Episode 4

26

Lanzhi.

27

Sir.

28

Lanzhi, you solved two cases recently,

29

but I haven't congratulated you.

30

Sir, it's the result of team work. I can't take the credit.

31

Lanzhi, I heard that you have made great contributions in the outskirts of Annan.

32

It was Empress's idea to call you back to Luoyang.

33

After you finish your probation period here at the Louyang Administration Court and get familiar with the situation,

34

you will serve at the Court of Judicature and Revision.

35

You will have the authority to talk to the Empress.

36

Empress made the order to arrest Pei Xianya, didn't she?

37

But what you did this time was a bit unfriendly.

38

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

39

Sir, the opium case was complicated.

40

Please forgive me if I did something wrong.

41

Lanzhi, you have the reason to do things in your way.

42

But remember to take care of me when you serve at Court of Judicature and Revision.

43

Remember me.

44

Sir, you and I are both officials rendering service to Emperor and Empress.

45

We should make concerted efforts.

46

Today is the court trial for Pei Xianya. He made and trafficked drugs, and murdered Ru Yue.

47

Please collaborate the Three Judicial Ministries and ensure justice.

48

Surely...

49

Miss Zhang, the madam of Qianduan Brothel,

50

how did you go about in smuggling opium under the orders of Pei Xianya?

51

And how did you murder the dancer Ru Yue?

52

Tell me the truth quickly.

53

Please forgive me, Sir! Please forgive me!

54

I'll tell you the truth. I'll tell you all.

55

For the opium business, I just did some legwork.

56

All the revenue must be handed to...Young Lord Pei.

57

Bullshit!

58

Young Lord and Ru Yue were a couple.

59

But Ru Yue knew nothing about the opium smuggling.

60

Be quick.

61

This way please.

62

Please.

63

Here.

64

Young Lord, you are engaged with Infanta Minghui and had planned to leave Ru Yue.

65

She also have found out about the opium trafficking.

66

So, you decided to kill Ru Yue.

67

For the succeeding events...

68

...he did them all!

69

Nonsense! Bullshit!

70

Summon Liu Er, the boss of the fragrance store.

71

Sir, allow me to state these. Young Lord Xianya and I were acquaintances.

72

I always buy opium secretly from Qianduan Brothel because of business reasons.

73

Young Lord Xianya had old wounds,

74

and he needed to rely on opium to relieve his pain.

75

Young Lord Xianya came to my store that day.

76

This is much stronger than the normal one.

77

You have to be cautious when selling this.

78

How strong can it be?

79

Hell-like illusions. Can kill people without detection.

80

Lies...all are lies!

81

Tell me, who send you here?

82

You are making things up and inciting trouble!

83

No, sir!

84

Sir, please keep to justice!

85

This kind of opium can make your mind addled and

86

accelerate your heartbeat if you overdose.

87

It can kill people.

88

Sir, I don't dare to lie.

89

Coroner.

90

Sir, Ru Yue indeed died just like that.

91

Now that we have witnesses and material evidences,

92

the court will make reconsideration and resume the public trial another day.

93

Duan Xiaoyu is innocent and is being release today.

94

Thanks, Sir.

95

-Jailer.

- I'm here.

96

Take suspect Pei Xianya back to prison.

97

Yes, Sir!

98

Release me! Release me!

99

Let go!

100

[Ye Mansion]

101

Shi Tou.

102

Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu.

103

Shi Tou.

104

The truth came out!

105

That's so great! I'm kneeling to you!

106

You saved Xiaoyu's life. You are our second parents.

107

Okay, stand up.

108

He's here slacking off and sleeping while it's still morning?

109

He was helping me feed the horses earlier.

110

Let's give him a name first.

111

You happily sleep like a wood every day.

112

Let me call you Mu Le (Wood Happy) then.

113

Such a good name!

114

Mu Le.

115

Mu Le. Le.

116

Smile to me.

117

Call me Miss.

118

Mu Le, call her Miss.

119

This is the rule here.

120

It's your honor to be the domestic servant here.

121

Don't be unhappy. You have to obey the rule.

122

It's okay.

123

He got stung by this.

124

Give it to me.

125

Don't flaunt your superiority, Miss.

126

Xianya.

127

Infanta.

128

Why are you here?

129

Empress has already known my case.

130

Even my father and mother can't come to see me.

131

How can you be here?

132

Your father and mother can't come to see you.

133

But my brother had canceled our engagement after he knew this.

134

I am just a stranger to you now.

135

Who cares about whether I come or not?

136

It seems that Prince Yu canceled our engagement

137

is not a bad decision.

138

I know that you definitely didn't smuggle Opium.

139

Minister of Education is a high-ranking official. You don't have to risk doing this.

140

But,

141

but I want to know

142

are you connected with the death of that dancer Ru Yue?

143

Is it that important to you if I killed her?

144

Yes, it does.

145

I want to know if I love a wrong man.

146

I need to know that.

147

I did have a relationship with Ru Yue.

148

Beauty.

149

- What are you doing?

- Let me have a kiss.

150

- Let me go!

- Let her go. Release her!

151

Who are you?

152

Quickly go.

153

- Are you okay?

- I'm okay.

154

Thank you for saving me.

155

But people like you seldom come to a place like this.

156

Go back quickly.

157

Go back quickly?

158

Do I have any difference with them?

159

Yes, you do. You are noble and gentle.

160

You are different with them.

161

But since we fell in love with each other, I have separated from her.

162

Her death had nothing to do with me.

163

I understand. I know.

164

Someone wants to frame you.

165

I won't sit by. I have to save you and get you out of here.

166

Infanta,

167

don't be silly.

168

Don't worry. I have my plan.

169

Step aside.

170

Step aside.

171

Who is this?

172

How dare you! This is Infanta Minghui.

173

Who dares to impede her?

174

Suspect Pei Xianya disobeyed national laws and moral codes,

175

smuggled foreign drugs, made poisonous fragrances to commit murder.

176

Testimony and physical evidences are here now.

177

Sir, your witnesses are not enough yet. You can't pronounce judgment.

178

Infanta Minghui from Prince Yu Mansion.

179

Please stand up, Infanta.

180

Sir, I came today not to disturb the sentencing of your case,

181

but for my fiance.

182

He is a good man. He never violated the law.

183

Please continue trying your case.

184

Okay.

185

Pei Xianya smuggled drugs and murdered Ru Yue.

186

What do you want to say, Infanta?

187

Do you have any hard evidence of him smuggling drugs and creating poison?

188

Of course. The people kneeling are Madam Zhang and Liu Er, the brothel procuress and boss of the fragrance shop, respectively.

189

They are the witnesses of this case.

190

They both testified that Pei Xianya made and smuggled opium.

191

A verbal statement is nothing.

192

How can you prove that they didn't colluded and framed my fiance?

193

- I dare not do such a thing...

- I don't dare do that, Sir!

194

I don't dare to, Sir!

195

Sir, I think that even though you have witnesses,

196

there is still a lot of doubts in this case.

197

I heard that the night when Shen Da was caught,

198

it was a man with iron mask who traded with him.

199

This man was so cautious when doing the trade that he was afraid of being recognized,

200

how then could he be so silly to wrote his name on Liu Er's account book?

201

As for the dancer Ru Yue's death,

202

he was totally framed.

203

Infanta, why do you say so?

204

Killing someone needs motivation.

205

Xianya was good to Ru Yue when she was alive,

206

and he promised to help her get out of the brothel after our wedding.

207

I have already approved this.

208

Why did he want to kill her given that they were in such a good relationship?

209

I know you are doubting whether my words are true or not,

210

or you are thinking that I've brought shame to the royal family.

211

Actually, I hesitated before I came here,

212

but I have to come after giving it much thought.

213

I can't see my love being wronged and do nothing for him.

214

If I don't come to help him, then I am the one who killed him.

215

Infanta.

216

Officer Zhao, I know you.

217

You are the censor constable sent by Empress to Luoyang.

218

If you have anymore evidence to destroy Xianya, take them out.

219

Timing and Translation provided by the Tang Yamen Team at viki.com

220

Xianya, I told you before. I will get you out.

221

Infanta.

222

I never thought this kind of thing can happen.

223

I never thought that the case will turn out like this.

224

Minghui was still a little girl when I saw her.

225

Unexpectedly, she has developed such strong decisiveness and imposing manner.

226

What a pity, she is a girl.

227

She has to be a wife sooner or later.

228

I can't make her work for me.

229

What? Did she disturb your plan?

230

Actually, she provided me help.

231

Okay, keep going. Trim the sails.

232

Yes.

233

Your Highness.

234

Go ahead. Lanzhi is our man.

235

I just got the message.

236

Emperor had another headache. The State Preceptor gave him the pill again.

237

Ridiculous!

238

Even doctors can do nothing.

239

His pill can cure him then?!

240

How can it be?

241

Indeed. This news has spread all over Luoyang.

242

Everyone says that Infanta Minghui has affection and faith.

243

But Xianya is a bad guy.

244

This has something to do with affection.

245

Let alone others, even her brother Prince Yu can do nothing.

246

I heard that three days later, they will get married.

247

Yuan'an, listen to my words.

248

A girl—

249

I'm leaving!

250

Yuan'an!

251

Sister, you are here.

252

Sister.

253

Sister, what's the update on that matter I asked you to help me before?

254

I am here for that.

255

Then...

256

Really? Sit down, my sister.

257

What do you think, sister?

258

You were considerate. That is a nice man.

259

Please wait after I discuss it with my husband and I will reply.

260

That's okay.

261

Have some tea, my sister.

262

We will be getting married a few days from now.

263

Why are you rushing to see me?

264

You mentioned a thing to me at this place.

265

Do you still remember?

266

Nine Divine Beads, the national treasure.

267

Exactly.

268

Actually, I did get one bead because of good luck.

269

But I didn't tell you

270

because we were not lovers yet. I didn't fully trust you.

271

After so many things,

272

I am sure that you are my true love.

273

I have nothing to pay you back, hence,

274

I've decided to give you this Divine Bead

275

as our love token to show you my love.

276

So, the ones they were looking for is this one.

277

My hard work paid off.

278

I finally got this Divine Bead.

279

What do I do next?

280

Will I really marry Xianya?

281

Why are you so distracted?

282

And your sword dance is disorganized.

283

- Do you have any trouble around you?

- None.

284

Is it because this sword is not suitable for you?

285

No. The sword you gave to me is the most suitable one for me.

286

Since you are already here. Why are you leaving now?

287

I will get married two days from now.

288

We may never have a chance to do sword dancing in the tune of a flute like this next time.

289

Infanta.

290

Infanta. Young Lord Xianya is immoral and is not faithful to his lover.

291

He previously had an affair with a dancer,

292

but still agreed to—

293

Shut up!

294

Is that something a servant can say?

295

He is not good enough for you.

296

He is not good enough for me.

297

What can you do for me?

298

My Infanta is gentle and quiet.

299

Although I am a slave,

300

we grew up together.

301

She never look down upon me.

302

Having such a good Infanta,

303

shouldn't he introduce her to us when we get back?

304

After we win the battle,

305

we have to see you marry your Infanta and attend your wedding.

306

Right! Attend your wedding banquet!

307

My wedding banquet, okay.

308

- My wedding banquet.

- Bottoms up.

309

Timing and Translation provided by the Tang Yamen Team at viki.com

310

Young Master, Officer Zhao Lanzhi is here to see you.

311

Let him in.

312

Yes.

313

Big Brother, we haven't seen each other only for a few days,

314

why are you this sick?

315

- What is that?

- Lanzhi.

316

Didn't you get cured by renowned doctors long before?

317

No famous doctors can cure my disease.

318

Only opium can ease my pain these past years.

319

Lanzhi, aren't you a Censor Constable?

320

Look at me.

321

This is what I am.

322

I am here to congratulate you.

323

Infanta Minghui insists on getting married with you despite all the objection.

324

I came to give you my gifts.

325

Take care, brother.

326

Wait, Lanzhi.

327

Lanzhi.

328

I am dying.

329

I can't live till my wedding day.

330

I know that Infanta loves me. I feel guilty for her.

331

You and I are brothers in arms.

332

Do you know that Jiang Ren stays by her side?

333

He never leave her alone and accepts to be a slave for her.

334

He loves Infanta.

335

What can I do?

336

Jiang Ren came back from the frontier and he accepted to be a slave in Prince Yu Mansion.

337

Not only to you, he is even polite to me.

338

He doesn't want to mention anything about our battles.

339

Yes. He doesn't want to mention them.

340

But I can never get rid of the addiction to opium.

341

I met him at Qianduan Brothel that day,

342

but he acted like he never knew me.

343

Sorry.

344

-Sir...

-Jiang Ren.

345

What's wrong with you? Be quick, the bathroom is over there.

346

Jiang Ren, it's me, Xianya.

347

When did you come back? Why didn't you come see me?

348

Sir, you got the wrong person.

349

How could he have forgotten me?

350

Maybe he didn't want to pay attention to a sick man like me.

351

Qianduan Brothel?

352

Yes.

353

That was a good place.

354

No class. No rule.

355

Just like a paradise.

356

Actually, I want to die more than Ru Yue.

357

Come on, drink with me.

358

How can you do that?

359

Are you courting death?

360

Does it still hurt?

361

Come.

362

You will never feel pain after smelling this.

363

Since you love me so much, take me out of here.

364

Ru Yue, life is hard.

365

if you can't endure it anymore,

366

let's go to paradise together.

367

Let's be a happy couple there.

368

I got this Divine Bead by luck.

369

With it, you can have no pain or illness.

370

I will give it to you today as our love token.

371

Let's pick a lucky day to be a couple in our next life.

372

I became healthier and healthier since Ru Yue gave it to me.

373

Soon, I became much stronger than those days when I was a soldier.

374

I don't need to take pills any more. And I don't want to die.

375

But Ru Yue became addicted to drugs.

376

She got weaker and weaker.

377

Husband.

378

Husband.

379

When shall we go, my husband?

380

Take me out of here. Don't you know they want to kill me?

381

- Take me out. They are coming for me.

- Move!

382

You want to kill me.

383

You ungrateful girl.

384

You are going to kill me.

385

You are going to kill me.

386

She couldn't bear this kind of life.

387

She killed herself by burning the Opium.

388

We promised to be couples in the next life,

389

but I stayed and lived an ignoble existence.

390

This is retribution.

391

- Shi Tou. What are you looking at?

- Uncle Xia.

392

Look, he's so magical. The vet gave us some pills for the horse.

393

I couldn't let the horse eat, but the horse ate it all when he touched its ear.

394

I heard of that kind of people.

395

They don't like to speak to people, but they have a good relationship with animals.

396

By the way, are you ready with the carriages and horses?

397

- Yes.

- Good.

398

Shi Tou.

399

- Second Young Master.

- Young Master.

400

Give me Da Hong. I will ride it today.

401

Sorry, Young Master. Da Hong is sick today, I prepared Xiao Bao for you.

402

No. Xiao Bao is not as majestic as Da Hong.

403

Give me Da Hong now!

404

I'm talking to you! Pull Da Hong out now!

405

You slave.

406

- Young Master!

- I will beat you!

407

- Young Master.

- Young Master.

408

Don't lower yourself to his level. He was brought here by Miss.

409

He only listens to Miss.

410

You are so well-dressed. Don't let it get dirty, right?

411

- Just because you're my sister's slave, I can't order you around?

- Young Master.

412

- Just you wait!

- Young Master.

413

Let's go, Young Master. Don't pay attention to him.

414

You are really something. That was our Young Master.

415

Oh, right. Prepare the carriage quickly and pick up your Miss at the door.

416

She will attend a wedding today and won't be riding a horse.

417

♫The moonlight is gentle and the stars shine.♫

418

♫How long have you been watching this same sky?♫

419

♫Walking by the long street and viewing the falling leaves,♫

420

♫the hands are still warm.♫

421

♫The past is gone.♫

422

♫Tonight is about to end.♫

423

♫I wish I could have you by my side.♫

424

Look how dazed you are. Don't be lazy.

425

Help Miss get on the carriage.

426

What? I am a girl.

427

Am I ugly in dress?

428

Look at your silly look.

429

Oh yes, this is for you.

430

[Mu Le]

431

Your name is on it. I chose a surname for you.

432

That surname is better than the 'mu' of wood.

433

And yours?

434

What?

435

This.

436

Masters don't wear waist tags.

437

So what's your name?

438

Yuan'an.

439

Yuan'an. Yuan'an.

440

How can you call your master's name directly? You are being impolite.

441

Mu Le, how dare you? How dare you call your Miss's name?

442

Her name is Yuan'an. She should answer me when I call her name.

443

Okay, fine. One who does not know is not guilty.

444

But you can't repeat doing that. Let's go.

445

These are all royal cargos bought from Xiang city by Prince Yu.

446

Light the red candles quickly.

447

Wipe that well.

448

Head Supervisor Jiang, you are here.

449

Stay focus. Don't make any mistake.

450

Just be at ease.

451

You couldn't even do such a simple work well!

452

You lose my face in front of others...

453

Look at my language. Please forgive me.

454

Get out!

455

The first kowtow is for the heaven and earth.

456

The second for the parents.

457

Why are there so many red candles?

458

It was said that lighting a room full of candles during a wedding ceremony

459

can get the god's attention.

460

God will then bless the bride of marrying a man that will be good to her for a lifetime.

461

When can I meet my Mr. Right?

462

- Please come on in.

- Congratulations. Congratulations.

463

Thanks, thanks.

464

Lord Zhang, you are here. Please come on in.

465

Be quick. Take Lord Zhang to his seat.

466

- Lord Pei!

- Congratulations!

467

- My brother, please go in.

- Thanks, thanks.

468

Take the guest to their seats.

469

You are here.

470

This girl is?

471

We risked our lives together days ago.

472

Did you forget me, Head Constable Zhao?

473

You really believe that I forgot you? But your dress is so...

474

Ugly?

475

I thought you wouldn't come today.

476

Why?

Wasn't Xianya a criminal just days ago?

478

I thought you two have turned hostile to each other.

479

That was work. He is still my brother in arm.

480

Today is his wedding day. How can I not show up?

481

But I think this case is not yet over.

482

The couple are here. Take your seat. Please take your seat.

483

The first kowtow is for the heaven and earth.

484

The second for the parents.

485

The third is for each other.

486

Ru Yue.

487

Xianya. Look at me, I am Minghui. What's wrong with you?

488

Ru Yue.

489

I was wrong. I shouldn't have let you down.

490

Are you here to seek vengeance?

491

What are you talking about?

492

Jiang Ren.

493

Xianya.

494

You are thinking of another girl on your wedding with my Infanta.

495

- Ru Yue.

- You broke faith and let our Infanta down.

496

You don't deserve to live.

497

- Ru Yue. Ru Yue, you know...

- Let me go.

498

You know I love you the most.

499

But my parents asked me to do this,

500

- I have no other choice. Would you forgive me?

- Let me go!

501

- Forgive me, would you?

- Let me go!

502

Please forgive me, Ru Yue!

503

Ru Yue!
