likes Commandant Fan,

00:09:31,680 --> 00:09:34,530
Open your wretched eyes and look closely!

190
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,670
I have an Imperial Decree!

191
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:42,000
I'd like to see
who dares to stop me today!

192
00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:44,390
Go!

193
00:09:52,050 --> 00:09:52,870
-Halt!
-Halt!

194
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,870
I know Your Lordship is busy
with official duties.

195
00:09:57,870 --> 00:09:59,410
But you haven't found time

196
00:09:59,630 --> 00:10:01,150
to see me

197
00:10:01,150 --> 00:10:03,360
these few days,

198
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,320
leaving me with no choice

199
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,810
but to bring this decree here

200
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,320
to disturb you personally.

201
00:10:12,910 --> 00:10:13,630
Come in.

202
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:18,580
Please.

203
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,790
Greetings, Your Lordship.

204
00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:36,390
What important matter do you have,
Chief Eunuch,

205
00:10:36,390 --> 00:10:37,790
that to see me,

206
00:10:38,220 --> 00:10:40,680
you dare to trespass
into the military camp?

207
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,600
Your Lordship,

208
00:10:44,670 --> 00:10:48,030
this is great joyous news.

209
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,930
His Majesty has a decree.

210
00:10:58,030 --> 00:10:59,230
Marquis of Wu'an.

211
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,470
Your Lordship may listen without kneeling.

212
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,110
The Emperor proclaims:

213
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,600
the heaven blesses our dynasty.

214
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,410
Now that the Chongzhou rebels
have been wiped out,

215
00:11:14,910 --> 00:11:18,200
at this time of national celebration,

216
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,150
the Princess Royal
and the Marquis of Wu'an

217
00:11:21,150 --> 00:11:24,320
-should get married sooner than later...
-No need to say more.

218
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,250
Go back and tell that young emperor

219
00:11:26,790 --> 00:11:28,790
I had important duties to attend to,

220
00:11:28,870 --> 00:11:30,670
so the decree was not delivered.

221
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,530
I will pretend
you never said anything today.

222
00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:35,870
Those of us who heard it

223
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,960
won't breathe a word of it.

224
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,430
I wouldn't dare
to deceive the sovereign like that.

225
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:44,980
Besides,

226
00:11:45,510 --> 00:11:49,860
this is all His Majesty's deep favor
for Your Lordship.

227
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,320
You just need to nod your head,

228
00:11:53,390 --> 00:11:55,550
and I can return to the capital

229
00:11:55,550 --> 00:11:57,790
to report back to His Majesty.

230
00:11:59,270 --> 00:12:00,600
And if I...

231
00:12:02,030 --> 00:12:03,440
refuse to nod?

232
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,030
Refuse...

233
00:12:08,020 --> 00:12:08,880
Your Lordship.

234
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,070
Does this mean
you intend to defy the decree?

235
00:12:13,870 --> 00:12:16,630
I wouldn't dare deceive the Emperor.

236
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,700
Defy the decree?

237
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:27,870
Your Lordship...

238
00:12:27,870 --> 00:12:30,270
Your Lordship, what are you trying to do?

239
00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:36,960
Your Lordship,

240
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:38,680
do you really

241
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,720
intend to rebel?

242
00:12:47,590 --> 00:12:49,590
The Xie family has served the Great Yin

243
00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:51,180
loyally for a century.

244
00:12:52,510 --> 00:12:54,640
My father was even honored as a martyr.

245
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,000
I simply do not wish
to tarnish his reputation.

246
00:13:02,670 --> 00:13:04,670
Go back and tell that young emperor:

247
00:13:05,460 --> 00:13:08,060
if he no longer wishes
to sit on the throne anymore,

248
00:13:08,060 --> 00:13:10,720
I can easily find someone else
to take his place.

249
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:12,150
Seventeen years ago,

250
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,010
he ascended to the throne
with Wei Yan's help.

251
00:13:15,510 --> 00:13:16,630
And now,

252
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,630
I can deprive him of that if I want.

253
00:13:21,150 --> 00:13:22,000
What?

254
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:23,440
Your Lordship,

255
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,890
do you realize
you are threatening His Majesty?

256
00:13:29,390 --> 00:13:31,670
Please don't kill me, Your Lordship!

257
00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:35,030
I am merely a messenger.

258
00:13:42,270 --> 00:13:44,240
I simply wish for harmony

259
00:13:44,510 --> 00:13:47,600
between the sovereign and his subject
with His Majesty.

260
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,670
If you pass on the wrong message,

261
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,540
you might jeopardize the nation's affairs.

262
00:13:54,550 --> 00:13:55,390
Thank you...

263
00:13:56,030 --> 00:13:58,960
Thank you for sparing my life,
Your Lordship!

264
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:10,440
This...

265
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:11,240
Take it away.

266
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:22,630
Quick!

267
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,380
Quick!

268
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,750
That hurt!

269
00:14:27,570 --> 00:14:31,920
[Break the Enemy's Stronghold]

270
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:39,120
Xie Jiuheng, oh, Xie Jiuheng.

271
00:14:39,790 --> 00:14:41,200
Eunuch Li came here

272
00:14:41,220 --> 00:14:42,600
on the Emperor's orders.

273
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,200
You cut off one of his ears.

274
00:14:44,220 --> 00:14:46,270
Isn't that a slap in the Emperor's face?

275
00:14:46,270 --> 00:14:47,200
What do we do now?

276
00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:50,310
Are we turning against the Imperial Court?

277
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,480
The little Emperor
is still under Wei Yan's thumb,

278
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:54,870
acting dumb.

279
00:14:55,030 --> 00:14:56,830
He doesn't dare turn against me.

280
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:02,000
Since the Emperor ascended the throne
as a child,

281
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,360
Prime Minister Wei has been
usurping his power.

282
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:04,840
Now,

283
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,960
he must be desperate for power.

284
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,360
I don't think he'll let this go.

285
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,750
If he doesn't want the throne,

286
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,340
I can find someone else to take his place.

287
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,070
I happen to

288
00:15:17,030 --> 00:15:18,830
have plans to depose him anyway.

289
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:21,960
Depose him?

290
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,170
Are you serious?

291
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,080
Although

292
00:15:33,630 --> 00:15:35,080
the Great Yin court

293
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,550
is too corrupt to save,

294
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:37,910
and I know

295
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,360
you won't serve such an incompetent ruler,

296
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,100
now,

297
00:15:41,870 --> 00:15:43,550
if we support the Imperial Great-Grandson,

298
00:15:43,550 --> 00:15:44,630
in a dozen years,

299
00:15:44,670 --> 00:15:45,790
who's to say

300
00:15:45,810 --> 00:15:48,070
Yu Bao'er won't become another Qi Sheng?

301
00:15:52,270 --> 00:15:54,000
I don't know

302
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,970
what Yu Bao'er will become,

303
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,880
but I will never become another Wei Yan.

304
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,080
Fine.

305
00:16:03,770 --> 00:16:04,370
By the way,

306
00:16:05,030 --> 00:16:07,030
aren't you going back
to Jizhou Prefecture?

307
00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:07,910
Why should I?

308
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,120
That Li Huai'an

309
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,440
visits Mrs. Fan every other day.

310
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,970
Are you really not worried?

311
00:16:19,270 --> 00:16:20,730
Don't look at me like that.

312
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,600
They are already calling each other
brother and sister,

313
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,720
getting all cozy.

314
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,600
He'll swoop in when she's vulnerable.

315
00:16:26,750 --> 00:16:28,810
-Such low-level courting—
-Enough.

316
00:16:28,810 --> 00:16:29,970
And you're not low-level?

317
00:16:29,970 --> 00:16:30,510
I...

318
00:16:30,750 --> 00:16:32,080
Mind your own business.

319
00:16:32,190 --> 00:16:32,830
Report!

320
00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:35,270
My Lord,

321
00:16:35,890 --> 00:16:37,270
the rebel remnant from Chongzhou,

322
00:16:37,270 --> 00:16:38,870
Sui Yuanqing, is attacking!

323
00:16:46,510 --> 00:16:47,630
How many are their troops?

324
00:16:47,630 --> 00:16:49,000
Only a few dozen soldiers.

325
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,270
They stormed the gate recklessly.

326
00:16:50,270 --> 00:16:51,670
There are no reinforcements behind them.

327
00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:52,400
It looks like

328
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,880
a suicide mission.

329
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Xie Zheng!

330
00:17:03,150 --> 00:17:05,589
Come out, you coward!

331
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,079
Today, we settle

332
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,550
our scores!

333
00:17:27,730 --> 00:17:29,530
Why bother, Heir Apparent Sui?

334
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,790
Why come here just to die?

335
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,790
Stop your fake mercy!

336
00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:39,290
You and Fan Changyu killed my father.

337
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:41,510
If I don't avenge him,

338
00:17:42,310 --> 00:17:43,870
I'm not human!

339
00:17:44,750 --> 00:17:46,200
Die!

340
00:18:03,380 --> 00:18:08,050
[Chongzhou]

341
00:18:08,590 --> 00:18:10,270
If he believes it, let it be.

342
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:11,480
If not,

343
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,720
even if you have to destroy
the Eastern Palace seal on the spot,

344
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,070
it must never
fall into anyone else's hands.

345
00:18:17,070 --> 00:18:18,330
Rest assured, Master.

346
00:18:23,950 --> 00:18:26,180
[Lord Changxin's Wife, Lady Yin]

347
00:18:28,820 --> 00:18:29,530
Mother?

348
00:18:36,100 --> 00:18:37,760
Why have you come so suddenly—

349
00:18:38,310 --> 00:18:40,570
Why did you treat your brother like that?

350
00:18:44,140 --> 00:18:45,310
Yuanqing said

351
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:47,500
he wants to avenge Father.

352
00:18:48,270 --> 00:18:49,470
This is filial piety,

353
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:50,930
and I cannot stop him.

354
00:18:51,070 --> 00:18:52,200
Filial piety?

355
00:18:52,610 --> 00:18:55,470
Then why didn't you
go and fulfill your filial duty?

356
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,810
I have to stay here
to take care of you, Mother.

357
00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:01,070
You knew fully well
that the Marquis of Wu'an

358
00:19:01,070 --> 00:19:03,200
is hunting all of you down everywhere.

359
00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:05,560
Yet you incited Qing'er
to avenge your father.

360
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,760
You are so vicious!

361
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,230
Father never liked me.

362
00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:19,270
Actually, deep down,

363
00:19:20,210 --> 00:19:22,210
you prefer Yuanqing too, don't you?

364
00:19:22,690 --> 00:19:23,650
He is my son.

365
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:25,890
Of course I prefer him.

366
00:19:31,310 --> 00:19:32,030
Mother,

367
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,190
what do you mean by that?

368
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:36,960
In this world,

369
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,750
how could a mother not recognize

370
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:41,160
her own flesh and blood?

371
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,160
I brought you back

372
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,450
from that fire 17 years ago.

373
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:52,750
At first,

374
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,400
seeing you injured beyond recognition

375
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:56,510
broke my heart.

376
00:19:58,150 --> 00:19:59,980
But when I found out you weren't Yuanhuai,

377
00:19:59,980 --> 00:20:01,510
it broke my heart even more.

378
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:07,850
So you knew all along.

379
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:13,270
Then, Mother,

380
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,310
why didn't you expose me
right then and there?

381
00:20:16,310 --> 00:20:17,160
Back then,

382
00:20:18,110 --> 00:20:19,790
you were just a small child.

383
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,500
You were disfigured
by the Crown Princess just to survive.

384
00:20:25,090 --> 00:20:27,470
When you were recovering
in Lord Changxin's Mansion,

385
00:20:27,470 --> 00:20:29,510
you were so pitiful,

386
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,190
crying out for your mother every day.

387
00:20:33,050 --> 00:20:35,210
My heart softened listening to you.

388
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,080
I thought,

389
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,550
since Heaven
let you live in my son's place,

390
00:20:40,550 --> 00:20:42,480
I should let you live a good life—

391
00:20:44,550 --> 00:20:49,210
consider it an act of accumulating virtue
for my poor Yuanhuai who died wrongfully.

392
00:20:49,830 --> 00:20:51,440
But I was wrong.

393
00:20:52,510 --> 00:20:54,750
I thought you were just a stray dog.

394
00:20:54,750 --> 00:20:57,210
I never imagined
you would be a vicious wolf!

395
00:20:58,110 --> 00:20:59,770
My biggest regret in this life

396
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,070
is taking a rebel as my son,

397
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,940
and being a mother to a viper like you!

398
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,720
I am Qi Min, the Imperial Grandson
of the Eastern Palace.

399
00:21:28,270 --> 00:21:29,800
Isn't it a good thing

400
00:21:32,030 --> 00:21:33,040
to be my mother?

401
00:21:38,310 --> 00:21:39,640
Yuanqing and Yuanhuai

402
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,110
are my only sons.

403
00:21:44,140 --> 00:21:45,010
Who...

404
00:21:45,830 --> 00:21:47,030
do you think you are!

405
00:22:27,070 --> 00:22:29,790
Don't think that
just because you treated me well,

406
00:22:29,790 --> 00:22:31,480
I wouldn't dare to kill you.

407
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,640
I-I gave you a chance.

408
00:22:41,750 --> 00:22:43,200
But don't worry.

409
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,960
Xie Zheng will soon send Sui Yuanqing

410
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,110
to serve you in the afterlife.

411
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,920
Bring her body.

412
00:23:20,170 --> 00:23:21,230
It's still useful.

413
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,850
Yes.

414
00:23:30,950 --> 00:23:34,030
[Peace at the border]

415
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:41,550
Come in.

416
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:47,720
Fan.

417
00:23:48,590 --> 00:23:49,720
Your husband
is going to be the Prince Consort.

418
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:50,640
Is it true?

419
00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:55,160
Wasn't Li Menkan the one who's supposed
to marry the princess?

420
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,400
They can switch the groom
at the last minute

421
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,720
for an event
as big as marrying a princess?

422
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,450
I don't want to talk about this.

423
00:24:04,850 --> 00:24:05,540
All right.

424
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:12,750
I have news about Sui Yuanhuai,

425
00:24:12,750 --> 00:24:13,960
whom you asked me

426
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:14,790
to look into.

427
00:24:16,350 --> 00:24:17,720
They say tonight,

428
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,240
a large number of troops
will be dispatched.

429
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,440
I reckon it's a massive manhunt

430
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,860
for that scoundrel.

431
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,920
That scoundrel is very cunning.

432
00:24:25,590 --> 00:24:27,500
He's sneakier than a fox or a weasel.

433
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:28,900
Before, your husband...

434
00:24:31,710 --> 00:24:33,630
Th-The Marquis of Wu'an's troops

435
00:24:34,310 --> 00:24:36,170
were fooled by him several times.

436
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,140
He is muddying the waters.

437
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,240
He wants to wait
until we're exhausted from searching

438
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,170
before finding a chance to escape.

439
00:24:48,030 --> 00:24:50,650
So he is the son
of the former Crown Prince?

440
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,440
He...

441
00:24:52,910 --> 00:24:54,640
He could have been the Emperor?

442
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,580
He could be in line for the throne.

443
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,550
But for someone so noble,

444
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,110
why would he impersonate Sui Yuanhuai?

445
00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:08,680
Isn't this common
in the shadow puppet shows

446
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:09,720
you watch?

447
00:25:09,950 --> 00:25:11,400
Those nobles and aristocrats

448
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,930
fight and snatch every day.

449
00:25:13,350 --> 00:25:14,920
It's nothing but greed for the throne

450
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,250
and the sordid schemes of imperial power.

451
00:25:23,790 --> 00:25:25,390
Fan, what are you looking at?

452
00:25:27,070 --> 00:25:29,000
Qianqian seemed to have mentioned

453
00:25:29,070 --> 00:25:30,960
that he is extremely afraid of fire.

454
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,020
He doesn't even light lamps at night.

455
00:25:36,890 --> 00:25:38,880
If that's the case,

456
00:25:40,060 --> 00:25:41,770
we can look for

457
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,990
houses that remain pitch black

458
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,470
at an hour where they should be lit up.

459
00:25:46,470 --> 00:25:46,920
That way,

460
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,090
we can narrow down our search area.

461
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:50,840
Why are you so fixated on him?

462
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,890
Just to vent anger for Manager Yu?

463
00:25:55,110 --> 00:25:56,310
You don't understand.

464
00:25:56,310 --> 00:25:57,200
He...

465
00:25:59,650 --> 00:26:01,710
might be involved in something huge.

466
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,510
He once showed me a Tiger Tally.

467
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,200
They say it's related
to the Jinzhou Massacre years ago.

468
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,200
It has something to do with Jinzhou?

469
00:26:12,070 --> 00:26:14,000
Yan Zheng must be eager to catch him

470
00:26:14,110 --> 00:26:15,770
to get some answers out of him.

471
00:26:16,500 --> 00:26:17,830
Go get my command token.

472
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,720
Tell them
there's an arrest operation tonight.

473
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,780
It's a good chance to drill our squad.

474
00:26:22,500 --> 00:26:23,100
Got it.

475
00:26:55,790 --> 00:26:58,050
There's someone inside. Surround them.

476
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,380
His throat was slit.

477
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,420
Looks like he's been dead a while.

478
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,540
How can he be dead?

479
00:27:32,110 --> 00:27:33,040
Keep searching.

480
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,960
Check the body for a Tiger Tally.

481
00:27:35,750 --> 00:27:36,790
A Tiger what?

482
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,110
Tiger Tally. Like in the operas.

483
00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:40,110
Just hurry up and look.

484
00:27:40,110 --> 00:27:40,790
Okay.

485
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,200
General Fan Changyu reporting.

486
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,730
Greetings, Your Lordship.

487
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,840
I, Jin Changsheng,
pay my respects to the Prince Consort.

488
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,480
One more word of nonsense,

489
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,340
and I'll send you to the Mess Crew.

490
00:28:22,650 --> 00:28:23,860
Yes, Prince Consort.

491
00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:27,030
I'll go right now, Prince Consort.

492
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,740
Sui Yuanhuai is dead.

493
00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:40,750
This lead

494
00:28:41,550 --> 00:28:42,350
has gone cold.

495
00:28:55,310 --> 00:28:57,220
Sui Yuanhuai died just like that?

496
00:29:07,590 --> 00:29:09,650
It looks very much like Sui Yuanhuai.

497
00:29:11,350 --> 00:29:12,480
All the evidence

498
00:29:13,270 --> 00:29:15,070
shows that he's dead.

499
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,510
But the more evidence there is,
the more suspicious it gets.

500
00:29:19,510 --> 00:29:21,710
Have Zhao Xun
come identify the body himself.

501
00:29:21,710 --> 00:29:22,880
But no matter what,

502
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:23,750
Sui Yuanhui

503
00:29:23,770 --> 00:29:25,500
no longer exists in this world.

504
00:29:34,330 --> 00:29:36,280
There have been rumors for years

505
00:29:36,550 --> 00:29:39,200
that Wei Yan had orders to hold
the Tiger Tally to get reinforcements

506
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,800
to lift the siege of Jinzhou.

507
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,830
But he suddenly turned back
to the Capital midway,

508
00:29:43,830 --> 00:29:45,030
delaying the rescue.

509
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,310
Back then,
when Wei Qilin was transporting grain,

510
00:29:49,310 --> 00:29:51,510
he suddenly changed course to Chongzhou.

511
00:29:51,510 --> 00:29:53,240
It must have been Wei Yan ordering him
to use the Tiger Tally

512
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,100
to mobilize troops in Chongzhou.

513
00:29:56,270 --> 00:29:57,590
But in the end,

514
00:29:57,590 --> 00:29:59,440
the Lord Changxin neither sent troops,

515
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,370
nor did he prevent the grain delay,

516
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,680
yet no one knew why.

517
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,640
If Lord Changxin
saw the Tiger Tally back then,

518
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:12,680
but claimed it was fake

519
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,210
and refused to send troops,

520
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,270
then that means

521
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,510
Wei Qilin was truly wronged.

522
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:22,880
It seems...

523
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,780
we are getting closer to the truth

524
00:30:28,110 --> 00:30:29,510
of the Jinzhou Massacre.

525
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,740
If only we could find the Tiger Tally.

526
00:30:32,430 --> 00:30:34,440
I even searched
Lord Changxin's belongings,

527
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,900
and the items
Sui Yuanqing carried with him,

528
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:37,980
but found nothing.

529
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:39,240
That Sui Yuanqing—

530
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,110
he'd rather be tortured

531
00:30:40,110 --> 00:30:41,830
than reveal the whereabouts
of the Tiger Tally.

532
00:30:41,830 --> 00:30:43,630
He even had the energy to mock me.

533
00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:46,350
I should have let Mrs. Fan chop him up.

534
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:54,540
Your Lordship.

535
00:30:55,750 --> 00:30:57,680
I arranged
for Zhao Xun to examine the body.

536
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,680
As you predicted,

537
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,550
the deceased is not Sui Yuanhuai.

538
00:31:00,550 --> 00:31:03,110
It is a double
raised by the Lan family since childhood.

539
00:31:03,110 --> 00:31:05,200
Not only does the double look identical,

540
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,830
but every burn mark on his body

541
00:31:06,830 --> 00:31:08,560
was meticulously replicated.

542
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,550
What about the identity of the woman

543
00:31:10,550 --> 00:31:11,750
who died in the manor?

544
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,400
Zhao Xun identified her.

545
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:15,530
It is indeed the Lord Changxin's wife.

546
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:20,620
To save himself,

547
00:31:21,110 --> 00:31:23,550
he didn't hesitate
to even kill his adoptive mother.

548
00:31:23,550 --> 00:31:25,030
To catch Suiyuan—

549
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,160
no—

550
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:28,980
it's time to call him by his real name.

551
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,350
To catch Qi Min,

552
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,590
we need other leads.

553
00:31:34,510 --> 00:31:35,570
Are there any more?

554
00:31:37,310 --> 00:31:38,570
All the leads are dead.

555
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,780
It is strange.

556
00:31:40,830 --> 00:31:42,290
We've surrounded them several times,

557
00:31:42,290 --> 00:31:44,420
but they always seemed to be prepared.

558
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,720
I suspect

559
00:31:46,130 --> 00:31:48,330
he has spies within the Command Office.

560
00:31:54,110 --> 00:31:54,920
It seems

561
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,030
someone is being used as a pawn

562
00:31:57,050 --> 00:31:59,510
while thinking they are upholding justice.

563
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:01,580
Your Lordship,

564
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:03,140
what should we do next?

565
00:32:05,050 --> 00:32:06,910
Take Zhao Xun to see Sui Yuanqing.

566
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,910
Inform him of Lord Changxin's wife's

567
00:32:08,910 --> 00:32:09,710
death.

568
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,880
Squad One, to the left.

569
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,210
Squad Two, to the right.

570
00:32:14,510 --> 00:32:15,960
Spread out on both sides.

571
00:32:16,110 --> 00:32:16,770
-Yes!
-Yes!

572
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:18,680
Check the grass and crevices.

573
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,400
Understood!

574
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,530
Search everywhere.

575
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,350
Leave no stone unturned.

576
00:32:21,350 --> 00:32:21,680
Go!

577
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,340
Check here.

578
00:32:24,350 --> 00:32:25,150
Nothing here.

579
00:32:25,550 --> 00:32:26,240
Over there.

580
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:27,560
Follow me!

581
00:32:30,750 --> 00:32:32,590
Master, it's the Xie Army.

582
00:32:35,780 --> 00:32:37,710
Sui Yuanqing alone wasn't enough.

583
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,280
It seems the Marquis of Wu'an

584
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,000
won't rest until he has my head.

585
00:32:44,510 --> 00:32:45,910
Any news on Her Ladyship?

586
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,880
Still no sign of her.

587
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,110
Master.

588
00:32:58,550 --> 00:33:00,200
The Li family took so much from us,

589
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,130
yet there's no sign of our contact.

590
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,270
They let the Marquis of Wu'an corner us.

591
00:33:04,270 --> 00:33:05,530
Have they turned on us?

592
00:33:07,790 --> 00:33:09,550
If the Li family had turned on us,

593
00:33:09,550 --> 00:33:11,610
we would have been captured long ago.

594
00:33:12,750 --> 00:33:15,750
But though I heard
they are grandfather and grandson,

595
00:33:16,770 --> 00:33:19,090
Grand Tutor Li and Li Huai'an

596
00:33:19,350 --> 00:33:21,410
are truly people on different paths.

597
00:33:27,780 --> 00:33:28,920
It's about time.

598
00:33:29,180 --> 00:33:30,510
He should be here by now.

599
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,510
That is if he believed me.

600
00:33:37,110 --> 00:33:37,640
Master.

601
00:33:46,770 --> 00:33:48,580
I'm very pleased

602
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:51,090
to get your help, Grand Tutor Li.

603
00:34:28,590 --> 00:34:29,670
I have something to tell you.

604
00:34:29,670 --> 00:34:30,929
I don't want to hear it.

605
00:34:31,070 --> 00:34:32,270
I just want to tell you

606
00:34:34,190 --> 00:34:36,969
that anyone in this world
can become the Prince Consort,

607
00:34:36,969 --> 00:34:38,380
except for me, Xie Zheng.

608
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,590
I have already married into your family.

609
00:34:42,590 --> 00:34:44,719
I can only belong to Fan Changyu alone.

610
00:34:46,130 --> 00:34:47,250
I'll only love you

611
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:49,960
in this lifetime.

612
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,030
Stop...

613
00:35:19,230 --> 00:35:21,090
Stop being so nice to me, will you?

614
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,210
The better you treat me,

615
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,140
the more uneasy I feel.

616
00:35:27,810 --> 00:35:29,470
Is it because of your origins?

617
00:35:31,970 --> 00:35:32,970

I will keep investigating

625
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,580
until I get to the bottom of it.

626
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:58,590

isn't what we think?

This is the second thing

I want to tell you.

00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:34,710
I plan

00:36:37,110 --> 00:36:38,510
to release Sui Yuanqing.

What?

641
00:36:56,630 --> 00:36:57,320

You betrayed Yuanhuai!

647
00:37:12,150 --> 00:37:13,010
Heir Apparent.

648
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,800
It was Yuanhuai who betrayed you.

649
00:37:19,590 --> 00:37:20,840
A traitor,

seeing that Yuanhuai has escaped,

651
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:27,550
wants to extract a confession
for the Marquis of Wu'an,

652
00:37:27,550 --> 00:37:29,680
and drive a wedge between us brothers.

653

Save your breath.

654
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,110
Even if I can't kill you today,

And who will avenge

657
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,170
Lord Changxin's wife's death?

658
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,000
Mother is dead?

659
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,440
Marquis of Wu'an!

660
00:37:58,110 --> 00:37:59,670

662
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,330
It wasn't the Marquis of Wu'an
who killed her.

00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:06,490
It was Sui Yuanhuai.

664
00:38:07,110 --> 00:38:07,550
No.

665
00:38:08,550 --> 00:38:10,190
Or rather, it was Qi Min.

666
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:14,670
Who?

667
00:38:15,390 --> 00:38:16,440

by your side all these years

669
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,190
is not Sui Yuanhuai,

670
00:38:20,810 --> 00:38:21,960
but Qi Min.

671
00:38:22,710 --> 00:38:27,280
He is the former Imperial Grandson of the Eastern Palace,
whom Lord Changxin helped harm.

672
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:28,820
The real Sui Yuanhuai

673
00:38:29,230 --> 00:38:31,030
died in the fire at the Eastern Palace

674
00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:32,880

No...

00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:46,660
Impossible...

677
00:38:50,550 --> 00:38:52,280
You just want to use me

678
00:38:52,710 --> 00:38:54,040
to deal with my brother.

679
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,000
Your Highness.

680
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,910
Wake up.

681
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,930
Qi Min killed the Princess Consort

682
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,760
to fake his death and escape.

683
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,560
He has now resumed
his identity as the Imperial Grandson.

684
00:39:09,710 --> 00:39:13,320
He is Qi Min,
who destroyed Lord Changxin's Mansion.

685
00:39:18,110 --> 00:39:18,760
No...

686
00:39:20,230 --> 00:39:21,290
That's not true...

687
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:23,220
That's not true.

688
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,740
Aren't you my brother's lackey?

689
00:39:30,030 --> 00:39:31,560
Why are you telling me this?

690
00:39:32,030 --> 00:39:32,830
That's right.

691
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,590
I used to follow Qi Min.

692
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,000
But that was for the legitimacy
of the previous dynasty.

693
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,440
He is cruel by nature,

694
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,720
and unfit to inherit the throne.

695
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,200
That is why I had no choice

696
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:49,570
but to defect to the Marquis of Wu'an.

697
00:40:00,150 --> 00:40:01,470

698
00:40:02,590 --> 00:40:03,190

I will tear you to pieces

701

703
00:40:16,630 --> 00:40:17,630
I can let you go.

Let me go?

705
00:40:21,110 --> 00:40:21,840
Why?

My mother, Lady Lan,

707
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,210
raised Qi Min for years,

708
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:28,550
yet she died at his hands.

709
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,570
I only hate that I am powerless.

711
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,590
we will both be avenged.
