Episode 11
Wonderful times are hard to come by; I’ll just leisurely and relaxingly linger and wander for the mean time! - Lady of the Xiang in the book Nine Songs.
Is anyone home?
Where is your teacher?
-Teacher is in retreat, he will not see any guests.-Please, let me see him.
This is an emergency! Quan County's magistrate, Qu Yuan, is in a coma.
If this keeps going on, he'll die.
Life and death are set by fate, how could I care about so much?
Sir! Please save Qu Yuan!
Please come save Qu Yuan!
How is it?
How fortunate!
Bi Xia and Qu Yuan's birthdays are a perfect match!
This union is set by the heavens!
This is wonderful. We finally found a good husband for Bi Xia.
This way, the marriage between
the Qu and Zhao families will be set.
It's just Bi Xia she...
Once the marriage is set, she has no choice.
What are you doing? Quickly go and refuse the marriage.
We've already given the Zhao family the fake birthday.
According to the fake birthday, they truly are a perfect pair.
Look. You should have told them Yuan'er's real birthday!
Can I say that?
If the king found out, we'd be guilty of lying to the king!
Isn't it just a birthday?
Don't you understand how serious that is?
This won't do, and that won't do either. What do you say we should do?
What else can we do?
This marriage is a done deal.
How about this? Have You'er bring Yuan'er back from Quan County.
Go on!
Miss, you've knelt here for a long time already.
Go back, it's useless.
My teacher won't see you.
Tong'er.
Teacher.
Let her come in.
Yes. Please.
Sir! Quan County's magistrate Qu Yuan is in a coma!
Please save him!
Qu Yuan has been poisoned.
Right now the poison is affecting his heart's energy.
There's nothing I can do either. You should go back.
Sir, I haven't even told you anything. How do you know?
To achieve great aspirations, one must experience great hardship.
Qu Yuan was not born to be ordinary, it's about time for such hardships.
Since he is not born to be ordinary, then Sir, please save him.
To save a dragon amongst the people, one must be a phoenix in the clouds.
It's a pity, the phoenix in the clouds is not me.
Then who is it?
What will come will arrive, and what needs to go will go.
Drifting from place to place, where can one find a trace?
-Tong'er.-I'm here.
-See the guest out.-Please.
Miss Mo Chou!
How is he doing?
It's already the third day.
Until the last moment, there's still hope.
Sir! Go back and rest first.
I can take care of him alone.
Qing'er, you should go back too.
Alright.
Hu Ji, even Magistrate Qu
is in a coma now.
This is all fate.
They said it would be 3 days.
It's been three days. Even one less hour won't count.
Wake up! Okay?
You still haven't done what you promised yet!
You can't leave!
You said that you wanted to save Yi'er.
You wanted to save everyone here.
You also said you wanted to change the entire Quan County.
You were going to make everyone live happily!
You haven't done any of that yet, how could you leave?
You can't go back on your word like this!
Qu Yuan! Open your eyes!
Open your eyes, look at me!
Look at me!
I want you to open your eyes to look at me!
What will make you wake up?
I'll recite poems for you, okay?
I'll recite your favorite poems, okay?
Seems there's someone in the mountain cove,
Wearing climbing vines bounded by moss
Soft gaze exuding tenderness with an enchanting smile,
You would admire her grace and elegance.T/N: extract from poem "Mountain Spirit"
You're too similar!
Miss, you look so much like a girl from my dream!
Shallow and frivolous, shameless beyond measure.
I, Qu Yuan, swear right here.
I will definitely become Quan County's magistrate.
I'll make the entire county's people live happily.
♫ The whole world are drunk, one's whole life just follows the blue water ♫
Miss Mo Chou! Miss Mo Chou!
♫ I'll drive and go away for an adventure, flying as I want to in the nine skies ♫
What are you doing?
-Where is your Magistrate Qu? Little Brother!-Sir!
-Where are you?-You cannot just walk into the magistrate's office!
I've come to see my little brother. What are you stopping me for?
Move aside, or I might hit you with the wooden board
-Move aside!-Qu You! Why have you come?
Where is my little brother?
You are...the Young General?
Yes.
Little Brother! Little Brother!
Hurry and take me to see him.
Young General, Magistrate Qu he...he...
What's wrong with him?
What time is it now? You're still such a nag! He's been poisoned!
Poisoned?!
Little Brother!
Little Brother, wake up!
Little Brother, what's wrong? Little Brother!
Wake up, Little Brother!
Just who was it? Who harmed my little brother?
What nonsense are you saying? Who poisoned him?
To save Yi'er,
to save everyone here,
he tried the medicine himself, and was poisoned.
It was our fault.
Then what did the doctor say?
It'll be okay if Magistrate Qu wakes up in three days.
If he doesn't wake up, I'm afraid...
Hurry and say it!
I'm afraid he'll never wake up again.
Which day is it today?
The third day.
Ask the doctor to come again! Hurry and go ask!
I've already sent someone to ask.
The doctor is here! The doctor is here!
Doctor, how is he doing?
Magistrate Qu he...
He's dead.
What did you say?
No matter what it takes, hurry and cure my little brother!
Hurry and find a way to cure my little brother!
General, please spare me!
I've done all I can!
Get lost. Get lost!
Thank you, General!
Magistrate Qu!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Qu Yuan! Qu Yuan!
I'm sorry!
Big Sister!
Go outside.
I won't go. I won't go!
All of you get out!!
Get out!!
I won't leave!
-Big Sister. Big Sister!-No! No!-Get lost!
I won't leave!
How could this be...
How could this be??
What are you doing?
Open the door. Open the door!
Miss Qing'er, we are doing this for Miss Mo Chou's good.
Miss Mo Chou, don't worry. After we bury Magistrate Qu,
we will definitely let you out.
He's not dead. He's not dead!
Do you hear me? He won't die!
Open the door, Qing'er! Open the door!
This is probably...your fate with Mr. Qu.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe it!
No! No! It's not my fault!
Don't, don't, don't, don't come over here!
-Don't come over here!-Master!
What are you doing?
Master, are you okay? I thought I heard you asking for me from outside.
Who called for you?
It's the middle of the night, are you going to let me sleep?
-I deserve death!-Get lost!
C-c-c-c-c-come back!
Master.
Tonight, sleep with me.
Huh? I...
W-w-w-w-what are you doing?!
Didn't you tell me to sleep with you?
Sleep on the ground!
How dare you.
It is such a nice night
S-s-sleep. Sleep.
I'll sleep, sleep.
The entire family wouldn't let you come at first.
But you insisted on coming.
If I knew this would happen,
I should have locked you in Yingdu.
Even if you hated me.
This is all because I didn't stop you.
But you too. All alone,
why are you trying to be a hero alone?
You've become like this. How am I suppose to tell our family?
I'm so pathetic. I wasted my time learning skills but
I couldn't even save my own little brother.
Her. If it wasn't for her,
you wouldn't have come to this despicable Quan County!
Nor would you have caught the epidemic!
I'll go get revenge on her!
Open the door!
What are you going to do?
My Yuan brother was hurt by this lady. I want her to pay with her life.
What are you going crazy for?
If you don't open the door, I'll kill you too!
Qing'er, open the door!
I can't open the door. Even if I could,
I wouldn't let you do as you wish!
Qu Yong, what exactly do you want to do? Qu Xian was thinking only of the peasants.
He was poisoned this time trying to save everyone!
What does this have to do with Big Sister Mo Chou?
If not for her, my little brother wouldn't have come here.
You're right. I'm the one at fault.
Kill. Kill me!
-General Qu!-Move aside!
General Qu, Miss Mo Chou has been by Magistrate Qu's side all this time!
She's been with him day and night. Even I've been moved.
You are so kind towards your brother, yet you intend to treat others so heartlessly?
Besides, Magistrate Qu has deep affections for Miss Mo Chou.
If you kill her now, Magistrate Qu won't die peacefully!
Just let her stay with my brother one more night.
I think it will make him happy.
He's right. It's my fault.
It's my fault!

Little brother!
Big Brother.
You're awake? You're really okay now?
Of course I'm okay. That's right, how long have I slept for?
Three days and nights. We all thought you...
You thought I was going to die, right?
If you still didn't wake up, it wouldn't be just this. We were going to bury you.
Then I can't waste your efforts. I'll go sleep some more.
What time is it now? You still have the mood to joke?
That's more like Qu Yuan. You're really okay now.
Of course. I don't die that easily.
All the Qu family members have nine lives.
If something had really happened, I would have turned this village inside out.
How could I let myself die so easily, with a big brother like you?
Hey! This time, you don't have to kill Big Sister Mo Chou, right?
How could I dare to kill your crush? I was just sending her to your side!
It's all good now. You're not dead, and she doesn't have to go!
Hey, Big Sister! Your face is so red!
Qing'er!
Hurry hurry.
Hurry up!
Hurry up! Hang it higher!
Magistrate Qu is dead! Hurry up and
air it out, or else it will start to stink.
Magistrate Qu
-Give your hand to me -This way
The heavens weren't watching!
Even Magistrate Qu is dead now!
What are we supposed to do?
Stop crying.
-Magistrate Qu even died. Even such a good person like Magistrate Qu
He
died a bit late.
He's a hero that died young, right?
Good people don't live long!
Who says good people don't live long?
Master!
Lord Magistrate!
It's Magistrate Qu!
Are you a human or a ghost?
Is that a human or a ghost?
It's Magistrate Qu!
It's a miracle. It's a miracle!
Magistrate Qu's pulse is back to normal!
The poison in his body is gone!
This is wonderful!
Didn't you say Magistrate Qu was dead last night? What kind of a quack doctor are you?
Magistrate Qu really wasn't breathing last night! In my whole life,
this is the first time I've seen the dead come back to life!
It must be that Magistrate Qu's benevolence for helping the villagers must have moved the Heavens.
We are in luck!
Master!
M-magistrate Qu, your body is so healthy.
You can survive even the epidemic!
Thank you for still thinking of me.
I-it's what I should do.
Go home! Go home to eat!
[Jing Manor]
I really don't understand. That brat Qu Yuan
actually lived on!
In this world, the dead can really come back to life!
Is that brat human or not?
Shut up!
You are so pathetic.
Lord Jing, won't Qu Yuan come after us now that he isn't dead?
That's right! Ever since that Qu Yuan came to our Quan county,even the offerings have stopped.
If this continues, those peasants will be even bolder.
If this goes on, how are we to live?
The offerings have stopped?How come I didn't know?
L-lord Jing, you must have had too much to drink.
You don't know about the offerings being stopped?
Either way, I did not know.
I shall continue to collect my 'offerings'.
He's had too much alcohol!
As for how you all act, I don't know.
With Lord Jing's words, what should we be afraid of?
Y-yes! We're not afraid of anything. It's just,
If we go against him so obviously
Then would Qu Yuan leave us be?
Liu San, at this stage, if you still won't work against him.
Don't even speak about getting "good fruit". You won't even receive the rotten fruits.
Let's do it. Pour the alcohol.
You have given me many ideas while at my Zhao mansion.
You have earned much merit.
Thank you, Master.
I know you like Bi Xia.
Bi Xia likes you too.
But of what use is "being in love with each other"?
You cannot give her what the Qu family can give her.
These years I have treated you well.
If you want to continue staying here,
Then stay far away from my second one.
To make a person disappear without a trace
that will not be a hard thing to do.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Glowing rosy dawn, tattered evening clouds.
Dawn drowsiness in place of errors, on what can clouds rely?
Collecting rosy clouds by dawn, return in the evening plucking clouds.
Deep in my heart, the clouds and sun light are both aglow in radiance.
My lady, what a good poem!
There's "Yun" and "Xia" which are a good match!T/N: Xia - colourful clouds at dawn and dusk
Hush! Little girl, what do you understand?
Cang Yun!
Cang Yun! I wrote a new poem!
My lady, what's wrong with Mr. Cang Yun?
-Put that over there.-Okay.
-Take this away.-Okay.
Hey! Move aside, move aside.
Hey! Who told you to come over here?
Aren't you supposed to be resting and recuperating? What did you come here for?
And you two! Why didn't you stop him?
I-!
They don't know how to make the medicine or how much to add!
Eh, just put it here for now.
They can't do it without you?
Naturally!
Give this to me!
Mo Chou, I'm really okay now!
Last time it was because we added to much huixianthat's why I got poisoned and fell into a coma.
It'll definitely be okay this time. You don't have to worry about me anymore.
Who's worried about you? Don't worry. Zhu Er, Yang Jiao, and I
will finish making this medicine quickly and let everyone drink it.
Mo Chou, thank you.
What is it?
You
You...your face...
Oh? This...
Actually, I should be the one thanking you.
Thank me?
You were the one that gave everyone the hope to live on.
I am the magistrate of Quan County. It's what I should do.
Um...also...
What is it?
Stuttering and stumbling isn't your style.
I want to apologize.
Oh? Why do you say that?
While you were unconscious,
I really saw that mountain spirit painting in your room.
So there really are mountain spirits in this world?
All this time, I thought you were trying to seduce me.
Actually, you were the one seducing me in my dreams.
We barely spoke a few sentences and you're being emotional.
The lady in front of me, appeared to me in my dreams.
If it was anything else, they'd find it hard to believe. How could I blame you?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Perhaps...this is our fate.
Who wants to have fate with you?
Lord Magistrate! Here! Here!
W-w-w-what is it?
The medicine is done!
Oh! Um, hurry and split it among everyone.
Yes!
Brother Yun, it's me, Bi Xia!
Brother Yun!
I...I don't feel very well. I can't see anyone.
He doesn't feel well? What's wrong?
It's nothing, just a little cold. Go back.
What's wrong? Why won't you open the door?
Did Father say something to you again?
How is your body doing?
It's nothing.
Just what is wrong?
It's because of Qu Yuan again?
Do you still not understand? I don't want to marry Qu Yuan!
I only want to be you in this lifetime!
But I...don't like you.
