[The Flame's Daughter]
[Episode 34]
Do you still remember the words I told you?
Let me take care of you for the rest of your life.
Senior Brother Yu.
Before rushing to Mt. Yi, I already wrote Royal Father a memorial
and told him about my plans to complete our marriage ceremony.
Now, the palace has already started the preparations for our wedding.
We can't.
We can't get married.
What did you say?
Before you went to the battlefield,
you told me to leave you some yearning,
that's why, I didn't say.
But today, I can't hide it anymore.
Yin Xue and I...
I...
Yin Xue and I...
Enough.
- Senior Brother Yu. - Let me finish.
Ge'er,
we grew up together.
I have always
treated you as my Little Junior Sister.
Before leaving, Teacher suddenly entrusted you to me.
I also was very suprised.
Now that, you're saying this,
I instead felt relieved.
My father has always been worried about me.
Yes.
Then, regarding the memorial that you've submitted to Your Majesty...
Will you get in trouble because of it?
I won't.
There is a pile of official documents waiting for me in my manor.
I can't stay long.
Wait for me here in Taste Flower Brothel. You must not expose your movements.
You are now dead in the hearts of the jianghu people.
That is your greatest cover.
Senior Brother, don't worry. I surely will not make rash moves.
Once I've handled some court affairs, I will then come find you.
Just be patient and wait for a few more days.
I'm going now.
Okay.
Prince.
Prince, you're leaving already? Don't you want to sit a bit longer?
Not anymore.
She...take care of her.
Prince, don't worry.
Lady will surely be safe here in our Taste Flower Brothel.
[Pass on Good Writings for Generations]
Prince, why didn't Eldest Miss return with you?
Dark River is currently looking for her. Temporarily hiding is more beneficial for her.
But our manor is safer than the Taste Flower Brothel.
It may not be so.
Get me some wine.
Although your body is better than before, your base is still thin.
It's not good to drink any wine in this weather.
Get me a flask of wine. Don't let anyone else know.
Go.
Go now.
[With Virtuous Cloud Spirit]
Chi Zhang, what are you doing here?
Prince drank wine last night and hasn't woken up until now.
Drink wine?
Prince. Prince.
What's wrong?
Prince, why did you suddenly drink so many wine?
I even thought...
Thought what?
Thought that you will be like last year, so sick that you were bedridden for a long time.
Getting drunk indeed doesn't feel good.
Prince hasn't been drunk before. It's natural to feel unwell after drinking so heavily like that.
Chi Zhang, go get a bowl of sobering soup.
Prince, are you entering the palace today?
No.
Don't Prince want to see His Majesty?
It's still not time.
Send out words that I'm very sick.
Yes.
Imperial Physician Shang.
Your Highness.
Is Royal Father not feeling well?
It is Prince of Jingyuan. He just returned from East China Sea and is now sick again.
Seventh Prince had to go through the jaws fo death every winter.
This year, I don't know if he'll be able to survive it again.
Have to trouble you to put in more efforts then.
It's part of my job. I've received orders to go to Prince of Jiangyuan Manor.
- Go now. - Yes.
Even the heaven is helping me.
Senior Brother was still well that day.
How come...
Teacher and Eldest Miss, Imperial Bodyguard Huang is here.
Eldest Miss. Sir.
Imperial Bodyguard Huang, how is Senior Brother?
Eldest Miss, don't worry. He's alright?
He's alright?
How come all the citizens outside are lighting candles and praying for him?
All these are part of his plan.
Sir, can we talk privately?
Does Prince of Jingyuan need a favor from me?
Sir indeed has the miracle of foresight.
My Prince want to ask a letter from you.
Say it. What do you want me to write?
Seventh Little Brother.
Second Older Brother.
Seeing that you're standing well in front of me today,
I'm now at ease.
These past years, I avoided mentioning that past thing.
- Do you know that— - The person that caused me to get crippled when I was little
was a spy secretly placed by Third Older Brother to your side.
You know everything?
This matter has always been stuffed in here. Now...
Now, really great! This is great.
Seventh Little Brother, how is your health?
I'm fine.
That's good then.
Second Older Brother, I have a gift to give you?
- To give to me? - Yes.
I should be the one gifting you.
You returned victoriously and will be getting married soon. As your Second Older Brother,
if I don't prepare a sumptuous gift for you, it will not be acceptable.
What? Did I say something wrong?
Second Older Brother, you surely will like this gift.
Oh? What gift? Tell me.
Xuan Huang.
Prince.
- This is... - The head of the Wo pirates.
Aren't the captured Wo pirates still on their way back here?
I orders men to escort him back first.
Why?
Because he is a witness that Third Older Brother has dealings with them.
Go now.
Thank you, Sir.
Thank you, Sir. Eldest Miss and Sir, I'll take my leave.
- Why did you write her? - A letter.
Letter?
This Senior Brother of yours just got his legs cured for a few days and is already starting to scheme on others.
- He's not that kind of person. He— - These next few days,
there will be a earth shattering change that will happen to Luoyang City.
Second Older Brother, are you satisfied with this gift?
Seventh Little Brother, Third Older Brother has established very deep foundation in the imperial court.
I am worried that if you only have 1 witness,
it's very hard for Royal Father to punish him.
- Drink some tea. - Okay.
Seventh Little Brother, no matter what, we all are brothers.
You telling me to throw a stone to Third Older Brother who has already fallen down the well, I...
I'm a bit hesitant to do so out of pity.
Moreover, you have military merits for defeating the Wo pirates.
For so many years, you also were deep favored and loved by Royal Father.
This time, both of your legs have even been cured.
The Crown Prince position will be yours sooner or later.
You don't need to deal with him now.
Second Older Brother, don't misunderstand. I'm not doing this for myself. I'm doing it for you.
Me?
Second Older Brother, you be the leader and I'll assist you.
You're helping me?
Just like what Second Older Brother said, I have achieved military merits.
If Second Older Brother wants to surpass me and obtain the Crown Prince position,
you must do something grand.
You...want me to become the Crown Prince?
Indeed.
Why?
I don't have any intentions for the royal throne.
Second Older Brother, I'm giving you that person. He's the witness.
Tonight, there will still be a letter sent to your manor.
Royal Father will surely not doubt the importace of that letter.
Seventh Little Brother, you assisting me to become the Crown Prince,
what will you ask in return?
The piping times of peace.
Everyone is dead?
Yes, Prince.
You did well.
Thank you, Prince, for your praises.
Yu Zihan wanted to brag about his military achievements?
But he never thought that the prisoners of war have all been killed by the citizens.
I really can't wait to enter the palace upon daybreak
to see the expression on his face.
- Come. - Prince.
Bottoms up.
Prince, since everything is ready, what else are we waiting?
Wait for news from the military camp.
I don't get it.
Prince, while being escorted back to Luoyang, the citizens started throwing stones on the war prisoners to seek vengeance.
All of the Wo pirates died because of it.
Good. Bring me some wine.
Prince. Do you know how worried we were when you got drunk last time?
It's fine. I'm happy today so I want to drink a cup of wine.
Seventh Little Brother.
Seventh Little Brother,
your complexion is good.
Thank you, Third Older Brother, for your concerns.
I heard that a few unruly citizens have gathered
and used stones to kill those Wo pirates.
Seventh...
You are still too careless.
Those are prisoners of war. Even though they were not killed by you,
they still died because of you.
If this gets out, it isn't beneficial to your reputation.
Third Older Brother, thank you for your teachings.
No problem. If Royal Father will blame you because of this,
I surely will beg leniency for you.
Please go in then, the victoriously returning Prince of Jingyuan.
Third Little Brother, did you encounter any joyous matter?
The Wo Kingdom was massively defeated. Who in the court will not be happy?
That is indeed reasonable.
The Emperor has arrived!
Royal Father.
Rise.
Yu'er, I really never thought that in this lifetime...
I still will be able to see this day when you're legs have fully recovered.
It's all thanks to Royal Father's good luck.
Royal Father, I have something to report.
Say it.
This matter is connected with the Wo disaster.
Is the Wo Kingdom doing any unnecessary activities again?
I don't know. May Second Older Brother explain it clearly.
I also don't know anything.
Second Older Brother, just be frank.
Last night, I've received secret information.
In the journey back to Luoyang, the Wo pirates got thrown with stones.
The leader of the Wo pirates died from the stone injury.
I didn't hear of that. Who killed them?
The Wo pirates have been roaming the East China Sea for almost 10 years. Arson, killing, raping, looting, they did all kinds of evil things.
There were a lot of families by soldiers that suffered from these.
It's just normal to have public outcry.
I have already expected that such a thing will happen.
That's why, I've ordered beforehand to have that leader of the Wo pirates replaced.
Based on what you're saying,
there must be a story behind it.
Royal Father, the Wo pirates have been roaming the East China Sea for almost 10 years.
Our empire kept increasing our army there, yet we never achieved any good result.
We just watched them progressed from several small fishing boats to their current unstoppable force.
I have always suspected that there must be an internal spy among our court officials,
that's why, the path to eliminating the Wo has been difficult.
Continue saying it.
I boldly had one Wo pirate poisoned to be come mute
and used him to replace that Wo pirate leader.
This is his testimony.
Who could have such huge guts
to collude with the Wo pirates? This is a crime punishable by execution.
That Wo pirate leader is still in my manor. He can serve as a witness.
Yu'er.
Royal Father.
For this matter...
I'll leave it to you to handle.
Yes.
Remember, this matter is grave.
You must act cautiously.
Yes.
If you find any hard evidence,
no need to make considerations.
I will accept your decree.
Are there any other proof?
Royal Father, I also found out who the mastermind behind Seventh Little Brother's poisoning last year.
Who?
This letter was written by Prince Snow Robe before he passed away.
- This was also recently delivered to me by his disciple. - Quickly hand it over.
Mytical Icy Cup...
Royal Father, don't believe a unilateral testimony.
Could it be that day,
if I didn't granted that mystical icy cup to your Seventh Little Brother and used it instead for myself, that would have suited your intentions more?
Royal Father, I didn't know that that mystical icy cup can cause harm.
I also was in pain when Seventh Little Brother got poisoned and I wasn't able to do anything to help him.
I was also very sad then.
That mystical icy cup was from jianghu.
It was the Thunderbolt Clique...it was them who framed me up.
Second, you've been fooled by the people fro Thunderbolt Clique!
Yu'er,
I'm also letting you handle this matter.
Royal Father,
for this case...shouldn't I inhibit myself?
Royal Father...
No need.
I will accept your order.
Prince, forgive us.
How dare you! Who gave you the right
to use force on me?
Third Older Brother.
The assassins below Mt. Yi are your people too, right?
Mt. Yi? What Mt. Yi?
You and Second colluded to harm me?!
- Third Older Brother, I'm just commanded to handle this case. - Yu Zihan!
Prince, please.
I regret it so much. I had so many chances but wasn't able to kill you.
The stupidest thing you've done is just to harm me, you disregarded Royal Father's safety
and gave him the mystical icy cup.
If you just harmed me, Royal Father might consider that you were his real son
and be merciful to you. But now,
no one can save you anymore, Third Brother.
Seventh...
You're actually the most vicious one.
Hurry.
- Search! - Yes.
Prince, these are evidences of exchange letters I found in the manor of Prince of Jingxian.
Also, some accounting books that meticulously recorded the source of all his valuables.
There are a lot of ministers included in it, including Prince of Jingyang.
Send all these accounting books to the manor of Prince of Jingyang.
- Yes. - Yes.
The next things that I'm going to tell you to do
must only be known by you two.
You can't even say it to Little Junior Sister.
- Yes. - Yes.
Deliver this letter to Dao Wuxia of World Swordless City.
Dao Wuxia?
Starting today, I will still do a lot of things that you two might not understand.
No need to make unnecessary guesses. Just do them. Just believe in me.
- Yes. - Yes.
City Leader.
Imperial Bodyguard Huang.
This is from my Prince.
Thank you.
I've brought the letter. I'll then take my leave now.
Take care.
Wasn't that Yu Zihan's imperial bodyguard?
Third Miss, what are you looking at?
I've recognized someone wrongly.
Are there still no news about Deputy Sect Leader Zhan?
He...no news.
Third Miss, are you not worried about your husband?
He and I don't really have any affection as husband and wife.
He only owes me a divorce paper so I can extricate myself from this.
He is indeed Prince of Jingyuan.
Causing such a huge movement that is shocking the imperial court,
aren't Sect Leader afraid that this person is hard to control?
I don't like controlling stupid people.
Only by working with smart people can I find happiness and pleasure.
For example, you.
Sect Leader, you are overpraising me.
Do you know what he has written on his letter?
I am slow witted.
He is bargaining conditions with me. He doesn't want me to meddle with his court affairs.
A cripple who got to stand up because of Sect Leader actually dared to give conditions?
He has that right.
I've placed so many people to enter the government and become officials.
I also give gifts to Prince of Jingxian and Prince of Jingyang every year.
Too bad, these two princes have always been cautious in dealing with us.
Yu Zihan has something in his hand that I don't have.
That's why, he is qualified to negotiate conditions with me.
What Sect Leader is referring to is his military power?
Indeed.
Does Sect Leader think that he can be trusted?
Try letting a cripple taste how it feels to stand up,
will he be willing to sit on a wheelchair again?
Let's just watch the tigers fight each other. Don't meddle.
Yes.
City Leader has arrived!
[Honesty and Morality Hall]
Please sit down.
Minister Liu, you must have come to the wrong place.
The mighty reputation of World Swordless City is at its peak right now.
You also have the Dark River secretly supporting you.
If I don't beg you, who will I beg?
Government matters and jianghu are 2 different things. I cannot meddle in this matter.
During the Wo pirates incident,
that was not what you said.
Wo pirates? What about them?
That strategy that you suggested to our Prince in going against Prince of Jingyuan.
Minister Shang, you must not make careless comments. You have to have a sense of propriety.
Good thing, this place is my Swordless City Manor. If those words get out,
- Dao Wuxia, you— - Men!
Tie up this evil official that was conniving with the Wo pirates.
- How come you are suddenly going back against your words?! - Yes!
- Throw him out. - Wait.
Cut off his tongue and send him to the manor of Prince of Jingyang.
Dao Wuxia! You're burning the bridges after you've crossed it!
- Ungrateful! - Move!
You will have a tragic death!
- My Prince will surely kill you! - Hurry up!
Just wait and see!
Wait!
Eldest Miss.
Make him a wooden inscription and hang it on his neck.
Write the words 'Conniving with the Wo Pirates' and let the citizens see it.
Yes.
Were everything that you said earlier true?
Miss. what are you doing here?
Your family also died in the hands of the Wo pirates, right?
Yes.
Good thing, Prince of Jingyuan saved us and annihilated the Wo pirates. He has taken vengeance for my family.
In front of others, don't mention Prince of Jingyuan.
After all, you're now back in Swordless City.
Yes. Miss, don't worry. I understand.
Prince.
You're here.
You finally won over me.
But I never thought that you will join forces with Second to plot against me.
You think that Second doesn't want that royal throne?
For so many years, he has been fighting with me openly and covertly
just for that royal position.
You are still too young. You won't be able to defeat him.
I never thought of having the royal throne.
I don't believe you.
No one will not want it.
Everyone's desires are different.
And I don't have any desire for power.
Why then did you waste so much effort to fight with me?
I can give you everything that you want
as long as you help me this time.
Do you still remember...
Feng Xixi?
That brothel lady?
She used to be a lady of an government official household. Because of you, her family got ruined and she ended up being a prostitute.
She clearly knew that she won't be able to defeat you. Her only wish was to save enough money
so she can bring her old mother and young brother to reunite with his exiled father.
But you killed her.
Just because I killed a brothel lady, you harmed me?
I am your biological older brother!
You...
Seventh Little Brother, I was wrong.
I admit my mistakes.
It was because I envied you. I envied you for being highly favored.
I was just muddled for a moment. Forgive me this time, okay?
We are of the same blood.
These past 20 years, how many Feng Xixi have died in your hands, in the hands of your mercenaries?
I can make up for it.
Do you still remember my legs that got crippled when I was 3?
It was you who caused me to sit on a wheelchair for these past 20 years, unable to walk.
Second told you?
It was you who caused me to just watch as the woman I love fall into a sea of fire!
All because of these crippled legs, I was unable to save her.
You can still have more women!
Third Older Brother, Royal Father has granted you a flask of wine.
Tomorrow will be your burial day.
Impossible...
I am his biological son. He won't kill me.
Yu Zihan...
Yu Zihan! You can't go! Come back!
Yu Zihan!
Yu Zihan! Yu Zihan!
Yu Zihan, come back here! I want to see Royal Father!
I want to see Royal Father!
All is over...
I won't lose...
Go back and make preparations. Burn some paper money for Lady Feng tonight.
Yes.
Lady Feng, I've taken revenge.
The day when the case of the Feng family will be overturned is not far too.
Just rest in peace.
Young Master, we've reached in the Prince Manor.
Let's go in.
Hey, Jinghong.
Young Master Ji, you two go in first.
Lei Jinghong and I will wait for you two outside.
Could it be that you don't trust my Senior Brother Yu?
I am just afraid to disturb the reunion between you two.
After all, Lei Jinghong and I are considered outsiders.
We also are counted as your enemies right now.
That's good too. Just wait for me here then. I'll come out later to look for you.
If I don't come out, you two need not show yourself anymore.
Thanks, Bi'er.
Young Master, let's go.
Let me ask you, do you also suspect that my Senior Brother Yu will harm them?
We both clearly know the feelings of Senior Brother Yu towards Eldest Miss.
Now that the whereabouts of Eldest Miss is unclear and the rumors in jianghu is saying that Young Master Lei was the one who caused it.
I fear that Senior Brother Yu might overthink.
I can be their witness.
Yes, Young Master. We both can be their witnesses.
That's why, when we have explained it clearly later, I'll come out to get them.
- Let's go. - Okay.
This is the first batch of cases that must be retried. Send them to Prince of Jingyang.
Yes.
Prince, you really are toiling yourself but is not getting any benefit in return.
It's enough that the government and citizens benefit from it.
Prince, since you've fully recovered, why not...
Second Older Brother is more suitable than me.
Are there any wine?
Prince, no matter what you say today, I won't give you any more wine.
At most, just 2 cups.
Impossible.
Then...one cup.
Oh, right. Now that the case has been concluded, why not go to Taste Flower Brothel to fetch Eldest Miss?
Prince, Young Master Ji is here.
Junior Brother Ji?!
