Episode 29

How is she? -Your Highness.

I'm sorry.

Don't blame yourself.

It's her fate.

Your Highness,...

...how are you going to deal with her remains?

Are we sending her back home? -She's wanted.

If I send her back, her family will end up in trouble.

Since I saved her, I shall make arrangements for her funeral.

You may leave first. -Yes.

Yue'er?

Why are you here? -I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it. It's all my fault.

I can't let you be ruined by her.

You've known about she and I, haven't you?

That day,...

...I was drunk and I mistook her as you.

Thus,...

...I've made a mistake. -It doesn't matter now.

You may scold me or hit me as you wish.

Why did you kill her? She's only 17 years old.

She wanted to inform His Majesty about your relationship with her.

I told her that you'll be ruined but she ignored me.

Who should I protect between you and her?

Ever since I've fallen in love with you,...

...I've known my fate.

There is no way for me to regret.

Xinyue, from today onwards,...

...you'll be the only woman in my life.

She has passed away.

I hope she may rest in peace.

Don't be scared. I'm here.

Alas!

Everyone is the same.

Everyone has the same life path...

...except for the late Emperor Emeritus.

Our late Emperor, Li Yuan was born in 566 AD.

When the world was in chaos, he gathered the warriors,...

...with the blessing of god,...

...he managed to stop the riot.

He founded the country and became the ruler of the country.

He had made many contributions to the country.

His contributions and kindness are being remembered till now.

Now, he has passed away.

However, his spirit will always stay with us.

He'll be entitled as Emperor Taiwu.

Serve the offerings.

Don't worry, Emperor Emeritus.

I'll take good care of Anlan.

Stamp your feet.

Prince of Wei is here.

Please mind your manners, Prince of Wei.

Grandfather, I'm late.

Qingque, why did you come back suddenly?

I asked him to come back.

Father, we.....

It's okay. It's good that you're back.

Pay your respect.

General Hou.

General Hou, it's been a few days since State Duke Shen went home.

Were you informed about this? -Really?

Many things happened recently.

He might be staying in the palace with His Majesty and Her Highness.

I see. General Hou.

However, I saw him with two servants just now.

During the national funeral,...

...officials usually come alone. Don't you find it strange?

What are you trying to say? -I heard that...

...he's put under house arrest by His Majesty.

Duke Yun, you shouldn't simply say that.

State Duke Shen is the Empress' uncle...

...and has served two Emperors.

You shouldn't believe in the rumour.

You may even lose your life if someone makes use of it.

If..... I said if.

How will he be punished if he has offended His Majesty?

I think you should stop the nonsense now.

State Duke Shen is very influential.

Although he isn't having a post, officials who meet him...

...still show their respect to him.

He's still as prestigious. Even His Majesty respects him.

No one in the court could affect his status easily.

In the future,...

...you should stop spreading the rumour for your own good.

Yes, General Hou.

I still have something else to settle at home.

I shall make a move first. See you.

Have a safe journey, General Hou.

Your Highness, did you meet my daughter yesterday?

No. What's wrong?

She hasn't come back since yesterday.

No one knows where she is. -Isn't she still feeling not well?

Where can she go?

I thought she has gone to meet you,...

...but now.....

I have no idea.

General Hou, you must be mistaken. If she came to meet me,...

...I would've asked someone to send her back home.

You're right, Your Highness. -Don't panic, General Hou.

I shall send my men to look for her and inform you if she's found.

Thank you, Your Highness.

What brings Your Highness here...

...at this hour?

General Hou, State Duke Shen is under secret house arrest.

I have no idea whether someone...

...is trying to sabotage Zhangsun family.

We must bring forward our plan. If they act before us,...

...we'll be restricted. -Is it confirmed that...

...someone is acting behind us? -No matter what it is,...

...Zhangsun family will be ruined without my uncle.

My influence in the court will be affected, too.

It's hard for us to rise by then.

Don't panic, Your Highness. It's not the time yet.

Since His Majesty keeps it a secret,...

...there may be a change. Also, the situation is unknown now.

If we act in rush, we may fall into the trap.

We should stay calm now.

You're right, General Hou.

Please inform me if you have any news about it.

Have a safe journey, Your Highness.

He's ignorant and reckless.

How will His Majesty deal with Gao Shilian?

Gao Shilian is neither punished nor released.

I have no idea what His Majesty is trying to do.

We can only act according to the situation now.

Bring Chuntao here. -Yes.

Let me ask you again. Where did Xiaomei go?

I have no idea.

Chuntao,...

...Xiaomei has been missing for two days.

Can you bear to see her...

...staying outside alone?

You've known her since you were young.

She sees you as her sister.

Knowing her for so many years,...

...don't you worry that she may be in danger?

Please pity me.

I beg of you. Please tell me her whereabouts.

Tell me.

Lady Mei has gone to meet His Highness.

She can't enter the palace! How are they going to meet?

I have no idea.

Bring her out and bury her.

Yes.

Send our men to the places that His Highness went...

...and investigate in dark. Keep a close watch on His Highness.

Inform me if he takes any action.

It's related to Hou family...

...and His Highness' reputation.

It may affect our plan. You and your men...

...can only work in dark.

Yes.

The Turks army built their fort at a strategic location.

Our troops couldn't attack them. We've lost half of our troops.

It's my fault. Please punish me, father.

It's normal to lose. Moreover, General Cheng is still there.

It's possible for us to win, too. Don't ask for forgiveness yet.

Don't blame yourself.

Get up. -Thank you, father.

It's going to be winter. It'll be too cold for our army.

It's hard for us to win after the winter has come.

Do you have any good suggestion?

I haven't figured it out yet.

Father, Prince of Wei is injured and has been long fighting.

Why don't we let him take a rest? I could go for the battle.

After the funeral, many things have to be settled...

...with your help.

Moreover, as the Crown Prince,...

...you have to learn how to rule the country first.

Don't worry about the military achievements yet.

Father, it's not for the sake of the military achievement.

I just feel that as the Crown Prince.....

It's okay. You just have to focus on your duty.

It's considered as the support for the battle, too.

Yes, father.

Don't worry about the relief troops.

I've sent the provincial governor of Jingzhou to go for it.

Summon the provincial governor.

Summon the provincial governor of Jingzhou, Chang He.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

General Chang, please get up.

It has been a while. How are you, General Chang?

I'm fine, Your Majesty.

Tell them the progress of the relief troops.

They are on the way now.

They may reach the destination within a few days.

Good. Qingque,...

...rest here and discuss with the generals about the plan.

Once you've recovered,...

...lead the troops to attack the Turks immediately.

Yes, father. The late Emperor Emeritus...

...will bless Great Tang for the victory!

Our troops can definitely...

...conquer the barbarians' place!

It's dangerous for Prince of Wei.

Prince of Wei, please hold on.

What's wrong, Duke Yun? -Did Your Highness...

...mention that the Turks built a fort...

...and it can't be conquered? -Yes.

I have a plan to conquer it.

Are you sure? -If the plan is carried out,...

...I'm very confident that we can win.

Please tell me, Duke Yun.

It's a good plan but I need many people and materials.

I want to set up a place in the palace...

...to work on the weapons.

I know you always have an unexpected idea,...

...but it's related to the battle now.

Stop acting mysterious. -No, I'm not.

I'm just afraid that you won't believe me.

What about this? I shall show it to you after 2 days.

You'll know whether it works or not once you see it.

All right. I shall wait for your good news.

I.....

I shall take my leave.

Stop! What are you trying to do?

The chair will be broken once you hit it, right?

I want to improve it...

...so that it's more comfortable.

It may become the instrument of torture after you've done.

I know it can work. You've neglected your skill for long.

Stop arguing with me. -I didn't neglect my skill.

Give me the axe. I shall show you my skill.

Don't ruin my name. -Give it to me!

No! -Give it to me!

Give it back to me! -Stop.

Why are you fighting for a chair?

Isn't it comfortable?

I have good news.

I've figured out a way to get closer to Gao Shilian.

What's it? -This method...

...requires you to gather the Mohists first.

Hide yourself first! Hurry!

What brings you here, grandma? -You almost stay here now.

Follow me back. -What are you doing, grandma?

I've just received a task from the officials.

I can't afford to wait. -Your son is more important.

Let's go. -Grandma.

What do you mean by that?

Grandma, since he has a task, let's go back first.

We can't offend the officials. -Xinyue is understanding.

Follow me! -Tell Li I'll come tomorrow.

Yun Ye, what's this? Can it work?

Is this cauldron the weapon for the battle?

Yes. -No.

The weapon is hidden in it. Let me demonstrate it.

Please move back.

A little bit more.

Eunuch, you should, too. Move back.

The further the better. Move.

Move another five steps.

Okay!

Protect His Majesty!

Move!

What powerful weapon is this?

Your Majesty, it's explosive. It's made from the gunpowder.

Once it's ignited, it may destroy anything.

It's very powerful.

Yes, father. I only put an explosive in it...

...and the cauldron was ruined. If we put hundreds of them,...

...the entire palace may be ruined, too.

The explosive is so small yet it's so powerful.

If we use in the fort of Turks,...

...everything will be gone, right? -Yes.

The fort of Turks will end up like these stones on the floor.

Father, with such a powerful weapon,...

...everything can be turned into ashes.

Qingque, work with Duke Yun...

...to produce a new batch of explosive.

You're in charge of the materials.

Yes, father.

Father,...

...it's confidential but we need many people and materials.

I think we should set up a place in the palace...

...and let Duke Yun make the explosive there.

Let's follow your suggestion.

Thank you, father. -Thank you, Your Majesty.

What brings you here, Your Highness?

Stop pretending. You know why I'm here.

You're here for Xinyue, right? She has gone out.

When did you become close with Li Tai?

We're not close.

Why did you help him then?

What did he promise you...

...that you're willing to work for him?

Why are you so mean?

Who told you that I work for Prince of Wei?

He told me personally. He said you have...

...come out with a great idea to defeat the Turks.

He's so arrogant these days!

I just wanted to make merits.

His Majesty has entitled me as a general...

...and a Duke.

The battle is critical now.

I should contribute, right?

If not, I'll be reprimanded for not doing anything...

...and getting paid for nothing.

Yun Ye, when have you started to care about your reputation?

People will talk. -No.

Are you facing some problems? You may tell me.

Don't seek help from Qingque. -I'm fine.

You must be hiding something from me.

Do you want to keep your distance with me, Duke Yun?

I have no rights to stop you but...

...have you ever thought that we will become rivals?

Your Highness, you sounded too serious.

Xinyue is here. Greet the Crown Prince, Xinyue.

Greetings, Your Highness. Leave. -Yes.

How are you? -Madam.

Sorry for welcoming Your Highness late.

Don't be courteous, madam. -Have a seat, Your Highness.

I shall take my leave to prepare the dinner.

Please have a seat, Your Highness. -Okay.

Sugar people! Miss, do you want to buy sugar people?

Mother, I want sugar people! -Do you want to buy one?

How much is it? -It's 50 cash.

What? It's too expensive!

Sugar people!

Sugar people!

You won't stay for dinner? -No. I have something on.

I shall make a move first.

Have a safe journey, Your Highness.

Let's go back to eat, grandma.

See you, Your Highness. -Take care of yourself.

Your Highness is rather busy with the state matters.

I shall take care of myself. No worries.

All of you are skilful craftsmen in Chang'an.

Making the new weapon...

...is a great contribution to Great Tang.

All of you will be given credits after I win the battle.

All of you are commoners. It's a rare chance for you...

...to make an achievement and repay to His Majesty.

Duke Yun of Lantian. -Here I am.

You'll be in charge of this place from now onwards. Do your best...

...and no mistake is allowed. -Yes.

Have a safe journey, Prince of Wei.

Thank you, everyone.

Thank you?

Are we Li family's dogs?

Don't say that. There's someone who wants to meet you.

Lady? -Lady?

Lady? You're still alive.

Thank god that you're still alive.

I'm sorry, Uncle Shen.

Brother Gongshu and I didn't mean to hide from all of you.

I have to cover my identity. When we exchange information,...

...I'm afraid to expose my identity. I'm so sorry.

It doesn't matter as long as you're still alive.

Anlan, why do you want to work for Li family?

I'm not working for him. There are things which...

...I still need his help.

The imperial court needs a batch of explosives for the battle.

We gather everyone here to make the explosives.

I can't tell the reason yet...

...but you're the ones who can help me now. Thank you.

You'll understand my intention eventually.

Stop explaining, Anlan. We shall follow your orders.

Yes. -Yes.

Come.

Are you satisfied with your room?

Why did you come in since you know it's my room?

It can't be considered as your room, too.

This place is great.

There are many Mohists and the uncles.

It feels like home.

It's been a long time since you were so happy.

Lan'er, I shall give you a home after you revenge.

If I have to support those men,...

...I shall give a second thought.

They are all skilful craftsmen. They don't need your support.

I shall ask them to support me. -Shameless.

I have no idea...

...when we can lead a good life.

Don't worry, Lan'er. We're in the palace now.

The most important matter now is to find Gao Shilian.

However, the palace is so big and everywhere is heavily guarded.

It's hard to find a man who is hidden.

It's hard...

...but there is nothing that I can't solve.

Our workshop is not bad, right? Let's do it fast.

Let me divide the task. I need 3 men...

...to clean the gauze and 4 men to be in charge of the distillation.

The rest of you will be in charge of the assembly.

I know you're good.

You may divide the tasks among yourself based on your strength.

Alright, let's start.....

Let me divide the tasks. -Okay.

Come.

You'll be in charge of this. -They are still angry...

...about the past but they have to work for the royals now,...

...so they're still reluctant. I hope you don't mind.

I understand. I've expected it.

There is nothing which I can't solve with a meal.

Please come in.

What a sumptuous meal.

Let's dig in.

Let me introduce it. We call it fast food.

There are braised pig's trotters, fried shrimps, braise pork,...

...fish with vinegar sauce and vegetables.

You may refill it if it's not enough. Have a seat.

That's fruit juice.

You can drink the juice with the straw.

It's sweet. -Put it down.

There are rice and steamed roll, too.

Give me one. -Give me a bowl.

Give me one. -Well.....

Give me one. -I shall eat the rice.

No, well.....

Why don't you try it as it's tasty? Give it a try.

Why don't they eat these? -I forgot to tell you.

We Mohists are weird.

You can't bribe them with a meal.

Let's eat on our own.

I'm from the Mohists, too.

It's tasty. I shall eat all these by myself.

I shall eat these by myself.

It's so tasty!

You missed the good stuff here.

Your Highness. -Chengqian.

You may leave first. -Yes.

Yue'er.

Why did you choose such a remote place?

When can we stop meeting in dark?

I understand. Please wait for me.

I've been planning it.

I can make my own decision soon.

By then, I shall hold the grandest ceremony...

...to marry you. I shall let everyone know that...

...you are the only woman who I love.

I'm just a sinner.

The attention of the world will only make me stressed.

If it's possible, I just want to give everything up for you...

...and stay by your side to cook for you.

Have you regretted?

Why would I regret since it's my fate?

I know you're sad.

I've been thinking of you...

...and how your life is these days.

I'll protect you in the future...

...from fears. -No, we're protecting each other.

I know you're working in danger...

...and may lose your life anytime.

No matter what problem you face in the future, let me know...

...and I shall figure it out with you.

You've sacrificed a lot.

You just have to stay in Yun manor and wait for my good news.

I'd be worried about you...

...all the time. How could I rest my mind?

Alright, let's face the future together.

Why did you look for Brother Yun yesterday?

Is he hiding something from you?

I heard that Yun Ye has come out...

...with a solution for Li Tai to deal the Turks.

They're preparing for it. Li Tai has been wanting to replace me.

If he wins the battle, he'll be a threat for me.

I just want to know their plan...

...so that I can deal with it. -Brother Yun has moved to...

...the palace. However, no one knows the exact location.

No worries. I can find it out by sending the food.

No, it could be in the military area.

It's too dangerous. -Don't worry about me.

I'm going in the name of Mrs. Yun. No one will suspect me.

I'm the only one who can go there. -Yue'er, I don't want you...

...to take the risk. -Chengqian, don't you get it?

We're sharing fate.

We're just the same.

Promise me. No matter what it is,...

...don't hurt Brother Yun. -No worries.

Yun Ye is our life saviour and my brother.

I won't hurt him.

What's this?

It was made by Duke Yun. It's called Rubik's Cube.

Well, Rubik's Cube.

How do you play it?

I have no idea but we have to put the same colour and pattern...

...to the same side to solve it.

What's so difficult?

It's wrong. -Right.

What's this? -It was made by Duke Yun.

How do we play this? -Put the same colour...

...and the same pattern on the same side to solve it.

It's easy. -Give it a try.

You can't take it out. You have to turn it.

Why didn't you say earlier? -Turn the red one first.

It takes time. Do it slowly.

What's this? -Do you know what Rubik's Cube is?

Rubik's Cube? -Rubik's Cube.

We have to turn the same colour to the same side.

Let me try.

It's wrong. -Try it out, Xiao Jing.

Let me try. -Xiao Jing...

...can do it. -No.

Don't bite it. -Stop it.

Don't bite it. -You have to turn it.

What are they doing? Take a look. -Let's have a look.

Turn it around. Look at the top.

There is no solution to it.

There is no solution? -Let me try.

No one can do it if Gongshu Jing can't.

Xiao Jing, solve it.

Who says I can't? I can solve it!

It's wrong. -Are you up to it?

Give it to me.

Come here. Come and have a look.

Have a look. What's this?

There are 6 sides and each side has a colour.

Hold on. What are you trying to do?

I don't understand you. Are you making fun of us?

It's just a trick, right?

He's great!

He's great! -It's solved.

Duke Yun is brilliant.

Yes. -You.....

Don't go! -Ask him to teach us!

Please teach me!

Tell me about it, rascal!
