[My Fantastic Mrs. Right] [Season 2]

[Episode 9]

Ah Yan, of the clothes I bought today, which is your favourite?

All of them are nice.

-Don't put me off. -Did I?

I'm glad my husband's paying the bills.

My Lord.

Ah Yan, I won't bother you then.

I'll ask them to take these to my room.

All right, I'll be there.

My Lord, a challenge letter from the Viceroy.

[The two-generation-grudge is impossible to resolve overnight.]

[Around 1 p.m. at Feng Ya Park.]

[Please be there on time.]

[Or the only option will be war in Beiyue.]

[Nanfeng Chen.]

The whole of Beiyue City now know...

that the Viceroy plans a life-and-death game for the consort.

He challenged you using the people's lives.

How will you react?

Of course it's a no!

Who knows what evil plan he has in his mind.

Don't you know?

Lord Beigong represents the Emperor here in Beiyue.

If he doesn't show up, what will the people think?

They'd think that Lord Beigong is scared and reluctant to go.

This will embarrass the royal family, and also lose the people's trust.

-But... -I know what to do.

Keep this from the consort.

My Lord, don't do anything reckless.

You stay here and watch Xiao Qi.

-Don't let her leave the house. -Yes, sir.

Ah Yan, how does this set look?

You look good in anything.

Such a sweet talker.

Oh, let's go.

Since I promised to cook tonight.

I'll let you have a bite of delight.

I can't make it tonight.

My brother has sent a censor here. I need to work later.

I thought so.

Men will always be busy after getting married.

Never mind, get to work. Save it for next time.

Wait for me, I'll be back as soon as possible.

All right, see you later.

My Lord.

And I thought you dare not...

No.

Will not come.

You threaten me with the lives of my people.

Why wouldn't I come?

However, I wish there's one more thing for betting.

If I lose,

this commander's seal will be yours to keep.

Very well.

How do you wish to play the life-and-death game?

This time,

we bet only on our luck.

Between the two of us and Xiao Qi, the only thing I lost to you...

is my less-fortunate luck.

I was one glance slower than you.

So,

I want to gamble on it again.

After you.

Mr. Liu, please add this equinox flower...

to any of these wine cups randomly.

Then, move the cups as you like.

Mr. Liu.

Hurry up.

In the underworld, by the Three-Life Stone,

the equinox flower seizes one's soul.

What an interesting choice of poison.

I told you.

Only one of us will live.

The one who lives can take Xiao Qi away.

Also,

our families must not be involved because of this.

Let's have Mr. Liu be the judge.

Grab some pieces,

and we'll guess the number.

Loser...

drinks a cup of wine.

But as you can see,

one of the three cups of wine...

can cause your instant death.

The rules have been made clear.

Have you got the guts...

to sign the consent agreement?

[Consent agreement]

Why not?

No, sir, this doesn't seem like a joke.

Back off.

Risk my life if you're going to do this.

Have you not?

Why don't you just let go of Xiao Qi?

Back off!

[Beigong Yan]

[Nanfeng Chen]

The consent agreement...

and commander's seal will be entrusted to Mr. Liu.

Here.

Let's get started.

Madam, it's the equinox flower from our tribe.

In the arms of beauties, a hero dies.

Nanfeng Chen would put his military power to use for Mi Xiao Qi?

Now, that's totally spoony.

Whoever lives or dies doesn't bring us any harm.

-What do you think? -You're right.

But Nanfeng Chen still holds a magical jade.

If he dies, it's more advantageous to us.

By the way, what about Mi Xiao Qi?

You can rest assured, it's all prepared.

I deserve to die.

My Lady, the letter is...

Let go.

My Lady.

For the first round,

I'll go for even number.

As for me,

odd number.

It seems like you're not so lucky today.

My Lord.

You're going to be disappointed.

No rush.

There're still two cups of wine.

Let's take our time.

Continue.

Why not let me go first this round?

-I'll go for odd number. -Then I, even number.

Be careful.

Don't get the wrong wine.

-Sir. -Go away.

There's one last round, so it seems.

Please.

I'll stick to my choice.

Even number.

Odd number.

[Challenge letter]

[Nanfeng Chen]

You people...

Inform the Lord, quick!

Looks like...

I truly am luckier than you.

Hopefully we could really put things to an end this time.

I still lose after all.

Hand this to Xiao Qi for me.

Sir.

Are you all right?

Sir.

Sir!

-Madam. -Sir!

Could the bag contain the jade?

Should we start...

My Lord, this is bad!

My Lady was abducted by a black-clothed man.

No need to rush.

Mi Xiao Qi is in our hands.

He'll come on his own.

Get someone to send them a message.

We'll be waiting at the Xiyun Mansion.

Have someone keep an eye on here. Let's return to the Mansion.

Yes.

Sir.

I will come for you after your funeral.

From today onwards,

I, Jin Bao,

and Beigong Residence will be at daggers drawn!

Sir.

Why do I...

have to do the difficult tasks every time?

I'd rather drink that and end this once and for all.

You're awake.

It's you, as I thought.

It seems you've figured out who I am.

Xi Ling, if I still couldn't get it, I'd be a blockhead.

When did you find out?

I felt suspicious when you faked Chu Chu's death.

The only one who'd be loathing me...

is you.

You're smart indeed.

But it's too late.

Your life is in my hands now.

Spit it out.

Where's the magical jade?

Even if I tell you that, I'd still be dead, isn't it?

But if you don't,

you'll die right away.

I'm not so sure about that.

As long as you haven't got the jade from me,

I'd still be alive.

Moreover, you still need me to open the Mo Family's vault.

I know that you're smart.

But sometimes,

being too smart...

may be bad.

Don't worry.

I won't touch such a pretty face.

In case the Lord's heart aches when he sees you,

and he won't hand me the jade, then it'd be a great loss for me.

However...

In a prestigious family,

there're always methods that won't spill blood.

Over the years, there hasn't been anyone...

who could withstand the punishments of the Xi Yun Tribe.

I wonder how tough...

you are!

Let's talk nicely.

You want the magical jade, right? I can give it to you.

But promise that you won't hurt me.

Or I'd have no choice but to take you down with me.

If you're telling the truth, why not?

The magical jade...

is kept in an embroidered bag.

And where's the embroidered bag?

It's with Ah Yan.

But it can only be open when you found another magical jade.

You trying to fool me?

I knew you wouldn't believe me, but it's true.

Ah Yan kept me beside him...

because I have the embroidered bag to find the magical jade.

And I know that you have one too.

You're right this time.

I do have a piece of magical jade.

But I'm not stupid.

I know what you're trying to do.

You're stalling until Beigong Yan comes to your rescue.

Why are you afraid?

I won't kill you.

I'd rather let him...

watch me torture you bit by bit.

Madam.

Madam, Beigong Yan is already outside the forest.

That's quick.

Bring him inside.

Take good care of her, and find out where the magical jade is.

Don't let her die.

I'll not let you down.

Beigong Yan won't come to rescue Mi Xiao Qi alone.

He must have another plan.

Tell them to keep a lookout.

Hang on.

I think I remember...

where the magical jade is.

There's no rush.

Take your time.

When your head is clear, spit everything out.

Stop it!

Ms. Chu Chu.

You go out.

I'll deal with her.

-But Ms. Chu Chu, Madam said... -I'll talk to her.

What is it?

Do you think I'll let her go with the resentment I hold towards her?

-I dare not. -Get out and guard there then!

Why did you save me?

You saved me once, I'm repaying you.

We're even now.

I don't want Brother Yan to hate my sister because of you.

Come on.

Rooms in the Mansion lead to different places through secret passages.

The one here brings you to the front yard.

After you get out, remember to hide yourself.

I'll rescue Brother Yan and take you both out of here.

Keep this in mind, find a hideout. Don't wander around.

If you ever enter the maze, it'll be hard to get out.

Thank you, Chu Chu.

As for Ah Yan, I'll think of something.

You stay out of it.

If it's possible,

leave Beiyue.

Who wants your gratitude?

You're in trouble yourself, don't be a drag on Brother Yan.

Anyway, I'll find a way to get Brother Yan out.

One more thing.

My sister wasn't like this before.

She was very gentle,

and she has a nice smile.

It's just that she's suffered so much that she couldn't get out of the pain.

I'll persuade her.

It's just been a few days, but you've grown up.

Don't you think you're my sister.

Yet, you're not really that unlikeable.

Go, now. Hurry up.

You wench, how dare you seduce Brother Yan.

See if I'll spare you.

I've got the whereabout of jade from her.

Guard here. I'll let my sister know.

You came.

Xi Ling.

We first met under the tree of magnolia too.

I was 15 years old.

My mother said you came to our tribe school.

I couldn't help but feel curious...

to see how extraordinary the rumoured young Lord was.

I didn't expect...

that the one glance cost me my whole life.

I'm sorry.

I didn't know about that.

But you don't care, do you?

I'm looking for Xiao Qi,

and I want to see you too.

See me?

Don't you think it's a little late?

-Back then... -Who are you to talk about back then?

When we were so desperate due to Dong Li Tribe's persecution,

as my fiancé,

why didn't you come for us in time as you did now?

It's merely...

because you didn't care about me.

Oh.

Five years ago,

you should be too busy pledging your oath of love and being lovey-dovey...

with that wench, Xiao Qi.

There was nothing between Xiao Qi and me back then.

We didn't do you wrong.

I wasn't able to reach in time...

as I was unconscious due to the cold poison.

When I came to,

it's all too late.

I could only save Chu Chu.

The other day at Li Tai Xuan,

if you hadn't admitted that the hairpin was a gift you ordered for Mi Xiao Qi,

I would've taken that for real.

Believe or not,

that's the truth.

I came to see you today so that you won't repeat your mistakes.

Mistakes?

Tell me, Beigong Yan,

what mistake could there be...

when it's blood for blood?

So, it was you...

who attacked Dong Li Tribe.

That's right.

The funny part is,

they were not ashamed to beg me.

You must not know,

the mighty chief of Dong Li Tribe...

knelt before me, crying his heart out,

bowing and begging me to spare his grandson.

His pathetic look...

almost had me relented.

But guess what did I do?

Dongfang Ming Chu, the most outstanding of Dong Li's grandchildren.

He's exceptionally talented...

and was trained to become the new chief.

He ended up...

becoming a human pig.

Do you think I was ruthless?

That was exactly what they deserved.

Have you ever thought of what started this?

Art, military, handiwork and medical. The four tribes branch off the same tree.

They all do their parts, restraint but also help each other.

But you two tribes became ill-intentioned to the Nanfengs,

trying to seize their magical jade to expand power.

In the end,

you mistakenly caused the death of Nanfeng Mo.

The weak becomes prey,

it is inevitable.

If that's the case, why did you feel aggrieved?

Xi Ling,

let it be over.

All the blabber...

Isn't it just for Mi Xiao Qi's sake, as you want me to release her?

What a pity.

It's too late.

What did you do to her?

I killed her, of course.

What else do you think?

You wouldn't.

You wouldn't kill her before you get the jade.

Where's Mi Xiao Qi?

I've been guarding here.

Only...

Only Ms. Chu Chu entered.

Search for her now.

You're right.

I don't wish to kill her yet.

I need her to open the Mo Family's vault for me after all.

But, my Lord,

this doesn't stop me from "taking care" of her.

You'd better not touch her.

Or I'll pay it back tenfold.

Bring the Consort out.

Xiao Qi.

Nanfeng Chen's magical jade...

must have been with you too.

Three pieces of magical jades for the Consort's safety in return.

You wouldn't disagree, would you?

Hand out the magical jade now.

Or I don't know where my knife...

will land first.

[Xiao Qi turns into a cat when injured.]

[But she didn't.]

I have the magical jade,

but I need to make sure she's Xiao Qi.

Come over and see for yourself.

Aren't you worried when I go over there, you'll lose your hostage?

Is Xi Yun Mansion a place you could come and go as you wish?

My Lord, you wouldn't want to see Ms. Xiao Qi to get...

Don't touch her!

Or forget about any magical jade.

Hand me Xiao Qi, and I'll give you the magical jades.

You do love your wife so much...

that you'd even give up the jades?

[It seems like things are going well.]

Brother Yan, run!

This is not Sister Xiao Qi.

Attack.

Brother Yan.

It's you! You're alive?

You look disappointed.

Sister, let Brother Yan go.

Did you forget how much you used to like him?

Don't bring up the past.

A heartless man deserves to die.

You planned this.

Just playing along with your game.

[Aren't you eager to find the magical jade?]

[I know where the fourth jade is.]

[You mean, Xi Yun Tribe's magical jade?]

[Tang Yun is Xi Ling.]

[That's really her.]

[Her family was killed by the Dong Li Tribe after I framed them.]

[I also saved her...]

[so she'll return for revenge one day, and attack Dong Li Tribe for me.]

[But I have underestimated her.]

[It was her who told me about the Mo Family's offerings.]

[She tried to start a conflict between you and Ah Yan with it.]

[So, when shepherds quarrel, the wolf has a winning game.]

[This is equinox flower's cure.]

[Gentlemen, all you have to do is take it two hours before you drink the wine.]

[You're pretending to have a life-and-death game because of me,]

[so Tang Yun will let her guard down,]

[then lure her out with the magical jades?]

[Maybe there's one more thing we can put a bet on.]

[During your game, I'll stay on my own.]

[She won't let the chance to kidnap me slip by.]

-[No way!] -[No.]

[This is the fastest way to enter Xi Yun Mansion.]

[The forest outside the mansion is a miasma-filled maze.]

[Without their guidance, we could never get in, and might even die.]

[But I'm different. I'm poison-proof.]

[The miasma in the maze is useless against me.]

[I'll leave marks along the way, and they can guide you into the Mansion.]

[You've neglected the key part.]

[You're poison-proof, but we're not.]

[Even if you could get in, it'd be pointless.]

[I think,]

[based on the embroidered bag's clue, the magical jade is in Xi Yun Mansion.]

[And if no one goes in to find the trigger to lift the miasma,]

[it's less likely to get the jade.]

[That's why I have to go.]

[No, it's too dangerous.]

[If you fall into her hands,]

[it could be disastrous.]

[Xi Ling abducts me for the magical jades.]

[As long as she hasn't got it, she won't kill me.]

[She even needs me to open the vault.]

[Yes, she won't kill you, but what if she hurt you?]

[I have a secret weapon.]

[Ah Yan, there'll never be a perfect plan.]

[So, we need to take the chances.]

[Your safety is not the chances I'd take.]

[My Lord, the Consort is right.]

[No plan is perfect.]

[This might be the best idea we can get now.]

[And we're running out of time.]

[Maybe...]

[we can increase our odds of winning.]

[I'll go into hiding.]

[Let Xiao Qi get in first.]

[I'll keep Xi Ling busy.]

[As for Xiao Qi...]

[I'm counting on you.]

[Let's not let Bai Tie know of this.]

[In case he ruins it.]

[My Lady.]

[Move.]

[Leave, both of you.]

[Don't try to play smart.]

[Even if you'd taken the cure,]

[without me to lead you, you'd still die in the miasma forest.]

[Copper sulphate turns blue in water.]

[She actually remembers it.]

[I've gotten the cure for the miasma.]

[Get it to them using the secret passage.] [I'll assist Beigong Yan.]

[Be careful.]

[All right, you too.]

[We'll be there soon.]

[Go now.]

Stop now, Xi Ling. The city guards have besieged here.

Hand out the magical jades. We don't want to hurt you.

I do not fear death.

You want the magical jade?

I'll destroy it.

Brother Yan, be careful.

Sister, disable the trigger.

Brother Yan could die!

Madam, the Rain Needles can't hold them for long.

Let's retreat now.

Sister!

Xiao Qi!

Xiao Qi!

Chu Chu.

Chu Chu.

Chu Chu, don't be scared.

Chu Chu, everything's going to be all right.

Don't make me worry.

Sis...

Sister.

It hurts.

Let's get out of here.

I don't like Beiyue.

The sky here...

isn't as nice as it used to be.

Sister...

It's been a...

A long while since you smile.

Chu Chu.

Chu Chu.

Chu Chu!

[Stay tuned for the post-credits scene!]

Cut. Chu Chu's part is done!

Get up.

Next up...

Next up, please welcome...

our best supporting actress to give a finishing speech.

As the first character to die,

I first need to thank someone.

The director!

Chu Chu, rest in peace!

Don't miss us!

Thank you, director, for releasing me from suffering so soon.

I no longer have to prepare fish maw,

cook it and bring it to Brother Yan every day anymore.

Here, fish maw for you.

Instant fish maw, it's good for your skin.

You can drink it anytime you like.

Brother Yan!

Happy finishing to me again.

Playing with this crazy lot is exhausting after all.
