[Episode 17]
4
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,487
After three rounds of drinks,
we're all in the best mood.
5
00:01:05,487 --> 00:01:07,140
Prince Hui.
6
00:01:07,140 --> 00:01:09,884
I heard that there's a fighter on
the Langya Hall's Pugilist Ranking
7
00:01:09,884 --> 00:01:11,903
among the envoys.
8
00:01:16,442 --> 00:01:18,025
This is my younger cousin, Tuoba Yu.
9
00:01:18,025 --> 00:01:19,945
Prince Han Hai's third son.
10
00:01:19,945 --> 00:01:23,019
He's the son of my paternal aunt,
Supreme Princess Jin Xian.
11
00:01:23,019 --> 00:01:25,697
He's now ranked fifth this year
on Langya Hall's Pugilist Ranking.
12
00:01:27,311 --> 00:01:29,593
He does indeed have the looks
of a distinguished fighter.
13
00:01:29,593 --> 00:01:32,141
I've been in the palace for a long time,
so I don't know much.
14
00:01:32,141 --> 00:01:34,373
Those around me are like
big fish in a little pond.
15
00:01:34,373 --> 00:01:37,155
We're having a good time here
as the host and guest.
16
00:01:37,155 --> 00:01:39,278
Moreover, we have such a figure present.
17
00:01:39,278 --> 00:01:44,323
Why don't we liven up the banquet
with a friendly match?
18
00:01:47,028 --> 00:01:51,516
Since Your Majesty is in the mood,
how could I turn you down?
19
00:01:53,924 --> 00:01:55,265
Thank you, Your Majesty.
20
00:01:56,138 --> 00:01:57,486
Thank you, Your Highness.
21
00:02:07,269 --> 00:02:08,504
Thank you.
22
00:02:15,324 --> 00:02:16,324
After you.
23
00:03:20,875 --> 00:03:23,905
Xi, I know that
you're always very prudent.
24
00:03:23,905 --> 00:03:25,635
I don't ask for much.
25
00:03:25,635 --> 00:03:27,864
Just be honest with me.
26
00:03:30,254 --> 00:03:32,401
You're much healthier than most people.
27
00:03:32,401 --> 00:03:35,084
Moreover, you follow
my medical advice closely.
28
00:03:35,084 --> 00:03:36,762
At this point in the treatment
29
00:03:36,762 --> 00:03:39,861
two thirds of the pathogenic cold
in you has dispersed.
30
00:03:39,861 --> 00:03:41,441
It's a bit faster than I expected.
31
00:03:41,441 --> 00:03:43,149
Really?
32
00:03:47,224 --> 00:03:49,858
My dear, since you came to the capital
33
00:03:49,858 --> 00:03:53,486
I think that Changlin Manor's
luck has improved.
34
00:03:54,670 --> 00:03:57,870
When Ping Zhang returns from the palace
35
00:03:57,870 --> 00:04:00,409
I have to inform him of this good news.
36
00:04:00,409 --> 00:04:03,724
You don't know it, but he acts as if
he isn't too concerned about it
37
00:04:03,724 --> 00:04:06,121
so that I won't be upset.
38
00:04:06,121 --> 00:04:09,290
However, this matter does
weigh on his mind.
39
00:04:10,670 --> 00:04:12,145
It's only natural.
40
00:04:12,145 --> 00:04:13,721
Of course he is worried.
41
00:04:56,257 --> 00:04:57,257
Thank you.
42
00:05:09,987 --> 00:05:11,576
I know nothing much of martial arts.
43
00:05:11,576 --> 00:05:14,555
It's just fun for me to watch
but I don't understand the techniques.
44
00:05:15,706 --> 00:05:16,887
Give them some wine.
45
00:05:30,151 --> 00:05:32,084
Hey.
46
00:05:32,084 --> 00:05:33,408
You claim to judge well.
47
00:05:33,408 --> 00:05:34,755
Tell me who actually won.
48
00:05:34,755 --> 00:05:36,009
Stop teasing me.
49
00:05:36,009 --> 00:05:37,997
It isn't as if you can't tell.
50
00:05:52,499 --> 00:05:53,810
Your Majesty of Great Liang.
51
00:05:56,362 --> 00:05:58,178
What is it, Princess?
52
00:05:58,178 --> 00:06:02,391
In Great Yan, single women train in
martial arts as all men would.
53
00:06:02,391 --> 00:06:05,927
Since friendly matches are held
to liven the celebration of our alliance
54
00:06:05,927 --> 00:06:10,586
may I be so bold as to
ask for a friendly match as well?
55
00:06:13,387 --> 00:06:14,387
Oh?
56
00:06:14,387 --> 00:06:15,391
Chong Hua!
57
00:06:15,391 --> 00:06:17,689
Although the date of the wedding is set
58
00:06:17,689 --> 00:06:20,983
I'm still a woman of Great Yan today.
59
00:06:20,983 --> 00:06:23,612
Fifth Brother, please allow me
to act willfully one last time.
60
00:06:24,908 --> 00:06:27,492
It's not once or twice that
you've acted willfully.
61
00:06:29,978 --> 00:06:32,089
This isn't that serious.
62
00:06:32,089 --> 00:06:35,130
It's just that my commander general
has always been quite reckless.
63
00:06:35,130 --> 00:06:37,307
Princess Chong Hua is
nobility from Yan State.
64
00:06:37,307 --> 00:06:39,233
If you exchange blows with each other--
65
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:41,574
Commander General must
be tired after the match.
66
00:06:41,574 --> 00:06:43,831
I wouldn't dare to impose on him.
67
00:06:45,995 --> 00:06:49,137
I've heard that Second Young Master
of Changlin trained in Langya Hall.
68
00:06:49,137 --> 00:06:50,831
I'm very envious.
69
00:06:50,831 --> 00:06:54,004
Since there's this opportunity,
I wonder if we can have a match?
70
00:07:00,711 --> 00:07:02,124
Prince Hui.
71
00:07:02,124 --> 00:07:06,432
In our previous reign,
we also had a military princess.
72
00:07:06,432 --> 00:07:08,463
Heroines are just as outstanding as men.
73
00:07:08,463 --> 00:07:10,541
Since the match is just
to liven up the banquet
74
00:07:10,541 --> 00:07:12,706
there's no need to worry
about the formalities.
75
00:07:16,107 --> 00:07:17,257
Ping Jing.
76
00:07:21,793 --> 00:07:23,175
Your Majesty.
77
00:07:23,175 --> 00:07:26,045
Your Majesty, Ping Jing is still
recovering from his injury.
78
00:07:26,045 --> 00:07:27,718
It's best for him not to fight.
79
00:07:27,718 --> 00:07:30,146
Should the princess insist
on having a friendly match
80
00:07:30,146 --> 00:07:31,896
there's no rush in doing so today.
81
00:07:31,896 --> 00:07:35,036
Once we tie the marital bond,
there will be many more opportunities.
82
00:07:36,447 --> 00:07:39,939
I've heard Great Liang's custom is to
raise ladies as gentle and obedient.
83
00:07:39,939 --> 00:07:42,266
Before I set out, I promised my father
84
00:07:42,266 --> 00:07:45,916
that once I'm married,
my husband will be everything to me.
85
00:07:45,916 --> 00:07:48,077
I shall conduct myself as
a woman of Great Liang.
86
00:07:48,077 --> 00:07:50,336
I won't practice martial arts anymore.
87
00:07:50,336 --> 00:07:52,209
Nor will I act willfully again.
88
00:07:54,451 --> 00:07:56,266
Your Highness, don't worry.
89
00:07:56,266 --> 00:07:58,781
I always have a good sense of propriety.
90
00:07:58,781 --> 00:08:01,504
I just wish to learn from
Langya Hall's techniques.
91
00:08:01,504 --> 00:08:03,833
I'd never hurt anyone.
92
00:08:08,291 --> 00:08:09,430
Ping Zhang, don't worry.
93
00:08:09,430 --> 00:08:10,625
I've recovered.
94
00:08:10,625 --> 00:08:12,283
I'll just give her the runaround.
95
00:08:12,283 --> 00:08:14,237
Otherwise, this will be quite awkward.
96
00:08:41,265 --> 00:08:42,265
After you.
97
00:10:30,884 --> 00:10:32,202
You wrote pretty well.
98
00:10:32,202 --> 00:10:34,133
Thank you, Mother.
99
00:10:41,673 --> 00:10:45,133
You're still coughing but
you already wish to go out and play?
100
00:10:45,133 --> 00:10:47,312
Uncle Ting Sheng said this morning
101
00:10:47,312 --> 00:10:50,455
that my cousins, Ping Zhang and Ping Jing
will both be in the palace today.
102
00:10:50,455 --> 00:10:52,309
Mother, will you send someone to ask?
103
00:10:52,309 --> 00:10:53,976
If they are done with the serious matters
104
00:10:53,976 --> 00:10:55,644
can they come and play with me?
105
00:10:57,153 --> 00:10:58,260
All right.
106
00:10:58,260 --> 00:11:00,980
Go to Yixian Hall and ask for some news.
107
00:11:00,980 --> 00:11:02,269
If the banquet is over
108
00:11:02,269 --> 00:11:05,905
tell them that Crown Prince has summoned
the two young masters of Changlin Manor.
109
00:11:05,905 --> 00:11:07,120
Yes.
110
00:11:08,458 --> 00:11:09,761
Thank you, Mother!
111
00:11:31,352 --> 00:11:32,407
Fei Zhan.
112
00:11:34,643 --> 00:11:36,639
- Your Majesty.
- Who has the upper hand?
113
00:11:37,883 --> 00:11:39,615
Princess Chong Hua might be quite skilled
114
00:11:39,615 --> 00:11:41,688
but Ping Jing has the match
under his control.
115
00:11:41,688 --> 00:11:43,759
He knows where to draw the line.
116
00:11:43,759 --> 00:11:45,241
Your Majesty, please do not worry.
117
00:13:16,177 --> 00:13:17,270
Your Highness!
118
00:13:18,577 --> 00:13:19,577
Your Majesty!
119
00:13:19,577 --> 00:13:20,735
Your Highness!
120
00:13:20,735 --> 00:13:22,152
Your Highness...
121
00:13:23,783 --> 00:13:25,052
Fifth Brother!
122
00:13:25,052 --> 00:13:26,052
Your Highness!
123
00:13:27,365 --> 00:13:28,465
Fifth Brother...
124
00:13:29,465 --> 00:13:30,739
Fifth Brother!
125
00:13:30,739 --> 00:13:32,153
Your Highness...
126
00:13:34,591 --> 00:13:36,168
- Your Highness!
- Imperial Physician!
127
00:13:36,168 --> 00:13:38,870
- Summon the imperial physician.
- Summon the imperial physician!
128
00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:40,432
- Fifth Brother!
- Imperial Physician!
129
00:13:40,432 --> 00:13:42,000
Your Highness!
130
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,201
Fifth Brother...
131
00:13:47,192 --> 00:13:48,427
Your Highness!
132
00:14:03,895 --> 00:14:05,866
My cousin came here for the alliance.
133
00:14:05,866 --> 00:14:07,711
He came in good will.
134
00:14:07,711 --> 00:14:10,037
Even if Changlin Manor objects
to the peace treaty
135
00:14:10,037 --> 00:14:11,964
you didn't have to resort
to such measures!
136
00:14:11,964 --> 00:14:13,453
I didn't!
137
00:14:22,715 --> 00:14:24,139
Young Master Tuoba!
138
00:14:24,139 --> 00:14:25,798
Calm down!
139
00:14:25,798 --> 00:14:28,384
You can't resolve anything with rage!
140
00:14:43,804 --> 00:14:45,931
Prince Hui came
with the utmost sincerity.
141
00:14:45,931 --> 00:14:48,806
But, he's been assassinated
right here in the palace!
142
00:14:48,806 --> 00:14:50,931
If Your Majesty can't give us
a good explanation
143
00:14:50,931 --> 00:14:54,109
Great Yan will never let go of
this blood feud for all eternity!
144
00:15:12,529 --> 00:15:13,909
Young Master Tuoba.
145
00:15:13,909 --> 00:15:15,419
This all happened too suddenly.
146
00:15:15,419 --> 00:15:17,866
You must remain calm.
147
00:15:23,980 --> 00:15:26,173
Your Majesty, under
the watchful eyes of the guests
148
00:15:26,173 --> 00:15:28,261
it's best to appease them.
149
00:15:43,833 --> 00:15:45,302
Guards.
150
00:15:45,302 --> 00:15:46,356
Present!
151
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:49,268
Xiao Ping Jing acted recklessly.
152
00:15:49,268 --> 00:15:50,508
He is to be taken into custody.
153
00:15:50,508 --> 00:15:53,302
Lock him in the Celestial Prison
for further investigation.
154
00:15:53,302 --> 00:15:54,355
Yes!
155
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,320
Your Majesty takes advantage of the fact
156
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,482
that we're alone and
helpless in a foreign state.
157
00:15:59,482 --> 00:16:01,693
This is such a vicious crime.
158
00:16:01,693 --> 00:16:03,167
You are only detaining him?
159
00:16:06,032 --> 00:16:07,883
Young Master Tuoba!
160
00:16:07,883 --> 00:16:10,169
His Majesty has promised you
an explanation.
161
00:16:10,169 --> 00:16:15,798
Your priority now is to have
Prince Hui... properly settled.
162
00:16:46,727 --> 00:16:47,932
Your Highness...
163
00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:52,835
Your Highness!
164
00:16:55,214 --> 00:16:56,725
Your Highness!
165
00:17:00,934 --> 00:17:02,404
Your Highness...
166
00:17:04,132 --> 00:17:05,448
Your Highness...
167
00:17:07,592 --> 00:17:10,169
Xiao Ping Jing killed Prince Hui?
168
00:17:10,169 --> 00:17:12,132
That can't be true.
169
00:17:12,132 --> 00:17:14,605
I don't know the details.
170
00:17:17,714 --> 00:17:19,967
It's fortunate that
Crown Prince didn't attend.
171
00:17:22,813 --> 00:17:25,669
Northern Yan is indeed a militant nation.
172
00:17:25,669 --> 00:17:30,059
They can be truly gruesome and
bloody in their competition.
173
00:17:31,311 --> 00:17:32,311
This outcome...
174
00:17:35,259 --> 00:17:36,930
It's not what I expected.
175
00:17:36,930 --> 00:17:39,108
What should we do next?
176
00:17:39,108 --> 00:17:41,135
Mentor, please instruct us.
177
00:17:42,135 --> 00:17:43,545
This happened too suddenly.
178
00:17:43,545 --> 00:17:45,256
It's best not to act recklessly.
179
00:17:46,256 --> 00:17:49,282
Keep scouting for news and
act more cautiously.
180
00:17:49,282 --> 00:17:50,282
Yes.
181
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:56,243
[Royal Courier Inn]
182
00:17:59,396 --> 00:18:03,068
[Royal Courier Inn]
183
00:18:09,241 --> 00:18:12,221
You are to stay here
and guard this place carefully.
184
00:18:12,221 --> 00:18:14,538
Give the envoys whatever they ask for.
185
00:18:14,538 --> 00:18:16,577
Try not to let them go in and out
as they please.
186
00:18:16,577 --> 00:18:20,099
Yes. But Tuoba Yu...
187
00:18:20,858 --> 00:18:23,490
If you can't stop him,
avoid any direct conflict.
188
00:18:23,490 --> 00:18:25,243
Report to me right away. Go now.
189
00:18:25,243 --> 00:18:26,243
Yes, Sir.
190
00:18:30,407 --> 00:18:32,451
This is indeed a tricky issue.
191
00:18:32,451 --> 00:18:35,294
Not to mention that the envoys of
Northern Yan didn't expect it
192
00:18:35,294 --> 00:18:40,815
but none of us... We didn't know that
the old prince objected to the treaty.
193
00:18:40,815 --> 00:18:42,402
What nonsense is that?
194
00:18:42,402 --> 00:18:43,402
Yes.
195
00:18:43,402 --> 00:18:45,134
If my brother objects to the peace treaty
196
00:18:45,134 --> 00:18:46,170
he can voice his opinion!
197
00:18:46,170 --> 00:18:47,785
Why would he need to get anyone killed?
198
00:18:52,097 --> 00:18:54,474
This is obviously just an accident!
199
00:18:54,474 --> 00:18:55,972
Yes.
200
00:18:56,972 --> 00:18:58,420
Your Majesty is wise.
201
00:18:58,420 --> 00:19:01,894
I also believe this is
no more than an accident.
202
00:19:03,367 --> 00:19:07,215
However, Prince Hui's bloody corpse
was right there before our eyes.
203
00:19:07,215 --> 00:19:12,402
I'm afraid Northern Yan won't
accept the fact that it was an accident.
204
00:19:12,402 --> 00:19:14,335
Your Majesty.
205
00:19:14,335 --> 00:19:18,566
Whether they accept the truth or not,
that is to be discussed later.
206
00:19:18,566 --> 00:19:20,836
The biggest issue at hand right now
207
00:19:20,836 --> 00:19:23,106
is that we have no one
to negotiate with them.
208
00:19:23,106 --> 00:19:26,051
Tuoba Yu might be born
of the royal family
209
00:19:26,051 --> 00:19:30,275
but he holds no official position
and acts only as a bodyguard.
210
00:19:30,275 --> 00:19:33,289
Princess Chong Hua is a woman.
211
00:19:33,289 --> 00:19:37,335
She also insists that Second Young Master
killed the prince intentionally.
212
00:19:37,335 --> 00:19:42,823
The legitimate prince of Northern Yan
was killed in the halls of Great Liang.
213
00:19:42,823 --> 00:19:46,626
Are we to have the king of Northern Yan
send another envoy here
214
00:19:46,626 --> 00:19:48,672
to discuss how to resolve this issue?
215
00:19:55,071 --> 00:19:58,369
It was just supposed to be a match
to liven up the banquet.
216
00:19:58,369 --> 00:20:01,285
How did it end up like this?
217
00:20:03,424 --> 00:20:07,422
If only Second Young Master
had been a bit more cautious.
218
00:20:15,460 --> 00:20:16,515
Your Majesty.
219
00:20:18,702 --> 00:20:19,873
Gentlemen.
220
00:20:21,453 --> 00:20:24,780
The cabinet has worked hard for days
on the negotiation for the peace treaty.
221
00:20:24,780 --> 00:20:27,537
However, we're now caught
in such a predicament.
222
00:20:27,537 --> 00:20:31,749
The Royal Changlin Manor can empathize
with your anxiety and worries.
223
00:20:32,932 --> 00:20:35,383
I hereby offer my apologies in advance.
224
00:20:42,517 --> 00:20:45,261
Your Majesty believes that
Ping Jing had no such intentions.
225
00:20:45,261 --> 00:20:47,503
I'm deeply grateful for your trust.
226
00:20:48,991 --> 00:20:51,896
However, if we are to conclude
that this matter was simply an accident
227
00:20:51,896 --> 00:20:55,317
I'm afraid it's too soon to tell.
228
00:20:57,807 --> 00:21:00,161
Ping Zhang, you mean...
229
00:21:00,161 --> 00:21:03,038
I think that all possible reasons
must be taken into consideration
230
00:21:03,038 --> 00:21:04,407
for such a serious matter.
231
00:21:04,407 --> 00:21:06,201
We shouldn't make assumptions easily.
232
00:21:06,201 --> 00:21:11,348
If Your Majesty allows,
I'd like to visit Ping Jing first.
233
00:21:11,348 --> 00:21:12,821
Go ahead!
234
00:21:12,821 --> 00:21:15,500
Ping Jing is in custody but he's
not banned from having visitors.
235
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:16,923
So go ahead and visit him.
236
00:21:16,923 --> 00:21:18,144
Thank you, Your Majesty.
237
00:21:37,122 --> 00:21:40,819
I've heard that Second Young Master
of Changlin trained in Langya Hall.
238
00:21:40,819 --> 00:21:42,451
I'm very envious.
239
00:21:42,451 --> 00:21:45,150
Since there's this opportunity,
I wonder if we can have a match?
240
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,541
But why... why would she do that?
241
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,711
[Not all the envoys of Northern Yan
share the same mind.]
242
00:22:37,073 --> 00:22:39,586
Old Hall Master Lin knew that
I'd be bored in the capital.
243
00:22:39,586 --> 00:22:43,650
That's why he sends me messages when
there are some interesting anecdotes.
244
00:22:52,923 --> 00:22:54,144
Your Highness, mind the steps.
245
00:22:57,815 --> 00:22:59,126
Which one is he in?
246
00:22:59,126 --> 00:23:00,576
The first one after the steps.
247
00:23:30,035 --> 00:23:31,413
Ping Zhang...
248
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,460
I thought that it was because
249
00:24:08,460 --> 00:24:11,378
Princess Chong Hua was furious about
being married off for an alliance.
250
00:24:11,378 --> 00:24:13,200
And that's why she
attacked me so vigorously.
251
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,035
Who knew that she would...
252
00:24:16,345 --> 00:24:19,186
It seems Princess Chong Hua
is the odd one
253
00:24:19,186 --> 00:24:21,461
that Old Hall Master Lin hinted at.
254
00:24:21,461 --> 00:24:23,053
Who else could it be but her?
255
00:24:23,053 --> 00:24:24,989
I'm certain that it wasn't
just some accident.
256
00:24:24,989 --> 00:24:28,375
Since I wasn't the one who
made the move, it had to be her.
257
00:24:29,458 --> 00:24:30,900
This happened too suddenly.
258
00:24:30,900 --> 00:24:32,450
No one paid any attention.
259
00:24:32,450 --> 00:24:34,916
Both of you now stake different claims.
260
00:24:34,916 --> 00:24:36,242
And never mind Northern Yan
261
00:24:36,242 --> 00:24:38,693
even our people who were present
262
00:24:38,693 --> 00:24:41,694
might not believe that
she did it on purpose.
263
00:24:43,286 --> 00:24:47,442
Yet this message from Langya Hall
doesn't actually say it explicitly.
264
00:24:47,442 --> 00:24:49,894
It can't be regarded as evidence.
265
00:24:49,894 --> 00:24:52,183
If we present this as evidence now
266
00:24:52,183 --> 00:24:55,368
it will make the others assume
that we're trying to frame her.
267
00:24:56,468 --> 00:25:01,336
Perhaps, an accident would be more
acceptable for most people.
268
00:25:03,968 --> 00:25:05,115
Indeed.
269
00:25:05,115 --> 00:25:08,871
Even I find it hard to believe.
270
00:25:08,871 --> 00:25:11,766
I really can't believe that
she'd resort to this.
271
00:25:12,886 --> 00:25:14,355
Prince Hui is her first cousin.
272
00:25:14,355 --> 00:25:16,614
He is the legitimate prince
of her own country.
273
00:25:17,804 --> 00:25:19,502
If Old Hall Master Lin
hadn't hinted at it
274
00:25:19,502 --> 00:25:21,613
who would have guessed
she could murder him?
275
00:25:23,092 --> 00:25:24,960
The closer you are to imperial power
276
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,935
the more likely it is
that anything can happen.
277
00:25:27,935 --> 00:25:30,077
However, we're both outsiders.
278
00:25:30,077 --> 00:25:33,369
We don't know much about
the real situation in Northern Yan.
279
00:25:33,369 --> 00:25:36,164
Even if we now know that
Princess Chong Hua thinks differently
280
00:25:36,164 --> 00:25:39,843
we can't find out the truth
just based on assumptions.
281
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,800
What about Tuoba Yu?
282
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:49,695
He should be aware of the situation.
283
00:26:05,111 --> 00:26:06,111
Master Xun.
284
00:26:08,451 --> 00:26:09,451
Guru.
285
00:26:11,159 --> 00:26:17,290
If Guru has come here because of
what had happened in Chaoyang Hall
286
00:26:17,290 --> 00:26:20,266
I'm afraid that you'll be disappointed.
287
00:26:23,638 --> 00:26:25,797
As for the match between me
and Princess Chong Hua
288
00:26:25,797 --> 00:26:27,705
I wasn't even the one who suggested it.
289
00:26:28,576 --> 00:26:30,207
Once Tuoba Yu has calmed down
290
00:26:30,207 --> 00:26:32,488
he'll figure out that
it wasn't as simple as it seems.
291
00:26:32,488 --> 00:26:35,250
What enemies does Prince Hui
have in Northern Yan?
292
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:37,615
What means would his enemies resort to?
293
00:26:37,615 --> 00:26:39,915
Tuoba Yu surely knows that
more clearly than we do.
294
00:26:39,915 --> 00:26:41,874
If we get to talk to Tuoba Yu--
295
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,319
Ping Zhang, what is it?
296
00:26:49,258 --> 00:26:52,904
Perhaps, the key doesn't lie in
what the truth is.
297
00:26:52,904 --> 00:26:55,855
Or in what Tuoba Yu
will eventually believe.
298
00:26:57,086 --> 00:26:58,662
Ping Jing...
299
00:27:00,182 --> 00:27:04,509
Once Prince Hui is dead,
whoever his political opponent is...
300
00:27:05,387 --> 00:27:08,744
that person has already won.
301
00:27:08,744 --> 00:27:10,057
He has already won?
302
00:27:10,057 --> 00:27:11,307
Give it some thought.
303
00:27:11,307 --> 00:27:14,037
Prince Hui was soon to be
anointed as the crown prince.
304
00:27:14,037 --> 00:27:17,555
Once he's dead, the political situation
in Northern Yan is sure to be unstable.
305
00:27:17,555 --> 00:27:20,151
Whoever gets hold of power eventually
306
00:27:20,151 --> 00:27:24,069
that person will only consider
his own benefits.
307
00:27:24,069 --> 00:27:26,518
Not the truth behind Prince Hui's death.
308
00:27:26,518 --> 00:27:30,671
As for how he intends to make use
of his death against us...
309
00:27:32,012 --> 00:27:33,676
there's no way we can predict it.
310
00:27:37,172 --> 00:27:39,939
However, there's one thing
we can be sure of.
311
00:27:39,939 --> 00:27:42,336
It won't do Great Liang any good.
312
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,173
I wonder if it's my misconception.
313
00:27:50,173 --> 00:27:57,546
Since we had that chat in Qiantian Yard,
Master Xun seems to be...
314
00:27:57,546 --> 00:27:59,769
somewhat indifferent to me?
315
00:27:59,769 --> 00:28:03,314
I was a bit too anxious the other time.
316
00:28:03,314 --> 00:28:07,807
Fortunately, Fei Zhan's
words reminded me.
317
00:28:09,834 --> 00:28:12,528
Commander General Xun's words?
318
00:28:12,528 --> 00:28:18,144
If Guru can command a skilled
fighter like Duan Tong Zhou at will...
319
00:28:19,176 --> 00:28:23,797
it seems that you're far more
remarkable than I had thought.
320
00:28:24,797 --> 00:28:28,847
However hard I think about it,
I find it difficult to believe
321
00:28:28,847 --> 00:28:33,083
that Guru suddenly interfered
in political disputes
322
00:28:33,083 --> 00:28:36,150
just to repay the empress
for acknowledging your ability.
323
00:28:38,791 --> 00:28:43,407
I, Xun Bai Shui, do not
easily make allies.
324
00:28:43,407 --> 00:28:46,772
If I did, I wouldn't be
in this position now.
325
00:28:46,772 --> 00:28:50,978
If Guru can't be honest with me
326
00:28:50,978 --> 00:28:56,047
I'm afraid that we won't be able
to keep collaborating.
327
00:29:04,705 --> 00:29:05,973
Master Xun.
328
00:29:11,836 --> 00:29:16,892
It seems that I'll have to
confess some matters to you today.
329
00:29:33,971 --> 00:29:38,748
I know that the peace treaty was
what Father had been hoping for.
330
00:29:40,036 --> 00:29:41,211
But now...
331
00:29:42,494 --> 00:29:43,856
It's all gone up in smoke.
332
00:29:44,875 --> 00:29:45,997
Hasn't it?
333
00:29:50,007 --> 00:29:51,993
Prince Hui was the one
who drafted the treaty.
334
00:29:51,993 --> 00:29:54,790
Now that he's dead,
the treaty is surely invalid.
335
00:29:55,804 --> 00:29:59,116
The future development
can't be counted on either.
336
00:29:59,116 --> 00:30:01,627
Those officials worked
so hard on this for a long time.
337
00:30:01,627 --> 00:30:04,068
It's understandable that
they complain about it.
338
00:30:04,068 --> 00:30:07,161
I had a great many chances
to read this message in advance.
339
00:30:07,161 --> 00:30:08,550
But why didn't I?
340
00:30:11,123 --> 00:30:12,872
If only I had been more cautious.
341
00:30:19,553 --> 00:30:20,949
Don't say such silly words.
342
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:24,252
However smart you might be
343
00:30:24,252 --> 00:30:28,631
you couldn't have
foreseen such an incident.
344
00:30:37,902 --> 00:30:39,297
Ping Zhang...
345
00:30:40,787 --> 00:30:42,402
What should we do next?
346
00:30:46,538 --> 00:30:51,912
Everyone knows that His Majesty
and the empress think differently.
347
00:30:51,912 --> 00:30:54,877
He doesn't believe in my White Cult.
348
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,712
Although I get to enter the palace freely
and am addressed as Guru
349
00:31:00,712 --> 00:31:08,144
I am no more than some occultist
who helps relieve his asthma symptoms.
350
00:31:09,973 --> 00:31:11,310
That's all.
351
00:31:11,310 --> 00:31:17,833
It sounds as if Guru is quite
displeased about that.
352
00:31:20,782 --> 00:31:24,696
I'm confident of my ability in reading
God's will and devising strategies.
353
00:31:24,696 --> 00:31:26,057
I'm talented.
354
00:31:26,057 --> 00:31:29,203
However, due to my identity
as an occultist
355
00:31:29,203 --> 00:31:32,792
I'm afraid it's unlikely that I will
be able to put my abilities to good use
356
00:31:32,792 --> 00:31:36,383
in the Imperial Court of
the reigning emperor of Great Liang.
357
00:31:36,383 --> 00:31:39,759
In history, the best way to attain
great achievements has always been...
358
00:31:42,903 --> 00:31:44,928
assisting a newly throned ruler.
359
00:31:46,058 --> 00:31:49,130
Since the empress acknowledges
my capability
360
00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:52,636
I just wish to use this opportunity to
achieve unsurpassable merits
361
00:31:52,636 --> 00:31:54,662
during Crown Prince's future reign.
362
00:31:54,662 --> 00:32:00,185
In hopes of becoming the future
State Preceptor.
363
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,817
You aim to become the State Preceptor?
364
00:32:09,218 --> 00:32:14,260
Master Xun thinks that
my goal is a bit absurd?
365
00:32:18,721 --> 00:32:20,492
Now that I've given it some thought...
366
00:32:23,099 --> 00:32:25,442
Nothing is impossible.
367
00:32:25,442 --> 00:32:27,702
Prince of Changlin is not
a religious believer either.
368
00:32:27,702 --> 00:32:29,415
As long as he is in power...
369
00:32:30,583 --> 00:32:36,597
however ambitious I might be,
my efforts will all just be in vain.
370
00:32:36,597 --> 00:32:43,071
In regards to that, don't Master Xun
and I share the same goal?
371
00:32:49,992 --> 00:32:52,151
You should know
what the current situation is like.
372
00:32:52,151 --> 00:32:54,624
Both parties have their own scruples.
373
00:32:54,624 --> 00:32:57,646
There's still a civil war
in Northern Yan.
374
00:32:57,646 --> 00:33:00,179
They can't guard the border
at the same time.
375
00:33:00,179 --> 00:33:02,571
That's why they came to
negotiate a peace treaty with us.
376
00:33:03,795 --> 00:33:05,885
His Majesty and
the officials didn't think
377
00:33:05,885 --> 00:33:09,817
that Northern Yan would escalate
this incident until it got out of hand.
378
00:33:11,770 --> 00:33:14,820
However, the death of a legitimate prince
isn't some trivial matter.
379
00:33:16,074 --> 00:33:17,782
If we fail to appease them
380
00:33:17,782 --> 00:33:21,910
the king of Northern Yan might still
seek revenge despite the consequences.
381
00:33:21,910 --> 00:33:25,490
That is why I said that
both parties have their own scruples.
382
00:33:25,490 --> 00:33:28,009
His Majesty has always been
very warm-natured.
383
00:33:28,009 --> 00:33:30,230
He also wishes to protect you.
384
00:33:30,230 --> 00:33:32,096
Although he didn't say it outright
385
00:33:32,096 --> 00:33:35,969
I guess he'd rather have
everyone assume
386
00:33:35,969 --> 00:33:38,027
that Prince Hui's death was an accident.
387
00:33:38,027 --> 00:33:40,075
He wants this conflict to die down.
388
00:33:41,217 --> 00:33:43,404
However, Prince Hui was
indeed killed in the palace.
389
00:33:43,404 --> 00:33:45,236
He died in the palace hall
of Great Liang.
390
00:33:45,236 --> 00:33:50,666
Any way you look at it,
we will seem guilty in some way.
391
00:33:51,813 --> 00:33:55,516
If we are to appease Northern Yan,
how can His Majesty not make compromises?
392
00:34:06,621 --> 00:34:11,847
Guru, you mean to say that
even if the cabinet makes no effort
393
00:34:11,847 --> 00:34:15,121
His Majesty will also
choose to make compromises?
394
00:34:15,121 --> 00:34:18,626
This is going to be a cold case
that can't be solved.
395
00:34:18,626 --> 00:34:21,123
The outcome is unpredictable
if the debate strains on.
396
00:34:21,123 --> 00:34:22,994
Once the situation turns for the worse
397
00:34:22,994 --> 00:34:26,391
Xiao Ping Jing will just be convicted
with a more severe sentence.
398
00:34:26,391 --> 00:34:30,510
His Majesty will compromise
in order to protect
399
00:34:30,510 --> 00:34:32,054
the Second Young Master of Changlin.
400
00:34:32,054 --> 00:34:34,717
The old prince loves his son.
401
00:34:34,717 --> 00:34:36,947
He also knows His Majesty the best.
402
00:34:36,947 --> 00:34:39,507
Therefore, he surely won't object to it.
403
00:34:42,733 --> 00:34:47,967
However, if Great Liang compromises,
won't it appear to the others
404
00:34:47,967 --> 00:34:49,806
that we are at fault?
405
00:34:49,806 --> 00:34:52,318
We acted recklessly and
killed the prince by accident?
406
00:34:52,318 --> 00:34:55,574
Compared to initiating
a conflict between two states
407
00:34:55,574 --> 00:34:58,704
it might seem less serious
408
00:34:58,704 --> 00:35:01,797
but still, he would have
committed a crime.
409
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,588
Exactly.
410
00:35:04,588 --> 00:35:06,463
Once His Majesty chooses to compromise
411
00:35:06,463 --> 00:35:10,103
the current conflict might be
appeased for the time being
412
00:35:10,103 --> 00:35:12,708
but the peace treaty
that was almost compete
413
00:35:12,708 --> 00:35:15,313
will surely be annulled.
414
00:35:15,313 --> 00:35:17,681
At the moment,
the loss of such great benefits
415
00:35:17,681 --> 00:35:20,574
and any battles that Northern Yan
initiates against Great Liang
416
00:35:20,574 --> 00:35:22,342
with this as a justified cause
417
00:35:22,342 --> 00:35:26,132
will all be regarded as
Xiao Ping Jing's responsibility.
418
00:35:26,132 --> 00:35:27,945
He can no longer defend himself.
419
00:35:27,945 --> 00:35:31,081
As for what Master Xun
was worried about a month ago
420
00:35:31,081 --> 00:35:33,851
that will not be of any concern now.
421
00:35:35,731 --> 00:35:38,248
Shouldn't you rejoice over that?
422
00:35:40,875 --> 00:35:43,358
It does please me.
423
00:35:44,556 --> 00:35:49,268
But Xiao Ping Jing is no more than
an idler in the Royal Changlin Manor.
424
00:35:49,268 --> 00:35:52,242
Ruining his reputation makes
no difference
425
00:35:52,242 --> 00:35:55,213
to the situation in Jinling.
426
00:35:57,507 --> 00:36:01,675
Therefore, there's not much
to rejoice over.
427
00:36:02,715 --> 00:36:05,083
Master Xun, why are you sulking?
428
00:36:06,186 --> 00:36:09,510
The old prince is turning 70.
429
00:36:09,510 --> 00:36:14,900
Master Xun, you should target the younger
generation of the Royal Changlin Manor.
430
00:36:16,699 --> 00:36:22,233
Even so, military power won't be
handed over to Second Young Master.
431
00:36:22,233 --> 00:36:23,873
Who doesn't know
432
00:36:23,873 --> 00:36:29,724
that Xiao Ping Zhang is the future master
of the Royal Changlin Manor?
433
00:36:33,697 --> 00:36:36,219
An obese man becomes overweight
by eating day after day.
434
00:36:38,201 --> 00:36:42,925
We have to take them down
one at a time.
435
00:37:49,197 --> 00:37:51,175
Your Majesty,
you should head back inside.
436
00:38:21,427 --> 00:38:23,824
Your Highness,
the first born prince has returned.
437
00:38:25,893 --> 00:38:26,990
Father.
438
00:38:38,036 --> 00:38:39,577
What did Ping Jing say?
439
00:38:41,922 --> 00:38:43,978
It's more or less what we deduced.
440
00:38:43,978 --> 00:38:45,851
It was no accident.
441
00:38:45,851 --> 00:38:48,123
But we have no way of proving it.
442
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,043
We can't prove it?
443
00:38:54,844 --> 00:38:58,056
Then we can't defend him
of the crime pinned on him...
444
00:39:00,208 --> 00:39:03,077
Father, you stayed behind
in the palace a while longer than I did.
445
00:39:03,077 --> 00:39:04,951
What did His Majesty say later?
446
00:39:06,278 --> 00:39:08,751
You know what His Majesty is like.
447
00:39:08,751 --> 00:39:10,769
He's already decided to compromise.
448
00:39:10,769 --> 00:39:13,588
He'll offer Northern Yan
some flexible conditions.
449
00:39:13,588 --> 00:39:18,429
He wishes to pacify the current conflict
before discussing anything else.
450
00:39:23,422 --> 00:39:24,646
No.
451
00:39:24,646 --> 00:39:26,414
I disagree.
452
00:39:29,605 --> 00:39:30,608
What?
453
00:39:30,608 --> 00:39:32,126
What did you say?
454
00:39:33,773 --> 00:39:35,012
I disagree.
455
00:39:37,900 --> 00:39:39,197
What do you disagree with?
456
00:39:39,197 --> 00:39:41,347
I disagree with His Majesty's
decision to compromise.
457
00:39:42,918 --> 00:39:45,686
Once we compromise, it's as good
as admitting that we're at fault.
458
00:39:45,686 --> 00:39:47,989
Not only would that allow
others to have something on us
459
00:39:47,989 --> 00:39:49,894
but it's also unfair
to Ping Jing's future.
460
00:39:49,894 --> 00:39:53,409
As Ping Jing's older brother,
who knows that he did nothing wrong
461
00:39:53,409 --> 00:39:55,724
I can't have him admit
to what he didn't do.
462
00:39:58,532 --> 00:40:00,592
I know that you find it hard to accept.
463
00:40:00,592 --> 00:40:04,822
However, apart from
Ping Jing's own argument
464
00:40:04,822 --> 00:40:09,135
we don't even have an explanation for
Princess Chong Hua's actions.
465
00:40:10,324 --> 00:40:12,625
If we were to accuse her strongly...
466
00:40:13,824 --> 00:40:15,188
It's too big a risk.
467
00:40:15,188 --> 00:40:16,639
The consequences are unpredictable.
468
00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:20,141
Once we initiate a conflict
between the states...
469
00:40:20,141 --> 00:40:24,396
Wouldn't that only make
Ping Jing's offense even worse?
470
00:40:24,396 --> 00:40:29,173
If we compromise, can
the outcome then be predicted?
471
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,952
In history, benefits
are always the priority
472
00:40:32,952 --> 00:40:35,143
in the competition between two states.
473
00:40:35,143 --> 00:40:38,021
Not everyone cares about the truth.
474
00:40:38,021 --> 00:40:40,047
Northern Yan suffers from a civil unrest.
475
00:40:40,047 --> 00:40:42,143
If His Majesty is willing
to offer them benefits
476
00:40:42,143 --> 00:40:44,094
this crisis might somehow be appeased.
477
00:40:44,094 --> 00:40:45,690
However, what will it cost us?
478
00:40:46,853 --> 00:40:49,766
Not only will Ping Jing have to
be blamed for a crime he didn't commit
479
00:40:49,766 --> 00:40:52,456
but Northern Yan can use
this matter as an excuse anytime
480
00:40:52,456 --> 00:40:54,938
to break the treaty that we establish.
481
00:40:54,938 --> 00:41:01,034
Therefore, I don't think that
appeasing them is the best solution.
482
00:41:36,682 --> 00:41:38,440
Your Majesty?
483
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,148
Your Majesty is feeling unwell.
484
00:41:40,148 --> 00:41:42,061
It's best to summon
the imperial physician.
485
00:41:42,061 --> 00:41:43,432
I'm all right.
486
00:41:43,432 --> 00:41:45,128
I stood up too quickly.
487
00:41:47,206 --> 00:41:49,972
I still have important matters
to discuss with the officials today.
488
00:41:49,972 --> 00:41:51,487
Get me dressed.
489
00:41:51,487 --> 00:41:52,487
Yes.
490
00:41:55,518 --> 00:42:00,518
