Episode 48

23

Heng.

24

Royal Mother.

25

It's so late. You're still awake?

26

Some emergent memorials needed to be read through.

27

I need to talk with the ministers about them tomorrow.

28

I come here to tell you something.

29

Please say them, Royal Mother.

30

Heng, although you're out from the pagoda and has regained freedom,

31

I can tell that you still feel a little aggrieved.

32

Although you're the Regent,

33

you're not in charge of the Divine Beads.

34

You merely have the title.

35

Hope you won't blame your father and me.

36

After all, you made some mistakes before.

37

You need to be tested again.

38

I know, Mother.

39

That night, when we're at King's bedroom,

40

just to test you,

41

he asked you to touch the Divine Beads.

42

It's lucky that you controlled your greed.

43

So, that's what it is.

44

I didn't know it.

45

After that, you were designated as the Regent.

46

I saw how cautious you were in handling state affairs.

47

You did a great job.

48

But for a King,

49

loving the people is the first priority, governing is just second.

50

We still can't be sure if you have a benevolent heart.

51

Hence, Royal Father and Royal Mother still can't be at ease with me.

52

Yes.

53

But...seeing how you were so forgiving with Ying,

54

it removed all our worries.

55

Because you were able to treat a brother competing for the throne with you in such a manner,

56

in the future, you surely would treat the citizens in such benevolent manner.

57

So...

58

From now on, these Nine Divine Beads would be under your care.

59

Thanks, Royal Mother and Royal Father.

60

Heng.

61

People said that your father favored and trusted Ying more than you.

62

Don't listen to them.

63

Because you're also his beloved son.

64

All the tests and trial we had you undergo before

65

were all because we want to hand the Divine Beads and our kingdom to you, do you understand?

66

I understand.

67

And, I have to tell you a secret.

68

Please talk, Royal Mother.

69

Someone's here.

70

There's no one, Royal Mother. You saw it wrong.

71

Out of the way.

72

Who are you?

73

Good to see you again, my Queen.

74

You're that monster. Why are you still alive?

75

Calm down, Royal Mother.

76

He's just one of my old friends.

77

You don't have to be so scared.

78

Why are you still with him?

79

I understand it now. You were just pretending.

80

You didn't change at all!

81

I'll tell this to His Majesty now.

82

Royal Mother, where are you rushing to?

83

Look at me. I've been imprisoned by you for so many years.

84

When did I get so anxious?

85

My dear Royal Mother,

86

you are tired. Have a good rest.

87

Rest forever.

88

Since I was a little kid, you've prepared so many tests for me.

89

Only if I pass the test, would I get very little reward.

90

I'm tired of this.

91

I care nothing about the secret you're going to tell me.

92

Just bury them with you.

93

Heng.

94

This day has finally come.

95

Blue bat.

96

It's all thanks to it.

97

As long as we have it, we can keep your body intact.

98

You don't have to live like a ghost again.

99

You've been through a lot. Thank you.

100

Thanks for your help, Heng.

101

It reminds me of our past,

102

as if it was just yesterday.

103

I'll just be an ordinary person, living happily,

104

and learning magic with you. That seems to be nice too.

105

Do you really think so?

106

Of course, it's true.

107

Why do you ask?

108

It's hard for me to believe it.

109

Every one dreams of power and fame.

110

And you are a prince, don't you want to be the King of Suoluo?

111

I want. Everyone wants.

112

But if...

113

killing my brother is the only way to be the King,

114

I'd rather give it up.

115

My dear friend, it's enough that you say that you want it.

116

You're so kind and simple-minded, that you ended up getting taken disadvantage of.

117

Look what I can do for you.

118

I'll do my best to achieve your dream to be the King of Suoluo.

119

- Defend the King! Defend the King!

- Hurry!

120

Do you know what you've done?

121

Why did you call for the Red Dragon? Are you out of your mind?

122

I'm not. I did it merely for you.

123

I called the Red Dragon out to kill Prince Ying.

124

- This way, you can be the successor to the throne.

- You...

125

Guards, kill this monster!

126

My Father, please don't do it.

127

If Royal Father insists on killing him, then...

128

kill me first!

129

Please stop. I'm willing to gouge out my eyes by myself.

130

- Ling Xi.

- Heng, how did you find me?

131

Weren't you grounded.

132

Because of me, you lost your eyes.

133

I'll definitely find them back for you.

134

Excuse me.

135

Who is there?

136

Heng, you have to be the King.

137

But it's hard. I can do nothing better than Ying.

138

How can I rule the kingdom?

139

There's no difficulties to rule the kingdom.

140

No difficulties to rule the world, either.

141

Have you heard of the tales of Nine Divine Beads?

142

If you have the Nine Divine Beads, you'll have everything.

143

But the Nine Divine Beads have long left our kingdom.

144

No one has ever seen it for hundreds of years.

145

Then how can I find them?

146

If you can't find them, then ask Ying to do it.

147

Good idea. But one more question.

148

My brother Ying is a man pursing peace.

149

How can I talk him into looking for the beads?

150

He would do it for one person.

151

For who?

152

Your Father.

153

Only if the king's life is in danger will he do whatever to save him.

154

You...

155

You want me to hurt my Royal Father?

156

If you want to save the King, there might still be a way.

157

What way?

158

Ying, do you still remember the tale painted on the wall of Imperial Library?

159

We need to find the state treasure Nine Divine Beads that has been lost for a long time.

160

Only the Nine Divine Beads have the power to bring the dead back alive.

161

Only by finding them can father's life be saved.

162

King hasn't fully recovered yet.

163

Now, you have the Divine Beads.

164

You will decide on his life or death.

165

You also have sent Ying far way from here.

166

And you've killed that Queen who kept standing in our way.

167

We can blame Ying for her death.

168

YIng, the Regent Prince not long ago, is now a fugitive.

169

The Prince Heng who was imprisoned in the pagpda before,

170

now have all the kingdom's power.

171

My dear friend.

172

without you help, how can I get what I have now?

173

Hence, I am going to thank you, and in a grand manner.

174

I want to give you the power beyond all other people.

175

No need for such things between us.

176

Come, let's check the Divine Beads.

177

Oh, right.

178

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

179

Zhenzhen!

180

It's raining.

181

Let's stop here.

182

Please, my guests, this way please.

183

Please. This way please.

184

Please.

185

- Welcome.

- My dear, tea for the guests!

186

I'm coming.

187

- Come here, this way please.

- Have a seat.

188

Please.

189

Sit down, please.

190

You... must have traveled afar.

191

Where're you from and to where are you going?

192

We came from the capital and is heading to Tang Empire.

193

After passing the two mountains ahead, you'll arrive at the boarder with Tang.

194

Since it's getting dark, how about staying here for the night?

195

Just continue with your journey tomorrow morning.

196

Sure, thank you.

197

Just tell us what you two want to eat.

198

Where's the owner?

199

Here, sorry, we're coming.

200

Officers, with such heavy rain, you two must be tired.

201

- Please enter.

- Sir.

202

Don't even mention it. We just got idled, and another mission comes.

203

It's said that a murder happened in the Palace.

204

A criminal ran away from the prison and killed people.

205

See? Here's his portrait. We are here to catch him.

206

Innkeeper, a lot of people come and go to your place.

207

You must help us pay attention to suspicious people.

208

I'll definitely. Don't have to worry about it.

209

Drink it.

210

These two people look so unfamiliar. I've never seen them.

211

Stand up. Let us have a check.

212

I'm talking to you two! You can't hear me?

213

Drink it all.

214

In my opinion, you two are the fugitives in the portraits.

215

- Drink.

- Come with me!

216

How dare you!

217

Master, your disciple is here.

218

Don't worry about these measly fighters.

219

She's good at martial arts. Let's go.

220

Hurry, hurry. Let's go.

221

My customers, hope you didn't mind.

222

These officers always ask for troubles and abusing their power.

223

They claim that they are here to arrest someone, but actually just want to have some free tea.

224

Oh, right, I've prepared your room upstairs.

225

You couple can have a rest.

226

I'm not his wife!

227

Eat some more.

228

We didn't get to finish our dinner,

229

so I asked them for more.

230

Look. Do you think the two people on these portraits are us?

231

Don't think too much.

232

Since your mother and older brother have agreed to let you out,

233

how could they have ordered your arrest?

234

But the officer said earlier that a man and a woman have escaped from prison.

235

I feel that they're talking about us.

236

The officers also said that the criminals killed someone.

237

Do you believe it?

238

Listen to me.

239

It's because you've had so many romantic affairs before,

240

hence, someone now is chasing after you.

241

Are you so guilty that you're panicking?

242

I have no romantic affairs. I just...

243

feel that something is wrong.

244

I'll tell you what's wrong.

245

You were originally a prince.

246

Now, you're an ordinary person.

247

You used to be good at martial arts.

248

Now, your scapula got nailed. Hence...

249

Are you not willing to go back to Tang with me?

250

I've already expressed my sincere feelings in front of my Royal Mother.

251

How else do you want me to prove it to you?

252

Yuan'an.

253

Fine... I'm just kidding.

254

So...

255

I'm going to ask you a question.

256

Do you regret it?

257

I don't.

258

And you?

259

When I was cursed, you asked me a question.

260

I didn't tell you my answer, right?

261

Mu Le.

262

Why are you mentioning him?

263

Do you have feelings for him?

264

I...

265

I'm not telling you.

266

So...you like him?

267

I'm tired, I want to sleep.

268

Can you answer me now?

269

I'll tell you after we drink this wine.

270

Listen well.

271

No matter who you are, Mu Le or Prince Ying,

272

I like who you are. It isn't about your status.

273

When we were in Tang, I'm your master, you're my servant.

274

Then in Suoluo, we switched our status.

275

We've been through a lot and survived to be together.

276

Why would I regret it?

277

You haven't compensated me enough.

278

Moreover...

279

You've drunk the marriage wine just now, how can you regret?

280

Just then? Marriage wine?

281

If I said it is, then it is.

282

Now that we're done drinking the marriage wine, shouldn't we...

283

Playing a scoundrel, you slave?!

284

Still calling me slave? Call me husband. Come here.

285

Let go!

286

Don't drink anymore.

287

Yuan'an, you've suffered a lot here in Suoluo.

288

When we're back at Tang, I surely will treat you well.

289

We'll never leave each other forever.

290

I still have something to tell you.

291

You talk first.

292

Wait here. I'll check it.

293

Yuan'an, it's...

294

Prince Ying. Sorry for disturbing your happy moment.

295

Let her go.

296

Mother and brother have allowed us to leave,

297

but you came here with soldiers. What is the meaning of this?

298

Zhenzhen. What's going on?

299

Prince Ying, you colluded with this temptress and stole the Divine Beads.

300

You didn't mend your ways after being locked up in prison.

301

After you broke out, you even killed Queen Tuoyue!

302

What? You said my Royal Mother...

303

You even stole one of the Divine Bead and replaced it with a fake one.

304

You're guilty for many unforgivable crimes.

305

Zhenzhen, is everything that he said true?

306

All that we said are known all over Suoluo now.

307

Now, you're far away from the capital.

308

You have no military power and martial arts skills.

309

Quickly surrender!

310

We've been trapped by Heng!

311

Shut up, temptress. How dare you say the name of Prince Heng directly?!

312

I'll kill you first.

313

Let go of Yuan'an!

314

Be careful, Prince!

315

Your scapulae have been nailed. Stop making useless struggle.

316

Zhenzhen, I can't believe you are helping the wicked.

317

Listen well! Since you've come for me,

318

take me back now to complete your duty.

319

I also want to ask my brother face to face.

320

Yuan'an now is my wife.

321

No one can't hurt her.

322

Stop the nonsense! Come with us!

323

After preparing for everything, we weren't able to predict

324

that the Divine Beads would get switched.

325

Zhenzhen, why isn't she back yet?

326

Let's wait for a while more.

327

Could something have gone wrong?

328

You trust her so much.

329

To tell the truth, she is just a chess piece of my plan.

330

She must do what I ask her to do.

331

No mistake must happen.

332

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

333

Prince.

334

Zhenzhen. Tell me the truth,

335

what happened to Mother.

336

I'm sorry, Prince.

337

My power is weak.

338

I couldn't do anything.

339

Then tell me, who did it?

340

Is it Heng?

341

I'm going back now.

342

I have to figure everything out.

343

- Prince. Prince!

- Get lost!

344

I have done what I can do.

345

Please leave this place with Miss Yuan'an.

346

Miss Yuan'an, I've accompanied the Prince for a long time.

347

But now...

348

Miss Yuan'an, please take care of our prince.

349

I'll be with Mu Le wherever he is.

350

Zhenzhen, if you really want to help me, tell me the truth!

351

If I can't find the killer, I won't leave Suoluo.

352

Yes. The killer is Prince Heng.

353

But he has the Divine Beads now, how can we kill him?

354

Prince Ying, he even blamed all the crimes to you.

355

He's trying to trap you in hell forever.

356

My brother...

357

How could he kill our mother for power?

358

How could he have the heart to do it?

359

Prince Ying.

360

Did you really know what kind of person he is?

361

A man called Ling Xi is always with him.

362

Informing Commander Zhenzhen, someone has trespassed into the Imperial Library.

363

Who dared to do it? Let's go.

364

Who are you? How dare you trespass into a restricted place?!

365

I'm Heng's friend.

366

He took me here, and he just left.

367

How bold of you!

368

You dare you call his name directly? Turn around!

369

It's you, little master?

370

Yes. I can't believe I can meet you here.

371

Zhenzhen now has become an official.

372

I'm just reading here. I won't disturb others.

373

Will you kick me out of here?

374

Commander Zhenzhen!

375

You were wrong. Nobody's in there.

376

Go on to patrol somewhere else.

377

Yes.

378

Of course, things were not that simple.

379

I would eventually pay for my ignorance and getting soft-hearted.

380

Father, eat more.

381

Okay.

382

Father, I come here to say goodbye.

383

Prince Ying is heading to Tang, so I want to go with him.

384

This is the medicine which can treat your asthma.

385

Take it regularly.

386

I'm good, don't worry about me.

387

Look, I am better now.

388

This is the little master who has saved my life. Do you remember him?

389

You want me to kill Prince Ying once he gets the Divine Beads,

390

then take the beads back to Suoluo alone?

391

You must be kidding. It's impossible.

392

Don't refuse it so fast. I'll give you time to think.

393

I don't need time. Prince Ying did a lot for me.

394

I can't hurt him.

395

Why don't you just kill me.

396

I can never do such a thing.

397

Your life is worthless.

398

But if you want your father to continue living,

399

then do as what I say.

400

What did you do to my father?

401

Calm down. It's not a big deal.

402

He is sick, right? He took my medicine.

403

In his stomach, the medicine can heal him, or can corrode his body to death.

404

Do as what I say.

405

What do you want me to do?

406

Assist Ying to find the Divine Beads.

407

Take this. I made some elixirs.

408

It must be dangerous on the way to Tang.

409

It'd be useful to have them with you.

410

I'll teach you the Paper-folding Messaging Skill.

411

Remember, you must regularly update me with your situation.

412

Once Ying get the Divine Beads, try all means to deceive him into given them to you.

413

Then kill him.

414

Don't forget.

415

Never let him step in Suoluo again.

416

Zhenzhen. What are you talking about?

417

Nothing, just chatting idly.

418

Uncle,

419

take one more pill and you'll completely recover.

420

Good.

421

Mu Le. Blade, blade, blade.

422

Prince Ying. Hold my blade handle. Hurry.

423

Prince.

424

Then, I ended up in Huodu Mountain and was saved by someone.

425

It took one month to heal my wounds.

426

After I was healed, I tried to look for you.

427

But the world is so big, it's not easy to find you.

428

Although I'm worried that if I couldn't complete my job, my dad would get hurt,

429

I also felt relieved.

430

This way, Your Highness might escape your fate of getting killed.

431

Although I had no idea where you are and how you're doing,

432

it's better than personally killing you once you've found the Divine Beads.

433

So, I decided to stay at Huodu Mountain and lived by feeding the horse for others.

434

It got startled!

435

Pull it! Be careful!

436

Calm down.

437

Till one day, I saw you again at Huodu Mountain.

438

I was so happy.

439

Before I could have a chance to reunite with you, Ling Xi found me.

440

Ling Xi said he was worried that something terrible happened,

441

because we were out of touch for long.

442

So he came to Tang too.

443

He tried to find me, but happened to see Prince Ying on the street.

444

After stalking you for days,

445

he discovered that you and I have been separated and you lost your memory..

446

You have become a slave of a rich family.

447

And he also found that someone's collecting the Divine Beads.

448

So he took other's trick for his purpose.

449

He wanted me to feed you the medicine getting your memories back,

450

after the beads are all collected.

451

So Prince Heng can easily obtain the beads once for all.

452

So that man brainwashing my brother is still alive.

453

And he schemed such a big picture.

454

There's something I don't understand.

455

If he wants you to kill me after I get the beads,

456

but why does he ask you to take me back Suoluo?

457

Because he found that you fell in love in Tang,

458

so he changed his plan to hurt you further.

459

So he can make us to hurt each other...

torture each other and ourselves.

460

He made you get your memories,

but erase the memories about me.

461

Then Mu Le took the Beads back to Suoluo.

462

Actually we hurt each other for the beads,

463

no matter who is about to die, they are happy about it.

464

But I can't do it.

465

So they think out a way to turn you into a Red Dragon,

466

in public at a full-moon night.

467

It is. Miss. Yuan'an is telling what have happened.

468

When Brother practiced magic with that man,

469

he was punished.

470

But I didn't expect he never realized his fault.

471

And he was driven by his desire

and had so many cunning schemes.

472

Prince Ying.

473

I was forced to kill you before, please forgive me.

474

If there are other choices,

I'd rather die than betraying you.

475

Zhenzhen. I know you're forced to do it.

476

What are you doing?

477

Congratulations, Prince, you have your kungfu back.

478

This is the scapula puncture only can be removed by the one who inserted it.

479

I inserted it into you, so I can remove it from you now.

480

Heng is the traitor of Suoluo.

481

He collaborated with the crafty man

and forced me to leave Suoluo.

482

He stole the beads and killed my mother.

483

I will go back to interrogate him.

484

I am willing to do whatever I can for you.

485

Well. If he deploy you to find the lost bead,

486

but we don't know where it is actually.

487

I have it.

488

You have it?

489

What? You think I came to Suoluo merely for traveling?

490

In the end, you still choose the Beads.

491

Though I can't finish my job to take all of them back,

492

I have to try to take one of them home, right?

493

That's what you wanted to say just then.

494

So what?

495

Prince Heng knows that you can't kill him.

496

Zhenzhen.

497

Zhenzhen.

498

Zhenzhen. Zhenzhen.

499

Are you okay?

500

Prince Ying.

501

In this way, they'd never harm my dad.

502

Prince Ying. Don't be sad.

503

Don't be angry with me.

504

Don't say so. You'll be alright.

505

Prince Ying.

506

You helped me when we first met each other.

507

I can do nothing for you, but now I get my wish fulfilled.

508

Zhenzhen.

509

You are the bravest and most loyal person I've met.

510

Thank you.

511

Zhenzhen.

512

Zhenzhen is a good girl.

513

I was born in the Palace,

514

but I never desired to be the king.

515

I did the things my father and mother asked me to do.

516

I suffered a lot for what they wanted me to do.

517

Till I met you,

518

I know how to live in the real happiness and freedom.

519

I want to live like an ordinary person... with you forever.

520

But the destiny doesn't allow us.

521

Now the Suoluo is in great danger,

522

how can I leave my country and do nothing for it?

523

I have to go back.

524

I have to interrogate him for what happened.
