"The Twin Flower Legend"

Episode 23

My lord, Zi Yuan is now...

managed by the Second Lady.

As far as I know,

unlike me, she's only good at combat.

You should guide her...

to ensure that she won't be too harsh to the servants.

Since you're back,

what's yours will still be yours.

My lord, please don't misunderstand.

I'm merely feeling ashamed...

because I couldn't manage the household for you...

as I was away in the palace to give birth.

I know that you contributed greatly...

by giving birth to a baby boy for me.

Raising the child is a tiresome task.

I won't let you overwork yourself like before.

By the way, don't get mad at the servants again.

It's not worth it.

Rest well.

My lord.

My dear.

From now on, you shall be in charge of all wages.

You need to recuperate.

As for the operation of Zi Yuan,

just leave it to Jin Xiu.

Mu Jin, where are you?

Go!

Don't worry.

Just go southwards for a few more days...

and we'll reach the border between Xi Du City and the South state.

By then, we'll get proper food.

What kind of food?

Here!

-Stop! -Stop!

Heir Apparent Duan.

You really love this woman.

You swapped Miss Yuan and Madam Hua Xi.

Commander Hu, you came with so many men.

Do you intend to...

kill us?

How hateful.

I hate you because...

you are too clever.

Since you've said it yourself...

Go! Kill them!

-Yes! -Yes!

Wait!

Commander Hu, do you not know...

why I'm travelling around with a burden like...

Yuan Fei Bai's concubine?

The truth is...

Come here.

The truth is, Madam Hua Xi...

is a very important figure in Yuan family.

I just accepted a big deal.

I'm planning to sell her...

for a fortune.

Don't move!

Or I'll chop off the head of your handsome commander...

and throw it into the river to feed the fishes.

Don't move!

Are you guys crazy? Do you want me to die?

Did you hear your commander?

Come. Let's go.

This way.

-Stay where you are! -Commander Hu!

-Calm down. -Don't move!

You guys don't listen!

Stay where you are!

Faster!

Move!

Heir Apparent Duan!

Run!

Let me check.

No! Hu Yong is catching up!

Let's find a place to hide!

We can't take the main road.

We need to use the alternative road.

Stop.

It's him.

He's most probably looking for Duan Yue Rong and Mu Jin as well.

I should be able to find them if I follow him.

Do you feel better now?

I feel much better now.

Luckily, we escaped. Thank you.

Today, I received a report from our spy.

Eunuch Zhang was spotted at Ya Province which is situated...

between the Eastern Royal Court and Western Court.

Good.

Send a secret letter to King of Jin immediately.

Tell him to find the Imperial Seal and posthumous edict quickly.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Xu Er, you did not let me down.

You've a bright future ahead.

I'm flattered, father.

I only wish to help you out.

I'm blessed to have a son like you.

At first,

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

But once you threaten her safety,

I will make you disappear.

Aren't you supposed to be with Duan Yue Rong?

What are you doing at our place?

Were you dumped by Duan Yue Rong?

I told you so.

That fellow was just deceiving you.

Are you done talking?

Fine. Long story short,

I can tell you where to find Duan Yue Rong.

However, you must do me a favour.

Who is that?

Who is that?

Yuan Fei Bai! You caught me off guard...

in Xi Du City back then!

Today, we shall settle the score!

Where is Hua Mu Jin?

Where is Hua Mu Jin?

Ask the King of Hell!

-Young Lord Fei Bai. -Commander Chen.

My father sent you to follow me?

The duke was worried about your safety.

So he sent me to covertly protect you.

My father wouldn't send men to protect me for no reason.

What exactly does my father want?

Enough talk! Attack!

Young Lord Fei Bai.

I'm saying this for the last time.

I can handle my own problems!

I don't need your protection!

Lu Shui.

Head to the southwest.

Why should I?

Duan Yue Rong and Hua Mu Jin...

are trying to return to the South state.

That is their only passage.

When you meet Duan Yue Rong,

lure him to the main road.

I'll ambush him there...

and put an end to his life!

He already ousted me!

How do I go back to him?

Duan Yue Rong might be clever,

but women are his soft spot.

Don't touch me!

When he sees your injury,

he'll let his guard down.

Yang Lu Shui.

You serve the emperor.

His Majesty wants him dead.

You know the consequence of...

defying the emperor's order, don't you?

Yes, sir.

His Majesty sent me to search for the Imperial Seal and posthumous edict.

Although it'll be dangerous, you don't have to worry.

It's not a difficult mission.

I will come back to you soon.

Fei Bai went to the south to find Hua Mu Jin.

This boy's love for Hua Mu Jin...

really reminds me of my younger self.

But I won't allow any woman...

to occupy Fei Bai's heart.

The future of Yuan family...

is in his hands.

I won't let anything...

or anyone...

ruin him.

Tell me.

Are all fathers the same?

This isn't enough.

Mr. Physician, please just let me have one set of medicine.

I'll pay the remaining amount tomorrow.

Please, Mr. Physician.

Alright.

Thank you, Mr. Physician!

Sir, how may I help you?

Mr. Physician, did you see this person?

This woman? She just left.

She just left?

-Go after her! -Yes!

Is she sick?

She came to get some medicine for her husband.

Her husband is severely injured.

He's probably dying.

Did you treat him?

Sir, I didn't treat him.

I didn't even examine him.

I just made them leave.

Physicians should be compassionate!

How could you be so heartless?

-Guards! Drag him out! -Yes!

Sir, I'm not heartless!

I gave his wife a set of medicine!

Wait. Wife?

What kind of medicine? Speak!

Young Lord Fei Jue.

Mr. Guo told us to wait for him.

This is the right direction.

Besides, a sandstorm is brewing.

It's dangerous to stay.

Bi Ying!

Young Lord Fei Jue!

Young Lord Fei Jue, wake up!

Are you alright, Guang Qian?

Be careful.

You're bleeding.

Imperial Physician, how is he?

Your Majesty.

I am...

terribly sorry!

You left more than a decade ago.

Back then, you were still a charming young man.

Now, your face...

shows the hardships you went through.

Life in the Central Plain as foreigners...

must have been rough.

I'm fine.

I will always be ready to serve Your Majesty.

But I've failed you.

Because of me, the prince...

Stop blaming yourself from now.

Your Highness, please wake up.

Me and Qing Jiang's child...

will not be so fragile.

It was all my fault.

His Highness wouldn't have sustained such severe injury...

if he didn't come to my rescue.

Ms. Bi Ying, it wasn't your fault.

Even if it was a stranger who fell into the sand pit,

His Highness would have saved him too.

-He's awake. -Fei Jue.

-You're awake. -He's awake!

-My child. -Your Highness!

-Young Lord Fei Jue. -Your Highness!

Who are you?

-Your Highness. -My child.

Who are you people? What do you all want?

-What's wrong? -Go away!

Your Highness!

Go away! Get lost!

What's going on, Imperial Physician?

Your Majesty.

The prince's head was badly injured.

That might have caused memory loss.

A head injury could be serious.

I'm worried that it might affect other aspects of his health.

So, we must...

calm him down.

This...

-What's wrong, my child? -Your Highness.

Go away! Don't come near me!

Your Highness, what's wrong with you?

It was all my fault.

If you didn't have to save me,

you wouldn't be so severely injured.

Mu Jin. Hua Mu Jin.

Yes! You're Mu!

-Mu. -Young Lord Fei Jue.

Young Lord Fei Jue.

Mu, what's wrong?

Your Majesty.

Mu, who are they?

Why aren't you talking to me?

Who are you?

Ms. Mu, please stay with the prince.

Please stay with the prince!

Don't leave me, Mu.

Don't leave me, Mu.

Mu.

Don't worry too much, my sister.

Guang Qian merely tore his old wound.

I just applied some vulnerary on his wound.

I'm sure he'll get well soon.

Thank you, Young Lord Fei Qing.

I've been having nightmares lately.

I thought the two of you...

I'm so glad both of you are alive.

-Take this. -Young Lord Fei Qing.

Take it. You might need it.

I'll send someone to deliver some money to you every day.

My dear sister, while you were missing,

I often stared at this jade...

and thought of you.

I had to suffer from this loneliness alone.

How could you leave it behind?

Come. Keep it.

This will remind you of me.

Brother, I'm sorry.

I made you worry.

Young Lord Fei Qing, I have a request.

What are you doing? Get up.

-Get up. -Young Lord Fei Qing, please...

take Fei Yan back to Zi Yuan.

Guang Qian, what are you saying?

We agreed to stay together.

Are you going back on your word?

Fei Yan, why would I?

I will be with you.

However, I can't bear to...

let you leave your family.

Young Lord Fei Qing, please agree to my request.

Brother, I've married Guang Qian.

In this lifetime,

I will live if he lives and die if he dies.

Brother.

Please be merciful to your sister...

and spare us.

Don't take me back to Zi Yuan.

Did you just say that...

the two of you...

are married?

Yes.

Stand up.

This isn't a permanent solution.

I need to find a way to let the two of you return to Zi Yuan.

But the duke...

Don't worry.

Although my father ordered to kill you,

from my understanding of my father,

if you could make up for your mistake,

my father would surely forgive the two of you.

Really, brother? Do you have a solution?

His Majesty issued a secret order...

and instructed father...

to find the late emperor's Imperial Seal and posthumous edict.

If you go to Ya Province ahead of him...

and obtain the two things,

father will surely be forgiving.

Brother, I'll go.

Guang Qian is still recovering from his injury.

Please look after him for me.

No.

Let's go together.

But it's a long journey...

and you've yet to recover.

Fei Yan, as your brother said,

I merely tore my old wound.

Thanks to your attentive care,

I'm much better now.

Besides, I'm your husband.

How can I put you in danger?

Even if one of us must die, we should die together.

This...

How come the bridge broke?

Should we spend the night here...

and look for another way tomorrow?

Here?

It hurts so much.

It's good that you collected firewood.

I order you to...

cook for me tonight.

I'm starving.

You want me to cook? What about you?

I'll watch you cook.

I've walked all day.

I can't even stand straight now.

Give me a massage later.

Dream on.

How wishful.

There's nothing here.

How do I cook?

Here's our dinner.

-Don't overcook it. -Just shut up and wait.

Duan Yue Rong.

No matter what I do for you,

you'd still prefer this woman you picked up.

But you'll die...

if you get involved with a woman from Yuan family.

Alright.

Let me get rid of this threat for you.

No. I'm not Mu Jin.

I can't deceive Young Lord Fei Jue...

or betray Mu Jin.

You've seen the prince's condition.

He doesn't remember anything at all.

He's so irritable and scared now.

Ms. Bi Ying.

Only you can calm him down.

If you don't pretend to be Hua Mu Jin,

no one can save the prince.

But Mu Jin is my sister.

I can't betray her and steal her lover.

You're too naive.

You don't know the true colours of your own sister.

What do you mean?

After being punished by Miss Yuan,

your injury recovered extremely slowly.

It was as though you were disabled.

You were sick for a long time.

Do you remember that?

That was because...

you were affected by a slow poison called the Flowing Glow Dust.

Slow poison?

Think back carefully.

While you were recovering,

wasn't it Hua Mu Jin who gave you those ginseng pills?

Those pills contained...

the Flowing Glow Dust, a deadly poison from the Western Region.

This poison can rapidly weaken a person's body...

and ultimately cause a sudden death.

No way!

Mu Jin fought with Jin Xiu for me...

and General Affairs Bureau forever.

She wouldn't harm me!

Besides,

I didn't stop consuming those ginseng pills...

and nothing bad happened to me.

That was because I ordered Amir...

to swap the ginseng pills with some other supplements!

If you don't believe me, you can ask Amir.

Ms. Bi Ying, think back carefully.

Did you recover rapidly...

since you moved to Yu Bei Zhai?

Mr. Guo.

I'm sure you're lying in order to convince me...

to impersonate Mu Jin.

I don't believe a word you said.

If you don't believe me,

why are you so sad?

Why are you crying?

It's because you know that I'm telling the truth.

You just want to lie to yourself...

and hold on to that fake bond with Hua Mu Jin.

Ms. Bi Ying, this is the truth.

Ms. Bi Ying, are you alright?

I'm disgusted.

How can human hearts be so scary?

-Mu Jin. -I don't know why Hua Mu Jin...

gave you poison to weaken your body.

But in terms of character,

you are so much better than her.

You are the only one the prince trusts now.

He sees you as Hua Mu Jin.

Ms. Bi Ying, this is fate.

Ms. Bi Ying.

The future of Gong Yue is in your hands.

Please stay with the prince and take care of him...

until he gets well.

Is that alright?

Ms. Bi Ying, I beg of you!

No one else can save the prince now!

Only you can save him!

Unless you agree,

I will not rise.

Mr. Guo.

I'm begging you!

Why are you here?

What are you doing?

Let go of her!

Don't worry. I won't hurt her.

If you agree to accept me,

we can head to the north and go beyond the great wall...

for a carefree life.

Alright?

You think I didn't know that...

you're a spy...

sent by Duan Guang Yi?

You want to kill me, don't you?

Hu Yong is at the north now.

You want to capture me for him, don't you?

I won't fall for your trap.

Am I such a despicable woman to you?

Lu Shui!

Lu Shui!

Lu Shui!

Mu Jin.

Mu Jin.

Mu Jin.

Let me untie your hands.

Are you alright?

What's going on?

Mu Jin!

Why?

Why do I feel so weak?

Why are my legs...

and arms so weak?

Why?

It's Inseparable.

You're joking, right?

I won't bully you anymore.

Be honest. Tell me it's not true.

Right?

What's wrong with Yuan family?

They are all despicable people!

They are all scoundrels!

This will attest the rumour about my lost of chastity.

How will Fei Bai see me?

Why am I thinking of him again?

Who are you people?

The secret guards of Yuan family.

Brothers! The duke ordered...

to kill Hua Mu Jin!

You scoundrels!

Heir Apparent Duan!

Calm down, Heir Apparent Duan.

Please wait, brothers.

I'm the one the duke wants to kill.

Please spare him.

He's the only son of King Yu of the South state.

If you kill him,

you'll start a war between the South state and Xi Du.

By then, I'm afraid...

You! Get lost!

Leave, Heir Apparent Duan.

Leave.

Leave!

I know you're just acting upon the duke's order.

Please pass a message to Young Lord Fei Bai for me.

I have not betrayed him.

Run!

Don't move! That's poison!

We're safe now.

We're alright now.

We're alright now.

Stop, Heir Apparent Duan.

Why can't I move this rock?

Heir Apparent Duan.

How do you expect me to feel...

after what happened to me?

I've just become a useless man!

My father and I are persecuted by Duan Guang Yi.

Hu Yong is hunting me down!

How do you expect me to feel?

Heir Apparent Duan.

It was all your fault.

I would have been fine if I didn't kill you!

Look.

The Inseparable is taking effect on me too.

This is Yuan family's punishment for disloyal people.

Throughout this journey...

I won't live long anyway.

I'll die with you.

I'll pay you with my life.

Are you alright?

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

Apologising doesn't help at this point.

What's done is done.

Now, I'm just thinking of...

finding a way to take you to the South state,

so that you can testify for us.

This is the only way to save my father.

As for the Inseparable,

there are many famous physicians in the South state...

and I'm sure they can take care of this.

I'm sure they've the antidote.

Thank you.

You don't have to thank me.

This is unlike you.

By the way,

the secret guards of Yuan family were poisoned by you.

They don't have the antidote. What will happen to them?

That was just...

the seasoning I used on the roast rabbit.

They weren't poisoned.

You tricked them?

Of course.

Otherwise, we would be dead by now.

Duan Yue Rong.

You asked for this.

Since you love her so much,

I won't let you have her.

Ya Province is here.

We'll split up and search.

Once you find Eunuch Zhang,

signal the rest immediately with fireworks.

-Yes! -Go!

Go!

Go!

Follow them. Let them go first.

They'll do all the work for us.

Yes.

My lord.

Commander Chen has arrived at Ya Province.

She has started searching for Eunuch Zhang.

Report!

My lord, the troop sent to hunt for the wanted ones...

ran into Hua Mu Jin and Duan Yue Rong on the road to the South state.

Unfortunately, the two got away.

There was another strange thing about them.

Heir Apparent Duan of the South state...

seemed to have lost all of his strength and ability to fight.

He couldn't fight back at all at the time.

I'm informed.

Keep searching.

Report to me anytime if there's any information.

Yes.

Duan Yue Rong is affected by the poison of the Inseparable.

Hua Mu Jin!

I thought that...

Hua Mu Jin would protect her chastity...

for the sake of her position.

I can't believe she fell for Duan Yue Rong.

She will surely serve Duan family.

Hua Mu Jin, do you have any respect for Yuan family at all?

Greetings, my lord.

Rise.

Qing Mei.

When Hu Yong attacked Zi Yuan,

you fought hard to protect the Dark Palace.

You did an excellent job.

You used to lead the Dark Army of the East.

Now, I want you to...

lead the soldiers of the Dark Army of the East...

to accomplish a mission.

Please instruct me.

Madam Lian, forgive me for not welcoming you earlier.

I ordered the servants to pack up your things in Rong Bao Hall...

and bring them over.

Greetings, my lord.

My lord, you came at the right time.

I was planning to invite you to Rong Bao Hall.

Yun Er hasn't seen his father for days.

Jin Xiu, you'll join me on a trip a few days from now.

My lord.

Why can't you bring me along...

if you could take Jin Xiu?

I was told that Fei Yun throws a tantrum...

whenever you're away.

It's been hard on you.

You should go back and check on him.

I've something to discuss with Jin Xiu.

Yes.

You may retire.

I can give you the position you want.

But you must seize the opportunity yourself.

Now, I'm giving you a chance.

If you seize it,

you will stand above everyone.

If you don't seize the chance,

you might even lose your life.

Do you dare?

I do.

Good. Then come with me to Ya Province.

Mu.

My mother agreed to make you my crown princess.

Mr. Guo, I heard from my mother that...

you assisted and accompanied me over the past decade.

One's teacher is one's father for life.

So, I want you to be our witness.

Sure, Your Highness.

I, Yuan Fei Jue, will love and protect Mu forever.

Mu, why are you so quiet?

You don't want to marry me?

I'm not...

Of course she's willing to marry Your Highness.

She was just too nervous and panicky.

It's a shame I've poor eyesight.

I can't see you and the rose in your hair clearly.

But, I'm sure you're as beautiful as the fairy in the snowy mountain.

I love the scent of the rose on you.

From today onwards,

I will bring you a rose every day.

If it's from you, it's the best gift ever.
