Excuse me, are you guys buying anything?

183
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,320
You have such a gentle face. You
mustn't let these ugly masks cover it up.

184
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,720
The Jiangnan marketplace is pretty lively.

185
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,150
It doesn't look like
it's affected by the flood at all.

186
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:30,620
I'm sure someone is hiding the truth.

189
00:12:34,930 --> 00:12:37,440
Mister, let's buy one each.

190
00:12:42,030 --> 00:12:42,800
Here.

191
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,150
- Thank you, mister.
- Keep the change.

192
00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:45,850
Thank you, mister.

193
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:48,560
I understand now.

194
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,560
You weren't willing to buy two because Jiangnan
was lacking in supplies after the flood.

195
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,180
That's why you only bought one for me.

196
00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:58,510
Food is precious here.

197
00:12:58,510 --> 00:13:01,090
But why are we able to buy them so easily?

198
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:05,180
Let's check out the rice shop.

[Shenghe Rice Shop]

200
00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:18,380
Such a strong smell.

201
00:13:34,290 --> 00:13:36,290
Dear customers.

202
00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:37,680
Are you guys here to buy rice?

203
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:41,050
Yes. Mister, I'll have one dan of brown rice.

204
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,170
One dan?

205
00:13:43,170 --> 00:13:46,170
Mister, you're buying too little here.

206
00:13:46,170 --> 00:13:47,440
One dan is too little?

207
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,320
It can last us for at least half a year.

208
00:13:53,250 --> 00:13:55,900
You two must be from out of town.

209
00:13:55,900 --> 00:13:57,560
You guys might have no idea.

210
00:13:57,560 --> 00:14:01,320
Our shop usually does
business with rich families.

211
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,150
We don't sell rice to individual buyers
like you two.

212
00:14:05,150 --> 00:14:08,030
And they're not willing to purchase in bulk.

213
00:14:08,030 --> 00:14:10,290
Are you saying that you have
too much rice in store?

214
00:14:10,290 --> 00:14:13,660
That's right. There's too much rice.

215
00:14:14,750 --> 00:14:16,030
Mister,

216
00:14:16,030 --> 00:14:18,180
just give me your price.

217
00:14:20,530 --> 00:14:22,460
Two silver taels per dan?

218
00:14:23,930 --> 00:14:26,650
It's 20 silver taels per dan.

219
00:14:26,650 --> 00:14:28,450
20 silver taels?

220
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:30,240
That's expensive.

221
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,290
Forget it. Let's head to another shop.

00:14:32,290 --> 00:14:33,590
Let's go.

223
00:14:35,290 --> 00:14:36,420
You misers.

224
00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:38,820
You guys will starve to death soon.

225
00:14:40,030 --> 00:14:43,240
Jiangnan encountered a flood,
and their harvest was subpar.

226
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,680
However, merchants here
actually have excess grain in stock?

227
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,620
This is obviously strange.

228
00:14:48,290 --> 00:14:51,110
Your Highness, do you know what's stranger?

229
00:14:51,110 --> 00:14:53,410
There was dust mixed within the rice.

230
00:14:53,410 --> 00:14:55,030
These are aged rice.

231
00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:57,170
These should be grain from
the imperial granary.

232
00:14:57,170 --> 00:14:59,420
They kept them during years of bountiful harvest
and used them for disaster relief efforts.

233
00:14:59,420 --> 00:15:01,420
That's why the rice is in this state.

234
00:15:01,420 --> 00:15:02,660
Let's go.

235
00:15:02,660 --> 00:15:04,700
Let's head back and discuss it.

236
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:06,170

237
00:15:06,170 --> 00:15:08,750

We haven't finished shopping yet.

238

239
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,130
Your Highness, since you've witnessed
how prosperous Jiangnan is,

240
00:15:14,130 --> 00:15:17,030
isn't it time for us
to witness the other side now?

241
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,820
Yes.

242
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:22,360
I assume the flood victims have been chased out of the city.

243
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,250

Ren Anle, why did you bring me here?

246
00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:36,560
What are you doing?

247
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,170
I'm helping you to put on a disguise.

248
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:40,290
It's too obvious if we pretend
to be flood victims in this getup.

249
00:15:40,290 --> 00:15:41,385
Come here.

250
00:15:41,385 --> 00:15:45,090
I... Well... I can do it myself.

251
00:15:45,090 --> 00:15:46,660

What are you trying to do?

255
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,900
We have to smear our faces too.

00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:05,130
Fine, then.

257
00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:06,930
- Mister.
- I have nothing.

258
00:16:06,930 --> 00:16:08,430
Go away.

259
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,170
Mister.

260
00:16:11,170 --> 00:16:13,710
Stop right there! What are you two doing?

00:16:14,770 --> 00:16:17,410
Sirs, we're starving.

262
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:19,170
The governor prohibited you guys
from staying in the city.

263
00:16:19,170 --> 00:16:21,890
How dare lowly victims like you two
still stay in the city!

264
00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:25,450
Sir, please spare us some food.

265
00:16:25,930 --> 00:16:27,560
Come! Bring them to the usual spot.

266
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,060

- Next.
- I'm starving.

270
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:50,900
Next.

271
00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:52,050
Don't waste my time. Hurry up!

275
00:16:57,530 --> 00:16:59,060
Forget it.

276
00:17:09,380 --> 00:17:10,880
Here.

277
00:17:11,470 --> 00:17:13,610
- Slowly.
- Those at the back, hurry.

278
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,417
When the borders are at war,

279
00:17:18,417 --> 00:17:21,720
they sent their sons and husbands to the war.

280
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,070
During droughts,

281
00:17:24,070 --> 00:17:26,670
they dug ditches to irrigate the fields.

282
00:17:26,670 --> 00:17:28,850
But now...

283
00:17:28,850 --> 00:17:30,530
Those at the back, hurry.

284
00:17:33,270 --> 00:17:34,430
Your Highness, there are plenty of things you haven't witnessed yet.

285
00:17:34,430 --> 00:17:36,240
Your Highness, there are plenty of things you haven't witnessed yet.

286
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,540
They take human lives lightly.

287
00:17:37,540 --> 00:17:39,640
They treat the people like animals.

288
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,810
Please give me more.

289
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:42,280
It's my fault.

290
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,350
This isn't your fault.

291
00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:47,130
It's the fault of those corrupt officials.

292
00:17:47,130 --> 00:17:48,930
They get away with doing whatever they want
and embezzle funds without feeling guilty.

293
00:17:48,930 --> 00:17:50,240
That's why people are suffering.

294
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,040
Ren Anle, mind your words.

295
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,520
Ren Anle, mind your words.

296
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,330
You better take those words back.

I'm in no mood to banter
after witnessing such a scene.

300
00:18:04,750 --> 00:18:06,450
Coming.

00:18:15,270 --> 00:18:16,380
Prepare to leave.

00:18:16,380 --> 00:18:18,280
Keep the food away.

Please give us a little more!

306

Don't get drenched.

311
00:18:55,470 --> 00:18:58,210
I was drenched long ago.
The soil on your face is gone.

312
00:18:58,210 --> 00:19:00,540

between reassuring the people
and investigating Mutian Prefecture,

315
00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:12,440
I wish to proceed with the former first.

316
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,190
However, you can't do that
without a sufficient food supply.

317
00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:16,470
I have an idea.

318
00:19:16,470 --> 00:19:18,520
The rice merchants have plenty of food supply.

319
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,470
So, Your Highness, you intend to
emulate what I did in the past and rob them?

320
00:19:21,470 --> 00:19:24,340
We still need to follow the righteous path.

321
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:27,100
Your Highness, since the lucky Ren Anle is with you, you'll definitely achieve what you desire.

322
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:28,980
Your Highness, since the lucky Ren Anle is with you, you'll definitely achieve what you desire.

the wind is fierce, and it's pouring out there.

00:20:08,610 --> 00:20:11,910
This medicine can ward off the cold.

327
00:20:24,580 --> 00:20:26,020
Here's some candied fruit.

328
00:20:32,470 --> 00:20:33,970
By the way, sir,

330
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,520
There was nothing suspicious about it.

331
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,090
His family was living in the border area
between the Jing State and Northern Qin

332
00:20:41,090 --> 00:20:43,420
and was shattered due to the war.

333
00:20:43,420 --> 00:20:45,890
He was saved by Princess Anning five years ago.

334
00:20:45,890 --> 00:20:48,520
After that, the Princess took him in
as her bodyguard.

335
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,980
Princess Anning treats him differently.

336
00:20:50,980 --> 00:20:52,520
Maybe it's because she saved him at the foot of Qingnan Mountain.

337
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,260
Maybe it's because she saved him at the foot of Qingnan Mountain.

[Qingnan Mountain, Capital]

339
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,480
General, I met you on Qingnan Mountain.

340
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:09,730
Back then, I was fighting against
a group of Northern Qin soldiers by myself.

341
00:21:09,730 --> 00:21:11,910
I was cornered.

342
00:21:12,750 --> 00:21:14,550
That's right.

343
00:21:14,550 --> 00:21:17,140
You slew all of them by yourself.

344
00:21:17,140 --> 00:21:19,230
You slew all of them by yourself.

345
00:21:19,230 --> 00:21:21,130
I thought to myself

346
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,760
that you could be of use to the Jing State.

347
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,760

348
00:21:38,270 --> 00:21:40,370

350
00:21:47,710 --> 00:21:48,850
Why are you following me?

00:21:48,850 --> 00:21:50,630
General, I will follow you.

352
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,570
I command tens of thousands of soldiers
from the Northeast.

353
00:21:57,570 --> 00:21:59,230
What gives you the right to serve me?

354
00:21:59,230 --> 00:22:00,750
General, watch out!

355
00:22:01,230 --> 00:22:03,000
General, I would've been dead

356
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,850
if you didn't save me back then.

357
00:22:06,850 --> 00:22:08,790
I saved you,

358
00:22:08,790 --> 00:22:10,280
and you saved me.

359
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,860
We are even.

360
00:22:11,860 --> 00:22:15,490
General, you saved me due to your selflessness.

361
00:22:15,490 --> 00:22:18,860
I saved you to repay the favor.

362
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,280
During the five years I served you, you paid more attention to me than the others.

363
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,470
During the five years I served you, you paid more attention to me than the others.

364
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:28,680
General, my life is yours.

365
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,820
You're the only person I'm willing
to dedicate my life to.

366
00:22:32,820 --> 00:22:34,930
I'm glad you understand that.

367
00:22:34,930 --> 00:22:37,110
Serve the Jing State well.

368
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,040
I will remember that. I shall take my leave.

369
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,840
I will remember that. I shall take my leave.

370
00:22:51,180 --> 00:22:52,880
I saved you

371
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:55,940
to atone for my sin.

372
00:22:57,510 --> 00:23:00,990
The 80,000 soldiers of the Di Troops
suffered tragic deaths on Qingnan Mountain.

373
00:23:00,990 --> 00:23:03,570
I couldn't do anything about it.

374
00:23:03,570 --> 00:23:06,420
The more people I can save on Qingnan Mountain, the more I can atone for my sin. 
 <i>[Qingnan Mountain]</i>

375
00:23:06,420 --> 00:23:08,820
The more people I can save on Qingnan Mountain, the more I can atone for my sin. 
 <i>[Qingnan Mountain]</i>

376
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,140
Sir, you mentioned that you couldn't find the Flower of Longing in the capital.

377
00:23:20,140 --> 00:23:22,850
Sir, you mentioned that you couldn't find the Flower of Longing in the capital.

378
00:23:22,850 --> 00:23:25,170
I found its seeds for you.

379
00:23:33,850 --> 00:23:35,850
Thank you, Linlang.

380
00:23:39,890 --> 00:23:41,940
Plant them where there's most sunlight.

381
00:23:41,940 --> 00:23:43,640
Okay.

382
00:23:52,140 --> 00:23:54,430
Since they've arrived at Mutian Prefecture...

383
00:23:54,430 --> 00:23:56,075
[Mutian Prefecture]

384
00:23:58,070 --> 00:24:01,130
It's time for the show to begin.

385
00:24:10,420 --> 00:24:12,020
Who's there?

386
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,940
Your Highness?

387
00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:23,610
Ren Anle,

388
00:24:23,610 --> 00:24:25,480
don't tell me you came here at this late hour to talk about disaster relief.

389
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,040
don't tell me you came here at this late hour to talk about disaster relief.

390
00:24:29,140 --> 00:24:32,640
Your Highness, I'll tell you why
once you've dried my hair for me.

391
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,090
I've never done it before.

392
00:24:50,090 --> 00:24:53,760
Actually, I'm here to greet your guest for you.

393
00:24:54,610 --> 00:24:56,270
Jian Song already went to greet them.

394
00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:59,190
What a coincidence. Yuanshu is there too.

395
00:25:17,370 --> 00:25:19,760
Jian Song is pretty good, huh?

396
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,820
Yuanshu is pretty good too.

397
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,330
Your Highness, you don't need to protect me. Just stay near me.

398
00:25:37,330 --> 00:25:39,330
Your Highness, you don't need to protect me. Just stay near me.

399
00:25:45,620 --> 00:25:46,370
Great move.

400
00:25:46,370 --> 00:25:48,470
Your Highness, your move was pretty good too.

401
00:25:49,330 --> 00:25:51,370
Wait. Keep them alive.

402
00:25:56,850 --> 00:25:58,960
It was my negligence.

403
00:26:00,550 --> 00:26:02,380
I hadn't stabbed them yet. Why are they dead already?

404
00:26:02,380 --> 00:26:04,520
I hadn't stabbed them yet. Why are they dead already?

405
00:26:11,090 --> 00:26:13,210
They took poison and ended their own lives.

406
00:26:14,990 --> 00:26:16,760
Your Highness, are you okay? Did they hurt you?

407
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:17,900
Your Highness, are you okay? Did they hurt you?

408
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:20,000
Young Lady, are you okay?

409
00:26:21,890 --> 00:26:24,380
Your Highness, all the assassins we subdued in the courtyard took their own lives.

410
00:26:24,380 --> 00:26:26,380
Your Highness, all the assassins we subdued in the courtyard took their own lives.

411
00:26:27,610 --> 00:26:30,180
The mastermind didn't attempt
to take our lives before.

412
00:26:30,180 --> 00:26:32,510
And now, the assassins he sent all took their own lives to not leave any evidence behind.

413
00:26:32,510 --> 00:26:34,830
And now, the assassins he sent all took their own lives to not leave any evidence behind.

414
00:26:36,510 --> 00:26:40,040
Your Highness, could this be...

415
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,040
This matter is over. You should return to your studies.

416
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,890
This matter is over. You should return to your studies.

417
00:26:42,890 --> 00:26:44,790
What's going on?

418
00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:46,480
Since His Highness is fine, why don't you send me back, Mr. Wen?

419
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,000
Since His Highness is fine, why don't you send me back, Mr. Wen?

420
00:26:49,620 --> 00:26:51,120
Let's go.

421
00:27:06,940 --> 00:27:08,570
So, Your Highness, when did you know that they would come?

422
00:27:08,570 --> 00:27:10,770
So, Your Highness, when did you know that they would come?

423
00:27:10,770 --> 00:27:13,090
When we weren't obstructed during our investigation this afternoon.

424
00:27:13,090 --> 00:27:16,570
When we weren't obstructed during our investigation this afternoon.

425
00:27:17,810 --> 00:27:19,090
I think this assassination should be plotted by both Marquis Zhongyi and Zhong Liwen.

426
00:27:19,090 --> 00:27:22,580
I think this assassination should be plotted by both Marquis Zhongyi and Zhong Liwen.

427
00:27:23,180 --> 00:27:26,240
They chose to assassinate you in this inn. They caused a huge commotion.

428
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,890
They caused a huge commotion.

429
00:27:27,890 --> 00:27:30,550
Besides, these assassins
were martial arts experts.

430
00:27:30,550 --> 00:27:33,970
However, they were only targeting
the fan you were holding.

431
00:27:33,970 --> 00:27:37,420
What a shame. It was a pretty jade fan.

432
00:27:37,420 --> 00:27:40,720
It's obvious that they didn't intend
to assassinate me here.

433
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,050
This is a warning.

434
00:27:43,050 --> 00:27:44,670
You have a point.

435
00:27:44,670 --> 00:27:45,850
Our trip to Jiangnan is His Majesty's current priority.

436
00:27:45,850 --> 00:27:47,940
Our trip to Jiangnan is His Majesty's current priority.

437
00:27:47,940 --> 00:27:49,040
If Your Highness and I do die in Mutian Prefecture,

438
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:50,940
If Your Highness and I do die in Mutian Prefecture,

439
00:27:50,940 --> 00:27:53,620
they'll get themselves in trouble.

440
00:27:53,620 --> 00:27:56,080
That's only one of the possibilities.

441
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,370
There's a second possibility?

442
00:27:57,370 --> 00:27:59,610
Marquis Zhongyi gets his way
by any means necessary.

443
00:27:59,610 --> 00:28:01,510
If we do die here, he can frame Zhong Liwen for our death.

444
00:28:01,510 --> 00:28:04,240
If we do die here, he can frame Zhong Liwen for our death.

445
00:28:05,660 --> 00:28:07,980
So, you think...

446
00:28:07,980 --> 00:28:10,630
Maybe the assassins spared us on purpose.

447
00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:12,350
Maybe the assassins spared us on purpose.

448
00:28:16,460 --> 00:28:18,790
We already tried our best to cover our tracks.

449
00:28:18,790 --> 00:28:20,930
However, they still followed us
all the way to the inn.

450
00:28:20,930 --> 00:28:22,800
It's obvious that there's a spy among us.

451
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,840
It's obvious that there's a spy among us.

452
00:28:29,550 --> 00:28:31,650
My Lord,

453
00:28:31,650 --> 00:28:34,620
did you really send assassins after them?

454
00:28:34,620 --> 00:28:37,380
You're getting yourself into trouble here.

455
00:28:38,690 --> 00:28:42,080
The Crown Prince is hiding in the dark
while Zhong Liwen is out in the open.

456
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,430
It's difficult for him to accomplish his task.

457
00:28:45,430 --> 00:28:47,310
That's why you did this to reveal the Crown Prince's whereabouts.

458
00:28:47,310 --> 00:28:49,350
That's why you did this to reveal the Crown Prince's whereabouts.

459
00:28:49,350 --> 00:28:54,080
I already expected the assassination to fail.

460
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,310
I'm sure the Crown Prince is unharmed.

461
00:28:57,310 --> 00:29:00,260
What can he do about it?

462
00:29:00,260 --> 00:29:03,910
After all, the plot after the assassination

463
00:29:03,910 --> 00:29:06,130
is the true wedding gift I prepared for Han Ye and Ren Anle.

464
00:29:06,130 --> 00:29:10,080
is the true wedding gift I prepared for Han Ye and Ren Anle.

465
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,190
Instead of letting them corner us,

466
00:29:13,190 --> 00:29:15,730
why don't we put them on the spot?

467
00:29:15,730 --> 00:29:18,930
Your Highness, that's why I said
we have great chemistry.

468
00:29:18,930 --> 00:29:20,610
They did all of that as a warning so that we would stop doing things in the dark.

469
00:29:20,610 --> 00:29:22,460
They did all of that as a warning so that we would stop doing things in the dark.

470
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:25,050
They did all of that as a warning so that we would stop doing things in the dark.

471
00:29:25,050 --> 00:29:28,590
We'll reveal ourselves
and lay our cards on the table then.

472
00:29:28,590 --> 00:29:30,250
Okay.

473
00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:34,460
I don't think that's appropriate.

474
00:29:34,460 --> 00:29:36,310
The disaster relief fund will only arrive
after five days.

475
00:29:36,310 --> 00:29:38,130
Your Highness, if the flood victims
knew that you were here

476
00:29:38,130 --> 00:29:41,030
and you didn't do anything to help them,
they would make a mess out of the situation.

477
00:29:41,030 --> 00:29:42,560
Do you think Jiangnan truly lacks food supply and money?

478
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,510
Do you think Jiangnan truly lacks food supply and money?

479
00:29:46,420 --> 00:29:47,850
Wen Shuo, relay my instructions.

480
00:29:47,850 --> 00:29:49,220
Wen Shuo, relay my instructions.

481
00:29:49,220 --> 00:29:51,220
Tell everyone to get changed and prepare for the ceremonial procession.

482
00:29:51,220 --> 00:29:53,600
Tell everyone to get changed and prepare for the ceremonial procession.

483
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,410
I will let the officials of Mutian Prefecture know that the Crown Prince is here overnight.

484
00:29:55,410 --> 00:29:59,250
I will let the officials of Mutian Prefecture know that the Crown Prince is here overnight.

485
00:30:00,700 --> 00:30:02,200
Yes, Your Highness.

486
00:30:09,150 --> 00:30:11,100
[Ping'an Inn]

487
00:30:26,130 --> 00:30:27,750
(Forgive me, Your Highness.)

488
00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:30,750
I had no idea Your Highness was visiting Mutian Prefecture. I was late in receiving Your Highness.

489
00:30:30,750 --> 00:30:33,180
I had no idea Your Highness was visiting Mutian Prefecture. I was late in receiving Your Highness.

490
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:34,660
Not at all. Official Zhong, you're the official in charge here.

491
00:30:34,660 --> 00:30:36,700
Not at all. Official Zhong, you're the official in charge here.

492
00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:38,180
You must be busy with work. It was my fault for not notifying you in time.

493
00:30:38,180 --> 00:30:40,420
You must be busy with work. It was my fault for not notifying you in time.

494
00:30:42,750 --> 00:30:45,130
This is?

495
00:30:46,460 --> 00:30:49,320
This is Official Ren Anle,
the minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

496
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,360
She's also an imperial envoy.

497
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,310
Official Ren.

498
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:55,550
This is a shabby inn.

499
00:30:55,550 --> 00:30:57,220
Your Highness, Official Ren, I have prepared a villa for you two.

500
00:30:57,220 --> 00:31:00,400
Your Highness, Official Ren, I have prepared a villa for you two.

501
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:01,700
No need for that. Mutian Prefecture was struck by a severe flood.

502
00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:03,550
No need for that. Mutian Prefecture was struck by a severe flood.

503
00:31:03,550 --> 00:31:05,420
There's no need to waste any money on me. Moreover,

504
00:31:05,420 --> 00:31:07,420
There's no need to waste any money on me. Moreover,

505
00:31:08,350 --> 00:31:10,750
Official Zhong, your outfit is plain and simple. I assume you're used to living a frugal life.

506
00:31:10,750 --> 00:31:13,250
Official Zhong, your outfit is plain and simple. I assume you're used to living a frugal life.

507
00:31:14,510 --> 00:31:17,560
Your Highness, thank you for understanding.

508
00:31:18,550 --> 00:31:20,030
Mutian Prefecture had opened its granary and distributed all the grains we had after the flood.

509
00:31:20,030 --> 00:31:24,210
Mutian Prefecture had opened its granary and distributed all the grains we had after the flood.

510
00:31:24,210 --> 00:31:25,560
Our granary is empty now. Luckily, Your Highness and Official Ren came here just in time.

511
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,650
Our granary is empty now. Luckily, Your Highness and Official Ren came here just in time.

512
00:31:26,650 --> 00:31:29,940
Our granary is empty now. Luckily, Your Highness and Official Ren came here just in time.

513
00:31:29,940 --> 00:31:32,930
You two have resolved an urgent crisis
faced by all 15 prefectures and cities.

514
00:31:32,930 --> 00:31:35,550
Is the government granary truly empty?

515
00:31:35,550 --> 00:31:37,310
Your Highness, if you don't believe me, I can open it for you.

516
00:31:37,310 --> 00:31:39,660
Your Highness, if you don't believe me, I can open it for you.

517
00:31:39,660 --> 00:31:43,110
Your Highness may take a look yourself.

518
00:31:44,790 --> 00:31:46,830
Official Zhong, I was joking.

519
00:31:46,830 --> 00:31:49,380
Naturally, I believe in you.

520
00:31:49,380 --> 00:31:50,750
Official Zhong, if that was true,

521
00:31:50,750 --> 00:31:52,030
how did the blood letter written by the people end up in the capital then?

522
00:31:52,030 --> 00:31:54,220
how did the blood letter written by the people end up in the capital then?

523
00:31:55,180 --> 00:31:58,470
Official Ren, you may not know,

524
00:31:58,470 --> 00:32:00,750
but Jiangnan is far from the capital.

525
00:32:00,750 --> 00:32:03,790
Although they've just arrived here, we have helped almost all of them to settle down.

526
00:32:03,790 --> 00:32:07,040
Although they've just arrived here, we have helped almost all of them to settle down.

527
00:32:08,510 --> 00:32:12,190
If that's the case, does that mean we don't
need to distribute the disaster relief fund?

528
00:32:14,270 --> 00:32:16,470
Not really.

529
00:32:17,130 --> 00:32:22,030
We have to consider the disaster relief effort
from a long-term perspective.

530
00:32:22,030 --> 00:32:23,660
The merchants in Mutian Prefecture still have some grains with them.

531
00:32:23,660 --> 00:32:25,550
The merchants in Mutian Prefecture still have some grains with them.

532
00:32:25,550 --> 00:32:27,750
That's why I plan to hold a banquet in Wangjiang Terrace with the gentries tomorrow.

533
00:32:27,750 --> 00:32:30,170
That's why I plan to hold a banquet in Wangjiang Terrace with the gentries tomorrow.

534
00:32:30,170 --> 00:32:31,980
Your Highness, Official Ren, please head there together with me to discuss the disaster relief effort.

535
00:32:31,980 --> 00:32:34,220
Your Highness, Official Ren, please head there together with me to discuss the disaster relief effort.

536
00:32:34,220 --> 00:32:36,540
Your Highness, Official Ren, please head there together with me to discuss the disaster relief effort.

537
00:32:37,510 --> 00:32:39,210
Of course.

538
00:32:42,270 --> 00:32:43,790
I don't think we can afford the banquet in Wangjiang Terrace.

539
00:32:43,790 --> 00:32:46,080
I don't think we can afford the banquet in Wangjiang Terrace.

540
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,450
You're sponging off the Crown Prince right now.

541
00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:56,270
I'm sure you can afford
everything in the world.

542
00:33:04,410 --> 00:33:06,030
I'm just a village girl. Your Highness, please look after me tomorrow.

543
00:33:06,030 --> 00:33:09,970
I'm just a village girl. Your Highness, please look after me tomorrow.

544
00:33:12,790 --> 00:33:15,660
Zhong Liwen is influential in Jiangnan.

545
00:33:15,660 --> 00:33:17,460
He's also the brother-in-law of Marquis Zhongyi. Tomorrow, you better keep yourself in check.

546
00:33:17,460 --> 00:33:20,030
He's also the brother-in-law of Marquis Zhongyi. Tomorrow, you better keep yourself in check.

547
00:33:20,030 --> 00:33:21,930
We need to depend on him for what we wish to achieve in Jiangnan.

548
00:33:21,930 --> 00:33:24,690
We need to depend on him for what we wish to achieve in Jiangnan.

549
00:33:26,550 --> 00:33:28,690
What are you trying to do here?

550
00:33:29,750 --> 00:33:31,510
Your Highness, it's been a long day for you. Naturally, I will help you to remove your clothes.

551
00:33:31,510 --> 00:33:34,900
Your Highness, it's been a long day for you. Naturally, I will help you to remove your clothes.

552
00:33:40,270 --> 00:33:43,130
You were usually an unreasonable brute.

553
00:33:43,130 --> 00:33:46,280
I never expected you to be
so gentle in private.

554
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,620
- Indeed.
- I'm seeing you in a different light now.

555
00:33:50,620 --> 00:33:52,750
Your Highness wouldn't have forgotten about Di Ziyuan, who you waited ten years for,

556
00:33:52,750 --> 00:33:54,520
Your Highness wouldn't have forgotten about Di Ziyuan, who you waited ten years for,

557
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,280
if it weren't for my thoughtfulness.

558
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,380
You wouldn't have fallen for me by then.

559
00:33:59,940 --> 00:34:01,540
That's right.

560
00:34:01,540 --> 00:34:03,250
My ten years of longing.

561
00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:05,350
It's all in the past now.

562
00:34:05,350 --> 00:34:08,130
Your Highness, are you speaking the truth?

563
00:34:09,710 --> 00:34:11,510
Your Highness!

564
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:13,750
Your Highness!

565
00:34:16,670 --> 00:34:18,890
Your Highness.

566
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,730
Mind your behavior, Ren Anle.

567
00:34:27,940 --> 00:34:30,230
Zhong Liwen always sends
his men here at the wrong time.

568
00:34:30,230 --> 00:34:32,970
They come and go at the wrong time.

569
00:34:32,970 --> 00:34:35,850
I thought Your Highness
would treat me sincerely

570
00:34:35,850 --> 00:34:37,790
after receiving my thoughtful service.

571
00:34:37,790 --> 00:34:39,670
Ren Anle!

572
00:34:39,670 --> 00:34:42,010
You're getting more and more ridiculous.

573
00:34:45,250 --> 00:34:46,660
Even if I was being ridiculous, you did put on an act together with me, Your Highness.

574
00:34:46,660 --> 00:34:48,140
Even if I was being ridiculous, you did put on an act together with me, Your Highness.

575
00:34:48,140 --> 00:34:49,840
Even if I was being ridiculous, you did put on an act together with me, Your Highness.

576
00:34:55,890 --> 00:34:57,740
Sir, you're back.

577
00:34:57,740 --> 00:34:59,710
How did it go?

578
00:35:00,740 --> 00:35:03,030
His Highness is quite approachable.

579
00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:06,520
However, Ren Anle
is a tough nut to crack.

580
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:07,950
But I believe that stubborn officials like her will crack under pressure eventually.

581
00:35:07,950 --> 00:35:11,711
But I believe that stubborn officials like her will crack under pressure eventually.

582
00:35:12,940 --> 00:35:15,160
She doesn't want to take
the delicacies we offer her, huh?

583
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,100
Don't tell me she wants to try
the bland porridge we make for the victims?

584
00:35:20,310 --> 00:35:24,850
Since His Highness
wants to render merit here,

585
00:35:24,850 --> 00:35:29,080
we should do a beautiful
job and help him out.

586
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,880
By doing so, we're rendering merit too.

587
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:32,810
But what about Marquis Zhongyi?

588
00:35:32,810 --> 00:35:36,410
As for Marquis Zhongyi,
I'll explain it to him myself.

589
00:35:39,410 --> 00:35:40,930
Let's prepare a backup plan by holding a banquet first to show our sincerity.

590
00:35:40,930 --> 00:35:43,810
Let's prepare a backup plan by holding a banquet first to show our sincerity.

591
00:35:43,810 --> 00:35:46,060
Otherwise...

592
00:35:50,730 --> 00:35:53,100
Time to enjoy a show.

593
00:35:53,730 --> 00:35:56,350
Let's see how His Highness is responsible for causing a riot

594
00:35:56,350 --> 00:35:58,670
Let's see how His Highness is responsible for causing a riot

595
00:35:59,250 --> 00:36:01,730
after arriving in Jiangnan.

596
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,630
It's difficult to raise funds and supplies
for the disaster relief effort.

597
00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:14,610
Zhong Liwen is holding a banquet

598
00:36:14,610 --> 00:36:17,140
so that he can use the disaster relief fund I have to buy the extra grains from those wealthy merchants.

599
00:36:17,140 --> 00:36:19,820
so that he can use the disaster relief fund I have to buy the extra grains from those wealthy merchants.

600
00:36:20,550 --> 00:36:23,250
However, those grains were supposed
to be in the imperial granary.

601
00:36:23,250 --> 00:36:27,580
In the end, they'll get
their hands on the fund.

602
00:36:29,620 --> 00:36:32,250
His deceptive plan is brilliant indeed.

603
00:36:32,250 --> 00:36:34,970
Official Zhong is a good strategist, huh?

604
00:36:34,970 --> 00:36:37,470
Gu Yunnian sees you as a thorn in his flesh.

605
00:36:37,470 --> 00:36:40,520
And Zhong Liwen will definitely
defame you during the banquet.

606
00:36:41,410 --> 00:36:44,250
But Your Highness looks very composed.

607
00:36:44,250 --> 00:36:47,120
I'm sure you have your own plans.

608
00:36:51,100 --> 00:36:52,900
Ren Anle,

609
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:55,610
you're my bosom friend indeed.

610
00:36:56,580 --> 00:36:58,280
Bosom friend?

611
00:36:59,070 --> 00:37:02,360
A bosom friend who is at your beck and call?

612
00:37:05,430 --> 00:37:07,890
It's fine. I'm thick-skinned.

613
00:37:07,890 --> 00:37:09,140
I'm your bosom friend as long as Your Highness says so.

614
00:37:09,140 --> 00:37:10,890
I'm your bosom friend as long as Your Highness says so.

615
00:37:10,890 --> 00:37:14,100
However, Your Highness, can you agree to my request if I have any?

616
00:37:14,100 --> 00:37:16,280
However, Your Highness, can you agree to my request if I have any?

617
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,080
- Ren Anle...
- It's like this.

618
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,310
Your Highness, I just hope that
you can address me as Beauty.

619
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,020
- Beauty.
- Okay. From now on, that's my rank.

620
00:37:36,020 --> 00:37:38,680
Your Highness, you already said yes.

621
00:37:46,930 --> 00:37:48,530
This tea is nice.

622
00:37:55,390 --> 00:37:57,410
A straight needle one cun beyond Chize can relieve coldness and cough.

623
00:37:57,410 --> 00:37:59,490
A straight needle one cun beyond Chize can relieve coldness and cough.

624
00:38:04,070 --> 00:38:07,490
A diagonal needle one cun beyond Bingfeng
can invigorate the blood and qi.

625
00:38:11,140 --> 00:38:14,260
I learned this technique
from a famous physician in the capital.

626
00:38:15,930 --> 00:38:18,680
Sir, your body will definitely recover if you can take this treatment once every three days.

627
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,950
Sir, your body will definitely recover if you can take this treatment once every three days.

628
00:38:21,930 --> 00:38:24,350
Sir, the treatment is complete.

629
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:34,770
It's a congenital disease.

630
00:38:34,770 --> 00:38:36,730
I'm afraid such treatments are useless.

631
00:38:36,730 --> 00:38:38,330
The Flower of Longing,
which was a fragile plant,

632
00:38:38,330 --> 00:38:40,480
(could still survive
even when I brought it to the capital.)

633
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,840
[Lingxiang Pleasure House]
(Sir, you'll definitely be fine.)

634
00:38:51,710 --> 00:38:53,210
Sir,

635
00:38:54,100 --> 00:38:56,300
the Flower of Longing is sprouting.

636
00:39:02,580 --> 00:39:05,640
The Flower of Longing comes from Jingnan.
It fears the cold.

637
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:06,830
I couldn't make it sprout no matter how I planted it.

638
00:39:06,830 --> 00:39:08,810
I couldn't make it sprout no matter how I planted it.

639
00:39:10,350 --> 00:39:13,780
Linlang, you're much more adept at it than me.

640
00:39:14,540 --> 00:39:16,140
Sir,

641
00:39:16,670 --> 00:39:18,450
Princess Anning is here again.

642
00:39:18,450 --> 00:39:21,170
She's drinking in the room downstairs.

643
00:40:03,930 --> 00:40:05,830
Excellent dance.

644
00:40:10,730 --> 00:40:12,270
You look quite pretty. You're quite the beauty.

645
00:40:12,270 --> 00:40:14,160
You look quite pretty. You're quite the beauty.

646
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,730
What's your name?

647
00:40:15,730 --> 00:40:17,520
My name is Wanyi.

648
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,320
Wanyi?

649
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,450
Excellent name.

650
00:40:23,020 --> 00:40:24,680
You look pretty too.

651
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,930
What's your name?

652
00:40:25,930 --> 00:40:28,020
My name is Zhiluo.

653
00:40:28,910 --> 00:40:30,200
I'm Lengbei.

654
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,260
Ma'am, you've drunk too much.

655
00:40:32,730 --> 00:40:35,130
Who said you could stand so close to me?

656
00:40:36,250 --> 00:40:37,950
All of you may leave.

657
00:40:46,450 --> 00:40:48,050
General.

658
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,700
Official Luo.

659
00:41:07,730 --> 00:41:10,770
One can rarely engage Linlang and her services
even if they're wealthy.

660
00:41:10,770 --> 00:41:12,330
Official Luo,

661
00:41:12,330 --> 00:41:14,830
you're really lucky.

662
00:41:25,730 --> 00:41:27,630
Is this

663
00:41:28,630 --> 00:41:30,530
"Withering Plum Blossom"?

664
00:41:31,890 --> 00:41:34,230
General, do you still remember this song?

665
00:41:36,020 --> 00:41:38,120
Naturally.

666
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,180
Ziyuan learned guqin together with me
when we were young.

667
00:41:41,180 --> 00:41:43,750
However, she loved martial arts.

668
00:41:43,750 --> 00:41:45,640
She couldn't master the guqin
even after learning it for several months.

669
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,610
In the end, she only managed to learn this song

670
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,360
under the Crown Prince's guidance.

671
00:41:54,550 --> 00:41:56,550
I heard

672
00:41:56,550 --> 00:42:00,870
that fresh flowers do not grow on Dai Mountain.

673
00:42:00,870 --> 00:42:02,540
There are merely birds chirping during summer and fall.

674
00:42:02,540 --> 00:42:04,690
There are merely birds chirping during summer and fall.

675
00:42:04,690 --> 00:42:08,630
It's a desolate place where nothing thrives.

676
00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:13,080
She's lived there alone for ten years.

677
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,730
We parted ways for ten years.

678
00:42:20,730 --> 00:42:22,800
Actually, I miss her too.

679
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,970
She'll return to the capital soon.

680
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,620
Aren't you curious about what she looks like after ten years?

681
00:42:37,620 --> 00:42:40,680
Aren't you curious about what she looks like after ten years?

685
00:43:12,140 --> 00:43:19,100
<i>♫ I give up on my light and
hide it under a bushel ♫</i>

686
00:43:20,300 --> 00:43:23,360
<i>♫ You're the moon in my heart ♫</i>

687
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:28,060
<i>♫ I can't dream to own you ♫</i>

688
00:43:28,060 --> 00:43:34,820
<i>♫ But I'm willing to forsake my life for you ♫</i>

689
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,360
<i>♫ I'd go the distance for you ♫</i>

690
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,160
<i>♫ May the light stay with you ♫</i>

691
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,300
<i>♫ Romance aside ♫</i>

692
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:51,340
<i>♫ I fight for your destiny alongside you ♫</i>

693
00:43:51,340 --> 00:43:54,920
<i>♫ You're my dream from the bygone youth ♫</i>

694
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:59,200
<i>♫ Arriving at the end of my life ♫</i>

695
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,760
<i>♫ I bear no regrets.
But when we reunite in our next life ♫</i>

696
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:07,500
<i>♫ Will you still remember me? ♫</i>

697
00:44:22,700 --> 00:44:25,920
<i>♫ I've concealed my yearning for you ♫</i>

698
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:30,640
<i>♫ And guarded your smile ♫</i>

699
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:38,280
<i>♫ Please don't leave me in oblivion
when we part ways ♫</i>

700
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,900
<i>♫ I'd go the distance for you ♫</i>

701
00:44:41,900 --> 00:44:45,980
<i>♫ May the light stay with you ♫</i>

702
00:44:45,980 --> 00:44:48,060
<i>♫ Romance aside ♫</i>

703
00:44:48,060 --> 00:44:54,060
<i>♫ I fight for your destiny alongside you ♫</i>

704
00:44:54,060 --> 00:44:57,600
<i>♫ You're my dream from the bygone youth ♫</i>

705
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,920
<i>♫ Arriving at the end of my life ♫</i>

706
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,440
<i>♫ I bear no regrets.
But when we reunite in our next life ♫</i>

707
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:14,860
<i>♫ Will you still remember me? ♫</i>
