Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:22,760
Halt!
2
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:24,559
Identify yourself.
3
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,768
I am the wife of the Heir
to the Marquis of Shunan.
4
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:27,760
Open the city gates!
5
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,872
What is the purpose
of you leading your troops here
6
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,736
in the dead of night?
7
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,359
Forgive me,
but I am in armor and bound by duty.
8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:34,320
I cannot let you pass.
9
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:44,079
(Rong)
10
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:46,079
I am under secret orders
from Noble Consort Rong
11
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,079
to mobilize the elite troops of
the Marquis of Shunan into the palace.
12
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:51,079
If we miss the designated time,
13
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:53,280
can you bear the consequences?
14
00:00:54,399 --> 00:00:55,679
Open the gates immediately!
15
00:00:56,016 --> 00:00:58,670
I will consider this your first offense
and deal with you leniently.
16
00:00:58,679 --> 00:00:59,840
Deal with leniently?
17
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,039
Who do you think you are?
18
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:19,359
You...
19
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:20,760
You...
20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,239
I am the Heir to the Marquis of Shunan,
21
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:24,599
Bu Shulin's twin sister.
22
00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:25,599
Nonsense!
23
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:28,400
Since when did he have a twin sister?
24
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:30,079
Xiao Wenxi,
25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,319
you are indeed somewhat clever.
26
00:01:32,650 --> 00:01:35,392
You've been pretending to be
educated, reasonable, and understanding.
27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,350
I only found out after receiving
a secret letter from the Crown Princess
28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,560
that you had
so many schemes and disguises.
29
00:01:40,656 --> 00:01:42,624
I don't understand
what you're talking about.
30
00:01:42,656 --> 00:01:44,150
You lured the tiger from the mountain,
31
00:01:44,150 --> 00:01:46,976
and used the token to deceive
the Bu family's troops into serving you.
32
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,159
You intend to lead troops
into the imperial city
33
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:51,879
to assist Noble Consort Rong
in her coup.
34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,400
If you dare to plot like this,
35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,760
you should have asked
if I would allow it first.
36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,400
What are you waiting for?
37
00:02:04,879 --> 00:02:06,640
Hurry and arrest this imposter!
38
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,560
Do it!
39
00:02:10,159 --> 00:02:10,879
Seize her!
40
00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:16,360
Take her away!
41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,000
Move!
42
00:03:43,184 --> 00:03:44,030

Bloom, All Flowers Wither by Jin Huang)

45
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,352
Thank you to the Shunan Army
for your full support.
46
00:03:56,448 --> 00:03:57,870
You flatter us, Young Master Shen.
47
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,800
It is our duty.
48
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:06,919
I am under secret orders
from Princess Yaoxi
49
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:08,400
to lead the Lanhai soldiers here.
50
00:04:08,512 --> 00:04:09,560
The Princess has ordered
51
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,790
that we are entirely at your disposal,
Young Master Shen.
52
00:04:11,808 --> 00:04:13,710
The Crown Princess's safety
hangs by a thread.
53
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:15,159
Thank you both for your full support.
54
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,480
I am deeply grateful.
55
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,439
Soldiers, hear my command!
56
00:04:18,464 --> 00:04:19,392
- Yes!
- Yes!
57
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,270
Follow me into the palace
to protect His Majesty!
58
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:23,560
Anyone who stands in my way
will be killed without mercy!
59
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:24,720
- Anyone who stands in my way
- Anyone who stands in my way
60
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,040
- will be killed without mercy!
- will be killed without mercy!
61
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:26,920
Charge!
62
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,300
- Charge!
- Charge!
63
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:31,712
(Xuanming Gate)
64
00:04:31,712 --> 00:04:40,620
- Charge!
- Charge!
65
00:05:06,199 --> 00:05:06,879
Changqing,
66
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:09,360
stop this.
67
00:05:11,519 --> 00:05:12,759
You can't keep making mistakes.
68
00:05:13,519 --> 00:05:14,519
Whatever I do
69
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,399
has nothing to do with you.
70
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:18,759
Get out of my way.
71
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:20,480
I won't.
72
00:05:25,439 --> 00:05:26,240
Today,
73
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,279
I will absolutely not let you pass.
74
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,480
Xiao Changying,
75
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:31,839
get out of my way!
76
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:32,480
I won't!
77
00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:45,480
I'm warning you for the last time.
78
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,839
Do not interfere in anything.
79
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:55,120
Changqing,
80
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,079
do you know?
81
00:06:00,319 --> 00:06:01,439
In my heart,
82
00:06:02,464 --> 00:06:04,830
you are more important
than anything else in this world.
83
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,240
Others envy me for being born
into the royal family
84
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,920
and being able to grow up so carefree.
85
00:06:12,079 --> 00:06:13,000
But I know
86
00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:16,439
it's because I have
a strong older brother
87
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:18,040
who holds up the sky for me.
88
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,879
I once made two promises.
89
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,959
One was for Xihe.
90
00:06:33,399 --> 00:06:34,199
Today,
91
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:36,639
I would rather die
92
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,079
than fail to keep her safe.
93
00:06:42,319 --> 00:06:43,439
The second was for you.
94
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,480
In this life,
95
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:47,639
you and I are bound by blood.
96
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:48,800
I will never abandon you.
97
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,959
But now,
98
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:52,959
if you take one wrong step,
99
00:06:53,216 --> 00:06:54,928
you will be doomed beyond redemption.
100
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,199
I don't want
to see you end up like that.
101
00:06:57,639 --> 00:06:58,319
Changqing,
102
00:06:59,408 --> 00:07:00,680
let us bring this to an end
103
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,759
right here!
104
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:14,399
Changying!
105
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,399
Guards,
106
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,199
throw him in the dungeon.
107
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:35,800
- Yes!
- Yes!
108
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,560
Changqing.
109
00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:43,240
Changqing,
110
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:44,800
you can't go!
111
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,199
Changqing,
112
00:07:47,199 --> 00:07:48,480
you can't go!
113
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:50,240
Xiao Changqing!
114
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,360
You can't!
115
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,639
Xiao Changqing!
116
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:00,399
Xiao Changqing!
117
00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:56,960
Mother.
118
00:08:58,279 --> 00:08:59,039
Qing,
119
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,240
are you all right?
120
00:09:00,528 --> 00:09:02,528
What is the meaning of this, Prince Xin?
121
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,320
Do you really think
122
00:09:10,144 --> 00:09:11,760
you still have a chance of winning?
123
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:13,240
Until the very last moment,
124
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,200
how can the winner be decided?
125
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:24,120
Hand over the edict.
126
00:09:24,799 --> 00:09:25,559
In your dreams.
127
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,679
Do you really think
128
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:31,080
I would yield the throne to a child?
129
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,240
In today's battle,
130
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:34,759
I will not back down.
131
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:35,879
Fine.
132
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,320
Today, except for you,
133
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,039
everyone else will die here.
134
00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:45,080
Guards!
135
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Attack!
136
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,120
- Attack!
- Attack!
137
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,639
Report!
138
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,519
Your Highness,
the Shunan Army has entered the palace!
139
00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:40,440
The Northwest Army and the Lanhai Army
140
00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:41,519
have also broken in!
141
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:43,879
No.
142
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,440
Impossible.
143
00:10:47,759 --> 00:10:48,360
You...
144
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:50,720
How did you send the message out?
145
00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:56,020
(The Great Buddha Hall)
146
00:11:10,380 --> 00:11:11,620
(Order)
147
00:11:18,176 --> 00:11:20,000
(Prince Xin harbors
treasonous intentions.)
148
00:11:20,064 --> 00:11:22,360
(Quickly summon Shen Yun'an,
Heir of the Duke of Wei, to the capital)
149
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,424
(to prepare for any contingencies.)
150
00:11:25,536 --> 00:11:27,720
Besides His Majesty,
who else is in the bedchamber?
151
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,120
To answer Your Highness,
152
00:11:29,140 --> 00:11:31,072
the Directorate of Astronomy,
the Chief Minister,
153
00:11:31,104 --> 00:11:33,480
and several officials
from the Ministry of Rites are present.
154
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,080
They all entered by imperial decree.
155
00:11:35,152 --> 00:11:38,432
The Assistant Directorate of Astronomy
and Vice Minister of Rites are waiting.
156
00:11:38,496 --> 00:11:41,456
I happen to have some questions
for the Vice Minister of Rites.
157
00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:43,039
Before seeing His Majesty,
158
00:11:43,039 --> 00:11:44,399
may I have a word with him?
159
00:11:44,416 --> 00:11:45,456
Yes, Your Highness.
160
00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:48,639
I, Wu Shan, Vice Minister of Rites,
161
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,080
greet Your Highness.
162
00:11:51,039 --> 00:11:53,360
(Wu Shan, Vice Minister of Rites)
May I ask why you
163
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,159
summoned me today?
164
00:11:54,224 --> 00:11:56,550
I have a matter that requires you
to brave danger alone.
165
00:11:56,630 --> 00:11:58,096
This matter is of utmost importance.
166
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,799
Are you willing to lend me a hand?
167
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,240
You may not know,
168
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,519
but the Crown Prince
previously instructed
169
00:12:04,768 --> 00:12:07,504
that seeing the Crown Princess
is like seeing the Crown Prince himself.
170
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:09,039
Back then,
171
00:12:09,248 --> 00:12:11,216
if the Crown Prince
hadn't overcome all objections
172
00:12:11,248 --> 00:12:13,030
to appoint scholars
from humble backgrounds,
173
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:14,600
I would never be where I am today.
174
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:16,660
Furthermore, we from humble families
175
00:12:16,688 --> 00:12:19,200
all rely on His Highness's grace
in promoting the underprivileged
176
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,592
and appointing only the virtuous.
177
00:12:21,039 --> 00:12:23,080
Only then could
our lifelong ambitions be realized.
178
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,720
A scholar dies for his confidant.
179
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,679
The task you entrust to me,
180
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,600
I will not decline
even if it means my death.
181
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:33,519
Good.
182
00:12:34,304 --> 00:12:36,940
My brother is waiting at Mount Ziyun
in the suburbs of the capital.
183
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,080
Go there personally
184
00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:40,030
and tell him to immediately
contact Young Master Bu
185
00:12:40,039 --> 00:12:41,290
and Consort Shu's personal guards
186
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:43,280
to enter the palace at once
to protect the Emperor.
187
00:12:43,984 --> 00:12:46,080
The city is heavily guarded
inside and out right now.
188
00:12:46,224 --> 00:12:47,840
The road ahead is extremely dangerous.
189
00:12:48,010 --> 00:12:49,536
I'll leave this to you, Minister Wu.
190
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,960
I am familiar with the trails
in the suburbs.
191
00:12:52,279 --> 00:12:54,159
I will definitely not fail this mission.
192
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,600
Please rest assured, Your Highness.
193
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,720
You had already planned
194
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,159
to fight me to the death.
195
00:13:08,519 --> 00:13:09,600
You could have
196
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,320
avoided coming to this.
197
00:13:35,639 --> 00:13:36,360
Xihe!
198
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:39,399
Let's go.
199
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,919
Get down! Don't move!
200
00:13:55,728 --> 00:13:57,000
The palace is under control!
201
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,519
None of the rebels will escape!
202
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,440
Good work, Yun'an!
203
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,519
- Greetings, Your Highness.
- Greetings, Your Highness.
204
00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:07,039
- We, the soldiers of the three armies,
- We, the soldiers of the three armies,
205
00:14:07,039 --> 00:14:08,799
- will follow Your Highness's orders!
- will follow Your Highness's orders!
206
00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:10,039
- We await your command!
- We await your command!
207
00:14:10,039 --> 00:14:11,759
- We will follow Your Highness's orders!
- We will follow Your Highness's orders!
208
00:14:11,759 --> 00:14:13,000
- We await your command!
- We await your command!
209
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,960
Please rise, everyone.
210
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,780
- Yes, Your Highness!
- Yes, Your Highness!
211
00:14:27,919 --> 00:14:29,039
Rebels of the Rong family,
212
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,600
your cause is lost.
213
00:14:30,992 --> 00:14:32,270
Putting up a stubborn resistance
214
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:33,639
will only lead to your deaths.
215
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:35,679
Considering that you
216
00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:37,720
may have been coerced,
217
00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:40,480
lay down your weapons immediately,
218
00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:42,600
and your families' lives will be spared.
219
00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:44,919
If you remain obstinate,
220
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,159
the Embroidered Envoy is here.
221
00:14:48,016 --> 00:14:49,390
You will be killed without mercy.
222
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,080
We were all forced by
Noble Consort Rong!
223
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,200
We surrender!
224
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:56,519
- We surrender!
- We surrender!
225
00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:06,639
Qing.
226
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,759
Qing, stop.
227
00:15:10,399 --> 00:15:12,080
We have completely lost.
228
00:15:15,159 --> 00:15:16,799
I beg you.
229
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:24,679
I beg you.
230
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,159
I beg you.
231
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:46,799
Mother.
232
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:55,240
I have failed you.
233
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:09,879
Qing!
234
00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:12,000
Qing!
235
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,919
Qing!
236
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:49,840
Take him away.
237
00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:32,140
(Qing)
238
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:50,240
I have something
239
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:54,400
to say to the Crown Princess alone.
240
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:20,550
What do you want to say?
241
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,279
I know your capabilities.
242
00:18:28,319 --> 00:18:29,400
As long as you want to,
243
00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:33,640
you can rule as the Empress Dowager.
244
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:37,240
But for a woman to rule the world,
245
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:41,240
this path
246
00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:45,240
will be very difficult for you.
247
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:49,319
Now,
248
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,400
you have saved the officials
from the sword.
249
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:53,759
From now on,
250
00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:56,920
no matter what you want to do,
251
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,000
no one will dare
to say a word against it.
252
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:04,799
Are you saying
253
00:19:05,599 --> 00:19:06,440
that all of this,
254
00:19:07,799 --> 00:19:08,880
from forcing me to marry you
255
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,319
to us crossing swords,
256
00:19:12,839 --> 00:19:14,160
was done by you on purpose?
257
00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:20,720
Between you and me,
258
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,799
we were destined to be incompatible.
259
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,759
Your biggest obstacle
260
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,799
was me, Xiao Changqing.
261
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,400
But now,
262
00:19:36,319 --> 00:19:38,039
I am a treasonous rebel.
263
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,480
All your obstacles
264
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,640
will cease to exist.
265
00:20:02,700 --> 00:20:04,100
I'll go get an imperial physician.
266
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:04,799
Don't.
267
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,119
In the last moments of my life,
268
00:20:14,599 --> 00:20:16,200
I want to look at you.
269
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,359
I told you a long time ago
270
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,480
that I could face it myself.
271
00:20:28,319 --> 00:20:29,880
Why did it have to come to this?
272
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:34,839
I know my own heart very well.
273
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,200
As long as I am alive,
274
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,640
I can't let you go.
275
00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:51,960
I can't stop myself
from getting close to you.
276
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:58,640
My existence,
277
00:21:01,319 --> 00:21:02,680
and my obsession,
278
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,279
will eventually become your shackles.
279
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,599
Only if I die
280
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,400
can we both be free.

and protect you with my life.
288

Last time,
289
00:21:50,319 --> 00:21:51,480
I failed to do so.
290
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,480
But this time,
291
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,440

Just now,
332
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,039
the Crown Prince
you single-handedly groomed
333
00:25:31,519 --> 00:25:33,200
attempted to rebel.
334
00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:34,920
Impossible.
335
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,000
Changqing
336
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,160
would never commit treason.
337
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,839
He has already been executed.

341
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,079
Does it break your heart?
342
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:00,319
Mother,
343
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,279
why did you do this?
344
00:26:08,519 --> 00:26:10,720
Your Highness, you have been waiting
for this moment,
345
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:11,759
haven't you?
346
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,400
Yes.
347
00:26:18,039 --> 00:26:18,920
For this day,
348
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,920
I have waited for over twenty years.
349
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,119
And it's because of you
350
00:26:26,519 --> 00:26:28,279
that I fell short at the last hurdle.
351
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,599
When did you
352
00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:34,400
start suspecting me?
353
00:26:35,079 --> 00:26:37,519
Gu Qingshu was just a helpless orphan.
354
00:26:38,839 --> 00:26:40,720
Those risky schemes
355
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,319
must have had someone backing them.
356
00:26:43,072 --> 00:26:44,830
The person
of the highest status around her
357
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,039
was you.
358
00:26:46,559 --> 00:26:47,599
More importantly,
359
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,400
the poisonous incense she hid
in my golden lock
360
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,160
was made
361
00:26:52,224 --> 00:26:54,544
by modifying a rare incense
from the Western Regions.
362
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,519
The base of that incense formula
363
00:26:56,519 --> 00:26:58,359
was the calming incense
you frequently use.
364
00:26:58,839 --> 00:27:00,559
It is unique in the palace.
365
00:27:05,376 --> 00:27:06,640
Thinking about it carefully,
366
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,480
why would Gu Qingshu dare
to instigate the Second Prince
367
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,599
to oppose the East Palace?
368
00:27:10,848 --> 00:27:13,640
How did the Fourth Prince secretly
enter the palace to assassinate?
369
00:27:14,016 --> 00:27:15,980
How could he incite
the Imperial Guard to rebel?
370
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,559
And the deaths of Consort Liang
and the Second Prince.
371
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:20,799
Every single incident
372
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,319
is connected to you.
373
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:25,039
Mother,
374
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,880
why did you do this?
375
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,000
Because...
376
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,559
Because I am full of hate.
377
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,160
Did you know
378
00:27:40,144 --> 00:27:42,550
that the Crown Prince always
respected his grandmother?
379
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:43,680
In his heart,
380
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,160
besides His Majesty,
381
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:46,640
you were his closest family.
382
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,160
He never once suspected
383
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:49,839
that you would poison him.
384
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,759
The poison given to Huayong
385
00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:53,880
was your doing?
386
00:27:54,279 --> 00:27:54,960
Yes.
387
00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:56,680
Who asked him to be
388
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,319
the Emperor's most favored son?
389
00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:09,119
Back then,
390
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:12,759
you stood on the city wall
391
00:28:13,376 --> 00:28:15,110
and refused to send reinforcements,
392
00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:17,559
watching helplessly as Prince Qian,
393
00:28:17,759 --> 00:28:19,240
my own biological son,
394
00:28:20,079 --> 00:28:21,319
fought a lone battle
395
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:23,799
and died on the battlefield.
396
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:27,440
It's been twenty years.
397
00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:30,920
Not a day goes by
that I don't think of him.
398
00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:34,240
I also know Huayong is innocent.
399
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,200
I couldn't bear it either.
400
00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:39,920
But whenever I think of my son
who died unjustly,
401
00:28:40,559 --> 00:28:42,759
my heart breaks.
402
00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:43,960
Mother...
403
00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:46,799
Huayong is not my flesh and blood.
404
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,440
He is Juewei's own flesh and blood.
405
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,480
He is your own grandson.
406
00:28:57,599 --> 00:29:00,640
Before Prince Qian died for his country,
407
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:02,759
he entrusted me with this.
408
00:29:03,504 --> 00:29:05,400
Tomorrow,
the enemy's main force will attack.
409
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,216
I will lead the troops out of the city.
410
00:29:07,744 --> 00:29:08,920
You will defend the city.
411
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:10,759
Remember our agreement.
412
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,119
One signal means come to my aid.
413
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,200
Two signals
414
00:29:14,672 --> 00:29:15,920
mean defend to the death.
415
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:18,279
This is a military order.
416
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,160
I will not fail you.
417
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,480
It's the signal.
418
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,039
It's my brother's signal.
419
00:29:28,128 --> 00:29:29,680
Gather the troops and open the gates!
420
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:30,359
Ride to Prince Qian's aid!
421
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,056
- Wait!
- Yes!
422
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,319
Hurry!
423
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:34,799
Hold on.
424
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:39,319
Two signals.
425
00:29:44,319 --> 00:29:45,599
How could it be two signals?
426
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,440
Pass on my order.
427
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,440
All soldiers
428
00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:25,160
defend the city to the death!
429
00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:26,200
What are you saying?
430
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,119
- Duke Ying!
- Duke Ying!
431
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:27,860
Don't be impulsive.
432
00:30:27,872 --> 00:30:29,440
Prince Qian is surrounded right now!
433
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,920
Are we just going to leave him to die?
434
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,200
Archers, nock your arrows!
435
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:36,960
The city gates
436
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,319
must never be opened!
437
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,359
Are you going to watch Prince Qian
438
00:30:46,384 --> 00:30:48,304
die on the battlefield
with your own eyes?
439
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,559
He is your brother!
440
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,200
Your brother!
441
00:31:04,559 --> 00:31:08,079
This is a life-and-death pact
between my brother and me.
442
00:31:11,279 --> 00:31:13,759
Anyone who opens the gates
without authorization
443
00:31:14,759 --> 00:31:16,079
will be executed without mercy!
444
00:32:28,359 --> 00:32:29,119
Juewei.
445
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:31,920
Juewei.
446
00:32:32,279 --> 00:32:32,920
Juewei.
447
00:32:41,559 --> 00:32:42,319
Juechong.
448
00:32:44,079 --> 00:32:45,119
Yunzhou City
449
00:32:45,392 --> 00:32:47,240
is the strategic chokepoint
of the northwest.
450
00:32:48,559 --> 00:32:50,440
You must hold it.
451
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,960
You must never
let the people fall into misery.
452
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,440
But you are the future Crown Prince.
453
00:32:59,968 --> 00:33:01,740
You need to return
to the imperial capital.
454
00:33:01,839 --> 00:33:03,319
You cannot die here.
455
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:05,880
Trading my life
456
00:33:08,079 --> 00:33:10,599
for a shred of the people's trust
in the court
457
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,799
and a shred of hope for the future.
458
00:33:16,799 --> 00:33:18,240
If I die here,
459
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,559
it will be a worthy death.
460
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,359
Juewei, you have the people
in your heart.
461
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,839
But I
462
00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:29,039
only have you in my heart.
463
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,920
When I was young,
464
00:33:33,359 --> 00:33:34,400
in the palace,
465
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,960
I was an insignificant person.
466
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,640
Only you
467
00:33:40,759 --> 00:33:42,599
noticed the emptiness in my heart,
468
00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:46,119
and gave me dignity.
469
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,279
All that I could do for you
470
00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:55,519
was just provide you
with material things
471
00:33:56,910 --> 00:33:58,285
and keep up your appearances
472
00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:01,039
just like me.
473
00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:05,960
But this one time,
474
00:34:08,079 --> 00:34:10,000
I don't want you
475
00:34:12,559 --> 00:34:13,920
to be like me.
476
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:15,760
No.
477
00:34:16,599 --> 00:34:18,159
No, Juewei.
478
00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:19,599
Live on well.
479
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:21,760
No.
480
00:34:23,079 --> 00:34:24,679
Juewei, you have to hold on.
481
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,239
You have to hold on!
482
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:28,320
My wife
483
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,440
is about to give birth.
484
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:32,800
Take good care
485
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:36,679
of her and the child.
486
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:42,519
Juewei.
487
00:34:48,159 --> 00:34:48,840
Juewei.
488
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:53,880
Juewei.
489
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,000
Juewei!
490
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:48,800
I...
491
00:35:49,199 --> 00:35:51,119
I deserve to die a thousand deaths.
492
00:35:55,159 --> 00:35:56,280
Sister-in-law...
493
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,000
What happened to her?
494
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,936
The Princess Consort
495
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:03,880
heard of Prince Qian's passing
496
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,719
and was overcome with grief.
497
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,039
It affected her pregnancy.
498
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,000
The bleeding wouldn't stop.
499
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,519
Just now,
500
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,159
she passed away.
501
00:36:24,079 --> 00:36:24,960
Sister-in-law,
502
00:36:28,119 --> 00:36:29,440
I am useless.
503
00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:35,360
I couldn't bring my brother back.
504
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:38,400
Your Highness.
505
00:37:06,039 --> 00:37:06,800
Your Highness.
506
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,920
The little imperial grandson
has been born.
507
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:10,519
Should we send a message immediately
508
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,119
to inform the Empress?
509
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,199
Princess Consort Qian has passed away.
510
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,400
The unborn child could not be saved.
511
00:38:28,079 --> 00:38:29,000
Both mother and child
512
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:31,960
have perished.
513
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:35,719
But Your Highness,
514
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:37,600
- the imperial grandson is clearly...
- I said,
515
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,800
both mother and child have perished.
516
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:43,639
Your Highness.
517
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:51,679
Guards.
518
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:56,048
Here, Your Highness.
519
00:38:58,559 --> 00:38:59,920
These people in the room
520
00:39:00,576 --> 00:39:02,550
disrespected
the Princess Consort's remains
521
00:39:02,670 --> 00:39:03,952
and harbored malicious intent.
522
00:39:05,519 --> 00:39:06,800
Dispose of them cleanly.
523
00:39:07,639 --> 00:39:08,599
Leave no trace.
524
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:09,920
Understood.
525
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,360
- Your Highness!
- Spare us, Your Highness!
526
00:39:24,639 --> 00:39:25,840
From now on,
527
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:27,920
you are my child.
528
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:55,360
- Long live, Your Majesty.
- Long live, Your Majesty.
529
00:39:55,370 --> 00:39:57,490
Official Zhao brought a package
from outside the palace.
530
00:39:57,504 --> 00:39:59,248
He insisted it be handed
to you in person.
531
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:02,199
I'm really curious.
532
00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:04,880
What kind of person was my father?
533
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,360
Your father,
534
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:07,719
in my heart,
535
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:08,960
