1
00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:02,629
(The Shadow Sovereign)

2
00:01:02,710 --> 00:01:05,480
(Episode 15)

3
00:01:08,162 --> 00:01:09,360
Censor Shen.

4
00:01:09,643 --> 00:01:10,804
Zhao Yang.

5
00:01:11,083 --> 00:01:12,760
Are you all here?

6
00:01:19,702 --> 00:01:20,800
(Linglong Pavilion)

7
00:01:22,939 --> 00:01:25,040
Anyone else want to come up and join the fun?

8
00:01:25,882 --> 00:01:27,240
How did they get out?

9
00:01:28,682 --> 00:01:31,239
- How'd they manage to get out?   - They escaped in less than 30 minutes.

10
00:01:31,345 --> 00:01:32,680
That's awesome.

11
00:01:33,020 --> 00:01:34,621
How'd they get out from there?

12
00:01:45,522 --> 00:01:47,125
(It was just a kiss, right?)

13
00:01:47,242 --> 00:01:48,525
(Why am I freaking out?)

14
00:01:49,418 --> 00:01:51,180
Your Highness, you finally got out.

15
00:01:54,163 --> 00:01:55,884
Your Highness, what's this about?

16
00:01:56,857 --> 00:01:57,879
Pay up.

17
00:01:58,083 --> 00:01:59,525
I wrecked the door.

18
00:02:03,761 --> 00:02:06,643
I see. Your Highness escaped in a panic without thinking.

19
00:02:07,195 --> 00:02:09,956
Say one more word, and I'll dock your whole monthly salary.

20
00:02:13,465 --> 00:02:14,487
Go on.

21
00:02:15,043 --> 00:02:16,444
Recluse Le Sheng wants to see you.

22
00:02:16,962 --> 00:02:18,365
Next time, start with what's important.

23
00:02:27,643 --> 00:02:29,708
Your Highness, your pulse is racing.

24
00:02:29,842 --> 00:02:31,724
That means you care about me.

25
00:02:47,083 --> 00:02:51,630
Censor Shen, looks like your key wasn't needed after all.

26
00:02:55,763 --> 00:02:57,440
The real point of this test

27
00:02:57,565 --> 00:02:59,406
was never about keys or doors.

28
00:03:01,522 --> 00:03:03,645
It's about having the guts to open that door.

29
00:03:04,363 --> 00:03:07,920
So, every door here is the right one.

30
00:03:08,042 --> 00:03:11,283
The test is about the courage to make a choice together.

31
00:03:14,419 --> 00:03:15,473
Censor Shen.

32
00:03:15,697 --> 00:03:17,655
Honestly, after seeing you today,

33
00:03:17,763 --> 00:03:18,924
I knew right away

34
00:03:19,242 --> 00:03:22,245
that things aren't simple between you and Zhao Yang.

35
00:03:27,772 --> 00:03:29,554
Thank you, County Princess, for making this possible.

36
00:03:30,207 --> 00:03:31,378
Why thank me?

37
00:03:31,598 --> 00:03:34,413
Watching the ever-calm Princess Zhao Yang

38
00:03:34,494 --> 00:03:35,772
completely lose her cool,

39
00:03:35,885 --> 00:03:38,520
and the proud Top Scholar caught up in love

40
00:03:38,661 --> 00:03:39,817
and boldly demanding affection.

41
00:03:39,962 --> 00:03:41,685
I'm honestly loving every second of it.

42
00:03:41,851 --> 00:03:44,692
This is way more fun than anything in a storybook.

43
00:03:46,283 --> 00:03:48,080
But the show's over now.

44
00:03:48,161 --> 00:03:49,377
I should head out too.

45
00:03:49,458 --> 00:03:50,621
Censor Shen.

46
00:03:50,702 --> 00:03:54,537
If Zhao Yang faces her true feelings someday

47
00:03:54,683 --> 00:03:56,680
and ends up with you,

48
00:03:57,061 --> 00:03:59,344
I'll be the first to send my congratulations.

49
00:04:01,643 --> 00:04:04,885
Then, I will be waiting for your congratulations, County Princess.

50
00:04:24,833 --> 00:04:26,436
The Yellow River's levees are broken.

51
00:04:28,090 --> 00:04:29,372
According to the latest report,

52
00:04:29,547 --> 00:04:31,923
it's been pouring nonstop in Jingren County for days.

53
00:04:32,027 --> 00:04:33,842
The new Yongtong Canal collapsed.

54
00:04:34,011 --> 00:04:35,968
Floodwaters are rushing into the nearby counties.

55
00:04:36,162 --> 00:04:38,239
Homes are collapsing, fields are underwater.

56
00:04:38,362 --> 00:04:40,040
A lot of people are trapped in danger.

57
00:04:40,123 --> 00:04:41,959
Some have even been swept away by the flood.

58
00:04:42,066 --> 00:04:44,160
Locals are flooding the government office for help.

59
00:04:44,274 --> 00:04:45,635
But they're all being chased off.

60
00:04:45,808 --> 00:04:47,690
All to keep the flood news under wraps.

61
00:04:50,029 --> 00:04:51,864
Sister, you've always told me to wait for the right moment.

62
00:04:52,009 --> 00:04:53,571
Looks like it's finally here.

63
00:04:53,771 --> 00:04:56,872
- We'll present this letter to His Majesty.   - Hold on.

64
00:04:57,906 --> 00:04:59,389
This is a serious matter.

65
00:04:59,804 --> 00:05:01,082
- Head back first.   - But...

66
00:05:01,163 --> 00:05:02,523
Let me think it over.

67
00:05:08,152 --> 00:05:09,173
Sure.

68
00:05:30,243 --> 00:05:32,124
Your marriage to Princess An Le

69
00:05:32,722 --> 00:05:34,244
has already been reported to Father.

70
00:05:34,457 --> 00:05:36,099
It's already set in stone.

71
00:05:38,106 --> 00:05:39,127
Your Highness.

72
00:05:40,513 --> 00:05:43,160
I have no plans to marry at the moment.

73
00:05:43,250 --> 00:05:44,344
Your first priority

74
00:05:44,425 --> 00:05:46,786
of going to Jingren County is to keep the flood news under control.

75
00:05:48,243 --> 00:05:49,325
Secondly...

76
00:06:07,867 --> 00:06:11,228
You'll take charge of my 30,000 private troops along the river

77
00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:14,852
to secure my path to the throne

78
00:06:16,323 --> 00:06:18,044
without a hitch.

79
00:06:21,978 --> 00:06:24,101
That 500,000 piculs of grain got exposed

80
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:27,005
Father's even more guarded against me now.

81
00:06:27,163 --> 00:06:29,245
I need to make plans early too.

82
00:06:35,522 --> 00:06:36,544
An Le.

83
00:07:12,482 --> 00:07:13,583
(Jingren County)

84
00:07:13,664 --> 00:07:15,442
Step back! Back up!

85
00:07:15,566 --> 00:07:16,960
Don't push forward!

86
00:07:18,243 --> 00:07:20,160
Back up! Step back!

87
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,680
(Zhao Sheng, Magistrate of Jingren County)

88
00:07:25,417 --> 00:07:27,215
How long have those people been causing a commotion?

89
00:07:27,330 --> 00:07:30,412
It has already been three days.

90
00:07:31,024 --> 00:07:33,746
I've sent officers to drive them away.

91
00:07:34,231 --> 00:07:36,760
But there are just too many people.

92
00:07:37,187 --> 00:07:38,270
Drive them away?

93
00:07:40,642 --> 00:07:42,280
Managing people is like managing water.

94
00:07:42,563 --> 00:07:44,040
Block it, and it'll burst.

95
00:07:44,250 --> 00:07:45,533
Guide it, and it'll flow.

96
00:07:46,355 --> 00:07:48,238
You mean...

97
00:07:49,042 --> 00:07:51,344
Open the granary and distribute grain.

98
00:07:52,335 --> 00:07:55,084
Just say the court knows about the disaster

99
00:07:55,287 --> 00:07:56,729
and is sending relief.

100
00:07:57,162 --> 00:07:59,885
Let everyone get their grain and go home to wait.

101
00:08:00,177 --> 00:08:01,574
No more causing a scene.

102
00:08:01,701 --> 00:08:04,423
But the granary's grain

103
00:08:05,050 --> 00:08:07,882
was falsely reported as depleted last year and diverted in many ways.

104
00:08:08,010 --> 00:08:10,091
Less than 30% is left now.

105
00:08:10,291 --> 00:08:11,573
If we open the granary...

106
00:08:11,722 --> 00:08:14,204
Then, use your family's grain to fill the gap.

107
00:08:16,882 --> 00:08:18,440
If you can't make up the difference,

108
00:08:22,683 --> 00:08:24,924
you'll jump into the Yellow River to atone.

109
00:08:25,562 --> 00:08:28,644
You and I both know how the levee collapsed.

110
00:08:31,683 --> 00:08:34,084
Money from the Eastern Palace isn't easy to get.

111
00:08:34,842 --> 00:08:38,080
Either keep it contained in Jingren County

112
00:08:38,195 --> 00:08:41,437
or I'll report it right now

113
00:08:41,551 --> 00:08:43,092
and accuse you of embezzling river repair funds,

114
00:08:43,227 --> 00:08:45,628
deceiving the emperor, and inciting rebellion.

115
00:08:48,722 --> 00:08:51,042
I understand.

116
00:08:51,417 --> 00:08:53,005
I'll take care of it right away.

117
00:08:53,158 --> 00:08:55,480
Right away.

118
00:09:11,962 --> 00:09:13,525
Jingren County's levee collapsed.

119
00:09:13,690 --> 00:09:15,812
The Crown Prince sent Cui Jin Zhi to handle it.

120
00:09:16,323 --> 00:09:19,560
If this gets exposed, it'll only make the Crown Prince suffer.

121
00:09:19,690 --> 00:09:21,041
That's nowhere near enough.

122
00:09:21,122 --> 00:09:23,600
Since he wants to suppress the flood in Jingren County,

123
00:09:23,714 --> 00:09:25,276
I'll lend him a hand.

124
00:09:25,944 --> 00:09:28,547
When the flood can't be held back anymore,

125
00:09:28,722 --> 00:09:31,084
let's see how he explains himself to everyone.

126
00:09:32,882 --> 00:09:34,240
Go tell Le Sheng.

127
00:09:34,426 --> 00:09:35,446
Yes.

128
00:09:47,163 --> 00:09:49,005
Jingren County is suffering from a flood?

129
00:09:52,043 --> 00:09:54,084
You should be with Jin Cheng right now.

130
00:09:54,219 --> 00:09:55,580
Not here.

131
00:09:57,061 --> 00:09:58,664
This is a matter of life and death.

132
00:09:59,417 --> 00:10:01,280
The Crown Prince knew and kept it quiet.

133
00:10:01,516 --> 00:10:03,198
This should be reported to His Majesty.

134
00:10:05,439 --> 00:10:07,120
The Crown Prince's been in the Eastern Palace for years.

135
00:10:07,265 --> 00:10:08,628
He has a solid foundation.

136
00:10:09,002 --> 00:10:11,725
The current disaster isn't enough to make him lose power.

137
00:10:12,218 --> 00:10:13,580
We have to wait.

138
00:10:13,704 --> 00:10:15,266
Wait for the disaster to spread.

139
00:10:15,482 --> 00:10:17,125
Wait until he can't cover it up anymore.

140
00:10:17,523 --> 00:10:19,844
I've arranged for people to quietly help the victims.

141
00:10:20,962 --> 00:10:22,525
I'm doing my best to avoid casualties.

142
00:10:23,882 --> 00:10:25,684
Do you even hear yourself?

143
00:10:25,882 --> 00:10:26,945
Just because of your waiting,

144
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:30,763
the people along the Yellow River have to flee with their families,

145
00:10:31,122 --> 00:10:33,039
watch their farmland get flooded,

146
00:10:33,177 --> 00:10:35,960
and live in constant fear waiting for the disaster to end.

147
00:10:36,882 --> 00:10:38,204
I know that.

148
00:10:38,523 --> 00:10:39,924
Which is why I have to wait.

149
00:10:43,443 --> 00:10:44,680
If you won't go,

150
00:10:44,962 --> 00:10:45,983
I'll go.

151
00:10:47,145 --> 00:10:48,167
Shen Xiao.

152
00:10:49,083 --> 00:10:52,080
I'm not going to bring down the Crown Prince for personal revenge.

153
00:10:52,235 --> 00:10:54,717
It's for the countless people of Ye.

154
00:10:55,401 --> 00:10:57,158
If the Crown Prince takes the throne someday,

155
00:10:57,283 --> 00:10:59,277
he'll let the noble families exploit everyone.

156
00:10:59,568 --> 00:11:01,889
Ye's farmland will become their private property.

157
00:11:02,458 --> 00:11:04,300
People won't be able to survive.

158
00:11:06,882 --> 00:11:08,725
But Zhao Yang, have you ever thought about it?

159
00:11:09,125 --> 00:11:10,967
The disaster will keep going.

160
00:11:12,563 --> 00:11:13,920
With disasters and chaos,

161
00:11:14,026 --> 00:11:16,187
no one can truly control people's hearts.

162
00:11:16,523 --> 00:11:18,039
These displaced people

163
00:11:18,185 --> 00:11:19,907
can't wait for your grand plan.

164
00:11:23,379 --> 00:11:25,320
For the sake of more people,

165
00:11:25,962 --> 00:11:27,804
I can only make them wait.

166
00:11:33,683 --> 00:11:36,885
How are you any different from the Crown Prince?

167
00:11:50,954 --> 00:11:52,756
I made your sister sad.

168
00:11:54,161 --> 00:11:55,269
This...

169
00:11:56,523 --> 00:11:58,125
Why do you have this?

170
00:11:59,653 --> 00:12:00,791
I snatched it.

171
00:12:01,211 --> 00:12:03,252
She wants to cover up the flood.

172
00:12:03,523 --> 00:12:04,885
Did you know about this?

173
00:12:06,500 --> 00:12:09,744
So, you two argued because of this secret letter?

174
00:12:10,443 --> 00:12:11,804
It's complicated.

175
00:12:12,706 --> 00:12:15,308
But this letter can bring down the Eastern Palace.

176
00:12:15,762 --> 00:12:17,885
It's also your ticket back to court.

177
00:12:45,563 --> 00:12:46,879
Well played, Shen Xiao.

178
00:12:47,056 --> 00:12:49,279
Turns out you've always been working under Le Sheng.

179
00:12:49,401 --> 00:12:52,363
Le Sheng, you'd better watch out for this dog.

180
00:12:52,697 --> 00:12:54,295
He was Zhao Yang's male companion.

181
00:12:54,382 --> 00:12:55,858
He pledged loyalty to me before.

182
00:12:55,939 --> 00:12:59,442
How do you know he'll truly be loyal to you?

183
00:12:59,554 --> 00:13:01,355
A wise bird picks the best tree.

184
00:13:01,563 --> 00:13:04,639
Look at your own issues and think about why he ditched you.

185
00:13:04,785 --> 00:13:07,188
You, a jinx, dare to compare yourself to me?

186
00:13:08,242 --> 00:13:09,444
Enough nonsense.

187
00:13:09,722 --> 00:13:11,799
Hand over the letter impeaching the Crown Prince.

188
00:13:11,913 --> 00:13:13,556
What if I say no?

189
00:13:15,122 --> 00:13:16,240
Kill them.

190
00:13:36,322 --> 00:13:37,520
Let's go.

191
00:13:56,655 --> 00:13:58,766
Chase. Leave no survivors.

192
00:13:58,855 --> 00:13:59,877
Yes.

193
00:14:30,766 --> 00:14:31,820
Father.

194
00:14:33,697 --> 00:14:35,487
The Crown Prince embezzled funds for the Yellow River levee repair,

195
00:14:35,568 --> 00:14:37,250
causing disaster and chaos.

196
00:14:37,696 --> 00:14:38,824
Also, he deliberately covered it up.

197
00:14:38,905 --> 00:14:40,867
Please investigate, Father.

198
00:14:44,403 --> 00:14:46,480
Father. I have never embezzled

199
00:14:46,603 --> 00:14:47,964
nor have I ever covered anything up.

200
00:14:48,122 --> 00:14:50,200
Maybe the disaster report is still on its way.

201
00:14:50,346 --> 00:14:52,588
It's just delayed by heavy rain.

202
00:14:54,762 --> 00:14:55,816
Crown Prince.

203
00:14:56,122 --> 00:14:58,716
Cui Jin Zhi used your token to suppress the people

204
00:14:58,797 --> 00:15:00,161
and threatened officials.

205
00:15:00,242 --> 00:15:03,620
Everything in this letter is backed by solid evidence.

206
00:15:03,945 --> 00:15:06,188
- Do you admit it?   - This is a setup.

207
00:15:06,338 --> 00:15:07,460
I do not admit it.

208
00:15:10,167 --> 00:15:12,450
I'll give you one more chance.

209
00:15:16,762 --> 00:15:17,784
Fine.

210
00:15:18,323 --> 00:15:19,725
I'll send people

211
00:15:20,125 --> 00:15:22,567
to check the flooding situation at Jingren County.

212
00:15:22,882 --> 00:15:24,084
Before it's fully investigated,

213
00:15:24,438 --> 00:15:26,319
the Crown Prince will be confined to the Eastern Palace.

214
00:15:26,428 --> 00:15:27,920
He can't leave without an imperial decree.

215
00:15:34,418 --> 00:15:35,980
Father, you are wise and just.

216
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,880
I'm sure you'll clear my name.

217
00:15:44,285 --> 00:15:45,336
Your Majesty!

218
00:15:45,417 --> 00:15:48,792
Second Prince tried to earn favor by plotting to kill Seventh Prince.

219
00:15:48,882 --> 00:15:51,324
I risked my life to expose this.

220
00:16:08,523 --> 00:16:09,880
- Father.   - Father.

221
00:16:09,963 --> 00:16:11,799
If I hadn't arrived in time,

222
00:16:11,882 --> 00:16:13,725
Le Sheng would've been dead.

223
00:16:13,882 --> 00:16:15,240
Please investigate, Father.

224
00:16:15,323 --> 00:16:16,885
Please investigate, Father.

225
00:16:24,583 --> 00:16:26,145
Is this true?

226
00:16:32,649 --> 00:16:33,670
Shen Xiao.

227
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,962
I can give you the letter.

228
00:16:37,523 --> 00:16:38,799
But this is way too dangerous.

229
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,963
You can't go.

230
00:16:40,750 --> 00:16:43,467
Someone else is even more interested in taking down the Crown Prince.

231
00:16:43,682 --> 00:16:45,205
You mean Second Prince?

232
00:16:46,185 --> 00:16:47,748
Just go see Le Sheng.

233
00:16:48,233 --> 00:16:50,180
I'll let Second Brother know.

234
00:16:50,446 --> 00:16:53,258
He won't let this credit slip by.

235
00:16:55,562 --> 00:16:57,284
I take back what I said earlier.

236
00:16:57,963 --> 00:16:59,766
Your Highness and the Crown Prince aren't the same.

237
00:17:03,162 --> 00:17:06,228
Isn't he just a jinx? Is his life really that important?

238
00:17:07,682 --> 00:17:09,804
Didn't everyone used to wish he'd die?

239
00:17:12,667 --> 00:17:15,358
It's not your place to deal with a jinx.

240
00:17:15,494 --> 00:17:17,010
Today, you can kill your brother.

241
00:17:17,122 --> 00:17:19,400
Does it mean you'll kill me tomorrow?

242
00:17:23,442 --> 00:17:25,084
Second Prince, Li Yan,

243
00:17:25,339 --> 00:17:28,098
disregarded family bonds and harmed his own siblings.

244
00:17:28,602 --> 00:17:29,609
From today onward,

245
00:17:29,768 --> 00:17:32,558
he is banished from the capital to guard the royal tombs forever.

246
00:17:32,689 --> 00:17:35,532
He can't return to the capital without an imperial decree!

247
00:17:40,882 --> 00:17:42,084
Why?

248
00:17:43,162 --> 00:17:44,884
It's clearly the Crown Prince's fault.

249
00:17:45,681 --> 00:17:46,838
Why is he only confined,

250
00:17:46,929 --> 00:17:48,492
but I have to guard the royal tombs forever?

251
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,120
Ungrateful son.

252
00:17:51,243 --> 00:17:52,264
Silence!

253
00:17:59,442 --> 00:18:00,925
What did I do wrong?

254
00:18:02,442 --> 00:18:04,205
I never wanted power.

255
00:18:05,323 --> 00:18:06,604
It was you.

256
00:18:08,083 --> 00:18:10,884
You tempted me with the throne!

257
00:18:16,113 --> 00:18:17,400
Guards.

258
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:19,044
Take him away.

259
00:18:23,283 --> 00:18:24,480
Let go of me.

260
00:18:24,682 --> 00:18:26,884
Let go of me!

261
00:18:28,682 --> 00:18:30,245
Didn't he survive?

262
00:18:30,642 --> 00:18:32,685
He's standing there just fine.

263
00:18:34,826 --> 00:18:36,588
Why does one word from Zhao Yang

264
00:18:37,243 --> 00:18:38,685
decide my fate?

265
00:18:41,882 --> 00:18:43,485
From start to finish,

266
00:18:43,874 --> 00:18:46,836
you never once thought about making me the heir!

267
00:18:50,283 --> 00:18:51,644
I'm just

268
00:18:53,442 --> 00:18:55,644
a pawn to keep the Crown Prince in check.

269
00:18:57,459 --> 00:18:59,040
You're such a disgrace.

270
00:19:00,034 --> 00:19:01,495
Take him away!

271
00:19:09,124 --> 00:19:10,400
Let go of me!

272
00:19:10,721 --> 00:19:12,040
Let go of me!

273
00:19:12,185 --> 00:19:13,348
Why?

274
00:19:13,595 --> 00:19:14,757
Why?

275
00:19:29,179 --> 00:19:31,360
Does anyone have a good plan

276
00:19:32,083 --> 00:19:34,044
to deal with the flood in Jingren County?

277
00:19:36,834 --> 00:19:39,392
Flood control is tricky. Success or failure is hard to predict.

278
00:19:39,523 --> 00:19:41,485
Who dares to take on this impossible task?

279
00:19:51,922 --> 00:19:53,080
Father.

280
00:19:53,523 --> 00:19:54,759
I failed to notice the problem.

281
00:19:54,842 --> 00:19:56,279
I'll reflect deeply in seclusion.

282
00:19:56,409 --> 00:19:58,160
The Yellow River is vital to the nation.

283
00:19:58,418 --> 00:19:59,901
Le Sheng is wise and knowledgeable.

284
00:20:00,185 --> 00:20:01,743
If he leads the flood control efforts,

285
00:20:01,962 --> 00:20:05,045
he'll surely help the people and contribute to the country.

286
00:20:07,162 --> 00:20:09,480
(The Crown Prince keeps his private army at the Yellow River.)

287
00:20:10,583 --> 00:20:11,906
(This is a trap.)

288
00:20:15,442 --> 00:20:17,725
I'm not very capable.

289
00:20:18,626 --> 00:20:20,268
But helping the country

290
00:20:21,162 --> 00:20:22,685
is my duty.

291
00:20:22,882 --> 00:20:24,485
If Father orders it,

292
00:20:24,633 --> 00:20:27,435
I will do it without hesitation.

293
00:20:29,882 --> 00:20:30,903
Father.

294
00:20:31,222 --> 00:20:32,763
Le Sheng hasn't been at court for a long time.

295
00:20:33,047 --> 00:20:34,848
He may be unfamiliar with official duties.

296
00:20:35,090 --> 00:20:36,692
The Yellow River situation is serious.

297
00:20:36,917 --> 00:20:39,839
Without manpower, power, or influence,

298
00:20:40,042 --> 00:20:41,845
the disaster relief could be delayed.

299
00:20:46,265 --> 00:20:47,463
Le Sheng,

300
00:20:48,419 --> 00:20:50,780
I know you're sincere.

301
00:20:51,435 --> 00:20:54,276
I also know this mission will be tough.

302
00:20:54,562 --> 00:20:57,163
Although Zhao Yang makes a fair point,

303
00:20:57,922 --> 00:21:01,685
a prince must protect his land and people.

304
00:21:01,864 --> 00:21:04,667
I appoint you as imperial envoy.

305
00:21:05,393 --> 00:21:07,750
You'll oversee disaster relief in Jingren County

306
00:21:07,865 --> 00:21:10,908
and handle all matters related to the Yellow River flood.

307
00:21:22,122 --> 00:21:23,685
I accept your command.

308
00:21:24,984 --> 00:21:27,542
Ministry of Works, Ministry of Revenue, and Ministry of War

309
00:21:27,683 --> 00:21:29,925
must fully cooperate

310
00:21:30,184 --> 00:21:31,785
and follow his orders.

311
00:21:36,122 --> 00:21:38,155
Yes, Your Majesty.

312
00:21:53,076 --> 00:21:57,997
Summon Censor Shen Xiao!

313
00:22:10,833 --> 00:22:14,436
I, Shen Xiao, greet Your Majesty.

314
00:22:15,067 --> 00:22:16,344
Rise.

315
00:22:19,243 --> 00:22:20,640
Shen Xiao.

316
00:22:20,763 --> 00:22:23,445
You protected the Seventh Prince.

317
00:22:23,882 --> 00:22:26,012
I want to reward you.

318
00:22:29,583 --> 00:22:30,826
Protecting the people,

319
00:22:31,083 --> 00:22:32,361
guarding the princes,

320
00:22:32,483 --> 00:22:33,884
and defending royal authority

321
00:22:34,283 --> 00:22:36,725
is my duty as a subject.

322
00:22:40,043 --> 00:22:41,360
I've heard

323
00:22:41,483 --> 00:22:45,725
that you've been close with County Princess Jin Cheng lately.

324
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,604
She has reached marriageable age.

325
00:22:50,043 --> 00:22:53,485
I will grant her to you in marriage. How about that?
