00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,080
why are you suddenly telling us
19
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,270
to pack up and go back to our hometown?
20
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:48,960
It's just to lay low for a while.

to manage the family estate.

Just do as I say.
26
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,640
This old hometown is remote and poor.

We're going back to suffer much.
28
00:02:01,110 --> 00:02:03,110
And you're not even telling us
what's going on.
29

Do you look down on us
and want to drive us away?

Do you really want to know
what's happening in the capital?

Is he planning to rebel?

00:03:15,390 --> 00:03:16,670
This memorial is well written.

He's using the ceremony
of presenting captives as a reason
46
00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:21,270
to increase the number
of troops escorting the captives.
47
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:22,870
It's reasonable.
48

You have to approve this memorial,
Your Majesty.
49
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,110
But this doesn't seem like a plan

that Lord Cheng and the Eldest Princess
could come up with.
51
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,520
There's a mastermind behind them?
52
00:03:30,830 --> 00:03:31,590
It's hard to tell.
53

Are we just letting them march back
to the capital

outside the capital?

and capture Lord Cheng
during the grand sacrificial ceremony?

No, we cannot.

The best justification for war

However,
110
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,790
if she were to fake her death,
111
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,270

112
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,200
So, Your Highness already has a plan?

With your brilliance,

will not be able to appear
before the public.
119
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,150
But with her temperament,
120
00:07:47,830 --> 00:07:49,150
she certainly wouldn't agree to this.
121
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,520
Therefore, I don't plan
to inform her in advance.
122
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,270
At that time, I will have her take
the fake death potion

00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:58,150
and finish the act.
124
00:07:58,830 --> 00:07:59,960
Once it's done,
125
00:08:00,350 --> 00:08:01,680
I ask that Your Highness speak

00:08:02,470 --> 00:08:04,270
on my behalf to the Eldest Princess.
127
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:07,080
My sister
128
00:08:08,270 --> 00:08:09,640

we cannot underestimate the situation
in the northern region.
185
00:11:27,990 --> 00:11:28,680
In my absence,
186
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,920
those from the Dai Country
may cause trouble.
187
00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:33,920
I ask for Your Majesty's understanding.
188
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,800
Sheng, you are truly a blessing
to our Great Yan.
189
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:38,400
Please come inside.
190
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:39,990
Your Majesty, after you.
191
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,400
It's been a long time.
192
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,230
You've lost weight.
193
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,230
I feel sorry for you.
194
00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:28,440
During your absence from the capital,
195
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,280
I've been concerned about you.
196
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,870
But you always ignore me.
197
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,590
Don't you think it's unfair?
198
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Wanning,
199
00:12:37,990 --> 00:12:40,440
drop the act.
200
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:41,990
Sheng,
201
00:12:42,750 --> 00:12:45,350
I've heard that His Majesty
has given you many rewards.
202
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:46,590
Leave us.
203
00:12:47,230 --> 00:12:49,470
I want to talk
to the Eldest Princess alone.
204
00:12:55,510 --> 00:12:56,630
Those worldly possessions
205
00:12:57,590 --> 00:12:59,920
are just reminders
of His Majesty's grace,
206
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,040
urging me not to act recklessly.
207
00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:06,110
I've endured in the north
for so many years,
208
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:09,660
not for those rewards.
209
00:13:10,070 --> 00:13:10,830
Sheng,
210
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:12,950
are you planning to take action now?
211
00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:16,660
You were easily deceived
with a fake pregnancy potion.
212
00:13:17,710 --> 00:13:19,380
Having a child doesn't make one foolish.
213
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:22,740
If our relationship
with Li Zhongnan breaks,
214
00:13:24,350 --> 00:13:26,190
how will our grand plan succeed?
215
00:13:26,830 --> 00:13:29,740
Sheng, you are heroic
and exceptional now.
216
00:13:30,950 --> 00:13:32,740
Now, you dare to blame me.
217
00:13:34,190 --> 00:13:36,310
As if you've forgotten
218
00:13:36,310 --> 00:13:38,500
how you fled the city in disgrace.
219
00:13:40,540 --> 00:13:44,190
If it weren't for Xiao Minghan's
interference back then,
220
00:13:45,380 --> 00:13:47,260
the one sitting on the throne today
221
00:13:47,260 --> 00:13:49,070
wouldn't be Zhao Ye.
222
00:13:50,860 --> 00:13:52,740
A remarkable figure like Xiao Minghan
223
00:13:53,590 --> 00:13:56,380
has surprisingly raised
such a devoted son
224
00:13:57,070 --> 00:13:59,620
who loves beautiful women but not power.
225
00:14:06,070 --> 00:14:07,430
Let's go pay respects to Mother.
226
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:11,900
[Yong'an Pavilion]
227
00:14:11,900 --> 00:14:16,340
[Tablet of Consort Li Yunxian]
228
00:14:18,350 --> 00:14:19,620
Mother, wake up.
229
00:14:19,620 --> 00:14:22,620
Mother, I will behave in the future.
230
00:14:22,620 --> 00:14:23,710
[Consort Li]
Mother.
231
00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:26,620
[Young Wanning. Young Lord Cheng]
Mother, you'll be fine.
232
00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:31,430
I don't come from a prestigious family,
233
00:14:32,660 --> 00:14:36,860
nor am I your father's favorite consort.
234
00:14:37,900 --> 00:14:39,380
Although I was titled
as the Imperial Consort
235
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:42,350
since I gave birth to you,
236
00:14:42,740 --> 00:14:46,710
I still had to be cautious
237
00:14:47,780 --> 00:14:49,830
and vigilant.
238
00:14:50,860 --> 00:14:52,710
I fear that a single misstep
239
00:14:53,740 --> 00:14:55,660
would lead to being plotted against.
240
00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:58,780
In this palace,
241
00:14:59,830 --> 00:15:01,990
I've seen coldness and malice
242
00:15:02,950 --> 00:15:04,990
[Tablet of Consort Li Yunxian]
and how heartless people can be.
243
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:07,140
After I'm gone,
244
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:09,950
you must support each other
245
00:15:10,780 --> 00:15:12,380
and take care of yourselves.
246
00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:14,740
Understand?
247
00:15:15,620 --> 00:15:16,380
Understood.
248
00:15:25,430 --> 00:15:27,430
Sheng. Jing.
249
00:15:28,380 --> 00:15:29,500
Remember.
250
00:15:30,590 --> 00:15:33,500
Survival in the palace
is about survival of the fittest.
251
00:15:34,470 --> 00:15:36,780
Only through competition
can you survive.
252
00:15:38,540 --> 00:15:41,070
[Tablet of Consort Li Yunxian]
Only supreme imperial power
253
00:15:42,430 --> 00:15:45,110
can truly protect yourselves.
254
00:15:51,620 --> 00:15:52,620
Grand Chancellor Li?
255
00:15:56,780 --> 00:15:57,780
Lord Cheng,
256
00:15:58,230 --> 00:15:59,190
Eldest Princess.
257
00:16:01,020 --> 00:16:02,110
Tell me your plans.
258
00:16:02,350 --> 00:16:05,070
The uprising will be
at tomorrow's evening banquet.
259
00:16:05,830 --> 00:16:07,350
We need to divide our forces into four.
260
00:16:11,420 --> 00:16:13,700
[Imperial Court]
261
00:16:32,350 --> 00:16:34,950
You are wise, resourceful,
and give great contributions.
262
00:16:35,590 --> 00:16:37,860
I will definitely reward you generously.
263
00:16:38,110 --> 00:16:40,260
It's all thanks to the Eldest Princess's
strategic planning.
264
00:16:40,590 --> 00:16:42,380
Official Li,
I don't understand these matters.
265
00:16:43,310 --> 00:16:45,020
Sheng, let me introduce
someone to you.
266
00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:46,900
You have a military advisor?
267
00:17:08,150 --> 00:17:08,780
Sheng,
268
00:17:09,390 --> 00:17:12,230
this is Shen Yurong,
whom I mentioned to you before.
269
00:17:14,580 --> 00:17:17,100
Greetings, Lord Cheng.
270
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:19,100
Mr. Shen is wise and resourceful.
271
00:17:19,950 --> 00:17:21,580
What position
are you currently ranked at?
272
00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:23,910
A scholar at Hanlin Academy, Fifth Rank.
273
00:17:24,260 --> 00:17:26,740
My younger brother really doesn't know
how to judge people.
274
00:17:27,740 --> 00:17:28,300
Rest assured.
275
00:17:28,780 --> 00:17:32,910
After this is done,
I will ensure your success.
276
00:17:34,300 --> 00:17:36,230
Thank you, Your Majesty.
277
00:17:39,340 --> 00:17:40,950
Long live Your Majesty.
278
00:17:57,380 --> 00:17:58,860
[Imperial Court]
279
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:03,740
Is everything ready?
280
00:18:05,910 --> 00:18:06,910
I have been waiting for eight years.
281
00:18:07,540 --> 00:18:08,870
Finally, this day has come.
282
00:18:09,580 --> 00:18:11,060
It feels somewhat surreal.
283
00:18:11,580 --> 00:18:12,190
Li,
284
00:18:12,910 --> 00:18:14,670
do you remember
the question you asked me
285
00:18:14,670 --> 00:18:15,990
in the Court of Judicial Review prison?
286
00:18:16,340 --> 00:18:17,670
I didn't answer that day.
287
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:19,340
Now, ask me again.
288
00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:22,190
Duke Su,
289
00:18:23,580 --> 00:18:26,020
do you have anyone who died unjustly?
290
00:18:26,670 --> 00:18:27,190
Yes.
291
00:18:31,060 --> 00:18:33,260
My father led the Longwu Army
all his life,
292
00:18:34,820 --> 00:18:36,780
only to be abandoned outside the capital
293
00:18:36,780 --> 00:18:38,260
by Lord Cheng for his own gain,
294
00:18:38,740 --> 00:18:40,230
causing his death at the border.
295
00:18:41,020 --> 00:18:43,430
I have also beaten the Dengwen Drum
outside the capital for him.
296
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:46,230
But I couldn't clear his name
at that time.
297
00:18:49,950 --> 00:18:51,670
For these eight years,
I've been wondering.
298
00:18:53,710 --> 00:18:55,670
What was my father thinking
299
00:18:56,710 --> 00:18:58,020
before his unjust death?
300
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:00,470
Did he regret believing
301
00:19:00,470 --> 00:19:02,740
in such ambitious
and treacherous people?
302
00:19:05,670 --> 00:19:08,390
My father also loved the people
like his own children.
303
00:19:09,950 --> 00:19:11,780
If General Xiao were still alive,
304
00:19:12,540 --> 00:19:14,470
they would surely
share a drink and talk.
305
00:19:19,390 --> 00:19:19,950
Xiao Heng,
306
00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:23,740
you once told me
307
00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:26,150
to look back at the cause,
308
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:27,740
seek justice and uphold righteousness.
309
00:19:28,910 --> 00:19:29,820
I've done that.
310
00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:32,710
The heavens are clear.
311
00:19:32,710 --> 00:19:33,540
Karma will not be unjust.
312
00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:35,230
I believe in the heavens.
313
00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:38,820
General Xiao's spirit
in the heavens will bless you.
314
00:19:40,740 --> 00:19:42,300
You've never believed in the heavens.
315
00:19:44,060 --> 00:19:45,470
You only believe
316
00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:47,390
in yourself.
317
00:19:48,990 --> 00:19:49,500
No.
318
00:19:55,630 --> 00:19:56,710
I also believe in you.
319
00:20:02,430 --> 00:20:03,430
Please believe in me too.
320
00:20:04,820 --> 00:20:06,430
Lord Cheng framed loyal ministers
and virtuous generals
321
00:20:06,740 --> 00:20:08,100
for his own selfish gain.
322
00:20:08,740 --> 00:20:10,580
Wanning tolerated corrupt officials
323
00:20:11,260 --> 00:20:12,540
for the so-called power.
324
00:20:13,470 --> 00:20:14,430
In their hearts,
325
00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:16,300
it's not about the people,
326
00:20:16,670 --> 00:20:17,630
but about power.
327
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:20,190
Regardless of whether it's divine will
or human nature,
328
00:20:20,190 --> 00:20:21,390
it won't favor them.
329
00:20:22,990 --> 00:20:23,780
Also,
330
00:20:30,060 --> 00:20:31,260
I will not abandon you
331
00:20:33,060 --> 00:20:33,950
no matter what.
332
00:21:00,340 --> 00:21:02,540
[Jiang's Residence]
333
00:21:03,020 --> 00:21:06,780
This morning, Ruoyao sent me a letter.
334
00:21:07,540 --> 00:21:10,060
She said she's doing well in Yongzhou.
335
00:21:18,100 --> 00:21:19,060
This child
336
00:21:20,390 --> 00:21:22,230
also reminded me
337
00:21:22,300 --> 00:21:23,910
not to overwork myself
338
00:21:24,870 --> 00:21:28,100
and to delegate household matters to Li.
339
00:21:29,950 --> 00:21:30,580
Unbelievable.
340
00:21:32,060 --> 00:21:32,710
Mother,
341
00:21:33,950 --> 00:21:36,470
I've been thinking a lot lately.
342
00:21:37,260 --> 00:21:40,020
If I hadn't agreed
to be the Secretariat Director
343
00:21:40,020 --> 00:21:41,390
for the late emperor back then,
344
00:21:42,740 --> 00:21:44,580
would our Jiang family
345
00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:47,990
be in a different situation now?
346
00:21:54,150 --> 00:21:56,430
You are Ye's teacher.
347
00:21:57,580 --> 00:22:01,300
All his knowledge comes from you.
348
00:22:01,950 --> 00:22:05,300
His character
can truly benefit the people.
349
00:22:06,670 --> 00:22:07,670
Now,
350
00:22:09,500 --> 00:22:11,150
I'm about to place him
351
00:22:13,150 --> 00:22:15,950
in the most dangerous position.
352
00:22:17,950 --> 00:22:19,540
As for your position,
353
00:22:20,580 --> 00:22:21,230
I
354
00:22:22,820 --> 00:22:24,780
need to consider it too.
355
00:22:29,630 --> 00:22:31,710
I will follow your edict.
356
00:22:32,020 --> 00:22:35,060
I will appoint you
as the Secretariat Director.
357
00:22:36,020 --> 00:22:37,340
After my death,
358
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:39,580
help him grow up
359
00:22:40,340 --> 00:22:41,190
and help him stabilize
360
00:22:42,990 --> 00:22:44,910
the imperial power.
361
00:22:45,820 --> 00:22:46,580
Your Majesty,
362
00:22:48,150 --> 00:22:49,990
I actually...
363
00:22:53,470 --> 00:22:54,780
Accept it.
364
00:22:55,580 --> 00:22:56,740
Old man,
365
00:22:57,470 --> 00:23:00,150
continue your loyalty to him
366
00:23:02,020 --> 00:23:03,670
as yours to me.
367
00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:21,430
I am grateful
368
00:23:22,910 --> 00:23:25,020
for your grace.
369
00:23:27,060 --> 00:23:28,740
The higher the position,
the harsher it gets.
370
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:31,190
If I, as the Secretariat Director,
371
00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:33,820
fail to protect the young emperor
372
00:23:33,910 --> 00:23:35,630
and lead to a change in the throne,
373
00:23:36,340 --> 00:23:38,500
it will bring disaster upon us.
374
00:23:39,500 --> 00:23:41,100
If one becomes too domineering
375
00:23:41,300 --> 00:23:42,780
and makes the monarch wary,
376
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:46,300
they will eventually have no place
to bury themselves.
377
00:23:47,340 --> 00:23:51,060
So after the emperor
could handle state affairs himself,
378
00:23:51,470 --> 00:23:54,260
I deliberately loosened my grip
379
00:23:54,870 --> 00:23:59,260
and transferred power
to Li Zhongnan and others.
380
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:01,300
We target each other,
381
00:24:01,820 --> 00:24:03,230
but also cover for each other.
382
00:24:03,470 --> 00:24:05,470
It is all to stand firm and safely
383
00:24:05,470 --> 00:24:07,540
in this capital.
384
00:24:12,990 --> 00:24:14,710
I'm not blind
385
00:24:15,340 --> 00:24:19,390
to what's happening in the family.
386
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:24,470
I just lack the ability
387
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:25,820
and time to manage it.
388
00:24:27,020 --> 00:24:28,060
Leaving that aside,
389
00:24:29,020 --> 00:24:31,540
even these younger generations at home,
390
00:24:32,300 --> 00:24:33,540
with their losses
391
00:24:34,100 --> 00:24:35,340
and injuries,
392
00:24:38,100 --> 00:24:40,670
are ultimately my fault.
393
00:24:42,740 --> 00:24:44,390
As long as you can understand that,
it's fine.
394
00:24:45,540 --> 00:24:46,230
However,
395
00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:49,910
you suddenly bring up the matters
of the court with me.
396
00:24:50,540 --> 00:24:52,870
Does Lord Cheng return to the capital
397
00:24:54,430 --> 00:24:55,540
with ill intentions?
398
00:25:04,780 --> 00:25:05,630
What would you do
399
00:25:07,150 --> 00:25:08,100
if
400
00:25:09,470 --> 00:25:10,540
he rebelled?
401
00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:13,870
I have long made a choice.
402
00:25:16,630 --> 00:25:19,060
The late emperor entrusted me
with his legacy.
403
00:25:19,870 --> 00:25:21,870
I won't let him down.
404
00:25:23,150 --> 00:25:25,990
My visit today
405
00:25:25,990 --> 00:25:27,870
is to let you prepare in advance.
406
00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:29,260
In case
407
00:25:35,710 --> 00:25:38,950
I am unable to withdraw from this.
408
00:25:39,780 --> 00:25:44,710
Please take care
of the Jiang family for me.
409
00:25:49,390 --> 00:25:50,820
With me here,
410
00:25:52,630 --> 00:25:53,540
you can rest assured.
411
00:25:56,100 --> 00:25:56,950
You've suffered
412
00:25:58,670 --> 00:25:59,670
over the years.
413
00:26:02,780 --> 00:26:05,060
Seeing you like this now,
414
00:26:06,260 --> 00:26:07,870
I am reminded of someone.
415
00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:09,870
Who's that?
416
00:26:13,260 --> 00:26:14,740
My dear husband,
417
00:26:16,150 --> 00:26:20,020
your son
has finally inherited your spirit.
418
00:26:56,780 --> 00:26:57,870
Are you sure you heard it right?
419
00:26:58,340 --> 00:26:59,540
There's going to be a rebellion.
420
00:26:59,710 --> 00:27:00,990
How could I have misheard?
421
00:27:01,430 --> 00:27:01,990
So
422
00:27:02,740 --> 00:27:04,060
if Lord Cheng rebels,
423
00:27:04,500 --> 00:27:06,020
whose side should we be on?
424
00:27:06,910 --> 00:27:09,670
Lord Cheng's military achievements
in the northern regions are illustrious,
425
00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:12,670
and he commands a strong army.
426
00:27:12,870 --> 00:27:14,100
If a real conflict breaks out,
427
00:27:14,100 --> 00:27:15,820
His Majesty stands no chance.
428
00:27:16,470 --> 00:27:18,630
If His Majesty falls,
429
00:27:19,470 --> 00:27:22,190
the first to suffer
will be our Jiang family.
430
00:27:23,150 --> 00:27:23,870
No.
431
00:27:23,990 --> 00:27:24,780
Quickly pack up
432
00:27:24,870 --> 00:27:25,780
and go to your mother's house to hide.
433
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:27,500
Get rid of the Jiang family?
434
00:27:29,430 --> 00:27:30,060
Excuse me.
435
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:32,300
Start packing!
436
00:27:36,910 --> 00:27:37,630
Your Majesty,
437
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:40,020
Official Ye have arranged
all the preparations.
438
00:27:40,540 --> 00:27:42,340
Tomorrow, Your Majesty will only need
to rise from sleep
439
00:27:42,670 --> 00:27:44,870
and depart
from Taiji Hall at the hour of Yin.
440
00:27:45,300 --> 00:27:46,950
[Govern the People, Serve Heaven]
Perform sacrificial rites at Wu hour,
441
00:27:47,260 --> 00:27:48,260
review the troops at Wei hour,
442
00:27:48,740 --> 00:27:50,580
and return to the palace
for the banquet at the hour of Xu.
443
00:27:51,260 --> 00:27:52,060
Eunuch Su,
444
00:27:54,190 --> 00:27:55,340
how many years have you been with me?
445
00:27:55,630 --> 00:27:56,990
[Govern the People, Serve Heaven]
Since you ascended the throne,
446
00:27:57,910 --> 00:27:59,260
it's been over ten years.
447
00:27:59,580 --> 00:28:00,340
After tomorrow night,
448
00:28:01,540 --> 00:28:03,260
I will reward you handsomely
449
00:28:03,910 --> 00:28:04,870
if I'm still sitting in this chair.
450
00:28:05,220 --> 00:28:06,910
[Govern the People, Serve Heaven]
451
00:28:06,910 --> 00:28:09,950
I only wish
for Your Majesty's well-being and peace.
452
00:28:12,300 --> 00:28:13,540
Your Majesty, Consort Li...
453
00:28:13,540 --> 00:28:14,150
- Your Majesty.
- She...
454
00:28:16,060 --> 00:28:17,340
I insist on coming back.
455
00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:18,340
Eunuch Su, step back first.
456
00:28:20,060 --> 00:28:21,950
Your Majesty,
don't hide anything from me.
457
00:28:22,430 --> 00:28:24,820
Will Lord Cheng and others act tomorrow?
458
00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:27,540
Or else why would you
suddenly want me to leave the palace?
459
00:28:27,580 --> 00:28:28,430
That's not true.
460
00:28:28,950 --> 00:28:30,580
Listen to me. You go first.
461
00:28:30,740 --> 00:28:31,670
I won't leave.
462
00:28:32,060 --> 00:28:33,630
I won't feel at ease if you don't go.
463
00:28:34,300 --> 00:28:36,020
If even I am absent,
464
00:28:36,670 --> 00:28:38,630
won't Lord Cheng become suspicious?
465
00:28:39,230 --> 00:28:40,500
I must stay.
466
00:28:40,990 --> 00:28:42,020
Do you know
467
00:28:42,910 --> 00:28:45,950
what it means to stay
at tomorrow night's banquet?
468
00:28:46,260 --> 00:28:47,390
It's precisely because I know
469
00:28:48,150 --> 00:28:50,100
that I want to stay
by Your Majesty's side
470
00:28:50,390 --> 00:28:52,300
and face it together.
471
00:28:52,910 --> 00:28:53,780
I won't allow that.
472
00:28:54,710 --> 00:28:55,260
Your Majesty.
473
00:28:57,230 --> 00:29:00,500
Your Majesty,
if I fall into enemy hands,
474
00:29:01,020 --> 00:29:01,820
I would rather die
475
00:29:02,500 --> 00:29:03,820
than bring trouble to Your Majesty.
476
00:29:05,190 --> 00:29:05,990
[Govern the People, Serve Heaven]
My dear.
477
00:29:20,900 --> 00:29:27,220
[Govern the People, Serve Heaven]
478
00:29:28,500 --> 00:29:37,420
[Tomb of the Great Emperor Xiao]
479
00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:39,990
In the spring,
480
00:29:40,780 --> 00:29:42,340
with solemn ceremonies,
481
00:29:42,950 --> 00:29:45,500
we offer sacrifices and libations,
482
00:29:45,690 --> 00:29:47,670
respectfully presenting offerings
at the ancestral temple
483
00:29:48,230 --> 00:29:50,470
to express our admiration and longing.
484
00:29:50,950 --> 00:29:53,430
We pay our respects,
485
00:30:01,100 --> 00:30:04,390
perform ablution rituals,
offer incense, and honor the ancestors.
486
00:30:05,340 --> 00:30:07,540
Since Father passed this throne to me,
487
00:30:08,430 --> 00:30:09,340
at any time,
488
00:30:10,190 --> 00:30:11,870
I will not allow anyone
489
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:13,820
to snatch this position away.
490
00:30:14,100 --> 00:30:14,990
You old man,
491
00:30:15,500 --> 00:30:17,020
you must carefully watch
492
00:30:17,910 --> 00:30:20,670
who this world truly belongs to.
493
00:30:27,700 --> 00:30:29,420
[Tomb of the Great Emperor Xiao]
494
00:30:29,430 --> 00:30:31,230
It reads!
495
00:30:32,950 --> 00:30:35,780
Establishing the way of heaven,
called Yin and Yang.
496
00:30:36,150 --> 00:30:38,710
Establishing the way of earth,
called softness and firmness.
497
00:30:39,150 --> 00:30:42,020
The teachings of saints and sages,
venerating heaven and earth.
498
00:30:42,260 --> 00:30:45,100
A perpetual lamp in the long night.
499
00:30:45,470 --> 00:30:46,990
Achieving great unity under heaven.
500
00:30:51,190 --> 00:30:51,990
All of you, leave.
501
00:30:52,740 --> 00:30:53,390
Yes, Your Highness.
502
00:30:55,660 --> 00:30:57,540
[Late Emperor]
503
00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:02,710
Father.
504
00:31:05,820 --> 00:31:07,150
You've returned.
505
00:31:09,430 --> 00:31:10,430
I'm glad.
506
00:31:11,260 --> 00:31:12,500
Are you comforting me
507
00:31:13,260 --> 00:31:14,670
or comforting yourself?
508
00:31:15,580 --> 00:31:17,470
Do you know
what kind of days I experienced
509
00:31:18,390 --> 00:31:19,710
when you sent me as a hostage
to the Dai Country?
510
00:31:19,710 --> 00:31:20,990
Don't you know that?
511
00:31:21,820 --> 00:31:23,260
I live in a sheep pen every day,
512
00:31:23,630 --> 00:31:24,710
enduring humiliation,
513
00:31:25,390 --> 00:31:27,260
going hungry, barely clothed.
514
00:31:28,580 --> 00:31:29,390
Me?
515
00:31:30,260 --> 00:31:31,150
A princess?
516
00:31:32,630 --> 00:31:33,430
Father,
517
00:31:34,150 --> 00:31:35,670
I'm not even worthy
of being called a human.
518
00:31:36,870 --> 00:31:38,990
I'm just the dirt in the sheep pen.
519
00:31:39,910 --> 00:31:41,260
My dear Jing,
520
00:31:42,740 --> 00:31:44,230
you've suffered so much.
521
00:31:46,150 --> 00:31:47,820
Actually, I think of you all the time.
522
00:31:48,580 --> 00:31:50,540
I spent in the Dai Country.
523
00:31:51,710 --> 00:31:53,230
I fantasized every day that one day,
524
00:31:53,820 --> 00:31:56,230
you would come to the Dai Country
to take me home.
525
00:31:57,540 --> 00:31:58,870
I fantasized every day
526
00:31:59,670 --> 00:32:00,950
that you would love me,
cherish me, and hold me
527
00:32:00,950 --> 00:32:02,540
like you did when I was little.
528
00:32:06,060 --> 00:32:07,260
Your daughter has returned.
529
00:32:10,780 --> 00:32:12,740
The Eldest Princess Wanning has returned.
530
00:32:13,390 --> 00:32:14,340
I have
531
00:32:17,100 --> 00:32:18,340
let you down.
532
00:32:19,390 --> 00:32:22,340
Father, I also want to ask you this.
533
00:32:23,430 --> 00:32:24,990
Besides loving yourself
534
00:32:26,430 --> 00:32:27,580
and your son,
535
00:32:29,780 --> 00:32:31,060
have you ever loved me
for a day in your life?
536
00:32:31,060 --> 00:32:32,780
Jing, don't say anything anymore.
537
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:36,500
When they made such demands back then,
538
00:32:37,260 --> 00:32:40,300
they put me in a difficult situation.
539
00:32:42,230 --> 00:32:44,670
I had no choice.
540
00:32:45,060 --> 00:32:46,340
Father, I asked
541
00:32:47,910 --> 00:32:49,100
if you have ever loved me.
542
00:33:04,670 --> 00:33:05,470
Father,
543
00:33:07,470 --> 00:33:08,540
you should take your medicine.
544
00:33:18,390 --> 00:33:19,260
After taking the medicine,
545
00:33:20,190 --> 00:33:21,580
you will naturally recover.
546
00:33:34,990 --> 00:33:36,020
The pillow is dirty.
547
00:33:37,740 --> 00:33:38,670
Let me change it for you.
548
00:33:40,820 --> 00:33:41,300
Here.
549
00:33:41,430 --> 00:33:43,230
Jing. Please, Jing.
550
00:33:44,190 --> 00:33:44,820
Father.
551
00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:23,220
Father,
552
00:34:23,990 --> 00:34:25,500
you were the one who wronged me first.
553
00:34:26,180 --> 00:34:29,100
All of you owe me this.
554
00:34:48,390 --> 00:34:50,700
I heard that your northern army
is incredibly brave
555
00:34:50,950 --> 00:34:51,910
and renowned far and wide.
556
00:34:52,430 --> 00:34:54,350
The people welcomed you on your way
into the capital.
557
00:34:54,830 --> 00:34:56,030
With the northern army,
558
00:34:56,310 --> 00:34:57,180
our Great Yan can continue
for generations.
559
00:34:57,990 --> 00:34:59,100
Thanks to Your Majesty's protection.
560
00:34:59,580 --> 00:35:02,430
We're one, be it the northern army
or the Zhongyuan army.
561
00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:03,990
There is no distinction.
562
00:35:06,350 --> 00:35:07,790
Sheng, go back and rest for a while.
563
00:35:08,310 --> 00:35:09,990
Don't leave until you're not drunk
at the banquet tonight.
564
00:35:26,740 --> 00:35:27,790
Duke Su.
565
00:35:34,060 --> 00:35:35,510
It has been almost nine years
since we last met.
566
00:35:36,540 --> 00:35:38,060
I can't believe you're this tall now.
567
00:35:38,740 --> 00:35:40,470
I remember when I left the capital,
568
00:35:41,030 --> 00:35:42,100
you were only this tall.
569
00:35:42,510 --> 00:35:44,740
If your parents are still alive,
570
00:35:45,350 --> 00:35:47,030
they would feel comforted
571
00:35:47,910 --> 00:35:49,350
to see you now.
572
00:35:49,620 --> 00:35:51,060
My father had bad luck
573
00:35:51,470 --> 00:35:53,220
and couldn't survive on the battlefield.
574
00:35:54,510 --> 00:35:56,470
If he could see your achievements now,
575
00:35:57,060 --> 00:35:58,310
he would also be very pleased.
576
00:36:05,180 --> 00:36:07,350
I have to thank General Xiao.
577
00:36:08,310 --> 00:36:11,510
If he hadn't come to support
from the southern border back then,
578
00:36:12,350 --> 00:36:14,260
I wouldn't have been able to make amends
579
00:36:14,430 --> 00:36:15,390
and reclaim lost territory.
580
00:36:16,540 --> 00:36:17,580
It's a pity.
581
00:36:18,790 --> 00:36:20,310
He died with an arrow piercing his heart
582
00:36:21,180 --> 00:36:22,870
in the valley.
583
00:36:24,140 --> 00:36:25,430
I'm also
584
00:36:26,950 --> 00:36:28,310
deeply saddened by it.
585
00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:30,470
It's all old history.
586
00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:31,950
There's no need to bring it up.
587
00:36:32,350 --> 00:36:33,620
Master wouldn't listen to advice.
588
00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:36,060
I always said not to pursue
the defeated enemy relentlessly.
589
00:36:36,700 --> 00:36:38,390
He clearly had the chance to turn back.
590
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:41,470
But he insisted on going to the end.
591
00:36:42,830 --> 00:36:44,220
It's truly regrettable.
592
00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:47,700
I hope
593
00:36:48,870 --> 00:36:49,910
you won't repeat
594
00:36:49,910 --> 00:36:51,700
my master's mistakes.
595
00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:53,990
I don't like taking risks.
596
00:36:54,870 --> 00:36:57,030
Stability is the most important thing.
597
00:36:58,100 --> 00:36:59,740
Why fight with oneself?
598
00:36:59,790 --> 00:37:01,100
At the banquet,
599
00:37:01,660 --> 00:37:04,100
I will humbly seek advice
from you again.
600
00:37:04,870 --> 00:37:08,030
I hope to see you again later.
601
00:37:09,910 --> 00:37:10,580
Of course.
602
00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:31,830
Fate has never been kind to me
since I was young.
603
00:37:33,390 --> 00:37:36,140
As they say, surviving a great calamity
brings great fortune.
604
00:37:36,910 --> 00:37:38,390
I escaped death once before.
605
00:37:39,430 --> 00:37:41,030
If there's good fortune to come,
606
00:37:42,140 --> 00:37:45,030
please give that fortune to Xiao Heng.
607
00:37:53,420 --> 00:37:54,860
[Duke Su's Residence]
608
00:37:59,510 --> 00:38:00,830
I need some of you
to keep watch at the west court.
609
00:38:01,030 --> 00:38:02,100
The rest keep watch at the east court.
610
00:38:02,260 --> 00:38:02,830
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
611
00:38:06,510 --> 00:38:07,580
Is something going to happen?
612
00:38:08,100 --> 00:38:09,350
Why is the residence heavily guarded?
613
00:38:09,950 --> 00:38:10,990
Mr. Xue, please rest assured.
614
00:38:11,350 --> 00:38:12,470
It's just a regular drill
in the residence.
615
00:38:12,700 --> 00:38:13,510
It's about preventing problems
before they occur.
616
00:38:20,060 --> 00:38:21,180
Are my sister and the others doing well?
617
00:38:23,060 --> 00:38:23,870
Don't keep it from me.
618
00:38:24,620 --> 00:38:26,060
With your actions, you can't fool me.
619
00:38:26,390 --> 00:38:27,870
You only need to stay in the residence.
620
00:38:28,350 --> 00:38:29,910
We have made the arrangements
regarding Miss Xue.
621
00:38:30,350 --> 00:38:31,870
There are secret guards both inside
and outside the residence
622
00:38:32,260 --> 00:38:33,580
to ensure nothing unexpected happens.
623
00:38:34,830 --> 00:38:35,310
Move out!
624
00:38:42,310 --> 00:38:43,390
I'll be counting on you tonight.
625
00:38:43,950 --> 00:38:44,660
Don't worry.
626
00:38:45,310 --> 00:38:46,470
Duke Su has everything arranged.
627
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:48,350
The secret guards will keep watch
outside the Jiang's Residence.
628
00:39:02,870 --> 00:39:03,390
Master.
629
00:39:03,830 --> 00:39:05,220
I was just looking for you. Zhao Ke.
630
00:39:05,660 --> 00:39:07,140
I was away from home
for a few days, right?
631
00:39:07,310 --> 00:39:09,060
No one took care of the plants
in the garden.
632
00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:11,180
I noticed one of the plants having
some issues earlier.
633
00:39:11,510 --> 00:39:12,430
Can you go over and take a look?
634
00:39:13,790 --> 00:39:17,260
Old Madam called for me
because she needed something.
635
00:39:17,870 --> 00:39:20,060
I can't get you
to help me right now, can I?
636
00:39:23,510 --> 00:39:24,220
I'll go with you.
637
00:39:24,830 --> 00:39:25,870
Look at this.
638
00:39:26,310 --> 00:39:28,140
How can this perfectly good plant
look so wilted?
639
00:39:28,220 --> 00:39:29,140
It's such a shame.
640
00:39:29,260 --> 00:39:31,470
This is the only memory
my mother left for me.
641
00:39:31,660 --> 00:39:32,950
You must help me save it.
642
00:39:37,030 --> 00:39:38,510
I think I smell something rotten.
643
00:39:39,060 --> 00:39:40,220
Are the roots decaying inside?
644
00:39:40,660 --> 00:39:41,220
Take a sniff.
645
00:39:41,790 --> 00:39:42,660
Based on its appearance,
646
00:39:42,870 --> 00:39:45,180
it's probably been exposed
to the sun for too long.
647
00:39:45,430 --> 00:39:46,660
I'll move it to a shady spot,
648
00:39:46,790 --> 00:39:48,470
water it regularly,
and add some fertilizer.
649
00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:50,620
It should revive after a few days.
650
00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:51,910
No, that's not it.
651
00:39:52,260 --> 00:39:53,390
It must be the roots rotting.
652
00:39:53,540 --> 00:39:54,430
Come closer and smell.
653
00:39:54,430 --> 00:39:55,510
Come over and smell.
654
00:39:56,180 --> 00:39:58,620
Sir, Old Madam is still waiting for me.
655
00:39:58,950 --> 00:40:00,470
I need to take leave now.
656
00:40:03,700 --> 00:40:04,310
Zhao Ke!
657
00:40:37,990 --> 00:40:39,830
My Lady, a letter
from the Duke's Residence.
658
00:40:48,380 --> 00:40:49,830
[Something important to discuss.
Make haste to the Duke's Residence.]
659
00:40:49,830 --> 00:40:51,870
My Lady, could something have happened?
660
00:40:52,580 --> 00:40:54,260
The Duke asked me to come
to his residence urgently.
661
00:40:55,540 --> 00:40:56,700
He said there's something important
to discuss.
662
00:40:58,030 --> 00:40:59,350
Why is he asking
to see you at this time?
663
00:41:00,390 --> 00:41:02,430
Maybe you should go tomorrow instead.
664
00:41:02,910 --> 00:41:03,910
At a critical moment like this,
665
00:41:04,540 --> 00:41:05,870
he must have urgent matters
666
00:41:05,870 --> 00:41:06,660
to share with me.
667
00:41:09,180 --> 00:41:11,580
Bai Xue, leave for now.
668
00:41:11,950 --> 00:41:12,510
Yes, My Lady.
669
00:41:28,990 --> 00:41:30,220
Accompany me to the Duke's Residence.
670
00:41:31,350 --> 00:41:31,790
Yes.
671
00:42:28,510 --> 00:42:30,620
I wonder if this is
about my father or Zhao.
672
00:42:36,140 --> 00:42:38,140
Zhao Ke, how long until we arrive?
673
00:42:38,540 --> 00:42:40,140
My Lady, we'll arrive in a quarter-hour.
674
00:42:45,030 --> 00:42:46,140
Second Lady Jiang?
675
00:42:46,620 --> 00:42:47,910
My Lady, do you have any instructions?
676
00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:49,260
My Lady.
677
00:42:58,540 --> 00:42:59,830
Could it be this Zhao Ke...
678
00:43:02,510 --> 00:43:03,140
Zhao Ke,
679
00:43:04,620 --> 00:43:07,260
you usually deliver letters
from the Duke's Residence.
680
00:43:08,030 --> 00:43:09,260
Why did you give one to Bai Xue today?
681
00:43:09,790 --> 00:43:11,540
I was helping tidy the garden
in the afternoon.
682
00:43:12,060 --> 00:43:13,950
Maybe the messenger couldn't find me.
683
00:43:16,430 --> 00:43:17,470
He's indeed suspicious.
684
00:43:19,870 --> 00:43:20,470
Stop the carriage.
685
00:43:28,950 --> 00:43:29,580
Watch your steps.
686
00:43:34,100 --> 00:43:36,060
Zhao Ke, wait here.
687
00:43:36,430 --> 00:43:37,220
I need to buy something.
688
00:43:41,180 --> 00:43:43,390
It looks like you've figured me out.
689
00:43:46,910 --> 00:43:48,470
Let me go! Help!
690
00:43:49,030 --> 00:43:49,660
Help!
691
00:43:52,990 --> 00:43:53,950
Help!
692
00:43:56,030 --> 00:43:56,660
Let me go!
693
00:43:58,310 --> 00:43:58,830
Let me go!
694
00:45:02,100 --> 00:45:05,540
How does it feel
to relive your past experience?
695
00:45:06,870 --> 00:45:07,620
Who was he?
696
00:45:19,180 --> 00:45:20,790
Nobody has been able
697
00:45:20,790 --> 00:45:22,350
to see through his skills
in mimicking voices and disguising.
698
00:45:24,060 --> 00:45:25,100
But you
699
00:45:27,740 --> 00:45:28,990
are pretty impressive.
700
00:45:32,430 --> 00:45:33,740
What do you want by catching me?
701
00:45:35,540 --> 00:45:36,540
Of course, I need to settle the scores
of your plan
702
00:45:36,540 --> 00:45:38,140
about faking my pregnancy.
703
00:45:39,260 --> 00:45:41,660
But I can wait until Xiao Heng arrives.
704
00:45:43,100 --> 00:45:46,220
So he can watch your end with me.
705
00:45:47,260 --> 00:45:47,950
What do you think?
706
00:45:48,660 --> 00:45:50,220
He even handed over the Longwu Army.
707
00:45:51,660 --> 00:45:53,220
He's no longer a threat
to all of you anymore.
708
00:45:53,990 --> 00:45:55,660
Why are you still not letting him go?
709
00:45:56,510 --> 00:45:58,140
You're in a perilous situation yourself.
710
00:45:59,180 --> 00:46:00,470
Yet, you're still worried about him.
711
00:46:01,870 --> 00:46:03,100
Your genuine emotions
712
00:46:03,620 --> 00:46:06,100
really make one want to shed tears.
713
00:46:07,660 --> 00:46:09,310
Do you know
what it's like to lose a child?
714
00:46:09,580 --> 00:46:11,060
Do you know how painful it is
715
00:46:11,060 --> 00:46:12,470
to have one's hopes shattered?
716
00:46:15,430 --> 00:46:16,220
I don't know.
717
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:20,430
But I do know what it feels like
to be buried alive
718
00:46:20,830 --> 00:46:21,910
by someone I loved and trusted.
719
00:46:22,350 --> 00:46:23,220
Sometimes,
720
00:46:24,510 --> 00:46:26,910
I quite like you, Xue Fangfei.
721
00:46:28,060 --> 00:46:29,510
If it weren't for Shen Yurong,
722
00:46:30,180 --> 00:46:31,870
we could have been friends.
723
00:46:33,390 --> 00:46:34,950
I'll never be friends
724
00:46:35,740 --> 00:46:37,220
with someone as despicable as you.
725
00:46:38,910 --> 00:46:40,740
I know you're trying to provoke me.
726
00:46:41,430 --> 00:46:42,990
But before Xiao Heng arrives,
727
00:46:43,100 --> 00:46:44,870
I won't lay a finger on you.
728
00:46:45,140 --> 00:46:47,790
I only want to see both
of you suffer together.
729
00:46:48,950 --> 00:46:50,030
You call me despicable?
730
00:46:51,100 --> 00:46:52,510
If you were in my shoes,
731
00:46:53,220 --> 00:46:55,030
you might be even more ruthless.
732
00:46:56,140 --> 00:46:58,030
You and Shen Yurong
are truly a perfect match.
733
00:46:59,390 --> 00:47:01,790
You use the same excuses
