Episode Fifty-four

Maybe because of the yellow sand

the sky of Yan is never clear

even when it is sunny

But better in rainy days

Not continual like Wei

but fresh and cool

Pity that so less rain here

By the way

how is boss Chen?

Master

We have sent them back to

the safe area at the rear

According to him

the one released them wore a mask

Seems like a man

Know well about

Hongchuan

Who would that be?

Message from Chang'an

The majesty is badly sick

Lost the charge of the government

Now all the affairs are governed

by the seventh prince Yuan Che

If so the

civilians may be able to enjoy the peace

earlier

One who do evils

won't end well

What do you think, your highness?

I have sworn to fill Chang'an with blood long before

Cut down the head of its majesty myself to

mourn the death of Yan

How can he die

so easily?

Exactly, your highness

Only killing the enemies with our hand

can we comfort the heroes

died for Yan

The old majesty may be about to end

But the new majesty is still

our biggest threat

The seventh prince Yuan Che is prudent in action

He can see the bigger picture

Still doubtful if he will be our threat

Seem like

Miss Yu has some relationship

with this seventh prince?

Cheng Yuan, what do you mean saying that?

If you are not

close friends

how do you know

he is not a threat?

Cheng Yuan

No matter who is the next majesty

the war can not be avoided

Announce my order

Fasten the preparation of food and soldiers for the battle

Yes

Please consider for a little more

If the war comes again don't know

how many families

are about to separate

Yan has just welcomed for its peace

They can't suffer from another war

I've said before

Women can never be relied on to

lead the army

Yan and Wei

could never exist at same time

If you just keep the thought of luck in your mind

the whole land of Yan will be stepped on

by their men sooner or later

You should know best about

how a woman woman the the troops

General Cheng

You'd better be careful with your words

Careful?

You are also a general

You should know well about

the current situation of Yan

Now we have strong enemies outside us

and problems not to be neglected inside us

someone

may be able to release the spies of Yan today

Then tomorrow someone may be able to

assassinate the prince

What do you mean?

Your highness

Those who burn the barn escaped

But weird thing is

all the locked torture devices in the prison

have no sign to be destroy by force

So someone must have used keys to

release them

I think this spy is among us

I think

Minister Chu should know best about this

General Cheng

Then according to you

Our Minister Chu is a suspect?

Right, Cheng Yuan

No matter what

you can't suspect Minister Chu

We are clear in mind

if it was her or not

Your highness, it's not a small deal

Enough

Do not involve in it

any more

You may leave

Yes

Yes

Yes

What are you coming for?

A'chu

I just want to ask you

Did you release those people

who came to burn the barn

You don't believe me, right?

If you say no, I will believe you

Okay, them I'm telling you

No

Okay

Yan Xun

The civilians of Yan have always been

looking forward to your return

Do we just pay them back

with war?

There will be

a price for everything

And the real peace

can only be gained

through war

Is that true?

Princess.

He is the son of Concubine Zhao.

The other day she caught a weird disease

and died in a short time.

There is only this child left.

It shows the superficiality of human relationships.

Concubine Zhao is dead.

He lost his mother.

Poor child.

He is here alone,

without the company of any servant.

Those concubines in palaces

are all extremely selfish.

No wonder,

he is not their child, anyway.

How can they care for him?

Concubine Zhao died.

Those servants would

naturally ignore him.

Who are you?

I am Yuan Chun.

Your sister.

Can you play with me?

Sure.

Since today,

I can play with you every day.

Are you happy?

Yes.

Let's play, then.

Okay.

I am going to kick it.

Yang'er.

No.

Yang'er.

Who is it?

Sister!

Are you sure?

Yes!

Really?

Really.

See for yourself.

Are you correct?

Are you?

Sister, you lose!

Fine, I lose.

Tell me,

what do you want me to do?

I will say yes to everything.

Play festive lantern with me tomorrow.

That simple?

No problem, I promise you.

- Princess. - Here.

Princess, Chief Eunuch Wang is here.

Let him in.

Yes.

Here.

Chief Eunuch Wang, please come in.

How come you

catch me at one blow?

I just need to touch your fingers.

You are so smart.

Princess,

His Majesty invites Prince Yuan Yang

to dine in Concubine Lan's palace.

Okay.

But Chief Eunuch Wang,

I accidentally dirtied his hands

when playing with Yang'er just now.

I help him to wash and rinse.

Yes.

Let's go.

Here.

Yang'er.

Never eat food

that is given by others.

Do you remember

the little rabbit of mine?

It died,

because it ate the food

given by other people.

Your Majesty, why did you

ask me to cook a meal for Prince Yuan Yang?

Lan'er.

You see, you have no child.

My health is getting poorer every day.

Do you have any plan for the future?

I will listen to your instructions.

Fine.

There are

many princes in palaces.

In my opinion,

Yuan Yang is a rough diamond.

He lost his mother when he was young.

I was too busy with everything

and didn't have time to look after him.

Why not

make you his adoptive mother

and look after him?

You can rely on him in the future.

What do you think?

Your Majesty trusts me.

I will treat him

as if he were my own,

and cultivate him well.

Your Majesty, Concubine.

Prince Yuan Yang is here.

Father.

Yuan Yang.

Come to me.

Father, are you feeling better?

With you thinking about me,

how can I not feel better?

Prince Yuan Yang is growing up.

Have some soup.

No.

I don't want to be like the rabbit.

What rabbit? Don't be silly.

Here. Have some soup.

(Sound of crying)

I don't want to be like the rabbit.

There, there.

I don't want to be like the rabbit.

Don't be like the rabbit.

Don't be like the rabbit.

There, there.

Don't cry.

There, there.

Your Majesty, I will leave first.

Father. There, there.

Don't be like the rabbit.

Don't be afraid.

You won't be like the rabbit.

You won't.

There, there.

There, there.

Tell me.

Who would you have look after you?

A personal letter to Young Master Yue.

The situation in Chang'an is changing.

You advised me to compete for the throne.

I am afraid I can't succeed.

I am in the prime of my life with military power in hand.

Father worries that

his position will be threatened

if he makes me his heir.

Therefore, he takes

more strict precautions against me.

His health is

getting poor day by day.

Recently,

he is intented to

make his young son, Yuan Yang, his heir

to avoid the fight for throne.

Obviously Yuan Chun knows clearly

about this key point.

She deliberately got close to Yuan Yang.

She got in the way,

alienating Yuan Yang

from Concubine Lan.

Father had to give Yuan Yang

to her temporarily.

The fight for throne is getting clearer.

It's easy to guess Yaun Chun's intention.

Now, Father is suspicious about me.

Yuan Chun also sees me

as a thorn in her flesh.

I am treading on thin ice.

The slightest mistake may cost me my life.

Your Royal Highness Xiang,

don't stay in this troubled place.

You should offer to

do battle in Yanbei,

to deceive Yuan Chun.

However, you ambush outside Chang'an City.

Even if she takes action,

there's still time for you to return to Chang'an

to control the situation.

Sister,

why does Brother Yuan Che

leave?

Well,

isn't it good?

(Sound of thunder)

(Sound of coughing)

Chief Eunuch Wang,

Somebody comes.

Lan'er.

Lan'er.

Somebody comes.

Bring me my medicine.

I need to take medicine.

(Sound of coughing)

Chun'er, you're just in time.

Give me my medicine.

Father, do you want it?

It's too hot. Please wait.

Where are Lan'er and Chief Eunuch Wang?

Where are those people in palaces?

I ask them to leave

because they don't treat you well.

You are very ill, Father.

You should have a good rest.

I will keep you company. Isn't it good?

What do you want?

Nothing.

I just want to talk to you.

Nobody else is

in this palace

but you and me.

We won't be disturbed.

Father, I have always

wanted to ask you about something.

But I never got the chance.

At that time when

you let me marry Yan Xun,

did you regard me as a bait?

I had no alternative then.

The only thing I regret

is that I didn't kill that traitor.

The happiest moment

in my life is

when you approve of

our marrige.

I didn't expect that

it was in vain.

A deception from start to finish.

Yan Xun's sin

can be forgiven

even if he is drawed to death.

Why do you hang up on him?

He is my childhood sweetheart.

We grew up together.

I liked him.

I had liked him for so long.

I thought you knew that.

Chun'er, we may know a man's exterior but not his heart.

You were tricked by him.

I wasn't.

He had stayed in Chang'an for a long time,

behaving himself.

He was always sweet to me.

If it wasn't for you,

If it wasn't for your suspicion for your brother,

you massacred his people, killed his families,

you almost killed Brother Yan Xun

on the Jiuyou Platform,

making him overwhelmed with sorrow.

How could he rebel

against you?

He was like his father.

They were disloyal.

He rose in rebellion,

plunging the people into misery and suffering.

It was you who made the people suffer.

It is you who deserve punishment.

It is you who should go to hell.

That's too far.

How dare you slander your own father

for a traitor?

(Sound of laughing)

Father?

Now you know

you are a father.

I used to think that

you were like

every father in the world.

You would think for your children.

I never knew that

I...

I was merely a pawn in your plan.

To kill Yan Xun,

you used me as a tool.

At that time,

did it occur to you that

you were a father.

Do you know how many sins

you have commited in your life?

You killed Duke Dingbei wrongly,

forced Bai Sheng to die,

persecuted good and loyal men. This is your first sin.

You branded Yanbei people as rebels,

massacred innocent people.

This is your second sin.

To keep people from

calling you tyrant,

you deliberately spared

Brother Yan Xun's life.

Secretly, you incited big households

to assassin Yan Xun,

turning them against each other,

and you could just be a free rider.

This is your third sin.

My mother, Grand Imperial Concubine Wei.

You have been together for many years.

You made her drink the poisoned wine

to get herself killed, despite your marital relationship.

Brother Yuan Song.

My brother is at peace with the world.

You exiled him.

Brother Yuan Che has great ambitions.

However, you gave

your throne

to an

ignorant child.

Just because you feared your power would be decentralized.

Do you want me to continue?

You, a heartless emperor,

a disloyal brother, an unloving father,

suspicious by nature,

jealous like a woman.

This is why you came to the fate

of breaking up families now.

Father.

Let me tell you one thing

that you should either do not do it

or leave no room for manoeuver.

Since you had killed the Duke Dingbei,

then you should have killed Yanxun.

Since you had killed my mother,

then you should have killed me.

You are not the one you used to be.

What you used to...

What you used to be...

... was not like this.

Because I know

the one who is pure and kind will only be trampled underfoot,

and the innocent one will not last long.

It's not that I have changed,

it's I have grown up.

I didn't want to be princess.

I didn't want any high position

and great wealth either.

I just wanted to

live with the one I love

for my whole life.

But now,

my mother died, my brother left,

and the one who loved me was gone as well.

The people I cared about

have been missing one by one.

Now, I'm the only one left.

Do you know

that I have nightmare every night

and feel as if I'm not living?

Never mind.

How could I count on

the most selfish one in the world

will share the feeling with me?

What are you doing?

What are you going to do?

Chun'er, what are you going to do?

Chun'er.

What are you going to do?

What?

Someone help me.

Someone help me.

Please help me.

Someone help me.

- Someone help me. - Stop Crying.

- It won't work. - Help me.

I fell into water by accident when I was 8,

then I had a high fever.

You took care of me with undrssing

and ordered to fill all the pools

in the Palace.

Who could expect

that you and I

have turned against each other now?

I'm not merciless enough

and not shrewd enough,

but you are the one

who forced me to come here step by step.

Father, it's time for you medicine.

You are murdering your father and committing regicide.

I will give the throne to Yuan Yang

as you wish.

But I will assist him.

Chun'er, I know I was wrong.

Do you want the state power?

I will give it to you, okay?

What good is that I have the state power?

What I wanted

have already been destroyed by you.

Come on, a good medicine tastes bitter.

You can have a rest after finishing it.

Stop.

Help me.

Help me.

Why did you come back?

Chun'er, you went too far this time.

You can't be so viciousness

even you had hate in your heart.

I'm viciousness?

Compared with this one,

I'm not as viciousness

as one in a million of him.

But he is our father.

Father?

Why didn't he say he is the father

when he married me to Yanxun?

Why didn't he say he is the father

when he killed my mother?

Why didn't he say he is the father

when he kicked you out to the frontier juncture?

He is inhumanity and injustice to us.

Why should I treat him as good as we could?

I'm killing him.

Chun'er.

- I'm killing him. - Chun'er.

Stop.

No matte how,

I will never let you do it today.

Father.

Are you sure what you heard is right?

Absolutely true.

I just saw it with my own eyes

that the princess had been sent out of the Palace under escort.

What should we do?

What should we do now?

The emperor won't let her get away

since it's such big issue.

No. It's not going to happen.

I have to figure out a way to save her.

Young Master. Young Master.

What are you doing?

I'm going to save her.

Are you going to rebel, Young Master?

I'm going to save the princess.

How could I rise in rebellion?

It's the rebellion to disobey the decree of the emperor.

Young Master.

It's too serious, I don't care.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Yuwen Yue.

Based on your stratagem,

I found an excuse to leave Chang'an

and stationed the troops outside the city,

so I could get the chance in time to stop Yuan Chun

to force the king to abdicate and commit regicide.

It's a pity

that my sister Yuan Chun has been kept in the Ganfu Temple by father

and been waiting for the judgement.

Through this accident,

father has just stayed at the Bedchamber alone

and didn't say a word for couple of days.

I think he must feel very grieved.

Maybe I have performed meritorious service to help his Majesty out,

and father has thought I have the innocent heart of a child,

so he has really trusted me.

I have been in charge of

all the government affairs,

which made me really fearful.

I will not let father down

and be careful in the beginning and respectful in the ending.

Brother, come to catch me.

Slow down.

Come on, you can't catch me.

Catch you.

Come to catch me.

Slow down.

You can't catch me. You can't catch me.

Come on.

Wait for me.

Come on.

I got you.

Brother, I'm sorry.

It's alright.

Since you have been in our humble home, Young Master,

how about coming in and drinking a cup of water?

You are welcome, please.

- Please come in. - Brother.

Come on in.

Come on, take a seat.

Come on, seat over here.

Come on, please take a seat.

Thank you.

Come on, drink the water, come on.

I have got something to do,

I will be back soon.

You just take the seat.

Okay.

You must have a hard time getting here, Young Master.

Just try the little snacks we made by ourselves.

Be careful

Please take your time, I'm going to do my wrok.

Thank you.

Come on.

Go, let's get inside.

Your highness.

Let's go back.

The sunset is so beautiful today.

There is sunset every day.

Why are you full of sorrow, Your highness?

Yeah, the sunset is always here,

so is the day.

The time is just passing day by day.

But people are different.

Once they leave,

they will never come back.

Did you miss Chang'an, Your highness?

What I missed is not the present

Chang'an,

but the Chang'an in my memory.

At that time, Chun'er and I were just kids,

and Chun'er liked to play hide-and-seek,

so I just played it with her.

Mother and Fath...

They just sit around

and watched us with smile.

That was the time of carefree and no worries.

But when I was at that time,

I didn't realize anything.

I realized it till everything

had been broken

that how happy we were

and how lucky we were at that time.

Your highness, the deceased can't come back.

The deceased can't come back.

This is why

I followed father's order

to come to Yanbei.

I thought

it could let the dust settle

and thought it could make Chun'er

be good.

Your highness.

Please stay here and wait for me for a while.

Your highness. Please take a look.

When I was a kid,

I was very good at this.

Everyone in the village

liked to come to my home and asked me for the help.

For one while,

there were scarecrows I made

in all the fields at our village.

You must be a smart girl

when you were a kid.

Did the people in your village

very like you?

I didn't ask them

whether they all like me or not.

When we meet each other at hell,

maybe I will ask them.

Did they...

They all died.

I was making the scarecrow

in the field at that time,

so I just dodged the disaster.

When I came home filled with great joy,

I didn't expect

to see the scene

that I would never forget for my whole life.

My neighbors, my friends,

my brother,

my mother

and my father,

they all laid down in the blood.

The bloodstain which was so thick that became black

seemed to be the pool of blood

from distance.

Everyone has his or her

own story.

I didn't say it

doesn't mean it didn't hurt.

So you were brought to

the Afterlife camp

and trained to be a killer.

Let the past be the past.

You can't move on

if you don't drop the load from the past.

The reason I told you all this

is not to tell you

how pity I am,

but hope you will stick out

just like me,

then you will always see the hope.

Your Highness, please come here.

Do me a favour.

Great.

Our scarecrow is finished.

Meng Feng. Thank you.

You did it yourself.

There is no need to thank me.

From now on,

I am just like a scarecrow

in the border of Meilin.

I will guard

this land.

Here. Here.

Drink. Drink.

Fill it up.

OK. OK.

Quickly.

Here. Here.

Quickly.

Bring the wine.

OK.

Set the table.

The troop of Xiuli

has been situated here for days.

They only patrol around the place.

Nothing weird.

Young Master Yue let us

watch them in secret.

He must have a reason.

Be patient.

Miss Chu never mentioned

to transfer us

to Xiuli Mountain.

What?

Look at this carefully.

This is His Highness' seal.

Is the troop of Xiuli under

Chu Qiao's command,

instead of His Highness?

General Cheng, that's not what I meant.

Every solider in the troop of Xiuli

is an elite.

Elite?

Indeed.

The city of Hongchuan, the city of Beishuo

and the city of Chang'an

were almost ruined

by you.

You are elites indeed.

Very impressive.

General Cheng,

what do you mean exactly?

I am just telling the truth.

I think you are looking for troubles.

How dare you.

I was talking to He Xiao.

How dare you step in?

You鈥? General Cheng,

since it is from His Highness,

we will obey.

Can we say goodbye to Miss Chu

before we leave?

That's not necessary.

According to His Highness,

you must leave immediately

because you are

short of soldiers.

When you arrive at Xiuli Mountain,

you will join the local army.

The troop of Xiuli

will no longer exist.

Jiang Teng.

Take down their ensign.

Burn it right here.

Yes, sir.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Step back. All of you.

Step back. All of you.

I shall fight with you at full split.

Step back.

Let go of me.

Calm down.

You may kill us, but you can never insult us.

Look at me.

Don't disobey someone who is above your ranking.

If you are reasonable people,

you should know

this ensign is the most shameful thing

for the troop of Xiuli.

You betrayed the late Duke.

We were defeated by the Wei State.

People in the city of Hongchuan and

the city of Beishuo were killed because of you.

You don't have a place

in Chang'an anymore.

You came back to His Highness.

In order to survive,

you are all hiding behind a woman.

I am a real man.

I am ashamed that

you are part of our army.

Cheng Yuan.

It is not your place to decide

our loyalty.

When the troop of Yuanqi attacked,

you escaped and abandoned the city.

After that,

you even let your people get killed

for you.

You are a real man?

You are too arrogant.

You are ashamed that we are part of this army.

We are ashamed that

we are your alliance.

His Highness only ordered us

to go back to Xiuli Mountain.

There was nothing else.

You better

give the ensign back to me.

You better not challenge

my bottom line.
