Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Emperor’s Conquests@ Viki.com

This might be the last day I reign as emperor.

I do not wish to lose the majestic presence of an emperor.

A’Wu,

I want you to promise me this.

If that perilous moment comes for me...

I will need your help to conclude matters.

I do not want to end up in the hands of those traitors,

neither do I wish to die in a humiliating manner.

I will retain the dignity of an emperor

even if I must become the ruler of a vanquished nation.

Promise me, all right?

This is my final decree.

I managed to reach this place without much effort

thanks to that secret passageway.

Princess Consort, please come down from there.

I will not harm you.

Song Huai’en, do you know what you are doing?

Do not forget your status!

You are Count Suyi of Great Cheng!

So what if I am?

Xiao Qi is still Prince Yuzhang of Great Cheng.

Even he was able to bring his troops to the hall

and wave his sword in the presence of the emperor.

But Xiao Qi and I are different.

His sword only struck the dragon’s throne,

but my sword

will strike your throat.

What impudence!

You’ve already turned into someone else’s pawn!

Actually, I too know how to play chess.

Tell me,

who is the mastermind controlling you from the back?

Wang Lin?

Wang Lin, you old traitor!

You are extremely treacherous and murderous.

I am going to kill you!

I will kill you!

You old traitor!

Are you real or are you a ghost?

A’Wu, I am your father.

I am still alive.

I never died.

The whole time, I have been waiting for this day to arrive.

What happened exactly?

I did not mean to keep this a secret from you.

However, I had no choice but to keep you in the dark for the sake of the great cause.

Fortunately, everything will come to an end soon.

No. I should say, everything will begin anew once more.

It matters not if you’re human or a ghost.

You do not belong on that throne.

Zitan has already agreed to abdicate the throne in favour of Jing’er.

Jing’er is also an imperial descendant.

Our Wang Clan from Langya

has been supporting and assisting the Imperial Ma Clan for more than 100 years.

But at present, no one is willing to endure this responsibility.

Zitan has completely lost the peoples’ confidence and Jing’er is still being fed at the breast.

I cannot be at peace if the nation is left to them.

Come, A’Wu.

Come here.

Come stand next to your father.

Come.

Father.

You already made mistake once before.

You can’t make mistake again.

No.

I didn’t make mistake.

I just failed once.

This time I won’t let go.

Father,

Overthrow the government everyone can imitate.

How can world peace be achieved?

Get up.

Princess Consort!

Can you still remember?

How did my mother die tragically?

You want that happen again?

A’Wu.

A’Wu, what are you trying to do?

By you doing this,

what are you trying to protect?

What am I trying to protect?

What I am trying to protect

It’s not the throne behind you.

It’s what you teach us since we were kids

Loyalty, filial piety and integrity.

A’Wu, A’Wu, put the sword down.

A’Wu, don’t force me.

I have no choice.

Father.

Do you want my life

or

the imperial robe you wear?

A’Wu.

Anyone can stop me

but you.

You are my daughter.

You are my only daughter.

A’Wu.

You are my most beloved person in the world.

You are the apple of my eye.

A’Wu.

You...

Of course you are more important than this imperial robe.

Come, A’Wu.

You are such a fool!

You are so foolish, A’Wu!

You don’t even believe that your father can bring peace to this world.

Look around, beside me who else can do it?

Who else?!

Great speech, very touching.

Father!

I almost forget what I come here for.

Father.

Take him out.

Father, Father...

Father.

Song Huai’en

Wang Lin, you got this place is all because of my military power.

They are my stepping stone.

What Xiao Qi has I want it.

What Xiao Qi won’t have

I also want it.

A’Wu.

Please give this item to Prince Yuzhang

and tell him

a man should take responsibility for his actions

and think carefully before he acts.

No one can do his duties on his behalf.

Princess Consort.

This is Princess Consort Yuzhang’s order,

You dare not to do it?

I obey.

Be my Empress.

Song Huai’en, you despicable!

I, despicable?

Song Huai’en!

Protect Princess Consort!

Princess Consort, leave!

You..

Why did you come back?

I never actually left.

I know,

You secretly plotted with capital military.

I know you will rebel.

But I don’t know

who is behind you.

Whom you were helping to rebel.

At the beginning,

I didn’t think of rebellion.

Bring me back to Ningshuo.

Older Brother.

I never want to come back to capital again.

I do not wish to return to the capital ever again.

[Guangyang Gate]

Father.

Father.

A’Wu?

Yes, it’s me.

Am I dead or alive?

Are you alive or dead?

The both of us are still alive.

I’m going to summon the Imperial Physician now.

A’Wu,

there’s no need for that.

As far as I’m concerned,

there is no difference whether I’m dead or alive.

The most important thing is that you’re still alive.

A’Wu,

let me hug you.

A’Wu.

A’Wu...

Father,

why did you have to do that?

Why did I have to do that?

I... Did it because of love.

But what sort of love is that?

My love...

Perhaps, you might think I do not understand what love is.

But in reality, I do understand.

Did you ever love Mother?

Let me ask you this.

Do you love Xiao Qi or do you love Zitan?

The love I have for them is different.

Good. My daughter has matured.

My daughter has matured.

Good.

The love you have for them is different.

I am still wrong, after all has been said and done.

In the end, one will always be troubled by the things one was unable to attain

as a youth.

And yet, what is it that is righteous?

Father...

Do you wish to be buried next to Mother

once everything has been concluded?

Su’er has already become an adult.

He has finally done something to disobey me.

Go and summon him here.

Summon my son-in-law Xiao Qi as well.

There is something I must tell them.

Go quickly. This is my final wish.

I know what you desire.

I will certainly be buried alongside your mother once I’m dead.

Go.

Summon them here.

A’Wu,

go quickly.

There is something I must tell them.

Go and summon Su’er and Xiao Qi.

Go, quickly!

Father...

Father...

You aren’t taking any soldiers with you back to Ningshuo this time.

What are you going to do if you meet with highwaymen?

The nation is already at peace, so why would we meet with highwaymen?

Don’t worry. I am here.

The best thing Father ever did was place A’Wu in your care.

Of course, I am assured with you by our side.

It’s just that the capital has finally stabilised after much unrest.

Why don’t you just forget about leaving?

When the capital is at peace, the nation is at peace.

When the nation is at peace, the people will also be at peace.

All is finally safe and secure.

It’s time for us to live our lives as ordinary citizens without ostentation.

What a rarity this is.

The realm is full of people

who wish to further advance themselves once they’ve come into power.

You’re the only ones who understand the meaning of “enough is enough.”

We never accumulated power to begin with, therefore there is no need for us to stop.

It’s actually a very good thing that we’re going to live out our lives peacefully as ordinary citizens.

I’m not afraid of being mocked at when I say this.

There are times where I think

I won’t be a good prime minister because I won’t have your help.

Elder Brother, I know you will most certainly be up for the task.

Song Huai’en’s son looks so much like Yu Xiu.

Yu Xiu has always been waiting for him to give a name to the child.

Who would’ve thought the result would be like this?

Yes, such a young child, and has already lost their parents.

It’s a good thing there’s still you to take care of him.

Miss Caiwei.

He will for sure be troubled because of imperial affairs.

I hope you will take good care of him.

Sister A’Wu, please rest assure.

I will for sure do my best to serve Prince of Jiangxia.

The Gu Clan and the Wang Clan, we should be best together.

Yes.

We will take our leave now.

When you reach Ningshuo, send a letter letting us know you are safe.

I know.

I will miss you.

Zitan committed to his crime and has already given up the throne.

He is to remain at the Imperial Mausoleum for the rest of his life.

Jing’er succeeded the throne.

Under Xiao Qi’s advice, the imperial court

has ordered the north of Ningshuo,

and the south of the Black Desert to be the places where all three generations may coexist.

It has changed hundreds of thousands of people’s fate.

From then on, they have reduced the tax and rewarded the farmers more.

Thus began the age of governance of magnificent light, and the land under heaven became peaceful and prosperous.

The golden age had finally arrived.

As for me and Xiao Qi,

Final team credits

Qin Zhi, do you know where is the Imperial city, Jianning?

The general does not leave within nine palaces.

Likewise, the guards must not leave the palace.

The Imperial city, Jianning is here.

Is Qin Zhi right?

Yes!

Then where is Huizhou Village?

The 4 sides of the channel have once been split into 2 worlds.

You cannot lose the important military ground.

[Huizhou]

Huizhou is here.

Then where are we right now?

North Hulan, South Liupan.

The stars have fallen, the sun has risen.

The mountain is high and the clouds fill the world.

[Ningshuo]

Ningshuo is where we are standing.

Great!

Mother A’Wu, am I right?

You are really right, Qin Zhi is really smart.

You have already memorized the world’s map clearly.

Mother A’Wu, we also know!

Okay, okay you are all smart kids.

Hurry up and find your favorite land card.

I like this map.

You are about to be a mother, are you happy?

Of course I am happy.

We will soon have our own child.

Also, so many orphans without homes.

They are all our children.

I want them to grow up well.

Teach them to be kind to others,

to create good for the world.

North Hulan, South Liupan.

The stars have fallen, the sun has risen.

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter take turns rotating around.

Geese fly, cows and sheep are happy.

The mountain is high and the clouds fill the world.
