♫ I spur my horse, a whip in hand, to claim the land ♫

♫ Little did I know, my boldness couldn’t
overcome the sorrow of parting ♫

♫ I shed my armor and wear the brocade ♫

♫ The man in the yellow light sighs alone ♫

♫ But no grand ambition can fill this lonely night ♫

♫ With all my courage, I'd hold a paper umbrella high ♫

♫ To shield you from every storm in the sky ♫

♫ On the lakeside of the mortal world ♫

♫ I look back, a thousand ships have sailed by ♫

♫ We drank to our joys and griefs in the endless sand ♫

♫ But let slip the perfect life we had planned ♫

♫ I owe you a lifetime I cannot repay ♫

♫ Only in the next life can this debt be paid ♫

♫ We drank to our joys and griefs in the desert vast ♫

♫ But in love and hate, we stumbled till the last ♫

♫ Though I might walk through history's proud song ♫

♫ My heart still falters where love belongs ♫

♫ I’d have no regrets at all,
if only you had asked me to stay ♫

Braveness of the Ming

Episode 48

Ji Gang, Ji Gang.

I have retreated again and again,
yet you press forward step by step.

You are truly going too far.

Zuo Dan.

Here.

You've been traveling day and night
these past few days.

You must be utterly exhausted.

Rest well tonight.

We'll set off back to Jinling
early tomorrow morning.

But I...

Listen to me.

There will be another fierce battle ahead.

Yes, my lord.

You... how did you get here?

Don't be afraid.

I was worried about you, so I came to see you.

But...

But you coming here at this time

could easily give people a handle
to criticize you.

Xie, why have you lost weight?

Ji, don't worry about me. I'm really fine.

You make me worried.

Don't just barge in here.
You'd implicated.

I'm not afraid of that.

Your matters are my matters.

If I don't see you, I can't feel at ease.

You've seen me now, so rest assured.

Before anyone discovers you,

you should leave quickly, go.

Don't worry.

I will definitely help you clear your name.

Alright, I'll go now.

Take good care of yourself.

If you need anything,

just send someone to tell me.

I'll bring it to you immediately.

Hurry and go.

No matter what others say about you

or how they see you,

I will always believe in you.

you are in such high spirits.

It seems house arrest suits you quite well.

After a few days under house arrest,

you even lost your fierceness.

Whom you wish to see is not here.

Why bother wasting your idle time

to bicker with me?

It's you I'm looking for!

The Princess came looking for me?

Could it be to persuade me to take the blame?

It seems you've thought of this method, too.

Since that's the case, I won't waste my breath.

When will you confess?

I've thought about it.

I won't confess.

Why?

You must know

even if this case has nothing to do
with Bulwark Duke,

on Xia Xun's official career

it will already be a stain.

His reputation is tarnished,
his good name is no more.

He will no longer enjoy the Emperor's trust.

I know.

Although you oppose me at every turn,

I thought that in such times,

you would stand united with me.

Moreover, a wife's duty is to her husband.

This crisis could be resolved
by your sacrifice alone,

allowing him to pass through safely

and secure his future prospects
for the rest of his life.

Why won't you do it?

If it were truly for Xia Xun's good,

I must not confess to this crime even more.

If I admit to this baseless accusation,

everyone in the court and the common people

will surely point fingers at Xia Xun.

How do you expect him to face that?

No one cares about the truth you speak of.

In the end,

you are simply unwilling
to sacrifice yourself for Xia Xun.

I thought you loved him deeply,

but it seems it was just empty words.

Or perhaps, to protect yourself,

you've cast aside marital devotion,

disregarding his life and official career.

Princess,

how much can you understand
about marital devotion?

Husband and wife face difficulties together,

not act recklessly.

You should change this
hypocritical habit of yours.

Such high-sounding reasons

might fool a child,

but to me, they are utterly laughable.

It seems I overestimated you.

Today, if it were me,

as long as it could save Xia Xun,

I would certainly rush forward
without regard for myself.

And you?

Despite Xia Xun's deep affection for you,

I truly wish he could see

your true, cowardly face.

Princess, is that all?

If you're finished, please leave.

I am somewhat tired,
forgive me for not seeing you out.

Think carefully on your own.

Do not needlessly implicate others.

My Lord, there is news.

Speak.

Within three days,
Bulwark Duke will arrive in Jinling.

Faster than I imagined.

Tell the Second Prince,
the big fish is about to enter the net.

Yes.

How can our Madam remain so composed?

It's been so many days now.

She doesn't step out of the inner courtyard,

acting as if nothing is wrong.

Our Madam's background is not ordinary.

She has been tempered through countless trials.

What do you mean?

Come, gather around.

- What? What?
- What on earth does it mean?

Hurry up and tell us.

Let me tell you guys.

You must not tell anyone else.

It's fine, no one will come here.

Hurry up and say it.

I heard that before the Duchess
married Bulwark Duke,

she had been wandering the martial world.

The martial world is a mixed bag,
with all kinds of people.

Could the Duchess avoid picking up
some of its rough habits?

I also heard that

the Duchess not only accepts
bribes and behaves improperly,

but is also a jealous woman.

Do you want to die?
How can you say that about the Duchess?

It's fine, the Duchess isn't here.

Really? What other rumors are there?

Why not tell me all of them?

Duchess, spare our lives! We were wrong.

Dismissed.

Yes.

I never expected

that I, Xie Yufei, have now become

a jealous woman mocked by everyone.

One wrong step leads to many wrong steps.

I only hope my wife

will always be carefree.

Higher, higher!

Too heavy, I can't push anymore.

What did you say? Dare you say that again?

Get ready, now higher!

Alright, alright, take it easy.

Alright.

Xia Xun,

if my life

could buy you a lifetime of peace,
it would be worth it.

- Bulwark Duke.
- Lord Xu.

Do you know why I'm waiting here?

You'd better not be here to stop me.

Bulwark Duke, may I have a word?

If she lives, I live. If she dies, I die.

Bulwark Duke, the evidence is now conclusive.

If you act rashly now,
you'll only bring trouble upon yourself.

She is my wife.

How can I let her be framed by others

and suffer all this bullying?

The Duchess did indeed accept bribes
and sell official positions.

Impossible.

But as long as the Emperor
believes she did, that's enough.

What do you mean by that?

Perhaps what His Majesty cares about
is not the truth at all,

but your attitude, Bulwark Duke.

Xia! Mr. Xia!

Come with me, hurry!

Xie has gone to the palace!

Hurry!

Listen up, all of you!

Strike

swiftly,

mercilessly,

and accurately.

We absolutely cannot give the enemy

even the slightest chance to catch their breath.

Is that clear?

Yes!

Ready.

Go.

My lord,

Miss Xie Yufei has gone to the palace alone.

She went alone?

Xie, I'll have to ask you
to endure this for now.

I will make it up to you doubly later.

- Your son pays respects to Mother Empress.
- Mother Empress.

What am I to do with you all?

None of you is easy to deal with.

Can't you let your Imperial Father
worry a little less?

Mother Empress, I am also acting
on Imperial Father's orders

to investigate the matter of Bulwark Duke
accepting bribes and selling official positions.

Naturally, I must report every detail.

I know clearly

what schemes you have in mind.

The two of you,

one impeaching Xia Xun,
the other shielding Xia Xun.

You have been arguing so much
you've given your Imperial Father a headache.

But Imperial Father cannot refuse to see us.

It's best he doesn't see you.
You should quiet down for a few days.

Be careful with your words.

Duchess Fu, Xie Yufei, requests an audience.

What more do you have to say?

This guilty woman

dares not shirk the responsibility
for the crimes I committed.

All faults are due to me

and have no relation to Bulwark Duke.

Did Bulwark Duke mistreat you in some way,

leading you to commit insubordination?

Everything is subject to the Emperor's judgment.

Since that is the case,
the evidence is conclusive

and you have confessed to it
ithout reservation.

I beg Your Majesty for mercy.

How dare you!

Bulwark Duke.

We,

considering your loyalty,
will not fault you for the crime of barging in.

But the guilty woman Xie Yufei
has already confessed.

Do you still intend to show favoritism
and shield her?

Your subject dares not.

It is just that everything
has its cause and effect.

I hope Your Majesty will grant me a little time

to investigate the truth

and clear the name of my beloved wife.

Are you implying that We have wronged her?

Your Majesty has not wronged this guilty woman.

Everything stemmed from my greed for wealth

and truly has nothing to do with Bulwark Duke.

You heard her. We did not force her.

Your Majesty...

As a merchant,
I understand the merchant's heart.

I leverage what others think
to do what others dare not.

I don't believe you would do this.

I grew up

in a family that had fallen into decline.

Deeply aware of the pain of poverty
and unwilling to fall behind others,

therefore,

I used the identity of the Duchess Fu

to continuously accumulate wealth.

I firmly believe that affection, loyalty,
and people's hearts can all change.

Only by accumulating wealth

can one truly feel at peace.

Xia Xun,

you must take a good look
at the person beside you.

These words all came from her own mouth.

No one forced her, and no one taught her.

Now you should believe it, right?

Is all of this true?

Of course, every word is true.

How would I dare to deceive Your Majesty?

I don't believe it.

Did someone say something to you?

I have betrayed your faith.

I shouldn't have hidden these things from you.

Your Majesty,

I failed to properly instruct my wife.
I willingly accept punishment.

Xia Xun,

you are still pleading for her?

Do you know

she deserves a death sentence
for selling positions?

Your Majesty,

all of this has nothing to do
with the Bulwark Duke.

I will bear the responsibility alone.

Xie Yufei, listen to me carefully.

You are my wife, which means you are my person.

If I cannot even discipline my own person,

wouldn't I be ridiculed by everyone?

Your Majesty,

all of this originated from me.

It is me

who failed to care for and look after her more,

leading to this situation.

If Your Majesty wishes to punish,
then punish me.

Coming from a humble background,

it's inevitable to have some sneaky,
thieving bad habits.

I'm afraid

she doesn't even know
how to write the words 'wifely virtue.'

What a pity, implicating the Bulwark Duke.

Second Prince, you are correct.

Your Majesty, I will accept punishment
on her behalf.

Your Majesty, please see clearly.
This crime should be borne by me alone.

Father,

the intent of punishments was to deter all sides

and make people dare not commit heinous acts.

Now, the Bulwark Duke and his wife
know they were wrong.

I believe they will not repeat their mistakes.

I hope Father will show leniency.

Your Majesty, one should spare others
when possible. Let it go.

Alright.

Fine.

Punish the Bulwark Duke

with a six-months' salary deduction.

Then send someone to instruct the Duchess Fu

in rites, teachings, and moral principles.

Besides...

If you offend again, you will not be spared.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Father.

Enough.

This matter shall not be mentioned again.

Xia Xun, I'm sorry I deceived you.

But as long as you are safe,
that's all that matters.

I want to ask you,

why did you plead for that Xie Yufei?

I think she is a good girl.

She just took the wrong path
and fell into someone's trap.

She knows her mistake and admits her guilt.

Besides,

I am not unaware of Your Majesty's heart,

that you do not wish to be utterly ruthless.

It's better to do a favor and let them reflect.

This Xie Yufei shows a lack of
understanding of womanly virtues,

a disregard for the Three Bonds
and Five Constants,

which truly makes it hard to feel at ease.

It seems Xia Xun was unaware this time,

which is why he was so heartbroken.

Since ancient times, women have regarded
their husbands as their heaven.

This Xie Yufei, however,
is unwilling to be subservient,

always stepping forward.

I fear for Bulwark Duke,

having such a wife brings not a single benefit.

To secure the outside,
one must first pacify the inside.

It seems what Your Majesty thinks
is similar to what I think.

I was merely following your lead.

I believe

Ming'er is deeply devoted and loyal to Xia Xun.

If it were Ming'er,

such a thing would never have happened.

Ming'er is good, she is good,

but I'm afraid it's a case of unrequited love.

Where sincerity reaches,
even metal and stone can be split.

Look at you.

Thanks to you,

we've created a rift between them,
and further complications have arisen.

Now,

getting them to reconcile is impossible.

Next time you do something, tell me first.

At first, I was truly terrified.

I thought something was
going to happen to Xia Xun.

Princess, rest assured.

I did this only for our common goal.

Besides, Xia Xun holds great power,
and deeply enjoys the Emperor's favor.

How could the Emperor

punish him for such a minor matter?

You are still formidable.
This way, Xia Xun is fine,

but Xie Yufei has become

a shameless, greedy woman in his heart.

Likewise.

I believe it won't be long

before we achieve our wish.

Now their relationship is as thin as ice,

a light tap will shatter it completely.

They have no communication now.

How can they possibly go on living like this?

Why not part ways early
and each get what they deserve?

Add more fuel to the fire,
and the timing will be just about right.

Come, Princess.

What a coincidence, Bulwark Duke!

There are truly many coincidences in this world.

Heaven sees what people do.

You have committed so many heinous deeds.

I don't know, Ji,

if you can still sleep peacefully at night.

Regarding the flood disaster,

you embezzled and perverted justice,
causing innocent people to die unjustly.

Do you think that by silencing witnesses,

you can cover up your crimes,

without anyone knowing?

Everything Bulwark Duke has said,

I don't understand any of it.

Brother,

turn back.

Bulwark Duke,

those who walk different paths
cannot work together.

You and I are no longer on the same path.

You handle matters with your kindness,
and I won't interfere.

I do things my way.
I ask you not to step back.

For so long,

you have always stood in my way.

I was constantly restrained by you.

Now it's good.

You and I go our separate ways.

Why must you meddle again?

You are my sworn brother.

If you do something wrong,
I must intervene.

What makes you think

that what you do is always right?

But at the very least,

I can face my own conscience.

How future generations will judge us
hundreds of years from now,

none of us knows.

Perhaps only then will the truth be revealed.

Moreover, for so long,

I have grown tired of listening to your orders,

and weary of your sanctimonious facade
of saving the world.

Now, wealth and power are within my grasp.

You halt your progress due to your kindness,

but I will not.

I will continue down this path.

Let's wait and see

who, in the end,

will be the winner.

By the way,

this is something Xie left behind last time.

Please pass it to her.

Also, Xie seems to hate

putting her hands under the covers
when sleeping.

That's not good. It's easy to catch a cold.

Ji Gang!

From today onward,

our bond is severed.

Fine.

Sister, you must not blame Xia Xun.

I did all of this willingly.

When emotions run deep,
one cannot control oneself, which is why...

I know your feelings.

But since the rice is already cooked,

we can only quickly arrange your marriage.

We cannot let you suffer any grievances.

Alright, alright, stop crying now.

You're so grown up,
yet you're always crying and sobbing.

People will laugh at you, do you know that?

I knew you are the best to me.

Alright.

By the decree of Her Majesty the Empress.

Bulwark Duke is gentle, kind,
and exceptionally talented.

Now that the Princess has matured,
it is the appropriate time for marriage.

She should be matched with a virtuous person.

The two of them are a match made in heaven.

To fulfill this beautiful union,

We hereby betroth the Princess to Bulwark Duke.

Choose an auspicious date
to complete the marriage.

So it is decreed.

Bulwark Duke, accept the decree and give thanks.

Bulwark Duke?

Bulwark Duke, do you defy the imperial decree?

Master!

Xia Xun!

Master!

- Are you alright, Master?
- Xia Xun, what's wrong?

- Xia Xun!
- Master, don't scare us like this!

Master!

Master!

Master, wake up, Master! My lord!

As you can see the situation,

Bulwark Duke suddenly fainted.

Today's decree, Master...

I'm afraid he cannot accept it, Master.

My lord.

Please report this matter to the Empress.

That seems to be the only way.

Let's go.

Earlier, I received news from the palace

saying that the Empress would
issue an edict for marriage tomorrow.

I'm afraid this time...

You always call me sister.

You've faced difficulties repeatedly,
yet I haven't been able to help.

Peng, what are you saying?

If it weren't for you, Sister,

I could never have come this far.

Before, I clearly saw with you

the person who set up the trap
with the night pearl.

Not only could I not stop you,

I also had no way to testify for you,

causing you to bear all this blame.

If I were to implicate both of you as well,

I truly wouldn't be able to live with myself.

In a couple of days, I'll accompany Ziqi back
to Qingzhou for the funeral.

Regarding the marriage edict,
what are your plans?

Peng, please accept my condolences
and take care.

It's alright.

I heard from Father

that Great-grandfather didn't suffer
when he passed.

He left in his sleep.

Sometimes, death is just a moment's affair.

But for those left alive,
the pain is a hundredfold.

Xie, inside this

are the pills I prepared for Xia Xun.

They can make a person unconscious
for three days and three nights.

Even if Hua Tuo were reborn,
it would be hard to find the cause.

But don't delay too long.
It's not the best strategy.

You two must also be careful in everything.

What could happen to us?

It's your Bulwark Duke's residence

that has been quite unsettled lately.

Be cautious in all matters.

Are you and Xia doing alright?

What could happen to us two?

Don't worry about us.

You should love and trust
each other without doubt.

I'll see you two off here.

Xie, you must take good care of yourself.

You should head back quickly.

Don't worry, we can take care of ourselves.

Lord Ji, the scouts report

that Ximen Jing and
the others have already set off.

The old patriarch of
the Peng family has passed away,

and all the heroes of the martial world
will be present.

Have Chen Yunan follow them secretly.

If anything seems amiss, report it immediately.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Mu En.

How is Bulwark Duke? Still not awake?

Your Majesty,

we have sent the best imperial physicians.

But they still have no way to wake Bulwark Duke.

The physicians are trying to find a solution.

What is the cause of the illness?

It is still unknown.

Send a few more skilled physicians.

If that doesn't work, offer a heavy reward
among the common people.

Xia Xun has been asleep
for quite a few days now.

Have people keep watch ove
Bulwark Duke at all times.

Report immediately once he awakens.

Yes.

Come, come. Ximen, have a drink!

Don't be polite, drink, drink!

Alright, brothers, cheers!

You know, our little sister

brought back a scholar for our Peng family.

From now on, our Peng family
can be considered a scholarly household.

Yes, ever since Ximen arrived,

our residence has truly been honored.

Come, let me and my brother toast you again.

Come, bottoms up, bottoms up! Good!

Brothers, he can't drink anymore.

He's not like us martial artists.

He can't hold his liquor well,
don't make him drink.

It's fine. A man must know how to drink.

He's only had a little, not much.

Entering our Peng Manor,
such low tolerance won't do.

Come on, bottoms up.

Wait a moment.

I'll drink for him. Is that okay?

How can I let my wife drink for me?

No, no, let go.

Well said! That's more like a real man!

I'll drink it myself. Please let go of that.

He's already down.

This kid can't hold his liquor.

Little sister,
you really need to discipline him.

If I stay at the Peng Manor any longer,

I'll be joining the old master
in the underworld within three days.

This isn't drinking. It's clearly forcing it down
my throat.

He said he'd teach me martial arts,

but he's clearly trying to abuse me.

Innkeeper, the bill.

Here, your pastries.

Innkeeper.

Maybe next time I pass by,
I'll bring them to you again.

How can you eat without money?

- No...
- How much is it?

I'll pay for him.

Thank you, miss.

Thank you for coming to the rescue.

I wonder if I might be so bold as to ask.

What is your name? I'll remember it in my heart.

My name is Tang Sai'er.

Not worth mentioning. [Tang Sai'er,
Eldest Daughter of Tang's Stockade]

But I overheard you mention Peng Manor just now.

May I ask who you are in relation to Peng Manor?

May I ask who you know at Peng Manor?

I am the daughter of Tang Yaoju\
from Tang's Stockade.

This time, I came with Lin Yuqi

to Peng Manor to pay respects
to the late Master Peng.

What a coincidence!

Truly a great coincidence.

How about I take you to see it?

Ximen Jing.

I say, you're something else.

Taking advantage of the busy affairs in the manor...

- Slipping out to play is one thing.
- Wait!

But you even brought a woman back.

Do you want to die?

It's not like that.

Is this Sister Peng?

Great, you even told her my name, didn't you?

What else did you say about me?

She is, she is...

What about her?

I am the daughter of Tang Yaoju
from Tang's Stockade.

This time, I am following my father's orders

to come and pay respects
to the late Master Peng.

I happened to meet Ximen on the way.

And he brought me back.

So it's from Tang's Stockade.

I apologize for not welcoming you properly.

Just now, letting you see that...

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Do you think I had time to tell you?

You grabbed me as soon as I got back.

Sister Peng, have you always been so forthright?

I've wanted to be like Sister Peng
since I was little.

Alone in the world.

Being as forthright and righteous as you are.

Can I call you sister?

Can you take me around for a tour?

Can I play with you?

Sure, let's go.

Alright.

Madam, please have some tea.

Madam, don't make things difficult for us.

You have quite the nerve, Xiaolin.

You dare to stop me?

The master has ordered that
you must not go out.

But the master is now unconscious.

I need to find a good doctor for him.

No, before falling ill,
the master gave a strict order.

Anyone who let you out will be expelled.

Xia Xun!

Quick, take a look, what's wrong with him?

Yes.

How is he?

Reporting to the Princess,
forgive my incompetence.

I truly do not know what illness the Duke has.

Of course you don't know.

Has he not woken up at all?

Of course he has woken up.

In my dreams.

It must be that
you failed to take care of him.

I will take him back to the palace.

That place is thousands of times better
than this shabby place.

There are imperial physicians
who can take care of him at any time.

There's no need for you
to worry about this, Princess.

My husband, I will naturally
take good care of him.

But sister has already bestowed the marriage.

But Xia Xun did not accept the decree.

And the Princess has not
officially entered the household yet.

I am still here.

Do you think I will let you
take him just like that?

I am now going to wipe my husband's body.

Please, Princess and others, step aside.

I will come every day until Xia Xun wakes up.

She's gone far away.

If she had insisted on taking me away just now,

what would you have done?

As long as you are my husband,

I will guard you and will never let go.

But, you just heard what the Princess said.

As long as you don't wake up,

she will keep coming every day.

The Emperor

has also sent people to inquire several times.

If you don't appear soon,

I'm afraid our residence will not be peaceful.

I know all of this.

It's just the Emperor...

Xia Xun.

Using schemes to escape
is not what you should do.

In any case, it's just a matter
of marrying or not marrying.

Don't worry, I won't make things difficult.

Just follow your heart.

Your subject, Xia Xun,
pays respects to the Emperor.

Rise quickly.

You just recover from a serious illness.
These formalities can be dispensed with.

Your sudden and unexplained fainting

really gave me a fright.

I have caused Your Majesty concern.

I deserve death ten thousand times over.

How are you feeling?

The imperial physicians in the palace
are indeed effective, aren't they?

I have something to say.

Speak.

I am unwilling to marry the Princess.

♫ Evening lanterns glow, frost upon the moon ♫

♫ Candlelight flickers red where only few stars gleam ♫

♫ In her tower she sings, dreaming of home ♫

♫ Through wind and night rain,
her gaze begins to roam ♫

♫ Sorrow under moonlight, endless are the nights ♫

♫ Dreaming of moments lost from sight ♫

♫ A rising sandstorm veils your face from view ♫

♫ Now worlds apart, with no path back to you ♫

♫ Love and hate, awake then gone like sand ♫

♫ Right or wrong, the song ends, but feelings stay ♫

♫ Two worlds apart, too far to see the way ♫

♫ Who knows her silent love, who knows her tears? ♫

♫ Who knows her heart, and whom it truly fears? ♫

♫ Who knows her tender thoughts,
her hidden grief? ♫

♫ A beauty's fleeting dream
for whom does life seem brief? ♫

♫ I'd give my all, through all the joy and pain,
and never complain ♫
