Episode 24

16

Move faster! Faster!

17

Stop dilly-dallying! Faster!

18

Hurry up! Those at the back, keep up!

19

Move!

20

General, the first batch of prisoners are here.

21

What is this about?

22

How come there are so many...

23

Hey... what are you doing?

24

Damn! If you want to kill us, then kill us!

25

Why did you bring us here!

26

That's right, what are you planning to do?

27

Do you plan to kill us? Do you plan to execute us here?

28

If you want to kill us, then just do it! Stop with your nonsense!

29

Twenty years after this, I'm going to be a great man again!

30

Who is this lady? Why is she behaving like a tyrant here!

31

Who knows.

32

You will all know later what I'm planning to do.

33

General, must we really do this?

34

I just want the most cruel and valiant people.

35

As for the other useless ones, leaving them alive would be just a waste of our food, right?

36

That is indeed true. But—

37

I've made my decision. No need to say more.

38

Hey, what does she mean!

39

Come back here!

40

Don't go! What's going on?

41

Open the doors!

42

What's going on?

43

It sounds like dogs.

44

What sound is that?

45

What is that? Run! Run!

46

Run! Run!

47

Huo Xuan, what are you doing?

48

You...Do you just want to see these prisoners in a miserable state,

49

covered in dripping, fresh blood from getting bitten by these dogs?

50

But now is not the time. The rebel army will be attacking soon.

51

General Huo, stop playing. If you keep playing,

52

the citizens of Jingzhou will all die with you.

53

Huo Xuan!

54

You are the commander of an army. You can't do this!

55

The heads of all citizens in the city are tied to your hands!

56

What are you doing? Go back!

57

Stop! Don't run!

58

Master!

59

Mister!

60

Master.

61

Take away all the prisoners that tried to escape.

62

Hurry and get up. Get up.

63

Move! Move! Get up!

64

Move, hurry up.

65

Are you here to look for soldiers?

66

Yes. I am choosing soldiers.

67

What? You're going to use prisoners in place of soldiers?

68

Oh, my god.

69

During the Qin dynasty, Zhang Han led the prisoners of Mt. Li to defeat a five hundred thousand strong rebel army.

70

Today, I want to use all of you.

71

I know that you all are criminals guilty of unpardonable evil.

72

Some of you tried to rebel.

73

Some destroyed the Imperial ancestral temple. Some committed disrespectful acts.

74

Some of you murdered your parents, teachers, or elders. Some killed their friends. Some raped women.

75

Your hands are filled with blood and your crimes unpardonable.

76

If this was some other day, I would personally slice off the meat on your bodies, one by one.

77

But today, I am giving you all a chance to live.

78

When you leave the prison, you will then become my soldiers, who will fight the enemies.

79

Stop daydreaming. It's impossible for us to help you.

80

You are not helping me, but helping yourselves.

81

If you kill ten people, you'll get promoted to huozhang. (T/N platoon leader)

82

If you kill a hundred, you will promoted to duizheng (T/N squadron leader).

83

If you kill two hundred men, I'll promote you to lushuai (T/N commander of a brigade).

84

Those that are able to survive the battle will earn their freedom.

85

- How can we believe you?

- That's right!

86

On what basis will we believe you?

87

If you don't believe me, then be prepared to get up on the execution stage.

88

Only by believing me will you have a chance to live.

89

The blade is by my hand. You all have no choice.

90

You're threatening us?

91

You all are just prisoners sentenced to death. Worst case scenario, you all will be executed.

92

I'm giving you all a chance to live. Whether you'll grab hold of it depends on you.

93

Deputy Commander Wang, hurry and convince General Huo to not do this.

94

I know that she wants to make the enemy retreat, but she must not do such a muddled thing.

95

What if she releases them? They surely will become a source of huge trouble.

96

If they cause a ruckus here in the city, the rebels haven't arrived yet and Jingzhou City will already be in chaos!

97

- No one can stop the decision made by the General.

- You...

98

Don't forget. These are criminals who have done unpardonable crimes.

99

Without His Majesty's pardon decree, who dares to pardon them?

100

- We are currently in special times. Sorry.

- You!

101

You all...are crazy! Crazy!

102

Okay, General Huo, I'll kill a way out of here for you.

103

As long as we succeed, you must let us go!

104

Can we trust your promise?

105

I want to be an officer! I want to be a high officer!

106

Right! We want freedom! We want freedom!

107

Once we killed the rebels, we are not prisoners anymore! We want wealth and noble status!

108

Okay. The road was chosen by you.

109

Since you've chosen to be my soldiers, then you're not alone anymore.

110

Starting today, you all must give it your best to train.

111

At the moment the city gates are opened, you all must be like evil wolves and fierce tigers,

112

pouncing on our enemies.

113

Bite off their neck in exchange for your food,

114

that is freedom, wealth, splendor, fame, and glory.

115

Kill them! Kill them!

116

Don't rush... One at a time.

117

After you got yours, go to the back.

118

Next one.

119

General!

120

You doing this is too risky.

121

You've been with me for a long time. Don't you still now that I love taking risks?

122

That is indeed true, but they are different.

123

They are totally a bunch of beasts. Who will know what they would do?

124

- I'm just afraid that what if—

- No matter how fierce a beast is, I'm able to tame it.

125

What are you afraid of?

126

Even if they are willing to join the battle, will they be able to resist the rebels?

127

- We don't have much time. I really fear that we won't have enough time.

- Fight! Fight!

128

If we don't give it a try, how will we know?

129

If we don't try anything and just sit here to wait for death, I won't accept such a defeat.

130

The rebels are mostly recruited farmers or abducted citizens.

131

- Their organization is very lax, their moral is very loose.

- Go back!

132

While these prisoners are inhumane and have no benevolence.

133

Just for freedom and pleasure, they will wildly kill.

134

As long as you are able to train them well, they are natural-born, killing weapons.

135

What General said is indeed reasonable. I am willing to gamble it with you.

136

Is the food not enough? I'll give you this too. No rush.

137

- Go and watch them.

- Yes.

- Slow down.

138

Slow down.

139

No rush. Don't choke.

140

The rations in the city are limited. We can only provide you all with one meal a day.

141

If you give it to him, then you'll go hungry yourself.

142

It's fine. I'm an adult.

143

Why did you get imprisoned?

144

Okay already. Go there to wait for me.

145

Don't worry. General Huo will not harm me.

146

Go now.

147

I got imprisoned because I killed people.

148

You killed people?

149

Yes.

150

And there were eleven of them.

151

Master, I don't know how to write my name. Help me.

152

No need.

153

Let that go.

154

Next one.

155

- Wang Ze!

- Here.

156

Investigate that person's background well.

157

- Yes.

- Master, are you alright?

158

It's fine. Don't worry.

159

Buddhist Scripture

160

Mistress, it's time to eat.

161

Today, there is fish.

162

Why are you up again?

163

Didn't the doctor say that you must lie down and rest?

164

Mistress, how can you use your blood to copy the Buddhist scriptures?

165

With your body now, how can you take this?

166

It's fine.

167

His Highness is sick.

168

I can't personally serve him. I can only express my intentions like this here.

169

Mistress, you're not taking care of your own health,

170

using all means to pray for him. But will he really care about you?

171

Bixi—

172

What did I say wrong? People are saying that His Highness disregarded his sick body

173

and spent a night with his Princess Consort. He doesn't think about you at all!

174

Shut up!

175

How many times have I said it?

176

You must not say bad things about His Highness.

177

I...am just thinking for your sake.

178

Enough.

179

Just take the food away.

180

I don't want to eat.

181

Yes.

182

Hope Bodhisattva can bless and protect His Highness.

183

Bless his health to recover soon.

184

W-Who are you?

185

You are using this face to bewitch His Highness.

186

- I'm the one who should ask you who you are. Say it.

- Let go.

187

Who ordered you to get near Prince Kang?

188

Let go of her.

189

Your Highness. The background of this woman is very strange.

190

Give her to me. I surely can find out who the mastermind is.

191

Your Highness, I've already found out about her background.

192

Not only does she perform on the streets, she also used to perform in brothels,

193

and even was a thief! You must not believe a woman like that.

194

- She must have been bribed by someone, and deliberately approached you!

- Get lost.

195

Your Highness, you must not believe her!

196

Immediately leave.

197

Are you alright?

198

Don't worry. I will not let anyone hurt you again from now on.

199

Can I ask you a question?

200

Ask away. I will answer any question you ask.

201

Why does Your Highness come to see me every day?

202

Because...I like you.

203

Are you telling the truth?

204

I have lied to a lot of people,

205

but I have never lied to you.

206

Aren't you afraid that I'm a spy?

207

I don't care. Even if you are a thief, I don't care.

208

As long as you can stay by my side, then it's enough. Are you willing?

209

But I'm not a thief.

210

My father owed a huge gambling debt.

211

I must dance the most dangerous rope dance to pay my debts.

212

Sometimes, I even have to work in brothels.

213

But I have never stolen anything.

214

I believe that you're not a thief.

215

I just want to ask you one question.

216

Are you willing to return to my manor with me?

217

Starting today, I don't need to dance in the streets anymore?

218

- No need.

- No need to wash clothes?

219

- No need.

- No need to do the rope dance?

220

If you want to dance it, you can do so when you're happy.

221

I will be below protecting you. I won't let you fall.

222

Don't forget the words you said then.

223

I promise.

224

Your Highness, I'm different from other girls.

225

You must do what you promised me.

226

Or else, I will get angry.

227

Okay.

228

Has the Prince Regent's health not yet fully recovered?

229

When an illness comes, it's like toppling mountains. When it goes, it's like spinning silk.

230

I've already asked the Imperial Physician.

231

He said that the Prince Regent is ill from over-exhaustion and too much worrying.

232

He just needs to rest for a while. No need for you to worry.

233

Royal Brother, it's rare that you are this concerned.

234

Your Majesty, the Prince Regent's health hasn't recovered, but he keeps worrying about the situation in Jingzhou.

235

I've sent men to infiltrate Jingzhou and bring back an important person.

236

He knows about the current situation of Jingzhou very well.

237

- Where is he?

- He's waiting outside the hall.

238

Call for him to enter the hall!

239

Greetings to Your Majesty. I wish you good health and long life.

240

Who are you?

241

I am one of the thirty guards who accompanied Palace Attendant Zhao to Jingzhou.

242

How come you came back alone?

243

Where is Zhao Qi? How come he still hasn't returned to the capital to conclude his mission, or even send any news?

244

Lord Zhao...

245

was not delaying his return.

246

He has already been killed.

247

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

248

Zhao Qi is dead? How is that possible?

249

Nonsense. Palace Attendant Zhao is His Majesty's subject.

250

- Who will dare to kill him?

- We can't be sure about that.

251

- The rebels are ferocious people. They might really dare to harm me.

- Your Majesty.

252

What really has happened? Explain it to me from the start.

253

Your Majesty, the person who killed Lord Zhao

254

wasn't some rebel army member. It was the Feifeng General, Huo Xuan!

255

How dare you!

256

Who are you that you dare to speak such nonsense here!

257

Lord Zhao went there to reward the army. Why then would the Feifeng General kill him?

258

If you dare to speak such nonsense here, do you not want your life anymore?

259

Your Majesty, that "unrivaled in bravery" Huo Army of that General Huo Xuan,

260

has been been acting like kings and tyrants in Jingzhou.

261

Not only did she kill the past provincial governor, she also has a lot of discontentment against Lord Zhao.

262

She said that Lord Zhao didn't really come to reward the army

263

but was a supervising official sent by Your Majesty.

264

That you clearly were suspecting her loyalty.

265

Lord Zhao repeatedly explained it, but General Huo was being overbearing.

266

She embarrassed Lord Zhao publicly.

267

Lord Zhao was left with no choice, and forced to retreat back to Jingzhou City.

268

He then discovered that the case regarding the provincial governor is very suspicious.

269

Huo Xuan also has been dominating Jingzhou, and has plans to separate from the state.

270

Lord Zhao immediately sent someone to deliver an urgent memorial here.

271

Never thought that they would all get detained by Huo Xuan.

272

She was afraid that Lord Zhao would reveal the truth to you,

273

so either she gives up or goes through to the end, she killed him to silence him and eliminate any future troubles.

274

Shut up! You keep saying that General Huo was the one who killed him.

275

Where is your evidence?

276

All of the envoys that Your Majesty sent were never able to return,

277

because Huo Xuan has already occupied Jingzhou, and is bearing evil intentions.

278

The so-called violent surge of the rebel army is just a scam of hers,

279

to continue fooling Your Majesty in return for money and rations.

280

If my words are not true, how come she never submitted any memorial?

281

If that's not the case, why then did Palace Attendant Zhao get murdered?

282

If you want witness, the entire city of Jingzhou are witnesses.

283

Everyone there knows that Huo Xuan caused a huge ruckus in the provincial governor office,

284

and had turned hostile against Palace Attendant Zhao.

285

She was the last one to leave Lord Zhao's room.

286

That night, Lord Zhao was found dead.

287

If it was not her, who else can kill people within a provincial governor's office with tight security? Your Majesty!

288

Your Majesty, this matter is grave.

289

We must not sentence a high general just because

290

of a unilateral testimony.

291

Chancellor Ma...

292

since the Feifeng General

293

went to Jingzhou to eliminate the rebels,

294

she has killed several Jingzhou officials, one after the other.

295

Her actions of executing before reporting is clearly

296

not putting any importance to His Majesty.

297

Not talking about that first, His Majesty sent subject Zhao there

298

exactly give her a chance to explain her side. But what about her?

299

She gave us another "going there and not coming back".

300

What status does Lord Zhao have?

301

Even if the Prince Regent is here,

302

he will also not cover up for a

303

murderer who killed an important government official!

304

Enough!

305

Your Majesty, this matter is grave.

306

No matter if what he said is true or not, we must let Huo Xuan immediately return to Pingcheng.

307

If she dares to come back, then she's innocent.

308

If she doesn't dare to come back...

309

I'm afraid...

310

Go to Jingzhou again. You must bring the Feifeng General back!

311

Your Majesty, don't worry.

312

I surely will make the proper arrangements.

313

Okay already. Go now.

314

Hurry and prepare the horses.

315

Your Highness, you still haven't fully recovered. How can you enter the palace now?

316

I'm fine. Huo Xuan is currently in the middle of a battle.

317

How can His Majesty...just casually call her back?

318

His Majesty has already made his decree. It's impossible to make him change it.

319

Moreover, His Majesty didn't fully trust the words of that guard.

320

As long as General Huo is able to come back on time, there is still chance to turn this matter around.

321

Huo Xuan has never lost communications with Pingcheng.

322

She must have met a huge trouble this time.

323

I fear that it's not that she doesn't want to come back, but that she can't come back at all.

324

His Majesty has repeatedly sent a decree, but was unable to make her come back.

325

If this continues, it will become resisting the Imperial decree.

326

That is an irreversible crime, punishable by execution.

327

How then do you plan to convince His Majesty?

328

Zhao Qi is Empress Dowager's trusted aide.

329

He has always been trusted and relied heavily upon. Although His Majesty is young, he is very smart.

330

He surely knows that Huo Xuan has encountered trouble.

331

He did this just to pacify the anger of the Zhao family and Empress Dowager.

332

As long as Empress Dowager can give me more time, then we surely can turn this thing around.

333

But...

334

Hurry and prepare the horses. Hurry.

335

Greetings to Your Highness.

336

- Your Highness.

- Move aside.

337

Your Highness.

338

If you are here to beg mercy for Huo Xuan, don't say anything further.

339

Huo Xuan may be willful, but she would never kill Palace Attendant Zhao.

340

I can guarantee it with my life.

341

Her actions in Jingzhou before

342

already incited the hatred and grudges of everyone.

343

You still did everything to cover up for her.

344

You repeatedly got scolded by His Majesty.

345

Now, she even dared to kill the envoy of His Majesty.

346

It is because you have overly spoiled her.

347

You even tell me now that you're this guaranteeing with your life?

348

Do you want to make me die out of anger?

349

Empress Dowager, don't you still understand?

350

This is clearly a trap set up by someone to divide my support.

351

Everyone knows that Palace Attendant Zhao was a person that you have promoted.

352

First, they tried to sow dissension in the relationship between Palace Attendant Zhao and Huo Xuan,

353

and then kill Palace Attendant Zhao, and blame the crime on Huo Xuan.

354

This way, my alliance with the Huo Family and their army will fall apart.

355

Empress Dowager, you have always been very smart. How come you are suddenly being muddled,

356

and falling into the trap of other people?

357

They precisely want the people around me to get confused, one by one, and isolate me.

358

Empress Dowager!

359

Please give me some time to find out who the mastermind is behind this.

360

This is the only way we can seek revenge for Palace Attendant Zhao.

361

If it's really like what you said, Huo Xuan should immediately come back to Pingcheng.

362

I want to personally ask her.

363

You must not!

364

The war in Jingzhou has been never-ending.

365

There is no news from Huo Xuan still. I fear that she must have met some big trouble.

366

If we forcefully call her back at this time, if the front line loses their commander, will they still fight?

367

Moreover, His Majesty ordering people to capture her and bring her back here,

368

they surely will encounter danger in their journey back here. If Huo Xuan dies while outside,

369

that is going to be considered committing suicide out of guilt.

370

By then, it will surely be hard for me to achieve any more support.

371

Empress Dowager, even if it's just for my sake,

372

please ask His Majesty to give me some more time.

373

You keep defending Huo Xuan.

374

But with her usual actions,

375

she surely is involved in this matter.

376

- Empress Dowager.

- Okay already.

377

Get out. Order someone to escort the Prince Regent back to his manor.

378

Yes.

379

Your Highness.

380

Senior Maid Qin.

381

Send someone to immediately treat the Prince Regent. His illness must not get any worse.

382

Empress Dowager is so concerned about His Highness. Why then—

383

There are so many officials and officers in the Imperial court. All are looking at us covetously.

384

I also have my difficulties.

385

- Your Highness.

- Prince Regent!

386

You should be careful. Are you alright?

387

Is this what you want to see?

388

This... What do you mean?

389

I saw that your health isn't well yet, but you tried still think of ways to meet with others to help Huo Xuan.

390

I'm touched. But the officials won't give up that easily.

391

If you continue defending Huo Xuan, then you'll completely offend the important ministers.

392

By then, it will also hard for you to explain things to Empress Dowager.

393

If you ride on several boats at the same time, there will surely be difficult times.

394

If you're not careful, the boat might capsize.

395

Your Highness has not yet fully recovered. You must be careful.

396

Don't become a wet chicken.

397

- Prince Kang—

- Shen Yu, don't be disrespectful.

398

Prince Kang, I don't feel well.

399

I'll take my leave now.

400

Prince Regent, you must take care of your health.

401

You're in a good mood.

402

I just brought Rong Zhi some trouble.

403

I even thought that you will not bear to lose that Huo Xuan.

404

How can that be? I have always remembered Royal Mother's teachings.

405

I must always put the general situation first.

406

Since that's the case, you should expel that clothes-washing lady.

407

I'm annoyed by her.

408

Royal Mother.

409

I selected so many daughters of prestigious households for you.

410

Because I was worried that you'd find them too reserved and boring,

411

I meticulously picked the best ones.

412

But you? Really great.

413

Ever so quietly,

414

you brought a lady who washes clothes into your manor.

415

Do you plan to kill me out of anger?

416

Didn't Royal Mother say that I can have any woman that I like?

417

I did say that.

418

But I never thought that she'd have that kind of face.

419

Royal Mother.

420

Taste this, a newly-delivered green tea.

421

I have something to do. I can't accompany you to have a meal anymore.

422

Stand right there.

423

What instructions does Royal Mother still have?

424

If you want to marry that clothes-washing girl,

425

then accept the two concubines I've sent to your manor.

426

They both are daughters of families with clean reputation.

427

Don't know how much cleaner they are compared to that thing.

428

If you want that slave girl to have a peaceful life,

429

you must not refuse my request.

430

- Come!

- Where are you?

431

Here. Come.

432

What are you doing?

433

Slave girl! Seeing that I'm here, you still dare to barge through here?

434

Wanyi, lower down your voice.

435

She is that witch who has bewitched His Highness. We can't afford to offend her.

436

So, you are that clothes washer.

437

And I thought you're some fairy.

438

You are just so ordinary.

439

You...

440

- You!

- You dare to hit me?

441

We are concubines gifted by Imperial Consort Dowager Qi.

442

You unruly slave girl.

443

We are the true mistresses of this manor!

444

You must not get angry.

445

There's no use to being angry with a servant like her.

446

Let's continue playing.

447

You...cheap thing!

448

Mistress, you're back.

449

- What are these?

- Mistress, these are fabrics sent by His Highness.

450

They all are the most fashionable designs in Pingcheng right now.

451

- All are for me?

- Yes.

452

Open them.

453

454

Mistress, these were personally chosen by His Highness for you.

455

What are you doing?

456

Yun'er, don't you like this silk cloth?

457

Your Highness, in the past, there were Concubine Yao and Mo Xi,

458

who didn't like wearing beautiful silk clothes, but loved to hear the sound of fabric tearing.

459

I was just imitating them.

460

Are you unhappy or can't bear wasting these items?

461

Just to make Mo Xi happy, Xia Jie

462

ordered people to deliver exquisite fabrics

463

and tore them, one by one, in front of her,

464

just to make her happy.

465

Could it be Yun'er also hopes that I'll do the same?

466

No. I just want His Highness to know

467

that I am like Mo Xi, a witch that will damage the country, and cause suffering for the people.

468

You had better just kill me.

469

Maids, go to my room

470

and bring me my most valuable antique jade items.

471

Yes.

472

This is a gift given by the provincial governor of Jingzhou.

473

It's has a bright luster, and I love how its texture feels.

474

I like to lightly caress its surface.

475

This is another precious jade vase given to me by the previous Emperor.

476

Its patterns are vivid, and it has always been a precious love of mine.

477

Your Highness, what are you doing now?

478

Even if you were to tear apart all the silk in our house,

479

you would still be unable to vanquish the flame of anger in your heart.

480

So I will give you my most-precious jade vessels,

481

to let you destroy all of them.

482

If I do that, will you stop being angry?

483

Your Highness...

484

All of you leave.

485

Yes.

486

To me, the most beautiful silk

487

or the most exquisite jade cannot compare to your hands.

488

If your hands were to be ruined, my heart would hurt.

489

Can you tell me why you were angry?

490

Your Highness, Mo Xi is a pitiful little girl.

491

But because she is beautiful, she had to leave her hometown.

492

And was sent into the palace with other women, like sheep and cows.

493

In your eyes, Yun'er is the same as Mo Xi.

494

We are just toys, right?

495

Then do you feel that

496

I would give all my most precious things to a mere toy?

497

You must know, you are not a toy.

498

You are the most important person in my heart.

499

You are not afraid that I will bring you harm?

500

If I am Xia Jie, as long as Mo Xi is happy, (T/N Last Xia dynasty Emperor 1600 BCE, cruel tyrant, spoiled Mo Xi)

501

even if I have to overturn the whole world, why not?

502

Alright.

503

Since Your Highness is not afraid,

504

I am willing to endure people calling me a witch.

505

Your Highness.

506

Princess Consort, His Highness is-

507

Slowly.

508

Princess Consort...

509

Your Highness, you must take care of your health and stop worrying.

510

I am fine.

511

Your Highness...

512

The Emperor refuses to take back his edict. Prince Kang keeps being overbearing. There is still no news from Jingzhou.

513

I fear that Huo Xuan has met huge trouble this time.

514

Your Highness, please rest assured. General Huo is intelligent and calm.

515

She's an expert in mobilizing troops.

516

There is no one in this world who is her match.

517

It is because she is intelligent that she has enemies everywhere.

518

If someone were to find a weak spot, she would definitely die.

519

Didn't the physician just tell you?

520

Your Highness worries too much, which is why your illness is now worse.

521

Once you get better, then you can work on a solution.

522

By the time I recover, Huo Xuan could lose her life!

523

Bring me a brush.

524

No, no. Palace Attendant Zhao is dead.

525

Now no one can help Huo Xuan. Prince Kang is still being overbearing.

526

I just need some more time.

527

Just a little bit.

528

Just a little...

529

Your Highness.

530

But what can I do now?

531

Princess Consort, it's so late, where are you going?

532

It's too stuffy in the room so I came out to walk around.

533

His Highness is not feeling well, so it is natural for you to worry.

534

You don't need to explain to me.

535

Who says I'm worried about him.

536

Princess Consort, have you heard of this phrase from the Hans called "not saying what your heart means"?

537

Fine. I am worried about him.

538

Princess Consort!

539

What kind of behaviour is this? Outrageous!

540

Wait!

541

Men! There is an assassin!

542

Where?

543

He went that way!

544

- What are you doing?

- This medicine was delivered?

545

Just now, someone from the physician came here. He just left.

546

Rong Zhi, someone wants to kill you.

547

Rong Zhi!

548

Rong Zhi! Rong Zhi!

549

Greetings to Your Majesty, greetings to Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

550

Get lost!

551

How is my uncle now?

552

Your Majesty, His Highness is so fortunate.

553

Thanks to the Princess Consort for being vigilant, he only drank half of the medicine.

554

If not and the poison had entered his internal organs, I fear that now...

555

- You have to ensure his safety.

- I will do my best.

556

Your Majesty.

557

How is it? Did you catch the assassin?

558

I am incapable. We chased the assassin until he went into Prince Kang's Manor, but we didn't dare enter to catch him.

559

Prince Kang's Manor?

560

That's right. We have already surrounded the manor, but we do not dare break in.

561

- We feared that we would cause Prince Kang to be in danger.

- Your Majesty—

562

I know, Royal Mother need not say more.

563

Huben General.

564

I'm here.

565

Receive my orders. Immediately do a search of Prince Kang's manor.

566

Yes.

567

-Where is His Highness?

-He is still in the study, going over matters.

568

- All of you can leave.

- Yes.

569

Help me....

570

Hurry and leave!

571

Your Highness, do you see it with your own eyes?

572

Your most beloved woman

573

quite unexpectedly actually has another man hidden in her house in the middle of the night!

574

It is not like that, Your Highness. This person was thrown into our back courtyard!

575

I didn't dare shout, in case it caused a bigger misunderstanding.

576

So I had no choice but to bring him in,

577

and I was preparing to interrogate him.

578

Search the manor. We have to catch that person!

579

-Search!

-Yes!

580

-Search there!

-You men go there!

581

What is going on outside? Why is it so noisy?

582

Your Highness, do you believe me?

583

Your Highness, you cannot believe her.

584

She definitely has an ulterior motive.

585

At this time, it is better for you to be wary of her.

586

Now only I can save you.

587

If you go out now, you will definitely die.

588

General Shen, what are you doing now?

589

I am investigating a case!

590

If you continue walking forward, that is the inner courtyard of the Kang Manor. His women are living in there.

591

Doing this is too disrespectful, don't you think?

592

Search carefully. If there is resistance, execute them for the crime of resisting the Imperial decree.

593

Yes!

594

Stop there, you cannot go in!

595

Get lost.

-You cannot just enter. His Highness is-

596

Brave General, what do you want by barging in at night?

597

His Highness the Prince Regent suffered an assassination attempt tonight,

598

so I have an Imperial order from the Emperor to search this manor.

599

How audacious.

600

Seeing His Highness, and you still do not greet him?

601

His Highness?

602

Who is it?

603

Greetings to Your Highness.

604

It's cold outside, how can you be wearing so little?

605

I was ordered to search the manor.

606

- Search!

- Yes!

607

- Help me!

- General, this...

608

Your Highness!

609

- Qi Heng!

- Here.

610

These two dared to mock my beloved concubines.

611

Dig out the eyes of the two of them!

612

Yes! Men!

613

Prince Kang!

614

It's all Your Highness' fault. You just had to have those other two women here to serve you.

615

Aren't you being laughed at now?

616

A joke? In my house, I can do whatever I want.

617

Can other people tell me what to do?

618

You have already searched my bed.

619

What else do you want to do?

620

May Your Highness forgive my crimes.

621

Tell your master,

622

next time...if he dares to search my manor again,

623

I will dig out your eyes too!

624

Immediately take your men and get out!

625

Get out!

626

Your Highness.

627

Take that person away.

628

Yes.

629

Men!

630

Your Highness, there is something fishy about this!

631

Get out!

632

Yes.
