1
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:21,920
STRAW COUNTRY HOUSE

2
00:00:25,240 --> 00:00:26,080
Come.

3
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,040
Winter is coming.

4
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,160
Will we see
to Changyu on New Year's Eve?

5
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,360
But how old

6
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,400
no vision of things.

7
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,840
Changyu is doing great things.

8
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,760
Why speculate?
whether or not she comes in the New Year?

9
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,080
You are old.

10
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:53,720
Only fought in one battle
and you think you know more than me?

11
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,240
So as to.

12
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,720
During that time, I took care of more horses
than you ate dumplings.

13
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,520
My vision expanded.

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,080
You're just a horse keeper.

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,160
What else did you see?

16
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:05,800
- What else would you have seen?
- Who is it?

17
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:22,840
- Ning!
- Quick!

18
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,880
- Inside.
- Come in soon.

19
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:26,040
Fast!

20
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,480
Fast. This way.

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,840
Hide.

22
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,360
Xie Qi.

23
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:40,280
Xie Qi?

24
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,640
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao, it's safe out there.

25
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,560
Are you really?

26
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,840
Where is Ms. Yu?

27
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,760
Miss. Yu?

28
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:58,960
- Miss. Yu!
- Bao'er.

29
00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,960
Bao'er.

30
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,400
ADAPTED FROM THE NOVEL <i>ZHU YU</i>
BY TUAN ZI LAI XI ON JJWXC.NET

31
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,960
Said she held
a knife to your own neck

32
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,320
and told you to release Bao'er?

33
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,240
Yes.

34
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,960
Cut off the arm you used
to hit her.

35
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,440
If madam doesn't wake up,

36
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,000
you will be buried together.

37
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,240
Thank you for the blessing.

38
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:10,680
You woke up.

39
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:17,120
Bring the two doctors.

40
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Save her now.

41
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,560
If something happens to her,

42
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,240
you don't come out alive.

43
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,760
It's a knife wound.

44
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:32,280
The wound opened and gave rise to a fever.

45
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,400
Find a way now.

46
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,320
- Yes.
- Yes.

47
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Let's examine it now.

48
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,440
Don't kill innocent people.

49
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,680
If you kill them...

50
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:44,720
I won't live either.

51
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,120
You can't die.

52
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,280
As long as you live, I promise you everything.

53
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,640
Qianqian.

54
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,240
Qianqian!

55
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,400
Bring all doctors within 100 li!

56
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,520
You.

57
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,120
Next.

58
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,000
Between.

59
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,400
Next.

60
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,960
- Compassion!
- You.

61
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,280
- Clemency!
- Come in.

62
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:30,480
And you.

63
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,720
LEGACY OF WISDOM AND LOYALTY

64
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,640
She… She woke up.

65
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,600
She woke up.

66
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,480
Qianqian.

67
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,120
Finally woke up.

68
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,440
You promised you wouldn't kill anyone.

69
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,400
How could…

70
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,920
- Guards!
- Here.

71
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,520
Wake them up.

72
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Yes sir.

73
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,240
Standing.

74
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,120
- Stand up.
- Sorry, my lady.

75
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,520
We are unharmed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

76
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:35,560
It saw?

77
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,240
Faked death.

78
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,480
I just turned them off and gave them a scare.

79
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:44,920
In this remote region,

80
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,600
if you don't threaten their lives,

81
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,600
these charlatans

82
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,560
They don't do their best to save you.

83
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,200
I remember

84
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,240
of your every word.

85
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,280
Take them.

86
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,440
- Stand up.
- Stand up.

87
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,880
Get up.

88
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,000
Walk.

89
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,280
Faster. Go.

90
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,200
Faster.

91
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,360
This knife

92
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,880
it almost cost him his life.

93
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,000
Why did you get in front of that brat?

94
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,960
- Mother!
- Eliminate the boy, not the woman.

95
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,400
Don't move.

96
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,840
Run. Find Uncle Xie Qi.

97
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:42,039
- Go.
- Mother!

98
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,400
Run!

99
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,360
If you dream of shooting those arrows,
I kill myself.

100
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,160
How are you going to explain to the lunatic?

101
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:56,760
<i>Not even a tiger devours its cubs.</i>

102
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,400
You would kill your own son.

103
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,160
I don't know what these people see in you.

104
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,640
Don't be afraid of one day

105
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,080
Do you kill them too?

106
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:11,800
You're still angry

107
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,640
because I tried to kill Bao'er.

108
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,720
You are smart to know

109
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,640
that Xie Zheng

110
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,600
would use it to control the kingdom.

111
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,400
This son came at the wrong time.

112
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,720
Just think about recovering.

113
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,120
When I ascend the throne
and rule over all,

114
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,320
We'll have as many as you want.

115
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Oh yes.

116
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,920
I have a surprise.

117
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,720
Between.

118
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,920
Milady.

119
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,400
Zisu.

120
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,040
You are alive. Thank Heaven.

121
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,480
Finally woke up.

122
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,840
It saw?

123
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,200
I brought the servant who knows how to take care of you

124
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,280
better than anyone.

125
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,800
With her here, you'll soon recover.

126
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,760
UNMATCHED IN MERIT

127
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,120
Changyu, it's well installed
in the generals' residence?

128
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,200
It's great.

129
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,840
But there are few people,
So it's kind of lifeless.

130
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,240
I've never lived in such a big place.

131
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,560
It even echoes when I speak.

132
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,200
To be honest,

133
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,040
I'm even afraid to go out at night.

134
00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:57,920
It's quite sinister.

135
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,320
Bengong… No,

136
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:03,600
Your Highness.

137
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:04,880
"Your Highness"?

138
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,120
I prefer you to call me "Miss Bengong".

139
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,440
I have something for you.

140
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,560
Open up, come on.

141
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,960
I selected these clothes
especially for you.

142
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,080
And some jewelry.

143
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,800
Keep them. Use when you can.

144
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,840
Even though they are generals,
We are still beautiful girls.

145
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,680
But this is too precious.

146
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,240
Don't speak so formally to me.

147
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,760
- Try this one.
- The one I'm using is fine.

148
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,040
- Just prove it. It's so beautiful.
- I'm fine with this one. Serious.

149
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,800
- I'm not going to prove it now.
- Try it soon.

150
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,880
- No, it's serious.
- Changyu.

151
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,520
- Proof. It will be beautiful.
- I'm not used to it.

152
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,640
Listen to what I say.

153
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,720
- It's beautiful.
- Let me see.

154
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,520
Our General Adorned with Flowers

155
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,880
It's really beautiful.

156
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,880
The Marquis of Wu'an is very lucky.

157
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,560
Your Highness, General.

158
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,560
In two days officers arrive
to teach the general court etiquette.

159
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,400
What?

160
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,760
DEPARTMENT OF RITES AND CEREMONIES

161
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,680
It looks like a stuck stick.

162
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:41,400
Right in the middle of the road.

163
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:45,600
How rude. You're the one who bumped into him.

164
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,440
And you with this?

165
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:49,800
- Your...
- Wu.

166
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,280
Forget. Better to avoid problems.

167
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,360
<i>Thank you for intervening.</i>

168
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,040
We are stuck here
in simple services for almost a year.

169
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,000
When the emperor
Will you employ us again?

170
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,960
I almost forgot what year it is.

171
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,280
So it is.

172
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,560
I almost forgot the color of the sky

173
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,040
of the capital.

174
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,520
Song, you are also a scholar.

175
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,480
Why do you put up with this harassment?

176
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,600
My mother passed away.

177
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,360
I have no family to support me.

178
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,200
Food, housing, transport in the capital…

179
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,680
It costs so much.

180
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,800
If I give vent to pride

181
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,200
and lose this hard-earned income,

182
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:50,640
I'll end up on the streets.

183
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,200
I will endure a little longer.

184
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,040
There is always a way out.

185
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,720
There in Lin'an,

186
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,280
when I passed the exam,

187
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,040
everyone in the village celebrated.

188
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,840
I felt like a dragon among men.

189
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,960
Now that I'm in the capital,

190
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,200
I see nobles everywhere.

191
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,520
Throw a jug of wine at random,

192
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,120
and will hit several scholars
talented and idle like me.

193
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,760
It's true what they say:

194
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,360
- "Geese from the north fly south…
<i>- "Geese from the north fly south…</i>

195
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,040
- …to the place of the phoenixes, with nowhere to land."
<i>- …to the place of the phoenixes, with nowhere to land.</i>

196
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:36,160
Well put.

197
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,640
"Geese from the north fly south.

198
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,720
to the place of the phoenixes,
and they find it difficult to land."

199
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,480
Song, your talent shines.
You will achieve great things.

200
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,200
Song. Listening.

201
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Dispatch from Minister Liu,
of the Ministry of Rites.

202
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:03,600
The capital just appointed
a General Adorned with Flowers.

203
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,560
The minister wants me
teach her court etiquette.

204
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,880
The General is a fourth class officer.

205
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,880
Teach etiquette
For senior officers it is quite a job.

206
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:14,880
I didn't think that Minister Liu

207
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,840
I loved you so much, Song.

208
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,920
But I knew that this general

209
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,720
was a peasant,

210
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,200
raw and without manners,

211
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,800
unsuitable for socializing.

212
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,800
Song, your talent stands out.

213
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,320
Such a task

214
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:31,280
It's wasting your luggage.

215
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,920
I'm embarrassed, Wu.

216
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,920
The master said, "In teaching,
there should be no class distinction.”

217
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,320
If the general really wants to learn etiquette,

218
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,080
I'm willing

219
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,240
to help however you can.

220
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,520
UNMATCHED IN MERIT

221
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,560
Ministers, some tea.

222
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,320
Minister Liu.

223
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,360
Please.

224
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,400
Greetings to the Great General.

225
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,320
Great General,

226
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,120
SongYan,
Secretary of the Ministry of Rites,

227
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,440
comes by imperial decree
instruct in court etiquette.

228
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Reporting to the general,

229
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,640
Secretary Song
He is very well versed in etiquette.

230
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,960
- It's the same as...
- Secretary Song, which class are you in?

231
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,160
General,

232
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,200
class nine, junior level.

233
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,600
- But Song…
-Fan Changyu.

234
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,800
Are you the general?

235
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,720
How dare you!

236
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,360
Call the Great General by name?

237
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,680
And is it from the Ministry of Rites?

238
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,840
How long,

239
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:45,480
SongYan.

240
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,800
Then the Great General and Scholar Song
They are old acquaintances.

241
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,240
How wonderful!

242
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,840
I don't deserve the term "old acquaintance".

243
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,040
Changyu…

244
00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:06,760
I will remember for the rest of my life

245
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,640
the kindness of the general's family.

246
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,680
- What did I do…
- By the laws of the kingdom,

247
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,920
scholar does not need
bow down to officers.

248
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,160
- Help him.
- Yes.

249
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,520
My father's money
for the coffin and his studies

250
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:28,560
has already been paid.

251
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:30,320
We're even.

252
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,000
It's no great kindness,

253
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:35,240
as you say.

254
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,480
Yes.

255
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,280
But congratulations on achieving

256
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:43,800
your objective.

257
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,040
Class nine, junior level.

258
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,040
Even reasonable.

259
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:51,120
Your mother must be proud.

260
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,200
But anyway…

261
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,480
You know I won't use it
your services. You can go.

262
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,880
We ministers say goodbye.

263
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:00,920
Let's go quickly.

264
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,200
Come here.

265
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,560
What happened between you and the general?

266
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,440
Between us…

267
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:15,760
It's a long story.

268
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,240
So shorten it.

269
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,960
Why didn't you tell me before?

270
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,040
A story like that with the Great General.

271
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:22,920
It almost killed me, you know?

272
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,600
But isn't the scholar Song?

273
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,520
Serious?

274
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:26,680
Guard Jin.

275
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,360
Scholar Song has a high position now.

276
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,320
Where are you going, Scholar Song?

277
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:35,080
I'll accompany you.

278
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,480
- Guard Jin.
- I'm going alone.

279
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,040
- Guard Jin. That can't happen!
- Attack an officer?

280
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,160
It was a misunderstanding.

281
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,280
I'm a seventh class swordsman guard,

282
00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,320
kindly follow along
an officer. Is this attacking?

283
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,800
And our boss didn't say anything.

284
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,880
Right, Minister Liu?

285
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,240
Yes. Guard Jin is right.

286
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,800
He fell alone.

287
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:01,760
Used authority in personal feud.

288
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,200
Personal feud?

289
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,040
And if so?

290
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,160
There in the village,

291
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,040
Didn't you play the big guy?

292
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:12,920
Picking on Changyu.

293
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:15,800
- Now...
- Your...

294
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,680
- …you don't even clean her shoes.
- But you, huh!

295
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,760
But the general is now a noble.

296
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,680
I'm not worthy of talking about the past.

297
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,920
I just hope you remember

298
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,560
that my intentions
and original aspirations

299
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,480
- they haven’t changed…
- Let's go.

300
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,680
Want to catch more?

301
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,120
Which heavenly law have you broken?

302
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,760
It offended everyone at the general.

303
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,240
- I scared you, didn't I?
- Say.

304
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,920
What did you do? Tell me.

305
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:04,800
Husband welcomed?

306
00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:08,400
Fan Changyu didn't abandon you,

307
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,160
but it helped you climb the ranks
and have wealth and honor!

308
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,880
- How could I be inferior to...
- What nonsense is this?

309
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,600
Marquis,

310
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,960
don't mind him.

311
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,920
Marquis, what are you doing here?

312
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,120
You see me here in the capital
without being summoned.

313
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,040
If you report me to His Majesty,

314
00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:31,920
can guarantee a life of luxury.

315
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,280
Marquis, I wouldn't dare!

316
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,440
I didn't see anything. Nothing, Marquis.

317
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,920
Why are you standing?
Greet the Marquis of Wu'an!

318
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,560
Marquis, he didn't see anything.
None of us saw anything.

319
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,440
Marquis of Wu'an…

320
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,640
Look up.

321
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,160
<i>Geese from the north fly south,</i>

322
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,760
<i>to the place of the phoenixes,</i>
<i>and find it difficult to land.</i>

323
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,720
Marquis, he…

324
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,280
Who is this?

325
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,120
So weak.

326
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,120
An underling from the Ministry of Rites.

327
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,080
Inexperienced. He was stunned
with your presence.

328
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,040
Marquis, forgive my clumsiness.

329
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,360
The Marquis says to warn
that he is in the capital.

330
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:47,480
Did you understand?

331
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,360
I… wouldn't have the courage.

332
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,680
I swear on my life.

333
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,800
You can guarantee the Marquis.

334
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,400
If a whisper echoes
through the capital's skies,

335
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,560
- I take responsibility…
- You really don't understand.

336
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,600
You can hold me responsible. Serious.

337
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,720
I swear on my life...

338
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,280
Why are you crying?
I should be crying!

339
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:16,200
Standing!

340
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,640
What did I do to deserve this bad luck,
bringing a plague with me?

341
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,560
Let's get out of here soon. How embarrassing.

342
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,840
FAN

343
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,880
GUO'S TAVERN - NOODLES

344
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,280
You, hanging out with me like that…

345
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,560
Aren't you afraid of being seen?

346
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,680
I promised to show you the capital.

347
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,280
Promise is debt.

348
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,120
What it was?

349
00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:54,240
Did you feel bad about meeting Song Yan?

350
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,640
So you remember him.

351
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,360
I thought you forgot.

352
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,720
It's not that I don't remember.

353
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,400
I just never found it worthy of my attention.

354
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,000
Is it jealousy?

355
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:14,800
The expression changed.

356
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,080
Ridiculous.

357
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:20,680
Before, this.

358
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,880
Otherwise he would be demeaning himself.

359
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,440
Remember that there in Lin'an,

360
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,400
I said

361
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,840
that if you became an officer
and if you bumped into him,

362
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,880
Would you help me put him in his right place?

363
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:34,960
Very good.

364
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,880
There's still time.

365
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,520
- Stop the carriage.
- No.

366
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,080
That's not what I said.

367
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,680
A nobody like Song Yan
Do you need the Marquis to show you his place?

368
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,120
FRESH FLOWERS FROM MEIYU

369
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,600
The capital is beautiful.

370
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:04,440
In the old days,

371
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,400
I was jealous of Song Yan for coming here.

372
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,120
But now,

373
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,160
with Chancellor Wei,
Grand Tutor Li and the others,

374
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,880
the capital isn't even special.

375
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:22,680
Don't worry.

376
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:23,800
One day,

377
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,400
all these traitors

378
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,440
will be wiped off the map.

379
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,240
And the world will know peace again.

380
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:50,160
Fireworks!

381
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,240
Now we can "watch the fire
across the river" right here.

382
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,760
Why "across the river"?

383
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,480
Let's go.

384
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,240
Stop the carriage.

385
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,240
Go out for what?

386
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:08,440
Where are we going?

387
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:09,920
Come with me.

388
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,360
Waiter, private table for two.

389
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,600
Right now. This way.

390
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:20,520
JINGQUE HOUSE

391
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:23,440
Look.

392
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,840
Coming to the capital without authorization
It is a serious crime.

393
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,120
What's the problem with that?

394
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,160
Who will accuse me?

395
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,200
Even if I accused,
Would the boy emperor dare to accept?

396
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,880
You always said

397
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,760
about seeing the capital at night.

398
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:43,680
How to stay alone in the carriage?

399
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,480
In fact,

400
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,160
One thing I am grateful to Song Yan.

401
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,200
What would it be?

402
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,920
I am grateful for Song Yan

403
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,760
not recognizing its value.

404
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,080
You said once

405
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,160
that I was a rough jade.

406
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,840
Even your name engraved,
I would never be yours.

407
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,120
But now I understand.

408
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,680
You are the real jade.

409
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,480
Your Highness,
He must be tired from the trip.

410
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:05,880
This is a private residence
of the Li family.

411
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,720
You can stay safe.

412
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,080
I have already sent men

413
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,760
guard Fan Changyu's house.

414
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,000
From there, we followed the trail

415
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,000
and accused Xie Zheng of returning
to the capital without an imperial summons.

416
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:23,600
Great Tutor Li,

417
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,360
why not make the emperor a fool
issue a decree,

418
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:27,760
openly summon Xie Zheng

419
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,960
to bring the army
to receive rewards?

420
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,840
What do you mean by that?

421
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,480
Among the Chongzhou prisoners,
there are many loyal to me.

422
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:41,320
They have already infiltrated the Yanzhou Army

423
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,800
returning to the capital.

424
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,160
Prince Changxin

425
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,000
spent his life trying
capture the capital of Dayin,

426
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:49,320
without ever imagining

427
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,880
that I could use Xie Zheng's hands

428
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,560
to bring openly
a rebel force for the city.

429
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,280
With soldiers, victory is possible.

430
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,720
Your Highness really carries royal blood.

431
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,160
immeasurable wisdom,
unparalleled methods.

432
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,880
I am at your disposal

433
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,960
to achieve your great ambition.

434
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,680
UNMATCHED IN MERIT

435
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:32,960
Close the door.

436
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,480
- Were you summoned by imperial decree?
- Yes.

437
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:41,640
They knew I had come,

438
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,680
but they made it official.

439
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,080
And a message from the hawk.

440
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,440
Qi Min sent the death warriors.
Took Miss. Yu.

441
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,640
Drug. I will bring Qian back.

442
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,800
Wait. Don't rush.

443
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,760
I've already sent my men.

444
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:03,800
We need…

445
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:05,760
from another approach.

446
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:06,960
What approach?

447
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,480
This Qi is a crazy puppy.
The kind that bites even itself.

448
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,640
Qi Min looks cruel,

449
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,240
but he is extremely devoted to Miss. Yu.

450
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,720
You won't kill her.

451
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,040
- Changyu.
- A terrible thing happened!

452
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,280
They are saying that the emperor
wants you as noble consort.

453
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,200
I already told you. I'm already married.

454
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,480
Exactly.

455
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,960
Who would stop being a general
to be a concubine?

456
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,400
Would you leave? Meaningless.

457
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,240
The fame of General Adornada de Flores
spread.

458
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,560
She has popular support.

459
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,640
His Majesty wants to use the general's strength

460
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,040
to contain Ministers Wei and Li.

461
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,040
Exactly.

462
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,920
They came to probe you.

463
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:00,920
- Interested?
- Me, huh!

464
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,880
And I even felt sorry for him.

465
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,640
If that pig puts his head
out, I'll kill it right away.

466
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,720
I show

467
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,320
that the slaughtering general is not just for show.

468
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,440
IDEAL PAIR

469
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,400
Minister Fan, come.

470
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,760
I wrote some characters for you,

471
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,120
of what I carry in my heart.

472
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,240
See if you like it.

473
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,040
"A graceful maiden
It's a gentleman's ideal partner."

474
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,440
Beautiful words.

475
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,240
Too bad I don't know many characters.

476
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,200
Just these two.

477
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,160
No problem. I explain.

478
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,560
It's a famous verse from the <i>Book of Songs.</i>
He praises your beauty,

479
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,160
that captivated even me.

480
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,080
In short: you are the most beautiful in Dayin.

481
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,040
How beautiful?

482
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,480
I only have brute strength.

483
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,240
Your Majesty must know.

484
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,200
In the village,

485
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,000
I was rejected by a scholar.

486
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,560
I had to take on a husband at home

487
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,880
to save reputation
and the family store.

488
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:30,680
Your Majesty,

489
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,200
You need to intercede for women like me,

490
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,640
of broken lineage.

491
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:35,960
Change the Code of Dayin.

492
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,120
Women

493
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,000
They don't need men to survive.

494
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,880
If we can keep

495
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,080
and pay taxes,

496
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,400
We count like family.

497
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,000
We don't need men.

498
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,640
Don't you think so, Your Majesty?

499
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:51,880
Minister Fan,

500
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,560
you've already come far.

501
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,640
Don't dwell on the past.

502
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,600
As for the law, I promise.

503
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,480
After all, I have consideration for you.

504
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,880
In the name of women alone,
I, Fan Changyu,

505
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,480
Thank you, Your Majesty.

506
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,800
Stand, minister.

507
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,200
What a firm grip.

508
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,040
What other interests do you have?

509
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,120
Tell me.

510
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,640
Let's get to know each other.

511
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,560
I like slaughtering pigs.

512
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,320
How about finding a pig, Your Majesty?

513
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,680
I show you how it's done.

514
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,840
Debone, remove heart and lungs…

515
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,160
Enough.

516
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,000
I'll be direct.

517
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,440
I want to take you as my noble consort.

518
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,320
From now on,
You will have honor and wealth here in the palace.

519
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:43,400
What a shame.

520
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,120
I already have a husband.

521
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:47,920
I can't get married.

522
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Didn't I say your husband disappeared?

523
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:52,840
Any husband.

524
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,240
Peasant, common worker.

525
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:56,720
How does he compare to me?

526
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,160
What's more,

527
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,840
I want to join you

528
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,640
Is it a selfish desire, by any chance?

529
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,400
No.

530
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,960
It is for the sake of the entire kingdom of Dayin,

531
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,440
to prevent them from controlling the court.

532
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:14,120
And you,

533
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,680
even though it's a simple
pig slaughterer,

534
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,160
I don't despise you.

535
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,120
Do you understand?

536
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,040
I'm sacrificing myself for you,
thinking about your good.

537
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,160
Don't you understand the greater good?

538
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,040
Your Majesty is sacrificing

539
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,800
for a greater good?

540
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:36,760
Right.

541
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,440
I'm going to ask Xie Zheng for a divorce.

542
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:39,600
Get him out.

543
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,520
Excellent… Wait.

544
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,240
Who are you going to divorce again?

545
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:50,960
From Xie Zheng.

546
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,000
Xie Jiuheng.

547
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:00,520
Marquis of Wu'an.

548
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,360
Do you know him?

549
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:10,360
Yes.

550
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,560
- Too much.
- Then I'm leaving.

551
00:34:12,639 --> 00:34:13,920
Wait.

552
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,159
Minister Fan.

553
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,040
No, General Fan.

554
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,679
Why didn't you say it before?

555
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,440
It turned into a misunderstanding.

556
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,880
The Marquis of Wu'an
He is also loyal and patriotic.

557
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,560
Any marriage serves the greater good.

558
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,120
So…

559
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,360
Consider

560
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,080
that today's events
never existed.

561
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:42,000
What do you say?

562
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,600
I…

563
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,320
I obey the decree.

564
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,920
Marquis, Grand Tutor Tao has arrived.

565
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:12,920
Teacher.

566
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,040
Back by decree
leading a triumphant army.

567
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,000
This is showing up in the capital

568
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,680
fully legitimized.

569
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,200
It seems…

570
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,400
that the emperor
is also included in your plan.

571
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,360
If you are not afraid of shaking the court,

572
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:44,840
destabilize the kingdom

573
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,920
and open up the Jue of the North,

574
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,480
that puppet king

575
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,360
he must feel safe on the throne.

576
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,520
The catastrophe of 17 years ago

577
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,320
left today's court

578
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,560
immeasurably tangled.

579
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,800
These are impossible knots to untie.

580
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,640
There are 17 years of lessons, but no peace,

581
00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:10,480
just more turbulence.

582
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,960
We really are back.

583
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,640
Jiuheng,

584
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,160
the journey to the capital is your first
direct confrontation with Wei Yan.

585
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,200
Uncle and nephew together,

586
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,080
danger at every step.

587
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,800
Are you ready?

588
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:35,480
I enter the capital

589
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,520
on the anniversary of my mother's death.

590
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,240
Me and him...

591
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,440
let's meet.

592
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,680
Greetings, mom.

593
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,440
Why did you summon me?

594
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,960
What have you been busy with?

595
00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:35,360
Chess manuals.

596
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,080
In my free time, I also copied
some sutras for you, mother.

597
00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:40,680
Just that?

598
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,840
Your maid Jianjia

599
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:46,920
He's been going to the cold palace a lot. For what?

600
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,920
It must be because he has a good heart
and wanting to distribute food.

601
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:56,440
Shu.

602
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,320
Mom,

603
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,760
I just discovered

604
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,160
that the cold palace can have

605
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:10,400
a witness to the uprising
17 years ago.

606
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,720
Who else knows this?

607
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,520
Just me and Jianjia. Nobody else.

608
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,080
Never bring it up again.

609
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,640
As if it hadn't happened.

610
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,760
In seven days, there will be the palace banquet.

611
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,440
Your young days
cannot be prolonged.

612
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,040
Go. The ceremonial dress
he was sent to his quarters.

613
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:52,120
Mom,

614
00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,560
if Wei Yan wants to go that far,

615
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,880
let's reveal the truth from 17 years ago,

616
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:57,960
exterminate the nine clans

617
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,400
and take back his power. Isn't it right?

618
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:04,360
Why are you and my brother

619
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,840
Are you so afraid of him?

620
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,320
Silks and delicacies
They left you too naive.

621
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,480
Wei Yan is not that easy to take down.

622
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:22,440
I walked on eggshells,

623
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,360
I endured humiliation
just to survive these 17 years.

624
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,160
If you have any filial piety,

625
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:30,920
listen to me. Don't bring it up again.

626
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,760
Shu…

627
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,240
Yes, mother. I understood.

628
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:53,600
I will withdraw.

629
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:00,920
I don't know why

630
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,000
my heart

631
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,440
He is agitated, afraid.

632
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,400
Like it was 17 years ago again.

633
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,920
GRACE AND COMPASSION IN UNION

634
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:12,840
Report to Your Majesty.

635
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,120
The Marquis of Wu'an brought his army

636
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,040
to the surroundings of the city.

637
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:18,040
In three days,

638
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,400
will enter the city by imperial decree.

639
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,160
Earlier than I imagined.

640
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,640
Did he find out

641
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:31,440
my interest in Fan Changyu
and ran to the capital?

642
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,160
- What a wolf in sheep's clothing.
- Yes.

643
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:38,640
Compete with me for a pig slaughterer?

644
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:39,520
So it is.

645
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,920
- Tell me. Why is my fate bitter?
- Yes...

646
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,200
No! It's not bitter.
Not at all.

647
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,040
Chancellor Wei is Cao Cao.
Grand Tutor Li is elusive.

648
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:53,480
A slippery eel.

649
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,200
Finally I found it
an easy going country woman,

650
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:59,160
and now she is… marchioness.

651
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,960
If the Jizhou and Yanzhou armies

652
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,640
come together,

653
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:10,400
Don't you create another Prince Changxin?

654
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Well…

655
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,400
No.

656
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:16,960
I can't allow that.

657
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:20,480
And…

658
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,160
the imperial grandson of the ancient
East Palace?

659
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,240
Reporting: still no news.

660
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,160
And in the last days,

661
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:32,360
Chancellor Wei's side has been quiet.
No unusual movement.

662
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,160
Look what you come up with.

663
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,080
Come back here.

664
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,440
I will not wait for death.

665
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,160
- Summon Grand Tutor Li.
- Yes, sir.

666
00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:55,200
Immediately.

667
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,440
Hurry up.

668
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,280
Guards! Summon Grand Tutor Li
for an audience!

669
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:05,920
Greetings, Your Majesty.

670
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,480
Rumors about the imperial grandson
are spreading.

671
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:14,040
Great Tutor Li,

672
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,840
Do you have any information?

673
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:17,600
Majesty,

674
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:20,360
These are rumors that are difficult to distinguish.

675
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:23,600
But to emerge
at such a critical moment,

676
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,680
in my understanding,

677
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,280
someone must be

678
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,640
adding fuel to the fire.

679
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,440
I thought the same.

680
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:38,320
Do you distrust anyone, Grand Tutor?

681
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:39,240
Your Majesty,

682
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,440
the Marquis of Wu'an
is commanding heavy forces,

683
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,600
with the army deliberately
camped outside the capital.

684
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,560
His ambitions are clear to everyone.

685
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,160
I offer my humble advice.

686
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:54,440
Cut that knot quickly

687
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,360
and eliminate this threat completely.

688
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,360
No.

689
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,680
Impossible.

690
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,160
So I

691
00:43:11,240 --> 00:43:13,480
it would offend Chancellor Wei.

692
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,960
Your Majesty, I have a plan

693
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,160
that can lead to success.

694
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,000
They say there's a clue in the cold palace.

695
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:26,760
Consort Qi's maid.

696
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,520
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED
IN THE PRODUCTION OF THIS EPISODE

697
