ADAPTED FROM TIANXIA GUIYUAN'S NOVEL HUANG QUAN
EPISODE 47
Your Highness.
Wake up, Your Highness.
What time is it?
Any news
from Inspector Feng?
Your Highness.
Do you feel sick?
You have a fever.
Don't panic. I'm fine.
It's probably because I'm tired from reading medical books all night.
Your Highness.
I'll take you out.
I'll get all the doctors
-in Minzhou Office. -There's no need.
I'm just hungry.
I'll be fine after eating.
Come on.
I'm fine.
Your Highness.
How about I rush back to the capital
and ask His Majesty to send an imperial doctor?
Father is old.
We shouldn't bother him with these minor things.
But don't forget
the Shuangsheng Spell, Your Highness.
I'm reading medical books now.
We will find a cure.
All right.
Why are you panicking?
No, Your Highness.
Your Highness, you can't eat this.
What's the matter?
Speak. What did you do?
Please don't be mad, Your Highness.
I was ordered to give the bowl used by epidemic patients
to Your Highness.
What are you trying to do?
That's why His Highness is not feeling well.
It must be because you passed the epidemic on to him.
-I'll kill you! -Wait.
He doesn't really know me.
He must have been instigated by someone.
Don't give him a hard time.
Just interrogate him.
Let's go!
Thank you, Your Highness.
I'm fine.
Your Highness, Inspector Feng is outside with a doctor.
-Let them in and check on His Highness. -Chunyu Meng.
Don't let anyone know I'm sick.
Only allow the doctor to come in.
Don't let Feng Zhiwei in.
-But... -Anyone who disobeys will be executed.
Yes, Your Highness.
CHANG RESIDENCE
Please wait here, Inspector.
Chunyu Meng.
-How is it? -Inspector.
His Highness ordered that only the doctor may enter.
Are you hiding something from me?
Inspector.
His Highness forbids you...
His Highness forbids anyone to go in aside from the doctor.
Is His Highness sick?
-Say something. -No.
His Highness is not sick. You just can't go in.
As the Royal Inspector of Minhai, I order you to step aside.
I must go in tonight.
Inspector.
His Highness said that if I let you in, he'll kill me.
Move!
-Don't give me a hard time. -Move!
Zhiwei.
Maybe Prince of Chu is not sick.
Maybe he's just worried you'd get sick if you go in.
-Then no one can handle matters here. -Hua Qiong, you don't know him.
Ning Yi is very stubborn.
No matter what happens, he will never tell me.
He keeps it all to himself.
Zhiwei.
What if I go in and relay a message for you?
Don't worry.
I'll ask the doctor to examine Prince of Chu thoroughly.
We'll know if he's sick.
Thank you, Hua Qiong.
Please stand.
Can you allow me to go inside with the doctor?
He is a doctor from Minhai.
If His Highness can't understand his accent,
I can be his interpreter.
How about it?
Please go in.
According to that servant, Chang Sen ordered him to do it.
It seems Chang Zhongxin is getting impatient.
We...
Your Highness, Inspector Feng sent Hua Qiong to come inside with the doctor.
Ning Cheng.
Your Highness.
Get some ice.
I don't want...
I don't want Hua Qiong to know that I have a fever.
Your Highness.
You can't disregard your health
just so that the little raccoon won't worry.
Go get them.
Hurry.
-We pay respect to Prince of Chu. -We pay respect to Prince of Chu.
Drop the formalities.
Chunyu Meng, bring the doctor to check on the patients.
-Yes. -Your Highness, please wait.
Inspector Feng emphasized that your health is priority.
I hope Your Highness allows the doctor to check on you.
Tell Inspector Feng I'm fine.
Determining the cause of the epidemic is top priority.
-Please go. -Your Highness.
You're very sympathetic.
You should be able to understand how worried Inspector Feng is
that she can't see how you're doing.
Your Highness, to make her feel at ease, please allow the doctor to check on you.
All right.
How is it?
I don't have a fever, right?
I'm fine, right?
Your Highness.
You don't have a fever indeed.
-However-- -All right.
Go and check on the patients.
I have official business on hand.
Please relay this to Inspector Feng.
This way, please.
Please.
CHENGMING PALACE
Zhao Yuan.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Get more light.
Why does it seem so dark?
I can't see clearly.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Is it better now?
I still can't see clearly.
Your Majesty, you're exhausted.
You should rest.
Do you want me to get the imperial doctor?
There's no need.
Maybe it's Ning Yi.
Your Majesty.
With 3,000 Changying Guards
and the smart Feng Zhiwei by his side,
Prince of Chu will be safe.
I'll bring you any reports
from Minhai immediately.
Maybe I'm thinking too much.
Your Highness.
The doctor has checked all the patients.
The diagnosis
is a unique infectious disease found in the most remote area in Minhai, Xiayang.
But the doctor said that he should be able to cure it.
Please don't worry.
Then please prepare the prescription and send the medication here.
I'll try, Your Highness.
-All right. -Chunyu Meng.
Get a teapot used by the patients for the doctor to take with him.
Yes, sir.
Lady, please give this to Inspector Feng.
Tell her
that I'm fine.
Your Highness.
For the sake of your family and loved ones outside,
please take care of yourself.
Thank you.
Your Highness.
They can't tell, right?
How fortunate that Prince of Chu is fine.
Doctor, please prepare the prescription as soon as possible
so we can cure the patients in Chang Residence
and Prince of Chu can leave that dangerous place.
Yes, I'll do that immediately.
Inspector.
This is the doctor's first time treating this illness.
If we're not certain,
we can't use the medication on the patients.
I think we should test the medication on some animals to be sure.
Please handle that, then.
All right. I'll go right away.
By the way, there's another thing
that would require you to use your status as head of the Yan family.
Please tell me.
Think of a way to let Zhou Xizhong see Chang Zhongxin's disloyalty.
I understand.
Zhiwei.
To find out what Chang Zhongxin is doing,
Zhou Xizhong is the key.
In business matters,
we can say you and I share the same mind, right?
In ancient times, there was an official who loved playing Go.
But he was bad at it,
so no one wanted to play with him.
One day, he wanted to play
and asked a prisoner on death row to play with him.
He said, "If I win today, you can live."
The prisoner was so happy.
"Isn't it easy to lose?"
Toward the latter part of the game, the prisoner kneeled and said,
"I'd rather die."
Zhiwei.
If you have time,
you must practice your Go skills.
He's still teasing me.
He's really fine.
PRINCE OF CHU, NING YI
Hua Qiong, is anything troubling you?
It's not me.
It's Prince of Chu. He's...
He's a bit strange.
Prince of Chu has always been concerned with his image.
This wouldn't have happened, unless...
Unless he wants you to believe that he's fine.
I don't have a fever, right?
I'm fine, right?
Lady, please give this to Inspector Feng.
So he used ice to lower his temperature and fooled the doctor.
I must go and see for myself.
Zhiwei.
If you go right now, you would waste his efforts.
You should think of a way
to get him to take care of himself and not give up.
Your Highness.
According to your wishes,
I'll try to convince Zhou Xizhong and let him understand that Minhai's hope
is definitely not Chang Zhongxin, but Prince of Chu, Ning Yi.
So, don't let me be someone who's not trustworthy.
Even if you can't leave Chang Residence,
you have to pay attention to official matters in Minhai.
Plan carefully and execute it well.
I hope I can get letters from you daily.
Your Highness.
I checked the medical books
and made this medication to alleviate the fever.
Drink it while it's hot.
You only think about that little raccoon.
You're wrong about her.
She asked me to find a piece of wood
to make a hair ornament for her myself.
This little raccoon.
I want to find a nice piece of wood
and hit her on the head with it.
She's not concerned about you at all.
You're wrong about her.
In this letter she gave me,
she has hinted with her words
that she already knows I'm sick.
That's why she's telling me
that there's someone waiting for me
and that I shouldn't die so easily.
It's really beautiful.
If you let it go,
how are you going to keep warm tonight?
You're here, aren't you?
In that case,
I should really find a nice piece of wood.
Your Highness.
Use this to make the hair ornament.
You've been with me for many years.
You're good.
Using a piece of wood this tough
to make a hair ornament
would take me six or eight months.
Your Highness.
Take your time.
It's not urgent anyway.
All right.
I'll use six or eight months
to make this hair ornament and live until then.
You will live to 100.
If you want anything,
I will think of a way to get it for you.
Ning Cheng.
Do something for me.
Find Chang Yuan's descendants
with Chunyu Meng.
Think of a way to get the subinfeudation token in their hands.
And tell them that Chang Zhongxin
is using my sickness as an opportunity to delay the distribution.
Let them have this subinfeudation token I'm giving them on behalf of His Majesty
so that they can claim land on their own.
This trick of dividing them is really good.
I may be sick, but my brain's still working.
I'll do that right away.
Young Master, you want to eliminate the pirates.
That really benefits the people of Minhai.
It's just that...
Minister Zhou, don't you believe that I can do it?
It's not that.
I'm just worried.
Based on the reports I received,
the epidemic in Chang Residence
is the same as the one in Xiayang.
So I suspect
that the pirates are behind this.
And Xiayang is a place you must pass to eliminate the pirates.
That's why I'm worried that if you act now,
-you might fall into a trap. -You teach your men well.
You're updated with the latest news.
But I believe
that if I ignore Minhai's matters
just because of this epidemic,
isn't that what the unscrupulous people want?
Backing out and being weak are not something I'd do.
I shall protect Minhai at all cost.
Since you've already made up your mind,
I'll make preparations for the food and other supplies right away,
so that you'll have the best
in order to resist powerful forces.
Please don't think too highly of those powerful forces.
In Minhai, the Chang family
is the true powerful force.
Now do you believe me?
It's very clear that Chang Zhongxin doesn't want what's best for Minhai.
You're an official in charge of the people of Minhai.
I was born and raised here.
The Yan family has held positions for generations in Minhai.
If we can't protect our home,
how can we answer to the people of Minhai?
Come, let me feed you some water contaminated with the epidemic.
You're saving lives.
-You'll reincarnate as a good person. -I wonder if this would work.
-Here. -Here.
Yes.
Drink some.
Here.
-Drink more. -Come on, be good.
Here.
Feng Zhiwei.
Feng Zhiwei, are you crazy? That's contaminated water.
-You'll die. -Please check on me periodically.
Let me test if the medication works.
I'm worried that Prince of Chu can't wait long.
Feng Zhiwei.
Is he the only one you think of?
What about us? What about me?
If you get sick,
-what will I do? -Prince Helian.
Please forgive my small heart. It can only contain one person.
He's suffering right now. I can't be concerned about anything else.
But you didn't need to endanger yourself.
There are other ways.
-Why do you need to get sick? -Because I want to be in this with him.
Because I want to understand how he is feeling right now.
If Ning Yi dies, I won't live either.
-Hurry. -All right.
Congratulations, Inspector Feng.
The medication worked.
Really?
Let's go to Chang Residence.
Hurry.
Zhiwei.
I shouldn't have gotten mad at you before.
I came today to tell you one thing.
You like someone, and I like someone.
We submit to the will of the heavens.
But I hope one day,
you can let go of this obsession.
Me too.
Let me do it.
Is it bitter?
Ning Yi.
You scared me.
How do you feel? Do you feel better?
Back off a little.
I have something to tell you.
Feng Zhiwei.
You and I
have known each other for a while.
When you met me...
When you met me,
I had been trying to clear Ning Qiao's name,
clear my mother's name,
and cut off the Chang family's power in Minhai.
But this time,
I contracted the epidemic.
While I was on the brink of death,
I realized...
What?
It seems you've really recovered.
I knew
there was no one more perverse than you in this world.
I finally realized that
I like you.
While I was on the brink of death,
I realized.
I like you.
But I'm afraid that if I say it out loud...
-Me-- -Your Highness.
Minister Zhou Xizhong has important matters.
Me too.
Go.
Is Chang Zhongxin making any moves?
Your Highness.
Chang Zhongxin stole food and supplies, then revolted.
What?
FENGYUN PALACE
Your Majesty ordered me to find Chang Yuan's allies in the army.
I have found all of them.
Please tell me what to do with them.
Lock them up first.
Investigate them one by one.
If they've already committed crimes for the Chang family,
punish them according to the law.
Execute them, if necessary. Forget leniency.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Go and make preparations.
After cleaning up the army,
I should clean up the Royal Court.
Chang Yuan committed grave crimes.
He has many followers.
We should punish them all.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
You should know why I asked you to come here.
There's a war in Minhai.
Prince of Chu brought the army to counter the insurgency.
The Chang family is being eliminated.
You're one of their allies.
What should I do with you?
Do you want me to execute you too?
I have committed grave crimes.
But I did my best
in the Ministry of Justice.
Chang Yuan used the former Crown Prince's name
to force and bribe me many times.
I couldn't refuse them.
But I just feigned courtesy with them.
-I was never their accomplice. -I think you're feigning courtesy
with me today.
Whether or not you're their accomplice,
Tiansheng's law
does not allow any corruption.
You think you can fool me.
I can see right through you.
Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly.
Though I was controlled by Chang Yuan and was not righteous,
I've already regretted my actions.
I don't dare defend myself further,
but I beg Your Majesty to spare my life.
I'm willing to risk my life for you with no regrets.
I asked you to come here
for you to defend yourself because I could see
how hard you were working to get out
of the Chang family's control.
But with what you've done,
do you think you can still work in the Ministry of Justice?
I'll demote you to the position of a warden,
so that you can guard the dark prison daily
and reflect on yourself properly.
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty's mercy is Tiansheng's blessing.
Do you think I want to let these rebels and traitors go?
Back then, there were many officials
who were circling around Chang Yuan and me.
I was merciful to Peng Pei today
to let them see
my benevolence.
So that they'll have a chance to make up for their crimes.
So that they'll understand...
my good intentions.
Your Majesty is brilliant.
Let me see this knife.
Ziyan, you scared me.
You scared me.
What are you doing?
Are you so used
to checking your husband's items?
These are not mine.
They're someone else's.
Should you be doing this?
-Is it my fault? -Then whose fault is it?
If you weren't doing scary things
for Prince of Chu after he left the capital...
Whose bag is this?
Dahua.
Ask if you need to.
Don't ask if you don't need to.
If you ask and find out, you'll be more scared.
So don't ask.
Fine.
Dahua.
Don't talk to me.
She shouldn't touch other people's...
FIFTEENTH GENERATION NINTH ROYAL SON ZHANGSUN HAO
Sir.
My dear.
Look how much you've suffered.
What should I do?
You're so fortunate.
You have such a beautiful wife.
My husband.
Come quickly.
Thank the official.
-Thank you, sir. -All right.
Do your thing.
Thank you, sir.
Who are you?
I'm here to get you out.
Wait.
Sir.
Come here.
Come.
Come here.
What's up with that one?
Him?
They've decided to execute him.
But he has a wife and no sons.
Dali Temple allowed his wife to stay in the prison.
Stay in the prison?
Starting today, his wife can spend her nights here.
After his wife conceives, he can then be executed,
so that his family line can continue.
What? Dali Temple is so kind.
But his wife is really...
What a shame.
It's really such a shame.
Minister Xu.
This was given to me by Ning Sheng.
He said it was a rare treasure from Minhai.
Now the Chang family no longer has influence.
I've already submitted everything necessary
to the National Treasury.
But my wife wanted to keep this for our funeral expenses.
I found out about it,
so I'm here to give it to you.
My funeral fund is in your hands.
This is your funeral fund.
You should keep it yourself.
The good times
won't always be here.
Let me tell you.
With the Chang family gone,
I'm like a lost dog.
Everyone's laughing at me.
You and I passed the civil exam
and became officials in the same year.
And we served the same master once.
You're the only person
I can trust.
I just want to find a way to survive.
I can't accept this.
And I shouldn't.
I'm not who I was before.
Since I sided with Prince of Chu, I've changed.
I won't be involved in these things anymore.
I also want to change.
Is there any way for me?
Regardless of how big your crime is against Prince of Chu,
if you change for the better,
there will surely be a way.
CHANG RESIDENCE
After you leave,
I'll ask Huaishi to assist Zhou Xizhong in Minhai Office.
I'll go with Nanyi and the others to Jiyang Office
to help you protect them.
You must be careful in bringing the army to Xiayang
to eliminate Chang Zhongxin.
Don't forget. You just recovered from a grave illness.
Don't expose yourself to danger anymore.
Is it bad to be in danger?
You'll come to save me anyway.
-I can see you again then. -Ning Yi.
Can't you say anything nice?
All right.
I'll keep my life
because I have to get married and have kids in the future.
After I capture Chang Zhongxin and settle Minhai,
I'll bring you back to the capital to see Father.
So we can get married.
All right?
Can you promise me?
Yes, I promise.
I promise.
