Xiao Yanzi, be careful!

Xiao Yanzi!

Xiao Yanzi!

Xiao Yanzi, don't be like this.

You don't know how to ride a horse! This is dangerous!

Why are you following me?

It's my own business whether I'm in danger or not! Leave me alone!

Go away! Go!

Hurry up, horsey!

Xiao Yanzi, I'm coming.

Watch out!

Xiao Yanzi, wait up!

Relax yourself.

Don't squeeze its stomach.

Don't tell me what to do!

I don't need you to teach me.

Xiao Yanzi!

Oh god! Xiao Yanzi!

Who told you to touch me? Get away from me!

Xiao Yanzi, are you all right?

Quickly, try to move. See if any bones are injured.

Go away, leave me alone!

I already swore that I'll never talk to you again.

You already had such a bad fall.

And you're still upset at me? Why are you upset?

You are the only one in my heart.

I can't stay calm because of you.

I made everyone upset.

Why would Cailian hold a place in my heart?

Be it princesses or beauties,

none of them could compare to you.

I'm mindless and uneducated.

I have neither talents nor insight.

I don't have this or that. I have nothing!

You... You're a bully!

I'm not bullying you. I'm bullying myself.

I beg you, sit down. Let me look at the wound.

Do you want to bleed until you die?

Yes, I am better off dead!

Then, I'll die with you!

You say that now.

But you will show off your prince's temper later!

Let me stop your bleeding first. Luckily, Doctor Hu came with us.

Just say you fell down while practicing horseback riding. Understand?

No!

I was wrong, okay?

Please forgive me.

This is my first time understanding romance.

The moment you fall in love, it comes crashing down on you like tidal waves.

You can't control yourself at all.

That's why I acted so abnormally.

The fact that you're jealous proves that you like me.

I should feel happy.

I shouldn't have gotten angry with you.

You are right.

I was born a prince.

I'm used to it.

My temper is bound to show sometimes.

I won't do it again.

You gave me assurance.

Yet, I made a mess and upset you.

It was my mistake.

Who assured you? I didn't try to assure you.

Fine, you didn't.

Let's go back now.

Try moving your legs.

I'm really worried.

Luckily, your bones aren't hurt.

But my heart is. It hurts.

It was her toes that hurt you, right?

Stop faking it.

Then hit me, okay?

Why did you hit me so hard? You actually went for it? `

♫ When the mountains no longer have ridges ♫

♫ When the river water no longer flows ♫

Xiao Yanzi, don't cry.

It was my fault.

Seeing your tears makes my heart wrench.

My heart's a thumping mess. I don't know what to do.

♫ Still, I won't let you go ♫

Don't scold me anymore.

Don't ever say that I'm nothing.

Likewise, all right?

"Likey-likey?"

I heard your tummy rumbling.

So that's what you mean by "likey-likey".

♫ When all flowers and trees wither completely ♫

♫ Still, I won't part with you ♫

♫ I won't part with you ♫

♫ Your smile is the greatest thing I long for in this life ♫

♫ We will be each other's company, living without regrets ♫

♫ Urging our steeds onward, enjoying the marvels of this world ♫

♫ We will be each other's company, living without regrets ♫

♫ Urging our steeds onward, enjoying the marvels of this world ♫

♫ Latch on to the years of our youth with all our strength ♫

From now on, only you may ride on my steed.

No one else.

I swear.

What... What happened to them?

They just disappeared so suddenly.

Master has asked about them several times.

It's getting dark. Why haven't they returned?

I think you'll all make me insane throughout the journey!

Why is everyone a nervous wreck?

She should have spoken to Young Master last night,

instead of leaving in a rage.

This is your problem too. Why didn't you urge them?

It has become so serious now.

How... How was I supposed to know?

Xiao Yanzi cares about nothing.

Why would she care about Cailian whom we've just met?

Isn't this weird?

When people fall in love, they do strange things.

We can't analyze or understand them using logic.

Here they are! They're back.

Xiao Yanzi.

Lend me a hand.

What happened?

What happened to your leg?

- Ertai, quickly get Doctor Hu to Xiao Yanzi's room. - Hurry.

Hurry up.

Why were you so careless?

Watch out.

Luckily, the nerves and bones were unscathed.

It was only skin deep.

It will heal in a few days' time.

But during this period, hermovement will be affected.

Doctor Hu, are you sure she's fine?

I'm sure.

But she's wounded around her knee.

It will be painful, but you must bear with it.

And remember, don't let the wound come in contact with water.

Why can't you ever sit still?

You had a heatstroke, and then a stomachache.

But instead of resting, you went to practice horseback riding instead?

You're always worrying everyone.

Master, I'm sorry.

Luckily, I'm fine though.

This is Yongqi's fault too. Why didn't you watch her properly?

Father, you are right. It was my fault.

Dinner is ready.

Xiao Yanzi, are you eating with us or will you eat in your room?

I'll eat with everybody!

Watch out!

Master, please don't blame me for going horseback riding.

It was a good thing I went.

You see, my stomach pain is gone.

My heatstroke is gone as well.

I'm so hungry now.

How could you not be?

You ate nothing since last night.

Let's have dinner then.

Ertai, did you already send Cailian away?

How could I do that?

She's as stubborn as a mule.

She insisted that you bought her.

She said that she will stay with you forever.

She can be a maid or even a concubine.

We pitied her. So, we told Master we'll bring her along.

We can't do that!

- Ziwei, how could you... - Don't worry.

If I can't even settle such a small matter, am I still Ziwei?

Ertai was making fun of you.

If she followed us, you wouldn't be the only one with a headache.

All of us will have headaches too.

Don't worry, Erkang has already rented a carriage

and hired a person to send her to Beijing.

Erkang, thank you.

Please forgive me...

for acting like a porcupine last night.

I'm not one for grudges.

But the journey has been interesting.

There was a porcupine and a bee.

Cailian is actually a nice girl.

Young Master could take her back and make her a concubine.

But you chased her away just like that.

She is pitiful.

I'll go look for her. She's probably not too far off.

Please spare me.

I'll be forever grateful.

Laotie is so high and mighty.

With both hands, he lifted the paper lantern.

By the door was a spider web.

With one punch, he made a big hole.

Great!

What are these people doing? Is it some religious cult?

- Ertai, go ask them. - Yes, sir.

As Laotie will soon travel far, we came to see him off.

We couldn't make him stay, as he insisted to travel far.

- Great poem. - Great words.

- It's really good. - Kind sirs.

Master, they are members of the poetry society in the city.

One of their old friends, Laotie is setting off on a far journey,

so they came to write poems by the river, as a farewell.

I didn't expect that there would be poets in such a small town too.

Poetry? Let's take a look.

Great words, great poem.

As the autumn wind blows, it blurs our vision in the east.

As my lover shares a drink with me, he is here only for his reward.

Thank you. It's a great poem.

You are bidding farewell with poems. How truly poetic indeed.

I'm wondering if we could take a look at your masterpieces.

Just you, alone.

Don't dirty our collections.

Sure.

After reading those poems, you'll forgive, "Looking up, I see rats, looking down, I see cockroaches."

Show them to me.

They cherish their works and won't let us see them.

How could that be?

Dear sirs, my master would like to take a look at your masterpieces.

This is not an exhibition! Don't interrupt our inspiration!

Go away...

My master is a poet too.

He saw you writing poems and it intrigued him.

My apologies, but we will be taking a look at them.

- What's going on? - What are they doing?

- Everyone, please calm down. - How could they snatch them?

Once he's done reading them, he will return them immediately.

He will not damage your collections.

If we damage them, we will surely compensate for them.

Compensate? Each word is worth thousands!

- You can't afford it! - You can't afford it!

Thank you, we're returning them to you now.

Ridiculous! You ruined our mood for poetry!

- Yes, you ruined it! - All right.

Poetry isn't some amazing feat.

My maid can write poetry too.

Are you bragging? Your maid can write poems?

- You must be joking. - Are you kidding me?

Ziwei, write a poem for Laotie too.

Yes.

May I borrow a piece of paper and a brush?

Just write here. Don't dirty our collection.

Yes.

[You write...]

[You write a poem...]

[You write a poem for Laotie too.]

"You write a poem for Laotie too."

- You call that a poem? - Writing poetry is not that simple.

"I will write a poem for Laotie too."

You call that a poem?

- What is this? - You call that a poem?

"The red flowers across the north and south of the Yangtze River "

"are like the blood in our tears as we painfully bid farewell."

Miss, you do write poems well!

- Miss, it's a great poem! - Great poem!

You're more than meets the eye.

I am just a maid.

My master is the real poet here.

And our Master J writes excellent poems too.

Our young master and servants all write better than me.

I am nothing.

- Knowledgeable and talented. - It was well-written.

- Knowledgeable and talented. - She wrote well.

Rumor has it that Li Bai was buried near this Caishi Reef.

Many who come here all have the urge to write poems.

There was a great poem among others.

It went, "Like a speck of dirt at the Caishi Reef."

"Li Bai's name will shine on forever."

"People in passing wrote a line or two,"

"like swinging an axe before Lu Ban."

There's always someone better when it comes to poetry.

What's the worst is when a novice meets an expert.

Ziwei, it was a good poem.

It's nothing. I learned it from Master Ji.

When did you learn from me? I never taught you.

I recalled that you have a poem about snow.

I think it went like this.

"One, two, three and four pieces,"

"five, six, seven and eight pieces, nine, ten pieces flying all around,"

"and gone they were into the reeds."

Did I get it right?

You even know this poem.

I wrote it for fun.

Master Ji, your talents can even be seen through your fun.

I respect you so much.

Sadly, I am just a maid.

I can't be your disciple.

Young Ziwei, you indeed impress me.

You've only seen the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Ziwei's talents.

Her talents are immeasurable.

[Zhengyang Gate]

The whole city is always out for the temple festival.

If we want to see how well the people are doing,

we just need to see how merry the festival is.

Indeed, "With Qianlong as our ruler, no pests will ever grow!".

Xiao Yanzi, your leg is injured. Don't push to the front.

That tiny scratch was all healed long ago.

Don't get lost!

Erkang, Ertai. Both of you, follow them.

Yes.

Honey, look at those people. We can't make it through.

Let's settle down here instead.

Yes, tea eggs are harder to sell than cakes.

We need fire and pots.

It would be bad if we hurt others.

Let's just try and sell as many as we can.

How's the business lately?

Just enough to get by.

Sir, do you want some tea eggs?

We boil them with premium red tea.

Take a sniff, doesn't it smell good?

If it doesn't smell or taste good, it's on the house.

Great then, give me ten tea eggs.

Ziwei, pay them.

Yes.

Ziwei!

This is revenge for the followers of Mahayana! Watch my knife!

Master!

Step back, Master!

Ziwei!

Ziwei!

Ziwei!

There are assassins!

Protect the Master!

Master! Master!

Ziwei!

[Tianren House]

Ziwei! Ziwei!

Ziwei!

There's a tree to the right! Hurry and bring His Majesty there!

Master!

Master!

Master! Ziwei!

Doctor! Doctor!

Your Majesty, we got separated in the chaos just now.

Don't worry, I will look for him now.

E Min, you stay here and protect His Majesty.

What is there to protect? Get Doctor Hu now! It's safe here!

- Yes... - I'll look for him.

His Majesty has retreated to the tree.

Ziwei is badly injured. Go quickly!

Okay!

Go!

Ziwei, Young Ziwei!

Stay awake!

Look at me. Talk to me!

Young Ziwei!

Your Majesty, am I dying?

What are you talking about?

It's a small injury. You won't die!

Doctor Hu! Doctor!

Your Majesty...

If I die...

can I ask you for one thing?

What is it?

Please...

Please spare Xiao Yanzi's life.

What are you talking about? No one will die.

We have no bad intentions.

Please...Please spare Xiao Yanzi's life.

Ziwei! Stay strong!

The doctor is on his way! He'll be here soon!

Doctor! Doctor!

- Ziwei, stay strong! - The doctor is here!

Ziwei, you stay strong!

Your Majesty, let her down first.

Let me take a look at her.

Ziwei!

How did this happen?

How did you get stabbed?

Oh my god, Ziwei!

I promised Jinsuo that you'd be safe!

But now you're stabbed!

What should I do, Ziwei?

Ziwei!

Jinsuo! Jinsuo!

Please take care of Jinsuo.

What are you saying? Be brave!

Nothing will happen to you, Ziwei! Be brave!

Nothing will happen, Ziwei!

Ziwei, you'll be fine.

Ziwei...

Father. Lord Ding is here with his army.

All rebels have been caught.

They are the remnants of Mahayana.

Since the day we caught scumbag, Luo, they've had their eye on us.

They are being sent for trial now.

Greetings from your courtier, Ding Chengxian to Your Majesty.

I came late for I was unaware Your Majesty was here.

Your courtier deserves to die!

Long live Your Majesty!

Keep it down! Keep quiet for now!

Doctor, how is Ziwei?

Find a clean place quickly. I need to pull the dagger out.

Where is the nearest place? Hurry!

If Your Majesty doesn't mind, you could come to my manor.

What are we waiting for? Go!

Doctor Hu, tell me the truth.

Is there a risk in pulling out the dagger?

Replying to Your Majesty.

Miss Ziwei is not wounded near her heart.

But the veins ruptured and she's bleeding excessively.

It is evident.

When the dagger is pulled out, I'm afraid she may not stand it.

It is truly risky.

I gave her ginseng to chew on, but...

I'll follow you and watch you pull the dagger out.

Yes.

I need someone to hold her head

and press her upper body so that her body doesn't move.

I'll do it.

No, let me do it.

I will hold you steady.

Since I am the emperor, I can give you strength.

You must not fail me, understand?

Your Majesty.

When I pull out the dagger, blood may splatter everywhere.

Shouldn't you let others...

Don't think too much. Saving her is much important.

All of you should leave.

Xiao Yanzi, you should go too.

No! I'll stay with her.

I can't leave her.

Father, if it is fine,

let us watch the dagger being pulled out.

In the days we've been together, we have all become one big family.

We will not feel rested without seeing her safe.

Plus, we can give her support.

Ziwei, I will pull it out now.

It will be a little painful.

But we have no choice. It must be done.

Hold on.

Young Ziwei. It's just a little pain, you will be fine.

I won't let anything happen to you. Do not be scared, okay?

Your Majesty...

I need a favor from you.

- Your Majesty... - Yes, go ahead.

We have to pull this dagger now. We cannot delay any longer.

Your Majesty, please promise me.

No matter what mistakes Xiao Yanzi makes in the future,

please...please spare her life.

All right, I will spare her live.

Can you be at ease now?

Erkang, I need a favor from you too.

Do tell.

If anything happens to me,

please take care of Jinsuo.

I'll entrust her to you.

Yes.

Please pull it out now.

Ziwei!

Ziwei!

Ziwei! Ziwei!

She's dead.

- Ziwei! She's dead. - Ziwei!

- Ziwei... - Ziwei...

Ziwei...

- Xiao Yanzi, what happened to you? - Ziwei!

Ziwei!

Ziwei! Ziwei!

Don't panic. She's still alive.

You're lying. I need to see her!

Calm down. That room is a chaos now.

His Majesty and the imperial doctor are stopping her bleeding.

Lord Ding also brought the best doctor in the city here.

The doctors say although it looks serious,

her organs are not injured.

So she will be fine.

She will live.

She will definitely live.

If you're there, you will cry, scream or faint.

You will just cause everyone more panic.

We're barely managing with her. How can we take care of you too?

Just lay down and rest, okay?

You look as pale as she does.

You swear she's still alive?

I swear she's still alive.

Then swear to me that she won't die!

I swear to you she won't die now.

What do you mean by "She won't die now"?

I knew it. She will die eventually!

Am I right? Am I right?

What I meant was all of us will die in a hundred years' time anyway!

Then, she'll live?

Yes.

His Majesty asked many times too.

The doctors all said so.

What's the saying again? People... blessed...

Kind people will be blessed.

That's right.

You just had your wounds patched up. Why not take some rest?

Why are you daydreaming here?

Father is panicking. He's looking for you everywhere.

Stop feeling so down.

Didn't you hear it too?

Doctor Hu gave his guarantee that she's doing well.

Her life isn't at risk.

She hasn't woken up and is so weak only because she bled too much.

Lord Ding has brought out all of the best medicines in his house.

Don't worry, she'll be fine.

Is His Majesty still by her side?

Yes, His Majesty and the doctors are looking after her.

Xiao Yanzi is there too.

Ertai, I've decided.

What is it?

When she recovers, I will take her away.

Please look after our parents.

You must take care of them for me and pledge your loyalty to His Majesty.

Stop messing around. How could you do that?

You're the inheritor of a noble title.

You are our parents' biggest pride.

His Majesty thinks highly of you and the nation needs you.

You can't forget and throw everything away just because of Ziwei.

That won't do!

You won't only hurt our parents' feelings,

Ziwei won't listen to you as well.

She would never leave with you!

She's so extraordinarily wise.

She'll never let you betray your loyalty and filial duty!

Don't be ridiculous.

Moreover, His Majesty treats her so well.

She'll never bear to leave now.

But I'm about to go crazy!

Each time she's in trouble,

I feel like my body and soul are in torment.

I can't help her or save her.

When His Majesty treats her well, my heart's in a frenzy.

When His Majesty treats her badly, my heart's a frenzy too.

I can't keep living like this!

Take now for instance.

How I wish I'm the one beside her and comforting her!

But...His Majesty is in the way!

Quiet down! Stop it.
