=The Maid Ballad=

=Episode 24=

At present,

there is just one person

who can save the nation.

Silent.

I

have ascended to the throne today.

It's inappropriate.

There has to be a decree

of abdication to prove

and convince everyone.

Lord Lin.

He is vomiting blood.

Lord Lin.

You're too proud

of your merits.

I

am not Chen Tongxue.

If you're unwell,

leave the imperial court

and rest in your mansion.

It's fine to be absent

from this court.

The Crown Prince has risen to rebellion.

I'll fight him till death.

Either to leave or stay,

you make your own decision.

Share life and death.

From today onwards,

I

am the Emperor.

Who has an objection?

Me.

I have an objection.

You're still alive.

Sorry.

I've let you down.

It makes no difference

for me to kill you now.

I'll hold the Crown Prince up.

Find He Lingying the soonest.

Unblock the power of Kunyin in her.

To deal against the Crown Prince,

we need to borrow the power of Kunyin in you.

How to unblock the power?

The technique of the frozen knot.

My mother should have an idea.

You're brought here.

The Crown Prince

must have taken his action.

My father is dead.

Please help me.

Only

the power of Kunyin

can deal against Taiyin Heart Sutra of the Crown Prince.

I can unblock

the power of Kunyin in you

but you need to join hands with Qiancao

to deal against Taiyin Heart Sutra.

Thank you.

I'll repay you

if there is still a chance.

Get up.

Brother.

Stop being obsessed.

(Hall of Proclaiming Governance)

It's you.

Are you okay?

I won't be okay

if you come later than now.

Why do you always want to show off?

You need me to save you every time.

He Lingying will be in danger

if you don't help her now.

Go to hell.

Although the power in you

has grown immensely,

you're too weak after all.

Don't.

He has killed so many lives.

He deserves death.

I want to avenge my father.

He has committed the most heinous crimes

but he'll be punished by the law.

Lingying,

even when your father is dead,

the He clan needs you.

By the mandate of heaven,

the Emperor decrees.

The Crown Prince attempted usurping the throne.

He disrupted the imperial court

and practised the prohibited sutra,

resulting in chaotic nation.

It's a capital crime.

He has been removed from the Crown Prince

and demoted to a commoner.

He is a wanted criminal

to be brought to justice.

(Imperial Decree) Second Prince Chen Tongxue

earns merits from protecting the nation.

He has good character

and talent.

He is made the Crown Prince

to move into the East Palace

to unite the nation

and the people.

I

have been ill.

I cannot be long absent

from dealing with the daily affairs

hence I order

the Crown Prince to share the burden.

He'll support the Emperor and supervise the nation.

All departmental reports

will be gone through by the Crown Prince.

End of decree.

I accept the decree.

Long live, my father.

Long live, Your Majesty.

Long live, His Highness.

Report.

Report.

Your Majesty.

The border has been breached.

Our soldiers can't hold it anymore.

General Wei.

General Wei was killed in the battle.

Also.

Also.

What is it?

Speak up.

The former Crown Prince has gone over

to Kun State.

What a disobedient son.

Father.

Send me on a diplomatic Ladyion to Kun State

to bring back the former Crown Prince

and secure Wei State.

The situation in the court is still unstable.

You have to

sit in the court.

Your Majesty.

I'm willing

to lead the Night Army to an expedition

against Kun State

and reclaim the three

cities of Wei State.

Good.

I approve it.

Xuan Qiancao.

You'll lead an expedition

as the Protector General.

Yes.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

(Take care.)

Go.

(Qiancao.)

(I'll protect you with my life)

(if you're right beside me.)

(This is my duty.)

(Wait for the good news.)

(Qiancao.)

(I'll wait for you.)

(I'll keep waiting.)

It's been a long while,

Prince Yue Shuye.

Aren't you resigned to it?

Why?

Have you resigned to it?

Why don't we make a deal?

Help me retrieve the throne.

I give you half

of the cities of Wei State.

Why?

Do you disagree to it?

I agree.

But I only ask for a woman.

Xuan Qiancao.
