Why did all these people outside

die in an instant?

- Empress Dowager! - Empress Dowager!

The Empress Dowager came back to life!

=A League of Nobleman=

=Episode 28=

Isn't the Empress Dowager in the coffin?

How could she be outside?

Exactly.

What's on the Empress Dowager?

What's this?

The letter written in blood.

Read it.

30 years ago, the prince was seriously ill

and there was no cure.

Under the guise of the Resurrection Array,

the Empress Dowager replaced him with a folk baby boy.

The witch of the Moluo Clan found out about it by chance,

and she couldn't bear it,

so she took the dying real prince away and healed him,

treating her as her own.

Impossible.

- No way. - Impossible.

This...

Go ahead.

20 years ago,

the witch wanted to return the prince

and discussed it with Mr. Lan Lin.

Unexpectedly, when the Empress Dowager heard that the real prince was alive,

she was afraid that what she did would be exposed,

so she decided to remove the source of the trouble,

and ordered the assassination of her child.

How could the Empress Dowager do such a thing?

She also killed the entire Moluo Clan

and exterminated Lan Lin's family for treason.

For 20 years, the clansmen of Moluo have never died with grievance,

and their wronged souls linger in the world, unable to leave.

God can do justice.

The Empress Dowager killed her son and exterminated a clan,

which is a serious crime.

Only when she dies tragically

can the souls of our clan rest in peace.

The Empress Dowager killed the prince,

disrupting the royal lineage?

Could it be that what Mr. Liu just said is true?

No offense.

But please show us the birth certificate.

When the Empress Dowager

ordered Xuan Ji to bury me alive,

she also handed over this page

of birth certificate to him

and ordered him to burn it.

But suddenly there was lightning

and a strong wind.

Xuan Ji felt guilty.

Seeing this, he dared not stay any longer.

Before the birth certificate was lit,

he fled away.

Later, the birth certificate

fell into the hands of my adoptive mother.

It has the palm prints of mine from childhood and that of the Empress Dowager.

You will know the truth

after comparing them.

In addition to me,

those who have seen His Majesty's birth certificate back then

also include Mr. Wang and Mr. Dou.

Please check it out.

Bring the birth certificates here.

This...

It's gone.

Why is it gone?

It's true.

Everything's

matched.

The Chief of Imperial Astronomy.

Please verify.

I have done divination calculations for the royal family for many years,

and studied countless palm prints.

I guess I can tell the truth from the false.

The baby's palm print on Dr. Gu's birth certificate

is indeed the same as his own.

The late emperor's seal and the Empress Dowager's palm print both match.

Mr. Dou.

What is the conclusion?

It has been verified to be true.

With the birth certificate as proof,

you should

have no objection, right?

This matter

is related to royal orthodoxy.

I think it's of great importance,

and needs to be discussed in the long run.

Everyone.

Who do you choose to rely on,

and how can you ensure that you succeed in the end,

instead of becoming a nobody?

We should obey God's will,

set things right, and support the return of the true emperor.

Grand Tutor Liu Xian is now leading the officials

to welcome Your Majesty to the throne.

Welcome Your Majesty to the throne.

Welcome Your Majesty to the throne.

Welcome Your Majesty to the throne.

Today is the funeral of the Empress Dowager.

The new Emperor's ascension to the throne

may not conform to the etiquette system.

Where is Vice Minister of Rites?

There are indeed precedents for the parallelism of the two rites

in the classics of all dynasties.

Protect His Majesty!

Peizhi.

Are you going to kill me?

I consider you my only true friend.

Even you want me to die?

I have no choice.

I am the real emperor.

My enthronement today

is a foregone conclusion,

and no one can stop me.

That being the case,

I want you to watch me ascend the throne with your own eyes.

Wait!

The prince was never exchanged.

And Gu Qingzhang is not the real emperor.

Zhang.

What are you doing?

I got a way.

You are really smart.

But you shouldn't go against me all the time.

Zhang.

Zhang.

Zhang.

You are betting your life on it.

If anything goes wrong, you're dead.

It's the first time I've heard of this method.

You dared to be directly stabbed by a knife.

Good for you.

It was Mr. Xiong who accurately

avoided the vital position with the knife.

It looks dangerous,

but after the bleeding stops, it will be fine.

You said that His Majesty is not the real emperor,

and there is no such thing as transferring the prince.

How do you explain

the birth certificate?

(The real birth certificate that can prove his identity as the prince)

(is in my hands.)

(Then the one with him must be fake.)

Open the coffin,

and I can prove that his birth certificate is forged.

Nonsense!

The coffin has been sealed,

how can it be opened again?

It is related to the authenticity of the royal blood,

why not open the coffin for inspection?

The Empress Dowager's body is kneeling outside the hall,

dragged out by the ghosts of the Moluo clan.

This is what everyone saw with their own eyes.

Those so-called ghosts

were all pretended by Gu Qingzhang's subordinates.

Go.

Okay.

Go.

They used the underground structure of the Immortal Instrument

to connect the underground canals and the Zhaode Hall Square,

keeping their whereabouts secret and coming and going freely.

Exactly.

Everything that happened today

is the work of men.

They played tricks in the square outside the hall just now.

We all saw it.

Nonsense!

How could manpower

transfer the Empress Dowager's body

from the coffin to the outside of the hall

in an instant?

According to what you said,

the coffin should be empty now.

Then why don't you dare to test it?

If I'm right,

there should be another Empress Dowager in the coffin.

The Empress Dowager inside the coffin

and the one outside the hall

are basically two people.

The corpse kneeling outside the hall is the fake Empress Dowager.

She never entered the coffin from beginning to end.

What are you talking about?

How can there be such similar people in the world?

He replaced the Empress Dowager with a fake one

on the Resurrection Array,

so that he could enter the palace to conduct the plan conveniently.

(That is to say,

(the one who died the day before yesterday was the fake Empress Dowager.)

(The fake Empress Dowager was not put into the coffin)

(after the grooming ceremony, )

(but was transferred to the culvert)

(by Eunuch Liu and Gu Qingzhang's subordinates.)

(The tulip ointment and mercury)

(we found in the culvert are proof.)

(Then)

(they dragged the body of the fake Empress Dowager)

(from the culvert to the outside of the palace)

(when they were playing tricks.)

(They put the letter written in blood on her, )

(creating the illusion of accusations from the ghosts.)

(And the person lying in the coffin)

(is the real Empress Dowager who was kidnapped by Gu Qingzhang)

(from Banyue Pavilion.)

(They exchanged the real Empress Dowager back)

(after the grooming ceremony, )

(and sealed her in the coffin under the witness of all of you.)

And the Empress Dowager is still alive.

Everyone.

The female officer who encoffined the Empress Dowager has confessed.

The real Empress Dowager is right in the coffin.

Guards.

Open the coffin.

General.

She's still breathing.

A silver needle inserted into this acupuncture point

can make one unable to move or speak,

but with clear consciousness,

one will recover soon after the needle is removed.

Your Majesty.

She's awake.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

What a situation.

Are you in a hurry to hold a funeral

before I die?

Since

the Empress Dowager is still alive,

please answer my question

in front of all the officials.

Is Gu Qingzhang

the real emperor?

Didn't you see what this rebel

did

to me?

If he is the real emperor,

even if he disrespects you,

he is still the king of the Yong Kingdom.

Zhang Ping.

Didn't you just say that

as long as the coffin is opened,

you can prove that the birth certificate is fake?

Right.

Even if Gu Qingzhang

can forge the birth certificate seamlessly,

there must be a mismatch in one detail.

The Empress Dowager's palm print on the birth certificate

should have been forced by him

after he kidnapped her.

(Jing Qizhe, Emperor Qingfeng's eldest son)

He thought he could deceive the world by doing this.

But what he didn't know was that

the Empress Dowager was weak after giving birth

and had herpes.

Look.

The scars on the Empress Dowager's palm

are evidence of herpes.

Imperial physicians should be aware of

the symptoms of this disease.

When she got sick that year,

mucus would ooze from her palms,

which was difficult to be wiped off.

After being rubbed on clothing or paper,

they dry up into crumbs.

If the Empress Dowager's palm print on the birth certificate

was really left over by her 30 years ago,

it would definitely leave traces.

Since Gu Qingzhang was not aware of this detail,

he must have not counterfeited it.

To check the authenticity of the birth certificate,

you only need to check whether there are any crumbs on the inkpad

of the Empress Dowager's palm print.

Can your birth certificate stand the test?

No need.

The birth certificate

is fake.

You!

You!

How dare you lie to me?

General Cao.

Take him down.

Why don't you tell them

why I hijacked you,

and why I planned today's show?

Zhang Ping.

Haven't you been obsessed with the truth?

Why don't you dare to say it now?

Of course I dare to.

You are Mr. Jinghu who appeared

in the imperial examination last year.

You instigated scholars to create turmoil,

kidnapped the Empress Dowager,

and conspired to usurp power.

All kinds of signs indicate that

you are just a crazy person

who wants to be the emperor.

So

I made up the grievances

of Moluo Village and Lan's Mansion?

Kuruo.

You lied.

You've grown up.

Empress Dowager.

All the epiphyllum in the Imperial Palace

will bloom for you tonight.

Do you remember the scarlet mist?

Before I made the embalmer commit suicide,

I used him to complete the improvement of this poison.

Now the toxin is hidden in the pollen.

When in bloom, the scarlet mist will spread all over the city.

Don't worry.

People who inhale it will not experience any pain,

they will just die of stiffness

with a smile on their face

in the illusion of happiness.

Now the Imperial Palace

has epiphyllum everywhere.

Tonight

is when the flowers bloom.

Even if you hide the toxin in the pollen,

it is impossible to manipulate the flowers to bloom.

Zhang.

What's that?

The whistle of our clan.

Dead...

No!

The epiphyllum is in full bloom outside.

The red pollen inside is poisonous.

Once you touch it, you will die.

It's true.

What's going on?

What to do?

How come?

Run!

Or it will be too late!

We are done.

Run!

Run!

No!

The Empress Dowager and Gu Qingzhang are missing.

Go find the Empress Dowager.

Hold on.

Calm down.

Cover your mouth and nose with a damp cloth.

Zhang.

Be careful!

Come back.

How dare you touch it?

I see.

Epiphyllum blooms when the night is cool.

Gu Qingzhang buried a large amount of saltpetre

in the soil in advance,

and then notified his men hidden in the culvert

(to flood the saltpeter with water, )

(causing the soil temperature to drop suddenly)

(and meet the conditions for flowers to bloom.)

Epiphyllum is now planted all over the Imperial Palace.

The poisonous mist has spread to the city.

Find a way to save the people as soon as possible.

Go.

- Go. - Go.

What happened in the front?

It seems to be nice.

Let's go take a look.

Something's wrong.

Wait.

Wait...

The scarlet mist is killing. Run!

The scarlet mist is killing. Run!

Come on.

The scarlet mist is killing.

Run!

The scarlet mist is killing.

The scarlet mist is coming.

Run!

The scarlet mist is coming. Run!

Zhang Ping.

Save them.

Go.

Zhang, watch your wound.

Uncle Yu.

Don't pick it up. Run!

Zhang Ping?

Yes.

Zhang Ping is back.

Granny Li.

Why are you back?

Zhang Ping came back to save us.

Now is not the time to talk about this.

Run!

Hold on.

Don't be afraid.

Cover the mouth and nose with a damp cloth.

Go up high, quick.

Go upstairs.

Cover the mouth and nose.

Wait, stop.

The poisonous mist is thicker behind.

Have you found the Empress Dowager and Gu Qingzhang?

General Cao.

Focus on the present.

The safety of the people is more important.

The poisonous mist has filled the whole city.

Let's find a place to hide first.

Calm down.

Follow us.

Xiong Xiao.

Everyone, follow us.

Cover the mouth and nose.

Cover the mouth and nose.

Follow me.

Follow us.

This way.

Cover the mouth and nose.

Cover the mouth and nose.

Get inside.

Once get in, block the doors and windows.

Come on.

Come in.

Hurry up.

Go up high.

Get in and seal the doors and windows.
