An Oriental Odyssey

Episode 30

26

Well. Let me tell you like this.

27

You're the servant.

28

While she's the master.

29

You're so different.

30

You're just wasting your time if you like her.

31

All you do will be in vain.

32

You must know clearly who you are.

33

Mu Le, clear that?

34

Why are you here?

35

Zhao.

36

Excuse me. See you.

37

Mu Le, in the fight to clear out the evil monk,

38

you helped me. I do appreciate it.

39

Forget what happened before.

40

Let's celebrate today.

41

Let's go get a drink.

42

You two are here.

43

Today is worthy to be celebrated.

44

No matter what happened before,

45

after drinking together,

46

it'll disappear.

47

Mr. Zhao is proposing a toast to you. You shall be thankful.

48

I don't deserve it.

49

He's so stubborn.

50

Don't blame him.

51

After a catastrophe,

52

everyone almost lost their lives.

53

Yes.

54

Luckily the empress managed it so well.

55

Did you really kneel for three days there?

56

If you were there,

57

would you do the same for me?

58

Of course.

59

That's it.

60

What I do is just so simple.

61

You once said

62

we should do the right thing for the right person.

63

Thank you.

64

Nothing.

65

Yuan'an,

66

Could you please answer my question directly and clearly?

67

Go ahead.

68

Am I...

69

the person you care most?

70

Why do you ask this?

71

The person you care most is Mu Le, right?

72

Am I right?

73

Don't guess without ground.

74

Anyway, Mu Le used to work in Ye mansion.

75

He saved me for several times.

76

So I should be nice to him.

77

Just because he's not in the same position as you,

78

so I should be cold to him. That's not right.

79

Well, listen.

80

How about me?

81

What do you think of me in your heart?

82

Yuan'an,

83

You're... You're...

84

Relax.

85

I'm just asking randomly.

86

You know,

87

you're impartial.

88

You do everything according to the rules.

89

Yuan'an.

90

That's how I think of you.

91

It's getting late. Shall I walk you home?

92

Okay.

93

Wait,

94

when we were having dinner,

95

I didn't finish my words.

96

Empress said,

97

she awarded us many things.

98

I don't need that much.

99

Then those belongs to you,

100

I'll take them out and give it to you.

101

You're giving me money?

102

I don't care about money.

103

What do you care about?

104

What do I care about?

105

I care about you.

106

Are you crazy?

107

Why can't I? He can even do that.

108

What are you saying?

109

Zhao Lanzhi!

110

What did you talk to him?

111

Why did he hold your hands like this?

112

It's none of your business.

113

Must I report to you what he said to me?

114

Yes.

115

I'm just nobody.

116

Just because you took Tianshu back and saved my life

117

doesn't mean you can do everything to me.

118

Let me ask you,

119

I begged you to do what you've done now?

120

No.

121

Since I didn't beg,

122

it's you who want to do this, right?

123

Yes. I want to do that.

124

Since you want to do that,

125

I didn't own you anything.

126

Right?

127

Yes.

128

Okay.

129

Since I didn't own you anything.

130

Remember,

131

I treat you well,

132

just because you work in my family.

133

And because you're nice to me.

134

But that doesn't mean that you could do everything to me.

135

Sorry.

136

How many words are left unsaid?

137

I don't want to be the only one in love.

138

How to break through all the barriers?

139

I'm the one deeply in love.

140

Miss.

141

Nanny, you're so kind.

142

Did you drink too much?

143

No

144

Well, I want to remind you of one thing.

145

Go ahead.

146

Mu Le,

147

Do you have any plan for him?

148

He's so ambitious and cool to us.

149

I can't wait to stay away from him. What can I plan for him?

150

You're not telling truth.

151

You treat everyone here well.

152

You'll do the same to Mu Le.

153

If he would stay here,

154

I will treat him well.

155

But he wouldn't stay here.

156

I can't force him.

157

What should I plan?

158

He's a servant and born from humble family.

159

Wherever he is,

160

he can't do farming and business.

161

And he can't apply for any higher position.

162

Do you realize that?

163

I forget about this. You're so careful.

164

But he's not only humble.

165

He's the bandit in Huodu Mountain

166

and the suspect in court.

167

So even if I don't like him.

168

I should make some plans for him.

169

Okay. I have t ask others for help.

170

Good.

171

I haven't had such a good sleep for a long time.

172

Nobody forces me to think about schemes anymore.

173

And nobody forces me to take the beads.

174

Good.

175

You got up, Princess.

176

Let Dier get you dressed.

177

Wear the Meijingyuan necklace.

178

I like it.

179

You got up, sister.

180

You look great today. Your face is as rosy as flower.

181

I'm flattered.

182

My face didn't change at all.

183

These days,

184

I'm bothered by those people.

185

Who?

186

Those who propose a marriage.

187

The eldest son of Ministry Xu.

188

The son of Zhenxi Lord.

189

And the eldest son of General Wu.

190

Besides, many princes and aristocrats

191

have come to propose decently.

192

But I didn't promise anyone.

193

I told them,

194

this should be decided by my sister herself.

195

Her brother and I will listen to her about this.

196

Perfect answers.

197

After what happened between Xianya and me,

198

they all consider me as the bane.

199

They dare not to propose.

200

Now they know my background and that Empress trusts me.

201

They come to propose.

202

They're the followers of wealth and power.

203

Minghui is right.

204

They're the followers of wealth and power.

205

They're not our friends.

206

But my dear sister,

207

I have to tell you something,

208

even you won't be happy by hearing this.

209

You're smart and pretty.

210

But you can't live with us for the rest of your life.

211

You must find someone to be your husband.

212

I know you're considerate.

213

But who he is and where he is is only in my mind.

214

Nine Divine Beads are supreme treasure fetched back

215

by Master Sanzang from India.

216

In the Ci'en Temple massacre,

217

the beads were lost around.

218

The evildoer Tian Qiao deceived the Emperor

219

and usurped the position of State Preceptor.

220

Now the case is closed and everything is clear.

221

Tian Qiao died and the beads were brought back.

222

Thanks to Master Tian Shu.

223

He protected our nation

224

and cleared Master Sanzang and his pupils.

225

Today we appoint Mater Tian Shu

226

as our new State Preceptor in our nation.

227

Thank you, Emperor and Empress.

228

State Preceptor, we do hope that you could decode

229

all the secrets of Nine Divine Beads

230

and help our nation achieve the unification.

231

Yes, Empress.

232

His Majesty descends an imperial edict and says:

233

Zhan Lanzhi from Court of Judicature and Revision

234

is intelligent, courageous and skillful in fighting.

235

He defeated Tian Qiao and his accomplices.

236

He has made great contribution.

Five years' official salary is awarded.

237

Announcement by the emperor himself.

238

With honor, His Majesty.

239

Imperial edict for Ye Yuan'an and Princess Minghui.

240

- Your majesty.

- Your majesty.

241

His Majesty descends an imperial edict and says:

242

Ye Yuan'an and Princess Minghui

243

are intelligent, brave and loyal.

244

They never bow to temptation,

245

They have made great contributions

to eradicating Tian Qiao and his accomplices.

246

Ye Yuan'an is promoted as the Sibu of Imperial Household Bureau.

247

and Princess Minghui is promoted as the Siyan of Imperial Household Bureau

248

They're on standard class, fifth rank

and five years' official salary are awarded.

249

Announcement by the emperor himself.

250

Gramercy, your Majesty.

251

It's auspicious. Congratulations, emperor and empress.

252

Fine. All arise.

253

Thanks Emperor!

254

Empress,the State Preceptor said

255

he's in the Futu Pagoda

256

focusing on decoding the secret of the beads

257

andcan't make it here to the meeting.

258

In my opinion, he's just unwilling to come.

259

He also said,

260

the nine stars in Futu Pagoda

261

are the Nine Beads brought together.

262

It seems that our dream to achieve the unification

263

will be achieved soon.

264

Okay.

265

He's allowed not to come here for the banquet.

266

Go back and tell him,

267

the mission to rule the world is counting on him.

268

Yes.

269

Miss Ye, you're summoned by the empress.

270

Princess, here please.

271

Your Highness.

272

Stand up.

273

Thanks empress.

274

My girls,

275

how do you like my awards?

276

I'm overjoyed. I hope I could live up to your expectation.

277

And you, Yuan'an?

278

I feel great.

279

But I don't know what to do.

280

You'll take more responsibilities in your higher positions.

281

You would know this later.

282

My girls,

283

I do like you two.

284

If you have any unfulfilled wishes,

285

you can just tell me.

286

Maybe I could help you with them.

287

I am just waiting for this!

288

Go ahead and tell me.

289

Empress,

290

there is a servant named Mu Le in my home.

291

He is loyal to me.

292

And he has contributed a lot in defeating Tian Qiao this time.

293

Because he's just a slave

294

and used to a bandit in Huodu Mount,

295

he can't get awards.

296

I hope empress could spare his humble identity.

297

Then he could make a new living.

298

Okay, Yuan'an.

299

You didn't let me down.

300

You're warmhearted and have sense of justice.

301

I promise you.

302

Thank you, empress.

303

And you, Minghui?

304

I...

305

I want Zhao Lanzhi.

306

What?

307

You asked me about my unfulfilled wishes.

308

I'm serious about that.

309

My unfulfilled wish is Zhao Lanzhi.

310

You're asking for trouble.

311

Come on then. I'm not afraid of you.

312

Well, Yuan'an,

313

you may leave first.

314

I want to talk to Minghui.

315

Empress.

316

Minghui, I used to think that you're clever and sensible.

317

You know what you want.

318

But today,

319

you seem a little bit irrational.

320

Empress, you think I'm irrational.

321

I know

322

that you and Yuan'an are not in good relationship.

323

You're still young and aggressive.

324

It doesn't matter to compete in something.

325

But marriage is important.

326

Will you compete in this?

327

No, empress.

328

This has nothing to do with Ye Yuan'an.

329

That I ask you for Zhan Lanzhi

330

is not to compete with Ye Yuan'an.

331

We all know that they love each other.

332

They could even sacrifice their lives for another.

333

Minghui,

334

there are many excellent men in the royal family.

335

Why do you want him?

336

There are many excellent men,

337

but I only want Zhao Lanzhi.

338

I want him just for myself.

339

I love this man.

340

He's upright and brave.

341

Empress, you said you would satisfy me wish.

342

I'm glad to work for you.

343

I just wish I could have this.

344

I can give up anything else.

345

Empress,

346

will you promise me?

347

I can grant your marriage.

348

But,

349

how can I face Yuan'an?

350

Don't worry, empress.

351

If she's thinking about this, she would mention it.

352

Just now, she just mentioned her servant.

353

Because everyone knows

354

that they love each other.

355

It's something quite natural.

356

No, empress.

357

This is not the case.

358

Minghui, you're so stubborn,

359

will you be happy?

360

You put me in a dilemma.

361

If you want a long-term relationship,

362

you two must love each other. You can't force it.

363

Well then, if you ask for my permission.

364

Ask Lanzhi to tell me this.

365

If he's willing,

366

I'll give you the permission.

367

Thanks!

368

I'll definitely let Zhao Lanzhi here ask for your permission.

369

What did you say?

370

The Princess Minghui falls in love with you.

371

She asked the empress to grant your marriage.

372

Nonsense!

373

I dare not to make jokes on this.

374

When did you begin to have these dirty feelings on her?

375

Have you had an affair long ago?

376

You're using this beautiful words on me.

377

Good job, Yuan'an!

378

Dirty feelings? Having an affair?

379

You're being so mean.

380

Before the case of Tian Qiao is clear,

381

Minghui is the enemy for both of us.

382

How could I have an affair with her?

383

It takes two to have an affair.

384

Flies do not bite the seamless eggs.

385

See, seductive eyes.

386

You seem not someone upright.

387

You're getting more irrational.

388

My seductive eyes?

389

You're provoking her.

390

Have you ever seen such honorable eyes?

391

There there. Don't be angry about this.

392

Tomorrow I'll go to Prince Yu's Mansion

393

and tell Minghui clearly about this.

394

Let's clear all your old scores.

395

Don't get me involved at least.

396

It's you who get me involved.

397

Anyway, you must have a solution.

398

Lanzhi, it's honored to have you here.

399

Prince Yu.

400

Please sit down.

401

I was wondering to ask you out for hunting.

402

The empress thinks highly of you now.

403

I'm afraid you would refuse me.

404

Don't say that. I'm flattered.

405

Lanzhi, what are you coming for?

406

Not dealing with case here?

407

No jokes.

408

I came to talk to Minghui.

409

I have something to discuss with her.

410

Minghui? She went out in the early morning.

411

She's left for two hours.

412

She would come back soon.

413

Could you wait for her here?

414

Okay. Thanks.

415

Mr. Zhao, are you coming for me?

416

I have something to discuss with you.

417

Minghui,

418

what's wrong with your hand?

419

It's bleeding.

420

I fell down just now. Nothing serious.

421

Mr. Zhao,

422

this way, please.

423

What brings you here?

424

Yuan'an told me a joke.

425

She said you asked the empress to grand our marriage?

426

I was wondering why would you do that.

427

It's so ridiculous.

428

I came here to tell you.

429

If Yuan'an and I have done something wrong for you,

430

please forgive us.

431

You're generous and please leave them behind.

432

We both serve for the empress.

433

so we may need to help each other.

434

But for other things,

435

I hope that we're not related.

436

You apologize for Ye Yuan'an.

437

Why did you do that for her?

438

And how do you know

439

Ye Yuan'an was telling jokes?

440

In your mind,

441

no matter what she said is funny, right?

442

Yuan'an.

443

Sometimes she's like a child, confused about many things.

444

If you fall in love with someone,

445

you'll say so,

446

everything by her is cute just like a child.

447

Mr. Zhao.

448

I saw you picked up the flowers she threw away,

449

the moment you saw her smiling,

450

and you touched her hair in her forehead softly.

451

You're right.

452

We went though hardship and danger together.

453

We're partners and like brother and sister.

454

We're close.

455

But this time, she was not telling jokes to you.

456

I did asked the empress

457

to grant our marriage.

458

Because I must have what Ye Yuan'an has.

459

I want nothing else but you.

460

Princess, getting married is not a joke.

461

You may go too far?

462

It's not a joke.

463

It has to be true.

464

I'm afraid I can't say yes.

465

See you.

466

Zhan Lanzhi.

467

Did you remember?

468

When we were in the prison,

469

you begged me not to torture Ye Yuan'an.

470

I said yes.

471

Tian Qiao ordered his pupils to break off one of my fingers.

472

Just because I helped you.

473

We had agreement then.

474

You must give it back to me.

475

Anything I want.

476

You promised to me.

477

Did you forget?

478

I'll never forget.

479

If you need,

480

I could even give you my life.

481

But I'll not marry you.

482

You eat your words?

483

You ask too much and it's ridiculous.

484

I'm not able to give it to you.

485

Since then, I 'll not force you.

486

You may leave.

487

Thanks.

488

Zhao Lanzhi,

489

have you even been to the gambling house?

490

I've been there to deal with cases.

491

Then you must know their rules.

492

If a gambler lost all his money,

493

he would say to the boss,

494

after he had money,

495

he would return immediately.

496

If this gambler has credit,

497

he could be let go.

498

But this kind of person can get away with the debt?

499

What do you want on earth?

500

I mean,

501

Mr. Zhao, I may let you go today,

502

but after several days,

503

you may come back to me.

504

At that time, the interest will get more.

505

Ye Chengdu please come for the imperial edict.

506

Mu Le, stop feeding them.

507

I have great news for you!

508

What is it?

509

You contributed on the Tian Qiao case,

510

So I asked the empress to spare your humble identity.

511

From now on, you're free!

512

You can do whatever you want.

513

You don't need to feed horses here.

514

Her highness also said,

515

what you did in Duodena Mount can be cleared away.

516

Look, here is the imperial edict.

517

What do you mean?

518

I mean nothing.

519

What do you mean by "mean nothing"?

520

Do you think it's easy to get this?

521

Do you think anyone can do it?

522

I get this for you with great efforts.

523

What do you want? Thank you?

524

You ought to do this.

525

You don't want to be a servant, right?

526

You don't want us to be your master.

527

Now your wish is achieved.

528

Why are you angry about this?

529

Then?

530

Give me freedom?

531

You can get married with Zhao Lanzhi?

532

What are you talking about?

533

I don't know where I'm from

534

and even my identity.

535

I'm not born a slave.

536

It's my own thing. I would hand it myself.

537

You don't need to worry about it.

538

You must be mad!

539

What are you doing?

540

I don't listen to you.

541

But you can't hurt yourself for me.

542

I didn't hurt myself.

543

You think too highly of yourself

544

You know? You're really unreasonable.

545

Don't you know we must enshrine the imperial edict.

546

Hurry up.

547

Sir.

548

What's wrong with Miss Ye?

549

We don't know. Nothing happened.

550

Then she can't see.

551

This way, please.

552

Hurry up.

553

Which is this?

554

One.

555

How about this?

556

Seven.

557

Doctor, what...

558

From the pulse condition,

559

she's not sick.

560

What? Not sick?

561

Nothing serious.

562

Maybe she has been too tired

563

and have much pressure. The eyesight gets affected.

564

I'll give medicine for refreshment and improving eyesight.

565

She'll recover soon.

566

Doctor, isn't it serious?

567

Besides,

568

she should eat more pork liver and fish.

569

They're good for her.

570

Okay. Thanks doctor.

571

Shall walk you out?

572

Sister, I'm Yuanning.

573

Yuanning, I know you.

574

Don't bother me. Busy now.

575

Play with you after walking doctor out.

576

Yuan'an.

577

What...

578

Honey, eat the fish eyes.

579

It's good for your eyes.

580

Nanny Zhang,

581

what's wrong with the cook?

582

They didn't add salt in the dishes.

583

They have no taste.

584

Go to kitchen and fetch the salt and pepper to me.

585

Okay.

586

Nanny, put more.

587

Okay.

588

More. Give me more.

589

Nanny, did you add any?

590

Oh! Too spicy!

591

What's wrong with her?

592

The eyes haven't recovered.

593

Here comes the tongue.

594

Yes, what...

595

What's wrong with this?

596

Sir.

597

Lanzhi.

598

- Lanzhi.

- Yuan'an.

599

What's wrong with you?

600

Lanzhi.

601

I'm here.

602

Lanzhi.

603

Yuan'an, you...

604

I don't know.

605

It comes all of a sudden.

606

All of a sudden and without any sign.

607

Did you eat or drink something?

608

Or did you met anyone?

609

I...I don't know.

610

Lanzhi...

611

Here, Yuan'an.

612

Hold the brush.

613

Write it down.

614

Here.

615

Minghui?

616

You met Minghui?

617

What did you do with her?

618

Come on.

619

Fight? You fought with her?

620

Minghui.

621

What's wrong with your hand?

622

It's bleeding.

623

I just fell down. Nothing serious.

624

Sir, I let you go today.

625

After several days,

626

you may come back to me.

627

At that time, the interest may get doubled.

628

Yuan'an, have a good rest here.

629

I'm going to see Minghui.

630

Don't leave.

631

Lanzhi.

632

Could I ask you for a poison?

633

For what?

634

Nothing is more important than people's lives.

635

The best skill is to kill someone.

636

I want the most toxic one.

637

As long I want,

638

my enemy will die immediately.

639

Now it's yours.

640

But remember,

641

if it's not urgent enough,

642

or unless you meet the most tough enemy,

643

never use it.

644

State Preceptor, can this poison kill a person immediately?

645

Killing them is no better than making they surrender.

646

This poison is colorless, tasteless and can't be tested out.

647

I won't kill your enemy immediately.

648

They still have time to think and judge.

649

Will they be your servants or corpses?

650

Get it?

651

Sir, Minghui doesn't feel well today.

652

She doesn't want to see you.

653

Lanzhi.

654

Can't you just come tomorrow?

655

Prince, don't you know that someone is dying?

656

How can I put it off?

657

Mr. Zhao! Mr. Zhao!

658

Mr. Zhao, you can't come in.

659

Mr. Zhao!

♫ In my dream, we are falling into sweet love. ♫

663

♫ Everyone wants a lifelong lover, ♫

664

665

♫ I'm stubborn and you're reluctant. ♫

666

♫ Antagonistic love is so absurd. ♫

667

♫ We can't be reconciled to the past. ♫

668

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

669

♫ but only pity stays as time goes by. ♫

670

♫ I lead a wandering life in the world, ♫

671

♫ pursuing the traces left by you. ♫

672

♫ I hope to get acquaintance with you. ♫

673

♫ Recalling the previous love and hatred with you, ♫
