Episode 53
I hear the good lady calling me, I shall drive my carriage along with her. - Xiang Fu Ren (Lady of the Xiang), Nine Songs by Qu Yuan
Jie Jie, there's a few Yue guards coming toward us.
The war just ended. They are naturally more vigilant.
Then, did you figure out something?
For now, we just have to take one step at a time.
I didn't imagine how vicious Jing Po was.
Fooling everyone.
King of Chu pardoned me, but I didn't imagine how complicated things would get.
I still want to thank you for all you did on my behalf before the King of Chu back then.
But getting back to the topic on hand, you're the King of Yue's only blood offspring.
Why have you fallen to this now?
Don't you think this place is actually most suitable for me?
Instead of fighting over the throne with my aunt out there.
I don't want to see more loyal subjects and men lose their innocent lives.
You think it's so quiet in here, do you?
You don't see anything anymore, is that right?
Let me tell you. You are wrong.
Do you know that thousands of citizens out there
are getting deluded by your aunt
and handing their lives away for nothing over at the borders?
Let me tell you, once Chu nation attacks Yue,
your last home front will be precarious too.
You think being in here means nothing will happen outside?
But this isn't all to be blamed on my aunt.
Chu nation is pressing Yue and Qin is also pressing Yue.
It's already precarious for Yue.
So many things, I can only bury in my heart.
What do you mean?
Actually that old battle between Chu and Yue can't all be blamed on Chu.
It was Zhang Yi who wrote to my royal father, and my royal father trusted him.
Which led him to dispatch the army to attack Chu.
For that fiasco.
What did you say?
When my royal father passed away, I saw their letters.
Then why didn't you tell your aunt?
How do I tell her?
Do you mean I should go and tell her our wars were all instigated by others?
To tell her that our revenge is a joke?
No. I can't tell her.
Now Qin is scheming the same as it did before.
Do you want to see Yue nation fall into Zhang Yi's net again?
Princess, are we truly to kill off Chu's envoy?
That's not our fault. He brought himself here.
Are we supposed to escort him back?
It's true. Chu has offended our borders.
If we don't kill the Chu envoy, our grudge can't be dissipated.
But if Chu sends an army, then what do we do . . .
What are you scared of?
If they want to battle, we'll battle to the end.
To die on the battlefield is giving our utmost loyalty to the late king.
Enough. I will have this Chu envoy killed for sure.
No one is to dissuade me.
In three days, in this place,
I will use Qu Yuan's blood to pay my respect to my seniors.
Princess, we discovered two wenches in our fortress with suspicious behavior.
They were speaking mysteriously so we captured them, awaiting your assignment.
When did we start reporting such trivial matters too?
Just kill them off.
But they were saying some strange things and that if we don't bring them to see the Princess,
then a huge calamity will befall on Yue land.
Who are they to curse our Yue nation so?
They want to die? Bring those two here.
Let me see what skills they have.
Yes, ma'am.
I ("Mo Chou") greet the Princess.
Mo Chou? Where are you from?
Where I am from and who I am are not important.
The reason I am here today is to tell Your Highness the Princess a very important matter.
Speak.
Within a few days, Yue will suffer a great earthquake.
When that time comes, mountains and water features will collapse and people and beasts will perish.
You mean there's an earthquake happening at Yue land soon? That's impossible.
Why is it impossible?
The land of Yue has been peaceful since the beginning.
We've never had any earthquakes.
Just because it didn't happen before, it doesn't mean it won't happen in the future.
Princess, how can you vouch for tomorrow's happening?
In the "Three Hundred Poems", the big earthquake during the time of King You (T/N Last king of Western Zhou, 780 BCE, capital moved due to rivers drying up and devastation)
how many people died? Do you all not know?
True.
Unless Princess desires to see that it happens again
before you believe it.
On what account should I believe you?
I dare to ask Princess. In the land of Yue, have all the animals been fleeing out of their nests and caves recently
escaping everywhere?
It's true. It's really true.
Let me ask Princess again. Have all the birds of the air
been crying out despite day or night? (T/N most birds are diurnal, sleep at night)
It's true. The birds are crying out, keeping people awake at night with anxiety.
Then that's it.
Another thing, I can only tell the Princess.
How do you know?
I cannot disclose the secret.
Princess. Why don't we ask this Wise Lady
how we can resolve the calamity.
So tell me, what are we to do now?
I don't know the exact time of the earthquake. I can only calculate an estimated time.
So in this time being,
I ask that the Princess tell all the people not to sleep.
They cannot stay at home no matter what.
Everyone needs to gather in an open space.
That's the only way to minimize loss at best.
Miss, since you can calculate that an earthquake will happen,
do you have a way to prevent the earthquake from happening?
I fear that's too difficult.
Can we enshrine the gods ? (T/N act as priestess and intercede)
From what I see, the earthquake cannot be prevented.
Even if you enshrine the gods, you can only lessen the sufferings upon the people.
Then you set up the altar at once.
Yes.
Is there another thing?
Princess, if what I say is proven,
and I assist you in rescuing your people,
could the Princess promise me something?
Indeed you come with a condition. Speak.
To you, it's something easy.
But after the enshrinement, it won't be too late to discuss it.
Fine.
Let's go.
Jie Jie, what all did you say to her?
Let's talk about it after we are out.
Thank you, Brother Qu, for rescuing me in Chu.
Now you are in this predicament but I am incompetent to assist you.
If there's another life, I will surely repay my debt then.
Life and death are up to Heaven,
to be able to spend prison time in your company
to exchange words and poetry,
isn't it another excellent way of living?
Eat now.
Where's the wine?
No more wine. Something big's happening.
What big happening?
Two mysterious shamans came.
Saying we'll have an earthquake here soon.
Qu Yuan, don't you people love shamans in Chu?
Tell me, are shamans really that mighty?
I think it's all foolish tricks!
Is this how we are supposed to carry out the ritual?
Yes, it really works.
These two better not fool me.
Sister, what are we dancing right now?
It is a ritual dance.
Sister, ritual dance? Isn't this just the dance we did at the circus?
Don't say nonsense. Just follow my lead and it'll be all right. Hurry!
What are they whispering about?
They're probably reciting the spells.
Sister, what did you say to the Princess just now?
After you spoke with her, her entire (facial) expression changed.
I told her that she probably haven't had her period (menses) in a while.
From what I'm guessing, it has probably been three months since the last time.
How do you know?
Just look at her. Her skin color isn't great and horrible temper.
I'm sure it's because her period hasn't been coming that caused it.
What are they saying?
Sister, about the earthquake.. how accurate is that?
Honestly, it was just a feeling.
Don't scare me like that!
You just escaped death in Chu,
why are you here risking your life again?
Don't think too much about it. At this point in time,
we will just have to react as it happens.
What?
Keep dancing! Quickly!
Princess, you've already thought about things for half a day, what are you planning on doing?
I don't understand any of it.
Yue rarely ever has outsiders that visit,
but some unknown shaman shows up
and everything she says is extremely accurate, making it impossible for me to not believe it.
They probably just coincidentally guessed correctly. If they really are just making everything up
and playing with us, then they've really fooled us.
Let's just trust them for a couple days. It won't hurt to trust them once.
I want you to post a notice right now, telling everyone
not to be inside houses for three days. They must be in open space. No exceptions.
But what if these two shamans are lying to us? Then what should we do?
Just lock them all up so that not even a moth can come out!
Yes.
Come on.
That's good.
Prince Zi Lan, what is it that you want to do?
I prepared a surprise for you! Just follow me.
What kind of surprise is it? Must I be blindfolded?
Come on, just hurry up! Everyone is waiting for you!
Don't rush, don't rush!
-Prince, what is this place? -Careful, steps.
I can't play with you.
We're almost there, almost there!
What smell is it? It smells very nice.
Of course they smell nice! They also look and feel nice!
Come on, come! Almost there.
Come. We've arrived.
Prince Zi Lan.. you... what are you doing?
What's wrong? You don't like them?
Look over here! There's more here too.
These are all the beautiful women that I personally picked!
You can choose whoever you like. You can choose anyone from the Huaying palace!
Of course, that doesn't include my Royal Mother.
Prince Zi Lan, what kind of person do you take me as?
Seems like you aren't satisfied with any of the women here.
That's too bad. I'll just have to find better ones for you.
-You! -Don't be impatient! I'll go look for some more.
Lan'Er.
Royal Mother.
Greetings to Your Highness.
What is all this?
Royal Mother, Brother Zhuang Qiao doesn't appreciate my kindness.
I went through so much trouble trying to find beautiful women for him,
yet he doesn't even like any one of them!
Is that right?
I still have some matters to attend to, please excuse me.
Why are you in a rush?
If General doesn't mind,
how about a meal in the Huaying Palace?
For a long time now,
I have always wanted to thank General properly for taking care of Lan'Er.

General, this soup was made from the best quality carp.
It contains many expensive herbs.
General, drink it.
Thank..Thank you, Your Highness.
General's body is so strong and healthy,
your injuries must be almost healed right?
Thank you, Your Highness, for asking, I am doing well.
General, if you cannot be on battlefield,
all your strength will have no place to exercised.
Drink up the soup and let it sooth your fury.
See! My Royal Mother treats you so well.
I am wondering, have you married yet?
I am only a scoundrel, what women would ever like me?
General, you shouldn't say something like that.
You have extraordinary skills,
I'm sure many women would come knocking at your door.
Royal Mother, you don't even know!
He doesn't like ladylike women.
His favorite type are the ones with many styles!
Prince Zi Lan, don't randomly say things!
I didn't say that.
What do you mean? When you were in Qi,
I saw that you had feelings for the female owner of that inn.
Not only that, but you keep thinking about her!
The inn owner?
Royal Mother, that owner lady is wild.
The way I see it, he's already fallen too deep.
Too bad... she was an assassin.
Prince Zi Lan, I...
It was in order to save a life!
Fine, let's say it was to save a life.
Royal Mother, I'm full. I'm going outside to play.
Go ahead.
I didn't think General was such a romantic person.
Your Highness, you... don't listen to what Prince Zi Lan was saying.
I, Zhuang Qiao, still haven't met the woman of my heart yet.
Really?
General really hasn't met her yet,
or you've met her
but just pretending to not know about it.
♫ The Lady of the Xiang descended on the northern bank ♫
♫ Turning on me her eyes that are dark with longing. ♫
I, Zhuang Qiao, still haven't met the woman of my heart yet.

♫ Wonderful times are hard to come by ♫
♫ I'll just leisurely and relaxingly linger and wander for the mean time! ♫
There's no earthquake.
When is it coming?
We're just waiting for what?
- Maybe we should go ask when. - How long have we been waiting from day to night?
That's what I'm saying.
Jie Jie.
Princess, what do you mean by this?
You are guests from afar.
Should there be a mishap, it's not good for anyone.
Princess, you don't trust me?
I don't trust anyone.
We've already passed the first night.
I know that.
I hope what you said will never happen.
Naturally I hope so too.
Then you don't fear death?
I fear. But I know I don't die easily.
This is such a torture. Let's just go home.
Princess, the rumors are rampant
that Your Highness was bewitched by the shaman. I think it's odd too.
I think she's playing us.
It's the second day. Still no movement at all.
You better not be playing me.
Princess, if you really can't trust me, you can tell them to go home.
I reckon I will trust you once more.
Jie Jie.
Nothing. Third day already.
Seriously.
You two. You said earthquake. It's the third day already.
Where's the earthquake?
Yeah?
Let's go. Witch talk.
Let's go.
Seriously.
Misses, this way.
It's the third day already. What more have you to say?
Princess, it's not bad to be more prudent.
With death knocking you, are still full of nonsense?
It's true. You're a witch.
Witch.
Hey! How are you paying a kindness with grudge?
We came to help you out of good will. Earthquakes are up to Heaven.
Who can calculate it precisely?
Qing'er. - You're got nothing to say now, right?
You two played me.
You ought to be killed.
What more do you have to say?
Princess, my Jie Jie is very mighty.
If you kill us, you'll be punished by Heaven.
No one ever dared to speak to me like this.
What are you waiting for?
Lightning.
Princess. - Don't run. Stay in open space.
Stay in open space.
What's happening?
Earthquake. Earthquake indeed.
She was right.
Brother Qu, careful.
I'm fine. Fine.
Everyone, don't go running.
Don't panic.
Don't run.

Princess.
How's the damage outside?
It's very dangerous but fortunately, when the earthquake happened,
the people were outside so only a few were injured with no deaths.
What about Wu Ming and Envoy Qu?
They are fine.
Then what about the two misses?
They are outside tending to the injured.
Hurts.
Careful. You suffered a dislocated elbow.
You need around a hundred days before you're fully recovered.
Remember not to move around during these days.
Miss, we all wronged you. It was all thanks to you this time.
I'm just glad everyone's fine.
Stay still. Don't move.
Jie Jie.
Qing'er. We need a lot of clubmoss,
amaranth and lopseed. We need to go and gather a lot tomorrow.
Alright. I got it.
I wronged you.
Princess. Mo Chou has completed her mission now.
I hope Princess can, in front of all the people,
make good the promise you gave me that day.
Speak. What is your request?
I wish you to release Qu Yuan and Wu Ming.
Who are you exactly?
A Chu person.
So you and Qu Yuan are together.
How dare you!
Guards! Capture these two Chus.
Kill them to avenge our national grudge.
Are you all rebelling?
Princess. Will you really kill Miss Mo Chou?
But she is our savior.
Spare her. She is our savior.
You all forgot? The grudge of the late king?
We didn't forget the grudge.
But we don't want war ever again.
Princess. Just agree to Miss Mo Chou. Please, Princess.
Please agree.
Spare them.
Royal Aunt.
Will you really leave?
These years have made me fatigued.
Now I just want to indulge in nature.
I leave Yue nation in your hands.
You ought to shoulder your responsibility and allow your aunt to rest assured.
Be assured, Royal Aunt.
Let's go.
I never imagined, in her bones, Princess Wu Xin wasn't harboring power.
But she truly loves Yue sincerely.
Just that her love handicapped her
so she couldn't see the reality clearly.
This is all thanks to you and Miss Mo Chou
for saving our Yue from crisis.
Brother Wu Ming, your political road ahead is still very long.
Have you thought of it?
Yue nation is dilapidated, waiting for restoration.
I just want to govern Yue well.
To allow our people to live lives in peace.
Don't worry. I will keep our promise.
In this lifetime, I will not seek Chu as an enemy.
Alright then. It's time I take my leave too.
May we meet again.
Didn't you say you would go wander around the world? Why led you to come to Yue nation?
You truly do not know why?
Some people like to pretend they don't know.
But how did you know about earthquake?
Clouds fanning out while birds and beasts flee.
What else would it be if it wasn't an earthquake?
Since you are so versed in astronomy and geography, why don't you join me in assisting His Majesty?
The current state of Chu hasn't been the same as the old Chu for a long time now.
Now, everyone Chu person needs to lend a hand.
Chu nation, Chu nation. You only have Chu nation on your mind.
Do you mean I should return to the palace to be Great Shaman all for the sake of Chu nation only?
I . . .
Did you forget that my father suffered his unjust death in the Chu prison?
My younger brother died on the battlefield for Chu.
And me? I nearly died in the cold palace of Chu as well.
Are you blaming me?
It's true. If it hadn't been for me,
you wouldn't have come to the palace and you would've been spared all these things.
We don't need to bring up the past again.
Besides, what use is there for me to return to Chu?
Seeing each other but unable to near each other.
Missing each other but unable to be together.
Your Majesty, report from the front line.
Yue's troubles have calmed.
The remnants at Yue have already commanded withdrawal of troops.
Great. Vice Chancellor Qu has not disappointed me indeed.
I have another matter to report.
Go ahead.
I hear the one who accompanied Vice Chancellor Qu to pacify the troubles at Yue was a woman.
It's said this person can predict calamities,
with the ability to communicate with the gods and a phoenix flew over her when she appeared.
She was like a fairy.
There could be such a fairy on earth?
You mean Vice Chancellor Qu was assisted by a fairy?
Then it's indeed a fortune for our Chu.
Your Majesty, this woman wasn't someone else.
It's none other than...
...Mo Chou.
- What? - What!
- Mo Chou? - Mo Chou?
That Mo Chou?
She clearly died. How is she alive now?
Unless she resurrected?
Resurrected? What divine matter is this?
I've never encountered this in my life before.
The daughter of the Great Shaman is indeed different.
What you're saying is really true?
That's too strange.
Unless there's more to it?
This is spread wide in Yue already.
Mo Chou used divine power to fight off calamity
and rescued countless lives before the mountains collapsed.
The local citizens all fell to their knees to renown her a fairy. (T/N or "heavenly maiden")
It's completely true.
It's really Mo Chou?
Mo Chou didn't die.
But that Mo Chou really died in the palace.
But now she appears along with Vice Chancellor Qu in Yue?
Unless Vice Chancellor Qu rescued that Mo Chou?
Jing Mo Ao! Vice Chancellor Qu was with me at the time. (T/N "High Minister")
All the way to and from Hangu Pass. How could he have rescued Mo Chou?
But this . . .
If this rumor is true, then that woman must possess witchery.
Your Majesty, witchcraft has brought disaster to nation and people since the beginning.
We must not allow that woman to endanger Chu.
I plead Your Majesty to give the command to kill off Mo Chou.
Your Majesty, we can't kill Mo Chou.
She's the heiress of the Great Shaman and inherited her talent.
Jing Mo Ao , a phoenix is a spiritual bird.
An auspicious item.
Mo Chou can summon a spiritual bird.
How could she be evil?
Maybe if she returns, she can use her divine powers to assist our Chu nation.
Your Majesty, Mo Chou has the blood of the Great Shaman.
And she's assisted our army to pacify trouble.
I plead with Your Majesty to salute Mo Chou as our Great Shaman,
to vouchsafe our Chu nation's everlasting glory.
Pleading Your Majesty to salute Mo Chou as Great Shaman.
[ Lotus Flower Palace ]
You mean Mo Chou didn't die?
Not only did she not die, I hear she's divine now.
She commands birds and beasts in the land of Yue now.
Such a big calamity and everyone is fine.
I think that Mo Chou is big trouble.
- She's that mighty? - For sure.
Your Highness, the entire city of Yingdu is talking about it.
If she's really going to become the Great Shaman and the King of Chu would be in her control,
then Chu nation will become even more powerful.
I don't care how much is true and how much is false.
That Mo Chou, we can't keep her.
Back then, the entire family of Mo Chou's was ordered to be murdered by King Wei. (T/N King Huai's father)
Her mother died in the hands of a royal too. (T/N Zhao He is also a royal relative)
Then, does that Mo Chou
really feel satisfied to work as Great Shaman in Chu,
and safeguard the land for her enemy?
I shall have to contest her then.
Mo Chou? Resurrected?
And helped me pacify the troubles of Yue?
I am delighted.
But should I have her take on this position of Great Shaman of Chu?
Your Majesty. If Miss Mo Chou becomes the Great Shaman,
she couldn't be a consort then.
Then what about the Great Shaman then? She got married and had children too.
Did you forget, Your Majesty? Since the death of the Great Shaman,
the late King has ordered that from then on, shamans couldn't be married.
They are to devote their lives to enshrine the spirits.
It's been over a decade since that royal command was cast.
However, a royal command is up to the King.
Mu Yi.
Greetings to the Queen Dowager.
Royal Mother.
How dare you.
You don't do your job to advise the King.
You even try to pull him astray?
I don't dare. Please dissipate your anger, Queen Dowager!
You don't dare?
Then you mean, I am old?
I've confused now? I heard wrong?
Royal Mother, Mu Yi didn't mean that.
Moreover, how can a female shaman do much in the matters of the world?
Son, don't think I don't know what you're thinking.
You just want to make that Mo Chou your wife.
