"The Moon Will Remember" Singer: Guo Jing - Lyrics: Tang Tian - Melody: Wei Guobin

♫ I want to ask the distant moon if that is you ♫

♫ Wearing rainbow colored clothes, dancing under the falling flowers, and accompanying me through the years ♫

♫ Is that you? But the moon won't speak ♫

♫ The shadows in pairs makes a line of a love poem ♫

♫ Protect my little light so it doesn't drift during the whirlwind ♫

♫ There is light in the dark and a wide umbrella in the rain ♫

♫ When the rims of my eyes become red, you hold out your hands to me ♫

♫ My tears then blossom in your palms ♫

♫ Protecting my slight stubbornness and accompanying me to watch the moon ♫

♫ It will remember how we looked shoulder to shoulder ♫

♫ Even with the onslaught of time and hardships caught on the corners of our eyes ♫

♫ It would still be the sweetness you'd given me ♫

[Auspicious Origins Fabric Shop]

May I ask for your name, Young Master?

I'm...

Wu Yi.

Are you from Fanjing?

I...

I lived in Fanjing for a few years when I was young.

I don't need any help.

As long as Your Highness trusts me, I'll be all right.

Xin Yue...

I even said...

I'd take him to see the scenery of Lanzhao.

But now, he's gone just like that.

He has only just found his family.

Xin Yue, don't be sad.

He's been through so much suffering because of these villains.

We'll definitely avenge his death!

You're right.

Ziyu.

The wage of sin is death.

The retribution of Yuan Daocheng should be coming soon.

[Peace and Health Forever]

How's it going with your task?

The goods are ready and they've been sent to the Quiet Willow Pavilion.

They should've arrived by now.

- Things have gone wrong, My Lord! - What is it?

The Ministry of Justice sent people to ask you to go for an interrogation, My Lord.

What on earth is this for?

How can the Ministry of Justice came to arrest people in Yuan Manor? [Yuan Manor]

There's official business in Ministry of Justice that needs you.

Please return with us, My Lord.

May I know what is this for?

Someone has come to the Ministry of Justice and sounded the drum, claiming you have killed in cold blood

and deceived the sovereign.

Please come with me.

[Peace and Health Forever]

[Ministry of Justice]

Greetings, Lord He.

May I ask what crime have I committed?

To uphold the prestige of the law,

when someone reports a crime, I must address the issue.

Call in the one who complained.

Brother!

Ni'er won't leave you alone this time.

Even in death,

we'll die together!

Commoner Ni Chang has complaints of an injustice today.

- Please uphold justice for me, My Lord. - Stand up and speak.

If you have any grievances, you can speak now in court.

Thank you, My Lord.

Yuan Daocheng, you've never thought I would return alive, did you?

Miss Ni Chang!

- Miss Ni Chang! - Ni Chang!

- Miss Ni Chang! - Ni Chang!

- Not here! Go over there and search! - Alright.

Ni Chang! - Miss Ni Chang.

Ni Chang!

Ni Chang!

Where are you?

Ni Chang!

Ni Chang!

Ni Chang!

Miss Ni Chang!

I found her!

Over here! Hurry!

She's no longer in danger.

She'll fully recover after resting a few days.

Thank you, Physician.

- Xiao Lu, show the physician out. - Alright.

- This way, please. - Little Six, get some more water.

Yes, Sir.

Ni'er, you're finally awake?

W-Where am I?

This is the Young Marquis' home. Don't worry!

You're safe.

Yuan Daocheng used me as a hostage to threaten Prince Luo.

He sent someone to lure me out of the Propitious Courtyard and then forced me to jump off a cliff.

Do you, Miss Ni Chang, have any evidence for your claims?

Your story is well thought out.

However, I'm not familiar with you.

What does your life or death have to do with me?

Not familiar? Four years ago,

you allied with Su Gongming of the city's eastern district to frame the Xie family.

This caused me to lose my family.

Have you forgotten something this important?

Who can prove that I ordered Su Gongming to do so?

What's more, the Xie family's case was proven with evidence.

Their crime was deceiving the sovereign, a serious one.

And what identity are you using to speak nonsense in the Ministry of Justice?

My surname is Xie.

My original name is Xie Xiao Ni.

My parents died by your hands during exile.

Later, you were afraid of being discovered, you killed off Su Gongming

and your subordinate Gao Xuan, one after another.

You also forced my brother and I to jump off a cliff.

I was lucky to survive, but my brother died saving me.

So many lives... you're utterly devoid of conscience?

Lord He! I'm also reporting the leader of the Bureau of Affairs,

Yuan Daocheng.

For many years, he's secretly allied with business people

and accepted bribes to line his own pocket.

He's taken money from the government treasury, killed people to silence, and held absolute power.

Each and every crime cannot be cleared!

Yuan Daocheng! Right now,

what else do you have to say?

Prince Luo, you and I don't get along.

However, it's not to the point where you can change the truth and accuse someone blindly.

I started investigating the Bureau of Affairs' crime of accepting bribes

and extorting businesses a year ago.

In my hands, there are many businesses who claim

that under your extortion, they couldn't maintain business.

Yet this still wasn't enough to satisfy your greed!

My Lord.

Very good! The Trader's Guild of the Imperial City

had become a money bag for you alone.

Lord He,

the interactions between the Bureau of Affairs and the Trading Post

have always been managed by Gao Xuan.

He also signed and regulated everything.

As for those tricks he played in private... [Impartially and Discerning Court Official]

I'm not aware of any of them.

Do you remember how Gao Xuan died?

Gao Xuan deceived the sovereign.

He knew his crime was serious and drowned himself.

I have already admitted fault in this case.

I'm not sure what else Prince Luo would like to do?

Drowned himself indeed.

Lord He, I'd like to call for a witness.

- Call for the witness. - Present the witness!

I am Fu San'er. Greetings, My Lord.

I'm Gao Xuan's nephew.

The day he died

I saw everything at Yuan Daocheng's house!

It was this Yuan person!

He used medicine to knock out my uncle

and said something about how he was going to send him on his way.

I knew this person was powerful.

Even though I saw everything,

I was too afraid to say anything.

I could only hide and run,

until Prince Luo found me and then I dared to come to court as a witness.

Please believe me, My Lord! Everything I've said is true!

If there is one lie, I should be hit by lightning.

Go and listen on the side, witness.

Yuan Daocheng, it has come to this.

You still won't admit to your crimes?

[Impartial and Discerning Court Official]

Lord He, according to my knowledge,

this Fu San'er is just a loser from the streets.

He's done plenty of underhanded things everyday.

May I ask Lord He,

are the words of someone like that believable?

Who knows if this Fu San'er received a benefit from someone,

so jumped out to speak nonsense and frame me?

Lord He, this is obviously a trap.

I cannot admit to it.

Pardon me, My Lord!

I'm the head of the Su family, Su Wenyu.

I'm here reporting Yuan Daocheng.

You don't admit to the Xie family's case or Gao Xuan's case.

This... you'll accept it, won't you?

Su Wenyu,

I advise you to think clearly before you speak.

Lord Yuan, this is the order list you had me take care of the day before yesterday.

Do you still remember it?

Bring it up here!

These past few years, he has used my Su family's business

and the Bureau of Affairs' account books to sweep how much money to line his own pocket?

How much illegal money has he gained for filthy lucre?

He's lied to the court and gained high pprofits.

I've kept all of these receipts.

I'd like to see whether or not these match with your Bureau of Affairs' records!

Su Wenyu!

You dare frame me as well?

Do you think I, Su Wenyu, would really be used by you?

Ni'er?

I want to return to being Xie Xiao Ni honestly and uprightly.

Are you willing to help me?

Lord Yuan, I'll leave now

and definitely complete this task.

Su Wenyu! You are just a coward!

You don't think about bettering your own business, but only think about taking advantage anywhere you can!

Having you is truly the worst fortune that could fall upon the Su family!

Prince Luo.

I forgot that this Fragrant Herb Hall

still has you as a supporter.

You're working for the court,

but you're too audacious.

On behalf of old friends, I'll let you go.

If you continue to be blind, don't blame me for ignoring feelings of friendship.

Lord He, I have my father's will.

This proves that the framing of the Xie family was due to Yuan Daocheng

who ordered my Second Uncle, Su Gongming, to change the pearl powder given by the Emperor

to a fake one to harm the Xie family.

My Lord, I am the steward of Su family, Xiao Hua.

I can also prove that the Xie family case back then

was indeed Second Master acting under Yuan Daocheng's orders.

He also forced Second Master to order someone to kill

the entire Xie family in exile.

Su Wenyu, what good does doing this bring you?

Don't forget that you aren't some innocent person, either!

I don't need Lord Yuan to remind me.

I, Su Wenyu, am willing to accept the consequences of what I've done.

And you, Yuan Daocheng, have bullied my Su family for many years and even killed my Second Uncle.

If I don't have you punished under the law,

what meaning would there be to keep on living?

Lord He, I'm Yuan Daocheng's accomplice!

I deserve death!

Men, come and capture Yuan Daocheng first!

Once I've reported everything to His Majesty,

the verdict will be announced.

Lord He, my Xie family has been framed and unfairly labeled as guilty for many years.

Now that the truth is apparent, please report this to His Majesty

to redress the Xie family's innocence.

That is my duty.

Lady Ni Chang, please rest assured.

However, this case can be settled smoothly

all thanks to Prince Luo's

endless attempts at finding evidence.

Or else, who knows when the Ministry of Justice

could have caught and punished this wicked person.

Lord He, you've made it sound too serious. Helping the government is also my duty.

Lord He, I still have one matter

that I haven't revealed.

What's the other matter? Speak quickly!

When Ni Chang was framed for killing the bandit, Shen Lan,

that was actually done by me! Please investigate this, My Lord!

There really is such a thing?

Because Shen Lan was the criminal who my Second Uncle sent to kill the Xie family.

This person used that matter to extort my Su family endlessly.

At the time, Ni Chang left after an argument with that Shen Lan on a small street.

I saw that Shen Lan was drunk beyond belief

and used the scissors that Ni Chang left behind to kill Shen Lan!

Who knew it would harm Lady Ni Chang...

- I deserve the death penalty! - Young Master Su!

I'm sorry, Ni'er! I kept this from you for so many years.

I'm a total b*stard.

Today, I only ask for death to repent for my crimes.

Please punish me, My Lord!

Su Wenyu, you're an accomplice of Yuan Daocheng's;

however, considering that you stopped at the last moment

and came forward as a witness, your service is greater than your mistakes.

Have Su Wenyu sent to the dungeons first.

Take away all his family property and achievements

as punishment!

The verdict will be given at a chosen date.

Yes.

Young Master Su's matter was something I didn't predict;

however, Yuan Daocheng is sly and cunning.

If he hadn't taken out the account books and Su Gongming's record of whereabouts,

the outcome of this crime would be hard to predict.

However, about the Shen Lan's case back then...

Ziyu.

I want to see him by myself, since he had helped me wholeheartedly before.

[Imperial Prison]

Young Master Su.

My Xie family's crime could be cleared

all thanks to you.

I'm the one who should thank you all.

If it wasn't for your appearance,

I'm not sure... when I could finish repenting for my crimes.

The matters in the past... I'm the one who let you down.

My Su family has owed you too much.

Dying for my crimes... is only fair.

- But the Shen Lan's matter— - I don't regret it!

Or else, I wouldn't have peace for the rest of my life.

But have you ever thought that

if you admit to the crime, you might...

I, Su Wenyu, have lived for so many years,

yet didn't live like a human.

I've finally turned over a new leaf.

It's better than...

endless nightmares and difficulty sleeping.

I'll go to plead with Lord He for mercy.

After all, Shen Lan committed crimes first and extorted endlessly.

You killed someone, but you had no choice.

However, I allowed Second Uncle to frame you for it,

and watched as you entered the dungeon.

I cannot be cleared of guilt.

Everything today

is all karma.

Hurry up and go! You shouldn't stay here for long.

Former supervisor of the Bureau of Affairs, Yuan Daocheng,

extorted businesses

and killed in cold blood! In accordance with Great Ning's law,

he should be rid of his family property

and locked in the Imperial Dungeon until decapitation after autumn!

All other accomplices will be punished [Yuan Manor]

in accordance with the seriousness of their sins!

Su Wenyu helped in this villainy;

however, in consideration of his admittance to crime,

he has merit and will be rid of his entire familial property

and exiled to Bei Yu for 10 years and forbidden to return to the imperial city.

The pearl bandit case involving the Xie family of the city's eastern district

has been proven to be framed!

Proof is written here to return innocence to the Xie family

and return their joint business name!

Hurry up!

[Xie Clan Ancestral Hall]

[Enshrine] [Memorial Tablet of the Deceased Father Xie]

Father,

Mother,

Older Sister,

I've brought you home.

[Enshrine] [Memorial Tablet of the Deceased Xie Feng]

When they forced you to jump off the cliff,

Wu Yi used her body to protect you.

She was gravely injured and was laying by your side.

Older Sister? Older Sister!

Ni'er?

You're awake?

Forgive me

for not acknowledging you.

I...

didn't want to put you in danger.

Hence,

I could only...

watch you...

from a distance and work hard

to protect you.

The furthest distance in this world

isn't between life and death.

It's Xie Feng

standing there as her only family member in this world.

My younger sister,

Xie Xiao Nie who was right in front of me,

how could I not acknowledge her?

Older Brother...

Older Sister, I know why

you call yourself Wu Yi. (TN : Wu Yi means nothing to depend on)

You were looking for me

but I had become Ni Chang.

You've found me now.

I won't leave you ever again.

You won't have no one to depend on again, either.

Do you want to get up? Let me help you.

Come!

Gradually!

Come! Take it easy.

When we were young,

Xie Feng...

was your older brother.

Now,

Wu Yi...

can finally...

legitimately...

be your older sister.

Older Sister.

Father said that we must take the Xie clan

and develop it to great heights.

Now, the mission of restoring the Xie clan

will only be handed over to you.

Searching for you...

has exhausted me.

In a while,

I'd like to get some good sleep.

No way! Older Sister, you can't sleep.

I still have lots of things to say to you.

We haven't seen each other in such a long time and you didn't even miss me.

How could you sleep? You are not allowed to sleep.

Do you hear me? Don't sleep!

Your Highness.

Older Sister Xie.

Your Highness, Prince Luo,

thank you for caring so much for my younger sister.

Older Sister...

I'll use my life to protect Ni'er.

Thank you.

Ni'er.

Older Sister.

I'm leaving...

her...

in your care.

All right?

Older Brother, why is there a top-knot on your head?

It's because I'm a man, I need to protect you in the future.

Older Sister, you can't abandon me.

Wake up, Xie Feng! - Don't be like this.

- You said that you wouldn't abandon me. - Don't be like this!

- How could you not keep your promise? - Ni'er!

- Ni'er. - Xie Feng!

Don't abandon me!

Uncle Xie, Auntie Xie,

Older Sister Xie,

please be at ease.

I'll protect Ni'er for the rest of her life. [Xie Clan Ancestral Hall]

[Xie Clan Ancestral Hall]

[Imperial Prison]

Hearing that My Lord was sentenced to prison,

I kept worrying.

Seeing that you're safe, I'm at ease.

It's just a reversal of fortunes.

I really couldn't have imagined

there would come a day when you'd be in dire straits like this.

So, it turns out you're here to strike me when I'm down.

Such a pity! Even if I'm in dire straits,

there's still Boss Yan with such a notorious reputation

for betraying and deserting others.

Yuan Daocheng, you've fallen in rank now

and are locked up within this concrete walls.

You still dare to be this arrogant?

When you killed Gao Xuan and the Second Master of the Su family,

did you ever think that you'd end up in this state?

I'll be beheaded today.

It's still not your turn to point the finger of blame at me.

You're just a sacrifice abandoned by the Yan family,

an abandoned wife who was kicked out by the Su family,

and someone who is useless and does things without ever using their brain.

Do you still think you're some lady from a noble family?

Actually...

Actually, you're nothing at all.

Even that good-for-nothing Su Wenyu

managed to play you so thoroughly.

At least, I still have a route to retreat.

Prince Luo and Ni Chang just didn't have the time to get to you yet.

Do you really think they'll let you off?

Or to say, you're prepare to escape?

That's exactly when you're admitting defeat to that damn Ni Chang, isn't it?

Stop mentioning that slut Ni Chang!

I don't want to hear that name.

Boss Yan is just afraid of Ni Chang.

Enough!

Yuan Daocheng, what are you trying to say exactly?

What if I said

there was a way to get rid of Ni Chang forever?

As long as you help we leave here,

I'll definitely help you fulfill your wish.

Lord Yuan, I fear you're joking.

I'm just a merchant.

How could I have the ability to break someone out from the Imperial prison?

If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.

When that day comes to send you on your way,

I'll definitely see you off.

You're indeed as brainless as I mentioned.

Since I dare to say this; of course, I have a plan.

If you do according to what I say,

I'll take care of your material needs for the rest of your life and you can be carefree.

Moreover,...

this woman, Ni Chang,

will never be an eyesore for you again.

Are you crazy? This is a serious crime that'll result in the death of the entire clan.

Have Boss Yan forgotten

that I'm already ridden with multiple crimes.

If I cannot get out,

then one day, they'll definitely have Boss Yan join me.

Tonight, we'll speed up the plan and move quickly tomorrow.

We can't waste even a single moment.

Young Mistress, this is a serious crime that'll get us beheaded.

- Of course, I know that! - I...

- I really dare not— - You must even if dare not to!

I have no choice in the matter.

- Boss Yan. - Is the boat ready?

It's ready.

I told you this Flower Viewing Meeting was worth a view.

This season's Flower Meeting has flowers of unrivaled charm.

But if it were up to me, no matter how pretty these flowers are,

- they're still not half as pretty as you. - You sure know how to talk.

- How are they all dead? - Who knows?

Last night, I accidentally knocked over your fodder

and you said you would poison my chickens to death.

- Today, my chickens and ducks are all dead! - What's going on over there?

Arguing? Are you looking for a fight?

Stop! Be careful!

Zixuan!

Hurry and run, Miss!

What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get out!

- Thank you for your help, Young Master. - You're welcome!

Thank you, Young Master.

Xi Yue!

Xin Yue!

Stop right there!

Don't run!

Stop right there!

Xin Yue?

[Prince Luo Manor]

Your Highness!

Your Highness, bad news!

Princess Lanzhao has been kidnapped!

How could this be?

The people who kidnapped Princess have been planning for awhile.

They purposefully created chaos on the streets and used that chance to kidnap the Princess.

Someone sent over a letter just now with the Princess' jade tablet.

Today, during the Wei time, (TN: Ancient China time is 2-hour intervals. Wei = 1- 3 PM)

bring Yuan Daocheng to the Southern Suburb Ferry Crossing in exchange for the Princess.

Carry Yuan Daocheng by yourself.

- You cannot alert the court. - This is Yan Wenxiu's handwriting.

Who knew she would do something like this?

This is a thorough plan.

I'm afraid Yuan Daocheng had long thought of this plan as a way out.

- Xiao Lu, prepare a horse immediately. - Yes.

- Hurry! - Where are you going?

Right now, it's just past noon.

I'll go secretly report to His Majesty and then calm Zixuan.

He's brash, so I'm afraid he'll already want to take action.

Then I'll wait in the manor for you to return.

- I hope the Princess will be alright. - All right.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

- Your Highness. - Your Highness.

Yuan Daocheng!

You, b*stard!

- I— - Zixuan!

Young Marquis, you need not to be so angry.

As long as I can escape smoothly,

Princess Lanzhao will be safe.

Don't you believe that I'd kill you now?

Young Marquis, you certainly can try.

- You! - Zixuan!

No need to speak more with him.

I believe Your Highness has already reported this matter.

His Majesty has ordered to prioritize the Princess' safety,

so he has sent me to take you out of the Imperial Prison.

[Prince Luo Manor]

Lady Ni Chang, don't be too worried.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Your Highness! Your Highness is back.

- Ziyu, how was it? - I've already reported to His Majesty.

His Majesty ordered that we are to prioritize the Princess' safety.

However, we cannot simply let go of the criminal, Yuan Daocheng.

This matter is entirely up to me.

Zixuan is to assist me.

It's all my fault! If I wasn't so careless...

Xin Yue wouldn't have been kidnapped by them.

Right now, it is getting closer and closer to 3pm.

We still have to escort Yuan Daocheng.

I've already given orders to the private troops in my manor.

I definitely won't let Yuan Daocheng have his way.

- However, won't we alert Yan Wenxiu by doing this? - It doesn't matter.

By then, Xiao Lu will take the troops to guard the opposite bank of the ferry crossing.

That'll be enough to counter Yan Wenxiu's guard.

- Then I'll go with you. - This...

I must go! I'm the one who understands Yan Wenxiu the most.

Take me along!

Then... we should leave immediately.

Yan Wenxiu?

Princess, how are you doing?

Ni Chang? Why did you come, too?

I've already brought Yuan Daocheng.

Please follow through with your promise and return the Princess.

All right.

Prince Luo is someone who keeps his word.

Then let's start the exchange.

Ziyu!

Yuan Daocheng, you're so underhanded!

Would you let me leave here alive?
