[Episode 29]

[Northwestern Military Annals]

Sir, are all the name lists here?

Yes.

This is the complete Northwestern Military Annals.

It is updated every two years during recruitments.

Each update has been carefully checked for accuracy.

Sir, could you please think about it again?

If someone wants to change their household registration,

are there any other methods?

Unless...

What is it?

Unless it was changed

before the twelfth year of Jingchang reign.

The late Emperor ordered the Ministry of War

to reorganize the name lists that year.

Since then, every update has been strictly regulated and monitored

with no loopholes.

Let's say, before the twelfth year of Jingchang reign,

the supervision wasn't that strict,

so soldiers could register themselves without being monitored.

You can try to find the original register from that time.

[Shuyu Abode]

I've just brewed this ginseng soup.

Drink it while it's hot.

Look,

I'm almost recovered now.

Can I stop drinking this ginseng soup?

I've been drinking it for so many days.

I'm sick of it.

My soup

isn't as tasty as that from the Grand Commandant's Residence.

You can ignore it.

No, it's good!

I must drink it.

It's great.

I must drink it.

Is it tasty?

Of course.

I will brew more for you tomorrow.

Sure.

Mr. Pan. Miss Yang.

How was your investigation at the Ministry of War?

According to the Deputy Minister of War,

if we want to investigate who changed their household registration,

we need to dive into the original register

before the twelfth year of Jingchang reign.

The twelfth year of Jingchang reign?

Yes. One more thing.

Earlier in the street,

I just encountered a soldier urgently delivering a message.

It seems there's trouble at the border.

The border?

[Grand Commandant's Residence]

[Guest List]

Darling.

Here's the guest list you wanted for Jing's wedding.

You may check if there's anyone missing.

There's no need to check.

I will let you decide.

One more thing.

I was thinking

of the assassin who tried to kill Mr. Pan.

Although he didn't succeed this time,

will he make another attempt?

Jing's wedding is next month.

There'll be many guests around.

If anything happens...

Rest assured.

We've learned from past mistakes.

During Jing's wedding,

I will definitely monitor the wedding myself

to ensure everything goes smoothly.

We have a message!

Sir!

Northwestern's soldiers rebelled, and the Jiang clan is invading.

His Majesty ordered you

to head to the palace for an audience immediately.

Prepare the carriage now.

Yes.

Come on.

Don't stop drinking.

If I don't get you drunk today,

I won't use the name Pan anymore.

Let's see.

Let's agree first.

If you drink too much and get scolded by your father later,

don't blame me for that.

My father is only concerned about that illegitimate son now.

He doesn't care about me anymore.

Here, drink up.

Mr. Pan.

It's been a long time since we last met.

Mr. Sun.

Why aren't you preparing for my brother's wedding?

Why are you drinking in the restaurant?

Don't even bring that up.

This is an order from the authorities.

Mr. Pan, you seem to be in a good mood.

Mr. Pan,

I have something to say that might offend you.

Your elder brother

is really hard to please.

If you were the one marrying the Princess,

I wouldn't be busy till now.

And I wouldn't have to worry much.

Who does Pan Yue think he is?

He is only good-looking.

If it weren't due to him,

I should be the one who became the Prince Consort.

We both have noses and eyes.

Do I look ugly compared to him?

You're right...

Indeed. Since you're the legitimate son,

you should be the one marrying the Princess.

Does your father love your brother more?

Has he secretly helped him?

This must be the reason for the change in this marriage.

Recently, I heard

that the Prince Consort has been hunting for assassins in the whole city.

He even raided an underground brothel.

He is well-known now.

Is your father

helping him secretly?

My father doesn't even have time to deal with that mess.

But he, an illegitimate son,

will bring trouble to our whole family.

How could that be?

With the support of the Prince Consort,

the Pan Mansion will definitely rise to power.

That's right.

Let me tell you a secret.

Why do you think

he chose that kind of brothel?

Why is that?

Shangguan Zhi

is actually the daughter of the traitor Yang Ji'an.

She's Yang Caiwei.

Are you sure?

Such a bizarre thing happened in this world.

How could Shangguan Zhi be Yang Caiwei?

Investigate

what Shangguan Zhi has done in Heyang.

If she really is the daughter of the Yang family,

this time,

we must let her and Pan Yue

die together.

Your Highness.

Your injuries are not healed yet, so please sit down.

Alright.

Your Highness.

Yesterday, there was an urgent message to the capital.

Has anything serious happened?

Soldiers stationed in the northwest mutinied over the non-payment of wages.

The Jiang clan invaded, causing an urgency at the border.

General Lu, who is in charge of military affairs in the northwest

finally repelled the enemy

after several hard-fought battles.

After a thorough investigation by the court,

it was found that General Lu turned out to be part of the Jiang clan from Luoxi.

He changed his military status when he was still a lieutenant.

His Majesty suspects

that General Lu is a spy from the Jiang clan

and immediately summoned my brother-in-law and other important ministers

to discuss this matter.

As a result,

General Lu was removed from his position as Grand Marshal

and detained in the prison of the Law Enforcement Office.

The Grand Marshal?

He is one of the three highest-ranking officials.

How could he be a spy of the Jiang clan?

I am also very surprised.

General Lu has a good reputation.

If he really were the mastermind

who has been planning for years,

it should have been easy for him

to take action.

Why bother repelling the Jiang clan several times?

I think this matter

is not that simple.

By the way,

are there any discoveries

for the investigation of Luoxi officials?

Yes, there are.

We need the Jingchang's military records from twelve years ago.

Can Your Highness find a way to get them?

My brother-in-law is in charge of the military documents.

I'll go back and look for them.

Thank you.

Caiwei and I will go and see General Lu later.

We'll find a place to meet later.

Let's meet at the Fengya Garden.

Sure.

The prison is crowded and chaotic.

Wait for me in the carriage later.

I will.

[Law Enforcement Office]

Prince Consort?

Aren't you busy preparing for the wedding?

How come you're in this filthy prison?

The Princess asked me to see General Lu.

There's a private matter to ask him about.

This way, Prince Consort.

Hold on.

You look good.

I thought that cut

would stop you for a few days.

Father, what is it?

It's about General Lu.

Don't get involved in this matter.

Father, rest assured.

I got the order from the Princess.

It won't bring trouble to the Pan family.

[Healing Powder]

General Lu,

I've prepared some wine and food.

Would you like to drink with me?

Please leave.

I don't want to see anyone.

Don't you want to clear your name?

Or, are you planning to plead guilty?

The rebellion in the Northwest has nothing to do with me.

However,

in the Emperor's eyes, I am the culprit.

What right do you have to talk about clearing my name?

I know the person who framed you

is just like you.

He was a member of Jiang clan from Luoxi who changed his nationality.

I am Pan Yue.

It's nice meeting you.

Are you Pan Yue? The son of Pan Jin

who's going to marry the princess.

Yes, I am.

What did you mean just now?

What do you know exactly?

A spy from the Jiang clan has infiltrated the court.

Over a decade ago, he made his fortune in Heyang

using money as his tool.

He gradually got a high position within the court.

The reason why I'm here

is to get you to explain

and uncover the truth.

Your Highness.

Quan.

Why are you here in my study?

I have a friend

who asked me to find a long-lost friend

in the military.

This person changed his name.

This is why I want to look through the past military registers

and see if I can find any clues.

You've come to the right person for that.

I'm still keeping the military rosters

of over a decade ago.

Mine are even more complete than what the Ministry of War has.

Let me get them for you.

Thank you, Quan.

Take your time.

[Northwestern Military Annals]

What do you want from me?

I want to ask you

about how military funds could have gone missing.

Let me tell you something.

The military funds for the Northwestern soldiers

are supplied from local salt taxes.

However, in recent years,

illegal salt from the Jiang clan

has been flooding the market.

Illegal salt is cheap,

leading to low prices for official salt

and difficulties in collecting salt taxes.

The soldiers in the Northwest are living in hardship.

Someone in the military camp took the opportunity to cause trouble,

accusing the commanding officer of embezzlement.

The commanding officer then sent troops to suppress the chaos.

The chaos

resulted in the death of a soldier.

The matter led to this rebellion.

I once found a place where they hid the smuggled salt in Heyang.

Looks like

this batch of salt likely originated from Heyang.

If you are removed from the office,

the court will definitely appoint a new Grand Marshal.

May I know

if you were to be removed from office,

who would be the most qualified to take your place?

The General, Xun Jian.

Apart from him,

the other candidates

have similar qualifications.

Seems like he will get the most benefit.

Is it him?

No.

Xun Jian is from Hanzhong,

not from Luoxi.

Moreover, he is already old

and unable to work hard anymore.

Even if the Emperor appoints him,

he will most likely decline the position.

Since you're aware of this matter,

the spy might also be aware of it.

You're right.

In that case, can you try to recall it?

Are there any other high-ranking officials in the Ministry of War

just like you

who changed their nationalities a decade ago?

It's hard to remember events

from over a decade ago.

Do you know if there are any

high-ranking officials in the Ministry of War

who dealt with Heyang?

Or, perhaps

any henchman of a senior official

whose right eye is slightly yellowish?

I can't really recall.

I've heard that since you were imprisoned,

you've been on a hunger strike as a form of protest.

You should eat something first.

Let's think while eating.

General Lu, why are you rolling up your sleeves like that?

We Luoxi people have been riding horses since we were young.

We're not used to the attire of the Central Plains.

Especially these inconvenient wide sleeves.

So I've developed the habit

of rolling up my sleeves when eating.

Darling, can we eat now?

Look,

this freshly steamed sea bass with osmanthus is good.

It's him.

[Northwestern Military Annals]

Your Highness.

Have you found it?

Not yet.

I have another one here.

Let's see if it's in here.

[Jia Quan, native of Zhuo County, Youzhou]

[Yuchi Changqing, native of Jiang clan, Luoxi]

It seems that Your Highness found it.

The mastermind is actually Grand Commandant Jia.

Zhuo Lanjiang tried to assassinate me in the Grand Commandant's Residence.

Now that I think about it,

it was Jia Quan who led me

step by step

towards Zhuo Lanjiang's hideout.

Moreover,

with his official position and records,

he's one of the successors.

With the Empress' favor for the Princesses,

and a few good words from her in front of the Emperor,

he will definitely stand out.

Grand Commandant Jia must have used Mrs. Jia

in pushing the wedding forward.

The Princess went to look for the records at the Grand Commandant's Residence.

If Grand Commandant Jia catches her,

she will be in danger.

It's almost time to meet her.

I wonder if she's still at the Grand Commandant's Residence.

You go to Fengya Garden first. I'll go to the Grand Commandant's Residence.

Let's split up and find her.

Okay.

No... No.

I didn't find the name.

I'll think of another way.

Thank you, Quan.

Are you sure you want to go?

Look,

how gentle and beautiful she is.

I must have done something great in my past life

to have been able to marry her.

If you don't want your sister

to end up like your parents,

you'd better behave and listen to me.

From the beginning,

was it a conspiracy

that you married my sister?

Twelve years ago,

I killed your parents with my own hands.

But

I spared both of you.

Although your sister has had a leg problem since then,

she married me.

Consider this as repaying my mercy for not killing her.

This is such a wonderful thing.

How could you call it a conspiracy?

If you dare harm me and my sister,

Her Majesty will never let you off!

I have thousands of ways to explain to the Empress.

As long as I make it look like an accident,

nobody will suspect me

since I have always been a loving husband.

My sister knows nothing.

I beg you to spare her.

I will do anything you tell me to.

You're a smart person.

Don't worry.

I don't want to be so ruthless.

As long as you promise me one thing,

I will keep

your sister safe.

What is it?

Kill a person for me.

[Fengya Garden]

Is the Princess here yet?

She has just arrived, and she is now waiting in the room.

Miss Shangguan,

you still have the cheek to come to the Princess?

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, what's happened?

I'm sorry.

Miss, where is the Princess?

I don't know.

I haven't seen Her Highness in a while.

I'm going to look for her now.

Mr. Pan?

You seem to be in a hurry.

Has something happened?

It's nothing important

but some trivial matter regarding the wedding.

I want to discuss it with the Princess.

Since she's not around,

I'm leaving now.

Her Highness must be teaching Shangguan Zhi a lesson.

I'll go take a look.

Murder!

Shangguan Zhi, the daughter of a merchant,

was caught murdering Princess Changle out of jealousy, with solid evidence.

Three days later,

a trial will be held

- at Law Enforcement Office - Nice!

- to be shown as an exemplar. - Great!

[Notice]

How dare the daughter of a merchant act treacherously

and murder the Princess.

- Exactly! - She's really audacious!

If there were nothing between Mr. Pan

and Shangguan Zhi,

this tragedy wouldn't have happened.

Exactly. In just four months,

two wives of Mr. Pan died.

Nobody would believe he's innocent.

I've also heard

that his mother committed suicide because of him.

A person like him

is still a disaster even if he looks good.

I agree.

Why would such a person exist?

A perfect person like Mr. Pan...

- How disappointing! - Yes!

Let's leave...

- Let's leave. - Let's go.

- It's none of our business. - Let's leave.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

This is unbelievable.

[Biography of Mr. Pan]

What a fair, young lady.

It's a pity

that you'll be executed because of a man.

I like your strong personality.

- Forget it. - No...

This case involves the imperial family.

Let's not get ourselves into trouble.

Let's starve her for a few days and see her suffer.

- Let's leave. - Wait...

- Leave. - Look at this girl.

- Fair and young. What a waste. - Let's go now!

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, what's happened?

I'm sorry.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Jia Quan

is using my sister's life

to make me do this.

I'm sorry

for all that I put you through!

Please don't blame me.

Your Highness...

Tell my sister this.

The incident of Qixia Ridge due to spouse.

Your Highness!

Sir.

What's going on?

Mr. Pan is begging Master

to let him see Shangguan Zhi at the Law Enforcement Office.

Master rejected the request.

He's been kneeling all day.

Isn't this my arrogant eldest brother?

Why are you looking so embarrassed now?

I almost didn't recognize you just now.

Seeing your pitiful look

makes me feel truly sorry for you.

Our father is unbelievable.

Not only did he reject your request,

but he also doesn't let you eat.

I've got something hot here for you.

Eat it while it's still warm.

Here.

Yue.

Why are you doing this to yourself?

At least have a bit of it.

Hui, that's enough!

Father.

♪I wish upon you all that is well♪

The case has been handed over to the Grand Commandant Jia.

There's no use for you to be begging me.

I know.

I just want to see her.

You should leave.

Even if you kneel here until you die,

I won't let you see her.

If so, I will kneel until I die.

This child is so fair and tender.

He is sure blessed.

Of course I must give him a nice name.

Let's name him

Pan Yue.

What do you think?

He is my firstborn.

I hope our ancestors

will give him their blessings

and grant him a lifetime of peace and joy.

Yue.

- Yue. - Yue.

Master,

the teacher told me earlier

that Young Master's essay is very well written.

He complimented it well.

He called him

a child with splendid future prospects

who will grow up to be a brilliant young man.

Young Master has been waiting here

for you to read his essay.

When I was at the Pan Mansion delivering things today,

I saw Mr. Pan's son. He is really handsome.

He looks nothing like his father.

I heard from the servants at the Pan Mansion.

They don't even know

if he is really Mr. Pan's son.

Got it.

Master!

Something bad happened! Madam is...

Madam!

Madam!

Madam.

Madam...

Mother!

The rumors hurt, and only death can prove my innocence.

Our child is innocent. Please take good care of him.

If I won't let you see her,

are you really planning to kneel until you die?

This is the only thing I can do.

If the father and the son fight,

the family is not harmonious.

What is the meaning of me being prudent?

If your deceased mother knew about this,

she would blame me.

Get up.

Yue!
