Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:34,599
Sir,
2
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,159
Ms. Gu's been looking for you these days.
3
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,840
She asked if you're free tomorrow.
4
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,920
She'd like to meet you.
5
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,359
What's up? Why so urgent?
6
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:44,359
Well...
7
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:47,319
I'm not sure.
8
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,400
Remind me tomorrow
9
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,200
to bring that jewelry set I just got.
10
00:01:56,439 --> 00:01:57,319
The color
11
00:01:57,599 --> 00:01:58,519
would suit her well.
12
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,439
Sir,
13
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:03,959
Ms. Xue is here.
14
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,400
She's waiting at your office.
15
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,760
You let her in?
16
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:08,840
Yes.
17
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:11,319
She said she had an appointment.
18
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,719
Go take ten strokes of the paddle.
19
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,039
You seem to like it here
20
00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:19,960
so much.
21
00:02:20,199 --> 00:02:21,240
Why not just move in?
22
00:02:21,719 --> 00:02:22,439
There are plenty of
23
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:23,560
empty rooms.
24
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:25,319
The conditions aren't bad either.
25
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,280
For your father's sake,
26
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,039
I could set one aside just for you.
27
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,639
You dare talk to me like this
28
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:35,520
because you know
29
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,719
I have feelings for you.
30
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,879
The day I'm over you,
31
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:40,800
you'll pay for it.
32
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,120
Xue Qinglan!
33
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:42,879
Take it easy.
34
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,000
I do like you,
35
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,400
but I know where the line is.
36
00:02:50,439 --> 00:02:51,400
This is the governmental office,
37
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:52,400
not your house.
38
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:53,719
I'm not here to cause trouble.
39
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:57,280
What brings you here?
40
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:05,159
I came to tell you something.
41
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:07,120
What is it?
42
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,599
Say it
43
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,560
and get out.
44
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Chen Yanyun
45
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,240
has asked Mr. Gu for his daughter's hand.
46
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:21,159
What did you say?
47
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:28,199
Which daughter?
48
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,240
Who else could it be?
49
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,639
Gu Jinzhao, of course.
50
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:32,599
Nonsense!
51
00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:33,879
Why would I make this up?
52
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:36,159
Ladies of every noble household
53
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:37,360
already know about this.
54
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:38,840
And Chen Yanyun,
55
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,080
to show the Gu family respect,
56
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:41,240
even invited the wife
57
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,639
of Grand Secretary He to be the matchmaker.
58
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:47,360
You're lying.
59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,800
I don't believe you.
60
00:03:54,039 --> 00:03:54,840
You must be lying.
61
00:03:56,879 --> 00:03:57,919
This is impossible.
62
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:00,520
Ye Xian!
63
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:01,240
Get lost!
64
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:10,960
Giddy up.
65
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:22,000
Greetings, Young Lord.
66
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:23,839
Young Lord?
67
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,560
What...
68
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:26,439
What's going on?
69
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:28,120
Quick, go inform Mrs. Feng.
70
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:28,639
Yes.
71
00:04:51,759 --> 00:04:53,160
I'm not even afraid of Lord Chen.
72
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,639
Why would I be afraid of you?
73
00:04:55,639 --> 00:04:57,279
Greetings, Uncle.
74
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,759
Nice to meet you.
75
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:00,639
As my elder,
76
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:03,000
did you bring me a first-meeting gift?
77
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:04,759
Wait.
78
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:06,360
Your hand is injured.
79
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,600
What happened?
80
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,839
You're awake?
81
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:13,480
Are you
82
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,720
still feeling unwell?
83
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:21,279
Hey.
84
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:27,680
Thank you.
85
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,240
Lord Ye is here?
86
00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:01,920
Yes.
87
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:04,439
The servant said he's storming
88
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,879
straight toward Jinzhao's courtyard.
89
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,639
At this time of day,
90
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:09,720
why would he come looking for Jinzhao?
91
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,079
Ma'am,
92
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,199
I heard the servants gossiping
93
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:14,680
Young Lord treats Ms. Jinzhao
94
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,000
far better than
95
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:17,319
the other young ladies.
96
00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:19,399
That might have been fine before,
97
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:20,519
but Ms. Jinzhao
98
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:21,879
is now engaged
99
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:22,759
to Lord Chen.
100
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,439
You're right.
101
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,519
We can't let him see Jinzhao.
102
00:06:30,399 --> 00:06:31,439
Go, stop him.
103
00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:32,720
Yes.
104
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:34,079
Wait.
105
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,040
We can't let word of this spread.
106
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,360
Cuilyu,
107
00:06:39,879 --> 00:06:41,079
go inform Deyuan
108
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:42,759
and have the inner courtyard gate guarded.
109
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:43,920
Yes, ma'am.
110
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:44,600
Hurry up.
111
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:45,360
Remember,
112
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:47,040
don't let a single stranger in.
113
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,800
And don't let a word of this get out.
114
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:49,879
Got it.
115
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:52,680
I'd better go myself.
116
00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:54,680
Forgive me
117
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:55,920
for being blunt.
118
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,759
Have you told Xian about
119
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,279
your betrothal to Lord Chen?
120
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:08,360
How do you plan to tell him?
121
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:10,680
I...
122
00:07:11,839 --> 00:07:13,439
I wanted to tell him.
123
00:07:14,399 --> 00:07:15,360
I just...
124
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,319
I'll meet him tomorrow.
125
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,519
What are you gonna do?
126
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,399
He likes you so much.
127
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:24,959
You have no idea.
128
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:26,759
Military noble families are in decline.
129
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
They say
130
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:28,959
His Excellency
131
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:29,680
is looking to
132
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,000
make an example of my dad.
133
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:32,560
Who knows
134
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,079
what trouble Xian might cause?
135
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,240
I'm sorry, Jinzhao.
136
00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:42,680
I'm not trying to pressure you.
137
00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:44,959
But you know Xian's temper,
138
00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:47,079
and you're engaged to Chen Yanyun.
139
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:50,720
Honestly,
140
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,680
I don't know how to bring it up.
141
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,600
What?
142
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,079
Has he never
143
00:07:57,079 --> 00:07:58,240
confessed to you?
144
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:02,319
What a fool.
145
00:08:03,959 --> 00:08:05,120
Since we're talking about this,
146
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,319
I'll ask something
147
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,079
I probably shouldn't.
148
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,399
Do you
149
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,120
have feelings for Xian?
150
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:17,160
I've always
151
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:18,920
seen him as a good friend.
152
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:21,720
What did you say?
153
00:08:29,959 --> 00:08:30,759
Answer me.
154
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:32,279
What did you just say?
155
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,159
Say it again.
156
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,240
Xian,
157
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:37,879
just calm down.
158
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,039
So it's all true?
159
00:08:42,759 --> 00:08:44,279
You're marrying Chen Yanyun,
160
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,960
right?
161
00:08:49,879 --> 00:08:50,559
Yes.
162
00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:53,960
I meant to
163
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,360
tell you sooner.
164
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,039
Xian!
165
00:08:58,759 --> 00:08:59,679
Step back.
166
00:09:12,159 --> 00:09:13,279
Why?
167
00:09:16,039 --> 00:09:17,159
Why?
168
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:22,519
Because I love him.
169
00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:41,960
I was going to tell you tomorrow.
170
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:44,200
I didn't expect you
171
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,399
to come over today.
172
00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:46,519
Xian...
173
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,519
You love him?
174
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,159
I don't believe it.
175
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,240
You're lying.
176
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,000
Miss! Miss!
177
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:03,600
It's not true.
178
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,159
Young Lord,
179
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:13,799
what brings you here today?
180
00:10:14,039 --> 00:10:15,240
- Why not go to the...
- Shut up!
181
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,039
You're his sister.
182
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,960
Are you just gonna let
183
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,240
him make a scene here?
184
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,039
Xian, put the sword down.
185
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:26,519
Xian.
186
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:51,960
Calm down.
187
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,840
Put it down and let's talk.
188
00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:02,039
You love him?
189
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,159
Fine.
190
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:05,799
Great.
191
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:07,960
You actually love him.
192
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:14,159
Lord, I'm sorry.
193
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,159
Xian.
194
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,759
Take Jinzhao out through the back gate.
195
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,639
- Yes.
- Yes.
196
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,879
Xian, come home with me.
197
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:21,080
Miss, let's go.
198
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:22,440
Miss, we have to go.
199
00:11:22,639 --> 00:11:23,320
Come on.
200
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:24,440
Please listen to us.
201
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:27,320
Hurry up.
202
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,120
This way.
203
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,039
Let's go now.
204
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,440
Gu Jinzhao!
205
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,120
Xian!
206
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,440
Fetch a doctor! Now!
207
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:46,120
Xian...
208
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,240
Miss?
209
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:00,440
Don't follow me.
210
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:03,320
None of you.
211
00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:11,120
Lord Ye?
212
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:11,919
Xian!
213
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,159
- Young Lord?
- Xian!
214
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,600
Jinzhao? Jinzhao?
215
00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:24,120
Jinzhao?
216
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,320
Quick, ease her down.
217
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,759
Jinzhao? Jinzhao?
218
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:28,519
It's fine. It's all right.
219
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,519
Jinzhao.
220
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,279
Yanyun?
221
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:50,759
Greetings, Your Majesty.
222
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,080
Please get up.
223
00:13:53,799 --> 00:13:54,600
Thank you, Your Majesty.
224
00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:00,000
Your Excellency.
225
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,519
Minister Chen,
226
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,200
Mr. Fu told me yesterday
227
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,120
that you're marrying
228
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,080
that Ms. Gu who
229
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,759
once struck the Petition Drum.
230
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,120
I was really curious,
231
00:14:14,639 --> 00:14:15,639
so I
232
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:16,759
summoned you
233
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,039
to ask you in person.
234
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,000
Your Majesty,
235
00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:22,399
Lord Chen is still under censure.
236
00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:24,159
Summoning him to the palace
237
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,120
is against the law.
238
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:31,960
I know.
239
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:32,840
It won't happen again.
240
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,200
Minister Chen,
241
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,519
when did you
242
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:40,679
plan to marry
243
00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:41,679
Ms. Gu?
244
00:14:42,679 --> 00:14:44,399
Your Majesty, this...
245
00:14:44,519 --> 00:14:45,279
Your Majesty,
246
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:47,519
how could you pry into
247
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:49,519
your minister's private affairs?
248
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:51,960
Then let me rephrase.
249
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:54,360
Minister Chen,
250
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,759
I've heard
251
00:14:56,919 --> 00:14:58,039
that Ms. Gu's maternal family
252
00:14:58,039 --> 00:14:59,000
has been working for you.
253
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,000
Have you been acquainted for quite some time?
254
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:04,919
Your Majesty,
255
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:07,639
I have many memorials to review.
256
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,240
I'll leave you and Yanyun to it.
257
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:12,000
Please excuse me.
258
00:15:14,559 --> 00:15:15,159
Zhang Fang,
259
00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:16,799
see Mr. Fu out.
260
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:18,360
Yes, Your Majesty.
261
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:21,519
Take care, Your Excellency.
262
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:29,279
Your Majesty,
263
00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:31,279
Ms. Gu and I...
264
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:33,720
I'm hungry.
265
00:15:34,279 --> 00:15:35,759
Go fetch some pastries.
266
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,320
Yes, Your Majesty.
267
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:55,360
Today
268
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:56,279
the Censor impeached Lord Changxing
269
00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:57,440
for disrespecting the Emperor.
270
00:15:57,879 --> 00:15:59,120
Mr. Fu insists he be dealt with severely.
271
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,240
But I want to spare him and his family.
272
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,759
I can't
273
00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:05,320
openly cross Mr. Fu,
274
00:16:05,559 --> 00:16:06,360
so
275
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,559
I'm asking you to handle this.
276
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:23,840
What
277
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:25,399
I never expected is that His Majesty
278
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,720
would tell you directly
279
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,159
to protect Lord Changxing.
280
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:30,759
Doesn't that put you
281
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,879
directly against His Excellency?
282
00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:36,399
Could His Majesty be testing you?
283
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,159
A test, yes.
284
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:43,720
But it's also an order.
285
00:16:44,799 --> 00:16:45,720
As for the relief grain case,
286
00:16:45,879 --> 00:16:46,919
I took the full blame on behalf of
287
00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:48,120
the Ministry of Revenue.
288
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,039
It was
289
00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:51,559
Wang Xuanfan's idea,
290
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:54,080
but Master said
291
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,000
nothing throughout.
292
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,320
That's enough for His Majesty to suspect
293
00:16:58,679 --> 00:16:59,919
the plan had his tacit approval.
294
00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:01,240
Moreover,
295
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,240
His Majesty would also suspect
296
00:17:03,639 --> 00:17:04,680
that this might
297
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,079
drive a wedge between
298
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:06,920
me and Master.
299
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:12,519
His Majesty is
300
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:15,680
growing faster
301
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:16,880
than we anticipated.
302
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:23,200
But even with His Majesty's order,
303
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,440
if His Excellency is set on
304
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,960
bringing down Lord Changxing,
305
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,720
what can we possibly do?
306
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:31,519
Let's go see Ye Xian first.
307
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:48,680
Sir?
308
00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:49,640
- Sir?
- Stay back.
309
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,880
Chen Yanyun.
310
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:54,640
Ye Xian,
311
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:55,960
have you lost your mind?
312
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,680
Right, I'm insane.
313
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:58,839
Go to hell!
314
00:18:02,039 --> 00:18:02,559
Sir!
315
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:04,559
Don't come closer.
316
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,960
Mr. Ye's impeached for disrespecting the Emperor
317
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,160
and will face severe punishment.
318
00:18:16,039 --> 00:18:16,799
And yet here you are,
319
00:18:16,799 --> 00:18:17,920
trying to kill me over a woman?
320
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,519
Sir?
321
00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:27,920
Ms. Gu and I are in love.
322
00:18:28,319 --> 00:18:29,720
You think you can come between us?
323
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,039
In your dreams.
324
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:34,039
Chen Yanyun,
325
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:36,039
you and I are sworn enemies!
326
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,440
Sir?
327
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,359
Spread the word that today,
328
00:18:45,799 --> 00:18:46,920
Ye Xian stopped my carriage
329
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,200
in the street and tried to kill me
330
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:48,799
out of jealousy.
331
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,640
The more people know, the better.
332
00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:53,279
Got it.
333
00:18:56,079 --> 00:18:57,680
Ye Guangsheng, Lord Changxing,
334
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,839
defies the late Emperor, disrespects the throne,
335
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:00,880
acts stubbornly and arrogantly,
336
00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:01,920
and neglects his duties.
337
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,160
The Punishment Bureau is to
338
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:05,319
arrest Lord Changxing, detain him,
339
00:19:05,519 --> 00:19:06,559
and investigate thoroughly,
340
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,359
to appease Heaven's wrath.
341
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,200
I, Ye Xian,
342
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:20,240
receive the decree.
343
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,039
Sir?
344
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:32,240
Come
345
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,359
with me to
346
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,119
arrest Lord Changxing.
347
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:41,839
This...
348
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,799
Wait outside for half an hour.
349
00:20:05,519 --> 00:20:06,680
Yes, sir.
350
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:26,519
Sir, Ma'am,
351
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:27,640
Young Lord is back.
352
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:36,640
Dad, mom.
353
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,519
Still remember the way home?
354
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:42,680
Xian,
355
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:47,000
you've lost weight.
356
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:48,279
You're tanned too.
357
00:20:51,039 --> 00:20:52,039
Have you eaten?
358
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:54,000
Sit and have dinner with us.
359
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,519
If you're not hungry, that's fine.
360
00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:03,119
I'd like that.
361
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:06,200
Great.
362
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,240
Come over.
363
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,000
Quick.
364
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:12,039
Tell the kitchen to add
365
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:13,960
a dish of pork stir-fried with daylily,
366
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,079
radish meatball soup,
367
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:16,319
and
368
00:21:16,319 --> 00:21:17,440
meat-stuffed flatbreads.
369
00:21:17,519 --> 00:21:18,359
That's
370
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,240
Xian's favorite.
371
00:21:19,319 --> 00:21:20,279
Yes, ma'am.
372
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,160
Xian,
373
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,400
is work at
374
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:27,680
the Punishment Bureau busy?
375
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,079
It's fine.
376
00:21:29,839 --> 00:21:30,799
Fine?
377
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,200
I heard you went to Shanxi not long ago
378
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,640
and nearly got yourself killed.
379
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:36,839
What?
380
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,359
How was it so dangerous?
381
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,319
You fought on the battlefield.
382
00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:44,039
You could have died at any moment too.
383
00:21:45,519 --> 00:21:46,519
That's different.
384
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,599
I was fighting enemies.
385
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,160
But you?
386
00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:52,400
You're just a pawn in power struggles
387
00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:53,440
and
388
00:21:55,079 --> 00:21:56,440
a blade in His Majesty's hand.
389
00:21:58,319 --> 00:21:59,839
He rarely comes home.
390
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,079
Why bring all this up?
391
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,079
Am I wrong?
392
00:22:02,759 --> 00:22:04,119
Go ask around
393
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,920
about what
394
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,720
the Punishment Bureau does.
395
00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:09,599
Everyone in this court
396
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:11,599
serves His Majesty.
397
00:22:12,319 --> 00:22:13,839
Who would dare refuse?
398
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:14,640
You!
399
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,480
You're an educated man.
400
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:19,000
Was everything you
401
00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:21,279
learned for nothing?
402
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,200
I don't care what you think.
403
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,559
I'll submit a memorial to the Empress Dowager
404
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:27,599
and have you transferred tomorrow.
405
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:28,960
I've already
406
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:30,079
spoken to your Uncle Song.
407
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:31,880
He'll move you to the Ministry of War.
408
00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:33,200
I'm not going.
409
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:34,440
And Uncle Song
410
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,400
won't listen to you.
411
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,359
Bastard, you dare defy me?
412
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,960
Here's the imperial decree.
413
00:23:14,599 --> 00:23:15,279
Sir?
414
00:23:19,839 --> 00:23:20,880
This is absurd.
415
00:23:22,079 --> 00:23:23,599
Since His Majesty's coronation,
416
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,160
I've been injured and stayed home.
417
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,359
What am I guilty of?
418
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,000
If you have grievances,
419
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:34,319
save them for prison.
420
00:23:35,279 --> 00:23:36,480
The imperial order cannot be delayed.
421
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,599
I'll be waiting outside.
422
00:23:39,559 --> 00:23:40,599
Please come out
423
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:42,640
within 15 minutes.
424
00:23:43,079 --> 00:23:43,839
Xian!
425
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,319
Mom,
426
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,440
I have to...
427
00:23:46,519 --> 00:23:48,680
Brat! You brat!
428
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,079
You're killing your own father!
429
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:11,519
Sir?
430
00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:33,880
If I were you,
431
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,519
I'd volunteer to be imprisoned with him.
432
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:37,440
At least that way,
433
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:39,960
no one in the Punishment Bureau
434
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,599
can lay a hand on him.
435
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,640
It may be his only chance.
436
00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:47,839
Why should I trust you?
437
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:52,759
Sir!
438
00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:54,400
Deputy Hu.
439
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:55,680
Sir?
440
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,720
The Censor has impeached Lord Changxing.
441
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:02,079
As the heir,
442
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,039
I should also be detained.
443
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,759
So tie me up as well.
444
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,160
You bastard,
445
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,319
what are you doing?
446
00:25:10,519 --> 00:25:10,960
Sir,
447
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,240
there's really no need for this.
448
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:13,640
What?
449
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,880
You won't obey
450
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:16,920
my orders anymore?
451
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:20,640
Got it.
452
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:27,200
Xian, you can't go!
453
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,119
Don't go!
454
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:28,920
Xian!
455
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,079
Xian, no!
456
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:35,599
No!
457
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,279
Xian! Xian!
458
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:40,319
Don't!
459
00:25:40,319 --> 00:25:41,000
Ma'am.
460
00:25:41,839 --> 00:25:44,079
Xian, come back! Xian!
461
00:25:44,839 --> 00:25:45,599
Lord!
462
00:25:45,599 --> 00:25:46,559
Xian!
463
00:25:47,519 --> 00:25:48,319
[Chen Yanyun,]
464
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,119
[I've done as you said.]
465
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,440
[If you dare trick me,]
466
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,680
[I will tear you apart.]
467
00:25:58,920 --> 00:25:59,839
Sir...
468
00:26:07,319 --> 00:26:07,880
Sir,
469
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,920
last night Lord Ye
470
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,519
personally arrested Lord Changxing
471
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:12,960
and asked to be imprisoned too.
472
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:14,359
They've both been taken away.
473
00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:18,680
I was worried that,
474
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,880
because of Ms. Gu,
475
00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:21,519
he wouldn't trust you anymore.
476
00:26:21,799 --> 00:26:22,680
I didn't expect him
477
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:24,400
to go through with it.
478
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,359
He's got guts.
479
00:26:28,599 --> 00:26:30,039
What's
480
00:26:31,319 --> 00:26:32,880
our next move?
481
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:37,640
Stir things up.
482
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,440
What do you mean?
483
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,720
Lord Changxing holds too much prestige.
484
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:46,960
Master
485
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,880
doesn't just want him dead.
486
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:49,839
He wants
487
00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:51,000
his reputation destroyed.
488
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,400
His Majesty wants to save him
489
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,039
but won't
490
00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:57,200
get support in court.
491
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,720
So we have to find another way.
492
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,440
Ye Xian arresting his dad
493
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,519
is a grave breach of filial duty.
494
00:27:02,599 --> 00:27:03,680
But he voluntarily walked to prison.
495
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,279
That proves they're innocent.
496
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:06,960
Those two facts together
497
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:08,759
can cause a stir across the capital.
498
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,000
Once the public outcry is strong enough,
499
00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:14,200
His Majesty has grounds to intervene
500
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,400
and can find reasons
501
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:18,559
to reduce the sentence.
502
00:27:20,279 --> 00:27:21,279
Brilliant.
503
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,519
Of all charges,
504
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,240
disrespecting the throne is the most slippery.
505
00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:28,759
Built on rumors,
506
00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:30,200
with no solid proof.
507
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,599
It's the easiest way to pin a crime
508
00:27:32,599 --> 00:27:34,119
on someone out of thin air.
509
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,119
And because there's no evidence,
510
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,920
it can be punished harshly
511
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:41,880
or
512
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,680
quietly dismissed.
513
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:56,519
But what I can do
514
00:27:58,079 --> 00:28:00,079
is only to preserve Mr. Ye's reputation.
515
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,759
As for saving his life,
516
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:05,200
that's hard.
517
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,160
Ruixiang,
518
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,440
bring me another wine.
519
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,440
Stop drinking.
520
00:28:23,839 --> 00:28:25,279
You've already had two.
521
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:26,440
Don't you always
522
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:27,720
look down on people
523
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:28,880
who drown their sorrows in drink?
524
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,319
You say they have no backbone,
525
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:31,640
and that
526
00:28:31,759 --> 00:28:32,920
if someone angers you, just stab them.
527
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,279
Why are you acting like this now?
528
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:36,720
Stab them?
529
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:37,759
Who?
530
00:28:38,559 --> 00:28:39,359
Your brother?
531
00:28:39,519 --> 00:28:40,519
I can't beat him.
532
00:28:40,839 --> 00:28:42,599
Ye Xian? I couldn't bring myself to.
533
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,599
Maybe
534
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,000
I'll stab
535
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,319
Gu Jinzhao instead.
536
00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:49,640
Stop talking nonsense.
537
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,279
It's not like you have grudges against her.
538
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,519
Don't tell me
539
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:53,680
you like Yanyun?
540
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,680
Who said I'm into
541
00:28:56,319 --> 00:28:57,640
the scheming type?
542
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:00,240
The one I like is Ye Xian.
543
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:01,759
Well, problem solved.
544
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,680
Jinzhao doesn't like him.
545
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:04,920
She isn't competing with you.
546
00:29:05,039 --> 00:29:06,359
That's the problem.
547
00:29:06,359 --> 00:29:07,920
I'd rather she did.
548
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,519
At least then
549
00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:10,759
we could have a fight.
550
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,200
But now?
551
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,119
She acts like she doesn't care,
552
00:29:13,119 --> 00:29:14,319
while Xian's lost his mind.
553
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,960
Storming the Gu Manor
554
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,440
and trying to kill Yanyun in the street.
555
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:19,920
But that's very much my style.
556
00:29:21,799 --> 00:29:22,720
Yeah.
557
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,440
I never thought he
558
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,319
would like Jinzhao that much.
559
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:27,799
And I definitely
560
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:28,480
didn't expect
561
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,680
Yanyun to be charmed by her too.
562
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:30,519
You know what,
563
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:31,400
he went against
564
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,440
my mom over her
565
00:29:33,079 --> 00:29:33,640
and even
566
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,079
invited Mrs. He to act as matchmaker.
567
00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:36,640
I've never
568
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,519
seen him like this over anyone.
569
00:29:39,079 --> 00:29:40,960
But honestly,
570
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:41,880
it's hard
571
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,200
not to like Jinzhao.
572
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,519
Says who?
573
00:29:45,839 --> 00:29:47,200
She's a terrible friend.
574
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,039
She knew I liked Xian.
575
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,000
Why didn't she tell me
576
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,200
he liked her?
577
00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:52,720
She just wanted to laugh at me.
578
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,359
Don't be mad.
579
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,279
I don't think she
580
00:29:56,279 --> 00:29:57,680
meant to hide it from you.
581
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,720
Think about it.
582
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,359
She's unmarried,
583
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:01,599
and you two aren't very close.
584
00:30:01,839 --> 00:30:02,720
You suddenly
585
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:03,720
tell her you like Xian.
586
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,079
What is she supposed to say?
587
00:30:05,319 --> 00:30:05,960
You expect her to say
588
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,240
'don't bother, he likes me,
589
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:08,200
but I don't like him back'?
590
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:09,400
You...
591
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,519
You're confusing me.
592
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,319
Anyway, whether she
593
00:30:15,319 --> 00:30:16,240
meant it or not,
594
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,599
she's my rival now.
595
00:30:17,759 --> 00:30:19,079
I'm not making friends with her,
596
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:21,799
and neither are you.
597
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:24,359
I don't need to be her friend.
598
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,279
She's going to be my sister-in-law.
599
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:28,759
You brat,
600
00:30:28,759 --> 00:30:29,599
get over here.
601
00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:30,799
Miss! Miss!
602
00:30:30,799 --> 00:30:31,440
Bad news.
603
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,519
Lord Ye
604
00:30:35,519 --> 00:30:36,880
is thrown in the Punishment Bureau prison.
605
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:37,799
What?
606
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:39,039
What happened?
607
00:30:39,279 --> 00:30:40,720
The Censor impeached
608
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:41,920
Lord Changxing for disrespecting the Emperor.
609
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,279
His Majesty ordered a severe punishment.
610
00:30:43,519 --> 00:30:44,079
Lord Ye
611
00:30:44,079 --> 00:30:45,400
arrested Lord Changxing
612
00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:47,759
and asked to be imprisoned with him.
613
00:30:50,359 --> 00:30:51,039
Could you go
614
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:52,000
beg Yanyun
615
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,240
and ask him to save Xian?
616
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:54,680
I...
617
00:30:55,359 --> 00:30:56,680
He never lets the family
618
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:57,920
meddle in court affairs.
619
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,400
I doubt he'd listen to me.
620
00:31:02,839 --> 00:31:03,319
Fine.
621
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:05,519
If he won't listen to you,
622
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:06,759
I'll find
623
00:31:06,759 --> 00:31:07,839
someone he will.
624
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,079
What?
625
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,279
Xian's in the Punishment Bureau prison?
626
00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:19,359
It happened last night.
627
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,160
It's said that
628
00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:22,519
Lord Changxing's
629
00:31:22,519 --> 00:31:23,519
committed a grave crime
630
00:31:23,599 --> 00:31:24,640
and will be dealt with harshly.
631
00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:25,759
Both Lord Changxing and Young Lord
632
00:31:25,759 --> 00:31:26,920
have been locked up.
633
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:31,559
Jinzhao.
634
00:31:31,799 --> 00:31:32,559
Aunt Ye.
635
00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:34,160
Xian and my dad
636
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,519
have been imprisoned.
637
00:31:36,039 --> 00:31:36,599
I have
638
00:31:36,599 --> 00:31:37,640
no other options,
639
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:38,720
so I come to beg you.
640
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,920
Could you go
641
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,240
ask Lord Chen
642
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,079
to save them?
643
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:46,160
Don't.
644
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:46,920
Please get up.
645
00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:48,319
I heard about it too.
646
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,839
I was just about to
647
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,839
speak with Mr. Chen about it.
648
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:52,279
You mustn't go.
649
00:31:58,559 --> 00:31:59,240
Ye,
650
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:02,119
didn't I warn you
651
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:04,079
not to come begging Jinzhao?
652
00:32:04,519 --> 00:32:05,759
Why won't you listen?
653
00:32:06,519 --> 00:32:07,359
Ye Xian caused
654
00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:08,319
such a scene that day.
655
00:32:09,519 --> 00:32:11,119
You still have the nerve to ask Jinzhao
656
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,759
to beg Lord Chen?
657
00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:15,240
Don't you know what crime
658
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,359
your dad is accused of?
659
00:32:17,039 --> 00:32:18,000
Disrespecting the Emperor.
660
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:19,519
The entire Ye clan could be wiped out.
661
00:32:20,319 --> 00:32:21,160
You think
662
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:22,720
the Gu family hasn't
663
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:23,640
suffered enough?
664
00:32:24,359 --> 00:32:25,359
And now you wanna
665
00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:27,279
drag us down with your family?
666
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:28,519
Don't forget
667
00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:30,759
you're my daughter-in-law now.
668
00:32:31,559 --> 00:32:32,960
I've married into the Gu family,
669
00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:34,440
but I'm still a daughter of the Ye family.
670
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:36,559
If you fear I'll drag you into this,
671
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,160
have Dexiu write me a letter of divorce.
672
00:32:38,519 --> 00:32:39,519
You think I
673
00:32:39,519 --> 00:32:40,480
wouldn't dare?
674
00:32:41,359 --> 00:32:42,079
I'm warning you.
675
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,400
Lord Changxing cannot
676
00:32:44,759 --> 00:32:45,559
protect you anymore.
677
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:47,960
Fine.
678
00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:50,400
Back when my family was at its peak,
679
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,039
you were eager
680
00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:53,039
to curry our favor.
681
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,200
When we're in trouble,
682
00:32:55,799 --> 00:32:56,920
you turn your backs
683
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,000
and cut ties.
684
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,960
You bunch of shameless snobs.
685
00:33:01,319 --> 00:33:02,920
Just have Dexiu divorce me.
686
00:33:03,319 --> 00:33:04,759
You disgust me.
687
00:33:06,839 --> 00:33:07,480
Jinzhao,
688
00:33:08,279 --> 00:33:09,279
I don't mean you.
689
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:10,559
I know
690
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:11,759
I'm asking the impossible.
691
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,319
But I have no other way.
692
00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:14,599
You're my only hope.
693
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,599
Aunt Ye, don't worry.
694
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,200
I've promised to help you,
695
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,519
and I will.
696
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:20,519
Jinzhao.
697
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:22,960
Grandma,
698
00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:24,720
even if you make Uncle Dexiu
699
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,119
divorce Aunt Ye now,
700
00:33:26,119 --> 00:33:27,440
our two families are still bound together.
701
00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:28,880
If Lord Changxing falls,
702
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,960
what good
703
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,160
does that do us?
704
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:32,440
We're family.
705
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:33,519
If we don't help them now,
706
00:33:33,559 --> 00:33:34,519
then when?
707
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:35,720
Jinzhao,
708
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,359
I've heard Ye Xian
709
00:33:37,559 --> 00:33:39,839
tried to kill Lord Chen in the street.
710
00:33:41,079 --> 00:33:42,000
I've heard that too.
711
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,319
That's why
712
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,519
I have to go.
713
00:33:52,279 --> 00:33:53,079
Qinglan?
714
00:33:57,599 --> 00:33:58,039
You're here
715
00:33:58,039 --> 00:33:59,559
for Xian as well?
716
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,279
That's right.
717
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:03,079
If you still consider
718
00:34:03,079 --> 00:34:04,000
him a friend,
719
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,559
then ask your Yanyun
720
00:34:05,559 --> 00:34:06,240
to save him.
721
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,199
Have a seat.
722
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,519
So,
723
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,280
is there any hope for Lord Changxing?
724
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:36,840
Originally, none.
725
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:37,800
But
726
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,679
Ye Xian is in prison too.
727
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,880
Now
728
00:34:42,519 --> 00:34:43,960
there's a slight chance.
729
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:46,719
Right.
730
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:48,360
That day,
731
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,000
Lord Changxing was accused of rebellion.
732
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,159
Xian risked his life to protect His Majesty,
733
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,519
which proved those charges false.
734
00:34:57,159 --> 00:34:59,000
Now he's gone to prison
735
00:34:59,199 --> 00:35:00,719
with his father.
736
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,960
It may turn the tide again.
737
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,239
More than that.
738
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:07,400
He can also
739
00:35:07,679 --> 00:35:09,079
keep Mr. Ye safe.
740
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:10,679
What?
741
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:12,119
Someone's planning
742
00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:13,840
to kill him in there?
743
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:15,440
Just a precaution.
744
00:35:18,599 --> 00:35:20,800
Do you have any way to save Xian?
745
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,079
I do,
746
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:23,440
but
747
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:25,360
it would mean wronging you.
748
00:35:32,079 --> 00:35:33,280
I'm putting you
749
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,519
in charge of the Ye family case.
750
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,239
But I
751
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:38,280
haven't been reinstated.
752
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,880
After the case
753
00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:44,599
is closed,
754
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:46,679
you can resume your position.
755
00:35:48,639 --> 00:35:49,519
Master, thanks.
756
00:35:50,559 --> 00:35:51,320
But
757
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,920
I'm not sure
758
00:35:53,559 --> 00:35:54,960
if it's appropriate.
759
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,000
I've heard that
760
00:36:02,559 --> 00:36:03,320
Ye Xian
761
00:36:04,159 --> 00:36:05,559
tried to kill you
762
00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:08,159
in broad daylight.
763
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:09,880
That's outrageous.
764
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:12,199
If you hadn't let it slide,
765
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,760
that alone would have been enough
766
00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:16,800
to condemn
767
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,840
Lord Changxing.
768
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:23,679
It's nothing.
769
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:25,920
I thought it was
770
00:36:26,159 --> 00:36:27,400
just a private matter.
771
00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:29,519
No need to make a fuss.
772
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,159
But now
773
00:36:31,679 --> 00:36:33,119
the whole court knows,
774
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,639
and everyone thinks he and I
775
00:36:36,039 --> 00:36:36,920
are sworn enemies.
776
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,679
If I preside
777
00:36:39,159 --> 00:36:40,719
over this case,
778
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,199
people will say
779
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,079
I can't possibly be impartial.
780
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,639
Let them talk.
781
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,519
Those who protest
782
00:36:49,519 --> 00:36:51,440
are allies of the Ye family.
783
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,599
I was just looking for
784
00:36:54,159 --> 00:36:55,840
an excuse.
785
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:57,559
Handle it as you see fit.
786
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:58,760
Leave the rest to me.
787
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:01,679
Yes.
788
00:37:02,599 --> 00:37:03,039
Master,
789
00:37:03,559 --> 00:37:04,280
in that case,
790
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,079
I won't waste any time.
791
00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:06,280
I'll
792
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:07,599
go back
793
00:37:08,039 --> 00:37:08,920
to prepare for the trial.
794
00:37:10,159 --> 00:37:10,760
Go ahead.
795
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,360
Your Excellency.
796
00:37:39,599 --> 00:37:42,000
You always have ways
797
00:37:42,159 --> 00:37:44,119
to deal with Yanyun.
798
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,159
I'm doing this
799
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:46,320
all for you.
800
00:37:47,039 --> 00:37:48,000
When I was in prison,
801
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,000
I kept wondering
802
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,599
who sent Ye Xian to Shanxi
803
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,079
and how he arrived precisely on time.
804
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:54,800
Then I recalled
805
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,280
Prince Glorian's
806
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:57,920
rebellion days ago.
807
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,159
Ye Xian also entered the palace
808
00:38:00,159 --> 00:38:01,199
at just the right moment.
809
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,800
Put those two together,
810
00:38:04,039 --> 00:38:04,800
and I'm certain
811
00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:06,639
someone on our side
812
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,280
has been secretly
813
00:38:08,519 --> 00:38:10,039
helping him all along.
814
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:15,199
And who do you think...
815
00:38:15,199 --> 00:38:16,639
It can't be me,
816
00:38:17,159 --> 00:38:18,159
and certainly not you.
817
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:19,440
He Wenxin only
818
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,840
cares about keeping his position
819
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:23,480
and never has ties
820
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:24,400
with Lord Changxing.
821
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:27,159
That leaves only one person,
822
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:30,800
Yanyun,
823
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,800
unless he comes down hard
824
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,000
on Lord Changxing this time.
825
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:36,360
Otherwise...
826
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:43,840
Sir,
827
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:45,440
word from Mr. Jiang.
828
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:46,719
As you predicted,
829
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:48,639
Wang Xuanfan went to
830
00:38:48,639 --> 00:38:49,880
His Excellency's manor early this morning
831
00:38:50,519 --> 00:38:51,159
and hasn't come out since.
832
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,480
He's trying to
833
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:54,840
turn Master against me.
834
00:39:00,599 --> 00:39:02,039
Tell the Punishment Bureau
835
00:39:03,039 --> 00:39:03,960
I'll interrogate Mr. Ye
836
00:39:05,079 --> 00:39:06,519
and Ye Xian tomorrow morning.
837
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:12,280
I don't need you in here with me.
838
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:16,440
Dad,
839
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:17,960
your injuries haven't healed.
840
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,119
Just save your strength.
841
00:39:24,039 --> 00:39:25,440
Looks like this time Fu Hailian
842
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:27,519
is determined to kill me.
843
00:39:28,039 --> 00:39:29,119
You're here to keep me company?
844
00:39:29,559 --> 00:39:31,039
You think that makes you a good son?
845
00:39:31,039 --> 00:39:31,840
How foolish.
846
00:39:32,599 --> 00:39:33,880
Get yourself out.
847
00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:35,039
Protect your mom
848
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:36,239
and your sister.
849
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,719
If our family falls, so be it.
850
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,880
You never want to inherit the title anyway.
851
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,039
Just stop talking.
852
00:39:47,519 --> 00:39:48,000
This way.
853
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:54,760
Why are you here?
854
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,039
Greetings,
855
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:06,079
Lord Changxing.
856
00:40:09,599 --> 00:40:10,719
Fu Hailian
857
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,360
sent you to interrogate me, right?
858
00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:14,639
Why doesn't he come himself?
859
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,440
Always scheming
860
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,159
from the shadows.
861
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,079
And he dare call himself
862
00:40:22,079 --> 00:40:23,440
devoted and loyal?
863
00:40:27,039 --> 00:40:29,000
His Excellency is busy
864
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,039
and cannot come in person.
865
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:31,960
But
866
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:33,360
I will be sure
867
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:34,159
to pass
868
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:35,760
your words on.
869
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,440
My son is
870
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:43,840
a bit simple-minded.
871
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,639
He came in because he feared
872
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:47,880
I'd suffer here.
873
00:40:49,199 --> 00:40:50,880
This has nothing to do with him.
874
00:40:52,199 --> 00:40:53,280
Release him first.
875
00:40:53,599 --> 00:40:54,039
Dad.
876
00:40:54,159 --> 00:40:54,760
Shut up.
877
00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:58,960
Your love for your son
878
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:00,760
is truly moving.
879
00:41:02,039 --> 00:41:02,559
But
880
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,679
perhaps you don't know
881
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:06,159
he
882
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,440
nearly stabbed me
883
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:08,679
to death in the street.
884
00:41:09,119 --> 00:41:10,639
The fact that I'm standing here
885
00:41:11,519 --> 00:41:12,519
is sheer luck.
886
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,159
The food here is crude.
887
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,159
I'm sure neither of you
888
00:41:17,599 --> 00:41:18,719
has appetite
889
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:19,639
for it.
890
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:21,800
Then don't eat.
891
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,039
Take it all away.
892
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,599
How dare you...
893
00:41:26,039 --> 00:41:26,880
What are you doing?
894
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,199
I'm
895
00:41:29,519 --> 00:41:30,920
in charge of this case.
896
00:41:31,199 --> 00:41:32,079
Lord Ye,
897
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,920
you better watch your mouth.
898
00:41:38,199 --> 00:41:38,679
Sir,
899
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,039
the prisoners are awaiting trial.
900
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,519
We must keep them alive.
901
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:50,119
Bring Lord Changxing over.
902
00:41:50,559 --> 00:41:50,920
Yes.
903
00:41:51,679 --> 00:41:52,119
Guards.
904
00:42:11,639 --> 00:42:13,519
Ask whatever you want.
905
00:42:13,519 --> 00:42:15,920
My conscience is clear.
906
00:42:17,599 --> 00:42:18,360
I
907
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:19,880
have nothing to ask.
908
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,360
These are my charges?
909
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:32,559
Your confession, actually.
910
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,840
You've admitted to
911
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:37,039
every charge.
912
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,280
All that's left is
913
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:39,840
your signature and thumbprint.
914
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:03,880
Sir?
915
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,719
The country is on the brink of ruin
916
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,559
because of treacherous officials like you.
917
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,519
Even if it costs me my life,
918
00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,000
I'll rid the state of a scourge like you.
919
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,679
Mighty Lord Changxing,
920
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,800
still as imposing as ever.
921
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:31,440
But don't forget
922
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,159
your son is in my hands.50759
