Have you ever heard about that the cliff of a snow mountain once fascinated numerous people? Legend has it that, there were treasures at the peak but also there was a bottomless chasm hidden over there. The smart, the fool and the kind people, all are familiar to you. On the mountainside, on the cliff,
On the cloud, and in the human world, snowflakes are drifting profusely and disorderly. Joy of Life Season 1 Episode 21 Lin Gong joined hands with Si Lili to try to assassinate Fan Xian on Niulan Street, but Si Gujian lost a disciple and a follower during the process. The two female assassinators
Were killed by Fan Xian. Why did Si Gujian kill Lin Gong to take revenge? Everyone knows that Si Gujian is obsessed with swordsmanship. Fan Xian killed the two assassinators when he was attacked. Si Gujian would think highly of him because of his capabilities. And he’d only take revenge on Lin Gong and Beiqi
That are behind all this. Wait. How does it relate to Beiqi? Your Majesty, Lin Gong tried to assassinate Fan Xian because he was fooled by secret agents. Beiqi disturbed the peace in the capital city and then got Si Gujian involved into this case. They’re really evil-minded. Your Majesty, please dispatch troops
And go on a punitive expedition against Beiqi. What? Dispatch troops? Exactly. Dispatch troops? We can’t do that without careful thought. Prime Minister, what do you think? Prime Minister. Your Majesty, I beg you to bring fair back to my dead son. Prime Minister, you’re the most important official. Come on. Rise. Your Majesty,
I beg you to bring fair back to my dead son! In this case, I’ll order Dongyi Town to hand over the killer. As for Beiqi… I’ve never thought about getting into a fight with them, but they’ve gone too far in bullying us. They’re pressing on step by step. So, let’s go to war.
I’ll take a nation’s strength to punish the wicked. I see. Good. Everything is clear now. You! Your Majesty. You slandered your brother, so you’ll be grounded for three days. Read more classics. Both of you can leave. Your Highness. As brothers, we haven’t had a heart-to-heart talk for long. How about getting together someday?
I’ll be grounded for three days. I don’t dare to disobey the order. Prime Minister, you lost your son. I understand how you’re feeling, but the war is going to start. You have to take good care of yourself. The six ministries need your management. I have mixed feelings that are beyond words.
It’s okay as long as it’s clear in your mind. Your Majesty, I have one more request. Go ahead. Now that the whole thing came to light, I hope Head Chen can have my son’s body sent to my mansion. He made a big mistake, but he’s my son, anyway.
I want to have his bones buried. It’s only right and proper. I’ll have him sent back later. In this case, your subordinate takes his leave. Prime Minister. Prime Minister, considering what happened between your son and Fan Xian, do you want to invalidate Wan’er’s marriage contract to Fan Xian?
It’s my son that made a mistake. It has nothing to do with Fan Xian. Besides, Fan Xian did a lot to chase secret agents of Beiqi. We don’t need to invalidate their marriage contract. You lost your son. According to etiquette, no wedding ceremonies should be held in three years in your mansion. Wan’er
Has nothing to the Lin mansion in name. They can get married as scheduled. Right. It makes sense. Their marriage contract will remain unchanged. But the war is going to begin, so let’s talk about their wedding ceremony after the war ends. Your Majesty, it’s a wise decision. See Prime Minister out.
Your Majesty, I’m leaving too. You’re still here? Yes. Okay. Eunuch Hou, don’t bother. We’ll leave by ourselves. I’d better see you out. Let’s go. Si Gujian killed Lin Gong? It’s ridiculous. It’s true that Lin Gong was killed by a skilled swordsman. Do you think Lin Ruofu bought the story?
It doesn’t matter as long as the common people are convinced. Did you really see the Second Prince and Xie Bi’an that day? Yes, I did. Then the Second Prince couldn’t have done that. Isn’t it Si Gujian? Did a Great Master come here to kill Gong’er just for his two unknown followers?
Uncle, you don’t believe that? I’m not stupid. In this case, why didn’t you say it out? His Majesty acted in concert with Chen Pingping just to draw a final decision. Nobody cares if I believe it or not. Is it the answer His Majesty wants? It’s the answer Nanqing wants.
It’ll be used as a perfect excuse to send armed forces to attack Beiqi. The common people will be filled with a common hatred. What a good answer! How about the truth about Lin Gong’s death? There’ll be no truth at all. The reason why Nanqing wants to attack Beiqi
Has to be beyond all doubt. I won’t be able to find out the truth anymore. All our grievances and sorrow have to be hidden behind that. I’m not a qualified father. I don’t deserve to be his father. Lin Gong was really killed by a martial arts master.
Is Wuzhu in the capital city or not? I don’t know. No matter if he’s here, we have to insist the killer should be Si Gujian. We can’t let anyone else know that Wuzhu is alive. The Investigator’s Office is erasing all information about him. Try to find him. Don’t believe Chen Pingping.
Stay away from him as much as possible. What kind of person is he? He’s well known for being resourceful, capricious and ruthless. Nobody can gain an insight into his mind. Do you hold a post in the Investigator’s Office? Yeah. Don’t get involved too much. After you marry Wan’er, I’ll find a way
To transfer you to the Ministry of Personnel. It’ll be safer to work there. Besides, don’t be curious about the truth of Gong’er’s death. Don’t investigate it anymore. Of course I won’t. The secrets behind all this will be more than you can bear. Uncle, did you guess who is the killer? Chen Pingping
Wouldn’t forge the wounds. I’m afraid he was really killed by a Great Master. Among the four Great Masters, Ku He is in Beiqi, Si Gujian is in Dongyi and Ye Liuyun roams about the world. The three of them couldn’t have done that. How about the last one? The last one
Is in the imperial palace. Who can order him to kill? The Great Master in the imperial palace will only listen to His Majesty. Uncle. Gong’er’s death just gives His Majesty a good excuse to start the war. The timing is perfect. Do you suspect… I’m just talking about current affairs with you.
I suspect nobody. Let’s forget about it. Don’t mention it again. I see. Spend more time with Wan’er. She has a good relationship with Gong’er and she’s been in poor health. Don’t let her come over for the funeral. Go to see her and try to cheer her up. Got it.
I have something else to do. You can leave. What’s up? Her Highness wants to see you. Show me the way. Take this. It must be sweet. You won’t give short weight, right? Which one do you prefer? This one. I want this. Okay. Ruofu, don’t be too sad.
Your Highness, thank you for your care. I really appreciate it. Do you really have to talk to me like that? It makes you sound distant. You’re a princess and I’m just a subordinate. Your Highness, you know well that you don’t love me at all. You just want to take advantage of me
As a powerful minister, right? I know you’re angry. I don’t mind you venting your anger on me. Gong’er is not my son, but I also want to find out the killer. Your Highness, don’t bother. His Majesty is wise. He’s found out the murderer. I know you’re not convinced.
Why do you want to see me? I’ve heard you insisted on Wan’er marrying Fan Xian. Your Highness, you’re well-informed. She’s my daughter. I don’t want her to marry Fan Xian. He’s a bumpkin. Do you hate to part with Wan’er or to lose control of Neiku?
I didn’t expect you’d look down upon me so much. Li Yunrui, we know each other so well. Don’t pretend to be sad and sorrowful before me. I’m Wan’er’s mother. I don’t want her to marry him. Why don’t you go to His Majesty? Do we really have to talk like this? Wan’er likes him.
So what? Her marriage is up to you and me. Since she was born, I’ve seen her few times. I owe her too much. So, I don’t want to stop her doing what she likes to do anymore. Besides, Fan Xian is nice to Dabao. I’ll be relieved
To let Fan Xian take care of the Lin family. Do you know he’s a bastard son? It’s easier to support someone without influence. Wouldn’t you ever think about me? -Hurry. -Hurry. Slow down. Your Highness. Prime Minister. Li Yunrui, I’ve thought about it. Neiku is not yours. Let it go. We’d better
Not see each other again. Kill them and throw them into the river. Come here for fun! Sir, can you watch my kite for me? I want to go and play for a while. Go ahead. Thank you. Have you got over your cough? Why are you here alone? My second brother is dead.
I know. I’ve heard it’s he that plotted the Niulan Street assassination. Is it true? Yes. I remember Teng Zijing’s death is a big blow to you. You’d been trying to find out the one behind it, right? Yeah. I have a question for you. Don’t lie to me. Go ahead.
I won’t lie to you. Did you kill my second brother? No. Look at my eyes. I didn’t kill Lin Gong. Knowing he was killed, I was both sad and worried. I was afraid it’s you that killed him. Did you plan to kill me with that sword if it were me? I’d kill myself.
It’d be too much for me to bear if it were you. I’d kill myself to keep Lin Gong company. Head, it’s the cart of Assistant Minister of Ministry of Revenue ahead. Stop him. I have something to say to him. Got it. Keep your distance. I’ve got cold hands and feet. I feel tired.
It’s because of rapid changes in your mood. You’ll be alright after having a rest. Head Chen said it’s Si Gujian that killed my second brother. Yeah. He also said Beiqi cheated your second brother and took this opportunity to make mischief between Dongyi Town and Nanqing. What an insidious act!
Luckily, Head Chen saw it through. His Majesty decided to send armed force to attack them. A war is coming? A nation’s strength will be taken to avenge Lin Gong’s death. Lots of people will die. You don’t want to take revenge? Yes, I do. It’s just that it’ll get many innocent people involved.
When will hatred end? Silly girl. Go to sleep. I questioned you today. Please don’t get mad at me. How could I? I’ll take you out of city for a walk in a few days. Out of city? Your condition will get worse if you stay here all the time.
You’ll feel better if you go out for a walk. It’s okay as long as you stay with me. I’ll always stay with you. Go to sleep. I’ll leave after you fall asleep. It was quick. You took him back while I was not here. And you also found a good girl for him.
I just want to use it as a chance to seize back Neiku. It’s just about some money. Why don’t you let it go? The Investigator’s Office couldn’t have been set up if she hadn’t aided you financially. Neiku is the source of revenue for the royal household. If Fan Xian takes it over,
He’ll become a target for all. Listen to me. Invalidate their marriage contract. It’s too late. He wants to marry that girl. The Ye family has lost control of Neiku. Why do you get Fan Xian involved? You wouldn’t have given him that token if you wanted him to stay away from all this.
You did that in the hope of letting him take over the Investigator’s Office, right? I want him to inherit it. Both the Investigator’s Office and Neiku are of great importance. His Majesty is of great talent and bold vision. I don’t think he’d let Fan Xian hold the two posts concurrently.
The Investigator’s Office is in the teeth of the storm. Isn’t it great to let Xian’er just be a rich guy? Without power, his wealth will finally become a castle in the air or an unrooted tree. I’ll protect him. Don’t forget he almost lost his life on Niulan Street.
I won’t let such a thing happen again. He’ll have nothing to worry about if he takes over the Investigator’s Office. It’s the best way of survival to stay away from power struggle. It seems you can’t convince me and vice versa. It’s always the case. Fine. Let’s try to do all we can respectively.
Fan Xian’s future will be up to himself. Okay. You don’t want to take revenge? Yes, I do. It’s just that it’ll get many innocent people involved. When will hatred end? The capital city is a dangerous place. If you didn’t choose to support someone, it could lead to your doom. Did you
Kill my second brother? I won’t be able to find out the truth anymore. All our grievances and sorrow have to be hidden behind that. I’ll take a nation’s strength to punish the wicked. We have to start the war! Is it the answer His Majesty wants? It’s the answer Nanqing wants. She said
It means they’ve gone somewhere far far away. Someday, I’ll also go there. When I see them again, I’ll tell them it’s been a long time and I miss them. The one behind the assassination attempt is extremely powerful now that it even dared to do it in public. This is just the beginning.
The road ahead will be full of hazards. How do you know I’m here? I saw everything. Wan’er came to our mansion for you. She asked me a lot about your attitude toward Lin Gong. I was worried, so I followed her all the way. I promised never to lie to her. You didn’t lie.
Brother, you didn’t kill Lin Gong. But I know it’s Wuzhu that did it. I didn’t tell her about that. Honesty is extremely important in a relationship. I know. But what’s more important, you have to consider what’d happen if you tell the truth. Both of you would be in pain and then break up.
It does no good to either of you. Wan’er is in poor health. How could she bear such suffering? But… No “but”! Brother, sometimes, lying with good intentions might be the right thing to do. Will you lie to me if anything happens to you? Of course I won’t. But you just said…
I won’t marry you. Why would I lie to you? Fine. I can’t refute what you said. Because it makes sense. Sometime, I think you’re similar to Wuzhu. Really? Is he as beautiful as me? Thank you for coming here and comforting me. I feel better.
I’ve heard you were summoned to the imperial palace again. How did it come out? Lin Gong’s case is resolved. So quick! It’s a little complicated. I’ll explain it to you on our way back. Do you mean His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to dispatch troops to attack Beiqi? As an onlooker,
I think it’s a complicated situation. The Second Prince, the Crown Prince, the Prime Minister and even Chen Pingping are against each other. Chen Pingping is protective towards you. The Prime Minister is your future father-in-law. The Second Prince treats you like a friend. Except the Crown Prince, everyone else is nice to you.
In this case, you’re extraordinary at associating with people. Are you trying to make fun of me? You can realize it, anyway. Each of them has their own perspective, but there is one with whom I think something is going wrong. Who is it? The Crown Prince. What’s wrong? Without any other evidence
Except that Lin Gong was killed by a skilled swordsman, he even accused Li Chengze of murder. When his argument was refuted easily, he didn’t do anything else to justify himself. Don’t you think he’s too reckless? Anything wrong? The Crown Prince showed his recklessness, but nobody was surprised. Even Chen Pingping
Didn’t think anything went wrong. Brother, it’s not been long since you came to the capital city. People say the Crown Prince has little talent and learning and handles matters recklessly. Everyone is used to it. That’s why many people changed to support the Second Prince. I’m not used to it,
So I think it’s weird. If the Crown Prince really has little talent as they said, how could he have stayed in the Eastern Palace for such a long time? Maybe His Majesty is protective of him. Is that all? Besides Chen Pingping and Lin Ruofu who are full of cunny tricks,
His Majesty and the Second Prince are also there. If the Crown Prince had any plot, they must’ve have seen it through. Besides, what happened today was a complete farce. It did no good to him at all. I wish it’s me that thought too much. Your Highness, flowers in the backyard are in bloom.
How about going out for a walk? His Majesty asked me to stay inside for three days. It’s our own yard. I need to put a stop to all distracting thoughts. You can leave. Got it. His Highness offended His Majesty again. What should we do? He’s impulsive. If it goes on like this,
How could he defeat the Second Prince? Yeah. I’ve heard the Second Prince… Hush! Got it. Stop gossiping. Go. Si Lili. I’m Chen Pingping. You must’ve heard that I’m in charge of everything in the Investigator’s Office. I have a question. Did you tell Fan Xian it’s Lin Gong that plotted the Niulan Street assassination?
No. I didn’t. You shouldn’t have hesitated. Tomorrow morning at the imperial court, His Majesty will tell everyone secret agents of Beiqi sowed discord between Nanqing and Dongyi Town and assassinated the second son of the Prime Minister, so we’ll declare war on Beiqi. The Nanqing army will set foot on the border
And attack Beiqi in a day. Sowed discord between Nanqing and Dongyi Town? Si Gujian killed Lin Gong. It’s Beiqi that plotted this matter. Si Gujian? As a secret agent of Beiqi, you’re supposed to be killed before the war starts. But I’m the only one that can keep you safe. Understand?
What’s the price for it? From now on, no matter who asks you the question I asked just now, don’t hesitate. There is only one answer: you didn’t tell Fan Xian the truth. Fan Xian doesn’t have reason to kill Lin Gong. Who is he to you? What’s your relationship?
If you give the wrong answer, nobody can keep you safe. If you want to protect Fan Xian, you just need to kill Si Lili. Fan Xian promised to spare her life. Even I am curious who he is to you. An old friend. He was brought up in Danzhou.
How could you have met him? Ruohai, how long have you been working here? I don’t remember. Among all directors, only two can bear heavy responsibilities. One is you and the other is Zhu Ge of the First Division. On terms of experience and personal feeling, the next Head of the Investigator’s Office
Will be one of you. Why are you mentioning this? If Fan Xian is the next Head of the Investigator’s Office, what do you think? The Investigator’s Office is yours. You can hand it over to anyone you like. Would you kill me if I had expressed my discontentment? We’ve been working together for years.
How could I do that? We’ve been working together for years, so I could tell you wanted to kill me when I looked at your eyes. Uncle. Be careful when you come here again. That guy called Shadow keeps following me. He’s gone back to the Investigator’s Office. You knew that?
Chen Pingping wants to protect you. Why? Of course it’s because of Lady Ye. Who is my mom to him? I can’t remember. I just know it’s Chen Pingping’s black knights that took revenge in the capital city after Lady Ye was killed. It turns out it’s him. I remember. You have her eyes.
Who is she? Ye Qingmei. What’s so magical about my mom? She’s the guider and the betrayer. She’s like Nuwa who repaired the heaven. She’s the cause of every phenomenon on earth. She’s the end of finality. Uncle. What am I talking about? Don’t you know what you just said? I said them out
Before I knew it. They might come from the depths of my memory, but I can’t remember. It’s alright. Take your time if you can’t remember. Uncle. What’s up, Uncle Wuzhu? Uncle. Uncle. Uncle Wuzhu. Uncle! Uncle! I think I remember where the Taiping Residence is. Where is it? 2.5 km east of the city.
In the river of history, time goes round and round. Memories about the former and present lives join each other in an endless way. In the long drunken Milky Way, one season follows another in a flash, and the wild geese are flying south. I just can’t give up
To be with you for my whole life. I have been hovering in the dreams for hundreds and thousands of times. I can’t even say a word when I watch the flowers falling. Year after year in the wandering, I count the remaining years. Even though we can’t meet each other anymore,
Even though we have ended up the destiny, I never feel regretful. In such a chaotic world, I still miss you as ever. I can’t fall asleep under the moon. With a gentle heart, I cherish our remaining years. Even though we have to go through all the hardships along the journey,
You always stay by my side, watching the falling flowers, speechlessly. Year after year in the wandering, I count the remaining years. Even though we can’t meet each other anymore, even though we end up the destiny, I never feel regretful. In such a chaotic world, I still miss you as ever.
I can’t fall asleep under the moon. With a gentle heart, I cherish our remaining years. Even though we have to go through all the hardships along the journey, you always stay by my side…
