[Episode 67]

Who exactly are you people?

You’re a covert guard from the Wang Clan?

Speak. What is it?

The old master has a message for the empress dowager.

- Old master? - That is correct.

He is Prince Jiangxia’s father and the empress dowager’s elder brother.

I am referring to the Duke of Zhenguo, the previous prime minister.

Who are you trying to fool?

Indeed, the old master is still alive and he is also in the capital.

Then... What message does the old master wish to relay to the empress dowager?

The old master wishes to tell the empress dowager

that her imperial grandson Jing’er is being raised by him at the moment.

Is that true?

- Come! - Yes.

Jing’er!

Jing’er... Jing’er.

Did that really happen?

I am absolutely sure!

I never thought elder brother would still be alive

and that he would lay out such an audacious plan.

- And Jing’er is safe and sound. - Yes, Your Majesty.

As long as he’s safe and sound, as long as he’s safe and sound.

The Duke of Zhenguo’s terms and conditions requires Your Majesty to be his planted spy in the palace

and he requires your help in opening the palace gates for him tomorrow.

How should I reply him?

I will certainly lend him a helping hand as long as he’s willing to assist Jing’er in ascending the throne.

This servant understands.

I never thought that us siblings of the Wang Clan would still be able to join hands

and transform heaven and earth at the last moment.

Prime Minister.

Prime Minister?

Greetings, Prime Minister.

Count Suyi, you’ve arrived.

Prime Minister,

dare I ask for whom is this imperial robe prepared?

It’s for him.

Prime Minister, you must be joking.

Then, Count Suyi, what is your opinion?

What is my opinion?

Do you wish to have your name recorded in my clan registry and be my adopted son,

or do you wish to keep your family name and remain as Count Suyi?

I will obey all of your assignations.

All right.

You may go ahead and make all the arrangements.

The plans for tomorrow must go off without a hitch.

Wang’an!

Old Master.

Wang’an, you’ve been by my side for the last 40 years.

I am going to entrust a particular matter to you.

I will only feel at ease knowing you are the one taking care of it.

Old Master, please relay your instructions.

This child is intelligent and quick-witted. He has won my heart.

But tomorrow will be the day we transition to a new era.

Not a single person from the Ma family must be spared.

So how should they be dealt with?

I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn’t come up with a plan.

I think it would be best if you handled matters on my behalf.

Jing’er must not be spared.

Do you understand?

I understand.

- Have you all understood? - Yes, sir!

We will leave the city this very night.

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Huai’en, where are you going?

- I’m going to the army barracks. - Don’t go!

What’s the matter with you?

The capital has been in a state of chaos recently.

I’m afraid something will happen to you.

Can’t you stay here instead?

It is precisely because the capital is in a state of chaos

that I am bringing my troops to assuage the situation.

Aren’t I right to do so?

Huai’en! I don’t know what you plan to do,

but I feel something ominous is about to happen.

Can’t you not go?

Can’t you just... Remain at home and accompany me and our child?

Can’t you do that instead?

I’m begging you.

I’m frightened.

Accompany you and our child?

Don’t go!

- Let go. - I’m not letting go.

- Let go. - I’m not letting go! - Let go! - I’m not letting go!

Song Huai’en!

Keep a close watch on madam.

Yes, Count Suyi.

Princess Consort!

Yuxiu has just sent her personal maid here with a report.

She said Song Huai’en brought numerous trusted aides and generals with him and left the capital this very night.

Song Huai’en... Has finally shown his true colours.

Princess Consort, as you expected, Song Huai’en is already leading the military camps around the capital

and heading towards the capital.

Hand this to General Wei Han.

Tell him to assemble his troop.

Princess Consort, what should we do next?

Enter the palace.

Yes.

Old Patriarch, it’s my fault.

I didn’t take proper care of Little Prince.

Old Patriarch, we can’t find him.

Dispatch more men. We must find Jing’er.

Yes.

Also, Duke Suyi is ready for actions.

He asked whether he should act in accordance.

Tell him to act in accordance.

- Yes. - Also,

Also, summon all the men of sacrifice of the Wang clan

to wait for the assignment at any time.

I understand.

- Wang’an, get up. - Thank you, Old Patriarch.

I want you to use the name of Prince Jiangxia

to invite Wen Zongshen and the other officials

to come here to discuss important matters.

- Here? - Yes. Here.

We just ended our court session and Prince Jiangxia invited us to be here.

What’s the meaning of this?

Prime Minister Wen is here.

Prime Minister Wen.

Prime Minister, Marquis Wei, Marquis Zhao, Secretariat Minister Gu.

Our Patriarch is waiting for you.

Princess Consort, Empress Dowager just took her medicine and is already asleep.

She can’t be disturbed at this moment.

- Princess Consort. - The capital is in chaos.

Aunt, how can you still sleep?

I’m old. I can’t manage this anymore.

It’s not that you can’t manage. You are deliberately doing this.

Did Older Brother come to see you?

He wants to use Jing’er as a condition in exchange for your support, right?

What is he doing?

Why did Prince Jiangxia invite us to such a shabby place to discuss important matters?

I’m curious too.

He even left us here for such a long period of time.

What is he trying to do?

Is anyone here?

Is anyone here?

What kind of place is this?

This-this-

I, Wang Lin, climbed out from the coffin in the tomb.

Is he a human or ghost?

Everyone, don’t panic.

The Wang clan has a hundred year foundation.

How could it disappear that easily?

He’s indeed alive.

A centipede dies but never falls down. [T/N : Old institutions die hard]

Not only are you alive,

you could even shift the ground while you are in the capital.

I was entrusted by the late Emperor

to do my best in completing his task.

From what I know, you opposed the late Emperor.

It wasn’t opposition. It was coercion.

The late Emperor was my nephew. He failed to rule the country.

As his uncle, should I just close one eye?

Stop saying all those noble and high-sounding words.

If Prince Yuzhang didn’t plead for mercy in front of the late Emperor,

you would have been beheaded.

What you saw may not be the truth.

What’s the truth?

The truth is, before the late Emperor passed away,

he left me a secret edict with me.

Secret edict?

Everyone, take a good look.

Aunt,

if my guess is right, you wanted to join forces with my older brother

to order Song Huai’en to lead the army to force the palace

to depose Zitan and crown Jing’er as the Emperor.

After that, you both will take on the role as the regent.

Zitan has already lost the hearts of the people.

He already doesn’t has the rights to sit on the throne.

Do you think they will sincerely support Jing’er?

“I have been harmed by a villain and do not have long to live.”

“I am afraid of the current political climate which is changing in the imperial court.”

“Therefore, I have ordered Wang Lin to return to the imperial court and undertake this burden which plagues the whole realm.”

This... This, this...

What?

Wang Lin, I’ve always known you were a shameless scoundrel.

But I never thought you would be shameless to such a degree.

You’d go so far as to carry out this despicable act all for the sake of forging the late emperor’s secret edict!

Everyone, please look carefully.

Do any of you think that the imperial jade seal on that secret edict

can be easily forged?

He’s right.

It is the original imperial jade seal.

The little prince is still so young.

If the late emperor had not handed the whole realm to me, would he have been at peace?

Wang Lin, those graceful words and flowery speech

might deceive all the people in the world, but they will never deceive me.

This current emperor was placed on the throne with your support

and it is also your desire to protect him with all your strength.

But I want each and every one of you to ask yourselves honestly. At this moment,

should Zitan be allowed to run amok,

or should I be allowed back in so that the nation can be restructured?

Wang Lin! I, Wen Zongshen, distrust you with all my heart!

Let’s go, let’s go!

What are you doing? This–!

Wang Lin! You...!

Prime Minister Wen, if you must know, this is also the desire of the empress dowager.

- The empress dowager? - The empress dowager? - The empress dowager?

Reporting to Old Master. Count Suyi has already led the main forces into the city.

He is already on his way to the imperial palace.

- This...! - What are we going to do?

All of the army barracks in the capital and its surrounding areas and all of the defence troops

are in the palm of my hand.

Everyone, please think carefully.

Are you all still bent on being loyal to that

incapable ruler who murdered his elder brother in order to seize the throne?

If you are willing to follow my path,

you can still be credited with supporting the new emperor.

You...

The entire Gu Clan is willing to follow the Old Prime Minister blindly!

I am willing to obey your orders!

I am willing to follow your orders!

I am willing to obey your orders!

Prime Minister Wen, it doesn’t matter if you wish to be enemies with me.

But are you also going to be enemies with the late emperor and the empress dowager?

It doesn’t matter if you disbelieve me,

but you would certainly believe the capital’s current state of affairs, wouldn’t you?

After all, only a wise man submits to his circumstances.

Lord Wen, look.

The prime minister said the empress dowager has been planted as his spy.

So why haven’t the city gates been opened yet?

General, what should we do if the city gates remain closed?

Empress Dowager?

Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, I have already instructed the palace gates to be opened

as per our agreement with the prime minister.

I want you to go and make further discreet inquiries.

You may report back to me anytime.

I understand.

You and I will split the army and each lead a troop.

You will take your troops to Xuanhua Gate and enter the capital once you’ve received Hu Yao’s secret message.

You will be provided with support there. I’m leaving the surrounding enemy troops to you.

The others will follow me through the secret passages into the imperial palace.

Yes, Your Highness.

Prime Minister Wen!

[Guangyang Gate]

Greetings, Prime Minister Wen. Prime Minister, you are a civilian court official,

so it would be better if you left this situation to me.

Our nation is undergoing a calamity.

What does it matter if I’m a civilian court official or a military official?

You and I will fight against them shoulder to shoulder

and I will die with no regrets.

That’s right!

You may be rest assured, Prime Minister Wen.

Even if I, Wei Han am smashed to pieces,

I will never allow the enemy troops to take even one step into the imperial city!

Good!

Reporting to the Empress Dowager! The Old Prime Minister is leading the cavalry from the capital and its surrounding areas and they’ve already assembled at Cheng’en Gate.

He’s even brought the little prince, Jing’er,

and is about to attack the city!

Quickly, tell them to open the city gates.

Yes, Your Majesty.

- Nanny Gui. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Help me make myself presentable.

I, this old bag of bones, have finally persevered till today.

I will put on my court dress once more and welcome my grandson!

All right.

Report!

General! It is as the princess consort said. We actually

arrested a nanny and a few eunuchs in the city. They were attempting to secretly open the city gates.

It is rumoured that they are old servants from Yong’an Palace.

Could it be that the empress dowager and Wang Lin have joined hands and are colluding with each other?

What’s so strange about that?

Which matter has not been the responsibility of the Wang Clan whether it be an internal one or an external one?

It matters not! There must be a conclusion to it all by the end of today!

Prepare to attack the city!

Prepare yourselves!

Huai’en, Huai’en

General, it’s madam!

What are you doing? What are you doing?

Why is she here?

Are you trying to become the world’s most reviled traitor?

Yu Xiu, This world you don’t understand, quickly go

Yes, Yu Xiu doesn’t understand

I don’t understand why you’d give up being Count Suyi

and betray the imperial court, His Highness and Her Highness!

Huai’en,

we’ve come all this way from Ningshuo. Didn’t you narrowly escape death

so we could all bask in peace?

Why do you want to destroy this home that you’ve protected for so long?

Huai’en, we both came from impoverished backgrounds.

You should be content with what you’ve already been bestowed with.

I’m pleading with you. Please withdraw your troops, all right? I’m begging you to withdraw your troops!

If you withdraw your troops and leave this place, I will plead with Her Highness

on your behalf and beg forgiveness from the emperor.

They are bound to spare you from the death sentence on account of your many years of service in the army.

They will definitely give you a way out of this!

But if they still refuse...

I, Xiao Yuxiu, will follow you wherever you go,

even if it’s to the Kingdom of the Underworld!

Withdraw your troops!

Our child and I still need you.

Husband! Come home!

There’s no way out for me anymore. There’s no way out for me anymore.

Yuxiu! Move back!

If you persist,

just let me die, to let you see.

Attack the city!

Release arrows, release arrows.

Release arrows, release.

Protect Prime Minister quickly.

Protect Prime Minister.

Pledge your lives to defend Great Cheng!

Release the arrows! Continuing releasing the arrows!

Release arrows.

Your Majesty, you must go with me right now.

The capital has already been surrounded. Where else am I supposed to go?

I have a idea to run outside

I am Great Cheng’s Emperor.

I must defend the nation.

I will not be the ruler of a subjugated nation.

Only by you living so there’s a chance

Princess Consort, time isn’t much quickly go

A’Wu.

Your Majesty, quickly go.

Quick, this way.

Keep up!

- Search thoroughly! - Yes!

We’re in trouble. There are people in the underground passages.

Go

Your Majesty

Emperor Your Majesty, go

Go

Princess Consort, You must go We will wait here

Let’s go to Taiji Hall.

Put sword down, I don’t want to hurt you

Song Huai’en, you traitor!

I want kill you!

I saw him.

He came back.

Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager

- Empress Dowager. - Jing’er...

My Long’er

Empress Dowager.

Be careful

Jing’er, You came back

I saw you

Jing’er, my wonderful grandson.

You have to be a good Emperor

Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager!

Long’er... I am coming to meet you.

Empress Dowager!

Empress Dowager...

Perhaps it’s my last day to be Emperor

Don’t want to lost the Emperor’s throne
