"The Twin Flower Legend"

"Episode 21"

Mu Jin!

Mu Jin!

You need to stay alive.

You need to stay alive.

You need to stay alive.

Let me pay...

my own debt.

No, Miss Yuan!

-Let me die! -No!

-Let me die! -No!

-Listen to me, Fei Yan! -Let me die!

You're not the one who should die.

You're not the one who should die.

It's those who have hurt you.

You need to stay alive.

You still have a family,

a father, and brothers.

For their sake, you need to stay alive.

All right?

They wouldn't want me anymore.

I've disgraced the Yuan family.

They wouldn't want me anymore. Not anymore!

Let me die!

My Lord.

Yuan Qing Jiang's concubine doesn't seem to be in her right mind.

I'm not sure if she's Hua Bin's daughter.

My Lord.

I think...

we should take no prisoners.

My Lord.

I have a plan.

I wonder if I should say it.

Speak!

It doesn't look good.

Impossible!

Widen the scope of the search.

Perhaps...

they have returned to Xi Du.

Yes.

Let's go! Come with me!

Song Ming Lei.

Even if you were lucky to survive...

I want you dead!

Guang Qian.

What's the matter?

I feel so cold.

Why are you so hot?

Guang Qian.

Guang Qian, wake up!

Fei Yan, put me down.

If you carry me, none of us can get away.

How could I possibly leave you?

Besides...

look at me now.

How am I going to go back?

Besides, my father will surely get to the bottom of things.

Not only he wouldn't spare me...

he would think that I came out to find you...

and punish you severely for that.

He won't give you a hard time.

Listen to me and go back.

If I die out here, that's my destiny.

Stop talking already.

Let go of me!

Guang Qian!

How are you?

Don't bother about me.

Hurry and return.

I'm the only one with you now.

I won't just sit by...

and watch you die.

Let's go.

I will take you into the city...

and find you the best physician...

and ensure that you recover.

Guang Qian.

Guang Qian!

I asked someone to buy this ointment from Fang Hui Chun Hall.

It's an authentic nourishing herb to maintain a youthful appearance.

It's good for pregnant women.

Eat it while it's still warm.

I have long heard that this ointment works miracle.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Aunt, you don't look so good these days...

while you're here in Dong Du for pregnancy care.

What's troubling you?

I'm going into labour soon.

Yet, I still don't know if it's a boy or girl.

If it's a boy...

I wonder...

if others will find him a thorn in the flesh.

You're right.

Be it in the mansion or the palace,

it leaves us, mothers,

with unresolved matters in mind.

Look at me.

I made you recall these troubling matters.

Not at all, Your Majesty.

If Your Highness hadn't kept me companied,

while his Lordship is away,

I would be bored to death.

Aunt, we're family.

Don't be a stranger.

But I just heard that...

King of Jin's son, Yuan Fei Bai,

brought troops back to Zi Yuan without permission.

Not only King of Jin didn't punish him,

he wanted to let things slide in order to keep the peace.

I also heard that a beautiful and talented lady...

by the name Hua Jin Xiu...

made great contributions in the battle of Zi Yuan.

King of Jin even made her the Second Lady of Zi Yuan.

The Yuan family surely has quite some talented individuals,

with a galaxy of talent.

That explains why you're so worried.

-Madam. -Aunt, what's wrong?

I... I think I'm going into labour.

Hurry! Send Consort Jin back to the chamber.

Madam.

-Summon the royal physician! -Yes!

-Madam! -Madam!

Second Prince!

Second Prince!

Second Prince!

Consort Li.

I have a question.

Please answer truthfully.

That day, Ben Xiao was in the same carriage with you.

You know where he is, right?

He's still alive, isn't he?

Halfway through the journey,

Father sent a carriage to pick Ben Xiao up.

You can ask my brother if you don't believe me.

But I've asked His Majesty.

His Majesty didn't send anyone to pick Ben Xiao up.

The things you and your brother are inconsistent.

Well...

Perhaps, it was Yuan Qing Jiang who picked him up.

Or Her Majesty?

The scene was a total chaos.

There were many carriages from Bian City to Dong Du.

I can't remember exactly which carriage...

came to pick Ben Xiao up.

Consort Li.

I have things to do. Excuse me.

My poor Ben Xiao.

Where are you?

Did the physician say...

that aunt is going into labour at the end of the month?

Why is she giving birth so soon?

Consort Jin is feeling depressed.

I had a casual talk with her and mentioned about...

the pool of talents from King of Jin's residence.

That got her worked up.

I know Your Majesty is kind.

Consort Jin is your aunt.

But King of Jin and Your Majesty are not a family.

Once he has his own trouble back at home,

he couldn't care less about the imperial power.

You did the right thing.

Your Majesty.

My family has been based in Yun Prefecture for years.

Although our military power isn't as strong as the Yuan family's,

it's a warlord family.

Right now, the new dynasty has just been established.

Why not gradually transfer...

the important positions of the frontier fortress...

and imperial city to the royal families?

That would make it easier for us to control Yuan Qing Jiang.

That's to prevent him from following in Dou Ying Hua's footsteps...

to control the emperor and command the nobles.

It's time to put the royal families to good use.

Feng Ding, come in.

Do you have any news about my sister?

No.

-Search again. -Yes.

Hold on.

If you find my sister, give it to her.

Tell her not to come back...

and live well.

Yes.

-You're dismissed. -Yes.

Greetings, Your Royal Highness.

Greetings, Your Royal Highness.

How is it?

Do you like this place?

Shuanghui Donggui Pavilion is too grand.

I'm flattered.

You didn't wear the jewellery I gave you.

It's too expensive. I don't want to act ostentatiously.

You're the Second Lady of Zi Yuan now.

You hold a very honourable position in Zi Yuan.

You're worthy of all these.

A very honourable position?

What's wrong?

When I stand here looking at Your Royal Highness,

I couldn't help asking myself...

if all of this is true.

Does all this...

belong to my life?

You deserve it when I said so.

Actually, to me...

there's no such thing as status.

I like it...

your honesty...

and your bravery.

Get some rest.

If you need anything else...

just let me know.

Prince Dan travelled all the way here,

to develop relations of friendship.

We'll never forget that.

Safe journey, Prince Dan.

Forgive me.

I can only send you this far.

Don't mention it.

I should be the one to thank you for your hospitality.

Here are some spare clothes.

We shall take our leave then.

Yuan Fei Bai gave his woman such a corny name.

What's it called? Madam Hua Xi?

I've leaked out the news...

that I've presented Madam Hua Xi to Duan Yuet Rong.

When the time comes...

I would love to see how Yuan Qing Jiang will react...

to find out that his daughter-in-law shares the bed with someone else.

How would Yuan Qing Jiang be able to endure such humiliation?

At that time,

he and the Yu family or even the entire South state...

will be at daggers drawn.

But the South state wouldn't dare to contend against the Yuan family.

So...

Duan Yuet Rong will come crawling and begging my Lord for help.

It's not possible anymore even if the Yu family...

didn't want to work with my Lord.

Jiang, that's a brilliant plan.

-Shameless! -Shameless!

I have the prettiest teeth in the whole South state.

You're finally here.

Your Highness.

When I found out Xuan Jiang has taken Your Highness away,

I've been on your tail and preparing to come to your rescue.

But Dou Ying Hua's camp is heavily guarded.

I couldn't find a way in.

I feel so relieved...

now that Your Highness is back safely.

Based on my calculation,

if Hu Yong rides hell-for-leather,

he'll return to the South state soon.

If he gains the upper hand,

and pushes the whole incident with Zi Yuan on me,

I wouldn't be able to explain myself.

But even if we rush back, we wouldn't reach before Hu Yong.

We have Madam Hua Xi with us, isn't it?

She can prove that I'm just a bystander.

It was all Hu Yong's scheme.

I didn't promise to be your witness.

My dear.

If your husband is beheaded,

what's in it for you?

Meng Zhao.

Ride hell-for-leather to South state.

Also, bring my father up to speed.

Tell him to get ready.

I'll take her back to the South state.

Yes, Your Highness.

Let's go.

Let go of me!

Your Highness!

Lu Shui.

How could you forget me?

Why are you here?

I just wanted to ask if I can come with you.

You're my concubine.

I don't want you to suffer...

or be in danger.

Why did you come here all by yourself?

You can go back first.

-But... -Hey!

I can ride a horse.

I can ride on my own.

It's been a while since you met.

You surely miss one another.

There you go.

You surely miss one another.

I went to great length to find a witness.

How can I let you go so easily?

Your Highness, let me take care of it.

What are you doing?

Why are you following me?

You can just go back first.

I...

Will you believe me if I tell you?

What is it?

I miss you.

Fine. Come along with me.

Guang Qian.

-This is it. -Thank you.

-Is anyone here? Hurry! -What's wrong?

Hurry! Save him.

-Hurry. -Come on.

Guang Qian, hang in there.

-Thank you. -Easy.

Sir, how is he?

This young man is seriously injured...

and caught a cold.

I'm afraid...

What is it?

I'm afraid it's hard to treat him.

Also, it'll cost a lot.

Sir, money isn't an issue.

Here. Take this.

With just this much of money,

it will only get you a few days' worths of medicine.

Sir, you just have to prescribe the medicine.

I'll find a way to get money.

Sir, I'm begging you.

Sir, please prescribe the medicine.

-I'll try. -Thank you, sir.

Easy.

Eat something first.

I'm not hungry.

You eat it.

Actually, you look much better today.

The medicine works.

Miss Yuan.

Return to Zi Yuan.

You shouldn't suffer here.

As long as I'm willing to do it...

it wouldn't matter.

I don't deserve your kindness.

I know.

You've never liked me.

Although I couldn't reconcile myself to it...

it's all good now.

I don't deserve your love.

And I'm in no position to want you to love me.

Don't worry.

After you've recovered, we'll part ways.

I won't pester you.

That's not what I meant.

I just feel that...

I feel so bad...

seeing you suffer because of me.

Let's eat something first.

Eat up.

I like you.

That's my own business.

You don't have to worry about that.

Back then...

it was just my wishful thinking.

I thought as long as I like you...

you'll like me in return.

But when Hua Mu Jin showed up...

you told me...

that she's the only one for you.

It's all in the past now.

I won't think about it anymore.

I just want you to recover.

As long as you're alive...

that will be enough for me.

Get some rest.

I'm feeling tired too.

Rest earlier.

Your Highness!

You know martial arts. Get down on your own.

Lu Shui.

It's my first time seeing you so uncivilized.

Since she's Your Highness's concubine,

she should be obedient to you.

-Me? -Look at her.

I'm helping Your Highness to teach her a lesson!

I'm not his concubine.

I don't want to come in between the two of you.

Have you heard?

Dou Ying Hua presented Yuan family's third daughter-in-law,

Madam Hua Xi,

to Duan Yuet Rong, the Crown Prince of South state.

A woman serving two husbands.

The Yuan family's reputation...

has been ruined by Madam Hua Xi.

Says who that Madam Hua Xi gave herself to Prince Duan?

-That's what everyone is saying. -Nonsense!

It's all Dou Ying Hua's scheme!

We don't know anything about that.

All we know is that the Lord of Treading on the Snow...

is going to be cuckolded! -Be cuckolded!

You...

Dou Ying Hua has done me a great favour.

That way,

the whole worlds know...

that you're my wife.

Aren't you afraid the Yuan family will attack the South state?

Don't worry about that.

You're so cute when you lose your temper.

I'm feeling hungry.

My dear wife.

-Eat with me. -Who's your wife?

Duan Yuet Rong!

Let go of me!

I made a mistake.

There's no going back...

for every move that you make.

After you have made the move...

you have to resign to your fate.

I'll keep in mind the things that Your Royal Highness taught me.

What's the matter?

It's that time of the month again?

Your clothes are too plain.

Your eyes are so pretty.

You should wear something that matches your eyes.

Madam Lian is the First Lady of Zi Yuan.

I dare not act ostentatiously.

You're my Second Lady.

You should act ostentatiously.

From today onwards...

you can wear whatever you want.

No one will dare to say anything.

I don't deserve Your Royal Highness's grace.

You deserve it because I said so.

It's late.

Get some rest.

Yes.

Thank you, Your Royal Highness.

Madam Jin.

Mr. Shen.

Bring some men with you.

Find Hua Mu Jin.

Yes.

I will bring Hua Mu Jin back to Zi Yuan.

No need

When you find her,

execute on the spot.

But Young Lord Fei Bai...

Dou Ying Hua...

presented the Yuan family's people to Duan Yuet Rong.

He's doing this to make the Yuan family a laughing stock.

So...

we can't let Hua Mu Jin falls into the hands of Prince Duan.

Fei Bai will understand.

How about Madam Jin?

There's no need to tell her.

Yes.

Where are you going?

I can't go back to the South state with you.

If I do, how am I to live my life?

Isn't it obvious?

Madam Hua Xi is now Prince Duan's concubine.

It's known to all.

Madam Hua Xi didn't fall into Duan family's hands.

Get as far away from me!

Actually, I don't get it.

Why do you care so much about Madam Hua Xi's rumours?

Let me tell you.

It has played out this way

You can't change anything.

If you're afraid that Yuan Fei Bai would misunderstand...

all the more I don't get it.

Didn't you intend to leave him and never be with him?

Why do you care what he thinks?

Am I right?

I was the one who wanted to leave him.

But why do I care what he thinks of me?

Don't move.

Here. Up you go.

What's going on?

Forget it. Let her go if she wants to.

After all, we're not on the same side.

You're hurting me!

Your Highness!

Mu Jin!

Don't let go of the reins!

Wash all of these.

I'll pay you 20 copper coins.

There are so many more clothes?

I've washed so many of them.

And you're only paying me 20 copper coins?

You're just taking advantage of me!

Are you trying to hit me?

Either you do it, or you can get lost!

Are you awake?

Why do you have to tie me up?

I tie you up to prevent you from sneaking up against me.

I'm doing this for your own good.

A woman wandering in the wilderness.

How are you going to survive?

Besides, if I'm not by your side...

those people will still spread the rumours, right?

I won't go back to the South state with you.

Why do I have to substantiate things that are not true?

You're overthinking it.

The people in this world are not interested...

with a woman's innocence.

They only love to watch the fun.

The things that you're worried about...

need to be substantiated.

You have me tied up...

simply because you want me to prove your innocence in the South state.

But...

are you not afraid that I would make up stories with Duan Guang Yi...

and causing you and your father to lose your lives?

Will you?

Although I'm a commoner,

I do have my pride.

If people force me to do things that I don't want to do...

I'd rather die than to submit to them.

Eat up.

You know what?

Hu Yong...

intends to put the blame for the whole Zi Yuan situation on me.

You're the only person who can prove my innocence now.

The only way is to have you come with me to the South State,

and clear things up for me.

Otherwise,

my father could be sentenced to death.

It could even trigger a war between the two countries.

If two countries go on a war...

the ones who suffer...

are those innocent civilians.

Prince Duan.

I couldn't even prove my own innocence.

How do you expect me...

to prove yours?

How am I going to help your father...

and save those people from a war?

Who do you think...

can help me?

Why are you here?

Your Highness.

This woman will be a drag on you.

If you take her with you,

the Yuan family will not leave the matter at that.

-I just wanted... -Leave.

I don't want to see you again.

Are you chasing me away...

because of this woman?

You should be glad that she's fine.

Otherwise...

I'll do more than just chasing you away.

I'm the concubine that His Majesty bestowed upon you.

Who is she?

A nobody you found on the streets!

Whoever she is...

she's mine anyway.

Unless if I want her dead...

no one can lay a finger on her.

At first...

I didn't mind having a dispensable woman like you by my side.

But if you threaten her life...

I'll make you disappear.

Leave.

Duan Yuet Rong.

Is that all between us?

-Leave! -Sir!

-Sir, I'm begging you! -Leave.

-Sir! -Leave!

-Leave! -Sir.

Please help me out.

-Give me two days' worth of medicine. -I'm begging you.

We need to make a living.

-You should just leave. -Sir!

-My husband can't stop the medication. -Ma'am, your husband is badly injured.

Even if he's cured, he'll be crippled.

You should make plans for yourself.

Sir, please don't go!

Don't pull me!

-Sir! -What's the matter with you?

-Sir! -Leave!

-Don't come here anymore! -Sir, I'm begging you!

Song Ming Lei sure has quite some nerves.

How dare he offend King of Jin?

That's right. That's as good as making a death wish!

That's right.

I wonder where Mu Jin is now.

Is she doing all right?

Fei Bai.

Your blood flow isn't smooth yet.

You need to soak in it for some time.

She must be better off outside than with the Yuan family.

She's happy now.

Right?

No matter what...

I just want to know if Mu Jin is doing well.

I want to know about her.

You never look at me like that.

Did something happen to her?

Well...

Mu Jin...

fell into Duan Yuet Rong's hands.

Out of anger...

father sent Shen Chang Zong to capture her.

Once they capture her...

What?

She'll be executed on the spot.

I'll go. Stay here and recuperate.

No way.

Father doesn't want you out there.

Don't provoke him.

Be careful.

Father.
