Heaven Official's Blessing (2020) s02e10 Episode Script

Bloodstained Banquet

1
Hurry up.
The guests will be arriving soon.
- Yes.
- Yes.
It has been a while.
How could I miss
the Crown Prince's 17th birthday banquet?
Absolutely.
We're all here!
Isn't he
Why is this Xianle troublemaker
still here?
He always shows up uninvited
to Yong'an family feasts.
Seriously.
If it weren't for the grace
from His Majesties,
I wonder where this guy had long died.
What are you muttering about?
Why don't you share it with me too?
Aunt.
I didn't say anything.
I'll go inside first.
He can't say it when I ask him to,
but he's always bad-mouthing others.
He knows he's talking nonsense
and embarrassing himself.
Your Majesty.
Anle,
you've worked hard for this Golden Feast.
It's not that hard.
I'm just doing my duty.
Let's go, Anle.
Let's head inside.
Well,
isn't His Highness here?
Qianqiu has been acting mysteriously
since this morning.
We couldn't find him for half the day.
I bet
he's planning another surprise for you.
Look at this child.
Who gives other people gifts
on their birthday?
Hasn't it always been like this
in previous years?
Qianqiu is so filial,
thanks to the guidance
of the Imperial Preceptor.
Forget it.
Just let him be.
But it's still His Highness'
birthday banquet.
But we can't leave you outside
to wait for Qianqiu.
That's not right.
Yes.
Let's go inside first.
We're missing one.
Endure it for a moment.
Anle?
Coming.
It's chilly at night.
Look.
Your face is turning blue.
Have a drink later to warm up.
All right.

TAO TE CHING
Your Highness.
Your Highness.
Imperial Preceptor.
Is His Highness here?
I'll look for him somewhere else.
Imperial Preceptor.
You're back?
Yes.
Qianqiu
has troubled you again.
There's never a day
without official documents to go through.
By the way,
I heard that you're not attending
the Golden Feast.
Why is that?
Imperial Preceptor?
I promised
to govern diligently and thriftily.
I meant every word.
But the Golden Feast
I understand.
Your Majesty intends
to use the royal family feast
to boost the gold workshops' business.
How did you
While accompanying
His Highness outside today,
I accidentally wandered into Xianle Lane
and learned about it.
His Highness also encountered
many Xianle citizens for the first time
and quite liked it.
Is
Is that so?
That's good.
Nowadays, people in the imperial city
have been living happily
and the situation of Xianle citizens
has greatly improved.
The animosity
between Yong'an and Xianle clans
is no longer as strong as before.
It's because Your Majesty set an example
of sincerity and mutual respect.
So the people followed suit and changed.
You're being too kind.
I may have withstood
the pressure from officials
and royal relatives these past five years,
but in here,
I've never agreed
with the words of my ancestors.
Still, whenever I hear the word "Xianle",
I feel uneasy
and restless.
Can the prejudice and hostility
passed down through generations
of the royal family
ever be eradicated completely?
Looking into my heart,
if Qianqiu were harmed
by Xianle citizens today,
I
Imperial Preceptor,
I'm just an ordinary person after all.
Your Majesty
However,
Qianqiu can be different.
Mother,
do you know what I discovered today?
- He grew up with Anle.
- Xianle people can sing,
dance, and do art.
- It's fascinating. I love it.
- To Qianqiu,
- Anle, let's go together next time.
- Xianle people
- All right, Qianqiu.
- are not cruel tyrants and villains
- as said by the previous generations.
- Mother.
-They are dear companions,
-Leave Anle alone.
- like brothers and close friends.
- Anle is busy, all right?
- I'm not busy.
- Only this way,
- I'm just meeting someone at home later.
- can past grudges
- be truly broken in our generation.
- Don't keep him waiting. Go.
I am getting old.
I can't change many things anymore.
Just having such thoughts
is already the most difficult step.
Imperial Preceptor.
I hope you can come
to Qianqiu's birthday banquet.
Sure.
Where did the His Highness run off to?
Your Highness.
Your Highness!
Your Highness, you hid too well!
I've been looking for you forever!
So did you get it?
Leave your mother's hairpin to me.
Come collect it tomorrow afternoon.
Thank you in advance then.
It has been a while since Mother
got new accessories.
I hope she'll like this one.
She'll definitely like it.
Everyone is probably waiting for you
in the Golden Hall.
Let's go!
Quick! Stay close!
Anle, keep up.
GOLDEN HALL
Why is it
so quiet?
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, hang in there.
I'll go call the imperial physician.
Imperial Preceptor.
I can't survive this.
It was Lord Anle.
I want him to die with me!
I want all Xianle people to die with me!
Your Highness, hurry!
- Coming!
- Qianqiu.
Qianqiu!
I'll kill all the Xianle people!
I'll exterminate every last one of them!
Imperial Preceptor!
- Summon everyone!
- Summon everyone!
"I want to slaughter
all the Xianle people in the nation!
Right now!
Immediately!
I want them to die with me!"
Anle wiped out everyone in front of him.
Could that old fart
let all the Xianle people live?
When your beloved Master thought about it,
how could he let him live?
Naturally, he'd finish him off
to totally disappoint him.
My saintly cousin loves harming others
without benefitting himself.
The result?
He pissed off both sides,
ending up with nothing.
Qi Rong.
- Shut up!
- Why should he shut up?
So what he's saying is the truth?
One killed all my relatives
and the other finished off my father.
All of you have been lying to me!
Don't listen to him.
Who else would we lie to?
If not for an intervention,
you would have been killed
by the Xianle people when you were 12.
How could you have lived to ascend?
Do you mean
those who took me hostage
that year were also
Obviously!
Good.
Very good.
I understand now.
We weren't friends
or brothers.
The Xianle people never cared
about our goodwill.
They only wanted us dead.
That's right!
Yong'an and Xianle had the same origin?
If our generation can resolve the enmity,
the two clans could
Now it seems
like it was all a lie.
You've all been deceiving me!
No, it's not true.
Think about it carefully.
Under your leadership,
haven't things really changed?
Xianle citizens are willing to let go
of their hatred and settle in Yong'an.
Conflicts between the two clans
have decreased over time too.
You've really accomplished it!
But what about my father and mother?
The merging of Yong'an and Xianle
was their greatest wish.
Now that their wish has come true,
how did they end up?
Why is everyone so fond of crying?
Do you want your parents?
I haven't even asked
your ancestors for mine yet!
What's with the title of Lord Anle?
"An" in front, "Le" in the back.
Yong'an dogs just want to step
on Xianle people forever!
Qi Rong,
you better shut up!
You were the mastermind
behind killing my relatives
in the Golden Feast?
That's right.
Me,
Anle,
and your Master,
the three of us Xianle people
all had a hand in it!
It doesn't hurt.
It doesn't hurt at all!
Compared to a hit from my cousin,
you're far inferior!
Your stupid parents weren't capable either
and they even had big dreams.
Embarrassing!
- What is Qianqiu trying to do?
- Yong'an dog, you deserve to be an orphan!
Is this how you usually
devour people using this?
That's right.
What are you going to do about it?
- Qianqiu!
- What's the matter?
The Green Ghost Qi Rong
has eaten so many people.
Can't I let him try
what it's like to be cooked alive?
He's the enemy that eliminated my clan.
- Can't I make him suffer a bit too?
- Congratulations, my cousin!
Your good disciple has become independent!
He knows how to use
cruel tortures now!
Qi Rong.
Crown Prince Cousin!
Crown Prince Cousin!
No one in this world can compare to you!
Disgusting!
To hell with the Crown Prince of Xianle!
Burn him to ashes!
He's not dead.
Do you think this is enough
for your revenge?
At most, you've just destroyed
one of his clones.
If you truly want to eliminate Qi Rong,
you'll have to find his ashes.
Thank you for the reminder.
I'll surely use it to pay respects
to my father and mother.
After that,
I'll come find you to settle things,
Imperial Preceptor.
Qian
Qianqiu.
He just found out the truth.
It's better to let him calm down first.
What's the truth?
Is it very important?
It is.
He needs to understand
what you did,
what you didn't do
- and why you did it.
- What's the use of knowing all that?
Could it be
that if I killed fewer people,
I'd have more reasons to do what I did?
But what bullshit reasons could I have?
Lang Qianqiu's father
wanted to unite the two clans.
Didn't I kill him?
Lord Anle was the last remaining member
of the Xianle royal family.
Didn't I kill him?
I deserve whatever punishment I get.
I can't die anyway.
So why not put all the blame on me?
It was originally my own wrongdoing.
I'm a troublemaker.
Now Lord Anle is involved
and so is Qi Rong.
All the Xianle people are involved!
Isn't it easier to hate just one person
than a whole group?
Do I really have to make him realize
that everything I taught him before
is really a fake,
empty,
worthless
bunch of nonsense?
I'm sorry.
San Lang, I'm sorry.
I think I've gone mad.
I'm sorry.
