1
00:01:39,690 --> 00:01:42,940
I have sent for King of Rui today
2
00:01:42,940 --> 00:01:44,910
because I have
3
00:01:44,910 --> 00:01:48,020
promised His Majesty something.
4
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:52,640
Eunuch Li.
5
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:53,940
Yes.
6
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,450
Summon Imperial Physician Du.
7
00:01:58,810 --> 00:02:03,360
Official pays a formal call to
Her Highness Empress Dowager,
8
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,090
Your Majesty, King of Rui.
9
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,310
Rise.
10
00:02:10,310 --> 00:02:11,930
Imperial Physician Du,
11
00:02:11,930 --> 00:02:14,220
talk to His Majesty and King of Rui
12
00:02:14,220 --> 00:02:15,530
about Meiren Ji’s matter.
13
00:02:15,530 --> 00:02:17,730
Do not conceal anything.
14
00:02:17,730 --> 00:02:19,000
Yes.
15
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Reporting to Your Majesty and
Royal Highness King of Rui,
16
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,040
when Meiren Ji passed away,
17
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,370
the Late Emperor was devastated.
18
00:02:28,370 --> 00:02:29,890
He wrung his heart to the very core.
(he was grieving)
19
00:02:29,890 --> 00:02:32,400
Her Highness Empress Dowager
knew that the Late Emperor
20
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,660
loved Meiren Ji deeply
21
00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:37,090
and pitied that King of
Rui was still underage,
22
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:39,680
so she ordered this official
to prepare medicinal herbs
23
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,420
to keep Meiren Ji’s body from rotting
24
00:02:42,420 --> 00:02:43,810
and not to bury her.
25
00:02:43,810 --> 00:02:46,420
Firstly, so that the Late Emperor
26
00:02:46,420 --> 00:02:47,530
can mourn her properly
27
00:02:47,530 --> 00:02:50,240
and secondly to wait for King of Rui
28
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,810
to grow up
29
00:02:51,810 --> 00:02:54,720
and to say farewell to Meiren Ji properly.
30
00:02:56,020 --> 00:02:59,160
Empress Dowager was
really well-intentioned.
31
00:02:59,970 --> 00:03:01,760
King of Rui,
32
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,940
you have the opportunity
33
00:03:02,940 --> 00:03:04,450
to see your mother now.
34
00:03:04,450 --> 00:03:08,660
Do you want to see her or not?
35
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,640
Fifth Younger Brother, kneel
and thank her quickly.
36
00:03:14,860 --> 00:03:16,930
King of Rui, you should never
37
00:03:16,930 --> 00:03:19,170
hurt your knees.
38
00:03:19,940 --> 00:03:22,500
It is up to you whether
39
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:25,460
you see her or not.
40
00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:49,480
Son thanks Her Highness Empress Dowager
41
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:50,780
for her great kindness.
42
00:03:50,780 --> 00:03:53,300
I thank Empress Dowager
in the name of my Mother.
43
00:03:54,020 --> 00:03:56,000
if that is the case,
44
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,890
I will take you to see her once.
45
00:04:03,170 --> 00:04:04,720
Your Majesty,
46
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,940
did Empress Dowager really agree
47
00:04:05,940 --> 00:04:07,530
to return the body of King of Rui’s
48
00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:08,500
mother to him?
49
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:10,660
This was His Majesty’s
plea to Empress Dowager.
50
00:04:10,660 --> 00:04:12,340
Since Zhaoyi Nie was involved
51
00:04:12,340 --> 00:04:13,960
in the rumours about the crystal coffin.
52
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,250
His Majesty specially ordered me
53
00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:17,530
to accompany you
54
00:04:17,530 --> 00:04:20,160
to prove Zhaoyi Nie’s innocence.
55
00:04:36,100 --> 00:04:37,360
Eunuch Li.
56
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,820
Pass my decree.
57
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:40,620
Seal all the doors of the palace for me
58
00:04:40,620 --> 00:04:42,540
to prevent this evil spirit
from escaping from the palace
59
00:04:42,540 --> 00:04:43,880
Yes.
60
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:47,920
Imperial Mother, what
is the meaning of this?
61
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,400
Didn’t you promise me?
62
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,400
Audacious!
63
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,020
Do you think it was my doing?
64
00:04:54,020 --> 00:04:55,780
If I wanted to move her,
65
00:04:55,780 --> 00:04:57,010
would I need to wait till this day?
66
00:04:57,010 --> 00:04:59,080
Her body remained eternal
even after her death.
67
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,580
Is there anything else she cannot do?
68
00:05:01,580 --> 00:05:04,590
Mother, is that you?
69
00:05:04,590 --> 00:05:05,600
You are still alive.
70
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,700
Old had, who did you say died?
71
00:05:08,700 --> 00:05:09,680
Are you blind?
72
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,420
My Mother is still alive.
73
00:05:11,420 --> 00:05:12,680
She was the one who escaped.
74
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:13,680
If you want to lock her up,
75
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,500
wait for the next life.
76
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:16,140
You wicked bastard.
77
00:05:16,140 --> 00:05:18,220
I originally wanted to treat
78
00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:19,520
you and your mother with compassion,
79
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,520
but Heavens have opened my eyes
80
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,200
Ji Rousang, did you hide?
81
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,220
Are you afraid?
82
00:05:25,220 --> 00:05:26,500
Are you ashamed of seeing
83
00:05:26,500 --> 00:05:28,360
this wicked bastard of yours?
84
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,170
What did you say?
85
00:05:29,170 --> 00:05:30,940
What did you say, you old hag?
86
00:05:30,940 --> 00:05:32,380
Accept the truth!
87
00:05:32,380 --> 00:05:33,220
King of Rui, hurry up and leave.
88
00:05:33,220 --> 00:05:33,820
You are an outcast
89
00:05:33,820 --> 00:05:35,440
after all.
90
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,020
Leave.
91
00:05:37,020 --> 00:05:38,060
Reporting to Empress Dowager,
92
00:05:38,060 --> 00:05:40,600
the palace gate has been
completely sealed off.
93
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,620
Stop the sedan.
94
00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:43,900
Hurry!
95
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:45,620
Commander Xue,
96
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,320
what happened?
97
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,570
Reporting to Your Majesty,
98
00:05:49,570 --> 00:05:50,280
by Empress Dowager’ imperial decree,
99
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:51,540
as King of Rui’s deceased mother
disappeared from the crystal coffin,
100
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:53,700
we were ordered to block
all exits in the palace.
101
00:05:56,840 --> 00:05:58,130
Zitong, you are just in time.
102
00:05:58,130 --> 00:05:59,220
Take Fifth Younger Brother
back to King of Rui’s mansion.
103
00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:00,880
I will come there soon. Go.
104
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,380
King of Rui.
105
00:06:01,380 --> 00:06:02,360
Guards!
106
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,320
Lock this evil bitch’ son
107
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,700
up and
108
00:06:05,700 --> 00:06:07,780
prepare the archers for me!
109
00:06:07,780 --> 00:06:10,620
Imperial Mother, Meiren Ji
has no shrine, no mausoleum.
110
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:11,820
For years
111
00:06:11,820 --> 00:06:13,090
Fifth Younger Brother could
not pay respects to her.
112
00:06:13,090 --> 00:06:14,340
It is reasonable for him
113
00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:16,360
to have such reaction.
114
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,800
Your Majesty,
115
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,840
my benevolence ends with our
116
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:27,460
mother and son’ relationship.
117
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:29,500
King of Rui and that evil
spirit in the coffin
118
00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:30,810
are of the same kind.
119
00:06:30,810 --> 00:06:33,050
Your Majesty, during the deadly battle
120
00:06:33,050 --> 00:06:35,410
with Jiuliao at Shouzhou
121
00:06:35,410 --> 00:06:37,810
King of Rui was able to
come to your rescue in time
122
00:06:37,810 --> 00:06:39,240
and before that
123
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,780
King of Rui has saved
124
00:06:40,780 --> 00:06:42,380
Zhaoyi Nie in this palace.
125
00:06:42,380 --> 00:06:43,500
How can
126
00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:44,620
an ordinary person be that quick
127
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:45,620
to cross between
128
00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:47,380
two places within an hour?
129
00:06:47,380 --> 00:06:49,560
Ji Rousang escaped from a coffin
130
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,050
in the imperial harem.
131
00:06:51,050 --> 00:06:53,130
I must take this
132
00:06:53,130 --> 00:06:55,200
evil spirit’ son down
133
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,200
for the sake of Great Lan.
134
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,100
Guards!
135
00:06:58,100 --> 00:06:59,760
No!
136
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,250
I forbid anyone
137
00:07:01,250 --> 00:07:03,000
to hurt my Fifth Younger Brother.
138
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,220
Xue Bi.
139
00:07:04,220 --> 00:07:05,320
Official is present.
140
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,220
As long as you take King of Rui down,
141
00:07:07,220 --> 00:07:08,600
I will immediately make you
142
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,010
the commander-in-chief of the new army.
143
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:12,280
Miao Minghu will also
be under your command.
144
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:13,370
Yes.
145
00:07:13,370 --> 00:07:14,500
Go up!
146
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:16,090
Who dares!
147
00:07:16,090 --> 00:07:21,060
If you want to take down King
of Rui, take me down first!
148
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,220
I want to kill
149
00:07:25,220 --> 00:07:26,820
King of Rui and Zhaoyi Nie.
150
00:07:26,820 --> 00:07:28,900
Be sure not to hurt His Majesty!
151
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,580
Archers, get ready!
152
00:07:37,660 --> 00:07:39,700
Release!
153
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,540
Stop!
154
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,000
You do not have to fight anymore.
155
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,450
I did not want
156
00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:20,550
to apprehend King of Rui
157
00:08:20,550 --> 00:08:22,620
but only to confirm
158
00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:25,100
whether Ji Rousang will show herself
159
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:28,370
if King of Rui faces a calamity.
160
00:08:28,370 --> 00:08:32,170
It seems that only my imperial son
161
00:08:32,170 --> 00:08:33,800
is willing to lay down his life
162
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,100
for an orphan like you.
163
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,010
King of Rui you were
164
00:08:39,010 --> 00:08:40,780
thinking the same as I, right?
165
00:08:40,780 --> 00:08:43,760
You hoped that Ji Rousang
166
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,380
would show up at such critical time.
167
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,340
Except for His Majesty,
168
00:08:57,340 --> 00:08:58,930
withdraw, you all.
169
00:08:58,930 --> 00:09:02,240
Do not spread anything about
today’s matter either.
170
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,960
Yes.
171
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:24,320
Your Majesty, you could clearly see
172
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,910
the extraordinary phenomenon just now.
173
00:09:26,910 --> 00:09:28,370
He is of a different kind,
174
00:09:28,370 --> 00:09:30,360
lurking around you.
175
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,360
Just waiting for this demoness Ji Rousang
176
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,100
to wake up
177
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:34,360
so that mother and son can join hands
178
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,660
to overturn Great Lan.
179
00:09:38,380 --> 00:09:40,520
Improbable.
180
00:09:42,530 --> 00:09:44,520
I caught a sight
181
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,540
of fearful Zhaoyi Nie in the
forest of the arrows, but she was
182
00:09:46,540 --> 00:09:49,650
worried for King of Rui
and not Your Majesty.
183
00:09:52,580 --> 00:09:55,730
Your Majesty, why are you not stating
184
00:09:55,730 --> 00:09:58,720
that it is also improbable?
185
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,250
I thought your Majesty
186
00:10:00,250 --> 00:10:01,720
was fearless
187
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,130
since you have
188
00:10:03,130 --> 00:10:05,820
your new army now.
189
00:10:20,050 --> 00:10:22,720
Fengqing!
190
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,510
So the brothers
191
00:10:46,510 --> 00:10:48,600
are bound to separate?
192
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,600
Yes.
193
00:10:50,970 --> 00:10:53,340
But Nie Wushuang’s rebirth
194
00:10:53,340 --> 00:10:54,600
is both motivation
195
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,400
and hindrance for them.
196
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,930
So you cannot have
197
00:10:58,930 --> 00:11:00,100
feelings for them.
198
00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:01,760
if they fall in love with you,
199
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,170
they will eventually hurt each other.
200
00:11:22,730 --> 00:11:24,780
Your Royal Highness...
201
00:11:27,970 --> 00:11:32,100
Elder Sister, why are
you bothering with it?
202
00:11:35,530 --> 00:11:38,080
Humble official pays
respects to Zhaoyi Nie.
203
00:11:38,460 --> 00:11:40,100
It was Her Majesty
204
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:42,700
that ordered this humble official
to take King of Rui’s pulse.
205
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:49,560
He is aboard the ship. Go.
206
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:51,380
Yes.
207
00:12:04,650 --> 00:12:08,390
Elder Sister, the ship is about to leave.
208
00:12:08,390 --> 00:12:10,080
They are leaving.
209
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,380
Are you sure you won’t go up?
210
00:12:26,290 --> 00:12:29,080
I cannot love him.
211
00:12:36,460 --> 00:12:38,570
Is this what you two
212
00:12:38,570 --> 00:12:40,100
found out about last night’
213
00:12:40,100 --> 00:12:42,540
events at Shangyuan Palace for me?
214
00:12:42,540 --> 00:12:44,080
Replying to Imperial Concubine Du,
215
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,370
Empress Dowager ordered
216
00:12:45,370 --> 00:12:47,080
not to say a single word about this matter,
217
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,360
but paper cannot wrap the fire.
218
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,650
As long as there is enough silver,
219
00:12:51,650 --> 00:12:54,640
rumour will always find its way.
220
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,180
It was also said that under the
arrow array of palace guards
221
00:12:57,180 --> 00:12:58,980
Zhaoyi Nie placed herself between
222
00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:00,660
His Majesty and King of
Rui to block the arrows.
223
00:13:00,660 --> 00:13:02,610
Her Majesty did not dare
224
00:13:02,610 --> 00:13:04,970
to move when she saw her.
225
00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:09,270
Of course, she wouldn’t dare.
226
00:13:09,270 --> 00:13:12,100
Empress Dowager Wang is her maternal aunt.
227
00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:14,480
She can easily find an excuse
228
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,900
to abolish her.
229
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,280
So did King of Rui’s biological mother
230
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,740
reappear?
231
00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:24,280
Jiao Tong snooped in the
distance all night.
232
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,640
Unfortunately, she has never appeared.
233
00:13:26,850 --> 00:13:29,370
What kind of trick is this?
234
00:13:29,370 --> 00:13:32,640
Is it a person or a demon?
235
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,210
Is she alive or dead?
236
00:13:37,610 --> 00:13:39,980
So where is King of Rui
237
00:13:39,980 --> 00:13:41,480
stirring trouble now?
238
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,220
He went south on his
gaily-painted pleasure boat.
239
00:13:43,220 --> 00:13:45,960
Her Majesty has also sent
Du Ruo to follow him.
240
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,370
Her Majesty is really stupid.
241
00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:51,640
How could King of Rui want
242
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Du Ruo to accompany him at this time?
243
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:57,640
I guess
244
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,640
I can still anticipate a good play
245
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,640
even if I cannot get out
246
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,960
of Guanju Palace.
247
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,820
Imperial Concubine, what
else is going to happen?
248
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:10,930
Do you think
249
00:14:10,930 --> 00:14:14,520
Empress Dowager Wang will stop there?
250
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,520
A woman
251
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,540
who has been in the harem for many years
252
00:14:18,540 --> 00:14:20,250
certainly knows
253
00:14:20,250 --> 00:14:26,820
how she can turn defeat into victory.
254
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:50,010
Your Majesty, zishi has passed.
(zishi - 11 pm - 1 am)
255
00:14:50,010 --> 00:14:53,120
It is time to go back to the
sleeping quarters and rest.
256
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,140
Ever since King of Rui left the palace,
257
00:14:55,140 --> 00:14:57,120
you have been saying here
258
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,420
for several hours already.
259
00:14:58,420 --> 00:14:59,920
You did not even have dinner.
260
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,570
This humble one is worried
261
00:15:01,570 --> 00:15:03,820
about Your Majesty’s dragon body.
262
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:09,680
King of Rui… is there any
information about King of Rui?
263
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,140
They say that King of Rui drove
his pleasure boat south.
264
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,840
He left.
265
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,840
Did he leave a message
266
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,050
when he would come back?
267
00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:19,440
No.
268
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,730
King of Rui’s temperament
269
00:15:20,730 --> 00:15:22,980
is always coming and going.
270
00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:25,850
But King of Rui asked this humble one
271
00:15:25,850 --> 00:15:28,440
to give this to Your
Majesty before you left.
272
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,220
He said that it might help Your Majesty
273
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:32,600
at a critical time.
274
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,570
He still thinks about me.
275
00:15:40,570 --> 00:15:43,160
This humble one has guessed its
meaning without authorization.
276
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,790
He’ll say one more thing.
277
00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:46,160
This humble one thinks
278
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,780
that King of Rui and Your Majesty
279
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:49,520
grew up together
280
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,050
and their brotherly affection
is as strong as gold.
281
00:15:52,050 --> 00:15:53,780
Even if someone wants you two
to be at odds with each other,
282
00:15:53,780 --> 00:15:55,990
it will be difficult for him to succeed.
283
00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:57,320
Your Majesty should pay attention
284
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,610
to the alienator’s
285
00:15:58,610 --> 00:16:01,560
intention instead.
286
00:16:02,820 --> 00:16:05,020
You mean Empress Dowager.
287
00:16:05,020 --> 00:16:08,610
This humble one deserves to die,
this humble one deserves to die.
288
00:16:08,610 --> 00:16:10,380
Rise.
289
00:16:10,380 --> 00:16:12,640
I know that you are devoted
290
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,000
to me.
291
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
I just don’t understand
292
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
why is Empress Dowager
293
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,140
always giving me problems,
294
00:16:22,140 --> 00:16:24,610
Her Majesty has been waiting
295
00:16:24,610 --> 00:16:27,140
for two shichen already
(shichen - a double-hour)
296
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,800
Announce her entry into the palace hall.
297
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,800
Yes.
298
00:16:51,170 --> 00:16:54,460
Your Majesty, Her Majesty has arrived.
299
00:16:54,460 --> 00:16:55,960
Withdraw, you all.
300
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,960
Yes.
301
00:17:10,970 --> 00:17:12,700
Your Majesty,
302
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,860
this female servant has come to
confess her crime to Your Majesty.
303
00:17:26,090 --> 00:17:28,830
Zitong, what crime are you talking about?
304
00:17:28,830 --> 00:17:31,080
This female servant is timid by nature.
305
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,380
She cannot make a decision.
306
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:34,460
She could not make it even when Your
Majesty was in a critical situation
307
00:17:34,460 --> 00:17:35,850
or to share Your Majesty’s worries.
308
00:17:35,850 --> 00:17:37,380
This female servant
309
00:17:38,260 --> 00:17:41,000
is not worthy of the
position of the empress
310
00:17:44,300 --> 00:17:46,300
Rise and then we’ll talk.
311
00:17:49,060 --> 00:17:52,040
My Imperial Mother is your aunt.
312
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,640
I understand your difficulties.
313
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,380
Your Majesty...
314
00:17:56,380 --> 00:17:58,330
I don’t blame you.
315
00:17:58,330 --> 00:18:00,960
I do not want you to be in a dilemma.
316
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,960
This female servant’s heart
317
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,160
is always on Your Majesty’s side.
318
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,010
This female servant understands Your
Majesty concern for King of Rui.
319
00:18:10,010 --> 00:18:12,900
I have sent Du Ruo to console him.
320
00:18:14,180 --> 00:18:16,600
Zitong does not know
321
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,850
where the bottom line is.
322
00:18:18,850 --> 00:18:20,730
How can Du Ruo
323
00:18:20,730 --> 00:18:23,300
be the Fifth Younger Brother’s antidote?
324
00:19:12,090 --> 00:19:14,220
Wushuang...
325
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,810
Wushuang...
326
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,960
Wushuang...
327
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:05,900
General Xue.
328
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,410
Old minister is present.
329
00:20:09,410 --> 00:20:10,460
It seems
330
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:12,960
that you want to cut my military expenses.
331
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,500
Are you dissatisfied with
332
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:17,600
building the new army?
333
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,010
Old minister dares not.
334
00:20:19,010 --> 00:20:20,600
This old minister just thought
335
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,600
that many soldiers in the army
336
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,010
were following the Late
Emperor in life and death
337
00:20:25,010 --> 00:20:26,940
and made great contributions
338
00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:28,610
to consolidating Great
Lan and the whole world.
339
00:20:28,610 --> 00:20:31,890
Now Your Majesty has
decided to build a new army
340
00:20:31,890 --> 00:20:34,180
and he has cut their expenses drastically.
341
00:20:34,180 --> 00:20:35,960
This partiality will make
342
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:41,730
veteran officers and men broken-hearted.
343
00:20:41,730 --> 00:20:44,460
Since General Xue talks
about military achievements,
344
00:20:44,460 --> 00:20:46,000
I have something to ask of you.
345
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,260
If Xue Family’s Army were to go
346
00:20:48,260 --> 00:20:52,720
into the battle with Jiuliao,
347
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,420
will you be sure of willing it?
348
00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:56,180
This...
349
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,580
The personnel is miscellaneous and
the military discipline is unknown.
350
00:21:02,580 --> 00:21:04,730
I am afraid that General Xue
351
00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:06,120
does not have a clue about it.
352
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:07,130
My new army
353
00:21:07,130 --> 00:21:09,340
is Great Lan’s new army.
354
00:21:09,340 --> 00:21:11,210
Don’t think that I do not know
355
00:21:11,210 --> 00:21:12,660
that someone is spreading rumours
356
00:21:12,660 --> 00:21:14,940
that the army that
participated in this war
357
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,960
was Xue Family’s Army.
358
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:20,740
Old minister is unfairly treated.
359
00:21:20,740 --> 00:21:21,780
Your Majesty,
360
00:21:21,780 --> 00:21:25,010
General Xue is not acting
out of selfishness.
361
00:21:25,010 --> 00:21:27,330
The officers and men in the regular army
362
00:21:27,330 --> 00:21:29,040
have complained a lot these days.
363
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,040
This way,
364
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,330
it will be difficult to
keep the morale steady.
365
00:21:33,330 --> 00:21:35,930
This official seconds it.
366
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,840
Give priority to the new army.
367
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,740
General Xue, rise.
368
00:21:55,740 --> 00:21:57,730
Thank you, Your Majesty.
369
00:21:57,730 --> 00:21:59,730
When the new army came back
after the great victory,
370
00:21:59,730 --> 00:22:01,560
I have not made a distinction
between the rewards and punishments.
371
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,210
As for the follow-up matters,
372
00:22:03,210 --> 00:22:05,950
I will take my time to make careful
deliberations and plan accordingly.
373
00:22:05,950 --> 00:22:08,730
If there is anything else,
please bring it up quickly.
374
00:22:08,730 --> 00:22:10,280
Reporting to Your Majesty,
375
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,900
The drought in Yizhou
376
00:22:11,900 --> 00:22:13,530
triggered a plague of locusts
that lasted several months.
377
00:22:13,530 --> 00:22:15,540
This humble official received
378
00:22:15,540 --> 00:22:17,290
a report from the secretariat
of Yizhou yesterday.
379
00:22:17,290 --> 00:22:18,840
I’m afraid
380
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,700
there will be no harvest this fall.
381
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:24,040
Yizhou was always graced
by favourable weather.
382
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,560
Why is there suddenly a plague of locusts?
383
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,620
People in Yizhou suffer
untold misery and hardship.
384
00:22:29,620 --> 00:22:30,700
In addition to
385
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:32,340
using various methods
to drive locusts away,
386
00:22:32,340 --> 00:22:33,900
they also held
387
00:22:33,900 --> 00:22:35,440
various religious rituals
388
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,220
but apart from exhausting the
people and draining the treasury
389
00:22:38,220 --> 00:22:40,730
it did not work.
390
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,080
Herding ducks.
391
00:22:49,540 --> 00:22:52,580
We might as well try herding ducks
to prevent the locust swarms.
392
00:22:52,580 --> 00:22:53,660
Your Majesty,
393
00:22:53,660 --> 00:22:57,640
this method was not recorded
in the history books before.
394
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,900
It will be
395
00:22:58,900 --> 00:23:01,230
reported in the historical
books from now on.
396
00:23:01,230 --> 00:23:04,480
Official shall obey.
397
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,040
Is there anything else to discuss?
398
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,770
Empress Dowager summoned this
old minister in the morning.
399
00:23:09,770 --> 00:23:14,280
This old minister has something
to report to Your Majesty.
400
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,750
Speak.
401
00:23:15,750 --> 00:23:17,580
King of Rui left the palace last night.
402
00:23:17,580 --> 00:23:21,280
I wonder if I should send
someone to keep watch on him.
403
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,260
King of Rui is my Fifth Younger Brother.
404
00:23:26,260 --> 00:23:27,680
He is not a fugitive.
405
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,100
Why do you want to keep watch on him?
406
00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:32,080
Lord Xu, don’t you think
407
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,190
this is absurd?
408
00:23:34,190 --> 00:23:36,560
Your Majesty, calm your anger.
409
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,620
Withdraw.
410
00:23:38,620 --> 00:23:41,000
Yes.
411
00:23:56,300 --> 00:23:58,930
Imperial Brother, you must
not distrust Fengqing.
412
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,220
Elder Brother Miao,
413
00:24:11,220 --> 00:24:12,660
I came to see you.
414
00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:14,570
Are you not coming to welcome me?
415
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:16,660
Put the things here.
416
00:24:16,660 --> 00:24:18,260
You can all withdraw now.
417
00:24:26,090 --> 00:24:27,840
The humble official is paying
respects to the Princess.
418
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,460
Again with the “princess”.
419
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:30,700
Did I not tell you
420
00:24:30,700 --> 00:24:33,240
to call me Yunle?
421
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,500
Why is your home bustling
with noise and excitement?
422
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:39,480
These were all sent by
423
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,420
the Lan State’ people.
424
00:24:41,420 --> 00:24:42,920
It seems
425
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:43,920
that people have admitted that
426
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,720
you are Lan State’s citizens.
427
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,330
Qiuzi, what are you doing?
428
00:24:49,330 --> 00:24:51,070
Hurry up.
429
00:24:51,070 --> 00:24:53,060
Kill one and cook the soup.
430
00:24:53,060 --> 00:24:54,370
The food in the barracks is really bad,
431
00:24:54,370 --> 00:24:56,130
so make one for Elder Brother Miao. Quick.
432
00:24:56,130 --> 00:24:57,180
No need, Princess.
433
00:24:57,180 --> 00:24:58,090
Do not bother with it.
434
00:24:58,090 --> 00:24:59,130
Princess…
435
00:24:59,130 --> 00:25:03,300
maidservant... maidservant
has never killed a chicken
436
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,720
You are really useless.
Watch this Princess.
437
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,400
Princess!
438
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,400
Look at me.
439
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,090
Come here!
440
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,840
Scared me to death!
441
00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:28,730
Elder Brother Miao, look.
442
00:25:28,730 --> 00:25:30,700
Empress Dowager has arrived!
443
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,400
Humble official pays
respects to Empress Dowager.
444
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,460
Rise.
445
00:25:35,460 --> 00:25:37,040
Thank you, Empress Dowager.
446
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,040
The humble minister did not
know that Empress Dowager
447
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,040
- would visit his humble abode...
- Imperial Mother
448
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,160
therefore he failed to welcome her.
449
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,440
If humble abode is not too lacking,
450
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,000
I invite Empress Dowager to
deign it with her presence.
451
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,850
I never thought that
the commander-in-chief
452
00:25:46,850 --> 00:25:49,770
of the new Lan Army would
live in such a humble place.
453
00:25:49,770 --> 00:25:51,420
I do not know if General Miao
454
00:25:51,420 --> 00:25:53,420
is used to such simple life
455
00:25:53,420 --> 00:25:54,680
or if Great Lan
456
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,580
is treating General Miao unfairly.
457
00:25:56,580 --> 00:25:57,610
Humble official dares not.
458
00:25:57,610 --> 00:25:59,770
Humble official asks for nothing more
459
00:25:59,770 --> 00:26:01,760
after relocating to Lan State.
460
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,760
Imperial Mother,
461
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:03,540
it is said
462
00:26:03,540 --> 00:26:06,440
that people concerned with matters of
great importance do not stick to trifles.
463
00:26:07,690 --> 00:26:09,520
This has not happened before,
464
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,520
you are speaking for an outsider.
465
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,600
If I were to
466
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,050
betroth you to General Miao one day,
467
00:26:16,050 --> 00:26:18,240
I am afraid you would forget
468
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,980
to be grateful for my love and care.
469
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,680
Imperial Mother, you… you...
470
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:25,680
did you say
471
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,450
that you are going to betroth me to...
472
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,060
General Miao,
473
00:26:31,060 --> 00:26:34,010
you were wronged for some time here.
474
00:26:34,010 --> 00:26:35,180
Wait till I
475
00:26:35,180 --> 00:26:36,580
rebuild a mansion
476
00:26:36,580 --> 00:26:37,980
for you in a few days.
477
00:26:37,980 --> 00:26:40,180
If you want to gain a foothold
478
00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:41,180
in Lan State,
479
00:26:41,180 --> 00:26:44,570
I am afraid you have to start
with building up your position.
480
00:26:54,300 --> 00:26:57,120
Your Majesty has come from
patrolling the new army.
481
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:00,200
He seems to be in a good mood.
482
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,730
After combating Jiuliao,
483
00:27:02,730 --> 00:27:05,200
the new army is full of fighting spirit.
484
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,900
This is all due to General Miao.
485
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:09,320
Yes.
486
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,320
Even Xue Mingyi, the founding general,
487
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:13,940
lost face when compared
488
00:27:13,940 --> 00:27:15,760
to Miao Minghu.
489
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,280
To be an emperor
490
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,920
means not to be expedient,
but to know people.
491
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,360
Son thinks
492
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:25,890
Miao Minghu can be described with 4 words.
493
00:27:25,890 --> 00:27:28,380
Loyal and righteous, wise and brave.
494
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:29,760
Imperial Brother, tell me
495
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,740
how one is loyal and
righteous, wise and brave.
496
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:36,440
You want me to
497
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,420
praise your hero,
498
00:27:38,420 --> 00:27:40,680
Elder Brother Miao?
499
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,130
He repays the country
with supreme loyalty.
500
00:27:43,130 --> 00:27:44,680
His high morality reaches
up to the clouds.
501
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,720
He is wise and full of stratagems
502
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,500
and distinguishes himself by
peerless valour in battle.
503
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:50,810
Loyalty is the foundation of ministers.
504
00:27:50,810 --> 00:27:52,500
Righteousness is the foundation of a man.
505
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,240
As for wisdom and courage,
506
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,240
each of them is a talent of its own.
507
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,460
There is no need to mention them.
508
00:27:58,460 --> 00:27:59,170
Of course.
509
00:27:59,170 --> 00:28:00,900
Elder Brother Miao is exactly like this.
510
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:02,300
In the whole Lan State,
511
00:28:02,300 --> 00:28:03,520
no one can compare to him,
512
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,520
except for my Imperial Brother.
513
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,880
Your Majesty boasts about Miao Minghu
514
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,880
as if he was unequalled in his time.
515
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,250
If I don’t
516
00:28:11,250 --> 00:28:12,490
betroth Yunle to him,
517
00:28:12,490 --> 00:28:15,080
it will be a true loss.
518
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,600
When Imperial Mother mentioned this matter
519
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,020
at Elder Brother Miao’s mansion,
520
00:28:21,020 --> 00:28:23,050
Yunle thought
521
00:28:23,050 --> 00:28:25,540
Imperial Mother was
playing tricks on Yunle.
522
00:28:25,540 --> 00:28:29,200
Yunle is Imperial Mother’s pearl
in the palm. (a beloved daughter)
523
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,250
How can Imperial Mother play with
524
00:28:31,250 --> 00:28:33,440
Yunle’s marriage?
525
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:35,440
Imperial Mother,
526
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,930
are you really serious
about what you just said?
527
00:28:38,930 --> 00:28:41,050
I am the world’s paragon of motherhood.
528
00:28:41,050 --> 00:28:43,050
How can you address me like this?
529
00:28:43,050 --> 00:28:44,720
Son remembers
530
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,720
that when Miao Minghu
first came to Lan State,
531
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,330
Imperial Mother did not appreciate him.
532
00:28:50,330 --> 00:28:52,700
Miao Minghu came to Lan State
533
00:28:52,700 --> 00:28:53,960
with a status of a rebel.
534
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,380
I could not help but be
on guard against him.
535
00:28:56,380 --> 00:28:58,760
But since the war with Jiuliao,
536
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,760
I saw that he was indeed
loyal and courageous.
537
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,370
If Yunle is betrothed to Miao Minghu,
538
00:29:04,370 --> 00:29:05,370
it will also show
539
00:29:05,370 --> 00:29:06,890
that I value Miao Minghu
540
00:29:06,890 --> 00:29:10,660
and support Your Majesty.
541
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:14,720
Yunle, what do you think?
542
00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:20,140
Yunle will listen to the Imperial Brother.
543
00:29:25,690 --> 00:29:29,170
Miao Minghu is ten years older than Yunle.
544
00:29:29,170 --> 00:29:31,410
Soon after he lost his wife and son,
545
00:29:31,410 --> 00:29:33,500
he arrived at Lan State and
established a meritorious service,
546
00:29:33,500 --> 00:29:35,480
however, he did not gain
a firm foothold here.
547
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,180
I think that the matter
of Yunle’s marriage
548
00:29:37,180 --> 00:29:40,080
is being handled with undue haste.
549
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:41,730
But Yunle does not
550
00:29:41,730 --> 00:29:43,240
dislike Elder Brother Miao.
551
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,850
I think Miao Minghu’ stability
552
00:29:45,850 --> 00:29:49,010
will make Yunle more mature.
553
00:29:49,010 --> 00:29:51,620
However, Miao Minghu once told me
554
00:29:51,620 --> 00:29:54,280
that he wanted to march into battle
north and south with me.
555
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,060
Only by being alone,
556
00:29:56,060 --> 00:29:58,210
one can have no worries.
557
00:29:58,210 --> 00:30:00,400
Your Majesty, why are you overanxious?
558
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,130
I think
559
00:30:02,130 --> 00:30:03,660
that if Lan State
560
00:30:03,660 --> 00:30:05,660
was to give Miao Minghu a new family,
561
00:30:05,660 --> 00:30:08,160
we can keep him forever.
562
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,100
If Miao Minghu becomes “fuma” (fuma -
imperial son-in-law, also Prince Consort)
563
00:30:11,100 --> 00:30:12,900
I will have
564
00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:16,280
no worries about any menace from behind.
565
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:24,300
Empress, what do you think?
566
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,680
As long as it does not
hurt the relationship
567
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,680
between His Majesty and Imperial Mother
568
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,470
and makes Yunle happy,
569
00:30:35,470 --> 00:30:37,610
this female servant will
definitely support it.
570
00:30:37,610 --> 00:30:40,160
I thought that if Yunle can marry her
571
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,340
favourite Miao Minghu and be happy,
572
00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:44,880
Empress will definitely
573
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,300
support my idea.
574
00:30:55,810 --> 00:30:58,740
I will consider it.
575
00:31:01,850 --> 00:31:04,020
Son asks for leave.
576
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,120
Withdraw.
577
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,380
Yes.
578
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,010
Your Majesty is still worried
579
00:31:44,010 --> 00:31:46,440
about Miao Minghu and Yunle’s marriage.
580
00:31:46,610 --> 00:31:49,010
Why will Your Majesty not
go to Cuihua Pavilion
581
00:31:49,010 --> 00:31:51,440
and discuss it with Zhaoyi Nie?
582
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,900
Maybe she will have an idea
583
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:56,940
how to persuade General
Miao to refuse the marriage.
584
00:31:59,810 --> 00:32:02,220
Has Empress not go to Cuihua Pavilion
585
00:32:02,220 --> 00:32:03,640
to look for Zhaoyi Nie already
586
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:04,660
after the meal
587
00:32:04,660 --> 00:32:06,830
at Empress Dowager’s place?
588
00:32:06,830 --> 00:32:09,460
This female servant cannot hide
anything from Your Majesty.
589
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:12,180
Nie Wushuang knows me best.
590
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,880
Even if I don’t go to her,
591
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,330
as long as she has the ability,
592
00:32:16,330 --> 00:32:18,410
she will do her best.
593
00:32:18,410 --> 00:32:19,840
This female servant is incapable.
594
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,240
I am unable to share
Your Majesty’s worries.
595
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,890
Your marriage
596
00:32:26,890 --> 00:32:29,240
was arranged by Imperial Mother that year.
597
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,680
I can understand your difficulties.
598
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,940
This female servant went
to Shangyuan Palace today
599
00:32:35,940 --> 00:32:37,450
to pay respects to Imperial Mother.
600
00:32:37,450 --> 00:32:39,130
Imperial Mother has already selected a site
601
00:32:39,130 --> 00:32:40,680
for imperial son-in-law’s mansion.
602
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:41,770
Your Majesty,
603
00:32:41,770 --> 00:32:43,580
is there really no way
604
00:32:43,580 --> 00:32:45,620
to reverse it?
605
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,600
Miao Minghu’s choice is
the most crucial here.
606
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,730
If he really chooses
607
00:32:51,730 --> 00:32:53,320
to marry Yunle,
608
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,320
then all my hard work
609
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,160
will be in vain.
610
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,430
But if Miao Minghu refuses the marriage,
611
00:33:01,430 --> 00:33:04,380
how will Empress Dowager deal with?
612
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,860
Empress Dowager will naturally take it
613
00:33:06,860 --> 00:33:09,360
as a refusal to appreciate her efforts
614
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,850
and will make things
difficult for my new army.
615
00:33:11,850 --> 00:33:13,560
Putting together Miao Minghu
616
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,560
and the veteran Xue Mingyi
617
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,220
will also add fuel to the flames.
618
00:33:17,220 --> 00:33:19,770
If the old army will fight with old army,
619
00:33:19,770 --> 00:33:22,680
the morale will go from bad to worse.
620
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,100
Also
621
00:33:24,100 --> 00:33:26,090
this female servant heard Chunxiang say
622
00:33:26,090 --> 00:33:28,370
that if Your Majesty would not come
back from Northern Expedition on time,
623
00:33:28,370 --> 00:33:30,130
Xue Mingyi would receive a heavy gift.
624
00:33:30,130 --> 00:33:31,090
I heard Empress Dowager mention
625
00:33:31,090 --> 00:33:33,470
the marriage between Xue Bi and Yunle.
626
00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:37,020
But Empress Dowager rebuffed
this idea at that time.
627
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,260
It turns out Empress Dowager has long
628
00:33:40,260 --> 00:33:43,250
thought of this in her heart.
629
00:33:43,250 --> 00:33:47,330
This is truly a deadlock.
630
00:33:47,810 --> 00:33:49,890
If...
631
00:33:49,890 --> 00:33:54,260
If Yunle wanted to marry
Xue Bi voluntarily...
632
00:33:54,260 --> 00:33:58,060
This is simply an absurd dream.
633
00:33:58,060 --> 00:33:59,480
Even if there has never been
634
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,030
Miao Minghu in this world,
635
00:34:02,030 --> 00:34:03,480
Yunle would never
636
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,340
marry Xue Bi.
637
00:34:10,410 --> 00:34:12,240
When did Empress Dowager
made such a decision?
638
00:34:12,240 --> 00:34:13,720
Yesterday evening.
639
00:34:13,720 --> 00:34:15,810
Empress Dowager, His Majesty, Her Majesty
640
00:34:15,810 --> 00:34:16,700
and Princess Yunle
641
00:34:16,700 --> 00:34:18,540
were discussing it over dinner.
642
00:34:20,620 --> 00:34:22,500
What was His Majesty’ attitude?
643
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:24,020
Your Majesty has not come
to Cuihua Pavilion yet.
644
00:34:24,020 --> 00:34:26,180
I think he must have known
645
00:34:26,180 --> 00:34:27,640
that I will come to you.
646
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:28,930
I never imagined it.
647
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,640
When I first entered Lan State,
648
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,940
Empress Dowager was giving me a hard time.
649
00:34:33,940 --> 00:34:36,230
She even wanted to kill me.
650
00:34:36,230 --> 00:34:41,400
And now I am to be imperial son-in-law?
651
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,850
Eldest Brother should understand
652
00:34:42,850 --> 00:34:45,080
the importance of imperial
son-in-law’s position.
653
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,400
I naturally understand it.
654
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,080
If I agree
655
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,090
and marry Princess Yunle,
656
00:34:50,090 --> 00:34:52,130
I will become Empress Dowager’s son-in-law
657
00:34:52,130 --> 00:34:54,520
and the painstaking efforts of His Majesty
658
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,280
and new army would probably fail.
659
00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:59,700
His Majesty erected more than
660
00:34:59,700 --> 00:35:01,280
hundred graves for the ghosts
of the slaughtered Miao Family.
661
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,930
How can Miao Minghu act
contrary to the right conduct?
662
00:35:03,930 --> 00:35:05,660
Your Majesty’s kindness
towards Miao Family
663
00:35:05,660 --> 00:35:07,860
must be remembered.
664
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,200
Qianqian, do you know
665
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,200
that after helping Li State
666
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,200
repel Jiuliao this time,
667
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,780
I had a chance to kill Gu Qinghong
668
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:24,580
before the victory party?
669
00:35:24,580 --> 00:35:25,880
Gao Yang’s Zeng Xunuo
670
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,880
offered Gu Qinghong’s head to me
671
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:30,500
as long as I would be
willing to risk my life
672
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:32,580
in the service of Li State again.
673
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,540
He arranged a contest
674
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:39,800
and put poison onto my Cold
Breeze double-edged sword.
675
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,540
Still, I have endured it.
676
00:35:52,730 --> 00:35:55,360
I always put the overall situation first.
677
00:35:55,930 --> 00:35:58,010
I would not take a personal revenge
678
00:35:58,010 --> 00:36:00,080
and harm the diplomatic relations
between the two countries.
679
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,320
When Miao Family had its property
confiscated and people beheaded,
680
00:36:04,730 --> 00:36:08,620
my son was less than five years old.
681
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,320
Your sister-in-law was still pregnant
682
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,320
with a child to be born.
683
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,320
I am sure that
684
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,700
a day will come
685
00:36:19,700 --> 00:36:20,700
for my revenge
686
00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:23,060
on Gu Qinghong and Gao Yang.
687
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:30,760
At the time of plague at Donglin Temple
688
00:36:31,210 --> 00:36:32,420
I saw so many people
689
00:36:32,420 --> 00:36:33,760
from our old country
690
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:38,060
becoming destitute and homeless,
dying in a strange land.
691
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,760
I thought about it too.
692
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,410
King of Li is evil
693
00:36:44,410 --> 00:36:47,280
but the commoners are innocent.
694
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:49,640
Even if Empress Dowager is in power
695
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,890
and sends troops to kill King of Li,
696
00:36:51,890 --> 00:36:53,720
what then?
697
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:55,720
It will only push the world into chaos,
698
00:36:55,720 --> 00:36:58,460
with foreigners invading our
country again and again.
699
00:36:58,460 --> 00:36:59,720
How many people will die
700
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:02,180
the way like our family has died before?
701
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:05,870
King of Lan is benevolent.
702
00:37:05,870 --> 00:37:07,990
We should help King of Lan
703
00:37:07,990 --> 00:37:09,850
to find the supreme treasure
704
00:37:09,850 --> 00:37:12,130
to destroy the tyranny
and unify North and South
705
00:37:12,130 --> 00:37:13,440
so that
706
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,700
the people in the world
707
00:37:16,700 --> 00:37:19,040
can leave and work in
peace and contentment.
708
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,040
Qianqian,
709
00:37:23,540 --> 00:37:27,330
the eldest brother is proud of having
710
00:37:27,330 --> 00:37:29,120
a little sister like you.
711
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,120
Eldest Brother,
712
00:37:31,580 --> 00:37:33,530
no one wants you to rebuild your family
713
00:37:33,530 --> 00:37:35,500
more than I do.
714
00:37:35,500 --> 00:37:37,460
To see it bloom again.
715
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:39,160
I also saw
716
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,740
Princess Yunle’s infatuation
717
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,450
but it
718
00:37:44,780 --> 00:37:46,910
cannot be Yunle,
719
00:37:46,910 --> 00:37:49,690
at least for now.
720
00:37:52,410 --> 00:37:54,120
Yunle has lent me the
ice cicada to save me.
721
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:55,910
She is kind to me.
722
00:37:55,910 --> 00:37:58,120
Man is neither wood or grass.
(main is a creature with feelings)
723
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,420
How can I not understand
724
00:38:00,420 --> 00:38:02,380
her true heart.
725
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,690
But my heart is like a walking corpse
726
00:38:07,410 --> 00:38:11,170
after your sister-in-law died.
727
00:38:11,170 --> 00:38:14,180
It is hollow instead of being caring.
728
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,660
I want to go on an expedition
to the north and south for His Majesty.
729
00:38:16,660 --> 00:38:17,180
I can
730
00:38:17,180 --> 00:38:19,880
lose this life at any time.
731
00:38:20,890 --> 00:38:23,980
I cannot give Yunle happiness.
732
00:38:25,170 --> 00:38:27,370
But
733
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,680
what way can I use
734
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,740
to refuse Empress Dowager’s
request for marriage.
735
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:40,740
The only
736
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,440
way I can think of now
737
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,740
is for Eldest Brother to leave the city.
738
00:38:47,820 --> 00:38:49,990
As for the Princess,
739
00:38:49,990 --> 00:38:50,980
I will meet with her
740
00:38:50,980 --> 00:38:53,770
and clearly explain the gains
and losses of this union.
741
00:38:53,770 --> 00:38:55,420
I will ask her to beg Empress Dowager
742
00:38:55,420 --> 00:38:57,300
to postpone the marriage.
743
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,000
As long as His Majesty's
new policy is stable,
744
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,610
all the other things
745
00:39:01,610 --> 00:39:03,540
will be easy to handle.
746
00:39:04,780 --> 00:39:06,560
But will Empress Dowager
747
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,040
let go her hold easily?
748
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,340
We shall do our best.
749
00:39:22,930 --> 00:39:24,360
So many people
750
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:25,200
came to break
751
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,000
into my mansion
752
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,300
in the deep of the night.
753
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,560
Eunuch Li, what can I do for you?
754
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,980
Empress Dowager has ordered
755
00:39:32,980 --> 00:39:34,850
to build another courtyard in Langshan
756
00:39:34,850 --> 00:39:36,320
that will be the future mansion
of Imperial Son-in-law.
757
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:37,850
Zhao Heng and the others are responsible
758
00:39:37,850 --> 00:39:39,320
for Imperial Son-in-law’s
safety in the future.
759
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,540
Congratulations, General Miao.
760
00:39:41,540 --> 00:39:42,880
Thank you, thank you.
761
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,880
I am going to the military camp
762
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:45,880
to explain some things.
763
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,810
I will go with you then.
764
00:39:47,810 --> 00:39:49,060
By Empress Dowager’ oral edict,
765
00:39:49,060 --> 00:39:50,290
the military camp
766
00:39:50,290 --> 00:39:52,560
is to be handled by General Xue Bi.
767
00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:56,680
General Miao, please.
768
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,120
Please.
769
00:40:38,340 --> 00:40:40,120
Princess,
770
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:42,620
what does it say?
771
00:40:47,780 --> 00:40:51,740
The waterfront is farther every day.
772
00:40:51,740 --> 00:40:57,260
The stars are moving and
the fight is about to turn.
773
00:41:01,410 --> 00:41:03,800
Young Master Qingyuan!
774
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,780
Princess Yunle.
775
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,170
Young Master Qingyuan,
776
00:41:09,170 --> 00:41:11,180
I have just asked for a divination here.
777
00:41:11,180 --> 00:41:14,120
Can Young Master decipher
this sign for me?
778
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:21,900
I do not know what Princess asked about.
779
00:41:21,900 --> 00:41:24,020
Princess asked about predestined marriage.
780
00:41:30,260 --> 00:41:31,820
What’s the matter?
781
00:41:31,820 --> 00:41:34,280
What does this sign mean?
782
00:41:34,540 --> 00:41:37,030
Something that is seemingly close at hand
783
00:41:37,030 --> 00:41:40,660
can be in the remotest corner
of the earth in the next moment.
