"The Twin Flower Legend"

Episode 20

Sir, I'm tired.

You're tired?

-Then I'll take a break with you. -Alright.

Let's sit here.

Sir, look.

-The view is nice. -It is.

The best part is,

we just passed by that place yesterday.

Is that so?

That was where you complained about me commenting that...

you've no sense of direction.

It's just a place that looks similar.

Don't all jetties look the same?

Yes. You're right. You're always right.

I think you've improved lately.

So, from now, you can...

lead the way for a while.

I'll lead the way afterwards.

Thank you, sir.

Isn't that Yuan Fei Bai's concubine...

and Hua Bin's daughter? Is that her?

I think so. Never mind. I'll follow her...

while you inform Mr. Xuan Jiang.

Oh no. I forgot to bring food.

I returned to Zi Yuan with our troops without permission.

I'm unforgivable.

I'm willing to...

-Young Lord Fei Bai. -My lord. Young Lord Fei Bai.

Are you alright?

Don't move!

My...

I'm so hungry. Not bad.

I guess losing our way could be a blessing in disguise at times.

We ran into a familiar face and found food.

We're so lucky.

Are we destined...

to be friends...

or foes?

Heir Apparent Duan, you have the nerve to commit robbery in broad daylight.

Commit robbery?

It's just a few yams.

It's not like I went after your body.

Look at you. Don't be mad.

You get wrinkles when you're angry.

Why are you glaring at me?

You make it seem like I'm bullying you.

Since I've done it,

should I go for it?

You're shameless!

What is shame?

My tummy is more important.

-You... -Wait. No.

I took your yams...

and I'm a grateful person.

In this case, Meng Zhao,

go hunt for some meat.

Yes!

Alright? I'll share the meat with you.

I only put Yuan Fei Bai under house arrest for his mistake.

What do you all want?

My lord, please reconsider your decision.

Young Lord Fei Bai did that in order to save everyone in Zi Yuan...

and stop Hu Yong from occupying Zi Yuan...

and wreaking havoc in Xi Du City.

That was why he led the troops back without permission.

Please forgive him.

My lord, Young Lord Fei Bai might have been rash,

but he fought against Hu Yong bravely...

and intimidated the soldiers of the South state.

Please understand that he was just trying to protect his home.

You people aren't pleading for Fei Bai.

You all are here for Hua Mu Jin.

While Yuan family was facing a crisis in Bian City,

he ignored the military rules...

for a single woman...

and even disregarded the lives of the soldiers of the Dark Army of the East.

Is this not a sin?

My lord, Mu Jin did not harm Yuan family.

In fact, in order to save Miss Yuan and the rest in Zi Yuan,

she put her life on the line and led the soldiers down the hill.

My lord, please do not punish an innocent person...

in a fit of anger.

She is sinful!

She is guilty for almost getting Fei Bai killed!

Now,

I will issue an order to find and kill her!

Not bad.

You've worked hard.

It's so delicious.

You're surprisingly good at cooking.

Thank you, sir.

Sir.

You must be exhausted from the long journey.

Should I give you a massage?

You learnt fast.

Sure. It's been a tiring trip.

My left shoulder is especially tired.

Sir, it's my pleasure to serve you.

She's

Sir.

Is this good enough for you?

Not bad.

It'll be better if you press the left side harder.

Yes.

Sir.

Did you do that intentionally?

I dare not.

I wouldn't have the nerve to do that.

That burnt me! You...

Do you need me to massage harder? Come.

Stop.

You've actually starved for days too, right?

So cut it out.

Take it.

You...

I accidentally dirtied it. I think I caught a cold.

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm having a cold.

I'll go get some water.

What's so funny?

I just realised that you're pretty good-looking.

You're a decent cook too.

Why don't you be my chef?

If I have meat,

I'll give you the bones.

Sir.

-You're so nice. -They're over there!

Duan Yue Rong!

They're here!

Hurry!

-Stop right there! -Don't move!

Duan Yue Rong, I'm going to tear you into pieces!

Stop, Commander Hu!

Lady Xuan.

What are you...

The prime minister sent me to claim a person from you.

Of course I will...

happily cooperate with Prime Minister Dou.

Wait!

I'm the heir apparent to the throne of the South state, Duan Yue Rong.

Greetings, Heir Apparent Duan.

I have a few words for Prime Minister Dou.

I will surely pass the message to him.

I'm the son of King Yu of the South state...

and the nephew of the emperor of the South State.

If you guys are looking for an ally,

don't you think I'll make...

a more valuable ally than him?

You are right, Heir Apparent Duan.

In this case,

please come to Bian City with me.

Sure.

Guang Qian.

Guang Qian.

What are you thinking about?

Ways to escape?

Heir Apparent Duan.

You should be thinking of...

ways to collude with Dou Ying Hua.

I wish you a shameful success in advance.

I don't know if you're stupid or clever.

If I'm really willing to join hands with them,

would Hu Yong be hunting me down?

Sorry.

Mu Jin. Jin Xiu.

No matter what happens in the future,

the two of you must love and protect each other...

and live on.

-Mother! -Don't look!

So,

why was Dou Ying Hua looking for you?

He probably got the wrong person.

Do you take me for a fool?

Judging from the way you two looked at each others,

you and that woman knew each other.

In fact,

I bet there's a deep grudge between the two of you.

My father, mother...

and the villagers of Hua dock...

all died because of this woman...

and Dou Ying Hua.

Everybody knows that...

Dou Ying Hua killed Hua Bin.

Hua dock? Your family name is Hua.

You're Hua Bin's child?

Then how did you...

end up becoming Yuan family's servant?

Dou family and Yuan family are bitter rivals.

Only Zi Yuan...

would accept me and my sister.

But luckily,

Dou Ying Hua caught me instead of Jin Xiu.

Even if I'll die,

I won't give in to them.

At least...

you have a sister who will think of you.

That's good enough.

You're not like me.

Even if I die,

no one will shed a tear for me.

If you think from this perspective,

you're actually very lucky.

You must be kidding me, Heir Apparent Duan.

You've so many concubines.

If each of them sheds a tear,

they could perhaps flood the entire Xi Du City.

Look at my eyes.

I'm that...

Purple-eyes Demon.

Heir Apparent Duan!

You're the Purple-eyes Demon that causes...

the 3-year drought in the South state!

If you die,

the country will prosper again!

If I die, I'm afraid the entire South state...

will celebrate my death.

It was you?

Do you remember...

the little girl who bit your butt...

when you were being pursued back then?

Yes, that stupid girl.

It was you?

You're that stupid girl?

Turn around and let me bite your butt!

Heir Apparent Duan.

I'm not in the mood to joke with you now.

Now I know that...

you're my saviour.

Don't worry.

I'll surely protect you.

Aunt.

How dare you make light of the revenge of Ming family...

for that lowly woman, Hua Mu Jin!

You're extremely foolish!

Mu Jin.

What happened to Mu Jin?

She's dead.

Yuan Qing Jiang ordered to find and kill her.

No way.

Mu Jin risked her life for Miss Yuan.

Yuan family wouldn't do that to her.

You've been too comfortable in Yuan mansion!

A ruthless man like Yuan Qing Jiang...

won't let Hua Mu Jin seek refuge in and serve the South state!

Of course he'd kill her!

All my life,

I lived for Ming family.

Mu Jin was...

my last wishful thinking.

Why?

Why?

Yang Er.

If I could,

I'd let you live as you wish.

Mu Jin.

I failed you.

Was it just Hua Mu Jin?

Your parents, clan...

and Hua Mu Jin...

were all killed by Yuan Qing Jiang.

Ming Xu Ri.

Yuan Qing Jiang has driven you to a corner.

Guang Qian! Where are you?

Guang Qian!

Young Master Ming.

It's time you make an oath for Ming family.

We shall serve the young master with our lives!

I have a gift for you.

May you return to Yuan family gloriously.

Guang Qian.

Guang Qian.

Guang Qian.

Guang Qian, I thought you died.

I found you at last.

Your injury...

Let's go. I'll take you back to Zi Yuan.

I won't let you leave me again.

-Let's go. -Let go of me!

Get lost.

I don't ever want to see you again.

Get lost!

Guang Qian.

Don't say that. I'll take you back.

-Let's go. -I'm not going back.

I'm not going back.

Please, Guang Qian.

Go back with me.

I'll have you treated.

You saved me.

My father will reward you generously.

I'll give you everything I have...

to compensate you.

Do you have any idea...

how hard I searched for you?

I stayed up for 3 nights.

Yuan Fei Yan.

Mu Jin is dead.

She's dead?

It's alright, Guang Qian.

There's still Hua Mu Jin's sister,

Hua Jin Xiu.

My father will reward her generously.

My father will reward her.

Enough!

So what if Yuan family could give us a fortune?

She died for you.

She died for you!

You're wealthy and powerful.

You could sacrifice the lives of others.

But in my heart,

Mu Jin...

is irreplaceable.

Enough!

Yes.

I'm wealthy and powerful.

I'm an aristocrat.

Aren't you just a lowly secretary?

Secretary Song.

I hereby order you to return to Zi Yuan with me.

I'm not going back.

Come with me!

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

I'm not going back to Zi Yuan.

Hang in there.

Guang Qian.

Are you alright?

Guang Qian.

Hurry! That way!

Leave me here.

Run.

What do you all want?

We want nothing but you!

Miss Yuan!

Behave!

Let go of me!

Help!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Watch carefully.

Guang Qian!

Let go of me!

Guang Qian!

Please stop here, Ms. Jin Xiu.

You're his stepmother now.

You are his senior.

You must not cross the line.

Who are you?

I am the master of the Dark Palace.

This is between me and him.

An outsider like you shouldn't be nosy.

Since you have chosen the duke...

and Fei Bai has found his love,

you should let go.

In this world,

the only thing one cannot choose...

or give up...

is love.

If everyone can let go,

there will be no regrets in this world.

A man who lives in darkness forever like you...

will not understand.

Please return.

I will not let you pass.

You will see him when the time is right.

I put sleeping incense in this lantern.

Sleep.

Take it as that you had a dream.

Who says I don't understand?

Miss Yuan.

Kill me.

If I die,

no one will know what happened.

Leave.

Leave.

Let's...

return to Zi Yuan.

I can't go back.

I can't go back anymore.

Have you all found Fei Yan?

There's no news yet.

For a man,

she put her own life at risk.

Fei Bai was worse.

Because of a woman, he forgot his duty...

and nearly ruined my plan.

My lord.

Young Lord Fei Bai might have been rash,

but if he didn't return in time,

the entire Xi Du City would have fallen.

He's Madam Xie's son after all.

He's just like her.

He treasures the people around him.

I shall walk you out as ordered by my father.

However, the pathway of the Dark Palace...

cannot be revealed to outsiders.

As such, you must be blindfolded.

It's so dark here.

You must find it difficult.

Just go straight along this road...

and there will be light at the end.

You belong there.

Jin Xiu, I'm sorry.

This will be my last lie.

I shall put an end...

to this sinful relationship with my own hands.

My father is waiting for you outside.

Greetings, my lord.

Greetings, father.

Fei Bai.

Come here.

Father.

It was chaotic in Zi Yuan.

I was worried about your safety.

But I'm glad you were here.

You did a good job protecting Jin Xiu.

What reward do you want?

I was obligated to do so.

Ms. Jin Xiu put herself in danger in order to save Sister Fei Yan.

It was by chance that...

I saved Ms. Jin Xiu...

and took her to the Dark Palace for treatment.

The Dark Palace is Yuan family's biggest secret.

Not many know of its existence.

Yet, you brought someone in without a good reason...

and even took her out openly.

Have you forgotten about the oath you made?

I'm willing to accept punishment.

Please forgive us, my lord.

It was chaotic at the time.

If it wasn't for Young Lord Fei Bai,

I would have been dead by now.

I swear...

I won't tell anyone about the Dark Palace.

Please forgive Young Lord Fei Bai.

My dear.

I shall do so.

From today onwards,

you are my wife.

Feng Ding.

My lord.

Jin Xiu did a good job protecting Fei Yan.

From today onwards,

she is the Second Lady of Zi Yuan...

in charge of managing Zi Yuan.

She shall reside in the Shuanghui Donggui Pavilion.

Feng Ding was carefully trained by me.

Now, he shall be your personal guard.

You are my wife now.

You need a proper personal guard.

Know your place.

Looks like we've reached Dou Ying Hua's territory.

My life is worthless.

I won't let my father's legacy...

end here.

Are you stupid?

Why must you admit that...

you're Hua Bin's daughter?

When you see Dou Ying Hua,

never admit that you're Hua Bin's daughter.

Leave the rest to me.

Heir Apparent Duan, please proceed to the prime minister's tent.

Wo Zhou is my father's fief.

I'm sure you're aware that...

it's a place with rich resources.

Besides, my uncle the emperor trusts me very much.

On the other hand, the new king of the Eastern Royal Court...

is still struggling.

I thought you might want to forget about...

Hu Yong who possesses nothing but a small army...

and join hands with me.

I guarantee that...

we can open up trade between Wo Zhou and Bian City.

By then, we can be trade partners...

that support each other politically.

What say you?

I don't know Hua Bin!

I know nothing about that book!

Don't kill me!

-I don't know them! -Prime Minister Dou.

-What's going on? -This is Hua Bin's daughter.

I'm not. I said that I don't know Hua Bin.

Does he sell flowers?

-Don't treat me like this! -Stop pretending!

Wait!

Is she the one?

I'm not!

Bring her in.

Take her away!

Guards.

Escort Heir Apparent Duan to his tent.

Are you kidding me, Prime Minister Dou?

She's my concubine.

How do I rest well without her?

Heir Apparent Duan, please don't joke with us.

You don't know, Prime Minister Dou.

This woman...

is the concubine of the Lord of Treading on the Snow.

Even though she's ugly and retarded,

it took me a lot of effort to abduct her from Zi Yuan.

Heir Apparent Duan, this woman is so scary.

-She's going to kill me. -Don't be afraid.

-She's going to kill me. -It's alright. Good girl.

-Heir Apparent Duan. -Stop embarrassing me.

Look at her. How could she be lying?

Besides, I want to be your ally.

I won't act against the shared interest of our countries...

for this ugly woman...

and lie to my new ally.

That's impossible.

She's going to kill me.

Enough.

Are you sure she's Hua Bin's child?

Good girl.

Based on the information and portrait from our spies,

she's the one.

Guards!

-General Xuan. -Bring me the portrait.

Yes.

Stop throwing a tantrum.

Surrender the 2 books...

and I'll spare your life! Otherwise...

I really know nothing about those books!

I've no books!

Heir Apparent Duan, you're so wealthy.

Why don't you buy him a cart of books?

Stop playing dumb!

Prime Minister Dou, be careful with her.

She's really retarded.

General Xuan.

Prime Minister Dou.

The spies I sent to Zi Yuan to find the children of Hua Bin...

confirmed that she's from Hua family.

This portrait is the proof.

I finally found a woman uglier than this concubine of mine!

The Shuanghui Donggui Pavilion and Rong Bao Hall...

are for the most powerful ladies in Zi Yuan.

Before your arrival,

the duke specially instructed us...

to clean up the place and serve you well.

He really wants to give you the best.

Clearly, the duke really loves you.

You may all retire.

Yes.

Mu Jin, perhaps you're right.

Zi Yuan isn't the place for people like us.

You may retire as well.

I can't believe the duke made me your personal guard.

When I broke my arm,

I thought I was disabled.

Luckily, the duke got me treated...

and gave me a metal arm.

We grew up together.

From now on, I will protect you.

-We... -I'd like to be alone.

You may leave.

Everything has changed.

Why bother bringing up the past?
