Episode 14

26

Yuan'an,

27

What can I do for you?

28

Sir.

29

My condolences, Shui Yue.

30

Thanks.

31

Thanks for helping me.

32

That's what I should do. It's my pleasure.

33

Take Sir to rest in bedroom.

34

Yes.

35

Sir, this way please.

36

Watch your way, you little boy!

37

You are offending Sir, can you afford that?

38

Sorry, sorry.

39

My master is urging me to fetch something for him.

40

I'm so sorry.

41

Watch your step.

42

Tell Shui Yue,

43

I have something to do in my office, I'll leave now.

44

Miss, Mr. Zhao left just now.

45

The tea cools down as soon as the person is gone.

46

My grandfather passed away, I can't inherit the title of nobility.

47

I only have a little money left, few people came to pay their respect.

48

Who will pay attention to us?

49

Watch your step, my guest.

50

A pot of tea and a bowl of salty pea.

51

Okay.

52

Where did you hide them?

53

Why are you in such a hurry?

54

No matter how many times you catch us,

55

we can run away.

56

Why are you coming back since you have been away?

57

Find for the murderer.

58

Don't you suspect Shui Yue after so many cases?

59

Yes,

60

I do.

61

But I believe in evidence.

62

No evidence, no judge.

63

She will give herself away.

64

But you have to help me.

65

Yuan'an,

66

go home with me, and I'll deal with the case.

67

What...

68

Yuan'an,

69

tell me, where did you hide them?

70

I am not making fun with you.

71

Tell me.

72

Kill her, kill her, kill her.

73

Kill this monster.

74

Execute.

75

How greedy you are!

76

You dare to sell our oblation!

77

Don't you afraid me scaling your skin?

78

Come on, 50 plates for him!

79

Throw him out!

80

What?

81

You don't listen to me?

82

You want to rise in rebellion?

83

Miss, we arranged Prince Nanjing's funeral carefully.

84

And we make sure you have gourmet and delicacies every day.

85

But we do have no salaries for quite a while.

86

Xiao Xiang conducted misdeeds for stealing things.

87

But,

88

we have to live, don't we?

89

Get out, all of you!

90

We don't need your order.

91

We are done here.

92

We can go.

93

Let's go, we are done.

94

Go, Xiao Xiang, go.

95

We have already been fed up with you.

96

Who do you think you are?

97

Princess Minghui.

98

Come on.

99

Let's have a talk.

100

Well,

101

Why is the mourning hall removed?

102

It hasn't been 7 days since he passed away.

103

I haven't paid my respect to him.

104

Performing a religious rite for him needs money.

105

My grandfather left me nothing after passed away.

106

The whole mansion is a mere skeleton.

107

It's hard to manage such a big house.

108

You can go.

109

Yes.

110

Anyway, although it's a mere skeleton,

111

it's quite good for you to change from a ghost to a Miss.

112

Besides,

113

Xiao Ke had been executed just now.

114

And Ye Yuan'an and her servant have been shut away.

115

No one can threaten you anymore now.

116

It has been done, hasn't it?

117

I know what you mean, Princess Minghui.

118

You are here for money, aren't you?

119

And you?

120

You want to repudiate a debt?

121

Give me the bead.

122

Follow me.

123

Do you want this?

124

Give me the Divine Bead.

125

No.

126

I am quite stubborn actually.

127

I must do what I promised to do.

128

And others must do the same.

129

Someone lied to me before,

130

and then he suffered a lot when he died.

131

Do you want to be like him, Shui Yue?

132

I am not brought up by threat, Princess Minghui.

133

And I know the origin of the beads.

134

My grandfather once told me that

135

you can only get it by being bestowed, but not by grabbing.

136

My life doesn't matter a lot.

137

But if I die,

138

the bead would have no master.

139

Wouldn't you be disappointed?

140

What do you want?

141

I need you to do something for me.

142

What?

143

I am done with no power and being trampled.

144

I need you to find a powerful and influential woman,

145

and let me be her.

146

Are you insane?

147

You just find yourself.

148

You want to be someone else now?

149

Did you learn from your fault?

150

This is my business, would you help me?

151

Do you know why there was no one here to pay respect to Prince?

152

Why?

153

There is a wedding with Kangju now in Palace.

154

Empress decides to ask Princess Qi'an to marry him.

155

You mean...

156

I can recommend you to escort Princess to Empress.

157

If you want a higher status and bigger power,

158

Princess's identity will satisfy you.

159

I promise you the bead as soon as this is done.

160

Listen, don't play tricks on me again.

161

Believe me, this is the last time.

162

Your Majesty.

163

Mei Niang, you come at the right time.

164

State Preceptor has something to report.

165

What are you going to report, State Preceptor?

166

I heard that Emperor and Empress

167

are going to send Princess to marry to Kangju, right?

168

Kangju has sent envoy to study here for many times.

169

Now they have a new Emperor

170

who can't wait to establish diplomatic relations to us.

171

And they sent envoy here to seek a marriage alliance.

172

I have decided to send Princess Qi'an to marry him

173

in order to stabilize the borderline.

174

This is a good thing.

175

Is there anything wrong with it, State Preceptor?

176

Empress, Kangju is too small.

177

There is no need to do that.

178

I think since their emperor has changed,

179

they are in an unstable state.

180

Why don't we wipe them out this time?

181

Bring peace to a country is far more better than killing lives.

182

I've made my decision on this.

183

You don't have to think about it, State Preceptor.

184

State Preceptor,

185

you can go now.

186

Mei Niang, no matter what,

187

Tian Qiao is the State Preceptor.

188

You should be polite to him.

189

Your attitude was a little too tough to him.

190

Your Majesty,

191

I think being a State Preceptor should have compassion.

192

But, he is much more interested in battles than Generals.

193

Forgive me, I can't agree with him.

194

Besides, we have made up our minds on the marriage with Kangju.

195

So State Preceptor tried to interfere with our decision.

196

You are right, Mei Niang.

197

You can handle this.

198

I am going to...

199

Emperor is suffering headache again.

200

Give me State Preceptor's pills quickly.

201

Your Majesty, how are you now?

202

It's too hurt.

203

Your Majesty.

204

State Preceptor.

205

You,

206

you are here at the right time.

207

Where is the fifth Bead?

208

Don't be worry about it, it will be gotten right back.

209

Don't let me down.

210

What are you worrying about?

211

What can I do for you?

212

Empress is going to marry Princess Qi'an to Kangju.

213

As our thriving Tang Dynasty, we do not need to do that apparently.

214

But she doesn't listen to me and decides that on her own.

215

She is such a bitch.

216

I have an idea.

217

Not only can it ruin the wedding,

218

let Tang and Kangju suspect each other,

219

but also can get the fifth bead without any witness.

220

As long as I get the chance, I can kill two birds with one stone.

221

But I need you to send some master-hands to help me.

222

Okay, deal.

223

Huo Yang.

224

I am here, Master.

225

Help Princess to achieve my goal.

226

Yes, my Master.

227

It's quite far.

228

But I heard that the new Emperor of Kangju is gentle and handsome.

229

The happiest thing for a woman is to find a good husband.

230

This is your luck and fortune.

231

Thanks, Empress.

232

Miss Shui Yue is recommended by Minghui.

233

She is reliable.

234

I can only rest assured by asking her to look after you.

235

Thanks, my Empress.

236

I can take care of myself.

237

Shui Yue,

238

Don't blame Emperor and me about your grandfather.

239

Prince Nanjing has lasted for three generations.

240

His eldest son died young.

241

You are a girl and you can't inherit the title of nobility.

242

Minghui recommended you that you are educated and reasonable.

243

So I ask you to escort Princess all the way.

244

I'll reward you if you get things done.

245

I'll be committed and devoted to my work.

246

I'll take care of Princess and won't let you down.

247

Remember, never flaunt your superiority.

248

Talk over with Shui Yue if necessary.

249

Don't worry, my Empress.

250

Time to go.

251

Today,

252

we have no choice but success.

253

Wait for chance and Princess's order.

254

No one can be alive except for Princess and the court maid.

255

Am I clear?

256

Yes.

257

What can I do for you, Princess?

258

It's too boring in the carriage, Shui Yue.

259

Can you come and chat with me?

260

Yes.

261

It's such a long way.

262

When can we get to Kangju?

263

The view is great along the road,

264

why not regard it as a journey?

265

You are right.

266

I felt like we were old friends at the first meet with you.

267

Today I can tell you a secret.

268

Go ahead please. I'd like to know.

269

I am naughty and rebellious.

270

So I always go to the city to play,

271

and I learned some tricks from folk artisans.

272

Do you want to have a look?

273

Yes, I do.

274

How is it? Isn't it interesting?

275

Yes, it is.

276

But...

277

What?

278

I know that the handkerchief is a camouflage.

279

The key is in your sleeve.

280

The pigeon is already there, right?

281

You see through it.

282

Princess, what you learned are just some small tricks.

283

I can do magic too.

284

Okay, good.

285

Show me, Shui Yue.

286

Princess, I got some incense with me.

287

Why not light it to liven things up?

288

Fine.

289

What a good incense!

290

Shui Yue,

291

show me your great magic.

292

Okay then, let's play a game called changing skin.

293

That is to change our skin with each other.

294

How?

295

How can you change your skin with others?

296

That's not difficult.

297

Just like this.

298

Do you still suspect it now?

299

Good.

300

Now it's your turn.

301

Does it hurt?

302

No.

303

It's the function of incense.

304

No.

305

I see.

306

This is not magic.

307

You are going to kill me.

308

You are going to take my skin.

309

You are going to be me.

310

It's too late.

311

You cannot escape now.

312

Are you okay?

313

Why are you here, Zhao Lanzhi?

314

How can I see your performance without coming?

315

Are you okay?

316

Yes, it's the overpowering drug.

317

I am a little weak now.

318

Who are you? You are not Princess.

319

You can change skin. I have a mask.

320

Do you still want to deny?

321

You are still alive?

322

Then Xiao Ke...

323

She is waiting for you to give the skin back to her.

324

Are you telling the truth?

325

I don't dare to deceive.

326

What are you going to do?

327

I want the murderer to reveal her true feathers.

328

But I need your help.

329

Okay, I can help you.

330

But you will die if you fail this time.

331

Thanks, my Empress.

332

You really believe her?

333

You should believe her.

334

She always reminds me of myself when I was young when I see her.

335

Take her away.

336

Yes.

337

Go, be quick.

338

Are you okay?

339

I have to get Shui Yue back to get the fifth bead.

340

Kill them!

341

Go!

342

No, there is an ambush.

343

Mu Le, take Yuan'an go first.

344

Zhao Lanzhi.

345

Yuan'an.

346

Retreat.

347

You killed them all?

348

Huo Le de Tuotuo...

349

- Mu Le.

- Huo Le de Tuotuo...

350

Wake up.

351

Mu Le, Mu Le.

352

Princess Minghui.

353

I told you that you should be satisfied being yourself again.

354

What about now?

355

Your greed finally kills you.

356

Damn.

357

I am trapped by Zhao Lanzhi and Ye Yuan'an.

358

I didn't expect that either.

359

I really want to help you.

360

Princess Minghui.

361

Help me, please. Take me away from here.

362

It seems that you forgot something.

363

This bead is with me all the time.

364

Now I give it to you.

365

Please help me the last time.

366

You are willing to give this to me this time?

367

Yes, I am.

368

We were brought up together.

369

Help me the last time, please.

370

What are you doing?

371

Actually I know you are taking advantage of me all the time.

372

It'll never be easy to get this.

373

Now I'll take your skin

374

and be Princess Minghui from Prince Yu mansion.

375

Are you okay, Princess Minghui?

376

There really is such kind of magic.

377

I can't believe it either without seeing it with my own eye.

378

Stand up, Lanzhi.

379

You solved this case successfully,

380

enforced the law strictly and stayed calm all the time.

381

I am really pleased.

382

I'll promote you as Sizhi of Court of Judicature and Revision.

383

I'll tell all the courtiers about this tomorrow morning.

384

Thanks, my Empress.

385

I know, Yuan'an.

386

I know you are blaming Lanzhi.

387

But this is really weird.

388

He only believes in evidence.

389

And now the truth comes out,

390

just forgive him.

391

Since Empress asks me to forgive you,

392

then I forgive you.

393

Does your wound still hurts?

394

It's none of your business.

395

You are still young.

396

Did you find the details of the assassin?

397

My Empress,

398

we killed all the assassins, no one stayed alive.

399

My Empress,

400

I don't know whether I should say something.

401

Go ahead.

402

I think Shui Yue didn't frame me up by herself.

She has accomplices.

403

We didn't entice her to come out.

404

But they found the way here on their own,

405

and they came to see you.

406

Besides, the marriage journey of Princess Qi'an is secretive.

407

Few people know that.

408

How did they find that and ambush in advance?

409

According to all the things happened,

410

it's not difficult to find her.

411

But assassins are all dead now.

412

It can't be investigated further.

413

Luckily, the truth has come out.

414

People in Luoyang won't be afraid anymore.

415

Now the most difficult thing is that this time

416

we did seek a marriage alliance with Kangju,

not just to entice Shui Yue.

417

But Princess doesn't want to marry afar.

418

Who else can do that?

419

My Empress,

420

I have an idea about this.

421

It's a long way. Be careful.

422

But it's a good thing.

423

You are now the princess of Tang

and you can be the Consort of Kangju.

424

And you will never be a servant.

425

Thanks, Yuan'an.

426

And you, Tuotuo.

427

I can't be alive without you.

428

I'll give you two some time. You can go ahead.

429

I don't know when I can see you again.

430

Did you take your pills?

431

Don't worry, Yuan'an said that

432

Lingdang Garden House is making the pills.

433

She will ask others to bring that to you.

434

Tuotuo, Tuotuo.

435

I have to tell you a secret.

436

What?

437

Miss Yuan'an,

438

Yuan'an loves you.

439

Don't talk nonsense.

440

She says that she is my master.

441

She regards me as a servant.

442

I am a girl.

443

I know her.

444

How could she risk her life to save you if she didn't like you?

445

Or how could she risk her life to save me for you?

446

She did that because of loving you.

447

I found this that night along the river.

448

But maybe even she doesn't know it herself.

449

Anyway,

450

don't let her down.

451

I'll bear what she did for me in my mind.

452

I'll never let her down.

453

And the Sir Zhao.

454

I found that Sir also likes your Miss.

455

He is your biggest rival.

456

You have to beat him down,

457

or he will get Yuan'an.

458

I'm leaving.

459

Take care.

460

Let's go.

461

Yes.

462

Are you feeling better?

463

Much better, how about you?

464

The medicine you gave me is efficacious.

465

Thanks.

466

I don't need your gratitude.

467

What do you want me to do?

468

Can you leave me alone?

469

This is what I am.

470

I like fighting and am always ready to help.

471

But I can't be a lady.

472

Can't you just let me be like this?

473

Yuan'an, Shui Yue let me know that

474

one should be oneself.

475

You should never be like someone else.

476

If you didn't fight and help others,

477

then you would not be Ye Yuan'an.

478

This kind of girl is not my type either.

479

So I think you should just be who you are.

480

By the way, Yuan'an.

481

Your servant is amazing in martial art.

482

Was he taught by your master?

483

His effort is far from amazing.

484

What? Are you suffering occupational disease?

485

Do you suspect everyone?

486

No. I cherish talents.

487

Mu Le is not an ordinary person.

488

And he saved us many times.

489

I want to recommend him to army.

490

What do you think?

491

I don't think so.

492

He has a strong character.

493

And he only listens to me.

494

He would be a trouble in army.

495

Okay, it's up to you.

496

You are his master after all.

497

Besides, I didn't get the words you said to Empress.

498

Did you suspect anyone?

499

Xiao Ke told me before that

500

someone always came in and out Prince Nanjing Mansion.

501

And then she lost her elixir.

502

Then the same person recommended Shui Yue

503

to accompany Princess Qi'an to marry the Prince of Kangju .

504

When we got trapped in the secret chamber,

505

I was dazzled at that time.

506

I'm not very sure. But I feel...

507

- It looks like...

- Like whom?

508

Princess Minghui.

509

I didn't know if it was her.

510

I am not sure.

511

Maybe I really hate her too much,

512

so I paid attention to her.

513

But Empress vindicated obviously that we cannot get into it.

514

I cannot insist either.

515

You also see that Empress didn't want to get into it.

516

Princess Minghui is the disciple of State Preceptor.

517

Empress has a complicated relation with State Preceptor.

518

They restrict each other.

519

There must be some reason for Empress to do this.

520

Where are you going?

521

Today is the birthday of my friend.

522

I am going to see him.

523

Let's go home.

524

Are you showing your ill temper to me?

525

Are you going or not?

526

Today is your birthday.

527

We haven't drunk together for a long time.

528

How are you?

529

Are you well fed?

530

Are you dressing warm?

531

I burnt some paper money to you.

532

Buy something you need.

533

I am busy these days.

534

But I solved a sophisticated case.

535

By the way, your tomb is quite clean.

536

You must have some friends to see you frequently.

537

Princess Minghui.

538

The friend who see him frequently must be you, right?

539

Sir, it's so surprising to see you in front of Jiang Ren's tomb.

540

You may have no idea.

541

Jiang Ren and I were together in the army years ago.

542

We were good friends.

543

Really?

544

I don't know this.

545

I only know that you killed him.

546

It was a critical situation,

547

you know that, Princess.

548

If I didn't kill him in time,

549

he would kill all the people except you.

550

I remember that I have already expressed my thanks to you.

551

But birds of different feathers do not flock together.

552

You are a constable protecting people.

553

But he was a devil who failed to kill people.

554

Can you come to see him with kindness?

555

Don't cry crocodile tears!

556

Who want to kill a good friend with his own hands?

557

He has chosen the wrong way, so he was the one to blame.

558

You really didn't want to kill him, did you?

559

I don't believe you.

♫ Tired off and lights out, it's about to dawn. ♫

561

♫ I never speak out my love sickness. ♫

562

♫ In my dream, we are falling into sweet love. ♫

563

♫ Everyone wants a lifelong lover, ♫

564

♫ but the passion fades away with time. ♫

565

♫ I'm stubborn and you're reluctant. ♫

566

♫ Antagonistic love is so absurd. ♫

567

♫ We can't be reconciled to the past. ♫

568

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

569

♫ but only pity stays as time goes by. ♫

570

♫ I lead a wandering life in the world, ♫

571

♫ pursuing the traces left by you. ♫

572

♫ I hope to get acquaintance with you. ♫

573

♫ Recalling the previous love and hatred with you, ♫

574

♫ I think we live a worthwhile life. ♫

575

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

576

♫ but only pity stays as time goes by. ♫

577

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

578

♫ but only pity stays as time goes by. ♫
