Episode 42

17

That child...

18

is the child of the Emperor of Qing?

19

Yes. He's of the same age as you.

20

I was locked up for too long. I didn't know about the situation of the royal family.

21

Which Prince is he now?

22

Is he any good?

23

Jingdu is not a good place. The late Emperor died in Jingdu.

24

Your mother died in Jingdu.

25

Remain in Danzhou and you will live longer.

26

My mother died in Jingdu. Is her killer still around?

27

I don't know.

28

There's a decree from the palace ordering you to go there.

29

- I see.

- This is the truth that Chen Pingping and Fan Jian hid.

30

This is the reason they didn't want me to go to Jingdu for all these years.

31

I'm not the son of Fan Jian.

32

I'm the son of the Emperor of Qing. I'm a prince.

33

His bloodline flows in my body.

34

I'm rather tired. I'm going to rest.

35

The three of you can eat.

36

If you don't want to, don't kneel.

37

It's different here from the palace. In the palace, you are a subject. In here...

38

What's the difference?

39

You must come back alive.

40

In a short while, after all this, you suddenly know your identity.

41

It's definitely very hard to accept. It's okay.

42

As long as you know you are a Xiao.

43

I feel better now that I have poured out my secrets.

44

From now on, the responsibility is on you.

45

You shall talk less.

46

What's the difference? I am dying anyway.

47

It's so dark in here.

48

I have lived in the dark for too long.

49

The view is perfect here.

50

Don't tell Kuhe what I told you.

51

I know. Otherwise, I will be the one he is after.

52

What's your plan?

53

Staying in Qi or going back to Qing?

54

Going back.

55

Right, you have everything there.

56

Chen Pingping doesn't know what you knew.

57

You will have a great future.

58

Before you go, give Zhuang Mohan a visit,

59

tell him I am head.

60

Will do.

61

Anything else I can do?

62

I want to sit here after I die.

63

Don't burry me.

64

I don't want to be in underground anymore.

65

Sure.

66

Don't revenge. Don't mess with Chen Pingping.

67

Keep everything inside and live your life.

68

I know.

69

Can I see them after I die?

70

Who? Ye Qingmei? Your son?

71

You will.

72

Thank you, for telling me who I am.

73

I am sorry that I am not your grandson.

74

Sit tight, you won't be bothered anymore.

75

It was for the temple?

76

The temple is Xiaoen's secrete.

77

Wuzhu lost his memory.

Kuhe won't tell.

78

Xiaoen is the only way for us

79

to find the temple.

80

He wouldn't tell for years. Will he tell Fan Xian this time?

81

He will as long as he believes that

Fan Xian is his grandson.

82

That's why you told me to keep Fan Xian from Jingdu for years?

83

On one hand, it was for Fan Xian's safety.

84

On the other hand, I was waiting for the right time

85

for Xiaoen to leave the Inspection and Control Bureau

and talk to Fan Xian.

86

It must be seamless.

87

Right.

88

The war was the best timing.

89

No matter which side wins,

90

Shang Shanhu and Zhuang Mohan will ask to

exchange Xiaoen anyway.

91

That's why Fan Xian came to Jingdu.

92

That's why you were gone out of Jingdu at that time.

93

I thought I picked the time

94

to bring him here.

95

It was you who picked the time.

96

It was his Majesty.

97

He also planned the assassin?

98

Li Yunrui planned it. I just helped a little.

99

What if she actually killed him?

100

Think about this. The assassin was department 6th's job.

101

Why it was Teng Zijing from department 4th who did it?

102

One month before the assassin,

103

I had pulled out all the staff near Danzhou,

104

except for Teng Zijing.

105

He was the only one who can do this job.

106

You picked him too?

107

Everyone in the department 6th will finish this job.

108

They won't explain anything

109

no matter what Fan Xian says.

110

The only one who is chivalrous

111

are chivalrous

112

and dare to obey the order.

113

Teng Zijing was one of them.

114

His Majesty picked Teng Zijing.

115

I thought you have forgotten me.

116

What are you reading?

117

Qi's storybooks.

118

I thought I might as well get to know here

since I am staying in here.

119

You are different.

120

What do you want?

121

I have something for you to do.

122

But before that, I have a question to ask you.

123

Do you remember Teng Zijing?

124

The guard who was killed at Niulan Street?

125

He had quarrel with you.

126

A guy poured filthy water on you.

Your servant punished that guy.

127

I remember that.

128

And then you listed him as wanted in the name of homicide.

129

My butler did it. I didn't know much of it.

130

So you didn't know about that.

131

Of course not. Why would I spent time on a random surveillant?

132

You killed his whole family.

133

What?

134

You didn't make this happen?

135

Of course not. I got over about this the next day.

136

Alright. Later on, Teng Zijing was saved

by the Inspection and Control Bureau.

137

And transferred away from Jingdu.

Did you send people to harass his kid and wife?

138

What do you mean?

139

I am the son of the Minister of Rituals!

140

I am the official in the council!

141

I had a great future.

142

Why would I do that?

143

Why would I sabotage my own reputation?

144

-It wasn't you.

-Of course not!

145

It wasn't a big deal.

146

Why would I kill his family?

147

You think our family is this uneducated?

148

That's why I was taken to Jingdu at that time.

149

What?

150

It was all planned.

151

So that I could get to meet Xiaoen.

152

Xiaoen?

153

Wasn't he hand over to Qi?

154

I believe you. I believe Teng Zijing.

155

So...

156

this is all the Inspection and Control Bureau's game.

157

What are you talking about?

158

What's the relation between Xiaoen and Teng Zijing?

159

If Li Yunrui didn't plan the assassin,

160

the Inspection and Control Bureau

would have came up with something

161

to make Fan Xian get into trouble in Danzhou.

162

Everyone is in your game.

163

Everyone is your pawn.

164

It's not my game. It's his Majesty's game.

165

Even if it's for the temple,

166

it's worthy to put Fan Xian's life at risk?

167

You knew

168

how many secrets Miss had.

169

All those secrets and wild thoughts

170

all came from the temple.

171

The temple has the resource that is beyond this era.

172

Once we have the temple,

173

our country can rule the world.

174

Every risk is worthy for Qin.

175

Right. All for Qin.

176

My son can be a pawn

177

for Qin.

178

I have got nothing to say.

179

Old bastard.

180

However, I understand his affection for Fan Xian.

181

I woke up from a nightmare this morning.

182

I don't remember the dream.

183

I just woke up.

184

Your Majesty.

185

He said Fan Xian is a pawn.

186

But Fan Xian is more of my son.

187

Right.

188

You did everything for Qin. It's all worthy.

189

Fan Jian doesn't see it this way.

190

He took Fan Xian as his own son.

191

He has complained. But he will come around.

192

Don't you also take Fan Xian as your own son?

193

I do.

194

But you didn't hesitate at all,

195

when I told you to retrieve your knights

and put Fan Xian in great danger.

196

I know who I am.

197

Who are you?

198

Chen Pingping.

199

An old dog of yours.

200

Thanks to you,

201

I can still run the Inspection and Control Bureau

with my pieces.

202

I do take him as my son.

203

But the only one I am loyal to is you.

204

On your command,

205

I will even devote my own life.

206

I heard you loud and clear.

207

You are the most loyal person in the whole country.

208

I understand.

209

It's late, I shall head back.

210

Your Majesty.

211

Gongdian.

212

Follow Chen Pingping.

213

Find out who he meets and what he says.

214

Surveillance on Chie Chen?

215

You are the one I trust the most in this country.

216

I will not fail you.

217

Let's get back.

218

Fan Jian, it's not a good thing to have so many questions.

219

One thing you should know.

220

His name is still Fan. I am still his father.

221

What do you want to know?

222

Lord, thank god you are back.

223

How was it?

224

Any update on Yan Bingyun?

225

Nothing. He has been staying in his room quietly.

226

Still working on the ledger?

227

Shen Zhong is dead?

228

No. I lied.

229

The target is not Shen Zhong, is actually Shang Shanhu.

230

Why did you lie to me?

231

I wondered what are you gonnado

when you know Shen Zhong is involved.

232

You think I am teaming up with Qi?

233

Like how you suspected me,

234

I suspect if you were turned.

235

-Good.

-You are not upset?

236

Your games match up to your title.

237

I am glad that you would suspect things.

238

Our next step

239

is to find out the secret about the ledger from Shen Zhong.

240

And find out who received all the smuggled goods.

241

I can help you on this.

But I need you to help on something.

242

What?

243

I haven't decided yet. Let's start small.

244

-What?

-You know Chen Pingping well, don't you?

245

On one truly knows Chief Chen well.

246

How true could

247

Chen Pingping's lies be?

248

Don't you have something to ask?

249

It's for Qin to get the temple.

250

Qin and Fan Xian, which one is more impoartant

251

to your Majesty and you?

252

You can compare these.

253

If you must.

254

Would you choose Qin or Fan Xian?

255

Why do you bother? Fan Jian, you should have known that

256

it's my biggest goal to have the resources from the temple

257

and make Qin the greatest country.

258

So, you choose Qin.

259

Why can we choose both?

260

I am afraid we will face that decision one day.

261

I can tell you now. I choose Fan Xian. I choose my son.

262

One last thing. You have been avoiding one thing in your story.

263

Does Xiaoen's grandson truly exist?

264

-He exist.-

You didn't kill him?

265

I didn't.

266

I didn't die to Xiaoen on this matter.

267

I did make his grandson a man of Qin.

268

A warrior who resents Qi so bad.

269

Is he in the Inspection and Control Bureau?

270

Well done. Chen Pingping.

271

What's your point?

272

How many people in the Inspection and Control Bureau

is at the sam age as me?

273

Why do you want to know?

274

Relax. It's not gonna effect Qin.

275

There's a lot.

276

I am at the same age as you too.

277

The Inspection and Control Bureau

raises agents since they were young.

278

So I don't know the exact number.

279

What did you say? We are the same age?

280

Yes. What's wrong with that?

281

Have you seen your mom?

282

What kind of question is that?

283

I am curious.

284

My mom died when giving birth to me.

I never saw her.

285

Do you get along with your father?

286

My father is tough. He had others raised me since I was little.

287

He rarely saw me. But he did this for my sake.

288

What's wrong?

289

So he planned all these.

290

Teng Zijing was your man.

291

You will be the one to take responsibility

if he assassin me.

292

Why are you bring this up again?

293

So you were destined to be sent over here.

294

Why is that?

295

Teng Zijing took the fake command.

Who could see that coming?

296

Who could see that coming?

297

So he knew in the beginning that

they will exchange Xiaoen and you.

298

Even Xiaoen got to live in Qi,

299

you will be back to Qin anyway.

300

No one can escape from his game.

301

Fan Xian, what are you talking about?

302

Xiaoen said Chen Pingping is the master of mind.

303

He was true. Chen Pingping had everything in control.

304

It was the Chief who told me to stay by your side.

305

It was you who informed the Black Knights?

306

Who are you?

307

Why would Chen Pingping

command his Black Knights for you?

308

You might not believe it.

This is the first time I hear this name.

309

Chen Pingping of the Inspection and Control Bureau,

is the well-known dark evil.

310

What a chief.

311

Your games are so impressive.

312

Stay away from the Inspection and Control Bureau.

313

Don't trust Chen Pingping.

314

Who is he like?

315

He is famous for being unpredictable and cruel.

316

I find it safer inside the cage.

317

Get yourself more allies. Don't count on Chen Pingping solely.

318

He can plot.

319

I will help you in the dark.

320

You will be No.1 Minister in Qin.

321

No one can threaten your safety

322

by then.

323

Human nature?

324

You don't wear enough. You will get cold.

You have her eyes.

325

Who?

326

Ye Qinmei, your mom.

327

I will give this bureau back to you one day.

328

My goal never changes over time.

329

Let me know if anything upsets you.

330

Let me know if anyone messes with you.

331

I will take care of it all for you.

332

I will clean it up on Lin Gong.

333

I think you are pretty nice.

334

Nice? Me?

335

Emotion?

336

These are all this pawns.

337

Fan Xian, how dare you to talk about the Chief like this?

338

Chen Pingping.

339

The first time in my life I have ever feel terrified of someone.

340

Your Majesty, you weren't in the palace recently.

341

Everybody

342

was lost.

343

Your Majesty, General Gong is here.

344

Let him in.

345

-Your Majesty.

-You can leave.

346

How was it?

347

Your Majesty,

348

Chief Chen ran into Minister Fan when he was leaving.

349

What did he say?

350

He told Minister Fan that

351

he will make Qin the greatest dynasty.

352

The greatest dynasty?

353

Inspection and Control Bureau

354

You seem tired.

355

I was chatting with people.

356

Chatting?

357

Alright, I am fine. You can go.

358

Stop.

359

Your Majesty.

360

Did he really say that?

361

I remember every word of it.

362

I wouldn't dare to lie.

363

Chef Chen is the only and the most loyal person to your Majesty.

364

The only?

365

Turn around. My armor is done.

366

Anything else you want to tell me?

367

Long live the Qin!

368

Open your eyes.

369

Why didn't you dodge?

370

You didn't tell me to.

371

It takes not only me but also you guys

372

to make sure Qin lives long.

373

Get up.

374

Thank you, your Majesty.

375

He is here.

376

That's it for today. Don't wait up.

377

Stop yelling.

378

I will answer to your challenge tomorrow.

379

Come early.

380

Let's go.

381

Go, go, go.

382

Come back tomorrow.

383

Fan Xian returned alone. Xiaoen was nowhere to be found.

384

Xiaoen is dead.

385

Are you sure?

386

He was not savable.

387

Anything weird about this fight?

388

Nothing.

389

I was being skeptical then.

390

What did you mean by that?

391

Nothing.

392

What did you mean by Chief Chen's game?

393

-Where is Xiaoen?

-Dead.

394

Did he tell you the secret before he died?

395

Ye Qingmei married the King of Qin?

396

Not officially. But they were married.

397

She gave birth a child for him.

398

Do you think it's better to be

399

a Minister of a Prince?

400

What kind of question is this?

401

The princes are fighting each other.

402

I will be dead at the end no matter who wins.

403

We don't get to discuss the royal families.

404

Seems like it's safer to be a Minister.

405

You don't get to choose that.

406

Right. You cannot choose your bloodline.

407

It's all fate.

408

Did Xiaoen tell you anything?

409

Here, sit down.

410

The Head of the First Division, Zhuge,

411

joined hands with Li Yunrui and betrayed the Inspection and Control Bureau. He's dead now.

412

I heard about it.

413

The position for head of the First Division is still empty.

414

Do you want this position?

415

Not for me. For you.

416

I am too green.

417

Once you find out the truth, that'll be enough.

418

I will help you with all my resources

once we get back.

419

You are buying me off.

420

I told you I want you to help me.

421

You want to build your gang in the bureau?

422

But the greater good.

423

The Bureau's main power has always been

424

with Chen Pingping alone. That's not a good thing.

425

Mr.Yan, I thought you would do anything for Qin.

426

It's the right thing to work with me.

427

Are you insane?

428

I have never been this clear.

429

Do you think I would say yes?

430

One thing is missing though.

431

About your ambitions, after we return to the capital,

432

I will notify the Bureau Head about it.

433

My Lord. There's a woman outside who wants to see Young Master Yan.

434

I told her Young Master Yan is injured and can't see anyone,

435

but she was very stubborn.

436

She wouldn't leave even after I spent a long time trying to convince her!

437

She's still waiting outside now.

438

Did she give a name?

439

She only said she's old acquaintances with Young Master Yan.

440

She wouldn't tell me where she's from.

441

You've worked hard, Old Gao. Go rest.

442

Yes.

443

Looking at your expression, you don't intend to see her?

444

Please stay there, Miss.

445

Are you doing well?

446

Your injuries are not light. I could go inside to see you.

447

You didn't need to come outside!

448

That's right! These are all medicine to replenish your blood and treat your injuries!

449

There's cold medication too.

450

The instructions are clearly written outside.

451

Take this.

452

Take it!

453

I have never had affections for you.

454

I...I know.

455

You told me that before.

456

You met me before,

457

because you wanted to borrow my identity to get military news.

458

Then why did you come?

459

I was still worried about your injuries.

460

You and I are still acquaintances.

461

I can accept your good intentions.

462

But you must agree to my one requirement.

463

Go ahead!

464

Bring my your brother's head!

465

If you can betray your family,

466

I guarantee we can be like before,

467

and open my heart to you.

468

If you want to be close to me, that isn't impossible.

469

If you can't bring yourself to use a knife,

470

I have poison. Put it in yor brother's tea,

471

and have him drink it!

472

If you really don't like her,

473

you should have used sweet words when you were caught,

474

and begged her to let you go.

475

Just what do you want to say?

476

I think you have her in your heart.

477

Members of the Bureau do not have hearts.

478

My Lord!

479

You saw everything?

480

Yes.

481

Do you think Yan Bingyun is really heartless?

482

I sure hope he is!

483

Why?

484

Think about it.

485

We are in Northern Qi's capital right now.

486

If we get connected to Miss Shen,

487

then Shen Zhong really won't let us go!

488

We can't keep Miss Shen's visit a secret.

489

If Shen Zhong wants to come, let him. I'll be waiting.

490

Shan Shanghu already treats you as an enemy.

491

Why go and anger Shen Zhong?

492

It's not like me to attract strong enemies?

493

In the past,

494

while your acts were surprising,

495

you never looked for trouble on purpose.

496

I came across so many things since I came to the capital from Danzhou.

497

Those things came to me. I only solved them.

498

Why do I rarely take the initiative to act?

499

Why?

500

Because I only want to live well.

501

Besides that, I have no other requests.

502

I want to live easier.

503

There isn't anything I particularly want.

504

And I don't know what my life goal is.

505

Man who wants nothing is the strongest.

506

But things are different now.

507

You...found your life's goal?

508

Do you know of Ye Qingmei?

509

Yes.

510

How did she die?

511

I don't know the reason.

512

I always thought it was her business was too good,

513

and she offended the powerful because she held onto the world's riches.

514

That's why she was killed.

515

What's wrong with that thinking?

516

You said she...married into the Southern Qin royal family?

517

Yes.

518

Who did she marry?

519

The prince at that time...and the current emperor.

520

Now I understand.

521

With her identity, she couldn't have died silently.

522

Someone hid the truth of the past.

523

This matter is confidential.

524

Then it's not something that we should know.

525

You're right.

526

So now I have a life's goal.

527

I have something I need to do.

528

I want to become the master of the Inspection and Control Bureau,

529

and become the top official in Southern Qin.

♫ Life goes round and round ♫

532

♫ In the long river of time ♫

533

♫ Layers of memories, of many lives over ♫

534

♫ Get stacked up ♫

535

♫ In an intoxicating river of stars ♫

536

♫ Before you know it, spring is over and it's almost fall again ♫

537

♫ The swallows are gone to their wintering grounds ♫

538

♫ Who can give up the chance ♫

539

♫ To spend this life with you? ♫

540

♫ You have been walking around in your dream for so long ♫

541

♫ The flowers fall from the boughs quietly ♫

542

♫ Year in and year out, we are on the road ♫

543

♫ Counting the remaining days of the year ♫

544

♫ Even if we will never meet again ♫

545

♫ Even if the bond is broken ♫

546

♫ No complaints ♫

547

♫ It's a cold world and I still think of you as I did before ♫

548

♫ The moon is sleepless ♫

549

♫ Leave a warm heart ♫

550

♫ To look after the rest of the year ♫

551

♫ Even if I have to cross a thousand mountains ♫

552

♫ Through the fire of war ♫

553

♫ You are always there for me ♫

554

♫ The flowers leave the boughs, quietly ♫

555

♫ Year in and year out, we are on the road ♫

556

♫ Counting the remaining days of the year ♫

557

♫ Even if we will never meet again ♫

558

♫ Even if the bond is broken ♫

559

♫ No complaints ♫

560

♫ It's a cold world and I think of you as I did before ♫

561

♫ The moon is sleepless ♫

562

♫ Leave a warm heart ♫

563

♫ To look after the rest of the year ♫

564

♫ Even if I have to cross a thousand mountains and through the fire of war ♫

565

♫ You are always there for me. ♫
