Master Yuwen

Do it now

Xun'er.

Xun'er.

Xun'er.

Master Yuwen,

His Majesty promised that he would excuse my son.

The imperial decree will arrive soon.

Xun'er.

Don't cry.

Men in Yan Household

would rather bleed than cry.

Mother.

(Sound of impact)

(Sound of wind)

(Sound of crying)

Mother.

Father is gone.

Big brother is gone, too.

All my family are gone.

Why...

why do you

leave me as well?

Mother.

Mother.

Xun'er.

You must survive,

even if you would linger in pain.

You can not give up.

Don't forget that

Yanbei is still waiting for you.

People in Yanbei

are still waiting for you.

The spirits of our Yan Household

are still waiting for you.

You have a lot of things to do.

I used to think that

the mountains and waters of Liang State

are my dearest.

There is no winter,

no snow.

The sun is always shining.

The weather is always warm.

Now I know that

I was wrong.

What I love most

all remains in Yanbei.

Now,

I'm going to find them.

Yan Xun.

The imperial edict arrives!

His Majesty has orders:

The rebels in Yanbei plotted against the regime,

committing the most heinous crimes and thus should be sentenced to death.

I consider that Prince Yan Xun

has lived in Chang'an for a long time and didn't involve himself in the rebellion.

Therefore, I excuse him from death penalty.

Is he really granted a pardon?

Mother!

(Sound of thunder)

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Yes.

Princess.

You can go out.

Princess.

(Sound of sobbing)

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, brother Yan Xun.

Chun'er can do nothing for you.

I can do nothing.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry.

Young Master, it's a little cold in here.

I would bring a fire basket for you

to warm your hands.

Young Master, don't blame yourself too much.

Things happened.

In addition,

Prince Yan Xun is safe.

There's no time.

I should take some actions.

Father,

what does His Majesty mean?

Is he really going to excuse Yan Xun?

Yan Xun's mother is that old.

What is His Majesty thinking about?

How come that this woman hits his fancy?

Shut up.

His Majesty is of a suspicious nature

and is inconsistent.

Though he pitied his old flame

and spared Yan Xun's life today,

when he overcome his feelings,

he may not think like this anymore.

Uncle, you mean that...

Yan Xun's life is in jeopardy.

Yes,

but His Majesty is hard to guess.

We can't pin our hopes on

His Majesty alone.

Yanbei is a good place.

Father,

do you have any good idea?

Master Zhao killed Yan Xun's family,

Zhao Xifeng

killed his sister who was pregnant.

Yuwen Huai killed Yan Shicheng.

All these people,

want Yan Xun dead

more than we do.

But the director of Celestial Prison

is Luo Yongchen.

He is an old friend

of Duke Dingbei.

Isn't his youngest son

always following you around?

I hear that Luo Yongchen

is very fond of his son.

I understand. I shall do it at once!

Uncle, I would leave as well.

The situation is volatile outside.

You don't need to go out these days.

Yes.

Elder Young Master, Second Young Master goes out.

You creep out of the house right away,

and go to The Green Hills Court of Yuwen Household

to find Young Master Yue.

You tell him that Prince Yan Xun is in trouble

and ask for his help.

Yes.

Young Master.

Has Wei Shuyou gone?

Yes, he has left.

Young Master, what does

Young Master Wei mean today?

What does he mean?

To kill Yan Xun through our hands.

He wants me to get rid of Yan Xun.

Then we will...

Yan Xun is excused by His Majesty.

If I act rashly,

that would be lifting a rock

only to drop it on my own toes.

Then we will turn a blind eye.

No.

What if His Majesty is possessed

to let him go.

Isn't that worse?

Then what should we do?

I'll write a letter

and you go send it soon.

Young Master,

the servant from Wei Shuye's House

comes,

saying that Wei Shuyou

wants to drive a wedge between Yuwen Huai and Zhao Xifeng,

and make them kill Prince Yan Xun.

It's just as you expected.

Keep Master Luo's family

safe.

As long as he's not threatened

and stay at Celestial Prison,

no one dares to hurt the prince.

Can we trust Master Luo?

Prepare a horse for me.

Yes.

Caiwei.

Princess, you call me.

Help me shower and change,

and prepare a carriage for me.

I want to go out.

Princess,

where are you going?

The Green Hills Court of Yuwen Household.

I need to see Yuwen Yue.

Princess, Master Yuwen Yue

from the Green Hills Court of Yuwen Household

is waiting outside the palace to see you.

The Zhao and Wei Household

have their wishful thinking.

But they may not get what they want.

Yuwen Yue has already sent people

to take care of

Luo Yongchen's family.

Half of the Green Hills Court

are at Luo's House.

And the youngest son of Luo Yongchen

has been grounded.

If they think of a plan

like this,

they will be greatly disppointed.

Why do they take all that trouble?

They fear to make a big thing.

We don't.

Just

kill Luo Yongchen.

Master, you are wise.

I shall do it at once.

Yanxun.

Yanxun.

Yanxun.

Lord Luo.

It's time to eat.

Okay. I got it.

Just put it down.

Yes.

You should be aware of

the reason I came here, your highness.

I'm not.

Are you worth to be trusted

for what you did on the Jiuyou Platform?

You and I are both

the best friends of the Prince.

Today, no matter on the platform

or under the platform,

we couldn't give a hand.

Your highness could understand

that kind of helplessness.

But people out there said

that you shot the arrow

to take Brother Yanxun down

the day he was caught.

If I were the one who had done this,

how could I let everyone know it?

Alright.

I have got nobody but you

to trust right now.

Now, just tell me your purpose.

Lady.

What's up?

Does the Prince feel better?

Who are you?

I'm the man of the Lord Luo.

Lord Luo is one of the best friends of Duke Dingbei,

and he is in charge of this jail now.

He has been seriously injured,

and he needs clean water, food,

the medicine

and the doctor for the wounds.

You know

it will be noted

if we bring someone in right now.

How about this, Lady?

I have got some hot porridge,

and you might feed some to the Prince.

As for the hot water and medicine,

I will get it prepared later.

Here you go.

Eat it before it gets cold.

Thank you.

It's alright.

You are smart enough.

But it's too shame.

Originally,

You could die with absolutely painless.

Who sent you here?

Does it matter?

You know

there are so many people out there who want to kill you.

There is no difference.

What need to be live with so much suffering?

Come on.

Let me send you to hell.

I guess you are not the man of the office

based on your acting style, are you?

You are the man from the underworld.

Since you are from the underworld,

you should know Wind and Cloud Decree.

How could you know the Wind and Cloud Decree?

Tell me, what does

the Wind and Cloud Decree have to do with you?

Aren't you just a maidservant?

If I'm just

a little maidservant,

how could I stay here

safe and sound?

Who are you?

It doesn't matter who I am,

what matters is

I know where the Wind and Cloud Decree is.

Where is it?

Tell me, what do you want?

I want you to get me out of here.

You should know

there are nets above and snares below outside.

Everyone wants him to die.

I couldn't find a way to get you out of here.

Not him, just me.

Are you leaving him behind?

We are neither kith nor kin,

why do I have to die with him?

You're right.

But how could I know

what you said is true?

Of course, I have got some evidence for you.

What is the evidence?

The Wind and Cloud Decree is really very useful.

So many people want it.

You can just seize it at hell.

Your highness.

The Shadow made it.

Luo Yongchen was dead.

Where is the Shadow?

He hasn't come back yet.

Our men saw that

the maid of the Luo's Family

came back and sent out the message in a fright,

then we knew what happened.

The Shadow always

craves for greatness and success,

and plumes himself on his accomplishment.

I'm afraid

that he just went straight

to kill Yanxun.

I don't think so.

The Princess just sent him

to kill Luo Yongchen.

These persons from the underworld

don't want to obey the orders.

Forget it. Let him be.

Your highness.

Our people sent the message

that the Shadow was killed

by the little maid of Yanxun.

She said to the Shadow

that she knew where the Wind and Cloud Decree is.

Will this work?

Do our best and leave the rest to God's will.

The thing is going to happen

depends on the God's will.

Master Yue.

Master Yue.

Lord Luo was killed.

(Sound of the horse's hoofs)

Really?

Yes.

The man who gave an obituary notice

is in the state office of Chang'an.

The God is on my side.

Yanxun.

You must be very painful right now.

Do you just want to die like this?

All troubles end when the main trouble ends.

Dying is too easy.

There is no pain,

and no resentment.

It's just like taking a sleep.

In the dream,

you are still

the high and mighty prince

with all your parents and relatives alive.

It's so wonderful.

Dying is always the easiest way.

What really hard are

you have to live no matter how much you want to die.

Yanxun.

I'm the person with nothing.

I even don't know

where my birth parents are.

The people who were nice to are all dead.

Some of them were manipulated

and died tragically and innocently.

Some of them were rapped to death

and their bodies were thrown on the mass graves,

just like some garbage.

There should have some fairness in the world.

Even as maidservants,

they should have the right to live.

I couldn't understand

why the people belong to

the various grades and ranks

when they are born to this world.

Why are the wolves doomed to eat the rabbits

and the rabbits have no right to fight back?

But now, I understand it.

That's because the rabbits are not strong enough.

If you don't want to be looked down,

you have to stand up first.

Yanxun.

Although, I'm still weak right now,

I'm patient enough,

and I have enough time.

Those people who owed me

will have no chance to escape.

I will watch them

pay the price for what they did

on my own eyes.

Otherwise, even if I die,

I will turn in my grave.

Yanxun.

Do you remember

the words your mother told you

before her death?

She wanted you to live well.

Even you have to linger on with your last breath of life,

you need to stay alive.

Because there are so many things

waiting for you to do.

Do you know what are these?

You have to swallow humiliation and bear a heavy load,

sleep on the brushwood and taste the gall,

and wait for the moment

to kill those people who murdered your family

on your own,

and take the revenge.

There are so many expectations on your shoulder,

and there are so many people who watched you from the sky.

Are you hardhearted enough to let them down?

Are you hardhearted enough

to let them turn in their graves?

Are you willing to let inheritance of your father

be swept away like this?

Are you willing to

die cowardly and timidly like this

in this smelly

and nauseating jail?

Are you willing?
