An Oriental Odyssey

Episode 12

26

What are you doing here?

27

Is the killer here?

28

You caught him that day, didn't you?

29

I've got no chance to tell you

30

that the person we caught

31

was just the bandit flirting with women.

32

Another woman was killed after that.

33

I've released announcement to warm women

34

not to go outside at night alone.

35

So, watch out when you go back later.

36

You can't be too careful!

37

Dare him to choose me as his target.

38

If he meets me, then he can't escape.

39

Stupid words.

40

Where is Mu Le?

41

I thought he should be with you.

42

He's no longer our servant.

43

He's engaged with Shui Yue in Nanjing Mansion.

44

Miss Shui Yue even asked me about this.

45

So I said yes.

46

What a pity.

47

He's loyal and willing to sacrifice,

48

which is rarely seen now.

49

I found something different in you last time.

50

Different? Where?

51

You seem more like a lady.

52

Different from that bold boy you seemed like.

53

which do you think is better?

54

Of course the one you're now.

55

That boy worried us.

56

You're all young ladies from notable families in Luoyang City.

57

You all excel in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

58

Let's play a new game today.

59

I have prepared some flowers and vines here.

60

Please use your imagination

to make flower arrangement.

61

The winner will get this top-class orchid.

62

Miss Ye,

63

I heard that

64

you are learning flower arrangement in Lingdang Garden House.

65

You must do well in it.

66

Could you please show us?

67

I don't think there's need to do so.

68

It's not typical of you to shrink back.

69

The flowers you gave me were beautiful.

70

Come on. Show your skills.

71

I don't want to show off my skills.

72

Come on, Yuan'an.

73

Don't spoil the game.

74

It's widely known that Miss Ye excels in martial arts.

75

Flower arrangement is not her strength.

76

Did you see it? How do you know I can't do well?

77

The game begins!

78

How are you doing?

79

Need any help?

80

Mind your own business.

81

Time's up!

82

The flowers by Infanta Minghui are so pretty.

83

She's clever and deft.

84

Miss Yuan'an, the flowers by you

85

are quite special.

86

Not special at all.

87

It's a hairly rooster.

88

You're like a hairly rooster!

89

It's...It's a peacock flaunting its tail.

90

You ladies, who should I give it to?

91

Infanta Minghui, of course.

92

Yeah! We agree.

93

Yes.

94

The winner of this game is

95

Infanta Minghui.

96

Good!

97

We have various desserts here.

98

It will be served for you later.

99

Thanks Mrs. Guo.

100

Why didn't you make the one you gave to me?

101

You would defeat them easily.

102

It's a peacock flaunting its tail.

103

They said a hairly rooster!

104

They have bad taste in flowers.

105

Wait for me. Come back soon.

106

Where?

107

- I go with you.

- Leave me alone.

108

Sir. Sir.

109

We are wondering if you're willing to drink with us?

110

She does get along well with the Empress.

111

But she will never be like a lady.

112

Everyone else will laugh at her.

113

Yes!

114

A person's taste matches her personality.

115

It was a flower competition.

116

But she made a hairly rooster.

117

What a joke.

118

If I were Zhao,

119

I would be ashamed getting close to her.

120

Right!

121

You get close to me now.

122

Ashamed?

123

Shall we talk?

124

Help!

125

Help!

126

A person will never change her personality.

127

You remain the same with different clothes.

128

Infanta.

129

Ask Zhao here and tell him...

130

- Zhao!

- Since you...

131

Let's make it another day.

132

Sir.

133

Miss Ye sent me to tell you

134

she has important thing.

135

Go there right away.

136

Let's go get some drinks.

137

I don't know how to dress up.

138

I don't know how to flatter, either.

139

But I will never bully anyone by right of the Empress.

140

I don't want to mind others' business.

141

But you three seem too nosy today.

142

Sorry. We're wrong.

143

My spider does best in

144

weaving a web on the mouth of a nosy person,

145

and blocking it.

146

Let us go, please.

147

I can do anything for you.

148

Ye Yuan'an!

149

Sir, glad you are here.

150

or we'll be killed by her.

151

Go. Let's go.

152

- Lanzhi.

- What are you doing to them?

153

They went too far.

154

No need to explain.

155

I saw it.

156

I though you were just bold,

157

but kind in heart.

158

You disappoint me.

159

Yes.

160

I'm cruel and merciless.

161

What will you do to me?

162

Safeguard them and arrest me?

163

You know I won't do that.

164

You can do that.

165

Ye Yuan'an.

166

Yuan'an.

167

It's a peacock.

168

Sir, it's time. We need to go on patrol.

169

Go.

170

Stay here, aunt.

171

Take care.

172

You accompany Infanta Minghui to the carriage.

173

Yes.

174

Infanta, please!

175

Infanta Minghui.

176

It's not safe outside.

177

Please be careful.

178

Okay. Thank you sir.

179

Sir, anything wrong?

180

Nothing.

181

Maybe I'm over suspicious.

182

Give the picture back to me.

183

It belongs to the Express.

184

I'll give it to its owner.

185

What's the smell? So strange.

186

Stop.

187

Stop.

188

Sir.

189

Infanta Minghui.

190

I saw the carriage was shaking.

191

We're afraid you may be in danger.

192

We rushed to check.

193

Thank you, sir.

194

Maybe it's because I drunk too much

195

and shake it when I slept inside.

196

Sorry for that.

197

It's good to see you're safe.

198

Let's go.

199

Infanta Minghui, you're still as clever as years ago.

200

Why didn't you expose me?

201

Don't you fear of death?

202

I fear it.

203

But I'm more curious.

204

About what?

205

Your eyes are like someone I know.

206

Really?

207

Tell me. Who do I look like?

208

No. Not look like.

209

You're Miss Shui Yue.

210

Clever as you.

211

You're right. I'm Shui Yue.

212

But it's a pity that

213

others are not clever as you.

214

But there's no wonder that without the eyes

215

people won't connect me with Miss Shui Yue.

216

How do you become this?

217

Wait.

218

If you were Miss Shuiyue,

219

who is the person in Nanjiang mansion?

220

The retribution.

221

All is retribution.

222

I shouldn't have wanted the glory that didn't belong to me.

223

Now everything was ruined.

224

I lost my own face

225

and can't keep hers.

226

Leave it.

227

Put on make-up for myself last time.

228

Let him remember my most beautiful appearance.

229

Then I don't have to worry about it any more.

230

Such a good skin!

231

But if without the pills,

232

No matter how beautiful the skin is,

233

I can't wear it.

234

Who!

235

Who are you on earth?

236

Don't you remember me?

237

I'm Xiaoke.

238

I was locked in the slave shack with you.

239

Xiaoke?

240

Huole De Tuotuo.

241

Are you really Xiaoke?

242

Yes.

243

When we first met,

244

you can only say: Huole De Tuotuo.

245

Nobody could understand it.

246

But you kept saying it .

247

Since then,

248

I paid special attention on you.

249

Huole De Tuotuo.

250

Huole De Tuotuo.

251

What is he saying?

252

Huole De Tuotuo.

253

What does he mean?

254

He awoke.

255

You're so noisy.

256

See?

257

I'll do the same if you don't behave well.

258

No meal today!

259

Go.

260

Don't be afraid.

261

I'll help you.

262

Don't be afraid.

263

Why do you save him?

264

He made troubles.

265

We have no meal today because of him.

266

How can you save him.

267

Yes!

268

You want to be a slave.

269

But he doesn't. I'll save him.

270

I have a corn bread. I'll give it to him.

271

Here you are.

272

I'm Xiaoke. How about you?

273

You murmured in your dream

274

Huole De Tuotuo?

275

Then I'll call you Tuotuo.

276

Tuotuo, eat it.

277

You can survive.

278

You may escape only if you survive.

279

Clear?

280

Come on.

281

My slave has such a strong body.

282

He has more energy than the ox.

283

Tuotuo,

284

wanna escape?

285

Wanna escape?

286

I'll unlock for you.

287

Don't be a slave. Let's escape together.

288

Okay. Okay.

289

Bring him out.

290

Come out.

291

Come out.

292

He ran away.

293

Catch him.

294

Come down.

295

Hurry up! Come here!

296

Catch him.

297

Catch him.

298

You dare run!

299

Tuotuo, leave me alone.

300

You only have this chance.

301

Run! Run away!

302

You dare try it?

303

I'll kill her!

304

Run!

305

Run away.

306

Go with me!

307

You dare run! Beat him!

308

Go!

309

Come here, you two.

310

Sell her to the brothel.

311

Go.

312

Wait for a while.

313

What's the matter please, Miss?

314

I'll take this girl.

315

Here you are.

316

You don't want to be a slave.

317

Okay. Don't worry about it.

318

I'll treat you well as my own sister.

319

Girl!

320

You got a blessing in disguise.

321

Let's go.

322

Tuotuo, wait for me.

323

I'll come back to you.

324

Do you remember?

325

Remember all I said?

326

Yes. I can remember.

327

Xiaoke, I remember all of them.

328

I promised I would go back to you.

329

Though you changed your name into Mu Le.

330

But in my heart,

331

you'll always be my Tuotuo.

332

I know clearly that you refused to be a slave

333

that was in the charge of others.

334

That's why I tried every means to help you escape.

335

I'm not a slave.

336

Because I...

337

Leave it.

338

It's too late saying so.

339

Xiaoke, you...

340

Why do you become this?

341

Because I was sick of being a slave.

342

Miss?

343

You bought me as a servant.

344

It's easy to feed me.

345

I have enough servants.

346

But I need a sister.

347

A cute sister that is as tall as me

348

and has the similar figure with me.

349

I can talk to her,

350

look after her and dress her.

351

But you're too thin.

352

I'll feed you to be more chubby.

353

And have fairer skin.

354

Then we can play an interesting game.

355

Miss, what game?

356

We can disguise into each other.

357

Do you think it's funny?

358

I'll follow you.

359

Miss.

360

No. Sister,

361

Where is this?

362

Come on.

363

Drink this flower tea.

364

Miss?

365

Sister.

366

Where are you? My scalp is itched.

367

Girl, I've told you

368

not to fiddle with these strange witchcraft.

369

You never listen to me.

370

Tell me what are these?

371

What are these?

372

Never Fiddle with them again!

373

Never be so willful.

374

Never do that!

375

You stupid girl.

376

Ask your uncle for forgiveness.

377

Don't be angry.

378

I...

379

Madam, I...

380

What? You call me Madam?

381

You must be possessed by the Devil.

382

I have to punish you!

383

Dear, she's just a child.

384

Don't be so angry.

385

Calm down.

386

Uncle, I won't do that again.

387

Please forgive me again.

388

Shui Yue, you see?

389

You've promised thousands times!

390

You never know your mistakes.

391

You always do like this.

392

We're letting down your grandpa

393

and your parents that passed away.

394

Uncle, please forgive me for the last time.

395

No need to say anything.

396

Your aunt and I have decided to marry you off.

397

for both of us,

398

this would be the best result.

399

Perfect!

400

We succeeded in my uncle and aunt.

401

I succeeded.

402

Miss, how did you make it?

403

The make-up is perfect.

404

I myself could not recognize it.

405

There's no such good make-up.

406

I exchanged our skins.

407

Exchanged the skin?

408

Miss, you must be telling jokes to me.

409

How can you exchange people's faces?

410

I can't tell you the specific approach.

411

What do you think? Interesting?

412

Yes. It's so interesting.

413

But others won't find it out?

414

Does it work on anyone?

415

After all, it's not your own skin.

416

As time goes on,

417

there might be some problems in fusion.

418

At that time, your skin may get pain and bloodless.

419

For the worse,

420

How?

421

For the worse, your face may be displaced.

422

It will be like a monster.

423

That's too scaring. What do we do with it?

424

Don't worry. I have this.

425

I have these pills made in Lingdang Garden House.

426

Everything will be okay.

427

Now you're the Miss Shui Yue.

428

What did the slave trader say?

429

He said I got blessing from disguise.

430

He'll never know

431

I went into the tiger nest from another.

432

The Miss Shui Yue was born merciless.

433

And she's been keen on witchcraft

434

and was possessed by it.

435

She has planned to kill her uncle and aunt who married her off.

436

And I was her stand-in she found.

437

But...

438

You didn't let her get away with it.

439

She had no mercy to me. I would do the same to her.

440

I pretend to be in her charge.

441

I went aboard with the Nanjing couple.

442

Nobody expected that the ship was on fire soon.

443

Luckily, I had prepared.

444

So I survived.

445

Master, on fire! Help!

446

Help! Is there anyone?

447

Help!

448

Uncle and aunt,

449

please don't blame me.

450

You always prevent me from doing what I like.

451

You should have been like grandpa,

452

to be a fool lying in bed.

453

Go away. Take this fake Shui Yue away.

454

After you leave,

455

I'll have my own space.

456

I can do what I want.

457

You...

458

Why are you here?

459

You should die in the ship.

460

Then you will be satisfied.

461

I won't do that.

462

Help!

463

Hey!

464

Hey!

465

Hey!

466

I'll not let you become me.

467

I'll destroy the skin.

468

At that time,

469

I must be mad so I did that.

470

Yes.

471

I destroyed my own skin.

472

I did become Miss Shui Yue in Nanjing Mansion.

473

But what did I get?

474

God knows how regretful I was.

475

I couldn't even cry.

476

Because the tears are salty.

477

If it flows to my skin,

478

it seems like putting salt in wound.

479

I do have her skin,

480

but if I don't take the magic pills

481

and wear delicate make-up,

482

I may be found by others.

483

Look.

484

I got retribution.

485

Then in Luoyang City,

486

were those girls whose skins were removed killed by you?

487

I was exhausted by only her skin.

488

Do you think I could afford to rob others' skin?

489

But I know who it is.

490

You mean

491

the real Shui Yue?

492

Yes. It was her.

493

She got away with it.

494

She came back to me.

495

Who are you?

496

You took my skin,

497

and possessed my status.

498

Forget me in such a short time?

499

It's you. You survived?

500

Yes. It's me.

501

I gave my face to you.

502

You burnt your skin which is in my body.

503

How can you be so merciless?

504

You're the one who is merciless.

505

You want do harm to me first.

506

I'm forced to burn my own skin.

507

Give my skin back to me!

508

Stay away!

509

If you come closer, I'll damage your skin.

510

Then, you'll never change back.

511

Do you trust me?

512

I do.

513

If it weren't you,

514

I had been killed by the human trader.

515

I believe you are warmhearted.

516

You were just blinded by an obsession.

517

Tell me.

518

How can I help you?

519

Would you help me?

520

Tell you. What should I do?

521

Go to the Lingdang Garden House

522

and steal a kind of secret pill.

523

You want a stand-in,

524

while was robbed by others.

525

Come for wool and come home shorn.

526

You've killed so many girls,

527

while can't find one suit for you.

528

Pathetic you.

529

I came for help,

530

not your sarcasm.

531

Aren't you afraid being killed like them?

532

By you?

533

Don't you forget

534

you do nothing better than me from childhood?

535

You want help from me.

536

I don't wanna and I don't have time for you.

537

If you threaten me,

538

you can't make it.

539

What do you want to do?

540

Your witchcraft seems so magical and rare.

541

You must know where the thing I want is.

542

What is it?

543

A Divine Bead.

544

Why do you have to get this bead?

545

Don't care about the reason.

546

You get your identity and skin.

547

I get my bead.

548

We get what we need and it's a win-win situation.

549

That's how business works.

550

Isn't it?

551

Okay. I promise you.

552

Since we are in partnership,

553

I'll show my sincerity.

554

I found this in the room of your stand-in.

555

It's useful to you?

556

Yes. Useful to me.

557

It promotes the blood circulation.

558

It's medicine to connect the skin and blood.

559

The skin will be firm with it.

560

She doesn't have this now.

561

She must be anxious.

562

How can I get this?

563

Lingdang Garden House.

564

Lingdang Garden House.

565

Miss Ye, I heard

566

that you're learning flower arrangement in Lingdang Garden House.

567

You must do well in it.

568

Cold you please show us?

569

What a great chance!

570

We can do like this.

571

Does it work?

572

They have no other ways.

573

Let's wait around for the hare.

574

And we catch the turtle in the urn.

575

Okay, Let's do it.

576

Why don't you believe me?

577

I'm that unlovable?

578

Yuan'an?

579

It's too late. Why are you here?

580

Madam,

581

I should have listened to you.

582

I shouldn't have cheated my friend with your flowers.

583

If so, I wouldn't make a fool of myself.

584

Remember, Yuan'an,

585

there are countless beautiful things in the world.

586

Flower arrangement is only one of them.

587

Playing with flowers should be something pleasant.

588

We're not for knowledge and upset ourselves.

589

You're right.

590

To be happy is the most important.

591

These flowers are not what I'm into.

592

I can't make it if I force myself.

593

So I decide to give it up.

594

But you'll always be my teacher.

595

Thank you.

596

Yuan'an, don't mention that.

597

Wish you a bright future.

598

You may go to bed early.

599

Is there anyone?

600

Sir!

601

Tonight, as usual

602

after I finished all the stuff,

603

I was about to sleep.

604

I didn't expected to hear my daughter cry out.

605

She shouted

606

Is there anyone?

607

I thought there might be a thief.

608

When I arrived,

609

there was blood on the ground.

610

Sir, is my daughter in danger?

611

Sir, in this room,

612

nothing is different except the blood.

613

And her body can't be found.

614

I think this case may be different from what it was.

615

Sir, did you check

616

is there anything lost in the room?

617

We've checked.

618

Nothing else is lost except the pills' bottles.

619

Pills?

620

I have to tell the truth.

621

They're some pills that the court controls.

622

Her great grandpa

623

use to be an ordinary gardener for Emperor Taizong.

624

But he is keen on making flower herb.

625

Then, he created the pills

which could help people stay young and beautiful.

626

But later,

627

an favored concubine overdosed it and poisoned herself.

628

Emperor Taizong was angry

629

and drove him out of the court.

630

Later before he died, he found

631

the pills could help to connect the skin and blood.

632

Then he left his last words

633

that all the descendants could only use it as last resort.

634

They are really that magical?

635

Yes.

636

I use to think it's only rumor.

637

But years ago, I saw in person

638

that my girl used the pills she created

639

to save a girl bit by a fierce dog.

640

That girl's face was badly mutilated.

641

But after she took the pills,

642

she recovered miraculously.

643

Miss Shui Yue, you may have meal now.

644

Okay.

645

If saying so,

646

the one kidnapping your daughter

647

must know how the pills works.

648

If so,

649

Miss Lingdang is alive.

650

That would be great.

651

Sir, I accompanied the Miss from her childhood.

652

She is quite kindhearted and had no enemy.

653

Sir.

654

You must save her out, please.

655

Sir, don't worry.

656

Don't worry. we'll try our best.

657

Are there any strangers coming here tonight?

658

I didn't see any strangers

659

besides some students.

660

Sir,

661

I saw Miss Ye sat there

662

doing nothing alone in the evening.

663

You mean Ye Yuan'an?

664

Correct!

665

She had several lessons with our lady.

666

Sir, I found this in the backyard.

667

In every similar case before,

668

we saw feathers as well.

669

Sir,

670

do you think it was done by the same person?

671

I can't be sure about

672

whether it was by the same person.

673

What we should do now is to find Miss Lingdang.

674

Yes.
