[Episode 28]

4

Sir Lei, please wait a moment.

5

Thank you.

6

Your Highness, Sir Lei Bicheng is here.

7

Greetings, Zheng Guo First Princess.

8

Sir Bicheng.

9

I've been waiting for this day

10

I know that when Your Highness sees through the human heart's darkness,

11

I will become your most powerful asset.

12

You magicians always speak in such mysterious ways.

13

I don't understand it.

14

I, Bai Lingbo, using the power of one woman,

15

have been able to safeguard the capital for 14 years.

16

I only regret that time has been fast passing by.

17

Your Highness, is your biggest wish to restore your past beauty?

18

That wish is not difficult to achieve.

19

Celestial Ministry bewitches people with sorcery.

20

How do you prove that you're not a crazy person talking about absurdities.

21

People see sorcery,

22

but it's a secret technique that is beyond regular people's comprehension.

23

It can reverse time, restore the past,

24

using exactly this kind of secret technique.

25

Your Highness, please believe me this one time.

26

If it is just like what you say, that I'm simply a charlatan illusionist,

27

then I won't be able to step out of the palace alive today.

28

Your Highness.

29

Please close your eyes.

30

Where are we?

31

Your Highness, please.

32

This is the land of arcana.

33

If you have sincerity in your heart, it is never an illusion.

34

Please follow me, Your Highness.

35

I couldn't help but exercised my technique and offended Your Highness's dignified style,

36

please forgive me.

37

- This is the real Bai Lingbo.

- Right now,

38

time has reversed, youth has been restored.

39

With this kind of secret technique,

40

can Celestial Ministry assist Your Highness in ascending to Great Yin's throne?

41

From this day on, the door to Chang Le Palace will always be open for you, Sir.

42

Thank you, Your Highness.

43

Your Highness.

44

No!

45

Your Majesty.

46

Did you have a nightmare? I came by to take a look at you.

47

I came by to see how you are recuperating.

48

With the royal physician and royal teacher's help, I am recovering well.

49

I was incapable and wasn't able to win the tournament for Your Majesty.

50

Why do you say that, Crown Prince?

51

Under those circumstances, you volunteered to fight.

52

I am very touched.

53

It's what I should do.

54

Princess Little Zhou...

55

Why didn't Princess Little Zhou come with you?

56

Your Majesty.

57

Did something happen in the palace?

58

I wasn't going to tell you, Crown Prince.

59

I issued the proclamation to exonerate the Heavenly Samurai,

60

but have been opposed by all of the state lords.

61

They believe that the Heavenly Samurai plotted schemes

62

to overthrow the court. Little Zhou has gone to persuade the lords

63

in the hope that they will change their mind.

64

Your Majesty, the situation at court is still unstable,

65

they are people glaring at your openly and in the dark.

66

This is a very dangerous journey. Princess Little Zhou should not go by herself.

67

Of course I know that.

68

It's all because I am incapable. I can't protect Revelation City,

69

and can't even protect my sister, who is the closest person to me.

70

All the state lords control their own armies. They view me as if I don't exist.

71

Your Majesty, this came about because of the Heavenly Samurai.

72

Therefore, I wish to talk directly with the state lords.

73

You must not.

74

I promised Little Zhou not to let you sink into the mire.

75

Besides, you have a unique identity. They won't easily believe you.

76

Princess Little Zhou can face dangers without fear.

77

Your Majesty stood up to exonerate the Heavenly Samurai.

78

Now that things have come to this point,

79

I shall not retreat in cowardice.

80

All right.

81

Let Royal Teacher take a team of Jiwu Guards to protect your safety.

82

That's not necessary.

83

Royal Teacher and Jiwu Guards are your closest guardians.

84

The court is still turbulent. Your Majesty needs more protection than I do.

85

Ji Ye, is it really your wish to join Thunder Brave Camp?

86

It is my choice.

87

It has nothing to do with you.

88

That day at the royal tournament, if the Lord of Li State hadn't stopped you,

89

would you have killed me?

90

The war between Celestial Ministry and Heavenly Samurai Regiment

91

is finally about to start.

92

Sir, are you waiting for me?

93

I have been waiting for Princess Little Zhou for a while.

94

Sir Ningqing, you call me princess. Aren't you afraid that my aunt will be upset?

95

I know that Aunt is dissatisfied with me.

96

So, are you here on Aunt's order to kill me?

97

Princess, you are too serious.

98

I am blind, weak, and came by myself.

99

I am not ordered by anyone today,

100

just came to see you, Princess Little Zhou.

101

So you have something to talk privately with me?

102

Princess, please note that this pathway leads to Yen Fan Lake.

103

Behind you is Revelation City.

104

I think you have made a mistake and should stop right away

105

to avoid making a greater mistake.

106

So you are here to persuade me to go back?

107

If you choose to go to Yen Fan Lake, you can expect grave dangers.

108

I think Princess Little Zhou belongs to Revelation City.

109

Your body is worth more than 10,000 ingots of gold. Why take the risk?

110

But to me, somethings must be done.

111

Revelation City belongs to my Royal Brother.

112

To me, it's a place that I live as a guest.

113

But I will commit fully to help my brother hold up the empire.

114

So if this is the only reason why you're here, then please go back.

115

I believe that Your Highness will always belong to Revelation City.

116

Take care, Your Highness.

117

Princess Little Zhou!

118

Crown Prince!

119

I just saw Baili Ningqing.

120

Why was he here?

121

Are you alright?

122

I am fine.

123

But why are you here, Crown Prince?

124

How can you go by yourself for such a dangerous undertaking?

125

If something happened to you, what would His Majesty do?

126

You didn't have to come, Crown Prince.

127

Exonerating the Heavenly Samurai was what I suggested to my brother originally.

128

Since it started with me, I should be the one to resolve it.

129

Your Highness really worked hard to exonerate the Heavenly Samurai.

130

I am the Chief Leader of the Heavenly Samurai, i cannot stand by and watch only.

131

You haven't even recovered yet. You should rest.

132

Don't worry, Princess. I have recovered.

133

If we didn't know each other, would you still help me?

134

Yes.

135

It's surprising that we can meet at Revelation City.

136

You are actually quite lucky.

137

It was really dangerous I was lucky..

138

and won right.

139

It didn't go as you and Lord Baili's wish. I've disappointed you.

140

You've held a grudge against me and Lord Baili,

141

and also against Yu Ran and the Crown Prince.

142

Isn't that so?

143

Even to your best friend,

144

you were not reticent at all to strike him to kill.

145

What eternal love? What best friendship?

146

Young people will say things easily. None of it is believable.

147

Nothing else is important when you prefer fame and wealth.

148

But it's all right.

149

The Crown Prince will probably die soon.

150

I actually wish that he would die at your hands.

151

Let's see if you will be tormented by remorse.

152

What did you say?

153

His Majesty's exoneration of the Heavenly Samurai

154

has not only attracted the State Lords' discontent, but also the fanatic revenge by the Celestial Ministry.

155

The Crown Prince is going to face it by himself,

156

do you think he will be able to come back alive?

157

[Chuwei State, Ming Shuo]

158

The imperial decree has arrived sooner than expected.

159

I haven't left Chuwei State for ten-some years.

160

I also haven't seen her all these years.

161

Ten-some years have gone by in the blink of an eye.

162

Whenever something related to Revelation City occurs,

163

you are always reminded of the past.

164

I was only fifteen then. I was ordered by my royal father

165

to go to the enormous Revelation City by myself. First I went to Ji Palace,

166

then to the royal palace.

167

To me, Revelation City is a land of sorrow.

168

Perhaps Little Zhou is my only lingering memory.

169

You take a look at the decree. I ask General to go in my stead.

170

I shall obey.

171

[Lower Tang, South Huai City]

172

For the Yen Fan Lake conference, the Crown Prince is going with Princess Little Zhou.

173

First Princess has had an odd change. Her face looks different and the personality is different.

174

Celestial Ministry appears, Heavenly Samurai stand up, be prepared.

175

My Lord, is the State Preceptor reporting good news or bad news?

176

The Yen Fan Lake meeting is an extraordinary event.

177

General, do you know what's important to Lower Tang?

178

To abide by ancestral decree to eliminate the Heavenly Samurai.

179

It is not only the emperor's wish, but also all the states' wish.

180

But to Lower Tang, the Crown Prince's safety is the most important to us.

181

Take your troops to Yen Fan Lake immediately.

182

Yes.

183

Princess, it's getting late. Why don't we rest here?

184

All right.

185

This is an uncomfortable place. Sorry to put you up here.

186

I am only a princess without an official title.

187

You are a real Crown Princess.

188

If you don't feel bad about it, why should I?

189

May I ask... are you regretting coming to the capital?

190

Everything has become more complicated after I came to the capital.

191

I just feel that it's too difficult to see through the human heart.

192

The human heart is always secretive.

193

You are the simple one.

194

You are not like me.

195

I was born into the battled field for power.

196

You don't have to get involved in it.

197

Princess, you don't appear to be someone who enjoys scheming for power.

198

I really am not a princess.

199

Even though you say you're not,

200

but everyone in the palace calls you princess.

201

Inside the Grand Qing Palace, the emperor is emperor,

202

palace maids are palace maids, and eunuchs are eunuchs.

203

There are also royal descendants who are granted residence in the palace.

204

All of their names are written in the Grand Ancestral Temple.

205

Only my name cannot be found.

206

That's why Aunt has said I am someone with an unclear identity.

207

My mother is Bai Shun, Lord of Chuwei State.

208

I have heard that the Lord of Chuwei is female,

209

but I didn't know she is your mother.

210

But I don't know who my father is.

211

My mother is a niece of a branch of the Bai royal family.

212

She lived in Grand Qing Palace since young.

213

She gave birth to me without having been married.

214

That's why everyone said the late emperor had an affair with her.

215

The late emperor did treat me very well.

216

When I was born, he gave me a little boat made of white gold.

217

That's why everyone calls me Princess Little Zhou.

(Zhou means small boat.)

218

But, that's not my real name.

219

My name is Bai Zhouyue.

- (Zhouyue literally means Boat Moon.)

220

Bai Zhouyue?

221

I've known you for a while now, and I just found out your name.

222

The Late Emperor treated me really well.

223

He not only allowed me to live in the palace,

224

he also bequeathed me Hidden Books Pavilion.

225

But he never acknowledged my identity.

226

So when he passed away,

227

I should have been cleaned up.

228

Cleaned up?

229

The tradition in Grand Qing Palace is that when the emperor passes away,

230

all his old people must be cleaned up.

231

You mean,

232

executed?

233

Go.

234

Go.

235

What was that?

236

Bare-Tooth Army.

237

The Celestial Ministry is the last that would want the exoneration of the Heavenly Samurai.

238

Let's leave quickly! We must hurry on to Yan Fan Lake.

239

- Go!

- Crown Prince!

240

Crown Prince!

241

Crown Prince!

242

Come with me!

243

Perhaps Heaven will save you.

244

The armor is still present!

245

Thank you for saving the crown prince just now.

246

He is my friend.

247

But you, why did you come back despite the danger?

248

He is also my friend.

249

Ji Ye.

250

You're awake.

251

Don't move around.

252

Why did you come?

253

You know that I don't like to owe anyone anything.

254

I'm just repaying my debt.

255

You probably came out here without permission from that Li prefecture princess, right?

256

I'll go back soon.

257

Even though you are still wearing Thunder Calvary's armor, I'm still happy that you could come.

258

It's not bad to wear Thunder Calvary's uniform.

259

If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have any armor to wear.

260

I never got to ask. The road from Lower Tang to the capital is long.

261

How did you make it here?

262

It's just a story of an escaped prisoner.

263

It's just a story of an escaped prisoner.

264

It's nothing to be surprised about.

265

We should be close to Chuwei now. The river in front of us is called Jian River.

266

Following Jian River straight ahead is Chuwei's capital city, Ming Shuo.

267

The water there is clear all year around.

268

Princess, have you ever been to Ming Shuo?

269

I've never been there. Before I met you, I had never stepped out of the palace.

270

Even though I'm familiar with the land in Chuwei,

271

it's all from reading books. I'd like to see it with my own eyes someday.

272

Your mother is still alive. You should go there to visit.

273

Asule, Princess Little Zhou.

274

I don't think they'll want to see me in my armor. So I'll stop here.

275

Farewell!

276

Wait! Ji Ye.

277

You forget, you are also a Heavenly Samurai.

278

That's in the past. I am the Deputy Commander of Thunder Brave Camp, and you are the Chief Leader of Heavenly Samurai Regiment.

279

Go do what a Chief Leader should do!

280

Crown Prince, don't be worried. I think

281

your friend will return someday to fight alongside you.

282

Let's go.

283

The Princess arrives.

284

As everyone has come from afar, I will get right to the point.

285

We are meeting here to discuss the exoneration of the Heavenly Samurai Regiment.

286

Fengyan Emperor already said that

287

letting the Heavenly Samurai into court was wrong.

288

The States' position is already written in the official communique to the emperor.

289

It's useless to keep talking about it.

290

It is precisely because the State Lords are warring year after year that there is turbulence in Eastland.

291

It's allowed Ying Wuyi the opportunity to directly enter Revelation City.

292

Now that the royal family is in peril,

293

what's wrong with letting a righteous force to help us?

294

It's wrong.

295

It's totally wrong.

296

Back then all the states fought against the Heavenly Samurai insurgence, the dead and wounded were many on both sides.

297

This kind of blood debt and hatred is not going to be erased easily.

298

That's right.

299

So many people were killed by the Heavenly Samurai back then, how can we easily forget it?

300

How do we know if the Heavenly Samurai won't turn around to revenge against us?

301

None of the states here would allow such a dangerous force to shake the imperial court's rule.

302

I can guarantee to everyone here that Heavenly Samurai will not avenge against anyone.

303

I am Lu Guichen.

304

As the new Chief Leader of Heavenly Samurai, I swear that

305

Heavenly Samurai Regiment will only restore justice, support benevolence, eliminate evildoing.

306

We will not kill the innocent under the banner of revenge.

307

That's right, this man standing next to me is Lu Guichen, the new Chief Leader of the Heavenly Samurai.

308

I am here to express Heavenly Samurai's sincerity.

309

Through its blood and courage, the Heavenly Samurai Regiment has always protected peace

310

and all people in the world.

311

I hope you will tell your lords when you go back, that

312

the Heavenly Samurai Regiment is not your enemy.

313

We are guardians of justice.

314

We are not the blood-thirsty bandits as rumored.

315

Crown Prince,

316

My Lord asked me to remind you.

317

You are the Crown Prince of Qingyang

318

and also Lower Tang's son-in-law.

319

His Lordship wishes you to return to Lower Tang soon.

320

Everyone, since Heavenly Samurai's Chief Leader is willing to make such a promise,

321

why don't we hear what the emperor is thinking and planning?

322

General Bai, what's the matter?

323

Are you changing side already?

324

Don't forget the lesson taught by history.

325

Back then, it was Heavenly Samurai's Chief Leader who killed the emperor.

326

Tell us, how can we believe him?

327

How can we believe the Heavenly Samurai?

328

- Right.

- That's right.

329

Everyone.

330

All the state lords protect the royal family, and the Heavenly Samurai protect the capital.

331

It's all for continuing Great Yin's dynastic rule for eons.

332

In this era of turmoil, your suspicion and divisiveness is our real enemy.

333

I plead all of you to trust the emperor's choice.

334

Also, trust the Heavenly Samurai.

335

Only by staying united and fighting together

336

will we save Great Yin, the dynasty that belongs to all of us.

337

We can then have real peace and prosperity for the people.

338

Someone is coming.

339

Who are they? How dare they intrude into a royal meeting.

340

They don't look like the Thunder Calvary.

341

Celestial Ministry.

342

We must get through the blockade, or everyone will be killed.

343

Crown Prince, look!

344

Iron Royal.

345

Iron Royal is coming.

346

Sir Iron Royal, why are you here?

347

Chief Leader, more and more of the Bare-Tooth Army is coming in. I doubt that we can last much longer.

348

Protect the princess! Take her and the envoys to the ship!

349

Protect the princess and enjoys to board the ship!

350

Go!

351

- Chief Leader, get on the ship!

- Alright.

352

Heavenly Samurai, get on the ship!

353

Hurry!

354

Set sail!

355

The armor is still present.

356

The armor is still present.

357

The armor is still present.

358

Blood! Blood!

359

What are you crying for?

360

It's not even your own blood on you!

361

Everyone, you have seen the truth that hasn't been witnessed by your own lords.

362

Celestial Ministry returns, darkness descends to all nine continents.

363

No one will be spared in our respective country.

364

Fighting to the death, instead of dying out of cowardice, is our only choice.

365

Can you promise that the Heavenly Samurai won't revenge against the various States?

366

All those Heavenly Samurai fought in a blood bath and died. Is that not enough to convince you?

367

Look at yourselves.

368

Your clothes are all stained with Heavenly Samurai's blood.

369

Without them, you wouldn't be standing here!

370

If Heavenly Samurai Regiment goes back on its word,

371

it's also a betrayal against our dead brothers.

372

Chuwei State accepts Great Yin's Emperor's decree.

373

Chen State accepts the Emperor's decree.

374

- Xiao State accepts.

- Shang State accepts.

- Zheng State accepts.

375

Chuen State accepts the Emperor's decree.

376

Lower Tang accepts the Emperor's decree.
