Episode 7

16

Imperial Astrologer, His Majesty has been bothered by nightmares all night and wasn't able to sleep well.

17

Hurry and look if there are ghosts or souls disturbing him.

18

I already said it. I won't go.

19

But your supernatural power is the best here. I can only look for you. Please hurry and go.

20

Hua Yuan'er, His Majesty is looking for you.

21

Yes. I'll go right now.

22

- Imperial Astrologer--

- Go now. Or else, His Majesty will get angry again.

23

Yes.

24

Tian Rujing! What grudges do your master have with Rong Zhi?

25

Rong Zhi has the fate of the greedy wolf.

26

He is a naturally born sinister and cunning person. Master has tried many times to eliminate him.

27

But Princess can't bear to lose him because of his looks and you made him stay in your manor.

28

Master and Rong Zhi then had an agreement.

29

Unless he is able to overturn his defeated state, or else, he will forever stay in the Princess Manor.

30

What bullshit fate are you talking about now?

31

If it is really like you said, now that your Master is dead, how can he still stop Rong Zhi?

32

I will inherit the agreement between Master and Rong Zhi.

33

Fine. I'll temporarily put aside your grudges with Rong Zhi.

34

I want you to immediately see His Majesty and tell him

35

that you can dispel all those ghosts and tell him to not be afraid from now on.

36

I don't know how to dispel ghosts.

37

I don't care if you know to or not. It's enough that you know how to right now.

38

After this matter is done, I will give you abundant rewards.

39

I don't lie.

40

You don't lie?

41

Why then did your Master rely on the technique of foretelling fate to fool the emperor and hurt innocent people?

42

- Master didn't lie.

- He did!

43

You are also lying. You liars who rely on fortune telling to fool the world!

44

There are no greedy wolf or seven-death. All are just lies you use for you own profit!

45

Master fears that the citizens will suffer from the disaster of wars, hence, he kept trying to eliminate the greedy wolf and seven-death.

46

But sadly, he suffered heaven's retribution and died early.

47

Before Master died, he instructed me to strictly abide by the law of nature.

48

I must not repeat his mistakes.

49

Humans cannot go against the will of the heaven.

50

But I have always held my fate in my own hands.

51

I will prove that to you.

52

Fashi, will you also kill me?

53

In the whole world, you're the only one that's good to me.

54

How can I kill you?

55

Sister, I'm not afraid. You also shouldn't be afraid,

56

because I will protect you.

57

Rong Zhi, I want to ask you one question.

58

Princess, please say it.

59

If...I'm just saying if,

60

you used to hate someone so much

61

to the point of wanting to kill him to feel contented,

62

but you suddenly discovered that the two of you are very closely-related,

63

and that he is not really as cruel and vicious as you imagined,

64

what will you do?

65

Princess is hesitating if you're going to implement your initial plan or not?

66

Right.

67

I want to know what I should do.

68

What are you doing?!

69

You're being too disrespectful! Be careful for I might have your life taken!

70

I just want to ask your heart.

71

What do you mean?

72

Your heart is telling me that it's wavering.

73

What really are you doing?

74

If Princess kills him, will your heart get hurt?

75

Just to not let this heart get hurt, it's better that you don't kill him.

76

What you said is right. Killing will not solve any problem.

77

I will change him.

78

Why is Princess being very firm?

79

Others will usually say 'I want to' but not 'I will'.

80

It's not because I want to, it's a must.

81

Only by doing this can I strive to earn myself a path to survive.

82

I'll start today.

83

Rong Zhi, thank you.

84

Zhu Que.

85

Zhu Que, you're back.

86

Fendai, are you worried about me?

87

You went into the palace alone. I was worried that Liu Ziye will see through you.

88

There are a lot of things to take care of for Empress Dowager's funeral, so I returned late.

89

You didn't need to wait for me.

90

I might be very busy in the next few days.

91

Why?

92

Nothing really. It's because Liu Ziye kept having nightmares and kept pestering me.

93

That's good then. The more he sticks to you, the more you'll have the chance to kill him.

94

What you said is right. It's just that Lin Mu is very suspicious of me.

95

When I was accompanying Liu Ziye last night, he actually checked on us 3 times.

96

That's why, I better just wait for now.

97

I understand.

98

Hope you can mediate my situation to Pavilion Master.

99

Pavilion Master has been rushing us numerous times.

100

But I guarantee that I'll think of ways

101

to beg Pavilion Master in giving us some more time.

102

Fendai, thanks.

103

Silly girl, why are you thanking me?

104

Fendai, hope that when you learn the truth,

105

you won't put me in a difficult spot.

106

[Muxue Courtyard]

107

You're saying that Princess is inviting land-owning clans and distinguished personalities in the Bamboo Banquet?

108

Yes. Hope Menke Rong can help us with it.

109

Of course.

110

Master, although the Liu clan is of royal status,

111

they started from humble beginnings.

112

Their relationship with the land-owning families of Jiankang has always been not good.

113

Princess has always loathed and hated them. Why is she inviting them now?

114

Of course, it's for Liu Ziye.

115

I don't get it.

116

For the Liu clan, Princess is drawing the land-owning clans to their side and placating the hearts of people.

117

How is that possible? Princess has always acted in an absurd manner.

118

In terms of extravagant spending and seeking pleasures, she indeed is an expert. But pulling the land-owning class to her side...

119

That's totally so funny.

120

Not everyone has the courage to keep going resolutely

121

despite knowing that the task is impossible.

122

What should we do then?

123

Wait a little more.

124

Your Majesty, all the ministers are in the Eastern Hall waiting for you to attend the morning court.

125

Your Majesty.

126

I'm not going! I'm not going!

127

Your Majesty...

128

All the ministers are in the Eastern Hall waiting for you to attend the morning court, Your Majesty!

129

Your Majesty, it's better that you go out. You haven't attended the morning court for a month already.

130

Your Majesty... I'm serious, Your Majesty. If you still don't

131

- go out, if you still don't go out today...

- I'm not going! I'm not going!

132

they will charge into here, Your Majesty.

133

- Your Majesty, calm down!

- Your Majesty...

134

- Calm down! Your Majesty...

- I'm not going!

135

Your Majesty...

136

- I'm not going!

- Your Majesty!

137

Princess.

138

Sister!

139

Sorry, I didn't mean to do it. Are you alright?

140

Fashi, who angered you?

141

Who told you all to be here? Leave!

142

Go now...

143

Sister, these past few days, I kept thinking about the ghost story that you told me last time.

144

I find it scary and fun. Tell me some more, okay?

145

Sure. I'll tell you another story today.

146

Okay.

147

I'll tell you about the story of our past emperor Liu Yu.

148

Why are you talking about him?

149

Sister, I heard enough stories about him from those white beard old man. Don't talk about him anymore.

150

My story is different from your teachers. What your teacher told you are uninteresting histories.

151

But what I will tell you

152

are interesting stories about him. Are you going to listen or not?

153

How interesting?

154

Legend says, that when the past emperor was born, it was a time of great drought.

155

But on that day he was born, it suddenly rained.

156

The drought got resolved. Later on, a lot of people said

157

that the past emperor is a very blessed person.

158

But when he grew up, his family was very poor.

159

He had to sell straw sandals to live.

160

My teacher hasn't told me that before.

161

Of course, he can't say it. Our Liu family used to be a poor clan.

162

Your teacher is your subject. If he said that, that's being disrespectful.

163

And then what? Sister, continue with your story.

164

Afterwards, the past emperor joined the army.

165

And then, he achieved merits and got promoted to a staff sergeant.

166

Later on, people gifted him an amber pillow.

167

But who knew that he'd shatter it right there and then.

168

He wanted that they be used to treat those injured soldiers.

169

It must be because he doesn't now to appreciate the value of that pillow.

170

It's not that. Afterwards, there was one time

171

that our ancestor fell of from his horse during a battle.

172

He almost died.

173

But those soldiers that benefited from the medicine he gave

174

risked their lives to protect him, hence, he was saved.

175

As the old saying goes, 'Throw me a papaya

176

and I'll repay you with qiongju jade.'

177

If not because past emperor was considerate and kind to his men,

178

why would those men risk their lives to save him?

179

That's why, Fashi, you must remember this.

180

No matter if you are the lofty emperor or not, you must treat others well.

181

This way, they will repay you exponentially.

182

Sister, you tell stories better than them. What happened after?

183

Afterwards...

184

Afterwards, there was a person who wanted to confused the past emperor.

185

Princess, no matter how you urge him,

186

you won't be able to cure a person that's already severely ill.

187

Fashi is just a young man.

188

Everyone is calling him a muddled king,

189

but no one is willing to tell him what he should do.

190

I don't know how much I can do.

191

What the effect will be.

192

But I will do my best.

193

What you're doing is against the will of the Heaven.

194

It's useless.

195

Tian Rujing,

196

you walk your Heaven's path, and I'll walk my single-plank bridge.

197

Let's just rely on our own abilities.

198

Princess has been busy organizing this scroll.

199

I asked someone to copy it.

200

This is the Princess organizing the deeds of different emperors from different dynasties.

201

There are about pioneering emperors, the governance of wise emperors,

202

and mismanagement by muddled kings.

203

She especially chose those with fun historical facts.

204

She really put a lot of effort in this.

205

Why is she doing this?

206

Of course, it's to narrate them to Liu Ziye.

207

Silently influencing and guiding him to be a good emperor.

208

Don't know how many ministers have Liu Ziye killed that have used blunt words to remonstrate him.

209

Princess is planning to use another path.

210

No wonder. When she returns here, she'd immediately look into and read those historical and classical scrolls.

211

She even asked for a storytelling scholar to teach her. She sorted out these stories one by one.

212

She worked until very late last night and then entered the palace upon daybreak.

213

Worked until very late night?

214

Never thought that she'll be this diligent just for Liu Ziye.

215

Are the preparations for the Princess' banquet complete already?

216

Yes. Huan Yuan has been doing his best to prepare it.

217

I heard that he's been looking for a famous zither lately.

218

Thank you. Go to rest now.

219

Yes.

220

The first emperor Qin united the land into one, the emperor of the Qin dynasty (T/N: one emperor for all ages),

221

got destroyed in the hands of Zhao Gao and Hu Hai.

222

Warn Fashi to be careful of Hua Yuan'er.

223

The rogue Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu,

224

simply because he's good in using the right people and skilled in mind battles,

225

has a thick facial skin and dark heart (T/N: shameless and scheming). Remind Fashi

226

to use his mind more than his hands.

228

Youlan...

229

Youlan!

230

Princess.

231

Come in.

232

Princess, your voice is already hoarse.

233

If you keep drinking cold water, you might not be able to talk already later.

234

Open your mouth.

235

Princess, if you don't open your mouth, how could I check it?

236

Or do you wish to never get better?

237

You had talked too long and didn't take a good rest after. You have hurt your throat.

238

I have a medicinal pill here that's mainly to protect one's throat. Take one per day.

239

Remember, don't talk anymore, so as not to increase the damage.

240

I can't.

241

No matter what you want to do, you must first protect your own voice.

242

If you keep being reckless like this, don't think of talking again in the future.

243

Didn't you invite distinguished and aristocratic people to come three days from now?

244

If you're unable to talk by then, that's very disrespectful.

245

Fine. I'll listen to you.

246

But, you must dance during the banquet.

247

The second condition?

248

Doesn't Sir Xiao hate Brother Zichu a lot? Why did you come here too?

249

I just want to know what trick he is plotting.

250

All the guests are here. How come only Brother Zichu is missing?

251

Sir, please be at ease. My Master will be here soon.

252

Deliberately mystifying oneself, such a joke.

253

Look at the Qi River bends and the succession of green bamboos.

254

Elegant lord is a gentleman. Through exchanging ideas, his knowledge has become more exquisite.

255

Through pondering, his morals has gotten better. Has a solemn bearing and magnanimous heart.

256

- Has an illustrious and dignified status.

- This Qiyu poem paired with sword dancing in a bamboo forest really brings out the best of each other.

257

- It's hard to forget a heart like that.

- This is really so clever.

258

This person's dancing isn't obscene at all.

259

The bamboo his holding feels as if it's a rare precious sword.

260

He's able to show off both the sharpness of his sword blade and spearhead. (T/N: Able to show off one's outstanding qualties)

261

A good poem, a good scene, but there's no good tune.

262

It's really such a pity.

263

Men, serve the tea.

264

Yes.

265

"Can be pure-hearted?"

266

These words are in this cup of tea.

267

It's really a perfect match.

268

Incorrect. It's clearly "Pure-hearted is possible too". You are wrong.

269

It should be "Can be pure-hearted too"

270

Everyone is right.

271

No matter where the word starts or ends, it's complete.

272

Continuous inspiration. It's interesting.

273

Everyone, my master is here.

274

My apologies, everyone. I overslept and came late.

275

You don't need to apologize. We all came in high spirits and was entertained with dance and music.

276

There are also abundance of fresh fruits here. I'm having a lot of fun.

277

Whether you are here or not, we are grateful to you for preparing this.

278

But it's a pity...

279

What's so pitiful?

280

There is an inscription in this zither, 'wood oil tree and catalpa combined to create perfection'.

281

This is a luqi zither of Sima Xiangru.

282

Such a famous zither ending up in the hands of foul person,

283

isn't that a pity?

284

This is Sir Xiao indeed know Princess Shanyin.

285

She might have done obscene things to him before,

286

hence, he is bearing such deep grudges against her.

287

If I'm unable to make convince him and make him concede to me, the didn't I come here in vain?

288

This is indeed luqi.

289

It's just that it really got placed in a difficult position today

290

for getting played by a an unpopular position. It really got tortured a lot.

291

Such boorish tune is really a waste of such a good zither.

292

Arrogant! Last year, there was someone willing to pay 1,000 gold in exchange for Sir Xiao's zither performance but he didn't get it.

293

How could you belittle him like that? You're being too arrogant!

294

For Fashi, I must get into this famous land-owning clan level.

295

Let these people with such keen eyes and high intelligence to submit to me.

296

I must succeed in today's battle.

297

I thought there would be something novel today.

298

In the end, it's just showing off one's eloquence.

299

I am unwilling to share this bamboo forest with a dirty person like you.

300

If you keep staying here, you'll dirty the air already.

301

I'm leaving.

302

Sir Xiao,

303

you like this zither very much?

304

Of course. But you are not worthy to have it.

305

I spent 10,000 gold to buy this luqi.

306

Too bad...

307

How could you just throw such a good zither because of anger?

308

A dispute caused by personal feelings.

309

Master spent 10,000 gold to buy a zither. Now that it is destroyed,

310

there is naturally a reason behind doing so.

311

What are you doing?!

312

Why must one keep a zither that has already been dirtied by vulgar music?

313

You're saying that what I played is vulgar music? Then you play one and let's see.

314

If you're not a chef, you can't taste the food anymore?

315

Your skill in playing the zither is indeed close to perfection.

316

But let me ask you, where is the heart of your zither?

317

Sir Xiao, let me ask you, what is a zither?

318

Subtle elegance and plainly far reaching sound

319

is what's beyond worldly.

320

But what about you? What do you use a zither for?

321

To make oneself become famous? Perform for someone else? For a human's enjoyment?

322

You really can't distinguish bad from good.

323

Sir Xiao playing for us is out of friendship. What do you know?!

324

Fallacies! He seeks fame and gains

325

using the zither as his weapon. In the the sound of you zither,

326

I am unable to hear any distant feelings or even slightly profound meaning.

327

Other than a perfect playing skill, it was empty.

328

Blinding your eyes with your proud and aloof heart. Stuffing your ears with your unique and above everyone else heart.

329

Making oneself heartless because of a miserly heart.

330

But where have your zither heart go?

331

Sima Xiangru used a luqi to express his love.

332

But what about you? You used it as as tool to show off.

333

When people granted you the title Thousand Dollar Lord,

334

you even felt complacent with it.

335

For a zither being played by a person like you, it should indeed be destroyed.

336

I've been famous for so long. My heart is already not the same when I started playing.

337

Thank you for waking me up.

338

I was wrong, Brother Zichu. You are a magnanimous person.

339

I am inferior to you. Being able to convince and make Thousand Gold Lord admit defeat,

340

Brother Zichu is indeed outstanding. It's just too bad for this famous zither.

341

But being able to hear the discussion between you two is not a waste of our time to come here.

342

Master, there is a lady named Zhong Niannian that's asking to see you.

343

Zhong Niannian? That world's number one beauty

344

- Zhong Niannian?

- The famous rare beauty of Jiankang, Zhong Niannian?

345

Hurry and let her in!

346

Please forgive me for coming here uninvited.

347

You indeed live up to your fame.

348

But why did you come here?

349

I heard that the master of Chu Courtyard bought luqi.

350

I rudely come to ask to see it.

351

Lady, you've come late. The famous zither has been destroyed.

352

This is really such a pity. Such a good zither.

353

Lady, you are...

354

This zither initially was in the hands of our lady. She initially planned to use it to look for her fated husband

355

so she can break away from the world of brothels, hence, she sold this zither.

356

It's to look for a master for this zither and to look for a husband for herself.

357

How come it got destroyed?

358

Who did lady choose to be her husband?

359

How come we never heard of it?

360

That's right. If Lady will be gone, what's the point of staying in Jiankang?

361

Why don't we just follow lady to where she goes?

362

That's right, Lady, you must not abandon us.

363

I told you to look for a famous zither. How come it ended up to be hers?

364

There was a person selling it on the street at a high price that day. I also didn't who its master was.

365

Are you Sir Yu?

366

You bought this zither?

367

Yes.

368

I am willing to entrust the rest of my life to you.

369

Could it be you dislike me for having a lowly status

370

and is not worthy to be your wife?

371

Lady's good intention...I can't accept it.

372

Brother Zichu, Niannian is Jiankang City's most beautiful woman.

373

Since she's willing to entrust you the rest of her life, you shouldn't refuse her.

374

Sir need not fabricate words or make excuses to refuse me.

375

Either way, you're not willing to have me, is that it?

376

It's not like that.

377

It's just...

378

You and I have never seen each other. I fear that I might delay your future.

379

Forgive me for being unable to agree with your request.

380

I believe in fate. Since you have bought my zither,

381

we then are fated to be together. I do know of my status.

382

I don't ask to be your concubine,

383

but just to be able to accompany you. Even as a servant is fine with me.

384

No... I can't agree to this.

385

Lady, don't unduly humble yourself.

386

I believe that if you just patiently wait,

387

you surely will find your perfect man.

388

You are belittling our Lady!

389

That's right, our Lady is not seeking to be a main wife, but you won't even accept her even as a servant.

390

Do you know how many people love our Lady?

391

Some of the men here had previously employed all means to please her,

392

yet you only treat her as a cattail leaf. You're too much!

393

You not only forsook Lady, you also trampled on the dignity of the lords here.

394

That's not what I mean!

395

Don't say it anymore.

396

It's all my fault. I disturbed your gathering.

397

Starting today, I will not appear in Jiankang again.

398

The more I won't dirty your sight again.

399

This...

400

With you hurting a beautiful woman like that, be careful of getting hit by thunder.

401

You don't know how many times I've asked an audience with her, but Niannian never paid attention to me.

402

You actually dared to tarnish my ideal beautiful woman?

403

I've eaten fruits that you served today.

404

- I'm giving it back to you. Let's go!

- Let's go!

405

Everyone! Everyone!

406

♫ If the seawater can be like a dream, carefree and leisurely ♫

407

♫ My love, if you are sad, I get sad too ♫

408

♫ If the southern winds learn about my love ♫

409

♫ Please blow my dream to Xizhou ♫

410

Princess.

411

Princess!

412

Princess?

413

Master Wang seems not surprised about Zichu's identity.

414

With such an ingenious arrangement, not one item here was inexpensive.

415

Having a power and wealth like this,

416

he surely will be from the royal family.

417

It's just that I never expected it to be a princess.

418

But this is just a banquet.

419

Why must she be that mad?

420

Just for this banquet, Princess bought all the ice in Jiankang City.

421

That is to preserve a numerous amount of fruits stored somewhere near here.

422

It shows a lot about her sincerity.

423

Now that the banquet got botched like this, of course, she would be angry.

424

For Princess to exert this much effort,

425

was she trying to pull the land-owning class of Jiankang to her side?

426

Too bad, it all got foiled.

427

All her efforts just got destroyed by one Zhong Niannian.

428

When she was preparing all these, she surely didn't expect

429

that a beautiful woman that's being courted by everyone suddenly showing affection to her

430

would cause such a huge damaging effect.

431

If she accepts her, that'e equivalent to going against all the men of Jiankang. If she doesn't,

432

she'll hurt the heart of the lady and the ending will be the same.

433

Towards the pursuit of beauty, it can lead to Wei Jie dying from too much pressure of being admired at,

434

why then can't it bring about detest and rejection from other people?

435

You knew this will happen from the beginning?

436

A matter that Princess doesn't know, how can I know of it?

437

Princess. Zhong Niannian will soon leave Jiankang and left a letter.

438

What letter?

439

She said that she was severely heart broken by you and doesn't want to say in Jiankang anymore.

440

And even said...

441

Said what?

442

She said that as long as you're in Jiankang, she will never come back.

443

This bad girl...

444

How did I offend her that she would do these?

445

There is worse news. Those distinguished and aristocratic men who attended the banquet already put out words

446

that as long as you are in Jiankang, they'll beat you up every time they see you.

447

Assholes!

448

I gave a lot of efforts in entertaining them,

449

but that wasn't enough to counter a lie by a woman?

450

I'm really so mad!

451

Princess, now that the matter has come to this. There's no use being angry.

452

Too bad, your plan of pulling the land-owning families of Jiankang to your side

453

might not succeed.

454

If the land-owning class can't be won over,

455

there is still the commoner class.

456

I will let that person that's foiling my plan know

457

that it's not that easy to make me give up.

458

Let's end here for today.

459

I'll get going then.

460

I will also go out and take a stroll.

461

Stop right there!

462

What is it?

463

Tell me honestly. Why do you enter the palace everyday to tell historical stories to Liu Ziye?

464

I'm not talking about history with him.

465

Those are just some short stories to please him.

466

Why then did you invite the land-owning class of the Jiankang and tried to pull them to your side?

467

I am just paving the way for the new government.

468

You're lying!

469

Fendai, if not for killing Liu Ziye,

470

why would I waste so much time and effort?

471

We grew up together. Don't you think I can see if you have the intent to kill or not?

472

You don't really want to kill Liu Ziye. Why?

473

Liu Ziye is just an insensible youth.

474

I can think of ways to make him mend his ways and be a good emperor.

475

Are you crazy?!

476

I'm not crazy.

477

Think about it, rather than putting in a new emperor,

478

why not just teach him and let him turn over a new leaf?

479

You're indulging yourself in fantasy!

480

If Pavilion Master learns of this, he will immediately have you killed!

481

Will you let him know?

482

Even if I help you to hide it, how long can we hide it?

483

No. I can't let you do this.

484

Fendai!

485

If you tell Pavilion Master about this, I'll surely die.

486

Are you going to watch me die?

487

Fendai, I beg you. Just give me one chance to give it a try.

488

I surely will succeed. Okay?

489

Princess, you're here.

490

My zither!

491

Anyway, it's already destroyed. We should still make use of it, right?

492

We each get half of it.

493

It's for you to begin with.

494

You don't want to.

495

Who says so?

496

How did you know that I'll come here?

497

The banquet that you meticulously organized got botched. You surely would be mad.

498

I knew that you'll come out and take a stroll.

499

How did you know that I'm hungry?

500

Princess didn't even take in water during the banquet.

501

You also know that?

502

I was looking at you.

503

Aren't you afraid that you've guessed it wrong and would have prepared these in vain?

504

I can only hope that you take the bait.

505

So salty.

506

Is there something wrong with your taste?

507

Yue Jiefei.

508

Please help me get some water.

509

Okay.

510

Sorry. My sense of taste is different with others. You might find it salty,

511

but I instead find it a bit sweet.

512

Why?

513

I actually was similar with other people when I was little.

514

But afterwards, I've tasted a lot of poison so I became like this.

515

There's not really much effect with my overall health. For so many years, I've lived like this.

516

Poison?

517

Yes. Because of my unique sense of taste,

518

I was able to develop good culinary skills.

519

It's just that sometimes, I'm unable to control my seasoning.

520

You can say that I've profited from this disaster.

521

I went too near earlier.

522

Good thing Master had Yue Jiefei leave.

523

Did you hear the words that Princess said earlier?

524

I am now sure

525

that even if she has the same scar, she can't be Liu Chuyu.

526

Why?

527

The royal descendants live among evil shemes since they are little.

528

A lot of them will drink little amounts of poison to increase their resistance.

529

But Princess was totally ignorant about it. Don't you find that weird?

530

Who is she then? What is her purpose in disguising as the princess?

531

With her actions of protecting Liu Ziye,

532

she wants to preserve the dynasty of the Liu family.

533

At present, there is Da Faxing taking charge of the state affaris

534

There is Shen Qingzhi controlling the military power.

535

If we want to disrupt the government, I fear...

536

Mo Xiang o Mo Xiang,

537

the more it looks like a copper wall and iron

bastion (impenetrable defense), the more it will fall with just one attack.

538

Master has a clever plan?

539

Give that to me.

540

- This one?

- Right. Right.

541

Don't put so much. Put that one in.

542

Fashi, it's rare that Shen Qingzhi agreed to let you out. Be happier.

543

He indeed let me out,

544

but insisted on letting Zong Yue follow me.

545

He is?

546

He is very loyal. Just a bit annoying.

[Zong Yue: General of Guan Army]

547

Sister, sit well. Sit up there.

548

I'm sleepy.

549

Sleep then.

550

Sister, stop that.

551

When this youth doesn't randomly kill people and silently sleeps,

552

he is really adorable.

553

Sister, we seemed to have returned to when we were little.

554

When we were little, we're also like this.

555

In the garden, I'll lie on your legs and sleep.

556

Other don't like to mind me. Only you are willing to play with me.

557

When that drunkard nose punished me, only you went to ask for mercy.

558

Sister, no matter what you'll ask, I will satisfy it.

559

Fashi, if you knew that the best Sister in your heart

560

is like other people using you to gain power,

561

will you still rely on her like this?

562

Fashi, I only hope that you'll stop casually killing people from now on.

563

Be a good emperor. Okay?

564

Okay.

565

Really?

566

Really.

567

- No!

- Come over here!

568

- Wait for me!

- Hurry up!

- I know! Hurry up!

569

Let's go over there and play with them, okay?

570

Sure. Let's go.

571

Hurry up!

572

- I'm coming!

- You won't be able to catch them!

573

Come!

- We do!

576

Sing me one. If you do good, I'll reward you.
