Episode 32

Hurry.

Take him down. -Noted!

Your Highness, an assassin has sneaked into the palace.

We've set up a curfew. Soldiers are sent to East Palace.

Please don't walk around, Your Highness.

Where was the assassin found?

He was found at the side palace. -I got it.

What's wrong with the loud noise just now?

Please have a look, Your Highness. It seems to be Mountain Yu.

There were explosions. Something happened at Mountain Yu.

Hurry and check it out.

If there's anything, report to me immediately.

Don't leave out any details. -Noted.

Who is there? Come out!

Sister?

Is that really you?

Sister, you're alive. -Chengqian,...

...help me save someone. I'll explain to you afterwards.

Alright. -Your Highness,...

...General Wang has caught the assassin. He's waiting for orders.

Don't worry. You can hide now. Leave this to me.

Bring him in.

Greetings, Your Highness.

What happened? -Your Highness,...

...General Wang caught the assassin, but when he was...

...interrogated, he ate the poison hidden in his mouth.

When I got there, he died. -What did you say?

Did you say he's dead? -Yes.

I got it. Bring him down. -Noted.

Brother Yun, you're finally awake. This is great.

Where am I? -A campsite below Mountain Yu.

Are the others alive? -Most of them are alive.

This explosion has involved a lot of people.

Prince of Wei got injured, too. He's still under treatment.

I want water, too. -Thank you.

It's fine.

You just woke up. You must rest. -I've recovered.

Come. Release it.

Come. Get up and take some medicine.

Thank you. -Are you sure you want to come?

Come.

Eat slowly. -Be careful.

My leg. -Be careful.

Here you go. -Thank you.

If I had noticed earlier,...

...this wouldn't have happened. -No.

Brother Yun, we can't blame you.

If you didn't save us, I'm afraid more people would've been dead.

The fire precaution facilities at Mountain Yu should be good.

This fire started too suddenly.

It's suspicious. I suspected that this is not an accident.

Someone may have burnt the place and caused the explosion.

There are people patrolling Mountain Yu every day.

So, this culprit...

...is probably assisted by someone among us.

That person came from outside.

Xinyue, did you come to Mountain Yu in a carriage?

Yes, he left after he sent me.

Do you remember this weird person who ran in the opposite...

...direction when everyone was running out?

I..... I don't remember.

Xinyue, you don't look good.

If you don't feel well, you can return and rest.

Could it be Xinyue?

Forget it. I'll look for Lan'er first.

Lan'er, please be safe.

Sister, don't worry. I'll ask them to bury him properly.

Thank you.

Does Yun Ye know that you're not dead?

You two made me miserable with this secret.

I only want to find out the murderer who killed my mother.

I have no other choice. -You went to the side palace.

Do you think your mother's death is related to State Duke Shen?

Chengqian, I don't want to drag you into this.

Just pretend that you didn't see me today.

Wait.

Do you know that Gao Shilian is no longer in the palace?

What did you say? -Father brought him to the...

...royal tombs to protect him.

The palace is only a trap set by father.

Indeed.

He's siding State Duke Shen.

There must be something wrong.

State Duke Shen is my uncle.

He has the support of the whole Zhangsun family of Guanlong.

Also, he's been loyal to father.

Father only cares about power and status.

If my uncle...

...is really the culprit for killing your mother,...

...father won't punish him easily because of...

...his power in the palace.

You sound reasonable, but aren't you from Zhangsun family?

Since I was born, I feel more like a puppet...

...that was controlled by father and Zhangsun family.

I held it in. I suppressed it.

I tried my best to become the Crown Prince they want me to be.

What did I get in the end?

I can only look at the woman I love the most...

...got married to my best friend and lost my sister's trust to me.

Now I may be replaced by my brother by blood.

What exactly did I get? -Chengqian.

Since you think that the world is unfair, too,...

...why not we work together and change the world?

Why did you say that? Do you plan to commit treason?

Chengqian, you're crazy. -It's the power...

...that makes people crazy.

Sister, don't you have the same pain I felt?

As long as father is the Emperor, Gao Shilian can live peacefully.

If that's not the case, why did you have to risk your life?

Why did your partner sacrifice his life for nothing?

Why not we plan our way out?

I promise you. If I become the Emperor, I'll change all of this.

I'll let you kill Gao Shilian on your own,...

...and avenge your mother's death.

I know that you can't make a decision now.

If you don't want to help me,...

...I won't force you. -I can't promise you now...

...but I promise that I won't tell anyone other than you and I.

Chengqian, think properly. You can still turn back now.

But once you start doing it, there's no turning back.

The arrow is on the bow.

It must be shot.

Since you've made your decision, I won't say much.

Take care.

You, too.

I'm leaving. -Wait.

Take this token.

I'll get you some clothes. You can exit the palace safely.

This is such a coincidence.

I just left Chang'an,...

...and two major incidents happened.

Please calm down, Your Majesty. What made you so angry?

This is a message from Chengqian. You can have a look.

Well.....

Your Majesty has anticipated the assassin in the palace...

...but who'd have known that Mountain Yu will.....

Wushe.

I'm here. -Pass my orders.

Let Chang He come to the royal tombs to see me.

Your Majesty, General Chang He has been waiting outside.

He came quite early. Let him in. -Noted.

Summon Chang He!

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Chang He, tell me.

The arsenal in Mountain Yu is gone and Prince of Wei is injured.

If the front line loses, who's responsible for it?

Your Majesty, let me explain. -What's there to explain?

You can't even guard Mountain Yu. -Please calm down, Your Majesty.

Hao Bin is one of my soldiers in charge of guarding the mountain.

He has failed his task and disappointed you. I've killed him.

I took Your Majesty's orders and was guarding outside Chang'an.

I was not at Mountain Yu to stop what had happened.

I didn't arrange my soldiers well. I should be blamed.

I hope Your Majesty can forgive me with my effort before this.

You may rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Leave your head here with me for now.

I'm forming an imperial order for you now.

You must follow my orders without making any more mistakes.

Noted, Your Majesty!

Come on. -Come on.

The water is here. -Be careful.

Have some water. -Thank you.

Help me.

Be careful. -Have you seen Duke Yun?

No.

Carry him here. Then go and get some medicine.

Alright. -Alright. Hurry up.

Come. Apply some medicine. -Yun Ye.

Sorry.

Physician, come and have a look at him.

Brother Yun, have you found any clues?

Duke Yun, please stay. -General Zhang?

I've received orders to capture everyone related to...

...the explosion and put them in Court of Judicial Review.

Duke Yun, please follow me.

This way.

General Zhang, you can take me. You don't have to take my wife.

I can't defy orders. I'm sorry, Duke Yun and Mrs. Yun.

We must wait for His Majesty to return. This way.

Don't worry. We'll find a way.

Minister of revenue,...

...how's the preparation of the matter on Mountain Yu?

People and resources have been arranged for that.

They can move to Mountain Yu immediately.

Also, Prince of Wei is injured badly.

Bring him back to the palace for treatment. Do you understand?

Noted.

The imperial order is here!

Your Highness shall receive the order.

Please forgive me, master.

Everything was fine, but Yun Ye was at Mountain Yu.

He saved Lu Xinyue and Li Tai. I wanted to kill him, too,...

...but the explosion happened and it was chaotic.

I lost my best chance to do it.

I was worried that I'll be exposed, so I left.

Although Mountain Yu was exploded,...

...Xinyue and Li Tai are alive. How dare you come and see me?

If you make another mistake,...

...this arrow won't only be aiming for your hat.

I understand. -Did you find out about Xiaomei?

It's still under investigation. -I'm giving you 3 days.

You may go now. -Noted.

We should live our days normally.

The Emperor of Great Tang has given orders.

Assassination happened in the palace. Mountain Yu exploded.

The 2 cases involve the safety of our country.

The Crown Prince should act according to the rules.

When I return, I'll do the interrogations.

Ke Wu Yuan will be closed down from today onwards.

All bomb making will be forbidden.

General Chang He will...

...take full charge and settle the matter on Mountain Yu.

He will also arrange for soldiers to guard outside Chang'an...

...to supervise and check on suspicious people.

Your Highness, please accept the orders.

I'll obey the orders and guard outside the city.

If you have any orders, please let me know.

Thank you, general. -I still have other tasks.

I'll leave now. -Alright.

What are you looking at? Go in.

Brother. -What's it?

The weather has gone cold at night. Can you ask someone...

...to bring me some blankets from home?

I can let them know that I'm safe, too.

What do you think this place is? This is the jail of the royals.

Don't think that you can order me with that little money.

You must not be amazed with these little things,...

...but if you can pass my message back to Yun manor,...

...there must be a good reward from my family.

Don't tell me you're Yun Ye, Duke Yun.

Yes, that's me.

I didn't know.

I almost offended the God of Fortune. Please don't blame me.

How did the name God of Fortune come about?

Didn't you invent mah-jong?

Are there some tricks to win money from it?

To be honest, there's really a secret in playing mah-jong.

With the secret, you can win even with bad tiles.

I knew it.

Since you asked me to run some errands,...

...of course I would do it, but I.....

I haven't passed anyone this secret.

If you're willing to help me out,...

...I don't mind passing the secret to you.

No problem. It's only getting a blanket and sending a message.

That's right. -There's no problem with it.

Then hurry up and tell me. -Alright. Listen carefully.

Never take the first round. The chicken must be in pairs.

Why can't I take the first round?

This chant must be understood in the process of playing.

You must eat the rice slowly or you'll get choked.

That's right. -So please go to my manor for me.

Tell my sister, Xiao Nan to ask Wang Cai to bring me a blanket.

Alright. I'm going now.

Never take the first round. Don't use the chicken.

Brother.

The gate.

Thank you for teaching, Duke Yun.

Qian'er,...

...as a ruler, you must have moral and ethics,...

...work hard for the political affairs and love your people.

You're inheriting the Emperor's position in the future.

Running political affairs is what you should learn.

The reason your father asked you to supervise is to test you.

Remember not to be lazy. -I know. I'll remember that.

I wonder how's Qingque's injury.

The physician visits Qingque every day. He's fine now.

That's good. Luckily Qingque is fine...

...after the explosion at Mountain Yu.

Qian'er, with your father's temper,...

...he won't let Qingque go. No matter what he did wrong,...

...he's your brother by blood.

If father asks about it, you must help him.

Yes, I understand.

Qian'er,...

...I'd like to see Qingque.

You haven't recovered. You must rest well.

Let's wait for father to return.

I'm just..... -I know.

I'll take good care of Qingque.

Father loves Qingque. He'll surely forgive him.

Mother, it's getting late.

I won't disturb you anymore. Please take care of yourself.

Rest well.

I'll leave now.

The Empress is not feeling well. She needs to rest.

Without my permission, no one can disturb her.

Noted!

Sir, have you seen this person?

No, I haven't.

Sir, have you seen this person?

No, I haven't. -Have you seen this person before?

No, I haven't.

Let me go!

Why did you bring me here?

I've ordered to put everyone related to Mountain Yu...

...in the Court of Judicial Review.

As the main person in charge, you should be interrogated, too.

I've reported to father. The father made orders...

...for you to stay indoors and wait for orders.

If it's father's order, why is there no official decree?

I'm supervising the country now.

My orders are the official decree.

What are you laughing at? -I'm happy,...

...but I think it's funny. -Are you crazy?

I'm happy that my plan has finally worked.

The funny thing is that I've harmed myself.

What do you mean? -Are you jeopardising me...

...because you think that I want to fight for your position?

You all may leave. -Noted.

What do you want to say?

I didn't fight for father's attention...

...and compete with you for myself.

I did it for you, Your Highness. I don't want to see you...

...ruining your future because of a woman.

Why should I believe you?

You're being ambitious now. Everyone knows.

Now you failed. So, you want to cover up your ambition.

It's too late.

Brother,...

...among all the princes in the palace,...

...you and I are the closest.

I've been taking you as my role model.

When did I ever want to compete with you?

I did everything to build up your determination.

Don't you understand? -Shut up!

Don't think that if you're acting, I'll let you go.

If I knew this,...

...I would've killed that woman.

What made you think that you can control me?

If you ever dare touch Xinyue, I'll destroy you.

Brother,...

...I just want to ask you this.

Did you order what happened on Mountain Yu?

Did you plan to kill me?

Come, my men!

We're here. -Brother!

Bring Prince of Wei down! -Noted!

Brother, wake up! Brother!

I'm coming.

The pharmacy is closed. If it's not an emergency,...

...come again tomorrow. -Please have a look.

This is my sister. She went missing a few days ago.

Have you seen her?

I haven't seen her. -You did.

No, I didn't. -Sir!

No. -Have you seen her?

No, you may go. -Sir!

Your Highness, the wind is strong at night. Don't get sick.

Let's go in.

I'm not feeling cold.

I heard the conversation between Your Highness and Empress mother.

If Your Highness feel uneasy...

...hiding the matter of grounding Prince of Wei,...

...why not tell mother about it?

This can avoid mother...

...blaming Your Highness after knowing.

I understand your good intention,...

...but you better not interfere with my matter.

This is good for both of us.

I understand.

Your Highness.

I'm leaving now.

Your Highness, Lady Xinyue is imprisoned.

Wang Cai, over here.

That's right.

You're my good brother.

You're my good Wang Cai, my good brother. I know you'll come.

Help me do something. -I'm leaving.

Don't go, my brother.

I'll give you something nice to eat when I return.

I don't want.

Why not I find a female parrot for you?

I don't want. -What if I pay you?

I don't want. -That's enough.

Are you here to make fun of me? I'm in a rush looking for Lan'er.

Help me. If you don't,...

...I'll cook you after I get out.

I want everything. -You're quite greedy, aren't you?

Alright. This will do. It's a deal.

Remember. I'll reward you after I get out.

Your Highness, what orders do you have?

Pass my orders. Everyone shall wait outside.

No one can come in without my permission.

Noted.

Yue'er. -Chengqian.

I haven't heard of you. I thought that.....

I'm sorry. -It's good that you're fine.

It's good that you're fine.

Yue'er, you should've left Mountain Yu according to the plan.

Why did you stay there?

I wanted to leave, but Brother Yun was there.

It was because of him that we managed to escape.

It looks like Qingque is alive because of him.

Brother Yun might be suspecting me.

Does he know our plan?

He still doesn't know that the explosion is related to you.

Leave this to me.

Yue'er,...

...sorry that you have to stay here because of us.

I promise you that...

...I'll let the pain disappear very soon.

Who'd have thought that it'll be you.

Thank you for saving Xinyue. -You're welcome.

It's father's intention to imprison you all.

I'll think of a way to get you all out.

It's not bad staying here, just that the food is bad.

No one lies here though.

I can even watch the moon calmly.

I think it's quite nice. -I'm supervising the country now.

I can't leave myself out of everything like you.

Mountain Yu exploded. Father closed down Ke Wu Yuan.

Without the bombs, the frontline is in danger.

I've received 12 requests for help from the frontline today.

Father can't return to the palace because of mourning.

If the frontline fails,...

...and Turks attack us, by that time,...

...Great Tang will be in danger.

Then what do you plan to do? -Even if I must disobey father,...

...I must win this war. You must help me.

How do I help you? -Give me the bomb formula.

I'll then be able to solve this problem.

The bomb formula is destroyed in the fire.

I've experienced the explosion of Mountain Yu myself.

I don't want it to happen again.

I'm sorry. I can't help you.

I got it.

Chengqian,...

...you better be careful.

Sir, is it nice? -Yes.

How is it? -It's nice.

It's nice. -Come on.

Come on.

This dance is nice.

Sir, come. -I'm here, too.

Drink. -Huang Shu, 1,000 sycees.

Have some grapes. -Huang Shu, 1,000 sycees.

What bird is that? It's so cute.

This thing talks. -It's good at talking.

Huang Shu, 1,000 sycees. -What did it say?

Huang Shu? -What's Huang Shu?

Huang Shu is god. -Did you say god?

What's god? Say it again. -Go away.

Sir, what's wrong? -Don't be angry.

Scram!

Huang Shu, 1,000 sycees. -Shut up. Why are you here, brat?

Is this somewhere you should be? You should look for a female bird.

Huang Shu, 1,000 sycees.

Don't lie to me.

The Duke in your house is cunning.

Will he give me 1,000 sycees?

He'll feel bad. -Huang Shu, 1,000 sycees.

Huang Shu, 1,000 sycees. -Is it real?

Where is it? -Huang Shu, 1,000 sycees.

Let's go. -1,000 sycees.

Sister, when did you come in?

A while ago. Where did you go?

I went to the Court of Judicial Review. I saw Yun Ye.

Is he doing good? -He's still fine,...

...but father won't let him go after he returns.

Prince of Wei is injured by the bomb. It'll be a death sentence.

This is an accident though. -He can't bear the consequences.

He made the bomb. The accident happened. Who's responsible?

Have you made up your mind?

Alright. I'll help you,...

...but I have 2 requests.

Firstly, don't drag Yun Ye into this.

I don't want him to get hurt.

Secondly, you must release all the Mohists.

Send them out of Chang'an. -Alright.

I promise you.

Get this. -Come on. Let's go.

Uncle, are you holding food?

You little rascal.

How did you know it's food? -I smelled it.

Where did the sachet come from? -Do you mean this one?

This is from a granny at Daxing Street.

Grandpa Sun said that granny's eyes are bad...

...and asked us to help her. The granny is nice.

I'm close with her so she gave me this.

Uncle, do you want a sachet, too?

I do have a sachet.

Give it to me. -Why are you not eating?

I want to save the dessert for Sister Xinyue's deceased friend.

I heard she died horribly. -Did you say Sister Xinyue?

What's her friend's name? -I don't know.

Where is she buried? -I'm not sure.

Let's eat. -Let's eat.

Hao Hao.

Hao Hao. -Master, I'm here.

What are you doing? -I was talking to a man.

Let's go in. Come on.

I'm giving your dessert back, Sister Xinyue's friend.

Why is it the Court of Judicial Review again?

I can't do this. I can't.

2,000 sycees.

I'll die because of this.

3,000 sycees.

Why not I try? Just try.

Master.

I've found the lady.

Does she know she has a home? Ask her to see me now.

I want to..... I want to punish her severely.

She.....

What happened to Xiaomei?

Who did it? -It may be Lu Xinyue.

Where's the Crown Prince? -I don't know.

Where's Lu Xinyue now?

She's imprisoned in the Court of Judicial Review.

Find it out. I don't care what method you use.

Find me the evidence. -Noted. I'll do it right away.

It's fine. We're home.

Aright. We're home.

It's fine now. Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

When you were a baby,...

...I always held you like this when you cried.

Then you'd stop,...

...and you'd fall asleep.

My daughter,...

...I feel so bad!

I won't cry.

I won't cry.

My daughter,...

...I won't let go of anyone who did this to you.

I want them...

...to hope for their own death.

I want them...

...to hope for their own death.

Hold it right there.

What are you doing?

You came at this hour. Do you want to starve me to death?

Why is Lady Du not here today?

I'm asking you!

Is he deaf?

Let's eat. -Let's go.

Let's eat. I'm starving.

There's chicken.

Is there more?

Lady Du makes such tasty dishes.

Why is she so ugly? -Do you still want to eat?

Let's eat. -I wonder what's this old man's...

...relationship with Lady Du.

This silly bird said it's here. Why is there no one?

Why didn't you knock on the door? How rude.

It's you?

If I knew I'll be saving you, not to say 3,000 sycees,...

...I won't come even if it's 5,000.

Did the silly bird give you 3,000?

I'll leave if there's nothing else then.

Don't go since you're here. Come and have a seat.

It hurts.

Go there. Wait over there. Go.

Who are you? Why do you have the keys to the jail?

Lady Xinyue, it's me. -It's you?

What are you doing here?

The Crown Prince heard that someone wants to kill you.

We're running out of time. Please get changed, Lady Xinyue.

I'll explain after we leave here safely.
