An Oriental Odyssey

25

Episode 28

26

Princess, please give her a way off.

27

You're willing to kneel down to beg for her life.

28

What's good about her? Does it really deserve you to do so?

29

Tell me! Say it!

30

Maybe she has no merits in others' eyes

31

but she is Yuan'an.

32

She's insane.

33

Her servant is insane.

34

The old monk she hid is insane.

35

And I think it's your turn now.

36

What are you doing? Stand up.

37

What can I do even if you kneel down?

38

Zhao, let me tell you one more time.

39

I'm on imperial's order.

40

What you asked is impossible for me to complete.

41

I wouldn't let her out even if you kill yourself.

42

If I died,

43

I wouldn't worry about all the coming things.

44

What do you think that you can do?

45

Can you save her?

46

It's a matter of Emperor, Empress and State Preceptor.

47

How can State Preceptor let Ye Yuan'an out

without catching Chen Tianshu?

48

How many times do I tell you?

49

Stop dreaming!

50

Princess.

51

I only hope you won't torture her.

52

As you said that it's a matter of Emperor and Empress,

53

I'm now presenting myself before Her Majesty.

54

If Yuan'an were really to know Chen Tianshu's destination

55

but fail to talk because of your torture,

56

it might run counter to your desire.

57

You...

58

This is the jail.

59

Stop torturing her in the jail.

60

You want me to do you a favor?

61

Okay.

62

Such a big favor.

63

Zhao.

64

How can you pay for it?

65

I, Zhao Lanzhi will do all the things you want

66

if you need.

67

Okay, all the things.

68

I promise that I won't torture her in a short time.

69

But you must remember what you said.

70

I will keep my words.

71

What did you say to her?

72

Nothing.

73

Did you beg her humbly?

74

I did beg her.

75

But I didn't beg her humbly.

76

Yuan'an.

77

I want to ask you something.

78

Go ahead.

79

Are you really going to refuse to say where he is?

80

What should I say? I know nothing.

81

Okay.

82

I'm now presenting myself before Empress and beg her to let you out.

83

Wait for me.

84

Yuan'an, is it worthy for you to risk your own life for others?

85

If I don't stick to the principles I believe in,

86

then who will support me?

87

Understand.

88

If someone can treat me in this way,

89

I'll cherish it much more than her.

90

Sir, please stop kneeling.

91

Empress refused to see you though you've knelt for a long time.

92

Don't you understand her meaning?

93

Eunuch...

94

Did you tell Her Majesty what I begged you to tell?

95

Sir, I told Empress all your words verbatim

96

but she refused to meet you.

97

What else can I do?

98

Drink the water first.

99

It's really hot outside and it will damage your health.

100

Thank you.

101

Tell you honestly, Sir.

102

These days, Emperor had a headache again.

103

He can't keep his eyes open.

104

Well...

105

It cannot be decided only by Empress now.

106

State Preceptor has said it clearly.

107

If the criminal of Ciyun Temple case

happened 19 years ago cannot be arrested,

108

and Emperor's inner demons cannot be solved,

109

it can't be over.

110

You'd better drink the water and leave.

111

Eunuch! Eunuch!

112

So bold! How dare you stop State Preceptor's sedan!

113

Lad, please make way.

114

Deputy Minister of Court of Judicature and Revision, Zhao Lanzhi,

wants to ask State Preceptor about something.

115

How dare a mortal speak with State Preceptor like that?

116

I think that you are courting death!

117

Zhao Lanzhi.

118

I know you.

119

What's the urgent thing that you must tell me now?

120

Your life cannot be the compensation of my matter.

121

I just want to ask State Preceptor something.

122

Princess Minghui is your disciple.

123

Do you know all the things she did?

124

The case about Qianduan Brothel smuggling the Opium,

125

reselling cultural relics in Luotian Cave,

126

the theft case of the painting of Empress,

127

Prince Nanjing's granddaughter, Shui Yue killing people

for their skins by sorcery,

128

General Guo changing into a moth

129

and having secret communication with caterans in Huodu Hill,

130

all of these things implicate Princess Minghui.

131

State Preceptor, does them implicate you?

132

Deputy Minister of Court of Judicature and Revision.

133

You haven't made them clear.

134

How dare you ask me about them? Step aside.

135

As long as you can let Ye Yuan'an out,

136

I won't investigate those cases! Cancel once for all!

137

How dare you bargain with me?

138

Stay your hands!

139

State Preceptor, Emperor is waiting for you.

140

Go to ease his pain.

141

A mantis raises its forelegs trying to stop an oncoming car.

Go beyond his depth.

142

As long as I collect all the Nine Divine Beads,

143

I'll be the master of the world.

144

Even Empress can do nothing to me,

145

let alone Zhao Lanzhi.

146

As for Minghui...

147

She dared to disobey my order not killing Zhao Lanzhi.

148

Get even with her later.

149

Your Highness, I beg you.

150

Please let Yuan'an off as she has saved your life before

151

and find another evidences to catch Chen Tianshu!

152

Lanzhi.

153

I keep others' kindness in mind.

154

When we're in Basjoo Woods,

155

I remembered that Yuan'an saved me.

156

When we were in General Guo's Mansion,

157

Yuan'an tried her best to protect me.

158

I also remember it.

159

But all of these cannot let me abandon

160

to arrest the most wanted terrorist

161

or ignore Emperor's health.

162

The case has been registered.

163

Ye Yuan'an cannot be out until the case has an end.

164

Come on! Come and have a look! What about buying some flowers?

165

The flowers are pleasant and their colors are gorgeous.

166

Come and have a look!

167

Baas, is this West Market?

168

Yes.

169

Sir, the flowers from the South.

It's reasonably cheap. Don't you buy some?

170

Where did you get it from the south?

171

You'd better ask my boss. I have no ideas about it.

172

Sir, why do you ask this?

173

Nothing. Just checking.

174

Sir!

175

I've heard from my boss that

176

its area of origin seems to be called Suoluo.

177

Suoluo?

178

Well, do you know how to get there?

179

I really have no ideas about it.

180

- Thank you so much.

- That's fine.

181

Suoluo...

182

The name is familiar but a little bit strange for me.

183

Monk Tianshu who made a tragedy in Ciyun Temple

has been arrested again.

184

He is alive!

185

See! Minister of Finance Ye Fucheng's daughter, Ye Yuan'an

186

has been arrested into jail for involving in hiding escapee.

187

Who are you? What are you doing?

188

- What are you doing?

- Why do you uncover the bulletin?

189

Who are you?

190

Shu Shu.

191

If you still bully Mu Le in the future,

192

I'll threw you to Wanxing Temple

193

and let you have no meat to eat and no liquor to drink.

194

Come on.

195

Who are you?

196

Why did he uncover the bulletin?

197

[Wanxing Temple]

198

That's right. It's here.

199

Benefactor, what's the matter?

200

I'm a passerby. Well, as it's getting dark now,

201

I hope that I could find a lodging here.

202

To tell you the truth, our master made the rules here

203

that we won't give the strangers a lodging here.

204

Well, you see. There's a cave over there. Not far.

205

Benefactor, you can pass the night there.

206

Okay, I'll leave now.

207

Wait a minute, benefactor.

208

Well, as our master is out

209

and only the few of us are here,

210

we can give you a lodging tonight.

211

Tomorrow morning, if you can start off early, that will be fine.

212

- That's very nice of you.

- This way please.

213

Please.

214

He's really ignorant

215

and never obeys master's words.

216

As the food here is not enough for us,

he still brings a stranger to share it.

217

Only fill five bowls.

218

Well, benefactor, let's make a deal first.

219

We won't offer you our food.

220

If you still choose to stay here, then only stay here to rest.

221

Do you hear me?

222

As a traveler,

223

I also bring some food with me.

224

You have yours and I have my own meal.

225

Just leave me alone. Just ignore each other.

226

Delicious!

227

Benefactor, are these all your food?

228

I sometimes quarry and hunt on the mountain.

229

How about introducing them to you?

230

Come here.

231

Hurry up!

232

Come on!

233

This is the rabbit meat which is flavored by 36 kinds of perfumes.

234

It's soft and delicious.

235

This is the leg meat of a fawn which is six-month-old.

236

Its tendon and meat mixed together and has a stretchy taste.

237

This is an awesome one!

238

The meatball is made by wild boar meat.

239

The wild boar meat has a hard taste. You know that right?

240

But if it's chopped, mixed with waternuts,

and then fried by its white oil...

241

I don't know how to describe the taste. Anyway, it's really delicious!

242

Why don't you keep on saying?

243

This! What's this?

244

This...

245

This is beef.

246

Beef? That's really normal.

247

Beef isn't rare. We don't care about it.

248

This beef is not the common one.

249

This is the best bar of buffalo's loin.

250

Succulent and delicious.

251

I know it!

252

The meat still has another name called "Butcher's keeping".

253

It's the last piece of the buffalo

after the butcher dismembers the buffalo.

254

He grudges to sell it. Just keep it himself.

255

How did you cook it?

256

It's easy.

257

I just scorched its surrounding skin first

258

but its inside was still succulent

and remaining its original flavor.

259

So that's why...

260

You guy! Are you on purpose?

261

What 36 kinds of seasoning?

262

What hind legs of fawn?

263

You tell us in such a detailed way...

264

Don't you know that we monastics cannot hear such words?

265

- He's right!

- That's not enough...

266

You still show us the "Butcher's keeping" and don't share with us...

267

Well... do you want us to break our oath?

268

Well, actually, If you Taoist priests

269

want to eat together, I can share with you!

270

- Come and eat it!

- You should say it earlier!

271

You're so bold! You're really uncontrolled as our master is out!

272

It tastes the same!

273

I haven't eaten it for a long time!

274

It's really delicious!

275

Taoist priest, is it not good enough

as you eat meats without drinking liquor?

276

liquor! I know you have it!

277

I smelt the smell of liquor as you came in.

278

- Take it out and let me have a drink!

- Okay.

279

Give it to me!

280

It's really a good one! Good wine!

281

- Cheers.

-Cheers!

282

Green reeds are thick and dense. Clear dews become frost thence.

283

My beloved, is just on the water side.

284

You don't have the luck to get them!

285

Is he going crazy?

286

Look at him! What a scandal!

287

Our master shouldn't take him in a few days ago.

288

- You help yourself first.

- Okay!

289

Excuse me. You said that he's just become your master's apprentice?

290

Yes. He hasn't stayed here for a long time.

291

We don't even know his name!

292

He only mentioned a name to the master

293

and then master took him in because of this name.

294

Yes! He's right! I was there at that time.

295

Well, is the name which he said

296

called "Ye Yuan'an"?

297

How do you know that?

298

I not only know these

299

but also who he is.

300

Is he just a homeless kid?

301

He's not young.

302

He's older than all of us here.

303

It's really you!

304

Why did you tear off my mask while I was enjoying myself? Damn it!

305

You're really ungallant!

306

Yuan'an was put in the jail for you

307

but you enjoyed yourself here!

308

Come with me! Right now!

309

Impossible!

310

Where's he?

311

- Where's he?

- Where did he go?

312

Good camouflage!

313

Because you're blind.

314

Let me see where you can escape!

315

We don't know that his skills are pretty good.

316

You shameless hustler! Give my clothes back!

317

If you still want to save your face,

then stop catching me without your clothes!

318

You!

319

What's going on?

320

Because I put some medicines in the liquor and meats.

321

Impossible! Didn't you drink it too?

322

Because I had the antidote.

323

You guy!

324

A flaw in the plan!

325

How can you defeat me?

326

Do you know how many hardships Yuan'an endured after you left?

327

What she did is to cover and save me!

328

If you really catch me back, what she did will be in vain, right?

329

You're chopping logic! Stop lying to me!

330

Tell me. What happened?

331

Somebody framed me about the thing that happened 19 years ago!

332

It's my senior fellow apprentice Tian Qiao who framed me.

333

Though you don't believe me, you should trust her judgment!

334

If you're innocent,

335

why did you let Yuan'an replace you?

336

She's willing! None of my business.

337

She's willing but I'm unwilling!

338

What do you want?

339

I want to use you to exchange her!

340

Her life is the most important thing for me. Let's go!

341

I beg Your Highness to give Ye Yuan'an a way off

and find another way to catch Chen Tianshu.

342

Emperor.

343

I'm back.

344

My headache always recurs.

345

All the political matters depend on you.

346

Take it easy, your majesty.

347

I can deal with those matters.

348

But...

349

What do you want to tell?

350

Your majesty.

351

Zhao Lanzhi has knelt down outside for three days and nights,

352

begging us to give Ye Yuan'an a way off

353

and find Chen Tianshu in another way.

354

After seeing him saying with certainty

and in a determined attitude,

355

I think maybe...

356

there's something queer inside.

357

The girl...

358

has already stayed in the jail for three days and nights...

359

What a horrible place it is...

360

If she really knew the whereabouts of Monk Tianshu,

361

maybe she would tell us... anyway...

362

She's really a poor girl...

363

Let her out...

364

Brilliant, Your Majesty.

365

Mei Niang.

366

My headache...

367

can't be cured, right?

368

Don't worry, your majesty.

369

You have a benevolent heart

370

and you will be fine soon.

371

Your Majesty.

372

The thing about treating diseases...

373

30% of it depends on doctors and the rest depends on patient himself.

374

How can Your Majesty give up so easily?

375

Are you going to dream nightmare night by night

and having headache day by day?

376

Don't worry, Emperor.

377

This time, I'll go to interrogate Ye Yuan'an myself.

378

I must let her tell us Tianshu's situation

379

to solve Emperor's inner demons.

380

Help me, State Preceptor.

381

I'll, Your Majesty.

382

Go to invite Doctor Liu here.

383

Yes.

384

She's there.

385

Thank you.

386

Xia!

387

- Xia!

- Miss!

388

Why are you here?

389

I come to see you...

390

and bring some food to you.

391

They're all your favorites.

392

Why always you? Where's my dad?

393

He's busy.

394

It's him who asked me to come.

395

- Really?

- Really!

396

Are they still missing me?

397

Yes! They miss you so much!

398

Xia.

399

All the things depend on you these days.

400

Help me take care of them.

401

Don't worry, Miss.

402

Miss.

403

I know that you're not the one to stay in the jail.

404

You cannot be locked up here.

405

You must find the way out.

406

Hide it.

407

Why does it take so long? Time's over. You must leave now.

408

Miss, then I leave now.

409

Xia, take care of my families. Thanks you a lot!

410

I will.

411

It's heavily-guarded here.

412

Though I have a soft sword,

413

it's still hard for me to escape alone.

414

Rather than awaiting my doom,

415

I'd better go all-out to fight. Death is the worst case.

416

I, Ye Yuan'an, need to fear nothing!

417

This way.

418

State Preceptor asked us to come and bring you to his palace.

419

He'll interrogate you himself.

420

Tian Qiao.

421

You cannot speak his name in such a way!

422

Hurry up and come with us.

423

Wait!

424

She's my prisoner!

425

Empress asked me to take the responsibility here

so you cannot take her away.

426

Princess Minghui, you didn't work hard

427

and you didn't find out the truth.

428

I think maybe you didn't listen to my words

429

or you've had unfaithful intentions now?

430

I dare not to do that. Please let her stay here

431

and report to State Preceptor

that I don't have unfaithful intentions.

432

I just need time to find out the truth.

433

I hope that State Preceptor can trust me.

434

I'll complete my mission and my task.

435

This is what State Preceptor asked me to do.

436

Besides, he wanted you to kill Zhao Lanzhi.

437

I'll obey his order.

438

Miss Ye, this way please.

439

Yuan'an.

440

Greetings, State Preceptor.

441

I've heard something of you before.

442

But I've never seen you before,

443

I don't know what you've heard.

444

I've heard that you're highly skilled in martial arts,

445

with a strong sense of justice

and ready to help the weak, smart and kind.

446

You treat your friends very well.

447

And also you've saved Empress's life before.

448

Empress treats you as her friend now.

449

Right?

450

State Preceptor.

451

It's only hearsay.

452

I poke my nose into everything...

453

But...

454

where Tianshu is,

455

I really have no ideas.

456

I'm coming to meet you today

457

for I have some other things to discuss with you.

458

Please go on.

459

I think that you're cute and clever

460

and I want you to be my disciple.

461

How do you think about it?

462

What can I get as being your disciple?

463

I'll teach you all the things I know.

464

Such as curing, divining, creating machines,

465

manufacturing weapons and so on.

466

- Really?

- And I also know that you like practicing martial arts.

467

As long as you're my disciple,

468

I can let you be the top master of martial arts.

469

Do you want to be the head of Wulin?

470

By the way.

471

Do you love money?

472

I have plenty of gold and silver.

473

You can have the amount which all you can imagine.

474

And it's still possible for you

to be a high-ranking official in the future.

475

All these benefits are based on being your disciple?

476

You're right.

477

As you're my disciple,

478

it's enough.

479

But as I was in the jail just now,

480

I saw Minghui's finger got broken just in front of me.

481

Isn't she your disciple?

482

Why do you treat her in this way?

483

You are different.

484

She's not better than you

485

and not cleverer than you.

486

And as she wasted my time, I should punish her.

487

Well...

488

I won't treat you in this way.

489

As you already said in this way,

490

it really would be my fault

491

if I refuse to be your disciple.

492

You've told me so many benefits...

493

Well, actually, it's really attractive.

494

But...

495

I still don't know where he is.

496

Do you still want me to be your disciple?

497

You girl.

498

It seems that I should ask others to persuade you.

499

Yuan'an!

500

- State Preceptor! Don't drag them in!

- Yuan'an!

501

Don't conceal, Yuan'an!

502

Yuan'an! Stop hiding the truth! You can't hide it anymore!

503

Hasten to tell him where the old man is!

504

Yuan'an, no matter what you want to do, you cannot ignore our lives!

505

They know nothing.

506

Let them off!

507

I know you're an obedient girl.

508

How can you ignore your families' safety?

509

As you tell me Tianshu's whereabouts,

510

I promise that I won't hurt your families.

511

And also I'll recommend your father as the Prime Minister

512

and give your brother a promising future.

513

Tell me.

514

Where do you hide him?

515

Wait!

516

Yuan'an, aren't you my daughter?

517

Haven't you seen that State Preceptor is going to kill us?

518

Yuan'an! I beg you!

519

No weapon can hurt me.

520

What did Tianshu teach you?

521

Butterball! Do you miss me for so many years?

522

Why do you come?

523

It all depends on your servant!

524

As you finally let me go, he caught me back again.

525

How can I leave you alone as you're in danger?

526

It's fate.

527

Tianshu.

528

We haven't seen each other for a long time.

529

Do you know the difficulties for me to find you?

530

I thought we would never meet each other in our life.

531

The girl protects you at the risk of her life.

532

But we never thought that

533

you're still caught by me after the long period.

534

Have you made clear about its ingredient?

535

Yes, Your Highness.

536

It's the mixed powder of a high dosage of

Hypericum perforatum and rosemary.

537

It can banish one's cares and prevent the happening of depression.

538

But if one takes it for a long time,

539

it will do harm to one's liver and kidney

and it will disturb sleep, even bring hallucinations.

540

You can leave first.

541

Dot mention it with others.

542

Yes.

543

Your majesty, how do you feel?

544

How long have I slept?

545

Not very long. Just a few hours.

546

Do you still have a headache?

547

A little bit.

548

But I'm now much better.

549

Mei Niang.

550

Is the medicine I took before sleep made by State Preceptor?

551

Emperor, it's made by Imperial Academy of Medicine,

not by State Preceptor.

552

Imperial Academy of Medicine...

553

They can do noting to help me for a long time.

554

It's State Preceptor who gives me the treatment.

555

I'm seriously ill this time.

556

How can they suddenly give me the treatment?

557

Every medicine has its side effect.

558

The medicine can not only save people's lives but also damage them,

559

which is all decided by doctors' proportioning and use.

560

A doctor should have a benevolent heart.

561

But if his heart has changed,

562

do you think that his medicine will change as well?

563

Mei Niang...

564

What do you mean?

565

Emperor.

566

I'll report to you after making a through investigation.

567

Your Highness.

568

Your majesty, just have a good rest and I'll be back soon.

569

Just go ahead...
