[Mirror: A Tale of Twin Cities]

[Episode 4]

I ordered more pastries from the kitchen, it's all the ones you like Princess.

If today's lessons end early, I will accompany you to the gardens.

Princess, I feel like you are in a much better mood lately.

- Is that so?
- Yes!

When we just came to the Pagoda, you were frowing all the time.

But lately, you seem full of vitality.

By the way, how come I haven't seen Su Mo these days?

He went to the auxiliary palace.

Once his eyes are recovered, he can handle heavy work.

- He went to the auxiliary palace?
- Yes.

I also think that this Su Mo is a little weird.

Everyone else is battling to come to the main palace.

He volunteered himself to go to the auxiliary palace.

Did he go to the auxiliary palace to avoid me?

Even though my eyes recovered

it would be best to leave the Pagoda as soon as possible and search somewhere else.

Your Highness.

Your eyes are healed?

Thanks to your care, my eyes recovered.

I am headed to the Pavilion of books to have a look.

Will you come with me?

This Pavilion of books is Jing Pagoda's restricted area.

Those who aren't allowed can't enter.

Then you?

Anyways, I can't sleep.

I just wanted to come and get a book.

Is there a book you would like to read?

Reading the one your Highness wants to read is fine.

Thank you.

Biluo Sea.

Isn't that where your Quanxian Tribe lives?

Isn't Biluo Sea prettier than this drawing?

I never went to Biluo Sea.

Then, you were born in Yunhuang.

Would you tell me your story?

My story isn't really happy.

The you that I met at Xianghan Paradise, the you that I met at the Bai Royal Residence

and the one you are now aren't the same?

I want to know what happened.

I thought you didn't remember me.

I thought, you kept thinking of me as a stranger.

We have been strangers from the beginning.

Your Highness, do you know A'li?

She always helped me.

She told me a lot of her worries.

She's a really good friend of mine.

A'li is really lucky

to have you as a friend.

Thank you, for being my friend.

Pretend my eyes aren't healed yet.

You're not the Crown Princess.

Alright.

It's already that late.

Who's in the Pavilion of Books.

Who's in here?

You're so diligent. I'll let you become Crown Prince.

Who is it?

Stand there!

Stop right there!

It's you.

You're the one from Xinghan Paradise.

- You're mistaken.
- I'm not.

I saw you save that girl with my own eyes.

Talk. Why are you here?

I'm carrying the orders of the Crown Princess.

I came to get a book from the Pavilion of Books.

Where's the book?

I didn't find it.

The Jing Pagoda is Kongsang's restricted area.

How did you get here?

How do you think I came here?

You can't really be the Crown Prince?

I am Kongsang's Crown Prince.

I also don't believe it.

Such a coincidence.

If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave.

Is the Crown Princess safe and sound?

You can go check it out yourself, Crown Prince.

I can't see her before our wedding.

I'm very curious about what kind of woman I am marrying.

If the Crown Princess isn't as you imagined,

will you not marry her?

If she's not the one you admire, will you free her?

This was decided by the High Priest and the Empress Dowager.

So you'll just resign yourself.

Then why are you curious.

Your Highness.

How did you escape?

He knew I am the Crown Princess's lackey, so he let me go.

At first,

how were you chosen to become lackey?

I didn't come to the Pagoda willingly.

People are still waiting for me at the bottom of the Pagoda.

Now that your eyes are cured, maybe it's time for you to leave the tower.

I still own you a favor.

I will pay you back.

Rest well, Your Highness.

You better remember my voice.

Do it during when she enjoys the moon.

Why didn't you do it? Have you gone soft for her?

Try to get into the main hall and be closer to Crown Princess.

I was in Bai Manor so many years for this exact moment.

Prince Qing hurt your eyes so Crown Princess would pity you more.

The wine is ready. Neither of us can back out.

Do it when she get drunk tonight.

If you fail the mission, all the Merpeople will be killed.

Tell me. Why are you here?

Crown Princess ordered me to retrieve books from the Pavilion of Books.

I didn't think he was a simple person when I first met him at Xinghan Paradise.

Now he showed up at this Jing Pagoda.

Who is he exactly?

Crown Prince.

High Priest, you came at the right moment. Come.

Your Highness, your wedding gown is ready.

I'm here to have you try it.

That's not important. I have something more important

I need to ask you about. Here. Sit.

What would you like to ask me?

I found Merpeople everywhere since I arrived at Kongsang.

Aren't they supposed to be in Biluo Sea?

Why are they in Kongsang?

Seven thousand years ago, king of Kongsang fought the Quanxian

and killed their Sea Emperor.

He also sealed their Dragon God.

After that, they lost their protection.

They can never contend with Kongsang anymore.

Now they can only survive in Yunhuang.

Why did Your Highness suddenly ask about Quanxian?

What happened?

When I first arrived in Jing City, I mistakenly entered Xinghai Paradise.

The people in that place are very pitiful.

High Priest.

Do you know what Xinghai Paradise is about?

According to rumor,

it's Prince Qing's business.

It started as a place where the rich and the royalty for fun.

Later on, they started engaging illegal activities.

They torture Merpeople as entertainment.

- Nobody stops them?
- The king is ill.

He has no time for that.

Besides, it belongs to Prince Qing. Nobody dare to stop it.

Your Highness, why are you concerned about it all of sudden?

Nothing. I'm just casually asking.

Then try on the outfit, Your Highness.

Alright.

Come over.

Report.

Your Highness, a secret letter from Xi Jing General.

Prince Lan died in battle. Ye City is in danger.

High Priest, why didn't anyone report Prince Lan's death in Ye City?

What?

I need to see Xi Jing.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, if Xi Jing General is notifying you secretly,

there must be a reason.

You mean...

I need to see Xi Jing. The sooner the better.

High Priest, help me.

- I understand.
- Go, go, go.

After Prince Lan died in battle, what did you do?

There is a group of Cangliu soldiers stationed outside of Ye City for a long while.

They most likely knew the patrol layout clearly.

The general of the group is Shi Peng, one of five masters of Cangliu.

He is leading the reconnaissance.

I'm assuming Cangliu will send more soldiers soon to invade Kongsang.

We need to transfer more cavalries to assist.

That will need King's decree. I hope Your Highness can get it.

No problem. Leave it to me.

Your Majesty, Xin Jing General reported late last night

that Cangliu has been on the attacks and they need more troops to protect Ye City.

Then send more troops. Why didn't he report it himself?

The closest to Ye City is Prince's Qing's Chang Yang Mountain.

I understand.

To ask Prince Qing to send troops now

would not be an easy thing to do.

We need to plan it out.

I know.

Your forget etiquette again. Go back down.

Look.

You tell me.

I captured owner of Xinhai Paradise during the night.

Xinhai Paradise is where Prince Qing colludes with other powerful people.

Where rich gets more money and where they sell Merpeople.

I knew of it.

But I'm often sick in bed and can't do much about it.

We shut down Xinhai Paradise

means we cut off his source of income.

But if you do that, you are fighting Prince Qing face to face.

- I'm afraid...
- Afraid of what?

Cangliu is on the invasion course. The most important thing is fighting the enemy.

You are my son indeed.

Come, come.

I feel at ease to leave Kongsang to you.

Your Majesty.

I'm only afraid that my body can't hang on longer.

Can you call me "Royal father?"

Royal father.

Is it really that hard, you punk?

Royal father.

My Lord, Xin Jing has transferred the Chang Yang Mountain battalions.

I didn't realized Prince Chengguan can manage this.

I thought that old thing is almost dead and can't do anything.

He actually use Xinhai Paradise to coerce me.

So are we doing nothing?

I'm going to pay them back.

If Xin Jing dare to use my soldier,

then I'm going to put debt on his head.

Kongsang, Ye City

- Xin Jing General
- Hong Yuan General

These are new soldiers I recruited from the six branches.

They are brave, decisive, and confident.

They are willing to fight with you against the Cangliu.

Soldiers!

Today, Cangliu tries to invade us Kongsang.

As the men of Kongsang,

are you willing to annihilate Cangliu with me?

Annihilate Cangliu! Annihilate Cangliu!

Xin Jing!

Crown Prince.

Enough with the etiquette.

- Where are the Cangliu force now?
- Cangliu dispatched 10,000 troops.

They burned and pillaged unstopped all the way.

I believe they will be at Ye City very soon.

You tell me the truth, can you hold on?

Even if we only have one person left,

we will protect Ye City with our flesh.

Princess, I lighted the calming incense to help you sleep.

- You sleep early too.
- Yes.

What did you do?

Prince Qing chose the wrong person.

You always show up at the wrong time. You failed when I had everything prepared for you.

So I'm doing it myself.

Princess has been having problem sleeping. But tonight, she will sleep very well.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

I'm sorry.

Water...

Su Mo.

Su Mo!

Your Highness, you are awake.

You were poisoned by Guiling Spider.

That night...

You were the one who gave me the water and not Yao'er.

That day, you drank too much.

I could only fed you water.

Thanks.

What's with your mouth?

You guided the poison of the Ghost Spider on yourself.

It's fine. Don't you worry!

I'll find a solution to get rid of the poison.

If you really had a solution, you wouldn't have attracted the poison of the Ghost Spider on yourself.

Even so, Your Highness is already awake, so I'll take my leave.

I'll have Yao'er come take care of you.

Enter.

This medicine is given to you by Princess.

Thanks a lot.

Let me ask you, how were you fortunately aware that the princess was poisoned?

Are you the one who sent the Ghost Spider to harm the Crown Princess?

- No.
- Then that's for the best.

Su Mo, let me tell you.

The Crown Princess is so good to you, you should remember your place.

Don't let down the Crown Princess who trusts you.

How's the situation right now?

The traitors from Cangliu are besieging Ye City from the East, North and West.

According to our spies, the traitors have a granary about 30 li away in the North-East.

The forces are the weakest on the West.

It seems they are luring us on purpose.

So they know the principles of besieging the master to force the mistake.

The city walls of Ye City are solid, I'm afraid they don't have any other ways.

Then we should put emphasis on defense and stop them quietly.

Yes.

Reporting to the General. The Cangliu army led by Master Peng is already here!

[Ye City]

Soldiers! Today's fight will decide on Ye City's fate.

will decide on Ye City's fate.

We will lay our lives for Ye City and die with her.

Die with her! Die with her!

Archers!

Get ready!

[Ye City]

Stop!

Yun Mo.

Madam.

[Yun Mo, Kongsang, General Xi Jing's wife]

Xi Jing!

Quickly open the gates and retreat.

If you delay a second,

I will slice out your wife's arm.

If you delay two seconds,

I'll tear one of her legs out.

Are you willing to see her suffer?

Yun Mo.

This life,

I have no regrets.

A great battle is imminent. Nothing is more important than protecting Kongsang.

I also want to protect you.

General Xi Jing, you are hesitating.

Soldier! Let's give General Xi Jing his wife's arm!

You are foremost Kongsang's general, then after Xi Jing.

General!

Bring her back!

- General Xi Jing!
- Madam!

Charge!

Protect Ye City with your life!

[Ye City]

You may take your leave.

General.

I brought back Madam's body.

It was Madam's righteous sacrifice that saved Ye City.

I understand what you did.

It's my fault.

I should have stayed at the residence.

And protected Madam.

When I was born,

the snowy cherry blossoms where just in bloom.

So I believe,

if I see snowy cherry blossoms,

good things will happen.

Before leaving the Pagoda,

that is the last thing I will do for you.

[Yan Xi, Quanxian, Merpeople]

- Su Mo?
- It's me.

You finally came. No one followed you?

- No. Did you find what I asked you?

I reported it to the Elders.

They sent people to Jing City to search for Aunt Ru.

The Qing King has three secret wards in Jing City. Aunt Ru must be in one of them.

It's just that after last time when you charged in Xinghan Paradise, the wards' security increased.

It won't be that easy to save her.

As long as we can find which ward it is, I can save Aunt Ru.

The wards also imprison many other people forum other clans.

The Elders said that we shouldn't only save Aunt Ru, but the others too.

Alright.

We must plan this carefully.

There's something else.

The Elders worry that it won't be that easy to save them.

So, Elder Quan wants to make a blood pact with the Qing King.

Thus forcing him to free the clans' people.

There are only three days before the wedding.
[Qing Royal Residence]

Don't worry. Before the wedding ceremony,

I'll surely accomplish my promise.

In the name of Quanxian Tribe, I'll make a promise with Lord Qing.

What did you do?!

This is Quanxian Tribe's blood pact.

Release Aunt Ru and the others. Furthermore, promise to never hurt Bai Ying again.

Otherwise, I'll trigger the blood pact.

You must know what the consequences are.

Are you joking?

If you're so powerful, why did you degenerate up until now?

If you don't believe me,

you can try it out.

- Your Highness.
- Princess.

High Priest.

What's the matter? What happened?

Both A'Yu and Su Mo are missing.

They're missing?

What do you mean?

Your Highness, I'm investigating the incident of you being attacked by a ghost spirit spider.

Now A'Yu and Su Mo are missing successively.

Maybe both of them had something to do with it.

No. Su Mo surely had nothing to do with it.

How do you know it has nothing to do with Su Mo?

Were you not truthful with me?

I did tell you the truth.

I'll surely investigate this thoroughly.

Please don't worry, Your Highness.

Princess, what should we do? A'Yu and Su Mo are currently missing.

- Are you saying it's unlikely that both of them were working together?
- Yes.

When Su Mo went up the pagoda, A'Yu highly recommended to let him stay and serve in the main hall.

Now that I think about it, it's kinda suspicious.

It can't be Su Mo.

Pr-Princess.

In that case, I'll ask around.

Princess, don't worry.

Su Mo, did you make the snow cherry blossoms bloom?

Have you already left?

Princess.

You've been standing here all day. We should hurry back to the bedroom.

Princess, the wedding ceremony is in two days.

Don't think about those things.

Today is the Flower Deity Festival, right?

Princess.

Do me a favor.

You shouldn't have a blood pact with Lord Qing.

It's fine for me to die, but you're different.

We're all the same. I want to save everyone.

- But you are...
- Aunt, don't worry.

This Lord Wang is greedy for life and is afraid to die. He'll surely give in.

Besides, we've lived longer than the Kongsang people.

But I know the dangers of the blood pact.

It's not worth it to risk your life for Lord Qing.

Lord Qing isn't worth it.

But it's worth it for me to do it for Auntie and the others.

Don't say that you're not the emperor of the sea later.

Everything you've done is sufficient proof that you can bear the responsibility of Sea Emperor.

I should call you Young Master.

Young Master, let's go back to Jing Lake camp.

I still have one more thing to do. I'll go back tomorrow.

Young Master, what else is there to do?

Aunt Ru, don't worry. It's just a little matter.

The fireworks are very pretty!

It's so pretty.

Look. How pretty.

It's very lively.

Prin...

Miss, we came to see the Flower Deity Festival too.

Let's hurry back to the top of the pagoda, Okay?

I haven't made a wish yet. Isn't that why we came?

Bai Ying, Biluo Sea is very beautiful.

We can incessantly look at the Seven Sea together and listen to the sound of the continuous waves.

I wonder if there's still such a chance.

[Lord Qing Mansion]

Lord Qing.

Ye City suddenly has more guards. Do you know what's going on?

Master Peng, don't be too anxious.

Do they think they can defend Ye City with just a few more soldiers?

I've already cut off their provisions. They won't be able to last a few days.

That's good.

I still have one more thing to ask.

I'll report it to that Lord.

Lord.

- Lord.
- What's the matter?

News from Jing Pagoda. Crown Princess came down the pagoda.

Slow down. Be careful.

Sorry.

Come here.

Tell me.

Look. What's that?

That's the Flower Deity Tree.

It's so pretty.
