22
00:01:35,530 --> 00:01:39,700
Honestly, a good friend of mine

23
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:42,060
got falsely accused for no reason at all.

24
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:45,380
I must take that man to see the emperor of Megrez Empire

25
00:01:45,380 --> 00:01:49,680
to clear my friend's name. Who would have known...

26
00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:58,120
Forget it. I'll just go to the Megrez Imperial City and have an audience with the emperor first.

27
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:02,960
You're saying that you plan to go to Megrez Imperial City

28
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,880
and even want to enter the palace to have an audience with the emperor?

29
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,220
Is there anything wrong about that?

30
00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:11,840
It's easy to enter the imperial city, but hard to enter the imperial palace.

31
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,490
Don't even talk about having an audience with the Father Emperor.

32
00:02:15,490 --> 00:02:18,780
Megrez Empire commands the Five Regions and have tight security to begin with.

33
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:22,360
<i>Now that Crown Prince has returned from his training, the whole city is rejoicing.</i>

34
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,430
<i>The more it will be hard for an outsider to go in.</i>

35
00:02:27,460 --> 00:02:30,310
Who really is that Crown Prince Wuji?

36
00:02:30,310 --> 00:02:33,930
Recently, I kept hearing you all talk about him.

37
00:02:33,930 --> 00:02:36,880
I only know that at the age of 10, he already produced world renowned literary works

38
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,960
and his arrows can travel thousands of li. At age 12, he charge into South Clan by himself,

39
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,870
fixed the conflict between the northern and southern tribes,

40
00:02:43,870 --> 00:02:46,250
and resolved a great calamity that almost exterminated the Qiongye Tribe.

41
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:51,480
By age 15, the heaven sent down an auspicious sign that preserved the harvest of the whole Five Regions.

42
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,990
There is even such a person?

43
00:02:58,990 --> 00:03:01,780
Even the story tellers won't dare write things like that.

44
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:05,870
Wuji isn't human.

45
00:03:05,870 --> 00:03:07,730
Ha?

46
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:11,140
He's a god.

47
00:03:13,980 --> 00:03:16,670
Sorry...

48
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,410
Can we stop talking about your god?

49
00:03:21,410 --> 00:03:26,710
Can you tell me how to enter the city?

50
00:03:26,710 --> 00:03:30,230
I just happen to be going to Megrez Imperial City in a few days.

51
00:03:30,230 --> 00:03:34,140
- Really?
- One is that the leaves of the feathered tree in Mt. Muling (spiritual pasture)

52
00:03:34,140 --> 00:03:36,060
can neutralize the noxious illness.

53
00:03:36,060 --> 00:03:39,920
Second, I have an important matter to do too.

54
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,980
Seeing how you're of the same age as me,

55
00:03:41,980 --> 00:03:43,860
and that we're fated to meet,

56
00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:46,400
why don't you stay for a few more days?

57
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,650
After I finish the matters at hand,

58
00:03:48,650 --> 00:03:51,330
I'll take you with me when I seek an audience in the palace.

59
00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:53,760
- Really?
- Yes.

60
00:03:58,820 --> 00:04:03,680
Wuji, you're finally back.

61
00:04:15,580 --> 00:04:20,330
Older Sister Fuyao, my Miss has fallen ill.

62
00:04:25,450 --> 00:04:27,350
This way.

63
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,410
Miss! Miss!

64
00:04:32,410 --> 00:04:35,260
- Miss... 
 - Let me pass.

65
00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:36,140
Older Sister.

66
00:04:36,140 --> 00:04:38,000
Fuyao.

67
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,730
I'm here.

68
00:04:40,890 --> 00:04:44,920
You all just go back to your work. Miss Fuyao and I

69
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,520
will just privately say a few words.

70
00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:55,410
One can't really predict one's life.

71
00:04:55,410 --> 00:05:00,370
I really feel embarrassed for asking you to come here today,

72
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,820
but I have a very important matter

73
00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:05,990
that I must ask you to do.

74
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:07,760
Sister, just give the instructions.

75
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,680
To tell you honestly, I am going to the imperial city this time

76
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,480
for official political affair concerning the Five Regions.

77
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,260
But now, I fear that I won't be able to rush there anymore.

78
00:05:20,260 --> 00:05:22,870
- Miss, don't say such things. 
 - Won't be able to rush there...

79
00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:24,780
Miss...

80
00:05:29,590 --> 00:05:33,920
Do you still remember the Crown Prince Wuji

81
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,920
that I told you before?

82
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,370
I remember.

83
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,240
He is my fiancé.

84
00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:52,840
Miss is the second princess of Plough Nation.

85
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:56,430
Since she was little, she already got engaged to Crown Prince Wuji.

86
00:05:56,950 --> 00:06:01,720
My purpose for going to the imperial city time is both for state affairs

87
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,400
and to discuss my marriage matters with him.

88
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,770
Although he and I are thousand of miles apart, we would exchange letters

89
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:12,460
through swan geese these past years.

90
00:06:12,460 --> 00:06:16,330
This yearning has never lessened all these years.

91
00:06:16,940 --> 00:06:21,440
I also have decided to not marry anyone except him in this lifetime.

92
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,980
He also said that he will never marry anyone except me.

93
00:06:24,980 --> 00:06:28,050
Since he's such a faithful man,

94
00:06:28,050 --> 00:06:30,080
you surely will get better

95
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,110
and get reunited with him.

96
00:06:32,110 --> 00:06:38,020
I treated so many people. I know this illness very well.

97
00:06:38,020 --> 00:06:39,070
I fear that...

98
00:06:39,070 --> 00:06:42,130
Miss, you surely will get better!

99
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:48,530
Even if I'm able to survive it,

100
00:06:48,530 --> 00:06:52,300
we mustn't cause any delay on the official matters.

101
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:57,020
Qiaoling, go get my badge.

102
00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:58,550
Miss.

103
00:06:58,550 --> 00:07:00,790
Hurry up.

104
00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:18,030
Miss.

105
00:07:27,810 --> 00:07:30,200
This...

106
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,830
This is the Purple Phoenix Badge that can represent my status.

107
00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:38,950
I beg you to go to Megrez Imperial City using my name.

108
00:07:38,950 --> 00:07:43,670
Go see Crown Prince Wuji and Father Emperor for me.

109
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:46,160
- You...want me to disguise as you?
- Right.

110
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,060
This...we mustn't do this. I can't disguise as you.

111
00:07:51,340 --> 00:07:54,420
- I beg you.
- Lady...

112
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,570
Older Sis Fuyao, I really can't understand it.

113
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:09,320
Why did that Sister Folian want you to disguise as her?

114
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,250
She said that the Megrez Empire is currently facing a huge crisis.

115
00:08:13,250 --> 00:08:15,030
She is also a representative of Plough Nation.

116
00:08:15,030 --> 00:08:18,600
The Megrez Imperial City called for envoys from different nations to discuss this matter.

117
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,660
If she didn't go there on time, the Megrez Imperial City will surely blame Plough Nation for it.

118
00:08:22,660 --> 00:08:25,160
Her marriage with Crown Prince Wuji might also get canceled.

119
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,290
But is it really right to do this?

120
00:08:29,710 --> 00:08:31,420
What's wrong about it?

121
00:08:31,420 --> 00:08:35,300
We are not going there to harm anyone. We just need to explain it clearly once we see the emperor.

122
00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:38,110
Maybe, we can even clear Zhan Beiye's name in passing.

123
00:08:38,110 --> 00:08:39,460
Isn't that good?

124
00:08:39,460 --> 00:08:40,940
Hope so.

125
00:08:40,940 --> 00:08:42,820
- Let's go.
- Let's go!

126
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,360
Let's go.

127
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,750
Let's go.

128
00:08:55,650 --> 00:08:59,150
Older Sis Fuyao, I can't believe that I'm inside the imperial city!

129
00:08:59,150 --> 00:09:03,340
When we left Mt. Mystic Soul, we went to Deep Water Nation. And now, we're in Megrez Empire!

130
00:09:03,340 --> 00:09:05,480
If you don't go out to travel the world, you really won't realize how huge it is!

131
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:06,390
Indeed.

132
00:09:06,390 --> 00:09:09,390
Maybe, this will be lead to another adventure!

133
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,790
Megrez Imperial Palace...

134
00:09:24,260 --> 00:09:26,830
It's really...so imposing.

135
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:29,580
It's really better to see it than just hearing of it.

136
00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:33,280
Look. There are so many people over there. Let's go there.

137
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,260
I beg you...

138
00:09:35,260 --> 00:09:37,650
- I beg you...
- Thanks...

139
00:09:37,650 --> 00:09:39,610
- So pitiful.
- I just want to cure my younger brother's illness.

140
00:09:39,610 --> 00:09:42,120
- This uncle, what's happening here?
- Please spare me.

141
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,480
- I won't do it again...
- It's all because of the noxious illness. This miss and his younger brother rely on each other for survival.

142
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,170
Who would have known that when her younger brother went out to find work a few days ago, he was found to be sick of the noxious illness upon returning.

143
00:09:51,170 --> 00:09:55,240
This miss heard that that leaves of the feathered tree in Mt. Muling can cure this illness, so she secretly went there to pick some.

144
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,380
But the feathered tree is the symbol of the royal family.

145
00:09:57,380 --> 00:10:00,320
It's not something that a commoner can casually pick.

146
00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:06,610
Who did that?

147
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,030
Several men bullying one woman, don't you find that embarrassing?

148
00:10:14,030 --> 00:10:16,570
Who are you?

149
00:10:16,570 --> 00:10:19,560
Don't bother asking who I am. I can't stand men like you.

150
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:23,200
<i>Move aside! Move aside!</i>

151
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,690
Oh, it's a heroine.

152
00:10:31,460 --> 00:10:33,500
Attack.

153
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:29,500
Kill her!

154
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:31,600
Stop!

155
00:11:37,220 --> 00:11:39,300
Greetings, Prince Virtue.

156
00:11:39,300 --> 00:11:41,080
Greetings, Royal Uncle.

157
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,890
First Royal Son, pick up your belt first.

158
00:11:52,890 --> 00:11:58,720
Don't embarrass yourself in front of the saintess of the Five Regions.

159
00:12:05,780 --> 00:12:10,260
You must be careful of a very important item like that.

160
00:12:11,350 --> 00:12:13,520
Royal Uncle, you're saying that she's...

161
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,250
If she's not from the royal family of Plough Nation,

162
00:12:16,250 --> 00:12:19,460
who would have a Purple Phoenix Badge like this?

163
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:23,740
I was disrespectful...

164
00:12:24,850 --> 00:12:28,200
So, you're the First Royal Son. Sorry for offending you earlier.

165
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,560
But can I ask First Royal Son to let this miss go?

166
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:35,190
She went to pick the leaves for her family.

167
00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:39,990
Since Megrez Empire is the imperial city of the Five Regions, the more you should empathize with the citizens.

168
00:12:39,990 --> 00:12:42,040
Saintess must have misunderstood things.

169
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:47,430
First Royal Son was also just worried that the noxious illness might spread to the citizens here, hence, he's making intensive investigations.

170
00:12:47,430 --> 00:12:49,900
As for these leaves of the feathered tree, the palace

171
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:53,820
has already planned to distribute them to the citizens and refugees.

172
00:12:53,820 --> 00:12:56,730
I happen to have brought some today.

173
00:12:58,020 --> 00:13:00,020
First Royal Son...

174
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:10,230
His Highness Crown Prince will be back in the city soon.

175
00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:14,240
Father Emperor also hopes that his citizens will be healthy.

176
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,450
Immediately practice good deeds for His Majesty.

177
00:13:25,380 --> 00:13:28,040
Thank you, First Royal Son!

178
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,090
Good! Good!

179
00:13:31,090 --> 00:13:33,670
- Thank you, saviors.
- You're welcome.

180
00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:34,850
Quickly take these leaves home.

181
00:13:34,850 --> 00:13:35,970
- Thank you, saviors.
- Go back now.

182
00:13:35,970 --> 00:13:40,530
Saintess indeed has a heart of Bodhisattva. You are so benevolent.

183
00:13:40,530 --> 00:13:43,470
I thank you two in behalf of the citizens.

184
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,090
I already knew that the princess of Plough Nation will be coming to Megrez.

185
00:13:47,090 --> 00:13:49,520
I've already made the preparations. Why don't we—

186
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,710
No need to make such troubles.

187
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:54,230
I'll take my leave.

188
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,360
Where are we going?

189
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,190
I don't know.

190
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,740
<i>[Wuba City Gather]</i>

191
00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:19,610
Isn't that the peculiar shop in Deep Water Nation?

192
00:14:19,610 --> 00:14:21,460
- That's right. This is also—
- Indeed.

193
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:25,200
Our Wuba City Gather is distributed all over Five Regions. Our branches can be found everywhere.

194
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,270
We especially provide convenience for the citizens of different areas.

195
00:14:29,270 --> 00:14:32,370
Good timing. We've just arrived in Megrez Imperial City today.

196
00:14:32,370 --> 00:14:35,490
We happen to be looking for an inn to settle down. Do you have any suggestion?

197
00:14:35,490 --> 00:14:37,710
Wait a minute. Let me check.

198
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:41,620
<i>[A miss carrying a purple phoenix badge is a special guest from the royal family of Plough Nation...]</i>

199
00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:45,960
Miss, are you a special guest from Plough Nation?

200
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,770
You also know that?

201
00:14:47,770 --> 00:14:49,550
I already knew that Miss will come.

202
00:14:49,550 --> 00:14:54,800
A few days ago, someone came here and reserved the most unique courtyard in Megrez.

203
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,190
He said that it's for an important guest from Plough Nation.

204
00:14:58,190 --> 00:15:00,460
He even reserved for a carriage.

205
00:15:00,460 --> 00:15:02,490
- Who made the reservations?
- Who else?

206
00:15:02,490 --> 00:15:06,960
You are First Royal Son's important guest. Of course, it was him who made the reservations.

207
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:09,010
No need...

208
00:15:09,010 --> 00:15:10,600
No...this...

209
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,880
This First Royal Son is something. He really knows to set the helm according to the wind.

210
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,710
One who is unaccountably solicitous is hiding evil intentions.

211
00:15:17,710 --> 00:15:19,730
- We mustn't accept such favors.
- Right.

212
00:15:19,730 --> 00:15:22,130
But, what should we do now?

213
00:15:22,130 --> 00:15:24,920
He already bribed the whole street. How are we going to continue?

214
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,930
We will find a way.

215
00:15:32,260 --> 00:15:34,560
Hateful doctor?

216
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,060
What? You lost them?

217
00:15:38,060 --> 00:15:41,460
She didn't stay in the hotels or inns that we've arranged beforehand.

218
00:15:41,460 --> 00:15:44,500
Useless. You all are useless!

219
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:47,520
Your Highness, what should we do now?

220
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,990
What did I tell you before?

221
00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:53,340
I must be informed immediately once the Saintess Folian enters the city.

222
00:15:53,340 --> 00:15:55,940
She's the second princess of Plough Nation.

223
00:15:55,940 --> 00:15:58,960
The silver and gold mountains are all in their Plough Nation.

224
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,310
If I'm able to get the support of Plough Nation,

225
00:16:01,310 --> 00:16:03,830
will I still fear not getting the Crown Prince position?

226
00:16:03,830 --> 00:16:06,240
Look at these great things that you all have done.

227
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,480
She already is inside the city, but you all didn't even know.

228
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,220
Good! I completely offended  her now.

229
00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:19,510
Useless! You all are useless!

230
00:16:20,090 --> 00:16:22,310
Your Highness, I know now.

231
00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:26,690
I'll go ask around her whereabouts now, so it will be convenient for you to approach her.

232
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,690
Quickly go!

233
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,750
That chicken was not bad.

234
00:16:37,750 --> 00:16:39,760
- Hateful doctor.
- Medical Sage Zong.

235
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,440
- Had enough wines and food?
- Yes.
- Let's discuss the bill then.

236
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,850
12 jars of Yihuchun, 40 liang each jar, at total of 480 liang.

237
00:16:46,850 --> 00:16:49,730
Four orders of soy deer ear with flowers and jade cake, a total of 120 liang.

238
00:16:49,730 --> 00:16:50,870
No...

239
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:53,230
Also, 8 little plates of precious fruits with immortal dew—

240
00:16:53,230 --> 00:16:54,920
Medical Sage Zong!

241
00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:59,220
Are you some unscrupulous businessman?

242
00:16:59,220 --> 00:17:01,700
- Didn't we just eat some food?
- That's right.

243
00:17:01,700 --> 00:17:03,840
- Don't we have a friendly relationship?
- Good friends.

244
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,970
That wasn't a normal kind of eating.

245
00:17:05,970 --> 00:17:07,500
You...

246
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:18,930
Tell us how we should settle this then. We don't have any money, but we have our lives.

247
00:17:19,830 --> 00:17:22,340
Let's do this then. Sign a contract of selling yourself to me.

248
00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:24,730
Ha? What are you trying to do?

249
00:17:24,730 --> 00:17:26,450
What are you planning?

250
00:17:26,450 --> 00:17:30,960
I'm just lacking some subordinates here in Megrez and will reluctantly take you two in.

251
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,070
You're telling me to become an underling?

252
00:17:33,070 --> 00:17:36,420
If Medical Sage Zong is willing to take us in, we'll have a place to stay in.

253
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,190
- Let me think about it.
- Right.

254
00:17:46,060 --> 00:17:48,810
Hey! I'm done thinking!

255
00:17:50,230 --> 00:17:53,080
Isn't it just being an underling, doing labor?

256
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,220
It's fine.

257
00:17:55,220 --> 00:17:57,920
We at least get to have free lodging and food, right?

258
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,260
There is meat for 3 meals, right?

259
00:17:59,260 --> 00:18:01,670
- A room with huge bed.
- One day of work and 5 days of rest.

260
00:18:01,670 --> 00:18:03,300
- That's good.
- Passable, right?

261
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:05,660
- Good.
- No problem.

262
00:18:05,660 --> 00:18:07,920
Go and get these medicines.

263
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,560
The last two medicines can only be found in Shangyang (Upper Sun) Palace at the city's southern side.

264
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,460
Remember, not one less.

265
00:18:17,910 --> 00:18:19,760
Okay.

266
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,510

Looks like we can't enter this Shangyang Palace through the main gates.

269
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,290
How are we going to enter it then?

270
00:18:40,350 --> 00:18:45,620
Just follow this prescription and gather the other medicines. Leave this place to me.

271
00:18:45,620 --> 00:18:49,090
No... I can't leave you to do this alone. No way.

272
00:18:50,290 --> 00:18:53,610
- No, it's too dangerous for you to go alone.
- I can do it. Just go.

273
00:18:53,610 --> 00:18:58,360
Fine. Be careful. Don't get caught. Be careful.

Your Highness, Saintess Folian has already entered the imperial city.

It's just that presently, no one knows where she settled in.

You are a liar.

Anything you say is a lie anyways.

288
00:22:18,660 --> 00:22:22,470
I still don't know who you truly are.

289
00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:26,110
I don't want to talk anymore. Just give me back my item.

- You...
- Where's my mystic spirit leaf?

291

Wait.

292

I haven't seen you in so long, don't you have anything you want to say to me?

What do I have to say to you, all you do is lie anyways.

294

I'm sure you don't have any good intentions in being here too.

295
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,590
I didn't tell you this, but I am the Crown Prince of Megrez.

296
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,740
You are the Crown Prince?

297
00:23:18,740 --> 00:23:23,140
His aide. I'm Yuan Zhaoxu.

298
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,010
You are the Crown Prince's aide?

299
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,400
You must be lying.

300
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,190
If it's true, then take me to see the Crown Prince.

301
00:23:39,190 --> 00:23:41,720
Why?

302
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,570
In coming here to Megrez Imperial City, there were a lot of people on the way that's saying

00:23:46,570 --> 00:23:50,520
the Crown Prince Wuji of Megrez Empire is wise beyond his years, highly intelligent,

304
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,200
and that there is no one like him, but I doubt a person like that really exist in this world.

305
00:23:54,200 --> 00:24:01,530
There is. What I did in Deep Water Nation before was an order from the Crown Prince.

306
00:24:01,530 --> 00:24:05,960
It shows that Crown Prince isn't some good person too.

307
00:24:09,500 --> 00:24:11,650
Let me tell you, do not talk badly about the Crown Prince

308
00:24:11,650 --> 00:24:15,410
in Megrez or you will have bad luck.

309
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:20,100
Okay already. Stop being angry with me.

310
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,310
As apology, I'll take you to a fun place.

311
00:24:24,310 --> 00:24:25,990
Why don't you take me to the Royal Palace?

312
00:24:25,990 --> 00:24:28,510
Why do you want to go there?

313
00:24:28,510 --> 00:24:30,720
I can't tell you that.

314
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,150
<i>Then be good and listen to me first.</i>

315
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:48,500
What bad scheme are you brewing?

316
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,750
How do you feel when you saw me again?

317
00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:57,570
If not because I can't beat you, I would have attacked you already.

318
00:24:57,570 --> 00:25:02,980
Fine, I won't fight back this time.

319
00:25:02,980 --> 00:25:09,130
Liar, nothing you say is ever true, I will never believe you again.

320
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,850
Why did you bring me here?

321
00:25:26,850 --> 00:25:32,360
It must be because you're a frequent guest in this brothel.

322
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,280
Are you jealous?

323
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,460
You wish.

324
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,260
I've drank a lot.

325
00:25:47,260 --> 00:25:49,250
Aren't I drinking too?

326
00:25:59,700 --> 00:26:02,250
Why did you steal my five-colored stone?

327
00:26:02,250 --> 00:26:04,820
Isn't it to let you find me?

328
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,200
You're a great liar!

329
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,570
I won't talk to you anymore. Great liar...

330
00:26:17,570 --> 00:26:20,400
- Liar...
- Hey...

331
00:26:23,900 --> 00:26:28,060
Let me tell you, you are not allowed to...

332
00:26:28,060 --> 00:26:33,230
...leave again next time without saying anything. You hear me?

333
00:26:42,900 --> 00:26:44,990
I promise you.

334
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:18,000
<i>Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com</i>

335
00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:37,470
- You liar!
- I...

336
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,330
Enough.

337
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:54,730
Prince.

338
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,600
Royal Uncle.

339
00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:52,880
Enough. Leave.

340
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,750
Yes.

341
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,480
Royal Uncle, Crown Prince left for so many years.

342
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,130
Royal Father's health is also weak. For most of the court affairs,

343
00:30:08,130 --> 00:30:11,610
it's you and me who has handled them.

344
00:30:11,610 --> 00:30:14,410
Now, we're being asked to just hand them to that guy?

345
00:30:14,410 --> 00:30:18,280
Royal Uncle, are you able to put them down?

346
00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:24,080
First Royal Son has achieved numerous military merits and you have such illustrious prestige in the imperial court.

347
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,440
Not being happy with suddenly handing over your power

348
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,800
is expected.

349
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,330
Aren't I asking about your feelings?

350
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:45,530
I didn't catch what you said.

351
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:51,400
Okay. I won't beat around the bush then.

352
00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:57,840
Because a person suddenly appeared, I'm now being asked to hand over the affairs that I've been managing for so many years.

353
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,130
Royal Uncle, I really couldn't accept it.

354
00:31:01,130 --> 00:31:04,210
If there comes a day that this matter won't be ending well,

355
00:31:04,210 --> 00:31:06,860
I hope that Royal Uncle will stand on my side.

356
00:31:06,860 --> 00:31:10,370
I surely will not treat you unfairly.

357
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:19,140
You shouldn't tell me about your complaints. I don't meddle with state affairs anymore.

358
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,700
Even if you tell me, I will just treat it as if I never heard anything.

359
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:43,020
Royal Uncle, could it be that you've already forgotten that matter in the hunting grounds?

360
00:31:54,200 --> 00:32:00,050
Royal Uncle, forgive me for being tactless. But you know

361
00:32:00,050 --> 00:32:03,090
that Wuji has always disliked you.

362
00:32:03,090 --> 00:32:08,520
If he became the emperor, you think he'll be able to accommodate you?

363
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,960
Look. I didn't know that you're coming.

364
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,510
This...I didn't prepare any good tea.

365
00:32:24,510 --> 00:32:30,450
It's really such poor service. How about I return to my manor and get some good tea?

366
00:32:30,450 --> 00:32:35,160
I can't let Prince Assist suffer, right?

367
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:41,160
Jeez, Royal Uncle, no need for that. I'm done talking.

368
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,570
I'll take my leave.

369
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,790
The person who is unable to tolerate my existence isn't Wuji.

370
00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:10,300
It's him.

371
00:33:17,540 --> 00:33:19,980
Since His Highness Crown Prince didn't return to court as scheduled,

372
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:25,300
I fear that we must still let Prince Assist approve the matters for today.

373
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:42,500
- This...I think that is inappropriate.
- Everyone knows

374
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:45,700
that when His Highness Prince Assist led his army towards the South Clan,

375
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:48,200
he already promised the whole army

376
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,200
that he would reward them based on their merits when they victoriously return.

377
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,000
Now, the army has returned to the city for several days.

378
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,400
The military inspection officer has also submitted a request to rush it twice.

379
00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:00,900
We kept delaying it until the Crown Prince returns, so he can personally make the appropriations.

380
00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:04,200
We mustn't delay this matter anymore.

381
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,300
Be that as it may,

382
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,000
but the commanding officer for this expedition was His Highness Zhangsun Pingrong too.

383
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:17,200
If we allow His Highness to personally sign the rewards,

384
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,800
won't that easily invite suspicion?

385
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:25,400
Defeating the enemy is a meritorious contribution and should be rewarded. This is just proper and right.

386
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,600
How could that invite suspicions?

387
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,600
But if this matter continued to be delayed,

388
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,400
the more we won't be able to control other people's suspicious mouth.

389
00:34:46,340 --> 00:34:49,380
My army bathed in blood in the battlefield.

390
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,600
They used their lives to exchange for a temporary halt from the South Clan.

391
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,500
They deserve to have these rewards.

392
00:35:01,750 --> 00:35:07,500
If Crown Prince is against it, let him talk to Father Emperor.

393
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,000
- You heard all of it?
- Yes.

394
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,000
The whole city is looking for you,

395
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,820
while you are instead with a beautiful woman.

396
00:35:31,820 --> 00:35:35,400
You didn't delay being romantic at all.

397
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:36,800
Royal Father, so you have heard about it.

398
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,400
I instead want to listen more to your explanation.

399
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,300
Royal Father, you are wise.

400
00:35:44,300 --> 00:35:49,000
You clearly knew that today is the day that the inner court will approve the funding for Pingrong's army,

401
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:52,000
a good day to win people's heart.

402
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,600
You instead deliberately moved away and let PIngrong be this good man.

403
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,600
Why?

404
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:32,600
♪ The happy childhood times ♪

405
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:38,000
♪ Talking merrily as much as we liked ♪

406
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:43,500
♪ Making honest oaths ♪

407
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:48,600
♪ Not thinking about the consequences ♪

408
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,100
Is the song Prince Virtue singing "Yushui Tune"?

409
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,800
I didn't know that Empress is here. I was disrespectful.

410
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,800
What "Yushui Tune" sings about

411
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:09,000
the story of a man approaching while riding his bamboo horse and a woman reminiscing about the green plums while in her declining years. (childhood sweethearts missing each other)

412
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,400
Singing an old tune like that by yourself,

413
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,600
made it gloomier.

414
00:37:19,020 --> 00:37:23,270
Wuji is back.

415
00:37:27,300 --> 00:37:29,800
I know.

416
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,800
Pingrong is a petty person.

417
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,800
I fear that he can't accept others to steal the limelight from him.

418
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:41,000
But Wuji is after all my real son.

419
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,000
If Prince Virtue cares, then try to teach him more.

420
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,900
Crown Prince is an especially gifted leader.

421
00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:55,800
He inheriting the throne is what everyone wishes.

422
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:01,400
I'm not that great, but I'm willing to render him my services.

423
00:38:13,130 --> 00:38:18,720
I thank you in behalf of Wuji.

424
00:38:20,030 --> 00:38:23,920
I still have things to do in my manor.

425
00:38:24,900 --> 00:38:26,800
I'll take my leave now.

426
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,200
Prince Virtue isn't in your declining years yet.

427
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:36,400
It's better to sing less of that "Yushui Tune".

428
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,900
Older brother made a meritorious deed by leading his army.

429
00:38:46,900 --> 00:38:51,100
It's most suitable for him to be the one to reward the army.

430
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,800
Is it because you don't want to steal this job from him

431
00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:00,200
or you're unwilling to get involved in this muddled water?

432
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:06,000
Or that you felt this army as being trusted aides that Pingrong trained himself,

433
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,200
so you're unwilling to use them in the future?

434
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,600
All are correct.

435
00:39:13,210 --> 00:39:16,530
It's good that you have your own stand.

436
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:25,200
Tell me about Deep Water Nation.

437
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,000
Royal Father asked me to decrease the strength of Deep Water Nation

438
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,400
with the least price to pay and via the most covert method. I'm sure that Royal Father already knew

439
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,600
that I used some trick to become the king of Deep Water Nation.

440
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,600
Now that a big war in Deep Water Nation has just ended, their threatening strength has diminished, they surely must rest for some time.

441
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,600
Good. Very good.

442
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,600
You trained in the Firmament for 10 years.

443
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:49,400
Now, without spending one soldier, you were able to weaken a vassal nation.

444
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:54,000
It's time to share the burden of governing the world with me.

445
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,300
Yes.

446
00:39:58,100 --> 00:40:01,300
Your Majesty, Her Highness Empress especially set up a family dinner.

447
00:40:01,300 --> 00:40:04,400
She's inviting Your Majesty and Crown Prince to go there.

448
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,200
Royal Father, you think...

449
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,500
Crown Prince will soon be there.

450
00:40:18,700 --> 00:40:21,900
I'm already old and my strength is diminishing.

451
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:26,700
I let the important ministers handle the important state affairs.

452
00:40:26,700 --> 00:40:32,000
Pingrong and Prince Virtue also shared a few of the burdens.

453
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,600
Although you're the crown prince,

454
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,800
you don't have much foundation within the imperial court.

455
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:44,400
Do you know that...regardless of which nation or empire...

456
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:49,300
...the fight for royal power has always been a life-or-death struggle?

457
00:40:51,340 --> 00:40:53,220
Child...

458
00:40:54,750 --> 00:41:00,180
You are still young. Always be vigilant.

459
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,600
