Although the inherit clan of Lang Ya are long gone,

they were definitely a great leader

since they had gained high prestige among the people.

They are also related to your grandfather,

hence they would be a great match for you.

The princess of Wang family

has just completed the mournings of her grandmother

and returned to Jian Kang City along with her father.

You should meet up with her

I am fully committed to work

and have no interest

in starting a relationship right now.

I'm so sorry, mother.

Xuan,

look at these.

Mother,

I really do not want to get married.

You don't want to choose any of these women?

Do you

already have a crush on someone else?

That's right.

I have had a crush on someone for a while now.

Which family is she from?

Xuan,

are you facing

a difficult situation?

She doesn't feel the same for me,

so it isn't worth mentioning.

Like a dust on land

and mud underwater

which belong in two different worlds,

The Song of Glory

will fate ever bring us together?

No love in this world

Episode 8

can be controlled by force.

You are right, mother.

Love is not within our control.

That's it,

please do not pressure me anymore.

See you, mother.

Xuan!

Why don't you understand

my effort?

I've heard that

the princess of Wang family

is a knowledgeable and kind-hearted woman.

His Highness might change his mind

after meeting up with her.

Your Highness, please don't be so worried.

Isn't it the fifteenth of the month today?

Is King Peng Cheng

together with the Princess Consort now?

I've heard that Jiao Hua Pavilion

had only prepared dinner for one today.

Let's go!

We need to complete our mission.

What are you looking at?

Your skills are quite impressive.

Who are you exactly, old man?

I am

Fourth Brother.

Whatever.

What are you up to?

I am searching for something.

What are you looking for?

Something that can be used to unlock this.

Are you planning to wait here doing nothing?

If it wasn't for this male outfit I'm wearing,

I would definitely have unlocked this

if I had a hairpin with me.

Hairpin?

I have one.

Why would a tough man like you

own a hairpin?

Isn't this mine?

Why do you bring along

my hairpin with you all the time?

I'm worried that you might look for me one day.

Give it to me.

You...

Could you try harder as well?

This hairpin has got built-in hidden compartments?

Why do you have to say it out loud?

Thank you.

I shall take this back.

What do you mean?

Give it back to me!

It belongs to me!

Sure,

you can have it back

if you return my jade to me.

I do not have it with me now.

You're bleeding.

Could you please

be more gentle?

Are you out of your mind?

I thought you wanted to kill him.

I wouldn't do that

since he isn't a bad person.

What are you looking at? Let's go!

Stop!

There they are!

Stop running!

Stop!

Stop running!

Let's go!

What are you doing?

Keep quiet,

we're coming back here again.

Are you all right, Young Master?

Yes.

Who are these people?

Stop!

They are people of justice,

please do not harm them.

Understood.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Why hasn't His Highness return yet?

My legs are already numb.

Here's some water.

Have a drink.

Why aren't there any news yet?

Let me have a look outside.

Please do not move.

You look exactly like His Highness

in this position.

Why must he insist on going out

when it's clear that its the fifteen of the month today.

What am I supposed to do?

Your Highness,

I have been serving you since young.

We both

grew up together.

How could you do this to me?

My back.

Has His Highness returned?

The Princess Consort has arrived.

Why are you still standing there?

We would all get in trouble if the Great Consort arrive.

Hurry up and get changed

to give us a helping hand.

Understood.

Give it back to me!

You can trade it with my jade.

Why would I

carry your jade around with me?

Give it back to me!

Looks like you are quite a sneaky person

for being so skilled in

opening a lock using a hairpin.

I'm not sneaky!

Let me warn you.

I am going to tear your mouth

if you continue being so nonsensical.

You are very violent

for a woman.

Stop it.

So what if I don't?

What do you want to do?

I am not an easy person.

So it's fake!

Give it back to me!

Looks like you are

a sneaky person as well.

Tell me,

who are you exactly?

Why are you disguising yourself as someone else?

I am a businessman.

Of course I'd have to disguise myself

in order to deal with Lu Yuan.

Are you telling the truth?

Are you doubting me?

Do you not believe that

there are also other

ambitious people like yourself?

I realised that

the craftsmen in the foundry

were skinny and worn out.

I wonder what kind of

evil mission

are they up to.

Many innocent people will be sacrificed

for as long as Lu Yuan remains alive.

Do you understand how a wolf pack works?

There is a leader

in every pack of wolves.

All the other wolves

obey instructions given by their leader,

from traveling, hunting to mating.

Do you know what happens

to the pack of wolves

when their leader dies?

They continue to thrive.

But this time,

with a new chosen leader.

Lu Yuan

is the leader within the wolf pack.

If he is killed,

there will only be a mess among the pack,

causing a havoc everywhere

without a change.

The inherit clans would still be oppressing one another,

whereas the people would lose everything.

Even the foundry

would remain the same,

only with a new leader.

So, are we just going to sit around

watching Lu Yuan

do evil and sacrifice lives without doing anything?

Definitely not.

Peace cannot be achieved

in just a day

nor can it be gained

merely by killing a wolf leader.

Is that why

you reported the corruption done by Lu family

to the Ministry of Justice?

The problem can only be fully solved

when it is let known to the public

so that it law actions can be taken.

Law actions?

The Emperor has fallen ill

while the horrible King Peng Chen

misuses his power.

How can law actions be taken

when a dishonest person is in power?

Lu Yuan is going to get away

with his wrongdoings

with only

a slight reduce in his power.

Although the horrible King Peng Chen

owns great power,

his actions are lawful and transparent.

Justice exists in humanity.

If all evidences are clear,

the truth

will definitely come out.

All right,

let's try to find as many evidences as we can

to punish Lu Yuan using law actions.

Us?

This ink smells so good

and sticks so well onto the pad.

Tough as a jade, smooth while in use

and every drop of it are like paint.

So pure and natural.

Every time when it is time for you to spend the night together,

His Highness would always either claim to have fallen sick

or just disappear.

Tonight,

he even asked Military Advisor Cao to disguise as him.

The main reason His Highness requested Military Advisor Cao to disguise as him

is to prevent anyone from realizing that

he has left the mansion.

Hence, he is not doing so to avoid me.

Everything that

His Highness does

is backed by his own rationals.

As his wife,

I should obey

and respect his decisions.

I'm only afraid that

he has gone out to have fun

and forgot about the date today.

Since when do you have the right

to debate about matters

between His Highness and I.

Go kneel outside Jiao Hua Pavilion tonight.

I'm sorry.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Royal Mother.

Your Highness.

You really are the great woman of our inherit clan.

You are really calm.

Today

is the day you are to spend the night with His Highness.

Yet you are still here

creating artwork peacefully

even though he isn't around.

Aren't you worried about

his whereabouts?

Royal Mother, His Highness

did spend some time drawing with me just now.

Perhaps he went out for a walk

due to boredom.

That's enough.

You have been turning a deaf ear

to my advice

all these years.

Since you are now a part of this family,

you have your responsibilities.

As a Consort of the royal family,

firstly, you are not supposed to

allow your husband to fool around.

Secondly,

not being able to reproduce offspring

for the family after such a long time

is an act of irresponsibility.

Tell me,

where exactly has His Highness gone to?

Please forgive me, Royal Mother.

You failed as a Consort of the family,

do think about your mistakes carefully.

Chun Fang.

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Royal Mother.

Why are you kneeling down, Princess Consort?

Come on.

Today is the fifteen of the month,

yet you have chosen to

leave the mansion.

The Princess Consort is at fault

for not being able to make you stay.

I am teaching her a lesson.

That's not true, Royal Mother.

Since the Princess Consort is very talented in painting,

I have asked her favour

to paint me a nice scenery artwork.

Princess Consort,

thank you very much.

Kang, what happened to your neck?

I received news that

your old illness is back again.

Meanwhile, I have also heard that

Loquat leaves grown under the midnight dew

is the cure for it.

Hence, I went to Xiu Lin Garden

to pluck some Loquat leaves for you.

I might have scraped myself

accidentally during the process.

San Bao.

Thank you, Your Highness.

That's great!

In that case, I feel so much relieved.

Princess Consort,

please accompany His Highness.

I shall leave now.

I shall leave now, too.

Where is my bracelet?

Lu

Who did this?

Thank goodness the robbers

had only cleared

the courtyard area outside of the foundry.

All the secret passages remained untouched.

They did not realise our store room

and production site as well.

The only trouble now

are the craftsmen

and

King Jiang Dong's Yuchi Sword.

Did they steal the Yuchi Sword as well?

Son, what are we supposed to do now?

If we fail to present

the birthday gift on time,

we would not only

lose our money

but infuriate King Jiang Dong as well.

Son!

Son!

Your injury...

Father,

so what if we lose some money?

Our family

have got more than enough money.

Son,

that's not true!

Not only do you have to build an army and make new weapons,

you have to please all the kings as well

which would require lots of money.

Son,

you need to find all ways

to get the Yuchi Sword back in your hands.

All right,

I will.

Have you managed to identify the robbers?

It's Huo Yun.

What?

It is that deserter again!

Previously,

he robbed

one of the gifts meant for King Chang Sha.

Son,

where is your Black Armored Army?

Son,

do not forgive him again this time.

All right.

What about my Yuchi Sword?

I shall get it back for you.

That's great!

I shall leave first, then.

How long does it take to complete this new batch of darksteel?

At least 20 days.

That's unacceptable.

We need to speed up the process.

You have 10 days to complete it.

If you're short of manpower,

kidnap more people from the village to work.

In the meantime,

close down all the secret passages

and entrance immediately.

Do not let anyone find out about the production site.

As for Huo Yun and his gang,

just kill them all.

Understood.

All reading materials from the previous government

are placed here.

Anything confidential or involving the army

has an extra copy

kept in Cang Shan Pavilion.

Anything that is not found here

cannot be found elsewhere.

Ministry of Rites,

water conservancy,

defense...

What about armory?

Please look for reading materials on armory for me.

Understood.

I've found it.

Your Highness,

please be careful.

Indeed,

my memory did not fail me.

This is it.

How dare Lu Yuan...

Your Highness,

what's going on?

Back in the days where Emperor Gaozu was still a General,

a Celestial Stone was found in Qian City.

During that time, there was a

skilled craftsman around Emperor Gaozu.

He ground the Celestial Stone into powdered form

and soaked it in water,

resulting in a multiple-refined steel.

Any weapon that was made using the multiple-refined steel

was so tough that we had gained victory in many wars.

It was also known as darksteel.

It was extremely tough?

In that case, why wasn't this method of creating weapons

being carried on?

It was because the craftsman died.

Was he murdered?

No.

Anyone who had touched the Celestial Stone

or the water it was soaked in

had all died.

So were all the craftsmen in the foundry?

Qing.

Mother.

I'm aware of my mistakes.

I shall never repeat it again, mother.

Qing.

Qing.

Even though you are not

my biological daughter,

I have raised you

and both of your brothers

equally since young.

The Shen family

emphasize very much on loyalty.

Yet, you

kept making huge mistakes.

I haven't been visiting you recently

because I hope that

you could consider about your wrongdoings.

Are you aware of them now?

Yes, I admit my mistakes now.

I really do, mother.

That's great,

that's great.

Mother.

Does that mean

I can go outside again?

Qing.

Your father and I

have set a marriage for you

with the Tong Chengluo family.

Although they are not powerful,

they are a decent family.

Moreover, they are related to your original clan.

If you are willing to marry into their family,

they will definitely treat you well.

Are you chasing me away, mother?

Mother,

do you really not want me anymore?

Qing,

a tree that is grown in the forest

depends heavily on the type of soil

to help it grow into either a healthy or a weak tree.

It is about time to put an end

to your reckless behaviour.

A comfortable environment

may not suit you best.

I truly understand that

both of you are doing this

for the sake of me.

All right,

I agree to this marriage.

Where is my bracelet?

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Brother Huo Yun!

Hurry up!

Brother Huo Yun!

We don't have much time left.

Our identity have been exposed,

we need to leave this place immediately.

Let's get going.

All right. Hurry up!

Leave now. Hurry up!

Hurry up! Let's go!

Lu Yuan's Black Armored Army.

Who are you?

Lead the craftsmen away from this place now.

Leave immediately!

Stop!

Leave now!

What a sharp sword.

Let's go!

Have a drink.

Please be careful.

Be patient.

You will be fine soon.

Please be careful.

Just endure it for a little while more.

Please be careful.

Hold on, please.

Thank you, swordswoman.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

Have some water.

Thank you.

Are you a follower of the person in charge in Lu's mansion?

Just like you,

we are investigating the foundry.

Just the other day,

we entered the foundry using a fake badge.

However, it was such a coincidence that

you have robbed it instead.

I see.

Thank you for your help today.

You're welcome.

You are all doing it

for the sake of protecting innocent people anyway.

By the way,

you did mention that

you used to be part of the Black Armored Army.

Why did you end up as a robber instead?

We used to be soldiers

whose goals were to serve the country

using our bodies.

However,

the world is in such a mess now.

The Black Armored Army

has changed from

a fearless group of warriors

under the govern of Emperor Gaozu

to a weapon used by Lu family

to compete with other inherit clans and oppress the people.

Hence, a few of us refused to continue serving the army.

Having left with no other options,

we had to become robbers instead.

I admire you

for being a person of justice.

You are exaggerating.

I am too weak.

I could only save a few of them

even after giving my best.

There are still a lot of people in the foundry

whose lives are at stake.

The only problem is that

I am still unable to find the entrance.

Young lady,

since we both have the same goal,

could you please help me

to save the lives of the craftsmen?

I shall do my best.

Thank you so much, young lady.

It's you again,

Lady Shen.

You really are trying to kill me, aren't you?

You have even managed to find the foundry now.

Let me see how tough

your life is.

Who else would be able to

save you this time?

Send this back to the Shen's Mansion.

Understood.

Major,

major.

Please do not put me in such a difficult situation.

Please don't do this.

Is it too little?

No,

I do not mean that.

Major,

I am more than willing to help you.

However, previously

due to my plan of

killing Lady Shen,

the Shen family

has grown hatred towards me.

My niece is also planning to

get married into the Tongcheng family soon.

I really do not have any ways

to enter Shen's mansion.

So, you can't do it?

Perhaps,

perhaps my niece

would be able to help me.

Are you referring to

the Young Lady Shen?

That's right.

Feng.

Put down your sword.

Put it down!

Do you know that Sister Zijin

has been invited by Great Consort Sun to discuss about her marriage?

Yes, I do.

Do you?

So, why are you still not making any moves?

I have previously told you to

get permission from our parents

to ask Sister Zijin for her hand in marriage.

If your marriage with her had been arranged,

it is impossible for Great Consort Sun

to have invited her.

If Sister Zijin

is that important to you,

how could you be so ignorant about it?

If you dare

betray Sister Ziijin's

feelings for you,

I shall never forgive you!

That day,

when Sister Zijin dropped by our mansion,

I saw you waiting for her.

Since you do have feelings for her,

why are you unwilling to

seek her opinion

about her feelings towards you?

She is the daughter of an inherit clan

whereas I am nothing but a warrior from a non-powerful family.

We are not

meant to be together.

Well, I am going to

get married into King Peng Chen family soon.

The gap between our families

shall be overcome soon.

This is why

Shen family should not

face a worse situation because of me.

However,

have you seek permission from your heart?

Does it agree?

How does it truly feel?

It has always been a mystery

of why people fall in love.

If you find one,

please do not give up easily.

What about you, then?

Do you have feelings for King Peng Chen?

My marriage has already been decided,

but yours isn't.

If you have found love,

do not lose it out of cowardice.

Greetings, Great Consort.

The inherit clan of Lang Ya

indeed has got manners.

Have a seat, please.

Thank you, Great Consort.

According to General Ji Can,

King Jing Ling is feeling unwell today

and is taking a rest now.

He will not be coming over.

Come over here,

let me have a look at you.

You look very beautiful.

What is your name?

Your Highness,

my name is Zijin.

Zijin?

Young Zijin with a joyful heart.

What a special name you have.

A princess

with such great beauty and personality

is considered outstanding

among the women in our inherit clan.

You are definitely a gem.

Your Highness has such great taste.

Your Highness is being too kind with your words.

Have you plan on your marriage?

My daughter isn't outstanding.

She is still single although she is now 21 years old.

What a waste.

That's not true.

My father has taught me a lot about

filial since young,

which is the main reason

I have yet gotten married.

It isn't a waste at all.

How is that so?

Five years ago,

my father had plan a marriage for me

with He Dongliu family's

eldest son.

Coincidently,

Brother Liu's mother

passed away suddenly.

In order to show our respect,

our marriage was postponed for 3 years.

Only one year has passed

and Brother Liu came to offer

a marriage proposal again.

My father rejected him

because this actions showed disrespect

towards his deceased mother.

Later,

my father planned another marriage for me

with a son from the Cui family.

When the Cui family was about to offer a marriage proposal,

the mother in the family

died of illness out of a sudden

and we had to postpone the marriage for 3 years.

Unfortunately,

the Cui family had taken in

so many concubines.

I then rejected the marriage proposal

out of anger.

Although I am

21 years old this year,

and there is a saying among the people of the inherit clan

that older women face difficulties in finding love,

yet I insist on either

getting married to

a man who shows respect to his parents

or not to get married at all.

Your Highness,

what do you think?

That is definitely a right thing to do

as it is part of the inherit clan's culture.

My biggest wish now is that

nobody would pass away again

when I am planning to get married the next time,

or the marriage proposal would have to be postponed for 3 years again.

Bring them forward.

I heard that

the Red Jewel Box from Yu Ni House

is extremely effective

Yu Ni House

for skin cleansing,

hence I have prepared this gift specially for you.

Thank you Your Highness.

I have seen this item before.

I once met

a fairy

on the top of a mountain in Lang Ya.

She told me that

there was once a craftsman

who made this Red Jewel Box

out of the best stone

using the Flying Water Technique and a lot of effort.

The fairy felt really touched

by the sincerity of the craftsman

which resulted in love between the two people.

I really admire their story!

What...

What is she saying?

Please forgive us, Your Highness.

I have been too lenient with her.

I usually

love making wines,

hence my daughter

loves drinking.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Is she like this at home, too?

She is always drinking

and getting drunk.

Did you manage to find them?

Soon.

Why does this batch of darksteel create so much noise?

It should take a few more days.

The foundry in Qixia Mountain

should no longer remain operating.

After the completion of this batch of darksteel,

all the craftsmen, including the guards...

Understood.

I am going to kill him.

We still have no idea about

the location of the craftsmen now.

The craftsmen would still die

even if you kill him now.

Look at the bigger picture, please.

All right, then.

Young Lady Shen,

you really are a brave person.

Military Protector Lu is more than an ordinary person.

It is my pleasure

to be able to serve you.

Moreover,

we both have the same enemy.

How am I supposed to trust

someone from the Shen family?

Years ago,

Shen Tingzhang was the culprit

behind the death of my family,

whereas my lost today

is also caused by the Shen family.

I really want to take back my rights.

Hence, I would do anything

you want me to.

Is that so?

This bracelet

has been poisoned.

Stop,

you will die.

I am not afraid of anything

as long as I am able to fulfill my wish.

Have a seat.

This is

the lotus soup

I have made specially for you.

Drink some

while it's warm.

Come on.

Take a sip.

Does it taste good?

With its seed unremoved,

this lotus soup tastes bitter at first,

yet its aftertaste is really sweet.

Drink more.

Lige.

Did you

lose any of your belongings

recently?

My bracelet!

How did it end up with you, mother?

I thought...

You thought it had gone missing, right?

But, mother,

where did you manage to find it?

This...

I found this bracelet

in the garden.

I have always find you

to be

a reliable person.

Who knew

you could also be

as careless as Feng.
