Episode 30

Let me put it this way.

You're a servant.

Little Miss is a mistress.

You two have different social status.

You're just wasting your time if you like her.

All you do will all be in vain.

You must know remember your own status.

- Got it?
- Mu Le. Why are you here?

Deputy Minister Zhao.

Greetings. I'll take my leave.

Mu Le, in the fight to eliminate the evil monk,

you helped me. I do appreciate it.

Let's not talk about past grievances. Let's celebrate today.

Let's go in and have a drink.

You two are here.

Today is worthy to be celebrated.

No matter what happened before,

after drinking together, it'll all disappear.

Deputy Minister Zhao is proposing a toast to you. Why are you being so disrespectful?

I don't deserve it.

He's so stubborn. Don't lower yourself to his level.

After a catastrophe,

everyone almost lost their lives.

Yes. Luckily the empress has made plans beforehand.

Did you really kneel for three days there?

If it was you, wouldn't you do the same for me?

Of course.

That's it then. What I did is just so simple.

You once said that we shouldn't let the right person down, the right thing down.

Thank you.

It's nothing.

Yuan'an, could you please answer my question directly and clearly?

Go ahead.

Am I... the person you care for the most?

Why are you suddenly asking?

Is Mu Le the person you care for the most?

I got it right?

Don't make groundless guesses.

Anyway, Mu Le used to work for my Ye Mansion.

He saved me several times. So, it's just right that I'm nice to him.

Just because he's not in the same position as you,

must I be cold to him?

Well, let me ask you too. What about me?

What do you think of me in your heart?

Yuan'an, You're... In my heart, you're...

Relax. I'm just asking randomly.

I know that you're an impartial person.

You do everything according to the rules.

Yuan'an.

This is how I think of you.

It's getting late. Shall I walk you home?

Okay.

Wait,

when we were having dinner, I didn't finish my words.

Empress said... She awarded our family so many things.

I won't be able to use all of them and there are some that belongs to you.

I'll take them out and give it to you.

You're giving me money?

I don't care about money.

What do you care about?

What do I care about?

I care about you.

Are you crazy?

How come he can, but I can't?

- What are you saying?
- Zhao Lanzhi!

What were you two talking about earlier?

Why did he hold your hands like this?

It's none of your business.

Must I report to you what he said to me?

Yes. I'm just a nobody!

Just because you took Tianshu back and saved my life doesn't mean you can do everything you want.

Let me ask you, did I beg you to do all these for me?

- No.
- Since I didn't beg,

then it means that you did them willingly, right?

Yes. I was wiling to do them.

Since you wanted to do them, I didn't owe you anything. Right?

- Right.
- Okay.

Since I don't owe you anything, remember this.

I treat you well, just because you work in my family.

And because you're nice to me.

But that doesn't mean that you could do everything to me.

Sorry.

♫ Still how many words I've spoken haven't explained, ♫

♫ Many thoughts I should untie love with you, being truly desolate. ♫

♫ Wanting to know why don't I break free, demanding I bravely, quickly overcome, ♫

♫ I am truly moved. ♫

Miss.

Nanny, it's still you that treats me the best.

Did you drink too much?

No, I didn't!

Well, I want to remind you of one thing.

- Go ahead.
- Mu Le,

do you have any plan for him?

He's so ambitious and so hard to warm up.

I'm so annoyed by him, so why would I still make plans for him?

You're not telling the truth.

You treat everyone here well.

You'll do the same to Mu Le.

If he would stay here, I will treat him well.

But if he wouldn't stay here. I can't force him. What should I plan?

He's a servant. He is of slave status.

Wherever he goes, he can't farm, do business,

or apply for any higher position. Do you know that?

I forgot about this. It's still you that's thorough.

But he's not only of slave status, he's now a bandit from Huodu Mountain.

A wanted criminal of the imperial court.

So even if I don't like him, I should indeed make appropriate plans for him.

Okay then. I still have to go beg others.

So good.

I haven't had such a good sleep for a long time.

Nobody is forcing me to think about schemes anymore.

And nobody is forcing me to take some Divine Beads.

So good.

You're, Princess. Let Die'er get you dressed.

Wear the Meijingyuan necklace. I like it.

You got up, sister.

You look great today. Your face is as rosy as flower.

I'm flattered. My face didn't change at all.

These days, I'm bothered by those people.

- Who?
- People asking for your hand.

The eldest son of Chancellor Xu of the Department of State Affairs, the heir-apparent of Prince Zhenxi,

and the eldest son of General Wu.

Besides, many princes and aristocrats have come to propose decently.

But I didn't promise anyone.

I told them, this should be decided by my sister herself.

Her brother and I will listen to her about this.

You gave them a perfect answer.

After what happened between Xianya and me,

a lot of people considered me as a bane.

Did anyone come to propose marriage?

Now that they knew about my background and that the Empress trusts me,

they then immediately came to make connections.

They're the followers of wealth and power.

Minghui is right. They're the followers of wealth and power.

They're not our friends.

But little sister, I have to tell you something, even you won't be happy by hearing this.

Everything about you is great, but you can't live with us for the rest of your life.

You must find someone to be your husband.

I know that you're thinking for my sake.

But who he is and where he is, only I know.

Nine Divine Beads are a supreme treasure fetched back

by Master Sanzang from India.

In the Ci'en Temple massacre, the beads were lost.

The evildoer Tianqiao deceived the Emperor

and usurped the position of State Preceptor.

Now the case is closed and everything is clear.

Tianqiao died and the beads were brought back.

This is all thanks to Master Tianshu.

He protected our nation and cleared the injustice suffered by Master Sanzang and his pupils.

Today, Master Tianshu is being appointed

as the State Preceptor of our Tang Empire.

Thank you, Emperor and Empress.

State Preceptor, we do hope that you could decode

all the secrets of Nine Divine Beads

and help our nation achieve the unification of the world.

Yes, Empress.

As mandated by the heaven and keeping with times, His Majesty decrees

that Deputy Minister Zhao Lanzhi of the Court of Judicature and Revision

is intelligent, courageous, and skillful in fighting.

He defeated Tianqiao and his accomplices. He has made great contribution.

Five years' official salary is awarded. Announcement by the emperor himself.

With honor, His Majesty.

Imperial edict for Ye Yuan'an and Princess Minghui.

- Your majesty.
- Your majesty.

As mandated by the heaven and keeping with times, His Majesty decrees

Ye Yuan'an and Princess Minghui

are intelligent, brave, and loyal. They never bow to temptation,

They have made great contributions to eradicating Tianqiao and his accomplices.

Ye Yuan'an is promoted as the Directress of Registration of the General Palace Service.

Princess Minghui is promoted as the Directress of Communications of the General Palace Service.

They're on standard class, fifth rank and five years of official salary are awarded.

Announcement by the emperor himself.

Thank you Your Majesty for your graces.

Timing and Translation provided by the Tang Yamen Team at Viki

It's auspicious. Congratulations, emperor and empress.

Fine. All arise.

Thanks Emperor!

Empress, the State Preceptor said he's in the Futu Pagoda

focusing on decoding the secret of the nine Divine Beads

and can't make it here to the banquet.

In my opinion, he's just unwilling to come.

He also said, the nine stars in Futu Pagoda

are the Nine Divine Beads brought together.

It seems that our dream to achieve the unification of the world will be achieved soon.

Okay. He's allowed not to come here for the banquet.

Go back and tell him,

I'm handing him the important mission of our empire to rule the world.

Yes.

Directress Ye, you're summoned by the empress.

Princess, you're summoned by the empress.

Your Highness.

Stand up.

Thank you, Empress.

My girls, how do you like my awards?

I'm overjoyed. I hope I could live up to your expectation.

And you, Yuan'an?

I feel satisfied, but I don't know what to do.

You'll take more responsibilities in your higher positions.

You would know this later.

My girls, I do like you two.

If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can just tell me.

Maybe, I could help you with them.

I am just waiting for this!

Go ahead and tell me.

Empress,

there is a servant named Mu Le in my home.

He is loyal to me.

And he has contributed a lot in defeating State Preceptor Tianqiao this time.

But because he's just a slave and used to be a bandit in Huodu Mountain,

he can't get any awards. I hope empress could remove his slave identity,

so he could live and work in peace.

Okay, Yuan'an. You didn't let me down.

You're warmhearted and have sense of justice. I promise you.

Thank you, empress.

And you, Minghui?

I...

I want Zhao Lanzhi.

What?

You asked me about my unfulfilled wishes.

I dare not say any lies.

My unfulfilled wish is Zhao Lanzhi.

You're asking for trouble.

Come on then. I'm not afraid of you.

Well, Yuan'an, you may leave first.

I want to talk to Minghui.

Empress.

Minghui, I used to think that you're clever and sensible.

You know what you want.

But today, you seem a little bit irrational.

Empress, you think I'm irrational.

I know that you and Yuan'an are not in good relationship.

You two are young and full of life.

It doesn't matter to compete in something.

But marriage is important.

Will you also compete with her for this?

No, empress.

This has nothing to do with Ye Yuan'an.

That I ask you for Zhao Lanzhi is not to compete with Ye Yuan'an.

We all know that they love each other.

They could even sacrifice their lives for another.

Minghui, there are many excellent men in the royal family.

Why do you want him?

There are many excellent men,

but I only want Zhao Lanzhi.

I want him just for myself.

I love this man.

He's upright and brave.

Empress, you said you would satisfy my wish.

I'm glad to work for you.

I just wish I could have this.

I can give up anything else.

Empress, will you promise me?

I can grant your marriage.

But, how can I face Yuan'an?

Don't worry, empress. If she's thinking about this,

why didn't ask for it from you?

Just now, she just focused on helping her servant.

Because everyone knows that they love each other.

It's something quite natural.

No, empress. That is not the case.

Minghui, if you keep being obstinate about this,

will you be happy in the future?

You put me in a dilemma.

If you want a long-term relationship, you two must love each other.

You can't force it.

Well then, if you want me to grant you marriage,

let Zhao Lanzhi tell that to me.

If he's willing, I'll give you the permission.

Thank you, Empress!

I'll definitely let Zhao Lanzhi come here to ask you to grant us marriage.

What did you say?

I said that Princess Minghui has fallen in love with you.

She asked the empress to grant you two marriage.

Nonsense!

I dare not to make jokes on this.

When did you two begin to have a filthy ambiguous relationship?

Have you had an affair long ago?

How many idioms have you learned

and you even used them all on me.

What dirty ambiguous relationship? Having an affair?

Your words are so indecent.

Before the truth behind the case of Tianqiao became clear, Minghui was an enemy for both of us.

How could I have an affair with her?

It takes two hands to make a clap!

Flies can't break a seamless eggs!

Those seductive eyes of yours are not from someone upright!

You're getting more irrational.

My seductive eyes?

It was clearly you who provoked her.

Have you ever seen such honorable seductive eyes?

There there. Don't be angry about this.

Tomorrow I'll go to Prince Yu's Mansion

and clarify things with Princess Minghui.

I'll clear all your old scores with her.

At the very least, I should get dragged into it.

It's you who mixed me and her together.

Anyway, you think of a solution.

Lanzhi, I'm honored to have you here.

Greetings, Prince Yu.

Please sit down.

I was just thinking of inviting you for hunting in one of these days.

The empress thinks highly of you now.

I'm afraid you would refuse me.

Don't say that. I'm flattered.

Lanzhi, why did you come here today?

You're not arresting me for some case, right?

Prince, you're joking with me.

I came this time to discuss

a few things with Princess Minghui.

Minghui? She went out early this morning.

It's been hours since she left.

I reckon that she would come back soon.

Could you wait for her here?

That's good too. Thank you, Prince.

Deputy Minister Zhao, did you come for me?

I have something to discuss with you.

Minghui, what's wrong with your hand?

It's bleeding.

I fell down just now. Nothing serious.

Deputy MInister Zhao, this way, please.

What brings you here?

Yuan'an told me a joke.

She said you asked the empress to grant us marriage?

I was wondering why you would ask such a ridiculous request

in front of the Empress.

I came here to tell you

that if Yuan'an and I have done something

wrong to you before,

please forgive us for you are magnanimous.

Please do not lower your level to ours.

We all are serving the empress,

so we may need to help each other.

But for other things, I hope that we maintain the proper limit.

You're apologizing for Ye Yuan'an.

Who are you to her?

And how sure are you that Ye Yuan'an was just joking?

In your mind, no matter what she said is funny, right?

Whatever she said is adorable, right?

Yuan'an, sometimes she's like a child, confused about many things.

If you fall in love with someone, you'll say so.

You feel that everything by her is cute just like a child.

Deputy Minister Zhao. I saw you picked up the flowers she threw away.

I also saw you smiling as you quietly watched her.

I even saw you softly touched the hair in her forehead.

You're right.

We went though hardship and danger together.

We're partners and like brother and sister.

We're indeed very close.

But this time, she was not telling jokes to you.

I did ask the empress to grant us marriage,

because I must have what Ye Yuan'an has.

I want nothing else but you.

Princess, getting married is not a joke.

Your joke has gone too far?

There's nothing interesting with making jokes.

It has to be true for it to be interesting.

I'm afraid I can't say yes.

I'll take my leave now.

Zhao Lanzhi. You seem to have forgotten something.

When we were in the prison, you begged me not to torture Ye Yuan'an and I said yes.

Tianqiao eventually ordered his pupils to break off one of my fingers, just because I didn't do my job well.

We had an agreement then.

You must give me back what you owed, and it could be anything.

You personally promised it to me. Did you forget?

I'll never forget.

If you need, I could even give you my life.

But I'll not marry you.

You eat your words?

You ask too much and it's ridiculous.

I'm not able to give it to you.

Since that's the case, I 'll not force you.

You may leave.

Thank you, Princess.

Zhao Lanzhi,

have you even been to the gambling house?

I've been there to deal with cases.

Then you must know their rules.

If a gambler lost all his money,

he would say to the boss,

after he had money, he would return it to him immediately.

If this gambler has credit, he could be let go.

But tell me, can this person truly get away with his debt?

What do you want?

I mean, Deputy Minister Zhao, I may let you go today.

But after several days, you may come back to see me.

At that time, the interest may get doubled.

[Ye Mansion]

Ye Fucheng please come forward to accept the imperial edict.

Mu Le, stop feeding them. I have great news for you!

What is it?

You contributed on the Tianqiao case, so I asked the empress to remove your slave identity.

From now on, you're free! You can do whatever you want.

You don't need to feed horses here. Her highness also said,

that you're spared on what you did in Huodu Mountain.

Look, here is the imperial edict.

What do you mean?

I mean nothing.

What do you mean by "mean nothing"? Do you think it's easy to get this?

Do you think anyone can do it? I got this for you with great efforts.

What do you want? Thank you?

You ought to do that.

You don't want to be a servant, right? You don't want to call me your master.

Now, your wish is achieved. Why are you angry about this?

Then? Give me freedom?

You can get married with Zhao Lanzhi?

What are you talking about?

I don't know where I'm from and even my identity.

I'm not a slave. I would take care of finding out my own identity by myself.

You don't need to worry about it.

You must be mad!

What are you doing?

Just because I didn't listen to you, you don't need to hurt yourself just to get back at me.

I didn't hurt myself.

You think too highly of yourself.

You know? You're really unreasonable.

Don't you know we must enshrine the imperial edict.

- Hurry up.
- Minister Ye, what's wrong with Miss Ye?

We also don't know. She was well before and then just suddenly couldn't see.

This way, please.

Hurry up.

How many is this?

One.

How about this?

Seven.

Doctor, what...

From the pulse condition, she's not sick.

- What? Not sick?
- Nothing serious.

Maybe she has been too tired and in too much pressure.

Her eyesight got affected.

I'll prescribe some medicine that can stimulate the brain and improve eyesight.

She'll recover soon in a few days.

Doctor, this is still not ill?!

Besides, she should eat more

pork liver and fish. They're good for her.

Okay. Thank you, doctor. Shall I walk you out? You have worked hard.

Sister, I'm Yuanning.

Yuanning, I know you. Don't bother me. I'm busy now.

I'll play with you after walking the doctor out.

Yuan'an.

What...

Honey, eat the fish eyes. It's good for your eyes.

Nanny Zhang, what's wrong with the cook?

They didn't add salt in the dishes.

They have no taste.

Go to kitchen and fetch the salt and pepper to me.

Okay.

Nanny, put more.

Okay.

More. Give me more.

Nanny, did you add any?

- Oh! Too spicy!
- What's wrong with her?

The eyes haven't recovered. Here comes the tongue.

Yes, what...

What's wrong with this?

Minister Ye.

Lanzhi. Lanzhi.

Yuan'an. What's wrong with you?

Lanzhi.

- I'm here.
- Lanzhi.

- Yuan'an, you...
- I don't know.

It came all of a sudden. I don't know...

Without any signs, you suddenly had this illness?

Did you eat or drink something? Or did you meet anyone?

I...I don't know.

Lanzhi...

Here, Yuan'an. Hold the brush.

Write it down. Here.

Minghui?

You met Minghui?

What did you do with her? Come.

Fight? You fought with her?

Minghui. What's wrong with your hand? It's bleeding.

I just fell down. Nothing serious.

Sir, I'm letting you go today.

After several days, you may come back to find me.

At that time, the interest may get doubled.

Yuan'an, have a good rest here. I'm going to see Minghui.

Don't leave.

Lanzhi.

Could I ask you for a poison?

For what?

Nothing is more important than a person's life.

Hence, there is no skill that is better than killing someone.

I want the most toxic one.

As long I want it, my enemy will die immediately.

Now, this is yours.

But remember, if it's not urgent enough,

or unless you meet the toughest enemy, never use it.

State Preceptor, can this poison kill a person immediately?

Killing them is no better than making they surrender.

This poison is colorless, tasteless, and can't be tested out.

It won't kill your enemy immediately,

but give them time to think and judge before they die

if they will be your servant

or a corpse beside your feet.

Get it?

Deputy Minister Zhao, Minghui doesn't feel well today. She doesn't want to see you.

Lanzhi. Can't you just come tomorrow?

Prince, don't you know that someone is dying? How can I put it off?

Deputy Minister Zhao!

Deputy Minister Zhao, you can't come in.

Deputy Minister Zhao!
