00:09:16,373 --> 00:09:18,463
That person from the Jiang family is me?
189
00:09:19,733 --> 00:09:20,463
After that?
190
00:09:20,943 --> 00:09:23,013
Use your eloquence
191
00:09:23,423 --> 00:09:25,613
to make him come
to Jiang's Residence to see me.
192
00:09:27,823 --> 00:09:28,423
That's it?
193
00:09:28,493 --> 00:09:29,133
Yes.
194
00:09:29,463 --> 00:09:30,983
So
195
00:09:31,223 --> 00:09:33,063
you're asking me to act as myself?
196
00:09:33,303 --> 00:09:34,703
Don't think that Mr. Shen
197
00:09:34,703 --> 00:09:36,893
will come to Jiang's Residence
just because you want him to.
198
00:09:37,103 --> 00:09:38,013
Oh, Jiang Li.
199
00:09:38,583 --> 00:09:40,423
I have to admire your insight.
200
00:09:40,733 --> 00:09:43,533
If you ask Liu Xu or Ye Shijie for help,
201
00:09:43,533 --> 00:09:45,373
they will surely fail to do it.
202
00:09:45,653 --> 00:09:46,943
But you found me
203
00:09:47,373 --> 00:09:48,373
as if fate
204
00:09:48,533 --> 00:09:50,853
has opened up a new path for you.
205
00:09:50,853 --> 00:09:53,103
Well, it seems like fate
has been kind to you as well.
206
00:09:53,343 --> 00:09:55,063
How dare you say that? Aren't you afraid
of getting struck by lightning?
207
00:09:57,373 --> 00:09:59,493
But I've thought it over.
208
00:10:00,183 --> 00:10:01,533
Why does someone like Duke Su
209
00:10:01,943 --> 00:10:03,533
love watching you act?
210
00:10:06,223 --> 00:10:08,253
You have an idea to head east
211
00:10:08,703 --> 00:10:11,103
but tell everyone you're heading west.
212
00:10:11,613 --> 00:10:13,893
Even though your stories
are poorly written,
213
00:10:14,463 --> 00:10:18,013
they somehow make people want
to keep watching.
214
00:10:18,893 --> 00:10:20,773
I want to know what your idea
215
00:10:20,773 --> 00:10:21,463
of heading east is.
216
00:10:21,853 --> 00:10:23,063
This is what they call
217
00:10:23,943 --> 00:10:24,583
suspense.
218
00:10:25,063 --> 00:10:26,423

but don't point it out.

228
00:10:57,483 --> 00:10:58,753

229
00:10:58,913 --> 00:10:59,673
Don't slack off.

please let me know in advance.

Yes.

Is anyone absent today?

239
00:11:15,323 --> 00:11:16,443
Such dedication and effort
240

Do you know about her quitting?

Yes.

What happened?

00:11:51,633 --> 00:11:54,513
Should we talk in private?
251
00:11:55,513 --> 00:11:56,443
It's because
252
00:11:56,513 --> 00:11:58,443
of the collaborative performance
with the Hanlin scholars.
253
00:11:59,323 --> 00:12:00,913
No one wanted to perform with her,
254
00:12:01,843 --> 00:12:02,723
so she fell ill.
255
00:12:03,003 --> 00:12:04,243
That's debatable.
256
00:12:04,553 --> 00:12:05,513
Did she fall ill because of this?
257
00:12:06,003 --> 00:12:08,243
Do you know what people
are saying about Jiang Li?
258
00:12:08,913 --> 00:12:09,723
They say
259
00:12:10,033 --> 00:12:12,123
she has a face
just like your deceased wife's,
260
00:12:12,273 --> 00:12:14,083
so she's trying hard
to get close to you.
261
00:12:14,393 --> 00:12:15,603
To avoid arousing suspicion,
262
00:12:15,963 --> 00:12:16,963
Mr. Shen is avoiding her.
263
00:12:17,123 --> 00:12:17,913
Who said that?
264
00:12:18,243 --> 00:12:18,963
Nonsense!
265
00:12:19,323 --> 00:12:20,673
Mr. Shen, your reputation
is well-established,
266
00:12:20,673 --> 00:12:21,393
so you're not afraid.
267
00:12:21,673 --> 00:12:22,603
However, for a young lady
268
00:12:22,603 --> 00:12:24,483
who is not yet married,
269
00:12:24,633 --> 00:12:25,913
such rumors can be as sharp as a knife.
270
00:12:26,203 --> 00:12:27,003
If I were Jiang Li,
271
00:12:27,123 --> 00:12:28,393
I would rather just die
and be done with it.
272
00:12:30,363 --> 00:12:32,483
As her sibling and friend,
273
00:12:32,963 --> 00:12:34,003
you should advise her

to not pay attention
to these filthy gossips.
275
00:12:36,513 --> 00:12:37,913
You overestimated me.
276
00:12:38,393 --> 00:12:39,843
I wouldn't know how to advise a lady.
277
00:12:40,633 --> 00:12:41,633
I'm at a loss too.
278

Otherwise, I wouldn't be anxious.

00:12:43,793 --> 00:12:45,273
If the reception
of the delegation is delayed,
280
00:12:46,153 --> 00:12:49,363
the blame will fall on the Jiang family.

00:12:50,003 --> 00:12:50,753
What should we do?

283
00:12:53,243 --> 00:12:54,363

285

No one in our family can persuade her.

But

I often hear Jiang Li speak highly
of you, Mr. Shen.

about the rumors.

find out who started them.

It's just that the Grand Zhao delegation
is about to arrive,
312

is very important to His Majesty.

be influenced by rumors.

Since you declined
to endorse my name card,

to perform with the Hanlin scholars,

The best way to dispel rumors
334
00:15:47,963 --> 00:15:49,243
is to confront them directly.
335

it has nothing to do with my appearance,
337

then our performance together
would be the best proof.

between Jiang Li and your deceased wife,

a clear conscience.

344

I suppose it must be hatred.

00:18:23,003 --> 00:18:24,833
I've arranged for him to be stationed
at the Capital Security Office.
373
00:18:25,003 --> 00:18:26,073
The security is tight there,
374
00:18:26,313 --> 00:18:28,513
so even Xiao Heng's people can't get in.
375
00:18:29,033 --> 00:18:31,273
Yuan Jiang, the Commissioner
of the Capital Security Office
376
00:18:31,513 --> 00:18:33,073
took considerable effort
377
00:18:33,073 --> 00:18:33,923
to win over.
378
00:18:34,273 --> 00:18:36,033
Don't mess things up for me.
379
00:18:36,513 --> 00:18:37,593
Don't worry, Father.
380
00:18:38,883 --> 00:18:40,203
Yuan Jiang has only
recently pledged allegiance.
381
00:18:40,403 --> 00:18:41,923
This situation is precisely
the opportunity
382
00:18:41,923 --> 00:18:43,643
for me to test their loyalty to you.
383
00:18:45,273 --> 00:18:45,963
Jin,
384
00:18:46,793 --> 00:18:48,353
be extra careful.
385
00:18:50,353 --> 00:18:51,033
Yes.
386
00:19:04,243 --> 00:19:04,883
Are you fine?
387
00:19:05,163 --> 00:19:07,483
Your eyes are affectionate
when you look at him.
388
00:19:08,003 --> 00:19:09,483
He isn't the person I love.
389
00:19:10,073 --> 00:19:11,203
I don't do romance.
390
00:19:12,723 --> 00:19:13,753
It's up to you
whether you want to save me or not.
391
00:19:22,963 --> 00:19:24,073
Two liars.
392
00:19:28,073 --> 00:19:29,313
Two liars?
393
00:19:29,683 --> 00:19:30,553
What does that mean?
394
00:19:30,923 --> 00:19:31,723
Ignore her.
395
00:19:34,723 --> 00:19:36,003
What are you holding?
396
00:19:36,163 --> 00:19:38,113
This is chrysanthemum tea
I brewed myself.
397
00:19:39,353 --> 00:19:40,033
It clears heat.
398
00:19:41,883 --> 00:19:42,553
Wen Ji.
399
00:19:42,563 --> 00:19:45,033
[Return of the Clouds]
400
00:19:45,033 --> 00:19:46,203
Brew some and deliver it to Jiuyue.
401
00:19:47,033 --> 00:19:49,033
This isn't about decreasing her anger.
402
00:19:49,353 --> 00:19:50,353
It's a jealousy issue, right?
403
00:19:52,243 --> 00:19:53,003
Go find Lu Ji.
404
00:19:53,443 --> 00:19:54,353
20 strokes of the cane, right?
405
00:19:55,203 --> 00:19:57,003
Even 200 strokes
won't alleviate this jealousy!
406
00:19:59,793 --> 00:20:02,033
Have those who attempted
to assassinate Jiuyue been caught?
407
00:20:02,483 --> 00:20:03,113
We're on it.
408
00:20:04,003 --> 00:20:04,553
What about you?
409
00:20:05,593 --> 00:20:06,923
Is the plan progressing smoothly?
410
00:20:07,403 --> 00:20:08,073
It's almost time to pull in the net.
411
00:20:08,243 --> 00:20:10,203
I heard you're going
to play the guqin for Shen Yurong.
412
00:20:10,923 --> 00:20:12,883
Duke Su, I thought
you didn't like to ask around.
413
00:20:13,113 --> 00:20:15,273
Why monitor my every step
so closely then?
414
00:20:15,793 --> 00:20:17,033
I don't even need to ask around.
415
00:20:18,163 --> 00:20:19,593
Once I hear of it,
416
00:20:20,033 --> 00:20:21,033
it feels unsettling.
417
00:20:21,273 --> 00:20:23,273
Then next time
I'll bring some orange peels.
418
00:20:23,833 --> 00:20:24,483
What does that mean?
419
00:20:24,883 --> 00:20:25,683
To alleviate jealousy.
420
00:20:28,243 --> 00:20:29,203
You're actually planning
421
00:20:29,203 --> 00:20:30,643
to perform together with Jiang Li?
422
00:20:31,313 --> 00:20:32,163
What are you thinking?
423
00:20:32,163 --> 00:20:33,113
Are you out of your mind?
424
00:20:33,683 --> 00:20:35,033
What if Eldest Princess finds out?
425
00:20:35,443 --> 00:20:37,003
Do you want our family to die?
426
00:20:38,723 --> 00:20:41,963
Keeping the most dangerous person
close is the safest.
427
00:20:45,753 --> 00:20:46,443
Son,
428
00:20:46,923 --> 00:20:48,963
are you still in love with Xue Fangfei?
429
00:20:49,723 --> 00:20:50,483
Don't forget
430
00:20:51,273 --> 00:20:53,313
that Jiang Li and Xue Fangfei
are enemies
431
00:20:53,483 --> 00:20:54,683
of Eldest Princess.
432
00:20:55,073 --> 00:20:56,113
If you don't distance yourself
433
00:20:56,113 --> 00:20:57,243
and instead actively involve yourself,
434
00:20:57,793 --> 00:20:59,243
how do you think
Eldest Princess will perceive it?
435
00:20:59,443 --> 00:21:00,593
Mother, don't worry.
436
00:21:01,353 --> 00:21:02,513
I know what I'm doing.

Your Highness.
439
00:21:30,923 --> 00:21:32,313
Are they really rehearsing together?
440
00:21:32,793 --> 00:21:33,793
These few days,
441
00:21:33,793 --> 00:21:35,593
they have been rehearsing together
at Hanlin Academy.
442
00:21:37,513 --> 00:21:39,113
Do you want Mr. Shen to come over?
443
00:21:40,643 --> 00:21:41,403
No need.
444
00:21:42,513 --> 00:21:44,203
Some words are better left unsaid.
445
00:21:45,643 --> 00:21:47,313
He needs to see it with his own eyes
446
00:21:47,593 --> 00:21:49,163
to understand what he should not do.
447
00:22:16,363 --> 00:22:22,403
[Nothing but Virtue]

[Honor the Way]
449
00:24:04,513 --> 00:24:05,313
Who is he?
450
00:24:05,753 --> 00:24:06,593
A servant of the Jiang family.
451
00:24:06,923 --> 00:24:07,793
Luckily he's around.
452
00:24:09,923 --> 00:24:11,873
I thought you'd be curious
453
00:24:12,593 --> 00:24:14,203
about who wanted to kill me first.
454
00:24:16,443 --> 00:24:17,633
The authorities
will investigate thoroughly.
455
00:24:25,443 --> 00:24:26,203
He didn't stab hard,
456
00:24:26,683 --> 00:24:27,443
and the injury isn't severe.
457
00:24:27,683 --> 00:24:28,353
Come with me.
458
00:24:29,073 --> 00:24:30,153
The Hanlin Academy was invaded.
459
00:24:30,723 --> 00:24:31,683
I'll send someone to escort you back.
460
00:24:36,843 --> 00:24:37,523
[Jiang's Residence]
461
00:24:37,523 --> 00:24:38,483
That person has exceptional qinggong.
462
00:24:39,003 --> 00:24:39,923
I followed for several streets
463
00:24:40,763 --> 00:24:41,723
but still got left behind.
464
00:24:42,283 --> 00:24:44,553
Do you think the assassin today
465
00:24:44,593 --> 00:24:45,923
was sent by Shen Yurong?
466
00:24:46,353 --> 00:24:47,873
It seems the assassin
467
00:24:48,243 --> 00:24:50,113
aimed to strike Shen Yurong
with a vicious blow.
468
00:24:50,483 --> 00:24:51,553
Had they not restrained
their force in time,
469
00:24:51,833 --> 00:24:53,033
it might have been fatal,
470
00:24:53,833 --> 00:24:54,683
piercing through his chest.
471
00:24:55,243 --> 00:24:56,443
So it was
472
00:24:57,273 --> 00:24:58,403
Wanning's men.
473
00:24:59,033 --> 00:25:00,003
What a pity.
474
00:25:01,113 --> 00:25:02,593
That would be a great piece of evidence.
475
00:25:03,683 --> 00:25:05,203
So, this was your plan all along.
476
00:25:09,553 --> 00:25:10,163
You...
477
00:25:12,513 --> 00:25:13,403
Did you fly here?
478
00:25:13,753 --> 00:25:14,593
What else?
479
00:25:19,313 --> 00:25:20,923
Initially, you said you were
getting close to Shen Yurong
480
00:25:20,923 --> 00:25:22,683
to get something on him.
481
00:25:23,273 --> 00:25:24,273
It looks like
482
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:26,483
that's not all you want.
483
00:25:26,963 --> 00:25:29,003
You want to provoke Wanning.
484
00:25:29,203 --> 00:25:31,033
Shen Yurong's leverage is Wanning.
485
00:25:31,513 --> 00:25:33,593
I told you not to get yourself
involved in this scheme.
486
00:25:33,593 --> 00:25:35,403
Did you not remember a single word?
487
00:25:38,443 --> 00:25:40,643
Zhao Ke is secretly protecting me.
488
00:25:41,513 --> 00:25:42,273
I
489
00:25:43,203 --> 00:25:45,243
trust the man Duke Su sent
490
00:25:45,483 --> 00:25:46,753
will protect me.
491
00:25:47,113 --> 00:25:48,313
Don't flatter me.
492
00:25:52,683 --> 00:25:53,793
If Zhao Ke couldn't stop
493
00:25:53,793 --> 00:25:54,793
the assassin today,
494
00:25:54,923 --> 00:25:55,963
if you...
495
00:25:58,963 --> 00:25:59,683
What will you do?
496
00:26:00,833 --> 00:26:03,203
While getting involved directly
may not be the best strategy,
497
00:26:04,483 --> 00:26:05,683
given the current circumstances,
498
00:26:06,003 --> 00:26:07,403
I have no choice but
to proceed this way.
499
00:26:08,353 --> 00:26:09,593
I just didn't expect
500
00:26:09,963 --> 00:26:11,593
Wanning would directly
send someone to kill me.
501
00:26:11,923 --> 00:26:14,513
She ended up taking this step
because of this man.
502
00:26:14,513 --> 00:26:15,483
Don't bring up anything else.
503
00:26:15,793 --> 00:26:17,073
I don't care about Wanning.
504
00:26:17,483 --> 00:26:18,243
I know.
505
00:26:19,753 --> 00:26:20,793
You care about me.
506
00:26:22,833 --> 00:26:23,483
Rest assured,
507
00:26:23,963 --> 00:26:25,273
getting involved directly
508
00:26:25,643 --> 00:26:26,793
will bring success this time.
509
00:26:27,403 --> 00:26:29,033
I promise I won't do it again
in the future.
510
00:26:32,113 --> 00:26:33,203
You're eloquent.
511
00:26:35,033 --> 00:26:37,003
Then decline the joint performance
with Shen Yurong tomorrow.
512
00:26:37,753 --> 00:26:39,513
Shen Yurong took a knife for me today.
513
00:26:39,513 --> 00:26:40,203
Was he acting?
514
00:26:40,243 --> 00:26:40,883
It was true.
515
00:26:40,883 --> 00:26:41,553
So?
516
00:26:41,593 --> 00:26:42,403
So I'm thinking
517
00:26:42,403 --> 00:26:43,593
maybe I can take a different approach.
518
00:26:49,073 --> 00:26:51,403
Is this approach still going
to involve you personally?
519
00:26:52,313 --> 00:26:53,593
Not this time.
520
00:26:54,513 --> 00:26:55,353

00:26:55,723 --> 00:26:57,553
please trust me
522
00:26:58,003 --> 00:26:58,923

00:27:14,643 --> 00:27:16,443
you've grown up.
526
00:27:17,513 --> 00:27:19,073
Not only you took the knife for her,
527
00:27:20,203 --> 00:27:23,353
but after recognizing my man,
528
00:27:24,003 --> 00:27:25,443
you dared to protect her.
529
00:27:25,923 --> 00:27:27,833
Your Highness, if you kill someone
at the entrance of the Hanlin Academy,
530

tomorrow I,
as the person in charge of editing,
531
00:27:30,313 --> 00:27:31,643
will be taken away for questioning.
532
00:27:31,963 --> 00:27:33,113
Looks like
533
00:27:33,443 --> 00:27:34,883
it's my fault after all.
534
00:27:35,163 --> 00:27:36,593
I just want to remind you
535
00:27:37,833 --> 00:27:39,243
that if you want
to kill her in the future,
536
00:27:40,243 --> 00:27:41,483
don't involve me.
537
00:27:41,883 --> 00:27:43,203
Why are you playing dumb?
538
00:27:43,793 --> 00:27:45,403
Xiao Heng is by her side.
539
00:27:45,963 --> 00:27:48,403
As I miss this chance to end her once
and for all, there won't be another.
540
00:27:49,683 --> 00:27:50,553
In fact,
541
00:27:51,353 --> 00:27:52,793
you were the one who made me angry.
542
00:27:54,073 --> 00:27:55,833
Why didn't you inform me
543
00:27:56,723 --> 00:27:58,113
before agreeing
to perform a song with her?
544
00:27:58,683 --> 00:28:00,883
No one in Hanlin Academy wants
to perform with her.

00:28:01,793 --> 00:28:03,483
This is a task entrusted to me
by His Majesty.
546
00:28:04,073 --> 00:28:05,073
If I don't handle it well,
547
00:28:05,753 --> 00:28:06,883
I will definitely be punished.
548
00:28:07,353 --> 00:28:08,353
With me around,
549
00:28:08,883 --> 00:28:09,963
who dares to punish you?
550
00:28:10,003 --> 00:28:11,203
This matter concerns state affairs.
551
00:28:11,443 --> 00:28:13,553
I don't want
to be someone who relies on you.
552
00:28:15,643 --> 00:28:17,723
You wouldn't value me either.
553
00:28:18,513 --> 00:28:19,313
Besides,
554
00:28:19,793 --> 00:28:21,203
I have forgotten all past grievances
555
00:28:21,513 --> 00:28:22,483
and have a clear conscience.
556
00:28:23,003 --> 00:28:24,483
That's why I dare
to perform with Jiang Li.
557
00:28:25,003 --> 00:28:27,443
Avoidance is a sign
of a guilty conscience.
558
00:28:27,833 --> 00:28:31,273
You have a way with words,
559
00:28:31,883 --> 00:28:33,553
but you better speak the truth,
560
00:28:34,273 --> 00:28:37,313
or you know what I'm capable of.
561
00:28:41,883 --> 00:28:43,793
I dare not lie to you, Your Highness.
562
00:28:46,353 --> 00:28:47,553
In that case,
563
00:28:48,483 --> 00:28:50,683
focus on your state affairs.
564
00:28:50,963 --> 00:28:56,483
Let me see your clear conscience.
565
00:28:57,203 --> 00:28:58,513
After my house arrest ends,
566
00:28:59,443 --> 00:29:01,273
I will go meet her properly.
567
00:29:06,513 --> 00:29:09,003
[Honor the Way]
A few days ago, the Hanlin Academy
568
00:29:09,553 --> 00:29:11,683
was raided by thieves.
They were fugitives.
569
00:29:12,243 --> 00:29:14,203
Everyone should be cautious.
570
00:29:14,923 --> 00:29:16,273
Tomorrow is the day
the Grand Zhao delegation
571
00:29:16,273 --> 00:29:17,313
enters the capital.
572
00:29:17,643 --> 00:29:20,483
It's a critical time,
so everyone must not slack off.
573
00:29:20,683 --> 00:29:21,793
Give your full effort.
574
00:29:22,033 --> 00:29:22,923
Once everything goes smoothly,
575
00:29:23,113 --> 00:29:25,203
not only will everyone
receive rewards from His Majesty,
576
00:29:25,403 --> 00:29:28,483
but I'll also host a banquet
at home to treat everyone
577
00:29:28,643 --> 00:29:29,793
and comfort you all for your hard work.
578
00:29:29,963 --> 00:29:31,753
[Honor the Way]
Thank you, Mr. Shen.
579
00:29:32,163 --> 00:29:32,923
Prepare yourselves accordingly.
580
00:29:33,243 --> 00:29:34,313
We're going to be busy these few days.
581
00:29:34,443 --> 00:29:35,313
Yes, let's go.
582
00:29:35,313 --> 00:29:36,003
With you.
583
00:29:38,113 --> 00:29:40,033
Jiang Li, when everything ends,
584
00:29:40,163 --> 00:29:41,273
let's drink.
585
00:29:41,643 --> 00:29:43,513
Yes, we haven't gathered in ages.
586
00:29:43,833 --> 00:29:44,243
Sure.
587
00:29:44,513 --> 00:29:45,243
We'll take our leave now.
588
00:29:45,483 --> 00:29:46,403
There are still many things to do.
589
00:29:46,923 --> 00:29:47,483
Go.
590
00:29:47,793 --> 00:29:48,793
- Let's go.
- Okay.
591
00:29:50,203 --> 00:29:50,753
Jiang Li.
592
00:29:51,203 --> 00:29:51,793
Jiang Li.
593
00:29:56,553 --> 00:29:57,313
Let me tell you,
594
00:29:58,163 --> 00:30:00,243
these days have passed so quickly.
595
00:30:00,353 --> 00:30:01,513
I haven't had enough yet.
596
00:30:01,643 --> 00:30:03,963
Why? You've become addicted
to receiving gifts?
597
00:30:04,043 --> 00:30:05,963
She loved the things you sent.
598
00:30:06,353 --> 00:30:07,923
Lately, she's been smiling
at me a lot more.
599
00:30:08,483 --> 00:30:09,353
But honestly,
600
00:30:09,763 --> 00:30:11,393
as long as I receive
the rewards accordingly,
601
00:30:11,633 --> 00:30:13,153
I can continue to help you.
602
00:30:13,393 --> 00:30:13,923
Okay.
603
00:30:14,553 --> 00:30:15,203
Jiang Li.
604
00:30:15,593 --> 00:30:16,283
I'll take my leave now.
605
00:30:16,443 --> 00:30:17,043
Okay.
606
00:30:18,833 --> 00:30:19,443
Shijie.
607
00:30:20,523 --> 00:30:21,723
I heard it was because no one
608
00:30:21,723 --> 00:30:23,043
at the Hanlin Academy
wanted to perform with you,
609
00:30:23,393 --> 00:30:24,963
so you had to perform with Mr. Shen.
610
00:30:25,203 --> 00:30:27,243
But there seemed to be no conflict
611
00:30:27,553 --> 00:30:28,443
between you and Zhao Qi.
612
00:30:28,923 --> 00:30:32,073
Mr. Shen's talent is unmatched
in the Hanlin Academy.
613
00:30:32,793 --> 00:30:34,353
Performing with him
is naturally the best.
614
00:30:36,723 --> 00:30:37,633
I'm going to rehearse now.
615
00:30:47,793 --> 00:30:48,443
Your Majesty,
616
00:30:48,833 --> 00:30:49,443
the Ministry of Rites
617
00:30:49,443 --> 00:30:51,283
has already prepared everything
for welcoming
618
00:30:51,443 --> 00:30:52,203
the Grand Zhao delegation.
619
00:30:52,683 --> 00:30:54,873
Today, Secretary of Court for Dependencies
will personally greet the delegation to enter the city.
620
00:30:54,873 --> 00:30:55,593
[Govern the people, serve Heaven]
621
00:30:55,593 --> 00:30:56,523
They will stay
at the official guesthouse.
622
00:30:56,833 --> 00:30:59,683
After resting and settling in, they will
enter the palace for a banquet.
623
00:31:00,043 --> 00:31:00,923
Thank you, Official Shen.
624
00:31:25,323 --> 00:31:27,523
[Govern the people, serve Heaven]
625
00:31:30,683 --> 00:31:31,633
Have you arrested Chu Lan?
626
00:31:32,243 --> 00:31:33,553
We have basically narrowed it down
to the Capital Security Office.
627
00:31:33,723 --> 00:31:34,553
Capital Security Office?
628
00:31:35,833 --> 00:31:37,443
Have they also sided with Li Zhongnan?
629
00:31:38,553 --> 00:31:39,553
What about the Grand Zhao princess?
630
00:31:39,593 --> 00:31:40,793
She is now recuperating in my residence.
631
00:31:41,203 --> 00:31:44,073
[Govern the people, serve Heaven]
We'll suffer a drawback if this goes on.
632
00:31:44,593 --> 00:31:45,793
That's what I'm worried about too.
633
00:31:46,353 --> 00:31:47,283
The alliance is approaching,
634
00:31:47,283 --> 00:31:49,113
and Jiuyue has suffered a blow.
635
00:31:49,353 --> 00:31:50,793
With the assassin still at large,
636
00:31:51,353 --> 00:31:53,353
Grand Zhao is bound
to question our sincerity.
637
00:31:53,553 --> 00:31:56,393
If Lord Cheng, rises in rebellion
someday, it will add another variable.
638
00:31:56,633 --> 00:31:58,723
Let's use this opportunity to take down
the Capital Security Office.
639
00:31:59,243 --> 00:32:00,003
How can I allow
640
00:32:00,283 --> 00:32:01,793
my city gates
to be controlled by Lord Cheng?
641
00:32:02,113 --> 00:32:03,203
My secret guards alone
642
00:32:03,833 --> 00:32:05,113
cannot take down
the Capital Security Office.
643
00:32:05,243 --> 00:32:06,003
What do you want?
644
00:32:06,203 --> 00:32:07,353
I want the Longwu Army.
645
00:32:07,523 --> 00:32:08,313
Longwu Army?
646
00:32:12,633 --> 00:32:14,113
After training in secret for so long,
647
00:32:14,633 --> 00:32:15,763
are you going to expose them now?
648
00:32:15,963 --> 00:32:17,833
Since they have already
set up the stage,
649
00:32:18,553 --> 00:32:20,353
why don't we put on a good show
650
00:32:20,793 --> 00:32:22,113
as a deliberate act to warn them?
651
00:32:28,003 --> 00:32:28,793
Remember,
652
00:32:29,073 --> 00:32:31,283
city defense is crucial
for the stability of our capital.
653
00:32:31,833 --> 00:32:34,203
Please always remember
your mission. Do you understand?
654
00:32:34,763 --> 00:32:36,153
I'll complete the mission successfully.
655
00:32:36,443 --> 00:32:37,113
Good.
656
00:32:37,553 --> 00:32:38,393
Grand Chancellor Li.
657
00:32:39,243 --> 00:32:41,873
How did Duke Su find the time
to come to the Capital Security Office?
658
00:32:42,043 --> 00:32:42,963
I receive intelligence
659
00:32:43,523 --> 00:32:46,683
there is an assassin
from the northern border hiding here.
660
00:32:46,683 --> 00:32:48,793
Duke Su, do you have evidence?
661
00:32:48,873 --> 00:32:52,793
Grand Chancellor Li, my specialty
lies in intelligence gathering.
662
00:32:53,353 --> 00:32:55,003
The evidence is within
the Capital Security Office.
663
00:32:55,353 --> 00:32:56,723
[Yuan Jiang]
We'll find out after I investigate.
664
00:32:58,523 --> 00:32:59,153
Come!
665
00:33:06,043 --> 00:33:08,963
Duke Su, the Capital Security Office
is not an easy target.
666
00:33:09,283 --> 00:33:10,723
Your display of power elsewhere
667
00:33:11,113 --> 00:33:13,043
might not work as effectively here.
668
00:33:24,113 --> 00:33:26,923
By order of the emperor,
Longwu Army is conducting a search
669
00:33:27,243 --> 00:33:29,313
of the Capital Security Office.
General Yuan, please open the gates.
670
00:33:29,553 --> 00:33:31,763
If it is an imperial order,
where is the decree?
671
00:33:31,763 --> 00:33:33,313
General Yuan, you seem to be confused.
672
00:33:33,593 --> 00:33:37,003
The Longwu Army has the privilege
to act first and report later.
673
00:33:40,873 --> 00:33:44,113
Xiao Heng, the Capital Security
Office's guards protect the capital.
674
00:33:44,113 --> 00:33:44,923
This isn't someplace else.
675
00:33:45,313 --> 00:33:47,153
Please bring the decree
with you, Duke Su.
676
00:33:47,353 --> 00:33:48,313
Search the place.
677
00:33:48,683 --> 00:33:51,833
Kill anyone who dares to stop you.
678
00:33:52,043 --> 00:33:52,523
Search the place!
679
00:33:52,593 --> 00:33:53,313
Yes!
680
00:33:58,073 --> 00:34:01,553
Grand Chancellor Li, you should
stay away. Weapons have no eyes.
681
00:34:01,873 --> 00:34:02,923
They might accidentally
682
00:34:03,633 --> 00:34:05,523
kill you first and report later.
683
00:34:05,833 --> 00:34:09,153
Duke Su, have you considered
the consequences?
684
00:34:09,273 --> 00:34:11,043
When the flood arrives,
685
00:34:11,713 --> 00:34:13,483
don't let the mice escape.
686
00:34:13,593 --> 00:34:14,153
Yes.
687
00:34:46,883 --> 00:34:48,153
How dare you return?
688
00:34:48,323 --> 00:34:51,323
This time, you can't escape.
I brought my lackeys along.
689
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:54,593
They are harsh and specialize
in dealing with defeated enemies.
690
00:34:55,233 --> 00:34:55,803
Go!
691
00:35:19,483 --> 00:35:21,713
Lord Cheng's subordinate escaped again.
692
00:35:22,073 --> 00:35:23,553
The relationship between
Chu Lan and Lord Cheng
693
00:35:23,803 --> 00:35:25,043
is akin to yours with me.
694
00:35:25,403 --> 00:35:26,323
It isn't easy to catch him.
695
00:35:26,523 --> 00:35:27,633
We can take this opportunity
696
00:35:28,003 --> 00:35:30,003
to replace everyone
in the Capital Security Office.
697
00:35:30,843 --> 00:35:32,113
I didn't hold back yesterday.
698
00:35:32,153 --> 00:35:33,843
Quite a number of people have
to recuperate at home.
699
00:35:33,963 --> 00:35:37,923
[Govern the people, serve Heaven]
700
00:35:37,923 --> 00:35:40,633
Because of this incident,
many officials have accused you.
701
00:35:42,883 --> 00:35:44,323
Yuan Jiang privately harbored a fugitive
702
00:35:44,483 --> 00:35:46,593
and even allowed his subordinates
to release Chu Lan.
703
00:35:47,273 --> 00:35:49,523
This accusation alone
is enough to silence them.
704
00:35:49,523 --> 00:35:52,113
He's quite clever. He found
a subordinate to take the blame
705
00:35:52,553 --> 00:35:53,633
and resigned from his post in disgrace.
706
00:35:53,803 --> 00:35:54,633
Do you need me to interrogate him?
707
00:35:55,113 --> 00:35:55,963
With foreign envoys in the capital,
708
00:35:56,323 --> 00:35:57,963
now is not the time for us
to handle internal cases.
709
00:35:58,153 --> 00:35:59,443
Reclaiming control
of the Capital Security Office
710
00:35:59,673 --> 00:36:01,593
has already neutralized
one of Lord Cheng's moves.
711
00:36:01,883 --> 00:36:04,923
We'll settle the scores with Yuan Jiang
and Li Zhongnan in due time.
712
00:36:15,273 --> 00:36:15,843
Father.
713
00:36:16,233 --> 00:36:17,673
Who leaked the news about Chu Lan
714
00:36:17,673 --> 00:36:18,923
being in the Capital Security Office?
715
00:36:19,323 --> 00:36:20,273
I'm not sure.
716
00:36:20,483 --> 00:36:22,043
The Capital Security Office
is heavily guarded.
717
00:36:22,363 --> 00:36:23,323
Besides them,
718
00:36:23,323 --> 00:36:24,843
only the three of us knew about this.
719
00:36:25,003 --> 00:36:26,843
Chu Lan couldn't have
leaked it himself, could he?
720
00:36:26,963 --> 00:36:27,553
Father.
721
00:36:27,713 --> 00:36:30,483
If it wasn't him,
then it must be one of us.
722
00:36:30,593 --> 00:36:32,273
It's either me or you.
723
00:36:32,963 --> 00:36:33,633
Father.
724
00:36:36,593 --> 00:36:37,403
It's Xiao Heng.
725
00:36:37,843 --> 00:36:39,273
I find it hard to swallow the fact
726
00:36:39,403 --> 00:36:41,003
that Xiao Heng repeatedly sabotaged
our major plans before.
727
00:36:41,193 --> 00:36:42,883
Those in the Capital Security Office
are not to be underestimated.
728
00:36:42,883 --> 00:36:44,403
How many secret guards
could Xiao Heng possibly have?
729
00:36:44,523 --> 00:36:46,443
He wouldn't be Yuan Jiang's match,
730
00:36:46,633 --> 00:36:48,593
which was why I used Chu Lan as bait
731
00:36:48,633 --> 00:36:49,633
to lure him over.
732
00:36:49,713 --> 00:36:50,633
It also gave me a chance
733
00:36:50,633 --> 00:36:52,673

of the Capital Security Office.

Despite being a fool,
you took action on your own.

they could even be put into action.

Now that the Capital Security Office
is out of our control,

Are you doing well?

Did they catch the culprit?
770
00:38:59,113 --> 00:39:00,073
Who did this?
771
00:39:01,003 --> 00:39:02,483
Fortunately, with Duke Su's help,
772
00:39:03,113 --> 00:39:04,043
I'm fine.
773
00:39:04,713 --> 00:39:06,273
Duke Su is still
investigating the matter.
774
00:39:06,633 --> 00:39:08,843
Don't blame him.
775
00:39:09,113 --> 00:39:10,673
Since you trust Duke Su this much,
776
00:39:11,273 --> 00:39:12,803
I won't pursue the matter.
777
00:39:14,883 --> 00:39:15,963
However, I must demand an explanation
778
00:39:16,233 --> 00:39:18,003
from Duke Su in the future.
779
00:39:18,113 --> 00:39:18,673

prepared collection of classics
