Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,400
Governor, why didn't you tell
Miss Xi Yan the truth?
2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,039
His Majesty was enraged today.
3
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:11,990
He was thinking of dispatching her
with his personal guards.
4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,320
So what even if I do tell her?
5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,760
She wasn't afraid
of losing her life anyway.
6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:19,320
You acted before
His Majesty's personal guards
7
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:21,519
in order to protect Miss Xi Yan.
8
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:24,160
But she misunderstood what you did
9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:25,790
as an attempt to stop her
from overturning the case.
10
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:28,640
Since it has come to this,
11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,120
the imperial cell
12
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,000
is the only place that can protect her.
13
00:00:32,675 --> 00:00:34,840
It's the most dangerous,
yet the safest place for her.
14
00:01:15,850 --> 00:01:17,750
=The Architect=
15
00:01:17,862 --> 00:01:19,712
=Episode 28=
(May I never disappoint heaven nor you)
16
00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:28,239
Xi Yan!
17
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:29,680
Xi Yan!
18
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,220
We've already checked the surroundings.
19
00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:32,480
There was no sign of a break-in.
20
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:34,370
I'm afraid the arsonist
21
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:36,120
was trying to trap
Miss Xi Yan in the cell
22
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,200
and silence her.
23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,280
We've found
all of the bodies in the cell,
24
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,599
except for Miss Xi Yan's.
25
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,530
Governor, I'm afraid
there's more to this than meets the eye.
26
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:45,599
Xi Yan!
27
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:46,879
Governor!
28
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:47,840
Governor!
29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:48,879
Xi Yan?
30
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,480
- Xi Yan!
- Governor!
31
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,599
Governor!
32
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:54,159
Let go!
33
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,439
The fire isn't under control yet!
34
00:01:55,439 --> 00:01:56,400
It's dangerous inside!
35
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,959
I've already verified the cause!
36
00:01:57,959 --> 00:01:59,079
Prince Duan visited the cell
37
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:00,640
before it caught on fire.
38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,159
Xiao Huaijin?
39
00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:16,639
Xiao Huaijin.
40
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:19,360
Pay with your life.
41
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:23,560
Pei Yu,
42
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,800
you'd better open your eyes
43
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,840
and see closely what's under her.
44
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:34,719
Xiao Huaijin!
45
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,080
Look closely.
46
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,000
Once the torch in my hand
falls to the ground,
47
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,479
she'll be reduced to ashes immediately.
48
00:02:46,525 --> 00:02:47,840
What exactly do you want?
49
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:51,479
Pei Yu, oh, Pei Yu,
50
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,639
to think that you'll be at my mercy too.
51
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:56,120
Listen up.
52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,680
I hate that conceited look of yours
53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,599
the most!
54
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:02,520
All of us are merely lackeys
of the emperor.
55
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,280
What gives you the right to belittle me?
56
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,159
Xiao Huaijin,
57
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,400
I'll take her with me
by hook or by crook.
58
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,120
Sure.
59
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Since you like to be a lackey that much,
60
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,199
kneel and beg,
61
00:03:26,662 --> 00:03:28,080
and I might give you this chance.
62
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:56,400
So, it turns out that the lusty and
power-hungry Governor Pei,
63
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,159
who's drenched in blood,
64
00:03:58,159 --> 00:04:00,560
is actually the world's
most romantic man!

100

The cell in
the Governor's Residence was on fire.
101
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,990
All of the prisoners
were burned to death.
102
00:06:29,012 --> 00:06:30,800
It's all because of my negligence.
103
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,360
Your Majesty, please punish me!
104
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:35,959
Those prisoners
were on death row anyway.
105
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:37,319
Forget it.
106
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:42,000
The preparations for my birthday banquet
haven't been completed yet.
107
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,680
And, it's nearing.
108
00:06:45,187 --> 00:06:45,959
Xiao,
109
00:06:46,220 --> 00:06:47,920
I will let you take over
the preparations.
110
00:06:53,987 --> 00:06:56,510
Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!
111
00:06:56,639 --> 00:06:57,920
I will surely fulfill my duty!
112
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:06,000
The Governor of Huguang offers a pair of
113
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,337
Persian Xuanwu gold cups as tributes
114
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,759
while the Governor of Shannan
115
00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:12,439
presents a jadeite vase
with twin handles as tributes.
116
00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:16,762
To celebrate His Majesty's birthday,
the Governor's Residence
117
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,680
shall present...
118
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,879
Your Majesty, I've obtained
a priceless treasure
119
00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:57,120
for your birthday banquet.
120
00:07:57,519 --> 00:07:58,480
With this treasure,
121
00:07:58,490 --> 00:08:01,200
your benevolent rule will bestow
blessings upon the corners of earth,
122
00:08:01,319 --> 00:08:04,000
and the people will hold the court
in greater reverence.
123
00:08:06,639 --> 00:08:07,120
Pei,
124
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,360
that treasure you said, what is it?
125
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:20,480
Your Majesty,
126
00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:23,879
this is proof of Prince Duan's
iron ore smuggling
127
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:25,360
and
128
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:27,519
how he betrayed the state.
129
00:08:38,039 --> 00:08:38,725
Your Majesty.
130
00:08:49,690 --> 00:08:50,399
Insolent commoner!
131
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,039
I thought you were already
burned to death.
132
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,039
Governor!
133
00:09:07,180 --> 00:09:08,279
Keep guard beside the cell.
134
00:09:08,490 --> 00:09:09,950
Do not allow anyone
to approach the cell.
135
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,600
Yes, Governor.
136
00:09:15,919 --> 00:09:17,000
What are you up to again?
137
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,810
Just now, I received news
from the palace.
138
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:21,200
My sister was terminally ill.
139
00:09:21,210 --> 00:09:22,420
And, she summoned me to her palace.
140
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:26,279
But according to the palace rules,
141
00:09:27,159 --> 00:09:28,620
even if my sister was terminally ill,
142
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:29,960
the imperial physicians
should've been summoned first.
143
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,879
After that, the case would be
reported to His Majesty.
144
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,950
Why would they summon
an outsider like me
145
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,279
to the palace immediately?
146
00:09:36,590 --> 00:09:37,600
What do you mean by that?
147
00:09:39,662 --> 00:09:40,399
I'm sure
148
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,960
someone is trying to lure me away
149
00:09:42,710 --> 00:09:43,850
so that they can silence you.
150
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,600
Aren't you the one
who's trying to silence me?
151
00:10:00,387 --> 00:10:03,475
(Changning, I'm safe now. Pei Yu
has hidden me away and kept me safe.)
152
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:05,039
This is Yunqi's handwriting.
153
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:07,879
Is he fine?
154
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,399
But I saw you stabbing him...
155
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,639
What you saw was precisely
what I wanted Xiao Huaijin to see.
156
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,039
Back then, I predicted
157
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,159
that Xiao Huaijin would target you two.
158
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,900
Therefore, I prepared
a blood pack in advance.
159
00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:25,240
(Pei Yu said he wanted to help you)
I kept it near Yunqi's chest.
160
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,187
(I could only reunite with you
after the incident was over.)
161
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,480
Yunqi would only be safe
162
00:10:29,230 --> 00:10:30,919
if Xiao Huaijin thought
that he was dead.
163
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,600
So,
164
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,990
was throwing me into the imperial cell
165
00:10:37,159 --> 00:10:38,639
all part of your plan?
166
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:41,879
That's right.
167
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:44,600
I did it to deceive Xiao Huaijin
168
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:45,799
and His Majesty.
169
00:10:47,300 --> 00:10:49,990
You intend to hand over the evidence
to the Court of Judicial Review.
170
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,480
By then, Xiao Huaijin will be convicted
171
00:10:52,725 --> 00:10:53,764
of treason.
172
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,600
He'll surely try to silence you.
173
00:11:01,210 --> 00:11:02,970
Perhaps the cell will be
reduced to cinders
174
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,399
after my departure.
175
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,440
Once it starts burning,
176
00:11:12,100 --> 00:11:13,000
someone will guide you
177
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,430
and help you escape
through the secret chamber.
178
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:18,720
Xi Yan.
179
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,639
Please be careful.
180
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:26,279
Okay.
181
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:27,840
Pei Yu,
182
00:11:29,237 --> 00:11:30,960
I'll trust you one last time.
183
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,240
It's on fire! We need help!
184
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:37,559
Help!
185
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:38,710
Hurry and put out the fire!
186
00:11:40,799 --> 00:11:41,759
Hurry! Over here!
187
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:44,799
Save me!
188
00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:57,679
Xiao Huaijin burned down
the cell in your residence,
189
00:12:58,570 --> 00:12:59,919
yet His Majesty didn't press
any charges against him.
190
00:13:10,437 --> 00:13:11,478
Fairness,
191
00:13:12,362 --> 00:13:13,323
justice,
192
00:13:14,639 --> 00:13:16,519
and everything I've been fighting for...
193
00:13:17,210 --> 00:13:20,039
To think that all of those actually
depended on the ruler's conscience.
194
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,159
Even if we have concrete evidence,
195
00:13:22,660 --> 00:13:24,470
as long as His Majesty
never nods his head,
196
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,450
no matter how much we try
to overturn the Shen family's massacre,
197
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,519
the case will be put aside,
198
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,279
and it'll yield nothing.
199
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,559
No.
200
00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:38,200
I can't just let that happen.
201
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,799
Whether or not the Shen family's name
can be cleared
202
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:43,220
doesn't just involve the Shen family.
203
00:13:43,639 --> 00:13:45,000
It also concerns Shen Shipping
204
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,500
and its tens of thousands of workers.
205
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:48,879
Their family members
were implicated by this case.
206
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,399
Many of them lost their livelihood
207
00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:52,679
and had their family shattered.
208
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:55,890
Everyone is waiting for the day
that their names will be cleared.
209
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,440
If His Majesty doesn't agree to it,
210
00:13:59,919 --> 00:14:01,639
we'll just make him do it.
211
00:14:01,879 --> 00:14:02,600
That's right.
212
00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:04,679
Even if the sky is falling on us,
213
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,840
we'll dig a hole on top of our heads.
214
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,580
If a confidential letter isn't enough,
215
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:10,919
let's locate concrete evidence
216
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:12,480
of Xiao Huaijin's treason.
217
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,639
Now, everyone in the world
218
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:17,240
thinks that I've been burned to death.
219
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,559
And, Xiao Huaijin
220
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,919
has let down his guard.
221
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
We can use this opportunity
222
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,559
to follow the leads Li Wan'er
had written in her letter
223
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:23,879
and seek out the truth.
224
00:14:25,590 --> 00:14:27,159
During His Majesty's birthday banquet,
225
00:14:27,450 --> 00:14:29,990
officials from all provinces will come to
the capital to celebrate his birthday.
226
00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:33,360
By then, we can present the evidence
of Xiao Huaijin's corruption to him.
227
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,639
If so, Xiao Huaijin's true colors
228
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,080
will be revealed to all.
229
00:14:38,559 --> 00:14:39,279
Pei Yu,
230
00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:41,600
has this ever occurred to you?
231
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:43,759
If we fail,
232
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:46,600
you'll most definitely be implicated.
233
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,320
You might even be denied
a proper burial after death.
234
00:14:50,759 --> 00:14:53,120
I've never known defeat
ever since my days
235
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:55,759
in the Arena of Beast.
236
00:14:56,639 --> 00:14:57,840
In life,
237
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,240
no matter if it's a cowardly death
238
00:14:59,500 --> 00:15:01,200
or a heroic death,
one will die eventually.
239
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:05,759
As long as I think it's worth it,
240
00:15:06,559 --> 00:15:07,639
it doesn't matter even if
241
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,290
I have to stake my life on it.
242
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,159
No matter what,
243
00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:14,519
I didn't squander
244
00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:16,399
the opportunity given to us
by the heavens.
245
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,720
No matter if we succeed or fail,
246
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,080
I'm going to give it a try.
247
00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:25,580
May I never disappoint
248
00:15:26,039 --> 00:15:27,000
Heaven
249
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:29,159
nor you.
250
00:15:49,612 --> 00:15:51,639
(End of Episode)
251
00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:53,320
You guys are forcing me to do this!
252
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,559
Tell me!
253
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,550
Just how much have you all
received from the Shen family?
254
00:15:57,799 --> 00:15:59,159
To eradicate traitors
255
00:15:59,660 --> 00:16:01,080
and preserve the peace of the state,
256
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:01,960
I am willing
257
00:16:02,159 --> 00:16:03,159
to sacrifice myself.
258
00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:04,639
Darned emperor!
259
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,399
