Your mother made them better.
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:44.980
I can never get them to taste like hers.

whether he's heartless or not
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.060
depends on which answer helps you.
00:14:17.790 --> 00:14:19.700
And whether you love your precious daughter
00:14:21.750 --> 00:14:24.300
depends on whether she
hinders your grand plans.
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:26.440
Isn't that right?

00:16:03.630 --> 00:16:05.370
there'll be no turning back.
00:16:10.390 --> 00:16:11.390
Very well.
00:16:11.850 --> 00:16:14.650
So when Your Majesty went to my study,
00:16:15.040 --> 00:16:17.049
you were looking for evidence?
00:16:17.050 --> 00:16:19.650
Did you really think no
one else would expose you?
00:16:19.670 --> 00:16:21.100
You mean Luo Xianxue?
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.490
He treasures you like his own life.
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.940
For your sake,
00:16:30.670 --> 00:16:31.980
he can tell you certain things.
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.610
But do you really think
00:16:35.630 --> 00:16:37.490
he could come back alive?
00:16:41.270 --> 00:16:42.580
What did you do to him?
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:19.250
Luo is the foster son
00:17:20.070 --> 00:17:21.770
you raised from childhood.
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:25.280
And you still wouldn't spare him.
00:17:28.350 --> 00:17:29.350
So tell me, Father...
00:17:30.270 --> 00:17:32.860
what will you do with
your precious daughter?
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:35.760
Kill me?
00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:43.250
How could I bear to?
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:46.570
"Her Majesty
00:17:48.070 --> 00:17:50.860
has returned home to mourn her late mother.
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:52.530
Overcome with grief,
00:17:52.550 --> 00:17:54.010
she has fallen gravely ill
00:17:54.810 --> 00:17:55.870
and will remain here
00:17:57.070 --> 00:17:58.900
for a time". That is all.
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:00.240
Do you really think
00:18:01.030 --> 00:18:02.530
His Majesty will let you live?
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:05.180
With Your Majesty in my hands,
00:18:06.030 --> 00:18:07.810
he won't dare act rashly.
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:15.490
You chose him
00:18:17.350 --> 00:18:19.620
because in your heart
00:18:21.270 --> 00:18:23.810
he's a man of feeling and honor, isn't he?
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.620
Yet he hurt you and lied to you!
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.810
He even killed the master you loved most.
00:18:29.830 --> 00:18:31.660
And now he wants to kill your father!
00:18:34.510 --> 00:18:35.510
And yet
00:18:36.780 --> 00:18:39.420
you still choose to stand with him?
00:18:57.270 --> 00:18:58.290
From beginning to end,
00:18:58.750 --> 00:19:00.660
I never meant to kill you.
00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:07.920
Did you think
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:09.570
that by getting rid of Luo Xianxue,
00:19:09.590 --> 00:19:12.010
you could erase your
ties to the Lingbi Sect
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:14.330
and the proof of your treason and regicide?
00:19:15.310 --> 00:19:16.180
I have far too much evidence
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:17.700
of your crimes in my hands.
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:19.440
Sir,
00:19:20.070 --> 00:19:22.730
do you recall a move
you taught me at chess?
00:19:23.590 --> 00:19:24.770
"Drive in a wedge
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.570
and shatter the formation."
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.490
So, you used Luo Xianxue as that wedge
00:19:30.750 --> 00:19:33.090
to lull my pieces into
dropping their guard?
00:19:33.110 --> 00:19:34.110
That's right.
00:19:34.750 --> 00:19:37.250
If Luo learned you once poisoned Cangcang,
00:19:37.480 --> 00:19:39.140
he'd dig out the truth.
00:19:39.830 --> 00:19:41.180
But you would never leave
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:42.810
a piece you couldn't control.
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:44.200
So,
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:46.380
I let him go on purpose.
00:19:47.310 --> 00:19:49.490
While you were busy purging your own ranks,
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:53.090
I could tighten the net I'd cast.
00:19:53.790 --> 00:19:54.860
Secretly forging weapons,
00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.880
skimming off grain,
00:19:56.270 --> 00:19:57.090
rigging prices,
00:19:57.110 --> 00:19:58.290
controlling intelligence...

you've spent years weaving your power.

To wipe it out in one stroke
00:20:04.830 --> 00:20:06.010
is no easy task.

I've never once thought of killing you.
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:30.770
I'll spare your life

and spare the entire Ling clan.

I will not

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:39.250
and a rebel family.

Remove the threat completely.

set your heart for Heaven and Earth,
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:02.620
give the people a sure foundation,
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:05.140
carry on the teachings of the sages,
00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:07.930
and open an age of peace for all time!
00:32:08.890 --> 00:32:10.160
May Great Qi
00:32:10.270 --> 00:32:11.700
endure for generations,
00:32:11.750 --> 00:32:13.100
its realm forever secure!
00:32:13.670 --> 00:32:15.140
I kiss the ground in thanks
00:32:15.600 --> 00:32:17.340
for Your Majesty's grace!
00:32:38.030 --> 00:32:39.340
A power in his own age,
00:32:39.600 --> 00:32:41.010
pillar of two reigns,
00:32:43.710 --> 00:32:45.620
he retires just like that.
00:32:46.600 --> 00:32:47.600
Strike now,
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:49.000
or he'll be a threat later.
00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:09.260
[Qi]
00:33:16.460 --> 00:33:21.220
[Fuguang Hall]
00:33:28.770 --> 00:33:30.300
I still remember
00:33:32.670 --> 00:33:34.260
it was right here
00:33:35.800 --> 00:33:37.930
you waited for me in the snow.
00:33:39.560 --> 00:33:41.540
You said you'd make me Grand Chancellor
00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:45.170
and make Cangcang your empress.
00:33:45.710 --> 00:33:46.820
I've done
00:33:47.560 --> 00:33:48.620
everything I promised.
00:33:50.670 --> 00:33:52.060
Your Majesty is true to your word.
00:33:52.470 --> 00:33:54.060
You'll always do exactly as you say.
00:33:54.710 --> 00:33:55.870
I promised to spare your life
00:33:56.340 --> 00:33:57.410
and protect the Ling clan.
00:33:57.790 --> 00:33:59.100
I'll keep my word.
00:33:59.430 --> 00:34:00.580
No need to remind me again.
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.100
Then I have worried too much.
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.240
I wish Your Majesty and
Her Majesty good health.
00:34:10.590 --> 00:34:11.960
From this day on,
00:34:12.240 --> 00:34:14.010
I only wish to find
00:34:15.430 --> 00:34:16.780
some quiet place of retreat.
00:34:19.430 --> 00:34:20.570
I will not return
00:34:22.630 --> 00:34:24.050
to this palace again.
00:34:49.580 --> 00:34:51.069
[Ling Manor]
00:34:51.070 --> 00:34:52.900
By His Majesty's command,
00:34:53.200 --> 00:34:54.880
I am here to escort you to Deer Courtyard.
00:34:55.680 --> 00:34:57.010
Thank you, General.
00:35:46.660 --> 00:35:49.980
[Refuge in the Dharma Realm]
00:36:13.110 --> 00:36:14.450
Sir, what did you pray for?
00:36:16.660 --> 00:36:18.120
To retire in peace.
00:36:18.860 --> 00:36:20.430
Nothing more.
00:36:25.030 --> 00:36:27.400
And what do you wish for, General Lu?
00:36:29.590 --> 00:36:31.010
Only that the one in my heart
00:36:32.240 --> 00:36:33.380
stays safe and well.
00:36:34.850 --> 00:36:40.240
So, you're a man of feeling too.
00:36:43.940 --> 00:36:45.029
[Wuying Hall]
00:36:45.030 --> 00:36:48.010
Madam, you don't look well lately.
00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:51.130
You seem very pale.
00:36:52.590 --> 00:36:54.610
I have an urgent matter
and must see His Majesty.
00:36:56.110 --> 00:36:58.300
Is His Majesty really not here?
00:36:59.240 --> 00:37:00.240
I know...
00:37:00.950 --> 00:37:02.780
he hasn't wanted to see me lately,
00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:05.220
but this time it's truly important.
00:37:05.920 --> 00:37:07.740
Please, I beg you.
00:37:07.940 --> 00:37:08.940
Madam,
00:37:09.550 --> 00:37:11.570
His Majesty truly isn't here.
00:37:13.720 --> 00:37:14.720
Eunuch Feng,
00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:17.900
where is he?
00:37:19.240 --> 00:37:20.660
Where is he?
00:37:23.110 --> 00:37:24.110
Madam,
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.490
forgive this old servant.
00:37:27.110 --> 00:37:29.010
His Majesty truly isn't here.
00:37:34.820 --> 00:37:38.100
[Wuying Hall]
00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:43.570
Your Majesty...
00:37:56.950 --> 00:37:57.950
Madam,
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:01.280
shall I summon the imperial
physician to take a look at you?
00:38:01.430 --> 00:38:03.820
Physician Li is in the palace.
00:38:05.630 --> 00:38:06.660
No need...
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:08.900
No need...
00:38:10.720 --> 00:38:11.820
No need...
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:21.800
Madam,
00:38:22.680 --> 00:38:25.180
the wintersweet in the
imperial garden is in full bloom.
00:38:25.730 --> 00:38:27.340
Why not go and have a look?
00:39:06.510 --> 00:39:07.510
Cangcang,
00:39:08.110 --> 00:39:09.380
it's all over now.
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:15.490
I often wonder
00:39:16.590 --> 00:39:18.180
if we had never begun,
00:39:19.240 --> 00:39:20.820
would things be different?
00:39:21.720 --> 00:39:22.720
Don't.
00:39:23.550 --> 00:39:24.550
There are no what-ifs.
00:39:25.150 --> 00:39:26.150
Everything
00:39:26.510 --> 00:39:27.740
has already begun.
00:39:32.680 --> 00:39:34.260
Sky so vast, wild plains so wide...
00:39:35.200 --> 00:39:37.360
My mother named me Cangcang
[♪ "Cangcang" means vast.]
00:39:38.070 --> 00:39:40.530
hoping that in this vast world
00:39:41.150 --> 00:39:42.300
I could live free and easy.
00:39:42.950 --> 00:39:45.130
If she could see me like this now,
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:47.660
what would she think?
00:39:51.400 --> 00:39:52.400
Father said
00:39:53.110 --> 00:39:54.450
when you were fourteen,
00:39:55.240 --> 00:39:57.090
you waited for him all night at Xishi Gate.
00:40:00.550 --> 00:40:02.010
It wasn't quite all night.
00:40:03.030 --> 00:40:05.380
I knew he would enter by Xishi Gate,
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:08.610
so I went there at the
Yin Hour to wait for him.
00:40:09.430 --> 00:40:10.430
That day,
00:40:10.880 --> 00:40:11.880
snow was falling thick,
00:40:12.430 --> 00:40:13.430
and it was bitterly cold.
00:40:30.200 --> 00:40:31.200
Your Highness,
00:40:31.240 --> 00:40:32.820
you've always been frail.
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:36.090
Why suffer the cold here to wait for me?
00:40:36.630 --> 00:40:37.820
Sir, is your daughter
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:39.700
named Cangcang?
00:40:39.720 --> 00:40:40.720
Your Highness,
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:43.300
I do have a girl named Cangcang.
00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:44.450
She's eight this year,
00:40:44.680 --> 00:40:45.780
and terribly mischievous.
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:49.010
Sir, are you willing
00:40:49.110 --> 00:40:52.220
to betroth her to me as my future empress?
00:40:57.110 --> 00:40:58.130
Your Highness,
00:40:58.510 --> 00:41:01.090
do you know what you're saying?
00:41:01.550 --> 00:41:02.550
Today,
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:04.300
I stand here in snow,
00:41:04.590 --> 00:41:06.180
waiting for you.
00:41:06.280 --> 00:41:09.260
I know exactly what I'm saying.
00:41:17.840 --> 00:41:20.140
Your Highness, rise!
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:26.010
Teacher,
00:41:26.120 --> 00:41:28.090
please accept my bow!
00:41:30.740 --> 00:41:33.300
If one day, I ascend the throne,
00:41:33.720 --> 00:41:35.220
I will make you the Grand Chancellor,
00:41:35.240 --> 00:41:37.010
and make Cangcang my empress.
00:41:39.650 --> 00:41:41.280
Get up!
00:41:42.650 --> 00:41:43.930
You must be cold...
00:41:47.430 --> 00:41:48.430
So,
00:41:49.030 --> 00:41:51.090
how did your father see that day?
00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.090
Father said our engagement
00:41:54.720 --> 00:41:56.820
was a deal struck ten years ago.
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:01.490
He was being kind.
00:42:02.590 --> 00:42:03.590
Ten years ago...
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:06.340
what right did I have
00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:07.820
to bargain with Grand Tutor?
00:42:09.030 --> 00:42:10.030
I was only clinging
00:42:10.680 --> 00:42:12.820
to a last lifeline.
00:42:15.030 --> 00:42:16.030
Father also said
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:18.010
that you from ten years ago
00:42:18.470 --> 00:42:20.740
were no different from the man he is now.
00:42:23.150 --> 00:42:24.150
No.
00:42:25.150 --> 00:42:27.570
Back then, I only wanted to live.
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:30.280
Cangcang,
00:42:30.630 --> 00:42:32.180
I am indeed a chess player.
00:42:33.320 --> 00:42:34.320
All my life,
00:42:34.510 --> 00:42:35.780
I've been playing the game,
00:42:36.630 --> 00:42:38.340
weighing gain and loss with every move.
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:40.930
But taking you as my wife
00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:43.300
is the best thing
00:42:43.720 --> 00:42:45.010
all my plotting ever won me.
00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:53.650
And hiding my true origins
00:42:53.800 --> 00:42:55.700
was just another move in your game?
00:42:56.200 --> 00:42:58.820
