Although it's worse than death, 370 00:35:20,900 --> 00:35:24,720 he still refused to say who the mastermind is. 371 00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:30,310 His Majesty has already issued the decree to extend the martial law from Yandu to Han City. 372 00:35:30,310 --> 00:35:33,210 He also ordered troops from various stations 373 00:35:33,210 --> 00:35:36,330 to rush back to Yandu to be on the alert. 374 00:35:40,210 --> 00:35:43,910 Your Highness... 375 00:35:48,150 --> 00:35:50,440 I want to be alone. 376 00:35:56,770 --> 00:35:58,300 Lord Wei. 377 00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:00,560 How is Ningzhi?

Yan Kuan is locked up in there and that ghostly Four Legged Eunuch, 392 00:37:12,060 --> 00:37:14,280 I still can't figure it out. 393 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,500 Yan Kuan predicted that the most powerful person in Great Liang will die. 394 00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:21,500 Could it be that he knew earlier that His Majesty would be assassinated? 395 00:37:21,500 --> 00:37:25,280 I was able to save His Majesty in time because of the Four Legged Eunuch's reminder. 396 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,230 I don't know the background of the Four Legged Eunuch 397 00:37:28,230 --> 00:37:32,200 but Yan Kuan is really creating chaos in the kingdom. 398 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:39,230 He approached Noble Consort Fu to pressurize the Empress and the Empress to pressurize the First Princess and also provoked the Princess and the Emperor. 399 00:37:39,230 --> 00:37:44,420 This kind of ambition is overwhelming in troubled times. 400 00:37:44,420 --> 00:37:48,670 Then why did many of his predictions already become realistic? 401 00:37:48,670 --> 00:37:52,120 What people don't know about themselves, it will incite fears in them. 402 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,830 Yan Kuan deliberately created a mystery to drive fears into people's hearts. 403 00:37:54,830 --> 00:37:58,790 He also used this fear to manipulate their minds. 404 00:37:58,790 --> 00:38:02,090 There are a number of officials in the Imperial court who are in contact with Yan Kuan whom he could made use of. 405 00:38:02,090 --> 00:38:06,920 Even most of the people in the Tingwei Prison listens to him and run errands for him. 406 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:12,600 The more spies there are, the more information he l obtains and understands the current situation. His lies won't be awkward. 407 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,660 Doesn't His Majesty know how dangerous he is? 408 00:38:15,660 --> 00:38:17,680 Of course, he knows 409 00:38:22,950 --> 00:38:25,240 but the late Emperor made a will. 410 00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:28,510 No matter what crime Yan Kuan commits, he can't be killed. 411 00:38:28,510 --> 00:38:33,020 After all, he arranged for the Seven Star Lamp to pray for longevity to extend the life of the late Emperor by eight years. 412 00:38:33,020 --> 00:38:35,300 Huh? How did he do that? 413 00:38:35,300 --> 00:38:39,680 That year, the Imperial Physician said the late Emperor's illness has spread to his vital organs and he's running out of time. 414 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,480 Yan Kuan appeared at that time and successfully extended the late Emperor's life. 415 00:38:44,230 --> 00:38:47,760 But I heard from my father that during that time, 416 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,300 the families of the Imperial Physicians were infected with some strange disease. 417 00:38:53,310 --> 00:38:58,600 Perhaps, Yan Kuan manipulated them to lie in front of the late Emperor. 418 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,530 What do you think? 419 00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:07,020 Yan Kuan is locked up in here now and he's still in control. 420 00:39:07,020 --> 00:39:12,190 Once he's released, the kingdom will be in turmoil again. 421 00:39:17,220 --> 00:39:20,420 Your Majesty, Ye Ningzhi requested to see you. 422 00:39:21,450 --> 00:39:23,290 Let her in. 423 00:39:27,940 --> 00:39:33,120 Greetings, Your Majesty.
