[Episode 24]

Who are you?

Your eyes...

I've seen them before.

Don't forget.

It was Muyun Sheng who saved you.

Your Majesty!

Court chant.

Long live the emperor!

Bow.

Court chant.

Long live the emperor!

Bow.

Court chant, again.

Long live the emperor!

Bow!

My subjects...

- Rise! - Ri--

You were dead...

You were dead!

Nanku Qi.

You just told me in my quarters that Lu is missing.

Even if you didn't die then, you should die now!

Your Majesty!

Yu Xin Ji!

Keep this dog alive.

We'll have him beheaded in public.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Yu Xin Ji is to be rewarded for protecting the emperor.

- He's promoted to-- - Your Majesty!

Your subject, Yu Xin Ji, only wishes to remain General of the Royal Dragon Guards

to keep Your Majesty safe from harm!

Granted.

From now on, all guards in the palace shall be managed

by Yu Xin Ji for the time being.

The chair...

May I have it back?

Your Highness, please punish me.

How shall I punish you?

Death.

I...

I can't bear to do so.

Your Majesty...

You've been looking after me.

You must have suffered.

From now on...

I'll protect you.

I won't let you feel any grievances.

Your Majesty...

I've failed you.

Yin Rong!

I've let you down.

Your Majesty...

What did you call me?

Yin Rong.

I missed you.

I'm not her.

I'm not!

I'm not--

Your Majesty...

Yin Rong...

From this day forth...

Apart from attending the royal court

I...

I won't leave you. Not even for a split second.

Really?

Not even a split second?

An emperor does not lie.

In Your Majesty's eyes...

I really am Yin Rong?

Yin Rong...

How should I deal with that wench Nanku's son?

I'll take your advice.

I wouldn't dare to meddle in political affairs.

However, Your Majesty has just recovered from a recurring illness.

It's still... best not to take any lives.

Sure.

Well said.

I'll take your suggestion.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Who just thanked me?

I did.

Yin Rong.

Rise.

Rise.

Rise.

Where is Nanku Yue Li?

Father!

We were obviously affected by someone's magical powers that night!

Why can others use them, but not us?

If our family could also groom our own occultists

we wouldn't have ended up in this predicament!

Your Majesty.

Get up quickly.

Your Majesty is fully recovered?

It seems that I haven't had a friendly match with you in ages.

I have missed it greatly.

If Your Majesty commands me to fight with you now

I won't agree to it.

It's obvious that I could only pretend to lose to you.

It won't make you look good.

On the night of the attempted assassination

I thought that you'd be the one protecting me when I opened my eyes.

Your Majesty!

It's all right.

Am I not just fine?

I believe that Great General must have a reason for your absence.

I've taken over the governance

and I know how hard it must be for you as the regent

but I want to deal with Nanku, who tried to kill me.

The influence of his family has run deep in the past five reigns.

All the other officials are scared to take over this task.

Allow me to be that blade in your hand.

Think it through very carefully.

You'll risk offending many

if you execute five generations of the prestigious Nanku family.

From then on...

all the other officials will target you outright and secretly.

Your Majesty, as long as you trust me...

If I don't trust you, who will protect my sovereignty?

From the moment you wield a blade to kill...

you should know that...

you will also die under a blade.

Nanku Qi attempted to kill the emperor for the throne!

Hence, all men from nine branches of the Nanku family are to be executed!

All female members of the household are forfeited as prostitutes.

Teenagers under the age of 12 are sent as slaves to Ning Prefecture!

I'm doing this to serve as a warning to others.

Prince Yu Xing, Muyun He Ge!

He forged the emperor's decree!

His sins are not to be pardoned.

Hence, he shall be held forever under house arrest.

You draw portraits of Yin Rong.

You eat what Yin Rong liked.

You dress in the outfits that Yin Rong liked.

But there's one thing you should always bear in mind.

You...

You can never become her.

Scram!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Yin... Rong...

Who is Yin Rong?

Love...

of...

a... lifetime.

Give me back what I once had!

Try and find me a spot in your heart again.

Please?

Yin Rong!

Your Majesty, what did you call me?

Yin Rong.

I'm not her.

I'm not--

Nanku Qi attempted to kill the emperor for the throne!

Hence, all men from nine branches of the Nanku family are to be executed!

All female members of the household are forfeited as prostitutes.

Teenagers under the age of 12 are sent as slaves to Ning Prefecture!

Young Mistress!

Young Mistress...

Young Mistress!

Yue Li...

No one but me in this world will ever know...

what it is you desire...

and will be willing to offer it to you.

Is that so?

I'll even risk my life just so that you can have it all.

Whatever ambition you might have...

I will be sure to satisfy.

I give you my heart.

I'll also offer you what you want the most.

Can I believe in you?

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Our greatest dream...

It will soon come true before our eyes.

How should Your Majesty address me?

Empress.

My...

Empress Nanku.

Nanku Yue Li.

Your father dares to kill His Majesty?

His Majesty made you a state-owned prostitute and spared your life.

He's already treated you leniently.

Don't look down on state-owned prostitutes!

We're also some of the best in Tian Qi City!

At least that won't make the Nanku family look bad.

Open the door!

Did you hear me? Open the door!

I refuse to accept this...

I refuse to accept this!

I refuse to accept this...

Master.

Enter.

Mister Qin, thank you for serving us personally.

Master Xue is an important official in the royal court.

Qin Yu Feng is but a mere innkeeper.

Please don't be overly polite.

How are officials like us as carefree as an innkeeper?

Today, we might be important officials

but there's no saying what we might be tomorrow.

Please have some wine.

You won't worry yourself sick after you've had some wine.

Master Gusong.

How many people do you have in your family?

My family has had generations of royal censors.

Our bloodline has dwindled.

I'm already 47 years old.

I have only one son and he's reluctant to get married!

He insisted on serving in the army in Han Prefecture.

Even so, if I count the members of my family's nine branches

there are still about 60 to 70 people.

I have a few more people in mine than yours.

As long as we remain loyal, unlike the treacherous Nanku Qi

I think we should be just fine.

Muyun Sheng saved His Majesty.

If His Majesty take sides with a Charmer again...

he then recalls the past.

What will happen then?

It's about time we figure out a way to keep ourselves alive.

Sir, this is for you.

We didn't order this.

It's fine if you didn't.

It's complimentary.

This is quite an interesting shop.

You'd offer us free food? That's generous.

It's a joyous occasion in the Great Duan Empire.

All businesses are exempt from tax for a year.

Our boss is overjoyed.

He has to offer free food or he can't sleep.

What's the occasion?

We'll get to the state inn of Yue Prefecture tomorrow

after a day's journey.

We'll get some rest there for a few days.

Then we'll head into Qing Yu Ridge.

Your Highness should return to Tian Qi City first.

I've already told you.

I must find the Sovereign Seal.

His Majesty has recovered.

The announcement is posted in the city.

We arrived at night, so we missed it.

His Majesty returned to the royal court.

He has declared amnesty to all.

All apart from the Nanku family.

My father has been severely ill for years.

How did he recover from it?

Muyun Sheng.

Lan Yu'er, step aside!

Watch out!

There's a woman of the Charmers by Sheng's side.

On the night he saved me

many of the servants in the palace saw them.

I'm worried that this might do Sheng some harm.

Why don't we get rid of her?

Yin Rong, how can you say that?

Yin Rong?

I'm worried that Sheng will face the same dilemma as you once did.

He might be forced by others to make a difficult choice.

I...

I thought so as well.

We should get rid of her for Sheng.

We should.

Yin Rong.

Don't you worry.

He's our son.

I... am sure to protect him.

You actually wield magical powers.

Why would you want to learn from me?

I don't have any.

I do!

When we saved Father

it was this young lady and I who retrieved Father's wandering energy.

If you had witnessed it, you'd know what it means to be in sync.

I thought that he was you.

I've kept him hidden for many years.

So...

you wouldn't let me into your mind...

because you were afraid that I would see him?

That's enough!

You should head back.

Leave Pan Xi with me.

For some unknown reason

I really liked you a lot ever since I first saw you.

It felt as if we'd known each other for a very long time.

Let go of her!

What is it?

You find it shameful to have me here?

Yes!

I've been assisting you all this time!

Let go of her!

Muyun Sheng!

I'm more outstanding than you.

I'm the one you're seeking!

Someone has sent you to awaken me.

This should be your mission, right?

Don't try to go against me!

I know that you're powerful.

But compared to me, you're far from it!

All this time, you've trapped me in here.

You've enjoyed the finesse of life.

But it doesn't bother me at all.

I used this chance to work on my powers.

In order to be a good person

the hatred and rage that you've kept bottled up

have made me even more powerful.

I won't vie with you over anything.

But Pan Xi has to belong to me!

She and I are of the same world.

We can enhance each other!

I want to speak to him!

I can't leave this place anyway!

What have you got to fear?

The person who named me...

It should be you.

I'm sorry.

Leave now.

Don't hurt her!

Just come at me!

I like her!

If you won't let me have her...

I'll have her destroyed.

[Muyun military camp, Han Prefecture]

Yan Shuang.

Prince Han.

Why has Your Highness asked for me?

Please rise.

My father has fully recovered.

I've been summoned back to Tian Qi City.

You'll take over temporarily.

That's not appropriate.

General Muru has already retrieved the military power.

He's now rectifying issues with the Muru Cavalry.

You won't have to worry about Han Prefecture's safety.

Han, are you just going to head home

without a gift for the joyous occasion?

Give me a few days.

I'll get you a rare gift to bring home.

You're still the thoughtful one.

Of course.

I should consider more on your behalf.

You're indeed a good brother.

Brother?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I'll take my leave.

Am I beautiful?

Am I beautiful?

You are. You're stunning!

Get up.

Yes.

A brother?

Muyun Han, are you blind?

God Pandar.

Bestow grace upon him.

Speed up!

We must get to Northern Han in three days!

If so, I want...

werewolves.

Werewolves have always been but a legend.

No one knows if they truly exist.

Some say that they are just a species of horse.

Some say that they are actually wolves.

They are wild beasts that can't be approached.

You...

Aren't you going to become the king of the world?

Didn't you agree to help me become the king of Han Prefecture?

I...

If I don't have a good war horse

how can I possibly defeat the Muru Cavalry?

Werewolves...

Where are they?
