00:13:16.510 --> 00:13:17.820
You're trying to get me killed!
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.320
This is a capital crime that
wipes out your whole clan!
00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.960
I don't even have a clan.
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:23.840
Besides,
00:13:24.750 --> 00:13:26.250
if you keep quiet, who'll ever know?
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:38.200
Move. You're blocking my light.
00:13:40.270 --> 00:13:41.770
What exactly are you trying to do?
00:13:42.030 --> 00:13:43.110
I'm going to save Cangcang.
00:13:43.550 --> 00:13:45.770
Abducting the Empress
is a capital crime too.
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:47.200
Trust you to come up with that!
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:49.370
Cangcang sent me a message.
00:13:49.390 --> 00:13:51.310
She said she doesn't
want to stay in the palace.
00:13:51.510 --> 00:13:53.490
Anything Cangcang wants to do,
00:13:53.510 --> 00:13:55.340
I have to help her do it.
00:13:55.750 --> 00:13:57.820
Your plan definitely won't work.
00:13:58.630 --> 00:14:00.490
Then do you have a better one?
00:14:03.030 --> 00:14:04.850
I'm the Prince of Yuzhang.
00:14:05.630 --> 00:14:07.230
What's wrong with me taking someone out?
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:14.010
So can you help me?
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:15.530
As long as you help me,
00:14:15.550 --> 00:14:16.550
I can...
00:14:20.630 --> 00:14:21.630
You can...
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:22.960
do what?
00:14:25.030 --> 00:14:26.980
I can help you take Xiao Huan's throne.
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:29.890
I'll risk life and limb,
00:14:29.910 --> 00:14:30.910
whatever it takes!
00:14:34.510 --> 00:14:36.100
You hate Xiao Huan that much?
00:14:38.630 --> 00:14:40.180
If he makes Cangcang sad,
00:14:40.270 --> 00:14:41.580
then I'm not okay with it.
00:14:42.150 --> 00:14:43.730
Anyone Cangcang doesn't like,
00:14:43.750 --> 00:14:44.850
I don't like either.
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:54.980
So are you helping me or not?
00:15:03.510 --> 00:15:04.510
Depends on my mood.
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:10.320
Depends on your mood?
00:15:11.390 --> 00:15:12.850
So that's a no!
00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:18.900
[Linghe Hall]
00:15:32.510 --> 00:15:33.510
Your Majesty.
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:36.180
This was sent over from Xuanguang Hall.
00:15:36.270 --> 00:15:37.770
It looks like wine mash,
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.610
but why is it shaped so oddly?
00:15:49.910 --> 00:15:50.910
You may go.
00:15:51.510 --> 00:15:52.510
Yes, Your Majesty.
00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:19.860
[Token]
00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.530
His Majesty arrives!
00:16:51.150 --> 00:16:52.220
Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:16:53.630 --> 00:16:54.630
Three days from now,
00:16:54.670 --> 00:16:56.530
the reinforcements
will depart for Jiangzhou
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.010
to support General Ling.
00:17:01.750 --> 00:17:02.890
Thank you, Your Majesty.
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:10.730
As for Luo Xianxue's death,
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:12.570
I never expected
00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:13.980
he would do that.
00:17:15.530 --> 00:17:16.530
I understand.
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:18.810
Your Majesty has your own burdens.
00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:20.360
You need not blame yourself.
00:17:25.830 --> 00:17:26.620
Cangcang,
00:17:26.830 --> 00:17:28.270
you've gotten much thinner lately...
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:41.880
Your Majesty,
00:17:42.830 --> 00:17:43.830
I heard
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:45.240
when the reinforcements march out,
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.730
Nanrong Palace will hold a
grand river-offering ceremony
00:17:47.750 --> 00:17:49.050
at the banks of the Qining River,
00:17:49.070 --> 00:17:50.490
praying for the soldiers.
00:17:50.750 --> 00:17:51.750
Is that so?
00:17:52.550 --> 00:17:53.550
Yes.
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:56.620
Would you care to attend with me?
00:17:59.750 --> 00:18:01.050
I was actually going to say
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:03.180
I'm not fond of noisy occasions,
00:18:04.550 --> 00:18:05.570
so I won't go.
00:18:34.510 --> 00:18:36.770
His Majesty arrives!
00:18:40.510 --> 00:18:41.530
Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:47.570
Carry on with your drills.
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:53.010
How are preparations
00:18:53.030 --> 00:18:54.230
for the ceremony coming along?
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.010
Please rest assured.
00:18:56.270 --> 00:18:57.770
Everything is ready.
00:18:58.070 --> 00:19:00.490
As for the finale of the fireworks,
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:02.326
would you prefer a
golden dragon in the sky,
00:19:02.350 --> 00:19:03.420
or...?
00:19:06.070 --> 00:19:07.070
A golden phoenix.
00:19:07.270 --> 00:19:08.670
Let the golden phoenix see them off
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:10.160
and bless their journey.
00:19:10.830 --> 00:19:12.350
The Empress doesn't even want to come.
00:19:13.310 --> 00:19:14.460
Does it really mean anything
00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:16.440
to do all this?
00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:20.400
What if
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.240
the Empress
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:24.050
changes her mind?
00:19:38.550 --> 00:19:40.010
She doesn't have you in her heart.
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.250
Why would she change her mind?
00:19:51.550 --> 00:19:54.180
Did you get the exit token I sent you?
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:01.200
In two days,
00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:03.050
it's the river-offering ceremony.
00:20:03.310 --> 00:20:05.420
With crowds going in and out of the palace,
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:06.880
that token
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.180
will let you leave.
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:11.330
Why are you helping me?
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:15.180
I gave Zhong Lin my word.
00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:17.760
More than helping Zhong Lin,
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:20.180
I'm afraid what you want most is to see
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:21.520
the Emperor and Empress fall out.
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:24.010
You saw through all that?
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:26.330
If you leave my brother,
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:29.010
the Ling clan won't be backing him as much.
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:30.920
Then,
00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:32.770
I'll have my chance.
00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:35.490
Thank you for your kindness,
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:38.290
but I have my own way.
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:41.700
You really don't need my help?
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:44.770
I'm usually cold and heartless.
00:20:45.070 --> 00:20:46.570
It's rare I offer to help.
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:48.200
And you
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:49.730
still don't appreciate it?
00:20:54.750 --> 00:20:56.530
I don't want Zhong Lin owing you a favor.
00:20:57.550 --> 00:20:58.550
There's one more thing
00:20:58.920 --> 00:20:59.920
I'd like to ask of you.
00:21:00.830 --> 00:21:01.830
Go ahead.
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:04.840
Please take good care of Zhong Lin.
00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:06.360
Don't let her come looking for me.
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:07.640
Where are you going?
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:10.290
Better if you don't know.
00:21:23.590 --> 00:21:24.330
Ladies,
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:26.730
this year's river-offering
ceremony is especially grand.
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.530
I hear His Majesty will
personally see off the troops.
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:31.810
I heard that too.
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:34.140
To be chosen by Preceptor Du to dance
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:35.620
is such an honor.
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:36.380
Yeah.
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:37.570
After today's sword dance,
00:21:37.590 --> 00:21:39.050
we get to escort the army out of the city.
00:21:39.070 --> 00:21:40.180
How glorious is that!
00:21:40.200 --> 00:21:41.200
Yeah!
00:21:42.680 --> 00:21:43.680
Ladies!
00:21:44.270 --> 00:21:45.270
Ladies,
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.810
the river-offering
ceremony is about to begin.
00:21:47.830 --> 00:21:48.830
Hurry and come with me.
00:21:48.990 --> 00:21:50.190
- Move it! - Come on, quickly!
00:22:12.740 --> 00:22:14.700
[Qi]
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:28.980
Her Majesty still refuses to come.
00:22:42.070 --> 00:22:46.420
Our best wishes to His Majesty
and the Empress Dowager!
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:52.000
Rise!
00:23:01.310 --> 00:23:03.050
The Empress still hasn't changed her mind.
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:06.460
To skip such an important ceremony,
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:08.660
seems she has no respect
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:12.530
for our ancestral rites.
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:14.480
The Empress cares deeply for Great Qi.
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:16.530
Wherever she is,
00:23:16.550 --> 00:23:18.290
she'll be praying for our land.
00:23:21.070 --> 00:23:22.140
Let's begin!
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:24.440
Yes, Your Majesty.
00:23:30.350 --> 00:23:34.330
The auspicious hour has come!
00:23:40.270 --> 00:23:41.730
We, the people of Great Qi,
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:43.856
[Tablet of the River Deity] with heaven,
earth, sun and moon as our bounds,
00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:45.620
and nourished by the grace of our rivers,
00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:47.220
rise early and toil till night,
00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:48.570
plowing fields and tending grain.
00:23:49.030 --> 00:23:50.860
We pray the River Deity to bless Great Qi,
00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:52.140
let our lands be rich,
00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:53.490
our harvests be full,
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:55.050
winds and rains be gentle,
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:56.570
and our years full of plenty.
00:24:00.750 --> 00:24:02.980
Offer incense!
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.380
Offer the wine!
00:24:34.790 --> 00:24:37.220
Send the offerings!
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:42.330
Sword dance to honor Heaven,
00:24:42.510 --> 00:24:43.810
may our land stand strong!
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:01.940
Today's sword dance was well done.
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:03.680
All of you, step forward.
00:26:30.350 --> 00:26:32.620
I like your dance very much.
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:33.730
Today,
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:35.940
you'll join me for the banner rite.
00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:36.960
Your Majesty,
00:26:37.070 --> 00:26:38.330
this goes against ritual.
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.700
In the Emperor's banner rite,
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:41.480
how can a mere palace
maid stand beside you?
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:43.420
I've already decided.
00:26:43.550 --> 00:26:44.900
No need to say more.
00:26:45.750 --> 00:26:46.750
I
00:26:47.750 --> 00:26:49.180
Just want to stand with you.
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:08.570
His Majesty shoots the banner
00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:09.980
