Episode 36

From today onwards, you and I...

...are no longer father and son.

One won't live while the other lives!

Good!

Since both of us need to end this, Qian'er,...

...are you willing to fight against me once?

No! -Please don't!

Retreat! -Crown Prince!

Retreat!

Everyone, retreat! -Yes.

Crown Prince rebels.

I got this risking my life.

I hope you'll bring soldiers to the palace with me to arrest him.

General Hou, do you have...

...the army token given by His Majesty?

It's too sudden. His Majesty hasn't given me the token in time.

I've promised His Majesty that without the token, I won't do it.

I hope you can understand, General Hou.

General Chang, General Hou has said it's an emergency.

How can we just stay here?

What do you know?

Please take care, General Hou. I won't send you off.

Do you insist on rejecting me?

Yes.

General Hou, what are you doing?

Listen well to what I'm saying after this.

This is the only way for us to survive.

What else is there to consider now?

Why didn't you consider well beforehand?

Haven't I told you many times?

Don't be impulsive when facing problems. Why won't you change?

Should I just wait for you to strip me off my title?

You're my eldest son.

I have high expectations on you.

Even if you did anything wrong, I'll punish you lightly.

When did I want to strip you off the title?

Light punishment?

Since young,...

...there are countless rules and orders.

Which had I ever broken? In order to make you happy,...

...I watched the woman I love...

...marrying to my best friend...

...but you're biased towards Qingque.

You keep embarrassing me!

Have you ever treated me like the Crown Prince? Have you?

How dare you tell me...

...it's all because of a woman?

You're the one who forced me!

Rebellious son!

If you can't stand this blow, how can you be my son?

A tiger won't eat its own cub.

Why do I have a father like you?

Mother!

You're right.

I won't be able to win...

...because I'm not as cruel as him.

Stop it! Father!

Father, stop it.

The Empress is gravely ill. Stop fighting.

What?

Sister, don't lie to me.

I just saw mother last night. -I lied?

The Empress fell ill due to sadness as you grounded her.

She won't drink any water. After that,...

...the Empress fell into coma.

If not because I went to find her to stop you two,...

...I won't know she has fallen into coma.

You're heartless!

How dare you treat your own mother that way?

Isn't this all your fault?

Chengqian, the Empress was calling for you and father when she's ill.

Even if she dies, she doesn't want to see you two hurting each other.

Don't you understand her? Hou Junji...

...is disloyal to father long ago. He killed my mother...

...and manipulated you and me. -Stop talking.

Do you want to continue your wrongdoings?

Stop talking! -Chengqian!

Come in!

Put Li Chengqian in jail and wait for my further instructions!

Yes!

Kill me! Kill me if you can!

Now, Hou Junji is coming in with the army! Just wait to die!

Wushe! -Yes.

Bring my token and ask Chang He to come here.

I understand.

Chengqian, why must you help him to carry out his plan?

Even if Hou Junji enters the palace,...

...do you think he will let you live?

Sister, I'm sorry for...

...failing your plan to avenge your mother's death...

...but Xinyue is in his hands. I.....

Xinyue will die if I don't do this.

Can you understand me?

I'm sorry.

Don't move.

Chengqian, why are you so clueless?

If Hou Junji knew Xinyue has killed Hou Xiaomei,...

...it's impossible for him to let Xinyue go.

It's impossible. How did you know?

Hou Junji...

...has kidnapped my family. If you didn't surround the palace,...

...I would've saved them!

If anything happens to grandmother and Xinyue, I won't let you go.

Tell me that you're lying to me!

You want to avenge me, so you lied, right?

I'm not lying. -Your Majesty.

Has Hou Junji already..... -I received news that...

...Hou Junji is coming to the palace with the army.

General Chang He won't betray me. I'll go and see for myself.

Sister, please bring me to see Hou Junji.

Sister!

Sister, bring me to see Hou Junji!

Bring me to see Hou Junji!

General Chang He...

...is greeting Your Majesty!

Hou Junji!

How dare you!

Duke Yun, don't you have anything to ask me?

Hou Junji, where have you hid Yun Ye's family?

Hurry and bring them out! -Don't worry, Princess.

When the Crown Prince is here,...

...I'll answer you then!

Hou Junji, I want to see Xinyue! Where is Xinyue?

Yue'er.

General Hou, Xiaomei's death has nothing to do with Xinyue.

It's State Duke Shen! He sent someone to kill Xiaomei!

Gao Shilian?

Why would he hurt my Xiaomei?

When Xiaomei came to find me, State Duke Shen found out!

He's worried that our relationship will affect my position!

He killed her behind me!

Nonetheless, this has nothing to do with Xinyue!

General Hou,...

...please don't hurt Xinyue!

Why is this story different from what I knew?

No matter what, Xiaomei loved you deeply.

She's always been afraid of loneliness.

Are you willing to accompany her, Your Highness?

Hou Junji, don't even think about it!

Don't worry, Princess!

I believe that he's willing to exchange his life for Mrs. Yun's.

Father, I beg of you!

Please let me save her! I'll use my life to exchange for her life!

Sister! Father! Yun Ye!

I'm begging of you!

Use my life to exchange for her life!

I'm begging of you! -Chengqian!

You must live well!

Xinyue!

Hou Junji!

Useless.

Protect His Majesty!

Archers, get ready!

Prepare!

Li Shimin,...

...from now onwards,...

...in every two hours,...

...I'll kill a member of Yun family...

...until you're willing to abdicate!

When I've killed everyone,...

...I'll bring the army and attack the palace!

Think about it!

I'm useless.

It's not the end yet.

Father is discussing with General Yuchi.

We can surely save grandmother and Yun family.

Your Majesty, Hou Junji's army is 5 times ours.

We can't simply leave the palace. We can only defend the palace.

Once we lost contact with the officials, they'll send soldiers.

If Hou Junji attacks us, how long can we defend?

With our soldiers and supplies, 4 days the most.

By that time, the palace is dying.

I've asked State Duke Shen to guard the royal tombs.

Is it possible to ask for his help?

Your Majesty,...

...Hou Junji's army has surrounded the palace.

It's likely to be difficult to break through.

I've gone for battles for many years.

Do I have to defend the palace and wait for my death?

Please calm down, Your Majesty.

I have a way!

Your Majesty. -It's good that you're here.

You're usually resourceful. What idea do you have?

General Yuchi, if Hou Junji attacks the palace,...

...where will he attack first?

It's easier to attack than defend the west and east sides.

It's likely there. -Set up explosives there.

When Hou Junji enters the palace, just bomb them. What do you think?

There aren't many explosives and can only be buried in a place.

How can we know which gate he will start to attack?

Your Majesty. Duke Yun.

Hou Junji has taken his move? -Yes.

Place the explosives at the south. I know how to make him go there.

These are all the stocks. Do you remember...

...the way to use it? -Yes.

Brother Shen, you have to place the explosives well.

Don't worry, Duke Yun.

Huang Shu, I'll do my best to fulfil what I promised you.

Take care of Xiao Nan. Remember to leave through the tunnel.

Brother, I won't leave.

Xiao Nan, don't worry. I'll save grandmother.

You must listen to Uncle Huang Shu, understand?

Xiao Nan. -Follow the plan.

Do you understand?

Yes. -Yes.

His Majesty said no one can visit His Highness.

Just let me see him once.

Just once.

Please don't make it difficult for me, Your Highness.

Qian'er.

It's me. I know you're inside.

I just want to tell you.

You must change if you make a mistake.

Do you hear me?

Come in.

Are you writing something?

Lan'er, I have something to tell you.

When you're worried, you'll do this.

The war is approaching. I'm worried.

Lan'er, maybe His Majesty isn't a good father,...

...but he is a good Emperor. He can't and won't give up his title.

This is history. -How can you be sure?

Grandmother and aunt are my family. I must rescue them.

Of course. I'll do my best to help you save them.

You're someone I love.

I won't let you get hurt.

Yun Ye, don't do anything silly.

Your Highness, you fooled me once.

Now we're even.

You can't be upset. -What are you saying?

Yun Ye, we met through this hairpin.

From the border to Chang'an,...

...we've been through so many things together.

We've been through life and death.

We helped Chengqian to pursue Xinyue.

We saw the fireflies in the dark night.

I think in this world, the only man who can make me happy...

...is you.

Now, I want to help you save your grandmother and aunt.

I don't want you to be in danger. I don't want you to die.

I'll give this hairpin to you first.

If I can ever come back, I'll take it from you.

You've once said that when we're bidding farewell,...

...it's rare to see smiles.

I just want to tell you this.

Yun Ye,...

...I love you.

What happened?

Hou Junji's dead! His Majesty said not to kill those who surrender!

Duke Yun, you're just a human after all.

General Hou, you like to ambush in the dark.

He's loyal to you but you let him die on behalf of you.

At least when I'm enthroned, he'll have a grand funeral...

...and make his family proud.

Duke Yun,...

...what would you do?

You're right. I've taken on the wrong side.

Can I change now? -Please don't joke.

I dare not accept your request.

Do you think that I'm loyal?

Which human is not greedy in life?

So, I won't simply rebel.

But now, the situation is different.

Don't panic, Duke Yun.

I won't kill you now.

I'll use you to slowly torture Li Shimin and Li Anlan.

I see. What a shame.

I thought that you're great, but you let go...

...of the throne and fight all the way through.

Do you think that I'll be like Li Chengqian...

...and trust your words?

My family and my life are in your hands.

Are you still unwilling to make a deal with me?

Tell me your conditions. -I have someone in the palace.

I can help you open the palace gate.

If you don't believe me, you can tie me to the vehicle.

With the Princess there, no guards will hurt me.

I'll buy some time for you, will I not?

Having you risk your life,...

...what do you want to exchange with me?

Let me and my family live. -What about Li Anlan?

She's only valuable when she's the Princess.

Your Majesty, since yesterday night,...

...Hou Junji has stopped killing Yun family members.

That's strange. The old man won't stop killing.

Father, Yun Ye went missing.

He left this letter behind.

What did it say? -He wants us to...

...proceed with the plan no matter what happens...

...and leads Hou Junji into the palace.

What's he doing actually? -Report!

Your Majesty, Hou Junji tied Duke Yun to the vehicle...

...to attack the palace. -What?

Your Highness!

I'm sorry!

I have let you down!

We can only meet in the next lifetime!

Don't stop because of me! Just keep shooting!

Aim the arrows at me!

Don't let them manipulate me!

Yun Ye. Yun Ye!

Is this something the Princess planned with Duke Yun?

Li Shimin!

I'll strike him once when I count once.

When I count to 10,...

...and you won't open the gate,...

...I'll behead him...

...as sacrifice! -General Hou,...

...what you have is not important to me.

1!

You did it for real?

I wanted to distract them.

Once you count to 5, my friend will open the gate.

If I don't stab you, how will Li Shimin be fooled?

2!

Your Highness, release the arrows!

Let me die once and for all! Release the arrows!

3!

4!

Anlan, let's meet again in the next lifetime.

Stop!

Princess! -Princess!

Father, I'm sorry.

I can't let him die.

Open the gate!

Open the gate!

It seems that the Princess loves you deeply.

Enter the palace!

Kill them all!

March!

March!

March!

Are you alright? -I'm fine.

Let's go.

Don't ever do this again!

I know. I won't do this anymore.

It's not easy to trick me.

No!

You're really an obstacle.

I should've killed you earlier.

Don't even think of hurting them anymore.

Wushe, get a physician for Yun Ye. -Yes.

Yun Ye.

Yun Ye.

How could it be?

How can I lose just like this?

Yun Ye.

Don't cry. I'm fine.

I'm not someone from this era.

I won't die here.

I don't care where you come from. You can't die here.

You can't die.

Yun Ye. Yun Ye, listen to me.

You can't die.

Yun Ye, you can't die.

You can't leave me behind.

Yun Ye, you can't leave me and the child.

Yun Ye, do you hear me?

You can't die.

You can't, Yun Ye.

Yun Ye.

You can't die. I won't let you die.

I don't want you to die, Yun Ye!

"Shooting"

Anlan!

My..... My tomb?

Grandmother.

Look, this cake is even nicer than last year's.

It's colourful. Ask them to come here.

Grandmother, I'll call them. Let's celebrate birthday!

So nice.

Huang Shu. -It's nicer than the fish, right?

Come here! -Do you want this golden rat?

Yes! -Let me tell you.

This is the golden Jerry given by your father to me.

When you're 18 years old and have achieved nothing,...

...I'll give it to you, my godson.

Huang Shu, it's all ready. -Great. Let's go.

Cake! -Come and celebrate!

That's great. -It's your birthday.

There is a cake. -Yes, I've lit up the candles.

Here, look. -It's Yun Dan's birthday.

So nice. -Look at the cake.

The cake is so delicious. -It's nice pretty, right?

Look.

Yun Ye, we're fine.

We all miss you. -Do you want to eat?

Granddaughter-in-law, come here!

Let's celebrate birthday! -Coming.

Hurry! -I'm here.

Yun Dan is waiting for you.

Let's sing birthday song. -Let's sing.

Ready, sing!

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Blow the candles. -Blow the candles.

Blow the candles. -1, 2, 3!
