<i>~ Episode 56 ~</i>

23
00:01:35,820 --> 00:01:39,510
<i>- Hurry! Hurry!
- It was also quite a coincidence too. Feng Xuan and Feng Qi aftewards</i>

24
00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:45,910
<i>almost got pregnant at the same time and went in labor on the same day. Successively, they gave birth to 2 babies.</i>

25
00:01:46,790 --> 00:01:53,370
<i>Legend says that when Feng Xuan delivered her baby, that girl had a lotus flower on her mouth, such an auspicious sign.</i>

26
00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:57,500
<i>And at this time, a miraculous manifestation happened in Young Phoenix Lake.</i>

27
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:03,320
<i>Hence, everyone firmly believed that this child bearing a lotus flower when she was born is the one with the phoenix spirituality.</i>

28
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,260
<i>And using it as proof, Feng Xuan was conferred as the First Queen Heir.</i>

29
00:02:08,260 --> 00:02:11,900
Not long after, Feng Qi got sick and died.

30
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:15,860
And then afterwards, Feng Xuan successfully ascended to the throne.

31
00:02:15,860 --> 00:02:19,510
Who then is this person who was born with a lotus flower?

32
00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:22,890
It was Folian.

33
00:02:24,190 --> 00:02:30,920
But Folian not only wasn't named the immediate heir, she is now being restricted. Why?

34
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:36,000
That is because Feng Xuan changed the inheritance rules after ascending the throne.

35
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,430
She changed it such that the eldest daughter gets to inherit the throne.

36
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:43,580
That's illogical and irrational.

37
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:50,290
Indeed. If Folian is indeed the fated heir, why then did Feng Xuan change the rules?

38
00:02:51,860 --> 00:02:58,090
Unless, Folian isn't Feng Xuan's real daughter. Or...

39
00:02:58,090 --> 00:03:02,390
Or that both of them don't have the phoenix spirituality.

40
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,770
Feng Qi also gave birth to a child then.

41
00:03:08,770 --> 00:03:14,030
Too bad. This child wasn't fortunate and didn't survive.

42
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,630
Is she called Feng Wuming?

43
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,940
Could it be that this Feng Wuming is the one with the phoenix spirituality?

44
00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:31,610
I also suspected that. But all the people who knew about this matter have all died.

45
00:03:31,610 --> 00:03:37,090
Basing on what you two have said, there must be another story on Feng Xuan's ascension to the throne.

46
00:03:39,090 --> 00:03:42,790
Too bad, Feng Wuming is also dead.

47
00:03:42,790 --> 00:03:46,780
No. She probably isn't dead.

48
00:03:47,620 --> 00:03:51,840
In the Plough Nation royal clan genealogical record, I saw that the phoenix representing a live person

49
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,820
would flap their wings and fly high, while the phoenix representing a dead person will meet fire and get turned into ashes.

50
00:03:55,820 --> 00:04:01,720
But only this Feng Wuming didn't look like she's truly alive or truly dead.

51
00:04:04,170 --> 00:04:06,860
Didn't you say last time...

52
00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:10,500
...that Feng Wuming's father, Meng Shuo, is still alive?

53
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:14,060
Yes. Based on the genealogical record, he indeed is still alive.

54
00:04:14,060 --> 00:04:15,700
Could it be...

55
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:20,040
Ever since, Feng Xuan and Feng Qi have a close sibling relationship.

56
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,830
The person who initially caused a break between them

57
00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:27,490
was a man named Meng Shuo.

58
00:04:27,490 --> 00:04:30,770
Do you two know who this Meng Shuo is?

59
00:04:31,630 --> 00:04:35,770
Alioth of the ten saints is him.

60
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,970
It's actually him?

61
00:04:41,970 --> 00:04:45,200
The ten saints of Five Regions are the best fighters in this world,

62
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,410
but only this Alioth is a genius in both literary and martial arts.

63
00:04:48,410 --> 00:04:52,700
He is also the most handsome, tallest, and well-built man among them.

64
00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:57,770
Indeed. That time, Alioth was very popular.

65
00:04:57,770 --> 00:05:01,930
Who among the Plough Nation royal princesses don't have a crush on him?

66
00:05:01,930 --> 00:05:05,540
That includes Feng Xuan and Feng Qi?

67
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,430
<i>He is a descendant of a nobility of Plough Nation. He frequently visited the palace since he was little.</i>

68
00:05:14,430 --> 00:05:17,910
<i>Feng Qi and him has long developed mutual affection.</i>

69
00:05:17,910 --> 00:05:21,530
<i>The two are childhood sweethearts, very much in love.</i>

70
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:25,980
<i>Afterwards, Alioth was ordered to represent Plough Nation and joined the ten saints contest.</i>

71
00:05:25,980 --> 00:05:30,900
He became one of the ten saints of Five Regions. From then on, he bore the name Alioth of Plough Nation.

72
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:34,520
His mighty name was known throughout Five Regions.

73
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,520
But actually, Feng Xuan has loved him ever since.

74
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,790
Where is this Alioth now?

75
00:05:43,330 --> 00:05:48,120
Since Feng Qi died, he left. No one knows where he went.

76
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,520
What's most important now is Feng Xuan is gravely sick. She might not last long.

77
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,450
At present, Feng Jingzhi is the one managing the state affairs.

78
00:05:56,450 --> 00:06:01,340
And that Folian, Feng Jingfan, I'm sure she won't just sit and wait for death.

79
00:06:02,660 --> 00:06:06,740
The Plough Nation is in the edge of eternal doom.

80
00:06:06,740 --> 00:06:11,000
Then it means that the Young Phoenix Lake is in trouble?

81
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,330
Deep within Young Phoenix Lake is an auspicious phoenix.

82
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:18,980
Legend says that this phoenix is guarding a huge evil power inside the lake.

83
00:06:18,980 --> 00:06:22,870
If Plough Nation falls into chaos, if Feng Xuan is unable to guard Young Phoenix Lake,

84
00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:27,350
causing that auspicious phoenix to flee, Five Regions then will fall into eternal doom.

85
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,030
Since my wife died in an unjust manner, I have been living like a zombie.

86
00:06:35,030 --> 00:06:38,670
What status, position, or wealth, all are meaningless to me.

87
00:06:38,670 --> 00:06:43,970
Now that Plough Nation is in  trouble, I couldn't just watch as it gets destroyed.

88
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:47,890
For things that I am powerless to do, Crown Prince Wuji you must help us.

89
00:06:47,890 --> 00:06:52,630
For our Five Regions, for our descendants, please save Plough Nation.

90
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,860
Please.

91
00:07:28,850 --> 00:07:32,170
Young Lord Tang is a loyal descendant and an outstanding talent.

92
00:07:32,170 --> 00:07:36,810
May Crown Prince Wuji be at ease in ordering him and training him.

93
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,360
Thank you, Prefect Wu. Also, don't walk us out anymore.

94
00:07:55,220 --> 00:08:00,550
If my guess is right, your surname isn't Tang but Feng, isn't it?

95
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,870
Your Highness Crown Prince, you indeed are all knowledgeable.

96
00:08:09,620 --> 00:08:15,270
After Feng Xuan ascended to the throne, my father's siblings successively suffered misfortunes

97
00:08:15,270 --> 00:08:21,670
and died tragically. My father got discouraged and lived in seclusion.

98
00:08:21,670 --> 00:08:27,990
Duke National Peace is my mother's clan. Afterwards, I also changed my identity and joined the Phoenix Lead Pavilion.

99
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:33,450
It's my duty to follow the royal clan at their beck and call, but I don't want to become an assassin that massacred the Five Region.

100
00:08:33,450 --> 00:08:37,740
Only by stopping Her Majesty early on can we prevent the carnage here in Plough Nation.

101
00:08:37,740 --> 00:08:41,530
This is the reason why I wanted Your Highness Crown Prince to intervene in this matter.

102
00:08:41,530 --> 00:08:47,710
Then it means that the person who wrote Wuji a letter and hoped that he'll come here is you?

103
00:08:47,710 --> 00:08:52,190
I never sent any letter. What's this about?

104
00:08:54,730 --> 00:08:57,970
This is not important anymore. What's important is

105
00:08:57,970 --> 00:09:00,780
to investigate how many more secrets is Feng Xuan hiding.

106
00:09:00,780 --> 00:09:04,400
There is one more person in the palace who knows a lot about Her Majesty's secrets.

107
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,570
It's just that this person appears unpredictably and hard to approach.

108
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,890
<i>There are two groups who are directly under Feng Xuan's command in Plough Nation Palace.</i>

109
00:09:19,890 --> 00:09:25,660
<i>One is the Phoenix Lead Pavilion that I command. The other one is this shadow that has never shown his face.</i>

110
00:09:25,660 --> 00:09:30,290
<i>These past years, he has helped Her Majesty do a lot of dirty deeds.</i>

111
00:09:30,290 --> 00:09:35,360
This person's martial arts skills is so good. Normal people aren't his competition at all.

112
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,160
Could this person you're describing Alioth?

113
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,280
Only by finding him can we know the truth.

114
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,190
There's one more thing that I need your help with.

115
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,330
Crown Prince, please give the instructions.

116
00:09:48,330 --> 00:09:50,910
We have to go to Young Phoenix Lake.

117
00:10:06,660 --> 00:10:15,310
Don't blame me for being ruthless. Just for everything today, I exerted so much effort.

118
00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:23,030
Despite being cautious, you still were able to see it.

119
00:10:30,670 --> 00:10:37,040
No one must foil my plan, even my own daughter.

120
00:10:53,830 --> 00:11:00,390
They finally have all slowly walked into this trap.

121
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,490
Grand Teacher, your wish will soon happen.

122
00:11:06,490 --> 00:11:11,260
I earnestly ask Grand Teacher to bless and protect me.

123
00:11:11,260 --> 00:11:17,130
Let them go and be unable to return.

124
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,940
Grand Teacher.

125
00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:32,250
You did well, but don't harm her life.

126
00:11:37,210 --> 00:11:41,700
Grand Teacher, it's enough that my wish be granted.

127
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,870
<i>This is the deepest level under Young Phoenix Lake.</i>

128
00:11:59,380 --> 00:12:00,990
Be careful.

129
00:12:03,770 --> 00:12:07,750
This place is so strange.

130
00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:12,070
There are no sounds at all. You can't even hear the phoenix call.

131
00:12:14,420 --> 00:12:18,390
It is indeed unpredictably too silent.

132
00:12:18,390 --> 00:12:20,280
What is that area?

133
00:12:22,730 --> 00:12:26,770
That place is the real Young Phoenix Lake.

134
00:12:35,090 --> 00:12:40,750
You...look. There.

135
00:12:40,750 --> 00:12:43,060
There is a fire phoenix.

136
00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:48,280
Where? How come I can't see it?

137
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,290
It's over there...

138
00:12:53,340 --> 00:12:56,340
Come look from where I'm standing. Look.

139
00:13:00,910 --> 00:13:03,960
I also can't see it.

140
00:13:06,420 --> 00:13:11,390
What did you say? You also can see it?

Oh, my, you're back! You scared me to death! I thought something bad happened to you two in Young Phoenix Lake.

149
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,580
Elder Meng Shuo! Please wait!

150
00:15:08,030 --> 00:15:09,830
<i>Hurry.</i>

151
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,950
<i>Auntie Wan! Auntie Wan!</i>

152
00:15:20,390 --> 00:15:26,110
<i>Let go! Let go of me!</i>

153
00:15:30,230 --> 00:15:33,730
<i>- Let go of me!
- Let go of me!</i>

154
00:15:33,730 --> 00:15:36,120
<i>Don't hurt her!</i>

155
00:15:40,410 --> 00:15:43,420
<i>Let go of her! Auntie Wan!</i>

156
00:15:44,650 --> 00:15:47,350
<i>No! Let go of me!</i>

157
00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:51,480
<i>Auntie Wan...</i>

158
00:15:53,030 --> 00:15:56,010
<i>Don't!</i>

159
00:15:56,010 --> 00:16:01,340
<i>Who told you to be disobedient?</i>

160
00:16:01,340 --> 00:16:04,670
<i>Don't hurt her!</i>

161
00:16:04,670 --> 00:16:08,550
<i>Auntie Wan!</i>

162
00:16:12,030 --> 00:16:14,260
<i>Auntie Wan!</i>

163
00:16:19,420 --> 00:16:21,100
This...

164
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:31,990
Fuyao!

165
00:18:14,450 --> 00:18:16,590
- You killed my sister?
- I...

166
00:18:16,590 --> 00:18:20,450
How dare you! You killed my sister...

167
00:18:21,900 --> 00:18:25,360
So you pretended to be the Medical Sage and was harboring evil intentions.

168
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:28,840
You murdered the queen heir and was caught red-handed.

169
00:18:30,620 --> 00:18:33,480
Little sister,

170
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,860
you traveled far to come here to our Plough Nation just to complete this great act.

171
00:18:37,860 --> 00:18:40,640
It's really so exciting.

172
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,800
It was you...

173
00:18:48,630 --> 00:18:51,840
- You framed me.
- Framed?

174
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,220
You're the one who killed her and you're even holding the knife.

175
00:18:55,220 --> 00:18:59,180
Wasn't you the one who is a killer? You pretended to be the Medical Sage,

176
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:01,970
deliberately got near my Royal Mother, poisoned her,

177
00:19:01,970 --> 00:19:07,430
you entrenched yourself in every step and meticulously plotted. And today, you killed my older sister.

178
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:12,630
And she was even so sincere towards you. It was really...

179
00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:16,960
...so pitiful and lamentable.

180
00:19:20,070 --> 00:19:23,080
Don't waste your energy. Since that day

181
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:28,070
that you accepted my ruyi, you have fallen into this trap.

182
00:19:28,070 --> 00:19:30,700
<i>It's hard for you to escape from it anymore.</i>

183
00:19:36,050 --> 00:19:37,760
You poisoned me?!

184
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,880
Poison?

185
00:19:41,870 --> 00:19:46,440
If I poison you, how can that fool Crown Prince Wuji?

186
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,290
I just asked my Grand Teacher to slightly

187
00:19:50,290 --> 00:19:53,220
help me with some trick.

188
00:19:53,220 --> 00:19:57,760
Mere mortal like you can never notice it.

189
00:19:58,730 --> 00:20:05,430
I...am going to take back everything that you took from me.

190
00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:09,920
Whether it's your identity or status. Correct.

191
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,920
Also, Wuji.

192
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,160
Because all these were mine to begin with.

193
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:19,530
All were supposed to be mine!

194
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:30,860
Folian... Feng Jingfan...

195
00:20:30,860 --> 00:20:33,160
Feng Jingfan?

196
00:20:40,950 --> 00:20:46,270
<i>I beg you already!</i>

197
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,290
I already saw very clearly what kind of person you are.

198
00:20:54,290 --> 00:20:58,160
I already saw that seductive traits you brought with you when you were born.

199
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,250
You should have died long ago. I should have killed you then!

200
00:21:01,250 --> 00:21:03,730
Why did I allow a source of disaster like you to stay? Why did I allow you to live

201
00:21:03,730 --> 00:21:08,860
and let you become the greatest obstacle between Wuji and I?

202
00:21:08,860 --> 00:21:13,370
You...took away the person that I love the most.

203
00:21:13,370 --> 00:21:15,920
You stole everything that I treasured

204
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,920
for these past ten years.

205
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,490
You took away everything that I valued the most for these past 10 years.

206
00:21:23,490 --> 00:21:27,270
You should have died in that darkness filled cold palace.

207
00:21:43,970 --> 00:21:47,520
Why must you harm us?

208
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,960
Why must you harm us?!

209
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,150
You deserved it. These are all your retribution.

210
00:21:54,150 --> 00:21:59,550
Retribution. Let me tell you. That person's name was Xu Wan.

211
00:21:59,550 --> 00:22:03,400
Her mistake was...why must she saved you then?

212
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,580
Her mistake was that she shouldn't have let a source of disaster like you live.

213
00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:09,560
Hence, she deserved to die.

214
00:22:26,650 --> 00:22:30,200
<i>Don't hurt her!</i>

215
00:22:33,610 --> 00:22:38,260
Who am I? Who am I?

216
00:22:38,260 --> 00:22:42,530
Who am I? Who am I?

217
00:22:42,530 --> 00:22:46,500
- Who am I?
- Who are you?

218
00:22:48,380 --> 00:22:54,040
You are...the killer who killed the queen heir of Plough Nation.

219
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,670
You won't make it in time.

220
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:27,950
Your words don't count.

221
00:23:27,950 --> 00:23:30,560
That was the bell signifying that a person has been murdered here in Plough Nation.

222
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,750
Everything has been finalized. It can't be unchanged. You won't be able to reach her in time.

223
00:23:34,750 --> 00:23:36,230
Your words don't count.

224
00:23:36,230 --> 00:23:40,830
I can help you save her. Make a deal with me.

225
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,440
Who am I?

226
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:06,380
Why must you frame me?

227
00:24:06,380 --> 00:24:09,020
You must have worn masks for so long

228
00:24:09,020 --> 00:24:11,540
that you've forgotten who you are.

229
00:24:13,100 --> 00:24:15,260
Let me tell you now.

230
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:20,850
This person isn't some Medical Sage Zong Yue.

231
00:24:20,850 --> 00:24:25,500
Because I've seen the real Mr. Zong when I was in Megrez Imperial City.

232
00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:29,420
I also saw...this...

233
00:24:29,420 --> 00:24:32,960
...criminal!

234
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,530
That time, Father Emperor has ordered for her to be killed.

235
00:24:36,530 --> 00:24:41,060
Never thought that she'll escape to our Plough Nation.

236
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:44,700
Is that true?

237
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,440
It was her who killed my older sister.

238
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,290
I personally saw it. She was even holding a knife that time. It was her who killed her.

239
00:24:55,290 --> 00:24:57,620
She said that Crown Prince Wuji

240
00:24:57,620 --> 00:25:01,240
mustn't have any marriage alliance with our queen heir.

241
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,140
She even said that Crown Prince Wuji...

242
00:25:04,140 --> 00:25:07,480
...can only be hers.

243
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,680
Why did you do it?!

244
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,690
I didn't kill anyone nor harm anyone.

245
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:28,800
Who really is the real killer?

246
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,700
Who really is the one who committed a crime?

247
00:25:31,700 --> 00:25:36,670
Your Majesty, don't you clearly know?

248
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,200
<i>Don't worry. I will give you a grand funeral.</i>

249
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:50,190
<i>I'll announce to the world that you died from excessive exhaustion</i>

250
00:25:50,190 --> 00:25:52,590
<i>for working for the nation.</i>

251
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:59,790
<i>But the gossiping mouth of all those government officials,</i>

252
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:03,260
<i>how can I block it?</i>

253
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,600
<i>- Royal Mother.
- Who's there?!</i>

254
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,800
<i>It's me.</i>

255
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,270
<i>Why did you come? Leaving your palace without permission, do you know what punishment you'll receive?!</i>

256
00:26:16,270 --> 00:26:18,830
<i>I brought Buddhist scriptures that I've newly copied.</i>

257
00:26:18,830 --> 00:26:22,490
<i>I initially plan to help Royal Mother calm your heart and nurse your energy.</i>

258
00:26:24,300 --> 00:26:26,450
<i>But from the looks of it,</i>

259
00:26:28,100 --> 00:26:31,290
<i>Royal Mother seems to have encountered new trouble.</i>

260
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:35,240
<i>I fear that this book isn't enough.</i>

261
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,890
<i>- How dare you!
- Royal Mother...</i>

262
00:26:37,890 --> 00:26:40,970
<i>- What do you mean?
- I'm willing to unburden you.</i>

263
00:26:40,970 --> 00:26:44,030
<i>No matter what I saw, you clearly know</i>

264
00:26:44,030 --> 00:26:49,130
<i>that I'm on your side. It's true.</i>

265
00:26:52,100 --> 00:26:56,890
<i>Right now, I have a perfect plan.</i>

266
00:26:56,890 --> 00:26:59,090
<i>Rise and say it.</i>

267
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,250
<i>I deeply care about you</i>

268
00:27:03,250 --> 00:27:07,320
<i>and wanted to ask Medical Sage Zong Rue to concentrate in nursing your health.</i>

269
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,400
<i>But when I saw that Medical Sage, I kept feeling that there's something wrong with him.</i>

270
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:18,180
<i>He...is that Fuyao that framed me back in Megrez!</i>

271
00:27:18,180 --> 00:27:20,060
<i>She is not some Medical Sage.</i>

272
00:27:20,060 --> 00:27:24,190
<i>That person is harboring evil intentions and is entrenching herself at every step.</i>

273
00:27:24,190 --> 00:27:29,450
<i>Royal Mother, do you know why she's here in Plough Nation?</i>

274
00:27:29,450 --> 00:27:31,150
<i>Why?</i>

275
00:27:32,350 --> 00:27:36,600
<i>Because...</i>

276
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,380
<i>Just say it.</i>

277
00:27:43,700 --> 00:27:45,930
<i>Because she...</i>

278
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:55,570
<i>...is Feng Wuming.</i>

279
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,130
<i>Why didn't you say so sooner?!</i>

280
00:28:01,130 --> 00:28:04,920
<i>I just learned about it, hence, I immediately came here to report it to you.</i>

281
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:15,020
<i>Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com</i>

282
00:28:17,300 --> 00:28:22,350
<i>Alike. They indeed looked alike.</i>

283
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:30,950
<i>Royal Mother, don't worry. We only need to eliminate the problem down to the roots.</i>

284
00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:33,670
<i>Reason is on our side.</i>

285
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:38,880
<i>Fuyao pretended to be the Medical Sage,</i>

286
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:43,410
<i>harbored evil intentions, and assassinated the queen heir.</i>

287
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,400
<i>She should be executed.</i>

288
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,920
How dare you, criminal! All the evidences are against you.

289
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,160
You still dared to refute it?

290
00:29:09,060 --> 00:29:13,010
This woman disguised as the Medical Sage,

291
00:29:13,010 --> 00:29:19,970
harbored evil intentions, and assassinated the queen heir. She should be executed.

292
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:25,560
Wait. It's fine with me if you want

293
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:30,240
to accuse me with those crimes, but I can't die confused.

294
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,280
Tell me, who really am I, Feng Jinfan?!

295
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,850
You...

296
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,620
Who are you?

297
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:50,920
Miss Fuyao, you must have been blinded by a moment of selfishness and greed.

298
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,630
In the future, I surely will pray Buddhist scriptures so you can be reincarnated,

299
00:29:55,630 --> 00:29:58,680
and remove this foul aura around you.

300
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,470
Informing Your Majesty, the assassination of the Heiress Apparent

301
00:30:06,470 --> 00:30:09,620
is an extremely saddening matter for Plough Nation.

302
00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:14,880
But presently, Plough Nation is swaying in the midst of  a storm, a country can't last a day without a ruler.

303
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,660
We all suggest to let Princess Folian ascend to the position of the Heiress Apparent

304
00:30:18,660 --> 00:30:21,600
to placate the hearts of the people.

305
00:30:30,820 --> 00:30:32,700
No.

306
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:35,730
It's better to seek vengeance for royal eldest sister first.

307
00:30:35,730 --> 00:30:38,870
Let's just talk about it

308
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:43,580
after punishing this murderer. May Royal Mother decide

309
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,630
on all the rewards and punishment.

310
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:53,520
<i>Crown Prince Wuji is here!</i>

311
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:23,190
Your Majesty. How come no one came to inform me when such a huge incident has happened in the palace?

312
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,990
Informing Your Majesty, it is indeed true that this person who assassinated Heiress Apparent has disguised herself as Medical Sage Zong Yue,

313
00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:36,850
but it was still Crown Prince Wuji who brought her here in Plough Nation and introduced her to you.

314
00:31:36,850 --> 00:31:43,610
Basing on that, does Your Highness Crown Prince have any motive against our Plough Nation?

315
00:31:43,610 --> 00:31:46,950
Generally speaking, our Plough Nation has always treated your empire well.

316
00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:50,020
Now is a year of great disaster. Imperial City suffered from a noxious epidemic.

317
00:31:50,020 --> 00:31:52,950
We even delivered 30 extra carts gold to your city.

318
00:31:52,950 --> 00:31:57,380
We also never decreased the deliveries in the past. Even if we have to diminish our own supply,

319
00:31:57,380 --> 00:31:59,680
we tried our best to guarantee the supply to the imperial city.

320
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,490
If we're going to talk about loyal service, Plough Nation has always give its best effort.

321
00:32:03,490 --> 00:32:07,500
We don't ask you to remember our merits, but you shouldn't be stabbing us in the back, right?

322
00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:10,180
If Your Highness Crown Prince has some prejudice against us,

323
00:32:10,180 --> 00:32:13,970
why not just directly say it. Why must you still course it through other people?

324
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,520
- Your Majesty—
- Your Majesty!

325
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,830
Your Majesty, pretending to be Zong Yue

326
00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:23,360
- was completely my own doing. It has nothing to do with Crown Prince.
- You...

327
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,890
If you want to punish anyone, just punish me.

328
00:32:26,890 --> 00:32:32,300
If it was done by one person, then only one person will be punished.

329
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,520
- Men!
- Here!

330
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:42,640
Lock this assassin who pretended to be the Medical Sage into the Yu (a kind of monkey) Prison.

331
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,200
Guard her strictly!

332
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,690
Yes.

333
00:32:49,100 --> 00:32:50,590
You...

334
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:14,950
Your Majesty, this matter has so many doubtful points.

335
00:33:15,900 --> 00:33:20,390
I earnestly ask to talk with you privately. Please agree to it.

336
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:31,050
I still haven't fully recuperated from my illness. At this moment, I'm already mentally and physically exhausted.

337
00:33:31,050 --> 00:33:35,200
Hope Your Highness Crown Prince understand.

338
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:41,430
Let's just talk about your matter next time.

339
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,700
Respectfully sending off Your Majesty.

340
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:17,100
Counting the days, I've already taken in the golden sap of blistering beetle for almost a month.

341
00:34:17,100 --> 00:34:19,100
It won't do me any bad, right?

342
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:20,400
Your Majesty, don't worry.

343
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,000
The poison in the medicinal soup I've concocted is only around 30%.

344
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
There is also Lord Yu Heng who personally controls the amount.

345
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,400
It will never harm your internal organs.

346
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,700
Plus the antidote that Medical Sage Zong gave you a few days ago,

347
00:34:34,700 --> 00:34:39,000
Your Majesty's body now doesn't have much poison anymore.

348
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,800
What Medical Sage Zong?

349
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,800
It was just an fake.

350
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:44,600
Yes.

351
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:48,500
Listen well. This poisonous golden sap of blistering beetle

352
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:53,000
was a method used by evil people to harm our Plough Nation.

353
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,800
It has nothing to do with Alioth or me.

354
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,400
Do you understand?

355
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,400
I...will continue to keep my mouth shut

356
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,600
and obey the command of Your Majesty. I dare not say any word.

357
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,800
It's good that you remember.

358
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:15,000
Get up. You have gained merit.

359
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,200
Your rewards for today will be delivered to your manor.

360
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,500
Thank you, Your Majesty.

361
00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:45,230
This person has no use anymore.

362
00:35:55,700 --> 00:35:58,000
<i>Who really am I?</i>

363
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,100
I told you to kill him, but I didn't ask you to do it now.

364
00:36:05,100 --> 00:36:09,000
An old man dying outside my Astute Time Palace, that's so bad luck!

365
00:36:14,170 --> 00:36:15,590
Okay already.

366
00:36:16,430 --> 00:36:19,340
I was just casually ranting.

367
00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:24,990
I didn't intend to blame you.

368
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,900
I've done my mission. I'm going now.

369
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,540
Why?

370
00:36:55,770 --> 00:36:57,560
Look at me.

371
00:36:58,500 --> 00:37:02,600
Look at me. Look at me well.

372
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,600
I clearly looked the same as her.

373
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,100
How come I can't be the one?

374
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:14,300
Tell me. Why?

375
00:37:15,590 --> 00:37:19,970
You are not her. Never will be.

376
00:37:29,700 --> 00:37:31,600
Too bad.

377
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,000
Her life and death is in my hands.

378
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,600
You finally can't help yourself and want to kill me.

379
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,900
You served by my side for 19 years.

380
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,400
If you dared to do it,

381
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,500
I would have died a thousand times.

382
00:37:54,630 --> 00:37:56,600
Killing me?

383
00:37:59,780 --> 00:38:02,580
It is too easy for you.

384
00:38:04,130 --> 00:38:06,000
But too bad...

385
00:38:10,700 --> 00:38:13,500
...you can't bear to.

386
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:15,400
You can't bear for me to die

387
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,800
and can't bear to continue searching for the whereabouts of your wife and child.

388
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,100
If I die,

389
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,400
you will never find them.

390
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,300
Isn't that so?

391
00:38:28,300 --> 00:38:32,200
These past years, you've turned into a ruthless being.

392
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,800
Just to gain power, you killed so many innocent people.

393
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,800
What's funny is I actually was that most vicious blade in your hand.

394
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,400
I fear that these dirty blood on me can never be cleaned anymore.

395
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:45,200
What does being not a human nor a ghost mean? What does having a heart that's like an ash mean?

396
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,800
Look! Look!

397
00:38:49,900 --> 00:38:52,800
You really think that I would believe you?

398
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,200
It was you who forced me to make a life pact.

399
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,400
It was you who forced me to kill people for power.

400
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,000
It was you who forced me to become what I am now.

401
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,800
And you even said that you'll help me find them.

402
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,800
I think that you'd rather take the secret to your grave

403
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,400
than tell it to me, am I right?

404
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,800
Even if it's like that, you brought it to yourself!

405
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,400
Who told you to choose Feng Qi then and not me?!

406
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,900
In terms of appearance,

407
00:39:23,100 --> 00:39:27,000
I looked completely the same as her.

408
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,600
In terms of talent and learning,

409
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,000
I never lost to her.

410
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,400
In terms of strategies fit for a ruler, I'm better than her by a mile!

411
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,800
For so many years, your feelings for her has never changed!

412
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:40,600
Why?!

413
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,800
Why must I let you live a happy life?

414
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,400
I wanted to die long ago.

415
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,600
Since living will be this painful, then let's just die together!

416
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,650
Your daughter isn't dead.

417
00:40:01,030 --> 00:40:02,890
Where is she?

418
00:40:04,150 --> 00:40:06,430
Where is she?!

419
00:40:07,940 --> 00:40:10,300
Don't rush.

420
00:40:11,500 --> 00:40:15,800
After I executed that murderer who killed a queen heir,

421
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:21,700
everything in the past, the whereabouts of your daughter,

422
00:40:21,700 --> 00:40:24,100
I will tell them all to you.

423
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:29,500
Okay. I'll wait.

424
00:40:45,300 --> 00:40:46,900
Girl!

425
00:40:55,580 --> 00:40:57,160
Sorry.

426
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,400
I had you suffer. I'll take you out of here now.

427
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:04,800
Wait a minute.

428
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,200
I can't leave. I don't want to leave.

429
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,000
I've investigated this whole matter already.

430
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,300
I will never spare those that harmed you.

431
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,380
The reason I don't want to leave is...

432
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,600
Do you remember that I once told you that I'm investigating a phoenix totem?

433
00:41:29,500 --> 00:41:32,800
I seemed to have seen that totem when I was little,

434
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:37,500
but I can't remember where. This time, although Folian framed me,

435
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:40,600
it made me remember some incidents in the past,

436
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,200
but all are still very fuzzy.

437
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:48,800
Hence, I want to continue staying here and see if I can find out about my past.

438
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,100
Maybe, I will be able to remember who I am.

439
00:41:57,460 --> 00:41:59,400
I'll help you.

440
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:02,700
I also found out a few things on my side.

441
00:42:02,700 --> 00:42:05,800
I can vaguely see the truth behind the royal palace of Plough Nation.

442
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,000
Maybe your true identity is deeply connected

443
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:12,000
with the secret of this royal palace. We must start here.

444
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:16,600
But if we want to find the truth out, we still must ask one person for help.

445
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:17,820
Who are you talking about?

446
00:42:17,820 --> 00:42:19,600
Alioth.

447
00:42:20,700 --> 00:42:22,800
He has already been in this palace for a long time.

448
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,600
As Feng Xuan's shadow, everything that happened here in the palace,

449
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,200
he knows it more than anyone else.

450
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,600
Why will he help us?

451
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,800
I made an agreement with him.

452
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,000
As long as I can help him find the whereabouts of his daughter, he will secretly provide us help here in the palace

453
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,800
and try his best to tie down Feng Xuan.
