00:00:56,312 --> 00:01:02,614
THE STORY OF PRINCESS ZHAO YANG

2
00:01:07,863 --> 00:01:09,351
This is the topic of today's discussion.

3
00:01:09,431 --> 00:01:12,072
Scholar from a humble family
breaking the shackles of lineage,

4
00:01:12,152 --> 00:01:13,672
pass the imperial examination,
and became a palace official.

5
00:01:13,752 --> 00:01:17,103
Which is better,
serving the people and helping the world,

6
00:01:17,183 --> 00:01:20,552
or focus on bringing success
for his family?

7
00:01:20,632 --> 00:01:22,685
Everyone, please pass it on
your opinion.

8
00:01:28,112 --> 00:01:29,672
The premise of this question is flawed.

9
00:01:34,174 --> 00:01:35,192
Serve the country
and achieve personal goals

10
00:01:35,272 --> 00:01:36,565
it's not contradictory.

11
00:01:37,839 --> 00:01:38,952
What we must fight for

12
00:01:39,032 --> 00:01:40,806
is to break the chain of social ranking,

13
00:01:41,552 --> 00:01:43,070
so that every scholar

14
00:01:43,150 --> 00:01:44,464
have a fair chance

15
00:01:44,544 --> 00:01:46,162
to achieve success.

16
00:01:46,242 --> 00:01:47,268
Shen Xiao.

17
00:01:47,348 --> 00:01:49,842
No, I have to call you
Supervisor Shen now.

18
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,889
You dare propose impeachment
before the Emperor,

19
00:02:03,969 --> 00:02:05,273
even stopping the imperial carriage
in public.

20
00:02:05,353 --> 00:02:08,632
The fact that you were only caned once
is already mercy.

21
00:02:08,712 --> 00:02:10,386
Why are you defending outsiders?

22
00:02:12,456 --> 00:02:13,871
You've traveled a long way
and see many things.

23
00:02:13,951 --> 00:02:16,466
Do you know much
about Princess Zhao Yang?

24
00:02:22,623 --> 00:02:23,959
I know a little.

25
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:25,734
So, what kind of person is he?

26
00:02:28,951 --> 00:02:31,040
I heard before him
given the title Princess Zhao Yang,

27
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,014
she's the forgotten princess,

28
00:02:33,094 --> 00:02:35,239
who was left to languish in the Cold Palace.

29
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:37,137
His life was very difficult.

30
00:02:37,217 --> 00:02:38,431
(Cold Palace?)

31
00:02:42,726 --> 00:02:45,549
(What does the scar also come from
from his days at the Cold Palace?)

32
00:02:47,304 --> 00:02:49,720
How long had he been trapped in that place?

33
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,494
Then, how did he get out?

34
00:02:51,999 --> 00:02:53,127
Regarding her and Cui Jin Zhi...

35
00:02:53,207 --> 00:02:55,232
Do they really love each other?

36
00:02:55,312 --> 00:02:56,632
or is there another story behind it?

37
00:02:58,087 --> 00:03:01,462
Since when did you become
so interested in the Princess?

38
00:03:04,111 --> 00:03:06,151
He is the Crown Prince's confidant,

39
00:03:06,231 --> 00:03:08,632
but he secretly cooperated
with me all this time

40
00:03:08,712 --> 00:03:10,206
and detained me in the capital.

41
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,649
From the outside, he looked extravagant
and likes to have fun.

42
00:03:14,312 --> 00:03:15,766
But I feel

43
00:03:17,671 --> 00:03:19,871
it's not what it seems.

44
00:03:19,951 --> 00:03:22,072
Is he friend or foe?

45
00:03:22,152 --> 00:03:23,311
I really can't be sure.

46
00:03:23,391 --> 00:03:24,672
Why not give him a position

47
00:03:24,752 --> 00:03:27,798
Grade eight Censorship Bureau supervisor
to stay in the capital?

48
00:03:27,878 --> 00:03:29,092
Could it be

49
00:03:30,384 --> 00:03:32,472
Can't you stop thinking about me?

50
00:03:32,552 --> 00:03:33,806
If necessary,

51
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,158
you can ask for my help.

52
00:03:36,238 --> 00:03:38,656
I only whipped you a few times.
I've been merciful.

53
00:03:38,736 --> 00:03:40,232
If you don't move away,

54
00:03:40,312 --> 00:03:42,031
Don't blame me for being rude.

55
00:03:42,111 --> 00:03:43,271
You want to use me.

56
00:03:43,351 --> 00:03:44,965
I can make it happen.

57
00:03:45,448 --> 00:03:47,544
It's getting harder and harder for me to understand,

58
00:03:47,624 --> 00:03:49,158
the more I want to get to know him.

59
00:03:49,751 --> 00:03:51,287
You hope he is

60
00:03:51,367 --> 00:03:52,559
an opponent

61
00:03:52,639 --> 00:03:53,933
or friends?

62
00:03:54,670 --> 00:03:56,632
To get to know someone,
You have to look into his heart.

63
00:03:56,712 --> 00:03:57,926
You have to

64
00:03:59,152 --> 00:04:00,565
find the answer yourself.

65
00:04:10,032 --> 00:04:12,432
Second Prince,
we have come to transport wheat.

66
00:04:12,512 --> 00:04:14,192
Please don't make things difficult for us.

67
00:04:15,136 --> 00:04:16,831
The Emperor has ordered

68
00:04:16,911 --> 00:04:20,872
wheat from every barn in the capital
moved to Yongtong Canal.

69
00:04:20,952 --> 00:04:22,031
Move! Fast!

70
00:04:22,111 --> 00:04:25,111
Crown Prince, wheat already
moved to private warehouse.

71
00:04:33,392 --> 00:04:34,808
-Second Prince.
-Move.

72
00:04:34,888 --> 00:04:36,392
This is the Princess's Residence.

73
00:04:36,472 --> 00:04:37,992
I suggest the Second Prince
don't force your way in.

74
00:04:38,072 --> 00:04:39,366
Insolent waiter!

75
00:04:41,911 --> 00:04:43,463
-Let go!
-Jian Xin.

76
00:04:43,543 --> 00:04:45,229
Let the Second Prince come in.

77
00:04:49,207 --> 00:04:50,421
Second Prince.

78
00:04:51,032 --> 00:04:52,246
This way, please.

79
00:04:53,776 --> 00:04:54,990
Rude waiter.

80
00:04:56,239 --> 00:04:58,406
Li Shu!

81
00:04:59,032 --> 00:05:00,846
Second Brother, you are in good spirits today.

82
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,895
Money substitute wheat policy makes
My Ministry of Finance is having difficulties.

83
00:05:09,975 --> 00:05:12,256
Don't tell me this wasn't your idea
for the Crown Prince.

84
00:05:12,855 --> 00:05:14,632
Second Brother, you have no proof.

85
00:05:14,712 --> 00:05:16,506
Why are you so sure it was me?

86
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,072
Everyone knows you are
Crown Prince's strategist.

87
00:05:20,152 --> 00:05:21,514
Reserve wheat
under the Ministry of Finance

88
00:05:21,594 --> 00:05:23,294
will be vacated by the Ministry
Employment and Ministry of Defense.

89
00:05:23,374 --> 00:05:25,632
You pushed me into a dead end.

90
00:05:28,216 --> 00:05:30,583
There is no such thing as a dead end
in this world.

91
00:05:30,663 --> 00:05:32,951
You already have someone
ready to be used, Second Brother.

92
00:05:33,031 --> 00:05:34,685
Why make things difficult for yourself?

93
00:05:37,911 --> 00:05:39,488
You mean,

94
00:05:39,568 --> 00:05:40,782
Shen Xiao?

95
00:05:42,111 --> 00:05:43,120
Stupid.

96
00:05:43,655 --> 00:05:45,151
He is too brave.

97
00:05:45,231 --> 00:05:46,551
Although honest and loyal,

98
00:05:46,631 --> 00:05:48,013
he would definitely stir up trouble.

99
00:05:48,093 --> 00:05:49,638
What's there to be afraid of?

100
00:05:49,718 --> 00:05:51,848
He was handpicked by Dad
as Best Scholar.

101
00:05:51,928 --> 00:05:53,912
If you guide him

102
00:05:53,992 --> 00:05:56,432
and have him oversee wheat policy
in lieu of taxes,

103
00:05:56,512 --> 00:05:58,406
You will benefit from Dad's support.

104
00:05:59,016 --> 00:06:00,247
If successful,

105
00:06:00,327 --> 00:06:02,520
Your praised Ministry of Finance.

106
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,232
If it fails,

107
00:06:04,312 --> 00:06:05,912
Dad will only blame

108
00:06:05,992 --> 00:06:07,657
noble clan.

109
00:06:07,737 --> 00:06:09,537
However, you will not be blamed.

110
00:06:23,064 --> 00:06:24,678
Why are you so good

111
00:06:25,318 --> 00:06:26,573
to give me advice?

112
00:06:29,711 --> 00:06:31,285
Believe it or not,

113
00:06:31,896 --> 00:06:33,470
it's completely up to you.

114
00:07:11,823 --> 00:07:13,358
(From now on, use this)

115
00:07:14,311 --> 00:07:16,151
(to enter and exit the Princess's Residence.)

116
00:07:23,719 --> 00:07:25,493
Don't forget our meeting tonight.

117
00:07:28,032 --> 00:07:29,366
What am I doing?

118
00:07:32,688 --> 00:07:34,462
Why do I agree with him?

119
00:07:35,855 --> 00:07:37,110
Am I crazy?

120
00:07:40,072 --> 00:07:43,286
How he survived
years in the Cold Palace?

121
00:07:57,214 --> 00:07:58,948
Because I have received it
prick this flower hair bun,

122
00:08:00,271 --> 00:08:01,565
I have to keep my promise.

123
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:05,494
If you have promised,
I have to fulfill it.

124
00:08:08,151 --> 00:08:09,640
That's what Dad taught me.

125
00:08:13,950 --> 00:08:15,560
SIMPLE HOUSE

126
00:08:21,432 --> 00:08:24,272
Supervisor Shen,
Princess has been waiting for you for a long time.

127
00:08:39,441 --> 00:08:41,704
XIANKE BOTHEL

128
00:08:42,974 --> 00:08:46,120
Princess, why did you propose Shen
the thief to the Second Prince?

129
00:08:46,927 --> 00:08:49,222
If I use one sword
to overthrow the Crown Prince,

130
00:08:49,302 --> 00:08:50,927
have to borrow
other people's strengths first.

131
00:08:51,007 --> 00:08:52,512
Shen Xiao will be the sword.

132
00:08:52,592 --> 00:08:54,432
The Second Prince will be his strength.

133
00:08:56,151 --> 00:08:57,365
Wait.

134
00:08:58,079 --> 00:08:59,959
What do you mean by "Shen the thief"?

135
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:01,296
A thief is a person who steals.

136
00:09:01,376 --> 00:09:03,927
Shen Xiao has stolen Putri's heart.

137
00:09:04,007 --> 00:09:05,221
So, isn't he a thief?

138
00:09:06,567 --> 00:09:07,822
Nonsense.

139
00:09:09,728 --> 00:09:12,700
Isn't the Princess's sword
supposed to arrive tonight?

140
00:09:13,255 --> 00:09:15,269
Why isn't he here yet?

141
00:09:16,808 --> 00:09:19,120
Princess has been waiting for a long time.

142
00:09:21,158 --> 00:09:23,216
There was a soft fragrance on her body.

143
00:09:23,296 --> 00:09:24,790
Can you imitate it?

144
00:09:25,552 --> 00:09:27,530
You've met him,
so you should be aware of it.

145
00:09:28,495 --> 00:09:29,782
Looks like I can't help.

146
00:09:29,862 --> 00:09:32,880
I never smelled anything
at Shen Xiao.

147
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,565
But I've heard

148
00:09:34,645 --> 00:09:35,940
there is some kind of aroma

149
00:09:36,020 --> 00:09:38,301
that can only be felt
by two people who are in love.

150
00:09:39,777 --> 00:09:42,062
Bad. Now he is
really became Shen the thief.

151
00:09:42,142 --> 00:09:44,120
Thief of Hearts.

152
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,272
I think you're crazy.

153
00:09:47,352 --> 00:09:49,391
How could I like him?

154
00:09:49,471 --> 00:09:51,369
If you can't help, leave.

155
00:09:51,449 --> 00:09:53,009
Who says I can't help?

156
00:09:53,632 --> 00:09:55,246
You want me to tie up Shen Xiao
and bring it to you?

157
00:09:55,326 --> 00:09:56,512
Your Highness, do you mind?

158
00:09:56,592 --> 00:09:57,720
You...

159
00:10:08,135 --> 00:10:10,352
(Could it be the scent on her body)

160
00:10:10,432 --> 00:10:12,926
(just my imagination?)

161
00:10:48,256 --> 00:10:49,470
Who are you?

162
00:10:58,151 --> 00:10:59,560
It's you, Princess An Le.

163
00:11:00,087 --> 00:11:01,400
Forgive my rudeness.

164
00:11:02,152 --> 00:11:03,560
Impoliteness?

165
00:11:04,103 --> 00:11:06,238
I'd be disappointed if you were

166
00:11:06,318 --> 00:11:07,773
not a bit impudent.

167
00:11:10,712 --> 00:11:12,824
If the Princess has official business,

168
00:11:12,904 --> 00:11:14,592
You can inform the Supervisory Bureau.

169
00:11:14,672 --> 00:11:16,313
If there's nothing else,

170
00:11:16,393 --> 00:11:17,806
I'm sorry.

171
00:11:20,303 --> 00:11:22,071
You are just an eighth-rank official.

172
00:11:22,151 --> 00:11:23,960
What official business might you have?

173
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,415
I invited you here.

174
00:11:25,495 --> 00:11:28,262
You know very well the reason.

175
00:11:28,342 --> 00:11:30,071
If you keep playing dumb,

176
00:11:30,151 --> 00:11:31,800
this will be boring.

177
00:11:33,383 --> 00:11:35,551
I'm a boring guy.

178
00:11:35,631 --> 00:11:37,640
Princess, let me go.

179
00:11:38,623 --> 00:11:40,799
I've been a widow for three years.

180
00:11:40,879 --> 00:11:42,472
I've met a lot of people.

181
00:11:42,552 --> 00:11:45,224
You're the most attractive
among them.

182
00:11:45,304 --> 00:11:46,518
Honestly,

183
00:11:48,295 --> 00:11:49,567
at the Best Scholars banquet,

184
00:11:49,647 --> 00:11:52,382
I saw you wearing a red robe
with gold floral embroidery

185
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:54,149
and your brave actions
impeached Zhao Yang.

186
00:11:54,229 --> 00:11:56,271
To be honest, I still am
can't forget it.

187
00:11:56,351 --> 00:11:58,406
If you wear that robe again,
Supervisor Shen,

188
00:11:59,062 --> 00:12:00,271
I will let you go.

189
00:12:00,351 --> 00:12:01,565
What do you think?

190
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:06,176
Princesses must be polite.

191
00:12:06,256 --> 00:12:07,440
I'll excuse myself now.

192
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,053
I heard today

193
00:12:14,839 --> 00:12:17,560
You were whipped by Zhao Yang in public.

194
00:12:18,175 --> 00:12:21,015
I have healing ointment
gift from the Emperor.

195
00:12:21,095 --> 00:12:23,509
What if I'm alone
who smeared it?

196
00:12:26,087 --> 00:12:28,501
Such an imperial gift
not something I deserve.

197
00:12:29,968 --> 00:12:31,182
I'll excuse myself.

198
00:12:32,351 --> 00:12:33,565
Don't get in my way!

199
00:12:36,272 --> 00:12:37,431
Bring him back here!

200
00:12:37,511 --> 00:12:38,872
Good!

201
00:12:38,952 --> 00:12:40,232
My bodyguard is at the door!

202
00:12:40,312 --> 00:12:42,286
You won't be able to escape today!

203
00:12:45,319 --> 00:12:47,271
When did this handsome young man come here?

204
00:12:47,351 --> 00:12:48,392
Are you new here?

205
00:12:48,472 --> 00:12:49,838
-What's your name?
-Stop!

206
00:12:49,918 --> 00:12:52,279
Fast! He ran there! Chase him!

207
00:12:52,359 --> 00:12:55,207
The princess has given orders.
We have to catch him tonight.

208
00:12:55,287 --> 00:12:57,722
FENGQI PAVILION

209
00:13:12,472 --> 00:13:13,973
Why does it feel like something is wrong?

210
00:13:27,376 --> 00:13:29,304
Supervisor Shen, you're late.

211
00:13:29,384 --> 00:13:30,598
It seems

212
00:13:31,230 --> 00:13:32,880
I've ruined Putri's mood.

213
00:13:33,462 --> 00:13:35,280
Then, why haven't you left yet?

214
00:13:37,384 --> 00:13:38,638
I won't go.

215
00:13:41,455 --> 00:13:42,669
Let them go.

216
00:13:47,319 --> 00:13:49,302
Shen Xiao must have run this way!

217
00:13:49,382 --> 00:13:50,680
Search every room!

218
00:14:00,615 --> 00:14:02,368
That's just your nature, Overseer Shen.

219
00:14:02,448 --> 00:14:03,806
You came at my invitation,

220
00:14:03,886 --> 00:14:05,664
but instead it provoked An Le's anger.

221
00:14:05,744 --> 00:14:07,766
If it becomes his savings,

222
00:14:07,846 --> 00:14:09,831
you might get a promotion.

223
00:14:09,911 --> 00:14:11,911
Supervisor Shen,
you really know how to play.

224
00:14:12,767 --> 00:14:15,536
I promised I would
accompanying Putri every night.

225
00:14:15,616 --> 00:14:17,750
I never planned
engage with other people.

226
00:14:19,511 --> 00:14:21,374
Supervisor Shen, is this loyalty?

227
00:14:21,454 --> 00:14:23,391
Or are you just seducing me,

228
00:14:23,471 --> 00:14:25,244
for me to offend An Le for your sake?

229
00:14:28,776 --> 00:14:29,913
Does it still hurt?

230
00:14:29,993 --> 00:14:31,038
Sick.

231
00:14:34,102 --> 00:14:36,273
If so,
The whipping you received was not in vain.

232
00:14:36,353 --> 00:14:38,432
You are against an arrogant princess
in public,

233
00:14:38,512 --> 00:14:40,584
get a reputation
as defender of the people,

234
00:14:40,664 --> 00:14:43,031
then come here
and acting pathetic.

235
00:14:43,111 --> 00:14:45,047
When you said you wanted to use me,

236
00:14:45,127 --> 00:14:46,902
you really took advantage of me
well.

237
00:14:48,024 --> 00:14:49,958
What did Putri actually experience?

238
00:14:50,038 --> 00:14:52,280
to prejudice
to other people?

239
00:14:56,496 --> 00:14:58,640
Rather than digging up my past,
Supervisor Shen,

240
00:14:59,512 --> 00:15:01,325
You should care more about the people.

241
00:15:03,135 --> 00:15:04,840
I just happened to meet a bad person,

242
00:15:06,111 --> 00:15:07,871
but they are trapped
in a chaotic world.

243
00:15:13,528 --> 00:15:14,742
Take off your clothes.

244
00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:26,084
You've treated the wound.

245
00:15:26,164 --> 00:15:27,724
But it wasn't Putri who did it.

246
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,992
So...

247
00:15:32,072 --> 00:15:34,205
You want the princess
who smeared it for you?

248
00:15:38,231 --> 00:15:39,920
Your daughter is outside.

249
00:15:44,151 --> 00:15:46,330
(If I look too close
with you in front of An Le,)

250
00:15:46,410 --> 00:15:48,471
(Crown Prince
definitely won't let me go.)

251
00:15:48,551 --> 00:15:49,893
(I can't save you today.)

252
00:15:52,079 --> 00:15:53,720
(Obviously I don't deserve it)

253
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,263
(asking you to endanger yourself
in front of the Crown Prince's sister.)

254
00:15:56,343 --> 00:15:57,728
Shen Xiao!

255
00:15:57,808 --> 00:15:59,742
To think you were hiding
at Fengqi Pavilion!

256
00:16:01,792 --> 00:16:03,071
Zhao Yang, come out!

257
00:16:03,151 --> 00:16:04,565
Why is he at your place?

258
00:16:13,039 --> 00:16:15,392
He barged in himself
because of panic.

259
00:16:15,472 --> 00:16:17,663
Little brother, forced melon
will never be sweet.

260
00:16:17,743 --> 00:16:18,834
Why are you troubling yourself?

261
00:16:18,914 --> 00:16:20,232
I don't care whether it's sweet or not.

262
00:16:20,312 --> 00:16:22,632
If it's not sweet, I'll dip it
into the sauce and eat it anyway.

263
00:16:23,183 --> 00:16:25,239
Putri, do you really mean it?
made a palace official

264
00:16:25,319 --> 00:16:26,920
as your personal entertainer?

265
00:16:28,351 --> 00:16:30,162
-So what?
-Superintendent Shen.

266
00:16:30,242 --> 00:16:32,272
Do you want to defy my orders,
even if your life is at stake?

267
00:16:32,352 --> 00:16:35,183
Princess Games is not worth it
with my life.

268
00:16:35,263 --> 00:16:37,647
But if Princess continues to press me,

269
00:16:37,727 --> 00:16:39,560
I can't promise
won't hurt you.

270
00:16:40,551 --> 00:16:41,680
You...

271
00:16:45,712 --> 00:16:46,926
Are you brave?

272
00:16:51,632 --> 00:16:54,383
It seemed that An Le would not leave
empty-handed today.

273
00:16:54,463 --> 00:16:57,560
Supervisor Shen, you are clearly a man
who knows when to give in.

274
00:16:58,071 --> 00:16:59,352
Why not just follow?

275
00:16:59,432 --> 00:17:02,135
Your career will definitely take off later.

276
00:17:02,215 --> 00:17:03,789
Your future will be limitless.

277
00:17:07,041 --> 00:17:08,455
(Reinforcements have arrived.)

278
00:17:12,374 --> 00:17:14,720
An Le, you are too much!

279
00:17:18,312 --> 00:17:20,086
All this time the Emperor always

280
00:17:20,656 --> 00:17:23,040
turn a blind eye to your actions.

281
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:25,253
But now, you dare to try
kill the Best Scholar

282
00:17:26,704 --> 00:17:28,296
appointed directly by the Emperor.

283
00:17:28,376 --> 00:17:29,536
Not me.

284
00:17:29,616 --> 00:17:30,743
It's Zhao Yang!

285
00:17:30,823 --> 00:17:33,504
-There he is!
-Everything must end now.

286
00:17:33,584 --> 00:17:35,352
If I see you

287
00:17:35,432 --> 00:17:37,069
annoying Supervisor Shen again,

288
00:17:37,149 --> 00:17:38,780
don't blame me
if you report to Dad

289
00:17:38,860 --> 00:17:40,314
and have your land confiscated.

290
00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:45,352
What are you laughing at?

291
00:17:45,432 --> 00:17:46,784
I laughed at the thought

292
00:17:46,864 --> 00:17:48,368
how much do you have to pay.

293
00:17:48,448 --> 00:17:49,781
None of your business.

294
00:17:50,494 --> 00:17:53,160
You know how many customers
What are you afraid of tonight?

295
00:17:54,632 --> 00:17:56,616
So, you really don't know.

296
00:17:56,696 --> 00:17:59,280
The Crown Prince's Xianke embroidery.

297
00:18:00,614 --> 00:18:02,760
Stop scaring me
with the Crown Prince.

298
00:18:04,432 --> 00:18:05,646
Let's go.

299
00:18:07,152 --> 00:18:08,726
Don't forget the compensation.

300
00:18:15,304 --> 00:18:16,510
Supervisor Shen,

301
00:18:16,590 --> 00:18:18,544
An Le won't bother you anymore.

302
00:18:18,624 --> 00:18:21,102
Thank you, Second Prince,
because it saved my life.

303
00:18:21,182 --> 00:18:22,840
Supervisor Shen, you flatter me too much.

304
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,207
-It's just a small favor.
-By the way,

305
00:18:25,287 --> 00:18:27,302
what brought the Second Prince
to Xianke Embroidery?

306
00:18:27,382 --> 00:18:30,120
I came here specifically to look for you,
Supervisor Shen.

307
00:18:30,632 --> 00:18:32,960
My people saw An Le
brought you here.

308
00:18:33,871 --> 00:18:35,270
This disaster is getting worse every day.

309
00:18:35,350 --> 00:18:37,431
We are short of people
at the Ministry of Finance.

310
00:18:37,511 --> 00:18:39,054
I want to know

311
00:18:39,134 --> 00:18:41,534
are you willing to serve?
under the Ministry of Finance?

312
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,127
First, you impeach Zhao Yang.

313
00:18:44,207 --> 00:18:46,098
Then, you insist
restoration of the Yongtong Canal.

314
00:18:46,178 --> 00:18:47,801
Now, you also offended An Le.

315
00:18:47,881 --> 00:18:49,840
The Crown Prince will not let you go.

316
00:18:50,431 --> 00:18:52,880
Why not work for me?

317
00:18:53,688 --> 00:18:55,664
If the Second Prince doesn't mind
with my reckless ways,

318
00:18:55,744 --> 00:18:57,847
I'm willing to serve
and share the burden of the Second Prince.

319
00:18:57,927 --> 00:19:00,280
Consider this a reply
for your kindness today.

320
00:19:00,896 --> 00:19:03,408
But I'm worried about the Crown Prince
won't let you go that easily.

321
00:19:03,488 --> 00:19:05,383
If the Supervisory Bureau
did not agree to the transfer,

322
00:19:05,463 --> 00:19:07,838
I can't force him either.

323
00:19:08,991 --> 00:19:11,846
I understand what the Second Prince meant.

324
00:19:12,336 --> 00:19:14,480
I'll find a way to
get the transfer order.

325
00:19:29,592 --> 00:19:31,885
(The first from a simple family
who breaks fate.)

326
00:19:32,864 --> 00:19:35,240
(Entered the honor roll,
shake the world.)

327
00:19:37,071 --> 00:19:39,926
(Don't ever say
the noble gate is impossible to pass.)

328
00:19:41,175 --> 00:19:44,121
(Even scholars in plain robes
can rise to the highest level.)

329
00:19:44,201 --> 00:19:46,520
TOMB OF SHEN QING ZHI

330
00:19:47,952 --> 00:19:49,032
(The results are out!)

331
00:19:49,112 --> 00:19:50,406
(The results are out, Dad!)

332
00:19:50,903 --> 00:19:52,480
I'll check the list for you!

333
00:20:12,681 --> 00:20:14,960
SHEN QING ZHI

334
00:20:15,807 --> 00:20:17,520
Dad did it!

335
00:20:20,152 --> 00:20:22,231
Last place in second class!

336
00:20:22,311 --> 00:20:23,392
Did I succeed?

337
00:20:23,472 --> 00:20:24,586
Did I really succeed?

338
00:20:25,311 --> 00:20:27,695
Good! Extraordinary!

339
00:20:27,775 --> 00:20:29,072
I did it!

340
00:20:29,152 --> 00:20:30,471
I did it!

341
00:20:30,551 --> 00:20:31,818
I did it!

342
00:20:33,367 --> 00:20:34,841
Shouting like that
only for the last rank.

343
00:20:34,921 --> 00:20:37,607
People who don't know will think
he became the Best Scholar.

344
00:20:37,687 --> 00:20:38,872
For men from simple families,

345
00:20:38,952 --> 00:20:41,160
Just being able to enter the list is enough
to make him lose his mind.

346
00:20:42,152 --> 00:20:44,559
Last ranking
remain a successful candidate.

347
00:20:44,639 --> 00:20:45,751
Xiao, tell me.

348
00:20:45,831 --> 00:20:47,032
Should I serve?
in one of the Six Ministries,

349
00:20:47,112 --> 00:20:48,792
or join one
of the Three Departments?

350
00:20:52,031 --> 00:20:53,063
The first person from a simple family

351
00:20:53,143 --> 00:20:54,393
-which breaks fate.
-Good!

352
00:20:54,473 --> 00:20:57,432
-Enter the honor roll, shake the world.
-Good!

353
00:20:57,512 --> 00:20:59,926
Never say gate
nobles are impossible to pass.

354
00:21:01,015 --> 00:21:03,471
Even scholars in plain robes
can rise to the highest level.

355
00:21:03,551 --> 00:21:04,805
Good!

356
00:21:05,952 --> 00:21:07,032
What do you think of this poem?

357
00:21:07,112 --> 00:21:08,654
When I'm gone someday,

358
00:21:08,734 --> 00:21:10,920
Xiao can carve these words
on my tombstone.

359
00:21:11,751 --> 00:21:13,920
(Father, you are thinking too far.)

360
00:21:28,983 --> 00:21:30,040
Dad.

361
00:21:33,672 --> 00:21:34,750
It's midnight.

362
00:21:34,830 --> 00:21:35,988
Why haven't you slept yet?

363
00:21:36,068 --> 00:21:37,751
If you know
it's late, go to sleep.

364
00:21:37,831 --> 00:21:39,272
Why worry about me?

365
00:21:39,352 --> 00:21:41,119
You have to study tomorrow morning.

366
00:21:41,199 --> 00:21:42,413
Come on, quickly.

367
00:21:53,375 --> 00:21:54,480
Father.

368
00:21:56,472 --> 00:21:58,240
I'll join soon
with the Ministry of Finance.

369
00:22:00,775 --> 00:22:02,975
I can't believe you're really dead
because he fell off that cliff.

370
00:22:04,519 --> 00:22:05,733
The reason for your death

371
00:22:07,239 --> 00:22:08,733
definitely related

372
00:22:09,633 --> 00:22:12,120
with the impeachment of the Crown Prince.
