Secondly,

you must take good care

of your other siblings.

Promise me this.

Look at me.

No matter what happens in the future,

no matter how difficult the situation is,

you need to live on.

You and your siblings must live on.

As long as you guys are still alive,

as long as the descendants of the Qi Family are alive,

the lineage of the Qi Family

will always be around.

Understood.

I...

All right.

I...

I think I can do so.

Good.

Good boy.

Brother?

I...

Your Majesty.

What about

the third question?

Your Majesty?

That is all I will ask.

As for the rest, you should act as you deem fit.

Brother,

how is your body?

They said they weren't able to cure your illness.

I will

hold on until the day you ascend the throne.

Qi Rong, you don't need to worry about that.

Brother, please take care.

The Chess Overseer has ordered me to send you two back to the palace.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I am fine.

I am fine.

Your Majesty,

you insisted on seeing Prince An.

Actually, I knew you did it

because you wanted to ask him about the third question, right?

The third question?

Even I couldn't achieve the task myself.

There's no need for me to criticise him because of it.

Can you take care of yourself?

Can you

take care of your siblings?

Thirdly,

can you win?

Tell me you can do it!

If you win,

the Xing empire will survive.

If you lose,

the Xing empire will be eradicated.

Wang Yang,

Zheng Lu,

me,

and the thousands of people

who had died during the Morning Dew Rebellion,

all of us can die

for the sake of your victory!

So, tell me.

Tell me you can do it!

I...

I will surely win.

Before Xuanzong's tomb on the Golden Grain Mound now arch mature trees.

The stone castle by the Qutang Gorge is surrounded by a deary field where grass rustles.

Coming to an end is a lavish banquet and a busy orchestra.

As music fades, sadness takes place, over in the east the moon is up.

Even with the bow in my hand,

and my ambition to shoot down the sun,

the dust stirs up

and the sky is dark.

This

isn't fair at all.

Since when did I say

that you can enter my room

at will?

Ever since Cheng Ruoyu

treated this place as her second home.

Chess Overseer,

you would be mistaken

if you thought I was trying to provoke you.

What is it then?

It's a reminder.

And,

you need to be grateful to Qi Yan and Cheng Ruoyu

for visiting Prince An tonight.

That's how you were able to avoid committing a grave mistake.

This serves as a reminder to you as well.

I still remember

the time when I first saw you.

You looked at me,

you said my face looked familiar to you.

Back then, I was thinking

that you were

an annoying woman.

After that,

you were smiling

whenever I see you.

I was wondering

when that wretched smile of yours

will disappear.

But now,

not only do you not smile,

you always cry as well.

Your Majesty,

you know what?

In this world, you're the only person

who can make me smile and cry.

Yu'er, I'm sorry.

Sorry for making you cry so often.

I'll stop crying.

I'll stop crying.

Your Majesty, as long as you stay with me,

you'll be able to see my smile

forever.

I'll stop crying.

You should leave Heng'an City together with Huaizhi.

With him taking care of you,

I won't need to worry that much about you.

Your Majesty, I will never leave your side.

No matter where you go,

I'll follow.

In this lifetime,

I was an emperor,

I was the son of a eunuch,

and I've made

a person like you, who love to smile,

cry because of me.

I have no regrets now.

I will never leave your side.

Yu'er,

I'm sure you will

meet someone

who can make you smile

without making you cry in the future.

I...

I wish...

I wish you happiness.

Your Majesty.

I'm jealous.

I'm jealous

of that person.

I'm jealous of that person.

That person,

why can't it be me?

Why can't it be me?

We will always stay together.

There's no need for you to be jealous of him.

Your Majesty, I'm sure

that person is you,

okay?

Your Majesty, I'm sure it's you!

(Chess of Generals Camp)

Are you saying

that the Right Chariot

knew that you were going to assassinate Prince An tonight?

Yes.

But, I didn't realise

that he was spying on us at all.

You don't need to wonder how.

I assume it was just his prediction.

He didn't see it for himself.

What is he up to?

He only has one goal.

He wants to stop me from assassinating Prince An.

And, he isn't doing it

for Qiu Ziliang's sake.

He's doing it for another person's sake.

For whose sake?

The Right Minister.

Sir,

the day after tomorrow will be the appointment ceremony.

Both Prince An

and Qi Yan are still alive.

Yanzhi,

Cheng Ruoyu,

Qiu Ziliang,

all of them do not need to die.

We can begin a new game while they're still alive.

Have you decided to make this move?

Someone.

Yes, sir.

Summon the divine healer here tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

His Majesty didn't assassinate Prince An last night.

He just told Prince An what to do.

He returned to the palace after that.

So that's the truth.

That is within my expectation.

He is the same as the late emperor.

Both of them are useless fools who are soft-hearted.

Forget about him.

He is going to die soon.

There's no need to hold it against him.

By the way,

what about Yanzhi?

Was she up to something?

No.

Continue to keep an eye on Yanzhi.

The appointment ceremony is tomorrow.

I don't want anything to go wrong.

Yes, sir.

What?

Don't you have anything to tell me?

Sir, if I ask you

to put aside every other affair

and focus on meditating

so that you can neutralise the poison within your body,

will you listen to me?

No.

I shall save my breath then.

But,

I do

have a strong feeling.

My Qihai meridian

has been twitching rapidly lately.

This is not the time for me to isolate myself and meditate.

We can talk about that after Prince An has ascended the throne.

These are the information I can get

regarding Nine and Lin.

These are all that I can get

within a limited amount of time.

Do you really think

they're the subordinates of the Right Minister?

I'm just suspicious of them.

That's why I need to find evidence.

If that were the case,

Right Minister

is an unpredictable person.

Have you not found Cheng Xi yet?

Arrange an appointment for me.

I need to see the Right Minister.

Understood.

Your Majesty,

are you awake?

How do you feel?

Do you feel much better?

Look at me.

I've fully recovered.

Your Majesty, you must be shocked.

Even I didn't expect

the Right Advisor to be this good at bone setting.

Did the Right Advisor treat your fracture for you?

And,

Your Majesty, she was the one who gave you the medicine as well.

Your Majesty,

you're worried that this may be a trap, am I right?

I was worried about the same thing before.

But, Your Majesty, I've tried your medicine for you.

The medicine is fine.

Your Majesty, I'm willing

to try everything for your sake

as long as you can survive.

Your Majesty,

instead of

waiting for the third person to save us,

why don't we save ourselves?

What do you say?

Are you sure you've fully recovered?

The appointment ceremony is tomorrow.

Eunuch Qiu has sent another 50 guards

to protect Prince An.

It is said

that the preparation in Changming Palace

is almost ready as well.

Now, we have no choice

but to wait for tomorrow's arrival.

What sound was that?

It's the tune for the appointment ceremony.

Your Majesty, I think I heard the same tune

during your ascension ceremony.

Tomorrow,

you'll be able

to hear the official tune again.

Your Majesty,

are you going to give up the throne?

Don't tell me you want me to fight my brother for the throne?

Do you understand?

Do you regret your decision?

Are you happy?

As for me,

I am delighted.

Your Majesty, you...

I seem different, am I right?

Your Majesty, the past you was like a bow.

You were always tensed up.

But, the current you are...

I was tensed up in the past

because I couldn't bear to part with the throne.

I always wanted the best of both worlds.

But now, I'm willing to part with anything.

And now,

I can finally win.

He doesn't want to see me?

Yes.

The Right Minister said

that he will not see you

before the appointment ceremony

to avoid suspicion.

So,

not only does he want to protect me,

seems like he wants to protect Prince An as well.

Prince An?

Stop!

Under Duke Chu's order,

the Imperial Clothing Bureau is here

to assist Prince An in choosing the right size for his attire.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Under Duke Chu's order,

us from the Imperial Clothing Bureau

are to assist you in choosing the right size for your attire.

Please come in.

We meet again,

Your Highness.

Our future emperor.

Wait.

I think I should address you as my nephew.

You've laid your eyes on something you weren't supposed to.

Don't you think

you should pay for the consequences?

Don't kill me!

It's you?

Both of you are actually ganging up on me?

Don't blame them.

Don't forget,

Right Minister was the one

who had picked these warriors of sacrifice

for you.

Heartless ingrate.

I tried my best to help you ascend the throne,

but now, you're saving both Qi Yan and Qi Rong.

You're forsaking me instead!

We're stopping you

because we need to save you.

I would've succeeded a long time ago

if you didn't stop me

time and time again!

As for the rest of you,

return to where you belong.

How long do we have

before the appointment ceremony?

Less than 12 hours.

Let's visit Prince An.

At this hour?

I feel uneasy

for the past few days.

I need to visit him personally

just in case.

I need to keep watch over him.

Godfather.

This is great.

I won't need to be scared anymore once you're here.

Why were you scared?

As long as I'm here,

nobody will be able to harm you.

Understood?

Come.

Let's play with the crickets together.

Come.

You'll be the emperor tomorrow.

You should be happy.

You must act like an emperor

if you are one.

You must cherish my kindness

and be grateful to me.

(Your Highness,)

if you wish for tomorrow's appointment ceremony

to proceed

smoothly,

you mustn't tell anyone

that Madam Cheng was here.

Good.

Godfather.

Very good.

You look great.

You're the new emperor of the Xing empire.

You're the hope of the Xing empire!

Good!

Come.

I'm in a great mood today.

I'll put on your hat for you.

Come.

What do you think?

Godfather,

will Brother attend today's appointment ceremony?

Do you wish for him to attend it?

I do.

You are the new emperor.

You get to make the call here.

Someone!

Yes, sir.

Invite Qi Yan

and ask him to attend the appointment ceremony.

Let him observe the ceremony

as I crown the new emperor.

Yes, sir.

Are you happy now?

By the way, Godfather,

the imperial crown seems pretty heavy.

Heavy?

Of course. You have to shoulder the fate of the entire Xing empire.

There's no need to be afraid.

As long as I'm around,

you'll be able to withstand the burden!

Godfather.

Godfather!

Godfather!

This...

Godfather.
