[The Trust]

[Episode 05]

Your Majesty.

Hengshan Duke is here.

Your Majesty.

Rise, Uncle.

Swindle money out of a junior.

Shame on you.

Your Majesty.

Is there something wrong?

I heard recently that

uncle won all properties of Jinming.

Is it true?

Well.

I'm just kidding.

Kidding?

Why don't you return my money?

Why does Uncle always have a game with Jinming?

How about me?

I dare not, Your Majesty.

You need to govern national affairs every day.

I dare not bother you, please forgive me. Your Majesty.

Well.

Let's have a game.

How about this?

We also do not play pai gow,

nor do we play a dicing game.

How about archery?

Archery?

Your Majesty.

You don't like archery all the time.

Why do you mention that today?

Uncle, join or not?

If I lose,

you can get the hot spring villa of the countryside.

But if you lose,

you just return all the money of Jinming to me.

How do you say?

I agree with that.

Great.

There's no time like the present.

How about now?

Sure.

It's done. It's over.

My brother will lose his villa.

Here.

Let's go back.

My god!

Who can save my brother?

How dare you!

How dare you provide His Majesty with such inferior arrows?

Please forgive me, Duke.

In military training camps,

we are usually trained with this kind of arrows.

Your Majesty and Duke arrived suddenly,

I haven't prepared advanced arrows.

It's not a problem.

Our soldiers can use them,

then I can.

Your Majesty.

Emperor's prestige is shown in detail.

If Your Majesty don't mind using

this kind of inferior arrow today,

I am really worried that

no one shows their respect to you in the future.

Take him down.

And punish him with 20 sticks.

Yes, sir!

Wait.

Uncle, don't make a fuss.

Generosity,

is the best way to show the royal family's prestige.

Your Majesty.

I've spent half of my life in the military.

I do know the rules well.

Punish for faults and reward for success.

There is a clear standard of faults and merits,

so soldiers won't disobey military orders,

and our military camp can be stable.

Take him down now!

Yes, sir!

No advanced arrows in camp,

why don't you get them now?

Why do you still stay here?

Yes, sir!

Hengshan Duke, he's a jerk!

Out of royal court,

he shows no respect to His Majesty.

Your Majesty.

About your archery skill, I think...

My brother is usually cautious.

Why can't he keep calm today?

Well.

I must save him.

Brother.

Why are you here?

Uncle.

You're also here.

Today, His Majesty is in a good mood.

I'd like to play archery with His Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Could you please visit Mother with me?

Look.

It's not interesting at all.

Our mother has been to Lingyin Temple to pray.

She will come back this evening.

Why does he not understand my intention?

Where is His Majesty?

Your Highness.

His Majesty went to play archery with Hengshan Duke.

Archery?

What archery?

Hengshan Duke and Lord Xiaoyao played football.

Lord Xiaoyao lost 800 taels.

His Majesty learned about that then,

so he asked to play archery with Hengshan Duke

to win back the money.

Your Majesty.

Please.

Uncle, don't be modest.

Please.

Yes. Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Please.

My brother... he hit the target.

He did it!

Yes!

Your Majesty.

Come on!

Your Majesty!

Come on!

You can do it.

Yes!

Yes!

Great!

Your Majesty, excellent!

Great!

Yes!

How's it possible?

Uncle.

This time,

the game result is clear, right?

Yes.

Your Majesty shows excellent archery skills.

I am impressed.

It's impressive.

Jinming's money...

It's all of my money.

Put it down.

High officials, noble lords and rich men

are paying tax now.

About your 800 taels,

what do you think?

My brother.

Why don't you take care of your people?

My people?

You are Lord Xiaoyao.

You should be a good model, right?

OK, fine.

It's in vain.

But...

your archery skills were really bad before.

I-I've practiced more.

So... so it's not bad now.

It's said that

practice makes perfect.

Practice... practice makes perfect.

The silly boy,

why does he become clever suddenly?

Well.

You also learn stitching from sister-in-law?

Well... that...

What are you doing?

Your Majesty.

These are the official documents

you asked me to get.

There is only one truth.

My brother is going crazy.

Jinming.

Why do you spin round and round?

The promise you made just now is still valid?

This is the money you won for Jinming.

Not only did I win the game money for Jinming,

he also offered to

donate 800 taels to our military.

You just get recovered now.

Keep a low profile.

Don't get into trouble.

Yes.

Really?

He is crazy.

Crazy.

Is there any emperor who is henpecked?

And his archery ability was improved by leaps and bounds,

even he has overtaken Hengshan Duke.

Except sister-in-law,

anyone else can achieve that?

And strangely enough,

is there any emperor who knows how to stitch？

But...

Maybe...

Could it be...

It must be...

My brother is going insane.

Sister-in-law didn't allow my brother to hold the imperial concubine selection,

Brother is caged in the palace, so he gets crazy.

I'm so clever.

Why do you bring me here?

Brother.

Let's go outside of the palace.

Right.

I'm a man now.

I can go outside easily.

I can hang out now.

Your Majesty.

We'll be discovered if we don't leave now.

Is it funny?

Of course.

Let's go.

Brother, wrong way.

This is right.

Let's go.

- Great! - Good!

Bravo!

Brother.

You must feel bored that you're locked in the palace all day.

Look.

With your management,

Jingan is so prosperous.

We've been not going outside for a long time

to experience and observe how people live now.

Great!

Bravo!

Wow!

This gentleman looks so handsome.

Right.

Why do you cover your face?

I'm worried to cause trouble

because of my handsome face.

Wontons with chicken soup.

Hot and sour noodles.

I think I also smelled...

Chinese hamburger!

Must eat that!

Let's change.

It's been a long time

since I had such delicious snacks.

It's a kind of main course.

Brother.

Staying with your wife for a long time,

you also have bad manners like her now.

- Great! - Amazing!

- It's good. -Yeah.

- Excellent. - Great.

Really good.

Good.

No wonder men like to go to brothels.

It is interesting.

Brother.

Cheers.

Miss Mudan.

Mr. Jin has not been here for a long time.

His Majesty came here before?

Brother.

Brother.

How could you know Miss Mudan?

My old friend.

Gentlemen.

What do you think of my dance?

Do you like it?

This dance should only exist in heaven.

how many times can one get to see it in this mortal world?

Brother, what do you think?

Yeah.

- It's precious. - Great.

Mr. Xiaoyao has good taste.

I'd like to ask Mr. Jin,

do you know the meaning of my dance?

It's beyond description.

It's beyond description.

Right.

It's been a long time since we met.

But the way you speak

has the wisdom of Zen now.

R-Really?

W-Well.

A toast to both of you.

I'll drink it all.

Bottom up.

Yes.

I got a silk belt

from one of my friends

who found this precious in the North.

You can tie it to your waist.

And it has an aroma.

I won't give it to anyone,

but you, my Lord.

I hope you can take it.

Interesting.

Sounds interesting.

That's how people get along with each other

at the brothel?

Exchange.

Thank you, my Lord.

Lord Xiaoyao.

Mudan has to leave now.

It does smell good.

What? I want to try it.

It's so good.

Isn't it?

Brother, you're so great.

Just by a few words,

now you're the guest of the courtesan.

What is it?

Your Highness.

[Hundred]

Why are you here alone again?

Where is His Majesty?

He... I...

Where is he?

His Majesty left with Lord Xiaoyao.

[Xunfang Brothel]

I didn't notice you. Are you a ghost?

Don't scare me.

Where were you?

Shouldn't you stay at your Fengyi Palace?

Why did you come to my palace?

Answer it.

Where were you?

I went to the place...

where you often go.

I didn't expect a decent emperor

would go to the brothel.

Can't you hold your desire

stopping sneaking out?

How dare you did it?

What?

You are not the only one...

who can do it.

How dare you do that!

What do you want?

You're not allowed now.

Why can't I?

I am a man now.

How can you stop me?

Xu Yu.

Do you really think

I was going for those prostitutes?

I was asking for--

For what?

You can't do nothing

but sleep and drink at a brothel.

Only if some spies are working there.

But if you arranged some spies,

do you have to get information on your own?

Enough.

You won't understand.

What?

W-What do you mean?

Honey water?

I can't believe he cares about me.

It's sweet.

Jinming.

I hope,

you won't take His Majesty

out of the palace.

Your Highness. I'll never do it again.

It's fine. You can leave.

Let's go.

Have fun with me.

Don't do it. Brother.

Your wife is getting mad.

I don't care who she is.

Did you see any emperor afraid of his wife?

You are not afraid of her, but I am.

Brother.

I just feel

a bit of aggressiveness from her.

If she says stand up,

I dare not sit down.

It feels like you used to be.

Listen,

if she finds out anything,

you can tell her

we just went to work out.

It's not a problem.

No, I can't.

Why?

I don't have money.

D-Don't touch me.

I paid for it last night.

Is it enough?

It is.

Brother.

This noodle restaurant doesn't look good,

but the taste is the best of all.

Is it?

Do you notice

the Northern Street is so empty?

And there are more beggars now.

The Northern Street is for common people.

The rich lives in the southern area.

Here it is.

Try it.

Thank you.

Please enjoy.

Sir.

The sauce

is much less now.

Don't cheat on me.

As you said, my Lord.

I know you often come to have noodles.

But,

the royal court has new policies,

and asked the lords in the city

to pay border tax equally.

I've been running this restaurant for years.

I don't want to raise the price,

so,

I just cut down on the amount of meat sauce.

Please don't get angry about this.

Here are some free pickles.

Sir.

Don't lie to us.

I don't think the amount of meat sauce

has anything to do

with the border tax.

My Lord.

You don't know it.

It's said the lords

should pay the tax.

But their money

comes from us in the end.

Here is the thing.

Since it has been implemented,

the owner of the meat shop

raised the meat price.

The owner of the rice shop

raised the rice price.

The owner of the cloth shop

raised the price of cloth.

After what they did,

the common people

have to struggle with it in the end.

Look around,

there are more beggers

on the street.

The tax is a necessary weapon to rule the city.

Many people get involved in.

A problem will result in a serious consequence.

Well.

I can't simply explain everything to you.

Go away. Get out of here.

- I'm starving. - I'm starving.

Sir.

We've been starving

for two days.

Sir.

Two bowls of noodles.

We will pay.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.

Here, come on with me.

This way.

Brother.

It takes time to improve people's well-being.

Don't blame yourself.

The policy won't

influence our brothel at all.

Our customers are rich or royal.

People who complain about the tax

are almost poor.

The rich can always find a way to make more money.

That's why we often say

poor people will turn poorer easily,

while rich people will turn richer easily.

But as an ancient saying goes,

"Governing a big country is like cooking".

I think it means

we should make it simple and easy.

I did misunderstand him.

The policy,

can't be made without thinking twice.

Mudan.

The rich who often visit here,

who are they?

As you know,

Lord Xiaoyao is one of them.

And...

The eldest son of General Xu

often visited us, too.

My elder brother often came here?

Do you remember the silk belt

that I gave to you?

It's a present from him...

So what did Lord Xu come for?

Well...

I don't know.

But if I know, I can't say it.

I'm just curious.

Mudan,

tell me whatever you know.

I can feel that Young Master Xu didn't come for fun.

It seemed that he was here for business.

And he didn't want to be seen.

Why did he come here secretly?

How could I know it?

My brother is fighting on the battlefield.

But there're people trying to defame him.

She said it deliberately

to the emperor.

That's how Xiao Jinyun

collected the information here.

Go.

Wait for a moment. Ladies.

My Dear.

There are two important things

I have to tell you.

It's too late.

How did it come one day earlier?

Xu Yu.

Your Majesty.

Change your clothes first.

I bled so much.

Will I die?

Slowly.

Why do I feel so uncomfortable?

His Majesty is very weak now.

I can't tell him

what they said about my brother.

Sit down.

Easy.

Don't think too much.

You'll feel better

only if you don't eat anything cold.

Well. It will be good.

I will warm it for you.

Your Highness.

This is the soup

made of longan, red dates, and ginger.

Please drink and ease the pain.

Give it to me.

I will help her.

You can leave now.

Here.

How long does it take to feel better?

If it goes well,

it only takes one day.

But...

I-If you drink anything cold...

No.

I need to see the doctor.

You don't have to.

As a woman,

we live in this way day after day.

I see.

It's too hard to be a woman.

Your Majesty.

We shouldn't waste this chance.

Can you give birth for me?

If you are pregnant,

you won't struggle with the period every month.

No.

It is too bland.

[I've loved Xiao Jinyun since I was a kid.]
