1
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:12,590
You killed Tubu?

2
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:14,430
Yes.

3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:15,959
He insulted the Consort,

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:17,890
so I killed him in a moment of anger.

5
00:00:18,070 --> 00:00:19,350
I know I am at fault

6
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:21,490
and am willing to be punished.

7
00:00:23,390 --> 00:00:24,590
Your Majesty is wise.

8
00:00:24,830 --> 00:00:26,389
You foresaw that they

9
00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:29,320
would not be peaceful after
the Pale Tribe incident.

10
00:00:29,550 --> 00:00:30,959
So you asked me to plant a few spies

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:31,960
around them,

12
00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:33,669
and that prevented a major incident.

13
00:00:33,670 --> 00:00:34,670
Your Majesty.

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,200
Tubu's family rose in power.

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,279
The Hongchuan Tribe alone

16
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,339
commands 10,000 elite cavalry.

17
00:00:40,340 --> 00:00:42,140
Now that he has died so suddenly,

18
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,430
I fear it will cause
unrest among the tribes,

19
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,240
making them think Your
Majesty is using this

20
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,980
to eliminate dissidents.

21
00:01:10,510 --> 00:01:11,680
Well done.

22
00:01:14,590 --> 00:01:16,709
I have wanted to kill him for a long time.

23
00:01:16,710 --> 00:01:17,710
Rise.

24
00:01:44,509 --> 00:01:45,509
General Shiyan.

25
00:01:45,870 --> 00:01:46,870
You were right.

26
00:01:47,470 --> 00:01:49,240
I am indeed using this matter

27
00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:51,080
to eliminate them.

28
00:01:52,759 --> 00:01:53,759
Pass my order.

29
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:55,120
Except for the Hongchuan Tribe

30
00:01:55,121 --> 00:01:57,509
and the offending tribe elders today,

31
00:01:58,070 --> 00:01:59,270
the rest of the tribes

32
00:01:59,509 --> 00:02:02,199
will be exempt from this
year's taxes and conscription.

33
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,480
These old foxes...

34
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:06,480
Which of them isn't shrewd

35
00:02:06,670 --> 00:02:07,800
and opportunistic?

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,860
I am giving them benefits.

37
00:02:10,590 --> 00:02:11,710
I don't believe

38
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,379
they would turn down what I offer,

39
00:02:14,380 --> 00:02:16,380
but rebel with the Hongchuan Tribe.

40
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,750
[REBIRTH]

41
00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:46,790
[Episode 28]

42
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,359
I have followed Your Highness's orders

43
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,190
and washed Lord Cheng's cloak.

44
00:04:00,910 --> 00:04:03,570
But this bloodstain has
seeped into the lining.

45
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,380
No matter how I wash
it, there's still a mark.

46
00:04:16,950 --> 00:04:18,410
Greetings, Your Majesty.

47
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:27,930
Greetings, Your Majesty.

48
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:29,890
This way, Your Majesty.

49
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,690
You've been wronged

50
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,269
by what happened a few days ago.

51
00:04:57,270 --> 00:04:59,269
Your Majesty has already stood up for me

52
00:04:59,270 --> 00:05:00,870
and punished the offenders.

53
00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:02,829
How could I feel wronged?

54
00:05:02,830 --> 00:05:03,830
I meant

55
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,240
those rumors.

56
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,480
All they were saying was

57
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,780
that you're merely a figurehead,

58
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,749
having the title of a Consort

59
00:05:12,750 --> 00:05:14,680
but having none of my favor...

60
00:05:16,350 --> 00:05:17,990
I even have no desire for you.

61
00:05:18,630 --> 00:05:20,310
If they didn't think so,

62
00:05:20,630 --> 00:05:22,599
they wouldn't dare treat you like this.

63
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,600
Don't you

64
00:05:24,950 --> 00:05:26,120
feel wronged?

65
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,159
I do not.

66
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,119
I want to apologize to Your Majesty.

67
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,520
Your Majesty has never had feelings for me,

68
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,190
and we have never consummated our marriage.

69
00:05:45,430 --> 00:05:47,030
It was I who used every scheme

70
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,509
and unbearable means
to seduce Your Majesty.

71
00:05:49,510 --> 00:05:50,949
Your Majesty wanted to silence

72
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:53,240
the elders of the tribes in Great Yan,

73
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:54,830
so you played along

74
00:05:55,430 --> 00:05:57,830
and granted me the title of Consort Helian.

75
00:05:57,870 --> 00:05:59,670
Please punish me, Your Majesty.

76
00:05:59,780 --> 00:06:00,870
You were right.

77
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,629
But you know those
tribe elders in Great Yan

78
00:06:03,630 --> 00:06:05,360
are trying everything they can

79
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,069
to send their daughter

80
00:06:07,070 --> 00:06:08,270
to my side.

81
00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:10,270
Do you know

82
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:12,200
why I chose you?

83
00:06:16,630 --> 00:06:19,950
The reason I schemed to
get close to Your Majesty

84
00:06:21,070 --> 00:06:22,930
was that the Helian Tribe is weak,

85
00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:26,430
struggling to survive
among the other tribes.

86
00:06:27,070 --> 00:06:29,330
I want to bring glory to the Helian Tribe.

87
00:06:29,470 --> 00:06:31,429
And Your Majesty chose me as your consort

88
00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:32,690
for this exact reason.

89
00:06:32,820 --> 00:06:34,550
A Consort from the Helian Tribe

90
00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:38,170
will neither break the
balance among the tribes

91
00:06:38,820 --> 00:06:41,670
nor pose a threat to Your Majesty.

92
00:06:55,390 --> 00:06:56,920
I will stay tonight.

93
00:06:57,590 --> 00:06:59,450
I didn't choose the wrong person.

94
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:00,910
From now on,

95
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,829
you're not only going to be
someone useful to the Helian Tribe,

96
00:07:04,830 --> 00:07:06,830
but also someone useful to me.

97
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,630
Are you willing?

98
00:07:23,830 --> 00:07:25,360
Greetings, General Cheng.

99
00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:26,869
Is Consort Helian resting?

100
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:27,870
General Cheng,

101
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,749
His Majesty is spending
the night here today,

102
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:31,350
and they went to sleep early.

103
00:07:31,870 --> 00:07:33,720
Is there something you need?

104
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,765
[Zhenhuangcheng, Great Yong] The royal
family is on an ancestral worship journey.

105
00:08:43,789 --> 00:08:45,790
Clear the roads and close the doors.

106
00:08:46,270 --> 00:08:47,669
Anyone who dares to proceed

107
00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:48,670
will be executed!

108
00:08:58,270 --> 00:08:59,510
Stop, stop.

109
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:04,490
Your Highness.

110
00:09:04,550 --> 00:09:05,630
You are pregnant.

111
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:07,469
The journey will be too strenuous for you.

112
00:09:07,470 --> 00:09:09,629
Although you were brought back
by His Highness the Seventh Prince,

113
00:09:09,630 --> 00:09:11,119
the Thirteenth Prince is currently

114
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,600
in His Majesty's favor.

115
00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:14,789
He is even handling the
royal ancestral worship,

116
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:16,669
while His Highness the Seventh
Prince was punished by His Majesty

117
00:09:16,670 --> 00:09:19,000
and was sent to guard the border.

118
00:09:19,110 --> 00:09:20,699
Let's not get involved in this.

119
00:09:20,700 --> 00:09:24,100
We should keep a low profile
and return to the mansion to rest.

120
00:09:26,510 --> 00:09:27,960
You are quite clever.

121
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,850
Thank you for the
compliment, Your Highness.

122
00:09:31,550 --> 00:09:32,860
Who could speak for me,

123
00:09:32,910 --> 00:09:34,110
and whose side I'm on...

124
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:37,029
It is not something a lowly
maid like you can discuss.

125
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:38,160
Move the palanquin.

126
00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:44,770
Who is blocking my way?

127
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,290
[Jia Meng]

128
00:09:51,910 --> 00:09:54,440
Princess, you shouldn't care who I am,

129
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,910
but rather what I can do for you.

130
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,510
You are sinking into an abyss of pain,

131
00:10:00,750 --> 00:10:03,319
but I can let you see

132
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,840
the person you miss.

133
00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:12,090
Omniscient and omnipotent Faceless God,

134
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,000
as your most loyal follower,

135
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,720
I pray to you.

136
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:19,080
May you forgive his sins,

137
00:10:19,310 --> 00:10:20,980
take pity on his pain,

138
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,600
and let the departed soul return once more.

139
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,960
Chun'er.

140
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,360
I'm back.

141
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:49,720
Li Yan.

142
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,790
Can you hold me...

143
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,790
and our child?

144
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,790
Why did you leave me?

145
00:12:01,150 --> 00:12:02,960
Where did you go?

146
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,240
I want you to stay with me.

147
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,730
It's too painful to be alone.

148
00:12:29,390 --> 00:12:30,390
Chun'er.

149
00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:34,549
You are the most
precious and beloved person

150
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:37,390
I have in this world.

151
00:12:38,030 --> 00:12:39,030
But

152
00:12:40,700 --> 00:12:43,150
I'm the only one left in this world now.

153
00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:45,250
Even you, right in front of me,

154
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:47,440
are just my illusion.

155
00:12:48,030 --> 00:12:49,080
You know what?

156
00:12:51,910 --> 00:12:53,080
I'm so scared.

157
00:12:54,510 --> 00:12:55,670
I'm so cold.

158
00:12:58,200 --> 00:12:59,870
Can you hold me?

159
00:13:00,390 --> 00:13:01,390
Just once,

160
00:13:01,670 --> 00:13:02,840
for the last time.

161
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:04,960
Chun'er.

162
00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:08,270
You have to live well.

163
00:13:10,030 --> 00:13:11,030
For me,

164
00:13:11,790 --> 00:13:13,510
and for our child.

165
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,600
Li Yan.

166
00:13:28,390 --> 00:13:30,120
Li Yan!

167
00:13:36,150 --> 00:13:37,480
Li Yan!

168
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,270
Chu Qiao,

169
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,360
I will never let you go as long as I live!

170
00:14:06,670 --> 00:14:07,670
Your Highness,

171
00:14:08,030 --> 00:14:10,290
the Faceless God let His Highness leave.

172
00:14:10,390 --> 00:14:13,510
The Faceless God is an omnipotent true god.

173
00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:16,110
As long as you devoutly believe in them,

174
00:14:16,270 --> 00:14:19,080
they can return the dead to you.

175
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,600
I thought it was some amazing trick.

176
00:14:30,650 --> 00:14:33,290
Turns out you're just a lying sorcerer.

177
00:14:33,460 --> 00:14:35,190
It's nothing but a simple drug.

178
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,360
Do you really think you can fool me?

179
00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:41,060
Your Highness.
I wouldn't dare.

180
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:44,319
I'm of low status.

181
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:45,789
I'm just a follower of the Faceless God.

182
00:14:45,790 --> 00:14:47,359
I can't possess the
power of the Faceless God,

183
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,479
so I resorted to using knockout drugs.

184
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,480
But the Faceless God
is the almighty true god.

185
00:14:53,670 --> 00:14:55,070
You are a noble Princess,

186
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,720
the chosen one,

187
00:14:56,850 --> 00:14:59,050
and someone closer to the Faceless God.

188
00:14:59,130 --> 00:15:01,299
If you devote yourself
wholeheartedly to the Faceless God,

189
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:04,210
their will shall descend

190
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,480
and fulfill all your desires.

191
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,080
If so,

192
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,750
why don't I take you to see

193
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:18,870
someone closer to the Faceless God?

194
00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:26,090
Didn't I say

195
00:15:27,380 --> 00:15:29,260
only one of you can live?

196
00:15:30,030 --> 00:15:31,600
Why didn't you listen to me?

197
00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:33,640
How disappointing!

198
00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:38,389
Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince.

199
00:15:38,390 --> 00:15:41,750
I came to teach you
how to govern a country,

200
00:15:42,390 --> 00:15:43,870
I didn't come here to drink

201
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,960
and feast with you,

202
00:15:46,270 --> 00:15:49,030
nor to watch you torture
and kill maidservants

203
00:15:49,390 --> 00:15:50,670
for fun.

204
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,600
Grand Tutor,

205
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,200
look clearly.

206
00:15:55,150 --> 00:15:56,840
I'm just practicing archery.

207
00:15:58,140 --> 00:15:59,600
This is hardly amusement.

208
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,320
I never miss a shot. My aim is perfect.

209
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,389
Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince,

210
00:16:07,390 --> 00:16:08,390
you're…

211
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,520
slaughtering innocent people!

212
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,200
Your Highness!

213
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:17,870
Your Highness!

214
00:16:17,871 --> 00:16:20,870
The Thirteenth Prince is
the Son of Heaven's Mandate.

215
00:16:32,630 --> 00:16:34,200
He may do as he pleases.

216
00:16:35,630 --> 00:16:37,399
Greetings to Princess Chun'er.

217
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,730
So you're Zhao Chun'er.

218
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Your Highness,

219
00:16:40,270 --> 00:16:41,790
you should call me sister.

220
00:16:47,510 --> 00:16:48,510
Lift your head.

221
00:16:55,870 --> 00:16:56,870
This maid

222
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,439
not only tore my clothes earlier,

223
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,770
but also bumped into me.

224
00:17:00,030 --> 00:17:01,959
I was just about to
settle the score with her.

225
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,368
It would be too merciful
for Your Highness to kill her.

226
00:17:04,369 --> 00:17:05,829
I want her to live in agony,

227
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,119
unable to live or die.

228
00:17:08,109 --> 00:17:09,750
Your Highness, spare me!

229
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,749
I've never met Your Highness before,

230
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:12,750
how could I— Guards!

231
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,540
Take her to the Zuixian Tower.

232
00:17:15,890 --> 00:17:18,200
Your Highness, have mercy!

233
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,800
Spare me, Your Highness!

234
00:17:21,550 --> 00:17:23,680
Please, have mercy!

235
00:17:33,830 --> 00:17:35,550
Amusing. Most amusing.

236
00:17:41,790 --> 00:17:43,250
Your Highness is too kind,

237
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,789
letting these servants

238
00:17:44,790 --> 00:17:46,550
rant and rave before you.

239
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,200
Sister Chun,

240
00:17:54,510 --> 00:17:56,439
I've only heard others speak of you.

241
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,570
I knew you were an interesting person,

242
00:17:59,590 --> 00:18:01,590
yet I never imagined you'd be so

243
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,730
stunningly beautiful.

244
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,260
I have something even more interesting.

245
00:18:09,030 --> 00:18:10,349
Would Your Highness care to

246
00:18:10,350 --> 00:18:11,880
come see it with me?

247
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,509
It's just an ancestral shrine.

248
00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:27,310
What's so fascinating about it?

249
00:18:28,070 --> 00:18:29,800
Don't be hasty, Your Highness.

250
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,880
Come with me.

251
00:18:34,210 --> 00:18:36,450
O Almighty Faceless God,

252
00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:39,789
hear the prayers of your believers.

253
00:18:39,790 --> 00:18:41,719
Reveal your true form to the world,

254
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,309
guard the peace of all realms,

255
00:18:43,310 --> 00:18:45,030
and abide with me forever.

256
00:19:12,550 --> 00:19:13,550
On this statue…

257
00:19:14,350 --> 00:19:15,880
I see myself on this statue!

258
00:19:16,590 --> 00:19:18,000
I see my own face!

259
00:19:21,790 --> 00:19:23,959
Only those chosen by the Faceless God

260
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,309
can see their own faces

261
00:19:25,310 --> 00:19:26,790
on this sacred statue.

262
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,240
Your Highness,

263
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,549
you are the Son of the Faceless God,

264
00:19:31,550 --> 00:19:33,610
the incarnation of the Faceless God.

265
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,480
In the future, you shall not
only be King of Great Yong,

266
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,550
but ruler of the entire world.

267
00:19:59,670 --> 00:20:00,510
General Qiu Lin!

268
00:20:00,511 --> 00:20:01,749
By the General's order!

269
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:02,810
Step aside at once!

270
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,070
By the King's order,

271
00:20:05,071 --> 00:20:07,069
General Qiu Lin is stationed
at the Northern Garrison.

272
00:20:07,070 --> 00:20:10,270
Without the King's decree,
he may not enter Ximengcheng.

273
00:20:28,550 --> 00:20:30,199
Without decrees from both
the King and General Meng En,

274
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,660
no one is permitted entry.

275
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:37,960
General Qiu Lin.

276
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,720
Long time no see.

277
00:20:43,310 --> 00:20:44,310
General Meng,

278
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:46,680
perfect timing.

279
00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:49,200
I left Ximengcheng less than a month ago.

280
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:50,790
How is it that

281
00:20:51,030 --> 00:20:53,640
everything has changed so drastically here?

282
00:20:53,790 --> 00:20:55,720
What do you mean, General Qiu Lin?

283
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:57,680
I don't understand.

284
00:20:58,030 --> 00:20:59,510
Don't play dumb.

285
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,399
You know full well the
guards of Ximengcheng

286
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:03,960
once took orders from me.

287
00:21:04,350 --> 00:21:05,350
A month ago,

288
00:21:05,510 --> 00:21:08,200
I was ordered by the
King to garrison the north.

289
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,029
Yet upon my return,

290
00:21:10,030 --> 00:21:12,680
I find Ximengcheng has
fallen into new hands.

291
00:21:14,110 --> 00:21:15,110
General Meng,

292
00:21:15,790 --> 00:21:17,070
tell me...

293
00:21:17,510 --> 00:21:20,589
Who issued these ridiculous orders?

294
00:21:20,590 --> 00:21:22,509
Who freed my slaves?

295
00:21:22,510 --> 00:21:24,360
Who turned my own men

296
00:21:24,390 --> 00:21:25,980
into yours?

297
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,760
All of this is by the King's will.

298
00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:35,130
I am only carrying out his orders.

299
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,550
I intend to find out

300
00:21:38,270 --> 00:21:41,640
exactly what he's planning.

301
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,890
General Qiu Lin, you know full well

302
00:21:46,030 --> 00:21:47,120
the consequences

303
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,510
of trespassing in the inner palace

304
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,280
without the King's command.

305
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,020
I refuse to believe

306
00:22:02,350 --> 00:22:04,480
I will never be allowed to see the King.

307
00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:21,310
General,

308
00:22:22,270 --> 00:22:23,959
are we just going to leave like this?

309
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,310
The more they block us,

310
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:28,030
the more dirt they're hiding.

311
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,770
Then what should we...

312
00:22:32,550 --> 00:22:33,400
In seven days,

313
00:22:33,401 --> 00:22:35,530
it will be Ximeng's Fire God Festival.

314
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:37,749
King Ximeng will stand before his people

315
00:22:37,750 --> 00:22:39,010
to pray for blessings.

316
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,880
They can hide for now,

317
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:42,480
but on that day,

318
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,640
no matter how great the secret,

319
00:22:45,030 --> 00:22:47,790
I will expose it to the light.

320
00:23:00,050 --> 00:23:02,360
[Seven Days Later, the
Fire God Sacrifice Ceremony]

321
00:23:02,590 --> 00:23:06,110
Today is Ximeng's Fire Worship Day.

322
00:23:06,750 --> 00:23:09,880
Our King Ximeng and all people of Ximeng

323
00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:13,480
are blessed and protected
by the Red Fire God.

324
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,720
Today we gather to thank
the gods for their gifts.

325
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,160
The gods have accepted our offerings.

326
00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:47,070
Let King Ximeng pray for us.

327
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:17,680
Traitors!

328
00:24:18,070 --> 00:24:20,029
How dare you impersonate King Ximeng!

329
00:24:20,030 --> 00:24:20,690
Seize them!

330
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,439
Surround these men!

331
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,550
Not one escapes!

332
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,880
You think a mere mask lets
you pretend to be King Ximeng?

333
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,420
Let's see what kind of fool

334
00:24:34,550 --> 00:24:36,400
you've put in his place.

335
00:24:42,670 --> 00:24:43,670
This…

336
00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:47,380
You tricked us!

337
00:25:06,940 --> 00:25:08,340
Zhuge Yue!

338
00:25:10,790 --> 00:25:12,350
Insolent Qiu Lin!

339
00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:14,240
How dare you rebel!

340
00:25:15,270 --> 00:25:17,000
I knew it was you.

341
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,960
But you are only the King's shadow.

342
00:25:20,590 --> 00:25:21,880
The real King Ximeng

343
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,439
died by your hands long ago, didn't he?

344
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,070
Qiu Lin!

345
00:25:25,270 --> 00:25:26,959
How dare you question the King's identity!

346
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,550
What?

347
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:28,879
The King is dead?

348
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,029
Slandering the King is a capital offense!

349
00:25:30,030 --> 00:25:31,030
Shut your mouth!

350
00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:33,150
Who do you think you are to speak?

351
00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:34,830
Foolish blind fool!

352
00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:36,349
Thirty years ago,

353
00:25:36,350 --> 00:25:38,439
I fought side by side
with King Ximeng right here,

354
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,679
conquering this land.

355
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,540
How could I not know his true face?

356
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,640
Zhuge Yue,

357
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,720
use your head.

358
00:25:47,060 --> 00:25:48,260
Can that face of yours

359
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,589
possibly pass for a man past forty

360
00:25:50,590 --> 00:25:53,440
with a disfigured face?

361
00:25:56,090 --> 00:25:58,669
Ximengcheng has stood
for nearly twenty years.

362
00:25:58,670 --> 00:26:01,230
King Ximeng can't possibly be this young.

363
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,199
But no one has ever seen

364
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,589
what he really looks like.

365
00:26:04,590 --> 00:26:05,270
Maybe…

366
00:26:05,271 --> 00:26:07,309
he's different from ordinary people.

367
00:26:07,310 --> 00:26:09,029
They say King Ximeng
is horribly disfigured,

368
00:26:09,030 --> 00:26:10,069
which is why he wears a mask.

369
00:26:10,070 --> 00:26:11,199
But this face doesn't look

370
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,589
frightening at all.

371
00:26:12,590 --> 00:26:13,979
I've seen this man before.

372
00:26:13,980 --> 00:26:15,239
He's really just a slave

373
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,100
taken to be King Ximeng's double.

374
00:26:20,110 --> 00:26:21,110
Zhuge Yue,

375
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,750
I knew you wouldn't admit it easily.

376
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,790
So I've brought a friend for you.

377
00:26:31,350 --> 00:26:32,410
Bring him forward!

378
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:45,920
Who is that?

379
00:26:46,510 --> 00:26:48,720
It's King of Lingyue!

380
00:26:49,030 --> 00:26:50,230
He's King of Lingyue!

381
00:26:50,510 --> 00:26:51,710
What's he doing here?

382
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:52,880
That's right.

383
00:26:53,030 --> 00:26:54,750
This is King of Lingyue.

384
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,299
When King Ximeng conquered this land,

385
00:26:58,300 --> 00:26:59,670
he took in his clan.

386
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:03,490
He was fortunate enough to see
the King's face beneath the mask.

387
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,680
Today we shall have him identify

388
00:27:07,310 --> 00:27:10,200
who this man truly is.

389
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,100
You've heard everything.

390
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:16,640
Speak.

391
00:27:18,350 --> 00:27:21,960
Is this King Ximeng you knew?

392
00:27:35,270 --> 00:27:37,440
Speak truthfully,

393
00:27:38,950 --> 00:27:41,220
and these delicious buns are all yours.

394
00:27:41,820 --> 00:27:44,070
Tell me — who is this man?

395
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,269
Do you recognize him?

396
00:27:45,270 --> 00:27:47,030
Is he King Ximeng you knew?

397
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,640
Speak! Speak!

398
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:52,920
Speak!

399
00:27:53,460 --> 00:27:54,549
He is not King Ximeng.

400
00:27:54,550 --> 00:27:55,679
Louder!

401
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,110
He is not King Ximeng!

402
00:28:00,150 --> 00:28:00,910
Zhuge Yue.

403
00:28:00,930 --> 00:28:02,000
You heard him.

404
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,109
Now everyone who has seen
His Majesty's true face

405
00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:06,920
has denied your identity.

406
00:28:07,550 --> 00:28:09,000
What else can you argue?

407
00:28:35,370 --> 00:28:38,090
Do you still remember who you are?

408
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:11,920
Li.

409
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:13,960
I'm sorry.

410
00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:16,960
Can you forgive me?

411
00:29:17,570 --> 00:29:19,329
At the highest point of Mount Wumu,

412
00:29:19,330 --> 00:29:22,170
we were to meet at
sunrise. But I came too late.

413
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,110
Li, I'm sorry.

414
00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:26,899
At the highest point of Mount Wumu,

415
00:29:26,900 --> 00:29:29,430
we were to meet at
sunrise. But I came too late.

416
00:29:30,030 --> 00:29:31,310
Please forgive me.

417
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,719
King of Lingyue has long lost his sanity.

418
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,960
Li, I'm sorry.

419
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,030
I came too late.

420
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,440
How can his words

421
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:39,880
be trusted?

422
00:29:39,970 --> 00:29:41,010
I came too late.

423
00:29:41,990 --> 00:29:43,270
Li, I'm sorry.

424
00:29:43,300 --> 00:29:44,300
Qiu Lin.

425
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,510
Using the words of a madman

426
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,320
to overturn King Ximeng,

427
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,060
what are you really plotting?

428
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,310
Useless lunatic!

429
00:30:11,630 --> 00:30:13,630
I have fought in wars for many years.

430
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,679
I have brought unnecessary tragedies

431
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,240
to many tribes.

432
00:30:20,110 --> 00:30:21,110
But now,

433
00:30:21,830 --> 00:30:23,510
Ximeng has reformed.

434
00:30:24,180 --> 00:30:26,690
From now on, not only the Lingyue Clan,

435
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,109
but all other tribes
may keep their own customs

436
00:30:29,110 --> 00:30:31,110
and govern their own strongholds.

437
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:34,440
Except

438
00:30:35,070 --> 00:30:37,000
that slavery is no longer allowed,

439
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,199
everything else remains the same.

440
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,789
Annual tribute will be cut in half.

441
00:30:41,790 --> 00:30:42,790
Cut in half?
Is it true?

442
00:30:43,750 --> 00:30:44,750
No idea.

443
00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:46,110
It is true?

444
00:30:51,670 --> 00:30:53,930
I just came from General Qiu Lin's estate

445
00:30:54,350 --> 00:30:56,010
and found something strange.

446
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,760
The abolition of slavery
in Ximeng is known to all.

447
00:30:59,830 --> 00:31:02,490
How is it that you know
nothing of this, General,

448
00:31:02,550 --> 00:31:04,510
and yet keep hundreds of slaves

449
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,310
on your own estate?

450
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,189
General, are you openly defying
the new policies of Ximeng,

451
00:31:10,190 --> 00:31:11,990
or do you have some other motive?

452
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,160
New policies?

453
00:31:14,110 --> 00:31:16,160
When even King Ximeng is a fake,

454
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,589
what kind of darn new policy is there?

455
00:31:18,590 --> 00:31:21,109
Are you questioning
whether King Ximeng is real,

456
00:31:21,110 --> 00:31:23,370
or are you unwilling to abolish slavery,

457
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,349
resenting that King Ximeng
has harmed your interests,

458
00:31:26,350 --> 00:31:29,750
and using this as an excuse to
commit regicide and rebellion?

459
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,510
That's bullshit!

460
00:31:34,020 --> 00:31:35,020
Let's go.

461
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Long live the King!

462
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,240
May all tribes of Ximeng unite
as one and prosper for generations!

463
00:31:44,510 --> 00:31:46,350
Long live the King!

464
00:31:47,790 --> 00:31:49,350
Ximeng has reformed.

465
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,240
From now on,

466
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,090
there is no need to kneel in obeisance.

467
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,200
Long live the King!

468
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,920
May all tribes of Ximeng unite
as one and prosper for generations!

469
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,410
United as one, prospering for generations!

470
00:32:17,620 --> 00:32:19,950
[Six years ago]

471
00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:51,400
Run!

472
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:02,510
I learned this game

473
00:33:02,511 --> 00:33:04,919
from a foreign merchant newly
arrived from the Western Regions.

474
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,159
The wolves in our hunting grounds
have been starved for 3 days,

475
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,359
their eyes already red with hunger.

476
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:09,840
We can shoot these beasts,

477
00:33:10,270 --> 00:33:12,400
or we can shoot other people's slaves.

478
00:33:12,570 --> 00:33:14,090
So, is it interesting?

479
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,360
Zhuge Huai.

480
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,440
Isn't this game a bit too cruel?

481
00:33:50,670 --> 00:33:52,509
They are just a few young slave girls.

482
00:33:52,510 --> 00:33:54,239
If Your Highness can't bear it,

483
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,069
I will personally visit another day

484
00:33:56,070 --> 00:33:57,400
and send you a new batch.

485
00:33:57,590 --> 00:33:59,920
Our Zhuge family has plenty.

486
00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:07,310
Run!

487
00:34:16,730 --> 00:34:17,730
Run!

488
00:34:21,969 --> 00:34:22,739
Zhuge Huai!

489
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,130
Have you lost your mind?

490
00:34:25,090 --> 00:34:26,090
Run!

491
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,060
Heir Apparent Yan,

492
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:48,589
what do you mean by this?

493
00:34:48,590 --> 00:34:50,129
Since this is an archery contest,

494
00:34:50,130 --> 00:34:53,340
killing and saving
with arrows are the same.

495
00:35:09,450 --> 00:35:10,780
Bite her! Bite her!

496
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:46,960
Heir Apparent Yan.

497
00:35:46,961 --> 00:35:49,029
Are you deliberately making
things difficult for me?

498
00:35:49,030 --> 00:35:50,690
We each rely on our own skills.

499
00:35:50,730 --> 00:35:54,190
Young Master Huai, why lose
your temper out of embarrassment?

500
00:36:05,510 --> 00:36:06,510
Run!

501
00:36:07,230 --> 00:36:08,230
Great!

502
00:36:09,070 --> 00:36:10,070
Be careful!

503
00:36:20,230 --> 00:36:21,230
Zhuge Yue.

504
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,250
Now this warm sunlight of equality for all

505
00:36:24,390 --> 00:36:27,650
has finally melted the frozen
ground once bound in chains.

506
00:36:33,230 --> 00:36:34,230
These medicines

507
00:36:34,510 --> 00:36:36,170
were all prepared by Xiao Ran.

508
00:36:36,190 --> 00:36:37,920
Make sure he takes them on time.

509
00:36:38,030 --> 00:36:39,709
Only then can the Blood
on Snow poison in his body

510
00:36:39,710 --> 00:36:41,040
be completely cleared.

511
00:36:43,110 --> 00:36:44,110
I entrust

512
00:36:45,150 --> 00:36:46,750
King of Lingyue to your care.

513
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Let's go.

514
00:36:54,030 --> 00:36:55,090
I'm not going back.

515
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,490
I'm going to find Li.

516
00:36:58,320 --> 00:36:59,320
King of Lingyue.

517
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:00,360
Here.

518
00:37:01,150 --> 00:37:02,150
Li is

519
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,919
waiting for you at Mount Wumu.

520
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,399
She has been waiting
for you for a long time.

521
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:06,800
If you don't go back soon,

522
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,190
she will be angry.

523
00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:10,190
I'm going back.

524
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,540
Li is waiting for me at Mount Wumu.

525
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,320
I'm going back to find Li.

526
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,320
I'm going back to find Li.

527
00:37:19,230 --> 00:37:20,630
I'm going back to find Li!

528
00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:21,560
Let's go.

529
00:37:21,710 --> 00:37:23,110
I'm going back to find Li!

530
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:25,760
I'm going back.

531
00:37:26,510 --> 00:37:27,920
I'm going back to find Li!

532
00:37:30,220 --> 00:37:30,800
Shiyi and I

533
00:37:30,801 --> 00:37:33,860
will escort them to the
mountain pass ahead and return.

534
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,170
Why do you think King of Lingyue

535
00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:51,440
gave me the green-eyed bird?

536
00:37:53,550 --> 00:37:55,400
The Queen of Lingyue once told me

537
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,069
that in their language, the green-eyed bird

538
00:37:58,070 --> 00:37:59,280
means trust.

539
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,880
The gemstone used for its eyes

540
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,320
is a rare stone of the Lingyue Clan.

541
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,120
It can test a lover's sincerity.

542
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,050
Each person in a couple has one.

543
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,320
It's because if either of them lies,

544
00:38:13,110 --> 00:38:15,480
the stone will glow.

545
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,210
If you don't believe it,

546
00:38:19,590 --> 00:38:20,760
we can test it.

547
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,660
Let me ask you a few questions.

548
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,740
You must answer them truthfully.

549
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:31,280
Alright.

550
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,320
Zhuge Yue.

551
00:38:36,710 --> 00:38:37,710
Up to now,

552
00:38:38,550 --> 00:38:40,210
how many women have you liked?

553
00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:45,150
Three.

554
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:47,280
Three?

555
00:38:50,510 --> 00:38:51,150
The first

556
00:38:51,510 --> 00:38:53,589
was a maidservant from
Qingshan Manor of Great Yong,

557
00:38:53,590 --> 00:38:54,590
named Xing.

558
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:58,480
The second?

559
00:38:58,590 --> 00:38:59,590
The second

560
00:39:00,590 --> 00:39:02,839
was the leader of the
Xiuli Army in Great Yan,

561
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:03,960
named Chu Qiao.

562
00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:07,360
And the last one?

563
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:09,480
The last one

564
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,440
is now my Queen Ximeng.

565
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,260
Now it's my turn to ask.

566
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:22,400
Xing.

567
00:39:23,150 --> 00:39:25,680
Up to now, how many men
have you liked in total?

568
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,840
Three.

569
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,450
The first was free and wild,

570
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,130
bold and unrestrained.

571
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:33,770
He was an eagle of the skies.

572
00:39:37,190 --> 00:39:38,190
Yan Xun.

573
00:39:39,230 --> 00:39:40,230
And the second?

574
00:39:40,550 --> 00:39:41,550
The second

575
00:39:42,110 --> 00:39:44,590
was charming and carefree, full of spirit.

576
00:39:46,510 --> 00:39:47,510
Sadly,

577
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:49,630
he died young.

578
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:51,280
You liked Li Ce too?

579
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,840
I was lying to you.

580
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,740
I didn't like the first two at all.

581
00:39:59,590 --> 00:40:00,920
I only like the last one.

582
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,150
He is

583
00:40:05,190 --> 00:40:06,920
a block of ice,

584
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,210
cold and aloof, utterly
clueless about romance.

585
00:40:11,550 --> 00:40:13,479
Who's this cold and clueless block of ice

586
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:16,800
you are talking about?

587
00:40:18,710 --> 00:40:20,150
He's right

588
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,320
in front of me.

589
00:40:23,630 --> 00:40:26,230
He's also a strikingly handsome man,

590
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:28,960
graceful and refined,

591
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,210
yet still a block of ice.

592
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,320
Why are you so petty?

593
00:40:37,580 --> 00:40:38,190
I learned it from you,

594
00:40:38,191 --> 00:40:40,000
you clueless block of ice.

595
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:15,690
[Yunlai Inn]

596
00:41:28,670 --> 00:41:29,670
General Cheng.

597
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,280
Your Highness.

598
00:41:47,030 --> 00:41:49,090
This was picked up from Tubu that day.

599
00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:50,990
I forgot to return it at the time.

600
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Today I came especially to
return it to Your Highness.

601
00:42:00,030 --> 00:42:01,070
You mended this?

602
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,280
In the future,

603
00:42:11,150 --> 00:42:13,350
please be more careful, Your Highness.

604
00:42:13,710 --> 00:42:15,440
If there is nothing important,

605
00:42:17,070 --> 00:42:18,879
it would be best not to leave the palace.

606
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,279
If anything were to
happen to Your Highness,

607
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,280
it would also be His Majesty's loss.

608
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,480
That would mean

609
00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:26,709
it is our responsibility as well.

610
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:28,240
You called me out specially

611
00:42:28,990 --> 00:42:30,440
just to say this?

612
00:42:36,630 --> 00:42:37,630
Yes.

613
00:42:43,550 --> 00:42:45,950
I understand what you mean, General Cheng.

614
00:42:58,590 --> 00:43:00,319
The jade pendant has been broken.

615
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,380
Just throw it away.

616
00:43:14,550 --> 00:43:15,550
Your Highness.

617
00:43:15,590 --> 00:43:17,319
Why did you come out so quickly?

618
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,780
You left behind the cloak you
meant to return to General Cheng.

619
00:43:48,190 --> 00:43:50,799
I heard Ximeng has
discovered a black gold mine.

620
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:52,509
Can you really give up everything

621
00:43:52,510 --> 00:43:54,439
and run away with that slave girl?

622
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,149
Then shouldn't the
wound from Qingshan Manor

623
00:43:56,150 --> 00:43:57,630
heal as well?

624
00:43:57,880 --> 00:43:58,590
Jing Xiaoliu.

625
00:43:58,591 --> 00:43:59,650
Why can't you do it?

626
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,500
Why must you push me like this?

627
00:44:02,630 --> 00:44:03,760
Please forget me.

628
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:05,529
Just pretend that I really

629
00:44:05,530 --> 00:44:06,800
died in the frozen lake.
