"The Twin Flower Legend"

Episode 18

General, Yu Fei Yan is indeed brave.

He didn't even mobilise his troops.

With just dozens of them, they took down ten of our generals,

and injured more than 200 of our people.

What should we do with him getting in our way?

General.

Inform Hu Yong to call off the operation!

-Fall back! -Fall back!

Commander Hu, we have set up the ambush.

All right.

Convey my order and act at once.

Commander Hu.

Didn't Prime Minister Dou tell us to wait for Pan Zheng Yue?

Pan Zheng Yue is an unruly commander.

If we attack Zi Yuan with him,

will Dou Ying Hua give me the credit?

Convey my order.

Act at once.

Yes.

I remember...

I fell off the branches.

A nasty scumbag was laughing beside me.

Also, I remember...

back at Xi Feng Court,

I fought with Fei Bai for you.

Young Lord Fei Jue!

Do you still remember...

each...

and every single thing I said?

After returning to Gong Yue,

be nice to the queen.

Be a good emperor.

You'll come to see me, right?

We'll meet again, right?

Mu.

After I become the emperor,

the first thing I do is to take over the Eastern Royal Court!

Are you out of your mind? Take a seat!

I want to take over the Eastern Royal Court,

so that I can see you all the time.

Your father is a member of the Eastern Royal Court.

Don't you care about your father?

Right.

My father is a member of the Eastern Royal Court.

You merely had a few cups of water,

and staring spouting nonsense already.

I've had too much to drink.

That's not right.

I remember it was water.

I'm not drunk.

I want to defeat Yuan Fei Bai!

I'm going to take you from him!

Mu, I'll walk the talk!

Let's make a toast.

Stop drinking.

It's just water.

Why are you talking nonsense?

I have a high alcohol tolerance.

I wouldn't get drunk that easily.

I feel so dizzy.

Mu is going to leave me.

This must be a dream.

I want to drink some more.

I'll only sober up after having too much to drink.

Mu will still be by my side.

This wine tastes so awful.

Fei Jue!

Fei Jue!

Bi Ying!

Making fun of me, huh? You can't even hold your liquor well.

Look at you.

Director Liu.

There's someone here. -Someone?

Where?

Who is it?

Let's go in front and have a few more drinks.

All right.

Let's go.

Return to West Battalion and call for back up!

People, after him!

The rest come with me.

What's the matter?

-Take him down! Don't let him escape! -Stop!

The enemies are here! Close the gate!

-Hurry! -Come in!

-The enemy is coming! -Hurry!

The enemy is coming!

Wait up! I'm Director Liu!

Close the gate! I'll deliver the news!

-Yes! -Hurry! Release the arrows!

"Zi Qi Villa"

There's indeed someone on the inside!

The enemy is coming! Escape through the back of the mountains!

-Run! -Run!

Didn't I tell you not to follow me?

I'm worried about your safety.

-What danger would I be in? -Close the gate! Hurry!

Invasion by the South state!

-Hurry! -Zi Yuan is in danger!

Don't let Southerners enter the city

Invasion by the South state! Zi Yuan is in danger!!

Don't let Southerners enter the city!

Instructor Lian!

It's Instructor Lian! What do we do?

The Southerners?

Aren't we the Southerners?

That's not right.

Why haven't I seen Hu Yong around?

Miss Yuan, come with me!

-I'll protect you! -Through the back of the mountains!

-Where's Young Lord Fei Jue? -At the back!

Come on! To his rescue!

Hurry!

Ms. Mu, are you all right?

Mr. Guo, take them with you.

What about you?

It's hard enough leaving with two unconscious people.

If you take me with you as well, none of us can get away.

Don't worry. I'm not severely poisoned.

I can still hold on.

-I'm going to find Aunt Xie now. -Be careful.

Leave!

Protect Ms. Mu! Leave!

Leave, Ms. Mu!

Leave!

Ms. Mu, leave!

Aunt Xie!

-Mother! -Aunt Xie, open up!

Aunt Xie!

Protect Ms. Mu!

Have her delivered to Young Lord Fei Bai safely!

-Mother! -Aunt Xie!

-Mother! -Aunt Xie!

Leave!

-Let's go! -Aunt Xie!

Su Hui!

Hurry! Leave!

Aunt Xie!

Aunt Xie!

Have her delivered to Young Lord Fei Bai.

Hurry! After them!

Stop!

Wei Hu, take Mu with you.

I'll take care of this!

We'll leave together!

-Are you all right? -Yes.

Let's go to the back of the mountains.

That's where we take sanctuary in Zi Yuan.

After them!

Come with me.

Be careful.

The Yuan family has such a hidden place.

How did you learn of it?

From Chu Hua.

-Chu Hua. -I'm his Lordship's concubine.

-It's no surprise that I know. -Leave it to me.

Guang Qian!

Greetings, Miss Yuan.

Are you hurt?

I thought I'd never see you again.

Thank you for your concern. Everything's fine.

-Miss Yuan. -Miss Yuan.

We were in a hurry just now. So I didn't get to ask.

Brother Ming Lei, Jin Xiu, what brings you here?

Dou Ying Hua killed His Majesty.

His Lordship's rescue attempt failed and was ambushed.

Fortunately, we've made preparations in Dong Du.

His Lordship has brought the Third Prince there.

Are the others all right?

Don't worry. Everyone is fine.

Su Hui.

I know you're very upset now.

If you want to cry...

just go ahead.

It's all my fault!

It's all my fault for failing to protect my mother!

It's my fault for not listening to her!

It's all my fault.

Mother!

It's all my fault!

Mu Jin, what's wrong?

I feel weak all over.

Everyone seems to have been poisoned.

I can cure this poison.

Let's get inside.

Are you injured? Go in and sit down.

Hu Yong has got quite some nerves!

Why must he mess with Yuan Qing Jiang?

Provoke a dispute between the two countries?

I'm more worried about you now.

Hu Yong brought all his people with him this time.

Your situation is like being in a wolf den now.

No matter how pissed off you are...

endurance is the best policy.

Your Highness!

Instead of enjoying yourself in Yi Hong Pavilion,

you come to such a place?

Too much time to kill?

Commander Hu.

Aren't we here in Xi Du to build a trade relationship?

Why...

Could I...

have misunderstood the meaning of "trade relationship"?

I'm acting under the order of His Majesty!

You are? Why haven't I heard of it?

Your Highness!

Although you are His Majesty's nephew,

there's no reason for His Majesty to tell you everything.

-You're right. -Put me down!

Let go of me!

-Let go of me! -Hey, you!

Come here.

-Let go of me! -Me?

-Come here! -Put me down!

Let go of me!

Greetings, Your Highness!

From now on...

she's mine.

Sure!

I'll give her to Your Highness!

-Move! Hurry! -Move!

-Hurry! Move! -Kneel!

I want pretty young girls!

What is this?

-Kill them! -Yes!

Stop!

Xiao Hong, Xiao Cui, Xiao Fen.

From now on,

remember the names that I gave you.

Meng Zhao.

Yes.

Send me all the people that you can find.

Be it men, women, children, or elderly people.

If one more person dies, I'll hold you responsible.

Yes, Your Highness!

I've spent ten years of my life in this wolf den.

I'm capable of anything...

but endurance.

Go now.

Where are you going?

Who are you? You're not from the Dark Palace.

Palace Master.

I was from the Dark Palace but got transferred to East Battalion.

I'm now the Dark Army of the East.

My name is Qing Mei.

I've seen your file before.

I know you.

Why are you here?

Do you know why the treasure of Zi Yuan is being guarded,

by the descendants of Yuan and Sima families for generations?

That's because it concerns the future of the Yuan family.

His Lordship ordered me to protect the Dark Palace before he left.

For you to go up there itself is a violation of the rules.

Right now, you brought so many people into the Dark Palace.

What if they find out about the secret and treasure?

Zi Yuan is about to be wiped out!

And you're still quibbling over the treasure?

You should know.

Without the treasure, the Yuan family wouldn't have existed.

Before entering the Dark Palace,

they have to pass through the long and dangerous labyrinth.

If they aren't from the Dark Palace,

no one can make it out of there alive.

I've placed these people in the deepest part of the Dark Palace.

No one will know the secrets of the Dark Palace.

Also...

I don't care what's the mission father has tasked you with...

in this Dark Palace,

I'm the master.

I'll take care of my own business.

Palace Master.

You're so soft-hearted.

Sooner or later, it will ruin the Dark Palace.

I just don't want anyone to die in vain.

Pan Zheng Yue.

Without you,

I can still take down Zi Yuan!

Dou Ying Hua.

As for you...

you can only sit back...

and not being able to bite back at me.

All you can do is to keep the promise you made.

Commander Wu wise and great!

Report!

Commander Hu, Pan Zheng Yue sent an urgent letter.

What's the matter?

Did Pan Zheng Yu sprain his ankle on the way here?

He couldn't make it?

Commander Hu, they have left.

What?

Pan Zheng Yue said,

he has pulled back the troops to Bian City.

The attack on Zi Yuan is cancelled,

and told us not to attack.

This is the Zi Yuan that belongs to Yuan Qing Jiang!

Convey my order and retreat.

You can't do that, Commander Hu!

We've destroyed Zi Yuan.

If we withdraw troops now,

Yuan Qing Jiang will not spare us.

You're right.

Yuan Qing Jiang will not just let things slide.

We need to find something...

to keep him under control.

Drink some water.

It's fine. I feel much better now.

I thought I'd never see you again.

There is divine justice after all.

I still get to see you.

Jin Xiu, I always thought that...

you'd still blame me for Young Lord Fei Bai.

Had I known that you were in love with him,

I'd rather die at the hands of Madam Lian,

than to go to Xi Feng Court.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Our fate has been decided.

I'm now with his Lordship.

You're with Young Lord Fei Bai.

I'm doing great. I mean it.

Sir, the cave on the top of the mountain is their hideout.

All right. Anyone who captures Yuan Fei Yan alive...

will get a handsome reward from me!

Capture Yuan Fei Yan alive!

Commander Hu!

I heard that Yuan Fei Yan is the prettiest person in Xi Du!

Why didn't you tell me you want to capture her alive?

Prince Duan.

You have so many ladies around you.

What's the matter? Got sick of them?

No amount of women is ever enough.

Anyhow, I want this woman!

Report!

Miss Yuan! Secretary Song!

The Southern soldiers at the foot of the mountain will be here soon,

to capture Miss Yuan alive.

Convey my order. Move more stones as a defence.

Once the Southern soldiers attack, fight with all your might!

Yes!

Guards, for those who can still move, come with me!

-Let's go! -Let's go!

Let's go.

Don't worry. Nothing will happen.

Soon...

the Southern soldiers are about to attack this place.

Right now...

the only way is to have someone to disguise as Miss Yuan...

and divert the Southern soldiers away.

Then, we can use that opportunity to break the siege...

and escort Miss Yuan to a safe place.

Right now, Ms. Jin Xiu has the best martial arts skills.

Her body figure resembles Miss Yuan's.

That's if Ms. Jin Xiu is willing...

to disguise as Miss Yuan and go down the mountains.

Director Liu, what a brilliant plan.

Although Jin Xiu has great martial arts skills,

anyone can easily recognise that she isn't Miss Yuan,

given her purple pupils.

You're right, Ms. Mu.

Since the younger sister isn't a suitable candidate,

let's have her elder sister do it then.

You can lay a finger on Ms. Mu...

over my dead body.

Wei Hu!

Wei Hu!

Wei Hu!

Wake up, Wei Hu!

Wei Hu!

Liu Yan Sheng, as we encounter very grave difficulties,

you resorted to killing your own people!

Director Liu.

Are you trying to rebel?

For your safety,

we have to break the siege at once.

There must be no delay.

As for those who are holding us back...

kill them.

I've long heard that Xiao Wu Yi...

has a strong spirit of loyalty.

This is the moment of crisis.

I'm sure all of you...

will surely fight to sacrifice your own life.

Ms. Jin Xiu and Ms. Mu, please be quick to decide...

who will go down the mountain in Miss Yuan's stead.

You just want Xiao Wu Yi dead.

-I'll go! -No!

Mu, you can't go!

Mu Jin, I'll buy us some time.

Break the siege from the side with Miss Yuan.

Guang Jin.

You can't go.

Report!

Miss Yuan, they're coming up!

Convey my order!

Anyone who isn't hurt, fight along with me!

-Yes! -Guang Jin!

Secretary Song, what are you trying to do?

Do you want these people to die with you?

If it got Miss Yuan held up in here...

what would his Lordship...

think about Xiao Wu Yi?

Miss Yuan, allow me to be your substitute...

-and cover you! -No!

All right!

Loyal and fearless.

As expected of Xiao Wu Yi.

Ms. Mu.

Please choose the soldiers that will come along with us.

Mu Jin, you can't go!

I'll go!

The Southern soldiers came prepared.

The mountain is surrounded.

There's no point for me to be in here.

I can save more people if I go out there!

Besides, I might not die.

Their lives and yours are equally important!

-Hua Mu Jin, I won't let you go! -Brother Ming Lei.

Look at them.

They want to reunite with their family too.

And we are orphans who have lost our families.

We know these pain better than them.

That's why we can't let more people suffer.

In terms of martial arts,

I'm not as good as you or Jin Xiu.

Besides, you're the only ones who are not poisoned,

and have great martial skills.

Your mission is to protect everyone.

Mu Jin.

Jin Xiu, listen to me.

Perhaps I'll get there before you.

I'm counting on you to protect all the people here.

I'm sure you won't let me down.

We need a few warriors to fight alongside me!

I won't force anyone.

Please volunteer yourself!

-I'll go with you! -I'll go with you!

-I'll go with you! -I'll go with you!

-I'll go with you! -Count me in!

Those who are the only child in the family or have kids,

please step back.

Comrades who are siblings!

The younger ones, step back!

Fellow soldiers!

I will tell my father...

to monumentalize your sacrifices!

Thank you, Miss Yuan!

It's my honour...

to have all of you to fight alongside me!

We're at your command!

Mu, I promise my mother to protect you!

I'll have you safely delivered to Young Lord Fei Bai.

I'll go with you.

So Hui, trust me.

Right!

Give this hairpin to Young Lord Fei Bai.

When he sees it, he'll know how to save me.

Mu Jin.

Chu Hua.

Don't worry.

Miss Yuan.

Before going down the mountain,

I have a request.

As long as it's within my power,

you can have it your way.

I want Liu Yan Sheng's head!

Just because you said so,

you think you can have my head?

As a director, Liu Yan Sheng...

neglected his duty and failed to stay vigilant...

which is why everyone was poisoned!

As a man,

you're a coward who's afraid of death and take advantage of the girls!

The death of such an unscrupulous and unfaithful man...

isn't worth mentioning!

How dare you?

Miss Yuan.

I was the one who escorted you here.

If you do this at their instigation,

no one will stay loyal to the Yuan family anymore.

Miss Yuan!

They're coming up!

Miss Yuan, time is of the essence.

This is my only wish!

Miss Yuan.

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

Kill him!

Jin Xiu, the nightmare is over.

You can turn over a new leaf now.

Dou Ying Hua...

put a new emperor on the throne and move the capital to Bian City.

With just these two things,

he can control public opinion.

If we send troops to Bian City now,

we'll be coined as rebels.

If that happens...

we'll lose the support of the people,

and be at our wits' end.

The best plan now...

is to enthrone the Third Prince as soon as possible...

as per the late emperor's edict.

Capture Yuan Fei Yan alive!

Stop right there!

-Stop! -Hurry! Miss Yuan, leave first!

Leave! Don't bother about us!

Jin Xiu, it's all my fault.

I've made you suffer.

Capture Yuan Fei Yan alive!

After them!

Capture them!

-Be on guard! -Hurry! Go!

Take Miss Yuan and leave. I'll back you up.

Jin Xiu!

Let's go this way!

We're separated from Miss Yuan.

Will we be safe?

There are many trees here. Perfect for cover.

Let's hide here.

No way.

Su Hui, what is it?

I need to find Young Lord Fei Bai. I can't let anything happen to Mu.

Su Hui!

Stay hidden. I'll find him.

Miss Yuan, you're safe now.

Guang Qian!

Guang Qian!

Don't go back!

Hua Mu Jin might have been dead!

Mu Jin, I'm here for you now.

Miss Yuan, let's go! Hurry!

Here.

Soldiers gave up their lives...

and fought until the end.

I, Hua Mu Jin,

will never forget any of you.

Brother Ming Lei?

Mu Jin!

Brother Ming Lei, why are you here?

I made you a promise...

to be the most trustworthy and dependable person for you.

Come on.

Commander Hu.

Yuan Fei Yan vanished after entering the back of the mountain.

Search the mountain!

Even if we have to turn the world upside down,

I want Yuan Fei Yuan captured!

Yes!

Brother Ming Lei!

Brother Ming Lei!

Mu Jin, do you know?

Last year...

you asked Brother Fei Yan to help you steal the plum blossom.

How I wished...

the person that came to your mind...

was me.

I just want to tell you...

no matter what happens...

I'll always be by your side.

Lastly...

promise me one thing. All right?

Brother Ming Lei, as long as you're fine,

I'll promise you anything.

Live on.

Hang in there until the reinforcements are here.

Brother Ming Lei.

Leave!

After them!

-Stop right there! -Capture Yuan Fei Yuan alive!

Release the arrows!

Brother Ming Lei!

Brother Ming Lei!

Brother Ming Lei!

Brother Ming Lei!

Let go of me!

Come on.

Chu Hua?

Chu Hua!

Yuan family's troops will be here soon.

Don't you dare touch her again!

Yuan family's troops will be here soon?

Let me tell you.

Your master has to escape after being hunted by Dou Ying Hua.

I wonder where he's hiding at.

Today, I'll have both of you!

You attacked Zi Yuan!

My father will not let you go!

It's 40 miles away from Xi Du.

That's if Yuan Fei Qing has dogs' sense of smell.

-Right? -Yes!

Commander Hu!

Your Highness.

Commander Hu.

Let me ask you a question.

Who's the boss here?

That's Your Highness.

If that's the case...

I get to call the shots...

for everything.

That's for sure.

Let me have...

these two girls.

Your Highness!

Are you going back on your words?

You won't.

Meng Zhao, take these two girls back to the camp.

Yes.

You two, come with me.

Come on, Chu Hua.

Come on. Get up.

You may leave now.

Yuan family's troops are here already?

No, the Southern soldiers are gone.

That's great.

I saw Ms. Jin Xiu and Secretary Song...

leaving through the back of the mountain with Lady Mu Jin.

There is an old sanctuary there.

I believe they are out of danger now.

Jin Xiu has gone to Dong Du.

Why would she show up in Zi Yuan?

No, I need to go there and check it out.

-Let's go. -Let's go.

Easy. Be careful.

Ms. Xiang Qing.

Prince Duan.

What is this?

Greetings, Your Highness.

I thank you on behalf of Yuan family for saving my life.

On behalf of Yuan family?

You?

Miss, you seem to have a bad memory.

Have you forgotten...

crying and calling me Jin Xiu...

during the Qixi Festival?

I'm not mistaken.

Right, Ms. Mu Jin?

Jin Xiu.

That was you?

You knew it all along that I'm not Miss Yuan?

Well.

Why did you save me?

You're one of the very few who bears no animosity towards me,

despite seeing my purple pupils.

Forget it. Leave now.

Hu Yong will soon be making some petty moves.

Thank you, Your Highness.

But if we leave,

how are you going to explain to Hu Yong?

You're not from the Yuan family.

What do I have to explain?

Your Highness.

Didn't you say we can leave?

Yes, I did.

But I can't let you go just like that.

Don't look at me that way.

It's not like I'm asking you to sleep with me.

Your Highness, whatever you ask of me,

I'll surely try my best to do it.

Actually, I'm here...

under the order of the South state's emperor...

to build a trade relationship.

But I didn't expect Hu Yong...

to secretly collude with Dou Ying Hua...

and caused destruction in Zi Yuan.

For all the things that happened...

I was completely kept in the dark.

I understand.

When I get back, I'll be sure to tell his Lordship...

that this has nothing to do with Your Highness.

That would be great.

Thank you for your help.

Take care.

You too.
