[The Legend of Anle]
[Adapted from a novel by Xing Ling]

[Episode 28]

My imperial court
has been completely turned upside down.

And yet, you are here congratulating me.

Eighty thousand generals and soldiers
died tragically,

and the loyal Di family
endured ten years of unfair suffering.

These tragedies indeed happened

because of the Han family's selfish desires.

Since the scholars are willing
to ask us to uphold justice,

it shows

their trust in Jing,

and they believe that Your Majesty

will clear the Di family's name

and bring justice to the whole country.

Ye,

since when did you learn to speak so eloquently?

I'm just telling the truth.

Your Majesty, you are wise

and always open to advice.

You also taught me
that people's hearts are important.

Like these scholars,

I also believe that Your Majesty
will stop the endless rumors

and bring peace to the restless souls
in the afterlife.

Crown Prince,

do you also think

that I was wrong?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

Official Di requests an audience.

[Lanqing Hall]

Your Majesty,

I have something to report.

Speak.

Now, Empress Dowager and Marquis Zhongyi

have already paid for their actions
with their lives.

The Di family's case should also come to an end.

But the 80,000 heroic souls

of the Di family

are still wandering
at Qingnan Mountain in the Northwest.

I beg Your Majesty to personally go

and bring back the 80,000 heroic souls
to the capital

to clear their names before the entire nation.

Official Di, you're requesting

that His Majesty go to the Northwest border

to bring back the loyal souls to the capital?

I find it highly inappropriate.

The Emperor's well-being is of utmost importance.

His Majesty shouldn't travel strenuously.

As the Crown Prince,

I'm willing to go to the Northwest border
on behalf of Your Majesty.

You want to head to the Northwest?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'm willing to remove my crown and walk barefoot

to bring the loyal souls back to the capital.

Crown Prince.

Your Majesty,

we should let the entire world witness
the Di family reclaim their honor

and the return of the heroic souls to the capital

so that it's known to all people.

Get up first.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I shall release Luo Mingxi

and let you go to the Northwest.

But

I still have one thing to ask you.

As of now,

do you still want to marry Di Ziyuan?

In this life, my only wish
is to assist Your Majesty

in seeking peace and prosperity

for Jing.

Zhao Fu.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Convey my imperial decree.

Regarding the matter of the Di family,

I

acknowledge my mistake before the people.

When the heroic souls
of the Di family return to the capital,

the Crown Prince shall remove his crown
and walk barefoot,

and I shall issue a repentance decree

to seek forgiveness from the entire nation.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Anle.

I've often imagined.

If we could go back to the past,

we could enjoy each other's company

happily.

Your Highness, you must understand

that once Anle becomes Di Ziyuan,

things will never be the same.

Yes,

I understand that.

But I hope

that even if there's no love between us,

we can have less hatred.

At least, I can do my best

to settle the resentment created

by the past generation.

[Prison]

You were already skinny, to begin with.

After spending time in prison,

you've become even weaker.

I already consulted the physician.

He said you should have light meals these days.

No spicy food

or alcohol.

The wound will itch during your recovery.

I've instructed six maids

to stick around you every day.

If you wanted to scratch your wounds,

they would hit your hand.

You're treating me as if I were a child.

Don't worry.

I'll focus on recuperating.

I have to thank you for everything.

Ziyuan, you're managing everything yourself now.

He's also here.

You were released

because he went to plead
with Han Zhongyuan for mercy.

But you don't need to be grateful to them.

After all, you ended up in such a state

because of what that family had done.

Your Highness.

I'm glad you were released.

It's windy out here. You shouldn't catch a cold.

Let's get on the carriage.

I'm injured.

So it's not convenient for me
to greet you formally.

You can drop the formalities.

I'm grateful for His Majesty's kindness.

I thought I wouldn't survive

those torture devices.

I must thank you for sending the best medicine.

That's why I made it out alive.

I was merely lending a hand.

Let's go.

Fabrics for sale!

Luo Mingxi has been safely released.

Han Zhongyuan

has decided to issue a repentance decree.

Does your master

have a backup plan?

The Chancellor said

Di Ziyuan instigated the scholars

to gather in front of the Chongyang Gate
to protest for her.

Though it worked, it was quite risky.

The odds between the Han and Di families
are now out in the open.

Di Ziyuan's ability to win over people

is now no less impressive
than those of emperors and ministers.

With public sentiment surging like this,

Han Zhongyuan will surely

become even more wary of her.

That's right.

The Chancellor said

Han Zhongyuan dared not do anything to Di Ziyuan

because he just issued a repentance decree.

But

we can help him take action.

[Three days later]
[Lingxiang Pleasure House]

-Linlang.
-Miss Di.

Official Luo told me

not to inform you of his current condition.

But I'm sure you can see it for yourself.

He really needs rest.

You're the only one he listens to now.

Don't worry.

Thank you, Miss Di.

I know you have a perceptive heart.

But you can check these ledgers at any time.

Ziyuan,

you have something to tell me, right?

Are you planning something?

Are you

not content?

I'm just worried

because I was imprisoned
as soon as the Di family case was exonerated.

It looks like the Han family
will eventually make a move against you.

I was once reluctant to leave the court.

But you personally stopped me.

Now, Han Zhongyuan

issued a repentance decree before the people.

The 80,000 loyal souls

will be brought back from Qingnan Mountain soon.

You were right at the time.

I shouldn't continue this fight here.

I said that back then

because I wanted you to be free
from the Han family's court responsibilities.

You, the Di family's bloodline,
are destined to be feared

by the Han family.

If you don't take a step forward

to counterbalance the Han family,

I think

the tragedy of the Di family

won't end here.

You were injured severely in prison.

You should rest properly for these few days.

I'll come and visit you again

after I return from the Northwest.

[Residence of the Princess]

Anning.

Ye,

why are you here?

I know you've been troubled lately,

so I brought

your favorite cloud cake for you.

Only you know me.

You know my taste like the back of your hand.

Have a seat.

When I saw you lacking in energy these days,

I thought

my dear sister was going

to need some treats from me to comfort her

like when we were young.

Anning,

you're a stubborn person.

I was worried
that you would get hurt in the capital.

But seeing you

not dwelling in self-pity,

I'm relieved.

Since we were young,

you've always cared for me the most.

In this world,

what older brother wouldn't worry
about their younger sister?

Moreover, as members of the imperial family,

we face countless helplessness

and more choices.

As your brother,

anything you don't want to do

or can't bear,

I'll bear it for you.

However, from now on,

you mustn't keep anything

from me.

You're so nice to me

that I'm reluctant to return to the Northwest now.

Whether you want to return to the Northwest

or stay in the capital,

you can live freely in the future.

If His Majesty forces you
to choose a prince consort again,

I'll help you.

I'll help you choose something you like.

But what about what you like
and the person you like?

As the Crown Prince,

what I like isn't important.

Actually, I can see

that Ziyuan is sincere toward you.

We can see

all the efforts you've made

to make up for the past mistakes.

Ziyuan surely sees them too.

Anning,

no matter how much I do,

I can never make up for the wrongful death
of the 80,000 souls.

No matter how well I do,

I can never

become a blood relative connected to her.

What I am doing now

has nothing to do with her identity.

I just want to do my best

to ensure that those who have been hurt
by this matter

can peacefully live out the rest of their lives.

Ye,

I don't think you know this.

But whenever we mention Ziyuan,

even your smile

looks bitter.

[Yuanshui Pavilion]

Many of my jewels are missing from my jewelry box.

Did any of you see them while cleaning?

Excuse me.

The hairpin on your head looks like mine.

Is it yours just because you claim it's yours?

You also claimed
you were the Di family's descendant

and were appointed as the Crown Princess
by the Founding Emperor.

That's right.

Are you the Crown Princess?

I wonder who the Crown Princess is now.

Is it you?

Please return what belongs to me.

What do you own in the capital?

This courtyard

was a gift from His Majesty
for Miss Di of the Di family to reside in.

You're nothing but a beggar on the street,

not even comparable to servants like us.

How dare you act so arrogantly?

You beggar!

They hit me.

They hit me!

-Are you all right?
-Get up.

Mu Qing,

they picked on me

and stole my things.

What?

How dare criminals like you act so arrogantly!

My sister serves in Crown Prince's Residence.

I'm going to tell the Crown Prince about this.

This is where Miss Cheng'en lives.

It's not for you two to cause trouble here.

Miss Cheng'en rendered meritorious service
at the palace's banquet.

And this Yuanshui Pavilion

was personally given by the Crown Prince

to Miss Cheng'en alone.

You can try and behave presumptuously again.

-Let's go.
-Just go.

His Highness said

the past

should not involve innocent people.

He hopes you can forget the past

and continue living in the capital.

No matter what happens,

I'll always be by your side.

[Lingxiang Pleasure House]

The Di family's case has already been overturned.

It seems Miss Di has also let it go.

Linlang,

can you let go of your grudge?

Ten years ago,

your elder brother and father
died in Qingnan Mountain.

Your mother passed away from grief.

I know the requiem you played that day

wasn't just for Anning.

(It was also)

(for those 80,000 lost souls
who can never return to their homeland.)

If the grievances of these 80,000 people
can be compensated

with only a decree from the Emperor,

then our ten years of hard work will be in vain.

But you've put in a tremendous effort
for the past ten years.

Now,

there is not much time left.

It's precisely because my time is running out

that I don't want to waste any more time.

I want to walk with her until the end.

So she can see herself clearly
without any regrets.

Only when Jing's territory

no longer has the Han imperial family

and Han Zhongyuan
no longer controls the country

that rightfully belongs to the Di family,

will the 80,000 wronged souls

and the ancestors of the Di family

be truly appeased.

At that time,

Di Ziyuan

can proudly return to Qingnan Mountain

and soothe the remains of those
who have rested there for ten years.

Linlang,

please continue to help with the acupuncture.

Thanks to your acupuncture these days

that my complexion looks normal.

Thank you for your help.

The time has arrived!

The Crown Prince

and Official Di, please set out to receive

the 80,000 heroic souls of the Di family
and escort them back to the capital!

-I shall obey the decree.
-I shall obey the decree.

[Jiaxian Gate]

Your Highness,

the carriage is ready.

Please set out with Official Di.

Yuanshu,

prepare another carriage for me.

I will join you later.

All right.

Wait.

Official Di, if you don't mind,

you can take my carriage.

I'll prepare another carriage
and catch up with the envoy.

Your Highness,

it's an important occasion.

As the Crown Prince...

No problem.

We can't have the Crown Prince

give up his carriage for other people.

Official Di, please ride with me.

Luo Mingxi and Di Ziyuan
are traveling in the same carriage.

They will cross
through dense forests along the way.

This is the perfect opportunity to take action.

The Chancellor
requests Your Highness to lend us a hand.

Do you have any news on winning the trust

of the former servants of the Di family?

Please rest assured, Your Highness.

We have already obtained some clues.

Why did you come?

Didn't you promise to recuperate at home?

As a former member of the Di family,

those buried at Qingnan Mountain
were my seniors.

Of course, I must see them off.

But it's a long journey.

What if your body can't take it?

I'll be fine.

Linlang has been taking care of me
for the past few days.

Look,

don't I look much better now
than when I was released from prison?

I still have to rely on your keen intuition

for this arduous journey.

You know the road ahead is tough.

You even prepared this spacious carriage for me.

Because I know

you don't want to face him.

This carriage has a cozy setup.

It comes with a warmer and soft blankets.

Your Highness,

you didn't prepare these for me, right?

You have done well in your studies recently.

So you deserve this reward.

Your Highness and I don't like drinking.

Then,

[Alcohol]
who did you prepare these for?

When we take a break midway,

you can take these two jars of wine

and deliver them to Official Luo's carriage.

The weather is changing,

and they might need it.

Your Highness asked me to do it

because you wanted to give something to Anle?

Never mind.

Official Luo is meticulous.

I suppose he's more thorough
in such preparation.

I don't hate him.

I just don't want to see him.

But I'm sure

he'll be a good Crown Prince

and treat the descendants
of the Di family with kindness.

Treat with kindness?

Do those wives and mothers,

who have experienced
the loss of husbands and sons,

deserve only a decree

and a small sum of money?

Is this what you call
treating them with kindness?

It seems like the sky is getting cloudy.

It might rain.

Ziyuan,

as a descendant of the Di family,

you should have the same determination
as the former family head

who wielded great power.

Your Highness, do you remember

when we traveled to Jiangnan,

Anle insisted that we all
ride in the same carriage?

Actually,

she did that so you could rest peacefully.

She really cares for you.

Your Highness and Anle make a formidable team,

solving cases and getting rid of evildoers.

What a remarkable understanding.

When you held Anle's hand

amid the cheers of the people,

I couldn't help but envy.

You went through thick and thin together

and have a deep affection for each other.

Your bond is as strong as the one

the Founding Emperor had

with the head of the Di family.

Your Highness,

you clearly care deeply for Anle.

Since His Majesty
has issued the repentance decree

and agreed to welcome back
the generals and soldiers of the Di family,

why can't you two reconcile?

Because she has always been Di Ziyuan,

not Ren Anle.

I'd rather she be a female pirate from Jingnan,

even if she is rough, uncultured,
and bad in literature.

I'd rather the girl I once had in my heart

and cherished, Ren Anle,

can live as she wants.

Sometimes, I wish

Di Ziyuan never existed in this world.

But the funny part

was Di Ziyuan has always been here.

What doesn't exist

is Ren Anle I have in my heart.

Young Lady.

Official Luo.

The carriage's wheels are stuck in the mud.

It seems we can't continue forward for now.

It's raining heavily.

So the envoy needs to rest and regroup.

His Highness requests
that Miss Di and Official Luo

get off the carriage to take shelter
from the rain.

Find some strong guards to push the carriage.

I won't get off.

Young Lady,

the road is muddy.

The guards need to change
the rain covers of the carriage.

It's inconvenient to stay inside.

It's better to get off the carriage
and find shelter from the rain.

Let's get off.

You're soaking wet.

Official Luo,

the spring rain is chilly.

It's easy to catch a cold being splashed by it.

Ask Official Di to change her position slightly.

It's fine.

I think this rain will stop soon.

Since she's not willing to come,

why force her?

Your Highness,

the weather is too cold.

I'll go and get some clothes for you.

♪If I bet my all on it desperately♪

♪I know my heart will be uneasy♪

♪I can't dream to own you♪

Why bother?

♪But I'm willing to forsake my life for you♪

♪I'd go the distance for you.

This heavy rain

reminds me of when we were in Jingnan.

Yes,

it always rained when we were kids.

You used to take me running in the rain,

and we ended up covered with mud.

It's precisely the heavy rain

that nourishes the beautiful Flower of Longing.

♪I bear no regrets♪

♪But when we reunite in our next life,
will you still remember me?♪

After everything is settled,

can we go back to Jingnan?

Ziyuan,

do you know what I was thinking

every time I heard cheerful sounds

outside the Lingxiang Pleasure House?

I was thinking
that the capital sure was a great place.

Talents gather here,

and everything is harmonious and joyful.

♪And guarded your smile♪

But when have the people of Jingnan

ever experienced such days?

♪Please don't leave me in oblivion
when we part ways♪

♪I'd go the distance for you.
May the light stay with you♪

Han Ye,

do you know who lies buried

beneath Qingnan Mountain?

Those remains belong to the husbands,

fathers,

sons,

and brothers of the people in Jingnan.

♪I bear no regrets♪

♪But when we reunite in our next life,
will you still remember me?♪

They guarded the territory.

They were all brave and resolute young men.

But what did they get in return
for their sacrifice?

They were labeled as traitors

and faced the scorn of the world.

In the end, even their remains
have no resting place.

I hope these 80,000 souls of Di Troops

can find justice

and peace in the afterlife.

I also hope their families

can find some consolation.

♪I'd go the distance for you.
May the light stay with you♪

For these ten years,

every year on the memorial day of the Di Troops,

Jingnan is filled with white mourning banners.

During festivals,

you can't hear any joyful sounds

because the families were torn apart

and their bloodlines were severed.

As the Crown Prince of Jing,

can you imagine

that there's still such a place in your territory?

♪I bear no regrets♪

♪But when we reunite in our next life,
will you still remember me?♪

It's raining heavily.

I suppose

the journey to Qingnan Mountain

won't be smooth for His Highness and Official Di.

Ye and Ziyuan

went to bring back the 80,000 heroic souls.

I may not dare to meet them.

But I still want to do what I can to help.

General,

you have guarded the border for many years

and protected the land
they once fought to defend.

This is the greatest comfort and tribute
to all the heroic souls.

The departed are gone,

and the living keeps living.

I want to request His Majesty to issue a decree

to treat the surviving former servants
of the Di family kindly.

The Di family suffered
heavy casualties ten years ago.

It may be difficult to get in touch

with the former servants of the Di family.

Most of the former servants of the Di family

have scattered in cities
along the Northwest border.

Over these years,
I've been investigating in secret

and have gathered much information about them.

Deliver this memorial to His Majesty

and this secret letter to the Northwest.

Yes, General.

Your Highness,

you were caught in the chilly rain.

Drink some hot tea to warm yourself.

Your Highness,

ten years is really a long time.

Perhaps,

they have already started new lives.

Perhaps...

Luo Mingxi is right.

They are all trying their best...

But as long as these people are still alive,

they won't find peace.

They don't even know

that their loved ones died thousands of li away

because of the imperial family's
desire for power and selfish gain.

Your Highness, if you're tired,

rest for a while.

When you wake up,

we will reach our destination.

The closer we get to Qingnan Mountain,

the more I realize

that no matter how hard I try,

I can't stand by her side.

All my previous efforts,

persistence,

guilt, and compensation,

as well as what I had experienced with her,

are too insignificant

compared to the lives of these 80,000 people.

What a joke.

It's not worth mentioning at all.

Take this. You were caught in the rain too.

Warm yourself with this.

Actually, you didn't have to

tell him all that.

But there are some words

he should hear

even if it's ten or twenty years late.

You didn't just say them to him

but also to me.

You've expressed

all your discontentment.

Other than seeking justice and innocence,

you want them to return

half of the country
that the Han family owes to the Di family.

Are you really content?

Even if we return to Jingnan now

and wait another ten years,

will the people of Jingnan

truly live in peace?

You bear the surname "Di",

and you should be the protector
of that land and its people.

But achieving greatness
often comes at the cost of countless lives.

If you want to seize control of the world,

other than war,

there will be no other options.

Chaos will spread throughout the land,

and so will Jingnan.

How do you expect
innocent people to survive this?

When you were feeling discontent,

have you ever considered

the plight of those ordinary folks?

During the Han family's rule
for the past ten years,

corrupt officials
and oppressive officers reigned.

The common people suffered greatly.

They are no longer qualified

to rule this country.

And Han Zhongyuan
is not worthy of being the Emperor.

(While one's birth
may determine their family background,)

I believe,

with enough effort,

one can definitely change their fate.

I will immediately go to the palace

and report this to His Majesty.

Your Highness,

this is a complicated case.

Who knows how many high-ranking officials
might be involved?

I will not cower in fear
before the grievances of the people.

Why can't we strike the bell to seek justice?

This case will be taken to the heavens if needed.

Han Zhongyuan is unworthy.

But Jing's Crown Prince is worthy.

He cares for the people, values righteousness,

and has the world in his heart.

I believe

he will create a bright
and prosperous era once again.
