Episode 34

26

What's this?

27

Boss, dear sister. Why are you doing this to me?

28

Why? Don't you have any idea?

29

You arrived here in a hurry at night the last time.

30

You had me buy a jadeite ring under your recommendation.

31

It's made of malachite.

32

Have dare you sell it at a price as high as jadeite?

33

You're a smart businessman.

34

Why did I trust you at all?

35

Are... are you getting serious?

36

It's a rule in our career.

37

I'd take the blame if you figured it out on site.

38

But it's all on yours afterwards.

39

You made a mistake. It's not my fault.

40

Bah!

41

Do you really think I'd be taken advantage of?

42

You should have been drugged!

43

Seriously? You're far from doing it.

44

Seems to me the gangster is a brisk one.

45

How did you know that?

46

The two donkeys at the gate are of different species.

47

I bet they once belonged to different owners.

48

As for the former owners, either they were murdered or sold.

49

But this is an inn.

50

What's so weird about buying livestock for work?

51

As for the cloths hanged outside, they don't fit your size.

52

Yet you're the one male here in this inn.

53

Now that they're of different size,

I bet they're detained by your boss.

54

Let alone the wine bottle.

55

Are you trying to play tricks on me?

56

Let me pour the wine for you.

57

There is a switch on the handle.

58

The wine will be drugged if switched to the left, which is for me.

59

While switched to the right, the wine is safe to drink.

It's prepared for you.

60

You two gestured for quite some time.

61

I bet you were bargaining.

62

You're ruined by your own calculation.

63

What a surprise! That's too much for a girl to know.

64

Boss, aren't you going to kill him?

65

Help, Miss! I can't die now.

66

No one could lead you to Suoluo if I were dead.

67

Boss! Boss!

68

Let's go!

69

Hurry up! Leave here now!

70

If you don't behave, it would be more than your hair that get cut off.

71

I will! I dare not do that!

72

What's wrong?

73

This is located near Suoluo.

74

Many people here knows about witchcraft.

75

You were right about many things.

76

But there is one thing you got wrong.

77

The donkeys here aren't real donkeys at all.

78

They are businessmen passed by, who were trapped by Boss.

79

She kept them working here.

80

Now with Boss gone, they are back to normal.

81

You did something good for them.

82

It is different from Tang here.

83

Set off. Let's go.

84

Big brother.

85

It's you, Ying!

86

You're back.

87

Yes, here I am.

88

It's been a while. How are you?

89

A man who loves freedom is now trapped here within inches.

90

It's like a bird that's destined to fly is locked in a cage.

91

How do you think I am?

92

I can understand your thinking.

93

Yet father locked you here

to have you regret the mistakes you've made.

94

If you could show your regret,

95

I will definitely plead father and mother to set you free.

96

Sure, I did make mistakes.

97

Yet you're made a hero now.

98

Now you're back. I bet you've taken home Nine Divine Beads.

99

How is father? Is he awake now?

100

I've brought home Nine Divine Beads.

101

Father wakes up now. But he still needs some rest.

102

Did he ever mention when I could get out of here?

103

Not yet.

104

But please trust me.

105

I've told you. As long as you show your regret,

106

I will plead father and mother to...

107

I don't need your sympathy!

108

Is this why you're here for me?

109

Are you showing off or mocking at me?

110

Hero of Suoluo, look at how I am now.

111

You must be delighted!

112

It makes me even sadder after seeing you like this.

113

Leave.

114

I could never see my brother as he used to be.

115

Congratulations for your return!

116

I could never find the brother I love either.

117

Prince Ying.

118

Prince.

119

Zhenzhen.

120

How is Prince Heng?

121

Seems he doesn't want to see me.

122

I reckon so.

123

For the time I was absent from Suoluo,

124

he's always been trapped here in the pagoda.

125

I couldn't help it with father not forgivjing him.

126

Don't blame yourself.

127

It's the duty of people at Suoluo

to find Nine Divine Beads and save His Majesty.

128

As for Prince Heng, he deserves such punishment for what he did.

129

It's not your fault.

130

Thank you, Zhenzhen.

131

What for?

132

Thank you for help restoring my memory and taking me back home.

133

You will be rewarded.

134

I seek no reward.

135

You are a dignified, kind, and noble prince of Suoluo Kingdom.

136

Now you're about to be our Prime Minister, it would bother you a lot.

137

I don't want any reward.

138

All I want is to be by your side, knowing that you're well.

139

Ever since His Majesty is ill, I've managed the kingdom on his behalf.

140

Now that Prince Ying is back with Divine Beads.

141

His Majesty is about to get recovered.

142

Thanks to Ying's efforts.

143

His Majesty just woke up.

144

He still needs some time to recover with the beads.

145

According to His Majesty's order,

hereby nominates Prince Ying as Prime Minister.

146

Divine Beads are also under his charge.

147

Is there any objection?

148

Congratulations to Prince Ying for his promotion.

149

Long live Prince Ying.

150

Please arise.

151

Thanks, Prince Ying.

152

Anything to report, General Bokai?

153

Prince, I want to report about an important military affair.

154

Go ahead.

155

Prince, Champa has been harassing us for a long time.

156

They violated our oath and took up our land.

157

It's outrageous!

158

That's why I'm here to beg you to order attacking Champa.

159

So that we could suppress their wild ambition and attacks.

160

Then we should send messengers to negotiate first,

161

asking them to stop harassing.

162

Don't you remember what my father said, General Bokai?

163

My father once said that do not start the war unless we have to.

164

Any battle will end up in death of millions.

165

But the situation is different now.

166

Now that Your Highness has brought Divine Beads back,

167

we shall not use them only for minor function.

168

Why don't we make full use of it to unify the world?

169

General Bokai,

170

what did you just say?

171

I said, please take the Divine Beads out to aid us unify the world.

172

Do you know about the power of Divine Beads?

173

Do you have any idea what would happen

if Divine Beads are taken advantage of?

174

What if Divine Beads aren't as powerful as it's said in the myth?

175

If we don't see it by ourselves,

176

how would we know if Divine Beads you brought back are real or not?

177

You're in no position to question His Highness!

178

How dare you!

179

Listen up.

180

Divine Beads are powerful yet hard to be tamed.

181

I brought them back to cure my father's ilnness.

182

It's not for attacking other country, nor for unifying the world.

183

From now day on, anyone who mentions about using it for wars

won't be spared easily.

184

Do you understand?

185

Yes, Prince Ying.

186

I understand.

187

You may leave.

188

Such a humiliation!

189

You're spared for now.

190

It's not about time.

191

I will force him to use it one day!

192

Zhenzhen, rise up.

193

You should deal with your temper.

194

General Bokai used to fight by my father's side for years.

195

He was master of my brother and me.

196

Even I need to show some respect to him.

197

How dare you slap him in the public?

198

Because he was rude to you.

199

You get it right.

200

He's a wicked man.

201

I've found it out on the night I get back.

202

Anyone who goes after Divine Beads has got wild ambition.

203

I will be on guard against him.

204

By the way, what's this?

205

Prince Ying, you brought this back from Tang.

206

That's to say, it belongs to me.

207

Mu Le.

208

Sounds like a Han's name. Do you know him?

209

Sorry, I don't.

210

Prince Ying, the source is unknown.

211

Let me get rid of it for you.

212

Don't bother.

213

You may leave now.

214

Mu Le. Who is this guy?

215

Ling Xi!

216

Ling Xi?

217

What's this?

218

It smells so good.

219

Stop yelling!

220

I'll get you some food soon.

221

You're so annoying.

222

It's so delicious!

223

You do know how to treat yourself, Ling Xi.

224

Finally, you're awake!

225

Wait, where have you been?

226

I went for insects.

227

I can deal with the condition here.

228

But I won't let my baby suffer.

229

Tell me, are you the one who cooked the soup?

230

I went around this morning while you were sleeping.

231

Then I found a mushroom here.

232

So I lit a fire and cooked the soup.

233

Then I found, we still need some meat to go along with it.

234

So I captured some mice.

235

It took me a while to skin them.

236

Why would you go for mouse?

237

As for the mushroom, they might be lethal!

238

Truly! It could be toxic. And you just cooked it?

239

It will be fine.

240

We're about to get to Suoluo Kingdom.

241

It's my home. I'm sure about what's to eat, what's not to.

242

I won't have the soup.

243

Juset help yourself.

244

It's not my fault if you're dead.

245

Don't you want it?

246

Not at all!

247

Take it away from me! I'm not having it!

248

Fine. What a waste for you!

249

Are you sure?

250

Yes, I am. Take it away...

251

Fine, then I'll enjoy it.

252

Come over here.

253

Help me feed it.

254

It's been yelling for a day.

255

I am starving right now.

256

Hold it for me.

257

Hold.

258

Thank you.

259

I told you to eat.

260

See? Now you got bitten.

261

Shut up.

262

It's alright. It only goes for the moth.

263

It doesn't like your finger.

264

What's wrong?

265

Help... help me.

266

Are you poisoned for sure?

267

I told you not to have it!

268

Hold... hold on! Hold on!

269

What about now? What should I do?

270

There are so many grasses here.

271

He just need to puke the stuff.

272

There are so many kinds.

273

What if he gets poisoned again?

274

Whatever! It's not me who have it.

275

Tianshu once told me that bamboo leaves could cure the poison.

276

Fine, whatsoever!

277

It's so good you're alive.

278

Quickly! Drink it.

279

Drink!

280

It tastes so bad!

281

Sure, it's not as tasteful as your mushroom soup.

282

At least it's safe.

283

Miss, you...

284

You saved my life again.

285

Alright. That's enough. Have some rest inside.

286

Come on, get in.

287

Be careful.

288

Slow down.

289

We'd set out late anyway.

290

You can't travel long like this.

291

Have some rest.

292

Stop!

293

Give the beads back to me!

294

Mu Le, return the beads back to me!

295

Mu Le!

296

What are you doing?

297

Get the medicine.

298

Thanks to you, I've thrown up most of the soup I drank.

299

But I'm afraid there are some left inside.

300

Blood of my blue bat could cure any poisoning.

301

I want to have drops of blood, just in case.

302

For sure?

303

Of course.

304

Take it out, I'll get the blood.

305

Sure.

306

Where should I cut?

307

The paw then.

308

Be careful!

309

What's that for?

310

Miss Yuan'an, there is a tradition for people of Suoluo.

311

If one saves my life three times, my life would be yours.

312

You've saved me three times.

313

You will be my master from now on.

314

I would do anything you commanded at all cost.

315

Why would I want your life?

316

Besides, first at inn. This is the second time.

317

It's only two times.

318

Back in the jail, it's you who gave the blue bat back to me.

319

Does that count as well?

320

Sure, it does.

321

My life depends on it.

322

Alright, I won't take your life.

323

Besides, the reason I saved you is to have you guide me to Suoluo.

324

It gets even.

325

As for the slave, I've been betrayed once.

326

Ever since then, I swore to have no more slaves.

327

My life is yours no matter you take me as your slave or not.

328

Your enemy will my mine too.

329

I won't hesitate even if it's prince of Suoluo.

330

Are you sure about helping me?

331

As you wish.

332

I'm only concerned you won't have the heart to do it.

333

Dare me!

334

Yuan'an.

335

You showed up at the wedding of Princess Minghui and me.

336

But you left.

337

I should have left with you.

338

I shouldn't be bothered by Imperial Order, or promise.

339

If I had left with you,

340

there wouldn't be so many accidents and stories following.

341

You might not marry Mu Le on impulse.

342

Yuan'an, I want to tell you that I regret what I've done.

343

But I am sincere to you. My emotion towards you is true.

344

Zhao Lanzhi, look at you.

345

It won't work now at all.

346

May I come in?

347

Princess.

348

You don't need to call me like that.

349

Empress has ordered to get rid of our title.

350

I'm used to it.

351

It's late. Still working?

352

I'm checking the past cases.

353

Have some soup. I made it on my own.

354

Thank you.

355

Zhao Lanzhi.

356

My words still count.

357

I'm not to be fancied by all.

358

I won't force you to love me.

359

But you won't hear from Ye Yuan'an by torturing yourself.

360

From now on, you do not need to hide away from me.

361

I won't bother you anymore.

362

There's no need to torture youself.

363

Princess, Princess Yu is here for you.

364

Get out! All of you!

365

What's going on, sister?

366

Why are you so angry?

367

You may leave.

368

Yes, madam.

369

Where is Zhao Lanzhi? Why is he absent?

370

He's out.

371

To Court of Judicature and Revision?

372

Stop joking.

373

Divine Beads are missing.

374

All related to Divine Beads are under suspension.

375

He's got nowhere to go.

376

He's concerned. He said he wanted to go out.

377

It's good for us. So that we would quarrel any longer.

378

Now he's suspended, and he's got no feast.

379

No wonder he's bothered.

380

Your brother is worried about your relationship.

381

That's why he sent me here.

382

That's to say, you're still not living in harmony.

383

Never mind, sister. My life is at risk.

384

There's no time to think about it.

385

Do you regret?

386

About what?

387

About marrying him at all cost.

388

How can I not regret?

389

I don't even know why I chose him.

390

Now that you've realized it's a fault,

391

it's not to late to correct it.

392

I didn't get your idea.

393

Come over, Minghui.

394

Is that for real?

395

Is Emperor willing to plead to Empress for our family?

396

It is true for sure.

397

Your brother and I will report to His Majesty tomorrow.

398

His Majesty will definitely restore our title.

399

What about Zhao Lanzhi?

400

Minghui, don't be trapped any longer.

401

You're the one who found Divine Beads for Empress.

402

It's Ye Yuan'an and her slave who should be blamed for losing them.

403

As Deputy Minister of Court of Judicature and Revision,

Zhao Lanzhi is also part of it.

404

Empress would definitely award you if it's not your marriage.

405

She won't blame you at all.

406

Minghui, you just said you regret marrying him.

407

Don't be fooled.

408

It's time for you to protect yourself.

409

Stop hesitating.

410

Listen to our suggestion, divorce with Zhao Lanzhi.

411

There are more than enough talented young men.

412

Why do you have to be so stubborn with such a disqualified man?

413

Minghui, I know you're a girl who cherish love greatly.

414

You treat Zhao Lanzhi wholeheartedly, yet did he ever respond?

415

You are a Princess.

416

Don't waste your time on a man like this.

417

You're right, sister-in-law.

418

Then I shall thank you for your efforts for doing this.

419

That's right.

420

Your Majesty.

421

Don't bother, Mei Niang. Come here.

422

Have a look at the gift for you.

423

It's a rare painting.

424

It seems from a foreign painter.

425

You're smart, Mei Niang.

426

This is from a painter from Fusang.

427

It's of skillful techniques with great detail.s

428

This is a birthday gift from my father when I was young.

429

Your Majesty, what's the story between the two men in this painting?

430

This man here is a samurai.

431

He kept the saber for his master.

432

The saber was made out of darksteel of ancient time. It's precious.

433

However, this samurai accidentally lost the saber.

434

He blamed himself so much that

he wanted to commit suicide to apologize.

435

His master did not blame him at all.

On the contrary, he spared the samurai.

436

In a battle later, this samurai fought at all cost to save his master.

437

You see, Mei Niang?

438

If it's not for the master's tolerance,

there wouldn't be the escape from death.

439

Your Majesty, there must be a reason why you're sending me this.

440

You are smart, Mei Niang.

441

You could see through me easily.

442

I want to plead for Prince Yu's family.

443

Although siblings of their family do make some mistakes,

444

Prince fought at wars together with the late emperors.

He made great contributions to our country.

445

Late emperor sent me this painting is to urge me

to be tolerant with the ministers.

446

I hope you could be tolerant as well, Mei Niang.

447

I understand what you're saying.

448

I will deal with this properly.

449

Good. Then I'll authorize you to deal with this.

450

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

452

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