1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,660
Zhangsun has long dictated the court.
2
00:00:01,830 --> 00:00:03,720
Sooner or later, His Majesty will remove him.
3
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,010
When that day comes, what fate will befall you?
4
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:10,000
You allied with him, thinking him as a powerful backer.
5
00:00:10,370 --> 00:00:12,060
But in truth, a grave mistake.
6
00:00:13,260 --> 00:00:15,200
But you are still His Majesty's eldest son.
7
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,930
If you help His Majesty remove this thorn in his side
8
00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:19,730
and earn great merit,
9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,490
and you will have nothing to fear.
10
00:00:22,330 --> 00:00:24,660
The choice is yours, Your Royal Highness.
11
00:00:31,460 --> 00:00:33,900
I... beg Father's forgiveness.
12
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:38,030
I have held the title of Crown Prince for years.
13
00:00:38,230 --> 00:00:41,300
Yet I am of limited talent and wisdom, dull and morally deficient.
14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,960
Chancellor Zhangsun holds the high office.
15
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:45,720
I have associated with him often.
16
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:48,900
Yet I failed to see the disloyalty in his heart.
17
00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:51,700
And so when the Chancellor plotted against the throne,
18
00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:54,260
he colluded with an official of the Eastern Palace.
19
00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:56,900
Though I did not take part,
20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,560
I cannot escape responsibility.
21
00:00:58,660 --> 00:01:00,560
I beg Father to allow me
22
00:01:00,630 --> 00:01:02,520
to relinquish the title of Crown Prince.
23
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:09,420
Your Royal Highness...
24
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:12,960
Why would you baselessly slander a loyal old minister?
25
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:15,300
What have I done to deserve this, Your Highness?
26
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:17,500
Chancellor Zhangsun makes a fair point.
27
00:01:17,830 --> 00:01:19,900
Rebellion is a monstrous charge.
28
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:21,800
If this were truly baseless,
29
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:24,860
would the Crown Prince dare say so before His Majesty and the court?
30
00:01:24,860 --> 00:01:26,490
What gain could it possibly bring him?
31
00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:28,430
I have served three reigns.
32
00:01:28,430 --> 00:01:30,300
what cause would this I have to rebel?
33
00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:32,370
Your power is fading.
34
00:01:32,370 --> 00:01:35,200
Could it be that the fear of losing all your authority
35
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,130
drove you to this desperate act?
36
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,560
If this is true,
37
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,730
then when Prince Li Zhong ascends the throne,
38
00:01:40,830 --> 00:01:43,180
the Chancellor would hold the greatest merit.
39
00:01:43,230 --> 00:01:46,160
A veteran with disciples and throughout the court.
40
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,930
If heharbors ambition, he would be far more dangerous
41
00:01:48,930 --> 00:01:50,610
than any rebellious prince.
42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,500
The Crown Prince is filial and virtuous,
43
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:54,320
he would never make accusations lightly.
44
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,840
I fear the Chancellor... may indeed have overstepped his bounds.
45
00:01:58,030 --> 00:02:00,210
Uncle has served the realm with loyalty for decades.
46
00:02:00,300 --> 00:02:01,620
His merits are beyond measure
47
00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:02,950
How could he possibly rebel?
48
00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:04,260
Your Majesty...
49
00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:07,450
if the Chancellor has truly rebelled, it will be a big tragedy.
50
00:02:07,630 --> 00:02:10,900
But, His Royal Highness's tearful testimony...
51
00:02:11,230 --> 00:02:12,730
how could it possibly be false?
52
00:02:12,930 --> 00:02:14,130
- Your Majesty...\n- I...
53
00:02:14,130 --> 00:02:16,600
Every word spoken by His Royal Highness cuts to the heart.
54
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,230
If Your Majesty... out of familial affection...
55
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:23,630
has therefore let Chancellor Zhangsun escape punishment
56
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,430
for such a monstrous crime,
57
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:27,130
the people would never be at peace.
58
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,360
Back then,
59
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:33,760
in the case of Princess Gaoyang,
60
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,660
I lost so many brothers and kin.
61
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,460
That case...
62
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:41,240
was personally investigated by Uncle.
63
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:42,960
Now,
64
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:44,930
even Uncle rebels.
65
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:47,520
My own kin... all like this one after another.
66
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,560
How can I still face the people of the realm now?
67
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:56,860
Your Majesty, please take care.
68
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,440
The one who should feel shame before the people is not Your Majesty
69
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,400
but this rebel.
70
00:03:03,030 --> 00:03:04,030
Back then,
71
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,940
when Chancellor Zhangsun investigated the rebellion,
72
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,080
even for imperial members,
73
00:03:09,300 --> 00:03:12,630
he never once showed the slightest mercy.
74
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:14,930
And Princess Gaoyang...
75
00:03:15,230 --> 00:03:17,420
she was the Late Emperor's most beloved daughter.
76
00:03:17,450 --> 00:03:19,230
Yet even she fell.
77
00:03:19,930 --> 00:03:20,930
Your Majesty...
78
00:03:22,430 --> 00:03:24,710
though Chancellor Zhangsun is your maternal uncle.
79
00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:26,730
But, I beseech Your Majesty
80
00:03:27,130 --> 00:03:29,260
to punish him according to the crime of rebellion.
81
00:03:32,130 --> 00:03:34,100
Your Majesty, please take care,
82
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:35,730
and punish the rebel.
83
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,260
Your Majesty...
84
00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:39,100
Please take care of your health.
85
00:03:39,260 --> 00:03:41,060
Punish the rebel severely.
86
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:49,850
By law,
87
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:52,430
rebellion is punishable by death.
88
00:03:53,330 --> 00:03:55,080
Yet Chancellor Zhangsun...
89
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,460
is still my uncle.
90
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,880
Exile him to Qian Prefecture.
91
00:03:59,060 --> 00:04:02,100
Have the prefectures along the route provide military escorts.
92
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,720
I have served three reigns
93
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,770
and was entrusted by the late Emperor.
94
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:21,140
What I face today
95
00:04:21,140 --> 00:04:24,530
is none other than a fatal plot set by Empress Wu
96
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,920
And the Crown Prince...
97
00:04:26,370 --> 00:04:27,420
Officials...
98
00:04:27,930 --> 00:04:29,150
Your Majesty...
99
00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:32,130
All willingly became blades in her hand.
100
00:04:35,030 --> 00:04:37,640
The Sheng Dynasty is doomed.
101
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,310
This old servant has failed the Late Emperor.
103
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:55,400
If Xi Xin knew that you have stayed up this late waiting for her...
104
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:57,010
she'd be so happy.
105
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,000
- Xi Xin!\n- Xi Xin.
106
00:05:03,130 --> 00:05:03,990
My lady.
107
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:05,820
You have been beside Li Zhong for years.
108
00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:08,000
And now everything is finally settled.
109
00:05:08,260 --> 00:05:10,030
You can return to my side at last.
110
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,360
My lady.
111
00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:14,430
I have waited way too long for this day.
112
00:05:14,860 --> 00:05:16,930
Oh, on the way back to the palace
113
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,450
I learned that Zhangsun has been demoted and exiled.
114
00:05:19,550 --> 00:05:20,880
He will depart tomorrow.
116
00:05:21,830 --> 00:05:22,920
This is what we call...
117
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,540
bring back the one we miss,
118
00:05:24,630 --> 00:05:26,340
and send away the trouble.
119
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,050
Heaven does have eyes.
120
00:05:30,270 --> 00:05:31,780
After all these years of struggle...
121
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,000
I think I'll see him off.
122
00:05:34,420 --> 00:05:36,890
Xi Xin, go with me tomorrow.
123
00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:38,050
Yes, my lady.
124
00:06:09,340 --> 00:06:11,030
Qian Prefecture is unlike Sheng'an.
125
00:06:11,030 --> 00:06:14,960
Chancellor Zhangsun, please take good care of yourself.
126
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,760
I held the office of Chancellor for thirty years.
127
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,440
I never imagined
128
00:06:21,100 --> 00:06:24,830
that in the end, you would be the only one to see me off.
129
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,500
The court shifts, and people grow ruthless.
130
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:30,850
We have been in conflict for years.
131
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
I feared you might feel lonely on the road.
132
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,330
Of course. I had to come.
133
00:06:39,230 --> 00:06:42,460
I devoted my life to the realm.
134
00:06:42,460 --> 00:06:44,130
My conscience is clear.
135
00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:47,030
Yet in the end...
136
00:06:47,730 --> 00:06:50,400
I was brought down by a witch like you.
137
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,630
Our realm
138
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,100
will fall in your hands, soon enough.
139
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:58,690
Xi Xin.
