An Oriental Odyssey

Episode 31

26

Sir Zhao!

27

Sir Zhao, you can't come in here.

28

Sir Zhao.

29

Don't worry, brother.

30

Let him stay here and talk with me.

31

- You can leave now.

- Yes.

32

Sir Zhao, I have already told you

33

that one couldn't go back on his words.

34

You can't deny your promise.

35

I knew you would come to me.

36

Why doesn't Yuan'an can see anything?

37

Why doesn't she have a sense of taste and speech.

38

Worse still, all her senses will disappear within two days.

39

She will die from asthma finally.

40

You did that to her!

41

What on earth did you do to her?

42

I poisoned her.

43

It seems that you have something to say to me.

44

Yes, it's for the matters among Zhao Lanzhi, you and me.

45

It seems that Empress didn't consent your request.

46

Yes, you're right. She didn't.

47

But still she didn't reject my request.

48

Zhao Lanzhi is not mine.

49

Nor yours.

50

You two are not married.

51

So I can also marry him.

52

What do you want?

53

We are all practicing martial arts.

54

So, don't talk nonsense.

55

We should fairly fight against each other straightforwardly.

56

How to define winning or losing?

57

The one who can drink this cup of wine will be the winner.

58

The loser should never bother Zhao Lanzhi.

59

It's a deal.

60

Remember what you said.

61

Never bother Zhao Lanzhi again.

62

Yes. But I won't submit!

63

We shall meet again!

64

Yes, I won't bother Zhao Lanzhi.

65

But I will let him come to me.

66

So she drunk the poisonous wine in this way.

67

People say that she's smart and brave.

68

But certainly I don't think so.

69

Because she didn't take precautions against you.

70

OK.

71

Sir Zhao, listen.

72

This poison was made from 13 different toxics.

73

If someone drinks it,

74

all five kinds of senses will disappear gradually.

75

She can't see or hear anything.

76

She can't talk or move.

77

Then she will die of organs failure.

78

You vicious and merciless woman!

79

Why did you inflict suffering on her?

80

Whatever you may say.

81

Sir Zhao, you have only two days to go.

82

Let's wait and see.

83

Princess.

84

Tell me.

85

What can I do to make you give me the antidote?

86

Are you begging me?

87

You can't confuse saving Yuan'an with the relations between you and me.

88

They're two different things,

89

Then there is no room for negotiation, Sir Zhao.

90

Ye Yuan'an is quite charming.

91

Two men bully me one after another regardless of social status.

92

I know you have the antidote.

93

Where is it? Give it to me quickly!

94

Zhao Lanzhi, you must have no idea.

95

Empress said Ye Yuan'an and I could make a request respectively.

96

I asked Empress for you.

97

But she asked for this slave.

98

You love her, but she loves another man.

99

You are the most stupid man in this world.

100

Don't talk nonsense. Give me the antidote.

101

Mu Le.

102

If you kill her, Yuan'an will be unlikely to survive.

103

Princess.

104

Tell me what do you want exactly?

105

It's very simple.

106

I want you to beg Empress to grant our marriage.

107

I want you to do what you have done to Ye Yuan'an.

108

I want you to love me like you do to her.

109

Marry me right now!

110

I'm an ordinary man.

111

Do you think it is worth?

112

Worth or not, it's my business.

113

You just consider doing it or not.

114

Zhao Lanzhi.

115

You are running out of time.

116

Why are you looking at me?

117

Your young master will be saved.

118

You can go back and wait.

119

My daughter.

120

What's the matter with you?

121

Master Ye, how's Yuan'an?

122

Her condition becomes worse and worse.

123

She can't hear or move.

124

Master Ye.

125

I have a request.

126

Could you please allow me to stay with Yuan'an alone for a minute?

127

I have something to say to Yuan'an.

128

That's OK.

129

Yuan'an.

130

After the case of Qianduan Brothel was successfully solved,

131

we met with each other at the tea house.

132

However, you didn't know that the one you blindly dated was me.

133

But I knew that person was you.

134

Now that I knew it,

135

why didn't I persist in going after you?

136

When the matchmaker said you disliked me

137

I didn't tell you the truth and argue with you clearly.

138

Because I knew and I had a feeling

139

that we would have a lot of time to get along with each other.

140

The predestined relationship between you and me

141

would finally bring us into marriage.

142

So I didn't pay much attention to it.

143

If I knew things gonna happen like this,

144

I would have married you the first time we met.

145

Yuan'an.

146

You can't see, hear or feel anything, can you?

147

The poison shows its effect.

148

I can't wait anymore.

149

Yuan'an.

150

Don't blame me.

151

Lanzhi.

152

Have you decided?

153

You want me grant your marriage with Minghui, but not Yuan'an?

154

Yes, I have made up my mind.

155

Empress, please grant my marriage with Princess Minghui.

156

Minghui is so tricky.

157

All right.

158

I have already made a promise to Minghui.

159

Now that you also want to marry Minghui,

160

I will issue an imperial edict.

161

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

162

is endowed with high moral quality, civil and martial virtues.

163

Princess Minghui is beautiful in appearance and clever in mind.

164

You two is a perfect match chosen by heaven.

165

In order to bring happiness to this couple,

166

Your Majesty has decided to grant their marriage

167

and choose an auspicious date to host the ceremony.

168

Thank you, Your Majesty.

169

Congratulations, Princess Minghui.

170

Thank you, Eunuch.

171

Your lover turns out to be Sir Zhao Lanzhi.

172

Brother and sister-in-law,

173

the day after tomorrow is the auspicious date.

174

Please make preparations for my wedding as soon as possible.

175

The day after tomorrow?

176

Yes, you're right.

177

Zhao Lanzhi,

178

Will you come back if you go away?

179

Yuan'an.

180

Yuan'an, can you see me?

181

Can you hear me?

182

Yuan'an.

183

It seemed like a nightmare.

184

You just recover from coma.

185

Where are you rushing?

186

I wanna find Minghui.

187

She should cheat me!

188

Give me my sword.

189

OK, that's enough.

190

Minghui was just kidding.

191

I asked her for the antidote and she gave that to me.

192

See, you are all right now.

193

It's inappropriate for girls to practice martial arts.

194

I'm not all right.

195

She never played a joke on me.

196

Zhao Lanzhi.

197

Why did you defend her?

198

So what?

199

This is the case, it's necessary for you to make a fuss.

200

Why do you want to find Minghui?

201

You can't defeat her.

202

Also you're no smarter than her.

203

Why are you always competing with her?

204

So in your heart,

205

am I not better than her in all aspects?

206

I compete with her?

207

Now she is trying to kill me!

208

She asked for you before Empress.

209

And then, she almost killed me.

210

Don't you know that?

211

Why are you always finding fault with me?

212

Why don't you find fault with her?

213

I almost forget it.

214

She asked Empress for me.

215

What did you ask for before Empress?

216

I knew it.

217

You asked Empress for the freedom of Mu Le.

218

His crime committed at Huodu Hill was remitted too!

219

If you thought of us at that time,

220

why did you say those words to her?

221

Is it necessary to speak of our affairs?

222

Why not?

223

Why are you so sure?

224

You don't have me in your heart.

225

I don't know either.

226

I'm busy. I must go back to Court of Judicature and Revision.

227

You have a good rest. I will...

228

I will visit you another day.

229

Zhao Lanzhi, stop!

230

I don't let you go away.

231

Who do you think you are talking to?

232

I am not your slave.

233

I'm a Court official.

234

When can you speak gently just like other girls do?

235

I can't bear what you are now!

236

Get lost!

237

Stop!

238

Go back right now and tell her the truth.

239

I don't want to see her so sad.

240

Go back?

241

What to say?

242

Tell her the truth.

243

Tell her that you were coerced by the evil Princess.

244

If you couldn't do as she said, there would be no antidote.

245

So Yuan'an would die.

246

Then?

247

Well, I don't know.

248

I only know that if you tell her the truth,

249

Yuan'an will feel much better.

250

If Yuan'an is happy with your companion

251

I'm willing to help you elope from here.

252

Mu Le.

253

Whether Yuan'an requested Empress for your freedom or not,

254

your heart is free forever.

255

I envy you, because you care nothing.

256

Just now I asked Yuan'an what he asked for from Empress.

257

The aim was to irritate her so that I can leave without hesitation.

258

She's right.

259

If I were her, I would request other things without thinking.

260

She and I didn't need the so-called request.

261

I wish I were you.

262

Come and go freely and live a simple life.

263

But I can't.

264

But I can't be calm and aplomb like you.

265

Princess Minghui carefully plotted every step.

266

She caught the soft spot of me.

267

How can I defy Empress' edict?

268

Why? Empress is also a human being.

269

Empress' words can also be changed.

270

Is it...

271

Is it more important than your companion with Yuan'an?

272

You don't understand.

273

I have been enforcing the law for the imperial court.

274

I never can defy the law of the court.

275

As a law-executor,

276

I won't let Yuan'an be a wanted criminal with me.

277

I was annoyed by the way Yuan'an treated you.

278

Since your presence,

279

she took good care of you to the extent that she didn't even noticed.

280

She never treats you as a slave.

281

Maybe in her heart,

282

you are more important than me.

283

Look after her for me.

284

Zhao Lanzhi.

285

Let me tell you.

286

Within two days, he will come back to beg me with his presents.

287

Have a rest.

288

Who do you think you are talking to?

289

I'm not your slave.

290

Nanny, I want to ask you a question.

291

Go ahead, young master.

292

Tell me, if most men are neurotic?

293

And they will have a seizure from time to time.

294

That may sounds right.

295

By the way, why do you ask me such a question, young master?

296

Zhao Lanzhi was quite good before.

297

But after he brought me the antidote,

298

he either found fault with me or spoke for Minghui.

299

He seemed to be neurotic.

300

Young master, why are you so worried?

301

Sir Zhao treats you wholeheartedly.

302

He must be busy dealing with affairs at the Court then.

303

He must be distracted at that time.

304

Or you just take him as a neurotic man.

305

He will be all right after a while.

306

Gosh!

307

He must dislike me after he saw my poisoned appearance.

308

Take it easy, young master.

309

Your appearance after poisoning

310

is also more beautiful than those with makeups.

311

You're right.

312

So I'm sure he will come today.

313

Yes.

314

Minister.

315

Is Miss feeling better now?

316

Yes, she is.

317

I took care of my daughter these days,

318

which made you discuss official affairs at my mansion.

319

I'm so sorry for the inconvenience.

320

Minister, it doesn't matter.

321

This is what we should do.

322

By the way,

323

any news from the imperial court these days?

324

Everything goes smoothly and follows the prescribed order.

325

There is noting serious.

326

That's good.

327

There is a joyous event.

328

Have you received invitation card from Prince Yu's Mansion?

329

Prince Yu's Mansion?

330

Who will get married at Prince Yu's Mansion?

331

You may not know. It's Princess Minghui.

332

She will marry Zhao Lanzhi,

Deputy Minister of Court of Judicature and Revision.

333

That's absurd.

334

He should...

335

Their marriage was granted by Empress' edict.

336

He should...

337

We share friendly relations,

338

but why didn't Sir Zhao send the invitation card by himself?

339

Family members of the imperial court must be

prudent and ceremonious.

340

But it is said that tomorrow is an auspicious day.

341

The wedding will be held tomorrow.

342

Tomorrow?

343

Yes.

344

But it is too hasty.

345

It's said that the date was chosen by Prince Yu's Mansion.

346

That's strange.

347

Lead a horse for me.

348

Where are you going?

349

Find Zhao Lanzhi.

350

No. Your body is still not quite well.

351

Just take a horse for me.

352

I haven't fed the horse.

353

You just fed it.

354

Yuan'an.

355

Why are you standing here? Chase Yuan'an.

356

Don't let him find Zhao Lanzhi.

357

Go!

358

Stop! This is Court of Judicature and Revision.

359

It's improper to enter without any permission.

360

I'm here for Sir Zhao.

361

Miss Ye, why are you here?

362

Today is Sir Zhao's wedding ceremony.

363

Why didn't you attend the wedding?

364

Wedding? Who marries him?

365

The marriage was granted by Empress.

366

He marries Princess Minghui of Prince Yu's Mansion.

367

You knew that too?

368

Yuan'an.

369

Sister, are you satisfied with today's wedding?

370

Yes, of course.

371

But as a result of limited time,

372

Zhao Lanzhi's mansion hasn't been completely built.

373

So we need to prepare the banquet at your mansion.

374

What are you talking about?

375

Prince's Mansion has always been your home.

376

But you should not call his full name anymore.

377

You should call him husband.

378

I think it's good to call his full name.

379

By the way.

380

Sister-in-law, where is he now?

381

He may greet guests out there.

382

The banquet is going to begin.

383

Welcome. Please come in.

384

Congratulations, Prince Yu.

385

Please come in.

386

Congratulations, Prince Yu.

387

Thank you. Please come in.

388

- Congratulations.

- Congratulations.

389

Congratulations.

390

It's you. Please come in.

391

OK.

392

This way, please.

393

Lanzhi, look, who is coming.

394

State Preceptor, I apologize for not greeting you at the gate.

395

Please forgive me.

396

You chat with each other and I must receive other guests.

397

Why didn't you send me an invitation card?

398

Empress ordered you to decrypt the Nine Divine Beads.

399

I thought you must be busy with this affair.

400

So I didn't want to bother you.

401

Nine Divine Beads can't be decoded within days.

402

It's rather complex.

403

So I just take a rest.

404

I heard that you were going to be married.

405

And I come here to join in this joyous event.

406

I'm fortunate that State Preceptor can attend my wedding.

407

Tell you the truth, Sir Zhao.

408

I thought the bride would be Yuan'an.

409

- Congratulations, Prince.

- Thank you.

410

Come in, please.

411

Frankly speaking, I thought if one day I got married,

412

the bride must be Yuan'an.

413

In my view,

414

you and Minghui is a perfect match

415

I hope one day you can let bygones be bygones

416

and treat each other honestly.

417

Things are irreversible now.

418

Are you consoling me?

419

Not really. I'm not.

420

The auspicious moment has come.

421

It is the auspicious moment.

422

Thank you for your presence today.

423

I hope you all enjoy yourselves to the full.

424

- OK.

- Yes.

425

- Congratulations, Prince Yu.

- Cheers.

426

Bridegroom, Sir Zhao.

427

Yuan'an.

428

Today is your wedding day, but I wasn't invited.

429

I think it is inappropriate.

430

I thought you just recovered from intoxication.

431

You would feel worn out at such an event.

432

So I didn't invite you.

433

Compared with Sir Zhao's big day, my health is not a big deal.

434

Besides, you and I have gone through thick and thin together.

435

You should invite me as a friend.

436

Or you just didn't want to see me.

437

Yuan'an, let's go back home.

438

I'm not finished yet.

439

Minghui and I love each other and Empress granted our marriage.

440

It was the will of Heaven and Empress' edict can't be defied.

441

The wedding ceremony has been finished.

442

If you come here to drink a cup of wine, I welcome you.

443

If not, it doesn't matter.

444

I will apologize my impoliteness and discourtesy another day.

445

Drink this cup of wine.

446

We will talk another day.

447

Only impoliteness and discourtesy?

448

Did you know what she had done to me?

449

She poisoned me.

450

Do you know she almost killed me?

451

Wedding wine?

452

You...

453

Today is my marriage.

454

I will do everything for Zhao Lanzhi.

455

If you act wildly, I will kill you.

456

Besides, our marriage was granted by Empress.

457

If I kill you, you will die in vain.

458

Who dares to kill me!

459

Stop!

460

Yuan'an.

461

We are done with it.

462

Now that we can't get married, don't be stubborn.

463

We had a good relation before.

464

Today is my wedding day.

465

Do you really want to make a mess?

466

You'd better go now.

467

Did you hear what that woman just said?

468

What did that woman do to you?

469

Did she threaten you?

470

No, don't guess without grounds.

471

What on earth did she do to you?

472

Nothing.

473

Go away.

474

♫Love is like a dream.♫

475

♫We gaze at each other on the long road.♫

476

♫We are reluctant to bear the pain of the past and try to hide it.♫

477

♫There're innumerable twists and turns in dream.♫

478

♫If no one admires that,♫

479

♫we blame no one but the unpredictable love.♫

480

Zhao Lanzhi, you bastard.

481

Why are you looking at me?

482

Do you think I will jump off the cliff?

483

It's great to be alive. I won't want to die.

484

Yes, you're right, Yuan'an.

485

No one deserves your hurting yourself.

486

This time, you gave me a lesson.

487

I should let you kill the couple just now.

488

Yuan'an, you're saying angry words.

489

Take it easy.

490

I didn't want them to die.

491

Zhao Lanzhi or that woman,

492

I thought he and I went through so many things together

493

I need an answer for myself.

494

Now they are married, but I'm still alone.

495

Then...

496

He gets married, then you can do as well.

497

Idiot, do you know what is marriage?

498

Marriage...

499

In a marriage, you treat the other one with heart and soul for good.

500

No matter what happens, one can't let the other be sad.

501

Am I right?

502

Yes, you're right.

503

Mu Le is right.

504

You should have been married.

505

You come to laugh at me, right?

506

Master, why are you coming here?

507

I went to Zhao Lanzhi's wedding banquet

508

and saw you running away from the wedding.

509

So I went after you and see what happened.

510

Look at yourself. You were fooled by them.

511

You loved Zhao Lanzhi deeply.

512

But he dumped you for Princess Minghui.

513

Do you know that throughout the imperial court,

514

people are laughing at you.

515

Master, you are a half-master for Yuan'an.

516

Why do you keep saying annoying words?

517

Brat, I'm helping you.

518

Help me?

519

Now you feel sad but your enemy feels satisfied.

520

You can do nothing now.

521

I have a good idea.

522

But you can never know that.

523

How can I revenge?

524

Say it.

525

What did you say just now?

526

What did I say?

527

Getting married.

528

I marry whom?

529

Marry me or him.

530

I?

531

Are you unwilling to be married?

532

I think that's great.

533

Zhao Lanzhi get married. Then you too.

534

You two lead a good life.

535

A life better than theirs.

536

That's it.

537

Yuan'an, if we get married, will you not miss Zhao Lanzhi

538

and not feel sad?

539

Yes.

540

He can get married. Why can't I?

541

That's right.

542

Master.

543

How to hold a wedding ceremony in the wilderness.

544

Your marriage is witnessed by the heaven and earth

545

as well as State Preceptor.

546

That's great. It's a heaven-sent marriage.

547

Just do it now.

548

First, bow to heaven and earth.

549

Second, bow to State Preceptor.

550

The couple bows to each other.

551

Ceremony completed.

552

You're now married.

553

Say something sweet to each other.

554

What to say?

555

You are so stupid. You say...

556

You say why did you marry her.

557

I marry Ye Yuan'an, because...

558

Because...

559

What?

560

Because of what?

561

Say it quickly.

562

I marry Ye Yuan'an because I like her.

563

I always think of her in my mind.

564

I think of her when I see her.

565

I miss her much if I can't see her.

566

I can do everything from today on

to ensure that Yuan'an doesn't feel sad.

567

What do you want to say?

568

I...

569

I don't know what to say.

570

Why are you stammering?

571

Say it quickly.

572

Don't you like Mu Le?

573

Of course, I like him.

574

That's right.

575

You have bowed to heaven and earth.

576

Now you can enter the bridal chamber.

577

That's too hasty.

578

We can do it later.

579

How come?

580

As long as you get married, you must enter the bridal chamber.

581

Heaven serves as the bed. It's spacious.

582

You can do what you want here.

583

If you feel embarrassed, you can sleep in the cave.

584

Come on!

585

Well, let's go.

586

Go. Go!

♫ Tired off and lights out, it's about to dawn. ♫

588

♫ I never speak out my love sickness. ♫

589

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

590

♫ Everyone wants a lifelong lover, ♫

591

♫ but the passion fades away with time. ♫

592

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

593

♫ Antagonistic love is so absurd. ♫

594

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

595

♫ What sweet time we have, ♫

596

♫ but only pity stays as time goes by. ♫

597

♫ I lead a wandering life in the world, ♫

598

♫ pursuing the traces left by you. ♫

599

♫ I hope to get acquaintance with you. ♫

600

♫ Recalling the previous love and hatred with you, ♫

601

♫ I think we live a worthwhile life. ♫
