"Episode Twenty-nine" "Wei Shuyou." "You bastard." "You are unqualified to call my name." "You'd better fold your hands for capture." "Then I will not destroy your dead body." "I killed these men and hurt Wei Shuyou." "You can do your duties." "If we don't take actions now, it will be hard to save Prince." "Our actions now will prove Yan Xun guilty." "We can't leap in the dark anymore." "But the emperor is inconsistent, and also a soft touch." "In the main hall, Prince is..." "I have an idea." "It's feasible." "It's too dangerous for you." "I'll do it." "Alright, I can't go see her." "Only you can go." "The time is limited." "We will be stuck in here after a while." "Fine, you take care." "Princess." "What?" "The maid of Prince Yan Xun bought over an entrance guard, and is waiting outside." "She says that Prince Yan Xun is in trouble and beg for your help." "Hurry up." "Master Siliu." "Second Young Master Wei failed." "Yan Xun is being sent to Imperial Palace to see His Majesty." "Young Master let us carry away the killers' body on the sly." "Go and see." "Yes." "You guys find a chance to bury those bodies." "Be quick." "Yes, yes." "Carry away those bodies." "Leave!" "Princess has orders to protect the killers' bodies." "Hurry up." "Hurry up." "Master Siliu, someone ambushed the housecarl of Wei Household." "The bodies were taken away by Princess' imperial bodyguards." "Stupid Wei Shuyou." "Master Siliu, what should we do?" "Get it back." " Yes." " Let's go." "Put them to the outside of the city." "I think those people will lie down outside the city at least for 4 hours." "and won't make any trouble." "(Sound of opening the door)" "Your Majesty." "You have ran out of the wine." "Let me change a new bottle for you." "Who are you?" "I'm your maidservant, and your person." "My person?" "Every place under the sun and everything on the earth all belong to you." "You really have a way with words." "What's your name?" "My name is Lan'er." "Lan'er." "Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." "Are you asleep?" "The situation is extremely urgent." "Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." "Come in." "Your Majesty." "What happened?" "There's something very important for you to deal with." "She is great, and is promoted to the Viscountess concubine with title Lan, and she can move into the Lanfu Palace." "Yes." "Yanxun, I just forgave you, but you dared to injure the other on with the sword as a guilty person." "I'm terrified." "I can't thank you enough for the infinite royal graciousness." "However, I just wanted to save my own life." "Wei Shuyou wanted to assassinate me late at night." "If I didn't fight back desperately," "I wouldn't have a chance to survive." "Please make a fair decision for me, Your Majesty." "I went there for the sake of Yanxun's security to go on a tour of normal inspection." "However, he had a plan to escape, and was found by me, so he wanted to kill me to do away with the witness." "Your Majesty." "Just like his father," "Yanxun has the wolfish ambition and is not worth to be trusted." "Do you have problem with your eyes?" "Couldn't you see there are so many dead bodies in the the Oriole Courtyard?" "It's obvious that Wei Shuyou assembled the assassinators and Yanxun just wanted to protect himself." "His Royal Highness Yu." "You can't believe what your cousin said." "Did you see any assassinator, Your highness?" "Or did you see any dead body?" "I didn't." " But..." " Song'er." "Stand down." "Your Majesty, I have questioned the guards the same night and got the testimonies." "There are only Wei Shuyou and Yanxun, and no assassinator at the night." "Your Majesty, the guards of the Oriole Courtyard all came from Yuwen Palace." "In my opinion, the testimonies are unreliable." "Your Majesty, I'm aware that it's very difficult for me to explain what happened today." "But I grew up in the Capital city since childhood, and you are wise and farsighted to know who I am." "Would I act like a gangster, and do things like villain?" "I believe your Majesty would a judicious decision." "Your Majesty, if you punish Yanxun for this," "I'm afraid there will be some suspicion of persecution." "A tiger father will not beget a dog son." "It's a good plan to inflict injury upon yourself to gain trust." "You not only framed Master Wei, but also fooled the Imperial concubine to believe you." "You are much better than your treason and heresy father." "What's this?" "Blue is extracted from the indigo plant but is bluer than the latter." "Master Huai." "If I were really as good as you said," "I would never get into such a plight." "However, hiding the knife in the sleeve, calling a stag a horse and talking black into white" "are real ability of Master Huai." "I have got the lesson." "Royal highness, don't sprinkle the nasty water on me." "His Majesty will get the final conclusion about the right and wrong." "However, you have already been under the custody, and we all have seen that you injured someone with the sword." "And you said there were assassinators, has someone seen them?" "Where is the evidence?" "You are just trying to cheat His Majesty." "He who has a mind to beat his dog will easily find his stick." "I'm just a son of concubine, and have no power at all." "Not to mention to deceive all people's eyes," "I even don't dare to injure someone with sword." "You overlooked me." "Yuwen Huai." "Of course you are not so capable." "Your Majesty." "Your Royal Highnesses." "Who let you come here?" "Don't play around here, just go back, now." "Your Majesty." "I've got something very important to report." "Go ahead." "The dead body outside the Palace was the assassinator sent by Wei Palace to kill Brother Yanxun tonight, and he was the personal henchman of Wei Shuyou." "Wei Shuyou always brought him and went around." "Many people in the Palace can recognize him." "And some people in this hall must be familiar with the guy as well." "Master Yuwen, is it true?" "Song'er, Yuwen Huai, check the boby outside." " Yes." " Yes." "Your Majesty." "The dead guy was really the personal henchman of Wei Shuyou." "What Chun'er just said was true." "Master Yuwen, couldn't you recognize him, could you?" "He looked familiar, but I didn't know him." "Yuwen Huai." "What do you mean he looked familiar?" "You hang around with" "Wei Shuyou everyday." "How could you not know his personal henchman?" "Shuyou, go and check the body, to make sure whether the guy was the maid of your palace or not." "You should look at it very carefully." "As far as this thing, you can't just muddle though it by refusing to admit." "You know," "I have got so many ways to tell the truth of your words." "Yes." "Your Majesty." "Your Royal Highnesses." "This guy was really the maid of my Palace." "Did you hear this, Yuwen Huai?" "He has admitted it himself, what do you have to say?" "Your highness, I thing even the maid of Wei Palace could be the spy who were arranged to stay around Master Wei." "You..." "By the way, when the Duke Dingbei had planned to conspire against the state, it's not hard for him to place some spies around the dignitaries." "You..." "That's right." "How could the prince know what happened in the Oriole Courtyard in the middle of the night, and then meet the assassinators with coincidence and bring him in front of His Majesty?" "Your Majesty." "This guy was the maid of my Palace, but he was not my personal henchman." "I just thought he was smart, so kept him around me." "I didn't expect that he had skillful martial arts, probably he was the spy who was arranged by some formidable guy." "I have been the guest in the Capital city since childhood, and I have always been cautious" "and tried my best not to do anything wrong to get the trouble." "Not to mention skillful martial arts," "I haven't got anyone with martial arts around me." "You are talking nonsense." "There are two persons with skillful martial arts around you." "A man and a woman." "If Your Majesty had no idea of it, we can find it out by taking them here for questioning." "Your Majesty, please pass judgement." "Wei Shuyou had planned to assassinate me at first, then he framed a case against me." "His cruel mind really made everyone bristle with anger." "I have been the guilty person, thanks to your mercy, so I can save my own life." "I would never bring the guy having martial arts around me." "You are talking nonsense." "Do you think you can save your life tonight if there weren't the two guys?" "You would have already cut into piece with swords by us." "Oh, so it is." "Did you hear that, Your Majesty?" "He just admitted it by himself." "I think it will be useless no matter what a silken tongue someone has." "Did you just say there is nobody else besides Yanxun and Wei Shuyou in the Oriole Courtyard?" "Your Majesty." "He is just talking nonsense because of the bout of the powder of five minerals." "You think I'm so foolish." "Your Majesty." "I should be blamed." "I have neglected my supervisory duties." "There is an imperial decree from the emperor to forbid the noble family to approach Yanxun." "Shuyou, you are really wasting the expectation of His Majesty." "You are supremely arrogant, and trying to deceive the emperor and ignore everybody else." "You are so damnable." "However, Your Majesty." "I watched him over the cradle." "Although he acts impulsively, he has a good nature." "It couldn't be his intention to do such things today." "There must be some bad guy to put him up to do something so disobedient." "You are right." "Father, since the truth has revealed itself, please punish them." "Brother Yan Xun is a victim here." "Please let him stand up." "Yan Xun, you may stand up now." "Thank you, Your Majesty." "Wei Shuyou, since the imperial concubine has put some good words for you," "I shall punish you by caning twenty times." "Think about your sins behind closed door." "Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave your place." "Father, he was going to assassinate Brother Yan Xun and he lied to you." "He has committed such a felony." "How can you just punish him by caning twenty times?" "Behave." " Father." " Chun'er." "You may all excuse yourselves now." "My night is totally ruined by you." "Prince Yan Xun, you are quite smart indeed to frame Wei Shuyou." "However, smartness won't do you any good." "Power is way more important." "Yuwen Huai." "You are quite mouthy." "You have great powers of utterance." "Your Highness." "I said those words with good faith." "Good faith?" "(Smirking)" "That is not needed here." "Stay away from" "Brother Yan Xun." "If you do this again," "I shall let you pay hard." "I have Your Highness cares about" "Yan Xun a lot." "Whatever I do is wrong." "Therefore, I have something to say to Your Highness as well." "Don't harm yourself for someone not worth it." "Brother Yan Xun," "I asked some medicine from the doctor." "You can have it." "I am not hurt that bad." "There is no need." "Thank you for your help today, Your Highness." "Thank you very much." "Brother Yan Xun..." "Your medicine." "Prince, please wait." "Yan Xun, I am sorry for what you went through." "I am so sorry that I didn't visit you." "What do you want to say exactly?" "If you don't like Her Highness, please make it clear." "Will His Highness make it back tonight?" "He will." "You were hurt." "It is nothing serious." "You better go inside and have some rest." "I shall wait here." "I am fine." "(Sound of door opening)" "Yan Xun." "Your Highness." "(Sound of door closing)" "Yan Xun." "How are you?" "We are fine." "What did the Emperor of the Wei State say?" "He punished Wei Shuyou by caning twenty times and doesn't allow him to leave his place." "That's all?" "Yes." "His Majesty never wanted to punish Wei Shuyou." "It was just a sign." "If he punished him too harshly, everyone will act cautiously from now on." "No one will ever try to kill Yan Xun again." "It is clearly not His Majesty's intention." "He only wants to control Yan Xun and then control Yanbei." "Yan Xun in danger is easier for him to deal with than Yan Xun in a safe place." "Look likes we need to be more careful from now on." "As long as we are still in Chang'an, we need to be extremely careful." "The Emperor of the Wei State wants to kill me." "I want to kill him as well." "(Sound of doors opening)" "Chu." "(Sound of doors closing)" "Here you are." "(Yeah)" "I think we are safe for tonight." "I shall sleep here." "You are hurt." "It's nothing serious." "Let me see." "I am fine." "Let me see." "I have dealt with it." "It stops bleeding now." "Yan Xun." "Where are you going?" "I am going to get some medicine." "Where exactly?" "I am going to Her Highness." "There are killers everywhere." "We are all hurt." "Even if we are not killed by them, you are committing a felony." "Please don't cause any trouble." "Yan Xun." "Yan Xun." "Yan Xun." "Be patient." "Be patient." "I am fine." "Don't mess yourself up because of me." "We finally survived." "We need to be very careful." "Think about your families." "Think about your parents." "They are looking at you from heaven." "Don't be impulsive." "Be patient." "Be patient." "Be patient please." "Everything will be all right." "I am fine." "(Sound of pulling out a sword)" "Young Master." "Do you need anything else?" "Call for the guards of Yue." "Yes, sir." "(Sound of pushing back a sword)" "Young Master Yue." "Please don't make things difficult for us." "Young Master Huai is not here." "His Young Master is here to visit the Grand Concubine of the third branch, not Young Master Huai." "The Grand Concubine of the third branch has been paralysed for years." "Her condition is too bad to meet with anyone." "Young Master Yue, please wait for Young Master Huai to come back." "You better leave now." "I am Yuwen Yue, the Grand Concubine of the third branch." "How are you?" "I am just a dead woman walking." "How do you think I am?" "You are Yue'er." "I have heard that you focus on studying Buddhism since I was little." "I was surprised to see you imprisoned in this secret room without any sunshine." "It has been for sixteen years." "I am like a mouse which can't be seen." "Sorry for that." "I am here to ask you to check an old item." "This was what my mother changed into in Jile Pavilion." "According to everyone, this is a dress of Herbaceous peony wore by low-classed concubines in Jile Pavilion." "Two months ago," "I found this dress in Jile Pavilion." "I realised that this is a dress of Peony wore by the Consort" "Herbaceous peony and Peony look very similar" "and this dress was damaged on purpose by someone." "You are right." "This is mine." "My mother was framed." "They said she was guilty of adultery because she was drunk with Yuwen Xi that night and she was changed into a dress she didn't even recognise." "(Laughing)" "Yuwen Xi lied to everyone." "Your mother was with me that night." "With you?" "I am the daughter of the Xie Houseld of the Black Gown Lane of the Nan Dynasty." "I am your mother's aunt." "That night, your mother came to visit me." "We had some wine." "I asked your mother to stay for the night." "I know about" "Yuwen Xi's character." "I was afraid that your mother's reputation might be ruined, so I trigger all the mechanism" "and went down here." "I asked your mother to change into this dress of Peony." "What happened next?" "Next?" "Something horrible happened." "That night," "Yuwen Xi tryied all the way to hold me here" "16 years since that they only two deaf maids supervise and serve me here" "How coud he be so cruel" "Then why didn't he kill you" "You think he doesn't want to?" "He keep me alive only for his greedy desire" "He hooked up with agents from Liang" "I have talked too much today" "You need more time" "to listen to more stories" "Yuwen Yue" "Who let you in?" "I came in myself" "Can't you see it?" "You are starting a fight" "Don't blame me for it later on" "Almost forget" "I took the endeavor of the third branch" "You' better be smart and send my grandmother back" "Or I'll make you Green Hill courtyard full of blood" "Are you threatening me?" "You think I will just threaten?" "You may not care being laughed at for the fight between brothers of Yuwen" "But don't you care that your third branch will be totally destroyed with the revival or your grandmother?" "Once the xeret is revealed" "I may not get away with it" "But you are also one of the Yuwen family" "You can't reveal me without getting yourself involved" "Let's have a try." "We'll see it" "If I told the majesty you, the third branch hang up with Liang agents," "will he forgive me because I reveal the truth?" "Yuwen Yue" "What the hell do you want?" "I'm about to go to the border" "Strong wind, bad weather" "Not comfortable to live" "I'm thinking I am there suffering, while you enjoying yourself in your house" "I am stingy, unhappy with that" "How about this?" "I find you another place to live" "Go guard the grave of royal family" "Because you are really good at dealing with dead people" "I give you three days to volunteer to the majesty" "Before I leave Chang'an you must get out of here first" "Or" "I'll send you to the hell to company your grandfather" "Yuwen Yue you go too far in bullying me" "Master" "Master" "Come in" "Master, good news" "Yuwen Yue is leaving" "Chang'an to the border tomorrow morning" "Ma.." "Master" "Why are you hitting me?" "No reason" "Because you need to be hit" "Your highness" "I received a secret report" "The grand wife of third branch has moved to the Green Hills from the Jile Pavilion" "That's why Yuwen Huai tell the majesty he volunteer to guard the grave of royal family" "Turns out his weakness is controled by Yuwen Yue" "You really are wisdom" "Prince, following the order of the royal family we are handled the job of guarding the yard" "And prince Yu asked me to bring you this sword" "He said to return it to to the owner" "Please extend him my appreciation" "I will" "We will loose the regulation of the yard tomorrow" "Except for the prince everyone has the freedom to get in or out" "Prince, seems like the intelligence that" "Yuwen Huai and Yuwen Yue will leave the city is true" "Yuwen family won't interfere us any more" "Although our biggest enemy Yuwen Huai is not here we still need to be cautious" "I understand" "Taste the dishes from my hometown" "Haven't eat these for a long time" "Is that reliable?" "Prince" "Prince, A'jing is here" "A'jing, do you remember me?" "Prince, I thought I can't see you any more" "Get up" "Where is general Meng He?" "Prince" "My father died on the battle field" "He asked me to find you before his death" "Luckily," "I survived the war" "Then I came to Chang'an" "I searched you for three months and met Miss Yu finally" "Prince, my father suffered too much before death" "Do not worry" "We will revenge for them" "Prince, I want to follow you around" "I can not only cook but also wrestle" "I will do whatever" "I can for you" "Good" "Be my guard" "Thank you, prince"
