Episode 28
4
00:01:03,550 --> 00:01:06,220
Duke Qi of the State was only passing by Prince Yong's manor,
5
00:01:06,220 --> 00:01:09,420
when the door gate suddenly opened and Prince Yong came out to welcome him.
6
00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:12,300
He insisted on pulling him inside for wine and catching up.
7
00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:14,610
The street was covered with people from the Prince's manor.
8
00:01:14,610 --> 00:01:17,080
We really couldn't leave, so without any better option, we had to put on a bold face and go in.
9
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,410
And then?
10
00:01:18,410 --> 00:01:20,710
I was only waiting in the corner.
11
00:01:20,710 --> 00:01:23,660
Once it got dark, someone came to tell me to return to send word
12
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:26,100
that the Duke was a guest at the Prince Yong Manor's feast,
13
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:28,140
he drank too much and was too inconvenienced to move, so he won't come back.
14
00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:30,920
May Princess and Young Lord take care of themselves.
15
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,070
Inside the Imperial fortress, under the feet of the Emperor, (T/N literally outside the palace wall, but inside the fortress wall of the capital where the highest nobles and royal family members live, under the nose of the ruler)
16
00:01:35,070 --> 00:01:37,260
a noble Prince
17
00:01:37,260 --> 00:01:39,580
commits an act of kidnapping?
18
00:01:39,580 --> 00:01:42,140
They are too menacing.
19
00:01:42,140 --> 00:01:44,570
Even if he does become the Emperor,
20
00:01:44,570 --> 00:01:47,950
even the Emperor doesn't dare to menace his subjects like this.
21
00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:49,660
Get my carriage.
- Yes.
22
00:01:49,660 --> 00:01:52,810
Mother, what do you intend to do?
23
00:01:52,810 --> 00:01:55,550
I will go to the palace to meet His Majesty.
24
00:01:55,550 --> 00:01:58,060
Mother, didn't you say the Emperor is gravely ill and unable to hold audience?
25
00:01:58,060 --> 00:02:02,230
Even if I can't see him, I will still find a way to see him.
26
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:04,580
If it really won't work, I will just barge in.
27
00:02:04,580 --> 00:02:07,440
If blame is to be cast, I will shoulder it all myself.
28
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,630
I will come with you.
29
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:15,270
It's cold out, and you're still sick. Just wait for my return.
30
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:20,940
How can I allow you to go alone to rescue my father? If I cannot enter the palace gate,
31
00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:24,790
I will wait for you, Mother, outside the palace.
32
00:02:37,020 --> 00:02:40,450
I have already sent someone to inquire at Prince Yong's.
33
00:02:40,450 --> 00:02:42,130
That Princess Consort Yong,
34
00:02:42,130 --> 00:02:44,450
she is a bit tyrant usually,
35
00:02:44,450 --> 00:02:48,420
but to kidnap a merit noble of the royal court in public?
36
00:02:48,420 --> 00:02:51,500
That's indeed too--
- Your Highness!
37
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,290
How is it?
38
00:02:54,290 --> 00:02:55,630
I already sent someone.
39
00:02:55,630 --> 00:02:57,080
Who did you send?
40
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,890
My foster son. My most trusted aide.
41
00:03:00,890 --> 00:03:04,410
He's usually called by the name of "Xiaosi".
42
00:03:04,410 --> 00:03:10,230
He arrived at the Prince Yong's manor and inquired, and the Princess Consort Yong said Duke Qi did indeed arrive
43
00:03:10,230 --> 00:03:13,580
but before it was dark, he had already left and he wasn't there now.
44
00:03:13,580 --> 00:03:17,330
She's lying! How can he not be at the manor?
45
00:03:17,330 --> 00:03:20,360
My servant isn't blind or dumb!
46
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,630
He can't figure out whose manor the Duke of the State went into?
47
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:24,920
It must be that Princess Consort of Yong is lying.
48
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,180
You didn't have him go in and look around?
49
00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:29,510
Xiaosi offended the Princess Consort,
50
00:03:29,510 --> 00:03:34,910
looked around in detail in the manor, and Duke Qi was indeed not in the manor.
51
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,800
They must have hidden him.
52
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,670
In a Grand Prince's manor, why wouldn't there be a secret chamber or an underground cellar?
53
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,530
Your Highness! I swear to Heaven,
54
00:03:50,530 --> 00:03:54,640
Duke Qi of the State is indeed being held hostage by Prince Yong and remains not yet returned home!
55
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,100
Or else, may Your Highness find Prince Yong and speak face-to-face with my servant.
56
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:03,820
If I am speaking half a falsehood, may my Qi House be confiscated and exterminated!
57
00:04:03,820 --> 00:04:05,590
Rise quickly, my child.
58
00:04:05,590 --> 00:04:07,730
I saw you grow up by me.
59
00:04:07,730 --> 00:04:09,800
Why do you curse yourself like this?
60
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,880
You are anxious and I understand. But we're amid an auspicious time right now. (T/N palace rituals)
61
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,530
Prince Yong is offering sacrifices to the gods and ancestors on behalf of His Majesty, and the gate is sealed.
62
00:04:17,530 --> 00:04:20,430
No one can see him.
63
00:04:21,010 --> 00:04:24,050
He schemed this in advance!
64
00:04:26,260 --> 00:04:28,370
How about this then?
65
00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:33,410
I will have Eunuch Zhu take my edict and search his manor personally.
66
00:04:33,410 --> 00:04:37,960
He's my confidant and the Princess Consort will not delay him.
67
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,700
You go to the warm hall and rest,
68
00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:42,560
and await for news. Hurry and go now.
69
00:04:43,180 --> 00:04:46,080
Royal Mother. Royal Mother.
70
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,860
I can only depend on you.
71
00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:50,560
Go now.
72
00:05:32,940 --> 00:05:34,700
Nonsense.
73
00:05:35,170 --> 00:05:38,270
I don't believe it! I don't believe it!
74
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:43,230
I will go see Her Highness. I will go see Her Highness!
75
00:05:43,950 --> 00:05:47,880
Her Highness has not sent an order to summon Your Highness. You cannot barge in, Princess.
76
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,920
Duke Qi of the State is in danger.
77
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,800
I will see Her Highness!
78
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,530
Your Highness.
79
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,520
[ Imperial Palace ]
80
00:06:18,270 --> 00:06:19,810
Mother.
81
00:06:21,730 --> 00:06:23,710
It didn't work, Mother?
82
00:06:31,030 --> 00:06:32,230
What?
83
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:34,960
His Majesty doesn't care if we live or die either?
84
00:06:37,930 --> 00:06:40,090
Sanxing... (T/N calling on the three deities associated with the belt stars of Orion)
85
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:48,350
His Majesty is gravely ill and I couldn't see him.
86
00:06:48,990 --> 00:06:52,290
Her Highness is so busy too.
87
00:06:55,330 --> 00:06:59,360
She doesn't have the time to worry about us.
88
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,790
Alright. Come. Let's go.
89
00:07:01,790 --> 00:07:05,540
Prince Yong calculated the timing perfectly.
90
00:07:05,540 --> 00:07:10,580
He is said to be offering to the gods and ancestors on His Majesty's behalf to beg for blessing.
91
00:07:10,580 --> 00:07:14,660
Princess Consort Yong will not admit it no matter what.
92
00:07:16,310 --> 00:07:22,460
So no matter what I say, I can't convince Her Highness.
93
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:24,340
Come, careful.
94
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,910
Duke Qi Manor
95
00:07:30,690 --> 00:07:32,080
Here.
96
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,300
You're still ill.
97
00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:42,840
Hurry and rest up.
98
00:07:43,530 --> 00:07:47,920
Tomorrow I will wait in the palace again and beg Her Highness.
99
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,190
That Prince Yong, though he's swiped your father,
100
00:07:51,190 --> 00:07:54,910
I don't imagine he'd dare to harm him.
101
00:07:54,910 --> 00:07:56,700
So you be assured too.
102
00:07:56,700 --> 00:08:01,950
Mother. You've drunk the calming tonic, so rest first.
103
00:08:01,950 --> 00:08:05,660
After your weakened energy is restored,
104
00:08:05,660 --> 00:08:08,010
we can go find Father.
105
00:08:08,010 --> 00:08:10,160
Alright. Alright.
106
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,320
Good child. Go.
107
00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:42,750
Young Lord, please rest.
108
00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:48,390
I don't know if Buwei...
109
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:54,520
drank the Mengpo Soup on the Bridge of Forgetfulness. (T/N To forget all of this life, before reincarnation)
110
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,450
Elder Brother Buwei was most loyal and devoted to you.
111
00:09:00,410 --> 00:09:02,680
I imagine the heavens will pity him
112
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:07,040
and in his next life, he will be born into a good family.
113
00:09:25,930 --> 00:09:28,110
I hope Buwei's next life,
114
00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:33,820
can be a lifetime of happiness and bliss.
115
00:09:37,820 --> 00:09:42,760
Let him not fall into a house like ours again.
116
00:09:43,980 --> 00:09:46,870
Young Lord, do you consider the ducal manor not good?
117
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:56,700
People outside look at us.
118
00:09:58,550 --> 00:10:03,930
They think we can have wind when we want it, and rain if we want it. (T/N all things go our way)
119
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:10,130
We look up to the palace,
120
00:10:11,810 --> 00:10:19,560
and we also think Emperor is majestic and powerful.
121
00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:26,570
But we are all just human.
122
00:10:27,420 --> 00:10:29,720
We are not saints.
123
00:10:31,830 --> 00:10:34,610
The Emperor has pain in his heart.
124
00:10:35,740 --> 00:10:38,160
People like us...
125
00:10:40,470 --> 00:10:43,130
have pain in our hearts too.
126
00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:57,770
This pain...
127
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:02,070
that cannot be mentioned.
128
00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:07,130
This ache...
129
00:11:09,420 --> 00:11:11,820
that words cannot stop.
130
00:11:13,310 --> 00:11:19,380
Though three thousand stars fall into the river...
131
00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:27,970
they are still not as bright as the moon.
132
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,450
Laughable.
133
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:53,860
It's too laughable.
134
00:12:06,330 --> 00:12:09,190
For hundred of years,
135
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,480
people needed only to do good deeds.
136
00:12:13,370 --> 00:12:15,240
Do good deeds.
137
00:12:17,740 --> 00:12:19,690
Young Lord, what urgent matter do you have
138
00:12:19,690 --> 00:12:22,790
that you have to come here this late at night?
139
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:33,160
May Prince Yong practice charity and allow me an audience.
140
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:40,640
His Majesty is sick, so my husband went to pray for him. He's not inside the manor.
141
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,080
Then may Princess Consort Yong do a good deed...
142
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,920
and let my father go.
143
00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:52,920
Young Lord, what are you saying?
144
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,710
How come I can't understand?
145
00:13:03,170 --> 00:13:05,860
I can then only leave my corpse behind
146
00:13:06,650 --> 00:13:08,840
to marry the Princess.
147
00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:20,750
People all say that the Young Lord of Qi House has a temperament similar to his father.
148
00:13:20,750 --> 00:13:24,020
Gentle and amicable. Easy to manipulate.
149
00:13:24,020 --> 00:13:27,410
Never thought that the people got it wrong.
150
00:13:27,410 --> 00:13:29,830
I think that inside of you,
151
00:13:29,830 --> 00:13:32,100
there's still a sense of arrogance.
152
00:13:32,100 --> 00:13:35,380
You indeed are the son of Princess Pingning.
153
00:13:35,380 --> 00:13:39,980
Although my Qi Family only has me as their descendant
154
00:13:39,980 --> 00:13:42,290
and is not as prestigious as it was before,
155
00:13:42,850 --> 00:13:48,630
we still can't just do nothing and let others kill us.
156
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:52,740
Although I don't have any merit or noble title,
157
00:13:53,660 --> 00:13:56,830
I still have shown my face to the Emperor.
158
00:13:58,150 --> 00:14:02,810
Even if the Royal House of Yong has power that can cover the heavens,
159
00:14:02,810 --> 00:14:05,450
it still can't cover up such a huge case.
160
00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:11,920
Young Lord, you're still too young.
161
00:14:12,930 --> 00:14:17,740
Our inviting Duke Qi of the State to be a guest in our house isn't a threat.
162
00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:23,300
It's just that there are things that we clearly must discuss the pros and cons of with him.
163
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:27,910
We both are royal relatives.
164
00:14:28,690 --> 00:14:32,840
Saying some commoner words, we will see each other regarded as such.
165
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,610
Why must we use violence, and destroy our harmonious relationship?
166
00:14:38,660 --> 00:14:41,980
You people abducted my father and kept him in your manor.
167
00:14:41,980 --> 00:14:44,580
You still think that our harmonious relationship won't get affected!
168
00:14:44,580 --> 00:14:46,630
If we hadn't invited him over,
169
00:14:46,630 --> 00:14:50,540
you... how could you come into our house?
170
00:14:51,950 --> 00:14:57,130
There are some words that must be said to you personally for them to be effective, Young Lord.
171
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,450
I know that you persist on refusing to be married with my daughter,
172
00:15:03,450 --> 00:15:07,760
because you love that illegitimate daughter of the Sheng family.
173
00:15:10,630 --> 00:15:14,230
You... what are you planning to do?
174
00:15:16,490 --> 00:15:21,460
Indeed. Just as you've said, if you insist on not obeying,
175
00:15:21,460 --> 00:15:25,910
I can't really kill you and your father.
176
00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:31,520
But the House of Sheng is different. With Prince's status and since it's still not known who the throne will belong to,
177
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,830
to have a fifth-rank official move away his entire family and disappear
178
00:15:35,830 --> 00:15:38,700
won't be that hard for us.
179
00:15:40,270 --> 00:15:44,770
You really... think that this empire is already in your bag!
180
00:15:44,770 --> 00:15:50,050
Even if it's not in our bag, the House of Sheng is still just that of a fifth-rank official.
181
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:54,350
Young Lord, if you die,
182
00:15:54,350 --> 00:15:57,620
that Sheng lady must die too.
183
00:15:57,620 --> 00:16:02,660
The House of Qi having no descendant, won't Princess Pingning and Duke Qi of the State
184
00:16:02,660 --> 00:16:07,200
be guarding an empty house for the remainder of their lives?
185
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:41,290
In this vast world, there are hundreds of talented men.
186
00:16:42,750 --> 00:16:46,060
Why must you insist on choosing to kill our family?
187
00:16:49,090 --> 00:16:52,790
If a family like yours who only has an empty position
188
00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:56,610
can laugh at us openly, but curse us behind our backs,
189
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,450
what then about the current empire?
190
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,400
If my daughter can't get the things that she wants,
191
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,210
and still can't get it even now,
192
00:17:10,110 --> 00:17:12,710
I will have been a useless mother.
193
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:26,020
Translation and Timing carefully crafted by the Mei Daxia Team at Viki
194
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,900
What a good...
195
00:17:41,390 --> 00:17:44,320
a good and deep motherly affection.
196
00:17:46,460 --> 00:17:49,410
Such a good display of a benevolent mother and filial child.
197
00:17:51,710 --> 00:17:53,400
Princess Consort,
198
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:03,300
if parents love their children, they should plan ahead.
199
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,100
You think...
200
00:18:07,830 --> 00:18:10,500
that this is planning ahead?
201
00:18:15,630 --> 00:18:19,310
Stupid. Stupid!
202
00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:30,680
The heavens wants to harm His Majesty.
203
00:18:33,660 --> 00:18:38,440
My dynasty's empire...
204
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:43,060
will actually end up in the hands of people like this.
205
00:19:05,230 --> 00:19:07,250
Qi Yuanruo,
206
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,330
you have no other choice.
207
00:19:27,780 --> 00:19:30,400
If you sign this marriage contract,
208
00:19:31,060 --> 00:19:34,000
your father can go home immediately.
209
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,170
The House of Sheng will also be at peace from now on.
210
00:19:44,060 --> 00:19:47,790
Even if she's a princess of the first rank or a third rank,
211
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:52,020
I will never take her in as my wife.
212
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,440
The main wife that I'm marrying
213
00:19:56,790 --> 00:19:59,300
can only be Sheng Minglan.
214
00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:22,270
Sign it.
215
00:21:24,550 --> 00:21:26,900
You have no other choice.
216
00:21:50,550 --> 00:21:52,690
Big Madam, your face looks like spring.
217
00:21:52,690 --> 00:21:55,260
Is there a joyous occasion at home?
218
00:21:55,860 --> 00:21:59,160
You can say so. I'm inviting you
219
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,230
and these three ladies to be guests in my house.
220
00:22:04,940 --> 00:22:06,940
These three daughters of mine
221
00:22:06,940 --> 00:22:09,520
are crude and lacking in proper etiquette.
222
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,140
They might embarrass themselves once they reach your Count Manor.
223
00:22:13,140 --> 00:22:15,710
You're being too humble.
224
00:22:15,710 --> 00:22:18,950
Your three ladies even went to the Marquis Gu Manor already.
225
00:22:18,950 --> 00:22:21,690
What more a measly Count Manor like mine?
226
00:22:21,690 --> 00:22:24,220
Moreover, if you come this time,
227
00:22:24,220 --> 00:22:28,500
you don't need to fear bumping into that tigress Princess Pingning.
228
00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:30,350
Why?
229
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:34,770
Her only son Qi Heng will be marrying Princess Jiacheng soon.
230
00:22:34,770 --> 00:22:41,230
Since she's busy preparing for the wedding, she won't have time to come out for social gatherings or finding this son a woman anymore.
231
00:22:41,230 --> 00:22:42,930
Are you talking about the daughter of Prince Yong?
232
00:22:42,930 --> 00:22:44,780
Of course.
233
00:22:44,780 --> 00:22:50,150
If you ask me, she can be considered one of the most noble ladies here in the capital.
234
00:22:50,150 --> 00:22:54,990
I fear that her future is very promising.
235
00:22:54,990 --> 00:23:00,330
After picking here and there, Princess Pingning finally got the top prize.
236
00:23:02,470 --> 00:23:06,930
But this matter mustn't be publicized too much. His Majesty is severely ill.
237
00:23:06,930 --> 00:23:09,850
It isn't convenient for the Prince Yong Manor and Duke Qi House to organize a grand celebration.
238
00:23:09,850 --> 00:23:13,640
Hence, they only quietly invited some old friends.
239
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,820
There are a lot of families in Bianjing that still don't know about it.
240
00:23:17,820 --> 00:23:21,530
Say, a marriage between royal families
241
00:23:21,530 --> 00:23:24,190
is actually being done in such stealthy manner.
242
00:23:24,190 --> 00:23:26,750
Don't you find that funny?
243
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:30,880
Funny. It is indeed funny.
244
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:36,320
From the looks of it, Prince Yong most likely will get the position.
245
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,470
Princess Pingning is close with the people in the palace.
246
00:23:39,470 --> 00:23:41,970
Maybe she received some news
247
00:23:41,970 --> 00:23:44,050
from the Emperor,
248
00:23:44,050 --> 00:23:49,270
or else why would she suddenly settle on the daughter of Prince Yong?
249
00:23:52,930 --> 00:23:56,000
That Big Madam Wu is clearly being happy at the disaster of another.
250
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,220
She was still laughing like that. Who does she think is stupid and cannot get her meaning?
251
00:24:00,970 --> 00:24:02,780
Isn't it just the Duke Qi of the State House?
252
00:24:02,780 --> 00:24:05,800
There are so many noble and highly-ranked families in the capital.
253
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,690
There are ducal, count, and marquis houses everywhere.
254
00:24:08,690 --> 00:24:11,350
I don't plan on hanging myself on just one tree.
255
00:24:11,350 --> 00:24:13,780
Once I get splendidly married-off to a higher-ranking family,
256
00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:16,410
I'll eventually come back to mock her.
257
00:24:18,750 --> 00:24:21,940
- Miss, are you alright?
- How are you?
258
00:24:21,940 --> 00:24:24,280
What's wrong? Are you alright?
259
00:24:25,490 --> 00:24:28,220
I'm fine. I-I'm fine.
260
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,540
Grandmother, why did you come?
261
00:24:53,850 --> 00:24:56,980
"The Wu and Kuaiji Commanderies are not my hometown.
262
00:24:56,980 --> 00:24:59,660
How can I stay here for long?"
263
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,390
Ming'er, where do you want to stay?
264
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:09,700
You may all leave us.
265
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,960
How old are you, and you still trip on level ground?
266
00:25:28,270 --> 00:25:30,440
Come, let me see it.
267
00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:34,810
I'm fine, Grandmother. It's not painful anymore.
268
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,770
I've heard about what happened in the House of Qi.
269
00:25:40,890 --> 00:25:46,160
He was quite a good child, just isn't fated to be with our family.
270
00:25:47,910 --> 00:25:53,060
A person can't have everything go his way.
271
00:25:54,150 --> 00:25:57,120
Just treat it as encountering a setback.
272
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,160
You tripped and got hurt, so just cry it out.
273
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,000
After crying, climb up again. You still have to live your days.
274
00:26:13,220 --> 00:26:15,980
Stop drilling horns. (T/N paying too much attention to unimportant matters)
275
00:26:17,870 --> 00:26:25,970
Don't be sad. The marriage of children of aristocratic families are not for them to decide in the first place.
276
00:26:25,970 --> 00:26:30,160
You've fought for yourself already.
277
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,750
There shouldn't be any regrets.
278
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,000
If you have hurt your knees because of tripping, I can blow on it for you.
279
00:26:42,990 --> 00:26:45,290
If you have hurt your heart,
280
00:26:45,290 --> 00:26:50,140
I will find you a better man in the future.
281
00:26:56,890 --> 00:26:58,410
Inviting me?
282
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,990
On the outside, your General Xie wants you to pay respects to me on his behalf.
283
00:27:03,990 --> 00:27:06,650
But in reality, he wants me to shut myself up and ponder my actions.
284
00:27:06,650 --> 00:27:09,510
I don't think I'm worthy of the word "invite.
285
00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:11,080
No. No. No.
286
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,560
The General persuaded to wait on you as a true talent.
287
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,720
You are able to defeat a hundred just by yourself. Always victorious in your battles.
288
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,380
Without you, won't we all just
289
00:27:18,380 --> 00:27:20,820
be going to our death?
290
00:27:22,100 --> 00:27:25,710
So in short, you people want me to become your stepping-stone.
291
00:27:25,710 --> 00:27:26,810
I've said the wrong words.
292
00:27:26,810 --> 00:27:29,480
The General is so good at strategy.
293
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,310
To say that I'm superior to him at fighting battles,
294
00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:34,980
I'm not worthy.
295
00:27:36,500 --> 00:27:39,260
Rongjie, quickly come down.
296
00:27:39,260 --> 00:27:42,760
Father has important matters to discuss. Don't disturb him.
297
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,520
Momo, I'm going to the front line soon.
298
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,400
While I still have time, let me teach Rong'er to write some more words.
299
00:27:51,010 --> 00:27:54,750
So actually it turns out we're expected to wait together here and banter among ourselves?
300
00:28:00,460 --> 00:28:02,420
We'll set out tomorrow.
301
00:28:10,550 --> 00:28:16,150
Since you've decided to go back, why must you make things difficult for those two?
302
00:28:17,690 --> 00:28:23,460
Before, I would use my own body to fight off anything, causing myself to be badly battered.
303
00:28:23,460 --> 00:28:27,760
Now, I've learned to be smarter because of my Eldest Brother and his wife.
304
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,960
Once they faced problems in battle, they would naturally come to beg me to help.
305
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,960
If I acted to ignore them, they would then not dare belittle me when I go back.
306
00:28:37,010 --> 00:28:39,350
What has the world come to?
307
00:28:39,350 --> 00:28:41,880
Forcing the pure, loyal, and upright people
308
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,970
to continuously scheme just to get by.
309
00:28:45,930 --> 00:28:48,190
Momo is just biased toward me.
310
00:28:48,190 --> 00:28:52,670
How am I a pure, loyal, and upright man? That would best describe Yuanruo.
311
00:28:53,250 --> 00:28:55,740
Talking about the Young Lord of the ducal House of Qi,
312
00:28:55,740 --> 00:29:00,280
I heard that he's about to marry the daughter of Prince Yong.
313
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,820
Young Master,
314
00:29:01,820 --> 00:29:04,650
when will you get married?
315
00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:07,940
Momo, did you hear it wrong?
316
00:29:07,940 --> 00:29:10,950
The House of Qi is really making a marriage alliance with Prince Yong?
317
00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:12,620
How can it be fake?
318
00:29:12,620 --> 00:29:17,380
I heard it from idle servants of the Marquis House gossiping in the market yesterday.
319
00:29:17,380 --> 00:29:21,640
They said that the House of Qi has taken into consideration that the emperor is sick, hence, didn't publicize it too much.
320
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,660
They only invited close relatives and old friends to attend the wedding.
321
00:29:28,060 --> 00:29:30,000
I'll go see Yuanruo.
322
00:29:34,710 --> 00:29:38,790
I heard that Prince Yong has prayed to the heavens on behalf of His Majesty.
323
00:29:39,490 --> 00:29:40,970
Yes.
324
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,760
Then does the Princess find this wedding
325
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,380
very suitable?
326
00:29:51,860 --> 00:29:55,610
Second Uncle, if I don't agree,
327
00:29:55,610 --> 00:29:57,060
even the House of Sheng will face a disaster.
328
00:29:57,060 --> 00:30:01,280
If you were I, what would you do?
329
00:30:02,260 --> 00:30:04,400
If I were you...
330
00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:08,550
I'd enter the palace and have an audience with the Emperor.
331
00:30:08,550 --> 00:30:11,360
Sue the whole family of Prince Yong in Wende Hall!
332
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,050
If that won't work, imitate the method of Prince Yong.
333
00:30:15,050 --> 00:30:19,240
If he can kidnap the daughter of someone, I can also kidnap his!
334
00:30:20,010 --> 00:30:23,850
Without the princess of the third rank, who will he marry off to you?
335
00:30:23,850 --> 00:30:26,190
By then, because of the delays,
336
00:30:26,190 --> 00:30:29,160
won't this matter eventually get foiled?
337
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,610
Taking a step back, no matter how unbridled and arrogant that Princess is,
338
00:30:35,610 --> 00:30:39,470
she wouldn't dare marry a husband as harsh and unreasonable as you, right?
339
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:46,180
This is a method of hurting him by a thousand, but hurting yourself by eight hundred.
340
00:30:46,180 --> 00:30:50,090
Prince Yong will soon be named the Crown Prince.
341
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,360
Such an act might lead to clan annihilation.
342
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,130
Place him on a field of death and he will fight to live.
343
00:31:02,170 --> 00:31:07,090
Since you want to live according to what you desire, you then must take risks.
344
00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:11,750
Growing up, you were able to get whatever you wanted.
345
00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:13,830
You never knew how to compete or struggle for something.
346
00:31:13,830 --> 00:31:16,110
Of course, you also wouldn't know that in competing or fighting for something,
347
00:31:16,110 --> 00:31:18,570
you need methods.
348
00:31:21,300 --> 00:31:23,270
Second Uncle, you're saying that
349
00:31:24,450 --> 00:31:25,720
it was my mistake?
350
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,360
Of course it was!
351
00:31:29,130 --> 00:31:32,950
From the start, you should have expressed your stand to your parents.
352
00:31:32,950 --> 00:31:36,880
No matter how much the Princess tried to hinder you, you should have been willing to die than to submit!
353
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,100
Aren't you getting married now?
354
00:31:39,100 --> 00:31:44,310
But you kept pondering about it and kept feeling that it wasn't the right time.
355
00:31:51,940 --> 00:31:54,320
I've wronged Minglan.
356
00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:57,320
I now don't have the nerve
357
00:31:58,250 --> 00:32:02,100
to enter the Sheng Manor anymore. Second Uncle.
358
00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:03,830
Second Uncle.
359
00:32:06,190 --> 00:32:07,910
This...
360
00:32:09,750 --> 00:32:12,000
Please give it to her on my behalf.
361
00:32:13,290 --> 00:32:18,080
We can still talk about this. Yuanruo, the House of Sheng doesn't have a very high rank.
362
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,630
Getting liked by you is already their having climbing a very high branch.
363
00:32:20,630 --> 00:32:23,870
This matter has spread all over the capital such that everyone now knows about it.
364
00:32:23,870 --> 00:32:26,380
If you're going to marry the Princess now,
365
00:32:26,380 --> 00:32:29,990
won't Minglan have become a joke?
366
00:32:29,990 --> 00:32:33,430
How can she still seek marriage in the future? Who will still give her any respect?
367
00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:36,240
Have you thought about it for her sake?
368
00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:44,320
I know that, but what can I do!
369
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:50,070
You are now living on your own. You can ignore everything. But I'm different, I--
370
00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:53,360
I... I can't put the whole Qi Clan in danger
371
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,330
just for my own happiness.
372
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,500
Yuanruo, if you dare fight for this lady,
373
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,680
there's no need for your House of Qi to act.
374
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,980
I'll go to the Prince Yong Manor and abduct that lady for you.
375
00:33:11,590 --> 00:33:16,430
We're now in critical times. Prince Yong wouldn't dare publicize it.
376
00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:21,000
This is your last chance. Think about it well.
377
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,950
Come, Yuanruo.
378
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,540
As long as you give the permission, I'll go through any kind of danger for you.
379
00:33:35,540 --> 00:33:39,620
I don't think that Sheng lady deserves to suffer like this.
380
00:33:40,110 --> 00:33:43,560
The remainder of her life all depends on your decision!
381
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,580
Yuanruo.
382
00:33:57,790 --> 00:33:59,850
Say something!
383
00:34:11,330 --> 00:34:14,360
What destiny makes fools of people?
384
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,110
While walking in this world, if you are afraid to take three steps forward,
385
00:34:18,110 --> 00:34:23,410
and afraid to take five steps backward, don't even bother planning anything.
386
00:34:52,170 --> 00:34:53,600
Sister Yanghao.
387
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,600
What does Second Brother actually want to gift me
388
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,600
that he's gone through this trouble of hiding it?
389
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,000
I don't really know either.
390
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,200
Second Young Master said he didn't want it known,
391
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,100
and if Fourth or Fifth Miss find out, they will snatch it from you.
392
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,100
Second Uncle Gu? Where's my Second Brother?
393
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,400
I wanted to borrow the border boundary map to see.
394
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,500
He went to get it from Uncle Sheng and asked me to wait.
395
00:35:20,500 --> 00:35:22,500
Then please wait, Second Uncle.
396
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:25,600
I will come talk to my brother later.
397
00:35:26,500 --> 00:35:28,200
Sixth Miss.
398
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,400
I wonder if you, Sixth Miss, have received any new calligraphy books lately?
399
00:35:45,700 --> 00:35:47,600
Your Second Brother heard
400
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,900
that a great calligrapher has appeared from Liaodong.
401
00:35:50,900 --> 00:35:53,200
So he sought a sample from him,
402
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,600
and had me bring it to you to see.
403
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,200
Liaodong is a remote area. What great calligraphy can arise?
404
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:12,700
Perhaps, since your brother isn't here now,
405
00:36:14,830 --> 00:36:16,800
you'd like to take a look first?
406
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,400
Danju and I will prepare a bowl of great tea for you.
407
00:36:40,110 --> 00:36:42,390
I told your Second Brother...
408
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,400
that if you don't want to see it, you needn't look at really,
409
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,100
I can just send it back to Liaodong.
410
00:37:07,900 --> 00:37:10,600
Are there any messages from Liaodong?
411
00:37:11,700 --> 00:37:18,000
He said it is a great calligraphy book, and he wrote in it badly.
412
00:37:19,130 --> 00:37:21,500
He owes you greatly.
413
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,300
What else did he say?
414
00:37:30,850 --> 00:37:32,700
Not much.
415
00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:40,100
He only feels it was a great calligraphy book and he's written it into this state.
416
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:42,520
He is ashamed to face you,
417
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,600
and he doesn't want to give any excuse.
418
00:37:46,700 --> 00:37:49,900
He just asked me to bring the book to you.
419
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,610
May you wait briefly, Second Uncle.
420
00:38:18,300 --> 00:38:23,200
Xiaotao! Bring me my clay doll and have it wrapped nicely.
421
00:38:52,500 --> 00:38:55,100
This clay doll.
422
00:38:56,100 --> 00:38:58,640
You said it looks like one of me smiling.
423
00:39:00,850 --> 00:39:05,740
But looking similar is useless.
424
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:11,100
Young Lord went against his promise to you.
425
00:39:11,100 --> 00:39:15,100
Miss, I'll go shatter this clay doll to pieces now.
426
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,100
Good Xiaotao. We won't blame him.
427
00:39:20,030 --> 00:39:25,010
Though he doesn't say it, I know he has his painful reason.
428
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,200
What he hopes to achieve just can't be achieved.
429
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,400
We won't blame him.
430
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:38,400
Let's go now to return this to him
431
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,600
to finish this.
432
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,000
Let's go.
433

440
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,250
You will not keep it as a memento?
441
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,800
No need.
442
00:40:37,300 --> 00:40:39,290
What's so funny?
443
00:40:39,900 --> 00:40:43,700
Back then, I told you Manniang wasn't a good person.
444
00:40:43,700 --> 00:40:48,100
You wouldn't believe me and I lamented that you were a fool.
445
00:40:48,100 --> 00:40:53,400
That day at the Marquis Manor, you compared Qi Heng and I to Emperor Ming and Consort Yang,
446
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,700
and I also didn't believe you.
447
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:04,000
It seems now we are just too dumb and too foolish.
448
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,400
We just wouldn't listen.
449
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,900
This world has always been full of mishaps and bad timings.
450
00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:15,400
- You . . .
- I understand.
451
00:41:17,130 --> 00:41:18,710
Alright.

00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,500
Alright.
453
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,000
The war on the southern frontier is pressing.
454
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000
After I return the book, I will leave.
455
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,600
The world is chaotic and tumultuous now.
456
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:41,400
Swords and spears on the battlefield have no eyes. May you, Young Master, take care of yourself.

If there are too many idle rumors later on, or your marital talks don't fare smoothly,
460
00:42:02,900 --> 00:42:05,400
you must not let it bother you.
461

Wait for me to return and I will teach those broken mouths!
462
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,950
We don't need to mention about marital talks again.
463
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,200
Why not?
464
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:21,200
The future is never predictable.

If it hadn't been for your persuasion,

00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,800
I fear I might still be with the Canal Gang, surviving in the world.
467

Look at me now, not long after that,
468

I am already an important member of the army, heavily entrusted.
469
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,600
Come now, you're acting foolish!
470
