[Ever Night 2]

[Episode 27]

I know that some of these stupid mistakes

weren't done by you,

but by him.

So I want to know.

How is he going to take responsibility?

Where is Li Hunyuan?

His Majesty is resting.

Thirteenth Teacher has had a long and hard journey.

Why don't you sit down first

and have a cup of tea?

Please.

[Zeng House]

Your Majesty.

Empress Dowager, there are a lot of imperial guards outside.

They have surrounded the whole house.

They will soon come in.

What's meant to come will come.

- Empress Mother! - Little Sixer.

Stay still. I will be back soon.

If Ning Que and the princess

can't reach an agreement soon,

the few guards in my house won't be able to last long.

They are forcing me to act!

Empress Dowager! Please don't act rashly!

If you use Demon Sect cultivation methods here in the capital,

people will talk!

Please.

Give up the throne. We can talk about other things later.

It's impossible for Hunyuan to abdicate

because that would mean death.

If Li Hunyuan doesn't abdicate,

the whole of Tang Empire will go down with him.

Does Princess not know which is more important?

That woman belongs to the Demon Sect.

How many people in the court and in the army

do you think will support them?

I don't care how many people are supporting them.

I only care how many people are against them.

Then what?

Are you going to eliminate all of them

without caring about dragging the whole of the Tang Empire into chaos because of your behavior,

making the Tang Empire lose the ability to fight its outside enemies?

From the date that you changed the last edict,

chaos has already started in Tang.

If Tang is already in chaos,

why didn't I use the army to fight you?

I'm the daughter of my father.

I'm the Imperial Princess of the Tang Empire. No matter how much I want that woman to die,

I can't risk casting the whole of the Tang Empire into a civil war.

What about you?

Ning Que, the Tang Empire can't suffer any internal strife.

Nobody can bear the horrible result.

The only way now is

for you to support me and my brother.

This way, all of Tang will unite.

Also with the support of the Tang Academy,

maybe...

we can really turn things around.

Support the late emperor's edict

are my last words on that.

Then, what about the future?

That woman will kill me and my brother.

She will not.

Also, I'm protecting you both.

Ning Que, I understand.

You don't want to just let it go and you are really angry.

I feel the same.

In the past, I punished His Majesty harshly.

Harshly?

How many times did you slap him?

Five?

Three?

Once?

Ning Que, then what do you want me to do?

I just have one younger brother!

Should I just watch him die?

I took the risk to let you in the capital and talk to you in the palace.

I just want to beg you for this one thing!

Why can't you just do it?

I can.

Give up the throne.

Not possible.

Ning Que, think about Sang Sang.

She was brought up by you, too.

No matter how big the mistake is that she makes,

would you bear letting her get hurt?

I'm his older sister.

I'm just the same as you.

So that's why you always treated Sang Sang well.

When pouring the tea, only pour 70 percent.

The other 30 percent is a favor.

I wonder if the 30 percent favor

is enough for you to change your mind.

Changing the edict is punishable by death.

This 30 percent favor

is the guarantee that you and Li Hunyuan will live.

You still want me to die.

I once told Sang Sang that it's hard to live.

So no matter how hard it is, you should live well.

We will use this tea in place of wine and drink it for the late emperor.

I wish that his soul will rest in peace.

Ning Que...

Why do you have to push me like this?

Am I a sinner to Tang in your eyes?

Whether you are or not,

depends on whether you are willing to drink this with me or not.

What's wrong with you?

The tea...

There is poison in the tea!

Ning Que...

Hunyuan...

Hunyuan...

You poisoned the tea.

Royal Sister, I'm sorry.

If you hadn't drunk the tea, Ning Que wouldn't have drunk it either.

You actually did this to me?

Royal Sister, you need to understand my difficulty!

If Ning Que hadn't pushed me, why would I do something like this?

Animal! You animal!

I brought you up!

Royal Sister, I am able to use these tricks

because you taught them to me!

I just poisoned you both,

but you changed the edict!

Speaking of daring, you are so much better than me!

But after all, I need to thank you, too. If it wasn't for you,

how could I have become the Emperor of Tang?

Hunyuan...

You already are the Emperor of Tang!

You are the face of the entire Tang Empire!

You can't... use these dirty tricks

against people from the Tang Academy.

Why would you pity Ning Que?

So it must be love.

That's why you wouldn't marry again.

This man is the one who is in your heart!

Let me tell you this. From today,

you can't hit me again...

because I am the Emperor of Tang!

Ning Que, you still ended up lying under my feet.

Aren't you going to kill me?

Come! Thirteenth Teacher.

Please kill me!

Royal Sister, you wouldn't listen to me no matter what I said.

No matter what I said, you only listened to him in the end.

If I knew you would become like this,

I would have killed you myself!

Royal Sister, not only did you dare to change the edict,

you dared to kill the (late) emperor as well!

Exactly as I said before! You are so much better than me!

I didn't really want to hurt you.

But I heard everything that you just said!

I just wanted to be a wealthy idler!

But you used me as your chess piece.

Now that I am the emperor, he wants me to give up the throne!

Do you like him? Huh?

All right then. I will help you!

- Hunyuan! No, Hunyuan! - I will let you both die on the same day!

- Hunyuan! - I will bury you two together!

Hunyuan! Hunyuan!

You cannot kill him.

He is the only one that can save the capital now.

He is the guardian of the God Startled Formation.

Listen to me!

Listen to your sister!

I'm your sister. I'm your sister!

It's exactly because you are my sister!

If we were just sister and brother in an ordinary family,

we wouldn't be like this!

You--

Bravo. Really great.

Aren't you poisoned?

Poisoned?

Speaking of poison, I'm the most poisonous person in this world.

Don't you know that I've been demonized?

How could my Taotie fall for such a small trick like yours? (T/N: Taotie - one of the 4 evil creatures of the world)

I knew that you were nearby long ago.

And I knew there was something wrong with the tea.

It has come to this!

Let me tell you! My life from now on

will be decided by me alone! I will be the emperor!

Useless wretch!

For a throne, you would kill your own sister.

Hunyuan...

Hunyuan...

No...

Royal Sister! Save me, Royal Sister!

Royal Sister, save me!

Li Yu, I asked you to drink the tea

so that you can see clearly how good your brother is.

A person like him is not qualified to be the emperor!

Royal Sister! Quickly!

Royal Sister, I didn't really want to kill you.

Look. I prepared the antidote.

Royal Sister, take the antidote.

All right then. What should be done is done.

What should be reminisced about has been remembered.

Now it's time to travel on the road to hell.

- Royal Sister, save me! - Ning Que...

Ning Que...

Give him one more chance.

Give him one more chance!

He is my biological brother.

He is my only relative in this world!

Tomorrow...

I will summon the ministers tomorrow.

I will let Hunyuan announce an edict admitting his faults.

- Royal Sister! - I will admit mine, too! I will admit everything!

I will admit that the late edict was forged! I will admit it!

I'm begging you.

I beg you...

Just spare his life.

We will announce the abdication tomorrow at the court.

See you tomorrow.

Commander He, why are you not acting?

How are things going, in the palace?

Ning Que drank the poisonous wine. He is not far away from death.

Good. Brothers!

[Zeng House]

Do you admit to your crime?

Your Majesty. Empress Dowager.

Things are now settled in the palace. Let's go home.

Respectfully welcoming Your Majesty back to the palace!

Thank you, Thirteenth Teacher.

Thirteenth Teacher, my son and I are grateful to you.

Father, I am back.

But Sang Sang--

It's good that you are back.

What is this?

A tear.

What is a tear?

It's a kind of emotion.

I don't like this kind of emotion.

Although you don't like it,

you are still crying.

Why would I cry?

Because you are missing the young master.

Missing someone will make you cry?

It's not only missing someone. You cry, too, when you are happy.

You will cry when you are sad.

When you are angry, you will cry, too.

When you are anxious, you will cry as well.

This is ridiculous. You are looking for trouble.

Young Master said that

the meaning of life is to create change.

Great happiness and sadness, huge ups and downs, are what makes up a great life.

Or else, what's the difference between a live person and a dead one?

He will be dead soon.

Even the Heavenly Maiden cannot necessarily foresee everything.

You don't even know what's happening to yourself.

What's happening to myself?

It will change with the moon.

Darkening as the moon becomes full, brightening as the moon wanes.

What does it mean?

It means that you are affected by Fu Zi.

The moon is Fu Zi.

Fu Zi is the moon.

When your heart becomes dark,

like tonight, you will cry.

The Tang Emperor is here!

For the court session today, His Majesty will read his crime edict.

I was given great responsibility when I was 20.

I didn't follow the orders of the Heavenly God or make my people pleased.

I caused my people of Tang to suffer from war.

It's all my fault.

Ministers, please forgive me.

- Your Majesty, how can you say that! - Your Majesty, how can you say that.

I'm young and absurd.

I treasure relationships too much and am reluctant to do my job in the army and court.

And it caused the Heavy Armored Black Cavalry of our Tang to die in the lands of Yan.

It's all my fault.

I apologize to everybody in the army of Tang!

I'm sorry, General Xian Zhilang!

I'm sorry, General Xu Shi!

I'm sorry to the soldiers of the Heavy Armored Black Cavalry!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Thirteenth Teacher, I admit my faults.

I will follow the teachings of the Tang Academy from now on

and become a good ruler who is devoted to his duty.

I only have one younger brother.

The mistakes that he made

should be borne by me.

After the war, I will give the people of Tang an explanation.

His Majesty will confer on the sixth prince, Li Hupo, the title of Crown Prince.

Thirteenth Teacher can tell Empress Dowager this news in a moment.

You said earlier that you have only one younger brother.

You are wrong.

You have another one.

Your Majesty!

Now, you only have one brother.

Your Majesty. Your Highness!

Ning Que, you killed the emperor in public! That is treason!

Come! Imperial Guards!

Don't be rude!

The one I killed, the third prince named Li Hunyuan, usurped the throne.

Now that Li Huiyuan is dead,

there is only one son of the late emperor left.

The throne can only be ascended to by him.

Grand Prince, are you interested in this throne as well?

How can the matter of who succeeds to the throne be done so haphazardly?

Thirteenth Teacher, what you have done today

will make the situation in Tang worse.

- That's right. - What should we do?

You are all knowledgeable people yet you overthink and hesitate too much.

I know that you are afraid of internal strife and division.

You're afraid that the choice you make will cause the situation to worsen.

But now, you don't need to make any choices anymore.

The more you need not to be afraid. Because the whole of the Tang Empire

does not need to make a choice now.

♫ Why are you hiding regret in your eyes? ♫

♫ Who would understand how moving our past is? ♫

♫ How can we keep this tenderness? ♫

Empress Mother, why are you sad?

Upon coming back to the capital,

my heart cannot remain calm any longer.

The things are still here, but everybody is different.

Seeing some places make me sad.

Empress Mother, I've always wanted to ask you this.

What is it?

When Emperor Father learned of your identity,

what was the first thing he said?

He didn't say anything.

I remember that

at that time,

he boiled a pot of

his favorite flax porridge.

I asked him,

"Why did you cook porridge?"

He said,

"Since you are here to kill me,

I'd rather become a ghost with a full stomach."

Then, what happened next?

Then...

he married me.

I became the Empress of the Tang Empire.

Emperor Father was always open, aboveboard, generous, and calm.

I can't compare to him.

Little Sixer,

your father picked you because of your character.

Just remember. Don't think too highly of yourself.

Don't think too little of yourself either.

Just devote yourself to the business of the empire

and then you won't let

your father down.

Don't worry, Empress Mother. I will govern Tang well.

Good boy.

Your Majesty.

Did you hear that?

Little Sixer will not let you down.

Kneel!

- Long Live Your Majesty for ten thousand years! - Long Live Your Majesty for ten thousand years!

Rise!
