00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:33.330

But indulging her
00:05:19.640 --> 00:05:21.090
isn't truly loving her.
00:05:22.430 --> 00:05:23.460
I understand.
00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:27.520
As for this matter,
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.210
I won't just let it slide.
00:05:29.990 --> 00:05:31.650
Why did Xiao Ying change so suddenly?
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.380
Why did she never show any sign before?
00:05:35.230 --> 00:05:36.260
I believe
00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:38.330
none of this is a coincidence.

pulling the strings behind her.
00:05:42.990 --> 00:05:44.730
I will get to the bottom of this.
00:05:45.400 --> 00:05:47.000
Even if it was my mother who ordered it,
00:05:47.550 --> 00:05:49.090

00:07:24.280 --> 00:07:26.620
For now, don't tell the Empress.
00:07:26.990 --> 00:07:29.330
Her body can't take any more.
00:07:29.350 --> 00:07:30.350
Yes, Your Majesty.

If anything goes wrong,
00:07:40.310 --> 00:07:41.730

00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:04.820
Will he have Ying executed?
00:08:24.670 --> 00:08:25.670
Ying,
00:08:26.990 --> 00:08:28.090
tell me the truth.
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.500
Did someone egg you on
00:08:31.840 --> 00:08:32.840
to try
00:08:33.400 --> 00:08:34.860
to assassinate His Majesty?
00:08:35.520 --> 00:08:36.930
You don't need to ask her.
00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:39.050
She's still not herself.
00:08:40.790 --> 00:08:42.500
I'll have someone send calming soup
00:08:42.520 --> 00:08:44.100

00:08:48.670 --> 00:08:49.670
This time,
00:08:50.590 --> 00:08:51.690
you were wrong.
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.170
When you do something wrong,
00:08:55.120 --> 00:08:56.930
there is always a price to pay.

Qianqing, what are you saying?
00:09:06.790 --> 00:09:08.980
I wanted to pay that price for you.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:12.100
But His Majesty is right.
00:09:14.280 --> 00:09:15.530
Always indulging you...
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:19.860
is not truly loving you.
00:09:28.310 --> 00:09:29.310
Qianqing...
00:09:31.550 --> 00:09:33.260

00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:09.040
what are you doing?
00:10:14.670 --> 00:10:16.040
I've cut her inner channels.
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:19.190
She can never refine poison again.
00:10:19.690 --> 00:10:20.690
Qianqing,
00:10:20.830 --> 00:10:21.740

00:10:21.760 --> 00:10:22.760
I'm not!
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:27.930
I was the one running away before.
00:10:28.790 --> 00:10:30.140
Ying had a miserable childhood.
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.100
No one ever taught her right from wrong.
00:10:34.070 --> 00:10:35.140
But in this world,
00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:39.050
no one can spoil her forever.
00:10:41.160 --> 00:10:42.160

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:45.380

00:12:01.470 --> 00:12:02.470
It's all right now.
00:12:03.640 --> 00:12:04.640
From now on,
00:12:05.070 --> 00:12:06.070
you can't make poison.
00:12:07.470 --> 00:12:09.380
I'll keep you company in other ways.

00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:21.500
tell me,
00:12:22.400 --> 00:12:24.500
are you afraid of Wuying Hall now?
00:12:49.280 --> 00:12:50.280
Mother,
00:12:52.280 --> 00:12:53.280
did you
00:12:54.710 --> 00:12:56.290
have anything to do with this?
00:12:58.640 --> 00:12:59.640
What did you say?
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:02.690

00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.220
Is this how you speak to your mother?

In this palace,
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.050
who but you would dare think that way?
00:13:15.430 --> 00:13:16.430
Yes!
00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:19.620
I wish he would just die right now!
00:13:25.470 --> 00:13:26.470
But...
00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:27.810
do you really think
00:13:28.760 --> 00:13:30.530
I would send Ying to do it?
00:13:32.070 --> 00:13:33.340
Her mind is not sound.
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.650
She is beyond my control.
00:13:34.760 --> 00:13:36.290
If anything went wrong,
00:13:36.310 --> 00:13:38.570
Xiao Huan would suspect me first!
00:13:39.520 --> 00:13:41.450
Why would I set myself on fire?
00:13:43.950 --> 00:13:45.500
And if Xiao Huan survived,
00:13:45.950 --> 00:13:46.950
I,
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:47.980

and you included,
00:13:49.190 --> 00:13:50.690
would all be buried with her!
00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:02.040

00:14:02.880 --> 00:14:04.980

Qianqing,

has your heart
00:14:12.170 --> 00:14:13.970
already turned to him?
00:14:19.400 --> 00:14:21.020
Have you forgotten
00:14:22.160 --> 00:14:23.980
the humiliation I suffered back then
00:14:24.950 --> 00:14:26.410
and how coldly I was treated?

[Prince of Yuzhang's Manor]

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.000
I found it!
00:15:00.950 --> 00:15:02.500
This method really works?
00:15:02.520 --> 00:15:03.520
It has to work.
00:15:03.880 --> 00:15:05.930
Though Gold Incense is
colorless and tasteless,
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.290
the red flying ants that
grow on dead branches
00:15:08.310 --> 00:15:09.690
of thousand-year-old golden nanmu
00:15:09.710 --> 00:15:10.930
will swarm straight to it.
00:15:11.310 --> 00:15:14.050
They can sniff it out
even from ten zhang away.
00:15:14.070 --> 00:15:15.220
I managed to get two of them.
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:16.240
We can give it a try.
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:19.450
You've really helped me a lot this time.
00:15:19.950 --> 00:15:21.740
If we can prove my mother is innocent,
00:15:21.830 --> 00:15:23.736
I'll make sure she credits
you with great merit.
00:15:23.760 --> 00:15:25.380
I'm not doing this for your mother.
00:15:26.550 --> 00:15:28.020
I'm doing it for you and Ying,
00:15:28.670 --> 00:15:29.670
and for Cangcang.
00:15:30.670 --> 00:15:32.340
Her baby is just gone.
00:15:32.430 --> 00:15:33.980
Whoever is behind this,
00:15:34.070 --> 00:15:35.570
I'll drag them out into the light.
00:15:41.830 --> 00:15:43.980
The Emperor just lost his temper.
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:45.530
His anger at you
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.810
was just anger at himself.
00:15:49.070 --> 00:15:50.530
Once we catch the culprit,
00:15:50.880 --> 00:15:52.290
things will work out.
00:15:56.590 --> 00:15:57.590
I know.
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:00.170
Besides,
00:16:01.310 --> 00:16:02.856
even if he keeps his distance from you,
00:16:02.880 --> 00:16:03.980
you still have me.
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:05.520
Right?
00:16:09.640 --> 00:16:10.640
Zhong Lin,
00:16:12.950 --> 00:16:15.170
if one day I leave this place
00:16:15.520 --> 00:16:16.530
and never return,
00:16:17.710 --> 00:16:18.930
who would you choose
00:16:19.790 --> 00:16:20.950
between Ling Cangcang and me?
00:16:28.400 --> 00:16:30.410
If Cangcang is safe and happy,
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.380
that's all I wish for.
00:16:35.950 --> 00:16:36.950
As for me,
00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:40.500
of course I'll go wherever you go.
00:16:40.760 --> 00:16:42.410
I go where my man goes!
00:16:56.590 --> 00:16:57.590
Your Majesty.
00:17:02.400 --> 00:17:03.400
In the future,
00:17:04.120 --> 00:17:05.560
Ying can never refine poisons again.
00:17:06.670 --> 00:17:08.060
The venomous insect she used this time
00:17:08.080 --> 00:17:09.080
is called Dual-Pupil.
00:17:09.710 --> 00:17:11.650
It can rapidly draw out
a person's inner power,
00:17:12.190 --> 00:17:14.100
but it does severe damage to the mind.
00:17:15.800 --> 00:17:16.860
Right now,
00:17:17.560 --> 00:17:19.340
Ying only recognizes me.
00:17:20.950 --> 00:17:21.690
Whatever I say,
00:17:21.691 --> 00:17:22.891
she doesn't really understand.
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:25.120
I can't get any answers out of her.
00:17:25.950 --> 00:17:27.340
But on the day she attacked,
00:17:27.990 --> 00:17:29.300
her mind was clear.
00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:34.100
That's what Dual-Pupil does.
00:17:34.710 --> 00:17:36.410
Once it forces out all your potential
00:17:36.800 --> 00:17:37.930
and unleashes your power,
00:17:38.360 --> 00:17:40.250
you quickly become dull and witless.
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:46.400
Your Majesty,
00:17:46.710 --> 00:17:48.300
though my mother raised Ying,
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:49.970
she would never make her
00:17:49.990 --> 00:17:51.690
use a secret art that ruins her own body.
00:17:52.990 --> 00:17:54.750
If my mother chose to use Ying,
00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:56.410
she'd be setting herself on fire.
00:17:56.750 --> 00:17:58.140
She's not that foolish.
00:18:01.320 --> 00:18:02.380
I truly believe
00:18:02.990 --> 00:18:04.250
the one pulling Ying's strings
00:18:04.270 --> 00:18:05.650
must be someone else.
00:18:06.470 --> 00:18:07.970
I will find them.
00:18:08.510 --> 00:18:10.690
But Xiao Ying can't say anything now.
00:18:11.120 --> 00:18:12.380
How will you find them?
00:18:12.470 --> 00:18:13.540
She finished
00:18:14.230 --> 00:18:15.730
breeding this insect long ago.
00:18:16.030 --> 00:18:17.490
She even bragged about it to me.
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:20.250
But to get this kind
of insect into the body,
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:22.780
you have to take Gold Incense
00:18:22.990 --> 00:18:24.340
for several days in a row.
00:18:25.510 --> 00:18:27.010
This stuff is highly addictive.
00:18:27.430 --> 00:18:28.430
It's worth a fortune.
00:18:28.990 --> 00:18:29.990
It's contraband.
00:18:32.560 --> 00:18:33.730
It should never appear
00:18:34.600 --> 00:18:35.600
inside the palace.
00:18:37.190 --> 00:18:38.730
So you already have a plan?
00:18:41.430 --> 00:18:42.430
Within five days,
00:18:42.710 --> 00:18:44.450
I will get to the bottom of this
00:18:44.990 --> 00:18:46.580
and give you an answer.
00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:10.740
[Upright and Honorable]
00:19:31.750 --> 00:19:33.010
Sir, please don't be angry.
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:40.856
We've been setting this up for so long,
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:42.180
and Xiao Huan is still alive.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:44.860
On top of that,
00:19:45.750 --> 00:19:47.570
I've even lost a grandchild I never met.
00:19:48.030 --> 00:19:50.490
How am I supposed to calm down?
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:53.660
But you use this chance
to return to the Capital.
00:19:54.590 --> 00:19:56.290
And I've helped you quite a bit.
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:58.460
Now that you're back,
00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:01.880
we can finally aim for bigger things.
00:20:03.030 --> 00:20:05.560
I've already lost my grandchild.
00:20:06.150 --> 00:20:07.330
I just want to go back
00:20:07.970 --> 00:20:09.499
and see my daughter.
00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:11.170
Are you thinking of backing out?
00:20:12.070 --> 00:20:13.380
Don't forget:
00:20:13.550 --> 00:20:15.380
the Empress losing her child
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:16.980
was partly your doing.
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.180
Do you really think
you still have a way out?
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.860
Commander of the Capital Patrol Office,
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:36.640
Zhang Heng,
00:20:36.790 --> 00:20:37.790
please come out.
00:20:49.310 --> 00:20:52.140
I heard you two have never gotten along.
00:20:52.550 --> 00:20:53.550
Because of you,
00:20:53.790 --> 00:20:55.460
Mr. Zhang was demoted three ranks.
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.980
He had to start over as a lowly
clerk in the North City Patrol
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:01.220
before climbing back up to commander.
00:21:02.030 --> 00:21:03.770
And even as commander,
00:21:04.310 --> 00:21:06.220
he gave you no end of trouble.
00:21:06.790 --> 00:21:08.940
Years ago, he stopped your carriage,
00:21:09.350 --> 00:21:11.090
saying you were too extravagant
00:21:11.510 --> 00:21:13.220
that your carriage exceeded your rank.
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:16.896
If Sir had really wanted
to make things hard for me,
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:19.570
could I have risen safely to commander?
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:24.090
The one playing the game
00:21:25.530 --> 00:21:27.580
will sometimes place a hidden piece.
00:21:29.290 --> 00:21:30.860
And that hidden piece
00:21:31.220 --> 00:21:34.840
often sits at the most critical spot.
00:21:38.240 --> 00:21:39.240
Truly,
00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:41.290
he is a masterful piece.
00:21:41.810 --> 00:21:43.120
Right now,
00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:45.990
I've turned the key hidden piece
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:48.220
face up for you to see.
00:21:49.230 --> 00:21:51.590
Do you still think
00:21:51.790 --> 00:21:53.590
I would back down?
00:22:24.660 --> 00:22:25.660
General Lu,
00:22:26.520 --> 00:22:28.420
let me remind you of one thing:
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.240
the Imperial Preceptor is
sacred and untouchable.
00:22:34.360 --> 00:22:36.820
The last Imperial
Preceptor had a secret affair
00:22:37.540 --> 00:22:39.660
and I personally carried out
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.810
her sentence of death by fire.
00:23:00.510 --> 00:23:02.570
Inside here are red flying ants.
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.660
They love the scent of Gold Incense.
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:07.880
If someone has come into contact with it,
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.940
even a dozen days later,
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.420
the red flying ants can still sniff it out.
00:23:13.830 --> 00:23:14.940
This register lists everyone
00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:17.330
who has entered or left
the cold palace recently.
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:19.980
Once we test them with the ants,
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:22.940
the one behind it all
is sure to be exposed.
00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:25.540
[Cold Palace Entry Log]
00:23:25.790 --> 00:23:26.790
Wufu.
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:27.350
Yes.
00:23:27.350 --> 00:23:28.350
Summon Lu Qi.
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:29.400
Yes.
00:23:31.110 --> 00:23:32.110
Wait.
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:36.570
Why isn't Lu Qi's name
00:23:36.590 --> 00:23:38.180
on this register?
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:40.770
He's Li Hongqing's right-hand man.
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:42.680
That doesn't make sense.
00:23:43.830 --> 00:23:45.600
He could've had contact with Xiao Ying too.
00:23:46.350 --> 00:23:48.750
That day, the situation in Wuying
Hall was deadly dangerous.
00:23:48.800 --> 00:23:50.020
Yet he showed up late,
00:23:50.830 --> 00:23:52.530
saying he'd suddenly taken ill.
00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:55.900
How could it be such a coincidence?
00:23:57.030 --> 00:23:58.770
Lu's family has been loyal for generations.
00:23:59.070 --> 00:24:00.660
He's an upright man,
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:02.090
even a bit stubborn.
00:24:04.030 --> 00:24:07.050
It's hard to believe he'd be bought off.
00:24:08.030 --> 00:24:09.060
We'll know
00:24:09.210 --> 00:24:10.240
as soon as we test him.
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:13.640
Summon Lu Qi!
00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:15.240
Yes.
00:24:24.790 --> 00:24:25.980
That's roughly what happened
00:24:26.310 --> 00:24:27.700
in the cold palace that day.
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:29.520
It was my failure in duty.
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.000
I didn't notice anything
unusual about the princess.
00:24:36.110 --> 00:24:37.110
It's not your fault.
00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.010
Any news of Li Hongqing?
00:24:41.350 --> 00:24:42.350
None yet.
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:43.980
I've sent more men
00:24:44.030 --> 00:24:45.530
to search for Commander Li.
00:24:46.030 --> 00:24:47.030
All right.
00:24:47.310 --> 00:24:48.380
You may go for now.
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:50.000
Yes, Your Majesty.
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.810
Put someone on him.
00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:57.620
Check everyone
00:24:58.110 --> 00:24:59.490
he came into contact with.
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:01.640
Yes, Your Majesty.
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:03.920
Your Majesty,
00:25:04.590 --> 00:25:06.290
I'll look into this myself.
00:25:07.070 --> 00:25:09.140
I want to see who's really behind this,
00:25:09.510 --> 00:25:10.770
whether they're man or ghost.
00:25:56.880 --> 00:25:57.880
Your Majesty,
00:25:59.270 --> 00:26:00.730
is something weighing on your mind?
00:26:12.590 --> 00:26:13.590
Here,
00:26:13.710 --> 00:26:14.710
have a candied fruit.
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:27.240
Your Majesty,
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:30.290
have you found the real culprit
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:31.400
behind the princess?
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:34.860
We have a lead,
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:36.620
but nothing is certain yet.
00:26:38.830 --> 00:26:39.830
You said
00:26:40.790 --> 00:26:43.330
you would never keep anything from me.
00:26:50.110 --> 00:26:51.110
All right.
00:26:52.030 --> 00:26:53.220
I promise you
00:26:53.750 --> 00:26:54.810
I won't hide anything.
00:26:55.310 --> 00:26:56.980
But you have to rest
00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:59.090
and fully regain your strength.
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:01.140
Otherwise, how can I feel at ease
00:27:01.160 --> 00:27:02.900
telling you all these troubles?
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:05.730
I'm almost fully recovered.
00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:06.980
Even Physician Li says so.
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:08.730
I can run and jump now.
00:27:08.790 --> 00:27:10.010
See for yourself...
00:27:10.110 --> 00:27:11.110
All right!
00:27:12.790 --> 00:27:13.860
I know.
00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:17.460
I know you're back on your feet.
00:27:19.550 --> 00:27:20.550
Promise me
00:27:20.750 --> 00:27:22.220
that whatever happens,
00:27:22.590 --> 00:27:24.090
we'll face it together.
00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:26.920
All right.
00:27:39.070 --> 00:27:40.070
General Lu.
00:27:44.270 --> 00:27:45.270
Open the gate.
00:27:56.550 --> 00:27:57.550
Your Highness.
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:00.240
Open the gate.
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:14.599
Trinkets!
00:28:14.600 --> 00:28:16.200
Trinkets! Take a look!
00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:18.010
Kites! Have a look!
00:28:21.870 --> 00:28:22.870
Take a look!
00:28:24.030 --> 00:28:24.620
Mother,
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:25.940
which of these two
00:28:26.270 --> 00:28:27.730
looks better?
00:28:31.700 --> 00:28:32.700
Wrap them up.
00:28:33.490 --> 00:28:34.380
- Got it. - Ladies.
00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:35.720
Take your time and look around.
00:28:35.790 --> 00:28:36.790
Not bad.
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:18.200
Sir, another bowl!
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:24.730
Miss, have a look.
00:29:41.070 --> 00:29:43.326
How did Zhang Heng, commander
of the Capital Patrol Office,
00:29:43.350 --> 00:29:45.390
and Lu Qi, deputy commander
of the Imperial Guards,
00:29:45.750 --> 00:29:47.460
end up together like that?
00:29:51.900 --> 00:29:54.380
[Imperial Assembly Patrol]
00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:57.980
[Lu Qi, deputy commander
of the Imperial Guards]
00:29:57.981 --> 00:30:00.061
[Zhang Heng, commander
of the Capital Patrol Office]
00:30:01.790 --> 00:30:03.010
The Imperial Assembly patrol
00:30:03.030 --> 00:30:04.860
was always handled by Li Hongqing.
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:05.730
Now,
00:30:05.790 --> 00:30:07.290
his fate is unknown
00:30:07.310 --> 00:30:08.470
and he still hasn't returned.
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.460
So the duty has fallen
to Lu Qi and Zhang Heng.
00:30:14.350 --> 00:30:16.510
Someone's plotting something
at the Imperial Assembly?
00:30:19.590 --> 00:30:21.810
But who is behind it all?
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:25.090
Lu Qi was the one
00:30:25.270 --> 00:30:27.220
who escorted Ling Xuefeng back.
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:29.010
You mean
00:30:29.110 --> 00:30:30.990
Ling Xuefeng still won't
give up his ambitions?
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:34.530
But Zhang Heng has
always been his sworn enemy.
00:30:34.550 --> 00:30:36.730
That's why I trusted him so deeply
00:30:36.750 --> 00:30:39.050
and put the Capital's
defenses in his hands.
00:30:39.270 --> 00:30:41.220
But thinking about it now,
00:30:41.590 --> 00:30:43.730
if Ling Xuefeng really wanted to block him,
00:30:44.030 --> 00:30:45.090
how did Zhang Heng
00:30:45.110 --> 00:30:47.570
rise so smoothly to commander?
00:30:48.750 --> 00:30:49.980
Could Zhang Heng
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:52.620
have been Ling Xuefeng's
secret piece all along?
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:56.240
So,
00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:58.420
from Shi Yan's incident,
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:00.330
to Li Hongqing leaving the palace,
00:31:00.350 --> 00:31:01.500
to Xiao Ying's attack,
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:03.620
and even Zhang Heng
and Lu Qi colluding now,
00:31:04.270 --> 00:31:05.780
it was all within his design.
00:31:06.350 --> 00:31:08.050
If this really is Ling Xuefeng's work,
00:31:08.110 --> 00:31:09.620
his scheming runs too deep
00:31:10.110 --> 00:31:11.180
for anyone to see through.
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:16.530
I'll go arrest Zhang Heng
and Lu Qi right away,
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:19.180
then find a way to call
off the Imperial Assembly.
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:20.220
No need.
00:31:21.070 --> 00:31:22.140
I want to see
00:31:22.750 --> 00:31:24.330
what he plans to do
00:31:24.830 --> 00:31:26.530
at the assembly five days from now.
00:31:27.620 --> 00:31:30.140
[Linghe Hall]
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:39.640
Your Majesty.
00:31:40.950 --> 00:31:41.700
It's so late.
00:31:41.790 --> 00:31:42.790
Why are you still up?
00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.090
I just saw Zhong Lin and Luo.
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.810
Luo said
00:31:48.510 --> 00:31:50.490
you told Zhong Lin to bring him here.
00:31:51.520 --> 00:31:54.050
Luo Xianxue helped Hongqing save Shi Yan.
00:31:54.790 --> 00:31:55.790
I think
00:31:56.110 --> 00:31:57.770
he did it all for you.
00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:01.940
Calling them into the palace now,
00:32:02.830 --> 00:32:03.770
what for?
00:32:03.790 --> 00:32:05.620
I want them to protect you.
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:07.770
Since what happened to Hongqing,
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:10.730
there are so few people
in the palace I can trust.
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:11.980
I believe
00:32:12.350 --> 00:32:13.350
the two of them
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:15.250
would risk their lives to guard you.
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:25.440
Your Majesty,
00:32:26.030 --> 00:32:27.030
I'm so scared...
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:36.050
He really
00:32:37.030 --> 00:32:38.460
still hasn't given up?
00:32:40.300 --> 00:32:41.380
As long as I'm here,
00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:43.010
he won't succeed.
00:32:44.920 --> 00:32:45.920
What do you plan
00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:48.620
to do with him?
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:51.620
Ling Xuefeng's crimes
00:32:51.640 --> 00:32:52.640
are unforgivable.
00:32:53.030 --> 00:32:54.700
I will never spare him.
00:32:57.270 --> 00:32:58.380
But rest assured,
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:00.090
the innocent
00:33:00.480 --> 00:33:02.010
will not be dragged down.
00:33:56.380 --> 00:34:00.820
[Wuying Hall]
00:34:03.620 --> 00:34:07.260
[Wuying Hall]
00:34:31.030 --> 00:34:32.820
Everything is ready.
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:34.360
If we fail,
00:34:34.630 --> 00:34:35.630
we die trying!
00:35:07.400 --> 00:35:10.050
All officials of the Imperial
Assembly, enter the hall
00:35:10.230 --> 00:35:12.460
and pay respects to His Majesty!
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:28.420
Proceed!
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:31.260
At the dawn of a new year,
00:36:31.440 --> 00:36:33.130
all things are made new.
00:36:33.190 --> 00:36:35.340
We pray Your Majesty
00:36:35.510 --> 00:36:37.130
receive Heaven's blessing
00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:39.260
and share in its glory!
00:36:39.630 --> 00:36:40.980
Stow your tablets!
00:36:45.230 --> 00:36:46.300
Kneel!
00:36:49.630 --> 00:36:50.860
All hail!
00:36:56.320 --> 00:36:57.940
Long live Your Majesty!
00:37:01.110 --> 00:37:02.420
You may all rise!
00:37:05.630 --> 00:37:06.940
Present your tablets!
00:37:11.230 --> 00:37:12.980
By Your Majesty's grace,
00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:17.340
in the ninth year of Yongxi,
Great Qi is rich and strong.
00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:20.780
In the southern provinces, the
land is fertile and the waters full.
00:37:21.630 --> 00:37:22.816
Though we faced locust plague,
00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:24.050
the damage was slight.
00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:25.780
Every home has grain stored.
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:27.340
The people are all well fed.
00:37:27.630 --> 00:37:30.420
At best, fields yield
two dan of grain per mu.
00:37:31.070 --> 00:37:32.420
As for the remaining details,
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:33.860
[Memorial]
I've set them out in full
00:37:34.030 --> 00:37:35.780
for Your Majesty's review.
00:37:42.150 --> 00:37:43.340
Such prosperity
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:44.680
is thanks to all you ministers.
00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:46.260
What Great Qi seeks
00:37:46.280 --> 00:37:47.690
is not short-term gain.
00:37:48.070 --> 00:37:50.090
I hope you will all work as one,
00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:51.440
abolish outdated rules,
00:37:51.510 --> 00:37:52.710
and push forward new policies.
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:54.086
Let the brave know righteousness,
00:37:54.110 --> 00:37:55.430
and the wise cherish benevolence.
00:37:57.000 --> 00:37:59.980
We will heed your teachings!
00:38:55.880 --> 00:38:58.460
Imperial Preceptor Du has
prepared Tusu wine for everyone.
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:00.460
Let's all raise a toast
00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:01.650
to Great Qi's future,
00:39:01.670 --> 00:39:02.860
with fair winds and timely rain,
00:39:02.880 --> 00:39:05.090
and a peaceful, prosperous people!
00:39:10.670 --> 00:39:11.710
How could this cup of wine
00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:13.610
possibly go
00:39:14.030 --> 00:39:15.380
without me?
00:39:50.670 --> 00:39:51.780
Ling Xuefeng,
00:39:52.630 --> 00:39:53.940
you dare commit treason!
00:39:59.630 --> 00:40:02.090
So you've been planning
this for a long time, Sir.
00:40:02.630 --> 00:40:03.780
Since you've come today,
00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:04.920
I'm sure
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:06.690
you have plenty to say.
00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:09.650
Of course.
00:40:10.550 --> 00:40:12.100
Today I came
00:40:12.350 --> 00:40:13.890
to ask just one thing:
00:40:14.150 --> 00:40:15.840
Without the full support
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.390
of the Ling clan and me,
00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:20.170
what right or ability did you have
00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:22.150
to sit securely on the throne?
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:23.920
So,
00:40:24.180 --> 00:40:25.930
you want to take it for yourself?
00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:29.610
I have no wish to usurp you.
00:40:29.730 --> 00:40:33.160
But I have already
received an imperial edict.
00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:35.940
It states His Majesty is
gravely ill with a cold illness,
00:40:36.710 --> 00:40:37.750
and thus
00:40:37.890 --> 00:40:41.900
he has passed the throne to
the prince in the Empress's womb.
00:40:42.070 --> 00:40:44.110
He orders me to bear the imperial seal,
00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:45.909
ascend to the Taiji Hall,
00:40:45.910 --> 00:40:47.380
assist the new emperor,
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:49.170
share in handling state affairs,
00:40:49.360 --> 00:40:50.960
and oversee the realm and armies.
00:40:51.030 --> 00:40:52.030
This minister
00:40:52.230 --> 00:40:53.430
dares not refuse.
00:40:55.760 --> 00:40:56.940
Why didn't I know
00:40:57.190 --> 00:40:58.390
about this edict?
00:40:59.230 --> 00:41:00.660
Because...
00:41:01.190 --> 00:41:03.090
during today's court session,
00:41:03.290 --> 00:41:04.960
you will suddenly be taken ill
00:41:05.450 --> 00:41:07.530
and die.
00:41:27.380 --> 00:41:28.860
You're that sure
00:41:29.230 --> 00:41:30.860
everything will go your way today?
00:41:32.630 --> 00:41:35.130
The hearts of men are with me.
00:41:52.630 --> 00:41:53.630
Good.
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:55.610
Very good.
00:42:26.750 --> 00:42:27.750
So,
00:42:27.950 --> 00:42:29.380
you'd planned ahead all along.
00:42:29.990 --> 00:42:31.190
I've already spent the night
00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:33.330
replacing the Imperial
Guards with my own men.
00:42:33.960 --> 00:42:35.860
In fact, I could've taken down
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:37.740
the Capital Patrol commander earlier.
00:42:38.110 --> 00:42:39.110
But...
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:41.090
I wanted to see
00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:43.170
just how many people in this court
00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:44.900
truly stand
00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:46.420
on your side.
00:42:58.670 --> 00:43:01.490
Now that you've seen it for yourself,
00:43:02.670 --> 00:43:04.190
allow me
00:43:04.880 --> 00:43:07.050
to send Your Majesty on your way.
