You two

also want to kneel like them?

Your Majesty

Please forgive me

Ministers have been kneeling outside

for four hours

Pray Your Majesty to attend the court meeting

You ministers have shown testamentary edict

to make me ponder over my mistake?

Xiao Qi comes to the capital with army

It's hard to tell what he wants to do

Your Majesty, please

forgive what we have done

Please take part in the court meeting

Pray Your Majesty to attend the court meeting

It rains heavily

It rains on the body

Is it cold?

When body feels cold

Fire can warm body

But how about

heart's getting cold?

Get up

Change clothes

One hour later

Have the meeting at Taiji Palace

Thank you, Your Majesty

Your Majesty

I don't think

we should indulge Xiao Qi

But should strictly order all battalions in the capital city

to guard the entry passes to the capital

We should stop Xiao Qi's army at any cost

Meanwhile

Order Lords in Jiangnan to lead armies to save the capital

All the troops in the capital battalions are useless at all

None of them have fought in a war before

How can they stop Ningshuo Army?

Since Xiao Qi led army eastward

Government has given the edicts several times

Order Lords in Jiangnan to lead armies to save the capital

But until now

All Lords

haven't moved sat all

Don't depend on them

All the uncles of me

wanted Xiao Qi to overthrow me

Then, they can fight for the throne

Wen Zongshen

Yes

What do you think?

Your Majesty

I think

Now that Xiao Qi has already led army and marched the capital

Why not taking the chance

to make an edict?

Just order him to come to the capital with army

In this way

He doesn't use his army without authorization

Then

he saved his reputation

Besides

we also protect the fame of our court

Isn't this fooling ourselves?

How can the whole imperial court

yield to a man from the low class?

Excuse me, Marquis Wei

Who in the whole imperial court

can stop the man from the low class?

Lord Jiangxia

Yes

How about you?

I think

we should agree with Wen

Be kind at the beginning

Let him come to the capital

After that

He won't be able to make so much trouble

You are right

Our imperial court should take care of the fame

We should not be controlled by a general

Wen Zongshen

Yes

I agree

In such a situation

Just seize the momentum

Make an edict to order Xiao Qi to the capital with army

And

How about Xiao Qi's crime of treason?

It won't change

He should know

it is because of my kindness

Whether he's wronged or not

should be judged from the result of the investigation

Yes

Your Majesty, you are right

Your Majesty, you are right

Huaien

Huaien

What do you think of my clothes?

Can I wear this to welcome the Lord and Princess tomorrow?

Very good

What's wrong?

Lord is rehabilitated and takes Princess back to capital

It is such a great thing

Why do you look unhappy?

Lord and Princess are coming back

I am indeed happy

From now on, you will be in Imperial court together with Lord

Those who from noble class

will not look down upon generals from low class

Yuxiu

Tell me

Whether only if Lord is here

The low class will not be looked down upon?

Yeah

Lord is the first one from low class being entitled Lord in Cheng

He is of course the best man in the low class

Before

People from low class like you and me

thought those noble class looked down upon us

But since Lord had been entitled as Lord Yuzhang

All the low class found the hope

Can I be better than Lord?

Huaien

You've done well all the time

You are Lord's most trusted subordinate

Before, I was

Yuxiu

Yuxiu, I want to say

He is Lord Yuzhang

Now I am Count Suyi

We are not like before

Do you understand?

Huaien

What's wrong?

Before

I have never heard about these words

Yuxiu

Changes in Lianyu Mountain

After that event

I have thought about

what should I do

if Lord is not by my side

But now

Now Lord has come back

We should

obey his words like before, right?

Right

Lord can't leave you

Your Majesty

Lord Yuzhang leads army to capital

Your Majesty

Should we welcome him?

Prime Minister Wen

Remember

Now he's still convicted

He is not a Lord

Or Lord Yuzhang

You want me to welcome him?

Then what will the officers in the court think of me?

What about people all over the country?

Besides

The army is of a hundred thousand soldiers

What does Xiao Qi want to do?

Take over this place?

Or take the capital as his Ningshuo?

A hundred thousand soldiers, Prime Minister

He is threatening the court

Threatening me

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, don't be that angry

Your Majesty, I didn't mean you have to go there

But I think

when dealing with Xiao Qi

We should reassure him first

The survey of Lianyu Mountain event hasn't been clear

For all these years

Our Cheng's

foreign and inner revolts

were all suppressed by him

and his Ningshuo Army

I know you say this for the sake of the court

For the sake of me

But you are pushing me

to yield to Xiao Qi

I can't do that

Your Majesty

Please forgive me to say this

But she

is now the wife of Xiao Qi

If Your Majesty can't forget her

Maybe Xiao Qi will

Can you forget?

Your Majesty

It's because I think the Empress Dowager's hysteria is getting worse and worse

So I went to visit her

I have no other purpose

I understand Prime Minister's thought

most

Don't talk about letting off the former affection

to fool yourself any more

If you can really let it go

It only shows that your affection is not deep enough

The event of welcoming Xiao Qi

I will not ask about it

Let Lord Jiangxia do that for me

I understand

Will it be ok if Lord Jiangxia does it alone?

If he can't persuade him

Lord Yuzhang may seize the chance to confirm his rebellion

We have only so few soldiers in the court

that we can't stand a strike

Right

What should we do?

If Secretary Gu is not at ease

why not carrying the imperial jade seal in person

to the gate

and give it to Lord Yuzhang?

You

Wang An

What time is it now?

Master

It's around 7:40

The princess is coming back

Aren't you going to meet her?

Right

Yes

Awu is coming back

Come to the Imperial Garden with me

I want to shoot arrows

Have they arrived?

Your highness

The army of Xiao Qi has been the outside of capital

Lord Jiangxia is welcoming him by the order of Your Majesty

What about Wang Xuan?

She is back with Xiao Qi

Your highness

You can go down

Yes

Brother

Awu

Is everything all right, brother?

Fine

Seeing you back and safe

I feel relieved

How about Jing'er?

Don't worry

I have everything well arranged

Xiao Qi

Next

I will read the imperial order

I have to fulfill my responsibility

Xiao Qi

Xiao Qi

You must kneel down

Imperial edict:

The case of Lianyu Mountain is still not clear

Considering that Xiao Qi has served three emperors

and his military achievements

I shall spare him the accusation of treason

and allow him to get back to the capital

to his house

However

before the case is closed

he shall not regain his title

his position

He shall not take part in the court meeting

Xiao Qi

We have persuaded the emperor

This is what he can do to reserve his face

Lord Jiangxia

I return back here this time

not because anyone demanded

but because I wanted to

The case of Lianyu hill is still under investigation

so

I will do it myself

I'd like to see

who on earth assassinated the previous emperor

Who framed me with the false accusation

and caused my soldiers

to be wronged in Lianyu Mountain

Of course

we must get to the bottom of the case

Can we?

Dare we?

Just like today

out of no reason

my accusation of treason was spared

That day

without any evidences and reasons

one could slander me of treason and attempt to murder the emperor

Who

has such power?

Who

has such nerves?

This case

we might take the long view

Lianyu Mountain Incident

It's been half a year long

I can't wait anymore

So I come back

For my soldiers, I must ask

for an apology

Your Majesty

Have a rest

Let me ask you

Do you think I can lead the troops to a battle?

Of military expertise and strategy

Your Majesty is very capable

Yuan Xiao

What do you say?

Of course Your Majesty can

Then do you think

without Xiao Qi

could I defend the Cheng?

Of course you can

Your Majesty is the lord of the world

But rumours said that

The land

could do without emperor

but not Xiao Qi

Your Majesty, do not believe the rumors

Xiao Qi is powerful, but not as powerful as you

You may rise

Yes

Your Majesty

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty

Is Xiao Qi in city?

Your Majesty

Not yet

Sparing his accusation

seems not enough to make him satisfied

Your Majesty

It seems

it's still not enough

What on earth does he want?

Your Majesty

He wants

the truth of Lianyu Mountain Event

Your Majesty

At this moment

Your Majesty needs to confront him personally

He is pushing me

You are pushing me

Your Majesty

Outside the capital, there is not only his anger

but the rage of a hundred thousand people

If you do not relieve it

the consequences may be catastrophic

Awu

Persuade him

Brother

It can not remain unsettled

Besides

Nor can you take the blame

Then just say

what do you want?

Make the emperor

withdraw his order

I just want his promise

You know about the court

To protect its fame, the court

The emperor arrives

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Lord Jiangxia

You may rise

Thank you, Your Majesty

When seeing Your Majesty

you shall kneel down

You may rise

Now that Lord Yuzhang didn't kneel down for me

then you all may rise

Your Majesty issued a decree

to resume Xiao Qi's

title as the Lord Yuzhang

and can stay in the capital

for future work

Lord Yuzhang

Today you led a hundred thousand soldiers to the capital

Whatever your request is

I shall meet you

I have only one request

The truth of the Lianyu Mountain Event

About this case,

I have already ordered officers to look into it thoroughly

Gu Minwen

Your Majesty

You are in charge of the case

Why there isn't any answer yet?

Well

It is very complicated

and very hard to investigate

Not even a clue?

Nothing

Then are you clear about your fault?

Yes, I am

Yes, I am

Somebody

Bludgeon him 50 times

Yes

No need

Your Majesty

Even you kill Secretary Gu

there's no point

Will the truth

come out?

Lord Yuzhang

What do you want?

I said

I just want the truth

The truth

I

can't guarantee you now

Somebody

Bludgeon me 50 times

When Lord Yuzhang is satisfied

you can stop

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Now that Lord Yuzhang wants the truth

of the Lianyu Mountain Event

so does Your Majesty

How about Lord Yuzhang investigating himself?

What do you think, Your Majesty?

Lord Yuzhang

What do you think?

I

receive the edict

You are back

Are the Lord and Princess in city now?

Are they fine?

What did they say to you?

Your Majesty led the troops personally

I didn't get to talk with Lord and Princess

They may go back to their house now

Let's pay our respects

I have already prepared for the Princess

everything she need

Yuxiu

You are now wife of Count Suyi

Not the maid in Lord Yuzhang's Mansion anymore

Huaien

Whoever we are now

we can not forget our root

What are you saying?

I am just afraid that Lord and Princess

after all the long trip

might feel tired

I just want them to have a good rest

That's right

Why did I forget that?

So let's take your suggestion

and your arrangement

We'd pay a visit another day

Princess

Am I not dreaming?

Aunt Xu

you should be happy

We are safe now

During this period

you are also involved in this innocently

Look at yourself

you've got white hair

Princess

We're fine

We are under the protection of Lord Jiangxia

No one dares to bother us

Princess

after we separated last time

Ayue and I

found brother Su in Jiangnan after your order

and handed Jing'er to him in person

But brother has come back to capital now

Where Jing'er is?

I don't know the details

Bro Su

said he found a reliable household for him

What brother did

he has his own reason

When I see him later

I will ask him in details

Princess

There is one thing that Ayue and I don't understand

After we separated

Jin'er has been with you

You were taken hostage by Helan Zhen

Why could Jin'er run away safely?

And became the royal concubine

At that time

Pang Gui and I were in a coma because of the knockout drops

Jin'er

I didn't know why

But after she came back

she said princess and little prince passed away

and

it's said that emperor believed it

Princess

Please pardon me

I think

Sister Jin'er

always behaved weirdly

Princess

You grew up with her

like sisters

But people will change

How much can you understand her?

Your maid Su Jin'er

handed you over to me personally

She has betrayed you for a long time

Princess

You must be thirsty

Drink some water

Awu

What are you thinking?

Time flies

Everything has changed

Everything has changed

Who did you refer to?

Many

Including me?

Are you the one you were before?

Many people think I have changed

But I think

I haven't

Neither do I care about their views about me

I only care about you

Today when we were outside the city

You did act right

Don't you blame me

for my manner?

You were a little bit discourteous

But back then

you almost lost your life

Which matters more?

Someone domineered over my Lord Yuzhang

Of course I would take your side

In the face of Your Majesty

you claimed justice for Ningshuo soldiers

which really made me

Aren't your wife powerful?

Very

Even Lord Yuzhang was no comparison to you

Many people are changing

Will you change?

To you

Never

After all we have experienced

we finally came back

But this time

I feel so uneasy

I always think

there is going to be bigger dangers awaiting

I was nearly dead

This time, people who deserve to have a taste of that

shall be the chief culprit of Lianyu Mountain event

I don't care

whoever he is

I will not forgive him

Promise me

Once you know the truth

do not kill innocent people

I know

you and Xiao Qi are wronged

But with a hundred thousand soldiers stationed outside the capital

the court was uneasy

What does Xiao Qi want?

Yesterday, he made it quite clear

He wants the truth of Lianyu Mountain Event

Don't tell me that he didn't plan

to use his military power to threaten the imperial power?

You also think so?

Before, the noble class counterbalanced the imperial power

Now the military power threatens the imperial power

The world has changed

No extreme will hold long

Ok, end of discussion

No matter the noble class or the low class

only if you could come back

I would be content

Aunt Xu told me

you left Jing'er in Jiangnan

I know you will ask me about it

Right. I left him in Jiangnan

to a reliable household

Don't worry

Whose?

Gu Caiwei's

Gu Caiwei?

I thought of the relation between Wang and Gu

So I asked her to give me a favour

I urged you again and again

I will only be relieved if Jing'er stays with you

You left him in other household

What if something bad happens to him

Who will take the blame?

Didn't you tell me

you hope Jing'er could be far away from the affairs of the state

He really stands out with me

If by any chance someone knows his real identity

See, the noble class

each of them is watching us with hostility

So I thought

maybe if I left him in Jiangnan

he would be safer

Besides, I did't tell Caiwei

who he really is

She didn't ask?

She did

I told her

He is the love child of my temporary lover

and me before

I didn't expect, brother

your lie seems real

What do you mean?

I almost believe that

You pushed me

I was not willing to tell such a lie

But you entrusted me

to take good care of Jing'er

I just can't let you down

Brother, you are such an upright person

Making you lie

really put you into a difficult situation

Awu

Father, he

Father?
