Original subtitles

It was all because he married me

and with the support of the Wang's family

he ascended the throne

Now if he wants to appoint another prince-in-waiting

he has to get the permission of us

You're so domineering

Domineering

You're the same as your brother

Is there any problem if Zilong bceomes the Emperor?

Look at the current Emperor

He's half crazy and half stupid

Is he still able to rule the state

or govern his subjects?

His Majesty

was ruined by the Wang's family

Don't say anything else

I, Wen Zongshen, would rather die

than betray His Majesty

and work for you

Wen Zongshen

Now that you're so ungrateful

then don't blame me for being cruel

Zilong is my son

As long as he can ascend the throne

even if it's to fight against you

I would show no mercy

My Lord

Good news

What good news?

The rear sentry reported

Duke Huan has sent provisions here

to support us

Duke Huan?

Said it's the Prime Minister's order

It makes sense

Duke Huan and the Prime Minister are also relatives by marriage

You can always rely on people on your own side at critical moments

When will his provisions arrive?

It's said that the provisions will arrive in just a few days

My Lord, then tomorrow...

Tomorrow?

We don't have to retreat, do we?

Your Majesty

It's time to take the medicine

I don't want it

Your Majesty

Her Majesty asked me to serve this to you

It will cure your illness, Your Majesty

I feel sleepy today

Your Majesty

Your Majesty, please get up

Your Majesty, Your Majesty

I don't want it

It's not up to you, Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Your Majesty, come on

Come on!

Your illness will gone after taking it, Your Majesty

Take it quickly!

What are you doing?

Your Highness

I was asked by Her Majesty

to serve the medicine to His Majesty

Did Her Majesty ask you to

force His Majesty like that?

I have no choice

Get out

Your Highness

His Majesty hasn't taken the medicine yet

Get out

Uncle

It has only been one year

What happened to you?

It's all my fault

Awu shouldn't have left here

I shouldn't have left you alone

If Awu had been here

uncle would not have suffered like this

Uncle

It's Awu

Awu's here?

Can you recognize me?

It's Awu

It's good you're here

Sorry to make you suffering much

Awu

I heard that you have

hysteria, right?

I don't have hysteria

My mind is clear

What do you mean?

If I don't act like that

I will die

I can keep it secret to anyone

but you

What's on earth is going on?

Awu

There's something

that I must tell you

What Xie Yuan, Xu Shou

and Du Meng did

was acquiesced by me

It was you

who wanted to kill Xiao Qi and Me

This is the struggle for power

Your dad is an influential minister

and your husband a powerful general

Both of them are threat to the monarch

No matter who the Emperor is

he will manage to eliminate them

Xie Yuan

Xu Shou and Du Meng

were the arrows that the Emperor shoot to Xiao Qi

Awu

However, the Emperor and uncle are two different roles

What the Emperor should do

is not what your uncle are willing to do

Will you forgive uncle?

Hurry up! Hide!

Awu

All right!

Thank you, You Majesty.

Your Highness

What's wrong with you?

It's OK

No, it's not

Yuxiu can tell it

What can you tell?

Yuxiu is just a maid, I'm not supposed to ask

However

you have been depressed since getting out of the Shiqian Hall

What happened to you? Yuxiu is worried

I have never imagined that

His Majesty

my uncle is so seriously ill

I feel upset

Your Highness

Don't worry

There're so many doctors in the palace

They will surly cure His Majesty

Your Highness

You...

I'm Xue Dao'an

Enunch Xue

What's wrong with you?

Your Highness

I am

wronged

Please stand up

What on earth has happened?

Your Highness

As long as you see Her Majesty

you will know everything

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Princess Yuzhang is here

She doesn't look happy

Is Awu's here?

Your Highness

Aunt

You may get up

Awu

I miss you so much

You haven't visited me for such a long time

I also miss aunt everyday

Come on

Knife!

Evil Empress

Watch out, Your Majesty!

Aunt Liao

Evil Empress, I must kill you today

Awu

Yuxiu

Awu, Awu, Awu

Your Highness, stand aside

You're making troubles to the state

Your Majesty

I...

Awu

Awu. Aunt

Awu. Aunt

It's alright

Awu. Aunt, don't be afraid

Where's the doctor?

I'll go and check it

Your Highness, Doctor Shen is here

Please let him in

Your Highness

How's Aunt Liao?

She's already passed away

Please have a look at Yuxiu

All right!

Your Highness

You'd better stay elsewhere

All right!

Styptic powder

How's it, Doctor Shen?

Please hold on, Your Highness

Your Highness

The assassin was very cruel

She was cut very deeply

close to the heart

And she has lost too much blood

I'm afraid

she's very hard to survive

Doctor Shen

please try your best to save her

Don't worry, Your Highness

I will definitely try my utmost

It was to save me

that you lost your life

You're always loyal to me

Now that you've gone

the next one is me

Your Majesty

This is the medicine the doctor prescribed

to calm you down

Get away!

Get away!

You coward slaves

You all hope I can die

You all hate me

Get out, all of you!

Aunt

What's going on?

It's alright

It's all gone

Don't worry, aunt

Awu's here to stay with you

It's alright

Awu

You saved me

Otherwise I would have died today

They all hate me

Awu, do you hate me?

Aunt

Don't think too much

Aunt

See

When the Crown Prince ascends the throne

you'll be the most exalted mother in this country

No one would do harm to you

Crown prince will protect you

That's right

My son is about to become the Emperor

I will watch him sitting on the dragon throne

and become a good Emperor eulogized by generations

But

he hates me

They all hate me

He would rather die

than ask me for help nor help me

There's also him

who betrayed me for my whole life

He even wanted to depose me

and the son of us

I don't know what's my fault

I've been cherishing him all my life

I've forborne a lot

But

What else does he want from me?

What else can I do?

Aunt

Your Majesty

What's wrong with Her Majesty?

Her Majesty has been acting like this recently

Neither doctors nor monks can cure her

It's said that

the ghost of Concubine Xie is haunting here

Nonsense!

My fault!

Hurry up to pick up the medicine

Yes

Anyone who stops Zilong from the throne

shall be killed

They shall be killed

They shall be killed

She takes me as a chess piece

She push me out personally

She deceived me

and abandoned me

Maybe I used to hate her

I don't know whether I should see her as the Empress

or my dear aunt

But when she was pointed by the knife

I couldn't help but stood in front of her

without any hesitance

Awu

Father

Awu

Awu

Don't be scared

Daddy is here

Don't be scared

As long as you're safe

As long as you're safe

Please bless mother

to recover soon

and let all these unpleasant things

gone

It is alright

Her Majesty was not hurt

Just let her take a rest

Awu

The assassin was Enunch Xue from my father's side?

Maybe

because mother relegated him to the Jinshan Office

so he hated her?

It's not that simple

Eunuch Xue has served in the palace for years

He's loyal to His Majesty

What made him do that at the risk of his life?

I was happened to be at Shiqian Hall that day

Eunuch Xue secretly

changed the medicine that father take everyday

Taking his hard work for years into account

mother only punished him to do hard labour

Who can imagine this bastard is so malicious

She's too tenderhearted

Slaves who act rude because of master's indulgence

should be killed immediately

The Hall of Zhaoyang was strongly guarded in ordinary days

so he has no chance to take actions

He must have planned for it for a long time

He took the opportunity of you being back

and took you as an excuse

to got into the adytum naturally

Even dump him to the unmarked common graves

would still be a mercy

If I have known this before

I would have him torn limb from limb and lashed for 500 times

Long'er

has ascended the throne

Mother

Mother

Long'er is here

Her mind is not clear

Ever since she was scared

she has been talking nonsense

Talking nonsense?

What kind of nonsense?

Has anyone else heard it?

There's only me

It's vague

I didn't hear it clearly

Her Majesty has been working hard for days

She's just a little delirious after being scared

There shouldn't be any big problem

It's all thanks to Yuxiu

Otherwise I couldn't see father anymore

Sure, what a great luck

Your Majesty

Your Highness

Prime Minister

Zitan?

It's your turn

Come on, have a seat

It's your turn

Father

I am Zilv

It's your turn

Prime Minister

Father's hysteria is getting more and more serious

Zilv is stupid

I can do nothing

but play chess with him

to make him laugh

Your Highness, you're so filial

His Majesty will definitely feel it

Prime Minister

do you have anything to report to father?

I will leave now

It's not necessary

I'm here to tell Your Majesty

in the Hall of Zhaoyang just now

an assassin tried to kill Her Majesty and Princess Yuzhang

How are them?

Thanks to Your Majesty's bless, they are all safe

Who is the assassin?

Who are so audacious?

He's not anyone else

but Xue Dao'an who used to serve Your Majesty

Xue Daoan?

Where is he, Prime Minister?

He was killed by spears

and dumped to the unmarked common graves outside the city

It's my turn or...

It's your turn?

For a slave who assassinate his master

it's a mercy to just kill him

It's your turn

Your Majesty

It's time to take the medicine

Eunuch Jin

Just put it here

I'll serve father later

Well...

Your Highness

His Majesty's health is the most important

Don't miss the time

It's your turn

I'm about to win

Father

Let's quit it

We have to take medicine

Zitan?

Go ahead, it's your turn

Wanna use the toilet

Wanna use the toilet

Eunuch Jin, let me do it

Take care, father

Father, are you alright?

Awu

Zitan?

Awu

I heard that something bad happened in the palace

So I rushed here to see you

Thank you for keeping me in mind, Your Highness

Are you hurt? Let me have a look

I'm fine

Awu

Lord Yuzhang is not home today

so it's not convenient to invite Your Highness in

Please forgive me

Your Highness, please go back home

Eunuch Jin

Your Majesty

I'm here to take care of father

Thank you, Your Highness

Father

Father

You...

Kneel down

Kneel down

Father

Zitan was assassinated on the Lantern Festival

Gu Yong was murdered

Zilong got in trance because of overpowering drug

and humiliated Xie Wanru in Guanghua Hall

These are all done by you, aren't they?

Father

How dare you!

If it were not the tip-off from Xie Yuan in the end

I would have been fooled by you

I'm so silly

I'm just a jerk

But all what I did

was to wrestle against the Wang's family

If it were not for that

how can I forgive you?

Stand up

Thank you, father

Xue Dao'an has served me for more than thirty years

He was always loyal to me

Who can imagine he would die so tragically?

An eye for an eye, I will make Wang's pay for it definitely

Father

if you really want to revenge for him

then you must forbear now

and take actions when they are unprepared

I will assist father secretly

to get back your power

Your Highness

Don't mention it

Why do you go out alone today?

Where's Yuxiu?

She never leaves you

To save me today

Yuxiu was seriously injured

So I left her in the Palace for treatment

Your Highness was in danger in the Palace

Are you fine?

I'm fine

But Yuxiu was seriously injured

The doctor said

it was very hard for her to survive

If she...

May God bless her

to be safe and sound

Don't worry, Your Highness

Yuxiu has a strong will

She will get over this for sure

Your Highness, you must be hungry

Hurry up to prepare the meal for Her Highness

Yes

Your Highness

A messenger from the Palace

said Yuxiu was not getting well

What?

It's unexpected that among the three sons

it's you

who's the bravest and astutest one

Zilong and Zitan

both had their mothers to stay together when they were little

But I don't

So I can do nothing but

It's my fault

I'm the one

who's most familiar with my body

I'm just an arrow at the end of its flight

I just want to spare no effort

to defeat the Wang's

Unfortunately

The Xie's family has already declined

Wen Zongshen's in prison

The government

is all in the control of Wang Lin

What's more

He has a son-in-law who lead millions of strong soldiers

The state of the Ma's family

will soon become the Wang's

No

Father

You can't be disheartened

The current situation is

The enemy is an easy target while we are hiding in the dark

If father

can write a secret edict to call on people to suppress the rebels

I would appoint someone to carry this edict

to the southern regions

and contact the royalist armies there

There will sure be hundreds of responses

To suppress the rebels

and make father relieved

Take care, father

Thank you, Your Highness

Your Majesty, it's time to take a rest

Please allow me to serve you

You may leave

Zitan?

I'm here

I'm tired

I wanna have a rest

You may come here tomorrow

Yes

I will ask for leave

Your Highness

Your filial piety

is all taken as it's from Zitan

It's to take care of father

It doesn't matter

Doctor Shen, what happened?

Your Highness

The high fever of Yuxiu didn't stop

And she was suddenly having tachypnea

I was afraid that she wouldn't survive tonight

So I had you informed

so that you are mentally prepared

I'll never be prepared

I just want her to be alive

Well...

Acupuncture

Acupuncture might save her life

But it's too drastic

I worry that she can't stand it

If you don't use that method

then is there any other way to save her?

No

Then do it

All right!

Your Highness

If in two days

her fever doesn't stop

then no one in this world

can save her life

Brother,

just as we guessed

Xie Yuan's case

The Wen's family was also involved
