Episode Twenty-seven

What?

His Majesty let Yuan Song

be in charge of Celestial Prison?

The...

the commission has arrived at the Ministry of Personnel.

Yuan Song will take up an official post tomorrow morning.

These old men are very active

when there's nothing to do.

But if things really happen,

they all turn silent.

His Majesty was in a fit of anger.

At that time,

nobody dared to take the risk.

Yuwen Yue

won't watch Yan Xun die

and do nothing.

Since he dares to set against me.

Then I will show no mercy

on him.

Young Master, you want to...

Go to the prison

and take back the warrant,

then take the killer of my grandfather to court.

Young Master, you want to...

Be quiet and go.

Yes, yes.

Where is Yan Xun?

Who are you?

Go!

Over there, over there.

Get up!

Chu!

Yan Xun!

Chu!

Yan Xun!

Don't move.

(Sound of laughing)

What did you do

to Yan Xun?

Miss Xing'er.

Could you please not

make things difficult for us servants?

Otherwise, Prince Yan Xun

will endure more tortures.

Take her away.

Yes.

Go.

Go to hell!

It is such a small world.

Tell me.

Now that you can't escape.

Master Zhang is also here.

Who was it that sent you to

kill my grandfather?

It was you.

Nonsense.

You are still covering up for Yuwen Yue, right?

Didn't you say that

Yuwen Yue was the one that sent you

to kill my grandfather that day?

Does it matter that who killed him?

You people in Yuwen Household are always

killing each other.

What is so interesting about one person's death?

Stubborn girl.

When you are put to torture,

I wonder if you can still be this stubborn.

Guards!

Young Master Yue arrives!

You are quite informed.

Master Zhang.

Young Master Yue,

this crime

was committed by your house slave.

It is supposed to

be dealt with inside your household.

However, Master Yuwen Xi

was an important official.

His case

has been recorded in Chang'an Hall.

Therefore,

I have to attend this interrogation.

As to how to deal with this matter,

I hope that you can decide after discussion.

Of course, you don't need to consider me and the authorities.

You have no right to deal with

the slave in my Green Hills Court.

The slave in your Green Hills Court

killed my grandfather.

Don't I have the right to deal with her?

Fine.

In this case, I will take her

and reply you later

after the interrogation.

Yue Qi, take Xing'er away.

(Sound of swords)

Yuwen Yue,

are you dreaming?

Why is it up tp you?

Do you like her?

What's the secret between you two?

Is your heart filled with pain?

Fine.

Do you feel hurt seeing her like this?

How embarrasing.

Taday, I will make

your life miserable.

A woman that I can't control

is inferior to a dead body.

Take her away.

Hold it.

Who knows whether she is really dead.

Master Zhang, please examine her.

Okay, I'll see if she's really dead.

Young Master Huai,

she is really dead.

Yuwen Yue,

I have looked down upon you.

My servant must be killed

through my hands.

Master Zhang, farewell.

Take care, Young Master.

Yue Qi,

take her away.

Young Master Yue,

His Majesty is summoning you.

Okay.

Please wait for me to change in my house.

There's no time

for you to get changed.

Young Master Yue, hurry up and follow me.

His Majesty will be angry

in a minute.

Take the body back and wait for my orders.

Yes.

After you.

Alright.

My needle

hit the Guan Yuan acupuncture point of Xing'er,

blocking up her blood and thus making her faint.

It looks exactly like the symptom of death

to cover up for her.

But if not dealt with in time,

she will die because of the blocked blood.

Where is Yue'er?

His Majesty summoned him.

And Young Master was called to the Palace.

It's not the right time

for His Majesty to summon him.

What is he busy with these days?

I don't know, either.

He hasn't come to see me

since that day I told you

to shot Yan Xun using his Bingxue Arrow,

and let out the information.

Young Master

will understand.

Master, all your actions are for his interests.

Where is Yue Qi?

Let him see me.

Yes.

There is tip-off saying that

robing and killing at Celestial Prison that day

is your idea.

Your Majesty,

this is purely a false accusation.

Two days after that,

I did

stay outside Celestial Prison every night

and kill the assassins.

It's you.

Yes.

Though Your Majesty

has absolved the prince,

there's still some people

who come to kill the prince

for their own interests,

regardless of Your Majesty's order

and the law of our country.

As a member of Wei State,

let alone that I have received Your Majesty's favors,

I can't just sit back and watch.

You are quite honest.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Today, the border got alarm signals,

saying that situation was tense.

If you have such loyalty,

you can enrich your experience by going to the borders.

As for the Eyes of God,

it's not suitable

for you to take charge anymore.

From today,

your elder brother Yuwen Huai takes over.

You can set off

after you finish

what you are doing.

What?

Are you not willing to go there?

I will obey your order.

You can leave.

Your Majesty,

Do you distrust Yuwen Yue?

No, I'm not.

People like Yuwen Yue

have their

own principles.

He's not one of us.

Where is Xing'er?

Xing'er... Xing'er is dead.

Where is her body?

Her body was sent to the graveyard.

By who?

Master Zhan Mou.

There's one hour left.

Xing'er, wait for me.

Young Master Yue played your cards well.

You reversed the situation easily

and saved Yan Xun's life.

How admirable.

Young Master, you leave first.

Young Master.

Young Master. you are injured.

Where is she?

Where is she?

Over... over there.

She might be there.

Who are you?

A woman's body was sent here just now,

dressed in prison garb.

Where is she?

Misters,

the pestilence has broken out in city recently.

We burnt women's bodies

as soon as they were sent here.

I didn't notice

a woman's body dressed in prison garb.

What did you just say?

She has been burnt.

Young Master.

Put out the fire.

Quickly.

OK.

Hurry up.

I will

give this finger knife to Yue Qi.

You give it to Yue Qi for me.

Young Master,

I just tried it on.

The size of it

fits my finger.

Yue Qi can't wear it.

So...

thank you anyway.

I will always

remember your kindness to me.

Thank you, Young Master.

Chu.

Chu.

Chu.

Are you awake, your highness?

Where is Chu?

She has been taken away

by the staff of the Yuwen Huai.

Yuwen Huai.

Chu is in the danger.

Open the door.

I need to get out. I need to save her.

I'll be back once I save her.

It's... I...

- I... - Open the door.

Your highness, it will be a jail-breaking

if you go out like this,

and you will be condemned.

Open the door.

If the lady is alright,

but you are condemned for this,

the loss will outweigh the gain.

Open the door.

Please rest assured, I have already sent someone

to inform the Master Yue

of the Yuwen Palace.

Everything will be fine.

Your highness, while there is life,

there is hope.

His Royal Highness Yu

has visited you this morning,

and brought a doctor to treat your injury.

The princess has also sent the guy

to bring trays of delicious food to you

and wait for your awake.

In my opinion,

you just need to put with this,

and your good fortune is just around the corner.

Get out.

I really thought

you are as hard as the nether millstone.

I didn't expect

that you are the person who seeks fame and riches.

The Eyes of God has just been taken away

by the emperor,

how could you be so dispirited?

Why are you here?

Take over the Eyes of God.

Won't you be deaf to

the words from the emperor, will you?

The Eyes of God.

You have done so many things

just to get it.

It's so ridiculous.

I'm afraid that you have no idea

what the Eyes of God is.

Enough of this nonsense.

Fourth Brother, please.

Okay.

Let me show you.

I hope you won't regret.

Here is the place

where the Eyes of God get archived.

The Tower of the Eyes of God.

Since the beginning of the Eyes of God being created,

all the information from the spies

has been kept here.

Why did you show me these?

Don't you want the Eyes of God?

Here you are.

I don't want the null and void

information.

What I want is the directory of the Latent Clan,

the esoterica of the Assassination Clan,

the poison of the Troop Clan,

and the treasure of the Silver Clan.

Are these important?

Yes.

The Eyes of God has existed for many years,

and there are

so many secrets in this room.

Don't you think the value of this room?

The whole story of the Zhuxu's case is here,

happened at nine years after the late emperor ascending the throne,

People all thought

Zhuxu fell off the horse and died.

But no one knew

that he ran into the adultery

between his wife and the Prince Lu,

and then he was killed by the Prince Lu.

Now,

Zhuxu's son has held the military power.

If this information is known by somebody,

what kind of storm will be caused by this?

Eight years of the late emperor, the Yellow River burst the banks.

After that, 28 officers had got involved in it,

and 36 businessmen had got beheaded.

But in fact,

the late emperor was the one who misappropriate the money

for the river regulation construction

to bulid the Royal Pavilion for himself.

Fifteen years ago,

Weiguang had a love affair with his sister-in-law,

and killed his older brother.

But based on

the attitude of Weiguang and Wei Shuye,

we couldn't tell

that whether Wei Shuye is the nephew

or the birth son

of the Weiguang.

If Weiguang knows

the evidence is in your hand,

will he want to kill you?

What I want is the power of

controlling the world,

not these summons to death.

All the dirty secrets

of the notable families,

even the underworld factions,

can be found here.

Since you are taking over it,

are you ready to

be the enemy of the whole world

and be assassinated

at any time?

Let me show you something.

This is the self-destruction device of the Tower of the Eyes of God.

Do you know

how many times

I want to destroy it every day?

Now, it's alright. I get free.

Everything is up to you.

Once you step into this place,

you will be the people

who stay in darkness for your life.

Just like me,

you will be kept in this court

for the rest of your life,

and will never get of here.

You are lying to me.

You didn't even know what the Eyes of God is,

but you still wanted to snatch it with me.

You have no idea of

the preciousness of life.

One more thing,

is Yuwen Xi your grandfather,

or your birth father?

The answer is also in the Tower of the Eyes of God.

You are lying to me.

You are lying to me. You are lying to me.

You are lying to me.

You are lying to me.

(Sound of the house shaking)

I really appreciate older brother could stay the jail for me,

and let me get the freedom again.

(Sound of fire spitting)

Take care.

Come back.

Come back.

Yuwen Yue.

I don't want to be the scapegoat of you.

Yuwen Yue.

Yuwen Yue. Come back.

(Sound of explosion)

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Just fight the fire. Now.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Go get water. Fight the fire.

Hurry up.

Don't fight the fire.

- Just let it be. - Young Master.

Are you alright?

Come on. Fight the fire.

Hurry up.

Come on. Come on. Hurry up.

Get more water. Come on.

Go get water.

Don't fight the fire. Let it be.

Let it burn everything down.

Burn everything down.

The Tower of the Eyes of God is on fire.

Did Yuwen Yue set the fire?

It's said that Yuwen Huai initiated

the self-destruction device of the Tower of the Eyes of God

by accident,

and burnt the Tower of the Eyes of God down.

It looks like

he is really scared.

I thought

he is a courageous man.

So the Eyes of God?

Just postpone it.

Yes.

By the way,

set Yanxun free

and put him into the Oriole Courtyard.

Yes.

Step down.

Keeping Yanxun alive

will be my serious problem.

But if Yanxun dies,

the several noble families will seize the opportunity

to carve up Yanbei,

and shake my ground,

which will do greater harm.

Please, Lord.

Please.

Yanxun, listen to the decree.

Prisoner Yanxun, listen to the decree on your knees.

Lord,

the prince Yanxun has been badly injured.

So his ears might be not good to hear.

The imperial edict says Yanxun, the sinner,

is the son of the Yanbei traitor, Yan Shicheng.

In consideration of he is young and has committed minor offense,

he will be under the house arrest in the Oriole Courtyard from now on.

I hope he will turn over a new leaf

and serve the country.

When he finishes his prison term in three years,

he will go back to Yanbei and succeed to the throne.

By the emperor himself.

The Oriole Courtyard

Royal highness.

How many people are outside?

There are 80 visible guards outside,

and more hidden ones.

They have surrounded

the Oriole Courtyard

all tight.

On the way here,

most of the pedestrians

are male

and they all have martial art

or employed by the court.

There are only a few shops.

However, customers are absent minded.

The shopkeepers never smile.

It looks like they have bought

all residential areas and shops

around here.

There is no one to govern Yanbei.

Those rich lords all want to take control over it.

As long as Your Highness is alive, they don’t have a valid reason to invade.

If Your Highness is dead,

they can invade

and carve Yanbei like a pie.

I think

no one wants Your Highness

to live for three years.

The attitude of His Majesty is uncertain.

He hasn’t decided whether

to kill you or not.

However, when he makes the decision

and gives the imperial decreed to pardon you,

it won’t be that easy for them

to kill you.

Besides, it will be difficult for them to find a reason to do so.

The late Duke was tricked

and left Yanbei in a brash way. Then he was killed.

However, it doesn’t affect your family’s influence over Yanbei.

We still have our own army.

All people there are loyal to Your Highness.

Once our people arrive,

Your Highness will be safer.

We know this.

So do they.

Now is their best chance

to kill you.

The problem is who the first one will be.

It doesn’t matter

who the first one will be.

If they come, just kill them.

You are still up.

This place is way to big

for just three of us.

Look likes His Majesty spent a fortune

in order to imprison us without being known.

Chu.

How did you escape

from Yuwen Huai?

Miss Yu saved me.

I was taken by Yuwen Huai

to the prison holding guilty servants.

In order to not get involved,

Yuwen Yue tried to kill me

before Yuwen Huai.

(Sound of shooting a needle)

(Sound of falling down)

However, he didn’t know

I was still alive.

When they were about to cremate me,

Miss Yu arrived

and saved me.

Yuwen Yue.

Young Master.

You may excuse yourself.

Yes, sir.

Cai Wei, why are you here?

Did something happen to

Her Highness?

No.

Young Master Wei,

Her Highness has a message for you.

Do tell.

It’s about Prince Yan Xun.

Prince Yan Xun

is in a difficult situation right now.

Her Highness is worried about him.

Her Highness

ordered me to ask you for a favour.

She hopes you can check upon Prince Yan Xun.

If something happens,

please inform us as soon as possible.

The Imperial concubine won’t be happy

if Her Highness gets involved in this.

That’s why I came to you for help.

Her Highness said

You definitely will help.

Even if

I tell Her Highness certain things,

Her Highness won’t be able to stop it.

Besides, Her Highness is at court

and heavily guarded.

I am afraid

when the information reaches her,

it is too late already.

Her Highness also said

if you can’t

inform us in time,

just go to the Green Hills Court

and ask for Young Master Yue.

Yuwen Yue?

That’s right. Her Highness said

when it comes to Prince Yan Xun,

Young Master is still trust worthy.

I have decided

to sleep on the floor.

I shall sleep on the floor.

You sleep in bed.

No.

Why not?

You are…

What?

A Prince?

I am just a dead man walking.

It’s a bless that

I have some place to sleep.

How about this?

We can’t sleep together

anyway.

I shall stay awake for the first half night.

You can get up during the rest of the night.

Whoever is awake can stay here.

Chu.

Don’t argue with me.

Otherwise, neither of us can get some sleep.

You should go to bed now.

When you wake up, I can have some rest.

I fell asleep.

Chu.

You can get some rest now.

(OK.)

Yan Xun.

(Yeah.)

We survived.

We survived together.

Young Master, something is going on at the Red Hills Court.

How many people are there?

About ten people.

Each one of them has sophisticated martial art.

Stop them.

Can we get involved

directly?

What are you afraid of?

Even if we kill them all,

will the man behind man make a sound?

Yes, sir.
