Episode 30
3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,970
Brother Su, regardless of what you discuss with my father today and regardless of what my father's decision is,
4
00:00:14,970 --> 00:00:18,890
I think my father has his reasons.
5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,760
Please, enter.
6
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:39,380
Father, I shall take my leave.
7
00:00:39,380 --> 00:00:41,080
Wait.
8
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,630
You will join us.
9
00:00:43,630 --> 00:00:48,710
Whatever we discuss today, you may be present for it.
10
00:00:56,700 --> 00:01:01,100
The Crown Prince is now confined. Prince Yu finally got his wish.
11
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:05,320
He should be flushed with success, but why is it that you don't look so good?
12
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:09,470
Brother Su's old ailment will always act up in the Winter.
13
00:01:09,470 --> 00:01:14,350
Mr. Su you are so young, how did you get such an ailment?
14
00:01:14,350 --> 00:01:17,790
It is because I am young I did not take care of my health.
15
00:01:17,790 --> 00:01:19,660
Sorry to have concerned you, Marquise.
16
00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:21,870
It's really hard on you, Mr. Su.
17
00:01:21,870 --> 00:01:23,730
To still have to visit on behalf of Prince Yu
18
00:01:23,730 --> 00:01:28,070
even when you're unwell and so close to the New Year.
19
00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:30,620
You have been much troubled.
20
00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:32,770
Just a moment ago Your Excellency said
21
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:34,890
that Prince Yu should be flushed with success.
22
00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:37,530
Were those words sincere?
23
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:39,580
How is it not sincere?
24
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:44,100
Your Excellency has been in the Court for many decades,
25
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:48,240
In addition to courage and resourcefulness, your perception is second to none.
26
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,910
While other's cannot see through Prince Yu's situation,
27
00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:55,400
could your Excellency not see through it either?
28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,910
The Crown Prince has fallen, his Highness Prince Yu feels lonely. He wants to find a new rival.
29
00:02:02,910 --> 00:02:04,790
Your Excellency is really perceptive.
30
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:13,020
The favor I owe you for saving me is still there.
31
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:17,510
But as I said, Prince Yu and the Crown Prince is the same. There is no difference.
32
00:02:17,510 --> 00:02:19,720
I will not help anyone.
33
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:25,640
I hope Mr. Su, does not forget what I said.
34
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:29,640
What your Excellency said, I naturally remember.
35
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:33,560
But the situation now is different to before.
36
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,360
Prince Yu's real opponent hasn't been the Crown Prince for a long time.
37
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,230
I will not help Prince Yu to deal with the Crown Prince.
38
00:02:41,230 --> 00:02:44,340
So I definitely will not help Prince Yu to deal with Prince Jing.
39
00:02:44,340 --> 00:02:46,810
I've not finished talking yet.
40
00:02:46,810 --> 00:02:51,870
How can your Excellency assume that I've come to ask you to help Prince Yu?
41
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,080
Are you really not asking me to help Prince Yu to deal with Prince...
42
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:02,480
Brother Su, you paying a visit to father,
43
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,290
Could it be that you want to ask father
44
00:03:05,290 --> 00:03:07,640
to help with Prince Jing?
45
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,180
Your Excellency, are you willing?
46
00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:46,800
Current politics is a mess, the Inner Palace is dangerous, people are unpredictable and the Emperor is biased.
47
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,560
In this situation, Prince Jing can't win over Prince Yu.
48
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,910
I live comfortably and leisurely,
49
00:03:54,910 --> 00:03:59,260
but now you want to involve me in a fight that has no chance of victory.
50
00:04:01,500 --> 00:04:03,110
Yes.
51
00:04:03,110 --> 00:04:05,350
The Empress is my sister.
52
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:07,400
Prince Yu is the Empress' adopted son.
53
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,070
You ask me to assist Prince Jing to fight against Prince Yu. That is irrational.
54
00:04:11,070 --> 00:04:13,490
Indeed.
55
00:04:13,490 --> 00:04:15,910
Its irrational and has no chance of victory
56
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:18,140
why did you request me to do so?
57
00:04:18,140 --> 00:04:19,740
Your Excellency,
58
00:04:22,900 --> 00:04:25,420
are you willing?
59
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:52,400
I am.
60
00:05:03,900 --> 00:05:07,810
My Lord, this Liuxi House is used as a Summer getaway.
61
00:05:07,810 --> 00:05:11,830
It's quite chilly to come here in the Winter.
62
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,860
Even though we've come in the wrong season, but this place is quiet.
63
00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:20,810
Suitable for private meetings.
64
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,140
Are you sure Xia Jiang will be here?
65
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:32,480
Since my Lord requested it, he will come
66
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,140
Not to mention the relationship between Xia Jiang and your Shifu,
67
00:05:36,140 --> 00:05:38,540
If it's not because we oppose Prince Jing
68
00:05:38,540 --> 00:05:43,190
Xuanjing Bureau would never ever have private contact with a Prince that's fighting for the crown.
69
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,720
It's never about me.
70
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,580
Regardless of what for, as long as he comes then it's good.
71
00:06:04,300 --> 00:06:06,570
Thank you, your Excellency for your willingness.
72
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:12,080
You are not surprised with my choice.
73
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,280
Your Excellency, you are from a Noble House,
74
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:18,130
was well-known and powerful in your time.
75
00:06:18,130 --> 00:06:22,000
How can warm blood turn cold? T/N. to loose your fervor and passion
76
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,210
Though the blood is still warm but the heart has turned cold.
77
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,720
It's because you've lost heart in the Emperor, the Crown Prince and Prince Yu
78
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,470
that's why I know you would agree.
79
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,900
Yujin.
80
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:46,200
Father, I don't understand current politics.
81
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,390
But I am from the Yan family. I know how to differentiate between good and evil, right and wrong.
82
00:06:51,390 --> 00:06:55,060
As for why you agreed to Sir Su,
83
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,630
I understand already.
84
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,010
I have made such a decision today
85
00:07:06,010 --> 00:07:09,160
but success or failure is unknown.
86
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800
If any dangerous situation arises,
87
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,560
you and I are flesh and blood, father and son.
88
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,910
It will implicate you.
89
00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:22,060
Father, we are family,
90
00:07:22,060 --> 00:07:24,740
there is no need to speak of burdening me.
91
00:07:24,740 --> 00:07:27,060
Father, whatever your decision may be
92
00:07:27,060 --> 00:07:30,570
I will follow it with no regrets.
93
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:41,400
The Yan House, is credited with bringing forth three Imperial Tutors, two Chancellors...
94
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,010
Certain things have seeped into the bones beyond what words can describe.
95
00:07:46,010 --> 00:07:49,600
Yujin, although you are involve in Court politics,
96
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,140
but your mindset and vision is extraordinary.
97
00:07:54,140 --> 00:07:58,500
Your Excellency, please rest assured, I will do my best
98
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:01,370
to ensure that neither of you suffer any difficulties.
99
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:05,400
A gentleman's promise is till death.
100
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,360
Other things are not worth mentioning.
101
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,790
What do you need me to do? Please tell me.
102
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:18,280
Since it's clear that the fight is now between Prince Jing and Prince Yu,
103
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,380
The courtiers hearts would be set afloat, but with Prince Jing's personality,
104
00:08:22,380 --> 00:08:25,570
he would not form a party like Prince Yu,
105
00:08:25,570 --> 00:08:29,690
and cause faction fight since it'll further deplete Da Liang's power.
106
00:08:30,900 --> 00:08:33,490
- But... - I understand.
107
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,550
While Prince Jing doesn't want to form factions,
108
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:40,840
but the courtiers all have their own thoughts. We need to know what they are.
109
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,770
It's nearly the New Years, a good time to visit people.
110
00:08:44,770 --> 00:08:49,040
If there is anything that you or Prince Jing cannot not do,
111
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,580
I will do it on your behalf.
112
00:08:53,800 --> 00:09:00,230
Your Excellency is second to none in terms of perception and insight.
113
00:09:00,230 --> 00:09:04,230
Prince Jing will benefit much from your assistance.
114
00:09:04,230 --> 00:09:06,230
Sir, you are too kind.
115
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,500
I am unable to see through you even as you sit before me.
116
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:17,870
I want to ask you a question. Mr. Su are you a
117
00:09:17,870 --> 00:09:20,890
former member of Prince Qi's household?
118
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,250
Father, why do you suddenly ask this question?
119
00:09:27,250 --> 00:09:30,400
Mr. Su, how could he a former member of Prince Qi's household?
120
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,790
More than 10 years ago... Didn't the Prince Qi's household...
121
00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:36,330
Yes, they did.
122
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,540
My question just now is a bit abrupt,
123
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:44,360
but I can think of no other reason
124
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,240
why Mr Su would help Prince Jing.
125
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,780
For fame and power, aren't they all reasons?
126
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,190
I may have only met you only on two occasions, but from what I can tell,
127
00:09:59,190 --> 00:10:04,230
fame and power is too paltry, it is not your style.
128
00:10:04,230 --> 00:10:05,750
You are too kind your Excellency.
129
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:11,410
Jiangzuo Alliance has it's place in the pugilist world, Chief Mei, you have your own pride.
130
00:10:11,410 --> 00:10:16,590
The lure of fame and power, the forces of Imperial Power, you would naturally dismiss them.
131
00:10:16,590 --> 00:10:19,030
I thought it over,
132
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:22,950
the only possible reason is because of ties in the past.
133
00:10:27,700 --> 00:10:33,400
I was a youth who admired Prince Qi, and wanted to support him.
134
00:10:34,700 --> 00:10:40,160
That motivation has not changed, hence why you have the Mei Changsu of today.
135
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,070
That is all.
136
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,480
The past is in the past, its ill-advised to dig too deep.
137
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,610
It was just a simple question,
138
00:10:53,610 --> 00:10:57,680
please don't take to heart.
139
00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:15,130
What time is it now? If he is not coming, I see no reason to wait any more.
140
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:21,720
If only Your Highness was as patient as you were when trying to win over the Divine Talent,
141
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,200
then you wouldn't be as anxious as you are now.
142
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:38,050
How many divine talents are there in the world?
143
00:11:38,050 --> 00:11:41,870
And how many would be willing to assist me?
144
00:11:41,870 --> 00:11:46,730
If they could be either, then I'm willing to wait how ever long is required.
145
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,650
The question is, can Xia Jiang really do it?
146
00:11:51,650 --> 00:11:55,860
It looks like Prince Yu still does not have enough faith in me.
147
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,800
Director Xia has arrived.
148
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:19,690
In meeting with your highness today,
149
00:12:19,690 --> 00:12:23,490
there is one thing I need to make clear first.
150
00:12:23,490 --> 00:12:27,170
Director Xia, there is no problem. The matter between us, has nothing to do with faction fights.
151
00:12:27,170 --> 00:12:30,090
Of course it has nothing to do with it.
152
00:12:30,090 --> 00:12:33,590
That is because the Crown Prince is not worth consideration anymore.
153
00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:38,550
Right now, the only competition in your eyes is Prince Jing. As for me
154
00:12:38,550 --> 00:12:41,190
I just have to help you get rid of Prince Jing.
155
00:12:41,190 --> 00:12:46,100
Even if this throne is not you're Highness', it eventually will be.
156
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:51,390
The Emperor's of Da Liang have always trusted and relied on Xuanjing Bureau.
157
00:12:51,390 --> 00:12:55,720
I would be no exception should I ascend the throne.
158
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:03,160
With both Director Xia and Prince Yu working together
159
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,750
there is nothing that cannot be accomplished.
160
00:13:08,300 --> 00:13:11,320
Father has always believed in the method of counterbalancing.
161
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,950
In the past he used me to counterbalance the Crown Prince, and now he supports Prince Jing to counterbalance me.
162
00:13:15,950 --> 00:13:18,190
It is as he's always done.
163
00:13:18,190 --> 00:13:20,890
But now the six ministries are following suite and supporting the new lord.
164
00:13:20,890 --> 00:13:24,650
While my rank is higher than Prince Jing, but
165
00:13:24,650 --> 00:13:30,520
if it isn't because Father has intention to maintain it, my power in the Court would be long gone.
166
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,460
I wonder what strategies Director Xia has to counter this.
167
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,070
According to what BanRuo said,
168
00:13:39,070 --> 00:13:42,810
hasn't Prince Yu already found Prince Jing's weakness?
169
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,590
Even if I've found it, it doesn't matter. There is no way to act on it.
170
00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:52,780
It is an old case that not only Prince Jing cannot let go of
171
00:13:52,780 --> 00:13:56,780
it is still rests uneasily on Father's mind.
172
00:13:56,780 --> 00:14:01,800
I cannot bring up this case with Father without a reason.
173
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,250
In the worse case, nothing may happen to Prince Jing, but instead I would be the one in trouble.
174
00:14:06,250 --> 00:14:09,830
Since we have no reason to bring up the case,
175
00:14:09,830 --> 00:14:13,890
then naturally we need to find some reason for it.
176
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,080
Director Xia you indeed have a plan.
177
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,770
It looks like you have something on had that can serve as a key to bring this old case.
178
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:33,490
Chief, you must be tired today you should rest early.
179
00:14:33,490 --> 00:14:36,540
Since Tong Lu is here, I don't mind hearing some update.
180
00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:40,380
If there isn't anything important I will of course allow the two of you to manage it,
181
00:14:40,380 --> 00:14:43,710
and I will go to sleep. Let him in.
182
00:14:43,710 --> 00:14:45,190
Yes.
183
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Come in, Tong Lu.
184
00:15:05,700 --> 00:15:07,140
Chief.
185
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:11,040
You've brought in the cold air. Sit closer to the fire while you speak.
186
00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:16,050
In my haste I've brought in the cold air, I hope the Chief can forgive me.
187
00:15:16,050 --> 00:15:17,050
No worries.
188
00:15:17,050 --> 00:15:19,710
Have some hot tea first.
189
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:21,370
Okay.
190
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,930
Drink slowly, you will burn yourself.
191
00:15:26,930 --> 00:15:28,440
It's okay.
192
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:31,920
Chief, there is not much news today.
193
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,290
Mr. Shisan asked me to come here to inform you of two things.
194
00:15:36,290 --> 00:15:40,950
After Xie Yu arrived at the penal colony we've sent people to shadow him.
195
00:15:40,950 --> 00:15:45,460
There were a couple of attempts on his life but they didn't attack too fiercely.
196
00:15:45,460 --> 00:15:49,130
It might just be probes.
197
00:15:49,130 --> 00:15:52,130
As long as Grand Princess Liyang still has the pouch
198
00:15:52,130 --> 00:15:55,360
Xia Jiang won't let Xie Yu die so easily.
199
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:00,940
Have more people watch over Grand Princess Liyang.
200
00:16:00,940 --> 00:16:04,620
Have Prince Jing's Capital Protrols increase the defenses around the Princess' Manor.
201
00:16:04,620 --> 00:16:09,520
For now, Jingrui is not by her side. We need to be more careful.
202
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,450
Whats the second thing?
203
00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:22,120
Mr. Shisan has confirmed that Nie Feng's wife, Xia Dong, has been out of the capital for the last few months.
204
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,290
She went to Jiaxing Border Pass
205
00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:29,010
The general at Jiaxing Border Pass Wei Qi has been Xie Yu's left lieutenant.
206
00:16:29,010 --> 00:16:33,200
He was transferred seven years ago. Xia Dong probably want to investigate
207
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,230
whether or not Wei Qi know about the old case.
208
00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:39,140
But, before Mrs Nie arrived Jiaxing Boarder Pass
209
00:16:39,140 --> 00:16:41,760
Wei Qi has died in sudden.
210
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,790
Have you found out who did it?
211
00:16:43,790 --> 00:16:46,740
Possibly a plant from Xuanjing Bureau.
212
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,540
At the time when Xie Yu went to Mei cliff, Wei Qi was not with him.
213
00:16:51,540 --> 00:16:55,460
He doesn't know much of inside information. Xia Jiang even want to silence him.
214
00:16:55,460 --> 00:16:58,420
Didn't want Xia Dong to know even a single detail.
215
00:16:58,420 --> 00:17:00,880
Xia Jiang is really acuity.
216
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,970
Even though Sister Dong didn't do anything suspicious, it still roused his suspicion.
217
00:17:04,970 --> 00:17:08,500
Thankfully Xia Jiang only thinks that Xia Dong is suspicious
218
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:11,910
and does not know that she has actually heard Xie Yu's confession.
219
00:17:11,910 --> 00:17:17,000
Otherwise, he would not be so kind.
220
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,080
- You must keep a watch of Sister Dong's safety. - Yes.
221
00:17:22,100 --> 00:17:25,950
Tong Lu, if there is nothing else you should head hom early.
222
00:17:25,950 --> 00:17:31,650
Tell Mr. Shisan, Qin Banruo would not give up so easily, do not let up his guard.
223
00:17:31,650 --> 00:17:33,220
Yes.
224
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,860
What's wrong?
225
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,420
If there's something, say it.
226
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:08,340
Chief, do you feel that there is something off with Tong Lu lately?
227
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:10,460
What is different?
228
00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:13,550
Lately I found him to be more energetic.
229
00:18:13,550 --> 00:18:16,880
Before, each time he comes here, he seems to want to stay for as long as he can.
230
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,860
But the last few times, he seems more rushed.
231
00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:24,420
As if he wants to leave as quickly as he can. It is different from how he was before.
232
00:18:24,420 --> 00:18:26,790
Do find anything odd?
233
00:18:26,790 --> 00:18:29,840
I haven't noticed anything,
234
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:35,440
but, Zhen Ping has good senses when it comes to seeing things others cannot see.
235
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:46,470
Zhen Ping you are meticulous. If you've noticed something there must be a reason.
236
00:18:46,470 --> 00:18:48,680
Have Mr. Shisan be more careful then.
237
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,490
Yes.
238
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,600
It's so late, you are still here.
239
00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:16,190
Just one wall separates us, it's very close.
240
00:19:16,190 --> 00:19:18,800
I thought I would wait for you a bit.
241
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,790
I hope you won't think its annoying.
242
00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:37,230
You know it's not that. Thank you for waiting.
243
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:45,000
If I don't see you everyday, I feel empty.
244
00:19:47,900 --> 00:19:52,400
Was the shop busy today? You came back so late.
245
00:19:53,550 --> 00:19:57,880
You must be hungry, I'll get you some food.
246
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:00,900
Jun Niang.
247
00:20:02,900 --> 00:20:06,800
My uncle must give me permission for marriage.
248
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,410
I will go see him tomorrow, and tell him that I wish to marry you.
249
00:20:14,500 --> 00:20:21,690
I am a widow, would your uncle allow it?
250
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,840
My uncle isn't so bound by common customs.
251
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,930
And also, he knows about you.
252
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,790
How does he know about me?
253
00:20:36,790 --> 00:20:42,140
When you first moved here, I told him about you. He said there isn't any issues with you.
254
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:50,400
I think my uncle might be a bit surprised initially but eventually he'll agree.
255
00:20:54,100 --> 00:20:56,200
I will listen to you.
256
00:21:07,930 --> 00:21:10,700
Chief Director.
257
00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:12,270
Speak.
258
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:19,690
After Officer Xia Dong left Jiaxing border pass, she went to Linjiang city and stayed for 3 days. She didn't come in contact with anyone.
259
00:21:19,690 --> 00:21:22,590
After that, she went south on Wuan road.
260
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,240
And then?
261
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,690
Afterwards... we lost track.
262
00:21:32,690 --> 00:21:35,480
You are only tracking.
263
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,890
There was no other tasks, how did you loose track?
264
00:21:38,890 --> 00:21:43,100
Please be appeased Director. Officer Xia Dong is an Executive Officer,
265
00:21:43,100 --> 00:21:46,490
The rest of us, we cannot compare to her.
266
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,370
Dispatch people to survey the Capital city.
267
00:21:52,370 --> 00:21:55,580
If you catch signs of her returning report it to me immediately.
268
00:21:55,580 --> 00:21:57,410
Yes.
269
00:21:57,410 --> 00:22:01,230
What is the situation with Grand Princess Liyang?
270
00:22:01,230 --> 00:22:04,480
Recently, apart from praying for the Grand Empress Dowager
271
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,660
and performing some rituals for Xie Qi. She usually does not leave her mansion.
272
00:22:08,660 --> 00:22:11,800
The Capital Patrols have also increased surveillance around her mansion.
273
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,500
I have not had the opportunity to take action yet.
274
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,830
Xie Yu was just exiled.
275
00:22:21,830 --> 00:22:24,610
If something should happen to the Princess Liyang now
276
00:22:24,610 --> 00:22:28,230
his Majesty might suspect that someone is doing something.
277
00:22:28,230 --> 00:22:32,490
Don't do anything for now. Just keep a watch on her.
278
00:22:32,490 --> 00:22:34,260
Yes, I understand.
279
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,330
- Go now. - Yes.
280
00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:49,660
Since I dare answer your summons today and to work with you, I naturally have something in my hands.
281
00:22:49,660 --> 00:22:52,510
While it cannot raise the kind storm that happened 13 years ago,
282
00:22:52,510 --> 00:22:56,310
but if we use it well, we'll be able to catch Prince Jing off guard.
283
00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:58,830
And send him back to into the ditch.
284
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,300
Director Xia you are very confident
285
00:23:04,300 --> 00:23:07,630
so it must mean what you have must be quite important.
286
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,140
Please explain the details to me.
287
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:19,110
Prince Yu, do you remember the young Marshal Lin Shu of the Chiyan Army
288
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,050
How could I forget.
289
00:23:23,050 --> 00:23:29,240
At that time, there was no one in the capital who could compare with that prodigy Lin Shu.
290
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,210
For him to have ended like that
291
00:23:33,210 --> 00:23:35,300
it was because he was too immodest.
292
00:23:35,300 --> 00:23:40,810
By Lin Shu's side, there were two Lieutenants.
293
00:23:40,810 --> 00:23:44,210
This I don't quite remember.
294
00:23:44,210 --> 00:23:46,680
There was one by the surname of Wei.
295
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,470
Wei Zheng.
296
00:23:52,700 --> 00:23:55,980
That year, when the Chiyan army was exterminated at Mei cliff,
297
00:23:55,980 --> 00:24:00,510
whether it be Lin Shu or his Lieutenant, they should all have died, no?
298
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:07,240
When the Chiyan army was exterminated, by his Majesty's orders, I was present as well.
299
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,530
so I know the circumstances of that time very well.
300
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,120
Lin Xie had 18 lieutenants directly under his command.
301
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:19,610
They were pretty much completely eliminated.
302
00:24:19,610 --> 00:24:23,430
But the corpses were heavily damaged and hard to identify.
303
00:24:23,430 --> 00:24:28,230
Of the officers ranked above brigadier general, there was two whom we did not find their Chiyan wrist band. T/N. it's like their dog tag
304
00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:31,010
One of them was Wei Zheng.
305
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:40,780
You are suspecting that this criminal Wei Zheng survived?
306
00:24:40,780 --> 00:24:46,880
I have already confirmed, that the criminal Wei Zheng is alive.
307
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,820
Where is he now?
308
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:54,680
Your Highness have your of Yaowang Valley to the west of the Empire? T/N. Yaowang - King of Medicine
309
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,180
Yaowang Valley's Chief, Su Tianshu, he's 7th on Langya list of the Rich.
310
00:24:58,180 --> 00:25:02,570
Over half of the medicine in circulation is from there. How could I not know.
311
00:25:02,570 --> 00:25:06,430
Su Tianshu adopted a son at some point.
312
00:25:06,430 --> 00:25:09,620
In the last few year, he started handling matters in the valley.
313
00:25:09,620 --> 00:25:13,740
His name is Su Xuan, have you heard of him?
314
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:16,670
I have heard a little.
315
00:25:16,670 --> 00:25:21,340
This young chief may not be as famous, but he married, Yun Piaomiao
316
00:25:21,340 --> 00:25:24,770
who is the only daughter of the famous medicinal Yun family from Xunyang.
317
00:25:24,770 --> 00:25:28,020
Even in the Palace many people talk about it.
318
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:31,910
Highest form of seclusion is in the Court; The golden mean of seclusion is in Cities. T/N. derived from the poem "Zhong Ying" by Bai Juyi (772—846)
319
00:25:31,910 --> 00:25:36,580
Su Xuan's background and his eye catching marriage
320
00:25:36,580 --> 00:25:39,310
managed to divert Xuanjing Bureau's suspicions.
321
00:25:39,310 --> 00:25:42,860
So I did not take notice of him for all these years.
322
00:25:42,860 --> 00:25:46,650
Are you saying that this Su Xuan is the criminal Wei Zheng?
323
00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:57,950
Good, good.
324
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:03,800
A criminal from the old case is still alive. This is perfect.
325
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:08,610
Where is this person now?
326
00:26:08,610 --> 00:26:12,260
Wei Zheng is of the Chiyan army.
327
00:26:12,260 --> 00:26:17,600
Cunning by nature. Yaowang Valley is also not a place we easily intrude on.
328
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,250
So I tracked down the times and routes on which he conveys medicine.
329
00:26:22,250 --> 00:26:26,090
And have sent my disciple Xia Qiu to capture him.
330
00:26:26,090 --> 00:26:29,170
We should get some news in the next couple of days
331
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:39,800
So right now, you're telling me that it is not guaranteed that you can capture Wei Zheng?
332
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:44,710
Prince Yu, do you not believe in the Xuanjing Bureau's capabilities?
333
00:26:46,900 --> 00:26:58,500
Subbed by the Lang Ya Bang Team @ Viki
334
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,660
His illness has resurfaced,
335
00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:06,950
the next few days will be dangerous.
336
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:11,320
From this moment on, refuse all guests.
337
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:15,420
It doesn't matter who comes, he should not meet with them.
338
00:27:34,500 --> 00:27:37,470
The wind is howling,
339
00:27:37,470 --> 00:27:40,310
the snow must also be coming down heavily.
340
00:27:40,310 --> 00:27:45,440
It'll be difficult for those still out in this weather.
341
00:27:45,450 --> 00:27:49,560
Director Xia, you sound very confident in what you said earlier.
342
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,820
Perhaps we can capture Wei Zheng before the snow stops.
343
00:27:56,900 --> 00:28:00,740
I personally planned Wei Zheng's capture,
344
00:28:00,740 --> 00:28:06,790
and sent the best of Xuanjing Bureau. There will be no slip up.
345
00:28:06,790 --> 00:28:12,110
No one will be able to touch this criminal before I get him to the Capital.
346
00:28:12,110 --> 00:28:16,400
How can there be no wine upon such good news. Banruo.
347
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,880
Once Wei Zheng is captured and sent to the capital,
348
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:23,990
Director Xia, how do you plan on using him to give a blow to Prince Jing?
349
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:29,580
I am actually interested in Prince Yu's ideas first.
350
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,140
Wei Zhengs' capture is a good opportunity to bring up old case.
351
00:28:36,140 --> 00:28:40,090
But there's still no direct connection with Prince Jing.
352
00:28:40,090 --> 00:28:45,040
If we want to make an issue out of Wei Zheng then we need to forge a confession from him.
353
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,880
In it we can accuse Prince Jing of harboring and protecting Wei Zheng for all the years he was on the run.
354
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,700
And in this way drag Prince Jing into the case.
355
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:55,500
I don't think that'll work.
356
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:01,300
If it was someone else, once his Majesty is angered, they'll not have a change to defend their case.
357
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:06,520
His Majesty would sentence them based on a verbal confession. But what is Prince Jing's status?
358
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:12,630
A verbal confession will not be enough to accuse him of harboring a criminal. Not to mention that this would be a forged confession.
359
00:29:12,630 --> 00:29:15,480
What if His Majesty wants to personally question Wei Zheng?
360
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,660
Isn't this self defeating?
361
00:29:18,660 --> 00:29:24,340
Director Xia, back then Prince Jing and Lin Shu was particularly close.
362
00:29:24,340 --> 00:29:29,950
Wei Zheng was able to escape for so many years, do you think Prince Jing might actually be secretly assisting him?
363
00:29:34,300 --> 00:29:36,590
If I could find even the barest hint
364
00:29:36,590 --> 00:29:39,180
of communication between Wei Zheng and Prince Jing
365
00:29:39,180 --> 00:29:41,880
then we wouldn't even be discussing this right now.
366
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,780
Prince Jing doesn't even know that Wei Zheng is still alive, I can confirm that.
367
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:55,130
If so, this is difficult. By capturing Weizheng it is only capturing a fugitive from an old case
368
00:29:55,130 --> 00:29:59,980
How can we drag Prince Jing into this mess?
369
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,080
Director Xia, you must already have an idea.
370
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,260
If that's the case, then there's no need to keep me hanging.
371
00:30:18,100 --> 00:30:21,730
Wouldn't it be better to share your idea with us and have a discussion?
372
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,600
Prince Yu
373
00:30:29,300 --> 00:30:32,070
Prince Jing is your brother,
374
00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:36,850
how well do you understand him?
375
00:30:36,850 --> 00:30:39,870
What are you trying to say, Director Xia?
376
00:30:39,870 --> 00:30:43,100
Prince Jing doesn't even know that Wei Zheng is still alive.
377
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:47,370
Up until now, we cannot find any evidence of involvement, correct?
378
00:30:47,370 --> 00:30:50,560
- That's exactly the problem. - What about after?
379
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,090
After?
380
00:30:52,090 --> 00:30:56,920
After Prince Jing finds out that Wei Zheng is alive and has already fallen into our hands, what will happen?
381
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,810
According to your understanding, what will Prince Jing's reaction be?
382
00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:11,150
Of course he'll want to save him.
383
00:31:11,150 --> 00:31:13,100
Exactly.
384
00:31:34,850 --> 00:31:38,010
Your Majesty can't fall asleep?
385
00:31:38,010 --> 00:31:40,800
I'll put on this incense to help with your insomnia.
386
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,310
Your Majesty close your eyes first and rest awhile.
387
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:55,610
Yesterday I dreamt of the Grand Empress Dowager again, and...
388
00:31:59,700 --> 00:32:03,210
The day after tomorrow is Grand Empress Dowager's anniversary.
389
00:32:03,210 --> 00:32:06,130
That your Majesty is dreaming of her now,
390
00:32:06,130 --> 00:32:10,770
should be because she still misses you from heaven.
391
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:33,400
According to the ancestral rites, for Grand Empress Dowager's anniversary
392
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:39,780
I have to go guard the tomb for 3 days, the Inner Palace cannot come along.
393
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:53,700
This is incense for insomnia is really good. Prepare some for Gao Zhan to bring along.
394
00:32:54,910 --> 00:32:57,600
It's already been prepared.
395
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,990
In such cold winter weather, the Imperial Tombs cannot be compared to the palace
396
00:33:01,990 --> 00:33:06,170
Your Majesty must take care of your health.
397
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:11,590
You're always the most considerate.
398
00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:17,380
In the Inner Palace, is there anyone who is not considerate of Your Majesty?
399
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:23,980
I heard that the Empress has been giving you a hard time recently.
400
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,010
The Empress has responsibilities as the head of the Inner Palace.
401
00:33:29,010 --> 00:33:31,750
Naturally there will be areas that I need to be educated on.
402
00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:33,710
How is that giving me a hard time.
403
00:33:33,710 --> 00:33:37,510
It's good that you have a big heart.
404
00:33:37,510 --> 00:33:41,020
Since she is the Empress after all,
405
00:33:41,020 --> 00:33:45,700
if she doesn't make it too difficult, just keep a respectful distance.
406
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:47,830
Tolerate it if you can,
407
00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:50,470
but if you really can't,
408
00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:55,700
you have to tell me.
409
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:58,360
Even though there's no such thing happening,
410
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,990
but hearing Your Majesty say this
411
00:34:00,990 --> 00:34:05,910
I feel very grateful.
412
00:34:07,500 --> 00:34:14,050
Your personality has always been so calm.
413
00:34:14,050 --> 00:34:19,110
It been over 30 years, but there is no big change.
414
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,900
If she could be more like you,
415
00:34:25,950 --> 00:34:27,970
it would have been great.
416
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,970
But since birth,
417
00:34:33,970 --> 00:34:36,880
her personality has always been so unyielding.
418
00:34:43,300 --> 00:34:45,790
Have you dreamt of her before?
419
00:34:47,700 --> 00:34:52,610
I'm not fortunate enough to have the Grand Empress Dowager enter my dreams.
420
00:34:55,500 --> 00:35:01,210
You know that I'm not talking about the Grand Empress Dowager.
421
00:35:05,300 --> 00:35:10,940
I haven't dreamt of her in several years.
422
00:35:12,300 --> 00:35:16,670
But lately, sometimes
423
00:35:16,670 --> 00:35:20,830
she'll be standing beside the Grand Empress Dowager.
424
00:35:38,500 --> 00:35:40,810
Have you seen her in your dreams?
425
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:58,100
Tell me, what is she like in your dreams?
426
00:36:08,300 --> 00:36:10,400
Consort Chen... T/N: "-jiejie" is an endearing term used towards older females
427
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,730
still looks the same as back then.
428
00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:20,200
She stands under that plum tree,
429
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:25,790
not saying a word, and just keep smiling at me.
430
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:51,620
Director Xia's tactic is to attack the heart, very intricate indeed.
431
00:36:51,620 --> 00:36:56,310
Judging by Jingyan's temper, he won't be able to just stand aside and watch.
432
00:36:56,310 --> 00:36:59,890
With that, while we don't have anything against him now,
433
00:36:59,890 --> 00:37:04,910
as long as he makes a move, we'll have victory in our hands.
434
00:37:08,900 --> 00:37:12,280
It's great if it can turn out that way.
435
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,020
But, I don't know why...
436
00:37:15,020 --> 00:37:18,310
I still have some worries.
437
00:37:19,500 --> 00:37:21,140
Worries about what?
438
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:25,140
Prince Jing is now very prominent in the Court,
439
00:37:25,140 --> 00:37:27,930
his Majesty is also favors him very much.
440
00:37:27,930 --> 00:37:31,970
It can be described as excellent circumstances. But Wei Zheng,
441
00:37:31,970 --> 00:37:35,400
he was just one of Lin Shu's low ranking Lieutenants,
442
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,510
a criminal who escaped by luck.
443
00:37:38,510 --> 00:37:40,850
With Prince Jing's position today,
444
00:37:40,850 --> 00:37:43,800
why would he risk
445
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,600
angering his Majesty and getting accused, to save such a minor person.
446
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,700
You don't know, Prince Jing's temper is like that by nature.
447
00:37:52,700 --> 00:37:56,710
It's not like he hasn't done something stupid like this before.
448
00:37:59,100 --> 00:38:03,250
I do know something about Prince Jing's personality.
449
00:38:03,250 --> 00:38:07,410
Saving Wei Zheng does not give him any benefits,
450
00:38:07,410 --> 00:38:13,330
But if he fails, he will the excellent circumstances he's in now.
451
00:38:13,330 --> 00:38:16,670
The benefit and harm between success and failure is so big,
452
00:38:16,670 --> 00:38:20,740
will Prince Jing really not hesitate?
453
00:38:20,740 --> 00:38:24,040
What you're saying is not without reason.
454
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,410
The present Prince Jing is no longer the exiled Prince of yesteryear.
455
00:38:28,410 --> 00:38:30,970
He now has the ability to fight for Imperial favors
456
00:38:30,970 --> 00:38:33,290
he might not risk losing the whole game
457
00:38:33,290 --> 00:38:36,010
just to save Wei Zheng.
458
00:38:36,010 --> 00:38:38,340
Prince Yu.
459
00:38:38,340 --> 00:38:42,010
It looks like you still don't really understand this brother of yours.
460
00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:49,320
Rest assured, I am good at discerning people if nothing else.
461
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,410
The reason why I'm here today, strategizing
462
00:38:53,410 --> 00:38:56,620
is because Xiao Jingyan, this person,
463
00:38:56,620 --> 00:38:58,870
He would not change.
464
00:39:00,900 --> 00:39:04,580
Director Xia's judgement is without fault.
465
00:39:04,580 --> 00:39:07,990
But, you forgot about one person.
466
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,350
Who?
467
00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:13,800
Sir Mei of Jiangzuo.
468
00:39:24,500 --> 00:39:27,980
You mean the one they call the Divine Talent?
469
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,960
Director Xia, you must not underestimate this Divine Talent
470
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,070
The Prince Jing we have today is all thanks to him.
471
00:39:36,070 --> 00:39:40,400
Even if Prince Jing is that stubborn and reckless, not caring of consequences
472
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:45,030
but Mei Changsu is not someone who is hotheaded.
473
00:39:45,030 --> 00:39:49,360
Once he realizes that Wei Zheng's case is just a lure
474
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:53,450
and as long as Prince Jing does not touch it, it would be no danger
475
00:39:53,450 --> 00:39:58,430
Mei Changsu will definitely not let Prince Jing act carelessly.
476
00:39:58,430 --> 00:40:02,310
Banruo is right. Using Wei Zheng to defeat Prince Jing is easy.
477
00:40:02,310 --> 00:40:05,870
But it will be difficult to defeat Mei Changsu.
478
00:40:05,870 --> 00:40:11,830
Unless...unless Prince Jing is not willing to listen to Mei Changsu's advice.
479
