1
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,030
Prince Ning, Xiao Changmin,
2
00:00:15,590 --> 00:00:17,390
has long coveted the throne.
3
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,830
He instructed a foreign lady in his
manor to keep a rare foreign poison.
4
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:25,160
I discovered Prince Ning's
treasonous intentions,
5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,640
and urged him to turn back.
6
00:00:27,070 --> 00:00:29,120
But he tried to murder me to silence me.
7
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,280
I barely managed to escape,
8
00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:34,150
but the child in my womb lost its life.
9
00:00:35,790 --> 00:00:38,150
Prince Ning,
fearing his crimes would be exposed,
10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,920
drank poison and killed himself
in his manor.
11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,880
I beg Your Majesty for justice,
12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
and allow me and Prince Ning
13
00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:50,240
to sever all ties.
14
00:02:10,528 --> 00:02:11,360
=Blossoms of Power=
15
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,260
(Adapted from the novel, After My
Bloom, All Flowers Wither by Jin Huang)
16
00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:17,300
=Episode 27=
17
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:18,840
Changmin
18
00:02:18,912 --> 00:02:20,992
committed suicide out of fear
of punishment?
19
00:02:22,870 --> 00:02:26,240
The Imperial Guard found some things
in Prince Ning's Manor.
20
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,680
But it is not my place to say more.
21
00:02:30,430 --> 00:02:32,470
The Empress Dowager
and His Majesty invite you
22
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:34,150
to Yong'an Hall for a talk,
Your Highness.
23
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,710
Greetings, Father, Grandmother.
24
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,960
You may rise.
25
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,030
Father,
26
00:02:45,504 --> 00:02:47,568
why did Changmin
take poison and kill himself?
27
00:02:48,150 --> 00:02:49,400
Do not call him Changmin.
28
00:02:49,870 --> 00:02:50,910
For so many years,
29
00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:52,190
all of us
30
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:53,800
have been kept in the dark.
31
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,360
The rare poison in the palace back then
32
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,680
came from the hands
of the foreign lady in his manor.
33
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:03,750
This woman
34
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:05,360
is skilled in using rare poisons,
35
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:07,710
and has been hiding
in Prince Ning's Manor
36
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,280
for over ten years.
37
00:03:13,310 --> 00:03:14,400
She has confessed
38
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,430
that she was instructed by Changmin.
39
00:03:21,220 --> 00:03:22,500
(Confession of the Guilty Slave, Yi Sha)
40
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,660
(Prince Ning ordered me to make a rare poison,
a trace amount can make one wish for death.)
41
00:03:27,460 --> 00:03:30,180
(Signature: Yi Sha)
42
00:03:31,190 --> 00:03:32,750
The cherry cheese from back then
43
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,080
was poisoned by Changmin?
44
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,470
He coveted the position of Crown Prince
45
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,310
and harbored resentment.
46
00:03:44,430 --> 00:03:47,680
Knowing you liked to eat cherry cheese,
47
00:03:48,430 --> 00:03:50,000
he made this vicious move.
48
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,190
Afterwards,
he even showed concern for you.
49
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:56,080
Thinking about it now,
50
00:03:56,430 --> 00:03:58,430
it truly makes one shudder.
51
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,710
To think the murderer
was my second prince,
52
00:04:02,310 --> 00:04:04,470
he was actually so ruthless!
53
00:04:05,430 --> 00:04:07,150
It truly chills my heart.
54
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Did that foreign lady
confess it herself?
55
00:04:25,300 --> 00:04:29,220
(Clarity and Serenity)
56
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:42,750
Your Highness.
57
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:45,680
Your Highness.
58
00:04:47,630 --> 00:04:49,000
Do you feel
59
00:04:49,168 --> 00:04:50,992
that Prince Ning
is not the real culprit?
60
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,830
Changmin's so-called suicide
61
00:04:58,128 --> 00:05:00,144
doesn't seem like the act
of the real culprit.
62
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,480
He seems more like
a pawn being manipulated.
63
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,560
The real mastermind behind the scenes
64
00:05:11,630 --> 00:05:13,560
is still within these four palace walls.
65
00:05:16,100 --> 00:05:19,460
(Prince Xin's Manor)
66
00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:26,000
Brother-in-law, you're back.
67
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,070
I asked the kitchen
to stew some ginseng soup.
68
00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:29,390
It will be brought over shortly.
69
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,070
What are you doing here?
70
00:05:34,032 --> 00:05:35,552
I have absolutely nothing to do
71
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,070
with Prince Ning anymore.
72
00:05:38,115 --> 00:05:39,240
I feel like
73
00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:41,240
a wandering ghost.
74
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,310
Actually,
75
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,390
I've always considered your place
as my own home.
76
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,000
You were once my second sister-in-law.
77
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,680
For you to come here
78
00:05:52,190 --> 00:05:53,190
is against propriety.
79
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,480
I have absolutely
no improper thoughts now.
80
00:05:57,190 --> 00:05:58,600
I just want to be your sister,
81
00:05:59,552 --> 00:06:01,800
and beg for a little pity
and protection from you.
82
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,430
You no longer have
83
00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:06,070
any connection with this place.
84
00:06:08,310 --> 00:06:09,000
Go back.
85
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,630
The doctor said
86
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,360
I lost too much blood
from the miscarriage,
87
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,070
and my body hasn't fully recovered yet.
88
00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:37,120
I still have matters to attend to.
89
00:06:37,296 --> 00:06:39,136
I'll have someone escort you back later.
90
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,430
Brother-in-law.
91
00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:49,830
Thank you for granting
my brother's marriage, Your Majesty.
92
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:51,310
You may rise.
93
00:06:52,190 --> 00:06:53,120
Xihe,
94
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,360
I know very well
95
00:06:54,830 --> 00:06:55,830
that your father
96
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,430
had always been considering
the future of you and your brother.
97
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,120
I just wanted
98
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,800
to fulfill this wish for your father.
99
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,720
The Xue family has been
a literary family for generations,
100
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,390
and they are also very happy
with this marriage.
101
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:12,750
I am
102
00:07:13,504 --> 00:07:15,120
able to fulfill this beautiful union,
103
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,360
which brings me great comfort.
104
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,040
I requested an audience today
105
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,920
to implore you
106
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,280
to allow me to return to northwest
107
00:07:23,344 --> 00:07:25,360
to attend my brother's wedding,
Your Majesty.
108
00:07:25,510 --> 00:07:26,270
Granted.
109
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:28,920
It is only natural for siblings
110
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,390
to share a deep bond.
111
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,040
However, it is a long
and arduous journey.
112
00:07:33,630 --> 00:07:34,480
Xihe,
113
00:07:34,830 --> 00:07:37,190
I will send an elite squad
to escort you.
114
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,560
Return to the East Palace
and plan carefully.
115
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,040
Choose an auspicious day to depart.
116
00:07:44,192 --> 00:07:46,040
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
117
00:07:46,580 --> 00:07:53,380
(Cultivate Virtue
and Practice Righteousness)
118
00:07:58,460 --> 00:07:59,300
(Imperial Capital)
119
00:07:59,310 --> 00:08:00,850
From the imperial capital to northwest,
120
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,560
first to Shanzhou, then to Lanzhou,
121
00:08:02,630 --> 00:08:04,060
and finally to Yaozhou.
122
00:08:04,224 --> 00:08:05,720
The route follows the official road
123
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,360
with post stations at every stop.
124
00:08:10,784 --> 00:08:12,360
The official road is the safest.
125
00:08:13,750 --> 00:08:15,190
Are you also going to northwest?
126
00:08:19,430 --> 00:08:20,750
Father said I am frail
127
00:08:21,190 --> 00:08:22,560
and cannot endure a long journey.
128
00:08:23,310 --> 00:08:24,600
Father is right.
129
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,488
Just stay in the capital
and wait for my return.
130
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,600
Father has sent guards to escort me,
131
00:08:29,870 --> 00:08:31,800
and I have Mo Yu and Mo Yuan with me.
132
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,504
You don't need to worry too much.
133
00:08:37,984 --> 00:08:38,848
Your Highness,
134
00:08:38,850 --> 00:08:41,280
His Majesty has approved
Crown Princess's return to northwest
135
00:08:41,390 --> 00:08:42,752
to attend her brother's wedding.
136
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:43,936
She will depart tomorrow.
137
00:09:01,060 --> 00:09:07,180
(Taoran Inn)
138
00:09:10,510 --> 00:09:11,120
Madam,
139
00:09:11,390 --> 00:09:13,360
this is your premium room.
140
00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:14,750
If you need anything,
141
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:16,120
just call for me anytime.
142
00:09:27,390 --> 00:09:28,870
Your Highness.
143
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,510
Greetings, Crown Princess.
144
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,080
Why are you here?
145
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,870
I am on official duty
to inspect Shanzhou.
146
00:09:46,390 --> 00:09:47,200
Perhaps...
147
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,150
Perhaps it is the will of Heaven
148
00:09:51,168 --> 00:09:52,970
that we happen
to be traveling the same way.
149
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
It truly is destiny.
150
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,080
Whether by the will of Heaven
or by reason,
151
00:09:57,550 --> 00:10:00,030
there is no destiny between us.
152
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:02,630
Since you are here on official duty,
153
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,390
let's pretend we never met.
154
00:10:04,624 --> 00:10:07,552
We will go our separate ways
and not interfere with each other.
155
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,510
Farewell.
156
00:11:15,390 --> 00:11:16,200
Zhen Zhu,
157
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,200
help me comb my hair.
158
00:12:28,670 --> 00:12:31,000
My princess, are you satisfied?
159
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,270
Your Highness!
160
00:12:36,870 --> 00:12:37,910
What are you doing here?
161
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:44,790
I haven't seen my wife for days.
162
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,910
I couldn't help myself,
163
00:12:47,630 --> 00:12:49,000
so I sneaked out of the palace.
164
00:12:51,870 --> 00:12:53,200
If you are angry,
165
00:12:53,910 --> 00:12:54,910
you may punish me.
166
00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:58,750
Leave.
167
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,630
You wouldn't let me come with you,
168
00:13:05,904 --> 00:13:07,910
yet you had Changqing
protect you all the way.
169
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,480
Prince Xin is on official duty.
170
00:13:11,632 --> 00:13:13,180
We just happen to be going the same way.
171
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,000
Why are you so petty?
172
00:13:15,870 --> 00:13:16,750
Official duty?
173
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,550
Do you really believe that?
174
00:13:19,632 --> 00:13:21,072
Is he really on official duty?
175
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:24,510
Who is it?
176
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:25,870
It's been a tiring journey.
177
00:13:26,870 --> 00:13:28,510
I've prepared some pastries for you.
178
00:13:29,328 --> 00:13:30,790
Please have a taste, Crown Princess.
179
00:13:33,550 --> 00:13:34,910
Thank you for your kindness.
180
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:36,784
But I have already gone to bed.
181
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:40,080
This is
182
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:42,480
perilla and smoked plum cake.
183
00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:45,320
It was my late consort's
favorite pastry.
184
00:13:46,128 --> 00:13:47,776
She has been gone for four years.
185
00:13:48,064 --> 00:13:50,030
I've kept Nanny Li in the manor
all this time.
186
00:13:50,848 --> 00:13:52,030
Every year on her birthday,
187
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,080
I have Nanny Li
188
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:55,550
make this pastry for her.
189
00:13:56,032 --> 00:13:57,750
That was your late consort's preference,
190
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,790
not mine.
191
00:13:59,152 --> 00:14:01,480
I've disliked the taste of perilla
since I was a child.
192
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,270
You, get out.
193
00:14:10,128 --> 00:14:12,560
I was just afraid
that being away for so long,
194
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,360
you would miss this taste.
195
00:14:14,750 --> 00:14:15,790
Get out.
196
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,550
Hurry.
197
00:14:21,150 --> 00:14:21,960
I'm not leaving.
198
00:14:22,910 --> 00:14:24,910
Get out.
199
00:14:26,750 --> 00:14:27,440
Are you alright?
200
00:14:28,270 --> 00:14:29,120
I'm fine.
201
00:14:29,550 --> 00:14:30,120
I just...
202
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,712
The Crown Princess has already changed
and gone to bed.
203
00:14:53,790 --> 00:14:55,360
Please head back for now, Your Highness.
204
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,670
Then please give these pastries
205
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,360
to the Crown Princess for me.
206
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,630
Thank you, Your Highness.
207
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:09,080
Prince Xin!
208
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,270
How could you barge
into my room without permission?
209
00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:27,200
I just heard a strange noise.
210
00:15:27,790 --> 00:15:28,600
It's late.
211
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,480
I need to rest.
212
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,240
To avoid any suspicion
213
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,870
and protect both our reputations,
214
00:15:33,550 --> 00:15:35,120
please leave immediately.
215
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,720
You didn't tell him I was here.
216
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,320
Were you worried about me,
217
00:16:00,270 --> 00:16:01,320
or him?
218
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,720
I was worried about myself.

Your Highness,
236
00:17:29,936 --> 00:17:31,440
you always like to show up uninvited.
237
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,920
Some people are always so stubborn,
238
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,680
so distracted.
239
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,070
But I'm different from you.
240
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,510
You went through all the trouble
241
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,310
to escort your sister-in-law
from far away.
242
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,240
As her husband,
243
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,440
I am deeply grateful.
244
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:46,720
What?
245
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,200
Are you upset?
246
00:17:50,350 --> 00:17:51,270
Why would I be?
247
00:17:52,590 --> 00:17:54,920
Watching my rival get harshly rejected
by my beloved wife,
248
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,240
I couldn't be happier.
249
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,440
I have plenty of time
250
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,480
to stay by her side,
251
00:18:06,070 --> 00:18:06,960
protect her,
252
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,350
and wait for her to change her mind.
253
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:11,680
But you, Crown Prince,
254
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:14,920
your days are numbered.
255
00:18:19,070 --> 00:18:19,830
It's getting late.
256
00:18:21,070 --> 00:18:22,790
Xihe is still waiting
for me to go to bed.
257
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:24,110
Take care, Changqing.
258
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,880
It's been a bumpy ride.
259
00:19:02,944 --> 00:19:03,990
You should get some rest.
260
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,640
You look exhausted.
261
00:19:17,030 --> 00:19:17,960
If you refuse to sleep,
262
00:19:18,208 --> 00:19:20,320
I'll have the carriage turn back
to the posthouse,
263
00:19:20,330 --> 00:19:22,480
and wait for you to catch up on sleep
before we leave.
264
00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:32,400
Your Highness,
265
00:19:32,790 --> 00:19:34,640
Prince Xin has been following us
on horseback.
266
00:19:35,070 --> 00:19:35,830
Should we stop him?
267
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:38,790
No need.
268
00:20:02,340 --> 00:20:07,220
(A Feast Under the Sky)
269
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,750
Come on,
let's drink to our hearts' content!
270
00:20:12,750 --> 00:20:13,200
- Yeah!
271
00:20:13,310 --> 00:20:14,110
Men,
272
00:20:14,350 --> 00:20:14,790
come on.
273
00:20:15,030 --> 00:20:18,000
Eat and drink well tonight!
274
00:20:18,010 --> 00:20:18,790
- Cheers!
- Come on!
275
00:20:18,790 --> 00:20:19,680
Drink up! Cheers!
276
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,240
Come on.
277
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:20,960
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
278
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,350
Let's toast!
279
00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:21,720
Cheers!
280
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:22,480
Bottoms up!
281
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:22,980
- Cheers!
- Let's toast!
282
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,640
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
283
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,224
Let me propose a toast as well.

(Geng Liangcheng,
Deputy General of Northwest Army)
285
00:20:29,550 --> 00:20:30,550
In just three days,
286
00:20:30,576 --> 00:20:32,200
it will be Young Master Shen's wedding.
287
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,680
This is a joyous occasion
for the entire northwest!
288
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,880
Today, my brothers and I
289
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,830
want to properly celebrate
for the Young Master!
290
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,104
We won't leave until we're drunk!
291
00:20:43,184 --> 00:20:44,416
We won't leave until we're drunk!
292
00:20:44,432 --> 00:20:46,110
- Congratulations, Duke!
- Congratulations, Duke!
293
00:20:46,110 --> 00:20:48,230
- Congratulations, Young Master!
- Congratulations, Young Master!
294
00:20:49,088 --> 00:20:50,990
Thank you for your warm hospitality,
Uncle Geng.
295
00:20:51,030 --> 00:20:52,440
And thank you, Generals.
296
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,160
Bottoms up!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!
298
00:20:54,110 --> 00:20:55,232
- Bottoms up!
- Cheers!
299
00:20:57,510 --> 00:20:58,160
Another round.
300
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,096
You must have a few more drinks,
Young Master.
301
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:00,960
Come.
302
00:21:01,392 --> 00:21:02,790
Have a drink with the Young Master.
303
00:21:02,790 --> 00:21:03,540
Come, Young Master.
304
00:21:03,550 --> 00:21:04,030

00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,632
let me fill your cup.
312
00:21:14,030 --> 00:21:14,640
Duke.
313
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,720
Fill it up.
314
00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:16,880
Come, bottom's up.
315
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,270

Cheers.
318
00:21:22,736 --> 00:21:24,350
- Fill them up.
- Everyone, drink up.
319
00:21:26,740 --> 00:21:28,590
- We won't leave until we're drunk.
- Come on.
320
00:21:28,624 --> 00:21:29,240
Fill it up.
321
00:21:31,070 --> 00:21:31,830
Cheers.
322
00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:32,830
All right.
323
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,720
Assassins!
324
00:22:11,350 --> 00:22:11,880
Hurry!
325
00:22:13,310 --> 00:22:14,350
Hurry! Go!
326
00:22:14,350 --> 00:22:15,240
- Hurry!
- There are guards at the city gate.
327
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,288
Engage the enemy at once!
328
00:22:21,790 --> 00:22:22,350
Keep up!
329
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,590
- Guards!
- Guards!
330
00:22:33,790 --> 00:22:34,750
Where is everyone?
331
00:22:34,750 --> 00:22:35,900
(Tingxi City)
332
00:22:37,472 --> 00:22:38,750
Where are the city guards?
333
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:39,680
Where did they go?
334
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,830
- Kill them!
- Kill them!
335
00:23:46,070 --> 00:23:46,830
Father!
336
00:23:47,510 --> 00:23:48,070
Father!
337
00:23:48,070 --> 00:23:48,590
Duke!
338
00:23:49,030 --> 00:23:49,750
Duke!
339
00:24:00,590 --> 00:24:01,510
Uncle Geng?
340
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,750
Geng Liangcheng!
341
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,240
You shameless traitor,
colluding with the Le tribe!
342
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,270
Despicable scoundrel!
343
00:24:07,350 --> 00:24:08,960
How dare you plot against the Duke?
344
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,750
We won't let you off even as ghosts!
345
00:24:10,750 --> 00:24:11,550
Shen Yueshan.
346
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,110
Do you remember my son, Zhongji?
347
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,000
You personally ordered
his beheading back then.
348
00:24:20,550 --> 00:24:22,680
Today, I will kill all of you
349
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:24,590
to be buried with my son!
350
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,480
Yun'an,
351
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:26,880
leave me.
352
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,160
Take everyone and go!
353
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:28,750
Father,
354
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,440
I won't leave you behind.
355
00:24:31,590 --> 00:24:32,680
Soldiers!
356
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,440
- Here!
- Here!
357
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,270
Defend the Duke to the death!
358
00:24:35,270 --> 00:24:37,872
- Defend the Duke to the death!
- Defend the Duke to the death!
359
00:24:38,830 --> 00:24:40,440
Fire!
360
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,440
Father!
361
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,270
How are my father and brother doing now?
362
00:24:53,790 --> 00:24:54,680
At the critical moment,
363
00:24:54,690 --> 00:24:56,880
fortunately, General Yan,
who was stationed outside the city,
364
00:24:56,890 --> 00:24:57,510
arrived in time.
365
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,670
He broke through the city gates
366
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,310
and saved the Duke and the Young Master.
367
00:25:02,256 --> 00:25:03,920
The Young Master was shot by an arrow,
368
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,160
but his life is not in danger.
369
00:25:05,830 --> 00:25:08,270
The Duke suffered internal injuries
and lost a lot of blood.
370
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,070
He is still unconscious.
371
00:25:13,790 --> 00:25:14,480
Mo Yuan,
372
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,720
take my token.
373
00:25:16,110 --> 00:25:18,440
Immediately send men
to the prefectures around Tingxi City
374
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:19,920
to gather all renowned physicians
375
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,400
to treat the Duke.
376
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:22,440
Understood.
377
00:25:23,936 --> 00:25:24,960
Set off immediately.
378
00:25:24,992 --> 00:25:26,110
We must arrive by tomorrow.
379
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:26,752
Understood.
380
00:25:43,660 --> 00:25:48,860
(Duke of Wei's Manor)
381
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,000
How is my father's condition now?
382
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,550
The Duke's injuries are too severe.
383
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,720
Although his life is saved for now,
384
00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:10,510
he remains in a coma.
385
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,350
My father's health
386
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,200
will be in your hands.
387
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,750
I will do my utmost.
388
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,550
I want to go see my brother.
389
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,960
You should go rest for a while.
390
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,720
I'm not tired.
391
00:26:33,830 --> 00:26:34,550
Yun'an,
392
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,680
Father needs you.
393
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:38,590
Northwest needs you, too.
394
00:26:39,510 --> 00:26:40,830
You must recover well.
395
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,880
Don't worry, Xihe.
396
00:26:44,736 --> 00:26:46,790
The Le tribe soldiers
who infiltrated the city
397
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,550
have all been wiped out by General Yan.
398
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,270
The city defenses have been redeployed.
399
00:26:50,550 --> 00:26:53,000
The various units of Northwest Army
have been assembled,
400
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,368
standing by in full readiness.
401
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,160
So the traitor
402
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,160
is really Geng Liangcheng?
403
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,110
I saw it with my own eyes.
404
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:08,590
I remember
405
00:27:09,110 --> 00:27:11,000
he used to brave life and death
with Father,
406
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,496
sharing his trials and tribulations.
407
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,088
He was also your first teacher
in martial arts
408
00:27:15,088 --> 00:27:16,400
and military strategy.
409
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,790
Uncle Geng and his wife
have always cared for us deeply.
410
00:27:20,790 --> 00:27:22,310
I really can't understand
411
00:27:23,110 --> 00:27:24,480
how he could become a traitor.
412
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:26,480
It's because of
413
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,640
Geng Zhongji.
414
00:27:29,510 --> 00:27:30,790
Uncle Geng's only son?
415
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,830
Geng Zhongji went missing
when he was young,
416
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:36,680
and was only found two years ago.
417
00:27:37,310 --> 00:27:39,920
But he had already become a man
of corrupt morals,
418
00:27:40,096 --> 00:27:42,928
running roughshod over the town
and treating human life like dirt.
419
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,270
Geng Liangcheng and his wife
felt guilty toward him,
420
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,270
often using money to bail him out,
421
00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:50,920
which only fueled his evil deeds.
422
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:52,680
Father enforced the law impartially
423
00:27:53,350 --> 00:27:55,480
and had Geng Zhongji beheaded in public.
424
00:27:57,070 --> 00:27:59,680
Geng Liangcheng and his wife
were devastated.
425
00:28:00,750 --> 00:28:02,350
But after a period of silence,
426
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,030
they treated Father and me
the same as before.
427
00:28:06,070 --> 00:28:07,240
Thinking about it now,
428
00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:09,000
how could the two of them
429
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,830
truly hold no grudges?
430
00:28:12,790 --> 00:28:14,030
I think this matter
431
00:28:14,128 --> 00:28:16,200
is not as simple as just
seeking personal revenge.
432
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,110
You mean...
433
00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:20,790
If it were just for personal revenge,
434
00:28:20,816 --> 00:28:22,736
Father had his guard completely down
around him.
435
00:28:22,740 --> 00:28:24,016
If he assassinated him secretly,
436
00:28:24,048 --> 00:28:25,710
his chances of success
would be much higher.
437
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,400
But instead,
he colluded with the Le tribe
438
00:28:27,410 --> 00:28:28,688
to slaughter northwest's soldiers,
439
00:28:28,690 --> 00:28:31,400
and even attempted to wipe out
the leaders of all units at once.
440
00:28:32,070 --> 00:28:33,590
This is a blatant seizure of power.
441
00:28:54,270 --> 00:28:55,510
You've stayed up too late.
442
00:28:56,350 --> 00:28:57,240
Get some sleep.
443
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,070
Yun'an has his hands full right now,
444
00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:05,480
and he's heavily injured.
445
00:29:06,510 --> 00:29:07,960
I want to help him take care
446
00:29:08,070 --> 00:29:09,640
of the matters in the rear camp.
447
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,350
If you collapse from exhaustion,
448
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,440
how would Father and Yun'an
449
00:29:31,030 --> 00:29:32,070
feel about it?
450
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,480
I'm being too impatient.
451
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,350
You're right.
452
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,960
I should get some rest.
453
00:29:41,552 --> 00:29:43,264
I'll go get you some soothing incense.
454
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:15,720
Along the way,
455
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,550
you haven't let your guard down
for a moment.
456
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:20,680
Just listen to me now.
457
00:30:20,704 --> 00:30:22,576
Close your eyes and get some good rest.
458
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:24,400
I'll stay with you.
459
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,072
Who's there?
460
00:31:26,110 --> 00:31:27,070
General Geng,
461
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,070
I hope you've been well.
462
00:31:32,510 --> 00:31:33,750
Your Highness.
463
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:38,880
In this battle,
464
00:31:39,110 --> 00:31:40,200
you fought beautifully.
465
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,160
Although Shen Yueshan didn't die,
466
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,110
both father and son
are now severely injured.
467
00:31:46,750 --> 00:31:47,920
And the Le army
468
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,880
will continue to arrive
in endless streams.
469
00:31:50,790 --> 00:31:51,680
The Shen family
470
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,590
will fall sooner or later.
471
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,510
Do you know the Crown Prince and Crown
Princess have arrived in Tingxi City?
472
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,030
You haven't even figured out
your own situation,
473
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,350
yet you're already scheming
on my behalf.
474
00:32:07,790 --> 00:32:09,240
They came at the perfect time.
475
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:11,920
What I've been waiting for
476
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,590
is this exact moment.
477
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,070
You look displeased.
478
00:32:39,790 --> 00:32:40,830
What's the matter?
479
00:32:51,550 --> 00:32:52,590
The war in northwest
480
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,240
was originally a sure victory for me.
481
00:32:55,590 --> 00:32:57,510
But the Crown Prince,
at this critical moment,
482
00:32:58,350 --> 00:32:59,550
rushed to Tingxi City.
483
00:33:03,376 --> 00:33:05,504
Just because you're facing
the Crown Prince,
484
00:33:06,310 --> 00:33:07,830
you feel you have no chance of winning?
485
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:18,750
Changtai,
486
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,400
how long do we have to live in fear?
487
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,880
Can't you just let it go?
488
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,160
The other princes are Father's sons.
489
00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:35,310
Some receive his favor,
490
00:33:36,070 --> 00:33:37,790
some are groomed by him,
491
00:33:37,790 --> 00:33:39,160
and one is his heir.
492
00:33:39,510 --> 00:33:40,750
Why am I the only one
493
00:33:40,830 --> 00:33:43,200
who is just a disposable pawn
in his chess game?
494
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,310
I want to make him regret
495
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,110
always looking down on me
496
00:33:49,550 --> 00:33:50,680
and using me!
497
00:33:56,128 --> 00:33:58,352
When my family was ruined
and I was left destitute,
498
00:33:59,310 --> 00:34:00,640
you agreed to marry me
499
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,400
and treated me like a treasure.
500
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,160
Such kindness,
501
00:34:07,264 --> 00:34:09,392
I will never forget until the day I die.
502
00:34:11,550 --> 00:34:12,800
But your desire for power
503
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,400
has never ceased.
504
00:34:14,784 --> 00:34:16,670
Before,
I was willing to take the blame for you,
505
00:34:16,688 --> 00:34:18,000
hoping you would repent.
506
00:34:18,670 --> 00:34:20,320
But in front of His Majesty,
507
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,630
you drank the so-called poisoned liquor,
508
00:34:23,590 --> 00:34:25,230
playing the part of a devoted husband
509
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:26,630
to cover up your ambition.
510
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,190
Now you're even colluding
with foreign enemies to rebel.
511
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,190
Changtai,
512
00:34:37,590 --> 00:34:39,510
it's not too late for us to stop now.
513
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:42,190
If we stop fighting for power,
514
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,550
wouldn't it be nice
to live a peaceful life?
515
00:34:47,710 --> 00:34:49,110
But I can't accept that.
516
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,150
This is our only chance.
517
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,590
No matter what,
518
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,760
I have to take this gamble.
519
00:35:18,510 --> 00:35:19,440
I understand.
520
00:35:21,710 --> 00:35:22,760
I shouldn't have
521
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,440
expected anything from someone
522
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,550
who is driven mad by power.
523
00:35:46,630 --> 00:35:48,000
Just be a good Princess Consort.
524
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,630
Geng Liangcheng has colluded
with the Le tribe army to mutiny
525
00:36:04,630 --> 00:36:05,960
and attempt a rebellion.
526
00:36:06,190 --> 00:36:09,280
The Duke of Wei and his son
are severely injured.
527
00:36:10,150 --> 00:36:12,030
Especially the Duke of Wei,
528
00:36:12,030 --> 00:36:14,030
who remains unconscious to this day.
529
00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:15,550
Minister Tao,
530
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,000
where is the Crown Prince now?
531
00:36:18,510 --> 00:36:20,480
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess
532
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,150
have arrived at Tingxi City.
533
00:36:23,150 --> 00:36:24,480
Reporting to Your Majesty,
534
00:36:24,710 --> 00:36:26,360
Prince Lie requests an audience.
535
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:27,510
Send him in.
536
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,440
Father, Changqing is handling
official business in Dianzhou.
537
00:36:35,450 --> 00:36:36,960
Upon learning
of Geng Liangcheng's mutiny,
538
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,960
he sent a carrier pigeon asking me
to request an edict on his behalf.
539
00:36:39,030 --> 00:36:40,390
He implores you to issue an order,
540
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,670
allowing him to dispatch
the troops stationed in Yaozhou
541
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,528
to support northwest
and quell the rebellion.
542
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:46,360
Your Majesty,
543
00:36:46,630 --> 00:36:49,070
among the garrisons
in the nearby prefectures,
544
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,550
the one in Yaozhou is the most valiant
and battle-tested.
545
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,960
If they march through the mountain pass,
546
00:36:55,150 --> 00:36:57,150
they can also arrive the fastest.
547
00:36:58,840 --> 00:36:59,440
Granted.
548
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,150
Changying,
549
00:37:01,230 --> 00:37:02,710
deliver my edict immediately.
550
00:37:02,736 --> 00:37:04,440
Order him to do everything in his power
551
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,550
to protect the Crown Prince
and Crown Princess,
552
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,230
and ensure the safety
of the people in northwest.
553
00:37:09,670 --> 00:37:10,710
I obey your command.
554
00:37:24,670 --> 00:37:25,710
I'm truly tired.
555
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,230
Making the wrong choice
leads to a path of no return.
556
00:37:29,230 --> 00:37:30,760
No!
557
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,070
I once promised you
that if there ever came a day
558
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,496
when I fell in love with you,
559
00:37:37,150 --> 00:37:38,480
I would tell you immediately.
560
00:37:39,070 --> 00:37:40,150
Xiao Huayong,
561
00:37:40,590 --> 00:37:41,952
I love you.

♪Was both bittersweet and absurd♪
570
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,490
♪Hiding my tear-filled eyes
when I hurt you♪
571
00:38:26,750 --> 00:38:30,060

572
