00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.240
ADAPTED FROM THE NOVEL "MY QUEEN"
BY XIE LOUNAN
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:37.640
Do you think
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.640
I won't kill you?
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:44.640
That's for Your Highness
00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:46.960
to decide.
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:52.920
I only remember
00:01:55.440 --> 00:01:57.480
that Her Highness loved
the world beyond the palace.
00:01:58.440 --> 00:02:00.240
She wanted to leave
and see the flower fields.
00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:04.296
I didn't want her to have any regrets.
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:05.360
Bring her back
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:09.080
in two hours.
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:04.760
I've returned.
00:03:09.160 --> 00:03:10.840
I've brought you to see the flower fields.
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:27.920
QING
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:37.680
YING
00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:33.440
Li Hongqing,
00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:37.200
I'm glad I found you.
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:43.880
It's been seven days and
ten hours since I last saw you.
00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:45.520
I've been thinking of you constantly.
00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:49.040
Unable to eat or sleep.
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:50.480
- Your Highness.
- I'm fond of you.
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.080
Do you feel the same?
00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:56.520
Can you really take me out of the palace?
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.480
Can we travel the rivers and mountains,
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.120
see the fields of flowers?
00:05:58.160 --> 00:05:59.480
Look, Your Highness.
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.920
Why didn't you wait for me?
00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:47.520
Why couldn't you have
waited just a bit longer…
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.160
BLESSINGS AND FORTUNE
00:07:38.280 --> 00:07:39.280
Ying,
00:07:41.200 --> 00:07:43.040
when you were little,
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.920
you were born round and chubby.
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.440
I loved holding you close to me
00:07:51.400 --> 00:07:52.440
in my arms.
00:07:55.320 --> 00:07:56.920
Your big eyes
00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:00.320
would sparkle at me, smiling.
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.680
Your Majesty,
Preceptor Du requests an audience.
00:08:26.640 --> 00:08:28.440
I've heard about Princess Ying.
00:08:29.280 --> 00:08:31.960
Please accept my condolences.
00:08:34.280 --> 00:08:36.240
I've copied scriptures for Princess Ying.
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.480
I pray she ascends to bliss swiftly.
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:41.480
I didn't expect you
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.040
to come to my
Xuanguang Hall of your own accord.
00:08:49.160 --> 00:08:50.760
I'm merely grieving
00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:52.920
for Her Highness.
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:55.160
I heard
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.760
Her Highness was regaining her senses.
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:00.080
But after Your Majesty's visit,
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:02.360
she passed away.
00:09:06.680 --> 00:09:08.160
My Ying
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.400
was always improving and relapsing.
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.160
I never thought
His Majesty would cause her death.
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:16.320
I understand.
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:18.840
Your Majesty had no choice.
00:09:19.520 --> 00:09:21.680
You didn't want Ying to
suffer longer in this world.
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:28.520
I don't understand
00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:30.600
what
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:32.760
you mean.
00:09:36.520 --> 00:09:38.520
The late Emperor died suddenly,
00:09:38.600 --> 00:09:40.560
followed by the fire at Luling Palace,
00:09:40.640 --> 00:09:43.560
leaving Princess Ying deranged.
00:09:45.640 --> 00:09:46.840
Her life
00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:49.200
has been full of hardship.
00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:51.840
What exactly brings you
00:09:52.760 --> 00:09:54.120
here today?
00:09:56.440 --> 00:09:58.040
Since my youth,
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.360
I've served at His Majesty's side.
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:04.680
I wanted to serve
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.320
a wise ruler who could bring hope
to Great Qi.
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:12.080
Indeed.
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.440
You've always been loyal to him.
00:10:16.040 --> 00:10:18.320
But now I no longer wish to be.
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:25.400
I want to help you
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:28.600
eliminate your real threat.
00:10:30.800 --> 00:10:33.840
I intend to aid the Prince of Yuzhang
in seizing the throne.
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:37.440
Why?
00:10:41.760 --> 00:10:43.120
Why?
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:47.160
Perhaps it's because
00:10:48.920 --> 00:10:50.280
I've been betrayed.
00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:54.840
You give everything to someone,
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:58.560
yet he drifts further away
00:10:58.640 --> 00:11:00.480
for an unworthy cause.
00:11:01.560 --> 00:11:04.840
Disappointment turns to hatred over time.
00:11:06.280 --> 00:11:07.880
Then, hatred festers
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:10.200
until you want him gone.
00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:15.280
Surely, you must know
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.560
that feeling.
00:11:22.920 --> 00:11:26.880
I don't understand your intentions.
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:41.120
Do you know what you're saying?
00:11:41.800 --> 00:11:43.000
Unless you do this,
00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:47.560
the Prince of Yuzhang's heart
will always be with his brother.
00:11:47.640 --> 00:11:49.440
You'll never win it back.
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:00.480
You must fan the flames of
his resentment toward His Majesty.
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:02.440
Turn the brothers against each other
00:12:02.800 --> 00:12:04.400
unto death.
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.280
Only then will he fight for the throne.
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:11.760
Princess Ying's death
00:12:12.680 --> 00:12:15.040
has lit the first fire.
00:12:17.280 --> 00:12:18.920
But it's not enough.
00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:27.320
What do you mean?
00:12:28.800 --> 00:12:30.920
Does Your Majesty dare to stake your life?
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:42.480
I have a poison here.
00:12:42.560 --> 00:12:46.800
Upon taking it,
one's breath and pulse quickly cease,
00:12:46.880 --> 00:12:48.840
plunging you into a deathlike trance
00:12:48.920 --> 00:12:50.360
while you remain fully conscious.
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.520
The antidote
00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:54.840
will revive you in
moments from that sham death.
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:07.760
This slice of ginseng
has been pre-soaked in the antidote.
00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:10.240
You can have a trusted aide
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:14.240
brew it into tea afterward,
00:13:15.520 --> 00:13:17.320
or hold it under your tongue
00:13:17.400 --> 00:13:19.400
before you take the poison.
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:21.720
The toxin
00:13:22.640 --> 00:13:23.720
will clear
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:26.400
after 48 hours.
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:37.920
Do you think me
00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:40.920
so easily deceived?
00:13:56.400 --> 00:13:57.680
Please choose one, Your Majesty.
00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:09.840
Fortune favors the bold.
00:14:09.920 --> 00:14:12.640
No victory comes without risk.
00:14:14.920 --> 00:14:16.880
Coming here to pledge allegiance
00:14:17.880 --> 00:14:20.840
means I've burned my bridges.
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:29.760
The antidote is right here.
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.720
Only you and I are present.
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:35.960
If you doubt me,
00:14:36.640 --> 00:14:37.840
don't save me.
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.040
Fortune favors the bold.
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:03.160
No victory comes without risk.
00:15:05.040 --> 00:15:06.840
It's time to take the gamble.
00:15:29.280 --> 00:15:30.280
Father!
00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:32.440
Your Majesty, what brings you here?
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.440
Physician Li,
00:15:38.520 --> 00:15:39.920
didn't you send word to the palace
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.800
that my father showed signs of waking?
00:15:42.560 --> 00:15:44.720
Me? I…
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:47.840
I don't recall…
00:15:54.160 --> 00:15:55.160
Oh, no.
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.000
It's Xiao Huan.
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:00.200
Something has happened in the palace.
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.320
The Imperial Father-in-law has awakened!
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:28.840
Father.
00:16:31.520 --> 00:16:32.520
Father.
00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.120
You're awake.
00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:38.280
Father!
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.440
- Cangcang…
- Yes? What is it?
00:16:47.400 --> 00:16:48.400
Preceptor Du…
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:53.520
Preceptor Du?
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:19.319
He knew Preceptor Du was the mastermind,
00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.080
so he arranged to draw
me away from the palace.
00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:30.080
Cangcang…
00:17:32.280 --> 00:17:34.840
Entrusting the jade seal to you
00:17:35.800 --> 00:17:37.520
was his way
00:17:38.320 --> 00:17:40.320
of ensuring your survival
00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:43.200
and leaving
00:17:44.120 --> 00:17:45.640
his last spark of hope.
00:17:47.360 --> 00:17:48.640
He won't succeed.
00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:52.480
I vowed I'd stand or fall with him.
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:06.960
I can make it. Xiao Huan,
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:09.240
wait for me.
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:44.200
I'm sorry.
00:18:48.320 --> 00:18:50.200
For some reason,
00:18:50.280 --> 00:18:52.440
I felt I had to say that to you.
00:18:56.120 --> 00:18:57.120
Qianqing.
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:00.720
Why are you here?
00:19:03.360 --> 00:19:04.656
Ying's cause of death is unclear.
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:05.960
Regardless of what happened,
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.520
I can't let her die without answers.
00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:10.600
I must investigate.
00:19:12.520 --> 00:19:14.000
Her cause of death is unclear?
00:19:15.360 --> 00:19:17.160
Weren't you the one who killed her?
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:20.040
If she truly died because of me,
00:19:20.120 --> 00:19:21.960
I won't deny it.
00:19:27.800 --> 00:19:28.840
Don't bother.
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:34.320
I hate myself
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:39.400
for ever agreeing to let you
remove the poison from Ying.
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:41.440
I should have taken her from this palace,
00:19:41.520 --> 00:19:43.480
from this wretched place.
00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:46.080
Ying's death is on our hands,
00:19:48.040 --> 00:19:49.560
you and I.
00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:50.720
Xiao Qianqing,
00:19:51.840 --> 00:19:53.296
calm yourself and think this through.
00:19:53.320 --> 00:19:55.640
Doesn't Ying's death seem suspicious?
00:19:57.360 --> 00:19:59.920
Do you want even her death exploited?
00:20:03.520 --> 00:20:04.720
Suspicious?
00:20:06.520 --> 00:20:07.520
Elaborate.
00:20:10.280 --> 00:20:12.040
She was nearly cured,
00:20:12.120 --> 00:20:13.520
then this happened out of the blue.
00:20:13.800 --> 00:20:15.400
Think harder.
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.960
Maybe someone
didn't want her to regain her wits.
00:20:22.760 --> 00:20:23.960
Lies!
00:20:24.040 --> 00:20:26.080
My Ying passed without finding peace.
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:29.840
Qianqing, look at your sister.
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:32.920
How can you be shaken by a few words
from him?
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:35.320
Mother,
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:38.560
he has no reason to kill Ying at all.
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:40.240
You forgot.
00:20:41.120 --> 00:20:42.720
Ying caused him to lose his child.
00:20:43.560 --> 00:20:44.800
The Empress's first child.
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:46.520
Do you really believe
00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:48.600
he had no reason to harm Ying?
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.240
I've said I won't pursue it.
00:20:52.520 --> 00:20:54.176
One can bide one's time for
the right opportunity to seek vengeance.
00:20:54.200 --> 00:20:57.400
Your schemes run deeper than the sea.
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.480
Qianqing, will you never understand?
00:21:04.120 --> 00:21:05.120
No.
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.680
We grew up together.
00:21:09.800 --> 00:21:10.960
Though he's cunning,
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:13.320
he is not that sort of man.
00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:16.320
My foolish son.
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:19.600
How can you be so innocent as to believe
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:21.080
in brotherhood and sincerity
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:23.640
within these palace walls?
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.800
There's nothing to gain
from him killing Ying.
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:31.120
Gain?
00:21:32.360 --> 00:21:35.240
Ling Xuefeng already made him wary.
00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:39.120
He fears more palace unrest,
another upheaval.
00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:41.000
He only wants to eliminate opponents.
00:21:41.800 --> 00:21:43.896
He claims Ying's death
was meant to incriminate someone.
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:45.960
Surely it's aimed at implicating me.
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:49.760
He already took out Ling Xuefeng.
00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:52.400
Now, it's my turn. You'll be next.
00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:56.360
We will all become sacrifices
to his consolidation of power.
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:03.160
Empress Dowager Liu,
00:22:03.520 --> 00:22:04.880
stop weaving tales.
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:09.160
- Trust me.
- He only wants to find the mastermind.
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.680
The mastermind? Who?
00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:14.680
He is the mastermind! He killed Ying!
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:27.680
Qianqing…
00:22:29.760 --> 00:22:30.800
Qianqing,
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:33.280
would you rather trust him
00:22:34.600 --> 00:22:35.800
than me?
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:47.000
Ying.
00:22:49.760 --> 00:22:50.760
Your brother
00:22:51.760 --> 00:22:53.720
distrusts and defies me
00:22:55.040 --> 00:22:56.280
utterly.
00:22:56.800 --> 00:23:00.120
I might as well
join you among the departed.
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:10.360
Mother!
00:23:11.040 --> 00:23:13.120
Mother, what did you take?
00:23:14.080 --> 00:23:15.080
Mother!
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:22.240
Qianqing,
00:23:24.600 --> 00:23:26.000
you've grown distant
00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:29.560
as you matured.
00:23:30.760 --> 00:23:34.040
But everything I do is for you.
00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:39.200
You may not believe me,
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:41.760
but remember,
00:23:42.880 --> 00:23:44.400
here in this palace,
00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:46.800
all seek power and gain.
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:49.640
Even if you refuse to contend,
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:51.760
your foes will never spare you.
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:54.400
Do not…
00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:58.720
Do not
00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:01.200
be deceived
00:24:02.320 --> 00:24:03.320
by him again…
00:24:21.760 --> 00:24:22.800
Mother…
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:25.240
Mother…
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:30.160
Mother!
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:34.520
Mother…
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:51.760
Are you satisfied now?
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:01.880
Is this what you wanted?
00:25:06.800 --> 00:25:07.880
From now on,
00:25:09.040 --> 00:25:11.440
my mother will no longer vex your eyes.
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:16.560
My sister will no longer
scheme to assassinate you.
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.040
- Are you happy now?
- Qianqing.
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:22.800
So all this,
00:25:23.840 --> 00:25:25.680
including the mastermind,
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:29.280
was you all along! It was all you!
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:42.960
Xiao Qianqing, have you lost your mind?
00:25:52.520 --> 00:25:55.880
HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:26:11.560 --> 00:26:13.880
YAOQING HALL
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:16.640
Madam,
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:19.441
the Prince of Yuzhang has
made a move against His Majesty.
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.000
This day has finally come.
00:26:33.280 --> 00:26:34.280
Ms. Yan.
00:26:36.360 --> 00:26:37.520
Yes, Madam.
00:26:39.280 --> 00:26:42.080
You've always called my
mother's life fragile as paper.
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:43.760
You're afraid love will destroy me
00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:46.040
as it did her.
00:26:56.760 --> 00:26:57.760
See here.
00:26:58.480 --> 00:27:01.240
My lifespan is long enough now, isn't it?
00:27:04.120 --> 00:27:05.120
Madam…
00:27:06.080 --> 00:27:07.080
Rest assured.
00:27:08.320 --> 00:27:10.440
I will no longer let
affections dictate my life.
00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:13.800
I will sever
00:27:16.040 --> 00:27:17.680
all these ties.
00:27:29.120 --> 00:27:31.160
My destiny rests with me, not the heavens.
00:27:31.760 --> 00:27:32.960
My only love
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:35.240
is for myself.
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:38.520
If heaven refuses me,
00:27:39.360 --> 00:27:41.080
I will defy it!
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:20.640
NANRONG PALACE
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.720
Is this a rebellion?
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:05.160
Your Majesty is correct.
00:29:11.680 --> 00:29:12.680
Today,
00:29:13.760 --> 00:29:15.040
we rebel.
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:16.840
Du Tingxin.
00:29:17.560 --> 00:29:18.760
It's you indeed.
00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:20.680
You betray me?
00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.080
I once served Your Majesty
00:29:23.600 --> 00:29:25.600
with loyalty.
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:28.040
Yet,
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:30.760
you have deeply disappointed me.
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:34.480
You're the one behind Ling Xuefeng.
00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:38.160
What are you saying?
00:29:39.520 --> 00:29:42.280
I fail to understand.
00:29:47.560 --> 00:29:48.640
Report!
00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:52.040
Preceptor Du,
we've searched the entire palace.
00:29:52.120 --> 00:29:53.200
The Empress is not here.
00:29:56.880 --> 00:29:58.200
You let Ling Cangcang escape!
00:30:01.320 --> 00:30:02.640
Relay my orders.
00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:05.600
Should the Empress return,
kill her on sight.
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:06.680
Understood.
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:09.920
Du Tingxin,
00:30:10.600 --> 00:30:12.040
you dare!
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:16.720
I have already rebelled.
00:30:17.320 --> 00:30:19.320
Why should I balk at one more death?
00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:23.320
- Kill him!
- Stop!
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:28.200
He is the Emperor of Great Qi.
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:30.600
You cannot kill him on a whim.
00:30:31.760 --> 00:30:32.760
Prince of Yuzhang,
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:35.520
he has betrayed you so.
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:38.480
Don't you want his life?
00:30:38.560 --> 00:30:39.880
My sister died.
00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:43.200
My mother died to prove her cause.
00:30:44.040 --> 00:30:47.280
Killing him outright
would be too easy on him.
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:04.120
Take His Majesty away to rest.
00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:17.720
Prince of Yuzhang,
00:31:17.800 --> 00:31:20.360
- I'm helping you.
- Helping me?
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:23.640
All these years,
your fealty was to Xiao Huan.
00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:26.160
Yet now you turn to aid me instead?
00:31:28.520 --> 00:31:30.080
I am the Imperial Preceptor.
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:32.480
I serve Great Qi.
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:34.560
My loyalty is not to one man,
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:36.880
nor just to Xiao Huan.
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:40.840
But to the world, to Great Qi.
00:31:41.800 --> 00:31:42.960
I choose
00:31:44.800 --> 00:31:46.840
to support Your Highness's ascension.
00:31:48.560 --> 00:31:49.880
Do you think
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:52.320
I would trust a madwoman?
00:31:53.520 --> 00:31:56.880
I have never sought the throne.
00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:57.960
You will want it.
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:02.080
Your brother, the current Emperor,
00:32:03.040 --> 00:32:05.920
slaughtered Princess Ying
and drove the Empress Dowager to despair,
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.400
all to secure his throne.
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:11.680
If he desires the throne so,
00:32:13.320 --> 00:32:15.400
why not take it from him?
00:32:17.480 --> 00:32:19.360
When you become Emperor,
00:32:21.280 --> 00:32:23.160
watch how remorseful
00:32:24.280 --> 00:32:27.200
your brother will be.
00:32:27.280 --> 00:32:30.000
That will be justice served.
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:36.880
Why?
00:32:39.360 --> 00:32:40.560
Why do you revolt then?
00:32:51.320 --> 00:32:53.000
If you wish to ally with me,
00:32:53.560 --> 00:32:56.920
I must know why.
00:32:57.000 --> 00:32:59.360
Or how can I trust you?
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:01.760
Why do I rebel?
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:06.440
He gave Ling Cangcang
the remedy meant to save himself.
00:33:07.280 --> 00:33:08.616
His very life
I wrested from death's grasp,
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:11.040
tending cauldrons through endless nights,
00:33:11.120 --> 00:33:13.280
testing remedies,
needling meridians without respite!
00:33:16.560 --> 00:33:18.320
If he won't cherish his life,
00:33:21.800 --> 00:33:24.320
then I must be the one to destroy it.
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:33.840
You truly are a pitiful lunatic.
00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:41.960
Indeed.
00:33:43.320 --> 00:33:46.680
Thus, I can no longer
indulge in such affections.
00:33:48.600 --> 00:33:49.600
Either way,
00:33:51.600 --> 00:33:53.440
I no longer deserve to.
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.000
On the day my mother
and Ying are laid to rest,
00:34:01.520 --> 00:34:04.000
I want Xiao Huan to die as penance.
00:34:05.080 --> 00:34:06.360
But until then,
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:10.480
I want him alive.
00:34:13.120 --> 00:34:16.000
Very well. It shall be as you wish.
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:34.920
LINGQUAN PALACE
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:13.280
Leave us.
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:38.000
Your Majesty.
00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:41.520
I know you can hear me.
00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:44.320
That's why I'm here
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:46.200
to speak with you.
00:35:47.040 --> 00:35:49.480
You've always known who I truly am.
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:53.400
You've never
received the late Emperor's love,
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:58.080
so you refuse
to let any woman he favored live.
00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:01.520
My mother had to be sacrificed.
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:04.520
Isn't that right?
00:36:12.080 --> 00:36:13.680
The truth is, the poison I gave you
00:36:14.720 --> 00:36:16.000
won't truly take effect
00:36:16.680 --> 00:36:18.240
for three days.
00:36:19.160 --> 00:36:20.440
By then,
00:36:22.120 --> 00:36:26.720
you'll already be
sealed in your lavish coffin.
00:36:30.240 --> 00:36:31.320
Mother,
00:36:32.040 --> 00:36:33.120
rest easy.
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.640
I'll reclaim
everything this world owes me,
00:36:41.640 --> 00:36:43.560
piece by piece.
00:36:49.280 --> 00:36:51.080
If heaven and earth reject me,
00:36:55.520 --> 00:36:57.400
so be it.
00:37:17.160 --> 00:37:21.600
XUANGUANG HALL
00:37:26.640 --> 00:37:28.640
SPIRIT TABLET OF
EMPRESS DOWAGER LIU OF GREAT QI
00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:33.440
Kneel.
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.280
Prince of Yuzhang, pardon my impertinence.
00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:44.080
But where lies Princess Ying's remains?
00:37:44.160 --> 00:37:47.216
Why is Her Highness not given a funeral
and interment in the Imperial Mausoleum?
00:37:47.240 --> 00:37:50.120
This defies all custom.
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:11.920
I despise
your prattle of rites and tradition
00:38:12.000 --> 00:38:14.520
while meddling where you don't belong,
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:16.800
cloaked in false virtue.
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:20.680
Ying spent her life
confined in the cold palace.
00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:22.960
When did you ever treat her
00:38:23.720 --> 00:38:24.880
as a princess?
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.440
Now that she's freed at last,
00:38:28.520 --> 00:38:31.200
you all suddenly remember her title.
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:37.560
When she was alive,
she languished in the cold palace.
00:38:38.160 --> 00:38:39.160
In death,
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:42.360
must she be trapped in
the Imperial Mausoleum too?
00:38:43.160 --> 00:38:47.720
His Majesty has been in indisposition.
00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:51.480
As Your Highness
handles state affairs in his stead,
00:38:51.560 --> 00:38:55.560
you should tread
carefully and uphold rites above all.
00:38:56.160 --> 00:38:57.240
Rites?
00:39:07.520 --> 00:39:09.040
What rites
00:39:10.720 --> 00:39:11.840
do you speak of?
00:39:11.920 --> 00:39:14.600
Please grant Her Highness
the proper rites befitting her title,
00:39:14.680 --> 00:39:15.960
and bury her swiftly.
00:39:16.040 --> 00:39:17.440
To heck with them!
00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:20.080
Your Highness…
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:24.120
Minister Ding, how fortunate
you must be that your family boasts
00:39:24.640 --> 00:39:26.120
four generations under one roof.
00:39:26.920 --> 00:39:29.200
If you've never
known the grief of losing kin,
00:39:30.200 --> 00:39:32.240
I can arrange for
you to experience it now,
00:39:34.320 --> 00:39:37.280
so you shall never spout
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:38.680
such utter nonsense again!
00:39:39.720 --> 00:39:40.720
I…
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:47.560
You all enjoy fatherly piety,
00:39:48.320 --> 00:39:49.840
filial children,
00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:52.120
and family bliss.
00:39:52.640 --> 00:39:55.360
So why can't
you allow one departed princess
00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:56.760
her ascent to heaven?
00:39:59.680 --> 00:40:02.600
Must you deny her peace in life
and death alike?
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:27.320
I know you're grieving too deeply
to hear anything now.
00:41:28.040 --> 00:41:29.480
So I'll say just this.
00:41:30.160 --> 00:41:31.960
I'll always be by your side.26719
