[Moon Love]

[Episode 12]

[Qingzhou City]

[Yun's Mansion]

Let's go flower viewing.

Let's go flower viewing.

Let's go.

A bunch of kids who made a fuss over nothing!

Thank you, my Lord,

for taking me back to the morgue.

Take it as a reward

for solving the case.

If His Lordship

can send me home every day, that would be great.

What good things are you thinking about?

Why are you giggling like that?

Nothing.

I just suddenly feel

that being able to be with you feels

even better than I thought.

I'm glad you know it.

I will work harder

to help you find Kui Ji.

I won't cause any trouble

or make you angry again.

From now on,

when you're not at Imperial Censor's Mansion

or by my side,

behave properly.

Don't ever let this kind of thing

happen again.

It's too dangerous.

Yes.

Well...

What is it?

I have…

Forget it.

My Lord.

Take care when you go back home.

[Yun's Mansion] [The morgue]

Zhaoyan.

Brother Xie.

You just came back?

You didn't come back all night.

I was worried about you,

so I came to check on you.

I'm sorry.

I caused you trouble again.

Why do you say so?

I just went back to the mansion.

I heard Bei Wu tell Xu Xian

that you took His Lordship to Jia's Mansion to save me.

I should thank you.

No.

Brother Xie, you've helped me a lot.

I have to thank you more.

We're friends.

It's only right

to help each other.

Thank you for your kindness, Brother Xie.

However,

I'd better

not trouble people around me,

especially you, Brother Xie.

So,

you have found the one,

and you want him to protect you forever?

I'm relieved

to see you're okay.

Well,

I'll go back now.

Princess.

Xie Guichen.

What do you come back so late?

Princess, you always come uninvited.

It doesn't match your noble status.

You should go back.

Give me back my handkerchief.

This is my personal belonging.

I never give it to others easily.

If you want the handkerchief back,

I'll get it washed and sent back.

Why did you come here in person?

What are you doing?

Do you think I came here

just to get the handkerchief back?

Your wound

needs some more ointment.

Otherwise, it'll be hard to heal.

Thank you.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm just being grateful.

After all, you got hurt because of me.

I'd rather

others owe me

than I owe others.

Why do you look like that?

Did you get rejected by Yun Zhaoyan again?

You eavesdropped on us?

It's so easy to guess. Do I really need to eavesdrop?

What?

You want to mock me again?

I'm more than happy.

I mean… I'm not gloating over your misfortune.

Actually, in my opinion,

your feelings towards Yun Zhaoyan

are more like guilt

than love.

You simply used her before.

Then, you found out that she was honest with you.

So, you wanted to treat her better to make it up for her.

Am I right?

Indeed, I should feel guilty for her.

Maybe

you just

treat her

as someone who's in the same circumstances as you?

In the same circumstances?

Besides,

no couples who have mutual affection

behave like you two.

Then, Princess, what do you think

a couple with mutual affection

should behave like?

At least they should be like us.

My Lord.

My Lord.

Madam Lan is such a troublemaker.

It took us a lot of effort

to clean up her mess.

The city guards searched for her all night

to catch her near the city gate.

She's now in prison.

But...

unfortunately, her accomplices escaped.

By the way, my Lord,

Jing Yao has decided

to settle down in Qingzhou.

He'll continue his old business:

opening an art workshop.

Why don't you watch

your manners now?

I can't believe you claimed to be steady and composed.

My Lord,

who am I running errands for?

I was so busy that I even caught a cold.

This is the first time

I experienced the feeling of being sick.

There is ginseng in the warehouse.

I heard it's good for the mortal world's illnesses.

As expected, after being an imperial censor in Qingzhou City for a long time,

you've become more humanlike.

Madam Lan is trying to scare people by pretending to be a god.

She didn't know that when it comes to the bluffing tricks,

you are the most...

You're right.

Foxes are best at deception.

My Lord, that's not what I meant.

My Lord.

Don't follow me.

It's not just the deceived who are sad.

Maybe so are the liars.

The person who can solve the mystery has appeared,

but when can His Lordship's emotional knots

be untied?

[Governor's Mansion]

Xiaocha.

Isn't that Qing's food?

Why hasn't it been touched?

I don't know what happened to Princess.

She went out just now,

and she locked herself in the room after she came back.

That is so strange.

No wonder it's so quiet today.

Could something trigger her

a few days ago

when we looked for a husband for her?

It doesn't seem like it.

She seems to be lovesick.

Sick?

Why didn't you take care…

Lovesick?

Who does she love?

Make it clear!

Don't run.

Then, Princess, what do you think

a couple with mutual affection

should behave like?

At least they should be like us.

The thought of being able to see His Lordship

makes a tiresome chore like cleaning

feel easier.

But

even if I have feelings for His Lordship,

would he also have feelings for me?

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

My Lord.

Who told you to do these things?

It's the Governor's order.

The Governor said

the facade of the Imperial Censor's Mansion

represents the dignity of the imperial censor.

So, we have to clean it

before patrolling today.

Gu Lang

always does these useless things.

Be more careful next time.

Be careful not to hurt other people.

Yes.

Thank you, my Lord,

for saving me.

Are you okay?

Also,

can you be more careful when you walk?

Don't always look down.

Is he concerned about me?

By the way, my Lord,

you

rarely go out of the inner hall.

Why are you

at the gate today?

That's because…

it was too noisy out the gate.

So,

I came out to have a look.

Why are you still standing out here?

I have something to tell you.

[Imperial Censor's Mansion]

They are busy with patrolling the streets.

I asked you here today

for this matter, too.

Every year, the Governor of Qingzhou City will take the lead

in patrolling the streets

and appeasing the people.

They always like to play this kind of boring gimmick.

I see.

But what does that

have anything to do with me?

Lord Guigui

got sick a few days ago.

He's still in bed and refuses to get up.

So, you have to replace him

to stay by my side.

Stay by your side?

Don't overthink.

I keep you by my side

just in the hope that you can help me find Kui Ji.

My Lord,

how about

I get sick again?

I can have some soup.

Then,

I can be by your side

and wait for Kui Ji to possess me.

That way…

I can sleep by your side.

No need.

In the future,

there will be a chance for us to find out the truth.

Let's go.

Let's get prepared first.

What should we prepare?

My Lord.

Raise your arms.

As my personal attendant,

remember to follow me closely

when we patrol the streets later.

If we get separated,

and you meet a renegade immortal,

it won't be as simple as losing dignity.

I understand.

Is there anything else I need to do?

If there's strong light,

you have to hold an umbrella for me.

The scorching sun

is annoying.

In my opinion,

although you seem to take everything in stride,

you actually have

your own dislikes and preferences.

Then, this way, you

are no different

from a mortal.

As God Taiyin,

how can I be the same as a mortal?

You look

exceptionally

like a mortal nobleman today.

I'm really nervous

whenever I think of patrolling with you later.

If you're afraid,

put your hand

here.

Let's go.

Hello, everyone.

Governor.

Mr. Governor.

[Good Governance][Social Harmony]

Mr. Governor.

Imperial Censor.

My Lord.

The people are so enthusiastic.

Just smile a little.

Is it necessary?

Yes.

Imperial Censor.

Okay.

My Lord.

I told you

to follow me closely.

Let's go.

Those Eyes of Bane

are really with Yun Zhaoyan.

Xie Guichen is of some use after all.

Yun Zhaoyan. Ren Shique.

Just wait.

The real torment those eyes will bring

has just begun.

Today,

I troubled you again.

As my personal attendant,

protecting you

is just what I should do.

But

many people

saw you holding my hand.

That way…

When did I ever care about what others think?

I'm thirsty.

If you really feel guilty,

go get me a cup of tea.

♫It's hard to distinguish what's good and what's evil, and it's hard to love or hate someone♫

♫We meet and part, coming to nothing♫

♫Regardless of the chaos and fate♫

♫I only love you with deep affection♫

Will His Lordship think that I'm into him?

I...

I was

distracted.

I was thinking about how you helped me out of a tight spot,

so I didn't pay attention to my steps.

Now…

I'm not thirsty anymore.

Y-You can go back now.

Well,

rest early.

I'm leaving.

I saw everything just now.

What did you see?

Miss Zhaoyan

looked so shy.

You're still sick, so you must be mistaken.

Actually, I always think

Miss Zhaoyan is quite pitiful.

She doesn't look normal,

but she's kind

and interesting.

If someone could always take care of her

in Qingzhou City,

what a great thing it would be.

On most days,

I thought you just liked

teasing Miss Zhaoyan.

Now that I think about it,

you've been different since long ago.

You never cared about anyone,

but Miss Zhaoyan could always piss you off.

What's interesting is

no matter how you alienated her,

Miss Zhaoyan seemed to be invincible.

Actually, I quite like Miss Zhaoyan.

I always felt

you looked so much like a human

when you were bickering with her.

Now that I have to be a human,

isn't it better for me to behave more humanly?

Yes.

There's nothing wrong with being a human.

But my Lord,

when you fell into the mortal world voluntarily back then,

you did it out of anger and impulse.

The Heaven Emperor was furious with your behavior.

I wonder

if he'll allow you to stay in the mortal world for long.

Heavenly Realm.

Human world.

I wish

I was born a mortal.

My Lord.

You may leave.

Guichen!

Master.

When Ren Shique was on patrol,

I saw Yun Zhaoyan.

I didn't expect that ordinary-looking woman

to turn out to be kind of special.

No wonder not only does Ren Shique care about her so much,

but my disciple is also bewitched.

She made both of you

be willing to do anything for her.

Master.

Zhaoyan…

She is a kind girl.

Ridiculous!

Our mission

is to uphold justice in heaven and earth.

But you forgot everything

because of your personal feelings.

You trust others so easily.

You really disappoint me!

Maybe

I treated you too well

and made you forget what you were like before.

Master.

I never forgot

you saved me,

who was lonely and helpless ten years ago,

and taught me martial arts.

That's why I'm still alive today.

But Master,

what does Zhaoyan

have to do with your so-called justice?

I have never seen your face clearly.

Neither do I know

what you asked me to investigate Ren Shique and Yun Zhaoyan

for.

Since you're questioning me now,

I'll do

the rest myself.

You're really good at concealing your whereabouts

and being a spy.

Why do you say so?

You often come in here late at night.

Do you think I know nothing?

I came here

I have my own reasons to be here.

Why did you do that?

I did it for someone.

For whom?

Please forgive me, my Lord.

I can't reveal his identity.

I don't even know

what his real identity is.

Aren't you afraid of

dying in the Imperial Censor's Mansion for this person?

If you want to kill me,

just do it.

Go.

Thank you, my Lord.

How do you want to deal with Deputy Censor Xie?

Tell him not to leave the Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Use Xie Guichen as bait

to lure out the mastermind

and see what that person really wants to do.

Could it be the Heaven Emperor?

His Lordship's handwriting

is as good-looking as his looks.

Kui Ji.

You finally showed up.

What's wrong?

Just now,

I met Kui Ji.

Did she

say anything?

She said back then, she was bewitched by someone,

and her mind was manipulated.

It wasn't her intention

to take your eyes.

Then, who was that person?

I asked her several times,

but she refused to tell me that person's name.

However, she said

she hoped you could live in peace.

Judging from her expression,

she was indeed terrified.

Mother.

Why are you sad about Father again?

No.

I'm not sad.

But I clearly heard what you're thinking.

You are definitely sad.

Because of fear,

she's afraid to tell the truth.

And yet she wanted me to live in peace?

Who knows

if this is an excuse for her guilty conscience?

My Lord.

Forget it.

Maybe the truth I want to know

will make me suffer more.

My Lord,

will you trust me for once?

I think

Kui Ji has her reasons.

Looking into her eyes,

she was full of concern for you.

She had no malice at all.

She also reminded you

that there was danger around you.

If she really wanted to hurt you,

why did she ask me to remind you?

Do you really think those simple words

can dispel my grudges for the past ten years?

But...

didn't you also

suspect that

taking your eyes was not Kui Ji's intention?

That's why you wanted me to ask about the truth, isn't it?

If that's not the truth,

why didn't she tell me back then?

It seems

she doesn't care about my hatred towards her.

Nor does she care about

the agony I've suffered

for the past ten years.

It might be, as she said,

that there might be

some unknown danger?

My Lord.

I know you have been

confused and wronged these years,

but you couldn't tell anyone.

You said

I couldn't understand your pain.

But I want to tell you

that I can relate to you.

Because

I spent the same ten years with you.

Why can't you trust her once?

Just like you trusted me.

You were the one

who protected me before.

From now on,

let me protect you instead.

After all,

I have your extraordinary eyes.

With my eyes,

you can see so many horrible things.

How can you still smile?

If I were you,

I would rather not be able to see

or hear.

My Lord.

This time,

you don't have to listen

or look.

Let me protect you.

My Lord.

Are you feeling better?

I'm fine.

But you don't look well.

Kanxu.

The emotional knots that have been bothering me for over ten years

have finally come to an end.

Are you talking about Kui Ji?

Did she appear?

She told Yun Zhaoyan

that she didn't mean to take my eyes.

She was bewitched.

That's why she did the thing

that made her regret so much.

You mean

someone bewitched Kui Ji?

She refused to say

who the one who bewitched her was, no matter what.

Looks like we need to go back to the Heavenly Palace

if we really want to know the truth about this matter.

Back to the Heavenly Palace?

Are you monitoring Ren Shique?

Is he your target?

Whether he is or not doesn't matter.

The Imperial Censor already knew I was monitoring him.

I will leave the Imperial Censor's Mansion soon.

I'm afraid

I won't return to Qingzhou anymore.

Don't worry.

Based on what I know about Ren Shique,

he is

extremely arrogant.

I think he will keep you in the Imperial Censor's Mansion

and torture you slowly.

If you're afraid that you have nowhere to go,

you can come to the Governor's Mansion.

You'll be warmly welcome at our place.

I can give you

that sense of security.

Security.

Just based on our short contact,

you trust me and believe that I'm a good person?

I trust you.

Trust me?

My Lord.

Yun Zhaoyan.

How long do you want to stay here in the Imperial Censor's Mansion?

No.

I told you I would protect you.

I must keep my promise.

From now on,

wherever you are,

I will be there.

You can't get any more

useful information from Kui Ji.

In your opinion,

what's the use

for me to keep you?

But...

Of course I'm useful.

I have your eyes.

After all,

I'm an exceptional talent in Qingzhou City.

Well,

the Qingbin Warehouse can't operate smoothly without me.

I also took care of

the plants.

They

don't want me to leave, either.

What else?

I told you,

I'd listen

and look in your place.

You can't live without me, either.

Besides...

I mean,

I just want to stay by your side.

My Lord, what do you mean?

I don't want to leave.

I have nowhere else to go

other than this place.

I mean,

take the money

and renovate the morgue

inside and out.

Since

you regard that shabby place

as your home,

it should at least look like a home.

This is your monthly salary.

My…

My Lord, do you mean...

I can stay in the Imperial Censor's Mansion?

Yun Zhaoyan.

Now, my eyes are on you.

My eyes

are unique in the heaven and on the earth.

So naturally,

you're a precious person in the mortal world.

From now on,

stay in Qingzhou City.

[Xie Guichen]

Dear deities,

no matter who of you hears my prayer,

please bless His Lordship to get over his emotional knots

and become happy every day.

Moon God, may you bless me, Gu Qing.

My love journey has been uneventful lately.

Hope it can continue in the future.

Look, Princess.

Isn't that Yun Zhaoyan?

Whose name did you write?

Princess.

What a coincidence.

You're here, too?

Whose name did you write?

Xie Guichen.

Yun Zhaoyan, you've been a coward since you were young.

It seems that in terms of marriage,

you'll lag behind me, too.

Of course. Naturally, I can't beat you in anything.

By the way,

I'm sorry about

about the bronze mirror before.

I had no choice.

Of course it was your fault.

But…

I don't think you did it on purpose.

You're such a coward,

yet you barged into the Governor's Mansion.

You must have had a reason.

I'll make myself accept

your apology.

[Governor's Mansion]

After all the days I spent hunting,

I finally had a good sleep.

In Qingzhou City, Ren Shique could take care of the business affairs

and Qing the family affairs. I'm not even needed.

No.

If this goes on, I'll be sidelined.

Where is my dignity as the City Governor?

Am I right, Ding?

Governor.

Recently, many strange cases have been solved in Qingzhou City.

It's a good thing that everyone should celebrate.

Why don't we

bring forward the the annual Street Patrol and Resident Visits

to today?

By then, you can also...

Yes! Go, now.

Ask everyone to get it done.

I

am going to patrol the streets and visit the people.

Yes.

Xiaocha.

Isn't that Qing's food?

Why hasn't it been touched?
