[The Inextricable Destiny]

[Episode 17]

Rong Yu, Rong Yu.

Didn't we agree to a lifetime?

I'm not angry.

I just don't want to be greedy anymore.

He Jiuling.

I've become a thief.

But I hope

you can be with someone you like

who also likes you

and be happily ever after,

with children and grandchildren.

Rong Yu, why aren't you speaking?

Rong Yu?

Rong Yu?

Are you alright?

Miss.

Miss.

Miss?

Miss.

Miss.

What is it?

Master Rong.

Miss Tan is here.

- She's still asleep. Wait for a while.
- Okay.

Morning.

- Last night…
- Last night…

Last night…

I'm sorry about what happened last night.

But…

It's all my fault.

Let's not mention it anymore.

Tan is here to see you.

Use the hunting enclosure

and steal the military token.

Every time Wu Ritan comes,

she rushes out in a hurry.

What exactly are they up to?

Get more men to protect the young Master.

Something's up in the capital.

Young master.

Go to the Ministry of Justice

and use the name of astrological predictions

to get the files of the He Family case.

Get some of the other files as well,

[Rong's Mansion]
so that it won't attract attention.

- Master, why…
- Do not ask why.

I…

Get a clear blueprint of the mansion

and get familiar with it.

- Arrange for people to get in and stand by.
- Yes.

But the object is small

and important,

so even if someone does get in,

where should they start?

There are a hundred Gold Insects

and they can detect gold objects.

My master and I used to mess around with them.

Who'd think they would come in handy like this?

Okay.

There's something else.

Recently I've been browsing
through medical books

and there was a medicinal herb called

Celestial Grass.

But most of the pharmacies
I asked didn't have it.

Do you know where I can find any?

Such a small herb

can only be used to cure headaches and fevers.

It's hard to find and not easy to store.

Once picked,

it only has medical efficacies
for two or three hours,

so it has long been extinct in the market.

If you're feeling unwell,

I can prescribe some other herbs for you.

It's not for me.

I have other uses for it.

Just tell me where I can find it

and I will go and look for it myself.

I heard from the herbalist

that it was seen on Jingshan,

all in hard-to-find locations

and you might not recognize it.

How about this?

I'll send my herbalist to scout for it,

and if I get any news, I will let you know

- and you can pick it yourself.
- Thank you.

The Regent.

Lord Zhongyong.

Nanjiang is so far and dangerous,

and it would be hard to know
about any drastic changes here.

Instead of going through all the trouble

to eradicate the He family,

why not wait for everything to settle down
and then make use of it?

There were superior strategies,

but why choose the inferior one?

Master, school is over.

All the kids have gone home.

[Astrology Pavilion]

Are you surprised that I came
to pick you up from school today?

A little, yes.

What did you learn

in the literacy class?

I haven't been attending
literacy classes recently.

Never mind, your wife

doesn't know many words anyway.

It's fine if you can't keep up.

The weather is nice today, so let me take you

kite-flying in the suburbs, alright?

This big tiger belongs to you.

- Do… Do I get one too?
- Of course, you are a child too.

But I'm not.

This big tiger belongs to you.

[Astrology Pavilion]

Rong Yu, how did you know?

- What?
- Young master, Madam.

Are you okay?

Are you scared?

What? What happened?

What happened? Why did the plaque fall down?

T-This…

How could this plaque fall down like that?

- How did this happen?
- I know, right?

Why?

You must have been scared.

It's okay.

You're back.

Yes.

He Jiuling.

Are you planning to take Yu out again?

The capital has been quite chaotic recently.

Do you know that?

I do.

He fell into the water last time.

Didn't it make you learn your lesson?

I will stay by his side.

I won't let anything happen to him.

Uncle.

Somehow, the Astrology Pavilion was smashed.

What got smashed?

It's the plaque, sir.

The plaque of Astrology Pavilion,
personally inscribed by the late Emperor,

fell down for no apparent reason.

Let's go.

Wait.

If you really want to go out and play,

the young emperor is going
on a hunting trip tomorrow,

and you two should come with me.

Am I going too?

- Do you not want to?
- No.

It's just that in past years,
there was no precedent

for bringing family members to the hunt.

It might not be proper…

I understand.

Jiuling.

My dear.

Let's move to the other mansion

after the hunting trip.

You love chestnuts, don't you?

The steward told me that
the chestnut trees there

have produced a lot of fruit.

If we go there, we can eat chestnuts every day.

Let's go.

As soon as we arrived at the hunting ground,
my younger brother was looking around.

I bet he's looking for you.

You're flattering me, Your Highness.

Although I've been conferred
the title of Princess,

I'm still not used

to you calling me that.

In a while,

I probably shouldn't call you
Your Highness anymore.

My father told me

the new king had ascended
to the throne in Xunnan.

The marriage alliance not
completed four years ago

has been brought up again.

You're going to be the Queen in Xunnan.

Congratulations in advance.

That can wait until it's settled.

But by that time,

many would be laughing at me.

this new King of Xunnan

was the unpopular Prince Yong.

He came to Jialin four years ago,

asking to marry He Jiuling

in a persistent and determined manner.

Rumors were all over the place.

Now he's marrying me,

and I'm just a make-do.

Becoming a Queen is not make-do.

Few men

would pine for a woman for four years.

Even if there is,

sooner or later, the affection would be
torn to pieces by the power

and boundless temptation at hand.

People are fickle.

This thing called love

is most worthless.

What difference does the illusory love make?

I've read so many books

and I haven't seen any episode

of a love-laden story

having a good ending.

Rather, many get hurt due to deep love.

- There will be a competition.
- For His Majesty to see.

I have heard there would be many rewards.

The annual hunt is a competition itself.

I don't know why they have to add one

and invite so many people.

Are you tired?

I slept too well

and you must be tired.

Next time, just wake me up directly.

Look, they're over there.

Young Lord.

I'm looking forward to your score.

These years, you have been
learning famous sword techniques

from a famous master,

and finally, there is a chance for us to see.

We were just saying

you would definitely be in the top three.

No problem.

What top three?

There are many talents in the court.

I'm not impressive at all.

At most, compared to a few years ago,

I'm just ten or eighty percent better.

Young Lord is being modest. Look.

Now,

I can only fight three to five people at most.

One person fighting three to five
people is actually quite ordinary.

Like the 'Cat Cradling Prince',

single-handedly swept half a street
of the gambling house.

That's really impressive.

You…

Making a mountain out of a molehill,

who told you that?

Young Lord, we will leave first.

Let's go.

- Wait, what they said…
- Was a mountain out of a molehill.

We know. We understand.

What do you understand? You weren't there.

Let me tell you,

this thing is basically true.

Among all the men in Jialin,

I only admire the 'Cat Cradling Prince',
understand?

Yes. Yes. We do.

You are the epitome of humility.

Let's wait and watch the battle tomorrow.

This time, many noble ladies have come too.

At that time, everyone would see

your peerless elegance.

Young Master Zhang.

Where is Lord Rong?

He spent the whole night looking at the stars

and sent someone to tell
the Regent in the morning

that he wanted to rest.

Seriously?

I think he just doesn't want

to sit with his niece-in-law.

After all, he's not his biological child.

However indulged he was before,

he has been foolish for all these years

with no improvement.

Even if the heart was hot,

it would get cold eventually.

I know.

The Astrology Pavilion
has lost the royal favor.

Now it doesn't even have a decent heir.

With superstitions,

no one believes it from the beginning.

If it weren't for the Young Master's

striking popularity

and the former emperor being a face-judger,

it would have failed long ago.

By now,

it is probably even more of a disaster.

The Emperor has arrived.

The Emperor is here. Let's go.

The Emperor is here.

Perform well during the hunting period.

To encourage you all to strengthen your bodies,

and also to select talents this year,

His Majesty specially held
a martial arts competition.

I hope all the young talents…

You are still the same as before.

Will actively participate.

Why are you laughing?

Amused by the fair match
of an evil woman and a silly man.

How could a woman

ask her husband to attend to her?

He Jiuling knows no manners.

She bosses people around under everyone's eyes.

I can't imagine what she would do in private.

Only Rong Yu would be so foolish

to tolerate her insult.

- The first prize is a horse and a sword.
- Wait.

For the first prize,

how is a sword and a horse enough?

Whoever gets the top spot today,

if they already have an official position,

I'll promote them.

If they are still a commoner,

I'll let them enter the palace directly.

That's very generous.

Your Majesty.

Wouldn't that be too arbitrary?

What's the matter?

It's the top place, right?

I just felt the prize was not enough.

Is everyone planning to have fun

and be done with me?

Or are you saying

I can't even make

such a small demand?

Well, it's not like that.

What is it then?

Alright.

All up to the Emperor's will.

Okay.

As His Majesty has said,

if the first winner is a court official,

they would be promoted.

If they are a civilian,

they will enter the court to serve.

[Yuanqing Mansion]

[Closed Today]
Miss He cannot participate in person.

According to her orders,

the Lord's Mansion would be empty,

and we commence the operation at 5 a.m.

Wang Mang wins.

- Be careful.
- Okay, Dad.

The Young Lord Zhongyong wins.

Good.

- Impressive.
- Well done, Young lord.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Are you bored from sitting here?

Let me take you to fly a kite.

- Do you want to go?
- Who else?

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

Come on,

Is the Young Master

challenging the Young Lord?

Congratulations on your victory, Young Lord.

My husband didn't stand up

to challenge the heir.

I apologize if there

has been any misunderstanding.

This is a contest

arranged by His Majesty.

Why is the Young Master

treating it like a joke?

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Let's say it was a misunderstanding.

There's no way I can compete

with the likes of Master Rong.

Yeah, yeah. We all know

what the Young Master is like.

Don't make it hard for him.

Yeah, that's right.

Silence.

Everybody keep quiet!

Is there anyone else who wants
to try their skills with me?

Does anyone dare to come out

and challenge me?

Anyone?

Let's exchange a few moves.

Me.

If my husband doesn't want to,

I will.

You?

You're a woman.

So what? I don't recall His Majesty forbidding

women from participating.

Interesting.

Indeed, I did not say that women
can't be in the arena.

I am actually interested.

Your Majesty.

This is not right.

Why not?

I've heard that my royal grandmother

was famous for her good
martial arts and sword skills.

Even my royal grandfather
often exchanged moves with her.

So why can't women and men

have a contest?

Indeed, Your Majesty.

But He Jiuling

is the daughter of a criminal,

and she is not worthy
to fight with my good boy.

Nonsense.

Don't listen.

Young Master.

You are ill,

and I

will let this slide.

But I won't.

From now on, you are not welcome
in the Astrology Pavilion.

So don't come

for divination.

- Young master.
- Don't call me.

- Rong Yu.
- I'm here.

Don't let this trifle ruin the atmosphere.

It's just He Jiuling.

Cousin, just beat her down and be done with it.

I…

I've made up my mind.

He Jiuling,

go get a weapon.

Yes.

- Madam.
- Wait for me. I'll go beat him up.

Min.

Young lord, come on.

- Young lord.
- Min, slow down.

Min.

He Jiuling wins.

Let me go.

The young lord was defeated by her.

The young lord just didn't want

to really fight with a woman.

Anyone?

Does no one dare to fight?

I was harsh to her before.

I don't know if she holds a grudge.

Don't make eye contact with me.

You!

Me?

Come on up.

Mrs. Rong,

this is not a challenge.

His Majesty never said

the victor could not challenge anyone.

Your Majesty,

there have been rules to martial arts contests
since ancient times.

If the victor on the stage
can challenge anyone freely,

those clearly inferior to her

would have no way to survive.

She's resolving a personal vendetta.

Are you admitting to being inferior to a woman?

What is your family name?

Who is your father?

What was your ranking
in this year's spring exam?

I…

Now you're talking about rules.

Why didn't you follow them just now?

Everyone knows the Young Master
didn't study martial arts.

So why did his standing up

count as challenging the Young Lord

and no one was willing to back down?

Perhaps you have remembered it wrong.

It wasn't me who was causing trouble.

Your Majesty, my son is ignorant.
Please forgive him.

Go up quickly.

Stop embarrassing me.

Good. I admire your courage.

He was defeated so quickly.

Rong Yu is better than you in every aspect.

I warned you four years ago.

If I see you talking nonsense again…

I was wrong. I won't do it anymore.

I'm sorry. I won't dare ever again.

He Jiuling wins.

Anyone else?

The entire venue is suppressed by a woman.

- Yes.
- What is going on?

What a disgrace.

Who would dare to go up?

Where's Young General Yan?

He's over there,

General Yan, it's your turn.

Yes, that's right,

General Yan, come on. General Yan, go on.

- I won't compete.
- Lie'er.

Father.

Pick up the sword.

You know

I won't harm the He family again…

Take it.

Take this!

He's really bleeding.

Is he bleeding?

What?

He Jiuling wins.

She even defeated General He,

Good.

That was great.

Impressive.

You…

If no one dares to fight again,

He Jiuling will be the winner
of this competition.

When He Jiuling is like this,

nobody can beat her, right?

- Lord Li.
- Yes.

Didn't you say

that you've invited all the young talents
from the capital?

How can they not match up
to a woman from the backyard?

I…

I apologize.

You apologize all the time

and it's useless.

I will reward her personally.

As for the reward I add…

He Jiuling,

do you want to enter the palace
as a military officer?

T-This…

Your Majesty, please reconsider.

Your Majesty, although she is married,

she's still once a part of the He family.

The officials are right.

The competition is not over yet

and it's still too early
to make a conclusion now.

I still want to challenge someone.

Who can fight with you?

The Young Master can.

What?

What is she doing?

Come on.

What is this about?

Hold it and stab me.

Stab you?

- W-What?
- Rong Yu, take the sword.

Stab me.

I…

Stab this way.

How can this count?

Does it hurt?

No.

- This is child's play!
- The Young Master of Astrology Pavilion wins.

So, Rong Yu is the winner

of this competition?

That's absurd.

This is an arena,

and it's a competition.

What you just did was obviously fake,

and I will not pretend not to see it.

I wasn't faking it.

The only one who can defeat Jiuling

is Rong Yu.

Beside him,

no one else can make me

willingly fail.

That's true.

I defeated other people

and the Young Master defeated me,

so, he's the winner.

At least,

I think so in my heart.

Since you are the winner,

I will grant you, Rong Yu,

The role of the Commanding Inspector.

Your Majesty, there's no such position.

Then, we'll create one.

No need to do much.

You just oversee the generals,

commanders and the like.

See whether they are doing their job.

So this position is higher
than generals and commanders.

It is decided.

Yes.

Congratulations.

wait for me,

Rong Yu.

I'm tired. I can't walk anymore.

Rong Yu,

why are you upset?

Is it because I made the decision

without asking you?

Just take a look at them now, all of them

are sulked and speechless.

Who dares to defy you now?

Even if they are aggrieved,

they have to call you,

Lord Inspector.

Here, apart from His Majesty,

you are the highest-ranking.

You asked me to pick up the sword

and stab you.

Well,

of course, I'd dodge.

Okay, I see.

It's my fault.

It won't happen again.

He Jiuling.

You should at least act
like a martial artist, okay?

You need to know the limit when wooing a man.

Can't you see he's distant?

Stop embarrassing yourself.

This is not your business.

Also, Young Lord, you're wrong.

I am not wooing any man.

I am wooing my husband.

I…

The Three Obediences and Four Virtues

have certainly brought great harm.
