Episode 4

But this letter means nothing to me.

It's not worth a person's life.

Brother.

But for me, Miss Chen Yu is worth more than any treasure.

Fine.

You may trade your hand...

for her life.

I have no other forte.

My only strong point...

is that I know a little bit about the art of steeping.

I heard that you love tea.

At first, I thought that if I can show my skills in front of you,

I would live a life with no regrets.

But from the looks of it now,

I would not have that chance anymore.

Can you lend me your sword?

-Leng Yan. -Yes, Your Highness.

My sword.

Brother, wait for me.

Madam Qin.

Since Miss Chen Yu has offended Prince Li,

she'll only bring troubles for you if she stays here.

I'm very close with Prince Li.

I can buy her from you.

But now, she has no value anymore.

Chen Yu was once the famous steal of the show here.

How much do you want?

-500 tael. -100 tael.

I had taken care of her for so many years.

-100 tael is not enough. -50 tael.

100 tael and no less. She's considered sold to you.

What a wench you are.

How dare you ruin my business.

Go now.

Thank you, mister.

" Moon Embrace Teahouse "

Mistress.

Thank you for your kindness.

This is Long Yue.

Long Yue, she is the new instrumentalist that I hired,

Chen Yu.

From now on, you can stay in the Moon Embrace Teahouse.

You had taken good care of me.

If you want to ask me anything,

I'll gladly answer your question without pause.

Quick, get up now.

Your father is the former subordinate of Chief Minister Qin.

I think you know a thing or two about Qin family.

I wonder if you have heard about The Book of Mountains and Rivers.

Yes.

My father was once the co-writer of this book.

Where is this book now?

I was only seven when they confiscated the house.

My father hit me unconscious and asked somebody to bring me away.

When I woke up,

everything had changed.

I'm sorry.

I've reminded you of your depressing past.

This is my fate. It's not your fault.

From then on, I was stripped to nothing...

and led a vagabond life.

And after that, I never heard anything about Qin family.

Miss, for the things that you ask me today,

I'll not tell anybody about it...

and I'll bring this secret to my grave.

-Long Yue. -Bring her to her room to rest.

-Yes, Mistress. -Thank you, Miss.

This way please.

It is indeed the work of the crown prince and his gang.

Brother, if we continue to investigate along this evidence,

we can bring him down for sure.

We can't let Sir Zhao die for nothing.

By the way, the mistress of Moon Embrace Teahouse...

is indeed courageous.

If we can really reveal the truth of this case,

she would have done the country a good deed.

She is not as simple as you think she is.

She didn't lie but she was not telling the truth either.

I think she already...

discovered this letter since a long time ago.

As for the matter regarding Chen Yu,

I think that mistress is the only one...

who dares to complicate things for me.

Who is it?

Open the door!

Somebody help! Anybody there?

Open the door! Somebody, help!

Somebody, help!

Fire! Somebody, help! There's fire!

-Somebody, help! -Water, quick!

What is happening?

-Water! -Quick!

-Stop, what happened? -Captain. The kitchen is on fire.

Madam Qiu Yi gathering every servant to go and put out the fire.

-Princess. -Where is Lian Xin?

-Fire! -Please stay calm.

I'll check on Lian Xin.

The kitchen is quite far from here. Please wait inside the room.

Don't go near to the fire.

Don't be afraid.

-I'm here. -Get the water!

This way!

-Quick! -Coming!

Get the water!

-Sir. -The guards are doing patrol when...

we spot the flames here.

We are ordered to protect the princess and the safety of this city.

-We can help with the fire. -You came on the right time.

We don't have enough people here.

Thank you for your willingness to help.

-Help me! Any water left? -Yes!

Quick! Pass it over!

Here you go!

Here!

-Assassin! -Go and put off the kitchen fire.

-The rest, follow me to kill him. -Roger that!

They only said to let Sir Yu in to the manor.

Why will there be an assassin?

If they look into it,

they will charge me with capital offence.

The water is here!

-Get more water here! Quick! -Get more water!

Get me another bowl of water!

Lian Xin!

Lian Xin.

Get the water here! Quick!

Get more water here! Quick!

Where are you going to run to?

-Sir! -Go.

-Are you alright, Sir? -Are you alright, Sir?

Princess, be careful!

-Push! -Sir!

-Sir, are you alright? -Sir!

-Sir! -Are you alright, Sir?

-Sir! -Sir, are you alright?

Princess.

No, Princess.

Don't do it, Princess. This is inappropriate.

-Sir! -Sir, are you alright?

-Sir! -Sir!

-Are you alright? -Sir, are you alright?

-Sir! -Sir, say something!

Sir!

Sir!

Ling Yue!

Ling Yue!

Ling Yue!

Ling Yue!

-Princess. -Are you alright?

-Sir! -Don't be afraid.

-Go and hide first. Don't be afraid. -Sir!

-Sir! -Go now.

-Quick. -Are you alright, Sir?

-Say something! Are you alright? -Sir!

Help!

Help!

-Princess. -How dare this scoundrel...

takes advantage of me!

Arrest him!

Quick!

-Step aside! Princess. -I was sleeping just now.

Then I saw someone walking up to me and tried to take advantage of me.

I was so scared. So, I hit him with a vase and ran outside.

Scoundrel.

Scoundrel!

Today, I am going to teach this low-life a lesson.

If any of you dare to stop me,

don't blame me for being heartless towards you.

Our dereliction of duty has caused such disgrace to you, my princess.

Please punish us.

Stop, Xiao Sha.

I'm having a headache.

Princess.

Princess, are you alright?

Are you alright, Princess?

Your Majesty, the pulse condition of the princess is chaotic.

I think she was too frightened...

until it caused her a headache.

She need to rest well.

I'll treat her again after a few days.

Alright, you may leave.

I'll take my leave then.

Scoundrel.

How dare you do something so obscene.

You are a disgrace to our country.

Why do I need to keep you?

My sins are punishable by death.

But it was an emergency.

I went into the princess's room in order to pursue the assassin.

All the servants in the Princess Manor can attest to that.

I went into the princess's room...

and fell onto her bed after I was wounded by the assassin.

I thought that the princess fancied me.

That's why I acted inappropriately.

But all in all, I just want to protect the princess.

I fancy the princess.

I'm willing to atone for my misbehaviour.

Such nonsense!

You said that you were there to arrest the assassin.

Where is the assassin?

The people that you brought along can attest that...

when I opened the door, you were the only one inside.

We didn't see any assassin.

I'm innocent.

I really went into the princess's room in pursuit of the assassin.

After that, I lost to the enemy...

and he managed to escape.

General Yu.

You made up the story...

about that assassin.

The assassin is fake.

The truth is, you wanted to take advantage of the princess.

Your Majesty.

Ever since the princess comes here,

first, she was barred from coming in.

Then, she was rejected in a full court.

Now,

General Yu is creating a story about assassin...

in order to destroy my princess's innocence.

So much humiliation.

Looks like the Northern Realm...

is treating Western Qi as a nobody.

May I ask, where is the etiquette of Northern Realm?

Where is the sincerity...

to from this alliance?

Your Majesty.

I didn't teach my son well...

until he did this kind of thing that will bring harm to the country.

After I heard the news yesterday, I searched the whole city immediately.

And I managed to arrest the assassin.

You can interrogate him.

Bring him in.

Your Majesty. He has already confessed his crime.

He is the spy planted in our country by Chen.

He wanted to assassinate the princess in order to...

destroy the alliance between us and Western Qi.

I already asked...

those guards that went along with my son yesterday night.

They said that this man...

looks like the assassin who barged into the Princess Manor yesterday.

Take him away and off with his head.

This time, it's my subject who had done you wrong.

As for how to deal with him,

it'll be up to you, Princess.

Your Majesty.

I think that no matter it's a misunderstanding or not,

I hope that we can resolve this quietly.

I'm an unmarried woman.

And I came to Northern Realm for this alliance marriage.

First, I don't wish to make a big fuss about this matter...

because it'll ruin my reputation.

Secondly,

if my brother hears about this news,

he'll be distressed and anxious.

And it will affect the relationship between two countries.

The princess is indeed very virtuous.

Thank you, Princess.

Princess, do you have any other requests?

Princess.

Your Majesty. I have a severe headache.

I just want to rest.

Your Majesty, I think that...

the assassin can barged into Princess Manor while there's no one...

because the guards don't really understand her living habit.

That's why there was an oversight.

Please return the guards of Western Qi back to the Princess Manor.

I don't trust anybody else besides them.

Alright, I'll grant your wish.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Yu Wen Jie.

Although it's with reason, it's still true that...

you had offended the Princess.

No capital punishment, but you'll be punished nevertheless.

Fifty beatings...

and two ranks down.

-Bring him away. -Yes, Your Majesty!

I'm innocent!

Father!

I'm innocent!

Your Majesty, I don't feel well.

I'll take my leave first.

Please go back and rest.

Princess, all the guards from Northern Realm have been changed.

Now, we are surrounded only by our guards and Madam Qiu Yi is here.

Princess.

Princess. If you still need my service after this,

please don't forget to come to me.

Madam. The way you said it, those who know will think that you are diligent.

Those who don't will think that our princess...

chased you away because she's petty.

Move along then.

Move along.

I'll take my leave.

-Xiao Sha. -Yes, Princess.

Princess, Minister Yu has found a scapegoat.

And we can't revolt against Northern Realm.

Although the real assassin is in our hands, we can't expose them.

From now on, we have to be more careful.

Yes, Princess.

Ling Yue and Lian Xin must have been in a shock too.

Lian Xin. Treat your wound with care.

Now, the manor is surrounded by our people.

Both of you can be more relaxed.

By the way, where is the assassin that was knocked unconscious?

That day, after I changed...

and came out from the room, I saw that the hiding spot for the assassin...

was not very secure. I was afraid that he'll cause troubles if he wakes.

That's why me and Lian Xin tied up his hands and legs...

and threw him into the firewood storeroom.

After that, we rushed to your side...

and we don't know what happened next.

That's right.

I already took care of him.

Are you alright?

I'm alright. The princess came right on time yesterday.

I had failed my duty...

and gave those low-lives an opportunity to cause harm.

Don't worry. I'll not let that person of the hook so easily.

Actually, you don't need to feel unfair towards me.

This kind of grievance is nothing.

Our main concern is princess. We can't let the princess be affected.

This is for you.

I had already washed it.

I'll return it to you.

Your Majesty, Prince Fan Yang is here.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Xuan Ming.

Be at ease. Sit down.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Xuan Ming.

What do you think about the assassination that happened...

in the Princess Manor last time?

You already have your conclusion.

Why did you ask me?

This matter...

is clearly the work of the crown prince and Yu Shi Hai.

But in order to preserve the dignity of Northern Realm,

I have to cover it up.

The crown prince has disappointed me for so many times.

I'm really worried to entrust him with...

the whole nation.

I know that your preferred choice for crown prince is Wu You.

But...

the misunderstanding between you and Wu You...

Today,

it's Yun's death anniversary.

She had reminded me over and over...

before her passing.

How can I not keep my word?

Yun.

Yun.

Your Majesty.

I don't have much time left.

Promise me.

Wu You is a very sentimental person.

He has no interest in power.

If you force him,

you'll only push him into...

the abyss of endless sufferings.

Yun.

I...

If you really care about Wu You,

when he grows up,

give him a rank where he can live freely.

Let him live a carefree life.

Promise me.

Promise me.

Useless thing.

-Pardon me, Your Majesty. -Get lost!

Quick.

Useless thing. You are not sensible at all.

How can you make mistake today? Leave now.

Escort me.

Escort me to Yun's Tomb.

Your Majesty.

Brother.

" Yun's Tomb "

Lady Yun.

I'm here to pay you respect.

I hope that you can rest in peace.

Father.

Why are you here?

When Lady Yun was still alive, I remember...

her care towards me.

For me, Lady Yun is just like my real mother.

Today is her death anniversary.

Of course I need to come and pay her respect.

At least you still remember her care towards you.

Lady Yun.

I remember your kindness towards me.

Don't worry. In this life,

I'll take good care of Wu You...

just like how you had taken care of me.

" Yun's Tomb "

Mother.

I'm here to see you.

You are humble, modest...

and always compromise for the sake of others.

In the end,

remorse and regrets are the only things you get.

I promise you.

I won't be like that.

I'll live freely for my whole life.

I won't give anybody a chance to let me down.

Mother.

Yun.

I'm here to see you.

My mother doesn't want to see you.

You are the cause of her death.

Please leave.

Fu Yuan had spiked my drinks.

And that's why...

I hurt Yun.

You brought Fu Yuan here, have you forgotten?

In order to gain power,

in order to secure your position,

you betrayed your promise to my mother.

You married with other. You have an imperial harem.

You are the one who broke her heart and ended her life.

I have no other choice.

Everything I did is for our country.

I did it for the greater cause for Zong Zheng family.

Your Majesty.

You are too greedy.

You just sized up the situation and took everything beneficial to you.

You clearly know that in this life, you can't be loyal to one woman only.

But in order to gain my mother's heart,

you made a false promise.

You tricked her.

Your mother is the only one I love.

Why can't you be understanding of me?

Why should I be understanding towards you?

Because of your lies and your betrayal,

my mother had suffered her whole life in depression.

Wu You.

Your mother's death...

hurt me more than it hurt you.

She has left us for 16 years.

-Are you going to blame me forever? -Yes.

I won't forgive you.

You'll disturb my mother...

if you stay here.

Please leave.

According to a secret message from Kite,

the fire in Princess Manor...

was indeed planned by the father-son duo of Yu family.

Anything else?

Qiu Yi, the housekeeper from Princess Manor...

went missing after that day.

But not long ago, we found her dead inside a manor in a village.

I think she had accepted the bribe from Yu family.

But after the plan failed, she was silenced with death.

This father-son duo from Yu family is indeed cruel and merciless.

Yu family has stayed in Northern Realm for three generations.

Their power is deeply rooted here.

And they help the crown prince with his personal gain.

In the future, you have to guard against them.

But, when I investigate about the father-son duo of Yu family,

I found a clue about The Book of Mountains and Rivers.

Yu family is related to The Book of Mountains and Rivers as well?

Yu family's fort doesn't belong to them originally.

That mansion used to be the house of Qin Yong.

After Qin Yong and his family were killed,

it was given to the new minister of the Ministry of Personnel,

Yu Shi Hai.

Qin Yong?

So, did you find anything in Yu family's fort?

Yu Shi Hai is a very petty and cautious man.

He renovated the whole mansion after he got it.

And he turned the mansion into a well-guarded fort.

Now, Yu family is very well-known.

That is because...

many people have forgotten that it was once the house of Qin Yong.

Report this news to my brother immediately.

One more thing. Please pass this letter to him.

Yes, Princess.

Miss Long Yue. Prince Li is here.

-He is alone? -Yes.

Today is his mother, Yun's death anniversary.

Why will he come here?

Greetings, Your Highness.

I didn't get a good look before.

But the scenery here is amazing.

This is indeed the best teahouse in Zhongshan.

Thank you for the compliment.

But Moon Embrace Teahouse is not famous for it's scenery...

but for it's tea.

I had tasted the tea from Moon Embrace Teahouse for quite a few times.

I don't think that it's any special.

I think the way to enjoy tea is not about the tea itself...

but the state of mind one has when one drinks tea.

How about you taste it again today?

Alright.

Taste it, Your Highness.

You said that tea tasting is about the state of mind.

What do you think about...

my state of mind right now?

Looks like you are troubled by something.

Looks like you know how to read a person too.

Your Highness.

You can't change the past but you can build the future.

How about you relax your mind...

and taste the tea in earnest?

You are really different from other girls that I had met.

You are smart and you talk very well.

Just that sometime, you are too reckless.

You are indeed not as simple as you seemed.

Just because we have no guidance,

it doesn't mean that we are uncultured.

You are not a simple man too.

Are you complimenting me...

or are you complimenting yourself?

You know how to play chess, right?

When we first started, you seemed unsure.

But after a few rounds,

you can obviously win the game...

but every time, you let me win instead.

And every time, you just play it half-heartedly.

It's been a long time since I last played so I'm quite rusty.

You are not in a good mood today.

So, I thought you want to relax by drinking tea.

Chess is just a game.

I don't think I need to be too serious about it.

Man Yao?

Like the blooming flowers...

that are bright and colourful,

a lady is going to get married in a wondrous day.

Is that what your name means?

As for your name,

I think you parents...

hope that you can live a carefree life.

To be exact, it is to have nothing.

It means I'll have nothing.

I'll live an empty life, I'll have nothing...

and nothing will stay.

Since you are here, show yourselves.

I think of you when the moon is full,

when it's a crescent and when it's white.

You who came to a strange land to build our lands together.

I think of you when night has fallen...

and when the fog has parted.

My yearning for you has turned you...

into my reason.

You are my happiness, my worries and...

my abyss.

I can't touch you for you are like...

the reflection in water.

I don't want distance but I stayed away from you.

I want to do it but I can't.

I just want to watch you...

in this cold world.

I'm envious of your shadow that follows you.

Do you want to have a drink with me?

The useless tears that we are born with...

are for us to waste it.

Rather than having no worries...

and having a dull life,

I rather pursue you.

Even though the flower might wilt and I might fail...

Brother.

You can touch woman now?

-Search the place! -Yes.

Brother.

Brother, why can you touch woman now?

Brother, why did you break your taboo? What happened?

Mistress, are you alright?

Long Yue. This place has become a target.

We have to leave immediately.

Don't worry. I'll stay and tie up the ends.
