18
00:01:50,832 --> 00:01:53,112
- Your Highness.
- How do you feel?

19
00:01:53,433 --> 00:01:54,313
Much better.

20
00:01:55,953 --> 00:01:56,992
Thank you, Your Highness.

21
00:01:58,992 --> 00:02:00,313
I was just asking.

22
00:02:00,832 --> 00:02:02,433
I'm talking about the monkeys.

23
00:02:03,033 --> 00:02:04,352
Qingyu told me everything.

24
00:02:06,073 --> 00:02:07,153
Let me apply the medicine.

25
00:02:09,553 --> 00:02:10,593
I'll make some tea.

26
00:02:17,912 --> 00:02:19,512
These are old scars.

27
00:02:19,873 --> 00:02:21,632
Medicine won't help much now.

28
00:02:24,433 --> 00:02:26,393
This is Jade Ointment
from the Western Regions.

29
00:02:27,472 --> 00:02:29,672
It contains angelica, chuanxiong root,

30
00:02:30,192 --> 00:02:31,912
peach kernel, safflower,

31
00:02:32,952 --> 00:02:34,153
and pearl powder.

32
00:02:34,672 --> 00:02:36,113
It can reduce scars and soothe skin.

33
00:02:37,672 --> 00:02:38,472
Reduce scars?

34
00:02:42,393 --> 00:02:44,072
Do you find them unsightly?

35
00:02:44,072 --> 00:02:44,752
No.

36
00:02:48,072 --> 00:02:48,873
No.

37
00:02:50,713 --> 00:02:51,952
So, shall we apply it?

38
00:03:12,393 --> 00:03:13,593
Any cooling sensation?

39
00:03:16,593 --> 00:03:20,033
It does feel smooth and cool.

40
00:03:22,352 --> 00:03:23,632
That means it's working.

41
00:03:24,873 --> 00:03:25,912
Apply twice daily.

42
00:03:26,313 --> 00:03:27,313
Within half a month,

43
00:03:27,993 --> 00:03:31,232
these scars will vanish.

44
00:03:32,232 --> 00:03:33,553
It's so effective?

45
00:03:35,512 --> 00:03:37,952
Then, can I have another jar of it?

46
00:03:39,433 --> 00:03:40,752
What for?

47
00:03:41,512 --> 00:03:43,313
You might not even finish one.

48
00:03:43,713 --> 00:03:45,433
I'd like to give one to Qingshuang.

49
00:03:45,873 --> 00:03:48,512
She was also
bitten by monkeys on her arms.

50
00:03:49,632 --> 00:03:50,433
Qingshuang?

51
00:03:52,192 --> 00:03:55,512
Qingyu and Qingshuang grew up with me.

52
00:03:55,993 --> 00:03:58,553
I can't keep this ointment to myself.

53
00:04:00,873 --> 00:04:01,672
Alright.

54
00:04:03,072 --> 00:04:04,593
I'll ask Jin to bring it.

55
00:04:05,873 --> 00:04:06,912
Please don't forget.

56
00:04:10,792 --> 00:04:12,512
Your Highness, the tea is ready.

57
00:04:12,912 --> 00:04:13,713
We are leaving.

58
00:04:18,273 --> 00:04:21,713
Does the Princess Consort
have a maid named Qingshuang?

59
00:04:22,833 --> 00:04:24,633
The Princess Consort has many maids.

60
00:04:24,912 --> 00:04:26,912
Tao, Xing, and Qingyu.

61
00:04:27,672 --> 00:04:31,232
As for Qingshuang,
I can't recall right now.

62
00:04:31,513 --> 00:04:32,593
I'll ask around tomorrow.

63
00:04:38,872 --> 00:04:40,953
My Lady, Devotee Yunji
sent you an invitation

64
00:04:40,953 --> 00:04:42,992
to the Red Sleeve Banquet.

65
00:04:43,833 --> 00:04:44,672
I see.

66
00:04:48,073 --> 00:04:50,552
Devotee Yunji? A spiritual practitioner?

67
00:04:50,953 --> 00:04:52,352
She is the Dowager Consort.

68
00:04:52,912 --> 00:04:54,593
After the late emperor passed away,

69
00:04:54,753 --> 00:04:57,193
Dowager Consort Qin left the palace
and became a spiritual practitioner.

70
00:04:57,193 --> 00:05:00,232
She burns incense, chants sutras,
and prays for the people every day.

71
00:05:01,193 --> 00:05:04,153
Why would a spiritual practitioner
host a banquet?

72
00:05:05,112 --> 00:05:09,073
The Red Sleeve Banquet
honors Lady Lin Tinglan.

73
00:05:09,432 --> 00:05:12,193
The Empress Dowager adores Lady Lin.

74
00:05:13,153 --> 00:05:16,232
As a talented young lady,
instead of being confined indoors,

75
00:05:16,232 --> 00:05:17,352
she travels around

76
00:05:17,593 --> 00:05:19,033
and helps those in need.

77
00:05:19,352 --> 00:05:20,833
People praise her as a heroine.

78
00:05:23,513 --> 00:05:26,073
Come with me tomorrow.

79
00:05:27,432 --> 00:05:28,633
I'm going too?

80
00:05:28,872 --> 00:05:31,833
Dowager Consort Qin
is close to the Empress Dowager.

81
00:05:32,593 --> 00:05:35,593
She's been hosting events
under the pretext of spiritual practice

82
00:05:35,953 --> 00:05:37,593
to form alliances

83
00:05:37,633 --> 00:05:39,033
for the Empress Dowager.

84
00:05:40,552 --> 00:05:42,033
Our family has been in decline

85
00:05:42,432 --> 00:05:44,432
and has never
received an invitation from her,

86
00:05:45,073 --> 00:05:47,472
until you left Lishan Mountain
and married in.

87
00:05:47,792 --> 00:05:50,472
Who do you think she is inviting now?

88
00:06:02,912 --> 00:06:04,472
We haven't seen Lady Lin in ages.

89
00:06:04,472 --> 00:06:05,193
That's right.

90
00:06:05,432 --> 00:06:06,593
Why are we here?

91
00:06:07,273 --> 00:06:08,792
Didn't your third uncle tell you?

92
00:06:09,833 --> 00:06:13,073
Longevity Shop has close ties
to Dowager Consort Qin.

93
00:06:31,696 --> 00:06:34,992
(Lin Tinglan)

94
00:07:14,073 --> 00:07:15,792
What a perfect "Desolate Song".

95
00:07:16,073 --> 00:07:18,912
So deeply moving, it's heartbreaking.

96
00:07:19,393 --> 00:07:20,593
Truly exquisite.

97
00:07:20,992 --> 00:07:25,232
It makes me yearn
for my husband's warm embrace.

98
00:07:27,992 --> 00:07:31,112
You must be
Prince Ding's newlywed bride?

99
00:07:37,833 --> 00:07:40,312
I, Ye Li, pay my respects.

100
00:07:41,633 --> 00:07:42,912
Lady Li from the Ye family.

101
00:07:43,753 --> 00:07:45,073
Princess Li's sister.

102
00:07:45,672 --> 00:07:47,992
I heard she grew up on Lishan Mountain

103
00:07:48,273 --> 00:07:50,312
and returned only to get married.

104
00:07:50,792 --> 00:07:52,432
No wonder we haven't seen her.

105
00:07:53,393 --> 00:07:56,713
Lishan Mountain has been closed
for nearly eight years.

106
00:07:57,672 --> 00:07:58,912
How's the book coming?

107
00:07:59,953 --> 00:08:00,992
Before I left,

108
00:08:01,312 --> 00:08:04,753
Grandfather and tutors were annotating
the Treatise on Rivers and Waterways.

109
00:08:05,112 --> 00:08:07,273
It may take some more time.

110
00:08:07,912 --> 00:08:11,273
I didn't know
you were from Lishan Academy.

111
00:08:11,792 --> 00:08:15,472
Years ago, I read Headmaster Xu's
Hundred Writings,

112
00:08:15,953 --> 00:08:19,112
yet one sentence still puzzles me.

113
00:08:20,232 --> 00:08:22,672
Could you please enlighten me?

114
00:08:23,713 --> 00:08:24,513
My pleasure.

115
00:08:25,633 --> 00:08:27,073
The Hundred Writings states,

116
00:08:27,312 --> 00:08:28,593
"Let knowledge grow.

117
00:08:28,713 --> 00:08:29,753
Leave no one behind."

118
00:08:30,153 --> 00:08:31,953
It means that all people in the world,

119
00:08:31,953 --> 00:08:32,993
regardless of gender

120
00:08:32,993 --> 00:08:34,113
or status,

121
00:08:34,513 --> 00:08:35,873
shall have access to knowledge.

122
00:08:36,432 --> 00:08:38,952
Given this, I'm curious.

123
00:08:38,993 --> 00:08:40,993
Lishan Academy is a leading institution.

124
00:08:41,432 --> 00:08:44,153
Why does it refuse
to accept female disciples?

125
00:08:44,312 --> 00:08:46,072
Headmaster Xu
has written numerous books.

126
00:08:46,473 --> 00:08:49,552
Why does he act against
his own preached doctrines?

127
00:08:52,552 --> 00:08:54,233
Since you enjoy travelogues,

128
00:08:54,753 --> 00:08:57,473
you must have read Journey Among
All Things by Fuyao the Hermit.

129
00:08:57,672 --> 00:08:59,832
Yes. Remarkable work.

130
00:09:00,312 --> 00:09:04,033
Are you aware
that Fuyao the Hermit is a woman?

131
00:09:05,393 --> 00:09:08,832
Lishan Academy has never
denied women entry to its studies.

132
00:09:09,832 --> 00:09:11,353
The commoners often favor sons,

133
00:09:11,353 --> 00:09:12,952
funding education primarily for boys.

134
00:09:13,592 --> 00:09:16,753
Therefore, aspiring male scholars
vastly outnumber female ones.

135
00:09:16,952 --> 00:09:21,192
But Lishan Academy
has female disciples and tutoresses.

136
00:09:21,592 --> 00:09:23,192
Fuyao the Hermit is one of them.

137
00:09:23,432 --> 00:09:24,432
I see.

138
00:09:25,712 --> 00:09:27,393
How ill-informed I was.

139
00:09:35,113 --> 00:09:38,113
I nearly wronged Headmaster Xu.
For penance, I shall drink.

140
00:09:40,113 --> 00:09:42,072
Good.

141
00:09:42,633 --> 00:09:44,832
Misunderstandings ought to be aired out.

142
00:09:44,832 --> 00:09:49,233
Once aired,
grievances vanish like clouds.

143
00:09:49,712 --> 00:09:52,113
Lady Lin acknowledges her error
with an open mind.

144
00:09:52,273 --> 00:09:55,832
I propose we share this toast.

145
00:09:55,873 --> 00:09:57,832
Everyone, raise your cups.

146
00:09:58,072 --> 00:09:59,672
Master Ye speaks well.

147
00:10:00,113 --> 00:10:03,113
I also have a question
for Princess Ding.

148
00:10:05,072 --> 00:10:07,312
The Empress Dowager
admires Lishan Academy.

149
00:10:07,552 --> 00:10:09,353
But right after the late emperor
passed away,

150
00:10:09,753 --> 00:10:12,233
Lishan Academy closed down
to compile texts.

151
00:10:12,712 --> 00:10:18,353
They say you people feared
the Empress Dowager might claim the throne

152
00:10:18,952 --> 00:10:21,993
and found an excuse
to close down the academy.

153
00:10:22,552 --> 00:10:25,353
Is that true?

154
00:10:30,113 --> 00:10:31,993
His Majesty might be young,

155
00:10:32,432 --> 00:10:34,753
but he is steadfast and strategic.

156
00:10:35,513 --> 00:10:38,113
The Empress Dowager
offers her wise advice.

157
00:10:38,473 --> 00:10:40,513
They are of one heart and one mind,

158
00:10:40,792 --> 00:10:43,153
granting Dachu prosperity.

159
00:10:43,432 --> 00:10:46,393
Whoever slanders the Empress Dowager
as attempting to claim the throne

160
00:10:46,633 --> 00:10:49,513
intends to sow discord
between His Majesty

161
00:10:49,513 --> 00:10:50,633
and the Empress Dowager.

162
00:10:50,832 --> 00:10:53,153
Such villains
deserve the gravest punishment.

163
00:11:00,353 --> 00:11:01,832
You are truly eloquent.

164
00:11:08,952 --> 00:11:11,633
Shall we drink together?

165
00:11:12,753 --> 00:11:13,552
Let's drink.

166
00:11:14,353 --> 00:11:16,312
Everyone, raise your cups.

167
00:11:17,633 --> 00:11:18,592
Dig in. Try it.

168
00:11:18,592 --> 00:11:19,393
I'll try it.

169
00:11:20,072 --> 00:11:20,993
This way.

170
00:11:20,993 --> 00:11:21,633
Tasty, right?

171
00:11:22,233 --> 00:11:22,792
And this one.

172
00:11:26,233 --> 00:11:27,952
You're in the mood for food?

173
00:11:29,873 --> 00:11:31,432
Dowager Consort is obviously

174
00:11:31,432 --> 00:11:33,873
siding with the Empress Dowager
against Lishan Academy.

175
00:11:34,513 --> 00:11:36,552
Can't you see this is a trap?

176
00:11:36,552 --> 00:11:37,353
How dare you come?

177
00:11:38,192 --> 00:11:40,072
She invited me. So I came.

178
00:11:40,353 --> 00:11:43,792
Master Ye, this lotus lamp won't light.

179
00:11:43,993 --> 00:11:44,792
Is that so?

180
00:11:44,792 --> 00:11:45,753
- Let me see.
- Look.

181
00:11:46,552 --> 00:11:47,952
I'll come shortly.

182
00:11:47,952 --> 00:11:48,473
Hurry up.

183
00:11:48,473 --> 00:11:49,952
Be cautious.

184
00:11:56,912 --> 00:11:58,912
What I'm holding is a Four Flavors Puff,

185
00:11:59,552 --> 00:12:01,273
stuffed with
seasonal fruits and flowers.

186
00:12:01,353 --> 00:12:04,192
The crust is made
with rare wild cliff honey.

187
00:12:04,633 --> 00:12:06,592
This honey is incredibly precious.

188
00:12:06,712 --> 00:12:08,552
A single jar costs 100 qian of silver.

189
00:12:09,233 --> 00:12:11,952
You endured years of hardship
on the mountain.

190
00:12:12,353 --> 00:12:14,633
I bet you haven't
enjoyed such luxuries for years.

191
00:12:17,513 --> 00:12:19,832
Here, dig in. It's all yours.

192
00:12:22,952 --> 00:12:24,873
Has living on the mountain

193
00:12:25,552 --> 00:12:27,672
made you forget your manners?

194
00:12:31,873 --> 00:12:32,753
What's wrong?

195
00:12:33,792 --> 00:12:36,952
You have black sesame seeds
stuck between your teeth.

196
00:12:37,712 --> 00:12:38,513
Thank you.

197
00:12:39,072 --> 00:12:40,592
Check my teeth. Where is it?

198
00:12:42,633 --> 00:12:43,473
I don't see it.

199
00:12:43,473 --> 00:12:44,672
Look carefully.

200
00:12:49,993 --> 00:12:50,952
Please spare me.

201
00:12:52,192 --> 00:12:52,993
It's fine.

202
00:12:56,393 --> 00:12:57,952
It won't come off so easily.

203
00:12:57,952 --> 00:13:00,033
May I take you to clean it up?

204
00:13:01,592 --> 00:13:02,473
Wait here.

205
00:13:02,792 --> 00:13:03,592
Alright.

206
00:13:06,273 --> 00:13:08,633
Don't be mad, Your Highness.
Have some pastries.

207
00:13:09,312 --> 00:13:10,113
Take them away.

208
00:13:10,592 --> 00:13:13,873
Never serve me
anything with sesame in public again.

209
00:13:14,353 --> 00:13:15,153
Yes, Your Highness.

210
00:13:23,192 --> 00:13:24,912
Not the milk cakes though.

211
00:13:24,993 --> 00:13:26,473
They're sesame-free.

212
00:13:50,273 --> 00:13:51,552
Bring Ma'am Zhu.

213
00:13:51,792 --> 00:13:52,552
Yes, Your Highness.

214
00:14:13,273 --> 00:14:14,993
Here we are, Your Highness.

215
00:14:28,273 --> 00:14:30,753
There's nothing here. How do I rinse it?

216
00:14:48,633 --> 00:14:49,712
Are you mad at me?

217
00:14:52,873 --> 00:14:56,353
Li, let me explain.

218
00:14:56,633 --> 00:14:58,552
I didn't mean
to break off our engagement.

219
00:14:58,552 --> 00:15:01,153
They forced me to.

220
00:15:01,792 --> 00:15:04,432
They said that Guo Jin
had become suspicious of me.

221
00:15:05,353 --> 00:15:08,633
Marrying you would be
dragging you down with me.

222
00:15:09,993 --> 00:15:13,033
I thought you could stay on the mountain

223
00:15:13,672 --> 00:15:14,873
if I broke off the marriage.

224
00:15:16,993 --> 00:15:21,873
But Guo Jin betrothed you
to that disabled man.

225
00:15:25,513 --> 00:15:26,912
What are you trying to say?

226
00:15:28,393 --> 00:15:29,192
Li.

227
00:15:31,912 --> 00:15:32,912
Let's run away.

228
00:15:34,633 --> 00:15:35,432
Run away?

229
00:15:36,993 --> 00:15:37,792
Yes.

230
00:15:38,832 --> 00:15:39,633
Run away.

231
00:15:41,873 --> 00:15:44,993
I've had this idea for too long.

232
00:15:47,072 --> 00:15:48,072
On your wedding day,

233
00:15:49,993 --> 00:15:51,873
I saw you step into
another man's carriage

234
00:15:52,792 --> 00:15:54,273
in your bridal gown.

235
00:15:56,952 --> 00:16:00,353
That's when the thought
took root in my mind.

236
00:16:05,712 --> 00:16:07,473
I want to take you
to ride out of the city,

237
00:16:09,312 --> 00:16:10,912
through the Eastern Market,

238
00:16:12,792 --> 00:16:14,153
out past the city gates,

239
00:16:16,113 --> 00:16:18,033
and along the winding mountain path,

240
00:16:20,153 --> 00:16:21,153
back to Lishan Mountain.

241
00:16:25,592 --> 00:16:26,792
And if not Lishan Mountain,

242
00:16:27,273 --> 00:16:28,113
then Eastern Peak,

243
00:16:28,832 --> 00:16:29,832
or the borderlands,

244
00:16:31,273 --> 00:16:32,192
or Cangbei.

245
00:16:34,792 --> 00:16:35,672
Anywhere is fine,

246
00:16:37,633 --> 00:16:38,592
as long as you're there.

247
00:16:41,712 --> 00:16:42,912
But you didn't do that.

248
00:16:49,513 --> 00:16:50,312
That's right.

249
00:16:52,952 --> 00:16:54,273
Because I got scared.

250
00:16:55,712 --> 00:16:58,113
I knew we couldn't
make it back to Lishan Mountain.

251
00:16:58,832 --> 00:17:01,192
We couldn't even escape that alley.

252
00:17:09,552 --> 00:17:11,152
You haven't changed one bit.

253
00:17:11,792 --> 00:17:13,312
Still the same as before.

254
00:17:14,072 --> 00:17:16,792
Cowardly and hypocritical.

255
00:17:17,312 --> 00:17:20,592
You always hide your ugliness
behind high-sounding words.

256
00:17:20,592 --> 00:17:21,713
And after a while,

257
00:17:22,673 --> 00:17:26,953
you actually start believing
that you're honest and righteous.

258
00:17:28,392 --> 00:17:29,352
Prince Li.

259
00:17:30,552 --> 00:17:34,632
Don't you find yourself ridiculous
when you say these things?

260
00:17:46,193 --> 00:17:47,072
Mo Jingli,

261
00:17:48,392 --> 00:17:50,552
I genuinely despise you.

262
00:17:51,312 --> 00:17:52,792
So stay away from me.

263
00:18:00,352 --> 00:18:02,473
Ma'am, where are they?

264
00:18:02,872 --> 00:18:03,632
Li.

265
00:18:05,112 --> 00:18:06,433
I hear voices up ahead.

266
00:18:06,753 --> 00:18:07,792
Shall we take a look?

267
00:18:07,953 --> 00:18:08,792
Let's go.

268
00:18:09,392 --> 00:18:10,993
No, I don't believe it.

269
00:18:11,112 --> 00:18:13,753
If you truly didn't care
and truly loathed me,

270
00:18:13,753 --> 00:18:15,233
why did you kill Lu Changfu?

271
00:18:18,832 --> 00:18:21,632
You knew
my precarious position at court.

272
00:18:22,392 --> 00:18:23,872
So you killed Lu Changfu

273
00:18:24,552 --> 00:18:28,552
to sow discord between His Majesty
and the Empress Dowager, right?

274
00:18:30,112 --> 00:18:33,392
You can't fool me.
I know your tactics all too well.

275
00:18:34,312 --> 00:18:37,233
So you still care about me.

276
00:18:40,152 --> 00:18:41,513
I killed Lu Changfu

277
00:18:42,473 --> 00:18:43,552
not for you,

278
00:18:44,872 --> 00:18:46,473
but for Lishan Academy.

279
00:18:47,112 --> 00:18:49,392
He owed Lishan Academy seven lives.

280
00:18:49,392 --> 00:18:50,913
He had to pay with his life.

281
00:18:51,552 --> 00:18:53,112
It had nothing to do with you.

282
00:18:56,273 --> 00:18:57,392
Ye Li, stop.

283
00:18:59,753 --> 00:19:01,312
Take one more step forward,

284
00:19:02,072 --> 00:19:03,513
and I will jump into this pond.

285
00:19:04,152 --> 00:19:06,872
You know I can't swim.

286
00:19:17,112 --> 00:19:19,753
Let go of me. Let me die.

287
00:19:20,433 --> 00:19:22,713
Let me go.

288
00:19:23,433 --> 00:19:25,632
Let me die.

289
00:19:26,792 --> 00:19:32,592
(Cicadas always seem to want
attention by making noise,)

290
00:19:33,352 --> 00:19:35,872
(as if that's the whole point
of their existence.)

291
00:19:36,913 --> 00:19:39,592
(But the membranes
they use to make noise are so thin)

292
00:19:40,152 --> 00:19:42,913
(that the slightest strain
tears them apart.)

293
00:19:44,592 --> 00:19:45,513
(Mo Jingli.)

294
00:19:46,632 --> 00:19:48,473
(You are exactly like those cicadas.)

295
00:20:32,552 --> 00:20:33,352
Master Gu.

296
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,472
(Gu Zheng)

297
00:20:36,033 --> 00:20:36,832
Long time no see.

298
00:20:39,152 --> 00:20:40,352
General Mo.

299
00:20:42,112 --> 00:20:45,473
No, Prince Ding, I should say.

300
00:20:45,713 --> 00:20:48,673
What brings you to visit
an old man like me?

301
00:20:50,673 --> 00:20:53,152
I've come to request your assistance.

302
00:20:54,273 --> 00:20:55,472
You joined the officialdom?

303
00:20:57,152 --> 00:20:58,544
Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture.

304
00:21:06,753 --> 00:21:10,832
Master Gu, you are
just like a pearl buried in dust.

305
00:21:11,713 --> 00:21:13,433
The people yearn for true governance.

306
00:21:13,753 --> 00:21:14,913
But shadow lingers

307
00:21:15,112 --> 00:21:16,273
above the imperial court.

308
00:21:16,713 --> 00:21:21,792
If you'd take up the brush of justice
and join me in sweeping away

309
00:21:22,312 --> 00:21:24,233
centuries of corruption

310
00:21:24,433 --> 00:21:25,513
and purging the world

311
00:21:25,513 --> 00:21:26,792
of its filth,

312
00:21:27,152 --> 00:21:29,513
then we can build a legacy

313
00:21:29,993 --> 00:21:33,872
that shakes heaven and earth
and saves the people.

314
00:21:34,513 --> 00:21:38,433
Where did you learn those fancy words,
just to disgust me?

315
00:21:38,673 --> 00:21:42,993
I paid a scholar on the way here.
He wrote it on the spot.

316
00:21:43,152 --> 00:21:44,713
I bet you didn't pay him well.

317
00:21:44,713 --> 00:21:46,713
The flattery is devoid of sincerity.

318
00:21:46,713 --> 00:21:47,913
Get real with me.

319
00:21:51,993 --> 00:21:53,273
I intend to rectify the wrongs,

320
00:21:54,152 --> 00:21:55,592
restore my family's honor,

321
00:21:56,193 --> 00:21:57,552
vindicate the Heiyun Cavalry,

322
00:21:58,953 --> 00:22:02,552
and seek justice
for my deceased elder brother.

323
00:22:03,152 --> 00:22:04,513
The cost of securing my services

324
00:22:04,552 --> 00:22:06,713
might be too high for you.

325
00:22:07,552 --> 00:22:10,072
Why don't you spell it out?

326
00:22:17,112 --> 00:22:20,053
I want to engrave the denunciation
from eight years ago

327
00:22:20,053 --> 00:22:22,993
on Marquis Muyang's tombstone.

328
00:22:31,513 --> 00:22:32,433
Deal.

329
00:22:34,273 --> 00:22:35,120
On the fifth day of next month,

330
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:36,673
the Minister of Rites will
hold a feast for his grandson.

331
00:22:36,673 --> 00:22:39,568
At the Heaven-worshipping ceremony
three years ago, entrusted by you,

332
00:22:39,568 --> 00:22:40,872
he offered incense for you.

333
00:22:40,953 --> 00:22:42,273
You sought his help

334
00:22:42,273 --> 00:22:43,792
and wished for eighteen sons.

335
00:22:43,792 --> 00:22:45,152
It became a running joke.

336
00:22:45,152 --> 00:22:47,513
It went perfectly,
but we need a follow-up.

337
00:22:47,953 --> 00:22:49,312
Your Highness should thank him.

338
00:22:49,312 --> 00:22:52,312
The gift shouldn't be too modest.
Nor should it be excessive.

339
00:22:53,473 --> 00:22:56,233
I have prepared a set
of gold lock, bracelet, and anklet

340
00:22:56,233 --> 00:22:58,993
with auspicious cloud patterns

341
00:22:58,993 --> 00:23:00,433
and a pair of jade pendants.

342
00:23:01,072 --> 00:23:04,913
At the banquet, you'd best
play the zither to congratulate them.

343
00:23:05,592 --> 00:23:08,473
On the eighth day of next month,
there's a polo match at Yunjing Garden.

344
00:23:08,473 --> 00:23:09,832
Yuan Changkong will be there.

345
00:23:09,913 --> 00:23:11,673
You've been on bad terms for years.

346
00:23:11,753 --> 00:23:13,513
Make sure you argue with him.

347
00:23:13,513 --> 00:23:15,673
Get physical if possible

348
00:23:15,673 --> 00:23:17,072
till you have bruises on the face.

349
00:23:21,233 --> 00:23:22,673
- On the fifteenth day...
- I won't go.

350
00:23:24,473 --> 00:23:25,433
Which one?

351
00:23:26,513 --> 00:23:27,713
None of them.

352
00:23:30,513 --> 00:23:32,273
But you must show up, Your Highness.

353
00:23:32,953 --> 00:23:35,312
You haven't joined any banquets
in over a month.

354
00:23:35,312 --> 00:23:37,312
Do you know what people say about you?

355
00:23:37,312 --> 00:23:39,913
They say that you've settled down
since you got married,

356
00:23:40,792 --> 00:23:44,913
casting aside your frivolous ways
and becoming composed.

357
00:23:47,673 --> 00:23:52,312
But why would the son
of a former crown prince be so composed?

358
00:23:58,312 --> 00:23:59,913
Then what should I do?

359
00:24:03,592 --> 00:24:04,913
Be as you were before.

360
00:24:09,592 --> 00:24:11,193
As I was before?

361
00:24:13,872 --> 00:24:14,753
Play the zither,

362
00:24:14,753 --> 00:24:15,552
get drunk,

363
00:24:15,552 --> 00:24:16,473
act like a madman,

364
00:24:18,673 --> 00:24:20,592
and get into brawls with others.

365
00:24:22,312 --> 00:24:23,233
Better still,

366
00:24:24,993 --> 00:24:26,753
tear my clothes,

367
00:24:27,513 --> 00:24:28,872
bruise my face,

368
00:24:30,193 --> 00:24:33,913
then parade that very image
of degeneracy at court,

369
00:24:34,513 --> 00:24:38,473
inciting revulsion from all,
and making myself the laughingstock.

370
00:24:39,273 --> 00:24:40,312
That's exactly it.

371
00:24:59,792 --> 00:25:01,673
I know your heart harbors bitterness.

372
00:25:02,392 --> 00:25:03,632
But this is the only way

373
00:25:04,352 --> 00:25:07,473
to convince the Empress Dowager
that you're just a decadent libertine

374
00:25:07,792 --> 00:25:11,352
instead of someone consumed by hatred.

375
00:25:13,233 --> 00:25:14,632
And only then...

376
00:25:22,832 --> 00:25:24,673
can you survive.

377
00:25:25,673 --> 00:25:29,033
Only then can your family survive.

378
00:25:42,193 --> 00:25:46,832
Then I shall continue
making the arrangements for you.

379
00:25:53,792 --> 00:25:55,312
Since Your Highness feels troubled,

380
00:25:56,433 --> 00:25:57,193
let off some steam

381
00:25:58,513 --> 00:25:59,913
at the Yinshan Mountain Retreat

382
00:26:02,273 --> 00:26:03,713
(Visit Yinshan Mountain Retreat)
on the day after tomorrow.

383
00:26:40,152 --> 00:26:42,112
Your Highness.

384
00:26:42,112 --> 00:26:43,993
Master Zhu's stone flowers have bloomed.

385
00:26:44,473 --> 00:26:45,392
Really?

386
00:26:45,792 --> 00:26:46,632
Take a look.

387
00:26:47,832 --> 00:26:48,433
Your Highness.

388
00:26:49,632 --> 00:26:51,352
Tao and I tend to them meticulously.

389
00:26:51,352 --> 00:26:52,953
We water them with the dew

390
00:26:52,953 --> 00:26:54,953
from the grass tips
before the sun rises.

391
00:26:55,473 --> 00:26:56,913
Surely they sense our devotion.

392
00:26:57,033 --> 00:26:58,233
So they bloom to delight us.

393
00:26:58,592 --> 00:26:59,913
Your Highness promised

394
00:26:59,913 --> 00:27:01,352
to treat us to a feast

395
00:27:01,352 --> 00:27:02,592
if the stone flower blooms.

396
00:27:02,592 --> 00:27:03,953
Are you true to your word?

397
00:27:04,033 --> 00:27:04,832
Of course.

398
00:27:05,592 --> 00:27:06,953
That's great!

399
00:27:06,953 --> 00:27:07,953
- Thank you, Your Highness.
- Thank you, Your Highness.

400
00:27:09,913 --> 00:27:10,713
Your Highness.

401
00:27:11,473 --> 00:27:12,392
What happened outside?

402
00:27:12,953 --> 00:27:13,993
Just on my way here,

403
00:27:14,033 --> 00:27:17,953
I noticed many strong men
hauling furniture around,

404
00:27:17,953 --> 00:27:19,713
as if installing new furnishings.

405
00:27:24,352 --> 00:27:24,953
Hurry up.

406
00:27:24,953 --> 00:27:25,713
Be careful.

407
00:27:25,713 --> 00:27:27,112
Don't chip anything. Hurry up.

408
00:27:42,513 --> 00:27:45,552
Are you renovating the mansion?
Why did you buy so many things?

409
00:27:46,592 --> 00:27:47,632
Ask your third uncle.

410
00:27:55,872 --> 00:27:57,392
Higher.

411
00:27:58,392 --> 00:27:59,072
Be careful.

412
00:28:00,033 --> 00:28:02,352
My screen with mother-of-pearl Inlay.

413
00:28:02,352 --> 00:28:03,352
Be careful, okay?

414
00:28:04,112 --> 00:28:05,033
Watch it.

415
00:28:05,993 --> 00:28:06,832
Uncle Wenshen.

416
00:28:07,273 --> 00:28:08,033
Li.

417
00:28:09,832 --> 00:28:10,953
Your timing is perfect.

418
00:28:10,953 --> 00:28:12,552
Take this inside the room.

419
00:28:13,072 --> 00:28:14,592
Let's get this one. It's light.

420
00:28:14,592 --> 00:28:16,233
Come on, give me a hand.

421
00:28:16,953 --> 00:28:18,033
What a commotion.

422
00:28:18,152 --> 00:28:19,792
You emptied the entire Longevity Shop?

423
00:28:20,072 --> 00:28:22,792
Of course not.
These are just daily necessities.

424
00:28:22,913 --> 00:28:24,953
I can't stay at your place forever.

425
00:28:24,953 --> 00:28:26,513
I have so much work at the shop.

426
00:28:26,513 --> 00:28:29,233
Those devotees are waiting for me
to pray for them.

427
00:28:29,673 --> 00:28:30,753
How long will you stay?

428
00:28:31,953 --> 00:28:33,152
Let's start with two months.

429
00:28:33,473 --> 00:28:34,713
That's way too long.

430
00:28:35,953 --> 00:28:37,632
How heartless can you be?

431
00:28:37,632 --> 00:28:39,592
Who treats you best
in the entire Ye family?

432
00:28:39,592 --> 00:28:40,632
It's me, right?

433
00:28:40,792 --> 00:28:41,993
Can't I stay for a few days?

434
00:28:42,312 --> 00:28:43,033
Why can't I...

435
00:28:48,832 --> 00:28:49,632
What's that?

436
00:28:50,033 --> 00:28:53,433
This... is the Celestial Maiden.

437
00:28:54,513 --> 00:28:57,792
Loot at her. Her beaded necklace
is magnificent, right?

438
00:28:59,392 --> 00:29:02,193
Li, you are now
the esteemed Princess Consort.

439
00:29:02,592 --> 00:29:04,953
Your daily provisions
must reflect that status.

440
00:29:05,473 --> 00:29:06,392
From what I see now,

441
00:29:06,392 --> 00:29:08,792
my apprentices at the shop
live better than you.

442
00:29:08,792 --> 00:29:09,792
That won't do.

443
00:29:09,792 --> 00:29:10,872
The bed is stiff.

444
00:29:10,872 --> 00:29:12,233
The desk is small. The window...

445
00:29:12,233 --> 00:29:13,632
What about the window?

446
00:29:14,372 --> 00:29:16,072
It lets in far too much light.

447
00:29:16,072 --> 00:29:18,513
It's too transparent.
It disturbs my sleep.

448
00:29:18,872 --> 00:29:20,993
Bad sleep gives me awful headaches.

449
00:29:20,993 --> 00:29:22,713
I'll do it myself. Let it be.

450
00:29:22,713 --> 00:29:24,352
Tell you what, I brought some fine tea.

451
00:29:24,352 --> 00:29:25,112
Come on in.

452
00:29:37,168 --> 00:29:38,953
(Basking in Grace)

453
00:29:38,953 --> 00:29:40,112
Green Plum Prelude.

454
00:29:47,233 --> 00:29:48,632
You just can't let it go.

455
00:29:49,592 --> 00:29:51,832
Ye Li, you've gone too far this time.

456
00:29:52,112 --> 00:29:53,993
Your Highness, please calm down.

457
00:29:54,312 --> 00:29:56,273
They merely had an engagement years ago.

458
00:29:56,273 --> 00:29:57,552
It's all in the past.

459
00:29:57,872 --> 00:29:58,913
How is that in the past?

460
00:29:59,233 --> 00:30:00,953
They're still meeting in private.

461
00:30:00,953 --> 00:30:02,352
Were you blind?

462
00:30:02,352 --> 00:30:03,632
So what if they meet?

463
00:30:03,832 --> 00:30:05,392
It's the Empress Dowager's decree.

464
00:30:05,673 --> 00:30:06,513
They are

465
00:30:06,513 --> 00:30:07,433
both married.

466
00:30:07,592 --> 00:30:10,592
She won't let them off
if they do anything inappropriate.

467
00:30:11,312 --> 00:30:12,832
I can't swallow this insult.

468
00:30:14,673 --> 00:30:16,193
What can you do?

469
00:30:18,513 --> 00:30:19,513
Someone has to die.

470
00:30:20,273 --> 00:30:21,072
Your husband?

471
00:30:21,572 --> 00:30:22,993
Y-You want to kill Prince Li?

472
00:30:23,273 --> 00:30:25,152
That's a deadly crime.

473
00:30:25,433 --> 00:30:26,392
What nonsense.

474
00:30:26,632 --> 00:30:27,632
I'm talking about Ye Li.

475
00:30:28,513 --> 00:30:33,033
Your Highness, we can't just
kill someone like in the storybook.

476
00:30:33,433 --> 00:30:34,273
How do you kill her?

477
00:30:34,513 --> 00:30:36,193
She is Princess Ding.

478
00:30:36,433 --> 00:30:37,792
Who would take such a job?

479
00:30:38,513 --> 00:30:42,112
Let me make you something to eat.
Stop overthinking this.

480
00:30:47,273 --> 00:30:49,832
So what if she's Princess Ding?
I'm Princess Li.

481
00:30:50,592 --> 00:30:51,832
I'll find a way.

482
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,572
(Groceries)

483
00:31:07,888 --> 00:31:09,936
(Han Mingxi)

484
00:31:12,792 --> 00:31:15,273
My Lady, are you looking
for someone to hire?

485
00:31:17,713 --> 00:31:18,473
Your price range?

486
00:31:19,273 --> 00:31:21,792
It depends on the distance.

487
00:31:21,792 --> 00:31:22,673
We have many workers.

488
00:31:23,033 --> 00:31:24,673
How many people do you need?

489
00:31:24,832 --> 00:31:26,993
The job takes place inside the capital.

490
00:31:27,392 --> 00:31:28,312
Inside the capital?

491
00:31:28,552 --> 00:31:29,072
Yes.

492
00:31:30,152 --> 00:31:31,913
The headcount doesn't matter

493
00:31:32,233 --> 00:31:33,713
as long as the job is done neatly.

494
00:31:33,913 --> 00:31:34,792
Rest assured.

495
00:31:34,913 --> 00:31:37,033
Our men always carry out tasks cleanly.

496
00:31:37,673 --> 00:31:38,673
Good.

497
00:31:39,552 --> 00:31:42,033
Bring the target before me,
and you shall be rewarded.

498
00:31:42,233 --> 00:31:43,632
Bring the target before you?

499
00:31:43,673 --> 00:31:45,872
Yes. Do not strike yet.

500
00:31:45,993 --> 00:31:47,592
Wait for my command.

501
00:31:47,673 --> 00:31:50,072
My Lady, what kind of workers
are you seeking?

502
00:31:50,753 --> 00:31:51,592
Assassins.

503
00:31:52,473 --> 00:31:53,273
Assassins?

504
00:31:53,713 --> 00:31:55,193
We escort goods for a living.

505
00:31:55,352 --> 00:31:56,753
We can help collect debts.

506
00:31:57,033 --> 00:31:58,872
But murder is out of the question.

507
00:31:59,152 --> 00:31:59,673
But...

508
00:31:59,673 --> 00:32:00,513
Please leave.

509
00:32:00,592 --> 00:32:02,673
Or I'll report you to the authorities.

510
00:32:02,792 --> 00:32:03,312
I...

511
00:32:05,993 --> 00:32:07,072
What's the world coming to?

512
00:32:10,993 --> 00:32:12,193
Need an assassin?

513
00:32:24,152 --> 00:32:26,312
Why do we have to talk here?

514
00:32:26,592 --> 00:32:29,832
The most dangerous place
is often the safest.

515
00:32:30,433 --> 00:32:32,473
It's the biggest restaurant
in the capital.

516
00:32:32,473 --> 00:32:38,112
No one would imagine
that under broad daylight,

517
00:32:38,273 --> 00:32:42,953
someone would discuss
a murder deal here.

518
00:32:46,152 --> 00:32:48,033
Why do we have to talk like this?

519
00:32:48,552 --> 00:32:49,953
For our safety,

520
00:32:50,033 --> 00:32:52,993
it's best if we never
see each other's faces.

521
00:32:54,352 --> 00:32:55,552
Who do you want to kill?

522
00:32:57,713 --> 00:32:58,513
Don't say it.

523
00:33:04,273 --> 00:33:05,072
Write it down.

524
00:33:12,336 --> 00:33:13,584
(Princess Ding, Ye Li)

525
00:33:16,513 --> 00:33:17,832
Can you afford my price?

526
00:33:18,913 --> 00:33:20,713
Of course. Name your price.

527
00:33:22,672 --> 00:33:23,312
(Five thousand guan)

528
00:33:25,473 --> 00:33:26,673
So much?

529
00:33:30,433 --> 00:33:31,033
Deal.

530
00:33:31,872 --> 00:33:33,112
Then it's settled.

531
00:33:33,233 --> 00:33:34,312
You're killing her now?

532
00:33:34,312 --> 00:33:35,112
Turn around.

533
00:33:38,592 --> 00:33:41,392
I have some arrangements to make.

534
00:33:44,753 --> 00:33:45,993
I have one more condition.

535
00:33:48,872 --> 00:33:49,632
I'm listening.

536
00:33:49,753 --> 00:33:52,352
Capture her alive and bring her to me.

537
00:33:52,592 --> 00:33:56,193
I am an assassin, not a kidnapper.

538
00:33:56,233 --> 00:33:57,273
You too, turn around.

539
00:33:59,592 --> 00:34:00,513
I know.

540
00:34:01,792 --> 00:34:02,673
It's just that...

541
00:34:03,832 --> 00:34:04,592
I...

542
00:34:04,792 --> 00:34:06,072
You wish to do it yourself?

543
00:34:08,913 --> 00:34:11,433
Yes. Exactly.

544
00:34:11,752 --> 00:34:12,953
So I want her alive.

545
00:34:13,112 --> 00:34:15,272
That increases the price.

546
00:34:15,953 --> 00:34:17,833
Get it done and you'll get double.

547
00:34:17,833 --> 00:34:18,552
Deal.

548
00:34:19,272 --> 00:34:20,473
Is there anything else?

549
00:34:20,953 --> 00:34:21,712
No.

550
00:34:31,353 --> 00:34:32,473
Won't you take the front door?

551
00:34:32,473 --> 00:34:35,833
I'm an assassin.
I never take the front door.

552
00:34:42,993 --> 00:34:43,913
What an expert.

553
00:34:58,192 --> 00:34:59,592
Look where you're going.

554
00:35:52,473 --> 00:35:55,033
You've been busy all day.
Have some lychees and rest.

555
00:35:55,513 --> 00:35:59,393
The imperial physician says lychees
replenish energy and relieve fatigue.

556
00:35:59,552 --> 00:36:01,152
A short break will do you good.

557
00:36:01,913 --> 00:36:03,433
I didn't realize it.

558
00:36:04,313 --> 00:36:06,873
I am somewhat tired, indeed.

559
00:36:17,672 --> 00:36:19,793
Crystal clear and sweet. Very good.

560
00:36:22,793 --> 00:36:24,473
Documents pile up like mountains.

561
00:36:24,632 --> 00:36:26,232
Why bind yourself so?

562
00:36:26,873 --> 00:36:28,552
You're exhausting yourself here.

563
00:36:28,793 --> 00:36:32,313
But that young child
may not appreciate your kindness.

564
00:36:34,473 --> 00:36:36,072
What have you heard again?

565
00:36:38,152 --> 00:36:42,112
I heard Prince Ding requested a man
from His Majesty. Gu Zheng.

566
00:36:43,033 --> 00:36:45,353
His Majesty has already released him.

567
00:36:49,313 --> 00:36:50,112
Gu Zheng.

568
00:36:52,313 --> 00:36:53,833
He joined the court 14 years ago.

569
00:36:54,192 --> 00:36:57,712
The longstanding cases he solved
proved him capable.

570
00:36:57,712 --> 00:36:59,024
In the first year of the Xide Era,

571
00:36:59,152 --> 00:37:02,793
Marquis Muyang discovered some
Lishan Academy disciples plotted rebellion

572
00:37:02,913 --> 00:37:04,913
and sent Lu Changfu to arrest them.

573
00:37:05,353 --> 00:37:07,473
But those disciples refused to confess.

574
00:37:07,672 --> 00:37:10,473
So Lu Changfu burned them alive.

575
00:37:11,953 --> 00:37:15,192
Gu Zheng learned of this
and wrote to impeach Marquis Muyang.

576
00:37:15,192 --> 00:37:18,072
His superiors
intercepted the denunciation.

577
00:37:18,353 --> 00:37:20,513
Then he criticized the court
outside the palace,

578
00:37:20,552 --> 00:37:22,192
insulting you and Marquis Muyang,

579
00:37:22,192 --> 00:37:23,672
and was sentenced to death.

580
00:37:23,833 --> 00:37:26,752
But both execution attempts
met with obstacles.

581
00:37:27,393 --> 00:37:30,353
First, lightning struck an ancient tree
in the Marquis Muyang's mansion.

582
00:37:30,913 --> 00:37:33,152
Later, the executioner broke his arm.

583
00:37:34,473 --> 00:37:37,712
You declared that heaven shows mercy
to the living

584
00:37:38,232 --> 00:37:41,232
and that he may carry divine blessings.

585
00:37:41,272 --> 00:37:42,993
You spared his life
and kept him in jail.

586
00:37:43,833 --> 00:37:45,793
Now, eight years have slipped by.

587
00:37:46,152 --> 00:37:47,793
He still refuses to confess

588
00:37:47,993 --> 00:37:49,752
and keeps cursing every day.

589
00:37:50,152 --> 00:37:53,592
His Majesty released such a man

590
00:37:53,632 --> 00:37:57,552
and reinstated him to his position
in the Jingzhao Prefecture.

591
00:37:58,873 --> 00:38:01,513
His Majesty is just a child, after all.

592
00:38:03,712 --> 00:38:04,793
You're right.

593
00:38:05,712 --> 00:38:07,993
Perhaps His Majesty values his ability

594
00:38:08,433 --> 00:38:09,993
and doesn't intend to upset you.

595
00:38:12,873 --> 00:38:16,873
Yanqi is young and hasn't learned
to be thoughtful.

596
00:38:17,632 --> 00:38:18,953
I will guide him.

You fainted in the mansion last night.
