1
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,160
Why are you doing this?
2
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,280
Aren't you afraid of him?
really kill you?
3
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,880
Kill me?
4
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,160
If he kills me, the palace will be in chaos.
5
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,760
That's just the Grand Princess' way of humiliating me
6
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,440
and vent his anger.
7
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,480
So, you betrayed the alliance
8
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,080
and make him your enemy?
9
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:12,040
Alliance?
10
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,640
When had he ever cared about this?
11
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:16,800
He handed over a plaque
Imperial Guard Troops
12
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,320
to unknown people
from the Xie Family.
13
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:20,640
What is an alliance intention?
14
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,160
However, if the plaque is in your hands,
15
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,360
what are the chances?
The Grand Princess can live?
16
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,440
Xiao Xun must not die.
17
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,000
At least not now.
18
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,120
Why?
19
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,000
Is this the way out you mean?
20
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,000
The Past Emperor's Will.
21
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,920
In the past, Xiao Xun was appointed
Former Emperor
22
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,080
to inherit the throne.
23
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,040
However, because of the incident after that,
24
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:17,080
the throne was finally given to Xiao Yu.
25
00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:20,720
THE DAY BEFORE
26
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,640
Mr Successor.
27
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:28,000
Now the Successor's Residence is so quiet,
28
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760
even sparrows are reluctant to come close.
29
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,120
The Professor even dared to contact him
Tieying first.
30
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,360
This really rarely happens.
31
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,400
Has Mr Successor ever heard
32
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,040
"Hidden dragon at the bottom of the abyss"?
33
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,920
The Great Teacher comes at night,
34
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:52,880
do you want to teach me to read faces?
35
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,400
Unfortunately,
This time the Great Teacher misjudged.
36
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,400
The person standing in front of you now
is not a hidden dragon,
37
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,960
but rather fish on a cutting board.
38
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,320
No.
39
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,360
I came to show you the way
for Mr. Successor.
40
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,440
Road to Xiaonan Prefecture,
41
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,000
and the way to get
return to your glory.
42
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,840
Why do you want to help me?
43
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400
I've seen it
palace intrigue for years.
44
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,680
always full of deception.
45
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,560
I don't dare risk everything
46
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,720
on one side only.
47
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,040
It was like that before, it's the same now.
48
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,680
I help you because I have
options that are more worth betting on.
49
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,960
This is the Old Emperor's will.
50
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,360
The person he should be
inheriting the throne is you.
51
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,760
Sir Successor's guess was correct.
52
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,560
This is a fake will.
53
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,160
- You...
- But I also have the original one.
54
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,240
The emperor had just ascended the throne.
55
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,040
Aren't you afraid of being accused of rebellion?
56
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Holding the knife must be steady,
see the game must be clear.
57
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:36,040
In the past, I chose Chu Zhao
because he gave me a promise.
58
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,920
Now, I choose Mr. Successor
because Chu Zhao broke his promise.
59
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,600
What I wanted from the start
60
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,640
never changes.
61
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,480
Does Sir Successor understand yet?
62
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Later, when the dragon comes out of the abyss,
63
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,120
I will definitely give you
professorship.
64
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,200
Professor. There are guests coming.
65
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,680
The Great Teacher has even prepared
a coffin for himself?
66
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,920
Not bad for saving palace costs.
67
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,000
Best quality golden sandalwood.
68
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,280
Mr. Xie joked.
69
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,520
This is a gift from the Grand Princess.
70
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,160
I heard when the Former Emperor
destroyed the previous dynasty,
71
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,840
ruler of a defeated country
also use the best quality like this
72
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,160
to burn himself along with his kingdom.
73
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,400
I said wrong.
74
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,800
Mr. Xie, what's the matter?
75
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,840
I came suddenly today
76
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:59,280
because there is something I want to ask.
77
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,160
Does the Great Master know?
78
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,040
about the Grand Princess
besiege King Xiaonan's successor?
79
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Of course.
80
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,640
Then, does the Great Teacher know?
Xiao Xun managed to escape?
81
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:18,720
I know.
82
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,360
Does the Great Teacher know…
83
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,760
who let him escape?
84
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:29,720
I.
85
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:40,480
The Professor's honesty moved me.
86
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,520
I think the Great Master acts like this
87
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,680
because it's not compatible
with the Grand Princess.
88
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,480
However, have you ever thought
how heavy is this coffin?
89
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,840
Are you able to carry it yourself?
90
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,520
Mr. Xie came late at night
in the rain
91
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,880
just to say that?
92
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,600
I'm just curious.
93
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,040
If I let Xiao Xun escape,
94
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,680
Is the Grand Princess brave?
95
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,600
deliver this coffin to the Xie Residence?
96
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,160
Professor,
97
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,400
without extended family support,
still want to play with fire.
98
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,480
Be careful not to
the fire burns you.
99
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,920
I've heard it a long time ago
your chess skills are amazing.
100
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,560
Can I learn through a game?
101
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:37,679
It would be rude if I refused.
102
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,280
YUNZHONG PREFECTURE MILITARY CAMP
103
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,280
General, Northern Desert people
really know our defense.
104
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,360
They even know the positions
secret post clearly.
105
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,560
There must be spies in the military.
106
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,960
Report!
107
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,200
Report! Urgent news from the capital.
108
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,800
The Grand Princess was criticized by officials.
109
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,360
King Xiaonan's successor fled last night.
110
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,840
Fu Jiu, Commander of the Imperial Guard
injured.
111
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,440
Is Jiu seriously injured?
112
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,000
According to the Imperial Physician,
113
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,080
his life was not threatened.
114
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,680
How is Zhao?
115
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,680
The Grand Princess is fine.
116
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,960
Xiao Xun ran away again
to Xiaonan Prefecture.
117
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:20,960
Northern Desert attacked
118
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,880
and really understand the defense of our troops.
119
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Could this be a betrayal from within?
120
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,800
Convey my orders.
121
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,400
The Third Battalion moved to Langya Valley.
122
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,960
The Fifth Battalion ambushed at Yingzui Cliff.
123
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:38,000
Adjust the defense line according to the plan.
124
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,000
Prepare an ambush squad.
125
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,120
Wait for the Northern Desert people to fall into the trap.
126
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,000
Good.
127
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,560
General.
128
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,600
General, what disease are you suffering from?
129
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:57,960
Why is it getting worse day by day?
130
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Even medicine doesn't work anymore.
131
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:02,120
I am alright.
132
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,200
Tomorrow I will lead
own battle.
133
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,320
Can't, your current condition...
134
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,680
This is a military order.
135
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,120
Military orders cannot be challenged.
136
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,000
Good.
137
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,840
Grand Princess.
138
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,400
Commander Xie has been there for three days
recuperating at the palace.
139
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,560
You are indeed the Grand Princess of the State Guard
140
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,160
and no one dared to criticize.
141
00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:35,440
However, there are still limits
between men and women.
142
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,480
Rumors outside will definitely be busy.
143
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:44,400
Since I entered this imperial city,
144
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,160
When do bad rumors ever stop?
145
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:50,880
Supervisory Bureau even
146
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,000
want to carve words
"power-grabbing woman" on my forehead.
147
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:57,560
After all,
148
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,640
The wound had affected internal organs.
149
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,280
If handed over to someone else
and something happens,
150
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,600
I won't calm down.
151
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:08,240
Did the Grand Princess refuse to marry?
152
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,120
with Master Xiao because of Commander Xie?
153
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,320
You've been following me for a long time.
Is that how you judge me?
154
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,280
No.
155
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,840
I'm just talking.
156
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,320
Grand Princess, don't be angry.
157
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,440
Every thread in this palace
I have to hold it tight.
158
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,680
However, he is not just a thread.
159
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,000
He…
160
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,680
different.
161
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,480
What's different?
162
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,040
I did make use of it,
163
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,120
but I believe it more
than anyone else.
164
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:02,120
Anyway…
165
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:05,920
he's different.
166
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,680
Grand Princess, emergency report
from the border.
167
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,000
The Northern Desert attacks Yunzhong Prefecture.
168
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,520
No.
169
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,400
I just made a fake military report.
170
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,080
How can it come true?
171
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,440
Because the Grand Princess faked it
172
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,160
proof that King Xiaonan
in cahoots with the Northern Desert
173
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,920
and wanted to drag down the Xie Family
using Pine Soot Ink,
174
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,720
then he must be ready
175
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,120
face real war.
176
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,200
In strategy games,
177
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,600
have to prepare a backup plan.
178
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,600
Mr. Xie looks polite,
179
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,240
but your way of playing chess is quite cruel.
180
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,800
The Great Master praises too much.
181
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:02,320
I just don't like wasting time.
182
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,880
However, Mr. Xie,
183
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:10,640
in a game of chess,
the most important thing is patience.
184
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,800
When this game starts,
The Great Master is very confident.
185
00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:24,520
That's right, right?
186
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,080
However, now look again.
187
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,920
The situation has changed.
188
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,200
Either my chess game is decent enough
in the eyes of the Great Master or not?
189
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,920
Mr. Xie's chess game is amazing.
190
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,840
- Definitely not an ordinary person.
- Good then.
191
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,600
Because the Professor likes it
watching a chess game,
192
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,960
what if I
play some more?
193
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:02,720
It's just that it's a chess board
too full,
194
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,960
don't be alone
lost his way out.
195
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,480
Are you aware?
196
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,880
Does it still hurt?
197
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,640
I failed to carry out military orders.
198
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,120
I'm the one who dragged you
199
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:53,360
to get hurt like this.
200
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,880
Deng Yi ordered his disciple
201
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,080
open the port with a warrant,
202
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,640
so Xiao Xun could escape
by water.
203
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,200
In this game,
I think everything is perfect.
204
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,640
However, who would have thought...
205
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,080
Palace political chessboard
it's not easy to play.
206
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,800
Such is power.
207
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,520
Tell me how you want
I repay you?
208
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,840
I can grant you one wish.
209
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,840
This lifetime,
I don't believe in gods.
210
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,320
I have no desire.
211
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,320
Then, isn't there something?
what do you want to achieve?
212
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,520
There isn't any.
213
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,640
Okay.
214
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,400
If so, just assume
I saved it first.
215
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,280
Once you know what you want,
216
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,440
just billed me.
217
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:10,720
With your abilities,
You shouldn't be hurt this badly.
218
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,040
What actually happened
on the ship that day?
219
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:19,800
That day…
220
00:17:21,839 --> 00:17:23,200
Tieying used a secret weapon.
221
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,720
I was caught off guard and was ambushed.
222
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,160
Turns out it's true.
223
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,120
They can only wear
such a sneaky way.
224
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,280
Last night, I saw you had a bad dream.
225
00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:41,880
Looks like you have a burden on your mind.
226
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:44,240
Didn't you say it yourself?
227
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,880
everyone has secrets?
228
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:49,960
Correct.
229
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,360
However, I have told you my secret.
230
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,960
You mean, that dream?
231
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Okay.
232
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,360
Instead,
233
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,880
I can tell you a secret.
234
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,840
Actually…
235
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:26,600
I...
236
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,080
CAPITAL CITY
237
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,720
I used to be quiet
238
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,600
eating date paste cake
that you sent to your father,
239
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:00,160
then your father beat you.
240
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,640
Thank you for sharing the secret.
241
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,120
It's just that,
242
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,680
I won't make it
Date paste cake again.
243
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:17,080
It doesn't matter.
244
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,520
Besides, I don't like it either
those cakes.
245
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,880
Initially, I still wanted to
make another meal for you, Jiu.
246
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,040
Okay.
247
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,400
Jiu, pierce my hair at an angle.
248
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,400
Please tidy up my bun.
249
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:46,920
Delicious, right?
250
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,040
The Grand Princess spent six hours
to make this cake,
251
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:51,640
but only one steamer worked.
252
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,480
I can only say
this is the most delicious food in the world.
253
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,960
It's your fault, the filling wasn't mixed well.
254
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,600
The amount of meat fat must be right.
255
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:03,400
It can't be any less or less.
256
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,960
So it turns out.
257
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,960
That's what my father said.
258
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,960
If it's not enough, it's too dry.
If it's more, it's too good.
259
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,520
It's my own fault.
260
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,480
I've been too long
left Yunzhong.
261
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,080
To the point,
262
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,360
I even forgot the recipe.
263
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,360
Actually,
264
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,440
first...
265
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,320
I'm not very clever either
make this cake.
266
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,800
Dad, look. I did it.
267
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,640
I managed to make date paste cake.
268
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,320
Zhao is great.
269
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,240
However, next time,
don't secretly eat the filling anymore.
270
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,880
You don't need to scare me.
I just miss Mom.
271
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,800
I've never felt love,
so I want to go have a look.
272
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:15,840
I want to see the view
that I've ever seen
273
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,320
and down the cobblestone alley
that you've been through.
274
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,640
If my mother were still alive,
275
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,360
Mom definitely doesn't want me to be
a girl who can only obey.
276
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,560
Mother will not be arrogant like Father.
277
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,560
Mom will definitely care about my feelings
278
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:28,480
That's right.
279
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,400
Father was the God of War of the Chu Dynasty
who never loses
280
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,320
guard general
which everyone respects.
281
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,440
Father is busy protecting the border people
282
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,840
busy building Dad's big name
283
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,040
So busy
284
00:23:40,120 --> 00:23:43,480
until you don't have time to care
what I really want.
285
00:23:48,120 --> 00:23:51,560
Missing someone
it's nothing to be ashamed of.
286
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,560
Missing home isn't embarrassing either.
287
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:18,880
For five years I followed your father,
288
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,400
his life was actually quite good.
289
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,800
Every day is always busy,
290
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,800
sometimes if you get spices
from the Western Region,
291
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,080
he would put it in the west pavilion.
292
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:34,640
When looking at flowers
293
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,000
beautiful when patrolling,
294
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,000
he must have picked it,
295
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,520
then planted it in the west pavilion yard.
296
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,480
Because he once told me
that the west pavilion is
297
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,560
where you used to live.
298
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,560
He tidied it up and waited for you to come home.
299
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,080
Chu Zhao,
300
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,320
actually your father
301
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:02,720
never blamed you for leaving.
302
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:05,880
He just wanted to know
303
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,800
how is your life outside.
304
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,440
He just really misses you.
305
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,680
Sure, you can
no need to respond to any of this.
306
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,480
It does not matter.
307
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,400
It's a feeling
which he must bear alone.
308
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:23,720
So, you don't need to feel guilty.
309
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,440
There's nothing to forgive.
310
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,000
Actually…
311
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,560
I also really miss my father
312
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,160
and all things in the desert.
313
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,160
Your father is a very strict man,
314
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,360
but his heart is very soft.
315
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:54,400
Just like you.
316
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,280
The first time your father took me
to the poplar forest in the desert,
317
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,280
he says every twig is dry there
318
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,840
is fighting hard to live.
319
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,360
That's what creates
a view of thousands of years.
320
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:16,800
Dying is very easy.
321
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,080
However, survive
that is true ability.
322
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,360
Jiu.
323
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,240
Excuse me.
324
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:31,120
I talk too much.
325
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:32,920
No.
326
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,520
I'm actually happy to hear you
talk this much.
327
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,200
The night air is cooler.
328
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,400
The Grand Princess would be better
rest early.
329
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:47,920
Thank you
330
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,600
I've told you a lot
about my father.
331
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:54,960
Thank you too
have shared your past.
332
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,680
Do not hesitate.
333
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,000
Just consider this a reply
334
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:03,680
on the cake from the Great Princess.
335
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,080
Well then, Commander Xie,
336
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,680
just take it home
a box of these date paste cakes.
337
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:13,160
Thank you very much.
338
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,720
My words today will always stand.
339
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,160
About
340
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,840
later if you have a wish,
can you come and collect it from me?
341
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,440
Whatever danger I have to face,
342
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,520
I will help you make it happen.
343
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,560
I Chu Zhao always keep my promises
and will not deny it.
344
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,840
Good.
345
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:42,800
Won't deny it.
346
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:45,520
Report!
347
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:47,920
Report!
348
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,280
Grand Princess,
emergency report from Yunzhong Prefecture.
349
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:52,880
Yesterday the Northern Desert troops attacked.
350
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,200
General Chu succeeded in repelling
Northern Desert troops.
351
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,560
However, his condition suddenly worsened
and is now unconscious
352
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:00,760
General,
the Northern Desert troops had already withdrawn.
353
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,720
It turned out to be true according to the General's estimates.
354
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,320
Luckily this time General
I've already made a strategy beforehand.
355
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:16,400
General!
356
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,720
THE RESIDENCE OF KING XIAONAN
357
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:42,720
Dad.
358
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:50,800
Are you hurt?
359
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:54,520
Dad may not know yet.
360
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,640
Princess Chu Ling was about to kill me.
361
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:00,840
Princess Chu Ling?
362
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,680
Who doesn't want to be your wife
363
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,240
and just want to be that Grand Princess?
364
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,200
The new emperor has just ascended the throne,
the palace was in chaos.
365
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,480
We and Yunzhong are holding each other back.
366
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,080
Xie family from Gaoyang
also looking for it.
367
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:17,280
However, the girl was even first
368
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,040
clean up our private troops
in Chu Capital,
369
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,720
then take advantage of your difficult situation
to establish his power at court.
370
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,240
The method is extraordinary.
371
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,360
Changes in the palace this time
372
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,200
causing the Chu Capital to enter a period of chaos.
373
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,240
- Maybe we...
- The science of alchemy is very deep.
374
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,400
It all depends on timing.
375
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,960
Long ago, Xuanyuan forged a furnace.
376
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,400
After 49 days, there was a dragon's roar.
377
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,640
When alchemists refined mercury,
378
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,080
a new reddish light condensed
after 81 p.m.
379
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,680
This all really depends
on punctuality.
380
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,560
If the furnace is opened prematurely,
381
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,440
the whole process is in danger of failing.
382
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:54,960
XIAO HONG, KING OF XIAONAN
383
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,240
You've just come a long way.
384
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,880
Get some rest first.
385
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,000
Good.
386
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,560
The Northern Desert invades the border.
387
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,200
General Chu Ling was clearly negligent
under supervision.
388
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:23,960
It was indeed the Northern Desert troops
attack the border.
389
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,960
General Chu made them go home
without success, that's also true.
390
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,120
His services are not discussed,
instead discussing his mistakes?
391
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,200
For squad leaders,
392
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,280
Winning the war was his job.
393
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,120
If Yunzhong falls,
the consequences would be very fatal.
394
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,520
Services cannot cover mistakes.
395
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,280
Sire,
396
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,440
Chu Ling failed to discipline the troops.
397
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,440
He deserves to be punished.
398
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,520
Agree.
399
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,760
Treasurer's Concern
towards the country is indeed praiseworthy.
400
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,400
However, I actually want to ask.
401
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,920
Xiao Xun just ran away
to Xiaonan Prefecture
402
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,240
then the Northern Desert immediately attacked.
403
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,200
What a strange coincidence this is
404
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,920
proof of an insider conspiracy?
405
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,880
The Grand Princess' words actually reminded me.
406
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,840
I remember at that time
407
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,120
Mr. Deng was the most adamant
asked Xiao Xun for forgiveness,
408
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,040
reasoned
409
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,360
in order to appease King Xiaonan.
410
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,640
What perfect timing
411
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,000
to show mercy.
412
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,800
Mr. Xie, watch your words.
413
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,200
Forgive Xiao Xun
and sent him back to Xiaonan
414
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,680
is the Emperor's decree.
415
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,640
Do you want me
doubt the Emperor's decision?
416
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:41,280
On the contrary, Mr. Xie,
I heard you want to take over
417
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,960
Residence of Xiaonan's Successor.
418
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,240
The residence is located
in a strategic location
419
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:47,400
and connected in all directions.
420
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,520
Rather than leaving it blank,
better utilized.
421
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,600
Your Majesty is kind
gave it to me.
422
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,760
Why?
423
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,560
- Grandmaster wants it too?
- Enough.
424
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,240
The Northern Desert invades the border.
425
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,120
The most urgent thing right now
is to calm the hearts of the troops,
426
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,720
while the threat from within...
427
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,160
I actually wanted to see for myself
428
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:17,320
who is in such a hurry
opening the way for external enemies.
429
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:22,280
I am tired.
430
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,800
If you have nothing else to do,
the trial was dissolved.
431
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,560
We beg your farewell, Sire
432
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,360
and the Grand Princess.
433
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,040
Who would have thought Xie Yanfang
434
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,160
would act that recklessly?
435
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,680
Because he dared to tell you
436
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:06,680
will bring war
real to the Grand Princess,
437
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,760
he was clearly not afraid of anything,
438
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,800
because we know we lack evidence
439
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,240
to act on it.
440
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:16,000
So true.
441
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,760
That's what he said
442
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,880
actually proves it
he had prepared a backup plan.
443
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,560
Even though we are now investigating it,
444
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,960
we won't find any traces.
445
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,080
The guard around Xie Yanfang
as tight as an iron fortress.
446
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,840
However, no matter how strict
there are definitely still gaps.
447
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,040
How about we get started
from his old residence in Gaoyang?
448
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,160
When Xie Yanfang entered the capital,
449
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,960
he brought all his men.
450
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,760
Now, in Gaoyang's old residence
only a few administrators remain.
451
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:45,840
There is nothing to rely on.
452
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:47,520
However, what you said is correct.
453
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,080
If you want to attack
poisonous snake's weak point,
454
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,400
we have to put our hands in
go to the nest first.
455
00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:58,840
Shao You.
456
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,640
Immediately send people to Gaoyang.
457
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,400
Good.
458
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,239
Mr. Xie,
459
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,440
this chess game
you have to play well.
460
00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:22,320
SUCCESSOR'S RESIDENCE
461
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,560
Swipe left again.
462
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:26,520
Even higher.
463
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,199
XIE'S RESIDENCE
464
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,320
OK. Come down.
465
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,000
Once this Xie Residence board was installed,
466
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,440
This residence looked much more magnificent.
467
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:37,840
Young master.
468
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,400
The whole town is talking
469
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:40,600
that due to General Chu Ling's negligence,
470
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:42,040
The Northern Desert could attack.
471
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:43,280
According to Young Master,
472
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,000
maybe he will also be slandered
as an enemy spy?
473
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,600
Xiao Xun alone can escape
from the urgent situation, let alone Chu Ling.
474
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,480
Since guarding the border,
The Guard General never loses,
475
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,880
his authority in the hearts of the people
476
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,240
impossible to collapse
just because of one negligence.
477
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,520
Even though we managed to push through
Northern Desert troops to attack,
478
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,760
he also quickly changed
defense strategy.
479
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,760
He lured the enemy to Xinggu Border
480
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,520
and win the battle.
481
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,400
Many people praised him as brave and intelligent.
482
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,840
Looking now,
we actually help raise his name.
483
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,080
That is true.
484
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:24,840
Just like Young Master
which is famous throughout the country.
485
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,040
Despite years of illness
and did not appear in the palace,
486
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:28,960
your position remains unshakable.
487
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,000
No.
488
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:33,960
Me and him
489
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,600
never the same.
490
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:39,840
The residence has also been renovated.
491
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,280
Send people to invite
Ninth Young Master went home.
492
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:48,440
Say, that's the family head's order
so that he comes back soon.
493
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,400
He always doesn't get along with your family.
494
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,360
Why now?
495
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,320
I'm just curious...
496
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,680
how obedient the dog is
who left his employer
497
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,400
for five years?
498
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,360
Blessings and disasters coexist.
499
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,200
Great luck always accompanies
big danger too.
500
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,040
CHU TANG, CHU ZHAO'S COUSIN
501
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,720
This Grand Princess's crown
it's in my head,
502
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,600
but not necessarily possible
protect the Chu Family.
503
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:19,520
Of course,
504
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,840
I thank you
thanks to Uncle's kindness in the past.
505
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:23,760
It's just that,
506
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,720
if one day
I lost this position,
507
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,880
as the Chu family,
you will definitely be dragged along.
508
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,600
So, Big Brother Cousin,
509
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,160
you have to start
think about your own way.
510
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,280
Zhao, you don't need to test me.
511
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:43,800
Since you got the title of Grand Princess,
512
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:49,680
The Chu family rose as well
513
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,120
and fall with you.
514
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:53,800
Okay.
515
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:56,960
If so…
516
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,360
from now on,
I will move openly,
517
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,360
while you move in the shadows.
518
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,160
I will be your fortress,
and you became my eyes and hands.
519
00:37:15,240 --> 00:37:18,160
If we win, we will share the glory
520
00:37:18,240 --> 00:37:19,360
and splendor together.
521
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:21,320
If it fails...
522
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,360
I'm willing to be the eye,
hands and feet for you.
523
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,280
If so, please Brother
remember carefully what you said today.
524
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,120
After drinking this tea,
525
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,480
there was no turning back.
526
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,400
Because I will leave the Capital,
527
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,280
I have to gather all the allies
528
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:52,960
to guard the palace for my sake.
