00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,960

Next time you encounter
something like this,
107
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,840
at least let me know in advance.
108
00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:48,400
Whether or not you have a plan,
109
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,080
it will give me some peace of mind.
110
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,160
You said I didn't consider
others' difficulties,
111
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:53,600
but you, on the other hand,
112
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,200
care too much
about others' difficulties.
113
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,800
I'll take it as a compliment,
Your Highness.
114
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,480
I'm going to apply
the ointment for you now.
115
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,040
I used to hear you say
116
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,480
that you didn't want
to be like your father
117
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,630
and that he spoiled your mother too much
118
00:06:20,630 --> 00:06:22,000
so she didn't understand anything.
119
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,360
If she can't learn to protect you,
120
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,360
why did she give birth to you?
121
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,720
Does she even deserve to be a mother,
122
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,960
leaving you to suffer out there
on your own?
123
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,680
Alright, I won't say any more.
124
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,760
Watching you act like this
125
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,400
is frustrating.
126
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:39,840
Yes.
127
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,120
It's me who made you frustrated.
128
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,440
Ms. Wen is your mother.
129
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,480
Whether she is weak or incompetent,
130
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:52,920
she must fight for you at least once.
131
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,160
You can't always think of others
132
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,480
and make yourself suffer.
133
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,160
If you want something,
you have to fight for it yourself.
134
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,360
Do you understand?
135
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,200
What if she's unwilling?
136
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,000
Then she can refuse.
137
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,840
Whether she wants it or not,
138
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,280
you have to give her a choice, right?
139
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,120
But I already know
140
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,240
which path is better for her.
141
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,080
Pei Wenxuan,
142
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,360
only the person involved
143
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,040
knows which path is better.
144
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:40,800
I will carefully consider
145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,720
your words.
146
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,920
If you can figure it out,
that would be best.
147
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:48,560
After all,
148
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,000
I can't protect you forever.
149
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,600
I'm fine, Ronghua.
150
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,320
Rongqing,
151
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,560
It seems I should take you out
for drinks more often.
152
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:11,080
You have been suppressing your emotions
153
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,120
and behaving yourself at home
for too long.
154
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,680
If it's what I experienced today,
155
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:20,960
then one time
156
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,600
is more than enough.
157
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:55,960
Why are you looking at me?
158
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,160
You are pretty.
159
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:02,920

160
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:08,240
Your Highness,
161
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,560
what kind of a person do you think I am?
162
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,880
What do you mean by that?
163
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,600
Never mind.
164
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,640
I guess you are tired.
165
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,880
You just want me to praise you, right?
166
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:31,640
No.
167
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,720
You learn everything so quickly.
168
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,440
I remember the first time
you did my eyebrows,
169
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,280
it was all crooked.
170
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,080
But within a month,
171
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,840
you even knew how to do makeup.
172
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,600
The first time you did my hair,
173
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,920
you pulled so hard which was so painful,
174
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,360
but after that,
175
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,600
there wasn't a hairstyle
you couldn't do.
176
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,680
If I'm good to you in any way,
177
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,520
you respond
with ten times the gratitude and joy.
178
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:03,720
To be honest...
179
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,720
whether as a husband, a friend,
180
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:11,960
or a family member...
181
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,280
if everyone were like me,
182
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,040
nonchalant about everything,
183
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,400
and letting everything go easily...
184
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,920
life would be a bit boring.
185
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,320
Anyway,
186
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,440
you're truly wonderful.
187
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,080
You just don't realize it yourself.
188
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,680
Now, I know.
189
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:41,320
What is it?
190
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,320
My back hurts.
191
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,800
What should we do then?
192
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:49,840
What are you doing?
193
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,560
Your back hurts...
194
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,600
It hurts. Don't move.
195
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,480
I don't want to let go anymore.

Your Majesty,
224
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,600
here are the memorials
for you to go through.
225
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,080
The ones on top are from the Pei Family
226
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:16,920
who accuses
227
00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:19,200
Her Highness of being overbearing
228
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,680
and the Inspectorate Office
of being unjust.
229
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Down below are the memorials
from the noble families
230
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,720
stating
231
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,960
that Her Highness
did not respect her parents-in-law.
232
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:30,600
They have also
233
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,790
[The Classic of Filial Piety]
sent a carved copy
234
00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:41,400
of the Classic of Filial Piety,
235
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,440
asking you to hand it over
to Her Highness.
236
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:49,200
They are kind of thoughtful.
237
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,680
Pingyue went to the Pei Family,
238
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,600
and now the entire Huajing
knows about it.
239
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,400
Your Highness.
240
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,160
Mr. Su.
241
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,400
Yesterday...
242
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,760
Yesterday, my brother and I left
right after we finished eating.
243
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,200
It was no big deal.
244
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,640
Don't worry.
245
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,920
Yesterday, I indeed
had an urgent matter come up.
246
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,200
I will treat you some other time.
247
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:30,960
Your Highness,
248
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:32,600
there's no need for that actually.
249
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,400
Given your sensitive status now,
250
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,840
it's best we limit our interactions
251
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,040
to avoid stirring up gossip
among the ministers.
252
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,280
When I agreed with my brother yesterday,
253
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,320
I didn't know you would also come.
254
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:48,680
So,
255
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,960
if I had known,
I wouldn't have agreed.
256
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:57,720
That's good then.
257
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,240
I won't keep you any longer.
258
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:05,320
I'll take my leave.
259
00:14:07,560 --> 00:14:08,440
Take care, Your Highness.
260
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,520
Your Highness,
261
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,360
I didn't mean what I said just now.
262
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,000
Everyone,
263
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,040
do you have any important matters
to report today?
264
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,080
Father,
265
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,640
you must seek justice for me.
266
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,280
What justice do you want me
to seek for you?
267
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,680
Tell me about it.
268
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,560
Yesterday,
269
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,880
Mr. Pei sent for my husband
to return to Pei's Mansion,
270
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:37,400
claiming that my mother-in-law
was seriously sick.
271
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,680
My husband rushed back in worry,
272
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,320
but as soon as he got there,
273
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,280
Mr. Pei's men beat him up.
274
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:46,200
Your Majesty,
275
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,480
what Her Highness said
is far from the truth.
276
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,960
Since the Prince Consort
married Her Highness,
277
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,080
he has never returned home
to visit his mother.
278
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,120
Lately, my sister-in-law has been unwell
279
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,760
and asked the Prince Consort
to come back many times,
280
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,400
but he ignored her every time.
281
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,440
Initially, we hoped to persuade Wenxuan
282
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,560
to return to the right path
283
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,800
and carry out his filial duties
to his mother.
284
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,600
But Wenxuan not only refused to listen
285
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,000
but also injured some servants.
286
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,000
He even threatened
that he had Her Highness's support
287
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,480
and no one could touch him.
288
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,080
Later, Her Highness led troops
to barge into our Mansion
289
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,560
and took the Prince Consort away.
290
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,880
Before leaving, she even broke
the arms of two servants.
291
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,280
Her Highness
is so overbearing and arrogant.
292
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,680
She disregards all propriety.
293
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,280
Yet now she's here, falsely accusing us
294
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,560
and sullying our Pei Family's name...
295
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,520
Insolence.
296
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,400
From what I can tell,
it was you who started it first.
297
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,760
May I ask, Mr. Pei,
298
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,600
according to the etiquettes
of our dynasty,
299
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,720
you should get the imperial family's
and Princess Pingyue's permission
300
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,600
before punishing the Prince Consort.
But did you do that?
301
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:43,480
Enough!
302
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,280
This is all just your family's affair,
303
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,360
yet you bring it
to the court and argue here.
304
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,960
What about the imperial family's
reputation?
305
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,480
You hit the Prince Consort
306
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,840
and then Pingyue saved him.
307
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:55,960
What more is there to argue about?
308
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:57,880
Your Majesty,
309
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,880
Her Highness has just established
the Inspectorate Office...
310
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:03,920
Are you done yet?
311
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,160
Regardless,
312
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,760
Pei Wenxuan is my son-in-law
313
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:07,960
and part of the imperial family.
314
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,840
Do not mention this again.
315
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,880
I have heard
that three administrative divisions
316
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,160
have been dry for a long time,
possibly leading to a severe drought.
317
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,280
Everyone, quickly devise a solution.
318
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,560
Rou,
319
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,040
is it really appropriate for us
320
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,840
to head out like this?
321
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:28,800
Madam,
322
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,080
First Young Master is in need \
of your support right now.
323
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,560
Please think it over.
324
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:33,920
Okay.
325
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,200
Let's go.
326
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,120
Your Highness.
327
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,160
Do you have no qualms
328
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,560
about lying so blatantly today?
329
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,680
That's the question I want to ask you.
330
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,320
Whether it's a lie or not,
331
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,560
a mother teaching her son
is a matter of course.
332
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,600
But it's inappropriate for you
333
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,960
to break into a minister's mansion.
334
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,120
Why didn't you say this
to my father earlier?
335
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,680
You didn't dare utter a word
in the hall just now
336
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:04,800
and now you're here to criticize me.
337
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:06,320
If you're so justified,
338
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,320
go ahead and tell my father.
339
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:08,640
Your Highness,
340
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,200
you're being too overbearing.
341
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,280
Go and complain about me then.
342
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,840
If you really can't stand it...
343
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,360
then hit me too.
344
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,520
Your Highness, you are...
345
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,120
I really like your how you look
346
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,080
when you all can't stand me
but can't do anything about it.
347
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,640
I won't dwell on this matter today
348
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,720
but mark my words...
349
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,400
you'll apologize to me someday.
350
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,640
You may all leave now.
351
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,520
I have a case to handle.
352
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,200
Your Highness.
353
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,640
The court of Great Xia
won't allow you to act so insolently
354
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,120
without facing the consequences.
355
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:57,400
I will go to the Imperial Study
to see His Majesty now.
356
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,240
If you are not severely punished today,
357
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,520
I will throw myself to death
at the Shoulong Pillar
358
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:02,600
to protest.
359
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,560
I'm going too.
360
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,240
Me too.
361
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,480
We all will go.
362
00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:08,960
Great,
363
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,600
I was planning to let it slide,
364
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,640
but you've all insisted
on challenging me.
365
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:15,920
The Imperial Study?
366
00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:16,840
Fine.

Your Majesty, I urge you
to punish her severely.

A princess who disregards the law
374

and acts overbearingly and recklessly
375

in the Inspection Department.

00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,640

They deceived their sister-in-law,

mistreated their late brother's son,

seized
their deceased brother's property,
381
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,280
and assaulted the Prince Consort,
thereby offending the sovereign.
382
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,560
Such shameless,

sirs,
392
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:21,080
His Majesty has said
393
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,520
that this is a family matter of yours.
394
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,000
So please, everyone,
return to your duties.
395
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,200
How can it be a family matter
when Her Highness
396
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,920
is the head of the Inspectorate Office?
397
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,480
If Your Majesty
doesn't seek justice for me today,
398
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,720
I will kneel here

400
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,000
Didn't you say you would end your life?
401
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480
Mr. Pei, you should stick to your word.
402
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:43,680
I'm not going to argue
with a woman like you.
403
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,400
You can't even win an argument
with a woman.
404
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,240
It seems you have no reason
on your side.
405
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,240
You might as well run headlong
into a pillar and save your reputation.
406
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,000

407

the princess,

About last night's incident,
426
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,240
you must be blaming me,
427

right?
428
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,000
Do you think your second uncle
wants to harm you
429
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,520
and treats you poorly?
430
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,640
Mother,
431
00:20:56,120 --> 00:20:57,320
it's not what I think.
432
00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,080
It's just the way things are.

00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,480
Could there be
any misunderstanding here?
434
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,360
Your second uncle told me...
435
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:06,240
Mother,
436
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,880
it's not so much what he said,
437
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,320
but what he did.
438
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,280
I've never dared to tell you this.
439
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,640
When Father passed away years ago,
440
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:23,040
I was ambushed
441
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,800
on my way back from Luzhou.
442
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,360
Ambushed?
443
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,000
Yes.
444
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:30,960
I later found out
445
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,400
it was Second Uncle's doing.
446
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:33,920
You...
447
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,520
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
448
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,600
Because it wouldn't have helped.
449
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:44,040
I know you well.
450
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,800
When I returned that year,
451
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,400
there was no one by your side anymore.
452
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,720
If you had known about it
and tried to do something,
453
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,680
you would have been targeted by them.
454
00:21:58,320 --> 00:21:59,360
Instead of that,
455
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,760
it's better
456
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:01,840
for you to not know anything
457
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,480
and live a peaceful life.
458
00:22:08,360 --> 00:22:10,440
When Father was still alive,
459
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,280
he often reminded me
460
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:15,360
that as men...
461
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,360
we should shoulder
462
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:20,640
responsibilities
463
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,440
and strive to make those around us
live a better life.
464
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,720
If they are not living a good life...
465
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,960
we should be the ones to be blamed.
466
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,200
And it's evident
467
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,800
that Father fulfilled his duties.
468
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,080
He spent his whole life
taking care of you.
469
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,440
You didn't have to do
470
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,040
or think about anything.
471
00:22:45,120 --> 00:22:46,600
Later, Father told me
472
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,640
to take on his responsibilities
473
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:49,840
and continue caring for you.
474
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,480
And I've always seen this
475
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,480
as my own battle.
476
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,880
Whether I win or lose...
477
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,200
I shouldn't disturb you.
478
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,880
Then why bring it up now?
479
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,480
Did I end up harming you...
480
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,400
and leaving you no way out?
481
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:16,800
That's not it.
482
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,040
It's because someone
483
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,840
told me...
484
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:25,960
that I should allow you
to make your own choice.
485
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,240
Father took all the responsibilities
486
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:31,960
upon himself
487
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,080
but never let you choose.
488
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,040
So, Mother,
489
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,760
this time...
490
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,600
I want you to make your own choice.

Second Master led many ministers
496
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,240
to kneel at the door
of the Imperial Study,
demanding punishment for Her Highness.
497
00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,560
She, in turn, knelt there too,
498
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,360
insisting on punishment
for Second and Third Masters.
499
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:02,280
They've been kneeling there,

Your Majesty,
638
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,840
there are exactly 150 of them in total
639
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,800
and they all request the removal
of the Inspectorate Office.
640
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,280
Go tell Pingyue
641
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,280
that if she can't find
solid evidence soon,
642
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,800
her Inspectorate Office
will cease to exist.
643
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,480

You're an elder.
649
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,600
There's no need
for such formalities in the future.
650
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:26,640
Please take a seat.
651
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:42,440
Mother.
652
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,200
Yesterday at the Pei's Mansion,
653
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,400
I was disrespectful towards you.
654
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,120
That wasn't my intention.
655
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,200
I was just very upset.
656
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,600
Please forgive me.
657
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,920
Thank you, Your Highness.
658
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,680
In the future,
when there are no outsiders,
659
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,320
you can actually call me
Rong or Pingyue.
660
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,040
Rong.
661
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,240
You two have a seat too.
662
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,600
I thought about it carefully.
663
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:41,880
Over all these years,
664
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,640
I've indeed been kept in the dark,
665
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,280
being aware of nothing.
666
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,240
From now on,
667
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:55,920
whatever Wenxuan wishes to do,
668
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:57,680
feel free to proceed.
669
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,320
I'll give you my full support.
670
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,360
Mother, you are even stronger
than I imagined.
671
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,400
Over the years...
672
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,440
I've been incompetent.
673
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,520
I hope it's not too late for me...
674
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,240
to take on the responsibilities
of being a mother.
675
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:27,200
Mother,
676
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:29,640
it's never too late.
677
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,240
Just relax and rest assured.
678
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:37,200
[Eastern Palace]
679
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:38,840
His Highness has gathered everyone here
680
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,800
to seek support
for the Inspectorate Office.
681
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:46,800
Your Highness,
682
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,840
I've served under you
since I was eighteen.
683
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,440
And it's been a decade.
684
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:52,880
My loyalty is beyond question,
685
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,120
as I'm sure you know.
686
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,560
Yet, I fear
687
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,160
the unchecked growth
of the Inspectorate Office
688
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,840
could someday threaten your reign.
689
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:02,720
What if I told you
690
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,600
that I initiated the establishment
of the Inspectorate Office
691
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,400
and it would make it work for me?
692
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:11,920
Your Highness,
693
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,600
can you truly guarantee
that Princess Pingyue
694
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,000
will obey your every command?
695
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,480
After all, even Mr. Shangguan Xu
696
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,000
doesn't seem to have her respect now.
697
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,000
Since I've chosen
Princess Pingyue as my ally,
698
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,640
I'm confident
she is fully aligned with me.
699
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,040
We must rely on the Inspectorate Office
700
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,040
to pave a new path forward.
701
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:33,800
Your Highness.
702
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,440
What exactly is this path?
703
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,920
Whether from humble origins
or noble families,
704
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,880
as long as they uphold fairness,
705
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:46,200
integrity, and justice,
706
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,840
ensuring that all people
have enough to live on
707
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:49,880
and depend on,
708
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,320
they are all with us on the same path.
709
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,960
We must unite these people
710
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:55,800
to forge a new path
711
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,120
for our generation.
712
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,120
But can we truly make
713
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,640
what you just said come true?
714
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,640
As long as it's in our hearts
715
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,520
and we strive for it,
716
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,680
I believe it will be realized someday
717
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,080
in the future.
718
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,240
- We pledge
- We pledge
719
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:20,280
- to follow you unto death.
- to follow you unto death.
720
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:12,040
Let's split up and go after him.
721
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:12,680
Yes.
722
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:17,080
Is it hurting again?
723
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,000
These people are really ruthless.
724
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:21,840
I'm fine.
725
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,520
Okay.
726
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:24,280
However,
727
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,120
enduring this beating was worth it.
728
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:27,880
Look,
729
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,080
you and Her Highness
are inseparable now.
730
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,200
That's so nice.
731
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:32,760
If they had beaten you harder,
732
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,160
wouldn't your relationship be even...
733
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:36,320
What are you saying?
734
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,520
Alright now.
735
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,000
Please focus on your work.
736
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:46,040
[Pei Wenxuan]
Be sure to protect my sister well.
737
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:47,480
I'll handle things
738
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,720
in court.
739
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,600
It's time for us to take action as well.
740
00:37:59,160 --> 00:37:59,760
Mother,
741
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,000
make sure to put on a good act later.
742
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,520
Mother,
743
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,160
follow my lead later
744
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:05,880
and be careful.
745
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:06,880
Okay.
746
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,400
- Greetings, Your Highness.
- Greetings, Your Highness.
747
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,480
- Greetings, Elders.
- Greetings, Elders.
748
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:21,840
What's going on?
749
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,120
The Prince Consort's greetings to you
750
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,960
are equivalent to my greetings to you.
751
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,080
You've forgotten what I said?
752
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:34,200
Mr. Pei,
753
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,040
aren't you going
to show greetings to my husband?
754
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:37,680
Your Highness,
755
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,160
Second Brother caught a cold yesterday.
756
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,040
Please forgive him.
757
00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:44,400
So you've caught a cold.
758
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,720
Let me summon the Imperial Physician
to take a look at you.
759
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:48,480
Someone.
760
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,320
No need.
761
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:53,080
Wenxuan,
762
00:38:53,720 --> 00:38:57,440
what are you trying to do today?
763
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:04,560
Grandfather,
764
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,680
my intentions are simple.
765
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,000
I have turned twenty
766
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,400
and started my own family and career.
767
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,760
I am considered an adult now,
768
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,360
so there's no reason for other elders
769
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:18,680
to continue
taking care of things for me.
770
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:20,000
Besides,
771
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:21,600
even if I can't manage the inheritance
772
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,680
left by my father,
773
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,120
it should be my mother
who can handle it on my behalf.
774
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,160
How could I trouble
775
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,040
other elders to do it?
776
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,680
Your father was the most promising child
in our family.
777
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,520
His legacy naturally belongs to you.
778
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,760
However, your recent actions...
779
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:46,920
have been impulsive.
780
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,760
You've caused so much trouble,
781
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,360
which has provoked many noble families.
782
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,360
You need to discipline yourself.
783
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,840
Indeed. What he said is right.
784
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:05,560
You're all right.
785
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,640
I haven't achieved much yet.
786
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,560
However, I do have some influence
787
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:13,040
in the Censorate.
788
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,120
In the future,
789
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,440
I hope you can all support me more
in the official circles.
790
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,320
Of course.
791
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,560
Today, I'd like to clarify my stance.
792
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,480
I am a member of the Pei Family,
793
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,440
no matter if it's in the past or future.
794
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:27,920
Moreover,
795
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,400
I am already married
to Princess Pingyue.
796
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,000
Our Pei Family
797
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,760
is firmly tied to Her Highness.
798
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:36,960
Elders,
799
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,760
instead of courting favor
with those noble families,
800
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,080
why not wholeheartedly follow
His Majesty and Her Highness?
801
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,200
If so, we don't need to fear
the threats from the noble families.
802
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,520
- Yes, that makes sense.
- Yes, that makes sense.
803
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:48,880
- Right.
- He does have a point.
804
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:57,360
Grandfather, please make a decision.
805
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,040
Initially...
806
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,200
Initially, when this matter
was entrusted to me to handle,
807
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,360
I mentioned to you
808
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,040
that there might be disagreements
in the future.
809
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,640
What did you say back then?
810
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,360
You said Wenxuan was just a child
811
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,040
and not that kind of person.
812
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:30,480
But what now?
813
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:32,480
Forget it.
814
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:33,920
Such utter nonsense.
815
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,280
Initially, you told me
816
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:42,480
that Wenxuan was still young
817
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,480
and needed to go back to his hometown
to mourn for his father.
818
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:45,960
I was in poor health
819
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,040
and you were afraid
I'd be tricked by others,
820
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,400
so you asked me to entrust the property
821
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,400
to you to manage.
822
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,640
I don't even want to mention
823
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,080
all the mess you've caused.
824
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,120
But now,
825
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,600
Wenxuan is the Prince Consort
826
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,920
and has returned.
827
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,400
It was so humiliating for me
828
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,000
to ask you for money,
829
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,360
and yet you refuse to repay me.
830
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:10,880
How can you be so shameless?
831
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:11,760
You...
832
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,480
Second Uncle.
833
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,160
My mother's intention
834
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,960
isn't to blame or doubt you.
835
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,520
I know you have
our best interests at heart.
836
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:20,520
But I really am in need of money.
837
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,880
You've been deceiving me all along.
838
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,960
I trusted you so much,
839
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,480
yet you lied to me like this.
840
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,000
How many wrongs have you done to my son?
841
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,800
I've treated you like a younger brother,
842
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,320
yet you've been so heartless.
843
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,000
It's not like that.
844
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:39,520
Please let me explain.
845
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:40,680
I don't want to hear your explanation.
846
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:41,800
I already know everything.
847
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:42,920
What do you know?
848
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,520
I know you actually tried
to kill him back then.
849
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,600
But that's not my focus today.
850
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:49,920
I'm only here
851
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,280
to ask for the money back.
852
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:51,920
What are you doing?
853
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:53,560
I'm telling you
854
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,000
that this is Wenxuan's money.
855
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,200
You must return it to us.
856
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,360
What a shrew!
857
00:42:58,360 --> 00:42:59,840
How can you call me shrew?
858
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:01,960
You heartless and deceitful person.
859
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,640
If it weren't for Lizhi back then,
860
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,160
could you be who you are today?
861
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,600
Think carefully.
862
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,480
If it weren't for him pleading for you
863
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:10,600
at the Ministry of Revenue
864
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,600
and using his connections,
865
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,000
would you have this position today?
866
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,960
Have you forgotten
how you kneeled before him,
867
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,760
promising to treat Wenxuan
like your own son?
868
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,160
You despicable and ungrateful creature!
869
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:22,640
I didn't say I wouldn't return it...
870
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:23,920
That was a bit much.
871
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,080
I'm simply taking care of it
on his behalf.
872
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:25,760
A bit much?
873
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:27,160
But you've done well.
874
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Pei Wenxuan
875
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:32,920
has so much on his plate right now.
876
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:33,960
Can he handle it all?
877
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:35,080
And you,
878
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,360
do you think you can take charge of it?
879
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,680
I'm genuinely trying to help,
880
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,520
so I take care of it on his behalf.
881
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:42,320
I don't care...
882
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:42,960
Mother.
883
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:45,560
