No need for formalities, Director Zhang.

Take a seat.

32
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:36,190

And this is?

36
00:03:48,870 --> 00:03:50,250
You don't need to ask, Director Zhang.

37
00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:51,050
I understand.

38
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,020
My late-night visit this time

39
00:03:53,540 --> 00:03:55,070
is somewhat presumptuous.

40
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Not at all.

41
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,310
Your Highness, may I ask why

42
00:04:00,030 --> 00:04:01,960
you're visiting at this time?

43
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,380
I've long heard you compiled a book

44
00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:17,480
named Compendium of Creation.

45
00:04:17,510 --> 00:04:20,000
It consists of five volumes:
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

46
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:20,480
Metal

47
00:04:21,070 --> 00:04:22,040
is metallurgy.

48
00:04:22,270 --> 00:04:22,750
Wood

49
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,920
is formations and fortifications.

50
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,510
Water covers meteorology
and water conservancy.

51
00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:28,040
Earth

52
00:04:28,420 --> 00:04:29,390
is topography.

53
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,000
It is a grand and invaluable work,

54
00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:34,600
a classified archive of Biantang

55
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,190
kept within the Manufacturing Bureau.

56
00:04:36,190 --> 00:04:37,310
I've come today

57
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,270
to borrow it.

58
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,360
Will you do me this favor?

59
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,270
Your Highness, you are the ruler

60
00:04:48,270 --> 00:04:49,520
and I am your subject.

61
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,270
This compendium I compiled

62
00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:52,950
belongs to Biantang.

63
00:04:53,250 --> 00:04:54,360
If you wish to use it,

64
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,350
I will certainly help.

65
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,750
However,

66
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,480
it falls under the Manufacturing Bureau,

67
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,680
a highly confidential office.

68
00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:06,270
You would need an imperial decree
from His Majesty,

69
00:05:06,270 --> 00:05:08,350
and with that I will certainly help.

70
00:05:17,390 --> 00:05:19,680
Lord Zhang, you've served
as an official for years,

71
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,800
so you are naturally no stranger
to the affairs of the imperial court.

72
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,930
You should know that

73
00:05:24,250 --> 00:05:26,720
some matters are appropriate
for requesting a decree,

74
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,560
and some are not.

75
00:05:30,190 --> 00:05:31,720
Since I am the Crown Prince,

76
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,830
I'm the future ruler of Biantang.

77
00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:37,000
Helping me would not be considered
overstepping.

78
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,720
And I will certainly
reward you handsomely.

79
00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:40,920
What do you say?

80
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:48,740
I-If that's the case, Your Highness,

81
00:05:48,740 --> 00:05:50,620
I understand.

82
00:05:50,750 --> 00:05:52,409
But I have one question to ask.

83
00:05:52,630 --> 00:05:54,240
If you answer truthfully,

84
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,830
I will certainly help.

85
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:56,800
Feel free to ask.

86
00:05:59,070 --> 00:06:01,920
Your Highness, what do you intend to use

87
00:06:03,190 --> 00:06:04,990

Your Highness,

91
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,560
since Lord Zhang has his difficulties,

92
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,560
we shouldn't force him.

93
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,340
Why don't we...

94
00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:27,130

What do we do now?

102
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,290
How do we get out?

103
00:07:16,430 --> 00:07:17,270
Cover up.

104
00:07:17,750 --> 00:07:18,680
Why?

105
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,140
Cover up your face with it.

106
00:07:22,190 --> 00:07:22,950
What's the point of this?

107
00:07:22,950 --> 00:07:23,600
Be quiet.

108
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,320

00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,190
Can you slow down?

117
00:07:57,190 --> 00:07:58,050
I can't keep up.

118
00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:59,040
If you say one more word,

119
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,850
you're on your own!

134
00:08:30,290 --> 00:08:31,800
I haven't seen any literary talent
from you.

135
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,409
How dare you call yourself a scholar?

136
00:08:33,409 --> 00:08:34,049

why are you here?

142
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,440
I guessed you'd fall into
the Empress's trap.

195
00:12:55,150 --> 00:12:56,630
Let's find a place to hide first.

196
00:12:56,630 --> 00:12:57,840
There's a hiding spot up ahead.

197
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,870
I'll take you there.

198
00:12:58,870 --> 00:12:59,480
Okay.

199
00:12:59,910 --> 00:13:00,840
-Let's go.
-Let's go.

200
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,550
Once we get there,

201
00:13:01,550 --> 00:13:02,440
I'll draw the pursuers away,

202
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,770
and you wait for an opportunity to escape.

203
00:13:53,310 --> 00:13:53,910
Qiao,

204
00:13:54,030 --> 00:13:54,910
I'm injured.

205
00:13:55,150 --> 00:13:55,750
Look.

206
00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:57,720
Injured?

207
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,550
It's just a scrape.

208
00:13:59,550 --> 00:14:00,440
No.

209
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:01,720
It hurts a lot.

210
00:14:02,070 --> 00:14:03,000
Look carefully.

211
00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:04,020
What's going on?

212
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,120
Let me see.

213
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Look closely.

214
00:14:09,510 --> 00:14:10,910
Why does it hurt so much?

215
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,760
I feel dizzy, my vision is blurry,

216
00:14:13,790 --> 00:14:16,120
my legs are weak,
and my hands are shaking.

217
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,620
I think I have internal injuries.

218
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:19,030
Oh, no.

219
00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:21,000
I can't even stand anymore.

220
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:22,270
I can't stand.

221
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:26,410
Feeling better?

222
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,270
It's getting worse.

223
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,980
Let me lean on you a little longer.

224
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,720
Qiao,

225
00:14:40,910 --> 00:14:42,170
where did Zhuge Yue go?

226
00:15:29,750 --> 00:15:31,270
Are you saying that the Crown Prince
was wearing a veil

227
00:15:31,270 --> 00:15:32,430
when he fled,

228
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,560
and none of you saw his face?

229
00:15:35,270 --> 00:15:36,720
It was too dark at the time.

230
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,720
We could only judge from his figure.

231
00:15:38,790 --> 00:15:41,000
It should have been His Highness.

232
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,910
Not only did you fail to catch him,

233
00:15:42,910 --> 00:15:44,650
but you also didn't see his face clearly.

234
00:15:44,650 --> 00:15:46,310
What's the use of keeping you?

235
00:15:47,030 --> 00:15:47,670
Guards!

236
00:15:52,030 --> 00:15:52,870
Drag them out.

237
00:15:53,910 --> 00:15:54,670
Kill them.

238
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,200
Spare us, Your Majesty!

239
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,000
Your Majesty, have mercy!

240
00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:59,670
Spare us!

241
00:16:00,510 --> 00:16:02,640
Your Majesty! Your Majesty, spare us!

242
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,550
Spare us!

243
00:16:03,550 --> 00:16:04,750
Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!

244
00:16:04,750 --> 00:16:06,880
Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!

245
00:16:06,910 --> 00:16:08,440
Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!

246
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,120
Get out! Get out, all of you!

247
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:11,320
Get out!

248
00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:21,070
Your Majesty.

249
00:16:21,750 --> 00:16:22,750
I failed you.

250
00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:27,240
If you're really too angry, punish me.

251
00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:40,270
What's the use of beating you to death?

252
00:16:40,270 --> 00:16:42,200
Will that get me the evidence
that the Crown Prince colluded

253
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,910
with a foreign power
and stole the archives?

254
00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:45,710
Your life isn't worth that much!

255
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,750
My life is worth nothing,

256
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,750
but it belongs to you.

257
00:16:52,910 --> 00:16:55,550
What I need is to get rid of him.

258
00:16:55,870 --> 00:16:57,150
If you can't do that,

259
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,790
you're useless to me!

260
00:16:59,270 --> 00:17:00,150
I can testify!

261
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,630
I did see the Crown Prince.

262
00:17:03,270 --> 00:17:05,550
It was him who broke into
the Manufacturing Bureau at night.

263
00:17:05,550 --> 00:17:06,880
You can testify?

264
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,010
Who do you think you are?

265
00:17:11,349 --> 00:17:12,310
Without me,

266
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,750
would His Majesty
listen to a word you say?

267
00:17:14,750 --> 00:17:15,829
Who do you think you are

268
00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:17,920
to accuse the Crown Prince of Biantang?

269
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,030
I'm telling you,

270
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,640
you didn't bring back any witnesses
or material evidence today.

271
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,960
Even if your subordinates swear

272
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,920
that the Crown Prince broke into
the Manufacturing Bureau at night,

273
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,579
His Majesty won't believe it.

274
00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:29,720
He will only turn a blind eye

275
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:30,680
and brush me off.

276
00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:32,680
For him,

277
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,310
bloodline and the throne
are the most important.

278
00:17:35,310 --> 00:17:38,200
I am just a woman.

279
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,240
Your Majesty.

280
00:17:45,510 --> 00:17:46,720
We haven't lost.

281
00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:48,680
We still have Ziming.

282
00:17:51,030 --> 00:17:52,920
And the child in her womb.

283
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,200
Greetings, Your Majesty.

284
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,240
May Your Majesty enjoy good health.

285
00:18:07,510 --> 00:18:08,550
Look up.

286
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,260
Are you really pregnant with Ce's child?

287
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,940
I dare not deceive you, Your Majesty.

288
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:25,270
It is indeed the Crown Prince's kid.

289
00:18:25,790 --> 00:18:27,050
Since that's the case,

290
00:18:27,310 --> 00:18:28,940
you should move out
of the Crown Prince's Mansion.

291
00:18:28,940 --> 00:18:31,390
[Boque Palace]

292
00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:30,640
Yes.

293
00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:39,490
We uncovered everything.

294
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:41,790
Lady Ziming's original surname was Zhan.

295
00:18:41,790 --> 00:18:43,830
She is Zhan Ziyu's biological sister,

296
00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:44,400
and also the Empress's

297
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,640
deepest planted spy

298
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,370
in the Crown Prince's Mansion.

299
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,030
After her identity was exposed,

300
00:18:49,030 --> 00:18:50,270
she left on her own.

301
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,380
I was born as the Crown Prince.

302
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,110
Living in the palace, I've always known
danger is everywhere.

303
00:18:57,110 --> 00:19:00,310
I never dared to easily reveal
my true feelings to anyone.

304
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:02,070
But Ziming…

305
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,240
I thought she was different.

306
00:19:08,350 --> 00:19:09,550
Stop! Don't run!

307
00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:10,910
Stop!

308
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,490
How dare you run!

309
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,680
Keep running!

310
00:19:18,790 --> 00:19:19,510
Stop!

311
00:19:24,550 --> 00:19:26,060
Go back and tell your master

312
00:19:26,060 --> 00:19:26,970
that I bought

313
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,140
this slave.

314
00:19:51,030 --> 00:19:51,590
Li Ce,

315
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:52,880
I promised you

316
00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:54,550
that once we rescue He Xiao,

317
00:19:54,550 --> 00:19:55,920
I would regroup

318
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,060
and help you reclaim your rightful power
as Crown Prince of Biantang.

319
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,010
Burn all of Lady Ziming's belongings.

320
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,260
Your Highness.

321
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,350
These are battle reports
from various regions

322
00:21:05,350 --> 00:21:06,880
of Great Yong and Great Yan.

323
00:21:09,850 --> 00:21:13,050
It seems they are preparing
to exchange prisoners of war.

324
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,520
There's nothing important.

325
00:21:25,790 --> 00:21:27,830
Since the Compendium of Creation
has been found,

326
00:21:27,830 --> 00:21:29,030
take some rest first.

327
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,590
We will enter the palace today
to bid farewell

328
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:33,390
and depart for Ximeng tomorrow.

329
00:21:50,790 --> 00:21:52,120
[Great Yong and Great Yan are set to
exchange prisoners of war in a border valley]

330
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:53,450
[at the end of the month. There may be
further actions to follow.]

331
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,720
Let's make a deal.

332
00:22:06,350 --> 00:22:07,480
I need 20 days.

333
00:22:08,350 --> 00:22:09,270
After 20 days,

334
00:22:10,460 --> 00:22:11,660
I will leave with you.

335
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,480
Why should I make a deal with you?

336
00:22:16,030 --> 00:22:19,630
If you bring back the Compendium of Creation
with missing pages,

337
00:22:19,750 --> 00:22:22,010
do you think King Ximeng will let you off?

338
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:33,880
Zhuge Yue.

339
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,680
You think you're threatening me?

340
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,920
Your poisoning relapsed yesterday

341
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,030
because we have already passed
the agreed time.

342
00:22:40,030 --> 00:22:41,360
If you go another 10 days

343
00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:43,530
without the Blood on Snow,

344
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:44,830
you will die.

345
00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:46,310
There are some things

346
00:22:47,330 --> 00:22:48,440
I must do.

347
00:22:56,110 --> 00:22:57,770
I'll give you one last chance.

348
00:22:59,030 --> 00:23:00,220
Give me the compendium

349
00:23:00,220 --> 00:23:01,820
and go back to Ximeng with me.

350
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:02,830
You know

351
00:23:03,900 --> 00:23:05,010
you can't kill me.

352
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:11,240
It's for that Chu Qiao again, isn't it?

353
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,300
I want you to help me do two things.

354
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,240
First,

355
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,510
find out

356
00:23:25,830 --> 00:23:28,310
if there is a man named He Xiao
among the prisoners

357
00:23:28,310 --> 00:23:30,440
handed over to Great Yan by Great Yong.

358
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:31,330
Second,

359
00:23:31,750 --> 00:23:32,550
if there is,

360
00:23:33,070 --> 00:23:34,510
I need 20 days

361
00:23:35,030 --> 00:23:36,030
to save this man.

362
00:23:36,270 --> 00:23:37,800
You don't have to go with me.

363
00:23:38,110 --> 00:23:39,160
Just stay in Tangjing

364
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,680
and buy me some time.

365
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,310
As long as you help me
complete these 2 things,

366
00:23:45,310 --> 00:23:47,790
I will also help you
accomplish the 2 things

367
00:23:48,990 --> 00:23:50,450
King Ximeng assigned you.

368
00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:52,680
Hurry up!

369
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,270
Get in line!

370
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:58,310
Keep up!

371
00:23:59,790 --> 00:24:00,400
Hurry!

372
00:24:01,750 --> 00:24:02,480
Keep up!

373
00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:04,950
What's all the noise?

374
00:24:08,510 --> 00:24:09,200
Elder.

375
00:24:10,110 --> 00:24:11,040
I have been ordered

376
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,440
to dispatch an elite unit
to escort prisoners of war.

377
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,640
We are pressed for time,

378
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,680
I apologize

379
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,070
for disturbing your rest.

380
00:24:17,070 --> 00:24:18,600
Making a fuss over nothing.

381
00:24:19,270 --> 00:24:21,880
They're just a few dying men.
Why do you need a whole unit for that?

382
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:22,550
Yes.

383
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,440
We've also been ordered
to assign 2 fast horses each

384
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,170
and rush to the main camp first.

385
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,270
We've been instructed
to reach Lincheng within 5 days.

386
00:24:29,270 --> 00:24:31,000
Reach Lincheng in 5 days?

387
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,170
Are they trying to run the men and horses
to death?

388
00:24:34,170 --> 00:24:36,020
Who the hell gave this order?

389
00:24:36,590 --> 00:24:37,920
Mind your words, Elder.

390
00:24:38,030 --> 00:24:39,630
This is His Majesty's order.

391
00:24:41,550 --> 00:24:43,210
Then I'd like to ask him myself

392
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,510
whether the lives
of our Lanchuan soldiers are worthless!

393
00:24:46,510 --> 00:24:47,510
Prepare my horse!

394
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,040
Your Majesty,

395
00:24:59,550 --> 00:25:02,270
the scent of Platycladi seeds can
calm your mind and nourish your energy.

396
00:25:02,270 --> 00:25:04,030
It can also soothe your nerves.

397
00:25:07,590 --> 00:25:08,350
Your Majesty,

398
00:25:08,350 --> 00:25:09,540
Elder Lanchuan requests an audience.

399
00:25:09,540 --> 00:25:10,350
I won't see him.

400
00:25:10,350 --> 00:25:12,750
Your Majesty,
is it because you feel guilty

401
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,330
that you dare not see me?

402
00:25:14,810 --> 00:25:16,670
Lincheng is far from the Capital.

403
00:25:16,790 --> 00:25:17,880
Why are we taking the risk of losing

404
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,110
our elite soldiers and fine horses

405
00:25:19,110 --> 00:25:21,220
just to escort a few death-row prisoners
of Great Yong?

406
00:25:21,220 --> 00:25:23,700
Are the lives of Great Yan warriors

407
00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:25,550
worth less than a few dying men?

408
00:25:25,550 --> 00:25:27,280
Do I need to explain my thoughts

409
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,880
to you one by one?

410
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,680
Your Majesty, ever since your recovery,

411
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,000
you've become like a different person.

412
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,110
Not only do you want a truce
with Great Yong,

413
00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:36,680
but now you also want to exchange
prisoners of war with them.

414
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,200
Everything you've done
goes against your previous nature.

415
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:39,720
Do you think

416
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,830
we elders are so blind

417
00:25:41,830 --> 00:25:43,720
that we can't see your intentions?

418
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,680
You simply want to exchange

419
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,160
for He Xiao, the Xiuli Army general,

420
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,520
so you can lure a woman here.

421
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,240
Cheng Yuan!

422
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,590
Drag this outspoken Elder Lanchuan

423
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,680
out of here.

424
00:25:55,310 --> 00:25:56,110
Your Majesty,

425
00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:58,110
General Cheng is no longer here.

426
00:25:58,750 --> 00:26:00,160
See Elder Lanchuan out.

427
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:00,920
Guards!

428
00:26:04,350 --> 00:26:05,440
Who dares to touch me!

429
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:06,270
No need for it!

430
00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:07,960
I will leave on my own!

431
00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:14,750
Your Majesty, you're in a bad mood.

432
00:26:14,750 --> 00:26:17,810
How about going for
a horseback ride with me to cheer up?

433
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:32,100
You lost again.

434
00:26:32,430 --> 00:26:34,030
I just learned how to ride.

435
00:26:34,270 --> 00:26:36,200
Your Majesty, you're bullying me.

436
00:26:36,830 --> 00:26:38,160
Then I will let you win.

437
00:26:38,790 --> 00:26:39,350
Let's go!

438
00:26:45,830 --> 00:26:46,550
Stop.

439
00:26:47,550 --> 00:26:48,310
Turn around.

440
00:26:54,590 --> 00:26:55,280
Cheng Yuan?

441
00:26:56,210 --> 00:26:57,140
Why are you here?

442
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,330
Your Majesty, you don't want to see me,

443
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:00,480
so I will leave.

444
00:27:07,570 --> 00:27:08,720
I'm asking you!

445
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,440
Your Majesty,

446
00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:12,950
I have joined the army
since I was a child.

447
00:27:12,950 --> 00:27:15,030
The military camp of Great Yan is my home.

448
00:27:15,030 --> 00:27:17,360
The Black Eagle Army and you
are my family.

449
00:27:17,830 --> 00:27:19,030
Great Yan is so large,

450
00:27:19,750 --> 00:27:21,550
but I don't know where to go.

451
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,200
The racecourse is the closest place
to the military camp.

452
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,160
I found a job here

453
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:40,360
to make a living.

454
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,680
I never thought I would meet you here.

455
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,310
Your Majesty,
just pretend you didn't see me today.

456
00:27:47,310 --> 00:27:48,590
I will leave now...

457
00:27:49,510 --> 00:27:50,640
and never come back.

458
00:28:02,070 --> 00:28:02,750
Guards!

459
00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:13,040
Prepare a horse for General Cheng!

460
00:28:41,580 --> 00:28:42,210
My Lady,

461
00:28:42,270 --> 00:28:43,510
let me do it.

462
00:28:43,610 --> 00:28:45,810
Or just let the maids and servants do it.

463
00:28:46,030 --> 00:28:47,270
If you get too tired,

464
00:28:47,270 --> 00:28:49,000
the Prince of Luo will blame us.

465
00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:50,640
I stay here all day

466
00:28:50,790 --> 00:28:52,450
and have nothing to do anyway.

467
00:28:53,030 --> 00:28:55,290
I might as well help out with some chores.

468
00:29:00,550 --> 00:29:02,750
Miss, you look different
these past few days.

469
00:29:02,750 --> 00:29:03,750
How so?

470
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:04,830
You smile more,

471
00:29:04,830 --> 00:29:06,590
and you've become more beautiful.

472
00:29:06,590 --> 00:29:07,590
But it makes sense.

473
00:29:07,590 --> 00:29:08,830
I've never seen His Highness

474
00:29:08,830 --> 00:29:10,690
care so much about anyone before.

475
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,590
[Portrait of Zhao Chun'er,
Princess of Great Yong]

476
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,720
Let me go!

477
00:29:29,830 --> 00:29:31,230
Chun'er, let me explain.

478
00:29:32,070 --> 00:29:33,640
You've known who I am for a long time.

479
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,310
How long were you planning
to hide it from me?

480
00:29:35,310 --> 00:29:37,240
What's your real purpose in treating me
so well, always attending to me,

481
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,510
and caring toward me?

482
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:39,830
Chun'er!

483
00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:42,350
I got that portrait by chance
a few days ago.

484
00:29:42,350 --> 00:29:43,000
I didn't tell you

485
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:43,680
because I knew

486
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,290
you didn't want to talk about your past,

487
00:29:45,290 --> 00:29:47,420
and I didn't want to remind you of that.

488
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:48,480
I didn't mean to hide it.

489
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,350
Stop talking!

490
00:29:49,780 --> 00:29:51,510
I will never believe you again!

491
00:30:16,510 --> 00:30:17,770
Someone's robbing me!

492
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,790
Help!

493
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:19,960
Help!

494
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:21,830
Someone is robbing me!

495
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:23,880
Help!

496
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,270
I was robbed!

497
00:30:27,860 --> 00:30:28,730
Help!

498
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,160
In broad daylight,

499
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,790
how dare you rob someone in the street!

500
00:30:37,790 --> 00:30:38,720
Get lost!

501
00:30:41,150 --> 00:30:41,780
Miss,

502
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,330
this jade pendant is yours, right?

503
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,330
This area is often frequented by merchants
from beyond the borders,

504
00:30:52,330 --> 00:30:54,030
and there's all kinds of people around.

505
00:30:54,030 --> 00:30:55,400
A young lady like you
should be more careful

506
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:56,660
when you're out alone.

507
00:30:57,990 --> 00:30:58,640
Miss?

508
00:30:59,510 --> 00:31:00,570
Your jade pendant.

509
00:31:01,510 --> 00:31:02,870
What's wrong with you?

510
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
You didn't even thank our Princess.

511
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:10,270
Princess.

512
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:15,440
This girl...

513
00:31:16,110 --> 00:31:17,840
looks a bit like someone I know.

514
00:31:19,370 --> 00:31:20,170
It's alright.

515
00:31:21,030 --> 00:31:21,880
Let's go.

516
00:31:22,350 --> 00:31:22,960
Yes.

517
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:31,530
How is it?

518
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:32,920
Is there any news?

519
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,070
For the past half month,

520
00:31:35,070 --> 00:31:37,680
I've asked many friends to gather
information in Zhenhuangcheng,

521
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,080
but there's been no news.

522
00:31:40,550 --> 00:31:41,410
What about you?

523
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,110
Me too.

524
00:31:42,110 --> 00:31:43,270
I think it's very strange.

525
00:31:43,270 --> 00:31:44,680
When I was a wandering physician,

526
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,960
I got to know quite a few people.

527
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,480
Not just people from the martial world,

528
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,310
but also nobles and aristocrats.

529
00:31:49,310 --> 00:31:50,350
But for some reason,

530
00:31:50,350 --> 00:31:51,550
none of them have heard of He Xiao

531
00:31:51,550 --> 00:31:52,720
in the prisoner of war camps
they've inquired about.

532
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,350
He Xiao is now a prisoner of war
under Zhao Che's command.

533
00:31:55,350 --> 00:31:57,350
Zhao Che has always been strict
with his army.

534
00:31:57,350 --> 00:31:58,750
If you're not in his army,

535
00:31:58,790 --> 00:32:00,920
it's very hard to get any information.

536
00:32:04,030 --> 00:32:04,830
Who are you?

537
00:32:05,510 --> 00:32:06,510
What do you want?

538
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:09,860
I'm here to see your princess.

539
00:32:14,350 --> 00:32:15,880
Great Yong and Great Yan
have agreed to exchange

540
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,200
a batch of prisoners of war in Lincheng,

541
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,880
which is near Baichuan, in ten days.

542
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,310
I've already had people inquire about

543
00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:22,200
the list of these prisoners of war.

544
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,480
He Xiao is indeed on it.

545
00:32:24,550 --> 00:32:26,340
Yan Xun has called a truce
with Great Yong for months,

546
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:29,160
and he's been continuously sending
the Black Eagle Army to search for you.

547
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:30,750
The real purpose

548
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:33,570
of this prisoner exchange
should be He Xiao.

549
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,450
Thank you for the information.

550
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,160
How will you save him?

551
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,440
How do you know I'm going to save him?

552
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,640
You've been secretly training troops
in this restaurant for Li Ce,

553
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,440
and you disguised yourself
as Princess Fu in Tangjing.

554
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,470
Is it because you're fond of
the luxurious life

555
00:32:50,470 --> 00:32:51,720
in the Crown Prince's Mansion,

556
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,520
or because you want to get involved
in Biantang's palace intrigues?

557
00:32:56,270 --> 00:32:57,670
Aren't you doing all this

558
00:32:57,750 --> 00:33:00,000
just so that when you finally get news
of He Xiao,

559
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,060
you can go save him?

560
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,310
Yes.

561
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:03,680
You're right.

562
00:33:05,210 --> 00:33:06,660
But this is my business.

563
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,760
It has nothing to do with you.

564
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,770
Lincheng is at least

565
00:33:13,070 --> 00:33:14,720
15 days' journey from Tangjing.

566
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:15,510
Even if you set off immediately,

567
00:33:15,510 --> 00:33:17,270
you won't make it in time before Great Yan

568
00:33:17,270 --> 00:33:17,960
takes He Xiao away.

569
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,790
You can only
take the Biantang official road,

570
00:33:19,790 --> 00:33:22,000
switch to the waterway halfway,
and go through Qingluan Pass

571
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,860
to arrive exactly within 10 days.

572
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,200
But the official road
requires an imperial pass.

573
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:26,880
How can I take it?

574
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:28,830
Under the name of the Ximeng envoy team,

575
00:33:28,830 --> 00:33:30,890
as an attendant to Crown Prince Li Ce.

576
00:33:35,580 --> 00:33:36,440
Your Highness!

577
00:33:39,270 --> 00:33:39,880
Your Highness!

578
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:40,790
We found Miss Chun'er.

579
00:33:40,790 --> 00:33:41,640
Where did you find her?

580
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:42,510
Did you have people bring her back?

581
00:33:42,510 --> 00:33:44,030
She came back on her own.

582
00:33:44,030 --> 00:33:45,880
She's in her room now.

583
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:04,240
Chunxing.

584
00:34:04,750 --> 00:34:05,400
Come here.

585
00:34:16,090 --> 00:34:17,650
Is this Princess Fu?

586
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,840
Princess Fu?

587
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:19,880
Yes.

588
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,540
She was close to our prince
when they were young.

589
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:23,960
But...

590
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,960
But later, she met with misfortune
along with Prince of Pingnan

591
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,000
and was gone for many years.

592
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,530
After returning,
she became distant from us.

593
00:34:32,590 --> 00:34:33,850
Is she in Tangjing now?

594
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:34,880
Yes.

595
00:34:35,150 --> 00:34:36,880
I heard that since she came back,

596
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,840
she has been staying
at the Crown Prince's Mansion.

597
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:39,920
The Crown Prince likes her

598
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,440
and wants to marry her.

599
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:42,400
Chun'er!

600
00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:49,840
Chun'er,

601
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,190
where have you been these past two days?

602
00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:53,650
I was so worried about you.

603
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:01,510
Chun'er.

604
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,610
Chun'er, what's wrong?

605
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,280
Did something happen?

606
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:09,880
You like me, right?

607
00:35:11,780 --> 00:35:14,450
Then marry me as your consort.

608
00:35:15,150 --> 00:35:17,150
I want to be Princess Consort of Luo.

609
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:34,390
Your Majesty.

610
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:53,810
General Shiyan.

611
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:55,960
Here!

612
00:36:04,710 --> 00:36:06,040
Great Yan and Great Yong

613
00:36:06,230 --> 00:36:07,690
have been at war for years,

614
00:36:07,710 --> 00:36:09,370
and the people are exhausted.

615
00:36:09,590 --> 00:36:10,790
This journey of yours

616
00:36:10,930 --> 00:36:13,260
is to bring back Great Yan's lost generals

617
00:36:13,590 --> 00:36:14,720
and soldiers for me,

618
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:16,760
end the war with Great Yong,

619
00:36:17,050 --> 00:36:19,110
and bring even a brief moment of peace

620
00:36:19,850 --> 00:36:21,710
to the countless people of Great Yan!

621
00:36:21,710 --> 00:36:22,770
Yes, Your Majesty!

622
00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:29,830
We will not fail our mission!

623
00:36:30,150 --> 00:36:31,550
We will not fail our mission!

624
00:36:31,550 --> 00:36:33,150
We will not fail our mission!

625
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:36,000
We will not fail our mission!

626
00:36:38,790 --> 00:36:39,580
Lord Cheng.

627
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,400
This is the list for the prisoners of war

628
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,880
exchange between Great Yan and Great Yong,

629
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,190
along with the compensation

630
00:36:44,190 --> 00:36:45,090
for the wounded.

631
00:36:45,090 --> 00:36:46,090
Please review it.

632
00:36:56,330 --> 00:36:58,470
[He Xiao]

633
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,360
Since your presence here
is Her Majesty's goodwill,

634
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:27,670
we will travel

635
00:37:27,670 --> 00:37:28,760
with you.

636
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:30,470
Lord Zhan!

637
00:37:30,500 --> 00:37:31,500
Wait!

638
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:32,960
Zhao Chun'er.

639
00:37:33,340 --> 00:37:35,880
Why are you claiming to be
the Princess Consort of Luo

640
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,480
personally appointed by me?

641
00:37:40,510 --> 00:37:41,470
Chu Qiao,

642
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:43,360
rest in peace.
