Chu.

3
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,780
I want to see His Majesty.

4
00:01:34,780 --> 00:01:36,090
I know what you're going to say.

5
00:01:36,090 --> 00:01:37,400
His Majesty is in a bad mood.

6
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,400
You'd better report on another day.

7
00:01:39,509 --> 00:01:41,039
Ever since His Majesty
recovered from his illness,

8
00:01:41,039 --> 00:01:42,920
he's been either searching everywhere
for Queen Chu's whereabouts

9
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,710
or drinking and making merry
in the hunting ground.

10
00:01:44,710 --> 00:01:47,840
Military affairs have already
piled up like a mountain!

11
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,520
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty.

12
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,560
Speak.

13
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,680
It has been 3 months
since Great Yong withdrew their troops.

14
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,280
Our spies there
brought a secret report today,

15
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,870
saying that Meilin Pass
may seem heavily guarded

16
00:02:29,870 --> 00:02:30,870
and impregnable,

17
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,120
but in reality,
the troops from Xintai Pass

18
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,920
to the east have been moved west.

19
00:02:35,710 --> 00:02:36,870
Now, Xintai Pass

20
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,400
is the most vulnerable place
in Great Yong.

21
00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:41,470
The Yong Army previously

22
00:02:41,470 --> 00:02:42,800
suffered heavy losses
in the Battle of Meilin Pass.

23
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,030
Meanwhile, our Great Yan
has ample rations,

24
00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:48,360
enough to supply an eastward expedition
of 50,000 Yan soldiers.

25
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:49,120
Your Majesty,

26
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,030
I think we should attack Great Yong

27
00:02:51,030 --> 00:02:52,560
before they have a chance
to catch their breath,

28
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,120
striking at their weakest point

29
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,829
and catching them off guard!

30
00:03:07,310 --> 00:03:08,030
You.

31
00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:10,310
Come here.

32
00:03:25,150 --> 00:03:25,950
Your Majesty.

33
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,150
Look up.

34
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,200
What dance were you performing?

35
00:03:34,590 --> 00:03:36,030
It is Great Yan's war dance.

36
00:03:36,030 --> 00:03:37,829
It praises Great Yan's warriors

37
00:03:38,079 --> 00:03:40,210
for fearing no strong enemy,
expanding territories,

38
00:03:40,210 --> 00:03:41,490
and battling heaven and earth.

39
00:03:41,490 --> 00:03:43,520
Expanding territories.

40
00:03:44,870 --> 00:03:46,680
Battling heaven and earth.

41
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:48,630
Good!

42
00:03:52,079 --> 00:03:53,340
You shall be rewarded!

43
00:04:06,310 --> 00:04:07,630
Why did you stop me just now?

44
00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:09,000
I rode hundreds of miles overnight

45
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,560
just to get an answer from His Majesty!

46
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,710
Why did you stop me?

47
00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:19,480
Didn't you see His Majesty
was fixated on that dancer,

48
00:04:19,829 --> 00:04:21,920
who looks a bit like Chu Qiao?

49
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:24,920
What good could possibly come of

50
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,850
discussing military affairs now?

51
00:04:28,250 --> 00:04:28,860
Forget it.

55
00:06:40,430 --> 00:06:41,230
Your Majesty.

56
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,080
Why are you here?

57
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,560
I am here to serve you, Your Majesty.

58
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Please do not mind my clumsiness.

59
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,310
Which tribe are you from?

60
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:03,560
Your Majesty,

61
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,000
I am from the Pale Tribe.

62
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:18,600

Undress me.

64
00:07:39,950 --> 00:07:43,920
The clothes and jewelry
you are wearing are very valuable.

65
00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:46,630
Did Pale's old man reward you

66
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,390
to come and seduce me?

67
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,580
You must be joking, Your Majesty.

68
00:07:53,730 --> 00:07:55,930
Elder Pale is my uncle.

69
00:07:56,510 --> 00:07:57,920
When I was young,

70
00:07:58,290 --> 00:08:01,090
I saw you at my uncle's mansion

71
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,920
and have admired you ever since.

72
00:08:12,390 --> 00:08:13,320

Your Majesty...

74
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,039
Tell your self-righteous uncle,

won't walk out of here alive so easily.

78
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,870
Get out.

79
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,150
Your Majesty.

80
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:57,030
Your Majesty, please calm down.

81
00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:58,030
It is my dereliction of duty

82
00:08:58,030 --> 00:08:58,770
to let that dancer...

83
00:08:58,770 --> 00:08:59,730
What dancer?

84
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,320
She is Pale's old man's own niece!

85
00:09:04,630 --> 00:09:06,150
They are so eager

86
00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:07,720
to send their blood relatives

87
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,030
to my side.

What they want to climb onto
is not my bed,

89
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,670
but my throne!

90
00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:17,030
Your Majesty,

91
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,700
forgive my bluntness.

92
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,320
These days,

93
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,480
there has been more restlessness
among the tribes.

94
00:09:23,870 --> 00:09:24,840
Restlessness?

95
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:32,210
I know without you telling me.

96
00:09:33,550 --> 00:09:34,960
All they're saying

97
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,820
is that the King of Great Yan
has no Queen and no heir.

98
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,550
So it is unknown
who Great Yan will belong to

99
00:09:39,550 --> 00:09:40,840
in the future.

100
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,360
You overthink it, Your Majesty.

101
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,820
The elders wouldn't dare.

102
00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:47,200
Wouldn't dare?

Chu.

104
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,440
In Great Yan,

105
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:29,510
only the one who can tame this black eagle

106
00:10:29,510 --> 00:10:31,710
is qualified to be the King of Great Yan.

107
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,200
Come.

108
00:10:46,690 --> 00:10:47,290

Who wants to be your Queen?

111
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,550
I don't care.

112
00:10:57,390 --> 00:10:58,450
I didn't lie to you.

113
00:10:58,650 --> 00:10:59,290
Really.

we will go back to Great Yan together.

00:11:02,550 --> 00:11:04,430
There are rarely wars

00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:14,700

no one will ever point a sword
at you again.

According to the etiquette of Biantang,

wearing a mask at a state banquet

169
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,200
is disrespectful.

170
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,790
King Ximeng, you wear a mask
even when toasting.

171
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,760
Do you have no intention to drink

173
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,310
It's not that I don't want
to take off the mask,

174
00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:44,460
but my face is strange

175
00:15:44,510 --> 00:15:45,720
and terrifying.

Taking off the mask at a state banquet

177
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,410
would be inappropriate

When you met His Majesty just now,

180

you used the etiquette of Ximeng.

When toasting,

182
00:15:57,670 --> 00:16:00,200
you are still unwilling
to take off your mask.

183
00:16:00,220 --> 00:16:03,350
Are you so unwilling
to follow the etiquette of Biantang

184
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,400
because you look down on Biantang
as a small Central Plains country,

185
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,630
far less vast than Ximeng,

186
00:16:10,030 --> 00:16:12,080
and thus show no respect

187
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,340
for His Majesty and me?

188
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:16,480
Why do you make things difficult
for me, Your Majesty?

189
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,200
If you don't want
to take off the mask yourself,

190
00:16:19,870 --> 00:16:21,670
I will ask someone to help you.

191
00:16:23,390 --> 00:16:25,600
You, go and take off his mask.

192
00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:33,550
Useless thing.

193
00:16:33,790 --> 00:16:35,750
How dare you disrespect King Ximeng!

194
00:16:35,750 --> 00:16:36,480
Drag her out!

195
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:37,630
Beat her to death.

196
00:16:37,630 --> 00:16:39,700
Your Majesty,
please spare my life! Please!

197
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:41,180
I know my mistake!

198
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,320
Your Majesty, please spare my life!

199
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,530
Your Majesty, please spare my life!

200
00:16:44,530 --> 00:16:46,560
Your Majesty, please spare my life!

201
00:16:51,270 --> 00:16:52,150
You go.

202
00:16:55,010 --> 00:16:57,360
Your Majesty,
please spare my life! Please!

203
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,720
I know my mistake! I know my mistake!

204
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,910
I think those
who have always offended Biantang

205
00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:05,180
and raped and plundered at the border,

206
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,400
although belonging to Ximeng,

207
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,640
must be some

208
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,109
undisciplined savage tribes.

209
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,240
A dignified King Ximeng

210
00:17:13,290 --> 00:17:15,619
can't be such a cruel person.

211
00:17:16,349 --> 00:17:17,720
He will never just watch

212
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,920
innocent people die.

213
00:17:28,790 --> 00:17:29,720
Your Majesty,

214
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,640
I make bold to speak.

215
00:17:32,830 --> 00:17:34,560
King Ximeng is of noble status.

216
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,740
It may be inappropriate for a maid

217
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,130
to take off his mask.

218
00:17:38,510 --> 00:17:40,240
How about letting His Highness

219
00:17:40,270 --> 00:17:42,400
see King Ximeng's true face in person?

220
00:17:42,750 --> 00:17:43,750
What do you think?

221
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:45,110
Fu,

222
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,430
what are you doing?

223
00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:48,430
I don't quite understand this.

224
00:17:49,010 --> 00:17:51,070
What is your intention, Princess Fu?

225
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,590
King Ximeng came from afar

226
00:17:53,650 --> 00:17:55,110
to make friends with Biantang.

227
00:17:55,110 --> 00:17:56,790
He's probably not refusing

228
00:17:56,790 --> 00:17:58,310
to remove his mask out of disrespect,

229
00:17:58,310 --> 00:18:00,640
but because he
has some unspeakable difficulties.

230
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,960
The Crown Prince is the chosen one

231
00:18:03,790 --> 00:18:04,920
and of noble status.

232
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,400
First, he can replace
the Emperor and the Empress

233
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,130
to see King Ximeng's true face.

234
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,550
Second, if only the Crown Prince goes,

235
00:18:11,550 --> 00:18:12,750
it won't be impolite.

236
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,440
I guess King Ximeng
wouldn't refuse, right?

237
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,590
King Ximeng's face
was disfigured during the war,

238
00:18:20,590 --> 00:18:21,720
so he wears a mask.

239
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:23,720
By pressing him like this,

240
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,750
are you intentionally
disrespecting our King

241
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:27,030
to humiliate him?

242
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,310
Since this
is about our diplomatic relations,

243
00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:35,070
let's not let these trivial matters
ruin our harmony.

244
00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:36,790
What do you say, King Ximeng?

245
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,070
Fu.

246
00:18:55,070 --> 00:18:55,720
Ce,

247
00:18:56,170 --> 00:18:57,410
what are you doing?

248
00:19:01,070 --> 00:19:02,510
Mother, Father,

249
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,550
I...

250
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,110
I...

251
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,480
I was afraid King Ximeng's terrifying face

252
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,680
would ruin everyone's good mood today,

253
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,810
so I wanted to share the burden for you.

254
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,700
Ce, since that's the case,

255
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,110
you can take a look
at King Ximeng's true face

256
00:19:18,110 --> 00:19:20,200
on behalf of His Majesty and me.

257
00:19:47,770 --> 00:19:48,730
Ghost!

258
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,620
Apologies for frightening you,
Your Highness.

259
00:20:03,310 --> 00:20:04,350
Ghost!

260
00:20:07,310 --> 00:20:07,960
Ce,

261
00:20:08,350 --> 00:20:09,750
what exactly did you see?

262
00:20:11,030 --> 00:20:12,640
Mother, Father,

263
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,550
I have seen King Ximeng's true face.

264
00:20:15,750 --> 00:20:17,230
It is indeed as King Ximeng said.

265
00:20:17,230 --> 00:20:19,790
His old wounds haven't healed,
so he shouldn't show his face.

266
00:20:19,790 --> 00:20:21,440
So it is true.

267
00:20:21,460 --> 00:20:23,510
His face is exceptionally
ugly and disfigured.

268
00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:24,910
Absolutely terrifying.

269
00:20:25,310 --> 00:20:25,960
Mother,

270
00:20:26,350 --> 00:20:28,480
it's best not to let him
take off his mask.

271
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,350
Alright,

272
00:20:29,550 --> 00:20:31,950
he has seen his face.
Let the banquet begin.

273
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,640
Your Majesty, please wait.

274
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,720
We have specially arranged
a performance for King Ximeng,

275
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,180
and it hasn't started yet.

276
00:20:43,550 --> 00:20:45,480
These 3 Ximeng warriors

277
00:20:46,030 --> 00:20:47,760
are all exceptionally strong,

278
00:20:47,850 --> 00:20:51,850
yet they raped and pillaged
on our Biantang land.

279
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,030
I thought,

280
00:20:53,030 --> 00:20:56,160
why not take the opportunity
of King Ximeng's visit today

281
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,550
to let our Biantang warriors
and Ximeng warriors

282
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,840
compete against each other?

283
00:21:08,860 --> 00:21:09,990
Let the match begin.

284
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,720
You can't even hold your swords steadily.

285
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,200
If Ximeng people are like this,

286
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,460
how dare they call themselves warriors?

287
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,960
In my opinion,

288
00:21:20,260 --> 00:21:22,720
they're nothing but cowards, not warriors!

289
00:21:36,750 --> 00:21:38,240
I thought

290
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,170
Ximeng soldiers were so brave
and skilled in battle.

291
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,850
I didn't expect to see today

292
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,700
that they are so pathetic.

293
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,750
They are just like beasts.

294
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,310
These 3 warriors are obviously weak.

295
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:52,830
They look like
they haven't eaten for days.

296
00:21:52,830 --> 00:21:54,680
This is simply bullying the weak!

297
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,470
Continue.

298
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,300
Your Majesty, please take our bodies

299
00:22:13,830 --> 00:22:15,110
back to Ximeng.

300
00:22:47,110 --> 00:22:47,890
My Queen,

301
00:22:47,910 --> 00:22:49,910
King Ximeng came from afar.

302
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,880
Randomly picking some soldiers
to start a fight

303
00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:55,180
is against our way of treating guests.

304
00:22:57,310 --> 00:22:59,570
Your Majesty, you're absolutely right.

305
00:23:01,270 --> 00:23:03,470
The Queen of Lingyue has a noble status.

306
00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:04,440
If it's a match,

307
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,550
she shouldn't compete with soldiers.

308
00:23:06,550 --> 00:23:07,920
Why not...

309
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,350
let Princess Fu do it?

310
00:23:11,830 --> 00:23:14,390
Princess Fu is the daughter
of the Prince of Pingnan.

311
00:23:14,390 --> 00:23:16,510
Not only is she a noble lady
of the mansion,

312
00:23:16,510 --> 00:23:18,840
but she also
came from a family of generals.

313
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,400
She was raised and taught
by the Prince of Pingnan from childhood.

314
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,200
To compete against the Queen of Lingyue

315
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,680
is perfectly suitable.

316
00:23:26,030 --> 00:23:26,590
Mother,

317
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:27,960
Fu is still injured.

318
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,490
-Don't worry.
-I'm afraid—

319
00:23:29,610 --> 00:23:32,200
Princess Fu, like the Queen of Lingyue,

320
00:23:32,790 --> 00:23:34,160
is of noble status.

321
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,160
The so-called match
is just a friendly spar.

322
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,010
They should stop before anyone gets hurt.

323
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,000
Don't you know martial arts?

324
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,180
Why didn't you fight back?

325
00:24:05,180 --> 00:24:06,980
I came from a family of generals.

326
00:24:07,030 --> 00:24:08,830
We only lead troops into battle,

327
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,930
not engage in reckless brawls.

328
00:25:11,170 --> 00:25:11,810
Enough.

329
00:25:15,130 --> 00:25:17,030
The Queen of Lingyue lacks manners

330
00:25:17,030 --> 00:25:18,560
and injured your princess.

331
00:25:18,670 --> 00:25:19,950
Please forgive us.

332
00:25:20,110 --> 00:25:20,750
It's fine.

333
00:25:21,370 --> 00:25:22,570
In a match,

334
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,530
accidents are inevitable.

335
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,480
We startled King Ximeng today.

336
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,920
It is truly Biantang's negligence.

337
00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:40,550
I hope such a trivial matter

338
00:25:41,030 --> 00:25:44,000
won't affect the friendship
between Ximeng and Biantang.

339
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,550
I came from thousands of miles away

340
00:25:45,550 --> 00:25:47,880
to build good relations with Biantang.

341
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,110
Swords have no eyes.

342
00:25:49,130 --> 00:25:52,260
Those plundering Ximeng warriors'
deaths are trivial,

343
00:25:52,550 --> 00:25:55,960
but harming our diplomatic relations
would not be worth it.

344
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,160
King Ximeng, you're absolutely right.

345
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,350
You must be like me,

346
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,110
hoping for good relations
between our countries,

347
00:26:02,110 --> 00:26:04,480
which is why you helped Princess Fu.

348
00:26:05,270 --> 00:26:06,920
However, I feel that

349
00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:09,790
Princess Fu and King Ximeng

350
00:26:10,070 --> 00:26:11,960
have quite a deep connection.

351
00:26:12,500 --> 00:26:14,900
King Ximeng
was unwilling to show his face,

352
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,420
yet the Crown Prince and Princess Fu
stepped in to help him out.

353
00:26:18,750 --> 00:26:21,640
When Princess Fu
dueled with the Queen of Lingyue,

354
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:25,000
King Ximeng also lent a hand.

355
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:26,480
Why do I feel

356
00:26:26,750 --> 00:26:31,070
that King Ximeng, the Crown Prince,
and Princess Fu

357
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,010
share some past connection

358
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,040
that we don't know about?

359
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,440
How could the Crown Prince
have a connection with King Ximeng?

360
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,160
Ximeng is a remote region,

361
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,760
and it's King Ximeng's first time
in Biantang.

362
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:44,640
This...

363
00:26:44,660 --> 00:26:47,100
Is Her Majesty implying something?

364
00:26:48,070 --> 00:26:49,930
Your Majesty, you must be joking.

365
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,590
King Ximeng is highly skilled

366
00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:52,640
and very proud.

367
00:26:53,270 --> 00:26:55,120
He won't even reveal his true face;

368
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:56,520
he is no ordinary person.

369
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:57,960
How could I

370
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,100
possibly establish a connection
with him so easily?

371
00:27:00,100 --> 00:27:03,230
Naturally, I would like to befriend
King Ximeng as well.

372
00:27:03,270 --> 00:27:05,330
But I'm afraid in King Ximeng's eyes,

373
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,720
no one is worthy of his trust.

374
00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:14,720
Princess Fu, you're joking.

375
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,750
I felt like old friends with His Highness
and Princess Fu at first sight.

I am tired.

380
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,720
Since the Crown Prince
and King Ximeng feel like old friends,

381
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,400
then the Crown Prince will be in charge

382
00:27:30,830 --> 00:27:32,220

383
00:27:32,220 --> 00:27:33,020
Crown Prince,

384
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,330
if you are unsure about anything,
ask Lord Wang from the Ministry of Rites.

385
00:27:57,530 --> 00:28:00,050
How could Zhuge Yue become King Ximeng?

betrayed her own country

499

500
00:34:15,110 --> 00:34:17,070

is actually willing

510
00:34:47,710 --> 00:34:49,840
none of us will leave Tangjing alive.

511
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,060
I don't care about my own life.

512
00:34:52,980 --> 00:34:55,179

513
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:10,430

I figured you'd get bored
staying here all day.

532
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,760
So I went back to the archery stall

533
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:45,840

534
00:36:46,110 --> 00:36:47,970

It's yours, indeed.

542
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,220
But what did that rabbit do wrong?

543
00:37:13,500 --> 00:37:14,880
Why were you so cruel to it?

544
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:15,360
Yes!

545
00:37:15,810 --> 00:37:17,560

557
00:37:50,550 --> 00:37:52,950
I definitely won't let you suffer anymore.

558
00:38:01,150 --> 00:38:01,840
Chun'er.

559
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,030
I will protect you
for the rest of my life.

560
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:30,930
You can't even kill me.

561
00:38:31,140 --> 00:38:32,340
How can you kill them?

562
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,770
Your Majesty, please don't be sad.

563
00:38:34,770 --> 00:38:36,250
Just punish me.

564
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,510
Based on my understanding of Zhuge Yue,

565
00:38:38,510 --> 00:38:41,000
his visit to Biantang this time
is not simple.

566
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:41,780
Chu,

567
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,470
I miss you so much.

568
00:38:43,510 --> 00:38:45,470
I pay my respects to you,
Princess Consort Helian.
