Lord Woo has arrived!

00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,160
Lord Wu has arrived!

00:00:25,070 --> 00:00:26,870
Vice Minister Fang has arrived!

5
00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:44,750
Earlier at the Golden Celestial Hall,

6
00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:46,710
I only caught a glimpse of you, General.

7
00:00:46,710 --> 00:00:49,790
I greatly admire your feat in slaying

8
00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:51,200
the rebel Lord Changxin.

9
00:00:51,290 --> 00:00:52,360
It's an honor to be here with you tonight.

10
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,820
Let me propose a toast
to you first, General.

11
00:00:57,790 --> 00:00:58,350
Please.

12
00:01:01,810 --> 00:01:02,880
General, you can really hold your liquor!

13
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,580
Indeed.

14
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,150
Indeed.

15
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,630
General Fan, you're young and promising,

16
00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:07,590
renowned far and wide,

17
00:01:07,590 --> 00:01:09,190
and striking in appearance.

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,230
It's truly remarkable that you managed to

19
00:01:11,230 --> 00:01:12,480
kill Lord Changxin.

20
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:12,710
Yes, indeed.

21
00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:14,950
Allow me to toast you as well, General.

22
00:01:18,740 --> 00:01:20,289
If this keeps up,

23
00:01:20,450 --> 00:01:23,450
that butcher woman will surely
make a fool of herself.

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,070
Never mind her.

25
00:01:26,630 --> 00:01:29,289

the Eldest Young Master arrived yet?

27
00:01:31,530 --> 00:01:32,400
Another toast to you, General Fan.

28

Grand Tutor.

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,280
I heard your heart condition
has flared up recently, Master.

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,350
Are you feeling better now?

31
00:01:36,350 --> 00:01:37,229
Much better.

32
00:01:37,229 --> 00:01:38,479
I've been quite worried, Master.

33
00:01:38,479 --> 00:01:39,680
What a remarkable capacity for drink!

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,479
That butcher woman
throws her weight around—

35
00:01:41,479 --> 00:01:43,610
we've suffered unbearably under her.

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,070
Let's not just watch here. Come on.

37
00:01:48,070 --> 00:01:49,920
I'll drink a few cups with you all.

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:50,870
Good things come in pairs.

39
00:01:50,870 --> 00:01:53,509
-We must enjoy ourselves tonight.
-Let me propose another toast to you.

40
00:01:53,509 --> 00:01:54,070

Isn't His Majesty hosting today's banquet
in my honor?

42
00:02:11,430 --> 00:02:13,750
You all belong to
Prime Minister Wei's faction,

43
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:15,150
so why do you keep

44
00:02:15,150 --> 00:02:17,190
offering toasts only to
the Flower-Crowned General?

45
00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:18,079
Could it be

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,450
that you look down on this Marquis?

47
00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:23,520
You jest, Your Lordship.

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,030
General Fan arrived first,

49
00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:27,160
so we simply wished to liven things up.

50
00:02:27,620 --> 00:02:30,880
Allow me to toast Your Lordship
on your triumphant return.

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,260
Your Lordship,

52
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,210
we serve in the same court.

53
00:02:41,630 --> 00:02:43,000
Why did you do that?

54
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:45,680
You're Vice Minister Fang, right?

55
00:02:45,870 --> 00:02:47,670
As the Vice Minister of Revenue,

56
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,280
you were responsible for grain supplies
to the border, right?

57
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,680
And if I were?

58
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,280
You nearly caused civil unrest in Jizhou.

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,280
I haven't held you accountable yet,

60
00:02:56,430 --> 00:02:57,750
and here you are
acting like someone of importance.

61
00:02:57,750 --> 00:02:58,360
You...

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Tonight's banquet is held
in Your Lordship's honor.

63
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,240
Let's not discuss official business.

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,000
Vice Minister Fang,
you have wine all over yourself.

65
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,560

Let's go.

70
00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:14,710
Excuse us, Your Lordship.

71
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:15,960
This is outrageous!

72
00:03:17,630 --> 00:03:19,520
Grand Tutor, come on. Let me fill it up.

73
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,710
The real show has just begun.

74
00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:25,420
Let's sit back and watch.

75
00:03:26,590 --> 00:03:29,150
I was worried
you might actually come to blows.

76
00:03:29,150 --> 00:03:31,880
You think too highly of
those corrupt officials.

77
00:03:32,110 --> 00:03:34,570
They're all despicable at heart,

78
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,400
yet all know they're beneath me.

79
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,660
They wouldn't dare cause a scene openly.

80
00:03:40,630 --> 00:03:43,150
Don't worry.
I'll leave the banquet in a bit.

81
00:03:43,150 --> 00:03:45,350
Gongsun will assist me from the inside.

82
00:03:48,420 --> 00:03:49,050

83
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,340

86
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,120
Grand Tutor, you've recovered.

87
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,180
That's wonderful!

88
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,690
Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.

00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,400
This old subject is ashamed.

91
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,460
Prime Minister Wei, it's been a lot
for you these past few days.

92
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:13,000
I always do my duty diligently.

93
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,310
I don't find it taxing.

94
00:04:14,590 --> 00:04:15,630
But you, Grand Tutor,

95
00:04:15,630 --> 00:04:17,040
you must take care of your health.

96
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,360
Balance work and rest.

97
00:04:21,190 --> 00:04:22,720
Thank you for your concern.

98
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,920
Both of you are pillars of the state.

99
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,430
Today is a day of double joy.

00:04:28,510 --> 00:04:29,720
I'm very pleased.

101
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,120
In quelling the rebellion in Chongzhou,

102
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,600
the Marquis of Wu'an
risked his life repeatedly

103
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,060
and rendered great merit.

have remained secure

thanks to his defense.

107
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,800
Therefore, I hereby grant
the Marquis of Wu'an the Longquan Sword.

108
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,430
This sword was forged
by the founding emperor of our dynasty.

109
00:04:48,430 --> 00:04:51,360
With it, one may strike down
foolish rulers above...

110
00:04:55,159 --> 00:04:56,560
and execute treacherous officials below.

111
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:57,960
It's a token of my regard.

112
00:04:59,870 --> 00:05:00,560
Present it.

113
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:08,310
This Longquan Sword...

114
00:05:11,750 --> 00:05:13,610
truly lives up to its reputation.

115
00:05:17,950 --> 00:05:20,150

no one but Your Majesty
is worthy of wielding it.

122

123

Please forgive me, Your Highness!

139
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,120
I didn't mean to!

140

141

It's fine.

Today is a celebration banquet hosted
by my brother for the Marquis of Wu'an.

143

It's not appropriate to lose one's temper.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

I have to go back and change.

the Emperor, seriously!

00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,210
She's been placed in Qingyuan Palace.

187
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,560
Not gonna lie—

188
00:10:21,870 --> 00:10:24,260
this look actually suits you.

189
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,060
Thank you, Your Lordship.

190
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:31,440
Little eunuch.

191
00:10:32,430 --> 00:10:34,630
Bring that plate of pastries over here.

192
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:38,690
Yes, my lord.

193
00:10:43,390 --> 00:10:45,150
My subjects, drink your fill.

194
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:50,550
You...

195
00:10:55,510 --> 00:10:56,600
Please forgive me, Your Lordship.

196
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,530
Please forgive me, Your Lordship!

197
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,120
Marquis of Wu'an, are you alright?

198
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,910
I'm fine.

199
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:07,810
You stupid eunuch.

200
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,720
How dare you offend my Marquis of Wu'an!

201
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,630
Guards! Take him away and punish him!

202
00:11:10,330 --> 00:11:14,060
[Action Through Inaction]

203
00:11:11,630 --> 00:11:13,080
-Yes, Your Majesty.
-Yes, Your Majesty.

204
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:14,880
Your Majesty, please calm down.

205
00:11:15,150 --> 00:11:16,440
At a palace banquet like this,

206
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,100
it's better not to shed blood,

207
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,250
lest it spoil Your Majesty's mood.

208
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,360
You're so magnanimous.

209
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,910
You may go.

210
00:11:24,660 --> 00:11:26,480
[Action Through Inaction]

211
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,790
Alright.

212
00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:29,000
Since the Marquis has pleaded for you,
you stupid eunuch,

213
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,330
thank him immediately.

214
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,150
Thank you, Your Majesty.

215
00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:33,200
Thank you, Your Lordship.

216
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,790
What are you just standing there for?

217
00:11:34,790 --> 00:11:37,120
Escort the Marquis to change his clothes!

218
00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:38,390
Yes.

219
00:11:41,030 --> 00:11:42,430
Thank you, Your Majesty.

220
00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:50,800
[Action Through Inaction]

221
00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:59,360
The Emperor today...

222
00:11:59,830 --> 00:12:01,630
seems a bit overexcited.

223
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,000
Cheers!

224
00:12:24,270 --> 00:12:25,930
Prime Minister, please wait!

225
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,180
I heard that during the Battle of Lucheng,

226
00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:33,310
it was thanks to
your timely dispatch of grain supplies.

227
00:12:33,510 --> 00:12:34,870
You brilliantly str...

228
00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:37,710
strategized behind the scenes.

229
00:12:37,910 --> 00:12:39,440
I, on behalf of...

230
00:12:41,270 --> 00:12:42,830
the fallen border soldiers

231
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,550
and the wrongfully dead border civilians,

232
00:12:45,550 --> 00:12:46,550
offer you a toast.

233
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,120
Fan Changyu!

234
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,240
Are you toasting or being insolent?

235
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,390
Go on.

236
00:12:58,870 --> 00:13:00,150
Toasting, of course.

237
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,290
If not for our Prime Minister's help,

238
00:13:03,470 --> 00:13:05,450
[Supreme Order and Benevolent Governance]

239
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,060
Lucheng would likely have

240
00:13:05,750 --> 00:13:08,650
become another Jinzhou,
just as it did 17 years ago,

241
00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:11,030
with no reinforcements

242
00:13:11,390 --> 00:13:12,720
and no supplies.

243
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:15,390
By then, Old General He would not

244
00:13:15,630 --> 00:13:17,550
have been the only one to fall.

245
00:13:17,550 --> 00:13:21,010
The Marquis of Wu'an would've met
the same fate as General Xie—

246
00:13:22,270 --> 00:13:24,800
dying wretchedly,
strung up on the city walls

247
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,420
with his body torn open by the enemy.

248
00:13:27,910 --> 00:13:29,600
I'm just a butcher.

249
00:13:29,670 --> 00:13:32,410
My end likely wouldn't compare to...

250
00:13:33,390 --> 00:13:35,890
the big traitor Wei Qilin.

251
00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:37,460
So tell me—

252
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,780
doesn't that deserve a toast?

253
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:43,210
As an official,

254
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,940
I have a clear conscience.

255
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,440
However, General Fan,

256
00:13:51,630 --> 00:13:53,780
you truly are no match for Wei Qilin.

257
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,410
Prime Minister.

258
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,440
Where is the Marquis of Wu'an?

259
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,860
His Lordship said he needed to sober up

260
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:21,990
and went towards the Imperial Garden.

261
00:14:22,270 --> 00:14:23,510
Find him immediately

262
00:14:23,510 --> 00:14:24,710
and report back to me.

263
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,720
Yes.

264
00:14:26,750 --> 00:14:27,630
General Fan!

265
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:32,600
I, too, offer you a toast!

266
00:14:35,670 --> 00:14:38,530
And to all my subjects,
thank you for your hard work.

267
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,720
Since I ascended the throne,

268
00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:42,670
fortunately, you civil
and military officials have united

269
00:14:42,670 --> 00:14:43,840
and worked in harmony to uphold the realm.

270
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,440
Only thus does our country
enjoy peace today,

271
00:14:46,750 --> 00:14:49,480
and I can say I've honored
my ancestors' legacy.

272
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,000
I dare not call myself a wise ruler,

273
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,090
but tonight,

274
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,720
all my subjects,
for the peace of our realm,

275
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,450
let us drink this cup together!

276
00:14:58,790 --> 00:15:01,030
-Your Majesty is wise!
-Your Majesty is wise!

277
00:15:01,030 --> 00:15:03,240
-Your Majesty is a wise ruler!
-Your Majesty is a wise ruler!

278
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,270
-Your Majesty is wise!
-Your Majesty is a wise ruler!

279
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,960
What an incompetent emperor.

280
00:15:14,390 --> 00:15:16,850
Just as despicable as his father.

281
00:15:38,670 --> 00:15:39,840
You're finally here.

282
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,100
I've brought her here.

283
00:15:42,030 --> 00:15:43,080
Your Highness,

284
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,060
the osmanthus is blooming.

285
00:15:45,270 --> 00:15:46,320
Your Highness,

286
00:15:46,630 --> 00:15:48,340
the osmanthus is blooming.

287
00:15:48,910 --> 00:15:50,550
It wasn't easy to bring her here

288
00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:51,840
from the Cold Palace.

289
00:15:52,510 --> 00:15:53,360
Your Highness,

290
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,320
fire.

291
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Since that fire years ago,

292
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,390
people in the palace
have avoided this place.

293
00:15:58,390 --> 00:16:00,320
So it's safer to hide her here.

294
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,130
But she's completely...

295
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,670
delirious—

296
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,080
rambling incoherently,

297
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:07,240
making no sense at all.

298
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,520
Fire,

299
00:16:08,750 --> 00:16:09,790
Your Highness.

300
00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:11,440
Your Highness...

301
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,510
General Wei?

302
00:16:16,550 --> 00:16:18,240
Why have you returned?

303
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,750
Her Highness has told you to run!

304
00:16:19,750 --> 00:16:20,630
Run!

305
00:16:20,630 --> 00:16:22,440
Run! Run!

306
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,200
Fire!

307
00:16:24,390 --> 00:16:25,150
Fire!

308
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,390
Fire!

309
00:16:26,750 --> 00:16:27,630
Fire...

310
00:16:28,630 --> 00:16:29,890
Who is "Her Highness"?

311
00:16:31,870 --> 00:16:32,800
Her Highness...

312
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,060
Her Highness is pregnant.

313
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,870
Your Majesty, you cannot beat her!

314
00:16:37,870 --> 00:16:40,130
Her Highness and the child will both die!

315
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,490
The osmanthus is blooming.

316
00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:46,400
The osmanthus is blooming.

317
00:16:48,510 --> 00:16:50,000
It was Consort Virtue of the Qi clan.

318
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,080
It smells so fragrant.

319
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,280
This Qingyuan Palace

320
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,240
was formerly Consort Virtue's palace.

321
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,040
Many osmanthus trees
were planted here back then.

322
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,200
Osmanthus...

323
00:16:58,510 --> 00:16:59,370
Your Highness!

324
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:00,870
Osmanthus!

325
00:17:02,030 --> 00:17:02,890
Your Highness!

326
00:17:05,109 --> 00:17:07,240
I want to make incense with osmanthus.

327
00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:12,550
It smells so fragrant.
Who lit the incense?

328
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,700
Who has lit incense for Her Highness?

329
00:17:21,109 --> 00:17:22,240
We've walked into a trap.

330
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,369
Don't breathe it in.

331
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,829
Marquis of Wu'an,

332
00:17:26,069 --> 00:17:30,110
you and that maid have already been
affected by an aphrodisiac!

333
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,400
No matter what,

334
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,200
you won't escape the charge of indecency
within the imperial harem!

335
00:17:36,310 --> 00:17:38,030
If you know what's good for you,

336
00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:39,680
surrender immediately!

337
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,820
As long as you obey,

338
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,070
His Majesty

339
00:17:43,070 --> 00:17:46,790
will surely spare your life!

340
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,830
Marquis of Wu'an, oh, Marquis of Wu'an.

341
00:17:56,830 --> 00:17:59,030
No matter how brave and valiant you are,

342
00:17:59,110 --> 00:18:00,960
you won't escape—

343
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,350
you're trapped like a rat!

344
00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:12,640
General Fan! Help!

345
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,030
Someone must have discovered
the Princess Royal hiding that woman.

346
00:18:15,030 --> 00:18:17,200
She originally asked me to guard
near Qingyuan Palace,

347
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,510
but shortly after the Marquis of Wu'an
went in,

348
00:18:18,510 --> 00:18:20,200
Li Xiang surrounded the palace
with his men.

349
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:21,880
So I rushed here to report!

350
00:18:23,350 --> 00:18:24,790
I'll go to Qingyuan Palace.

351
00:18:24,790 --> 00:18:25,750
You go find Consort Dowager An.

352
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:26,480
But Her Highness said

353
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,830
Consort Dowager An
must not know about this!

354
00:18:28,830 --> 00:18:31,400
I'm afraid something terrible
is about to happen.

355
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:32,790
Only Consort Dowager An can
take control of the situation.

356
00:18:32,790 --> 00:18:33,310
Go.

357
00:18:33,310 --> 00:18:34,000
Yes.

358
00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:48,160
Quick! Get him!

359
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,760
All of you, attack together!

360
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,670
Isn't he already poisoned?

361
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,000
Why can he still fight like that?

362
00:20:27,590 --> 00:20:28,190
Yan Zheng?

363
00:20:28,790 --> 00:20:29,510
Yan Zheng!

364
00:20:30,030 --> 00:20:30,680
Yan Zheng!

365
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:31,920
Get up!

366
00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:44,650
Yan Zheng.

367
00:20:45,790 --> 00:20:47,180
What happened?

368
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,720
Changyu...

369
00:20:54,310 --> 00:20:55,570
Why are you burning up?

370
00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:05,970
Your hand—how did it get hurt?

371
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,490
Changyu...

372
00:21:15,830 --> 00:21:17,230
It's too dangerous here.

373
00:21:31,310 --> 00:21:32,000
Come here!

374
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,070
Hurry!

375
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,200
Go seal the palace gates immediately!

376
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,590
An assassin has broken into
the Imperial Garden!

377
00:21:54,590 --> 00:21:55,250
-Yes!
-Yes!

378
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,270
Your Majesty,

379
00:22:10,750 --> 00:22:12,750
this old subject offers you a toast.

380
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:15,480
Grand Tutor!

381
00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:17,440
Prime Minister Wei?

382
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,930
Come on, my subjects.

383
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,830
Where are the Marquis of Wu'an
and the Flower-Crowned General?

384
00:22:30,830 --> 00:22:32,160
Why have they both gone?

385
00:22:32,310 --> 00:22:34,070
Your Majesty,
something terrible has happened!

386
00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:34,870
Your Majesty!

387
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,400
The Marquis of Wu'an,
in a drunken disgrace,

388
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:38,830
has actually seized a palace maid

389
00:22:38,830 --> 00:22:40,490
and attempted to violate her!

390
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,070
This servant tried to stop him

391
00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:45,330
b-but was beaten and thrown out
by the Marquis!

392
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,270
Insolent.

393
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,920
Framing an important court official—

394
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,720
do you know the penalty for that?

395
00:22:51,310 --> 00:22:52,640
I saw it with my own eyes.

396
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,120
I wouldn't dare fabricate such a thing!

397
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:56,510
Your Majesty,

398
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,920
perhaps there is some misunderstanding.

399
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,750
We'd better go see for ourselves.

400
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:05,410
You're right, Grand Tutor Li.

401
00:23:07,830 --> 00:23:09,160
You wretched slave,

402
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,480
how dare you frame my loyal general?

403
00:23:12,270 --> 00:23:13,270
My subjects!

404
00:23:14,510 --> 00:23:15,590
-Yes, Your Majesty.
-Yes, Your Majesty.

405
00:23:15,590 --> 00:23:17,110
Come with me to have a look!

406
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,420
-Yes, Your Majesty.
-Yes, Your Majesty.

407
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,520
Prime Minister Wei,
aren't you coming with me?

408
00:24:10,030 --> 00:24:11,590
I have urgent matters to report
to His Majesty.

409
00:24:11,590 --> 00:24:12,510
The situation is critical.

410
00:24:12,510 --> 00:24:13,510
Do not stop me.

411
00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:15,030
Lord Li, the palace banquet has begun.

412
00:24:15,030 --> 00:24:16,350
No entry without a decree.

413
00:24:16,350 --> 00:24:18,270
Violators will be punished
according to palace rules.

414
00:24:18,270 --> 00:24:19,550
We're just following orders.

415
00:24:19,550 --> 00:24:21,080
Please forgive us, Lord Li.

416
00:24:21,150 --> 00:24:23,720
[Waist token]

417
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,000
This is the palace pass
His Majesty bestowed upon my family.

418
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
I'm among those invited!

419
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,800
Does even this not permit entry?

420
00:24:27,030 --> 00:24:28,260
Go search over there!

421
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,510
Go!

422
00:24:30,780 --> 00:24:32,310
There, there, and over there!

423
00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:33,920
Search everywhere carefully!

424
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,030
You useless idiots!

425
00:24:36,030 --> 00:24:38,140
There are a bunch of you,

426
00:24:38,170 --> 00:24:39,820
and you still can't find him?

427
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:41,190
Search carefully!

428
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,860
Head Eunuch Li, bad news!
There's a fire over there!

429
00:24:48,500 --> 00:24:49,510
Oh no.

430
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,540
The hunter may become the hunted.

431
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,720
Why are you just standing there?

432
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,150
Can't you see the fire?

433
00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:59,400
This must be the Marquis of Wu'an
trying to destroy the evidence!

434
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,240
Go put out the fire! Go!

435
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:01,900
-Yes!
-Yes!

436
00:25:07,330 --> 00:25:11,900
[Qingyuan Palace]

437
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,480
Well...

438
00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:16,070
How on earth did such a great fire
break out all of a sudden?

439
00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:16,830
Your Majesty,

440
00:25:16,830 --> 00:25:17,880
an attendant heard

441
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,440
a palace maid cry out,
"licentious villain."

442
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,640
By the time I arrived,

443
00:25:20,750 --> 00:25:21,440
I saw...

444
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,800
Who did you see?

445
00:25:25,510 --> 00:25:28,370
I saw... the Marquis of Wu'an
fleeing from the hall.

446
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,750
He even injured others.

447
00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:31,350
Head Eunuch Li has taken men to chase him.

448
00:25:31,350 --> 00:25:32,590
He escaped?

449
00:25:32,590 --> 00:25:34,110
How could you let him escape?

450
00:25:34,110 --> 00:25:34,910
Your Majesty!

451
00:25:36,940 --> 00:25:38,880
Xie Zheng has not only defiled
the imperial harem

452
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,030
but also tried to destroy the evidence.

453
00:25:40,030 --> 00:25:41,200
He must be arrested immediately.

454
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,510
If he resists, kill him on the spot!

455
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,200
Your Majesty!

456
00:25:51,310 --> 00:25:52,070
Your Majesty!

457
00:25:52,070 --> 00:25:52,550
Consort Dowager An!

458
00:25:52,550 --> 00:25:53,350
Your Majesty!

459
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,350
Shu is still inside!

460
00:25:55,510 --> 00:25:56,550
Shu!

461
00:25:56,790 --> 00:25:57,510

00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:59,440
Consort Dowager An!

465
00:25:59,550 --> 00:26:01,030
Why are you stopping me?

466
00:26:01,030 --> 00:26:02,440
Go save her!

467
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,270
Save her!

468
00:26:04,830 --> 00:26:06,830
The Princess Royal is still inside?

469
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:07,640
Why are you just standing here?

470
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:08,720
Go put out the fire!

471
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:09,200
Yes!

472
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,160
Go!

473
00:26:10,790 --> 00:26:11,400

474
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,720
-Your Highness!
-Consort Dowager An!

[Qingyuan Palace]

478
00:26:14,310 --> 00:26:16,750
The fire is too big!
You can't go in there yourself!

479
00:26:16,750 --> 00:26:18,160
Consort Dowager An, you must take care

480
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,070
of yourself, Consort Dowager.

481
00:26:19,070 --> 00:26:21,200
Enough talking! I'll go in to save her!

482
00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:22,920
Wait!

483
00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:24,550
Gongsun Yin!

484
00:26:24,550 --> 00:26:26,000
-Shut up!
-I knew it...

485
00:26:26,070 --> 00:26:27,000
And you!

486
00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:29,490
You dare address me like that?

487
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,920
[Qingyuan Palace]

488
00:26:36,670 --> 00:26:39,710
[Qingyuan Palace]

489
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Your Majesty,

490
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:45,860
once this news gets out,

491
00:26:45,860 --> 00:26:47,790
I fear the Yanzhou Army
under the Marquis of Wu'an

492
00:26:47,790 --> 00:26:48,920
will become unstable.

493
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:49,790
And

494
00:26:49,790 --> 00:26:52,520
the Flower-Crowned General
who left early...

495
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,830
Her Jizhou Army

496
00:26:53,830 --> 00:26:55,720
must also be addressed promptly!

497
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,050
Then, Grand Tutor Li, what do you propose?

498
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,860
I ask Your Majesty to grant me
full authority over this matter!

499
00:27:02,610 --> 00:27:03,590
Shu...

500
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,960
Once that group of soldiers passes,

501
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,560
we'll run into the corridor.

502
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,570
Stay still.

503
00:27:19,510 --> 00:27:20,770

00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,110
I really like you.

507
00:27:41,110 --> 00:27:42,630
Would you stop that?

508
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:05,800
Who's there?

509
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,680
He's there. After him!

510
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,110
Stop!

If she lives,

to turn things around.

00:29:31,310 --> 00:29:33,240
is truly ruthless.

someone taught me this.

540
00:29:58,310 --> 00:29:59,750
This method can save her.

541
00:29:59,750 --> 00:30:00,960
Let me ask you: what matters more now,

542
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,490
her reputation or her life?

543
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:03,190
You...

544
00:30:05,310 --> 00:30:06,960
Save her. Save her now!

H-How dare you!

00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,550
This is outrageous!

550
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,830
Humiliating the Princess Royal in public—

551
00:30:29,830 --> 00:30:31,240
have you no regard
for the royal family's dignity?

552
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:31,960
Indeed.

I spilled too much blood.

through prayer and penance,

557
00:30:42,370 --> 00:30:44,410
did I manage to preserve my only daughter!

00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,680
If I can't even preserve Shu'er's life,

560
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,040
I don't mind killing a few more!

561
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,420
Commanders of the Imperial Guards—
heed my order!

562
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:59,870
[Qingyuan Palace]

563
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:55,440
-Yes, Your Highness!
-Yes, Your Highness!

564
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,110
Seal all exits.

565
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,000
If a single word of tonight's events
leaks out,

566
00:31:00,110 --> 00:31:02,310
everyone present, without exception,

567
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,110
shall die!

568
00:31:04,300 --> 00:31:05,480
-Yes, Your Highness!
-Yes, Your Highness!

569
00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:07,500
[Qingyuan Palace]

570
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,680
Follow me!

571
00:31:08,310 --> 00:31:10,110
L-Listen to Consort Dowager An.

572
00:31:10,830 --> 00:31:11,880
We'll do as Consort Dowager An says.

573
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:12,920
Gongsun,

574
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,880
I order you to save her.

575
00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:16,920
If you cannot save Shu,

576
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,070
you will die too!

577
00:31:26,910 --> 00:31:29,940
[Qingyuan Palace]

578
00:31:32,310 --> 00:31:33,240
Shu!

579
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:37,960
Shu!

580
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,760
You're awake.

581
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,590
Shu, you're awake!

582
00:31:42,590 --> 00:31:43,240
Shu!

583
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:44,040
Your Majesty,

584
00:31:44,590 --> 00:31:47,510
although Gongsun Yin
saved the Princess Royal,

585
00:31:47,510 --> 00:31:48,750
that does not prove

586
00:31:48,750 --> 00:31:50,310
Xie Zheng's innocence!

587
00:31:50,310 --> 00:31:51,840
Whether he is an accomplice

588
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,480
can only be determined
after interrogation.

589
00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:57,880
Well...

590
00:31:59,510 --> 00:32:01,640
The one who saved
the Princess Royal tonight

591
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,070
was a royal physician.

592
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,900
Gongsun was never here.

593
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,200
What do you think, Your Highness?

594
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:14,030
Precisely.

595
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:15,440
Tonight's events

596
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,920
end here.

597
00:32:18,110 --> 00:32:18,850
Right.

598
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,100
They end here.

599
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,410
Tonight's events end here.

600
00:32:25,830 --> 00:32:26,960
Shu.

601
00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:23,550
Your Majesty,

602
00:33:23,550 --> 00:33:25,000
we haven't found the culprit yet.

603
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,530
We've expanded the search.

604
00:33:27,350 --> 00:33:29,410
Are you looking for me, Your Majesty?

605
00:33:40,550 --> 00:33:41,550
The two of you...

606
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,680
Why are the two of you together?

607
00:33:56,750 --> 00:33:59,110
And why are your clothes wet,
my dear subject?

608
00:33:59,110 --> 00:34:01,310
I was drunk and fell into the lotus pond.

609
00:34:02,350 --> 00:34:05,550
Fortunately, the Flower-Crowned General
pulled me out.

610
00:34:07,290 --> 00:34:08,060
Guards,

611
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,230
bring the Marquis a change of clothes

612
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,110
and prepare a bowl of ginger soup.

613
00:34:13,110 --> 00:34:13,550
Yes.

614
00:34:13,550 --> 00:34:14,550
Marquis of Wu'an!

615
00:34:15,230 --> 00:34:17,480
A fire broke out
in Qingyuan Palace tonight,

616
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,400
and the Princess Royal
nearly lost her life!

617
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:20,860
Witnesses have testified

618
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,110
that it was all your doing—that you seized
a maid, defiled the imperial harem,

619
00:34:24,110 --> 00:34:26,310
and even tried to destroy the evidence!

620
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,000
How do you explain that?

621
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,520
I beg Your Majesty
to investigate thoroughly!

622
00:34:31,630 --> 00:34:34,330
The Marquis of Wu'an is the very culprit!

623
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:35,320
You...

624
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:36,280
I'm the culprit?

625
00:34:37,150 --> 00:34:40,480
Aren't you Imperial Guards out there
catching the culprit?

626
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,280
What? Is there a second culprit now?

627
00:34:45,850 --> 00:34:48,310
Your Majesty,
the fugitive has been caught.

628
00:34:51,710 --> 00:34:52,510
Bring him in.

629
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:53,440
Yes.

630
00:35:13,110 --> 00:35:14,480
Your Li family

631
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,560
really put on a good show
of placing righteousness above family.

632
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,190
How could it be you?

633
00:35:22,590 --> 00:35:26,070
I intended to confess my feelings
to the Princess Royal tonight.

634
00:35:26,070 --> 00:35:28,930
I never expected to
cause such a misunderstanding.

635
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,300
And even disturbed Your Majesty.

636
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,600
Please punish me, Your Majesty.

637
00:35:34,190 --> 00:35:34,880
Well...

638
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,590
The one who went to see
the Princess Royal today was me—

639
00:35:37,590 --> 00:35:38,990
not the Marquis of Wu'an.

640
00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:41,070
Please judge wisely, Your Majesty.

641
00:35:46,510 --> 00:35:47,510
Why has this night

642
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,700
been filled with so many
inappropriate acts and misunderstandings?

643
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,110
I share Your Majesty's curiosity.

644
00:35:54,700 --> 00:35:56,560
I can usually hold my liquor well.

645
00:35:57,710 --> 00:35:58,960
I don't know why,

646
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,740
but I got drunk
after just one drink tonight.

647
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,680
Could it be
that the wine Your Majesty bestowed

648
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:05,630
was too strong?

649
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,600
That was the wine aged for a long time
in the palace cellars.

650
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,340
Naturally, it was a bit stronger.

651
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:18,760
The wine was...

652
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,550
this servant, Li Xiang,
prepared it himself!

653
00:36:21,550 --> 00:36:22,190
Right?

654
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,480
Could it be
you've harbored ulterior motives?

655
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:29,590
I...

656
00:36:32,530 --> 00:36:33,380
Your Maj...

657
00:36:41,630 --> 00:36:42,760
That's right!

658
00:36:43,590 --> 00:36:44,600
This matter...

659
00:36:47,070 --> 00:36:51,840
was entirely my doing.

660
00:36:53,590 --> 00:36:54,590
It was all because

661
00:36:54,670 --> 00:36:58,160
the Marquis of Wu'an
had repeatedly humiliated me before.

662
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,460
He even cut off one of my ears.

663
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:03,760
So...

664
00:37:04,230 --> 00:37:07,190
So I harbored a deep grudge all this time

665
00:37:07,190 --> 00:37:08,880
and seized this opportunity

666
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,070
to frame him.

667
00:37:14,550 --> 00:37:14,760
You...

668
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:16,840
Was it also you who set the fire...

669
00:37:18,590 --> 00:37:20,390
in the Princess Royal's palace?

670
00:37:21,630 --> 00:37:22,280
Enough!

671
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,480
You wretched slave,
you've betrayed His Majesty!

672
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,840
His Majesty was also deceived

673
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,120
by this servant!

674
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,210
Your Majesty,

675
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,510
it's clear that someone
set a trap tonight,

676
00:37:35,510 --> 00:37:37,910
trying to frame
the Marquis of Wu'an and me.

677
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,140
I used to be a butcher.

678
00:37:40,230 --> 00:37:41,510
I don't understand grand principles.

679
00:37:41,510 --> 00:37:43,440
But I fought enemies on the border,

680
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:45,170
surviving countless battles.

681
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,390
Now that I'm home,

682
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,480
I'm being framed by those around me!

683
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:49,760
Perhaps Your Majesty,

684
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:51,280
Grand Tutor,

685
00:37:53,230 --> 00:37:54,620
or Prime Minister Wei

686
00:37:55,590 --> 00:37:57,280
can explain this to me.

687
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,100
The state is governed by laws.

688
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:02,320
Li Xiang is guilty

689
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,360
and will be punished according to the law.

690
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,110
This has nothing to do with anyone else.

691
00:38:09,510 --> 00:38:10,310
Your Majesty.

692
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,590
I wonder if the Longquan Sword
you bestowed upon me

693
00:38:13,590 --> 00:38:14,710
still holds.

694
00:38:26,030 --> 00:38:27,030
Of course it does.

695
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:40,590
You...

696
00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:44,840
Since Your Majesty has granted me
the Longquan Sword,

697
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,320
I shall rid Your Majesty of this traitor.

698
00:38:49,070 --> 00:38:50,470
Thank you, Your Majesty.

699
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:01,840
My subjects,

700
00:39:02,550 --> 00:39:04,480
you're all the pillars of the state

701
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,920
and have rendered great service.

702
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,510
Regarding tonight's events,

703
00:39:10,510 --> 00:39:12,400
I will investigate thoroughly,

704
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,920
root out the true culprit
behind this scheme,

705
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:15,980
and see them punished without mercy.

706
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:19,920
It's late.

707
00:39:21,230 --> 00:39:22,760
You may all take your leave.

708
00:39:27,230 --> 00:39:28,000
Let's go.

709
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:42,760
Grandfather.

710
00:39:53,110 --> 00:39:54,080
Li Xiang...

711
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:04,930
Prime Minister Wei,

712
00:40:05,150 --> 00:40:06,610
why haven't you gone home?

713
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:14,040
[Speak with Caution]

714
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,150
Seventeen years ago,

715
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,300
the late Emperor
pulled the very same trick.

716
00:40:17,590 --> 00:40:19,030
You Qi family...

717
00:40:20,070 --> 00:40:22,000
you're all cut from the same cloth.

718
00:40:26,510 --> 00:40:27,110
You...

719
00:40:28,740 --> 00:40:30,540
This is the last time.

720
00:40:33,790 --> 00:40:41,010
[Speak with Caution]

721
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,800
If it were the late emperor standing here,

722
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,760
would you dare
treat him this way, Prime Minister?

723
00:40:43,630 --> 00:40:55,130
[Speak with Caution]

724
00:40:47,230 --> 00:40:48,890
Or has Your Majesty forgotten

725
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,440
how you came to the throne?

726
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,230
Such a deep gash.

727
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,890
