=The Legend of Jinyan=

(Episode 23)

They are discussing the urgent military situation in the northern border.

You can't enter the hall.

Alright.

Can you please tell Prince Yu

to visit the mid-lake island with me tonight?

Faced with military affairs,

Prince Yu won't have time.

Alright.

I will come to him another day.

Jinyan.

I

will relay your message.

Really?

Guard Zhong is usually mean to you.

But he's being a friend at this critical time.

I can't thank you enough.

(Xu: the period of the day from 7 PM to 9 PM) Tell Prince Yu to come at the time of Xu

and not to show up late.

Yes.

(Qinzheng Hall)

Those people consider themselves senior officials who have served two emperors.

But they have blundered in times like this.

This is tricky.

Zhong Li.

Summon Duke An.

Where is he?

Your Highness.

I don't know where Guard Zhong is.

Go find him.

Yes.

Xiaoxizi.

Go find Guard Zhong.

Prince Yu has an order for him.

Your Highness.

You didn't visit the mid-lake island?

Why would I visit the mid-lake island?

Miss Jinyan asked you to meet with her

on the mid-lake island at the time of Xu.

You were busy then.

Guard Zhong said he'd relay her message.

Didn't he tell you?

It's past the time of Xu.

Why is Prince Yu still not here?

I'm starving.

Nah, I should wait for him.

No water?

I will fetch some water.

My crime is punishable by death.

Jinyan. Jinyan.

Jinyan, wake up.

I'm telling you to wake up. Do you hear me?

Jinyan.

Why did you betray me?

You and I were like brothers.

I saw you as my confidant.

Why did you betray me? Say it!

Jinyan. Jinyan.

Jinyan.

Are you okay?

Can you two fight later?

Are you okay?

I'm feeling ill.

Summon an imperial doctor.

How is she?

Your Highness,

Jinyan was rescued in time.

She is fine.

She just inhaled some water

and caught a cold.

Good.

I'll write a prescription for keeping her warm.

You must not make light of her situation.

You and the other doctors will determine the most effective drug and bring it here.

Yes.

Get in here!

What do you have

to say for yourself?

I have nothing to say.

Then die for your crime.

Yes.

Kneel!

You are pushing me.

Good.

Good for you! Zhong Li.

You have got a backbone, commander of the Palace Guards.

Servants.

Take him out and flog him!

Li Chaohai.

Why aren't you moving? Are you dead?

Eunuch Li.

Sorry for the trouble.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Guard Zhong has always been loyal.

This must be a misunderstanding.

Nobody can plead for him,

unless they seek punishment.

Are we flogging him for real?

But...

But this is Guard Zhong.

I can't bring myself to flog him.

Didn't you hear Prince Yu's order?

Execute the punishment.

But if Prince Yu

cools down later,

he will get even with me.

Father,

Prince Yu values you more.

You should do it.

Sons are brought up to support their parents in their old age.

Flog him.

Get on with it.

If none of you dare to do it...

Your Highness.

I will do it myself.

Your Highness.

Your Highness. This...

Your Highness, please calm down.

Are you aware of your crime?

I'm aware of my crime.

I accept my punishment.

Fine.

You want a flogging so bad.

I will grant your wish.

What's your crime?

I went against my prince's wish

and lied to my prince.

As my subject,

you must be loyal and never disobey me.

What you did today

was a betrayal of me.

Your Highness.

Surely, Guard Zhong

has his own reason.

Shut up.

I

have never betrayed you.

If you think I'm disloyal,

I will die for my crime.

Die?

Your life isn't enough

to pay for your crime.

Your Highness!

All of you, get out of my face!

You,

get back to Zhong's Mansion.

I don't wish to see you again.

I know this is a treacherous world.

But I never expected him

to hurt you.

Why him?

(Dongnuan Pavilion)

Your Highness.

Guard Zhong has knelt for a whole night.

He likes to kneel.

Let him be.

Guard Zhong said

since you refused to see him,

it wouldn't be appropriate for him to serve you here

and he asked to resign as the commander of the Palace Guards

and be demoted to Third-Class Guard

at Changmen Pavilion.

Your highness.

Guard Zhong has always been loyal to you.

But now...

Approved.

Zhong Li, the commander of the Palace Guards,

disobeyed the Sovereign Prince. He doesn't deserve his position.

He will be demoted to Third-Class Guard

and banished to Changmen Pavilion.

He will not leave the mansion without a permit.

Your Highness.

Even you disobey me?

I

dare not.

I will follow your order.

Come back.

Get out.

Guard Zhong.

Why torture yourself?

Just make a concession to Prince Yu.

As per Prince Yu's oral instruction,

Zhong Li shall be banished to Changmen Pavilion

and demoted to Third-Class Guard.

He shall not leave the mansion

without a permit.

You're awake?

Are you still feeling ill?

Water.

Water?

Does your chest still hurt?

What time is it?

It's the time of Xu.

I should help you bed down, Your Highness.

I will sleep in the western pavilion.

But...

If you feel ill,

send a servant to call me.

Zhong Li.

Zhong...

Your Highness.

Guard Zhong has been banished to Changmen Pavilion by you.

Have you forgotten?

Changmen Pavilion?

He hurt you.

He deserved the punishment.

But that day...

Don't mention it.

I said

nobody could plead for him.

Just have a good rest.

Stop worrying unnecessarily.

(Qinzheng Hall)

Haven't I said it already?

The Elite Battalion, Calvary Battalion, and Firearm Battalion

have different duties

and the Ministry of War allocates provisions to them uniformly.

Why did you submit a memorial

asking to allocate the suburban military land?

Your Highness,

I have always been in charge of the security of the Palace Guards.

As for provisions,

Guard Zhong was in charge of provision allocation.

Your Highness,

Guard Zhong did take care

of these trivial matters for you.

Without Zhong Li,

none of you can do your job. Is that so?

You are dismissed.

Yes.

Your Highness.

It's time for lunch.

Eunuch Li.

Miss,

you have finally shown up.

How is your health?

I'm fine. I have recovered.

Good.

Good to see you here.

Finally, we can get someone to comfort Prince Yu.

What's wrong with Prince Yu?

Hasn't he ordered the servants to bring in lunch?

He already ordered.

But he had no appetite. So he asked them to leave.

Prince Yu has been fasting

and reprimanding everyone he saw recently.

He always reprimands everyone he sees.

Guard Zhong followed Prince Yu for many years.

Now he is gone suddenly.

Naturally, Prince Yu isn't accustomed to his absence.

But his abstention from food

will make his health decline.

Jinyan,

he favors you the most.

Please try to comfort Prince Yu.

Okay.

I will try.

I'm not eating. Take it away.

You aren't eating? I will eat.

Why are you here?

Have you recovered?

Yes, I have.

You just recovered.

You shouldn't run around.

If your illness lingers,

I will hold you accountable.

People's appetite increases when they are recuperating.

So, I came here for some food.

You aren't eating?

I'm not hungry.

It smells so good.

If you are hungry, then eat it.

It's really good.

I thought you came to comfort me.

I never expected...

No.

Your Highness, you think too much.

I really came for food.

You...

Have you got any appetite for dinner?

If not,

I can eat for you.

Li Chaohai.

Bring in lunch.

28 dishes.

Not one less.

What exactly happened between Prince Yu and Guard Zhong?

Well...

You fell into the lake that day.

And Guard Zhong admitted to his crime.

He admitted that he hurt you.

It enraged Prince Yu

and he banished Guard Zhong to Changmen Pavilion.

What?

I was feeling dizzy that day.

Guard Zhong saved me.

Help!

That day, I thought someone was behind me

and I panicked so much

that I fell into the lake.

I vaguely recall seeing a man on the shore.

Then he entered the lake to save me

and I realized he was Guard Zhong.

He has been banished to Changmen Pavilion because of me?

Yeah.

But why was Guard Zhong on the mid-lake island?

Is there a misunderstanding?

Didn't Prince Yu ask about the details?

Guard Zhong knelt outside Dongnuan Pavilion for a long time that day.

But Prince Yu refused to see Guard Zhong.

I see.

How about this?

Tell Guard Zhong

that Prince Yu ordered him to visit the pavilion today at the time of Shen.

But Prince Yu didn't give such an order.

I have a plan.

Prince Yu has arrived.

I pay respect to you, Your Highness.

What?

You can't keep still?

I was bored in my pavilion.

Your Highness, I think

I saw many parts of the mansion

in my dream last night.

Such as?

Such as Taiye Pond, the observatory,

and most importantly,

the Qinzheng Hall.

Grind ink.

Zhong...

Guard Zhong.

Guard Zhong.

Prince Yu...

Prince Yu ordered you to...

Li Chaohai.

What time is it?

The time of Shen. What do you need?

I'll go to the hall later.

Yes.

You taught me the sword dance in my dream.

That sounds like a weird dream.

No, it's a very good dream.

Your Highness, let's go.

Your Highness, that was a wrong step you took.

I'm tired.

Have you learned it?

Practice alone.

Stop gaping. Hurry up.

You call that the sword dance?

I forgot it. So I improvised.

Try again.

No. No. No.

No. No.

I have to take a rest.

You are weak.

When Zhong Li practiced sword fighting with me,

he never said he was tired even after practicing for many hours.

If Guard Zhong is that good,

you should call him back.

Since you feel so reluctant,

you'd better find another practice partner.

Guard Zhong.

Catch the sword!

Hold back from attacking again

and you will offend me.

Your Highness.

I beg your pardon.

It hurts.

Miss. Are you okay, miss?

It hurts.

What's wrong?

My stomach hurts so much.

Guard Zhong, please pour a cup of water for me.
