The liquor I sell...
18
00:01:44,371 --> 00:01:46,310
- Be careful!
- Is made by myself.
19
00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:47,590
Look at this one...
20
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:49,980
Which type is most suitable
for making medicinal wine?
21
00:01:49,980 --> 00:01:52,740
You should buy that at the pharmacy.
22
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:55,540
The lady who used poison
was attacked in my residence.
23
00:01:55,540 --> 00:01:57,310
- Inform all the secret guards.
- Yes.
24
00:01:57,310 --> 00:01:58,620

how are you doing?

00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:19,990
What happened?
30
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:21,460
I don't know what happened either.
31
00:03:21,460 --> 00:03:24,870
A lady named Jiuyue, and the guards of
Duke Su suddenly came to my residence.
32
00:03:24,870 --> 00:03:26,460
They claimed they were there
to treat Magistrate Xue's illness.
33
00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:30,790
Later, assassins appeared out of nowhere,
attempting to assassinate that lady.
34
00:03:30,790 --> 00:03:32,300
Everything happened too suddenly.
35
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:33,580
How is Magistrate Xue?
36
00:03:33,580 --> 00:03:34,910
We brought him here.
37
00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:39,270
Duke Su said it isn't safe recently,
so he'll be settled in his residence.
38
00:03:40,670 --> 00:03:42,140
Are they hurt?
39
00:03:42,140 --> 00:03:44,910
What about you? Are you okay?
40
00:03:44,910 --> 00:03:49,700
I'm fine, but that lady named Jiuyue
seems to be injured severely.
41
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:51,430
I'll check on her first.
42
00:04:00,070 --> 00:04:01,620
Duke Su,
43
00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:04,060
are you hurt?
44
00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:05,580
I'm fine.
45
00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:09,220
How is Jiuyue?
46
00:04:09,220 --> 00:04:13,740
She is safe and is currently unconscious.
She'll be fine after resting for a few days.
47
00:04:30,590 --> 00:04:32,340
Jiuyue is the princess of Zhao.
48
00:04:32,340 --> 00:04:33,950
Zhao's envoy is arriving soon.
49
00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:36,860
She is the key figure in our alliance
with Zhao.
50
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:38,590
Everyone has set their sights on her.
51
00:04:38,590 --> 00:04:41,780
That's why I need to make sure she's safe.
52
00:04:41,780 --> 00:04:45,660
So, someone doesn't want
Zhao and Yan to form an alliance.
53
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:47,070
Yes.
54
00:04:48,510 --> 00:04:54,590
When Jiuyue was treating Magistrate Xue,
others got the chance to take action.
55
00:04:54,590 --> 00:04:58,150
If she doesn't recover, I won't be at ease.
56
00:04:58,150 --> 00:05:00,270
When she gets better, I'll visit her every day.
57
00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:02,190
- Really?
- What?
58
00:05:02,190 --> 00:05:05,900
You said you'll visit my place every day.

No.

- No...
- Are you sure?
67
00:05:25,150 --> 00:05:27,220
Look up.

- No.
- Think again.

- No.
- My Lord,

The city is heavily guarded.
He won't be able to escape.

With the Eldest Princess
still under house arrest,
79
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:51,100
it seems his only hiding place left
is Li's Residence.
80
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:54,630
They certainly wouldn't be so foolish
to hide someone in their home.
81
00:05:54,630 --> 00:05:56,980
We only need to alert them.
82

Isn't he here yet?
85

Mr. Shen, Mr. Du's grandmother
in Wuzhou has fallen ill.
86

He rushed back last night.
87

Before leaving, he wrote a letter to explain
the situation, and asked me to give it to you.

Since the people I appointed are useless,
I'll take volunteers.

Who among you is willing to join
Second Lady Jiang in impressing His Majesty?
90

Before going home today, if no one volunteers,
I'll nominate based on talent and knowledge.

Whoever wants to go can go.
I'm not going anyway.
95
00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:08,590
Mr. Du got so scared
that he escaped the capital.
96
00:07:08,590 --> 00:07:13,070
Except for Mr. Zhao, our talent
and knowledge aren't up to par.

When it comes to scholarly abilities,
I'm not good enough either.

Who is Jiang Li?
99
00:07:18,460 --> 00:07:19,780
She won first place in the Entry Exam.
100

A heroine who dares to lead the people
to bring a complaint to His Majesty.
101
00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:23,510
Considering talent, knowledge, and courage,
102
00:07:23,510 --> 00:07:27,030
only Mr. Shen is worthy of her
in the entire Hanlin Academy.
103
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:29,630
Yes. Why won't Mr. Shen participate?
104

He knows we dare not perform with Jiang Li.
105

00:07:34,590 --> 00:07:37,510
Could it be...?

Didn't you hear?
108
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:46,100
Jiang Li looks exactly like
Mr. Shen's deceased wife.
109
00:07:48,510 --> 00:07:51,630
Did Mr. Shen fall in love with Jiang Li?
110
00:07:51,630 --> 00:07:53,710
Perhaps he has fallen for her already.
111
00:07:53,710 --> 00:07:56,590
If he has nothing to hide,
why does he need to stay away from her?
112
00:07:56,590 --> 00:07:58,030
That makes sense.
113
00:07:58,030 --> 00:08:00,340
- Yes.
- That's right.

You prepared all this.
125

What kind of hard and tiring work
do you want me to do?
126
00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:48,510
It isn't hard or tiring.
127
00:08:48,510 --> 00:08:51,470
It just requires some acting skills.
128
00:08:51,470 --> 00:08:52,510
Act as what?
129
00:08:52,510 --> 00:08:56,060
To perform at the alliance banquet,
and bring glory to the Jiang family,
130
00:08:56,060 --> 00:08:58,180
I've put in a lot of effort.

Wrap things up?

Mr. Shen and I will quit and withdraw
from taking part in the reception.
134
00:09:04,350 --> 00:09:06,870
You're performing and quitting?
135
00:09:06,870 --> 00:09:08,900
This is confusing.
136
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:11,660
This is called retreat in order to advance.
137
00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:15,990
If I back out, Mr. Shen will ask someone
from the Jiang family about the situation.
138
00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:17,420
He might even serve as a mediator.
139
00:09:17,420 --> 00:09:20,780
That person from the Jiang family is me?
140
00:09:20,780 --> 00:09:21,990
After that?
141
00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:27,460
Use your eloquence to make him
come to Jiang's Residence to see me.
142
00:09:28,870 --> 00:09:30,510
- That's it?
- Yes.
143
00:09:30,510 --> 00:09:34,350
So, you're asking me to act as myself?
144
00:09:34,350 --> 00:09:38,150
Don't think that Mr. Shen will come to
Jiang's Residence just because you want him to.
145
00:09:38,150 --> 00:09:39,630
Oh, Jiang Li.
146
00:09:39,630 --> 00:09:41,780
I have to admire your insight.
147
00:09:41,780 --> 00:09:46,700
If you ask Liu Xu or Ye Shijie for help,
they will surely fail to do it.

But you came to me.
149
00:09:48,420 --> 00:09:51,900
It's as if fate has opened a new path for you.
150
00:09:51,900 --> 00:09:54,390
Well, it seems like fate
has been kind to you as well.
151
00:09:54,390 --> 00:09:56,910
How dare you say that? Aren't you afraid
of getting struck by lightning?
152
00:09:58,420 --> 00:10:01,230
But I've thought it over.
153
00:10:01,230 --> 00:10:05,380
Why would someone like Duke Su
love watching you putting on an act?

00:10:07,270 --> 00:10:12,660
You have an idea to head east,
but tell everyone you're heading west.

Even though your stories are poorly written,
156
00:10:15,510 --> 00:10:19,940
they somehow make people
want to keep watching.
157
00:10:19,940 --> 00:10:22,900
I want to know what your idea
of heading east is.
158
00:10:22,900 --> 00:10:26,110
This is what they call suspense.
159

You see through it but don't point it out.
You'll get more delicious food in the future.

00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:21,050
Thank you, Mr. Shen.
177
00:11:21,050 --> 00:11:22,480
You may get back to work.
178
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:32,080
So, how...?
179
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,290
I...
180
00:11:38,010 --> 00:11:39,360
Jingrui.
181
00:11:42,290 --> 00:11:44,170
You are close to Liu Xu and Jiang Li.
182
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:47,170
Do you know about her quitting?
183
00:11:47,170 --> 00:11:49,570
- Yes.
- What happened?
184
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:56,560
Should we talk in private?
185
00:11:56,560 --> 00:12:00,370
It's because of the collaborative performance
with the Hanlin scholars.
186
00:12:00,370 --> 00:12:04,050
No one wanted to perform with her,
so she fell ill.
187
00:12:04,050 --> 00:12:05,600
That's debatable.
188
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,050
Did she fall ill because of this?
189
00:12:07,050 --> 00:12:09,960
Do you know what people
are saying about Jiang Li?
190
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,320
They say she has a face
just like your deceased wife's,
191
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,440
so she's trying hard to get close to you.
192
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,170
To avoid arousing suspicion,
Mr. Shen is avoiding her.
193
00:12:18,170 --> 00:12:20,370
Who said that? Nonsense!
194
00:12:20,370 --> 00:12:22,720
Mr. Shen, your reputation is well-established,
so you're not afraid.
195
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,680
However, for a young lady
who is not yet married,
196
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:27,250
such rumors can be as sharp as a knife.
197
00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:30,240
If I were Jiang Li, I would
rather just die and be done with it.
198
00:12:31,410 --> 00:12:37,560
As her family and friend, you should advise her
to not pay attention to the filthy gossip.
199
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:39,440
You overestimated me.
200
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,680
I wouldn't know how to advise a lady.
201
00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:42,680
I'm at a loss too.
202
00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:44,840
Otherwise, I wouldn't be anxious.
203
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:51,050
If the reception of the delegation is delayed,
the blame will fall on the Jiang family.
204
00:12:51,050 --> 00:12:52,410
What should we do?
205
00:12:52,410 --> 00:12:54,290
Uncle is still traveling.
206
00:12:54,290 --> 00:12:56,960
Aunt is not in her right mind,
and Grandmother is elderly.
207
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,570
No one in our family can persuade her.
208
00:13:01,650 --> 00:13:07,370
But I often hear Jiang Li
speak highly of you, Mr. Shen.
209
00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:10,600
Perhaps you could help
talk some sense into her?
210
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,050
Yes.
211
00:13:15,530 --> 00:13:20,330
Mr. Shen, whoever started the trouble
should end it.
212
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,370
Second Lady Jiang is feeling upset.
She doesn't want to see anyone.
213
00:13:35,370 --> 00:13:37,200
I know she's annoyed at me.
214
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,650
I won't come in. I won't.
215
00:13:39,650 --> 00:13:43,690
Baixue, please bring Mr. Shen in.
216
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,690
This...
217
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,760
- is inappropriate.
- Mr. Shen...
218
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,490
saving a life is a good deed.
219
00:13:55,490 --> 00:13:57,880
As her cousin, I really...
220
00:14:00,290 --> 00:14:02,290
need you to help her.
221
00:14:11,610 --> 00:14:14,610
[Fangfei Garden]
222
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,570
Mr. Shen.
223
00:14:36,130 --> 00:14:37,520
Have a seat.
224
00:14:45,370 --> 00:14:47,770
I've heard from your cousin about the rumors.
225
00:14:47,770 --> 00:14:49,680
I will investigate
and find out who started them.
226
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,680
It's just that the Zhao delegation
is about to arrive,
227
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,050
and the alliance with Zhao
is very important to His Majesty.
228
00:14:54,050 --> 00:14:58,410
I hope you won't be influenced by rumors.
229
00:14:58,410 --> 00:15:02,480
Otherwise, if His Majesty pursues it,
it could implicate your family.
230
00:15:06,890 --> 00:15:11,560
Mr. Shen, enough of such high-flown rhetoric.
231
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,840
Do you truly not know
where the rumors originated from?
232
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:20,010
After you ignored my application, you
first sent me to the Music Affairs Division,
233
00:15:20,010 --> 00:15:22,370
and then you fired me before His Majesty.
234
00:15:22,370 --> 00:15:25,010
Even though I had the opportunity
to perform with the Hanlin scholars,
235
00:15:25,010 --> 00:15:28,290
you kept asking them to brush me off,
humiliating me.
236
00:15:28,290 --> 00:15:32,840
If I didn't resemble your deceased wife,
would you still treat me this way?
237
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,010
Second Lady Jiang,
this has nothing to do with your looks.
238
00:15:36,010 --> 00:15:43,360
If that's the case,
why don't we perform together?
239
00:15:46,050 --> 00:15:47,250
What did you say?
240
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:51,090
The best way to dispel rumors
is to confront them directly.
241
00:15:52,010 --> 00:15:55,840
If, as you say,
it has nothing to do with my appearance,
242
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,920
then our performance together
would be the best proof.
243
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,250
It'd prove that you can distinguish
between Jiang Li and your deceased wife,
244
00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:04,650
prove that you weren't deliberately
avoiding me,
245
00:16:04,650 --> 00:16:07,290
and prove that we have a clear conscience.
246
00:16:10,370 --> 00:16:13,290
Mr. Shen, you're indeed scared.
247
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:26,120
I wonder
if you love or hate your deceased wife.
248
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,440
I suppose it must be hatred.
249
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,840
Because I resemble her,
250
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,050
you've projected your resentment
toward your deceased wife onto me,
251
00:16:34,050 --> 00:16:36,530
targeting me and avoiding me
in any possible way.
252
00:16:36,530 --> 00:16:39,920
You two weren't the
loving couple as people say.
253
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,200
You hate her.
254
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,880
Stop it!
255
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,720
I'm sorry, Mr. Shen.
256
00:16:57,410 --> 00:17:01,920
I must've been deeply hurt by the rumors
to ask such questions.
257
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,850
I have crossed the line.
258
00:17:08,050 --> 00:17:09,730
I'm going back to my room.
259
00:17:18,010 --> 00:17:19,640
I love her.
260
00:17:32,120 --> 00:17:34,290
Mr. Shen, what was that?
261
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,330
I love her.
262
00:17:38,330 --> 00:17:42,490
♫ The magpie guides me to my fate ♫
263
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:48,560
I'm sure your deceased wife
would be very happy to hear that.
264
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,120
From now on, come to the
Hanlin Academy daily at Shen hour.
265
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,570
I'll perform with you.
266
00:17:56,730 --> 00:18:00,770
♫ I turn back to look at your smile ♫
267
00:18:00,770 --> 00:18:05,330
♫ Knowing my loss is not trivial ♫
268
00:18:07,890 --> 00:18:16,250
♫ How fickle fate can be ♫
269
00:18:21,530 --> 00:18:22,880
Have you hidden Chu Ian well?
270
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,050
Father, don't worry. I've arranged for him
to stay at the Capital Security Office.
271
00:18:26,050 --> 00:18:30,080
The security is tight there,
so even Xiao Heng's people can't get in.
272
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,560
Yuan Jiang, the Commissioner
of the Capital Security Office.
273
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,320
It took me considerable effort to win him over.
274
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,560
Don't mess things up for me.
275
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,930
Don't worry, Father.
276
00:18:39,930 --> 00:18:41,450
Yuan Jiang has only
recently pledged allegiance.
277
00:18:41,450 --> 00:18:45,490
This situation is precisely the opportunity,
for me to test their loyalty to you.
278
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,200
Jin, be extra careful.
279
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,880
Yes.
280
00:19:05,290 --> 00:19:06,210
Are you alright?
281
00:19:06,210 --> 00:19:09,050
Your eyes are affectionate
when you look at him.
282
00:19:09,050 --> 00:19:11,120
He isn't the person I love.
283
00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:13,050
I don't do romance.
284
00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:15,600
It's up to you
whether you want to save me or not.
285
00:19:24,010 --> 00:19:25,920
Two liars.
286
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:30,730
Two liars?
287
00:19:30,730 --> 00:19:31,970
What does that mean?
288
00:19:31,970 --> 00:19:33,570
Ignore her.
289
00:19:35,770 --> 00:19:37,210
What are you holding?
290
00:19:37,210 --> 00:19:40,400
This is chrysanthemum tea I brewed myself.
291
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,880
It clears heat.
292
00:19:42,930 --> 00:19:44,400
Wen Ji.
293
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,080
Brew some and deliver it to Jiuyue.
294
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,400
This isn't about pacifying her.
295
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,200
It's a jealousy issue.
296
00:19:53,290 --> 00:19:54,490
Go find Lu Ji.
297
00:19:54,490 --> 00:19:56,250
20 beatings, right?
298
00:19:56,250 --> 00:19:58,850
Even 200 beatings
won't alleviate this jealousy!
299
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,530
Have those who attempted
to assassinate Jiuyue been caught?
300
00:20:03,530 --> 00:20:05,050
We're on it.
301
00:20:05,050 --> 00:20:06,640
What about you?
302
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,450
Is everything going as planned?
303
00:20:08,450 --> 00:20:09,290
It's almost time for the finale.
304
00:20:09,290 --> 00:20:11,970
I heard you're going
to play the qin for Shen Yurong.
305
00:20:11,970 --> 00:20:14,160
Duke Su, I thought you didn't like to probe.
306
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,840
Why monitor my every step so closely then?
307
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,210
I don't even need to probe.
308
00:20:19,210 --> 00:20:22,320
Once I hear of it, it feels unsettling.
309
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,880
Then next time, I'll bring some mandarin peels.
310
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,930
What does that mean?
311
00:20:25,930 --> 00:20:27,530
To alleviate jealousy.
312
00:20:29,290 --> 00:20:32,360
You're actually planning
to perform together with Jiang Li?
313
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:34,730
What are you thinking?
Are you out of your mind?
314
00:20:34,730 --> 00:20:36,490
What if the Eldest Princess finds out?
315
00:20:36,490 --> 00:20:38,850
Do you want our family to die?
316
00:20:39,770 --> 00:20:43,810
Keeping the most dangerous person close
is the safest.
317
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,770
Son, are you still in love with Xue Fangfei?
318
00:20:50,770 --> 00:20:56,120
Don't forget that Jiang Li and Xue Fangfei
are enemies of the Eldest Princess.
319
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:58,840
If you don't distance yourself
and instead actively involve yourself,
320
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,490
how do you think
the Eldest Princess will perceive it?
321
00:21:00,490 --> 00:21:02,400
Mother, don't worry.
322
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,360
I know what I'm doing.
323
00:21:23,050 --> 00:21:24,570
Your Highness.
324
00:21:31,970 --> 00:21:33,840
Are they really rehearsing together?
325
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,440
These few days, they have been
rehearsing together at Hanlin Academy.
326
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,960
Do you want Mr. Shen to come over?
327
00:21:41,690 --> 00:21:43,560
No need.
328
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,050
Some words are better left unsaid.
329
00:21:46,690 --> 00:21:51,010
He needs to see it with his own eyes
to understand what he should not do.
330
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,800
Who is he?
331
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,640
- A servant of the Jiang family.
- Luckily, he was around.
332
00:24:10,970 --> 00:24:16,050
I thought you'd be curious
about who wanted to kill me first.
333
00:24:17,490 --> 00:24:19,480
The authorities will investigate thoroughly.
334
00:24:26,490 --> 00:24:28,730
He didn't stab hard,
and the injury isn't severe.
335
00:24:28,730 --> 00:24:30,120
Come with me.
336
00:24:30,120 --> 00:24:33,530
The Hanlin Academy was invaded.
I'll have someone escort you back.
337
00:24:37,890 --> 00:24:38,570
[Jiang's Residence]
338
00:24:38,570 --> 00:24:40,050
That person has exceptional qinggong.
339
00:24:40,050 --> 00:24:43,330
I went after him for several streets,
but still lost him.
340
00:24:43,330 --> 00:24:47,400
Do you think the assassin today
was sent by Shen Yurong?
341
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,530
It seems the assassin aimed to
strike Shen Yurong with a vicious blow.
342
00:24:51,530 --> 00:24:52,880
Had they not restrained their force in time,
343
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,290
it might have been fatal,
piercing through his chest.
344
00:24:56,290 --> 00:25:00,080
So it was Wanning's men.
345
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,160
What a pity.
346
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,730
That would be a great piece of evidence.
347
00:25:04,730 --> 00:25:07,050
So, this was your plan all along.
348
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,010
You...
349
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,800
Did you fly here?
350
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,440
Obviously.
351
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:24,320
Initially, you said you were getting close
to Shen Yurong to get something on him.
352
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:28,010
It looks like that's not all you want.
353
00:25:28,010 --> 00:25:30,250
You want to provoke Wanning.
354
00:25:30,250 --> 00:25:32,560
Shen Yurong's leverage is Wanning.
355
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,250
I told you not to get yourself involved in this
scheme. Did you not remember a single word?
356
00:25:39,490 --> 00:25:42,560
Zhao Ke is secretly protecting me.
357
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:48,160
I trust the man Duke Su sent will protect me.
358
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,160
Don't flatter me.
359
00:25:53,730 --> 00:25:57,810
If Zhao Ke couldn't stop the assassin today,
and if you...
360
00:26:00,010 --> 00:26:01,880
What would you do?
361
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:07,050
While getting involved directly may not be the
best strategy, given the current circumstances,
362
00:26:07,050 --> 00:26:09,400
I have no choice but to proceed this way.
363
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,970
I just didn't expect Wanning would
directly send someone to kill me.
364
00:26:12,970 --> 00:26:15,560
She ended up taking this step
because of this man.
365
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,840
Don't change the subject.
366
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,530
I don't care about Wanning.
367
00:26:18,530 --> 00:26:20,090
I know.
368
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,640
You care about me.
369
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,450
Rest assured, getting involved directly
will bring success this time.
370
00:26:28,450 --> 00:26:30,880
I promise I won't do it again in the future.
371
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,050
You're eloquent.
372
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,800
Then decline the joint performance
with Shen Yurong tomorrow.
373
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,290
- Shen Yurong took a stab for me today.
- Was that an act?
374
00:26:41,290 --> 00:26:42,640
- It was true.
- So?
375
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,440
So I'm thinking maybe I can
take a different approach.
376
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:53,360
Is this approach still going
to get yourself involved?
377
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:55,560
Not this time.
378
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,770
Duke Su, please trust me like how I trust you.
379
00:27:13,730 --> 00:27:18,560
Shen, you've grown up.
380
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,250
Not only did you take the stab for her,
381
00:27:21,250 --> 00:27:26,970
but after recognizing my man,
you also dared to protect her.
382
00:27:26,970 --> 00:27:29,600
Your Highness, if you kill someone
at the entrance of the Hanlin Academy,
383
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,010
tomorrow I, as the person in charge of editing,
will be taken away for questioning.
384
00:27:33,010 --> 00:27:36,210
Looks like it's my fault after all.
385
00:27:36,210 --> 00:27:41,290
I just want to remind you that if
you want to kill her again in the future,
386
00:27:41,290 --> 00:27:42,930
don't involve me.
387
00:27:42,930 --> 00:27:44,840
Why are you playing dumb?
388
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,010
Xiao Heng is by her side.
389
00:27:47,010 --> 00:27:50,730
As I miss this chance to end her
once and for all, there won't be another.
390
00:27:50,730 --> 00:27:55,120
In fact, you were the one who made me angry.
391
00:27:55,120 --> 00:27:59,730
Why didn't you inform me before
agreeing to perform a song with her?
392
00:27:59,730 --> 00:28:02,840
No one in Hanlin Academy
wants to perform with her.
393
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,120
This is a task entrusted to me by His Majesty.
394
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:08,400
If I don't handle it well,
I will definitely be punished.
395
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,050
With me around, who dares to punish you?
396
00:28:11,050 --> 00:28:12,490
This matter concerns state affairs.
397
00:28:12,490 --> 00:28:15,400
I don't want to be someone who relies on you.
398
00:28:16,690 --> 00:28:19,560
If I relied on you, you would despise me too.
399
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:24,050
Besides, I have moved on
and have a clear conscience.
400
00:28:24,050 --> 00:28:26,050
That's why I dare to perform with Jiang Li.
401
00:28:26,050 --> 00:28:28,880
Avoidance is a sign of a guilty conscience.
402
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,930
You have a way with words,
403
00:28:32,930 --> 00:28:39,160
but you better speak the truth,
or you know what I'm capable of.
404
00:28:42,930 --> 00:28:45,640
I dare not lie to you, Your Highness.
405
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:58,250
In that case, focus on your state affairs,
and let me see your clear conscience.
406
00:28:58,250 --> 00:29:03,120
When my house arrest ends,
I will go meet her properly.
407
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:13,290
A few days ago, the Hanlin Academy was
broken into by thieves. They were fugitives.
408
00:29:13,290 --> 00:29:15,970
Everyone should be cautious.
409
00:29:15,970 --> 00:29:18,690
Tomorrow is the day the Zhao delegation
enters the capital.
410
00:29:18,690 --> 00:29:21,730
It's a critical time,
so everyone must not slack off.
411
00:29:21,730 --> 00:29:23,080
Give your full effort.
412
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,450
Once everything goes smoothly, not only
will everyone receive rewards from His Majesty,
413
00:29:26,450 --> 00:29:31,010
but I'll also host a banquet at home to reward
everyone, and thank you all for your hard work.
414
00:29:31,010 --> 00:29:33,210
Thank you, Mr. Shen.
415
00:29:33,210 --> 00:29:34,290
Prepare yourselves accordingly.
416
00:29:34,290 --> 00:29:36,360
- We're going to be busy these few days.
- Yes, let's go.
417
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,850
With you.
418
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,690
Jiang Li, when everything ends, let's drink.
419
00:29:42,690 --> 00:29:44,880
Yes, we haven't gathered in ages.
420
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,530
- Sure.
- We'll take our leave now.
421
00:29:46,530 --> 00:29:47,990
There are still many things to do.
422
00:29:47,990 --> 00:29:49,571
- Go.
- Let's go.
423
00:29:49,571 --> 00:29:50,640
Okay.
424
00:29:51,250 --> 00:29:53,640
Jiang Li. Jiang Li.
425
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,400
Let me tell you,
these days have passed so quickly.
426
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,690
I haven't had enough yet.
427
00:30:02,690 --> 00:30:05,090
Why? You've become addicted to receiving gifts?
428
00:30:05,090 --> 00:30:07,400
She loves the things you gave us.
429
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,530
Lately, she's been smiling at me a lot more.
430
00:30:09,530 --> 00:30:12,680
But honestly, as long as I
receive the rewards accordingly,
431
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,440
I can continue to help you.
432
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:15,600
No problem.
433
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,640
Jiang Li.
434
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,890
- I'll take my leave now.
- Okay.
435
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,570
Shijie.
436
00:30:21,570 --> 00:30:24,440
I heard it was because no one at the
Hanlin Academy wanted to perform with you,
437
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,250
so you had to perform with Mr. Shen.
438
00:30:26,250 --> 00:30:29,970
But there seemed to be no conflict
between you and Zhao Qi.
439
00:30:29,970 --> 00:30:33,840
Mr. Shen's talent is unmatched
at the Hanlin Academy.
440
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,200
Performing with him is naturally the best.
441
00:30:37,770 --> 00:30:39,480
I'm going to rehearse now.
442
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,490
Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has
already prepared everything for welcoming
443
00:30:52,490 --> 00:30:53,730
the Zhao delegation.
444
00:30:53,730 --> 00:30:54,814
Today, the Chief Minister
of the Court of State Ceremonial
445
00:30:54,814 --> 00:30:56,640
will personally greet the delegation
to enter the city.
446
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,880
They will stay at the official guesthouse.
447
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,090
After resting and settling in, they will
enter the palace for the banquet.
448
00:31:01,090 --> 00:31:02,770
Thank you, Official Shen.
449
00:31:31,730 --> 00:31:33,290
Have you captured Chu Ian?
450
00:31:33,290 --> 00:31:34,770
We have basically narrowed it down
to the Capital Security Office.
451
00:31:34,770 --> 00:31:36,880
Capital Security Office?
452
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,600
Have they also sided with Li Zhongnan?
453
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,250
- What about the Zhao princess?
- She is now recuperating in my residence.
454
00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:45,640
We'll suffer a drawback if this goes on.
455
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,400
That's what I'm worried about too.
456
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,400
We're about to form an alliance,
and Jiuyue is severely injured.
457
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,600
With the assassin still at large,
Zhao is bound to doubt our sincerity.
458
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,680
If Lord Cheng, rises in rebellion someday,
it will be another variable.
459
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,290
Let's use this opportunity to get rid
of the Capital Security Office.
460
00:32:00,290 --> 00:32:03,160
How can I allow my city gates
to be controlled by Lord Cheng?
461
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:06,290
My secret guards alone cannot
get rid of the Capital Security Office.
462
00:32:06,290 --> 00:32:08,570
- What do you want?
- I want the Longwu Army.
463
00:32:08,570 --> 00:32:10,160
Longwu Army?
464
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,010
After training in secret for so long, do you
want people to know about them now?
465
00:32:17,010 --> 00:32:19,600
Since they have already set up the stage,
466
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,960
why don't we put on a good show
as a deliberate act to warn them?
467
00:32:29,050 --> 00:32:32,880
Remember, city defense is
crucial for the stability of the capital.
468
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,810
Please always remember your mission.
Do you understand?
469
00:32:35,810 --> 00:32:37,490
I'll complete the mission successfully.
470
00:32:37,490 --> 00:32:38,600
Good.
471
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,290
Grand Chancellor Li.
472
00:32:40,290 --> 00:32:43,090
How did you find the time to come
to the Capital Security Office, Duke Su?
473
00:32:43,090 --> 00:32:47,730
I received intelligence there is an assassin
from the northern border hiding here.
474
00:32:47,730 --> 00:32:49,920
Duke Su, do you have evidence?
475
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,400
Grand Chancellor Li,
my specialty lies in intelligence gathering.
476
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,400
The evidence is within
the Capital Security Office.
477
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,570
We'll see after I investigate.
[Yuan Jiang]
478
00:32:59,570 --> 00:33:01,000
Come!
479
00:33:07,090 --> 00:33:10,330
Duke Su, the Capital Security Office
is not a place to be messed with.
480
00:33:10,330 --> 00:33:14,890
Your display of power
might not work as effectively here.
481
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,290
By order of the Emperor,
Longwu Army is conducting a search
482
00:33:28,290 --> 00:33:30,600
of the Capital Security Office.
General Yuan, please open the gates.
483
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,810
If it is an imperial order,
where is the decree?
484
00:33:32,810 --> 00:33:34,640
General Yuan, you seem to be confused.
485
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,850
The Longwu Army has the privilege
to act first and report later.
486
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,160
Xiao Heng, the Capital Security Office's guards
protect the capital.
487
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,400
This place is of great importance.
Please bring the decree with you, Duke Su.
488
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,730
Search the place.
489
00:33:49,730 --> 00:33:53,090
Kill anyone who dares to stop you.
490
00:33:53,090 --> 00:33:55,160
- Search the place!
- Yes!
491
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,920
Grand Chancellor Li, you should stay away.
Weapons have no eyes.
492
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:06,880
They might accidentally
kill you first and report later.
493
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,320
Duke Su, have you considered the consequences?
494
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,640
When the flood arrives,
don't let the mice escape.
495
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,000
Yes.
496
00:34:47,930 --> 00:34:49,370
How dare you return?
497
00:34:49,370 --> 00:34:52,970
This time, you can't escape.
I brought my sidekick along.
498
00:34:52,970 --> 00:34:56,280
He is a ruthless and not talkative man, who
specializes in dealing with defeated enemies.
499
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,650
Get them!
500
00:35:20,530 --> 00:35:23,120
Lord Cheng's subordinate got away again.
501
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,450
The relationship between Chu Ian
and Lord Cheng is akin to yours with me.
502
00:35:26,450 --> 00:35:27,570
It won't be easy to catch him.
503
00:35:27,570 --> 00:35:31,890
We can take this opportunity to replace
everyone in the Capital Security Office.
504
00:35:31,890 --> 00:35:33,200
I didn't hold back yesterday.
505
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,690
Quite a number of people
have to recuperate at home.
506
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:42,480
Because of this incident,
many officials have accused you.
507
00:35:43,930 --> 00:35:45,530
Yuan Jiang privately harbored a fugitive
508
00:35:45,530 --> 00:35:48,320
and even allowed his subordinates
to release Chu Ian.
509
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,570
This accusation alone
is enough to silence them.
510
00:35:50,570 --> 00:35:53,600
He's quite clever. He found
a subordinate to take the blame
511
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,850
and resigned from his post in disgrace.
512
00:35:54,850 --> 00:35:56,160
Do you need me to interrogate him?
513
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,200
With foreign envoys in the capital, now is
not the time for us to handle internal cases.
514
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:00,720
Reclaiming control
of the Capital Security Office
515
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:02,930
has already neutralized
one of Lord Cheng's moves.
516
00:36:02,930 --> 00:36:06,770
We'll settle the scores with Yuan Jiang
and Li Zhongnan in due time.
517
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,720
- Father.
- Who leaked the news about Chu Ian
518
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:20,370
being in the Capital Security Office?
519
00:36:20,370 --> 00:36:21,530
I have no idea.
520
00:36:21,530 --> 00:36:23,410
The Capital Security Office is heavily guarded.
521
00:36:23,410 --> 00:36:26,050
Besides them,
only the three of us knew about this.
522
00:36:26,050 --> 00:36:28,010
Chu Ian couldn't have
leaked it himself, could he?
523
00:36:28,010 --> 00:36:31,640
- Father.
- If it wasn't him, then it must be one of us.
524
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,010
It's either me or you.
525
00:36:34,010 --> 00:36:35,480
Father.
526
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:38,890
It's Xiao Heng.
527
00:36:38,890 --> 00:36:40,450
I find it hard to swallow the fact
528
00:36:40,450 --> 00:36:42,240
that Xiao Heng repeatedly sabotaged
our major plans before.
529
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:43,930
Those in the Capital Security Office
are not to be underestimated.
530
00:36:43,930 --> 00:36:45,570
How many secret guards
could Xiao Heng possibly have?
531
00:36:45,570 --> 00:36:50,760
He wouldn't be Yuan Jiang's match, which was
why I used Chu Ian as bait to lure him over.
532
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,240
It also gave me a chance to test the
loyalty of the Capital Security Office.
533
00:36:54,240 --> 00:36:57,800
But I never expected
Xiao Heng would bring the Longwu Army.
534
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,490
Father, it's my negligence and my mistake.
535
00:37:00,490 --> 00:37:03,370
- Please punish me.
- Fool!
536
00:37:03,370 --> 00:37:04,120
Father.
537
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,200
Despite being a fool,
you took action on your own.
538
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,320
The intricate pawns I painstakingly laid out
539
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,090
were ruined by you before they could
even be put into use.
540
00:37:12,090 --> 00:37:18,170
Now that the Capital Security Office is
out of our control, how can we turn the tide?
541
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,410
Father, give me another chance.
542
00:37:22,410 --> 00:37:23,930
I won't fail this time.
543
00:37:23,930 --> 00:37:26,200
Incompetent fool.
544
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,210
You won't get another chance.
545
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,290

Welcome, Emperor of Zhao!

[Emperor of Zhao]
549
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,890
Welcome to our country, Emperor of Zhao.
550
00:38:14,890 --> 00:38:19,490
The Emperor of Yan has ordered Duke Su to
lead our officials and scholars to greet you.
551
00:38:19,490 --> 00:38:21,760
I am Xiao Heng, Duke Su of Yan.
552
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:22,930
Greetings, Your Majesty.
553
00:38:22,930 --> 00:38:26,680
Please rest in this guesthouse,
and enter the palace tomorrow.
554
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:31,290
The gracious hospitality of Yan's Emperor
is deeply appreciated.
555
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,850
Duke Su, is my sister inside?
556
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:38,600
Jiuyue!
557
00:38:43,490 --> 00:38:45,000
Brother!
558
00:38:48,890 --> 00:38:50,440
I'm here.
559
00:38:54,410 --> 00:38:57,560
I heard you got injured. Are you doing well?
560
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,160
Did they catch the culprit?
561
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,050
Who did this?
562
00:39:02,050 --> 00:39:05,760
Fortunately, with Duke Su's help, I'm fine.
563
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,680
Duke Su is still investigating the matter.
564
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,160
Don't blame him.
565
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,650
Since you trust Duke Su this much,
I won't pursue the matter.
566
00:39:15,930 --> 00:39:19,160
However, I must demand an explanation
from Duke Su in the future.
567
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,120
Of course.
568
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:22,130
This way, Your Majesty.

[Prosperous Era]
572
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,040
Your Majesty.
573
00:39:55,970 --> 00:39:57,240
Thank you, the Great Yan,
574
00:39:57,240 --> 00:40:02,530
for the meticulously prepared collection
of classics, and this splendid banquet.
575
00:40:02,530 --> 00:40:06,250
It has allowed us to
experience Yan's inclusive spirit.
576
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:09,770
I am especially grateful to Your Majesty
577
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,560
for helping me find my long-lost sister.
578
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:23,200
May Zhao and Yan establish everlasting
friendship, and form an enduring alliance.
579
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,480
Your reunion with the princess
is a fortunate event for both countries.
580
00:40:51,010 --> 00:40:55,610
Suddenly heard that immortals
had arrived in Penglai,
581
00:40:55,610 --> 00:41:00,240
I suspect it might be an old friend
descending from the heavens.
582
00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:05,240
At sunrise, memories of youth come
flooding back while riding on a boat.
583
00:41:05,240 --> 00:41:09,240
Through the night, longing ages the soul.

00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:17,320
Countless spring flowers accompany
the laughter of the wind.
586
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:22,370
Talking about good wine, we get drunk again.
587
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:28,010
Stars scattered across the sky,
tears flowing like tides.
588
00:41:28,010 --> 00:41:33,570
Who says the mortal world
is full of loneliness?
589
00:41:33,570 --> 00:41:41,800
With a cup drained,
mountains and rivers stretch endlessly.

[Prosperous Era]
591
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,010
Today, I will escort the Emperor
of Zhao and Jiuyue to the border.
592
00:43:38,010 --> 00:43:39,850
When will you be back?
593
00:43:41,570 --> 00:43:43,000
Not sure.
594
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:51,320
What do you think of the music
I played yesterday?
595
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,210
It was extremely unpleasant to listen to.
596
00:43:54,680 --> 00:44:00,360
I also feel it was the most unpleasant
performance I've ever delivered in my life.
597
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,160
Next time, I'll play a different piece
for you, okay?
598
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,250
I'll remember that.
599
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:10,160
Don't go back on your word.
600
00:44:11,450 --> 00:44:13,130
I won't.
601
00:44:13,130 --> 00:44:17,690
Duke Su, you should leave and return soon,
so I can repay my debt earlier.
602
00:44:20,050 --> 00:44:23,640
Before leaving,
I have a piece of advice for you.
603
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,490
What is it?
604
00:44:25,490 --> 00:44:29,490
Be it the previous life or the current,
just live to the fullest.
605
00:44:29,490 --> 00:44:34,440
Never compromise yourself to become
someone else just to please others,
