1
00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:20,530
[Emperor of Ye]
2
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,160
Prince Qi, please come with me.
3
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,790
Your Majesty, Xiao Wuyi campaigned
in the Northern Border,
4
00:00:44,790 --> 00:00:46,710
repelled Northern Qin,
and recaptured five cities.
5
00:00:46,710 --> 00:00:47,770
He is a man of merit.
6
00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:49,000
Killing him
7
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,520
would only sadden our friends
and gladden our enemies.
8
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,380
Please show mercy, Your Majesty.
9
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,280
Mother was right.
10
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:00,890
An emperor cannot allow
11
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,490
another power to exist at his side.
12
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,310
It seems tonight
13
00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:08,640
will be another bloodbath.
14
00:01:09,710 --> 00:01:12,120
I am willing to vouch for Young Lord Xiao.
15
00:01:13,150 --> 00:01:14,789
You're just a prince.
16
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,940
What gives you the right to vouch for him?
17
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:20,680
Wuyi is my best
18
00:01:21,150 --> 00:01:22,200
and only friend.
19
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,610
He will listen to me.
20
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,920
Please give me a chance, Your Majesty.
21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,640
I will persuade Wuyi
to withdraw his troops.
22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,350
And please keep Xiao Wuyi
23
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,440
and Prince Jing'an's Mansion safe,
Your Majesty.
24
00:01:34,150 --> 00:01:34,950
Grand Tutor.
25
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:38,600
You were indeed right.
26
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,640
Prince Qi is the only perfect solution
for tonight.
27
00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:46,640
Just do as you said.
28
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Yes, Your Majesty.
29
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:57,810
Your Highness,
30
00:01:58,479 --> 00:02:01,640
from now on,
there won't be Yaoyao anymore.
31
00:02:03,150 --> 00:02:06,210
The peace of the world
and the survival of the royal clan
32
00:02:08,030 --> 00:02:10,750
all depend on you alone, Your Highness.
33
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,190
[Key to the Phoenix Heart]
34
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,190
[Episode 4]
35
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
All I want is peace across the realm.
36
00:03:51,310 --> 00:03:52,970
Are you willing to grant that?
37
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:04,400
Your Highness,
38
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,360
rebellions in the capital
have all been quelled.
39
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:07,120
The troops have assembled.
40
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,050
We can enter the palace at any time.
41
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,610
Wait for news from Wuyi.
42
00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:12,650
Yes.
43
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,580
One hundred thousand Beifu soldiers
44
00:04:16,510 --> 00:04:18,170
are just outside the city now.
45
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:20,870
I have already said,
46
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,820
as long as you hand over
your military power,
47
00:04:23,820 --> 00:04:25,620
I can restore peace to the world.
48
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,560
I can also promise you
49
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,130
to erect a monument for
the 30,000 soldiers who died in vain.
50
00:04:31,630 --> 00:04:34,270
But if you refuse
to hand over your military power,
51
00:04:34,270 --> 00:04:35,920
I will have to be ruthless.
52
00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:41,250
So what if the Beifu soldiers
are just outside the wall?
53
00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:44,510
You, Young Lord Xiao,
have already fallen into my trap.
54
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,240
They cannot save you.
55
00:04:47,310 --> 00:04:50,360
I'll just say Prince Changsha
killed Young Lord Xiao.
56
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,720
What can your Beifu soldiers
57
00:04:53,310 --> 00:04:54,480
do to me?
58
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,800
His Highness Prince Qi has arrived!
59
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,660
Why aren't Mao and Lejun here yet?
60
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,560
Shouldn't they have left the city
long ago?
61
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,120
My Lady,
62
00:05:15,310 --> 00:05:18,070
did you hear any fighting
in the city when we left?
63
00:05:18,310 --> 00:05:19,190
Fighting?
64
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,800
Why do I feel that when we left the city,
65
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,190
I didn't even see a soul?
66
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,270
Cang'er, did you hear it?
67
00:05:25,270 --> 00:05:26,200
I didn't either.
68
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,600
Then perhaps I misheard.
69
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:32,960
Could something have happened
to Mao and Lejun?
70
00:05:33,630 --> 00:05:34,760
Let's go back first.
71
00:05:35,390 --> 00:05:36,240
If we go back now,
72
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,390
wouldn't we be walking right into a trap?
73
00:05:38,390 --> 00:05:39,720
Let's wait a bit longer.
74
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,680
No one said a carriage was prepared.
75
00:05:47,830 --> 00:05:49,240
My Lady, Her Highness ordered that
76
00:05:49,170 --> 00:05:51,270
[Shadow Envoy]
77
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:51,360
you must leave with me immediately.
78
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,420
Here is the letter.
79
00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:54,390
Mother's private seal?
80
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,670
[Go now]
81
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:58,830
But I have to wait for Mao.
82
00:05:58,830 --> 00:06:01,160
Prince Qi has already entered the palace.
He can't come.
83
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,690
Why did he enter the palace?
84
00:06:02,690 --> 00:06:03,680
There's no time to explain.
85
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,410
My Lady, please leave quickly.
86
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,120
Father?
87
00:06:16,510 --> 00:06:17,310
Yaoyao,
88
00:06:18,090 --> 00:06:20,090
I'm here to take you back to the city.
89
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:21,870
My Lord,
90
00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:23,920
Her Highness wants My Lady to leave.
91
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,250
Mind your own business!
92
00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:26,800
I won't go with you.
93
00:06:27,190 --> 00:06:28,390
I will not marry Xiao Wuyi.
94
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:29,800
I'm leaving with Mao.
95
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,330
By His Majesty's order:
96
00:06:32,630 --> 00:06:34,950
I have learned that Prince Changsha has
committed treason and besieged the palace.
97
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:36,120
Such fratricide
98
00:06:36,159 --> 00:06:37,190
pains me deeply.
99
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:41,140
[Xuanzheng Hall]
100
00:06:37,750 --> 00:06:39,240
Fortunately, Prince Qi was astute
101
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,340
and reported it.
102
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,270
With Young Lord Xiao
of Prince Jing'an's Mansion,
103
00:06:42,270 --> 00:06:43,560
he entered the palace
to quell the rebellion.
104
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,820
I am deeply comforted.
105
00:06:45,630 --> 00:06:46,830
His Majesty is awake?
106
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,040
When?
107
00:06:49,870 --> 00:06:51,190
His Majesty has another edict:
108
00:06:51,190 --> 00:06:52,680
I am prone to illness.
109
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,310
Prince Qi, Li Mao, is wise and perceptive,
110
00:06:55,310 --> 00:06:56,640
resembling me greatly.
111
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,710
He is hereby ordered
to enter the Eastern Palace
112
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,030
and serve as Regent.
113
00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:09,270
Where is His Majesty?
114
00:07:09,430 --> 00:07:10,830
Appointing a Regent
is of utmost importance.
115
00:07:10,830 --> 00:07:12,560
How could it be handled so hastily?
116
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,360
Your Majesty.
117
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,540
His Majesty said,
118
00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:16,600
"I understand Mother's intentions,
119
00:07:16,700 --> 00:07:19,870
but worldly affairs
must follow their natural course.
120
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Forcing them will only backfire."
121
00:07:22,750 --> 00:07:23,950
Does His Majesty know
122
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,390
that releasing Xiao Wuyi
123
00:07:25,390 --> 00:07:26,630
is like letting a tiger
return to the mountain?
124
00:07:26,630 --> 00:07:27,750
I didn't hesitate to get my hands dirty
125
00:07:27,750 --> 00:07:29,070
to eliminate Xiao Wuyi.
126
00:07:29,070 --> 00:07:30,570
This wasn't just for His Majesty,
127
00:07:30,570 --> 00:07:32,720
but to permanently remove a threat to Ye.
128
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,180
What is His Majesty doing?
129
00:07:34,510 --> 00:07:36,240
"No egg stays intact
in an overturned nest."
130
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,409
Ye cannot survive without Xiao Wuyi now.
131
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,920
Tonight, Prince Changsha
committed treason and besieged the palace.
132
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,310
Prince Qi and Young Lord Xiao
quelled the rebellion together.
133
00:07:47,310 --> 00:07:50,640
His Highness appreciated Prince Qi's
loyalty and bravery,
134
00:07:50,950 --> 00:07:53,310
and has appointed him as Regent.
135
00:07:53,630 --> 00:07:54,360
Impossible.
136
00:07:54,630 --> 00:07:56,190
The imperial edict has been issued.
137
00:07:56,190 --> 00:07:59,120
His Highness and Princess Pingning
have entered the Eastern Palace.
138
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,180
As for you, Yaoyao,
139
00:08:00,430 --> 00:08:03,720
you must marry into
Prince Jing'an's Mansion tonight.
140
00:08:05,830 --> 00:08:07,830
Prince Qi, receive the edict.
141
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,040
You want to ensure the coexistence
of Xiao Wuyi and the Empress Dowager,
142
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,680
and the coexistence of Beifu soldiers
and the Li family's empire.
143
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:18,560
So today,
144
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:21,740
no matter what edict I issue,
145
00:08:22,530 --> 00:08:24,730
are you willing to stand with Xiao Wuyi,
146
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,420
through fortune and misfortune,
147
00:08:27,750 --> 00:08:29,270
and share life and death?
148
00:08:35,950 --> 00:08:37,549
She is still waiting for you.
149
00:08:38,630 --> 00:08:39,240
Come.
150
00:08:44,870 --> 00:08:45,510
Wuyi.
151
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:47,150
Tonight, are you really going to...
152
00:08:47,150 --> 00:08:48,150
Think carefully.
153
00:08:48,790 --> 00:08:50,390
If you receive this edict...
154
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,510
you will never be able to
leave Jiankang Palace in your life.
155
00:08:52,510 --> 00:08:53,960
No matter who wins today,
156
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,120
the world will be thrown into chaos.
157
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:56,630
Wuyi.
158
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,030
I have experienced war
since I was a child.
159
00:08:59,030 --> 00:09:00,750
I know what kind of hell it is.
160
00:09:12,390 --> 00:09:13,150
My Lady, go!
161
00:09:13,150 --> 00:09:13,670
Go!
162
00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:17,790
Go!
163
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:26,960
Cang'er!
164
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:27,630
Yaoyao.
165
00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:28,800
Father.
166
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,240
Listen to me.
167
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,750
Father?
168
00:09:34,910 --> 00:09:35,790
Run, My Lady!
169
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,150
Run, My Lady!
170
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Cang'er!
171
00:09:39,390 --> 00:09:40,080
Cang'er!
172
00:09:40,390 --> 00:09:40,920
Cang'er!
173
00:09:41,750 --> 00:09:42,280
Cang'er!
174
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:43,480
Cang'er!
175
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,390
Cang'er!
176
00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:48,750
Cang'er!
177
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,390
Xie Jiayu!
178
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,800
Are you going to listen to me?
179
00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:05,510
Please don't kill her!
180
00:10:05,510 --> 00:10:06,440
I'll go with you!
181
00:10:06,950 --> 00:10:07,920
I'll go with you!
182
00:10:16,550 --> 00:10:18,150
Why did your shoe fall off?
183
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,960
Come, let me put it on for you.
184
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,870
A bride must be beautiful.
185
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:27,800
I thought you
186
00:10:28,590 --> 00:10:30,720
were a gentleman admired by everyone.
187
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,240
I've never seen you kill anyone.
188
00:10:34,290 --> 00:10:34,930
Why?
189
00:10:36,670 --> 00:10:37,960
Why did you do this?
190
00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:45,960
Don't cry.
191
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:48,960
Yaoyao,
192
00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:51,890
you should grow up now.
193
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,100
The first thing you learn
when you grow up is that
194
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,090
sometimes, you have no choice.
195
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,080
Mao had no choice.
196
00:11:01,150 --> 00:11:02,480
And so do you.
197
00:11:06,130 --> 00:11:08,270
I thought you loved me the most.
198
00:11:09,630 --> 00:11:12,790
Everyone has a scale in their heart,
199
00:11:14,380 --> 00:11:17,080
weighing what is important
and what is more important.
200
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,440
So you must marry Xiao Wuyi.
201
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,670
Is... Is it for the Xie family?
202
00:11:25,820 --> 00:11:26,620
Take her away.
203
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,510
Father! Tell me the reason!
204
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,020
Why must I marry Xiao Wuyi?
205
00:11:37,870 --> 00:11:38,720
Why?
206
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,840
You will be happier if you don't know.
207
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,200
I want to know.
208
00:11:46,150 --> 00:11:47,000
It's for Mao.
209
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,630
Prince Jing'an's Mansion commands
the Beifu Army of 200,000 soldiers.
210
00:11:52,630 --> 00:11:53,600
They're ambitious
211
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,720
and can change the dynasty at any time.
212
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,520
But why haven't they done it yet?
213
00:11:57,550 --> 00:11:58,960
Because there are noble families
214
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,090
like our Xie family,
215
00:12:00,270 --> 00:12:01,730
supporting His Highness—
216
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,650
or you can say
supporting the Li royal family.
217
00:12:05,610 --> 00:12:08,030
So even if the Xiao family
takes the throne,
218
00:12:08,030 --> 00:12:09,750
they won't be able to sit securely on it.
219
00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:12,670
But you never wanted
to associate with the Xiao family.
220
00:12:12,670 --> 00:12:14,120
If I run away from the wedding now
221
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,520
and break ties with them,
222
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,360
wouldn't that be better?
223
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,660
Maybe we could have done that before,
224
00:12:20,550 --> 00:12:23,750
but now the Regent is Mao.
225
00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:26,630
If Prince Jing'an's Mansion
has rebellious intentions,
226
00:12:26,630 --> 00:12:27,790
Mao, as the Regent,
227
00:12:28,150 --> 00:12:29,680
will have no way to survive.
228
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,670
For Mao,
229
00:12:32,670 --> 00:12:33,910
for the Xie family,
230
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,840
you must be this pawn.
231
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,000
Father,
232
00:12:43,550 --> 00:12:45,350
I don't seem to know you anymore.
233
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:50,780
Because...
234
00:12:52,550 --> 00:12:54,080
it's time for you to grow up.
235
00:13:05,910 --> 00:13:07,960
All troops, heed my command!
236
00:13:20,940 --> 00:13:22,070
Greetings, Father.
237
00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:25,150
Prince Jing'an, Xiao Ju,
238
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,390
and the Heir of Prince Jing'an, Xiao Wuyi,
239
00:13:27,390 --> 00:13:29,050
receive the imperial decree.
240
00:13:32,670 --> 00:13:34,000
Prince Changsha has committed treason,
241
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,320
and his crime is punishable by death.
242
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,480
The Xiaos received the decree to mobilize
the Beifu Army to suppress the rebellion.
243
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,720
Their loyalty is commendable,
244
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,050
and We are very pleased.
245
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,870
I hereby appoint Xiao Ju
as Grand General of National Defense,
246
00:13:43,870 --> 00:13:46,120
and Young Lord Xiao
as General of National Support.
247
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:47,920
Young Lord Xiao is ordered to...
248
00:13:54,150 --> 00:13:56,020
To marry the daughter of the Xie family.
249
00:13:56,020 --> 00:13:58,120
The Beifu Army must return immediately
250
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:58,980
without delay.
251
00:14:00,030 --> 00:14:01,630
Yes, Your Majesty.
252
00:14:02,150 --> 00:14:04,910
Furthermore, Prince Changsha deployed
military equipment without authorization,
253
00:14:04,910 --> 00:14:07,150
causing the innocent deaths
of Beifu soldiers.
254
00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:08,210
I am deeply pained.
255
00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:09,810
Prince Changsha's private properties
shall be confiscated
256
00:14:09,810 --> 00:14:11,600
to console the soldiers' families.
257
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,630
A Monument of Loyalty shall be erected
and recorded in history
258
00:14:14,630 --> 00:14:17,030
to honor the loyalty
of the Beifu soldiers.
259
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,680
Thank you, Your Majesty,
for your great grace.
260
00:14:33,410 --> 00:14:33,970
Wuyi,
261
00:14:34,510 --> 00:14:35,480
you have sought justice
262
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,340
for the soldiers who died in vain.
263
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,240
As for what happened tonight...
264
00:14:39,910 --> 00:14:40,510
I know.
265
00:14:41,510 --> 00:14:42,120
She...
266
00:14:42,390 --> 00:14:43,650
Don't worry about her.
267
00:14:45,630 --> 00:14:46,760
Tell her to wait for me.
268
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:47,670
I will find a way.
269
00:14:47,670 --> 00:14:48,240
Alright.
270
00:14:48,630 --> 00:14:49,890
I will pass it on to her.
271
00:14:52,270 --> 00:14:54,360
But there's something I want to ask you.
272
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,600
Who brought you back tonight?
273
00:14:57,510 --> 00:14:58,310
It was Master.
274
00:15:02,150 --> 00:15:03,080
The Grand Tutor?
275
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,560
What's wrong?
276
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:08,250
Nothing.
277
00:15:09,590 --> 00:15:10,510
General Xiao,
278
00:15:10,950 --> 00:15:12,480
Prince Qi, Young Lord Xiao.
279
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,240
Regarding the rebellion tonight,
280
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,550
Young Lord Xiao, thank you
for your bravery and righteousness
281
00:15:19,550 --> 00:15:21,250
in saving the people from suffering
282
00:15:21,250 --> 00:15:23,200
and rescuing the court
from imminent peril.
283
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,360
The Empress Dowager
specially ordered me to thank you
284
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,520
for saving our lives on behalf of
285
00:15:28,670 --> 00:15:31,200
all the officials
and the people of the realm.
286
00:15:49,670 --> 00:15:50,390
Son.
287
00:15:51,630 --> 00:15:55,430
What were you and Prince Qi silently
communicating with each other?
288
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:57,120
After tonight,
289
00:15:59,910 --> 00:16:02,040
Yizhi won't just be Prince Qi anymore.
290
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,460
He will also be the Regent.
291
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,480
What?
292
00:16:08,750 --> 00:16:09,360
Father,
293
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:10,870
I'll...
294
00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:12,530
go for a walk alone.
295
00:16:25,930 --> 00:16:29,250
I have brought Jiayu back.
296
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,120
Congratulations, Young Lord Xiao,
297
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,600
for seeking justice
for the soldiers who died in vain.
298
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,400
You played the Empty City Stratagem
beautifully.
299
00:16:41,510 --> 00:16:42,390
I'm impressed.
300
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,900
Grand Tutor, why don't you
301
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,280
just speak your mind?
302
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,600
The Beifu Army
brought back by the Old Prince
303
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:49,800
is at most 10,000 men.
304
00:16:50,550 --> 00:16:53,610
If they had really fought
the Imperial Guards tonight,
305
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,500
the outcome would be unknown.
306
00:16:55,700 --> 00:16:57,670
Am I right?
307
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,080
Yizhi said
308
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,210
that he was also escorted back
by you tonight.
309
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,400
Grand Tutor, you never planned
to let them go, did you?
310
00:17:08,589 --> 00:17:11,400
Now the royal family is in decline,
311
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,440
His Majesty is prone to illness,
312
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,990
and the Empress Dowager is dictatorial
and incompetent.
313
00:17:15,990 --> 00:17:18,680
Our Southern Ye
is on the verge of collapse.
314
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,410
Since there is no absolute winner,
315
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,119
it's better to have a win-win situation
316
00:17:24,270 --> 00:17:26,000
and make Prince Qi the Regent.
317
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:27,920
For you
318
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,750
and the realm,
319
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:31,640
isn't it a good thing?
320
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,130
You cultivated Yizhi for years
321
00:17:35,590 --> 00:17:36,670
just for today?
322
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,720
In Prince Qi,
323
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,110
I saw hope.
324
00:17:42,830 --> 00:17:44,290
What about your daughter?
325
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:48,510
Everyone in the city says the Grand Tutor
spoils his daughter the most,
326
00:17:48,510 --> 00:17:50,370
but I think you are just too cruel.
327
00:17:51,550 --> 00:17:53,550
You separated Yizhi and your daughter
328
00:17:53,550 --> 00:17:55,350
just to plant a seed of suspicion
329
00:17:55,550 --> 00:17:57,410
between Yizhi and me, didn't you?
330
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,200
What do you mean by that?
331
00:18:00,270 --> 00:18:01,400
You asked
332
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,310
the Empress Dowager
for this marriage yourself,
333
00:18:04,310 --> 00:18:05,030
didn't you?
334
00:18:06,110 --> 00:18:07,550
As for abandoning Jiayu,
335
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,660
that was Prince Qi's own choice.
336
00:18:09,660 --> 00:18:11,090
You can't blame anyone.
337
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:12,200
Yes,
338
00:18:13,510 --> 00:18:15,070
but I feel sad for them.
339
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,070
I did it for the realm.
340
00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:19,390
I have a clear conscience.
341
00:18:20,750 --> 00:18:21,680
From tonight on,
342
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,520
Yizhi is the Regent,
343
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,370
and Xie Jiayu is my Secondary Consort.
344
00:18:27,030 --> 00:18:30,000
I hope you stop here, Grand Tutor.
345
00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:48,020
But now the Regent is Mao.
346
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,070
If Prince Jing'an's Mansion
has rebellious intentions,
347
00:18:51,070 --> 00:18:52,400
Mao, as the Regent,
348
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,210
will have no way to survive.
349
00:18:54,590 --> 00:18:55,480
For Mao,
350
00:18:55,550 --> 00:18:56,680
for the Xie family,
351
00:18:57,370 --> 00:18:59,680
you must be this pawn.
352
00:19:04,270 --> 00:19:04,920
Cang'er!
353
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,400
Darling, you're not asleep yet?
354
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,050
Tonight in the capital,
355
00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:33,480
the wind is howling
and the rain is pouring.
356
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,350
Lord Xie,
357
00:19:35,150 --> 00:19:36,680
was the road easy to travel?
358
00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:42,240
There is no wind or rain.
359
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,070
It did rain a little just now.
360
00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:48,270
The rain stopped.
361
00:19:48,350 --> 00:19:49,610
The sky has cleared up.
362
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:54,330
Where is Yaoyao?
363
00:19:54,750 --> 00:19:56,920
Tonight is Yaoyao's wedding night.
364
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,160
Naturally,
she is at Prince Jing'an's Mansion.
365
00:20:01,790 --> 00:20:03,240
But if you miss her,
366
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,540
you can see her again
when she returns in three days.
367
00:20:06,590 --> 00:20:07,070
You killed
368
00:20:07,070 --> 00:20:09,400
the secret guard I sent to protect Yaoyao?
369
00:20:14,540 --> 00:20:17,270
I don't understand
what you are saying, Darling.
370
00:20:17,310 --> 00:20:17,960
Fine.
371
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Then I will say something
you can understand, My Lord.
372
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,110
Your son has become the Regent.
373
00:20:27,020 --> 00:20:30,000
Are you satisfied now, My Lord?
374
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:39,680
I am thirsty.
375
00:20:40,550 --> 00:20:41,830
I'll go get a cup of tea.
376
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,030
Lord Xie.
377
00:20:47,380 --> 00:20:49,610
That Li Mao,
your illegitimate child with Consort An
378
00:20:49,610 --> 00:20:50,740
of the Late Emperor,
379
00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:53,480
was finally pushed into the position
of Regent by you.
380
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:54,640
After years of painstaking efforts,
381
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,500
you have finally made it tonight.
382
00:20:58,550 --> 00:20:59,110
My Lord,
383
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,790
are you satisfied?
384
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,570
Are you looking at the Grand Tutor's Mansion
or the Prince Jing'an's Mansion?
385
00:21:24,180 --> 00:21:25,110
Tonight,
386
00:21:26,110 --> 00:21:28,170
you shouldn't have made this choice.
387
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:29,930
I didn't choose.
388
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,860
It was just a stalling tactic.
389
00:21:36,510 --> 00:21:38,190
Wuyi and I will find a way.
390
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,160
Brother.
391
00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:44,030
I think one day,
392
00:21:45,390 --> 00:21:47,320
you will regret today's decision.
393
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:12,690
Your Highness.
394
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,220
Let her sleep in peace.
395
00:22:18,590 --> 00:22:19,790
I won't go in tonight.
396
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:20,840
Wait.
397
00:22:28,110 --> 00:22:28,970
Your Highness,
398
00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:30,910
it's your wedding night.
399
00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:32,560
Where are you going?
400
00:22:34,070 --> 00:22:34,790
Xie Jiayu,
401
00:22:36,190 --> 00:22:37,250
you want me to stay?
402
00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:44,750
Husband,
403
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:46,770
it's our wedding night,
404
00:22:46,790 --> 00:22:49,050
and we haven't drunk the nuptial cup yet.
405
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,000
Don't worry. It's not poisoned.
406
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:47,480
Xie Jiayu,
407
00:23:48,030 --> 00:23:49,830
can you come up with some new tricks?
408
00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:51,290
Do you think I'm Qing Long?
409
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,240
Xiao Wuyi, let go of me!
410
00:23:55,510 --> 00:23:56,720
You treat me like this.
Do you believe I'll...
411
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:57,480
What?
412
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,420
That your father
will come and take you back?
413
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,270
We've been busy all night
414
00:24:11,270 --> 00:24:12,330
and haven't eaten.
415
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,400
Stop struggling,
416
00:24:17,590 --> 00:24:19,120
or your hands will get hurt.
417
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,310
When you go crying to Yizhi,
418
00:24:20,310 --> 00:24:21,480
don't blame it on me.
419
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,070
Yizhi?
420
00:24:24,270 --> 00:24:25,110
You know Mao?
421
00:24:34,310 --> 00:24:35,790
This is Mao's personal jade pendant.
422
00:24:35,790 --> 00:24:36,790
Why do you have it?
423
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,120
What did you do to Mao?
424
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,750
I abducted him.
425
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,200
I snatched it.
426
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:51,840
Hurry up and eat.
427
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:52,700
Why did you kick me?
428
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:55,160
Aren't you hungry
after fighting all night?
429
00:24:56,510 --> 00:24:58,070
I don't know what you like to eat,
430
00:24:58,070 --> 00:25:00,160
so I just grabbed some from the kitchen.
431
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:00,840
Have a taste.
432
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,900
The lamb shoulder from our small kitchen
is quite good.
433
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,040
What's wrong?
434
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,240
Nothing.
435
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,130
I just suddenly remembered
436
00:25:17,470 --> 00:25:19,360
that Cang'er used to love lamb.
437
00:25:29,790 --> 00:25:32,000
Wait. I thought about it carefully,
438
00:25:32,510 --> 00:25:34,640
and it seems to have gone too smoothly.
439
00:25:35,590 --> 00:25:36,750
You searched the whole city,
440
00:25:36,750 --> 00:25:37,960
but no one found me.
441
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,880
Then something happened in the palace.
442
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,440
Then you went to the palace
to suppress the rebellion,
443
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,900
and Mao became the Regent.
444
00:25:45,370 --> 00:25:47,100
There must be something wrong.
445
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,130
Keep analyzing.
446
00:25:51,370 --> 00:25:54,160
Father said
Prince Changsha besieged the palace,
447
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,640
Prince Qi and Young Lord Xiao entered
the palace together to suppress the rebellion,
448
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,900
and His Majesty appointed Mao as Regent.
449
00:25:59,030 --> 00:26:01,230
But Mao clearly wanted to leave with me.
450
00:26:01,270 --> 00:26:03,870
And the map
of the Prince Jing'an's Mansion...
451
00:26:05,980 --> 00:26:07,310
That was a military map,
452
00:26:07,350 --> 00:26:09,280
obviously drawn by a military man.
453
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,110
When Mao gave it to me,
454
00:26:11,110 --> 00:26:12,640
I felt something was wrong.
455
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,350
This map...
456
00:26:16,510 --> 00:26:17,550
You drew this map?
457
00:26:20,590 --> 00:26:22,750
Not bad. You're not too stupid.
458
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,480
You helped Mao and me escape?
459
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:29,590
No, no.
460
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,550
It's also possible
that you pretended to help Mao,
461
00:26:31,550 --> 00:26:33,070
but in reality, you kidnapped him
and took him to the palace,
462
00:26:33,070 --> 00:26:34,440
forcing him to become the Regent.
463
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:35,070
You even...
464
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:36,720
Stop. Cut it out.
465
00:26:37,310 --> 00:26:39,240
I think you should stop analyzing.
466
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,480
It's not impossible.
467
00:26:43,350 --> 00:26:44,880
Mao is my best friend.
468
00:26:45,390 --> 00:26:46,520
Why would I force him
469
00:26:46,550 --> 00:26:48,410
to do things he doesn't want to do?
470
00:26:49,070 --> 00:26:50,530
You are Mao's good friend,
471
00:26:50,590 --> 00:26:54,050
yet you asked the Empress Dowager
to have me marry you in court?
472
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,480
If I had known you two were...
473
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,340
I would have...
474
00:27:00,590 --> 00:27:01,190
Forget it.
475
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:05,960
"Pine and cypress stand firm in frost.
476
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,830
Wind and rain turn into dragon's roar.
477
00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:09,070
So lofty ambitions
478
00:27:09,310 --> 00:27:10,710
reach the highest peak."
479
00:27:10,750 --> 00:27:12,150
Have you heard this poem?
480
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:13,680
Mao wrote it.
481
00:27:14,110 --> 00:27:15,770
Do you know who he wrote it for?
482
00:27:16,750 --> 00:27:19,010
You're not saying it was for you, are you?
483
00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:23,310
I knew him when we were nobodies,
484
00:27:23,510 --> 00:27:24,970
much earlier than you did.
485
00:27:26,750 --> 00:27:28,200
You are sinister,
486
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,200
murderous,
487
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,220
cold-blooded, and lustful.
488
00:27:30,220 --> 00:27:32,200
Mao must have been deceived
by your appearance.
489
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,130
That's why he...
490
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:35,960
Sinister?
491
00:27:38,270 --> 00:27:39,680
Murderous?
492
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,210
Cold-blooded and lustful?
493
00:27:50,510 --> 00:27:52,000
If he weren't my friend,
494
00:27:53,310 --> 00:27:56,240
you wouldn't have the chance
to speak to me like this.
495
00:28:03,790 --> 00:28:04,640
I didn't expect Li Mao
496
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:05,840
to become the Regent.
497
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:07,800
It was a stopgap measure.
498
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,720
The situation is unstable.
499
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,400
He can't leave,
500
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,530
and neither can you.
501
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,060
From this night on,
502
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,350
you, Xie Jiayu,
503
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,920
shall be the Secondary Consort
of the Heir of Prince Jing'an.
504
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:18,920
For Li Mao's sake,
505
00:28:19,220 --> 00:28:20,950
you'd better behave yourself,
506
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,290
playing your role well.
507
00:28:23,310 --> 00:28:24,570
When the time is right,
508
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,300
I will arrange for you to meet.
509
00:28:26,790 --> 00:28:28,160
Whether you're going to stay or leave,
510
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,090
we can talk about it after you meet.
511
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,400
Xiao Wuyi.
512
00:28:33,590 --> 00:28:35,320
Are you really Li Mao's friend?
513
00:28:39,590 --> 00:28:41,050
If you want me to believe you,
514
00:28:41,050 --> 00:28:42,200
take me out of the city tonight.
515
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,550
No.
516
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,640
I am Xiao Wuyi, a murderous man.
517
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,000
So you'd better behave yourself
518
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,030
and stay put.
519
00:29:03,130 --> 00:29:03,820
-Your Highness.
-Your Highness.
520
00:29:03,820 --> 00:29:04,750
Do you want some?
521
00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:13,490
Your Highness,
is there something on your mind?
522
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,260
The Grand Tutor's appearance tonight
was unexpected.
523
00:29:21,550 --> 00:29:23,590
How did you find out
that the Young Master of Miraculous Craft
524
00:29:23,590 --> 00:29:25,640
was the one who designed
the repeating crossbow?
525
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,720
After the incident at Jiuzhang Plain,
526
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,200
you ordered us
to return to the capital immediately
527
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,720
to secretly investigate the Vice Minister
in charge of weapons manufacturing.
528
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:31,920
We found the blueprint
of the repeating crossbow
529
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,580
in Vice Minister Wei's study.
530
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,750
That blueprint had the mark
of the Young Master of Miraculous Craft.
531
00:29:36,750 --> 00:29:38,480
So we followed the clues.
532
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:39,640
Yes.
533
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,920
This Young Master of Miraculous Craft
534
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,400
is not hard to find in Jiankang.
535
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,270
He's always been selling goods
at Xiyue Restaurant.
536
00:29:44,270 --> 00:29:46,000
Although he doesn't have
a fixed stall or shop,
537
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,960
he is very close
to the owner of Xiyue Restaurant.
538
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,790
So, under the guise of doing business,
539
00:29:49,790 --> 00:29:51,790
we asked the owner to invite him out.
540
00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:53,890
And that was how you caught Xie Jiayu?
541
00:29:54,030 --> 00:29:55,720
This three-foot,
four-arrow repeating crossbow
542
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,320
was custom-made for a buyer.
543
00:29:57,350 --> 00:29:58,350
His surname is...
544
00:29:58,490 --> 00:29:59,000
Xiao.
545
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,730
And his given name is Sheng.
546
00:30:02,070 --> 00:30:05,070
But we found out that Xie Jiayu
didn't know anything about it.
547
00:30:05,070 --> 00:30:07,270
Your Highness, is there something wrong?
548
00:30:07,270 --> 00:30:08,270
Nothing is wrong.
549
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,400
It's just that all of this
550
00:30:12,310 --> 00:30:13,640
went a bit too smoothly.
551
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,830
The Empress Dowager has lived
deep in the palace for a long time.
552
00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:17,480
How could she know that there was a
553
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,720
Young Master of Miraculous Craft
in Jiankang,
554
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,110
and even know what she could
555
00:30:21,110 --> 00:30:22,310
and couldn't design?
556
00:30:23,590 --> 00:30:25,520
There must be some connection here
557
00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:27,270
that we don't know about.
558
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,900
I hope it's not what I suspect.
559
00:30:37,030 --> 00:30:38,590
Then I will continue to investigate
Xiyue Restaurant.
560
00:30:38,590 --> 00:30:39,390
Investigate?
561
00:30:39,790 --> 00:30:40,590
It's too slow.
562
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:48,270
My Lady.
563
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:49,680
Actually, I think
564
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,970
Young Lord Xiao and his 2 guards
565
00:30:52,550 --> 00:30:54,400
are not as scary as rumors say.
566
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,650
Don't believe everything he says.
567
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,240
Did you forget what happened
at Xiyue Restaurant and the ferry?
568
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,750
So you mean...
569
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,380
Who knows if this guy
is being honest with us?
570
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,880
We can't let our guard down.
571
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,590
Stay alert.
572
00:31:08,750 --> 00:31:09,240
Yes.
573
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,430
[Prince Jing'an's Mansion]
574
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:40,830
I'm so sleepy.
575
00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:50,990
Mother-in-law, Father-in-law,
576
00:31:50,990 --> 00:31:52,520
I'm here to pay my respects.
577
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:00,830
Mother-in-law, Father-in-law?
578
00:32:00,830 --> 00:32:01,680
Little beast,
579
00:32:02,070 --> 00:32:03,200
where are you going?
580
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:03,960
Darling,
581
00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:05,800
bring me my Qinglong Sword!
582
00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:08,270
I must chop this thing into pieces today!
583
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:09,680
My Lady.
584
00:32:10,550 --> 00:32:13,150
Prince Jing'an's Mansion
is indeed like hell.
585
00:32:13,510 --> 00:32:14,270
Hold it down.
586
00:32:14,590 --> 00:32:16,230
Should I chop its legs or its waist?
587
00:32:16,230 --> 00:32:17,360
Chop the head first!
588
00:32:23,070 --> 00:32:24,070
Xie, you're here?
589
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,920
Do you like
590
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,680
duck heads, wings, or legs?
591
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:41,740
Make yourself at home.
592
00:32:42,070 --> 00:32:43,600
Thank you, Mother-in-law.
593
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,310
As their newly wedded daughter-in-law,
594
00:32:47,310 --> 00:32:48,920
I wasn't asked to pay my respects
595
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:49,980
or learn any rules?
596
00:32:57,030 --> 00:32:58,070
I have military affairs to attend to.
597
00:32:58,070 --> 00:32:58,870
I'll go first.
598
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:01,210
What military affairs?
599
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,030
You must be itching
600
00:33:03,030 --> 00:33:04,200
to play cards, huh?
601
00:33:04,350 --> 00:33:05,000
Darling.
602
00:33:05,830 --> 00:33:07,690
I've been at the border for years,
603
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,350
leading troops in battles every day,
604
00:33:09,350 --> 00:33:10,880
setting an example myself.
605
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,400
I've finally returned to the capital. I...
606
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,920
I'll go back to the Northern Border
in a few days.
607
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,380
As a respectable general,
608
00:33:19,070 --> 00:33:21,000
is it really too much
to play a few rounds of cards,
609
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:21,510
Xie?
610
00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:23,310
Just a few rounds.
611
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,700
I'm telling you,
612
00:33:26,700 --> 00:33:28,000
if you lose everything,
613
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,240
don't even think about coming back home.
614
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:29,920
I won't. I won't.
615
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:30,750
I won't lose.
616
00:33:32,150 --> 00:33:32,790
Xie,
617
00:33:32,860 --> 00:33:35,010
drink less soup. It's too salty.
618
00:33:38,450 --> 00:33:40,940
The Prince used to be a stableboy,
619
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,120
and I am a butcher's daughter.
620
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,530
So there are no strict rules
in our family.
621
00:33:46,700 --> 00:33:47,700
That brat,
622
00:33:48,030 --> 00:33:49,690
why did he marry so many wives?
623
00:33:51,070 --> 00:33:52,240
We can't blame him.
624
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,550
Since you are here,
625
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,620
just stay here with peace of mind.
626
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,860
Alright, Mother-in-law.
627
00:33:58,900 --> 00:34:00,250
Drink the soup.
628
00:34:06,070 --> 00:34:07,960
The Xiao family is so strange.
629
00:34:08,630 --> 00:34:10,800
The Old Prince
doesn't look like a general at all.
630
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,280
The Princess is also strange.
631
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:13,400
As a Buddhist,
632
00:34:13,550 --> 00:34:14,590
how can she eat meat at every meal
633
00:34:14,590 --> 00:34:15,850
and not avoid killing?
634
00:34:22,230 --> 00:34:23,090
Your Highness.
635
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,630
The Northern Border is cold.
636
00:34:24,630 --> 00:34:25,800
I had people skin
637
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,280
20 white foxes
638
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,590
to make 2 cloaks.
639
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,480
I'll have them sent
to Prince Jing'an's Mansion after court
640
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,800
as my farewell gift.
641
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,719
You are about to return
to the Northern Border.
642
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,360
We haven't got a chance
to catch up with the Old Prince yet.
643
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,190
Why don't we find a time
to hold a banquet?
644
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:42,730
Who said I'm going back?
645
00:34:43,989 --> 00:34:45,409
Are you all hoping
646
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,400
I'll return to the Northern Border soon,
647
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,440
so you can live a life of pleasure
in Jiankang,
648
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,770
getting lost in comfort
649
00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:53,400
and never thinking of returning north?
650
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:54,130
In that case,
651
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,320
let me tell you now—
652
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,610
I'm not returning to the Northern Border
for now.
653
00:35:01,510 --> 00:35:04,320
The Empress Dowager is here!
654
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,190
Greetings, Empress Dowager.
Greetings, Your Highness.
655
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:20,190
You may rise.
656
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,220
Young Lord Xiao was right.
657
00:35:28,590 --> 00:35:29,760
In the battle at Jiuzhang Plain,
658
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,440
Northern Qin lost despite outnumbering us.
659
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,000
The Emperor of Northern Qin was furious,
660
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,440
and the Eagle King, commander
of the Black Eagle Army, was demoted.
661
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,850
The Emperor of Northern Qin
sent an envoy for peace talks,
662
00:35:37,850 --> 00:35:38,690
and I agreed.
663
00:35:39,510 --> 00:35:41,400
At that time, we will need Young Lord Xiao
664
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,510
to preside over the peace talks
in Jiankang.
665
00:35:43,510 --> 00:35:45,800
Hasn't Young Lord Xiao been focusing
on the northern expedition?
666
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,790
I'll do my expedition,
667
00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:47,990
and you do your talks.
668
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:49,920
These two things
can proceed at the same time.
669
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,030
And we can continue the expedition
after the talks.
670
00:35:51,030 --> 00:35:52,360
What's wrong with that?
671
00:35:52,670 --> 00:35:54,250
But what about
the Beifu soldiers outside the city?
672
00:35:54,250 --> 00:35:57,250
The Northern Qin peace talks
are fraught with danger.
673
00:35:58,110 --> 00:36:00,360
In my opinion, during the peace talks,
674
00:36:00,510 --> 00:36:02,870
the Beifu Army
still needs to garrison Jiankang
675
00:36:02,870 --> 00:36:05,400
to ensure the safety of His Majesty
and the Empress Dowager.
676
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,840
What do you think, Your Majesty?
677
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:07,840
Young Lord Xiao,
678
00:36:08,630 --> 00:36:12,290
are you going to leave the army
at the Northern Border unattended?
679
00:36:14,550 --> 00:36:16,400
Your Majesty, you don't need to worry.
680
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,760
After the Double Ninth Festival sacrifice,
681
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,360
my father will immediately return to
the Northern Border to command the army.
682
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:21,550
During the peace talks,
683
00:36:21,550 --> 00:36:24,000
we will never let the border
be taken advantage of by others.
684
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,480
Rest assured, Your Majesty.
685
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,550
Prince Jing'an and Young Lord Xiao
have thought things through.
686
00:36:29,550 --> 00:36:30,590
That's good.
687
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,400
I also plan to pray
for the sacrificed Beifu soldiers
688
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,060
at the Double Ninth Ceremony.
689
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,070
The Beifu soldiers
stationed outside the city
690
00:36:37,070 --> 00:36:38,510
should also participate.
691
00:36:38,510 --> 00:36:40,440
What do you think, Young Lord Xiao?
692
00:36:40,550 --> 00:36:43,010
Yes, Your Majesty.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
693
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:45,670
If there's nothing else,
694
00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:46,730
I'll take my leave.
695
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:53,600
Your Majesty,
696
00:36:53,710 --> 00:36:55,370
I will see Young Lord Xiao out.
697
00:37:06,070 --> 00:37:06,760
Wonderful.
698
00:37:07,090 --> 00:37:07,890
With you in Jiankang,
699
00:37:07,890 --> 00:37:08,690
I'm relieved.
700
00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:11,360
How is she?
701
00:37:13,230 --> 00:37:15,510
She probably wants
to poison me to death right now,
702
00:37:15,510 --> 00:37:16,800
but for your sake,
703
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,260
she hasn't done it yet.
704
00:37:18,470 --> 00:37:19,510
If you dare bully her,
705
00:37:19,510 --> 00:37:20,570
I won't let you off.
706
00:37:22,290 --> 00:37:23,220
I wouldn't dare.
707
00:37:25,230 --> 00:37:26,160
Young Lord Xiao.
708
00:37:27,070 --> 00:37:29,070
Lady Xie is the beloved daughter
of my master.
709
00:37:29,070 --> 00:37:32,000
And this marriage was granted
by the Empress Dowager.
710
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,190
Whether you like it or not,
711
00:37:33,190 --> 00:37:34,800
you should treat her well.
712
00:37:35,070 --> 00:37:35,710
Yes.
713
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,070
Lady Xie is well-educated
714
00:37:38,090 --> 00:37:39,090
and gentle.
715
00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:40,400
She is proficient
716
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,440
in all kinds of women's skills,
717
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,400
as well as poetry and history.
718
00:37:43,550 --> 00:37:45,190
I will treat her well.
719
00:37:45,870 --> 00:37:48,030
And I thank the Empress Dowager
for granting the marriage.
720
00:37:48,030 --> 00:37:49,760
I heard the pear blossom candy
at Chengyi Hall in the south of the city
721
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,000
is especially delicious.
722
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,670
The ladies in Jiankang are crazy about it.
723
00:37:52,670 --> 00:37:55,800
Whenever they are in a bad mood,
they will buy some to eat.
724
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,400
If you're in a bad mood,
725
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,090
you might as well try it.
726
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:00,970
I don't like sweets,
727
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:02,510
I'm not a lady,
728
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,930
and I'm in a pretty good mood today.
729
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,360
I didn't ask you to eat it.
730
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:07,800
Got it.
731
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:09,330
So annoying.
732
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,640
You have served His Majesty and
the Empress Dowager for many years.
733
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,230
You are the head
of the eunuchs in the palace,
734
00:38:18,230 --> 00:38:20,190
so naturally you are a sensible person.
735
00:38:20,190 --> 00:38:21,550
The peace in Southern Ye today
736
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:23,320
does not depend on good weather,
737
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,110
nor on the kindness of the people,
738
00:38:25,110 --> 00:38:28,040
but on me and the Beifu soldiers
guarding the border.
739
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,400
The Empress Dowager and I are now at peace
740
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,600
because we have Prince Qi as the Regent.
741
00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:35,230
I hope you can remind the Empress Dowager
742
00:38:35,230 --> 00:38:38,230
not to follow the disastrous path
of Prince Changsha.
743
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,480
If Prince Qi doesn't even have freedom,
744
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,280
wouldn't it be a joke
to the envoys of Northern Qin?
745
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,780
That's what Young Lord Xiao said.
746
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:51,200
Your Majesty,
747
00:38:51,670 --> 00:38:53,330
what Young Lord Xiao meant was
748
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,460
that the court and the harem
should value peace.
749
00:38:56,670 --> 00:38:58,800
He kept the Beifu soldiers in Jiankang
750
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,440
to protect you and His Majesty.
751
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:02,760
He and my brother...
752
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,000
When have I ever blamed Young Lord Xiao?
753
00:39:07,500 --> 00:39:08,540
Well,
754
00:39:09,290 --> 00:39:10,690
who taught you the rules?
755
00:39:11,770 --> 00:39:13,590
My sister and I
have been orphans since childhood
756
00:39:13,590 --> 00:39:14,590
and had only each other.
757
00:39:14,590 --> 00:39:16,920
She has neglected her etiquette studies.
758
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,060
Please don't be angry, Your Majesty.
759
00:39:20,510 --> 00:39:21,170
Never mind.
760
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,960
From now on, you will live with me
761
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,280
in Ziji Palace,
762
00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:28,360
learning the rules for a few years,
763
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,920
so you can find a good match.
764
00:39:31,110 --> 00:39:31,590
Your Majesty...
765
00:39:31,590 --> 00:39:33,280
Since she has neglected her etiquette,
766
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,010
she should be properly taught.
767
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,600
In the future,
768
00:39:41,190 --> 00:39:43,190
she will become the Grand Princess,
769
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,480
the face of our Ye.
770
00:39:46,410 --> 00:39:48,740
If she is so ignorant of proper etiquette,
771
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,690
wouldn't the world laugh at our Ye
for having no sense of propriety?
772
00:39:52,780 --> 00:39:55,260
Not to mention she is already of age.
773
00:39:56,030 --> 00:39:56,880
You two
774
00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:59,740
shouldn't live
in the same palace anymore anyway.
775
00:39:59,740 --> 00:40:00,530
He Tian,
776
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,840
take Princess Pingning
to the Eastern Palace to pack her things
777
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,900
and move to Ziji Palace immediately.
778
00:40:07,150 --> 00:40:08,230
From today on,
779
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:09,480
I
780
00:40:10,570 --> 00:40:13,370
will personally teach her
the rules of the palace.
781
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:14,150
Yes.
782
00:40:16,150 --> 00:40:16,710
Your—
783
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:19,550
Yes, Your Majesty.
784
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:21,960
To be taught by you
785
00:40:22,110 --> 00:40:23,320
is my blessing.
786
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:29,730
Lejun.
787
00:40:40,330 --> 00:40:41,990
What are you still doing here?
788
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,810
You'll be offering sacrifices
789
00:40:43,810 --> 00:40:45,790
on behalf of His Majesty
at the Double Ninth Ceremony.
790
00:40:45,790 --> 00:40:48,650
Have you learned all the etiquette
and procedures?
791
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:07,670
Fight,
792
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:09,960
scramble,
793
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:12,320
and struggle.
794
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,260
Now that you've stepped into
the storm of Jiankang,
795
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,410
who here isn't making moves
with their lives at stake
796
00:41:22,190 --> 00:41:25,050
while pretending every day
that they want nothing?
797
00:41:26,110 --> 00:41:27,320
Life is so boring.
798
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,150
Little fish, tell me.
799
00:41:36,710 --> 00:41:39,150
Will they turn on their own kin first,
800
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,960
or will they start fighting
among themselves,
801
00:41:45,670 --> 00:41:46,630
or will
802
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,080
those who love each other
end up killing one another?
803
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:51,510
Have you ever thought that this scheme
804
00:41:51,510 --> 00:41:52,970
would ruin Yaoyao's life?
805
00:41:55,710 --> 00:41:56,670
Xie Jiayu
806
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,610
is nothing but a stranger to me.
807
00:42:01,510 --> 00:42:02,320
Wuyi,
808
00:42:03,110 --> 00:42:05,710
when you saved me
among the refugees back then,
809
00:42:06,030 --> 00:42:07,230
we were also strangers.
