18
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,201
(Lu Changfu will soon
assume his office.)
19
00:01:48,641 --> 00:01:49,600
(He is a wicked guy.)
20
00:01:50,121 --> 00:01:52,440
(His crimes against Lishan mountain
are numerous.)
21
00:01:52,641 --> 00:01:54,281
(The emperor hates him to the core.)
22
00:01:54,641 --> 00:01:57,160
(Yet he can't move against him due to
the Empress Dowager and Marquis Muyang.)
23
00:01:59,681 --> 00:02:00,561
(Eight years ago)
Eight years ago,
24
00:02:00,841 --> 00:02:02,160
the late emperor passed away.
25
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,200
The crown prince died.
26
00:02:03,841 --> 00:02:06,081
Empress Guo Jin sought
to ascend the throne.
27
00:02:06,241 --> 00:02:08,561
Back then, Lishan Academy
was the cultural heart of Dachu.
28
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,081
(Lishan Academy)
Almost half of the officials were from it.
29
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,121
My grandfather took a stand
by closing Lishan to compile books.
30
00:02:14,401 --> 00:02:16,281
Also, scholars at court echoed together.
31
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:17,600
Empress Guo was mad.
32
00:02:18,281 --> 00:02:20,320
She sent troops to besiege it
under the guise of protection.
33
00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:23,480
Lishan has been isolated ever since.
34
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,361
Also, Lishan's scholars at court
35
00:02:25,561 --> 00:02:28,432
were falsely accused by Lu Changfu
under various charges.
36
00:02:28,432 --> 00:02:29,801
Some were dismissed from office,
37
00:02:30,561 --> 00:02:31,681
imprisoned, or exiled.
38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,160
And some were tortured to death.
39
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,640
Li, one more thing.
40
00:02:36,961 --> 00:02:39,801
I've found Wei Zhuang,
but I didn't reveal myself to him.
41
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,241
- Bravo!
- Bravo!
42
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,521
Get out!
43
00:02:59,121 --> 00:02:59,920
What's going on?
44
00:03:00,361 --> 00:03:01,640
What's wrong with you?
45
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,281
Are you blind?
46
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:04,640
I'm turning you in.
47
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:05,561
No way.
48
00:03:05,561 --> 00:03:07,440
Look, I can't even get up.
49
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:08,521
Just give me a break.
50
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,121
All of you are witnesses.
51
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,121
The guy from Caiying Shop is hurting me!
52
00:03:13,121 --> 00:03:14,880
- Ouch!
- Nonsense!
53
00:03:15,121 --> 00:03:19,121
It was you who bumped into me first,
causing me to accidentally break these.
54
00:03:19,121 --> 00:03:20,880
- It hurts!
- You're blackmailing me.
55
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,281
Take the money and leave.
56
00:03:24,121 --> 00:03:24,841
I don't want it.
57
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,121
- I want justice!
- Justice?
58
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,440
You want more, don't you?
59
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:31,801
You wretched person!
60
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:33,001
I won't give you a penny.
61
00:03:34,121 --> 00:03:34,736
Go.
62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:36,121
Go get some money.
63
00:03:38,001 --> 00:03:39,880
This man is handicapped already.
64
00:03:40,281 --> 00:03:42,081
(Wei Zhuang, Lishan scholar)
He'll stoop to anything for money.
65
00:03:42,401 --> 00:03:43,121
Everyone.
66
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,561
It's over now.
67
00:03:45,281 --> 00:03:46,401
Please leave.
68
00:03:52,521 --> 00:03:53,640
It hurts so much.
69
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,921
(Zhuang.)
70
00:04:14,161 --> 00:04:15,361
Ye Li, come here.
71
00:04:15,361 --> 00:04:16,640
- Zhuang.
- What is it?
72
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,681
I learned a new hand trick.
Let me show you.
73
00:04:18,681 --> 00:04:19,400
Sure.
74
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,760
So wonderful!
75
00:04:27,241 --> 00:04:28,280
Very clever of you.
76
00:04:29,041 --> 00:04:30,801
- Doesn't it look like a little bird?
- Yes, it does.
77
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,080
Why is he leaving?
78
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Alright, let's go.
79
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:48,921
Get out of here.
80
00:05:05,721 --> 00:05:07,280
Why are you back so late?
81
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:08,681
Did you buy medicine for mother?
82
00:05:10,161 --> 00:05:11,320
Mother.
83
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,640
How could you be so careless?
84
00:05:18,001 --> 00:05:20,041
Do not touch hot water again.
85
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:24,976
Don't be scared.
86
00:05:25,601 --> 00:05:30,280
(You have a talent for arithmetic.)
87
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:30,681
(Xu Qingyun,
Headmaster of Lishan Academy)
88
00:05:30,681 --> 00:05:34,681
Though counting rods are small,
they can calculate everything.
89
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,481
If you can uphold your true heart
and benefit people,
90
00:05:39,921 --> 00:05:40,721
in the future,
91
00:05:40,921 --> 00:05:44,721
you may well achieve remarkable things.
92
00:05:45,241 --> 00:05:46,041
Yes.
93
00:05:46,161 --> 00:05:47,241
I'll remember your words.
94
00:05:48,030 --> 00:05:51,152
(Lishan Academy)
95
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:53,440
Alright, no need to see me off further.
96
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,400
Go back quickly.
97
00:05:55,001 --> 00:05:56,161
Goodbye then.
98
00:05:56,561 --> 00:05:58,440
I'll come find you
once I leave the mountain.
99
00:05:59,001 --> 00:06:00,801
Sure. We have a deal.
100
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:01,721
I'll be waiting.
101
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,681
Wei Zhuang, time to go.
102
00:06:03,041 --> 00:06:03,960
Coming, Yuanfeng.
103
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,361
I'm leaving, Ye Li.
104
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,520
Goodbye, Ye Li.
105
00:06:47,801 --> 00:06:48,321
Your Highness.
106
00:06:48,321 --> 00:06:51,121
What song are you humming?
Never heard it before.
107
00:06:52,001 --> 00:06:53,440
I don't know either.
108
00:06:53,921 --> 00:06:55,721
My mother used to hum it often.
109
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,121
Over time, I learned it myself.
110
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,721
It sounds lovely.
111
00:06:59,001 --> 00:06:59,801
Your Highness.
112
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Your needlework is truly excellent.
113
00:07:06,921 --> 00:07:08,320
I spent eight years on Lishan.
114
00:07:08,681 --> 00:07:11,361
I made the clothes
for my grandfather and all the masters.
115
00:07:11,361 --> 00:07:13,520
How can you do chores?
116
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,320
Qingshuang was with you.
Why didn't she do them?
117
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,921
She couldn't manage alone,
so I had to help her.
118
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,561
Your Highness,
what silk are you using here?
119
00:07:24,561 --> 00:07:25,561
The color is so lustrous.
120
00:07:25,561 --> 00:07:26,561
It's quite beautiful.
121
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,241
Touch it.
122
00:07:30,361 --> 00:07:31,561
Soft and thin.
123
00:07:31,681 --> 00:07:33,041
And surprisingly, it's warm.
124
00:07:33,241 --> 00:07:36,681
This is flame-woven silk,
from silkworms unique to the southwest.
125
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,121
They only spin their cocoons
under moonlight.
126
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,121
Hundreds of silkworms
yield just one chi of it.
127
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,320
The flame-woven silk traps body heat,
128
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,840
keeping the wind and chill at bay.
129
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:48,921
What a great thing.
130
00:07:49,121 --> 00:07:51,681
I never saw the masters using it before.
131
00:07:52,481 --> 00:07:53,801
It's indeed good.
132
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:54,840
But there's a problem.
133
00:07:55,241 --> 00:07:56,640
It requires careful storage.
134
00:07:57,161 --> 00:08:00,280
Contact with phosphor powder
would set it ablaze.
135
00:08:00,481 --> 00:08:04,001
Something so dangerous
can't be for His Highness, right?
136
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,640
Phosphor powder isn't exactly common.
137
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,001
Besides,
138
00:08:08,041 --> 00:08:09,721
this robe isn't for His Highness.
139
00:08:10,481 --> 00:08:12,121
Not for His Highness?
140
00:08:13,121 --> 00:08:14,601
Then who is it for?
141
00:08:28,481 --> 00:08:29,520
Shall I deliver this?
142
00:08:34,064 --> 00:08:35,344
Your Highness, we're going in.
143
00:08:50,984 --> 00:08:51,743
Your Highness?
144
00:08:52,263 --> 00:08:53,344
What's wrong?
145
00:08:53,704 --> 00:08:54,503
Your Highness!
146
00:08:54,743 --> 00:08:55,584
Your Highness!
147
00:08:56,464 --> 00:08:57,464
Get the physician!
148
00:08:57,464 --> 00:08:58,184
Hurry!
149
00:09:00,743 --> 00:09:01,543
Your Highness!
150
00:09:02,344 --> 00:09:03,464
Your Highness, wake up!
151
00:09:04,584 --> 00:09:05,383
Your Highness!
152
00:09:05,984 --> 00:09:06,824
Go get the physician!
153
00:09:07,743 --> 00:09:08,543
Come on.
154
00:09:09,344 --> 00:09:10,143
Your Highness!
155
00:09:12,743 --> 00:09:13,360
Come on!
156
00:09:21,503 --> 00:09:22,448
Your Highness.
157
00:09:22,704 --> 00:09:23,704
Your Highness, wake up!
158
00:09:24,104 --> 00:09:24,783
Your Highness.
159
00:09:24,783 --> 00:09:26,344
Can you hear me, Your Highness?
160
00:09:26,623 --> 00:09:27,304
Your Highness?
161
00:09:27,664 --> 00:09:29,304
Are you hearing me, Your Highness?
162
00:09:29,983 --> 00:09:30,983
Wake up, Your Highness!
163
00:09:31,264 --> 00:09:31,863
Your Highness!
164
00:09:32,223 --> 00:09:32,823

His crimes are numerous!

00:10:17,144 --> 00:10:18,463
He disgraced his ancestors!

The traitorous subject Mo Xiuwen
181
00:10:37,583 --> 00:10:38,583
entered the capital
182
00:10:38,823 --> 00:10:40,024
without permission,
183
00:10:40,264 --> 00:10:41,544
endangering the border cities.
184
00:10:42,184 --> 00:10:44,264
(Death)
He is convicted of treason
185

None of your business.
237
00:14:18,343 --> 00:14:21,544
Since we're married, I'm your family.
238
00:14:21,703 --> 00:14:23,424
You're trapped in that room.
239
00:14:23,544 --> 00:14:25,863
The entire household is also trapped
because of you.
240
00:14:26,424 --> 00:14:28,384
I was trapped on Lishan for many years.
241
00:14:28,703 --> 00:14:30,784
I'm tired of being locked up again.
242
00:14:32,064 --> 00:14:32,983

245

246
00:14:36,823 --> 00:14:37,823

247
00:14:44,863 --> 00:14:46,184
I've just become married to you.
248
00:14:47,103 --> 00:14:48,264
So I've taken a vow
249
00:14:48,863 --> 00:14:50,463
to rebuild the family name
250
00:14:51,064 --> 00:14:52,264
and share weal and woe.
251
00:14:59,703 --> 00:15:01,424
You've truly lost your mind.
252
00:15:03,264 --> 00:15:04,384
Do you know
253
00:15:05,304 --> 00:15:07,463
why everyone, from the nobles
254
00:15:07,823 --> 00:15:09,264
to the common people,
255
00:15:09,904 --> 00:15:11,503
loves watching dramas?
256
00:15:11,904 --> 00:15:13,743
It's because the more the drama twists
257
00:15:13,983 --> 00:15:15,103
and becomes complicated,
258
00:15:15,823 --> 00:15:17,544
the more excited the viewers become.
259
00:15:22,944 --> 00:15:23,823
Mo Xiuyao,
260
00:15:24,944 --> 00:15:26,384
don't let your life
261
00:15:27,264 --> 00:15:29,264
become nothing but a show in their eyes.
262
00:15:53,743 --> 00:15:55,503
What took you so long?
263
00:15:55,503 --> 00:15:58,784
I need to go thank His Majesty
and Empress Dowager before court today.
264
00:15:58,863 --> 00:16:00,384
Sorry to keep you waiting.
265
00:16:00,784 --> 00:16:03,743
I went to get your new official robe.
266
00:16:10,103 --> 00:16:12,424
The workers from the imperial palace
are quite thoughtful.
267
00:16:12,703 --> 00:16:14,264
Knowing Huaixi is humid,
268
00:16:14,463 --> 00:16:16,983
they've specially
added an extra layer inside.
269
00:16:17,223 --> 00:16:18,904
It can keep the dampness at bay.
270
00:16:19,264 --> 00:16:20,103
From the palace?
271
00:16:20,304 --> 00:16:22,503
Aren't official robes made
by the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau?
272
00:16:22,784 --> 00:16:23,743
The servants said
273
00:16:23,743 --> 00:16:27,343
the deliverer was dressed differently
from the previous one from the Bureau.
274
00:16:27,544 --> 00:16:30,343
I guess your official robe
is bestowed by the palace.
275
00:16:31,583 --> 00:16:33,583
I do appreciate it.
276
00:16:35,463 --> 00:16:36,264
Enjoy your meal.
277
00:16:36,823 --> 00:16:37,623
Excuse me,
278
00:16:37,623 --> 00:16:39,384
two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge.
279
00:16:39,664 --> 00:16:40,863
Okay, just a moment.
280
00:16:40,863 --> 00:16:41,904
Serve the porridge.
281
00:16:41,904 --> 00:16:42,503
Sure.
282
00:16:45,664 --> 00:16:47,703
(If Lu Changfu takes over
as Military Governor of Huaixi,)
283
00:16:48,144 --> 00:16:49,384
(it'll be harder
to deal with Marquis Muyang.)
284
00:16:50,103 --> 00:16:51,463
(Since the Emperor has the same idea,)
285
00:16:51,944 --> 00:16:52,743
(Li,)
286
00:16:52,944 --> 00:16:54,103
(let's act accordingly.)
287
00:17:10,624 --> 00:17:11,344
Your Highness.
288
00:17:11,344 --> 00:17:12,543
I've bought breakfast.
289
00:17:12,584 --> 00:17:14,584
Why are you here so early today?
290
00:17:14,904 --> 00:17:16,864
Are you in a good mood?
291
00:17:19,223 --> 00:17:20,584
I saw a lucky star.
292
00:17:21,023 --> 00:17:22,223
It's auspicious.
293
00:17:22,664 --> 00:17:23,824

294
00:17:37,144 --> 00:17:39,063

295
00:17:39,144 --> 00:17:40,864
to take up office in Huaixi.
296
00:17:41,144 --> 00:17:42,824
I came to express my gratitude
297
00:17:42,904 --> 00:17:44,144
for Your Majesty's trust
298
00:17:44,144 --> 00:17:45,664
and Your Grace's kindness.
299
00:17:45,864 --> 00:17:47,664

301

May Your Grace be healthy.
302
00:17:52,344 --> 00:17:56,223
If every court official
is as loyal and dedicated as you,
303
00:17:56,543 --> 00:17:57,463

317
00:18:41,463 --> 00:18:42,144
No.

You can set your mind at ease.
325
00:18:56,023 --> 00:18:57,584

328
00:19:00,904 --> 00:19:03,023
I hope so then.

334
00:19:14,184 --> 00:19:14,783
Forgive me.
335

bump into Military Governor Lu!
336
00:19:16,864 --> 00:19:18,023
Are you asking for death?
337
00:19:18,303 --> 00:19:21,384
He didn't mean it.
No need to be so harsh.
338
00:19:21,384 --> 00:19:22,543
Come on.
339
00:19:22,584 --> 00:19:23,184
Stand up.
340
00:19:25,424 --> 00:19:26,703
Greetings from Lishan Academy.
341
00:19:31,664 --> 00:19:33,223
Marquis Muyang.
342
00:19:37,063 --> 00:19:37,783
Marquis Muyang.
343
00:19:39,063 --> 00:19:40,904
I depart for Huaixi tomorrow.
344
00:19:41,104 --> 00:19:42,344
Once I've settled in there,
345
00:19:42,384 --> 00:19:43,624
I'll follow your instructions
346
00:19:43,664 --> 00:19:44,824
and rally.
347
00:19:45,023 --> 00:19:46,664
Await my good news.
348
00:19:47,904 --> 00:19:49,063
In Huaixi,
349
00:19:49,104 --> 00:19:50,864
you must be cautious.
350
00:19:50,904 --> 00:19:52,624
Don't act recklessly.
351
00:19:52,664 --> 00:19:53,424
Understood.
352
00:19:55,983 --> 00:19:56,543
What's wrong?
353
00:19:56,543 --> 00:19:57,063
Military Governor Lu.
354
00:19:57,063 --> 00:19:57,983
Your clothes!
355
00:19:57,983 --> 00:19:58,904
Smoke.
356
00:19:58,904 --> 00:19:59,664
They're smoking!
357
00:19:59,664 --> 00:20:00,424
What's happening?
358
00:20:00,983 --> 00:20:02,063
Why is it growing bigger?
359
00:20:12,904 --> 00:20:13,664
It's on fire!
360
00:20:14,144 --> 00:20:15,223
It's on fire!
361
00:20:20,263 --> 00:20:21,463
Marquis Muyang.
362
00:20:47,944 --> 00:20:49,063
(Eight years ago,)
363
00:20:49,063 --> 00:20:50,503
(my brother entered the capital
without orders.)
364
00:20:51,543 --> 00:20:54,104
(At that time,
I was serving under Duke Hua.)
365
00:20:54,944 --> 00:20:57,184
(Upon hearing the news,
I led troops northward.)
366
00:20:57,703 --> 00:21:00,104
(We fought against the Cangbei's forces
for over a month.)
367
00:21:38,664 --> 00:21:40,424
(The battle was fierce.)
368
00:21:40,503 --> 00:21:41,864
(Although we defeated the enemy,)
369
00:21:42,703 --> 00:21:44,783
(we lost over half of our soldiers.)
370
00:21:45,023 --> 00:21:45,783
Father!
371
00:21:45,783 --> 00:21:46,743
(My leg)
372
00:21:47,384 --> 00:21:50,344
(was injured in that battle.)
373
00:21:50,344 --> 00:21:51,023
Withdraw!
374
00:21:51,384 --> 00:21:52,864
Withdraw!
375
00:21:58,543 --> 00:22:00,944
(My brother
and his accompanying Heiyun Cavalries)
376
00:22:00,944 --> 00:22:02,543
(were all executed.)
377
00:22:04,023 --> 00:22:05,904
(The entire household was convicted.)
378
00:22:06,384 --> 00:22:08,144
(I was escorted back to the capital.)
379
00:22:09,904 --> 00:22:11,063
(On that day,)
380
00:22:11,904 --> 00:22:13,344
(I saw her again.)
381
00:22:18,104 --> 00:22:18,783
Mo Xiuyao?
382
00:22:19,223 --> 00:22:19,983
Mo Xiuyao!
383
00:22:20,703 --> 00:22:23,023
It's me, Ye Li! Do you remember me?
384
00:22:23,104 --> 00:22:24,023
You saved me before?
385
00:22:24,023 --> 00:22:24,944
Do you recall that?
386
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:26,223
Make way!
387
00:22:26,463 --> 00:22:27,303
Do not approach!
388
00:22:27,783 --> 00:22:28,624
You traitor!
389
00:22:29,023 --> 00:22:29,783
Mo Xiuyao!
390
00:22:29,783 --> 00:22:30,503
Take this!
391
00:22:33,303 --> 00:22:34,263
Go die!
392
00:22:34,664 --> 00:22:35,944
Go die, you traitor!
393
00:22:36,344 --> 00:22:39,584
(When my brother entered the capital,
the former emperor had already died.)
394
00:22:40,463 --> 00:22:41,424
(His child ascended the throne.)
395
00:22:41,944 --> 00:22:43,543
(Empress Guo held court.)
396
00:22:44,424 --> 00:22:46,864
(My brother insisted he acted
by the late emperor's decree,)
397
00:22:47,184 --> 00:22:49,144
(but he never showed that decree.)
398
00:22:50,063 --> 00:22:53,424
(Marquis Muyang and others demanded
the execution of his entire lineage.)
399
00:22:54,023 --> 00:22:55,703
(I was condemned to death too.)
400
00:22:56,344 --> 00:22:59,144
(Duke Hua and military generals
pleaded for my life.)
401
00:22:59,703 --> 00:23:02,664
(The court officials debated endlessly.)
402
00:23:11,344 --> 00:23:12,743
(I was imprisoned)
403
00:23:13,303 --> 00:23:15,584
(and ignored at first.)
404
00:23:16,463 --> 00:23:18,463
(My leg injury remained untreated.)
405
00:23:19,703 --> 00:23:21,703
(Lu Changfu,
to curry favor with Marquis Muyang,)
406
00:23:22,624 --> 00:23:23,824
(bribed the prison guards.)
407
00:23:24,783 --> 00:23:25,864
(They didn't give me food or water.)
408
00:23:26,743 --> 00:23:27,703
(For the first few days,)
409
00:23:28,384 --> 00:23:31,144
(I lived on the pastries)
410
00:23:31,983 --> 00:23:33,144
(Ye Li had given me.)
411
00:23:35,344 --> 00:23:36,824
(That's how I survived.)
412
00:23:40,144 --> 00:23:41,104
(Six months later,)
413
00:23:41,824 --> 00:23:43,703
(I finally received the decree.)
414
00:23:43,864 --> 00:23:44,424
By the grace
415
00:23:44,424 --> 00:23:45,783
of heaven,
416
00:23:45,783 --> 00:23:47,104
I preside over all.
417
00:23:47,104 --> 00:23:50,263
Mo Xiuwen and the Heiyun Cavalry
are found guilty.
418
00:23:50,384 --> 00:23:53,384
Yet his younger brother, Mo Xiuyao,
served under Duke Hua.
419
00:23:53,584 --> 00:23:54,783
He was not involved in treason.
420
00:23:54,824 --> 00:23:56,503
Considering his past merits,
421
00:23:56,824 --> 00:23:58,783
he's exempted
from the collective punishment.
422
00:23:59,944 --> 00:24:01,503
You're quite lucky.
423
00:24:06,493 --> 00:24:08,011
(One month ago)
424
00:24:08,144 --> 00:24:10,023
(I waited for eight years.)
425
00:24:10,463 --> 00:24:13,424
(Finally, the current emperor decided
to eliminate Marquis Muyang,)
426
00:24:13,983 --> 00:24:15,743
(so I was secretly reinstated.)
427
00:24:25,463 --> 00:24:26,303
Xuanwu Gate.
428
00:24:26,463 --> 00:24:27,424
Seal the Zhuque alley.
429
00:24:27,664 --> 00:24:28,904
Ensure Yuan Fang's safety.
430
00:24:29,344 --> 00:24:30,144
Yes.
431
00:25:08,208 --> 00:25:08,880
Go.
432
00:25:31,944 --> 00:25:33,104
You were
433
00:25:33,503 --> 00:25:35,743
held captive by bandits and almost died.
434
00:25:36,303 --> 00:25:37,104
At that time,
435
00:25:37,263 --> 00:25:38,783
you sent a message to the capital
436
00:25:39,063 --> 00:25:40,783
about the progress on the weaponry case.
437
00:25:41,584 --> 00:25:42,944
Do you have evidence?
438
00:25:46,104 --> 00:25:49,543
I admire you. I would never betray you.
439
00:25:50,864 --> 00:25:53,144
Besides, given the feud
between Marquis Muyang and me,
440
00:25:53,624 --> 00:25:56,184
I will not collude with him.
441
00:25:57,063 --> 00:25:59,463
That's why His Majesty sent me.
442
00:26:01,824 --> 00:26:03,983
While I worked in Huaixi,
443
00:26:04,624 --> 00:26:05,664
indeed...
444
00:26:06,303 --> 00:26:07,104
Halt!
445
00:26:10,384 --> 00:26:13,223
By His Majesty's decree,
I'm here to get Military Governor Yuan.
446
00:26:14,543 --> 00:26:15,223
Eunuch Gao!
447
00:26:15,703 --> 00:26:16,813
We're not yet in the capital.
448
00:26:16,813 --> 00:26:19,344
Rashly taking him away may not be wise.
449
00:26:20,584 --> 00:26:22,743
I came by His Majesty's oral decree.
450
00:26:22,743 --> 00:26:25,104
Are you going
to defy the imperial order?
451
00:26:27,303 --> 00:26:28,023
Jin.
452
00:26:34,104 --> 00:26:34,904
Your Highness.
453
00:26:35,184 --> 00:26:36,864
His Majesty sent Eunuch Gao to take him.
454
00:26:47,824 --> 00:26:48,624
Prince Ding.
455
00:26:49,223 --> 00:26:50,703
This is His Majesty's order.
456
00:26:50,864 --> 00:26:52,624
His Majesty asks you to give him to me.
457
00:26:52,624 --> 00:26:56,144
His Majesty will
personally take care of the rest.
458
00:26:57,223 --> 00:26:59,904
I need to talk
to Military Governor Yuan now.
459
00:27:00,983 --> 00:27:02,864
His Majesty
460
00:27:03,223 --> 00:27:04,784
asks you
461
00:27:05,232 --> 00:27:07,503
to hand him over to me right now.
462
00:27:07,503 --> 00:27:09,184
(He bestowed upon me the blade)
463
00:27:09,384 --> 00:27:12,263
(yet always kept the scabbard
in his own hand.)
464
00:27:12,503 --> 00:27:14,463
Bride, please step out.
465
00:27:24,063 --> 00:27:26,144
Guests, take your seats.
466
00:27:28,703 --> 00:27:29,503
Your Highness.
467
00:27:32,263 --> 00:27:33,624
Go in through the secret passage.
468
00:27:34,104 --> 00:27:34,783
Yes.
469
00:27:45,263 --> 00:27:46,063
Change clothes!
470
00:27:55,664 --> 00:27:57,584
Prince Ding is occupied
with urgent matters now.
471
00:27:57,584 --> 00:27:58,824
Can't I just go in
472
00:27:58,904 --> 00:27:59,743
to see him?
473
00:28:02,424 --> 00:28:03,263
Hide!
474
00:28:20,864 --> 00:28:21,864
(After eight years,)
475
00:28:22,664 --> 00:28:24,104
(I saw her again.)
476
00:28:24,503 --> 00:28:27,344
(I still could see what she was like
as a kid.)
477
00:28:27,944 --> 00:28:30,463
(But I felt she had changed.)
478
00:28:30,543 --> 00:28:32,424
Today is our wedding day.
479
00:28:33,023 --> 00:28:35,783
You can't just stay here
copying scriptures all day, can you?
480
00:28:37,184 --> 00:28:38,624
But I haven't finished yet.
481
00:28:40,023 --> 00:28:41,144
Then do it later.
482
00:28:43,424 --> 00:28:44,223
Later,
483
00:28:44,864 --> 00:28:45,703
I'll help you.
484
00:28:48,743 --> 00:28:49,743
(She has grown up)
485
00:28:50,063 --> 00:28:50,904
(and grown taller.)
486
00:28:51,743 --> 00:28:53,344
(I saw the calluses on her fingers.)
487
00:28:53,584 --> 00:28:55,344
(She is less like an elegant lady.)
488
00:28:56,303 --> 00:28:57,904
(She no longer seems fragile,)
489
00:28:58,463 --> 00:29:01,783
(as if something pushes her forward.)
490
00:29:04,584 --> 00:29:05,983
(This was my wedding night,)
491
00:29:07,223 --> 00:29:10,424
(yet I had no heart
to play the role of a husband.)
492
00:29:18,144 --> 00:29:19,223
Your Highness.
493
00:29:19,223 --> 00:29:20,624
Military Governor Yuan was abducted
494
00:29:20,624 --> 00:29:22,104
on the capital outskirts.
495
00:29:22,384 --> 00:29:23,783
What?
496
00:29:25,743 --> 00:29:26,543
Find him!
497
00:29:26,824 --> 00:29:28,584
Dispatch more men. We must find him.
498
00:29:39,783 --> 00:29:41,144
Marquis Muyang must be behind it.
499
00:29:41,384 --> 00:29:44,063
Military Governor Yuan must have
had evidence of his arms smuggling.
500
00:29:44,864 --> 00:29:46,184
Now not only the evidence,
501
00:29:46,184 --> 00:29:47,472
even Military Governor Yuan...
502
00:29:53,023 --> 00:29:54,063
(Yuan Fang was abducted.)
503
00:29:54,864 --> 00:29:56,703
(He might have died.)
504
00:29:57,424 --> 00:29:59,303
(He escaped from Huaixi to Suixue Pass)
505
00:29:59,703 --> 00:30:01,263
(and tried to return to the capital.)
506
00:30:01,584 --> 00:30:03,743
(Yet he was gone
when he almost arrived.)
507
00:30:04,463 --> 00:30:05,543
(I was furious.)
508
00:30:07,104 --> 00:30:08,463
(Very much.)
509
00:30:38,263 --> 00:30:40,223
Where did His Highness rest last night?
510
00:30:40,543 --> 00:30:41,463
Your Highness.
511
00:30:41,703 --> 00:30:43,864
His Highness usually rests
in the bedroom.
512
00:30:43,864 --> 00:30:45,664
But last night, he stayed in the study.
513
00:30:47,783 --> 00:30:49,344
(But anger was futile.)
514
00:30:50,184 --> 00:30:51,503
(I had to move on.)
515
00:30:52,503 --> 00:30:53,743
(And in my life,)
516
00:30:55,223 --> 00:30:56,303
(a new presence appeared.)
517
00:30:59,144 --> 00:31:01,664
(When I was little, my mother asked me)
518
00:31:02,023 --> 00:31:04,384
(what sort of woman I wished to marry
when I was grown up.)
519
00:31:05,543 --> 00:31:06,664
(Back then, I thought)
520
00:31:07,503 --> 00:31:11,063
(if only my future wife could
be as elegant and good as my mother.)
521
00:31:11,983 --> 00:31:13,223
(When my brother married,)
522
00:31:13,664 --> 00:31:14,463
(I thought)
523
00:31:15,424 --> 00:31:16,503
(that to marry a wife)
524
00:31:16,743 --> 00:31:19,063
(as gentle and good as my sister-in-law)
525
00:31:19,783 --> 00:31:20,584
(would be fine too.)
526
00:31:22,063 --> 00:31:23,783
(Ye Li came
from a family in the capital.)
527
00:31:24,263 --> 00:31:26,384
(Her grandfather
was the Headmaster of Lishan Academy.)
528
00:31:27,184 --> 00:31:30,424
(I thought
she was a quiet, educated lady.)
529
00:31:31,144 --> 00:31:32,023
(But...)
530
00:31:52,424 --> 00:31:54,344
(She often ran past my doorway.)
531
00:31:56,344 --> 00:31:57,144
Jin.
532
00:31:59,543 --> 00:32:00,144
Your Highness.
533
00:32:00,624 --> 00:32:02,624
Does Her Highness have urgent business?
534
00:32:19,584 --> 00:32:20,703
(But I later discovered)
535
00:32:21,384 --> 00:32:23,104
(she didn't have urgent business to do.)
536
00:32:23,824 --> 00:32:25,263
(She ran like this every day.)
537
00:32:28,783 --> 00:32:29,584
Your Highness?
538
00:32:30,104 --> 00:32:31,584
You're up so early.
539
00:32:36,263 --> 00:32:37,543
(Later, three people ran)
540
00:32:37,664 --> 00:32:38,543
(together...)
541
00:32:38,703 --> 00:32:39,216
Your Highness.
542
00:32:39,216 --> 00:32:40,223
(every morning.)
543
00:32:43,344 --> 00:32:44,104
Your Highness.
544
00:32:44,104 --> 00:32:45,263
Your Highness, wait.
545
00:32:45,424 --> 00:32:46,344
Hold on.
546
00:32:46,584 --> 00:32:47,384
Your Highness.
547
00:32:48,912 --> 00:32:49,584
Your Highness.
548
00:32:49,783 --> 00:32:51,824
(She ran from Tuisi Pavilion
past the study)
549
00:32:51,824 --> 00:32:53,344
(and then circled back.)
550
00:32:53,783 --> 00:32:54,664
(The route unchanged.)
551
00:32:55,783 --> 00:32:59,144
(She said this helped her
absorb the spiritual energy)
552
00:32:59,543 --> 00:33:00,624
(and improve her health.)
553
00:33:03,503 --> 00:33:05,983
(But soon, she ran alone again.)
554
00:33:06,864 --> 00:33:07,664
Your Highness.
555
00:33:07,904 --> 00:33:11,703
Do you believe
she can absorb the spiritual energy
556
00:33:11,743 --> 00:33:12,664
and improve her health?
557
00:33:16,104 --> 00:33:17,023
Perhaps.
558
00:33:17,824 --> 00:33:19,424
(She would secretly drink liquor.)
559
00:33:19,864 --> 00:33:22,463
(The liquor smelled mild,
but was actually quite strong.)
560
00:33:22,824 --> 00:33:23,864
(She told others)
561
00:33:24,543 --> 00:33:27,864
(it was Qibao Tea from the border.)
562
00:33:27,864 --> 00:33:29,063
What are you drinking?
563
00:33:29,263 --> 00:33:30,503
Liquor?
564
00:33:33,104 --> 00:33:34,263
Alcohol leads to trouble.
565
00:33:34,503 --> 00:33:35,664
I do not drink alcohol.
566
00:33:36,263 --> 00:33:37,743
It's Qibao Tea.
567
00:33:38,063 --> 00:33:39,303
It promotes wellness.
568
00:33:40,976 --> 00:33:41,552
No...
569
00:33:48,944 --> 00:33:52,263
This smells like tea,
570
00:33:52,983 --> 00:33:54,624
but tastes somewhat...
571
00:33:58,743 --> 00:33:59,783
My alcohol!
572
00:34:03,784 --> 00:34:04,583
(Probably,)
573
00:34:04,904 --> 00:34:06,183
(she is that foolish.)
574
00:34:11,463 --> 00:34:12,143
So,
575
00:34:12,143 --> 00:34:14,784
what will these stone flowers
bloom into?
576
00:34:17,503 --> 00:34:18,904
(She has three pots of stones,)
577
00:34:19,344 --> 00:34:22,063
(claiming they are a gift
from Master Zhu.)
578
00:34:22,543 --> 00:34:24,344
(If they're watered daily)
579
00:34:24,623 --> 00:34:25,663
(and people talk to them,)
580
00:34:26,143 --> 00:34:28,183
(they would thrive.)
581
00:34:30,023 --> 00:34:32,864
(Only the two foolish maids of hers
seemed to believe it,)
582
00:34:33,304 --> 00:34:35,183
(looking after those three stones.)
583
00:34:35,623 --> 00:34:37,143
(All they think about was food.)
584
00:34:39,623 --> 00:34:40,704
(But watching her,)
585
00:34:41,264 --> 00:34:43,864
(I always felt she was lonely,)
586
00:34:44,583 --> 00:34:46,304
(just like those three pots of stones)
587
00:34:46,744 --> 00:34:48,424
(surrounded by colorful flowers)
588
00:34:48,824 --> 00:34:51,344
(yet destined never to bloom.)
589
00:34:56,344 --> 00:34:57,744
What are my grandfather,
590
00:34:58,063 --> 00:35:01,463
Master Zhu, and Master Ji doing now?
591
00:35:03,583 --> 00:35:05,063
My brother loves going to...
592
00:35:05,063 --> 00:35:06,663
(She often talked to herself.)
593
00:35:07,463 --> 00:35:08,784
(She stayed alone in her room,)
594
00:35:09,304 --> 00:35:12,344
(muttering to herself for a while.)
595
00:35:22,384 --> 00:35:23,183
Your Highness.
596
00:35:23,704 --> 00:35:25,623
Shall we play this less often?
597
00:35:26,344 --> 00:35:27,143
Why?
598
00:35:27,543 --> 00:35:29,384
You're constantly
showing off your fine legs.
599
00:35:29,384 --> 00:35:31,264
His Highness might see
and might be unhappy.
600
00:35:31,304 --> 00:35:32,744
Then he won't come here anymore.
601
00:35:33,623 --> 00:35:35,063
So what would make him happy?
602
00:35:35,904 --> 00:35:37,063
Copy sutras together?
603
00:35:38,704 --> 00:35:39,503
Don't worry.
604
00:35:39,704 --> 00:35:41,463
His Highness isn't that petty.
605
00:35:42,063 --> 00:35:42,904
Again.
606
00:35:47,663 --> 00:35:49,384
Your Highness, the ink is ready.
607
00:35:49,663 --> 00:35:50,744
May I go out?
608
00:35:52,663 --> 00:35:53,503
Go ahead.
609
00:35:55,784 --> 00:35:56,983
(But more often,)
610
00:35:57,784 --> 00:35:59,728
(she acted just as she did as a child.)
611
00:36:00,274 --> 00:36:01,864
(He talked a lot)
612
00:36:02,103 --> 00:36:03,784
(and lived happily and freely.)
613
00:36:03,784 --> 00:36:04,424
Are you alright?
614
00:36:04,543 --> 00:36:06,023
(And more people)
615
00:36:06,424 --> 00:36:07,623
(started to like her.)
616
00:36:08,063 --> 00:36:08,944
(She brought light)
617
00:36:09,344 --> 00:36:11,264
(into the eyes of many.)
618
00:36:13,424 --> 00:36:14,623
(After Yuan Fang died,)
619
00:36:15,063 --> 00:36:16,384
(His Majesty likely felt remorse)
620
00:36:17,063 --> 00:36:18,384
(and summoned me again.)
621
00:36:20,463 --> 00:36:21,103
Xiuyao.
622
00:36:29,183 --> 00:36:31,224
Due to my injured legs,
I cannot get up and bow.
623
00:36:31,503 --> 00:36:32,663
Please pardon me.
624
00:36:32,983 --> 00:36:34,543
Please, Xiuyao.
625
00:36:34,543 --> 00:36:36,583
We are cousins. Don't stand on ceremony.
626
00:36:37,744 --> 00:36:39,663
You look quite sharp,
627
00:36:39,663 --> 00:36:40,824
with an unyielding spirit.
628
00:36:40,824 --> 00:36:43,824
You're as heroic as before.
629
00:36:45,103 --> 00:36:46,424
I'm flattered, Your Majesty.
630
00:36:46,424 --> 00:36:49,744
I'm just an invalid
and don't deserve praise.
631
00:36:51,424 --> 00:36:54,304
What can I do for you, Your Majesty?
632
00:36:56,864 --> 00:36:59,023
A few days ago,
I heard of instability in Cangbei.
633
00:36:59,503 --> 00:37:00,864
It reminded me
634
00:37:00,864 --> 00:37:03,304
of how you defeated the enemy years ago.
635
00:37:03,304 --> 00:37:05,224
And again, I'm just an invalid.
636
00:37:05,463 --> 00:37:07,384
I don't deserve praise
from Your Majesty.
637
00:37:09,103 --> 00:37:11,023
You're displeased, aren't you?
638
00:37:12,344 --> 00:37:13,944
Don't blame me for not trusting you.
639
00:37:14,424 --> 00:37:16,784
Since I ascended the throne,
640
00:37:17,344 --> 00:37:19,063
I have had no one left to trust.
641
00:37:23,583 --> 00:37:25,744
I recognize your exceptional abilities.
642
00:37:26,143 --> 00:37:29,143
And I know how arduously you traveled
to retrieve Yuan Fang.
643
00:37:30,183 --> 00:37:33,103
Yet, because of my fear
of fully relying on anyone,
644
00:37:33,463 --> 00:37:35,384
I had Gao Wenhuan take Yuan Fang away.
645
00:37:36,063 --> 00:37:37,824
I intended to handle it personally.
646
00:37:42,583 --> 00:37:43,744
Unexpectedly...
647
00:37:46,143 --> 00:37:47,304
What's done is done.
648
00:37:48,103 --> 00:37:49,904
Now, I've come to understand
649
00:37:50,503 --> 00:37:52,424
that you traveled to Suixue Pass
650
00:37:52,784 --> 00:37:54,623
genuinely for my plan.
651
00:37:56,543 --> 00:37:58,023
I traveled far to Suixue Pass
652
00:37:59,143 --> 00:38:00,463
and rescued Yuan Fang.
653
00:38:02,864 --> 00:38:04,784
Your Majesty thinks I did that for you?
654
00:38:09,784 --> 00:38:11,583
Yuan Fang began
as a registrar in Yanzhou.
655
00:38:11,944 --> 00:38:14,424
In the fourth year of Jinghe,
he worked in Bianzhou.
656
00:38:14,623 --> 00:38:16,864
He got a top-grade official appraisal
in the fifth year of Jinghe.
657
00:38:18,264 --> 00:38:20,264
He deserved promotion
as an envoy for farming.
658
00:38:21,063 --> 00:38:22,463
But as an incorruptible official,
659
00:38:23,784 --> 00:38:26,224
he couldn't even afford the travel
to take up his post.
660
00:38:28,543 --> 00:38:30,103
Such a frail man,
661
00:38:31,463 --> 00:38:32,904
for the sake of the nation,
662
00:38:32,983 --> 00:38:35,623
threw himself headlong
into Marquis Muyang's lair in Huaixi.
663
00:38:36,784 --> 00:38:39,704
Do you know how he maneuvered
among the powerful locals?
664
00:38:40,264 --> 00:38:41,023
Do you know
665
00:38:41,143 --> 00:38:44,463
how he gathered evidence
when surrounded by the enemy?
666
00:38:45,328 --> 00:38:48,176
Do you know how he
depended on six severely injured guards
667
00:38:48,208 --> 00:38:49,503
desperately
668
00:38:49,704 --> 00:38:51,264
and was forced to flee to the border?
669
00:38:51,463 --> 00:38:53,224
How much blood was shed along the way?
670
00:38:53,503 --> 00:38:55,784
How many loyal men died?
671
00:38:57,944 --> 00:38:58,944
Do you even know?
672
00:38:59,784 --> 00:39:01,543
I know Yuan Fang endured hardship
673
00:39:02,063 --> 00:39:03,384
and struggled just to survive.
674
00:39:03,384 --> 00:39:04,304
He wanted to live
675
00:39:04,384 --> 00:39:05,944
not for himself,
676
00:39:07,224 --> 00:39:08,864
but to report what he knew,
677
00:39:08,864 --> 00:39:10,103
what he discovered,
678
00:39:10,143 --> 00:39:12,864
to hand over the evidence he held.
679
00:39:19,224 --> 00:39:21,583
To bring it into the light.
680
00:39:25,944 --> 00:39:27,623
Yet you overestimated yourself.
681
00:39:31,063 --> 00:39:33,063
You assumed you could protect Yuan Fang.
682
00:39:33,543 --> 00:39:35,744
But Yuan Fang died within half a day
683
00:39:37,983 --> 00:39:39,224
after you took him.
684
00:39:40,023 --> 00:39:41,983
He died within the capital confines.
685
00:39:44,704 --> 00:39:45,503
Your Majesty,
686
00:39:47,583 --> 00:39:49,103
have you ever reflected on it?
687
00:39:49,424 --> 00:39:50,583
You're out of line!
688
00:39:58,224 --> 00:39:58,983
Indeed.
689
00:39:59,543 --> 00:40:00,543
I was wrong.
690
00:40:01,304 --> 00:40:02,983
But are you blameless?
691
00:40:03,824 --> 00:40:06,904
If you are,
how was Suixue Pass breached?
692
00:40:07,744 --> 00:40:09,583
How did Xiuwen die?
693
00:40:13,424 --> 00:40:14,784
I remember now.
694
00:40:15,143 --> 00:40:16,824
Years ago, over a mere quarrel,
695
00:40:16,983 --> 00:40:19,143
you abandoned Xiuwen
and left the Heiyun Cavalry.
696
00:40:20,344 --> 00:40:21,864
Whenever I recall this,
697
00:40:22,063 --> 00:40:23,463
I feel profound regret.
698
00:40:23,944 --> 00:40:25,344
Had you been there,
699
00:40:25,864 --> 00:40:28,143
even with Xiuwen leading the army
to the capital,
700
00:40:28,583 --> 00:40:30,704
you could have
repelled Cangbei's attack.
701
00:40:30,983 --> 00:40:32,583
How could they succeed?
702
00:40:32,864 --> 00:40:34,583
So many people became homeless.
703
00:40:34,983 --> 00:40:37,103
Xiuwen would never die tragically.
704
00:40:41,824 --> 00:40:43,224
Don't look at me like that.
705
00:40:44,663 --> 00:40:45,824
I have no choice.
706
00:40:48,744 --> 00:40:49,543
Mo Xiuyao,
707
00:40:50,424 --> 00:40:51,983
you've made a mistake once before.
708
00:40:53,463 --> 00:40:55,384
This nation belongs to the Mo lineage.
709

00:41:00,583 --> 00:41:01,904

713
00:41:04,744 --> 00:41:06,344
Can you face Xiuwen?
714
00:41:16,944 --> 00:41:17,663
Your Highness.
715
00:41:17,663 --> 00:41:18,704
