You don't move. 23 00:02:44,970 --> 00:02:50,040 Jinchuan war is at the pivotal point. Narqin losing battles in succession is one thing. 24 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:55,530 But he's so senseless to even plead His Majesty to send Master Qian to assist with the war. 25 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:02,160 There's talk that there are gods and ghosts assisting in war. This will lead to defeat of army morale. 26 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,580 Narqin is desperate to win. 27 00:03:04,580 --> 00:03:07,230 But he can't let the army morale break. 28 00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:08,850 Empress Dowager. 29 00:03:08,850 --> 00:03:11,080 Bad news, Empress Dowagaer. 30 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,310 Sir Narqin came back to the capital unauthorized and His Majesty is extremely angry. 31 00:03:15,350 --> 00:03:17,100 Go on. 32 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,070 Empress Dowager. 33 00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:24,460 Narqin is such a fool.

I can't put a word to it. 39 00:03:41,930 --> 00:03:45,280 But Sir Narqin, he's your Niohuru clan's 40 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,210 endorsement in the royal court. You should try to persuade. 41 00:03:49,210 --> 00:03:52,610 Things aren't the same as before. 42 00:03:52,610 --> 00:03:57,560 Nowadays, Emperor's wings have hardened and he advocates for himself. 43 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,730 If I beg Emperor's favor over this matter, 44 00:04:00,730 --> 00:04:03,760 Emperor, if he were to forgive Narqin today, 45 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,220 he would still bury a resentment of me and Niohuru clan. 46 00:04:08,220 --> 00:04:12,150 Then the troubles are infinite. 47 00:04:12,810 --> 00:04:16,450 Jinchuan's war is in distress due to Narqin's error in strategy. 48 00:04:16,450 --> 00:04:20,490 But he returns to the court and dares to push off the responsibility. So shameless. 49 00:04:24,990 --> 00:04:27,280 Why don't you talk? 50 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:31,540 Your Majesty is talking about the royal court and I don't dare to talk. 51 00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:33,800 Then I'll talk about the harem. 52 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:39,940 Narqin is Royal Mother's clansman.
