=Episode 4=

Madam. Don't, Madam.

Don't do this, Madam.

Madam!

Madam.

- Chun. - Chun.

- Chun. - Chun.

- Chun. - Chun.

Chun, are you all right?

- No. - Chun.

Let me go.

Chun.

How could you

do something so foolish?

On my wedding day, I sprained my ankle.

He noticed that

and carried me all the way back.

He even wiped my foot with medicinal liquor.

If I hadn't experienced love,

I'd surrender to fate.

But I once had

such a wonderful man.

I can't spend the rest of my life alone.

Let me go.

Chun. Chun.

Chun!

If your death could restart everything,

we would not stop you.

But what you're doing

will only bring us trouble.

It won't help at all.

No matter who dies,

life must move on.

That's not true.

That's not.

Let me go.

Dying is easy.

But what about Lingchun?

Lingchun.

Lingchun, my son.

You and Shu loved each other.

Lingchun has lived happily since he was born.

Suddenly, he lost his father.

How could you let him lose his mother too?

Chun.

All men in our family

are unyielding.

Your husband not only defended

our nation and its people.

He also wanted you to be carefree.

Chun,

you are his wife

and madam of the second branch.

My eldest son never married.

So, you're just like

my eldest daughter-in-law.

You've been taking care of this family

and haven't put a foot wrong.

(Wei) Now,

I'm entrusting you with the Commanding Jade Seal

of this family.

Hope you will not

(Wei) let me down.

Chun.

- Madam. - Chun.

Mother,

I won't do such a foolish thing again.

I promise you.

Unless I'm dead,

I will always protect this family.

Don't cry, Chun.

- Mother. - Don't.

Mother.

Chun.

(Wei Yun,)

(you didn't protect your family.)

(You're in no position to comfort them.)

Chu Yu.

What on earth

do you want from us?

What do you mean?

My big brother is dead.

But you're determined to be his widow.

What on earth

are you up to?

What if I simply like Wei Jun?

Others may

buy that lie.

But you won't fool me.

You made a scene at the Spring Breeze House

and you came here today.

You've been plotting this all along.

Is it for my big brother

or actually for this family?

Wei Yun,

instead of suspecting my purpose,

why don't you think

about how you can get justice

for your lost family and dead soldiers?

Yun.

Back in there,

you saved Chun in time.

I had my reservations about you.

- Now... - Mother.

Don't let her fool you.

Stop being so rude to her.

I'm going to the mourning hall.

Yun is

in great distress.

If he comes off as offensive,

please don't mind.

I won't.

It's not easy for you to trust me.

And anyway,

Wei Yun had a narrow escape

from the battlefield.

I have something to say as well.

You're a different daughter-in-law.

My eldest son

didn't marry you

with a formal wedding.

After the funeral,

you can think it through.

You're free to go home anytime.

Do not waste

your youth here.

All right.

I'll think it through

and let you know.

Before, Brother and I

tried really hard,

only to find out about a mountain.

You think you can get more information

by simply rummaging around?

I was just trying to see

what I could do to help.

You must not touch

Mr. Wei Jun's stuff.

Since Father died,

I've locked up

his study.

Everything in there

is kept the way it was.

Every time I see it,

I feel as if he were still around me.

Mr. Wei Jun was upright and honest.

Pretend I'm doing the same

for his own brother.

What's wrong?

Let me see.

How did it end up like this?

You leave it alone.

Does it hurt?

It's the first day you've been here

and you're already hurt.

What's going to happen in the future?

My Lady,

what are your plans?

We'll help them through this crisis.

They're in such big trouble.

Maybe it's related

to the leak of the octagonal crossbow.

I'm at the center of the vortex

and I have to be involved.

Otherwise, I will be consumed by it.

But I see General Wei Yun

press you really hard.

I'm afraid

you will have a really hard time

in this mansion.

I'm worried that...

Don't worry.

Mr. Wei Jun just died in battle.

I suddenly

became his widow.

If I were Wei Yun,

I'd be suspicious too.

Once I find out the truth, I will leave.

I don't want to be a burden.

As for Wei Yun...

We'll cross that bridge

when we come to it.

(True Might)

Kneel.

Read the funeral oration

to tell their stories.

The 27th day of the 7th month

marked the border crisis.

My father, brothers, and I rushed there.

We fought for seven days and nights

before repelling the enemy.

That night, we drank.

My brothers and I

got drunk on the city tower.

I was too young

to know the life meaning.

So, I asked my brothers

what they would wish for.

My big brother said

he wished for world peace

and justice everywhere.

My other brothers hailed.

I asked again,

"In case of world peace,

what will you want to do?"

(Wei's Ancestral Hall)

My brother smiled and replied,

"Watch the willows in spring.

Enjoy the snow in winter.

Drink with friends

and get drunk in the restaurant.

It's dangerous on the battlefield.

Yet it's romantic in Huajing City.

We're just ordinary guys.

Whatever happens,

we'll go back to loving families.

That's enough."

First come, first draw.

- Yun. - Yun.

Don't cheat.

Father.

When will Yun

truly grow up?

Father, if he can always

remain so carefree,

isn't that great?

(Wei)

Raise the coffins!

Isn't he the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?

What's he doing here?

I'm Minister Cao Yan of the Court.

I was sent to get sinful Wei Yun.

Mr. Cao,

what crime did I commit?

Your family overreached,

causing the death of 70,000 soldiers

in Baidi Valley.

Even in death,

they are held responsible.

Oh, I see.

All those soldiers

lost their lives in vain

just because of your family!

Thousands of our soldiers

spilled their blood

and gave their lives

to contribute for a century

to your family's glory.

How could you still be greedy?

The Weis are murderers.

Since Wei Yun is still alive,

hold him accountable.

- Hold him accountable! - Hold him accountable!

We demand justice from the court!

We demand justice! We demand justice!

General Wei Yun,

did you hear?

This is what our people want.

I advise you

not to resist arrest.

Otherwise,

I'll have to be rude.

Yun.

It's him.

- It's him. - It's him.

What are you doing? Stop it.

- Stop. - Lan, be careful.

Stop it.

No.

That's not true.

You're to blame.

Our family isn't...

- Mother. - Mother.

Mother.

Mr. Cao,

my father and brothers aren't buried.

Sorry, but right now,

I can't go with you.

That's not a problem.

Somebody.

Take these criminals' coffins

back to our court too.

Yes.

Wait.

Mr. Cao,

when you enjoyed your life here,

Wei's 70,000 soldiers

were fighting a bloody battle

to defend our nation.

So, Mr. Cao,

please show some respect for them.

Let's not make a move

until they're buried.

Respect?

Ms. Chu,

take a close look.

What wood is used

for their coffins?

What patterns are on them?

And what paint is used?

The wood, patterns,

and paint are used

according to the ranking

of Marquis of Zhenguo and his sons.

Nothing is wrong.

Ridiculous.

Wei Zhong and his sons are sinful.

By law,

they can only be buried as commoners.

They don't deserve such good coffins.

- Somebody. - Here.

Go to the east of town

and buy some ordinary coffins.

I'm being really generous.

Your family has collapsed.

These coffins

will be my present

for you.

Don't bother to thank me, General.

Ms. Chu,

don't try to stop me anymore.

Go back home

and live with Wei Jun's tablet.

Cao Yan,

I dare you

to touch their coffins!

Guards.

Take out the bodies

of Wei Zhong and his sons.

Yes.

- Stop! - What are you doing?

No.

Cao Yan!

If you hurt their bodies,

I will slaughter your entire family!

You don't know if or when my family

will be slaughtered.

But I know

every single one of yours

will die very soon.

- Wei Yun. - Go away!

Yun.

Cao Yan,

don't go too far!

You wouldn't dare

to kill an official right here.

If you take one more step forward,

I will kill you!

I just did, so what?

Wei Yun.

No, Yun.

Yun.

No.

Don't do that.

Yun.

Cao Yan.

Why are you pushing us like this?

Trying to exterminate us?

Then, today,

I will kill myself

to clear our name.

My family

has a clear conscience.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother.

- Mother. - Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Yun.

Don't cry.

A soldier seldom

gets to be with his wife in life

or see her in death.

Mother has to leave you alone.

I'm going to see your father.

Our family rule.

Our family rule.

Defend the nation and the throne.

Hold no regrets.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother!

This is the Wei family!

Why did you do this

to this family of loyal heroes?

It's still in broad daylight.

Cao Yan,

you killed an innocent woman!

You killed an innocent woman!

What are you doing?

Mother demonstrated with her life

that we had a century-old reputation

and we would never attack an official.

So, we will

defend their coffins with our bodies.

None of us

will hurt our own people.

We must not fight.

I'm here at the order of His Majesty.

Are you

trying to defy His Majesty?

How dare some wives of criminals

stand in my way?

Get out of my way.

Out of my way!

Move aside.

Get out of the way.

Don't move.

Cao Yan,

you're going too far!

Cao Yan, I dare you

to hurt these loyal people.

They defended our nation for ages.

How could you deny their contributions

just because of one mere defeat?

- We don't agree! - Yeah.

We don't agree!

- We don't! - We don't!

That's right.

You're hurting innocent people.

This is infuriating!

These stubborn people

are interfering.

Take them back too!

Let them go.

Let go!

Let go!

Let them go!

Let go! Let go!

Back off.

- Back off. - Let go.

Cao Yan.

When you insulted me that day,

did you see this coming?

Let go.

Let go.

Cao Yan.

Let go!

Wei Yun,

what else are you trying to say?

Don't hurt these people.

I'll go with you.

- General Wei Yun. - Don't.

Yun.

- Don't. - Just don't.

Yeah.

Are you sure?

Today, if you dare

to hurt anyone present,

I will kill you right here.

Try me, if you dare.

Take him.

Yes.

Cao Yan.

Grand Tutor.

(Xie Mingyi, the Grand Tutor)

Unshackle him.

Grand Tutor,

what do you mean?

How dare you be so impudent

in front of these loyal souls?

Cao Yan,

the Weis aren't convicted yet.

Even if they are,

they'll still be a noble family.

Unless His Majesty

strips away their nobility,

they're still the family of Marquis of Zhenguo.

Rites and laws are the emperor's prestige.

Do you

show no respect for His Majesty?

Grand Tutor,

you get me wrong.

His Majesty sent me.

If I can't bring back this sinful man,

I'm afraid I'll lose my life.

Do you have to rush within just one hour?

Or are you actually

taking revenge for yourself?

I was too hasty.

Grand Tutor, please don't blame me.

I'm also concerned with rites and laws.

But I guess we understand them

in different ways.

In this case,

General Wei Yun...

You may proceed.

My men and I

will wait behind you.

Grand Tutor.

I'd like to thank you on behalf of my family.

You...

- Thank you, Grand Tutor. - Thank you.

Don't do this.

Get up now.

Don't do this.

Get up.

Since Mother died

for our father-in-law,

let's bury them in the same coffin.

Rest in peace, Your Lordship!

Rest in peace, generals!

Rest in peace, Your Lordship!

Rest in peace, generals!

Kneel.

Kowtow.

(Filial piety never fades.)

(Blessings linger forever.)

Kowtow again.

(Filial piety never fades.)

I, Wei Yun, hereby swear.

If I come back alive,

I will live up to your expectations.

I'll find out the truth,

protect our family,

and defend our nation.

General Wei Yun,

can we go now?

Cao Yan,

if you dare

to lay one finger on him,

we will become your sworn enemies.

Wei Yun.

Take care.

Even if you're up to something,

you don't need

to waste your life there.

Go back home.

You should worry about yourself.

Cao Yan won't let you off.

You'll have a hard time in prison.

Your family is in trouble.

I won't just stand by.

My sisters-in-law,

take care.

Yun.

Whoa, easy.

I just won't be.

So, you'll learn your lesson.

You should have protected yourself.

Why didn't you take me during the day?

Had I been there,

I could have protected you.

You?

You're so hot-tempered.

Had you been there,

you would have fought Cao Yan.

Messing with him

wouldn't do you any good.

I don't care.

Cao Yan is

a terrible guy, anyway.

General Wei Yun is in prison.

No one here can restrain us.

Let's search around

and then go back home.

We can't leave now.

And we must get Wei Yun out.

He lost his father and brothers.

Even his mother...

Anyone who feels sympathy

would step up like me.

My Lady,

did they remind you

of your own father?

We don't have

a family rule

to defend the nation or hold no regrets.

Father kept telling me

death was always a part of battle

and I should protect myself.

But everybody feels sympathy.

When I just came here yesterday,

I didn't understand.

But anyway,

they moved me.

In my opinion,

people defend this nation

in different ways.

But all in all,

they share the same goal.

Yeah.

Some wanted to live

but ended up dead.

There are always people who sacrifice for justice.

Those people are heroes.

Since I can't be one of them,

I should protect them

from being insulted.

What happened today

hardened my resolve

to find out the truth

of the crossbow case.

But once we manage

to get General Wei Yun out,

won't it be harder

to investigate that case?

Only after I get Wei Yun out

can I feel more secure.

The Arsenal Bureau

is an important military site.

If Wei Yun is convicted

and his family falls,

the supervisor of the Arsenal Bureau

will be someone else.

Then, it'll be harder to sneak in.

For whatever reason,

I have to get Wei Yun out.

Then, My Lady,

have you come up with a plan?

(The Court of Judicial Review)

My Lord.

My Lord.

Please let us out.

We're innocent.

My Lord.

My Lord.

It's stuffy in here.

In case you can hardly breathe,

I had you attended to first.

If looks could kill,

I'm afraid

you'd have killed me a thousand times.

But under such circumstances,

even if I let you down,

would you dare to kill me?

You never had any conflict with us.

Someone must have ordered you,

so you dared to exterminate us.

We always handle a case

under the order of authorities.

But this time,

it's His Majesty who gave an order.

I don't think it's His Majesty.

It's...

The Duke of Ning.

If my family falls,

the one who benefits the most

will be the Duke of Ning, head of the civil officials.

Cao Yan,

His Majesty hates the clique thing most.

You're knowingly defying him.

You're truly Wei Zhong's son.

Wei Yun,

you're really clever.

But sadly,

even if you know the truth,

what can you do to me?

You don't think

you can leave alive,

do you?

Wei Yun,

your family got 70,000 soldiers killed.

Do you or do you not

plead guilty?

We are innocent.

Not guilty!

Very well.
