Episode Thirty-five

The distribution is like this for now

Mr.Wu is still working on

gathering the helpers

and spending

There may be thirty percent more of them

Disorder with regulation at the same time

The transport junction in the east and west sides

are all controlled

Thank you for you arrange

Thank you for your praise

The kerosene is not common goods

We need to be cautious

Don't worry

We have a kerosene shop

under our name

Enough to hide our goal

Good

Go with your bossiness

The royal family, grand families and official department

are linked together

The situation is too chaotic

Our way out of Chang'an won't be easy

Now everything is ready

Once the time comes,

the whole plan will be set off

The righteous from Yan

won't ever hesitate

even if sending you out with their blood

Our only hope is that you can leave Chang'an secretly

and reach Yan in safety

You seems delicate after these few days

I can't sleep

after this tragedy of our family

What' done is done

I hope you

care for yourself

I lost my mother in childhood

You raised me up

You are my birth mother for me

Minister Wei

is my real uncle

That's why the majesty ordered Yuwen Yue

to hide the fact from me

If I had known this earlier

it may not have ended

like that

It is himself to blame

Can't blame the others

Luckily, Yuwen Yue saved Ye'er

Or the blood of our Wei family

could have vanished

I am happy that you don't blame me

I heard that the prince of Liang, Xiao Ce

is coming these days

The majesty is intended to

marry Chun'er to him

Yes

I am also worrying about this

I heard that there is no good words about him

He has numerous concubine

If Chun'er really marries him

I worry that she will be hurt

I will never marry Chun'er

to people in the Great Liang

Do you have any idea?

I do got one

I call you here today

for your advice

Please

I want her engaged in advance

Mother

do you have any choice in your mind?

Hold it tight

Princess, be careful with your hand

My mother said that

a girl should learn more

Look, how' this?

Our princess surely is

ingenuity

So you are

Brother

Chun'er

Brother,Why are you so unoccupied today?

Do you come to meet my mother?

Yes

But you seldom come to

see me

That's because you are too busy

I don't want to bother you

I have nothing to be busy with

I only take a walk

in the yard

or do some sewing everyday

Chun'er, I promise you

You will be busy soon

Don't worry about that

Busy? What for?

For your marriage

Chun'er, you are old enough

to get married

Brother, you are laughing at me

I am not laughing

Everyone should get married at the proper age

It is natural

And

my son have already learned to walk

when I am at your age

But who will like me?

Who will marry me?

As beautiful

as you are

must be plenty of people

like you

Brother, did my mother

talk to you about this?

is there any choice?

Tell me secretly

Chun'er, let your mother

tell you in person

But I promise you

this man is someone you know well

and someone outstanding

You will be satisfied

Is everything fine

for A'chu in the Xiaoqi Camp?

Pretty well

The Prince Xiang sent her to

the Xiuli Army

Those people are

just coward

Won't be hard for A'chu

to deal with them

The Xiuli Army?

Who lead them

after the death of Liu Ziye?

The chief marshal is Xue Zhileng

the son of the vise marshal

in the Chengfang Camp, Xue Lu

I've heard

he bullied them a lot

The original general of the camp

He Xiao

is the vise chief now

He is their core

Let's go to see her

What are you looking at?

Nothing

Waiting for someone?

I thought

you were an ice cube

Never imagined you would

have someone in your heart

I am full

Time to leave

Are you losing temper?

Shouldn't you behave as a general?

You

love gossiping so much

Shouldn't you behave as a prince?

The sons from royal family are also human

We have emotions

To tell the truth, this girl is good

Brave and wise

No weaker than men when fighting

Such girl like this

really is precious

Except that her love isn't

for you

That year at Jiuyou with Yan Xun

in desperation

such girl could follow him

and protect him from the others

Three years as prisoner

didn't separate them apart

Can you really compare with that?

However beautiful the flower is

it's useless when it doesn't belong to you

I am fine just watching

Watching?

Watching her blooming

in someone else's yard?

Yuwen Yue,with your identity and status,

is it worthy to condescend yourself

for a girl like that?

Condescend?

Don't think so

I am full. Please help yourself

Why are you here?

Someone else may see you

I just want to see you

Are you all right in the troops?

What? Unwelcome?

Didn't I send you a letter?

Didn't receive?

I am still worried only with the words

I want to see you in person

How is your sleep? How do you feel with the food?

Anyone bullies you?

Bully me?

When have I ever been bullied?

Pretty good for me

not to bully the others

You seem pretty well

being so active

What's this? For me?

Makeup?

I never use things like this

Which girl doesn't like

make up?

And

this is not cosmetic. It's a gel

It's getting cold now

Your hands and feet may get frozen

Smear this on

It may protect you from frostbite

Okay

I can do it myself

Be accurate and stabilized when drawing the bow

Keep your shoulder horizontal

Keep stabilized

Shoot decisively

Do not aim for a second time

Do not hesitate

Hold the standard pose and generate power on the horizontal direction

You will hit the target if you use the bow in the right way

I'll make you an example

Good. Good. Good.

Good

Awesome

General Yuwen. General Yuwen

General Yuwen. General Yuwen

Who shot the arrows?

Me

Bow

Good. Good

Good. Good. Good

General Yuwen is great

Awesome

Great

You are skilled at archery

Yours archery

is better

Of course I know it

Where is He Xiao?

He went to the Bing Department

Today is the salary day

I noticed your bows are

aged

Find someone later on

to take my decreed

and claim some new ones

Yes

Let her do it

Head Chu, hurry up

Right, hurry

Hurry, go

Hurry up

Didn't you said to give me the decreed?

Write

How can I write if you don't rub the ink stick

You

I remember last time at the Green Hill

You said

it was the last time you served me

Times have changed

Just a few days passed,

and we meet again

What?

My hand is sore. I can't continue

Have you costumed to life

in the army camp?

None of you business

Is that your attitude

talking with your superior?

The superior should have said

what he ought to say

A superior won't be troublesome

like you and

order his people to rub the ink stick

You must never lived

in the camp

If a superior wants to be troublesome,

he will find do many methods

Rubbing ink is too simple for that

Write

Enough for you to write a book

By the way, that Xue Zhileng

is the son of Xue Lu

Xue Lu is the vice chief of the Chengfang Camp

Be far from him,

if nothing serious happens

A female in the camp

must be inconvenient

Once there is a chance,

I will send you to another place

So lay low

Do not always think about

do something for Yan Xun

You should know

It's my camp here

Everything you do

is in my sight

Why do you help me?

What are you talking about?

It's not just luck that

I came to the Xiuli Camp

Smart

I am long dead

if I am a fool

Since you are so smart,

try not get yourself involved

I have helped you settle down

everything about Wei Guang

Remember, once and only

What your master want is too huge

You may burn yourself helping him

Then should we just wait for death?

There are different ways

to achieve the goal

What happened is lying there on the surface

There may be a chance to survive

if you go ahead

If you stop your step

or wait at your place

the only end

will be death

Maybe you can't survive

even if you step ahead

I won't let you

win

How could we know without trying?

I am telling you not to be too stubborn

This is not stubborn. This is firm

Princess

Aunt Wenshan

My mother call me here?

Yes, your highness

Please come inside

The guest invited has already been here

We are waiting for you to have dinner

Who else was invited?

Don't you forget, princess?

A few days ago the concubine

has told you to find you

a perfect husband

Okay, please come inside

Yuwen Yue!

Princess

Mother

Why is the ice cube here?

Of course he was invited by me

Sit down

Mother, I am not hungry now

Please have the meal

I shall leave first

Chun'er

Don't be so capricious

These are

your favorite dishes

That depends on who I eat with

Your highness, I have something else to do

I shall leave now

Sit down, you both

Is it so hard to have dinner with me?

Yes

This chrysanthemum wine is essential on the Double Ninth festival

The festival will come in a few days

I still remember this jar of wine

is sent by the majesty of Liang last year

It is made by mashed dried petal of

white chrysanthemum

How do you like the taste?

Delicious

I don't know

The majesty of the Great Liang was humorous

He added a poem

when sending us the wine

Take bamboo basket to collect the dewdrop of the chrysanthemum

The drops on the flower early in the morning wet their dresses

Mother

I want to make a toast for your prolonging life

To longevity

and good luck

Make a toast for General Yuwen as well

Hurry

Master Yue

Let me make a toast for you as well

Thank you, your highness

I am sorry

My hands slip

Seems like we cannot

have the drink

We really don't have the luck together

I have a headache.

Help yourselves.

Take care, Imperial Concubine.

Take care, Mother.

Have some rest, Mother.

What do you think, Icy Man?

Thank me for

letting you withdraw from this conversation earlier.

I am telling you.

There is no chance that I will like you.

Thank you very much.

What do you mean?

Although I will

never like you,

there is no need for you

to be so happy about it.

How should I react?

I am in great pain that

beautiful Princess don't

like me.

It is too bad.

It is bad.

Icy Man, I just find out today

that you are a little cute.

Cheers.

You don't need to see me off, Princess.

I am in good mood today.

It doesn't matter.

Since than

Princess don't want to get involved with me,

then you'd better not

do things that cause misunderstanding to Imperial Concubine.

Especially something as following me around

for the sake of going out of the palace

If Imperial Concubine thinks that

we get along well,

she will beg for His Majesty to grant our marrige.

Then we will be in trouble.

You are as smart as a fox,

who can guess

everything.

Fine. You go.

without your help.

I can go out of the palace

You are back.

How's it going?

Have you seen Chun'er?

How do you know?

I don't know.

You and Imperial Concubine make a collusion

to make a match between me and Chun'er.

Yes.

It is me.

None of your business.

What? You don't like her?

Chun'er is smart, outgoing,

and of noble birth.

Who don't you like her?

No reason. I'm unworthy of her.

The reason is Chu Qiao.

Yuwen Yue,

let alone

whether she is fond of you,

even if she is willing to be with you,

you two are not of equal social rank.

You are Official Zhuguo's son,

legitimate grandson of the elder branch in Yuwen Household.

How is it possible that your family allows you

to marry a slave girl?

None of your business.

Even if you can persuade your father,

you should remember

her status.

She lives in the Oriole Courtyard

with Yan Xun

for three years.

What should happen

had happened.

A girl like this

is not worthy of

your love.

Stop.

To tell you the truth,

Yan Xun has to die.

I won't allow Yan Xun

leaving here alive.

If she gets too involved in it,

she will not end up well.

At that time, His Majesty wanted to kill Duke Dingbei.

You were the only one

who wrote to object it.

It is different now.

Duke Dingbei was a Great Officer.

It was His Majesty's suspision

that made him kill Duke Dingbei.

I would never consent.

However, Yan Xun

is full of hatred and rage.

If he succeeds in

leaving Chang'an,

then a war is about to start,

which will make people in north suffer.

As a prince and general,

I will never allow it

to happen.

Yuwen Yue,

don't forget who you are.

The end of three years is coming.

We don't have

much time left.

So we must make

all the preparations.

A small leak

will sink a great ship.

Thus we need to prepare

for everything that may happen.

We have put up a plucky defense

on Rosefinch Street,

and planted people in different ministries in Chang'an.

It should be hard to breach.

If we can't go out of the gate,

then all our plans

will be meaningless.

So, we can only fish in troubled waters.

We can create

some disturbances then,

and draw the attention

of the guards who defend the city walls.

Then we seize the opportunity to disguise ourselves and leave the city.

I am afraid it will have to do.

His Majesty command me to lead the troops

to greet prince of Liang State.

Everybody prepares for it

and go with me.

Your Highness,

it's not an easy job.

I hear that

this prince

doesn't touch anything

that has been touched by men

since he was young.

To raise this weirdo,

his poor father

consumes too much energy.

Even the rice,

vegetables and fruit

that he eats every day

are planted by young girls

on the earth that is

especially set aside in palaces,

thus he will eat.

There's one month riding

between Jiankang and Chang'an.

Even if one takes the carriage,

it won't be longer than two months.

However, this prince prepared

for four months

before he actually set off.

And there is still no sign of him.

It must be rumour.

After all, he is a prince.

He won't be that ridiculous.

The more ridiculous is still to come.

Princes in Wei State,

like Your Highness,

mostly have some experience in defending the frontier.

They follow the troops

to meadow, wasteland,

river and mountain stream,

nearly everywhere.

But this prince has to

build a bridge before crossing the river,

open up wasteland before going there.

He don't travel in the mountains or deserts.

He don't travel to places which are far from cities.

Your Highness,

he is a hot potato

and is hard to please.

Your Highness,

message came that

the prince got a cold

for kicking the quilt at night,

and he started backtracking.

This sissy prince.

Never mind.

Now that we get the sign of him,

we have to greet him anyhow.

He is unwilling to see Your Highness.

He said that Your Highness just returned from the frontier

thus having a killing aura,

which will make him worse.

In addition,

these words were passed on

by his maids.

This weirdo,

is a man that

doesn't speak to men.

How do we deal with it?

Sister Fu, there is someone in front of us.

Who is it?

Man or woman?

Four men and one woman.

Is she pretty?

How old is she?

So-so.

Seventeen, eighteen.

Not much prettier than me.

Let alone Sister E, Sister Fu

and Sister Qing.

I'm telling you.

Master says that someone

who can make you say these

must be gorgeous.

Drop those men

and keep the girl.

Prince wants to inquire her.

You hear it?

Men can leave, the girl stays here.

Can't you hear my words?

Stupid.

There is no royal brand on your waist

which means that you are not noble.

Judging from your status,

you should feel grateful to my attitude.

And you men can leave.

You saucy little miss!

You bastard.

Big deal.

Just a little soldier.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Let's go.

You...

are such a cruel girl.

Chu Qiao, what are you doing?

Prince.

Prince. Prince. Prince.

Prince. Are you alright?

Prince. Prince.

Your Highness,

I apologize for my subordinate's mistake.

Are you crazy?

How dare you beat Prince?

You bold girl.

She is in great trouble.

Your Royal Highness Xiang,

please heavily penalise her.

Your Highness.

Evil and rude.

Are you done with it?

If you finish, please leave.

You.

Don't offend His Highness!

We won't let it go

about this incidence.

We must send emissary to Chang'an

to look into it.

As to this woman,

if Your Highness don't give her to us,

we can do nothing about it.

Please take her into custody

for us.

And we'll deal with her later.

Prince.

Prince, take care.

Take care.

Slowly. Slowly.

Protect Prince.

If anything goes wrong,

I will punish you by military law.

Yes.

Go back.

Yes.

Your Highness,

I know that I have done something bad.

Please punish me.

I know that I have brought big trouble.

And there is no way to correct it.

This is my fault.

It doesn't concern other people.

Good girl.

Well-done. Well-done.

We should have

taught Xiao Ce a lesson.

What prince of Liang State?

Like a woman.

Dressed in colorful clothes.

I'm sick watching him.

With so many defects,

he should be killed.

Well done.

If they wants to harm you,

we will deal with them first.

Your Highness, although no warned, no fault.

However,

after all,

I beat the prince of Liang State.

Let alone he is coming to make peace with us through marrige.

Anyway,

I should apologize to him.

Did you beat him? On where?

I didn't see it.

Did you see it?

No.

We didn't see it.

But you are quite stupid.

If you want to beat him,

you should beat him

at places where no one is around.

Yes.

His Highness and we have discussed it.

As long as he sets off,

we will find a place with few people,

put a bag on him and beat him.

To our surprise,

you are quicker than us.

In fact,

we had been there for a long time.

However, we didn't show up.

Feel safe.

You are one of us now.

And you do it to protect your subordinate.

I won't let them hurt you.

Take my command,

no one is allowed to

leave Xiaoqi Camp.

If the secret oozs out,

I will show no mercy.

Yes.

Seventh Brother.

I was annoyed to death.

That Xiao Ce

is a big trouble.

I am a prince after all.

What am I compared with him?

I was annoyed to death.

He told my at late night

that the room was stuffy

and he was not comfortable.

Fine.

I thought of every possible way

to make it airy.

Did you know

what he say after that?

He said that

he was cold.

In the morning, he got up

and said that the maids were ugly.

I said, well, they were not as pretty as yours.

And I

found some

really pretty maids.

He said that

they couldn't hum verses.

He was so picky

about every meal.

He only drank fresh tea that was picked within three days.

You know what the funniest is?

Under the shoes of the guards,

there are no cotton shoe-pad.

He said it was too noisy.

Really, all kinds of stuff.

Did he mention that

Chu Qiao beat him?

Chu beat him?

No wonder that

there is bruise on his face.

Good. Very good.

He didn't say a word to you?

Not a word.

If I were him, I wouldn't say it either.

A man

was beat by a little girl.

How can he have the nerve to mention it?

I used to think that

he is good as disguising himself.

I have no idea that

he is just a mad man.

How unbelievable.

You smell something?

What?

That mad man's smell.

Is he coming again?

He is coming again.

How about this? Does it smell good?

Do you think

my dress is gorgeous today?

Great. Wonderful.

Hasn't she come yet?

Couldn't you have told her?

She will be here soon.

Soon?

Your highness.

(Sound of Screaming)

You are so rude.

It's me.

Don't you know me?

The... the Crown Prince?

How dare you?

Get off your hands.

Don't you see what place it is?

Why are you yelling?

Do you know who she is?

She is the imperial guard I chose.

Your highness.

Don't you suffer enough beating?

I'm very satisfied with her.

Lady, what's your name?

Do you

want to be my personal bodyguard?

Seventh Brother, is there something wrong with that guy?

It's hard to tell.

The one like him

is the Crown Prince of Liang State.

Let's just wait to see.

No, Seventh Brother,

I'm just afraid Chu will suffer losses if let it be like this.

Your highness.

I have offended you that day,

I hope

you won't think of my mistake

and won't blame on me.

It turns out that your name is Chu Qiao.

How about I call you Qiao'er?

Or Xiao Qiao?

I'm low and degrading,

so my humble name is not worth for your highness...

I think Qiao Qiao is the best one for you.

It sounds more intimate.

Your highness, what on earth do you want?

You'd better talk straight.

What relatives do you have in your family?

Are your parents still alive?

Do you have any brohters or sisters?

Which month were you born in?

How old are you?

I was born in July,

and I'm 21-years old.

I'm old enough to get married.

Your highness.

If because

what I did to offend Your highness

that day,

you acted like this today,

then I would like take the punishment.

By the way,

where is your ancestral home?

In my opinion, you are so pretty,

and your skin is so supple,

you are not like the people of Wei State

but like the woman of our Liang State.

Your highness.

Could we talk as normally?

Are you mad?

You look so cute even you are mad.

I really have good taste.

(Sound of laughing)

Your highness.

What makes you have a crush on me?

Everything.

I like everything of you.

Or,

what do you just want to use me to do?

If you want to kill me,

you can find many reasons.

I'm just a little

arrow coach of the Qiaoqi Camp,

and have no value in use.

Qiao Qiao.

I fall in love with you at first sight.

I will be hurt

if you mistake me like this.

Qiao Qiao, my hands are so cold.

Could you warm them for me?

(Sound of Screaming)

Your highness. Your highness. Your highness.

Your highness. Your highness.

- Your highness. - Your highness.

- Are you alright, Your highness? - Your highness.

- Are you alright, Your highness? - Your highness.

Are you alright, Your highness?

I'm fine.

Fine.

I'm fine.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm really fine.

I'm really fine.

- That's great. - It's fine.

This carriage marches more slowly than people walk.

The Crown Prince could still fly out of it even it's so steady.

It's amazing.

Chu is amazing.

Let's go.

Qiao Qiao.

You are extremely cruel and merciless.

You just treat the person you are supposed to protect like this.

There's differences between man and woman, please behave, Your highness.

Qiao Qiao.

Would you apply ointment for me?

It's for your own good.

Just think about

if someone finds out that I'm injured,

it will bring trouble on you.

This medicine

is very good for subsiding swelling and resolving stagnation.

It will take effect once being applied.

Do you really make the decision?

Do you really want me to apply ointment for you?
