each take one of the child's hands.
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.980
The infant is frail

and cannot endure such struggle.
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:06.130

Victory and defeat lie
between a single thought.

she chose to let go.

00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:37.460
Have you decided?
00:15:38.030 --> 00:15:39.670
Will you truly retrieve the Moon-Eclipse?
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:45.320
You are right.
00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:46.980
Only if the Moon-Eclipse is in my hands
00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:48.130
will it be safest.
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.300
I must destroy it myself.
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:53.880
Only then can I ensure it
never harms the world again.
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:08.720
Master...
00:16:09.150 --> 00:16:10.850
You wished for this as well,
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:12.240
did you not?
00:17:21.590 --> 00:17:22.590
Cangcang!
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:26.380
Cangcang, are you all right?
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:29.900
We must leave first.
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.480
We will destroy the Moon-Eclipse later.
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:34.400
Go.
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:58.400
Your Majesty.
00:17:58.830 --> 00:18:01.006
The assassin who threatened
the Empress has been seized.
00:18:01.030 --> 00:18:02.530
This was found on his person.
00:18:09.830 --> 00:18:11.140
He did not threaten me.
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.460
I summoned him.
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.220
Are you certain
00:18:14.510 --> 00:18:16.460
you have not been deceived by this thief?
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.140
The one who deceived me...
00:18:20.030 --> 00:18:21.030
Was it not you?
00:18:25.510 --> 00:18:27.700
Your Majesty speaks the sweetest words,
00:18:29.270 --> 00:18:30.810
yet does the things that hurt me most.
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:34.720
I was a fool.
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.250
Time and again I let you deceive me,
00:18:39.750 --> 00:18:40.980
and still believed you.
00:18:50.590 --> 00:18:51.590
Cangcang.
00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.860
I warned you long ago.
00:18:53.310 --> 00:18:54.390
You should never trust him.
00:18:55.110 --> 00:18:56.140
Take him away.
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:57.400
Yes.
00:19:00.270 --> 00:19:01.770
I told you the fault is not his.
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:03.760
This matter has nothing to do with him.
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:04.920
The fault lies with me.
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:36.250
The one who deceived me...
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:37.920
Was it not you?
00:19:39.000 --> 00:19:41.010
Your Majesty speaks the sweetest words,
00:19:41.510 --> 00:19:43.050
yet does the things that wound me.
00:19:44.550 --> 00:19:45.700
I was a fool.
00:19:47.270 --> 00:19:48.940
Time and again I let you deceive me,
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:51.720
and still believed you.
00:20:38.030 --> 00:20:39.460
What brings you here?
00:20:45.790 --> 00:20:46.790
I heard
00:20:47.510 --> 00:20:49.550
one must not drink while
soaking in the hot spring.
00:20:52.070 --> 00:20:53.290
If you have something to say,
00:20:54.270 --> 00:20:55.380
you may speak plainly.
00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:20.050
If one drinks this wine,
00:21:25.110 --> 00:21:26.420
it will make one
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:31.460
lose all sense and restraint
00:21:33.110 --> 00:21:34.530
and lose all control.
00:21:41.590 --> 00:21:43.090
For Luo Xianxue,
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:45.530
you dare tease me?
00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:51.700
It is from the heart.
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:05.400
Very well.
00:22:20.720 --> 00:22:21.720
Just now,
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:23.730
did you not say it was from the heart?
00:22:27.830 --> 00:22:28.830
Let him go.
00:22:30.790 --> 00:22:31.790
Let him go?
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.180
I wish nothing more than
to have him torn apart.
00:22:35.790 --> 00:22:37.330
Yet you ask me to spare him?
00:22:47.030 --> 00:22:48.460
Then let me hate you.
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:05.700
For Luo Xianxue,
00:23:06.110 --> 00:23:08.220
you truly dare to do anything.
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.570
I will not kill you.
00:23:11.550 --> 00:23:12.550
After all,
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:14.730
I cannot let the Ling clan
00:23:15.070 --> 00:23:16.250
follow me to the grave.
00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:51.020
[Emperor's Seal]
00:23:56.830 --> 00:23:58.250
Peace to Your Majesty.
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:00.940
Open the door.
00:24:01.030 --> 00:24:02.030
Yes.

00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:12.680

00:24:13.110 --> 00:24:14.110
Release him.
00:24:14.310 --> 00:24:15.430
Without His Majesty's order,
00:24:15.510 --> 00:24:16.510
I dare not.
00:24:18.790 --> 00:24:20.010
This is His Majesty's order.
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:22.720
Yes.
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:41.480
Cangcang.
00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:43.290
Luo, go now.
00:24:43.310 --> 00:24:44.180
Do not return.
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:44.900
You are not leaving?
00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:46.160
Let us leave together.
00:24:47.070 --> 00:24:47.810
I cannot leave.
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:49.000
Nor can I go.
00:24:49.550 --> 00:24:50.770
But you are releasing a major criminal.
00:24:50.790 --> 00:24:52.090
He will not spare you easily.
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:54.010
I promised to keep you safe,
00:24:54.110 --> 00:24:55.110
so I must do so.
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:56.960
As for me,
00:24:57.350 --> 00:24:58.140
you need not worry.
00:24:58.270 --> 00:24:59.270
I have my own way.
00:25:00.030 --> 00:25:01.050
There is no time. Go.
00:25:11.580 --> 00:25:15.860
[Lingquan Palace]
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:23.960
Please punish me, Your Majesty.
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:27.160
Good.
00:25:27.830 --> 00:25:28.830
Very good.
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:31.180
I defied Your Majesty's decree.
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:32.250
I ask for punishment.
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:33.400
My empress,
00:25:33.590 --> 00:25:35.290
you have nothing to explain?
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:36.720
Nothing.
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:41.420
The Empress has failed in virtue.
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:43.176
Return to the palace and
remain confined for three days.
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.700
Kneel and copy the
scriptures in repentance.
00:25:45.750 --> 00:25:46.530
I accept the decree.
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:47.920
And give thanks for the grace.

00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:00.570

[Qi]
00:29:36.830 --> 00:29:38.010
Soldiers, hear my command!
00:29:38.550 --> 00:29:40.330
Swear to defend Great Qi with your lives!
00:29:40.550 --> 00:29:43.550
[Ling Jueding, Governor of Jiangzhou]
Swear to guard the border to the last!
00:29:45.030 --> 00:29:46.860
In the ninth year of Yongxi,
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.530
Kumor, Prince of Xijiang,
00:29:48.790 --> 00:29:50.460
resented the census decree,
00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:52.250
and marched to besiege Jiangzhou.
00:29:53.110 --> 00:29:54.860
Ling Jueding, Governor of Jiangzhou,
00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:56.050
led the troops in defense,
00:29:56.070 --> 00:29:57.550
and repelled the foe again and again.
00:29:58.270 --> 00:30:00.250
But Kumor's advance was relentless.
00:30:00.270 --> 00:30:01.810
Jiangzhou was in peril.
00:30:03.790 --> 00:30:05.700
Governor Ling Jueding reports,
00:30:06.310 --> 00:30:08.140
Kumor rejects the census decree,
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:10.330
and has surrounded Jiangzhou.
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.720
Jiangzhou is in danger.
00:30:12.790 --> 00:30:13.380
My ministers,
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:14.940
what counsel have you?
00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:24.200
Your Majesty.
00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:26.810
Kumor harbors ill intent.
00:30:27.270 --> 00:30:29.770
Jiangzhou lies barely a
thousand li from the Capital.
00:30:30.110 --> 00:30:31.180
If left unchecked,
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.700
the danger may reach the Capital itself.
00:30:33.790 --> 00:30:35.140
So I propose
00:30:35.350 --> 00:30:38.330
Your Majesty dispatch
troops to aid Jiangzhou.
00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:51.770
I disagree.
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:53.860
A report came from Xuzhou yesterday.
00:30:54.030 --> 00:30:55.700
The locust plague has not yet passed.
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:59.380
The autumn harvest in Xuzhou
has already suffered greatly.
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:01.720
In my view,
00:31:02.110 --> 00:31:03.420
the plague must be
00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:06.050
our foremost concern at present.
00:31:07.030 --> 00:31:10.090
What does this have to
do with aiding Jiangzhou?
00:31:10.590 --> 00:31:11.770
Before the troops set out,
00:31:12.110 --> 00:31:13.460
provisions must be prepared.
00:31:14.030 --> 00:31:16.290
I once reviewed the state granaries
00:31:16.590 --> 00:31:18.550
with Minister Xing
regarding the disaster relief.
00:31:18.830 --> 00:31:21.530
Minister Xing knows this matter best.
00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:26.720
Your Majesty,
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:28.380
as for the stored grain,
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:30.440
we have less than eight
hundred thousand dan left.
00:31:30.750 --> 00:31:32.220
If we reinforce Jiangzhou,
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:35.460
Xuzhou's relief may have to be delayed.
00:31:36.110 --> 00:31:38.180
If Your Majesty sends troops to Jiangzhou,
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.490
the Capital's guards must be mobilized.
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:43.460
Xuzhou is barely a thousand li away.
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:46.050
If the people there cannot be appeased,
00:31:46.070 --> 00:31:47.070
and unrest follows,
00:31:47.510 --> 00:31:50.530
the Capital will be left vulnerable.
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:52.960
Grand Tutor Ling,
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:54.730
what say you?
00:32:03.590 --> 00:32:04.990
In my view,
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:06.530
Your Majesty should send aid,
00:32:08.030 --> 00:32:09.460
and reinforce Jiangzhou.
00:32:11.030 --> 00:32:12.490
And what of Xuzhou?
00:32:12.750 --> 00:32:14.990
Xuzhou holds but disaster victims.
00:32:15.210 --> 00:32:16.220
But Jiangzhou
00:32:17.070 --> 00:32:18.860
is the land of Great Qi.
00:32:23.070 --> 00:32:24.700
General Ling Jueding
00:32:24.790 --> 00:32:26.570
won fame from youth,
00:32:26.720 --> 00:32:28.460
commanding the entire Western Garrison.
00:32:28.830 --> 00:32:30.290
To defend Jiangzhou
00:32:30.510 --> 00:32:32.050
is hardly beyond him.
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:35.380
General Ling guards
Jiangzhou for Your Majesty,
00:32:35.750 --> 00:32:37.180
loyal and steadfast.
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:45.400
Grand Tutor Ling,
00:32:46.510 --> 00:32:47.810
what are you implying?
00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:50.290
No one trusts General Ling
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:51.900
more than I do.
00:32:52.310 --> 00:32:53.860
Else why would the command tally
00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:55.570
rest in his hands to this day?
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:57.760
Would you not agree, Grand Tutor Ling?
00:32:58.750 --> 00:33:00.140
Indeed,
00:33:00.550 --> 00:33:01.700
Your Majesty.
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:06.180
Xuzhou is in crisis.
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:07.940
I cannot ignore it.
00:33:08.310 --> 00:33:10.570
Yet Jiangzhou must be held.
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:11.730
Otherwise,
00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:14.250
even General Ling's life
would not absolve him.
00:33:22.590 --> 00:33:23.700
This matter is difficult.
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:25.810
I shall ponder it for two more days.
00:33:26.590 --> 00:33:28.770
We await Your Majesty's decree.
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:52.960
The Imperial Preceptor says
00:33:53.070 --> 00:33:54.616
Your Majesty is gravely ill and must rest.
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:55.640
No one may enter.
00:33:56.040 --> 00:33:57.250
Commander Li.
00:33:57.310 --> 00:33:59.420
You've no idea how chaotic it is outside.
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:01.420
One group after another is demanding entry.
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.050
I can't hold them off.
00:34:03.070 --> 00:34:04.420
They're either imperial kin,
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:05.810
or high ministers of court.
00:34:05.830 --> 00:34:07.810
Not a single one I dare offend.
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:09.900
You mustn't offend any of them.
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:12.490
So the one you can offend is me?
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:21.650
Your Majesty,
00:34:21.830 --> 00:34:23.460
I would never dare.
00:34:24.150 --> 00:34:26.090
Then hurry back out and face them.
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:27.360
I...
00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:29.800
Well.
00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:38.780
So Your Majesty claims illness
00:34:39.190 --> 00:34:41.490
only to hide here in Nanrong
Palace for peace and quiet.
00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:44.000
Are you saying
00:34:44.150 --> 00:34:45.260
that I'm not ill?
00:34:45.510 --> 00:34:46.780
Your Majesty is ill indeed.
00:34:47.190 --> 00:34:48.690
Then Your Majesty must rest
00:34:48.710 --> 00:34:49.900
as a sick man should,
00:34:50.150 --> 00:34:51.490
and not burden your mind.
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:54.530
Though Your Majesty is here,
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:55.920
the thoughts
00:34:56.030 --> 00:34:57.210
are still in turmoil.
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:00.340
This does no good for
Your Majesty's ailment.
00:35:00.710 --> 00:35:02.570
This is a critical time.
00:35:03.150 --> 00:35:04.690
I cannot relax for a moment.
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.120
I must save Jiangzhou's
soldiers and people.
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.130
Yet I cannot abandon the
people of Xuzhou either.
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:12.900
Behind Ling Xuefeng,
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:15.210
stands an entire host of noble clans.
00:35:15.280 --> 00:35:16.610
I know this all too well.
00:35:17.230 --> 00:35:18.530
If I don't force his hand,
00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:20.650
he'll surely abandon Xuzhou
00:35:20.670 --> 00:35:21.690
to protect Jiangzhou.
00:35:22.550 --> 00:35:23.550
I
00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:25.300
Must take this gamble with him.
00:35:27.630 --> 00:35:30.070
His Majesty has feigned illness
and hidden in Nanrong Palace.
00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:33.000
I expected it.
00:35:35.150 --> 00:35:37.210
Why aren't you peeling the grapes?
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:40.820
These mare-milk grapes
must be eaten with the skin
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:41.900
to keep their crispness.
00:35:42.510 --> 00:35:43.940
I'll take the rest with me.
00:35:45.480 --> 00:35:47.600
You've only just sat down
and already you're leaving.
00:35:47.670 --> 00:35:49.650
Didn't I report everything to you earlier?
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:52.380
I strongly opposed sending troops in court.
00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:55.380
His Majesty seemed inclined to agree.
00:35:55.550 --> 00:35:58.610
That Ling Xuefeng looked quite distressed.
00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:02.170
Ling Jueding holds the military power.
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:05.650
If he loses his standing in this campaign,
00:36:06.150 --> 00:36:09.090
Ling Xuefeng will be as
if cut from his right arm.
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:11.940
Naturally His Majesty will be pleased.
00:36:12.590 --> 00:36:13.780
So you think
00:36:14.590 --> 00:36:17.490
His Majesty would abandon Jiangzhou?
00:36:20.590 --> 00:36:21.590
What is it?
00:36:21.960 --> 00:36:23.210
You don't think so?
00:36:23.800 --> 00:36:24.800
Mother,
00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:26.010
what are you imagining?
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:27.690
If Jiangzhou falls,
00:36:28.190 --> 00:36:30.780
who could bear such infamy for all time?
00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:33.940
Ling Jueding has guarded
Jiangzhou for years.
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:36.490
There is no one who knows that land better.
00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:40.570
His Majesty would never strip
him of command at such a time.
00:36:41.670 --> 00:36:44.490
Then why stage all of this?
00:36:45.590 --> 00:36:47.650
The people of Xuzhou
are people all the same.
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:49.840
What did you say?
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:53.480
Nothing.
00:36:54.110 --> 00:36:55.110
Mother is wise.
00:36:55.440 --> 00:36:56.570
I shall take my leave.
00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:07.320
Is
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:09.440
The Empress's confinement not yet lifted?
00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.920
Yes.
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:12.900
With Jiangzhou in peril,
00:37:13.150 --> 00:37:15.460
as the older sister of Young General Ling,
00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:18.860
how could she not know?
00:37:20.630 --> 00:37:23.940
And if she knew His Majesty
refused to send reinforcements,
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:26.940
what would she think then?
00:37:37.110 --> 00:37:37.650
Your Majesty,
00:37:37.670 --> 00:37:39.090
Aunt Chan has arrived.
00:37:56.360 --> 00:37:58.130
Your Majesty is confined
and copying sutras.
00:37:58.190 --> 00:37:59.690
It must drain your spirit.
00:38:00.150 --> 00:38:01.690
The Empress Dowager pities you,
00:38:02.150 --> 00:38:03.610
so Her Majesty prepared medicinal dishes
00:38:03.630 --> 00:38:04.750
and sent me to deliver them.
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:10.680
Thank the Empress Dowager for her kindness.
00:38:12.670 --> 00:38:14.010
I must continue copying.
00:38:15.150 --> 00:38:16.340
Aunt Chan may go.
00:38:18.710 --> 00:38:20.300
Perhaps Your Majesty hasn't heard.
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:23.820
Something has happened in Jiangzhou.
00:38:27.110 --> 00:38:28.110
What did you say?
00:38:28.540 --> 00:38:30.109
[Nanrong Palace]
00:38:30.110 --> 00:38:30.860
Move aside.
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:31.960
I must see His Majesty.
00:38:33.550 --> 00:38:34.550
Your Majesty!
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:36.090
I know you're inside!
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:37.920
Come out!
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:39.320
Your Majesty!
00:38:39.840 --> 00:38:41.400
Why will you not send aid to Jiangzhou?
00:38:42.590 --> 00:38:43.590
Your Majesty.
00:38:45.030 --> 00:38:45.820
Your Majesty!
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:47.010
It seems the Empress
00:38:47.190 --> 00:38:48.900
already knows of Jiangzhou.
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:53.130
Since Your Majesty has
chosen this political gamble,
00:38:53.630 --> 00:38:55.260
you must lay down your stake.
00:38:56.150 --> 00:38:57.150
Your Majesty,
00:38:57.480 --> 00:38:59.610
you must not soften because of the Empress.
00:39:01.150 --> 00:39:02.860
What lies between me and the Empress
00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:04.900
needs no comment from you.
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:24.840
Did the Grand Tutor
00:39:25.030 --> 00:39:26.210
send you to seek me out?
00:39:27.150 --> 00:39:28.150
My father?
00:39:29.710 --> 00:39:31.130
What has this to do with him?
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:32.260
I came on my own.
00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:33.720
It has nothing to do with my father.
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:36.130
My father would never use me as you do.
00:39:39.710 --> 00:39:41.780
I was just about to leave the palace.
00:39:42.550 --> 00:39:43.650
Come with me.
00:40:03.230 --> 00:40:04.230
Come out!
00:40:24.110 --> 00:40:25.110
Luo?
00:40:38.110 --> 00:40:39.420
You managed to find this place.
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:41.760
I told you
00:40:42.150 --> 00:40:43.610
that I would never spare you.
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:45.210
If you want to kill him, kill me first.
00:40:45.230 --> 00:40:46.230
Cangcang.
00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:51.340
You are my empress.
00:40:51.840 --> 00:40:53.210
Why would I kill you?
00:41:14.230 --> 00:41:15.230
Cangcang.
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:20.090
You sought me out today
00:41:20.590 --> 00:41:22.420
to urge me to send troops to Jiangzhou
00:41:22.510 --> 00:41:24.420
and save your brother, Ling Jueding.
00:41:24.670 --> 00:41:25.670
Yet now
00:41:26.000 --> 00:41:27.900
you risk your life to protect Luo Xianxue.
00:41:29.150 --> 00:41:30.150
My dear,
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:32.090
you certainly care for many people.
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:34.740
I am the only one you
never hold in your heart.
00:41:34.760 --> 00:41:36.420
I once held you in mine.
00:41:36.710 --> 00:41:37.980
How did you treat me then?
00:41:45.150 --> 00:41:46.570
We truly cannot go back?
00:41:47.150 --> 00:41:48.170
From the very beginning,
00:41:48.190 --> 00:41:49.510
there was only deceit between us.
00:41:55.360 --> 00:41:56.360
In that case,
00:41:56.920 --> 00:41:58.690
if you kill Luo Xianxue with your own hand,
00:41:59.230 --> 00:42:01.490
I may consider sending aid to Jiangzhou.
00:42:03.110 --> 00:42:04.130
You're mad.
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:06.210
If you will not strike,
00:42:06.670 --> 00:42:07.690
I can do it for you.
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:38.610
Do you mean to save Luo Xianxue,
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:41.300
or your brother, Ling Jueding?
00:42:41.550 --> 00:42:42.550
Xiao Huan!
00:42:43.030 --> 00:42:44.170
You are a sovereign.
00:42:44.230 --> 00:42:45.780
How can you trifle with lives?
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:48.460
Yet you force me to
send troops without heed.
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:49.130
Is that not also
00:42:49.150 --> 00:42:50.130
treating other lives
00:42:50.150 --> 00:42:51.150
as trifles?
00:42:51.480 --> 00:42:52.300
Jiangzhou and Xuzhou
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:53.860
are both part of my realm.
00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.010
The Grand Tutor forces me to choose,
00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:57.690
so I shall show him
00:42:58.000 --> 00:42:59.340
