An Oriental Odyssey (The Magical Nights of Glorious Tang / Sheng Tang Huan Ye / 盛唐幻夜)

I think so.

Where is Miss?

Dad.

I'm sleeping. Why do you wake me up?

You are so impolite.

Sir Zhao brings the present Empress has granted.

You should thank him.

Mr. Zhao, I have other business to do. You may talk first.

Please excuse me for a while.

This is the dendrobium from the imperial garden.

Do you like it?

Thank you, Empress.

By the way,

I heard from my dad that Empress praised you in front of all officials.

And you have been promoted.

You were so amazing!

Are you serious?

Why not?

Even if we are acquaintances,

I certainly hope you will have a promising future.

We have experienced so many things together.

How can we just are acquaintances?

Is that not enough?

I have regretted knowing you.

How's Mu Le?

He's dead. I buried him.

Do you still hate me on Mu Le's death?

Are you resenting me so much?

Zhao Lanzhi, what did you say at that time?

I told you to capture him alive.

But you should attack him secretly.

How many times did I explain to you?

I didn't do that.

Why don't you believe me?

Yuan'an.

You're brave and like to take risks.

You're an interesting girl.

But I'd like to remind you

you must do things in a proper way.

Then, tell me.

Who is the man you sent for?

I mean the one treated my disease.

I have told you many times. He's a quack doctor.

But Master Ye told me that he's a distant relative.

Who lied to me?

You can answer my question later.

You look pale.

Go and have a good rest.

Remember what I said today.

You can play tricks.

But you can never disregard the law.

What is the law?

You are just the law, Sir Zhao.

Deputy Minister of Court of Judicature and Revision.

You're now a dignitary before Empress.

Listen, Zhao Lanzhi. I hate you very much now.

You just care about reasoning, not about feelings.

Now that you're so indifferent,

then we never see each other again after your leaving this gate.

Sir, please.

These are the materials and testimonies of the massacre at Ci'en Temple

and order for arrest signed by Emperor.

Sir.

This was the criminal Chen Tianshu's portrait.

OK, I knew it.

When I was in Annam, I got a tip-off.

I traced him.

But he escaped successfully.

Later, I came to the Court and I was busy then.

Without any clues, this case was laid up.

Do you have any new clues about this case?

This was a major case then.

But it has been a long time since the case happened.

So no one would investigate it.

If you can solve the case, that will a merit deed.

[I have already doubted that there was someone helping you secretly.]

No way.

Now that I saw him,

I can't let you get away.

Chen Tianshu.

I must arrest you!

Yuan'an!

Yuan'an, tell me.

Who is the person you invited to our mansion?

Now, Zhao Lanzhi works at Court of Judicature and Revision.

He's specialized in unsolved cases.

He asked me about Chen Tianshu today without reasons,

Did Zhao Lanzhi make you scared?

He just asked you a question.

You're Minister of Finance. Your position is higher than him.

Why are you so worried?

Nonsense.

I think this person is strange.

What's his name?

Where does he come from?

Dad. After he came out of the basement,

he saved my life and also gave you some advice.

He helped our family so much.

Why do you keep asking since we live in peace with each other?

Does it make sense if I tell you his name?

Li Shimin, is that OK?

You are so fussy.

You can't mention late Emperor's name at your will.

Are you kidding?

Do you want to be beheaded?

I don't know who he is.

But I know he is powerful than us.

No.

I can't keep him here.

Listen!

You send him away now!

I can't get rid of him as soon as he has done his job.

You must do it!

It hurts.

It hurts.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Are you all right? Your Majesty.

You idiots!

Tell me, what did Your Majesty eat?

Why did Emperor have a headache again within the few days?

Send for the imperial doctor.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Mei Niang.

Don't blame them.

I had a nightmare just now.

Give me the elixir State Preceptor gave me before.

I would be better if I take the elixir.

Fetch the elixir quickly!

It really hurts!

Empress, the elixir has been disposed according to your order.

Send for State Preceptor.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your majesty hasn't had a headache for a long time.

Why did your headache recur suddenly?

State Preceptor.

To tell the truth,

I had a nightmare just now.

I think Your Majesty is always busy with state affairs.

It was caused by tension.

It was not that serious.

But I think the dream is so strange.

I think there is another story behind it.

State Preceptor, if you see through something, please say it directly.

State Preceptor, this is related to Your Majesty's health,

please feel free to speak your mind.

19 years ago, Master San Zang died.

Junior fellow Tianshu killed his fellows and committed crime of massacre.

Does Empress still remember this?

Yes, of course.

In that tragic massacre,

you protected Master San Zang's body.

Tianshu was listed as a wanted criminal by Your Majesty.

But he hasn't been arrested till today.

19 years have passed since that massacre happened.

What do you mean?

I mean Your Majesty's pain can just be eased temporarily.

That case hasn't been solved.

So there is still resentment.

The dream just reminds Your Majesty that Tianshu must be arrested

to comfort the dead.

Otherwise, Your Majesty's disease...

I see. That case must be solved.

Arrest Tianshu.

Your Majesty.

19 years have passed.

We didn't know whether he is still alive.

How can we arrest him as soon as possible?

State Preceptor, what's your opinion?

Your Majesty.

I have profound feud with Tianshu.

I have never forgotten that over the years.
