What are you waiting for?

Pull me up.

Your name is on the list?

The bottom of the list.

Xu Changping.

I, Zhang Shaoyun, am grateful.

I will reward you a lot.

What are you waiting for? Go.

Go...

Here.

Zhang buys the horse.

4 Guan.

Here.

Ten silver. One, four, five.

Redrabbit, 10 steps forward.

Come... Quickly...

Come...

It's your turn.

Let me tell you.

He always pulls me a long face.

He doesn't let me call him brother-in-law.

I know I've offended him twice.

Am I right?

In the prison and the exam hall.

Li, one, one, two.

Don't mention it.

So I think I should handle this first.

After I handle this, I can call him a brother in law, right?

Yes.

Wild Goose, three, three, three.

9 steps forward.

Open...

Go in.

The horse is in there.

Sir.

Sir.

Go away.

I am having a good luck now.

Sir.

My horses are better.

Hurry.

Settled.

Great.

So great.

Something bad.

The police.

Police?

You call them here?

No, I don't know.

Forget the horses.

Go.

Why are you running? My IOU.

Well, what's going on?

We got the horses and him.

Go get the horses.

The suspect.

Here is within the jurisdiction of Jingjidao.

How dare you!

Maid Gu.

They are from Donggong palace.

The one who fails the country.

Acceleration, dash.

Loop and stop.

I trained it for only three days.

The horse should be on the battlefield.

Why it's here?

Chancellor.

Please tell me why.

I was wondering, I am trying to ask you.

We have fierce wars on the front line.

But we have the smuggling here.

The people living on the frontiers refuse to give us the good horses

because they complain about the official tea's poor quality.

Official tea?

An Pingbo sacrificed all to protect the country.

Shut up.

They smuggle official tea.

So we lack horses.

They smuggle Fan horses.

We still lack horses.

Wu Dehou was defeated.

So An Pingbo should sacrifice himself?

I have said, shut up.

Do you have evidence?

You recognize this, right? Chancellor.

I told the official's son Zhang to have a try after I saw this.

I didn't expect it's true.

I think the imperial guards have arrested the smugglers.

I think we should find out the instigator behind them.

Your Majesty

I have something to say.

Lu Ying was almost killed.

I think there are some secrets in it.

Minister Zhang.

It's under your jurisdiction.

Who are you asking?

So you want to shirk the responsibility?

Now that you arrest them, you should go on the investigation.

Your Majesty

It's frame up.

Shut up.

Take her back.

Your Majesty

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

What are you waiting for?

Your Highness.

What's wrong?

I need paper.

Yes.

Can't you see the emperor's attitude?

So this time they are going to deal with us.

The emperor and crown prince may think so.

But they have their respective plans.

They are father and son after all.

The relationship of emperor and subject comes first.

I have got the paper and them.

We should go back to the palace.

Wait.

What should I do?

Where is the paper?

Command You.

She is my brother-in-law's maid.

You...

What's going on?

Why are you a horse seller?

For a reason.

Release me now.

Maid Gu.

Hear me out.

The paper in duplicate.

The other one is in the idiot's hand.

Hurry, take it back.

How dare you!

Command You.

Go back to the palace now.

Tell the crown prince.

Crown prince, come with me.

I have something to ask you.

Yes

Your Majesty

If the crown prince hadn't mentioned it,

I would have reported it after the festival.

The rumor has it that there are horse dealers.

But it's not An Pingbo.

It's a student in imperial college, Zhang Shaoyun.

Chancellor.

Chancellor.

You can't slander others just because you want to cover someone up.

The student Zhang often goes to the casino.

He has many misdeeds.

He often gambles all his money.

It's notorious to everyone.

You...

Nonsense.

Last night he spent 300 Guan for the horse racing and tips.

I don't know student Zhang sells the horses

under his dad's or whose protective umbrella.

To cover all his money.

I don't know his whereabouts.

But chancellor knows it very well.

It's a major case.

I can't be careful enough.

I don't want to affect the emperor's mood at the festival.

So...

this is Jingjidao's destiny.

As I know, you ruined one.

But they kept this one despite the difficulties.

Fortunately, I am farsighted.

I know it's a major case.

So I send for the reinforcements early in the morning.

You should arrest these suspects.

So I won't bother to draw up the memorial to the throne.

Maid Gu.

Yesterday I gambled away 300 Guan that you gave me.

And they introduced me to a buyer whose offer is 400 Guan for my Fan horses.

I can get 100 Guan.

We had a deal that they would return the IOU.

So I...

Who are they?

Where are they?

I don't know.

The buyer is here, but...

Idiot.

Do you know the horses?

You say An Pingbo mongers the horses.

You also told the imperial guards to arrest people with great fanfare.

Now everyone knows it.

But in the end, Zhang Shaoyun is the horse seller.

Good for nothing.

Your maid tried to destroy the evidence.

Your bodyguard also pulled the machet.

Maid.

The horses he sells are stamped with brands.

What happened?

It's military horses.

Military horses?

No.

Those horse were not branded before.

It's not smuggling.

It's treason.

Treason?

My country is so good to me.

How can I be a traitor?

Maid Gu.

Go back and find my brother-in-law.

He should save me.

Save you?

It's ok that you ask for death.

But you get me, and crown prince implicated.

Your uncle is missing now.

But you indulge your subordinate's interfering with military affairs.

On your knees.

Minister Zhang.

Lu Ying had an accident under your jurisdiction.

Tell me.

Who should take the responsibility.

I think we should enlarge the topic another day.

You.

Before we find out Zhang Shaoyun's horse smuggling,

Minister Zhang is suspended from his duties.

Your Majesty.

Confine the crown prince in Donggong palace.

If he dares to go out, the imperial guard can pull the machete.

Your Majesty

Crown prince.

You told me to believe you one more time.

You fail me so.

Your Royal Highness

Maid Gu wants to tell you.

We are in a serious trouble.

You already knew this right?

Because this time I will give you and the country something in return.

I have said,

I don't like your crying and making a fuss.

But your words and attitude fail...

Even if you detest me one more time,

please trust me one more time.

I want to prove it to you.

You want to take advantage of the military horse.

Your Royal Highness

You should think carefully, it may be counterproductive.

Your Highness

You should go back.

Your Highness

Stop kneeling.

You should go back.

Maid Gu.

Where have you been?

She won't come out.

You don't have to do this.

Maid Gu.

I am not so smart.

I can't think of a better way.

Let's go.

Your Royal Highness.

The emperor says you can't leave here.

You, fetch some water in Baoben palace.

Your Royal Highness.

Please, you can't go.

Your Royal Highness

We don't want to pull the machete, please.

Pull the machet.

If your machete still can't stop me, it's your dereliction of duty.

Stop.

You really take it for real?

Your...

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

Here is... - Out of my way.

Your Royal Highness

All my fault.

I caused you such big trouble.

Where did you learn this from?

Such a bad learner.

I can't deserve the position.

Please divorce me.

Come. Stop talking.

We should go back now.

My brother caused you such big trouble.

You are my wife, my woman.

Your father and brother's status and crimes have nothing to do with you.

But I can't do anything for you.

No.

You can help me.

You just need to stay with me like this.

At the wedding,

the emperor didn't allow me to take you to Yide palace.

But I really want to show my mom's dressing room.

When I was young, I knew my mom is

the most beautiful woman in the world.

Her motherly model of the nation doesn't need the title of queen.

Outside the subterranean palace, the birds bring the letters back.

We have temple carillon throughout the hidden palace.

I stand behind her for countless mornings and nights.

I saw her pick up and remove the floriation like a swan.

For the moment, no one would care.

She is so beautiful.

But the one she waited didn't come.

Years are so frozen because of hopelessness.

People are devoured by hopelessness.

People are like the jade.

It needs care and gentle stroke.

If you lay it aside, it will be overshadowed.

From that time

No.

From a long time ago,

I knew I should watch my future wife comb hair.

I would go back to her when she is in pain, or she needs me.

I am....

The luckiest woman in the world.

Don't worry.

I will be with you forever.

We will be with you forever.

We?

You refused to ride a horse with me.

Because...

The baby, I...

Yes.

Our children.

We can't have the baby.

Why?

Your Royal Highness

Why?

Your Majesty

What's wrong?

Your Majesty.

God.

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

How about it?

Your Majesty

It's...

Your Majesty

Xu.

What are you doing?

Please send for the doctor.

The crown prince should come here.

Ok.

A girl squats like this in the palace. It's not pleasant to eyes.

Your teacher taught you so?

There will be a little safe illusion.

I told you to go, but you didn't.

As I know, you caused me trouble.

All because of my negligence.

I should have kept an eye on Zhang from beginning to end.

No one knew we would meet the idiot.

Do you think of any good alibi?

I have thought about it.

It will bring more troubles than benefits if I keep you.

You can stay here tonight.

Tomorrow morning.

I have.

You want to hear now?

It's a serious matter, are you sure?

Yes.

I am sure.

I need a horse.

I need to go back to the palace now.

Commander, please.

Your Royal Highness

Commander is here

It's...

Commander.

I will go by myself.

My wife can't be alarmed.

Your Royal Highness

Take care of my princess.

Hurry...

Does he wake up?

Hurry...

Go to Yide palace.

Your Majesty

Hurry up

Hurry.

Close the gate.

Tonight no one can open it.

Your Majesty

Your Majesty

Dad

Your Royal Highness

The emperor fell asleep just now.

What happened?

Somnolence.

The airway is blocked, and it leads to sudden syncope.

What is the injury?

I did it.

It's a capital crime.

Guards.

Imprison him.

We will know how to punish him after the emperor wakes up.

Your Royal Highness.

The emperor was in critical condition.

And Xu saved the emperor in time.

Otherwise.

Things will be different now.

Your Royal Highness

Xu did the incision with the proper vigor.

And we handled the incision.

You don't have to worry now.

Why is the emperor here?

The emperor demanded it.

Maybe he is worried about Yan'an palace.

In the end

Your Highness.

Maybe you get the emperor wrong.

Three years ago, they opened the Yan'an's gate.

The assassin sneaked in.

So the emperor just takes the precaution.

He summoned the crown prince just in case.

After all, the imperial guards are with him.

He is also suspected of selling military horses.

Why didn't he go to my place?

Your Majesty.

You can cry if you want to.

You only have me here.

Women can't cry easily.

Men won't make you cry if they care for you enough.

Otherwise crying is so useless.

I want to keep my dignity.

Maybe we could think of the way.

It's useless.

It's effortless to find something that doesn't exist.

He won't come.

Dad, it's me

Crown prince

Give me a hand.

Stand up.

I am guilty.

I dare not to rise.

Bitter.

You won't become like this without me.

Sometimes you are arbitrary and stubborn.

You should take medicine first.

After that, I will plead guilty.

It has nothing to do with you.

I received military intelligence from Changzhou.

They lost the battle.

Your uncle is fine.

Your cousin died.

Your Majesty

The medicine is getting cold.

Dad

I will watch vigil for you with them.

Good night.

No need.

Yes

I will go back to Donggong palace.

Just sleep here.

It's dewy outside.

Your Majesty

I know I shouldn't ask you this.

Horse.

Because they lack horses.

They sent 10% horses to the front, right?

Not enough.

Your Majesty, I...

I heard something I shouldn't.

Zhang Shaoyun's military horses.

The maid that went with Zhang Shaoyun told me,

I have checked all.

They are military horses.

I didn't expect among them, there are horses younger than five.

It's a serious matter, are you sure?

Yes.

I am sure.

Your Majesty

Five years ago, we didn't use Fan horses as the warhorses any more.

And those are the warhorses that should be sent to the front.

I can't trust you so easy.

Your Majesty

Let me investigate it thoroughly.

I will find out the criminal.

In memory of the casualties.

But today.

You failed me.

Crown prince.

Do you know why it's so difficult to be a crown prince?

I never think...

Because the emperor only needs to protect the world.

Courtiers need to protect themselves.

Only you are their monarch and my courtier.

You need to protect the world and yourself at the same time.

No stupid and coward man could be in the position.

Let alone the incapable man.

Your Majesty

Someone must be responsible for the defeat.

If we don't thoroughly investigate it,

Gu Silin

Lu Ying

Zhang Luzheng

Zhang Shaoyun, even you hardly absolve oneself from the blame.
