1
00:00:14,740 --> 00:00:15,660
- Ma. - My Lady. - How did it go?
2
00:00:15,660 --> 00:00:17,940
I found His Majesty and the
Lord Commissioner
3
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:20,740
The entire village is flooded
4
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:22,820
They're trapped on a large roof
5
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:24,620
As things stand now
6
00:00:24,620 --> 00:00:27,260
one, the torrents are turbulent,
we can't get close
7
00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:29,340
Two, His Majesty has brought
many men with him
8
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:31,620
We need more rafts over there
9
00:00:31,820 --> 00:00:34,420
We don't have any more log rafts left
10
00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:37,260
We need to organize some men to
cut down trees to build more rafts
11
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:40,340
- Hurry up! - Folks, let's go
12
00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:42,020
- Come with me to cut down more trees.
- Hurry up!
13
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:06,420
Dongfang Shuo, Zhang Tang,
receive my edict
14
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:09,940
- Here I am. - Here I am
15
00:01:11,980 --> 00:01:16,580
If I happen to meet an unfortunate end
this time
16
00:01:18,340 --> 00:01:23,420
I hereby appoint you both, along with
Wei Qing and Ming Fei, as Regents
17
00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:27,500
to support my heir's enthronement
18
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:32,180
You hear that?
19
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:38,380
Your Majesty, I'm literally awaiting
the death penalty
20
00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:45,300
Zhang Tang
21
00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:47,220
Yes, Your Majesty
22
00:01:48,780 --> 00:01:50,180
If I meet my end
23
00:01:54,300 --> 00:01:57,780
Dongfang Shuo may receive clemency
24
00:01:59,260 --> 00:02:00,660
Are you clear?
25
00:02:02,420 --> 00:02:04,700
I accept and obey
26
00:02:14,740 --> 00:02:18,940
If all of you end up getting swallowed
by the waters
27
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:24,260
- then it's God's will after all. - No!
28
00:02:25,700 --> 00:02:28,020
Your Majesty, any one of us may die
29
00:02:28,660 --> 00:02:31,140
but you alone must not!
30
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:38,260
I, Dongfang Shuo, will make sure to guard your life
31
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:41,260
You won't die!
32
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:43,660
Yes, Your Majesty!
33
00:02:43,660 --> 00:02:45,300
You won't die, Your Majesty
34
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:48,340
Your Majesty, look!
35
00:02:49,340 --> 00:02:53,660
- Commissioner! - Commissioner!
36
00:02:53,660 --> 00:02:56,660
A boat!
37
00:03:10,540 --> 00:03:15,020
- Steady now! - Closer! - Careful
38
00:03:19,980 --> 00:03:22,020
Folks, this is His Majesty
39
00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:24,180
Your Majesty!
40
00:03:24,860 --> 00:03:27,020
Now, now, get up
41
00:03:28,460 --> 00:03:30,660
- Sorry we're late! - No!
42
00:03:31,700 --> 00:03:35,140
Sir, you're not late in the least
43
00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:40,620
This river, this house
44
00:03:41,060 --> 00:03:42,900
and all of you here
45
00:03:42,940 --> 00:03:45,180
I'll never forget any of it
46
00:03:45,220 --> 00:03:47,660
Your Majesty, we never would've guessed
47
00:03:48,260 --> 00:03:49,780
that in Chang'an City
48
00:03:49,780 --> 00:03:52,100
where you oversee so many things daily
49
00:03:52,180 --> 00:03:54,660
you still remember lowly Shang County
folks like us
50
00:03:54,740 --> 00:03:55,940
Once the flood subsides
51
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:57,900
we'll make sure we burn the best incense
52
00:03:58,300 --> 00:04:00,700
to pray for Your Majesty's well-being
53
00:04:00,700 --> 00:04:04,380
Mister, hurry and help His Majesty
get on the boat
54
00:04:04,380 --> 00:04:05,580
Come
55
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:07,340
Mind your steps, Your Majesty
56
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:09,540
Careful!
57
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:11,460
Make way
58
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:18,660
- Lord Commissioner!
- Thank you, sir, thanks
59
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:23,780
Wait by the side!
60
00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:26,020
You don't get to board the boat first
61
00:04:26,700 --> 00:04:28,860
- Hold me up. - Come
62
00:04:52,980 --> 00:04:56,500
Seeing is believing indeed!
63
00:04:58,060 --> 00:05:00,300
Never in my wildest dreams
64
00:05:00,580 --> 00:05:01,660
would I have thought
65
00:05:02,060 --> 00:05:04,940
that to curry favor superiors and get promotions
66
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:07,500
the local officials resorted to all tricks
they could think of
67
00:05:09,420 --> 00:05:13,300
No abomination is beyond them!
68
00:05:16,860 --> 00:05:17,820
Wang Xiu
69
00:05:21,660 --> 00:05:22,380
Yes, Your Majesty
70
00:05:22,460 --> 00:05:23,300
Someone said
71
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:26,820
you've got a hand in Yi Zong's matter
72
00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:29,660
I could scarcely believe it
73
00:05:30,660 --> 00:05:35,500
Your Majesty, someone must've
deliberately set me up
74
00:05:35,780 --> 00:05:36,860
That's a false charge
75
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:40,420
I've never had any personal dealings
with Yi Zong
76
00:05:40,580 --> 00:05:43,020
Yeah, I thought so
77
00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:45,500
As a trusted courtier
78
00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:50,460
why would my uncle liaise with such an uncouth man?
79
00:05:52,660 --> 00:05:58,260
Alright, I'll believe you
one more time. Get up
80
00:05:58,820 --> 00:06:01,180
Thank you, Your Majesty
81
00:06:06,820 --> 00:06:07,740
Dongfang Shuo
82
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:14,740
Yes, Your Majesty
83
00:06:17,140 --> 00:06:21,220
You impersonated a commissioner
to distribute food reserves
84
00:06:21,940 --> 00:06:24,420
and even killed an imperial officer
on the sly
85
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:28,460
Why don't you tell me what punishment
I should give you?
86
00:06:29,020 --> 00:06:34,300
I deserve nothing but death, a thousand times over
87
00:06:34,300 --> 00:06:35,540
Well said
88
00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:39,940
Even if I were to kill you a thousand times,
it's only what you deserve
89
00:06:41,140 --> 00:06:41,940
Your Majesty
90
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:48,980
But I'm not a befuddled sovereign either
91
00:06:49,980 --> 00:06:54,220
I know that you did it for the disaster-stricken folks of Shang County
92
00:06:54,340 --> 00:06:58,460
So I won't hold it against you anymore
93
00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:00,580
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty
94
00:07:02,460 --> 00:07:04,860
Your Majesty, I wish to make a statement
95
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:08,940
You're not done yet?
96
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:13,260
Your Majesty. It's understandable that Dongfang Shuo
97
00:07:13,580 --> 00:07:16,660
impersonated a commissioner to distribute food
98
00:07:16,860 --> 00:07:18,260
and that may be overlooked
99
00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:21,700
But him killing an imperial courtier
on the sly?
100
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:24,260
Surely… that's unpardonable!
101
00:07:24,260 --> 00:07:25,500
But I think
102
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:28,260
in such a tumult
103
00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:32,060
Dongfang Shuo was able to prioritize the people
104
00:07:32,500 --> 00:07:35,900
His life may be spared with his merit
making up for his crime
105
00:07:36,860 --> 00:07:37,700
Lord Zhang
106
00:07:38,940 --> 00:07:39,660
Yes
107
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:45,660
Going by the law, is Dongfang Shuo
guilty or not?
108
00:07:46,140 --> 00:07:47,860
By law, he is
109
00:07:48,580 --> 00:07:53,620
- Zhang Tang. - Yes, Your Majesty
110
00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:59,620
Her Majesty the Empress Dowager arrives!
111
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:05,580
Long live the Empress Dowager
112
00:08:05,740 --> 00:08:09,140
- Dear courtiers, arise. - Thanks,
Empress Dowager
113
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:19,580
Greetings, Mother
114
00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:22,060
Whatever it is you require
115
00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:26,380
you need only send a word
and I'll get to it
116
00:08:26,500 --> 00:08:28,100
You needn't have exerted yourself
117
00:08:28,780 --> 00:08:31,980
Your Majesty, am I not welcome here?
118
00:08:32,020 --> 00:08:34,860
I'm worried it'll tire you, Mother
119
00:08:37,340 --> 00:08:40,660
Your Majesty, I just heard
120
00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:42,300
you lot seemingly having a discussion
121
00:08:42,540 --> 00:08:46,100
- regarding Dongfang Shuo's merit
and demerit. - Yes
122
00:08:46,460 --> 00:08:47,940
What was the contention?
123
00:08:51,660 --> 00:08:56,540
- Wang Xiu. - Here I am. - Recount it
to the Empress Dowager
124
00:08:56,580 --> 00:09:01,580
Empress Dowager. Some courtiers
think that Dongfang Shuo's merit
125
00:09:02,420 --> 00:09:06,300
made up for his mistake. But some others disagreed
126
00:09:06,300 --> 00:09:07,420
and demanded his punishment
127
00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:11,180
And what do you think, Your Majesty?
128
00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:16,540
I'm still thinking
129
00:09:18,660 --> 00:09:19,780
Your Majesty
130
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:23,740
you just returned from the Yellow River,
it's a tiring journey
131
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:28,020
Don't tax yourself unduly
over these matters
132
00:09:28,300 --> 00:09:31,020
Don't we have in Zhang Tang
133
00:09:31,020 --> 00:09:33,380
a just, upright official well-versed in law?
134
00:09:33,500 --> 00:09:36,380
Why not let Zhang Tang
handle this matter?
135
00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:39,420
It'll take a load off you, Your Majesty
136
00:09:40,940 --> 00:09:44,780
You can rely on Couriter Zhang's
competence, can't you?
137
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,520
Zhang Tang
138
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:49,840
At your service
139
00:09:50,180 --> 00:09:54,140
You'll have full authority over Dongfang Shuo's case, then
140
00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:56,020
No matter who said it
141
00:09:56,380 --> 00:09:58,900
whatever's been said of him in the past
142
00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:00,340
shall be discounted
143
00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:03,020
You must re-adjudicate
according to the law
144
00:10:03,660 --> 00:10:07,340
His Majesty and I have faith that
you will give fair judgment
145
00:10:07,460 --> 00:10:11,100
and will not disappoint the court
146
00:10:15,660 --> 00:10:16,940
I accept and obey
147
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:20,420
Your Majesty
148
00:10:22,420 --> 00:10:23,220
Your Majesty
149
00:10:25,980 --> 00:10:29,580
Do you want me to head to the Ministry of Justice
150
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:32,340
to give Lord Zhang Tang a heads-up?
151
00:10:34,660 --> 00:10:35,780
What about?
152
00:10:35,940 --> 00:10:37,940
Asking him not to put Dongfang Shuo
in a spot
153
00:10:47,140 --> 00:10:52,100
I'd clearly given my decree in Shang County, he won't go against that
154
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:04,620
It's not that I insist on holding it against
Dongfang Shuo
155
00:11:05,140 --> 00:11:08,260
His previous attempts might be
directed at me
156
00:11:08,820 --> 00:11:09,660
but this time
157
00:11:10,140 --> 00:11:12,700
what he's undermining is your authority
as Emperor
158
00:11:13,500 --> 00:11:14,380
Just think
159
00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:17,860
he's gone on to impersonate a
commissioner and killed an official
160
00:11:20,340 --> 00:11:23,380
Well, he had his reasons and was forced to do it
161
00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:29,940
Your Majesty. You can become
the supreme emperor of all time
162
00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:31,460
But because of that
163
00:11:31,780 --> 00:11:34,860
all the more you cannot allow any courtier
to have his own way
164
00:11:35,540 --> 00:11:38,860
Even if you had to make a courtier bleed
along the way up
165
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:40,660
you mustn't hesitate
166
00:11:40,860 --> 00:11:42,100
It's as you say, Mother
167
00:11:42,820 --> 00:11:46,100
But I need capable ministers
to support me
168
00:11:46,340 --> 00:11:48,700
You're better off choosing
mediocre yes men
169
00:11:49,260 --> 00:11:51,740
than tolerating impertinent talents
170
00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:56,620
But who's mediocre, and who's talented?
171
00:11:57,060 --> 00:11:59,420
As for who I can or cannot employ
172
00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:03,180
I have my own considerations
173
00:12:05,700 --> 00:12:08,660
Are you implying my input in these important things isn't needed?
174
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:12,140
Sure, I can let go of other matters
175
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:14,900
but there's no getting me off
Dongfang Shuo's case
176
00:12:15,660 --> 00:12:17,180
Over my dead body
177
00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:23,100
Mother, do you remember
178
00:12:23,380 --> 00:12:25,820
that court session when Dongfang Shuo
wanted to crush
179
00:12:25,820 --> 00:12:28,660
the conspiracy among royal relatives?
180
00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:30,620
- What are you getting at? - Nothing
181
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:35,420
It's just that I'm surprised at myself
182
00:12:35,740 --> 00:12:39,740
To think I could turn things around
at the flip of my hand
183
00:12:40,220 --> 00:12:41,380
I'm even more surprised
184
00:12:41,500 --> 00:12:42,580
at how all the main ministers
185
00:12:42,580 --> 00:12:44,820
could follow my hand movements
186
00:12:45,540 --> 00:12:46,500
I didn't expect
187
00:12:47,620 --> 00:12:50,860
that I actually have such might
188
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:53,340
Liu Che. Are you threatening me?
189
00:12:53,820 --> 00:12:54,980
I'm simply saying
190
00:12:55,700 --> 00:12:58,380
what an emperor should say right
at this moment
191
00:12:58,380 --> 00:12:59,780
You…
192
00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:04,140
You're my son first and foremost
193
00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:08,140
It's precisely because I'm your son
194
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:12,580
that I've always held back when it comes to you
195
00:13:13,580 --> 00:13:14,260
You!
196
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:16,260
You…
197
00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:17,700
Mother
198
00:13:19,060 --> 00:13:20,740
don't force my hand
199
00:13:21,020 --> 00:13:22,540
Really, just don't
200
00:14:13,220 --> 00:14:13,940
Sis
201
00:14:14,780 --> 00:14:15,540
Sis
202
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:19,020
Sir Jing and his wife are here
203
00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:23,060
Go serve tea
204
00:14:23,060 --> 00:14:24,140
Right on
205
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:27,940
Lady Qiu
206
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:30,900
Sir, ma'am, this way please
207
00:14:35,060 --> 00:14:36,380
Here you go
208
00:14:37,540 --> 00:14:38,580
Drink some
209
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:43,540
- Please. - Thanks
210
00:14:46,580 --> 00:14:50,660
- Let me, thanks. - Please
211
00:14:54,220 --> 00:14:56,260
What brings you both into the Capital?
212
00:14:56,580 --> 00:14:57,940
What's the situation in Shang County?
213
00:14:58,340 --> 00:15:00,060
They're repairing the embankments
on the double
214
00:15:00,060 --> 00:15:02,180
The newly appointed magistrate from
the court has started work too
215
00:15:02,180 --> 00:15:04,060
There's nothing much we can do
there anyway
216
00:15:04,060 --> 00:15:06,060
Luo Qi keeps on worrying
217
00:15:06,060 --> 00:15:07,940
about Lord Dongfang's safety
in the Capital
218
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:09,580
so we rushed here
219
00:15:09,900 --> 00:15:11,940
You truly think far ahead, madam
220
00:15:13,060 --> 00:15:14,580
Looks like Dongfang Shuo
221
00:15:15,260 --> 00:15:17,380
is finally at his wits' end this round
222
00:15:17,740 --> 00:15:19,100
What did His Majesty do to him?
223
00:15:19,100 --> 00:15:20,900
Placed him on death row
224
00:15:22,060 --> 00:15:23,460
awaiting Zhang Tang's adjudication
225
00:15:27,180 --> 00:15:27,940
Don't worry, Lady Qiu
226
00:15:28,180 --> 00:15:30,740
This time we'll definitely get Dongfang Shuo out to safety
227
00:15:32,820 --> 00:15:35,540
Sir Jing, it's not that simple
228
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:40,060
Apparently, even Princess Pingyang
was turned away
229
00:15:41,020 --> 00:15:43,100
Everyone who's trying to appeal on behalf of Dongfang Shuo
230
00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,260
was all sent away by
the empress dowager
231
00:15:45,420 --> 00:15:47,860
We're not planning to seek Empress Dowager and His Majesty
232
00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:52,660
Then… don't tell me, you thought of another way?
233
00:15:53,580 --> 00:15:56,620
- To remove a charge, one needs the perpetrator. - Who started it?
234
00:15:58,020 --> 00:15:59,860
And who can remove the charge?
235
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:01,620
This all started because of Yi Zong
236
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:04,220
Yi Zong was Wang Xiu's pupil
237
00:16:04,220 --> 00:16:06,820
whereas Wang Xiu is Empress Dowager's
younger brother
238
00:16:06,820 --> 00:16:11,420
So the man at the heart of the issue
should be Wang Xiu
239
00:16:17,780 --> 00:16:21,860
Jing Kui, how dare you trespass into my study!
240
00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:24,900
Your high walls are still not enough
to keep me out
241
00:16:25,140 --> 00:16:28,180
Trespassing into official residence
is a crime!
242
00:16:29,860 --> 00:16:33,860
I've trespassed so many places,
I'm past caring
243
00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:35,940
Don't think it's anything bad either
244
00:16:36,420 --> 00:16:38,420
What's your deal?
245
00:16:39,660 --> 00:16:40,980
I'm saving your life
246
00:16:41,580 --> 00:16:44,700
I thought the great Sir Jing's out
to end my life
247
00:16:49,380 --> 00:16:51,100
If I'd wanted to do so
248
00:16:51,140 --> 00:16:52,700
I needn't even lift a finger
249
00:16:52,700 --> 00:16:54,020
someone else would've come
250
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:55,900
Who?
251
00:16:56,140 --> 00:16:58,540
- Bearer of the imperial insignia, Zhang Tang. - Zhang Tang?
252
00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:03,660
I didn't do anything illegal
253
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:06,580
Even if Zhang Tang had a
giant beating rod
254
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:09,900
he can't touch the back of my bum
255
00:17:10,940 --> 00:17:12,980
If he knew that you incited Yi Zong
256
00:17:13,260 --> 00:17:15,780
so you rise up the ranks and engage in corruption
257
00:17:16,100 --> 00:17:19,100
while inflating taxes and extorting for personal gains
258
00:17:19,660 --> 00:17:21,100
you still think he can't beat you?
259
00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:26,140
Nonsense! I have no ties to Yi Zong at all!
260
00:17:28,580 --> 00:17:29,540
Is that so?
261
00:17:31,340 --> 00:17:33,420
But why would Yi Zong confess
262
00:17:33,700 --> 00:17:36,780
that if he falls, he's taking you down
with him?
263
00:17:42,420 --> 00:17:45,260
This is fake! A fabrication!
264
00:17:46,780 --> 00:17:48,380
Sharp eyes you've got there, Lord Wang
265
00:17:49,220 --> 00:17:50,860
It's a fabrication alright
266
00:17:51,140 --> 00:17:52,780
Because the original is with me
267
00:17:53,660 --> 00:17:55,900
I won't just hand it out so easily
268
00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:57,540
What evidence have you got
269
00:17:57,540 --> 00:17:59,380
proving that the confession is genuine?
270
00:18:00,380 --> 00:18:02,060
You shouldn't have killed Yi Zong
271
00:18:02,060 --> 00:18:03,740
By killing him
272
00:18:03,740 --> 00:18:05,620
you're just helping me create
273
00:18:05,620 --> 00:18:08,220
a hopeless case without a witness
274
00:18:09,620 --> 00:18:12,020
How clever of you, Lord Wang
275
00:18:12,580 --> 00:18:14,300
You haven't spent decades of indulgence for nothing
276
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:17,340
But those letters you wrote to Yi Zong
277
00:18:17,820 --> 00:18:20,420
were so cherished by Yi Zong, he kept them all
278
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:22,460
You have those?
279
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:26,300
Of course
280
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:29,460
you can say that your own handwritten letters are fake too
281
00:18:29,980 --> 00:18:32,340
So long as Zhang Tang
believes you, that is
282
00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:39,900
Lord Wang, cat got your tongue?
283
00:18:43,540 --> 00:18:45,220
What do you want me to do?
284
00:18:45,220 --> 00:18:46,700
Make Dongfang Shuo not die
285
00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:50,620
His fate is up to His Majesty and Empress Dowager
286
00:18:50,620 --> 00:18:52,220
Why would I have a say?
287
00:18:52,220 --> 00:18:55,060
You do. You can persuade
Empress Dowager
288
00:18:57,980 --> 00:18:59,060
And if I don't?
289
00:18:59,060 --> 00:19:00,500
Then tomorrow morning
290
00:19:00,500 --> 00:19:02,500
those letters you wrote to Yi Zong
291
00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:04,940
will all land on Zhang Tang's desk
292
00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:26,860
Greetings, Empress Dowager
293
00:19:28,860 --> 00:19:30,140
It's you
294
00:19:31,180 --> 00:19:33,860
How many times have I told you?
295
00:19:34,140 --> 00:19:36,780
Don't keep coming
to the Palace for no reason
296
00:19:36,780 --> 00:19:39,300
Spend more time in your office
297
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:43,620
Let your colleagues see your hardworking persona
298
00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:45,140
Yes
299
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:47,820
Sister
300
00:19:48,620 --> 00:19:52,580
I spent all of last night thinking
back and forth
301
00:19:52,580 --> 00:19:53,860
I think
302
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:59,500
it's truly a waste to kill off a talent like Dongfang Shuo
303
00:20:01,260 --> 00:20:05,540
H… how come you're speaking up
for him now?
304
00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:09,220
- Empress Dowager, I think… - Stop
305
00:20:10,100 --> 00:20:13,220
Whenever I think of the late imperial guard
306
00:20:13,220 --> 00:20:16,180
my heart throbs with pain
307
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:20,500
Sister, I hate Dongfang Shuo
308
00:20:20,500 --> 00:20:22,980
as much as you do
309
00:20:22,980 --> 00:20:26,500
I, too, wish to avenge that guard
310
00:20:26,780 --> 00:20:30,060
But internal and external ministers are all talking
311
00:20:30,060 --> 00:20:34,700
about how Dongfang Shuo killed the guard to help His Majesty
312
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:36,940
You hate him in your heart
313
00:20:36,940 --> 00:20:40,820
so by wanting to use this chance
to vent your hate
314
00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:44,460
- you're basically airing dirty laundry! - So what if I am?
315
00:20:50,420 --> 00:20:55,660
My dear sister, a chancellor can stomach anything, so the saying goes
316
00:20:55,980 --> 00:20:57,660
Not killing Dongfang Shuo
317
00:20:57,660 --> 00:21:01,220
will not only appease the gossip within and outside the court
318
00:21:01,220 --> 00:21:03,740
but it'll also let the major ministers
319
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:06,500
admire your compassion even more
320
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:10,780
Find another reason
to kill him in the future
321
00:21:11,460 --> 00:21:14,140
and no one else would bring it up
322
00:21:17,500 --> 00:21:22,220
Your Majesty, I have made a decision
on Dongfang Shuo's case
323
00:21:22,420 --> 00:21:24,060
What is to be done?
324
00:21:24,060 --> 00:21:28,740
Impersonating an envoy and killing a courtier are punishable by death
325
00:21:28,740 --> 00:21:30,180
Zhang Tang
326
00:21:30,580 --> 00:21:33,820
Your Majesty. I wish to make a statement
327
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:36,300
What is it?
328
00:21:36,300 --> 00:21:40,940
I beseech Your Majesty to grant Dongfang Shuo clemency from death
329
00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:48,020
Wang Xiu
330
00:21:48,500 --> 00:21:49,460
Yes, Your Majesty
331
00:21:50,260 --> 00:21:53,140
Dongfang Shuo has invariably been at loggerheads with you
332
00:21:53,140 --> 00:21:56,940
How come you thought of pleading
for him now?
333
00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:00,140
Allow me, Your Majesty
334
00:22:02,420 --> 00:22:06,700
What Dongfang Shuo and I share is but a personal vendetta
335
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:08,260
I seek to preserve Dongfang Shuo
336
00:22:08,260 --> 00:22:11,420
for the well-being of the Great Han country
337
00:22:11,420 --> 00:22:15,140
Dongfang Shuo had achieved great merits for the court
338
00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:19,220
Killing Dongfang Shuo may just crush the goodwill of the land's talents
339
00:22:19,860 --> 00:22:24,220
Of course, killing Dongfang Shuo can serve as a deterrent
340
00:22:24,220 --> 00:22:26,060
But not killing him
341
00:22:26,060 --> 00:22:31,340
and simply stripping him of his post
can achieve the same effect
342
00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:39,340
Well said, Uncle
343
00:22:40,940 --> 00:22:44,860
I now declare to waive the death penalty for Dongfang Shuo
344
00:22:44,860 --> 00:22:47,260
From now on he's relegated to a citizen,
never to officiate again
345
00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:52,420
A wise decision, Your Majesty
346
00:22:56,500 --> 00:22:59,540
Your Majesty, Dongfang Shuo is here to proffer his thanks
347
00:23:02,060 --> 00:23:04,060
- Let him in. - Yes
348
00:23:10,020 --> 00:23:11,700
Your disgraced minister… I mean
349
00:23:12,180 --> 00:23:17,540
Greetings from your subject, Your Majesty.
Long live Your Majesty!
350
00:23:20,340 --> 00:23:21,500
Dongfang Shuo
351
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:25,780
So you managed to escape the gallows this time, too
352
00:23:25,780 --> 00:23:28,140
You sure have your ways
353
00:23:29,580 --> 00:23:33,100
Out with it, what trick did you use
354
00:23:33,100 --> 00:23:35,780
to make even Wang Xiu step out
to defend you?
355
00:23:36,060 --> 00:23:40,300
Your Majesty, His Highness and I were teacher and student
356
00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:41,620
What?
357
00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:45,420
- You're teacher and student? - Yes
358
00:23:46,300 --> 00:23:50,260
Your Majesty, I once taught the royal uncle horseriding
359
00:23:50,260 --> 00:23:54,100
The saying goes, once a teacher,
always a parent
360
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:58,060
When one's teacher is cornered, a pupil will naturally lend a hand
361
00:23:58,060 --> 00:23:59,420
Shut your trap
362
00:24:02,300 --> 00:24:04,940
- Get up. - Thanks, Your Majesty
363
00:24:08,380 --> 00:24:11,300
Now that I've demoted you
to common folk status
364
00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:12,540
do you have any complaints?
365
00:24:13,020 --> 00:24:16,260
Your Majesty, I am beyond grateful
366
00:24:16,260 --> 00:24:18,340
why would I even have any complaints?
367
00:24:18,340 --> 00:24:21,180
Now then, I'll pack up and move out immediately
368
00:24:21,820 --> 00:24:23,940
Move out? Where to?
369
00:24:23,940 --> 00:24:25,660
Back to my old home in Shandong
370
00:24:26,980 --> 00:24:30,140
Back to Shandong? You wish!
371
00:24:30,940 --> 00:24:34,180
Stay put in the Capital now, I say
372
00:24:36,340 --> 00:24:41,460
Your Majesty, I'm literally
unwanted filth now
373
00:24:41,460 --> 00:24:45,140
No matter how I strive, I can't do anything
374
00:24:45,940 --> 00:24:49,220
If you force me and my family
to stay in Chang'an
375
00:24:49,220 --> 00:24:51,980
what are we going to eat?
376
00:24:51,980 --> 00:24:54,740
That's no different from
starving us to death
377
00:24:54,740 --> 00:24:58,620
I don't care. You can do street performances, can't you?
378
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:02,980
Set up your stall like you used to
379
00:25:02,980 --> 00:25:05,140
and go showcase your bag of tricks
380
00:25:29,540 --> 00:25:31,580
Here, young mister
381
00:25:32,260 --> 00:25:35,260
Take this home and consume a bowl each, mornings and evenings
382
00:25:35,260 --> 00:25:38,580
- In three days your body will recover. - Thanks, sir
383
00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:41,980
Take care, young sir
384
00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:44,300
My turn
385
00:25:44,300 --> 00:25:45,500
Sir
386
00:25:45,500 --> 00:25:49,620
are you here for face-reading, divination,
literomancy or fortune lots?
387
00:25:49,620 --> 00:25:52,620
- Fortune sticks, I suppose. - Please
388
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:02,220
You got yourself the best
of luck here, mister
389
00:26:02,660 --> 00:26:07,780
Lord Zhao the Marshal rides a black tiger, a match made in heaven
390
00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:12,780
Avoid construction when dragon and serpent meet; spring is the best time
391
00:26:12,780 --> 00:26:17,780
Sir, aside from avoiding construction work this year
392
00:26:17,780 --> 00:26:20,300
your business will prosper
393
00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:24,300
Any marriage will be harmonious, blessed with many sons
394
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:27,780
Any long trips will be smooth-sailing too
395
00:26:27,780 --> 00:26:31,820
Great! I was just planning to get a wife
for my son this year
396
00:26:31,820 --> 00:26:33,580
Then everything is set!
397
00:26:33,580 --> 00:26:35,140
What did I just say
398
00:26:35,140 --> 00:26:36,460
A marriage this year
399
00:26:36,460 --> 00:26:40,100
is a match made in heaven!
400
00:26:40,100 --> 00:26:43,100
Do you know how rare such things are?
401
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:46,460
Isn't that a sure sign that once your son marries a wife
402
00:26:46,460 --> 00:26:48,220
they'll be blessed with sons
and grandsons?
403
00:26:48,620 --> 00:26:51,020
Alright, may those be prophetic words
404
00:26:55,540 --> 00:26:57,780
Take care, sir
405
00:27:01,580 --> 00:27:05,300
Interpret a divination for me too,
I'll pay more
406
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:07,340
Lord Qiankun!
407
00:27:07,380 --> 00:27:10,940
Who said I'm leaving? Whoever leaves is a loser!
408
00:27:11,820 --> 00:27:14,820
Fine, go get water. I've got cooking to do
409
00:27:14,820 --> 00:27:16,940
Always maligning me
410
00:27:18,500 --> 00:27:19,180
Brother
411
00:27:20,820 --> 00:27:21,860
You're here
412
00:27:23,940 --> 00:27:26,660
Qiu, look who's here
413
00:27:26,980 --> 00:27:29,020
- Lady Qiu. - Qiankunzi?
414
00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:32,700
Oh my, my hands are dirty
415
00:27:33,300 --> 00:27:35,740
And our house is pretty shabby, there's no proper place to sit
416
00:27:37,140 --> 00:27:38,820
But we'll soon change our dwellings
417
00:27:39,220 --> 00:27:40,380
once we spot a good one
418
00:27:42,620 --> 00:27:45,020
Lady Qiu, Dongfang Shuo
419
00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:47,980
had told me all about your circumstance
420
00:27:48,300 --> 00:27:51,140
Even with all the unpredictable
ups and downs
421
00:27:51,300 --> 00:27:52,300
he'll live
422
00:27:53,180 --> 00:27:54,780
Dongfang Shuo has said that
423
00:27:55,020 --> 00:27:58,180
a skillful all-rounder can trade with kings
424
00:27:58,540 --> 00:28:00,380
Every expertise of Dongfang's
425
00:28:00,380 --> 00:28:02,100
is fit for emperors
426
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:03,820
I get it
427
00:28:03,820 --> 00:28:07,260
Qiu, just hurry and cook some food
428
00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:10,380
Yes, dear
429
00:28:10,380 --> 00:28:12,700
Stop chewing the fat here
430
00:28:18,660 --> 00:28:21,820
So in the Capital, she listens
to you instead?
431
00:28:21,820 --> 00:28:23,700
Yeah, what's so strange about that?
432
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:28,580
Who d'you think I am? Come, let's talk in the study
433
00:28:29,060 --> 00:28:30,540
You're now…
434
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:34,900
- Come, have a seat. - Sure
435
00:28:40,100 --> 00:28:44,020
What's that you're writing?
And who's it for?
436
00:28:44,140 --> 00:28:45,580
Still writing to His Majesty?
437
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:48,900
It's for myself, to practice my penmanship
438
00:28:51,300 --> 00:28:54,300
Equal parts rain and dew?
What's that mean?
439
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:57,940
You sprinkling some drizzle on everyone's heads?
440
00:28:59,220 --> 00:29:00,660
Wicked humor you've got there
441
00:29:01,020 --> 00:29:02,380
How about we sit and talk
442
00:29:04,380 --> 00:29:06,140
Back in Jingchu
443
00:29:06,140 --> 00:29:08,660
Princess Liu Nan and I had multiple talks
444
00:29:08,660 --> 00:29:10,980
about the relationship between vassal kings and our court
445
00:29:11,300 --> 00:29:13,540
Back then, I had many ideas
446
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:16,540
And now, I'm idling around at home
447
00:29:16,540 --> 00:29:18,100
So I took those ideas
448
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:20,020
and tidied them all up
449
00:29:20,020 --> 00:29:22,180
Who knows, they might be useful one day
450
00:29:22,780 --> 00:29:23,780
You're right
451
00:29:25,580 --> 00:29:27,060
Dongfang, tell me
452
00:29:27,700 --> 00:29:30,140
what do you mean by this rain
and dew principle?
453
00:29:32,340 --> 00:29:35,220
Qiankun, you've come all the way here
454
00:29:35,220 --> 00:29:36,700
Can I ask you first?
455
00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:38,980
What brings you to Chang'an?
456
00:29:44,660 --> 00:29:45,860
I'll be frank with you
457
00:29:46,660 --> 00:29:52,100
Right now, I am extremely unsure
458
00:29:53,060 --> 00:29:55,780
Wow, there's actually something
you can't decide on?
459
00:29:56,940 --> 00:29:58,380
You do know
460
00:29:58,380 --> 00:30:00,420
that Liu Hao, son to King of Jingchu
461
00:30:00,420 --> 00:30:03,980
looks up to me and regards me highly
462
00:30:04,580 --> 00:30:06,460
But he's young and brash
463
00:30:06,460 --> 00:30:09,580
while Jingchu is rich in resources
and people
464
00:30:10,180 --> 00:30:12,180
I'd long noticed that this Liu Hao
465
00:30:12,180 --> 00:30:16,460
isn't a weakling content with slim pickings
466
00:30:17,860 --> 00:30:20,460
If one day he gets up
and starts something
467
00:30:20,460 --> 00:30:22,620
anything can happen
468
00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:23,980
But if he wins
469
00:30:23,980 --> 00:30:26,580
won't you become a leader
among officers?
470
00:30:26,580 --> 00:30:28,340
But what if he loses?
471
00:30:29,740 --> 00:30:33,300
There's nothing in this world
that isn't a gamble
472
00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:35,500
Get your bets right, and you win
473
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:38,500
Miss your bets, and lose every last bit
474
00:30:38,500 --> 00:30:40,180
That is why
475
00:30:40,180 --> 00:30:44,700
the most crucial thing is to know where to place the bet
476
00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:49,500
So you came to Chang'an to gauge the situation, huh?
477
00:30:52,340 --> 00:30:53,940
Qiankun
478
00:30:59,260 --> 00:31:03,420
Dongfang Shuo, you're no longer in court now, just a neutral bystander
479
00:31:05,580 --> 00:31:06,940
Help me figure things out
480
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:11,940
If and when Jingchu
and the empire collide
481
00:31:11,940 --> 00:31:13,300
which side will win?
482
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:16,060
What a no-brainer, definitely the empire
483
00:31:18,740 --> 00:31:19,220
Why
484
00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:21,380
From times immemorial good triumphs
over evil
485
00:31:22,140 --> 00:31:26,380
Even with Jingchu's huge army, numerous generals and ample rations
486
00:31:26,380 --> 00:31:28,660
once they stage a mutiny
487
00:31:28,660 --> 00:31:29,980
that's treachery of the highest order
488
00:31:31,580 --> 00:31:36,020
Help comes to the morally upright, but the immoral loses allies
489
00:31:36,620 --> 00:31:38,100
With one single decree from His Majesty
490
00:31:38,100 --> 00:31:40,940
the respective vassal kings will respond
491
00:31:40,940 --> 00:31:42,620
and send troops to protect the ruler
492
00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:46,180
At that moment, the King of Jingchu
493
00:31:46,180 --> 00:31:49,780
will have a target on his back, to be defeated and derided
494
00:31:51,740 --> 00:31:56,340
Good point. But the imperial court…
495
00:31:58,780 --> 00:32:01,620
The imperial court has a
fatal weakness too
496
00:32:02,780 --> 00:32:06,100
You see, each vassal king rules independently, there's no consistency
497
00:32:06,340 --> 00:32:08,060
If things drag on
498
00:32:08,060 --> 00:32:14,020
the country is bound to
deteriorate and perish
499
00:32:14,740 --> 00:32:19,500
Take a look. The rain and dew principle:
a fair distribution of gains
500
00:32:20,940 --> 00:32:23,820
This is a sound prescription for statesmanship I'm presenting
501
00:32:23,820 --> 00:32:26,060
to His Majesty
502
00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:30,940
- Bro! - What is it?
503
00:32:34,220 --> 00:32:38,140
- Excuse me, I'll be right back.
- Sure, please
504
00:32:39,460 --> 00:32:40,940
What is it? Can't you see I'm…
505
00:32:47,100 --> 00:32:48,980
Bro, my sis is asking
506
00:32:48,980 --> 00:32:51,540
if we're letting Qiankunzi
stay on for dinner
507
00:32:51,540 --> 00:32:54,860
Let him. Just another mouth and another pair of chopsticks
508
00:32:54,860 --> 00:32:57,700
We won't go broke just from this meal
509
00:32:57,700 --> 00:32:58,860
But then…
510
00:33:02,420 --> 00:33:03,340
Go buy some drink and dishes
511
00:33:10,540 --> 00:33:11,140
That's it
512
00:33:12,180 --> 00:33:13,580
just go
513
00:33:21,660 --> 00:33:22,540
Qiankun
514
00:33:26,140 --> 00:33:29,140
Dongfang Shuo, I say!
515
00:33:29,580 --> 00:33:33,140
Truly, you're an incarnate of master philosophers and strategists!
516
00:33:33,340 --> 00:33:35,020
Such an advanced scheme
517
00:33:35,140 --> 00:33:37,380
could only have come from
that brain of yours!
518
00:33:37,540 --> 00:33:39,180
Is that so? Goes without saying
519
00:33:39,740 --> 00:33:42,860
I mean, Qiankun, you flatter me
520
00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:46,060
But then, I'd like to tell you a secret
521
00:33:48,300 --> 00:33:50,980
Mountains can only converse
with mountains
522
00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:54,140
How could a mountain communicate
with a valley?
523
00:33:59,780 --> 00:34:03,060
Dongfang Shuo. You're making
as if to praise me
524
00:34:03,300 --> 00:34:07,420
- but in fact you're commending yourself. - I wouldn't dare!
525
00:34:09,660 --> 00:34:13,300
As long as you present this essay
to His Majesty
526
00:34:13,500 --> 00:34:15,020
he'll be elated
527
00:34:15,220 --> 00:34:18,820
Then your fortunes will be set forth in motion once more
528
00:34:23,100 --> 00:34:25,980
Right now I'm not in a hurry to give it to His Majesty
529
00:34:26,420 --> 00:34:27,300
Why?
530
00:34:28,340 --> 00:34:30,020
Now's not the time to execute it
531
00:34:30,620 --> 00:34:34,020
If it's forcefully implemented, it would
cause huge chaos instead
532
00:34:37,820 --> 00:34:40,540
Then when are you planning
on presenting it?
533
00:34:40,740 --> 00:34:41,820
Let's just wait and see
534
00:34:44,380 --> 00:34:47,780
I'm aiming for the most opportune time
535
00:34:52,060 --> 00:34:55,580
Alright
536
00:34:55,580 --> 00:34:57,420
Sure
537
00:35:00,140 --> 00:35:02,980
Princess, I've brought him here
538
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:11,780
Princess
539
00:35:14,540 --> 00:35:15,020
Surprised, huh?
540
00:35:15,820 --> 00:35:17,860
Yes, I am
541
00:35:17,860 --> 00:35:19,660
Why have you come to Chang'an too,
Princess?
542
00:35:21,460 --> 00:35:24,020
My brother's worried that you can't persuade Dongfang Shuo
543
00:35:24,020 --> 00:35:26,220
so he let me follow up
544
00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:31,340
I already told His Highness back
in Jingchu
545
00:35:31,340 --> 00:35:34,020
Dongfang Shuo is haughty
and full of himself
546
00:35:34,020 --> 00:35:35,900
He won't go to Jingchu
547
00:35:36,500 --> 00:35:37,940
That was then
548
00:35:37,940 --> 00:35:40,380
He's now kicked out of the imperial court
549
00:35:40,380 --> 00:35:43,260
An invite to be an official in Jingchu is his only way out
550
00:35:44,020 --> 00:35:46,540
But I just came from
Dongfang Shuo's house
551
00:35:46,940 --> 00:35:49,100
He's not planning to leave Chang'an at all
552
00:35:51,980 --> 00:35:54,500
Then you'd better make it clear to him
553
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:58,340
that Jingchu is asking him to be Chancellor. That'll move him, no?
554
00:35:58,340 --> 00:36:01,540
I did. That made him even haughtier
555
00:36:01,540 --> 00:36:03,780
He said compared to His Majesty,
the King of Jingchu
556
00:36:03,780 --> 00:36:06,620
is but a mere pebble beneath
a high mountain
557
00:36:06,620 --> 00:36:09,220
a shrub underneath a pine tree
558
00:36:09,220 --> 00:36:11,380
- a drop in the ocean… - Enough
559
00:36:12,380 --> 00:36:14,700
A petty man like you
560
00:36:14,700 --> 00:36:17,580
definitely won't say anything good to Dongfang Shuo
561
00:36:17,940 --> 00:36:20,500
And he most definitely won't say such things to you
562
00:36:21,620 --> 00:36:24,700
That's why I've rushed here especially
563
00:36:25,020 --> 00:36:27,140
You'd best return earlier if there's
nothing else
564
00:36:27,580 --> 00:36:30,100
I'll take over everything in Chang'an
565
00:36:32,980 --> 00:36:34,180
I'll take my leave
566
00:37:07,380 --> 00:37:10,180
- Morning, sir. - Miss
567
00:37:11,060 --> 00:37:13,140
- The princess is here. - Where is she?
568
00:37:13,820 --> 00:37:15,500
She wants to see you
569
00:37:16,140 --> 00:37:17,100
Now's not a good time
570
00:37:18,060 --> 00:37:19,300
I'm a convict
571
00:37:19,300 --> 00:37:22,020
There are spies monitoring my every move around here
572
00:37:22,020 --> 00:37:24,740
The princess had said that no matter what's your status now
573
00:37:24,740 --> 00:37:26,820
she wants to see you anyway
574
00:37:30,180 --> 00:37:31,780
Then tell the princess
575
00:37:31,780 --> 00:37:34,780
to go to the city's southern suburb, and wait for me at a forest there
576
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:37,740
- Go on now. - OK
577
00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:48,340
I'd have to trouble you again
578
00:37:48,980 --> 00:37:50,620
- Here. - It's okay
579
00:37:50,620 --> 00:37:52,820
Just put it at the usual spot like before
580
00:37:58,620 --> 00:38:00,300
Thanks
581
00:38:14,740 --> 00:38:15,700
Hey
582
00:38:16,180 --> 00:38:18,180
How come the stall's not even here?
583
00:38:24,020 --> 00:38:25,300
Well, well, Dongfang Shuo!
584
00:38:29,500 --> 00:38:31,780
You're Qiu Hu, Sir Qiu, aren't you?
585
00:38:33,660 --> 00:38:35,020
I am Qiu Hu, Sir Qiu, yes
586
00:38:35,820 --> 00:38:36,420
Someone's asked me to tell you
587
00:38:36,940 --> 00:38:38,060
to stop looking for Dongfang Shuo
588
00:38:38,860 --> 00:38:40,220
He's been called away by a woman
589
00:38:40,220 --> 00:38:43,420
Woman? Where?
590
00:38:43,940 --> 00:38:45,500
It's a very young woman
591
00:38:45,740 --> 00:38:47,780
They're heading toward the southern gate
592
00:38:48,180 --> 00:38:50,740
Very young, you say?
593
00:39:15,620 --> 00:39:17,140
Dongfang Shuo!
594
00:39:17,140 --> 00:39:18,500
Greetings, Princess
595
00:39:19,900 --> 00:39:23,580
May I ask, your sudden arrival
in Chang'an is…
596
00:39:26,020 --> 00:39:27,300
Are you alright?
597
00:39:28,460 --> 00:39:31,340
Thank God, this head of mine is still intact
598
00:39:34,780 --> 00:39:35,260
Believe it or not
599
00:39:37,220 --> 00:39:39,020
since we parted ways last time
600
00:39:40,020 --> 00:39:42,140
I often dreamed
601
00:39:46,700 --> 00:39:48,020
about the times we spent together
602
00:39:49,860 --> 00:39:53,100
Princess, who am I Dongfang Shuo
603
00:39:53,940 --> 00:39:56,420
to merit an intrusion in your thoughts?
604
00:39:59,020 --> 00:40:00,300
What are you retreating for?
605
00:40:01,780 --> 00:40:02,660
Scared I'll eat you up?
606
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:09,060
Stand closer
607
00:40:12,580 --> 00:40:13,620
Closer!
608
00:40:13,940 --> 00:40:15,900
Surely this is already close enough?
609
00:40:16,780 --> 00:40:17,980
Again, Princess
610
00:40:18,380 --> 00:40:20,340
What brings you to Chang'an
all of a sudden?
611
00:40:23,020 --> 00:40:24,180
I'm here on my brother's request
612
00:40:24,780 --> 00:40:26,660
to especially get you genius
to return to the fore
613
00:40:26,780 --> 00:40:30,580
I'm a guilty convict and in no position to act rashly
614
00:40:31,540 --> 00:40:36,060
Dongfang Shuo, you are no longer
an official at the imperial court
615
00:40:37,660 --> 00:40:39,660
You can go wherever you want
616
00:40:40,460 --> 00:40:41,380
But the problem is that His Majesty
has ordered me
617
00:40:42,260 --> 00:40:44,900
not to leave Chang'an, not even an inch
618
00:40:45,980 --> 00:40:46,860
That doesn't make sense!
619
00:40:48,620 --> 00:40:52,260
Then I'll go to the imperial palace right away to ask His Majesty for you43309
