Episode 51

16

Xiao Daocheng! Why did you really come here?

17

Do you really believe that he attacked Wei because you suffered unfair treatment?

18

Do you really also believe that you were married off to Wei before to maintain peace between Song and Wei?

19

I admit that Wei agreed to the Wei-Song marriage alliance as just a strategy of convenience.

20

But how is Liu Song any different!

21

On one side, marrying you off to me. But on the other, expanding their army and preparing for war.

22

Chuyu, open your eyes and look clearly.

23

The person beside Xiao Daocheng is that Sima Jun who previously framed you.

24

He personally handed the letter to Huo Xuan, because he wanted to use her hand

25

to kill you, and then incite the war between Wei and Song!

26

Absurd! I don't believe it.

27

You have always lied to me. I don't believe you!

28

Whether it's absurd or not, you ask him yourself.

29

Xiao Daocheng, let me ask you!

30

You have always treated me as a pawn, am I right?

31

Answer me!

32

Is the attack of Song this time a plot that have started since the time of the marriage alliance?

33

General Xiao, since the matter has come to this,

34

let's stop being hypocritical. Let's just settle the real score on the battlefield.

35

Prince Regent, immediately open the gates!

36

Or else, our Song army

37

will charge through your city gates, and kill all your citizens!

38

Royal Uncle, where is Tian Rujing?

39

He went to Yunjin Mountain to pray to the deities in seclusion.

40

Even if he is around, he will also agree to this marriage alliance.

41

Chuyu, I clearly know in my heart

42

that Wei has wild ambitions.

43

That this marriage alliance won't be able to ensure enternal peace.

44

But sacrificing you can give the citizens a peaceful and happy life.

45

Allow us to recuperate, and prepare for the next battle. Even if I can't bear to part with you,

46

I can only choose to do so.

47

Okay. I agree with your request.

48

General Xiao, are you sure that with just these people,

49

you can already conquer Wei?

50

I know that the army in your Pingcheng

51

are elite soldiers that you yourself trained.

52

But that's fine.

53

Today, I brought an ally!

54

Ally?

55

Huo Chao? Are you crazy!

56

You actually dare to help the Liu Song Army? That's mutiny!

57

Mutiny?

58

Didn't your Emperor already say that our main commander is a rebel?

59

We are doing this just to get back our dignity!

60

What are you planning to do?

61

The misfortunes of the Huo family were all created by the Imperial Family.

62

The mastermind behind it is Your Highness the Prince Regent!

63

If you kill yourself in front of everyone,

64

I will immediately withdraw my army!

65

Or else, I will conquer your city

66

with the Liu Song people, and will be able to kill you too!

67

- Preposterous!

- Since Your Highness the Prince Regent

68

can't bear to lose your head, don't blame us from using violence then!

69

You are bullying people intolerably.

70

Your Highness, please allow me to go out the city and cut off Huo Chao's head.

71

No. The Huo army is Huo Xuan's. No one is allowed to touch them.

72

But General Huo isn't here.

73

She will come.

74

Attack!

75

Attack the city!

76

Stop!

77

- Xuan'er!

- Huo Xuan!

78

Xuan'er! Xuan'er!

79

Xuan'er, are you alright?

80

Get up.

81

Are you alright?

82

Have you all forgotten what I've said?

83

The Huo Army's main duty is to defend the country and protect its citizens.

84

Yet you actually allied with the Song people to attack our city?

85

I'm doing this

86

just to seek justice for you.

87

Have you forgotten that there was first Rong Zhi

88

who disregarded his promise, and then a Tuoba Hong after who broke faith and abandoned the right?

89

Not only that,

90

you willingly handed over your military power, yet they still didn't believe you.

91

They even asked Peng Ge to kill you, to forever eliminate a potential problem.

92

For an Imperial clan and government like that,

93

why must you still throw your life in for them?

94

Xuan'er, what Old General Huo said is right.

95

You shouldn't risk your life for them anymore.

96

The thing that I loyally serve has never been Great Wei's Imperial clan,

97

but the Wei citizens who doesn't even have an inch of steel with them,

98

my own conscience and duty.

99

I like watching the adorable smiling face of children.

100

I like seeing the citizens living in peace and bliss.

101

I am working hard for everything that I like.

102

Even if the people who I once protected

103

and trusted betrayed me,

104

it will never be able to change my initial intention,

105

because I never bathed in blood and fought valiantly just to get gratitude.

106

Moreover, I am also not stupid.

107

I will never become a pawn of the enemy!

108

Pawn?

109

What do you mean?

110

Xuan'er!

111

Gu Huan, are you still going to lie to me until now?

112

Xuan'er, I don't know what you're saying.

113

You don't know?

114

Why did Peng Ge suddenly grow wild?

115

His symptoms was very similar to the Liu Song envoy that became crazy, and killed people.

116

When I got hurt, you were the first one to rush there,

117

and had Peng Ge killed.

118

Afterwards, you instigated the Huo Army to rebel.

119

All of these were pre-planned by you!

120

Who really are you?

121

If you were sincere to me by even a bit,

122

please tell me who you are.

123

I was ordered by the Prince Regent to kill the rebels, and lead the army to save His Majesty.

124

Impossible!

125

The Prince Regent is far away, on the border. He doesn't know anything. How could he...

126

What are you laughing about? Are you crazy?

127

Your choice is right.

128

Rong Zhi is the most perfect Prince Regent. Cold. Ruthless.

129

But it is very obvious

130

that he also placed his man in your Longlin Army.

131

He is indeed the Prince Regent.

132

I thought he already lost his composure.

133

Never thought that he still has a backup plan.

134

Men! Take her away!

135

Tuoba Hong, I can't accept this! I can't!

136

Tuoba Hong!

137

Tuoba Yun, you want to kill me, yet you also saved me. Aren't you conflicted by your actions?

138

How can the Emperor of my Great Wei

139

be stupid enough to die in the hands of a woman?

140

What a pity I can't personally kill you.

141

Since that's the case, I'll give you a chance to duel with me.

142

Libation

143

So what if you've defeated me?

144

Sitting on that Imperial throne that's drenched with blood is like sitting on a pillow of needles.

145

Every person that you killed will become your nightmare.

146

Sitting on that cold chair will never give you any peaceful days.

147

One day...

148

you will understand...

149

All of this...

150

has ended.

151

It was you who informed Huo Xuan.

152

Yes.

153

You knew that Song will be attacking the city.

154

That's why you rushed all the way here, not for me.

155

It was to gather the army, and set up the city defense.

156

I did it for Great Wei, and also you.

157

Me... Huo Xuan... Tuoba Hong...

158

All the court ministers and Pingcheng, all the citizens,

159

got fooled by you.

160

For the past days, you pretended to be a Prince Regent that's lovesick.

161

You let everyone lower their guard, but what is your real motive?

162

It is to capture them all with just one net?

163

Rong Zhi...you are the one who has planned everything carefully without missing anything.

164

When you left Pingcheng, my heart burned with anxiety.

165

No matter if you believe it or not, I'm telling the truth.

166

Stop lying to me!

167

Have you not lied enough?

168

The person who fooled us is someone else.

169

Huo Xuan, the Tianji Pavilion has been destroyed by me. The true identity of Gu Huan

170

is the real Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion. Immediately rush to Pingcheng. Rong Zhi.

171

Gu Huan, you are the real Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion.

172

That person who died in the Liu Song military camp

173

was just a substitute, right?

174

That's right.

175

I am the Tianji Pavilion's true Pavilion Master.

176

You Liu Song criminal, you dared to use us?

177

- Men! Capture him!

- Yes!

178

All of you, don't move!

179

Stop!

180

If you dare hurt Huo Xuan, I'll let you die without a full corpse!

181

Why must you do this?

182

Marriage alliance?

183

That's right. Use Liu Chuyu's body in exchange for an opportunity to obtain Wei.

184

In the future, after conquering Pingcheng to wash off the embarrassment we experienced in Jizhou,

185

the main power in the government will soon be in your hands.

186

But Liu Chuyu—

187

Indecision will

188

invariable lead to trouble. If you're too kind like a woman,

189

how can you do great things?

190

The Liu Clan was too tyrannical, and their fate to be in power has ended.

191

The Tianji Pavilion worked painstakingly to plan things just to choose a new wise leader

192

that can go against Northern Wei, and placate the citizens.

193

Lord Xiao, once you've obtained and replaced the Liu clan,

194

don't forget your past promise.

195

Xuan'er...

196

sorry.

197

The Northern Wei's power is vast.

198

They have long developed the desire to conquer the world.

199

I'm doing this just to impede the Wei army,

200

to help the world choose a wise king.

201

You're lying.

202

The citizens of the world?

203

Gu Huan, look around. Your righteous-sounding reason of saving the citizens

204

has caused how many deaths?

205

What the Tianji Pavilion wants

206

is the scalding hot position of being the right hand man of the Emperor, the glory of being above everyone else?

207

The only things that your actions have brought Wei and Song are fresh blood and massacre.

208

Gu Huan!

209

Don't you still know to repent on your misdeeds?

210

Tell me then.

211

Could it be that in your heart...

212

even I was just a pawn?

213

No.

214

Maybe I was indeed using you before.

215

But now...in my heart, you're not a pawn.

216

You are my wife.

217

I have never thought of hurting you.

218

Even more so, I didn't expect...

219

that we would lose our child.

220

Gu Huan,

221

let me ask you.

222

Have you loved me?

223

Do you still remember your promise to me?

224

I'm making an oath here that

225

if there is a next life,

226

Huo Xuan and I...

227

will be husband and wife...

228

for eternity.

229

Xuan'er...

230

I love you.

231

But I can't forgive you.

232

Even if the entire Wei Empire betrayed me,

233

this is the place that I've once used my blood to protect.

234

You brought the Wei that I love the most and its citizens harm.

235

You then must pay with your blood.

236

Xuan'er, I won't blame you.

237

But I can't bear to part with you.

238

Huo Xuan!

239

Xuan'er...

240

Xuan'er...

241

I'm making an oath here that if I get reincarnated,

242

Huo Xuan and I will be husband and wife for all eternity.

243

Gu Huan...

244

I love you.

246

Song used a woman in exchange for peace.

247

I thought that I was so mighty.

248

But Imperial Uncle was just lying to me all this time.

249

Huo Xuan thought that she has found the right man,

250

but she ended up in such a state.

251

It was because Gu Huan lied to her.

252

And you...

253

the outstanding Prince Regent.

254

At that moment that you caught up with us,

255

I really wavered.

256

I can't bear to leave Pingcheng.

257

But in the end, I discovered that it's another scam.

258

All the great things in the world

259

was actually created by piling up the tears of women, and the flesh and blood of the citizens!

260

Such a joke... It's really such a funny joke...

261

Chuyu, I never thought of lying to you.

262

You have always been lying to me.

263

But I still was unwilling to believe it.

264

I'm really so stupid! I'm so stupid!

265

Huo Xuan was wise all her life, but got muddled for a moment.

266

Get lost!

267

Chuyu!

268

Reinforce the army! Reinforce the army!

269

All soldiers, listen up! Immediately gather in front of the city gates!

270

Prepare to attack!

271

Let go of me!

272

Your Highness, we need you to take charge of the battle situation.

273

The Song Army is about to break the city gates.

274

Protect her well. If she loses even a hair, you will answer for it.

275

Yes.

276

Charge!

277

Charge!

278

Kill them!

279

Qingyue, are you crazy?!

280

Princess, hurry and go!

281

Men! Take her away.

282

Move.

283

Don't hurt her!

284

Just continue walking down this direction, it will be Song soon.

285

Once we reach Song, you'll be safe.

286

Rong Zhi will surely not let you off.

287

That's why, let's just think of a way once we reach Song.

288

Tian Rujing! Tian Rujing! What's wrong?

289

Go back to Song. Hurry and go back to Song.

290

How come it's like this?

291

Just you wait. I'll go back to Song and find you a doctor.

292

Chuyu. It's too late...

293

Sorry.

294

Tian Rujing...

295

I brought you harm.

296

You clearly was a blue-blooded royalty,

297

but you almost became a sacrifice of politics.

298

If we're going to talk about bringing harm, it should be me who brought you harm.

299

I once gave conditions to force you to kill Rong Zhi. I'm very sorry.

300

It's not my intention to hurt

301

the innocent you.

302

I don't blame you.

303

I really don't blame you.

304

What mandate of heaven? All are man-made.

305

The Tianji Pavilion claims to support the morals of time and assist the right and wise king.

306

But in reality, it only incited wars and killed innocent people.

307

All these were becuase of the wild ambition of my Teacher Uncle.

308

The one that instigated war wasn't the greedy wolf nor the seven death. It's his lust for power.

309

Stop saying it.

310

Don't say it anymore.

311

Princess...

312

promise me. Don't return to Rong Zhi's side.

313

This government deal has ended.

314

Men.

315

Here.

316

Bury them together.

317

Yes.

318

The sword that she loved to use when she was alive and that armor,

319

bury them with her too.

320

I will abide.

321

It's all that bastard Gu Huan's fault!

322

You are her Third Uncle, yet you didn't understand her.

323

You think that she killed herself because of Gu Huan?

324

No. It's not.

325

She isn't a woman that will live for love.

326

The Hou Army rebelled.

327

She's using her death to remind me that I wronged her,

328

to pay for your crime, to beg for mercy in your army's behalf.

329

At the moment that Gu Huan betrayed,

330

in her heart, he already didn't exist.

331

She publicly said all those words to prevent you all from feeling guilty.

332

This time, I'll let you all go.

333

You all better shape up.

334

335

Your Highness! Princess Consort, she...

336

What happened to Chuyu?!

337

Say it!

338

Supreme Audience Hall

339

The Wei Army is moving with an irresistible force!

340

They have successively conquered 10 of our cities!

341

If this continues, in less than a month,

342

they will be attacking Jiankang!

343

Now, I'm asking you all to think of way. Did all your brains turn to flour paste

344

or your tongues got shit on them?!

345

Informing Your Majesty, I have returned.

346

You even know to return?!

347

It's because I believed your slanderous words...

348

that's why, Northern Wei is now flying into a rage!

349

- I admit my mistake.

- Men! Behead him!

350

Give it to Northern Wei as an apology gift!

351

Your Majesty, even if you kill me,

352

you won't be able to pacify the anger of Northern Wei!

353

The only thing we can do now is to attack the problem at two angles at the same time to resolve the it.

354

What attacking the problem at two angles?

355

The one leading the army this time,

356

that Northern Wei Prince Regent isn't really a true member of the imperial clan.

357

If at this time, someone will spread a rumor in Pingcheng,

358

saying that he commanded the army to march south for treacherous intentions...

359

That's not bad. Continue!

360

At the same time, we can send an envoy to do a peace negotiation.

361

You think I didn't think of that?! But Nortern Wei is unwilling!

362

There is one person that can change this desperate tide.

363

Who?

364

Princess Shanyin, Liu Chuyu.

365

Greetings, Princess.

366

Chuyu!

367

You're finally back.

368

Song and Wei are at war.

369

I was so afraid that Northern Wei will vent their anger on you.

370

- I have been worried about you.

- Really?

371

Of course. I repeatedly instructed

372

General Xiao to bring you back safely no matter what happens.

373

Imperial Uncle, just be frank with me. Stop beating around the bush.

374

It's just that right now, we've angered

375

Wei. This Prince Regent has led an army

376

and successively conquered 10 of our cities.

377

He immediately will reach Jiankang.

378

So?

379

Chuyu, you two are husband and wife after all.

380

As long as you're willing to intercede,

381

I believe that Wei will surely agree to a peace negotiation.

382

That's why, Imperial Uncle hopes that I sacrifice myself again?

383

Chuyu, this isn't for me.

384

Do you want to just watch as the citizens

385

become destitute and homeless, their home and family getting broken up? Watching as Wei

386

trample at our Song territories?

387

Chuyu, this is also your home.

388

Your Song.

389

Imperial Uncle, look carefully at my face.

390

This...

391

Is the word 'idiot' written on it?!

392

Will I get repeatedly fooled by you?!

393

You have put too much importance on me. Rong Zhi will never withdraw his army.

394

Just wait for the iron cavalry of Wei to trample on and destroy Jiankang then kill you before we talk again.

395

I'll then take your head first

396

and hang it at the front line...

397

Your Majesty.

398

Chuyu, I know that you're blaming me.

399

But it's fine. For Song's citizens,

400

you will agree.

401

Take her away.

402

Princess, the surrounding is a bit crude and simple. Please bear with it.

403

But don't worry. Prince Regent will be here soon.

404

Rong Zhi agreed to a peace negotiation?

405

Of course. I said before that as long as you're willing,

406

Prince Regent will surely agree to it.

407

Xiao Daocheng, before, you were a zither player who thinks of himself as high and pure.

408

But after several years of tempering yourself,

409

you actually have become a successful politician.

410

It really show how tempting power can be.

411

Your initial plan upon bringing me here is,

412

if Rong Zhi agrees to a peace negotiation, you will then push the boat along the current. (go along with it)

413

If he disagrees,

414

you'll kill me to frame the Wei people and incite the wrath of the Song people. Am I right?

415

Princess, you kept saying that you're very dumb.

416

But in reality, you are not dumb at all.

417

I'm just a normal person.

418

I unluckily have to live among a group of intelligent people.

419

This is so painful.

420

Princess, you're kidding me.

421

You belittled your position in Prince Regent's heart.

422

The Wei successively achieved victory. There force is irresistible.

423

I asked that we have the peace negotiations at an area 10 li away from Pengcheng and his guards mustn't be more than a hundred.

424

With harsh conditions like that, he actually agreed with them.

425

It shows that Prince Regent is indeed

426

deeply devoted to Princess.

427

Is this a real peace negotiation or a false one?!

428

Princess, you don't need to worry about that.

429

You will soon attain freedom.

430

Your Highness, the Song could have come to Pengcheng to have the peace negotiations.

431

You don't really need to agree with their conditions.

432

Chuyu is in their hands. The so-called peace negotiations of the Song

433

is to use her life as blackmail.

434

Your Highness, I'm worried about your safety.

435

She's my wife.

436

Stay at Pengcheng. Without any dispatch command, you must not act without permission.

437

Your Highness! Your Highness!

438

Chuyu!

439

Rong Zhi! Don't come here!

440

After him!

441

Let go of me. I'll escape on my own.

442

I'll only let go once I die!

443

Let go! Let go of me!

444

Prince Regent, are you now starting to use the 'pity me for I'm hurt' tactic?

445

You clearly know that it's a trap, yet you still endangered yourself.

446

Are you forcing me to grow lenient and forgive you?

447

I just want to protect you.

448

Wait.

449

They are over there! After them!

450

Rong Zhi.

451

Rong Zhi! Rong Zhi!

452

Wake up.

453

I heard that the force of this Prince Regent was unstoppable.

454

He was able to conquer 10 cities of Liu Song.

455

By the looks of it, he will soon attack Jiankang.

456

If Prince Regent is able to indeed attack Jiankang in the the future, then isn't that already reaching the highest enlightenment—

457

Shut up!

458

Your Majesty, have mercy...

459

Drag them away and flog to death.

460

Have mercy, Your Majesty!

461

Your Majesty, spare us!

462

Your Majesty! Forgive us, Your Majesty!

463

Your Majesty, please don't get angry because of those insensible servants.

464

Be careful of harming your health.

465

Even those two insensible servants know that Rong Zhi has achieved so many military achievements and has long have a disloyal heart.

466

It shows that the whole Wei knows about this!

467

Rong Zhi...

468

You actually had power to suppress the whole Wei now. Your power has actually grown up to this much.

469

Your Majesty, everything that Prince Regent did

470

was for Wei.

471

Really?

472

He was able to bribe my Longlin Army without even batting an eyelid.

473

He was able to conquer 10 cities of Song without using even a soldier of the Huo Army!

474

What else about him do I now know?

475

- What else?!

- Your Majesty!

476

Hope the Heaven can bless His Majesty

477

good health and life as long as the clouds.

478

I am willing to lose 10 years of my life to pray for blessing for Hong'er.

479

Your Majesty!

480

Imperial Mother!

481

Hong'er!

482

Why did Your Majesty come to my place?

483

Imperial Mother, I miss you.

484

Hong'er...

485

Imperial Mother, Prince Regent has won another battle.

486

That's a good thing.

487

I should be happy for Uncle winning the battle.

488

But if he really is able to conquer Jiankang with just one stroke,

489

establish a merit that's beyond this world, his prestige will then surpass me.

490

For the past days, there are already rumors in Pingcheng

491

that the ruler is weak and his subject is stronger, that Wei is in trouble.

492

Your Majesty, aren't you just overthinking?

493

No. I am not.

494

Prince Kang and me are biological brothers, yet he still betrayed me.

495

The more Prince Regent can do it.

496

He is a ferocious tiger that has escaped out of his cage.

497

One day, he will choose to eat me.

498

No, he won't. He won't, Hong'er.

499

Imperial Mother, please help me.

500

You must help me!

501

Your Majesty, hurry and get up.

502

Of course, I will help you. Hurry and get up.

503

How do you want me to help you?

504

I've sent 3 imperial decrees requesting him to immediately withdraw his army.

505

But Prince Regent kept ignoring them! I am out of ideas!

506

But you're his only blood relative left in this world.

507

As long as you say it, he surely will listen.

508

Okay... I promise you.

509

Not only that, Prince Regent can't be allowed to live.
