This is not only a family matter, it's also a matter of the country. 118 00:09:25,710 --> 00:09:28,770 Your Majesty just took full of control of governing the empire. The Imperial court isn't stable yet. 119 00:09:28,770 --> 00:09:29,780 If the inner palace (Imperial harem) will also have a change in leadership, 120 00:09:29,780 --> 00:09:32,400 it will surely bring trouble to the Imperial court. 121 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,270 I ask Your Majesty to rethink this carefully and take back your decree. 122 00:09:35,270 --> 00:09:39,170 My decision is final.

The grandfather of Empress Guo, Guo Chong, 128 00:10:05,170 --> 00:10:10,270 had once helped the Great Emperor Taizu achieve his magnificent ambition after starting a rebellion. 129 00:10:10,270 --> 00:10:15,840 When Guo Chong died, the Great Emperor personally attended his funeral and conferred him the title "Grand Adviser". 130 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,190 If Your Majesty insists on deposing the Empress, I fear that you're going against the intentions of your ancestor. 131 00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:22,010 The Imperial Decree has been promulgated, how can I still take it back and change it? 132 00:10:22,010 --> 00:10:24,080 Go to the streets and ask around. 133 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,670 If I still don't depose the Empress, what will happen to my reputation? Leave now. 134 00:10:30,820 --> 00:10:34,640 It is part of my job to give His Majesty advice. 135 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,470 I really hope that His Majesty can take back your decree. 136 00:10:42,140 --> 00:10:47,390 Lord Fan and Lord Guo, it's better if you two just go back to your manors now. It's already late. 137 00:10:47,390 --> 00:10:50,500 You two should go back and rest. 138 00:10:55,590 --> 00:10:57,750 His Majesty is also tired today. 139 00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:59,920 It's also time for him to rest. 140 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:04,770 Don't wait for His Majesty to get mad and have you two kicked out of the palace. 141 00:11:19,250 --> 00:11:21,730 I will take my leave. 142 00:11:21,730 --> 00:11:31,310 Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com 143 00:11:41,580 --> 00:11:43,700 Lords, come inside to have fun. 144 00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:45,240 Come.

Please go in. 146 00:11:46,870 --> 00:11:48,170 Come. 147 00:11:48,170 --> 00:11:52,540 Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon 148 00:11:54,430 --> 00:11:58,120 I still wasn't able to stop His Majesty from deposing the Empress. 149 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,850 His Majesty has so many consorts in his Imperial harem. 150 00:11:59,850 --> 00:12:03,260 It's no big deal to confer one and then depose another one. 151 00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:07,800 There were also a lot of Emperors who have deposed their Empress out of a moment of anger. 152 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,990 But deposing the Empress just because of a slap, 153 00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:16,460 even if the other officials don't say it, how can such a reason be satisfying? 154 00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:18,180 Lord Fan, there's something that you don't know. 155 00:12:18,180 --> 00:12:21,300 Royal Uncle has never liked the Empress. 156 00:12:22,660 --> 00:12:25,860 When Royal Uncle was fifteen years old, while Empress Dowager Liu was still in control, 157 00:12:25,860 --> 00:12:28,110 she conferred Consort Guo as the Empress. 158 00:12:28,110 --> 00:12:31,820 And the Consort Zhang that His Majesty loves got only conferred as Cairen. (T/N: fifth concubine rank) 159 00:12:31,820 --> 00:12:37,530 With the help of Empress Dowager Liu, Empress Guo controlled the Imperial harem and acted in an arbitrary fashion. 160 00:12:37,530 --> 00:12:42,060 Since then on, Royal Uncle has endured his discontent and bears grudges about this matter. 161 00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:45,460 Looks like His Majesty also has his own problems. 162 00:12:45,460 --> 00:12:51,210 Brother Fan, you didn't try to understand His Majesty's intentions and insisted that he keep the Empress by his side. 163 00:12:51,210 --> 00:12:54,240 That is clearly making the wrong expression and connection. (T/N: a laughable mistake) 164 00:12:55,050 --> 00:12:57,840 His Majesty is still a man. 165 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,620 Wanting his beloved Noble Consort to fly side by side with him is also understandable. 166 00:13:02,620 --> 00:13:05,140 Lord Fan doesn't understand the romantic sentiments between men and women. 167 00:13:05,140 --> 00:13:09,440 It can't be helped that your stubborn contradictions would anger His Majesty. 168 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,170 His Majesty just took full control of the government and he already deposed his Empress. 169 00:13:12,170 --> 00:13:14,680 This will surely damage his prestige. 170 00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:22,950 Fan Manor 171 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,740 It's already morning! 172 00:13:48,740 --> 00:13:51,450 Oh, no!
