"The Twin Flower Legend"

Episode 11

Guang Qian.

Miss Yuan, I came today...

to advise you to stop wasting your time on me.

Goodbye.

Guang Qian!

-Miss Yuan! -You're not allowed to leave!

Fei Yan.

Father.

My lord.

Father.

Do you think that...

you could defy the emperor's order...

by destroying your own chastity?

You even went as far as to jeopardise the entire Yuan family.

But I love him.

Foolish child.

Is it worth it?

How do you think I found out?

Was it Guang Qian?

Guang Qian, you...

I want to hear it from you.

Was it you?

Was it really you?

Say something!

I'm sorry.

All I wish for...

is my true love...

who I would never leave...

until the end of time.

-Shi Qing Pei. -Yes.

Send men to Li Rui Pavilion...

to protect Miss Yuan.

Yes.

From today onwards,

Song Ming Lei is promoted to the position of secretary.

I grant him an individual residence.

Thank you, my lord.

I shall serve you faithfully...

to repay you.

I don't want to go to Yuan mansion for revenge!

If you don't avenge them,

they'll follow you forever...

and never rest in peace!

His Lordship ordered not to let anyone enter without his permission.

Give it to me.

-You may leave. -Yes.

Brother Guang Qian.

Congratulations on your promotion.

Greetings, Young Lord Fei Qing.

I once swore...

to share my future success with you.

But look at what you did.

For the sake of your own future,

you hurt my sister.

I guess I was...

wrong about you.

Young Lord Fei Qing.

Do you know the consequence...

for acting as Miss Yuan wished?

Miss Yuan would be sentenced to death...

and the entire Yuan family would get into trouble...

including you.

There is no greater joy than...

meeting a like-minded person.

Young Lord Fei Qing.

I...

have never forgotten.

Greetings, Young Lord Fei Qing. Greetings, Secretary Song.

Your Majesty.

I saw...

a group of dancing masked witches in my dream.

It was the most terrifying dance I had ever seen in my life.

They stabbed me with knives.

Blood.

I'm going to die.

I'm going to die.

Your Majesty, this is such a strange dream.

It must be a sign.

Witchcraft. It's witchcraft.

-Move! -Make way!

-Move! -Make way!

-This is a bad sign! -We got to leave!

-Search! -Hurry!

Search!

-Search that corner! -Yes!

This way!

Search!

Seize her!

How dare you!

Bring me all the information about Yuan family you collected.

Welcome back, Young Master.

One day, Yuan Qing Jiang will regret...

giving me this position tonight.

It's you again.

How did you know that I was falling down?

You screamed so loudly.

I heard you from afar.

Your ears are...

as sharp as your nose.

The soil here smells so good.

It's like the smell on you.

This is my new vegetable garden.

I planted cauliflower at the left and carrot at the right.

There's celtuce in the middle.

Celtuce salad is really great during summer days.

You're growing vegetables for yourself.

Are you not getting enough food?

It's not like that, Young Lord Fei Jue.

Maids of the General Affairs Bureau always prepare extra food.

This flatbread was freshly made by my Gong Yue chef in Yu Bei Zhai.

It might not suit the palate of you Central Plain people,

but it can at least satisfy your hunger.

It smells so good.

It's so good.

I'll order my chef to make it for you every day.

Young Lord Fei Jue, you're so nice.

But, you shouldn't come to our little cottage every day.

This is where the servants live.

Can't I make friends with the servants?

Let that bedridden girl try our flatbread!

You mean, Bi Ying?

I'll pass it to her right away.

-Madam Lian. -Sister! No!

-Sister! -Madam Lian!

-Madam Lian. -Hurry!

Madam Lian.

Madam Lian.

There's blood!

Blood!

Look after Madam Lian. I'll go get the physician.

Young Lord Fei Jue, don't...

I'm sorry. I...

I just wanted to help out.

I appreciate it, Young Lord Fei Jue.

But don't worry.

I'll just have to wash the clothes again.

Let me help you.

No.

Please just sit here.

Don't make it worse.

For some reason,

whenever you're around,

I feel at ease.

Here in Zi Yuan, people treat me as an outsider.

I haven't made a single friend in 10 years.

Mu Tou Hua, you're my only friend in Zi Yuan.

Young Lord Fei Jue.

Here, you have your father,

brothers, older sister and Guo Er Ren.

How could you say that you've no friends?

Guo Er Ren...

tells me to train hard all the time.

He's always talking about returning to the Western Region...

to inherit the throne in Gong Yue.

I'm sick of hearing all that.

What's worse is that...

he wouldn't let me make friends with anyone!

Life is so boring.

Guo Er Ren is just trying to help you.

When you inherit the throne of Gong Yue in the future,

you'll be a strong and brave king.

I do understand.

But I still need a break at times.

Luckily, I'm good enough...

to run away from Guo Er Ren...

and come here to meet you.

Even if I lose all my memory one day,

I won't forget you.

Because from now on,

you're mine.

Young Lord Fei Jue.

Please mind your words.

Young Lord Fei Jue.

You've grown up, Young Master.

I won't restrict you anymore.

But I have one condition.

Please stop going to the General Affairs Bureau...

to see that suspicious girl.

She's no suspicious girl.

She's my Mu Tou Hua. Her name is Hua Mu Jin.

I already held her hand today and told her that...

she's mine.

You can't say that, Young Master.

Young Master, what are you doing?

Don't you remember why we came all the way to the Central Plain?

-Have you forgotten? -I've never forgotten.

I train so hard every day...

because I know that I need to save my faraway homeland.

But this doesn't mean I can't love Mu Tou Hua at the same time!

What do you think?

My lord, His Majesty found a voodoo doll...

in Empress Lian's palace.

Then he ordered to hang Empress Lian,

confine the Third Prince and investigate Lian family.

He even revoked your rights to supervise the Martial Examination.

It's apparent that...

it was the work of Dou Ying Hua and Noble Consort Zhang.

Their next target...

must be Yuan family.

Yes.

My lord.

Liu Yan Sheng just said that...

you should lead a coup...

in accordance with the people's wish...

instead of just giving up.

Liu Yan Sheng said so...

because he was from Lian family.

Lian family was executed...

and it's understandable that he desires vengeance.

My Lord, Secretary Song is here.

-Let him in. -Yes.

The duke would like to see you now.

Greetings, my lord.

I did not dare to comment during the meeting earlier today.

However, I do have some suggestions.

Would you like to hear me out?

Speak.

Earlier today, somebody suggested that...

we could attack Bian City with nothing to worry about.

But in my opinion,

Noble Consort Zhang and her faction must have been so bold...

because they are fully prepared...

to get rid of Lian family's strongest relative, Yuan family.

If we attack so hastily,

His Majesty will be convinced that Yuan family is treacherous.

What else?

Despite the major change in political power,

the Martial Examination is still being held as scheduled.

This is suspicious.

Perhaps, Noble Consort Zhang and her faction...

are trying to take the opportunity to garner support for the Fourth Prince.

Or maybe they are trying to take the opportunity...

to get rid of the Fourth Prince's enemies.

Therefore, Yuan family must not fall for their trap.

It is advisable to stay put and clear His Majesty's doubts.

Go on.

We should observe the situation to protect ourselves for now...

and make a move or take risks only when we are well-prepared.

My lord, Madam Lian fell sick due to extreme grief...

that led to bad blood circulation.

I've written a prescription.

She will recover after taking the medicine for 3 days.

However, her body is cold in nature.

She needs attentive care...

especially in the later stage of her pregnancy.

I get it.

Lian family...

perished just like that.

Lian family perished just like that.

-Shi Qing Pei. -Yes.

Tell Fei Qing to escort the candidates of...

the Martial Examination to the capital.

Yes.

For now,

I'll stay in Rong Bao Hall to accompany my wife.

One more thing.

Send more Martial Art Maidens to look after Madam Lian.

Yes, my lord.

"Zhi Xi Villa"

-Greetings, Young Lord Fei Qing. -Greetings, Young Lord Fei Qing.

How's preparation?

Everything is ready, Young Lord Fei Qing.

Good. Depart!

Goodbye.

Brother Fei Yan!

Brother Fei Yan!

Wait, Brother Fei Yan!

Mu Jin.

Brother Fei Yan.

I thought I wouldn't get to see you before I leave.

Brother Fei Yan, I stayed up to make this pair of shoes for you.

Although I'm not good at this,

I believe you'll emerge as the champion...

in the Martial Examination in these shoes.

Alright.

Brother Ming Lei. Jin Xiu. Mu Jin.

Take good care of Bi Ying.

I'll do my best to protect all of you.

Brother Fei Yan!

Take care!

Three days from now,

the Martial Examination will be held.

During the finals,

His Majesty would proceed to the observatory to watch.

According to my spies in Yuan family,

Yuan family is at a loss as to what to do.

Yuan Qing Jiang's wife...

nearly had a miscarriage because of what happened.

Yuan Qing Jiang is busy looking after his family.

He has no time to organise troops for the Martial Examination.

God is on our side.

On the day of the Martial Examination,

the Fourth Prince shall ascend the throne.

Brother Ming Lei? That's impossible!

What makes you say so?

Miss Yuan attempted to defy the emperor's order...

and elope with your brother.

To her surprise, your brother told the duke about her plan.

The duke put Miss Yuan under house arrest...

and your brother earned the position of the duke's secretary.

No way.

Brother Ming Lei wouldn't have done that.

It's all Xiao Wu Yi's fault.

Hua Jin Xiu.

Li Rui Pavilion doesn't need Martial Art Maidens anymore.

But there are openings at Madam Lian's place.

You may report to Rong Bao Hall tomorrow.

Why are you still here?

I'll leave after packing up.

This is karma.

I got this flatbread from Young Lord Fei Jue.

I specially saved some for you and Brother Fei Yan.

But Brother Fei Yan has left.

So you can eat more, Jin Xiu.

I'm not hungry.

Just have some. It's pretty good.

Mu Jin.

What do we do if the court seizes Zi Yuan?

That's just a rumour.

Don't worry. The duke will protect Yuan family.

-Mu Jin. -Brother Ming Lei.

Brother Ming Lei.

We were all waiting for you.

I came to say goodbye.

Where are you going?

I was officially promoted to the position of secretary today.

Mu Jin, your prediction came true.

Brother Ming Lei.

Your shoes. You left them here that day.

Don't just stand there. Sit down.

I can't believe you earned a good position...

-so soon. -Jin Xiu.

From now on, you don't have to be a servant.

I receive 20 taels every month.

You can take it all for treatment.

Thank you, but I'm fine.

Save the money for yourself.

You'll need it when you get married in the future.

What are you saying? It's the present that matters.

Brother Ming Lei.

Thank you, Mu Jin.

Sister Bi Ying.

Brother Ming Lei, we only care about the present.

Let's have a toast. Cheers.

My biggest wish...

is to stay with you all forever.

I love to listen to your military strategies...

and see your intriguing inventions.

It can't be helped since we've similar personalities.

Come. Cheers.

Count me in.

Brother Ming Lei, you owe your success to two people.

The first person is Mu Jin who told him the military strategy.

Without her, he wouldn't become the champion of the Written Test.

The second person is Miss Yuan.

Jin Xiu, what are you saying?

Let me tell you a story on behalf of Brother Ming Lei.

Miss Yuan loves Brother Ming Lei.

Yet, the emperor betrothed her to another man.

In distress, Miss Yuan attempted to elope with Brother Ming Lei.

I don't know what happened in Li Rui Pavilion that night.

But the next morning, Miss Yuan was put under house arrest...

and all maids were dismissed.

I was transferred back to Rong Bao Hall...

while Brother Ming Lei was promoted to the duke's secretary.

-Jin Xiu. -You really had it easy.

What's so bad about Rong Bao Hall?

Li Rui Pavilion isn't even the right place for you, isn't it?

You claimed that you don't desire fame and fortune.

Yet, you rose the fastest among us.

I bet you'd even sacrifice us for yourself in the future.

Jin Xiu!

Goodbye.

Brother Ming Lei.

Jin Xiu, is this a misunderstanding?

He wouldn't have done that.

Jin Xiu, who told you that?

How could you say that about Brother Ming Lei?

Am I not allowed to talk about it when he's allowed to be so shameless?

Apologise to Brother Ming Lei at once.

Are you really my sister?

Sister Bi Ying!

What's so bad about Rong Bao Hall?

Li Rui Pavilion isn't even the right place for you, isn't it?

I clearly know that...

you won't come here anymore.

Yet, I still came.

I don't want to harm Xiao Wu Yi.

But why is it that...

I'm living in agony...

when everyone else...

is doing great?

As long as I'm alive,

I must not give up.

Mr. Physician.

What exactly is Bi Ying suffering from?

She's sickly since the beginning.

Her distress on top of that...

caused her to faint.

I've written an effective prescription for her.

However, an expensive ingredient is needed.

I don't know if you all can get hold of it.

It's the ingredient I circled.

This thing is so convenient.

-Look at my hands. -Enough. Stop flattering yourself.

Mu Tou Hua.

What's the matter?

Bi Ying is sick.

The physician gave me a prescription last night.

But one of the ingredients for the medicine is gadfly.

I went to the pharmacy in the morning.

They said that gadfly is poisonous...

and that they don't stock up on it anymore.

There's a lot of herbs in Zi Yuan's infirmary.

Maybe there's gadfly too.

But herbs in Zi Yuan are for the masters only.

Even if they have it, we can't...

-Yes. -Exactly.

We're just lowly servants.

We do have gadfly.

But it's for the masters only.

Mr. Physician, you can take all my money.

Just give me a few gadflies.

Is a servant like you allowed in here?

Leave at once.

But my sister really needs some gadflies.

Don't waste your breath. Leave.

Leave.

Aunt Xie.

Hey you, bring me Young Lord Fei Bai's medicine.

Hurry up.

Where's the rest?

Here you go.

This is Young Lord Fei Bai's medicine.

It was prepared using the best herbs.

This is my gift for Young Lord Fei Bai.

Please accept it.

-Alright. -Please accept it.

Why are you still standing here? Leave already!

Leave! Leave at once!

-I... -Leave!

Leave!

-Leave. -Mr. Physician.

Please save my sister.

Why did you have to kneel?

Leave! I want you to leave!

-Leave! -I...

Have a safe trip.

Have a safe trip.

You're still kneeling here?

I won't give you the medicine even if you kneel until tomorrow.

Listen carefully!

During the Martial Examination,

the city is locked down!

Only candidates of the Martial Examination...

and the locals may enter the city!

Others are not allowed to enter the city!

Go.

-What are you here for? -I'm visiting my relatives.

Leave!

Look. They're so strict.

Something's fishy.

Wait.

I'm Liu An from Jin Zhong.

I'm here to take part in the Martial Examination.

I'm Zhao Hu from Jiang Yin.

This is my Martial Examination slip.

Go.

Stop. What are you here for?

Sir.

We live in Bian City.

As you can see, we're back from a business trip.

-This is my identity tag. -Here's mine.

Alright. You may pass.

I, Hua Jin Xiu, have come to report to work.

In the end,

you still came back, Jin Xiu.

You were the champion in Yuan family's Martial Art Tournament?

Yes.

Since you're back, you may go unpack now.

Yes.

Come.

It's less bitter now.

Hua Jin Xiu, where are you going?

This way, my lord.

Greetings, my lord.

Ms. Mu Jin.

Why do they want the Martial Examination slips?

Looks like the city guards were sent by Dou Ying Hua.

Once a candidate enters the city,

they'll inform the assassins.

The assassins will then tail and murder the candidate,

so that they may replace him in the examination.

More than 800 armed men...

will be taking part in the Martial Examination tomorrow.

If all of them are replaced by Dou Ying Hua's assassins,

it's a coup d'etat.

We can't take the Indian summer lightly at all.

Young lady, you knelt under the sun for more than 2 hours.

You're down with heatstroke.

Young lady.

Thank you for saving me. Dr. Lin.

Young lady, this is herbal tea for relieving heat.

I've chilled it with ice.

Dr. Lin, please save my sister.

Don't worry, young lady.

This... This is too much.

You can have all.

Mr. Physician, I don't need so much of it.

I just need a few.

This is old stock. We'll receive a new batch soon.

You can have it all.

Just take it.

You've saved me thrice. I'll never forget your kindness.

I'm just doing my job as a physician.

Where's the chilled fruit, old man?

Over there.

We're saved!
