00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,920
THREE DAYS LATER

3
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,920
YONG'AN GATE

4
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,160
JINGQUE HOUSE

5
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,160
How many people today.

6
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,520
It's quite a show.

7
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,440
And even.

8
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,880
Changyu,

9
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,639
can't stay away
of the Marquis for a single day.

10
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,320
Did you have to join the crowd?

11
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:14,400
When I came to the capital, he was there.

12
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:16,400
Now that you return in triumph,

13
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,680
Of course I'm here.

14
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,080
<i>Song Yan</i>
<i>from the Office of the Ministry of Rites</i>

15
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,360
<i>received orders</i>
<i>to supervise ritual instruction.</i>

16
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,320
<i>But he proved incompetent</i>

17
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,080
<i>and failed in his duties.</i>

18
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,360
<i>He was removed from his post,</i>

19
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,080
<i>sent to his homeland</i>
<i>and barred from future service.</i>

20
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,840
- Finally.
- Look there!

21
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:39,080
He has arrived!

22
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,360
YONG'AN GATE

23
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,080
It's him! Changyu, look!

24
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,560
There he is!

25
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,040
Marquis of Wu'an!

26
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,760
MARQUIS OF WU'AN

27
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,160
Won't you come?

28
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,720
What do you have to see? I am fine.

29
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,920
- Marquis of Wu'an!
- Marquis of Wu'an!

30
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,920
Look here, Marquis!

31
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,920
- Marquis of Wu'an!
- Marquis of Wu'an!

32
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,800
- Look here!
- Marquis of Wu'an!

33
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,560
Marquis of Wu'an!

34
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,400
Look here, Marquis!

35
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,000
XIE

36
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,480
Stop.

37
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:43,680
Look here!

38
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:45,320
Changyu,

39
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,320
Why don't you play something too?

40
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:49,440
I didn't bring anything.

41
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,600
Just play something!

42
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,280
Does anyone have a scarf?

43
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,600
- Does anyone have a scarf?
- Does anyone have it?

44
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,400
What's the fun in that?

45
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,520
Let's go. I'll show you how it's done.

46
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,400
Watch me knock him out.

47
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,280
What are you doing?

48
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,240
- I...
- You what?

49
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,560
GUO'S TAVERN

50
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,200
Marquis of Wu'an!

51
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:19,320
Marquis of Wu'an!

52
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,720
Marquis of Wu'an!

53
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,560
Whose tape was that?

54
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,760
Does the Marquis already like someone?

55
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,200
Many threw handkerchiefs across the road,

56
00:06:09,280 --> 00:06:10,520
but he paid no attention.

57
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,160
Which family would that young woman be from?

58
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,880
Isn't that General Adornada de Flores?

59
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,280
It's really General Fan.

60
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,640
Look!

61
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:23,760
Here!

62
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:24,880
Here!

63
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,800
General Fan is so formidable
as any man.

64
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,840
No wonder the Marquis favors her.

65
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,880
- What's more about that?
- The Marquis

66
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,880
- it's from war, not from romances.
- Exactly.

67
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,520
That butcher is not worthy of him.

68
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,520
It's not worthy!

69
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,640
The general fought countless battles,

70
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,520
captured Prince Changxin
and gained merit.

71
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,720
Wouldn't stoop to getting married
with the Marquis.

72
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,400
Stop bragging.

73
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,520
- Exactly.
- Stop bragging.

74
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,360
The Marquis is a hero.

75
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,680
Wouldn't lower yourself
for a pig killer.

76
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,200
Yeah, she's a pig killer.

77
00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:59,600
- Is it something to be proud of?
- See her achievements.

78
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,240
She wouldn't marry that brute.

79
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,960
- He's not a brute!
- Shut up!

80
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,520
Stop arguing.

81
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,240
We just want to see romance
between a hero and a beauty.

82
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,760
Can you stop screaming?

83
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,040
Exactly.

84
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,920
- Look at this.
- Exactly.

85
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,840
- Marquis of Wu'an!
- Look at me!

86
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Look here!

87
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,240
XIE

88
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,120
- Marquis of Wu'an!
- Marquis of Wu'an!

89
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,880
Marquis of Wu'an!

90
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,200
Marquis of Wu'an!

91
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,960
TAVERN

92
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,880
Heaven is unfair.

93
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,160
XIE FAMILY MAUSOLEUM

94
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,480
HONOR ANCESTORS, UNITE THE CLAN

95
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,360
When a man grows old,

96
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,160
memory starts to fail.

97
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:11,720
Today,

98
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,120
I even forgot to bring
your favorite osmanthus cakes.

99
00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:35,400
You come here every year on this day.

100
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,160
What it was? My parents are

101
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,480
too calm where they are,

102
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,360
so that he comes every year to anger them?

103
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,480
You have been hiding for several days.

104
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Finally it shows.

105
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Today is the anniversary of your mother's death.

106
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,960
Let the fighting and killing
wait for another day.

107
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:14,440
It doesn't matter if the matter is serious,

108
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,560
you can wait until we pay
tribute to his parents.

109
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,840
Come.

110
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,120
HONOR ANCESTORS, UNITE THE CLAN

111
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,360
SPIRITUAL TABLET OF LORD XIE LINSHAN
SPIRITUAL TABLET OF HIS WIFE, LADY WAN

112
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,800
Chancellor, dismissed the guards.

113
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,000
Not afraid

114
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,240
that I cover a blood debt?

115
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,880
Your mother is watching us here.

116
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,920
Why would I put it
in a difficult situation here

117
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,080
and disturb her peace?

118
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,200
After all these years,

119
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,480
finally learned
to show affection for his sister.

120
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:04,800
17 years ago,

121
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,920
when ordering the return of troops
and return to the capital,

122
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,000
came to think

123
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,560
that this reckless decision

124
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,440
Would it cost my parents their lives?

125
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,600
I'll say it again.

126
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,080
17 years ago,

127
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,280
I returned to the capital under imperial order
to suppress a rebellion.

128
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,480
And even?

129
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,960
Dare to make a bitter oath

130
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,160
before their boards?

131
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,800
Very good. Since we've come this far,

132
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,280
allow me

133
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,000
talk frankly with you.

134
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,360
I created it

135
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,320
for a single reason. To make you
the future of the Xie and Wei families.

136
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,720
To bring honor to both houses

137
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:05,000
and guard the peace of Dayin.

138
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,760
That's why

139
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,640
I dedicated all my efforts.

140
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,040
Create me?

141
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,240
merely forged
a blade suitable for your hand.

142
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,560
I would never have imagined

143
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,360
that this blade

144
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,320
one day it would turn against you.

145
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,760
And you…

146
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,400
is the one who dishonored our house

147
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,360
and plunged the kingdom into chaos.

148
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,920
Bewitched by his enemy's daughter,
forget loyalty and filial duty.

149
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,280
And dare to speak to me
about loyalty to family and country?

150
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,280
Today, in front of your parents,

151
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,680
will cut all ties with Fan Changyu…

152
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,960
What right do you have?

153
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,240
to say these things to me?

154
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,040
I raised it for 17 years.

155
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,040
Isn't that enough?

156
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,680
Recognize this

157
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:01,920
or not?

158
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,760
I recognize.

159
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,280
Like your uncle,

160
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,400
standing in the place of his father and mother,

161
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:17,480
today,

162
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,960
I will punish you by clan law.

163
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,440
Tell him

164
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,160
the sentence.

165
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,400
By clan rules,

166
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,720
disloyalty and filial disrespect
they ask for 108 lashes.

167
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:31,800
Excellent.

168
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:34,800
I will gladly accept

169
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,040
every lash today.

170
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,240
May this pay what I owe.

171
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,680
But from today onwards,

172
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,280
never talk about raising me again

173
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,360
or in debts of gratitude.
These words disgust me.

174
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,240
Let's go!

175
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,520
Our ancestors were righteous,

176
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,560
names honored in history.

177
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,000
His teachings to his children and grandchildren

178
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,680
have always been rooted in justice.

179
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,880
BY IMPERIAL GRACE

180
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,320
HONOR ANCESTORS, UNITE THE CLAN

181
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,280
Thirty-five.

182
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,200
Thirty-six.

183
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,760
Thirty-seven.

184
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,400
Thirty-eight.

185
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,280
Thirty-nine.

186
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:07,400
Forty…

187
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,760
FAMILY PRECEPTS

188
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,480
HONOR ANCESTORS, UNITE THE CLAN

189
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,640
Ninety-nine.

190
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,160
One hundred and four.

191
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,040
One hundred and six.

192
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,000
One hundred and seven.

193
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,840
One hundred and eight.

194
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,160
Yan Zheng.

195
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:16,520
Yan Zheng.

196
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:32,560
I shouldn't have come.

197
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,200
I know I shouldn't.

198
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:37,200
And you?

199
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,320
I knew Wei Yan would be here.

200
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,080
Why come alone?

201
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,120
Why are you being punished?

202
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,360
General Fan, force entry
in the Xie family mausoleum

203
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,320
it is quite inappropriate.

204
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,240
I'm not just General Fan.

205
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,680
I'm the Marquis's wife.

206
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,160
Why not come?

207
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,080
A valid marriage
requires parental consent

208
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,600
and the word of a matchmaker.

209
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,200
Furthermore,

210
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,880
where are they
traditional engagement arrangements?

211
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:12,920
As for joining the family,

212
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,440
even the name used was false.

213
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,760
How could such a union be taken seriously?

214
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,840
I've already received 108 lashes.

215
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,880
You have no right to decide for me.

216
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,640
A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper.

217
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,640
If I recognize this,

218
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,360
then it's real.

219
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,800
- Let's go home.
- Wait.

220
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,760
Join me.

221
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:52,000
SPIRITUAL TABLET OF LORD XIE LINSHAN
SPIRITUAL TABLET OF HIS WIFE, LADY WAN

222
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,280
Father, mother, listen to your son.

223
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,840
Fan Changyu,

224
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,120
a woman from Lin'an.

225
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:12,200
She saved me...

226
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:15,800
of death.

227
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,760
When my heart grew cold,

228
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:23,960
she taught him to love again.

229
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,800
I spent more than ten years
on the battlefield.

230
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,680
All this time, I never felt alive.

231
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:33,920
Until I met her.

232
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,960
Only then did I see that life was worth living.

233
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,400
Before you, I make this promise.

234
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,240
This woman

235
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,520
She is my life partner.

236
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:19,720
I will never betray that vow.

237
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:22,400
I will be faithful until death.

238
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,520
<i>I will never betray that vow.</i>

239
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,680
<i>I will be faithful until death.</i>

240
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,280
Milord.

241
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,640
Zheng.

242
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,440
Zheng.

243
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:14,920
Zheng.

244
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:17,920
What happened to you?

245
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,360
How did you get hurt so bad?

246
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:20,680
I'm fine, aunt.

247
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,320
This is Fan Changyu,

248
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,080
my wife.

249
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:36,920
Aunt.

250
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,000
The General Adorned with Flowers.

251
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,160
I've heard about your reputation for a long time.

252
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,240
When my life was hanging by a thread,

253
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:47,760
she saved me.

254
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:51,880
We promise

255
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,200
our lives to each other.

256
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:55,920
Until death.

257
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Changyu,

258
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,080
help him get in and treat his injuries.

259
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,760
Zheng, come.

260
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,160
The night air is cold and heavy.

261
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,360
Why did you come here, my lady?

262
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,680
Milord, you forgot to bring
the osmanthus cakes you prepared.

263
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,400
So I ran to deliver them.

264
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,560
Zheng's mother loved osmanthus cakes.

265
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,000
Do you miss her,

266
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,320
so every year he brings them to her.

267
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,080
This year should be no different.

268
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:57,120
It's for you.

269
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,880
The box is beautifully crafted.

270
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,800
It certainly came from a master craftsman.

271
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,040
So I should eat more every day

272
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:17,880
to make it worth it

273
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,680
the work you did for me.

274
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:31,520
<i>The cakes are very sweet. Don't overeat.</i>

275
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,440
<i>I know.</i>

276
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,240
They match perfectly.

277
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,120
Even though Zheng's parents
have already departed this world,

278
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,680
they would certainly be satisfied.

279
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,600
- Fifteen, 20, 10!
- Fifteen, 20, 10!

280
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:17,880
- Fifteen, 20, 20!
- Fifteen, 20, 10!

281
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,320
Drink.

282
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,000
What kind of silly game
Is this from your hometown?

283
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,360
I wasted all night.

284
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:28,280
Again.

285
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:29,240
- Fifteen, 20…
- Fifteen, 20…

286
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,520
- …twenty!
- …ten!

287
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,200
- Fifteen, 20, 10!
- Fifteen, 20, 10!

288
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,080
Drink.

289
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,000
Let's go.

290
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:38,880
Teacher.

291
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,920
What is it? Speak.

292
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,240
There are no strangers here.

293
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,840
A letter arrived.

294
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,720
Did you know that Xie Zheng
I would never give up searching for the truth.

295
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,000
All the talk
about uncle and nephew was nonsense.

296
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,400
It seems the time has come.

297
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,120
Come with me.

298
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,960
What is it? It's too late.

299
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,800
I prepared a surprise for you.

300
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:26,040
A ceremonial cloak.

301
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,320
What do you think?

302
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,840
Have you lost your mind?

303
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,560
It's the empress's headdress!

304
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,280
Be my empress.

305
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,520
Rule the kingdom by my side.

306
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,080
Stand shoulder to shoulder with me

307
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,040
and rule the empire.

308
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:08,840
What if I were empress?

309
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,600
You just want someone by your side,

310
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,640
for when your dream falls apart,
don't be alone.

311
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,160
What is that?

312
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:21,720
Didn't like it?

313
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,680
At this moment,

314
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,640
I like it or not

315
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,880
it makes no difference.

316
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,360
Told me not to kill,

317
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:32,880
so I stopped.

318
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,760
And I promised

319
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,000
not hurt the child anymore.

320
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,720
What else should I do

321
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,720
so that you can be my empress?

322
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,880
Kneel before me.

323
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,640
Beg me.

324
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,240
Do you expect me to kneel?

325
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,720
I am the emperor of this kingdom.

326
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:24,440
What is it?

327
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,280
Don't you want it?

328
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:56,920
I beg you.

329
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,640
Be my empress.

330
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,680
I will wait for the day
in which I will become empress.

331
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,280
That day will come soon.

332
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:13,960
TIGER INSIGNIA

333
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:25,680
Stop messing around.

334
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,160
Return the Tiger Badge.

335
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,240
XIE RESIDENCE

336
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,520
Marquis.

337
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,560
Marquis.

338
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,120
Madam, what happened?

339
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,800
Take him to his room without fuss.

340
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:17,720
Yes.

341
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,960
Madam, perhaps you should rest.

342
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:31,760
I can take care of the Marquis.

343
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,200
I'll stay.

344
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,640
You can go.

345
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,160
Only come in if something urgent happens.

346
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:38,640
Yes.

347
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:55,360
Changyu.

348
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,200
After receiving 108 lashes…

349
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,800
Finally I can get married
with you right,

350
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,720
with matchmakers and all the rites.

351
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,960
So I had already decided

352
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,520
redeem yourself in this way.

353
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,920
Changyu,

354
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,680
marry me,

355
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,200
please?

356
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,720
We don't need to repeat it.

357
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,280
You are mine. It always was.

358
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:44,760
Mom…

359
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:47,720
No…

360
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:49,720
Mom…

361
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,160
Let me die.

362
00:34:25,159 --> 00:34:28,000
This will provide food and clothing.
the rest of your life.

363
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:29,719
Get this package.

364
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,920
Delivered safely to the general's house.

365
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,360
After that, leave the capital.

366
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,000
As far away as possible. Never come back.

367
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,080
Madame, won't you come with me?

368
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,080
He has eyes everywhere.

369
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:44,760
I can't run away.

370
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,480
If I leave,

371
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,400
more people will die.

372
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,159
Go now.

373
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,400
Go.

374
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:00,320
You woke up.

375
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,440
Careful.

376
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:12,720
Thank you

377
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,240
for staying all night.

378
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,320
You took so many lashes for me.

379
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,520
How could I leave you alone?

380
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,760
For years,

381
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:32,960
I thought Wei Yan despised me

382
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,080
because when I was little,
I went out to buy osmanthus cakes,

383
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,800
and that gave my mother
the opportunity to hang himself.

384
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,720
I blamed myself all these years.

385
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,600
But then, whether you resume
Jinzhou to avenge them

386
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,520
or become the Marquis of Wu'an,

387
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,160
I only dreamed

388
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,960
with the nauseating smell of osmanthus

389
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,960
and the hem of my mother's dress
hanging from the beam.

390
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,880
I'm still the crying child.

391
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,840
I never changed.

392
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:21,480
But now you have me.

393
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:24,680
I will protect you.

394
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:32,840
You know,

395
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,040
when you left Lin'an
covered in injuries

396
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,160
just to find me,

397
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,720
I thought:

398
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,880
What is revenge?

399
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:43,960
Forget.

400
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,120
I couldn't bear to see you cry.

401
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:50,880
But then,

402
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,520
I remembered that I am a Xie.

403
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,520
My father was Xie Linshan.

404
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,600
I can't even remember what he looked like.

405
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:04,760
But I still remember his body

406
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:07,880
open and chest

407
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,800
poorly sewn with needle and thread.

408
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,520
And I remember the 67 arrow marks

409
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,360
all over his body.

410
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:18,440
Yan Zheng.

411
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,120
I never blamed you.

412
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,400
Wei Yan is your uncle.

413
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,600
He raised it for 17 years.

414
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,800
Now the debt is paid.

415
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:32,480
It's revenge time.

416
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,040
Don't punish yourself

417
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,320
for someone else's sins.

418
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,320
Very good.

419
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:55,680
The time has come.

420
00:38:56,720 --> 00:38:58,360
At the banquet in three days,

421
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,760
I will enter the palace

422
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,840
with the servant as a witness.

423
00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:04,640
I will help you.

424
00:39:08,720 --> 00:39:09,760
Between.

425
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,840
Marquis. Madam.

426
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,880
The hawk brought
a palace chess manual.

427
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:18,480
Mr. Gongsun deciphered it.

428
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:19,960
And he sent it, Marquis.

429
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,120
What it was?

430
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,680
Wei Yan had an affair
with an imperial consort.

431
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,120
LEARNING AND INTEGRITY

432
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,000
<i>This woman</i>

433
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:52,560
<i>she is my life companion.</i>

434
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,000
<i>I will never betray that vow.</i>

435
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,880
<i>I will be faithful until death.</i>

436
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,040
<i>My dear Yan,</i>

437
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,520
<i>your letter brightened my day.</i>

438
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,440
<i>Since we separated,</i>
<i>the longing only increases.</i>

439
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,120
<i>Every time I do my hair,</i>
<i>use your favorite hairpin.</i>

440
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,040
<i>The garden blooms, full of butterflies,</i>
<i>but there is no one to see.</i>

441
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:17,920
<i>The elders of my family</i>
<i>approved the marriage.</i>

442
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,880
<i>The auspicious signs have gathered.</i>
<i>And families rejoice.</i>

443
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,160
<i>Wedding rites and gifts</i>
<i>they are ready.</i>

444
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:25,080
IMPERIAL CONSORT QI RONGYIN

445
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:27,120
<i>Everything is ready now,</i>

446
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,160
<i>except you.</i>

447
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,000
<i>I will never betray that vow.</i>

448
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:33,920
<i>I will be faithful until death.</i>

449
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:46,680
<i>For my Yan.</i>

450
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,360
<i>As you read, imagine me with you.</i>

451
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,200
<i>An imperial decree arrived suddenly.</i>

452
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,320
<i>I was summoned to the palace.</i>

453
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,120
<i>Thank you for the emperor's order,</i>

454
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,040
<i>I have no choice.</i>

455
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,000
<i>I still remember your letters.</i>

456
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,200
<i>The tender and persistent words</i>

457
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:06,040
<i>cling to my heart</i>

458
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,000
<i>like a whisper in the ear.</i>

459
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,520
<i>You decorated my hair with flowers.</i>

460
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:13,240
<i>The fragrance still lingers.</i>

461
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,240
<i>It seems like it happened yesterday.</i>

462
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,320
<i>The greatest sadness in this world</i>

463
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,560
<i>It's loving someone and not being able to be with them.</i>

464
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,640
<i>Now, I will be confined</i>
<i>in a golden cage,</i>

465
00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:28,120
<i>while my heart</i>
<i>wanders with the clouds.</i>

466
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,360
<i>If you see wild geese flying south</i>

467
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,800
<i>know that my letters</i>
<i>go with them to you.</i>

468
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,080
<i>Rongyin,</i>

469
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,760
<i>written in tears before leaving.</i>

470
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,480
HOUSE OF LI

471
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:16,520
Grandmother.

472
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:18,800
Guards.

473
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,840
Take my dear brother into custody.

474
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:26,960
What is happening?

475
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,160
After the banquet,

476
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,480
you will understand.

477
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,360
You were pretending to be sick.

478
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,680
Wenkan,

479
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:48,000
Do you know where you went wrong?

480
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,760
Those who achieve great things
must act decisively

481
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,360
and never let yourself be influenced by emotion.

482
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,040
With this temperament,

483
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,160
It was never made for great ambitions.

484
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,760
I act for the country.

485
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,640
You, sir, out of selfishness.

486
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:06,200
I can never be like you,
moving forward,

487
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:07,960
no matter the cost.

488
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,600
Foolish child.

489
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,560
All these years
of loyalty from our family.

490
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:13,840
What do we gain from this?

491
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,400
What did this bring us?

492
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,160
Now that we've come this far,
there is no turning back.

493
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,560
Qi Min must take the throne.

494
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,880
Even if he is not benevolent,

495
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:28,400
There's no going back now that we've started.

496
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,560
Wenkan,

497
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,880
our clan has thousands of members
in nine branches.

498
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,080
If you are still unable to distinguish

499
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,080
friend and foe, strangers and relatives,
will bring ruin to the whole family

500
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,760
and will shake the very foundations of Dayin.

501
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,320
Since always, the winner is king
and the loser is a criminal.

502
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,880
Just for personal interests
is that people risk their lives for the country.

503
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:55,560
Did you read

504
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:56,600
many books.

505
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,120
They made him naive.

506
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,040
