Original subtitles

Sir, I heard some sounds coming from the inside

Didn't you hear the order from Sir Songgotu?

No matter what happens tonight

nobody says anything about it, do you understand?

Yes, sir

This way

Fortunately, I was prepared for this

Otherwise I might have fallen into your trap

Take my special darts!

Not bad. You stop all my darts

Your skill of throwing weapons is too lame

Where did you learn it?

Your master will be ashamed of you

I was just playing

Now, I'm doing it for real!

Take this!

Li Jian Qing

So it's you

You're good

considering that you're so young

Oboi

You claimed yourself as the strongest master in Qing Dynasty

But there are a lot of others

who are stronger than you in this world

Tonight...

Kang Xi assigned me to kill you

You better submit yourself to it

Li Jian Qing

It's useless for you

to sow dissension between me and the emperor

Your assassination tonight

is not the order from Kang Xi

Why are you so confident that

Kang Xi won't eat his words?

You should know better than me

how much he hates you

Kang Xi hates me

and wanted me to die

But with his personality

he knows better that

it is not the time to kill me yet

Your value to the imperial

is only

the intelligence network that you control

The whole world knows that

Kang Xi took away your title and imprisoned you

Your men

are starting to feel anxious

They're still loyal to you now

because firstly

they're under the control of the pill

So they're afraid of you

But let me tell you

I know how to make the antidote

to the pill

What?

You know how to make the antidote?

Otherwise...

Yi Huan and I won't confront you in public

What a surprise

You're not only good in martial art

at your age

but your excellent medicinal knowledge

is rare to see

What a great young man

Secondly

your men

haven't established any connection with the imperial yet

But with Kang Xi's wisdom

I believe that soon he could

make your men

join the imperial

And then...

they'll establish their own connections

Do you think Kang Xi

will still need an old man like you?

You can't catch me, might as well go back

Have mercy on me, sir...

I was wrong, I won't do it again!

You still dare to confront me with your weak skill?

Sir... please have mercy on me again

I swear I won't do it again!

I mean it

The world is in chaos now

and everywhere is full of danger

A little girl like you

better stop interfering other people's business

Go back now

Li Jian Qing

You and Li Yi Huan

are the remnants of the Pearl Valley from Ming Dynasty

Both of you

are a threat to the Qing Dynasty!

Oboi

Think about three things

First

our threat is to Kang Xi

not you

Second

Kang Xi trusted us both

not you

Third

the person that Kang Xi hated and wanted to kill the most

is not us

but you

The man in black hood

that you met just now...

is the spy that you sent to Pearl Valley, right?

So?

Though you're good in martial art

if you want to kill me...

it's not that easy

If I tell Kang Xi about this information

you and your sister will be dead

Will you really tell on us?

Do you think Kang Xi will believe you

or will he think that you're getting your revenge again?

Even if Kang Xi believes you

and kills us

without the remnants of Ming Dynasty

like us...

Do you think Kang Xi

will still let you live?

Little pricks...

Let's make a deal, then

From now on

stop conspiring against me

When I report to Kang Xi

I won't reveal the identity

of you and your sister

- How's that? - All right

I promise you

Yi Huan

- Brother Zhu! - Yi Huan!

- I'm fine... - Are you alright?

But I lost him

As long as you're safe

My mission has failed too

I think the spy already knew our plan

to assassinate Oboi

And give him the antidote for the knock out potions

that we made

Oboi was well prepared

I couldn't kill him

Are you alright? Did you get hurt?

I'd be happy to get hurt

seeing how much you care about me

Don't worry

Oboi and I are both a match for each other

He can't kill me

and I can't kill him either

Brother Zhu

I fought with that person

I think...

his movements

are the same as what we practice in Pearl Valley

How could you fight him?

Didn't I asked you to follow him from afar

and avoid confronting him?

I have no experience in following people

I was found out by him

But strangely enough

he had a few chances to kill me

But he didn't do so

And although...

he covered himself

with a black hood

and I can't figure out his body...

but...

from his martial arts

and the movements of stopping the weapons...

I think...

he is from the Pearl Valley

It seems like

the person knows you

That's why he didn't kill you

Did you hear him speak?

He was speaking in a fake tone

But

the way he uses his fake tone

is the same method that we learn

on how to change our voice

I bet

that person is not only from Pearl Valley

but he is also someone that we're familiar with

Who could this

person be?

These are the letters

that were sent by the secret agents of Oboi?

Yes, Your Highness

The content of the letters

are written in secret codes

I can't decipher it

Though Oboi explains

the content of the letters in his report

I'm not sure whether what he said

is true or not

I'm not sure whether

there is a trick in it

I know you're knowledgeable

maybe you can decipher it

So, I brought the letters to you

I'm not a god

I have to read it carefully too

Grandmother...

though Oboi has been exploiting his power for years

he always respected you

He has wanted to meet you

I know well

of Oboi's character

He asks to meet me now

not because he wants to give out information

but to remind me

of how he had saved Tai Zong Emperor...

how he had helped eliminate Dorgon...

and all the things he had done

Which puts me in a difficult situation

I say we shall neglect him for six months

in order to teach him a lesson

After six months

his arrogance will disappear

and soon he'll know about the reality

And then, I will go and see him

In that way, it will surely work

when we ask him to hand over

all the information that he has

You're right, grandmother

I still have some more work to be done, grandmother

I'll be going now

All right, you may go

Is there anything abnormal

about the Li siblings?

Your Highness

The Li siblings

have been loyal to their duty

Nothing is extraordinary about them

I'm not sure...

I keep worrying

about the Li siblings

Continue to spy on them

for me

Always be alert

Yes, Your Highness

Who was the person brave enough

to try to assassinate you?

Premier, please don't worry

I have strictly scolded

the guards

and cancel their salary for six months

How frustrating!

Premier, please don't worry

From tonight onwards

the guards will be doubled up

in order to protect you

Thank you, Sir Songgotu

Don't mention it

Please go and tell His Majesty

This little wound

is not a big deal to me

That's great!

Premier, His Majesty has been concerned about you

Since you're fine

I think His Majesty doesn't have to worry anymore

Oh, since the best physician

in the Imperial Medical Institution

is Imperial Physician Li

do you want him

to come and

check on you?

I'm grateful for your kindness

It's just a small injury

there's no need to ask for Imperial Physician Li

Well, since you're fine now

I'll go and report to His Majesty

Please excuse me

Sir Songgotu, please wait

Go and collect the medicine with Imperial Physician Cai

The others may leave now

Yes, sir

I'll be going now

Since the spy is a person from Pearl Valley

he must have disclosed a lot of

information to Oboi last night

Including our identity

Luckily, I made a deal

with Oboi temporarily

Among the information that he'll tell Kang Xi today

other than the news about

Wu San Gui, Geng Jing Zhong and the others

there are news about the officers in the imperial too

There's no information on Anti-Qing Alliance

Is Wu San Gui taking any actions?

I'm not sure

Oboi is a cunning person

The letters that he has with his agents

are all written in secret codes

I can't decipher it

The secret report that he sent to Kang Xi

was through the hands of Songgotu

I can't get my hands on it either

The copper box is missing

Eunuch Li is proven innocent

Who could have changed the box?

Brother Zhu

I'm starting to feel anxious

when I think of the danger we are in right now

Don't you worry

I won't let anything happen to you

If something does happen

I will protect you

with my life!

Brother Zhu

I don't want to be safe alone

I want everybody to be safe

I'm starting to regret now

I should have been more hardworking

when I was in Pearl Valley

If so, I won't cause so many troubles to you

Now you regretted it?

But it's a great improvement

When we finish our mission

I'll go back to Pearl Valley with you

and take up the homework

that you've left behind

When you're skilful enough in martial art

I'll take you to the city again

I'm just saying it

I don't think I can do it even if

you want me to start studying again

Now that it's only you and me

tell me the truth

Did you know about the assassination plan of

Imperial Physician Li?

If not, with such noise

how could it be that not even one

of the patrolling guards

hear anything

Premier

if so

then you're blaming me for it

Yesterday, Imperial Physician Li told me that

he wanted to go into your room

to steal the letters

As to why you both started attacking each other

I have no idea at all

And you're the bravest soldier in Qing Dynasty

how could you let him injure you?

What a surprise

Stop pretending in front of me

Even though your father, Soni

was my enemy

if he's still alive

judging from the situation right now

he will put aside our hatred

and fight the external enemy with me

But now, you ignore the current situation

and help those with unknown background

to attack me

If your father knows about it

he won't agree to what you're doing

Premier

Imperial Physician Li told me that

he was discovered by you while he was stealing the letters

Because of this, he had to attack you

in order to escape

Both of us know that

Imperial Physician Li was here to steal the letters

because of someone's order

If I keep asking him

I would have caused myself troubles

Are you crazy?

Do you know that I have met

the secret agent in the alliance?

The agent told me that

Imperial Physician Li

and Li Yi Huan

are the people of Anti-Qing Alliance

Especially Li Jian Qing

He has a special identity

In fact, he is...

I don't want to listen to anything

I don't want to listen to you

Premier

if you think what you said is true

and you have the proof

you may write a secret report to His Majesty

If you're not able to meet His Majesty,

I can send your report to His Majesty for you

Oh, Songgotu

Can you stop playing dumb

in front of me?

You know His Majesty

hold grudges against me

I'm condemned of heavy crimes

And the Li siblings

has gained the favour of the emperor

for capturing me

Other than the words from the agent

I have no other proof

If I go and report on the Li siblings

do you think His Majesty will believe me?

He will think that I'm

working with the agent

to frame my rivals

To seek for revenge!

Premier

since you don't dare to report to His Majesty

what makes you think I will risk infuriating His Majesty?

Tell me...

you're asking me to do it for your benefit

Oh, Songgotu

What a cunning old folk

If you're not in His Majesty's favour

just like the Li siblings

do you think I will

beg you

my political rival?

You knew it in your heart that

the Li siblings are suspicious

But you don't dare to show your suspicions

Instead, you go and please them

Now that I've told you about

their identity

You can go and investigate on it

and report to His Majesty

It's a great contribution!

Since we have come to this

let me tell you, Premier

As an officer

I always believe in one thing

Mind your own business

Talk less

Close your eyes

Avoid attracting attention to yourself

I don't strive for contributions, but for making no mistakes

I just wanted to serve His Majesty peacefully

As for other things

I won't care much

Since you're fine

I'll be going now

The Qing Dynasty

will be ruined by these rascals one day!

Eldest senior

You pretended to make peace with Oboi last night

but will Oboi

also pretend just the same?

And is he actually looking for another chance

to make plans?

Crown Prince

It looks like we have to change our strategy

We can't leave Oboi to control Kang Xi

And we don't have time to investigate

who is Oboi's spy

We have to kill Oboi as soon as possible

Or else, once he clears his mind

and decided to pledge

his loyalty to Kang Xi

it will put us and the entire

alliance in danger

I know

Oboi must die

And the sooner, the better

But Oboi is as strong as me

I don't have full confidence

if we were to take action

Then, how about, I sneak out of the palace

Both of us work together

to kill Oboi

All right

Uncle

I think

Oboi is not trying to sow dissension

Maybe the Li siblings

are truly the Anti-Qing traitors

You should help him

reveal their real identities to His Majesty

You may be wrong, Your Highness

Oboi escaped the punishment of death

and gained his place in the palace

If we help him in this

he'll become our biggest threat again

Moreover, he has no proof

All he has is the words of the agent

What if he tricks us?

And using us to take revenge on the Li siblings?

His Majesty

is showing favour to Li Yi Huan

We'll fall into his trap

if we do so

You're right, uncle

I'm just afraid that both of them

are truly traitors

If so, what should we do?

Now...

Oboi is our greatest enemy

And the Li siblings is a small threat to us

What's important now

is working together with them

to take down Oboi

Then, there will be no other rivals

to the Heseri clan in the imperial

As for the Li siblings...

when His Majesty is no longer interested in Li Yi Huan

it won't be too late for us to eliminate them

You're more experienced

in handling this kind of things, uncle

I'll follow your instructions

But you have to be careful

Don't let the siblings

cause us any trouble

Yes, Your Highness

Please don't worry

I will keep my eyes on

the Li siblings

Why are there so many guards?

Didn't you told me that you have

asked Songgotu to clear away the guards?

Songgotu is ordered to protect Oboi

He has to do it to convince others

If we make some noise

the guards will go away to chase after the bait

Yi Huan, you'll distract the guards

Crown Prince and I will go and kill Oboi

All right. Be careful, Sixth Master, Brother Zhu

Careful...

Let's go

You, stay here. The others follow me!

Help!

The master is going insane!

Bring it on!

Traitor!

Go away!

Master, it's me!

- Stop running! - What are you doing, master?

- Master! - Traitor!

Traitor!

I'm the greatest soldier in Qing Dynasty!

How dare you frame me?

I'll kill you today!

Li Yi Huan!

How dare you tricked me?

I'll kill you now!

Who... are you?

Kang Xi!

I knew it

You're here to kill me.

Great!

Did you forget that

I saved your grandfather?

I fought for the family

of Aisin Gioro

Good!

Take this!

Kang Xi!

I'll die with you today!

Attack!

- Attack... - Sixth Master...

It looks like Oboi has gone insane

Kill!

Kill!

Something's wrong. Let's go!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill...

What?

Oboi had gone insane?

Your Highness

Oboi had suddenly gone insane last night

He killed a few of his guards and his servants

He nearly killed his concubines too

What a good timing

for him to go insane

Take me to him

I'll be going now

I'll be going now, Your Highness

How could a person

suddenly gone insane?

How did you take care of your master?

Your Majesty

Since he was assassinated the night before

his mind has been unstable

We asked Imperial Physician Cai to come and check on him

Physician Cai told us that he was fine

and just needed a few days of rest

But last night

he suddenly said his heart was burning

and he was yelling in the house

And then... he just went insane

Your Majesty

You may rise

Quickly go and check on him

and see what disease he has

Yes, Your Majesty

Premier

Please give me your hand

It hurts

Your Majesty

It's not a disease that Premier has

but he is poisoned

Poisoned?

Songgotu

Yes, Your Majesty

What's happening?

Your Majesty

The daily life of Oboi

is entrusted to the people

in Oboi's house

I follow your order and

never interfere with it

So I have no idea at all

when is it that Oboi

was poisoned

Imperial Physician Li

do you have the cure

to Oboi's poison?

I'm afraid not

I don't have the cure

Be careful, Your Majesty!

- In case it's a trap - It's fine

Premier not only has gone insane

he has lost his inner strength too

He could no longer harm anyone

Oboi

Do you recognise me?

Hungry

I'm hungry...

Hungry...
