HEAVEN OFFICIAL'S BLESSING

Episode 6

Ten Thousand Butterflies Come to Save You

Master, I want to learn...

My Prince.

Imperial Preceptor?

Napping again?

Write out the Moral Scriptures ten times.

Ten times?

I'd rather run ten laps around the capital!

Twenty, then.

Do it now, and make the characters beautiful.

Yes, Master.

What are you doing?

Teach me a new sword technique!

So you mastered the last one?

Yeah.

All right. What do you want to learn?

The one you used to save me!

It's not usable in actual combat.

I don't recommend it for you.

It worked, didn't it?

You deflected the strength of both their blows and saved me!

I have a question, My Prince.

Yes, what is it?

Let's say that two starving people were trying to steal each other's food,

and then a third person appears and tells them to stop fighting...

What do you think would happen?

They're hungry. So it wouldn't work.

Indeed.

Mere words can't create more food.

Which means that if that third person wishes to stop the fight,

he'll have to offer his own food.

My technique is the same.

I didn't deflect the strength of their blows.

Listen.

When a sword is unsheathed, there's no stopping its blow.

Something, or someone, needs to block its path.

If a third person tried to stop the fight by taking the blow,

he'd get hurt in the process.

There's no need for you to learn such a skill.

I understand.

Is there more you want to ask?

Master, what if the third person's food isn't enough?

Say he gave them food but they're still not satisfied,

and they started fighting even more because they wanted more food.

What if they tried to steal food from the third person, too?

Tell me what you think, My Prince.

I don't know.

Maybe he shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place.

Imperial Preceptor!

Hurry, prince!

I'm coming!

Qianqiu!

Qianqiu!

Imperial Preceptor!

W-What...

What happened here?

Father! Mother!

How... how could this happen?

This can't be real!

Father! Mother!

Master!

What's going on here?

What did you do?

Imperial Preceptor!

So you admit it.

Excellent.

How will he be punished?

I don't know.

The Emperor seemed quite fond of him.

Only at first.

During his second ascension, the two had a huge fight.

That's right. Prince Xianle even stabbed him several times!

He must still be angry about that!

But the emperor built Xianle's palace in the finest spot in the capital!

What's going on?

Does he have...

someone powerful backing him?

I have a request.

Speak.

Strip me of my divine status and banish me.

What?

I've never heard of such a request...

You don't need to do that! You ascended due to your own power!

Just duel me!

I do not wish to.

Why?

You fought me before!

The reason is simple. If we fight, you'll lose.

What?

I don't care. I'll put an end to this even if I die in the process!

I don't need your mercy!

Banish me, please.

What?

May I speak, Your Majesty?

Everyone, if Prince Xianle really changed his name

and killed the royal family of Yong An,

why would he let Prince Taihua, their son, escape?

Wouldn't the prince be the one he'd most want to kill?

I haven't known him for long,

but I saw him get badly injured from a strike

by the Deadly Scimitar in order to save Prince Taihua.

Qianqiu, if he truly hated your family,

why would he let himself get hurt protecting you?

We don't know that.

He might have had reasons!

That's right!

That weapon is a terrible, cursed blade.

I'll ask you all.

Is there anyone here besides the Emperor confident they could escape a blow from it?

And thus, there's something unusual going on here.

I'll ask you to consider that.

I'm jealous of our prince here,

having the Wind Master vouch for him so strongly.

My Pei Junior wasn't so fortunate.

I'll ask you not to compare the two matters.

This has nothing to do with Pei Junior.

I saw his evil deeds with my own eyes, and I heard him confess.

Okay, but Prince Taihua saw Xianle's evil deeds with his own eyes,

and also heard him confess.

That's true, actually.

How is this different from what happened to General Pei Junior?

He's admitted it!

Wind Master, what you've said makes me very happy.

That's enough.

Enough, everyone.

Taihua has always been impulsive.

No matter what you're doing, you need to react calmly,

and see what's really going on before you reach your conclusion.

I understand, Your Majesty.

And Xianle, if you're not going to tell us anymore,

you will be confined to your palace,

and I will come to visit you myself at a later date.

The two of you are forbidden from meeting until then.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You are very wise, Your Majesty!

Ask whatever you like when you interrogate him.

No matter what the results are, I swear I'll fight you in a duel to the death!

Farewell.

I have two requests, Wind Master.

Go ahead.

The boy I brought from the Ghost City...

Can you take care of him?

Of course.

And the second?

If General Pei tries to put the blame on Ban Yue, help her.

Got it.

I won't let him succeed.

Where is she?

In a pickled vegetable jar.

Oh, in a pickled vegetable jar.

In a pickled vegetable jar?

Yes.

She's in the chestnut temple.

Ensure she leaves her jar and gets some fresh air.

This way, prince.

Of course.

My first time visiting here and I'm under house arrest...

Not a good start.

I knew it.

Even the interior is exactly the same as the old Xianle Palace.

Sanlang... I wonder how you're doing.

After I'm banished,

I'll have to make it up to him, no matter what awful jobs I have to do.

Will it take decades? Or centuries?

I can spend the rest of my life atoning.

Sanlang's dice?

I guess I've used up all their luck, huh?

What, did you think it was Feng Xin?

He's probably not coming.

Then you're...

The Emperor confined you here and forbade Prince Taihua from coming.

But I wasn't forbidden.

You look disgusting, blood dripping from your right arm like that.

Nobody's going to come to give you medicine, right?

He's right.

The Emperor healed me enough for my arm to move.

But medicine will help me heal faster.

This is good medicine.

Thank you.

Did you really kill the Yong An royals?

How...

What are you doing here?

What? This isn't your palace.

You're allowed in, and I'm not?

Prince, what was just discussed at the Hall of Shen Wu...

It's true.

Every word I spoke at the Hall of Shen Wu today is true.

Spare us.

Who do you think you're fooling, with that gloomy look on your face?

This doesn't concern you. Begone!

Do you have the right to tell me to leave?

You might be talking like you're loyal,

but you couldn't bear to obey him and ran away, right?

Wait, stop it.

You want me to believe you can't bear to see your former lord like this, huh?

That's all nonsense.

Let's be honest. You just don't want to spend any more time with someone useless...

What the hell do you know?

F-Feng Xin!

Mu Qing!

Both of you...

I'm not a piece of shit like you!

Does it make you happy thinking he's done something evil?

You might look down on me, but what about you?

You're not much different!

Um... that's enough.

Don't touch me!

Why are they actually fighting?

They didn't used to be like this...

Mu Qing was quiet. He never raised his voice.

Feng Xin was no different.

He always did what I told him to. If I told him to stop, he would.

Once they grow up, you can't control them anymore...

I'll call for help from outside.

Shield!

Prince! Don't just stand there! Get behind me!

Don't touch that thing! It's dangerous, prince!

I don't think so.

It's cute.

Prince!

Sanlang...

Monster!

How dare you try to kidnap someone from the heavenly capital!

You're really arrogant, huh?

Let him go!

You've got no cause to complain,

after your behavior in my territory.

I said let him go!

If you can make me.

Crimson Rain Sought Flower!

Prince!

How did Sanlang...

Where are you, Prince?

Feng Xin.

What's going on? What's wrong?

Is there a reason to scream this loud?

I thought my eardrums would burst!

Prince? Which prince?

What's wrong, General Nan Yang?

Tell the Emperor!

Xie Lian fled!

Impossible... I'll go see.

He was under confinement...

There were many guards outside his palace.

How could he run?

He didn't run! Don't confuse everyone!

He did run. Along with a certain someone.

No, he was kidnapped!

Kidnapped? This is the heavenly capital!

Impossible!

Indeed! Right beneath the Emperor's very feet!

They say he's not there, though!

Servants at the Hall of Ling Wen say his palace is empty!

That's impossible!

No, it's true!

Can you hear me, Prince?

Where are you?

How bold!

Prince! Prince!

He must think us fools.

Which way did he run? We'll follow him!

Calm down, everyone.

It's been a while, everyone.

How've you been?

Have you missed me?

I haven't missed you lot at all.

But I have been kind of bored lately.

I haven't been in any good fights lately.

If anyone else is feeling bored and wants to challenge me, I'd welcome it.

Scum!

Let's go, Dear Brother.

Ignore them.

Sanlang.

Let's go.

He came all the way here just to save me?

That's right.

Why did I think he came here to save me?

He must've come to punish me for setting the armory and Paradise Manor alight.

Sanlang... I'm sorry.

Why are you saying sorry?

You were so kind to me, but I hid the truth about my mission, and lied to you.

You welcomed me, but I set fire to Paradise Manor,

and your armory, filled with all those wonderful weapons.

I'm sorry.

But I'll be banished soon, and then I'll find some way to atone...

What's happened to you?

Why do you need to atone to me?

I'm the one who hurt you!

You got hurt when I attacked you!

Oh, you mean my right arm?

Don't worry. It doesn't hurt.

See, it moves fine.

You were hurt because of me. Why are you smiling and apologizing to me?

And now you want to atone? Why?

Well, I did jump in front of your sword.

It wouldn't be right to be mad at you.

Sanlang?
