193
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:40,760
What's wrong?
194
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:42,720
You walking in here without saying a word
195
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,000
is scarier than when you stumble in
196
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,030
covered in blood.
197
00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:49,200
You said before
that the blood stasis in my brain
198
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,660
would affect my lifespan.
199
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,750
You'll go blind in two or three years,
200
00:12:53,750 --> 00:12:56,080
and you'll die within three to five years.
201
00:13:01,910 --> 00:13:03,480
Can you help me live longer?
202
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,440
Didn't you say
203
00:13:08,870 --> 00:13:10,600
three to five years was enough?
204
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,560
Why do you suddenly want to live longer?
205
00:13:13,810 --> 00:13:14,870
Can you or not?
206
00:13:23,390 --> 00:13:24,270
Yes,
207
00:13:25,030 --> 00:13:26,490
as long as you listen to me.
208
00:13:32,270 --> 00:13:33,550
If it's a key,
209
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,390
what does it unlock?
210
00:13:35,820 --> 00:13:38,550
It would still require
all 4 pieces put together.
211
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,000
Cui Jun only had one piece
212
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,360
and found one of the mines.
213
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,840
This means it's not a key,
214
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,400
but the totem itself.
215
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,000
The Phoenix Imperial Seal was reforged
into the form of the Vermilion Bird,
216
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,630
with its head and tail
forming a complete whole.
217
00:13:54,630 --> 00:13:56,630
What secret lies within this totem?
218
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,390
Yuanji?
219
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,270
I'm really seeing things.
220
00:14:04,270 --> 00:14:05,600
How could it be Yuanji?
221
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:08,710
My Lady,
222
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,720
drink it while it's warm.
223
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,080
It clears heat and improves vision.
224
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,080
I just got these herbs from Qing Long.
225
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,200
From Qing Long?
226
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,030
What's wrong with his eyes?
227
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:19,030
It's because of Cui Jun's kidnapping.
228
00:14:19,030 --> 00:14:20,870
Qing Long was in charge
of keeping the key.
229
00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:22,550
He said the key was never lost.
230
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Even when sleeping,
231
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,510
he kept it close to him.
232
00:14:25,510 --> 00:14:26,480
But the lock
233
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,080
had no signs of being pried.
234
00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:30,480
Qing Long said that unless he was blind,
235
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,140
it couldn't have happened
without him knowing.
236
00:14:33,670 --> 00:14:34,550
Yuanji.
237
00:14:35,290 --> 00:14:37,320
What's wrong with the Heir's Consort?
238
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,150
She is the Empress Dowager's niece.
239
00:14:39,150 --> 00:14:41,740
Why are you saying
such strange things, My Lady?
240
00:14:41,740 --> 00:14:42,740
Of course, she
241
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,560
is the Empress Dowager's niece.
242
00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:47,150
No.
243
00:14:47,270 --> 00:14:48,870
That's not right, Xie Jiayu.
244
00:14:48,870 --> 00:14:50,270
How could you think that?
245
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,580
Yuanji treats you so well.
246
00:14:53,390 --> 00:14:54,360
How could she?
247
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,400
I told you I'm already thinking of a way.
248
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,000
Her Majesty misses her sister.
249
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,420
[He Yuanji's Father]
[He Yuanji's Mother]
250
00:15:11,510 --> 00:15:13,510
She invites your mother
to the palace for a chat.
251
00:15:13,510 --> 00:15:15,040
She'll be back in a few days.
252
00:15:15,470 --> 00:15:18,160
I just came to inform Your Highness.
253
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,080
The Empress Dowager has gone too far.
254
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:21,960
Over the years,
255
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,030
Her Majesty let you stay
at Prince Jing'an's Mansion
256
00:15:24,030 --> 00:15:25,270
without doing anything,
257
00:15:25,270 --> 00:15:27,360
only to deliver a fatal blow today.
258
00:15:27,790 --> 00:15:28,790
No matter what,
259
00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:30,590
you are a member of the He family.
260
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,200
The lives of hundreds
of people in your family
261
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:34,840
are in Her Majesty's hands.
262
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,030
You'd better weigh your options carefully.
263
00:15:37,030 --> 00:15:38,910
I already helped
Her Majesty kidnap Cui Jun.
264
00:15:38,910 --> 00:15:40,480
How can I get the Phoenix Heart Token now?
265
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,010
You figure it out yourself.
266
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,550
I heard Your Highness
267
00:15:43,550 --> 00:15:45,970
has been visiting
Zhengtong Bookstore frequently lately.
268
00:15:45,970 --> 00:15:47,790
Is there someone there who reminds you
of an old acquaintance,
269
00:15:47,790 --> 00:15:50,030
someone you still hold dear?
270
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,360
If you refuse to find a way,
271
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,480
Her Majesty will find one herself.
272
00:16:00,790 --> 00:16:01,840
The place where Cui Jun was held
273
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,650
was His Highness's
hidden house in Jiankang.
274
00:16:03,650 --> 00:16:04,390
No one could escape from there,
275
00:16:04,390 --> 00:16:05,550
and no one even knows it exists.
276
00:16:05,550 --> 00:16:06,510
Cui Jun lost a hand,
277
00:16:06,510 --> 00:16:07,840
yet he vanished into thin air.
278
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,910
It's like something out of a ghost story.
279
00:16:08,910 --> 00:16:09,600
There is only one key
280
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,670
to the hidden house in the world,
281
00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:12,480
and His Highness entrusted it to me.
282
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,540
I swear upon Heaven
283
00:16:13,630 --> 00:16:14,670
that I never leaked the key,
284
00:16:14,670 --> 00:16:16,270
nor did I help Cui Jun escape.
285
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,120
On the day of the palace banquet,
286
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,550
His Highness traded the Phoenix Heart Token
for the Cui family's mines.
287
00:16:21,550 --> 00:16:22,960
The noble families didn't get a share.
288
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,150
They thought they had suffered a loss,
289
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:25,870
so they joined forces
to accuse His Highness,
290
00:16:25,870 --> 00:16:28,230
saying his reform
of Beifu was for himself.
291
00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:29,320
These old geezers
292
00:16:29,790 --> 00:16:31,200
are clearly making a fuss over nothing
293
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,460
to frame His Highness.
294
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,000
He really didn't do it himself?
295
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Oh, Lady Xie.
296
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:35,790
Alright.
297
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,750
Calm down.
298
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,770
I believe it wasn't him.
299
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,630
But it's indeed quite suspicious.
300
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,200
Hiding the person on purpose
301
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,600
to see how everyone reacts.
302
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,510
Would you call this a feint
or taking advantage of the chaos
303
00:16:47,510 --> 00:16:48,750
in military strategy?
304
00:16:48,750 --> 00:16:50,000
Not this time.
305
00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:51,840
Then Xiao Wuyi
306
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,600
just going to let them frame him?
307
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,270
Hasn't His Highness always been like this?
308
00:16:55,270 --> 00:16:57,510
He never cares what others say or think.
309
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,480
My Lady,
310
00:17:06,109 --> 00:17:08,770
the Heir's Consort
is indeed not in the mansion.
311
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,290
Outsiders had no chance to get near it,
312
00:17:13,589 --> 00:17:15,450
but what if it was someone inside?
313
00:17:21,310 --> 00:17:21,829
Anmin.
314
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,680
You went to the bookstore again?
315
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,589
I found another
316
00:17:27,589 --> 00:17:29,260
extremely precious ancient book today.
317
00:17:29,260 --> 00:17:29,820
Right,
318
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,200
I also found some ancient books
on canal building.
319
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,070
They were left by craftsmen
who followed Li Luhai
320
00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:35,920
when they built the Qin Canal in the past.
321
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,350
You currently hold
322
00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:39,400
the position overseeing the construction
of the new canal.
323
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,070
These books
324
00:17:41,070 --> 00:17:42,070
might also be very important to you.
325
00:17:42,070 --> 00:17:44,130
I'll have them copied and sent to you.
326
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,300
I didn't expect you to keep it in mind.
327
00:17:46,750 --> 00:17:48,790
But it's chaotic outside these few days.
328
00:17:48,790 --> 00:17:50,050
You should go out less.
329
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:53,960
Got it.
330
00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:56,350
Yuanji.
331
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,530
Is there anything else?
332
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,490
Bring more people
with you when you go out.
333
00:18:04,510 --> 00:18:05,030
Okay.
334
00:18:25,310 --> 00:18:26,840
I'm not playing Go with you.
335
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:28,830
You're even worse at Go than Father.
336
00:18:28,830 --> 00:18:29,760
I'm in a bad mood.
337
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,940
Play a game with me.
338
00:18:32,110 --> 00:18:33,510
Rather than spending your time here,
339
00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:35,480
why don't you just be honest with her?
340
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:36,640
It's been five years.
341
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:37,920
Anmin, you really know
how to drag things out.
342
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,400
You—
343
00:18:39,270 --> 00:18:39,920
Xiao Wuyi.
344
00:18:40,610 --> 00:18:41,830
She is your Consort.
345
00:18:42,790 --> 00:18:45,320
You never care
about having a bad reputation,
346
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:47,010
but she's a woman.
347
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:48,830
Can she not care?
348
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:50,400
If I tell her,
349
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,440
how can she gain a foothold
in Jiankang?
350
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,410
She is not as pedantic as you.
351
00:18:55,740 --> 00:18:56,260
You.
352
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,170
What is this?
353
00:19:06,750 --> 00:19:09,080
I've already given her the divorce paper.
354
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,240
She is free now.
355
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,000
Don't blame me for not reminding you.
356
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,120
If you don't make a move soon,
357
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:15,180
they might rekindle their old flame,
358
00:19:15,180 --> 00:19:16,990
and you'll regret it when it's too late.
359
00:19:16,990 --> 00:19:18,430
Liu Zhaolin is really...
360
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,910
The Heir's Consort has gone out again?
361
00:19:38,910 --> 00:19:40,200
Yes, she just left.
362
00:19:40,950 --> 00:19:43,610
Quick, take off your clothes
and give them to me.
363
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,200
The old rules.
364
00:19:45,310 --> 00:19:46,910
Do exactly as you did before.
365
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,610
No matter who comes later,
366
00:19:48,610 --> 00:19:49,810
just pretend to be me.
367
00:19:54,170 --> 00:19:55,990
[Zhengtong Bookstore]
368
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,960
I didn't expect Your Highness
369
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,640
to have such insight and literary talent.
370
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,500
I am impressed.
371
00:19:58,790 --> 00:19:59,920
You flatter me, sir.
372
00:20:00,350 --> 00:20:01,070
Thanks to
373
00:20:01,070 --> 00:20:03,130
the books you copied for me last time,
374
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,590
I benefited a lot.
375
00:20:05,310 --> 00:20:07,480
But I still have a few doubts here.
376
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:09,590
I hope you can explain them to me.
377
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,610
Confucius said,
378
00:20:11,790 --> 00:20:15,000
"Zilu, do you understand
what true knowledge is?
379
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,590
To know what you know, and admit
380
00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:19,070
what you do not know—
381
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,120
that is true wisdom."
382
00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:39,880
Have you ever been to Yingzhou?
383
00:20:41,660 --> 00:20:42,350
No.
384
00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:45,050
Why the question?
385
00:20:46,790 --> 00:20:49,510
It's just that you look
386
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:51,620
exactly like a friend of mine.
387
00:20:52,030 --> 00:20:53,310
He was from Yingzhou.
388
00:20:54,550 --> 00:20:56,240
Is it Mr. Pei?
389
00:20:56,430 --> 00:20:57,260
Yes.
390
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,200
He has passed away.
391
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,240
I see.
392
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,720
The Pei family in Yingzhou
is a prominent family.
393
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,680
Young Master Pei must also come
from a prestigious family
394
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,790
and be a man of extraordinary talent.
395
00:21:10,790 --> 00:21:11,960
I am just a commoner,
396
00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:15,010
and dare not compare myself with him.
397
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,960
Yuanji is meeting her lover here?
398
00:21:45,670 --> 00:21:46,800
Sorry to interrupt.
399
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:53,210
Nanxing?
400
00:21:54,350 --> 00:21:56,240
Your Highness, My Lady is missing.
401
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,920
She suspects
402
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,920
that the Heir's Consort might be involved
in Cui Jun's disappearance.
403
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,030
Today, when the Heir's Consort went out,
404
00:22:00,030 --> 00:22:01,270
she followed her.
405
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,570
I knew it was related to her.
406
00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:05,150
Why did she get involved?
407
00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:07,200
Your Highness, you really knew it?
408
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,460
I didn't know you knew.
409
00:22:08,590 --> 00:22:09,850
When Lady Xie asked me,
410
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,830
I even said with absolute certainty
that you didn't know.
411
00:22:12,830 --> 00:22:13,440
At 5 p.m.,
412
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,880
the Heir's Consort had already returned.
413
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,500
But My Lady hasn't returned yet.
414
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:17,350
Where are the Shadow Envoys?
415
00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:19,790
My Lady found a way to unlock the secret
of the Phoenix Heart Token.
416
00:22:19,790 --> 00:22:21,290
But she needs the Shadow Envoys
to leave the city to confirm it.
417
00:22:21,290 --> 00:22:22,630
The ones who should be here are absent.
418
00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:25,630
And the ones who shouldn't be here
are running around.
419
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,400
If you want to see Xie Jiayu alive,
420
00:22:40,730 --> 00:22:43,460
bring all the Phoenix Heart Tokens
to Antai Gate.
421
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:58,300
My little lady,
422
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,600
you've been drugged.
423
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,790
Don't waste your energy.
424
00:23:02,790 --> 00:23:04,640
Cui Jun, why did you kidnap me?
425
00:23:10,030 --> 00:23:11,200
I once had an eagle
426
00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:12,070
named Mingdi.
427
00:23:14,350 --> 00:23:16,950
I found it
when I was tending the herd as a child.
428
00:23:17,030 --> 00:23:18,640
It was shot by a hunter
429
00:23:19,310 --> 00:23:20,270
and was dying.
430
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,310
I saved it.
431
00:23:22,590 --> 00:23:24,510
Since then, it has always been with me.
432
00:23:24,510 --> 00:23:25,750
But since I came to Southern Ye,
433
00:23:25,750 --> 00:23:26,810
it's been 20 years.
434
00:23:27,310 --> 00:23:28,750
I've never seen it again.
435
00:23:30,270 --> 00:23:31,590
It must be dead.
436
00:23:32,030 --> 00:23:33,200
Or it was caught by someone,
437
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,260
cooked, and eaten.
438
00:23:34,790 --> 00:23:35,590
Or its feathers were
439
00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:36,590
plucked one by one
440
00:23:36,660 --> 00:23:37,490
to make a fan.
441
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:43,480
Don't bother.
442
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:47,720
Stop!
443
00:23:48,310 --> 00:23:49,510
Take one more step,
444
00:23:49,630 --> 00:23:51,230
and this little girl is dead.
445
00:23:51,270 --> 00:23:51,880
Jiayu!
446
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:52,510
Cui Jun,
447
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:53,640
let her go.
448
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,040
Xie Jiayu is just a woman.
449
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,550
Whatever happens
450
00:23:56,820 --> 00:23:58,070
has nothing to do with her.
451
00:23:58,070 --> 00:24:00,720
How could the woman cherished
by both His Highness and the Regent
452
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,320
have nothing to do with this?
453
00:24:02,350 --> 00:24:03,790
Put your weapons down!
454
00:24:18,030 --> 00:24:19,830
You brought the Phoenix Heart Token,
right?
455
00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:20,790
Of course.
456
00:24:22,830 --> 00:24:23,550
Cui Jun,
457
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,070
even if you get the tokens,
458
00:24:25,070 --> 00:24:26,510
you won't be able to escape.
459
00:24:26,510 --> 00:24:27,770
Who said I'm escaping?
460
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:29,920
Xiao Wuyi,
461
00:24:30,310 --> 00:24:31,720
you and Xie Jiayu put on
462
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,720
a good show.
463
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,070
The token used to frame Li Lejun
464
00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:37,280
belongs to the Xiao family, right?
465
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,080
And Her Highness's token
466
00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:40,920
is still in Li Mao's hands.
467
00:24:41,270 --> 00:24:41,930
It's yours.
468
00:24:46,550 --> 00:24:47,880
As long as you let her go,
469
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,110
I will trade my life for hers.
470
00:24:51,750 --> 00:24:54,510
It seems Prince Qi really cares for you.
471
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:56,860
He didn't hesitate at all.
472
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:58,200
Xiao Wuyi,
473
00:24:59,030 --> 00:25:00,030
what about yours?
474
00:25:02,110 --> 00:25:03,970
I do have the Phoenix Heart Token.
475
00:25:05,270 --> 00:25:07,070
But what if I don't give it to you?
476
00:25:08,750 --> 00:25:09,480
Little girl.
477
00:25:10,650 --> 00:25:12,110
Prince Qi is a good choice.
478
00:25:13,110 --> 00:25:14,240
Xiao Wuyi is no good.
479
00:25:14,270 --> 00:25:15,310
In his eyes,
480
00:25:15,910 --> 00:25:17,570
you're not even worth a token.
481
00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:18,350
Wuyi.
482
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,500
Yaoyao is in his hands.
483
00:25:20,590 --> 00:25:24,030
Whoever you choose to die today will die.
484
00:25:24,670 --> 00:25:25,590
I won't choose.
485
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:26,400
Choose one.
486
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,050
One is willing to give up the
Phoenix Heart Token for you.
487
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,120
The other doesn't care about you at all.
488
00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:36,110
Xiao Wuyi.
489
00:25:36,420 --> 00:25:36,900
I...
490
00:25:37,270 --> 00:25:38,110
Let me go!
491
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:39,720
Jiayu.
492
00:25:41,030 --> 00:25:41,880
Make a choice.
493
00:25:43,070 --> 00:25:44,270
No one will blame you.
494
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,310
Ashina Qi.
495
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,830
Why make things difficult for her?
496
00:26:04,830 --> 00:26:07,110
I will naturally give you
the Phoenix Heart Token.
497
00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:09,580
You used the Phoenix Heart Token
to drive a wedge
498
00:26:09,580 --> 00:26:11,770
between the court and its ministers.
499
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,080
Since that's the case...
500
00:26:19,220 --> 00:26:20,400
Xiao Wuyi, stop!
501
00:26:20,430 --> 00:26:21,630
I will choose for you!
502
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,310
I will take...
503
00:26:24,510 --> 00:26:25,510
Prince Qi's life.
504
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,270
Good.
505
00:26:26,830 --> 00:26:27,830
If you kill him,
506
00:26:28,070 --> 00:26:29,670
I'll let this little girl go.
507
00:26:30,350 --> 00:26:30,950
Prince Qi,
508
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,240
didn't you say
509
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,840
you're willing
to trade your life for hers?
510
00:26:35,010 --> 00:26:36,280
I'll grant your wish.
511
00:26:36,310 --> 00:26:37,640
Xiao Wuyi, stop!
512
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,310
Xiao Wuyi, I knew
I was right about you.
513
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,020
You really have no respect
for the ruler or your father!
514
00:26:44,270 --> 00:26:45,000
Xiao Wuyi!
515
00:26:45,510 --> 00:26:46,910
He is the current Regent.
516
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,240
This is the Antai Gate.
517
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,530
Are you trying to rebel?
518
00:26:49,530 --> 00:26:50,450
Stop talking.
519
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:52,440
If Xiao Wuyi really wants to rebel,
520
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,070
are you going to fight him to the death?
521
00:26:54,070 --> 00:26:55,000
Xiao Wuyi,
522
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,960
if you dare to shoot,
523
00:26:57,060 --> 00:26:58,770
it will be an act of regicide.
524
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,310
Tell me,
525
00:27:40,550 --> 00:27:41,610
who kidnapped you?
526
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,400
Mingdi.
527
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,710
It has always been here.
528
00:28:02,030 --> 00:28:04,160
It's here to take me home.
529
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,070
Mingdi.
530
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,720
My Mingdi.
531
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,000
Xiao Wuyi
532
00:28:28,270 --> 00:28:30,930
still didn't bring out
the Phoenix Heart Token.
533
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,480
Li Mao is still not as calm
and steady as Xiao Wuyi.
534
00:28:36,110 --> 00:28:38,830
That arrow aimed at Prince Qi
was always meant to be fired.
535
00:28:38,830 --> 00:28:41,000
Now, everyone in the court
536
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,260
saw Xiao Wuyi shoot an arrow at Prince Qi.
537
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,350
Such disloyalty and treason...
538
00:28:45,350 --> 00:28:47,070
what a pleasant surprise.
539
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,480
Your Majesty, by releasing Cui Jun,
540
00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:51,270
you have achieved two goals at once.
541
00:28:51,270 --> 00:28:52,070
It's truly brilliant.
542
00:28:52,070 --> 00:28:53,130
Really brilliant.
543
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:54,720
Her Majesty
544
00:28:55,270 --> 00:28:57,310
doesn't want to keep dragging this out
with you
545
00:28:57,310 --> 00:28:59,440
and is willing to give you two ways out.
546
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,480
One,
547
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,510
die right now.
548
00:29:03,310 --> 00:29:04,400
The other,
549
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,200
let you out.
550
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,270
Out?
551
00:29:08,070 --> 00:29:09,930
As a secret agent of Northern Qin,
552
00:29:10,310 --> 00:29:11,510
you've done so much.
553
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,510
You just want to see Ye in chaos, right?
554
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,830
Now, Her Majesty is willing
to give you this chance.
555
00:29:25,750 --> 00:29:26,550
Your Majesty,
556
00:29:27,110 --> 00:29:30,200
are you still going to get rid
of Prince Qi?
557
00:29:31,030 --> 00:29:31,720
I think
558
00:29:32,420 --> 00:29:33,950
it's better to win him over.
559
00:29:35,510 --> 00:29:39,110
Look at Li Lejun. She used to pretend
to be so obedient and harmless.
560
00:29:39,110 --> 00:29:39,920
And now?
561
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,350
Whether it's Li Mao or Li Lejun,
562
00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:45,480
they are nothing but wolves
in sheep's clothing.
563
00:29:45,550 --> 00:29:47,310
It's fine that they have yet
to fully spread their wings.
564
00:29:47,310 --> 00:29:48,590
But, if the day comes
565
00:29:48,750 --> 00:29:50,110
when Li Mao uses the Beifu Reform
566
00:29:50,110 --> 00:29:51,510
to establish his own authority,
567
00:29:51,510 --> 00:29:53,240
where would you and His Majesty
568
00:29:53,270 --> 00:29:54,720
stand?
569
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,830
Young Lord Xiao,
570
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,120
[Ziji Palace]
571
00:30:00,110 --> 00:30:01,960
Her Majesty is angry.
572
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,220
Not only because
you pointed your arrow at Prince Qi today,
573
00:30:06,310 --> 00:30:08,000
breaking the rules of a subject,
574
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,070
but also because you and Lady Xie
575
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:11,750
committed the crime
of deceiving the throne.
576
00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:12,920
How is this deceiving the throne?
577
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:13,750
Lady Xie,
578
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,070
His Highness Prince Qi
has already handed over
579
00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:17,640
the third Phoenix Heart Token.
580
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,510
His token
581
00:30:18,510 --> 00:30:20,840
is the one Li Lejun took
from Her Highness.
582
00:30:21,270 --> 00:30:24,350
Then where did the Phoenix Heart Token
that appeared
583
00:30:24,350 --> 00:30:26,150
at the palace banquet come from?
584
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,540
You and Young Lord Xiao, in order
to catch the murderer,
585
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,380
even dared to use Her Majesty
as part of your plan.
586
00:30:31,380 --> 00:30:33,520
Isn't this deceiving the throne?
587
00:30:34,550 --> 00:30:35,480
Xiao Wuyi,
588
00:30:36,830 --> 00:30:37,960
do you plead guilty?
589
00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:40,310
Your Majesty,
590
00:30:40,550 --> 00:30:41,830
the Phoenix Heart Token from that day
591
00:30:41,830 --> 00:30:43,790
was indeed granted
by Empress Wenxi to my father
592
00:30:43,790 --> 00:30:44,990
and passed down to me.
593
00:30:45,550 --> 00:30:46,810
To catch the murderer,
594
00:30:47,030 --> 00:30:48,160
I used Your Majesty.
595
00:30:48,510 --> 00:30:49,370
I plead guilty.
596
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,230
But Xie Jiayu was only acting out
of concern for her mother.
597
00:30:53,230 --> 00:30:54,230
She meant no harm.
598
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,050
And the injustice she presented
was not a false accusation.
599
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,160
Please show mercy, Your Majesty.
600
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,510
I am willing to take the punishment
for Lady Xie as well.
601
00:31:02,510 --> 00:31:04,070
Such devotion.
602
00:31:04,510 --> 00:31:06,040
Then I will grant your wish.
603
00:31:07,110 --> 00:31:08,240
You shall
604
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,940
take her flogging as well.
605
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,800
Thank you, Your Majesty.
606
00:31:17,770 --> 00:31:19,100
No, I plead guilty, too.
607
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:20,740
Let's split it half and half.
608
00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:23,400
You shouldn't
take the beating all by yourself.
609
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:36,310
Start it.
610
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,940
Begin the punishment.
611
00:32:02,270 --> 00:32:02,960
Xiao Wuyi!
612
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,640
Lady Xie,
613
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,080
if you stop it,
614
00:32:09,110 --> 00:32:10,880
it will not only be deceiving the throne
615
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,940
but also defying an imperial decree.
616
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:16,560
Continue.
617
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,440
Xiao Wuyi!
618
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:20,830
No!
619
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,400
No!
620
00:32:29,110 --> 00:32:31,110
Do you understand what it means
to be ruler and subject?
621
00:32:31,110 --> 00:32:32,350
You were born to be a ruler.
622
00:32:32,350 --> 00:32:34,680
If you refuse to become Crown Prince Wenxi
623
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:36,590
and sit on that throne in Jiankang Palace,
624
00:32:36,590 --> 00:32:38,000
choosing instead
to remain a subject for life
625
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,510
even with Beifu Army in your hands,
626
00:32:39,510 --> 00:32:41,160
you will still be feared and restrained
by others all your life.
627
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,880
Your every move will be constrained.
628
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,070
If I sit on that throne,
629
00:32:44,070 --> 00:32:45,870
will I be free from constraints?
630
00:32:47,070 --> 00:32:48,300
With the noble families
controlling the military,
631
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:49,680
whoever sits in that position
632
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,070
will inevitably be constrained.
633
00:32:51,070 --> 00:32:52,870
That's why I established Beifu,
634
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,830
an army that doesn't belong
to the noble families.
635
00:32:55,830 --> 00:32:56,920
I want countless common-born talents
636
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,880
to have the chance to make their mark
and find a place in this world.
637
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,590
Even if the noble families
638
00:32:59,590 --> 00:33:01,320
can never truly be suppressed,
639
00:33:01,370 --> 00:33:02,830
I still want to bring fresh blood
640
00:33:02,830 --> 00:33:03,760
into Ye's court.
641
00:33:06,830 --> 00:33:08,690
There are many things I need to do,
642
00:33:10,790 --> 00:33:12,520
but I don't have much time left.
643
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:13,810
What do you mean?
644
00:33:14,510 --> 00:33:16,480
I was injured at Jiuzhang Plain,
645
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,720
and my lifespan is compromised.
646
00:33:21,590 --> 00:33:23,390
Heaven didn't give me more time.
647
00:33:28,270 --> 00:33:30,530
Heaven's will abandoned me 25 years ago.
648
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:32,900
What I seek is not that throne.
649
00:33:34,540 --> 00:33:35,480
If I don't want the Beifu Army
650
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,010
to disappear with my death,
651
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,110
I must do more things,
652
00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:42,410
rather than merely sitting
above everyone else
653
00:33:42,750 --> 00:33:45,080
and negotiating with the noble families.
654
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,310
You trust Prince Qi
655
00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:51,080
and are willing to support him?
656
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,680
Perhaps as Xie Jiayu's husband,
657
00:33:54,510 --> 00:33:56,770
he is not satisfactory to Your Highness.
658
00:33:58,070 --> 00:33:59,530
But I know he has ambition.
659
00:34:02,070 --> 00:34:03,030
What if one day
660
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,130
you find he doesn't deserve it?
661
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,760
In your future actions,
662
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,219
can you spare a little thought
for yourself?
663
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,150
Today,
664
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:33,070
you actually aimed your bow
665
00:34:33,070 --> 00:34:34,360
at Mao in public.
666
00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:37,489
Are you worried about Mao?
667
00:34:37,510 --> 00:34:38,880
I'm not joking with you.
668
00:34:39,710 --> 00:34:40,590
Neither am I.
669
00:34:54,030 --> 00:34:54,880
In the past,
670
00:34:55,590 --> 00:34:57,400
I heard many rumors about you.
671
00:34:58,110 --> 00:34:59,280
Because of them,
672
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,230
I was very afraid of you
and doubted you
673
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,740
when I first entered the mansion.
674
00:35:07,550 --> 00:35:09,070
If it weren't for the fact that
675
00:35:09,070 --> 00:35:11,190
we've been through so many things
together later,
676
00:35:11,190 --> 00:35:13,590
I wouldn't have gotten to know
the real you.
677
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:15,900
And I wouldn't have
678
00:35:19,670 --> 00:35:21,230
fallen for you.
679
00:35:32,070 --> 00:35:33,000
What did you say?
680
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:39,590
I mean,
681
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:49,760
Xiao Wuyi,
682
00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:54,670
I'm in love with you.
683
00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:07,190
If we are merely traveling the same road,
684
00:36:07,190 --> 00:36:09,720
when our paths diverge, we must part ways.
685
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:12,550
Xiao Wuyi,
686
00:36:14,710 --> 00:36:17,170
I don't just want
to walk the same path as you.
687
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:18,840
I want to walk it
688
00:36:19,590 --> 00:36:20,920
to the very end with you.
689
00:36:28,070 --> 00:36:29,510
So from now on,
690
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,660
could you please think
about yourself a little?
691
00:36:33,190 --> 00:36:34,850
If you have a good reputation,
692
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,710
even if you make mistakes in the future,
693
00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:38,150
people will still believe you.
694
00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:40,610
Wouldn't it be easier
to achieve your goals?
695
00:36:44,230 --> 00:36:47,160
Look how good the Grand Tutor
is at deceiving people.
696
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,480
Everyone says you are smart,
697
00:36:50,710 --> 00:36:52,570
but why do I think you are foolish?
698
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:55,880
In the court,
699
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,490
someone must play the villain,
700
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,740
and someone must play the savior.
701
00:37:01,670 --> 00:37:04,470
I've already chosen someone
to play the good side.
702
00:37:05,050 --> 00:37:06,910
I don't mind playing the villain.
703
00:37:07,150 --> 00:37:09,610
Have you ever thought
about your own ending?
704
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:13,450
Although I don't like reading,
705
00:37:13,770 --> 00:37:15,300
I've read many storybooks.
706
00:37:16,110 --> 00:37:17,920
Throughout history, subjects
707
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,730
who love playing the villain like you
never end well.
708
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,110
Yes.
709
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,740
So I dare not expect to keep you
by my side.
710
00:37:35,230 --> 00:37:36,760
What if I insist?
711
00:37:39,630 --> 00:37:40,480
Can you
712
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,300
take better care of yourself?
713
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,520
You told me to treat this place
as my home
714
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,760
and promised Mother
to keep me safe.
715
00:37:57,550 --> 00:37:59,350
But I know what you're thinking.
716
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,660
You would simply arrange
a hundred or so guards,
717
00:38:03,590 --> 00:38:06,920
and if something happened
to you or the Xiao family in the future,
718
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,010
they would escort me away. Am I right?
719
00:38:11,330 --> 00:38:13,330
I don't want to rely on you like this.
720
00:38:20,110 --> 00:38:21,310
Then what do you want?
721
00:38:27,350 --> 00:38:30,190
What if I don't want
to be the wife of the infamous Demon Xiao,
722
00:38:30,190 --> 00:38:31,550
but the wife of a hero?
723
00:38:37,390 --> 00:38:38,430
I want you
724
00:38:41,270 --> 00:38:42,400
to live a long life,
725
00:38:43,390 --> 00:38:44,470
to live in peace,
726
00:38:47,250 --> 00:38:49,110
to leave behind an honorable name,
727
00:38:49,110 --> 00:38:50,640
and to be remembered by all.
728
00:38:57,900 --> 00:39:00,100
You are making things difficult for me.
729
00:39:03,980 --> 00:39:04,780
That's right.
730
00:39:05,790 --> 00:39:07,020
I insist on doing so.
731
00:39:09,110 --> 00:39:10,310
Will you listen to me?
732
00:39:17,180 --> 00:39:21,570
♪ Let me dash toward where you are ♪
733
00:39:21,590 --> 00:39:25,020
