Episode 15

You won't come in

even if I invite you,

so you may stop here.

Thank you.

It's settled then.

We'll do as you planned.

Will it affect your business?

Your Grace,

not at all.

Why do we need the business

since you're here?

Right.

The best call boys are serving you now,

so we may take a break.

Are you reluctant?

It's our ultimate glory

to serve you.

You answered so orderly,

did you rehearse for it?

You mean it?

It'll give me a sense of accomplishment

to make the top joy house.

I shall make it bigger since I decided it.

I brought them here already.

What's more,

nobody knows you're Su Rongqing,

so

You should do something

Shen Ye is supposed to do.

Thank you, people.

When I leave here,

feel free to tell the others

that I don't go home

and run the Phoenix House

with Shen here.

It's alright to tell them

that I fool around with him.

We dare not.

We dare not.

There's nothing to be worried. Just do it.

We're taking our leaving.

Goodbye.

Hold on.

Those are your people,

the money they make here

should be yours.

Mister Shen.

We sent them here

to make the money for your house.

Do you think

our princess treats you unfairly?

Are you being sarcastic?

Not at all.

Then I'll count the silver.

1, 000 taels.

2, 000 taels.

3, 000 taels.

4, 000 taels.

5, 000 taels.

You're deep in the show quickly.

I'm your man.

Wanqing.

Wanqing.

Wanqing.

Greetings,

aunts.

You're about to be the Lord,

no need to salute us.

Right.

She's such a loyal child,

I feel secured to let her

be in charge of the Murongs.

Right.

Aunts, why did you say that?

Your mother was the Lord in the family.

Yes.

So you have every right to inherit it.

She's in the prison,

and...

Don't mention that traitor.

If you didn't change the tide,

our whole family

would've been wiped out because of her.

Quite right.

We discussed it already,

you'll be the Lord.

As for Murong Yu and her daughter,

they'll be driven out.

Yes, the two matters shall

be done quickly.

But the Empress said

only the two of them would be punished,

not the rest of us.

That was because of you.

I detested Murong Yu's

behaviors long time ago.

So we shall drive her out.

Right, it can't be delayed.

Are you afraid that the Empress may change her mind

if we don't do it now?

That's why we need you.

You may forget that

I'm the one who

was driven out.

Strictly,

it's the Murongs' business,

not mine.

No, Wanqing.

I'm sure Murong Yu informed you two

when she drove me out of the family.

Well...

And I'm sure

you were on her side, too.

Wanqing.

Wanqing.

Let's discuss it, Wanqing.

It seems we won't

have peace from now on.

I'm sure of that.

The princess bought all the houses around

to scale up.

She wants to make the Phoenix House the top one.

I'm sure the princess

is going to focus on the business.

Even he couldn't

tolerate your mind.

You really think she's going to do it?

She just wants to do business

with brother,

so he

and us will have no time to do the others.

Then

Lord Shu will control the situation

when she comes back.

But

brother has managed to come so far,

it's the critical time,

will he fail when he's about to make it?

Perhaps

it's time for him to fall out.

Fall out?

Will he?

Mudan, will he?

It's hard to say.

His cause matters more

to him, I guess.

Where's Shen Cong?

We couldn't see him each time

we wanted to discuss something.

Just leave him be.

He has his cause to handle.

Brother permitted it.

You're willing to come now?

Did you

come to kill me this time, too?

I thought about it.

Your family's disaster

had something to do with me.

Were it not for our betrothal,

the Murongs wouldn't had set your family up

in order to keep themselves alive.

But you didn't do anything wrong.

The betrothal

was about me too,

so I should hate myself, too.

I was going to finish myself

after killing you,

but now I think

if I keep you alive,

maybe I can have the reason to live.

Let me tell you something in private.

Actually, I enjoy

the feeling of being alive.

Do you

want to live with me?

Today,

I added the lamp oil in the ancestor hall

which I never did

since my mother passed away.

Not everyone could do it.

Now

I'm only one step closer

to Lord of the family,

I can take that post anytime.

Congratulations.

But I don't know

why I think I'll fail you

if I take the post.

You always showed up when I needed you the most.

Tell me now

what I can do for you.

Just say it,

such as giving up the post

because you don't want to have

anything to do with the Murongs.

I can understand it.

I mean it.

You've worked a whole day,

take a rest.

Why didn't I notice

that your room

was so elegant?

What do you mean by that?

Stop acting.

Aren't you angry?

When was I angry with you?

I'm thinking...

All I have,

my time included,

are yours.

But whatever you do,

sorry,

I won't let you make it.

Well, whatever you want to do,

I'll do my best to

help you to make it.

I promise

I'll run the Phoenix House well

and make a long-term plan

to make its business

more prosperous.

How's it?

Are you sure?

Don't forget

I'm now

Shen Ye, the owner of the house.

I almost forgot

that you almost became the consort of

the Empress of Da'an.

I ruined it.

Da'an is pretty as Great Chu.

What if there's no Great Chu

but only me?

Then I may be greedier.

Greetings, aunts.

Rise now.

It's a good day since you'll recognize the ancestor,

no need to stand on ceremony.

Right.

You shall salute the ancestors first.

Since it's a good day,

Why didn't my third aunt and fifth aunt

show up?

They're on the way.

Yes.

I think

they dare not to show up

because they're doubtful.

When did the Murongs's family customs

become so indecent?

Or

they don't accept me at all?

How dare they do that?

If you think the family customs are indecent,

you may rectify it

as you want.

That can wait,

but I have to

make something clear right now.

Yes?

The post of the Lord...

Should be you.

But since you're not married

nor have any heir,

we're thinking about

letting you adopt a daughter.

Are you going to find a way

to poison me slowly

when the situation is calmed

just like what you did to my mother, Murong Hong?

We had nothing to do with it.

No.

Aunts,

you're not surprised about my mother's death.

Murong Yu and you are true sisters,

but you were not close to my mother,

but you shouldn't have killed her.

It did have nothing to do with us.

No.

It's fine,

I will find the truth one day.

Since that's your intention,

there's no need to discuss it.

Discuss it?

How?

Can we discuss it?

Can't you see

who's in charge here?

You treacherous child.

Murong Wanqing.

Don't forget

that no one in the mansion is on your side.

We may leave you at the worst.

Who are you?

I caught Murong Yu and Murong Feiyu.

I was told

that I might decide the lives

of all the Murongs.

Your lives

are in my hands.

Frankly,

I really want to kill you.

Tie him up.

You...

I could kill all your people here,

I could even kill all of you.

Don't be angry, aunts.

I'm not going to

take the post of the Lord,

besides,

I don't want to recognize the ancestors.

Being the Lord is my mother's last wish,

but if I become it,

I'll keep staying in the Murongs to protect them

all my life

without a way out.

But this family is rotten

and filthy.

I was going to save it,

forget it,

if I have to fail someone,

I'd rather fail the dead

instead of the alive.

I can only find

who joined the rebellion

and who shall pay for my mother's death

when I'm not the Lord of the family.

What's more,

I'll investigate

all the ruthless things.

I'm homeless

like you.

Look at her.

Forget it.

Come here right now.

Greetings, My Lady.

Why're you here, Mister Su?

My Lord Dear told me to wait here.

Now,

I can only be Shen Ye.

Then what shall I...

Please.

You sent them

to wait outside?

He might attract some people

with those men outside.

Indeed.

You've set a record by letting

your husband attract the customers.

He's attractive

in this way.

Certainly.

He's not just attractive to you,

but to the others.

It doesn't matter.

I wish

he were a call boy.

Could you not

get Shen Cong involved?

What?

Are you dating him now?

You're really a married woman,

how could you ask that?

You wouldn't ask it in the past.

Do you think I'm degraded, too?

I quit being the Lord

of the Murongs.

For Shen Cong?

No.

For myself.

Really?

Fine.

It's for him a bit, too.

You don't have to do it.

You don't have to do it.

If I'm not a Murong,

we may stand a slim chance to be together.

Then

you may not

be able to see anything.

What do you mean?

Come.

Come here.

Greeting the Third Lady.

Greetings, My Lady.

Are you feeling

that Shen Cong isn't so good?

Who's Shen Cong?

Biyu.

Are we all kicked out?

The princess makes the call in the Phoenix House,

we just do as she arranges.

Since we shall follow her order,

why don't we go inside to wait for her orders?

It's cold after all.

Is it proper to

turn our back on brother?

I think

brother dares not to be angry with the princess.

Mudan.

Do you know why I like you?

You can't talk.

Shall I poison them to make them the mutes

like you?

Brother.

It wasn't my fault.

They said so.

Shouldn't we be loyal to brothers?

Greetings, my distinguished guests.

Don't say that.

We're not distinguished guests.

we're just common people

who could be

ordered about

as someone wishes.

Yes.

Please tell the princess

that we may want to be good people

who read books,

learn manners,

thinking for the people

as well as our country.

That's right.

Please let her give us a chance to be good people.

I'm afraid you have to

tell her yourselves.

Do you think she'll listen to us?

Then why don't you wait?

Maybe she'll let you go when someone

who knows entertainment better than you comes.

There's someone who knows it better than us?

How's that possible?

Not to mention the capital,

could there be someone

who knows it better than us?

No.

It's getting late.

Why don't we go inside

to see her new trick?

OK, let's go inside.

- Please. - We'll be good people tomorrow.

Are you going to compete with someone?

What do you think?

You'll impress all the others.

Amazing.

I think it may goad him

and make him focus on this matter,

so my mother can handle everything when she comes back.

But

it's just your conjectures.

Could it be a bit exaggerating?

We can't confirm it,

we can only prevent it.

I'll show you something tonight.

Greetings, my guests.

The guests you invited were not rare.

They invited those people's mothers.

That's rare. That's way too rare.

Greetings, Lords.

You met the brothers of Shen at your birthday,

now you came to see them again?

Well,

Lords,

is it proper to

come to the joy house?

Right.

We'll be in trouble if

the imperial censor knows it.

It's fine.

She will

be here soon.

I see.

You run here as the prime royal princess,

she comes here as a major courtier,

what's the big deal?

Lords,

your daughter are here, too.

If the others know it,

I'm afraid

there will be troubles.

There's no seniority in the house,

we could improve our relation.

Fair enough.

Then we shall let Mister Shen perform tonight.

We miss

his Sleeve Dance so much.

Right.

Lords.

Please.

Come.

Please.

After you.

Please.

That's fabulous.

Right.

Look at his graceful bearings.

And his elegant moves.

Bravo.

- Bravo. - Bravo.

To think

that your husband's dance

is getting

more seductive.

You like it?

Then keep watching.

How many chances do I have

to watch the husband of the prime royal princess dance?

Pretty many chances

which were all created by you.

Are you angry before

you subdue him?

I'm not.

Then let me tell you something more exciting.

Your young men said

they'd be satisfied if they could have

half of Shen Ye's charm.

Look,

they're busy on assisting him.

He recruited your people

with just a little effort.

I underestimated him.

I didn't know he'd be so seductive,

so flirting

and so good at

buying people over.

Only you know how to appreciate it.

The fine wine and the beaty,

What a wonderful life.

Tell me about it.

Bravo.

Bravo.

Really nice.

Magnificent.

Right.

- Bravo. - Bravo. - Bravo.

- Bravo. - Bravo. - Bravo.

Nice.

- Bravo. - Bravo.

Reward him.

That's amazing.

- Bravo. - Bravo.

He's such an outstanding dancer.

Look at his dance.

Terrific.

Excellent.

Bring me that.

Bravo.

Splendid.

Very nice.

Really?

You lost so much money recently

and got no income at all.

Any good news?

There is.

Your Shen Ye

made much more money

than your loss.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Don't you always say

I have the gift to run the joyful house?

You do have the gift.

Then how could this happen?

That's quite simple,

your opponent has a better gift.

I just made some tea.

Try it.

They said that a couple should have quarrels,

is that true?

I dare not to quarrel.

You've been doing well,

but I'm a bit angry,

so I want to find an excuse to quarrel with you.

Normally, you needn't

tell me about this thing in advance.

Since I wouldn't bother to find an excuse,

I told you directly.

I'm impressed.

You want to do it right here?

I wouldn't bother to quarrel with you,

nor did I know how to quarrel,

so I found some helpers.

What did you find?

The Capital Garrison.

What?

Lord Dear,

normally, the quarrel of a couple

doesn't need the army.

I suggest you to summon more people,

or the quarrel won't start

and won't be exciting.

Lord Dear.

I...

Her Grace orders us to wait.

Yes.

What's this way of cooking?

I learned it from the northern herdsmen.

Doesn't it look

too casual?

But it tastes good.

To think we could eat together

when we have a quarrel.

The quarrel doesn't

stop us from eating together.

I want meat.

Do we look

affectionate in this way?

Did your people

come here then?

I'm sure they did.

Since you're in a good mood,

I shall accompany you.

If I win,

you can no longer perform

and you can only watch by the side.

I can't have a chance to take action if you're there,

nor can I come up with a better idea.

That's all?

You seem to be joking,

but you're checking

if you can still order the Garrison.

I did nothing to the Garrison,

it's still yours.

So where did you

summon your people?

Some are from the Virtue Hall

and some

are from the Night Court.

Impressive.

You recruited part of the Night Court.

All of it.

I'm the leader of the Night Court.

To think my husband

is the Yin Emperor of the Night Court.

Not exactly.

I took it over so there would be

no Night Court

nor Yin Emperor.

You have my word.

What a lofty aspiration.

Do you have

some aspiration loftier?

By the order of Her Grace,

defeat them

without killing them.

By the order of the mister,

don't kill your opponent.

Our quarrel may stop right now,

but the state matter

will cause bloodshed

and get many people killed.

You know I want the country?

I know.

Will you stop me then?

With all my effort.

All right.

Tell them to stop.

We yield.

Follow Her Grace's order.

Yes.

The mister orders

you all to step back.

It doesn't matter

if the Phoenix House runs well.

I know.

You just don't want me to

have the time to rebel,

right?

But you won already.

You may do whatever you like.

Have some wine.

Could you tell me

your true thought?

Here.

Let's play a game.

You're in a good mood.

You are so mean.

You didn't give me

any reward in the games before.

Who do you think I am?

I'll offer

the reward.

How to play it?

Quite simple.

I ask, you answer.

If I think you say the truth,

I'll drink.

Otherwise,

you'll drink.

All right.

Before we start,

let me say something courteous.

Shen Ye,

I appreciate your kindness

in the past.

Now

I just hope you could be frank to me.

Certainly,

I'm sure you'll try to change the subject.

I'm not smart as you,

but I hope

you could stop taking me as a fool.

First question,

who

are you?

You mean Shen Ye,

Su Rongqing

or the Yin Emperor?

You have so many identities

that even I feel tired for you.

Yes,

I do have many identities.

Sometimes I felt confused, too.

But I'm sure of one thing.

You're my Lord Dear

and I'm your husband.

Nothing

could change it.

Can I still trust you?

You don't just want to be the Yin Emperor.

No.

Then the Great Chu?

I'll take it.

Frank enough.

Any chance you can change your mind?

Do you know my stand?

I do.

You swore to

keep the world peaceful.

I'm not capable enough,

I just have the title of

the princess comparing to you,

but I will still try my best to stop you

even if I have to kill you.

You're so frank.

So we could only be enemies now?

Living together

until death separates us?

It turns out

to be the empty talk.

Right?

Does our business

have anything to do with

your rebellion?

It does.

Fine.

So I'm just part of your plan

which is not so important to you.

If you want the country,

go get it.

Why did you come to me?

If we don't know each other,

we may not be hesitant

to kill each other one day.

Why're you doing this?

Since you want the country,

why do you have to ruin my heart?

Don't you always want to drink the couple wine with me?

Come.

Tonight, we're still

the Lord Dear

and the husband.

Shen Ye.

You said everything you had

belonged to me,

right?

Right.

Then I want your life.

Close your eyes.

Does it hurt?
