Episode Twenty-eight

(Sound of running)

(Sound of fighting)

Take the corpses. Let’s go.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

(Intense background music)

Yuwen Huai sent those people?

Yes.

That’s correct.

I heard this from the Young Master of the second branch.

He said they never made it to the Oriole Courtyard

and were killed.

Look likes

there is no need to alarm Her Highness.

Her Highness has nothing to worry about.

Even though Yuwen Yue looks cold-hearted,

he pretended to betray Yan Xun.

In fact, he cared about him a lot.

(Sighs)

Good. At lease there is someone

to do what I can’t do myself.

I hope

he is braver than me.

Young Master.

You may excuse yourself.

Yes, sir.

Your Highness.

Has the water been tested?

Didn’t we test the water

from the well yesterday?

(Whistling)

From now on, the food need to

be tested every day.

I will catch some mouse.

After the mice eat the food,

don’t eat the food immediately.

Some poisons work fast.

Others take time.

We need to wait for at least two days.

If the mice are fine,

we can eat that food then.

It also works for the water.

However, it’s too hot

to keep any food for two days.

It’s better to eat food which are out of date, rather than dying.

(Sound of the crowd)

His Highness

is safe for now.

You have finished your responsibilities.

The four of you can go back

to Yanbei and find Mr. Wu.

If you prefer,

I can give you some money

or help you do some

small business.

The four of you are quite smart.

You can make a living out of this.

We don’t want that.

We’d like to follow you.

Are you sure?

(Yes.)

Otherwise, we won’t tell you

to come here today.

If you choose to follow me,

from now on,

you are putting your lives in danger.

I know.

We are all from Yanbei.

When Yanbei was invaded,

all of our families were killed.

We are homeless.

We want to take a revenge in the future.

That’s why we chose to

follow you in the first place.

So

you’d like to follow me?

Yes. Follow you

and His Highness.

I know His Highness

will get up on his feet

after going through this horror.

All our enemies

are in Chang’an.

Don’t you afraid

be killed?

If it is for Yanbei,

we are glad

to take that risk.

Besides,

who knows what will happen in the future?

Maybe we have the chance to kill the Emperor of the Wei State.

His Highness will reward

us with titles in Yanbei.

Miss Yu,

please have us.

We will try our best

to learn.

We won’t be a burden to you.

I am not even sure whether I am helping you

or putting you in danger.

Is that a Yes?

Since we are all putting our lives at risk,

we must horn our skills.

If you want to follow me,

you must obey my orders.

Otherwise, you might die.

We will. We will.

We will.

Me too.

You are all here.

Then you heard

what we discussed.

(Yeah)

From now on,

we shall go through thick and thin together.

- OK. - OK.

(Sound of opening the window)

(Sound of running)

(Sound of fighting)

(Sound of running)

Prince Yan Xun,

Any weapon is not allowed

at the Oriole Courtyard.

If it is discovered, you are committing a felony.

We are just doing our jobs.

Please understand.

(Sound of flying)

(Sound of dropping swords)

Thank you for your cooperation

We are good

Don't know if anyone else

will come tonight

I don't know, you sleep first

Then remember to wake me up

Princess

only one of the people

that went to test Chu Qiao came back

They said that the little maid of Yan Xun

was skilled at fighting and killing

But her gongfu is of Yuwen style

instead of unorthodox styles

Are you saying her move came Yuwen family?

Shall we test her again?

No need

Prince Yan Xun

You seems as usual after all these things

Tell me if you need anything

And this is...

My maid

Only one maid?

There's another one

Her face was cut yesterday

by the assassins

She is resting in the room now

The security of Chang'an

has been worse and worse

I'll tell the government

and ask them to check it out asap

Don't worry about this

No need

They are all killed by me

Your gongfu really is awesome

Surely you don't take them seriously

No need to introduce, right?

The second master of Wei family

Old friends

What are you doing here?

My guards said that

you hid weapons in this yard

I come here to have a check

Check?

What? Any comment？

When we got in here

we have already been checked

Then why can't we

check you again

I doubt that they were too careless

checking you

So I want to check in person

Search the yard

Wait

Speaking so loud

Are you threatening me?

You really think you are

the prince as before

I'm making it clear now

The majesty may release you from death

I'm not forgiving you disobeying the rules

Prince

If they want to search, let them

We are under their charge now

We can't refuse

You can see the situation

pretty clearly as a maid

Prince, be smart

and suffer less

Search the place

That way

Yes

This way

Yes

Hurry up

What happened to this maid?

You'll know it

if you were

cut on the face

Master, nothing special

Since you found nothing

Masters, please go back

Wait, haven't check the wound yet

Master Wei,

isn't that unnecessary?

That is up to me

The maid of our master can't

be checked just by anyone

Prince

The head of Dinbei

has been cut

What kind of prince he is?

Wei Shuyou

You are talking too much

So what?

You are no longer who you are

What can you do to me?

OK, let's serve

the maid of prince

Let your maid

take off the bandit on her face

Hurry up

Haven't heard the words of master Yuwen?

Stop

Princess

Wei Shuyou

How great you are

Is here still Yinge Yard

Or did I go to the wrong place

It's your backyard of Wei family

Princess

Master Wei just acted by rules

Rules?

Follow which rule?

Acted what?

My father send you here

to protect brother Yan Xun

to guard the Yingge

Yard

Which means, you two

are the servants

Yan Xun is the master

here

Servants search the master?

Who you think you are?

Listen to me carefully

From now on, the master here

is my brother Yan Xun

No matter whose order you take,

no matter what you think,

put them all aside

If I find out

you disobey my words

in private

or even

play tricks

I am telling you

your master can't

save you

Leave if you understand

Yes

Brother Yan Xun, are you all right?

I'm fine. Thank you, your highness

Then let's get in the house

Your visit should be warmly welcome

But the yard here is a little messed up

Get away

I am not here for you

Get away

Please don't stay here

Your dress may get dirty

Can't you understand what I said?

I'm telling you to get away

Please forgive me for my reckless,

prince Yan Xun's family has been executed

Please don't stand on his side

Not on his side?

Then you want me to

stand on your side?

Don't think I don't

know your little tricks

I hate you scoundrel-realizing-ambition

look the most

Maybe my father is angry

about brother Yan Xun for now,

he is so much better then you

Don't you flattering me any more

You are really annoying

Caiwei

Yes

Send away

the unrelated people

Master Yuwen, please

Miss A'chu

Thank you about that

The spies of those grand families

has crowded the Yange Yard

Wei Shuhuai and Yuwen You

will take every chance to take our master down

If they know you are alive

not only you'll be punished

but they will get a new weakness of the prince

Let us keep alert

(Clear the throat)

Brother Yan Xun

Will you keep silence

if I

don't talk to you?

What do you want me to say?

Anything you like

Tell stories or jokes

or something

in our childhood

Something makes us

happy

My parents are dead

So are my sisters and brother

The whole Yan family are slaughtered

I cannot bury their body

Cannot mourn them

Cannot even looked

too sorrow

And meanwhile

I need to joking

with you, princess

You want stories?

I am sorry, brother Yan Xun

I was not on purpose

I wanted you

to be happier

Chun'er

We cannot go back

The past Yan Xun is dead

The Yan Xun today

may not survive for long

We grow up together since the childhood

I treat you as my sister since I was a child

So now

when there is still some kindness in my heart

when I still care about

what we had

leave me away

as far as possible

Do not ruin yourself

(Cough)

I was choked

Brother Yan Xun

I don't know what you atr talking about

I don't understand

Yes, you do understand

I am sorry, brother Yan Xun

I know my father

killed your whole family

although they all said

your father is traitor

But I know it is my father

to blame

Every time I see you

you are extremely heartbroken

And now I feel like

I don't know you any more

I am really sorry

and really guilty

But

But, think, brother Yan Xun

You have o family now

No father

All you have is Chun'er

I will protect you

I will never ever

leave you alone

I won't let bad guys like Yuwen Huai

hurt you

Right?

Let us put these aside

Caiwei

Bring me the cakes I

prepared for brother Yan Xun

Yes

Brother Yan Xun

I brought you

your favorite dessert

See?

Look. These are

nuts pies

This one, this is Ziteng cake

And your favorite preserved fruit

Have a look

Which one do you want to eat first?

How about Ziteng cake?

Have a taste

Open your mouth

Take a bite

Come on

How do you like it? Tasre good?

Have some more

Then change another one

You've tasted it

So how about the persevered fruit?

Just have a little bit more

From the princess?

Throw it away

Why throw it?

She won't

poison you any way

Yan Xun?

Yan Xun, are you okay?

What's wrong, Yan Xun?

Yan Xun

Yan Xun

Prince

What happened?

The princess poisoned him?

How could she?

She is not smart enough

Maybe some one

used her name to do it

The poison is called Sanzubie

It will attack your body

by hurting your stomach

Is there any cure

I am afraid, we have to use poison to defend poison

We need the drug now,

Chansu

The liquid on the skin of

toxic frogs

But it is rarerly found

in common drug stores

Then use the needle

to slow down its spreading

I go find the drug

Prince

Tongde Drug Store

Sorry to interrupt, shop keeper

Do you have Chansu

No

Do you have Chansu, shopkeeper?

Chansu?

That is the most valuable treasure of our shop

Pretty expensive

Do you have enough money?

Yes

How much do you have? I'll take all

All?

Arrogant!

Ten Liang of gold for one Qian of drug

Can you afford?

Ten Liang of gold for one Qian of drug

Shopkeeper it is used to save lives

Dose the high price fit?

High?

Do you know we need a hundred frogs

to make one Qian of drug?

And this drug is used for saving lives in urgency

Only our shop

owns it

The rare is expensive

I can tell you are from grand families

Go tell your master

Exchange money for life

Don't be stingy on your life

Money is useless

if he

lost his life

Then how about you?

You want money or life?

Life

Is the money enough?

Enough, enough, enough

Then give me all your

Chansu

Cut the crap

Okay

Who are you to break into the Oriole Courtyard?

It's you.

Cheeky girl.

Why did you

sneak out at night?

You dummy up?

We'll see.

Beat her.

You wanna talk?

Out with it.

Out with it.

Yan Xun.

You wake.

Chu.

What happened to you?

Nothing.

Lie down, don't sit up.

What happened?

I bought medicine for you earlier.

The guards caught me

and beat me. It's nothing.

Beat you?

And you just let them beat you?

I am your house slave

right now.

Also, the impact of the Wei Shuyou incident hasn't wore off.

I can't make a blunder at this moment.

Don't worry about me.

After you recover,

we'll teach them a lesson.

Big deal. We can go back

and beat them up in several days.

I'm fine.

Here.

Here.

The dishes today taste good.

In a couple of days, the weather will be cool.

Food

will stay fresh for longer time.

There's some rope in the kitchen.

I will make a basket later.

After the dishes are checked every day,

I'll use the basket

to put them in the well

where the temperature is lower.

Food can stay fresh for at least two days.

Sounds good.

We can't go on like this.

It's impossible to keep cautious forever.

Our energy is limited.

Moreover, there are several groups of people

who want to kill me.

At this rate,

they could kill us sooner or later.

What do you think, Prince?

The point is, what does His Majesty want?

Naturally, he wants me dead.

However, he has found out recently that

if I were dead,

he would face the situation in which

different households would

carve Yanbei up.

The whole Yanbei

would be parcelled out among them.

Therefore, he spares my life for the time being.

So,

if His Majesty knows that

so many people want to kill you,

what will he do?

Naturally, he will

rack his brains to protect Prince

like he did when he wanted to kill Prince.

Then we will try to let him know.

Here.

What? Are you still depressed

because of Princess' reproach?

I daren't to talk about Princess.

Her temper

is always like that.

Young Master.

Shuye, you practiced archery again.

I just understand that

a slow sparrow should make an early start

is a false statement.

No matter how I practice archery,

I can't compare to you.

Shuyou, why are you still sniffing Wushi Powder?

I warned you for many times.

You mustn't resort to this kind of stuff.

If things go on like this,

you will be dispirited

and thus ruin your future.

Moreover,

if uncle knows...

Your uncle is my father.

I am a legitimate son of Wei Household.

Unlike you,

I don't need to endeavor to

prove myself in front of him.

You...

Cousin, mind your own business.

Read more and practice more.

Here.

Shuyou,

do you know why His Majesty gives orders

to prohibit households from contacting with Yan Xun?

My father told me about

some balance stuff...

Stop people from gossiping.

But His Majesty has his own difficulties.

Difficulties?

Yes.

It is not appropriate for him to give orders directly

to kill Yan Xun.

We should

exclude difficulties for him.

As long as we get rid of Yan Xun,

removing the source of the trouble,

His Majesty will surely be pleased.

Sounds good.

Shuyou,

you are a legitimate son

because of your mother's noble origins.

But I...

am a concubine's child.

In manpower, wealth

or other powers,

you are all

superior to Wei Shuye.

However, are you one of

Top 5 Handsome of Chang'an?

Who are you?

Nobody knows you.

Young Master Huai, I have some business to attend to.

I'll leave first.

Young Master Wei.

Young Master, your trick of murdering with a borrowed knife

is brilliant.

It seems that His Majesty has made up his mind

to keep Yan Xun,

and use Yan Xun to keep Yanbei.

And I

will put Wei Shuyou

in the position of the Oriole Courtyard,

where he has chance to murder.

Even if he fails to kill Yan Xun,

Wei Household is to blame for his trouble.

Brilliant!

Let someone follow Wei Shuyou

and lend him a hand

when needed.

Yes.

Let's go.

Young Master,

something happens in the Red Hills Court.

Zhu Siliu brings some people

and head for the Oriole Courtyard.

Let's go.

What do you think?

Will someone come tonight?

They'd better come.

I'm trying to find someone

to blow off steam.

Wei Shuyou.

You bastard.

You are unqualified to call my name.

You'd better fold your hands for capture.

Then I will not destroy your dead body.
