You haven't rested at all?

173
00:12:33,390 --> 00:12:34,550
Then how could you...

174
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:36,030
Yesterday, to save me,

175
00:12:36,030 --> 00:12:38,030
you rushed into the fire.

176
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,240
I was so afraid you'd die in there.

177
00:12:40,270 --> 00:12:41,630
-Alright, alright.
-You must be hurt.

178
00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:43,430
-Let me see.
-Alright, alright.

179
00:12:43,510 --> 00:12:44,720
You're very weak right now.

180
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,750
Stop talking.

181
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,240
Listen to me.

182
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,390
In the past,

183
00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:57,720
I was always so timid.

184
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:00,560
But this time,

185
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,080
I want to tell you,

186
00:13:02,550 --> 00:13:03,320
from now on,

187
00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:05,930
no matter what happens,

188
00:13:05,930 --> 00:13:07,510
I will stay by your side.

189
00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:10,120
And only I can take care of you.

190
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,120
This Tiger Tally doesn't match.

191
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:39,910
It's fake.

192
00:13:41,750 --> 00:13:42,610
Your Highness,

193
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,360
this Tiger Tally is real.

194
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Crown Prince Chengde and General Xie
can't hold on much longer.

195
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,000
Jinzhou is in danger!

196
00:13:49,150 --> 00:13:52,120
For the sake of the country
and the people,

197
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,860
please send troops
to rescue them immediately!

198
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:17,670
General.

199
00:14:19,510 --> 00:14:20,150
Come in.

200
00:14:24,150 --> 00:14:24,910
What is it?

201
00:14:25,150 --> 00:14:25,870
General,

202
00:14:26,030 --> 00:14:28,390
Guard Jin has been waiting outside
for a long time.

203
00:14:28,390 --> 00:14:30,920
He asked that you see him
as soon as you wake up.

204
00:14:31,270 --> 00:14:32,000
I see.

205
00:14:32,390 --> 00:14:33,030
You may go.

206
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,200
There is a letter here.

207
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,600
It's for you personally.

208
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,630

It's from Qianqian?

211
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,170
The Tiger Tally?

212
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,520
Where did this come from?

213
00:15:12,630 --> 00:15:13,430
Last night,

214
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,320
a maid delivering a letter was found dead

215
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,380
at the gate of our General's Mansion.

216
00:15:19,270 --> 00:15:20,510

She's dead?

00:15:53,170 --> 00:15:54,830
You guys, bring your weapons.

224
00:15:54,860 --> 00:15:56,630
Search around
for any suspicious individuals.

[Flower-Crowned General's Mansion]

226

Yes!

227
00:16:03,150 --> 00:16:04,410
That dream just now...

228
00:16:05,270 --> 00:16:06,510
Could it be that

229
00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:09,530
Heaven also wants to seek justice
for my father?

230
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,080
General.

231
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,080
Someone named Lady Shisan
wants to see you.

232
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,150
Lady Shisan?

233
00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:17,160
I'll go with you.

234
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,240
No need.

235
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,580
I want to talk to her alone.

236
00:16:35,270 --> 00:16:37,120
That lowly maid
has already delivered the Tiger Tally

237
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,590
to Fan Changyu.

238
00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:45,100
Deal with it.

239
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:45,920
Yes.

240
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,970
You weren't drunk that day?

241
00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:10,440
I love you so much.

242
00:17:10,589 --> 00:17:12,150
Why did you do this to me?

243
00:17:13,510 --> 00:17:14,680
Every time I think

244
00:17:16,069 --> 00:17:17,310
you won't leave me

245
00:17:17,829 --> 00:17:19,890
and that you're willing to be with me,

246
00:17:20,030 --> 00:17:22,099
it always ends up like this.

247
00:17:22,270 --> 00:17:23,790
Is my love so cheap

248
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,790
that you can just trample on it?

249
00:17:25,790 --> 00:17:27,000
That isn't love.

250
00:17:27,109 --> 00:17:27,790
It's possessiveness!

251
00:17:27,790 --> 00:17:29,250
It's a desire for control!

252
00:17:32,110 --> 00:17:33,910
I am about to become the Emperor.

You are nothing.

00:17:39,310 --> 00:17:41,490
I don't care about being an empress.

Without you,

258
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,280

259

Kill me if you have the guts.

I don't want anything.

267
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,220
I just want to leave you forever.

268
00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:52,530
You forced me to do this.

269

Bring the shackles!

270
00:18:54,310 --> 00:18:54,980
Yes.

271
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,830
These are cast from refined steel.

272
00:19:08,830 --> 00:19:10,590
Even blades and axes cannot break them.

273
00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:11,880
If you want to escape,

274
00:19:12,110 --> 00:19:14,640
you must cut off one of our hands.

275
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:16,880
You're crazy.

276
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,320
You must have lost your mind!

277
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,080
You can't escape.

278
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,630
In this lifetime,

279
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,680
you belong only to me.

280
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
I didn't expect you to be alive.

281
00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:54,920
Why do you want to see me?

282
00:19:55,340 --> 00:19:56,720
To avenge Sui Yuanqing?

283
00:19:59,030 --> 00:20:00,310
It seems that

284
00:20:00,790 --> 00:20:03,850
I'm the only one left who still remembers
to avenge him.

285
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,440
This is for you.

286
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,700
Sui Yuanqing gave it to me.

287
00:20:12,270 --> 00:20:13,110
And this.

288
00:20:18,030 --> 00:20:19,680
I'm leaving you a way out.

289
00:20:19,790 --> 00:20:22,350
Take this and go find Fan Changyu,

290
00:20:22,350 --> 00:20:24,070
and I will give you a...

291
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,830
token of loyalty.

292
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,880
The Tiger Tally is yours.

293
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,550
And he is dead.

294
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,930
I guess

295
00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:37,280
he just wanted Qi Min

296
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,300
to be doomed eternally.

297
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,260
What about you?

298
00:20:43,690 --> 00:20:44,730
What do you want?

299
00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:48,510
Me?

300
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,020
I used to think

301
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,100
you and Xie Zheng were my enemies.

302
00:20:55,750 --> 00:20:57,070
You killed my brothers.

303
00:20:57,070 --> 00:20:59,680
And Xie Zheng wiped out
my Qingfeng Stronghold.

304
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,070
Later, I felt that

305
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,970
he played with my feelings,

306
00:21:04,270 --> 00:21:05,110
causing me and Qingfeng Stronghold

307
00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:06,830
to fall into ruin.

308
00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:09,640
But today I realized,

309
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,170
worldly grievances
are born of cause and effect.

310
00:21:15,110 --> 00:21:16,510
Revenge is endless.

311
00:21:17,270 --> 00:21:18,630
And all this killing

312
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,440
is never-ending too.

313
00:21:22,350 --> 00:21:23,640
I've given you the Tiger Tally.

314
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,200
It...

315
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,790
Take the head with you.

316
00:21:27,030 --> 00:21:28,360
I don't need it anymore.

317
00:21:29,110 --> 00:21:30,770
You can leave his body intact.

318
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,790
Thank you for today.

319
00:21:50,150 --> 00:21:52,680
I'll have someone get you
a new travel permit.

320
00:21:52,790 --> 00:21:54,250
You'll be free from now on.

321
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,660
Consider it repayment

322
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,240
for your kindness to Changning.

323
00:22:01,010 --> 00:22:02,740
But as for the score between us,

324
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,620
we'll settle it when I return.

325
00:22:10,180 --> 00:22:12,130
I hope the next time we meet,

326
00:22:12,590 --> 00:22:13,720
you're still alive.

[Talisman of Army]

328
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,240
Qianqian sent this.

329
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:35,040
I dreamed of Father last night.

330
00:22:35,070 --> 00:22:36,870
I woke up to see this Tiger Tally.

331
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,180
But I don't understand why

332
00:22:40,790 --> 00:22:43,030
Lord Changxin framed my father.

333
00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:45,390
Why should the defeat at Jinzhou

334
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,540
and the deaths
of hundreds of thousands of soldiers

335
00:22:50,830 --> 00:22:53,030
all be blamed on my father?

336
00:22:55,030 --> 00:22:58,230
My parents had been living in anonymity
for over a decade.

337
00:22:59,310 --> 00:23:00,160
Why...

338
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,410
why were they still killed?

339
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,370
I want to clear my father's name
before the world.

340
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,590
Your father

341
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,120
and the soldiers of Jinzhou
who died in vain

342

this pair of Tiger Tallies alone

345
00:23:27,830 --> 00:23:29,030

348

was Consort Virtue.

Consort Virtue and Wei Yan?

354
00:23:55,750 --> 00:23:58,550

that they had an affair.

355

356

Are there no clues left at all?

357

Don't be anxious.

360

Even if Qi Sheng knows something,

361
00:24:13,940 --> 00:24:15,400
he wouldn't dare to say it.

362
00:24:16,170 --> 00:24:18,010
He has been a puppet for decades.

363
00:24:18,830 --> 00:24:21,130
He is terrified of Wei Yan.

364
00:24:21,330 --> 00:24:23,730
He certainly wouldn't dare to pursue this.

365
00:24:24,790 --> 00:24:25,960

366
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,000
if we want to take down Wei Yan

367
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,200

368

372
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:45,960

Zheng,

517
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,880
I made these osmanthus cakes myself.

518
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:15,750
Remember,

519
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,200
what I love most

520
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,750
is this osmanthus cake.

521
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,080
Yan, when you read this,
it's like seeing me.

522
00:32:51,590 --> 00:32:53,520
When you return in triumph and read this,

523
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,900
I will likely have passed away.

524
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:57,750
I only wish that in the next life,

525
00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:59,220
you will be a commoner,

526

Rongyin's final letter.

528
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,860
It was actually Brother

529
00:33:06,890 --> 00:33:08,670
who returned to the Capital halfway,

530
00:33:08,670 --> 00:33:10,810
causing the fall of Jinzhou.

531
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,860
So Linshan's death

532
00:33:15,330 --> 00:33:18,110
was also caused by him.

reveal the truth of the Jinzhou case.

539

I'm caught in the middle,
unable to make my own choices.

540
00:33:42,260 --> 00:33:43,840
Perhaps only my death

541
00:33:44,030 --> 00:33:45,960
can settle this dispute.

542
00:33:47,110 --> 00:33:50,220
I hope this will also awaken my brother's
conscience

543

I know what you want to say.

560

But this is not the time

Once the Petition Drum is struck,

563
00:35:00,510 --> 00:35:01,670
the Emperor must hold court

to hear the subjects' pleas or grievances!

Changyu's grievance

566
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,150
has been blown out of proportion
by those with ulterior motives.

567

The whole world knows about it now.

568

Brother, you can't hide from this.

Brother!

570
00:35:14,550 --> 00:35:16,100
You framed Xie Zheng

571

and nearly cost me my life.

I haven't settled this score with you yet.

573

But if you can show the authority
of an emperor

574
00:35:25,710 --> 00:35:27,480
and clear Changyu's name,

575
00:35:28,670 --> 00:35:30,270

[Chongde Hall]

585
00:36:17,710 --> 00:36:20,070
Regarding the unjust case
of Jinzhou 17 years ago,

586
00:36:20,070 --> 00:36:21,590
Wei Qilin was framed.

587
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,000
Today, I, Fan Changyu, stake my life

588
00:36:25,710 --> 00:36:27,040
to implore Your Majesty

589
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,550
to uphold justice

590
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,070
and right the wrongs!

591
00:36:41,670 --> 00:36:42,930
This is the Tiger Tally

592
00:36:43,150 --> 00:36:45,410
Wei Qilin used to seek help in Chongzhou.

593
00:36:46,630 --> 00:36:47,840
This is the truth.

594
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,480
But back then, Lord Changxin

595
00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:52,840
claimed this Tiger Tally was a fake

596
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,480
and refused to send troops.

597
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,810
That is what caused the Jinzhou Massacre.

598
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:57,670
It shows

599
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,400
that someone
deliberately delayed military action.

600
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,730
The Xie and Wei families

601
00:37:02,150 --> 00:37:03,400
were both framed.

602
00:37:08,590 --> 00:37:10,020
If this is proven true,

603
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:11,710
Fan,

604
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,880
how do you wish for me
to punish the culprit?

605
00:37:15,550 --> 00:37:16,840
This is a fake.

606
00:37:18,630 --> 00:37:20,280
Shameless.

607
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:23,290
On what grounds do you call it fake?

608
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,440
On what grounds?

609
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,580
On the grounds that among those present,

610
00:37:27,590 --> 00:37:30,120
the only one
who was there during the massacre

611
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:31,590
was me.

612
00:37:32,590 --> 00:37:34,320
You claim this is real,

613
00:37:35,150 --> 00:37:36,760
but what proof do you have?

614
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,450
Although I am a new general,

615
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:41,840
I know that

616
00:37:42,590 --> 00:37:44,520
all Tiger Tallies must be archived

617
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,150
with imprints as proof.

618
00:37:46,150 --> 00:37:47,280
We can compare them.

619
00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:49,800
All paper records

620
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,400
were destroyed in the fire 17 years ago.

621
00:37:55,150 --> 00:37:57,070
How could it be such a coincidence?

622
00:37:57,070 --> 00:37:58,960
It is just that coincidental.

623
00:37:59,690 --> 00:38:01,450
I also know

624
00:38:01,550 --> 00:38:03,710
why you are so obsessed with this.

625
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:04,890
It's simply because

626
00:38:05,070 --> 00:38:07,880

00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,670
The case of the palace burning
has yet to be resolved,

681
00:40:26,670 --> 00:40:28,600
and yet you are here defending her.

682
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,320
Could it be that you,

683
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,510
too, harbor thoughts of rebellion?

684
00:40:35,030 --> 00:40:36,670
I'm afraid the one

685
00:40:37,030 --> 00:40:39,490
with thoughts of rebellion
is someone else.

686
00:40:47,710 --> 00:40:48,510
This letter

687
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,290
is a plea for help written
by Consort Virtue to Wei Yan back then.

688
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,400
Wei Yan, for his own private affection,

689
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,600
returned to the Capital unauthorized,

690
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,480
abandoning the soldiers of Jinzhou
at the front line,

691
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:01,140
eventually

692
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,860
causing a great disaster.

693
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:10,750
[Yan, I hope this letter finds you well.
Disaster has struck suddenly.]

694
00:41:10,750 --> 00:41:11,200
[I can only hope you]

695
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:11,700
[will aid me in this time of peril.]

696
00:41:11,700 --> 00:41:12,200
[The Beijue tribes have invaded
Great Yin, and my father has led the army]

697
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:12,700
[to resist them. We thought this
would ensure the safety of the country,]

698
00:41:12,700 --> 00:41:13,200
[but it turned out
to be a dark scheme]

699
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,200
[of treacherous men. That foolish ruler
trusted slander too readily.]

700
00:41:16,110 --> 00:41:18,770
It's a case of the guilty
accusing the innocent.

701
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:19,510
Wei Yan,

702
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,290
you are the biggest traitor
in the Battle of Jinzhou!

703
00:41:23,710 --> 00:41:30,110
[Great Yin Gate]

704
00:41:33,210 --> 00:41:34,590
[Great Yin Gate]

705
00:41:37,550 --> 00:41:42,930
[Yin]

706
00:41:40,150 --> 00:41:42,630
We have our people
within the Imperial Guard.

707
00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:45,160
The palace gates
will fall without an attack.

708
00:41:46,190 --> 00:41:49,800
I have already spread the news
from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

709
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,060
The droughts and floods over these years

710
00:41:52,550 --> 00:41:54,710
are all due to a disruption
in the imperial bloodline

711
00:41:54,710 --> 00:41:56,570
and an illegitimate succession.

712
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,440
Your Highness, you're the descendant
of Crown Prince Chengde.

713
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:03,300
Your succession is the will of the people

714
00:42:03,630 --> 00:42:05,470
and the desire of the officials.

715
00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:07,510
Good.

716
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:09,970
It has been 17 years.

717
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,320
I have finally returned to this place.
