[Episode 22]

17

Uncle

18

Uncle Wu Zhu, are you alright?

19

Uncle

20

Uncle Wu Zhu!

21

Uncle! Uncle!

22

I think I remember the location of Taiping Villa.

23

Where is it?

24

Five li out of the capital.

25

The key to the case that my mother left

26

could be hidden in Taiping Villa.

27

If we find it, we'll find your memories.

28

- We'll go tomorrow.

- No.

29

It'd attract attention if I suddenly went to Taiping Villa now.

30

- Then I'll go.

- Can't do that either.

31

I have an idea...

32

but I'll need a few days to prepare.

33

We'll need lots of people to come with us when we leave the city this time.

34

Why?

35

It's the easiest to hide the truth amid chaos.

36

Great! Great!

37

The bulk buying of paper is a little more expensive that we'd originally thought,

38

but the cost of labour has gone down, so we can make it up.

39

We're going out of the city for fun, so stop thinking about all these things.

40

What are you doing, Fan Xian? Give it back!

41

Hey! What did you call him?

42

Big Brother. Give it back.

43

You don't need to worry about these matters.

44

If I don't worry about it, who's going to worry about it?

45

Our bookstore is about to open.

46

And you're not writing, you're just playing around!

47

Who was the one who said that he wanted to come along?

48

I'm coming to keep an eye on him!

49

Sir, they're ahead.

50

You can't go in!

51

Ling'er wanted to go out too.

52

If you don't mind, we can go out together.

53

I don't mind. The more the merrier.

54

Goodness knows what sort of silly ideas you've got.

55

We're at war in the north, and yet the palace has allowed me to leave the city with you.

56

The more serious the battle, the more we must have fun.

57

It shows the enemy our confidence in winning.

58

What weird logic.

59

It's good for you if you get some exercise outdoors.

60

Whatever you say.

61

Whatever I say?

62

I've missed you.

63

If only we could be married earlier.

64

Then we can be together everyday.

65

Fine! Fine! I'll go to another carriage.

66

You two do whatever you like.

67

Miss Ye, how could you come out and leave Miss with that guy?

68

I'm going to puke if I stay there any longer!

69

If you can stand it, you stay in there.

70

Can you not be so rough?

71

It's you. Where did you hide my brother?

72

Miss Fan Ruoruo,

73

someone is fooling around in the Princess' carriage.

74

It wasn't convenient for me to stay in there.

75

If you don't mind, I'll travel with you.

76

Sit over here.

77

Sister!

78

How could you let her sit in the same carriage as us?

79

You protect me.

80

You'll have to protect me, Sister.

81

Your plan has succeeded. Happy now?

82

Everything I said I meant.

83

Why are we not moving yet?

84

- There's one more person.

- One more person?

85

- Little Xian Xian!

- Dabao?

86

Dabao?

87

Wan'er?

88

I asked him out too.

89

Dabao, come over here!

90

I'll stay here.

91

Father said, I have to let

92

you and Little Xian Xian be together more.

93

Great, you know best!

94

Dabao, stay in that carriage, we're going out for fun.

95

Little Xian Xian, you really know how to have a good time!

96

I told you not to call me that!

97

Okay!

98

Little Xian Xian!

99

The fighting has begun. Yan Ruohai is at the border dealing with the secret reports.

100

He's so busy all the time.

101

Let's hope our country will be able to fight well.

102

Only... recently... people in the six ministries have started making noise.

103

They think that we should attack Northern Qi with all our strength and conquer it.

104

Who came up with this idea?

105

It's not clear yet. It's just there are officials from the six ministries involved.

106

Look into their backgrounds.

107

- Chief.

- His Majesty decided that a siege is a better strategy.

108

The war is almost at an end.

109

Those who are lobbying for more attacks on Northern Qi are traitors.

110

Those who are lobbying for more attacks on Northern Qi are traitors.

111

There are many of this opinion in the bureau too.

112

They say this is the best opportunity to unify the kingdoms.

113

Investigate what you must. Do what you must.

114

Kill those who must be killed.

115

Yes.

116

There are many who want to finish the fight once and for all.

117

The bigger the fire, the faster it burns itself out.

118

What's going on with Fan Xian?

119

He's gone out of the city with Lin Wan'er.

120

Why didn't you go?

121

I can't go. If anything happens with you here, I won't make it back in time.

122

What could happen here?

123

Lately, there have been murmurs in the Inspection and Control Bureau.

124

Some have had enough of you being in charge.

125

Who is this?

126

If I knew, I'd have killed him.

127

Chen Pingping, be careful of those around you.

128

What is it?

129

The chief wants to find out who in the six ministries is advocating for a final battle.

130

That's for your First Team to handle.

131

These days, officials have been having secret meetings.

132

They are preparing to come up with a motion to ask that we conquer Northern Qi for good.

133

That really needs to be looked into.

134

Last night, at the meeting at the Minister of Justice's house,

135

there were people from the bureau participating too.

136

Do you know what you're doing?

137

My son is in Northern Qi.

138

The earlier Northern Qi falls,

139

the sooner he can get out of danger.

140

I haven't told the chief about this.

141

It's not too late to stop what you're doing.

142

Laying siege to Northern Qi... how many years will that take?

143

That's not something that you or I can decide.

144

Everything I do

145

is for Southern Qing.

- The same goes for the Chief.

146

- He's old.

- That's enough. Don't make me catch you myself.

147

Can I poke it?

148

Don't do that. It bites.

149

- Is it poisonous?

- I don't know about that.

150

Look, there's a hole here!

151

There can't be anything hidden in it, right?

152

You're so childish!

153

Poke it, poke it!

154

Dabao, stop playing with worms.

155

I'll teach you some self-defence moves, okay?

156

Self-defence?

157

Is it fun?

158

Dabao...

159

Don't talk to that woman.

160

Don't!

161

She's a fierce woman!

162

She eats people! Super scary!

163

She isn't. She's Wan'er's friend.

164

She's not scary.

165

But I'm Fan Xian's brother. Don't you trust me?

166

Little Xian Xian?

167

If you don't trust me, surely you trust Little Xian Xian.

168

Little Sister, he says you're very fierce. Do you eat people?

169

What?!

170

Fan Sizhe, are you looking for a beating?

171

- Stop there!

- Quick, run!

172

- Run!

- Stop right there!

173

She'll eat people! Run!

174

I didn't think they'd be so happy playing together.

175

Dabao has the heart of a child.

176

The fact that he's willing to come out with you, shows how much he trusts you.

177

We're going to be family.

178

Thank you.

179

Thank you for what?

180

I know my brother's funeral is underway at the house.

181

But because of my identity, I can't go over.

182

Uncle said he didn't want Dabao to stay in the house.

183

He said that since Lin Gong is already gone,

184

then there's no need for those still alive to be tortured.

185

Stop right there!

186

I think you're looking for a beating!

187

But he's still my second brother.

188

Where's Ruoruo? Where's she gone?

189

I think she's gone for a walk. Don't worry about it.

190

Eat a piece of fruit?

191

Your highness, the three day restriction has been lifted.

192

Tell me the recent news.

193

Yes.

194

These days, there have been fierce debates about the war with Northern Qi.

195

Many officials want to send in a motion

196

calling for us to conquer Northern Qi once and for all.

197

The Second Prince is drawing closer links to the military.

198

Fan Xian and Princess Wan'er have left the city.

199

Where to?

200

They went out the southern gate to go on a picnic.

201

The southern gate?

202

The Queen's side--

203

Prime Minister Lin met Lin Wan-er yesterday.

204

How did you get this news?

205

A little eunuch in the palace

206

is the cousin of a guard in the Princess' household.

207

Last night, when he went to visit, he saw Prime Minister Lin

208

enter the Princess' residence in disguise, and so he reported it.

209

So Lin Ruofu went to meet Lin Wan'er in the dead of night, in secret...

210

So Lin Ruofu went to meet Lin Wan'er in the dead of night, in secret...

211

Don't you find this strange?

212

What's wrong?

213

Do you think Lin Wan'er will tell Fan Xian about this?

214

Prime Minister Lin is now fully backing Fan Xian.

215

What's there to hide about this?

216

Get the carriage ready.

217

Your Highness, where are we going?

218

Picnicking.

219

I caught one.

220

Look! Put more effort into it!

221

I'll help you!

222

What did you catch?

223

Don't tell anyone what I've come to say to you.

224

Especially Fan Xian.

225

Help me with something when you go out picnicking tomorrow.

226

Find an excuse to get away with Fan Xian alone.

227

Leave the others and go into the forest.

228

Remember, no matter what happens then.

229

What's wrong? You're not feeling well?

230

No--No.

231

How have you been feeling recently? Anything wrong?

232

Nothing, there's nothing wrong.

233

I got it!

234

Let it down! Let it down!

235

The Minister of Rites has personally come to pay his respects to Lin Gong.

236

Aren't you going to meet him?

237

When we meet, we'll exchange these pleasantries...

238

He'll tell me to restrain my grief, I will thank him.

239

It's so boring.

240

But you should be at Lin Gong's memorial.

241

Will he come back to life if I'm there?

242

Have you sent the men out?

243

They're all martial arts experts and are already stationed outside the city.

244

But there are many people going out with Fan Xian and Wan'er. It's not easy to take action.

245

But there are many people going out with Fan Xian and Wan'er. It's not easy to take action.

246

He'll move away from the group.

247

What are you exactly going to do?

248

There will be people who will attack Fan Xian.

249

You'll have to pretend that you know nothing.

250

Don't let him figure out what's going on.

251

Haven't you always been supporting Fan Xian?

252

Haven't you entrusted him with the future of the Lin family?

253

Gong'er's death still doesn't have an explanation.

254

I can hand the Lin family over to an outsider.

255

But I still need to eliminate all my suspicions.

256

All this time supporting and helping him... was it all an act?

257

That's not it.

258

If Fan Xian can pass this test,

259

I do genuinely want to support him to become a pillar of the Lin family.

260

The day Lin Gong was killed, Fan Xian didn't leave the city.

261

I have a hunch.

262

What if Fan Xian has a martial arts expert by his side,

263

someone who is as skilled as any of the four Grandmasters?

264

Fan Xian stays in the city, while the expert kills Gong'er outside.

265

Si Lili said that she never told Lin Gong's secret to Fan Xian.

266

It's not important what Si Lili says.

267

As long as we can prove that Fan Xian has an expert with him,

268

then I can confirm

269

that he's the one who killed Gong'er.

270

So that's why you got me to send all our best fighters out of the city?

271

This assassination attempt is the final test.

272

Dabao and Wan'er are there too.

273

What if something goes wrong?

274

It's precisely because they're there

275

that no one will believe that I'm the one behind this.

276

that no one will believe that I'm the one behind this.

277

I hope no such expert appears.

278

I got one! I got one!

279

I told you, Dabao doesn't lie!

280

Haven't we caught one?

281

We've got two!

282

You're the only one who hasn't got one!

283

Just wait and see.

284

What's wrong?

285

I think..

286

What are you thinking about?

287

I would like to go for a walk around here.

288

Why?

289

Wan-er?

290

Here, it's for you.

291

Where did you go?

292

There's a field of flowers over there.

293

Brother, don't just sit here.

294

I'll show you where to pick flowers, and you can make a crown for Wan'er too.

295

Good.

296

Wan-er, please wait for me.

297

Brother, I've seen Taiping Villa.

298

Just head east along the river, and you'll see it.

299

Good.

300

I'll take a look. You stay behind and cover for me.

301

Brother, i'll go with you.

302

Let's quickly leave, don't let her see.

303

Listen up.

304

Fan Xian will enter the forest alone. And then we'll attack him!

305

Be careful. Don't let Miss be harmed.

306

Yes.

307

What about it? Where is Fan Xian?

308

Miss is alone. Fan Xian isn't there.

309

What?! No Fan Xian?

310

That's right. I snuck over.

311

I saw Miss and Master,

312

but I don't know where Fan Xian is.

313

What's going on?

314

Don't panic.

315

We'll wait, wait until they come out.

316

Go check again!

317

It's just up front!

318

Taiping House is where my mother lived before.

319

I can't let others know I've been here before, so I thought of having an outing as an excuse.

320

I know. I'll keep this a secret for you.

321

Uncle Zhushu will come later too. You guys haven't met yet.

322

Is Uncle Zhushu easy to get along with?

323

He doesn't talk much.

324

You guys are here to reminisce the past?

325

For a key.

326

Key?

327

It's just over there.

328

Brother, it's right here.

329

The place where Mom lived.

330

There aren't any weeds on the wall. Someone must be caring for the place.

331

Maybe, someone lives there?

332

That's not right.

333

If someone lives there, then there should be smoke coming out of the house at this time of day.

334

Maybe...they eat early?

335

It's so quiet around here. There aren't any birds chirping at all.

336

No matter what, let's go there first.

337

Brother, look. These flowers are so pretty.

338

Let's pick some for Sister-in-law.

339

We did tell her that we've come here to pick flowers.

340

Let's hurry up and go back. We shouldn't make them wait.

341

Here.

342

Catch me! Catch me!

343

Let's catch fish! We've caught a fish!

344

Xiao Xianxian!

345

Look, we caught a fish! I caught a fish!

346

Little Xianxian, I've caught a fish!

347

I'm not a fish!

348

Then this time, I'm the fish. You catch me, okay?

349

Catch me!

350

Catch me! Catch me!

351

You're back?

352

Greetings, Crown Prince.

353

Third Cousin.

354

Where's Fan Xian?

355

She went to look at flowers. You're looking for her?

356

All rise. No need to be so vocal.

357

Let's go for a walk.

358

When Fan Xian comes back, ask him to wait for me.

359

Okay.

360

What's the time now?

361

It's time to take action.

362

What if we fail?

363

Earlier in the year, these people were already being maintained outside the city.

364

Even if there's a miscalculation, it won't implicate the Prime Minister's manor.

365

Anyways, before this,

366

they hadn't even seen Fan Xian before.

367

They won't give themselves away.

368

Sir has helped me a lot.

369

If he's not a high level martial arts practitioner, how would he be able to help Fan Xian?

370

About Gong'er's death,

371

I fear injustice won't be able to be redressed.

372

- B-boss!

- W-what?

373

He's escaped!

374

Young Miss and the young man left by themselves.

375

Mr Yuan had already instructed.

376

Once we lured this young lady out, it must be Fan Xian.

377

Remember to help in all possible ways later.

378

We must force the killer behind this to show up.

379

- Understand?

- Yes.

380

Move it.

381

Third Cousin, where are your guards?

382

The carriage stopped at a distance.

383

This is too careless.

384

If they are here, it's inconvenient to talk.

385

Third Cousin, what do you want to say?

386

What did your Father say to you last night?

387

Let me guess.

388

Prime Minister Lin hasn't fully gotten rid of his suspicions about Fan Xian.

389

Am I right?

390

It's not that hard to guess too. Prime Minister Lin has always been cautious in what he does.

391

However, he trusted Fan Xian too quickly.

392

As for you, you are placed in a tight spot, right?

393

Older Brother, the archers can't be seen.

394

Wait here. Don't move.

395

Older Brother!

396

Don't worry. Nothing will happen.

397

Older Brother.

398

Who released the arrows?

399

They don't want anyone to approach Taiping courtyard?

400

Uncle Wu Zhu.

401

You are still considered alert and resourceful.

402

Frankly, it's okay for Ruoruo to see this.

403

Don't worry. She will wake up later.

404

I know who killed Lin Gong.

405

Are you going to say it was Second Cousin who did it again?

406

Who's the killer?

407

It wasn't Fan Xian. You don't need to be distressed.

408

Who was it then?

409

Go back and tell Prime Minister Lin that

410

the killer is definitely a Grandmaster.

411

And then?

412

Relay the message in full details and Prime Minister Lin will naturally understand.

413

Why can't you tell me?

414

This matter is very important.

415

Fan Xian, your end is near!

416

What did you call me?

417

This person isn't Fan Xian.

418

No need to hide it! My hatred for Fan Xian is as deep as the sea.

419

I'd recognize him even if he were in ashes!

420

He really isn't!

421

Young lady, you don't need to be nervous.

422

The person we want to kill is Fan Xian. We don't know you,

423

so we won't hurt you.

424

What's going on?

425

This is all your father's doing?

426

You...stop talking nonsense.

427

Let me tell you. I have a personal grudge with you.

428

It has nothing to do with Prime Minister Lin.

429

If you don't know him, then how do you know her father is Lin Xiang?

430

Come! Bring him to a deserted area and kill him!

431

Wait, wait!

432

He's the Crown Prince!

433

I have seen these two arrows. They are from a Level Nine Master.

434

What should we do now?

435

I'll stall them, and you go another direction and sneak inside to find the key.

436

I've never been here before.

437

Why don't we trade? I'll attract the attention of the enemies, and you go inside to find it.

438

A Level Nine archer is rarely seen.

439

You? You can't handle it.

440

This place is so big. Where should I find it?

441

Enter the bedroom, check the bookshelf and underneath the bed.

442

You remember now?

443

I remembered this after seeing this high wall.

444

How did you get through the enemies?

445

Uncle.

446

Are you even a human?

447

Boss, you are not covering yourself anymore?

448

Cover what? I just revealed myself!

449

We haven't seen anyone for quite a while. Why don't we release him?

450

You guys...are here to see Lin Xiang?

451

Shut up! Stand back there!

452

Go!

453

I'm telling you, he's guessed it's Lin Xiang.

454

We can't let him go.

455

Then what?

456

How do I know?

457

No sign of anything.

458

[Taiping House]

459

What are they doing?

460

Level Nine archers?

461

[Yan Xiaoyi, a commander of the guards in the palace].

462

That arrow just now was pretty good!

463

- Go now.

- You don't need to come out. I will sit here.

464

If you have the guts, shoot an arrow at me.

465

I'm here. Everything will be fine.

466

Be careful.

467

If you are a coward, after eating this,

468

I'm going in.

469

Go back.

470

I caught you.

471

No one here?

472

Go back.

473

When we arrived at the tree, you were already awake.

474

Why didn't you say anything?

475

I thought, you probably didn't want to be seen.

476

Fan Xian trusts you.

477

Who was the archer?

478

Is my older brother already in the courtyard? Is he in danger?

479

Say something!

480

Your Majesty, what are you doing here?

481

This is what I should ask you instead.

482

I...I...I...Today, Wan'er and I...

483

made an appointment to have some leisure time in the outskirts.

484

Subsequently, I walked around.

485

When I came here, I saw a courtyard. I was thirsty and came in to get some water.

486

Look for water to quench your thirst? Continue talking.

487

Subsequently, I look around...and found you.

488

Do you know who used to live here?

489

No idea.

490

An old friend of mine used to live here.

491

When I had the time, I would often come here and look around.

492

What kind of person was she?

493

Fan Xian, it seems like you have never knelt in front of me.

494

Why don't I do it now?

495

Your Majesty.

496

An archery master just trespassed the riverside just now.

497

I was afraid it was a plot to lure the tiger out of the mountains

498

and took the risk. Are you safe?

499

I'm fine.

500

If Your Majesty is safe and sound,

501

I don't need to worry then.

502

I would like to ask another question.

503

Your Majesty, would you like to have a meal?

504

I have already eaten.

505

This is Yan Xiaoyi, a commander of the guards in the palace.

506

He's a Level Nine Master.

507

There's a fine distinction between him and a Grandmaster.

508

I almost forgot just now.

509

A Level Nine Master

510

can hear the breathing sounds of two people behind the partition.

511

Put down your arrow.

512

I'm not being threatened.

513

This is the Music Official, Fan Xian.

514

Don't stop him when he goes out later.

515

Yes.

516

Also, go back and instruct the Imperial Army.

517

When I'm back at the capital, transfer a camp of soldiers here to protect this place.

518

Starting from now, the surrounding of courtyard is banned to everyone.

519

Yes.

520

You almost lost your life.

521

You must know that a Level Nine Master can hear

522

the breathing sound of another person behind the partition.

523

When they hear any sound, they can judge my location

524

and use the arrows to kill you.

525

They can locate positions from the breathing sound behind partitions.

526

They are extraordinary people.

527

They are already not ordinary people.
