Song of Phoenix

Episode 24

Every day I thought of expressing my heartfelt sentiments, but my thoughts just got pent up and became hard to express. - Thinking of a Beauty, from Nine Chapters by Qu Yuan

My Lady, no matter what, you cannot let him come in! You must keep an eye on him.

All his efforts are on that Mo Chou!

My Lady! Didn't I tell you not to let him in?

If you spoil him now, you can't ever have the upper hand again!

My Lady!

Miss Bixia, about what happened today-

There's no need to talk about it. My father is okay.

We shouldn't have been together to start with.

Right now, come with me.

To where? -To look for my father.

At the moment, the only one that can save Miss Mo Chou is my father.

Let's go.

My Lady! My Lady! You cannot go!

Caiwei!

My Lady! My Master was hurt by that fisherman's daughter!

It's already going easy on her to not kill her right then and there!

And you still want Master Zhao to save her?

This started because of me.

I hope I can end it.

My Lady!

There's no need to say anything else.

Miss Bixia.

Let me tell you! My Lady is helping you save that fisherman's daughter

because she has a good heart, unlike that fisherman's daughter!

But you must guarantee you'll never see her again!

You can only love My Lady for life!

Caiwei! You're not allowed to speak nonsense!

No! He must guarantee it!

This...

Miss Bixia, I promise.

As long as I can save Mo Chou, from now on,

from now on I'll definitely... - Stop!

Let's hurry and go. It's more important to save her.

I never imagined that Miss Bixia would be such an understanding girl.

Yes.

Sigh. Thinking that I have always lived in an open and straightforward manner.

I never imagined that someone

would want to take my life.

Could Jing Po have sent her?

Even if Jing Po was more foolish, he wouldn't send an assassin in broad daylight.

Then who could it be? They dared to attack you?

Don't know what's the status now with Chen Zhen on this case.

Now that you mention it, that assassin today,

I feel like she looks familiar.

Who?

I can't remember. I'm old.

Master, Madam, My Lady and her husband have come. They say there's something important.

They came over so late?

It couldn't be that something happened to Xia'er?

Let's go take a look.

Xia'er.

What is the emergency that you ran over on your wedding night?

Father, I'm begging you, save Miss Mo Chou.

Miss Mo Chou?

It's...it's

the girl who attacked you today.

You came over so late just to ask for mercy for that assassin?

I'm already this injured.

Yet you two still speak on their behalf?

Lord Zhao.

Lord Zhao?

Father, please fulfill my wish!

Xia'er. Go help your mother back to rest first.

I have something to say to Qu Yuan.

Father!

Xia'er!

Let's go.

Alright, let's hear it.

Father, do you still remember the Great Shaman of Chu?

The Great Shaman of Chu?

Precisely.

That was many years ago.

That time, because the Grand Shaman of Chu angered the previous King,

she brought a fatal disaster onto herself.

After she died, the Chu country suffered great drought for three years.

The two things aren't entirely related,

but the State of Chu never named another Great Shaman.

You were still young then.

How did you find out about that?

Was it really you who killed the Great Shaman on royal order?

Correct. It was the King's order, so I had no choice.

This has always been a knot in my heart.

After the Great Shaman died, her husband

took their children and escaped.

Until today, their whereabouts are unknown.

However, this Mo Chou and the Great Shaman of Chu,

what relationship do they have?

Mo Chou is the Great Shaman of Chu's daughter.

Then...this Mo Chou

came to get revenge against me?

Father, for the sake that Mo Chou is still and has suffered such misfortune

and had to suffer the pain of losing her mother, please forgive her

recklessness and spare her life.

What nonsense!

If a crime like attempting to assassinate me in broad daylight gets pardoned,

won't the world be in chaos?

Besides, what does this have to do with you?

What relationship do Mo Chou and Qu Yuan have?

She...is a Quan County citizen.

Qu Yuan would come late at night to beg your father for a citizen?

She's Qu Yuan's old lover?

Just what is this?

In this world, who comes to beg on behalf of their husband's old lover?

Mother, if not for me,

the bride tonight should have been her.

So what? Now Qu Yuan's legally-married wife is you!

Qu Yuan and I should have never been together.

You-!

What am I supposed to say to you?

What are you telling me? You went as far as having a private agreement with her?

Preposterous, preposterous!

On the wedding night, a former lover of the groom coming to murder the bride's father?

And the groom then takes the bride,

and together they ask the bride's father to release his ex-lover, the assassin!

How in the world does that make sense?

If I may be disrespectful, when I reached the private agreement with her,

Zhao Bi Xia was not yet set to be my wife.

Huh! Are you saying that

Bi Xia is harming your well-being? That our family is holding you back?

I would not dare, it's just that Father-in-Law Zhao is already all-pervasive.

Shameless!

This girl has publicly tried to take my ilfe

No matter if it's according to Chu Law or for Bixia,

I definitely cannot spare her!

For Bixia?

Father-in-Law Zhao, if you can let Mo Chou go,

I am willing to have no more ties with her for life.

I will be loyal to Bixia for life.

From now on, I will never see her again.

Can I believe you?

Also,

I am willing to pay back the cut that Mo Chou gave you!

You-!

What are you doing?

Men! Hurry and call for a doctor!

Why were you so foolish?

What are you standing there for? Hurry and go!

Yes! -There's no need!

Father-in-Law Zhao, if you won't let go of Mo Chou,

I'd rather lose every drop of blood!

You-!

Hurry and call for a doctor!

Yes!

A fisherman's daughter

is worth you acting like this?

Just what is all this?

Father! I'm begging you!

Let Miss Mo Chou go! Please!

Xia'er! Hurry and get up!

Husband! Just agree to these two children! - I..!

Even if I agree to let that Mo Chou go,

but would she let go of me?

Father-in-Law Zhao, as long as you let Miss Mo Chou go, I swear,

Miss Mo Chou will never harm any member of the Zhao family again!

What are you using to guarantee that?

My life!

This person actually attempted to assassinate Minister Zhao...

So it's this girl...

Mo Chou, you openly attacked a court official. That is a crime that cannot be spared.

According to Chu Law, you are to be shot through the heart and killed!

The hour has come!

Wait!

Please wait.

General Qu, I'm carrying out an execution. Please move aside!

Say, why are you in a hurry? My Little Brother Yuan said that he would try this case by himself.

He hadn't finished interrogating her last night.

The assassin already admitted to the crime. The facts are all here. No need to try this case anymore.

This...

The order tablet hasn't fallen to the ground yet...

...so you cannot carry out the execution!

General Qu, just what do you want?

Nothing much. The weather isn't bad today. It's not suitable for an execution.

General Qu! You keep stopping me like this. Are you in cahoots with the assassin?

Father, I'll repay the favor for you raising me in the next life.

Begin the execution!

Don't even think about it!

Little Brother Yuan!

Young Mistress being muddled is bad enough. Never thought that Master would also become muddled like you.

He really saved that fisherman's daughter!

Stop calling her a fisherman's daughter. She has a name.

Okay okay, she has a name. Miss Mo Chou.

Hopefully she won't become Madam Qu in the future.

If she becomes Madam Qu, perhaps that is a good thing.

My Lady, what are you thinking?

Master is crazy. Qu Yuan has also gone crazy. You have directly become an idiot.

Everyone thinks that they made the right choice.

Adding them all together, was it the right choice or the wrong one?

I'm afraid only the heavens know that.

There are a lot of things where we don't have a choice.

Don't have a choice? I think Lord Qu follows his heart a lot.

If he really followed his heart, would yesterday's wedding have occurred?

Thank you for saving me. Also, stop following me.

Mo Chou! I...

Oh, right. County Magistrate has just got married.

I haven't congratulated you yet. Congratulations.
