=Episode 47=

Today is different from before.

In the Morning Dew Rebellion before,

you were able to escape.

I didn't expect

that you'd control the nation's affairs

and harm the citizens for so many years.

Today,

it's time for you to die!

(Danfeng Gate)

Chess Overseer, listen to the command!

Kill everyone in Hanyuan Hall!

Kill them!

Kill them!

The Chess Overseer of Chess of Generals Camp is here.

(General)

- Greetings, Chess Overseer! - Greetings, Chess Overseer!

Yanzhi!

My good daughter.

Isn't this heart-wrenching?

When playing chess,

we hate it when surprises happen.

Because any surprise

is caused by an incompetent setup.

That was what I said.

Nice.

Could it be

that you won't listen to me anymore?

Why do I need you...

No.

No.

You're not from Chess of Generals Camp.

Who exactly are you?

(Pawn)

They're my people.

I see.

While I was choosing

new chess pieces,

you

arranged your people here.

It's you!

(Chess of Generals Camp)

(Chess of Generals Camp) Mine was taken away.

I stole Left Chariot's.

With this token,

we can exchange

the Golden Chess Pieces with people from our side.

You can only blame Left Chariot for being too stupid.

He couldn't even see through that trick.

What did you say?

Go!

(No wonder they evaded me)

(and immediately left)

(when I fought with them)

(at the forest that day.)

(Yanzhi and His Majesty)

(are really in sync.)

What a good setup.

This is

the best setup I've ever seen!

Yanzhi.

Good.

You're very good.

I didn't expect

to fall into your hands.

No.

You're utterly evil.

Your allies and friends have forsaken you.

You fell into the people's hands.

Well said.

Well said!

Qi Yan!

Don't forget.

I gave you the throne.

And you,

you useless bunch of people!

I gave you

your positions!

Prince Guang!

I spared your life!

And you,

you beasts!

I taught you martial arts!

Forget it.

Forget it.

Forget it!

Yanzhi.

You were the one

I spent eight years of effort

in raising.

Xing is led by the Qi family.

His Majesty is their descendant.

You're just a eunuch.

How can you dare say that you gave him his throne?

His Highness Prince Guang is the emperor's uncle.

Is it up to you to spare his life?

I think

he just spared your lowly life!

And hundreds of imperial officials

studied hard

for the imperial examination

or accomplished great things

in order to receive the emperor's support.

What does it have to do with you?

And you forced the Chess of Generals soldiers

through your power and authority

to leave their hometowns

and sell themselves as slaves.

They're living cruel, dangerous

and hellish lives.

In their hearts,

they've been spurning you for a long time.

And you forced Yanzhi

to kill people

and do evil things.

How can you mention

your efforts?

Yanzhi is right.

Qiu Ziliang.

You're utterly evil.

Your allies and friends have forsaken you.

Today,

it's time for you to die.

(Hanyuan Hall)

Left Advisor.

You're not Yanzhi's dog.

You're mine!

I'm not anyone's dog.

My name is Yan Xiu!

You all can't compare to me!

Yanzhi.

You are here!

Both of you are here!

Qiu Ziliang!

Your Majesty.

Ruoqing.

Ruoling.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, your hand.

I'm fine.

Yan...

How is Consort Shu?

Consort Shu isn't out of danger yet.

♪Perhaps it's a blessing♪

Your Majesty.

How is Yu'er?

♪A true love's meeting♪

She's fine.

It's just that

I don't know when she'll wake up.

That was really

a big blow to her.

How is she?

Her heart had been injured before.

After recovering for such a long time,

she still hasn't fully healed.

Now, she received a serious injury again.

Prince Guang.

I really can't save her anymore.

I'm sorry.

Your Highness.

I was able to take revenge today,

and Ruoling and I acknowledged each other.

You should be happy for me.

Ruoling.

You must wake up.

Your sister is still waiting for you.

Without your encouragement,

she might not be able to hold on anymore.

Wake up.

Yu'er.

We're not enemies.

Yanzhi.

Where's His Majesty?

I told you to leave.

Yet you kept

coming back.

I'm His Majesty's Sword Bearer.

I swore to live and die with His Majesty!

Ruoqing, I'm sorry.

I'll kill you.

Ruoqing!

I was wrong!

Ruoqing.

I was wrong.

Ruoqing!

♪Time goes on like the current♪

(Ruoqing.)

(Why did you do)

(so many strange things?)

(Why did you kill me, and then save me?)

(You saved me. Yet you used me.)

(Why did you betray Han Yue?)

(I finally understand.)

♪Can true joy end this dream♪

♪It's a curious tale in a golden time♪

Your Majesty.

Yu'er.

You're finally awake, Yu'er.

Your Majesty.

Where's Ruoqing?

Your Highness.

Spare Qi Yan.

I want him to die too.

But Ruoling likes him.

If he dies,

Ruoling will surely be sad.

That's why

I've decided to spare him.

Your Highness, spare him too.

My lifelong wish

is all about Ruoling.

As long as she's happy and safe,

I don't wish for anything else.

Please promise me.

Promise me.

Is she

dead?

She's not.

She's not dead.

She's still being treated.

I want to see her.

I want to see her.

Ruoling.

Ruoling.

I

will definitely not collapse.

If we haven't reached the end,

I won't collapse.

I must hold on until the end.

I knew it.

I've been looking

for the third party hiding in the dark.

Initially, I thought it was Han Yue.

Later on, I suspected that it was you.

But Cheng Xi misled me.

It turns out

that after all the twists and turns,

it's still you.

Ruoqing.

Ruoqing, how are you feeling?

Ruoqing.

I promise you.

I'll search for well-known physicians.

Someone can surely save you.

It's no use.

You'll surely get better.

I just recovered my memories.

I still have many things

to say to you.

Listen to me.

Ruoling.

I have no regret anymore.

I'm just worried about you.

I hope that you

won't be immersed in the past

and be absorbed in sorrow.

Look to the future instead.

Qiu Ziliang has fallen.

The power of the eunuch's faction is in decline.

All neglected tasks will be taken care of.

A new life

is waiting for you.

Ruoqing.

Countless people

exchanged their lives for this.

You must treasure it.

All right.

All right.

It's just that

I can't read

Prince Guang well.

What's the matter with Prince Guang?

Xiu.

Xiu.

Will Xiu be back?

Ruoqing, you're looking for Xiu?

I told you before.

Today,

if you and I remain alive,

I will tell you a secret.

I remember everything now.

I remember everything now, Ruoqing.

Then do you remember

the late emperor's posthumous edict?

Posthumous edict?

I remember Han Yue jumping in.

And Grandfather was holding the posthumous edict.

However...

However, after that...

After that,

I...

Chess Overseer.

Where is it?

What's this?

The posthumous edict.

(Chess Ancestor Shennong)

Let me see the doll.

Little Bell!

- Little Bell! - Get up!

Go!

(Chess Ancestor Shennong)

It's in this painting?

All these years,

everyone's been looking for it,

especially Qiu Ziliang.

But the posthumous edict

was right under his nose.

Ruoqing, what are you planning to do?

Xiu.

Yes.

Guard the door.

Yes.

Ruoqing.

It depends on what you're planning to do.

Me?

Back then,

even if Qi Yan was being threatened by Qiu Ziliang,

he was still an accomplice.

His Majesty had his reasons.

But he told me

not to tell anyone about it.

When I get his permission,

I'll surely tell you.

It's not important whether I believe it or not anymore.

Now,

the decision is in your hands.

I kept it

for your sake.

In the future,

If Qi Yan fails you,

give it to Prince Guang

or someone else.

Anyway,

you must take precautions against people.

Remember.

This is the last protection talisman

I can leave to you.

Ruoqing.

Ruoling.

Your Majesty.

The guards outside

are all new.

You've noticed?

Yes.

I don't know what's going on.

Your Majesty.

I'll go to Official Han at once.

I knew it.

Teacher.

This day has finally come.

Ruoling.

Ruoqing.

I might

have to leave you.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

I'm just worried about you.

You're my only family

in this world.

I'm begging you.

For my sake,

live.

It hurts so much.

Ruoqing.

I'm going to find Grandfather.

Together with Grandfather,

I'll look down on you from above.

No.

I don't want that.

I'm sorry, Ruoling.

I still have to leave you by yourself.

Don't leave me.

Don't.

Xiu.

Xiu.

- Xiu. - Xiu!

From now on,

Ruoling is your sister.

Yes.

Do you still remember

what you promised me?

I do.

I can feel at ease then.

Come here.

In this lifetime,

I owe you too much.

In the next life...

In the next life, I'll surely repay you.

Ruoqing.

Ruoqing.

Ruoqing!

Ruoqing!

Ruoqing.

You won't feel pain anymore.

You won't suffer anymore.

Ruoqing.

Ruoqing.

Qi Ang.

Qiu Ziliang is dead.

The power of the eunuch's faction is slowly declining.

I finally did

what I promised you.

I've won.

Many people died.

And my hands are also stained with blood.

But I don't regret it.

In a crisis,

one can see people

and things clearly.

That's why I'm very lucky.

I'm also very unlucky.

That person

can't restrain himself anymore.

What should I do?

What should I do now?

Qi Ang.

I'm really tired.

I don't want to see

more people die.

I was able to win against the eunuch's faction

and Qiu Ziliang.

But this time, I'm up against

my own uncle.

They're asking

what your decision is.

Your Highness.

Everything is ready.

Your Highness.

(Wait.)

(We have to let her go in peace.)

(Chess of Generals Camp)

Ruoqing.

We're home.

I still remember.

When we were little,

we often

played hide and seek in this yard.

I

was very naughty.

I always climbed up in the trees.

One time, I fell,

and I fell very hard.

You kept comforting me

and even made a lot of cherry pastries for me.

I also remember

that when we were little,

we'd read poems with Grandfather.

Leave home and go to war with the general,

wearing a sword with gold accent to build meritorious deeds.

Regardless if it's cold and the horse is freezing,

I only see the wars in the borders and try my best to kill the enemies.

I only see the wars in the borders and try my best to kill the enemies.
