[Episode 26]

Step back.

Hide beneath the cliff edge.

Search!

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Gu Yanxi.

Didn't I tell you to go?

Didn't you ask me to trust you?

Who was almost killed just now?

Are you angry?

If luck hadn't been on our side just now,

you would have died.

I got so anxious that I forgot everything.

But what if it happens again?

What if we're not lucky next time?

Even if there's only a glim of hope,

I will still try.

There can't be a next time!

It's too dangerous.

Commander,

there's nothing.

But whoever can afford to hire these people

must be rich or noble.

Who exactly are they?

Why they came after you?

Yanxi!

Yanxi!

You're back!

Zhi!

Young Lady.

Are you alright?

Why haven't you left?

How could we?

We had to wait for you

to go together.

Zhi,

I'm sorry.

We didn't listen to you.

We

went back under the carriage

and dug out the money.

We worked hard for this.

We can't afford to lose it.

I thought

I would never see you again.

Zhi...

Your brother is so powerful.

How could anything bad happen to us?

They survived this time.

But what about next time?

Next time,

she'll still choose to come back

for me.

Fortunately, everything is fine.

[North Gate]

We're finally back

after all that hardship.

You have other things to do

and can't come home with us,

right?

I need to make a trip to the Palace.

I see. The Palace.

It seems there's been real trouble.

Then be careful.

Do you have anything else

that you want to say to me?

Nothing.

Return safely.

The carriage is back.

Zhi is home!

The carriage is back.

The carriage is back.

Zhi is home!

Is it really them?

Don't you lie to us!

No!

Zhi has come back!

Come on,

let's go.

Let's go.

- Slow down. - Slow down.

No rush.

I wonder how Father

has been.

Bolin,

go help your grandfather

get out of the carriage later.

- Be careful. - Take it slow.

Take it slow.

They're finally home!

Slow down.

[Hua Mansion] Mother!

Aunties!

Zhi.

You're back!

Zhi.

You're back.

Where's your grandfather?

Is he...

Grandfather is in good health.

Then why didn't he come home?

Is it because the government office wouldn't let him go?

No, he just didn't want to come home.

I wanted to bring Boyu home,

but he said he wants to be with Grandfather.

He's grown taller and got tanned.

He's become much more sensible too.

Good lad.

My efforts were not wasted on him.

Uncle Pingyan actually wanted to come home.

But my father didn't allow it.

That old turtle

really doesn't know what shame means.

When he does come home,

I'll scold him hard.

Is everything alright over there?

Yes.

Let's talk inside.

We can't keep standing here.

- Hurry inside. - Mr. Zhong,

you too. Get inside and take a rest.

You've worked hard.

Come on.

Let's talk inside.

Shaoyao.

Is the northern land fun?

Yes, it is!

Let me tell you,

there were those very, very long

and mighty mountains.

And there was the snow.

Snowflakes melt as soon as they fall.

Do you get me?

Then I want to go too.

Zhi,

next time when you go there, take me with you!

You should eat more.

When you grow up

and become as tall as my brother,

she will take you there.

Children speak

without thinking!

Oh heavens,

please don't listen to them.

By the time he grows

as tall as Mr. Yan,

our family will have long been reunited!

Why would you go back there?

Hurry up.

Let's get inside.

Come on.

Mother.

Aunties.

They

have written you letters from the north.

I brought them back.

I was going

to save them for later,

but I was afraid you couldn't wait.

We've been waiting for those letters forever.

Of course, we can't wait.

But the most eager ones

are definitely the dearly lovebirds.

Jin'e,

stop teasing me.

Boli,

your father has written you a letter.

Read it.

Now that I've read it,

I know that he is in good health.

Look at his handwriting,

still vigorous.

He's well.

Bolin,

Father prepared you a calligraphy copy book.

Mother, Father sent his regards to you.

[Letter From Boyu]

He has named our child.

It's Yuan.

Good name.

We've prepared

so much wine, dishes, and fruits.

Those

were for Father.

But we can't waste them.

Let's celebrate anyway

and welcome Zhi home.

Good.

Sounds perfect.

It seems there's really something wrong in the Palace.

Even the looks on these servants' faces

are different from before.

Madam,

come on, have another drink!

Have a bit more.

I've already drunk quite a lot.

Why don't you drink yourself?

You're all trying to make me drink.

Easy there, easy.

You should drink too.

I'll join you!

Come on.

Here you go.

Qin Ergui, what's wrong with you?

Why do you keep making me drink?

What about you?

Fill up your own cup, too.

Alright, I'm filling it up.

Slow down.

Pour some for Yingzhen.

I can't drink any more.

I can't.

It's alright.

We're celebrating today. Drink up!

Come on, Huilan.

I haven't emptied my cup yet.

Come on.

Bottoms up!

Come on.

Come on.

Madam Zhu, would you play something for us?

I'd rather not!

But you're good at it.

Oh, come on!

It's been so long.

I've forgotten how to play.

Just play.

Madam Zhu.

Today is for celebration.

Just play for us

as a reward,

or we'll keep nagging you.

Aunt Yingzhen,

I'll make a humble start

and play with you.

Oh my, this is incredible!

Ling

was never willing to play for us!

Come on!

Go ahead, play!

Since Ling is playing,

I'll also play for you.

- Great! - Great!

Madam Qi,

you should also show us what you can do.

No, I can't.

Haven't practiced in a long time.

I really can't.

Come on!

Alright, since we're celebrating today,

I'll do it for you.

- Great! - Great!

Do it!

You didn't know?

Oh, my dear Huilan!

You can do this?

You are

a hidden talent!

Why didn't you join them

to write couplets back then?

All you do is talk.

Why don't you show us your trick too?

My dear,

please spare me.

What can I possibly do?

Do you want me to show you

how to use an abacus?

Actually, that will do as well.

Right?

Aunt Wu,

why don't you sing a song?

No, I...

I brought you flowers

and a kite,

yet you wouldn't even sing a song for me.

You are

as sharp-tongued as Jin'e!

Go on!

Ladies, if you don't mind,

I'd like to sing a song.

But if you laugh at me,

I won't do that.

- Come on! - Come on!

Perhaps,

my family can truly

be reunited.

By that time,

Gu Yanxi,

will you be there?

Changqing,

shouldn't the banquet be held

in Jiying Hall?

Why has it been moved to Chenglu Palace?

Young Lord, come with me

and you will know.

Young Lord,

it is of great importance.

Therefore, I dare not act rashly.

The decision will be yours.

What happened to my uncle?

Yesterday, after leaving the Court,

His Majesty said he'd been so busy

and tired.

So he went to take a nap.

But after he laid down,

I

could not wake him anymore.

It's been a day and a night?

Yes.

Fortunately, His Majesty had already decreed

that due to Lord Ling's recent passing,

he wanted

to mourn for his brother,

so this year's palace banquet would be kept simple

and he would not attend personally.

That was why I managed to keep this

a secret until now.

In the Palace,

the only person His Majesty can trust and rely on

is you.

Close the gates immediately.

No one goes in or out.

Gather the Security Bureau Guards

and the imperial guards to seal off the Palace.

Bring all the servants,

ladies, eunuchs for questioning.

Hurry, walk faster!

Hurry up!

What are you doing? Hurry up!

Move faster!

Hurry up!

What are you looking at?

Hurry up!

Move!

Move quickly!

Stop wasting time!

Yesterday,

did you visit Chenglu Palace?

I'm innocent.

I'm innocent!

His Majesty did summon me last night.

But when I arrived,

His Majesty had already gone to bed.

I thought to myself,

perhaps His Majesty was too tired.

I only sat for a short while

before returning.

I did not attend him in his bedchamber.

Commander, if you don't believe me,

you can ask Jixiang,

my eunuch.

Oh, right,

Changqing can vouch for me!

What time was it?

It was just past the hour of Xu.

Consort Chen,

for the next few days,

please rest here temporarily.

Once everything is clear,

you can go back to Lanqi Palace.

Take her away.

If she was telling the truth,

when His Majesty left the Court,

he was still well.

When Consort Chen arrived,

I'm afraid His Majesty was not asleep,

but in a coma.

Did Lord Xian and Lord Hui visit

or send anything?

I don't think so.

Lord Xian did send a food box,

but His Majesty didn't even touch it.

Residue of the heart-nourishing soup has been investigated.

This month's medical records from the Imperial Medical Bureau

have also been examined.

Yesterday's meals from the imperial kitchen

and all the relevant staff have been interrogated.

Nothing unusual.

According to the records of the past few days,

it was you, Physician Zhang,

who checked His Majesty's pulse, right?

Since the beginning

of this month, it has been me

who's been checking His Majesty's pulse.

Apart from

the regular heart-nourishing soup he takes,

I haven't added or reduced

any medicine.

Yesterday, I took His Majesty's pulse

and found it no different from usual.

Commander, please investigate thoroughly.

When was the pulse checked?

Around the hour of You.

Before His Majesty had his meal.

You serve in the Imperial Medical Bureau

as a level-six physician, right?

Your family all live in the capital, don't they?

Yes, they do.

No, please!

Commander, please show mercy!

Check His Majesty's pulse again

and report the results to me truthfully.

In the next few days,

please stay in Chenglu Palace.

Yes.

They are all dead?

Yes.

I waited long but didn't get any news.

So I went there, only to find

that they were all killed in battle.

You went out for over a month,

set up five checkpoints along the way

and killed over a hundred and thirty travelers.

Yet, you just happened to miss

the Commander of the Security Bureau?

The Commander has

taken control of the Palace.

Your Highness,

there's news from the Palace

saying that the Commander has returned.

I failed to accomplish the task.

Please punish me, Your Highness.

Rise.

The Commander of the Security Bureau

is never easy to deal with.

There are greater tasks for you in the future.

You can make amends then.

[Instructor's street murder]

I could never imagine

that the great fighters I sent out

would all be killed by him.

Not even a single word

or a portrait

was sent back.

This is what makes the Security Bureau

formidable.

However,

we must succeed

before he returns.

Now, His Majesty is unconscious.

The outcome of this game has already been decided.

Got it.

First, withdraw all your people.

You must be very cautious in the next few days.

Be sure not to expose yourself.

If you see anyone

from the Security Bureau near the mansion,

just act like nothing has happened.

Judging by the current situation,

I can easily win this game

by doing nothing.

Be patient.

Tell me.

I...

I...

Speak the truth,

then you can live.

If you dare to lie to me,

your entire family will die before tomorrow.

I am sorry.

His Majesty's pulse is weak,

and his blood flow is stagnant.

Without an efficient treatment,

I fear that within seven days he will...

Has there been anything unusual in the capital these days?

Commander,

the Security Bureau has been running as usual,

and there's no news about the Zhao people either.

I'm afraid the news about the spies from the Zhao Empire

was a smokescreen from the beginning.

What about the princes?

Lord Hui and Lord Xian

have been staying indoors.

They might have heard some rumors and are trying

to avoid suspicion.

The enemy is probably trying to waste our time.

Send more men to keep

a close watch on them,

especially Lord Xian.

No matter what happens,

report everything to me.

Understood.

Commander.

We've searched the entire Palace.

Everyone is here

except for

the Sixth Prince.

Back when

Boyu was with me,

I totally spoiled him.

Now, it's a good thing

that he's going

through hardships to gain experience.

He'll learn a lot.

Next time,

when you go back there

to bring all of them home,

I'll definitely go with you.

We'll spend ages trying to save up such a huge sum of money, though.

Yes, that's why we need to figure out a way

to make our money generate more money.

That's a good idea!

Young Lady.

It's not like money can have kids.

How does it make more money?

The money we earn in our shop

and from the restaurants

is already quite a lot,

but the restaurants

are making a fortune every day.

Look at you, Zhi.

I've been thinking the same.

Every day when I do the accounting,

I keep thinking

that we've been working for those restaurants

and diners

for some time now,

but

as the ones doing the hard work,

we only earned a little in the end.

I

have been

so jealous of them already.

Half a million

might be enough to start a small shop.

But to start a restaurant,

I don't think it's enough.

That's true.

Throughout the Imperial Capital,

our family owns shops

in a number of markets

in decent locations.

Before I got married,

I used to handle the account books.

I remember that any of those shops

was worth over a million.

And that

was the price ten years ago.

Take a look!

Check it out!

Vintage liquor!

My legs are so sore.

Aunt Xia was right.

Any decent place

to run a restaurant

is out of our reach.

Then what do we do?

I heard an eminent monk

has come here,

vowing to rebuild

the ruined temple south of the city.

Yes.

Do you have an idea?

Let's go to the south of the city.

Young Lady,

that place is quite remote.

Hey,

when the Daxiangguo Temple is rebuilt,

things might change.

[Tangxi Restaurant]

[Tangxi Restaurant]

Three hundred and fifty thousand then.

We'll consider it a deal.

As for the deposit...

Hold on!

Isn't that Miss Zhi?

Mr. Bai,

what a coincidence.

What brings you

here today?

Hurry back home to get sixty thousand.

No rush.

I have the money.

Mr. Wang,

here is sixty thousand.

Miss Hua,

you are being a bit unfair now.

I've been discussing with Mr. Wang for so long

and we've just made a deal.

In the business world,

first come, first served.

Who made the deal first

can't be decided by mere discussions.

It should be confirmed with the payment.

Miss Zhi,

a word, please?

Miss Zhi.

Truly, we meet in the most unexpected places in life.

I thought this desolate place

would attract no one.

Unexpectantly,

we meet once again.

I'll pay the deposit first.

And then we'll talk.

Miss Zhi,

since we share the same thought,

I still wish to say a few more words.

The Hua's Shop makes a fortune every day,

which truly impresses me.

But a restaurant is different from a pastry shop.

It requires not only good food but also more management skills.

You'll need both skills and connections.

Moreover,

buying a restaurant

costs a huge sum of money.

So please think it over, Miss Zhi.

Before last year,

no one in the capital knew

that the Huas could make pastries.

Speaking of which, I must thank you for that, Mr. Bai.

It was you who saw our value.

But who is born with the knack for management?

I believe

that as long as I'm willing to put in the effort,

I can always find a way.

If I get scared by what you say

and dare not move forward,

then there's truly nothing that can be accomplished.

I'm worried that the money you've worked

so hard for

might be wasted in vain.

That's why I kindly advised.

If you insist,

I have nothing to say.

Actually,

I have a question for you, Mr. Bai.

How do you find the extra energy?

You're already running

the huge Yunlai Restaurant.

How come you still want to acquire Tangxi Restaurant?

That's a long story.

I am no longer

the manager of Yunlai.

The owner of Yunlai Restaurant

has hired someone else to run it.

To be honest,

I have nothing now.

I have to start all over again.

So I need to be extra cautious.

I've searched in the capital for over a month

before I found this place.

A decent man ends a friendship without resorting to harsh words.

Mr. Bai, you're a righteous man.

I have heard

that Yunlai's owner,

Mr. Zhu,

always tries to use and then discard his helpers.

Such a short-sighted man.

Mr. Bai, I think your leaving the restaurant

is his misfortune.

Miss Zhi,

how well-informed you are!

That's right.

I plan to start my own business.

I won't work for someone else anymore.

Mr. Bai,

I always admire you for your capability.

Miss Zhi,

I, too, have always admired your foresight.

If it hadn't been

for your support in the first place,

we would have to try much harder

to get where we are now.

Since you want

to restart your business

and we wish to reach new heights,

I think we can easily strike a deal.

Mr. Wang,

the deposit is paid

by Mr. Bai and me together.

Sixty thousand in total.

Thirty thousand each.

What does this mean?

But there is one condition.

Mr. Wang,

now that you have accepted the deposit,

you must not bring a third buyer

to check this place out.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Understood.

But

which one of you exactly

will be the owner of Tangxi Restaurant?

When the winner between us

is determined.

After I win,

I will return thirty thousand

to Mr. Bai.

I will do the same.

When I acquire this restaurant,

I will return thirty thousand

to Miss Zhi.

You're confusing me.

What winner?

Hua's pastry!

Hua's pastry!

Hua's pastry!

Hua's pastry!

Hua's pastry!

Hua's pastry!

Hua's pastry!

There are words on it.

The Hua's...

Starting tomorrow, the Hua's and the Bai's

will set up a cooking arena.

Each presents their signature dishes

to treat the capital's diners.

In five days,

the one with greater profits wins.

If you want to know where the arena is,

please come to the end of Linghua Street

where the Tangxi Restaurant is located.

- Interesting. - What does it mean?

Quite interesting!

[Tangxi Restaurant]

All of you present here

are experts in the kitchen.

Since you've signed the contract and taken

the advance payment,

from now on,

you work for the Hua Family.

Fudong,

I entrust this list to you.

From now on,

they will follow your command.

Young Lady,

how can I manage so many people?

No.

Fudong,

if we want to take over that restaurant,

we must put on a good show.

No matter how capable you are on your own,

you still need

these kitcheners

to assist you.

Young Lady,

if you ask me to create

new dishes in the kitchen by myself,

I'd be more than willing to do it.

But if you want me to manage so many people...

You know,

back home,

I couldn't even

manage a few maids.

Now

our windmill posters

are all over the capital.

When the competition starts,

countless people will come here.

If you don't take the position of head chef,

who else in the family

could do it?

Do you remember, in the class of Diversity,

I've told you

that a person has four limbs

but only one heart.

I have found you

so many additional hands.

You just need to be the heart.

Everyone,

although I am the head of the Hua Family,

it is Fudong who is the head chef.

From now on,

please

follow Fudong's orders.

- Yes. - Yes.

Do snakes really live here?

I really saw one before.

What's wrong?

Why stop looking?

Shen Huan.

Things between Yanxi and Zhi don't seem

to be going well.

Ever since we returned from the north,

neither of them smiled.

When returning to the city,

they parted ways directly.

I asked Zhi about it,

but she wouldn't tell me what happened.

Forget it.

Even if I knew,

I probably wouldn't understand.

I wouldn't be of any help either.

Since there's nothing you can do,

then stop worrying about it.

Think about the happy things.

That makes sense.

Hey,

your journey to the north

must have been interesting, right?

I've never been

that far away in my life.

It doesn't matter.

Let's go together.

We can go to places

more interesting than the north.

Like

the south, the west...

The east!

Don't lie to me.

Never!

Come on,

pinky promise.

Deal.

There's a snake!

Where is it? Where?

Where?

Did you scare it away?

Stay back!

No,

I saw it right here!

Where is it?

There!

Let me ask you one more time.

When did the Sixth Prince go missing?

I...

Last night,

when I took you people there,

I already knew the prince had gone missing.

Go on!

I'll tell you!

Stop!

I can't take it!

Speak!

The prince went missing

the day before yesterday.

We were thinking

that if we reported it,

we'd certainly suffer punishments,

so we agreed to keep it secret

to buy as much time as possible.

After all, no one ever cared

about him anyway.

Even when an ordinary family

lost their children,

they'd start looking for them immediately.

Where did you get such audacity?

Tell me,

when was the prince last seen the day before yesterday?

We were drinking at the imperial kitchen that day

and got a little drunk.

I... I don't remember the exact time.

Yanxi,

hold the brush upright.

The strokes have to be straight.

Commander,

there's still no news about the Sixth Prince.

Conduct another thorough search in the Palace.

Look anywhere that can hide people

or dead bodies.

I'm afraid the Sixth Prince

is already gone.

Alright, I will do it.

Any news from Lord Xian?

Not even his dogs made a bark.

No sign of any movement.

As long as the Security Bureau

doesn't have anything on him

and can't find

a cure,

he can hide in there

until seven days later.

I will send more men to keep

a closer eye on him.

Starting today, the kitchen of Tangxi Restaurant

will be split in two.

Cooks from the Hua's

and cooks from the Bai's

each taking a side.

Both sides compete in the same building.

Both sides count the orders

every day.

In five days,

the one with more profits wins!

Darling,

can you lift it?

Perhaps

you should go chop some scallions

or give the pot a scrub.

That's the kind of work you should be doing.

Hey, don't leave!

Alas, a young missy

might bring me bad luck.

I can't believe

I'm here to follow

a little girl's lead.

Before we came here,

we should have known.

Even the head

of the Hua Family

is a little girl,

so the ones following her

are surely

all young girls as well.

That's right.

The problem is...

Fudong,

those siskins

have been plucked and washed clean.

But because I'm not yet familiar with this place,

I couldn't find the Shaoxing wine.

Seriously, women

are so rigid.

Can't you make

vinegared siskins without the Shaoxing wine?

In that case,

say something nice to me

and I'll help you do it.

Back when I was at the duke's mansion

making vinegared siskins,

our Fudong

probably wasn't even born yet.

Shaoxing wine has been hard to purchase lately.

We have to wait for it to arrive by ship next month.

Go get the Jinhua wine instead.

Jinhua wine?

I'm afraid that'll be too sweet.

Yes.

So when you add the red yeast rice later on,

halve the amount and that'll do.

Alright.

Sir,

I remember now.

The first month

of the year before last, the Grand Master invited the duke's head chef

to cook for his family.

I'm certain I've seen you.

What were you doing then?

I am Sun Xiaohuo.

The Grand Master loved

my shredded chicken with eight mixed vegetables.

So you're the renowned

Chef Sun!

A pleasure to meet you.

The honor is mine.

But

no one compares to you!

Niu's stewed fish

is renowned throughout the capital!

Right?

Yeah.

Fudong,

where did you work before?

I...

I've always been in the Hua Mansion.

Starting from the beginning of last year,

I've made sugared haws,

date paste honey cakes...

What?

How come they all sound like

snacks from a street stall?

So what else have you made before?

Before,

I've been with Lady Zhi

as her maid.

Oh my.

A newbie.

Who is she to call the shots here?

Be careful not to cut your fingers!

Learn from him.

The knifing skill

requires

decades of practice.

They look professional.

Who told you to work like this?

Who told you to work like this!

Use flour to clean the pig's stomach

and sugar to clean the intestines!

You're as stupid as a pig!

What's the matter?

She really did cut her finger!

Let me see.

Fudong.

Your knifing skill

is truly impeccable!

I'm sorry if I jinxed it.

I'm a straightforward man.

Fudong,

please don't take it to heart.

Just pretend I didn't say anything.

Fudong,

I think

you really shouldn't be the head chef.

I mean,

you can't even

chop scallions well!

You...

Qi,

go get some stove ash

for Fudong's cut.

Thanks, but I'm fine.

Xigu?

Where are you going?

Why stop chopping?

Xigu!

Fudong wouldn't speak to me no matter what.

You should talk to her.

She is inside.

Let me see your hand.

So it's not about the cut.

What exactly happened?

You know you can tell me.

I will certainly stand up for you.

Young Lady.

I...

I think I saw

the man who sold me.

Where did you see him?

At Tangxi Restaurant?

He is the second chef at Bai's.

Fudong,

you are now with the Hua Family.

You don't have to be afraid of him anymore.

How can I not be?

He'd been beating me since I was a kid.

He...

He is the man who brought me to this world.

That man is your father?

Do you know

why he sold me in the first place?

He'd been drinking

for as long as I can remember.

He'd abuse my mother when he was drunk.

Then she ran away.

That year,

he was preparing a birthday feast for a wealthy family.

I couldn't even read properly at that time,

but I'll never forget that dish.

It was called Roasted Camel Hump.

That day,

he took the camel hump home

to marinate it.

Father, wake up!

Wake up!

What was that for?

I'm sleeping.

The meat is gone!

Where is the meat in the basin?

The meat!

Are you dead?

You couldn't even keep an eye

on such a big piece of meat!

Father,

you told me to buy firewood!

You still have the nerve to cry?

It was either taken by a dog

or stolen by a thief.

The feast must be ready tomorrow!

I...

Where can I get another

piece of camel hump now?

Even if I sold myself to someone,

I...
