Episode 20

General Cheng will be appointed as General Zuotunwei...

...and he'll assist the army to win over the enemies.

Great!

I'll not disappoint you, Your Majesty.

General Qin will be appointed as General Youtunwei...

...and he'll assist the army to kill the enemies.

I'll do my best.

Great!

We'll do our best.

Stop him. -Yes.

Who are you? -I'm Baron Yun with a report.

It doesn't matter. Here is the palace.

No one can enter at will.

What if His Majesty is in trouble? -We obey instructions.

If someone tries to create chaos,...

...we'll kill him first before reporting.

I hope the warriors...

...will remove all the bandits...

...and return peace...

...to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Here, I hope all the soldiers will triumph.

Don't let there be any more loss.

Destroy the enemy! Tang Dynasty is the greatest!

Destroy the enemy! Tang Dynasty is the greatest!

Cauldron!

Bomb!

Your Majesty, don't do it.

Play the music!

Let's depart!

Wushe, what's going on? Why do you stop me?

Your Majesty, let Baron Yun explain to you.

Baron Yun!

Did you ask Wushe to stop me?

What are you doing?

This is explosive. What's going on?

Who did this? -I don't know who it is either.

I've found many weapons below the stage. I fear that you'll be hurt.

So I asked Eunuch Wushe for help.

You did well.

This incident must be investigated thoroughly.

Who is daring enough...

...to do this when we're worshipping?

Qian'er. -Yes.

Bring some guards right away to secretly investigate this.

If you find anyone suspicious, you can just kill before reporting.

I understand.

Father, let me accompany brother.

Your Majesty, this is not a place to stay.

Please leave here. -Let's go.

Okay. -Guards, protect His Majesty.

Yes.

Assassin.

Wushe, go after the assassin. I'll protect father.

Crown Prince! Prince of Wei!

Crown Prince! Prince of Wei! There's an assassin!

Wushe is leading people to go after him.

Then why are we waiting? Go help! -Wait!

Wushe goes after the assassin? -Yes.

Then who is by His Majesty's side? -I don't know.

Why are you indecisive? If the assassin escapes,...

...the consequences will be bad. -Bring people to pursue.

I'll go back to find father. -Father gives you an order...

...but you're leaving instead.

Since when have you changed?

I have my own plan. I don't need to tell you. Bring me there.

Fine. Let's go.

Come over here and take a look.

General Wang, I have a question to ask you.

What's it?

I heard that General Jing used to fight gallantly back then.

He's comparable to Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong...

...but he was never promoted.

Was it really because of his hometown is Yunling?

Yes.

General Jing isn't from Guanlong. So, he's overlooked by Li Er.

Coincidentally, I come from the same hometown as General Jing.

Really? I haven't heard from you about this.

We're both from Dingzhou.

The Mohist are clever.

In the end, you found out although I've kept is a secret for long.

General Wang, if I'm not mistaken,...

...your surname isn't Wang.

You should be the underling of...

...General Hou Junji who guarded Youyintai.

I thought you didn't notice me that night.

I never thought that training a horse will reveal the truth.

Then what do you want to do, Brother Tian?

With your condition, you can't kill me even if you have a knife.

Lan'er, what are you doing? -I want to avenge my mother!

Are you crazy? -Yes, I'm crazy!

That's why I trusted you and took you...

...who killed my mother as my father!

What are you saying? I killed Ruolan?

Didn't you? How long are you going to act?

I don't know what you're talking about, but let me tell you,...

...if I can turn back time, I'd rather lose...

...than let Ruolan die because of me!

Hurry! -Extinguish the fire! Hurry!

You're crazy!

What have you heard, Lan'er?

Back then at Xuanwumen, did you not order people...

...to indiscriminately kill my mother...

...and the Mohist who went to save you?

What? I ordered people to kill your mother?

Indiscriminate killing?

Lan'er, where did you hear this? What do you know?

Go and talk to my mother in the afterlife!

That's enough!

Stop pretending! -If you don't want to tell me,...

...I'll go and ask Ruolan personally...

...about her murderer.

Anlan, don't do stupid thing.

I've asked you to stop interfering with my business.

Anlan.

Go away!

Sister, what are you doing?

Stop her from killing His Majesty!

This has nothing to do with you. Go away.

Don't do stupid thing. -Go away!

Father!

Yun Ye! -Yun Ye!

Your Majesty, I'm late.

Yun Ye!

Is it time to go back?

Xiao Ran. No.

Anlan.

Anlan.

Why? Why do you want to stop me?

I know you won't succeed.

I've lost a woman whom I loved.

I won't let you leave me.

Why don't you hate me?

Silly girl,...

...there's no husband who hates his wife.

Why?

Why don't you hate me?

Yun Ye!

Yun Ye!

Imperial physician!

His Majesty ordered...

...Princess Anyang to be grounded and reflect on her deeds.

Strictly guard her and don't let her leave her residence.

She can't interact with other people.

What happened, Sister Princess? Why are we grounded?

Sister.

I asked you to watch a disabled person for 6 years...

...but you disrupted my plan at the very last minute.

Why do I raise you then?

Tian Hezi is too cunning.

I didn't realise he has found out so many clues.

You even let your identity discovered by a useless person!

Aren't you just as useless, too?

Master, don't be angry. Don't worry.

I've secretly killed Tian Hezi.

If Tian Hezi has already spread the news,...

...how can I not worry? -I think that...

...Li Anlan doesn't know anything. If not, she won't proceed.

Watch Yun Ye for me.

I'll find out about Li Anlan. -Okay.

You should be a dead person.

I let you live because you can do things.

If you make a mistake again, don't blame me for being cruel.

This will be your end.

I understand.

I'll do my best for you.

Your Majesty, are you alright? -I'm just fine.

You don't need to worry.

The ceremony is a huge event.

There were thousands of guards but none can catch the assassin.

As the commander, Hou Junji...

...should be punished for his mistake.

He has admitted his wrongs. I've increased the defence.

I'm a bit tired. I want to rest.

Leave for now. -Yes.

Do you know who the assassin today is?

I'll handle this case personally.

Brother Ye!

Brother Ye! -Madam Yun.

Brother Ye!

What happened to you, Brother Ye?

What happened to Brother Ye, imperial physician?

What happened today and how my husband got injured?

Baron Yun was protecting His Majesty. Don't worry.

I'll do my best to treat him. -Treat him now.

Okay.

He is my husband. Let me do it.

Greetings, Crown Prince. -Greetings, Your Highness.

Listen to my order.

If anything happens to Yun Ye, you'll have the same fate.

I understand. I'll do my best.

Madam Yun. -Yes.

Don't worry. You must take good care of your health.

If not, Yun Ye will be sad. -Thank you, Your Highness.

With Madam Yun taking care of Yun Ye,...

...I believe that Yun Ye will be fine.

How is Yun Ye's condition, imperial physician?

I've treated his injuries. He'll be fine.

Please don't worry, Your Highness. -But why...

...hasn't he woken up? -Don't worry, Madam Yun.

Baron Yun's injuries need to heal slowly.

I'll come daily to treat him.

Thank you very much.

Yue'er, it's better to ask Physician Sun to come.

Hurry. -Okay, I'll go now, grandmother.

Don't worry.

Madam Yun. -Your Highness.

Since Yun Ye's fine, I'll leave now.

Forgive me for not sending you as I'm too worried.

Don't worry. Just send someone over if you need anything.

Thank you, Your Highness. -See you.

See you, Your Highness.

What happened, Sister Princess?

When will I be released?

I'm sorry, Linglong. I've involved you in this.

I'm not afraid of being involved. I'm worried about you.

Besides, I don't know what happened to Brother Yun.

Actually, I've wrongly accused him back then.

The truth is he treated you well.

Don't worry, Linglong. I'll ask father to let you out.

Don't do that, sister. I'll follow you to death. I won't leave.

His Majesty has arrived.

All of you may leave. -Yes.

Lan'er, you said I killed your mother today.

The truth is out there.

It's a pity that my mother didn't know about it until her death.

The man that she wanted to protect...

...treated her cruelly.

Who told you all these?

Why are you still pretending?

Why don't you just kill me? It's easier that way.

From then onwards, no one will know about your crimes.

How can you talk to your father like this?

Father?

I don't have a father.

Lan'er, I can swear to god that...

...I didn't have any intention to kill your mother. Moreover,...

...I didn't even know your mother came to find me with the Mohist.

Is that it? If what...

...you said is true, do you dare to investigate this case again?

This case involved too many people.

It's not that I don't want to but I can't investigate.

Don't you understand my predicament?

Of course I understand.

You're the Emperor. You have to consider the whole country.

It's a pity that my mother is just a normal citizen.

Because of you, she was involved in this war.

I never thought that things will turn out this way.

I really don't understand.

Why would my mother insist on giving birth to me?

Lan'er, trust me.

I won't let Ruolan die in vain...

...but I won't allow anyone to create a crime...

...to set me up.

If you really want to know how your mother died,...

...you should listen to me.

Cooperate with me and tell me who's the one telling you this.

Telling you this?

So that you can kill the witness? -You.....

Why are you so unreasonable? Calm down and think about it.

If I'm like the person you think of,...

...someone who is cunning,...

...will I still be here to persuade you?

Wait!

How is Yun Ye?

He is alive.

Physician Sun, how is my husband?

I've used needles to let out blood from his body.

His body is well now. He just needs to rest.

Thank you very much. Yun family is indebted to you.

Please accept a bow from me.

Lady Xinyue,...

...you're too courteous. Do we need...

...to be like this? Remember to give him medicine on time daily.

I'll return to the medicine store now.

Someone.

See Physician Sun off.

See you.

He's awake!

Brother Yun.

Lan'er.

Brother Yun, I'm here. Just tell me what you need.

Lan'er.

I've sent imperial guards to search for the assassin.

I believe I'll find the culprit and solve the case.

I'll definitely find this culprit and punish him.

Greetings, father.

Brother.

In order to prevent another attack,...

...I've sent more guards to Ganlu Hall.

Good. -Father, during the war,...

...you should be careful.

I suggest that you order to strengthen the defence...

...and trap the assassin within Chang'an to catch them all.

General Hou will handle this. You just handle your own task.

Father, you should rest after this incident.

Let the Crown Prince and me...

...help you with the rest.

I'm fine now.

Please take care of your health, father.

Your health will affect the safety of Tang.

I'm happy that you're thoughtful.

I'm leaving now.

Is Yun Ye's matter settled?

Yes, I've arranged everything.

Physician Zhao and Physician Sun are treating him.

I believe that he'll be fine soon. -Good.

Father, sister.....

I know what you want to ask after standing there for a long time.

I won't blindly guess what you think...

...but I think this incident is not as simple.

Although sister is used to do whatever she wants,...

...she isn't unreasonable and reckless.

I hope you'll investigate this. -Then do you mean...

...Princess Anlan is right and there is a reason behind this?

So, it's my fault?

I don't mean that. I think that...

...something isn't right. Sister loves her mother....

She loves her mother?

Do you mean that I killed her mother?

I don't mean that. I certainly don't trust the accusations.

It's just that from my understanding of sister,...

...I'm willing to bet my position that she didn't mean harm.

The sword was close to my neck and she meant no harm?

You even bet using your position as the Crown Prince.

How can you say such ridiculous words as the Crown Prince?

How dare you use the position like that?

I've finally understand.

In your heart,...

...am I such a sinister and brutal tyrant?

I don't mean that!

Don't be angry, father. You've misunderstood me.

You've disappointed me.

Leave. I don't want to see you.

Yes.

Please wait, brother.

I've heard...

...your conversation with father.

You didn't just make father disappointed.

You even make me ashamed.

Where did the originally wise and clever Crown Prince go?

Are you still the brother that I admired?

I don't want to quarrel with you. Go away.

You're affected by women.

You've grown up, but you must remember one thing.

I'm your elder brother. I'm the Crown Prince.

How dare you talk to me like this?

So, you know that you're the Crown Prince.

You also know that you're my elder brother.

Whether it's Lu family's eldest daughter or Princess Anyang,...

...when you face with problems involving women,...

...you're messed up.

How can father let you take over the country without any worries?

I don't need your teachings.

Know your place.

Brother!

In this palace and in this country,...

...not everything goes according to you.

The imperial edict is here.

Crown Prince Chengqian has...

...been trusted by me and I have high hopes for you...

...but from your recent actions, you didn't do well.

From today on, you're to stay in East Palace and reflect upon this.

Unless called, you aren't allowed to leave.

Your duties will be handled by Prince of Wei temporarily.

I hope you'll reflect well and don't disappoint me.

The edict is as stated.

Receive the order, Crown Prince.

I thank father for your love.

Prince of Wei will take over the command of the imperial guards.

General Hou Junji will assist to protect Chang'an together.

General Hou is good in military.

He'll handle all the military affairs...

...and handle them accordingly.

The edict is as stated.

I receive the edict.

Prince of Wei.

General Hou. I have something on in the palace. I'll leave first.

I'm the main commander of the imperial guards.

I'll be strict and follow the rules.

The current task is to strengthen the patrol in Chang'an.

We must find the assassin and the culprit to punish them.

You should do your best and don't slack off.

If not,...

...you'll be punished according to the military law.

Don't you understand his words? -We understand.

Prince of Wei,...

...this is the patrol record of the guards. Please check.

Thank you, General Hou. I'm still young and inexperienced.

Please help me with all the matters from today onwards.

Don't worry, Prince of Wei. I'll do my best.

Okay.

Brother Yun, you're finally awake.

How long have I slept? -One day and one night.

I was frightened when the imperial physician sent you here.

I have to go out. -Don't rush.

Princess Anlan is now grounded in Xunfeng Hall.

That's the only punishment for her.

No, I need to go out.

Brother Yun.

You must be careful.

I know.

Father, you asked for me?

Go to the East Palace today...

...and pass this letter to the Crown Prince.

I don't want to meet him.

His Majesty has grounded him.

Don't you want to visit him?

What crime did he commit? Why is he punished?

Don't ask too much. Come back once you're done.

Don't let anyone see this letter.

But,...

...after the last meeting, the Crown Prince never finds me again.

Both of us.....

He's the almighty Crown Prince.

I'm nothing to him.

I don't want to be bothered about him.

So weak.

Why can't you do even this simple thing?

Are you still my daughter?

Useless thing, why did I raise you up?

Yes, I'm useless.

I only know how to make you angry.

The Crown Prince doesn't like me. There's no reason for me to live.

Many times, the Crown Prince...

...isn't able to do much in his position.

It isn't easy for him to hold on to the position.

His position is fragile.

If you want to be his wife,...

...the first thing you need to learn is to be compassionate.

Do you understand?

Then I'll listen to you and go now.

Master, there's nothing going on in Yun manor in the past 2 days.

Yun Ye is still in a coma.

Li Shimin has blocked all the news.

He quietly kept Li Anlan in the palace to protect her.

Could it be that they have found out anything?

It's unlikely so.

If he did find out the truth,...

...he would've acted against me.

Then what does Li Er actually want?

Li Shimin is likely not willing to kill his own daughter...

...but it's not good if Li Anlan continues to live for another day.

The palace defence is heightened. It's difficult to do anything.

Since he wants to hide her,...

...I'll make her unable to hide.

Your Highness, General Hou's daughter wants to meet you.

Let her in. -Yes.

Your Highness. -Why are you here?

This is for you.

What's this? -This is given by my father.

There's nothing else. I'm leaving now.

Is there anything? -In the past few days,...

...how were you?

I was not fine.

I'm not fine.

Don't worry. I'll take responsibility.

If there's anything that I can help you,...

...just let me know. My father said...

...he hopes you won't think too much.

I've made this some days ago.

When you're bored in the palace,...

...use this.

If I were not the Crown Prince, will you still love me?

Whether you're the Crown Prince or not,...

...I won't regret that night.

I heard Baron Yun sacrificed his life for the Princess.

Will you do the same for me?

I know you're the Crown Prince.

You can't do many things. Don't worry though.

I won't make it difficult for you.
