The Empress

20
00:01:45,470 --> 00:01:50,630
insist on seeing you before she’s buried alive with His Majesty.

21
00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:01,650
Buried alive?

22
00:02:04,340 --> 00:02:07,200
- Take me to see her now.
- Yes.

23
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:12,230
Buried alive?

00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,590
Older Sister Wanru,

26
00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:39,320
is what Nanny said, really true?

27
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,310
A’Wu,

28
00:02:41,970 --> 00:02:45,980
Jing’er and I have been waiting for you for a long time.

29
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:48,780
Come, carry him now.

30
00:02:54,750 --> 00:02:58,610
Why did His Majesty bestow you to be buried alive with him?

31
00:02:58,610 --> 00:03:01,080
As long as I die,

32
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,030
Jing’er can be protected.

33
00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:11,780
As for me,

34
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:15,480
I feel bad for you now.

35
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,540
Don’t blame me.

36
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,020
Please take good care of Jing’er for me from now.

37
00:03:23,540 --> 00:03:27,020
Teach him how to speak and write.

38
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:29,430
Let him stay far away from state affairs.

39
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,410
It’s fine if he’s a mediocre person

40
00:03:32,410 --> 00:03:34,120
as long as he lives well.

41
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,650
You are not allowed to say this. I’m going to look for His Majesty now.

42
00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:38,640
Don’t look for him.

43
00:03:39,790 --> 00:03:41,510
A’Wu,

44
00:03:43,210 --> 00:03:45,800
don’t go and beg him.

45
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,520
Promise me so that I can leave in peace.

46
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,650
I won’t promise you.

47
00:03:52,180 --> 00:03:54,470
I will never promise you.

48
00:04:00,370 --> 00:04:02,740
This could be retribution.

49
00:04:03,940 --> 00:04:06,210
I committed many bad deeds

50
00:04:06,210 --> 00:04:08,650
and plotted a lot.

51
00:04:08,650 --> 00:04:11,310
They have finally ended up on my head.

52
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,280
However, I didn’t imagine that

53
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:19,440
you have been protecting my Jing’er.

54
00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:26,980
I only hope God’s retribution is only directed at me

55
00:04:28,530 --> 00:04:31,400
and won’t give my Jing’er a hard time.

56
00:04:32,930 --> 00:04:36,500
A’Wu, I’m begging you. Give me your promise.

57
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:38,560
I won’t.

58
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,010
Jing’er is still an infant.

59
00:04:43,330 --> 00:04:49,170
He needs you to live well and watch him grow up.

60
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:52,680
He can’t be without his mother.

61
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,170
This is an Imperial Edict. You should know that

62
00:04:57,170 --> 00:05:00,270
this foregone conclusion can’t be changed.

63
00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:02,380
Younger Sister A’Wu,

64
00:05:03,050 --> 00:05:05,220
I’m begging you.

65
00:05:05,220 --> 00:05:09,480
Your Highness, it’s getting late.

66
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,860
Empress Dowager is waiting for my reply.

67
00:05:42,430 --> 00:05:47,370
A’Wu, I only trust you.

68
00:05:47,370 --> 00:05:50,850
I can only entrust Jing’er to you.

69
00:05:52,790 --> 00:05:55,050
If you don’t agree,

70
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,270
Jing’er will be an orphan.

71
00:06:09,550 --> 00:06:11,970
Starting from today,

72
00:06:13,930 --> 00:06:16,790
you are Jing’er’s mother.

73
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,520
I promise you.

74
00:06:38,580 --> 00:06:40,790
Starting from today,

75
00:06:42,030 --> 00:06:46,630
I, Wang Xuan, am the mother of Jing’er.

76
00:06:49,790 --> 00:06:54,390
I will teach him to talk and write.

77
00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:59,530
I will shield and cherish him.

78
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:05,940
I won’t let him suffer.

79
00:07:07,140 --> 00:07:12,470
A’Wu, Jing’er will pay you back on my behalf.

80
00:07:15,750 --> 00:07:21,830
Your Highness, time’s up. You should set off now.

81
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:27,090
Take him away now.

82
00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:29,690
I don’t want him to see me leave.

83
00:07:29,690 --> 00:07:31,600
Leave now.

84
00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:42,460
Older Sister Wanru.

85
00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:52,970
Let’s be sisters again in our next time.

86
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,730
Leave now.

87
00:08:13,020 --> 00:08:15,280
Older Sister Wanru.

88
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,050
Senior Maid Servant Xu.

89
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,800
Little Prince, be good.

90
00:09:14,940 --> 00:09:18,400
- What is this?
- Princess Consort.

91
00:09:19,630 --> 00:09:22,760
[Token]

92
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,880
Token of the Empress?

93
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,790
Why is this with Little Prince?

94
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:41,070
A’Wu, Jing’er will pay you back on my behalf.

00:11:22,610 --> 00:11:24,900
His Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time.

112
00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:46,700
Older Brother Zilong.

113
00:12:59,330 --> 00:13:02,450
A’Wu.

114

A’Wu.

115
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:16,430
I brought Jing’er to see you.

116
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:20,960
Jing’er.

117
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,690
Jing’er, look at your Royal Father.

118
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:37,140
Carry him now.

119
00:13:56,470 --> 00:14:01,360
Pitiful little creative.

120
00:14:03,170 --> 00:14:06,660
You are so young

121
00:14:08,350 --> 00:14:11,540
and you will be sitting on the throne.

122
00:14:14,290 --> 00:14:17,380
Do you know

123
00:14:17,380 --> 00:14:20,600
how tough it is to be an Emperor?

124
00:14:21,770 --> 00:14:24,140
The Empress-

125
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,430
Wanru-

126
00:14:50,220 --> 00:14:56,030
did she leave any final words?

127
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,870
Older Sister Wanru said,

128
00:15:08,380 --> 00:15:14,640
she wants Jing’er to grow up safely and keep away from state affairs.

129
00:15:16,050 --> 00:15:18,260
A’Wu.

130
00:15:22,390 --> 00:15:24,470
A’Wu,

131
00:15:25,950 --> 00:15:27,990
sorry.

132
00:15:30,490 --> 00:15:35,220
I have wronged you in the past.

133
00:15:37,260 --> 00:15:40,360
I’m even more sorry towards you now.

134
00:15:43,450 --> 00:15:47,140
I have wronged Prince Yuzhang.

135
00:15:51,690 --> 00:15:54,140
Who was it?

136
00:16:06,540 --> 00:16:08,840
A’Wu,

137
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,480
I made a mistake.

138
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,890
Honestly speaking-

139
00:16:19,860 --> 00:16:25,290
Honestly speaking, it was all about power and desires.

140
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,420
A’Wu,

141
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,130
I’m suddenly panicking.

142
00:16:53,130 --> 00:16:56,000
What’s wrong, Older Brother Zilong?

143
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,750
I’m feeling very panicky, A’Wu.

144
00:16:59,750 --> 00:17:01,940
I issued an edict that

145
00:17:01,940 --> 00:17:07,470
after my death, Jing’er will take over my throne.

146
00:17:08,250 --> 00:17:12,430
Will I push him into the pit of fire?

147
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,190
Wanru is right.

148
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,780
What’s all this about being an Emperor?

149
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:27,800
I only want Jing’er to live safely and in peace.

150
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,040
This is better than anything else.

151
00:17:36,570 --> 00:17:38,580
A’Wu,

152
00:17:42,300 --> 00:17:44,720
in this deep palace,

153
00:17:45,630 --> 00:17:48,150
I don’t trust anyone,

154
00:17:49,730 --> 00:17:52,070
including Empress Dowager.

155
00:17:54,120 --> 00:17:58,950
You are the only who I trust without any doubts.

156
00:18:00,210 --> 00:18:02,130
I trust you.

157
00:18:05,260 --> 00:18:08,280
I’m entrusting Jing’er to you.

158
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,130
For his future,

159
00:18:16,770 --> 00:18:19,770
decide for him on behalf of his parents.

160
00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:31,760
Long’er.

161
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,710
Leave now.

162
00:18:34,710 --> 00:18:38,060
Take-take Jing’er away with you.

163
00:18:38,060 --> 00:18:43,340
As far away as possible.

164
00:18:43,340 --> 00:18:45,040
Older Brother Zilong.

165
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,410
Leave.

166
00:18:46,410 --> 00:18:52,690
Go as far as you can.

167
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,720
Leave.

168
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:05,630
Your mother is here.

169
00:19:05,630 --> 00:19:07,470
Long’er.

170
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,710
Long’er.

171
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:14,470
Long’er.

172
00:19:51,780 --> 00:19:56,170
Long’er.

173
00:19:56,170 --> 00:19:59,050
- Princess Consort.
- Princess Consort.

174
00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:03,080
A’Yue, where do you think Princess Consort went to?

175
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,030
No idea.

176
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:14,310
Princess Consort.

177
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:16,650
Princess Consort.

178
00:20:18,830 --> 00:20:22,390
- Senior Maid Servant Xu.
- Princess Consort, are you fine?

179
00:20:22,390 --> 00:20:25,550
Princess Consort, I finally found you.

180
00:20:25,550 --> 00:20:29,480
Quick, help Princess Consort back to Fengchi Palace to change her clothes.

181
00:20:33,790 --> 00:20:35,870
We can’t go back there anymore.

182
00:20:35,870 --> 00:20:37,980
We need to leave the palace.

183
00:20:37,980 --> 00:20:39,720
Leave the palace.

184
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,420
Princess Consort.

185
00:20:46,410 --> 00:20:48,390
Royal Mother.

186
00:20:49,610 --> 00:20:51,290
Long’er.

187
00:20:52,370 --> 00:20:54,420
It seems like

188
00:20:56,180 --> 00:21:00,400
I had a long, long dream.

189
00:21:03,620 --> 00:21:05,840
In my dream,

190
00:21:09,340 --> 00:21:12,820
I was riding a white horse.

191
00:21:15,340 --> 00:21:17,610
That horse-

192
00:21:19,130 --> 00:21:22,310
That horse suddenly jumped up.

193
00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:24,870
I seemed to be flying.

194
00:21:24,870 --> 00:21:27,790
I-I-seemed-

195
00:21:27,790 --> 00:21:31,170
to be flying.

196
00:21:35,460 --> 00:21:40,310
I flew over the palace wall

197
00:21:41,790 --> 00:21:44,300
and palace gate.

198
00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:49,280
I wanted to go out to take a look.

199
00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:56,190
I almost flew.

200
00:21:57,950 --> 00:22:02,560
I’m the Crown Prince. Your son is the Crown Prince.

201
00:22:07,530 --> 00:22:09,460
Royal Father,

202
00:22:10,540 --> 00:22:17,560
you finally acknowledge me.

203
00:22:20,670 --> 00:22:25,610
Long live the Emperor.

204
00:22:27,220 --> 00:22:30,960
I want to do better than the former Emperor.

205
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,410
If I really don’t have you,

206
00:22:36,790 --> 00:22:39,640
I will really be alone.

207
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,860
Long’er.

208
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:48,950
Long’er.

209
00:23:01,020 --> 00:23:02,910
Long’er.

210
00:23:06,890 --> 00:23:10,080
My Long’er!

211
00:23:45,330 --> 00:23:47,070
Stop.

212
00:23:50,660 --> 00:23:53,320
Who’s in the carriage?

213
00:24:01,010 --> 00:24:03,210
[Token]

214
00:24:03,210 --> 00:24:05,470
The Phoenix Token is here.

215
00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:12,090
General Wei, do you recognize this?

216
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,200
Long’er.

217
00:24:57,180 --> 00:25:00,550
His Majesty has passed away.

218
00:25:00,550 --> 00:25:05,610
- Long’er.
- Your Majesty.

219
00:25:27,100 --> 00:25:29,300
Your Majesty.

220
00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:40,860
Jing’er.

221
00:25:42,270 --> 00:25:44,140
Leave now.

222
00:25:48,910 --> 00:25:52,160
Giddy up.

223
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,090
Where are we going?

224
00:26:12,090 --> 00:26:13,910
Princess Consort, we are going back to the Wang’s residence.

225
00:26:13,910 --> 00:26:16,110
No. Turn around immediately.

226
00:26:16,110 --> 00:26:18,390
Go towards the gate.

227
00:26:18,970 --> 00:26:23,730
- We are leaving the city?
- We are going to look for Great Prince.

228
00:26:23,730 --> 00:26:28,620
Before he passed away, His Majesty warned me that current situation is very dangerous.

229
00:26:28,620 --> 00:26:33,640
He said that Empress Dowager may have already discovered that I carried Jing’er out from the palace.

230
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,230
She will definitely send people to pursue me.

231
00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:39,620
If I go back to Wang’s residence now, I will be waiting to die.

232
00:26:39,620 --> 00:26:43,380
We need to leave or it will be too late.

233
00:26:43,380 --> 00:26:44,850
But what about Little Prince?

234
00:26:44,850 --> 00:26:46,810
We need to leave the city.

235
00:27:16,190 --> 00:27:19,050
Princess Consort, it’s me. Pang Gui.

236
00:27:19,050 --> 00:27:21,740
It’s Imperial Guard Pang.

237
00:27:21,740 --> 00:27:25,080
Greetings, Princess Consort. I finally found you.

238
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,350
This afternoon, when news from the capital stated that His Majesty was injured during the hunt,

239
00:27:29,350 --> 00:27:34,050
I immediately sent someone to the camp to check. I found out that no one from Ningshuo Army returned.

240
00:27:34,050 --> 00:27:37,610
In addition, there are rumors in the capital that

241
00:27:37,610 --> 00:27:41,650
His Majesty encountered an assassin and it’s related to Great Prince.

242
00:27:43,870 --> 00:27:46,380
What’s the situation at the residence now?

243
00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:49,630
There’s an emergency. The subordinates on acting on their own accords.

244
00:27:49,630 --> 00:27:51,560
I dismissed the servants

245
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,960
and the secret guards in the capital have gone into hiding.

246
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,950
They are waiting for your orders.

247
00:27:55,950 --> 00:27:57,680
Well done.

248
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,660
There are many crises in the capital now.

249
00:27:59,660 --> 00:28:03,150
I wonder what you plan to do next.

250
00:28:03,150 --> 00:28:05,180
Leave the capital immediately.

251
00:28:05,180 --> 00:28:06,790
Yes.

252
00:28:08,670 --> 00:28:10,460
Leave the city.

253
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,480
Empress Dowager, it’s me.

254
00:28:44,970 --> 00:28:47,170
What are you doing here?

255
00:28:48,340 --> 00:28:50,180
Empress Dowager,

256
00:28:50,990 --> 00:28:52,780
I know that, for now,

257
00:28:52,780 --> 00:28:57,920
whatever I say to you when you are mourning, will not have any effects.

258
00:28:59,210 --> 00:29:02,510
However, there are many tasks to be done.

259
00:29:02,510 --> 00:29:06,730
Everything still needs your decisions.

260
00:29:06,730 --> 00:29:11,950
The Crown Prince is still an infant and will ascend the throne soon.

261
00:29:11,950 --> 00:29:16,800
His Majesty didn’t die from an illness and was assassinated instead.

262
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:21,140
Empress Dowager, please restrain your grief

263
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:23,830
and place priorities on state affairs.

264
00:29:28,390 --> 00:29:31,350
Prime Minister, what do you have to report?

265
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,290
Empress Dowager,

266
00:29:34,290 --> 00:29:40,830
just now, two remaining survivors of the Forbidden Army returned to the capital to report on the completion of task.

267
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,500
Remaining survivors?

268
00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:49,450
I dispatched a few thousand soldiers of the Forbidden Army to the hunting ground

269
00:29:49,450 --> 00:29:52,030
whereas Prince Yuzhang could only mobilize a few hundred soldiers.

270
00:29:52,030 --> 00:29:54,700
Why are they the only remaining survivors now?

271
00:29:54,700 --> 00:29:58,200
Empress Dowager, don’t be angry. According to the report,

272
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:04,380
Fang Dayong, the leader of the Forbidden Army, led the army to encirle and suppress Prince Yuzhang in Yuyu Valley

273
00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:09,810
and suffered great losses. He eventually perished together with them.

274
00:30:09,810 --> 00:30:11,810
Perished together with them?

275
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:14,630
Was Prince Yuzhang among them?

276
00:30:14,630 --> 00:30:16,750
Empress Dowager,

277
00:30:16,750 --> 00:30:22,820
after the battle, when the county government near the hunting ground received the news, they sent someone to investigate.

278
00:30:22,820 --> 00:30:29,320
They eventually confirmed that Fang Dayong and Prince Yuzhang died in the battle.

279
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,240
Prince Yuzhang’s corpse was destroyed.

280
00:30:34,430 --> 00:30:36,750
He’s dead?

281
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,910
He’s dead?

282
00:30:40,910 --> 00:30:44,860
He died well. Excellent!

283
00:30:45,450 --> 00:30:49,810
Long’er, did you hear that?

284
00:30:49,810 --> 00:30:53,180
The person who harmed you is already dead.

285
00:30:56,530 --> 00:30:59,560
This still doesn’t solve the hatred in my heart.

286
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,860
- Someone!
- Your Highness.

287
00:31:02,860 --> 00:31:06,730
Capture Princess Consort Yuzhang and everyone who’s related to her.

288
00:31:06,730 --> 00:31:08,870
Imprison them!

289
00:31:08,870 --> 00:31:13,230
Empress Dowager, bad news.

290
00:31:13,230 --> 00:31:17,910
Empress Dowager, someone saw Princess Consport Yuzhang using the Phoenix Token of the Empress

291
00:31:17,910 --> 00:31:20,870
to escape the palace from Yonghua Gate.

292
00:31:20,870 --> 00:31:24,670
Little Prince, she took him away.

293
00:31:24,670 --> 00:31:27,770
What?! Go after them now!

294
00:31:27,770 --> 00:31:31,120
You must bring Jing’er back at all costs.

295
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,080
I will abide.

296
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:41,480
- Empress Dowager.
- Your Highness.

297
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,010
Empress Dowager.

298
00:31:45,010 --> 00:31:47,740
Your Highness.

299
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,250
General Li, what is the matter?

300
00:32:00,250 --> 00:32:04,200
Just now, was there a palace carriage with the empress’s order to let it leave the palace?

301
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,050
There was.

302
00:32:06,050 --> 00:32:08,230
How long has it been since it left?

303
00:32:08,230 --> 00:32:10,080
About two hours.

304
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,220
Who was in the carriage?

305
00:32:12,220 --> 00:32:15,620
It is probably...the empress’s maidservant.

306
00:32:15,620 --> 00:32:17,830
Was there a child in the carriage?

307
00:32:17,830 --> 00:32:20,570
Probably...not.

308
00:32:20,570 --> 00:32:23,110
General Wei, why did you not inspect thoroughly?

309
00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:26,120
The person who came had an imperial order, how could we question it?

310
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,570
General Li, you are also exiting the city under the Empress Dowager’s orders.

311
00:32:28,570 --> 00:32:32,480
Could it be that I should detain you and your men for a thorough search?

312
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,000
You—!

313
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,330
General Li! Wait.

314
00:32:36,330 --> 00:32:39,850
I want to ask, how is the situation in the palace?

315
00:32:39,850 --> 00:32:42,990
The palace is in disarray right now.

316
00:32:42,990 --> 00:32:46,000
Disarray? What exactly is going on?

317
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,570
I am under the Empress Dowager’s order to chase down a rebel. I dare not delay.

318
00:32:49,570 --> 00:32:52,130
Rebel? Who is the rebel?

319
00:32:52,130 --> 00:32:53,630
Princess Consort Yuzhang.

320
00:32:53,630 --> 00:32:55,640
Princess Consort Yuzhang?

321
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,750
She is Empress Dowager’s niece. How could she possibly rebel?

322
00:32:58,750 --> 00:33:00,950
I have orders to follow right now and it cannot be delayed.

323
00:33:00,950 --> 00:33:03,800
General Li! Tell me more!

324
00:33:13,850 --> 00:33:16,690
General,  inside the carriage just now...

325
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,330
Your Majesty.

326
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:07,080
Your Majesty is finally awake.

327
00:34:15,090 --> 00:34:17,110
Let Her Majesty rest well.

328
00:34:17,110 --> 00:34:18,760
Yes.

329
00:34:35,010 --> 00:34:37,510
Greetings, Advisor Wen.

330
00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:40,020
How is Empress Dowager?

331
00:34:42,140 --> 00:34:45,470
Previously, the Empress Dowager often had headaches.

332
00:34:45,470 --> 00:34:48,590
However, her heart was attacked with anxiety today.

333
00:34:50,140 --> 00:34:53,400
It has worsened her chronic headache. I’m afraid...

334
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,170
Tell me honestly.

335
00:34:57,690 --> 00:35:02,950
I am afraid she will experience states of confusion often from now on.

336
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,220
Then... is there no way to treat it?

337
00:35:13,220 --> 00:35:16,780
It is very severe thus hard to cure.

338
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,150
In one night,

339
00:35:23,890 --> 00:35:27,990
the emperor has passed away and the empress died a martyr.

340
00:35:27,990 --> 00:35:31,220
The crown prince is missing and even the empress dowager is...

341
00:35:34,650 --> 00:35:37,940
Is heaven trying to collapse my Great Cheng?

342
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,690
Your Majesty, Advisor Wen asks to see you.

343
00:35:58,210 --> 00:36:00,160
Bring him.

344
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,460
Yes, Your Majesty.

345
00:36:08,330 --> 00:36:10,590
Advisor Wen, please.

346
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,680
Your Majesty.

347
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,640
You’ve come?

348
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,720
Wen Zongshen.

349
00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:08,020
I am here.

350
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:13,360
I shall rely on you to stabilize the situation in the imperial court.

351
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,820
Do not let me down.

352
00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:20,920
Your Majesty,

353
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:27,610
I came to steady the nation.

354
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,750
I am requesting for Your Majesty’s imperial decree.

355
00:37:32,810 --> 00:37:34,420
You...

356
00:37:35,570 --> 00:37:39,490
What decree are you requesting?

357
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,580
A nation cannot go a day without a ruler.

358
00:37:52,710 --> 00:37:54,060
You.

359
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,530
Say it one more time.

360
00:37:58,810 --> 00:38:03,950
I said, “A nation cannot go a day without a ruler.”

361
00:38:05,660 --> 00:38:07,780
Shut your mouth.

362
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,120
What do you mean by “a day without a ruler”?

363
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,910
Our Great Cheng has Jing’er!

364
00:38:16,830 --> 00:38:19,420
I am not dead yet!

365
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:25,590
Your Majesty.

366
00:38:25,590 --> 00:38:30,830
The noble families of Great Cheng are Wang, Xie, Gu, and Wen.

367
00:38:30,830 --> 00:38:36,340
Although my Wen family is not up to par with the Wang family, we have our own foundation in this nation.

368
00:38:36,340 --> 00:38:40,080
Furthermore, I have served two emperors now.

369
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,940
Why. would I need to support a new ruler and ask for glory?

370
00:38:43,940 --> 00:38:50,170
What I have said and done are for the Great Cheng empire.

371
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,350
Great Cheng’s crown prince

372
00:38:54,050 --> 00:38:57,580
is only Jing’er.

373
00:38:57,580 --> 00:39:01,890
Right now, you all need to find and bring back Jing’er!

374
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:07,370
All the doors of the capital have been closed now.

375
00:39:07,370 --> 00:39:11,550
The imperial army is already searching the whole city.

376
00:39:11,550 --> 00:39:15,390
Once we have found the young prince, we will surely support his ascend to the throne.

377
00:39:15,390 --> 00:39:16,820
However...

378
00:39:18,790 --> 00:39:20,680
I am just afraid that if...

379
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,070
There is no “if.”

380
00:39:29,530 --> 00:39:33,860
Your Majesty, leaving the throne empty

381
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:36,080
will disadvantage the nation.

382
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,200
The nobles will also not agree to that.

383
00:39:43,580 --> 00:39:46,080
Wen Zongshen.

384
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,030
Whose side do you belong?

385
00:40:00,260 --> 00:40:05,520
I...am loyal to Great Cheng.

386
00:40:06,270 --> 00:40:12,080
I... am loyal to the emperor of Great Cheng.

387
00:40:14,630 --> 00:40:17,960
I guess I misjudged you.

388
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:24,600
Wen Zongshen, scram.

389
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,040
Scram!

390
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,540
Your Majesty.

391
00:40:45,540 --> 00:40:49,260
All of you go search!

392
00:40:58,780 --> 00:41:02,140
Hurry and go find Jing’er!

393
00:41:24,470 --> 00:41:27,670
All of you go find Jing’er!

394
00:41:27,670 --> 00:41:30,900
All of you hurry and go find Jing’er!

395
00:41:30,900 --> 00:41:34,240
Your Majesty, rest assured.

396
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:37,660
The imperial army has already sent many people out.

397
00:41:37,660 --> 00:41:41,170
Your health is important.

398
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,650
Not enough!

399
00:41:45,650 --> 00:41:48,000
Tell him to go!

400
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,620
- Who?
- Jin!

401
00:41:50,620 --> 00:41:52,040
Hurry and go find Eunuch Jin.

402
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,170
- Yes.
- Your Majesty.

403
00:41:55,550 --> 00:41:57,390
Your Majesty.

405
00:42:06,910 --> 00:42:08,470
Open the doors.

406
00:42:16,090 --> 00:42:20,860
Senior  Maidservant Chao Yun! Senior Maidservant Chao Yun!

407
00:42:20,860 --> 00:42:22,690
Empress Dowager’s secret order.

408
00:42:25,150 --> 00:42:28,880
She wants you to do something for her.
