the capital prefecture's office is handling a case.
5
00:02:10,930 --> 00:02:12,290
How dare you obstruct us?
6
00:02:12,290 --> 00:02:15,010
So what if it's the capital prefecture's office?
7
00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:17,010
Without my approval today,
8
00:02:17,810 --> 00:02:19,330
you won't take anyone away.
9
00:02:19,410 --> 00:02:21,660
What if I insist on taking him away today?

00:02:28,060 --> 00:02:29,820

00:02:52,290 --> 00:02:53,410
I'm taking him back
14
00:02:53,730 --> 00:02:55,290
to investigate an old case.
15
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:57,560
If he isn't Shangguan Baihe,
16
00:02:57,630 --> 00:02:59,350
I will release him.
17
00:02:59,850 --> 00:03:01,260
But if he is—
18
00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:02,760

Calm down.

00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:21,140
It's alright, Chief.
25

The innocent have nothing to fear.
26
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,700
Since I'm innocent,
27
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,720
what harm is there in going with him?
28
00:03:31,220 --> 00:03:32,480

It's Madam.

She invited a matchmaker to the house
51

and insisted on getting Miss Yiting's birthdate to arrange a marriage for her.

Just tell me!

She said she wants to make things irreversible

On the way here,
71
00:05:52,570 --> 00:05:53,570
I was wondering

if you wanted to see me one last time.
73
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:00,740

00:06:01,570 --> 00:06:03,370

but I want you to be honest with me one last time.

00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:06,960
What's going on?

00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:07,880

Zijin Pavilion

is where I came with my father as a child.
97
00:07:26,620 --> 00:07:28,620
It's where my father
98
00:07:29,130 --> 00:07:31,380
and Yimeng's mother pledged their love.
99
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,130
That day,
100
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:36,210
it was also snowing heavily.
101
00:07:36,940 --> 00:07:38,460
I didn't listen to my father
102
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,930
and wait in the corridor;
103
00:07:40,740 --> 00:07:42,500
I sneaked into the hall.
104
00:07:43,490 --> 00:07:44,500
Unexpectedly,
105
00:07:45,310 --> 00:07:47,150
I saw my father crying.
106
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,700
Since I was old enough to remember things,
107
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:52,180
my mother told me
108
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:55,390
Yimeng's mother came from a humble background.
109
00:07:55,620 --> 00:07:56,640
But that day,
110
00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:58,810
I was curious for the first time—
111
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:01,260
what kind of love
112
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,450
could make a proud Minister of War
113
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,850
hold his late wife's memorial tablet
114
00:08:06,850 --> 00:08:08,320
in this broken house
115
00:08:08,820 --> 00:08:10,210
and cry uncontrollably?
116
00:08:10,860 --> 00:08:12,710
I understand what you're saying.
117
00:08:12,860 --> 00:08:13,640
You want to find someone
118
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,130
like your father.
119
00:08:16,500 --> 00:08:17,380
But Miss Song,
120
00:08:17,940 --> 00:08:19,870
can we talk about this another day?
121
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,740
Without a soulmate,
122
00:08:24,010 --> 00:08:25,940
wandering the world alone is fine.
123
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,820
But after meeting you,
124
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,030
I feel that
125
00:08:29,420 --> 00:08:31,950
spending time with you
126
00:08:32,300 --> 00:08:33,700
would be a good thing.
127
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,820
Mr. Li,
128
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:37,520
I don't know
129
00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:39,520
what I like about you.
130
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,740
Maybe I just don't want to enter a blind marriage
131
00:08:42,820 --> 00:08:44,420
with someone I don't love.
132
00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:48,090
That man
133
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,240
matches my status,
134
00:08:50,540 --> 00:08:52,720
but it's only a match of status.
135
00:08:57,140 --> 00:08:58,780
Having witnessed true love,
136
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:01,620
how could one settle for less?
137
00:09:03,580 --> 00:09:04,400
Mr. Li,
138
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,300
are you the one I should wait for?
139
00:09:15,450 --> 00:09:16,240
Miss Song,
140
00:09:16,900 --> 00:09:17,660
I can't
141
00:09:17,660 --> 00:09:19,060
give you an answer today.
142
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,100
How about this?
143
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:22,140
Wait a few more days,
144
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:24,270
and I believe you'll find your answer.
145
00:09:25,570 --> 00:09:27,090
What if I don't want to wait?
146
00:09:29,450 --> 00:09:30,240
I'm sorry.
147
00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:47,940
It's the incense.
148
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,900

Miss Song.
152
00:10:03,700 --> 00:10:04,700
Please calm down.
153
00:10:04,900 --> 00:10:05,900
Please calm down.
154
00:10:06,570 --> 00:10:07,310
Miss Song...
155
00:10:08,540 --> 00:10:09,320
I'm sorry.
156
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,320
I'm sorry!
157
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:12,690
Miss Song!
158

The snow is too heavy.
159
00:10:16,420 --> 00:10:17,080
Yimeng,
160
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,060
you should go back.
161
00:10:18,060 --> 00:10:18,820
I know the place;
162
00:10:18,820 --> 00:10:19,820
I can go by myself.
163
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,020
No.
164
00:10:21,450 --> 00:10:23,300
Since I'm already in this world,
165
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:25,320
I have to stop her from making a mistake.
166
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,140
Otherwise,
167
00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:28,750
I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
168
00:10:55,420 --> 00:10:56,080

169
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:56,960
Miss Song!
170
00:10:57,180 --> 00:10:58,840
If you don't want to marry Nan Rui, there are plenty of ways.
171
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,940
You don't have to go down this path
172
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:01,300
and ruin your reputation.
173
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:01,940
Without Nan Rui,
174
00:11:01,940 --> 00:11:03,720
my mother would make me marry someone else.
175
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,200
I want the whole world to know
176
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,700
that I'm an immoral woman.
177
00:11:06,700 --> 00:11:08,420
That way, from the emperor to commoners,
178
00:11:08,420 --> 00:11:09,540
no one will be able to control me anymore!
179
00:11:09,540 --> 00:11:10,080
I'm sorry!
180
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:10,780
Don't!
181
00:11:10,780 --> 00:11:11,540
Wait.
182
00:11:11,570 --> 00:11:13,140
You said you liked me,
183
00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:13,700
but you don't
184
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:14,700
even show the basic respect—
185
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:15,600
how can that be called liking?
186
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,940
I really have no other choice.
187
00:11:16,940 --> 00:11:17,300
Don't!
188
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:17,780
I'm sorry!
189
00:11:17,780 --> 00:11:18,570
Please don't!
190
00:11:33,050 --> 00:11:34,270
Seventh Prince?

00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:33,630
Was it the Seventh Prince Nan Heng
381
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
who helped you?
382
00:19:36,770 --> 00:19:38,390
Not long after you escaped,
383
00:19:38,540 --> 00:19:40,700
you appeared in Waning River Crescent.
384
00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:41,760
You and Li Shiliu
385
00:19:42,170 --> 00:19:43,830
are both working for Nan Heng.
386
00:19:44,140 --> 00:19:46,720
Is he running Waning River Crescent with great effort
387
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,450
to secure the succession?
388
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,040
Yes.
389
00:19:54,940 --> 00:19:56,280
But not entirely.
390
00:20:01,020 --> 00:20:02,020
What do you mean?
391
00:20:03,850 --> 00:20:05,410
It is for the succession,
392
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,440
but not for himself—
393
00:20:07,730 --> 00:20:08,900
it's for
394
00:20:11,470 --> 00:20:13,560
the Eighteenth Prince.
395
00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:16,130
The power behind Waning River Crescent
396
00:20:16,130 --> 00:20:18,090
is the Eighteenth Prince,
397
00:20:18,220 --> 00:20:19,620
Nan Rui.
398
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,240
How dare you!
399
00:20:30,660 --> 00:20:32,420
Falsely accusing a prince
400
00:20:32,980 --> 00:20:35,190
is a serious crime punishable by exile.
401
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:37,960
I'm telling the truth.
402
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,630
How is that false accusation?
403
00:20:41,910 --> 00:20:42,990
I see.
404
00:20:43,420 --> 00:20:46,270
You've never gotten along with the Seventh Prince.
405
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:47,940
And everyone in Qianyu Army
406
00:20:47,940 --> 00:20:50,280
follows the Eighteenth Prince's lead.
407
00:20:50,610 --> 00:20:53,800
Are you trying to use me as a pawn
408
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,680
to frame the Seventh Prince?
409
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,720
You should've just said so.
410
00:21:00,590 --> 00:21:02,210
If you promise to release me,
411
00:21:02,230 --> 00:21:04,240
I'll go with you to His Majesty
412
00:21:04,260 --> 00:21:05,920
and slander Nan Heng.
413
00:21:06,660 --> 00:21:07,510
What do you say?
414
00:21:11,020 --> 00:21:13,140
Our general wants the truth.
415
00:21:13,490 --> 00:21:14,960
If you keep talking nonsense,
416

I'll beat your teeth out!
417

No matter whether I cooperate with you
418
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,200
or not, you're never satisfied.
419
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:22,140
Mr. Chu,
420
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,860
what exactly do you want?
421
00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:26,420
I'm telling you,
422
00:21:26,780 --> 00:21:28,060
cases involving princes
423
00:21:28,060 --> 00:21:29,420
must be jointly investigated and tried
424
00:21:29,420 --> 00:21:30,880
by the Three Departments.
425
00:21:31,420 --> 00:21:32,960
So I'll need to testify
426
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,140
before His Majesty?
427
00:21:36,110 --> 00:21:36,910
What if
428
00:21:37,410 --> 00:21:39,740
I suddenly change my statement there,
429
00:21:40,020 --> 00:21:42,610
saying you, Chu Guihong, forced me to confess falsely
430
00:21:42,610 --> 00:21:44,340
and framed the Seventh Prince?
431
00:21:45,210 --> 00:21:47,010
What would happen to you
432
00:21:47,420 --> 00:21:48,730
and your Qianyu Army?
433
00:21:59,830 --> 00:22:01,160
Keep a close watch on him
434
00:22:01,810 --> 00:22:03,680
and wait for His Majesty's decree
435
00:22:03,940 --> 00:22:05,200
to execute him.
436
00:22:06,860 --> 00:22:07,660
General.
437
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:22,140
General,
438
00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:24,620
are we really going to let him die so easily?
439
00:22:24,620 --> 00:22:25,340
How about
440
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:27,140
I find some torturers
441
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,520
to interrogate him again?
442
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:29,340
No need.
443
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:32,720
Shangguan He is already a useless pawn.
444
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,860
No amount of torture will change that.
445
00:22:35,340 --> 00:22:37,200
So we're just letting it go?
446
00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:39,890
Even a useless pawn can be useful.
447
00:22:39,890 --> 00:22:41,810
Let's set a chain trap for Nan Heng.
448
00:22:42,650 --> 00:22:43,810
A chain trap?
449
00:22:44,910 --> 00:22:46,110
General, you mean...
450
00:22:47,060 --> 00:22:48,710
Shangguan Baihe's capture
451
00:22:48,780 --> 00:22:51,510
has proven Nan Heng's failure to handle the case.
452
00:22:52,170 --> 00:22:54,840
Once we review all the records
453
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:57,940
and find the executioners from that day for questioning,
454
00:22:57,940 --> 00:22:58,990
we'll know exactly
455
00:22:59,340 --> 00:23:01,670
where the tampering occurred.
456
00:23:02,340 --> 00:23:03,420
But what if Nan Heng
457
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,700
has covered his tracks perfectly?
458
00:23:06,740 --> 00:23:09,150
Then we'll pass this hot potato to him—
459
00:23:09,170 --> 00:23:10,620
let him investigate it himself
460
00:23:10,620 --> 00:23:12,010
and prove his innocence.
461
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,850
If he protects Shangguan He,
462
00:23:13,940 --> 00:23:15,450
we can trace his connections
463
00:23:15,450 --> 00:23:16,520
and charge him.
464
00:23:16,950 --> 00:23:19,100
If he tries to sacrifice his right-hand man to save himself,
465
00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:20,500
we can take the opportunity
466
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:22,710
to weaken him.
467
00:23:25,580 --> 00:23:26,880
If Shangguan He
468
00:23:27,180 --> 00:23:28,640
really works for Nan Heng,
469
00:23:28,950 --> 00:23:30,800
then the entire Waning River Crescent,
470
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,130
including the highly skilled Li Shiliu,
471
00:23:33,270 --> 00:23:34,720
are all his accomplices.
472
00:23:35,740 --> 00:23:38,050
Given Waning River Crescent's ways,
473
00:23:38,340 --> 00:23:40,670
they won't just stand by and watch him die.
474
00:23:41,860 --> 00:23:42,760
By then,
475
00:23:42,900 --> 00:23:45,240
we can use this useless pawn as bait
476
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,800
to lure Waning River Crescent into a trap
477
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,520
and completely crush Nan Heng's faction's

and deploy troops to surround the Song Residence.
570
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,800
You sealed off the news, surrounded Song Residence,
571
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,040
and even slipped a note into my clothes.
572
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,240
Your Highness, what exactly
573
00:27:51,620 --> 00:27:53,040
are you scheming?
574
00:27:53,700 --> 00:27:54,520
And also,
575
00:27:54,700 --> 00:27:56,760
who exactly is Li Shiliu?
576
00:27:58,340 --> 00:27:59,140
Actually,
577
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,960
since you were provoked by the Axe Gang
578
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,720
at Waning River Crescent,
579
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,330
the Li Shiliu you've been seeing
580
00:28:07,100 --> 00:28:08,750
has always been Shangguan He.
581
00:28:09,850 --> 00:28:10,930
Shangguan He?
582
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,780
That's impossible.
583
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,480
He's just a pervert.
584
00:28:15,500 --> 00:28:17,230
How could he possibly be Mr. Li?
585
00:28:20,460 --> 00:28:21,460
Miss Song,
586
00:28:22,340 --> 00:28:23,450
this Li Shiliu
587
00:28:23,580 --> 00:28:25,180
is another identity of mine.
588
00:28:25,700 --> 00:28:27,330
Shangguan He happened
589
00:28:27,380 --> 00:28:29,480
to meet you under this identity.
590
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:30,960
I didn't want to interfere
591
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,700
in this matter between you two.
592
00:28:33,140 --> 00:28:34,700
Yesterday I went to Zijin Pavilion
593
00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:36,290
because he asked me
594
00:28:37,340 --> 00:28:39,660
to return these paintings to you.
595
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,630
But I didn't expect
596
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,520
what happened afterward.
597
00:28:50,430 --> 00:28:52,370
Your identity must remain secret,
598
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,440
so you sent the Xuanjia Army to the Song Residence,
599
00:28:55,630 --> 00:28:58,110
hoping to explain everything to me first.
600
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,620
Yes.
601
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,150
Seventh Prince, well played.
602
00:29:06,660 --> 00:29:07,660
But today,
603
00:29:07,660 --> 00:29:08,940
the one who should be talking to me
604
00:29:08,940 --> 00:29:09,960
is not you.
605
00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:12,150
Where is Shangguan He?
606
00:29:12,780 --> 00:29:15,510
Doesn't he even have the courage to explain to me?
607
00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:19,280
He is currently
608
00:29:20,450 --> 00:29:23,040
in the prison of capital prefecture's office.

Please calm down, Mrs. Song.
614
00:29:39,620 --> 00:29:40,380
Let me in.
615
00:29:40,420 --> 00:29:42,620
His Highness did this for a reason.
616
00:29:42,660 --> 00:29:44,140
He will certainly give you an explanation.
617
00:29:44,140 --> 00:29:44,980
What explanation?
618
00:29:44,980 --> 00:29:46,800
That he wants to marry our Yiting?
619
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,940
Should I just let his wolfish ambitions
620
00:29:47,940 --> 00:29:49,660
drag Yiting into the fire?
621
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,590
How can you say that about His Highness?
622
00:29:51,590 --> 00:29:53,720
If it weren't for Miss Yiting poisoning the incense burner,
623
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,520
would His Highness be like this?
624
00:29:56,140 --> 00:29:58,080
What nonsense are you talking about?
625
00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:59,720
How could our Yiting do such a thing?
626
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:00,940
It's clearly that Nan Heng...
627
00:30:00,940 --> 00:30:03,450
It was your Miss Yiting who wanted to frame His Highness.
628
00:30:03,450 --> 00:30:04,700
If you don't believe me,
629
00:30:04,700 --> 00:30:06,520
Xuanjia Army has already brought back the incense burner

His Highness just wants to calm things down.

Why do you
635
00:30:12,340 --> 00:30:13,580
keep causing trouble here?

00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,700

00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:26,340
I didn't act recklessly.
645
00:30:26,340 --> 00:30:27,580
His Highness ordered us
646
00:30:27,580 --> 00:30:29,280
not to fight back or talk back.
647
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,100
I wouldn't dare disobey.

are all quite something,
653
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,860
and His Highness still gets entangled with them.
654
00:30:40,860 --> 00:30:42,710
Isn't he just asking for trouble?
655
00:30:42,940 --> 00:30:44,280
You two, master and servant,
656
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,890
have played me like a fiddle,
657

and now you want me to help hide the truth.

00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:49,200
Your Highness,
659
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,050
why do you think I'd agree to that?
660
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:53,800
Shangguan He told me once
661
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,860
that your knowledge and talent
662
00:30:56,940 --> 00:30:58,280
surpass most women.
663

Since you've read history,
664
00:31:00,940 --> 00:31:02,500
you should know the lessons of the past.
665
00:31:02,500 --> 00:31:04,000
Since you're good at chess,
666
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,260
you should understand gains and losses.
667
00:31:08,010 --> 00:31:09,530
You said all this
668
00:31:09,580 --> 00:31:11,240
just to warn me
669
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,950
that revealing your identity
670
00:31:13,970 --> 00:31:15,580
will only make things worse,
671
00:31:16,410 --> 00:31:19,200
that I'd get the reputation of seducing my brother-in-law,
672
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,800
and that Yimeng would become a laughingstock.

nor the Song family.

As long as you understand this,
677
00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:32,390
I will immediately withdraw my men from Song Residence.

00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,700
you're ruthless
692
00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:07,280
and far from a decent person.
693
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,350
Now that Shangguan He's been exposed,
694
00:32:09,350 --> 00:32:10,940
if you don't step forward and take responsibility,
695
00:32:10,940 --> 00:32:12,480
this won't end well.

757
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,480
According to the Ministry of Justice's records,
758
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,100
Shangguan Baihe was already executed.
759
00:35:23,310 --> 00:35:26,310
Your Highness, as the official in charge of that case,
760
00:35:26,980 --> 00:35:28,710
aren't you curious how someone
761
00:35:28,980 --> 00:35:31,180
who supposedly died three years ago
762
00:35:31,980 --> 00:35:33,580
is now alive?
763
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:38,640
So you are saying
764
00:35:39,370 --> 00:35:41,580
that I should
765
00:35:41,930 --> 00:35:43,850
watch over every prisoner
766
00:35:44,460 --> 00:35:45,310
I arrest
767
00:35:45,930 --> 00:35:47,850
all the way until their execution?
768
00:35:55,310 --> 00:35:57,790
You can come up with 1000 reasons to deny it.
769
00:35:58,180 --> 00:35:58,980
However,
770
00:36:00,140 --> 00:36:01,620
yesterday, I went to the Secretariat
771
00:36:01,620 --> 00:36:03,140
to check the old case files.
772
00:36:03,330 --> 00:36:04,930
Guess what happened?
773
00:36:08,540 --> 00:36:10,180
The archives caught fire.
774
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,790
All records from those years
775
00:36:11,790 --> 00:36:13,040
were destroyed.
776
00:36:15,370 --> 00:36:16,230
Your Highness,
777
00:36:17,410 --> 00:36:18,870
if you were in my position,
778
00:36:19,290 --> 00:36:21,750
wouldn't you suspect that someone powerful
779
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,910
was pulling the strings behind this case?
780
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,480
Every time you fail,
781
00:36:28,730 --> 00:36:30,580
you blame me.
782
00:36:31,180 --> 00:36:33,390
It was like this during the Pingrong Battle,
783
00:36:33,390 --> 00:36:34,980
and it's still the same now.
784
00:36:42,770 --> 00:36:44,980
It doesn't matter if you don't admit it.
785
00:36:50,290 --> 00:36:52,750
Aren't you skilled at forcing confessions?
786
00:36:52,870 --> 00:36:54,770
Then why don't you ask
787
00:36:55,020 --> 00:36:56,660
Shangguan Baihe
788
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,020
how he came back from the dead?
789
00:37:01,140 --> 00:37:02,660
Oh, and I forgot to tell you—
790
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:04,730
this case has already been reported to His Majesty.
791
00:37:04,730 --> 00:37:06,100
What I'm doing today
792
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:07,870
is giving you a chance
793
00:37:08,060 --> 00:37:10,160
to prove you didn't collude with court officials
794
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,750
to falsify the case files.
795
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,200
Catch them!
796
00:38:36,140 --> 00:38:36,890
Your Highness,
797
00:38:36,890 --> 00:38:37,810
are you alright?
798
00:38:38,660 --> 00:38:40,310
Qianyu Army is truly useless.
799
00:38:40,620 --> 00:38:42,500
You can't even keep watch over a prisoner.
800
00:38:42,500 --> 00:38:44,100
Is there any place still safe
801
00:38:44,180 --> 00:38:45,500
in the capital?
802
00:38:46,930 --> 00:38:47,730
Fugui,
803
00:38:48,140 --> 00:38:49,330
go back and lead the troops
804
00:38:49,330 --> 00:38:50,750
to capture the men in black.
805
00:38:50,750 --> 00:38:51,580
Yes.
806
00:38:55,890 --> 00:38:58,370
Seventh Prince, you're known as the God of Death,
807
00:38:58,370 --> 00:39:00,430
yet you were injured by a man in black.
808
00:39:01,210 --> 00:39:03,060
Or were you just faking the injury
809
00:39:03,140 --> 00:39:04,230
to cover up
810
00:39:04,730 --> 00:39:06,370
a prison break?
811
00:39:09,060 --> 00:39:10,290
Even the God of Death
812
00:39:11,810 --> 00:39:13,730
has his limits.
813
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:16,290
Is that so?
814
00:39:17,100 --> 00:39:17,890
It's a pity.
815
00:39:18,660 --> 00:39:20,040
Looks like
816
00:39:20,930 --> 00:39:22,810
you saved the wrong man.
817
00:39:27,770 --> 00:39:28,580
Put him down!
818
00:39:35,700 --> 00:39:36,290
Oh no!
819
00:39:36,290 --> 00:39:37,680
That's not Shangguan He.
820
00:39:41,890 --> 00:39:42,830
Stop right there!
821
00:39:42,830 --> 00:39:44,080
Arrest them all!
822
00:39:55,290 --> 00:39:56,140
This
823
00:39:56,660 --> 00:39:58,140
is the real Shangguan He.
824
00:40:00,020 --> 00:40:01,540
The ones who just broke into the prison
825
00:40:01,540 --> 00:40:04,060
were Nightwalkers from Waning River Crescent, right?
826
00:40:04,060 --> 00:40:04,930
Too bad.
827
00:40:05,330 --> 00:40:08,180
They're probably surrounded by Rong Hua's men now.
828
00:40:08,210 --> 00:40:10,140
Once Rong Hua captures them,
829
00:40:10,660 --> 00:40:11,580
Seventh Prince,
830
00:40:12,140 --> 00:40:13,250
what do you think about
831
00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:15,730
sentencing them to exile a thousand miles
832
00:40:15,730 --> 00:40:17,580
for the crime of prison breaking?
833
00:40:19,290 --> 00:40:21,140
Sounds good.
834
00:40:22,180 --> 00:40:23,250
But General Chu,
835
00:40:25,100 --> 00:40:26,710
why are you so sure
836
00:40:26,850 --> 00:40:29,850
the prison breakers are Nightwalkers?
837
00:40:32,290 --> 00:40:34,680
I'm really not from Waning River Crescent.
838
00:40:35,700 --> 00:40:37,500
Someone paid me five hundred taels
839
00:40:37,500 --> 00:40:39,290
to lead people to break the prison
840
00:40:39,290 --> 00:40:40,600
and promised
841
00:40:40,890 --> 00:40:42,810
another five hundred after success.
842
00:40:42,810 --> 00:40:43,850
That person
843
00:40:44,290 --> 00:40:45,750
was a Nightwalker, right?
844
00:40:46,730 --> 00:40:48,080
That person never showed up.
845
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,180
A little beggar
846
00:40:49,290 --> 00:40:50,290
handed me the letter
847
00:40:50,290 --> 00:40:51,890
and silver.
848
00:40:54,890 --> 00:40:56,950
You hired people to break the prison?
849
00:40:57,770 --> 00:40:59,580
General Chu, you must be joking.
850
00:40:59,730 --> 00:41:01,830
I'm not Shangguan He's accomplice.
851
00:41:02,100 --> 00:41:03,770
Why would I do that?
852
00:41:04,500 --> 00:41:05,890
I'm just telling you this
853
00:41:05,930 --> 00:41:07,460
to remind you
854
00:41:08,020 --> 00:41:08,890
not to be...
855
00:41:09,770 --> 00:41:11,250
overconfident.
856
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:16,540
It doesn't matter.
857
00:41:17,330 --> 00:41:18,850
No matter who they are,
858
00:41:19,410 --> 00:41:21,140
they'll only be Nightwalkers
859
00:41:22,060 --> 00:41:23,540
from Waning River Crescent.
860
00:41:23,540 --> 00:41:24,700
Officers, you must be joking.
861
00:41:24,700 --> 00:41:27,810
How could that little beggar be a Nightwalker?
862
00:41:29,140 --> 00:41:29,730
Enough.
863
00:41:32,460 --> 00:41:33,890
I say it is so.
864
00:41:34,540 --> 00:41:35,730
If there's no evidence,
865
00:41:35,730 --> 00:41:37,140
then we'll fabricate it.
866
00:41:37,730 --> 00:41:40,180
Today, Waning River Crescent must be shut down.
867
00:41:40,180 --> 00:41:41,120
Brothers!
868
00:41:41,660 --> 00:41:43,140
Follow me to Waning River Crescent.
869
00:41:43,140 --> 00:41:43,810
Yes!
870
00:41:45,930 --> 00:41:47,290
Framing?
871
00:41:47,930 --> 00:41:49,060
Impressive.
872
00:41:49,580 --> 00:41:50,580
You flatter me.
873
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,310
I've just been dealing with you for so long
874
00:41:53,580 --> 00:41:54,750
that I picked up these tricks.
875
00:41:54,750 --> 00:41:55,910
Now I'm just using
876
00:41:56,460 --> 00:41:58,250
your own methods against you.
877
00:41:59,730 --> 00:42:01,810
Mr. Chu, since you understand this,
878
00:42:02,140 --> 00:42:03,500
do you also know
879
00:42:03,890 --> 00:42:04,730
what the art
880
00:42:05,540 --> 00:42:07,060
of escape means?
