Novoland: The Castle In the Sky (Jiu Zhou /Tian Kong Cheng /九州·天空城)

Novoland : The Castle In The Sky

Episode 10 -

Are you admitting defeat?

I never thought that Jishu would admit defeat either.

Why? Are you afraid that I will seize your daughter?

Eighteen years ago when you abandoned me, how come you never thought of this?

Eighteen years ago, how come you never thought of today?!

The matter that happened 18 years ago, why can't you let it go?

Besides, you already married General Cen's son.

You call that being married?!

Actually, I never wanted to be queen.

It was you who pushed me step-by-step toward the throne.

I needed to use General Cen's power to get that throne.

Did you know, every time that man tried getting close to me, how disgusted I felt?

So it was really you who killed him, right?

I don't need you to be concerned about my business!

Right now, with this precious face of yours, I just wish that

you'll watch me, step-by-step, get up from that place where I fell down.

Just watch how I take over the Lan continent!

Never again is anyone going to abandon me!

Not ever again!

Princess?! Greetings, Princess!

Greetings, Princess! - Greetings, Princess!

You never saw the Princess here, understand?

Princess, over at Master's house...

To the Master, even the most loyal of people,

once they're dead, they become useless.

Xuezhong understands. Don't worry, Princess.

My Lord,

please restrain your grief. - Thank you for bringing him back here.

My Lord, Ruofei's body was sent by Princess Feishuang.

It was probably because Princess went against you a few days ago, so she felt bad about it.

You knew it very clearly.

No matter what,

we still got to see Ruofei one last time.

Princess Feishuang still treats my Lord quite well.

I don't want to hear about that today.

What is actually going on?

Your Majesty, this is the Yu family's retainer, Mister Qiuting.

Mister Qiu's character and medical knowledge are worthy of credibility.

He's already examined Ruofei's body.

What has Mister Qiu discovered?

In response to Your Majesty, on the surface, it appears that Master Du was fatally wounded by way of bow and arrow,

But actually, the lethal method was really the poison on the arrowhead. It's called the Walking on Snow to View the Flower Plum.

That's why after death, he bled from the seven orifices in his head.

Walking on Snow to View the Flower Plum? What kind of poison is this?

This Walking on Snow to View the Flower Plum does not pertain to walking on real snow.

Plum refers to 'blood' as in fresh blood. As soon as the victim bleeds, (Homonyms of "xue" meaning 'snow' and 'blood')

the poison immediately seeps deep into the body and the internal organs, and becomes incurable.

Such a powerful poison actually exists? How come I've never heard of it?

It's because the poison is so dangerous, that you could accidentally poison yourself and lose your life.

That's why ten years ago, the former emperor ordered it to be banished.

Since the poison has resurfaced,

the only possibility is...

Is what?

This... - No matter what happens,

you have the protection of the Wingkind Emperor.

Responding to Your Majesty, the ones who researched and created the Walking on Snow to View the Flower Plum was the Xue Family.

Xuelin...

Your Majesty! I didn't say anything, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! I'll go right now and seize this usurper!

I'll avenge Ruofei!

Stop! If you go straight for Xuelin, do you think he'd confess?

We must avenge Ruofei's death.

But to go against an extreme person, we need to use an extreme plan.

Imperial Guard Bei, we haven't seen much of His Imperial Highness lately

and I don't know what His Imperial Highness could be busy with.

His Imperial Highness was in such a good mood, he currently went out hunting.

Hunting?

He is apparently hunting a hawk.

Lord Xue, His Majesty is in ill health today,

and asks that you come to Qiyang Palace to attend him.

Attend to him?

Is Lord Xue not willing to go?

Feng Tianyi, what tricks are you up to?

Looking at Your Majesty, you don't seem to be very sick.

Appearing before the Wingkind Emperor, how come you're not kneeling?

After going on a campaign, my legs now have disabilities so

I can't kneel.

Xuelin, do you even have half an ounce of the manners needed between master and servant in your heart?

Calm down, Your Majesty. I came, this time, to attend to His Majesty.

Do you know what illness I have?

If I didn't guess wrong, the attempted assassination against Your Majesty on the way back to South Yudu City and

along with the recent death of Du Ruofei, that it's probably a heart ailment.

You're wrong. You, thorny traitor against a monarch, are my heart ailment!

Guards!

Boy, I have been in battlefields half my life.

What situation haven't I seen?

This battle formation right now might not be taken seriously by me.

Minister Xue's position is high and your power is great. You killed Du Ruofei.

The usual means wouldn't be able to deal with you.

I thought about it over and over and realized that only today, here at my Qiyang Palace,

can my words be final.

A dead person can never talk.

When that time comes, whatever crime I accuse you of

will be your crime.

But Your Majesty, don't forget.

I am an important subject of South Yudu City.

A lot of people saw me enter Qiyang Palace, standing upright.

But then, they see me leaving lying down.

May I ask Your Majesty how you plan to shut the mouth of these people?

By that time, everyone in the court will feel that they are also in danger.

Then the Regent will be able to replace Your Majesty so easily.

So then, I'll just stand here today and wait for all of you to kill me!

You!

You're being very arrogant today.

Even if I can't kill you now,

you think you will have a good ending in the future?

I'm standing here today to tell you

that Du Ruofei was indeed killed by me.

If he hadn't interfered, the one who would have died would have been you!

Even though I admit to all of this, what can you do to me?

It's just you... against me!

Wait!

Minister Xue... I've waited for these words of yours for so long already.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

You four are the most respected people here in South Yudu City.

Earlier, Minister Xue personally admitted that he tried to assassinate me and killed Du Ruofei.

Did you all hear it clearly?

We all heard it very well. - We all heard it very well.

Good. Imprison Minister Xue now and inform Regent about the execution order.

Yes! - Yes!

Feng Tianyi, you dare to frame me?!

Minister Xue, you're kidding me. You've been on a battle horse half your life. What kind of situation haven't you seen in your life?

How can this small trick of mine be able to frame you?

Drag him out!

I thought that you'd not come anymore.

You... how come you look so much like him?

Look like who?

Master Jishu. I saw a painting of him in Stars Court.

You can't be... There's no way. No way.

If he was still alive, he wouldn't be your age.

And he's so capable. How could he be locked up in here?

But because you look a lot like him, I will definitely help you unlock these.

Can you unlock it?

Don't belittle me. Since the last time I left here,

I kept trying to recall the solution to the Lovers' Restraint as written in the "Abyss of the Sea and Sky".

In the end, I remembered it all.

Good thing that you didn't hear anything.

Hear what?

It worked!

The second door, meeting again.

Third door, falling in love.

Fourth door, pledging of love.

Fif-- - Fifth door, oath.

Staying together.

Splitting. Fork in the Road. Reunion.

I know it already. Have you also read the "Abyss of the Sea and Sky"?

You must have been caught illegally reading the book and that's why you were locked up here.

Weird. How come I seem to have forgotten the tenth door?

It's not that you've forgotten it. It was never written in the book, to begin with.

The pestering of love will only stop with death.

The life door is also the death door. The death door is also the life door.

Don't try to pull out the thorn in the back of my neck;

rather, push it towards me and then try turning it counterclockwise.

That I must not do. You will die if I do that.

Hurry up. If she comes back later, the both of us will die.

But...

Hurry!

The Lovers' Restraint was invented by Master Jishu.

How come you know all about it?

What do you think?

Could there still be a second Jishu in this world?

You... I-I... I...

Hurry and go now. They'll already be coming here later.

But if we go out through here, we will still be in prison.

Can a normal prison keep me locked in?

Elder! Wait for me!

Customer, we're already closed.

Give me one more pot.

Pay first for the wine you drank.

When did I, the Crown Prince of Shuang City, ever owe anyone money?

Boss! He claims he's the Crown Prince of Shuang City.

Shuang City has no more Crown Prince already.

Bai Tingjun has already been driven out of the city by Her Majesty, the Queen.

Boss, could it be really him?

There can't be that much coincidence, right?

Hey, do you have money or not?

Ling'er...

Ling'er... - Men! Catch him! - Don't go.

I'm going to go find Ling'er.

Beat him!

Yes!

Beat him! Beat him to death!

Stop!

Stop! Get away!

Young Master...

Get up.

What are you guys doing?

He ate, drank, and didn't pay money. He was trying to escape!

Here's the payment then! Let's go.

"Shadows will rise from the extinguished light, tears will melt the cinnabar.

The Flying Flower returns to earth, on the string of Heaven."

What does that mean?

Only by understanding these phrases

can I protect Ling'er.

But I've been thinking about it hard for so many days and I can't make any headway.

Shadows will rise from the extinguished light...

How can there be shadows when the light has already been extinguished?
