So exhausted.

The emperor must get dressed like this?

All the tedious red tape.

Great.

When can I see your girl?

We have said, not now.

I need to see.

Make it tonight.

In the garden.

Grandfather.

Period.

You can't say no.

Is the criminal all right?

I have committed suicide.

What a voice.

What do you want?

Put it down.

You.

What do you want on earth?

Can't bear it?

I

I should have sent you back to the imperial guard.

I don't care.

What's wrong with here?

You have food.

Nobody will kill you.

Open the window, you can see the scenery.

You disappeared for three days.

You might as well put me in prison.

I need some air.

It's just three days, you are so impatient to see me?

Miss me?

Look at you.

You are so ungrateful.

Even your dad knows I am helping you.

If I throw you out of the palace, you will be killed.

I just want to keep you safe.

My dad, brother Xu Bin and brother Xie Xing, where are they now?

Am I your guard?

Yes.

You know everything right?

Do you know your identity?

I don't know.

Let me tell you.

You can't even outlive tomorrow in prison.

Just send me back.

Anyway, I know I can't take my revenge.

Forget it.

But if you want to make me a mole, let me tell you.

You underestimate me.

Guards.

Yes.

Comfortable.

Sorry.

Go to get rewards in Yuqian department.

Yes. -Yes.

Excellent.

Laugh out loud.

I won't mind it.

I can forgive you.

Let me go.

Afer you promise me to cooperate with me.

No way.

My grandfather knows I brought a girl back.

He wants to see you.

Your grandfather?

Zhu Di.

Call the emperor.

You are so audacious.

I'll show you an acquaintance.

You have an hour.

Why are you alone?

Where is my dad?

After you were taken away from Ya'e lane, we were brought here.

It's all my fault.

Better to die in Ya'e Lane.

Imperial grandson talked to me just now.

Now you know why you can't see your dad, right?

My life is under the knife edge.

Zhu Di wants to see you tonight.

You need to act the role so we can survive.

Whimsical.

Why?

If possible, will you kill Zhu Di?

As long as I can approach him,

just do it.

When we came from Fujian, I didn't expect we would live to tell the story.

Your dad lets me tell you,

What did he say?

Just do what you want.

On the worst side, we three will die.

So we won't be lonely.

Finish the play.

Or kill him.

Our lives are in your hand.

So we both will die without regrets.

Jiangnan's weaving is so hideous.

So old-fashioned.

Come...

Look at the color.

If it's deeper, it will be my mother's clothes.

Change it.

Change...

Take it away.

Try this.

Yes.

Go...

Not enough?

I think it's enough.

After clothes, you need to choose jewelry and your makeup.

The most important is teaching you about etiquette.

I can't send an animal to my grandfather, right?

Animal?

I won't go.

No...

Don't forget.

Some people are waiting for you in imperial prison.

Change.

Zheng, He came back without some fine jewelry?

Usually, what kind of hairpin do you use?

Iron.

Iron?

The length is ok.

As sharp as a sword.

Fujian has many Japanese pirates.

Local women all have the hairpins

to prevent from pirates' sexual misconduct.

At the crucial moment, we can kill them or ourselves.

What a joke.

If you still intimidate me, I will kill them.

Come...

Change...

Your Majesty.

Great.

Rise.

Your Majesty.

Rise.

On your knees.

Line up, rise.

Kill.

Reward them.

Yes. -Reward them.

Get up, the emperor rewards you.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Thank you, your Majesty.

Rise.

Come...

Come

You don't have to stay with me.

You and Zheng He should drink with all the envoys.

Yes

Where's the brat?

I don't know.

Go find him.

Yes

He said tonight he would take the girl to me.

Without him, I won't sit down. So ridiculous, he can't cheat me again.

Your Majesty, he is there.

Staying young is the best.

All the heroes will grow old.

I didn't have such a good life at his age.

Where does that girl come from?

I don't know.

Where is her hometown?

No idea.

How did they know each other?

You should drink go with them.

Yes

Your Majesty.

Go drink with your dad.

No, your Majesty.

I and her...

What?

Can I do anything to her?

No.

Come with me.

Go...

Tell general Zuli.

I got his tributes.

Thank you.

I hope he will like my gifts.

I think he should spare time to take out the pirates at sea.

Our navy only knows the enemies but doesn't know the enemy state.

If he doesn't do it, I will help him.

It's forbidden to harass our people.

We hope you could live in harmony with all the countries.

We could be business partners.

We met the storm on the road.

Sometimes the ships capsize.

Please give us Ningbo or the island on Zhenhai for a drying place.

What's your take?

The local office will help your dry goods,

I got the lands from my ancestors, I can't give them to someone else.

I will see him another day.

I want to talk to your general.

What do you think of it?

I?

Say whatever you like.

Our territory is vast.

But with no one less.

Fetch the silver goblet. Reward her some wine.

No red tape.

I like your words.

What a nice girl.

I drank so much wine.

You should come to help me.

You can drink like a fish.

Brother.

Look.

The emperor rewards her some wine.

The emperor rewards her with wine.

Awesome.

Great.

What's your name?

My name is Sun Ruowei, your Majesty.

Why it's her?

You know her?

How could I know her?

But why did he take her here?

Father said he could make his own choice.

A dandiacal boy, what kind of people can he choose?

Brothers Mabao.

I didn't punish you with the wine.

Why did you kowtow to the crown prince right after you came back?

You just leave us behind.

I had an imperial decree before I came back.

The emperor said, when he was on expedition,

and I traveled to the west.

crown prince took great credit for his regency.

How can I seek the limelight without thanking him?

Yes. Come.

Khan thinks,

we can see Great Wall as boundary.

Give us the land beyond Shanhai Pass.

So we can be safe.

You are the owner of the world.

All right.

I see.

Outside pass, it's our territory.

And my people live there.

Give the land to you?

What do you mean?

A secession?

I have said this many times,

Ming and Wu Liangwei are friends for centuries.

Like brothers.

I was shocked at what you said.

Go tell your khan.

If Wu Liangwei lacks something, he can take his tribe here.

I can give him as much as he wants.

I will reward him for the land and farm tools.

And they can leave whenever he wants.

Don't try to speculate my intention.

Our country can't be separated.

It's my bottom line.

After the new year, I will go conquer Alutai's old site.

You should go back to tell your khan,

It's the last thing for brothers to kill each other in the world.

I did it before.

But I regret it till today.

You should talk to the crown prince more.

You will get a lot of rewards.

I think he is a little rebellious.

Yes, your Majesty.

I will go on expedition next year.

To end Alutai's harassing our people.

Do I need to take out Wu Liangwei?

What are you laughing at?

Just do it as before.

What did I do before?

Leave no room for manoeuver or do nothing.

Brilliant.

No one dares to say so.

Miss.

You are so brave.

Guards.

Doctor.

We need a doctor.

Go... -Go.

Touch my hands.

They are still shaking.

Touch...

What are you shaking?

Not shooting you.

Where is your father?

Emperor.

Well, you should keep a close eye on her.

She can't die.

Father cares about this.

They should have shot at me.

You.

So you're relieved, right?

I was so stupid to marry you twenty years ago.

Go...

Ok, I will go.

Keep an eye on her. -Go.

Go.

Son, they are sending for the doctor.

You should get changed and go to see your grandfather.

Your dad is heading for there.

Tell the doctor to get in quickly.

Others are not allowed in.

You...

You should go back.

The emperor wants to be alone.

Did you send for the doctor?

Is the emperor frightened?

We can't let the people in the garden go.

We need to investigate it.

When will the emperor...

Go make a bylaw.

We can...

be with the emperor at any time.

You...

Great.

Don't want to live a good life.

Ok, great.

You want to stir up troubles?

You should make it earlier.

Crown prince.

Your Majesty.

You are a good strategist in running the country, right?

Go back and write me a memorial about what's going on.

I have no peace for a day after I come back from the expedition.

Prince Han.

Yes.

You don't have to stay with me in the garden.

I'm afraid when you stand outside.

I can't sleep.

Father.

You tell people that you take after me every day, right?

I want to correct you.

Where do you take after me?

You are much better than me.

Prince Zhao.

Yes, father.

As I know, Beizhen imperial department is going to do something.

Great.

Do it quickly.

Check who did it?

Go.

Brother.

We can't go back just like this.

What does he mean?

You don't understand?

He wants to tell you to go home and don't come out.

Crown prince writes the memorial, and I will arrest the criminal.

Ground me?

Dad doesn't mean that.

Stop asking.

You should stop making troubles for few days.

No.

Brother III, both of us rely on you.

We have the faintest idea about what happened tonight.

I know?

How can you tell that I know?

Really grounded?

You should ask dad.

You.

If I were you, I wouldn't run around.

Aunt

I want to see if the girl dies.

She looks familiar.

Stop it.

If she dies, God knows how many people will die with her.

What if she were alive?

Alive?

You should show courtesy to her when you see her from a distance.

If she survives, she will be a master.

If she is a master, I will be one too.

I won't fail.

How is she doing?

Tell me about her.

Arrow right through the lung, and it is cold.

Please give me some time.

It all depends on her.

Second brother did it?

The third brother.

Why didn't you tell me?

You will make me a serious trouble.

Why did you do it at this time?

Are you a swine?

Your maternal grandmother

Also your maternal grandmother.

Have you heard of it?

Your second brother is grounded.

He grumbles at home every day.

The emperor is two-faced.

Your ear should grow on your head.

You can hear everything.

He is cursing at home.

But I barely have the chance.

The emperor told me to write him a memorial.

He told me to analyze who did it and how he implemented it.

Now you give a puzzle.

If I make a good analysis, the father will ask me how I know it.

If not, father will say,

I am sowing discord.

I am so miserable.

So you should analyze it well, who did it.

You did it.

If I tell you, it's not me.

Will you believe me?

Go tell the emperor.

I don't believe it.

You don't believe me.

Let alone him.

Now he sees the rebellion on my head.

Tell me the truth.

Is that you?

You really think I'm so stupid?

You think I will do it at this time?

If I want to kill, it's more convenient for me to kill the crown prince, right?

If I do this, it will be helpful for him to claim the throne.

What did the emperor say?

He said,

The emperor said, you are grounded for some time.

I got a message.

It's crown prince who ambushed me.

Your Majesty.

I know.

You used to be the crown prince's subordinate.

You are an important official now.

The head of the cabinet.

Where do you know this?

Do you have any evidence?

You should think it over.

If all my three princes are my legal wife's sons, who should be the emperor?

Crown prince.

Great.

If it depends on ability rather than seniority,

who should be the emperor?

Crown prince.

What if he is not as amiable and honest as he appears,

and he assassinated me.

I don't believe it.

I hope you won't believe it, either.

Stubborn.

So stubborn.

So stubborn.

Great, so mortifying.

Except for the crown prince, you should select one.

Mortifying.

So mortifying.

Crown prince.

You have an ace.

Don't beat around the bush.

Just tell me.

Where is the girl who protected the emperor?

She is convalescing.

She blocked the arrow for the emperor.

Who is she?

She is going to marry imperial grandson.

After this, the emperor will confer the imperial grandson a title.

She protected the emperor, so she is the emperor's benefactor.

Think again.

So the emperor will touch you?

You have the emperor's benefactor in your hand.

Don't talk nonsense.

Crown prince.

You should tell your men to find out

her family background and horoscope birthday.

She will be one of the girls in the beauty campaign.

But I don't have her horoscope birthday.

But you have your son's horoscope birthday, right?

Just find a suitable one, the emperor won't be so scrupulous.

Ruowei.

Are you Ruowei?

Sister.

Be careful.

Mother.

Mother.

Father...

Father.

Father.

Son.

When you told us you would find a girl yourself, your father and I thought it was a joke.

Now I see.

You are such a mascot of our family.

Where does the girl come from?

You should make the list of her family and clan.

Your dad gave the memorial to the emperor.

No.

Mother.

What memorial?

You brought the girl back, right?

Your grandpa likes her.

They were so close.

She even protected him.

It's so great.

Yes.

So she will marry you.

Lord Yang.

Lord Yang.

Lord Yang.

Lord Yang.

As I know, prince Han is grounded.

So the emperor thinks he is going to take the throne?

So he plans to protect the crown prince?

Here is the imperial decree for Yang Shiqi.

Your Majesty.

Listen.

I never shortchange you.

I promote you to work in the cabinet from a beadle of the crown prince.

But you are ungrateful to form a clique with the crown prince,

and try to disrupt our regime.

Do you admit it?

I know you will over-defend yourself.

I will let Beizhen imperial department interrogate you.

That's all.

Yes, your Majesty.

Go.

Go.

Any more?

Any more?

Crown Prince

I have 17 subordinates.

The ministry of revenue transfered 3 of them.

So only 14 people are here.

What are you doing?

You.

No, dude.

Why are you here in the early morning?

Are you nuts?

Imperial grandson.

It's oral decree.

Let me see.

Who?

What a villain.

The assassin has nothing to do with my dad, ok?

Bullshit.

You.

You can defend yourself with the memorials.

The emperor wants to tell you.

He doesn't want to see you.

He wants to tell you, especially.

Well.

Everyone.

Rest it easy.

We will find out the truth.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Crown prince, take care.

Imperial grandson, take care.

Go.

Go.

What are you doing?

Go back now.

They just come here.

Go back.

Go back...

You forgot your grandfather's painting?

What painting?

Tiger comes down from the mountain.

Tigers eat people for no good reason.

People say, even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs.

Enough.

My dad is more vicious than tigers.

Ok?

Jesus.

What a hard cheese!

Son.

Ok.

Guards, I need a horse.

Yes.
