"Adapted from the novel Queen of Chu"
By the writer (Shi Xing) on the Al-Zahir website.

In a previous life

00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,480
The Anping Rebellion broke out 25 days later

6
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,680
On my wedding day next month.

7
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,880
If this wedding had never happened

8
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,000
Will the two princes survive?

9
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,000
And avoid rebellion altogether?

10
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,560
the next.

11
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,400
Sir, I only have some herbs.

12
00:02:09,479 --> 00:02:10,639
Remember the rhythm well.

13
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:11,840
- Just like that.
the next. Quickly.

14
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,000
It's him.

15
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,040
"Jiu Fu."

16
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,400
Why didn't you return to Yunchong?

17
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,360
The general ordered me to accompany your pony.

18
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,520
I will be back as soon as the wedding is over.

19
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,120
Can you take me away from here?

20
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,360
immediately.

21
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,200
I only take orders from the general.

22
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Are you in trouble?

23
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,440
both.

24
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,560
I am staying in a guest house.

25
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:36,440
If you need anything, let me know.

26
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,520
Ma'am, what's wrong with you?

27
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,080
His Highness loves you very much.

28
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,280
His gifts pile up like mountains.

29
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,600
The wedding is only days away.

30
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,760
Why this sudden change?

31
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,240
If you miss the general,
We can always write to him.

32
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,400
I must come back.

33
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,320
I need to see my father.

34
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,040
Xiao Xun's eyes surround me from all sides.

35
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,680
I must find a way out.

36
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,200
I will never allow

37
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,000
That history repeats itself again.

38
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,760
{\an8}"Gaoyang County"

39
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,120
"Yanlai Xie", commonly known as "Jiu Fu"

40
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,360
He is now located in the capital
As one of Ling Chu's followers.

41
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,000
My dear brother is really shrewd

42
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,280
He gained sufficient confidence from the general

43
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,000
To accompany the dowry of his beloved daughter.

44
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,800
What about Ling Chu?

45
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,280
In front of an ancient dynasty whose history extends back centuries
As the Shih clan

46
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,960
He is nothing but a lowly general.

47
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,440
Your older sister is the wife of the Crown Prince
She has a son and heir to the throne.

48
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,080
-And your influence in the royal court...
- Watch your tongue.

49
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,320
"Yanfang Xie, Prime Minister of Chu"

50
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,080
Although my family once included several senior advisors

51
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,080
We remained strangers to the nobility of the capital.

52
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,800
Five years ago, I used poor health as an excuse

53
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,400
I returned to Gaoyang

54
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,400
All this to reassure His Majesty.

55
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,400
And yet

56
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,840
After all this time by my side

57
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,640
You have not yet learned how to guard your tongue.

58
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:18,320
I apologize sir.

59
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Please excuse me.

60
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,080
I'm afraid he's spending too much time with Ling Chu.

61
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,880
His loyalty had been shaken.

62
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:30,920
Five years without a firm grip around someone

63
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,960
It will make even the most obedient people forget themselves.

64
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,040
As soon as he returns

65
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,680
I will tame him and trim his wings.

66
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,760
He will learn his lesson.

67
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:45,240
So my dog

68
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,040
He never bites the hand that feeds him.

69
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,240
As for “Xun Xiao”…

70
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,000
As his wedding date approaches

71
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Maybe we should visit for a drink.

72
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,440
Your Highness

73
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,880
Our spies reported that Yanfang Xie was preparing his carriage

74
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,320
He appears to be preparing to leave.

75
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,400
He retreated to Gaoyang under the pretext of deteriorating health

76
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,000
Five years ago

77
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:15,560
To stay close to the capital.

78
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,960
When Ling Zhou was exiled...

79
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,680
The Xie family wasted no time
Grabbing what she can

80
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,800
It planted its men in all ministries.

81
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,920
And now, after she saw the two princes fighting

82
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,960
Are they trying to pounce like us?

83
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,960
Easier to say

84
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,840
From the verb.

85
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,560
"Ying Ti."

86
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,520
There is something I cannot understand.

87
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:45,560
Why this sudden coldness from "Zhao"?

88
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,480
Is it a slip of someone's tongue?

89
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,760
What did you alert her to?

90
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,600
My loyalty to you is absolute.

91
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,240
Enough.

92
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,040
Get up.

93
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,400
I know where your loyalty lies.

94
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,720
But given this sudden transformation

95
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,720
We can't wait any longer.

96
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,840
Tomorrow, we will exploit the Third Prince
To overthrow the Crown Prince.

97
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,800
His fall will push others to rebel

98
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,640
I will be there to restore order.

99
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,560
But "Gao" is an unexpected card.

100
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,640
The longer we wait, the greater the risks.

101
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,320
Lou, what's going on?

102
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,080
The Third Prince turned against the Crown Prince

103
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,720
He carried out a coup.

104
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,200
This was supposed to happen
On the wedding day next month.

105
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,320
Why did it happen so early?

106
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,120
His Highness ordered your protection.

107
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,440
Please remain at Chu Palace until further notice.

108
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,360
{\an8}"Anping Rebellion - Previous Life"

109
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,280
{\an8}- Where is "Shaun"?
- His Highness ordered your protection.

110
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Please stay at Chu Palace.

111
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,720
It started out just like a rebellion.

112
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,760
Tucked his brother, Chu Lan,
Poison to the Imperial Great Grandson

113
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,240
In the first year of Anping's reign.

114
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,400
Ma'am, what's wrong?

115
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,800
Let's run away.

116
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,480
Lou, go
And bring Fu Jiu from the guesthouse.

117
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:04,600
What about you?

118
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:06,040
I will save the imperial grandson.

119
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,880
Madam, your life is the most important.

120
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,600
Why do you worry about the imperial grandson now?

121
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,920
If he really died at the hands of my uncle

122
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,240
When the time of reckoning comes,
No one in my family will survive.

123
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,000
Lou, go.

124
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,840
- Hurry up.
Good.

125
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,560
If my uncle was really the killer

126
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,040
Wherever he was, the imperial grandson would be there.

127
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,120
"Lan Chu, Gao Chu's uncle."

128
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,600
It turns out it was him.

129
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,040
He had been under Xun Xiao's command the whole time.

130
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,960
The Crown Prince was poisoned and the third prince was detained

131
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,640
The imperial grandson was killed,
They were all arranged by Xun Xiao.

132
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,360
He was the mastermind of the rebellion from the beginning.

133
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,680
{\an8}"Imperial Ancestral Temple"

134
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,040
Your Highness, the army has gathered and awaits your orders.

135
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,320
Take your loyal warriors to the Crown Prince's Palace

136
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,320
And slaughter everyone in it.

137
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,360
Your command, Your Highness.

138
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,080
Once our forces penetrate the Imperial Palace

139
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,720
The throne will have a new master.

140
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,160
The Third Prince poisoned the Crown Prince

141
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,120
He committed a massacre in the Eastern Palace

142
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,960
He conspired against the late emperor and sparked a rebellion.

143
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,200
His crimes deserve death!

144
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:42,960
Rest assured, Your Highness.

145
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,680
I will protect the throne for you.

146
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,600
Don't be afraid. I'm Gao Zhou,
The guard captain's daughter, Ling Chu.

147
00:10:57,680 --> 00:10:58,520
Follow me.

148
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,920
Shut up.

149
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,880
Xun Xiao committed a massacre, and his crimes are unforgivable.

150
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,600
Because you are his fiancée, you must be his accomplice.

151
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,160
Don't come here and play rescue!

152
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,400
I'm engaged to him,
But my family only serves the crown.

153
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,840
You have come to Chu Palace in your distress
Because you know it's true.

154
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:13,760
Isn't what I said true?

155
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,080
His Majesty assigned me to guard His Highness

156
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,240
And find Lan Chu here in case of danger.

157
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,680
But where is he now?

158
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:25,920
My uncle got sick.

159
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,640
He asked me to get you out before he died.

160
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,720
My father has His Majesty's absolute confidence.

161
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,400
Xun Xiao's men are approaching,
We are not safe here.

162
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,200
Our waiting here is tantamount to surrendering to them.

163
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,440
We only have a chance to escape now.

164
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,720
If we're not safe here

165
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:49,680
Where should we go?

166
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,560
What can you do?

167
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,040
We're going to Yunchong.

168
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,600
To search for my father, the guard captain, Ling Chu.

169
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,040
Mr. Fu.

170
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,200
Mr. Fu.

171
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,320
Where is Gao Zhou?

172
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,640
She went to rescue the imperial grandson
But there is no trace of it.

173
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,000
She must have escaped.

174
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,400
Come with me, everyone, let's look for Gao Zhou.

175
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,640
I will come with you.

176
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,920
Stay here. You will be a burden to me.

177

"Chou Palace"

178
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:52,560
They handed me the Flame Decree.

179
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800
He instructed someone to fire it after an hour.

180
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,720
Let's go.

181
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,160
{\an8}"Eastern Palace"

182
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,880
Your Highness, we have combed the area.

183
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,240
There are no survivors.

184
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,560
How is Gao? What about Chu Palace?

185
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,360
We have guys stationed there.

186
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:30,000
Your Highness

187
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,600
I hope you and Yu get together.

188
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,040
Crown Prince soon.

189
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,960
This is not Yu Xiao.

190
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,160
Please rest assured

191
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,440
My father sent guards with the dowry.

192
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,240
I sent for them to come and get us.

193
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,760
Good.
- Search there!

194
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,560
Lou, please find Jiu.

195
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,520
At that time

196
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,280
Ling Chu founded the Longwei Army for me

197
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,480
And make fire their sign.

198
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,160
They did not move except by order of the Flame Decree.

199
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,120
He promised me that as long as they remained standing

200
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,320
I will never be in danger again.

201
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,640
He broke his promise.

202
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,560
I missed it.

203
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,760
Your Highness, why didn't you stay where you were?

204
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,040
In all this chaos, I felt absolutely terrified

205
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,320
And I was trying to find Shawn.

206
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,640
When I met His Highness.

207
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,880
Hey Ying Ti, you've come at the right time.

208
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,520
Help me accompany him back to the palace.

209
00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,880
Understood.

210
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,880
I will have someone take you back to the palace.

211
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,280
You can entrust it to me.

212
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,040
He's so terrified he won't leave me.

213
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,720
Where is Sean?

214
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,360
Maybe we can wait for him here.

215
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,360
He insisted that you hand it over to me.

216
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,360
Hand him over to me immediately.

217
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,400
What took you so long?

218
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,560
Gao Zhou, I will take you back to Yunchong.

219
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,240
- They backed off.
I am waiting.

220
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:16,360
My orders leave no room for waiting.

221
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,200
The General's orders are to bring you back alive.

222
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,640
Gao, are you leaving?

223
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,160
Won't you take me to my grandfather?

224
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,000
What is your relationship with Yanfang Xie?

225
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:39,760
Tell me.

226
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,680
What…

227
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,920
What is your connection to him?

228
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,800
What does that matter?

229
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,000
He is Yu Xiao, the son of the late Crown Prince

230
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,320
The only heir to the throne.

231
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:00,800
Jiu Fu, you must protect him.

232
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,040
I follow military orders, not yours.

233
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,880
A large group is approaching us.

234
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,480
What do you do?
- My orders are to get you out of here.

235
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,200
-And I don't care about anyone else.
-What about him?

236
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,240
If he's meant to survive, he will survive.

237
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,800
If not, there is no point in dying for him.

238
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,840
-Stay here and keep him safe.
science.

239
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:30,960
"Gaw!"

240
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Then Geo took me out.
From here in this same way.

241
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,160
{\an8}"Anping Rebellion, Past Life"

242
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,680
Stop. Put me down.

243
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,800
I have to find Shawn.

244
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,000
I received an order to return you safely to Yunchong.

245
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,560
I received an order to return you safely to Yunchong.

246
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,000
I can't let Xun Xiao
By seizing the throne.

247
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:12,800
Zhou Gao, have you lost your mind?

248
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:14,920
- I have to come back.

00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,760
locomotive.

250
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,560
Jiu Fu, you must keep me alive,
Otherwise you will be disobeying orders.

251
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,240
- From here. Hurry!
here!

252
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:01,600
"Jao."

253
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,040
"A noble virtue and an immortal grace."

254
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,360
Follow me and protect His Majesty the Emperor.

255
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,520
- Your command!
- Your command!

256
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:05,560
More of them are coming.

257
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,160
What do we do?

258
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,640
Don't worry.

259
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,600
I will die before you.

260
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,640
He's here.

261
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,320
By my order, they searched the city.

262
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,520
Anyone who resembled the Imperial Grandson would be killed immediately.

263
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,760
And the rest, follow me to the palace!

264
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Excuse me.

265
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,040
Who issued the Flame Decree?

266
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:26,320
I.

267
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,520
The Longwe Army has been in existence for more than a decade

268
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,640
But this is the first time I've seen him.

269
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,760
So my father doesn't just lead the Border Force,

270
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,320
But also this secret army.

271
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,240
So this is the army

272
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,360
Which he mentioned.

273
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,560
This is the Decree of Flame.

274
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,760
He leads a secret army.

275
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,640
The late Emperor assigned me to train them in secret

276
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,000
Especially for times like these.

277
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,400
They will help you protect the capital and Gao.

278
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,680
With them by our side

279
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,280
Leaving this place just got a little easier.

280
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,480
Last time, Xun Xiao crawled towards the palace

281
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,240
The decree was never issued.

282
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,520
The army remained unknown to everyone.

283
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,880
But now, they are my preference to thwart his bid for the throne.

284
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,640
- Hey scout troop.
- Your command!

285
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,920
Go and clear the way.

286
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,440
Try to avoid Master Xiaonan's men.

287
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,920
And the rest, follow me and let's get out of the city right now!

288
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:38,840
- Your command!
- Your command!

289
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:39,800
No, wait.

290
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,640
With the army to support us, there is no need to flee.

291
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:48,760
Where are you going?

292
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,920
To the palace.

293
00:25:08,120 --> 00:25:11,960
Your Majesty, with the fall of both princes

294
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,200
The heir of the master of Xiaonan
Coming soon to protect your majesty.

295
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,000
"Yi Ding, the accompanying sergeant."

296
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,480
Your Majesty

297
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,920
You must act immediately.

298
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,800
This is my brother

299
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,960
He was always patient.

300
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,680
But now

301
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,040
Even he had run out of patience.

302
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,560
Tell me

303
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,200
Who is truly qualified to inherit my throne?

304
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,800
Your Majesty, is there anyone you can think of?

305
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,920
He is Mr. Xiaonan

306
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,040
Or his son?

307
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:00,960
After all these years

308
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,920
You still know me better than anyone.

309
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,920
Go...and draw up the decree.

310
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:12,840
Your command, Your Majesty the Emperor.

311
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,920
We accompany His Highness back to the palace.

312
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,960
Open the gates immediately.

313
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:39,840
He's a fraud.

314
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,680
And his life is wasted.

315
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,000
By my order, kill him on sight!

316
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,960
Your leader has committed treason and been executed!

317
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,240
Atone for your sins now and all will be forgiven.

318
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,880
Whoever resists will be killed!

319
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,200
Can we win in a direct confrontation?

320
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,600
The gates will fall.

321
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,760
It is only a matter of time.

322
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,160
Once Xun Xiao entered the city,
He will be the first to kill him.

323
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,640
And you will be the second.

324
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,880
Was he really the one who just broke in?

325
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:04,360
They smashed the gates.

326
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,160
Is it worth it?

327
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,480
Worth a try.

328
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:23,400
Good.

329
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,640
We will stand at the gates as we were ordered

330
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,640
Until death.

331
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:39,320
"Gio."

332
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,280
Take care.

333
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,960
As the general said,
If the gates fall, we are no longer soldiers.

334
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,200
If we were to die today,
Let it be at these gates!

335
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,360
- No retreat!
- No retreat!

336
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,080
- No retreat!
- No retreat!

337
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,960
- No retreat!
- No retreat!

338
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,400
- No retreat!
- No retreat!

339
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,920
{\an8}"Gaoyang County"

340
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,880
{\an8}Xun Xiao is truly ruthless.

341
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,760
A massacre has been committed in the entire Eastern Palace.

342
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,400
Even the Crown Princess and her son have…

343
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,520
Nothing is more real

344
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,400
Of blade and blood.

345
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,560
Throne of Chu

346
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,200
It will never be for Xun Xiao.

347
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:16,280
Chi Du, mobilize the troops and head to the capital.

348
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Your Highness, I have failed you.

349
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,200
I was oblivious to underestimating Ling Chu.

350
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,520
The lady took the imperial grandson.

351
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:39,200
"Jao."

352
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,080
I finally figured something out.

353
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,080
Anyone who enters without being summoned will be killed.

354
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,280
I am Gao Zhou, daughter of Ling Zhou.
General of the Yunchong Guard.

355
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,040
I accompanied His Highness back and requested an audience.

356
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,120
"Taiji Hall"

357
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:34,520
"Yi Ding"?

358
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,800
Do you know me?

359
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,720
You were the great teacher,
The person that Xun Xiao trusts the most.

360
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,200
Of course I know you.

361
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,480
It's quite obvious

362
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,720
That Yi Ding had a hand in the rebellion.

363
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:58,400
We've met before.

364
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,800
Greetings, Your Highness the Prince.

365
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,080
His Majesty the Emperor is ill and cannot receive you.

366
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,560
Your brush tells a really strange story.

367
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,640
Do I accuse your clan?

368
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,320
By betraying my brush because of tonight's break-in?

369
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,440
What did Xiao Xun promise you?

370
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,640
With nine rewards
Or primarily to support his rise?

371
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,280
The heir to the crown stands before you.

372
00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,280
Which one do you think will leave a greater impact on history?

373
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,320
Installation of a usurper to the throne
Or lead a young emperor to glory?

374
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,600
Do you think that Xun Xiao,
Once he ascended the throne

375
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,440
He will keep a historian who knows the truth

376
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:13,800
About how he seized power?

377
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,880
But if His Highness takes the throne

378
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,960
You will be the main pillar of his rule

379
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,760
The first among all ministers

380
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:26,120
Every word will be history
Volunteer your fingers to write it.

381
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:41,320
Miss Chu

382
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,640
Please accompany His Highness to the Emperor.

383
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,440
"Taiji Hall"

384
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,520
- Your Highness.
- I'm "Yu."

385
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,280
Good.

386
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,840
"Yo", from now on

387
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,159
Our fates are linked together.

388
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,719
My father is the person His Majesty the Emperor trusts most.

389
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,360
And I want to be that to you.

390
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,800
You will always be the person I trust the most.

391
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:18,200
Your Majesty

392
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,000
She accompanied Gao Chu, Ling Chu's daughter,
HHH is back.

393
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,480
I am Gao Zhou, daughter of Ling Zhou.
General of the Yunchong Guards

394
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,040
I pay my respects to Your Majesty.

395
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,920
The daughter is just like her father.

396
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:46,800
Infinitely bold and completely free of any restrictions.

397
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,120
Your Majesty, intrusion was never my wish.

398
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,520
Mr. Che brought His Highness to my house for shelter

399
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,160
My father's men happened to be in the capital.

400
00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,080
In that difficult hour

401
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,160
She mobilized the Longwei army to protect the throne

402
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,920
To ensure the safe return of His Highness.

403
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,280
Get up.

404
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:24,400
serious.

405
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:40,840
I sent him away to keep him safe.

406
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,280
And now you are putting him back in this same imminent danger.

407
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:50,400
What is your purpose?

408
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:56,040
Your Majesty, Xun Xiao is plotting against the princes

409
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,000
He pursued your grandson and harbored treason against your majesty.

410
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,880
Even though I am engaged to him

411
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,520
I will not stand idly by
I watch a traitor wreak havoc.

412
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,240
Court doctor!

413
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,800
Don't be afraid. He will be fine.

414
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,400
If His Majesty the Emperor died now

415
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,320
It won't just be that I fail
In stopping "Xun Xiao"

416
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,200
Rather, he will frame me for killing the Emperor.

417
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,920
Everything you fought for will be in vain.

418
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,280
We can't hold out any longer!

419
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,600
Get Miss Chu out of here!

420
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,160
Thanks to that badge, they'll never stop you!

421
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,320
Hold on!

422
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,640
Stand firm!

423
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,400
See?

424
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,600
I have drunk poison and will not live until the morning.

425
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,600
The decree of succession has already been written.

426
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:03,680
By dawn

427
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,720
Xun Xiao will become the new emperor.

428
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:12,640
Yi Ding will escort you both to safety.

429
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,120
Your Majesty

430
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,800
Will you truly surrender this kingdom?
To Master Xiaonan and his son?

431
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,920
Can a six-year-old ascend the throne?

432
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:27,720
So be it.

433
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:30,920
Since things have come to this point

434
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,320
As long as one of Xiao's people sits on the throne

435
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:42,120
I can meet my ancestors with a clear conscience.

436
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,200
But, Your Majesty the Emperor

437
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,600
If His Highness goes to the border,
What will my father do?

438
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,600
He carves out territory for himself and challenges the new emperor

439
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:54,960
Just to protect him?

440
00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:00,080
The forces under your father's command

441
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,720
No need to get involved.

442
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,840
Longwe army

443
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,920
spread throughout the country,
Enough to keep him safe.

444
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,960
Your Majesty

445
00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:10,960
Whether he likes it or not, my father

446
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,400
He would be considered a threat to the new Emperor anyway.

447
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,680
If you trust him

448
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,280
To keep your grandchild safe at the border

449
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,560
So why don't you believe?

450
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,080
That he is able to protect His Highness while he ascends the throne?

451
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,120
The last thing your father would ever want

452
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,120
He is uniting this kingdom for me.

453
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,560
You reminded me of something.

454
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,720
If Xun Xiao insists on marrying you

455
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,800
Your father will not stand up to him

456
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,440
His forces will become a threat.

457
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:06,800
It seems

458
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:09,880
I can't let you go either.

459
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:37,320
On orders, who kills Gao Zhou?

460
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,400
He will die at my hands.

461
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:42,320
How impudent!

462
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,120
I'm risking your entire clan
To commit such a blatant betrayal?

463
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:49,960
I would totally welcome that.

464
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,240
- They came forward.
-Then we will die together!

465
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,480
"Gio."

466
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,280
Your Majesty, please let me be
Your grandson's older sister

467
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:24,960
Grand princess

468
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,440
to the state of Chu

469
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,960
And I help him

470
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,720
In maintaining the throne.

471
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,960
What did you say?

472
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,240
I know you and my father were blood brothers

473
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,360
Before she ascended the throne.

474
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,720
Call me the Grand Princess
It will make my father part of the family

475
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,320
And not just a follower of your grandson.

476
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,120
Border Forces and Longwe Army

477
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,120
They will become guardians for both of us.

478
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:03,600
So,

479
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:09,080
That's the big advantage
For His Highness to maintain the throne.

480
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,760
I might be dying

481
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:19,160
But I still have enough strength
To kill you and your father

482
00:42:19,240 --> 00:42:22,280
Because you are an epidemic on this throne.

483
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,640
So why not take advantage of that power?
In securing the future of the Kingdom?

484
00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:31,480
The rise of Xun Xiao will bring unrest and rebellion

485
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,000
And even the invasion from the northern desert.

486
00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:36,480
By then

487
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,320
The people will be consumed in endless war

488
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,600
And everything will be in vain.

489
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,520
How will you?

490
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:49,760
Confront your ancestors with a clear conscience
In the afterlife?

491
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:04,120
Grand princess

492
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:07,840
For the Kingdom…

493
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:10,880
Please rest assured.

494
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:15,440
This title starts with me and ends with me.

495
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,360
As long as I carry it

496
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,560
I will not get married or have children.

497
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,760
I will not give up my authority to anyone

498
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,480
I will not protect anyone with my shadow.

499
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,440
If I break this oath, I will be considered a traitor

500
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,040
And let whoever he wants kill me.

501
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,080
I can point my sword at enemies

502
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,720
And cut off every hand extending to the imperial seal.

503
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:47,800
All I hope is that the annals of history will be recorded

504
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,960
"Zhao Zhou, Grand Princess of Zhou"

505
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:53,600
She remained single her whole life.

506
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,480
She lies next to her father, Ling Chu.
On the border."

507
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,320
"Taiji Hall"

508
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,520
I, Xun Xiao, the heir of Master Xiaonan.

509
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:27,760
I request to appear before Your Majesty!

510
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,680
The third prince, Chu Xiao, committed
Betrayal, killing his brother,

511
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,480
He committed a massacre in the capital in pursuit of the throne.

512
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,320
This cannot go unpunished.

513
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,760
He is stripped of his title and demoted to the rank of commoner

514
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,080
His mother's clan, the Gao clan, is exterminated.

515
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,720
Xun Xiao defended,
Master of Xiaonan's heir to the throne par excellence

516
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,920
And the honor of the imperial dynasty.

517
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:30,480
Your Highness.

518
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:32,480
I hope you receive the decree.

519
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,760
We, the Xie Clan,
We have come to help you, Your Majesty the Emperor.

520
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:57,560
It's him.

521
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,200
The stars carry bad omens,
And here are the traitors causing chaos.

522
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:08,560
Both my sons fell.

523
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,560
Thanks to the courage and cunning of Zhao Zhou,
Ling Chu's daughter

524
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:16,760
Which set off armed
To get the imperial grandson to safety

525
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,400
The Xiao Dynasty survived.

526
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,920
Ling Chu shared a day with me
The dust and blood of battles

527
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,040
We swore the oath of brotherhood.

528
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,720
And for the eternal stability of the kingdom

529
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,320
I hereby transfer the throne

530
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,240
To my Imperial Great Grandson, Yu Xiao.

531
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,640
I grant the title of Grand Princess to Zhao Zhou.

532
00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:51,560
Her engagement to Xiao Xun is hereby broken off.

533
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,800
