Lord Zhao, do you know who I am?

Don't call me by the wrong name.

Princess Minghui, set your mind at rest.

I won't mistake you for Ye Yuan'an.

Good.

You're so drunk. Come to have a good rest.

I'm so honored

and dignified to let you serve me, Princess.

What are you talking about, my husband?

I'm your wife. I'm doing what I should do.

To be honest, Princess Minghui,

no matter what you do for me, I will always doubt it.

- Why? - Because I don't know if you're hiding some conspiracy behind these deeds again,

and is scheming for some plot.

Being with a woman like you,

I'm unable to consummate our marriage and be your husband.

What do you want?

I've agreed to marry you as you wished.

But you should also say yes to my one condition.

Let's be a nominal couple from now on,

and draw a line between us.

I won't touch you and you can't touch me.

A nominal couple?

How dare you, Zhao Lanzhi!

How dare you put me off in a marriage granted by the empress!

Go and tell the empress on me then!

Ask her to kill me!

I know what you are thinking.

Zhao Lanzhi. You think that I'll give up on you

just by treating me coldly?

Are you stilling clinging to the hope that you and Ye Yuan'an can get back together?

Let me tell you...It's impossible!

What is it that I can't do?!

I wanted you and I got you,

and now you have to stay with me.

This is our ending,

the best ending.

Just be good and be my husband.

Think no more of it.

You are mine...

Forever mine.

Don't even think of leaving.

Don't leave me.

The bed is ready. Why don't you go to rest?

The ground is so hard. The straws on it can't make it soft enough to sleep on.

Then... I'll find more straws to put on it.

It's late. Who asked you to do that?

Why do you think I can't do it by myself? You think I'm disabled?

No. It's freezing outside.

I'm afraid you might catch a cold.

Let me be clear, if you hadn't agreed to marry me,

at this moment, I would be lying in my own bed and dreaming!

You don't regard it as your fault?

I was afraid that you'll be sad, hence—

Hence, I'm not sad anymore right now?!

Can you just mind your own business?

Otherwise, I would have to clean up your mess if you got yourself into trouble again!

It may feel more comfortable now. Go to sleep.

Why must you do this?!

I don't deserve your kindness. Just leave me!

I'm sorry, Mu Le. I'm sorry.

You said that you like me,

but in fact, your real love is Zhao Lanzhi.

I shouldn't have come back here!

Why did I come back to see her?

Why did I come back to see her?!

It's time to take him back.

Master, the empress sent someone to check on

your work of deciphering the magic of beads.

How did you answer it?

We told them that our master is extremely busy every day

in deciphering the beads,

just like you said before.

Good! Such a smart kid.

Master, it's said that the magic in ancient times

has been written on these Divine Beads.

It can help one prevail over his adversaries and gain the world.

The former State Preceptor Tianqiao

helped the emperor and the empress make sophisticated weapons

with only some inconsistent pieces of information he deciphered from them.

Now, you have all of the beads.

Why aren't you creating something for the empress

and let us witness the super power of these Divine Beads?

You're too young to understand this.

If all the magic in there was deciphered

and then used by some evildoers,

the whole world would be in a disaster!

Well well... You may go to sleep. I'd like to be alone here.

Yes.

Timing and Translation provided by the Tang Yamen Team at Viki

It's you. Why are you here?

I've been waiting for you since our separation at Huodu Mountain.

Thank you for saving my life last time.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Yes. And it's important.

What is it?

I'd like to take you back to your hometown, the Kingdom of Suoluo.

You know about Suoluo?

Have you ever heard of a word,

"Huole De Tuotuo"?

I know it! But how did you know it!

What on earth does it mean?

I'll tell you about it later.

I'd like to talk about the things that have happened to you

and tell me if I was right.

Although you've forgotten who you are,

strange things kept happening on your body.

For example, you have great strength than the average people;

and you run especially fast.

During fight, even without any training, you were able to learn

the every move of your opponent and make progress in no time.

Another example, your wounds can recover themselves.

Are you kidding me? Where's the wound?

What else do you know?

I also know that you often see another you,

but that "you" isn't a slave.

Instead, he is seasoned in battle;

he's an invincible warrior.

Because of this,

you can defeat all the soldiers when you were at Huodu Mountain.

You are not a common man!

You were born to be a king with granted super power.

Who are you? How did you know so much about me?

I'm... a royalty?

Yes...

- What are you doing?! - You're Prince Ying of Suoluo!

And I'm Zhenzhen, your servant!

Tell me! What happened?

You came to the State of Tang on a mission

and went through a lot, but forgotten who you are.

You were injured by a huge rock at Huodu Mountain and almost lost your life.

I brought you back to life with a pill.

However, that wasn't the end of your suffering...

Now, you're heart-broken for a woman.

If you take this blue pill, you'll recover your memories,

the memories that belong to Prince Ying,

Are you saying,

I can get back

my memories by taking this pill?

Hold on! The pill can recover your memories,

but it can also deprive you of your memories about what you've experienced in Tang,

including the woman who broke your heart.

Stop right there, Zhao Lanzhi! You can't leave!

Get out!

She's never regarded you as a servant.

Perhaps in her heart, you are more important than me.

Help me to look after her.

Yuan'an, our fate is over.

If we can't be husband and wife, why insist on it?

Do you really want to ruin my wedding?

You said that you like me,

but in fact, your real love is

Zhao Lanzhi.

Please arise, Zhenzhen. Didn't I tell you before,

you are not only my servant, but also my fellow warrior.

No need to kneel down in front of me.

Prince, do you remember the meaning of "Huole De Tuotuo"?

Yes, of course I remember it.

Do you know it's a great crime to break into Futu Pagoda?

If you want to get the Divine Beads, you must beat me first.

It's you?! Why do you want to steal the Divine Beads?

I come here to take back the thing that belonged to us.

Wait! If I don't willingly give you the Divine Beads,

it's no use taking them.

Which one do you want, your life or the Divine Beads?

Help!

State Preceptor!

What happened, State Preceptor?

State Preceptor...

Hurry up and report to Empress that the Divine Beads were taken away!

The beads were taken away?!

Let's go and tell the empress!

How come you all left? Will there be no one caring for me?!

I'd better lie down for a while.

Timing and Translation provided by the Tang Yamen Team at Viki

How dare you! Do you know who I am?

Directress Ye, please calm down.

I'm Chen Guang, the commander of the Palace Guards.

The empress sent me to escort you into the palace.

I wonder what I have done wrong,

to deserve an escort on this scale.

I'm afraid I have no idea.

We should know when we get there.

I'm sorry, Directress Ye.

Why did the empress summon us so urgently?

Zhao Lanzhi, you're allowed to neglect me.

But I want you to know that we've bowed to the heaven and earth. We are now a married couple.

I won't let you go no matter whatever Ye Yuan'an does!

And even if the empress personally decrees it,

I would disobey her order!

Princess, don't look down upon me.

A man won't worry about his love life at this moment.

Look at these guards. They are three times the normal number.

The empress must call on us for something more serious than what we can imagine.

Say no more and play it by ear.

Greetings, Your Highness.

State Preceptor, what are you trying to pull here?

The Divine Beads were stolen and I feel guilty for it.

Therefore I tried to drown my guilt and drank a kilo of snake wine last night.

However, in the middle of night, I felt a serious itch and got a rash all over my body.

It must be the snake poison!

You're in Zhenguan Hall! Behave yourself!

Tianshu, I order you to remove the mask right now!

No, I can't do that. My face is awful...

I'm afraid that it might frighten you.

Well then, I will have your head cut off,

and then I will remove it by myself.

Please don't...

I'll do it myself.

State Preceptor,

your face looks fine.

Yes...It recovered by itself!

It must be your power and grace that pushed out the poison in my body!

Your Highness is indeed wise. Thank you, Your Highness!

State Preceptor,

monks don't tell lies.

You've been messing me around since you entered this hall,

avoiding to mention the Divine Beads.

When will you tell me the truth?

Your Highness, I am telling the truth.

The Divine Beads were stolen and I'm at fault.

But, what do you want?

I've gave you time to decipher the secrets hidden in the Divine Beads.

However, you didn't finish the task;

worse than that, you lost the Divine Beads!

Tell me, why do I need to keep you alive?

Well, it sounds like that it's indeed useless to keep me here.

How about you letting me leave here

and I'll find a clean place to kill myself?

Greetings, Your Highness.

Zhao Lanzhi, I order you to kill this old fellow now!

Your Highness, stop kidding me!

Do you really believe that I could be killed by this sword?

Even if you kill me, you'll never have the Divine Beads back!

Well, let me see what other excuses you can give.

Guard! Bring me Ye Yuan'an!

Greetings, Your Highness!

I'm willing to accept my punishment.

But I beg you, tell me what I have done wrong.

I've been sleeping in a cave and I have no idea of my wrongdoing.

You bitch!

You've married him and got what you want. Why did you still slander me?!

Unruly! How dare you act atrociously while in front of the empress?!

I know nothing about your crime, so how could I harm you?

You're crazy!

Enough!

State Preceptor Tianshu, you're right.

I won't kill you.

How could I possibly get back my Divine Beads without your help?

But Ye Yuan'an's life will depend

on your performance.

Zhao Lanzhi,

I order you to put the sword at Ye Yuan'an's neck.

- Your Highness... You want to disobey my order?

Do it!

Alright! I will tell you!

Actually, we've met the robber before.

Please think back, among those who tried to take back the Divine Beads, who is absent here?

Could it be Ye Yuan'an's horse servant, Mu Le?

- You're smart! - You must tell the truth in front of Her Highness!

I've fought with him. I don't think I got the wrong person.

Stop it, Mu Le! Listen to me!

I...

Little brat, all I want is to say something, okay?

Mu Le, you...

Although I did everything I can to protect the Divine Beads,

I was not a match for Mu Le

since he had the protection of the Divine Beads.

Therefore, I can only let him take them away in front of me.

Are you sure that it was Mu Le?

That was definitely true.

Guard! Go to the Ye Mansion and bring that slave to me!

Yes, Your Highness!

Search!

Commander Chen, what are you searching my house with so many guards?

Mr. Ye, where is the horseboy called Mu Le?

I don't think you know who my sister is.

She's Lady Ye, favored by her highness!

You'll be in deep trouble if you offend her!

Yuanning!

I almost forget to tell you that,

we are here to get Mu Le on her highness' demand.

- Sir, he isn't here! - Sir, we didn't find him!

- He isn't here, neither. - No sign of Mu Le!

Since that he disappeared from the Ye's Mansion,

all of you here must have something to do with it!

Take them away!

Wait!

What on earth happened here!

Mr. Ye, you'll have your questions answered right in front of her highness.

Take them away!

Master!

Your highness, there's no sign of Mu Le there!

Ye Yuan'an,

your horseboy is missing with the beads.

It's obvious that this was planned beforehand.

You tell me, how will you compensate for the loss by yourself?

Your highness, Mu Le is nobody but a horseboy.

He isn't home now; perhaps he would be back soon.

You're still defending him at this moment!

Mu Le has been loyal to me and there's no way he could've done such a thing

since he knows nothing about the beads.

Your highness, it must be a misunderstanding!

Please find out the truth!

Your horseboy is now missing with the beads;

it's clear that he tried to hide away!

There's no such thing as a misunderstanding!

Zhao Lanzhi, I order you to kill Ye Yuan'an at once!

Your highness, I must ask you to think again.

It's easy to kill Ye yuan'an but difficult to get back the beads.

What's important is to find the beads.

You old fool! You're about to die and you're still laughing!

It's said that you're an empress with wisdom and grace.

Actually, I didn't expect that you would panic for the beads.

You should bear this in mind

as Yuanan's servant, Mu Le only takes her orders.

Who can help you take back the beads when Yuan'an is dead?

He has a point. Please think twice.

Okay. That sounds reasonable.

The beads are gone and I want you to find them back.

If I couldn't have the beads returned within seven days,

I would put people in both Ye's Mansion and Prince Yu's Mansion,

all the apprentices of State Preceptor, and Zhao Lanzhi's relatives

all of them to death!

Is that all clear?

Yes, Your highness.

Tell me, where's Mu Le? I'm going to catch him.

I said I don't know. How many times do I have to tell you? I don't know!

What's wrong with her?

She's emotionally unstable. I'm afraid she might go mad.

At this point, it looks like she would become a psychopath.

Mr. Zhao, we have only seven days to solve it.

All our lives will depend on it!

Do you have any idea?

I suggest a full-scale manhunt in the whole town.

That doesn't sound good. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find

a man at large in such a big place.

You're only able to use sarcasm!

Are you not a State Preceptor? Come up with an idea!

Oh...I, as a State Preceptor, could not compare with you-

the former State Preceptor's best disciple!

The empress has once praised your wit;

and I guess you've already come up with something to catch the thief.

What's wrong with you? You don't sound like yourself.

And, what is it?

No, no...

So dull.

Goodbye, State Preceptor!

Goodbye!

Move away!

You two have a look! It's so precious!

- Stay right there! - Don't move!

- Don't move! - Don't move!

Sir, for what crime should I be arrested?

For what crime?

Crime? It's the beads in your hand! Take them away!

- Move!-I'm innocent!

One hundred taels of gold are offered for the capture of this criminal!

It's a large reward! This guy must have committed a serious crime.

- Anyone that catches him will be rich! - Yes.

- I think it's you! - No, it wasn't me! Sir!

- You can't wrong a good person!- Take him! Move!

- Sir! - Why did they take him away?

Come on, Mu Le.

Where on earth are you? I won't be mad at you again;

I'll apologize to you.

Show up and go to meet the empress with me,

to tell everyone that you didn't steal the beads,

and that it's a misunderstanding!

Pass!

- Be careful! If you let the criminal get away with the beads... - Pass!

you'll lose your life!

Yes, sir!

It's suspicious...

Sir, I'm afraid there must be some mistake. This is my abacus used for accounting.

Abacus? I was asked to confiscate anything that contains beads.

- You're taking it?- Just leave!

Go!

Sir! I'm innocent! Let me go!

Sir, we have all the suspects in this town,

including antique dealers and jewelers, locked up here.

And these are the beads we got.

None of them is what we're looking for.

Don't be slack in your duty and don't count on these stuff to pass it!

We have only three days left. We have to hurry.
