Episode 39

16

What's the point of eyeing the Prince Regent's position all the time?

17

In our Great Wei, there's only one position that's truly above all.

18

So as I see it, there's only one sure path.

19

Aspire...to the Imperial Throne!

20

Chancellor Ma, usurping the throne requires you to be vicious and ruthless.

21

Since time immemorial, so many people have tried it.

22

But in the end, no one had a good ending.

23

You think I'm that stupid?

24

Just because you can't dare to, doesn't mean others don't.

25

The Feng clan is a royal family of Northern Wei.

26

Now that their descendant, Rong Zhi, is holding great power in state affairs.

27

I fear that one day, he'll be able to replace your Tuoba family,

28

and steal this empire. Once Rong Zhi is sitting on that throne,

29

will you swallow your anger and suffer in silence, willingly submit to him?

30

I can't.

31

Sure. Run away then.

32

Leave Wei and become a dog without a home.

33

Conceal your identity to be able to get some leftover food (charity from others).

34

Maybe, that can ensure yourself a safe and peaceful rest of your life.

35

I'm unable to do it.

36

You can't do this or do that. In this world, you can't have it both ways!

37

On one side, you want to be the emperor. On the other side, you want to preserve your good name.

38

Is that possible?!

39

Let me tell you that if you keep hesitating like this,

40

all your hard work, all your efforts,

41

will surely be like fetching water using a bamboo pail, ending up with nothing in the end!

42

I don't even have any army. What can I do?!

43

Your Highness, you have no way.

44

It doesn't mean that I don't.

45

Say it.

46

Just to make that Liu Song princess happy, Rong Zhi has greatly hurt the heart of the people of Wei.

47

There have been discontent within the army for a long time.

48

We can just take advantage of this opportunity.

49

I...let me think about it first.

50

Let me think about it.

51

Tuoba Yun!

52

An opportunity can't be missed, or it won't come again.

53

I'll just say these words this once.

54

Just come find me once you've decided.

55

Qingyue!

56

- Qingyue, how are you doing?

- Princess.

57

I was so worried about you, but you're just eating pear here?

58

That is because I've already known that you're back, so I'm not that worried anymore.

59

You bad girl.

60

I thought that you're badly injured from the Ministry of Justice.

61

But looking at you now, you seem to be fine.

62

What's wrong?

63

Nothing. It's still just a bit painful over here.

64

- Let me see.

- Princess.

65

Don't look anymore. I'm embarrassed.

66

Since you're hurt, don't eat pear anymore.

67

I know. You want us to eat red braised pork hoof, right?

68

No. Before your injuries are healed, you can only eat congee.

69

Princess, then let us—

70

Then return me the pear. I still haven't eaten most of it.

71

- Give it to me.

- Not giving.

72

- Give it to me...

- Be careful.

73

Stop that already. Princess Consort just got back and still haven't rested.

74

Princess Consort still has injuries on her body.

75

Still has injuries?

76

- Then...just rest here. Let's rest together.

- Okay.

77

Your Lady Highness! Your Lady Highness! Prince Regent rescued Princess Consort.

78

This is good then.

79

Good? Princess Consort returned safely.

80

All of His Highness plans just went in vain.

81

Who is Liu Chuyu? Just an insensible girl.

82

How can Yun'er spend so much efforts to plan things just to take away her life?

83

If it's not for her, then it's...

84

Stupid.

85

He knew that Prince Regent won't be able to part with his woman, hence, deliberately set up this trap for him.

86

This time, Ma Zhongliang must be hating Prince Regent upto his bones.

87

Really?

88

That is great news then.

89

Chancellor Ma has so many old students and subordinates. He is one strong force in the government.

90

If His Highness has his help, it won't be long for him to take down Prince Regent.

91

Just for a woman, offending so many people inside and outside the government,

92

I really can't understand this Prince Regent anymore.

93

But fine too. This way,

94

there will be good scenes to watch in the future.

95

How come you're suddenly coughing?

96

I'll go get you some water.

97

Were you secretly eating?

98

Turn around.

99

No.

100

And you still say there's none? Look. There's even remnants here.

101

I told you not to eat, yet you still gobbled up a mouthful. One shouldn't be too greedy, okay?

102

Drink some water.

103

Even a snake eats an elephant. Why can't I eat?

104

You must have some limit so you can live longer.

105

If I'm not allowed to eat or drink, what's the point of living 1,000 years?

106

You're not allowed to answer back!

107

You indeed are not letting me eat anything.

108

No answering back.

109

Let go. Let go and I'll let go.

110

You let go first.

111

You let go first.

112

You let go.

113

- Your Highness.

- I'm not letting go.

114

You let go first.

115

Your Highness, you clearly are very worried about Princess Consort. Why didn't you go in?

116

It's rare to see her that happy. I don't want to disturb them.

117

With Qingyue getting hurt, even that Wang Ze guy kept checking the surrounding walls of our manor.

118

If not because I drove him away, he might have scared Princess Consort.

119

It's fine that they're alright.

120

Yes, indeed. But Chancellor Ma must be very angry at you now and will not easily forgive you.

121

- Then from now on...

- Invite a Daoist master for me.

122

I want to pray for Xueyun's soul.

123

That's good too, so as to prevent those people saying this and that.

124

I'm doing this not to let Ma Zhongliang forgive me.

125

I'm doing this for my own peace.

126

I hope that Xueyun can leave in peace.

127

Your Highness.

128

What is it?

129

Before, Princess Consort just returned, so I didn't remind you about this.

130

But now that it's been 3 days,

131

Princess Consort should go into the palace and say thanks to the graces she received.

132

Thank for graces? Who in the palace must she thank?

133

Your Highness.

134

I know already. Go back now.

135

Your Highness, this is the rule.

136

If Princess Consort doesn't go and His Majesty and Empress Dowager get mad at her—

137

Go now.

138

Yes.

139

Your Highness, what Butler Zhang said is right.

140

Since Princess Consort is fine now, she should enter the palace and thank for graces.

141

- No need.

- Ha?

142

Your Highness.

143

I'll just go into the palace.

144

Your Lady Majesty, His Highness has been waiting outside for 2 hours now.

145

Should I ask him in first?

146

Your Lady Majesty.

147

Your Highness. Her Lady Majesty is currently praying.

148

It's incovenient for her to see you right now.

149

How about you just come back tomorrow?

150

What? Even Empress Dowager refuses to see me too?

151

Your Highness, Her Lady Majesty has always been pious.

152

She's really praying. Don't overthink.

153

No, she must be angry.

154

You surely felt that painstaking efforts that Her Lady Majesty did.

155

Before, she did everything to convince you, but you just didn't hear her.

156

Your Highness insisted on your principles, yet you brought problems to Lady Majesty.

157

She must now think of every ways to mediate your situation with His Majesty.

158

I understand the predicament of Empress Dowager.

159

I also know that she's worrying about me. I feel ashamed for that.

160

That's why, I want to personally apologize and ask for punishment from her.

161

Once Her Lady Majesty's anger has dissipated, this matter will come to past.

162

But for now, it's better that you go back first.

163

I will try to urge her.

164

Thank you, Senior Maid Qin.

165

Your Lady Majesty was clearly concerned about His Highness. Why then must you push him away?

166

Rong Zhi is still too arrogant. He always think that he has everything under control.

167

This time, he was able to save the Liu Song Princess. He surely is too complacent with himself now.

168

He didn't even clearly think first

169

that offending Ma Zhongliang is equivalent to losing the trust of the high court officials.

170

If I still am nice to him,

171

what will others think?

172

Everyone will think that the reason why Prince Regent is this unruly and arrogant

173

is because he has me as his backer.

174

Why not be cold with him for now, so he can understand his current situation,

175

so that he will be more careful in doing things in the future.

176

Are things really as grave as you say?

177

Ma Zhongliang acts magnanimous and refined,

178

but his nature is that of a person that takes revenge on even the littlest grudge.

179

After suffering such a huge embarrassment, he surely will not easily spare Prince Regent.

180

Prince Regent now has severed his own arm. (lost an ally)

181

Prince Kang must be celebrating for the time being.

182

Lord Feng is back. He'll be able to help His Highness.

183

You're talking about that older stepbrother of mine?

184

Yes.

185

I already told him not to waste his time on me and Prince Regent.

186

We are not his tools to get power.

187

Go and warn him to be vigilant these next few days.

188

Don't he cause any trouble.

189

Yes.

190

He is still recruiting and building his army?

191

Your Lady Majesty, all families know that His Majesty is against it,

192

but are all secretly amassing territories and expanding their private armies.

193

What time is it already?

194

His Majesty hates pretending to abide openly but secretly disobeying the most.

195

He is placing himself in danger with what he's doing.

196

Immediately send out someone to warn him not to get caught

197

and eventually harm me and Prince Regent.

198

Yes.

199

Your Majesty, please look. This is the latest military formation that I've devised.

200

Putting importance on the foot soldiers, plus the war carriages pushing forward in layers.

201

In the book 'Methods of Sima', it is said that to break the enemy's formation,

202

use war carriages to charge through towards them and the foot soldiers will encircle the war chariots.

203

This will increase their attack strength,

204

but the defense will be poor.

205

In Royal Brother's opinion, what should we do then?

206

I feel that we should add one more troop

207

that will mainly take care of those incoming attacks.

208

Can adding changes to an ancient military formation like that really be useful?

209

I guarantee that after we add the changes, there will be further increase in its usage.

210

But to do experiments on the battlefield is experimenting on their lives.

211

No need to go to the battlefield. Just bring me next time when you go hunting.

212

- I will prove it to you.

- Hunting?

213

Yes. This strategy is also good in dealing with beasts.

214

That's good too. I was just planning to...

215

Your Majesty.

216

Your Majesty, it seems that Prince Regent needs to talk with you. I'll take my leave for now.

217

I admit my mistakes.

218

You think that I'm young so you don't give any importance to me.

219

With your great abilities, you even still know to admit your mistakes?

220

I know that I've committed a mistake. May Your Majesty punish me.

221

Let me ask you then why you must disregard everything and save Princess Consort?!

222

In your heart, is she that important?! Important enough for you to forget everything?!

223

I've always remembered that

224

anyone or anything will never weigh more than the government.

225

Why then did you defy public opinion and risked offending all of the government officials

226

just to save a woman?!

227

Because I want my conscience to be clear.

228

I know that sacrificing Chuyu can pacify the anger of Chancellor Ma and the government ministers.

229

But if I know what the truth is yet I still chose to hide it,

230

I will feel unable to face my conscience.

231

A clear conscience...

232

Such stern and just words. Compared to you,

233

I then looked like a vile person.

234

I also tried to weigh the pros and cons, repeatedly thought about it.

235

Your Majesty wanted to use the smallest sacrifice in exchange for a gentle wind and calm waves.

236

But if Chuyu dies, will Chancellor Ma's anger really get pacified?

237

No. Impossible.

238

Chancellor Ma's heart is already boiling with rage.

239

He surely will not let things go just because Chuyu dies. Since that's the case,

240

sacrificing an innocent life just for a short peace like that is totally meaningless.

241

You even are being argumentative?

242

What I'm saying are my sincere words.

243

When facing difficulties, if I will just push a woman out like that,

244

having no boldness to bear the responsibilities, having no courage to go after the truth,

245

I am not worthy to be trusted by you nor be this Prince Regent.

246

That's right. The Ma Clan's power is indeed tremendous.

247

The high ministers are also eyeing me covetously, wanting me to show any weakness.

248

Just to achieve this goal, they even delivered me the knife,

249

asking me to personally dig out Chuyu's heart.

250

Being that cruel and terrible, completely disregarding the presence of their emperor.

251

As the Prince Regent, I will definitely not give in to their coercion.

252

Or else, they would be coercing me now,

253

but in the future, be insatiable. That even Your Majesty

254

will eventually become their pawn.

255

Do you know the consequences of your actions?

256

Since I dared to save Chuyu, I then have expected the difficulties that will follow.

257

I have the confidence to solve these difficulties.

258

Uncle, you were able to insist on your original intention.

259

You didn't disappoint Empress Dowager's vigorous recommendation in the past.

260

I'm thinking that if you did all these just for romantic reasons, I will surely be disappointed.

261

But now, I can see that you've fully prepared for it and I feel comforted by it.

262

You are Wei's Prince Regent. How can you lose your dignity so easily

263

just because of the coercion of the ministers?

264

But I still want to ask you,

265

what if one day, you're ask to choose between Chuyu and the state?

266

If there is such a day, as the Prince Regent, I will not disappoint Your Majesty.

267

Okay! You must remember you promise all the time.

268

Men! Serve the tea!

269

[Imperial Garden]

270

Your Majesty.

271

Please. Your Majesty, I heard that last time,

272

- Your Lady Highness, what did we eat earlier?

- Huo Xuan in Jingzhou...

273

- It's so delicious.

- Did you like it?

274

I like it. Let's go again next time.

275

Okay. Next time—

276

- Yanzhi!

- This Huo Xuan...

277

Your Lady Highness Imperial Consort Dowager, what are you doing?

278

What do you think of this place that servants can just be allowed to bump into people?!

279

You're still not kneeling?!

280

If you still don't use your eyes next time,

281

I'll dig out those eyes of yours.

282

- Tell me about it.

- I heard that Han Xin used to be very poor.

283

While fishing in the Huang River, he met a...

284

Are you alright?

285

Guiren...

286

Han Xin is very moved. He promised to repay the old man.

287

Let's go back.

288

Aren't you here to see His Majesty?

289

For Her Highness Imperial Consort Dowager to lose her grace like that,

290

I'm sure that Prince Regent didn't lose His Majesty's favor.

291

I also need not say anything more. Isn't that good?

292

The other person is fawning and currying favor, while you're just being calm and stable here?!

293

Your Lady Highness...

294

Leave!

295

Are you also going to pretend to be deaf when I talk to you?!

296

Upon coming back here, I already heard that Royal Mother went to the Imperial Garden.

297

Looks like we brushed passed each other.

298

Brushed passed?

299

The more you should have stayed and looked at that deep affection between an uncle and his nephew scene.

300

I thought that His Majesty was really angry.

301

Never thought that it's just a strong thunder but weak rain.

302

It totally went by so easily like that.

303

Rong Zhi is the Prince Regent. He didn't really commit any grave mistake.

304

It's natural that His Majesty will be biased towards him.

305

- His Majesty—

- All the court ministers hates that Prince Regent. Only him is revering him like Buddha.

306

This is not being biased. This is a heart growing askew.

307

You...just to earn his amusement, you gave it your all.

308

But if you commit just even a slight mistake, you'll immediately get grounded.

309

But what about Price Regent?! Even if he drill a hole in the sky,

310

he still is his good uncle.

311

You are his older brother. You rack your brain, but in the end, all the good things get taken by others.

312

If that's the case, what footing can us have in this palace?

313

Enough! Since I was little, you kept telling me these words.

314

You say it to the point that I feel indignant and wronged. In the end,

315

I ended up bearing hatred.

316

Am I not...

317

just saying the truth?

318

Yes, this is indeed the truth.

319

That's why, I kept listening to you and step by step reached this state.

320

But this doesn't mean that I am willing to keep listening to a woman's manipulation!

321

I am just worried about you.

322

How could you use the word 'manipulation'?

323

In Royal Mother's heart, do you really care about me?

324

Or you have treated me as your tool to compete for power?

325

You know that very well in your heart.

326

- I...

- Starting today, Royal Mother shouldn't worry about my matter.

327

Just behave and stay here in the palace. No matter what happens,

328

don't mention and don't look. Even if the world will turn upside down, it has nothing to do with you.

329

Yun'er...

330

Yun'er! Stop right there!

331

Your Lady Highness, what's wrong with His Highness?

332

What's wrong with Yun'er?

333

This...how come his reaction is so huge?!

334

I...

335

Now that their descendant, Rong Zhi, is holding great power in state affairs.

336

I fear that one day, he'll be able to replace your Tuoba family, and steal this empire.

337

...will you swallow your anger and suffer in silence, willingly submit to him?

338

I am agreeing to your suggestion.

339

You were able to come round to the idea that fast?

340

I feel very delighted.

341

Greetings, Princess Consort.

342

- Shen Yu.

- Why are you here?

343

Is Rong Zhi not around?

344

His Highness has entered the palace since this early morning. Do you need him for any urgent matter?

345

Didn't he save me? I haven't thanked him.

346

I'll just relay it to him once he's back.

347

No need. I want to personally tell it to him.

348

Yes.

349

I'll get going then.

350

Princess Consort, take care.

351

Your Highness, Princess Consort has left.

352

You clearly was inside your room,

353

why then were you avoiding her?

354

Shen Yu.

355

Aren't you being very talkative lately?

356

Princess Consort was just here to thank you.

357

Since Your Highness have heard it, I don't need to relay it to you anymore.

358

I'll take my leave.

359

Shen Yu!

360

You finally want to say it.

361

You are my trusted aide.

362

Can I tell you anything?

363

I am willing to hear Your Highness' problems anytime.

364

I lied to His Majesty today.

365

I told him that I'm confident to face the anger of the court minister and Chancellor Ma,

366

that I have the courage to bear the possible consequences.

367

But actually, I just wanted to save her.

368

At that time, only that thought was supporting me, I just want to save her.

369

It wasn't only you that wanted to save her. All of us don't want to see Princess Consort get executed.

370

- No. I'm different with all of you.

- What's the difference?

371

I shouldn't let a woman affect my mind.

372

The more I shouldn't risk such great danger for her. This is not right.

373

Actually, sometimes, I hope that you could forget the responsibilities you're bearing

374

and do some inappropriate things.

375

After all, no matter how strong you are, you are still a living human.

376

I don't know if what you did this time is right or wrong,

377

but I know that a you like that is what's really living and worth admiring.

378

No. You don't understand.

379

- Your Highness.

- Everyone says that I have wild ambitions and is vying for greater power.

380

But my initial intention wasn't like that.

381

We are currently in chaotic times. I hope that one day,

382

there would be no more wars in the world.

383

The emperor isn't doubting his own subjects.

384

The court ministers aren't competing for power.

385

The citizens can live in peace and happiness.

386

I hope to see a peaceful, stable, and orderly world.

387

But if you don't break something, you can't create a new one. Only by breaking the old rules,

388

being unscrupulous, can I have the highest power to change this world.

389

That's why, this is my last time committing the same mistake. The last time.

390

Who are you?

391

Stop right there!

392

Where did you come form? You rascal...

393

- Is this a place that you can go to?! Is it?!

- Don't...

394

- Princess Consort! Princess Consort!

- Is it a place that you can go to?!

- Don't...

395

Princess Consort, you must not.

396

Princess Consort, I'm your savior.

397

Princess Consort, this is the Deputy Commander of Feifeng General.

398

He frequently comes to visit Qingyue.

399

Princess Consort, have you forgotten? We've seen each other quite a few times.

400

That day, if not because I brought Doctor Gu there on time,

401

Princess Consort would be in danger.

402

So what if you helped me? Just because you helped me, you can just casually trespass here?

403

Acting so mysteriously... Why did you come here?

404

I... Of course, I was ordered by General

405

to come visit Princess Consort.

406

Oh, so it's like that. How about this?

407

I won't be courteous then.

408

No, you... That is for Qingyue!

409

So the date filled crisps that you bought by traveling half the city to Feicui (Emerald) Restaurant were for Qingyue?

410

Yes. At the same time I'm visiting Princess Consort, I'm also visiting

411

the brave and injured Miss Qingyue.

412

Princess Consort, hope you can be magnanimous to me.

413

Here. It's that way.

414

Thanks.

415

Lanruo, is this handsome lad trying to court Qingyue?

416

You just noticed it now?

417

This Deputy Commander Wang is young and has numerous achievements. He has extraordinary bearing.

418

He is even under the personal command of General Huo. Who knows how many girls are crushing on him?

419

Qingyue is quite fortunate.

420

Qingyue! Let me tell you

421

that you shouldn't get overboard! If I really get mad,

422

you won't have dumplings from Emerald tomorrow!

423

You dare to not deliver it to me tomorrow?!

424

Always moving your hands or feet on me like that, quickly get lost!

426

Other than eating, Qingyue doesn't have any other interests.

427

I...am just playing by a person's interest.

428

I'll just leave now for today. I'll just come back tomorrow to visit her.

429

See you again next time.

430

Say, he being able to come in and out of here without anyone noticing,

431

it must be Shen Yu who has let him in.

432

General Shen is really putting quite a lot of effort just to avoid suspicion.

433

Citizen's unrest in Sizhou is getting worse.

434

What course of management do you all have?

435

Your Majesty, I am willing to personally go to Sizhou to placate the disturbance.

436

Your Majesty, I've been in Pingcheng for a month already and my bones are itching.

437

Just let me go to Sizhou.

438

The trade talks with the Jiang Tribe has also ended.

439

On the way to Sizhou, I can also escort the Jiang envoy back to their tribe for a bit.

440

After that great disorder with the Jiang Tribe last time,

441

I fear that it will be inconvenient for Prince Kang.

442

Feifeng General has quite a deep prejudice against Prince Kang.

443

How come you're so sure that Prince Kang won't be able to go?

444

Although Your Highness has strong desires to give it a try,

445

the anger of the Jiang Tribe hasn't been placated yet.

446

If the main cause of the problem will keep moving around them,

447

just a minor mismanagement, the result of Prince Regent's one month negotiations

448

will just become wasted efforts.

449

Feifeng General, I have the confidence that I'll be able to manage well the relations with the Jiang Tribe.

450

Just to fulfill Prince Kang's confidence, we're going to put the relations of the two states at stake?

451

Isn't that such a huge stake?

452

Your Majesty!

453

I understand now. I'll give this matter to Feifeng General.

454

Thank you for Your Majesty's trust. I surely will do my best.

455

Feifeng General, I still have some questions regarding the Military Formation Diagram that you gave me last time.

456

Once I return from Sizhou, I'll immediately give you the answer.

457

No need to wait for your return from Sizhou. Stay behind later.

458

Just use the sand box to demonstrate the Military Formation Diagram.

459

Yes.

460

What's wrong with you? You clearly stayed behind to wait for me to exit the Palace, yet you're not talking.

461

You shouldn't go to Sizhou.

462

I have always love bustling places.

463

Sizhou now is like opening a boiling pot with steam filling the air. If I don't go to look at it, how could I be contented?

464

- Didn't you notice something strange?

- What's strange?

465

Tuoba Yun has always been persistent until he gets what he wants. Yet this time, he easily gave up.

466

That is because I was on point and very reasonable. He has no way to continue with his argument.

467

No matter what, the imperial decree has been given. In this trip to Sizhou, be very extra careful.

468

Wait for my return.

469

General, you're back. We'll be training the soldiers this afternoon.

470

Go and pack up your things. We'll immediately set out for Sizhou.

471

Go to Sizhou? We've just arrived here in Pingcheng. Were leaving again?

472

There is citizen unrest in Sizhou. I must stop it.

473

It has been raining these past days. Your old illness must be aching quite a lot.

474

There are so many generals in the government. Can't another general be sent instead?

475

- If His Majesty asks me to go, then he must have a reason why I must go.

- What reason?

476

Stop with your nonsense. Go to the military camp and choose the men. We'll immediately set out.

477

Yes.

478

In the past, I looked for the top craftsman.

479

I learned from him diligently for 3 years. I wanted to give Royal Father a surprise.

480

But never thought that my Royal Father was in a bad mood that day.

481

He just drove me away with the phrase 'trifling matters will just sap the spirit'.

482

Since we were little, Royal Father favored Tuoba Hong more.

483

I didn't care. I have always treated him like my real younger brother.

484

Whatever I have, I will share it to him.

485

But never thought that when he became the emperor, I became an eye-sore to him.

486

Your Highness, this is not your fault.

487

Of course, it's not.

488

I don't care about those people that abandoned me. Not at all.

489

Your Highness looks problematic today. Is there any special thing that will happen?

490

I'm going.

491

Go where?

492

To go hunting with His Majesty.

493

Your Highness, can you take me with you?

494

I can't. Stay here and wait for me.

495

You look different today.

496

I am indeed different.

497

Starting today, no one can control me anymore.

498

My own life is within my own hand.

499

So abnormal. He's acting in a very abnormal manner.

500

There must be something that's going to happen. But what is it?

501

His Majesty wants Prince Kang to go hunting with him. Could he be inclining towards him?

502

Your Highness, what time is it now? Why are you still so calm?

503

What if Prince Kang used this opportunity to create difficulties for you in front of His Majesty? What then?

504

You think Prince Kang marshaled his soldiers in rank for battle just to fan the wind and create fire (setting up things to create an issue)?

505

I don't know what he is planning. But regardless, we shouldn't just sit and wait for death.

506

While people are in this world, we're like living among thorny vines.

507

If the heart don't move, the person won't move. If he doesn't move, he won't get hurt.

508

If the heart moves, the person moves, harming his body and hurting his bones.

509

Hence, he experiences the different sufferings in this world.

510

What are you saying?

511

Having a smart emperor is not really a good thing.

512

You must always be careful and make sure to never express the sound of your heart.

513

Or else, you will end up in eternal damnation.

514

What you mean is to just let Prince Kang do what he wants?

515

- What I mean is go rub the ink for me.

- Ha?

516

Your Majesty, as long as we wave the banners and simultaneously sound the drums,

517

the beats will surely be forced to go to the trap we set-up.

518

Once they've ran into it, we can then use Yuli Formation to continue the attack.

519

We can then easily capture a huge number of preys.

520

The same principle if used in the battlefield after some improvements

521

will surely give the enemy army a huge shock and we would be able to rapidly defeat them.

522

Good! Good formation!

523

Greetings to Your Highness the Empress Dowager.

524

Chuyu, you've suffered.

525

Quickly be seated.

526

Are you blaming me for not helping you?

527

Your Lady Majesty, I don't mind.

528

Why?

529

This is a trouble that I created myself. If not because I was too confident

530

to think that Ma Xueyun can't do anything to me, how could I end up being with her alone in the tower?

531

It was me who gave others the chance to frame me,

532

hence, I can't blame myself (I think she means others) that I ended up in such state.

533

Prince Regent was indeed right. You are indeed different from others.

534

Your Lady Majesty Empress Dowager, I understand the situation that you and His Majesty were in.

535

That's why, even if you two didn't help me,

536

I also will not bear any grudges. Moreover, hasn't the matter already passed?

537

From now on, I will also learn my lesson and not repeat the same mistake.

538

I also ask Your Lady Majesty Empress Dowager to forget this matter.

539

Okay. Let's forget the unhappy things. Forget all of them.

540

Then in future, you will get along happily with the Prince Regent, right?

541

Sure.

542

The Prince Regent? Have him called over to handle that.

543

Your Highness, you've forgotten something.

544

Prince Regent must be with the high ministers now discussing state affairs.

545

Look at me. How come I've forgotten such an important thing?

546

What is it?

547

His Majesty has gone hunting on Xishan, just as he usually does. (T/N "Western Mountain")

548

Contrary to what one might expect, Rong Zhi had to stay behind to act as the Regent.

549

Hunting on Xishan?

550

This is His Majesty's habit over the past several years.

551

In the past, he liked to go places entirely by himself. This year, he actually made an exception and let Prince Kang go together with him.

552

He talked about looking at some new military formation. This really gave Prince Regent problems.

553

He is now being swamped with state affairs.

554

This is His Majesty's trust to Prince Regent. Other people won't even be given such honor.

555

Protect His Majesty!

556

Attack!

557

Your Highness, in order to keep our agreement with Chancellor Ma, we can't leave anyone alive who may talk.

558

If at any one point there's so much as a tiny mistake, at once this may bring about a general situation of total defeat,

559

you must not be excessively soft-hearted.

560

You're laughing at this?

561

Shut your mouth.

562

Memorize this moment in time, I have just now become the sole ruler.
