The Wei family's century of merit

was bought with thousands,

tens of thousands of lives

from our clan.

It must not,

and will not, fall here.

If His Majesty insists on condemning Wei Yun,

we will kneel here without rising.

Even if we freeze to death,

we will

hold him up.

(Chengqing Gate)

(Brother Wei Jun,)

(you broke your promise.)

(But you died for our state.)

(You are a hero.)

(From here on,)

(Chengqing Gate)

(even if I am alone,)

(I'll uncover the truth.)

(I won't let the traitor who leaked)

(the crossbow plans go free.)

(May your spirit)

(rest.)

(Chengqing Gate)

Eat.

Lord Cao says

that you spent years on campaign

and is used to this food.

You'd

better eat.

No one

will visit you

again.

(Chengqing Gate)

Han.

Wei Qiu,

escort Lady Han back.

Yu,

Lan is pregnant.

Let her return too.

Wei Qiu,

escort Lady Lan as well.

Careful.

(Tablet of Wei Zhong, Marquis of Zhenguo)

(Chengqing Gate)

Look, entire Wei family

are still kneeling.

They've been kneeling a long time.

Yes.

And right here at the gate.

(Zhang An, Deputy Minister of Personnel)

Deputy Minister Zhang,

where are you going?

Mr. cao,

I'm going to another gate.

I won't enter from here.

Why?

Heroes rest here.

How could I take their path?

The side gate is enough.

Such pretense.

Lady Chu,

why pretending like this?

If kneeling could move His Majesty,

what use

is our law?

Mr. Cao is right.

You ignore the law and try

to coerce the throne.

The law may be rigid.

Our laws exist for the people.

Duke of Ning and Lord Cao,

you've reversed cause and effect.

Teacher.

Sincerity

can pierce stone.

Academician Gu,

what does that old man's

saying mean?

Mr. Cao,

the snow is coming.

Best hurry.

If you can't take it,

go rest a while.

I'm fine.

If you can stand,

so can I.

Sister,

are you alright?

Just because you called me "Sister,"

I must hold on.

Since we're here,

there's no turning back.

Linyang, it's freezing.

Don't go.

Chu Linyang!

Chu Linyang!

Dressed like this,

are you going to the palace?

You returned from Fengling injured

and haven't attended court.

Now, with the Wei family in crisis,

you go despite illness?

Chu Yu is already married into the Wei family.

At this moment

you should avoid suspicion.

Otherwise His Majesty

will doubt our families' ties.

If we

anger Duke of Ning,

how will the Chu family survive?

Mother,

in the wind and snow at the Chu Mansion,

someone can holds an umbrella for us.

But before the palace gates,

no one shields Yu from the storm.

I'm going today

not for anyone else,

but for her.

She chose to marry into the Wei family.

She chose to kneel at the palace gates.

Every bit of suffering

is her own doing.

Linyang,

this family

isn't only her.

If something happens to you,

what will Mother and I do?

Do you only

see Chu Yu as you sister,

but not me?

Jin,

if you were the one kneeling at the gate today,

I would go without hesitation

to shield you as well.

I don't believe you.

Linyang, make your choice

between Jin and Yu today.

If you step out that gate,

you lose me as your sister.

Jin,

stop being childish.

I must go today.

Mother,

Yu is holding up

the entire Wei family alone.

No one stands behind her.

I am her brother,

her family.

How can I do nothing?

Brother!

Your Majesty,

Wei Yun is now

imprisoned by the Court

of Judicial Review,

yet Minister Cao

has found no solid evidence

against the Wei family.

Without evidence,

Wei Yun should be released.

I beg Your Majesty to show mercy.

I, Chu Linyang, implore

Your Majesty to pardon Wei Yun.

Young General Chu,

you came to court too today.

My father died for the state.

Now

I am weak in body, and

my younger sister bears the burden alone,

defending Wei family's honor

with all her loyalty.

I cannot bear it,

so I beg for her sake.

General Chu, are you trying to sway

His Majesty with sentiment?

Seventy thousand loyal souls

lie buried in Baidi Valley, Your Majesty.

This cannot be investigated

overnight.

Please give

the Court more time.

I will definitely

unveil the truth.

If the Wei family is truly innocent,

we will clear their name.

Your Majesty,

seventy thousand

died because Wei Zhong

sought merit and acted rashly.

Seven members of the Wei family died.

Are their lives considered lives,

but the seventy thousand

are not?

Duke of Ning,

hearing you speak

so confidently,

one might think

you actually

was there in Baidi Valley.

Your Highness, you jest.

I am but a civil official,

unfit for the battlefield.

Good.

Since you insist,

I will support you.

A war I choose to fight,

I never lose.

Changming?

You came too?

Forgive me, Brother.

I shouldn't be here,

but this concerns Huan.

As his aunt,

I cannot stay away.

Her Highness is right.

Since the Crown Prince

and General Yao are here,

let them recount

the events so His Majesty

may judge fairly.

Huan is grown,

brave and capable

even in the battlefield.

About what happened in Baidi Valley,

even if he says nothing,

I believe

the Court

will uncover the truth.

As crown prince

and His Majesty's only bloodline,

he knows Him best.

His Majesty never spares

a guilty man

nor wrongs an innocent one.

Am I right,

Huan?

Father,

though seventy thousand died,

the Wei family

has always been loyal.

Everything they did

was for the realm

and the people.

Their merits outweigh faults.

Please spare Wei Yun.

Your Majesty,

if a man sheds blood

for the realm,

yet his widows and orphans

must still suffer cold and scorn,

if a family that has fought

for four generations

still leaves its descendants disgraced,

then the hearts

of those

seventy thousand

who died will freeze.

Your Majesty,

for the Wei family's

century of loyalty,

please free Wei Yun.

We beg Your Majesty.

We beg Your Majesty.

- We beg Your Majesty. - We beg Your Majesty.

- We beg Your Majesty. - We beg Your Majesty.

- We beg Your Majesty. - We beg Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

this case is grave.

Even with all these pleas,

the law cannot be ignored.

Please rule impartially.

You rascal,

speaking wildly again.

Your Majesty,

if you add my plea,

surely it carries weight.

Your Majesty,

since even Duke of Hu

begs for the Wei family,

you might as well visit the Madam

of the Wei family at the palace gate.

Once you see her,

you will understand

why we kneel here

and plea for them.

(Chengqing Gate) His Majesty arrives!

(Chengqing Gate)

Still pretending.

If you admire them so much,

wait till you die,

you can have your descendants

set out your memorial tablet too.

Mind your step, Your Majesty.

Whose wife are you?

Your Majesty,

I am

the wife

of General Wei Jun,

the daughter of Chu Jianchang, Chu Yu.

You kneel here asking to see me

for what matter?

My entire family has come

to beg Your Majesty

to release Wei Yun.

The state has its laws.

Yes,

I understand.

Laws

are not for personal desires.

I was born into a military family

and once followed my father to war,

taking the protection of home as my duty,

the Wei family even more so.

I do not know what crime the Wei family committed,

nor what crime Wei Yun committed.

I only know the Wei family's loyalty.

If Your Majesty

insists he pay

for his mistakes,

I beg you

let him die on the battlefield,

not

in prison,

to honor

the Wei family's devotion to the realm.

(Spirit Tablet of Wei Jun Spirit Tablet of Wei Zhong)

(Spirit tablet of Wei Ya)

(Spirit tablet of Wei Rong)

Bring Wei Yun to court.

Yu.

Yu.

I, Wei Yun,

bows before Your Majesty.

What...

How did he get hurt like this?

He was only jailed,

how did it become this?

Cao Yan!

I did not know

the Court was this incompetent.

Do you only torture confessions out of people?

Your Majesty,

I am fearful.

I acted strictly under orders

and would never overstep.

Was it under imperial orders

that you whipped my father

and brothers' coffins in public?

Whipped Lady Yu?

And drove my mother to her death in the street?

The Wei family is a family of criminals.

If I am a criminal,

my guilt should be judged by His Majesty.

I ask you:

did His Majesty order these things?

Answer me.

I have not yet been convicted,

yet you abuse private punishment

and mistreat an official.

Was that under His Majesty's orders as well?

Chancellor.

Your Majesty.

The case is not yet concluded,

yet Mr. Cao

has disgraced the entire Wei family.

This is a shame

of our dynasty.

Guards!

Cao Yan, Minister of Justice,

for dereliction of duty and abuse of power,

take him to the dungeon

to await judgment.

Your Majesty!

I am innocent!

I acted for the state!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, have mercy!

Your Majesty! Spare me!

Your Majesty!

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is wise.

Wei Zhong was

my study companion in childhood.

Since he died for the country,

I must

show care

for his bloodline.

Wei Yun,

I hope you live well

and restore the Wei household.

As long as you live,

the Wei family's spirit lives on.

Yun,

do you understand

my burdens?

I don't understand many things.

I only know

I am of the Wei family.

I will protect the realm,

the land, and the people,

with no regret in life or death.

Good.

Good.

Go back

and recover well.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I've come back alive.

Good,

you didn't keep me waiting long.

You haven't come to the palace in a long time.

Do you still remember this centennial soup?

You used to

love it.

Thank you, Brother.

But time has passed,

and my tastes have changed.

I fear I'll

disappoint you.

As long as you come often,

I'll have them

prepare anything you like.

Thank you.

I came today

to ask something of you.

I know,

you're here about

the Wei family.

Yes.

I'm here for the Wei family,

and for you.

Your rule is already unstable,

do you not see it?

Generals of Chu and Wei have fallen one after another,

as if the army has lost both arms.

Our state has been at war year after year.

Now even Wei Zhong is gone.

If you don't release Wei Yun

to lead the Wei household,

when war breaks out again,

who will hold the line?

I know you wish

to balance civil and military power

and avoid strong military clans growing too close.

And I know the Duke of Ning

supports peace talks with North Qi

to gain time to recover,

to win without fighting.

But you cannot

negotiate from a losing position.

My rule

was built with your blood and tears.

I won't let you down.

Since you already has a plan in mind,

I'm relieved.

I'll take my leave.

When will you visit the palace again?

Whenever you summons me,

I will come.

But there are some past matters

I do not wish to hear again.

Back then,

so I could inherit

the throne,

Changming married the Jinxi Military Governor,

buying his support for me.

But after the wedding,

she suffered endless torment.

She has

escaped that misery,

yet I know

my Changming

has never

truly healed.

Those memories remain

a knot between us.

I

owe her so much.

My Lady,

the way you're drinking that medicine

looks like you're ready to die heroically.

Who'd imagine

our fearless Lady Chu

is actually

afraid of medicine?

Right,

how is Wei Yun?

General Wei,

I need to press out

the pus in your leg before applying medicine.

Bear with it.

Doctor,

please

be gentle.

I've seen mountains of corpses

on the battlefield,

how could I fear this?

It's bone-deep.

You must rest more.

I'll take my leave.

How is she?

Why do you care about him?

You look like this—

sick and wounded—

because of him.

And this is his family's home.

Plenty of people care for him here.

My lady,

even in the southwest,

you never fell ill like this.

But after just days in the Wei household,

you're making up

for every sickness

and disaster

you never had.

I don't regret it.

I don't regret saving Wei Yun.

My Lord.

Linyang?

Yu.

Yu.

Linyang,

why are you here?

You were gravely ill,

so I came to bring you home.

But seeing you like this,

you seem to be recovering well.

Of course!

Who am I?

I'm Chu Yu,

strong as ever.

But I still worry.

Yu,

come home with me.

There are many ways

to find the truth.

You don't have to sacrifice yourself like this.

- I can't just watch you... - Linyang,

what I'm investigating

isn't solved yet.

The road I'm walking

hasn't reached its end.

Besides, didn't I save

Wei Yun today?

The Wei family hasn't fallen.

And I believe

winter's snow will melt,

and spring's flowers will bloom.

I won't give up.

I will keep going.

Young General Chu

wanted to take Lady Chu back home,

but she

insisted on staying.

The doctor visited her.

She only needs

a few days' rest.

(Duke of Ning's Mansion)

Duke.

Academician Gu,

in court today,

what possessed you

to forget

who granted you

your current success?

You're angry that

I didn't stand up for you?

Father,

the doctor said your liver fire is high.

Please don't get angry.

Drink some tea please.

Chusheng

is not an ungrateful man.

There must be

a misunderstanding.

Here,

have some tea.

If you won't drink it,

I won't believe any "misunderstanding."

Father,

the tea is very hot.

His seat is also very hot.

Let him feel it.

Thank you for the tea.

Wait.

Let me

fill your cup to the brim.

You know it's hot now?

So listen.

Otherwise, go back to the southwest.

There's only cold tea there.

I will remember

your teachings,

Duke.

Chusheng!
