Episode Twenty-four

You can see Jiuyou Platform from here.

Chun'er.

No matter what you are trying to do now

will be useless.

Mother.

Why are you so heartless?

Yan Xun has been involved into the rebellion.

If you try to stand up for him openly,

you will be disobedient to your father.

At that time, not to mention the maids

in your palace,

even your brother and I

will be implicated into this.

Mother.

So why did you bring us

to this cruel place?

The reason I brought you here

is that I want you know

whether you are the descendants of the princes

or the descendants of nobles,

you are still so close

to the bloodied blade.

The vice supervising officer to decapitation.

Yuwen Yue.

The supervising officer to decapitation.

Read the imperial decree.

knee down.

Read the imperial decree.

Duke Dingbei Yan Shicheng

has insulted the whole world,

ran counter to the emperor,

imposed upon the public,

trusted the crafty sycophant,

and rebelled against the state.

He has abolished the law,

built the royal pantheon,

trained the private armies secretly.

It is evident to anyone

that he had the conspiracy against the emperor.

And he has dispatched the troops to Chang'an,

wanted to attack the capital city.

His misdemeanors are too numerous

to inscribe on all bamboo strips.

Thanks to the blessing of the heaven,

their rebellion was defeated,

and the villains were exterminated.

As far as Yanxun concerned,

he grew up in the capital city

and didn't get involved into the rebellion.

There is an order for him to identify the prisoners

and watch their punishment

to make up for his sin.

By the emperor himself.

Is what he said true?

Yes.

My family.

Bring the traitors up.

Prince Yanxun.

Everyone has been executed

except you and your mother.

There is no one left.

Prince Yanxun. Please honor the decree.

Honor the decree on your knees.

Yanxun.

- Yanxun. - On your knees.

On your knees.

Yanxun.

Honor the decree and identify the corpses.

On your knees.

Then your life will be spared.

(Sound of laughing)

Look, look.

He is revolting.

Why didn't you just kill him?

No.

No.

Refusing to obey imperial edict

should be put to death.

Take him down.

Yes.

Wait.

Yanxun.

Please pick up the imperial decree

and appreciate the grace of the emperor.

Yanxun, just be awarded the majesty's decree.

Hers is the hour of noon.

We should do the roll call.

Yanxun.

Get up.

If you don't want to do,

I will.

Prince Yanxun.

It's been long time for you

to meet your father, isn't it?

Come here.

Say hello to him.

Yuwen Huai.

(Sound of laughing)

Come here.

Yuwen Huai.

Don't move.

If he doesn't honor the decree, just kill him.

Yanxun.

Did you see this?

This is what will happen if you refuse to obey imperial edict.

This is too cruel.

Why?

Why do they have to do this to

Brother Yan Xun?

(Crying)

Father.

Step down.

Yan Xun.

Yan Xun.

Yan Xun.

Yan Xun.

Get up.

Get up.

Move.

Yan Xun.

Yan Xun.

Yan Xun.

Yan Xun.

Disobeying the imperial decreed is punishable by death.

Go to check whether he is dead.

He looks like dead.

Yuwen Yue.

Go to check whether

your good friend is dead or not.

(Sound of breathing)

It is Jiuyou Platform, a scared place.

He doesn’t kneel down and refused to obey the imperial decreed.

He is a rebel.

Bowmen.

Yan Xun.

Don’t come up again.

Chun’er.

Chun’er.

Brother Yan Xun, please.

Please don’t stand up again.

(Sound of shooting arrows)

- Brother Yan Xun. - Chun’er.

- Brother Yan Xun. - Chun’er.

(Crying)

(Breathing heavily)

Yan Xun.

Don’t come up again.

(Sound of struggling)

(Sound of shooting arrow)

(Sound of struggling)

Mother.

Please save Brother Yan Xun. I am begging you.

Otherwise, he is going to die.

He definitely will die.

Please save Brother Yan Xun. Mother.

Mother.

(Crying)

Brother.

Please save Brother Yan Xun.

Please save him.

Please save him.

(Sound of shooting arrow)

Yan Xun.

(Struggling and crying)

Yan Xun.

Yan Xun.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

Chun’er.

(Sound of struggling)

How dare you.

Obey the imperial decreed now.

There is no need for him to check the corpses.

Apply the sentence now.

How dare you.

I am following the imperial decreed to sentence the rebels.

Following the imperial decreed or disobeying it?

I hope I can

buy him more time this way.

It’s in the imperial decreed. Black and white.

Only after Yan Xun checks the corpses,

can we apply the sentence.

If he refuses to obey the imperial decreed, we can’t apply the sentence.

Apply the sentence immediately.

I will take responsibility

for any consequences of it.

You are disobeying the imperial decreed.

I can kill you right now.

If Yan Xun still refuses to obey the imperial decreed,

I will kill him right here.

Let me remind you again.

Xing’er is here right now.

(Laughing)

Looks like I need to do it myself.

(Sound of struggling)

I can do it.

Wait.

Master Yuwen,

please let me check the corpses.

Those up there are

my husband,

my son and my daughter.

My families.

I believe

there is no one

more eligible than me

to check their corpses.

Lady.

Who allowed you to come here.

His Majesty, the Emperor.

His Majesty has sent out the imperial decreed

to allow me to check the corpses.

My son, Yan Xun, is too young and ignorant.

I am sorry he offended you, Master Huai.

The imperial decreed will be delivered here in no time.

You won’t disobey

the imperial decreed, will you?

It's them

They ruined Yan

Why?

Xun'er

Do you believe your father

Yes, I believe him

Then don't ask why

Not everything

in this world

has its reason

Like tigers eat wolves

wolves eat rabbits

rabbits eat grass

There is no reason for it

Our family

my father, eldest brother

sister

(Sound of crying)

This is my husband

Lord Dingbei in Yan

General marshal of Western Religion of Wei

Yan Shicheng

The scar here was wounded

in the rebellion of Prince Qi

He was hurt

at the gate of the palace

When the rebel forces burned the palace

people inside cannot step outside

Shicheng took his people,

risked his life to save the majesty

He found the majesty first

who was the prince at that time

He took the coma majesty on his back

alone, rushing out

the palace surrounded by 3000 rebels

Over 30 wounds

on his hands and body

After that，he couldn't walk

until half a year later

He was only

seventeen that year

You are here to identify the dead

not to say these bullshit

Please continue, lady

Here

he got the wound during the fight

at Baima Strategic station

They were mourning the ancestor that day

The whole royal family

attended

But our enemies from Rouran started a fight

They broke through the strategic pass

and surrounded the ancestor temple

After Shicheng learned the news

He took his men leave Yan

rushing towards the temple

7 days and nights

riding the horse without rest

and rescued them from danger

Your majesty

awored right there at the temple

The relation between Wei and Yan

will last forever

Most of you here

were there too

His head

were cut by Mr. Yuwen Huai

outside Chang'an

You are at your strongest age with the clearest eyes

You can recognize your sword

How would you not know if this man was killed by you,

if this man is the lord of Dingbei,

Yan Shicheng?

I confirm,

this man is my husband,

the lord of Dingbei.

Yan Shicheng

Where is the imperial decreed, lady?

I can order to kill

Yan Xun now

Yan Xun
