This is Vice Minister Zhang's residence.

He's indebted to the Central Protector.

Stay here

for the time being

and recuperate.

What about you?

Where are you going?

Such an unforeseen event with the Lu family

was caused by King Peng Cheng,

and King Jing Ling.

The Central Protector is in jail now.

I'm going

to avenge him.

This is

the Central Protector

asked me to give you this.

You're the one

that he worries the most.

You need to take good care of yourself.

Major Xue.

Back then, I was indebted to Central Protector Lu.

But never did I expect...

Here are some clothes and money that you requested for.

This is all I can do for you.

Thank you.

I'll leave my young lady with you.

Take care of her.

Don't worry.

I'll take good care

of Ms. Lu.

Major Xue.

Easy.

Easy.

Major Xue.

Be careful!

Ms. Lu.

You should leave now.

I can't take you in.

But you just said

that you're indebted to my brother

and promised Xue Qiu to look after me.

They have launched a manhunt for you.

Leave at once.

Go now!

Hurry!

-Ungrateful jerk! -Leave!

I don't want to stay

in such a place, not even for a second!

The Song of Glory

Episode 38

Search for Lu's surviving members.

Leave no stone

unturned.

Yes!

Zhang De Hall

Xu.

According to the lists,

Lu Yuan has a younger sister.

Lu Wan?

Lu Yuan's sister?

Launch a citywide search.

Yes!

Come with me! Launch a citywide search!

Take them away.

Yes.

Your Highness.

King Peng Cheng has sent Xu Zhan

to search the Lu's mansion

and found a large amount of food and jewellery.

How delightful!

Great!

Your Highness.

What about the surviving members of the Lu family?

Lu Yuan's sister escaped.

We've launched a citywide search.

I believe

we'll get her in no time.

Go back to King Jing Ling's mansion at once.

Send people to assist Fourth Brother

in capturing the surviving members of the Lu family.

Yes.

Fourth Brother?

Your Highness.

Could he

be King Jing Ling?

Who's that?

Stand right there!

After her!

Stand right there!

Stand right there!

Take her back to the Xie Residence.

Chief Secretariat.

Military Advisor Cao, don't move around.

Your injuries haven't fully recovered.

Injuries?

That day,

I was about to seek an audience with King Jing Ling.

But I found you badly injured

and were taken by two middle troops.

I think

something must be up.

So I sent my men

to save you.

But after we brought you back here,

you have been unconscious.

I was worried sick.

I wonder

what exactly happened

the other day?

About that. That day...

What's the situation now?

Any news from King Peng Cheng?

King Peng Cheng

has safely returned to Jian Kang City.

Also,

Lu Yuan has been arrested and brought to justice.

Lu Yuan has been arrested?

That's right.

Good thing His Highness is back now.

It's all good now.

Military Advisor Cao, don't worry.

That's great then.

Easy.

Thank you for saving my life.

I need to return to the residence now.

Should you need my help in the future,

just let me know.

I will

risk it all to do it.

You've overstated the case.

As His Highness's close aide,

you must be rushing back for some urgent matter.

Well.

It's the least

I can do.

Prepare the carriage.

Be sure to send Military Advisor Cao back safely.

Yes.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

Shen Leqing isn't in the residence.

And?

And?

I'm going to find her.

I went to find her in maid's room

and found out that she had secretly escaped.

Also, Chun Fang is also looking for her.

Why is the Great Consort Sun

looking for a maid in such a hurry?

Don't you find that strange?

Do you have to personally

go looking for Shen Leqing?

Just send Xu Zhan to do it.

Xu Zhan.

Yes.

Send people to find Shen Leqing.

Yes.

But...

Have you forgotten

that you promised to be my Consort Li?

Don't keep thinking

about fighting and all.

Besides

even if you wanted to find Shen Leqing

there are so many people

in my residence.

Isn't it better than looking for her yourself?

All right.

Came around now?

Your Highnesses, please enjoy the food.

Hurry.

Don't get in my way!

Don't get in my way!

Your Highnesses, look!

I can hold it steady now.

It won't spill out.

I know.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

San Bao!

You're finally back!

Where have you been?

I thought you were dead.

Didn't you... Did you escape?

I'm fine. I'm alive and kicking!

I have to come back

to enjoy your cooking.

Sure.

This is great. You came back in one piece.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I can finally see you, Your Highness.

I can come back alive to see you.

It's great that you're back.

Let me take a look at you.

You're perfectly fine.

Why are you weeping?

That's not nice to see.

Tell me.

What happened?

When I came back to Jian Kang City,

I was kidnapped

at the gate of King Jing Ling's mansion.

When I woke up, I was in the labour room.

After being rescued by Xiao Xin,

I was hunted down by the middle troops.

It was the Chief Secretariat who saved me

and hid me in his residence.

The Chief Secretariat?

That's right.

Who wanted to kill you?

The Great Consort Sun.

Move on.

You.

Move on.

You there. Hold on.

Wanted: Shen Leqing Reward: 2000

Conduct strict checks based on the drawing.

Yes.

Move on.

Miss, take a look.

Move on.

Lift your head.

Stop.

Move on.

All right.

Move on.

Have you found her?

No.

Keep looking.

Yes.

It's me.

It's you?

Xiao Xin!

What is it?

What's the matter?

What do you like?

I'll buy it for you.

I...

I don't think there's anything that I like

besides Lady Shen.

That you'll have to discuss with King Peng Cheng.

It's true.

Think about it. You, Lady Shen, and His Highness

are safe and sound.

How delightful!

I don't want anything!

I mean so much

to you?

Of course.

How about this?

Let's be sworn brother and sister.

How about that?

Sworn brother and sister?

Do you know

what that means?

Of course.

It means

we're tight!

Who wants to be your sworn brother?

What?

You don't want to?

Fine. Forget it then.

I have things to do. I'll go now.

Actually...

both of you make a good pair

of sworn brother and sister.

Hey.

If so

why don't you be her sworn brother?

It's not suitable for me though.

Well.

How is it suitable for me then?

Don't you know how to say something nice?

I finally got back here safely.

Shouldn't you show concern instead?

That's what I'm doing.

Look.

I was out.

I came back right away

as soon as I heard that you got back.

I didn't expect you...

to be flirting with her.

Who's flirting?

Who's flirting?

You!

Let's go and eat.

Hurry. I'm starving.

Your treat.

Royal Mother.

Why did you do that?

I have never forgotten

the kindness that you've shown me.

When I was little,

my mother went to war with Emperor Gaozu.

It was you

who protected me in troubled times.

At the age of seven,

Lady Zhou framed me

for murdering her son.

It was you who took the risk and begged for my life.

Only then Emperor Gaozu believed it

and spared my life.

It was from that moment on

my birth mother

told me to treat you as my mother.

I treat your birth mother

like my sister.

Since Emperor Gaozu's passing,

the Empress Dowager has been giving me a hard time.

It was your mother

who risked her life to beg

and helped earn the favour to leave the palace with my son.

All these years

I treat you like my own mother.

I respect you and honour you.

And my Sixth Brother.

I treat both of you

as my dearest family.

I want to keep both of you safe forever.

Like you.

I treat you

like my own son.

But...

But...

But still,

you wanted to kill me.

Kang.

I was wrong.

I was led astray

by Lu Yuan.

There was never peace

in the royal family.

Between the princes

there'll always be a rat race.

Kang.

I did all this

just to protect Xuan

from being used by Lu Yuan.

But now that it has come to this

it's too late to regret it now.

During the birthday banquet at Phoenix Stage,

you protected Lu Yuan.

As for the incident at Qixia Mountain Foundry,

you used Princess Consort Xie being poisoned as a pretext to stop me.

After the assassination on my wedding day,

you did everything in your power

to try to put the Shen family to death.

As for the Battle of the North,

you intercepted military news

and assisted Lu Yuan

to kill me.

Royal Mother.

With all this,

how do you expect me to believe

that you were merely led astray by him?

You knew everything.

Yes, I knew it all.

I can tolerate all of that.

You protected Sixth Brother

and wanted to gain power for him.

Royal Mother.

Have you thought about what he wants?

Were those things that you fought for

something that he wanted?

Have you thought about

how it pains him now?

How is he to face me

and face having a mother like you?

Should I tell him the truth

about all this?

Kang.

I...

Royal Mother.

All the court officials

are witnesses.

I'm afraid I couldn't...

Kang.

Kang.

Sixth Brother.

That's Royal Mother's favourite peony.

Royal Mother might beat you for that.

Xuan.

What are you doing?

It wasn't me. It was Fourth Brother.

Go now.

Royal Mother might beat you.

Kang, stop!

You two.

You're not allowed to eat tonight.

Fourth Brother.

Fourth Brother, look.

Where did you get that?

I stole it from the Imperial Kitchen.

Is it good?

Yes.

Here.

Thank you, Royal Mother.

Royal Mother loves chestnuts most.

When I was little,

I would peel it for her.

She would be so happy

and gave me snacks.

Royal Mother used to be nice to me.

She once made an outfit

for Sixth Brother and me.

But Sixth Brother snatched mine away.

She even punished him for that.

There was once I had chills and fever.

I kept complaining that it was too cold.

Royal Mother held me in her arms

and spent the whole night with me

without rest.

Because of that,

Sixth Brother even fought with me

and said I stole his mother.

As time goes by, things have changed.

Before we know it,

everything has changed.

I have long been aware

that Royal Mother was using me.

But I didn't think

she really wanted me dead.

It's not that it didn't cross my mind.

But I was just not willing to believe that.

Regardless,

you were indebted to Great Consort Sun.

Just like my master.

Among my seniors and juniors,

he loved me the most.

Whenever there was any good food

or interesting things,

he would save one for me.

Also,

he often took me

to the market

and bought me candied haws.

When I was by his side,

I was like a kid

who was free of worries.

But

he used me.

I was just

like a pawn to him.

I once hated him.

But in the end,

every one of us

should reconcile with the past.

After all

all the times we spent together

were real.

Also

he paid the price with his life

for the mistakes he made.

Honestly,

I don't feel

the slightest bit of hatred in me now.

What do you think I should do?

We are different.

I'm just an ordinary person.

Between love and hatred,

I have only myself to ask

before I make any decisions.

But as for you,

every choice you make

will implicate many things.

You need strike a balance for each choices you make

and you need to give everyone

a reasonable explanation.

Your situation...

is tougher than mine.

But

whatever you choose

I'll always support you.

Ren Shou Pavilion

Ren Shou Pavilion

Your Highness.

King Jing Ling was here just now.

He stood by the door and didn't come in.

I heard

His Highness headed to Cheng Xiu Pavilion.

Stop crying.

Great Consort Sun will be beheaded because assisted Lu Yuan

and attempted to murder King Peng Cheng

Fourth Brother.

Sixth Brother.

What are you doing?

I'm aware that Royal Mother is guilty.

But she's just a woman.

She made such grave mistakes

at Lu Yuan's instigation.

I hope

you'll spare her this once

for the sake of our years of affection.

Do you really think

that Royal Mother was used?

Royal Mother loves me dearly.

Because of me,

she made a momentary lapse in judgement

after being led astray by the bad guys.

No matter how badly she screwed up,

she's still my mother.

Fourth Brother, please spare her life.

I'll take her away from Jian Kang City

and never come back here.

Royal Mother and Lu Yuan were conspiring together.

All the officials are aware of that.

Tell me.

What should I do?

Fourth Brother.

Lu Yuan, the main culprit

has been convicted.

Royal Mother is just a woman.

What can she do?

As long as we leave Jian Kang City,

the officials will have nothing to say.

Leave Jian Kang City?

Both of us

must assist His Majesty

to build a peaceful world

and create

a prosperous world of harmony between man and nature.

Have you forgotten all that?

I didn't forget.

But in order to save Royal Mother's life,

I'm willing to give up everything.

Ren Shou Pavilion

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Stay here.

I'll go on my own.

I'm a sinner.

King Peng Cheng,

please punish me.

Mother.

I'm a sinner

who has committed a great crime.

I know I'm guilty.

King Peng Cheng.

Place righteousness before family.

Sentence me

to death.

Spare her life!

Fourth Brother, I'm begging you.

Xuan.

There's no need to beg for me.

Kang.

I've made a grave mistake.

I deserve it.

I...

I know I was wrong.

Kang.

Give the order.

Fourth Brother.

Fourth Brother!

Fourth Brother, no.

I'm willing to take the blame for Royal Mother!

I once hated him.

But in the end,

every one of us

should reconcile with the past.

After all

all the times we spent together

were real.

Between love and hatred,

I have only myself to ask

before I make any decisions.

Sun, the sinner,

is demoted to commoner

and to stay forever in the imperial mausoleum

to reflect upon herself.

She's never to enter Jian Kang City again.

Thank you, Fourth Brother!

I, the commoner,

thank you, Your Highness.

The prisoner, Lu Yuan, has been brought here.

You're dismissed.

Yes.

I'm the loser who failed on the brink of success.

Consort Li.

You're interested to see for yourself too?

From what I see,

you got what you deserved.

As a woman,

I know

that one should put country first before the family

and righteousness comes first before our own desire.

But you?

On Great Consort Sun's birthday,

you killed A Nu

in front of me.

In regards to the private foundry,

you stitched

the Shen family up.

In the Battle of the North,

you caused great harm to the country and the people.

Every single thing you did

is unforgivable!

Did you think

you could be in power and be the Supervisor of Politics?

Did you think

that position only represented power?

The one in that position

has to assume responsibility for the country and the people.

Do you have that?

Are you even worthy of it?

Everything can change

under power.

Liu Yikang...

You don’t even deserve

to mention his name.

It's time.

Be on your way now.

Take him.

-Yes. -Yes.

Lu Yuan, the sinner,

has been a minister for decades.

He has an insatiable greed for power

put the country in a state of political turmoil

and caused instability in Jian Kang City

which is violation of his duty to His Majesty.

And he set up the officials

and eliminated dissidents

for his own selfish desire

and disregarded the lives of the innocent.

He has committed innumerable crimes

and all of which are unforgivable.

Knowing that he has gravely sinned,

his death is nothing.

Let's hope that he'll not commit evil

and make up for his sins

in his next life.

Since the day you and I met,

our fight against Lu Yuan had started.

The investigation on the private foundry

and the private army in Wuchang.

Yet, we still fail to eradicate him once and for all.

Today

we finally did it.

Along the way,

my teacher's life

and countless loyal officials' lives were sacrificed.

How much innocent blood

was spilled

in exchange for this day?

Lu Yuan

disrupted the war

in the North

and attempted to murder King Peng Cheng

and killed the court officials.

He's convicted of these heinous crimes

and shall be executed at once.

Execute!

Lu Yuan, the sinner

Brother.

Brother.

Miss, are you all right?

Waner?

Good!

Good!

-Good! -Good!

Chief Secretariat.

Lu Yuan is dead.

A Nu.

This is the jar of wine

that you and I used to hide under the pear tree

in Xiuli Mountain.

You once said

that you would drink it

with your loved one on the night of your wedding.

Now

Lu Yuan is dead.

Your death has been avenged.

I brought it here

and may you rest in peace now.

Junior, A Nu's tomb

Junior, A Nu's tomb

A Nu.

I miss you so much.

I missed the time we played

and practised martial arts together.

We played the game of eagle catches chicks.

You were behind me and senior.

And I missed the Bone Cake that you made.

Junior, A Nu's tomb

A Nu.

If there's a next life,

we must be sisters.

We'll be born into the same family

and we'll have parents

and siblings.

And me.

Me too.

All right.

We'll be a family.

No hatred.

No killing.

We'll only be doing things

that we love.

We'll live for ourselves

and have a carefree life.

Live for ourselves.

Have a carefree life.
