Original subtitles

Be gentle.

Don't sabotage it.

Stop it.

Zhang Shaoyun.

Go.

What?

What else can it be?

Brother Lu

Brother Lu

Bye.

If you see the maid who gave me the handkerchief,

you should tell her I love her.

I love her at first glance.

The execution is in the fall, right?

What are you talking about?

The carriage is outside.

You can go home now.

Go home.

Minister Zhang, rise.

The crown prince says Zhao Shaoyun is taken advantage of by others.

And he was severely punished.

It's expiation.

The crown prince got the emperor's permission for his release.

This is the crown prince's memorial.

Go home...

Thank you, brother-in-law.

Go...

Brother Lu

Good bye.

After I get home, I will tell my brother in law and my father to save you.

Wait for me.

Ok.

Go.

You violated national law.

So your title can be changed from chancellor to criminal overnight.

So it's the long arm.

Or a joke?

It sounds familiar.

Royal minister Lu.

You are back.

Did you go to see the princess?

Yes, I did.

What about Zhang Shaoyun?

He goes back.

He is not a kid.

He is dandiacal all day long.

You should restrain him in the future.

What are you doing?

Your Royal Highness.

I was muddle-headed.

I regret it very much.

Please punish me.

I'm afraid the case won't be settled without you.

I should be sentenced to death.

I know you. So I won't blame you.

But next time,

I hope you can be resolute and prudent.

Your Royal Highness.

The emperor leaves Li Baizhou to me.

Minister Zhang, you can go back now.

You should organize the evidence and archive,

with assistant minister Du, Dali temple and censorate.

Keep them well.

Yes.

Ten day, enough?

Yes.

Why so many?

Go, take a look.

Yes.

It's been almost ten days, we can't have a good sleep.

It's ok for minister Zhang.

Someone sends him the new clothes.

It's so hot.

I just took shower for once.

Smell it.

Hurry.

No wonder it's affluent family.

At the first glance, so many heads.

His family is not so affluent.

But his wife's family is an established family in Huating.

Yes.

Now we have many people from Huating in the court, right?

Prefectural governor Li and minister Lu.

Lu Zihua.

And magistrate Song.

What are you following me?

Tonight we need to give the crown prince an answer.

The evidence is so clear.

It's so obvious.

Come...

This time I can exterminate the traitor.

I need to thank you for your help.

Thank you on behalf of the emperor.

I am flattered.

The ministry of justice will get Li's case settled.

I will fulfill my promise with you.

Before that, I am sorry that you

and your son needs to stay in the ministry of justice.

You are so considerate.

But thank you very much.

But reinstatement is a great event.

Please, you need to live in the capital after you are out of prison.

After the emperor returns,

Your Royal Highness.

For the reinstatement, I need...

So you want to decline me?

My daughter and younger son are in Changzhou.

I want to pick them up.

I can pick them up for you.

You don't need...

I.

If I can't, you can tell your elder son...

No need.

I want to pick them up in person.

After that, I can go home directly.

Go home?

I know your hometown...

Changzhou is in the north of capital.

Huating is the south.

How can you go home directly?

So you want to...

Yeah, I want to reject.

I see.

What?

You have some grievances about me and the emperor.

Your Royal Highness.

I have no complaints.

Disappointed?

It's censor Chen Jiusi's confession.

On the court test, the traitor Li instructed them to destroy the national ceremony.

I feel so down, even if I am the emperor's son.

Let alone you.

No.

I just miss my hometown very much.

I will bid you farewell before I leave the capital.

Bye.

We have army and politics.

But we must keep both of them on track.

Previously someone was homesick.

He said so before leaving me.

He is my teacher.

He is also your political partner right?

Teacher.

He died.

If you leave, the court may...

I know we disappoint you.

But can you give the court, me, and the emperor another chance?

I am sorry.

He lost this, please help me give it to him.

I am afraid that he will regret it for good.

Our soldiers were defeated because he corrupted the warhorses.

He raised the warhorses in secret and hatched the plot.

He instructed his servants to threaten the crown prince.

We have investigated all the evidence.

Li Baizhou is charged with rebellion.

I know it's rebellion.

You have decided how to punish him, right?

According to law, the rebel's entire clan will be exterminated.

Clan.

It's so cruel.

You are benevolent.

We just do it by national law.

I know it's national law.

And I am not trying to show mercy.

But I don't want to see this case become people's gossip.

So you mean...

Kill fathe, mother, wife.

That's all.

Yes.

And.

What?

When assistant minister Du investigated this case,

he found he conspired with a ministry councilor of rites.

They destroyed the paper.

This is the evidence delaying the court test.

Assistant minister Du.

It's my order.

Lu Ying's father and son.

Release them.

Your Royal Highness

Your Royal Highness

I think we should ask for the emperor's permission, right?

Now I am the regent.

Yes.

Minister Zhang, I know you have some grievances with him.

But it's not a request.

It's an order.

Yes.

Tonight you are not busy?

It's settled.

So I have the time to be with you and...

What are you listening to? Not so early.

Don't move, he's talking to me.

I wish I can give you a son.

I prefer a princess.

Lie again.

No.

You may not know, I used to have a sister.

She is so small and so cute.

It's her teething phase.

She called my brother whenever I saw her.

I taught her for a long time.

You are too tired recently.

You should go to bed early tonight.

He is so little.

But he survived the trouble.

He will be safe in the future.

Both of you will be safe.

This time I need to thank maid Gu.

Thank her?

Why?

Of course.

I don't know her difficulties.

But she still didn't betray you and me.

She even knew a way to protect herself.

I have to admit she is so awesome.

You should take her as your concubine.

Nonsense.

I really don't care.

I am relieved when she is around.

I think she recovers now.

I will have her sent back soon.

Why?

Smart people will make others exhausted.

I can't sleep well if we keep her.

You don't like her.

Shaoyun likes her.

She should marry Shaoyun.

Zhang Shaoyun likes her?

So can Zhang Shaoyun deserve her?

Prince V is single.

She can be his concubine.

We are of a family.

No.

Why are you laughing?

You reject both.

If the emperor likes her,

you still reject it?

She will be your mother in law.

If you see her, who will show courtesy to whom?

Mischievous.

Mischievous.

Fine.

Ok, I won't say it

Mischievous?

Enough, your Royal Highness.

The crown prince says you need rest now.

What are you doing here?

I want to see the crown prince.

He is sleeping.

So early today?

But he will make an exception for you.

You should be lucky that you are going to leave here.

Father.

Song'er.

You are back.

You haven't slept yet?

Yes.

You haven't come back for days.

I'm waiting for you.

My good daughter

Father.

I am waiting for you, too.

Father.

I'll get you some water.

Go.

If you are fine, you can go to the national college tomorrow.

I'm not fine.

How can I recover so fast?

Father.

I just want to ask you.

Li Baizhou's case is settled right?

Why do you ask about this?

Brother Lu has been taking care of me in prison.

I can't be ungrateful, right?

Help me release him.

Even you...

Father.

If you can't do it,

you can tell sister to ask her husband for help.

Such a good son.

Go.

Brother in law scolded you?

You.

I only listen to the serious matter.

Your Royal Highness.

I.

I will report work in the palace tomorrow.

If you recovered, I would...

I have asked them.

They still have vacancies in palace Li.

I will ask lady Jiang to transfer me there tomorrow.

Very well.

If you go to palace Li,

At least you won't...

What?

Nothing.

So we won't see each other again.

Great.

My father told me,

Profound feelings are great.

Forgetting each othe will be lucky.

At that time, I didn't understand.

And I didn't believe it.

We should forget each other even if we are in the palace.

Yes.

Are you here just to tell me these?

Yes.

Attendant Wang tells me that I have a good temper.

I think he is flattering me.

[The poem's rough meaning]The cloud shrouds the river. Such a good landscape.

I stand high and remember one sentence.

We can liberate ourselves in the mountains, rivers, and the temple.

I begin to realize there, with such good scenery,

our minds can also be broad even if we are not immortal.

We can be free even if we don't have wings.

Can you see?

I have said, Li Baizhou will have doomsday.

I said the same.

You two didn't.

Father, mother and wife.

I should thank you.

Or hate you?

Why don't you hate yourself?

Why should I hate myself?

Why? tell me.

I am from an estblished family.

I took third place in national civil examinations when I was 20.

I worked in the ministry of war when I was 30.

I work as a chancellor at the age of 40.

You should know my 50 years old.

I have replaced Gu Yushan, I am the top official.

But you are born in poor family.

You are powerless and incompetent.

It's prefectly right.

Why should I hate myself?

Why?

Tell me.

The country never shorchanges you.

But you take advantage of you.

Till now, you...

Forget it.

You don't care about loyalty, filial piety, and shame.

Let alone the persuasion.

Where are we now?

Tell me.

My son-in-law is the emperor's most beloved son.

He will be the emperor in the future.

My grandson will be the crown prince too.

We will have the country.

Gu Yushan thought the same way.

But look at the crown prince, he has the country, or...

Take him out.

You don't believe me, right?

One day you will see.

Lu, you never agreed on my proposal.

But this time, you need to answer me.

Did you go to see lady, Jiang?

Yes.

What are your plans for the future?

Go to Changzhou.

On horse back.

Pick up my brother.

And then?

Then, I will go back to my hometown with my father and brothers.

Do the farming and planting.

Read some books.

And then?

Then.

Do the harvesting things.

You have no me in your plan.

Thank you for your care.

So you can't repay me back right?

For royal minister Lu, did the crown prince promise you anything?

He promised me face to face.

And?

This time, from the beginning royal minister, should take some credit.

I am incompetent,

but I never did something wrong for you.

Sister.

I will see the imperial concubine.

You know this time she...

Yes.

Please.

Sister.

Congratulations

I know I have no chance.

But I want to say, I am not a passer-by.

Please,

Remember this.

Assistant minister Du wants to see you now.

Come in.

The emperor will be back soon.

You should prepare your memorials.

Your Royal Highness.

I found this.

Is this your decree?

What's wrong?

This is what you want?

According to law, the rebel's clan will be exterminated.

Father mother and wife.

Yes.

What happened?

The emperor gave the decree to minister Zhang.

So I want to ask you.

What time is it now?

Almost noon.

Go.

Stop Zhang Luzheng.

Tell him, come back, I need to see him.

Yes.

Go.
