Episode 41

16

How come a cup of tea time is this fast?

17

Men, go and look if our Her Highness the Empress Dowager is already dead.

18

If she's not yet dead, go help her.

19

Who was that?!

20

Impossible. Rong Zhi or Huo Xuan can't be this fast.

21

So, it's you,

22

Feng Tai.

23

Are these soldiers your Feng Manor's private army?

24

Ma Zhongliang, I urge you to immediately put down your weapons

25

and come with me to His Majesty to ask for forgiveness.

26

Dream on! But I have one unexpected finding.

27

I've long heard that the Feng family is harboring a private army that's thousands in numbers.

28

Never thought that after surrounding the Imperial Palace, I was able to lure you all out.

29

If I report this to His Majesty, he surely will be happy, right?

30

If I kill you, I'm a meritorious officer in the pacification of this rebellion.

31

His Majesty will not blame me.

32

Stop telling me these bullshit!

33

Making it high sounding. If not because I wanted to kill this Little Empress Dowager,

34

you were forced to take extreme actions, and used this opportunity to gain some merits.

35

Ma Zhongliang, how dare you!

36

You're the one who is being bold.

37

Look at these rotten soldiers of yours. How can they rival the Longling Army?

38

Men! Arrest him!

39

You...

40

Your Highness, bad news!

41

We had a total of 5,000 men made up of the guards we brought and the Longlin Army soldiers that pledged allegiance to us.

42

But now, they have been utterly defeated.

43

Even if it were the Longlin Army that Chen Yong led, they won't have such power.

44

Unless one person.

45

Who?

46

- Your Highness!

- If you don't want to die, immediately leave!

47

Tuoba Hong!

48

You lied to me?

49

Attack!

50

- Charge towards them!

- Attack!

51

Really?

52

A part of the Longlin Army has pledged allegiance to me.

53

The different army near Pingcheng wouldn't dare to gather if not given an imperial decree.

54

The only army that can appear here now is the Hua Army.

55

But weren't they in Sizhou? How come they have appeared here in Xishan?

56

What if from the start, I didn't plan to send Huo Xuan to Sizhou?

57

What did you say?

58

May Your Majesty give your instructions.

59

What have you guessed?

60

Your Majesty asked me to come here to demonstrate a military formation.

61

But in here, there isn't even a sand table prepared.

62

It shows that from the start, you have a different intention.

63

Asking me to demonstrate is just to conceal it from others.

64

Feifeng General, listen to my decree.

65

I am here!

66

I want you to lead your army and stay guard in Xishan.

67

Xishan?

68

Impossible...this is impossible! I clearly saw then that—

69

Did your scout say that Huo Xuan had led her army to Sizhou?

70

You...

71

That was just a distraction strategy.

72

When her army has passed through Dingwu, they secretly turned around and made way to Xishan.

73

That's why, sometimes, what you see may not be the truth.

74

Tell me! When did you start suspecting me?!

75

In this world, there isn't any completely soundproof wall!

76

Your biggest mistake is you shouldn't have bribed Chen Yong and

77

attempted to break up my Longlin Army!

78

Chen Yong?

79

No.

80

You're wrong again.

81

Sorry, Chancellor Ma.

82

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, everything is fine now!

83

Please come out!

84

Don't be arrogant here! If Chen Yong knows about this—

85

Don't worry. He already doesn't have that chance.

86

Bring him here!

87

You bastard. If not because I took you in,

88

how could you have a today?!

89

You dare to betray me?! You're worse than a beast!

90

In this world, I'm only loyal to His Majesty.

91

Looks like you've been playing me from the start.

92

How important is the Longlin Army? How can it be given to you fully?

93

From the start, it was His Majesty who sent me to the Longlin Army

94

mainly to monitor you.

95

You're so-called favor in promoting me

96

was an opportunity that His Majesty especially created

97

for me to stay in the Longlin Army.

98

You're a traitor!

99

Traitor?

100

His Majesty promoted you to become the commander of Longlin Army.

101

He gave you a high position, high salary, and power.

102

Yet, you weren't contented. You dared to connive with Prince Kang and attempted to revolt?!

103

You disappointed our Longlin Army brother.

104

The more you disappointed the imperial graces of His Majesty.

105

The real traitor should be you!

106

Your Majesty...

107

I tried to calculate everything,

108

except you.

109

I should have known that

110

with your deep manner of thinking,

111

how could you let off any high ministers by your side?

112

Little Empress Dowager, be careful.

113

His Majesty might have placed a spy beside all of us to monitor our moves anytime.

114

If you aren't doing anything wrong, why fear getting monitored?

115

Chancellor Ma, please.

116

I will walk on my own!

117

Little Empress Dowager,

118

I want to warn you to stop being too arrogant.

119

His Majesty is younger than you,

120

but his thoughts are deeper than you.

121

I got defeated in the hands of His Majesty.

122

I am willingly accepting my loss.

123

But don't forget that His Majesty has set-up such a huge trap today

124

not only to catch me.

125

Take care.

126

You're worse than a beast!

127

You're worse than dogs and pigs!

128

Xueyun...

129

Your Highness the Empress Dowager, we've caused you to be frightened.

130

Just leave me to handle the rest.

131

Empress Dowager, what's wrong?

132

You! Follow me inside!

133

Lord Feng, Her Highness has asked that you go in with her.

134

Xishan Hunting Palace

135

Your Highness.

136

No one is allowed to get near. I'll go in by myself.

137

Rong Zhi!

138

I used so much efforts to bribe Chen Yong,

139

but never thought that the power to command the Longlin Army

140

isn't in his hands.

141

You were able to get the support of my Longlin Army because you used their different standpoint and conflicts.

142

For this aspect, I really admire you.

143

Too bad, you didn't use your skills on the right person.

144

Peng Ge didn't make any move because I ordered him to clearly look at

145

how many people have joined the mutiny

146

and how many are still loyal to me.

147

After all, no matter if it's the imperial court or the military,

148

they have been in peace for so long that they've lost the proper vigilance.

149

I should have did some revamping long ago.

150

Your Majesty, do you know that I've sent people to kill Prince Regent? He already—

151

Huo Xuan will go help him.

152

What if Huo Xuan was unable to go there on time?

153

If he wasn't able to last until that time, it can only prove that he's incapable.

154

How could a weak and incapable Prince Regent be worthy of bearing important state responsibilities?

155

Greetings, Your Majesty.

156

You're finally here.

157

I thought that you died within the chaos of the rebellion.

158

Thanks to you, I'm still alive.

159

You also heard it earlier, right?

160

Your life was worth nothing to him.

161

We all were just pawns on a chess game.

162

Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I really want to know.

163

- Ask away.

- You clearly knew that I was trying to revolt.

164

How come you still proceeded with your Xishan trip?

165

I wanted to know up to what point you can implement your scheme

166

- while facing your own brother.

- No!

167

You're lying! You just want to see how I go wild about the imperial position.

168

You wanted me and Prince Regent to slaughter each other.

169

You are that kind of person.

170

You've known about the conflict between us long ago,

171

but you just silently watched. You even used

172

the reason of being aloof on worldly affairs because of your faith in Buddhism.

173

You wanted us to battle until a victor is named.

174

You wanted us to tear up each other apart.

175

Because you don't really have a

176

benevolent heart of a Buddhist believer.

177

You are an assassin whose hands are full of fresh blood.

178

Prince Kang, you're wrong.

179

His Majesty doesn't plan to doom you to death.

180

Until earlier, he was giving you a chance to turn back.

181

Turn back?

182

Yes. His Majesty was waiting for you to quickly and completely realize your mistakes,

183

but you didn't show any traces of repenting for your sins and just showed a heart full of grudges.

184

You're unable to see the pain in His Majesty's heart nor see clearly the consequences of your choice.

185

At least, I've now clearly seen through this emperor that only poses as having high morals

186

- I was able to clearly see his cold and ruthless heart.

- Prince Kang!

187

Enough!

188

Royal Brother, you said it right.

189

I was so disappointed at you.

190

If you have cut through me with your sword yesterday,

191

I would have admired you for being cruel and merciless, being resolute and bold.

192

Too bad, you only have useless wild ambition

193

but not enough courage.

194

If I was the one wielding that sword, I wouldn't let it land at nothing.

195

If you're talking about having the heart of a wild beast, so sorry, I don't have one.

196

On that aspect, we're very different.

197

Men!

198

Your Majesty.

199

Arrest Prince Kang and escort him back to the palace.

200

Yes.

201

Rong Zhi, after the cunning hare is killed the dog is boiled.

202

Today, I'm over. But one day, it will be your turn!

203

You also want to question me, am I right?

204

I dare not.

205

You dare not?

206

But your expression has already betrayed you.

207

You're like Prince Kang, thinking that I did all these

208

just to watch you two cut each other's throats. Am I right?

209

I have always thought that

210

even though Prince Kang has wild ambitions, he can still be considered a formidable person.

211

He can kill anyone in this world,

212

but will never harm his own brother.

213

Reality proved that I wasn't wrong about him.

214

But I don't have an all-seeing mind. I was wrong about you.

215

What really do you want to say?

216

In the Xishan hunting trip, the emperor was gravely injured.

217

I was so anxious that I traveled all night to rush here.

218

As long as I'm given enough time, I would have realized where the problem lied.

219

But I still didn't hesitate and came here,

220

because His Majesty was in danger and he needed me.

221

Even if I died within an evil scheme, I won't complain.

222

But I never thought that all these were within your scheme.

223

So what?! In the end, it's all because he has such wild and grand ambition!

224

You clearly could have nipped the evil while in the bud and not give Prince Kang any chances to attempt his assassination,

225

but you still came. You clearly could have hinted me,

226

so I could guard against it beforehand, but you didn't.

227

At the start, you watched as Prince Kang initiated his revolt.

228

Next, you were indifferent in watching me risk danger.

229

What Prince Kang wanted to ask is also the same question I wanted to ask.

230

We all are your family and subject.

231

How come you still played us in the palm of your hands?

232

No matter who you catch, both are your your close relative.

233

You're blaming me for being heartless?

234

- I didn't say so.

- I did this because I want to see

235

up to what degree will you two disappoint me!

236

I don't understand.

237

Okay. You don't understand? I'll explain it to you.

238

You are too immersed in romantic love, but lacks fervent and vigorous spirit in your political career.

239

You offended the high ministers of the court and hurt the foundation of state affairs.

240

That is your first crime.

241

The undercurrents in Pingcheng were moving turbulently. Prince Kang has been making successive movements.

242

You instead didn't sense it earlier and was still making your good dream of the imperial court being in a stable state.

243

That is your second crime!

244

As the Prince Regent, you are bearing immense responsibilities.

245

Even if I die in Xishan, the first thing that you should do is not to rush to Xishan,

246

but to manage the general situation here in Pingcheng!

247

But what did you do? You practiced brute courage.

248

You just threw your important duties to the back of your mind.

249

That is your third crime.

250

Just for this government, I've put in all my efforts to set this trap.

251

Yet you dared to question me? It's a total waste of my painstaking efforts!

252

Leave!

253

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

254

You have heard everything, right?

255

I understand now.

256

Prince Kang was harboring evil intentions. His Majesty just went with his plan,

257

so he could lure Ma Zhongliang and their other allies out and then capture them all.

258

But...isn't that eliminating your future troubles too?

259

Really?

260

Of course, it is.

261

If His Majesty really cared about me, why would he just watch as I go to my death?

262

If not because Huo Xuan came in time, I would have been a corpse now.

263

What then will be the point of eliminating my future troubles?

264

Prince Kang indeed committed a grave mistake, but he was right about one thing.

265

I indeed don't understand His Majesty.

266

I don't understand why he is this ruthless despite being this young.

267

He was able to drag us both to the execution stage,

268

yet still able to say it in a righteous and unashamed manner.

269

Rong Zhi! Rong Zhi!

270

General Huo.

271

You're still not chasing?

272

Rong Zhi!

273

No. I want to see His Majesty.

274

Prince Regent was so angry. After arguing with Princess Consort for a while, he has left.

275

Yes.

276

Greetings, Your Majesty.

277

You're here.

278

Get up.

279

Yes.

280

- General Huo, do you feel that what I did was wrong?

- Your Majesty.

281

Prince Kang blamed me for being biased to my uncle. Prince Regent blamed me for hiding things from him.

282

They seemed to be able to find excuses all the time.

283

I also like to be a normal youth

284

and have no worries, but I have no choice. I'm the Wei Emperor.

285

General Huo, do you understand why I did this?

286

I'm going to boldly infer it. May Your Majesty forgive me.

287

You have always hoped that Prince Kang will turn back.

288

Until the last moment, you were giving him another chance. I think everyone can understand that.

289

But towards Prince Regent,

290

you wanted to test his abilities.

291

A Prince Regent that can stay calm amidst the changes, able to devise a strategy despite staying far from the situation,

292

is what you have hoped for.

293

I know that the Rong Zhi today has disappointed you a lot.

294

Right. I am disappointed.

295

I am completely disappointed to both of them!

296

But Your Majesty, you forgot one important thing.

297

What did I forget?

298

You forgot familial relationship.

299

Prince Kang planned to usurp the throne.

300

He had delusions of abducting the ruler and use him to command his vassals, but didn't kill you. As for Prince Regent...

301

What about Prince Regent?

302

He has always been smart and clever,

303

but he suddenly became irrational today for the one who was hurt was you.

304

You are his closest family.

305

His unusual actions were all due to being concerned.

306

But when he arrived here and discovered that everything was just a farce,

307

it's like cold water suddenly being thrown into him. His heart getting very cold.

308

That's why, you also think that I am wrong?

309

No.

310

Your Majesty and Prince Regent are both right. You hoped that Rong Zhi will put the general situation first,

311

while Rong Zhi has given personal feelings too much importance.

312

You said it right.

313

Even if Prince Regent has so many bad traits,

314

he is still a person with affection and loyalty. I am very touched.

315

Empress Dowager, what are you really mad about?

316

Older Brother, you have really caused me great trouble.

317

- I... for you...

- Let me ask you this.

318

Peng Ge clearly has entered the palace yet he kept delaying to act

319

and just let Ma Zhongliang force me to commit suicide. Tell me, why is that so?

320

This...

321

Let me tell it to you. He was ordered by His Majesty

322

to monitor the activities of everyone in the palace.

323

Could it be that includes you?

324

The master of every palace, of course that includes me.

325

He was acting according to the circumstances and looking at who couldn't bear it and would make any move.

326

What you mean is...

327

His Majesty deliberately lured me to mobilize my private army?

328

Empress Dowager, my good little sister,

329

you must stand by the Feng family. You must not let His Majesty—

330

Older Brother!

331

Hand over the private army.

332

Are you crazy?!

333

It was because I heard that something bad has happened in the palace and feared that you will be in danger,

334

that's why, I hastily mobilized my private army.

335

I did this all for you!

336

Moreover, I it took me years to build this army.

337

Our Feng clan now only have these limited assets.

338

If we hand them all out, won't we be cutting off our arms?

339

No. We must not do that.

340

Then, you should have kept them well.

341

You should have not let His Majesty seen them forever.

342

Now that you brought them here in the palace, you still plan to hide them?

343

- You think all the people here in the palace are blind?

- Empress Dowager—

344

Just for the prosperity of the Feng clan, I entered the palace.

345

Just for state and family affairs, I would rack my brain.

346

But what about you? You did this stupid thing.

347

You exposed the Feng clan's most elite troop

348

for everyone to see.

349

Now, you're telling me that you want to protect them?

350

Let me clearly tell you too that it's too late!

351

Must I really hand them out?

352

- You can opt not to.

- Then...

353

If you refuse to hand over your private army,

354

then remove your head and deliver it to His Majesty.

355

Leave now.

356

Little Sister...

357

Leave.

358

Your Highness, calm down.

359

His Majesty really has come up with a good plan.

360

He was able to fool everyone.

361

As a mother,

362

could it be I don't know my son well?

363

What does His Majesty really want to do?

364

Now, I'm unhappy.

365

There must be someone that should be unhappier than me.

366

Let's go. Let's take a look.

367

Who is it?!

368

Imperial Consort Dowager Qi, I came to visit you.

369

Thank you for Your Highness the Empress Dowager's good intention.

370

I'm already resting.

371

Empress Dowager, it's better that you return to your palace.

372

Resting?

373

Never thought that Imperial Consort Dowager has such leisurely mood.

374

Your son is about to be cut into pieces as punishment, yet you're still being so calm here?

375

Yun'er...

376

What did you say?

377

Prince Kang's men entered the Imperial Palace and the first thing they did was to force me to commit suicide.

378

Now that you can see me safe and sound,

379

shouldn't you have an inkling on what has happened already?

380

Imperial Consort Dowager Qi, usually...

381

you speak very sharply and very harsh.

382

How come you're too quiet now?

383

You are making me a bit not used to this.

384

- Or maybe, you're afraid?

- Why must I be afraid?

385

You are full of crazy words.

386

I don't even know what you're saying.

387

Really?

388

Yes! I don't know.

389

I don't know anything.

390

Yu'er, escort the guests out.

391

Imperial Consort Dowager Qi...

392

I really never thought that

393

one day, I would see you lose your composure.

394

But don't worry.

395

I will not do anything to you.

396

I just want you to

397

personally watch your son getting punished.

398

I will let you experience the extreme pain of getting your heart stabbed so deeply.

399

Before that happens, may I ask Imperial Consort Dowager to just behave and stay here.

400

Just behave and wait for His Majesty to take care of you.

401

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

402

Your Highness!

403

With Empress Dowager saying that...

404

Prince Kang must have failed.

405

Am I right?

406

Right! He must have failed!

407

- Your Highness...

- It's over now!

408

- Your Highness...

- Everything is over now!

409

I should have known it earlier!

410

This stupid son of mine...

411

My son...

412

It's now over...

413

Everything is over!

414

Your Highness...

415

When His Majesty learns about it,

416

he surely will order...

417

the execution of us mother and child.

418

He surely will.

419

Your Highness, don't think that way. Maybe things aren't that serious yet.

420

He surely will.

421

You don't know that His Majesty may look

422

benevolent and magnanimous on the outside,

423

but deep inside he is very ruthless and heartless.

424

He and the former emperor

425

is totally the same.

426

- So scary!

- Your Highness...

427

Your Highness.

428

Your Highness, I remember.

429

Before Prince Kang left, he instructed me some words.

430

He said that, "Your Highness hasn't left Yiluan Palace tonight.

431

She totally didn't know what happened outside."

432

You don't know anything.

433

He is trying to pluck me out.

434

Thinking about it carefully, Your Highness didn't say anything tonight

435

nor did any rebellious acts.

436

His Majesty will consider how you took care of him before

437

and will surely not harm your life.

438

I can be spared,

439

but what about him?

440

What will happen to him?

441

Your Highness.

442

He will die!

443

Your Highness...

444

My silly son!

445

Your Highness...

446

Rong Zhi!

447

Rong Zhi!

448

Rong Zhi.

449

Rong Zhi, stop being sad.

450

Why must I be sad?

451

You really think that I will be sad because of His Majesty hiding things from me?

452

No. I won't at all.

453

What's going on with you? I'm confused.

454

I know His Majesty very well.

455

He used Prince Kang tonight to test all the people in Pingcheng that are beginning to stir.

456

Of course, as the Prince Regent,

457

I am also one of the top personality that he wanted to test.

458

Test?

459

If I stayed in Pingcheng tonight,

460

I fear that the next person who will lose his life

461

is me.

462

How can that be?

463

How can it not be?

464

If I stayed, it proves that I'm not concerned with His Majesty.

465

It proves that I can't wait to ascend the throne.

466

When His Majesty is in danger, a Prince Regent that is more affectionate than rational

467

is what His Majesty really wanted to see.

468

That's why, in here, the fiercer he scolded me,

469

the more it proved that he's satisfied with me.

470

Quite the opposite. If he praises me,

471

I instead will feel scared.

472

Chuyu, this is the royal family.

473

This is Tuoba Hong.

474

Do you understand now?

475

That's why, don't risk danger to save me again next time.

476

I don't want to.

477

What did you say?

478

When I face the same situation again next time, I still will come to save you.

479

Why? I already reminded you. You still are going to burrow into the trap?

480

What if it's true?!

481

Even if there is just a 1/10,000 chance, I must not let you be in danger.

482

Chuyu...

483

Do you know that I'm not that good to you like what you think?

484

I don't care.

485

Rong Zhi, I like you.

486

Even if you are too scheming, being hot or cold to me,

487

I still like you.

488

Why?

489

I don't know.

490

You don't know and you still risked danger to save me?

491

Because I feel that even if you hold power

492

and is set up on high,

493

you are also the most pitiful person in this world.

494

Prince Kang hates you. The different ministers are afraid of you.

495

Even...the emperor that you serve,

496

kept testing you.

497

I'm used to it.

498

But I'm different with them.

499

I have no expectations from you.

500

You also don't need to give me anything. I just want to treat you well everyday.

501

Treat you better. Let you be happy everyday.

502

Chuyu, thanks.

503

Thank me for what?

504

There has never been a person that told me such words. Never has been.

505

That's why, thank you.

506

Empress Dowager.

507

Imperial Consort Dowager Qi, why did you come here instead of silently repenting on your sins?

508

Of course, it is to have an audience with His Majesty.

509

Looking at how eager you are,

510

rather than saying having an audience, it's better to say that you have something to beg him.

511

Empress Dowager Feng.

512

What Prince committed is the grave crime of rebellion.

513

His Majesty not immediately executing him is already great mercy.

514

If you have the leisure time to do this, why not just carefully think instead

515

on how you can clearly pluck yourself out of this mess?

516

Whether this will be useful or not, I know how to weigh things.

517

No need for you to worry. If you are that free,

518

why not just focus on controlling Lord Feng.

519

Tell him to better stay within the proper jurisdiction of a subject.

520

Imperial Consort Dowager, please be careful of what you're saying.

521

I'm already at this point. What else will I fear?

522

For this majestic presence of yours...

523

just save it for others to see.

524

If you have the strength to get angry, why not save it to have a good cry later?

525

That might be more advantageous if you want to save him.

526

Mistresses, His Majesty was tired from travelling and just returned to the palace.

527

He is currently having a nap. You two are planning to...

528

- I must see His Majesty today!

- Eunuch.

529

Your Highnesses! Your Highnesses!

530

What are you both doing, Your Highnesses!

531

Your Majesty, I beg you to spare Prince Kang's life.

532

I know that he committed a towering crime,

533

but he is your biological older brother.

534

Imperial Consort Qi, when Prince Kang attmpted his rebellion,

535

when did he consider their sibling relationship?

536

Now that His Majesty didn't punish you too is already showing you great graces.

537

Your Majesty, Prince Kang was just instigated by Ma Zhongliang.

538

He is to be blamed. This is all Ma Zhongliang's fault!

539

If you must punish him, deposing him or exiling him

540

is fine with me.

541

I just beg you...to not kill him.

542

You are just considering the sake of your own son.

543

Have you considered His Majesty's feelings?

544

Right now, all the high ministers are submitting memorials requesting for the execution of Prince Kang.

545

You're asking His Majesty to let him go just because of your light words?

546

How are you going to let His Majesty face those furious ministers?!

547

Before, when Prince Kang was in power,

548

these ministers would fawn upon him

549

to the point of licking his feet.

550

Now that Prince Kang has fallen,

551

each of them are instead throwing stones at him.

552

Your Majesty, are you going to kill your own brother

553

just for this vile people who takes advantage of someone who's down?

554

Royal Mother, I have some words that I want to say to Imperial Consort Dowager in private.

555

Your Majesty, no matter what decision you make, I can understand.

556

But I still look forward that you can put the general situation first.

557

Eunuch Pan, you all leave too.

558

Yes.

559

Your Majesty...

560

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

561

I beg you already...

562

Forgive Prince Kang.

563

I beg you, Your Majesty!

564

Imperial Consort Dowager, we have laws.

565

Rebellion is a crime punishable by death.

566

You want me to agree to your request, but who will then help me if I do?!

567

Even if you die from kowtowing here today, I must kill him.

568

I wanted to retain your honor in front of everyone,

569

hence, I talked with you in private. Stop being stubborn.

570

Go back.

571

Do you still remember when you were 6?

572

That time, you had contracted a flu and got very sick.

573

You kept crying for your mother.

574

No one was able to make you stop crying.

575

It was me who didn't rest

576

and took care of you for a whole month.

577

That time, your older brother was only 8.

578

He wasn't noisy and didn't cause trouble.

579

He would bring the assignments that his teacher gave him to your bedside.

580

Read them to you page by page.

581

He got praised by the past Emperor during a hunt

582

and was given a white fox skin.

583

He didn't save it for himself

584

nor gave it to me, but instead made it into a white cape

585

and gave it to you.

586

He is your older brother.

587

He is a brother that has given you warmth and care.

588

Even if he committed a mistake out of a moment of rashness,

589

can't you...

590

just forgive him this time?

591

I have no reason to forgive him,

592

a reason that will be acceptable to everyone.

593

What if...

594

there is such a reason?

595

Ma Zhongliang kept insisting that Prince Kang is the mastermind.

596

A reason like that doesn't exist.

597

There is.

598

There must be one.

599

Your Majesty, if a reason like that exists,

600

will you forgive him?

601

Thank you for Your Majesty's graces.

602

Your Highness.

603

This bright color is really beautiful.

604

Your Highness.

605

Leave now.

606

Yes.

607

Your Highness, based on laws, Prince Kang should have been executed for attempting to revolt.

608

But His Majesty kept delaying the sentence.

609

Your Highness should immediately submit a report to press on this matter.

610

Your Highness and Prince Kang have an uncle and nephew relationship.

611

He should instead ask His Majesty to lessen the sentence.

612

- This way, it can show how benevolent Prince Regent is.

- But in eliminating trouble, you should pull it out from the roots.

613

When Prince Kang made his move in Xishan, he never considered any uncle-nephew relationship.

614

Only once he's dead can we forever have no future trouble.

615

If His Highness will follow your advice in submitting his memorial to His Majesty, at the very least, he'll be accused of

616

throwing stones in someone who's already down and cruelly harming a relative.

617

Ministers, stop arguing. For this matter, His Highness has already made his decision.

618

Please go back.

619

Your Highness, what they said was right too.

620

You also should make a decision soon.

621

Your Highness! There's been a mishap at the palace!
