Episode 34

Don't you think...

...that this is retribution?

I'm pathetic,...

...hilarious...

...and pitiful.

At least you've done a good deed.

Wang Fu.

Wang Fu.

Wang Fu.

Wang Fu. -I'm here.

I'm here. -What's wrong with you?

I'm fine.

Blood? Has something happened? -Madam,...

...he accidentally hurt himself when he saved you.

He'll be fine.

That's good.

I'm fine. -I'll send you out of the city.

Okay. -Let's go.

Rubbish!

You've let Chen Biao and his mother escape!

You can't even find out the one who saved them!

I don't need people like you! -Please ceased to be angry.

I saw Chen Tong.....

I saw Chen Biao got injured. He'll die...

...if he's not treated in time. As for the one who saved them,...

...I reckon that he works for the Crown Prince.

Send my order.

Enforce a curfew. Search and arrest Chen Biao in secret.

You mustn't miss any medical centres.

Chen Biao has betrayed me. Kill him as you arrest him.

As for the Crown Prince,...

...ask him to go to the abandoned house through a secret letter.

Hire a group of assassins to standby for my order.

Do you mean.....

If he's the one who has saved Chen Biao...

...and he knows that we attempt to murder Lu Xinyue,...

...we can't spare him anymore.

Madam.

I'll send you until here.

You'll be safe after this.

Aren't you coming with me? -I still have something on.

I can't stay here. -I know you're somebody.

There are things that I shouldn't ask,...

...but if something happens to you, go and run.

Don't put on a front.

If you have nowhere to go in the end,...

...remember to come and look for me.

Yes.

Madam,...

...your wax has run out.

Take this new one.

I'm leaving.

Son!

Godmother,...

...you've been treating me like your own son...

...and I've been taking you as my own mother.

Could I call you...

...mother?

Just call me whatever you like,...

...my silly child.

Mother.

Mother!

Madam.

My good son.

Mother.

Leave first.

I'll look for you after I'm done with my matter.

I won't leave. Either living or death,...

...we'll stay together.

You don't need to do this.

Madam, just listen to him.

No, I'm not leaving. We should leave together.

We'll leave...

...together.

Together.

Son.

Son.

Son.

My son.

Your Highness, you've come back finally.

What's happened? -There's news.

Lu Xinyue has been kidnapped from the Court of Judicial Review.

What? -Please ceased to be angry.

I've sent someone to seal the news for now...

...and more men to search the city.

Where's Yun Ye? -He's still in the dungeon.

I'll go and check it out. -Wait, Your Highness.

General Hou has sent over a secret letter.

He entrusted me to hand it to you only.

Your Highness, is it another bad news?

Hou Junji is desperate to see me...

...out of the palace after Xinyue's kidnap.

What a coincidence. -I feel the same as well.

Your Highness better don't go.

Perhaps it's safer to summon General Hou...

...to the palace.

No. It will raise his suspicion...

...if I don't go.

I'll go, but we need to prepare in advance.

Keep this well.

Yue'er, why didn't you eat the food?

You'll fall sick without eating any food.

Listen to me. I know that you feel wronged,...

...but...

...you shouldn't starve yourself.

Ye'er will be sad if you fall sick.

He'll be back soon.

Take my words. Yue'er!

Yue'er! Stop her!

Let me go! -Yue'er!

Grandma, please let me out...

...or I'll die here!

Yue'er!

If you behave like this,...

...I'll sit at the door!

I'll die with you if you die!

Greetings, Your Highness.

General Hou has been waiting inside.

How dare you? General Hou should come out...

...to receive His Highness in person.

His Highness will find out later. -You.....

Lead the way. -This way, Your Highness.

Your Highness, General Hou said that the matter is confidential.

Please enter alone.

Yes.

What do you mean by this, General Hou?

I'm dying,...

...Your Highness.

Why are you saying so?

Please come forth.

Xiaomei is killed innocently.

My heart is broken.

I plead for Your Highness to help me.

General Hou.

I didn't expect that Xiaomei...

...has been killed.

Who did this?

I'm incapable of tracking down the murderer,...

...but it's my trusted aide who spotted her dead body.

He's suddenly disappeared, which has raised my suspicion.

How did...

...he find her body? -He heard it from Bei Tian Fang.

Bei Tian Fang?

Bei Tian Fang.

Your Highness, do you think that there's anything wrong?

Do you know that there's a great incident happened...

...at the dungeon of the Court of Judicial Review today?

What's it? -Lu Xinyue...

...has been kidnapped.

Who's so daring to kidnap someone from the Court of Judicial Review?

It's yet to be found out,...

...but do you know that Bei Tian Fang...

...is built by Lu Xinyue?

Do you mean...

...that Xiaomei's death is related to Lu Xinyue?

What do you think?

I think...

...that's true.

Lan'er.

No one knows the password of this box except Anlan and I.

Is it possible that the person just now...

...was Lan'er?

General Hou.

It's chilling outside, so don't open the window.

You believe so,...

...but I don't.

I'd like to know more about it.

After Lu Xinyue is married to Yun Ye,...

...she's never been to Bei Tian Fang.

Sun Simiao is looking after the workshop on behalf.

He's very close to Yun Ye...

...and they always go there.

Lu Xinyue has served loyalty to me.

I can guarantee she has nothing to do with Xiaomei's death.

However, Lu Xinyue owes Yun Ye a favour.

She might keep some secrets...

...for Yun Ye. Only by finding Lu Xinyue,...

...we can find the truth of Xiaomei's death.

There's no clue after Lu Xinyue is kidnapped.

How should we investigate it? -You're familiar with strategies.

Switch between fake and reality. No one will find...

...Yun Ye the most suspicious after Xinyue has been kidnapped.

Yun Ye? Why does he want to do that?

Yun Ye suspects Lu Xinyue after the explosion at Mountain Yu.

He's been investigating her in secret. He'll find out our plan...

...if he's kidnapped Lu Xinyue. He'll ruin our big plan...

...if he informs my father.

We should be determined...

...and unaffected if that's real.

I know what you mean.

I'll go to the Court of Judicial Review in person.

Whether or not Yun Ye's related to Xiaomei's death, so long as...

...he's kidnapped Xinyue, he has the intention...

...to stop our great plan.

I'll kill him on the spot.

As for Xiaomei's death,...

...you must keep it a secret.

We mustn't complicate it before we achieve our big plan.

I'll bestow Xiaomei as the Empress after I ascend the throne...

...and hold a grand funeral for her.

Your Highness will soon be enthroned with such determination.

Xiaomei will rest in peace...

...knowing what Your Highness would do for her.

Now things are desperate.

You and I should work together to achieve the big ambition.

I swear to go through thick and thin with Your Highness.

What would be Your Highness' next plan?

The Mohists are making explosives for me.

We can rise to rebellion when the time comes.

The Mohists?

How did you get to draw them over to your side?

My sister, Li Anlan is still alive.

She's now working for me.

The Elder Princess...

...is still alive?

What about..... -That's a fake body.

All this while,...

...she's been trying to assassinate State Duke Shen...

...to avenge her mother's death.

State Duke Shen?

She thinks that her mother was killed by State Duke Shen?

I see...

...now.

Sir, will your plan be affected by sparing the Crown Prince?

Although Li Chengqian is in doubt,...

...it isn't him who's saved Lu Xinyue...

...or Chen Biao.

There's still a chance for us to work together.

He's the Crown Prince. We can't have any conflicts...

...unless we have no choice. -What should we do next?

Go to the Court of Judicial Review and watch Li Chengqian closely.

Report to me when there's any situation.

Yes, sir.

The nearest place when we enter from this gate...

...is the East Palace.

Come out.

Show yourself.

Tell me...

...why you haven't come back after a day.

Are you making me the scapegoat for real?

You're disaster.

You bring disaster.

My goodness! I can't hold it anymore.

The golden mouse is good, but my life is more important.

I'm doomed.

Leave us.

Get up.

Get up!

Tell me where Xinyue is.

You want to see Xinyue? Sure.

Tell me where Li Anlan is.

I ask you one more time. Tell me...

...where Xinyue is.

Let me see...

...Li Anlan if you want to see Xinyue.

My sister, Li Anlan is still alive.

She's working for me.

Greetings, State Duke. -What have you got?

You're right. It's a Mohist who broke into...

...Gao Shilian's mansion on the day of explosion,...

...but he's killed himself. -Where's Lu Xinyue?

Pardon me. I've searched the whole city with the rest,...

...but we're yet to track her down.

However, I've just learned that the Crown Prince has brought...

...Yun Ye out of the Court of Judicial Review.

Yun Ye?

Open the door!

Open the door! -Open the door!

Open the door now!

Madam, General Hou has brought many soldiers to our mansion.

Grandma. -Leave now, child.

What's going on? -The soldiers are here for you.

Leave now. Leave through the back door. Go.

I can't. They'll blame you...

...if I leave. -They can't do it...

...when you aren't here. Leave now.

You all have been so nice to me. I can't involve you.

We're family.

Go and look for Brother Ye. He'll find a way to save us.

Leave now. -You must take care of yourself.

I'll serve you well after this. -Yes, now leave.

Go now.

Go through the back door!

Open the door! -Hold it!

Open the door! -Hold it well!

Open the door! -Open the door!

What should we do? -Hurry!

Open the door. -Yes, madam.

Open the door! -Open the door!

General, what have we done...

...for you to dispatch a troop of army?

Don't misunderstand. Duke Yun is worried of his family,...

...but he's occupied by a task entrusted by the Crown Prince.

His Highness wants me here to invite you to meet with Duke Yun.

What's my brother doing? Is he not coming back for long?

He should focus...

...on the task assigned by the Crown Prince.

Please inform my grandson...

...that we'll wait for him at home.

I admire your level of understanding,...

...but Duke Yun and the Crown Prince are waiting.

I hope that you'd accept the invitation.

Madam Yun, you're making it difficult for me.

Hurry and escort Madam Yun.

What are you doing? Protect madam!

General, are you inviting me or arresting me?

State Duke, we can't find Xinyue.

This is the ending of those who resist.

Bring them all. -Yes.

Please ceased to be angry. Her Highness is ill.

The Crown Prince doesn't want anyone to disturb.

I should stay by her side since she's ill.

Make a way!

Your Highness should just do as the Crown Prince says.

Have you all understood?

So, have you all understood?

Do you know the way of placing it on the bomb?

I see the new formula is very complete.

Why don't we exclude the external machine?

No. Yun Ye said that the bomb is very powerful.

He must have a reason to design it this way.

It's the imperial palace that we're going to.

We shouldn't take it lightly.

It'd be great if Duke Yun's here.

It's unrelated to him. He mustn't be involved.

Speaking of the devil.

I heard my name. -Duke Yun.

Why is he here? -I bring him here.

Make him leave.

Don't behave like this. It's me who insisted on coming.

Are you leaving or not?

I'll leave, then.

Sister. -Leader Anlan.

Anlan, don't go!

What should we do?

Anlan, open the door.

Anlan.

I'll give you one last chance.

I'll use the ultimate skill if you still don't open the door.

Fine. You make me do this.

Li Anlan, you heartless woman!

You deny our relationship after spending a night with me!

You've dumped me!

Shut up!

You women are fickle.

Sometimes, you're gentle. Sometimes, you're cold.

You're yet to explain yourself, but you hit me already?

Enough.

All right.

Actually, I know the reason of you leaving without saying goodbye...

...and I know your plan with Chengqian.

I've been looking for you.

I'm sorry. -Lan'er,...

...what's going on? Why are you with Chengqian?

Brother Gongshu is dead.

What?

I tried to kill Gao Shilian, but I fell into their trap.

Brother Gongshu distracted...

...the guards to protect me and he never came back.

How did that happen?

Lan'er, I know that you're sad,...

...but we must leave immediately...

...because.....

Where are you going?

Uncle Hou.

Princess Anlan.

I didn't expect this.

I've been so sad...

...by your fake death. -Uncle Hou,...

...I had no choice, so please forgive me.

Duke Yun is here, too.

I wanted to tell you...

...that your family is kept safe.

You should have no worries.

That's great.

General Hou, I have something to discuss with you.

Could we have a private talk? -Sure.

Stop. -I need to see the Crown Prince.

You can't enter without edict. -Don't worry, Your Highness.

The Crown Prince is always nice to his parents.

Yet, I'm restless. Everything is in a mess lately.

Stop.

Who are you? -Your Highness.

Mrs. Yun. -I need to see the Crown Prince.

Please allow me. -His Highness is busy.

You can tell me about it.

Is it possible that you just want to see His Highness?

Don't misunderstand. General Hou has taken everyone in Yun manor.

I wonder what he's trying to do. His Highness is the regent.

I purposely come to seek justice for Yun family.

Is it really?

Go and ask for His Highness. -Yes.

Come with me, Mrs. Yun.

What have you done to my family? -They're fine at the moment.

It depends on your performance after this.

What do you want from me?

Shouldn't you be in the dungeon of the Court of Judicial Review?

Do you trade your freedom with your wife's whereabouts...

...with the Crown Prince?

No matter what you know,...

...please keep it to yourself.

If the Crown Prince and Princess found out about something,...

...I..... -I promise you.

Can you let my family go? -This is just one of them.

What else? -I hear that you've developed...

...some more powerful explosives. Is it true?

If you want to take this chance to do something else,...

...I'll make sure that you suffer a million times more than this.

General Hou.

Your Highness.

I wanted to tell you that I've invited Yun Ye to the discussion.

Your Highness, you're brilliant.

Your plan will surely succeed with the explosives...

...made by Duke Yun in person.

I'd do my very best.

Thank you very much.

Did Chengqian look for you?

Yes.

He rushed there as he heard about you talking with Uncle Hou.

Is there anything going on among you?

Well.....

Chengqian might have misunderstood. I was detained.

General Hou knows how much I love my family, so he looks after them.

He's certainly kind.

Yes.

What did you want to say to me before Uncle Hou came by?

I wanted to stop you from stepping in Chengqian's matters.

I've thought a lot these days.

I agree with Chengqian.

I can't avenge my mother's death if Li Shimin is still the Emperor.

You want to kill His Majesty? -No.

I won't kill him because my mother died for him.

What about Chengqian? -He'll propose an abdication.

I know that you won't agree, but I've decided.

I'm begging of you.

It has nothing to do with you since the beginning.

Don't say it again. -Leave...

It's my destiny, not yours.

I don't want you to live a life like that.

You still have your family. You can choose a better life.

You're my choice.

I don't deserve it.

I'm volunteered.

Leader Anlan!

Enter.

The Crown Prince wants to discuss something with you.

Okay.

I'll go to the place I should go if Your Highness...

...could save Yun family.

Do you know...

...the reason of General Hou's action?

Please have a cup of tea.

Your Highness.

Wait here, Mrs. Yun. I'll be right back.

What? Are you sure?

Yes, they enjoy the conversation.

What's playing in His Highness' mind?

Let alone Mrs. Yun, he's even released Duke Yun.

Father will be back tomorrow. How should we explain...

...the release? -There's rumour...

...saying that Duke Yun did it to get rid of Prince of Wei for.....

Stop the nonsense!

However, I'm worried of His Highness' actions lately.

Go and ask if there's anything unusual at Ke Wu Yuan recently.

Yes, I'll get going. -Also,...

...keep secret of Mrs. Yun's presence.

Yes.

This is it.

This is father's only way to come back.

We'll take the advantage to trigger the bomb.

It can let him relinquish formally without shedding of blood.

Okay, let's do it.

It's a good strategy, but...

...I'm a bit hungry.

Are you all hungry?

Yes. -Yes.

All right. I'll cook your favourite braised meat!

Great! -Wonderful!

It's a secret letter from General Hou.

Yun Ye is crafty. Follow him closely...

...in case of fraud.

Come and bury this. Be careful.

Here. -Okay.

Give it to me. -Okay.

Here. -Gently.

Be careful.

Bury it well. Here. Fill up the pit.

Step aside.

Make way.

Can you stop blocking my way?

Why don't you cook it instead?

By General Hou's order, I must protect you at all times.

I'm just cooking. I'll be safe.

How can I cook when you're disturbing me?

Your Highness. -Leave here.

Yes.

I thought that the revolt is all you care.

I know that you'll keep Xinyue from harm.

Yes, she's very safe.

I can tell you where she is,...

...but you wouldn't want her to be in any kind of danger.

Don't worry, I'll divorce her after that...

...and let you live together.

Thank you very much.

I sincerely bless you with happiness.

I'm very thankful that you'd stay to help me.
