bear witness.

42
00:01:48,350 --> 00:01:49,760
This blood letter is for justice,

43
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,350
waiting for an execution.

44
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:13,630
Lord Wei,

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:14,840
how did it go?

46
00:02:14,850 --> 00:02:15,880
The situation escalated.

47
00:02:16,190 --> 00:02:18,880
His Majesty had the Bureau
question the suspect,

48
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,320
summoning Song Qing and Chu Caiwei
to the Palace.

49
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,160
With three ministries hearing this case,

50
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:24,950
the result will come out soon.

51
00:02:25,180 --> 00:02:26,500
Did the ministers have objections?

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,720
With Zhang Feng gone,
we need a new Minister of War.

53
00:02:29,790 --> 00:02:30,630
They all

54
00:02:30,670 --> 00:02:32,040
had their candidates.

55
00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:34,670
Princess Pingyang's elopement

56
00:02:34,670 --> 00:02:36,320
could impair the imperial image.

57
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,190
His Majesty hesitated,

58
00:02:38,350 --> 00:02:40,390
but Princess Lin'an's blood letter

59
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,760
shut the ministers up.

60
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:44,030
His Majesty

61
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,280
had to allow it.

62
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,790
How's

63
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,400
Princess Lin'an?

64
00:02:49,790 --> 00:02:53,040
She's loyal and persistent.

65
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,390
She knelt before the hall

66
00:02:57,790 --> 00:02:59,440
and refused to leave

67
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,390
even when His Majesty ordered her to go.

68
00:03:07,510 --> 00:03:08,470
Why did she

69
00:03:08,630 --> 00:03:10,400
muddle things up in court all of a sudden?

70
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,420
Why involve the Guardians,

71
00:03:11,420 --> 00:03:12,670
raising His Majesty's suspicion?

72
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,880
She and Pingyang were always close.

73
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,840
She was worried
about Pingyang and her family.

74
00:03:17,470 --> 00:03:19,470
But she made a wrong move.

75
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,720
Why did His Majesty favor her?

76
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,720
Because she was naive and simple.

77
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,320
She never interfered in state affairs.

78
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,440
But now, she got

79
00:03:26,450 --> 00:03:27,780
involved in the power struggle,

80
00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:29,910
bringing down the Minister of War
with a blood letter.

81
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:31,320
His Majesty didn't say anything,

82
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,000
but he felt offended deep down inside.

83
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,160
He never fully trusts you
and might reconsider his decision.

84
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,560
After this incident,

85
00:03:38,670 --> 00:03:41,190
you'll have to tread even more carefully.

86
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,000
Lin'an is so unruly.

87
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,120
Mother,

88
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:47,470
Father's paranoid.

89
00:03:47,470 --> 00:03:48,600
As the Crown Prince,

90
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,070
I have to learn

91
00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:51,880
to gain his trust.

92
00:03:54,070 --> 00:03:56,040
Is it worth it to lose His Majesty's favor

93
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,560
for that unchaste girl

94
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:58,600
who eloped with a man?

95
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,120
It is.

96
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,760
She is not unchaste.

97
00:04:07,510 --> 00:04:08,790
She just wanted freedom.

98
00:04:10,510 --> 00:04:11,510
Was that wrong?

99
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,320
Look at her!

100
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,680
What's that attitude?

101
00:04:19,630 --> 00:04:20,680
What's done is done.

102
00:04:20,830 --> 00:04:22,760
She might've been rash to help Pingyang,

103
00:04:22,830 --> 00:04:24,430
but that showed she was caring and loyal.

104
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,960
If you keep blaming her for me,
and such words

105
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,190
reach Father and others' ears,

106
00:04:28,190 --> 00:04:29,760
won't I look greedy for power

107
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,000
and heartless?

108
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:51,960
Pingyang,

109
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,360
are you free now?

110
00:05:01,260 --> 00:05:04,940
(Three Days Later)

111
00:05:09,830 --> 00:05:11,360
Heng Yuan, you're free to go.

112
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,520
Let's go.

113
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,120
No. 3

114
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,950
told me everything.

115
00:05:51,070 --> 00:05:52,360
What are you

116
00:05:53,070 --> 00:05:54,270
going to do next?

117
00:06:00,390 --> 00:06:01,230
By the way,

118
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,070
His Majesty has given his verdict.

119
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,330
Zhang Feng and his son

120
00:06:04,510 --> 00:06:05,560
will be executed

121
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,800
at Jieshikou

122
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:08,200
in three days.

123
00:06:24,460 --> 00:06:26,580
(Moon Resto)

124
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:34,000
Greetings, Grand Princess.

125
00:06:34,270 --> 00:06:35,190
You may rise.

126
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:36,430
Sit.

127
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,680
That case is over.

128
00:06:41,950 --> 00:06:43,270
With Zhang Feng gone,

129
00:06:43,710 --> 00:06:46,070
the Minister of War falls vacant.

130
00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:47,360
It is a key post.

131
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:50,630
The ministers will fight fiercely over it.

132
00:06:50,950 --> 00:06:52,190
They're having a meeting now.

133
00:06:52,510 --> 00:06:54,150
Let's wait for the news.

134
00:06:54,830 --> 00:06:55,670
Yes.

135
00:07:03,950 --> 00:07:04,950
Your Highness.

136
00:07:07,030 --> 00:07:07,870
Go ahead.

137
00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:10,110
During the meeting,

138
00:07:10,190 --> 00:07:11,830
the ministers nominated their men

139
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:13,680
for the Minister of War.

140
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,680
They had a heated debate.

141
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:16,360
What about Lord Wei?

142
00:07:16,630 --> 00:07:18,830
He didn't nominate anyone.

143
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:27,360
You can't think of anyone for that post?

144
00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:29,800
I'm sorry,

145
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,510
but no, Your Majesty.

146
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,920
In this case,

147
00:07:34,190 --> 00:07:35,120
Mr. Cao,

148
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,510
your candidate will be

149
00:07:37,710 --> 00:07:39,240
the new Minister of War.

150
00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:41,240
Yes, Your Majesty.

151
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:42,520
Alright.

152
00:07:42,590 --> 00:07:44,560
If that's all, you may leave.

153
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Your Majesty,

154
00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:47,120
there is something else.

155
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:49,600
Speak.

156
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,150
Copper Gong Xu Qi'an

157
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,070
made great contributions
to Princess Pingyang's case.

158
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:56,830
Please

159
00:07:57,070 --> 00:07:58,320
spare him the death penalty.

160
00:07:58,950 --> 00:08:00,150
I sent the report

161
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,030
to the Cabinet yesterday.

162
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,720
Your Majesty,

163
00:08:05,710 --> 00:08:06,590
the Sangbo Case

164
00:08:06,830 --> 00:08:08,070
hasn't been solved.

165
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,680
It might be

166
00:08:10,030 --> 00:08:11,000
too soon

167
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,320
to spare him.

168
00:08:44,030 --> 00:08:46,390
You polluted my chamber

169
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:48,910
- with such filth.
- I...

170
00:08:48,910 --> 00:08:50,390
How dare you!

171
00:08:50,390 --> 00:08:51,390
Please be appeased.

172
00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:52,630
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

173
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,560
Look.

174
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:58,430
- Look at it!
- Yes.

175
00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:59,840
- Look over there.
- Where?

176
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,080
It's everywhere!

177
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,510
You brought in so much filth!

178
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,840
Didn't I say

179
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,270
- to clean yourself before coming here?
- Yes.

180
00:09:07,270 --> 00:09:08,550
Why didn't you remember it?

181
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:09,790
I'll remember it.

182
00:09:09,790 --> 00:09:11,880
Wipe it! Wipe it clean!

183
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,840
It's dirty here.

184
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,720
I'll wipe it.

185
00:09:14,030 --> 00:09:14,870
Over there!

186
00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:16,200
Wipe it!

187
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,040
Here.

188
00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:18,130
Yes.

189
00:09:18,150 --> 00:09:19,510
Do it!

190
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:20,550
Yes, yes.

191
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,680
Your Majesty!

192
00:09:26,030 --> 00:09:27,480
Lord Wei took a step back

193
00:09:27,670 --> 00:09:29,200
probably to save your life.

194
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:32,600
I can never repay you and him

195
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,390
for your great kindness.

196
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,430
But others won't let you go easily.

197
00:09:38,550 --> 00:09:40,310
Do you mean Minister Sun?

198
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,430
I retorted upon him a few times
for the Sangbo Case

199
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,200
and broke into the Ministry of Justice.

200
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,200
He's long seen me as an eyesore.

201
00:09:47,310 --> 00:09:48,150
But don't worry.

202
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:49,720
I'm not a doormat

203
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,000
that he can walk over.

204
00:09:54,390 --> 00:09:56,030
Any news from the East Palace?

205
00:09:56,310 --> 00:09:58,670
Crown Prince didn't attend today's meeting.

206
00:10:05,150 --> 00:10:06,840
Lin'an's blood letter

207
00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:08,600
stirred up a huge storm.

208
00:10:09,030 --> 00:10:10,550
He's keeping a low profile

209
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,550
to bide his time to act.

210
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,960
I heard His Majesty was

211
00:10:18,430 --> 00:10:20,790
mad at Princess Lin'an after what she did.

212
00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:24,270
A princess interfering in state affairs

213
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,030
is the last thing he wants to see.

214
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,390
She meant to uphold justice for her cousin.

215
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,880
Who could've seen that coming?

216
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,150
She should have.

217
00:10:35,790 --> 00:10:36,670
Well,

218
00:10:37,030 --> 00:10:39,240
it's said that when people feel the saddest,

219
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:40,550
they'll bottle up their feelings,

220
00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:41,760
unable to let them out.

221
00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:43,270
I heard

222
00:10:43,510 --> 00:10:44,790
after that day,

223
00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:46,840
she didn't set foot outside her palace once.

224
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,560
She won't

225
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,150
see you today.

226
00:10:57,380 --> 00:10:58,980
(Shaoyin Palace)

227
00:10:59,000 --> 00:10:59,840
Mr. Xu,

228
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:01,270
Her Highness won't see you.

229
00:11:01,510 --> 00:11:02,350
Please leave.

230
00:11:02,550 --> 00:11:04,240
I know she's depressed,

231
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,360
but she needs to eat, or she'll collapse.

232
00:11:06,430 --> 00:11:07,390
Please give her this

233
00:11:07,470 --> 00:11:08,310
and tell her

234
00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:09,240
to eat up

235
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,270
and take care.

236
00:11:12,910 --> 00:11:14,360
Have a try.

237
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,200
Give it a go.

238
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:17,840
And bring this to her, too.

239
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:32,080
Your Highness,

240
00:11:32,390 --> 00:11:34,120
you haven't eaten anything for days.

241
00:11:34,430 --> 00:11:36,760
It'll impair your health.

242
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,760
Xu Qi'an came all the way to bring you this.

243
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,720
He said

244
00:11:43,030 --> 00:11:45,510
to eat up and take care.

245
00:11:48,260 --> 00:11:49,340
(Shop of Delicacies)

246
00:11:49,670 --> 00:11:50,720
Egg-yolk puffs?

247
00:11:51,150 --> 00:11:52,840
How did he know your favorite food?

248
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,390
He's sweet.

249
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,560
Your Highness,

250
00:11:57,630 --> 00:11:59,430
so many people care about you.

251
00:11:59,630 --> 00:12:01,390
Please have a bite.

252
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:06,910
I'll leave them here.

253
00:12:27,140 --> 00:12:28,980
(Shop of Delicacies)

254
00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:42,510
Gang,

255
00:12:43,910 --> 00:12:45,120
how has Lin'an been lately?

256
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,440
Your Highness,

257
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,910
she's the same as before,

258
00:12:48,510 --> 00:12:49,760
not eating anything.

259
00:12:51,310 --> 00:12:52,150
Your Highness,

260
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,550
I fear

261
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,000
her pent-up sorrow and depression might

262
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,150
affect her liver and spleen,

263
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,670
causing serious damage.

264
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:00,340
Instead of taking herbs or medicinal food,

265
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,390
she needs to vent her frustration

266
00:13:03,630 --> 00:13:04,880
and sorrow.

267
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,430

271
00:13:14,630 --> 00:13:15,600
(I was overjoyed.)

272
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,840
(May we have a wonderful night
like tonight every year.)

273
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:23,720
(From Pingyang.)

274
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,840
May we always be this happy.

275
00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:55,310
Sure.

How about we indulge for once?

280

Time awaits no one.

281
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,550
Why waste it?

282
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,390
Let's treat it as a dream,

where we can sing and drink freely.

284
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,960

Your Highness, that drawing...

295
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,600
Pingyang used to have it

296
00:14:56,670 --> 00:14:58,270
until it changed hands among others.

297
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,600
When my guest advisor found it,

298
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,550
I bought that drawing.

299
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:05,360
They all say

300
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,670
you and Princess Lin'an are never close,

301
00:15:08,270 --> 00:15:10,200
but you know she likes savory snacks

302
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,220
such as egg-yolk puffs
from the Shop of Delicacies.

303
00:15:12,430 --> 00:15:14,080
You even bought back this drawing

304
00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:15,910
without telling her.

305
00:15:17,510 --> 00:15:18,670
You're smart.

306
00:15:18,910 --> 00:15:19,790
What do you think?

307
00:15:21,030 --> 00:15:22,120
You two are of the same root

308
00:15:22,390 --> 00:15:23,600
growing in separate directions.

309
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:28,430
The Sangbo Case isn't over yet.

310
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,670
Take care of yourself.

311
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,510
Mother,

312
00:15:32,510 --> 00:15:36,080
I want red bean buns from the Moon Resto!

313
00:15:36,270 --> 00:15:37,720
Forget it.

314
00:15:37,910 --> 00:15:39,630
You're like a red bean bun.

315
00:15:41,510 --> 00:15:42,360
Lingyin,

316
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,240
recite the Three Character Classic.

317
00:15:44,430 --> 00:15:47,270
I've already memorized it.

318
00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:49,510
"People at birth

319
00:15:49,670 --> 00:15:51,360
are naturally good.

320
00:15:52,550 --> 00:15:53,840
Their natures are similar.

321
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,080
- I'm home!
- Their habits become different."

322
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,840
- Little one.
- Ningyan!

323
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,080
I bought you tasty yogurt.

324
00:16:02,430 --> 00:16:03,920
- Here.
- Why not give me more

325
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,360
- housekeeping money?
- You're back.

326
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,430
Thanks, Ningyan!

327
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:08,600
Where's Cijiu?

328
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,150
He's preparing

329
00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:11,550
for the Spring Exam at school.

330
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,080
Lingyue,

331
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,360
what's going on?

332
00:16:19,630 --> 00:16:20,880
Is that all? No meat?

333
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,760
There's no meat because

334
00:16:23,630 --> 00:16:25,240
we've run out of money.

335
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,760
Ningyan, Father, please.

336
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,270
Wait, hold on.

337
00:16:31,270 --> 00:16:32,600
Wait a minute.

338
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:33,760
Aunt,

339
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,480
I remember we just gave you our salaries.

340
00:16:37,270 --> 00:16:39,840
We need to buy everything for the New Year.

341
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:41,880
The money from you is

342
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,240
too little to buy anything.

343
00:16:43,390 --> 00:16:45,630
The New Year is still months away.

344
00:16:45,630 --> 00:16:47,120
What's the rush?

345
00:16:47,310 --> 00:16:49,120
I'll give you more money next month.

346
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:49,960
Alright?

347
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:51,560
You promised

348
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:54,720
me and Mother new clothes by next month.

349
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,560
What now?

350
00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:56,550
You don't remember?

351
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,000
I don't.

352
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,440
When did I say that?

353
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,070
I want money.

354
00:17:08,550 --> 00:17:10,310
- Give it to me...
- My legs hurt.

355
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:11,830
I stood all day on duty.

356
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,440
Give me your salaries!

357
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,280
Where is it?

358
00:17:17,070 --> 00:17:17,910
Fine.

359
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,590
You two can only

360
00:17:19,790 --> 00:17:21,030
eat greens in the future!

361
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,640
They're healthy.

362
00:17:24,030 --> 00:17:25,440
I love eating greens.

363
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,760
They're good, right?

364
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,720
Of course!

365
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,160
You know, Uncle,

366
00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:30,400
they're the best.

367
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,830
They're perfect for Fighters like us.

368
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,640
They can nourish and strengthen our bodies.

369
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,110
Besides, green vegetables are

370
00:17:36,110 --> 00:17:37,590
full of dietary fiber.

371
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,310
They can make us stronger.

372
00:17:39,310 --> 00:17:41,160
Yes! Greens are tasty.

373
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,310
I've never found them so delicious.

374
00:17:43,310 --> 00:17:45,110
We'll eat greens for every meal.

375
00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:46,110
Pay for the meat

376
00:17:46,110 --> 00:17:47,200
if you want to eat it.

377
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,040
Agreed?

378
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,960
It's really good!

379
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,080
Eat up.

380
00:17:51,220 --> 00:17:54,820
(Xu Residence)

381
00:17:54,830 --> 00:17:55,760
Eunuch Yang?

382
00:17:59,070 --> 00:18:00,790
Good news, Mr. Xu.

383
00:18:01,510 --> 00:18:03,550
Reward from His Majesty!

384
00:18:14,070 --> 00:18:17,200
Copper Gong Xu Qi'an of the Guardians

385
00:18:17,350 --> 00:18:19,680
solved Princess Pingyang's case

386
00:18:19,870 --> 00:18:22,590
and saved Princess Lin'an's life.

387
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,920
Here's the reward.

388
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,400
1,000 liang of gold.

389
00:18:28,110 --> 00:18:29,510
100 bolts

390
00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:31,350
of silk and satin.

391
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,200
The end.

392
00:18:35,870 --> 00:18:38,370
Thank you, Your Majesty!

393
00:18:45,030 --> 00:18:45,870
Mr. Xu,

394
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:47,760
congratulations.

395
00:18:50,110 --> 00:18:51,400
Let's go!

396
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,680
Good day, Eunuch Yang.

397
00:18:55,790 --> 00:18:57,640
Come to try our home cooking next time.

398
00:18:57,790 --> 00:18:58,630
I will.

399
00:18:59,790 --> 00:19:00,870
Thanks, guys.

400
00:19:00,870 --> 00:19:02,440
- Good day.
- Take care.

401
00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:04,590
Close the gate.

402
00:19:05,130 --> 00:19:06,700
Leave now! There's nothing else to see!

403
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,590
- Go home.
- Sorry.

404
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,960
It's real brocade!

405
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,720
(I'm rewarded)

406
00:19:22,870 --> 00:19:24,500
(but not spared the death penalty.)

407
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,680
Father, Mother,

408
00:19:30,030 --> 00:19:32,790
His Majesty rewarded those to Ningyan,

409
00:19:32,790 --> 00:19:33,920
not you two.

410
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,200
Why are you so excited?

411
00:19:44,550 --> 00:19:46,240
Ningyan, it's getting cold.

412
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,510
Have some hot tea

413
00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:48,400
to nourish your body

414
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,790
and keep you warm.

415
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,350
You don't need tea.

416
00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:58,310
You need to put on more layers

417
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,760
to keep the cold air out.

418
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,480
That's the wisest.

419
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:03,790
Sweetie,

420
00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:06,790
I made this new outfit for you.

421
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:08,550
When it's cold,

422
00:20:08,550 --> 00:20:10,640
one needs nourishment

423
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,590
more than clothes.

424
00:20:12,590 --> 00:20:14,720
I've taken good care of Ningyan

425
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,270
over the past two decades.

426
00:20:16,270 --> 00:20:18,480
He's grown from a little boy

427
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,590
to a tall, robust,

428
00:20:20,870 --> 00:20:23,590
and outstanding talent

429
00:20:23,590 --> 00:20:26,240
favored by His Majesty and princesses,

430
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,080
right?

431
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,790
Thanks for caring

432
00:20:29,030 --> 00:20:30,270
so much about me.

433
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,830
You're my dearest family.

434
00:20:34,510 --> 00:20:35,790
So?

435
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:37,160
So?

436
00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:38,110
So?

437
00:20:39,830 --> 00:20:42,160
So the reward

438
00:20:42,590 --> 00:20:43,960
isn't your concern.

439
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,000
I know what to do with it.

440
00:20:57,030 --> 00:20:58,310
Come to think of it,

441
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,400
Aunt's best at housekeeping.

442
00:21:00,830 --> 00:21:03,790
You'll make the best use

443
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,160
of the gold.

444
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,790
Ningyan has a point.

445
00:21:10,590 --> 00:21:11,760
He's right.

446
00:21:12,110 --> 00:21:15,510
We've been living here
for over 20 years, right?

447
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,160
I'm sick of it.

448
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,070
Let's buy a new house

449
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,200
in the Inner City.

450
00:21:21,310 --> 00:21:22,270
We'll move there!

451
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,350
Great!

452
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,030
Before that,

453
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,350
let's have a big meal!

454
00:21:27,470 --> 00:21:28,310
I want meat!

455
00:21:28,310 --> 00:21:29,630
I need more protein!

456
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,270
- What would you like?
- Two meat buns.

457
00:21:34,270 --> 00:21:35,110
Alright.

458
00:21:37,790 --> 00:21:39,070
One is enough.

459
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Sure, one meat bun for you.

460
00:21:44,270 --> 00:21:45,680
Make it two, please.

461
00:21:47,270 --> 00:21:48,960
Your two meat buns.

462
00:21:49,110 --> 00:21:49,950
Thanks.

463
00:21:51,150 --> 00:21:52,000
What would you like?

464
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:52,840
Let me see.

465
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:55,000
You're Xu Xinnian.

466
00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:56,920
Can't you afford a few meat buns?

467
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,590
(A House of Talents)
You know

468
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,480
since the Tax Silver Case,

469
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,920
our family has almost gone broke.

470
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,920
We've had so many troubles lately.

471
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,480
Our family probably needs

472
00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:07,990
more money to go through this month.

473
00:22:08,510 --> 00:22:10,000
It's been unsafe outside.

474
00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:11,440
I can barely make any money

475
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:12,760
by writing or drawing.

476
00:22:12,930 --> 00:22:14,210
A penny saved is a penny earned.

477
00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:16,310
But you can't focus on studying

478
00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:17,590
on an empty stomach.

479
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,440
I'll share my food with you.

480
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:20,840
No, thanks.

481
00:22:21,590 --> 00:22:23,000
"Studying can lead to success."

482
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,400
I, Xu Xinnian,

483
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,270
will succeed even if I can
only eat simple food.

484
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,310
What's wrong, Cijiu?

485
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:38,840
It's strange.

486
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,920
The Academy doesn't allow strangers in.

487
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,000
But look at those two...

488
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,480
No one is there.

489
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,350
Are you seeing things in hunger, Cijiu?

490
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,240
You need to eat.

491
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,310
Have this sausage.

492
00:22:49,310 --> 00:22:50,150
No, thanks.

493
00:22:51,550 --> 00:22:52,790
They were there just now.

494
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,830
It's empty.

495
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,200
He's Xu Qi'an's brother, Xu Xinnian,

496
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:04,830
or No. 3.

497
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:06,640
Luckily, you knew

498
00:23:06,790 --> 00:23:08,830
No. 3's brother, that Guardian,

499
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:10,870
so that we could find No. 3.

500
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,320
Back then,

501
00:23:12,590 --> 00:23:14,000
without No. 3's help,

502
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:15,440
I couldn't have

503
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,030
taken revenge for my junior

504
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:18,760
or

505
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,510
got out of the dungeon so quickly.

506
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,000
This isn't the right time to thank him.

507
00:23:26,070 --> 00:23:27,160
Just now, I sensed

508
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,870
a guest of Qi force lock on us.

509
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,160
It must be Zhao Shou's.

510
00:23:31,310 --> 00:23:32,150
Yes.

511
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,000
Given our identities,

512
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,720
we shouldn't have come to the Yunlu Academy.

513
00:23:36,270 --> 00:23:38,550
No. 3 might get in trouble because of us.

514
00:23:38,550 --> 00:23:39,870
Choose another day then.

515
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,030
Once he leaves here,

516
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:43,870
we can thank him

517
00:23:44,310 --> 00:23:45,440
from a distance.

518
00:23:46,590 --> 00:23:47,510
You're right.

519
00:23:59,550 --> 00:24:00,390
Real gold!

520
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:01,600
It's real!

521
00:24:09,030 --> 00:24:09,920
Thank you all

522
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,920
for going here and there to help me.

523
00:24:12,550 --> 00:24:13,790
You've

524
00:24:13,790 --> 00:24:15,070
shared my woe.

525
00:24:15,310 --> 00:24:16,680
Now, it's time

526
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,530
to share my weal,

527
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,570
right?

528
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:24,600
Ningyan,

529
00:24:25,870 --> 00:24:26,720
you...

530
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:28,840
Hold on.

531
00:24:31,350 --> 00:24:32,440
Here you go, Chief.

532
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,600
For your wife.

533
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:38,870
They're too many.

534
00:24:39,070 --> 00:24:40,480
She doesn't need them all.

535
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,720
Grand the pearls
to use the powder on her face.

536
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:44,240
Take them.

537
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,590
It's over the top, really.

538
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,110
I thank you for her.

539
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,270
Thanks for speaking for me

540
00:25:03,590 --> 00:25:05,400
at yesterday's meeting.

541
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,870
Too bad,

542
00:25:09,350 --> 00:25:11,550
the Sangbo Case isn't over yet.

543
00:25:12,350 --> 00:25:15,790
His Majesty hasn't spared your death penalty.

544
00:25:17,030 --> 00:25:17,870
I know.

545
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,720
Someone is targeting me.

546
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,030
That doesn't matter.

547
00:25:24,070 --> 00:25:25,270
What matters is

548
00:25:27,590 --> 00:25:29,550
His Majesty dislikes you.

549
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,310
I'm a mere Copper Gong.

550
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,590
Why is he annoyed with me?

551
00:25:44,270 --> 00:25:45,240
Because of

552
00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:46,480
the Loong.

553
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:53,350
Calm down. It's fine.

554
00:25:53,510 --> 00:25:54,350
Don't be scared.

555
00:25:57,790 --> 00:25:59,960
The Loong is an Imperial Pet.

556
00:26:00,510 --> 00:26:02,440
It only approaches royalty.

557
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,550
During the investigation

558
00:26:05,030 --> 00:26:06,720
of the Sangbo Case, the Loong

559
00:26:07,550 --> 00:26:10,510
approached you in public.

560
00:26:11,830 --> 00:26:14,240
(Why did it approach me?)

561
00:26:14,790 --> 00:26:16,310
That's not the point.

562
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,240
The point is

563
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:20,760
how to keep you alive.

564
00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:25,590
What should I do next?

565
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,440
Please enlighten me.

566
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:30,200
You can only do one thing.

567
00:26:32,270 --> 00:26:33,200
Wait.

568
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,480
At this point,

569
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,830
all the traces have been removed.

570
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,270
When the time is over,

571
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,200
if His Majesty insists on killing you,

572
00:26:46,030 --> 00:26:46,920
I'll

573
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,720
swap you out with someone on death row.

574
00:26:50,790 --> 00:26:52,400
No one will suspect it.

575
00:27:00,310 --> 00:27:01,350
What if

576
00:27:03,270 --> 00:27:04,480
I can seize Zhou Chixiong?

577
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,310
You'll be spared.

578
00:27:16,020 --> 00:27:17,140
(Fort in Yunzhou)

579
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,240
Who's there?

580
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,400
No. 2,

581
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,640
did you catch Zhou Chixiong?

582
00:27:24,350 --> 00:27:26,000
Stop rushing me.

583
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,160
I'm on it.

584
00:27:28,140 --> 00:27:29,630
(Liuyi Fort)

585
00:27:29,630 --> 00:27:30,770
Change shifts.

586
00:27:31,100 --> 00:27:32,000
Go get drinks.

587
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:33,650
Let's go. Check around.

588
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,790
Drink, guys.

589
00:27:38,790 --> 00:27:39,630
Yes!

590
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,640
Looks like those women

591
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,310
aren't to your taste, Mr. Zhou.

592
00:27:59,350 --> 00:28:00,190
You're lucky.

593
00:28:00,270 --> 00:28:02,270
I robbed a trade caravan earlier today.

594
00:28:02,550 --> 00:28:03,720
They had

595
00:28:03,870 --> 00:28:06,400
a beautiful young woman.

596
00:28:06,510 --> 00:28:09,270
She can entertain you.

597
00:29:28,270 --> 00:29:29,110
Are you

598
00:29:29,270 --> 00:29:30,790
Zhou Chixiong?

599
00:29:34,550 --> 00:29:35,550
Yes.

600
00:30:21,350 --> 00:30:22,590
So you're Zhou Chixiong.

601
00:30:24,510 --> 00:30:25,350
And you're...

602
00:30:27,030 --> 00:30:28,160
Winged Woman?

603
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,590
Don't call me that.

604
00:30:30,590 --> 00:30:31,760
It's cheesy.

605
00:30:31,870 --> 00:30:32,710
Master,

606
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,400
I did well, didn't I?

607
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,030
You sent the message in time.

608
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,680
Are we going to kill him now?

609
00:30:41,830 --> 00:30:43,030
Spare me, please!

610
00:30:44,790 --> 00:30:45,640
I won't kill you.

611
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,480
Someone's waiting for you.

612
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,110
Have a safe trip.

613
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:58,060
(Five Days Later)

614
00:31:07,270 --> 00:31:09,030
Senior Song, is it me

615
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,270
or is he putting chicken in your censer?

616
00:31:11,270 --> 00:31:12,270
And mushrooms

617
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,830
and various spices?

618
00:31:14,270 --> 00:31:15,720
Be... be quiet.

619
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:16,830
Just keep watching.

620
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,720
Carry on.

621
00:31:52,980 --> 00:31:55,060
(Chicken Powder)

622
00:31:55,270 --> 00:31:56,790
What's that?

623
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,760
It's extracted from various ingredients.

624
00:32:01,030 --> 00:32:02,480
I call it

625
00:32:03,070 --> 00:32:03,910
chicken powder!

626
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,070
Chicken powder?

627
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,720
It's edible!

628
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,350
Noodles!

629
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:19,600
Mix them?

630
00:32:20,830 --> 00:32:21,670
Taste it.

631
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:05,840
Good.

632
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,200
So flavorful!

633
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,400
I used to think

634
00:33:10,550 --> 00:33:11,720
alchemy could only be

635
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,350
used to make tools

636
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:14,560
and utensils.

637
00:33:16,030 --> 00:33:16,920
Unexpectedly,

638
00:33:17,510 --> 00:33:19,070
it can be used to cook, too.

639
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,160
I'm enlightened!

640
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,550
I was too narrow-minded.

641
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,160
Alchemy can be widely used in life!

642
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,760
Ningyan,

643
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,310
can you teach us this technique?

644
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,270
Of course.

645
00:33:39,310 --> 00:33:41,270
I know plenty of such alchemy skills.

646
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:42,960
If you want to learn,

647
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,030
I'll teach you all of them.

648
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:45,030
But...

649
00:33:45,030 --> 00:33:46,400
Equivalent exchange. I know.

650
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:47,870
I'll do you this favor.

651
00:33:47,870 --> 00:33:49,110
Caiwei, let's go!

652
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Caiwei?

653
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:03,640
There you are.

654
00:34:04,930 --> 00:34:05,830
Here I am.

655
00:34:05,830 --> 00:34:07,720
We haven't met for days.

656
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,350
You still like turning your back to others.

657
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,350
I'm still attracted to you

658
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:14,310
even like this.

659
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:16,240
I'll help you

660
00:34:16,430 --> 00:34:18,950
with what you're going to do later.

661
00:34:20,910 --> 00:34:22,600
I've asked Senior Song to assist me.

662
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:23,440
Vanish!

663
00:34:25,940 --> 00:34:26,790
And Caiwei.

664
00:34:26,790 --> 00:34:27,630
Vanish!

665
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,640
Now,

666
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,120
only I'm left.

667
00:34:44,830 --> 00:34:45,670
There it is.

668
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:47,520
No. 3,

669
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,790
I've sent that man to you.

670
00:34:48,950 --> 00:34:50,640
If I need your help in the future,

671
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,430
don't forget to return the favor.

672
00:34:54,470 --> 00:34:55,680
Thank you!

673
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,160
Who are you?

674
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,560
Where am I?

675
00:35:17,390 --> 00:35:20,430
Riding a big bird can make a grand entrance.

676
00:35:20,950 --> 00:35:21,790
Xu Qi'an,

677
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,600
do you also think

678
00:35:23,950 --> 00:35:26,430
I need such a mount?

679
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:27,470
Senior Yang,

680
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:28,790
riding a bird is

681
00:35:28,790 --> 00:35:29,950
so not your demeanor.

682
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:32,910
What should I ride then?

683
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,350
A loong!

684
00:35:34,470 --> 00:35:35,790
It'll make you look stronger.

685
00:35:35,790 --> 00:35:36,830
You'll be

686
00:35:36,830 --> 00:35:38,600
a legend on a loong.

687
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,760
Where can I pick up a loong?

688
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,310
I need to go to the Palace.

689
00:35:46,310 --> 00:35:47,270
Take me there.

690
00:35:47,270 --> 00:35:48,560
You can ask His Majesty.

691
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:50,920
Knock it off!

692
00:35:51,430 --> 00:35:52,270
Let's go.

693
00:35:53,390 --> 00:35:55,120
That bag!

694
00:36:00,430 --> 00:36:02,040
- Got it.
- Let's go!

695
00:36:02,340 --> 00:36:04,660
(Shiqian Gate)

696
00:36:08,470 --> 00:36:09,640
Ningyan,

697
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,200
I came as soon as I got your message.

698
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,870
I waited for hours. What took you so long?

699
00:36:15,310 --> 00:36:16,240
Thanks for coming.

700
00:36:16,470 --> 00:36:18,040
Sorry to trouble you again.

701
00:36:18,870 --> 00:36:19,760
It's fine.

702
00:36:20,270 --> 00:36:21,760
I wasn't able to help you last time.

703
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,720
I hope I can do something for you now.

704
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,120
Do you remember

705
00:36:28,390 --> 00:36:30,470
you promised me a spell book?

706
00:36:32,470 --> 00:36:33,470
Of course.

707
00:36:33,910 --> 00:36:35,990
A promise is a promise.

708
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,160
Thank you, Master.

709
00:36:49,270 --> 00:36:50,520
Oh, I see.

710
00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:53,720
I have new poems at home.

711
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:56,390
You can comment on them next time.

712
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,640
Sure.

713
00:37:01,430 --> 00:37:02,390
Thank you, Master.

714
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:06,020
Keep this in mind.

715
00:37:06,020 --> 00:37:06,900
(Yunlu Spells)

716
00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:08,270
With your current rank,

717
00:37:08,270 --> 00:37:11,200
(Heart, Gaze)
you can only use simple spells.

718
00:37:11,350 --> 00:37:13,600
To cast a spell, tear out its page

719
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,560
and burn it with your Qi force.

720
00:37:16,310 --> 00:37:17,390
But remember,

721
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,990
you aren't our student.

722
00:37:19,990 --> 00:37:21,830
Don't use this method too often,

723
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,200
or it'll mess up your Qi force

724
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,990
and drain your energy.

725
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:27,520
I understand.

726
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:28,520
Thanks, Master.

727
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:29,990
Put it away now.

728
00:37:33,470 --> 00:37:34,310
What brings you here?

729
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,720
Why did she also come?

730
00:37:39,790 --> 00:37:40,830
What are you doing here?

731
00:37:40,830 --> 00:37:41,760
Where's Senior Yang?

732
00:37:41,910 --> 00:37:42,870
Well, he...

733
00:37:42,870 --> 00:37:45,270
He said if he turned his back to His Majesty,

734
00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:46,430
he'd be beheaded.

735
00:37:47,910 --> 00:37:50,270
He added that he sent us here,

736
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,640
which saved us a lot of time.

737
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:53,950
He's a mystery,

738
00:37:53,950 --> 00:37:55,390
always turning his back to others

739
00:37:55,390 --> 00:37:56,520
and saying strange things.

740
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,990
- I'm so sick of him!
- Me too.

741
00:37:57,990 --> 00:37:59,080
It's even worse lately.

742
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,200
Heaven knows which idiot

743
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,310
told him this line

744
00:38:01,310 --> 00:38:02,720
that he repeated every day.

745
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:04,600
I had to hold myself back not to kill him!

746
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,200
It wasn't me.

747
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:20,440
Let's go.

748
00:38:20,450 --> 00:38:21,830
Don't keep His Majesty waiting.

749
00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:28,560
Your Majesty,

750
00:38:28,620 --> 00:38:30,630
the deadline for the Sangbo Case
has been reached.

751
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,160
Wei Yuan accused the Ministry of Justice
of collusion,

752
00:38:34,390 --> 00:38:36,560
but he hasn't provided any proof yet.

753
00:38:36,990 --> 00:38:37,990
Your Majesty,

754
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,350
he shall be punished.

755
00:38:40,350 --> 00:38:41,470
Seconded.

756
00:38:41,470 --> 00:38:42,790
Please uphold justice

757
00:38:42,790 --> 00:38:44,240
(Li Yulang)
and punish him

758
00:38:44,240 --> 00:38:46,990
(Minister of Rites)
to clear the innocent's names.

759
00:38:50,350 --> 00:38:51,190
