Marry Me

Episode 19

Mu'er, Mu'er!

After your massage,

my back doesn't hurt.

But you kicked me here.

I am feeling slightly...

You....

You are disgusting.

No, I am not.

Don't get angry.

How about this?

As long as you aren't angry,

I'll do anything for you.

All right.

You made a promise.

Take me into the palace.

What?

I...

I wasn't serious.

If you want to get into the palace,

I won't stop you.

However,

I will send you back myself,

and meet the Emperor with you.

That way, people won't talk behind us.

Shangyang Gate

This time,

I want to reward the three of you.

Not only is the capital safe,

Long Yue's preparation for the birthday...

is also in order.

He should be rewarded.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

It is mine and my brothers' duty to do so,

we dare not take credit.

Long Yue entered the palace uninvited,

and asked your permission to take Mu'er away.

He was very rude.

Your Majesty is forgiving.

On behalf of Long Yue,

I thank you for not punishing him.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

It's normal for Long Yue to miss his wife.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

All right,

I have other matters to attend to.

Tell Long Yue not to worry.

Empress Dowager's birthday banquet...

must be arranged nicely.

We will do our best for the birthday banquet.

Good day, Your Majesty.

They are gone.

Come out.

You have seen it all.

Last time,

I played a prank on you.

His Majesty is young and good-looking.

The person you've met before was not His Majesty.

I see.

Now,

you can join the harem without worry.

Whether I join the harem or not...

is none of your concern.

Why did you lie to me?

I...

I was only joking with you.

I almost spoiled your plan.

It's my mistake.

I hope you...

can forgive me.

You really don't have any other reason?

I...

don't have other intentions.

All right.

I made a mistake.

I was merely trying to set things straight with her.

Why do I feel upset?

Shu Residence

I'm not eating. Take it away.

You are finally back. I was worried.

Where did you go?

I went to the palace...

and met the Emperor.

What?

You went to see the Emperor in those clothes?

Young Lady Ruo Chen,

what really happened?

You were fine when you went out.

You look upset when you came back.

Young Lady.

What are you looking for?

I'll find it for you.

Your clothes are torn,

I'll fix it later.

Sewing is not for men.

Let me do it.

Young Lady Ruo Chen.

Are you all right?

Young Lady Ruo Chen,

what's the matter?

Su Qing.

I love him.

What should I do?

Young Lady Ruo Chen,

don't cry.

Don't cry.

Young Lady Ruo Chen.

Long Yue, you must watch your action.

But we are outside the palace.

You are without a doubt my wife.

However,

beyond this palace wall,

I won't be able to protect you.

So, you must be careful.

Don't worry.

Although I am new to the palace,

I am capable of protecting myself.

Don't try to be brave.

I'll come here...

everyday...

to take you home.

Don't stay in the palace.

You must promise me this if you want to go in.

Don't push your luck, Long Yue.

Do you want to enter the palace?

Yes, I want.

All right,

you may go in.

I'm going in.

Zhao Li Palace

Your Highness.

I left the palace while serving my sentence.

Please punish me.

Stand up.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Punish you?

I should reward you instead.

I dare not take the credit.

I'm grateful for your tutelage.

These days,

my qin skills have improved a lot.

Today,

His Majesty praised me because I could play the qin very well.

Of course, you should take credit.

Your Highness is talented,

and you practise hard.

You did it on your own.

You must accept the credit.

You have taught me well. I must give you a hefty reward.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Long Teng, there you are.

What's the matter?

It's a long story.

The person is inside.

Go in and you'll know.

Please help me, Lord Long.

Did something happen to Ruo Chen?

She went out yesterday,

and came home looking very sad.

She held your clothes and said nothing.

She sent out all the servants.

When I brought her dinner,

she wasn't in her room.

She left your clothes...

and a note.

She said to return this to you.

Have you checked...

her usual hangouts?

I have checked, but nobody saw her.

If her father finds out she's not in,

we're done for.

Long Teng,

Shu Ruo Chen has been chosen as concubine.

If others learn about this,

I'm afraid...

Long Teng.

It is so hard for us to meet, and harder still to part.

Whitey,

if we hadn't met...

back then,

I wouldn't have...

all these worries now.

Under the circumstances,

what should I do?

Why didn't you inform Su Qing when you went out?

If they can't find you,

all the servants will be punished because of you.

I came out for some fresh air.

You don't have to worry about me.

What's it with you?

Haven't I cleared up...

all your doubts?

If you have other problems,

I'll do my best to help you solve them.

Why are you upset?

I'm upset?

I don't have the right to feel upset.

The Shu family raised me...

because they wanted to use me.

I am only a chess piece for the Shu Family.

Has anyone asked me...

what I really want?

The concubines have been chosen,

but I don't want to move into the palace.

Whether His Majesty is old or ugly...

or good-looking has nothing to do with me.

Long Teng,

you can't solve...

my problem.

Perhaps,

when you see His Majesty,

you'll change your mind?

Perhaps...

you don't even know...

what you really want for yourself?

But I do.

I know what I want.

I am very clear that I don't love the Emperor.

It's you.

It's you who doesn't know.

You don't know how much I wish to see you every time I go out.

You don't know...

how happy I am to follow you around.

You have no idea.

You don't know how sad I was when I found out...

you'll be the one sending me to the palace.

Have you any idea how ridiculous you sound?

I'm not being ridiculous.

I know I love you.

You said no matter what happens,

you'd do your best to help me.

Why?

Why are you avoiding the fact that I love you?

Ruo Chen, calm down.

Do you know...

what the consequences would be...

if someone were to hear...

what you've just said?

I don't care, Long Teng.

I don't care at all.

Are you willing to give up everything and run away with me?

Wherever it is,

as long as you are around,

I am not scared.

I am sorry.

I can't do it.

Ruo Chen!

The colour of your dress is pretty.

You look pretty, too.

Thank you, Sister.

Greetings, Sister.

I trust you're having a good day.

Greetings, Your Highness.

You may sit down.

Is she the qin master from outside the palace?

I heard she is the only student of the late virtuoso,

Shi Bo Yin.

Consort Li,

you look happy today.

Yesterday, I heard His Majesty said...

you can play the qin very well.

Can you play something for us today,

so that we can enjoy your music?

Flowers are blooming in the royal garden.

Some music will cheer up the mood.

Servants.

Bring the Liuli Qin gifted by the Empress Dowager.

Yes.

Your wish is my command.

Ruo Chen.

Ruo Chen.

Wake up.

Wake up.

Quick.

Are you all right?

Why did you rescue me?

I don't want to go to the palace.

-Why did you rescue me? -Ruo Chen.

Why?

I would rather die by myself...

than you hurting yourself.

Don't be stupid.

You still have me.

Consort Li,

you may begin.

What's this?

You can't even play a tune.

Consort Li,

how can you even perform for the Emperor?

I...

Consort Li,

looks like your qin teacher...

does not live up to her reputation.

Too bad your qin skills are not up to scratch.

We'll have to go without music today.

It takes talent to play the qin well.

It's not easy for Consort Li to make a sound on the qin.

I am afraid that's all she can do.

Ju Mu'er, what happened actually?

It's my fault,

I didn't tune the qin before Her Highness performed.

It is my fault.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

Can you give me another chance?

Come here quickly.

Your Highness, someone sabotaged the qin.

I heard you are a student of Shi Bo Yin.

You must have excellent skill.

Care to tell us what happened?

Consort Li has no knowledge of the qin.

It must be your fault...

for letting her play for the Emperor without guidance.

This qin was gifted by the Empress Dowager herself.

You've dishonoured the instrument...

and disrespected the Empress Dowager.

Do you admit your crime?

Ms Ju,

if you admit your crime,

I will go easy on you...

for Consort Li's sake.

You'll get sixty floggings...

instead of a death sentence.

Sixty floggings is equivalent to death.

Your Highness.

Your Highness,

just now,

Consort Li made a mistake due to nervousness.

It is also my mistake.

However,

you are all here to listen to the qin.

Perhaps I can redeem myself...

by playing a song for all of you?

Quick, bring your qin here.

Why go through such trouble?

This Liuli Qin was a gift from the Empress Dowager.

Consort Li,

are you not happy with the qin?

No, Your Highness.

Ms Ju,

whenever you're ready.

Ms Ju.

Good.

Good music.

This song was written when the late Emperor went to war.

It's called The Song of Embattle.

It was originally written for drums.

I didn't know...

the song could be played on the qin...

with such vigor and grandiosity.

You have played it very differently.

I think,

compared to the Master Musician Hua Yi Bai,

both of you are on par.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Please forgive me...

if I had made any mistakes.

Shangyang Gate

After you.

-My lord. -Long Yue.

Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Long Yue. -Goodbye, Lord Liu.

It's almost evening.

Why are you here?

I am here to fetch my wife.

You and Mrs Long are an admirable pair.

You love each other dearly and are inseparable.

I shall get going.

Don't you think you are overdoing it?

You have never held a girl's hand.

You're not fit to criticise me.

You should learn from me.

Learn what?

Learn...

how to win a girl's heart.

Wouldn't it be great if Yun Qing Xian were here to see this?

To see how deeply...

my wife and I love each other.

You've succeeded in marrying her.

Why should you worry about Yun Qing Xian?

I am the best merchant in the capital.

I'm always right about people.

Yun Qing Xian...

is not a good man.

He must be thinking about Mu'er.

Young Master Yue,

Mrs Long doesn't look right.

Mu'er.

Li Ke,

go get the doctor.

Long Residence

Young Master Yue.

-Young Master Yue. -Young Master.

-This is... -This is...

You should send me back to the wine house.

You rest at home.

Don't run around.

I shouldn't allow you to do as you wish.

I didn't.

I had no choice today.

I had to use Master Shi Bo Yin's forbidden technique.

Can you tell me the truth now?

How did this happen?

I used my inner strength...

to correct the off-notes...

and completed the performance.

But my life energy is weak.

If I force myself to play anymore,

I'll hurt myself.

Serves you right for being stubborn.

Did you get yourself...

into trouble by doing this?

The moment I became Consort Li's teacher,

I am already in hot water.

Don't you worry.

The Long family is kind to me.

I won't implicate you.

-I... -Young Master Yue,

the doctor is here.

Doctor, my wife is sick.

Please take a look at her,

especially her brain.

Yes.

-If you may. -All right.

Hai Gui had an accident and died while being escorted?

I received the notice from the prefecture office.

It said the house had collapsed due to continuous heavy rain.

Hai Gui and two of the prefecture escorts...

were passing by when they encountered the disaster...

and got buried alive.

Looks like god doesn't want to forgive him.

Let it be.

It's good that he's dead.

He can no longer create problems.

If it were as simple as that,

Long Teng wouldn't have summoned us.

Feng Wu is right.

I've asked you to come here today...

Self-restraint

to discuss something important.

Since we are family, I'll get straight to the point.

I need your help...

to go to the prefecture office.

I'll need some incentives.

This is a difficult task.

I have a lot to lose.

I am not going.

I am your elder brother.

You dare to ask for reward?

Where did you learn to be so shrewd?

From Long Yue, of course.

He said,

family is family,

business is business.

Self-restraint

Besides, Long Teng,

you have so many people working under you.

You can send a Wujin Imperial Guard to carry out your orders.

Long Teng,

I may not have parents to take care of, but I have a son.

Xiao Bao is still young.

He can't be without his parents.

So, Long Teng,

get someone else to do it.

I can't depend on you to help me.

I'll have to depend on you, Feng Wu.

I'm sorry, Long Teng.

I'll follow my husband's decision.

To tell you the truth,

the Empress Dowager's birthday is nigh.

Self-restraint

There will be many guests.

I must keep the capital safe.

Wujin Imperial Guards are all on duty.

I have no one else to turn to.

Hai Gui died a sudden death.

His death involved two innocent prefecture officers.

This is a serious matter.

I think it's not as simple as it appears.

I need someone I can trust to help me investigate.

If it's purely an accident,

fine.

But if there's foul play, keep it low profile.

No matter how I look at it,

both of you are the best candidates.

As the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance,

can you help to uphold justice?

Since you put it that way,

as the leader,

I can't stand idle while the culprit runs free.

Long Teng,

I'll do it.

Perhaps I caught a cold when I woke up last night.

I am fine.

Why? What are you looking at?

I think there's a woman hidden in Long Teng's room.

That's impossible.

If Long Teng has a woman,

then can pigs fly.

But I heard it clearly.

You must be mistaken.

Let's get Xiao Bao settled at home first...

before we investigate the case.

They are gone. You can come out.

I almost gave myself away.

It's getting cold outside.

You fell into the water.

You might get a cold.

You need to see a doctor quickly.

Have some hot water first.

I am fine.

How long do you intend to hide in the Bureau?

I don't intend to hide.

You rescued me from the water.

It means you care about me.

When I was told you take me with you,

I wasn't kidding.

It's just that...

I'm not sure...

what you think of it?

I'm the High Commander of Wujin Imperial Guards...

and the eldest son of the Long family.

Officially,

I must protect the country.

Personally,

I must protect my family.

I need to attend to a lot of things.

I can't just get up and leave.

I know.

I am waiting for your answer.

I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes.

After the Empress Dowager's birthday,

after you're done with things here,

we'll go to the frontier.

There are sheep and horses,

and all the freedom we could want.

Long Teng.

Come in.

Long Teng,

Lord Shu has arrived.

My father?

Why is he here?

I asked your father to come.

Thank you, Lord Long.

My daughter is naughty.

She ran away from home because I didn't discipline her well.

Not at all, Lord Shu.

Come here.

Father.

How dare you?

You're supposed to join the harem.

How dare you ran away?

The whole family is in disarray because of your disappearance.

This is ridiculous.

Maybe Ms Shu was bored and decided to take a walk.

What matters is she's back safe and sound.

The concubines have been chosen.

Ms Shu must feel reluctant to part with her family.

Please don't blame her, Lord Shu.

I am curious.

When she went missing,

the people of Kun Palace searched the entire capital,

but couldn't find her.

Where did you see her?

I was taking a walk in the bamboo forest, Father.

I bumped into Lord Long accidentally.

I am talking to Lord Long. Do not interrupt.

It was as Ms Shu described.

The Wujin Imperial Guards checked all the roads leading into and out of the capital.

They saw Ms Shu walking alone.

Fearing for her safety,

they sent her back to the Bureau.

I thank you on my daughter's behalf, Lord Long.

Goodbye.
