1
00:02:24,542 --> 00:02:27,170
His Highness, Prince Yu arrives!
2
00:02:29,747 --> 00:02:30,975
Your Majesty.
3
00:02:31,215 --> 00:02:31,738
Yu...
4
00:02:31,949 --> 00:02:33,075
is everything ready?
5
00:02:36,587 --> 00:02:36,951
Mother...
6
00:02:37,155 --> 00:02:38,281
Second Brother should be here soon.
7
00:02:39,390 --> 00:02:40,379
Has he entered the Palace?
8
00:02:40,625 --> 00:02:42,684
I hear he stopped at the Official Inn
to await orders.
9
00:02:43,995 --> 00:02:45,326
First Brother mentioned...
10
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:46,189
that as soon as Father arrives...
11
00:02:46,397 --> 00:02:47,864
he will ask permission to leave.
12
00:02:49,701 --> 00:02:51,328
He wants to go to Qingzhou.
13
00:03:14,225 --> 00:03:15,715
Mother.
14
00:03:29,607 --> 00:03:32,041
Her Majesty the Empress arrives!
15
00:03:39,984 --> 00:03:41,076
First Brother.
16
00:03:42,553 --> 00:03:44,180
Your Majesty.
17
00:04:08,312 --> 00:04:09,677
So you are leaving.
18
00:04:11,582 --> 00:04:12,913
Are you afraid?
19
00:04:13,851 --> 00:04:15,011
You are my mother,
Your Majesty.
20
00:04:17,922 --> 00:04:19,355
we have been intimate for three years.
21
00:04:19,557 --> 00:04:21,388
You, of all people should know who I am.
22
00:04:22,493 --> 00:04:24,825
I am first and foremost my father's son.
23
00:04:34,005 --> 00:04:35,165
Mother!
24
00:04:35,373 --> 00:04:36,601
I am not your mother!
25
00:04:41,712 --> 00:04:43,873
Many things can be changed.
26
00:04:45,016 --> 00:04:47,007
In fact, nothing can be changed.
27
00:04:50,254 --> 00:04:51,744
Still, I would like to try.
28
00:04:53,858 --> 00:04:54,950
what are you going to do?
29
00:04:55,693 --> 00:04:57,661
It is time to go and welcome the Emperor.
30
00:05:14,512 --> 00:05:16,275
The day breaks.
31
00:05:16,981 --> 00:05:18,676
The court presides.
32
00:05:19,450 --> 00:05:20,508
Peace to all.
33
00:05:21,185 --> 00:05:22,914
It is the Hour of the Tiger.
34
00:05:25,423 --> 00:05:27,220
The day breaks.
35
00:05:27,792 --> 00:05:29,623
The court presides.
36
00:05:29,927 --> 00:05:30,985
Peace to all.
37
00:05:31,963 --> 00:05:33,658
It is the Hour of the Tiger.
38
00:05:40,071 --> 00:05:41,038
Your servant kneels before the Empress.
39
00:05:41,239 --> 00:05:42,831
Your Majesty's medicine for
the hour is ready.
40
00:07:07,758 --> 00:07:08,986
By the Emperor's command...
41
00:07:09,193 --> 00:07:10,854
retire to your chambers!
42
00:07:11,062 --> 00:07:13,087
The welcome ceremony is cancelled!
43
00:07:13,798 --> 00:07:15,129
Retire to your chambers!
44
00:07:15,333 --> 00:07:17,460
The welcome ceremony is cancelled!
45
00:07:17,935 --> 00:07:19,459
The Emperor commands...
46
00:07:19,704 --> 00:07:21,069
retire to your chambers!
47
00:07:21,372 --> 00:07:23,203
The welcome ceremony is cancelled!
48
00:07:23,708 --> 00:07:25,232
Retire to your chambers!
49
00:07:25,443 --> 00:07:27,308
The welcome ceremony is cancelled!
50
00:07:27,912 --> 00:07:28,571
Your Majesty...
51
00:07:28,779 --> 00:07:29,677
the Emperor commands...
52
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,938
everyone is to return to their chambers.
53
00:07:31,148 --> 00:07:32,308
The welcome ceremony is cancelled.
54
00:07:34,218 --> 00:07:34,877
where is His Majesty?
55
00:07:35,086 --> 00:07:37,111
The Emperor has diverted his retinue
to the Official Inn.
56
00:07:37,655 --> 00:07:38,485
Your Majesty...
57
00:07:38,723 --> 00:07:41,419
the Emperor requests the presence
of the Empress and the two princes...
58
00:07:41,626 --> 00:07:44,094
on the chrysanthemum Terrace
tomorrow morning.
59
00:07:54,005 --> 00:07:54,801
Your Highness, Prince Jai...
60
00:07:55,006 --> 00:07:56,234
the Emperor has arrived.
61
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:03,210
Your son kneels before the Emperor.
62
00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:23,223
I am honored...
63
00:08:23,434 --> 00:08:24,992
by Father's personal visit.
64
00:08:43,487 --> 00:08:44,511
come.
65
00:10:06,837 --> 00:10:07,963
Father's prowess is unequalled.
66
00:10:10,875 --> 00:10:12,866
The decision to send you
to the frontier...
67
00:10:13,677 --> 00:10:15,201
was clearly the right one.
68
00:10:15,713 --> 00:10:17,408
I came here today...
69
00:10:17,948 --> 00:10:19,745
to warn you: : :
70
00:10:20,151 --> 00:10:21,778
against your past mistakes.
71
00:10:24,288 --> 00:10:25,687
There are myriad things in
Heaven and Earth...
72
00:10:26,190 --> 00:10:27,953
but you can only have...
73
00:10:28,526 --> 00:10:30,016
what I choose to give you.
74
00:10:30,294 --> 00:10:31,318
what I do not give...
75
00:10:31,762 --> 00:10:33,252
you must never take by force.
76
00:10:34,632 --> 00:10:35,462
Father's counsel...
77
00:10:35,666 --> 00:10:37,258
is etched into my heart.
78
00:10:45,943 --> 00:10:47,342
Return to the Palace with me.
79
00:11:07,498 --> 00:11:09,295
His Highness, Prince Jai arrives!
80
00:11:10,034 --> 00:11:11,001
Jai.
81
00:11:16,473 --> 00:11:17,804
Your son kneels before the Empress.
82
00:11:22,813 --> 00:11:23,802
Mother.
83
00:11:25,683 --> 00:11:27,446
It has been over three years.
84
00:11:28,285 --> 00:11:29,252
Have you been well?
85
00:11:35,226 --> 00:11:36,523
I am very well.
86
00:11:40,764 --> 00:11:41,423
And you?
87
00:11:41,899 --> 00:11:43,332
I have missed Mother...
88
00:11:44,401 --> 00:11:45,993
every moment of every day.
89
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:49,435
Mother.
90
00:11:54,812 --> 00:11:55,801
You must have suffered.
91
00:11:56,347 --> 00:11:57,575
I am fine.
92
00:13:26,103 --> 00:13:27,934
charity seeks no recognition.
93
00:13:28,339 --> 00:13:30,398
Virtue seeks no reward.
94
00:13:30,607 --> 00:13:32,040
The harvest is abundant.
95
00:13:32,409 --> 00:13:34,070
It is the Hour of the Rabbit.
96
00:13:37,715 --> 00:13:38,682
Your Majesty...
97
00:13:40,250 --> 00:13:42,343
the Empress has been taking
her medicine...
98
00:13:42,886 --> 00:13:44,183
daily and without interruption.
99
00:13:47,291 --> 00:13:48,690
Following Your Majesty's instruction...
100
00:13:49,727 --> 00:13:52,696
the black fungus is added by my daughter,
chan, personally.
101
00:13:53,330 --> 00:13:54,695
Nobody knows about the new ingredient.
102
00:13:58,635 --> 00:14:00,193
Has it been ten days now?
103
00:14:00,504 --> 00:14:01,994
Exactly ten days.
104
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,538
Is your relationship with Father unchanged?
105
00:14:14,051 --> 00:14:16,110
why is Mother embroidering so many
chrysanthemums?
106
00:14:16,820 --> 00:14:18,082
It is the chrysanthemum Festival soon,
remember?
107
00:14:26,697 --> 00:14:27,254
Mother!
108
00:14:27,931 --> 00:14:28,829
Mother!
109
00:14:29,133 --> 00:14:30,430
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
110
00:14:30,634 --> 00:14:31,532
what is the matter?
111
00:14:31,935 --> 00:14:32,697
Your Highness...
112
00:14:32,903 --> 00:14:33,631
your servant does not know.
113
00:14:33,837 --> 00:14:34,997
It is the third time this has happened.
114
00:14:51,455 --> 00:14:52,479
Mother's illness is clearly serious.
115
00:14:53,490 --> 00:14:54,616
Have you been taking your medicine?
116
00:15:07,304 --> 00:15:08,703
Have a rest.
117
00:15:09,706 --> 00:15:10,730
Before the chrysanthemum Festival...
118
00:15:11,775 --> 00:15:13,174
I must finish all the embroidery.
119
00:15:20,517 --> 00:15:22,314
why don't you go and see your brothers?
120
00:15:25,456 --> 00:15:27,447
His Highness, Prince Jai arrives!
121
00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:30,358
Jai bows to his First Brother,
the crown Prince wan.
122
00:15:31,261 --> 00:15:33,092
Second Brother, please sit.
123
00:15:33,297 --> 00:15:34,264
Thank you.
124
00:15:34,465 --> 00:15:35,363
Second Brother.
125
00:15:35,566 --> 00:15:36,897
Yu.
126
00:15:42,172 --> 00:15:42,729
Second Brother...
127
00:15:42,940 --> 00:15:44,271
I hear Father changed his plans
and welcomed you in person.
128
00:15:44,475 --> 00:15:45,965
we all waited up half the night in vain.
129
00:15:48,545 --> 00:15:49,603
These years away from home...
130
00:15:49,847 --> 00:15:50,973
must have been hard.
131
00:15:51,748 --> 00:15:52,772
It was not too bad.
132
00:15:54,084 --> 00:15:56,143
Do you know what is wrong with Mother?
133
00:15:57,621 --> 00:15:59,054
Father says she suffers from anemia.
134
00:16:00,357 --> 00:16:01,915
She has been taking her medicine regularly.
135
00:16:07,631 --> 00:16:09,724
She seems to be obsessed with
embroidering chrysanthemums.
136
00:16:11,602 --> 00:16:13,297
They must be for the Festival.
137
00:16:39,663 --> 00:16:40,652
Dad!
138
00:16:44,535 --> 00:16:46,093
Have you been visiting with the
crown Prince again?
139
00:16:46,403 --> 00:16:47,893
why would I visit the crown Prince?
140
00:16:48,705 --> 00:16:49,763
Father knows.
141
00:16:51,208 --> 00:16:52,732
what do you know?
142
00:16:54,077 --> 00:16:55,635
Go more often!
143
00:17:13,096 --> 00:17:14,461
This is a Persian black fungus.
144
00:17:14,698 --> 00:17:15,858
Do you know its properties?
145
00:17:17,334 --> 00:17:19,199
Two grams a day, taken over
a few months...
146
00:17:19,403 --> 00:17:20,836
will cause a healthy person to lose
all their mental faculty.
147
00:17:25,609 --> 00:17:28,134
And you think you know so much.
148
00:17:29,346 --> 00:17:30,108
But the Empress...
149
00:17:30,314 --> 00:17:31,281
Don't breathe a word.
150
00:17:31,481 --> 00:17:32,812
Our entire clan will be executed!
151
00:17:49,967 --> 00:17:51,798
Law of the nation, precept of the home...
152
00:17:52,369 --> 00:17:53,859
are ancient yet unchanged.
153
00:17:54,671 --> 00:17:55,865
Serenity reigns.
154
00:17:56,406 --> 00:17:58,101
It is the Hour of the Dragon.
155
00:18:10,087 --> 00:18:11,315
Your servant kneels before the Empress.
156
00:18:11,521 --> 00:18:13,045
Your Majesty's medicine for
the hour is ready.
157
00:18:18,962 --> 00:18:20,054
So, you are chan.
158
00:18:20,464 --> 00:18:22,557
Yes, Your Majesty.
159
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:24,727
The lmperial Doctor is your father?
160
00:18:25,102 --> 00:18:26,364
Yes.
161
00:18:31,408 --> 00:18:34,172
The crown Prince seems
a little pale lately.
162
00:18:37,614 --> 00:18:39,844
Is the Empress asking her servant?
163
00:18:44,921 --> 00:18:46,650
My duty is only to prepare
Your Majesty's medicine.
164
00:18:47,658 --> 00:18:49,626
I am not acquainted with His
Highness's state of health.
165
00:18:50,794 --> 00:18:51,920
Is that so?
166
00:18:57,234 --> 00:18:58,428
You may enter.
167
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:06,399
'To the highest mountains
my brothers ascend...
168
00:20:06,603 --> 00:20:09,504
but one is missing without
berries in his hair.'
169
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,107
Prince Jai has returned.
170
00:20:12,509 --> 00:20:15,103
The family is reunited.
171
00:20:27,257 --> 00:20:28,281
Do you know why...
172
00:20:28,492 --> 00:20:29,584
every chrysanthemum Festival...
173
00:20:29,793 --> 00:20:32,023
we assemble on this high terrace
as a family?
174
00:20:35,232 --> 00:20:36,995
Father, on the ninth day of the
ninth month...
175
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,724
the sun and the moon unite.
176
00:20:38,935 --> 00:20:39,993
we call this the chrysanthemum Festival.
177
00:20:40,203 --> 00:20:41,135
It symbolizes the strength
178
00:20:41,338 --> 00:20:42,737
and harmony of the family...
179
00:20:42,939 --> 00:20:44,338
and we always celebrate on
this high terrace.
180
00:20:44,808 --> 00:20:46,207
That is a very good answer.
181
00:20:47,210 --> 00:20:50,373
The terrace is round.
The table is square.
182
00:20:50,580 --> 00:20:51,911
what do they represent?
183
00:20:52,416 --> 00:20:53,906
That Heaven is round.
The earth is square.
184
00:20:54,151 --> 00:20:55,175
The law of the Heavens...
185
00:20:55,585 --> 00:20:57,075
dictates the rule of earthly life...
186
00:20:57,521 --> 00:20:58,954
under the circle, within the square...
187
00:20:59,256 --> 00:21:00,553
everyone has his proper placement.
188
00:21:01,191 --> 00:21:02,920
This is called natural law.
189
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:05,054
Emperor, courtier, Father, Son...
190
00:21:05,862 --> 00:21:07,489
Ioyalty, filial piety,
ritual and righteousness...
191
00:21:07,864 --> 00:21:09,388
all relationships obey natural law.
192
00:21:11,134 --> 00:21:12,328
Do you have any requests?
193
00:21:12,536 --> 00:21:13,525
Your Majesty...
194
00:21:14,004 --> 00:21:15,733
I beg permission...
195
00:21:15,939 --> 00:21:17,201
to travel to Qingzhou.
196
00:21:18,341 --> 00:21:20,172
You also wish to be sent
to the frontier?
197
00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:21,841
I have never left the Palace...
198
00:21:22,078 --> 00:21:23,443
and would like to gain experience
in the outside world.
199
00:21:29,719 --> 00:21:31,186
Is there anything else?
200
00:21:32,989 --> 00:21:33,956
Father...
201
00:21:34,624 --> 00:21:35,648
I beg your permission, also.
202
00:21:35,959 --> 00:21:36,857
what is it?
203
00:21:37,127 --> 00:21:37,957
I...
204
00:21:38,495 --> 00:21:39,655
do not know if it would be
appropriate...
205
00:21:40,230 --> 00:21:41,629
Then speak when you do know.
206
00:21:46,570 --> 00:21:47,867
You did not finish the medicine...
207
00:21:48,505 --> 00:21:50,302
served at the Hour of the Dragon.
208
00:21:53,009 --> 00:21:54,840
Is there any left?
209
00:21:56,413 --> 00:21:57,141
Your Majesty...
210
00:21:57,347 --> 00:21:58,678
there is a sip or two.
211
00:21:59,049 --> 00:21:59,845
Serve it to the Empress.
212
00:22:00,050 --> 00:22:00,846
Yes.
213
00:22:01,051 --> 00:22:02,143
Your Majesty...
214
00:22:03,186 --> 00:22:04,653
your consort is not ill.
215
00:22:05,288 --> 00:22:06,812
That is your opinion.
216
00:22:11,761 --> 00:22:14,628
Medicine has to be taken
in the right measure, at the right time.
217
00:22:15,065 --> 00:22:16,555
Everything abides by its own law.
218
00:22:34,217 --> 00:22:35,241
Yu.
219
00:22:40,724 --> 00:22:42,624
Mother, please do not upset Father.
220
00:22:50,333 --> 00:22:52,358
Mother, please take the medicine.
221
00:22:57,941 --> 00:22:58,771
Remain kneeling...
222
00:22:59,376 --> 00:23:00,707
until your mother drains the cup.
223
00:23:10,654 --> 00:23:11,348
Father...
224
00:23:11,588 --> 00:23:12,452
Mother does not wish to drink.
225
00:23:12,756 --> 00:23:13,654
why not let her be?
226
00:23:13,924 --> 00:23:15,255
Medicine is governed by dosage...
227
00:23:16,393 --> 00:23:17,553
just as life is governed by natural law.
228
00:23:18,028 --> 00:23:19,325
Surely you all know this.
229
00:23:32,475 --> 00:23:33,100
Mother...
230
00:23:33,577 --> 00:23:34,976
you have been taking this medicine
for years.
231
00:23:35,178 --> 00:23:36,440
This is only a little sip...
232
00:23:37,747 --> 00:23:39,044
why be stubborn?
233
00:23:45,555 --> 00:23:46,419
You are right.
234
00:23:48,625 --> 00:23:50,354
I have been taking this medicine for years...
235
00:23:54,531 --> 00:23:55,691
why refuse now?
236
00:24:21,157 --> 00:24:22,249
Your mother is not well.
237
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:24,384
Are you not aware?
238
00:24:24,828 --> 00:24:26,159
we are, Father.
239
00:24:27,364 --> 00:24:29,025
If a person is sick, they have
to be treated.
240
00:24:30,433 --> 00:24:31,730
why is this unusual?
241
00:24:37,474 --> 00:24:39,066
what were you trying to say just now?
242
00:24:39,776 --> 00:24:40,640
Father...
243
00:24:41,277 --> 00:24:42,107
I would like...
244
00:24:42,312 --> 00:24:43,609
on the night of the chrysanthemum Festival...
245
00:24:44,014 --> 00:24:45,504
I would like to command the
lmperial Guards.
246
00:24:46,816 --> 00:24:48,613
I, too, wish to gain experience.
247
00:24:51,121 --> 00:24:52,713
Since Prince Jai has returned...
248
00:24:53,223 --> 00:24:55,316
he will assume this duty.
249
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:57,892
Jai.
250
00:24:58,528 --> 00:24:59,324
Present, Father.
251
00:24:59,529 --> 00:25:02,362
The lmperial Guards protect
our private palaces.
252
00:25:03,166 --> 00:25:04,394
On the night of the Festival...
253
00:25:04,668 --> 00:25:06,431
they will be under your sole command.
254
00:25:07,404 --> 00:25:08,462
Do you understand?
255
00:25:08,672 --> 00:25:10,435
Father's trust will not be misplaced.
256
00:25:13,009 --> 00:25:14,601
You know what to do.
257
00:25:22,352 --> 00:25:24,786
The Empress arrives.
258
00:25:33,129 --> 00:25:34,892
Your consort bows before the Emperor.
259
00:25:41,171 --> 00:25:43,071
Do you know why I asked you to come?
260
00:25:45,075 --> 00:25:46,167
Today...
261
00:25:46,843 --> 00:25:48,435
you transgressed the natural law.
262
00:25:49,245 --> 00:25:50,803
watch closely...
263
00:25:54,551 --> 00:25:56,348
I select each ingredient personally...
264
00:25:56,553 --> 00:25:58,248
with utmost care.
265
00:25:59,122 --> 00:26:01,147
This will cure your anemia.
266
00:26:02,726 --> 00:26:04,523
I thank His Majesty for his concern.
267
00:26:05,161 --> 00:26:06,526
All good medicine tastes bitter.
268
00:26:06,796 --> 00:26:08,024
You have excess bile...
269
00:26:08,231 --> 00:26:09,493
poor digestion...
270
00:26:09,833 --> 00:26:10,993
Yin and Yang are out of balance.
271
00:26:11,401 --> 00:26:12,595
That is why you are fractious...
272
00:26:13,403 --> 00:26:15,394
listless and lethargic...
273
00:26:16,272 --> 00:26:18,103
capable of nothing but cutting remarks.
274
00:26:19,342 --> 00:26:20,969
These are all symptoms of anemia.
275
00:26:21,244 --> 00:26:22,541
It has been more than ten years.
276
00:26:22,946 --> 00:26:24,038
My so-called sickness...
277
00:26:24,748 --> 00:26:26,511
is clearly not improving with
Your Majesty's treatment.
278
00:26:36,993 --> 00:26:39,723
If your father were not the King of Liang...
279
00:26:40,396 --> 00:26:44,423
I would scarcely be speaking with you...
in such polite tones.
280
00:26:44,868 --> 00:26:46,062
You had better understand...
281
00:26:46,336 --> 00:26:49,237
that as long as I am the Emperor...
and you, the Empress...
282
00:26:50,540 --> 00:26:52,633
we shall play our parts to perfection.
283
00:26:52,842 --> 00:26:53,809
The lmperial Family...
284
00:26:54,310 --> 00:26:56,278
has to set an example for
the entire country.
285
00:27:01,851 --> 00:27:02,977
For the sake of this family...
286
00:27:04,854 --> 00:27:07,721
there is much that I am prepared
to tolerate...
287
00:27:07,957 --> 00:27:08,924
because my concern...
288
00:27:09,125 --> 00:27:10,956
is to maintain law and order in the home.
289
00:27:13,296 --> 00:27:15,127
chickens roost.
290
00:27:15,765 --> 00:27:17,562
Gentlemen to rest.
291
00:27:18,234 --> 00:27:19,360
Streams run clear.
292
00:27:19,836 --> 00:27:21,394
It is the Hour of the Snake.
293
00:27:32,148 --> 00:27:33,080
Your servant kneels before the Empress.
294
00:27:33,283 --> 00:27:34,944
Your Majesty's medicine for
the hour is served.
295
00:29:00,770 --> 00:29:02,169
Thank you, Your Majesty.
296
00:29:34,804 --> 00:29:36,294
Do you know what day it is tomorrow?
297
00:29:36,973 --> 00:29:38,565
The chrysanthemum Festival...
298
00:29:38,942 --> 00:29:40,671
the day my birth mother died.
299
00:29:41,077 --> 00:29:42,442
You lost your mother when
you were small...
300
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,671
and I was away at war much of the time.
301
00:29:46,582 --> 00:29:48,174
I never took proper care of you.
302
00:29:49,285 --> 00:29:51,913
This has created a distance between us...
303
00:29:53,856 --> 00:29:57,257
but you have always been
my favorite son.
304
00:29:57,961 --> 00:29:59,588
I asked Jai to come back...
305
00:29:59,963 --> 00:30:01,260
and gave him a heavy
responsibility tonight.
306
00:30:02,799 --> 00:30:04,596
Did you wonder why?
307
00:30:05,134 --> 00:30:06,123
Father...
308
00:30:06,536 --> 00:30:07,628
is thinking of...
309
00:30:08,204 --> 00:30:10,104
making Jai the crown Prince.
310
00:30:10,506 --> 00:30:12,201
If this makes you uncomfortable...
311
00:30:13,009 --> 00:30:14,533
I shall not go ahead.
312
00:30:14,877 --> 00:30:15,969
Father need not worry.
313
00:30:16,412 --> 00:30:17,310
I am without talent...
314
00:30:17,714 --> 00:30:19,011
and do not deserve the throne.
315
00:30:19,615 --> 00:30:21,446
Twice in the past I begged Father
to appoint another heir.
316
00:30:22,518 --> 00:30:23,917
I had meant it sincerely.
317
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,020
Father's wish is my wish.
318
00:30:38,534 --> 00:30:39,364
How did you manage to sneak away?
319
00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:49,842
Did the Emperor grant you permission
to leave for Qingzhou?
320
00:31:02,625 --> 00:31:03,751
After the Festival...
321
00:31:03,993 --> 00:31:05,290
if Your Highness petitions again...
322
00:31:05,661 --> 00:31:07,959
I am sure the Emperor will say yes.
323
00:31:13,603 --> 00:31:14,831
Your Highness, please do not forget...
324
00:31:15,038 --> 00:31:16,630
to take chan with you.
325
00:31:22,178 --> 00:31:23,202
Once there...
326
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,780
we shall finally be together.
327
00:31:26,849 --> 00:31:28,146
If only I could get away...
328
00:31:29,786 --> 00:31:31,219
It will happen!
329
00:32:24,807 --> 00:32:26,798
Her Majesty the Empress arrives!
330
00:32:45,828 --> 00:32:47,056
Your Majesty.
331
00:33:00,576 --> 00:33:01,975
You can tell her to come out.
332
00:33:03,212 --> 00:33:04,110
what did Mother say?
333
00:33:05,181 --> 00:33:06,409
Tell her to come out!
334
00:33:07,717 --> 00:33:08,615
Mother...
335
00:33:13,422 --> 00:33:14,684
come out!
336
00:33:26,903 --> 00:33:27,961
what is the punishment?
337
00:33:28,171 --> 00:33:29,468
For seducing the crown Prince...
338
00:33:29,772 --> 00:33:30,864
trespassing into royal chambers...
339
00:33:31,207 --> 00:33:33,266
by law twenty lashes of the whip...
340
00:33:33,476 --> 00:33:34,841
branding of the face...
341
00:33:35,044 --> 00:33:36,602
and banishment from the Palace.
342
00:33:40,616 --> 00:33:42,379
Your Highness, what do you suggest?
343
00:33:49,358 --> 00:33:52,225
what happened here was
entirely my fault.
344
00:33:52,662 --> 00:33:54,721
For my sake, I beg Your Majesty...
345
00:33:55,364 --> 00:33:57,025
to exercise lenience.
346
00:34:01,904 --> 00:34:04,202
Mother, please spare chan.
347
00:34:15,084 --> 00:34:16,381
Fine.
348
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,919
I shall let her go this time...
349
00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:23,021
but I do this for the sake of another,
not you:
350
00:34:26,596 --> 00:34:27,927
You may rise.
351
00:34:40,343 --> 00:34:41,776
I am not trying to make things difficult
for you.
352
00:34:42,378 --> 00:34:43,436
But before the Festival...
353
00:34:44,013 --> 00:34:46,174
nothing untoward must happen
in the Palace.
354
00:35:11,507 --> 00:35:12,804
Leave me.
355
00:36:22,345 --> 00:36:23,812
I have made the discovery...
356
00:36:24,013 --> 00:36:25,037
Your Majesty requested.
357
00:36:31,954 --> 00:36:32,818
The new ingredient in your prescription...
358
00:36:33,022 --> 00:36:34,387
is a black fungus from Persia.
359
00:36:34,590 --> 00:36:35,716
Two grams a day...
360
00:36:36,125 --> 00:36:37,092
over a few months...
361
00:36:37,293 --> 00:36:38,760
will turn a healthy person
into a half-wit.
362
00:36:50,606 --> 00:36:51,868
Thank you.
363
00:36:58,547 --> 00:37:00,447
I did not do this for money.
364
00:37:00,850 --> 00:37:01,908
Then why did you?
365
00:37:02,451 --> 00:37:03,281
The Empress may think...
366
00:37:03,486 --> 00:37:04,453
that I came...
367
00:37:04,653 --> 00:37:06,086
because of the generous reward...
368
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:12,418
but I came...
369
00:37:12,728 --> 00:37:14,491
for my own reasons.
370
00:37:16,399 --> 00:37:17,559
I hate this man.
371
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,065
Only Your Majesty is in a position
to avenge me:
372
00:37:20,836 --> 00:37:22,167
I see that your face is branded.
373
00:37:22,571 --> 00:37:23,868
why were you in jail?
374
00:37:24,874 --> 00:37:25,772
Your Majesty...
375
00:37:26,175 --> 00:37:27,608
forgive my silence on this subject.
376
00:37:29,445 --> 00:37:30,742
Farewell.
377
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:25,997
Your Highness, Prince wan.
378
00:38:26,302 --> 00:38:27,735
The Empress has already retired.
379
00:39:07,076 --> 00:39:08,236
who are you?
380
00:40:15,211 --> 00:40:15,609
Father.
381
00:40:15,811 --> 00:40:16,436
Your Majesty.
382
00:40:16,645 --> 00:40:18,840
This is the wife of the lmperial Doctor.
383
00:40:19,348 --> 00:40:19,871
Father...
384
00:40:20,082 --> 00:40:22,482
this woman stole into the Palace
three days ago.
385
00:40:28,124 --> 00:40:29,557
Raise your head.
386
00:40:41,270 --> 00:40:42,760
Loosen the ties!
387
00:40:46,075 --> 00:40:47,337
Leave us!
388
00:40:52,047 --> 00:40:53,309
wan...
389
00:40:53,582 --> 00:40:56,710
you must never speak of the events
of this night.
390
00:40:56,919 --> 00:40:58,318
Remember!
391
00:41:10,566 --> 00:41:11,658
You may rise.
392
00:41:26,282 --> 00:41:27,806
It has been twenty-five years.
393
00:41:29,318 --> 00:41:30,649
I thought...
394
00:41:31,420 --> 00:41:33,183
that I would never see you again.
395
00:41:39,428 --> 00:41:41,726
And you married the lmperial Doctor!
396
00:41:48,938 --> 00:41:49,632
At the time
397
00:41:49,839 --> 00:41:51,704
you were only a lowly captain...
398
00:41:51,907 --> 00:41:53,465
plotting day and night to become Emperor.
399
00:41:53,676 --> 00:41:55,837
You flattered the King of Liang...
400
00:41:56,278 --> 00:41:58,769
into letting you marry his daughter.
401
00:41:58,981 --> 00:42:01,211
You planned meticulously to have
my entire family put in prison.
402
00:42:01,717 --> 00:42:02,775
Later...
403
00:42:03,118 --> 00:42:04,415
I alone managed to escape.
404
00:42:05,988 --> 00:42:07,546
Far from home, I almost died.
405
00:42:08,724 --> 00:42:10,555
It was the doctor who saved me.
406
00:42:10,893 --> 00:42:12,622
who then, do you think I should
have married?
407
00:42:21,670 --> 00:42:22,967
why did you come?
408
00:42:23,172 --> 00:42:24,696
I came to see my son.
409
00:42:26,642 --> 00:42:28,200
I suppose the Empress invited you.
410
00:42:28,577 --> 00:42:30,568
I have never met the Empress.
411
00:42:56,071 --> 00:42:57,470
what I owe you...
412
00:42:58,507 --> 00:43:00,270
I shall repay in full.
413
00:43:00,709 --> 00:43:03,269
The lmperial Doctor...
414
00:43:04,113 --> 00:43:05,774
has served us for many years...
415
00:43:05,981 --> 00:43:08,245
with impeccable conduct,
loyalty and honesty.
416
00:43:08,617 --> 00:43:13,714
He is promoted to Governor of Suzhou...
417
00:43:13,956 --> 00:43:15,947
also commander of chariots.
418
00:43:16,292 --> 00:43:17,657
He will depart immediately...
with his daughter, chan.
419
00:43:17,927 --> 00:43:19,360
This is the edict of His Majesty.
420
00:43:20,062 --> 00:43:21,996
we thank His Majesty for
his gracious favor.
421
00:43:29,505 --> 00:43:31,973
Your humble servant kneels
before the Emperor.
422
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,406
Before I leave...
423
00:43:40,616 --> 00:43:42,379
I beg to serve Your Majesty
one last time.
424
00:43:43,252 --> 00:43:45,083
How long have you been with me?
425
00:43:45,287 --> 00:43:46,151
Your Majesty...
426
00:43:46,655 --> 00:43:47,883
it has been fifteen years.
427
00:43:48,290 --> 00:43:50,815
If I have ever wronged you...
428
00:43:52,194 --> 00:43:53,593
please forgive me.
429
00:43:54,029 --> 00:43:55,394
Your Majesty must not speak
in this way!
430
00:43:56,365 --> 00:43:58,526
Your servant would willingly
give his life...
431
00:43:59,134 --> 00:44:00,396
Your wife...
432
00:44:02,805 --> 00:44:03,999
is she well?
433
00:44:06,675 --> 00:44:07,164
She is.
434
00:44:07,376 --> 00:44:10,368
She will accompany you to
your new post:
435
00:44:11,113 --> 00:44:12,944
Your Majesty is too considerate.
436
00:44:13,682 --> 00:44:15,274
My gratitude is without bounds.
437
00:44:16,685 --> 00:44:17,811
As for the Empress's medicine...
438
00:44:18,887 --> 00:44:20,821
I have prepared two months' supply.
439
00:44:22,191 --> 00:44:23,954
Your Majesty need only command
the pharmacist...
440
00:44:24,393 --> 00:44:25,917
to heat up each dose as necessary.
441
00:45:11,306 --> 00:45:13,035
Your consort bows before the Emperor.
442
00:45:15,611 --> 00:45:17,010
Leave us.
443
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,821
I came to pay respects to
the crown Prince's birth mother.
444
00:45:29,091 --> 00:45:30,456
Today is the anniversary of her death.
445
00:45:47,076 --> 00:45:49,510
For over twenty years this portrait
has kept Your Majesty company.
446
00:45:51,914 --> 00:45:53,176
In your heart...
447
00:45:54,583 --> 00:45:56,050
there is only one woman.
448
00:46:05,094 --> 00:46:06,425
what have you come to say?
449
00:46:08,263 --> 00:46:09,355
I hear...
450
00:46:09,698 --> 00:46:11,723
that an assassin was captured
last night...
451
00:46:12,434 --> 00:46:14,026
and the Emperor spent a long time
interrogating him.
452
00:46:16,371 --> 00:46:17,838
Is anything wrong with that?
453
00:46:19,308 --> 00:46:20,468
Of course not.
454
00:46:22,911 --> 00:46:24,606
I shall take my leave now.
455
00:46:35,290 --> 00:46:37,155
His Highness, Prince Jai arrives.
456
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:38,927
Leave us, all of you.
457
00:46:48,403 --> 00:46:49,370
Mother.
458
00:46:51,273 --> 00:46:53,400
I have been taking your father's medicine
for over ten years.
459
00:46:54,209 --> 00:46:55,233
Ten days ago...
460
00:46:55,444 --> 00:46:57,036
he suddenly changed the formula...
461
00:47:01,250 --> 00:47:04,413
and this new ingredient was added.
462
00:47:15,230 --> 00:47:16,561
Mother was taken ill yesterday.
463
00:47:17,266 --> 00:47:18,563
was it because of this?
464
00:47:25,474 --> 00:47:26,839
why is Father doing this to you?
465
00:47:29,311 --> 00:47:30,471
Jai...
466
00:47:36,785 --> 00:47:37,809
after the chrysanthemum Festival...
467
00:47:38,153 --> 00:47:39,586
I shall tell you the whole truth.
468
00:47:51,366 --> 00:47:53,334
Each day, in front of your father...
469
00:47:54,002 --> 00:47:55,993
I have to feign ignorance.
470
00:47:58,106 --> 00:47:59,334
Every two hours...
471
00:47:59,675 --> 00:48:02,473
I swallow this poison without protest.
472
00:48:05,814 --> 00:48:07,611
Nobody knows what is happening.
473
00:48:10,986 --> 00:48:13,580
I shall die exactly as your father
intends a cretin...
474
00:48:18,093 --> 00:48:20,186
but I refuse to submit without a fight.
475
00:48:27,369 --> 00:48:28,768
On the night of the Festival...
476
00:48:30,572 --> 00:48:32,164
I shall put an end to all of this.
477
00:48:36,912 --> 00:48:38,277
Do my brothers know?
478
00:48:39,414 --> 00:48:40,472
No.
479
00:48:45,187 --> 00:48:46,711
If I had not come back...
480
00:48:47,222 --> 00:48:48,553
would Mother have gone ahead?
481
00:48:49,291 --> 00:48:50,588
Yes.
482
00:48:53,328 --> 00:48:55,159
Then why did you tell me?
483
00:48:57,399 --> 00:48:58,923
Because I want you to be Emperor.
484
00:49:07,743 --> 00:49:09,176
Are you going to kill Father?
485
00:49:10,078 --> 00:49:12,046
I shall force him to abdicate...
486
00:49:13,548 --> 00:49:15,243
but it is not my intention to kill him.
487
00:49:17,586 --> 00:49:18,644
Mother...
488
00:49:18,987 --> 00:49:21,455
a son cannot stand in rebellion
against his father!
489
00:49:22,557 --> 00:49:23,455
whatever the circumstances...
490
00:49:23,659 --> 00:49:25,217
he is still my father.
491
00:49:38,740 --> 00:49:39,866
Jai...
492
00:49:42,778 --> 00:49:44,370
I know that this puts you in
an untenable position.
493
00:49:46,181 --> 00:49:47,705
You do not have to do anything
you do not want.
494
00:49:58,527 --> 00:50:00,154
Prayers in the spring...
495
00:50:00,696 --> 00:50:01,993
Tranquillity in the fall...
496
00:50:02,664 --> 00:50:03,722
The earth yields.
497
00:50:04,266 --> 00:50:05,824
It is the Hour of the Monkey.
498
00:50:24,319 --> 00:50:25,377
Mother.
499
00:51:03,525 --> 00:51:05,015
Your son will help you.
500
00:51:12,868 --> 00:51:15,359
You will never drink this poison again.
501
00:52:34,716 --> 00:52:36,809
His Highness, the crown Prince arrives!
502
00:52:37,352 --> 00:52:38,444
Mother summoned me.
503
00:52:39,221 --> 00:52:40,279
Is anything the matter?
504
00:52:47,062 --> 00:52:48,359
Please leave us.
505
00:52:55,270 --> 00:52:56,601
I have made a new robe for you...
506
00:52:56,805 --> 00:52:58,033
different from the one last year.
507
00:53:02,043 --> 00:53:03,874
I have added this chrysanthemum specially.
508
00:53:07,582 --> 00:53:09,072
what does this mean?
509
00:53:11,186 --> 00:53:12,676
It will protect you from harm.
510
00:53:13,121 --> 00:53:14,986
Protect me?
511
00:53:15,790 --> 00:53:17,951
what exactly are you plotting?
512
00:53:19,628 --> 00:53:20,720
wan...
513
00:53:21,897 --> 00:53:23,228
on the night of
the chrysanthemum Festival...
514
00:53:23,832 --> 00:53:25,197
you must wear this.
515
00:53:25,901 --> 00:53:27,027
I will not wear it.
516
00:53:28,069 --> 00:53:29,036
You must.
517
00:53:30,105 --> 00:53:31,333
I refuse!
518
00:53:34,609 --> 00:53:35,075
I refuse.
519
00:53:35,544 --> 00:53:36,875
I refuse to wear it!
520
00:53:47,856 --> 00:53:49,414
what in Heaven's name are you
trying to do?
521
00:55:35,530 --> 00:55:36,588
Your Highness!
522
00:55:50,845 --> 00:55:52,176
I received the message...
523
00:55:52,647 --> 00:55:53,978
that Your Highness was coming...
524
00:55:54,182 --> 00:55:55,342
and have been waiting up all night.
525
00:55:57,218 --> 00:55:58,207
I came here...
526
00:55:58,820 --> 00:56:00,685
to ask you something.
527
00:56:01,956 --> 00:56:03,617
why was your mother at the Palace?
528
00:56:04,259 --> 00:56:05,248
She came to see me.
529
00:56:05,627 --> 00:56:06,889
Had she visited you before?
530
00:56:07,962 --> 00:56:09,293
No. why?
531
00:56:12,133 --> 00:56:13,430
Do not keep anything from me.
532
00:56:13,668 --> 00:56:14,134
Never!
533
00:56:14,336 --> 00:56:16,429
I always tell Your Highness everything
I know.
534
00:56:19,574 --> 00:56:21,439
Do you know why the Empress keeps
embroidering chrysanthemums?
535
00:56:21,943 --> 00:56:23,808
I hear they are for the Festival.
536
00:56:24,179 --> 00:56:26,909
The eunuch in charge of weaving has made
ten thousand flowers for her.
537
00:56:29,818 --> 00:56:31,149
Ten thousand?
538
00:56:34,489 --> 00:56:36,980
Her Majesty had them all delivered
to General wu.
539
00:56:37,592 --> 00:56:38,684
Of the State Army?
540
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:39,892
Tha�s right.
541
00:56:40,929 --> 00:56:41,918
How did you know?
542
00:56:43,031 --> 00:56:44,521
I heard my father mention it.
543
00:56:45,367 --> 00:56:46,061
what else do you know?
544
00:56:46,267 --> 00:56:47,234
Nothing.
545
00:57:00,782 --> 00:57:01,680
chan.
546
00:57:02,317 --> 00:57:03,045
chan.
547
00:57:03,284 --> 00:57:04,512
My mother is coming. Please hide!
548
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:05,845
Something is about to happen
at the Palace.
549
00:57:06,054 --> 00:57:08,420
I must go back.
550
00:57:10,258 --> 00:57:11,316
Something terrible...
551
00:57:17,932 --> 00:57:19,126
Your servant kneels before
the crown Prince.
552
00:57:21,636 --> 00:57:22,796
Your Highness, may I present
my wife.
553
00:57:23,671 --> 00:57:24,433
Quick!
554
00:57:25,407 --> 00:57:26,806
Kneel down, welcome the crown Prince!
555
00:57:28,777 --> 00:57:29,937
Leave!
556
00:57:33,047 --> 00:57:34,344
I said leave!
557
00:57:34,616 --> 00:57:36,675
How can you speak to His Highness
in this way?
558
00:57:38,486 --> 00:57:39,885
Mom, this is the crown Prince!
559
00:57:40,088 --> 00:57:41,919
Leave now! Go!
560
00:57:45,827 --> 00:57:46,486
Please forgive her.
561
00:57:47,128 --> 00:57:48,186
please forgive her.
562
00:57:51,766 --> 00:57:52,528
Your Highness...
563
00:57:53,735 --> 00:57:54,759
please forgive her.
564
00:57:55,236 --> 00:57:56,328
Please forgive her.
565
00:58:04,312 --> 00:58:05,973
I was such a fool.
566
00:58:06,915 --> 00:58:08,815
I should never have let you
enter the Palace.
567
00:58:09,117 --> 00:58:11,483
His Highness's feelings for me are true.
568
00:58:11,986 --> 00:58:12,918
The two of you...
569
00:58:13,254 --> 00:58:14,414
can never be together.
570
00:58:14,722 --> 00:58:15,279
But why?
571
00:58:15,490 --> 00:58:16,718
No reason.
572
00:58:17,358 --> 00:58:19,326
You must never see him again.
573
00:58:20,762 --> 00:58:22,559
Something terrible is going to
happen tonight.
574
00:58:22,864 --> 00:58:24,593
Mom, I have to go and find him.
575
00:58:24,799 --> 00:58:25,993
You dare!
576
00:58:29,070 --> 00:58:30,298
what is going on?
577
00:58:38,313 --> 00:58:40,076
chan, go outside.
578
00:59:06,608 --> 00:59:07,802
For more than ten years...
579
00:59:10,245 --> 00:59:12,543
I have never once asked you
about your past.
580
00:59:15,350 --> 00:59:17,511
what exactly have you been
hiding from me?
581
01:00:27,455 --> 01:00:28,387
where is chan?
582
01:00:28,990 --> 01:00:29,422
On her way to the Palace!
583
01:00:29,624 --> 01:00:30,852
How can you be such a fool!
584
01:00:38,499 --> 01:00:40,364
By royal command, I am the new
Governor of Suzhou!
585
01:00:40,868 --> 01:00:41,960
who are you?
586
01:00:45,974 --> 01:00:46,770
Le�s go!
587
01:00:56,184 --> 01:00:56,843
Le�s go!
588
01:01:43,564 --> 01:01:45,122
You must be hiding something
important from me.
589
01:01:46,968 --> 01:01:48,265
Quick! Go and save our daughter!
590
01:01:51,873 --> 01:01:53,272
No!
591
01:02:59,841 --> 01:03:01,934
His Highness the crown Prince arrives.
592
01:03:17,225 --> 01:03:18,624
when will you make your move?
593
01:03:20,828 --> 01:03:21,692
So you know.
594
01:03:24,932 --> 01:03:25,796
How did you find out?
595
01:03:26,768 --> 01:03:27,666
It is not your concern.
596
01:03:27,902 --> 01:03:29,460
when do you plan to make your move?
597
01:03:39,514 --> 01:03:40,606
The night of the chrysanthemum Festival.
598
01:03:49,290 --> 01:03:50,484
what are you afraid of?
599
01:03:50,758 --> 01:03:51,690
This has nothing to do with you.
600
01:03:51,893 --> 01:03:53,793
How can it have nothing to do with me?
601
01:03:54,529 --> 01:03:55,359
I am the crown Prince.
602
01:03:55,563 --> 01:03:58,999
The entire country is going to think
I planned it all.
603
01:04:02,036 --> 01:04:03,833
So what if you did?
604
01:04:12,580 --> 01:04:14,138
You lunatic!
605
01:04:14,549 --> 01:04:16,608
You raving lunatic!
606
01:04:17,185 --> 01:04:18,243
Father is right.
607
01:04:18,553 --> 01:04:21,386
You do need to take his medicine every day
until you die!
608
01:04:21,589 --> 01:04:22,886
Get out!
609
01:04:23,257 --> 01:04:24,519
You ask me to leave, but if you proceed
with your insane plan...
610
01:04:25,793 --> 01:04:28,626
you are, in fact, asking me to die.
611
01:04:29,864 --> 01:04:33,857
All you ever wanted was for me to die.
612
01:04:36,170 --> 01:04:37,330
Yes...
613
01:04:38,573 --> 01:04:40,006
I want you to die.
614
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:13,802
wan!
615
01:05:15,042 --> 01:05:15,633
wan!
616
01:05:16,377 --> 01:05:17,002
wan!
617
01:05:17,545 --> 01:05:18,443
Help!
618
01:05:23,351 --> 01:05:25,649
Your Majesty, fortunately the wound
is not fatal.
619
01:05:25,853 --> 01:05:26,945
His Highness will recover.
620
01:06:01,422 --> 01:06:03,253
You must be hiding something else from me.
621
01:06:05,626 --> 01:06:06,820
why are you doing this?
622
01:06:09,130 --> 01:06:10,392
I have no choice.
623
01:06:13,801 --> 01:06:14,825
I beg you...
624
01:06:16,704 --> 01:06:18,035
please stop...
625
01:06:19,373 --> 01:06:20,567
for your own good.
626
01:06:22,710 --> 01:06:23,699
I know...
627
01:06:28,883 --> 01:06:30,248
but I cannot do as you say.
628
01:06:38,459 --> 01:06:39,255
wan.
629
01:06:41,696 --> 01:06:43,163
Your father is arriving any moment.
630
01:08:35,009 --> 01:08:36,374
The secret between the two of you...
631
01:08:38,112 --> 01:08:39,477
has been known to me for some time.
632
01:08:41,282 --> 01:08:42,442
Ever since...
633
01:08:44,018 --> 01:08:45,451
night after night...
634
01:08:46,587 --> 01:08:48,054
I have lain in bed with my eyes open.
635
01:08:52,326 --> 01:08:54,157
Have you ever considered how I might feel?
636
01:08:57,064 --> 01:08:58,190
I do not blame you.
637
01:08:59,500 --> 01:09:00,330
I know...
638
01:09:01,135 --> 01:09:02,796
it was she who seduced you.
639
01:09:37,938 --> 01:09:39,235
Father.
640
01:10:07,935 --> 01:10:08,993
where is your mother?
641
01:10:10,437 --> 01:10:12,098
Your Majesty, Mother is dressing.
642
01:10:12,406 --> 01:10:13,703
I shall go and see if she is ready.
643
01:10:37,698 --> 01:10:38,596
These berries...
644
01:10:39,700 --> 01:10:41,292
were your birth mother's favorite plant.
645
01:10:42,203 --> 01:10:43,295
Even after the Festival...
646
01:10:44,038 --> 01:10:45,699
she would wear them for a few days...
647
01:10:46,140 --> 01:10:47,630
to ward off evil spirits.
648
01:10:48,976 --> 01:10:49,943
Yes.
649
01:10:50,477 --> 01:10:51,910
Each year, on this day...
650
01:10:53,214 --> 01:10:54,511
you too should wear...
651
01:10:55,049 --> 01:10:58,541
a twig of berries...
to honor the memory of your birth mother.
652
01:10:58,953 --> 01:11:00,318
I shall not forget, Father.
653
01:12:07,588 --> 01:12:08,350
His Highness!
654
01:12:12,359 --> 01:12:14,350
His Highness, Prince Jai arrives!
655
01:12:22,936 --> 01:12:23,834
Mother...
656
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:27,698
what happened with wan?
657
01:12:29,677 --> 01:12:30,974
He knows everything.
658
01:12:37,785 --> 01:12:38,877
will he tell?
659
01:12:54,935 --> 01:12:56,960
The chrysanthemums are all ready.
660
01:12:58,339 --> 01:12:59,772
They deserve to bloom once.
661
01:13:03,210 --> 01:13:04,404
I understand...
662
01:13:10,984 --> 01:13:12,178
Jai.
663
01:13:31,004 --> 01:13:32,403
Go then.
664
01:15:39,500 --> 01:15:40,899
By order of the commanding Officer;
665
01:15:41,468 --> 01:15:42,958
to reward your hard work...
666
01:15:43,270 --> 01:15:44,498
a banquet has been prepared.
667
01:15:44,771 --> 01:15:45,499
while at your feast...
668
01:15:45,706 --> 01:15:48,266
your duties will be assumed
by our commanding Officer.
669
01:15:48,509 --> 01:15:50,977
Orders received. we thank our gracious Prince.
670
01:17:28,842 --> 01:17:30,036
Mom, what is going on?
671
01:17:30,243 --> 01:17:31,608
The Emperor wants to kill
our entire family.
672
01:17:31,878 --> 01:17:32,572
why?
673
01:17:33,013 --> 01:17:33,911
where is Dad?
674
01:17:46,126 --> 01:17:47,787
The Empress sent help.
675
01:17:47,995 --> 01:17:49,826
Please, this way.
676
01:18:01,074 --> 01:18:02,063
Your Majesties: V Emperor, Empress...
677
01:18:02,275 --> 01:18:04,470
the lmperial Doctor's family
beg an audience.
678
01:18:05,579 --> 01:18:06,739
Let them come.
679
01:18:15,255 --> 01:18:16,813
So it was you.
680
01:18:24,431 --> 01:18:25,796
Leave us.
681
01:18:51,425 --> 01:18:54,292
Your Majesty, I have come
to you still alive.
682
01:18:55,662 --> 01:18:57,562
It was beneath contempt...
683
01:18:57,898 --> 01:19:00,128
to attack us under the cloak of darkness.
684
01:19:00,534 --> 01:19:02,331
Once again you have managed
to deceive me.
685
01:19:03,403 --> 01:19:05,701
You coward and hypocrite...
686
01:19:10,510 --> 01:19:12,705
my daughter and I stand before you.
687
01:19:13,814 --> 01:19:15,111
Go ahead, kill us!
688
01:19:15,382 --> 01:19:16,974
You should not have worked
for the Empress.
689
01:19:18,919 --> 01:19:20,318
You brought this upon them.
690
01:19:21,354 --> 01:19:22,878
And my husband and daughter?
691
01:19:23,090 --> 01:19:24,523
They knew nothing about me!
692
01:19:25,759 --> 01:19:27,454
But they knew far too much about me.
693
01:19:30,363 --> 01:19:31,193
Father...
694
01:19:32,065 --> 01:19:32,997
who is she?
695
01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:33,666
wan!
696
01:19:33,867 --> 01:19:34,765
wan...
697
01:19:36,336 --> 01:19:37,064
I shall tell you who she is.
698
01:19:37,270 --> 01:19:38,134
Your Majesty!
699
01:19:40,107 --> 01:19:41,506
She is the woman in the portrait.
700
01:19:41,708 --> 01:19:42,697
Empress!
701
01:19:43,610 --> 01:19:45,475
Your father's first wife...
702
01:19:46,947 --> 01:19:48,005
your birth mother.
703
01:19:52,285 --> 01:19:53,252
Father...
704
01:19:55,155 --> 01:19:56,554
is this true?
705
01:20:02,395 --> 01:20:03,623
Yes...
706
01:20:07,367 --> 01:20:08,527
it is true.
707
01:20:14,341 --> 01:20:16,275
Now are you satisfied?
708
01:20:17,177 --> 01:20:18,109
Yes.
709
01:20:18,712 --> 01:20:20,111
I wanted him to know...
710
01:20:20,580 --> 01:20:22,639
what kind of a person his father is.
711
01:20:22,883 --> 01:20:25,147
Didn't you say she died
a long time ago?
712
01:20:53,180 --> 01:20:54,112
chan!
713
01:20:54,881 --> 01:20:55,973
chan!
714
01:21:00,554 --> 01:21:01,885
Mother...
715
01:21:03,623 --> 01:21:06,114
why did you have to tell us?
716
01:21:15,735 --> 01:21:16,724
chan!
717
01:21:19,739 --> 01:21:21,036
chan!
718
01:21:23,543 --> 01:21:28,207
chan!
719
01:23:25,498 --> 01:23:26,829
what else is there up your sleeve?
720
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:28,758
You will find out soon.
721
01:23:32,472 --> 01:23:33,029
Yu!
722
01:23:33,239 --> 01:23:33,898
Mother...
723
01:23:34,107 --> 01:23:35,904
this is now out of your hands!
724
01:23:37,243 --> 01:23:38,403
Your shameful incestuous affair...
725
01:23:38,611 --> 01:23:40,010
you think I do not know?
726
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:42,214
You think I am still a child?
727
01:23:42,916 --> 01:23:44,679
I know what you and Jai
have been planning.
728
01:23:46,052 --> 01:23:47,610
I am acting first!
729
01:23:49,689 --> 01:23:50,519
wan!
730
01:23:52,926 --> 01:23:53,688
wan!
731
01:23:56,296 --> 01:23:57,263
Have you gone mad?
732
01:23:57,564 --> 01:23:58,622
I am not mad!
733
01:23:59,432 --> 01:24:01,764
Abdicate immediately and
offer me the throne!
734
01:24:02,969 --> 01:24:05,460
I know you have never liked me.
735
01:24:06,473 --> 01:24:07,531
who has ever cared about me?
736
01:24:08,341 --> 01:24:10,002
who has ever thought about me?
737
01:24:11,277 --> 01:24:13,472
He is your older brother!
738
01:24:13,847 --> 01:24:15,576
And I want to kill him!
739
01:24:16,916 --> 01:24:17,905
I hate him!
740
01:24:18,418 --> 01:24:20,010
I hate you all!
741
01:25:17,477 --> 01:25:20,674
I... I... I am so sorry.
742
01:28:03,576 --> 01:28:04,770
March!
743
01:29:24,891 --> 01:29:26,153
Halt!
744
01:30:08,901 --> 01:30:09,833
March!
745
01:31:19,939 --> 01:31:20,963
Launch!
746
01:31:21,474 --> 01:31:21,940
Shields up!
747
01:31:22,141 --> 01:31:22,937
Shields up!
748
01:31:24,510 --> 01:31:26,034
Shields up!
749
01:31:37,657 --> 01:31:38,885
Forward!
750
01:31:39,158 --> 01:31:40,090
Forward!
751
01:31:57,443 --> 01:31:58,637
Attack!
752
01:32:15,127 --> 01:32:17,152
Do not harm Prince Jai!
753
01:32:18,431 --> 01:32:21,457
Do not harm Prince Jai!
754
01:32:29,075 --> 01:32:30,372
Launch!
755
01:33:23,930 --> 01:33:25,864
catch!
756
01:33:28,100 --> 01:33:28,828
Ready!
757
01:33:29,201 --> 01:33:29,929
Ready!
758
01:33:30,202 --> 01:33:31,100
Ready!
759
01:33:31,404 --> 01:33:32,268
Ready!
760
01:33:32,738 --> 01:33:33,261
Ready!
761
01:33:33,472 --> 01:33:34,268
Ready!
762
01:33:34,574 --> 01:33:35,472
Ready!
763
01:33:36,342 --> 01:33:37,900
Ready!
764
01:33:38,377 --> 01:33:39,537
Ready!
765
01:33:39,745 --> 01:33:41,406
Shoot!
766
01:34:10,209 --> 01:34:12,939
Hold the gates!
767
01:36:24,043 --> 01:36:25,510
Take him alive!
768
01:38:47,519 --> 01:38:48,611
Kneel!
769
01:38:56,629 --> 01:38:57,891
Stand up!
770
01:39:02,134 --> 01:39:04,102
You have ruined my favorite son.
771
01:39:06,739 --> 01:39:08,366
He told me everything...
772
01:39:09,508 --> 01:39:10,839
about your pitiful coup.
773
01:39:11,443 --> 01:39:12,842
I thought he would.
774
01:39:21,553 --> 01:39:23,612
You are truly insane.
775
01:40:16,575 --> 01:40:18,133
Execute!
776
01:42:44,656 --> 01:42:45,918
I had a plan.
777
01:42:47,159 --> 01:42:48,683
After the chrysanthemum Festival...
778
01:42:49,228 --> 01:42:50,627
I was going to remove wan
as crown Prince...
779
01:42:51,830 --> 01:42:53,422
and appoint you as my heir.
780
01:42:56,802 --> 01:42:57,632
I had told you before...
781
01:42:58,437 --> 01:42:59,404
what I do not give you...
782
01:43:01,173 --> 01:43:02,765
you must never take by force.
783
01:43:06,445 --> 01:43:07,639
The lmperial Flag...
784
01:43:08,247 --> 01:43:10,738
was a final warning to you.
785
01:43:12,584 --> 01:43:13,642
I always knew...
786
01:43:14,586 --> 01:43:16,520
that this was not a battle
I could have won.
787
01:43:18,023 --> 01:43:19,320
Kill me, or dismember me...
788
01:43:20,225 --> 01:43:21,385
you will do as you wish...
789
01:43:22,928 --> 01:43:24,828
but I need you to know, Father...
790
01:43:25,631 --> 01:43:26,655
that I did not rebel...
791
01:43:27,166 --> 01:43:28,565
for the sake of the crown.
792
01:43:32,771 --> 01:43:34,432
I did it for the sake of my mother.
793
01:43:44,883 --> 01:43:46,714
Heaven, earth, and man unite.
794
01:43:47,519 --> 01:43:49,350
Fortune and prosperity to all...
795
01:43:49,922 --> 01:43:50,946
Midnight...
796
01:43:51,256 --> 01:43:52,280
The Hour of the Rat.
797
01:43:52,724 --> 01:43:54,715
The chrysanthemum Festival begins.
798
01:44:22,721 --> 01:44:27,021
The phoenix spreads its wings.
799
01:44:27,226 --> 01:44:30,889
Sun and moon shine bright.
800
01:44:31,230 --> 01:44:34,927
The four seas rise.
801
01:44:35,467 --> 01:44:39,699
Frontiers push back.
802
01:44:42,241 --> 01:44:46,007
Humanity, wisdom, trust...
803
01:44:46,311 --> 01:44:49,838
Ritual, righteousness, loyalty...
804
01:44:50,315 --> 01:44:53,978
Deep virtue pervades.
805
01:44:54,386 --> 01:44:58,686
Father to son... wise kings all.
806
01:45:01,393 --> 01:45:06,558
Follow the Heavens' way.
807
01:45:06,765 --> 01:45:11,793
Peace and glory above...
808
01:45:12,271 --> 01:45:17,402
Rain down...
809
01:45:17,676 --> 01:45:23,080
On all nations below.
810
01:45:24,650 --> 01:45:25,810
Your servant kneels before the Empress.
811
01:45:26,018 --> 01:45:27,815
Your Majesty's medicine for
the hour is ready.
812
01:45:35,794 --> 01:45:36,818
what is the punishment...
813
01:45:38,630 --> 01:45:40,120
for a prince in rebellion?
814
01:45:40,999 --> 01:45:41,795
Your Majesty...
815
01:45:42,301 --> 01:45:43,063
to be torn apart by five horses.
816
01:45:45,270 --> 01:45:46,066
Jai.
817
01:45:47,639 --> 01:45:48,401
Father...
818
01:45:49,741 --> 01:45:51,504
is prepared to spare you...
819
01:45:52,811 --> 01:45:55,075
if you agree to one thing.
820
01:45:56,915 --> 01:45:58,246
From now on...
821
01:46:00,319 --> 01:46:01,286
every day...
822
01:46:02,688 --> 01:46:05,350
you shall personally serve
your mother's medicine.
823
01:47:05,083 --> 01:47:06,015
Mother...
824
01:47:07,252 --> 01:47:08,651
your son has failed you.
825
01:47:10,021 --> 01:47:11,852
Please forgive me.
826
01:49:32,864 --> 01:49:35,731
Your tears...
827
01:49:36,268 --> 01:49:39,032
glisten, laced with pain.
828
01:49:39,804 --> 01:49:43,001
The crescent moon hangs in the past...
829
01:49:43,241 --> 01:49:46,335
pale with sickness.
830
01:49:46,711 --> 01:49:49,942
cool night, too long...
831
01:49:50,181 --> 01:49:53,014
turns to frost.
832
01:49:53,552 --> 01:49:56,612
who is on the tower...
833
01:49:56,821 --> 01:50:00,086
frozen in despair?
834
01:50:00,625 --> 01:50:03,526
The rain drums lightly...
835
01:50:04,095 --> 01:50:07,258
on a crimson pane.
836
01:50:07,599 --> 01:50:10,830
My destiny is written on paper...
837
01:50:11,036 --> 01:50:14,164
fluttering in the wind.
838
01:50:14,606 --> 01:50:17,803
Distant dreams...
839
01:50:18,109 --> 01:50:20,942
rise like incense.
840
01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:24,141
Melting into night is...
841
01:50:24,382 --> 01:50:27,317
your image.
842
01:50:31,222 --> 01:50:32,655
chrysanthemums fall...
843
01:50:32,857 --> 01:50:34,290
weeping to the ground.
844
01:50:34,492 --> 01:50:38,588
Traces of your smile on
a yellowing scroll...
845
01:50:38,964 --> 01:50:44,800
your heart now empty.
846
01:50:45,003 --> 01:50:46,527
My thoughts quietly rest...
the north wind blows.
847
01:50:46,738 --> 01:50:48,296
Not yet dawn...
848
01:50:48,506 --> 01:50:52,602
your shadow clear and close.
849
01:50:52,944 --> 01:50:55,412
Only companion of my soul...
850
01:50:55,614 --> 01:51:03,385
on the lake, a couple mirrored.
851
01:51:27,912 --> 01:51:30,506
Blossoms of evening air...
852
01:51:31,583 --> 01:51:34,211
beauty undimmed...
853
01:51:34,819 --> 01:51:37,982
scatter everywhere.
854
01:51:38,223 --> 01:51:41,283
A fate hard to swallow.
855
01:51:41,793 --> 01:51:44,956
Sadness, do not cross the river...
856
01:51:45,163 --> 01:51:48,223
your autumn heart will sink.
857
01:51:48,667 --> 01:51:51,761
Drowning in longing...
858
01:51:51,970 --> 01:51:55,303
you will not reach the other shore.
859
01:51:55,774 --> 01:51:58,766
whose hills and rivers...
860
01:51:59,310 --> 01:52:02,404
echo with the clamor of hooves?
861
01:52:02,781 --> 01:52:05,841
My armor is shredded...
862
01:52:06,051 --> 01:52:09,418
by the dividing hour.
863
01:52:09,754 --> 01:52:12,723
The sky slowly brightens.
864
01:52:13,224 --> 01:52:16,193
Your sighs, silk soft...
865
01:52:17,128 --> 01:52:19,221
weave a night of sorrow.
866
01:52:19,431 --> 01:52:22,059
So fragile, so spare.
867
01:52:26,471 --> 01:52:27,665
chrysanthemums fall...
868
01:52:27,872 --> 01:52:29,464
weeping to the ground.
869
01:52:29,674 --> 01:52:33,610
Traces of your smile on
a yellowing scroll...
870
01:52:34,079 --> 01:52:36,274
your heart now empty.
871
01:52:36,481 --> 01:52:39,917
My thoughts quietly rest...
872
01:52:40,118 --> 01:52:41,642
the north wind blows.
873
01:52:41,853 --> 01:52:43,377
Almost dawn...
874
01:52:43,588 --> 01:52:47,684
your shadow, clear and close.
875
01:52:47,992 --> 01:52:50,483
Only companion of my soul...
876
01:52:50,695 --> 01:52:57,032
on the lake, a couple reflected.
877
01:52:57,736 --> 01:52:59,135
chrysanthemums sigh...
878
01:52:59,337 --> 01:53:00,770
in the cool night air.
879
01:53:00,972 --> 01:53:05,102
Traces of your smile in
yellowing despair...
880
01:53:05,510 --> 01:53:07,808
your heart now empty.
881
01:53:08,046 --> 01:53:11,277
My thoughts quietly rest...
882
01:53:11,483 --> 01:53:12,973
the north wind blows.
883
01:53:13,184 --> 01:53:20,454
Almost dawn...
your shadow, so close.
884
01:53:21,326 --> 01:53:23,521
The only companion of my soul...
885
01:53:23,728 --> 01:53:30,292
on the lake, the two of us...
