[Moon Love]

[Episode 8]

[The Moon at the First Quarter]

My Lord.

Why are you here?

So ugly.

I must be drunk.

My Lord, you cannot see me.

My Lord.

Now that you've sobered up,

you should go back early.

Thank you

for helping me sober up.

Just now in the yard,

I said something stupid.

I said those words

to make you feel better.

From now on,

don't do such stupid things again

to comfort me.

What you need to do

is tell me Kui Ji's replies

word for word.

I got it.

When you arrive at Imperial Censor's Mansion tomorrow,

come to me first.

I already have a job that suits you the best.

Really?

Is this a blessing in disguise?

I didn't expect that one day

I could get a job

because of the renegade immortal.

And I also didn't expect

that you would be my amulet.

Now your amulet

is closer to you.

In the future,

you need to make full use of your talent.

I will.

My Lord.

I remember

the staff in Imperial Censor's Mansion

are paid to work.

Have I become

a member of the staff of Imperial Censor's Mansion?

Yun Zhaoyan.

Don't push your luck.

I don't charge you

for being your amulet.

If you want to be paid,

I'll also charge you.

The fees

will be deducted from your wages.

It's useless for you to feel unhappy about it.

After all,

I'm the only one in the world

who's able

to protect you.

But

in the world,

only I can see Kui Ji.

I am also the only one in the world

who you really need.

Without me,

you'll have to spend

the rest of your life hiding yourself.

But without you,

I'll just feel a little regret.

By the way, My Lord.

Did you

see something just now?

I...

You were too drunk.

I didn't see anything.

To my surprise,

His Lordship

let me be his personal attendant so soon.

Whenever His Lordship comes,

the moon becomes brighter.

Now your amulet

is closer to you.

In the future,

you need to make full use of your talent.

With His Lordship,

I don't have to be afraid of the renegade immortals.

How I wish he could be with me all the time.

Yun Zhaoyan.

You need to be aware

that His Lordship is so nice to you

because he hopes that you'll find Kui Ji for him.

Don't think too much.

Come on, be clear-minded.

[Yun's Mansion] [Morgue]

Ma'am.

Deputy Censor Xie.

It's said

that you and Yun Zhaoyan are colleagues now.

Ma'am.

Is Zhaoyan

inside now?

She left early in the morning and looked very happy.

She also said

she had finally found a place

where she could stay without feeling worried.

Deputy Censor Xie.

Please

take good care of that girl from now on.

Take care of her?

Of course I will.

She looks like an emotional girl

but sometimes I feel sorry for her.

She often says

there are many scary things following her.

Scary things following her?

Now I'm one from Imperial Censor's Mansion.

How dare you still follow me?

[Huixin]

But now,

it's not a good time to listen to your story.

Stop following me.

Go away.

Zhaoyan.

Are you alright?

Brother Xie.

I'm fine.

You...

Who were you talking to?

Why were you so flustered?

Brother Xie, don't worry.

I was absent-minded.

Tell me the truth.

Are there people threatening you?

Yes.

I knew it.

You always look flustered

and anxious.

When you go back to the morgue,

you often take a detour.

Is it all because you're under their threats?

Yes.

Why didn't you tell me this earlier?

Do those people

have something to do with His Lordship?

Actually,

yes.

Brother Xie.

Why are you asking me about these things?

I went to see you this morning.

Ms. Long said

you were always followed by some weird people.

That's why I'm asking.

Zhaoyan.

What are you afraid of?

Just some

renegade immortals who are wandering in the mortal world.

They always pester me.

Renegade immortals?

What are renegade immortals?

They are immortals

who did something wrong

and were stripped of their spirit bones.

So,

people can't see them.

Then...

They...

What do they look like?

They...

Actually,

there is one renegade immortal

standing beside you now.

Zhaoyan.

What are you afraid of?

Well...

Some...

Some weirdos.

Did you report this to the police?

It's no use reporting this to the police.

I now work in Imperial Censor's Mansion.

I'm afraid

things are not as simple as you think.

However,

I seem to have found

the way to get rid of them.

Brother Xie, don’t worry.

Is your way

to be near His Lordship?

How did you know?

Yes, it is.

His Lordship

is very special to me.

Zhaoyan.

Actually,

if you need anything,

I can help you.

Thank you, Brother Xie.

As I expected,

there're more good people than bad people in Qingzhou City.

You call me Brother Xie.

It's my pleasure to help you.

You may rest assured

that I won't charge you for anything.

I know you won't.

Let's go.

Sir.

It's said

this thing can turn one's grey hairs into black hairs, right?

Yes.

But

you don't have grey hairs.

Yes, I do.

Look.

Look.

Here.

Where?

Here.

Take a closer look.

Where are your grey hairs?

Here.

Well.

I have to report this to His Lordship.

Yun Zhaoyan and Xie Guichen were walking together?

What does it have to do with me?

But you care about it so much that you don't even want to drink tea.

My Lord.

What is the thing you're wearing on your head?

It's too fancy.

It's a hairpin.

My Lord.

Didn't you lose your sight?

I can feel everything in the world.

Why are you here?

I'm on duty.

You asked me

to be your personal attendant last night.

I should be beside you at any time.

So you do remember what your job is in Imperial Censor's Mansion.

To do what you asked me to do

is my top priority.

My Lord.

Please tell me what I can do now

as your personal attendant?

I now think

you're not suitable

to be my personal attendant.

I've found you a better position.

A better position?

Where will I be working then?

In the Qingbin Warehouse.

Qingbing Warehouse?

It sounds like

a clean and cool place.

Guigui.

Take her there.

Yes.

[Qingbin Warehouse]

[Restricted Area]

This...

Isn't this place an ordinary warehouse?

This used to be an armory of Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Weapons of different dynasties are stored here.

Then all wars ended and the country has been at peace.

The weapons have been stored here

and not used for many years.

And they haven't been cleaned for long years.

So this place

looks a bit messy.

Well.

What is the job His Lordship assigned me to?

His Lordship just said

he appointed you custodian of Qingbin Warehouse in Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Custodian?

It sounds like a menial job.

The daily duties of a custodian

include arranging these weapons

and guarding them.

Got it.

We'll leave this to you from now on.

Is she there now?

Miss Zhaoyan seemed a little disappointed.

Actually, I also think

it's a bit inappropriate

to let a girl do that work.

Really?

But I think

she'll be doing well in Qingbin Warehouse.

Working there is better than being sent to the exterior hall.

Lord Xie's place?

Princess.

[Invitation]

This is an invitation letter for the Dragon Boat Lantern Festival.

All the dignitaries in the city will go there.

The lantern festival will be a wonderful occasion.

Besides,

not everyone can go.

You escorted me home the other day.

I said I would return the favor.

So this is my way

to return the favor.

Thank you, Princess.

Princess.

When will the Dragon Boat Lantern Festival

be held?

It starts at 7 p.m. the day after tomorrow.

But we can meet earlier

and go try the desserts at Rongxing Bakery.

Got it.

That's it?

Shouldn't we talk about

where to meet?

We?

Why should we meet?

As I said,

I gave you the gift to return the favor.

It means I want you to go to the festival with me.

Only in this way can I show my sincerity.

You mean

if I don't go with you,

you will

take back this invitation.

Not really.

But

the lantern festival is such an important event.

I'm the only one

who is good enough to go with you there.

You don't have to go with me.

I feel your sincerity in the invitation.

It's enough.

Thank you for your invitation.

I'm on an errand.

See you.

[Qingzhou City]

Miss Zhaoyan.

His Lordship is going on night patrol.

Why are you following him all the time?

I...

I just want to stay with His Lordship a little longer.

Then no renegade immortals will come to me.

Help!

Help!

Help!

Miss.

What's wrong?

It seems...

It seems something

is following me.

There's nothing.

My Lord.

What?

There's an renegade immortal.

Renegade immortal?

What's wrong?

Greetings, My Lord.

I heard some noise here.

What happened?

She

fell down just now.

When I was doing stocktaking at Xiaoxiang Pavilion,

I found an extra Buyao on the ground.

I picked it up

and then weird things started to happen one by one.

On my way home,

I felt

someone had been stalking me.

Deputy Censor Xie.

Take this lady to the clinic first.

Guigui.

You stay here for now.

I'll go forward and have a look.

My Lord.

What about me?

I'm scared.

I'm with you. What are you scared of?

Come with me.

Thank you, My Lord.

Zhaoyan.

It's not safe on the streets tonight.

Be careful.

Thank you.

Brother Xie.

Deputy Censor Xie.

Make sure the lady

is safe and sound tonight.

So that no more trouble will happen.

Why do you call Xie so many times every day?

Let's go right now.

He said he would let me go with him.

Why did he leave me and go investigate the case alone?

I...

I...

I'm warning you.

I'm now

working for Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Devils, go away.

Misfortunes, go away.

Renegade immortals,

stay away from me now.

Stay away from me.

It's a Buyao.

It looks dear and exquisite.

♫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♫

My Lord.

Thank God you came.

♫Regardless of the chaos and fate♫

♫I only love you with deep affection♫

It's all right now.

♫I'm a lonely person and tears trickle down my face♫

Don't be afraid.

♫I dare not face so much sorrow♫

♫Puzzled, I'm too sad to play the guqin under the moon♫

♫I want to hear you talk about romantic things♫

I'm sorry, My Lord.

Just now,

I was acting improperly.

Then you shouldn't have done that.

I didn't mean to.

When I was walking just now,

I picked up a Buyao.

Then a renegade immortal kept chasing me.

Just now,

I thought I was going to be killed.

When I saw you,

I couldn't help but...

Alright.

You're fine now.

Then...

My Lord,

Can you help me

solve the Buyao problem?

Fine.

What do you want me to do?

[Goodness of Nature]

[Qi's Mansion]

The character "Qi" is inscribed on the Buyao.

[Qi]

There is only one Qi family in Qingzhou City.

The wife of the master of the Qi family

also passed away over ten years ago.

This is the right place.

The Qi family

runs pawnshops in the city.

The Qi family is very rich.

Let's go and ask.

Maybe we just need to

return the Buyao and the problem will be solved.

Yun Zhaoyan.

You always said

you were scared of the renegade immortals

but you always interfered

in their business.

I really don't understand this.

I'm afraid

the renegade immortals

will pester other people of Qingzhou City apart from me.

Others in the city will definitely be more scared of them than am I.

Alright.

Before you go in,

remember to

get yourself well-dressed.

After all,

you now work for Imperial Censor's Mansion.

Well-dressed?

I...

My Lord.

You can see me?

You're always impulsive

and you always look messy.

I guess

you look messy now.

[Mourn]

[Mr. Qi]

What can I do

for you?

This is the imperial censor.

I'm sure you know about him.

Greetings, My Lord.

[Mourn]

You always

put the memorial tablets

in the main hall?

My wife and I

were deeply in love.

After my wife passed away,

I swore

that I would never marry anyone else.

And I put her memorial tablet

in the main hall.

[Memorial Tablet of My Beloved Wife Qi Huixin]

My wife

was born in February.

And she died on February 29.

Instead of paying tribute to her every four years,

I put her memorial tablet to let her spirit be here forever.

[Mourn]

So I can often think of her.

Mr. Qi,

My condolences.

We're here

to ask

if this belonged to your late wife.

Well...

Why does Mr. Qi

have a woman’s handkerchief on him?

Oh, yes.

It belonged to my late wife.

Yun Zhaoyan.

What are you doing?

Looks like Mr. Qi

is not familiar with this.

Bye.

[Mourn]

She's so weird.

Honey.

Why are you so late? What took you so long?

Two people from Imperial Censor's Mansion came

and asked about that woman.

Her again?

She's been dead for many years.

[Rou]

Thanks to her,

I have gained a good reputation for being a good widower.

If I didn't have that reputation,

our pawn business in Qingzhou City

wouldn't be doing so well.

You business is indeed doing well.

But you still can't let me be your lawfully wedded wife.

I'm just your lover.

All these years,

you've had a hard time.

How are you going to make up to me?

How do you want me to make up to you?

Do you remember

the Buyao your late wife used to wear when she was alive?

That was a dowry of hers.

When I was her maid,

I heard that the Tian-tsui on that Buyao was rare and exquisite.

I saw it the other day.

I put it on and went outside.

But

I lost it accidentally.

Will you blame me?

Did this belong to your late wife?

You mean

you lost that Tian-tsui Buyao.

Yes.

This is tricky.

What?

You said you would make up to me just now.

I just lost the Buyao. Why do you think it's a big deal?

Honey.

Honey.

So,

what are you going to do with the Buyao?

I thought

I should return the Buyao to the owner's husband

so the Buyao would remind him of his late wife.

Then she'll get over it.

I didn't expect

that her husband didn't seem to miss her.

These are all your guesses.

Anyway,

I won't mess around with you anymore.

After today's trip,

I now think Mr. Qi is really strange.

He made everyone believe

he loves his late wife very much.

However,

he hid a bright-colored handkerchief on him.

That handkerchief

must belong to a woman.

You mean...

My Lord.

Let's go there again.

Didn't you hear what I said?

But My Lord.

I think

We should go there again.

My Lord.

The expression on your face now

is even scarier than a renegade immortal's.

My Lord.

You can see my face?

My Lord.

You've regained your sight, right?

You've really regained your sight?

My Lord.

You can really see me,

right?

Yes.

And you look ugly.

Great.

My Lord.

You've regained your sight.

So,

My Lord,

you've been fooling me for a long time.

Yes.

I've been fooling you.

What can you do about it?

I feel guilty

so I've always wanted to help you find Kui Ji.

You should

help me find Kui Ji as soon as possible.

How can you just take my help for granted.

I thought

immortals don't lie.

You fooled me for so long.

You need to make it up to me.

So you should go to Qi's Mansion with me again.

You want to get yourself into trouble again?

My Lord.

You're so capricious

and good at lying.

You're like a renegade immortal.

I still need to walk a long distance

before I can arrive at the morgue.

If some renegade immortal

comes to me,

I'll be terrified.

Don't come to me.

Don't come to me.

Are you feeling cold?

Brother Xie.

Why are you back on your own?

Luckily, I was fast enough

to catch up with you.

So,

you came to find me?

I

heard something bad had happened to you.

I was worried that it was not safe for you to go home alone.

So...

So I came to see you.

How are you?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Just some scratches.

I'm used to having them.

By the way,

has Pingting recovered from her injury?

She's much better now.

But

are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I saw nothing.

Zhaoyan.

Do you

like watching lanterns?

Yes.

But I rarely go to festivals or celebrations.

Well,

do you want to go to the lantern festival?

With you?

Yes.

But I may not be able to stay long.

I'm afraid I'll scream suddenly

or

run away.

Sound like you're going to the execution ground.

Don't worry.

I'll be with you.

You won't have to be afraid of anything.

Let's go.

[Qingzhou City]

You

know her?

She's Mr. Qi's...

Fine.

I'll follow her for you.

[Xiaoxiang Pavilion]

Did you

find a Tian-tsui Buyao

which looks expensive?

Buyao?

Let me help you look for it.

It's just a Buyao.

That handkerchief

seems to be the one I saw on Mr. Qi.

We didn't find

the Tian-tsui Buyao you talked about.

It's a rare thing.

It's something we can see only once in a century.

If you lost it,

that would be such a pity.

Fine.

I'll go to another shop and look for it.

Maybe I lost it somewhere else.

Bye, Miss Rou.

Could it be that

she was killed by her husband?

Walk properly.

My Lord,

I still think

Brother Xie and others are in danger.

Instead of worrying about others,

you should worry about yourself.

I know.

But

ordinary people don't know there're renegade immortals around.

They will be scared by them.

So,

you didn't tell Xie Guichen

about your psychic power?

I

didn't dare to tell him about it.

You should tell him about it

and see

if he will still protect you

the way he's protecting you now.

So,

only you're able to protect me now.

You've realized this. Good for you.

[Qi's Mansion]

Since you have found the owner of the Buyao,

why didn't you return it to him directly?

Renegade immortals are scary.

I didn't expect

the evil thoughts of some people can be scarier.

What?

You think

Mr. Qi is suspicious?

That long-haired renegade immortal

values this so much.

This must be her precious thing when she was alive.

Mr. Qi said

he loved his late wife so much.

If so, he should have recognized this at the first sight of it.

You're argument

is fallacious.

My argument is based on human nature.

You have no idea how much

that long-haired renegade immortal values this.

Her face looked like this.

But she was still following me.

Alright.

Stop impersonating her.

Oh.

You can't see me.

She's always like this.

She keeps pestering me.

Just like this.

Alright.

I believe you.

It's good that you believe me.

Now

you're with me.

I feel safe.

Judging from your behaviors in the Qi Mansion just now,

you didn't look afraid.

My Lord.

You can definitely see me,

right?

Yes.

And you look ugly.

Great.

My Lord, you've regained your sight.
