Episode Eleven

Is the food for us ready?

The guards of Yue,

Why do you come here in person today?

Where are your servants?

Half of the male servants were sent to the Red Hills Court

to help clean up the dirt in the lake and move things.

They are short of servants.

I wonder

whether they can find

the hair clasp I lost

in the lake.

Jin Si,

compare to the entire lake,

your hair clasp is way too small

to be discovered.

You better just focus on your job.

Don’t think about it.

At least there is still hope, right?

You spend your whole day in the kitchen,

cooking and doing chores,

how can you possibly know what is going on outside?

Let me tell you,

a few years ago,

they evev found

the skill flowers lost by Concubine Sun

of the second branch two months ago.

Really?

(Sound of the pot falling)

(Sound of woman falling into the water)

This is the wooden beads

given by my late mother.

Sixth Sister, what should we do?

After the Cold Food Festival,

Yuwen Huai is going to clean up the dirt in the lake.

They will definitely discover

Miss Song’s corpse.

If they chase it back to us,

the three of us will be dead.

That’s why we are escaping tonight.

Escaping?

Yuwen Yue will go out to appreciate the lanterns.

Use your entry cards to get out

and wait for me in the steward in the northern gate of the city.

Are you coming with us?

I will be there in a moment.

What if

you can’t leave back then?

Don’t worry. I have a way.

There is some food in the bag,

and some money.

After Yuwen Yue goes out tonight,

I will steal the stamp,

and get the statement of freedom.

Then I will go to find you.

If I am not here

by 1 a.m.,

you don’t need to wait for me anymore.

No.

We won’t leave the steward until you come.

If you don’t show up,

we will come back and find you.

No.

Remember.

If anything happens,

you can’t implicate yourselves

in Miss Song’s death

in any way.

Understood?

If they find

Miss Song’s corpse,

what will you do?

That’s right.

Don’t worry.

I have my own way.

I will order additional guards

to go with you.

That’s not necessary.

This trip needs to be as simple as possible.

I don’t like the crowd.

Xing’er, you are here as well.

His Young Master had

this new clothes made for you.

Why are you giving me new clothes?

You better

dress up.

Tonight,

His Young Master is taking you to appreciate the lanterns.

Remember to act appropriate.

I will put on the new clothes

waiting for You Young Master tonight.

This clothes was

made for the lantern show

in Chang'an.

Thank you, Young Master.

Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager is unwell.

Therefore, the Emperor

cancelled the lantern show in Chang'an.

The Empress Dowager has made a full recovery.

May God bless the Empress Dowager.

Before the Cold Food Festival,

there is a birthday ceremony for the Emperor.

Someone suggested to host a lantern show

to celebrate the Emperor’s birthday.

Surprisingly, the Emperor agreed.

Xing’er, we will go there

as soon as you finish dressing up.

I have many chores to do.

Just follow His Young Master’ order.

His Young Master is going to attend the lantern show in the Street of Tortoise.

He can’t be alone without any servant.

When will we get back?

After I have enough fun.

After the lantern show,

you will be thirsty and hungry.

I will tell the kitchen staff to prepare some refreshments.

There is no need.

You don’t need to worry about this kind of things.

Hurry.

Yes, sir.

Princess, we have arrived at Chang’an.

Where are you here?

Be cautious. Don’t expose who you are.

Yes, Your Highness.

I will inform the Secret Repository

in Chang’an to wait for Your Highness.

There are many goods in Chang’an.

I’d like to ramble in the lantern show alone.

There is no need to inform the Secret Repository.

Yes, Your Highness.

Brother Yue,

I have finally arrived at Chang’an.

I am not here to visit you,

but to kill you.

We are born in this chaotic time.

Our States are opponents.

We better not meet and just each other in mind.

(Sounds of the crowd)

Come and see.

Please help yourselves.

Xiaoba,

can Sixth sister

escape safely?

My Seventh Sister,

this is not my main concern right now.

I think our Sixth Sister

probably has already found

the wooden beads.

What if

she already found out

about her antecedents?

I don’t think so.

She has never

seen the wooden beads before.

Besides…

But what if she…

Xiaoba, what do you think?

Before our parents were killed,

they left the wooden beads to Zhixiang

and they said it had something to do with the antecedents of out Sixth Sister.

I think there is

big secret inside.

So what if

she found out that we

are not her siblings,

and she decided not to

protect us anymore.

What should we do?

You are going to ride with me.

I will take you.

Young Master, it is inappropriate.

I can ride a horse myself.

You can ride?

Of course.

Find a good horse for Xing’er.

Yes, sir.

Rainbow. That’s unusual.

This is the sign from God that

someone will die.

Sign from God

is usually an excuse for people’s own decision.

An excuse?

Are you talking about

Rouran,

the one always wants to fight against the Wei State?

The Wei State has more than one enemy. Rouran is just one of them.

The spies from the Liang State are better at scheming.

The real trouble

is inside the Wei State itself.

Once the enemy outside

cooperates with

the ones inside,

the rain

will be as red as blood.

The rain of blood?

Let’s go.

You can excuse yourself now.

Thank you,

but I can do it myself.

Rainbow. That’s unusual.

I wonder which one of them

are the target.

Rainbow. That’s unusual.

Rainbow. That’s unusual.

That’s right.

Something horrible will happen in Chang’an.

What do you mean?

I am afraid

someone important will die.

Who do you think it will be?

- Who do you think it will be? - No idea.

(Sounds of the crowd)

It is going to be dark soon.

May God bless our Sixth Sister escape safely.

The wind from the north.

Is the danger coming from Yanbei?

Prince, here is the letter from the Duke.

Prince, is there any good news?

According to my father, everything is fine in Yanbei.

Last time, we fought against Rouran, the rebel.

His Majesty rewarded us.

He also said

I could stay in Chang’an and

don’t worry about anything.

Great.

I heard from the maids of the Green Hills Court that

His Young Master Yue

is going to take Xing’er to the lantern show.

You may excuse yourself now.

Yes, sir.

(Sounds of the crowd)

How beautiful.

We can get off now.

Excellent. Excellent.

I still have five hours.

Excellent. Excellent. Excellent.

Let’s go.

OK.

OK.OK.

Thank you.

OK.

Miss, take a look.

Isn’t this lanterns beautiful?

It is a rabbit-shaped.

Isn’t it adorable?

Mister,

May God bless you.

Here.

Come and take a look at these beautiful lanterns.

Come and take a look at these beautiful lanterns.

How cute.

How ignorant.

Isn’t it cute?

If it isn’t cute, why did you buy it then?

I bought it because

it looks like you.

It suits you.

Take the horses to the side.

Then we can look around later.

Let’s go.

Come and take a look at these beautiful lanterns.

Come and take a look at these beautiful lanterns.

(Making a face)

Come and take a look.

Come and take a look at these beautiful lanterns.

Come and take a look at these beautiful lanterns.

(Sounds of children)

Hold onto me

Hold onto you?

Where exactly?

My sleeve.

Where do you want to hold onto?

It is too crowded.

I don’t want you to get lost,

saving me the trouble looking for you.

Come and guess lantern riddles.

The top reward is two silver.

Come and try.

- Young Master. - The top reward is two silver.

I want to go and guess the lantern riddles.

Come and guess lantern riddles.

The mister answered correctly.

- Impressive. - Great. Great.

The top reward is two silver.

Mister, you can claim your reward now.

OK.

Is there anyone else

who would like to try?

There is prize.

Does the prize include a beautiful woman?

I will give your beautiful woman as the prize.

Just kidding.

It is not that easy to guess these riddles.

Who else?

Who else would like to try?

Mister, would you like to try?

Miss.

I have never seen

someone as beautiful as you.

This is my prize. I will give it to you.

Thank you.

Are you here by yourself?

What…

Mister,

it is the present

I gave to her.

It’s none of your business.

I… I…

I shall forgive you this time.

Move it. Move it.

Why is he leaving?

Come on.

If you want that,

I can buy it for you.

Let’s go.

Where are we going?

To buy the candy.

I don’t want that.

Come and guess lantern riddles.

I want to play this one.

Mister, which one would you like to choose?

This one.

Don’t say it too early. Don’t say it too late.

The answer is one character.

Better sooner than later.

You think you can keep the secret,

so you never tell the truth.

In that case, the consequence will be pretty bad.

I know the answer.

It is the character “Xu”.

Miss,

you are so clever.

You are absolutely right.

Many people

thought this one was easy to guess,

but they could never

find the right answer.

Good job. Good job.

Don’t say it too early. Don’t say it too late.

You should say it at noon.

It is based on the writing of the character.

No wonder the answer is that.

Yes, that’s right.

Why didn’t I realise that?

It is based on the writing of the character.

That’ right.

It may look easy,

but it is actually quite difficult.

(Laughing)

He is just saying. Don’t take it personally.

Since Miss

gave the right answer,

you can go to the pavilion on the right-hand side

and get your prize.

OK.

It is full of men.

They are all smelly.

Even if you win the top reward,

it won’t be anything good.

There is no need to claim it.

Since it is the top prize,

it represents good luck.

You Young Master please wait here.

I will go claim it.

Stop.

You wait here. I will go.

This mister is impressive.

Mister, it is very easy.

Take your time.

OK. OK.

I got it.

The answer is the character “Ning”,

The top reward is two silver.

Mister.

You are impressive.

You got it right again.

Thank you. Thanks.

Good job.

Excuse me. Miss.

The rabbit-shaped lantern you have

is quite adorable.

I would like to buy one

for my female companion.

Could you tell me where did you buy it?

Go straight and turn right at the third cross-road.

The sixth shop

at the Street of Tortoise.

It is sold there.

Miss, you have got a glib tongue.

We are not from Chang’an.

Could you please show us the way?

Sorry, but I am in a hurry.

If you like this,

you can have it.

Thank you very much.

The production of south areas

is no better than ours in Jiangnan

same as the eyes of

the master of Wind and Cloud Decree a year ago

You are talking about

The person that killed Yuwen Hao

and hurt you badly

When I saw her

she was fully covered

except for her eyes

But her eyes

were unforgettable

When I chased her till the river

I took a chance

and killed the Viper

with one strike

In the carriage

I tore apart her clothes

and saw the pattern of Equinox Flower

on her back

I know she was the daughter of Luo He

But her inner power : Kungfu of Ice

was of the highest level

Although she was deeply wounded

when she saved people from the prison

I was not able to beat her

Things after that

I do not know

But I do remember

her fierce eyes

They seems the same

Then we follow her and take a look

the answer is yes or no

Yes

Take it

Who here can be so bold

Get away

Watch out

Careful

The girl is not weak at gongfu

but cannot even compare to

the master of the decree

Then her partner came

Prince of Lord Dingbei , Yan Xun

Yan Xun

He came into our sight himself tonight

Your highness Don't worry

outside the city killing him

Your move this time

The air on the bottom is poisoned

It's dangerous to stay here for long

How could we get out

It seems lower on that direction

We can climb from here

And Yan Xun is a noble

No matter how nice he is

I can't leave my sisters alone

Yan Xun

a person that trust me so much

got trapped with poisoned air in it

If I don't help him

he will die with no doubt

How can I just stand by and watch

Only two hours left

Sir.

Excuse me,

Yeah, I know them.

and the other in blue.

Yes, that's them.

Where are they?

I heard that

they are not ordinary girls.

They are abject slaves

without the statement of freedom.

They...

were taken away

by several dandies.

Taken... taken away?

According to the direction,

they may go to the city wall.

As to what they want...

I think.

Thanks.

You're welcome.
