Original subtitles

You woke up?

I sorted your meridians out already

and your Qi and blood are recovered.

But the Joint Sun and Moon

may still consume you,

so you should always adjust your Qi.

Why did you save me?

Because you have many things to do,

you shouldn't die there.

You're badly wounded.

Don't move about.

Listen up, stop moving about.

I don't have much time.

Just listen

to me carefully.

Your father was so smart

that he made a long-term plan.

She will threat me with our child,

so

you'll be the first to kill me

and gain Wei Yunlan's trust,

She'll remember my kindness

and keep the child alive

only when I die.

For all your experiences

and all the skills you learned

such as the martial arts of

the Afterglow Villa and Ye Guhong,

you really think you got them by luck?

No.

Because I paved the way for you,

it was also your father's arrangement,

so

his death might make you an excellent man.

What happened exactly?

Didn't you kill my father?

Yes.

I did kill Shen Quan

and fulfilled his wish,

but do you know this?

When Wei Yunlan

and Shu Rou rebelled,

they killed many royal families and courtiers

as well as Wei Yunlan's sister,

the real successor to the throne.

Since your father knew everything,

they were afraid that he'd rebuild

the Night Court to

rectify everything

and to

expose their crimes,

so

they wanted him dead.

I don't understand.

Why must he die because they wanted it?

Why didn't he resist?

Because

he was reluctant to kill Wei Yunlan.

Besides,

they had you,

a hostage to them.

If he didn't die,

you would.

So much...

So much for my mission,

but not for you.

Since the true successor is dead,

you shall rebuild the Great Chu.

Now

I'm entrusting everything to you.

You must live on well.

Luckily, you're tough enough.

I was always worried

that you'd be confused by love

as your father was,

so

I always tried to kill Shu Cheng.

Don't blame me.

Episode 6

The Joint Sun and Moon

pushes back so hard.

Your Majesty.

My Lord.

It's been a while since you were editing books

in the Imperial Academy, how're you?

I'm fine.

Since I can't handle the country affairs,

I enjoy editing all kinds of books.

Each time we were together,

I remembered our study in the childhood.

You accompanied me in study everyday,

it was a wonderful time.

You're a wise Emperor who always

remembers our past.

Shu, she's renowned

for her frankness and humility,

besides, we're old friends.

Shu,

why not do her a favor

and let your daughter marry her son?

Are you satisfied with this thing?

Look,

if you think her son

isn't noble enough,

I can recognize him as my adopted son,

then he'll get married as a prince,

how's that?

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Shu,

what do you think?

She doesn't know

what to say since I mentioned it suddenly.

I never saw you being like this,

interesting.

I'm glad to hear your arrangement.

Please let me go back to tell my stupid daughter.

She's the royal princess after all,

she deserves to know it.

Someone.

Yes?

Inform Cheng'er of this marriage

to cheer her up.

Besides, prepare something to eat,

we will have a drink with them.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

What did the kid say?

Just tell me.

She said she appreciated it

and let me get lost.

The countries at war don't kill the enemy's envoy,

that kid

dared to scold my official.

It seems she doesn't accept

the marriage I granted.

Your Majesty, that kid...

Cheng'er's so stubborn.

Since she hasn't eaten for days,

I guess she's too hungry to think clearly.

I don't mind.

Sit.

What do you think about the Murongs?

The Supreme Court sued them for corruption and encroachment.

The Censorate sued them for poor family customs.

The judgement for those charges is flexible,

so they're at your mercy.

You spoke so frankly.

Several days ago, Cheng'er told me

that we should punish all the Murongs

along with Murong Wanqing,

I did it as she said.

Guess what?

Now Cheng'er begs me

to pardon the Murongs.

Isn't she making trouble for me?

They've been close friends since they were children.

Murong Wanqing values her family,

I'm sure she begged Shu Cheng

to plead her family,

that was why Cheng'er changed her mind,

she didn't mean to make trouble.

See?

Their friendship

is like ours before so much,

which is touching.

Cheng'er is so young

that she doesn't know

our past.

She also has no idea

that one should have chips to help the others.

Otherwise, not only she will die,

the others will be implicated, too.

Let me teach her a good lesson then.

Send my oral edict,

kill Murong Wanqing first,

then all the Murongs.

Yes.

Your majesty.

Su,

I still value our friendship.

I didn't change,

so I also hope

you didn't, either.

Don't think you can do anything

because I value friendship.

I'll keep it in my mind.

Let's eat.

Murong Wanqing ate Her Majesty's fish,

so Her Majesty granted

Murong Wanqing white silk to kill herself.

Guards.

Why's you again?

Shen Cong.

What's the relation between you and I?

Why do you interfere in my business?

You're really an ingrate.

Shouldn't you thank me first?

Don't you know

not only the Murongs,

even Shu Cheng

will be implicated because I escaped?

I just know you can't die now.

How did you know I'd be killed today?

You just had

some gruel recently,

you need strength to flee.

Have some water and food.

Recently?

Did you...

I was guarding outside

and I saw it.

I made it so clear before.

There's no way

I'll love you.

You're still flattering yourself.

Like I said,

your life is mine,

so nobody

can take it but me.

Mudan will send you away.

I'll take your life

when the Murongs are convicted.

Send me back.

You'll die.

Even if I'll die,

I can't be the criminal of the Murongs.

You're already

a criminal to them,

so they all want you dead.

Didn't you want to kill me long ago?

Why don't you do it now?

I'm sick of being killed

and being saved.

I haven't seen you suffering enough

and being destroyed physically and mentally,

so I won't let you die easily,

it's a mercy for you.

What's wrong with you?

What grudge do you have against me?

Why're you treating me in this way?

Why don't you just kill me?

Full of crap.

You think I won't kill you?

I offer you one chance only.

Leave with him.

I won't leave

unless I'm dead.

Go back.

From now on,

I won't interfere in your business.

Wanqing.

Are you alright?

You let me play with you,

to think that I played with my life.

What?

Are you regretful?

There's nothing to be regretful about.

What happened is happened.

I'll feel better if you can live on well.

Throw me to

the mass graves after I die

and burn some paper money for me in festivals,

then I'll have fun in the underworld.

I'll try,

but you know

I have bad memories.

Whatever.

If I meet

pretty male ghost down there,

I'll keep watching him for you.

It was my fault.

I implicated you,

I apologize to you.

Stop it.

You're the prime royal princess of the Great Chu

and the most important person to me.

Don't you be so soft.

From the first day I met you,

I did all the things for you

out of my own mind.

So there's nothing to regret for.

I'm going in then.

Wanqing.

Her Majesty cancelled the order

and wouldn't hurt you.

You're free to go home.

Remember

to eat well.

Thank you for saving Wanqing.

Her Majesty agreed to

release her

if I'd follow her order.

Don't worry.

She'll be safe for now.

Your Grace, please go back with us.

Your Majesty.

The Supreme Court reported

that Murong Wanqing turned herself in already.

I see.

Let her go back then.

Yes.

I thought you wouldn't come.

I didn't want to,

but I couldn't help to miss you.

Did you accept the marriage?

Yes.

I'm at the age of getting married,

what's more,

he's the only son of my master.

But you don't know him at all?

It doesn't matter

since Su Rongqing

can solve many problems

such as Wanqing's case

and the issue between

the Emperor and the Shus.

What about me?

Even you want to push me?

Why can't I

since the others can?

You're just an illusion

generated from my thought.

I will forget him

one day,

then

you will disappear, too.

Well then,

I shall take my leave.

I don't think we shall meet again.

Fine.

I want to

forget him soon anyways.

No.

Don't you leave.

I have to,

or you'll always suffer.

If you'll excuse me.

Take care.

Come back.

Don't leave, Shen Ye.

Shen Ye.

You're so heartless.

Here's Her Majesty's oral edict.

I'm here to

listen to the edict.

"I'm glad to see the marriage between

the Shus and the Sus.

Since it's a great event,

I will grant you a banquet to inform the country.

Since the envoy of Yan will come for celebration,

I hope Shu Cheng could behave decently

to show the elegant demeanor of our Great Chu.

She may go home afterwards

to prepare for the wedding."

As you wish.

Congratulations.

Since Yan's envoy will attend the banquet,

it'll be a national banquet.

That's a treatment a princess deserves.

So Her Majesty

is really taking you as her own child.

Thank you for comforting me.

Cheng'er, be patient.

You'll see Rongqing soon.

Thanks.

Sit.

Thank you.

You may sit, too.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Everyone, join me to celebrate

the marriage of Shu and Su.

Thanks for granting the marriage for my daughter.

Thanks for nominating the princess as my son's Lord Dear.

Well, no need to thank me in a hurry.

You two shall have a good drink

until you get drunk,

or we will postpone the date

of announcing the edict.

Cheers.

You two,

considering our custom,

shouldn't you exchange

your children's eight characters of birth?

Your Majesty, Yan Zhuang came to celebrate as Yan's envoy.

Good.

Dear courtiers,

Yan has confronted us for long.

Yan's envoy came here

to celebrate the children's marriage,

and also to sue for peace

which proves how strong our country is.

I hereby

thank you for that.

I shall thank the prime royal family member,

Shu.

Congratulation on our strong Chu.

May Great Chu ever be prosperous.

Great Chu will always be strong and prosperous.

Your Majesty, Yan Zhuang is here.

I am Yan Zhuang, the envoy of Yan.

It's an honor to meet you, Your Majesty.

Long live the Emperor of Chu.

You must be tired from the long journey.

Since Your Majesty granted

a marriage to the prime royal family,

I'd like to add more happiness.

Here's Yan's credential.

Yan will withdraw its troops and pay tribute each year.

May the two countries be friends always.

I understand the good intention

of your Emperor.

May we always be friends.

Cheng'er.

Your Majesty.

The envoy came to

celebrate your marriage,

so you shall accept the credential.

Yes.

Your Grace, when you take this,

I'd like to dance for you.

Your Grace.

What?

Protect Her Majesty.

What shall we do?

I don't know.

Nobody moves,

your royal princess is under my control,

don't try to come forward.

Wait.

Don't let him hurt Cheng'er.

Your majesty.

We'd like to invite her to visit Yan,

we'll send her back

when the border restores peace.

If you insist to stop us,

we can only

let the princess die.

No.

Your Majesty, I'd rather die

than let them humiliate Chu.

Cheng'er.

Hold on.

Let them leave.

Your Grace,

it seems

I have to dance for you back in Yan.

Your Majesty, please don't follow us.

We can let you go

if you keep Cheng'er safe.

Tell your Emperor,

should anything happen to Cheng'er,

I will obliterate Yan.

Trust me,

if you really let us leave,

she will be safe.

Make way.

Step back.

Cheng'er.

What to do?

What shall we do?

That's...

This is ridiculous.

They kidnapped Cheng'er right in front of me.

Yan went too far.

The Supreme Court.

Your Majesty.

Investigate the Foreign Affairs Office now,

see if someone colludes with Yan.

Even if nobody does,

all shall be punished for dereliction of duty.

Yes.

Wait.

No need to investigate.

Close down it and arrest all its officials.

As you wish.

Your Majesty, please let me

chase Yan Zhuang with the Capital Garrison.

No.

Cheng'er is your daughter,

you should think about her safety.

But Cheng'er will be

a burden if they arrive the border

which will harm Chu.

I can't let it happen because of her.

Shu, since you said so,

we can't put Cheng'er in danger.

Yan kidnapped her

just wanted to threaten me.

We can cede lands and cities

to keep Cheng'er safe.

Don't do that, Your Majesty.

I can't be the criminal of Chu.

Say no more. My mind is set.

Let me take the crime with you.

I take Cheng'er as my own daughter,

so I won't let anything happen to her.

Your Majesty.

I will never let Chu suffer a loss

because of Cheng'er.

Please trust me.

All right.

Leave, all of you.

- Yes. - Yes.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

My mother's letter said

that everything is ready,

we're waiting for your order.

Mother.

Why are you

in armor?

Please let me

kill Yan's envoy and bring Shu Cheng back.

You'd better stay in your palace.

I won't allow it.

Please give me a chance to make contribution.

I know you so well,

you're way too rash.

I wonder if you could stop them,

even if you can,

will you care about Shu Cheng's life?

Mother.

The Shus are our courtiers after all,

since they've grown strong,

we shall annihilate them

through Yan's people.

Silence.

You think you're the smartest?

Do I need you to tell me if they can be

wiped out so easily?

Remember,

we need to make it

step by step

discreetly.

I know

you've been envying Shu Cheng.

But it's not the time

for you to vent your personal anger.

Mother.

What's more,

don't you hold sword

and wear armor to see me again,

or I'll take it as a rebellion.

I dare not to do that.

I don't think you dare

as a loser.

Remember,

Shu Cheng won't die

for our family,

but

I

won't let her become a future threat.

My Lord.

How's he?

My brother just spat blood and his wound lacerated.

You may leave.

Yes.

Don't get up, just lie down.

I pushed myself

to use the strength before I got recovered.

I couldn't be helpful

if I went forward,

it might also get her killed.

And

you'll show them your appearance.

You did it right.

Just recuperate,

we're all working on that matter.

Did Her Majesty

let Yan's envoy leave the capital with Shu Cheng?

Yes,

she didn't stop them

or let the Shus march out,

saying she wants to keep Cheng'er safe.

Shu Cheng

will be safe in our territory,

but things will change in Yan.

She seemed to

arrange for the marriage,

but she was up to something else.

You mean

Her Majesty is behind this?

What else do you think?

We can let you go

if you keep Cheng'er safe.

She seemed to stop chasing out of kindness,

but it was fishy when I think about it now.

Once Shu Cheng reaches Yan,

they'll use Shu Cheng to coerce the Shus,

which will harm Chu gravely.

Her Majesty never compromised,

wouldn't she put herself in a dilemma?

She may compromise

and she may keep compromising

to get a fame of caring for the courtiers

and being loyal to her friends.

Then she may shift all the people's anger

onto the Shus.

If that's true,

she's getting more vicious.

How could she use a child?

Any countermeasure?

I thought she'd keep her word

when I risked my life.

To think that she determined to kill Shu Cheng

and to make full use of her death.

I'm afraid her death

will start the doom of the Shus.

That's her intention.

It's been seven days,

they should reach the border.

Her Majesty forbade us to chase them,

saying it was for Cheng'er's safety.

But Lord Shu sent urgent letter

to let us intercept them,

regardless of their lives,

including Cheng'er's.

A general may not follow the Emperor's order outside.

If the princess is taken to Yan,

our army and Lord Shu

will be in passive situation.

Lord Shu is a righteous person,

I think we should take action now.

No.

The princess will be our lord

and commander,

I think we should

do it discreetly

to keep her alive.

Commander-in-chief,

Yan's army moved forward for 15,000 meters

and crossed the border

to receive their confederates and to sound us out.

Anyway,

please make the decision now.

Intercept the enemy

to protect the princess.

Should anything happen to her,

I will

kill myself

to apologize to Lord Shu.

Yes.

Commander-in-chief, you have a visitor.

I'm busy on military business, I see nobody.

He said it was about the princess

and he must see you.

You'll be untied

when we reach the border.

So just put up with it.

Anyway, don't worry,

I'll serve you carefully.

Do you know you're in serious trouble?

You're not serious trouble,

but the largest amulet to our Yan.

If Chu's army

knows we have you,

they won't fight against us.

So you alone

can save thousands of our soldiers.

I will always remember your merit.

You won't release me

even if Chu compromises?

You're right.

How could we release you

since we managed to get you?

Your frankness is detesting.

Why don't you tell me

more frankly

that if my Emperor ordered you

to kidnap me?

You're blunt, too.

How could we make it smoothly

without her support?

So she wants to use Yan to kill me.

Not just that,

my mother will have a higher reputation

by using you to gain more interest for Yan.

I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm the son of Yan Ru who's the Prime Minister of Yan.

It's an honor to see you.

To think that you're such a noble,

it's a pleasure.

So when will you take the action?

Greetings, Commander-in-chief.

Could you tell me

the way you'll handle the princess's matter?

I can't tell you since it's a grave thing.

Please tell me who you are and your purpose.

My brother sent me to

tell you to let Yan's envoy

and the princess leave our country.

How dare you?

We're going to kill you

after using you,

then we'll wait for Chu's army to come after us.

Yan will lose some cities

because we can't confront you.

When the people get fury,

my mother will force the Emperor to abdicate.

You really don't have to be so frank.

I'm not interested in

the things which are not my concern.

It shows

that I'm determined not to release you.

Since I told you these,

I'm taking you as a member of us.

My mother will counterattack after the coronation.

Then our Emperor

will impede the Shus

or sell the Shus to you.

When the people of Chu get resentful,

she'll tell them that the Shus care for our own interest only,

so she'll deprive the military power

from us

and lead the army to fight the war in person.

The two countries will restore peace and get what they want.

You're pretty smart.

That was our plan

Was?

Something is changed?

I don't think your Emperor

is too vicious to be a good partner,

but I think

you are a good partner.

You really think

I will betray my country for my own interest?

I won't kill you,

but keep you safe instead

because I've decided

to marry you.

So your family have to rebel,

Yan and I

will assist you.

Then

Yan and Chu will always be close

as a family.

What do you think, Your Grace?

I feel sick.

Are you telling me to

give the princess to the enemy?

It seems your brother is up to something.

My brother wants to save the princess

and to get you out of trouble.

If anyone can manipulate me

in the name of the princess,

I can no longer be the Commander-in-chief.

I'm sure

you received the orders

from Her Majesty and Lord Shu,

only they

can make you be in a dilemma.

I have the letter of the third person,

my brother

told me to give it to you.

Su Qi sent you?

Yes.

Lord Su also has a message for you.

She just wants to keep the princess safe

as you do,

nothing else.

I'm sure

you know that clearly.

What will they do then?

Please let

Yan's people and the princess leave.

Then my brother will be waiting for them.

We're already in Yan's territory,

you may have a good rest.

Do you sense something wrong?

Cut the crap and tell me.

I was afraid that Shu Huang would stop us,

but it seemed she avoided us on purpose.

Is Shu Huang your aunt?

You must have

suffered too much from her.

Shu Huang does have some reputation,

but she did it wisely this time.

I'm the Prime Minister Yan Ru's son,

I brought the royal princess of Chu,

open the gate.

Open the gate right now.

Something's wrong indeed.

This is Yan's land,

you should give up now.

Open the gate.

Yes.

Please, Your Grace.

It's right to wait for you here.
