♫ I start to dance nimbly and gracefully ♫
4
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:16,300
♫ For what my beautiful face is frowned? ♫
5
00:00:16,300 --> 00:00:23,000
♫ Without him, I'll drift with the current ♫
6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,800
♫ Why is the tune of the zither a farewell song? ♫
7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,800
♫ Without me, he'll be lonely in this universe ♫
8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:40,000
♫ My heart silently waits at the cliff of Firmament ♫

~ Episode 27 ~
23
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,900
Tang Bonian was born in the urban streets. He is a very cautious person.
24
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:51,400
To let him lead an army of 50,000 back to the capital just based on a letter from Capital Kun,
25
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,400
I bet he wouldn't act so easily,
26
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,800
But would seek for confirmation.
27
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,600
If we want to break his doubts, we need someone close to the Prime Minister.
28
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,800
Personally tell him that everything is real
29
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,400
and that person is you.
30
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:13,000
Mister Yun, please.
31
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:25,200
- Mister Yun.
- General Tang.
32
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,800
Sorry for not giving you proper respect.
33
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,900
- Inside please.
- Please.
34
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,300
Mister Yun, it has already been 2 years since we've last met.
35
00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:40,400
Mister, you've become buffer and taller.
36
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,800
General Tang still is very energetic.
37
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,500
Godfather said, with you here,
38
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:47,500
the southern border will be in peace for a hundred years.
39
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,800
I've aged, I've aged. I'm no longer that useful.
40
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,800
- Please.
- Please.
41
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,200
My small place
42
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,800
is at least 300 li from Capital Kun.
43
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,600
Mister, you personally came here.
44
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,600
If I knew, I would have sent someone to get you.
45
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,900
This is Godfather's meaning.
46
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:15,200
Before I left, he specifically instructed to not let anyone notice me.
47
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,200
I also just received Prime Minister's letter.
48
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,500
The letter said for me to lead my men back to the capital.
49
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:27,800
This... is there any movements going on at Captial Kun?
50
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,300
I came for this matter.
51
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,800
There are some words that are inconvenient for the Prime Minister to say in a letter.
52
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Hence, he sent me to travel day and night
53
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,400
to personally explain them to you.
54
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,600
What orders does the Prime Minister have?
55
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,200
The Prime Minister said,
56
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,400
that we can proceed with the plan that we've been devising for so many years.
57
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,860
An uprising?
58
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,000
So, when General enters Capital Kun with your men,
59
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,200
must be done secretly. We have to take them by surprise.
60
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,600
According to the Prime Ministers orders, you will first lead 50,000 men.
61
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,400
The remaining 100,000 men will be the back-up.
62
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:35,000
Divide into 3 groups, 3 different routes, to create an enclosure formation.
63
00:04:56,300 --> 00:05:00,300
General, just 30 li more forward and will be within the territory of Bright District.
64
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,600
Should we continue marching, or...
65
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,600
The messenger I sent to deliver a letter to Rong'er hasn't returned up to now.
66
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,200
What is the situation in Capital Kun?
67
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,600
I don't have any idea at all.
68
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,800
But didn't the Prime Minister say in the letter that
69
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,400
- everything has been appropriately prepared?
- Let's wait a little more.
70
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:33,500
The day before yesterday, father suddenly sent me a secret letter.
71
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:37,800
He said that Prime Minister ordered him to lead 50,000 men from his General Border Security to set out northwards.
72
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,000
But Father was worried there was something wrong,
73
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,700
and asked Rong'er to inquire about the matter.
74
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:45,540
Oh?
75
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,100
Do you know that
76
00:05:49,100 --> 00:05:53,800
what it connotes for a border general to lead his army towards the capital
77
00:05:55,790 --> 00:05:58,050
without any permission?
78
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,600
Treason.
79
00:06:14,750 --> 00:06:16,900
As long as you understand.
80
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,600
Your Majesty, I know very well that this is a grave crime punishable by execution of the whole clan.
81
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,200
Although my father has misjudged,
82
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,800
but I as a daughter cannot misjudge too.
83
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,800
How should I respond to this letter?
84
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,500
I ask for Your Majesty's guidance.
85
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,100
What a smart lady.
86
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,300
But its a pity, you were born in the wrong family.
87
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:53,200
I know very well about Tang Bonian's every move.
88
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,000
But you, with you being this understanding and reasonable,
89
00:06:59,190 --> 00:07:02,030
instead got dragged into this rebellion case.
90
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:06,200
It's a pity.
91
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,000
Your Majesty. Your Majesty!
92
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
I have already decided.
93
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,800
I already married away from the Tang Family. I am not a part of the Tang Family anymore.
94
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,400
Now Your Majesty's safety is also my safety.
95
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,800
Your Majesty's enemies is my enemies.
96
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,200
I ... I ask Your Majesty to take into consideration my loyalty
97
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,200
and spare me.
98
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,200
I don't want to die.
99
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:42,900
What are you crying for?
100
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,000
Your father's Border Security Troop is the state's elite army.
101
00:07:50,900 --> 00:07:53,600
If we're able to take them without shedding any blood
102
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,500
and cut off a wing of Qi Zhen at the same time,
103
00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:02,810
I will heavily reward you.
104
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,400
What Your Majesty means is...
105
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,100
What do you say?
106
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,100
I will inform father...
107
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:36,300
that the Prime Minister ... has already arranged for everything.
108
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:44,300
And for him to enter the capital assuredly.
109
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,710
The crime of a father doesn't apply to his daughter.
110
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:14,500
Rong'er, I understand your actions today.
111
00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:17,640
And I also have my plans.
112
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,000
Thanks, Your Majesty.
113
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,800
Bestowing Lady Precious Tang Zhirong
114
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,700
as the Lady of the Forever Excellent Palace Hall. The grand wedding ceremony
115
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:44,500
is set in the auspicious 19th day of the 10 month.
116
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:48,600
She's also being granted the title Queen Zhaoyuan.
117
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,800
Spread this decree to the whole Deep Water.
118
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,800
Father, don't blame me.
119
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,200
You had a heroic reputation, but you followed the wrong master.
120
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,500
Hence, regardless if your plan succeeds or not, you will get killed.
121
00:10:29,390 --> 00:10:34,630
And daughter just wants to continue living.
122
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,000
There's an ambush!
123
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,900
Hurry and retreat! Be careful, there's an ambush!
124
00:12:30,980 --> 00:12:35,370
Why hasn't Young Master went to look for Miss Fuyao these past few days?
125
00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:39,460
When did you become this meddlesome?
126
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,370
Why should I go and look for her everyday?
127
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,480
Could it be that you are still mad at her?
128
00:12:51,730 --> 00:12:53,530
Mad?
129
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:57,490
Am I person that casually expresses his temper?
130
00:12:58,910 --> 00:13:03,070
Before, Mister has always been good in devising strategies.
131
00:13:03,070 --> 00:13:05,500
Everything is under your control.
132
00:13:05,500 --> 00:13:09,620
I also haven't seen Young Master be like this before.
133
00:13:09,620 --> 00:13:14,250
But... every since Miss Fuyao appeared,
134
00:13:14,250 --> 00:13:17,100
Mister has become more humane.
135
00:13:20,660 --> 00:13:23,770
Are you saying that I wasn't like a human in the past?
136
00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:25,410
I don't dare to.
137
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,580
This girl is too stubborn.
138
00:13:29,580 --> 00:13:34,360
After being lectured by her that day, I was indeed unhappy.
139
00:13:37,460 --> 00:13:39,000
You, say.
140
00:13:39,810 --> 00:13:42,430
Am I a person that likes to control people's hearts
141
00:13:42,430 --> 00:13:44,770
and use their trust?
142
00:13:45,550 --> 00:13:47,780
That is because Mister is wise.
143
00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:50,990
But I refuse to use her.
144
00:13:50,990 --> 00:13:53,710
That's why, Mister did everything
145
00:13:53,710 --> 00:13:56,610
to let Tang Zhirong be the Empress.
146
00:14:01,610 --> 00:14:05,750
Mister actually cares about Miss Fuyao a lot.
147
00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:09,500
You are afraid that she'll get dragged into Deep Water Nation's misfortune.
148
00:14:12,180 --> 00:14:14,890
Was I becoming too kind with you lately?
149
00:14:17,380 --> 00:14:19,340
Why are you so talkative?
150
00:14:21,580 --> 00:14:24,380
I'll go to the inner palace now to get my punishment.
151
00:14:53,230 --> 00:14:55,860
Prime Minister Manor
152
00:15:07,050 --> 00:15:08,460
Godfather.
153
00:15:08,460 --> 00:15:10,010
The rumors are true.
154
00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:12,100
Tang Bonian indeed led 50,000 members of the General Border Security
155
00:15:12,100 --> 00:15:15,000
to rush here to Capital Kun. This time, he has prepared enough military provisions
156
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,010
and traveled throughout the night. He even avoided
157
00:15:17,010 --> 00:15:20,310
the cities and took the mountain path.
158
00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:23,860
Is Tang Bonian trying to rebel?
159
00:15:23,860 --> 00:15:27,940
I've already secretly contacted the spies we have in the General Border Security.
160
00:15:27,940 --> 00:15:29,960
But...
161
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,120
Say it!
162
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,230
There are no news at all. I fear that they might have been removed already.
163
00:15:37,230 --> 00:15:40,410
Looks like he has been planning this for a long time.
164
00:15:40,410 --> 00:15:43,010
I sent someone to secretly look for him,
165
00:15:43,010 --> 00:15:47,120
but up to now, he hasn't returned.
166
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,450
Could there be another reason behind this?
167
00:15:49,450 --> 00:15:51,550
A hidden reason?
168
00:15:51,550 --> 00:15:55,090
The reason is he has been using his daughter to secretly communicate with Xuanyuan Min
169
00:15:55,090 --> 00:15:58,880
and has betrayed me long time ago!
170
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,650
No wonder that despite so many women in the royal harem,
171
00:16:01,650 --> 00:16:05,550
he only favored Tang Zhirong.
172
00:16:05,550 --> 00:16:09,510
Yesterday, he even conferred the queen position without any reason at all.
173
00:16:09,510 --> 00:16:12,800
I fear that this 50,000 General Border Security soldiers
174
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,690
has already sided with Xuanyuan Min.
175
00:16:16,570 --> 00:16:22,210
What do we do? Without this 50,000 army, won't yourr grand ambition...
176
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:27,650
Yun Hen, the arrow is already on the bowstring. We must fire it.
177
00:16:27,650 --> 00:16:31,610
I'll have to rely on you.
178
00:16:32,780 --> 00:16:33,820
Don't worry, Godfather.
179
00:16:33,820 --> 00:16:35,310
Wait a second.
180
00:16:38,590 --> 00:16:41,220
Let me think about it again.
181
00:16:42,450 --> 00:16:44,690
You may leave first.
182
00:16:44,690 --> 00:16:46,140
Yes.
183
00:16:59,690 --> 00:17:03,660
When we return to the manor, continue staying by Qi Zhen's side,
184
00:17:03,660 --> 00:17:05,830
Just like that past.
185
00:17:10,850 --> 00:17:13,560
What Qi Zhen must pay us back
186
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,470
is not only his life.
187
00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:33,140
[At the third quarter of xu hour (around 8 pm), will wait for Prime Minister at Xie (Slant) Bridge in Forever Water.]
188
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,450
[... await the Prime Minister]
189
00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:42,990
Since this I'm planning a grand game, why would I bet on just one pawn?
190
00:18:13,930 --> 00:18:15,570
Your Majesty.
191
00:18:17,010 --> 00:18:19,100
What's the matter? Say it.
192
00:18:20,070 --> 00:18:21,660
This...
193
00:18:24,830 --> 00:18:27,980
Your Majesty, why don't I leave first?
194
00:18:27,980 --> 00:18:32,020
It's okay. Just be frank.
195
00:18:32,020 --> 00:18:34,420
Rong'er isn't an outsider.
196
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:35,940
Yes.
197
00:18:37,180 --> 00:18:41,910
General Border Security Tang Bonian has led 50,000 of his men to enter the capital without permission.
198
00:18:41,910 --> 00:18:43,950
I already knew about this.
199
00:18:43,950 --> 00:18:49,110
But halfway, they all disappeared.
200
00:18:50,030 --> 00:18:51,540
Oh?
201
00:19:08,510 --> 00:19:12,430
Rong'er, what's wrong?
202
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,150
I'm just... I'm just...
203
00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:22,480
...worried for Your Majesty.
204
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,540
I indeed am worried.
205
00:19:28,120 --> 00:19:30,800
How could an army
206
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,900
just disappear?
207
00:19:34,620 --> 00:19:37,010
Can it be the Prime Minister, he...
208
00:19:37,010 --> 00:19:39,830
Qi Zhen also sent a huge number of men to search for them.
209
00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:43,080
It's just that there are still no traces of them up to now.
210
00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:49,000
Where is Tang Bonian now?
211
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,440
He has already been locked up.
212
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,970
What we sent are all reliable master fighters. They didn't leave any trace.
213
00:19:54,970 --> 00:19:59,060
Qi Zhen's men will never find General Tang.
214
00:19:59,060 --> 00:20:00,700
Watch him well.
215
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:02,240
Yes.
216
00:20:09,980 --> 00:20:12,860
Do you know why I locked Tang Bonian up?
217
00:20:17,070 --> 00:20:22,460
Father... is guilty.
218
00:20:22,460 --> 00:20:26,400
It's true that he's guilty, but it's not enough to get executed.
219
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:31,400
But if Qi Zhen finds him
220
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,040
then you won't be able to protect your life.
221
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:36,620
Do you understand?
222
00:20:39,060 --> 00:20:41,090
I understand.
223
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,360
Mister Yun.
224
00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:08,240
T-this what's going on?
225
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,850
Why did you come just now? Where is this place?
226
00:21:09,850 --> 00:21:12,500
Hurry and let the Prime Minister come and save me.
227
00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:15,240
We haven't met in fifteen years.
228
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,060
General Tang, I reckon that you've been well.
229
00:21:19,850 --> 00:21:21,770
Who are you?
230
00:21:27,980 --> 00:21:30,570
Qilin Dragon Tattoo?
231
00:21:32,430 --> 00:21:36,080
You are... you are Eldest Mister?
232
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,320
Impossible. Impossible.
233
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,430
That time in Heir Apparent Manor, you already...
234
00:21:40,430 --> 00:21:43,840
Already got killed by you guys, is that it?
235
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,970
Good thing, the heaven's law shines on everything.
236
00:21:45,970 --> 00:21:48,830
I still have to thank your oversight that day
237
00:21:48,830 --> 00:21:51,450
and let me pick up my life.
238
00:21:53,950 --> 00:21:57,620
Mister Yun, what's going on?
239
00:21:57,620 --> 00:21:59,610
Mister Yun?
240
00:21:59,610 --> 00:22:03,670
I forgot to tell you. His surname is also Xuanyuan.
241
00:22:03,670 --> 00:22:08,170
Heir Apparent Wen's two sons are standing in front of you now.
242
00:22:08,170 --> 00:22:11,990
General Tang, what other words do you have to say?
243
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,420
The wheel of fortune turns!
244
00:22:31,140 --> 00:22:36,980
My return to the capital this time was actually a trap set up by you.
245
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:43,790
That's also good. Both Misters,
246
00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:48,290
are you here to demand me my life or to seek revenge?
247
00:22:48,290 --> 00:22:50,810
I want to know the truth.
248
00:22:50,810 --> 00:22:52,990
Truth?
249
00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:58,350
Heir Apparent Wen's crime of rebellion
250
00:22:58,350 --> 00:23:01,940
was indeed a frame up.
251
00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:07,970
Was it Qi Zhen who did it? Say it!
252
00:23:09,370 --> 00:23:14,260
That time, Heir Apparent Wenyi successively pacified uprisings
253
00:23:14,260 --> 00:23:17,260
and eliminated bandits.
254
00:23:17,260 --> 00:23:22,440
In terms of martial arts skills, no one can be his equal.
255
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:28,450
Technically speaking, this is Deep Water Nation's great fortune.
256
00:23:28,450 --> 00:23:33,050
But...Renzhong is old.
257
00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:39,020
He isn't close with this eldest son anymore. The one he cares more about
258
00:23:39,020 --> 00:23:43,220
is the younger son that kept appearing in front of him.
259
00:23:45,340 --> 00:23:48,700
It's the past Emperor, Xuanyuan Ren?
260
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:54,440
Indeed. The more powerful Heir Apparent Wenyi becomes,
261
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,690
the more doubtful Shenzong became.
262
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,690
Qi Zhen was just a lieutenant then.
263
00:24:02,690 --> 00:24:08,900
He chose to stand with Xuanyuan Ren and plot for him.
264
00:24:08,900 --> 00:24:13,400
As long as he was given a chance, he would say bad things
265
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,800
about Heir Apparent Wenyi in front of Shenzong.
266
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:22,770
Afterwards, he even helped Xuanyuan Ren fabricate the evidences of Heir Apparent's rebellion,
267
00:24:22,770 --> 00:24:26,540
things like training a personal army to force the king's abdication,
268
00:24:26,540 --> 00:24:32,890
setting up his sibling, and embezzling money.
269
00:24:32,890 --> 00:24:39,680
Also, poisoning the previous emperor, all these are fake.
270
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:45,130
All were part of Prime Minister and the previous emperor's scheme.
271
00:24:45,130 --> 00:24:50,690
Qi Zhen and Heir Apparent were sworn brothers. Why did he harm him?
272
00:24:50,690 --> 00:24:55,230
Prime Minister is a person greedy for power, while Xuanyuan Ren is a gullible person.
273
00:24:55,230 --> 00:25:00,010
He also wasn't that skillful. Following the Prime Minister
274
00:25:00,010 --> 00:25:02,460
will obviously be much easier.
275
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,280
Moreover, have you two
276
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,660
heard about the Dragon Scale Armor?
277
00:25:11,660 --> 00:25:15,690
Could it be that he didn't took the Dragon Scale Armor as his own
278
00:25:15,690 --> 00:25:18,760
only after harming the Heir Apparent?
279
00:25:19,990 --> 00:25:25,060
It's quite the opposite. They exactly were aiming for the Dragon Scale Armor,
280
00:25:26,730 --> 00:25:31,490
that's why, they wanted Heir Apparent to die.
281
00:25:31,490 --> 00:25:33,860
Why?
282
00:25:33,860 --> 00:25:37,590
The Dragon Scale Armor is a mythical item. Of course,
283
00:25:37,590 --> 00:25:40,430
- everyone wants to have it.
- No.
284
00:25:40,430 --> 00:25:44,310
- That is not the reason.
- Eldest Young Master,
285
00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:50,100
stop interrogating. I've already said what should be said.
286
00:25:50,100 --> 00:25:54,020
It was for his daughter, Qi Yun, right?
287
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,270
Just let us bear all the crimes.
288
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:16,440
Your generation is innocent.
289
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:22,100
Yes. But those 78 lives that tragically died that night,
290
00:26:22,100 --> 00:26:24,580
what crime did they commit?
291
00:26:29,150 --> 00:26:34,480
I'm the one who is guilty...
292
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,960
A life for a life. A blood grudge should be paid with blood.
293
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:45,700
That night, there were several innocent lives that were lost. For this sin,
294
00:26:45,700 --> 00:26:48,830
I'm unable to wash it off even for several lifetimes.
295
00:26:48,830 --> 00:26:54,870
But being able to see you two today, knowing that you two are stiill alive,
296
00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:59,380
I actually felt a bit relieved.
297
00:26:59,380 --> 00:27:02,530
Before, I was afraid of death.
298
00:27:02,530 --> 00:27:06,190
I was afraid that I couldn't even be a ghost when I reach hell.
299
00:27:06,190 --> 00:27:10,390
But after saying all these words today,
300
00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:14,940
I hope that the God of Death
301
00:27:16,210 --> 00:27:19,980
can diminish my sin a little.
302
00:27:23,190 --> 00:27:27,310
Since the day you agreed to become Qi Zhen's lackey,
303
00:27:27,310 --> 00:27:32,550
you should have known that you've committed an unforgivable sin.
304
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:44,400
I've brought all of these to myself.
305
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,060
I am willing to die
306
00:27:48,670 --> 00:27:51,490
to pay for my crimes.
307
00:27:53,660 --> 00:27:58,230
Killing you will just dirty my hands.
308
00:27:58,230 --> 00:28:00,240
I'll let you have a whole corpse.
309
00:28:04,990 --> 00:28:15,090
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com
310
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,820
Young Masters,
311
00:28:27,340 --> 00:28:29,130
take care.
312
00:28:37,540 --> 00:28:39,220
Father!
313
00:28:43,650 --> 00:28:47,620
We've been in Deep Water Nation for at least a hundred days, right?
314
00:28:47,620 --> 00:28:50,450
Counting it, it's been 4 months.
315
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:57,190
From midsummer to autumn, in less than 10 days, it will be winter.
316
00:28:57,190 --> 00:29:01,580
This green pond in front of us will then become frozen.
317
00:29:01,580 --> 00:29:04,880
The scheduled date will be happening soon.
318
00:29:07,190 --> 00:29:11,260
Deep Water Nation is an unending deep pool.
319
00:29:11,260 --> 00:29:14,730
It's time to bring closure to the matters here.
320
00:29:15,850 --> 00:29:19,660
Mister, you already plan to make a move?
321
00:29:21,550 --> 00:29:26,490
Say, what is the purpose of everything that I've done here?
322
00:29:33,290 --> 00:29:36,040
I...
323
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:41,470
Forget it. I've long understood the principles of what should and shouldn't be asked.
324
00:29:41,470 --> 00:29:44,510
What's the difference if you know it or not?
325
00:29:47,770 --> 00:29:51,470
Your Majesty, Marquis is here.
326
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:56,580
- Your Majesty.
- Marquis, please sit down.
- Yes.
327
00:30:00,490 --> 00:30:03,750
What does Marquis think about General Border Security Tang Bonian?
328
00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:09,610
General Tang is meritorious for suppressing state enemies for so many years. Of course, he is an important trusted aide of the government.
329
00:30:15,270 --> 00:30:20,800
A few days ago, didn't you say that your 8th Garrison Army is short of men? Now that the borders are stable.
330
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,130
There aren't any wars nor bandits causing troubles. Why don't
331
00:30:23,130 --> 00:30:27,490
I transfer 50,000 men from the General Border Security to you. Try to control Tang Bonian first.
332
00:30:27,490 --> 00:30:31,910
This...won't this incite dissatisfaction from other court officials?
333
00:30:31,910 --> 00:30:37,310
I fear that others will complain that I'm greedy for power, seeking personal gains, and hiding selfish intentions.
334
00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:43,340
It was you who asked for men from me. Now, it's also you that's being overcautious and prefers to maintain a good name.
335
00:30:43,340 --> 00:30:48,540
If you don't want them, then forget it. Anyway, they are all soldiers of Deep Water Nation. Placing them anywhere is the same.
336
00:30:50,510 --> 00:30:53,890
I'll obey Your Majesty's orders.
337
00:30:53,890 --> 00:30:57,820
Marquis, the air is cold during the night.
338
00:30:57,820 --> 00:31:00,910
You are already old. Won't you get sick like this?
339
00:31:00,910 --> 00:31:03,760
Cao Cheng, go and get a warm blanket.
340
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,620
- This...
- Yes, Your Majesty.
341
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,820
- Marquis.
- Your Majesty, you mustn't.
342
00:31:22,820 --> 00:31:24,900
Marquis, quickly get up.
343
00:31:27,270 --> 00:31:32,540
Currently, this royal palace isn't that safe. I have so many spies around me.
344
00:31:32,540 --> 00:31:35,400
There are some words that I say for them to hear.
345
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,660
And there are some accusations of misconduct and sowing of suspicions that I might need your help with.
346
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,270
I am slow-witted.
347
00:31:48,890 --> 00:31:52,740
I fear that a huge change will happen to Deep Water Nation soon.
348
00:32:27,190 --> 00:32:30,190
Eldest Imperial Prince.
349
00:32:30,190 --> 00:32:33,300
Prime Minister, you're being too courteous.
350
00:32:33,300 --> 00:32:37,590
I initially was just an idle person without any involvement with the state affairs of Deep Water Nation.
351
00:32:37,590 --> 00:32:41,940
I only wanted to sing songs and meet new friends.
352
00:32:41,940 --> 00:32:47,850
Who would have known that fate would make a fool of me and would threw me into this thorny royal throne?
353
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:50,200
How am I capable for it?
354
00:32:51,330 --> 00:32:56,420
Your Majesty, if you have any orders, I won't refuse it and will willingly offer my life as a sacrifice to fulfill it.
355
00:32:56,420 --> 00:33:00,210
There are powerful subjects in the inner palace eyeing covetously, while there are relatives of the royal harem fighting openly and covertly.
356
00:33:00,210 --> 00:33:04,820
Being placed in the middle of this is really exhausting. What if one day, there is someone in the government that couldn't bear my existence
357
00:33:04,820 --> 00:33:08,860
and they incite an uprising? The ones that will suffer are the thousands of citizens of Deep Water Nation.
358
00:33:08,860 --> 00:33:10,900
Who dares to?!
359
00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:16,140
I've thought about it. Rather than waiting for a rebellion, why don't I take the initiative and give up my throne?
360
00:33:16,140 --> 00:33:18,910
Maybe, I'll be able to maintain peace that way.
361
00:33:18,910 --> 00:33:22,830
Although there are powerful court subjects that are causing disturbances and banding together for selfish reasons,
362
00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:28,590
it's still hasn't reach the point for the court to collapse. Even if there is someone that's planning to rebel,
363
00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:31,520
I have 100,000 men in my 8th Garrison Army
364
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,250
plus 43 people in my manor.
365
00:33:34,250 --> 00:33:36,270
Even if I have to fight until my very last man,
366
00:33:36,270 --> 00:33:40,000
I am swearing to guard the Xuanyuan bloodline until I die.
367
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,280
Marquis, please sit down.
368
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,700
Even if it's for Deep Water Nation sake,
369
00:33:48,700 --> 00:33:51,900
you should take care of your health.
370
00:33:52,900 --> 00:33:55,000
Thank you, Your Majesty.
371
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,600
When I said I would give you 50,000 soldiers, you hesitated.
372
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:01,200
Why?
373
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,600
Are you concerned that Qi Zhen would suspect something?
374
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,400
Or are you afraid of criticism from the court?
375
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:11,500
That Your Majesty trusts me so much,
376
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:14,000
is my blessing.
377
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
But I already have 100,000 soldiers.
378
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,400
Deep Water Nation only has 450,000 men.
379
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,800
If Your Majesty were to send me another 50,000 soldiers,
380
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,400
Raising an army is minor, but governing them isn't.
381
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,800
The pros and cons involved with it is complicatedly intertwined.
382
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,000
Besides,
383
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,400
there are a lot of dukes and meritorious subjects in the court.
384
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,300
I fear that it isn't yet the right time for His Majesty
385
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,000
to divide the military strength.
386
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
What timing?
387
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:55,400
Do you think I am trying to undermine Qi Zhen's military strength
388
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,800
and secure my place on the throne?
389
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,800
I just pity those elite soldiers that Tang Bonian painstakingly trained
390
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,600
will be fighting with their own compatriots.
391
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:14,000
Why then did you say that a big change will be happening soon?
392
00:35:18,500 --> 00:35:22,800
You also know about Qi Zhen's intentions.
393
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,400
He's already past 50. I fear that he won't wait any longer.
394
00:35:28,300 --> 00:35:30,500
My conclusion is
395
00:35:30,500 --> 00:35:34,000
that he'll force an abdication to get the throne.
396
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,800
The state affairs of the Megrez Empire must be complicated and Eldest Imperial Prince must still manage an army outside of the imperial capital.
397
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,200
For you to still travel far to come here, I feel so overwhelmed.
398
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Stop giving me nonsense. I still have to rush back before daybreak.
399
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Be direct to the point. You want the royal throne of Deep Water Nation, am I right?
400
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,100
Right. The royal throne of Deep Water Nation.
401
00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:57,800
I will help you in getting the royal throne of Deep Water Nation.
402
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,600
But in the future, when I compete for the crown prince position of Megrez Empire,
403
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:05,700
you and your Deep Water Nation must completely be on my side.
404
00:36:05,700 --> 00:36:08,800
Eldest Prince, don't worry.
405
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,600
By then, I surely will do my best to assist you.
406
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,900
As long as you loyally follow me,
407
00:36:15,900 --> 00:36:19,200
the whole Deep Water Nation will be yours in the future.
408
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,000
Not only that, I will even think of a way to inform Imperial Father
409
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,500
to make you an official king.
410
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:31,800
Thank you then.
411
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,000
It's just that...
412
00:36:36,500 --> 00:36:39,800
...if Crown Prince Wuji learns about this,
413
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,200
with his personality, will he...
414
00:36:50,900 --> 00:36:52,900
Who were you...
415
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:57,900
...talking about?
416
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,600
I had said too much.
417
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,000
With Megrez Empire behind us,
418
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,700
I don't think anyone will be so bold
419
00:37:08,700 --> 00:37:13,000
to incite an uprising. Even if there's anyone that can successfully conquer Deep Water Nation,
420
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,200
Qi Zhen still won't be able to become the king.
421
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,000
The Megrez Empire...
422
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,200
So what if there is the Megrez Empire?
423
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,600
The emperor and crown prince of the imperial city are still just mortal beings.
424
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,100
They can't live forever.
425
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,400
As long as one is human, you will have selfish interests.
426
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,800
You will have a weakness. How sure are you
427
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,900
that the decision of the imperial city will be appropriate?
428
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,800
Your Majesty,
429
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,800
how could you say such seditious words?
430
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,100
Megrez Empire has ruled over the five regions.
431
00:37:53,100 --> 00:37:56,700
Father Emperor is a true son of god sent to rule the world.
432
00:37:56,700 --> 00:38:00,700
Crown Prince Wuji is even a wise and rare talent.
433
00:38:00,700 --> 00:38:04,000
With the imperial city keeping at bay the different nations here in the five regions,
434
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,600
no matter how great a person is here in Deep Water Nation,
435
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,200
as long as he doesn't have any royal Xuanyuan blood,
436
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,400
doesn't have the skills to manipulate water,
437
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,000
he then can never be king.
438
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,600
What if the Megrez Empire acknowledge the legality of the party seizing power?
439
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
That so-called bloodline,
440
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,900
so-called water manipulation technique will all just be empty words.
441
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,100
By then, no one will be able to restrict Qi Zhen.
442
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:36,300
Impossible.
443
00:38:41,690 --> 00:38:44,170
This is a secret letter I've received this morning.
444
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,200
Someone from Megrez Empire secretly entered Deep Water Nation.
445
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,200
This is for...
446
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,400
...to see Qi Zhen?
447
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,800
Indeed.
448
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,400
This person was wearing luxurious clothing and riding a fat horse.
449
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,000
I even heard that there is a unique symbol on his horse's saddle. Marquis, try guessing
450
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,600
what this symbol look like.
451
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,100
What you're thinking about is right. It is exactly the Winged Tree symbol.
452
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:24,800
They are people from the imperial family of Megrez Empire.
453
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,600
Could it be...
454
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,470
...Qi Zhen is really staking everything
455
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:33,200
to rebel?
456
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,200
Eldest Imperial Prince, let me lay the cards on the table today.
457
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,700
I am rebelling not because of a sudden impulse or is getting reckless out of desperation.
458
00:39:41,700 --> 00:39:45,700
I've planned this for a long time and I've made full proof arrangements.
459
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,800
Tell me about them.
460
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,000
Deep Water Nation has a total of 450,000 soldiers.
461
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,200
Me and my trusted aides have 200,000 men.
462
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,900
We still can get the soldiers under Prefect Xiping.
463
00:39:56,900 --> 00:40:01,400
Other than that, I've also had an agreement with Heavenly Fiend Nation's King Zhan Nancheng.
464
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:06,000
If he sent out his army to help me, I'll give him Mt. Great Vast.
465
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Also, with your help,
466
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,200
how can this matter not succeed?
467
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,900
If that is the case, how come you're not making any move at all?
468
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:19,400
In battle, speed is a soldiers's asset.
469
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:23,600
Delaying will only lead to unexpected consequences. You're not hurrying to prepare your uprising
470
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,200
and why waste time here?
471
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,600
Eldest Prince, there's something you don't know.
472
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,400
I'm waiting for the right time.
473
00:40:36,590 --> 00:40:40,390
We have no more time. We must act first to get the upperhand.
474
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,800
What should I do?
475
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,300
There are no news about Tang Bonian until now.
476
00:40:47,300 --> 00:40:50,100
I want you to lead Deep Water Nation's most elite 200,000 soldiers
477
00:40:50,100 --> 00:40:53,300
to ensure the preservation of the Xuanyuan bloodline.
478
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:11,200
Marquis, please.
479
00:41:12,110 --> 00:41:13,740
Your Majesty...
480
00:41:14,900 --> 00:41:17,600
You're taking so much trouble for this.
481
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,000
I have enjoyed so much graces from the Xuanyuan royal family.
482
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000
I've been in the government for so many years, doing my best all the time and not dare have any negligence.
483
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,800
I am now very old.
484
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:39,000
I've already brought honor to my ancestors and have descendants.
485
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,800
I already profited enough from my life.
486
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:46,200
Now that someone is attempting to rebel and my Deep Water Nation is in trouble,
487
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:49,200
I'm willing to risk this life
488
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,800
and swear to protect
489
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:56,000
the royal court and the Xuanyuan royal bloodline
490
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,900
until I die.
491
00:42:12,580 --> 00:42:14,880
The grand wedding day.
492
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:19,400
- Please explain
- Based on Deep Water Nation's rules,
493
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:23,200
after Xuanyuan Min decide who the queen will be, there will be a grand wedding ceremony.
494
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,400
60% of My garrison and Zhang Henian's
495
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,000
8th Garrison must be given
496
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,700
to form the Deep Water Nation's King own royal army.
497
00:42:31,700 --> 00:42:36,000
That's a total of 150,000 soldiers. We can't neglect it.
498
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,400
You're already a person planning to rebel and you still worry about that puppet Deep Water Nation King
499
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,800
will take your power away?

512
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,600
♫ How can it make a spark to chase after stars alone? ♫
513
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,200
♫ Slim down for him, stay for my heart ♫
514
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,200
♫ And even chase away all luck for dreams ♫
515
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,300
♫ It wants me to be so pretty that I seize his soul ♫
516
00:43:57,300 --> 00:44:03,500
♫ And continue dazzling in his heart ♫
517
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,200
♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫
518
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:14,000
♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫
519
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,800
♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫
520
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,800
♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫
521
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,800
♫ There is a saying that if a person asks for the next lifetime ♫
522
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:28,200
♫ One should only ask to know everything about warfare ♫
523
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,900
♫ Dreams beg heart to grant me love ♫
524
00:44:31,900 --> 00:44:34,800
♫ And have someone's company for the rest of my life ♫
525
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,600
♫ Have someone's company♫
526
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,400
♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫
527
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:45,800
♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫
528
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,600
♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫
529
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:51,700
♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫
