Episode 63
My words are paired with my deeds, it may be proven. My feelings are paired with my expressions, that has not changed - Reciting Regret, Nine Chapters, by Qu Yuan
Everyone looks down at me. No women like me!
Only she really treats me well.
Zhuang Qiao, have you really thought about it?
For a woman, is it worth it?
She's the King's woman too!
In your eyes, she's the King's woman.
But in my eyes,
she's just a pitiful person from a destroyed country.
You don't understand. But I do!
Zhuang Qiao, if His Majesty finds out about this,
the both of you would die!
So what if I die? I am a man,
to die for her, I am willing.
Do you really believe she loves you?
Of course.
Zhuang Qiao, this person has never had her heart in the right place,
I am afraid that's she just using you!
Big Brother!
You may not talk about her like this.
Not to mention that she has not. Even if she is using me,
I too am willing.
Zhuang Qiao.
Big Brother,
I respect you being my big brother.
But the things you said. I refuse to look into them.
Had someone else been doing this,
I would surely make him die in front of me.
Zhuang Qiao, I must say it even if you don't like it.
Nothing good will come out of you two being together!
Nothing good? How come? Being together one day makes me happy for one day.
And as to what comes afterwards, why should I worry?
Okay, alright.
Go away. Go away, the further the better!
Big Brother, I cannot have this issue linked to you and to my sister-in-law.
I know what I have to do.
This Zhang Qiao, he made me furious.
Simply beyond belief.
When it comes to feelings, things are always a bit 'absurd'.
You sympathize with them?
Back then, you loved Sister Mo Chou whole-heartedly
but to no avail, it was you and I who became a couple.
I had thought that you and I would be enemies forever.
Instead we now accompany and rely on each other
and have a son and daughter.
Is this 'absurd' or not?
We're different from them.
People in the midst of things will always think they're different.
Not realizing that for those looking from the outside,
it's all the same.
Tell me what do you plan on doing for this.
I don't know either.
Are you not scared that they'll tell people?
They will not betray us.
You're not scared, but I am.
All in all, just don't come again in the future.
Then what do you think?
Unless...
Unless what?
Unless you make them not able to open their mouths ever again.
No!
Why not?
That's my sister-in-law!
You take her as sister-in-law what does she take you for?
She will not betray me.
If this gets to His Majesty's ears, we'll both die.
That still won't do.
Can you bear letting me die for her?
If you die, I'll accompany you.
But I'll leave my word here,
I will not allow anyone to touch my Big Brother and Sister-in-Law!
Mo Chou Palace
Big Sister, what's wrong?
Something is going to happen to Qu Yuan.
Didn't he just get out of jail? What else can happen?
No!
He's in danger.
He's in danger.
Mo Chou?
Sister Mo Chou,
why have you become so wan?
I wanted to go visit you a few days ago,
but Qing'er said you were sick. Are you better now?
Sorry to have troubled you, Big Sister. Is Ling Jun in?
Yes, come with me.
Okay.
Husband,
Mo Chou?
You're okay now?
I am very well. I've told you before,
"If the body is upright, what fear is there of the skewed shadow?" (T/N a clear conscience has no fear of false accusations)
By the way, how are the political reforms coming along?
In the last few days, I was still pondering over how to make the reforms proceed faster.
I was going to put aside the well-field system for now and start with the salt merchants. (T/N: land distribution system used from 9th century to 221 BCE, end of Warring States Period)
Salt merchants?
I have heard that you've requested His Majesty
to have the government take back the rights to mine salt and copper.
That's right. The price of salt within Ying Du is rather high at the moment.
These salt merchants are hoarding and are only concerned with their own profits, speculating and driving up the prices.
I cannot just watch the people get swindled by their greed.
I'm afraid that Father-in-law has profited much of this as well.
Husband, are you really going to shed all pretense of civility with Father?
Even so, I must still do it.
The reform is like a warrior deciding to break his wrist, (T/N martial arts metaphor, to take action/ make a move)
short pain is better than long term pain.
When we recall this pain in the future, we'll find that it doesn't hurt so much.
Who do you think is willing to experience this pain with you today?
To ask with a tiger for it's pelt, is it not a joke?
What do you want to say?
I had a dream, there was an inauspicious gua in the dream. (T/N: divination hexagram)
Which gua ?
The Kan-Gua. (T/N Hexagram 29 of Zhou YI, "Gorge, Abyss or Entrapment" )
"Trap within trap, traverse the dangerous path and danger you'll find."
This gua says that Husband will be met with many difficulties?
I've long since stopped believing in these superstitions.
Husband!
What is indicated by the gua , it's better to believe it's true than not believing in it.
Even if it's the case, so what? As long as His Majesty supports the reforms,
I'll will push it with all my powers.
His Majesty?
Do you really think His Majesty will believe in you as much as you've always believed in him?
Have you thought that one day,
maybe he'll not believe you anymore?
Even if there is such a day, I will still seek high and low, never stopping till death.
You are forcing yourself onto a road to ruin.
If I do not go to the ruinous end, how else am I to find rebirth?
After coming out from the jail this time,
he seems to be even more urgent than before.
But some things you cannot rush.
To change Chu, how can it be reached in one step?
But since Husband has made up his mind,
then let us finish walking down this path with him.
Of course.
Except I'm a bit worried.
I'm afraid that the road moving forward,
will be narrower and narrower and perhaps one day...?
Luckily you are in the Court as well, perhaps you can help him out.
I'll put my full effort into what I can do.
It's just His Majesty may not listen to my words as before.
No matter what, thank you.
No matter how I help him, I'm still an outsider.
Only you, Big Sister, can be at his side at all times,
and help him at all times.
The years are long and things are unpredictable.
A lot of times perhaps even I would not be able to look after him.
Big Sister, you've thought too far.
It's not that I've thought too far,
it's that I cannot help but worry.
- Master - How is it?
I have contacted all the salt merchants in Ying Du,
but they're either not at home or have declined.
Master, should I go invite them again?
No need, just go wait outside.
We'll take who ever comes. I'll wait here.
Yes.
Grand Advisor Shang's Manor
Qu Yuan actually got out of jail again?
This person is nothing but trouble.
In my opinion its better to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Once this blows over, I'll take care of him in due time.
Can you even get to that day?
Even if you're willing to wait, Qu Yuan wouldn't.
Are you not afraid that he'll cause more trouble for you in the future?
That Qu Yuan is just always at odds with me now.
Do you know? Even now he's lobbying for salt authority reforms.
This has always been mine and Zhao He's turf.
There's something like this going on?
He's even at odds with Zhao He?
Is he mad?
Qu Yuan has always been mad.
But the ones who should be mad now would be the salt merchants of Ying Du.
Those people now hate him with all their worth.
But I have instructed them, they will ignore him.
I'm just afraid that His Majesty will have a fit of stupidity and actually listen to his nonsense.
If that happens it'll be troublesome.
Instead of sitting and waiting for things to happen, why not...
Why not what?
Return the move and strike out.
You make it sound easy. How do we hit back?
There's no need for you to make a move for this.
You mean... ?
You, me and all those ministers in the court,
which one of us does not wish for him to die?
Didn't you just say,
those salt merchants hate him with all their worth?
You mean... borrow another's hand
to kill him for our purpose?
How is it?
No one came.
Subtitles and Timing Brought To You By The Gone With The Shirt Team @ Viki
The salt merchants are managed by the Chancellor and Grand Adviser.
Since the merchants didn't come today, it's probably because of their influence.
You're saying that my Father privately talked to the merchants and forbade them from coming?
Never mind. I knew it was going to be difficult to push through the reforms.
I was just a little down-spirited.
What are you thinking of, Husband?
I'm thinking about the two of us, in the present.
Back then when we got married,
there were too many misunderstandings.
How could we have realized that we can be as happy as we are today?
Seeing Ying'er and Shu'er growing up every day,
sometimes I really don't want to do anything anymore,
and just enjoy the joys of a loving family.
Husband, why are you saying such words today?
It's nothing...
I just think that time passes so quickly.
In a flash it's almost ten years.
Yes... Ten years time passes like
the white stallion galloping across the rifts.
Luckily there's you who's always there beside me,
helping me look after this family.
Am I really that important in your heart, Husband?
Bixia, after Father and Mother passed away,
you are the closest person to me in this world.
Hearing this from you, I know I have no regrets in this life.
Husband, in this life,
you've written so many world-famous poems,
but none of them were for me.
Yearning for your arrival but you do not come,
Playing the panpipes, for whom do these feelings linger?
Setting afloat the dragon boats to head north,
changing course for the beautiful Dongting Lake.
Using vines for curtains, sweet clover for tents,
fragrant iris for oars, magnolias for a banner.
Tears fall unhindered,
thinking of you but cannot speak.
Long oars from cinnamon, short oars from magnolia
Pushing aside the water is like boring through ice and pilling up snow.
Husband what is this poem called?
Xiang Jun. ("The Lord of Xiang").
"The Lord of Xiang"?
Husband, this poem is so well-written,
I like it very much.
I remember Sister Mo Chou also had a similar poem
called Xiang Fu Ren. ("The Lady of Xiang")
That was all in the past. Why bring it up again?
It may be in the past,
but the feelings are still present.
Bixia...
Do not be concerned about the feeling
between you and Sister Mo Chou.
If Little Sister Mo Chou had not entered the Palace back then,
I really hoped that we could have accompanied you together,
just like how E Huang and Nuying accompanied
the Emperor Shun back then. (T/N "Fairy Radiance" and "Maiden Bloom", wives of the Legendary Emperor Shun circa 2200 BCE)
Bixia, thank you.
It's just that it is enough to just have you.
I only wish to grow old with you together.
♫ All the world is drunk, letting one's life drift in the ebb and flow of azure waves. ♫
♫ The flying wild geese will carry me to soar far above the nine heavens as I will. ♫
No matter where we are, we'll be tied together in life and death.
Grand Adviser Shang's Manor
Are you two afraid?
Grand Adviser, Qu Yuan is choosing to die!
He wouldn't take the easy path, and instead came to steal our fortune!
-He can't blame us! -Since it has come to this,
what should we fear? I'll kill him!
What do you two intend to do?
What do we intend to do?
I don't believe that thousands of gold can't buy us an assassin.
You must leave no tracks behind.
Also, what happened today,
only the heavens and the earth know about it.
Don't worry. Even ghosts won't know it.
Grand Adviser Shang, just wait for the good news.
What did you say?
You suspect your own father now?
Whether or not you gave the order, you know that very well!
He, Qu Yuan, in reforming the salt rights,
totally didn't give any respect to me at all.
What power do I have to stop him?
If no one really comes,
that is because he has totally lost the confidence of the people.
I know.
He has offended a lot of of people's interest this time including yours.
But Ling Jun isn't wrong, why must you stop him?
How ridiculous!
As the Chancellor of Chu, for some small benefits, would I try to harm him?
Chancellor? It's the chancellor position again!
Father, when can you let go of your chancellor position?
At the beginning, for the chancellor position,
you wanted me to marry him.
Now, for the chancellor position again,
you just stand and watch, not helping him at all!
The supposed family affection, in your eyes,
cannot even begin to compare to your position and future.
Father! You've disappointed me too much!
Xia'er!
Just what are you doing?
You were talking just fine!
Why are you hitting her?
You should hear what she's saying!
Am I wrong!
Stop talking.
I...don't have a daughter like you!
You can go look for your Qu Yuan.
From today on,
do not return to this home again.
Xia'er!
Let her go! You're not allowed to stop her!
Xia'er!
It's going to be the Dragon Boat Festival very soon!
I originally wanted to celebrate properly with the children
and eat dinner together!
Why be like this?
What dinner? I think this family
should just be dissolved!
"You distance yourself from the secular world, coming and going all alone.
Dare to walk horizontally than just follow the flow.
Careful and meticulous, never rash.
Not making a mistake ever since."
Prince, you always read Qu Yuan's poems.
I've heard it so many times that there's a callus in my ear.
I really want to go to the State of Chu and visit Qu Yuan.
The King of Chu is your uncle.
Qin and Chu have poor relationships right now,
but you and the King are still family.
Going to the State of Chu shouldn't be that difficult.
What nonsense!
Mother.
What did you say to the Prince just now?
I...
Hurry and go!
Yes.
Mother, she was just discussing poems with me.
How much can she know about the State of Chu?
She doesn't know?
I think she knows it very well.
You too, always reading such useless things.
Yet you don't go thinking about how to take the throne from your older brother.
Mother, I already said I don't want to be king.
You..!
It's enough for the State of Qin to be strong. It doesn't matter who is king.
What a joke! How can it be the same?
I have no hopes for power.
Then the State of Chu and Xiong Huai, how did they treat me?
Have you forgotten too?
I do not dare to forget.
Become king.
Only if you become king,
can everything become possible.

Your Majesty, the Horizontal Alliance strategy concerns the Qin's grand plan of conquering the whole world.
You have worked hard.
For Your Majesty, naturally I should work hard.
Then how is your grand plan going?
Since the Hangu Pass, the Vertical Alliance clearly failed.
Although the State of Chu has Qu Yuan to help change it, it will be hard for them to make any grand achievement
without the help of other countries. Right now, we just have to prevent Qi and Chu from uniting again.
Our grand ambition then will succeed very soon.
Please wait, Prime Minister.
Consort Bazi Mi?
What you were talking to the King about just now, I overheard a little of it.
You are indeed a person who does great things.
You are overthinking it, Lady Consort.
It's just that within your plan, you are missing the most important step.
What is it?
The King.
The King?
Even if your plan is more perfect,
it still needs a powerful executor.
What do you mean, Lady Consort?
The King is growing old.
There are some things I'm afraid he doesn't have the strength to do.
The State of Qin will eventually have a new king.
Don't you want to set up a backup path for yourself?
Then you mean...?
You know what I'm talking about.
Consort Bazi, you plan and plan,
but the thing you didn't plan for was my heart.
Then how is your heart?
I only want to unite the world via the Horizontal Alliance strategy.
Let the world know about the Horizontal Alliance strategy of the Zhang family.
As for who becomes King of Qin,
what does that have to do with me?
You...!
Consort Bazi, I still have other things to do. I will take my leave.
Qu Manor
You should just wait to eat.
Yes, I'm too stupid.
Father is stupid!
You fought with Father-in-Law again?
No.
Don't keep it from me. During every Dragon Boat Festival in the past,
both families celebrated it together.
But this year, Father still hasn't sent someone to invite us over.
Naturally, I made some guesses.
In the future, we'll live our own lives.
You still have me with you.
There aren't enough leaves. Why don't I go buy some more?
It's already so late. Don't go.
That won't do, I still have to take some to Shu'er later.
Mother, I want to go too!
Okay, be careful!
-Come. -Be careful.
Be good, Ying'er.
Let's go!
Ying'er, there are lots of people on the streets, so you need to follow me closely.
Five-color-cord.. Selling five-color-cord.
Have a look. Have a look.
Selling cheap.
Five-color-cord.
Miss, have a look.
Selling cheap.
That's all you have?
Miss, this is pretty good considering the time.
I want to go buy five-color-cord. - Alright, we will in a bit.
Come look. Pretty five-color-cord.
Five-color-cord. Selling cheap.
This isn't very good.
Little girl, which do you like?
I like this one. - This? Here.
Thank you.
Here, these. And these.
Okay.
Goodbye.
Ying'er?
Ying'er?
Boss, have you seen a girl this big?
She just bought a five-color-cord and left.
Ying'er? Ying'er?
Ying'er.
They've been gone for so long and still not back.
Maybe I should go look.
Master. Mistress. This is bad.
What happened?
The little mistress disappeared.
What?
I went to buy zongzi leaves . (T/N usually bamboo or reed, to make zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival)
I turned around and she was gone.
I looked for her for a long time. My voice is almost gone.
I deserve to die.
Why can't you even keep an eye on a child?
Then where could Ying'er go?
Cai Wei, get up first.
Master.
What is this? - A farmer-looking man delivered it.
Where is he? - He left. He said someone asked him to deliver it.
He said to have you open it personally.
You may go.
By sunset, you two must bring thousands of gold
to the forest in the eastern suburbs in exchange for the child.
If you leak this, she will die.
These extremely evil people running wild really is not tolerable.
How can I let a criminal control me?
Cai Wei, go and bring out all my dowry.
If it's not enough, go look for my parents!
No! No.
Husband! Ying'er's life is in their hands!
Bixia, I already told you not to come.
It's hard to assess the danger of this trip. Those criminals surely are heartless and have no conscience.
Stop talking, Husband.
Ying'er's life is in danger and you are risking yours.
How can I just not care and do nothing?
Husband, if they get the money,
will they let Ying'er go?
Now that it has come to this, there's nothing else we can do.
Husband, although this trip is full of danger,
I am willing to go with you, to be with you in life and death.
Don't worry, Bixia. It'll be okay.
General Zhuang! General Zhuang!
Caiwei? What's wrong?
This is already the forest at the eastern suburbs.
Stop the carriage!
Master, let me go instead.
-Take care of my wife. -Father, save me!
Yes.
Husband!
Don't worry.
Father!
Father, save me!
Save me, Father!
Save me! Save me, Father!
Save me!
Lord Qu, you're quite trustworthy.
Father, save me!
Let her go.
-Ying'er! -Father!
Lord Qu, you can leave.
Shoot!
Don't be afraid, Ying'er.
Husband!
Master!
-Husband! -Ying'er!
-Ying'er! Hurry and go! -Hurry and go!
Hurry and go!
-Bixia! -Mother!
Bixia!
Mother!
Bixia!
Mother! Mother!
Mother!
