If I can't get what I want,

no one will.

No!

My Lord,

please,

please spare her.

I...

I will always be the sword in your hand.

No.

You're nothing but my dog.

Yes.

I'll do anything you ask.

Shiqi.

Shiqi.

Go see him off.

You likely won't see him again.

Such a tragic parting.

I love it.

Shiqi.

Do you regret the situation we're in now?

No.

Tomorrow, you marry again.

But this time, I can't come to stop it.

So take my life as a wedding gift.

You must come back alive.

Live well.

Let me protect you

just this one last time.

Lu Shiqi.

We both need to live well.

Dressed in red, I'll be waiting for you to marry me.

My Lord,

Lu Shiqi is truly a hopeless romantic.

This is exactly what I wanted.

Use his love to erode his loyalty

and help me achieve my great ambition.

The court ministers and several generals holding significant military power

have all come with their families.

Entertain them well. Don't let a single one leave.

Once the message arrives, I'll mobilize troops to protect His Majesty.

Yes.

(We both need to live well.)

(Dressed in red, I'll be waiting for you to marry me.)

(Yunhe.)

(Even if the world falls into ruin,)

(I will still hold your hand.)

(Pledging the rest of my life,)

(I vow to stay with you through life and death.)

It's you.

Have you come to mock me?

Fanghua.

What you did was right.

You just misplaced your trust, devotion and love.

Now that you've seen Lord Huai'en's true colors,

there's no need for self-pity here.

Over here.

Master.

Master.

Danqing.

- Master. - Master.

Master.

Master.

You all came.

Danruo.

You succeeded.

Thanks to your message,

I ambushed them outside the city and rescued everyone.

It's my fault that you ended up like this.

From now on, I am no longer your master.

We've never blamed you.

Without you, we'd have died long ago.

Everyone,

let's fight our way out together!

- Fight our way out! - Fight our way out!

Lu Shiqi! Are you trying to assassinate the Emperor and rebel?

Lu Shiqi.

Lu Xinnian, why aren't you wearing the wedding dress I prepared for you?

Want me to wear a wedding dress for you?

You're not worthy.

You can only be my enemy.

Never mind.

This wedding itself is your funeral.

You can wear anything.

Don't worry.

You will get nothing

you desire.

Fine.

I'll let you see with your own eyes

how I ascend to the throne.

Your Majesty.

I'm late to your rescue.

Lu Shiqi.

You killed the Emperor to seize his power.

It's unpardonable.

It was you who threatened Yunhe's life to force me to assassinate the Emperor.

Do you admit it?

So what if I did?

Now you have a sword in hand. No way to prove your innocence.

Do you think there is no justice?

Justice.

I am justice!

Today, in the name of heaven,

I will eradicate a traitor like you!

Guards! Kill Lu Shiqi!

Stop.

Your Majesty.

Uncle, I treated you as family, but you deceived me.

Lu Shiqi, how dare you betray me!

Bring the person in!

Aren't you afraid I will kill her?

Guards.

Lord Huai'en is plotting a rebellion. Seize him.

Seize me?

With just you and Lu Shiqi?

Who said it's only Lu Shiqi?

Lord Huai'en.

You are treacherous and vicious.

Everyone wants you dead.

Danruo, you succeeded.

Thanks to your message,

I ambushed them outside the city and rescued everyone.

It's my fault that you ended up like this.

From now on, I am no longer your master.

We've never blamed you.

Without you, we'd have died long ago.

Lord Huai'en is preoccupied now. Hurry and leave.

What about you?

I still have unfinished business.

Where are you going?

Lord Huai'en forced Shiqi to kill the Emperor. His Majesty is in danger!

You can't defeat Lord Huai'en.

Going like this is just suicide.

Even if I can't win, I'll fight.

I won't give up even with my last breath.

Yunhe, we are people of the martial world.

But also people of the Kingdom Li.

I will go with you.

Danruo.

Yes.

We must stop Lord Huai'en

from claiming the throne.

Count me in. I'm going too.

But this journey is fraught with danger.

I don't want you to face danger again.

No kingdom, no home.

We women of Bloom Lane

must strive for peace for the people.

Everyone.

I swear,

if I survive,

I will secure a future of dignity for all of you.

Everyone, let's fight our way out together!

- Fight our way out! - Fight our way out!

It's you.

You deliberately stayed in the mansion to deceive me.

Since we were going all in,

we must plan carefully.
