Twisted Fate of Love

Episode 17

Be careful.

Wenxing Restaurant

Gosh, you’re heavy!

More drinks!

Can’t you stand up and walk?

Wenxing Restaurant

Xiaosi, did I hear a complaint?

When you were little,

I carried you everywhere.

When was that?

What are you talking about?

Back then,

you were naughty.

You almost drowned once.

Thankfully,

I grabbed water plants by the riverbank

and pulled you out.

Xiaosi.

Wenxing Restaurant

Xiaosi,

you know

how heavy you were? Xiaosi.

Open your eyes.

I’m not Xiaosi.

You are...

You’re Daole.

I know you.

You gave me

my name.

Yes.

Well...

Well...

I made you socks in return.

I don’t want socks.

No socks?

What do you want then?

Don’t know yet.

Anyway,

it can’t be something

a sister makes for her younger brother.

Wenxing Restaurant

But...

But...

You’re my younger brother.

I want to give you more

as a sister.

Can you stop treating me as your brother?

Ziyuan...

♪Years pass by♪

♪Fate is too deep to understand♪

♪Time flies during it♪

♪Repeatedly it drowns the sorrows♪

♪The moon shines around♪

♪Love cuts away anxiety♪

I love you.

And I hope you’ll love me back.

♪Hope I could sing an ode♪

♪Peaceful and everlasting♪

I want this one.

Let me see.

And that one.

Over there.

Can you give me that?

That one.

All of them are riddles.

Given your age,

you can’t even read.

Can you make out so many riddles?

How do you know I can’t?

Do you need any help?

I’m a whiz at riddles.

Mr. Whiz,

a little help here.

Which animal is it? It stands as if it sits.

It walks as if it sits. It lies as if it sits.

Oh, silly,

this is easy.

What is it, wise man?

The answer is toad.

As in “a toad wishing to eat swan’s meat”,

that ugly toad!

Here come the customers.

Entertain them as nicely as you can.

You got it.

The Gold Flower Hairpin you bought

is a love token from the owner’s husband.

It’s one and only.

I knew you bought it for your love.

Sir, what else do you have?

Take everything out for them to try on.

There’s plenty.

New arrivals came earlier.

Show them.

Martial artists like me

shouldn’t wear those accessories.

I know you’re jealous

because I gave that hairpin to Yurou.

The owner said it’s one and only.

Even if you killed him,

he didn’t have another one.

Why would I kill him?

I’m not as savage as you are.

Look, if you leave empty-handed,

the owner will feel embarrassed.

He’ll assume

you dislike his products.

Dongyue,

do I look pretty?

Yes. Yes, you are.

I’ll take them all.

Are you trying to bribe me?

It’s just a little something.

My father said not to take gifts.

Tell him Dongyue bought them for you,

and he won’t blame you.

Keep the change.

Have a nice day. Take care.

Your daughter dropped this.

The show isn’t over

and you’re leaving already?

May I ask

what else

I haven’t seen?

Look up.

It’s so pretty, Dongyue!

Thank you for watching fireworks with me.

This is my happiest birthday ever.

I had no idea

they’d be so beautiful.

I’ve never seen

such wonderful fireworks before either.

After my mother left,

no one remembered my birthday.

If you want,

I...

and Dongyue

can celebrate it with you every year.

Hey,

put me down. I can walk.

Thanks.

What time is it?

Almost nine p.m.

Isn’t Yufeng Pavilion one block away?

It’s late.

He must be back by now.

I’m going to see Prince Xinyao

before my birthday is over.

He promised to celebrate with me.

Wen Xin...

Never mind. Let her go.

If you aren’t rushing to leave,

just watch the fireworks show with me.

Who’d know the notorious villain Feng Xi

would be led by the nose

by a little girl?

I know

you have tons of ways to discipline her.

Why do I feel you’re somehow afraid of her?

Don’t you know that?

You mean I’m the reason?

Of course it’s you.

Hey,

do you know why

I could solve every riddle?

Because

you’re smarter than others?

I’ll let you in on a secret.

I created

most of the riddles in Dayin.

You must be joking.

After my family fell, I did everything

to make a living.

Big days like the Lantern Festival

were my lucky days to make a killing.

I sold lanterns,

told fortunes,

but writing riddles

was most lucrative.

I’m sorry.

You asked me

why I did nothing

to that little girl.

Because just like me,

she lost her mother at a young age.

That day,

I locked her in the hovel by accident.

That was my mistake.

Anyway,

I owe her.

I wouldn’t blame her

for calling me an ugly toad.

Thank you.

I did what I should on Wen Xin’s birthday.

Hey,

stop thanking me.

We aren’t strangers.

Truth is, today isn’t only her birthday,

but also mine.

Since my parents passed away,

I haven’t had so much fun for a while.

Why didn’t you say anything earlier?

How could I possibly

get you gifts at this hour?

I’m not a kid.

I don’t need anything.

I have an idea.

Those fireworks

represent how I feel for you.

From now on, every year on this day,

let’s come here together

to watch fireworks and solve riddles.

I was deeply troubled

the last time I came to watch fireworks.

Who’d know things turned out like this?

Aren’t you happy with

what you have right now?

Princess of Haoshan Murong Yi

My respects to you, Your Majesty.

All rise.

What’s the name of your troupe?

Jiaman.

Jiaman?

That’s an unusual name.

Does it stand for anything?

Your Majesty,

“Jiaman” in Haoshan refers to

Deputy General of Haoshan Luo Chun pretty yet fierce women.

And you are?

Luo Chun, a commoner and handyman.

Miss Murong is kind enough

to let me stay

without singing or dancing.

Miss Murong,

I can’t wait to see your performance.

Excellent!

Long before I came,

I’ve heard about the legendary female official,

Dongyue.

I have to say

your reputation is well-deserved.

I’m flattered, Miss Murong.

Dongyue,

thank Miss Murong.

Miss Murong,

I’m amazed by your dance.

It’s incredible!

I must reward you.

Too bad,

you just arrived.

I wish my concubines

could also enjoy your stunning dance.

Was that a dream?

He didn’t kiss me, did he?

Does she remember what happened last night?

If she finds out I kissed her when she was drunk,

she’ll kill me!

Whatever.

If she does remember,

I’ll tell her I love her.

Dao... Daole.

Last night...

Last night...

I was loaded, right?

Yes.

You don’t remember?

I think

I gave everyone free drinks.

I paid for it.

Nothing.

Gave them free drinks, then what?

What else do you remember?

I...

I mistook you as Xiaosi

and offered you socks.

Then...

Then...

You said no.

And...

And what?

I...

I don’t remember it.

Are you sure?

Think again.

I don’t remember the rest.

I can tell you.

No!

I...

I...

I must’ve made a fool of myself.

Don’t tell me.

No.

Enough. I...

I...

Enough about last night.

Let’s go practice.

Practice now.

Start with the big one.

Wrong. Watch and learn.

You’re good!

Try again.

Sure.

One more time.

Wrong again.

Feel it.

♪Years pass by♪

♪Fate is too deep to understand♪

♪Time flies during it♪

Stop!

What...

What...

What are you doing?

Teaching you to throw darts.

Even so,

you can teach me over there.

Men and women should keep a distance.

Aren’t I like your younger brother?

How come I’m a man to you now?

We aren’t siblings for real.

Then what are we?

♪Hope I could have a colorful dream♪

♪Silent but gentle♪

Our practice went well earlier.

Why are you suddenly so sensitive?

I... I am sensitive. Is that a problem?

You

kept taking advantage of me.

The score hasn’t been settled.

I...

Let’s call it a day.

Leave me alone,

or I... I...

I...

I...

See? I did it!

From now on,

you can teach me over there.

Wait...

You’re dexterous, Your Grace.

Such delicate embroidery

would cost several taels in my hometown.

I can make you another one

if you like.

This halter top

is for Concubine Jia’s son.

No, no, no, I dare not bother you.

My sister studied from the top embroider.

Her skill is the best.

Others would die for her work,

yet you turned her down.

I have my principle.

I don’t take advantage of others.

You two take your time.

I’ll go pick some flowers.

I heard you spoke highly

of Dongyue in court early.

Why?

As Princess of Haoshan,

are you strange to female officials?

They’re nothing new, of course.

What surprises me is

a heartthrob like you

would favor Dongyue alone.

That got me curious.

Did the encounter

satisfy your curiosity?

I overestimated her.

I’ve met countless people.

Few can truly

appreciate Dongyue’s beauty.

By that logic,

am I beautiful in your eyes?

Do you have to ask?

Ever since we met,

haven’t I given you birthday gifts every year?

Have I missed even once?

Yes, but you’ve never come yourself.

It’s been a while since we last met.

You’re more charming than before.

It’s so much better

doing business with a pretty.

Be careful with what you say.

Don’t call a man pretty.

And

don’t sugar coat your words.

You charge a high fee

in business.

Friendship and business

are separate.

As far as I know,

your weapons have yet to be

shipped outside the city.

They’ve become hot potatoes.

A markup of 10 percent is only a small price to pay.

You’re greedy!

Is Princess of Haoshan

in dire need of money?

Haoshan

has become history,

let alone my title.

Alright. Fine.

Get the weapons out soon.

Marquis Dingyuan is still waiting.

Or how can I pay you the extra fee?

Deal.

But

I want a handmade handkerchief

from Noble Consort.

You never take a loss, do you?

That brat!

I regard him as my brother

yet he has ill intentions on me.

Modesty and Brilliance

Where is he?

Was I too harsh on him yesterday

and he got too scared

to come?

How’s your practice?

What’s wrong with you?

Your smile is weird.

I have something for you.

What is it?

Do you like these flowers?

They’re from Qishan.

Smell them. They’re nice.

I’m leaving.

I’m allergic to them.

Don’t girls love flowers?

Dongyue.

That’s a nice garland.

Can I wear it?

It’s a gift from others.

Take it if you like.

I don’t need it.

Who gave it to you?

We had a dance troupe in the palace.

Their leader gave it to me.

They say it’s only for an honored guest.

Isn’t it beautiful?

It is.

You have those flowers, too?

So do you?

I thought

they came from the border.

What?

Daole gave me some.

He said they’re from Qishan.

Goodness, I can’t stand this smell.

I’m leaving.

Qishan?

Wen Xin, you like this kind of flowers, don’t you?

Let’s go get some more.

Good idea. Let’s go now.

-Let’s go. -Let’s go.

Aren’t you going to pick flowers?

Look over there.

Oh, yes.

Daole’s trip

was granted by Feng Xi.

Murong Yi went to Qishan

and so did Daole.

It can’t be a coincidence.

Wen Xin.

Dongyue.

Look, it’s pretty.

Smells good.

The terrain is the highest in this area

without fear of water accumulation.

The window on the roof

enables ventilation.

The river goes around it.

No footprints of animals.

It is a perfect arsenal.

Your Highness.

We’ve been following

Feng Xi and his man Daole

and found that

they visited Qishan frequently.

Qishan?

That’s a natural vault.

Canvass the area in secret.

Locate the weapons Feng Xi stored there.

Yes.

Feng’s Mansion

Any progress on those weapons?

It’s been confirmed

that Minister of War, Yin Shi,

is colluding with Lu Yuantong’s men.

Maybe Feng Xi has nothing to do with those weapons.

It’s the Ministry of War that did it behind the scene.

Feng Xi,

or Yin Shi,

whoever is the mastermind,

Lu Yuantong

has prepared to rebel for long.

If those weapons fall into his hands,

Dingyuan Rebellion will break out

sooner than you anticipated.

By the way, where’s Feng Xi?

Since Jiaman Troupe arrived,

the Ministry of Rites has been busy

with preparations and reception.

In that case,

you won’t have time for Wen Xin.

I guess

she’ll feel lonely for a while.

You think she’ll let me go?

We went on an outing just yesterday.

Did you have fun?

On our way back,

I spotted an inkstone that you could use.

Do you like it?

Thank you.

Chi Jinhai.

Your men have been watching the Third Prince and Feng Xi.

What have you found?

Feng Xi is cunning

as usual.

As for the Third Prince,

he’s still looking for weapons

the Ministry of War lost

and he might’ve discovered some leads.

This time, Feng Xi

is against a strong rival.

I thought that was already in the past.

Why wouldn’t the Third Prince let it go?

You don’t know him.

He’s quite stubborn.

As gentle as he seems,

he’s relentless actually.

Lately, information came out of nowhere

about the lost weapons.

It’d probably end up like last time.

At the end of the day,

who started the whole thing

would only be hoist by his own petard.

Sorry, Your Excellency,

I didn’t mean you.

That’s alright.

Let the Third Prince continue his investigation.

Maybe

there’s a chance for us

to benefit from it.

Taiji Hall Zhaoyang Hall

A word, please, the Third Prince.

It’s been warm and sunny outside

but I sense an upcoming storm

between you and Minister Feng.

Feel free to speak your mind, Your Excellency.

You’re my disciple.

I hate to see you

being used again.

Thank you for your concern.

Even a fool may succeed one day.

This time, without solid proof,

I won’t take any action

or drag you into it.

That’s so thoughtful of you.

I’m simply concerned.

Feng Xi is full of schemes.

If you

get hold of new leads,

I suggest you discuss them with me

before making any decisions.

Feng Xi’s people have been seen

around Qishan repeatedly.

I think the lost arms

are in a secret location there.

Can you prove it?

My men are searching that area as we speak.

I’m sure

my effort won’t be in vain.

I wonder if you’d like to help me.

Whatever you need,

just let me know.

Your Excellency,

has His Highness

tracked down the weapons Feng Xi hid in Qishan?

Qishan is a trap.

Whoever falls into it

will lure the mastermind out.

Feng Xi is crafty.

It’s hard to

get anything on him.

Things have changed.

He’s having a weak spot.

This time, I’ll make him cough up

where the weapons are.

Prime Minister’s Mansion

Greetings, Your Highness.

This way, please.

Your Excellency,

our investigation shows

these are the possible locations of the weapons.

Feng Xi,

bad news! Dongyue is missing.

You must find her!

Calm down.

Tell me what happened.

We were playing hide-and-seek.

She was the hider and I was the seeker.

But she disappeared when I looked back.

I searched for a while but found nothing

except for an earring on the ground.

Did you check with Prince Xinyao?

What did he say?

I tried,

but he hasn’t come back from the court.

Xi.

Someone knocked at the door.

I answered it but only found this.

That’s Dongyue’s earring.

She was wearing it just now.

“Weapons

for Dongyue’s life”.
