1
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,440
Your Majesty
2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:08,920
- I've got it! - What?
3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,360
I just came up with an idea
4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,720
with cold sweat from the shock you just gave me
5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,440
Drink it
6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:32,120
Your Majesty?
7
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:37,520
Please spare me, Your Majesty! Please spare my life
8
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:38,800
Your Majesty!
9
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,760
Mother-in-law, come on… Please stand up
10
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:50,640
You shall go out first
11
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,480
Help, Madame!
12
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,720
Your Majesty, please forgive him. I'm begging you
13
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,120
Your Majesty, I'm your mother-in-law. Please do me a favor
14
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,600
- and spare his life!
- Fine… Please sit down
15
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,240
Madame Guantao
16
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:19,120
don't worry. I promise you Dong Yan will be fine
17
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,440
So, Your Majesty, you even know his name
18
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,280
Madame Guantao
19
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,160
It's chilly at night
20
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:32,880
Please take care of yourself
21
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:35,840
Yi
22
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,320
Yes, Your Majesty
23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:42,760
- Go and tell them not to hurt Dong Yan. - Understood
24
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:54,200
How dare you have the audacity to seduce His Majesty's mother-in-law!
25
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Do you want to die?
26
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,200
Please spare me, Your Excellency
27
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,480
I didn't seduce Madame Guantao
28
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,040
She's just been clinging to me without letting me go
29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,040
Please look into it, Your Excellency
30
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,720
If you don't want to suffer
31
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,320
just confess everything happening between you and Madame Guantao
32
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,320
If you tell a single lie, I won't spare you
33
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,400
Ever since the death of Mr. Chen
34
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,480
you've been living solitarily in this lonely and bleak abode
35
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,040
I know your pain and suffering
36
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,440
But this is really a big mess
37
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,320
Rumors are going viral inside and outside the imperial palace
38
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,880
Some officers even submitted memorials to me
39
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,440
saying this was a matter of imperial decency
40
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,400
Madame Guantao, if I still stay out of this
41
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,760
how am I supposed to discipline the people?
42
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,920
I'm not in their way! Why are they pointing the finger at me?
43
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,200
It's not that His Majesty insists on taking you to task
44
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,640
It's that you've really gone too far
45
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,680
Nowadays, people dislike the poor and hate the rich
46
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,520
Since you've won both wealth and beauty, people envy you the most
47
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,320
Please spare me, Your Excellency… I dare not do it ever again
48
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Get his fingerprints on the confession
49
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,280
- Dong Yan. - Yes, Your Excellency
50
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640
I just heard your confession
51
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,120
It's not completely your fault
52
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,120
You're such an insightful officer!
53
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,640
However, Madame Guantao is the Grand Princess
54
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,080
She's a member of the imperial family
55
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,760
while you are no more than a commoner
56
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,400
Who else do you think can be this scapegoat other than you?
57
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,440
Your Excellency, I'm really innocent
58
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Innocent?
59
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,960
Sometimes innocent people are wrongly executed in the yamen
60
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,320
But at least, I should stop the rumors, right?
61
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:37,000
Your Majesty, are you really not letting us go?
62
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,680
- I won't let you go unless… - Unless what?
63
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:48,680
Unless I step forward to get you engaged to each other
64
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,480
making Dong Yan your husband
65
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,120
and making you two a legitimate couple
66
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,840
Couple?
67
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,400
If not, you will commit a capital crime of deceiving the Emperor
68
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,920
And His Majesty will sentence your whole clan to death!
69
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,840
Madame Guantao is over 20 years older than me
70
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,040
Over 20 years older than you?
71
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,200
That's brilliant! Come on, stand up
72
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,280
It's your blessing to have an older wife
73
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,480
who can take good care of you
74
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:39,000
Just think about it. Marrying her, you'll have a mother-like wife
75
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,480
And you will be her son-like husband
76
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,480
You will be fed, be tucked in
77
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,080
You can be a child forever
78
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,480
If I were you
79
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,800
I'd laugh even in my dream!
80
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Kneel
81
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,320
You don't need to thank me
82
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,400
You are my aunt and my mother-in-law
83
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,160
Your business is my business
84
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,920
Your well-being is my well-being
85
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,240
So, I won't leave you behind
86
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,760
at any time
87
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:26,040
Your Majesty…
88
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,920
Alright, don't cry
89
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,880
In a few days, I will make an announcement to the world
90
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,040
Whether the Empress can bear a son for me or not
91
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,840
she will always be my Empress
92
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Your Majesty… I'd like to thank you for your grace on behalf of the Empress
93
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,440
Please rise, Madame Guantao
94
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,800
However
95
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,080
I have a temper, too
96
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,360
I hate being threatened!
97
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,840
For example, Dou Wangsun and his clan
98
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,800
used to be imperial family members and high-ranking officers
99
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,480
But they were so bold
100
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,040
to utilize the Grand Empress Dowager's force to threaten me
101
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,000
And what happened next?
102
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,120
Even if I didn't get them, the devil would take them
103
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,000
This would happen no matter what!
104
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:35,560
I see, Your Majesty
105
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Tell Madame Guantao
106
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,280
Since she has a skeleton in the closet, she should behave herself
107
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,760
Do not go out to pick on people here and there
108
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,800
If something goes wrong, she might get herself killed
109
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,960
instead of getting others into trouble
110
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,120
That will be too late to regret or mend
111
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,640
You shall keep my words engraved in your mind!
112
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,520
You can offend anyone but the Emperor
113
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,760
If you offend His Majesty
114
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,480
maybe one day your house will catch fire
115
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,560
with the two of you burned to death inside
116
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,360
Your bodies will turn to dust and ashes!
117
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,280
I dare not do that. I'm one of the law-abiding people ruled by His Majesty
118
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,920
You let me go there, but what can I say over there?
119
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,680
I… You can just go and get that back
120
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,000
Who else can do it other than you? You are a man!
121
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,600
A-add some more!
122
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,360
What?
123
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,720
As a grown man, why don't you go gather hogweed?
124
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,760
You ask me to do it every day
125
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,440
Don't you think it's a shame?
126
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,600
Windswept and sunburned
127
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,680
I look like a 60-year-old woman!
128
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,560
I-I'm just in my thirties!
129
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,680
Just add as I said!
130
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,160
How dare you talk back to me? I'll beat you up!
131
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,560
Can you live a single day without beating me?
132
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:04,200
Come on! Just hit me! You'd better beat me to death today
133
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,600
Come on… Do it
134
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,600
You bold peasant, kneel before His Majesty
135
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,440
Sister
136
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,640
Why hasn't she come yet?
137
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,840
Mother, relax. His Majesty will bring her here soon
138
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,920
Mother!
139
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:02,840
Mother!
140
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,840
You are my mother…
141
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,280
My girl…
142
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,120
- My poor daughter! - Mother
143
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Now, the mother and the daughter finally met
144
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,680
But what should they do after this reunion?
145
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,320
Let her go back
146
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,720
to continue to live with that butcher?
147
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,440
No way. Her Highness won't agree
148
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,040
But to keep her family in the imperial palace
149
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,160
there needs to be a proper reason
150
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,440
The Empress Dowager's daughter, the Grand Princess. This is the reason
151
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,160
Good gracious, Mr. Yang!
152
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,240
If she stays in the imperial palace as the Empress Dowager's daughter
153
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,200
doesn't that indicate Her Highness used to…
154
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,120
Oh my goodness!
155
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,680
Mr. Dongfang, please help me!
156
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,840
No, you should help His Majesty figure out a perfect solution
157
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,040
Otherwise, His Majesty will scold me for my incapability again
158
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,560
Mr. Dongfang, I've brought Yi Sheng and Jin Buhuan here
159
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,280
What a huge yard!
160
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,760
Uncle, they have so many rooms and chambers
161
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Why don't they raise more pigs?
162
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,000
Don't talk nonsense
163
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480
This is not a yard, but the yamen
164
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,880
where pigs are allowed to be raised
165
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,120
What a waste of such a spacious yard!
166
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,760
Sirs, this is Mr. Dongfang
167
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,560
It's okay. Please stand up, sirs
168
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,160
My girl, what have you been through all these years?
169
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,240
- Tell me. - Mother…
170
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,040
My dad was killed in a fire when I was seven
171
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:24,880
Someone took me out of the fire
172
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,760
and sent me to my uncle living in the mountains
173
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,520
- He brought me up. - Uncle?
174
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,040
- You have an uncle? - I do
175
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,120
- What's his name? - Yi Sheng
176
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,320
Yi Sheng? Where is he?
177
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,720
Dongfang Shuo has sent someone to look for them
178
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,200
I guess they are waiting outside
179
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,480
- Tell Yi Sheng to come in and meet me. - Yes, Your Highness
180
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,560
Do you have any other kinsfolk out there besides your uncle?
181
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,680
As Uncle Sheng said, I have an elder uncle who's a high-ranking officer
182
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,120
while I've never seen him before
183
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,320
Mother, he's here
184
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,840
Greetings! Greetings!
185
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,360
- Help your uncle up. - Understood
186
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,880
Uncle, Her Highness wants you to stand up
187
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,880
Uncle, this is your older sister, the incumbent Empress Dowager
188
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,920
You… So you are my older sister I've never seen before?
189
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:36,560
Are you Yi Sheng?
190
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,800
- Yes, I am Yi Sheng! - Then is Wang Xiu your older brother?
191
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,200
Yes
192
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,800
I'm your half-brother
193
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,680
We have the same mother, but not the same father
194
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,840
After your father divorced our mother
195
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,680
she married someone else and gave birth to me
196
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,240
That was so many years ago
197
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,720
And later, you entered the imperial palace, and we were out of touch
198
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,240
Mother told me about you before she died. That's why I know you
199
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,840
No matter how far apart
200
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,080
or how distinct we are, we are still family
201
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:12,240
Uncle, thank you for raising my sister all these years
202
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,880
I will thank you properly
203
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,480
Sister, this gentleman must be your son
204
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,240
He is the incumbent Emperor
205
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,080
We must kowtow to the Emperor!
206
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,400
I'm kowtowing to you, Your Majesty
207
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,200
Your Majesty, I'm kowtowing to you
208
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,520
Uncle, please just stand up
209
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,840
Sir, I just don't understand
210
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,800
why I'm left here alone with them all going inside?
211
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,480
Don't worry. They will let you in when it's time
212
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,960
- Hello, Mr. Dongfang. - Hello, Mr. Wang
213
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,040
- Where are the Empress Dowager and His Majesty? - They're both inside
214
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,800
Who is that man? He's so pretentious
215
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,520
He didn't even say hello to me!
216
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,760
That man is your wife's eldest uncle, a high-ranking official
217
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:15,600
Brother!
218
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,400
Greetings, Your Highness, Your Majesty
219
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:24,320
Wang Xiu
220
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Yes, Your Highness
221
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,680
Do you know we have a half-brother?
222
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:32,840
I know, Your Highness
223
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,920
Then why didn't you tell me about him?
224
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,200
Please let me explain, Your Highness
225
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,080
Not until a few years ago did I know
226
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,160
we had a half-brother called Yi Sheng
227
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,120
But I was afraid that if they knew the Empress Dowagers was their sister
228
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,480
they would talk nonsense out there
229
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,840
and cause trouble for you and His Majesty, so… So I…
230
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,680
Mother, Uncle Xiu's concern is justified
231
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,560
Please don't blame him
232
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,120
- You may rise. - Thank you, Your Highness, Your Majesty
233
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:19,520
Poor Yi Sheng brought up my daughter
234
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,280
and he has never lived a good day
235
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,560
When I think about this, my heart aches
236
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,840
I've heard that
237
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,040
there are so many people to feed in the imperial palace
238
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,120
You could buy the vegetables I grow if you want
239
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,360
- I'll send you many nice vegetables every day. - And the pork!
240
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,480
I'll let my dumb husband deliver it to you every day
241
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,080
So he won't beat me up when nobody buys our pork
242
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:45,800
My girl…
243
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,520
I won't let you go back to grow vegetables or butcher pigs
244
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,320
I'm going to keep you two in the imperial palace
245
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,160
and make up for what I've owed you
246
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,360
Why don't you let me in?
247
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,920
Why are you leaving me outside alone?
248
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,800
Was I born out of wedlock or brought up by the maidservant?
249
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,360
Who is shouting out there?
250
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,080
Maybe it's sister's husband
251
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,080
- Call him in. - Yes, Your Highness
252
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,720
Let me do it. What a nasty man!
253
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,400
Come in!
254
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,240
This is my mom. Go and kowtow to her!
255
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,360
Mother-in-law, I'm kowtowing to you
256
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,800
Alright… Just get up
257
00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:38,040
This is my brother, the Emperor. Kowtow to him, too!
258
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,960
Your Majesty, I'm kowtowing to you
259
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,040
Rise
260
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,480
You don't need to do it so hard. Don't break your forehead
261
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,120
Man, this is my sister, the Grand Princess. Kowtow to her
262
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:00,720
Screw it
263
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,280
No brothers-in-law
264
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,760
will kowtow to their sisters-in-law!
265
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,760
The Empress is here!
266
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,080
Remember, you can't say a single word about this!
267
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,280
Greetings, Your Majesty, Mother
268
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,720
Rise, Empress
269
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,160
Sister Pingyang
270
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,040
why are there so many guests today? So lively
271
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,800
Why don't you introduce them to me?
272
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,520
Greetings, Your Highness, Your Majesty
273
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,320
- Rise, Dongfang Shuo. - Thank you, Your Highness
274
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,360
Your Highness, Your Majesty
275
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:01,080
I heard that
276
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:05,320
the Empress Dowager has found her long-lost brother and niece
277
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,280
who are also the Emperor's uncle and cousin
278
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,360
So I'm here to congratulate you, Your Highness, Your Majesty
279
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:17,080
Empress, yes, this is the Empress Dowager's niece
280
00:19:17,120 --> 00:19:18,920
our eldest cousin
281
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,960
Yes, she is my cousin
282
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,520
as well as yours
283
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,920
- Sir, I guess you are the Empress Dowager's younger cousin, right? - Yes…
284
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,680
Hello, I'm Dongfang Shuo
285
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,040
Cousin, this is my Empress. Greet her
286
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,880
Are you really our cousin instead of something else?
287
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,920
Your Highness, your cousin and her husband
288
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,400
are unsophisticated peasants who know little about etiquette
289
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,200
Please forgive them, Your Highness
290
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,000
Where am I?
291
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,160
The Pingyang Mansion, of course
292
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,920
Why do I feel this place is less and less like the Pingyang Mansion
293
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,320
and more like your home, Dongfang Shuo?
294
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,600
Empress, please sit down
295
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:16,080
Forget about it. There doesn't seem to be a seat for me here
296
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,280
I'd better just return to my palace
297
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,640
and prepare to welcome these relatives
298
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,640
Your Highness, Your Majesty, I'll take my leave
299
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,040
My girl, come over here
300
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,040
You were raised by your uncle
301
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,520
From now on, just recognize your Uncle Sheng as your father
302
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:55,080
From today on, this girl will be known as my niece
303
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,760
and His Majesty's eldest cousin. Don't spoil this unified statement
304
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:06,640
Your Highness, Your Majesty, I think this "cousin" should be given a title
305
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,720
Alright, I will give my cousin the title of Lady of Xiuzhu
306
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,080
and select a site for her mansion
307
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,480
Good. Ask the Imperial Domestic Chief to allocate a budget
308
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,440
and make Dongfang Shuo the supervisor of the Xiuzhu Mansion's construction
309
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,200
- Select an auspicious date to start construction
310
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,520
Lian'er
311
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:46,400
Where's Miss Luo?
312
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,040
Madam Luo said you wanted to ask her for advice
313
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,360
and she asked me to take you to somewhere else to meet
314
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,320
- OK. Then please lead the way. - This way, sir
315
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:52,360
Come in, please
316
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:56,160
Just come in!
317
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:07,720
Sir, hurry
318
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,320
Sir, do you wanna listen to music or drink with our girls?
319
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,600
No, I'm just looking for someone here
320
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,520
Who are you looking for? Hey! Who are you looking for?
321
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,680
The man and the woman who just came in
322
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,120
Are you with them?
323
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,160
Nope… Yes, I am with them
324
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,560
They are upstairs. I'll take you there. Sir, follow me
325
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,600
Oh, hello, sir!
326
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,000
This way, please
327
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:49,280
This way
328
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,640
They're right next door. You can hear
329
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,680
everything they say over there
330
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:01,120
Dear, come in, please!
331
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,320
- Come in. Come over here. - Have fun!
332
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,400
Hello, sir
333
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,880
I thought you wouldn't agree to meet me again
334
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:34,720
I do feel ashamed
335
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,200
You didn't attend our wedding banquet
336
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,040
Jing Kui can't let it go
337
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,800
My heart is fragile
338
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,680
My… I can't bear it
339
00:24:54,760 --> 00:25:00,000
I… You marrying him is what I can't handle…
340
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,920
Dongfang Shuo, stop saying something like this
341
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,600
Living in this world, we have a lot to lose
342
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:19,640
Yes, Luo… Mrs. Jing
343
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,000
Wait… I beg you
344
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,440
Please let me go. I just want to hear what's going on next door
345
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,480
That's not fun… It's better to enjoy it yourself than listen to others
346
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,560
Here comes the wine
347
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,920
Come on, have fun while you eat
348
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,960
No, I can't drink today
349
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,880
Sir, no one will say no to wine here
350
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,640
Flowers create the vibe; wine adds to the fun
351
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,120
Drink! You must drink!
352
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:58,800
Dear, do you want to drink it yourself or should I feed you?
353
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,000
No… I-I can't drink this
354
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:04,800
Don't be shy. Come on, just drink it
355
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,160
Actually, Jing Kui once told me
356
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,160
he had been a chivalrous hero all his life and even scoffed at the Emperor
357
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,240
But he felt sorry for you the most
358
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,800
Let's not talk about it
359
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,320
Indeed, Mr. Jing is a famous hero
360
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,000
highly respected by the people
361
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Madam
362
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,600
I'm here today because I've come across a thorny case
363
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,360
So I've come to ask for your advice
364
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,640
You're a descendant of a great general at the imperial court
365
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,680
You've taught me a lot about how to serve an emperor
366
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000
And you've seen more than many men
367
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,640
Don't flatter me. Just tell me what it is
368
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,040
To be the Prime Minister
369
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,360
The Nv'er Hong Spirit is so good!
370
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,960
I look up and see clearly
371
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,760
This woman has got my heart
372
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,640
She twisted you and pinched you
373
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,240
She's trying to kill me
374
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:40,080
Madam
375
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,560
Greetings, Madams
376
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,320
Who are you?
377
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,520
Madam, I'm the brothel keeper of the Hidden Haven
378
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,760
Mr. Qiu, Qiu Hu from your house visited our place today
379
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,920
What? You mean Qiu Hu went to the Hidden Haven?
380
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,160
Yes! Mr. Qiu came
381
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,600
booked a room, got a girl, and drank wine
382
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,240
But in the end, he said he'd forgotten to bring his money and wanted credit
383
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,360
- Madams, we're just doing business… - Shut up!
384
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,520
Listen, Dongfang Shuo
385
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,360
Do not ever think of being the Prime Minister
386
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:23,720
I'm not capable of that?
387
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:25,360
Trust me
388
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,760
If His Majesty really appoints you as Prime Minister
389
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,600
It only means he won't think highly of you anymore
390
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,560
In other words
391
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,120
if I, Dongfang Shuo, become Prime Minister
392
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:39,880
I'll have to hide my edge
393
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,960
and serve His Majesty without personal ideas
394
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,960
Mr. Dongfang, don't always claim to be No.1 in the world
395
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,000
His Majesty is not dumber than you
396
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,840
In many cases, he's even smarter than you
397
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,600
So for your own safety, you must not become Prime Minister
398
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,520
Madam, Master Qiu Hu is back
399
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,960
I wanna die…
400
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,960
- You bastard! How dare you come back? - Sister!
401
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,840
I've been wronged! I mean seriously!
402
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,920
You've been wronged? You rolled in the toilet
403
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,400
Then you came back and said you didn't stink!
404
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,720
I didn't want to enter that place
405
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,840
I went in with Dongfang Shuo
406
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,040
I followed him in. I wanted to get him!
407
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,520
Dongfang Shuo?
408
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:39,320
Darling, why are you calling me?
409
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,600
Brother, why are you kneeling again?
410
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,280
You bullied LĂĽyu again, didn't you?
411
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,120
Dongfang Shuo, tell me honestly where you were today
412
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,320
- I went to the outskirts of the city.
- He's lying!
413
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,800
He didn't go outside the city!
414
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,600
I saw him going to the Hidden Haven with a prostitute!
415
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,360
Brother… You can't talk nonsense and slander a good man
416
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,040
Would I possibly go to a place like that?
417
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,840
Dongfang Shuo, my brother said he saw you going in there with his own eyes
418
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,800
How dare you still excuse yourself?
419
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,200
Honey… Hold on!
420
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,320
That's not right! Qiu Gu, just think about it
421
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,960
It's said thieves are caught in looting; adulterers are caught in pairs
422
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,040
Brother Qiu Hu saw me entering the Hidden Haven with his own eyes
423
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,720
but why didn't he go in with me
424
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,360
and catch me on the spot?
425
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,120
I did try to catch you on the spot!
426
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:28,320
But as soon as I entered the door
427
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,760
that young woman got me
428
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,280
Is that how you make up stories?
429
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,560
Just listen to the story he cooked up!
430
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,400
Then tell me what you did today
431
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,680
In the side room in our backyard
432
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,360
the cat knocked off several tiles, right? It's been leaking for a while
433
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,920
Didn't you ask me to fix it, too?
434
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,960
I happened to be free today
435
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
So I went to the tile kiln outside the city to buy some tiles
436
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,200
He's lying. He didn't leave the city!
437
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,880
He just went to the Hidden Haven with that prostitute!
438
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,840
Madam, a tile deliverer is waiting at the door for Master Dongfang to pay
439
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,880
Let him in
440
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,800
Mr. Man, come in please
441
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,120
This is our master and madam
442
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:06,880
Greetings, Master and Madam
443
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,800
Where do you live?
444
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,560
Did he pick up the tiles at your place today?
445
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,160
Yes, exactly! I live in Huangye Village, south of the city
446
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,680
We've been tile-makers for four generations
447
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,000
This gentleman visited several kilns at our place
448
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,680
He finally chose my tiles
449
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:28,560
- Laifu. - Yes, Madam
450
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,040
Take him to unload the tiles and give him the money
451
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:32,800
Yes, Madam
452
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,160
- Mr. Man, thank you for your hard work. - You're welcome
453
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,560
- Thank you… - You're welcome…
454
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:37,640
Mr. Man, come with me
455
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,480
Darling. LĂĽyu?
456
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,040
- How dare you go to a brothel? - Sis!
457
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,440
- How dare you drink wine with the girl? - Sis…
458
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,560
- I'll beat you to death today, you bastard! - Dongfang Shuo!
459
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:16,200
Send my decree. Summon Dou Wangsun to the imperial palace
460
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,920
Summon Dou Wangsun to the imperial palace!
461
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,040
Greetings, Auntie
462
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,960
Dou Wangsun
463
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:58,960
You must help Prince Liang succeed to the throne
464
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,520
Prince Liang…
465
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,640
Grandmother, I'm here
466
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,000
My grandson
467
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:24,880
Prince Liang! You've finally become the Emperor!
468
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,640
Good
469
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:36,240
Like a dragon and a pig? That's all bullshit!
470
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:48,000
Prince Liang, why don't you say something? Why don't you answer me?
471
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:03,600
Did you forget about Grandma after you became the Emperor?
472
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,320
I heard your footsteps
473
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:18,320
Very light… And also very fast
474
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:24,840
Boy… Prince Liang, did you run into any trouble?
475
00:34:25,720 --> 00:34:26,840
Tell Grandma!
476
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,240
Grandma's here
477
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,080
Nothing will happen
478
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,080
Come on… Come to Grandma
479
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,480
Come here. Come to me
480
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,120
Grandma, it's me
481
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,880
I'm A'jiao
482
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,720
I haven't had any visitors here for a long time
483
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,480
Empress, I wonder
484
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,120
why you are here today to see me, a dying woman
485
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,960
Grandma, I'm here today to ask you something
486
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,760
Did you know that the Empress Dowager was married before she entered
487
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:26,720
the imperial palace?
488
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:51,880
Liu Qi! My stupid son! Open your eyes and see!
489
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,680
Your favorite concubine, Beauty Wang
490
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,240
had been pregnant for 14 months
491
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:07,760
and gave birth to a boy for that man like a dragon and a pig!
492
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,840
Help me up…
493
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:19,760
You, come and help me up. Help me up
494
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,840
Servants! Servants!
495
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:33,240
Servants! Somebody!
496
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,520
Grandmother?
497
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:49,840
Your Grace!
498
00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:01,120
Help! Somebody!
499
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,240
Where are the servants?
500
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,800
The Grand Empress Dowager just passed away
501
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,080
Bravo!
502
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:18,600
Wang Xiu!
503
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,200
Yes. But sister
504
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,000
I'm genuinely happy for you
505
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,320
The Grand Empress Dowager's death
506
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,560
still saddens me
507
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,040
We're all women, widows
508
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:44,320
You men don't know what it's like to be a widow
509
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,320
Sister! Your Highness! You won't have to suffer anymore!
510
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,000
You have made it!
511
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,320
Yes, I have made it
512
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,480
I've made it
513
00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:08,720
Your Highness, the Grand Empress Dowager is dead
514
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,200
Have you thought about hosting the state funeral?
515
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,440
What did you say? Hosting the state funeral?
516
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:23,640
Sister, it's a custom for the Prime Minister to host a state funeral
517
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:25,760
But we don't have a Prime Minister currently
518
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,720
The one who hosts it will be a candidate for Prime Minister, of course!
519
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,600
Greetings, Your Majesty
520
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:44,360
Rise
521
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:50,960
Your Majesty, why did you call me to the imperial palace so late at night?
522
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:04,360
The Grand Empress Dowager has passed away
523
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,480
According to the rules, we must hold a state funeral for Her Grace
524
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:16,120
But the Empress Dowager just sent a message to me
525
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,280
asking me to let Wang Xiu take the lead
526
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,080
and host the funeral ceremony for the Grand Empress Dowager
527
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:31,440
Your Majesty, this is supposed to be the Prime Minister's job
528
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,120
But the post of Prime Minister is now vacant
529
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,560
So it's self-evident that the person who hosts this state funeral
530
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,840
will be the candidate for future Prime Minister
531
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:47,000
That's why I summoned you here to discuss this matter in the dead of night
532
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,080
Your Majesty, I think
533
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,200
at this moment
534
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:55,160
you should appoint Gongsun Hong to host it
535
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,240
So the other officers will know what you are thinking
536
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,840
and follow your instructions in the future
537
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,960
Yes, but the Empress Dowager has given an order
538
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,360
It's inappropriate to go against it aboveboard
539
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,960
Your Majesty, do you remember the fight between Zhang Tang and Dou Yong?
540
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:19,760
You mean
541
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:25,200
I should also let Wang Xiu and Gongsun Hong fight for this post?
542
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,080
That's the only way out, Your Majesty39172
