=Episode 33=

There's a spy.

♪ The wind can't breeze the long street of time ♪

About Ruyue,

I wanted to give her a warning.

I didn't mean to help her repair the roof.

Don't misunderstand.

♪ How can I describe it when we look into each other's eyes ♪

You think I was jealous?

Were you?

No.

♪ The first promise means forever love ♪

Has he left?

Yes.

♪ Take a life time to write the story with you ♪

You should've told me.

♪ Our love goes on and on ♪

Just an act.

♪ The day we first met, the year when we get old ♪

Don't take it seriously.

♪ My heart and my love will never vanish ♪

They are deeply in love

with each other?

Yes.

That's true.

In my opinion, we don't have to keep spying

on the relationship between Ning Yuxuan and his wife anymore.

We should start digging from another angle.

What's new with Yuan Lang?

Chief Yuan has been robbing ships.

But according to my source, he hasn't succeeded once.

And every time he was at it, he was quite half-hearted.

With the Dragon Gang's strength, it's impossible for them

to fail every time.

Yuan Lang, it's time for you to face the music.

Get him here.

Yes.

We failed.

There'll be no charge.

I heard the Tea Gang was quite capable,

and that your father Yuan Dingshan was the right-hand man

of Cai Wenzheng.

People say "Like father like son".

I don't believe that you are incapable of doing it.

My father and the Tea Gang are history now.

I only want to lead the elders to live a peaceful life.

You want peace, but the others won't grant you peace.

If Ning Yuxuan finds out the truth, he'll kill you for sure.

I'm a descendant of the Tea Gang.

Ning Yuxuan will find out my identity sooner or later.

But I've prepared to fight him to the end.

There's more to the truth.

What do you mean?

Your father is not only Ning Yuxuan's enemy

but also the entire Tea Gang's.

That's nonsense!

Back then, Cai Wenzheng and Ning Zhongtian

agreed to submit to the court together.

But your father was against the idea.

So, he disguised himself as Cai Wenzheng, met with Ning Zhongtian

and killed him.

Therefore, your father is the sinner of the entire Tea Gang.

No one can slander my father.

Ling Jianxing,

if you dare to insult him again,

I'll kill you right now.

Did I say anything wrong?

I'm only telling the truth.

You can investigate it if you don't believe me.

Yuan Lang, Ning Yuxuan's father was killed by yours.

So, obeying me unconditionally is your only way out.

Otherwise, I'll be more than happy

to tell those elders of the Tea Gang who was the real traitor

that made them homeless.

It matters to your father's reputation.

Think carefully.

Bamboo basket.

Check it out.

It's quite strong.

Man, why have you been looking sad since you came back this time?

You can tell me anything.

I'm fine, Dad.

Don't worry.

You have me.

No matter you need money or people, I'm ready to help.

Since I support you to participate in the Imperial Supplier Contest,

I'll have your back all the way.

Tell me.

It's the second round of the contest now.

We need to make 1,000 bottles of Feiwan Face Cream.

But my shop is extremely shorthanded.

If I need to hire some people whom I can trust,

I…

I wonder

if I can hire the boatmen of Ship Guihai.

The boatmen of Ship Guihai

are indeed trustworthy,

but they are all strong sailors.

I'm afraid they aren't the best fit

for such fine work as making face cream.

It did cross my mind.

But I still have time before the deadline.

So, if I take some time to teach them and let them practice, maybe

they'll be able to do it well.

Alright,

then let's give it a try.

Thank you, Dad.

Let's go.

Mr. Yuan.

Chief Yuan.

- Chief Yuan. - Yuan…

Mr. Ji.

What's wrong?

Why are you so absent-minded?

I'm fine.

You are fine?

Mr. Yuan, you don't look fine.

- Yeah. - Are you… I have things to do.

I've got to go, Mr. Ji.

Mr. Yuan.

What's wrong with him?

Your Lordship.

How's Man

doing?

She's been busy managing her shop as usual.

But she went to the wharf and visited Mr. Ji today.

Visited Mr. Ji?

She went to him for help, I guess.

Now, help me contact a few people.

Don't move.

Lang.

Put down your sword.

Put it down.

Dad.

I was teasing Wu.

That's rude.

Apologize to Wu.

Wu, go back to work.

Yes.

I'm leaving.

Lang, your sword

should be used to fight enemies.

You must remember

that no matter when, you can never point

your sword at your fellow brothers.

Understood?

Dad, I'm sorry.

Line up, guys.

You'll all get one.

Thank you.

Here.

Take it.

Thank you. Thanks.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks. Thank you.

Here.

You told me

not to betray our fellow brothers.

I've got to find out the truth.

Lang, what are you doing here?

Mr. Wu,

I want to see my father.

I thought we talked about this.

You can't come here without my notice.

If your father's whereabouts or your identity is exposed, it'll be

a matter of life and death.

I have something to ask him.

I really need to see him.

Alright. Go ahead.

Father.

Father.

It's me,

Lang.

I came to visit you.

How have you been doing?

Father,

I came here today

because I have a question for you.

Father, please look at me.

Father,

I heard an absurd story lately.

Would you like me

to tell you the story?

Tell a story.

Hear a story.

Lang liked me to tell him stories

when he was little.

Okay.

Tell me the story. I want to hear it.

Okay.

- Okay. - Father,

here's the story.

Once upon a time,

there was a group of people,

and they were good friends.

They fought against the evil and helped the poor together.

They helped a lot of people.

But one day,

the second brother

betrayed the leader,

and this group of people

either died

or got caught.

This group of people had a name.

The Tea Gang.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Where's Lang?

Who on earth are you?

Father,

you disguised yourself as Mr. Cai, killed Ning Zhongtian,

and betrayed the entire Tea Gang, didn't you?

It was you, right?

You betrayed the Tea Gang.

Lang.

Lang, Lang.

What did you say to make him furious like this?

Father,

I only want to hear you say no.

Lang, please leave.

Stop irritating your father.

I'm not leaving!

I want him to tell me the truth in person.

He's become like this.

What can he tell you?

Don't cause trouble anymore.

Father,

I don't believe it.

I don't believe that you'd betray the Tea Gang.

Lang, what are you talking about?

Get him out of here.

Lang, please leave.

Come on.

I'm not leaving.

Wenzheng,

Tiger,

it's my fault.

I'm so sorry.

It's my fault.

My fault.

I'm really sorry.

I… I'm sorry.

(Haoxue Cosmetics)

Miss Shui, I can do this.

Seriously.

I can certainly do this.

Come on. Faster.

What have you done?

You broke it.

How come it's broken?

You said you could do it.

But now you broke it.

I really can do it.

It's not my fault that it's broken.

This… Don't pretend that you can… Don't you dare drag me.

- What are you doing? - How dare you hit me?

You started it first.

Did they hurt you?

Just stop it already.

It's okay.

Don't you hit me.

How arrogant you are.

The ingredients are all ruined by you guys.

We didn't ruin anything.

Excuse me,

let's call it a day.

Please go back first.

Let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Stop blaming others.

Look at you.

Sorry about it.

Stop it.

Sorry.

Let's go.

Stop showing off.

Are you worried about me?

Don't worry.

They may be short-tempered, but they are all very nice

and eager to learn.

Even if it'll take a little longer,

I'm sure they'll learn it eventually.

What brings you here, anyway?

I was just passing by.

I've got everything ready as you asked, Your Lordship.

Besides, Princess Ruyue has been recruiting

experienced female cosmetic formulators in Haifang with high pay.

Those who are good at making face cream

have probably been hired by her.

She pulled the same old tricks again.

Anything about Ling Jianxing?

The spies haven't shown up for days.

I guess

Ling Jianxing no longer suspects you and Her Ladyship.

Then there's no need for us to pretend anymore.

And there's no point for her to keep staying here.

In that case,

we'll pack our stuff these days

and leave the Magistrate's Residence.

That's not what I meant.

I mean,

since… I want to go back to Ship Guihai.

Miss Ji,

there's something urgent that I need you to help me deal with.

What is it?

Come with me.

You press too hard.

Be gentle.

You must be gentle, so the powder will come out finer.

Got it?

Okay.

Ma'am, it's too much. Too much.

Take a little out.

Here.

Okay, take some out.

Put it here.

Okay.

There you are.

Just like that.

Good.

Here.

Ms. Yang's family is running a flower shop.

Ever since we let the Dragon Gang

take over the management of the wharf,

their flowers have arrived every day on time.

Mrs. Ning, nice to meet you.

Your business is booming, right?

Thank you, Mrs. Ning.

We are doing very well.

Ms. Zhou's husband used to be a gambler.

Since we seized Jiumu Casino, her husband found a job at the wharf.

He doesn't gamble anymore, right?

Not anymore.

Mrs. Ning is such a smart woman.

That day when you criticized those men at the casino,

my husband happened to be there.

He was enlightened by your wisdom and courage, and he hasn't

gambled once ever since.

You found them all?

I borrowed Ruyue's method,

and I had Gui Bai find them in secret.

Once they learned that you needed help,

they couldn't wait to come and help you.

I think these people are more suitable for making face cream

than those sailors.

And Ruyue

will never find this out.

Thank you.

You can put a little more white poria cocos.

That's right.

And some more liquorice.

Okay.

I got it.

OK.

My Lady.

My Lady.

You are back.

There's a lot of stuff.

Muxu and I aren't sure what to take.

We need you to make a decision.

It's okay. You decide.

(Practice Makes Perfect)

Everything's the same with Nie Sangyu.

I don't see any difference.

Tell me about it.

I'm also curious.

Your Highness, you've recruited

all the experienced female cosmetic formulators in Haifang.

Where did she find so many helpers?

How come we know nothing about it?

I bet it's Ning Yuxuan who helped her in secret.

What a crafty and sly couple.

They are both troublemakers.

Then what should we do next?

Keeping looking into it, of course.

Also,

we can't let her get her way.

Since she managed to find helpers,

let's give her something else to worry about.

Yes.

Put 5 maces of rose petals and 5 maces of safflower petals.

Oh, don't forget to put 3 maces of… Done.

Girls, you are all talented and capable.

And you are so good at making Feiwan Face Cream.

I'm sure we can deliver our products on time.

That's right.

Be it Mingyue or Ruyue, no one can compare to Her Ladyship.

Exactly.

Let me see.

Put a little bit more, it'll smell… Mrs. Ning.

Okay. Alright.

Give me a second.

Careful.

That smells good.

What's up?

Bad news.

What happened?

I just went to the ceramic kiln house

to fetch the containers for Feiwan Face Cream.

The owner told me that Ruyue reserved

all the ceramic kilns in Haifang.

What?

She wouldn't leave me any chance.

I was being too careless.

Not just the ceramic kilns, she even bought all the containers

from the retail stores.

I asked the store owners who are close to us.

Their containers are all out of stock.

Well… Mrs. Ning, will our Haoxue Cosmetics really be defeated

because of the shortage of containers?

How could it be?

Let's figure out something else.

Are there any spare containers or any substitutes?

Usually, it'll work.

But this is for the Imperial Supplier Contest.

Without proper containers, we'll be at a big disadvantage

in terms of packaging design.

You are right.

Sang Shen,

get my father here.

Go.

Yes, My Lady.

Bro, why did our chief gather us all here suddenly?

Is he going to assign us some work?

Long, what's going on with our chief lately?

He left Haifang in a hurry a while ago,

and then rushed back soon after.

And he's been acting weird ever since he came back.

Did something happen?

Is everybody here?

They are all here.

Good.

I also think Chief has been acting weird.

Chief.

Chief, you gathered all of us here in a hurry.

Is there anything you want us to do?

I gathered all the fellow brothers of the Tea Gang here

because I want to atone for my father's crime.

Crime?

What crime?

Crime of what?

It was my father who betrayed

the entire Tea Gang.

What?

Is that true?

How come?

Lang, what are you talking about?

Why?

My father was the one

who disguised himself as Mr. Cai and killed Ning Zhongtian.

He betrayed the entire Tea Gang

and harmed our brothers.

He's responsible

for all the evildoings.

How's that possible?

It's not possible.

No, there must be a misunderstanding.

There's no misunderstanding.

It's the truth.

I've confirmed it

with my father.

As his son, I should pay his debts.

I, Yuan Lang, am here today

to atone for my father's sin.

Fellow brothers, if you want to avenge your families,

just take it out on me.

Chief.

What are you doing?

Don't you dare!

Kill me if you want.

I will not fight back.

Chief.

Chief.

Back then, the second chief made a mistake.

As a result, the Tea Gang was destroyed, and we ended up homeless.

But today, you are the one

who got us back together and gave us a new Tea Gang.

That's right.

Regardless of the grudge of the last generation, Lang, you saved us

and gave us a new home.

Under your leadership, we help those in need and live a stable life.

That's right, Chief.

Lang, come on, get up.

You too, please get up.

Come on.

Let bygones be bygones.

Lang, since our fellow brothers are willing to follow you, you'll be

our good brother, as well as our good chief.

- Chief. - Chief.

Chief.

My Lady, Mr. Ji is here.

Dad.

Man.

Why do you want to see me in a hurry?

I've got something important to talk to you.

Here, have a seat.

Something important?

Is it about making face cream?

I know nothing about making face cream.

It's not about making face cream, but the face cream bottles.

Bottles?

Here's the thing.

My shop Haoxue Cosmetics

is going to participate in the Imperial Supplier Contest,

and we need to produce 1,000 bottles of Feiwan Face Cream.

But I didn't find out until today

that all the ceramic kilns in Haifang

have been reserved by someone else.

So, I have no other choice but to ask you for help.

You want me to help you ship bottles over by sea?

Time is pressing.

Shipping the bottles by sea could take longer than you expect.

Dad, please think of a way.

When it comes to sea transportation, others may not be able to do it,

but you certainly can.

You are Guihai Warrior, after all.

Alright.

How can I let my daughter down?

I'll send someone right now to purchase the bottles for you by sea,

and I'll have them shipped back as soon as possible.

Really?

I promise I'll have the bottles delivered

to you before the second round of the contest.

That's great.

That's great, Mr. Ji.

Awesome.

I may know nothing about making face cream, but I've never

failed in delivering cargo by sea.

Dad, you are doing me a big favor.

I knew you'd have a way.

Thank you so much.

No need to thank me.

You are my daughter.

Of course I'll help you.

Alright.

Dad, we've cooked lunch.

Please eat something before you go.

Yeah, please.

Maybe next time.

I'll go to the wharf right now and take care of the shipping thing.

Thank you, Mr. Ji.

Dad, you won't eat anything?

Thank you, Mr. Ji.

Business comes first.

That's great.

So great.

Guihai Warrior indeed lives up to his reputation.

The bottle problem was resolved so quickly.

Tell me about it.

Mr. Ji didn't even have time for lunch.

Let's get him a gift to thank him.

Okay.

Let's go.

What's wrong with him?

- What's wrong? - What happened to him?

There's blood.

Why is he bleeding?

You'll be fine.

How's Gui Bai?

Your Lordship.

- Gui Bai. - It's not looking good.

Where's the doctor?

Didn't you call the doctor?

The doctor is on his way over.

Gui Bai.

- You'll be fine. - Gui Bai.

Gui Bai, you are safe now.

It's okay. It'll be fine.

How did he get hurt?

I'm not sure.

I took Muxu to buy a gift for Mr. Ji.

And then I heard someone got hurt.

When I walked over, I found him fainted on the ground.

Gui Bai.

Crossbow.

Gui Bai.

Gui Bai, wake up.

Gui Bai.

The shooting range of crossbow is quite short.

He was ambushed.

Ambushed?

Ambushed… Mr. Ning, maybe he got hurt because of me.

My former fiancé Qian Yiming has been following me lately.

And Gui Bai has been protecting me these days.

I think it's Qian Yiming who hurt him.

It's got to be him.

Qian Yiming.

Gui Bai.

Gui Bai.

Gui Bai.

Take good care of him.

I'll investigate it myself.

Gui Bai.

Gui Bai.

Gui Bai.

You'll be fine.

Miss Shui, the medicine has just been delivered.

It's all here.

You'll be fine, Gui Bai.

You'll be fine.

Gui Bai. Gui Bai.

No.

This medicine is not working.

It's not working.

Then what do we do?

I have a formula.

Muxu, please help me get the medicine.

Go.

Okay.

You are being followed.

Gui Bai.

Run.

- Run. - Gui Bai.

I'm here. I'm here.

Gui Bai.

You are not safe here.

Leave it to me.

I'm here. I'm fine.

Run.

Gui Bai.

Run. Run.

- What did you say? - Run.

Run.

As a shadow guard… As a shadow guard,

I don't wish to be with you forever.

I only want

to protect you for a lifetime.

Protect you for a lifetime.

Protect you for a lifetime.

I want to protect you for a lifetime.

Miss Shui, let me protect you for a lifetime.

You fool.

So what if you are a shadow guard?

Love is love.

Let me protect you for a lifetime.

Shadow guards don't deserve love and happiness?

A lifetime.

I want to protect you for a lifetime.

I know.

I know.

I want to protect you for a lifetime.

Sir.

Sir, I need to get some herbs.

Sure. What do you need?

30 maces of camphor, 30 maces of rosin,

3 maces of musk, 3 maces of mastic, one mace of catechu,

and 3 maces of borneol.

Please hurry.

Are you sure this formula is correct?

You could remember it clearly

just by eavesdropping?

Your Highness, don't forget that I'm from a family of pharmacists.

I'm familiar with all kinds of herbs and I can recite them all.

I can tell the purpose of the medicine just by hearing the formula.

(Traumatic Medicine Formula)

What do you think of this formula then?

This formula is indeed special.

Looks like coming all the way to Haifang is worth it.

Speaking of which, I should thank you for your plan.

Not only did you hurt Gui Bai and help me vent my resentment,

but you also helped me get the formula easily.

But it's a formula for medicine.

Can I use it for my face cream?

As long as the formula is correct, it should work.

Fine.

Then I'll let you confirm the formula and concoct the face cream.

Your Highness, rest assured.

I won't let you and Mr. Ling down.

Put the vegetables here.

Over here.

Okay.

Here. Put them here.

About 5 catties of vegetables.

Put the vegetables and fruits here.

Alright.

5 catties of apple.

Okay, put them here.

Okay.

Man.

Dad.

Dad.

Man, you don't have to be here and help me.

Just focus on the contest preparation.

What?

You helped me, and I can't lend you a hand?

You've packed all your stuff, right?

When will you move back?

Almost done.

I'm really worried

that you young people will act on impulse and do something stupid.

The longer you stay with Ning Yuxuan,

the harder it is for you to leave him.

I know, Dad.

A new batch of provisions just arrived.

I'll go have a look.

Man.

Ji Ming.

Xiangyuan.

What brings you here?

His Majesty ordered me to come to Haifang for some business.

I see.

Man.

Coming, Dad.

What's up?

Say hi to Mr. Nie.

Man.

Mr. Nie has known about your situation.

Mr. Nie, I'm sorry.

I fell into the water and lost my memory.

And I entered the Marquis's Mansion by accident.

That's why…

That's why I kept my identity from you.

She looks so much like her.

The resemblance is uncanny.

Except for parents and immediate family, no one can tell

the difference between them.

Even I

have a hard time telling the difference.

Looking at Man is like looking at Sangyu.

It's such a pity

that she died so young.
