Why

do they ground in this place?

Something might went wrong in the royal palace.

Something wrong?

But don’t worry, princess.

They won’t do anything to you.

Besides,

we have Duke Duan.

What can it be?

I don’t know.

But the emperor always loves you.

They dare to reach to you,

then it means

maybe even the emperor can’t do anything

to them.

Even Father can’t do anything?

How’s that possible?

Maybe all of this

is related to Lord Ye.

What should we do now?

Let’s wait.

If something terrible happened in the palace,

everyone,

including Lord Bo,

Duke Duan,

Madam Yuan,

and all the officials,

will do something.

[House of Yuan]

Madam,

Madam.

Did you get any news?

The royal palace is controlled by Dragon and Tiger Army

Our people can’t get in,

and massages can’t be sent out.

Something must went wrong.

How about Lord Bo?

He got the order to inspect Xiangzhou, right?

He should’ve got the news by now.

He’s halfway there.

It will take a day or two for him to get back

once he got the news.

Mr. Nian,

Go to Weizhou.

Madam,

you want to ask General Yang?

If things in the royal palace

are out of control,

we’ll have to turn to Yang Shihou.

Give one of the letters to Yuan,

and for the other one, take it with yourself

and go to Weizhou.

Yang Shihou has the military power of Weizhou.

Even the emperor won’t deal with him rashly.

I’ve known him for more than 20 years.

No matter what happened,

he won’t just set aside.

Yes,

ma’am.

I’ll go to Weizhou.

What about you?

I’ll go to the royal palace.

Don’t, ma’am.

How about this,

We go to Weizhou together,

and no matter what happens

in the palace,

you’ll stay safe

with General Yang’s protection.

I won’t go anywhere.

I’ll go to see him.

Him?

Madam,

forgive me.

But after so many years,

can’t you see it through?

The emperor,

he’s not the right one for you.

He never was.

I know.

I always know.

The moment I gave up everything

and went to him,

he refused me

for power and title.

I knew

in his heart,

I have never been the most important one.

If I stay with him,

my whole life is destined to be unworthy.

Then why do you still…

Because I can’t see it through.

I can’t let it go.

I

always blamed Qingli for being obsessed

with the general of the enemy,

which put herself in danger

and her wish can hardly be fulfilled.

I blamed

Yuan too in my heart.

Mu Beiyan is a man of feelings.

He loves her so much.

But in her mind,

all she think about

is that biased

Duke Duan, Jing Ci

who set us apart for 18 years.

Two ladies

are so like you.

Yes,

they are.

They are indeed.

Once we fell in love,

even knowing it’s wrong,

we would rather die than to let it go.

If my life will be wronged,

all I wish is the two men that are going to marry my daughters

will not wrong them.

I heard Mr. Li Yuan

is a man with responsibility and courage.

He really loves Miss Qingli.

While Miss Yuan,

both Lord Junior

and Duke Duan

treat her

with genuine love.

I can be relieved

as long as they can be happy.

Well, I

have struggled for more than 20 years.

Time to end everything.

Madam!

[Jianzhang Palace]

Your majesty.

Madam Yuan,

you are smart.

Now

is not the time to be sad.

Should we talk about

how we are going to cooperate?

How to cooperate?

I know Jing Ci and Mu Beiyan

went out of the town after your daughter.

Seems that the two of them

can always do whatever your daughter says.

I don’t need then to do whatever my daughter says.

I just hope they treat my daughter with a genuine heart.

Write a letter to you daughter,

tell her to ask Jing Ci and Mu Beiyan

to come back immediately.

I promise you, the Palace of Yuan will

still enjoy all the privileges and luxury as you used to do.

And your daughters will stay safe and sound.

What are you going to do?

I’m the emperor’s son.

What can’t I do?

But the woman who gave birth to you

is a prostitute.

How can you be so sure

that your father is the emperor?

Did your prostitute mother

told you that?

She lied to you.

You are a bastard that nobody wants.

That’s nonsense!

How dare you

to slander on my mother and me!

Your highness,

bad news.

Lord Bo came to the palace.

So quick!

I can finally be with you.

Dear brother,

you made me

wait for so long.

People are saying that you lock the royal palace,

forbidding anyone to come in and out.

What did you do?

Come on, brother,

how can I be capable of doing that?

How can I control

the army in the royal palace?

That’s the order from Father.

How’s Father?

What happened?

Someone poisoned Father’s food.

He has been deeply poisoned.

Imperial physicians are keeping him safe

by medicines.

Father command us to lock up the royal palace

before we find the murderer.

So he sent someone to summon you back.

He wants you to find the truth.

Brother.

Go.

He’s awake now.

But

I didn’t

get any edict

that Father summons us to come back.

That’s impossible.

We sent the best messengers

who can travel 800 miles a day.

He should’ve reached Xiangzhou by now.

By the way

brother,

father was really scared

at this murder.

I don’t think you should bring anyone with you

when you go inside

to cause any kind of misunderstandings.

Right?

I don’t need you to remind me that.

I understand.

I won’t bring so many people inside

and disturb Father.

Yes.

Brother,

Father is still waiting for you inside.

Is my mother okay?

Everything was fine when I left.

But Mr. Nian went to Weizhou.

Weizhou?

Yes.

My mother says

if I have enough rest,

do not go back to the capital first.

Things are not clear there.

We should go to the Weizhou first

She’ll

join us later in Weizhou.

Seems that something really happened in the capital.

Your mother

is not confident about protecting the Palace of Yuan.

So she’s going to take you

to Weizhou to avoid troubles.

General Yang of Weizhou

is a friend of my father’s.

He has been your mother’s friend

since childhood.

It’s not a bad idea

to go to him.

But

Jing Ci and the rest of them have gone back to the capital.

If your mother realized something’s wrong,

he can find it too.

Do you think he and Lord Qing

will just go to the capital unguarded

and be manipulated by others?

Maybe

they are scheming against others

somewhere.

What about

we send someone

to the capital to get some news,

and see

if we can get contact with Mother and Jing Ci,

or even get some

concrete messages.

While we are waiting for the news,

you should have more recovery.

If we have to go to Weizhou,

the trip

will be long and exhausting.

Ci,

why don’t we go to the royal palace now

since we are already back in the capital?

Why do we come here?

Please be patient, your highness.

We need to wait for someone first.

Who?

Duke Duan.

Lord Qing.

Who are you?

It doesn’t matter who I am.

What matters is that

the emperor hasn’t shown up for days.

Something terrible might’ve happened.

What?

They said he’s just critically ill.

That’s a smoke bomb.

He is arrogant and self-abased

because of his humble mother.

He did everything he can to prove himself.

Lord Ye controlled the whole royal palace first,

and grounded all the princes and princess.

Yesterday Madam Yuan

and Lord Bo went into the royal palace

and both were detained by him.

Then he told others fake edict

and messed the whole court up.

He’s insane.

He’s absolutely insane.

Father has always treated him well.

How can he do such terrible things?

What he did is frenzied

and unforgivable.

Lord Ye has taken charge of the whole game.

If your highness and Duke Duan show up now,

you are killing yourselves in vein.

Don’t do anything

if you don’t have a safe solution.

Ci,

then

what should we do now?

Lord Ye should’ve lost his mind

after he’s demoted to Laizhou.

He’s good at pretending,

so he should try to

save his reputation.

At least,

he’ll pretend to be loyal and a good son

in front of officials.

He won’t make it obvious to kill me or Lord Qing.

You mean

we can show up?

Yes,

and bow down to him.

What we should do first

is to preserve our strength

and contend with him.

Don’t worry, Duke Duan,

I can help you

let his guard down against Duke Duan and your highness

for a moment.

What about Princess Changle?

I understand,

I will help Princess Changle get out.

Sorry about that.

All I want

is to fight against Lord Ye.

If I can revenge,

everything I did is worthwhile.

Heng, hurry up!

I just saw the tomb

Mr. Jing built for Doctor Zuo.

He should still be somewhere nearby.

That stupid Feng Mianwan.

She’s always a curse no matter where she goes.

She brought so much trouble to Mr. jing!

Aunt,

don’t say that about her.

Do you know

actually...

Shut up!

They are Lord Ye’s people.

They always want to kill Mr. Jing.

Will they hurt them?

Beiyan,

have you

packed everything?

Yes.

And this too.

What’s this?

Claw Hook.

Used for climbing walls.

If they don’t

let us go in

once we arrived Weizhou,

we’ll use this to climb and get in there.

Lord He,

Feng Ting brought people here.

You go with her first,

I’ll bring up the rear.

Let’s go.

Let’s go.

We should step out of this.

But don’t you think it will make her feel worse

to be saved by me

rather to be killed by someone else?

Stop!

Where did you

sucker Mr. Jing to go?

I’ve found out

he has been stayed with you the whole time.

It must be you

that told him not to see me,

right?

You are just like your mother, seductive.

You tricked Lord Junior first,

then wheedled Mr. Jing

so that he can forget his mother’s death

and never talk to me

or even see me.

See?

What you get in return

for your good intention?

I’m not expecting anything in return.

I just did what I want to do.

How she thinks about that

is her own business.

I don’t care.

Let’s go.

Leave that mischief alone.

Yuan doesn’t want to talk to you,

but I want to tell you something

for the sake of Duke Duan.

You stole Madam Yuan’s daughter,

because

you believe

Madam Yuan

is the murderer of Lord Yong’s wife.

But do you know that

the murderer

is not Madam Yuan

but Concubine Zhang?

What a nonsense!

The badges those killers had

were from the Palace of Yuan.

It shows clearly the word Yuan on it.

How stupid

a person needs to be

to be fooled by that kind of nonsense?

Who will let the killer wear his badge

when he sends him to kill someone?

So that he can tell everyone

that he did this?

How can you believe

such a fabrication?

A

fabrication?

Do you know

the emperor has found

the subordinates

Concubine Zhang sent to kill you?

Do you know

Lord Qing knows this too,

and that’s why he came along

to remove the resentment between the last generations?

Do you know

Madam Yuan and Miss Yuan are not villains,

but you

are the villain

who stole her daughter and set them apart?

No, that’s impossible.

How can I be wrong?

Besides,

it’s because Chu Yuluo

who seduced the emperor

and killed my madam.

Come on.

Everyone knows Madam Yuan

was the emperor’s first lover.

Everyone knows Concubine Zhang

is the emperor’s original wife.

Other people were just

seducing the emperor,

only your madam was legitimate to be close with the emperor?

Don’t think highly of yourself.

Where’s Mr. Jing.

I need to see him.

You are hopeless.

If Duke Duan were still here,

why do we still need to do anything?

He has gone back to the capital with Lord Qing in secret.

Nonsense!

That’s just nonsense!

Heng,

Heng,

did you hear that?

They call white black and black white,

that I’m the villain

who separated her from her mother.

Aunt,

it’s true.

Madam Yuan explained this to Mr. Jing,

and he asked me to look into this too.

Seems that

we did wrong Madam Yuan.

Concubine hate our madam

because the emperor were going to

marry Concubine Jing

and demoted her.

So she commanded someone to kill Concubine Jing

with the badge from the Palace of Yuan.

Madam Yuan was wronged,

as for Miss Yuan, she’s been treated even more unjustly.

She’s born in a noble family,

and did nothing wrong.

Yet she was brought to her enemy as a humble maid.

Shut up!

Stop!

Stop!

We’ve said everything we should say,

it’s up to her to believe it or not.

Alright,

let’s go.

Heng.

Aunt,

at your service.

They said Mr. Jing went back.

Not sure if it’s true.

You go back to the capital first,

and find him.

I should stay with you.

No,

find Mr. Jing first.

I’ll stay.

Go find him.

Alright then.

Aunt,

take care.

Are you okay?

Go.

Go.

Come on.

Go!

Go!

Go!

Follow them!

Yes, sir.

I owe you before.

Now

we are even.

Run.

You can’t get away.

Are you afraid?

Life and death is destined.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Then go with me.

They won’t survive.

Let’s go.

Our lord still

needs our help.

Yes, sir.

Who is it?

I’m with Duke Duan.

He sent me to come to tell you something.

Ci?

Don’t trust her.

Maybe it’s Lord Ye sent someone on purpose

to test us.

Mr. Jing said

princess has done a favor for him in the hunting field,

he promised

he’ll do everything he can to help you

if you are in trouble.

Thank you, princess.

If you need my help

in the future,

I’ll do everything I can.

What she said is true.

Nobody else

knows this

except Duke Duan.

How is Duke Duan now?

How is everything going

out there?

Princess,

Mr. Zhao,

listen to me carefully.

Princess,

princess.

Don’t.

Everything will be fine.

Then what should we do now?

Lord Ye is disloyal,

and he will be punished.

The emperor

hasn’t shown up for days.

This

never happened before.

You tell me.

Did you know

the other day,

people outside of the royal palace heard the sound of fighting

from inside at night.

Now

Han Qing, the commander of Dragon and Tiger Army

has led thousands of soldiers

and guarded the royal palace inside out.

Be careful about saying that!

Yeah.

Lord Ye is here,

Father

died

yesterday at 2 am.

- Your majesty! - Your majesty!

He left an edict before his death.

Listen, everyone!

The emperor says:

I am critically ill,

and unable to recover.

This should be destined.

Lord Ye

is innocent and honest,

loyal and sensible.

He shall be the next emperor.

All the courtiers should fulfill their responsibility

to support the emperor

to protect

our country.

Hereby I announce

my testament to people.

Wasn’t the emperor

intended to set Lord Bo as the princess?

When father became severely ill,

I told Lord Bo immediately.

But Lord Bo was evil minded

and behaved aggressively and willfully.

Father was so exasperated

that banished him

to the north before he died.

That’s nonsense!

Emperor

has ordered

to imprison you

because of the huge mistake you’ve made the other day.

And he was going to demote you to Laizhou.

How come he would let you to inherit the throne?

This edict

must be fake.

That’s not true.

With Lord Bo being banished,

the throne should be Lord Ye’s

since he’s the eldest son

of the deceased emperor.

Say something!

I get it.

You

plotted this together.

You care for nothing but your own life.

My emperor,

our country is in danger now!

Someone!

No need.

I

will follow

the deceased emperor.

Take him out.

Is there anyone

disagree with me inheriting the throne?

Your majesty!

Long live the king!

Your majesty!

Long live the king!

Your majesty,

this is your favorite soothing soup.

Not now.

Feng Ting.

Yes, your majesty.

Duke Duan was sick at home,

but he wrote a letter himself to congratulate me,

even Changle wrote this

with Zhao Yan together

to congratulate me on ascending the throne.

Do you think

I should keep them or not?

Cut the weeds

and dig up the roots.

Forgive me, your majesty.

I was scared by

the words of slaughtering,

and lost hold of it.

Come.

Come to me.

Don’t be afraid.

Xiaohan was afraid that my hero

might be wronged by others.

Why?

If all your brothers and sisters

died somehow

when they are young.

If people talk about it,

if they don’t know where the line is,

and offend you,

of course they shouldn’t be exempted.

But Father just died,

and they knew they should keep out of the way.

If we act too harshly,

suspicion might rise.

Won’t that hurt your reputation?

What do you think?

Wise as you,

you have the whole country under your control.

Now that they don’t have the power

to compete with you,

and they are willing to abide by the God’s will

and acknowledge their allegiance to you,

is it still necessary to kill them?

Why don’t we keep them alive

so keep people stay quiet about this?

Okay,

now that you said so,

I’ll leave them alone.

Feng Ting,

keep an eye on Duke Duan and Changle.

Don’t kill them now.

Send someone

to ask about Duke Duan’s condition.

If he is severely ill

and can’t get up,

then just let him.

Lord Qing

is always a coward,

I believe he does not dare to stand against me.

Yes, sir.

Your highness,

just stay here without any worry.

If anyone dares to tell your secrets,

I’ll kill him.

Beiyan,

don’t blame me for being cruel.

But you stand

in my way.

Now I’m the emperor,

no one dares to look down on me.

But then no one

can talk everything

and have a drink with me

like you do.

Trust me,

I’ll grant you the title of General of National Defense,

so that everyone

will pay respect to you.

Your majesty,

Yao Chengshi from Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar is here.

Your majesty,

I’m Yao Chengshi from Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar.

I had a dream when I was having a nap

that a sunny sky suddenly broke

into half.

What does it imply?

Your majesty,

broken sky forebodes ominousness.

It might implies the danger of country splits.

I was about to

report this to you.

I watched the stars last night,

and saw the Polaris

dim and flickering,

which forebodes misfortune comes from within.

Your majesty, you should be careful

that people around you might do harm to you.

Someone around me?

Qiao Li

impeached the leader of Longxiang Army

Huang Shijian for disrespecting me,

is he going to rise in rebellion?

Longxiang Army is stationed in the southwest of the capital,

and in the current solar term,

it is the inauspicious gate.

His surname is ominous,

which corresponds with your dream.

Maybe it is what it suggests.

Send my order.

Arrest Huang Shijian.

Find out if he

did any rebellion.

Yes, your majesty.
