[Kill My Sins] [This is a work of fiction]

[Eternal Pavilion]

[Episode 30] [Thrive Against Destiny]

[Lantern Festival]

Put the folding screen over there

and make sure it's even on both sides.

- Yes. - Yes.

Miss Wu.

Tonight,

all the guards around the pavilion

are our people.

Everything is ready.

After I succeed in the palace,

fireworks will be the signal.

Xian'er,

may I ask you something?

Is everything you did

only to assist

the Prince of Kangping?

In history,

no ruler

has ever passed the throne to their daughter.

I did so many things,

but in my father's mind,

I'm only a loyal aide

for my brother.

Xian'er,

are you implying...?

He couldn't have achieved anything

without me.

Therefore, after we get this done,

the one to ascend

should be me, too.

[Kangping Mansion]

[Fengrao Salt Shop]

How's everything?

Mr. Li,

the Prince of Kangping was in the salt shop

for a while.

The Prince of Kangping.

Mr. Li,

shall we...?

Where's our people?

As you instructed,

I have them waiting

in the nearby tavern

without alerting the enemy.

They are standing by.

Follow me to the salt shop.

Gentlemen, are you here for some salt?

Sir,

why did

the Prince of Kangping

visit your shop by himself?

What kind of business

you are doing?

The... the Prince of Kangping?

I have no idea what you are saying.

Search.

Sandao.

I knew something was wrong.

Sandao,

move the salt on the ground away.

Bring our people here now.

Yes, sir.

Li Jun,

do you like

the view down here?

It's good,

but the smell is too strong.

You need some air here.

Prince of Kangping,

what is this?

You are

being too nosy.

You should have a look at your mansion.

There's a lot of damage.

I have a courtyard

with blooming flowers

and a fantastic view.

Plus 100 liang of gold.

You should work for me.

I will grant you wealth

and power.

Don't be joking, Prince of Kangping.

I, Li Jun,

serve Her Majesty only.

Ignorant.

Sir!

Are they here?

They are all here,

coming down from the salt shop.

Prince of Kangping!

You are making explosives

and colluding with the Imperial Guards.

Are you...?

Sandao?

I never thought

you were with him.

You wretch.

Make him disappear.

Yes, sir.

[Fengrao Salt Shop] This is the Fengrao Salt Shop

marked on the map.

Maybe Ping'an is in there.

Let's go.

Why are there so many hidden tunnels

beneath the salt shop?

I remember the construction

of those tunnels in the capital

for drainage in storms.

Later, the war on the northern border needed money,

and the capital didn't experience any storm.

The tunnels were abandoned before they were connected

to the river.

These are the tunnels,

but they've been

renovated.

Even more tunnels are added.

The smell of sulfur is strong.

Behind you!

Ping'an!

Help him!

- Got it! - Got it!

Ping'an.

Go with Nichang.

We will watch your back.

Okay.

Meet you at Mang Gutter.

Nichang, take him with us.

Your wound is bad.

Hang in there.

I always wanted you dead.

Why did you save me?

I'm a physician.

Saving people's lives is my priority.

What's going on now?

Wu Youjing is making explosives in private

and keeping his own army.

He is going to rebel.

Today is the Lantern Festival.

The Empress and the officials

are going to the Eternal Pavilion.

Wu Youjing will take the chance and ambush them.

What should we do then?

We have to find Mr. Guo now

and stop the Empress from going there.

During the banquet at the Eternal Pavilion,

the Li family started a rebellion.

I want you to be there with Xian'er.

I await your command,

Your Highness.

If you can kill the rebels

of the Li family tonight,

I will make you Chancellor.

If not,

you will die,

together with all the other officials.

Dress him properly.

- Yes. - Yes.

How are you holding up?

I admire your determination

to help the Empress.

Everyone sees me

as the claw and fang of the Empress,

but I never have

any hesitation

in serving the Empress.

Over there!

Stop looking. Go.

Two streets ahead

is Mr. Guo's route

to the Eternal Pavilion.

Go!

I, In-palace Enquiry Censor of the Great Feng,

am finally killing

the real rebels this time!

[Guo Yu] Mr. Guo!

[Minister of the Court of Judicial Review]

Who's that?

It's Ye Ping'an.

[Psychiatric Commissioner]

Look.

[Eternal Pavilion]

Miss Wu is here.

Where is the Prince of Kangping, though?

My father has

something important today.

The Wu family

dares to ignore

the Empress now, huh?

What is

more important

than the banquet for Her Majesty?

The Prince of Kangping is trusted by the Empress.

He's certain to come with her.

Miss Wu.

The Prince of Kangping asked me

to tell you

that Ye Ping'an escaped.

Go after her then!

We are trying.

Ye Ping'an will

notify the Empress.

I guess the Empress

will not come here tonight.

Tell my father

to spread the news

that there are explosives at the Eternal Pavilion.

He needs to find a way

to divert

the Right Yulin Royal Guard in the palace.

But...

Only when the force is divided,

my father can take the Empress down.

Do it now!

Understood.

[Tongtian Gate]

Miss Ye,

I'm returning to the Court of Judicial Review.

Let's stick to the plan.

Thank you, Mr. Guo.

Nichang,

find Yuan Hesheng in Mang Gutter.

Tell him...

Stop there.

Who are you?

I need to see Wu Xian'er.

I'm Ye Ping'an.

Traditionally,

Her Majesty would have been here.

But today,

we've been waiting for a long time,

and Her Majesty hasn't arrived yet.

Mr. Li,

are you blaming Her Majesty for being late?

I wonder

if Miss Wu can tell me

where

the Prince of Kangping is.

As I recall,

isn't Wu Ankang supposed to be back

in the capital

around now?

Is the Prince of Kangping

occupied

by something related, Miss Wu?

I think

you are getting drunk.

Somebody,

take Mr. Li away to wake up,

so that he doesn't misbehave

in front of Her Majesty.

Mr. Li,

please.

Miss Wu...

Mr. Li,

it's a good thing

that you think about Her Majesty,

but right now, you are

worrying too much.

The Prince of Kangping is indeed occupied by something important,

something arranged by Her Majesty.

Later,

he will be here together with Her Majesty.

[Eternal Pavilion]

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

This is...

The Right Yulin Royal Guard led by Xu Zhao

is looking fierce.

The Right Yulin Royal Guard is here.

Her Majesty will be here soon.

Mr. Li,

please take a seat.

Miss Wu!

Miss Wu,

we've got the criminal, Ye Ping'an.

Where did you get her?

Outside the palace.

She was trying to see the Empress.

There aren't many guards left in the palace, right?

No.

Then my father

is about to get there.

- Kill them! - Kill them!

Everyone,

the Crown Prince of Orient House

and his accomplices, the Vice Minister of Court of Judicial Review

and the criminal Ye Ping'an,

are keeping a private army and trying to rebel.

They've held the Empress hostage.

Following the order of the Prince of Kangping,

we are going to enter the house

and get rid of the threat!

After this,

you will be recognized by the Great Feng!

Kill them!

- Kill them! - Kill them!

- Kill them! - Kill them!

Xu Zhao.

Shouldn't you be...?

[Xu Zhao, General] At the Eternal Pavilion

[of the Right Yulin Royal Guard] to catch the rebels?

Hesheng,

where

are we going?

Today,

we are going to make a great contribution.

What do you mean by that?

It's the order of the Empress.

Go.

Let's go.

From what I'm looking at, you don't have

enough people to pretend to be

the Right Yulin Royal Guard.

Don't judge too quickly.

As long as you allow us,

every one of us is ready to serve!

- That's right! - That's right!

They're spreading rumors of explosives at the pavilion

to draw away

the Right Yulin Royal Guard in the palace,

giving the Prince of Kangping his chance.

If we don't respond,

Wu Xian'er will be suspicious.

The Empress has approved the people of Mang Gutter

[Eternal Pavilion] to pretend to be the guards.

In this case,

the security of both officials

and the Empress can be guaranteed.

Xian Guangping,

you helped the rebellion of Wu Youjing

and turned soldiers

who were supposed to serve the country

into rebels.

You failed the trust of Her Majesty!

You are turning things upside down

and trying to turn us against each other.

Let me be honest.

My son Ankang

is leading an army of tens of thousands of soldiers,

waiting right outside the capital.

Only

the winner

makes

the rules.

You should read the situation better.

Are you still waiting for the message from Ankang?

I can read it to you.

Father,

I am in the dead position now.

Choosing you

is to betray the Empress.

Standing with the Wu family

is to leave the country behind.

I would rather

suffer the extreme pain myself,

than let soldiers

who have been through a tough war

get into a brutal fight again,

or let the common people

live in chaos.

♪No storm can bring distress♪

Her Majesty is a wise ruler.

Agriculture is valued, and forced labor is eased.

She punishes corrupt officials

and promotes those selected by the imperial examination.

♪A grudge may cycle through the dark♪

People get to recover and thrive.

Judged on the national affairs...

♪Where blood and tears flow♪

you are nothing close to Her Majesty.

♪A grand feast where all are drunk♪

But as family...

♪A deadly game♪

my very being

wouldn't exist without you.

I am a disobedient, impious son.

I cannot face you anymore,

♪Facing waves of the rising tide♪

but to encamp far away

and return the military token.

♪Just to chase the radiant light♪

I will not

enter the capital.

♪Through rises and falls, through illusions untold♪

♪I reshape my soul♪

He is silly.

♪Gazing into the storming tide♪

He didn't know me.

Is that so

or vice versa?

I didn't know him, alright?

You see them

as your tools to gain power,

but have you ever thought about

how painful Ankang would be?

He was away to protect the country,

but his father

was scheming to take over the throne!

You killed a righteous man

and many innocent people

in the Censor case many years ago.

Today,

you are ruining yourself

as well as our children.

Your infamous reputation

will endure forever.

Surrender and live,

or resist and die.

Your family

awaits your decision.

Do not make any further mistakes!

- Surrender and live, - Surrender and live,

- or resist and die. - or resist and die.

- Surrender and live, - Surrender and live,

- or resist and die. - or resist and die.

Prince of Kangping.

Disarm.

No!

Disarm!

Yes, sir.

If I cannot be the ruler,

I have no reason to live.

Everyone else can disarm,

but I, as someone from the royal family,

cannot.

This is the honor of the Wu family.

Prince of Kangping!

[Eternal Pavilion]

Why isn't the Empress here yet?

Did anything go wrong?

Be careful what you say.

Well done.

You wanted to kill the Empress at the pavilion

and frame it on the Li family.

Everyone will die and there will be no evidence.

However, the plan has changed.

Your father is leading his army

to the palace.

Am I right?

That's right.

Your job

is to tell the officials here

that the Court of Judicial Review

found out the Li family was trying to rebel.

If you are willing to help me,

I will make the people of Mang Gutter

free from inferiority.

[Zhanlu Hall]

Why are there fireworks

from the imperial city for no reason?

Perhaps Her Majesty

wants to bring more liveliness

to the people and officials.

- It makes sense. - It makes sense.

It seems

to be going well.

Somebody.

Bring me Ye Ping'an.

Now,

victory is within your grasp.

But can you

seize it?

I have won

the game.

- Greetings, Your Majesty. - Greetings, Your Majesty.

- Long live Your Majesty! - Long live Your Majesty!

Ye Ping'an.

One year ago,

you left the capital.

Why are you back now?

Of course it's because of Wu Youjing.

For the Censor case,

you've taken down Hai Yiping

and Li Zongxu.

Isn't that enough?

Why are you going against my father

and the Wu family?

It is never against your family.

I am only trying

to do what my conscience tells me.

Conscience?

How about you?

You are a distinguished member of the imperial family.

Since you were young, you've been staying by the Empress's side.

Even if the Wu family is destroyed,

you can keep yourself safe.

Why

do you have to rebel?

Because the Empress is returning the throne to the Li family.

It made me realize

that nothing I have

ever truly belonged to me.

It belongs to the daughter of the Wu family.

If the Wu family is taken down,

there will be

no Wu Xian'er in the world.

If you are doing this for the Wu family,

why are you

the one wearing the imperial robe now?

The Empress can wear it,

and so can I.

I can do everything

that the Empress does.

No.

I will do it better.

I won't give

the power away to others like her.

If I don't put on

the imperial robe,

I will only

be at their disposal when the one wearing it

is from the Li family.

I understand.

Once a thought stays in your head for too long,

it will be a lifelong obsession.

That's right.

The Censor case is your obsession.

For that,

you fought against

so many powerful officials and members of the peerage.

My obsession

is power.

Only with that

can I control my destiny.

However,

obsession always comes

with a price.

Price?

It is nothing

compared to the reward.

If I was the one

on the throne,

you wouldn't have paid

such a huge price

for justice.

No.

If it was me,

the Censor case would never happen.

I've seen too many people

in the capital.

Even the good

do bad things.

Or

for what they believe is right,

they are willing to harm others.

Many have forgotten what they once stood for.

How can you be sure

that you can stay true to your heart?

You don't trust me?

For your obsession,

you took over the throne

and threw the realm into chaos.

Isn't it for your own interest?

You used explosives

and threatened using the lives of the officials.

You treated people's lives as nothing.

Aren't you already lost?

Everyone believes

that when they have

the power,

they can make a difference.

How do you know that I can't?

For me, both the deeds

and the intention matter.

Where are my officials?

Where is everyone?

Ye Ping'an,

you put me into the dream!

The Empress

set off the fireworks for you.

When Wu Xian'er believes

that the Wu family is winning,

her mind will be

the most vulnerable

because of her arrogance.

I will compel her at that moment

and buy time

for our men to enter the pavilion.

Nichang,

I need you to play the pipa

to cover for the ring of my bell,

in case Wu Xian'er notices it.

Miss Ye.

Protect the officials

and evacuate them from the pavilion.

Hurry up.

Go.

This way.

Hurry.

No way.

No way.

No way!

Xian Guangping

set off the fireworks.

Don't lie to me!

The Prince of Kangping

lost.

He lost?

How's that possible?

The Yulin Royal Guard

was already gone!

Xian'er!

Come to your senses.

You lost.

It's time to wake up.

Don't get lost in your dreams.

Shut up!

I see.

Those

who surrounded the pavilion

were people from you.

Only the winner makes the rules.

So

this is the taste of the loser.

Ye Ping'an.

In the end,

you won.

Ping'an.

Do you still remember

what you gave me

the first time I visited your place

and asked you to treat me?

This liquor

is strong,

but

nothing special.

This is

what you need.

What can unravel these woes of mine?

I know but one drink, Du Kang Wine.

Unfortunately,

there is

no liquor like that

to cure my mind anymore.

You should go.

Xian'er!

Watch out!

[Zhanlu Hall]

You are saying

that Ye Ping'an is dead?

Your Majesty,

she died in the fire.

We cannot get her body.

Your Majesty,

Mr. Yuan was dedicated to protecting Your Majesty.

He also exposed the scheme of Wu Youjing

and figured out the problem of the salt.

However, he goes his own way

and likes to exaggerate for credit.

He should be punished.

You are very talkative now.

Yuan Shaocheng,

during the investigation,

you acted in your own way,

sometimes very inappropriate.

You are penalized with half a year's pay.

Reflect on your mistakes.

Thank you for your forgiveness, Your Majesty.

You may rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

However,

for the first three things Fan Cheng mentioned,

you made extraordinary contributions.

The Right Chancellor's position

has been empty for a while.

Are you interested?

I would like

to recommend someone.

Mr. Ji, the Minister of Revenue,

is benevolent

and loyal.

He is more suitable to be the Right Chancellor than me.

Mr. Ji

is a good candidate indeed.

However, you should still be rewarded.

Do you have any requests?

With due respect, I would like

to present a memorial

about the low status,

the land,

and the salt.

[Low status] Nothing you mentioned...

[Land]

[Salt] is minor.

I am aware

that it is not realistic to abolish

the low status completely.

However,

the people of Mang Gutter have been slaves for three generations.

They have nothing to do

with the mistakes their ancestors made.

I would like to propose

the removal of low status

for the capable and virtuous ones

among them.

If these people

get the chance to serve the realm,

they will be very grateful to Your Majesty.

Yuan Shaocheng.

You are

very bold.

You want to measure the land

and collect tax from everyone, including the royals and officials.

You also want to give the land of the convicts

to the farmers.

Even if I agree with your suggestions,

it will be extremely difficult

to put them into practice.

It might not

go as you wish.

As for the salt...

Your Majesty,

the price of salt is still rising.

Illegal salt can still be found.

I believe

it cannot be solved simply by punishing

the corrupt officials.

Now, the border is peaceful,

and Your Majesty

is reforming the bureaucracy.

The national treasury is filling up.

It would be nice

to take the chance

and reform the salt system.

Free trade should be allowed.

An auspicious sign

appears in Zechuan.

Make a draft

to grant an amnesty.

The people of Mang Gutter should be able to get rid of their low status

and own land.

There will no longer be official salt,

but the free trade of salt.

Mr. Ji

is promoted to Right Chancellor,

with the authority to participate in key decisions.

Yuan Shaocheng,

since you're determined

to do more good for the people,

I will

transfer you to the Ministry of Revenue.

You will serve as Minister of Revenue.

I am very grateful, Your Majesty.

[Zhanlu Hall]

I saw the people of Mang Gutter

at the Eternal Pavilion last night.

They are finally seen by the Empress.

Ping'an,

you should take the credit with me.

I'm not going.

However,

I need two promises.

Tell me.

First,

when Her Majesty rewards you or your service,

I want you to request a reform of the salt administration

and reasonable salt prices.

Sure. I will.

How about the second one?

If the Empress ever asks,

tell her that I died.

Why?

The Empress was the one who told me

the Wu family would send a message by using fireworks.

You are saying

that the Empress knew the Wu family was going to rebel in advance.

As long as I'm alive,

I can only be one remedy

in the Empress' hands.

Compared to that,

I would rather be free.

I value keeping true to myself

more

than understanding others.

So what is your plan

after this?

Nichang is going back to Yangzhou.

My aunt is going

to live in the mountains with Gui.

As for me,

maybe I will have another clinic,

or I will wander around the world.

Who knows?

We have so many choices.

Ping'an.

It's another day.
