Episode 31

Finally, Duke Yun. -What's the matter?

The progress of making the explosives is too slow.

It can't meet our needs.

Don't be panic, Your Highness. I'm trying to improve it.

How's your progress? -If we use the new recipe,...

...the new explosive is more powerful than the previous one...

...and the time to make it is reduced.

If that's the case, why don't you start producing it?

The more powerful it is, the more dangerous it is.

I haven't figured it out how to put the safety bar.

It's time for lunch.

It's time for lunch. Stop your work first.

Come on. -It's time for lunch.

It's time for lunch. -Come on.

Let's talk over there. -Come on. Help me.

Let's go. -What are we eating?

Eat more. -Eat more.

These are all my favourites. -Eat more.

Sure.

Your Highness have no idea.

If we produce it without the safety precautions,...

...it may cause an accident.

It's not worth it. -Today's menu is good.

Are we giving up just for fear for a mistake?

Let me try yours. -Eat more.

We can find some people to produce it separately.

As long as we can produce the explosives,...

...it doesn't matter to sacrifice some folks.

Don't take all. Keep some of them for me.

Let's not talk about that first.

Do Your Highness still remember what we promise His Majesty?

I have to take the responsibility if something happens.

The same goes to Your Highness, right?

Yue'er?

This chicken is good. -Greetings, Your Highness.

Save the formalities, Mrs. Yun.

Duke Yun, bear what I said in mind.

I shall wait for your reply.

I shall try my best.

Why did you come all the way here? -I'm here to send you food.

I have food here and it's tiring for you to send the food.

Brother Yun, let me send you food before grandma starts nagging me.

I'm just worrying about you. -Hurry up. Finish them...

...so that my effort wouldn't be wasted.

Go back first. It's not convenient for you to stay here.

Did Li Tai see you? -No.

He'll be staying here so make sure you don't wander around.

I know.

What's happened to your hands?

I'm fine. -Why are they so cold?

I'm fine. -Did you do dishes in the kitchen?

I asked you to pretend as a chef. Why did you do the dishes?

I have to make it real.

Moreover, there are less people in the kitchen. I like to stay there.

I feel more secured.

Have you taken your meal? Let me get something for you.

It's okay. I've eaten the food that Xinyue sent.

Since you have a wife, you despise the food here.

It's ridiculous. Tell me who my wife is.

If you get it wrong, I shall deduct your salary.

Who cares about the money?

Once everything is settled, I think you should find a new chef.

Fine, you may just rest your mind...

...and be my wife by then.

How's the progress of the matter that I told you?

We've just moved here. Don't worry about it.

I shall give you an answer regarding Gao Shilian's matter.

We must investigate properly to avoid any mistake.

What nonsense are you talking about? I'm telling the truth.

Fine, my wife is right.

Give me your hands.

I've been thinking in the past few days.

Since we've chosen this path,...

...we shall just rise up.

My grandfather used to say that...

...those who want to carry their duties out...

...must fight with others. I didn't understand in the past...

...but now only I know that...

...if we keep on tolerating, the villain will get his way...

...and we'll be bullied by him, too.

Your Highness are wise.

I don't want to see you in a terrible state one day.

Yue'er, you're not only my love, but my soulmate, too.

No worries. I shall not be depressed anymore.

I shall be wise as you wish. However,...

...why did you mention it suddenly?

I went to where Brother Yun makes explosives yesterday.

It's in Mountain Yu. I saw Li Tai there.

It's in Mountain Yu and Li Tai was there, too.

It seems that he's staying there.

I didn't expect that Li Tai is such a despicable Prince...

...and he could be in charge of the important mission.

How many explosives do they have? -They involve the soldiers, too.

I went to the arsenal and there are around 100 explosives.

Qingque is working hard on it. I think...

...he's going to make use of this chance to replace me.

I can't ignore it anymore.

Don't worry about it. I shall deal with it.

You just have to take care of yourself.

Is Yun Ye still putting his guard on you?

Did Your Majesty ask him to stop investigating on Xuanwumen?

He won't listen to me.

I'm just afraid that he'll create more troubles.

He still wants to seek revenge for Anlan and her mother.

He's very devoted to Anlan. I'm not worried about him.

However,...

...since you didn't plan the incident of the token,...

...the mastermind behind it.....

Your Majesty,...

...what are you trying to say?

The culprit will expose his identity soon.

The workshops are ready and the craftsmen are working on it.

Your Majesty may rest your mind. -Good.

Once the explosives are done, I shall reward all of you.

The Crown Prince is very hardworking these days...

...and has helped me settle many things.

I'm very happy to have both of you.

It's just our duty.

I shall leave the court a few days later...

...to Xianling to mourn the late Emperor Emeritus.

All the officials have to stay in the court.

The Crown Prince will be the regent...

...to replace me for my duty.

Yes, father.

Dismiss.

Have a safe journey, Your Majesty.

Lu Xinyue told me that...

...Li Tai is staying in Mountain Yu to produce explosives.

They have about 100 explosives now.

If Li Tai brings the explosives to the battlefield,...

...he'll surely win the battle. Once he wins the battle,...

...his status will be higher in the court...

...and he owns the military troops, too.

Did anyone come in your mind? -Who are you talking about?

I'm talking about Prince of Qin.

Do you mean my father? -By then,...

...Your Highness may be the same as the previous Crown Prince.

No, I'm not Li Jiancheng.

I won't let the same thing happen again.

Therefore, we should get rid of him soon.

Since Your Highness are the regent,...

...we shall make use of the explosives to kill Li Tai.

After that, you may tell His Majesty that...

...an accident happens during the production...

...and Prince of Wei is killed in it.

No one will suspect you.

No, we can't do that.

He's my younger brother!

Li Jiancheng is the brother of Prince of Qin, too.

There is no kinship in the royal family.

Your Highness have to act fast to get the throne.

If not, Your Highness will be killed in the end.

Li Jiancheng lost because he was too soft-hearted.

This is the best opportunity for us.

Your Highness shouldn't miss the chance...

...and follow Li Jiancheng's footstep.

Even though that's the case,...

...our men couldn't enter Mountain Yu.

Don't you have a spy in Mountain Yu?

Are you talking about Lu Xinyue?

We can't do that. She's only a woman.

How can we involve her in such a dangerous matter?

She doesn't have to do it by herself.

She just has to bring a spy who pretends as a wheeler...

...to Mountain Yu. After she leaves there,...

...the spy will ignite the explosives.

I have my plan to settle it.

That's great.

Do you want to get rid of Lu Xinyue, master?

I've planned to get rid of her as I'm sending her to Mountain Yu.

She has known too many things.

Moreover, she's Yun Ye's wife.

If she betrays us,...

...our plan will be gone.

Will His Highness suspect you?

He's the one who sends the spy. He won't suspect me.

You'll kill the spy first...

...and replace Lu Xinyue to ignite the explosives in Mountain Yu.

Li Shimin will send his troops to save them if he knows it.

Then, you kill Lu Xinyue at the passage that they'll pass by...

...to make it seems like she's killed by the troops.

Then...

...Li Chengqian won't suspect us...

...and he'll hate Li Shimin even more.

I got it now.

Cheers. -Cheers.

Good wine! Duke Yun's wine is so good!

I've never drunk...

...such good wine in my life.

Thank you, general. I've found the right person to taste it.

Cheers.

You're bold and forthright. You must have contribute a lot.

No wonder His Majesty thinks highly of you.

Please help me in the future if I offend His Majesty.

I didn't contribute much.

If it wasn't because.....

No matter what it is, my contribution...

...is definitely less than General Cheng and the others.

I don't have any ambition. -Are you sure?

His Majesty thinks highly of you. Mountain Yu is an important place.

If you're not trusted, why would His Majesty let you guard here?

The trusted official of the late Emperor Emeritus,...

...State Duke Shen was by His Majesty's side, too,...

...to fight with Li Jiancheng's army.

State Duke Shen didn't fight with him.

Once he knew Prince of Qin lost power, he entered the palace...

...without sending the troops to save Prince of Qin.

You mean he entered the palace after Prince of Qin had lost?

It's all in the past. Let's stop talking about it.

Let's drink! -Sure!

Let's just enjoy ourselves today!

That's great!

Come! Cheers!

Good wine.

Come.

Let's drink.

General Chang,...

...who am I?

Your Majesty!

Greetings, Your Majesty!

Look again who I am.

Who are you?

I'm State Duke Shen.

It's you, State Duke Shen!

What brings you here?

I heard that you were talking nonsense here.

You said that I didn't contribute at all...

...and I only reached Xuanwumen after Prince of Qin had lost.

I don't agree with you! -State Duke Shen,...

...stop pretending in front of me.

I was the one who let you enter the palace.

You entered the palace before the Mohists were there.

You mean that.....

Before the Mohists were there,...

...I had entered the palace? -Yes.

Did you see clearly? -I was standing at the tower...

...and I saw it clearly.

State Duke Shen,...

...you're old now.

It's impossible. -If that was the case,...

...why couldn't my father explain it to me?

I don't understand him, too, but I still can't figure it out.

However, General Chang has no reason to lie to me.

You told me that...

...my father trusts him the most.

He must be on my father's side.

How can we prove that his words are true?

They might have colluded.

Well.....

Wine is the mirror of the mind. Your father trusts him,...

...but he doesn't have to lie for Gao Shilian's sake.

Even though his words are true,...

...how do you explain my father's act?

How could I believe that Gao Shilian is not the murderer?

Whatever it is, you must stay calm.

Don't enter the palace again.

Discuss with me before taking any action.

Don't worry, I won't do that. I'm trapped in Mountain Yu now.

You'll be in trouble if I leave.

I shall wait until we leave here.

Okay.

Everything is normal in Mountain Yu for the past two days.

Nothing happened except that Li Tai went to supervise them.

Yue'er, father has assigned me to be the regent.

Really? Since your status has become more stable,...

...shall we rest our mind for a while?

No.

We're facing a great threat now.

Are you talking about Li Tai? -Yes.

You have to do me a favour.

I know it's difficult for you but we don't have other choice.

What's it? -Bring a man to Mountain Yu.

What do you want him to do? -I want him to kill Li Tai.

No way.

Yue'er, didn't you say that Li Tai is despicable?

Didn't you say that you don't want me to be bullied by him?

However, he's your brother. -Did he ever respect me?

He'll get rid of me if I don't kill him now.

We shouldn't continue our mistake anymore.

It's okay if you don't want to help me.

What's this? -It's used to move the table.

Prince of Wei, we've got the news.

I shall take my leave first.

Sister Xu Feng, I forgot to take the ladle.

Please hold it for me. I shall go back to take it.

What's the news? -As the regent,...

...the Crown Prince sends his men to monitor your manor...

...and he is well aware of their whereabouts.

I was so nice to him.

Never did I expect that he'll put his guard on me.

What are you going to do?

The most important matter now is to produce the explosives.

Father gave me the mission. He has no right to interfere.

What can he do since I own the explosives?

Brother Yun will go home the day after tomorrow.

I shall bring your man to Mountain Yu.

Yue'er, have you agreed to it?

I can't afford to lose anything.

There is no time for us to wait.

Sister Xinyue, what are you holding?

Sister, I want one more. -Hao Hao, be good.

The snacks are offerings for my deceased friend.

After the praying ceremony, may I eat the snacks?

I hope that I'm the one who passed away.

You said that we must fight for our happiness...

...but it's too difficult.

If I could turn back time,...

...I hope that I've never been to Chang'an.

Sister Xinyue's friend, I take two of your snacks today.

I shall give it back to you in the future.

Who is that? -It's me.

Have a seat. -Why didn't you lit up candles?

Tomorrow is my day off.

I have to go back. I've made something for you.

I wanted to send it to you once I'm done...

...but you're here.

What's it? Let me have a look. -Wait! Hold on.

Didn't you want to show it to me?

There are so many stars.

It's so beautiful.

Let the stars accompany you when I'm not around.

Thank you, Yun Ye.

Are you not happy?

Is it too small? Shall I make a bigger one...

...with more stars to accompany you?

None of the stars can compare with your thought.

Yun Ye, I'm sorry.

Please wait for me to come back.

Duke Yun, where are you going? Duke Yun!

Your Highness, I've settled it. -You'll be rewarded after this.

Yes.

Who are you? Here is the military place.

Those without permission can't go in.

Don't be rude. This is Mrs. Yun's carriage.

Mrs. Yun's carriage? Why didn't I see you before?

Our manor is big. There are many people who you've never seen.

It's indeed Mrs. Yun. I have my duty.

Please pardon me, madam. -Never mind, please open the gate.

You're too courteous, madam. Let them in.

Come.

Lady Xinyue, we're near the arsenal. You should stay here.

It's heavily guarded and dangerous.

Your Highness asked you to wait at the passage.

Don't worry, Lady Xinyue. I shall settle it.

After I'm done, I shall fetch you at the passage.

Fire! -Fire!

Fire! -The water is over there!

Hurry up!

Bring the water! -Hurry!

Come over here! -Hurry!

Hurry! -Send more people here!

Mrs. Yun, are you okay?

I think you've sprained your leg.

It's dangerous here. Please follow me.

Hurry!

Long live, Your Majesty!

It's His Majesty. -I've seen His Majesty.

It's His Majesty. -His Majesty.

I've seen His Majesty. -Yes.

Yes. His Majesty is here.

We've put the bait.

We shall see when we can catch the fish.

The bait that Your Majesty mentioned is.....

It's you. -Me?

Please pardon my foolishness.

Please explain, Your Majesty.

The palace is like the net that I cast.

I leave the palace for mourning...

...but no one knows that you follow me, too.

The security level of the palace has become lower,...

...but the others think that you're still in the palace.

Those who are in the dark will take their action soon.

Your Majesty have made the arrangements in the palace.

Making use of me as the bait to lure the culprit out.

What a good plan it is.

However, do they dare to take action in the palace?

I want to know...

...what they can do when I'm away.

I want to test the Crown Prince, too.

What do you think?

Your Majesty, you're wise.

General, it's safe here.

I think they need more help to put out the fire.

Why don't you make a move first?

However, you..... -General, I'm fine.

Mountain Yu is the military place. If the fire spreads,...

...it may cause a big problem.

You're right. I shall leave now. Madam, please wait here...

...and be careful.

Hurry!

Hurry! Bring the water over there!

Yes! -Be careful!

Hurry!

Come over here! I need another two men!

Brother Yun. -Xinyue, why are you here?

I..... -What's wrong with your leg?

I've sprained it. -Let's go.

Come on. Xinyue, can you still walk?

Go left along this way...

...and you'll see the gate. -Brother Yun, where are you going?

I have to go to the workshop. -Mountain Yu is dangerous now.

We shall leave first.

My craftsmen may still be there. -They may have left with the fire.

I have to confirm it. You should leave first.

Brother Yun, let me follow you.

It's dangerous there. -It may not be safe here, too.

We can't control the fire anymore! -Alright then.

What are you doing? Continue with your work now!

Prince of Wei, it's impossible to put out the fire anymore!

It's going to burn the arsenal soon! Let's leave now!

I've promised father to send the explosives to the battlefield!

It's important! I'll kill you all if we lose an explosive!

Everyone will be dead if we move the explosives now!

Why did you hit him? -Yes.

Your lives mean nothing to me!

Move the explosives now! Those who refuse will be killed!

Did you see my craftsmen?

Tell me! -They're over there!

Brother Yun, what shall we do now?

I have a solution.

Lady Xinyue, we may leave now.

Hurry!

Hurry! Put out the fire!

Yun Ye? -Prince of Wei.

Hurry! It's going to explode soon! Take Prince of Wei away!

Hurry! Take Prince of Wei away!

Where is Anlan? -I didn't see her.

Let's go. -Hurry!

Hurry! -Let's go!

Brother Yun, are you okay? -I'm fine. Let's go.

Brother Yun, what's wrong?

It's okay.

Hurry! -Hurry!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Hurry! -Hurry!

Hurry!

Freeze. I shall kill you if you move.

Are you Gao Shilian's servant?

Where is he?

I shall kill you now if you don't tell me the truth.

Hurry!

Let's go!

There is an assassin!

Catch him! After him! -Yes!

You may leave first. -Thank you.

Hurry and leave!

Why are you here? -I followed you.

We've been surrounded. There is no way for us to leave now.

It's a trap. -Calm down. I have a solution.

Look carefully. Don't let him go.

Look carefully! Don't let him off!

It's over there! Chase after him!

Yes! -Yes!

Hurry!

Bring him back! -Yes!
