SUBTITLES BY Babel Fansub www.facebook.com/BabelSub Subbers : Rita, Rachel Joy Of Life Episode 32 Your majesty, everyone’s here. Lunch is ready. It’s just a family meal, no need to stand on ceremony. Your majesty, since this is a family meal, it’s inappropriate for me to be here. Don’t mind that, you have a thick skin.
Let’s eat. I don’t feel very well today. I’m not eating. You kids go ahead. It’s been a long time since we last sat together like this. I have a lot of work to do later, so we’re not drinking. Eat. Dig in! We’re not in the court, make yourselves comfortable.
You’ve been too rigid since you’re a child, now you’re still so stiff. Look at him. You’ve been lack of table manners since you’re a child you haven’t changed either. Fan Xian. Yes, your majesty. Which one of these two do you prefer? Family meal, casual conversation. All is forgiven? All is forgiven.
Then I’ll speak frankly. Your majesty, are you messing with me? What you’re asking is for me to choose how I wanna die. No matter what I say, it’s gonna look like a death wish. You won’t be afraid of dying if you’re loyal. What if all the loyal ones were dead,
What’s left were bunch of treacherous ones? Are you loyal or treacherous? It depends on whatever your majesty need. I can go both ways. What do you two think of him? A marvellous talent, and the pillar of the state. I’ve seen a lot loyal officials and treacherous ones.
However, I’ve rarely seen someone this devious but loyal. One says he’s the pillar, the other one says he’s rare. You two think the world of him. No matter how much we value him, he’s worthy of it. Since you feel that way, from now on, you should be more protective of him.
No matter which one of you shall succeed to the throne, he will always be an important officer of the court. Your majesty is at your prime, you will live a long and glorious life. I second that. Live long? If I were to live long, you’ll feel happy about it or not?
Come on, sit. Eat. Come on. How’s the dishes? Your majesty, I have no idea. No idea? I’m too nervous to taste anything. These past few days, officers from every ministry submitted memorials to accuse you of leaking state secrets, that you had something to do with Yan Bingyun’s capture in Northern Qi.
Do you know? I’ve heard. So do I. Both of you have quite a lot of adherents. Those accusations have been going on for days, that’s enough. I have no adherents, but I will speak for the truth, clear the air. I have few friends in the court, they are to be warned
Or persuaded accordingly, to make sure the rumor is contained. Fan Xian, if you want to prove yourself innocent, you’ll put the rumor to rest. Your majesty, what do you want me to do? Escorting Xiao En to Northern Qi, to get Yan Bingyun back. We need a team leader for this mission.
Your majesty want me to to go to Northern Qi to make the trade? The only way to make suspicions go away is for you to complete the mission. Is that your majesty’s edict? Only a suggestion. It’s your choice. Remember what I said, whatever his majesty wants you to do, don’t agree to anything
Unless there’s an edict. Fan Xian, before you came here, you went to see prime minister Lin? Yes, I did. Prime minister Lin is quite experienced, you should listen to him more. What if I didn’t want to go to Northern Qi? Would that be defying your majesty’s order? Absolutely not.
It’s just some changes have to be made about your engagement. What…what does it mean? There are suspicions about you from every ministry. If you get married with Lin Waner, and take control of the royal treasury, it won’t be acceptable. But it’s a good thing. If that happens,
There are lots of ladies from respectable families in the capital, we’ll find you someone else. I would like to go to Northern Qi. Think it over, take your time. I’m not forcing you. Think it carefully. I want to go so bad, pleas let me. Good. You can ask Chen Pingping about the itinerary.
After you return from Northern Qi, I’ll have the wedding arrangement made for you. Thank you, your majesty. I’m tired, I’ll get some rest. You kids carry on. It’s fine. It’s fine. By the way, Fan Xian, I have a present for you. Arise. Are you waiting for me?
I came here to say goodbye to your highness. You got demoted for something I did, you’re going to guard the border. It has made my heart sting ever since I heard. Fan Xian has accepted the mission to go north, he’s leaving soon. I see. Your highness, news came from the court,
Fan Xian will lead the delegation to Northern Qi. Good. The border region between two countries is vast and deserted, accidents are prone to happen there. The place I will be stationed is on the way north. After acquiring Fan Xian’s itinerary, I will let you know immediately. I will be waiting. What’s that? You…
Look at these flowers. They have ample water and sunlight, why are they withering? The terrifying chief justice Chen is now worrying about the flowers? Your mother planted the seeds back in the day. If you’re worried, why not have a gardener fix them? Or move them into flowerpots? Your mother said,
They have their own destiny. Just let them be. So we just leave them be. Yes, all those years, no matter how far I traveled, I couldn’t stop thinking about these flowers. Yes, no matter how far I traveled, they’ve always been on my mind, fearing that I won’t see them when I came back.
I’m afraid they won’t make it through this winter. You miss her? It’s alright, they can be saved. They’re lack of potassium. Potassium? When I was studying under Mr. Fei, I grew some herbs. Let me make you some powder later that can revive these flowers. Rest assure, I’m their destiny.
Your mother planted them, you’re protecting them. This is also called destiny. This mission abroad is not only a test but also an opportunity. But most importantly, you have to get Yan Bingyun back safe and sound. Understood. There’s something else, you should beware of someone, Shen Zhong, the head of their secret service.
Be careful of him. He is extremely dangerous. He gotta be threatening if he’s got your attention. As for other information I put them in your carriage. You can read them on your way home. You have to learn the political situations in Northern Qi. Yes. In a couple of days,
You’ll be on your way to Northern Qi. I’ll have people protect you secretly, in case the chief princess plans to assault you. I understand. Have you seen Lin Ruofu yet? I have. What did he say? He said whatever his majesty wanted me to do, don’t say yes to that. But you said yes.
His majesty said that if I didn’t go to Northern Qi, he would arrange me to marry someone else. This mission is very important, but it’s not as important as your life. I think you’re very nice. Me? Nice? You’re the first one to say that about me over the years.
I’m a good judge of character, better than other people. After you return from the north, you can start taking charge of the overwatch council gradually. Some day, you’ll be in charge of both the royal treasury and the overwatch council, I will be assisting you from behind the curtain.
You’ll become the most important official of the state that no one is capable of threatening your safety any more. Not even his majesty? You shouldn’t have asked that. I spoke out of turn. Go. Someone is waiting for you, in the eight-diagram hall. Waiting for me? You’ll know when you get there.
I think, the alpha four poison is the best. I vote for the beta three, it takes more effort to counter the toxic. What if you accidentally poisoned yourself with that? Mr. Leng, Acting Director of the Third Bureau of the Overwatch Council Well… Little brother, remember me? Brother Leng. Right, right, right.
Director Fei is not here, I’m the acting director. I heard you’re going to Northern Qi, we had something prepared for you. Come and see. Greetings, brothers. Greetings. We can exchange pleasantries later. Come here. You have such good figure, just the right size. Here, try it on. What is this? See?
Wear this underneath, it’s fireproof. But it can’t withstand constant burning. It can also resist some of the damage sharp instruments could do. But if your opponent is wielding a huge axe, I’d suggest you duck. This is our new portable repeating crossbow, you can fire by tapping here. Oops, missed. It’s a concealed weapon,
But not lethal, not unless you shoot your opponents in their vital parts. That’s alright, the alpha four poison is easy to counter. He’ll be kicking again in a minute. An umbrella made out of asbestos fibre, its ribs are very firm. Open it when you fall from a high place,
It’ll help you fall slower. This rope can easily support the weight of total four or five men. In case you get bored, it can be used to strangle someone for fun. It looks like a normal jade pendant, smash it when you’re in danger, you’ll get the cover you need to escape.
I put some really spicy powder in it, it will repel the enemy. Open the door, hurry. Stop! Hurry, hurry, hurry! This fan has hidden needles in it, see? It contains the gamma six poison, not lethal, just makes people itchy. Itchy. Look at these big toys. Considering you’re not going to a battlefield,
You won’t be needing these. You gave me more than enough. Right, Director Fei has told me that you’re quite good with poison yourself. So we didn’t make any poison for you. Brother, I’m gonna need some raw materials. What do you need? Poisonous citrus, claudetite, semen strychni, camphora… Wait.
Poisonous citrus is a little too bitter, not subtle enough. Semen strychni and camphora are not hard to acquire. I can’t just buy them myself, people will notice. Alright, alright, don’t worry, we have plenty. Can I get you some chloroform? New drug? A new type of anesthetic, Director Fei had it tested,
Said it worked better than semen strychni. Is it easy to make an antidote? Practically the same as any anesthetic. I see. Instead of claudetite, can I have what’s coated on the arrow? It works faster. Murder! My lord, please come out. What’s going on? Enemy is coming. Who? I couldn’t see.
Guards that were protecting you, I can’t reach most of them. Whoever it is, he’s dreadful. My lord, you should go, I’ll cut him off. My lord, go! Team three, come here! They’re all gone. My lord, run! Teacher? Fei Jie, Director of the Third Bureau of the Overwatch Council They stink.
The third bureau made these? Poison number three? No. Number four. You’re back. I just saw a lot of sneaky people around you. That’s fine, I’ve knocked them out. Why are you looking at me like that? He’s from the sixth bureau? For my protection. There are too many people in the overwatch council,
I can’t recognize them all. He’s not dead, is he? He’s not. I rarely use lethal poison. Come on. My lord! Director Fei? He’s uh, he’s… I work for Lord Fan now. Come with us then. Director Fei, long time no see. Your majesty! Are you here to pick a fight? I dare not to.
So it’s about Fan Xian. Northern Qi is our enemy country after all. Why does he have to be the one leading the delegation? Minister Lu retired due to health reasons, why don’t you take over the minister position in the ministry of revenue? I’m not asking for a promotion.
I’d rather quit my current job as the assistant minister as long as it could stop Fan Xian from going north. You wanna ignore the law of the state? What if something happened to Fan Xian? He’s young, he ought to be experiencing more. Or how could he take on important responsibilities?
He doesn’t have to take on important responsibilities. Do you know why I like you? There are a lot of people don’t want him to go. You’re the only one who came to me. Other people chose to trade favors instead of going through proper channels. Who is it your majesty referring to?
The minister position of the ministry of revenue, you will accept it. Fan Xian will accept his duty as well. Your majesty! No bargain. May I have my guards protect him all the way? Just this once. What? You need help standing up? Off you go. No problem. Help me pick one. Which one’s better?
How does this look? Let me see. Here, let me. Try another one. What do you think about that one? Better now. It’s beautiful. What about this one? Sure, everyone likes this. It’s not what I was looking for. This one is not good. I think it’s alright. What are you gentlemen doing here?
My grandson is getting married. He wants to buy some blusher for his bride. But he’s shy. Let us through. We’ll go to the shopkeeper for help. Young man, young man, you look so handsome! So adorable! His daughter is no good. My daughter’s very pretty! Stay! She’s very pretty! They just left.
Look at them! Let’s go, let’s go. I’m so envious. Make yourself comfortable. Just like when we were in Danzhou. I’ll be on my feet. Whose shop is it? Mine. You opened a shop that sells makeup? I went to poison someone in Northern Qi that year. Our target was a woman.
I had this sudden inspiration, made some poisonous blusher. I didn’t make it pretty enough, so she didn’t like it, refused to use it. Things went wrong, nearly caused a catastrophe. So you came home and opened a shop? My lord, you didn’t know. Ladies like that, they can be pretty picky
When they shop for makeups, but once they decided on what they want, they’d pay the bill without blinking, so generously. My wife is like that. Director Fei, good thinking. This is a very profitable business. It’s not about money. Then why did you open this shop? What happened that time
Has always been on my mind. What if I were to face a similar situation? I can’t make the same mistake. So I kept the shop. For years? For years. How bad was that mistake? It has haunted you till now. That mistake cost Chen Pingping his legs. Everyone was knocked out? Yes.
When I woke up, judge Fan is nowhere to be found. I’ve already had people search for him. Chief justice, should we assign people from the first bureau too? The person who took judge Fan is very dangerous. We should search the entire city. Did anyone see his face? Yes. Tell me.
Xiao En was the king of spies in Northern Qi. He was elusive. It took a lot of manpower to get the news about his son’s wedding. Chen Pingping led a long-range raid, captured Xiao En alive. I’ve heard that story. I arrived first that time. Xiao En and his son were on high alert.
I was planing on poisoning his daughter-in-law, using it as a leverage against them. I didn’t expect that blusher didn’t work. We lost half of the overwatch council in that raid. His son and daughter-in-law died there, Chen Pingping lost his legs. I kept wondering, if I hadn’t made that mistake, the situation
Could’ve been entirely different now. It would’ve been the same. A person like Xiao En would’ve never surrender just because his daughter-in-law was poisoned. No one will know how that would’ve turned out. I heard you’re gonna escort Xiao En to Northern Qi? Yes. To bring Yan Bingyun back.
Which son of a bitch came up with this idea? You’re not going! It was his majesty’s idea. I gotta get you out of the capital. Get ready. We’re escaping tonight. Teacher. Xiao En hates the overwatch council. Your relationship with me and Chen Pingping will not be a secret for long.
When you get to Northern Qi, how are you gonna handle Xiao En? Mr. Fei, I can do this. You have to listen to me on this. We’re leaving tonight. I’ll arrange for the escape route. Wait, director Fei, about me… You wait. You can come with after dark.
No, I mean my wife and daughter are in the capital. What does it have to do with me? Teacher. The overwatch council and the imperial guards won’t let me run. I’ll kill whomever tries to stop us. Wanna kill me? How do you know about this place? I’ve always known.
Fan Xian can’t go to Northern Qi. You know the consequences of defying his majesty’s will. If Fan Xian escaped, he can never come home again in his whole life. That would be better than getting killed in Northern Qi. What then? He’ll go travel the world with you,
Never being able to see his family and friends again? I am old. I’ve been in the overwatch council for so many years, I’ve witnessed my fair share of death and destruction. I will not see him end up like that! Besides, after I’m dead, I need someone bury me. Without Fan Xian,
I don’t have anyone else. If there’s only one person can survive in the whole world, I’d choose Fan Xian without a doubt. Why would you let him take Xiao En to Northern Qi? Do you know, after he returns, the future of the capital will lie into his hands?
It’s too dangerous, chief justice Chen! Who can live a life totally free of danger? It will ruin him if we make him live permanently in the shadow we cast. Don’t worry, I will make sure he’s safe! Stand up. If you can still stand up, I will believe you! It was my fault…
I wasn’t able to keep you safe! My lord! Teacher. I’m willing to go to Northern Qi. Li Yunrui sold Yan Bingyun out in order to destroy me. I was the cause. I have to bring him back. So beautiful! You said you had something very important to tell me. What is it?
I’m going to Northern Qi. I know. I actually don’t want to go. Then don’t. At the worst, you’ll fail his majesty’s expectations, I’ll move to Danzhou with you. If I don’t go to Northern Qi, our engagement will no longer exist. His majesty said that? Who else could it be?
We can elope if they won’t let us be together. I’ve had some money saved. It’ll be enough for us to live a comfortable life if we can be thrift. But the overwatch council might catch us. How about this? We sail on a big ship, out in the ocean,
Go wherever the journey takes us, until no one in this world can find us. When we sail away, we can never come back home again, you’re not afraid? I have you, you will protect me. You’re too lovely. I couldn’t control myself. I am serious. If you were to run away,
People will laugh at you. I don’t care. I do. Wait for me. When I come back from Northern Qi, we’ll get married. I don’t want you to force yourself for me, to do things that you don’t like. I won’t. The very thought of getting married when I return,
Makes me wanna go right away. Aren’t you afraid that someone might see us? I’m not. I told everyone to leave. You did? You were up to no good. I’m leaving, just think of it as a proper goodbye. Wait, stand there. Hands behind, don’t move. There are some rules,
First, don’t seduce any lady in Northern Qi. Nobody wants me but you. What if someone else does? I want nobody but you. I couldn’t control myself either. Why are you laughing? I’m not. I’m not. I was enjoying that, couldn’t resist. You said there were rules, what else?
I haven’t come up with them yet. No rush, take your time. What are you doing? I missed you. You are still here. I’ve already started missing you before I leave. That’s nice, but don’t get any ideas. Alright, you’re the boss. Listen to me. You have to come home alive
After your visit to Northern Qi. I will be waiting for you here holding cherry blossom in my hands. Xie Bian. Not only an excellent swordsman, but also a terrifying one. Let him through. You have escorted Waner home? I didn’t remember there was pavilion here before. It was just built. Be careful!
It has no foundation, and will be tore down after drinks. You had it built for drinking? I was waiting for you here. You can’t expect me to sit in the middle of the street. So I had this built. Why are you looking at me like this? As a prince, I’d be remiss
If I don’t live extravagantly. That sounds very reasonable. Here’s to you. Great wine. Is it really that great? With a view like this, everything tastes great. When will you leave? In a couple of days. By the time you return, you will have built quite a reputation.
It’ll be around the time when the imperial examination take place. I will ask his majesty for an edict that assigns you as one of the examiners. I don’t have much of scholarly honour myself. As a poetic genius as you are, you have enough. Once you hosted the imperial examination in spring,
You’ll be the mentor to the candidates of the year. The merit it has, it’s beyond expression. You’ll know when you get there. I’m just wondering, such a great opportunity, how come your highness chose me for it? I like you, and we’re drinking buddies. Even if you choose the crown prince in the end,
It won’t prevent us from being friends. Your highness is magnanimous. The world is full of mediocre people, finding someone you can actually talk to is extremely difficult. I’ve read your poems. Our capital is crowded with dignitaries, while you are languishing in loneliness. It felt honest and powerful.
There are several roads lead to the north, the guardian of outpost Fengming is my associate. I’ll have him escort you if you take that road. Thank you, your highness. But I don’t suppose we’ll choose the way passed Fengming, that way is was too far. Well, that’s that.
We had our drinks, said our goodbyes. We had fun today. I’ll see you when you return. See you. You’re leaving today, no matter which road you’re taking, don’t tell anyone, keep the decision to yourself. Understood. Mr. Fei, looks like you have outdone yourself again. I made it very recently.
Smash it when things get heated. It’s not lethal, it won’t even hurt people physically. However, even a master will pass out because of this. Thanks you, teacher. You’re welcome. Just remember to tread carefully. Chinese TV Series Exclusive YouTube
