[Believe in Love]

[Episode 23]

Be it the innovation,

taste, or texture,

this dish is amazing.

Yes.

I admit my defeat.

Kitchen Fairy,

where did you learn how to cook

this Blessing of The House?

A senior taught me.

I think this dish is qualified

to be the entree of the birthday banquet.

What do you guys think?

I agree.

Sixth Prince,

what do you think?

Okay.

Whatever you say.

(My mother was forced)

(to eat this poisoned dish,)

(and thus, became ill.)

(Hua Yi'nan,)

(I'll have you pay)

(for everything you've done.)

Recently,

why haven't I seen

Sixth Prince's personal guard, Yufeng?

Thank you for your concern.

Yufeng was bitten by a dog

a few days ago.

I thought he couldn't protect me anymore,

so I sent him back to the capital to rest.

That is odd.

The dogs on Huajian Island

are different from those in the capital.

They are obedient and well-behaved.

They rarely bite anyone,

except for those who deserve it.

A dog bit Sixth Prince's guard?

Then we should kill that dog

so that Sixth Prince won't be mad anymore.

Tomorrow at dawn,

His Majesty will arrive at Huajian Island.

Huajian Pavilion shall prepare for

the banquet attentively.

-Yes. -Yes.

Island Master Hua.

Sixth Prince,

how may I help you?

Island Master Hua

doesn't look well today.

So I just want to remind you

to take care of yourself.

Thank you for your concern.

Oh, right,

there's another thing,

my guard reported the other day

that he saw

a scheming burglar

snooping around Yingying's bedroom.

So I ordered my personal guard

to focus more on defense.

So I hope

that Island Master Hua

could also be careful

and beware of those

who have evil intentions.

Island Master,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

Master,

I checked Hua Yi'nan's primordial spirit today.

His primordial spirit is strong.

I guess Seven Leaves Bodhisattva

still remains in his body.

Huajian Pavilion

is so busy tonight.

What are you still doing here alone?

Aren't you here too?

With two cups as well.

I just came out to take a break

from the busy work.

And I happened to bring two cups with me.

Do you remember this place?

Back at the Caiqing Festival,

you were sitting here alone

without a Caiqing Bracelet on your wrist,

looking all pitiable.

Who was looking pitiable?

I didn't have any Caiqing Bracelet

because I didn't want any.

You didn't want any?

Then

give me back the Caiqing Bracelet that I gave you.

Okay, take it back then.

Do you always have it with you?

No.

It's... I was...

Stop there.

No need to explain.

If you keep saying things you don't mean to say,

you'll eventually believe them yourself.

Daisy?

You were in the mood to pick flowers?

Some time ago,

an old friend told me

the meaning of daisies.

Su Tang.

Do you know what it is?

Unspeakable love.

I used to

think that I was brave.

But later, I found out

that I can be hesitant too

about certain things.

Du Ruo,

after the birthday banquet,

will you still leave?

Yes.

Du Ruo.

I... I want to tell you

that I am also tired of staying

at Huajian Pavilion.

If I'm not too annoying to you,

I...

I can...

Come with me.

That's what I've been wanting

to say to you.

Ever since I decided to leave,

I've been wanting to tell you that.

If you don't come with me,

I won't leave either.

Okay.

Then let's leave together.

Okay.

Everything is ready.

Cooked till tomorrow morning,

this dish will be ready to be served.

Who is there?

Master,

as you expected,

Kitchen Fairy switched

the poison you gave her

to some

normal digestive powder.

Did you finish dealing with

the Blessing of The House?

Master, rest assured.

I've put the real poison

into the dish.

What's that?

I followed

Kitchen Fairy

and saw her giving this letter

to Hua Yi'nan.

So I stole it back in time.

(Island Master Hua,)

(there's a thing I've been dying to tell you.)

(But whenever I see you,)

(I just don't know how to say it.)

(I am not Lu Yue'er.)

(And I don't want)

(to pretend to be Lu Yue'er)

(and accept your love.)

(That night, when we drank together,)

(I indeed felt something for you.)

(That's why I want you to know the truth.)

(I'm sorry, Island Master Hua,)

(for having failed your kindness and love.)

(As a remedy,)

(I can only warn you)

(to be extra careful on the birthday banquet.)

(Kitchen Fairy.)

I've already given

you the last chance.

You just didn't cherish it.

You've read the letter.

Why did you come here?

If you only see me

as a substitute for Lu Yue'er,

you can leave now.

You betrayed me at last.

Your Highness.

I knew there was something wrong with you.

The thing you put in the Blessing of The House

was just some harmless powder.

And the real poison I gave you

is here.

Yingying,

why did you betray me?

You know clearly

that I like you.

Your Highness,

do you really think I don't know

that you have been using me?

You...

No matter what,

you can abort your mission.

Your Highness,

please leave Hua Yi'nan alone.

That's impossible.

I can give you two choices now.

You can either follow my plan

and poison the dish then leave,

or

you can make Hua Yi'nan

take this now.

Why would you

betray me?

You are such a disappointment.

Someone.

Take her away.

Wait.

Leave.

Leave!

Master,

I just checked

Kitchen Fairy's primordial spirit.

Seven Leaves Bodhisattva

is in her now.

His Majesty has arrived.

-Long live the Emperor. -Long live the Emperor.

You may rise.

-Thank you, Your Majesty. -Thank you, Your Majesty.

You may take a seat.

-Thank you, Your Majesty. -Thank you, Father.

Huajian Island

is really a nice place.

The people are simple and honest here.

Most importantly,

the food here is amazing.

But unfortunately,

ever since Old Island Master died,

I haven't found the time

to visit here.

My nephew and niece,

how have you been?

Your Majesty,

I've been great.

Your Majesty,

I've been great.

Good.

Yan,

this time, for my birthday banquet,

you came

to Huajian Island in advance specially.

I see that.

And I appreciate it.

It's my honor

to be able to serve you, Father.

Du Ruo,

ever since you left the Imperial Kitchen,

I've been missing the dishes

you cook.

During my stay on Huajian Island,

you have to

show me all your

new dishes.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Island Master.

Island Mistress is missing.

Let me out.

Let me out.

Let me out.

Let me out.

(The birthday banquet starts now.)

It looks nice.

Yes.

Father,

today's Wanfu birthday banquet

was specially

prepared for you by Huajian Island.

All the dishes at the birthday banquet

were newly invented

by Huajian Pavilion.

Especially the entree,

Blessing of The House.

-It also matches the theme of the banquet. -Blessing of The House.

The ingredients include

all kinds of meat and seafood.

It not only tastes amazing

but also is unforgettable.

Open the lid.

Yes.

It smells amazing indeed.

No need.

We can skip that step today.

Come, my dears,

let's try this.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Father, wait.

The dish is poisonous.

Poisonous?

Poisonous?

What?

Someone.

Arrest these two

treacherous traitors.

We're wronged, Your Majesty.

We're wronged.

Your Majesty,

the chef who poisoned the dish,

Tang Yingying,

has fled for fear of being punished.

(This Tang Yingying)

(is the missing Island Mistress.)

Your Majesty, you can interrogate

anyone of Huajian Pavilion.

Your Majesty,

please don't believe a one-sided statement.

Island Master Hua would never

do anything to harm you.

Exactly. Please look into it.

Your Majesty,

once Eunuch Li tests it,

we'll know whether this dish

is poisoned or not.

Let me out.

Let me out.

Your Majesty,

this dish is not poisoned.

Impossible. Not poisoned.

How is it possible?

Because I got rid of

the Blessing of The House

poisoned by you.

Hua Yi'nan,

explain what exactly is going on.

Otherwise, you will be punished.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Here is what happened.

(Sixth Prince)

(sent someone to sneak into the secret chamber in the Library)

(to steal the golden phoenix pouch.)

(I didn't understand)

(why Sixth Prince did so)

(until I read)

(the confession in the golden phoenix pouch.)

(Then I understood everything.)

(So I was sure)

(that Song Yan would seize an opportunity)

(to poison the dish.)

(So I arranged for someone to keep an eye on him.)

(Eventually, I found his subordinate)

(poisoning the Blessing of The House.)

I asked my staff to switch the dish,

only to wait for Sixth Prince to expose himself

at the banquet.

Sixth Prince,

You're caught red-handed.

What more excuses do you have?

Island Master Hua,

I have to give you credit

for this cunning plan.

Your Majesty,

I wanted to help Sixth Prince myself.

So I came up with this plan.

I wanted

Sixth Prince to save you

at the last minute.

So that you

may be impressed by him.

Throughout,

Sixth Prince knew nothing about this.

Please believe me, Your Majesty.

I'm willing to punish myself with death.

It's...

This is...

It's...

Your Majesty,

this is serious.

I don't think it could be done by one man.

I guess...

I guess there was someone behind him.

It's...

Yan.

I would like to hear what you have to say.

Father,

I knew nothing

about this man's deeds.

However,

I chose the wrong person to perform the duty

and this has caused serious trouble.

I deserve to be punished.

Hua Yi'nan,

don't you have a golden phoenix pouch?

Hand it in. I'd like to see it.
