[Episode 23]

Your Highness.

The son of Lord Ling is here.

Yanxi is here?

Yes.

What?

You are too busy with official duties

to find time to see an idle man?

Why do I own the honor

to have Your Highness in my humble place?

I never come to you without a reason.

I do have something

to discuss with you.

You're not going to ask me

to buy all the pastries from some stall again, right?

Last time I bought all of them,

but I had only one bite

since they were too sweet to swallow.

I'm not here for that.

You are in charge of the Court of Judicial Review.

So

criminal lawsuits

are also part of your responsibilities.

Don't beat around the bush.

With that look on your face,

I can tell

you're definitely up to no good again.

Why would you say that?

You might not know

that today at the government office,

someone beat the drum to demand a mutual divorce.

A mutual divorce?

How would I know?

What does that have to do with me?

The people voiced their grievances.

Your Highness,

please uphold justice today.

[Qijing Government Office]

Justice.

Please identify yourselves

and name your complaints.

My name is Hua Zhi.

I am the head of the Hua Family.

My aunt Hua Xian

married Yang Qi fifteen years ago.

Now she wants a mutual divorce.

I see.

Madam Hua Xian,

you want to divorce your husband?

Magistrate.

Every day feels like ages for me

when I am with him at home.

I don't want to be with him anymore.

Traditionally,

the husband dominates his wife.

The principle of respect and compliance

is the greatest virtue for women.

It's not your decision to make

[Righteousness And Justice] to end the marriage.

Lord Xian,

what brings you here?

I'm not that occupied at the Court of Judicial Review today

and I heard there's an unusual case here,

so I came to find out.

Why is he here?

You can sit.

Hua Zhi.

I remember who you are now.

My identity

has nothing to do with my aunt's mutual divorce case.

Where did you leave off just now?

Your Highness.

Yang Qi has seized my aunt's dowry

and left her nothing.

He has been beating my aunt for years,

and her bruises

are the ironclad evidence.

Any physical evidence?

- Yes. - We do.

There are two pieces.

One is my aunt's complaint

and the other one

is the list of my aunt's dowry.

My aunt's old injuries

and new injuries

were treated by three famous physicians in the capital.

It's all written on the paper.

Everything is clear

and everything I say is true.

If you still have doubts, Your Highness,

you may call someone over

to examine the injuries in court.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I am innocent.

I know a bit of the law

and I have consulted legal practitioners.

My wife's injuries

wouldn't even count as fractures.

If a mutual divorce is granted just because a husband

beats his wife a few times,

then in the entire country,

no couples can make it through.

Tell me.

What do you think?

Your Highness,

according to the law of Daqing,

if a husband beats his wife,

but she neither dies nor has fractures,

there's no need to discuss.

If there are fractures or worse,

the husband is to be demoted by two levels compared to commoners.

This woman, Hua Xian,

is not dead and has no fractures,

so there's no need

to discuss this case.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Magistrate, you should be aware

the law of Daqing also states

that if the husband or the wife fails to comply with the moral conduct,

they shall be judged as commoners.

Yang Qi gobbled up his wife's property,

beat her, and injured his child.

And what's more,

he imprisoned me a few days ago,

intending to take my life.

He has long failed in his duty as a husband.

Your Highness.

I am but the son of Yang Qi and Hua Xian.

What Lady Zhi just said

was entirely true.

I can testify to that.

You...

You are quite silver-tongued,

Hua Zhi.

You are right.

There is indeed such a law.

Your Highness is indeed knowledgeable.

Our requests are simple.

We want Yang Qi and my aunt to get a mutual divorce,

and him to compensate my aunt with two hundred guan.

What are you talking about?

That's easy for you to say.

You want two hundred guan?

This...

Hua Zhi.

How would you know

it should be two hundred guan exactly?

Yang Qi pocketed my aunt's dowry,

which was a hundred and eighty guan.

These past few days,

I have been taking my aunt to seek medical advice.

It cost me three guan.

Besides,

my aunt will need money to raise her kid in the future.

I don't ask for more

because I don't want this to get too ugly.

Yang Qi.

You must pay back

Xian's dowry!

Since the two families are already in discord,

I

can grant the mutual divorce.

But as for the fine,

there's no such thing in the law of Daqing.

It's not in the law indeed,

but in the second year of Mingfeng,

the sixth year, and the eleventh year,

there were precedents that involved fines.

The cases you mentioned

were adjudicated during the years

when Grandfather was still a prince

and served as a magistrate.

Your Highness, as you say.

Fine.

Yang Qi and Hua Xian's mutual divorce is granted.

Yang Qi must pay two hundred guan

to Hua Xian

within one month.

If you fail to pay, you will be detained.

And given a hundred strokes of the cane.

We did it!

Your Highness.

This is great!

You...

You're killing me.

We don't want that.

We want you to sell your house and land

and pay your debt.

You...

[Qijing Government Office]

Where is he?

How come

you fancy

such a sharp-tongued lady?

She might sue you one day.

I'm not afraid of that,

Look out for yourself, Your Highness.

I am a bachelor out and out.

Look

what you are wearing now.

You are really dedicated

to working for her, huh?

Haven't been there in a while.

You aren't serious about her, right?

What do you think?

Yanxi.

Let's make a bet.

On?

One month later,

if you haven't got tired of her,

then I'll gift you

a piece of Mandarin duck brocade.

Three months later,

if you two are still lovey-dovey,

I'll gift her a white jade Guanyin statue.

And what if it goes beyond that?

Beyond that?

Don't tell me

that you could be together for half a year.

Fine then.

This time,

you owe me a favor.

I just asked you to uphold justice,

but I didn't say for whom.

You're the young lord.

You can't renege.

You'd better start to think

about how to repay me.

I am just an idle man without a job.

I am not capable

of returning the favor.

When it comes to leading troops into battle,

none of the young commanders in Court

can match you.

Now the world is at peace,

there's no war to fight.

I'm afraid I can't return this favor.

You never know.

Let's wait and see.

Maybe someday you can return the favor.

It sounds like

you have known that day would come.

Be careful with your words.

Come on, drink some tea.

The tea is quite nice indeed.

I'll take it.

Consider it as another favor

and I'll return it one day.

Gu Yanxi.

Since you returned from the northern land,

you've become even more annoying.

Speaking of which,

how are things between you and your father?

I've heard

Father has ordered you must reconcile with your father.

I shall take my leave.

Lord Ling and Gu Yanxi

are both held in the palm of Father's hand.

Enjoying fine tea together at the hour of Hai.

Sir.

Well...

Well...

What is it?

There was a message from Lord Ling's Mansion.

Lord Ling wanted you to go home.

It was about his condition.

He is not well.

Anything else?

That's all.

Stop.

Let's call it a day.

Last time

Lord Ling was furious.

His Highness has been acting strange these past few days.

No one is allowed to go near his bedchamber

at night.

And not a corner in the mansion can be left dark.

Look how bright it is in his bedchamber.

I heard it's because he's afraid that someone might harm him.

I've heard as much.

His Highness is now afraid of the dark

and to sleep.

He grows more haggard with each passing day.

Let's head back.

Help!

The bedchamber is on fire!

Put out the fire!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

The water's here!

The water's here!

Over here, this way!

Hurry up!

Put out the fire!

The chamber is on fire! Put out the fire!

Hurry up!

Quick!

Your Highness.

Lord Ling's bedchamber is on fire!

Hurry up!

The water is here!

Where is the house

you are interested in?

Come on.

It's right at the end of this street.

It's a bit small,

but it's enough for my son and me.

You're just a stone's throw away.

A very short distance.

It's also convenient for Sui'an to go to school.

I can go with you to check the house tomorrow

and see how it is.

Okay.

Zhi.

The head of the family.

Do a little speech.

Everyone,

we're having a banquet here

to celebrate Auntie Hua Xian and Sui'an

finally starting their new life.

And also

for Aunt Wu and her healthy daughter.

Our family

has a new girl now.

Let's all have a drink together.

Cheers.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Let's drink it.

Yuniang, you had just given birth.

Zhi, you are the closest to her.

You should drink that for her.

Zhi, come on.

Okay.

Then I'll have another drink on behalf of Aunt Wu.

Another one for me, please.

This is delicious.

How nice we are now.

There are more and more people

in our family.

They were part of our family before.

Now they just come back to us.

It's Zhi

who brought them back.

I used to think

that once married,

there was no home for us women.

But now,

Ergui has returned.

And Xian has ended her misery.

Just by looking at you by my side,

I feel peace inside.

Anyway, from now on,

whatever we encounter,

we will always have a home to return to.

No matter what happens,

our Zhi

will never leave any of us behind.

Zhi.

I...

Thank you.

Let's try this.

I want to thank you too, Zhi.

Ergui.

Easy on the wine.

I'm a big girl, Mother.

All you two know is a simple thank-you.

There's so much left to say.

But that's alright.

How about

each one of us,

one by one,

raise a toast to Zhi?

Okay.

Come on.

Come on. Drink up.

Gu Yanxi,

the moonlight is beautiful tonight.

Where are you?

Yanxi.

Let me hold you for a while.

Just for a while.

What's wrong?

Don't look at me.

Look at the sky.

The moonlight is very beautiful tonight.

Okay.

Do you remember the moonlight

of the Lantern Festival that year?

It was beautiful,

just like today.

What happened?

Lord Ling's Mansion was on fire.

So was its owner.

Tomorrow,

people will all be talking about it,

but those talking

will eventually fade away.

Just like my mother's death,

it will turn

into some gossip over a cup of tea

and the truth that never sees the light of day.

You didn't come to the banquet today.

Fudong prepared several pots of fine wine.

You missed it.

Is that so?

That's such a pity.

Would you like to have a taste?

Your Majesty, it's been taken care of.

It's been twenty years.

This scar

has finally been healed.

Yanxi should finally

get over his mother's death.

Sir, this...

Take it.

It's a reward from His Majesty.

You've done your job well.

My thanks to His Majesty.

And thank you, sir.

[Lord Xian's Mansion]

Last night, Lord Ling...

They say there was a fire by accident.

I don't believe it was an accident.

It really surprised me.

His Majesty has been the Emperor for twenty years

and getting old day by day.

But his cruelty

never gets old.

His Majesty has just issued an order.

He wants Your Highness

to investigate Lord Ling's death.

Investigate?

He is clearly taking this chance

to send me a message

and warn me

not to become

a thorn in his heart.

Otherwise...

Here it comes.

The hot mugwort water is here.

Everyone make some room.

Here it comes.

The mugwort water is here.

Careful.

Slow down.

Running so fast doesn't earn you a reward.

Madam Xia.

It's not up to you today.

I am waiting for Madam Wu's reward.

I can't remember

when was the last time

we had the baby-bathing ceremony.

It was when Duo was born.

In the blink of an eye,

it's actually been six years.

Yes.

Where is Zhi?

If she doesn't come soon, the water will go cold.

Zhi has a lot of things to do.

Jin'e, you can host it.

Alright then.

Come on.

Put our gifts into the basin.

- My gift for the baby. - Mine.

Mine.

Mine too.

Good girl.

You have all put your gifts?

All good?

- All good. - Come on, baby.

Yuniang.

Put the girl's hands into the basin

and wash them with the mugwort water.

- Careful. - Careful.

You forgot my gift.

Zhi.

Zhi.

You've arrived just in time.

We are just about to start.

Mr. Yan, you've come.

Mr. Yan,

the girl is pretty cute, right?

Very cute.

Well, if you say so,

you have to reward such a cute girl.

Mr. Yan is a guest, after all.

It's very nice of him to be here today already.

Don't ask him for a gift.

Just ignore her.

All she can see is money now.

She will also be my student one day.

So I have prepared my gift

for today.

I can't accept that, Mr. Yan.

This is too valuable.

When she grows up,

I'll give her an even more valuable gift.

Don't be so distant with Mr. Yan.

He bought an expensive gift indeed,

but Zhi is right here.

Zhi can't let Mr. Yan starve, right?

Right.

Zhi.

Remember

to give Mr. Yan a raise.

The water's getting cold.

Quick.

- Look at her tiny hands. - Look at her tiny hands.

- Look at her tiny hands. - Let's wash your hands.

Great.

I think this little girl here

might make more money than Zhi when she grows up.

Then she must grow faster,

so she can help me out.

Zhi, hold the baby.

Can I hold her?

Here.

Yuniang.

The girl doesn't

have a pet name yet.

Silly new mother.

Give the girl a name.

I'm not well-read.

I can't think of a good name at the moment.

I need more time.

This is easy.

You can

go ask Master Mu and prepare

a box of his favorite pastries.

He is the most knowledgeable person

in the entire Imperial Capital.

That's right.

Hurry up.

Actually,

I prepared an extra gift for her.

When did you

learn to squander money?

How is that squandering money?

I went to Taihe Restaurant

and bought eighteen jars

of the best spring wine

and buried them in the bamboo forest of Zihuang Residence.

Zhi.

I was right there

when she was born.

I can't love her enough.

Aunt Wu,

do you want to wait

until Uncle Pingyang is back

and name your daughter?

When I was still unmarried,

I didn't expect

to meet someone like him.

And I have never imagined

us having kids after marriage.

Now I have a baby daughter,

but everything is completely different.

I've always been curious.

You're such a serene and demure lady.

And Uncle Pingyang

is the most wayward person in our family.

How come you got to know each other?

Don't laugh if I tell you.

I had a good voice when I was younger,

I often sang to amuse myself

when I got bored at home.

Being an unmarried daughter of an official,

singing songs wasn't considered

a decent hobby.

So

I could only sing in the garden occasionally

for a short while

and entertain myself.

♪After a night of falling frost♪

♪All the trees by the lakeside seem to be dyed in white♪

You silly horse.

I'm listening to the song here.

Listen.

This is the most beautiful voice

I've ever heard.

Wonderful.

You must be the best singer

in the Imperial Capital!

May I ask

who did you learn from?

Who is that?

How could there be

such an impudent rascal?

Let's go.

Tell me, horse.

Can I hear her sing again today?

Young Lady.

The doorman said

that the young lad

had been standing outside these days.

Such a nuisance.

What is he doing standing out there?

Who knows?

But don't be afraid.

If he dares do anything,

you can tell Master to break his legs.

But he hasn't really done anything.

[Please forgive my rudeness]

Young Lady.

What is written on it?

Who knows?

Here comes another one.

Ever since I heard you singing the other day,

my ears were momentarily enlightened as if hearing celestial music.

What kind of silly poetry is that?

♪Only one way leads to Yu Temple and Lan Pavilion through the ages♪

♪After a night of falling frost♪

He had a great understanding of music.

Each time I sang a song,

he'd write a comment on his kite.

Rather than calling it a comment,

it was more like a compliment.

Then I realized at that time

what bosom friends meant.

And later,

he came to hear me sing every day.

Young Lady.

The kite.

Every time he arrived,

he would fly his kite.

Then I would know he was outside.

I didn't know if he was a tall handsome man.

And he didn't know

if I was a fair lady.

It went on like that

for a whole half year.

♪Please keep one thing in mind♪

♪Only idle people can live a cozy life♪

The beauty in the building is playing the jade flute

while learning language of the phoenix on Dan Mountain.

Phoenix, phoenix, will you come?

Where is the person I long for?

The jade flute-playing beauty.

Language of the phoenix.

Giddy up.

Wait for me.

I shall come to ask for your hand.

It was a little scary to think about that afterwards.

I had never met him in person.

Our connection was solely through music.

If he were ugly,

that would be bearable.

But if he were vile

or even deceitful,

I would be doomed.

Yet you still married him.

Yeah.

If I were to choose again,

I would still marry him.

That's what love is like.

It's like

walking onto a single-plank bridge with your eyes closed.

You are fully aware that the slightest misstep

would cost your life

and there would be no going back.

But if I hadn't said that to him

and taken a step forward,

I would surely regret it in this lifetime.

Now I think

maybe it's a little scary

to marry a man

that you have never met face to face.

But then I think,

if I had missed Pingyang

and failed to know him

and stay by his side

in this life,

that would truly be terrifying.

I spent all my luck

and courage

on that day.

Uncle Pingyang

also chose to take a step forward.

He also crossed the single-plank bridge.

So

you two became a fine couple.

This one tastes better.

This?

You like it?

I want this one.

Alright.

Our income comes in steadily

and gradually adds up.

The cash box is almost filled.

I wonder how they are doing in the northern land,

and if they have enough clothing and food.

Hurry up.

What are you doing?

Useless.

I'll make you taste the whip today!

How does it feel?

Feel good?

Good?

Stop it.

My brother is frail.

He has been weak since he was young.

He just made a slip,

but it wasn't intentional.

Even if we are sinners,

we're already helping to build dams

in the Sanbai City to guard the borders.

You are an officer

who is fed by the salary of Daqing Nation.

How can you be so cruel

as to humiliate him and treat him like an animal?

Pingyu,

don't say anything.

Humiliate?

Still putting on airs here

like the famous family in a high position, huh?

The whip in my hand

doesn't know who you are.

You want to stand up for your brother?

Fine.

Finish all of his work today.

If you can't finish,

none of you leaves.

Try me!

Officer,

please accept it.

Take it for a drink

to warm up.

You want to fob me off with that little money?

Who am I?

A beggar?

Do you still think

you're high-ranking officials?

Today,

I am going

to teach you three a lesson.

Officer.

Why are you still here?

What?

Don't you know?

General Wu is coming for an inspection today.

The other officers have all rushed over there.

General Wu?

Pingyang.

General Wu is really here?

You.

You're always the quick-witted one.

Who would have thought

we'd be yet living such lives at this age?

Pingyu.

I'm still worried about our family.

I want to know

if my wife and son are doing well.

Look at this place.

I don't even know

if we can make it back alive.

Everyone shut up.

With his age,

Father is still moving rocks on the dam,

and yet you're in self-pity?

You are all big and strong.

You think this is difficult?

Then you're no better than women and children.

After everything that's happened,

our women might have to endure

even a lot more to get by.

Madam Qi.

You make a late-night snack

for Boli?

Yes.

I am pretty tired.

You can keep him company for a while.

Madam Qi.

You've made soup for Boli?

Yes, I have.

He studies hard at night

and gets hungry easily.

I just learned how to make these.

It's my first time making them.

They surely can't compare to Fudong's,

but I've tasted one.

It's not too bad.

So?

Please do try some.

Come.

Mother.

Please have one.

It's my first time

making this soup as well.

You can try it.

Okay.

It tastes so good.

We've got that much?

Are you sure?

I've counted it three times.

It is the right number.

We've saved up so much money.

Who would have known?

Aunt Xia,

bring everyone to the main hall.

I have something to say.

Why did you

hire a painter here

to paint the two of us?

Lady Zhi arranged this.

I just did what she told me.

Where is Zhi?

I will go and ask her.

She's in the main hall

discussing something with everyone.

Okay.

Please look after her for a while.

Zhi.

I was about to inform you later.

Seems you can't wait.

Have a seat.

Zhi.

You've gathered us all here.

What is it about?

I still need

to help Boli with his homework.

Up to now,

the profits of the Hua's

hit half a million.

Half a million?

That much?

Half a million.

I remember you said

that if we saved up half a million,

according to the law of Daqing,

we...

Mother.

We've really

earned enough ransom money

to pardon them from exile.

That would be great!

Back then

when Zhi talked about it,

I thought she was daydreaming.

Who would have thought

it would actually come true?

Remarkable.

But the money

can only redeem one person.

Exactly.

That's why

I've gathered everyone here to discuss

how we should

use the money.

If we are to redeem someone,

who should that be?

I think

Grandfather is old.

We should bring him back first.

What's there to discuss?

The money is only enough for one person.

Of course, we should

redeem Father first.

A teenage boy like Boyu

can handle the hardship.

I agree

with what you think.

Where do we go to redeem him?

And who should we give the money to?

Mother.

Grandfather and the others are now

in Sanbai City in the northern land.

This ransom must be delivered there

to the government office of Sanbai City.

So I have decided to set off with the money

to the northern land

in ten days.

So that means

you can see Boyu and the others?

Please prepare a batch

of clothes, shoes, and hats.

And also prepare medicinal herbs and food.

The more, the better.

Alright.

I will go prepare them right now.

I will go prepare right now.

I'll go with you.

Come on. Let's go.

We can help each other, quick.

Come on.

You go prepare...

Zhi.

You've hired a painter

because you want

to take the portrait of me and the kid north,

right?

I plan

to give Uncle Pingyang a surprise.

I'll go back right now

to apologize to the painter.

I need to ask him to paint me a bit plumper

so that Pingyang will be reassured.

Zhi.

I was too excited and forgot to ask you.

You're going to the northern land

all by yourself?

Of course not.

Even though I go out to do business,

I will bring the servants and guardians

along with a caravan of horses.

I was confused.

Mr. Yan

is the head of the guardians.

Will he go with you

and protect you by your side?

He has other things to do.

I won't bother him then.

He gets his monthly allowance

from us every month.

What is more important than you?

Mother.

I will take care of myself.

Young Lady.

Yingchun.

How long has it been since Mr. Yan came here?

It's been about three days.

Young Lady.

What is Mr. Yan's occupation

outside here?

How come he's just like vanished

when he gets busy?

He's handling some important matters.

It's alright if he doesn't come back.

As long as he's safe.

We can tell him I'm heading north

after he comes back.

Okay.

Watch out.

Hurry.

Stop right there!

Don't run!

Stop right there!

Quick!

Over there!

Quick!

Sir.

We got him.

He's the spy of the Zhao Empire

that escaped from us.

We have searched the lairs

of those spies inside and outside

the Imperial Capital.

So where did this one come from?

Perhaps he came to deliver a letter.

But he was unlucky

to run into us.

No letter in there.

There was.

He ate it before I caught him.

He ate it?

He would've eaten the tube if I'd been slower.

His body is still warm,

so the letter is still there.

Dissect him.

Sir.

He entered the city with a letter the day before yesterday,

but we intercepted it before it was delivered.

And he killed himself on the spot.

It really surprised me.

General Wu,

the General of the Northern Defense appointed by me,

colluded with the people of the Zhao Empire.

With a person like him guarding the border for me,

it's no different from inviting enemies into our land.

Yanxi.

Handle him for me.

Your Majesty.

I have garrisoned in the northern camp for ten years.

I know General Wu well.

There might be more to this matter.

Many of our capable soldiers sacrificed.

If we lose Wu Yong as well,

the northern land will become a weak point.

Even if we appoint a new general there,

I'm afraid he won't be accepted by the troops.

Are you suggesting

that he has been wronged?

I don't know

if he was wronged.

This is crucial.

I am willing to go to the northern land

to make a thorough investigation.

If he really is in collusion with the Zhao Empire,

I will certainly

execute him on the spot.

Sir.

This is so sudden.

We haven't prepared anything yet.

So you're not going?

If so, I will find someone else.

No.

Sir.

I... I didn't mean that.

What I mean is

that we need to bring more clothes.

Sir.

If he won't go, I will.

I've never been to the northern land before.

Go away.

Adults are talking here.

Sir.

Even if we ride fast to the north,

the round trip will take more than twenty days.

What about

Miss Hua?

I will tell her.

Slow down.

It's hot!

Let me get one for you.

Don't take this one.

It's not cooked through yet.

This one is ready.

Careful, it's hot.

Mr. Yan is back.

Mr. Yan.

Mr. Yan.

Have an orange.

No, thanks.

Have you seen Hua Zhi?

She was here just after class ended.

She walked around the yard

and then left.

She's probably in the accounting room now.

I'll go have a look.
