[Adapted from the novel
"My Queen" by Xie Lounan]
00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:32.980
[Episode 21]
00:01:53.510 --> 00:01:54.900
I didn't expect Xiao Huan
00:01:55.070 --> 00:01:56.540
to be such a romantic.
00:01:57.110 --> 00:01:58.110
Don't move.
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:00.980
How could this happen?
00:02:01.430 --> 00:02:02.490
Sorry to disappoint you.
00:02:02.510 --> 00:02:03.660
I've woken up.
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.410
This can't be!
00:02:25.310 --> 00:02:27.610
How could my
Illusion-Butterfly Powder fail?
00:02:28.750 --> 00:02:31.500
How is it that you're both standing here?
00:02:34.870 --> 00:02:36.450
The Frost Reed can cure any poison.
00:02:37.030 --> 00:02:38.030
It seems
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.760
your investigation wasn't thorough enough.
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:49.560
Cangcang!
00:02:49.750 --> 00:02:50.540
Zhong Lin!
00:02:50.750 --> 00:02:51.570
Are you all right?
00:02:51.590 --> 00:02:52.340
We're fine.
00:02:52.470 --> 00:02:54.060
Thanks to the Puppet Incense
that Xiao Qianqing brought,
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:55.340
we managed to control one of the servants.
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:55.980
Good.
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:57.280
The antidote. Quickly.
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:03.520
Let's go.
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:13.730
Release the branch leader.
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:15.446
And we'll leave you
both with intact bodies!
00:03:15.470 --> 00:03:16.570
Clear the way.
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:18.800
Make way.
00:03:19.750 --> 00:03:20.750
Hurry!
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:00.170
Xiao Huan,
00:04:00.310 --> 00:04:01.780
do you really think you can escape?
00:04:02.590 --> 00:04:04.170
I'll give you one more chance.
00:04:04.470 --> 00:04:06.570
Hand over the Moon-Eclipse,
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.570
or I'll make sure all of
you lose your senses
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:11.380
and perish with your meridians severed.
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:16.800
Zhong Lin.
00:04:19.430 --> 00:04:20.430
Insolent.
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:26.040
Protector, have mercy!
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:27.540
I only sought to present
00:04:27.750 --> 00:04:29.290
the Moon-Eclipse to you.
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:30.480
Is that so?
00:04:30.850 --> 00:04:32.010
My sources tell me you intend
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.490
to become the Ghost King yourself.
00:04:54.630 --> 00:04:55.630
Die!
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:14.700
Luo Xianxue?
00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:09.750
Luo.
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.170
I'm glad you're safe.
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:43.800
That day,
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.240
I watched you be engulfed
in flames with my own eyes.
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:48.340
Father sent someone to retrieve your body,
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:50.880
and they found a
severed finger on it as well.
00:06:50.950 --> 00:06:51.730
I thought
00:06:51.750 --> 00:06:53.220
I'd never see you again.
00:06:53.310 --> 00:06:55.020
How did you escape?
00:06:55.390 --> 00:06:57.100
There was a cellar in the liquor storage.
00:06:58.070 --> 00:06:59.070
I hid there
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.730
and barely survived.
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:04.480
You never came
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.170
looking for me.
00:07:09.870 --> 00:07:10.870
I knew
00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.370
His Majesty saw me as a thorn in his side.
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.220
If I appeared recklessly,
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:17.490
I'd only bring you trouble.
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:19.360
So,
00:07:19.870 --> 00:07:20.870
I planned
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:22.100
to wander the world.
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.290
And now you've appeared out of nowhere.
00:07:27.830 --> 00:07:29.340
Do you intend to assassinate him?
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.040
Why?
00:07:36.310 --> 00:07:37.370
I don't want
00:07:39.190 --> 00:07:40.460
to see you hurt,
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:42.720
suffering,
00:07:43.870 --> 00:07:45.030
or endangered because of him.
00:07:46.750 --> 00:07:47.750
Cangcang,
00:07:48.310 --> 00:07:49.540
he's your tribulation.
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.480
Don't let yourself get
entangled with him anymore.
00:07:53.830 --> 00:07:55.340
If you can't make up your mind,
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:56.720
I can help.
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:01.560
Luo,
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:03.460
so much has happened
00:08:03.630 --> 00:08:05.460
between him and me since you left.
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:07.540
It's not
00:08:07.950 --> 00:08:09.540
as simple as you think.
00:08:10.070 --> 00:08:11.780
Even I didn't expect some things.
00:08:14.190 --> 00:08:15.190
He and I...
00:08:17.830 --> 00:08:19.730
Nobody can decide our matters for me.
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.580
I overstepped.
00:08:24.870 --> 00:08:26.220
That's not what I meant.
00:08:26.510 --> 00:08:27.610
Luo, I...
00:08:27.630 --> 00:08:28.630
Cangcang.
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:29.800
Have you forgotten?
00:08:30.950 --> 00:08:32.250
You saved my life.
00:08:32.870 --> 00:08:33.870
Protecting you
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:35.820
is my lifelong duty.
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:39.250
I don't want to see you harmed in any way.
00:08:43.030 --> 00:08:45.610
I heard they raided an
evildoer's base around here.
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.460
Many missing children were found.
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.420
Many of them were silenced.
00:08:54.550 --> 00:08:55.550
He moved!
00:09:11.790 --> 00:09:12.610
They say
00:09:12.630 --> 00:09:13.730
you're dying.
00:09:15.090 --> 00:09:15.860
I won't allow it.
00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:16.690
Luo Xianxue,
00:09:16.691 --> 00:09:17.759
you are not to die
00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:18.760
without my permission.
00:09:22.030 --> 00:09:24.580
I, Luo Xianxue, swear to the heavens.
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.010
I, Luo Xianxue, swear to the heavens.
00:09:27.030 --> 00:09:28.650
From now on, I belong to Ling Cangcang.
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.530
From now on, I belong to Ling Cangcang.
00:09:30.550 --> 00:09:31.770
No matter how hard it gets,
00:09:31.790 --> 00:09:33.180
I will stay strong
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:34.770
for Ling Cangcang.
00:09:34.790 --> 00:09:36.010
No matter how hard it gets,
00:09:36.030 --> 00:09:37.340
I will stay strong
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.940
for Ling Cangcang.
00:09:40.550 --> 00:09:41.550
Cangcang,
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.130
it's for you
00:09:43.790 --> 00:09:46.460
that I crawled my way out of that fire.
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.360
Luo,
00:09:53.550 --> 00:09:55.070
ever since you joined the Ling family,
00:09:55.270 --> 00:09:57.340
you've always been a brother to me.
00:09:57.870 --> 00:09:58.870
Do you remember
00:09:59.030 --> 00:10:01.580
the vow I made when I entered the palace?
00:10:01.790 --> 00:10:03.980
I will protect everyone in the Ling family.
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:05.420
I've never changed.
00:10:06.550 --> 00:10:07.550
It's just...
00:10:10.270 --> 00:10:11.530
With Xiao Huan,
00:10:12.790 --> 00:10:13.530
I now...
00:10:13.550 --> 00:10:14.550
So,
00:10:15.030 --> 00:10:16.370
no matter how much he hurts you,
00:10:17.630 --> 00:10:18.940
you won't hurt him back.
00:10:19.630 --> 00:10:20.630
Is that right?
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:28.320
Luo,
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:29.816
I think there are many misunderstandings
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.130
between you two.
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.650
It will take time to clear them up.
00:10:34.750 --> 00:10:35.750
All right.
00:10:36.390 --> 00:10:37.490
If that's the case,
00:10:38.390 --> 00:10:39.460
we'll talk next time.
00:10:41.790 --> 00:10:42.790
Good.
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:51.960
Cangcang,
00:10:52.510 --> 00:10:53.730
I remember you've always loved
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.640
pear blossom honey since you were little.
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:57.000
I brought some
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:58.650
especially for you.
00:10:59.630 --> 00:11:00.630
I didn't expect
00:11:01.030 --> 00:11:02.650
you still remember after all this time.
00:11:03.270 --> 00:11:04.270
Of course.
00:11:19.030 --> 00:11:20.030
Try it while it's warm.
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.300
It's the taste I remember.
00:12:11.790 --> 00:12:12.790
It's been...
00:12:15.550 --> 00:12:16.550
It's been...
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:19.480
Cangcang!
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:19.720
Luo Xianxue.
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:21.980
I know why you came.
00:13:22.790 --> 00:13:24.580
If you really wanted to be dead,
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:26.100
you wouldn't show up.
00:13:26.510 --> 00:13:27.770
Let's cut the chatter.
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:29.700
Hand over the Moon-Eclipse
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.490
and face your fate.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:34.530
Do you know what you're saying?
00:13:35.030 --> 00:13:36.030
There will be
00:13:36.630 --> 00:13:37.700
a battle between us.
00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.060
Have you thought about
00:13:40.550 --> 00:13:41.850
what will happen to Cangcang?
00:13:41.870 --> 00:13:42.890
I will never hurt her.
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:44.460
You already have.
00:13:45.030 --> 00:13:46.460
You know Ling Xuefeng is using you
00:13:46.510 --> 00:13:47.590
to rebuild the Lingbi Sect,
00:13:47.790 --> 00:13:49.650
yet you willingly serve as his dog.
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.100
You know how Cangcang feels about me,
00:13:52.550 --> 00:13:54.530
yet you help Ling Xuefeng to kill me.
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:56.120
What do you expect
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.370
Cangcang to think or do?
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:02.850
Enough talk.
00:14:03.030 --> 00:14:04.030
Fight me!
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.600
Stop!
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:12.980
Cangcang...
00:14:13.030 --> 00:14:14.030
You lied to me.
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:16.296
You weren't supposed to be...
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.160
I've used inner force to remove the
sedative in the pear blossom honey.
00:14:19.270 --> 00:14:21.100
Your "death" was flawless.
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.980
You couldn't have done it alone.
00:14:26.030 --> 00:14:27.490
What's really going on?
00:14:29.550 --> 00:14:30.550
Cangcang,
00:14:31.550 --> 00:14:32.940
you and Father
00:14:33.550 --> 00:14:34.770
saved my life.
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:36.320
I must obey
00:14:37.150 --> 00:14:38.370
his command.
00:14:38.790 --> 00:14:39.790
My father?
00:14:41.510 --> 00:14:42.870
What order did my father give you?
00:14:44.270 --> 00:14:45.270
He must die
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:47.010
today.
00:14:47.750 --> 00:14:48.610
You won't succeed!
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.490
Cangcang,
00:14:49.550 --> 00:14:50.550
move aside!
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:57.250
The Xiaoxing Guards
are already lying in wait.
00:14:57.750 --> 00:14:59.340
You can't do anything to me.
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:08.120
Luo Xianxue,

00:15:12.270 --> 00:15:13.300
But sadly,
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:15.650
you're a fool.
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.700
Do you know what Grand Tutor Ling has done?
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:21.940
Whatever he does,
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:23.820
it's all for the Ling clan
00:15:24.390 --> 00:15:25.390
and Cangcang.
00:15:25.790 --> 00:15:26.790
Is it?
00:15:27.270 --> 00:15:28.530
Do you know Grand Tutor Ling
00:15:28.550 --> 00:15:30.850
poisoned Ling Cangcang to force His Majesty
00:15:31.030 --> 00:15:33.100
to give her the cure?
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.220
Were his actions really
for Ling Cangcang's sake?
00:15:41.270 --> 00:15:42.270
What?
00:15:45.550 --> 00:15:46.550
My father...
00:15:52.510 --> 00:15:53.530
Was it
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:55.850
the pear blossom honey?
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.486
Grand Tutor Ling brought
this pear blossom honey today.
00:15:58.510 --> 00:15:59.939
I added four spoonfuls as instructed.

00:18:08.350 --> 00:18:09.660
will be merciful
00:18:10.030 --> 00:18:11.030

We welcome the return of
His Majesty and Her Majesty.
00:20:55.070 --> 00:20:56.810
It's been a while, everyone.
00:20:57.310 --> 00:20:58.620
I hope all has been well.
00:21:03.590 --> 00:21:04.980
I dare to ask,
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.730
Your Highness, how much longer
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:10.420
will you govern on behalf of His Majesty?
00:21:12.790 --> 00:21:13.790
Well...
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:17.180
His Majesty's health has greatly improved
00:21:17.510 --> 00:21:19.250
but still requires rest.
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.420
You'll have to deal with
me for a while longer,
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:23.940
Grand Tutor Ling.
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.460
His Majesty and Her Majesty
share a deep and enduring love.
00:21:27.510 --> 00:21:29.770
It is a blessing for Great Qi.
00:21:29.830 --> 00:21:30.900
Enough of these words.
00:21:31.590 --> 00:21:32.900
Save them
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:35.330
for when His Majesty
returns from the outer palace
00:21:35.350 --> 00:21:36.810
to hear it himself.
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:40.490
Now, let us discuss
the situation in Xuzhou.
00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:42.460
The disaster in Xuzhou
00:21:43.070 --> 00:21:45.050
has been temporarily contained.
00:21:45.830 --> 00:21:48.380
Sadly, Song Lanxi
00:21:48.830 --> 00:21:49.900
was killed.
00:21:50.350 --> 00:21:52.330
Mr. Song was killed?
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:53.720
Mr. Li,
00:21:54.350 --> 00:21:55.980
I have failed you.
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:04.700
Lanxi sacrificed himself for the country.
00:22:04.830 --> 00:22:08.220
I pray Your Highness will investigate
the culprits behind the unrest.
00:22:08.310 --> 00:22:09.330
Rest assured.
00:22:09.790 --> 00:22:11.810
It is my duty.
00:22:15.070 --> 00:22:16.070
That said,
00:22:16.400 --> 00:22:18.660
the position of Governor
of Xuzhou remains vacant.
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:22.090
There is no suitable candidate in Xuzhou.
00:22:22.310 --> 00:22:24.180
From what I know,
00:22:25.270 --> 00:22:27.420
the former Governor
00:22:27.790 --> 00:22:30.700
was once under Grand Tutor Ling's tutelage.
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:32.480
Might you have
00:22:32.680 --> 00:22:35.180
any suggestions
00:22:35.790 --> 00:22:36.810
for the new Governor,
00:22:37.350 --> 00:22:38.810
Grand Tutor Ling?
00:22:39.070 --> 00:22:40.810
I never expected
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:42.730
the Governor of Xuzhou
00:22:43.270 --> 00:22:46.420
to commit such unforgivable acts!
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.010
He ignored my warnings.
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.770
It brings shame upon me.
00:22:56.310 --> 00:22:57.310
Indeed.
00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:59.940
I was also taken aback.
00:23:03.310 --> 00:23:04.310
Mr. Li,
00:23:04.590 --> 00:23:06.090
you've returned to court.
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.330
I entrust you to recommend
00:23:08.590 --> 00:23:09.980
a governor for Xuzhou.
00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:12.250
Yes, Your Highness.
00:23:18.510 --> 00:23:19.250
My Lord,
00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:21.880
His Majesty and Her Majesty
have arrived at the outer palace.
00:23:25.510 --> 00:23:27.770
Still no word from Xianxue?
00:23:28.350 --> 00:23:29.350
No.
00:23:35.790 --> 00:23:38.770
We grew up together.
00:23:39.310 --> 00:23:43.220
My mission is to protect Cangcang.
00:23:43.790 --> 00:23:45.090
But now,
00:23:45.270 --> 00:23:46.730
she no longer needs your protection.
00:23:46.790 --> 00:23:47.660
Who said that?
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:48.680
His Majesty.
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:55.530
Then what am I to do?
00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:56.980
Do whatever

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:53.240
No.

00:29:08.670 --> 00:29:09.900
I was the one who was wrong.
00:29:12.560 --> 00:29:14.210
I thought I was protecting you,
00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:17.860
yet I brought you nothing but harm.

00:29:34.470 --> 00:29:36.690

00:31:11.360 --> 00:31:11.860
Your Majesty,
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:12.780
I'll announce your arrival right away.
00:31:12.800 --> 00:31:13.800
Don't bother.
00:31:14.270 --> 00:31:15.410
The Emperor returned
00:31:15.750 --> 00:31:17.140
to court today.
00:31:17.560 --> 00:31:20.410
Yet, my son still has the nerve
to sleep soundly in his residence.
00:31:20.430 --> 00:31:21.140
Your Majesty,
00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:22.170
please mind your health.
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.970
What...
00:31:45.190 --> 00:31:46.210
Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:31:47.950 --> 00:31:49.140
Where did you come from?
00:31:50.430 --> 00:31:51.490
Dishevelled
00:31:52.080 --> 00:31:53.140
and sneaking about.
00:31:53.360 --> 00:31:55.440
What are you doing at the
Prince of Yuzhang's manor?
00:31:57.080 --> 00:31:58.540
The night was young,
00:31:58.800 --> 00:31:59.880
and we made merry together.
00:32:00.670 --> 00:32:01.670
What else
00:32:01.990 --> 00:32:03.250
did you think we did?
00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:04.600
You...
00:32:06.190 --> 00:32:07.190
Your Majesty.
00:32:08.750 --> 00:32:09.750
Your Majesty.
00:32:12.420 --> 00:32:13.120
[Linghe Hall]
00:32:13.121 --> 00:32:14.730
We welcome Her Majesty's return.
00:33:00.660 --> 00:33:03.779
[Fate's rise and fall heed no one's will]
00:33:03.780 --> 00:33:07.740
[Where fate is sown, the
heart makes its own choice]
00:33:18.540 --> 00:33:20.620
[Where fate is sown, the
heart makes its own choice]
00:33:21.190 --> 00:33:21.860
Look at mine.
00:33:22.030 --> 00:33:23.030
See how high it is.
00:33:24.190 --> 00:33:25.190
Mine's higher.
00:33:25.510 --> 00:33:26.510
Zhong Lin,
00:33:26.800 --> 00:33:27.780
you brought me out of the palace.
00:33:27.800 --> 00:33:29.360
Is there something you want to tell me?
00:33:31.190 --> 00:33:32.190
I...
00:33:33.710 --> 00:33:34.710
Cangcang.
00:33:36.230 --> 00:33:37.230
You...
00:33:50.030 --> 00:33:51.340
What do you want to say?
00:33:53.600 --> 00:33:54.600
Nothing.
00:33:54.950 --> 00:33:56.820
You seemed to be in low spirits,
00:33:57.360 --> 00:33:59.480
so I thought a kite flying
outing might cheer you up.
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:03.880
Cangcang,
00:34:04.400 --> 00:34:06.540
you've seemed unhappy lately.
00:34:06.750 --> 00:34:07.780
What's troubling you?
00:34:13.030 --> 00:34:14.340
I was thinking about my father.
00:34:14.990 --> 00:34:15.990
Grand Tutor Ling?
00:34:22.200 --> 00:34:24.090
Since our return from Jiangzhou
00:34:24.110 --> 00:34:25.610
and after meeting Luo Xianxue,
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:27.340
you've been acting strangely.
00:34:27.680 --> 00:34:28.930
What happened?
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:32.970
It wasn't until today
00:34:33.840 --> 00:34:35.860
that I pieced everything together.
00:34:37.070 --> 00:34:38.300
It turns out
00:34:39.200 --> 00:34:40.860
the mastermind behind all this
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:42.800
was him.
00:34:46.470 --> 00:34:48.380
Xiao Huan never told me
00:34:48.510 --> 00:34:50.260
about everything my father did.
00:34:52.950 --> 00:34:53.950
I think
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:55.740
he wanted to protect me
00:34:56.990 --> 00:34:58.630
and feared I wouldn't be able to bear it.
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:02.360
These past few days, I've been thinking.
00:35:04.550 --> 00:35:06.010
When did Father
00:35:07.240 --> 00:35:08.740
who cared for
00:35:09.880 --> 00:35:11.410
and protected me so much change?
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:14.450
How could he do such things?
00:35:17.550 --> 00:35:18.550
Cangcang,
00:35:19.110 --> 00:35:20.780
you're his only daughter.
00:35:21.150 --> 00:35:22.740
He must love you.
00:35:26.200 --> 00:35:27.200
But how much
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:30.490
of that love is genuine
00:35:31.670 --> 00:35:33.110
and how much is self-serving,
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:36.820
I can no longer tell.
00:35:39.030 --> 00:35:40.030
He was certain
00:35:40.990 --> 00:35:43.050
Xiao Huan would use
the Frost Reed to save me.
00:35:44.030 --> 00:35:46.090
If I could successfully carry a child,
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:48.570
he could support my child
00:35:49.200 --> 00:35:50.300
to ascend the throne.
00:35:53.110 --> 00:35:53.610
So
00:35:53.990 --> 00:35:55.700
What do we do now?
00:35:57.110 --> 00:35:59.050
The Grand Tutor has set his mind to this...
00:35:59.920 --> 00:36:01.600
What does His Majesty plan to do with him?
00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:03.970
Caught between the two,
00:36:04.430 --> 00:36:05.900
what should you do?
00:36:07.430 --> 00:36:09.010
Xiao Huan is a wise ruler of Great Qi.
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:11.410
He is a good emperor for the people.
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:15.880
To protect Great Qi,
00:36:17.990 --> 00:36:19.110
the stability of the nation,
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:21.080
and the well-being of the people,
00:36:21.990 --> 00:36:23.860
I must stand alongside Xiao Huan
00:36:24.630 --> 00:36:25.740
as his equal.
00:36:27.200 --> 00:36:28.260
As for my father...
00:36:32.680 --> 00:36:33.700
I only hope
00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:36.010
he can still change his ways.
00:36:38.550 --> 00:36:40.740
But I haven't figured
out how to face him yet.
00:36:43.030 --> 00:36:44.030
Cangcang,
00:36:44.630 --> 00:36:45.630
he will.
00:36:46.110 --> 00:36:47.570
The Grand Tutor surely will.
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:53.760
Shall we go
00:36:53.950 --> 00:36:55.380
fly kites?
00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:56.260
Don't dwell on it.
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:58.930
Let all these worries and sorrows
00:36:58.950 --> 00:37:00.380
fly away like kites.
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:01.400
All right?
00:37:02.240 --> 00:37:02.700
Come on.
00:37:02.990 --> 00:37:03.990
Come on!
00:37:08.630 --> 00:37:10.010
That boy runs fast.
00:37:10.030 --> 00:37:11.030
Yes.
00:37:11.430 --> 00:37:12.090
- Be careful. - Careful.
00:37:12.090 --> 00:37:13.090
Wait for me!
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:16.410
It flies so high!
00:37:20.860 --> 00:37:22.359
[Taiji Hall]
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:23.130
Today,
00:37:23.240 --> 00:37:24.970
I wish to discuss
00:37:25.240 --> 00:37:27.680
the abolition of the status
verification system in Jiangzhou.
00:37:27.720 --> 00:37:28.720
In addition,
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:31.440
to implement temporary centralized
status verification nationwide
00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:33.120
and gradually abolish the system.
00:37:33.920 --> 00:37:34.920
Does anyone
00:37:35.110 --> 00:37:36.300
have objections?
00:37:47.150 --> 00:37:48.150
Your Majesty,
00:37:48.240 --> 00:37:49.240
while
00:37:49.510 --> 00:37:51.130
the temporary system might solve
00:37:51.630 --> 00:37:53.610
immediate concerns,
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:56.260
it risks encouraging negative practices.
00:37:56.950 --> 00:37:59.340
Please consider carefully, Your Majesty.
00:37:59.510 --> 00:38:00.900
What negative practices?
00:38:02.200 --> 00:38:03.200
Well...
00:38:08.510 --> 00:38:09.510
Your Majesty,
00:38:10.030 --> 00:38:11.650
Minister Xing believes the root
00:38:12.150 --> 00:38:13.440
of the vagrants' issues
00:38:13.690 --> 00:38:15.930
lies in registration and taxation.
00:38:16.200 --> 00:38:17.700
Centralizing the registration
00:38:18.070 --> 00:38:20.570
might cause taxation problems.
00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:22.840
Therefore,
00:38:22.990 --> 00:38:24.570
this can't continue.
00:38:25.030 --> 00:38:26.450
Since you brought up taxation,
00:38:26.510 --> 00:38:27.926
I've also given the matter some thought.
00:38:27.950 --> 00:38:30.570
This tax system was set during
the reign of the previous emperor.
00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:33.220
Shouldn't it be improved to suit the times?
00:38:33.680 --> 00:38:34.450
Your Majesty,
00:38:34.680 --> 00:38:37.260
this tax system has been
in place for many decades.
00:38:37.680 --> 00:38:39.930
It has its reasons to exist.
00:38:40.150 --> 00:38:41.410
It won't do to change it
00:38:42.230 --> 00:38:43.550
on a whim.
00:38:54.720 --> 00:38:56.010
I believe
00:38:56.110 --> 00:38:57.410
what Your Majesty has said
00:38:58.030 --> 00:38:59.300
is reasonable.
00:39:11.280 --> 00:39:12.970
Mr. Li is right.
00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:16.860
I also support Your Majesty's proposal.
00:39:19.030 --> 00:39:21.130
Prince of Yuzhang, what are your views?
00:39:21.550 --> 00:39:24.050
As His Majesty and Grand Tutor Ling said,
00:39:24.200 --> 00:39:27.410
the tax system hasn't changed for decades.
00:39:27.950 --> 00:39:29.490
But Great Qi's development
00:39:29.510 --> 00:39:30.740
never stops.
00:39:31.680 --> 00:39:32.780
I believe
00:39:33.240 --> 00:39:35.340
this is the time to break the old ways
00:39:35.510 --> 00:39:37.220
and reform taxation.
00:39:38.320 --> 00:39:40.660
Prince of Yuzhang and I
are of the same opinion.
00:39:41.110 --> 00:39:42.610
The current tax system
00:39:42.630 --> 00:39:43.930
has many types of levies
00:39:43.990 --> 00:39:45.830
which prompt frequent
corruption by officials.
00:39:46.240 --> 00:39:47.300
I have also
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:49.860
considered simplifying
00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:50.930
the collections
00:39:50.950 --> 00:39:52.150
and taxing by acreage instead.
00:39:52.470 --> 00:39:53.470
Of course,
00:39:53.550 --> 00:39:56.050
all this is still under discussion.
00:39:56.630 --> 00:39:58.740
If any minister has ideas,
00:39:58.760 --> 00:40:00.300
please present them to me.
00:40:08.680 --> 00:40:10.860
Since no one else has anything to say,
00:40:11.070 --> 00:40:12.070
we'll end
00:40:12.150 --> 00:40:13.380
today's session here.
00:40:34.240 --> 00:40:35.570
You're grinning without reason.
00:40:36.030 --> 00:40:37.860
What cunning scheme
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:40.900
is your wise self plotting now?
00:40:41.430 --> 00:40:42.570
I just think
00:40:42.590 --> 00:40:45.010
you were especially impressive today.
00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:46.320
As a matter of fact,
00:40:46.590 --> 00:40:47.660
it has been a long time
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:50.410
since we had a proper conversation.
00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:53.220
Feel free to enjoy this
advantage you have earned.
00:40:54.680 --> 00:40:55.680
Well,
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:57.610
what do you think of my idea?
00:40:57.920 --> 00:41:00.130
If the tax policies are simplified,
00:41:00.720 --> 00:41:02.380
officials will find it harder to cheat,
00:41:03.150 --> 00:41:05.820
so revenue should increase.
00:41:06.070 --> 00:41:07.300
More importantly,
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:09.930
the people's tax burden will lessen.
00:41:10.510 --> 00:41:12.450
It is indeed a good proposal.
00:41:15.200 --> 00:41:16.220
However...
00:41:17.110 --> 00:41:18.110
However,
00:41:18.430 --> 00:41:19.590
the status verification issue
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:21.440
only treats the symptoms, not the cause.
00:41:25.070 --> 00:41:26.070
We'll take it slow.
00:41:26.470 --> 00:41:27.470
Reform
00:41:27.590 --> 00:41:29.130
takes time.
00:41:37.590 --> 00:41:39.740
I heard you stopped Her
Majesty's birth-control tea.
00:41:42.840 --> 00:41:43.970
You know about that?
00:41:45.070 --> 00:41:47.570
My mother cares about you having an heir
00:41:47.950 --> 00:41:49.340
much more than I do.
00:41:51.590 --> 00:41:52.590
I heard
00:41:53.200 --> 00:41:55.340
she is eager to find a
princess consort for you.
00:41:55.880 --> 00:41:56.880
What do you say?
00:41:57.110 --> 00:41:59.700
Would you like me to find you a few?
00:42:00.150 --> 00:42:01.570
I do regret
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:03.930
meddling and saving you.
00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:15.880
Look.
00:42:16.630 --> 00:42:17.630
Victory is mine.
00:42:25.990 --> 00:42:26.780
Your Majesty,
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:28.970
is it true that you can roast pears?
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:30.360
Yes.
00:42:31.240 --> 00:42:34.090
This is a recipe my mother invented.
00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:41.280
When I was little,
00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:43.010
I remember often
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:44.820
roasting pears with my master
00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:45.920
and father...
00:42:47.240 --> 00:42:48.660
The Grand Tutor roasts pears too?
00:42:49.550 --> 00:42:50.780
I haven't roasted them
00:42:51.470 --> 00:42:52.970
in a while as well.
00:42:54.430 --> 00:42:55.010
Father.
00:42:55.030 --> 00:42:57.220
Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:00.760
Please be seated.
