00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,480
Father, A’Wu has already been missing for over ten days. Is there any news?

178
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,770
There are some leads. She should be heading towards Ningshuo.

179
00:15:44,770 --> 00:15:48,030
I already sent people to contact Prince Yuzhang.

180
00:15:49,690 --> 00:15:54,060
This gang of culprits should be making a move in the next few days.

181
00:15:54,060 --> 00:15:57,520
By the time Xiao Qi gets my message, he should have long made preparations.

182
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,280
He should be able to find your sister.

183
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,570
But that Xiao Qi was able to abandon A’Wu on their wedding night, so why would he rescue her now?

184
00:16:03,570 --> 00:16:07,720
Right now, he and our Wang Clan are on the same boat.

185
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,310
We are both thorns in the emperor’s eyes.

186
00:16:12,460 --> 00:16:15,740
If he continues to not form an alliance with us,

187
00:16:15,740 --> 00:16:18,440
then I’m afraid he can only die.

188
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,180
- Young Duke.
- Why are these rooms all dark?

189
00:16:35,180 --> 00:16:37,030
Where is my wife?

190
00:16:37,030 --> 00:16:39,070
For the past few days, Duke Huan has been here at the capital.

191
00:16:39,070 --> 00:16:41,420
Her Ladyship has gone to spend time with him.

192
00:16:41,420 --> 00:16:43,100
She must have done that again today.

193
00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:44,590
Such a serious matter has happened at home,

194
00:16:44,590 --> 00:16:48,480
yet as the daughter-in-law, she is not by mother’s side!

195
00:16:52,030 --> 00:16:53,930
Once she is back, inform me immediately.

196
00:16:53,930 --> 00:16:55,770
Yes, Young Duke.

197
00:16:57,610 --> 00:17:02,940
Mi’er, in a few more days,

198
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:07,680
I will have you by my side officially.

199
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,450
I will certainly not let you be wronged in any way.

200
00:17:11,450 --> 00:17:13,600
When I succeed the throne is

201
00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:19,540
when you will become the “mother of the nation.”

202
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,320
Zilu...

203
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,770
Hush.

204
00:17:27,130 --> 00:17:29,100
Have faith in me.

205
00:17:56,170 --> 00:17:58,810
Are we giving up on searching for the princess now?

206
00:17:58,810 --> 00:18:00,740
No.

207
00:18:00,740 --> 00:18:02,660
We are returning to the capital.

208
00:18:11,620 --> 00:18:14,930
- Fire!
- Come help!

209
00:18:14,930 --> 00:18:18,380
Fire! Fire!

210
00:18:24,180 --> 00:18:25,890
Hurry! Hurry!

211
00:18:26,860 --> 00:18:32,950
Hurry! Hurry!

212
00:18:44,210 --> 00:18:46,720
Princess Consort, forgive us for the offense.

213
00:18:48,150 --> 00:18:50,060
- I am Hu Guanglie.
- I, Hu Yao.

214
00:18:50,060 --> 00:18:52,710
We came to rescue you under the orders of Prince Yuzhang.

215
00:18:52,710 --> 00:18:55,830
Princess Consort, do not be afraid. High Highness sent us to protect you.

216
00:18:55,830 --> 00:18:58,040
- It was Prince Yuzhang who sent you two?
- Yes.

217
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,330
- Where is he?
- His Highness is in Ningshuo.

218
00:19:00,330 --> 00:19:03,220
However, he was very worried after knowing about your kidnapping,

219
00:19:03,220 --> 00:19:05,900
so he sent Hu Yao and me to serach for your whereabouts.

220
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:08,440
Hurry! Hurry and look for her!

221
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,760
- Don’t let her escape!
- Yes!

222
00:19:13,490 --> 00:19:15,130
Search for her! Bring some more water!

223
00:19:15,130 --> 00:19:17,190
Not here! She is not over here!

224
00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:19,360
- Search carefully!
- She is not over here as well!

225
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:20,870
Look over there!

226
00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:23,010
Let’s go! Don’t let her run away!

227
00:19:23,010 --> 00:19:26,700
Hu Yao, you protect Her Highness from behind.

228
00:19:26,700 --> 00:19:28,740
- I will be in front, forging a path for us.
- All right.

229
00:19:28,740 --> 00:19:30,960
This way!

230
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,250
- Nothing here!
- Water is here!

231
00:19:33,250 --> 00:19:35,330
- You guys look over there!
- Yes!

232
00:19:35,330 --> 00:19:36,320
Search carefully!

233
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,230
Over here! Over here!

234
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,770
Over here!

235
00:19:43,770 --> 00:19:46,000
Over here! Hurry!

236
00:19:46,780 --> 00:19:48,820
This way!

237
00:19:48,820 --> 00:19:50,810
There’s no one here! Go look over there!

238
00:19:50,810 --> 00:19:53,190
Search carefully! There is no way she is escaping!

239
00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:55,140
Water is here!

240
00:19:55,140 --> 00:19:56,910
Keep on searching! Hurry!

241
00:19:56,910 --> 00:19:58,910
Over there!

242
00:19:58,910 --> 00:20:00,600
- Over there!
- This way!

243
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,610
Over here! Hurry! Hurry!

244
00:20:02,610 --> 00:20:04,270
There’s no one here!

245
00:20:05,500 --> 00:20:08,960
- You guys go close the gates!
- Yes.

246
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,070
Close the court gates!

247
00:20:15,810 --> 00:20:17,610
Search carefully!

248
00:20:20,410 --> 00:20:23,760
There are people everywhere. We’ll be discovered sooner or later.

249
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,160
Then let’s kill our way out.

250
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,090
You can’t! You can’t!

251
00:20:28,090 --> 00:20:30,300
There are too many of them.

252
00:20:31,310 --> 00:20:35,050
There is no way out. None of us can get out of here.

253
00:20:35,050 --> 00:20:38,310
- You two, climb on top of the battlements! Look from up there!
- Yes!

254
00:20:38,310 --> 00:20:40,130
Is she over there?

255
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,110
Listen to me.

256
00:20:44,110 --> 00:20:46,660
Helan Zhen set up a trap.

257
00:20:46,660 --> 00:20:52,540
In three days, he will use me as bait to kill Prince Yuzhang.

258
00:20:52,540 --> 00:20:56,400
In three days? That’s the day of the military parade.

259
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,190
Over there!

260
00:20:58,190 --> 00:21:00,060
Close all the gates!

261
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:01,480
Yes!

262
00:21:02,260 --> 00:21:03,820
Yes.

263
00:21:03,820 --> 00:21:07,600
I don’t know about the specifics of what he will be doing in three days,

264
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,180
but I know that he wants to—

265
00:21:10,180 --> 00:21:13,490
We carefully searched everywhere!

266
00:21:13,490 --> 00:21:15,880
...challenge Prince Yuzhang to a death battle.

267
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,500
Immediately relay this news back.

268
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:20,410
Don’t let even a bird out from here!

269
00:21:20,410 --> 00:21:23,370
- Princess Consort!
- What are you trying to do?

270
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,690
I’ll go out and distract them. You two hurry and leave.

271
00:21:26,690 --> 00:21:28,240
- No.
- Princess Consort.

272
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,610
I promised His Highness to protect you.

273
00:21:31,610 --> 00:21:35,060
Don’t worry. I’m still useful to them.

274
00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:38,100
They won’t harm me easily.

275
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:42,790
Tell Prince Yuzhang that I will be waiting for him in three days.

276
00:21:42,790 --> 00:21:44,320
Over there!

277
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,150
- Princess Consort! Princess Consort!
- Princess Consort! Princess Consort!

278
00:21:48,270 --> 00:21:49,910
How about this?

279
00:21:49,910 --> 00:21:52,060
I’ll stay and protect her secretly.

280
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:55,260
Brother, you go report back.

281
00:21:58,450 --> 00:21:59,980
Let’s go!

282
00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:09,550
- Who is it?
- It’s me.

283
00:22:09,550 --> 00:22:12,290
- My Lord!
- This is bad. This is bad.

284
00:22:12,290 --> 00:22:15,020
- What happened?
- I made a huge mistake.

285
00:22:16,870 --> 00:22:18,540
This is just great.

286
00:22:18,540 --> 00:22:21,930
Not only did I not succeed in begging for mercy, but I also made such a huge mistake.

287
00:22:21,930 --> 00:22:23,550
We are going to die for sure now.

288
00:22:23,550 --> 00:22:27,140
We don’t even know if we can keep our lives.

289
00:22:27,140 --> 00:22:30,870
My Lord, what do we do now?

290
00:22:30,870 --> 00:22:33,150
What else can we do?

291
00:22:33,150 --> 00:22:36,990
Run. We run away tonight.

292
00:22:45,980 --> 00:22:49,040
How did she escape?

293
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,070
I was negligent.

294
00:22:51,070 --> 00:22:54,410
She set the room on fire and tried to escape in the chaos.

295
00:22:54,990 --> 00:22:58,280
Young Master, Xiao Ye nearly got hurt because of this.

296
00:22:59,050 --> 00:23:01,130
You have quite a lot of tricks.

297
00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:05,060
It’s too bad that you’re not very physically skilled.

298
00:23:05,060 --> 00:23:09,570
Do you know that your moment of negligence nearly wrecked my great plans?

299
00:23:09,570 --> 00:23:13,310
Forget it! Tie her up right here.

300
00:23:13,310 --> 00:23:16,060
Let’s see how she’ll escape again.

301
00:23:17,290 --> 00:23:20,580
May I be so bold to say, I ask you to prioritize revenge, Young Master.

302
00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:21,890
What did you say?

303
00:23:21,890 --> 00:23:26,750
Young Master, you must not be enchanted by her beauty and delay our important matters.

304
00:23:26,750 --> 00:23:29,930
We have waited for so long and so many of our people have died.

305
00:23:29,930 --> 00:23:32,770
The final battle is in just three days.

306
00:23:32,770 --> 00:23:35,260
You still remember our great plans for revenge?!

307
00:23:35,260 --> 00:23:37,810
Then, why did you let her escape?!

308
00:23:37,810 --> 00:23:39,850
I know I was wrong.

309
00:23:39,850 --> 00:23:42,150
Please punish me, Young Master.

310
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,370
Punish?

311
00:23:45,370 --> 00:23:49,440
Don’t blame me for being inconsiderate.

312
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,440
Someone has to take responsibility for this incident.

313
00:23:53,450 --> 00:23:55,480
You escaped.

314
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,400
So now she has to take responsibility.

315
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,130
- Suotu.
- Here.

316
00:24:01,130 --> 00:24:04,490
Drag her out and chop off one of her arms.

317
00:24:04,490 --> 00:24:06,830
Young Master! I still have to serve you, Young Master!

318
00:24:06,830 --> 00:24:09,060
- Let’s go!
- Don’t do this, Young Master! Young Master!

319
00:24:09,060 --> 00:24:13,460
Helan Zhen, I’m the one who set the fire.

320
00:24:13,460 --> 00:24:16,100
Why are you punishing her?

321
00:24:16,830 --> 00:24:20,920
Besides, even if you’re the one personally watching me now,

322
00:24:21,650 --> 00:24:24,130
you may not be able to keep me in place.

323
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,960
Now you’re talking on her behalf?

324
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,880
Interesting.

325
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,540
Fine.

326
00:24:34,220 --> 00:24:38,570
Then I shall personally watch over you now.

327
00:24:44,730 --> 00:24:47,930
Governor Wu, I know you are inside!

328
00:24:47,930 --> 00:24:50,480
It’s a woman.

329
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,240
Go take a look.

330
00:24:52,850 --> 00:24:55,050
Go take a look!

331
00:24:59,990 --> 00:25:01,790
Who is it?

332
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,790
Who are you?

333
00:25:12,790 --> 00:25:14,890
Who I am is not important.

334
00:25:14,890 --> 00:25:20,690
Governor Wu, don’t you know that a great calamity is upon you?

335
00:25:23,030 --> 00:25:24,780
How do you know?

336
00:25:24,780 --> 00:25:28,270
There’s only one person who can save you now.

337
00:25:28,270 --> 00:25:31,750
If you want to live, then come with me.

338
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,430
I, Wu Qian, greet you, Duke Huan.

339
00:25:57,430 --> 00:26:01,060
Please save me, Duke Huan.

340
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:03,550
As long as you can save me,

341
00:26:03,550 --> 00:26:09,500
I’m willing to repay your kind act with extreme sacrifices.

342
00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:12,570
This time, I can’t save you.

343
00:26:16,170 --> 00:26:18,790
Then, what should I do?

344
00:26:18,790 --> 00:26:21,330
There is someone who can save you.

345
00:26:21,330 --> 00:26:22,830
Who?

346
00:26:29,010 --> 00:26:30,890
This is...

347
00:26:33,770 --> 00:26:36,860
Your savior is here.

348
00:26:39,910 --> 00:26:42,430
Greetings to Your Highness the Second Prince.

349
00:26:42,430 --> 00:26:44,580
Forego the formalities, Duke Huan.

350
00:26:46,030 --> 00:26:47,810
Your Highness the Second Prince!

351
00:26:47,810 --> 00:26:51,800
I beg you to save me, Your Highness the Second Prince!

352
00:27:18,540 --> 00:27:24,250
The heavens have not ever been kind to me.

353
00:27:24,250 --> 00:27:27,700
Whenever there is something beautiful,

354
00:27:27,700 --> 00:27:31,180
he will surely destroy it in front of me.

355
00:27:32,180 --> 00:27:37,530
Say, if you were not Princess Consort Yuzhang,

356
00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:39,590
how wonderful would that be?

357
00:27:41,650 --> 00:27:44,800
Or if I were not Helan Zhen,

358
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,940
not your enemy, would you still hate me like this?

359
00:27:49,940 --> 00:27:53,640
You torment the weak and the young, take your anger out on the innocent,

360
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,030
and are driven by the desire for revenge.

361
00:27:57,030 --> 00:27:59,460
How can I not hate you?

362
00:27:59,460 --> 00:28:04,220
Do you know how I survived to this day?

363
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,920
Once upon a time, in Liupan,

364
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,330
there was a beautiful and noble princess.

365
00:28:13,340 --> 00:28:18,290
She was so noble that those who took a second look at her felt as though they committed blasphemy.

366
00:28:21,390 --> 00:28:25,990
However, who would have thought that on her wedding day,

367
00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:29,960
the Hulan Crown Prince, who came to attend her wedding,

368
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,490
had evil thoughts because of her beauty.

369
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:44,010
The Crown Prince of Hulan

370
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,480
defiled that princess.

371
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,060
Afterward, the princess gave birth to a son and a daughter.

372
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,580
One day, that daughter became ill.

373
00:29:02,580 --> 00:29:07,040
The mother, who had no other choice, was only able to take the boy

374
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:11,680
to brave the ice and snow in order to return to Liupan

375
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,570
to beg for help from her former royal relatives.

376
00:29:16,950 --> 00:29:19,000
However, they...

377
00:29:20,250 --> 00:29:25,270
would just point to that boy and call him a bastard.

378
00:29:25,270 --> 00:29:28,040
They chased them away.

379
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,690
The chief guard to the princess from back then was the only one to stay by her side

380
00:29:33,690 --> 00:29:36,750
to raise the son and daughter.

381
00:29:37,980 --> 00:29:42,350
However, many years later,

382
00:29:42,350 --> 00:29:47,530
the Crown Prince of Hulan unexpectedly sent people to look for that boy

383
00:29:47,530 --> 00:29:51,510
and took him away from his mother’s side.

384
00:29:52,860 --> 00:29:55,810
Didn’t they refuse to acknowledge that boy?

385
00:29:55,810 --> 00:29:59,160
This is because the Hulan royal descendants all died in battle.

386
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,490
There was no one left to succeed the throne.

387
00:30:02,490 --> 00:30:07,230
So he remembered the sins he committed in Liupan.

388
00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:14,070
Soon after, that boy returned to Hulan.

389
00:30:14,070 --> 00:30:16,930
The war between Hulan and the Central Plains began.

390
00:30:16,930 --> 00:30:22,600
Liupan, which was stuck in between the two, suffered miserably due to the war.
[Liupan]

391
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,100
Only by threatening to take his own life

392
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:28,150
was the boy bestowed with his own troops by the Hulan King,

393
00:30:28,150 --> 00:30:31,450
allowing him to return to save his mother.

394
00:30:32,570 --> 00:30:34,590
However, by the time he rushed to Liupan,

395
00:30:34,590 --> 00:30:37,800
it was already in ruin.

396
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,780
His mother and sister were already...

397
00:30:45,980 --> 00:30:48,340
You are that boy.

398
00:31:00,460 --> 00:31:03,530
The only things I cared about in this world

399
00:31:04,730 --> 00:31:08,170
burned to ashes on that day.

400
00:31:09,330 --> 00:31:12,370
After that day, my mother’s chief guard found me.

401
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:16,950
With him were the fortunate few who escaped from the Liupan Palace.

402
00:31:16,950 --> 00:31:19,510
They proclaimed me as their young master,

403
00:31:19,510 --> 00:31:23,710
saying something about using their life to get revenge for Liupan.

404
00:31:29,860 --> 00:31:31,700
So...

405
00:31:33,500 --> 00:31:36,130
I became your pawn.

406
00:31:37,340 --> 00:31:39,440
A pawn for revenge.

407
00:31:59,710 --> 00:32:02,600
Saying all that is useless now.

408
00:32:03,260 --> 00:32:06,340
I don’t care how many people I kill.

409
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,300
But the thought of killing you

410
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,830
makes me a little unhappy.

411
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,360
Your Majesty, careful.

412
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,090
Your Majesty, Marquis Xie sent news

413
00:33:06,090 --> 00:33:10,090
saying that an infallible trap has already been set up in Ningshuo.

414
00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:14,030
As soon as Xiao Qi dies,

415
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,500
Xu Shou will take out the secret imperial decree

416
00:33:17,500 --> 00:33:21,290
and use his status as the imperial envoy to control the Ningshuo army.

417
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,110
What about Zitan? Where is Zitan now?

418
00:33:27,110 --> 00:33:30,810
His Highness should be on his way back here.

419
00:33:34,130 --> 00:33:39,730
Your Majesty, enduring like this, when will it end?

420
00:33:39,730 --> 00:33:42,770
I have already died once.

421
00:33:42,770 --> 00:33:44,730
No matter how difficult it may be,

422
00:33:45,420 --> 00:33:47,650
I must endure it.

423
00:34:06,910 --> 00:34:09,390
Wash up.

424
00:34:10,090 --> 00:34:12,560
Change into something clean.

425
00:34:16,060 --> 00:34:20,670
so that tomorrow... “you can walk the path easily.”
(T/N: a secondary meaning of the phrase is to walk the path of death; walking to death)

426
00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:26,820
What will you do to me tomorrow?

427
00:34:26,820 --> 00:34:29,020
Don’t worry about it.

428
00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:33,900
Yesterday, you saved me. I owe you.

429
00:34:33,900 --> 00:34:36,960
If you have any wishes, you can tell me.

430
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,090
I’m guessing that tomorrow’s battle will forbode disasters rather than blessings.

431
00:34:41,090 --> 00:34:43,670
Do you not have any wishes?

432
00:34:44,780 --> 00:34:46,820
My wish...

433
00:34:47,570 --> 00:34:49,690
is nothing more than death.

434
00:34:49,690 --> 00:34:52,670
Do you really not care about your own life?

435
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,180
It was Young Master who saved me.

436
00:34:56,850 --> 00:35:00,270
Since the day he brought me to Hulan,

437
00:35:00,270 --> 00:35:03,240
my life has been his.

438
00:35:03,240 --> 00:35:05,120
Xiao Ye...

439
00:35:10,670 --> 00:35:15,270
I can see how you treat Helan Zhen.

440
00:35:16,500 --> 00:35:19,420
Your entire body and heart are invested in him.

441
00:35:20,060 --> 00:35:24,400
Whatever he wants, you will do your best to give it to him.

442
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:28,740
But how does he, on the other hand, treat you?

443
00:35:28,740 --> 00:35:34,510
He orders you around and even wanted to chop your arm off.

444
00:35:35,940 --> 00:35:39,260
As long as Young Master is in my heart, that is enough.

445
00:35:39,260 --> 00:35:42,220
I don’t care if I am in his heart or not.

446
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,630
Can you sit with me for a bit?

447
00:35:59,660 --> 00:36:02,140
Although we are not friends,

448
00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:04,080
we are both women.

449
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:08,920
I really hope you can understand how valuable a devoted heart is

450
00:36:09,650 --> 00:36:11,820
and how it should not be given to the wrong person.

451
00:36:11,820 --> 00:36:14,060
What do you mean?

452
00:36:15,630 --> 00:36:19,440
Women should not live to be insulted and humiliated.

453
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,450
For this love, you belittle yourself.

454
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,300
It’s not worth it.

455
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,170
I don’t understand what you are talking about.

456
00:36:32,740 --> 00:36:35,420
However, in regards to Young Master’s revenge,

457
00:36:35,420 --> 00:36:39,060
I will help him accomplish it even if I die.

458
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:44,900
Perhaps...this is my fate.

459
00:36:44,900 --> 00:36:47,300
You cannot give in to fate so easily.

460
00:36:49,030 --> 00:36:51,280
You should think carefully.

461
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,610
From a distance, you look identical to her.

462
00:37:25,060 --> 00:37:26,860
Are you afraid of death?

463
00:37:26,860 --> 00:37:31,240
For Young Master, I have no fears.

464
00:37:32,790 --> 00:37:35,800
Do not disappoint the hopes of the Liupan people.

465
00:37:42,860 --> 00:37:46,710
I will repay your kindness with my life.

466
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,600
You are a warrior of the Liupan people.

467
00:38:20,300 --> 00:38:21,990
Xiao Ye,

468
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,770
you’re so beautiful.

469
00:38:31,190 --> 00:38:35,070
We will depart soon. Are you really not afraid?

470
00:38:41,830 --> 00:38:46,690
For Young Master, I am not afraid of anything.

471
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,190
No matter what happens, I will stay with you.

472
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,710
The time has come.

473
00:39:25,060 --> 00:39:26,840
Young Master.

474
00:39:43,590 --> 00:39:48,500
Not bad. This is the emblem of an envoy.

475
00:39:48,500 --> 00:39:49,940
I knew you would have men on the inside.

476
00:39:49,940 --> 00:39:53,010
I knew that you were a smart lady.

477
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,320
Young Master, we must not miss the timing.

478
00:40:11,730 --> 00:40:13,690
This belt...

479
00:40:13,690 --> 00:40:17,890
is filled with the most deadly of toxins.

480
00:40:18,750 --> 00:40:24,440
We just need to pull on this string to start the phosphorous flames.

481
00:40:28,340 --> 00:40:33,290
Everything within 30 feet will be turned into ashes.

482
00:40:56,210 --> 00:41:01,230
From this moment on, I advise you to not move recklessly.

483
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,830
Maybe you should pray to the heavens

484
00:41:05,830 --> 00:41:08,520
that I kill Xiao Qi in one swoop.

485
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,650
That way, you can stay alive.

486
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:24,870
After tomorrow, if you and I are still alive,

487
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,390
I will take you back to the plains.

488
00:41:33,830 --> 00:41:36,430
You won’t be taking anything back.

489
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:55,820
Your Highness, although our plan is thorough, the princess consort is in their hands after all.

490
00:41:55,820 --> 00:41:58,210
- I’m afraid—
- Huai’en.

491
00:41:58,210 --> 00:42:01,040
Hu Yao is protecting Princess Consort in the shadows. Nothing will happen.

492
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,890
Hu Yao is still a woman. If they make a move,

493
00:42:03,890 --> 00:42:06,130
I’m afraid it will still be difficult for her to protect the princess consort.

494
00:42:06,130 --> 00:42:07,840
How about we send some more people?

495
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,280
That will alert the enemies

496
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:12,010
and ruin His Highness’s great plans.

497
00:42:12,010 --> 00:42:16,830
I thought that the princess consort’s safety was the most important.

498
