Jia Pass has natural barriers, and it's only 20 miles from the Mohe River.

88

Even if we manage to pass the river,

89
00:07:48,690 --> 00:07:52,180
we can't breach barriers along it.

90

Before we realize it,

91
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:59,460
the Jing's Army will pour from the pass and force us back to the river.

92
00:07:59,460 --> 00:08:02,150
However, His Majesty has
ordered that we mustn't retreat.

93
00:08:02,150 --> 00:08:07,820
Based on what you said, we can only win by confronting the pass after passing the river.

94
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:09,860
How could that be possible?

95
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:14,150

97

99

He retreated to lure us,

100
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,880
expecting us to lose patience and attack.

101
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,570
What should we do then?

102
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,340
We have three options.

103
00:08:38,340 --> 00:08:40,333
Option one,

104
00:08:40,333 --> 00:08:44,280
cease fire before it's too late.

105
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,610
That won't do, Your Highness.

106
00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:49,280
His Majesty won't agree.

107
00:08:50,470 --> 00:08:57,270
Option two, wait until the river freezes.

108
00:08:57,270 --> 00:08:59,803
However,

109
00:08:59,803 --> 00:09:01,540

111
00:09:04,690 --> 00:09:06,813
Option three,

112
00:09:08,350 --> 00:09:12,510
we pretend to attack the
river while sending a squad

113
00:09:12,510 --> 00:09:14,060
to find the weak point.

114
00:09:14,060 --> 00:09:17,870
However, this approach requires cooperation.

115
00:09:17,870 --> 00:09:20,590
I can't do it alone.

116
00:09:20,590 --> 00:09:22,013
Your Highness,

117
00:09:22,013 --> 00:09:28,130
accomplished generals in
the court are either persecuted or have retreated.

118
00:09:28,130 --> 00:09:30,790
Even General Ye…

119
00:09:30,790 --> 00:09:33,280
We have no men.

120
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,400
There's nothing we can do
but to wait for the river to freeze.

121
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,910
However, His Majesty is paranoid. He won't allow it.

122
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,060

123
00:09:58,060 --> 00:10:00,410

Your Majesty. It's done.

126
00:10:35,450 --> 00:10:37,350
The letter has been intercepted by the Sheng.

127
00:10:37,350 --> 00:10:39,710
I'll send men to watch their moves.

128
00:10:39,710 --> 00:10:42,260
How about those who have been sent?

129
00:10:42,260 --> 00:10:45,510
They've returned, and some of them are injured, but their life is not in danger.

130
00:10:45,510 --> 00:10:47,123

131

A star.

138
00:11:46,380 --> 00:11:47,860
A star?

139
00:11:47,860 --> 00:11:53,180
It fell from the sky and was
collected by a farmer in the north.

Look at you.

156
00:13:40,510 --> 00:13:44,210
You've lost a lot of weight in the palace.

157
00:13:44,210 --> 00:13:49,700
Chuntao told me that Tantai
Jin stays outside the door.

158
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,210
As far as I can see, he has every reason

159
00:13:57,210 --> 00:14:00,520
to refuse to enter our house.

160
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:06,730
As I recall, when he was here, he
had a pretty tough time.

161
00:14:06,730 --> 00:14:11,230
Even if Zeyu didn't find fault
with him,

162
00:14:11,230 --> 00:14:16,440
me and your father have never really looked at him with respect.

163
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:23,400
We mistreated him.

164
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,610
[No wonder he happily came with me, but then refused to come in at the door.]

165
00:14:28,610 --> 00:14:32,410
[It seems that he is reminded
of something unhappy from the past.]

166
00:14:32,410 --> 00:14:34,650
To be honest ,

167
00:14:34,650 --> 00:14:39,450
he spares our lives
despite our ill-treatment,

168
00:14:39,450 --> 00:14:44,740
so I'm grateful for that even
though he's an enemy of the Sheng.

169
00:14:44,740 --> 00:14:49,370
Besides, I can tell he
really cares about you.

170
00:14:49,370 --> 00:14:52,300
Xiwu, you should cherish it.

171

As for other aspects, we can
save them for later consideration.

00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,150
It's so foolish of me to take you back.

183
00:15:55,150 --> 00:15:57,800
I only thought you'd feel lonely in the palace.

184
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,120
The trip is meant to cheer you up.

185
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,210
Yet, you end up waiting for me here.

186
00:16:04,010 --> 00:16:05,720
I…

187
00:16:06,580 --> 00:16:08,413
It's okay.

188
00:16:08,413 --> 00:16:10,650
Did you enjoy your birthday?

189
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,770
That's enough.

190
00:16:16,390 --> 00:16:19,970
Although I didn't
visit your family, still,

191
00:16:19,970 --> 00:16:23,530
I'm happy you take me with you.

192
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,950
Since we have come,
let me show you a place.

193
00:16:32,950 --> 00:16:34,820
[Lingxing Hall]

194
00:16:34,820 --> 00:16:38,170
[Lingxing Hall]
You mentioned your old home.

195
00:16:38,170 --> 00:16:42,230
This is the place
I desired most when I was young.

196
00:16:43,390 --> 00:16:46,410
[Auntie Lan'an. Do you know where Lingxing Hall is?]

197
00:16:46,410 --> 00:16:48,040
[Is it far from here?]

198
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,470
Lingxing Hall?

199
00:16:49,470 --> 00:16:52,800
They said Concubine Rou is buried there.

200
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,790
She's my mom. I want to take a look.

201
00:16:55,790 --> 00:16:58,930
Can we reach there in one or two days?

202
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,530
Well, Lingxing Hall is right beside the city gate.

203
00:17:04,530 --> 00:17:06,100
It's quite close.

204
00:17:06,100 --> 00:17:08,540
Only an hour's walk.

205
00:17:08,540 --> 00:17:10,560
However, it's an imperial graveyard.

206
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,440
It's not for you to come.

207
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,193
Understand?

208
00:17:18,630 --> 00:17:23,450
This one hour's walk is so long

209
00:17:23,450 --> 00:17:27,840
that I didn't
finish until I took the throne.

210
00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:39,700
[Sun Huiran, Concubine Yun, Yue Ruanruan, Concubine Rou
Meng Jingshu, Concubine Lan]

211
00:17:54,630 --> 00:18:01,570
[Sun Huiran, Concubine Yun, Yue Ruanruan, Concubine Rou
Meng Jingshu, Concubine Lan]

212
00:18:05,790 --> 00:18:10,710
[Sun Huiran, Concubine Yun, Yue Ruanruan, Concubine Rou
Meng Jingshu, Concubine Lan]

213
00:18:15,740 --> 00:18:19,573
Mother. She's Ye Xiwu.

214
00:18:21,150 --> 00:18:23,260
I'm his wife.

215
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:33,280
If you saw her for
yourself, you'd love her.

216
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,420
Tantai Jin is now the Emperor of the Jing.

217
00:18:35,420 --> 00:18:37,800
He's doing pretty well. You can rest assured.

218
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,920
I'll come and see you when I have time.

219
00:18:42,740 --> 00:18:45,490
This is my line.

220
00:18:54,730 --> 00:18:56,263
Come.

221
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,610
I give you this opportunity

222
00:19:04,590 --> 00:19:11,080
to pick a place you like and
decide where you want to be buried.

223
00:19:13,630 --> 00:19:15,180
Stop patronizing me.

224
00:19:15,180 --> 00:19:17,830
I never said
I'd spend the rest of my life with you.

225
00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:25,080
Answer me, Ye Xiwu.

226
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,180
Do you have feelings for me?

227
00:19:32,110 --> 00:19:33,590
One day together, deep love forever.

228
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:36,140
Of course, you're my husband.

229
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:39,170
No, I don't mean the marital duty.

230
00:19:39,170 --> 00:19:41,970
I want your true love.

231
00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:50,180
[Little Devil God. This is the only thing I can't give.]

232
00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:55,620
It's fine. I understand.

233
00:19:55,620 --> 00:20:00,200
True love doesn't come easily.

234
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,250
There's no need to rush.

235
00:20:06,590 --> 00:20:09,800
I heard your mother also passed
when you were young.

236
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,550
If you want to commemorate her,

237
00:20:12,550 --> 00:20:15,640
I can set up a spirit tablet here for her.

238
00:20:18,630 --> 00:20:21,040
Don't bother.

239
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,110
She passed away a very long time ago.

240
00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:24,980
Are you sure?

241
00:20:24,980 --> 00:20:28,500
You used to cry every time
you went to pay respects before.

242
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:30,133
Remember?

243
00:20:30,133 --> 00:20:32,760
A bit late to restore decency, don't you think?

244
00:20:34,350 --> 00:20:39,490
[Sorry, I'm not Ye Xiwu.]

245
00:20:39,490 --> 00:20:41,360
[I'm lying.]

246
00:20:54,210 --> 00:20:57,820
[Why does he want my affection?]

247
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,500
[Is he ]

248
00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:06,120
[in love with me?]

249
00:21:12,790 --> 00:21:15,190
[The spikes accumulate so slowly.]

250
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:18,790
[I suppose he doesn't understand love yet.]

251
00:21:18,790 --> 00:21:23,210
[Until when will I collect all of them?]

252
00:21:24,010 --> 00:21:28,500
[Ji Ze said after his fall, Barren Abyss Barrier lasts only 300 days.]

253
00:21:28,500 --> 00:21:30,710
[I should move faster.]

254
00:21:36,390 --> 00:21:39,880
[It hurts by one single poke, ]

255
00:21:44,830 --> 00:21:49,840
[while nine will pierce his heart.]

256
00:22:03,250 --> 00:22:06,810
Your Majesty. This is the information we intercept.

257
00:22:09,020 --> 00:22:15,030
How dare Lin harbor such a
thought when I give him the control.

258
00:22:16,260 --> 00:22:17,110
Calm down, Your Majesty.

259
00:22:17,110 --> 00:22:18,850
How can I calm down?

260
00:22:18,850 --> 00:22:21,070
Haven't you heard the rumor in the city?

261
00:22:21,070 --> 00:22:24,700
They said Prince Xuancheng
disapproved of my decision to start a war.

262
00:22:24,700 --> 00:22:28,190
He thinks I abuse force
at the cost of people.

263
00:22:28,190 --> 00:22:31,350
A rumor is a rumor.

264
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:34,330
I've urged him many times. Have you ever seen him deploy his troops?

265
00:22:34,330 --> 00:22:40,080
I suppose everyone in
the court is expecting me to hand him the throne.

266
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:41,350
Your Majesty.

267
00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:44,080
Prince Xuancheng is loyal to you.

268
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,280
There must be a reason
why he doesn't deploy troops.

269
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,380
Maybe you think too much.

270
00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:52,351
I didn't mean it.

271
00:22:52,351 --> 00:22:55,550
I suppose you're one of them.

272
00:22:55,550 --> 00:22:58,910
Guards, drag him out
and club him to death.

273
00:22:58,910 --> 00:22:59,940
- Yes.
- Yes.

274
00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:02,150
Please spare me, Your Majesty.

275
00:23:02,150 --> 00:23:03,683
Your Majesty.

276
00:23:03,683 --> 00:23:04,940
Please spare me.

277
00:23:04,940 --> 00:23:06,840
Your Majesty.

278
00:23:15,310 --> 00:23:16,943
Report.

279
00:23:16,943 --> 00:23:19,790
Your Highness. An order from the capital.

280
00:23:32,410 --> 00:23:34,110
What is it, Your Highness?

281
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,760
His Majesty demands us
to march north in three days.

282
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:50,700
What should we do?

283
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:54,780
If we do this, the
casualties will be grave.

284
00:23:54,780 --> 00:23:58,210
What do you think, Your Highness?

285
00:24:09,590 --> 00:24:12,750
Follow the order, of course.

286
00:24:12,750 --> 00:24:13,650
Your Highness.

287
00:24:13,650 --> 00:24:15,800
There's something I must say.

288
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,840
A general does what needs to be done.

289
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,910
As you said earlier,
as long as we stay put, we can hold the Mohe River.

290
00:24:21,910 --> 00:24:26,560
If we attack recklessly,
we're almost sure to fall.

291
00:24:33,170 --> 00:24:37,830
I'm a subject of the Sheng
and the son of Emperor Sheng.

292
00:24:37,830 --> 00:24:40,540
I can't disobey my father's order.

293
00:24:40,540 --> 00:24:44,320
I shall lead the soldiers

294
00:24:45,070 --> 00:24:47,460
and make a final attempt.

295
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,590
This battle is going to be tough.

296
00:24:49,590 --> 00:24:51,023
Yes.

297
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,840
What should we do?

298
00:25:02,220 --> 00:25:03,890
Your Majesty, Xiao Lin has passed the river

299
00:25:03,890 --> 00:25:05,940
and landed on the north bank.

300
00:25:13,940 --> 00:25:18,530
As I expected, Emperor Sheng takes the bait.

301
00:25:18,530 --> 00:25:24,360
Qingyu, I promised you to
unite the country and end the war.

302
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:26,820
The time has come.

303
00:25:26,820 --> 00:25:29,591
Qingyu. Follow me. Let's ride to Jia Pass.

304
00:25:29,591 --> 00:25:31,083
Yes.

305
00:25:58,740 --> 00:26:01,360
Where is Tantai Jin?

306
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:03,840
He left for the battlefield.

307
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,390
Not long ago.

308
00:26:05,390 --> 00:26:10,180
They said Xiao Lin
swooped on the Mohe River last night.

309
00:26:10,180 --> 00:26:12,290
Xiao Lin.

310
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,260
Why didn't he take you?

311
00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:17,760
What an innocent girl.

312
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,550
With so many great generals in the Jing,

313
00:26:20,550 --> 00:26:23,120
including your own brother in the front,

314
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:25,750
why would he ever think of me?

315
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:57,830
Your Highness.

316
00:26:57,830 --> 00:27:00,360
The enemy at Jia Pass didn't
expect us to cross the river so quickly.

317
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:02,980
We can break
through this pass in less than half a day.

318
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:04,360
It would cost too many lives.

319
00:27:04,360 --> 00:27:08,080
If we can't take Jia Pass today,
we'll lose nearly half of our men.

320
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,320
We'll succeed.

321
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,380
There are only
a few thousand troops here in Jia Pass.

322
00:27:11,380 --> 00:27:13,690
We almost broke
right through here following them.

323
00:27:13,690 --> 00:27:15,760
They won't last long.

324
00:27:17,350 --> 00:27:18,800
Never underestimate your enemy.

325
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,970
We lost our men to cross the Mohe River.

326
00:27:20,970 --> 00:27:23,600
We fought so hard for days
before seeing a glimmer of hope.

327
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,450
If we can't take Jia Pass by force today,

328
00:27:25,450 --> 00:27:27,450
then we crossed the river in vain.

329
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:46,450
Everyone.

330
00:27:46,450 --> 00:27:48,400
Return to the city at once.

331
00:27:50,190 --> 00:27:52,410
[Jia Pass]

332
00:27:57,170 --> 00:27:58,980
Tantai Jin is already here.

333
00:27:58,980 --> 00:28:01,180
He came faster than I thought.

334
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,040
Your Majesty.

335
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,870
Shall we send the Moonshadow Guards
to flank them from the outside?

336
00:28:08,870 --> 00:28:10,360
We could eliminate them once and for all.

337
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:11,950
There's no need.

338
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,250
Today, I'll hold Xiao Lin captive
by myself on the battlefield

339
00:28:16,250 --> 00:28:18,850
and destroy the Sheng's will to fight.

340
00:29:08,870 --> 00:29:10,930
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.

341
00:29:10,930 --> 00:29:12,080
Your Highness.

342
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,613
Your Highness.

343
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,170
He's the Emperor of the Jing.

344
00:29:16,170 --> 00:29:17,410
He can do witchcraft.

345
00:29:17,410 --> 00:29:20,250
I heard that he could drive demon beasts.

346
00:29:20,250 --> 00:29:23,040
It was his Firewing Army that
breached General Ye's defenses

347
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,120
and defeated him in less than half a month.

348
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,320
He was a hostage prince in the Sheng.

349
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,070
His Majesty didn't treat him well.

350
00:29:29,070 --> 00:29:31,370
He's not going to get back at us, is he?

351
00:29:33,180 --> 00:29:37,080
Xiao Lin, we could talk.

352
00:30:03,650 --> 00:30:04,560
Don't go there.

353
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,093
It's okay.

354
00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:28,110
Xiao Lin.

355
00:30:28,110 --> 00:30:30,730
Now you have all the prestige of the Sheng.

356
00:30:30,730 --> 00:30:37,170
If you would submit to me, I don't
mind sharing the world with you.

357
00:30:38,250 --> 00:30:39,520
Likewise.

358
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,610
If you're willing to withdraw your troops and submit yourself to the Sheng,

359
00:30:43,610 --> 00:30:47,570
I'm also willing to tell my father and make you a lord.

360
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:56,060
You really don't care about the lives of the Sheng's soldiers, Your Highness.

361
00:30:56,740 --> 00:31:02,420
Your army has suffered heavy losses
at the Mohe River and Jia Pass.

362
00:31:02,420 --> 00:31:06,210
You knew that your odds
of winning this battle were slim,

363
00:31:06,210 --> 00:31:09,010
but you couldn't go
against your emperor's orders,

364
00:31:09,010 --> 00:31:13,410
so you decided to take the plunge.

365
00:31:13,410 --> 00:31:15,023
Am I right?

366
00:31:19,070 --> 00:31:20,170
What a pity.

367
00:31:20,170 --> 00:31:22,730
Had I been here a few hours later,

368
00:31:22,730 --> 00:31:25,480
perhaps you really could have taken Jia Pass.

369
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,210
However, as smart as you should know,

370
00:31:29,210 --> 00:31:33,770
even if you managed to
retreat today, the Sheng

371
00:31:33,770 --> 00:31:36,970
will only last for a few more days.

372
00:31:36,970 --> 00:31:38,220
The Sheng has not come to an end yet.

373
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:39,520
Don't you try to mislead people here.

374
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,390
Xiao Lin.

375
00:31:44,110 --> 00:31:48,500
A great man should go with the flow,

376
00:31:48,500 --> 00:31:52,180
not fight it pointlessly.

377
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,493
Looks like

378
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,210
there's no deal.

379
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:07,940
Xiao Lin, you knew perfectly
well that you couldn't win.

380
00:33:54,890 --> 00:33:56,490
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.

381
00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:07,400
Heart-guarding Scale.

382
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,100
What a treasure.

383
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,850
Jia Pass is such an ideal place
to draw lightning.

384
00:34:38,850 --> 00:34:42,270
Look how much thunderbolt and lightning just one Lightning Charm can draw.

385
00:34:42,270 --> 00:34:43,930
It's a pity that you reacted too fast,
Your Majesty.

386
00:34:43,930 --> 00:34:48,640
Otherwise, you could personally taste what it's like to be struck by lightning.

387
00:34:51,370 --> 00:34:53,890
We missed our timing. There's no need to fight.

388
00:34:53,890 --> 00:34:55,790
Let's call it quits and retreat.

389
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,133
Your Majesty.

390
00:35:10,930 --> 00:35:12,370
Let them go.

391
00:35:12,370 --> 00:35:15,470
Why, Your Majesty?

392
00:35:19,810 --> 00:35:21,370
He's a smart man.

393
00:35:21,370 --> 00:35:25,090
This war was first
started by Emperor Sheng.

394
00:35:25,090 --> 00:35:27,040
It's a war with no just cause.

395
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,320
The forced attack on Jia
Pass was just his last attempt.

396
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,710
He knew he couldn't win.

397
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:44,510
[Only when I reunite all the lands will the war truly end]

398
00:35:54,980 --> 00:35:55,810
Useless!

399
00:35:55,810 --> 00:35:58,170
You are all useless.

400
00:35:58,170 --> 00:36:00,410
Tantai Jin is almost here.

401
00:36:00,410 --> 00:36:03,990
Go back and tell Xiao Lin that
if he can't hold Boshan City, he doesn't have to come back.

402
00:36:03,990 --> 00:36:06,390
Also, send an edict
to Side Concubine of Xuancheng.

403
00:36:06,390 --> 00:36:09,840
Tell her to come to the palace at
once and stay at the Empress's side.

404
00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:17,200
Your Highness.

405
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,900
Why did you get hurt so badly this time?

406
00:36:22,710 --> 00:36:26,850
Tantai Jin was on the battlefield himself.

407
00:36:26,850 --> 00:36:28,780
Tantai Jin?

408
00:36:30,330 --> 00:36:34,240
His troops will soon reach here.

409
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:36,240
If we lost Boshan City,

410
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,350
the Sheng will have
no more strongholds to defend.

411
00:36:38,350 --> 00:36:40,910
However, judging from our current situation,

412
00:36:40,910 --> 00:36:43,010
there's nothing we can do.

413
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:45,080
Your Highness.

414
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,580
A country's fate is unpredictable.

415
00:36:47,580 --> 00:36:52,140
The current situation is not
something you can control alone.

416
00:36:54,810 --> 00:36:58,270
Bingchang, I'm a son of the Xiao family.

417
00:36:59,140 --> 00:37:03,680
My father may be unkind, but I can't be unfilial.

418
00:37:04,810 --> 00:37:07,390
The current war situation is not good for us.

419
00:37:07,390 --> 00:37:09,390
If I die on the battlefield one day…

420
00:37:09,390 --> 00:37:13,210
Your Highness,
please don't say something like that.

421
00:37:19,290 --> 00:37:22,490
Death is always a hair's breadth
away on the battlefield.

422
00:37:22,490 --> 00:37:25,290
I should have told you this earlier.

423
00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:28,543
Bingchang.

424
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,420
If I die in the future,

425
00:37:32,330 --> 00:37:34,940
I hope you won't have to remain a widow for me.

426
00:37:34,940 --> 00:37:37,530
If you find someone reliable

427
00:37:37,530 --> 00:37:39,870
who happens to win your heart

428
00:37:39,870 --> 00:37:43,010
and can take care of you
for the rest of your life,

429
00:37:43,010 --> 00:37:45,660
it's not a bad idea to marry again.

430
00:37:49,270 --> 00:37:51,003
No.

431
00:37:52,230 --> 00:37:54,610
If that day comes,

432
00:37:55,670 --> 00:37:58,560
I'll die alongside you.

433
00:38:02,930 --> 00:38:05,910
Didn't you say that

434
00:38:05,910 --> 00:38:10,500
no matter how good or bad
it is, you'll bear it with me?

435
00:38:14,910 --> 00:38:17,510
I shouldn't have scared you.

436
00:38:17,510 --> 00:38:20,810
It's okay. Don't cry now.

437
00:38:20,810 --> 00:38:23,040
I'm fine right here.

438
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,840
Don't worry.

439
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,770
No matter what happens, I'll keep you safe.

440
00:38:34,870 --> 00:38:38,870
[However, if you can't even save yourself, ]

441
00:38:38,870 --> 00:38:41,400
[how can you save me?]

442
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,140
It took me so hard to collect a few spikes

443
00:38:49,140 --> 00:38:51,240
and now, Little Devil God ran away.

444
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:53,230
What should I do now?

445
00:38:58,620 --> 00:39:03,600
The way I see it, little
meteor, you're just like him,

446
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:05,960
all dark inside and out.

447
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:07,940
And you've got so many holes in you,

448
00:39:07,940 --> 00:39:10,440
just like he has so many tricks and schemes.

449
00:39:11,020 --> 00:39:14,160
Why don't I call you Little Jin?

450
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,100
What do you think?

451
00:39:16,100 --> 00:39:18,250
Little Jin.

452
00:39:18,250 --> 00:39:21,780
Luckily, you won't run away
without saying anything.

453
00:39:23,310 --> 00:39:25,880
[If we are apart for long, ]

454
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,360
[those spikes might shrink back again.]

455
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:33,040
[I wonder how he's doing on the battlefield.]

456
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,820
Tantai Jin said that if
you wanted to talk to him,

457
00:39:36,820 --> 00:39:39,260
you could write a letter
and give it to the crow.

478
00:41:35,410 --> 00:41:38,330
The crow will be exhausted.

479
00:41:39,490 --> 00:41:42,630
The crow did complain about it lately.

480

Little Devil God wouldn't have been
ambushed by Xiao Lin, would he?

512
00:43:50,010 --> 00:43:52,190
The front line ordered me to lead a troop
and leave the capital immediately.

513
00:43:52,190 --> 00:43:55,040
I'm here to tell you
that I'll leave tomorrow morning.

00:43:56,060 --> 00:43:57,793
Wait.

515
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,520
Why do you have to leave all of a sudden?

516
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,620
What happened on the front line?

517
00:44:07,850 --> 00:44:10,520
Do you know you're really a jinx?

518
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:11,910
It's nothing serious.

519
00:44:11,910 --> 00:44:14,010
Tantai Jin is injured. That's all.

520
00:44:15,330 --> 00:44:17,163
Was it bad?

521
00:44:17,163 --> 00:44:20,550
I don't know. He's not dead.

522
00:44:21,190 --> 00:44:23,440
Why are you so worried?

523
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,690
Ye Qingyu is also injured but not seriously.

524
00:44:29,060 --> 00:44:32,350
Tantai Jin and Qingyu both got hurt.

525
00:44:34,870 --> 00:44:36,530
Pian Ran.

526
00:44:36,530 --> 00:44:39,070
Will you take me… No.

527
00:44:39,070 --> 00:44:41,890
Tantai Jin had given strict orders
before he left

528
00:44:41,890 --> 00:44:44,390
that you must not leave the capital.

529
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,980
I'm just going to sneak a peek. I won't let him find out.

530
00:44:47,980 --> 00:44:50,750
I'll come back right away as
soon as I'm sure he's doing fine.

531
00:44:50,750 --> 00:44:53,210
Not a chance.

532
00:44:53,210 --> 00:44:55,080
I won't take responsibility for this.

533
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,750
Besides, if you just
want to know how he is,

534
00:44:57,750 --> 00:45:00,810
whether he's dead or
alive, I'll take a look for you.

535
00:45:00,810 --> 00:45:03,770
Didn't you say you didn't like him before?

536
00:45:03,770 --> 00:45:06,820
Why are you so nervous now?

537
00:45:17,190 --> 00:45:21,830
[Capital of Jing]

538
00:45:41,310 --> 00:45:43,610
[Capital of Jing]

539
00:45:59,970 --> 00:46:02,450
[This wild girl really can't be stopped.]

540
00:46:02,450 --> 00:46:05,100
[I have no choice but to teach you a lesson.]

541
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,360
Listen, you all.

542
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:12,040
March a hundred miles before sunset today.

543
00:46:12,690 --> 00:46:15,640
[A hundred miles?]

544
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:17,120
[I'm so done for.]

545
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,520
[Capital of Jing]
[Li Susu, you're really asking for it.]

546
00:46:45,710 --> 00:46:47,543
Your Highness.

547
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:50,290
I don't want to leave.

548
00:46:50,290 --> 00:46:51,923
Bingchang.

549
00:46:57,830 --> 00:47:00,930
You'll stay with Mother
in the palace for just a couple of days.

550
00:47:00,930 --> 00:47:02,363
I know.

551
00:47:02,363 --> 00:47:05,560
You're worried
that the people of the Sheng won't accept you.

552
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,160
However, Father also sent
his personal guards to escort you,

553
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,510
so there won't be anything wrong.

554
00:47:10,510 --> 00:47:12,310
Besides, it's much safer
to go back to the capital

555
00:47:12,310 --> 00:47:13,720
than to stay at the battlefront.

556
00:47:18,410 --> 00:47:20,760
Jiahui,

557
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,020

I'll not be by your side.

[what will happen to Bingchang?]

[And what will happen to Father?]

582
00:48:43,490 --> 00:48:45,370
Since Side Concubine of Xuancheng
came into the palace,

583
00:48:45,370 --> 00:48:47,240
she has been following the Empress
day after day to pray to Buddha

584
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:48,820
and copying sutras in small script.

585
00:48:48,820 --> 00:48:50,010
She also eats vegetarian food with her.

586
00:48:50,010 --> 00:48:52,350
There isn't any meat in her meal.
What a poor woman.

587
00:48:52,350 --> 00:48:55,040
Why should a servant take pity on his master?

588
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,410
The entire Ye family
betrayed our country so shamelessly.

589
00:48:57,410 --> 00:48:59,810
It's merciful to keep her alive.

590
00:48:59,810 --> 00:49:01,343
She's here.

591
00:49:05,500 --> 00:49:08,450
Are you all right, my lady?

592
00:49:08,450 --> 00:49:10,153
I'm fine.

593
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,810
After we get back, I'll use
hot towels to warm your knees.

594
00:49:14,810 --> 00:49:16,290
There's no need for that.

595
00:49:16,290 --> 00:49:19,480
Our place is still leaking.

596
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,470
I'll go ask them to fix it for us.

597
00:49:22,470 --> 00:49:25,020
Don't bother. No matter how many times we asked,
it didn't work.

598
00:49:25,020 --> 00:49:29,340
In the future, we'll repair the leaking roofs

599
00:49:29,340 --> 00:49:31,890
and torn clothes by ourselves.

600
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,510
As I said before,

601
00:49:36,140 --> 00:49:38,880
power is a powerful tool.

602
00:49:39,870 --> 00:49:43,060
However, I'm just a weak woman.

603
00:49:43,060 --> 00:49:45,230
I can only rely on powerful men.

604
00:49:45,230 --> 00:49:48,020
I thought Xiao Lin was my lifelong support,

605
00:49:48,020 --> 00:49:50,230
but now he won't even answer my letters.

606
00:49:50,230 --> 00:49:51,900
Thank you

607
00:49:51,900 --> 00:49:55,110
for watching out for me
in the palace these days.

608
00:49:55,110 --> 00:49:56,790
I don't understand.

609
00:49:56,790 --> 00:50:00,500
You keep saying
things like this lately, my lady.

610
00:50:00,500 --> 00:50:03,040
I'm a little scared.

611
00:50:05,350 --> 00:50:07,090
It's okay.

612
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,980
I'm here with you.

613
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,233
Let's go.

614
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,473
Be careful.

615
00:50:39,850 --> 00:50:41,383
Your Majesty.

616
00:50:46,770 --> 00:50:50,060
No letter today either.

617
00:50:50,890 --> 00:50:52,940
It has been half a month.

618
00:50:52,940 --> 00:50:55,420
Have you asked the crow why?

619
00:50:59,770 --> 00:51:02,160
You can also speak with birds and animals.

620
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,160
Why don't you ask him yourself, Your Majesty?

621
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,020
This is your family business after all.

622
00:51:10,420 --> 00:51:14,540
Nian Baiyu, you brat. I'll beat you to death.

623
00:51:14,540 --> 00:51:17,500
I don't care if she writes to me or not.

624
00:51:19,410 --> 00:51:21,043
Your Majesty.

625
00:51:27,670 --> 00:51:29,370
All of you must be exhausted today.

626
00:51:29,370 --> 00:51:30,600
Get some rest.

627
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:32,233
- Yes.
- Yes.

628
00:51:53,370 --> 00:51:57,310
I didn't expect you to keep up with us.

629
00:51:59,350 --> 00:52:01,600
You evil fox.

630
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:06,590
You knew I was here all along,
and you watched me suffer every day.

631
00:52:09,720 --> 00:52:12,610
I haven't written to him for many days.

632
00:52:12,610 --> 00:52:15,080
I wonder if he has forgotten about me.

633
00:52:16,810 --> 00:52:19,580
[Luckily, that spike didn't shrink back.]

634
00:52:19,580 --> 00:52:22,600
Rest assured. You're playing hard to get now.

635
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:27,310
As you know, if you cling to men all day, they won't take you seriously.

636
00:52:27,310 --> 00:52:29,770
Being cold toward them occasionally
can be very effective.

637
00:52:29,770 --> 00:52:31,210
Trust me.

638
00:52:34,930 --> 00:52:38,740
