[Jun Jiu Ling]

[Episode 1]

[Red Phoenix Gate]

Emperor Zhizong of Tianyou has passed away.

His young brother, Chu Rang, ascended the throne. Not long after,

Zhizong's second daughter, Princess Jiuling,

according to an imperial edict, married beneath her to the Commander of the Martial Moral Ministry,

Lu Yunqi.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

May you live a long life, Your Majesty.

Jiuling, what is wrong?

It's such an auspicious day, what's going on with you?

Chu Rang, why did you kill my imperial father?

Why do you say that?

I have already found out the truth.

My imperial father passed away because of your poisonous hands.

Killing an innocent person, you are so vicious!

The Imperial Physicians Hall has long come to a conclusion.

Imperial Brother returned to Heaven because his chronic illness relapsed.

Could it be that you have heard some rumors?

Did you go to the imperial study the day my imperial father passed away?

After you left there,

did my imperial father return to Heaven because his chronic illness relapsed?

However, why did his neck have bright red strangulation marks?

It's him, Chu Rang!

It's he who killed my father!

You have been instigated by people, right?

You—

It's you who killed my imperial father.

Yes.

What will you do?

Have you found who told Jiuling of the matter?

- How's Jiuling? - Replying to Your Majesty. We have placed severe punishment on her,

yet she will not confess.

I have checked thoroughly.

A maidservant named Bing'er has escaped.

Tell me. How should this Jiuling be disposed of?

This...

Your Majesty must have already decided long ago.

I am just worried about

the fact that this Chu Jiuling has an older sister and a younger brother.

Could it be that the three of them participated in this matter together?

No.

Among the three siblings,

Jiuli is the most innocent and Jiurong is not of age yet.

Only this Jiuling...

is extremely intelligent and meticulous.

She was doted on most by my imperial brother.

May I be so bold as to say, if she's so extremely intelligent,

then why would she...

Try to assassinate me?

If she had succeeded in the assassination, then her wish would have come true.

Since it wasn't a success, then she's asking for death.

If she dies, then I'll be at the mercy of the public and I cannot do anything to Jiuli or Jiurong.

See?

Is this child simple?

She is not simple at all.

I had Lu Yunqi marry her...

as a precaution.

Since she won't say, then there's no need to continue asking.

I understand.

This time, don't let anyone else escape.

I deserve to die.

Chu Jiuling, wake up and eat. After you eat, we'll send you on your way (to death).

Father, the guards outside have fainted but we must be quick.

All right.

Jiuling.

- Jiuling. - Jiuling.

How could they harm you to this state?

- Her life is not in danger for now. Let's leave here immediately. - All right.

Let's go. Hurry.

My Lord, when I was on duty, I heard with my own ears

that His Majesty wants to kill Princess Jiuling.

Father, walk quickly.

Come on.

This way.

Wait, Father.

Once the people from the Martial Moral Ministry find Jiuling missing, they will search the entire capital for sure.

At that time, none of us will be able to escape.

I, Zhenzhen, am not filial. I shall be your daughter again in another life.

Jiuling, we have learned medicine from Father for many years.

We have long been a family.

The late emperor had been extremely gracious to my Jun family.

Having the chance to repay that grace now is our Jun family's fortune.

You must live well for me.

Fire!

Jiuling!

Hurry! Hurry!

Get water! Hurry and put out the fire!

Yes, My Lord. Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry! Hurry and put out the fire!

Hurry! Hurry up!

The water is here!

What?

Jiuling died in a big fire?

When I got there, I was too late.

How did the prison catch fire?

I failed at my duty. When I was not aware,

the princess set herself on fire.

Herself on fire?

Jiuling is one of my most beloved nieces.

Since young, she was obedient and sensible.

Later on, she lived outside the palace for many years

and became arrogant.

She actually... She actually tried to assassinate me.

Since she is no longer with us,

I will not punish others for her crimes

nor continue to pursue this matter any further.

Thank you for your graciousness, Your Majesty.

[Honest, Kind, Thoughtful, Cautious]

Jiuling...

Master... My face...

Jiuling,

I used a secret technique to change your appearance and voice.

But sadly, your previous face and voice...

Master,

- what about Zhenzhen? - Zhenzhen...

has died.

Zhenzhen stayed in the prison for you and set a fire to cover it up.

That was the only way everyone would believe that you died.

These years of you secretly learning medicine by my side

has been my and Zhenzhen's happiest years.

The late emperor was so kind to me. You were in trouble.

How could Zhenzhen and I just stand by and watch?

Jiuling, our Jun family has willingly repaid that kindness.

Here.

Eat.

Let me see. So pretty.

- I have to find Zhenzhen! I have to find Zhenzhen! - Jiuling!

Let me go find her!

Jiuling!

You have to live well.

Don't let her sacrifice go to waste.

Ever since my father's death, my siblings and I have become a thorn in Chu Rang's side.

I promised to marry Lu Yunqi so he would let his guard down.

Even though my assassination failed,

he wouldn't hurt them.

Princess Jiuli and His Royal Highness Prince Huai

really don't have to worry about their lives for the time being.

As of today, your appearance has been changed to Zhenzhen's.

This was a last resort

but it's also a blessing in disguise.

Starting today, nobody

will connect you with Princess Jiuling.

Master may not know,

the Imperial Father's personal maid told me

Imperial Father died tragically in Chu Rang's hands.

Princess!

Bing'er, where did you go?

Everyone's trying to find you.

Princess, I have something to report!

Before the late emperor died,

His Majesty entered the palace with Commander Lu.

and...

and had an argument with the late emperor.

It turned into a violent dispute.

A violent dispute?

What were they arguing about?

I don't know the reason but

I personally saw, after the late emperor died,

there were strangulation marks on his neck; definitely not natural death as the imperial physician said.

[Here will lay the spirit of the deceased emperor]

Master...

I can't let this go.

Child, the heavens have their own plan.

But you must live on in order to get justice.

You must cherish your life.

Live on...

Yes... live on.

Master, you lost your daughter because of me.

From now on, I will be Jun Zhenzhen

- I will live on for Zhenzhen. - Good.

- Only through living can I get justice. - Good.

Good child.

Master...

Master...

Master!

Master!

Master! Master!

Master!

Master! Master!

Master!

You're awake! Master!

Master, it's me, Jiuling.

- Master... - When I saw the immortal flower,

I was so overjoyed.

I wasn't careful with my footing,

and fell down the mountain.

Don't talk anymore, save your energy.

I'll take you back.

Hold on.

Hang on.

- Jiuling! - Master.

There's no use, no use.

Just hold on, hold on!

Jiuling, this is my Jun family seal

that has been passed down through the generations.

Take it.

From now on, you're no longer Princess Jiuling.

You are Jun Zhenzhen.

No, no, I'm not anyone.

I only want Master to survive. Do you hear that?

- Master... - There's something...

I have to leave it to you.

Jiuling, in my records,

there’s a seal that the late emperor handed to me before his death

It's about the murder of the late emperor's father by the Northern Qi people three years into his rule.

The emperor had suspected that this matter was related to Chu Rang.

So, he wanted me to investigate. Not long after,

he was killed by Chu Rang.

I believe this is the reason for Chu Rang's troubles.

It's also Chu Rang's weakness.

Now that you are weak, you must not return to the capital hastily or you will fall into a trap by yourself.

It's better to go to Zezhou first and investigate the matter thoroughly.

The Fang family, which Zhenzhen’s maternal grandfather is from, is a big family with big business in Zezhou.

That's the best way to protect yourself.

[Jun Yingwen]

[Third Year of Taiyan, seal]

Chu Rang,

I'll get justice for my imperial father.

Let the whole world know the truth.

Ten miles south, at the Blue Cloud Worn Inn,

Ru'nan's maid, Liu'er,

will wait there for you.

[Blue Cloud Worn Inn]

Let me go!

What are you trying to do in broad daylight?!

What are you doing? Should I sell you for rent?

Do you have any rules? I'm going to report you!

You stayed here and ate for free for a month, yet you want to report me?

Who lied to you? My Lady will be here soon!

If my money hadn't been stolen before, I wouldn't owe you anything!

Right, right. Keep lying.

How many times have I heard it already?

Your Master and Young Lady, some Ru'nan military family,

are having you wait here for them.

I shouldn't have believed you, to begin with!

Our Old Master, the miracle physician, has been reborn.

He just wanted me to wait here for him. He'll definitely come!

How much does she owe? I'll pay.

My Lady, we're finally united.

All these years we haven't seen each other, you've gotten even prettier.

Our old servants didn't want to wait anymore.

They stole my money and ran off.

But now that we're together, everything will be fine.

Nobody will harm us anymore.

Don't cry anymore. You've had a stressful time.

I'm going to seek shelter at Grandfather's place.

If you'd like, you can come with me.

Yes! I'll go wherever you go.

However, that place is a merchant's house.

I'm afraid that once you get to Zezhou, you will be miserable.

Whether it's a family of officials or merchants, I do not care.

My identity isn't important either.

Eat it. I'm not hungry.

Eat more. After we eat, we will go to Zezhou.

You have such strong hands. It's like the abacus owes you silvers.

I was never serious about this when I was young. It's not like you are unaware.

I broke De Shengchang's abacus many times. This is not bad.

Eldest Young Mistress. Second Young Lady.

Guests have arrived.

When have we not had guests? Why so panicky?

They said they are... Old Madam's granddaughter...

When did Old Madam have a granddaughter?

How come I don't remember?

I think I've heard it before, but

it's been a long time since they've made contact.

Someone who hasn't come in a long time suddenly shows up...

They are definitely here for a reason.

Let's go see.

You're Yuxian's daughter, Jun Zhenzhen?

Yes, Grandmother.

Come closer.

You don't look like Yuxian.

You probably look like your father.

After Yuxian married into Ru'nan, she has never come back.

Yuxian has been gone these many years.

The news I've received... I don't know if it's real or fake.

How did your mother pass?

When Mother passed, I was only 3 years old.

She caught a cold and was treated for half a year but never got better.

She passed that winter.

Grandmother, we don't know Auntie's situation.

Just because she says so, how can we believe it?

Grandmother, this is the Jun family seal.

Zhenzhen, I'm not blaming you.

You said this is the Jun family seal, but do you have anything else?

Like anything of your mother's or Ru'nan documents?

See? Just someone else here to take our money.

Sister, don't say so much.

Mother, how about we let Zhenzhen stay a little while?

In the meantime, we can send someone to Ru'nan to investigate.

They'll find the truth.

If we continue, I'm afraid we'll hurt Zhenzhen's feelings.

You can stay for now.

Jinxiu, have someone clean the West Courtyard.

You all can go.

I want to chat more with her.

Yes.

When Yuxian left home, she didn't take anything.

The only thing she took was a bracelet.

That's the bracelet I gave her. She loved it.

Before her wedding, she would often joke

that she would leave this bracelet to her child.

This bracelet... Did she give it to you?

When Mother died, Father was distraught.

He buried it with her.

Do you still remember what kind of bracelet it was?

Old Madam has a lot of jade...

She probably loves jade.

I remember...

it was a green

jade bracelet.

It was crystal clear.

Since the courtyard is ready,

Shaoyao, take her there.

- Thank you. - Yes.

I only just passed the first test.

If I really want to be established here, it'll come slowly.

I must find the opportunity to gain the Fang family's trust.

Zhenzhen, please protect me in Heaven

so I can find the secrets.

You can stay here. And anyway, we don't know how long you'll be staying.

Zhenzhen, Eldest Sister has this temper.

Please don't take it to heart.

What do you mean by Zhenzhen?

Wait until her identity is confirmed before you get close.

Let's go.

Shameless.

Liu'er!

What did you say? Say it again!

- You— - Okay, Liu'er, don't say anymore.

She should be happy you called her sister.

- Who wants to be close with her anyways? - What an unruly servant!

- The servant takes after the master. - Who's unruly?

Bad people should be cursed!

- Okay, stop now. - Sister.

Let's go.

Sister, I apologize I didn't teach my servant properly.

We'll go first.

Let's go.

Young Mistress, I won't act like that anymore.

We just entered the Fang family,

we need to be more cautious.

Some people, though what they say is ugly, doesn't mean they are bad people.

Some people say nice things but can still have an evil heart.

What? Ugly words but good heart,

good heart can be...

Young Mistress, I'm confused.

Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water.

Once you've encountered more, you'll understand.

Here's some tea.

Oh right!

In the letter, Master told me to bring this

from the house.

He said I have to personally give it to you.

Here.

What's this?

I don't know.

[Marriage Contract]

What does it say? Why is it so important?

[Marriage Contract with personal details of Ning Yunzhao and Jun Zhenzhen]

This is the engagement for Young Master Ning.

Master Ning?

I know many girls who fantasize about

marrying him.

If Zhenzhen were still here,

this would be so great.

But I must not admit it.

Young Mistress, don't be shy.

Who doesn't know

about this great event?

[Marriage Contract]

- Grandmother, this dish is delicious. Have some. - Okay.

Grandmother, you've been coughing today.

It's better to stay away from oily foods and eat something lighter.

Jun Zhenzhen, you're purposely contradicting me?

Sister, you've misunderstood. I saw it and just casually said something.

Our Jun family owns medical clinics.

Our Young Mistress said it because she understands medicine.

- Your father taught you medicine? - Yes.

It's good to know.

But in the future, don't learn it anymore.

Learn from your sisters how to do business.

My young mistress can learn what she wants.

Why does she have to learn business?

Also, there are men in the Fang family.

Isn't there a young master? Why must the females learn?

- Liu'er. - Our Fang family business

doesn't have anything to do with an outsider!

Grandmother, the Jun family are educated.

There's no way they could have raised a servant like that.

I don't think we need to wait for news from Ru'nan.

While it's still dark, chase them out!

Fine! Don't wait for news from Ru'nan.

- Young Mistress, bring out your contract and let them see! - What are you trying to do?

Enough. What marriage contract?

Bring it out then.

Why? You're a fake,

is your engagement fake also?

[Marriage Contract]

It doesn't look fake.

[Marriage Contract with personal details of Ning Yunzhao and Jun Zhenzhen]

You're engaged to the Ning family?

Yes.

You should have brought it out earlier.

It would have avoided these misunderstandings.

My family is not the same as before.

This engagement is from before.

I don't know if it's still valid.

It can't really be evidence.

You really don't know the Ning family.

Young Master Ning is highly respectable.

He's a respectable person.

Since both family elders agreed to the engagement,

even though the elders have passed, the contract is still valid.

I'll pick a day and bring you over there

to make introductions.

Grandmother, we don't need to do it so quickly.

It's settled.

Eat.

Zhenzhen, taste this fish.

It's a signature dish in Zezhou.

You won't be able to taste it elsewhere.

Thank you, Grandmother.

Jun Zhenzhen!

Pack your things. Go back to Ru'nan!

- The Fang family doesn't welcome you! - What's wrong, Sister Jinxiu?

- Because of your engagement, Grandmother is sick! - What?

Stop pretending to be a good person.

Did you go to Grandmother's room last night

and force her to go to the Ning Mansion today?

I... did go...

Don't explain! No one wants to hear it!

Because of your stupid engagement,

my grandmother was so taunted by the mother and daughter of the Ning family,

that she had chest pain and almost fainted when she came back.

If you still have some respect, pack your things and get out!

- Change the water. - You can't go in.

What else do you want to do to Grandmother?

Have you seen enough? Hurry up and get out.

Stop trying to get involved.

Doctor, how is she?

From her pulse,

Old Madam was angered too much.

Grandmother is heart-stricken.

A relevant solution is needed to fix a worry.

[Ning Manor]

Lady Ning.

Sit.

Your Old Madam has already been here.

Are you here for the same thing?

Yes.

Liu'er.

[Marriage Contract]

It's not that I don't think the engagement is valid,

but that our Old Lord Ning never mentioned this.

Since Old Lord Ning has already passed,

it's hard for me to believe just because you say so.

Even though you don't know, it doesn't mean it's not true.

This marriage contract clearly has Old Lord Ning's signature.

This can't be wrong, right?

Just because it's clearly there, doesn't mean it's real.

Sometimes you can't just do whatever it takes to get things done.

Even if your wish comes true,

you'll suffer for a lifetime.

Since that's the case, then how do you plan to take back this marriage contract

to cancel this engagement?

Young Lady Jun, I've already said,

our Old Lord Ning has never mentioned this.

Did he not mention having his life saved?

Doesn't seem like Lord Ning was that kind of person.

You!

I heard that your family has been practicing medicine here for generations.

I think you've saved countless people,

so how many debts

have you collected?

The Jun family saves people and people pay if they can. If they can't, it doesn't matter.

That's a doctor's right.

But the patients, if they can pay, they should.

If they can't, they should give respect.

You're right.

People should give money and people should receive money.

However, the marriage of someone’s son and daughter should not be used as bargain chips.

That is something that lasts a lifetime.

But Lord Ning didn't give money.

You're lying! My grandfather was definitely not this kind of person!

Back then, Old Lord Ning said he was coming home to get money.

But my grandfather refused again.

But Lord Ning didn't want to lose face

and didn't want to be indebted, so he created this contract.

Lady Ning, if you accept this engagement contract,

then it'll be a marriage agreement. If you don't accept,

then it'll be a contract of debt.

What do you mean?

If you pay the fee for saving his life,

then I shall take back this marriage contract.

Then, we don’t owe each other anything.

Mother, give her the money

and tell her to get out!

Enough. Leave.

- Mother! - Go!

Young Lady Jun, do you feel wronged?

Lady Ning, don't you also feel wronged?

Yes, as a mother, using all this effort

to raise my son, only to be bitten by a wild wolf.

This beast has no feelings.

I can't hit or curse it, yet I'm the one to be cursed and hit.

I do feel wronged and my heart hurts.

As a mother, I can stand it.

But I can't stand it when something like this happens to my kids.

Young Lady Jun, this engagement

is the biggest blessing of your life.

Our Ning family is philanthropic.

Supporting you in this life is hard and makes me sick.

Lady Ning,

being philanthropic is also something that the Jun family does.

Whether they're beggars on the roadside or disaster victims who come to us,

we've always saved people, regardless of who they are.

Back then, if Lord Ning said he had no money, then it wouldn't have mattered.

But now that this engagement has been set and turned us into evil people, we also feel wronged

and sick.

Some things can change and some cannot,

such as a person's fate.

Some people, when they're born, will have a hard life no matter how hard they try for a better life.

- I remember the Ning family paid for the first official title. - How did you know?

You bought people off regardless of their positions and made friends with the Officer of Prefectural Confucian School, right?

Lady Ning, don't panic.

I won't leak this information.

But I would like to tell you,

there are many things that can be solved with money.

Back then, the Ning family bought the official title

to get rid of the low social status.

And now, they bought the marriage contract to get rid of a bad reputation.

Isn't it the same?

Also, 2,000 taels will do.

Young Lady Jun has thought it through.

- Lady Ning, thank you for the compliment. - This business is a good deal.

Go.

Bring 2,000 taels.

Wait.

2,000 taels was the price before. Now it's changed.

5,000 taels.
