[The Blooms at RUYI Pavilion]

[Episode 20]

[Quiet and Peaceful]

You may go.

Okay.

Young Master,

the assassination failed.

Should we still proceed?

Yes.

I don't want Nong Nong to stay there any longer.

Understood.

Miss Rong.

You should change the title.

Oh, right.

Madam,

come and eat some.

We almost finished everything.

Are we out of line?

The rules are set by people.

There's no one here.

Rules are not needed.

Madam has always been like this.

Yuan.

Tell me what happened that day.

That day

at Ruyi Pavilion...

Don't move, come with us.

Madam.

Don't hurt them.

-I'll go with you. -Move.

-Madam! -Madam!

Lan Xiang, Yuan.

Don't move.

Go.

Go.

Assassins!

Duke Su!

[She's still alive?]

Duke An, what are you doing?

I missed.

-Xu Jia. -Yes.

Madam.

Are you two okay?

Yes.

Nong Nong.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Duke Su.

Duke Su.

You're hurt.

Xu Jin.

Who did you offend?

They tried to assassinate you on such a day.

You need to investigate it.

You're hurt badly.

Let's go treat your wound.

[Duke Su's Residence]

That Fu Rong is so bad.

Duke Su is hurt.

But what did she do?

She tried to seduce Duke An.

Your Highness.

Where are you going?

I'm bringing water to His Highness.

You're Qiu...

Your Highness,

I'm Qiu Nan

Give it to me, I'll bring it there,

I don't think that's a good idea.

His Highness was injured by the assassins.

He must be in a bad mood.

Just let Her Highness send it.

Also, this matter can't be hidden.

Consort Shu will be worried for sure.

Ms Qiu Nan,

If you know or see something,

you must remember to tell Her Highness at once.

-Don't let Consort Shu worry. -That's right.

Qiu Nan, do you understand?

Understood.

Okay, you may go back.

Yes.

I didn't do well.

I failed to capture Ms Fu.

What about the token of Ruyi Pavilion?

I've checked the dowry.

It's not there.

Wen Xing.

Don't make mistakes again.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Don't worry, Nong Nong.

I'll definitely save you.

[Nong Nong, over there.]

-[Get more.] -[Okay.]

[Little girl.]

[Did you see anyone walking past just now?]

[No.]

[Little girl.]

[I ask you one more time.]

[Did you see a little boy walking past here just now?]

[I...]

[Zhu'er, don't talk to him.]

[My father said]

[this kind of people are human traffickers.]

[What are you doing?]

[You brat.]

[The bad guys are gone.]

[Don't cry.]

[You're safe now.]

[I think he was frightened]

[He's just spooked.]

[Look at me.]

[Eat the dates.]

[I'm Nong Nong.]

[What's your name?]

[Don't cry.]

[I can give you more dates, okay?]

-Duchess. -Duchess.

My lady.

You must be very worried.

How's his injury?

His hand was injured in Hu Residence before.

It's not fully recovered.

Now, there are new injuries.

He'll need some time to rest.

How about his chest?

-Chest... -Xu Jia.

Send her back to her room to rest.

-Then... -I'll sleep here tonight.

Yes.

Go on.

Duchess.

This way, please.

Sir, everything is done according to your instructions.

Sir.

It's all my fault

I shouldn't have agreed to let Nong Nong marry Xu Jin

But it has nothing to do with you

-It's... -So what?

When I agreed to it,

I had a hope.

I hoped she could stay by Xu Jin's side and help me kill him.

Then no one can stop me from being with Nong Nong.

Since I failed to get her back today.

I can try again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow

In short.

I must let Nong Nong come back to me.

And regarding Ruyi Pavilion's token...

Since it's not with Nong Nong,

investigate the others from Ruyi Pavilion.

Go find it now.

Understood.

[Guang Yang Palace]

Jin'er, stand up.

Thank you, Father.

How's your injury?

Father.

I'm okay.

Roll up your sleeves.

Let us take a look.

What's wrong?

You dare not let us see it?

Are you hurt badly?

You're badly injured.

Why did you say you're fine?

Mother,

it's just superficial injury

Did you find anything

about yesterday's assassination?

Father.

It's still under investigation.

Concubine Rong,

you may stand.

The weather today is nice.

Accompany me to the garden for a stroll.

Yes.

Do you remember this set of jewellery that I'm wearing?

Sunny Bright.

Yes.

A good jewellery with a good name.

Since you presented it to me,

I like it very much.

I often wear it.

It gave me a good impression

towards you

and Ruyi Pavilion.

Thank you, Mother.

I thought of you as a jeweller apprentice.

I never thought

you to be Jin'er's concubine.

I should've expected it.

Why would my brother

suddenly take great pains for Ruyi Pavilion.

You misunderstood me.

Back then, I did know His Highness.

But we were just acquaintances.

His Highness had helped me because of you.

His Highness and I have never crossed the line too.

Don't worry.

I won't make things difficult for you.

Jin'er is an introvert

but he's affectionate.

I only hope you would understand

his affection for you.

Yes.

Since childhood, Jin'er

has been doing everything alone.

Now with you by his side,

he has someone to depend on and accompany him.

Whenever I think of this,

I feel gratified,

I hope you can help him manage the house

and save him from worry,

As for the remaining,

I don't care at all,

I understand,

Is your injury serious or not?

Thank you for your concern.

It's really just superficial injuries.

I summoned you back to the capital

to help me purge corruption among the officials.

Now, you've married Fu Rong.

It's time to focus.

You're right.

General Situ of Huxiao Camp is very old.

It's time for him to retire.

I want to select a brave general

to reorganize Huxiao Camp.

Do you have a suitable candidate?

I want to hold a martial arts competition.

Let highly-skilled soldiers compete with one another.

The final winner will be the general.

Father.

Imperial hunt is about to start.

Why not

we organize the martial arts competition on imperial hunting day

Kill two birds with one stone.

It's not a bad idea.

As for the person in charge of the competition...

Let Duke An do it.

If you have any talented soldiers,

you can let them participate too.

It'll be useful for me in the future.

Yes.

You just got married

and is still injured.

Just rest at home.

When you recover,

I have important task for you.

Thank you for your concern.

I'll listen to your advice.

What did mother tell you?

Nothing.

It's just some intimate conversations.

No need to worry.

Mother is kind-hearted.

I don't think she'll make things difficult for you.

If you feel uncomfortable,

just let me know.

-Uncle. -Duke An.

Duke Su.

Duchess Su.

Are you here

to inform my father about the Imperial Guards?

I shall not disturb you then.

Rong'er, let's go.

How about this?

Just follow the old rules.

I like a straightforward person like you.

Thank you.

Little Marquis.

It seems that Mr Qi is more generous.

Little Marquis.

Why are you here today?

I remember after the first time

we signed the documents,

I never saw you again.

Mr Zhang.

I should've met you, a regular client of Feng Lai Yi, sooner.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

You're a corporal now.

You're busy.

Mr Zhang.

I didn't bring my stamp today.

How about this? I'll go to Yongzou Music tomorrow

to sign the paperwork, okay?

Of course.

I'll leave now.

Mr Ji, Little Marquis.

See you tomorrow.

-Take care. Goodbye. -I won't send you off.

Little Marquis.

I really didn't want to betray you.

It's Consort Duan.

Consort Duan keeps forcing me.

How dare you slander Consort Duan?

You're really dauntless.

I dare not do that.

Think about it.

Besides your stamp,

whose stamp can convince people to sign a deal with us?

Whose?

Little Marquis, I had no choice.

Consort Duan asked for too much money.

[Consort Duan]

I can't please both sides.

Call me greedy,

but I dared not do it even if you killed me.

The weather is hot these few days.

I asked Yipin Vegan

to send some new products that can cool down the body.

I dislike sweet desserts.

Your Highness.

This hawthorn mixed nut cake is not sweet.

It's fresh and tasty.

There is a lot of greenery outside the room.

I don't feel hot.

That's right.

His Highness is powerful.

He's not afraid of summer heat nor winter chill.

As for me though...

You're just weak.

Your body is too heaty.

Your Highness.

How about we send this dessert to the palace?

There's only one portion.

It's too petty to send to the palace.

Besides,

the gate is closing soon.

In that case,

I'll give it to other people in the house.

What for? I want to eat.

Madam.

Mr Ge came just now.

He said that

His Highness will sleep in the study room again tonight.

Next, he said

the weather is too hot.

He's worried about your appetite.

So he sent someone to bring this

dessert.

I can't eat this.

You two eat it.

Why?

She can't eat peanuts.

If she eats it,

she'll have rashes on her face and hands.

It's quite scary.

I see.

It's a pity that His Highness prepared this specially for you.

Madam.

His Highness just doesn't know you can't eat peanuts.

He still cares about you.

You two haven't slept together since being married.

If others knew about this,

it'd be...

He's injured.

If we sleep together, I might hurt him.

There's enough space in the room.

Did you and him quarrel?

Don't blindly guess.

Okay.

Since you didn't quarrel...

Mr Ge brought us desserts.

Shouldn't we give something back

or say thank you?

Let's go buy wine.

I heard Lotus Stamen from Xianlu Wine House is quite nice.

-Okay. -Let's give His Highness a surprise.

Mr Ge said

His Highness is at the study room

because he'll go out in the early morning tomorrow.

-The time is just right. -Really?

Yuan.

Tomorrow, if someone asks why

I didn't go eat breakfast, tell them

I have heat stroke.

I want to rest.

Go get my menswear.

-Same old rules. -Yes.

Yes.

This way, please.

Ms Lan Xiang.

Who's this?

Her Highness seems to have heat stroke.

This is the physician who came to check on her this morning.

It was not you two on duty

so you might not know.

I'm going to send him off.

Also to stop by Sanjiu Apothecary Shop to buy some herbs.

You don't need to go yourself.

We can do it.

It's okay.

I've been with Her Highness for a long time.

Besides, I know the boss of Sanjiu.

I know which herbs are better.

[Xianlu Wine House]

Ma...

Young Master

What should we do?

Xianlu Wine House is always packed.

What else can we do? Just go line up.

I'll go buy some snacks for you.

Young Master.

It's not appropriate for you to go alone.

What's inappropriate?

How about we

just simply buy some wine? Let's go.

We can't.

I'll go line up.

Okay.

As long as you're happy.

Today, I told

Little Marquis about the martial arts competition.

He looks excited.

Your Highness.

Qiu Nan.

Bring these desserts to Duchess Su.

I don't think

she can eat these.

Why not?

I heard

Duchess Su got a heatstroke and is not feeling well.

She invited a physician to check on her

But I think no physician is as good as Mr Ge.

She hasn't been out of her room today.

She didn't even come out for lunch.

I think she must be very ill.

Let's go.

Your Highness.

Ms Gu.

Why are you alone in the room?

And you pilfer the cakes His Highness gave to Her Highness yesterday.

I didn't.

Her Highness rewarded it to me and Lan Xiang yesterday.

Where is she?

This...

Don't this and that.

His Highness asked you something.

Her Highness went out with Lan Xiang.

Xu Jia.

Take all the guards except those at Western Park.

Bring the duchess back.

Yes.

Ge Chuan.

This is my order.

All the guards in Western Park,

the guards on duty at the gate

and maidservants in the chamber

will be punished.

Yes.

Nong Nong.

Why are you dressed like this today?

After I got your note in the palace,

I was thinking how to get here.

This is the way.

You're Duchess Su but doesn't have the right to go out?

I'm afraid that rumours will create trouble.

Nong Nong.

After careful thoughts,

I still think you shouldn't stay by Duke Su's side,

This is too dangerous,

Leave the investigation

and revenge to me, okay?

I'll think of a way for you to leave Duke Su's Residence,

I think there must be a mistake somewhere.

His Highness is not the murderer of my master.

Why do you say so?

If he killed my master,

why didn't he kill Yuan?

Why let her serve me?

Based on his status,

there's no need for him to go alone and kill people.

I thought he was the murderer and became irrational.

But after I've calmed down and thought about it,

there are many suspicious things.

That rice worker claimed he saw His Highness.

What if it was someone else?

So I must go ask thoroughly.

[Ruyi Pavilion]

Be careful.

Wen Xing.

Kill that old man.

Yes.

You said so much.

You just

don't believe he's the murderer anymore.

Maybe.

Anyhow,

I don't want to make conclusions now.

I'm sorry, Nong Nong.

If Duke Su is really not the murderer

and I helped you marry him,

I've ruined your life.

Little Follower,

this was my own choice, it's not your fault.

Now

just take things as they come.

Nong Nong.

If Duke Su is really not the murderer,

are you going to consider

getting back to the life you want?

If you're willing to,

I'll help you.

When you saved me

you made me happy with these.

[Why did you bring Zhu'er out again?]

[It's dangerous outside.]

[What if you encounter a bad guy?]

[Father, look, I found a treasure.]

[Rong'er, this...]

[Who's this?]

[He nearly got kidnapped by human traffickers.]

[I think he's in shock.]

[Father.]

[Our family will have a boy now.]

[What nonsense are you talking about?]

[If you do this,]

[you're the same as the human trafficker.]

[Boy.]

[Who are your parents?]

[Where's your house?]

[How about this?]

[I'll send you to the magistrate first.]

[Father.]

[Please.]

[Let him be my follower, okay?]

It's different now.

I missed the old days.

Fancy that you still remember.

I dare not forget.

But what happened to you?

Who were the people chasing you?

It is a past event of the palace.

It's not worth mentioning.

I won't ask if you don't want to tell.

It's quite late.

I'll go back now.

Let's meet again next time.

Nong Nong.

Be careful on your way back.

When you've given it a thought

and want to leave Duke Su's Residence

I'll help you at all costs.

Thank you, Little Follower.

But I want to

investigate this matter myself.

Okay.

Nong Nong.

I'm afraid you'll never know

the truth of this matter.

What's this?

His Highness knows that you and Lan Xiang went out without permission.

He's furious.

What has it got to do with them?

It's so hot, get up now.

You heard her.

Duchess Su asked you to get up Why aren't you up?

I neglected my job.

I'm willing to be punished.

This...

It's me who did wrong.

I'll receive punishment.

Your Highness.

I know I was wrong, just punish me.

What's your wrong?

I should abide by my duty as your wife.

I should stay at home

not disguise as a man

and go out.

It'd be really shameful

if someone recognised me.

You think I'm angry because of this?

Isn't it?

It seems you still don't know what you did wrong.

Why can't His Highness be straightforward?

Just tell Her Highness that

he's angry

because he's worried they'll be in danger.

Yeah.

He's looking for a fight.

No matter what,

I was wrong today.

Please calm down.

Let those people get up first.

Fu Rong.

I know you didn't want to marry me.

But you're my wife now.

I want you to remember

that every wrong you make

will implicate others.

I know.

Get up, all of you.

Get up.

Get up.

Your Highness.

Her Highness didn't go out for no reason today

Your Highness sent hawthorn mixed nut cake yesterday.

So madam wanted to get a gift as thanks

and give you a surprise.

This is Lotus Stamen from Xianlu House Wine.

Her Highness personally lined up to buy it for you.

It's so hot.

-It wasn't easy. -Lan Xiang.

Come in now.

You're asking to be punished.

Yes, madam.

Madam.

I heard from Mr Ge just now.

His Highness thought you liked yesterday's dessert

so he went to Yipin Vegan to buy it for you personally.

He heard you were sick

and came to find you

but you were not here.

Madam, it's my fault.

Not only did I fail to cover your leaving,

but when His Highness came,

I was eating cake.

No wonder.

Did you tell His Highness

that madam can't eat peanuts?

He was too angry.

He said he wanted to punish everyone in the house

so I dared not speak at all.

Madam.

You should tell His Highness

that you can't eat peanuts.

His Highness looked for you the whole afternoon.

But you lost your temper the moment you returned.

You're too...

Madam.

Concubine Rong.

Perfect timing. Inform His Highness that I want to see him.

But His Highness and Mr Ge

seem to be discussing something important.

He specifically asked not to be disturbed.

Something important?

Please don't get angry.

His Highness is a prince.

There must be a first lady in the house.

They're talking about finding a first lady?

Okay, I got it.

I won't disturb them.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Since you have this plan,

why not

you tell Her Highness?

Lest she knows nothing

and misunderstood your hard work in the future.

That's right.

Your Highness.

If you still won't sleep in the room

rumours may find their way to the palace sooner or later.

You're asking for more trouble.

[What's wrong with her?]

[Why is she in a bad mood suddenly?]

[She's not usually like this.]

[Did something happen?]

Your Highness.

I'll leave now.

Why did you come here to sleep suddenly?

We're husband and wife.

It's normal

to sleep here

You're right.

I did a bad job as your concubine.

I hurt you on the wedding night.

I can't serve you in the days after.

Today, I disguised as a man and sneaked out.

Fu Rong.

I'm not asking you to follow the rules in the house.

It's just that you sneaking out...

What if something bad happened?

I was also thinking

if I hadn't sneaked out back then,

would I never have met you?

Maybe

our meeting was wrong to begin with.

What are you trying to say?

You think so too, right?

I can't be a good concubine.

Now in this house,

I'm just an extra mouth to feed.

Just an additional person to make you unhappy.

It's meaningless.

Instead of this,

why don't we separate?

Fu Rong.

Do you know what are you talking about?

I said let's get separated.
