reinforcements have arrived.

00:02:03.950 --> 00:02:04.740
Jueding.
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:05.760
How is it?
00:02:06.150 --> 00:02:06.850
Leave.
00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:07.870
Yes.
00:02:09.750 --> 00:02:10.750
Is it serious?
00:02:11.150 --> 00:02:12.340
You're being reckless.
00:02:12.430 --> 00:02:13.380
As the Empress,
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:14.660
you should stay in the palace.
00:02:14.710 --> 00:02:16.030
How can you come to such a place?
00:02:16.470 --> 00:02:17.510
How dare you mention that?
00:02:18.310 --> 00:02:19.940
I heard the situation
in Jiangzhou is critical.
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:21.520
Do you know how worried I am about you?
00:02:21.590 --> 00:02:23.270
Regarding your arrival in Jiangzhou today,
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.680
did Father and His Majesty know?
00:02:24.870 --> 00:02:25.870
Could they rest assured?
00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:28.520
I didn't tell Father.
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:29.840
As for the other one,
00:02:30.630 --> 00:02:31.750
it's better not to tell him.
00:02:35.870 --> 00:02:37.450
Did he bully you?
00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:45.430
His Majesty
00:02:45.590 --> 00:02:46.890
has always been calculating.
00:02:46.910 --> 00:02:47.820
I know
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.850
he wants to use you to achieve direct rule.
00:02:50.310 --> 00:02:51.950
He doesn't care about your safety at all.
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:55.520
None of that matters now.
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:57.080
Sit.
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:00.840
What matters
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:02.890
is I can now confirm you're safe.
00:03:03.030 --> 00:03:03.730
Otherwise,
00:03:03.750 --> 00:03:04.690
how could I rest easy
00:03:04.710 --> 00:03:06.010
staying in the palace?
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:07.080
Cangcang.
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.570
I know you want to roam
the martial world alone,
00:03:09.590 --> 00:03:10.590
being free and carefree.
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:12.850
If it weren't for the Ling family
00:03:13.430 --> 00:03:14.430
or for Father,
00:03:14.910 --> 00:03:16.820
how would you have been
coerced by Xiao Huan?
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:18.780
When I learned you were to marry him,
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.096
I thought about returning to the Capital,
00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:21.820
but that Xiao Huan wouldn't let me.
00:03:22.870 --> 00:03:23.870
Orders are orders.
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:25.686
Without imperial decree, I cannot return.
00:03:25.710 --> 00:03:27.096
But if I had known today
would turn out like this,
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.260
I would have risked my life
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:29.890
to bring you out of that cage.
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:32.570
Jueding has really grown up.
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.500
You even worry about me now.
00:03:38.030 --> 00:03:39.540
But what you just said
00:03:40.190 --> 00:03:41.780
is beyond our control.
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:43.320
No need to blame yourself.
00:03:44.630 --> 00:03:45.630
Very well.
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.260
Since you've come to Jiangzhou,
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.130
stay safely in the camp.
00:03:49.190 --> 00:03:50.190
Don't run around.
00:03:50.310 --> 00:03:52.060
I'll send someone to escort you back soon.
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.240
I won't go back.
00:03:54.150 --> 00:03:55.940
Do you even remember who you are?
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:56.660
I...
00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.130
Jiangzhou's situation is grim.
00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:59.380
If anything happens to you,
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:01.010
how could I explain to Father?
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.096
You rushed to the
battlefield to save me earlier.
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:04.610
Just as reckless as before.
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:06.540
But if something happens,
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.320
- how am I supposed to handle it?
- Jueding.
00:04:11.030 --> 00:04:11.940
I'm
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.780
no longer a weak woman needing protection.
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:15.536
Although I'm not an
expert in military strategy,
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:16.660
I know a bit.
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:17.780
Jiangzhou's situation is dire.
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:18.850
You urgently need manpower.
00:04:18.870 --> 00:04:20.140
- I must stay and help you. - But...
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:21.160
No discussion.
00:04:27.310 --> 00:04:28.310
Jiangzhou is dangerous.
00:04:28.510 --> 00:04:30.290
But fortunately, reinforcements are here.
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.320
They can temporarily
hold back Kumor's army.
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:33.730
I've analyzed Kumor's army positions
00:04:33.750 --> 00:04:34.750
and terrain
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.170
and have some speculations.
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:42.540
Your Majesty.
00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:43.870
Victory at Jiangzhou.
00:04:46.430 --> 00:04:47.606
Reinforcements have reached Jiangzhou.
00:04:47.630 --> 00:04:49.110
Kumor's forces have retreated ten li.
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:51.656
Xiaoxing Guards reported
back with intelligence.
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:52.930
Kumor is assembling his troops,
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:53.810
planning a counterattack.
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.100
He's always ruthless
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:56.120
and cold-blooded.
00:04:56.310 --> 00:04:58.050
But my collected intelligence
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.220
regarding his personal habits is limited.
00:05:02.510 --> 00:05:03.510
It seems
00:05:04.270 --> 00:05:05.270
my plans
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:06.660
must be advanced.

Speak.
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:35.220
My lord.
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:36.610
I've received news
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.286
that Young Lady has arrived in
Jiangzhou with the westbound army.
00:05:39.310 --> 00:05:40.100
Currently,
00:05:40.190 --> 00:05:41.580
she is in General Ling's camp.
00:05:47.510 --> 00:05:49.220
Her Majesty has traveled west,
00:05:50.510 --> 00:05:52.810
yet I had no knowledge of it.
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:56.480
I deserve punishment.
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:58.160
My lord.
00:05:58.270 --> 00:05:59.410
The palace publicly claims
00:05:59.630 --> 00:06:01.136
that Her Majesty is
recuperating at the outer palace,
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.370
but Li Hongqing has
sealed it off completely.
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.170
My men can't gather any information.
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.850
Nor did we know Young Lady is
with the westbound reinforcements.
00:06:09.200 --> 00:06:10.310
Please punish me.
00:06:12.630 --> 00:06:13.630
You may leave.
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:14.340
Yes.
00:06:14.510 --> 00:06:15.510
Thank you, My lord.
00:06:29.510 --> 00:06:30.510
Stay calm.
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.020
General Ling has already
gathered supplies for everyone,
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:36.220
ensuring that every citizen
in Jiangzhou receives food.
00:06:36.580 --> 00:06:40.170
- Good! - Good!
00:06:42.870 --> 00:06:43.850
Line up.
00:06:43.870 --> 00:06:44.910
Everyone will get a share.
00:06:45.390 --> 00:06:46.050
Thank you.
00:06:46.070 --> 00:06:46.980
Don't rush. Everyone will get a share.
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:48.000
Thank you.
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.340
It's the year of famine.
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.340
Food is scarce everywhere.
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:53.410
You distribute food
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.810
to the people of Jiangzhou.
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.240
You're indeed an excellent
general of Great Qi.
00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.140
Cangcang.
00:06:59.310 --> 00:07:00.490
Stop praising me.
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.440
- Let's hand out the food together.
- Line up.
00:07:02.610 --> 00:07:03.610
Alright.
00:07:07.220 --> 00:07:08.429
[Qi]
00:07:08.430 --> 00:07:09.950
The westbound reinforcements' supplies
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:11.800
can only temporarily
ease Jiangzhou's crisis.
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.050
The imperial grain shipments
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:15.850
will take at least another half month.
00:07:16.190 --> 00:07:17.190
So,
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:18.900
we need to consider other solutions.
00:07:19.310 --> 00:07:20.550
With the Xijiang snow disaster,
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:22.080
Kumor is also short of supplies.
00:07:22.830 --> 00:07:24.410
If Kumor runs out of supplies,
00:07:25.430 --> 00:07:26.580
will he have to retreat?
00:07:27.190 --> 00:07:28.250
What do you mean?
00:07:28.630 --> 00:07:29.810
During war,
00:07:29.830 --> 00:07:31.900
both armies will always
set up key supply points.
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.410
We might as well make use of it
00:07:33.430 --> 00:07:34.790
and kill two birds with one stone.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:36.360
Look.
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.720
This is Jiangzhou City.
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.200
[Kumor's Camp]
This is Kumor's camp.
00:07:39.270 --> 00:07:40.460
Kumor's Black Tiger Army
00:07:40.630 --> 00:07:43.780
charged toward Jiangzhou
City with unstoppable momentum.
00:07:43.830 --> 00:07:44.830
Smooth and unhindered.
00:07:45.430 --> 00:07:48.290
But to their east lies
dense forest and swamp.
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.580
Behind them is Qianlai Valley.
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:52.850
Qianlai Valley is known
for its bottleneck terrain.
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.696
The mountains on both sides
aren't high, but they're steep.
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.050
Kumor's tactics are cunning.
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.580
They chose this terrain
00:07:58.630 --> 00:08:00.220
to prevent ambushes.
00:08:00.430 --> 00:08:02.490
And they can fall back and defend.
00:08:02.510 --> 00:08:04.980
But Qianlai Valley's mountain
paths are extremely difficult.
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.000
It's not a suitable place for storing
or transporting military supplies.
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:09.240
Moreover,
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.846
the valley sits against the
mountains and by the water.
00:08:11.870 --> 00:08:12.900
Are you saying
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.810
they traveled by water to Sand City,
00:08:15.950 --> 00:08:18.580
and Sand City is their key supply point?
00:08:19.430 --> 00:08:20.340
It's possible.
00:08:20.430 --> 00:08:21.490
If it's their vital point,
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.100
it'll be heavily guarded.
00:08:23.430 --> 00:08:25.250
Our army won't be
able to take it so easily.
00:08:25.270 --> 00:08:27.700
Our goal isn't to take over Sand City,
00:08:27.750 --> 00:08:29.730
but to seize their grain supplies.
00:08:30.270 --> 00:08:31.479
I can lead a night raid on Sand City.
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:32.390
[Sand City]
00:08:32.391 --> 00:08:33.700
We'll catch them off guard.
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:35.850
If we manage to seize the grain,
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:37.490
not only will the people in the city
00:08:37.510 --> 00:08:38.890
and the soldiers get a breather,
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:39.960
but it may also
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:41.340
help end the war quickly.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.130
You control the others.
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.456
You come with me to find the main house.
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:14.480
- Yes. - Let's go.
00:09:34.870 --> 00:09:35.870
Spare me, Sir.
00:09:36.030 --> 00:09:37.030
Spare me.
00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:44.750
Fix your clothes.
00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:49.440
- You're kind-hearted. - Cut the nonsense.
00:09:50.150 --> 00:09:51.560
Where is your commanding general?
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.200
Tell me, and I'll spare your life.
00:09:59.550 --> 00:10:00.550
I don't know.
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:02.300
Kumor suffered a defeat.
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.700
As soon as the sun
set, he took people away,
00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:06.120
saying
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.370
they had important
military matters to discuss.
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.080
And who are you?
00:10:13.750 --> 00:10:14.820
My name is Minmin.
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:16.940
They abducted me.
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:17.960
I...
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:20.180
I don't know anything.
00:10:28.670 --> 00:10:29.670
How am I supposed to know
00:10:30.510 --> 00:10:31.980
you're not lying to me?
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:35.130
They gave me
00:10:35.150 --> 00:10:36.300
these whip marks.
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.650
I've been living in hell every day.
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.340
Thank goodness you came.
00:10:41.790 --> 00:10:42.980
Take me with you.
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:44.700
Commander.
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:45.770
We're running out of time.
00:10:45.790 --> 00:10:47.250
If Black Tiger Army finds out
something is off with Sand City,
00:10:47.270 --> 00:10:48.530
forget transporting supplies,
00:10:48.550 --> 00:10:49.980
we won't even get out alive.
00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:52.180
I know where this city's grain is stored,
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:53.420
but I have one condition.
00:10:53.750 --> 00:10:54.850
If you find the grain,
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:56.580
you must take me with you.
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.240
How is the situation?
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:08.730
We've basically secured
00:11:08.750 --> 00:11:09.850
everyone here.
00:11:11.910 --> 00:11:12.700
Good.
00:11:12.870 --> 00:11:14.220
Leave a few men to watch them.
00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.250
The rest, come with me.
00:11:15.270 --> 00:11:16.270
Yes.
00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:26.480
Sir.
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.850
Can I at least have a sip of water?
00:11:52.550 --> 00:11:53.340
Your Highness.
00:11:53.390 --> 00:11:54.390
Are you alright?
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.100
Do I look alright to you?
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:58.610
A bunch of useless fools.
00:11:59.790 --> 00:12:01.100
If I hadn't improvised on the spot
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.120
and fooled them,
00:12:02.630 --> 00:12:04.460
I, the commander of Sand City,
00:12:04.790 --> 00:12:06.850
would've become the
joke of Black Tiger Army.
00:12:06.870 --> 00:12:07.870
Yes.
00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.320
Your Highness.
00:12:09.510 --> 00:12:10.580
What should we do now?
00:12:12.870 --> 00:12:13.870
Go.
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:16.060
Release the refugees we locked up.
00:12:16.630 --> 00:12:17.630
Tell them
00:12:17.750 --> 00:12:18.940
they have food now.
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:19.960
Yes.
00:12:34.630 --> 00:12:36.580
This grain was way too easy to get.
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:38.610
Kumor suffered a defeat.
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.060
As soon as the sun
set, he took people away,
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:42.200
saying
00:12:42.630 --> 00:12:44.510
they had important
military matters to discuss.
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:46.530
My name is Minmin.
00:12:47.030 --> 00:12:48.650
They abducted me.
00:12:48.670 --> 00:12:49.670
I...
00:12:50.030 --> 00:12:51.580
I don't know anything.
00:12:53.390 --> 00:12:55.220
I know where this city's grain is stored,
00:12:55.470 --> 00:12:56.770
but I have one condition.
00:12:58.480 --> 00:12:59.760
Something's off with that woman.
00:13:00.150 --> 00:13:01.300
All soldiers, listen up!
00:13:01.790 --> 00:13:02.790
Take the grain
00:13:02.870 --> 00:13:03.820
and evacuate immediately!
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:04.840
Yes!
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:11.440
Quick, keep up!
00:13:27.510 --> 00:13:29.390
Why can't we see which
direction the tracks go?
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:31.060
Could it be
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:32.180
they sensed it beforehand?
00:13:33.750 --> 00:13:34.750
Move.
00:13:42.630 --> 00:13:43.010
Where's the grain?
00:13:43.030 --> 00:13:43.940
It's all gone.
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:44.300
What happened?
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:45.320
How is everything gone?
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:46.360
Yes.
00:13:47.510 --> 00:13:48.820
Looks like they already knew.
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:49.840
Retreat!
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:00.600
Sir.
00:14:00.750 --> 00:14:02.100
You scared me.
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:05.490
We meet again.
00:14:05.790 --> 00:14:06.790
Sand City Lord.
00:14:10.030 --> 00:14:11.980
You're quite clever.
00:14:12.510 --> 00:14:14.180
May I ask where I slipped up?
00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:15.440
Your whip marks.
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.060
I heard noise last night.
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:20.770
Knowing I couldn't escape,
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:22.730
I quickly whipped myself a few times.
00:14:22.750 --> 00:14:23.850
Just enough, not too heavy.
00:14:24.870 --> 00:14:26.890
And I usually use a long whip.
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.980
So having old marks is unavoidable.
00:14:29.150 --> 00:14:30.150
Yes.
00:14:30.550 --> 00:14:32.490
At first, your mix of old and new marks
00:14:32.510 --> 00:14:33.510
did fool me.
00:14:33.670 --> 00:14:34.670
After all,
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:36.700
a woman as pretty as you
00:14:36.870 --> 00:14:38.180
is hard not to sympathize with.
00:14:38.790 --> 00:14:40.890
But you still held back too much.
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.220
Some marks were too fresh.
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:44.010
And your room
00:14:44.150 --> 00:14:45.730
was decorated far too femininely.
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.060
So you hid the direction of the tracks,
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:49.820
keeping us from finding the grain.
00:14:50.870 --> 00:14:52.580
You think you can stall us?
00:14:52.670 --> 00:14:55.220
Ask my whip if it agrees.
00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:26.120
Don't come closer.
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:28.530
One more step and I'll kill her!
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:38.720
Stop him.
00:15:38.750 --> 00:15:39.980
I'll give you three days' worth of food.
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:40.700
Don't come closer.
00:15:40.910 --> 00:15:41.910
Back off!
00:15:42.270 --> 00:15:43.700
To them,
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:46.730
you're just meat that
can fill a starving wolf.
00:15:46.790 --> 00:15:47.980
They won't let go.
00:15:49.030 --> 00:15:50.180
You're kind-hearted,
00:15:51.030 --> 00:15:52.980
so will you kill these refugees to escape
00:15:54.030 --> 00:15:55.420
or surrender?
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:02.730
Who are you?
00:16:02.910 --> 00:16:04.340
Ling Jueding's subordinate?
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.640
Do you know the punishment
for stealing military grain?
00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:14.650
You seem bold and shrewd.
00:16:14.670 --> 00:16:15.670
And you fight well.
00:16:17.270 --> 00:16:19.300
Why don't you work for me?
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.890
Maybe I can persuade
my brother to spare you.
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:25.820
You have quite the temper.
00:16:26.030 --> 00:16:27.460
But I'd like to see
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:28.530
if you're still this tough
00:16:28.670 --> 00:16:30.300
when you meet my brother.
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.250
Winning and losing are part of war.
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:40.300
I just want that darn emperor
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:41.700
to feel miserable.
00:16:43.870 --> 00:16:44.870
Here!
00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.240
A toast to General!
00:16:52.910 --> 00:16:53.460
Kumor.
00:16:53.910 --> 00:16:55.340
Sand City's grain has been seized.
00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:56.440
What?
00:16:56.670 --> 00:16:57.670
Bring him over.
00:16:59.790 --> 00:17:00.790
It's him.
00:17:01.390 --> 00:17:02.980
He led the raid to steal the grain.
00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:17.530
This guy
00:17:18.030 --> 00:17:19.860
looks familiar.
00:17:39.790 --> 00:17:40.810
I remember now.
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:42.620
You shot an arrow at me
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:44.980
on the day of the siege.
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:52.380
You've got guts.
00:17:52.790 --> 00:17:54.860
How dare you steal my rations?
00:17:56.270 --> 00:17:57.530
You're about to die,
00:17:57.550 --> 00:17:58.700
yet you can still smile?
00:17:59.590 --> 00:18:01.050
If one life
00:18:01.590 --> 00:18:04.050
can force a general to run out of supplies,
00:18:05.070 --> 00:18:06.010
it's worth it.
00:18:06.030 --> 00:18:07.030
You...
00:18:07.550 --> 00:18:09.730
If you can tell me where the grain is...
00:18:10.030 --> 00:18:12.420
I suppose it's already in Jiangzhou's camp.
00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:15.010
Drag him away.
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:16.696
Kill him and use him as
a sacrifice to the war flag.
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:17.720
Yes.
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.240
Your Majesty.
00:18:53.310 --> 00:18:54.310
Are you alright?
00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:58.400
I'm fine.
00:18:59.070 --> 00:19:00.250
I just
00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:01.419
had a nightmare.
00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:04.509
[Pure and Spotless]
00:19:04.510 --> 00:19:05.510
Speaking of,
00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:06.840
why is today's battle report
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:08.050
still not here?
00:19:09.350 --> 00:19:11.290
I'll urge Commander Li again.
00:19:43.550 --> 00:19:45.460
Bring all Great Qi prisoners.
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:47.700
Kill them as sacrifice to the war flag!
00:19:47.720 --> 00:19:48.720
Yes!
00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.720
Wait!
00:20:24.110 --> 00:20:25.490
I'm the one who stole your grain.
00:20:26.070 --> 00:20:28.660
You should kill me first.
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:31.180
Winners rule, losers fall.
00:20:31.590 --> 00:20:33.220
You've fallen into my hands.
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.860
What right do you have to negotiate?
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.120
One takes responsibility
for what they've done.
00:20:39.350 --> 00:20:41.620
This whole grain raid had
nothing to do with them.
00:20:45.330 --> 00:20:47.870
I've long heard General Kumor was brave.
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:49.720
Could it be
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:52.290
you're just a coward
who slaughters innocents?
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.050
Since you have a death wish,
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.770
I'll personally send you on your way!
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:41.250
Good.
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:42.480
Again!
00:22:11.160 --> 00:22:12.160
Phoenix Seal?
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:14.420
Why would Phoenix Seal be on me?
00:22:58.310 --> 00:22:59.900
So you're a woman.
00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:12.220
[Empress's Seal]
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:17.380
Keep a close eye on her!
00:23:20.640 --> 00:23:21.220
Kumor.
00:23:21.270 --> 00:23:22.270
What about the sacrifice?
00:23:22.350 --> 00:23:23.350
We're not doing it.
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:24.720
I'm keeping
00:23:25.070 --> 00:23:26.700
this woman.
00:23:28.830 --> 00:23:29.570
Then...
00:23:29.590 --> 00:23:30.660
What about the grain?
00:23:31.750 --> 00:23:34.250
With this generous gift
from the Emperor of Great Qi,
00:23:34.310 --> 00:23:35.590
why would we fear lacking grain?
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:38.380
I fear even this war
00:23:38.640 --> 00:23:40.420
may soon come to an end.
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:43.620
What you're holding isn't mine.
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:44.920
Don't overthink it.
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:47.490
Take her away!
00:23:47.510 --> 00:23:48.510
Yes!
00:23:58.340 --> 00:24:00.860
[Empress's Seal]
00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:02.400
Your Majesty.
00:24:04.750 --> 00:24:05.730
The battle report has arrived.
00:24:05.750 --> 00:24:07.090
There's also a letter from Kumor.
00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:24.979
[Your empress is in my hands.]
00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:27.980
[Empress's Seal]
00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:32.660
Your Majesty.
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:33.680
What happened?
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:35.460
The Empress's Phoenix Seal...
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:37.770
Your Majesty, rest assured.
00:24:37.790 --> 00:24:39.290
If Kumor saw the Phoenix Seal,
00:24:39.310 --> 00:24:41.010
he would never dare harm Her Majesty.
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:43.140
Kumor thinks
00:24:43.350 --> 00:24:44.660
capturing my empress
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:46.010
gives him a chance.
00:24:46.510 --> 00:24:48.290
I would like to see clearly
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:50.730
whether this is my downfall
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.860
or Xijiang's turning point.
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:36.680
Your Majesty.
00:25:36.750 --> 00:25:38.050
When the palace gates opened this morning,
00:25:38.070 --> 00:25:40.190
Grand Tutor Ling is already
waiting outside the hall.
00:25:40.270 --> 00:25:42.090
He said he has urgent matters to discuss.
00:25:42.830 --> 00:25:44.330
Should Your Majesty summon him in?
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:46.720
Prepare to go to Nanrong Palace.
00:25:46.830 --> 00:25:47.460
Your Majesty.
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:48.860
You didn't sleep at all last night.
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:50.570
Should you rest for a while first?
00:25:50.590 --> 00:25:51.590
No need.
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:53.490
My time is running out.
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:25.880
Preceptor Du.
00:26:27.030 --> 00:26:28.030
You're distracted.
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:36.980
Your board
00:26:37.350 --> 00:26:38.660
is a bit chaotic.
00:26:39.510 --> 00:26:40.660
I'm most apprehensive.
00:26:44.830 --> 00:26:45.830
It's your move.
00:26:59.270 --> 00:27:00.270
I heard
00:27:01.030 --> 00:27:01.860
Ling Xuefeng is already
00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.006
waiting outside Wuying Hall
for Your Majesty this morning.
00:27:04.030 --> 00:27:06.150
There must be emergency
military news from Jiangzhou.
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:08.720
Yet Your Majesty
00:27:09.830 --> 00:27:11.330
came to play chess with me instead.
00:27:13.030 --> 00:27:15.530
Kumor has captured my empress.
00:27:15.750 --> 00:27:16.750
The empress?
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:21.810
Her Majesty is the Empress.
00:27:22.310 --> 00:27:23.420
She fell into enemy hands.
00:27:24.030 --> 00:27:25.380
The war situation is unsettled.
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:26.860
One wrong move,
00:27:27.110 --> 00:27:28.700
and everything is lost.
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:31.180
What do you think?
00:27:31.830 --> 00:27:33.940
How should I play this move?
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:37.680
I'm dull-witted.
00:27:38.030 --> 00:27:39.030
I dare not speak rashly.
00:27:41.030 --> 00:27:43.140
I intend to go to Xijiang myself
00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:44.660
and negotiate with Kumor.
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:46.220
What do you think?
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:47.240
No.
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:53.700
This empire's fate
00:27:53.960 --> 00:27:55.380
rests entirely on Your Majesty.
00:27:56.590 --> 00:27:58.530
You must not leave the
palace at such a time.
00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.620
Going alone into danger
00:28:01.790 --> 00:28:03.620
will cause unthinkable consequences.
00:28:04.830 --> 00:28:06.290
In your opinion,
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:08.250
who would be suitable?
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:10.680
If Your Majesty wishes for peace talks
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:12.090
to save Jiangzhou,
00:28:13.550 --> 00:28:15.140
the envoy
00:28:15.590 --> 00:28:18.940
must hold status and authority in court.
00:28:20.350 --> 00:28:22.940
Grand Tutor Ling has
been waiting outside the hall,
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:25.700
and Xiao Qianqing is in the Capital.
00:28:26.350 --> 00:28:28.090
If Grand Tutor Ling goes,
00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:30.440
whether it's out of
concern for his daughter
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:33.290
or to protect Ling Jueding's
command in Jiangzhou,
00:28:34.030 --> 00:28:37.010
it would harm the interests of Great Qi.
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:41.570
Xiao Qianqing is ambitious and ruthless.
00:28:42.270 --> 00:28:43.980
If he colludes with Kumor
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:46.140
and Jiangzhou falls,
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:47.960
Your Majesty's life would be in danger.
00:28:58.590 --> 00:29:01.620
I, Du Tingxin, am willing to serve
as the imperial envoy to Xijiang
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.050
to go on Your Majesty's
behalf to the rebel's camp
00:29:04.070 --> 00:29:05.330
and negotiate with Kumor.
00:29:08.070 --> 00:29:09.570
You're righteous
00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:11.620
to resolve the crisis for me.
00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:15.180
Before you depart,
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:17.570
I wish to request something.
00:29:25.510 --> 00:29:26.510
Everything I have
00:29:27.110 --> 00:29:28.420
was given by Your Majesty.
00:29:29.510 --> 00:29:30.860
Whatever you desire,
00:29:31.350 --> 00:29:32.420
I will give
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:34.400
whatever I have without hesitation.
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:39.000
Yushu Pill.
00:29:39.270 --> 00:29:40.270
Yushu Pill?
00:29:43.790 --> 00:29:45.330
Yushu Pill is potent.
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:47.140
While it can forcibly suppress cold poison,
00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:48.530
it's only temporary.
00:29:48.550 --> 00:29:49.250
It may even accelerate...
00:29:49.270 --> 00:29:50.270
I know
00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:52.940
it could hasten my death.
00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:57.000
But Great Qi is facing
internal and external crises.
00:29:57.350 --> 00:29:59.250
I must endure this period.
00:29:59.270 --> 00:30:00.810
I cannot afford any mistakes.
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:01.980
If my body
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:03.900
suffers any mishap,
00:30:04.110 --> 00:30:06.050
do you think Ling Xuefeng and Xiao Qianqing
00:30:06.310 --> 00:30:07.490
will spare me?
00:30:10.030 --> 00:30:11.700
Since you know,
00:30:13.070 --> 00:30:14.140
why
00:30:15.240 --> 00:30:17.770
give the life-saving
medicine to Her Majesty?
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:25.680
Preceptor Du.
00:30:26.510 --> 00:30:27.700
You've overstepped.
00:30:37.110 --> 00:30:38.110
Rise.
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.090
I know you've always
00:30:40.310 --> 00:30:41.570
been loyal to me.
00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:44.480
In that case,
00:30:45.790 --> 00:30:47.140
give me Yushu Pill.
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:49.420
During this period,
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:50.770
you must not use inner force.
00:31:51.240 --> 00:31:52.730
I will do my utmost
00:31:52.790 --> 00:31:54.490
to find a cure for you.
00:31:56.750 --> 00:31:58.220
If the poison reaches the heart,
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.090
I fear even I can't do anything.
00:32:02.270 --> 00:32:03.270
Very well.
00:32:06.310 --> 00:32:07.310
Your Majesty.
00:32:09.350 --> 00:32:10.350
I'm fine.
00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:12.490
You need not worry.
00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:14.480
This time,
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:16.530
your mission to Xijiang
00:32:17.440 --> 00:32:18.570
must succeed.
00:32:36.790 --> 00:32:38.510
How long has Grand Tutor Ling been waiting?
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:40.380
Your Majesty.
00:32:40.510 --> 00:32:41.900
It has already been six hours.
00:32:42.830 --> 00:32:43.830
Very well.
00:32:44.510 --> 00:32:45.730
Let him continue to wait.
00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:15.160
Shi Yan.
00:33:15.540 --> 00:33:17.050
Take Xiaoxing Guards to Xijiang
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:17.980
and find a way
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:19.620
to investigate Kumor's camp.
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:21.320
Search for any trace of the Empress.
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.090
Leave no clue
00:33:23.110 --> 00:33:24.140
unexamined.
00:33:24.790 --> 00:33:25.790
Yes.
00:33:27.580 --> 00:33:28.789
[Wuying Hall]
00:33:28.790 --> 00:33:30.570
You're in such a hurry to see me.
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:31.900
What's the matter?
00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:33.240
Your Majesty.
00:33:33.960 --> 00:33:36.620
Her Majesty has been recuperating
at the outer palace for days.
00:33:36.830 --> 00:33:38.530
I'm very concerned
00:33:38.750 --> 00:33:39.910
and wish to visit her.
00:33:40.200 --> 00:33:42.420
I hope you will grant permission.
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:45.330
The Empress's condition
has worsened recently,
00:33:45.710 --> 00:33:46.936
making it inconvenient for visitors.
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:48.180
Is it inconvenient
00:33:48.460 --> 00:33:49.540
or impossible?
00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:55.660
Why do you say so?
00:33:56.800 --> 00:33:58.410
Have you heard some rumor?
00:33:59.600 --> 00:34:00.930
Since Your Majesty
00:34:01.470 --> 00:34:03.340
does not wish to discuss the Empress,
00:34:03.510 --> 00:34:04.620
I won't press the matter.
00:34:05.190 --> 00:34:07.410
I suddenly remembered
00:34:07.670 --> 00:34:09.130
when Your Majesty suddenly fell ill
00:34:10.470 --> 00:34:11.930
before ascending the throne,
00:34:12.590 --> 00:34:14.950
and the Empress Dowager
urgently summoned me to the palace.
00:34:16.150 --> 00:34:17.570
I know this,
00:34:18.150 --> 00:34:19.970
but the Empress Dowager
had already concluded
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:21.380
that I was incapable
00:34:21.990 --> 00:34:23.700
and tried to recruit you
00:34:23.920 --> 00:34:24.920
to depose me
00:34:25.150 --> 00:34:27.010
and make Xiao Qianqing emperor.
00:34:28.510 --> 00:34:30.410
These old events are not worth mentioning.
00:34:31.030 --> 00:34:32.530
What I wish to tell you
00:34:33.710 --> 00:34:34.810
is something
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:37.300
unknown to you.
00:34:39.590 --> 00:34:41.970
Somehow,
00:34:42.150 --> 00:34:44.570
Cangcang hid in my sedan chair
00:34:44.590 --> 00:34:46.220
and entered the palace with me.
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:49.130
By some twist of fate,
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:51.490
she sneaked into Your Majesty's bedchamber.
00:35:12.510 --> 00:35:14.660
You're the Emperor
ascending the throne tomorrow?
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:28.930
How hot.
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:30.920
Cold.
00:35:31.070 --> 00:35:32.070
It's cold.
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:41.300
Is this better?
00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:43.610
Do you feel better?
00:35:46.680 --> 00:35:48.610
Am I going to die?
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:49.930
You won't die.
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:51.450
Have you forgotten?
00:35:51.470 --> 00:35:53.300
You're ascending the throne tomorrow.
00:35:55.240 --> 00:35:56.240
Really?
00:35:57.070 --> 00:35:58.740
Can I really ascend the throne?
00:35:58.950 --> 00:35:59.950
Of course.
00:36:00.110 --> 00:36:01.970
You're the chosen one,
00:36:02.070 --> 00:36:04.090
destined to be the Emperor of Great Qi.
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:06.410
With a sweeping gesture of your sleeves,
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:08.380
you rule the world
00:36:08.550 --> 00:36:10.220
and command respect from all sides.
00:36:14.720 --> 00:36:16.490
Rule the world
00:36:17.110 --> 00:36:18.740
and command respect from all sides.
00:36:39.200 --> 00:36:40.600
Later, I
00:36:41.110 --> 00:36:43.060
finally found Cangcang.
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:46.180
On the way home,
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:47.450
she told me
00:36:50.200 --> 00:36:52.220
you're the chosen one.
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:54.860
I had been hesitating.
00:36:55.110 --> 00:36:56.410
Upon hearing this,
00:36:57.200 --> 00:36:58.570
I suddenly
00:36:59.200 --> 00:37:00.909
became determined
00:37:00.910 --> 00:37:02.260
and believed that the two of you
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:04.410
are a match made in heaven.
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:07.450
I never expected
00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:10.050
you share such a deep
bond with your daughter.
00:37:10.950 --> 00:37:12.780
Even your decision to support me
00:37:13.070 --> 00:37:16.050
was because of a playful remark
the Empress made in her youth.
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:18.970
If the Empress hadn't been poisoned,
00:37:19.240 --> 00:37:20.240
and the poison
00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:22.090
wasn't coincidentally
00:37:22.110 --> 00:37:24.180
in the pear blossom honey you sent,
00:37:24.430 --> 00:37:25.930
I would have almost...
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:27.800
almost
00:37:27.990 --> 00:37:30.260
been moved
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:31.610
by your fatherly love.
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:33.280
Your Majesty.
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:36.300
Why such suspicion?
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:38.760
Grand Tutor Ling,
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:41.740
I'm your student.
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:43.570
You need not pretend
00:37:44.400 --> 00:37:46.820
in front of me.
00:37:47.990 --> 00:37:49.610
I no longer want to guess
00:37:50.110 --> 00:37:53.010
how much of your love for you daughter
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:54.900
is genuine
00:37:55.200 --> 00:37:56.640
and how much is mixed with ambition.
00:37:57.070 --> 00:37:58.220
But I know
00:37:58.630 --> 00:37:59.990
you value
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:02.180
command of the Jiangzhou army
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:03.700
more than the Empress's life.
00:38:05.030 --> 00:38:06.910
Ling Jueding is
straightforward and forthright.
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:10.050
If he knew his sister was
trapped in enemy territory,
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:12.700
he might risk everything
and lead troops to save her.
00:38:13.200 --> 00:38:14.010
The ministers at court
00:38:14.030 --> 00:38:15.970
are all keeping an eye on Jiangzhou's war.
00:38:16.030 --> 00:38:18.050
If he makes even a single mistake,
00:38:18.590 --> 00:38:19.900
he could lose
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:21.740
his position as general.
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:23.610
Do you
00:38:25.150 --> 00:38:28.010
have no genuine feeling
for Her Majesty at all?
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:31.840
I plan
00:38:32.510 --> 00:38:34.260
to send word to Kumor
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:36.680
that Phoenix Seal has been stolen.
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.050
Do you think Kumor will believe it?
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:41.860
As long as everyone else does,
00:38:42.240 --> 00:38:43.780
it doesn't matter if he believes it.
00:38:44.030 --> 00:38:45.340
I want him to know
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:47.860
he can't threaten me.
00:38:52.640 --> 00:38:56.010
Without her status as the Empress,
00:38:57.180 --> 00:38:59.700
Kumor would kill her without hesitation.
00:38:59.720 --> 00:39:01.340
If he kills Cangcang,
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:05.260
Jueding will surely slaughter Xijiang.
00:39:05.720 --> 00:39:06.720
If he wins,
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:08.610
you can avert the crisis in Xijiang.
00:39:08.950 --> 00:39:09.950
If he loses,
00:39:11.470 --> 00:39:15.260
you can reclaim command
of the Jiangzhou army.
00:39:19.880 --> 00:39:21.740
If you dislike this,
00:39:22.150 --> 00:39:23.490
I have another plan.
00:39:25.470 --> 00:39:26.470
I will
00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:28.260
personally go to Xijiang,
00:39:28.590 --> 00:39:30.010
negotiate with Kumor,
00:39:30.470 --> 00:39:31.820
and bring the Empress back.
00:39:32.200 --> 00:39:33.200
Your Majesty.
00:39:33.990 --> 00:39:35.220
What do you want?
00:39:35.880 --> 00:39:37.280
During my absence from the Capital,
00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:41.380
I want Prince of Yuzhang,
Xiao Qianqing, to act as regent.
00:39:58.070 --> 00:39:59.340
Your Majesty is wise.
00:39:59.950 --> 00:40:04.050
I will fully support Prince
of Yuzhang as regent.
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:17.180
You just heard, right?
00:40:17.550 --> 00:40:18.750
The Empress has been captured.
00:40:19.030 --> 00:40:20.660
I will personally rescue her.
00:40:21.200 --> 00:40:22.220
During this period,
00:40:22.550 --> 00:40:23.550
you will act as regent.
00:40:24.470 --> 00:40:25.930
You worry Grand Tutor Ling
00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.130
will seize control of the
court after leaving the Capital?
00:40:29.680 --> 00:40:31.610
Now that Her Majesty has been captured,
00:40:31.720 --> 00:40:33.010
you act accordingly,
00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:36.090
forcing Grand Tutor Ling
to support my regency.
00:40:36.240 --> 00:40:37.490
I'm determined to get
00:40:37.950 --> 00:40:39.340
the command of the Jiangzhou army.
00:40:44.990 --> 00:40:46.300
What if I refuse?
00:40:48.110 --> 00:40:49.490
Why refuse?
00:40:49.680 --> 00:40:51.130
I'm afraid of being plotted against
00:40:51.550 --> 00:40:53.300
and not know how I end up dying.
00:40:54.200 --> 00:40:55.490
If I tell you
00:40:56.200 --> 00:40:57.570
everything I do
00:40:57.630 --> 00:40:58.740
is for Cangcang,
00:40:59.680 --> 00:41:00.700
would you believe me?
00:41:01.240 --> 00:41:02.240
No.
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:03.849
The Jiangzhou war
00:41:03.850 --> 00:41:04.930
is unpredictable.
00:41:05.070 --> 00:41:06.350
Your imperial power is unstable,
00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:08.900
so you will personally go to Jiangzhou,
00:41:09.030 --> 00:41:10.090
defeat Kumor,
00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:11.560
and reclaim the army's command.
00:41:12.280 --> 00:41:13.930
Every step of your plan
00:41:14.590 --> 00:41:16.260
is for your imperial power.
00:41:19.070 --> 00:41:20.070
Yes.
00:41:21.030 --> 00:41:22.780
My throne was hard-won,
00:41:23.150 --> 00:41:24.450
so I must protect it.
00:41:25.510 --> 00:41:26.570
But this time,
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:29.410
you're closer to my throne than ever.
00:41:29.990 --> 00:41:31.380
If I were you,
00:41:31.590 --> 00:41:33.970
I would cherish this opportunity.
00:41:40.720 --> 00:41:41.720
Alright.
00:41:41.990 --> 00:41:42.990
I...
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:49.450
I thank
00:41:49.720 --> 00:41:51.050
Your Majesty for your grace.
00:41:52.070 --> 00:41:53.590
Prince of Yuzhang, receive the decree.
00:41:53.680 --> 00:41:54.450
I am ready.
00:41:54.630 --> 00:41:55.630
I am ill
00:41:56.030 --> 00:41:57.550
and need rest in the secondary palace.
00:41:58.280 --> 00:41:59.380
During this time,
00:41:59.590 --> 00:42:02.860
Prince of Yuzhang, Xiao
Qianqing, will act as regent.
00:42:03.110 --> 00:42:04.380
I, Xiao Qianqing, accept
00:42:04.720 --> 00:42:05.900
the decree with gratitude.
00:42:10.510 --> 00:42:11.510
Rise.
00:42:19.680 --> 00:42:20.680
You may open
00:42:20.880 --> 00:42:22.180
this pouch
00:42:22.630 --> 00:42:23.970
when the time is right.
00:42:29.030 --> 00:42:30.450
When is the time right?
00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:32.490
You'll know when the moment comes.
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:38.360
I shall take my leave.
00:42:47.590 --> 00:42:48.590
Your Majesty.
00:42:49.430 --> 00:42:51.630
Are you really giving the
regency to Prince of Yuzhang?
00:42:52.150 --> 00:42:53.630
What if he and Empress Dowager Liu...
00:42:53.990 --> 00:42:55.380
My brother
00:42:55.510 --> 00:42:56.780
is remarkably intelligent.
00:42:57.680 --> 00:42:58.680
He knows
00:42:59.150 --> 00:43:01.090
the fiercer he clashes with Grand Tutor,
00:43:01.590 --> 00:43:03.300
the easier it is for me to benefit.
00:43:04.110 --> 00:43:05.130
But he also knows
00:43:05.550 --> 00:43:07.380
I placed him in this position
00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:09.260
so that he can't avoid conflict.
00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:11.410
Any mistake
00:43:12.030 --> 00:43:13.700
could make him
00:43:13.720 --> 00:43:15.380
completely devoured by the opponent,
00:43:16.150 --> 00:43:17.490
but I chose him
00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:19.300
for another reason.
00:43:19.430 --> 00:43:20.660
What is that?
00:43:21.070 --> 00:43:22.070
I trust
00:43:22.760 --> 00:43:25.220
this brother still has a conscience.
00:43:25.510 --> 00:43:28.450
He would never ignore the people of Xuzhou.
