[Episode 5]
2
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,000
I can help Your Majesty
3
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,959
take care of Lu Chang Fu's case.
4
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,040
But I
5
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,079
have three conditions.
6
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:46,599
First,
7
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:49,239
I'll deal with all obstacles
and enemies blocking Your Majesty's way.
8
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:50,560
In return, Your Majesty must help me
9
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,280
clear the name of the Heiyun Cavalry,
10
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,239
restore the reputation of our family,
11
00:01:54,239 --> 00:01:56,219
and find justice for my brother.
12
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,280
Back then, General Xiu Wen said
13
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,680
he entered the Capital following
the late emperor's edict.
14
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,280
But he could not show the edict.
15
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,700
So...
16
00:02:05,359 --> 00:02:06,760
Without the edict,
17
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,299
it will be difficult to overturn the case.
18
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:10,520
When I was in prison,
19
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,379
Marquis Muyang told me
20
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,340
that he had destroyed the edict.
21
00:02:15,926 --> 00:02:17,840
Marquis Muyang was outrageous.
22
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,539
Your Majesty, do you believe me?
23
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,260
I believe you, Cousin.
24
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,880
If Marquis Muyang is killed,
25
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,633
there may be a chance.
26
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,360
Okay.
27
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,039
You have my word.
28
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:34,240
Before Marquis Muyang is dead,
29
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,639
the court will never find peace.
30
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,360
Secondly, I request the power of investigation.
31
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,960
I want access to all archives
32
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,560
and documents of the six ministries.
33
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,879
I shall have the right to
34
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:44,879
summon anyone involved in the case
for questioning.
35
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:46,599
I also request the power of arrest.
36
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:48,520
For any official below the fifth rank
involved in the case,
37
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,719
I can skip the Dali Court
38
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:51,120
and send them to the imperial prison.
39
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,879
I request the right to submit secret reports.
40
00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:54,039
Information gathered by my detectives
41
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:55,080
within the Capital's districts
42
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,280
shall be reported directly to Your Majesty.
43
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,159
Thirdly,
44
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:01,073
I want a person.
45
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,719
Lady. This is our new osmanthus cake.
It is soft and not too sweet.
46
00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:07,360
Even the prefects' ladies specifically
asked for it.
47
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,160
- Alright.
- This way.
48
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,880
[Qingfeng Mingyue Tower]
49
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,900
If Lu Chang Fu manages to go to Huaixi,
50
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:23,080
it'll be impossible to solve the arms case,
51
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,360
and it will be even harder
52
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,060
to take down Marquis Muyang.
53
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:29,879
His Majesty's message is clear.
54
00:03:29,879 --> 00:03:31,879
Lu Chang Fu
55
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:33,424
cannot leave the Capital alive.
56
00:03:33,424 --> 00:03:34,843
Okay.
57
00:03:35,633 --> 00:03:36,804
Then let's kill him.
58
00:03:36,804 --> 00:03:38,920
Poison, sword, fire, or drowning.
59
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,640
What do you prefer, Your Highness?
60
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,240
Lu Chang Fu is guilty of heinous crimes.
61
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,599
Though we can't get him legally punished now,
62
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:48,500
he must die.
63
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,260
What do you think, Cousin?
64
00:03:55,036 --> 00:03:56,840
I think
65
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,506
if he is to die,
66
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,640
he should die before all the officials,
67
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,040
in broad daylight.
68
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,240
But Mother...
69
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,680
After all, Your Majesty shall come first.
70
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,137
But Marquis Muyang has eight evil subordinates.
71
00:04:14,137 --> 00:04:15,680
Zhou Cheng Xiang,
72
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,560
Wen Zhong and Lv Cheng have all been executed.
73
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,830
And Lu Chang Fu will also be dead soon.
74
00:04:20,830 --> 00:04:23,240
Then, should we kill the rest?
75
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,360
Those with blood on their hands
76
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,759
should all be killed.
77
00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:28,579
Have you thought this through?
78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,070
If we kill Lu Chang Fu,
79
00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:33,699
Marquis Muyang will surely seek revenge.
80
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,560
My family was ruined,
81
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,720
and so am I now.
82
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,199
Why should I be afraid of
Marquis Muyang's revenge?
83
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:44,480
So are you?
84
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,160
You are married.
85
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,413
You have a wife.
86
00:04:52,079 --> 00:04:53,319
Ye Li.
87
00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:55,493
You can leave now.
88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,160
Where would I go?
89
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,040
Anywhere.
90
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,959
You married me to leave Li Mountain.
91
00:05:04,959 --> 00:05:06,480
We have been married
92
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,959
for some time now.
93
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:10,193
I can report to the Empress Dowager
94
00:05:10,193 --> 00:05:11,440
that you and I
95
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,000
are incompatible,
96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,970
and request a divorce.
97
00:05:14,970 --> 00:05:16,560
You can either return to your maiden family,
98
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,400
or leave the Capital.
99
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,904
It's a big world.
100
00:05:19,904 --> 00:05:21,860
You can go anywhere.
101
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:30,586
Why are you looking at me?
102
00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:34,279
I think you're acting strange today.
103
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,240
You keep urging me to leave.
104
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,339
And you say I can go anywhere.
105
00:05:39,180 --> 00:05:40,639
Are you plotting a rebellion?
106
00:05:40,639 --> 00:05:42,453
Don't talk nonsense.
107
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,360
I'm doing this for your own good.
108
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,480
Drink the soup. That's really for my good.
109
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,953
Otherwise, if it gets cold,
I'll have to heat it again.
110
00:06:02,466 --> 00:06:04,120
If you just want to repay me
111
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,459
for saving you in the desert back then,
112
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,360
you can count the snacks you gave me when I was
113
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,279
locked in the prisoner cart as your repayment.
114
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,139
After all, without those snacks,
115
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,039
I wouldn't have survived
the hardships of prison.
116
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:21,560
You remembered me?
117
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,040
Why didn't you tell me?
118
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,879
I thought you had forgotten.
119
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:26,319
On our wedding day,
120
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:27,480
you told me
121
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,366
it was our first time meeting.
122
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,500
Wasn't it you who had forgotten?
123
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,800
When did you remember me?
124
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,880
Did you recognize me at first sight,
125
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,086
or was it only later?
126
00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:46,920
I'm talking to you about divorce.
127
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,486
My question is also important.
128
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:57,079
Since we both want an answer first,
129
00:06:57,079 --> 00:06:59,413
why don't we let the coin decide?
130
00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:04,720
If it's the side with "Xi De Tong Bao,"
131
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,040
I'll listen to you.
132
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,899
We'll continue talking about divorce.
133
00:07:08,900 --> 00:07:10,480
If it's side with the star and moon pattern,
134
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,760
then you'll listen to me.
135
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:12,920
We'll talk about
136
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,300
when you remembered me.
137
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,760
[Xi De Tong Bao]
138
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,040
Fine.
139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,079
I'll do as fate says.
140
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:32,000
We'll talk about what happened before,
141
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,920
and then the divorce.
142
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,639
Tell me now.
143
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:41,620
When did you remember me?
144
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
It's the fifth watch, the hour of Yin.
145
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,920
Early to bed, early to rise.
146
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Take care of yourself.
147
00:08:09,380 --> 00:08:12,753
[Lu's Mansion]
148
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:20,160
The hour of Yin is when officials go to court.
149
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,879
From Chongren Ward through Yanximen Street,
150
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:23,623
and then to the Imperial City,
151
00:08:23,623 --> 00:08:25,264
it's such a long way.
152
00:08:25,264 --> 00:08:26,600
No matter how careful we are,
153
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,144
there will inevitably be oversights.
154
00:08:28,144 --> 00:08:29,680
We can set an ambush in advance.
155
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,560
When he passes by, we'll shoot arrows.
156
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,840
We'll make sure he won't leave alive.
157
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,084
It's difficult.
158
00:08:35,084 --> 00:08:36,160
You should know,
159
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,833
Lu Chang Fu's carriage is no ordinary one.
160
00:08:38,833 --> 00:08:40,159
It doesn't look special,
161
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:41,159
but actually,
162
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:43,480
it's double-layered elm reinforced with steel.
163
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,919
Moreover,
the carriage is surrounded by expert fighters.
164
00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:48,480
We can have a try,
165
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,320
but if we don't kill him in one strike,
166
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,240
it will only alert him.
167
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,940
It won't be easy to kill him after that.
168
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,279
From Daming Palace's Longwei Road
to Danque Gate,
169
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:25,080
officials must walk unarmed.
170
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:26,399
Inside the Imperial Palace,
171
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:28,760
Lu Chang Fu isn't allowed to
bring his bodyguards.
172
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,980
When the court assembly is finished,
173
00:09:29,980 --> 00:09:31,080
the Imperial Guards will pass
174
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,200
cross halberds for the shift change.
175
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,879
Besides, the defense there is weak.
176
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:38,040
It's the perfect place for his death.
177
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,120
Okay.
178
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,200
Then our men
179
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,086
will hide in the high buildings.

- Commissioner Lu.
- Alright.
181
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:04,159
Alright.
182
00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:05,840
- Alright.
- Congratulations, Commissioner Lu.

184
00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:09,279
Congratulations, Commissioner Lu.
185
00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:10,679
Congratulations, General...
186
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,813
no, I mean, Commissioner Lu.
187

[Lv Cheng] [Zhou Cheng Xiang] [Wen Zhong]
188
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,080
By the way, someone from the Ye family came.
189
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,399
They said next month is Madam's birthday.
190
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:35,626
They want you back for a reunion dinner.
191
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,346
A reunion dinner?
192
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:47,760
Your Majesty. Her Majesty.
193
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,440
Marquis Muyang was unwell,
194
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,353
so he didn't attend court.
195
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:57,960
In the Capital's districts,
196
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,759
four high-ranking officials
have been killed in succession.
197
00:11:59,759 --> 00:12:01,759
Though we have investigated day and night,
198
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:03,070
we have no leads.
199
00:12:03,070 --> 00:12:04,166
I...
200
00:12:04,166 --> 00:12:06,040
am too ashamed to lead the office.
201
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,880
I beg Your Majesty for punishment.
202
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,679
Minister Gongshu, that's not necessary.
203
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,559
The bandits are getting bold.
204
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,120
First, they killed Yuan Fang,
205
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,764
and now the four court officials.
206
00:12:17,764 --> 00:12:19,279
They are so ruthless.
207
00:12:19,279 --> 00:12:21,840
It's impossible for you
to stop them by yourself.
208
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,559
I can't blame it only on you.
209
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,960
Besides, you have led the office for six years,
210
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,960
and overturned 36 wrongful cases.
211
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,039
Mother and I are well aware of your service.
212
00:12:30,039 --> 00:12:32,360
Do not mention punishment again.
213
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,980
What do you think, Mother?
214
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,114
Your Majesty is correct.
215
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,860
Thank you, Your Majesties, for your mercy.
216
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,284
Your Majesty.
217
00:12:48,284 --> 00:12:49,320
Your Majesty the Empress Dowager.
218
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,919
Huaixi is the strategic key
to the Jianghuai region.
219
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:54,360
Now that its commissioner,
Lu Chang Fu, is dead,
220
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:55,480
I think
221
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,559
we must find a capable person
for the position now.
222
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,853
Does anyone have a recommendation?
223
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,279
I have a recommendation.
224
00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,520
I think Gongshu Yang is fit for this position.
225
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,720
During the Huaizhou army revolt
in the fifth year of Xide,
226
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,759
as the Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture,
227
00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:18,519
he oversaw the transport of Jianghuai grain.
228
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:20,520
He defeated thirteen groups of pirates.
229
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,440
He is a capable official.
230
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,440
Minister Gongshu's achievements
are indeed remarkable.
231
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,480
Moreover, he was handpicked by Mother.
232
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,960
He is a man of noble character.
233
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,720
Since Huaixi is currently in peril,
234
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:31,919
we need exactly someone
235
00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:34,200
loyal and diligent like him.
236
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,126
What do you think, Mother?
237
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,759
Your Majesty makes a point.
238
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:40,969
Minister Gongshu,
239
00:13:40,969 --> 00:13:42,969
are you willing to take the position?
240
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:46,679
I...
241
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,200
am willing.
242
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,920
I shall follow the arrangements
of Your Majesties.
243
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,200
Okay.
244
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,780
Draft the decree.
245
00:13:57,039 --> 00:13:58,740
Yes.
246
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,840
Promote Governor Gongshu Yang
to the Acting Chancellor of War
247
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,720
and appoint him
as Huaixi Military Commissioner.
248
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,159
Give him the Qilin Tally and the Golden Armor.
249
00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:10,000
He shall leave the Capital
for his position three days later.
250
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,906
Thank you, Your Majesty.
251
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:15,320
Your Majesty.
252
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,386
Since Governor Gongshu is promoted
to Huaixi Military Commissioner,
253
00:14:18,386 --> 00:14:20,759
the Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture
position is now vacant.
254
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:23,159
We should find a person for that position.
255
00:14:23,159 --> 00:14:25,600
You are right.
256
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:26,840
I think,
257
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,920
with the bandits out of control,
258
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,640
this person must have military experience
259
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,960
to deal with these evil bandits.
260
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,240
Do you have a recommendation?
261
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,440
Prince Ding,
262
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,226
Mo Xiu Yao.
263
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,840
Minde Hall was
264
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,679
quite a scene today.
265
00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:55,559
Murong Shen recommended you
as Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.
266
00:14:55,559 --> 00:14:57,320
Zhang Heng Yuan was the first
to stand out and object.
267
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,600
He said you...
268
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,920
It's his word.
269
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,137
He called you a cripple and a man in disgrace.
270
00:15:02,137 --> 00:15:04,440
He said you cannot handle
such a heavy responsibility.
271
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,440
Marquis Muyang's other lackeys were even worse.
272
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,080
They said you haven't left home for years,
273
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,639
and that you're eccentric,
refusing to socialize with anyone.
274
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:12,639
You can't manage the affairs
of the Capital Prefecture
275
00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:14,840
and ensure the city's security.
276
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,919
You don't need to repeat every word.
277
00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:19,120
I just want to make it clear.
278
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,879
Don't interrupt.
279
00:15:20,879 --> 00:15:22,639
At that critical moment,
280
00:15:22,639 --> 00:15:24,453
guess what happened?
281
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,780
Jin, have a guess.
282
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:32,440
Duke of Huaguo stepped forward
283
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,939
to support you.
284
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:36,679
Duke of Huaguo?
285
00:15:36,679 --> 00:15:38,320
Yeah. Duke of Huaguo.
286
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,440
He hasn't spoken in court for years.
287
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,159
I wonder why he spoke up today.
288
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:44,960
At first, Murong Shen's men and
Marquis Muyang's men were arguing endlessly.
289
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,360
They couldn't reach consensus.
290
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,960
But the Duke of Huaguo
represents the military of our country.
291
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,120
As soon as he spoke up,
292
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,080
those who supported you had the upper hand.
293
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,919
They totally beat those who objected.
294
00:15:54,919 --> 00:15:56,560
Those who objected couldn't do anything.
295
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,120
Then you were officially chosen.
296
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,680
Her Majesty didn't stop it?
297
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Maybe because of the power of Duke of Huaguo.
298
00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:05,059
Wrong.
299
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,560
Although Marquis Muyang was once
favored by Her Majesty,
300
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,672
he is now a thing of the past.
301
00:16:11,672 --> 00:16:13,279
The one who is truly in favor now
302
00:16:13,279 --> 00:16:14,759
is Gongshu Yang.
303
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:15,840
Look at His Majesty.
304
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,880
He gave him such a lucrative
position in Huaixi.
305
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,840
But Her Majesty couldn't say a word.
306
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:22,840
His Majesty's open scheme
307
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,940
is truly impressive.
308
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,679
No wonder he can be the emperor.
309
00:16:28,679 --> 00:16:31,500
You talk as if you were at court today.
310
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,600
While I stayed home,
311
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,120
I was always the first to know.
312
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,039
That is what I'm capable of.
313
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:38,519
But we didn't
314
00:16:38,519 --> 00:16:39,600
kill Lu Chang Fu.
315
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,360
Then who did?
316
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,840
Did His Majesty say anything?
317
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,960
If it is one of Lu Chang Fu's victims,
318
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,279
with no other crimes to his name,
319
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:48,106
His Majesty will forgive him.
320
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,200
I must say, this person is quite something.
321
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,040
If you can find him, you should recruit him.
322
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,159
By the way, the capital's new governor
323
00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:57,600
is about to take office.
324
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,680
Any thoughts?
325
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,244
I think
326
00:17:00,244 --> 00:17:02,120
you've been here a long time.
327
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,713
It's time to leave.
328
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,079
I heard that a few days ago,
329
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:10,360
Her Highness burned down your study.
330
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:12,119
That's quite a loss.
331
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:13,359
With Her Highness's temper,
332
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,260
you're in for a hard time.
333
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,339
Feng Zhi Yao.
334
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,000
You dare to plant spies in my place?
335
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,621
You've got some nerve.
336
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,020
I wouldn't dare.
337
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,460
Where is Her Highness?
338
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:41,759
Her Highness
339
00:17:41,759 --> 00:17:43,619
went out early this morning.
340
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:05,820
[Seven Men of Li Mountain]
341
00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:16,780
[My Late Teachers and Friends,
Seven Men of Li Mountain]
342
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,660
Back then, Lu Chang Fu framed you all
343
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:34,960
and burned you to death.
344
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,779
We have avenged you.
345
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,013
You can rest in peace.
346
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,960
Are you alright?
347
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,940
Did you eat too much this morning?
348
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,759
I didn't eat anything at all this morning.
349
00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:55,720
It's because of the boatman.
350
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,200
He kept swaying the boat back and forth.
351
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,980
It made me so dizzy.
352
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,880
We're leaving soon.
353
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,460
Aren't you going to say goodbye
to your senior disciples?
354
00:19:07,559 --> 00:19:09,119
No.
355
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:10,579
Let's go home.
356
00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:13,259
Please enjoy your meal.
357
00:19:15,559 --> 00:19:17,380
What's your next move?
358
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,440
It's my grandmother's birthday next month.
359
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,680
I plan to return to my maiden family's manor.
360
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,759
Will you tell them?
361
00:19:25,759 --> 00:19:27,819
I have to tell them sooner or later.
362
00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:31,680
Just be careful in everything you do.
363
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,119
Back at Suixue Pass,
364
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,960
someone tried to take Yuan Fang from us.
365
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:35,960
And this time,
366
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,119
on the same day we planned to take action,
367
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,079
someone killed Tian Feng,
Chen Feng Yuan, and Lu Zhi.
368
00:19:40,079 --> 00:19:41,319
Someone else must also be targeting
369
00:19:41,319 --> 00:19:42,720
Marquis Muyang behind his back.
370
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,160
They might even have their eyes on us.
371
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,066
I'll be careful.
372
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,559
I haven't found any clues
373
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:52,759
about those at Suixue Pass.
374
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:54,559
They are disciplined and strategic,
375
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:56,640
and they are good at martial arts.
376
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,240
If we can get any clues,
377
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,640
we should find them out.
378
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,720
If we can't,
379
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,759
we won't necessarily need to find them.
380
00:20:05,759 --> 00:20:07,039
From what we currently know,
381
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,279
they may not be our enemies.
382
00:20:09,279 --> 00:20:11,480
Let them be as long as
they don't get in our way.
383
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,119
Do you think
384
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,720
the ones who secretly killed
Tian Feng and the others
385
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,119
could be the same people
386
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,960
from that day at Suixue Pass?
387
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,240
Are they all
388
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,760
His Majesty's men?
389
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,340
They might not necessarily
be His Majesty's men.
390
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,720
If not, then who do they work for?
391
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,519
Don't tell me it's Her Majesty's men
392
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:32,019
who are fighting among themselves.
393
00:20:32,596 --> 00:20:34,800
Currently in the court,
394
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,000
one side is with His Majesty and Her Majesty,
395
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,559
and the other is with the Duke of Huaguo.
396
00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:42,839
Tian Feng and the others served Marquis Muyang.
397
00:20:42,839 --> 00:20:44,559
Now that they are dead,
398
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:47,359
whoever benefits most from this
399
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,579
should be the mastermind behind this.
400
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:53,279
That makes sense.
401
00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:54,359
By the way,
402
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,839
I've found a new place in the Capital.
403
00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:58,279
Next time you need me,
404
00:20:58,279 --> 00:20:59,880
no need to send word to Ye's Mansion.
405
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,160
You're not staying at Ye's Mansion?
406
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,880
Aren't you their head guard?
407
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,759
What's so good about being a head guard?
408
00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:08,279
Their bed for me is too hard,
409
00:21:08,279 --> 00:21:09,519
and the bedding is damp.
410
00:21:09,519 --> 00:21:11,119
The daily meals are nothing
but bland and watery.
411
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,440
Because of what you said back then,
412
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,960
I went undercover at Ye's Mansion.
413
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,039
It wasn't easy for me during these three years.
414
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:18,559
Now that everything is settled,
415
00:21:18,559 --> 00:21:19,559
I will
416
00:21:19,559 --> 00:21:21,339
move to a new place.
417
00:21:22,559 --> 00:21:24,859
So where is your new place?
418
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,093
Xiangqi House.
419
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,966
Xiangqi House?
420
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,680
If Master Guan finds out,
he'll definitely beat you up.
421
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,119
When he was young,
422
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,040
he was even more of a playboy than I am.
423
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,866
Is that so?
424
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,319
Qing Shuang,
425
00:21:46,319 --> 00:21:48,420
is Master Guan really that kind of person?
426
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,506
I have no idea.
427
00:21:53,279 --> 00:21:54,279
Qing Shuang
428
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:56,039
is also here?
429
00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:57,820
Of course.
430
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,359
Li,
431
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,799
how have you been
432
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:06,859
at Prince Ding's Mansion lately?
433
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
I'm doing quite well.
434
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,400
Then what about Qing Shuang?
435
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,000
Is she adjusting well?
436
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,819
Why is she not?
437
00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:19,039
Senior Brother,
438
00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:21,359
you shouldn't be worrying
about Qing Shuang right now.
439
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,519
You should worry about yourself.
440
00:22:23,519 --> 00:22:25,079
Lu Chang Fu is dead.
441
00:22:25,079 --> 00:22:26,400
And he was burned to death
442
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,960
right in the Imperial Palace.
443
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,180
There will definitely be
an investigation later.
444
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,839
You'll live in a conspicuous place
like Xiangqi House.
445
00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:35,720
You must be careful with your whereabouts.
446
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,240
I know.
447
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,240
But you
448
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,839
should also be careful.
449
00:22:39,839 --> 00:22:41,160
Your dear Prince Ding
450
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,220
is not simple.
451
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:45,119
Don't worry.
452
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,240
We're getting along quite well.
453
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,599
Really?
454
00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:50,039
Of course.
455
00:22:50,039 --> 00:22:53,279
Before I left the mountain,
I asked Senior Brother He to read my fortune.
456
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:56,000
He said Prince Ding and I will live in harmony
457
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,119
and have many children.
458
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,380
Alright then.
459
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,720
How has Senior Brother He been lately?
460
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,720
He's doing well.
461
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,619
But he's always thinking about the tree
in front of his house.
462
00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:08,880
He told me many times
463
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,119
that after I left the mountain,
464
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,220
I must find time to cut it down for him.
465
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,880
Let's go.
466
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,200
Sir.
467
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,620
The bill, please.
468
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,586
Your Highness.
469
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,200
Why is it so noisy outside?
470
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,760
Who is here?
471
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,160
His Highness's friend is here.
472
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,000
He's in the front yard.
473
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,920
A friend?
474
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,039
A Ding said it's Feng Zhi Yao
from Qingfeng Mingyue Tower.
475
00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:50,186
He's here to borrow a horse from His Highness.
476
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:52,437
I'll go take a look.
477
00:23:52,437 --> 00:23:56,420
Your Highness,
you should freshen up before seeing a guest.
478
00:23:58,599 --> 00:24:00,740
Alright then. Then be quick.
479
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,790
This horse, Jing Fan, isn't spirited enough,
Xiu Yao.
480
00:24:16,790 --> 00:24:18,359
I want to ride your horse, Lie Yun.
481
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,419
You can't ride Lie Yun.
482
00:24:20,419 --> 00:24:21,640
What a joke.
483
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,160
If you can ride it, why can't I?
484
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:24,920
Jing Fan is Lie Yun's son.
485
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:25,960
I don't want to ride the son.
486
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,926
I want to ride the father.
487
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,480
Master Feng.
488
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,000
Lie Yun was raised in the desert winds,
and is extremely wild.
489
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,200
He only recognizes his master.
490
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,400
Last year, he even bit the arm
of a merchant at the West Market.
491
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,760
Be careful not to get hurt.
492
00:24:39,639 --> 00:24:42,160
I'm going to a polo match tomorrow,
and I need a good horse.
493
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,879
Don't be stingy.
494
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,720
Back then, it charged through
the three towns of Cangbei.
495
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,160
Tomorrow, I'm going to ride it
496
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,819
and score three points in a row
on the polo field.
497
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:08,960
Xiu Yao!
498
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,900
Help me!
499
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:15,259
You're just going to watch me die, Xiu Yao?
500
00:25:16,319 --> 00:25:18,819
Lady, please get out of the way!
501
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,120
Are you alright?
502
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,160
I'm fine.
503
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,460
That's good.
504
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:49,640
Let's go.
505
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,546
But I'm not fine!
506
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,240
I must say,
507
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,680
Her Highness
508
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,380
is quite a match for you.
509
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:10,840
Let me borrow this.
510
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,340
I'm going to meet Her Highness.
511
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,056
I'm fine.
512
00:26:23,056 --> 00:26:25,160
It's just a scratch.
513
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,279
You are not fine.
514
00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:28,680
Look, you're bleeding.
515
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,286
And you wanted me to freshen up
before seeing the guest?
516
00:26:31,286 --> 00:26:32,559
I just didn't expect that
517
00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:34,480
Master Feng dared to ride His Highness's horse
518
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,039
while he was so bad at horse riding.
519
00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:37,859
He really overestimated himself.
520
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,119
I am Feng Zhi Yao from Qingfeng Mingyue Tower.
521
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:44,660
Greetings, Your Highness.
522
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,320
Your Highness suffered trouble today
because of me.
523
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,200
I feel quite guilty,
524
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,059
so I've come to deliver some medicine.
525
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,793
You were talking about me
behind my back, weren't you?
526
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,040
A man like him won't hold it against you.
527
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,000
Just apologize to Master Feng.
528
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:10,880
- Please forgive me, Master Feng.
- It's okay.
529
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,030
I was just joking.
530
00:27:13,030 --> 00:27:15,019
- Please.
- Thank you.
531
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,720
This Ice Toad Ointment
532
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,840
is excellent for healing skin
and promoting circulation.
533
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,720
Tomorrow, I'll send rouges of 12 colors
534
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,360
to make amends to Your Highness.
535
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:25,160
I'll accept the medicine,
536
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,599
but the rouges are unnecessary.
537
00:27:26,599 --> 00:27:28,019
I have no use anyway.
538
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:30,839
Fine.
539
00:27:30,839 --> 00:27:32,680
Since you've accepted the medicine,
540
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,400
I'll take it as your forgiveness.
541
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,760
I won't force you to take the rouges.
542
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:38,720
However,
543
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,859
I can tell Your Highness a secret.
544
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,560
What secret?
545
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,459
A secret to handle
His Highness's strange temper.
546
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,020
I'm all ears.
547
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,640
His Highness
548
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,839
has simply been alone for too long.
549
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:56,480
He just needs a wife
550
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,680
as beautiful as Your Highness.
551
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,160
I think
552
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,920
he shouldn't stay indoors for too long.
553
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,400
Take him out to see the bustling world.
554
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,599
Then he will no longer
have such a strange temper.
555
00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:09,820
His Highness is such a disciplined man.
556
00:28:09,820 --> 00:28:11,000
Master Feng,
557
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,146
don't mislead him.
558
00:28:13,725 --> 00:28:16,153
I don't deserve to mislead him.
559
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,079
His Highness is like a snake.
560
00:28:20,079 --> 00:28:22,146
He is all venom.
561
00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:27,040
See?
562
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,000
Next time you talk behind someone's back,
563
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,766
keep your voice down.
564
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,940

These lyrics
573
00:29:16,359 --> 00:29:18,500
should be written by those of Li Mountain.

Li Mountain?
575

An old friend from the past and I
576
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,179
have been apart for many years.
577
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,500
Are you thinking of Wan Zhou?

00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,040
Regarding what happened back then,
579
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,119
we had no other choice.
580
00:29:59,119 --> 00:30:01,080
With Wan Zhou's temper,
581
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,240
it was better for her to stay at Li Mountain.
582
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,400
How are things with Prince Ding?
583
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,019
They have been married for some time now.
584
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,360
Your Majesty.
585
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,160
Her Highness has been quite idle lately.
586
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,370
Their First Madam barely goes out.
587
00:30:18,370 --> 00:30:19,599
I heard that
588
00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:22,119
when Her Highness went to visit her
on the first day,
589
00:30:22,119 --> 00:30:23,720
she rejected Her Highness.
590
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:29,420
Do you want to see her?
591
00:30:34,980 --> 00:30:38,026
[Shende House]
592
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,253
The losses are quite substantial.
593
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:53,799
I am sorry.
594
00:30:53,799 --> 00:30:55,279
But in recent years, people
595
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:56,720
have been tightening their belts.
596
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,160
The porcelain market in the Capital
597
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,200
is indeed in a slump.
598
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,880
It has also been difficult for me.
599
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,680
A few days ago,
while shipping fabric to Yangzhou,
600
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,200
the boat
601
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,440
capsized halfway there.
602
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,400
- All the fabric was lost.
- Yes.
603
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,400
It's just been a bad year for me.
604
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,519
Your Highness,
605
00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:14,680
my shop is in the most remote
corner of the East Market.
606
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:16,800
On ordinary days, very few people visit.
607
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,360
On top of that, a lot of grain stock went bad.
608
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,559
That's why I am in the red.
609
00:31:21,559 --> 00:31:23,559
The antique business is tough, too.
610
00:31:23,559 --> 00:31:24,920
Your Highness,
611
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,240
I feel so ashamed.
612
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,920
I just want to resign from my post.
613
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,400
Yes, Your Highness.
614
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,119
We...
615
00:31:33,119 --> 00:31:35,119
are not fit to be managers.
616
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:37,480
You should be the manager.
617
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,119
You are from Li Mountain,
618
00:31:39,119 --> 00:31:40,680
and are highly educated.
619
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,400
I'm sure you will find a way
to manage the business properly
620
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,799
and turn things around.
621
00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:47,559
Exactly.
622
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:48,880
After you resign,
623
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,079
where do you plan to go?
624
00:31:51,079 --> 00:31:53,040
My son is taking the civil exam.
625
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,319
I must go back to look after him.
626
00:31:55,319 --> 00:31:56,839
My parents are getting old.
627
00:31:56,839 --> 00:31:58,920
I must go home to fulfill my filial duties.
628
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,559
I've been too tired lately.
629
00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:01,920
I want to travel around
630
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,079
to clear my head.
631
00:32:03,079 --> 00:32:06,160
Well. I've been in the Capital for years.
632
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,200
Now,
633
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,759
I've found the right one.
634
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:10,380
I plan to get married.
635
00:32:12,079 --> 00:32:14,880
Finding love while managing a shop?
636
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,079
It proves this shop
637
00:32:16,079 --> 00:32:18,180
can bring you good luck.
638
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,200
I understand.
639
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,000
Running a business is never easy.
640
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,599
You've all worked hard all these years.
641
00:32:24,599 --> 00:32:27,000
- Not at all.
- My grandfather once taught me
642
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
to treat those with merit well.
643
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,079
I will keep
644
00:32:30,079 --> 00:32:31,559
your kindness in mind.
645
00:32:31,559 --> 00:32:33,420
- You're flattering us.
- You're flattering us.
646
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:35,759
Before I left,
647
00:32:35,759 --> 00:32:37,200
Master Zhu gave me
648
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,640
this recommendation letter
for Steward Yang's son.
649
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,079
He asked me to give it to Vice Rites
Minister Zhou, who oversees the exam.
650
00:32:44,079 --> 00:32:46,600
Your son is Master Zhu's direct disciple.
651
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,240
Vice Minister Zhou will surely
take care of him.
652
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,039
Impossible! That's impossible!
653
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:54,960
How could my son be his disciple?
654
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,200
Back in Yangzhou,
655
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,440
Steward Yang used
Master Zhu's fellow townsman's help
656
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,000
to make his son Master Zhu's disciple.
657
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,880
Master Zhu is a renowned scholar.
658
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,920
Would he lie about a student-teacher bond?
659
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,280
Watch your words!
Li Mountain is at the center of the chaos.
660
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,160
That could ruin my son's career!
661
00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:14,400
It is you who should watch your words.
662
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,640
Li Mountain was sealed to compile books.
663
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,280
The palace sent guards
664
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,160
to ensure the peace of the mountain.
665
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,000
You doubted His Majesty's intent
666
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,400
and condemned Li Mountain.
667
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,540
This is a serious crime.
668
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:30,599
Steward Wang.
669
00:33:30,599 --> 00:33:31,599
All these years,
670
00:33:31,599 --> 00:33:33,200
the mountain has been short on supplies.
671
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,640
It's thanks to you for often sending rice
and food to the mountain.
672
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:37,140
No, it wasn't me.
673
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,440
I didn't do that.
674
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,920
Li Mountain was guarded by layers of guards.
675
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,640
How could I send anything?
676
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,119
Your Highness, please do not slander me.
677
00:33:45,119 --> 00:33:47,160
This is a matter of life and death!
678
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,240
The masters
679
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,880
on the mountain can all prove it.
680
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,079
No. How is that possible?
681
00:33:53,079 --> 00:33:55,519
Impossible, impossible.
682
00:33:55,519 --> 00:33:56,839
Impossible.
683
00:33:56,839 --> 00:33:58,360
Steward Zhou.
684
00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,986
Anything to say?
685
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,190
Your Highness,
686
00:34:08,190 --> 00:34:10,400
I must have brought
the wrong account books for Shende House.
687
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,599
I will go back to recheck
688
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:13,400
and get the detailed account books.
689
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,719
Both principal and interest
must be calculated carefully.
690
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:16,880
Otherwise,
691
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:18,400
he will break your legs.
692
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,119
Yes.
693
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,880
What about the rest of you?
694
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,639
Yes. Perhaps
695
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:27,800
we made a mistake.
696
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,280
We will go back and check again.
697
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,119
- Yes.
- Yes.

- Here.
- Here.

00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:36,159
- Hurry up.
- Let's go.
701
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:37,400
I told you we shouldn't do this.
702
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:38,873
Exactly.
703
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:44,019
Your Highness, we have no stewards now.
704
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,659
I already have someone in mind.
705
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,940
Wei Zhuang.
706
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,159
- Zhuang! Great news!
- Madam Wang.
707
00:34:52,159 --> 00:34:53,679
Someone sent you a letter of offer.

They want to hire you as a steward.
709

A letter of offer?
710
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,200
- From which shop?
- It's called Shende House.
711
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:00,599
I heard from my husband
712
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:03,440
that the items it sells
are all worth a fortune.
713
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,239
Just a water cup of this size
714
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,320
can be sold for 50 guans.
715
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,719
If Wei Zhuang gets this job,
716
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,739
your family's hard days will finally be over.
717

[Shende House]
718
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,019
Are you hiring a steward?
719
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,579
Yes.
720
00:36:00,180 --> 00:36:01,320
Your Highness.
721
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,139
Would you like something to eat?
722
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,320
Even if you want to compose a new piece,
723
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,680
you can't play for days without rest.
724
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,966
It's too much for your body to take.
725

There is an edict from the palace.

You and His Highness shall enter
the palace for an audience tomorrow.
728

729
00:36:28,559 --> 00:36:29,579
Yes.

And Prince Ding and Princess Ding.

We will have an audience
at the palace tomorrow.

But you're still in the mood to sleep.
734

Precisely because we are to see
Her Majesty tomorrow,
735
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,980
we should go to bed earlier.
736
00:37:58,280 --> 00:37:59,960
We should calm the mind and spirit
737
00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:02,060
to perform well tomorrow.
738
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,219
I didn't expect you to be so relaxed.
739
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,780
Should I be nervous?
740
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,719
Li Mountain Academy has been
neglected for eight years.
741
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,080
But Her Majesty suddenly summoned you.
742
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,480
Shouldn't you be nervous?
743
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,719
Li Mountain Academy has been sealed for years.
744
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,719
We have never received an imperial summons,
745
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,119
because we were focused on compiling books.
746
00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:34,280
But I believe
747
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,519
Her Majesty has never forgotten
748
00:38:35,519 --> 00:38:38,000
the many masters and students of Li Mountain.
749
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,797
Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent guards
750
00:38:39,797 --> 00:38:41,599
to ensure the peace of Li Mountain.
751
00:38:41,599 --> 00:38:43,619
Do you really think so?
752
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,480
I have admired Her Majesty since I was young.
753
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,079
I often followed my mother
to the palace to see Her Majesty.
754
00:38:50,079 --> 00:38:51,400
Her Majesty even bestowed on me
755
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,360
the palace's unique Nine-layer Cake
and Imperial Red Tea.
756
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,599
She took good care of Mother and me.
757
00:38:56,599 --> 00:38:58,039
So I am not worried
758
00:38:58,039 --> 00:38:59,940
about entering the palace tomorrow.
759
00:39:16,079 --> 00:39:17,460
If so,
760
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,433
go to bed and take a rest.
761
00:39:41,039 --> 00:39:43,340
Your Highness, slow down.
762
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,181
Your Highness.
763
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,320
I didn't sleep well last night,
764
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,599
so I woke up a bit late.
765
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:51,133
Sorry to keep you waiting.
766
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:53,660
Let's go.
767
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,313
Let me do it.
768
00:40:09,253 --> 00:40:11,860
Your Highness. Let me handle this heavy work.
769
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,726
Don't worry.
770
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:41,626
Let's go.
771
00:40:42,639 --> 00:40:44,020
You're so heavy.
772
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,760
Li. Slow down.
773
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,480
- Your Majesty.
- Li.
774
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,000
Your Majesty. I've missed you so much.
775
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,866
You've grown taller.
776
00:41:22,639 --> 00:41:23,760
Wan Zhou.
777
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,440
Mother.
778
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,240
It's been many years since we last met.
779
00:41:37,240 --> 00:41:40,126
How are you adjusting
to being back in the Capital?
780
00:41:40,126 --> 00:41:41,600
Very well.
781
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,120
Thank you, Your Majesty.
782
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:46,880
Your grandfather, Headmaster Xu,
was once my teacher.
783
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,679
I wonder how he is doing.
784
00:41:48,679 --> 00:41:50,920
And how are the other masters?
785
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,080
Your Majesty,
786
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,833
everything is fine.
787
00:41:53,833 --> 00:41:56,800
Grandfather is healthy and busy
compiling books.
788
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,480
Knowing I was leaving the mountain,
789
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,520
he asked me to send Your Majesty his regards.
790
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,600
The other masters are also doing well.
791
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:04,280
They teach and answer questions every day,
792
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,720
assigning lessons to the students.
793
00:42:06,720 --> 00:42:09,840
What are they teaching
at Li Mountain Academy recently?
794
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,017
Astronomy, calendar systems,
795
00:42:11,017 --> 00:42:12,240
the I Ching, and numerology
796
00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:13,780
are all included.
797
00:42:13,780 --> 00:42:16,079
My grandfather would also let his disciples
798
00:42:16,079 --> 00:42:18,400
learn about current political affairs.
799
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,000
Really?
800
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,679
And how exactly did they teach?
801
00:42:21,679 --> 00:42:23,159
When Grandfather and the masters
802
00:42:23,159 --> 00:42:25,800
were annotating
the "Gazetteer of Rivers and Canals,"
803
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,520
they often mentioned that in the
fifth year of Xide,
804
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,730
Your Majesty reformed
the transport network system.
805
00:42:29,730 --> 00:42:31,039
I heard that after the reform,
806
00:42:31,039 --> 00:42:32,880
30,000 fewer trackers were conscripted,
807
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,784
and taxes were reduced by 40 percent.
808
00:42:34,784 --> 00:42:36,079
The masters all said
809
00:42:36,079 --> 00:42:37,840
Your Majesty is a capable ruler.
810
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,653
They admire you greatly.
811
00:42:43,180 --> 00:42:45,840
[On the Next Episode]
812
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,039
Your Highness.
813
00:42:47,039 --> 00:42:49,639
Is Her Highness stealing a tree?
814
00:42:49,639 --> 00:42:51,360
- Who's there?
- A tree thief.
815
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,906
Stop right there!
816
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,000
Why are you cutting down the tree?
817
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,519
Can we go inside to talk?
818
00:42:56,519 --> 00:42:58,119
So now you know it's embarrassing.
819
00:42:58,119 --> 00:43:00,119
There is quite a lot of mud on your shoes.
820
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:01,600
Why?
821
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,538
Is the road from my place to Shende House
822
00:43:03,538 --> 00:43:05,320
that difficult to travel?
823
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,706
I went to help Wu You with a fight.53713
