Please enlighten me.

92
00:07:40,990 --> 00:07:42,460
Jia Pass has natural barriers,

93
00:07:42,460 --> 00:07:44,610
and it's only 20 miles from the Mohe River.

94
00:07:45,190 --> 00:07:47,190
Even if we manage to pass the river,

95
00:07:48,260 --> 00:07:50,580
we can't breach barriers along it.

96
00:07:51,820 --> 00:07:53,780
Before we realize it,

97
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:56,260

98
00:07:56,260 --> 00:07:58,260
and force us back to the river.

99

However, His Majesty has
ordered that we mustn't retreat.

100
00:08:01,750 --> 00:08:05,020
Based on what you said, we can only win

101
00:08:05,020 --> 00:08:07,340
by confronting the pass after passing the river.

102
00:08:07,340 --> 00:08:09,460
How could that be possible?

103
00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:12,550
We have no supplies nor stamina.

104
00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:18,510
Tantai Jin knows that very well.

105
00:08:18,510 --> 00:08:19,580
That's why he returns

106
00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:22,510
without caution.

107
00:08:24,580 --> 00:08:26,700
He retreated to lure us,

108
00:08:27,870 --> 00:08:30,780
expecting us to lose patience and attack.

109
00:08:31,380 --> 00:08:32,870
What should we do then?

110
00:08:35,260 --> 00:08:36,540

111
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:38,733
Option one,

112
00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:42,180
cease fire before it's too late.

113
00:08:43,870 --> 00:08:46,110
That won't do, Your Highness.

114
00:08:46,110 --> 00:08:47,780
His Majesty won't agree.

115
00:08:49,870 --> 00:08:56,870
Option two, wait until the river freezes.

116
00:08:56,870 --> 00:08:57,703
However,

117
00:08:59,380 --> 00:09:01,140
that might take months.

118
00:09:01,140 --> 00:09:03,590
What about option three?

119
00:09:04,380 --> 00:09:05,213
Option three,

120
00:09:07,950 --> 00:09:12,110
we pretend to attack the
river while sending a squad

121
00:09:12,110 --> 00:09:13,660
to find the weak point.

122
00:09:13,660 --> 00:09:17,470
However, this approach requires cooperation.

123
00:09:17,470 --> 00:09:18,990
I can't do it alone.

124
00:09:20,180 --> 00:09:21,013
Your Highness,

125
00:09:21,710 --> 00:09:25,630
accomplished generals in
the court are either persecuted

126
00:09:25,630 --> 00:09:27,660
or have retreated.

127
00:09:27,660 --> 00:09:28,990
Even General Ye…

128
00:09:30,260 --> 00:09:32,780
We have no men.

129
00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:36,900
There's nothing we can do
but to wait for the river to freeze.

130
00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:38,710
However, His Majesty is paranoid.

131
00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:40,110
He won't allow it.

132
00:09:56,020 --> 00:09:57,660

137
00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:39,110
I'll send men to watch their moves.

138
00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:40,860
How about those who have been sent?

139
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:43,710
They've returned, and some of them are injured,

140
00:10:43,710 --> 00:10:44,990
but their life is not in danger.

141
00:10:44,990 --> 00:10:45,823
Good.

142
00:10:46,510 --> 00:10:48,750
Give them handsome rewards
and a promotion of two ranks.

143
00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:49,830
Yes, Your Highness.

144
00:10:49,830 --> 00:10:50,870
You may leave now.

145
00:10:57,710 --> 00:10:59,260
Why do you want me here?

146
00:11:00,230 --> 00:11:01,660
I have no food for you.

147
00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:41,230

148
00:11:42,060 --> 00:11:42,900
A star.

149
00:11:45,780 --> 00:11:47,260
A star?

150
00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:51,780
It fell from the sky and was
collected by a farmer in the north.

[And he remembers.]

156
00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:18,900
Why? You don't like it?

157

Let's celebrate it together.

165
00:13:08,350 --> 00:13:09,183
Sure.

166
00:13:32,110 --> 00:13:34,590
Grandma, I'm full.

167
00:13:34,590 --> 00:13:37,590
Have more. The noodles stand for a long life.

168
00:13:38,420 --> 00:13:39,510
Look at you.

169
00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:42,350
You've lost a lot of weight in the palace.

170
00:13:43,710 --> 00:13:48,300
Chuntao told me that Tantai
Jin stays outside the door.

171
00:13:51,660 --> 00:13:55,990
As far as I can see, he has every reason

172
00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:58,900
to refuse to enter our house.

173
00:14:00,020 --> 00:14:01,230
As I recall,

174
00:14:01,830 --> 00:14:06,260
when he was here, he
had a pretty tough time.

175
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:12,630
Even if Zeyu didn't find fault
with him, me and your father

176
00:14:12,630 --> 00:14:15,140
have never really looked at him with respect.

177
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:21,900
We mistreated him.

178
00:14:22,780 --> 00:14:25,710
[No wonder he happily came with me, ]

179
00:14:25,710 --> 00:14:28,060
[but then refused to come in at the door.]

180
00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:31,310
[It seems that he is reminded
of something unhappy from the past.]

181
00:14:31,870 --> 00:14:32,950
To be honest,

182
00:14:34,110 --> 00:14:38,380
he spares our lives
despite our ill-treatment,

183
00:14:38,900 --> 00:14:43,140
so I'm grateful for that even
though he's an enemy of the Sheng.

184
00:14:44,060 --> 00:14:48,870
Besides, I can tell he
really cares about you.

185
00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:50,900
Xiwu, you should cherish it.

186
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:55,020
As for other aspects, we can
save them for later consideration.

187
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:56,220
There's no need to rush.

188
00:14:58,950 --> 00:15:00,950
You're right, Father.

189
00:15:04,540 --> 00:15:06,420
I'm full. I should go back now.

190
00:15:06,420 --> 00:15:08,630
I have some unfinished business in the palace.

191
00:15:08,630 --> 00:15:09,463
Xiwu.

192
00:15:10,470 --> 00:15:11,303
Xiwu.

193
00:15:14,950 --> 00:15:15,990
[Ye Mansion]

194
00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:38,870
Tantai Jin.

195
00:15:42,110 --> 00:15:42,943
What happened?

196
00:15:43,990 --> 00:15:45,340
Why do you return so early?

197
00:15:49,060 --> 00:15:51,900
You had a tough time here.

198
00:15:51,900 --> 00:15:53,850
It's so foolish of me to take you back.

199
00:15:54,590 --> 00:15:57,300
I only thought you'd feel lonely in the palace.

200
00:15:57,300 --> 00:15:59,020
The trip is meant to cheer you up.

201
00:15:59,660 --> 00:16:01,710
Yet, you end up waiting for me here.

202
00:16:03,510 --> 00:16:04,420
I…

203
00:16:06,180 --> 00:16:07,013
It's okay.

204
00:16:07,780 --> 00:16:09,350
Did you enjoy your birthday?

205
00:16:12,380 --> 00:16:13,470
That's enough.

206
00:16:15,990 --> 00:16:19,470
Although I didn't
visit your family, still,

207
00:16:19,470 --> 00:16:22,230
I'm happy you take me with you.

208
00:16:27,660 --> 00:16:31,230
Since we have come,
let me show you a place.

209
00:16:32,450 --> 00:16:34,420
[Lingxing Hall]

210
00:16:34,420 --> 00:16:36,870
[Lingxing Hall]
You mentioned your old home.

211
00:16:37,710 --> 00:16:40,830
This is the place
I desired most when I was young.

212
00:16:42,990 --> 00:16:44,110
[Auntie Lan'an.]

213
00:16:44,110 --> 00:16:45,950
[Do you know where Lingxing Hall is?]

214
00:16:45,950 --> 00:16:47,540
[Is it far from here?]

215
00:16:47,540 --> 00:16:48,470
Lingxing Hall?

216
00:16:49,020 --> 00:16:52,300
They said Concubine Rou is buried there.

217
00:16:52,300 --> 00:16:53,990
She's my mom.

218
00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:55,350
I want to take a look.

219
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:57,630
Can we reach there in one or two days?

220
00:17:00,300 --> 00:17:01,630
Well, Lingxing Hall

221
00:17:02,420 --> 00:17:04,100
is right beside the city gate.

222
00:17:04,100 --> 00:17:05,100
It's quite close.

223
00:17:05,620 --> 00:17:07,340
Only an hour's walk.

224
00:17:08,020 --> 00:17:10,060
However, it's an imperial graveyard.

225
00:17:10,060 --> 00:17:11,540
It's not for you to come.

226
00:17:12,060 --> 00:17:12,893
Understand?

227
00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:20,150
This one hour's walk

228
00:17:20,950 --> 00:17:26,540
is so long that I didn't
finish until I took the throne.

229
00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:39,400
[Sun Huiran, Concubine Yun, Yue Ruanruan, Concubine Rou
Meng Jingshu, Concubine Lan]

230
00:17:54,130 --> 00:18:01,070
[Sun Huiran, Concubine Yun, Yue Ruanruan, Concubine Rou
Meng Jingshu, Concubine Lan]

231
00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:10,110
[Sun Huiran, Concubine Yun, Yue Ruanruan, Concubine Rou
Meng Jingshu, Concubine Lan]

232
00:18:15,340 --> 00:18:16,173
Mother.

233
00:18:16,990 --> 00:18:18,150
She's Ye Xiwu.

234
00:18:20,750 --> 00:18:21,860
I'm his wife.

235
00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:31,340
If you saw her for
yourself, you'd love her.

236
00:18:32,780 --> 00:18:35,020
Tantai Jin is now the Emperor of the Jing.

237
00:18:35,020 --> 00:18:37,300
He's doing pretty well. You can rest assured.

238
00:18:37,300 --> 00:18:39,620
I'll come and see you when I have time.

239
00:18:42,340 --> 00:18:44,190
This is my line.

240
00:18:54,230 --> 00:18:55,063
Come.

241
00:19:01,060 --> 00:19:02,410
I give you this opportunity

242
00:19:04,190 --> 00:19:09,580
to pick a place you like and
decide where you want to be buried.

243
00:19:13,230 --> 00:19:14,780
Stop patronizing me.

244
00:19:14,780 --> 00:19:17,330
I never said
I'd spend the rest of my life with you.

245
00:19:21,430 --> 00:19:23,780
Answer me, Ye Xiwu.

246
00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:25,980
Do you have feelings for me?

247
00:19:31,710 --> 00:19:33,190
One day together, deep love forever.

248
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:34,640
Of course, you're my husband.

249
00:19:35,620 --> 00:19:38,670
No, I don't mean the marital duty.

250
00:19:38,670 --> 00:19:40,670
I want your true love.

251
00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:45,180
[Little Devil God.]

252
00:19:45,780 --> 00:19:48,750
[This is the only thing I can't give.]

253
00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:54,620
It's fine. I understand.

254
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:59,100
True love doesn't come easily.

255
00:19:59,750 --> 00:20:00,950
There's no need to rush.

256
00:20:06,190 --> 00:20:09,300
I heard your mother also passed
when you were young.

257
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:12,150
If you want to commemorate her,

258
00:20:12,150 --> 00:20:14,340
I can set up a spirit tablet here for her.

259
00:20:18,230 --> 00:20:20,540
Don't bother.

260
00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:22,710
She passed away a very long time ago.

261
00:20:22,710 --> 00:20:23,580
Are you sure?

262
00:20:24,510 --> 00:20:28,100
You used to cry every time
you went to pay respects before.

263
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:28,933
Remember?

264
00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:31,860
A bit late to restore decency, don't you think?

265
00:20:33,950 --> 00:20:37,990
[Sorry, I'm not Ye Xiwu.]

266
00:20:39,060 --> 00:20:40,060
[I'm lying.]

267
00:20:53,910 --> 00:20:56,620
[Why does he want my affection?]

268
00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:01,100
[Is he ]

269
00:21:03,150 --> 00:21:04,620
[in love with me?]

270
00:21:12,390 --> 00:21:14,090
[The spikes accumulate so slowly.]

271
00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:17,190
[I suppose he doesn't understand love yet.]

272
00:21:18,340 --> 00:21:19,910
[Until when]

273
00:21:19,910 --> 00:21:21,860
[will I collect all of them?]

274
00:21:23,510 --> 00:21:25,100
[Ji Ze said after his fall, ]

275
00:21:25,100 --> 00:21:27,250
[Barren Abyss Barrier lasts only 300 days.]

276
00:21:27,990 --> 00:21:29,510
[I should move faster.]

277
00:21:35,990 --> 00:21:38,580
[It hurts by one single poke, ]

278
00:21:44,430 --> 00:21:48,540
[while nine will pierce his heart.]

279
00:22:02,750 --> 00:22:03,710
Your Majesty.

280
00:22:03,710 --> 00:22:05,560
This is the information we intercept.

281
00:22:08,620 --> 00:22:13,430
How dare Lin harbor such a
thought when I give him the control.

282
00:22:15,860 --> 00:22:16,710
Calm down, Your Majesty.

283
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:17,750
How can I calm down?

284
00:22:18,340 --> 00:22:20,670
Haven't you heard the rumor in the city?

285
00:22:20,670 --> 00:22:24,300
They said Prince Xuancheng
disapproved of my decision to start a war.

286
00:22:24,300 --> 00:22:26,990
He thinks I abuse force
at the cost of people.

287
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:30,950
A rumor is a rumor.

288
00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:32,230
I've urged him many times.

289
00:22:32,230 --> 00:22:34,020
Have you ever seen him deploy his troops?

290
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:36,580
I suppose everyone in
the court is expecting me

291
00:22:36,580 --> 00:22:38,340
to hand him the throne.

292
00:22:39,710 --> 00:22:40,950
Your Majesty.

293
00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:43,780
Prince Xuancheng is loyal to you.

294
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:46,780
There must be a reason
why he doesn't deploy troops.

295
00:22:46,780 --> 00:22:48,780
Maybe you think too much.

296
00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:51,751
I didn't mean it.

297
00:22:51,751 --> 00:22:54,150
I suppose you're one of them.

298
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:58,510
Guards, drag him out
and club him to death.

299
00:22:58,510 --> 00:22:59,540
- Yes.
- Yes.

300
00:22:59,540 --> 00:23:01,750
Please spare me, Your Majesty.

301
00:23:01,750 --> 00:23:02,583
Your Majesty.

302
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:04,540
Please spare me.

303
00:23:04,540 --> 00:23:05,540
Your Majesty.

304
00:23:14,910 --> 00:23:15,743
Report.

305
00:23:16,540 --> 00:23:18,590
Your Highness. An order from the capital.

306
00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:33,210
What is it, Your Highness?

307
00:23:45,580 --> 00:23:48,260
His Majesty demands us
to march north in three days.

308
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:50,300
What should we do?

309
00:23:50,300 --> 00:23:52,780
If we do this, the
casualties will be grave.

310
00:23:54,390 --> 00:23:56,910
What do you think, Your Highness?

311
00:24:09,190 --> 00:24:10,950
Follow the order, of course.

312
00:24:12,390 --> 00:24:13,150
Your Highness.

313
00:24:13,150 --> 00:24:15,300
There's something I must say.

314
00:24:15,300 --> 00:24:17,340
A general does what needs to be done.

315
00:24:17,340 --> 00:24:19,910
As you said earlier,
as long as we stay put,

316
00:24:19,910 --> 00:24:21,580
we can hold the Mohe River.

317
00:24:21,580 --> 00:24:25,060
If we attack recklessly,
we're almost sure to fall.

318
00:24:32,670 --> 00:24:36,030
I'm a subject of the Sheng
and the son of Emperor Sheng.

319
00:24:37,340 --> 00:24:39,040
I can't disobey my father's order.

320
00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:42,820
I shall lead the soldiers

321
00:24:44,670 --> 00:24:46,260
and make a final attempt.

322
00:24:48,060 --> 00:24:49,190
This battle is going to be tough.

323
00:24:49,190 --> 00:24:50,023
Yes.

324
00:24:52,100 --> 00:24:53,340
What should we do?

325
00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:03,390
Your Majesty, Xiao Lin has passed the river

326
00:25:03,390 --> 00:25:04,840
and landed on the north bank.

327
00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:17,230
As I expected, Emperor Sheng takes the bait.

328
00:25:18,100 --> 00:25:22,860
Qingyu, I promised you to
unite the country and end the war.

329
00:25:23,910 --> 00:25:24,820
The time has come.

330
00:25:26,510 --> 00:25:26,991
Qingyu.

331
00:25:26,991 --> 00:25:29,150
Follow me. Let's ride to Jia Pass.

332
00:25:29,150 --> 00:25:29,983
Yes.

333
00:25:58,340 --> 00:25:59,860
Where is Tantai Jin?

334
00:26:00,860 --> 00:26:02,340
He left for the battlefield.

335
00:26:03,430 --> 00:26:04,390
Not long ago.

336
00:26:05,020 --> 00:26:08,580
They said Xiao Lin
swooped on the Mohe River last night.

337
00:26:09,820 --> 00:26:10,990
Xiao Lin.

338
00:26:13,020 --> 00:26:14,860
Why didn't he take you?

339
00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:17,260
What an innocent girl.

340
00:26:17,260 --> 00:26:20,150
With so many great generals in the Jing,

341
00:26:20,150 --> 00:26:22,620
including your own brother in the front,

342
00:26:22,620 --> 00:26:24,150
why would he ever think of me?

343
00:26:56,300 --> 00:26:57,430
Your Highness.

344
00:26:57,430 --> 00:26:59,860
The enemy at Jia Pass didn't
expect us to cross the river so quickly.

345
00:26:59,860 --> 00:27:02,580
We can break
through this pass in less than half a day.

346
00:27:02,580 --> 00:27:03,860
It would cost too many lives.

347
00:27:03,860 --> 00:27:07,580
If we can't take Jia Pass today,
we'll lose nearly half of our men.

348
00:27:07,580 --> 00:27:09,020
We'll succeed.

349
00:27:09,020 --> 00:27:10,780
There are only
a few thousand troops here in Jia Pass.

350
00:27:10,780 --> 00:27:13,190
We almost broke
right through here following them.

351
00:27:13,190 --> 00:27:14,260
They won't last long.

352
00:27:16,950 --> 00:27:18,300
Never underestimate your enemy.

353
00:27:18,300 --> 00:27:20,470
We lost our men to cross the Mohe River.

354
00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:23,100
We fought so hard for days
before seeing a glimmer of hope.

355
00:27:23,100 --> 00:27:24,950
If we can't take Jia Pass by force today,

356
00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:26,650
then we crossed the river in vain.

357
00:27:44,860 --> 00:27:45,950
Everyone.

358
00:27:45,950 --> 00:27:47,300
Return to the city at once.

359
00:27:49,690 --> 00:27:51,910
[Jia Pass]

360
00:27:56,670 --> 00:27:58,580
Tantai Jin is already here.

361
00:27:58,580 --> 00:28:00,080
He came faster than I thought.

362
00:28:05,580 --> 00:28:06,540
Your Majesty.

363
00:28:06,540 --> 00:28:08,470
Shall we send the Moonshadow Guards
to flank them from the outside?

364
00:28:08,470 --> 00:28:09,860
We could eliminate them once and for all.

365
00:28:09,860 --> 00:28:10,750
There's no need.

366
00:28:12,580 --> 00:28:15,750
Today, I'll hold Xiao Lin captive
by myself on the battlefield

367
00:28:15,750 --> 00:28:17,650
and destroy the Sheng's will to fight.

368
00:29:08,470 --> 00:29:10,430
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.

369
00:29:10,430 --> 00:29:11,580
Your Highness.

370
00:29:11,580 --> 00:29:12,413
Your Highness.

371
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:15,670
He's the Emperor of the Jing.

372
00:29:15,670 --> 00:29:16,910
He can do witchcraft.

373
00:29:16,910 --> 00:29:19,750
I heard that he could drive demon beasts.

374
00:29:19,750 --> 00:29:22,540
It was his Firewing Army that
breached General Ye's defenses

375
00:29:22,540 --> 00:29:24,620
and defeated him in less than half a month.

376
00:29:24,620 --> 00:29:26,820
He was a hostage prince in the Sheng.

377
00:29:26,820 --> 00:29:28,470
His Majesty didn't treat him well.

378
00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:30,470
He's not going to get back at us, is he?

379
00:29:32,780 --> 00:29:35,780
Xiao Lin, we could talk.

380
00:30:03,150 --> 00:30:04,060
Don't go there.

381
00:30:04,060 --> 00:30:04,893
It's okay.

382
00:30:25,860 --> 00:30:26,710
Xiao Lin.

383
00:30:27,710 --> 00:30:30,230
Now you have all the prestige of the Sheng.

384
00:30:30,230 --> 00:30:35,670
If you would submit to me, I don't
mind sharing the world with you.

385
00:30:37,750 --> 00:30:39,020
Likewise.

386
00:30:39,020 --> 00:30:40,910
If you're willing to withdraw your troops

387
00:30:40,910 --> 00:30:44,670
and submit yourself to the Sheng,
I'm also willing to tell my father

388
00:30:44,670 --> 00:30:46,230
and make you a lord.

389
00:30:51,100 --> 00:30:52,860
You really don't care about the lives

390
00:30:52,860 --> 00:30:54,810
of the Sheng's soldiers, Your Highness.

391
00:30:56,340 --> 00:31:00,620
Your army has suffered heavy losses
at the Mohe River and Jia Pass.

392
00:31:02,020 --> 00:31:05,710
You knew that your odds
of winning this battle were slim,

393
00:31:05,710 --> 00:31:08,510
but you couldn't go
against your emperor's orders,

394
00:31:08,510 --> 00:31:11,510
so you decided to take the plunge.

395
00:31:12,990 --> 00:31:13,823
Am I right?

396
00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:19,670
What a pity.

397
00:31:19,670 --> 00:31:22,230
Had I been here a few hours later,

398
00:31:22,230 --> 00:31:24,480
perhaps you really could have taken Jia Pass.

399
00:31:25,020 --> 00:31:28,910
However, as smart as you should know,

400
00:31:28,910 --> 00:31:32,670
even if you managed to
retreat today, the Sheng

401
00:31:33,260 --> 00:31:36,470
will only last for a few more days.

402
00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:37,820
The Sheng has not come to an end yet.

403
00:31:37,820 --> 00:31:39,020
Don't you try to mislead people here.

404
00:31:39,020 --> 00:31:39,990
Xiao Lin.

405
00:31:43,710 --> 00:31:47,300
A great man should go with the flow,

406
00:31:48,150 --> 00:31:50,780
not fight it pointlessly.

407
00:32:05,260 --> 00:32:06,093
Looks like

408
00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:10,710
there's no deal.

409
00:33:02,540 --> 00:33:06,540
Xiao Lin, you knew perfectly
well that you couldn't win.

410
00:33:54,390 --> 00:33:55,990
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.

411
00:34:05,190 --> 00:34:06,300
Heart-guarding Scale.

412
00:34:07,260 --> 00:34:08,700
What a treasure.

413
00:34:36,020 --> 00:34:38,350
Jia Pass is such an ideal place
to draw lightning.

414
00:34:38,350 --> 00:34:40,470
Look how much thunderbolt and lightning

415
00:34:40,470 --> 00:34:41,700
just one Lightning Charm can draw.

416
00:34:41,700 --> 00:34:43,430
It's a pity that you reacted too fast,
Your Majesty.

417
00:34:43,430 --> 00:34:45,740
Otherwise, you could personally taste

418
00:34:45,740 --> 00:34:47,790
what it's like to be struck by lightning.

419
00:34:50,870 --> 00:34:53,390
We missed our timing. There's no need to fight.

420
00:34:53,390 --> 00:34:54,990
Let's call it quits and retreat.

421
00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:07,933
Your Majesty.

422
00:35:10,430 --> 00:35:11,870
Let them go.

423
00:35:11,870 --> 00:35:14,270
Why, Your Majesty?

424
00:35:19,310 --> 00:35:20,870
He's a smart man.

425
00:35:20,870 --> 00:35:23,890
This war was first
started by Emperor Sheng.

426
00:35:24,580 --> 00:35:26,540
It's a war with no just cause.

427
00:35:26,540 --> 00:35:30,220
The forced attack on Jia
Pass was just his last attempt.

428
00:35:30,870 --> 00:35:34,310
He knew he couldn't win.

429
00:35:39,180 --> 00:35:41,310
[Only when I reunite all the lands]

430
00:35:41,310 --> 00:35:43,180
[will the war truly end]

431
00:35:54,580 --> 00:35:55,310
Useless!

432
00:35:55,310 --> 00:35:56,870
You are all useless.

433
00:35:57,700 --> 00:35:59,910
Tantai Jin is almost here.

434
00:35:59,910 --> 00:36:02,390
Go back and tell Xiao Lin that
if he can't hold Boshan City,

435
00:36:02,390 --> 00:36:03,510
he doesn't have to come back.

436
00:36:03,510 --> 00:36:05,790
Also, send an edict
to Side Concubine of Xuancheng.

437
00:36:05,790 --> 00:36:08,540
Tell her to come to the palace at
once and stay at the Empress's side.

438
00:36:15,740 --> 00:36:16,700
Your Highness.

439
00:36:16,700 --> 00:36:18,700
Why did you get hurt so badly this time?

440
00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:25,350
Tantai Jin was on the battlefield himself.

441
00:36:26,430 --> 00:36:27,580
Tantai Jin?

442
00:36:29,830 --> 00:36:32,740
His troops will soon reach here.

443
00:36:33,870 --> 00:36:35,140
If we lost Boshan City,

444
00:36:35,790 --> 00:36:37,950
the Sheng will have
no more strongholds to defend.

445
00:36:37,950 --> 00:36:40,510
However, judging from our current situation,

446
00:36:40,510 --> 00:36:41,810
there's nothing we can do.

447
00:36:43,510 --> 00:36:44,580
Your Highness.

448
00:36:44,580 --> 00:36:46,280
A country's fate is unpredictable.

449
00:36:47,140 --> 00:36:50,740
The current situation is not
something you can control alone.

450
00:36:54,310 --> 00:36:56,870
Bingchang, I'm a son of the Xiao family.

451
00:36:58,740 --> 00:37:00,180
My father may be unkind,

452
00:37:01,060 --> 00:37:02,470
but I can't be unfilial.

453
00:37:04,310 --> 00:37:06,990
The current war situation is not good for us.

454
00:37:06,990 --> 00:37:08,990
If I die on the battlefield one day…

455
00:37:08,990 --> 00:37:11,910
Your Highness,
please don't say something like that.

456
00:37:18,790 --> 00:37:21,590
Death is always a hair's breadth
away on the battlefield.

457
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:23,990
I should have told you this earlier.

458
00:37:26,510 --> 00:37:27,343
Bingchang.

459
00:37:28,700 --> 00:37:30,220
If I die in the future,

460
00:37:31,830 --> 00:37:34,540
I hope you won't have to remain a widow for me.

461
00:37:34,540 --> 00:37:36,430
If you find someone reliable

462
00:37:37,020 --> 00:37:38,470
who happens to win your heart

463
00:37:39,510 --> 00:37:42,510
and can take care of you
for the rest of your life,

464
00:37:42,510 --> 00:37:44,260
it's not a bad idea to marry again.

465
00:37:48,870 --> 00:37:49,703
No.

466
00:37:51,830 --> 00:37:53,310
If that day comes,

467
00:37:55,270 --> 00:37:57,060
I'll die alongside you.

468
00:38:02,430 --> 00:38:03,910
Didn't you say that

469
00:38:05,390 --> 00:38:09,100
no matter how good or bad
it is, you'll bear it with me?

470
00:38:14,510 --> 00:38:15,910
I shouldn't have scared you.

471
00:38:17,060 --> 00:38:19,510
It's okay. Don't cry now.

472
00:38:20,470 --> 00:38:21,740
I'm fine right here.

473
00:38:26,620 --> 00:38:27,540
Don't worry.

474
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:32,470
No matter what happens, I'll keep you safe.

475
00:38:34,470 --> 00:38:37,870
[However, if you can't even save yourself, ]

476
00:38:38,390 --> 00:38:40,100
[how can you save me?]

477
00:38:46,100 --> 00:38:48,740
It took me so hard to collect a few spikes

478
00:38:48,740 --> 00:38:50,740
and now, Little Devil God ran away.

479
00:38:50,740 --> 00:38:51,830
What should I do now?

480
00:38:58,220 --> 00:39:03,100
The way I see it, little
meteor, you're just like him,

481
00:39:03,100 --> 00:39:04,660
all dark inside and out.

482
00:39:05,540 --> 00:39:07,540
And you've got so many holes in you,

483
00:39:07,540 --> 00:39:09,740
just like he has so many tricks and schemes.

484
00:39:10,620 --> 00:39:13,060
Why don't I call you Little Jin?

485
00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:14,600
What do you think?

486
00:39:15,740 --> 00:39:16,950
Little Jin.

487
00:39:17,830 --> 00:39:20,380
Luckily, you won't run away
without saying anything.

488
00:39:22,910 --> 00:39:24,580
[If we are apart for long, ]

489
00:39:25,430 --> 00:39:27,660
[those spikes might shrink back again.]

490
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:31,740
[I wonder how he's doing on the battlefield.]

491
00:39:32,660 --> 00:39:36,220
Tantai Jin said that if
you wanted to talk to him,

492
00:39:36,220 --> 00:39:38,760
you could write a letter
and give it to the crow.

00:41:35,060 --> 00:41:36,830

00:41:38,990 --> 00:41:41,430

00:43:02,140 --> 00:43:03,840

541
00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:10,830

543
00:43:16,610 --> 00:43:19,960

545
00:43:30,180 --> 00:43:32,660
Not only did he leave without telling me,

546
00:43:33,310 --> 00:43:35,410
but he also doesn't answer my letters now.

547
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:41,990
Xiao Lin was always good at leading his troops.

548
00:43:41,990 --> 00:43:45,470
Little Devil God wouldn't have been
ambushed by Xiao Lin, would he?

549
00:43:49,510 --> 00:43:51,790
The front line ordered me to lead a troop
and leave the capital immediately.

550
00:43:51,790 --> 00:43:54,440
I'm here to tell you
that I'll leave tomorrow morning.

551
00:43:55,660 --> 00:43:56,493
Wait.

552
00:44:02,020 --> 00:44:04,020
Why do you have to leave all of a sudden?

553
00:44:04,020 --> 00:44:05,620
What happened on the front line?

554
00:44:07,350 --> 00:44:10,020
Do you know you're really a jinx?

555
00:44:10,020 --> 00:44:11,510
It's nothing serious.

556
00:44:11,510 --> 00:44:13,210
Tantai Jin is injured. That's all.

557
00:44:14,830 --> 00:44:15,663
Was it bad?

558
00:44:16,700 --> 00:44:18,950
I don't know. He's not dead.

559
00:44:20,790 --> 00:44:22,140
Why are you so worried?

560
00:44:22,990 --> 00:44:25,390
Ye Qingyu is also injured but not seriously.

561
00:44:28,660 --> 00:44:30,950
Tantai Jin and Qingyu both got hurt.

562
00:44:34,470 --> 00:44:35,430
Pian Ran.

563
00:44:36,100 --> 00:44:37,870
Will you take me… No.

564
00:44:38,660 --> 00:44:41,390
Tantai Jin had given strict orders
before he left

565
00:44:41,390 --> 00:44:43,190
that you must not leave the capital.

566
00:44:44,740 --> 00:44:46,180
I'm just going to sneak a peek.

567
00:44:46,180 --> 00:44:47,540
I won't let him find out.

568
00:44:47,540 --> 00:44:50,350
I'll come back right away as
soon as I'm sure he's doing fine.

569
00:44:50,350 --> 00:44:51,910
Not a chance.

570
00:44:52,700 --> 00:44:54,580
I won't take responsibility for this.

571
00:44:54,580 --> 00:44:57,350
Besides, if you just
want to know how he is,

572
00:44:57,350 --> 00:45:00,310
whether he's dead or
alive, I'll take a look for you.

573
00:45:00,310 --> 00:45:03,270
Didn't you say you didn't like him before?

574
00:45:03,270 --> 00:45:05,620
Why are you so nervous now?

575
00:45:16,690 --> 00:45:21,430
[Capital of Jing]

576
00:45:40,810 --> 00:45:43,310
[Capital of Jing]

577
00:45:59,470 --> 00:46:01,950
[This wild girl really can't be stopped.]

578
00:46:01,950 --> 00:46:04,200
[I have no choice but to teach you a lesson.]

579
00:46:05,700 --> 00:46:07,060
Listen, you all.

580
00:46:07,740 --> 00:46:10,740
March a hundred miles before sunset today.

581
00:46:12,390 --> 00:46:14,140
[A hundred miles?]

582
00:46:15,350 --> 00:46:16,620
[I'm so done for.]

583
00:46:16,620 --> 00:46:19,420

585
00:46:48,220 --> 00:46:49,790
I don't want to leave.

586
00:46:49,790 --> 00:46:50,623
Bingchang.

587
00:46:57,430 --> 00:47:00,430
You'll stay with Mother
in the palace for just a couple of days.

588
00:47:00,430 --> 00:47:01,263
I know.

589
00:47:01,910 --> 00:47:05,060
You're worried
that the people of the Sheng won't accept you.

590
00:47:05,060 --> 00:47:07,660
However, Father also sent
his personal guards to escort you,

591
00:47:07,660 --> 00:47:09,310
so there won't be anything wrong.

592
00:47:10,060 --> 00:47:11,910
Besides, it's much safer
to go back to the capital

593
00:47:11,910 --> 00:47:13,510
than to stay at the battlefront.

594
00:47:18,910 --> 00:47:19,743

Since Side Concubine of Xuancheng
came into the palace,

621
00:48:44,870 --> 00:48:46,740
she has been following the Empress
day after day to pray to Buddha

622
00:48:46,740 --> 00:48:48,220
and copying sutras in small script.

623
00:48:48,220 --> 00:48:49,510
She also eats vegetarian food with her.

624
00:48:49,510 --> 00:48:51,950
There isn't any meat in her meal.
What a poor woman.

625
00:48:51,950 --> 00:48:54,540
Why should a servant take pity on his master?

626
00:48:54,540 --> 00:48:56,910
The entire Ye family
betrayed our country so shamelessly.

627
00:48:56,910 --> 00:48:59,310
It's merciful to keep her alive.

628
00:48:59,310 --> 00:49:00,143
She's here.

629
00:49:05,100 --> 00:49:06,950
Are you all right, my lady?

630
00:49:08,020 --> 00:49:08,853
I'm fine.

631
00:49:11,180 --> 00:49:14,310
After we get back, I'll use
hot towels to warm your knees.

632
00:49:14,310 --> 00:49:15,790
There's no need for that.

633
00:49:15,790 --> 00:49:17,580
Our place is still leaking.

634
00:49:19,060 --> 00:49:20,870
I'll go ask them to fix it for us.

635
00:49:22,060 --> 00:49:24,620
Don't bother. No matter how many times we asked,
it didn't work.

636
00:49:24,620 --> 00:49:25,740
In the future,

637
00:49:26,510 --> 00:49:28,010
we'll repair the leaking roofs

638
00:49:28,870 --> 00:49:30,390
and torn clothes by ourselves.

639
00:49:32,660 --> 00:49:33,910
As I said before,

640
00:49:35,740 --> 00:49:37,580
power is a powerful tool.

641
00:49:39,470 --> 00:49:41,060
However, I'm just a weak woman.

642
00:49:42,580 --> 00:49:44,830
I can only rely on powerful men.

643
00:49:44,830 --> 00:49:47,620
I thought Xiao Lin was my lifelong support,

644
00:49:47,620 --> 00:49:49,830
but now he won't even answer my letters.

645
00:49:49,830 --> 00:49:50,700
Thank you

646
00:49:51,510 --> 00:49:53,910
for watching out for me
in the palace these days.

647
00:49:54,660 --> 00:49:56,390
I don't understand.

648
00:49:56,390 --> 00:50:00,100
You keep saying
things like this lately, my lady.

649
00:50:00,100 --> 00:50:01,740
I'm a little scared.

650
00:50:04,950 --> 00:50:05,790
It's okay.

651
00:50:08,580 --> 00:50:09,480
I'm here with you.

652
00:50:12,100 --> 00:50:12,933
Let's go.

653
00:50:15,140 --> 00:50:15,973
Be careful.

654
00:50:39,350 --> 00:50:40,183
Your Majesty.

655
00:50:46,270 --> 00:50:48,660
No letter today either.

656
00:50:50,390 --> 00:50:51,640
It has been half a month.

657
00:50:52,470 --> 00:50:54,020
Have you asked the crow why?

658
00:50:59,270 --> 00:51:01,660
You can also speak with birds and animals.

659
00:51:01,660 --> 00:51:03,660
Why don't you ask him yourself, Your Majesty?

660
00:51:03,660 --> 00:51:06,620
This is your family business after all.

661
00:51:10,020 --> 00:51:12,540
Nian Baiyu, you brat. I'll beat you to death.

662
00:51:14,020 --> 00:51:16,100
I don't care if she writes to me or not.

663
00:51:18,910 --> 00:51:19,743
Your Majesty.

664
00:51:27,270 --> 00:51:28,870
All of you must be exhausted today.

665
00:51:28,870 --> 00:51:30,100
Get some rest.

666
00:51:30,100 --> 00:51:30,933
- Yes.
- Yes.

667
00:51:52,870 --> 00:51:55,910
I didn't expect you to keep up with us.

668
00:51:58,950 --> 00:52:01,100
You evil fox.

669
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:04,990
You knew I was here all along,
and you watched me suffer every day.

670
00:52:09,220 --> 00:52:11,510
I haven't written to him for many days.

671
00:52:12,180 --> 00:52:14,080
I wonder if he has forgotten about me.

672
00:52:16,310 --> 00:52:19,180
[Luckily, that spike didn't shrink back.]

673
00:52:19,180 --> 00:52:22,100
Rest assured. You're playing hard to get now.

674
00:52:22,100 --> 00:52:25,310
As you know, if you cling to men all day,

675
00:52:25,310 --> 00:52:26,790
they won't take you seriously.

676
00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:29,270
Being cold toward them occasionally
can be very effective.

677
00:52:29,270 --> 00:52:30,310
Trust me.

678
00:52:34,430 --> 00:52:37,540
His Majesty lives there.
