[Love & Crown]
00:01:28.221 --> 00:01:29.979
[Adapted from the novel
"My Queen" by Xie Lounan]
00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:32.980
[Episode 14]
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:38.900
The realm's foundation
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:40.410
lies with a worthy heir.
00:01:40.870 --> 00:01:42.380
The peace of the four corners
00:01:42.510 --> 00:01:44.100
rests on his rightful line.
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.460
I rule all under heaven,
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.770
bearing the enduring
mandate of the divinities,
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.340
and the weight of all my people.
00:01:51.590 --> 00:01:54.330
Yet I am laid low by illness
00:01:54.430 --> 00:01:55.900
and my health has not returned.
00:01:56.430 --> 00:01:57.900
Remnant rebels still lurk,
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.570
the Central Plains are racked by war,
00:01:59.790 --> 00:02:01.180
and the great affairs of war and state
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:02.740
demand careful counsel and decision.
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.290
Thus I appoint Prince of
Yuzhang, Xiao Qianqing,
00:02:06.790 --> 00:02:08.820
granting him power over
rewards and punishments,
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.560
and entrusting him with
all military and state affairs.
00:02:11.630 --> 00:02:14.730
By this decree, he shall act as Regent.
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.410
We'll do all we can to
assist Your Highness.
00:02:30.630 --> 00:02:32.450
I second that.
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.170
His Majesty has spoken.
00:02:34.630 --> 00:02:37.220
I will serve as Regent for now.
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:38.690
Ministers,
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:40.640
do you have any matters to report?
00:02:45.910 --> 00:02:47.380
Your Highness,
00:02:48.710 --> 00:02:49.710
some time ago,
00:02:49.870 --> 00:02:51.100
the Empress fell ill
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.256
and went to the imperial
retreat to recover.
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.280
But now,
00:02:54.630 --> 00:02:56.500
His Majesty is unwell as well.
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.940
Ever since Her Majesty was enthroned,
00:03:00.150 --> 00:03:01.980
misfortunes have plagued the palace.
00:03:02.310 --> 00:03:06.780
I worry that when their
birth dates were matched,
00:03:07.590 --> 00:03:09.170
something may have gone wrong.
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:13.340
You mean
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.260
their birth charts don't match?
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:16.610
Utter nonsense!
00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:19.970
His Majesty only fell ill
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.980
from all these recent
disasters and troubles.
00:03:23.710 --> 00:03:25.820
It has nothing to do with the Empress.
00:03:26.190 --> 00:03:30.290
Minister Xing is deliberately
finding fault with Her Majesty.
00:03:30.310 --> 00:03:31.550
Such behavior is disrespectful!
00:03:33.630 --> 00:03:35.340
Please judge fairly, Your Highness.
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:38.980
In matters this serious,
00:03:39.190 --> 00:03:41.060
it's not my place to decide.
00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:44.610
Grand Tutor Ling, why
don't you ask His Majesty
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.100
and look in on the Empress as well?
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:57.520
Enough.
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:58.660
This kind of talk
00:03:58.680 --> 00:03:59.940
ends here.
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.690
I ask you all not to gossip idly
about the Emperor and Empress.
00:04:03.910 --> 00:04:05.510
Let us focus our minds on state affairs.
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:08.540
Kumor's siege of Jiangzhou
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:09.890
has yet to be broken.
00:04:10.910 --> 00:04:11.910
Grand Tutor Ling,
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.000
what do you think?
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.610
I agree.
00:04:28.070 --> 00:04:30.020
Your Highness is absolutely right.
00:04:30.070 --> 00:04:32.246
The crisis in Jiangzhou concerns
the very foundation of our state.
00:04:32.270 --> 00:04:34.490
As for the second batch
of grain for Jiangzhou,
00:04:34.510 --> 00:04:36.930
I urge Your Highness to
send it out as soon as possible.
00:04:37.400 --> 00:04:38.400
- Yes. - Indeed.
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:51.930
How is the disaster situation in Xuzhou?
00:04:52.830 --> 00:04:54.290
I have received word
00:04:54.430 --> 00:04:56.630
that the locust plague in
Xuzhou is growing ever worse,
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:58.810
and the relief grain is
but a drop in the bucket.
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.050
The supplies we sent
earlier are nearly gone.
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:05.980
Both Jiangzhou and Xuzhou
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:07.370
are crying out for grain.
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.170
What are we to do?
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:11.810
They are all subjects of Great Qi.
00:05:13.510 --> 00:05:15.930
I am truly troubled by this.
00:05:18.630 --> 00:05:19.630
Eunuch Feng,
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:21.660
my head aches terribly.
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:23.290
Let us adjourn court for today.
00:05:23.310 --> 00:05:24.100
We will discuss this another day.
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.120
Yes, of course.
00:05:33.950 --> 00:05:36.730
We respectfully see Your Highness out.
00:05:42.220 --> 00:05:44.940
[Ling Manor]
00:05:52.420 --> 00:06:00.420
[Brush and Ink]
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:04.100
It's one thing
00:06:04.430 --> 00:06:06.810
for Prince of Yuzhang to
throw his weight around,
00:06:06.870 --> 00:06:09.100
but what was he playing at
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:10.240
in court today?
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:13.900
He wouldn't even release
the grain for Jiangzhou,
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.730
yet he deliberately steered things
to the locust plague in Xuzhou.
00:06:16.830 --> 00:06:18.460
The grain in the state granary
00:06:18.970 --> 00:06:20.700
was clearly raised by
the Grand Tutor himself
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.980
from the grain merchants!
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:24.360
Exactly.
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.440
The military situation
in Jiangzhou is urgent.
00:06:26.510 --> 00:06:28.850
The border war concerns the
very foundation of the realm.
00:06:28.950 --> 00:06:31.370
The locust plague in Xuzhou
is an internal trouble at best.
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:32.700
What matters most now
00:06:32.750 --> 00:06:35.850
is to secure supplies
for the border troops.
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.000
Given how things stand,
00:06:37.190 --> 00:06:39.410
we might as well go straight to His Majesty
00:06:39.430 --> 00:06:40.926
and lodge a complaint
against Prince of Yuzhang!
00:06:40.950 --> 00:06:42.220
- Yes! - Exactly!
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.240
Enough.
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.280
As for the grain,
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:49.930
I know what to do.
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.660
It's getting late.
00:06:53.630 --> 00:06:54.700
Sirs,
00:06:55.070 --> 00:06:56.070
you may all retire.
00:07:11.270 --> 00:07:12.270
My Lord.
00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:16.340
You will depart for Xuzhou at once.
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.460
Tell the Governor of Xuzhou
00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:21.750
that I've backed him every step
of the way to where he is now,
00:07:22.630 --> 00:07:23.900
and it's about time
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:26.190
he repaid the favor.
00:07:27.390 --> 00:07:28.390
Yes, My Lord.
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:35.610
I don't care what the disaster
in Xuzhou is really like.
00:07:36.430 --> 00:07:37.930
The report that comes back to the Capital
00:07:37.950 --> 00:07:39.020
must say...
00:07:40.430 --> 00:07:41.850
the locust plague has passed.
00:07:43.190 --> 00:07:46.140
Send this to the Governor
of Xuzhou as well.
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.000
At once, My Lord.
00:07:54.310 --> 00:07:56.140
A child playing at power?
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:00.910
Xiao Qianqing,
00:08:00.950 --> 00:08:03.730
since you insist on hearing
about Xuzhou's disaster,
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.170
I'll make sure you get an answer
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.480
that you'll be pleased with.
00:08:13.390 --> 00:08:15.166
When you presided over
court as Regent today,
00:08:15.190 --> 00:08:17.020
did Ling Xuefeng give you a hard time?
00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:18.600
He wouldn't dare.
00:08:18.870 --> 00:08:20.900
I'm not as mild-tempered as my brother.
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:22.850
If that old man ever tries to push me,
00:08:22.870 --> 00:08:23.870
I'll...
00:08:24.310 --> 00:08:25.370
I'll drive him mad.
00:08:28.390 --> 00:08:30.220
I never expected Xiao Huan
00:08:30.950 --> 00:08:32.770
to make a move like this.
00:08:33.790 --> 00:08:35.100
Making you Regent
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.940
might be to pit you against Ling Xuefeng.
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:40.480
Don't let yourself
00:08:40.510 --> 00:08:43.820
be used as someone else's blade.
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:46.960
He...
00:08:48.150 --> 00:08:49.460
really is seriously ill?
00:08:51.750 --> 00:08:52.700
When I saw him last night,
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.580
he looked in terrible shape,
00:08:54.750 --> 00:08:56.100
like he might not make it.
00:08:57.720 --> 00:08:59.730
His retreat is sealed up tight.
00:08:59.750 --> 00:09:01.940
I can't get any of my people in at all.
00:09:02.550 --> 00:09:04.820
I truly don't know what game he's playing.
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.460
Now he's dumped this mess on you.
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:11.370
Is he hoping you'll stumble
00:09:11.750 --> 00:09:13.370
so he can send you back to Southern Chu?
00:09:13.870 --> 00:09:16.100
Then we'll see if he
really has that ability.
00:09:17.270 --> 00:09:18.490
My brother
00:09:18.870 --> 00:09:20.530
has always been deeply scheming.
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.420
Every step he takes,
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:25.280
he's already planned three moves ahead.
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:26.976
It even exhausts me just watching him.
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:29.040
But this time, I won't let
him lead me by the nose.
00:09:30.300 --> 00:09:31.870
All right, Mother,
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:32.960
let's not talk about him.
00:09:33.030 --> 00:09:35.980
How has Ying been lately?
00:09:37.390 --> 00:09:38.390
Get out!
00:09:38.550 --> 00:09:39.490
I told you I'm not eating!
00:09:39.510 --> 00:09:40.530
Stop bothering me!
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.000
Li Hongqing!
00:09:46.870 --> 00:09:47.870
You're here.
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:49.360
Your Highness.
00:09:52.390 --> 00:09:54.010
What took you so long?
00:09:57.030 --> 00:09:58.030
Come with me.
00:09:58.200 --> 00:09:59.980
Look what I've prepared for you.
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.820
I studied all kinds of
venomous snakes myself
00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:14.610
to make this jar of powder
that wards off every snake.
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:20.840
Here, take it.
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.360
Impressive, right?
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:25.650
So Guard Wang Xiong
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:27.730
almost lost his life
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:29.460
because of this "research" of yours?
00:10:32.750 --> 00:10:34.650
He really was bitten by a venomous snake.
00:10:34.870 --> 00:10:36.820
How long will you keep
making trouble like this?
00:10:38.670 --> 00:10:40.250
Being a princess doesn't mean
you can do whatever you want
00:10:40.270 --> 00:10:41.610
and ignore other people's lives!
00:10:44.670 --> 00:10:45.890
I didn't.
00:10:46.870 --> 00:10:48.060
Have you forgotten?
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:49.300
You ordered people
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:50.490
to lock him in with those snakes.
00:10:50.510 --> 00:10:51.730
He nearly died!
00:10:54.630 --> 00:10:55.630
But...
00:10:55.910 --> 00:10:57.300
he told me
00:10:57.550 --> 00:10:58.980
he grew up in the south
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:00.580
and wasn't afraid of snakes.
00:11:02.150 --> 00:11:03.150
And besides,
00:11:03.550 --> 00:11:05.420
I even gave him protection.
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:07.940
I never meant to harm him.
00:11:08.750 --> 00:11:09.890
I didn't...
00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.220
I never wanted to hurt him.
00:11:14.630 --> 00:11:16.580
I never wanted to hurt him.
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:18.460
It's you,
00:11:18.870 --> 00:11:19.870
all of you...
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:21.850
You're the ones trying to hurt me,
00:11:22.790 --> 00:11:24.340
every last one of you!
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.130
Only when you stand firm at court
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.250
will Ying and I really have support.
00:11:32.550 --> 00:11:35.650
If we can get rid of Ling
Xuefeng while you're still Regent,
00:11:36.390 --> 00:11:37.390
even better.
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:39.820
We have to seize this chance.
00:11:40.750 --> 00:11:42.300
The more serious the disaster becomes,
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.100
the more it works in our favor.
00:11:44.440 --> 00:11:45.440
However,
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.160
we have to know where to draw the line.
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:54.010
Your Majesty,
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:55.650
Eunuch Feng is waiting outside,
00:11:55.760 --> 00:11:58.060
urging His Highness to
review today's memorials.
00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:03.200
Understood.
00:12:05.750 --> 00:12:06.750
Mother,
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:07.960
I'll take my leave.
00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:25.660
[Xuanguang Gate]
00:12:25.670 --> 00:12:26.820
Greetings, Your Highness.
00:12:27.390 --> 00:12:28.530
Your Highness,
00:12:28.550 --> 00:12:30.300
it's getting late.
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.980
Should we move to Wuying Hall now?
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:34.130
What's the rush?
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.060
These memorials will never run out.
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:38.370
Let's just
00:12:38.390 --> 00:12:39.390
wait a little longer.
00:12:39.510 --> 00:12:40.510
Your Highness,
00:12:40.550 --> 00:12:41.420
how about this?
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:42.800
If there's anything you need done,
00:12:42.910 --> 00:12:44.460
I can handle it for you.
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.000
Oh?
00:12:46.150 --> 00:12:47.850
I'm going to visit my sister.
00:12:47.870 --> 00:12:49.310
Can you do that in my place as well?
00:12:49.750 --> 00:12:50.940
I wouldn't dare.
00:12:51.270 --> 00:12:52.060
But...
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:53.820
Just give me a moment.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.130
Once I've checked on my sister,
00:12:55.150 --> 00:12:56.770
I'll dutifully go through the memorials.
00:12:56.790 --> 00:12:57.790
All right?
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:01.850
Why not find someone to haul me back?
00:13:01.870 --> 00:13:02.870
Your Highness.
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:04.460
Listen, Your Highness...
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:31.360
Qianqing!
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.370
These are all new poisons
I cooked up in secret.
00:13:35.390 --> 00:13:36.580
When you have time,
00:13:37.550 --> 00:13:38.650
try them out on Xiao Huan!
00:13:43.630 --> 00:13:44.630
Ying,
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:46.580
you need to behave.
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:47.850
Promise me,
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.700
don't hurt people with poison anymore,
00:13:50.790 --> 00:13:51.790
all right?
00:13:58.870 --> 00:13:59.870
Why?
00:14:05.210 --> 00:14:06.680
Do you all think
00:14:07.270 --> 00:14:08.730
I'll end up killing someone?
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:11.850
I never meant to hurt anyone.
00:14:12.800 --> 00:14:13.980
Except Xiao Huan,
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.370
I've never wanted to hurt anyone else.
00:14:17.390 --> 00:14:18.890
You have to believe me.
00:14:18.910 --> 00:14:19.650
I do.
00:14:19.790 --> 00:14:21.100
Of course I believe you.
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:23.130
You're so kind.
00:14:23.550 --> 00:14:25.270
How could you possibly want to hurt anyone?
00:14:25.510 --> 00:14:26.850
Guard Wang was poisoned by that snake.
00:14:26.870 --> 00:14:28.220
It clearly wasn't my fault,
00:14:29.390 --> 00:14:31.530
yet Li Hongqing is still angry.
00:14:32.150 --> 00:14:33.250
He blames me,
00:14:33.670 --> 00:14:34.750
and I'm not happy about it.
00:14:36.270 --> 00:14:37.270
Then,
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:39.010
let's drag Li Hongqing over here
00:14:39.030 --> 00:14:40.030
and teach him a lesson.
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:41.780
Better not.
00:14:42.040 --> 00:14:43.480
I won't lower myself to his level.
00:14:54.910 --> 00:14:55.910
You like him?
00:14:59.870 --> 00:15:01.730
Then if we drag Li Hongqing over
00:15:01.750 --> 00:15:02.976
and make him my brother-in-law,
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:04.000
that wouldn't be so bad.
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:05.420
I don't like him at all.
00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:08.840
How about this?
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:10.460
I'll bring him here
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:11.530
and make him apologize to you.
00:15:11.550 --> 00:15:12.550
What do you think?
00:15:14.510 --> 00:15:15.510
Really?
00:15:15.910 --> 00:15:17.730
When have I ever lied to you?
00:15:39.750 --> 00:15:41.850
If you could stay this simple and happy
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:43.816
and keep living in your own little world,
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:45.610
it might be a blessing in its own way.
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.180
Without facing people's tangled schemes,
00:15:49.030 --> 00:15:50.850
you wouldn't be hurt even more.
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:57.360
Your Highness,
00:15:57.390 --> 00:15:58.460
time's up.
00:15:58.750 --> 00:16:00.550
You need to go back
and review the memorials.
00:16:06.150 --> 00:16:07.150
Ying,
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:09.820
time's almost up.
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:11.360
I have to go.
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:12.960
I'll come see you next time.
00:16:16.970 --> 00:16:17.970
Qianqing.
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.730
Could you give me some silver?
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:25.130
What do you need silver for?
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:26.360
I need it.
00:16:27.910 --> 00:16:29.250
For something very important!
00:16:52.630 --> 00:16:53.730
Your Majesty,
00:16:54.150 --> 00:16:55.610
did you sleep well?
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:00.940
I prepared this especially for you.
00:17:01.790 --> 00:17:02.790
Have a taste.
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.010
I stole your grain,
00:17:08.590 --> 00:17:10.270
yet now you are letting bygones be bygones
00:17:11.510 --> 00:17:13.290
and treating me like an honored guest?
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:15.900
That's a separate matter.
00:17:16.790 --> 00:17:18.180
You robbed my grain,
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:20.680
and I almost used you as
an offering to rally my troops.
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.620
The supplies are already on their way.
00:17:25.030 --> 00:17:27.220
You won't so much as shake me.
00:17:41.350 --> 00:17:42.350
Your Majesty,
00:17:42.830 --> 00:17:43.830
please.
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:53.530
Then I won't stand on ceremony.
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.770
Please enjoy, Your Majesty.
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:02.940
I told you, I'm not the Empress.
00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:07.860
You're not the Empress?
00:18:08.830 --> 00:18:10.010
Then who are you?
00:18:10.590 --> 00:18:11.290
My surname is Lin,
00:18:11.310 --> 00:18:11.940
L-i-n.
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:12.960
I'm Lin Cangcang.
00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:15.490
Then how do you explain...
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:20.290
this Phoenix Seal?
00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:35.380
I stole it.
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:37.000
You stole it?
00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:43.570
The Phoenix Seal belongs to the Empress.
00:18:43.790 --> 00:18:46.220
It's kept safe deep in the palace.
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.920
How did you steal it?
00:18:49.110 --> 00:18:50.180
With my skills,
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:51.860
stealing it was child's play.
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:53.090
What's so strange about that?
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:55.900
But, of all the things you could steal,
00:18:56.350 --> 00:18:58.090
why steal the Phoenix Seal?
00:19:01.270 --> 00:19:02.290
Well,
00:19:03.070 --> 00:19:04.810
that's a long story.
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:05.920
No rush.
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:08.680
I've got
00:19:09.070 --> 00:19:10.220
plenty of time.
00:19:17.030 --> 00:19:18.810
Have you heard of the Lingbi Sect?
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:20.240
Heard of it.
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:21.700
It's pretty famous.
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:24.859
They say the Lingbi Sect leader's token
00:19:24.860 --> 00:19:26.180
ended up in the Emperor's hands.
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.800
That's actually what I went in to steal.
00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:29.000
But somehow,
00:19:29.790 --> 00:19:31.190
I ended up with this thing instead.
00:19:33.070 --> 00:19:34.700
Then why did you join the army?
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:37.140
Pure coincidence.
00:19:37.510 --> 00:19:38.620
I left the palace in armor,
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:39.940
ran into the reinforcements heading west,
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:41.400
and they brought me out of the city.
00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.730
You really took the long way around.
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:48.420
And you just slipped into
the reinforcements like that?
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:49.440
Is it impossible?
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:51.240
Sure, it's possible.
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.810
But from the Capital to
Jiangzhou is a long road.
00:19:55.270 --> 00:19:57.010
Why didn't you run off on the way?
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:58.380
Why would I run?
00:19:58.480 --> 00:19:59.460
There's food in the army,
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:00.600
and the marching isn't hard.
00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:01.750
Besides,
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.700
once I got here, I even earned merit.
00:20:03.830 --> 00:20:05.530
So why not wait till I get my pay?
00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:07.440
Sure,
00:20:08.510 --> 00:20:09.570
keep spinning your story.
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:12.220
You really think I would believe
00:20:12.720 --> 00:20:14.420
that pack of nonsense?
00:20:22.590 --> 00:20:23.590
Suit yourself,
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:25.330
believe it or don't.
00:20:35.310 --> 00:20:36.310
Kuminjia,
00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:39.530
for a dignified princess to
use such dirty tricks to catch me
00:20:39.670 --> 00:20:40.980
is hardly an honorable win.
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.530
You robbed my grain first.
00:20:42.790 --> 00:20:44.140
If we're talking dirty tricks,
00:20:44.310 --> 00:20:45.530
I can't hold a candle to you.
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.570
And now you're trying to goad me?
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:48.860
I'm not falling for it.
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:50.460
Fine by me,
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:51.900
saves me the trouble.
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:54.460
I've lived rough as a wandering thief.
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:56.770
Being kept here with good food
00:20:57.070 --> 00:20:58.070
isn't such a bad deal.
00:20:59.070 --> 00:21:01.660
Your Majesty, you really
do know how to joke.
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:03.420
I told you, I'm not the Empress.
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:04.420
What,
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:05.940
does the great commander of Xijiang
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.900
really have to use the
Empress to threaten Great Qi?
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:12.980
You've been besieging Jiangzhou City
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:14.900
for over a month already
00:21:15.020 --> 00:21:16.180
and still haven't taken it.
00:21:17.230 --> 00:21:19.580
No wonder you're turning to shady tricks.
00:21:21.120 --> 00:21:22.120
Your Majesty,
00:21:22.710 --> 00:21:23.780
provoking me like that
00:21:24.190 --> 00:21:25.650
won't work at all.
00:21:27.270 --> 00:21:28.900
I'm just stating the facts.
00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:34.300
You stay calm even in danger,
00:21:35.840 --> 00:21:37.650
truly impressive.
00:21:39.840 --> 00:21:41.450
Ling Jueding just sent word:
00:21:41.950 --> 00:21:43.010
in five days,
00:21:43.230 --> 00:21:45.900
Great Qi's envoys will
come to make peace with me.
00:21:46.600 --> 00:21:48.380
Who you really are
00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:50.780
will be clear soon enough.
00:21:58.840 --> 00:21:59.840
All right then.
00:22:15.190 --> 00:22:17.170
You really are quite something.
00:22:18.470 --> 00:22:19.470
What a pity.
00:22:20.670 --> 00:22:21.670
A pity about what?
00:22:22.360 --> 00:22:23.780
Pity you're a woman.
00:22:24.230 --> 00:22:25.230
Otherwise,
00:22:25.270 --> 00:22:28.010
I might have taken pity on your looks,
00:22:28.030 --> 00:22:29.510
begged my brother to spare your life,
00:22:29.670 --> 00:22:31.030
and kept you for my own amusement.
00:22:33.670 --> 00:22:35.730
You should come to Great Qi instead.
00:22:36.470 --> 00:22:37.970
Great Qi is vast and rich.
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:39.560
If there's one thing we never lack,
00:22:39.750 --> 00:22:41.780
it's fine men everywhere.
00:22:42.270 --> 00:22:43.780
You'd love it there.
00:22:45.190 --> 00:22:46.300
Quit trying to fool me.
00:22:46.510 --> 00:22:47.730
Just sit tight and behave!
00:22:58.950 --> 00:22:59.950
Everyone,
00:23:00.800 --> 00:23:02.380
let's rest up while we can
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.200
and be ready to move at any time.
00:23:04.320 --> 00:23:05.320
Yes, Sir!
00:23:15.360 --> 00:23:16.360
Greetings, Madam.
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:18.860
May I ask why you summoned me,
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:19.880
Madam?
00:23:20.840 --> 00:23:22.210
General Lu Qi,
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:24.860
at the Qingyu Guard's marching speed,
00:23:25.400 --> 00:23:27.620
how long until we reach Jiangzhou?
00:23:28.640 --> 00:23:29.640
Madam,
00:23:30.710 --> 00:23:33.010
this time our escort is
under a hundred riders,
00:23:33.430 --> 00:23:34.690
mostly light cavalry.
00:23:35.080 --> 00:23:36.780
If we push day and night,
00:23:37.230 --> 00:23:39.410
we can be in Jiangzhou in three days.
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.820
Then please pass the order:
00:23:47.510 --> 00:23:49.060
rest tomorrow
00:23:49.470 --> 00:23:51.390
and depart the day after
tomorrow at midmorning.
00:23:52.470 --> 00:23:53.470
Madam,
00:23:53.840 --> 00:23:54.840
why is that?
00:23:54.990 --> 00:23:56.950
The enemy's momentum
hits hardest the first time,
00:23:57.160 --> 00:23:58.210
weaker the second,
00:23:58.600 --> 00:23:59.620
gone the third.
00:24:00.670 --> 00:24:02.170
The more we rush,
00:24:02.800 --> 00:24:05.010
the more we play right into Kumor's hands.
00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:07.400
Let him wait.
00:24:09.190 --> 00:24:10.580
Wear down his edge.
00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:15.250
He'll calm down and
make peace with Great Qi.
00:24:16.270 --> 00:24:17.270
But...
00:24:17.560 --> 00:24:18.860
I've heard one of our men
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:20.380
has been taken hostage by Kumor.
00:24:20.560 --> 00:24:21.340
That man
00:24:21.560 --> 00:24:22.580
is vital to us.
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:23.820
Precisely because of that,
00:24:24.990 --> 00:24:26.170
this is what we must do.
00:24:30.600 --> 00:24:31.970
Trust me, General Lu.
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:36.406
His Majesty personally
chose the Qingyu Guard
00:24:36.430 --> 00:24:37.540
to escort you.
00:24:38.320 --> 00:24:41.010
We'll naturally follow your lead.
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:51.160
Ling Cangcang,
00:24:51.560 --> 00:24:52.920
don't blame me for being ruthless.
00:24:53.470 --> 00:24:55.300
Everything I do is for Great Qi.
00:24:56.710 --> 00:24:59.170
Since Kumor is betting that
you're the Empress of Great Qi,
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:01.210
if I arrive a few days late,
00:25:01.560 --> 00:25:03.580
he still won't dare lay a finger on you.
00:25:39.230 --> 00:25:40.380
Your Highness.
00:26:11.560 --> 00:26:12.340
Your Highness,
00:26:12.560 --> 00:26:14.060
it's time for you
00:26:14.190 --> 00:26:15.650
to review the memorials now.
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:17.820
Aren't I reading them right now?
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:18.880
Why in such a hurry?
00:26:18.950 --> 00:26:19.950
Still, Your Highness,
00:26:20.030 --> 00:26:22.490
you're holding that memorial upside down.
00:26:30.030 --> 00:26:31.630
What are you laughing at, Your Highness?
00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:34.540
At how unlikeable my
imperial brother's face is.
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.100
The ministers are all
hoping he'll die soon.
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:38.400
Your Highness,
00:26:38.750 --> 00:26:40.450
you can't say such treasonous things
00:26:40.470 --> 00:26:42.210
so carelessly.
00:26:42.230 --> 00:26:43.230
Look at this one:
00:26:43.470 --> 00:26:45.580
the prefect specially
memorializes the throne,
00:26:46.080 --> 00:26:48.210
saying it's been warm with little rain,
00:26:48.230 --> 00:26:50.380
so this year's lychees
will be a bumper crop
00:26:50.600 --> 00:26:51.600
and delicious, too.
00:26:53.080 --> 00:26:54.080
And this one:
00:26:54.710 --> 00:26:56.390
"I am asking after Your Majesty's health."
00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:59.380
All these pointless memorials
00:26:59.950 --> 00:27:01.730
are enough to work my
poor brother to death.
00:27:01.750 --> 00:27:02.580
Your Highness,
00:27:02.670 --> 00:27:05.210
that's their way of showing loyalty.
00:27:06.950 --> 00:27:07.950
Being emperor
00:27:08.360 --> 00:27:10.100
really isn't a job for any normal person.
00:27:10.320 --> 00:27:11.820
I see that now.
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:14.170
My imperial brother dumped the burden on me
00:27:14.230 --> 00:27:16.340
just to make me do all
the hard labor for him.
00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:18.120
Your Highness,
00:27:20.270 --> 00:27:21.380
please watch your tongue!
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:23.010
All right,
00:27:23.360 --> 00:27:24.650
drop the act.
00:27:25.270 --> 00:27:27.100
When my brother comes back,
00:27:27.230 --> 00:27:29.650
your old bones will be
worn out from kneeling.
00:27:30.060 --> 00:27:31.000
[Local locust control is
already showing results.]
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:31.800
[No grain shortages
or unrest are reported.]
00:27:31.801 --> 00:27:33.881
[The Locust plague is
expected to be resolved soon.]
00:27:36.360 --> 00:27:37.340
Your Highness,
00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:38.820
why are you laughing again?
00:27:39.560 --> 00:27:41.010
The Governor of Xuzhou reports
00:27:41.470 --> 00:27:43.330
that the authorities acted in time,
00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:44.896
the locust plague is
no longer a real threat,
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:46.970
and the people are not short of grain.
00:27:48.710 --> 00:27:50.730
Looks like our Grand Tutor Ling
00:27:50.750 --> 00:27:52.250
is quite efficient.
00:27:53.560 --> 00:27:54.340
All right.
00:27:54.470 --> 00:27:55.470
I'm tired.
00:27:55.710 --> 00:27:58.140
I'm going to the hot
spring retreat to relax.
00:27:58.270 --> 00:27:59.780
Tell Li Hongqing:
00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:01.970
If you want me to keep reviewing memorials,
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:03.640
he'll have to come invite me himself.
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:04.620
Your Highness,
00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:05.970
oh...
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:08.380
Your Highness...
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:52.440
Carry on with your patrol.
00:28:53.320 --> 00:28:54.320
Commander Li!
00:28:54.750 --> 00:28:55.750
Commander Li!
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:58.210
Please wait, Commander Li.
00:29:00.270 --> 00:29:01.376
What can I do for you, Eunuch Feng?
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:02.250
Commander Li,
00:29:02.360 --> 00:29:04.300
I'd like to ask you a favor.
00:29:05.080 --> 00:29:07.040
- I'm not going to the cold palace again.
- No...
00:29:07.470 --> 00:29:08.250
Commander Li,
00:29:08.270 --> 00:29:09.010
this time,
00:29:09.190 --> 00:29:10.860
it's not to see Princess Ying.
00:29:11.120 --> 00:29:14.450
This time we need you
to fetch Prince of Yuzhang.
00:29:15.710 --> 00:29:16.710
Prince of Yuzhang?
00:29:16.840 --> 00:29:17.620
Yes.
00:29:17.800 --> 00:29:18.800
Prince of Yuzhang
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:20.300
is off soaking in hot springs,
00:29:20.560 --> 00:29:21.580
with a pile of memorials
00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:24.140
still waiting for his review.
00:29:24.360 --> 00:29:25.620
Then get someone to drag him back.
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:26.640
Why come to me?
00:29:27.270 --> 00:29:28.300
Commander Li,
00:29:28.320 --> 00:29:30.410
who is Prince of Yuzhang?
00:29:30.470 --> 00:29:32.930
He's not someone just anyone can summon.
00:29:32.950 --> 00:29:34.580
He already said
00:29:34.600 --> 00:29:36.450
that if we want him back at the palace,
00:29:37.510 --> 00:29:39.210
Commander Li
00:29:39.950 --> 00:29:41.060
must go in person.
00:29:41.320 --> 00:29:42.970
Please, do a good deed today
00:29:43.710 --> 00:29:45.100
and save this old servant.
00:29:48.320 --> 00:29:50.210
Those siblings really are troublesome.
00:29:50.840 --> 00:29:52.210
Tell me about it.
00:29:52.430 --> 00:29:54.580
Commander Li, thank you for this!
00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:23.930
Who...
00:30:23.950 --> 00:30:24.950
who's there?
00:30:29.710 --> 00:30:30.710
You're here.
00:30:31.030 --> 00:30:32.340
In the middle of the night,
00:30:32.510 --> 00:30:34.230
you called me here just to watch you bathe?
00:30:35.270 --> 00:30:37.100
Naturally, I have serious business.
00:30:39.230 --> 00:30:40.490
Right now, for me,
00:30:40.510 --> 00:30:42.780
only Cangcang's whereabouts
count as serious business.
00:30:43.030 --> 00:30:44.730
If it's not about her,
00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:45.860
we're done talking.
00:30:46.750 --> 00:30:47.750
Zhong Lin,
00:30:47.950 --> 00:30:49.780
you're breaking our deal.
00:30:51.160 --> 00:30:52.970
Your Highness, that's not fair!
00:30:53.360 --> 00:30:55.300
I've been pretending to
be Song Lanxi for so long.
00:30:55.320 --> 00:30:56.580
I've done plenty for you!
00:30:56.750 --> 00:30:59.170
Now, on the surface, Cangcang
is said to be at the retreat,
00:30:59.230 --> 00:31:00.100
but in truth,
00:31:00.230 --> 00:31:01.270
no one knows where she is!
00:31:01.560 --> 00:31:02.970
There has to be more to it.
00:31:03.710 --> 00:31:04.820
Miss Zhong,
00:31:05.750 --> 00:31:07.340
help me one more time,
00:31:07.470 --> 00:31:08.250
and I promise...
00:31:08.270 --> 00:31:10.060
Your promises are worthless.
00:31:45.500 --> 00:31:46.500
Your Highness.
00:31:48.950 --> 00:31:49.410
Down...
00:31:49.880 --> 00:31:50.490
Get down!
00:31:50.510 --> 00:31:51.140
Down!
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:52.160
Quick!
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:03.160
Your Highness,
00:32:03.510 --> 00:32:05.300
I was sent by Eunuch Feng
00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:06.640
to bring you back to the palace.
00:32:07.560 --> 00:32:08.860
What's the rush?
00:32:08.950 --> 00:32:10.170
Wait outside.
00:32:10.600 --> 00:32:12.100
Once I've had my fill of soaking,
00:32:12.120 --> 00:32:13.250
I'll go out on my own.
00:32:22.750 --> 00:32:24.010
Then I'll stand right here
00:32:24.050 --> 00:32:25.170
until you do, Your Highness.
00:32:25.230 --> 00:32:26.230
Insolent!
00:32:26.360 --> 00:32:27.580
How am I supposed to get out
00:32:30.750 --> 00:32:31.820
with you standing there?
00:32:31.990 --> 00:32:33.340
Just... turn around.
00:32:34.030 --> 00:32:35.030
Yes, Your Highness.
00:32:59.230 --> 00:33:00.230
Commander Li,
00:33:00.360 --> 00:33:02.200
are you really going to
stand there and watch?
00:33:15.710 --> 00:33:16.710
You...
00:33:17.030 --> 00:33:18.450
you actually slapped me in the face!
00:33:18.470 --> 00:33:19.650
And I meant every slap.
00:33:20.320 --> 00:33:21.860
Shameless!
00:33:24.950 --> 00:33:26.189
- Miss Zhong. - Let go!
00:33:26.190 --> 00:33:27.450
- Miss Zhong. - Let go of me!
00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:00.920
I'm leaving.
00:34:01.670 --> 00:34:02.670
Wait!
00:34:02.840 --> 00:34:03.840
Miss...
00:34:04.560 --> 00:34:05.560
Miss Zhong...
00:34:06.800 --> 00:34:08.050
Vice Sect Leader Zhong...
00:34:08.470 --> 00:34:09.820
Sect Leader Zhong!
00:34:12.030 --> 00:34:13.030
I'm begging you.
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:16.010
Please go to Xuzhou in my place.
00:34:16.030 --> 00:34:17.030
Not going!
00:34:18.720 --> 00:34:20.010
The locust plague in Xuzhou
00:34:20.510 --> 00:34:21.630
is getting worse by the day.
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:23.490
Grand Tutor Ling and the Governor of Xuzhou
00:34:23.510 --> 00:34:25.740
have joined hands to hide the truth there.
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:28.490
They are forcing me to
send grain to Jiangzhou.
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.660
What does that have to do with me?
00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:35.110
I came to the Capital to look for Cangcang.
00:34:35.150 --> 00:34:36.490
Now she's vanished without a trace.
00:34:36.510 --> 00:34:37.930
Why would I run off to Xuzhou?
00:34:41.150 --> 00:34:42.190
What's happening in Xuzhou
00:34:42.510 --> 00:34:44.180
affects Ling Cangcang's safety.
00:34:44.680 --> 00:34:45.680
What do you mean?
00:34:46.630 --> 00:34:48.180
Fine, I'll be honest with you.
00:34:48.590 --> 00:34:51.090
Ling Cangcang is in Jiangzhou,
00:34:51.430 --> 00:34:53.070
and Xiao Huan has already gone after her.
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:54.740
So Ling Cangcang's safety
00:34:55.150 --> 00:34:57.010
isn't yours to worry about.
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:58.860
But the disaster in Xuzhou
00:34:59.070 --> 00:35:00.660
is tied to Jiangzhou's crisis.
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:02.380
Only by easing Xuzhou's troubles
00:35:02.550 --> 00:35:04.220
can we save Jiangzhou.
00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:07.570
What kind of nonsense is that?
00:35:08.150 --> 00:35:09.820
Are you telling bedtime
stories to kids now?
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:10.260
I...
00:35:10.470 --> 00:35:11.930
what do I gain by lying to you?
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:14.410
Who knows.
00:35:15.110 --> 00:35:16.490
Miss Zhong...
00:35:16.950 --> 00:35:17.950
Zhong Lin!
00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:20.570
You really don't care
about the people of Xuzhou?
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:22.700
Why did you found the Fenglai Pavilion?
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:25.700
All that talk about justice
00:35:25.720 --> 00:35:26.930
and punishing evil,
00:35:27.070 --> 00:35:28.340
just empty talk?
00:35:41.430 --> 00:35:42.430
Say it.
00:35:42.470 --> 00:35:43.510
What do you want me to do?
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:46.180
Go to Xuzhou
00:35:46.280 --> 00:35:48.400
and get a written confession
from the Governor there.
00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:01.340
It's a deal.
00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:04.760
Wait!
00:36:04.950 --> 00:36:05.950
Now what?
00:36:07.240 --> 00:36:08.240
Put this on.
00:36:08.550 --> 00:36:09.450
Do it quickly.
00:36:09.550 --> 00:36:11.050
My life and everything I have
00:36:11.070 --> 00:36:12.860
are in your hands now.
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:25.400
Your Highness,
00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:28.960
will you return to the palace with me now?
00:36:30.430 --> 00:36:31.430
No rush.
00:36:32.800 --> 00:36:33.860
Lately,
00:36:34.070 --> 00:36:35.930
I've had an annoying matter,
00:36:36.240 --> 00:36:37.610
and I'm in no mood at all.
00:36:37.950 --> 00:36:39.340
When I'm in a mood like this,
00:36:39.430 --> 00:36:40.820
I simply can't review memorials.
00:36:41.470 --> 00:36:42.700
I wonder
00:36:42.950 --> 00:36:44.570
if you can help ease my mind.
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:46.280
Please speak.
00:36:48.720 --> 00:36:50.340
I went to see Ying.
00:36:51.110 --> 00:36:53.090
She was heartbroken.
00:36:53.950 --> 00:36:55.410
After asking around,
00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:56.920
I learned
00:36:57.200 --> 00:36:58.740
that it had something to do with you.
00:37:02.200 --> 00:37:03.660
What would you have me do?
00:37:04.240 --> 00:37:06.300
Ying may not be in her right mind
00:37:06.510 --> 00:37:07.670
and sometimes seems unhinged,
00:37:08.550 --> 00:37:09.700
but deep down
00:37:10.070 --> 00:37:12.010
she's kinder and more innocent
00:37:12.430 --> 00:37:13.930
than anyone else in the harem.
00:37:14.240 --> 00:37:16.410
So whatever happens,
00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:19.340
I will always believe her without question.
00:37:20.030 --> 00:37:21.900
She would never harm the innocent.
00:37:25.510 --> 00:37:26.900
Then I misjudged the Princess.
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:32.860
Ying approaches feelings differently
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:34.610
from most people.
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:36.450
The purer she is,
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:38.960
the more easily she's hurt
by those she cares about.
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:41.740
As her brother,
00:37:43.240 --> 00:37:45.450
I don't want to see her in pain.
00:37:49.200 --> 00:37:50.820
You started this.
00:37:52.240 --> 00:37:53.130
There's a way
00:37:53.150 --> 00:37:55.450
for you to make it up to her.
00:37:57.030 --> 00:37:58.030
Go find her
00:37:58.720 --> 00:38:01.130
and do whatever it takes to cheer her up.
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:05.410
If you succeed, I might just force
myself to finish the memorials.
00:38:07.430 --> 00:38:08.430
What do you say?
00:38:10.200 --> 00:38:11.200
It was my fault
00:38:11.720 --> 00:38:13.080
for misunderstanding the Princess.
00:38:13.680 --> 00:38:15.010
I should apologize.
00:38:19.630 --> 00:38:20.630
When will you go?
00:38:22.240 --> 00:38:23.240
I'll go right now.
00:39:16.950 --> 00:39:17.950
Li Hongqing!
00:39:24.110 --> 00:39:25.110
You're here.
00:39:26.720 --> 00:39:27.720
Your Highness, I'm sorry.
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:29.010
I misunderstood you before.
00:39:31.680 --> 00:39:32.680
This is for you.
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:35.880
Your Highness,
00:39:36.920 --> 00:39:37.920
what do you mean by this?
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:42.010
Please give it to Guard Wang for me.
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:44.860
He may have lied to me first,
00:39:45.030 --> 00:39:47.530
but he was poisoned because of me.
00:39:47.550 --> 00:39:48.900
So, I ought to make it up to him.
00:39:52.240 --> 00:39:53.450
This silver
00:39:53.510 --> 00:39:55.010
is from my brother.
00:39:55.430 --> 00:39:57.340
He didn't bring much that day.
00:39:58.030 --> 00:39:59.180
And this,
00:39:59.550 --> 00:40:00.550
also this...
00:40:01.550 --> 00:40:03.780
These are all my favorite things.
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:08.450
On Guard Wang's behalf,
00:40:09.200 --> 00:40:10.200
thank you, Your Highness.
00:40:11.070 --> 00:40:12.070
Think nothing of it.
00:40:24.800 --> 00:40:27.490
Then can you stop being
mad at me from now on?
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:30.860
If you want me to do something
00:40:30.950 --> 00:40:32.220
or not do something,
00:40:32.240 --> 00:40:34.010
you can just tell me directly.
00:40:34.110 --> 00:40:35.700
I'll listen to you.
00:40:36.630 --> 00:40:38.780
You don't have to listen to anyone.
00:40:39.590 --> 00:40:40.860
Just follow your own heart.
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.220
There are rights and wrongs
00:40:46.920 --> 00:40:48.570
I can't always tell apart.
00:40:51.110 --> 00:40:52.450
But I trust you.
00:40:53.110 --> 00:40:54.490
You'll know the difference.
00:40:55.150 --> 00:40:56.150
Your Highness,
00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:58.220
why do you trust me so much?
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:06.260
You think I don't remember?
00:41:07.510 --> 00:41:09.350
Back when the Crown
Prince's Hall caught fire,
00:41:09.430 --> 00:41:10.660
you saved me.
00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:12.340
You used this arm
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:14.610
to shield me from a falling burning beam.
00:41:16.070 --> 00:41:18.410
I thought Your Highness had long forgotten.
00:41:18.430 --> 00:41:19.820
Of course I remember!
00:41:20.200 --> 00:41:21.780
Before that imperial
physician took me away,
00:41:21.800 --> 00:41:23.220
I bit you hard on the arm,
00:41:23.680 --> 00:41:25.860
so I could find you again one day.
00:41:30.070 --> 00:41:31.180
Then
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:32.570
when did you realize
00:41:32.630 --> 00:41:34.220
I was the guard who saved you?
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:39.570
I'm not telling you.
00:41:40.950 --> 00:41:42.410
But since I've found you,
00:41:42.430 --> 00:41:44.090
I'll definitely treat you well.
00:41:45.510 --> 00:41:47.230
It's simply our duty as the Imperial Guard.
00:41:47.430 --> 00:41:48.700
Don't trouble yourself over it.
00:41:50.030 --> 00:41:51.030
I don't care.
00:41:51.680 --> 00:41:53.220
If I say I'll treat you well,
00:41:54.550 --> 00:41:55.820
then I'll treat you well.
00:42:08.850 --> 00:42:11.780
Since the disaster in
Xuzhou is under control,
00:42:12.580 --> 00:42:13.620
I ask Your Highness
00:42:14.370 --> 00:42:16.660
to release the grain for
Jiangzhou as soon as possible.
00:42:17.480 --> 00:42:19.720
Once the Ministry of Revenue
finishes counting the grain
00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:21.340
and I've checked it,
00:42:22.070 --> 00:42:23.180
I'll naturally issue it.
00:42:23.400 --> 00:42:24.570
The war is pressing.
00:42:24.680 --> 00:42:26.570
We must not deliberately delay.
00:42:26.680 --> 00:42:28.900
I hope Your Highness
will give the order today.
00:42:32.550 --> 00:42:33.550
Deliberately?
00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:35.090
That's quite the crime
00:42:35.110 --> 00:42:36.380
you're pinning on me.
00:42:36.680 --> 00:42:38.280
Why don't you go ask His Majesty himself
00:42:38.510 --> 00:42:39.780
how he plans to punish me?
00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:41.360
Your Highness...
00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:46.460
Then may I ask,
00:42:47.110 --> 00:42:48.690
how many more days do you expect
00:42:49.230 --> 00:42:50.690
this grain counting to take?
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:53.060
Seven or eight days at least.
00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:54.940
Rest easy, Grand Tutor Ling.
00:42:55.270 --> 00:42:56.690
When Preceptor Du left the Capital,
00:42:56.710 --> 00:42:58.250
she took plenty of grain with her.
00:42:58.750 --> 00:43:00.900
That will ease Jiangzhou's
immediate crisis.
00:43:00.920 --> 00:43:03.090
That only buys us time!
00:43:03.590 --> 00:43:04.686
I sincerely beg Your Highness
00:43:04.710 --> 00:43:06.820
to release the second
batch as soon as possible.
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:10.940
Jiangzhou is a key fortress,
00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:12.690
and the war allows no delay.
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:14.570
Three days from now,
00:43:15.630 --> 00:43:18.940
I will await Your Highness's grain order.
