[ Jiu Liu Overlord ]

[ Episode 29 ]

This subject son recommends using the secret water-shipping route

to ship the grains from the south to the north, and solve the grain shortage problem in Chang'an.

Reporting to Your Majesty, I spent many years in water transport,

but have never heard of a secret water-shipping channel.

I've heard it mentioned by the people in the water-shipping gangs.

They have their own secret channel.

The sluice gates aren't open during normal times.

When it's necessary, the sluice gates are opened upon orders,

and they form a water channel that can be used by ships.

Your Majesty, even if there is a secret water-shipping channel,

it still requires the mobilization of a great number of soldiers.

Right now the disaster in Hebei has not been eliminated,

if we use the military to transport grains, I'm afraid that will leave a void in front of the enemy.

Reporting to Royal Father, it's true that we cannot use a large-scale military force to do the water shipping.

However, we can draw on civilian support, such as Pure Rapids Enterprise,

to participate in the transport of grains for disaster relief.

Informing Royal Father, Prince Jun previously was a shareholder in the predecessor of Pure Rapids Enterprise.

The court forbids ministers and officials from engaging in business.

It's really inappropriate that Prince Jun has mentions Pure Rapids Enterprise several times.

This subject son already terminated completely my relationship with Pure Rapids Enterprise before I came to Chang'an.

Terminated completely?

The boss of Pure Rapids Enterprise is still going through prenatal care in your manor right now.

Disaster relief is the urgent problem to solve right now. May Prince Zhao please not get sidetracked.

This is the new rice from Lingnan. Please take a look, Royal Father.

This is the first batch of this season's new rice shipped here by Pure Rapids Enterprise.

It only took ten days from Lingnan to Chang'an.

Matters can be decided based on priorities and urgency. Right now, the starvation problem is getting more and more serious.

Royal Father, why not cooperate with Pure Rapids Enterprise to solve the urgent problem now?

This minister agrees with Prince Jun. Right now the disaster situation gets worse every day.

If we don't focus on solving the root of the problem, I'm concerned about civilian riots.

This subject thinks, only Prince Jun's proposal

can solve the problem of grain shortage in the short term.

Proposal approved. Requisition civilian support

to ship grains from the south to the north,

to be supervised by the Agriculture Bureau and Ministry of Revenue.

- By your command. - By your command.

- Greetings, Consort Dowager. - Greetings, Consort Dowager.

You may all rise.

Recently, His Majesty has lost a lot of weight

worrying about the famine disaster.

Even though we live in the palace,

as members of the royal family,

we should also think of ways to help.

Consort Dowager is kind.

I think we can leave a portion of our monthy stipend

to be used for the diaster relief.

Consort Dowager, I think Her Highness Imperial Concubine De's suggestion is excellent.

In addition, we can set up porridge stands along the streets.

This will not only ensure that the food will be safely sent into the people's hands,

it will also show how the royal family loves the people.

This is really good.

Then let's withdraw from our monthly stipend

using the "three out of ten" system to gather the money. (T/N deduct 30 percent)

What is the "three out of ten" system?

It's to take thirty percent of the stipend to buy food.

No one pays me any stipend, so I'll lose money then?

Who dares to privately question the Consort Dowager's kindness? Did you grow bold by eating a leopard's gall?

I was just asking, what is the "three out of ten" system?

Besides, for us to give this money, it actually won't solve much of the problem.

So lacking in compassion!

May the Consort Dowager please mete out punishment as a warning to everyone!

Enough, Imperial Concubine De.

She is pregnant.

Just punish her to copy a scroll of the scripture,

to be supervised by the Bureau of Palace Officials.

Yes, Consort Dowager.

Yes.

How much is left?

I've only copied less than half. I'm so sleepy.

It appears that only scripture copying can control you.

Are you helping me to write?

This is great, then I can go eat some night snacks!

You're not allowed to leave.

I'm writing for you, so I'm helping you.

Sit there and watch me.

Your nose is really good-looking.

The mouth is good-looking too.

So many eyelashes... what an eyelash fairy!

You are a little naughty to look at me this way.

The state of mind comes from the heart. You must be thinking about naughty things, right?

- Don't run! - I didn't mean it deliberately.

[ Pure Rapids Enterprise ]

Has Weng Dayou sent the complete map of water shipping routes?

Yes. Weng Dayou just dispatched someone to send over some copies.

They say you will understand upon seeing them, Chief. Here.

Step one, cross over Xiaozhou.

Take the second step, enter Kuiguan.

A running third step, around Qinchuan.

Smoothly take the fourth step to enter Chang'an.

This... what does it mean?

This is a secret code from Weng Dayou.

It means that, other than the official water route and civilian water route, the convenient waterways

include Yangtze River, Yellow River, Han River, Wei River.

These four major rivers have secret branches.

In that case, there are faster and more convenient water routes.

We have the manpower and channels now.

Next, the disaster victims are waiting for us to work hard.

- Go for it! - Go for it! - Go for it!

Reporting!

Ten thousand dan of grains for the disaster relief have just arrived at Chang'an's pier!(T/N 500 metric tons/551 US tons)

Reporting!

Ten thousand dan of grains for the disaster relief have just arrived at Chang'an's pier!

Informing Your Majesty, the first batch of the grains for disaster relief has arrived in Chang'an.

In addition, the second batch of two thousand dan

is also arriving in Chang'an!

Qingliu, you've done well on this matter.

Give me something to eat!

I want something to eat.

Don't crowd!

- Officials! Officials! - I want something to eat.

- Get back! - I want something to eat.

Quit talking uselessly!

Don't fight over it.

- That's mine. - It's mine.

- Give it to me. That's mine! - Stop panicking!

Pick them up.

Come here, come here!

They all say your Li Family isn't reliable.

The grains keep coming to shore, but why haven't they reached the people's mouths?

Chief Long went to the disaster relief station outside the city.

She discovered that a lot of Pure Rapids Enterprise's grains for disaster relief haven't been distributed to the people.

Have you looked into this?

Yes.

Granny, is that porridge enough to relieve your hunger?

I am content. At least I wont die of starvation.

Didn''t they say a lot of the grains for disaster relief have arrived?

They did arrive.

I heard that the manager of the Pure Rapids Enterprise personally presided over the transportation,

but what about the result? They are transporting the grain from the south to the north!

The big ships carrying grain are leaving Nancheng one after another!

You... and you... and you,

have you even had a bite of food?

Chief!

After the disaster relief food arrived, it was transferred to the official warehouse by the carriages of the Ministry of Revenue.

But at night, it was transferred to the military grain depot intact.

I was wondering why is there no progress in the food distribution even after we rushed the food in here!

It turns out it has been taken in by the army!

This matter should not be underestimated.

I will present a memorial to the throne at tomorrow's court session.

Reporting to Imperial Father, at present, two batches of grain transported by water have arrived in Chang'an.

But as far as this subject son knows, there is not much food

flowing into the official warehouse to relieve the people in stricken areas.

Attendant Pang, you manage the offloading and transport in the Ministry of Revenue. What do you know about this matter?

Reporting to Your Majesty,

the amount of grain transported by water this time was too small.

There was only little left after the usual use.

But this subject son has heard that most of the grain was used as military rations.

Reporting to Your Majesty,

at present, the war in the north is still undecided. The military supplies are tight.

There is indeed a lot of grain transported by water used for officers and military supplies.

Many are glaring fiercely and covetously at our Great Tang. This subject is only giving thought to our Great Tang.

I ask Your Majesty to listen to this explanation. Although the folk river channel

is rather smooth,

its transport capacity is really small.

Everyone, move more quickly!

Make sure that every lantern is hung with a red tassel.

There will be a distinguished guest coming later. We definitely cannot lose our face.

Congratulations, Miss Du.

- This is the congratulatory gift I prepared for you. - Sister is too polite.

Yue'er, take my sisters in to sit down.

This way, please.

You are getting married. With all due respect, instead of decking out the courtyard here,

Miss Du should go to the Prince Jun Mansion

and take a walk around Prince Jun Mansion.

Younger Sister Xu does not know

that there is another person hidden in the Prince Jun Mansion.

Younger Sister, I say you are just too kind.

You are the legal wife now.

If you don't set the rules now, in the future

those orioles and swallows at Prince Jun's side (T/N young girls that chatter a lot)

will not likely return to their place in the sky.

That woman comes from Yincheng. I also know her.

She is now pregnant with an offspring.

Even if I am wronged again, I cannot make a joke of family succession.

This is Chang'an, the national capital.

How can there be a room for something that offends public decency?

Sisters, what can we do

to give that little Ruren a piece of our mind and make her obedient?

It is not proper. If it becomes a big matter, it may affect Qingliu.

Don't worry, Sister. We are all experienced.

Since she dares to bully my sister,

I am going to give her a hard time!

It is almost the Double Third Festival. Look at the flowers in the harem. (T/N third day of third lunar month)

They are all fully open!

It turns out to be true. I heard that His Majesty has turned her plate for three days in succession.

Did you see her forehead?

It is said that this imprint was a special formula created by this Ruren Long for her.

Now she is more beautiful than all the others!

No wonder she is being favored by His Majesty!

I am not afraid of these gossips anymore.

It is all thanks to Younger Sister's secret recipe.

Zhao Rong was born as a flawless beauty. My special formulas are only convoying and guarding it better. (T/N she means "conveying and sustaining it")

"Convoying and guarding"?

- Long Aoyi's formula? - Yes.

Greetings, Zhao Rong.

Ruren I heard that you are now Prince Jun Mansion's favorite.

We sisters wish to make friends with you.

What is this?

This is fan made of thin silk that I specially handpicked and brought back from Jiangnan.

Ruren, I hope you will accept the fan as a token of my goodwill.

I will accept it reluctantly then, since it is a token of your goodwill.

I've been wondering, is this fan worth a lot of money?

Looking at the materials used and the craftsmanship involved,

I'd say the ones of the highest quality are worth a thousand jin of gold. (T/N 600 kg/1322 US lbs)

My goodness! A thousand jin of gold for just one fan?

Take a look at it for me.

I think you need to wear more clothes since it's still the (T/N Late March - Mid-April Western)

Elder Sister, just wait and see. Something exciting's about to happen.

I'm allergic to pollen.

How fascinating. There are actually some people who are allergic to pollen,

and there are others who are allergic to women.

There are people who are allergic to women?

That idiot Li Qingliu is actually allergic to women...

- Is it true? - It's true.

This scent is very familiar.

It smells like the pollen rouge Master used to peddle.

It really is datura! (T/N Datura stramonium, a toxic and hallucinogenic plant that may induce delirium)

You can stop now.

Every year, the Double Third Festival always ends up being celebrated like this.

Isn't there anything new for us to see?

Reporting to the Consort Dowager. This year's entertainment to pray for blessings to pacify the remote lands

should be ready soon. Please wait a little while longer.

Is that so?

Reporting to the Consort Dowager. Perhaps I could perform "Serenade of Peaceful Joy in Spring"

to liven things up for everyone while waiting for the next act.

There's no need for that, there's no need. I've been listening to the same old tunes

for the past few days

until my ears started growing calluses!

Yes.

Reporting to the Consort Dowager.

Isn't this the little Ruren

who gives even the General Palace Service a headache?

Consort Dowager, I know of a method that can cure your boredom while waiting.

What is it?

If you all don't mind, I'd be willing to dance the "Tented-Skirt Dance" for you. It is a folk dance.

But this dance requires the cooperation of other people.

Didn't someone else already perform a dance just now? The Consort Dowager wasn't interested.

This dance I'm introducing isn't the same thing. The style of this dance...

is from Jiaermu. The women there have more freedom and do as they please.

They take off their outer garments when they dance.

All those seated are esteemed daughters of the aristocracy.

They are not female entertainers from the Nine Gangs.

Your Highness, since we've already ventured outside for an outing,

then we should experience this spring landscape to the fullest extent!

All these esteemed aristocratic ladies here

are wearing their skirts and have their outer garments draped over their shoulders. They're all wearing layers upon layers of clothing.

It will be very inconvenient, since one has to move continuously.

How would one be able to admire the flowers, drink wine and enjoy the springtime fully and without restraint?

How can the Consort Dowager concede to your wild fantasies?

That actually sounds quite unique.

All right! Who would you like to dance with?

Just pick anyone you please. Anyone at all!

Thank you, Consort Dowager!

Come over here!

Get up! Hurry up! Go and dance with her.

- Dance, dance! - Get up! - Get up quickly.

The two of you should come over as well.

Turn round, turn round!

Move, quickly.

We have to catch up with them.

Enough, enough, enough.

All of you can stop now.

This dance wasn't too bad. All of you will be rewarded.

Especially you, little Ruren.

Your reward will be increased!

Thank you, Consort Dowager!

Announcing the arrival of the entertainer from Tianzhu! (T/N India)

Long Aoyi, just you wait!

There's a snake. Snake!

There's nothing to panic about.

It's just a snake.

There's no need to be in such a panic.

This snake can dance.

Don't just look at it dance, it is poisonous.

Long Aoyi, you can die along with your belly!

So the datura is used to lure the poisonous snake.

Qingliu.

Are you all right?

Luckily you came in time.

This visitor from India, that snake was just fine,

but why did it suddenly become crazy?

This snake has never caused any problems.

Perhaps... perhaps it's because it's the spring,

its temper is unstable.

In this garden are all concubines and noble women. With this oversight,

all the people who prepared the miscellanous shows cannot escape from blame.

This...

Every one of them gets twenty strokes with the thin rod!

Everyone leave then to receive the punishment.

Yes.

Consort Dowager, what about our program to tour the garden?

Forget about it.

I came to take you home. Is your body all right?

Now you remember me?

Are you being mischievous?

Men like you like the tender and coquettish women the most.

Don't you realize that the prettiest snakes are also the most poisonous?

Beware that you don't die of poisoning!

This is a medicinal soup brewed with red ginseng from Xinlong.

It is most effective in calming the nerves.

Thank you, Your Highness, for your care.

I thought you were smart.

Why did you let Yan'er do such a clearly reckless act this time?

I wouldn't dare. Why would I set up Sister Yan'er for such an injustice?

Forget it. I'm not blaming you.

She can never get over being upset.

Please judge wisely, Imperial Concubine. Sister Yan'er is overly kind.

She saw that Prince Jun and I are about to marry,

while Long Aoyi is still occupying the manor that doesn't belong to her

and acts like she were the lady of Prince Jun's manor.

She couldn't stand it, and decided to help me stand up to her.

Stand up to her?

That's just a lowly woman, but you are going to be the lady of the house.

Please advise me, Imperial Concubine.

Right now your body is hurt after suffering a scare.

Why not use this opportunity to exaggerate it?

- This... - It's time to let people know

who is the future lady of Prince Jun's manor.

[ Pure Rapids Enterprise ]

I'm so upset!

Miss, you're back.

Have you discovered it?

Here.

This is the color of the new rice?

Chief, you asked us to investigate Chang'an's grain market. It really was all sold out.

However, we still pried it out. Someone is selling the rice in the black market.

And the price is twenty times what it was before the disaster!

This price can cost people's lives! Who is selling?

We haven't found out who the sellers are yet.

However, these people were quick. They saw that we're strangers, and immediately turned around and left.

I only had time to grab this handful!

It's an old hand.

Go back to Prince Jun's manor.

We're leaving.

Give me a bun to eat!

Slow down. Everyone will get his share.

Miss, let me do it.

I'm fine.

Here.

Everyone, don't rush.

I guarantee everyone will get some food. No one will be emptyhanded.

It's from Prince Jun's manor. Such a lovely beauty like she's a celestial fairy!

Prince Jun is giving aid to relieve everyone's burden.

- In the coming days, there will continue to be buns to be distributed to everyone. - This is so nice. Thanks to Prince Jun.

Qingliu, you're back.

This is...

I prepared some buns to distribute to the disaster victims in the city.

Xian'er, you haven't recovered, so there's no need to do this.

I don't feel it's hard work to be able to share your burden.

I prepared some sugared water to alleviate the heat.

Come inside together with me. I still have something to tell you.

Let's go then.

Let's all go inside to drink the sugared water.

It's been a while since we first met.

I hope that you can let your bias go in the future

so that we can stay in the manor together, and live a peaceful life.

Fine.

It looks like after going through the trouble at the Shangsi Festival,

Miss Du has thoroughly changed.

Oh yes,

I forgot to thank Pan Yan'er. That fan from her is really nice.

Someone told me to send you off to another manor.

But I didn't do that, because I remembered our friendship in the past.

I won't fault you for things that happened in the past with Prince Jun.

I also hope you, Ruren, will also cherish this friendly relationship between us.

What do you want to say?

Look at you, direct and unruly.

Unlike me. Ever since I entered the silk store,

I did everything by considering for his sake.

You two were bound by profit.

I will have to ask you then. Who is it that, after entering the silk store,

either traded in business, or learned about design,

and even stole the new design drawings from New Silk Road?

Whose relationship is based on profit? Isn't this quite clear?

What is it with you today?

Are you saying that I'm greedy for profit, and climbed high?

Then I should have gotten closer to Prince Zhao when I was in Yincheng!

I remember that you were indeed quite close to His Royal Highness Prince Zhao.

So what if I was?

You sang together, drank wine together, and even climbed up the roof together.

I will say it for you. He also gave me flowers, jewelry, and clothes.

So you still have Prince Zhao in your heart?

So what if I did?

- Prince Zhao and I are... - Enough!

You.

I...

Someone is selling this in the black market in Chang'an at twenty times the price.

Really?

What is this about?

You go ahead and drink the sugared water. I'm leaving.

Aoyi.

Are you alright?

Today, using the occasion of my daughter's upcoming marriage, I'm hosting this planning banquet

to invite all of you.

The first thing is to help me devise a plan.

I'm not making empty promises.

I will offer everyone to try the "Daughter Red" wine that I've treasured for ten-some years.

Come, come, come.

My daughter has been away from Chang'an since she was young, but she is well-mannered and learned.

Even though we came from military background, other than expanding the territory for the dynasty,

there is no other achievement in life.

Therefore, my daughter has become the person who I most cherish and can't let go.

In front of everyone here today,

I'm giving all of my assets to Xian'er.

Let the royal family see that

Prince Jun doesn't lose anything by marrying my daughter, right?

[ House and Land Title Deeds ]

- Father. - Xian'er, I promised you this.

When you're in Chang'an, I won't let you live a humble life.

Come, everyone.

The disaster relief's grain money was handled well this time.

It's all thanks to everyone's sincere cooperation.

Come, let me toast everyone another cup!

Lord Du worked the hardest.

Xian'er, you should leave now.

Come, come, everyone, let's drink another cup.

Servants, bring up the desserts.

Yes.

Serve the desserts!

This...

Reporting to Royal Father, I heard that the black market has recently

been selling a great quantity of new rice at twenty times the usual price.

There is a shortage of grains in the entire city, with homeless and starving people everywhere.

Someone has extra grain, but isn't sending it to the national granary. We must uncover them!

Is this true?

Informing Your Majesty, I was just about to report on this matter.

There have always been criminals who make money from national disasters throughout the generations of dynasties.

This time, to assist the Ministry of Revenue in stabilizing the disastrous situation, the Ministry of War

has caught those profiteering merchants who have been hoarding in the southern part of the city.

They have already confessed to their crimes.

Since Deputy Minister Du has already handled and punished the profiteering merchants,

then this matter can be held back and not publicized.

Although the water shipping is useful, but it cannot solve the starvation in Chang'an.

What do you think, my counselors?

This subject thinks that in order to solve the starvation disaster

as well as the shortage of the military provisions on the frontline,

the official shipping line must speed up.

For example, the bodies of water from the Three Gorges are natural bastions.

These are matters of the state. At most, we'll just have to protect the nation and garrison the border.

How do we have so many troops now?

Your Majesty, perhaps we should shut the city gates and forbid the disaster victims from coming in?

Royal Father, that would not be good.

If we shut the gates to avoid the disaster, the unrest among the people will increase.

Your Majesty, I have an idea to propose.

Minister Yuan, please speak.

I think ever since the An Lushan Rebellion, our transportation capability has become a more and more serious problem.

It's reached an unmanageable state at this point.

Why don't we use this situation as an opportunity

to mobilize people from everyone to solve the problem together?

Let's proceed with Minister Yuan's idea.

Transmit my edict. I order you to think of ideas within three days.

Whoever comes up with an accepted idea will be highly rewarded.

- By your command. - By your command.

The court is dismissed!

[ Prince Jun Manor ]

Lord Liu, Deputy Minister of Minister of Works, has arrived.

This lowly official respectfully greets Prince Jun.

Lord Liu, please sit.

Thank you.

I asked you to come because I'd like to discuss something with you.

Please speak, Prince Jun.

I heard that you used to be the official in charge of central transportation. I'd like to know

the true condition of the official water shipping route.

Great Tang has been prosperous for a long time. The transportation resources are abundant.

But the official water-shipping route hasn't be used for many years.

Some are dilapidated, some are blocked, there isn't much left

of those that still can be used.

Can't be used?

My study servant is naughty, please don't mind him.

It's all right.

Prince Jun, you asked to meet me today, you must be thinking about the assignment by His Majesty.

Yes, that's right. I wanted to understand more about our official shipping transportation.

The water-shipping route was developed by the previous dynasty.

We actually haven't used it much in this dynasty.

That's why we're using the civilians' water channel.

Where can we get the map of the official shipping route then?

In the previous dynasty, many people in the Wei Family were appointed transportation officials.

They established water routes, and opened trade.

In the current dynasty,

I'm embarrassed to say that there is no one in charge.

Prince Jun, why don't you let that one in your manor to hand over the secret water-shipping channels.

This way, even if there isn't a good solution,

His Majsty would at least feel happy.

So you want to pick the peaches from the civilian water transportation?

This young one is speaking nonsense.

Even though there isn't enough national strength to redevelop water transportation,

shipping by water transportation must be in the area waiting to be rebuilt by Great Tang.

Why is there a difference between official and civilian?

You are here to give advice,

but you want to take it away instead after drinking from me!

Such a study servant! Instead of serving water and tea, you are actually grabbing tea cups?

I will even rip his clothes!

Don't be naughty!

You'll scare Lord Liu. This is the one you spoke about.

So this is the Ruren in Prince Jun's manor.

I've been disrespectful.

I am indeed that woman. What else do you want to say?

I'd really appreciate it if you say it all at once.

You are indeed the same as described in the rumors!

Rumors? What did they say?

They say Your Highness pampers this woman greatly.

As I see it today, you are such a good-looking couple.

Chief, what is it?

Help me send a letter to the palace.

Give it to Official Wei, the older cousin of Lady Zhaorong Han.

All right!

[ Prince Jun Manor ]

Xian'er.

Xian'er, are you looking for me?

Qingliu.

Xian'er, we are not married yet. How can we overstep the rules?

Since His Majesty has bestowed me to you,

consider me the Princess Consort Jun who has already stepped out of my chamber.

Didn't you say you had something urgent to meet me about?

Come.

Hurry.

Miss, why are you meeting Official Wei so late at night?

He works in the palace. We can only meet at the entrance to the palace for a little while at this time.

Why can't you go during the day?

There's no time. Didn't they say there needs to be a result in three days?

You're not asked to think of ideas. Why are you always helping Prince Jun?

I'm not helping him. I'm helping the disaster's victims in the entire city.

Let's go.

We don't even know if it's for a good reason. Don't look!

No rush.

Let's take a look. Isn't this a good show?

Let's go.

Continue then.

M-Miss!

Shameless!

Qingliu, where are you going?

I spent a long time selecting this fabric.

Do you think it's suitable?

How about we compare them again?

This is the detailed map of the official water route?

That's right. How does the Ruren know that I have this map?

I am friends with Zhaorong. I heard her mention that

generations of your family used to have the duty in the previous dynasty.

I've also heard that the official water route was developed by the Wei Family in the previous dynasty.

That's how I thought of you. What a coincidence.

All right, now I see.

This is really good to have. I'm very thankful!

Please accept this meager gift.

Alright, thank you.

His Majesty assigned a mission this time.

Did the Ruren do this for Prince Jun?

You two are a really affectionate couple.

What affectionate couple? Office Wei must be joking!

Oh yes.

Will Official Wei please loan me a male outfit?

♫ Seeing the mountain and river become strangers, ♫

♫ Seeing the storm clouds parting ♫

♫ Seeing luxuriant flowers inundate the path ♫

♫ Seeing unending yearning ♫

♫ Seeing vast seas of tears ♫

♫ Brushing away the dense fog, warm and alone ♫

♫ Spring winds caress my smiling face as before ♫

♫ Time has become a blur, taking leave of hardship ♫

♫ I accompany you most willingly after night falls ♫

♫ Seeing that it's not wild and overgrown, ♫

♫ Seeing spring rain fall as a mist from above, ♫

♫ Seeing the curtain fall on worldly affairs, ♫

♫ Seeing vast seas of tears ♫

♫ As we grow old and the vision comes to an end, ♫

♫ Awaiting you, to leave this life together. ♫
