"The Heiress"

Episode 10

Thank you, sir.

It's you.

You recognized me?

Han Shiyi, what do you want?

Keep your voice down.

I'm not you. I'm not always up to no good.

How many times did my dad hit me because of you?

That's a long time ago.

Why do you still remember it?

Besides

if you hadn't been so stupid,

would you have been tricked?

You...

And how could you treat me like that?

You held me at knifepoint.

I didn't have another option.

But I never thought about harming you.

I know.

Time's limited. Let's make a long story short.

What on earth happened in Qingzhou?

How was your father framed?

Qingzhou...

Prince Qi's Mansion

My Lord,

go in, please.

Your Highness.

You read agricultural books.

Recently,

Chang Guozan has sent Liao Lian

and Gu Zhi has sent Tang Qian to Qingzhou.

Unwilling to go together, they departed separately.

They're on such bad terms already?

Lord Gu is really something.

Gu Zhi is an upright man.

He didn't gang up with Wang Anli

but he's not mindless.

Even if he's on bad terms with Wang Anli,

Wang won't dare to dispose of him.

His Majesty values loyal and honest officials.

You've got sharp eyes.

Impressive.

Impressive.

By the way,

it seems you're not familiar with the hairpin yet.

Let me teach you.

Take it off.

This hairpin is small

but it's very hard.

There are 99 needles in it.

There are so many needles

in such a thin hairpin?

Yes. Try it.

It'll fire a needle

when you turn its bottom lightly.

Here?

Oh, I wasted a needle.

Feel free to use it.

Don't worry about that.

Today you subdued Xue Jia with just one move

and it looked a bit familiar.

What's familiar?

In the east suburb,

it's not Jiye but you who saved me, isn't it?

How could you not tell me?

Do you always save people without telling them?

Didn't you also save Xue Jia?

In order to help him leave,

you offered to be his hostage.

What are you talking about?

I didn't even know him.

Why would I do that for him?

How did you

come to Yidian Pavilion so quickly today?

To tell the truth,

I received a tip-off

that Wang Anli was going

to dispose of a criminal in exile.

I thought it was suspicious

and had it investigated.

I ordered someone to protect Xue Jia in secret

and he managed to get into the capital.

I thought

he would demand justice on Lord Gu's way

to the court meeting.

Unexpectedly, he was found by the City Guards

and had to go in Yidian Pavilion.

I see.

That's to say

you've been suspecting things about Qingzhou?

Your Highness, I want to go to Qingzhou

and find out the truth for you.

I've never been to Qingzhou either.

Why don't we go together?

If one day I can travel around the world

like a floating cloud,

it'll be so pleasant.

Don't you have to command the Han Army?

How can you be a floating cloud?

I was just imagining.

Why did you pour cold water on it?

I was just being honest with you.

Your Highness,

I have a brilliant idea

and I'll put Wang Er in his place when we're back.

Just wait and see.

Why can you always think of him?

I know his secret.

I have no interest in him.

There aren't any victims or bodies in sight.

Fields have been sowed

and crops are growing well.

There's gonna be a good harvest in autumn.

No wonder His Majesty acclaimed the Second Prince

and said he did a good job relieving the drought.

Yes.

It was two years of severe drought

but he still handled it well.

He deserved to be praised.

But the person who deserves to be praised

is someone else.

Your Highness,

where shall we start?

Let's go ahead and check.

Sugar-coated haws.

Have a look.

Sunflower seeds, peanuts and soybeans for sale.

Hey, sir.

Bro,

Qingzhou suffered two years of drought

but how come there aren't

any signs of it in and around the city?

Is it because the Government's relief came in time?

Well, don't ask me.

I don't know anything.

No one dares

to talk about that.

Why?

Mr. Chen.

What matters most to us now?

News.

And how can we get news?

It's through all kinds of channels.

Give me a little food.

Just a little.

Beggars have news of everything in the country.

There's nothing they don't know.

Check this out.

Little beggar,

do you want to eat something nice with me?

Okay.

Take your time. Don't choke.

These are all yours.

Is it nice?

Now that you ate so many things,

you have to do something for us, don't you?

Go on, please.

Feel free to say what you want.

Did the Government give out

relief for the drought in Qingzhou?

You're a homeless beggar. What are you afraid of?

This is 50 taels.

With it, you can go to another place

and buy a big house there.

You can also buy a lot of food.

But the precondition is

that you tell us everything

we want to know.

Don't worry.

We'll keep this secret.

Are there many beggars like you in Qingzhou?

There was a lot before

but not now.

Where are the beggars?

Lord Xue told them to go home and farm.

He gave them food

and seeds.

They were victims of the drought

who came to the city to beg for food.

How about you?

Why didn't you go home and farm?

I don't have any land to farm.

I don't even know which village

I'm from.

I've always been a beggar

and lived by begging for food.

Did Lord Xue give out food

for disaster relief from the Government?

I don't know about that.

Did the Government send us relief?

Food Lord Xue gave out

to us victims was from

the grain reserves of Qingzhou.

At that time,

a lot of people starved to death here.

I almost died, too.

Luckily, Lord Xue gave out food

and government handed out congee.

If they had done it one day later,

I may haven't even had the strength to get it.

That's to say

Lord Xue is a good officer?

Of course he is.

I would have starved to death without him.

So would many people.

Now that he's a good officer,

why was he arrested?

I have no idea.

To tell the truth,

I saw Lord Xue in the prison.

He even taught me how to write my name.

Do you know how Lord Xue died?

No.

Lin Baozi who's in the same cell as him

is a doctor.

He can cure someone easily.

How could Lord Xue die of a disease?

Is Lin Baozi still in prison?

Yes. He has always been there.

You're so good-looking, sir.

So is this gentleman.

Go in and have a meal.

Right.

Mr. Chen,

you're not a lady.

What are you being so reserved for?

Go.

-Come on. -Come on.

Sir, come on in.

Boss.

You gentlemen don't look familiar to me.

Have you made a reservation?

Reservation?

Look at this gentleman.

He's so handsome and has vast presence.

Do we need to make a reservation?

You didn't know, sir.

Rules here are different.

You need to make a reservation.

Why don't you take a seat first?

I'll find a table for you.

Okay.

I want the best place,

the best feast

and the best food here.

Sir,

our best place

has always belonged to Mr. Pan, the son of Chiliarch.

So...

I see.

Come on in, sir.

How about

now?

It's yours now, sir.

Come with me.

Let's go.

Mr. Chen,

you haven't eaten anything for two meals.

Are you going on a fast?

I don't feel like eating.

Gentlemen,

would you like some ladies to eat with you?

Okay.

I forgot it.

He doesn't like women.

Hold on.

Why don't you

go to that table?

We'll tell you if we need something.

Okay. Enjoy your meal.

Tell me if you need anything.

Okay.

Mr. Chen,

do you feel like eating now?

Let me tell you.

You gotta relax in places like this.

We'll get married in the future.

You can't be indifferent to women.

When I get married,

I'll marry someone who's supportive of me,

quick-witted, clever and kind.

Me, too.

A man or a woman?

When have I said I like men?

My bad. My bad.

The Fifth...

Mr. Chen

certainly likes women, right?

I spoke out of turn and talked nonsense.

I'll drink three cups of booze.

Are you here to drink?

Mr. Chen,

I often

drank this before.

I won't be drunk this time.

Who on earth did you learn

this rakish manner from?

I didn't learn it.

I was born like this.

Who let them take my place?

Who?

This table in the first row is mine.

Where the hell are you from? Get lost now!

You're pregnant.

How long has it been?

You are pregnant. Are you blind?

You're not pregnant?

Go away if you don't want to be beaten.

This is my table.

This is your table?

Call it. Let's see if it'll reply.

You toy boy, do you want to die?

Who attacked me?

Guards.

-Guards. -Yes.

Tie them up!

Stop!

Come.

Come, come, come.

Come.

Stop running.

Come. Keep chasing me.

Keep chasing me.

You have nowhere to escape now.

What did you kneel down for?

It hurts.

Soldiers are here.

Young master.

Young master.

Young master.

Young master,

what's wrong with you?

Adviser Zhang.

Here, let me help you.

-Let me help you. -Adviser Zhang.

Adviser Zhang,

arrest

both of them. Arrest them!

Don't use force. It's just a misunderstanding.

I'll go with you.

Who are you?

Why did you stir up trouble here?

We're merchants from Jiangnan.

There was a misunderstanding between us and your master.

Just a misunderstanding.

Nonsense.

Beat him. Beat him!

Soldiers, take him away.

Don't use force. I'll go myself.

Don't stop me.

-Young master. Young master. -I'll beat

-those two jerks to death. -Young master.

You troublemaker!

Dad.

-My Lord. -Did you look for trouble again?

Dad, your son was beaten.

You've got to revenge me.

What happened?

My Lord,

it's a bit weird. Let me tell you the details later.

You fool,

how could you do that at this point in time?

Lock him in. Don't let him out.

Well...

Dad, have you gone gaga?

I was beaten and you're locking me in?

Just listen to me.

Cut this out for a few days.

Lock him in right now.

Young master, let's go.

Lord is angry.

What an evil creature!

Go in.

Mr. Chen, come. Sit.

Sit.

What... what's wrong?

There's a rat here.

It's normal to see rats in the prison.

It's indeed normal to see rats here.

What's not normal is

that I... I'm afraid of rats.

What shall I do, then?

Of course you gotta get it out of here.

Get down first.

I'm sorry. Sorry.

Go. It... it's there.

Sit.

It's gone.

It really freaked me out.

Mr. Chen,

smell in the prison

is really not nice.

The food

must be yucky here.

Let's look for Lin Baozi now

and get out of here.

Will you feign illness or I?

Feign illness?

If we don't do that, will they let us see a doctor?

It hurts.

There's a letter from the capital.

The Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Court of Justice are

looking into Xue Fuliang's case.

I'm afraid I can't even be

a chiliarch anymore.

Don't worry too much, My Lord.

The Imperial Court of Justice is controlled by Prime Minister Wang.

They'll definitely help you.

It's not that simple.

I'm just a chiliarch

and to Prime Minister Wang,

I'm just a pawn.

He'll abandon me when it's necessary.

I don't think he'll abandon you.

Xue Fuliang has died

and there's not solid evidence.

Prime Minister Wang will help you.

After all, it's easy to abandon someone.

But if he loses people's support,

it'll be awful.

That makes sense.

Our priority is

to wipe out those heads of villages

who will help Xue Fuliang.

Without witnesses,

the dead man will tell no tales.

Right.

We'll dispose of them before those

from the Ministry of Justice arrive.

My Lord,

the two men

young master fought with today

are strangers to me.

They said they were from Jiangnan.

I think something's wrong with it.

Prison

Nice.

Here, here, here.

Here.

Someone's sick again.

Excuse me,

who's Doctor Lin?

You're looking for me?

Are you Lin Baozi?

I like steamed stuffed bun Baozi,

so they called me that.

My name is Lin Rang.

Do you know the meaning of "rang" ?

Doctor Lin,

my friend is sick.

Could you have a look at him?

I may be dead soon.

Give me your hand.

Doctor,

can this disease

be cured?

This disease

is not hard to be cured.

However...

What's wrong?

Is it hard to get the medicine?

He's hot on the inside

and cold on the outside.

How about this?

Drink a boy's urine for a couple of days.

We'll see if it works.

The medicine is easy to get.

Come, Suantou. Come here.

You're of help now.

Doctor Lin, don't worry.

I've got plenty of urine.

I saved it for this handsome man.

I've got urine, too.

My stomach

suddenly stopped hurting.

How strange!

It stopped hurting.

Excellent.

You're an excellent doctor.

The wicked will be punished by the wickeder.

He's not a good man.

Stop laughing.

Do you know whose side you're on?

Nope.

Awesome.

You look

a bit familiar to me.

Let me think.

You're the son of the cousin of the uncle

of my aunt's sister.

Is that you?

We've seen each other once as kids.

Hey, dude,

have we really seen each other?

Of course. Don't you remember?

You once

looked after my dad.

Your dad?

My father

is Xue Fuliang.

Can you prove it?

Why were you arrested, too?

It's a long story.

Qingzhou Prefecture

Prison

I escaped from exile

and luckily with this man's help,

I went back to Qingzhou to see my dad.

Do you know

how my dad died?

I treated Lord Xue for a couple of days.

He was tortured but it wouldn't cause death.

But one night

several men we'd never seen came

and took him away.

Later I heard news

that Lord Xue died from his disease.

Most prisoners here

were heads of villages

who wanted to testify for Lord Xue.

Pan Zhanpeng said

as long as they put their thumbprints on

a testimony about Lord Xue's embezzlement,

they'd be released right away.

Those who are still here

were unwilling to go against their conscience.

Mr. Xue,

Lord Xue gave me something

before he was taken away.

What is it?

Well,

I can't give it to you

until I get out of here.

Do you know

how we can leave here?

I would have been out if I did.

Those jailers have

kept me here as a doctor

who treats prisoners for free.

Prison Where are the two men who were imprisoned today?

One's tall and the other is a toy boy.

They're both in prison.

Take me there now.

Open the door. Quickly.

Haven't you got peanuts on you?

Give them to me.

What do you need them for?

I want to eat them.

I saw you grabbing

a handful of peanuts to hit Pan Bao.

Take them out now.

I'm starving.

Toy boy!

I'll beat you to death.

Open the door!

Yes, young master.

Keep it. Keep it. Use it to hit him.

Pull that toy boy out of here.

Hang him up and beat him!

Yes.

Young master, what's wrong?

Who hit me?

Help.

Don't go.

Don't come over. Don't come over.

Don't come over. Don't come over.

Don't come over.

Don't come over.

What are you waiting for? Go right now.

Come.

Let's go.

Let's go. Go.

This is how it happened, My Lord.

These two men are not ordinary.

Do you think...

Peng Kun, what are you doing here?

Here's the Prime Minister's order.

You do stick to His Highness like glue.

Reckless offender,

how dare you release those prisoners?

Surrender right now

or you'll be shot on the spot!

I'm Prince Qi, Chen Yanyi. Back off now.

This man is not Prince Qi.

He's actually a rebel.

Shoot him to death. Quick!

Order them to stop.

My Lord.

S... stop.

The commissioner is here.

Your Highness, I, Tang Qian, pay respects to you.

Forgo formality.

Thanks for coming so quickly, Lord Tang.

I'll let you deal with this man.

Yes.

Prince Qi, you risked your life

just to save the innocent people.

It's so kind of you. I admire you.

Qingzhou Prefecture

Your Highness,

wanna eat it?

I'm not hungry.

Lin Baozi,

don't you have something to give us?

Lady Xue,

you're really good at deceiving people and adapting yourself.

Nonsense. I...

I'm the heir of Duke Han.

I can tell the pulse of a man from that of a woman.

I don't care whether you're a Han or a Xue.

You're definitely a woman.

Your Highness,

don't believe his nonsense.

Even though she's a lady,

she's indeed the heir of Duke Han.

We're dealing with an important matter.

Now that we didn't watch out for you,

we mean you to serve me.

I don't have any options

except to serve you, do I?

It's to serve the Government.

Fine, fine, fine.

I

am willing to serve Prince Qi.

Where's the thing?

Before Lord Xue was taken away,

he bit his finger and wrote this.

He told me to submit it to the Government.

But Qingzhou is controlled by corrupt officials.

How could I report it?

Alright, now I've sold myself to you

and given you the thing.

I'll be off if nothing else is the matter.

Why did the Fifth Prince make no response

when he heard I was a lady?

Had he...

had he known about it

without telling me?

He's always deep and distrustful.

Looks like he wants to control me with this

and force me to choose sides.

We were late

and failed to save a loyal officer.

Xue Fuliang found that the State of Wei and the State of Qiang conspired

to attack the State of Chen.

He told this matter to Chen Yanhao.

Chen Yanhao disregarded it

and framed Lord Xue

for his own embezzlement.

In times of crisis, what Lord Xue considered about

wasn't the wrong did to him

but safety of the country.

We can't let such a loyal officer

be in infamy forever.

This letter is for General Han.

Does he know your father?

Lord Xue worked in the northern territory for three years

and had a good relationship with my father.

I saw him several times.

That's why you came to Qingzhou?

Yes.

Xue Fuliang's stamp was given by him?

So you helped him escape

in Yidian Pavilion.

What a good show.

Han Shiyi,

I've underestimated you.

Your Highness,

I wasn't helping him escape.

I just didn't want him

to be caught by the City Guards and die.

How many things have you kept from me?

It's true.

He always tried to have a hold over me.

Han Shiyi,

looks like

you can't escape this time.

Lord Xue risked leaving this letter.

This matter must be made clear.

His loyalty mustn't be wasted.

Tang Qian will deal with things in Qingzhou.

We'll go back to the capital tomorrow.

Yes, Your Highness.

What should I do

so that you'll believe

that I didn't do all these things to co-opt you

but because I like you?

Dad,

I still failed to meet your expectations.

This time I had to choose sides.

I hope the Han family won't be in danger.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

I just remembered

that Lord Xue treated me like his niece

in the northern territory.

Thanks for treating him

and risked hiding his letter.

In Qingzhou,

I saw Lord Xue giving out

food to the people.

It was my honor to do something

for such a good officer.

I'll have no regrets even if I die.

Do you think

the Han family are

good officers?

You've protected the northern territory for generations.

You're serving the country.

Why aren't you good officers?

With what you said,

my father and I will die without regrets.

Didn't the Fifth Prince know

you were a lady before?

I'm sorry.

You seemed to be close

to each other in the prison.

I thought...

I didn't know you were making use of one another.

Certainly,

the royal family are always heartless.

You shouldn't make it so obvious

that you're dissatisfied with the royal family.

You need to be careful.

Many things were predestined.

None of us

can change things decided by fate.

Shiyi,

come here.

Your Highness.

Han Yuanniang,

where's Han Shiyi?

My brother was killed

when he was six.

And you've known Xue Jia since you were a kid?

When Lord Xue was in the northern territory,

he had contacts with several families.

It's normal for the kids to know each other.

Does he know you're a lady?

No.

Besides my dad and mom,

only the two maids of mine know.

I hear you were engaged to Shen Chengjun.

That's true when I was little.

Later I had to be "killed"

and the engagement was broken off.

If one day you can be a lady,

will this engagement be mentioned again?

Impossible.

How could I be a lady?

I'm destined

to be the heir of the Han family.

I'll be the commander of the Han Army.

Even when I get married,

I'll marry a lady from a humble family

instead of an influential one.

My wife that I haven't married

is the second daughter of the Councilor of the Ministry of Rites.

You've seen her.

Your family want you

to marry a woman,

adopt a child

and be a man all your life.

Exactly.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Even if this is revealed one day,

we'll be ready to deal with it.

You won't be involved.

I'm not afraid of being involved.

On the contrary, I'm glad

to know that you're a lady.

What do you mean,

Your Highness?

Shiyi,

don't pretend not to know, okay?

The whole capital has known how I feel about you.
