.

Wenren.

Wenren.

Wenren.

Wuyi, where are you going?

Mom, Wenren is missing.

I'm going to find her.

Wait.

Mom.

What's up?

Wuyi.

Do you not understand why Miss Wenren left?

Mom.

You already knew Wenren wanted to leave?

Yeah.

Miss Wenren left without telling you because she's afraid you'd risk your life.

Mom, did you say something to her?

To be honest,

I came to Miss Wenren to persuade her to leave last night.

But she had decided to move on without me asking her.

Mom, you!

I won't let Wenren take the risk alone.

Yue Wuyi.

It's the decree. You can go against it.

But have you ever thought that because of your violation of it,

hundreds of people's lives throughout Yue's Mansion would...

Do you understand?

Miss Wenren said...

it's the best choice for everyone if she left.

Mom.

If I leave Wenren to take the risk herself,

I would be condemned in heart for my whole life.

If I let you go,

I'd feel bad for the people of Yue's Mansion my whole life.

Mom.

You can't stop me.

You brat!

You don't even listen to your mom.

You're tough now?

Do you think you can escape from me?

Mom, you attacked me by surprise.

Mom.

Do you think you can lock me up forever?

One day, I'll get out of here.

I'll lock you up as long as I can.

Even if you earn your wings today,

you can't go out of Yue's Mansion.

Dad.

Darling.

Do you, do you think it works?

No one can persuade me.

Honey, you know the whole story.

If you dare untie Wuyi,

Let's wait and see.

Mom.

Wuyi.

I'm begging you.

You know your mom is upset now.

When she's not mad at you in a couple of days,

she won't lock you up like that.

I know you're aggrieved.

Ye must be watched by the guards of Her Highness.

That's why he can't go out.

By rights, the wedding day is coming,

it's reasonable that the palace sent some guards to protect the consort prince.

But why hasn't Miss Wenren contacted us?

Maybe Wenren is also guarded by them.

It shouldn't.

Yue's Mansion and the palace would rather ask her to leave than watch her.

Is it?

What is it?

Has Miss Wenren already left Chang'an?

You mean Wenren has gone to find Sword Zhaoming herself.

Yue is the only one that knows about it.

Yize.

Ruan.

- Yue. - Ye.

What, what happened?

It's a long story.

Where's Wenren?

Is she not coming with you?

Sister Wenren is not with you?

Yue, Miss Wenren didn't come to us.

What happened between the two of you?

I see.

I'm afraid she already left Chang'an.

You mean Wenren has gone to find Sword Zhaoming alone.

She's always like that.

She is always afraid she will get others into trouble.

We've been through great hardships together.

How would I care about it?

Don't worry, Ye. We're getting you out of here.

Let's go after Wenren.

Wait.

Yue, we can get you out of here.

But it's a big sin if Yue's Mansion loses the consort prince.

Many people would be incriminated.

You must think it through before you make a decision.

Yize, I don't care any more.

Maybe I can stay if she came to you and hit the road with you.

But now she moves on alone.

It's like sending herself to her death.

Come on.

Ru Yi.

How long do you think young master will be locked?

I don't know.

I think madam meant if young master didn't marry Her Highness,

people throughout Yue's Mansion would be killed.

Seriously?

I think so.

Okay, forget it.

- Just take it. - Come on.

- Yue. - Let's go.

Dad is Duke Dingguo.

He'll find a way.

Let's go.

Eunuch De.

Thanks for delivering them in person.

I've known Her Highness since she's a baby.

Her wedding day is coming.

I must work hard on it.

Thank you.

How is Mr. Yue going?

He's fine.

Please wait here for a moment.

I'll get him for you.

Okay.

Thank you, madam.

Xiao Cui.

- Serve Eunuch De. - Yes.

Eunuch De, please.

Wuyi.

Wuyi.

Madam, young master is missing.

Sir, the three guards who stayed at Yue's Mansion were knocked out.

They've been locked in the woodshed.

I'm afraid the consort prince has escaped.

- I know. Out. - Yes.

Come on.

Ye, what's wrong with you?

Yue.

Go back before it's too late.

Yize.

Ruan.

I've been living in Yue's Mansion for 20 years.

At this point, I can't just go away like this.

Please take care of...

Wenren.

Yize.

I was just thinking, Duke Dingguo has ignored the national affairs for years.

He's nothing to His Majesty.

I know what His Majesty is like.

For him, Yue is probably not the best one for Her Highness.

You mean His Majesty is not in the mood for Ye.

I guess Zhao Ning made this engagement herself.

And I assume only Zhao Ning blows it up

can this stalemate be broke.

Eunuch De, please.

My son has been spoiled.

He's messing with those wood all the time

without thinking of the marriage.

By the grace of His Majesty,

the whole Yue's Mansion is flattered.

My son is also...

Duke Dingguo.

Let's just cut the bullshit.

You're a founding general.

I assume His Majesty will give you a little respect.

Just tell me how to explain it to His Majesty.

Eunuch De, you're enlightened.

In that case,

please tell His Majesty

the fault lies with me.

For the sin,

- I will... - Dad.

Mom.

- Dad, mom. - Wuyi.

Wuyi.

Why wait?

Get the tailor here to measure the consort prince up.

Okay.

Duke Dingguo.

I'm leaving.

Everything goes well today.

Duke Dingguo, don't worry.

Thank you, Eunuch De.

Please.

I just know you won't go away.

Dad.

Mom.

I'm sorry to have you worried.

Higher on the left. A little more.

Hurry up.

Ru Yi.

Do you think it's a little bit lower?

Young Master.

Is this dress a little bit wide?

Young Master, you haven't had food or drink these days.

You're too thin to fit the dress.

Xiao Hong.

Where's the white one?

Odd.

It's not here. Did we forget it?

Young Master, wait a moment.

We'll get it for you.

Madam.

How is it going?

Madam, young master has tried on four dresses.

And there's another one left in the west wing.

- We're going to get it. - Go ahead.

Yes.

Ji Xiang, I'm gonna help over there.

Okay.

Madam.

Madam.

Look. Our mansion hasn't had such a scene for a long time.

Ji Xiang.

Do you think I shouldn't force him like that?

Madam.
