Episode Thirty-six

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?

(Sound of Screaming)

He deserves it.

It's so comfortable.

It's so comfortable.

It's so... it's so comfortable.

You just feign madness and act like an idiot,

and use the cynical acts

to protect yourself, do you?

You are right.

Actually, I'm wise and resolute

and have a mind crammed with knowledge.

How about this? Do you admire me?

How could I say it?

If someone often plays dumb,

in the long time,

he will become the true dumb.

Qiao Qiao, as a woman

it's better to be gentle and adorable.

Why are you so aggressive?

I have already got myself controlled.

What would happend if you hadn't?

You could try it.

Welcome, Your highness.

His Majesty is in the Main Hall.

Qiao Qiao, come on.

Let me help you.

It's not necessary, Your highness.

I will walk on my own.

Qiao Qiao, do you think

my eyes are much better?

I told you the medicine is very good,

it's really different.

Let's go.

Let me bring you to see something more.

Let's go.

Your highness, please.

Okay, it's fine. You just follow me.

Qiao Qiao, is this how

your Wei State welcome

the guest coming all the way?

The beautiful spectacles

with the branches of flowers sway

really go well with your highness.

There is a beauty just like refreshing breeze,

when I meet her by chance, I will walk with her hand in hand.

You just take a look at them.

They all look vulgar and cheesy.

How could they compare with Qiao Qiao?

Your highness,

your eyes are just getting better.

Let's go.

I'm the Crown Prince of Liang State, Xiao Ce.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Get up.

- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

Why are you here, Coach Chu?

Your Majesty, I have got the order

to go along to protect the Crown Prince.

It's true.

Coach Chu is protecting me.

However, there is one thing not good.

What is not good?

Coach Chu servers me

too well,

if she doesn't server me anymore in the future,

I will feel much not used to.

The Crown Prince Xiao has a fine sense of humour.

Don't you linger on here

with no thought of leaving for home?

I really have a good time.

Here

is better than home.

That's not all right.

If your father knows it,

he will make trouble for me.

The Peace-Making Marriage

between Wei State and Liang State

is being taken seriously by me.

Your highness has already seen it

when you just waked into the hall right now.

The girls with the fine clothes

are daughters of the noble families.

You can choose anyone as you will.

Your Majesty.

The marriage of Xiao Ce

still needs my father to make the decision.

Besides, it's a Peace-Making Marriage

which is a major program of two nations.

I dare not to make the decision by myself.

But there is someone I really like.

So I want to beg Your Majesty to bestow her to me

to be my personal bodyguard.

I hope your majesty can fulfill my wish.

Who is she?

It's she,

the coach of Qiaoqi Camp, Chu Qiao.

What are you doing?

I'm asking for you.

Are you out of mind?

The Coach Chu is the female official

selected without sticking to one patter by our emperor.

If she is given to you,

it will make the people of our Wei State

question the thirst after talents of our government.

I hope Your highness can be considerate of it.

Stop.

Do you call me?

Of course, it's you.

Is this attitude to see the deputy commander in chief?

Deputy commander in chief Yuwen.

Did I let you go?

Are you picking up a fight?

How dare you

to speak with me like this?

Do you have a bad memory?

I have almost killed you for several times.

Is it very strange for me to speak with you like this?

Today is different.

Don't you respect me anymore

since you have already seeked connections

with the Crown Prince?

I have never respected you.

It has nothing to do with the idiot.

Are you jealous that I have some connections

with the Crown Prince of Liang State?

If you are, you can just go and find him.

You are pretty too.

Maybe, he will like you.

Sister Luo He,

I saw your daughter

today.

I didn't expect

I could have the chance

to get reunion like this in this life.

But she didn't recognize me.

Could she have no courage to recognize me?

I really want to see her again.

However,

I'm afraid that

she would expose my identity

to hurt my baby.

Sister Luo He,

I will remember your kindness

as long as my life.

But I have been in the Palace right now

and I'm having my baby.

A mother

could do everything

for her baby.

Sister Luo He,

should I see Chu again?

Your highness, what do you mean?

Do you really have a crush on Chu Qiao?

How do you think?

It doesn't make any sense.

You usually like

the busty girls with really curvy.

But Chu Qiao,

she is too skinny

just like a skeleton.

Will you really like her?

Is she so bad like you said?

Far more than this,

I feel she will be blown away

if I sneeze to her.

I think she is good, really good.

Your highness, there is a letter from the Princess Royal.

Is the letter from Xiao Yu?

Let's go.

Where are we going, Your highness?

Let meet my good sister.

- Brother. - Sister.

When did you come to Chang'an?

I have been here just a little while ago.

Our father just told me

that you were not very well early on.

So I thought you had been in Ya Mountain for meditation.

I didn’t expect to meet you here.

Yeah.

Anyway, as far as I'm concerned,

every place is same.

I have to do my job.

But

it's really hard for you

to take a long trip.

It can't be as hard as you

run the confidential mansion.

What is the purpose

you came to Chang'an, sister?

There are some chores, it doesn't matter.

How about you?

How is your visiting?

Have you archived some progress?

How could the folk custom

of Wei State compare to the one

of our Liang State?

They are all vulgar and coarse

to be chosen by me.

Wei State is different from our Liang State.

You can just take your time. Don’t be rush.

Okay. If there is something I can't understand,

I will ask for your advice.

Your highness, the Princess Royal is here,

is there anything wrong?

This woman is extremely cruel and merciless,

and full of evil tricks.

How could there be anything good

since she is here?

But her target might be

the same one as mine.

Your highness, why do I feel

you are scolding yourself?

Pass the order

that everyone should be cautious and careful.

Chang'an is her territory.

Since I'm here right now,

She will be sorry for herself

if she doesn't plan to do something with me.

Yes.

But we are in the Palace.

She is supposed not to act rashly and blindly.

You can't say so.

It's difficult for us to

get out of JianKang.

Without the restrain of my father,

I would come here for nothing

if I don't take the chance to give her a lesson.

Your highness, should we hide

or fight?

You guess.

Fight?

Your highness.

Did the Crown Prince come here for a visit?

The Three-Year Period is about to expire.

It's fine if Yanxun dies.

If he gets out of Chang'an alive,

there must be a war

between Wei State and Yanbei.

It's an easy problem,

if I can figure it out,

how could not Xiao Ce see it?

No matter is me or he,

the one who can promote this thing happen

will be praised and rewarded by father.

He has been trying to

take control over the Secret Repository

for a long time.

How can he miss

this great opportunity?

The Crown Prince

wants to make alliance with Yan Xun as well?

Maybe.

Then why did he make the move

on a maid called

Chu Qiao?

Everyone knows that

Chu Qiao is Yan Xun's servant.

His action today

exposed Chu Qiao

in front of everyone.

It harms Yan Xun as well.

Isn't he afraid that Yan Xun may hold a grudge against him?

I think he has planned out everything.

Tell everyone

to wait

for my order.

Your Highness is…

Since he is here,

I need to take some action against him.

If we can get rid of

Xiao Ce this time,

then my brother has the chance

to be the Crown Princess.

That would be perfect.

Your Majesty,

who is that girl called Chu Qiao

at court yesterday?

She is one of Yan Xun's servants.

She once stayed at

the Yuwen Household.

You stood up for her yesterday at court.

Are you

interested in her?

I am just surprised that

a woman can join the army.

She must be very talented.

Besides, the Crown Prince of the Liang State

is just a play boy.

I can tell he doesn't

like Chu Qiao.

I think

he is here to cause trouble.

Whatever.

However, this woman

is quite impressive.

Unfortunately,

she is loyal to Yan Xun.

Otherwise, I can give her a post at court

as your personal guard.

You helped her after all.

I don't need anyone else's protection.

All I need

is Your Majesty.

Right.

Have Your Majesty decided

who to marry the Crown Prince of the Liang State?

The only suitable candidate

is Chun'er.

The Crown Prince of the Liang State

is a play boy.

Do you really want Princess Chun

to marry him?

The Emperor of the Liang State

only has two sons.

The other one is inferior

and weak.

Xiao Ce

is his favourite.

He has become the Crown Prince since he was six.

He is very noble.

Although he is a playboy,

it can be tolerated.

After marrying him,

Chun'er will be the Consort of the Crown Prince.

When Xiao Ce becomes the Emperor,

she will be the Queen.

It's good for her.

Your Majesty is right.

Your Royal Highness,

His Majesty told the Viscountess Concubine Lan that

he is going to let you marry

the Crown Prince of the Liang State.

What?

Really?

Are you sure?

He is going to let me marry

Xiao Ce, a playboy?

Yes.

(Breathing heavily)

(Crying)

Your Majesty,

the three-year period is almost over.

As Your Majesty promised,

Yan Xun can go back to Yanbei.

In these two years,

Yan Xun has been very careful

and never caused any trouble.

Howewver, Your Majesty,

he is still a threat.

The more careful he acts,

the more ambitious he is.

If You Majesty lets him go back,

it will lay by trouble for the future.

He is the son of Yan Shicheng after all.

However, I have pardoned him.

Everyone knows about that.

Besides, the Crown Prince of the Liang State is here as well.

Are you asking me

to go back my words?

We can kill him in many ways,

for example, assassination or poisoning.

We can let he leave Chang'an alive

no matter what.

You and Wei Guang

tried some many times.

Did you succeed?

I am helping Your Majesty.

Even he accidentally

dies now,

people will assume

I have him killed.

People talk and it can't be stopped easily.

I don't want to be an Emperor

who can't keep his words.

How about we find an excuse

to arrest him?

An excuse?

He has been very careful these years.

If I could find an excuse,

I would have killed him a long time ago.

Then we need a plan.

Let the people know

that Your Majesty has forgiven him

and is willing to let him go back to Yanbei.

Then,

we find a way to get rid of him.

A plan?

(Sound of walking)

Your Majesty, Princess Chun is asking to see you.

I am discussing

something important right now.

Tell her to leave.

Her Highness said

she must see you today.

If Your Majesty refuses,

she will continue kneeling down in front of the court.

She is such a bother.

Bring her in.

Yes, sir.

I shall excuse myself.

There is no need.

I still have something

to discuss with you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Father.

What's the matter?

Father, I won't marry

the Crown Prince of the Liang State.

Who told you that?

Don't be childish. Go back now.

Father.

If you don't intend

to do so,

then I shall thank you for that.

However,

if you do,

then I shall make it clear to you that

I will never marry

the Crown Prince of the Liang State.

I won't marry him or anyone else.

I only want to marry

Brother Yan Xun.

(Smirking)

Your Highness,

we will leave here soon.

Recently, the guards of the Oriole Courtyard

have changed.

They are no longer under command

of His Royal Highness Yuan Song.

The Emperor is going to kill me.

(Sighs)

The Emperor of the Wei State is a hypocrite,

and values fame and wealth.

The envoy of the Liang State is still here.

We have spread the words all over the city

that Your Highness is already pardoned

and is going back to Yanbei in these years.

Even if the Emperor of the Wei State wants to kill Your Highness,

it will be extremely hard for him to do it in secrete.

Looks like we are about to have the chance

to leave Chang'an.

Therefore, we need to pay attention to the food

and be prepared to fight with assassinators.

In case he is too desperate to care about his reputation.

However, I think

the Emperor of the Wei State

will probably be kind to Your Highness for no reason,

in order to let people believe

he has kept his promise

and has already forgiven Your Highness.

Then he will take Your Highness by surprise and kill you

so that he can appear to be innocent.

Being kind to me?

The only way

he can show the world that he has kept his words

is to let my go back to Yanbei.

He will never do that.

Your Highness,

Your Highness, someone came from the court

and said His Majesty calls for you.

(Sound of walking)

Your Majesty, I am here now.

May God bless Your Majesty.

Stand up.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Yan Xun, how are you?

Thanks to Your Majesty, I am fine.

You have focused on studying these years

and barely go out.

You have become more calm and thorough.

Good.

You are going to govern a land

for me.

You ought to be

calm and thorough.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

How old are you?

Twenty-two, I think?

Twenty-three.

It's time for you to get married then.

Do you have anyone in mind?

No.

I have no achievements.

It's not the right time for me to think about marriage.

People always say you need to get married

before you make some accomplishments.

You parents are gone.

I ought to take care of you.

Even if you don't want to get married,

I still need to remind you of it.

Your Majesty, I…

Right.

I have someone suitable for you.

You and Chun'er

grew up together.

You are meant to be together.

Chun'er can be bad-tempered sometimes,

but she is kind

and has good manners.

I would be worried

if she married someone else.

I have

seen you growing up.

I am willing to

let her marry you.

Your Majesty. I am the son of traitor

It is Your Majesty's mercy

to let me live

How can I expect to marry Her Highness?

I wish Your Majesty could reconsider this matter

You are not willing to marry my daughter?

I can't marry above my station

I heard that

you are

very close to

your maid, Chu Qiao

Are you refusing to marry my daughter

because of her?

This wicked woman

not only bewitches the Crown Prince of the Liang State

but also tries to steal my future son-in-law

How dare she.

(Sound of soldiers practicing)

The Viscountess Concubine Lan wants to see me?

That's right, Coach Chu

You better come with me soon

The Viscountess Concubine Lan are waiting for you

Ok

Please

Your Majesty, that is untrue

When my father committed the most serious crime

all my families were killed

I lost everyone I cherished overnight

It is Your Majesty's mercy

to allow me to live

For the past three years

I have felt ashamed of

what my father did

I have been depressed

It was she

who always kept me company

and encouraged me to get back on my feet

To me

she is not just a maid

but more like a family

We are not

romantically involved

Father

It is indeed untrue

Absolutely nonsense

Brother Yan Xun and I

have already engaged secretly

Then why is he

refusing to marry you?

Because…

You know him

He is just too shy

Right, Brother Yan Xun?

Oh,I see

Good

This is settled then

I shall choose a good day for you to get married

Thank you, Your Majesty

You are Chu Qiao?

I can't see your face

Raise your head

Let me take a better look at you

Chu Qiao, you mother is not coming

Go to the Jings

We are surrounded right now

You need to do what I say

so that you can survive, got it?

Promise me

No matter

what happens

don't come out of here

(OK.)

Take this beautiful girl

back to the camp

She can be our slave

and please us

Let go of me

Let go of me

Let go of me

Let go of me. Let go of me

Let go of me

Come here. Come here

Let go of me. Let go of me

Let go of me

Come here

You look familiar to me

You look like someone I used to know

Many people look similar.

Your Highness is probably mistaken.

Do you know Luo He?

No.

I like to hear stories

from the outside world.

Although Luo He is a female,

she is as tough as any man can be.

She is a wonderful person, full of talents.

I know

you are a very impressive girl

as well.

I think you two are similar.

Thank you.

Where are you from?

I am from the Jing household in the city of Jing Zhou.

Since you are from the Jing household,

why your family name is Chu?

Because

I was adopted by the Jing family

later on

About my surname

I lost my memory

Can't remember

many things in the past

After I followed prince Yan Xun

I decided to throw away the past

and start everything again

Who taught you gongfu?

Speaking of my gongfu,

Master Yuwen Yue in the Yuwen family

can be regarded as my mentor

You little girl

really is special

You look geniality to me

Come and visit me afterwards

Talk with me

Come on, stand up

Thank you, your highness

A'chu?

A'chu, why do you come to the palace?

The concubine Lan asked me to come

Concubine Lan?

Do you know her?

No

You may leave

Yes

A'chu

I felt it strange when the concubine

spoke for you last time

She is both sophisticated

and inhospitable

She became

my father's favorite concubine

in just three years

and gave birth to a prince

To tell you privately

she is said to be loyal to Yuwen Huai

a daughter of Yuwen family

outside their domicile,

but unwritten on the genealogy

Yuwen Huai?

Yuwen Huai hate you so much

How could his subordinate help you?

A'chu, are you going out of the palace?

I can see you off

No need

I have nothing to do any way

Let me see you off

A'chu,

anyone bullied you in the camp?

No one

If anyone hurts you,

tell me

Do not keep it to yourself

I will find justice for you

How powerful you are!

Of course

Brother

Chu Qiao?

Why are you here?

I am answering back, your highness

Concubine Lan asked me to come to the palace

Chun'er, our father wanted to meet Yan Xun

Anything happened?

Brother

Good news

Today,

our father ordered brother Xan Xun's marriage

Marriage?

With whom?

Guess

Seeing your reaction,

is that you?

Yes, it is me

I will marry

brother Yan Xun

ten days later

Ten days?

Why so hurry?

Because brother Yan Xun is

back to Yan soon

Our father wants us

to get married before he goes

back to Yan

Brother

I am leaving for Yan soon

You won't see me any more

Will you miss me?

It's not like you are gone

your whole life

Not to mention,

I can go to see you in Yan

Right

I heard from brother Yan Xun

Yan is extremely beautiful

Bright blue sky and endless grassland

I will treat you

when you come to Yan

You aren't even there now

but act

as a master of Yan

Okay, I thank you in advance

By the way, Chu Qiao

The wedding is coming

Time is up

I have so many things to

Finish

You have followed Yan Xun

for so many years

You must know him well

What does he like or hate?

Tell me everything you know

How about this?

I go and talk to my seventh brother

Send you to the palace these days

You can help me with the wedding

She know nothing about that

She can't help you

Why can't she help me?

We are both girls

And A'chu is so capable

She can do it well

Chun'er

You have so many experienced maids in your palace

What else do you

want A'chu to do

How about I give you all my maids

in my palace? Okay?

- No.. But... - Just

have stay with your brother Yan Xun

Talk with him

We two won't interrupt you

Prince, princess,

I shall leave first

I'm leaving

A'chu

Cry, if you are

too sad

What for?

Yan Xun is marrying

You must feel sad

He will marry someone sooner or later

I am just a little bit surprised that

he get married at this time

Don't you like him?

He is a prince

I am just a civilian

There is no relationship between us

So you don't like him

However, you may not

like him

He surely like you

See his face just now?

He almost wanted to swallow Chun'er

It's just my little sister is a fool

She doesn't understand the situation

Just be stubborn marrying him

Well, nevertheless

if you don't like him,

why do you stay besides him,

and keep caring him, assisting him?

Doesn't feel reasonable

Because

We are the same kind of person

Forget it

You won't understand even if I explain

Mystifying deliberately

Since

you do not like him,

does that mean I have the chance?

Ah

A'chu

Then do you like me?

What? You like me?

Then tell me

what it feels to

like someone?

Like...

When I see you

I...

When I see her

my heart...

my heart beat is speeding

My face will turn red

I want to talk to her

but do not know what to say

to make her happy

And

when she's not in my sight

I will miss her so much that

I can not eat anything

or fall asleep

I'll think about her even in my dreams

Do you have such feelings?

Why do I feel what you said is

someone who is badly sick?

That's true

It feels like I got sick

I... think this is

the lovesickness

I know you are running

I won't let you run

Tell me the answer first

Let go of me first

No

Let go of me

Angry again? Don't be angry all the time

Every time is like this

the Wei Pin Attic

Xian Wan, Xian Wan

That A'jing is here again

Bad taste

What does he see in you?

As beautiful as I am,

he must be obsessed

with everything in me

He is a helpful hand of the prince

right now

Is that a present for you

in his hand?

I think he is good

Do you like him?

He seems ugly and naive

No one will like him

Don't you ever laugh at

a man that loves you

If he doesn't love you one day

he will be more grown-up than your father

Incredible, Si Xuan

Why are you so wisdom

these days?

He is gone

Won't you give me the present?

Seems like he isn't too stupid

He has thought through

Women like you

does not deserve love

Just be jealous

No one will envy you at all

What? The majesty ordered her marriage!

Yes, the decreed is about to be announced

But the wedding is too urgent

The officials of Li department

have a already started to prepare for the ceremony

How could the majesty have his daughter

marry Yan Xun?

He killed

the whole family of Yan Xun

Yan Xun saw

his mother' suicide

at Jiuyou

Hate like this

won't be ended

by a marriage

If the princess marries Yan Xun

how could she be happy?

Master Wei

No, I can't agree

I need to find the majesty

I can't agree with it

Master Wei

- Don't be reckless. - Let go of me

Do you want the princess to

hate you her whole life?

I am just a little maid

I know nothing

But I have followed

the princess since my childhood

I know

she likes prince Yan Xun

since she was small

She wants to marry prince Yan Xun

That is her biggest wish

Now he wish is about to

be achieved

Master Wei

Do you want to be

the person that breaks her dream?

But

But he doesn't like the princess

How can you be so sure?

Even if what you said is the truth,

she will marry him

No. No way

Even if she hates me,

hits me, curse me,

or blame me,

I cannot see her

jumping into fire

I must stop her

Are you capable of?

Master Wei

Minister Wei Guang has passed away

The Wei family is no longer powerful as before

Not to mention, even the concubine

can do nothing with it

Master Wei, you think what can you

really change?

Master Wei,

I know you are really nice to the princess

But I want you to be nice to

yourself, too.

If you really do it

I'm afraid

you won't have any chance to

talk to the princess after that

It doesn't matter now

It's okay if she never talk to me

from now on

I just want her to be

happy

and well-being

If so, I would like to

die for her

Master Wei, what you said

and what you are afraid of

is well known by the princess

But she still want to

have a try

Her passion lasting so many years

can't be cut in just a few words

What if the Prince could

put everything aside

and accept the princess?

You want me here so late

What happened?

I just want to see you

A'chu

About the wedding between me and the princess...

I know
