You should go back now.

Your Royal Highness

My princess needs a doctor.

Yes.

And.

If you dare to talk nonsense in front of the princess,

I will send you back, I can promise you.

Your Royal Highness

I didn't.

Still deny.

I only took you there.

Who else would it be?

Now you remember to behave?

So the crown prince won't come for a while.

Minister Zhang

I think we should start without him.

Assistant minister Du.

Minister Zhang

Bring him up.

How dare you!

Today the crown prince needs to interrogate him in person.

My knees hurt on a cloudy day.

I can't bend them.

Guards.

I won't need to kneel down in front of the emperor.

Leave him be.

He won't talk with his feet anyway.

In accordance with the decree,

An Pingbo's mansion has been searched.

We have got the coral, teal, gold, and satin.

And...

And an account book, right?

As I know, we have found the two people Zhang mentioned.

Yes.

Zhang recognized them.

Father.

I have seen them.

Yes, they are.

I can recognize them no matter what.

Stop calling me father.

Here is the court.- We have no father here.

Call your grace.

Since Zhang Shao...

Since he recognizes them,

the war horse smuggler,

those who framed him up,

and the crown prince's men...

You...

You are scheming me.

The dead won't talk.

So he can talk nonsense here.

You...

After my brother-in-law comes,

I will...

Here is the court.

So why the two criminals are buried in your mansion?

How do I know?

The imperial guards and people of the ministry of justice

go to my mansion so many times.

I want to ask them why they are buried in my mansion?

We have the testimony and evidence, but you still play hooliganism.

Hooliganism.

Compared with the gentlemen here, I am as meek as a lamb.

All of you here reported me.

Not for me.

Why bother the nonsense with the rogue?

If the heart is the iron, the law will be the furnace.

You want to punish me?

Why?

God will protect you?

No god.

But An Pingbo is the royal relative.

So you need to be cautious with the punishment.

The queen's family is the royal relatives.

Who is he?

Take him...

Wait.

Commander.

I am here to send the oral decree.

Here is the decree.

In today's interrogation, the crown prince can't torture An Pingbo.

Your Majesty.

Your Royal Highness.

I gave you the money when you were born.

You forgot it, but the emperor still remembers.

Commander.

Can we start now?

Yes, please.

I am a hearer.

The two dead people are the wanted men.

We have the arrest warrant.

The suspect Zhang, you know them?

Yes.

They dare to smuggle Fan horses in the capital.

It's an indisputable fact.

Yes.

The suspect Zhang knows them and buys horses from them.

It's the indisputable fact, too.

Yes.

No matter where the warhorses come from,

no matter who is behind the smugglers,

he can't break away with the collaborative horse smuggling.

This is indisputable, right?

Father.

Your Grace.

Your Royal Highness

Minister Zhang

By national law, what should we do?

Have him whipped for 80 times.

Then...

I wrote this last night.

You are professional.

Have a look, I need your advice.

My son violates the national law.

As the head of justice, I won't bend the law for personal interest.

Zhang Shaoyun smuggled the warhorses. It's totally unforgiven.

It's capital offense.

I planned to send it to the emperor after the trial.

Now that commander is here,

Please bring it to the emperor.

Have him whipped for 80 times and imprison him.

We will wait for the emperor's sentence.

Father.

Father.

Brother-in-law.

Your Royal Highness

Brother-in-law

Your Royal Highness

Zhang Shaoyun is minister Zhang's only son.

Minister Zhang places righteousness above family loyalty.

Commander.

So I won't be partial to the national smugglers.

I won't be partial to my blood brother.

Not to mention

You are just my family's dog.

The treasury has fiscal problems.

People starve.

You accumulate wealth by unfair means avariciously.

Now you dare to growl in front of your master.

On your knees and answer me.

Guards.

Have him whipped while interrogating him.

Your Royal Highness

The emperor has...

I will plead guilty for defying against the decree.

What's your relationship with them?

My servants.

Commander.

Chancellor

I am here to send the decree.

So I am just a hearer now.

Who instigated the suspect Zhang's buying and selling horses?

My god.

Punish him.

I will tell you.

I sent my men to the casino.

I tempted him.

Where did you get the warhorses?

Steal them from the imperial guards, right?

Slap his face.

I

Get him up.

Where?

I do not know either.

Who ordered the Xiaoji cavalry to Donggong palace's Grange?

Not me.

So it's prince Qi.

No.

Not prince Qi.

You.

How many warhorses have you corrupted?

Where are they now?

For what purpose?

I don't know.

Finger clamp.

I

I really don't know.

He didn't tell me.

He didn't tell me.

How dare you!

You should come clean.

How dare you to scapegoat others!

Who is he?

Torture.

Your Royal Highness

It's...

Bring cold water.

Wake him up and go on interrogation.

Your Royal Highness

I am a hearer.

But the emperor also said,

Zhao Yong is old.

He can interrogate him.

But without torture.

Your Royal Highness, you should know the sense of dignity.

I'm afraid he will over-torture the criminal to death.

Find him a doctor.

We will go on interrogation after he is better.

Your Royal Highness

Tea.

Why don't you go to see your son?

All the guards here are my subordinates.

They will take care of him somewhat.

Good to know.

I am sorry that I didn't teach him well.

We are sorry for the trouble.

I think now he has learnt.

Thank you for your understanding.

Your Royal Highness

I think the memorial is just an excuse.

It's not for real, right?

Who else is for real if the memorial is not?

Commander has taken it back.

Your Royal Highness

It's the emperor's decision to make.

Your Royal Highness

He is my only son.

Thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield

because of the warhorse smuggling.

Minister Zhang

Among them, how many are single sons?

Your Royal Highness

It's different.

Your Royal Highness

Minister Zhang

Let alone your son,

If it's me, I won't have partiality for others' gossip.

I won't allow the culprit to break away with it.

Minister Zhang, that's all I can do.

Father.

An Pingbo was arrested, right?

Why does he become like this?

The crown prince doesn't aim at An Pingbo.

And...

It's more difficult than it appears.

Autumn orchis and aromatic strawberry,

They grow in the hall brightly.

Green leaves and paint branches,

The fragrance of the flowers lingers around me.

O, everyone may have their own pretty children,

Why could thou worry so far?

Autumn orchis looks blueness,

Green leaves and purple pedicel.

Your Royal Highness

Autumn orchis means...

I know it.

It means orchid blooming in autumn.

Your Royal Highness

It's different from the orchid now.

It's a kind of herb.

It's Eupatorium chinense.

Really?

The wife of emperor Wengong in dynasty Zheng dreamt

an angel sent her Eupatorium chinense.

Then she gave birth to a baby.

So Eupatorium chinense also means the childbearing.

I see.

But if it's medicine, it's not good for...

All set?

Your Royal Highness.

What are you packing?

Nothing.

Maid Gu

Go on.

The next sentence is...

There are so many beautiful girls here.

But I have my eyes only for you.

Don't move.

Did the doctor come?

Yes.

She is fine.

He prescribed some tranquilizers.

We will get the medicine in the afternoon.

She should take medicine for some days.

We will change it if it's not good.

Your Royal Highness

Shaoyun.

He is fine.

Really?

Your Royal Highness

He is really fine.

Father.

Father is here.

Congratulations, your Royal Highness.

My son is all right.

Thank you for your care.

Take care of yourself.

Take care.

Am I telling you the truth, right?

Your Royal Highness

Tell maid Gu to see him.

And give him some clothes.

Ok?

I will order attendant Wang to go.

I feel relieved if maid Gu goes.

I am not a betrayer.

Let alone my son,

I won't hesitate even if I need to sacrifice myself for the country.

Chancellor.

You should go back.

We just need to wait for An Pingbo to speak.

Why does he become like Lu Ying all of a sudden?

You can go.

Bring him some medicine.

But he won't need the clothes now.

Zhang.

Zhang

Zhang

Excuse me.

Zhang.

Maid.

He has been in a coma for quite a long time.

He woke up just now.

Leave him alone.

You can see the clean water on the table.

You should help him drink some water.

He can't move now.

And I can't reach him.

Ok

Maid Gu

Why are you here?

Her Royal Highness told me to come.

It's my sister's needlework.

Are you cold?

I will give you a quilt.

No.

It will get dirty.

Ok.

Maid Gu

Don't tell my sister.

No need for you to tell me.

The crown prince doesn't allow me to tell her.

Maid.

You can give me the medicine.

I will help him.

Ok

Maid Gu

Are you leaving?

I have work to do.

Maid Gu

Can you give me the handkerchief?

Ok

Maid Gu

So, can I be the uncle?

Young master Lu.

You need the medicine, too.

Maid Gu

Please take the carriage.

It's...

I am here to pick up you.

You did a lot.

Let me give you a ride.

It's...

Today, the doctor took the pulse for the princess

and prescibed some medicine right?

They are negligent.

He lost one dose.

I bring it here now.

It's...

Autumn orchis and aromatic strawberry,

They grow in the hall brightly.

Eupatorium chinense

Eupatorium chinense means childbearing.

People will lack iodine without it.

If Eupatorium chinense is used for medicine,

it will stop menstrual bleeding.

And postpartum stasis.

It's not good for the pregnant women.

You want to...

Who told you it's for the princess?

The medicine is for you.

For me?

Did you search everywhere?

Yes.

Except the study.

Where did she put it?

Did you find it?

No.

But we found this in the study.

It's incense?

It's for her right?

No.

Yeah.

Your Royal Highness

Tell me.

Why do you like her?

Who likes her?

I grow up with you.

Stop pretending.

How long will it take?

The longer the better.

The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold.

The fragrance comes from you.

I promised the emperor.

I won't contact her forever.

It's not mine.

Open it.

No.

Not now.

I have the incense for the curtain.

Maid Chen

Go.

Fetch it for the princess.

No need.

I am sick of all the incenses.

Where is maid Gu?

Why doesn't she come back till now?

Wang.

Why are you here?

Took you long enough.

All of them are waiting for you.

Waiting for me?

Where is the prescription?

I put...

Go find it.

If you find it, you should go to the pharmacy.

The princess only trusts you.

Yes

The crown prince is trying to topple chancellor at all costs.

He even rebels against his royal father.

Let alone others.

You didn't see the suspect Zhang?

Why does it have anything to do with me?

Because of royal minister Lu's testimony,

Zhang's Fan horse trade becomes the warhorse trade.

Minister Zhang is desperate to save his son.

So he will cooperate with the crown prince

to force An Pingbo to report chancellor.

Crown prince is destined to win.

He will announce amnesty when his son is born.

The suspect Zhang will be safe

and Zhang Luzheng will be the new chancellor.

Zhang Luzheng is narrow-minded.

He is uncongenial with royal minister Lu.

Plus his son's prison term.

So you think your father and brother

can go out of his prison with the amnesty?

No.

The crown prince promised me,

After the case is settled, he will...

Anyway, he has the testimony in hand.

Is it important whether the royal minister Lu is dead or not?

No.

Even if he says nothing,

You think minister Zhang won't do it himself after his speculation?

Do you remember the night royal minister Lu was under attack?

The chancellor didn't order anyone to kill your father and brother.

Minister Zhang meant to scapegoat chancellor.

But Zhang Shaoyun bumped into it.

Brother Wenpu.

Zhang Shaoyun.

Why is he here?

Hurry.

Hurry up

Brother Wenpu

Brother Wenpu

Brother Wenpu

Father...

Father...

Father.

Father, why are you shouting?

Get out.

The imperial concubine's father is the chancellor.

It's also true for the princess' father.

Maid Gu.

The medicine is boiling.

The princess likes preserved apricots.

You should get some.

Yes.

Maid Gu.

Leave it to me.

No need.

Your hands.

Not a big deal.

Let's go.

Take medicine after eating this.

Maid Gu.

Yes.

Is he alright?

Zhang Shaoyun.

He is fine.

Did he wear the clothes?

He cherishes it too much that he doesn't wear.

Stupid again.

So ignorant.

Otherwise, it won't be like this.

I have work to do.

I will go outside.

You should take medicine first.

Zhang Shaoyun also asked me.

When he will be uncle.

How can he be uncle like that?

I said he can for sure.

Your Royal Highness, please

Take medicine.

She is sleeping.

Ok.

The deadline is the execution in the fall.

How long can you keep it from her?

Are you questioning me?

I dare not.

You are the crown prince, after all.

Sometimes you need to place righteousness above family loyalty.

Why are the words so harsh?

No.

I am a poor speaker.

Put it away.

What is this?

I am clumsy since childhood.

Why do you have badger fat?

I was clumsy when I was a kid.

I was punished a lot due to my poor calligraphy.

Your Royal Highness

So you are warning me, right?

No, it's a bribery.

My sons come to the world with amnesty.

Before that, you should keep something from the princess.

Ok?

Go.

Your Royal Highness

What's the execution in fall?

What are you hiding from me?

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Go, send for the doctor.

Yes. - Nianzhi.

Nianzhi.

Are you all right?

Painful.

Painful.

Painful.

Your Royal Highness

Blood.

Send for the doctor.
