Episode 21

16

Thank you for your kind considerations.

17

Thank you for always thinking of me.

18

- Your Lady Majesty—

- Empress Dowager.

19

Look.

20

You really have put a lot of work in it.

21

Please drink it.

22

It's not me! It's not me!

23

Of course, it's you.

24

Before this incident, the fragrance pouch was with you.

25

That's why, the scent you have surely is stronger than mine.

26

Impossible. This palace maid is 8th Little Brother's personal maid.

27

That's why, this 8th Prince isn't as weak as everyone thinks.

28

You already know to scheme on people at such young age.

29

He is just sensitive with scents, but it won't kill him.

30

Or else, he would have been the first one poisoned and dead from the poinsettia that this palace maid is carrying with her.

31

8th Prince, are you still not going to admit your mistake until now?

32

Royal Brother...I was wrong.

33

I shouldn't have done it because of a moment of anger.

34

I shouldn't have framed Princess Consort just because she bullied Xiangming.

35

8th Little Brother, you...

36

It was me who ordered her to put poinsettia inside the fragrance pouch.

37

I also have no evil intentions. I just saw how arrogant Prince Regent's Consort was

38

and wanted to teach her a lesson.

39

Never thought that things ended up like this.

40

The order of the grudges doesn't seem to be right.

41

8th Prince, it was just out of impulse that I wanted to teach Xiangming a lesson that time.

42

and then she subsequently placed the fragrance pouch in me at that time.

43

Could it be that you two have prepared for this beforehand?

44

See who will annoy you and then devise a scheme to scare her?

45

Or simply put, you were deliberately waiting for me at the garden with the fragrance pouch.

46

If you're not that smart, then don't go out harming people.

47

If this gets out, it will destroy the reputation of the imperial family of Wei.

48

Your Majesty, although the imperial palace is huge,

49

there are only limited areas with poinsettia in them.

50

Although 8th Prince is young, he has quite a devious heart.

51

He claimed that it was because he was angry at Prince Regent's Consort for bullying her palace maid.

52

I think we can't really trust those words.

53

Of course, they were not true.

54

You two were clearly insulting me and knew that I will get mad.

55

Find an opening when we are entangled with each other to slip the fragrance pouch into my dress.

56

Say it. What really is this about?

57

Say it!

58

Royal Brother...

59

I admit my mistake...

60

Forgive me already.

61

Little Brother, are you stupid?

62

You and Prince Regent's Consort have no grudges between you.

63

How could you scheme and frame her?

64

Could you have just been venting out anger in behalf of those innocent Wei souls?

65

Right! It was indeed like that!

66

Royal Brother, it was because I can't take how those Liu Song people

67

were arrogant, domineering, and have killed innocent Wei Citizens.

68

I just wanted to teach a lesson...teach Prince Regent's Consort a lesson.

69

You're lying! He Shan doesn't know how to drink at all!

70

The more he couldn't have killed anyone because of getting drunk!

71

Prince Regent's Consort, why would you say so?

72

Your Majesty, He Shan has psoriasis. He has long abstained from drinking wine.

73

It's just that no one in Song knew about this. If he drinks any wine,

74

his body will surely have ulcers all over within 3 months.

75

But until today, he's been in prison for almost 10 days.

76

He never showed any symptoms at all.

77

Doesn't that prove that he never drank any alcohol for the past 3 months?

78

How then can there be a murder after getting drunk incident?

79

Princess Consort Regent, this matter is of grave importance.

80

You must prove to His Majesty if what you're saying is true or not.

81

Your Majesty, I already ordered someone to check the corpse. He indeed has an illness.

82

It's just that he was able to control it well. Until the time of his death, he didn't show any symptoms of his illness.

83

But the Wei citizens then all said that he was running wild because of being drunk.

84

How could a person who hasn't drank any alcohol kill because he's drunk?

85

Totally absurd!

86

Your Majesty, I am pretty sure

87

that He Shan must have been controlled by someone that night and was forced to do such things.

88

For the past days, there is marked unrest in Pingcheng.

89

First, it was He Shan killing because of getting drunk. Next, it was the Princess Consort Regent getting falsely accused.

90

There must be someone scheming behind all these.

91

I believe that 8th Prince just had a moment of righteous indignation,

92

but got instigated by someone, leading him to make such a big mistake.

93

The mastermind that planned the incident of He Shan killing randomly after getting drunk

94

just want to see His Majesty to be like the 8th Prince,

95

having righteous indignation fill your chest and losing one's rationality.

96

His only motive was to drive a wedge between the already repaired relationship between Wei and Liu Song,

97

and when the time came, seize the benefit.

98

That's why, I ask Your Majesty to take back your decree

99

and don't fall into their evil trap.

100

Your Majesty, I think that what Prince Regent said is very correct.

101

Based on the current situation,

102

there must be someone dispatching people to cause disharmony.

103

He's trying hard to sow dissension in the relationship between Wei and Song.

104

I earnestly ask Your Majesty to take back your decree.

105

May Your Majesty take back your decree.

106

Since it is the request of the majority,

107

I'll agree with it then.

108

That's all?

109

Princess Consort Regent, what else do you want?

110

Your Majesty, what about them? Are you not going to punish them?

111

Chuyu, you must know to stop before going too far.

112

The one who should stop are them.

113

Your Majesty, if a person isn't punished for committing a mistake, he'll then make more mistakes.

114

I am forcing you to punish them

115

because I'm trying to save their life.

116

Okay. The palace maid will be punished according the palace laws. As for 8th Little Brother...

117

Your Majesty, with you being so wise,

118

you surely know about a ruler should be punished similarly as that of the citizen, right?

119

Your Majesty, 8th Prince is still small. We can slowly teach him.

120

Being friend and neighbors, the closer you are, the easier it is to bear grudges.

121

Sibling relationship is similar with that between father and son, the one less loved will show more faults.

122

With 8th Prince committing such a grave mistake, he indeed should be taught a lesson.

123

Royal Brother! Royal Brother!

124

Royal Brother, I won't dare to do it again! Please forgive me!

125

8th Prince tried to frame Princess Consort Regent. His prince title is being removed.

126

He must leave palace today and sent to the temple.

127

Let the monks there teach him well. If he continued to be this insensible, don't bother coming back then.

128

Royal Brother, don't kick me out of the palace! Royal Brother, I'm not leaving!

129

Men!

130

Royal Brother, I'm not leaving!

131

Royal Brother! I'm not leaving!

132

Your Majesty! Your Majesty, have mercy! Your Majesty!

133

All of you can leave now!

134

Is your inspiring awe by upholding justice really for the sake of the 8th Prince?

135

If I let people who offend me get spared so easily, I won't be able able to sleep well at night.

136

Rong Zhi, you look nice when you smile.

137

You think Your Majesty will really believe your words?

138

Won't he?

139

His Majesty became emperor at a young age not only because it was the mandate of heaven.

140

Even if what you said is reasonable, He Shan is now dead, so he can't defend himself.

141

There is no way to reverse his case.

142

Why then did he take back the expel order?

143

If He Shan was really set up, then the real target isn't only Liu Song.

144

8th Prince committed a grave mistake at such young age.

145

To say that no one set this up, who will believe that?

146

His Majesty can all see the nonstop conflicts both at the front court and in the back inner palace.

147

He's just enduring them and not saying anything.

148

He's the emperor of Wei. Why must he endure it?

149

The heart of an emperor is not something that you can just casually infer on.

150

In any case, they want to use the child as being stubborn and mischievous.

151

No matter what, the expel decree has been repealed. I'm really quite happy.

152

The other party spent quite an effort to set up a net.

153

Unless they catch the big fish, they will not pull up the net.

154

We've been here for so many days, but there are still no news about the military supplies. If we continue wasting time like this,

155

the military camp will get in disarray.

156

Officers.

157

You should already be paying for the tax days ago, right?

158

It's not that I don't want to give. I've already paid for the taxes for summer and autumn.

159

Now that you're adding taxes again, I can't afford it anymore.

160

Can't afford?! Go in and search!

161

- Don't! Mr. Officer, don't!

- Beat him up!

162

- Officers, have mercy!

- You're not paying tax, is that it?!

163

- No, I...

164

General, while investigating about the military provisions,

165

at the same time, I went to investigate a place that is located on the Jingzhou border.

166

Pingcheng basically finds that the whip will not reach, (T/N too far away to help)

167

that the Jingzhou provincial governor is simply the local tyrant.

168

Since 5 years ago, he has privately added the taxes.

169

Other than the required taxes set by the government,

170

Jingzhou now also have some business tax, tea tax, wine tax,

171

every kind of item, with no regard for the number.

172

The citizens are really suffering from it.

173

Looks like I asked too little last time.

174

His family assets seems to be very large.

175

Not only that.

176

What else?

177

- What are you looking at?! Pay your taxes!

- Please spare me...

178

- I have no money.

- No money? Then come back to the office with us!

179

He's my child. Can I take him with me?

180

If I leave him behind, he'll die from starvation.

181

What do you treat the Provincial Governor Office as?

182

Letting you become a slave is already thinking highly of you. You better learn to appreciate it.

183

Your son is still so small. What can he do there?

184

Wasting the food. Take her away!

185

- I beg you all! Just take my son away with us!

- Hurry up!

186

- If we leave him behind like this, he'll die from starvation!

- Stop dilly-dallying!

187

- General, there are so many exorbitant taxes and levies in Jingzhou.

- Hurry up!

188

It's impossible for an ordinary citizen to pay them.

189

Either they run away, you become farmers,

190

or sell themselves as slave. If you want to save them, you won't be able to save them all.

191

Tell that old coward that I'm taking my army into the city

192

and do a major search. Immediately spread my order!

193

General!

194

What is it, General?

195

Pavilion Master, Huo Xuan just kept on carving (very persistent). She's going turn the whole Jingzhou upside down already.

196

If this continues, the military provisions can't be hidden any longer.

197

Huo Xuan already submitted her memorial?

198

There are no movements in the court. That is really strange.

199

Huo Xuan clearly knew that men from Liu Song were the ones who stole the military provisions.

200

Why then is she not calling for war?!

201

Because she doesn't believe that the people who stole the military provisions are Liu Song people.

202

What should we do now then?

203

There is one place that is the safest.

204

What is going on? How come there are so many soldiers?

205

- I heard that a huge amount of military provisions that were lost. They are now searching for it.

- Military provisions?

206

That's right. See that? That's the most able Deputy Commander of Feifeng General.

207

Really?

208

Turn Jingzhou upside down. Don't miss any corner.

209

Yes!

210

You are so bold! How dare you take your army into my city?!

211

If Provincial Governor has any problem with it, just directly talk with General Huo about it.

212

Huo Xuan led his army inside the city without permission. Is she trying to revolt?

213

Continue searching!

214

Okay! I'll take care of you all when I return!

215

Huo Xuan, have you eaten some bear heart or leopard gallbladder?! (being too bold)

216

You actually dared to lead your army into Jingzhou?

217

I surely will file a complaint against you in front of His Majesty!

218

Can you change your lines?

219

You...

220

Provincial Governor Liu, not only am I leading my army inside your city to search,

221

I will also be searching this Provincial Governor Manor of yours.

222

What really do you want to do?

223

Provincial Governor Liu, don't worry. I'm just going to borrow your manor to live in for a few days.

224

Once I find the lost military provisions, I will leave.

225

What if you're unable to find it?

226

You better beg the deities that I find the military provisions.

227

Or else, those 200,000 will set up camp in Jingzhou

228

until we completely exhaust your funds.

229

Let me tell you that our Jingzhou also has city guards.

230

Those 2,000 men of yours are not yet enough to fill my tooth cavities.

231

General, Deputy Commander Wang is back.

232

How was it?

233

I've turned Jingzhou upside down but just can't find the military provisions.

234

You've searched every inch?

235

Commercial tenants, pubs, tea houses, even gambling areas and brothels,

236

Anyway, we've searched all possible places where it can be hidden.

237

If such a huge amount of military provisions

238

is really being hidden here in Jingzhou, how can there be no news at all?

239

I already told you that the people who stole them were Liu Song men.

240

If I am you, you should hurry and write a memorial

241

asking Prince Regent to make that Liu Song princess pay.

242

It's way stronger than you wasting your time here.

243

Provincial Governor seems very sure that the military provisions are not inside the city.

244

You have even searched my manor too,

245

where could it still be hiding?

246

From where is the bell sound coming from?

247

The morning bell, it is of course coming from the Zhongqing Temple in the city outskirts.

248

Wang Ze, let's go.

249

General, where are we going?

250

Zhongqing Temple.

251

Yes.

252

Sir, are we really letting them go just like that?

253

What do you treat Zhongqing Temple as?

254

You think that it's a place that you can just search because you want to?

255

Pavilion Master, will it really be safe to hide the military provisions there? What if...

256

People all say that Feifeng General is a very bold person.

257

I really want to see

258

how brave she really is.

259

[Zhongqing Temple]

260

Timing and Subtitles carefully crafted by the MEI DAXIA Team at viki.com

261

Why are you here?

262

Military provisions.

263

Lady is asking for military provisions? How can a temple has one?

264

Old abbot, stop playing games with me.

265

I've searched the whole Jingzhou. The only one left is your Zhongqing Temple.

266

There are no military provisions here. May general

267

not taint a clean and quiet Buddhist place with your blood stained weapons.

268

If there is or not, we will have to wait after I searched your temple.

269

General, please read the tablet inscription.

270

The table inscription of Zhongqing Temple was written by the former emperor himself.

271

We even have the ashes of Buddha here.

272

Even if His Majesty comes here, he has to get off his horse and bow.

273

How then can just a third rank general like you dare to trespass?

274

I've killed so many people in my life and my hands are filled with blood. Since I am standing here,

275

I will then not leave without fulfilling my task. The personal writing of the former emperor, right?

276

Even if the former emperor suddenly appear here, he can't stop me.

277

- Wang Ze.

- Here.

278

Search.

279

Huo Xuan, you're being unruly!

280

- Search!

- Yes!

281

General Huo, stop wasting energy.

282

You will never find anything.

283

May I know what abbot's Buddhist name is?

284

Tianci ('given by heaven'). As they say, all living things were given by the heaven.

285

A heart as bright as the sky. A heart as clean as the sky.

286

Could abbot's heart really have no worries at all?

287

Since I don't have the secular world in my heart, I then naturally will not worry about anything.

288

Abbot, there is a big hole in your clothing.

289

Where?

290

And you say that you don't get worried about anything.

291

You...muddled person! You dared to be disrespectful to abbot?!

292

What never having any worries?

293

Abbot, although you entered the Buddhism world, you still have worries in your heart.

294

General.

295

What I found out are...

296

That's all of it.

297

General Huo, I already said

298

that the military provisions you're looking for is not inside the temple. Please leave.

299

Is it really not in here?

300

We already said that it's not in here!

301

Since it's not in here, why are your hands trembling in anxiety?

302

Since abbot refuses to hand over the military provisions, I can only offend you.

303

What are you going to do?!

304

Men, drive all the monks out of the main hall!

305

You...

306

Yes.

307

General, could the military provisions not really be in here?

308

No. I have an intuition that they are hiding something from me.

309

But we can't really burn the whole temple.

310

This temple is holding some precious national treasures and is under the protection of the former emperor.

311

What if His Majesty learns about this? We're going to be really dead.

312

General, you must not be muddle.

313

Leave.

314

General...

315

Hou Xuan, Zhongqing Temple has been a pure place since being established for hundreds of years.

316

The tablet inscription that was personally written by the former emperor is the symbol of the might of the imperial power.

317

You searching the temple without permission is already very disrespectful to him!

318

Now, you even are planning to burn the temple?!

319

Are you really not afraid that the emperor will be furious?!

320

I'll count to 3. If you still won't be honest and tell me the truth, I'll really do it.

321

You...

322

There are deities above us. You dare to burn the temple?!

323

You surely will anger the Buddha and invite the heaven's punishment!

324

Heaven's punishment?

325

Doing an evil act like this that will incite public wrath

326

will surely give you a bad name for millennium!

327

Huo Xuan, Buddha will bring disaster on you! Send you down to the Avichi level of hell!

328

Wrong! It's in the mountain of blades or within boiling oil! Get cut into pieces!

329

Fire torch!

330

General, you must not burn it.

331

If you do this, even Prince Regent won't be able to protect you.

332

General.

333

General, you really must not burn it.

334

My actions today

335

are all for the soldiers in the front line and no personal interest at all.

336

If Buddha will really punish me for this, then may he punish me only.

337

Either it is climbing the blade mountain or tree of sword, or fall into a fiery pit or boiling soup,

338

I will never say no to them.

339

1.

340

2!

341

3!

342

- Don't burn it!

- Shut up!

343

Master, I can't let Zhongqing Temple get destroyed in our hands.

344

General Huo, I'll take you to see them.

345

- Come, eat some.

- Thanks.

346

General Huo, these food has nothing to do with you.

347

Today is a drought year.

348

Although Zhongqing Temple has nonstop supplies, it's only enough to provide for the monks.

349

How can you have additional food?

350

There is an irrigation canal near our temple. The officials and rich merchants in the city are extremely extravagant.

351

They usually throw away the excess food there.

352

I then ask my disciples to gather these wasted food, clean,

353

boil, and then dry them. We've stocked them up for so many years before we got to have these extra food.

354

Oh? Is it like that?

355

Yes.

356

If this was old rice, its color should be darker

357

and it has an old rice taste.

358

The rice bran is also silk like.

359

But look at this rice grain, its light can clearly pass through it and it even has a bit of fresh smell.

360

If you pinch it, there are not rice bran sticking on your hand.

361

Just one look and you'll know it's a rice that was just harvested this year.

362

Monks do not lie.

363

Do you also want to go to Avichi with me?

364

I'll take you to find it. It's just in the cave at the back mountain.

365

You...

366

- Hurry and take me there.

- Yes.

367

Open it.

368

Deputy Commander Wang, it's the military provision!

369

[Property of the Huo Army]

370

General, we found them all.

371

Abbot, tell me now.

372

Where did these military provision come from?

373

They were given by an anonymous donor.

374

I really don't know who he is.

375

They just left the military provisions and then hurriedly left.

376

You clearly knew that I was searching the whole city for it, yet you pretended to not know.

377

What punishment do you think you should be given?

378

Since the matter has come to this, I'll let you punish me however you want.

379

In consideration for the past emperor, I'll spare your life.

380

Take all of the chests away.

381

- Take them all away!

- Yes.

382

Mom, I'm hungry.

383

Master.

384

Master.

385

Mom, I'm hungry.

386

Mom, I'm hungry.

387

- Let's go.

- Yes.

388

Congratulations General Huo for finally having your wish fulfilled.

389

Being able to get back the lost military provisions this time is all thanks to your cooperation too.

390

Since that's the case, won't General hurry and leave?

391

Provincial Governor Li, look at how dark and strong the wind is. It's quite dangerous to leave the city at this time.

392

I've decided to stay in your manor for one more night. Provincial Governor will surely welcome me, right?

393

Men!

394

Here.

395

Escort General Huo to rest.

396

Bring the chests inside.

397

Huo Xuan doesn't fear the deities nor the imperial might.

398

She indeed is hard to deal with. Fine then.

399

And this woman is cold and heartless.

400

Seeing how those citizens are going to starve to death,

401

she still wouldn't leave the military provisions behind.

402

What's the use of saying these now? I agreed to work with you to deal against her.

403

Didn't you say that Huo Xuan will surely not dare to trespass into Zhongqing Temple?

404

Now, she actually brought all the military provisions back.

405

You initially promised me that once Huo Xuan leaves,

406

you'll gift these military provisions to me.

407

She indeed has taken away the military provisions.

408

But she won't be able to take them back with her.

409

What do you mean? You're saying...

410

No. You can't kill her.

411

Provincial Governor Liu, Huo Xuan was killed by a Liu Song assassin.

412

What does that got to do with you?

413

What about the soldiers she brought with her?

414

Soldiers cannot enter the Provincial Governor Manor. They can only set camp outside the city.

415

Provincial Governor, you are the highest official of JIngzhou.

416

As long as you kill Huo Xuan,

417

report it, and Tuoba Hong is able to get the imperial decree, do you still fear that those soldiers won't listen to you?

418

By tomorrow morning, the military provisions can return to their rightful owner.

419

The opportunity can't be lost and it might not come again.

420

Provincial Governor Liu, you better decide soon.

421

422

Hurry! Hurry and open the boxes!

423

Sir, it's all empty.

424

All of you, move aside!

425

How come it's like this?

426

Provincial Governor Liu,

427

I came to take the military provisions away.

428

Hou Xuan? Aren't you...

429

Earlier, there were quite a few men who disturbed my sleep.

430

They are all currently lying down in my room. Provincial Governor, you want to see them?

431

Provincial Governor, where are my military provisions?

432

What military provisions? There are no money or foor. All the chests are empty!

433

Preposterous!

434

I clearly gotten back the military provisions. The whole Jingzhou saw it.

435

All the chests were carried into your manor.

436

Now that the military provisions just disappeared like that,

437

it was clearly embezzled by you!

438

What a bloody lie!

439

- Arrest her!

- Men!

440

What's going on?

441

Provincial Governor Liu, I urge you to behave.

442

The whole Provincial Governor Office has been surrounded.

443

How is that possible?

444

There are indeed just 100 soldiers inside the city.

445

But when you were attempting to assassinate General tonight,

446

they already colluded with the soldiers outside and opened the city gates

447

and controlled your city guards. Arrest them all!

448

Kneel! Kneel!

449

Kneel!

450

Hou Xuan...you are full of lies...

451

These were clearly just empty chests.

452

There were never any military provisions. Frame up.

453

You're framing me up!

454

Yes. This is indeed a frame up.

455

Abbot, I know that there were numerous citizens who were forced out of their homes, suffering from hunger and cold.

456

If I take the military provisions away, they only will be left to die.

457

That's why, I can agree to leave the military provisions behind.

458

General.

459

The enemy meticulously planned these to frame Liu Song. Their motive isn't that simple.

460

He making such a grand move like this of donating all the military provisions to Zhongqing Temple is because

461

one, he thought that I wouldn't dare disturb the tranquility of a temple

462

and destroy the tablet inscription personally gifted by the past emperor.

463

Second, he has guessed that if I found the military provisions,

464

I wouldn't dare to watch the citizens starve to death.

465

It is exactly like that, hence, we cannot let them get their way.

466

No. His guess was right.

467

I indeed won't bear to.

468

I've roamed the battlefield and have killed people like cutting off hemp.

469

It's not a problem with me to fall into the 18th level of Hell when I die.

470

But I will never harm a citizen who can't even defend himself.

471

The more I will not just watch while they starve to death.

472

But, I will also not go down the mountain empty-handed.

473

What really are you planning to do?

474

Later, I will leave with the boxes.

475

Abbot must fiercely scold your monks.

476

Say that the military provisions were taken by me. Scold them as fiercely as possible.

477

Wait for my signal before you continue giving out food.

478

- You are...

- No.

479

General, what really are you trying to do?

480

I'm getting confused.

481

I'll let Rong Zhi see that his horse dung in exchange for military provision strategy is nothing.

482

I can steal from a white wolf using nothing.

483

- Wang Ze.

- I'm here.

484

Confiscate all the valuables of the Provincial Governor. If anyone will dare to disobey,

485

kill them.

486

Yes. Search!

487

My gold...

488

My precious... My god!

489

The most sinister heart in this world is that of a woman.

490

You have already swindled a huge amount of money from me before.

491

Now, you used empty boxes to trick me?

492

Huo Xuan,

493

you will die a tragic death!

494

Provincial Governor Liu, under your leadership, Jingzhou has so many exorbitant taxes and levies.

495

The citizens are suffering hardships and left with nowhere to go.

496

While your Provincial Governor Manor is shining with gold.

497

I really regret taking too little from you last time, allowing you to have more days to be jumping around.

498

But now, you don't have the chance anymore. Stealing military provisions is a crime punishable by death.

499

No!

500

I didn't steal the military provisons...

501

I didn't!

502

You didn't?

503

- Wang Ze!

- General.

504

Just with the money we got form his manor, it's enough to last us for 2 months.

505

Provincial Governor Liu, your wealth can really compete with the state.

506

If you didn't steal my military provisions, how then were you able to have so many valuables?

507

Did they fall from the sky? You better answer me properly.

508

I don't have the patience.

509

Stealing military provisions is a crime punishable by death.

510

Corruption of large amount of money is also punishable by death.

511

Either way, you'll die, so stop struggling so hard.

512

Hou Xuan, you're crafty like a fox, sinister like a wolf.

513

Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!

514

Shut up!

515

Provincial Governor, so many citizens had their family ruined and forced to leave their homes

516

because of your greed.

517

Even if I spare you, they will not.

518

In this travel to Pingcheng, you must take good care of yourself.

519

When you reach the afterlife road, don't forget to repent on the sins you've done.

520

- Take him away.

- Take him away!

521

Move! Hurry up!

522

Investigate who his accomplices are. Don't miss anyone out.

523

Yes.

524

- The military provisions have been found?

- You still don't know?

525

Yesterday, General Huo brought the found military provisions in the manor of Provincial Governor Liu to stay there for the night.

526

Who would have thought that Provincial Governor would develop greedy intentions

527

and tried to assassinate General Huo, so he can have the military provisions.

528

It's really a man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

529

He actually dared to target the military provisions?!

530

Isn't that right? Who is General Huo?

531

He think he can get away with it?! See, he got kicked back (like a horse).

532

He deserved it. In dealing with corrupt officials like that, he should be cut into pieces. His death is not lamentable at all.

533

Kill him! Kill him! Kill that corrupt official!

534

You asshole official! Get out of Jingzhou!

535

Kill him! Kill him!

536

Thank you, General Huo! You have given the JIngzhou citizens justice!

537

General, you eliminated an oppressor here in Jingzhou. The citizens are very grateful to you.

538

I just hope that the next Provincial Governor can treat these citizens better.

539

- Don't let them suffer again.

- Yes.

540

Let's go.

541

Really great, Huo Xuan...

542

Empress Dowager.

543

Who angered you again? Why is your face so stern?

544

I already knew about the incident in the garden.

545

That time, Imperial Consort Dowager Qi was here. It wasn't convenient for me to tell her about it.

546

When Empress Dowager knew about it, it was too late.

547

She wasn't able to rush there to help.

548

8th Prince had a moment of confusion and committed a minor mistake.

549

The matter has been satisfactorily resolved. Empress Dowager need not put it into heart.

550

When 8th Prince was just born, his royal mother has died.

551

Imperial Consort Dowager Qi raised him for 3 years.

552

He has always been close to Prince Kang.

553

8th Prince is just an 8-year old child.

554

How could he know about court justice?

555

The more, he would never know to use such a vile scheme to harm your princess consort.

556

A little child that still insensible got used just like that.

557

He is also pitiful.

558

8th Prince indeed isn't rational yet. He easily gets swayed.

559

His Majesty sending him to the temple to learn principles and reasons is also a way to protect him.

560

That's good too.

561

But regarding Prince Kang...

562

Prince Kang took advantage of the brewing conflict between Wei and Liu Song for his own interest.

563

But Empress Dowager, don't worry. I have my plans.

564

[Prince Regent Manor]

565

Concubine Ma, you must take good care of your health.

566

Follow the prescription I gave you and take your medicine timely.

567

Also, regarding that matter I told you earlier.

568

I already know.

569

This must not be dragged any longer. Dragging it will not be beneficial to your health.

570

I said that I already know. Stop nagging.

571

Doctor Wang, this way please.

572

I'll take my leave then.

573

I've been treating Concubine Ma for more than 10 years.

574

I know about here condition the most.

575

Her health is really very weak. It's not suitable for her to—

576

Enough. Concubine Ma has her own decision on this matter. No need for you to worry.

577

If any rumors spread outside, be careful of your life.

578

Don't worry. I know the graveness of this matter.

579

I'll walk you out first.

580

Princess Consort, are you drawing a a 'yuanshan' brow?

581

Of course. it's black like the mountains far away.

582

Don't they all look like this?

583

Stop fooling me. That is clearly a 'broom' brow.

584

Look at what you've drawn! Stop making me look like a fool!

585

What the hell! Do you know how to draw it or not?!

586

Let me help you repair it.

587

No need for you to repair it! Get lost! No need!

588

- I just knew you're going to bully me!

- I'm not done drawing.

- Stop it already.

589

Come over here.

590

- Let me see.

- Are you alright, Qingyue?

591

Your face is already red.

592

- You got hit?

- My face...

593

It's fine. It's fine. Qingyue, do you know that

594

you now has Wei's most famous 'xiaoxia' (dawn rosy clouds) make-up look.

595

- Right?

- Liar.

- Yes... From now on, you don't even need to buy a blush.

596

Next time, if you want that kind of style, just find a person to bump your face into. So easy.

597

- You're a bully!

- Qingyue...

598

Greetings, Your Highness.

599

It looks quite good.

600

Your Highness.

601

Prince Regent is usually busy with state affairs all day. How come you have the time to come visit me today?

602

Princess Consort.

603

I will sleep here tonight. Please make preparations.

604

Oh, my!

605

Is it Your Highness?

606

Is Your Highness not yet back? I'll go to the front door to welcome him.

607

Mistress, no need. His Highness has returned.

608

He has returned? Is he in the study?

609

Go and put the dishes inside a dinner pail. I'll bring them to him.

610

He has been busy all day. He must be tired.

611

Mistress.

612

His Highness, he...won't come over tonight.

613

You...what do you mean?

614

His Highness is staying over in Moon Phoenix Room tonight.

615

Let go! I'm going back now to look for Princess.

616

Come back here. This is the best chance for Princess Consort and Prince to reconcile. Don't be stupid.

617

Princess Consort doesn't want to!

618

What not want to? They are a married couple.

619

How could they have not consummated their marriage until now?

620

If this gets out, Princess Consort's position will be in peril.

621

Let's go.

622

Let's just finish the battle fast. I'll just treat it as being bitten by a dog.

623

Look at your 'I'm a chaste and honorable lady' look.

624

You think I give a damn about you?

625

He really has fallen asleep?
