[Moon Love]

[Episode 10]

My Lord?

It really is you.

I was just about to come to you,

and here you are.

I have so much to tell you.

Enough.

I lowered myself to come here

because I have serious business.

Was there anything unusual

at tonight's lantern fair?

After all,

since you came to Qingzhou City,

renegade immortals from all over the immortal world

have gathered here.

My Lord,

they really have...

Don't interrupt me.

You watched the lantern fair tonight.

Do you think the lanterns were brighter,

or the moon

you saw as a child

was brighter?

Although I used to like

to pray to the moon as a child,

I had an eye disease and

never truly saw the moon.

By the way, My Lord,

aren't you tired of

standing at the top of that tree?

This is just the position and distance

that should exist between you and me.

Fine.

I know you're noble.

But...

there are too many mosquitoes and bugs there.

You haven't answered my question yet.

How was the lantern fair?

Actually,

we didn't make it to the lantern fair.

You didn't make it?

Go on.

We didn't make it to the lantern fair.

so we just went for a walk by the Mirror Lake.

You went for a walk?

But there was a renegade immortal

who kept following me.

I had to pretend everything was fine.

It was tough.

I didn't even have the chance to have a good chat

with Brother Xie.

So,

this renegade immortal was really out of line.

Extremely out of line.

I had to make an excuse to leave.

Originally,

I wanted to go to Imperial Censor's Mansion to find you.

After thinking about it,

I decided it was too late

and I shouldn't bother you.

So, I came back.

Even if you had come,

I might not have helped you.

But you're here now.

Thank you so much.

Now,

there should be no renegade immortals around.

I can finally get a good sleep.

I came

to ask you about the lantern fair,

not to put your mind at ease.

I know.

But as long as you're here,

I feel reassured.

I never expected you

to have such leisure and elegance.

It's so ugly.

Ugly?

But this flower was given to me by Brother Xie.

It's vibrant,

just like me.

So it's from Xie Zhihua.

Xie Zhihua?

Are you saying Brother Xie?

Why did you mention others

in such a beautiful scenery?

In my opinion,

the moonlight

is a hundred times more beautiful

than this flower.

Yes, indeed.

The moonlight tonight is truly beautiful.

My Lord,

could you accompany me

for a while longer to admire the moon?

Just for a while.

I came to ask you about the lantern fair.

Since you didn't see the lantern fair,

I came in vain.

You should rest.

I'm leaving.

The moonlight tonight

is truly beautiful.

It would have been nice to have a few more words with His Lordship.

At this late hour,

don't come to me, you renegade immortal!

Let me have a good sleep!

You...

You're a little fairy,

why did you make yourself look so frightening?

Leave me quickly.

I won't help you.

[Wanwan]

Love?

Do renegade immortals also fall in love?

When I see him,

time seems to slow down.

And my heart...

beats loudly.

Why does this feeling you describe

sound familiar?

It has been a whole night.

You still haven't finished talking about you and your sweetheart.

I'm going to Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Stay here in the morgue.

I'll figure out a way for you when I come back.

I'm not running away.

I'm going to Imperial Censor's Mansion to work.

Do you dare to go in there?

At critical moments,

Imperial Censor is indeed useful.

[Lady Lan]

[Wanted]

She must be the witch

who came from Western Region before, isn't she?

I heard she's the person who finds spouses

for deceased young masters and misses

from wealthy families.

[Lost and Found]

She's a guest of honor of Old Madam Jia.

She is quite mysterious.

[Wanted]

That's an influential household

in Qingzhou City.

We can't afford to offend them.

[Qingbin Warehouse]

You didn't get scared away by His Lordship?

You said before

that your grandmother wants to help you choose a spouse.

Do you not want to follow her arrangement?

Are you still thinking about your little sweetheart?

But his family's property has been confiscated,

and he has been banished for ten years.

How can you be sure that he will come back?

Besides,

your grandmother's family is highly influential.

How can I persuade them?

I now work for Imperial Censor's Mansion.

If I go there and say something absurd,

it will cause trouble for His Lordship.

Don't...

Don't do this.

You look even scarier when you act cute.

Doesn't your heart belong to your little sweetheart?

How can you have improper thoughts towards His Lordship?

What nonsense are you talking about?

I don't feel that way

about His Lordship.

Alright.

It really is difficult.

Let me think about it.

Yun Zhaoyan.

Yun Zhaoyan.

You...

My Lord!

In broad daylight,

what are you up to this time?

A renegade immortal came just now.

And now,

she might have been scared off by you.

There couldn't possibly

be a renegade immortal in my territory.

There was.

That renegade immortal

claimed to be Miss Wanwan from the Jia family.

The Jia family in Qingzhou City?

You can't do this!

Yun Zhaoyan.

How dare you speak to me like this?

I...

No!

You can't have improper thoughts!

Fine.

I promise you.

Did a renegade immortal just appear?

No matter what she said to you,

you must not agree.

But I...

The Jia family...

has indeed been acting strangely recently.

I've also heard some rumors.

However,

you can't meddle in their affairs.

My Lord,

did you come to me just to say this?

I...

I came to see

if you are too idle

and if I should give you more tasks.

I'm not idle.

I still have a lot of things to do.

I'm resting tomorrow.

Don't assign me any tasks.

Then it will depend on your performance.

How should I explain to Wanwan?

[Jia's Mansion]

[Old Madam Jia]

Old Madam.

We stored a miniature portrait of your deceased granddaughter

in the core of this jade pendant.

We will place it somewhere in Qingzhou City.

Any eligible man

who finds the jade pendant

can marry your granddaughter.

Thank you.

I hope you can find someone

who can understand her.

It seems Miss Wanwan is a bit anxious.

I will remake this jade pendant

and get this matter done for you as soon as possible.

What did Miss Zhaoyan do

that made you so angry?

She never has a day without making trouble.

Something may happen to the Jia family recently.

Send more people

to keep a close watch.

I've heard about it too.

The Jia family invited the witch from Western Region to Qingzhou.

Yun Zhaoyan said

that Old Madam Jia's granddaughter,

Wanwan, has come to her.

So, Old Madam Jia's granddaughter

is actually a renegade immortal?

The Jia family is one of the wealthiest families.

Old Madam Jia herself

is a heroic woman who has fought in battles.

But now,

they're actually believing in some witch from Western Region.

Those are just tricks.

Indeed.

We need to come up with an idea to completely eliminate

those decayed and contemptible tricks

like marriage arrangement with red threads.

The matter of the renegade immortal is something

that mortals simply cannot comprehend.

I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle.

But I think

Miss Zhaoyan

might be able to

help us with it.

But...

if she gets involved...

With you around,

Miss Zhaoyan will surely be fine.

Why don't you take this opportunity

to meet Old Madam Jia

and suggest her not to do it?

If she insists on it,

we can prepare in advance.

[Jia's Mansion]

Recently, some people

from the Western Region have come to Qingzhou City.

I heard that

they have some dealings with Jia's Mansion.

Old Madam Jia,

are you aware of this?

Imperial Censor, thank you for your concern.

It's a private matter of our family.

I will

handle it properly.

My Lord,

you don't need to worry.

You've always been reasonable.

Why would I worry?

It's just that...

"Concern can lead to confusion."

Old Madam,

please remember that.

Great tea.

It's a pity

that it was made with spring water

instead of fallen water.

It's not the right way.

It's a shame

to waste the good intentions of this tea.

Sorry to bother you.

I'll take my leave.

Take care, My Lord.

[Jia's Mansion]

[Jing Yao]

Wanwan.

I miss you so much.

You must be very lonely

up in heaven.

Don't worry.

I'll

come up with an idea.

Old Madam.

Old Madam.

There is someone claiming to be Jing Yao outside

asking to see you.

Why did he come back?

Old Madam,

I've returned from the border

and brought betrothal gifts

to ask for Wanwan's hand in marriage.

It has been ten years.

How has your family

been faring at the border?

In the second year at the border,

my parents fell ill and passed away.

They left my younger brother with me,

and he has found a job now.

We have managed to live relatively stably.

The Jing family was exiled

to the border and had its property confiscated back then.

Now that

the ten-year sentence is over,

you should

make plans

for a stable life.

Old Madam,

I promised Wanwan

that I would come back to marry her.

Wanwan

had fallen ill and passed away

three years after you left.

No.

No.

No.

You don't need to doubt me.

I wouldn't use the life of my own granddaughter

to deceive you.

Wanwan has been frail and sickly since childhood.

You know that.

Did...

Did she say anything before she passed away?

What she said

is none of your concern!

The Jia family has been loyal to the country for generations.

We can be considered

a reputable family.

Wanwan

was the only daughter of our Jia family.

Regardless of her current condition,

I won't allow her

to have any association with you,

whose background is stained!

No!

Old Madam.

I don't have any other intentions.

It's just that I made a vow with Wanwan.

Whether she is alive or dead,

I will never leave her.

Now that Wanwan has passed away,

I want to pay my respects to her.

You'd better give up.

The relationship

between you and Wanwan in the past

was nothing but childish talk without the consent

of parents and matchmakers.

In the future,

refrain from mentioning it

to avoid

tarnishing my granddaughter's reputation.

Old Madam.

I know,

I'm from a humble family,

and I'm a sinner,

unworthy of Wanwan.

I have no other wishes,

just to see Wanwan once more.

Old Madam.

Old Madam!

Guards.

Drag him out

and lock him in the woodshed.

Old Madam!

Old Madam!

Wait for your punishment!

Old Madam.

Old Madam.

Since an old acquaintance has brought up the past engagement,

why don't we

take the initiative

and crush his wish?

Is everything

ready?

I've placed the jade pendant in Qingzhou City,

waiting for someone destined to find it.

Handle this for me properly,

and there will be a substantial reward.

Make sure

to act swiftly.

Wanwan,

didn't you say the jade pendant is by the broken bridge?

Why can't we find it?

Could it be

that the pendant has already been picked up?

Isn't that Brother Xie?

What does this mean?

Oh no.

Brother Xie!

Brother Xie!

Brother Xie was tied up by the jade pendant

and might be in trouble.

I have to find him quickly.

That's what happened.

I also asked Xu Xian and Bei Wu.

They said Brother Xie went to the city defense post

and hasn't returned.

He might have been trapped in Jia's Mansion

and manipulated into the arranged marriage.

My Lord!

Don't touch it.

You meddling in other people's affair was one thing,

but you also got a deputy censor of my Imperial Censor's Mansion into trouble.

I didn't want this to happen either.

Who would have known that Brother Xie happened

to pass by and picked up the jade pendant?

It's a heaven-sent match.

Isn't this a good thing?

My Lord,

now is not the time to be sarcastic.

You care about him a lot.

This is related to Wanwan.

I feel like I was the one

who got Brother Xie into trouble.

Miss Zhaoyan, don't worry.

His Lordship is also worrying about it.

Jia's Mansion affair is just a deceitful trick,

playing with deception.

My Lord,

are we going to the Jia's Mansion now?

There's no evidence for this matter.

We can only investigate first.

My Lord.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

Ren Shique,

I was looking for you.

Princess, what can I do for you?

Rumors have been

circulating all day in the city.

What's going on?

Did you make mischief again?

What does this have to do with you

that made you come here personally?

I don't think Governor's Mansion

should meddle in it for now.

I am the Princess.

Of course I should meddle in.

Princess,

rest assured,

with His Lordship here,

everything will be fine in Qingzhou City.

Well then,

if you need anything,

remember to come to me anytime.

Sure.

By the way,

is Imperial Censor's Mansion

off tomorrow?

I have something to attend to

and need to borrow someone.

Who do you want to borrow?

Well...

That...

That one whose last name is Xie.

He's quite skilled.

Just recently, a batch of new guards arrived

at our Governor's Mansion.

I want to call him to train them.

Deputy Censor Xie has not been at the mansion recently.

Where did he go?

If you don't tell me,

I'll find out myself.

There's no one

I can't find in the city.

Princess.

[Jia's Mansion]

My Lady.

I'm sick because I drink medicine all day.

I don't want to drink it today.

My Lady, you have been frail since childhood.

The doctor said, apart from needing rest,

you also need to take medicine every day for recuperation.

Leave it there.

I'll drink it in a moment.

By doing this, you'll kill the tree.

I'm up here.

Who are you?

My name is Jing Yao.

It's from "This scene is like in a dream.

Isn't it a prosperous era like in Yao's time?"

My name is Wanwan.

It's from "Finding a place where no one is around,

and tying our hair into concentric knots."

[Jia's Mansion]

It looks like

the Jia family has already prepared everything for Wanwan.

My Lord!

Why are you going to the next door?

Never mind.

Rescuing Brother Xie is the priority.

Come in with me,

Miss Zhaoyan.

You must be Miss Yun,

who has been with

the Imperial Censor recently, aren't you?

I heard that

there was a strange girl who came to

Imperial Censor's Mansion in Qingzhou.

I'm originally from Qingzhou.

I just returned to live here.

There's nothing unusual about me.

I'm here

to ask you

if my colleague is at your mansion.

Miss,

where did you get this jade pendant from?

To be honest,

today, a colleague of mine accidentally found

this jade pendant in the bushes on the outskirts of the city.

What's your relationship with that person?

He is Lord Xie, my colleague

who works with me at Imperial Censor's Mansion

as a deputy censor.

Old Madam,

please let the person who found the jade pendant go.

By doing so,

you will also be letting Wanwan go.

Miss,

how did you know about

Wanwan's feelings?

Miss Wanwan told me herself.

She also wants me to convey to you

that she has already set her heart on someone,

and that person

is Jing Yao, who lives next door to the Jia family.

You were sent by Jing Yao to persuade me!

No, Old Madam.

Everything I said is true.

Guards.

Take this girl to the backyard

and lock her up!

Old Madam,

please listen to me!

What I said is true! Trust me!

Let go of me!

Old Madam,

the auspicious time is approaching.

Let go of me!

Let me out!

Wanwan,

do you have a way to let me out?

What should I do?

Are you okay?

Could it be...

the ceremony has already begun?

Brother Xie?

♫In the cold moonlight, I'm willing to go to you♫

♫In the dim worldly affairs, my heart warms for one person♫

♫I'd rather endure numerous hardships with all my courage♫

♫I won't retreat, I'll swallow the regrets♫

Miss, do you want some flowers?

My Lord, do you want some flowers?

Tonight is the Dragon Boat Lantern Festival.

Buy a bouquet of flowers for your beloved girl.

[Zuiyin Tavern]

Princess,

isn't this inappropriate?

What do you know?

If you know yourself and your enemy well, you'll never be defeated.

I want to see

what means

that Yun Zhaoyan used

to win me.

Let's go.

My Lord,

I wonder if Old Madam Jia listened to

what you said today.

Old Madam Jia loves her granddaughter very much.

We don't know

what the outcome will be.

You can't do this!

Yun Zhaoyan.

How dare you speak to me like this?

I...

No!

You can't have improper thoughts!

My Lord!

Don't touch it.

You meddling in other people's affair was one thing,

but you also got a deputy censor of my Imperial Censor's Mansion into trouble.

I didn't want this to happen either.

Who would have known that Brother Xie

happened to pass by

and picked up the jade pendant?

It's a heaven-sent match.

Isn't this a good thing?

My Lord,

now is not the time to be sarcastic.

You care about him a lot.

This is related to Wanwan.

I feel like I was the one who got Brother Xie into trouble.

It seems that what happened in Jia's Mansion

has already spread throughout the city.

These people

are all eager to seize

even the slightest advantage.

Our Imperial Censor hates

these superstitious methods the most.

Earlier, we were reminded

to be vigilant,

just to avoid the rumor from disturbing the people's minds.

But unexpectedly,

within half a day, it has already spread throughout the city.
