00:10:59,020 --> 00:11:00,740
a joint interrogation
isn't a small matter.
192
00:11:00,740 --> 00:11:02,990
All the big names in court are there.
193
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:04,520
I once broke into an execution ground.
194
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,900
You think I'd be scared of this?
195
00:11:05,900 --> 00:11:07,360
Chu Guihong clearly wants
196
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,800
Nan Heng to be sentenced
to death this time.
197
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,520
If I don't help him,
198
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,680
who else will believe he's innocent?
199
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,140
I'll go to Waning River Crescent for help.
200
00:11:15,140 --> 00:11:15,920
No.
201
00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:18,340
We can't involve the Nightwalkers.
202
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:20,020
What Nan Heng needs
203
00:11:20,740 --> 00:11:22,140
is justice and truth.
204
00:11:23,140 --> 00:11:23,920
Mr. Song,
205
00:11:24,860 --> 00:11:26,400
do you still remember the battle report
206
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,800
for the Pingrong Battle?
207
00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:30,740
How could I forget?
208
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,560
In the 4th year of Xiyuan,
209
00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:36,220
on November 2nd,
210
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:39,860
the Heyuan army took 100 civilians
211
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,100
from Xing City and Ji City hostage
212
00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:43,900
and approached Pingrong City.
213
00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:48,160
[Pingrong City, the Third Border City]
214
00:11:46,340 --> 00:11:48,140
Lord Qianyu led 20,000 soldiers
215
00:11:48,220 --> 00:11:49,720
and fought fiercely for six days,
216
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,520
but was trapped and outmatched.
217
00:11:52,780 --> 00:11:55,200
Later, Junior General Chu Guihong
218
00:11:55,740 --> 00:11:58,530
led an elite force on a night raid
of the enemy camp,
219
00:11:58,590 --> 00:12:01,660
intending to kill their commander,
Fang Shiming.
220
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,280
Unexpectedly,
221
00:12:04,530 --> 00:12:06,510
he walked into an ambush
222
00:12:06,530 --> 00:12:07,650
and was captured.
223
00:12:08,500 --> 00:12:09,770
Kill!
224
00:12:09,860 --> 00:12:11,140
At dawn the next day,
225
00:12:11,450 --> 00:12:12,500
Fang Shiming
226
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,900
led 30,000 Heyuan soldiers
in a full assault.
227
00:12:15,930 --> 00:12:21,770
[Youcheng, the Fourth Border City]
228
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,400
They pushed all the way to Youcheng.
229
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,610
The Qianyu Army
was stationed along the border.
230
00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:27,060
Other than Pingrong City,
231
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:29,620
why were the other two cities lost?
232
00:12:29,740 --> 00:12:30,870
Is there any record?
233
00:12:33,340 --> 00:12:35,340
The Qianyu Army had 40,000 soldiers
234
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,180
and couldn't defend
all cities at the same time.
235
00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:40,400
Pingrong's terrain is open—
236
00:12:40,660 --> 00:12:42,160
easy to attack, hard to defend.
237
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,560
So most of the troops
were stationed there.
238
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,700
That left Xing City
and Ji City under-defended,
239
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,630
and they were taken first.
240
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:53,930
That's why I believe
241
00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:56,180
something doesn't add up.
242
00:12:57,220 --> 00:12:58,340
What do you mean?
243
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:01,150
Military deployment was top secret,
244
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,800
yet the Heyuan forces
245
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,770
struck the weakest cities first
246
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,500
as if they knew exactly where to hit.
247
00:13:08,650 --> 00:13:09,440
I believe
248
00:13:10,140 --> 00:13:11,850
someone must have
249
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,400
leaked the deployment information
250
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,740
to Heyuan in advance.
251
00:13:16,410 --> 00:13:18,100
My father ran the army
with strict discipline.
252
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:20,420
There were no traitors in the Qianyu Army!
253
00:13:21,140 --> 00:13:23,520
But wasn't the traitor Lu Yi
whom you keep mentioning
254
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,380
a scout from the Qianyu Army?
255
00:13:28,910 --> 00:13:29,900
Your Highness,
256
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:33,520
are you suggesting
Lu Yi was bribed by Heyuan?
257
00:13:34,500 --> 00:13:36,230
That's what I thought at first.
258
00:13:37,020 --> 00:13:38,260
But as a traitor,
259
00:13:38,500 --> 00:13:40,470
he returned to the capital unnoticed,
260
00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:41,800
got settled,
261
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,060
and walked away clean.
262
00:13:43,190 --> 00:13:45,320
I don't think he had that kind of power.
263
00:13:45,650 --> 00:13:46,900
So I believe
264
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,650
there must've been someone behind him.

fell for his schemes

379
00:18:38,580 --> 00:18:40,140
the letter is fake,
380
00:18:40,860 --> 00:18:42,300
but Nan Heng's treacherous ambitions
381
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:44,050
have long been obvious.
382
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,680
He betrayed the country, let the enemy in,
383
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,200
and tried to use the Heyuan army
384
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,610
to wipe out the Qianyu Army
once and for all.
385
00:18:51,340 --> 00:18:52,100
You…
386
00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:56,930
[Diligence for the People]
387
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:56,480
Listen to me.
388
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:57,200
Go now.
389
00:18:57,340 --> 00:18:58,080
Nan Heng,
390
00:18:58,300 --> 00:18:59,650
the letter isn't forged.
391
00:18:59,650 --> 00:19:01,650
Of course I know you didn't forge it.
392
00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:03,340
How dare he lie
393
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:04,910
in front of everyone?
394
00:19:05,150 --> 00:19:07,750
That letter just revealed
his true character.
395
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,100
For Yimeng,
396
00:19:09,100 --> 00:19:10,950
it's not necessarily a bad thing.
397
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,050
Minister Yan,
398
00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:15,480
the truth behind the Pingrong Battle
is clear now.
399
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,920
You're the presiding judge today.
400
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,790
Why haven't you issued a verdict?
401
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:19,940
Or have you,
402
00:19:20,610 --> 00:19:22,170
like Miss Song,
403
00:19:23,900 --> 00:19:26,140
also been threatened
by this sinister schemer?
404
00:19:26,140 --> 00:19:27,600
If he were truly sinister,
405
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:29,950
you wouldn't be standing here today.
406
00:19:36,820 --> 00:19:37,540

411
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:40,340
Wait a moment.

00:19:40,900 --> 00:19:41,400
Father,
415
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:42,160
this isn't right!
416
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,400
Father, Father!
417
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,100
No, no!
418
00:19:44,100 --> 00:19:45,200
Eunuch Liu, wait, wait!
419
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:45,720
Stop!
420
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:46,480
You…
421
00:19:48,060 --> 00:19:48,860

422
00:19:49,820 --> 00:19:50,900
What are you doing?
423
00:19:50,900 --> 00:19:51,630
Knock it off.
424
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:53,920
Father,
425
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,340
didn't you always tell me
426
00:19:55,340 --> 00:19:56,440
to judge things based on evidence?
427
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:57,820
Guihong has no real proof now.
428
00:19:57,820 --> 00:20:00,470
How can you just decide
to punish Heng like that?
429
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,340
Weren't you the one who kept demanding
430
00:20:02,340 --> 00:20:03,540
I deal with Heng?
431
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,720
I'm helping you.
432
00:20:06,340 --> 00:20:06,920
I...
433
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,260
Father,
434
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,380
this isn't the kind of help I want.
435
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,900
It's because you always play favorites
436
00:20:13,900 --> 00:20:14,920
that the whole world mocks me,
437
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,060
saying I'm just a clueless fool
438
00:20:16,060 --> 00:20:18,250
who only knows how to rely on his father.
439
00:20:25,820 --> 00:20:26,900
Are you…
440
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,860
blaming me?
441
00:20:30,620 --> 00:20:31,160
I...
442
00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:37,240
I'm blaming myself.
443
00:20:38,380 --> 00:20:39,060
Father.
444
00:20:39,650 --> 00:20:40,240
I know
445
00:20:40,690 --> 00:20:42,290
I was too reckless before,
446
00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:44,560
and I made things hard for you.
447
00:20:44,620 --> 00:20:46,150
But now I've figured it out.
448
00:20:47,340 --> 00:20:48,410
If Heng
449
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,900
really is guilty,
450
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:51,620
then we should
investigate it openly and fairly
451
00:20:51,620 --> 00:20:53,080
and convict him properly.
452
00:20:53,580 --> 00:20:55,560
If you force a charge on him,
453
00:20:55,620 --> 00:20:58,140
sure, you might succeed
in stripping him of military command,
454
00:20:58,140 --> 00:20:59,860
but while you gain the command token,
455
00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:01,480
you'll lose the people's trust,
456
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,470

458
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:14,940
I didn't arrange this.

00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,860
Alas!
460
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,100
Fate is unfair sometimes,
461
00:21:20,100 --> 00:21:21,400
but people never stop seeking justice.
462
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:22,720
A centuries-old injustice
463
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,060
finally sees the light.

Justice above family ties.

00:21:28,100 --> 00:21:30,420

Mr. Yao,

collaboration is a capital offense.
483
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,100
You'd better not be making this up.
484
00:22:01,100 --> 00:22:02,370
I'm not.
485
00:22:02,890 --> 00:22:04,650
I'm a principled scholar.

I study the classics
for the good of the world.
487
00:22:06,780 --> 00:22:09,010
Now, witnessing such injustice,
488
00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:10,680
I'm willing to risk my life
489
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:11,680
and turn against my own kin
490
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,620
just for a fair judgment.
491
00:22:20,860 --> 00:22:21,720
Yao Qian.
492
00:22:23,380 --> 00:22:24,480
You should know
493
00:22:25,340 --> 00:22:27,140
the consequences of framing me.

This
495
00:22:30,340 --> 00:22:32,690
is the evidence I've prepared for you.
496
00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:34,900
Tomorrow, His Majesty will issue an edict
497
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:37,920
for the Ministry of Justice
to try the Seventh Prince
498
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,160
for hiring assassins to kill the witness.

503
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,000
if I betray him like this,
504
00:22:49,060 --> 00:22:50,580
he'll never let me off.
505

If you refuse to testify,

and I did.
531
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,900

00:23:57,900 --> 00:23:59,420
to something you didn't do?
533
00:24:00,620 --> 00:24:01,880
As long as you trust me,
534
00:24:02,650 --> 00:24:03,500
that's enough.
535
00:24:05,620 --> 00:24:06,140

when the Qianyu Army
stepped aside and did nothing,

00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,950
You saw what happened today.
568
00:25:46,540 --> 00:25:48,730
Chu Guihong has His Majesty behind him.
569
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,780
The two of them are dead set
570
00:25:50,780 --> 00:25:52,110
on taking Nan Heng down.
571
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,790
As long as he hands over
the command token,
572
00:25:54,790 --> 00:25:56,580
they'll spare his life.
573
00:25:57,300 --> 00:25:58,680
If you act recklessly,
574
00:25:59,260 --> 00:26:01,330
you'll only get yourself in trouble,
575
00:26:02,820 --> 00:26:04,480
and it won't help him one bit.
576
00:26:07,650 --> 00:26:08,720
You're right.
577
00:26:11,540 --> 00:26:12,340
But Yiting,
578
00:26:13,300 --> 00:26:13,960
does one
579
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,830
always have to do the right thing?
580
00:26:21,070 --> 00:26:22,550
Nan Heng has done so many
581
00:26:23,580 --> 00:26:25,000
good things in his life.
582
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:28,440
Yet no one has ever trusted him.
583
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,100
No one has ever
584
00:26:30,100 --> 00:26:31,200
stood firmly
585
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,680
on his side.
586
00:26:34,620 --> 00:26:36,550
Everyone calls him the God of Death
587
00:26:36,730 --> 00:26:37,490
and a fiend.
588
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,390
Even His Majesty disdains him
589
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,720
and gives him the cold shoulder.
590
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,300
I know
591
00:26:44,860 --> 00:26:46,900
he pretends he doesn't care,
592
00:26:47,570 --> 00:26:48,510
but deep down,
593
00:26:50,340 --> 00:26:51,540
he hopes
594
00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:53,780
someone will support
595
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,620
and trust him.

She's kneeling
outside the palace gate right now.
599
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,310
I won't see her.
600
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,480
The wind is picking up.
601
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,620
It looks like it's going to snow.
602
00:27:18,890 --> 00:27:20,550
Then let her kneel in the snow.
603
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,240

604
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,480
how long she can kneel there for Heng.

you colluded with Heyuan.

so you must already know the answer.

Her Ladyship gave birth to you,
690
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,060
the Gao family was destined to walk

00:31:38,060 --> 00:31:39,480

692
00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:41,380

as long as the Gao family comes to power,
699

no matter how many people die,
700
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,620
it's all worth it?
701
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,850
Since you were young,
I've been telling you
702
00:32:18,900 --> 00:32:20,960
that only by being emotionless
703
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,900
can you reach the peak of power.
704
00:32:25,100 --> 00:32:26,720
But you were weak-willed then,
705
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,380
always afraid of displeasing His Majesty
706
00:32:28,380 --> 00:32:29,680
and always treading carefully,
707
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,890
submissive and meek.
708
00:32:31,340 --> 00:32:34,100
Even Chu Guihong
could've barked orders at you.
709
00:32:35,380 --> 00:32:36,900
No wonder your own father
710
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:39,160
has been so cruel to you.
711
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,540
Uncle.
712
00:32:54,340 --> 00:32:55,660
Was the Empress's death
713
00:32:56,580 --> 00:32:57,710
your doing?
714
00:33:07,060 --> 00:33:08,320
If I hadn't killed her,
715
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,860
the Gao family
would've never had a future.
716
00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:26,900
But have you ever considered
717
00:33:28,300 --> 00:33:30,300
what consequences all your actions
718
00:33:31,540 --> 00:33:33,660
would bring upon the Gao family and me?
719
00:33:33,900 --> 00:33:35,600
It was your weakness
and cowardice back then
720
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,400
that made His Majesty doubt you.
721
00:33:38,780 --> 00:33:39,640
Your Highness,
722
00:33:40,140 --> 00:33:42,140
I'm the only one who can help you now.
723
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:43,900
Rather than rely on others
724
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:44,900
and beg for scraps,
725
00:33:44,900 --> 00:33:45,720
why not rely on yourself
726
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:47,480
and carve out your own empire?
727
00:33:51,380 --> 00:33:52,240
Your Highness.
728
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,210
Are you asking me to rise up?
729
00:33:57,820 --> 00:34:00,340
I've gone to great lengths
to back you into a corner
730
00:34:00,340 --> 00:34:02,860
just so you can
make up your mind to seize the throne.
731
00:34:02,860 --> 00:34:04,450
Don't worry, Your Highness.
732
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,650
I was able to fake my death and escape
733
00:34:07,790 --> 00:34:10,320
because I had men planted
in the Xuanjia Army.
734
00:34:10,340 --> 00:34:11,530
And tonight, I could bring soldiers
735
00:34:11,530 --> 00:34:13,490
into the capital prefecture's prison
736
00:34:13,490 --> 00:34:15,490
because I also
have men in the Qianyu Army.
737
00:34:15,490 --> 00:34:16,410
That's not all.
738
00:34:16,410 --> 00:34:18,930
I have 3,000 private soldiers
stationed secretly outside the city.
739
00:34:18,930 --> 00:34:20,130
Once you give the order,
740
00:34:20,130 --> 00:34:21,220
they can attack from both inside and out,
741
00:34:21,220 --> 00:34:22,410
surround the palace,
742
00:34:22,410 --> 00:34:25,340
and imprison His Majesty
and the Eighteenth Prince.
743
00:34:26,260 --> 00:34:27,780
Uncle, you've been using me
744
00:34:28,570 --> 00:34:30,380
and my mother as your pawns.
745
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:34,430
You say it's all for the Gao family,
746
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:35,930
but are you not afraid
747
00:34:35,930 --> 00:34:37,610
of ruining the Gao family's name forever?
748
00:34:37,610 --> 00:34:38,490
If you steal money, you're a thief.
749
00:34:38,490 --> 00:34:39,900
If you steal a nation, you're a king.
750
00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:41,740
Your Highness, stop hesitating.
751
00:34:41,740 --> 00:34:44,130
This is the last chance I can give you.
752
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,450
You're already a prisoner.
753
00:34:46,450 --> 00:34:47,530
Besides rising up in rebellion,
754
00:34:47,530 --> 00:34:49,590
do you think you have another choice?
755
00:34:59,970 --> 00:35:01,930
So the traitor in Great Jing
756
00:35:02,260 --> 00:35:04,180
is you, Gao Changyin.
757
00:35:09,780 --> 00:35:11,860
What a great chancellor.
758
00:35:12,450 --> 00:35:13,860
Murdering the Empress,
759
00:35:14,380 --> 00:35:15,840
colluding with the enemy,
760
00:35:16,740 --> 00:35:18,970
and now plotting to start a rebellion.
761
00:35:20,570 --> 00:35:21,970
As the Emperor,
762
00:35:23,050 --> 00:35:25,900
I've been so blind.
763
00:35:28,180 --> 00:35:32,360
So this whole thing was a setup
by His Highness and Your Majesty.
764
00:35:34,930 --> 00:35:37,700
[One day ago]
765
00:35:36,130 --> 00:35:37,450
What are you here for?
766
00:35:38,740 --> 00:35:39,530
Your Majesty,
767
00:35:39,970 --> 00:35:41,450
after speaking with Rui,
768
00:35:41,900 --> 00:35:43,900
I confirmed that Gao Changyin isn't dead.
769
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:45,950
He's been plotting from the shadows.
770
00:35:46,610 --> 00:35:48,180
So I want you
771
00:35:48,450 --> 00:35:49,970
to put on a show with me
772
00:35:50,180 --> 00:35:51,450
to lure him out.
773
00:35:52,260 --> 00:35:54,050
Why should I trust you?
774
00:35:54,860 --> 00:35:56,180
You don't have to.
775
00:35:56,700 --> 00:35:58,240
Just consider it a gamble.
776
00:35:58,900 --> 00:35:59,700
Absurd.
777
00:36:00,090 --> 00:36:01,380
Is the state affair
778
00:36:01,380 --> 00:36:03,860
a children's game to you?
779
00:36:04,860 --> 00:36:05,780
I wouldn't dare,
780
00:36:06,380 --> 00:36:08,110
but I'm willing to place my bet.
781
00:36:13,220 --> 00:36:14,780
So you want to negotiate.
782
00:36:15,660 --> 00:36:17,050
Then tell me,
783
00:36:17,780 --> 00:36:19,630
what are you putting on the table?
784
00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:23,220
If my plan
785
00:36:23,530 --> 00:36:25,260
fails to lure Gao Changyin out,
786
00:36:25,340 --> 00:36:28,090
I'll willingly hand over
the Xuanjia Army's command token,
787
00:36:28,090 --> 00:36:29,490
withdraw from politics,
788
00:36:29,780 --> 00:36:31,570
and never return to the capital.
789
00:36:36,300 --> 00:36:40,760
Your Highness, so everything we've been
through together means nothing to you,
790
00:36:41,950 --> 00:36:44,240
and you're determined to get me killed.
791
00:36:47,450 --> 00:36:48,300
Uncle,
792
00:36:49,970 --> 00:36:52,030
it's time to let go of your obsession.
793
00:36:55,490 --> 00:36:56,780
It's all over now.
794
00:37:01,610 --> 00:37:03,090
You've learned well.
795
00:37:04,530 --> 00:37:07,130
I'm glad to see you finally find it in you
796
00:37:08,150 --> 00:37:10,840
to turn on your own family.
797
00:37:13,930 --> 00:37:14,740
Guards!
798
00:37:15,740 --> 00:37:18,030
Arrest the traitor Gao Changyin.
799
00:37:19,010 --> 00:37:20,700
He'll be executed later!
800
00:37:27,380 --> 00:37:28,180
Stop!
801
00:37:28,180 --> 00:37:28,970
Eunuch Liu.
802
00:37:29,300 --> 00:37:30,680
I know His Majesty is inside.
803
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,010
-I want to see him.
-You're not allowed in!
804
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:41,660
Your Majesty.
805
00:37:46,180 --> 00:37:48,220
A-Aren't you supposed to be in prison?
806
00:37:48,220 --> 00:37:48,930
How…
807
00:37:50,130 --> 00:37:50,990
Your Highness!
808
00:37:51,010 --> 00:37:51,860
Your Highness!
809
00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:52,930
Chancellor Gao has confessed.
810
00:37:52,930 --> 00:37:55,380
It's all thanks to
your brilliant strategy.
811
00:37:55,900 --> 00:37:56,700
Miss Song?
812
00:37:58,180 --> 00:37:59,910
Chancellor Gao has confessed?
813
00:38:08,970 --> 00:38:10,130
So,
814
00:38:11,010 --> 00:38:12,800
you were never really in danger.
815
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:16,130
That was just a trap you set up.
816
00:38:17,410 --> 00:38:18,410
Why didn't you...
817
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:22,220
Fine.
818
00:38:23,490 --> 00:38:24,340
I'm so stupid.
819
00:38:30,300 --> 00:38:32,950
[Jinyang Mutiny]
820
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,150
[Battle of Tancheng]
821
00:38:52,010 --> 00:38:53,450
I kept it from you
822
00:38:53,450 --> 00:38:54,320
because
823
00:38:54,380 --> 00:38:56,220
my uncle was too powerful.
824
00:38:56,220 --> 00:38:58,010
I feared you'd be in danger if involved,
825
00:38:58,010 --> 00:38:59,530
so I didn't say a word to you.
826
00:39:01,970 --> 00:39:04,070
Listen to me, listen to me.
827
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:09,740
When you suddenly appeared
828
00:39:09,970 --> 00:39:11,900
at the joint interrogation today,
829
00:39:11,970 --> 00:39:12,860
I was
830
00:39:13,380 --> 00:39:14,380
quite surprised.
831
00:39:17,070 --> 00:39:18,200
I didn't expect
832
00:39:18,930 --> 00:39:20,130
you'd care for me
833
00:39:20,380 --> 00:39:22,740
and trust me so much.
834
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,010
Who says I care for you?
835
00:39:24,340 --> 00:39:25,510
Who says I trust you?
836
00:39:25,530 --> 00:39:27,660
I'd be elated
if they sent you back to prison
837
00:39:27,660 --> 00:39:29,380
and had you executed right now!
838
00:39:32,900 --> 00:39:33,930
Let me tell you,
839
00:39:34,970 --> 00:39:36,010
from now on,
840
00:39:36,660 --> 00:39:37,740
you go your way,
841
00:39:38,050 --> 00:39:38,970
and I'll go mine.
842
00:39:39,970 --> 00:39:41,220
Don't come to me again.
843
00:39:42,130 --> 00:39:42,970
Wait.
844
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:43,800
You…
845
00:39:43,910 --> 00:39:45,530
Wherever you go, I'll go.
846
00:39:45,550 --> 00:39:47,220
Whatever path you walk, I'll follow.
847
00:39:47,220 --> 00:39:48,300
With you following me,
848
00:39:48,300 --> 00:39:49,380
any path would lead
849
00:39:49,490 --> 00:39:50,360
straight to hell.
850
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,430
Wait, Song Yimeng.
851
00:39:56,590 --> 00:39:58,130
I'll tell you one last time:
852
00:39:59,050 --> 00:40:00,180
until I calm down,
853
00:40:01,050 --> 00:40:02,510
don't let me see your face!
854
00:40:05,970 --> 00:40:06,880
Song Yimeng!
855
00:40:07,820 --> 00:40:09,150
When will you calm down?
856
00:40:10,450 --> 00:40:11,220
Song Yimeng!
857
00:40:18,610 --> 00:40:20,180
The Pingrong Battle
858
00:40:20,180 --> 00:40:21,860
was a national tragedy.
859
00:40:22,050 --> 00:40:25,900
Gao Changyin and his accomplices
860

[Gao Residence]
861
00:40:25,970 --> 00:40:27,570
conspired against their own country.
862
00:40:26,050 --> 00:40:26,820
[Gao Residence]
863
00:40:27,740 --> 00:40:30,780
Because of them,
20,000 Qianyu soldiers were slaughtered.

[Sealed by the capital prefect Chu
following a royal command]
865
00:40:30,930 --> 00:40:32,320
Their crimes are unforgivable.
866
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:33,610
Their property is confiscated,
867
00:40:33,610 --> 00:40:35,380
and they're exiled
to the northern frontier.
868
00:40:35,380 --> 00:40:36,780
All titles and ranks
869
00:40:36,780 --> 00:40:38,610
are stripped.
870
00:40:38,610 --> 00:40:40,410
Let this be a warning
871
00:40:40,410 --> 00:40:42,490
to all officials.
872
00:40:43,740 --> 00:40:46,400
