Episode 70
Spring has orchids while autumn has chrysanthemums, it has been like that ever since, not stopping, until the end of time. - Honoring the Dead, from Nine Songs by Qu Yuan
Ever since the day we came here,
we had no choice.
Aren't I the same?
The person I like most sent me here.
Do you still love him?
The person you love most sent you here.
And I...was personally sent here by my royal brother.
For their supposed empire.
But a man's supposed empire
has no women in it.
The person who should leave is me...is me...
To their empire,
I am already useless.
And you, are their important pawn.
To them,
perhaps the one to survive first is you.
Princess.
If you got to choose again,
would you still come here?
I don't know.
Perhaps I would still come.
After all, he told me to come.
"Him"?
If he really loves you, would he have sent you here?
If I got to choose again,
I'd rather not be born into the royal family.
I'd rather be a commoner
and live a peaceful life.
But in this world,
is there really a life without wars?
Mo Chou. I'm worried that Zhang Yi has ties with people in the Chu palace.
Don't worry. I've already ordered someone to watch Tian Ji.
If anything happens, I'll tell you immediately.
No.
Tian Ji shouldn't be the only one. Besides her, there should be others.
Others? Who?
I don't know. I went to the prison today and saw Zhang Yi.
From his words, I feel like there's more than one spy.
Then who could it be?
Perhaps it is not just in the harem.
You're talking about the court?
Could there be Zhang Yi's spy in court?
Princess has shown great righteousness and great courage.
I thank the Princess on behalf of the State of Qin.
In my royal brother's eyes,
I am just a useless pawn.
It's just right that he abandons me and saves her.
This can be the last thing I do for my country.
Princess has great benevolence and righteousness.
Benevolence and righteousness are just pretenses that you men use.
I don't believe any benevolence or righteousness of pushing a woman to the heart of a struggle.
What Princess said is a bit biased.
You sacrificed yourself for the plan to rule the world.
Zhang Yi. You don't understand women at all.
Perhaps you never wanted to understand women.
Or else, you wouldn't have sent her here.
The world that women think of isn't as big as the one you men think of.
-Princess- -Enough, stop talking.
I understand everything. I am willing to die.
But it is not for the world you talk about.
It's because I don't want to keep living a life where my body exists but my heart is already dead anymore.
I'm already dead.
What you all see is just my body.
In this life, I've always floated around outside.
I will have no chance to return again.
Now, I can return to the State of Qin again.
Please bury this hair in my birthplace.
At least my soul can travel back to my homeland.
Mother.
Very soon, I can see you again.
Big Sister Ying.
Mo Chou. Come here.
Look at my hairpin. Is it pretty?
Yes. It is especially pretty.
Big Sister Ying, what's with you today?
Why did you suddenly want to dress up?
I've been depressed for so many days.
I suddenly wanted to dress up today.
Big Sister Ying, did you know?
That you can gather up your strength like this,
I really am very happy.
Mo Chou.
I haven't heard you play music in a while.
Can you play a song for me today?

What are you doing?
What are you doing?
The Qin woman, Ying Ying, is a spy for the enemy country. She is to be imprisoned immediately!
What nonsense are you saying?
Mo Chou. My whole life
has been a joke.
But the fortunate thing is, I met you.
You must take care.
Big Sister!
Take her away!
You all-! You all-!
Big Sister!
Big Sister!
It's her?
Precisely. Today, Consort Ying secretly met with Zhang Yi and was discovered by my subordinates.
Where is she now?
I dared to imprison her already.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! Please save Big Sister Ying! She cannot possibly be the Qin spy!
Take a look for yourself!
The evidence is complete. How am I supposed to not believe it?
This...
But Your Majesty, ever since you caught her trying to escape back to Qin,
she has been downhearted. She definitely cannot do such a thing.
Besides, if Big Sister Ying really is the Qin spy,
then she would try to find a way to stay here!
Why would she risk her life to escape back to the State of Qin?
Your Majesty!
I want to go see her personally.
Big Sister Ying, the king has come!
Big Sister Ying.
I have been alone all my life, alive but without a soul.
Floating and wandering half my life before I met my lord.
Lived a simple contented life in this world, yet I sigh for us not being fated.
Only with my death can I thank my lord's grace.
Wait!
Wait!
Where are you taking her?
Move aside.
You got her killed.
It's because you've treated her like this that she wanted to die!
She wanted to die because she is the Qin spy!
Until now, you still think she's the Qin spy?
She's been with you for so many years!
Until she died,
you never gave her a bit of your heart.
Do you not believe that I'll have you imprisoned too?
Have you only done that a few times?
Staying by your side leads to nothing good, what should I fear?
You just wait. One day,
everyone by your side will leave you.

Big Sister?
Big Sister, what's wrong?
Big Sister!
Grand Adviser Shang's Manor
Lord Jing, please.
Lord Zhao, please.
This Ying Ying, usually looking so meek and without desires,
not wanting to compete for anything.
I never imagined that she'd be a Qin spy!
The State of Qin knew about all of our movements.
So that is where the secret lay.
I wanted to ask you two,
now the Inner Palace spy is gone,
but His Majesty still insists on killing Zhang Yi.
What should we do?
I think,
we shouldn't interfere in this matter.
His Majesty hates Zhang Yi to the bone.
Zhang Yi will not be able to leave this time.
Lord Zhao, you cannot say that.
The Qin Princess just died here.
If the Prime Minister of Qin dies by the King's hand,
then the King of Qin will surely be mad.
If new soldiers attack Chu, then...
Grand Adviser Shang, your words make sense.
Our Chu currently has internal and external problems.
We cannot take such an attack.
I understand.
But how can we persuade the King?
Let us use all our three names to forcefully express the pros and cons,
risk our lives to admonish it.
Perhaps the King will agree.
Will it work?
We can only try our best.
We are still two days from the execution date.
Whether or not the King's decision can be changed,
will depend on heaven's will.
Alright. For the State of Chu's kingdom,
I will take the gamble!
I never imagined it.
Zhang Yi and I have been enemies for life.
Now, I have to beg for mercy on his behalf.
Really so lamentable.
Forget it. The State of Chu's kingdom is more important.
I will follow what you two suggested then.
Good!
Come. Come. For our Chu's prosperity.
-Drink! -Drink!
You must do it cleanly. Nothing can go wrong.
-Yes. -Yes, we understand.
Go on.
Buy fish, buy fish!
Buy fish, buy fish! Fresh fish!
This...this...
What is this?
Who can read?
There's something written on it? What does it mean? Don't know.
Death rites, the death of Chu?
How come something like that was written on a stone?
A fisherman found it?
It's already spread throughout Yingdu. They all say that Zhang Yi cannot be killed.
This is clearly a Qin plot!
No, I must go see the King!
Qu Yuan!
There's no evidence that it's Qin's doing.
Moreover, you don't have a royal appointment right now. How can you ask for an audience?
Even if I have to break in, I must see the King!
You are devoted to the state, but the King exiled you out here.
Now, why bother with court matters?
I care about the government not only for His Majesty,
It is more so for the people of Chu!
The State of Chu cannot take any more mistakes!
Currently, it is the evil ministers who are in power in the government.
You cannot interfere just because you want to!
How many people can you beat alone?
The more that the evil ministers are in power,
the more I should step forward boldly.
Eliminating one evil minister can help gain
for one more hope for my Chu.
Even if I die,
I do not care.
Chu Palace
Your Majesty, a message hidden inside a fish's stomach is a very ominous sign.
Your Majesty, you must think again!
How strange!
I want to kill one Zhang Yi, but so many things happened.
I still don't believe it!
Your Majesty, when King Wu established the country, (T/N Spring/Autumn Period, 740 BCE)
the heavens also gave such a sign!
Now, if Your Majesty continues to be stubborn,
our Chu might suffer endless troubles.
Your Majesty, please think again!
Your Majesty, now the Qin spy in the palace is gone.
If we kill the Prime Minister of Qin too,
I'm afraid it might anger Qin.
And now, there is a jade stone making an epiphany. After giving it much thought,
I ask Your Majesty to spare Zhang Yi's life.
I beg Your Majesty to make a wise decision.
Your Majesty, Qu Yuan would like an audience.
What has he come for?
Qu Yuan now is just a Minister of the Three Great Families.
He has no right to ask about important court matters.
What has he come for?
Your Majesty, Qu Yuan wants to see you because he has something important to report.
Bring him in!
Adviser Qu, come in!
Your Majesty, you must not!
This inside-a-fish message is clearly Zhang Yi's trick, Your Majesty must not believe it!
Zhang Yi is in prison right now. How is he to play tricks?
Could there really be a ghost?
Zhang Yi is indeed in prison.
But lamentably, there are not just one or two people in my Chu who are helping him.
You-! What do you mean?
Your Majesty, I suspected long ago that Zhang Yi had ties with court officials!
Your Majesty, can you allow me to look at the jade stone?
Your Majesty, how is this an ancient object?
It's clearly freshly carved!
What? What did you say?
This is stone from Mount Jing. The blade marks also seem freshly carved.
If I didn't guess wrong, it shouldn't have been more than three days ago.
This is just your guess. Why should we believe you?
If you don't believe me, Your Majesty can ask someone to look for some Mount Jing stones.
I guarantee I can make one exactly like this one!
Make one? How?
You only need to boil this stone in water for three days straight
and you can already make a seemingly old item like this.
Your Majesty, this is a Qin trick.
Please order to kill Zhang Yi immediately!
Your Majesty, even if this jade stone is fake,
but now, Qin and Chu relations are at a crucial point.
Therefore, Your Majesty must not be rash.
Your Majesty, Zhang Yi has repeatedly employed evil tricks to push our country to its death.
If this person isn't killed, how are we to answer to the killed soldiers?
Qu Yuan, in the past, it was your father who failed in battling the Qin.
And now, it's your uncle who miserably got defeated by the Qin.
The State of Chu is like this partially because of your family.
Instead of locking yourself in your home to reflect, you came here to the court today talking nonsense and confusing His Majesty.
Now you claim that Zhang Yi must be killed!
Are you doing it for the state or for personal revenge?
-You-! - Jing Mo Ao!
High Minister Jing! Don't bully intolerably!
Your Majesty, Zhang Yi kept fooling us, misleading people.
This person must not be pardoned!
Enough.
I have my plans for this.

What do you intend to do with Zhang Yi?
I heard that recently,
that there actually was a message inside a fish.
It also says that Zhang Yi cannot be killed.
Queen Mother, I find it strange.
I fear that it was only fabricated by someone to save Zhang Yi.
Did you hear that from Qu Yuan?
I just knew.
You listened to Qu Yuan again.
But this matter is indeed odd.
Son, why haven't you thought it through?
Zhang Yi repeatedly tricked us.
Even killing him, it will be hard to ease my hatred.
Have you thought about the consequences?
Zhang Yi is Prime Minister of Qin.
If he dies in our Chu, it will only accelerate Qin's wish
to punish us.
Right now, Chu keeps losing to Qin in battles.
The State of Chu is no longer the state of the past.
Now you are enemies with the State of Qin.
You are handing them your kingdom!
Am I supposed to just swallow everything?
Yes.
Son.
You are King of Chu.
You must always look further in everything you do.
You must consider everything when making decisions.
I investigated clearly the matter about the message within a fish.
The ancient stone and writing were indeed real.
Your Majesty, that is impossible!
Qu Yuan, do you think I'm so easily tricked?
Your Majesty, this is a Qin trick!
How can you believe such trick?
We must not let Zhang Yi go!
Qu Yuan, you persistently insist on going against the will of the Heaven.
Are you going to put our Chu in a state of beyond redemption?
Jing Mo Ao!
Qu Yuan's heart towards Chu, everyone knows about it!
And that Zhang Yi repeatedly tricked my State of Chu.
Killing Zhang Yi is removing further troubles for us!
Whatever Qu Yuan's intentions are, Great Shaman of Chu knows it better.
I do not know it very well.
Alright!
The entire court agrees to set the tiger free.
Just wait for the tiger to charge back!
How ridiculous!
Qu Yuan, since you are so loyal, I will not pursue the matter.
Zhang Yi repeatedly offended my Chu.
I so wanted grind his bones to dust then scatter them!
But, since it is the heaven's will,
I will act according to the heavens.
Your Majesty!
But, he must still be punished.
Zhang Yi indeed is hateful, disgraceful, and despicable.
He is the world's enemy!
I want to teach him a lesson.
Let the world spit and curse him.
One hundred lashes of Jinchu Baton and then evict out of Chu. Court dismissed.
Prime Minister Zhang, don't blame me.
This was the King's order.
A mark must be left on your face.

♫ I go down the stream in quest of her; And lo! She is right in the midst of the water. ♫
Lord Yi really has outstanding wisdom and strategies.
In the whole Chu State right now, everyone wanted to personally kill you, but you were still able to retreat alive.
You are truly heaven-blessed.
What a pity for you though, I fear that the word 'criminal' on your forehead can never be wiped off anymore.
As long as I am able to return to Qin, these all really don't mean anything.
Does Lord Yi think that he can continue being a prime minister once he has returned to Qin?
Why not?
The King of Qin has been sick for a long time and is not healing.
The ascension of the new King will be soon. I heard that you and the two princes don't really have a good relationship.
Try to imagine it. After the ascension to the throne of either prince,
will you still be allowed to sit in this prime minister position?
Moreover, in Qin, the outstanding talent of Minister Fan is also known all throughout.
Lord Yi's coming to Chu this time as an emissary was actually a scheme of Minister Fan to use the hands of Chu to kill.
With such a trick, could a rare talent like Lord Yi not see through it?
Trying to drive a wedge between us.
Qu Yuan, you are still far from it.
Whether my words are true or not, I'm sure Lord Yi knows it clearly in your heart.
You were able to preserve your life here in Chu, but I fear that you won't be that lucky when you return to Qin.
This scheming of yours
is basically just to get me to desert Qin and not go against Chu.
You think that I don't know your motive?
Fraud strategies are Lord Yi's best skills.
I won't dare claim such credit from you.
Your secret dealings with the spy you placed in our Chu's palace
had caused the overturning of white to black, heaven to earth.
Could you really think that I won't ever learn of it?
And also, you really think that I don't really know who the Qin spy is?
A Qin woman disguising as a Qi woman.
Using that to hide her real identity from everyone, Lord Yi, you really have such good skills.
To tell you the truth, before you got imprisoned,
I sent someone to travel hurriedly to Qin.
To spread the words of how Lord Yi begged for his life throughout the whole of Xianyang City.
You...
Your Majesty.
The grand Qin endeavor hasn't been completed yet.
Your grand ambition hasn't been rewarded yet.
You cannot just abandon me like this and leave first.
I am
old now.
This day would have come eventually.
Do not be too saddened by it.
But Your Majesty,
who would govern the great Qin then?
These years,
Ji'er has been consumed with reading.
Only so that he may be of assistance to Your Majesty.
To complete the great cause of unifying the six nations.
I am Ji'er's mother, hence I shouldn't say this about him.
But that Ji'er humbled himself to seek the help of great men to learn to govern and strategize.
In everything he does,
he's indeed never disappointed your nurturing of him.
Come bring Ji'er to me.
As well as Dang'er and all the high ministers.
Bring them all here.
Yes.
You mustn't blame me, Sir.
I am only returning to you what you sowed.
Your return marks the return of a national traitor.
I regret to say our farewell today might be eternal.
Come.
Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan, you really believe you won?
You believe once you knock me over, Chu will be rid of all worries?
Let me tell you. No.
Never.
Qin has already been trained by me to be a roaring tiger.
Even if I become crazed or dead, your Chu will be destroyed all the same.
The one who shall unify the six nations and command the world will still be Qin nation.
In terms of poetry and talent, I am the lesser to you.
However, in terms of a divine luck, how can you even compare to me?
You continue to be loyal to Chu. Loyal to Chu.
But I ask you. Your poetry and character.
Your talent and vision. Did he truly ever admire them?
You always compare him to a beauty, a sage king in your poetry,
but has he...
Has he ever really appreciated it?
Ten years.
After ten years, a Qin nation absent of me, Zhang Yi, shall still be Qin nation.
But what about the Chu nation absent of you, Qu Yuan?
Will it still be Chu nation?
As long as at least one Chu citizen stands upon this land,
and as long as in his body the blood of Chu still flows,
then the soul of Chu shall not disappear.
Your dignified pride,
I shall never be able to catch up to.
This cup should not be a toast from you to me.
It should be from me to you.
Such content.
I do not know how what you and I have done and said today
will be judged by the people in a hundred years.
As though you truly care about what they would say?
You are truly deserving of the admiration by everyone.
While I am the coward matched by none.
Lord Qu's poetry and character will be a legend through the ages. But what about Zhang Yi?
Everyone deems me a homeless dog.
But who truly understands the world I hold in my heart?
