Greetings, Your Majesty.
26
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:57,760
Are you not afraid?
27
00:01:58,230 --> 00:02:00,070
Since I dared
to divulge the will of heaven,
28
00:02:00,590 --> 00:02:01,560
I knew
29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,640
I would die for that one day.
30

What's there to fear?

No one wishes to die.

What is it that you desire?

What I want

doesn't matter.
35
00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:13,710
Your Majesty, what you want
36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,120
is the most important thing
37
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,520
in this world.
38
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,240
I am willing to lay down my life

Young Lord, please return.

I was the one who escorted
Haoyue into the Palace.

When His Majesty finished
questioning her,
46

I'll have to take her back myself.

Just now, His Majesty has decreed
48
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,680
to appoint Miss Haoyue as Dubhe Envoy
49
00:03:04,870 --> 00:03:06,520
and keep her in the Astronomy Institute
in the Forbidden Palace.
50

52
00:03:23,150 --> 00:03:24,000
do you regret
53
00:03:24,150 --> 00:03:25,630
bringing me back
to the Imperial Capital alive?
54

I just
59
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:35,190
made a favorable deal

with him.
61
00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:38,000
Sir, may I ask
62
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:39,590
where the Astronomy Institute is?
63
00:03:39,710 --> 00:03:41,520
I will take you there immediately.

You're no longer a boy.
65

66

Your Majesty,
67

Haoyue has caused the death
68
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,280
of more than just one or two people.
69
00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:08,470
If she obtains
70
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,520
the title of Dubhe Envoy,
71
00:04:09,710 --> 00:04:11,030

even more deeply.

counsel the Emperor of Daqing
75
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,000

Uncle,
77
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,600
both publicly and privately,
78
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:26,870
you should let me
investigate her thoroughly
79

from a long drought, with no harvest.

If this continues,

00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,240
it will lead to widespread panic
86
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:50,920

87

how should it be resolved?

Then why did you...?
97
00:05:34,430 --> 00:05:35,950
Why did I reward her
instead of killing her?
98
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:38,040
Because killing her doesn't sound
99
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,560

00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:38,360
I hope
191
00:10:39,670 --> 00:10:40,790
that the baby
192
00:10:40,790 --> 00:10:42,240
will reincarnate into our family
193
00:10:43,630 --> 00:10:45,030
so that she can be with us
194
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,870
for a lifetime.
195
00:10:48,670 --> 00:10:49,600
Rong.
196
00:11:09,210 --> 00:11:10,390
[Hua Mansion]
197
00:11:10,390 --> 00:11:11,120
Hurry up.
198
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:11,550
Let's go.
199
00:11:11,550 --> 00:11:12,320
Hurry!
200
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:12,670
That's right.
201
00:11:12,670 --> 00:11:13,360
His Majesty is going to pray for rain!
202
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:14,270
Hurry, hurry!
203
00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:18,960
What are they off to do?
204
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:20,630
My Lady, you might not know
205
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,510
that these past few days,
206
00:11:21,550 --> 00:11:23,200
His Majesty personally
appointed a Dubhe Envoy.
207
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,030
It's said that
she can control the weather.
208
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,550
Every few days,
209
00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:28,200
she'll go out of the city
to pray for rain.
210
00:11:28,750 --> 00:11:29,670
It's also said
211
00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:31,000
that she is graceful and beautiful.
212
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,270
Every time she goes out,
213
00:11:32,390 --> 00:11:34,240
people follow in flocks
214
00:11:34,270 --> 00:11:36,200
to watch her praying for rain.
215
00:11:36,750 --> 00:11:37,840
Ascend the altar to pray for rain?
216
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:39,200
God of the Rain?
217
00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:41,720
Wait for me. I'll go and have a look.
218
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:42,510
Sure.
219
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:45,960
Wait for me!
220
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:46,510
She's here!
221
00:11:46,750 --> 00:11:47,510
Hurry, hurry!
222
00:11:48,390 --> 00:11:49,790
- Hurry!
- Hurry!
223
00:11:49,870 --> 00:11:51,080
Hurry, what are you dawdling for?
224
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:51,630
Yeah!
225
00:11:51,630 --> 00:11:52,720
There'll be no seats left!
226
00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:57,870
I wonder if it'll work or not.
227
00:12:27,550 --> 00:12:28,510
It's getting dark, isn't it?
228
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:29,600
Indeed.
229
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:30,790
It's getting dark!
230
00:12:34,750 --> 00:12:36,600
Looks like it's going to rain!
231
00:12:37,030 --> 00:12:38,790
May heaven bless us!
232
00:12:42,270 --> 00:12:43,270
Why don't you bow?
233
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,390
I'm waiting to see your downfall.
234
00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:48,630
Miss Hua,
235
00:12:48,870 --> 00:12:50,720
you really don't know
what's good for you.
236
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:52,630
This person is disrupting the ritual.
237
00:12:53,030 --> 00:12:53,960
Take her away!
238
00:12:54,550 --> 00:12:55,150
Yes.
239
00:13:01,510 --> 00:13:03,550
The sky was already clouded today.
240
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,720
Sadly, there was an unruly citizen
who spoke rudely
241
00:13:06,150 --> 00:13:07,080
and disrupted the ritual.
242
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,600
Thus, the effort was in vain.
243
00:13:08,910 --> 00:13:10,320
Who was this bold person?
244
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,600
She's nothing
245
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,840
but a merchant girl.
246
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,840
She's not Hua Zhi, is she?
247
00:13:16,630 --> 00:13:17,550
Your Majesty, you are so wise.
248
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,270
You even know this girl's name
249
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,480
so clearly.
250
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,440
Where is she now?
251
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:23,960
She's tied up outside the Palace.
252
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,080
I was going to report to Your Majesty
253
00:13:26,270 --> 00:13:27,150
before taking action.
254
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,550
You don't have to do anything.
255
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,510
Changqing,
256
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,120
bring her in.
257
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,360
Yes.
258
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:40,240
Commander,
259
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:41,630
Miss Hua has been taken by His Majesty
260
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,510
and brought to the Palace.
261
00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:53,960
Long time no see.
262
00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:56,360
You've become
even more reckless than before.
263
00:13:57,550 --> 00:13:59,080
Why did you disrupt
the rain-praying ritual?
264
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:02,960
Not speaking?
265
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,600
Fine.
266
00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:06,480
Then go to the Dubhe Envoy
267
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,670
and wait for your punishment.
268
00:14:10,870 --> 00:14:11,630
Stop right there.
269
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,630
Even the granddaughter of Hua Yizheng
270
00:14:15,790 --> 00:14:17,750
is too scared to speak now.
271
00:14:18,270 --> 00:14:19,510
I really want to know
272
00:14:19,550 --> 00:14:21,550
what made you change your ways.
273
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,910
Was it your grandfather's example,
274
00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:26,440
or those women
and children in your family?
275
00:14:27,030 --> 00:14:29,670
Or, was it my nephew?
276
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,910
It's not that I am bold.
277
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,600
Your Majesty, it's because
you're too cowardly.
278
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:48,670
Very good.
279
00:14:49,150 --> 00:14:50,150
Now that you've spoken up,
280
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,670
let's make things clear.
281
00:14:53,150 --> 00:14:53,870
Young Lord,
282
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:54,720
please stop.
283
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,550
Changqing,
284
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:56,670
is Hua Zhi in there?
285
00:14:56,750 --> 00:14:57,390
His Majesty is in there
286
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,630
talking to her.
287
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:00,320
If you break in rashly,
288
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,030
I'm afraid things will be even worse.
289
00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:05,790
Your Majesty,
as the ruler of the empire,
290
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:07,960
you dare not to face
the suffering of people
291
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,720
but dare to resort to sorcery.
292
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,510
You can't see the lands of barren
293
00:15:11,790 --> 00:15:13,240
but can accept someone
deluding the masses.
294
00:15:17,790 --> 00:15:18,390
Hua Zhi,
295
00:15:19,030 --> 00:15:20,000
do you think
296
00:15:20,030 --> 00:15:22,240
that you are more capable
than everyone else?
297
00:15:23,270 --> 00:15:24,510
Do you think
298
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:25,720
that what you understand,
299
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,910
others do not,
300
00:15:27,270 --> 00:15:28,270
and what you know,
301
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,720
others don't?
302
00:15:30,510 --> 00:15:31,510
Do you consider yourself
303
00:15:31,550 --> 00:15:32,910
the only smart person in the world?
304
00:15:34,550 --> 00:15:35,630
I wouldn't dare to think that way.
305
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,080
It's just that someone
306
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,750
turned a blind eye
and is deaf to the cries.
307
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,320
I wouldn't dare to lie to you.
308
00:15:40,790 --> 00:15:42,030
Since you have asked,
309
00:15:42,270 --> 00:15:43,790
I will withhold nothing.
310
00:15:44,270 --> 00:15:45,750
That sounds so familiar.
311
00:15:46,790 --> 00:15:48,320
Your grandfather once
312
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,390
said the same to me.
313
00:15:50,510 --> 00:15:52,150
You're far too self-righteous.
314
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,720
Do you think that all these years,
315
00:15:53,790 --> 00:15:55,080
your actions and thoughts
316
00:15:55,150 --> 00:15:56,120
have gone unnoticed?
317
00:15:56,910 --> 00:15:59,030
You started a business,
gathering wealth.
318
00:15:59,270 --> 00:16:01,080
The hidden money chambers in your home
319
00:16:01,510 --> 00:16:02,240
is for
320
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,440
that redemption law, isn't it?
321
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,630
You want to redeem your grandfather
322
00:16:06,910 --> 00:16:08,080
and the other men of your family
323
00:16:08,150 --> 00:16:09,600
from the north,
324
00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:10,600
don't you?
325
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,200
Don't bother trying.
326
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,720
I will issue a decree right now.
327
00:16:15,790 --> 00:16:18,510
The males of the Hua Family
shall never be pardoned.
328
00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:40,190
[Chenglu Palace]
329
00:17:00,150 --> 00:17:00,870
Hua Zhi.
330
00:17:14,070 --> 00:17:14,720
They said
331
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:15,640
that Lady Zhi was
332
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,480
disrespectful to Dubhe Envoy.
333
00:17:16,550 --> 00:17:17,270
That's why she was taken away.
334
00:17:17,310 --> 00:17:18,350
Many people witnessed it.
335
00:17:19,030 --> 00:17:19,640
But now we do not know
336
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:20,440
where she is.
337
00:17:20,550 --> 00:17:21,920
How are we going to save her?
338
00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:24,550
We need to prepare a big sum of money.
339
00:17:24,830 --> 00:17:26,160
There will be places
to spend it for sure.
340
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,480
And,
341
00:17:28,110 --> 00:17:28,880
Mr. Yan.
342
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:30,830
We need to go to Mr. Yan!
343
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,270
Why go to Mr. Yan?
344
00:17:32,350 --> 00:17:33,000
He's just a master
345
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,920
of martial arts with no one to rely on.
346
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,240
Yingzhen,
347
00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:38,240
you should listen to her this time.
348
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:39,550
Saving Zhi is the most important thing.
349
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:46,680
Zhi is back.
350
00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:48,240
- She's back.
- She's back!
351
00:17:50,030 --> 00:17:50,750
Zhi!
352
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:02,510
You...
353
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,400
What happened to you?
354
00:18:21,310 --> 00:18:22,070
Zhi?
355
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,160
Zhi!
356
00:18:33,350 --> 00:18:33,880
What's wrong?
357
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,400
Zhi!
358
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,270
Be careful!
359
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:17,750
Hua Zhi!
360
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:18,510
Leave me alone!
361
00:19:18,510 --> 00:19:19,920
Let me go!
362
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,030
It's all your fault!
363
00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:21,960
It's all your fault!
364
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,960
Why did I have to meet you?
365
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,310
Let me go!
366
00:19:26,790 --> 00:19:27,400
Calm down a bit!
367
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,480
They're not coming back!
368
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,350
Do you know that?
369
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,310
They're not coming back!
370
00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:36,070
Hua Zhi!
371
00:19:36,350 --> 00:19:36,960
Zhi!
372
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:37,920
- Zhi!
- Zhi!
373
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:38,920
- Zhi!
- Zhi!
374
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,550
Zhi, what happened?
375
00:19:40,750 --> 00:19:41,920
Wake up, Zhi!
376
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,030
The imperial decree has arrived!
377
00:19:44,590 --> 00:19:46,830
Hurry out to receive the decree
with gratitude.
378
00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:05,240
Hua Zhi, the eldest granddaughter
of the Hua Family,
379
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:06,880
where is she?
380
00:20:07,070 --> 00:20:08,960
Kneel and listen to the decree.
381
00:20:11,830 --> 00:20:13,720
My daughter isn't feeling well.
382
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,680
I, her birth mother,
will listen to the decree on her behalf.
383
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,110
This is against the rule.
384
00:20:20,750 --> 00:20:21,880
I beseech you to show mercy.
385
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:23,750
We do not intend to offend,
386
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,960
but Zhi truly cannot get up now.
387
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,270
If she cannot get up,
388
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,110
then I'll have to trouble you
389
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,550
to carry her out
390
00:20:30,590 --> 00:20:31,680
and put her on the ground.
391
00:20:32,030 --> 00:20:34,070
The imperial decree
is more important than everything else.
392
00:20:34,310 --> 00:20:35,200
What is all this noise about?
393
00:20:37,790 --> 00:20:38,350
Young Lord,
394
00:20:38,550 --> 00:20:39,400
how come you're here?
395
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,680
Please forgive me!
396
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,480
I only knew that
he was not an ordinary man.
397
00:20:45,750 --> 00:20:47,350
Who would have known
he was the young lord?
398
00:20:47,350 --> 00:20:49,270
Does this mean Zhi is going to be fine?
399
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,070
Since you recognize me,
400
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,640
why haven't you
announced the decree yet?
401
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,440
Yes, yes.
402
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,110
Let's kneel.
403
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,310
Since the beginning of our dynasty,
the canal has been silted up.
404
00:21:05,550 --> 00:21:08,440
It's been difficult to irrigate fields,
causing the people to be homeless.
405
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,680
I am always in pain over this.
406
00:21:11,030 --> 00:21:12,200
The commoner girl, Hua Zhi,
407
00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:14,640
has volunteered to sacrifice
her family's wealth to help.
408
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,640
She is to carry out the work of dredging
409
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,960
to redeem her family's sin
410
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,030
and to repay
the kindness of the Emperor.
411
00:21:21,310 --> 00:21:23,200
Today, by special grace,
Hua Zhi is permitted
412
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:26,200
to gather enough funds within ten days
413
00:21:26,310 --> 00:21:28,590
for recruiting labor.
414
00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:30,510
That is all.
415
00:21:42,310 --> 00:21:44,920
This...this... His Majesty...
416
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,270
What does His Majesty mean by this?
417
00:21:46,550 --> 00:21:48,960
It seems you don't know about this yet.
418
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:50,790
Miss Hua
419
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,070
spoke eloquently before His Majesty
420
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,680
and described the drought situation.
421
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,440
His Majesty was quite appreciative
422
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,640
and thus gave Miss Hua
423
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:00,680
this opportunity.
424
00:22:01,070 --> 00:22:03,270
She can sacrifice her own family
for the greater good
425
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,830
by donating
the Hua Family's accumulated wealth
426
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,310
in its entirety.
427
00:22:07,590 --> 00:22:09,160
This money will be used
to dredge the canals
428
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,270
in the three provinces
near the Imperial Capital,
429
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,440
to relieve the drought.
430
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,000
Madam,
431
00:22:16,510 --> 00:22:17,880
accept the decree.
432
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:21,960
Accept it.
433
00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:22,590
Alright.
434
00:22:30,550 --> 00:22:32,440
But His Majesty has also said
435
00:22:33,030 --> 00:22:34,200
that since Miss Hua
436
00:22:34,270 --> 00:22:36,270
volunteered to do this,
437
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,720
if she changed her mind,
438
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,680
she can withdraw the donation.
439
00:22:40,110 --> 00:22:41,160
If she refuses to donate,
440
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:42,750
what will happen to her?
441
00:22:43,110 --> 00:22:45,070
Then, Miss Hua
442
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:46,960
will be considered
deceiving and disrespecting His Majesty.
443
00:22:47,070 --> 00:22:48,960
She might not face the death penalty,
444
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,880
but a punishment will be hard to avoid.
445
00:23:00,550 --> 00:23:02,000
What exactly is going on here?
446
00:23:02,270 --> 00:23:03,000
They're asking
447
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:04,350
for the lifesaving money
448
00:23:04,350 --> 00:23:05,240
of our entire family!
449
00:23:06,310 --> 00:23:07,160
Madams,
450
00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:10,110
His Majesty has issued a decree
451
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:12,400
that the men of the Hua Family
452
00:23:13,750 --> 00:23:14,750
will never be pardoned.
453
00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:22,350
Redeeming them with money
454
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,720
is no longer possible for your family.
455
00:23:24,790 --> 00:23:25,750
So,
456
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,750
they...
457
00:23:29,030 --> 00:23:30,680
They can't come home anymore?
458
00:23:33,030 --> 00:23:34,030
His Majesty, he...
459
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,790
He won't let us redeem our people?
460
00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:39,000
My Boyu.
461
00:23:40,790 --> 00:23:42,350
My Boyu!
462
00:23:43,830 --> 00:23:45,350
Why is this happening?
463
00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:46,880
What exactly
464
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,480
have we done to offend His Majesty?
465
00:23:48,550 --> 00:23:50,160
Please, tell us!
466
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,640
No wonder.
467
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,310
No wonder Zhi couldn't stand it.
468
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,440
Tell me,
469
00:24:01,070 --> 00:24:02,880
why did His Majesty go back
on his own words?
470
00:24:03,070 --> 00:24:04,030
Tell me!
471
00:24:04,350 --> 00:24:07,790
Why did he?
472
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,440
Madam,
473
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,510
doesn't the Empress Dowager
474
00:24:15,550 --> 00:24:17,200
have some friendship with our family?
475
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,030
Why don't we think of a way
476
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,160
to beg her?
477
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:22,750
Mr. Yan...
478
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:24,440
No.
479
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,200
Lord Yan.
480
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,550
Aren't you the young lord?
481
00:24:29,750 --> 00:24:31,240
You are certainly
able to see His Majesty,
482
00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:31,920
Right?
483
00:24:32,590 --> 00:24:34,030
You can see him,
484
00:24:34,030 --> 00:24:35,240
right?
485
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,200
Can you see him?
486
00:24:42,030 --> 00:24:43,750
Lord Yan!
487
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,030
Stop.
488
00:24:49,310 --> 00:24:51,070
That old man did it on purpose.
489
00:24:51,510 --> 00:24:52,550
Now I'm afraid
490
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,200
that no one
can make him change his mind.
491
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,680
Not too early, not too late.
492
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,720
He waited until we almost
493
00:25:02,830 --> 00:25:04,400
made enough money through hard work
494
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,000
and then issued this decree
to ruin it for us completely.
495
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,200
He must be laughing in the Palace now.
496
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,830
He just wants to laugh
497
00:25:15,270 --> 00:25:17,960
at seeing our whole family cry together.
498
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,400
If you want to cry, just cry it out.
499
00:25:57,750 --> 00:25:59,240
That His Majesty or whatever
500
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,110
is really hateful.
501
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,590
Zhi's life has been so difficult.
502
00:26:02,590 --> 00:26:03,440
It's all because of him.
503
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:05,270
The whole family is so upset.
504
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,270
It's also because of him.
505
00:26:06,510 --> 00:26:08,160
Why doesn't he come to me for medicine?
506
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,790
I would make him
507
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,440
the bitterest medicine.
508
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,160
I would have him drink it
509
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:13,400
and never wake up again!
510
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,640
You can't say such things!
511
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:17,640
Why not?
512
00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:19,110
Don't his actions invite comment?
513
00:26:19,270 --> 00:26:20,310
I would just make that kind...
514
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:30,920
Let me help you!
515
00:26:49,980 --> 00:26:51,520
[Imperial Decree]
516
00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:56,070
You're awake.
517
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,200
Shaoyao is brewing medicine for you.
518
00:27:07,510 --> 00:27:08,270
But before you drink it,
519
00:27:08,350 --> 00:27:09,400
you should eat something.
520
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:10,550
Otherwise, it may hurt your stomach.
521
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,310
Shaoyao also said
522
00:27:12,750 --> 00:27:13,440
that the medicine is very bitter.
523
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,030
So I sent Shen Huan
524
00:27:15,110 --> 00:27:16,160
to buy you some sweets.
525
00:27:20,030 --> 00:27:21,920
In the ultimate heaven,
526
00:27:22,790 --> 00:27:24,480
there're five stars.
527
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,070
Yanxi,
528
00:27:28,590 --> 00:27:30,350
I've finally climbed up
529
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,350
to pick that star,
530
00:27:32,350 --> 00:27:33,590
which is the hardest to reach.
531
00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:36,110
But suddenly, the star disappeared.
532
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,590
What should I do?
533
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,030
One single sentence from him
534
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:43,920
made everyone's efforts
535
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,030
turn into nothing.
536
00:27:46,030 --> 00:27:46,960
If I donate the money,
537
00:27:48,590 --> 00:27:50,030
how will my family survive?
538
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:57,960
But if you don't,
539
00:27:58,830 --> 00:27:59,880
you will be punished.
540
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:01,640
So what?
541
00:28:07,590 --> 00:28:08,680
As we've said before,
542
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:11,160
if you have wings,
543
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:12,790
you might as well fly away.
544
00:28:15,030 --> 00:28:16,590
Now I can be your wings.
545
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,510
Let's leave
the Imperial Capital together.
546
00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:22,270
Do you know
547
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,110
that you've just betrayed the one
you have been loyal to?
548
00:28:29,830 --> 00:28:30,400
We both should
549
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,510
make the choice once more.
550
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,310
When you asked me before,
551
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,350
I said we could decide
by flipping a coin.
552
00:28:36,030 --> 00:28:37,590
Do you need a coin this time?
553
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,550
This time,
554
00:28:42,030 --> 00:28:43,350
I know how to choose.
555
00:29:02,830 --> 00:29:03,510
Zhi!
556
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:04,750
- Zhi.
- You're awake!
557
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,830
Why did you get up?
558
00:29:08,110 --> 00:29:09,030
Your face is so pale.
559
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,240
Quickly, sit down.
560
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:11,960
Come on.
561
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:18,880
The deadline given by His Majesty
562
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:19,790
is ten days away.
563
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,550
We don't have much time left.
564
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:22,880
Miss Zhi,
565
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:24,110
is there a solution?
566
00:29:25,350 --> 00:29:26,830
Actually,
we still have a place to go to.
567
00:29:27,070 --> 00:29:27,830
The northern land.
568
00:29:29,550 --> 00:29:30,750
They're not coming back,
569
00:29:30,830 --> 00:29:32,070
but we can go there.
570
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,270
Right now, we have
more than twenty million qian.
571
00:29:34,510 --> 00:29:36,200
That's enough for our whole family
to live out our days in peace.
572
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:37,880
This New Year's Eve,
573
00:29:38,270 --> 00:29:40,000
our entire family
will reunite in the northern land.
574
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,480
Then...
575
00:29:43,790 --> 00:29:45,880
Are we going to ignore that decree?
576
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:47,510
If you run away,
577
00:29:47,750 --> 00:29:49,240
you'll be considered
deceiving the Emperor!
578
00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:50,830
Mother, rest assured.
579
00:29:51,030 --> 00:29:52,110
I have been to the northern land.
580
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,000
The land is sealed in ice
581
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:55,000
with countless mountain ranges.
582
00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:56,440
He won't be able to find me.
583
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,400
Besides,
584
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,790
Yanxi will stay by my side
585
00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,790
and protect me.
586
00:30:01,110 --> 00:30:03,000
This is why we say Zhi is clever.
587
00:30:03,310 --> 00:30:03,920
How come
588
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,510
we never thought of that?
589
00:30:05,830 --> 00:30:08,070
I'm going to the northern land
to see Boyu!
590
00:30:09,750 --> 00:30:11,640
But life is hard in there.
591
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,480
Once we go there,
we may not be able to return.
592
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:18,000
So be it.
593
00:30:18,510 --> 00:30:20,480
As long as the family can be together.
594
00:30:21,310 --> 00:30:23,790
What does it matter
if we don't come back?
595
00:30:25,790 --> 00:30:27,160
Last time when Zhi came back,
596
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:28,920
she talked about the apricots
597
00:30:29,070 --> 00:30:30,200
and mutton in the northern land.
598
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,310
I've been wanting to try them
since then.
599
00:30:33,270 --> 00:30:34,070
The apricots are delicious!
600
00:30:34,270 --> 00:30:34,920
Mother,
601
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,270
let's go there as soon as possible!
602
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:38,270
Mother,
603
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,350
I'm willing to go too.
604
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,510
Let's all go, all of us.
605
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,640
So this time, should we
606
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:44,960
prepare some more winter clothes?
607
00:30:45,110 --> 00:30:46,480
There's no time to make them.
608
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,510
Hurry and pack up.
We'll set off immediately.
609
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:56,110
Aunt Wu,
610
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,200
do you remember
611
00:30:57,270 --> 00:30:58,750
the letter
Uncle Pingyang wrote you last time?
612
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
He said the view in the northern land
is so magnificent.
613
00:31:01,350 --> 00:31:03,070
And while working,
614
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,640
he often sings songs
of the northern land.
615
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,030
Perhaps when you go there,
616
00:31:06,110 --> 00:31:07,030
he could even teach you those songs.
617
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:07,880
That's enough.
618
00:31:09,310 --> 00:31:10,550
Do you think
619
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,110
that you're the only
620
00:31:12,110 --> 00:31:13,030
smart person
621
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:14,750
and we are all fools?
622
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,070
If you truly defy the order
and refuse to donate,
623
00:31:21,550 --> 00:31:22,830
by the time we arrive
in the northern land
624
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,880
there will be prison carts
625
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:25,920
waiting for you.
626
00:31:27,310 --> 00:31:28,440
Yeah!
627
00:31:29,550 --> 00:31:31,030
You said the land is sealed in ice
628
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,070
with countless mountain ranges.
629
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,310
But if one could truly hide there,
630
00:31:36,110 --> 00:31:37,880
all those men in the prisoner camp
631
00:31:38,550 --> 00:31:39,830
would have run away already,
wouldn't they?
632
00:31:43,110 --> 00:31:43,880
Zhi,
633
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,720
is it true?
634
00:31:46,790 --> 00:31:47,440
Zhi,
635
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,440
from the beginning,
636
00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:50,680
you never planned
637
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:51,400
to go with us,
638
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,200
right?
639
00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:14,720
The holder of this seal
640
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,240
has the right to lead this family.
641
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,310
Most of you are my elders.
642
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,830
But you still need to follow my words.
643
00:32:20,110 --> 00:32:22,030
There are forty-three chests
of copper coins in the house.
644
00:32:22,350 --> 00:32:23,640
Madam Xia will convert those
into gold bars
645
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:24,550
and distribute them among the family.
646
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:25,790
And you will leave immediately.
647
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,920
Defying my words, defying family rules.
648
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:37,680
The forty-three chests of money,
649
00:32:38,030 --> 00:32:38,960
who earned it?
650
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,310
Who earned it? Tell me!
651
00:32:42,830 --> 00:32:43,590
Zhi,
652
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,270
that money
653
00:32:45,350 --> 00:32:47,110
was not earned by this family seal
654
00:32:47,270 --> 00:32:49,110
or by you alone.
655
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:50,440
She's right, my lady.
656
00:32:50,790 --> 00:32:52,310
I'm not taking your side this time.
657
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,030
Although we are only maids,
658
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:55,790
we have truly put in effort too.
659
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,310
About how to spend this money,
660
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,200
you should be asking
661
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,270
about our thoughts too, shouldn't you?
662
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:00,880
Yingchun is right.
663
00:33:01,510 --> 00:33:03,270
About whether we should spend the money
664
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,000
on maintaining
the wealthy life of the family
665
00:33:05,110 --> 00:33:06,400
or on ensuring your safety,
666
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:07,680
it's up to everyone.
667
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,030
If we follow the decree,
668
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,880
we'll lose all our hard-earned money
669
00:33:11,110 --> 00:33:12,640
and all our efforts will be in vain!
670
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,110
We might even lose
671
00:33:14,110 --> 00:33:15,070
this old house too.
672
00:33:15,550 --> 00:33:16,270
Say no more.
673
00:33:17,070 --> 00:33:18,680
Yingchun,
go fetch some paper and brushes.
674
00:33:18,790 --> 00:33:19,440
Yes.
675
00:33:20,030 --> 00:33:21,000
Let's all just
676
00:33:21,030 --> 00:33:22,310
state our opinions.
677
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,160
If you're willing to donate,
678
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,790
draw a circle on the paper.
679
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,830
If not,
680
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,270
then draw nothing.
681
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,590
Nianqiu,
682
00:33:29,790 --> 00:33:30,680
go get Mr. Yan
683
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:31,350
and let him be the witness.
684
00:33:31,790 --> 00:33:32,350
Yes.
685
00:33:43,510 --> 00:33:44,400
If we do not donate the money,
686
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,830
we'll be able to live a good life
687
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:47,000
in the northern land.
688
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:49,030
And if we donate the money,
689
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,590
it'll be like the time
when our properties were confiscated.
690
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:52,790
We'll have nothing left.
691
00:33:53,550 --> 00:33:54,750
Are you afraid?
692
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:10,630
I've heard
693
00:34:10,630 --> 00:34:12,110
repairing the canal requires
hiring laborers
694
00:34:12,230 --> 00:34:13,190
to build embankments.
695
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,030
That will cost a huge sum of money.
696
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:15,880
Indeed.
697
00:34:16,030 --> 00:34:17,280
Those forty-three chests
698
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,280
may not be enough.
699
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:19,840
Even the mansion might have to be sold.
700
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:54,480
Stop doing the math.
701
00:37:01,150 --> 00:37:02,000
The blockage in the canal
702
00:37:02,230 --> 00:37:03,400
cannot be cleared in a day.
703
00:37:04,230 --> 00:37:05,550
For embankment construction
and dredging,
704
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,590
even if my family were
to spend all its wealth,
705
00:37:07,590 --> 00:37:08,510
it wouldn't be enough still.
706
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,550
You've known this all along,
707
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,000
so you told me not to do the math,
708
00:37:12,110 --> 00:37:12,880
right?
709
00:37:14,670 --> 00:37:15,550
When it comes to math,
710
00:37:16,190 --> 00:37:17,110
how could I match you?
711
00:37:17,510 --> 00:37:18,360
It's just that
712
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,110
I understand His Majesty to some extent.
713
00:37:19,630 --> 00:37:21,400
If the Hua Family
doesn't go bankrupt completely,
714
00:37:23,710 --> 00:37:24,710
he won't give up.
715
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:27,280
They all want to save me.
716
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,510
But in reality, whatever we do,
717
00:37:31,110 --> 00:37:32,150
there's no way out.
718
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,070
But this time, when you sail the ship,
719
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,280
you'll have the captain, the boatmen,
720
00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:42,960
the passengers
who brave the storms with you,
721
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,190
and me.
722
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,440
Where are you going?
723
00:37:58,800 --> 00:37:59,550
Wait for me.
724
00:38:08,230 --> 00:38:08,880
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
725
00:38:09,070 --> 00:38:10,070
- This way, please.
- Sorry to have kept you waiting.
726
00:38:10,190 --> 00:38:10,670
Alright.
727
00:38:13,030 --> 00:38:13,480
Gentlemen,
728
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:14,630
have you heard
729
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:16,150
that Miss Hua from Zhiming Restaurant
730
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,280
is selling off her share?
731
00:38:18,550 --> 00:38:19,360
The price is very low.
732
00:38:20,030 --> 00:38:22,480
Seems like she's
in urgent need of money.
733
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,030
Her business
734
00:38:25,070 --> 00:38:26,280
has been running well recently.
735
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:27,920
Why the rush to sell it?
736
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:29,480
To be honest,
737
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,320
I did hear some news.
738
00:38:31,550 --> 00:38:33,760
A few days ago,
messengers from the Palace
739
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,110
went straight to the Hua Family.
740
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,840
I heard His Majesty commanded
the Hua Family
741
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,550
to finance the canal repair!
742
00:38:40,190 --> 00:38:41,510
Mr. Li is right.
743
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,800
Lady Zhi is in urgent need of money
744
00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:45,030
because she has accepted
745
00:38:45,070 --> 00:38:46,150
the imperial decree
to repair the river channels.
746
00:38:46,630 --> 00:38:47,030
This...
747
00:38:47,190 --> 00:38:48,760
How could she possibly manage that?
748
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:49,880
This year's severe drought
749
00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:51,150
has left the canal dry.
750
00:38:51,550 --> 00:38:52,800
The farmland can't be irrigated,
751
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,360
nor can food be transported in.
752
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,030
Dredging the river channels
will cost a fortune.
753
00:38:57,590 --> 00:38:58,440
This money,
754
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,400
His Majesty decided
to get it from the Hua Family.
755
00:39:02,070 --> 00:39:03,800
So Miss Hua is selling her business
756
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,320
just to donate it away?
757
00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:06,550
In three days,
758
00:39:06,710 --> 00:39:07,710
if we can't raise enough money,
759
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,510
Lady Zhi will not survive.
760
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:14,070
I am willing to
761
00:39:14,070 --> 00:39:15,400
sell the other half
of Zhiming Restaurant
762
00:39:15,550 --> 00:39:16,960
and give all the proceeds to Lady Zhi.
763
00:39:17,190 --> 00:39:20,000
Please, my fellowmen, help us.
764
00:39:27,670 --> 00:39:28,190
Everyone,
765
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,590
only in times of peace,
766
00:39:29,670 --> 00:39:31,030
people can have some spare money
to spend in restaurants
767
00:39:31,150 --> 00:39:32,070
and support our businesses.
768
00:39:32,670 --> 00:39:33,670
Now, half of Daqing
769
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,760
is suffering from natural disasters.
770
00:39:35,150 --> 00:39:36,400
Who can remain unaffected?
771
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,840
Miss Hua is donating her fortune
to repair the canal.
772
00:39:39,190 --> 00:39:40,230
And I, Zhu, surely won't be the kind
773
00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:41,550
standing by and watching.
774
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:43,000
I'll say no more.
775
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:44,190
Please
776
00:39:44,190 --> 00:39:45,360
take me to Miss Hua.
777
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,230
I am willing to help.
778
00:39:47,550 --> 00:39:48,590
Thank you, Mr. Zhu.
779
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:50,550
Earlier, thanks to her,
780
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,880
I invested in the cargo ship
781
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,400
and made some money out of it.
782
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,320
If Miss Hua doesn't mind,
783
00:39:56,590 --> 00:39:57,590
I'll take out that part of the money
784
00:39:57,670 --> 00:39:58,230
and donate it.
785
00:39:59,510 --> 00:40:00,590
Alright, alright.
786
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:01,670
Let us
787
00:40:02,030 --> 00:40:03,840
go to the Hua Mansion and talk to her!
788
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:06,230
- Thank you!
- Thank you all!
789
00:40:06,710 --> 00:40:07,110
Then let's go.
790
00:40:07,230 --> 00:40:07,510
This way.
791
00:40:07,590 --> 00:40:08,000
After you.
792
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,360
Miss Hua!
793
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,550
Miss Hua.
794
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:23,190
She's here.
795
00:40:24,670 --> 00:40:25,280
Miss Hua.
796
00:40:25,670 --> 00:40:26,480
We know you're busy,
797
00:40:26,710 --> 00:40:27,670
so we'll make it short.
798
00:40:28,190 --> 00:40:29,150
You are the first employer
799
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:30,840
who treats us as human beings.
800
00:40:31,110 --> 00:40:32,190
Indeed!
801
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:33,150
We've pooled together some money.
802
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,150
Please consider it
our appreciation to you.
803
00:40:35,230 --> 00:40:35,840
I can't take this.
804
00:40:36,190 --> 00:40:36,760
Miss Hua,
805
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:37,760
thanks to you,
806
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:38,880
all of us
807
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,360
had a prosperous year last year.
808
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:41,000
[Hua Mansion]
809
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:41,840
We farmers
810
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,320
don't have much to offer.
811
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,630
The peaches in the orchard
aren't fully ripe yet.
812
00:40:46,070 --> 00:40:47,510
We talked about it
813
00:40:47,630 --> 00:40:48,360
and decided
814
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:49,280
to pre-sell them.
815
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:50,590
This is a small amount of money.
816
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:51,840
Miss Hua,
817
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:53,190
please accept it.
818
00:40:53,230 --> 00:40:55,920
Take it, please.
819
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,710
Please!
820
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:00,030
Miss Hua,
821
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:01,150
I'm from the Shen Family.
822
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:02,590
Madam Shen sent me here.
823
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,670
Madam Shen? Is she good?
824
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,070
She really wants you to have this.
825
00:41:13,710 --> 00:41:15,400
She said without your help,
826
00:41:15,510 --> 00:41:17,480
the Shen Family would've fallen already.
827
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:19,800
Madam Lin!
828
00:41:23,070 --> 00:41:23,960
Miss.
829
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:28,550
Miss.
830
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,670
The haws from these two trees
831
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,960
are the best, the reddest ones!
832
00:41:34,670 --> 00:41:36,400
This is from me.
833
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,630
It'll be alright.
834
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,070
Things will get better.
835
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:40,280
Zhi,
836
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,920
this haw is delicious.
837
00:41:51,150 --> 00:41:51,670
It's so sweet,
838
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:53,230
even sweeter than last year's.
839
00:42:08,070 --> 00:42:09,230
This is too much.
840
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:11,550
It's from Lord Ling's Mansion.
841
00:42:12,110 --> 00:42:13,000
Just take it.
842
00:42:16,110 --> 00:42:16,840
And these
843
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,960
are from the Empress Dowager.
844
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:21,630
Thank you for being here for me.
845
00:42:23,110 --> 00:42:23,960
But, Hua Zhi,
846
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,190
now I have nothing.
847
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,070
Me too.
848
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,590
Do you even care?
849
00:42:32,590 --> 00:42:33,840
This is the only thing I have left.
850
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:35,480
You didn't want it before.
851
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,550
Are you willing to put it on now?
