[The Legend of Rosy Clouds]

[Episode 28]

You really are here.

They all said they couldn't find you,

but I still found you.

How did you know I was here?

I...

I guessed.

Don't worry.

I just heard

you haven't been eating much.

I brought you some food.

I'll leave as soon as you finish.

I have no appetite.

Still being stubborn.

No matter what happens,

eating is the most important thing.

What if you starve yourself?

Just eat a little.

Why is it pork trotter noodles?

Yeah.

I...

made it specially for you.

How is it?

After having a few bites of noodles,

do you feel any better?

I don't feel bad at all.

I just quelled a rebellion
in the residence.

This is a time to rejoice.

Although

I understand the principle
that a teacher for a day

is a mentor for life

and also know

Lord Zheng once

dedicated his life to the Nine Cities,

for so long,

he had opposed you at every turn

and constantly made things
difficult for you.

So, I might not be able

to fully empathize with

how you are feeling right now.

Fan Yun.

Is the path to becoming the governor

always so lonely and bumpy?

However,

whether as your opponent

or as your teacher,

Lord Zheng

was a man worthy of respect.

You said

when your second brother left,

it left a wound

in your heart.

I think right now,

you must feel the same way.

But, Your Excellency,

I still want to tell you

what's in the past

will eventually pass.

Cry

if you want to.

Have a good cry.

Because coming up next,

there are more important things

waiting for you to do.

I won't look.

Cry if you want to.

I will be right here behind you.

These noodles are really good.

[Duanyun Gate]

So,

how did you notice something was wrong?

It was the eunuch who brought me out.

At first,

I just thought he looked unfamiliar.

Then,

I noticed his sleeves
were a bit too short.

Those obviously weren't his clothes.

Anyway,

thank you.

By the way,

do you think

we should tell Second Young Master Zheng

the news of Elder Zheng's death?

Zheng Yuan's rebellion happened suddenly.

It hasn't been fully investigated yet.

It's not a good time to visit him now.

But Zheng Shi...

You want to say

Zheng Shi is not that kind of person?

But what you need to do now

is go back and get a good sleep.

We can talk about everything else
after you wake up.

The carriage is already prepared for you.

Thank you.

Hurry back.

Okay.

Then you should get some rest too.

Gao Ran.

Did you

already know about it?

Just a little earlier than you did.

When His Excellency told me

that Lord Fan Qi was in the Dark Wolves,

I was also very surprised.

Really?

I just didn't expect

that Dad

would have such incredible abilities.

A true master hides in plain sight.

We underestimated Lord Fan Qi before.

I used to think

Dad was unathletic and ignorant.

Turns out I was completely wrong.

However,

I still don't understand why Dad

kept it a secret from us.

Because he is a secret guard
of the Qi family,

he naturally couldn't reveal his identity

casually to others.

Especially to those close to him.

The less we know,

the safer we are.

Lord Fan Qi

has always been using this method

to protect us.

It seems Dad

also have many difficulties and hardships.

From now on,

we should treat him even better.

-Again.
-Again.

Your Excellency, I implore you

to leave Zheng Yuan's body intact!

Your Excellency, I implore you

to let me

take away Zheng Yuan's body.

Your Excellency, I implore you

to leave Zheng Yuan's body intact.

Your Excellency, as long as you

agree to my request,

I am willing

to resign and return to my hometown

to calm the people's

dissatisfaction.

I also request

to retire.

Lord Lyu, Lord Zhao,

is this

what trusted ministers should say?

Please, Your Excellency,

preserve the body of Lord Zheng Yuan.

I respect you both as my elders,

but you shouldn't take advantage
of my youth to bully me.

Zheng Yuan's crime of treason is a fact.

You can't plead for him

just because you are good friends.

Besides,

it was Lord Lyu who taught me
that the law shows no mercy.

Your Excellency,

how would we

dare to look down on you?

Your Excellency, think about it.

Zheng had a large army

in Jing City.

If he had intended to rebel,

how could he have trespassed
into the Qi Residence with just a few men,

been easily captured,

-and lost his life?
-Zhao.

Your Excellency.

Your Excellency.

Zhao.

Stop talking.

He injured the official
administering the selection exam

and almost killed me.

No matter the reason,

it is treason.

I beg you, Your Excellency,

to see clearly.

Elder Zheng was an important minister
for 3 generations

and an elder of the Nine Cities.

Considering he dedicated
half his life to the Nine Cities,

I grant a special pardon
and order him to be cremated.

His family is pardoned from implication.

-Thank you, Your Excellency.
-Thank you, Your Excellency!

Tell me,

how can a perfectly fine person,

in the blink of an eye,

just be cremated

and turn into ashes?

People

will always

return to the earth in the end.

This Zheng...

Why were you so stubborn?

How could you do such a thing?

How could you commit treason?

You were sharp all your life,

yet stumbled this once.

Let it go.

Zheng

was definitely not a foolish person.

He followed the late governor

and fought everywhere in his early years.

He was already

riddled with hidden injuries
and physically drained.

Even if his body was failing,

he wouldn't resort to this

for a final struggle.

Furthermore,

since His Excellency

took over the administration,

he has been doing better and better.

And he has also seen

the efforts of the young people
in the Nine Cities.

I can't speak as you do.

I only know Zheng was smarter than me.

And you are too.

My grandson, Shi,

you started speaking at 3,

reciting poetry at 5,

and practicing sword at 7.

Your only flaw is being tone-deaf,

with nothing else to criticize.

I have spent my life in the military,

conquering the world for the Nine Cities.

I experienced war and struggles
for succession,

yet always bearing
too many responsibilities.

Therefore,

I always thought

that you were capable of inheriting

the great responsibility
of the Zheng family as my grandson.

But I forgot

that you have your own life.

My grandson, Shi,

just go and live

the free life you want.

As for those responsibilities,

let me alone

shoulder them.

♪ Let go of what's before me ♪

♪ Consider this the best ending ♪

♪ I disdain everything
in the vast universe ♪

♪ So why do I care for
a single glance from you? ♪

I'm sorry, Shi.

♪ Drinking a pot of the past ♪

If your back still hurts,

♪ I toast to my withering self
as the curtains fall ♪

it means I miss you.

♪ And you don't know the reason why ♪

♪ And you don't know the reason why ♪

Second Young Master Zheng.

Where are you

right now?

Second Young Master Zheng.

Are you alright?

[All Worthies Gather Here]

Young Master Shi, it's late.

We should set off.

Young Master Shi!

Please calm down.

Don't force my hand.

Tell me everything you know.

Master only ordered

to send you as far away as possible.

Grandfather is no longer with us.

From now on, I am in charge
of the Zheng family.

Set off back to Ling'an.

Young Master Shi,

you read Master's letter too.

By sending you away at this time,

he hoped you

can stay away from Ling'an
and the Zheng family from now on,

living a quiet life.

Why must you go against his wishes?

I must accomplish

what I decide to do.

[Taiji Palace]

Zheng Yuan's treason

happened so suddenly.

Everyone is shocked and confused.

Many commoners and officials
are involved in it.

Today,

in front of all my beloved ministers,

I will personally interrogate Zheng Yi

and give everyone an explanation.

Summon the criminal Zheng Yi to the hall.

Untie him.

Let him step forward and answer.

Your Excellency.

This is inappropriate, isn't it?

When the heart fades, the lamp dies away.

I have my own considerations.

Untie him.

Zheng Yi.

I have already sent Zheng Yuan's ashes

back to the Zheng Residence.

Sent back to the Zheng Residence?

It was because these two lords
risked their lives to plead for him,

so I canceled
the public exposure of the corpse

and replaced it with cremation.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

Get up first.

I have a few questions to ask clearly.

Why hasn't Zheng Shi shown up yet?

Before the incident,

Young Master Shi was forcibly
escorted away by Master.

He knows nothing about this matter.

Good.

You really cleared
Zheng Shi's name completely.

Your Excellency,

you know Young Master Shi's temperament.

If he had known about this matter,

he surely wouldn't have

just hidden away.

Master and Young Master Shi
have a deep bond.

Regarding this matter,

he wouldn't let Young Master Shi
be involved in it.

Please investigate clearly,
Your Excellency.

Regarding the treason,

besides you and Zheng Yuan,

who else knew about it?

Treason

was just my and Master's idea.

This matter is of great importance!

Think clearly before answering!

Only dozens of Zheng's Army soldiers
entered the residence that night,

and they were all stationed
in Ling'an year-round

to protect the Zheng family.

Not a single soldier
was dispatched from Jing City.

I know

I have no right to plead for mercy.

But Your Excellency,

if you still have a trace of affection
for Master,

you should know

that he was definitely
not the kind of person...

who would commit treason and usurp power.

Your Excellency!

-Elder Zheng.
-Your Excellency.

Since the implementation
of the national selection exam,

the nobles have been restless.

They have obstructed it several times,

shaking the foundation.

Among them,

the Zheng family in Jing City

has made the most frequent moves,

even hiring people

to snatch the sweet wormwood
and ruin the selection exam.

Then why are you
putting on this show of treason,

Elder Zheng?

There's an undercurrent
in the current situation.

I'm afraid the Zheng family

already has the intention of treason.

The Zheng family in Jing City

has a strong military.

Once they rebel,

there will be countless casualties,

and the people will suffer.

So,

I struck first today

just to remind you, Your Excellency.

Although

the chance of success is slim,

the Nine Cities'

strong leadership and mighty forces

are clear to all,

enough to deter Jing City.

I only beg you, Your Excellency,

to pardon

the innocent descendants
of the Zheng family in Jing City.

So you acted before the Zheng family

to save the people of Jing City

from the disaster of war

and to disrupt their plans?

Exactly.

Elder Zheng,

why did you have to do this?

We could have taken
our time to discuss this.

It's too late!

One step earlier,

and you gain the upper hand.

One step later,

and you lose everything.

You.

You forgot again.

Have you forgotten

what I taught you

when you were a child?

I am old.

I am now

a candle in the wind,

flickering.

I hope this remaining glimmer of light

can illuminate

your path

ahead, Your Excellency.

Then I

die with no regrets.

I don't agree.

I can agree to anything

you say, Elder Zheng,

But I will never

agree to this.

Then I will teach you one more time!

Elder Zheng!

-Your Excellency!
-Zheng!

-Zheng!
-Zheng!

Elder Zheng!

Your Excellency!

This is...

Zheng!

Since that is the case,

regarding the Zheng family,

I will absolutely not implicate
any innocent people,

nor will I let any bad apples go.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

You are wise, Your Excellency!

-You are wise, Your Excellency!
-You are wise, Your Excellency!

His Excellency is generous and merciful,

sparing you from the death penalty.

I can only repay His Excellency's

great kindness in my next life.

In this life,

I will follow Master.

I, Zheng Yi,

having met Master in this life,

have found my roots.

I hope His Excellency

can understand Master's
lonely and resolute heart.

Master is already on the other side.

I can't let him wait too long.

Your Excellency?

Your Excellency.

Why didn't you let me know

you were coming here?

Lord Fan Qi brought me in.

You went out?

Yes.

I went out to buy some ingredients.

I'm going

to make some buns
for Dad and Gao Ran tonight.

You should stay too.

I won't stay to eat.

I just wanted to see you,
and then I'll go back.

What's wrong?

You look so down.

I'm fine.

No.

If it had been in the past,

you would have been thrilled.

You would have insisted on staying

to eat buns with us.

Why aren't you staying today?

Two buns

for the truth.

What exactly happened?

Three, and they're meat buns.

Zheng Yi is dead.

Sorry.

I should get back.

Qi Zheng.

I told him that day

that everyone dies eventually,

and that the only thing that matters
is dying for a worthy cause.

Now it seems

he thought so too.

So you really

don't need to blame yourself too much.

Actually,

whether it's Zheng Yuan or Zheng Yi,

they are the same as us.

They were all doing
what they truly believed in.

Winning or losing,

they were prepared for

the worst

and willingly accepted

any outcome.

Don't you think?

What are you going to treat me to tonight?

Delicious buns, of course.

But you have to stay

and make them with me.

Grandfather.

Grandfather.

A document has been sent from Ling'an.

Read it.

By order of the Governor,

Master Zheng Yuan
led troops into the residence,

committed insubordination,
coerced the Governor,

and harmed colleagues.
His crimes are unpardonable.

He has now committed suicide
to escape punishment.

Zheng Yuan is stripped of
his honorable title

and shall be cremated.

However, upon investigation,

the rest of the Zheng family

has no connection to the rebellion.

Therefore, no further action
will be taken.

Zheng Tao is specially
permitted to enter Ling'an

to bring Zheng Yuan's ashes
back to Jing City,

so he may return to his roots.

So

the rebellion
is just brushed off like this?

It seems the rumors are true.

Qi Zheng is indeed a loser.

I'm afraid

it's a stalling tactic.

Eldest Brother's treason
was already a huge taboo.

Not only did His Excellency
not punish Jing City,

but he also cremated him
and returned his ashes.

This is a favor to Jing City.

Showing favor instead of punishing

is indeed a bit strange.

Grandfather, do you mean

that this is a trap?

Grandfather.

Why don't we find an excuse

and just not go?

It is His Excellency's order.

I have no reason not to go.

My eldest brother's ashes

must also be brought back to Jing City.

If I don't go,

not only will I fail
to account for this to Jing City,

but the other cities
will also make a joke out of us.

I must go

this time.

By the way, Grandfather,

the Gate Commander Residence

also received His Excellency's order,

saying Liu Mu should go...

to take up his post in Ling'an.

Now,

I'm afraid we can't hide it anymore.

That's perfect.

Let the news of Liu Mu's death

stir up the recently calmed Ling'an again.

Our Jing City has a strong army.

We don't fear schemes and tricks.

As the saying goes,
absolute power overcomes all tricks.

At worst, we'll fight him
to the bitter end.

You're right.

This might be an opportunity.

[Zheng Tao,
Second Master of the Zheng family]

So for this trip,

not only must I go,

but I must also beat gongs and drums

and go with great fanfare.

I will accept the favor

from that boy Qi Zheng.

The position of Jing City's gate commander

must absolutely
not fall into others' hands.

This time,

Xian,

you will accompany me to Ling'an.

Jin, you will guard Jing City.

Yes.

But with Zheng Yuan passing away,

the position of the Zheng family's master
falls vacant.

This Jing City must not fall into chaos.

Succession to the position
across the Nine Noble Families

has always fallen
to the younger generation.

Now that my eldest brother is dead,

it can only fall to your generation.

A storm is coming.

It's a good time for me to see

who is truly capable of bearing
the responsibility of the Zheng family.
