Episod28

16

What medicine guide?

17

A meat from my arm.

18

Your Highness!

19

Ma Xueyun?! Are you crazy?! Who adds meat to a medicinal soup?

20

Princess Consort, there's something that you don't know.

21

There are so many weird medicinal guide in this world.

22

Ten years ago, when our empire's great general went on an expedition against Rouran, he suddenly fell ill midway.

23

All the medicines failed to work and his life was hanging by a thread.

24

A miracle doctor then used some loess (sandy soil) as a medicine guide.

25

That cured his illness.

26

Everyone found it weird. How could some loess cure an illness?

27

It was then found out that what he got was homesickness.

28

The loess just happen to address the cause.

29

With the same logic, using human flesh as a medicine guide indeed sounded absurd,

30

but this is also documented in medicine classics.

31

Xueyun, let me see your arm.

32

I'm fine.

33

How can you be this stupid? Those are just legends.

34

As long as it's for Your Highness,

35

I will try any legend no matter how absurd they are.

36

Xueyun, it was really hard for you lately.

37

With these words from you,

38

I'm willing to do anything.

39

Why must you hurt yourself? This is very stupid.

40

Your Highness, I just want you to get better soon.

41

Don't worry. I will not disappoint you.

42

Tell me, how can a woman like that exist in this world?

43

Is she crazy?! Cutting off a flesh from her arm as a medicinal ingredient?

44

And Rong Zhi even felt touched by it? What I felt was fear.

45

How scary is a love like that?!

46

What if one day, the love became hate?

47

You eat a flesh from her today. Next time, she'll cut off your intestines!

48

What are you laughing about?

49

I'm asking you what you're laughing about! I'm serious here. I'm not joking with you.

50

Sorry... I didn't mean to do it...

51

What's wrong with your arm?

52

Princess Consort, don't worry. This was caused by me.

53

It's nothing grave. No need for you to worry.

54

Let me see.

55

What happened?

56

Princess Consort...

57

Since you're not talking, I'll look at it by myself then.

58

Your Highness, you should take a good rest.

59

Don't bother with the state affairs first. They will never end.

60

Princess Consort, you suddenly charging here like this,

61

isn't it being rude?

62

Wan'er, you talk.

63

This maidservant is...

64

She's a maidservant that Empress Dowager gifted you.

65

But after Concubine Ma saw her, she liked her a lot.

66

She then kept her by her side. She's now working in the Fragrant Plant Pavilion.

67

Your Highness, I saw that this maidservant was docile and adorable.

68

She also is quite clever, so I took her away.

69

You won't mind, right?

70

It's just a maidservant. You can take her if you want.

71

Chuyu, you came here

72

just to tell me that she took this maidservant away?

73

Even if she's a lowly maidservant,

74

she's still a living human!

75

Just for self-interest, Ma Xueyun actually sliced off a flesh from her arm.

76

just to support your wonderful claim of sacrificing for His Majesty.

77

Aren't you too ruthless?

78

Does the life of a maidservant worth nothing to you?

79

Xueyun, what's this about?

80

Don't you still understand?

81

This tender and amiable Concubine Ma of yours

82

cut off the flesh from an arm of a servant maid in place of hers to serve as the medicine guide.

83

This way, you will be more grateful to her and love her more.

84

The wound on Wan'er's arm is the proof!

85

Xueyun, what is going on?

86

Princess Consort, you're making slanderous claims.

87

Concubine also has a wound on her arm.

88

If my guess is right, the wound on Ma Xueyun's arm is fake, right?

89

Just open up the gauze and won't we all clearly see it already?

90

Princess Consort, were all those told to you by Wan'er?

91

Yes.

92

Mistress, we just dressed this wound earlier.

93

I'm fine.

94

Xueyun!

95

Princess Consort, are you now satisfied?

96

How is that possible?!

97

Your Highness, I didn't lie!

98

Last night, Concubine ordered me

99

to cut off a flesh from my arm.

100

Since it was for Your Highness, there is nothing to be said against it.

101

Never thought that Concubine has such a plan!

102

I understand now. You heard about the plan of Mistress,

103

deliberately cut off a flesh from your arm,

104

and then go to His Highness to make false accusations

105

claiming that Mistress stole your merit, is that it?

106

Mistress has sincere love towards His Highness, that's why, she's willing to hurt herself just for a medicine guide.

107

You not only didn't pity the painstaking efforts of Mistress towards His Highness,

108

you even tried to claim merits for everything?! Shameless maidservant.

109

No! I didn't! I didn't! I really didn't!

110

Princess Consort, what I said were all true! I didn't lie!

111

If what you said were all true, how then did MIstress get the wound in her arm?

112

I don't know. I really don't know.

113

I believe Wan'er will not make such a big lie.

114

This kind of lie is so easy to unmask.

115

Rong Zhi, you are a smart person.

116

You surely know who is trying to confuse everyone.

117

It is indeed easy to unmask, so usual people will not do such a thing.

118

But it was exactly because she was certain of that, that's why, she tried to risk it.

119

If His Highness believes it, she'll become an aggrieved meritorious subject.

120

A sparrow turning into a phoenix.

121

If anything is to blame, it's her for wanting to get promoted fast. Can't wait to sow dissension in my relationship with His Highness,

122

hence, lost a sense of propriety. She didn't expect that His Highness and I are deeply in love.

123

How could our relationship be affected by just a few words from her?

124

Wan'er tried to frame Concubine. That's insubordination.

125

She should be put to death by flogging based on rules.

126

Since this is her first offense and giving considerations for Empress Dowager,

127

flog her 20 times and send her back to the palace.

128

No! No, Your Highness!

129

- Men!

- I can't go back!

130

I've already been given to you.

131

If I just go back like this, I'll get beaten to death!

132

Your Highness, have mercy! Help me!

133

I didn't lie!

134

Rong Zhi, how come you can't distinguish between right or wrong?

135

This matter clearly was fishy!

136

Princess Consort, what really have I done wrong

137

that you'd rather believe the words of a lowly maidservant than mine?

138

Wan'er is a servant. Of course, she won't have the guts to slander my mistress.

139

But what if someone is backing her up?

140

If that person gives her enough benefits,

141

she naturally would be willing to take the risk.

142

That's why, you want to say that I instigated that maidservant,

143

deliberately told her to lie, so as to destroy the sacrifice of Ma Xueyun?

144

I dare not.

145

But in this world, there are so many jealous women.

146

Unwilling to see His Highness and Mistress in such a harmonious relationship.

147

Always trying to drive a wedge between them.

148

Qingyue! Enough!

149

Ma Xueyun, since when is your maidservant allowed to be disrespectful to me?

150

Bixi, how could you slander Princess Consort?

151

Slap your mouth.

152

Enough.

153

Your Mistress is kind.

154

She told you to slap your own face to silence me.

155

But you get only one chance. If you let me hear you saying disrespectful words to me again,

156

I'll cut off your tongue. Do you hear me?!

157

Yes.

158

Rong Zhi, this is your manor.

159

You can do as you like.

160

Let's go.

161

Your Highness, thank you for trusting me.

162

It's just that this way, the conflict between you and Princess Consort has gotten deeper.

163

Xueyun, promise me. Don't do acts of hurting others and hurting yourself anymore.

164

If my health will require your blood and flesh in exchange,

165

I'd rather die.

166

Okay already. Go back early to rest.

167

No matter what happens in the future, I will be on your side.

168

What's wrong with you, Princess Consort? Who angered you again?

169

Go ask Rong Zhi! Ask him what he's done!

170

His Highness? Isn't he sick?

171

Ma Xueyun clearly was the one who forced Wan'er to cut off her flesh to be made into a guide medicine.

172

Rong Zhi already saw it yet he won't acknowledge it. He even said that Wan'er was lying.

173

And then punished her with 20 flogging then drive out of the manor. Is that fair?!

174

Maybe there is some misunderstanding?

175

What misunderstanding can there be? If Wan'er really lied,

176

will she thought of such an absurd idea?

177

Concubine Ma is from a noble family.

178

It's not the first time that His Highness put importance to her and was biased towards her.

179

Why must you be this angry then?

180

And I even thought that he...

181

He what?

182

Lanruo, if I say a sentence to you, you must bully me back with one, is that it?

183

Princess Consort, you should think about it well.

184

Are you this angry because you feel injustice for Wan'er

185

or you're being jealous?

186

I...

187

[Red Phoenix Room]

188

Mistress, why must you do this?

189

Wan'er is a person sent by Empress Dowager.

190

You can hit or scold her, but you won't be able to drive her away.

191

But if she commits any big mistake,

192

she can't blame me anymore.

193

But you didn't need to hurt yourself for it, right?

194

I asked her to cut off a flesh for His Highness to be made as a guide medicine.

195

Since she liked to be promoted that much, of course, she was willing to do it.

196

But if I took the merit away from her,

197

she surely would feel aggrieved.

198

In the whole Prince Regent's Manor, only LIu Chuyu can dare to resist me.

199

I have foreseen that she would look for Liu Chuyu.

200

Even though she is smart, she's not good with schemes.

201

She even is warm-hearted and compassionate.

202

Plus that little jealousy among women,

203

she surely will help Wan'er seek justice.

204

That's why, you also cut off some flesh from your arm.

205

This way, Wan'er will appear as deliberately trying to frame you up.

206

The mastermind behind her will naturally become Princess Consort who is holding a grudge against you.

207

That is really two birds with one stone.

208

When His Majesty saw my bloody and pitiful wound,

209

he naturally would have tender and compassion towards me.

210

Plus the fact that he hasn't fully recovered from his illness, his mood is currently irritable,

211

of course, he would want to just make concessions to avoid further trouble.

212

But Princess Consort has such strong personality.

213

Their two characters will never be in harmony.

214

Mistress, I know your painstaking efforts.

215

But looking at this wound...

216

If Master knew about this, his heart will surely ache.

217

Let me apply medicine first.

218

Wait. Go and get me some salt.

219

- Salt?!

- Go!

220

Yes.

221

Mistress, the salt is here.

222

Mistress, applying salt in one's wound is one of the worst torture in this world.

223

What really are you...

224

Mistress...

225

If I use wound medicine,

226

the wound will heal. But if I use salt,

227

the wound will look worse.

228

Mistress, that must be very painful.

229

Just looking at it and I already feel so much pain.

230

Even if the wound worsens, can it be more painful than my heart?!

231

If His Majesty sees it like this,

232

he will feel more pity towards me.

233

Moreover, I want to remember this pain very well.

234

This was all given to me by Liu Chuyu.

235

General, it's already Anzhou territory in front.

236

Let's rest here for the night.

237

I know that you are rushing to return to Pingcheng. But travelling even during the night is really—

238

Really what? Then why not just stay for 17 to 18 days and wait for the grand army to escort us?

239

You clearly know that is not what I meant.

240

I know that you are worried about me.

241

Moving with the whole army will be very slow. I'm rushing to return to Pingcheng.

242

Although this is the empire's border, it's still within the empire. What can happen?

243

Fine. We'll rest here for tonight and continue traveling tomorrow.

244

- Okay.

- Let's go.

245

- Thanks.

- General.

246

Old woman, thank you.

247

General, you are being too polite.

248

If not because you drove away those rebels, how can we have peaceful days right now?

249

We should thank you.

250

You're welcome.

251

This...what is this?

252

This is a few money.

253

You must not.

254

Older woman, I'm staying in your place for the night.

255

If you don't accept the money, I'll immediately leave.

256

This...

257

Just take it.

258

Hurry. Come over here.

259

Come.

260

Call her General Huo.

261

General Huo.

262

Look. I bought some grilled chicken at the market. Eat some.

263

Thanks.

264

Kill!

265

Help! Help!

266

Hurry and run.

267

Wang Ze,

268

who is that bold to do killings and looting here?

269

Their steps are very organized. Their movements are very fast. They are a well-trained army.

270

Our current personal army only has 20 people. We totally won't be able to resist them.

271

General, your safety is more important. Please immediately leave with me.

272

Prioritize the general situation, General.

273

If anything bad happens to you, how am I going to explain it to everyone?

274

I know that you want to go back to Pingcheng to see Prince Regent.

275

If you go out now, you might not be able to return.

276

General, we will be able to resist them for a short while. Immediately follow Deputy Commander Wang and leave through the back door.

277

You must try to buy us some time.

278

Yes!

279

General, hurry and escape.

280

Only if you are able to escape can you find reinforcement to help us.

281

Let's go.

282

Help!

283

Grandma, I'm afraid.

284

Don't be afraid. I'm here.

285

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

286

General, let's quickly go or it will be too late.

287

We only have 2 legs. How is it possible to run overrun those beasts?

288

Very soon, they'll be able to chase us.

289

What should we do then?

290

Only one way.

291

General, the 20 personal guards would rather die than surrender. We were unable to know the whereabouts of Huo Xuan in the end.

292

We've brought all the women. May General check them.

293

No. All are not.

294

General, all the women in the town are all here.

295

Huo Xuan surely hasn't escaped far from here yet.

296

If she's alive, I want to see her. If she's dead, I want to see her corpse. Continue searching!

297

Yes.

298

Informing General, the footsteps disappear by the riverside.

299

And I was wondering why I can't find her, so she escaped through the river.

300

Spread my order, continue searching by following the river flow!

301

- We will strictly obey General's command.

- Wait!

302

General, please give your orders.

303

You guys are not familiar with the topography here. Go and get some villager. You all must chase her back!

304

Yes.

305

General, they thought that we've jumped into the river and escaped. They surely will chase us to the other side of the river.

306

They will never think that we've sneaked back here.

307

General, as long as we follow the main road, once we've met up with the main army,

308

we surely can catch them all and seek revenge for the dead villagers.

309

Go and get the horses. Let's quickly leave this place.

310

Yes.

311

General Huo, my grandma was captured by them.

312

And all the women in the village also got taken away.

313

They were forced to be guides to capture you.

314

- General.

- Immediately go back to the camp and mobilize the army. I will leave symbols for you along the way.

315

General, what are you trying to do?

316

Follow my instructions. That's an order.

317

General, it wasn't easy for us to have escaped.

318

If you go back now, all will be in vain.

319

General!

320

General, we've been searching for so long and we can't find any traces of her.

321

If we continue searching in such loud manner, we will alarm the guards of Anzhou.

322

Stupid bunch. With such a good opportunity, you all actually let Huo Xuan escape?!

323

General, please forgive us.

324

Maybe, it was this old woman that deliberately led us to the wrong direction.

325

Kill all those women!

326

No!

327

No...

328

Who is there?!

329

The person you want is me. Why must you kill innocent people?

330

Huo Xuan?!

331

Release all of them. I'll go with you.

332

Aren't you going to hurry and make a decision?

333

Don't wait for me to change my mind and do a 'fish dying or net splitting' move. (life and death struggle) You surely won't benefit from it.

334

Okay. I agree with your condition. I'll release them.

335

But you must do as you promised.

336

General Huo, you must not.

337

Even if I kill them now, you won't be able to do anything.

338

If the women here will lose even a hair, I surely will pull your tendons out and skin you.

339

If you don't believe me, why don't you give it a try?

340

Okay.

341

Sorry to cause you all to be frightened. Go back now.

342

Let's go. Hurry.

343

Tie her up.

344

Make-ups!

345

Madam Le, there are cosmetic products over there. Let's go take a look.

346

Newly delivered make-ups!

347

Come. Come, miss. Just look around.

348

All these are make-ups coming from the Western Regions.

349

Just casually look around.

350

Madam Le, someone has been following us.

351

He suspects me as being a spy.

352

He is vigorously looking for my weakness. He surely won't give up.

353

But isn't His Highness already believed you?

354

His Highness believes, but the lackeys around him may not.

355

Every time we go out, he would follow us. So annoying.

356

He also always say bad words about you in front of His Majesty.

357

Enough. Don't say it anymore.

358

Lord Qi, do you have time to have a few words with me?

359

What is there to talk about with a spy?

360

Don't think that because you're able to fool His Majesty, you can fool me. Dream on.

361

Although I've told His Majesty about my past,

362

Lord still isn't at ease.

363

That's why, I especially waited for you here today

364

hoping to slowly clarify things to you.

365

What do you want to say?

366

Please.

367

Although you have always suspected me, you are very loyal to His Highness.

368

I admire that a lot.

369

I know that the misunderstandings between us is too deep.

370

You have always been vigilant against me.

371

I don't expect that the grudges between us will get resolved with just one tea drink.

372

But, I hope that Lord will give me this honor.

373

At least, don't let His Highness be bothered by the conflict between us.

374

Please.

375

Qi Heng, I tried to be kind to you, yet you dare to take liberties with me?!

376

What has happened?

377

- Your Highness...

- Your Highness!

378

She...

379

Your Highness, I indeed came from a lowly background.

380

I indeed got mocked and bullied numerous times. But it's fine for outsiders to bully me.

381

Even the person closest to Your Highness also look down on me, moving his hands and feet on me.

382

I really can't continue staying in this Prince Kang Manor anymore!

383

- Yun'er.

- Your Highness, she's trying to sow dissension.

384

It was clearly her who invited me to have tea here.

385

She then broke the cup and suddenly hit me. She totally is crazy!

386

Yes, I invited you for tea.

387

It's because I wanted to resolve the conflict between us

388

in behalf of His Highness. But what about you?

389

You wanted to use the opportunity to belittle me. So shameless.

390

If a pervert like you is not taught a lesson, how could my anger dissipate?

391

You...are making baseless accusations!

392

The hand of my Mistress is already red from the heat. How could you still say that she's slandering you?

393

Injuring oneself to gain pity trick! This is a trick!

394

Shut up.

395

Your Highness, do you really believe her?

396

Enough.

397

Yun'er has usually been a proud girl.

398

She wouldn't use this kind of trick to falsely accuse others.

399

Come.

400

Qi Heng, your words and actions have become more and more unbridled lately.

401

I am giving Royal Mother respect and was already being lenient with you.

402

This time, you really have went overboard.

403

Your Highness.

404

- Apologize to Yun'er.

- I...

405

Let me tell you that Yun'er is the madam of the Prince Kang Manor.

406

No matter if you really told her obscene words or how you kept targeting her in the past,

407

you already went beyond her limit.

408

That's why, you must apologize to her.

409

Or else, from now on, you're not allowed to enter the Prince Kang Manor.

410

Your Highness, Lord Qi is of noble status.

411

He is a top level nobility. Let's not force him anymore.

412

Apologize.

413

Sorry.

414

I am unable to bear the word 'sorry'.

415

Do you now know the feeling of getting falsely accused?

416

You send people to follow me everyday determined to prove that I'm a spy.

417

My actions today are just to let you know

418

what it is called to be aggrieved and having anger welling up in one's heart.

419

Your Highness, look! She clearly slandered me!

420

I didn't belittle her. All of these are false accusations!

421

What about the stalking?

422

I am not a spy, yet I'm being treated as a spy.

423

Lord Qi isn't a rascal, you're being accused of a rascal.

424

Only by experiencing the insult of getting falsely accused can you really understand my feelings.

425

Look at how angry you are that you're trembling.

426

The more you should know now to not do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you.

427

From now on, I hope you will stop following me.

428

Or else, next time, His Highness will be unable to save you too.

429

Your Highness, I'll take my leave.

430

Go now.

431

432

Your Highness, what are you laughing about?

433

It was clearly you who kept following her.

434

How could you blame her for biting you back?

435

From now on, stop offending those petty women.

436

Or else, the next time she does her move, you might really lose any descendants.

437

Okay already. Since I let her stay by my side,

438

I then will stop doubting her.

439

You should stop being the vile man.

440

But if you keep a woman as sly as fox in your manor,

441

she surely will be a source of disaster in the future!

442

Princess Consort, don't run so fast.

443

- Be careful.

- Jeez, stop following me!

444

I came to fetch you. Let's go.

445

Qingyue, for the Offering Ceremony to the Buddha, don't come with us anymore.

446

Ha?

447

- But...

- You have me. Let's go.

448

Still not going?

449

Stupid girl, didn't you hear what His Highness say?

450

He will accompany her. Let's go.

451

Mistress.

452

Tell me, did His Highness find me very pretty today?

453

This formal dress was prepared for the ceremony.

454

That time, I was thinking that I surely will be able to wear this

455

and walk beside His Highness.

456

I just never thought...

457

Is it pretty?

458

Extremely beautiful.

459

Xueyun.

460

Your Highness.

461

Your Highness, why are you here?

462

The wound in your arm isn't healing well.

463

I was worried about you, so I came to visit.

464

My arm's wound is almost healed. No need for you to worry.

465

Why are you wearing that at this late?

466

Your Highness, have you forgotten? Tomorrow is the Ceremony to Honor Buddha. This is the formal dress that I had customized.

467

How about it? Is it pretty?

468

Xueyun, sorry.

469

- You can't attend the ceremony.

- Why?

470

Empress Dowager's imperial decree. Only Princess Consort can go, you can't join.

471

Xueyun, sorry.

472

Your Highness, just for this ceremony,

473

do you know how much effort I gave to prepare?

474

I just want to stand by your side.

475

Xueyun, it is just a ceremony. Why must you be like this?

476

It's not that I want to compete for something.

477

As long as I'm able to stand behind you, even if it's just some corner...

478

I beg you. Just let me come. I beg you.

479

Xueyun, this is the imperial rule.

480

Even if I'm the Prince Regent, I can't change it.

481

Your Highness, just for you,

482

I was willing to compromise and just be a concubine.

483

A concubine. Just a concubine.

484

That is of a lowly status.

485

Even my close friends are secretly mocking me.

486

They say that I married a man that's unable to give me a status of being his official wife!

487

But I don't regret it.

488

As long as I'm able to stay by your side,

489

I am willing to endure anything.

490

I just want this one chance.

491

I want them to know that

492

I belong to Prince Regent, that I can also stand under the sun, Your Highness!

493

Let me go with you, Your Highness.

494

Xueyun, stop crying.

495

Your Highness, even if I earnestly beg you,

496

am I still not allowed to go?

497

Xueyun, sorry.

498

Mistress, let us go...

499

Mistress, what are you doing?!

500

Mistress...

501

Mistress, stop doing things to harm yourself, okay?

502

Mistress!

503

Hope Buddha can bless Wei

504

to be peaceful forever and the citizens happy.

505

To conclude the marriage alliance between Wei and Song...

506

Prince Regent's Wife, it's your turn.

507

Go now.

508

You will represent Liu Song in showing your sincerity towards Wei

509

and your determination to maintain the peaceful relationship between Song and Wei through the conclusion of the wedding alliance.

510

This is a very important ceremony for this year. Go now.

511

I...

512

What? Stage fright?

513

I'm not.

514

Just like what everyone knows,

515

I traveled far

516

and left my homeland to come here in Wei.

517

I...

518

My arrival is to conclude the marriage alliance between Song and Wei,

519

to stop the war, to eliminate the conflicts between Song and Wei,

520

and bring the citizens long lasting peace.

521

- These lines are wrong. Didn't we already prepared a script for her?

- Wei and Song becoming one family.

522

Chuyu doesn't understand Xianbei language. She must have forgotten her line.

523

- This is improvised?

- ...the citizens living peacefully and happy.

524

Share prosperity and glory.

525

As the Song princess, I came here to Wei

526

to exercise the duties of the wife of the Prince Regent.

527

May Buddha bless us. Let Wei and Song

528

stay united and their friendship lasting forever.

529

What's going on?

530

Come with me.

531

Men! Men! Put out the fire!

532

Buddha's statue! Men!

533

Your Majesty, this is a warning from the heaven.

534

Not only did the three-heaven lamps suddenly ignited,

535

even the sacrificial vessel was completely burned.

536

No such thing has ever happened in the past ceremonies.

537

This is the heaven's wrath. This is Buddha's

538

punishment.

539

How come this happened?

540

Your Majesty, it must be because the prayer of Prince Regent's Wife,

541

which is also this Liu Song princess, was insincere. It angered the heaven,

542

hence, such a disaster happened.

543

High Priest, you must have gotten it wrong.

544

Chuyu was sincere in praying for the peace between Wei and Song. How could she have angered the heaven then?

545

Prince Regent, High Priest has been making predictions and praying for blessing for 30 years.

546

He never has been wrong.

547

Don't forget. Everything was fine while His Majesty was praying.

548

How come mishaps happened when it's the Liu Song princess turn?

549

Whether it's the heaven's wrath or someone's evil plot, we must investigate it clearly.

550

Just to shield her, you really will do anything.

551

The offering ceremony to Buddha is a very important ceremony.

552

In the past, one of the lamp of the three-heaven lamp didn't get lighted.

553

Our ancestor tried to maintain peace and let it pass. But that year,

554

Huazhou suffered flooding and Yongzhou had an epidemic.

555

There was seething public discontent and several uprisings.

556

Now that the ceremonial stage got burned and destroyed, you are just brushing it off like that.

557

Are you afraid that this will cause you trouble?

558

I followed the rules when I prayed. How can there be any heaven's wrath?

559

The sudden fire was just accident. I didn't intentionally do it.

560

Your Majesty, please forgive Chuyu for being indiscreet out of anxiety.

561

I just hope that you give me time to investigate this matter.

562

- Investigate? Are you suspecting High Priest of lying

- Is that for real?

563

or suspecting the will of the heaven as being wrong?

564

- You...

- Don't get agitated.

565

Your Majesty, urgent news from Anzhou.

566

They say that the Song army attacked them last night

567

and 423 males were killed.

568

The attackers were wearing Liu Song military uniforms.

569

Impossible!

570

How could the Liu Song army pass across the borders and attack?

571

Is this news accurate?

572

I've already repeatedly asked them about it.

573

Everyone had the same answer, that is the attackers are Liu Song soldiers.

574

Also, there is one more situation.

575

What situation?

576

Yesterday, Feifeng General just happened to be in Yunmeng County.

577

- Huo Xuan?

- The Ministry of War sent a report

578

that Feifeng General has been captured

579

when she tried to rescue the women and children. It's still unclear if she's still alive.

580

How come things become like this?

581

It's impossible for Song to attack for no reason at all.

582

Your Majesty, have you forgotten. There was an incident before of a fabricated murder to frame the Song envoy.

583

And there were also several incidents after that tried to sow dissension between Song and Wei.

584

This time, how sure are we that they are not doing the same trick again?

585

Your Majesty, in the report earlier, it was said

586

that someone within our army recognized the leader of the enemy's army

587

as being Sima Jun, a trusted aide of the Liu Song emperor.

588

Everyone heard that, right? This is not some sowing dissension strategy.

589

It's an open act of evil deed, an act of a bandit.

590

Prince Regent's Wife, how are you going to explain now the actions of Sima Jun?

591

If the Liu Song emperor didn't give the order, how can a measly general

592

dare to attack Wei's borders? This is not destroying the treaty,

593

it's inciting a war.

594

Your Majesty, the highfalutin words that this Liu Song princess said during the ceremony

595

were all just lies. Her real identity

596

is a spy of Liu Song. Her real motive in coming to Wei is to bewitch the Prince Regent

597

and to get information.

598

No wonder the heaven was angered, the ceremonial stage was burned.

599

This is a warning given to Wei by the heaven.

600

For the citizens who were wronged and killed,

601

for Wei's prosperity, this woman must not be allowed to live.

602

Your Majesty, the matter happened so suddenly. Investigate it well.

603

Your Lady Majesty Empress Dowager, things are already very obvious.

604

Must we wait for the Liu Song army to charge into Pingcheng

605

before you will acknowledge her real identity?

606

Are you all going to force His Majesty to immediately make a decree?

607

This is not forcing. This is the heaven's will.

608

Your Majesty, you must not hesitate anymore.

609

Everyone is saying the same thing. It clearly is something that was prepared beforehand.

610

Your Majesty, High Priest is of noble character and high prestige and is the envoy of the gods.

611

How about we ask his opinion?

612

High Priest, what do you suggest?

613

Buddha was greatly angered. We must use fresh blood to pacify him.

614

This is nature's law that no one can change.

615

Now, we can only use the head of the Liu Song Princess

616

to be offered as a sacrifice to the numerous innocent Wei citizens that have died

617

so as to completely pacify the hatred of the heaven.

618

Your Majesty, the truth hasn't been clearly investigated yet.

619

We can't rashly kill the Liu Song Princess.

620

Or else, we won't be able to redeem the consequences.

621

Prince Regent, Feifeng General has given limitless loyalty to Wei.

622

Now, we still don't even know if she's alive or not.

623

You defending the mastermind of all these at this time,

624

General Huo will surely rebel.

625

Just for a a Liu Song spy,

626

must we suffer the risk of a mutiny?

627

Your Majesty, please hurry and make the decree.

628

Your Majesty, things haven't been clearly investigated yet.

629

You must not be rash in your decision.

630

Your Majesty, this matter is very complicated. You must think about it clearly.

631

Enough!

632

The Heaven will must not be disobeyed.

633

Liu Song did such perverse acts and angered the public.

634

Although I am heartbroken by this, I have no choice.

635

Liu Song Princess will first be locked up in the Minister of Justice Office.

636

After 10 days, she'll be publicly executed.

637

Your Majesty, Prince Regent is able to casually get in and out of the Office of the Minister of Justice.

638

He's been defending the Princess Consort showing that their relationship is quite deep.

639

To prevent arousing any suspicion, let's lock the Prince Regent's Consort, oh, wrong.

640

Let's lock the Liu Song Princess in the Holy Palace and let High Priest handle her.

641

After 10 days, let's do the public execution here in the ceremonial stage.

642

Do it that way then.

643

Don't touch me!

644

I can walk on my own.
