1
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,400
The storm rises
2
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:36,199
on the peak.
3
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,759
The traveler shall not return.
4
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:39,960
A barren womb
5
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:42,240
that bears no fruit.
6
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:43,879
The omen is dark.
7
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:45,159
No fruit?
8
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:45,960
Holy One,
9
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,039
speak plainly.
10
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:48,439
My lord and I
11
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:50,120
yearn for an heir.
12
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:51,680
We have sought
13
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,879
every healer,
14
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,719
yet our cradle remains empty.
15
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:57,039
Do not despair, My Lady.
16
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,879
A son is written
17
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:01,280
in Lord Gu's fate.
18
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:02,439
Though
19
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:04,759
his life-spark burns dim.
20
00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:06,280
Yet, destiny
21
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:09,360
is not set in stone.
22
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:10,919
With pious deeds
23
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,159
and charity,
24
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,639
the gods may relent.
25
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:16,840
Praise the gods!
26
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,199
My love,
27
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,159
we shall have our heir!
28
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,599
Holy One,
29
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:28,439
from this day forth,
30
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,000
on every new and full moon,
31
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,639
I shall fast
32
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,719
and pray
33
00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:34,800
within
34
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,960
these walls.
35
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:37,439
May the gods
36
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,159
grant our house
37
00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:40,400
an heir.
38
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,719
Your devotion
39
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:43,879
shall move the heavens.
40
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,039
May the gods watch over you!
41
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:55,919
[Merciful gods,]
42
00:03:56,479 --> 00:03:57,479
[grand me an heir, ]
43
00:03:58,199 --> 00:03:59,560
[and I shall pledge my life]
44
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:01,120
[in return.]
45
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,199
Zhishu left in such haste.
46
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,400
So secretive.
47
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:10,400
What if he is
48
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,560
in peril?
49
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,800
Fret not, fair sister.
50
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,360
He never
51
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:15,680
deprives himself
52
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,079
of comfort.
53
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,279
Besides, he is a master of the sword.
54
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,480
No harm shall find him.
55
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,240
We always knelt here as three,
56
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,560
praying for our parents.
57
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,439
I used to find his chatter tiresome.
58
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,600
Now, his absence
59
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,040
leaves a cold silence.
60
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:31,839
When will he return?
61
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:34,600
He thinks himself
62
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,560
cast aside.
63
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:37,839
Yet he's barely gone,
64
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:39,680
and the house feels empty.
65
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,600
Catch me!
66
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,319
Master. My Lady.
67
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,519
Peace be with you.
68
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:46,120
Zhili.
69
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,199
Your seat was empty yesterday.
70
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,000
What befell you?
71
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:51,879
A slight fever,
72
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,959
Master.
73
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,160
Nothing more.
74
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,199
Did the healer tend to you?
75
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:55,959
My Lord,
76
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,560
My Lady.
77
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:00,000
Do you seek the gods' grace today?
78
00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:02,519
We pray for an heir.
79
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:04,720
To secure
80
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:06,040
the Gus' bloodline.
81
00:05:06,879 --> 00:05:08,639
May your prayers
82
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:09,959
be answered.
83
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,519
- Dear sister!
- Careful!
84
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:13,879
Keep up!
85
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:14,879
Almost there!
86
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,040
Are you bruised?
87
00:05:17,439 --> 00:05:18,120
I am well.
88
00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:24,360
How fiercely protective.
89
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,680
My love,
90
00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:26,639
behold,
91
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,199
what a perfect match.
92
00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:30,279
They bear no resemblance
93
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,160
to siblings.
94
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,560
We share no blood.
95
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:34,000
Fair sister,
96
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,040
come.
97
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:36,759
The altar awaits.
98
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,160
We must
99
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,480
bid you farewell.
100
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:52,639
You made
101
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:53,879
a fool of yourself.
102
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:54,600
It was but
103
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:55,680
a minor stumble.
104
00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:57,000
Yet you trembled like a leaf.
105
00:05:59,079 --> 00:05:59,759
Look at them.
106
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,199
Green and fair,
107
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:02,160
bound by Venus herself.
108
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:03,279
You are
109
00:06:03,519 --> 00:06:04,519
a graying man.
110
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:06,079
Do not let lust
111
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,439
rot your reputation!
112
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:10,319
This is a holy place.
113
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:12,079
Silence your wicked tongue.
114
00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:14,439
Before the gods,
115
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,319
you should fear
116
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:17,959
your own dark thoughts!
117
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:20,600
Your eyes...
118
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,920
they held the same fire they did
119
00:06:25,079 --> 00:06:26,319
when you first
120
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,319
gazed upon me...
121
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:28,000
Insolence!
122
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,800
Silence your slander!
123
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:28,519
Have you waited long, Your Majesty?
124
00:07:29,839 --> 00:07:30,800
I have only just arrived.
125
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,399
The tea is perfectly brewed.
126
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:50,759
Sit,
127
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:52,040
warm yourself.
128
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:19,759
You are
129
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,959
usually so fierce.
130
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,959
Why does your heart flutter so tonight?
131
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,240
The noodles will grow cold.
132
00:08:25,879 --> 00:08:26,959
Pray, taste them.
133
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:42,039
The royal kitchens boast
134
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:43,039
the finest delicacies,
135
00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:45,440
yet this lamb broth
136
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:46,399
warms my soul far better.
137
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,639
Did no other dish
138
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:53,720
tempt your palate,
139
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:55,440
Your Majesty?
140
00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:00,240
Are you trying to unravel me?
141
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,519
My life is an open book to you.
142
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,120
I shall read a page of yours,
143
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,039
Your Majesty.
144
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,159
When I
145
00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:19,120
was a lad,
146
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,799
my mother made
147
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:24,519
sweet pastries.
148
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:26,840
When she passed,
149
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,240
I gorged myself
150
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:29,759
on twelve chests of it,
151
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:32,000
weeping until
152
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,279
I spat blood.
153
00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:34,360
Since then,
154
00:09:35,519 --> 00:09:37,279
food has held no joy
155
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,080
for me.
156
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:41,919
We hunger for
157
00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:44,039
the hands
158
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:45,559
that fed us.
159
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:49,320
When I see apricot cake,
160
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,000
I remember Xiang.
161
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:56,639
You brought flavor
162
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,480
back to my life.
163
00:09:59,639 --> 00:10:00,519
Think of me
164
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:02,759
when you taste this.
165
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:18,480
Snow!
166
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,120
I never saw snow in Shazhou.
167
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:37,559
Wishes made on the first snow
168
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,240
are granted by the gods.
169
00:10:40,519 --> 00:10:42,600
I fear I have missed it.
170
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:47,000
Why petition the gods?
171
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,120
A prayer to me may be pragmatic.
172
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,279
Then I pray for
173
00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:55,840
the downfall of Ling Yunfei,
174
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,600
the ruin of his Tiger Roar bandits,
175
00:10:57,919 --> 00:11:00,519
and eternal peace for our lands.
176
00:11:06,519 --> 00:11:07,600
And what does the Crown pray for?
177
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,200
By the heavens, this is scandalous!
178
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,080
They...
179
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,399
Hush! Shall we summon the heralds
180
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:20,919
and blow the trumpets too?
181
00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:24,639
A royal tryst?
182
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,440
In the gardens?
183
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:27,320
Witching the Crown
184
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,320
is a death sentence!
185
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,320
They will tear her limb from limb!
186
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,399
Watch your tongue!
187
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,440
They are debating the affairs
188
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,039
of the realm.
189
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:34,559
Affairs
190
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,840
of the realm?
191
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,879
Feeding him like
192
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:39,679
a tavern maid?
193
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,200
It is a disgrace!
194
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:42,600
I shall intervene before honor dies!
195
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,159
Your prayers shall be granted.
196
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:49,960
May
197
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,399
the winter never
198
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:53,759
find me without companionship.
199
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,440
We are both
200
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,399
kinless.
201
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:05,480
Adored by millions,
202
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,279
yet you spend the feast nights
203
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,080
in solitude.
204
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,120
I pray
205
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:14,399
your hall
206
00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:16,000
is never
207
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:18,320
cold
208
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,720
again.
209
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,200
When the spring blooms,
210
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:30,600
shall we cast our prayers upon the waters?
211
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,080
I pledge it.
212
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,639
Disgraceful!
213
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,120
A sovereign whoring with his own minister?
214
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,799
He spits on the laws of the realm!
215
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,799
I knew
216
00:12:50,799 --> 00:12:51,440
that baseborn girl
217
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,039
was poison!
218
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,080
The whole realm
219
00:12:55,759 --> 00:12:57,120
whispers of his shame!
220
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,960
How have you failed your watch?!
221
00:12:59,960 --> 00:13:01,559
The girl has a tragic past.
222
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,720
His Majesty snatched her
223
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:03,919
from the slavers.
224
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:05,840
It is but a lingering pity.
225
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:06,960
The whispers in the taverns
226
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,320
are lies!
227
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,120
He is now
228
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,919
the laughingstock
229
00:13:10,919 --> 00:13:12,480
of the lowborn!
230
00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:14,120
The Crown's honor is bled dry!
231
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,480
He reads the
232
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,600
ancient decrees
233
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,159
every dawn.
234
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,240
Surely His Majesty knows his bounds.
235
00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:23,840
Yet his chambers
236
00:13:24,159 --> 00:13:25,320
remain empty!
237
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:26,919
No son to secure the succession!
238
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,200
The throne cannot stand without an heir!
239
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,159
I have sweated blood over this.
240
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:32,919
When the
241
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,240
noble maidens danced,
242
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,639
his wrath nearly
243
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,159
saw me
244
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,039
executed!
245
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,559
An heir would
246
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,120
bind his wandering heart.
247
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,360
My Lord,
248
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,519
what is your counsel?
249
00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:03,000
My love,
250
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,039
the whispers of the Crown and Lady Meng
251
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:07,879
grow louder by the day.
252
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,039
I've gazed upon her
253
00:14:10,159 --> 00:14:11,759
at feasts.
254
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,399
She is poised and dignified,
255
00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:17,440
not the siren they paint her
256
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,360
to be.
257
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,360
If the Crown
258
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:21,759
is smitten,
259
00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:23,440
I cannot blame him.
260
00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:27,879
A sovereign bedding his minister
261
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,399
is a scandal.
262
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,080
We shall
263
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,480
have Wen Ruomei sent to the palace.
264
00:14:34,679 --> 00:14:35,720
That shall extinguish
265
00:14:36,039 --> 00:14:37,799
Meng's hopes.
266
00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:39,919
That maiden
267
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:41,840
is dull-witted.
268
00:14:42,159 --> 00:14:44,159
She lacks the grace to wear a crown!
269
00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:46,000
Words of a simple mind!
270
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,759
It is vital we sever
271
00:14:47,759 --> 00:14:49,559
the Crown's attachment
272
00:14:49,759 --> 00:14:51,240
to Meng Tinghui!
273
00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:53,399
You bury yourself
274
00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:55,759
in statecraft,
275
00:14:55,799 --> 00:14:57,320
yet you ignore our own house.
276
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,320
Our son is of age.
277
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,240
You should find him
278
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:02,559
a lady
279
00:15:02,679 --> 00:15:04,519
of high birth.
280
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,120
If you and the lad
281
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,840
have chosen a maiden,
282
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,360
name her.
283
00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:12,600
No house in the realm
284
00:15:12,919 --> 00:15:15,159
would dare refuse us.
285
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:16,519
Father!
286
00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:17,240
Mother!
287
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:19,399
Fetch the finest matchmakers
288
00:15:19,399 --> 00:15:20,360
in the realm!
289
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,480
I have found
290
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,080
the lady of my heart!
291
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,639
Listen to him!
292
00:15:26,799 --> 00:15:28,039
Our little bird is ready to
293
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:28,879
build his nest!
294
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:29,799
Tell us,
295
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,679
who is she?
296
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:34,000
She is
297
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:34,639
no
298
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:36,320
mere mortal!
299
00:15:36,759 --> 00:15:39,840
She is a moon-goddess
300
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,840
fallen to earth!
301
00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:44,759
A vision of peerless grace!
302
00:15:44,799 --> 00:15:46,200
Her every breath is music...
303
00:15:47,159 --> 00:15:49,080
What a poet we have raised!
304
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:50,039
Pray tell,
305
00:15:50,039 --> 00:15:51,399
who is this goddess among mortals?
306
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,080
The first
307
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,120
female grand scholar of the realm!
308
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,240
You speak of whom?
309
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,279
Lady Meng Tinghui!
310
00:16:04,159 --> 00:16:05,200
Only when I am
311
00:16:05,279 --> 00:16:06,440
in my grave!
312
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:08,559
My soul is bound!
313
00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:09,679
I shall wed her or no one!
314
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,480
- You insolent...
- Set it down!
315
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:17,519
You
316
00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:20,279
neglect him for your state scrolls,
317
00:16:20,759 --> 00:16:22,000
and then wonder
318
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,120
why he has no bride!
319
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:26,120
You should
320
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,559
hide your face
321
00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:29,159
in shame!
322
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:31,799
Do not rage, Father.
323
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,200
The whispers said
324
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:33,960
she was
325
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,120
a wonder,
326
00:16:35,399 --> 00:16:36,799
even the Crown coveted her.
327
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,320
I sought
328
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:39,519
her out.
329
00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:41,440
And she is
330
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,039
a creature of pure light!
331
00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:44,679
A single glance,
332
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,919
and my life was forfeit to her.
333
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:48,600
Ignorant little...
334
00:16:49,279 --> 00:16:50,320
My Love,
335
00:16:50,799 --> 00:16:52,320
when has our boy
336
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:54,440
ever shown such fire?
337
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:56,960
You wish to sever
338
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,840
their bond, aye?
339
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,279
If we bring her
340
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,879
into our house,
341
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,119
then...
342
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,119
Then she shall
343
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,279
draft all your decrees!
344
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,279
She'll be ten times better
345
00:17:09,279 --> 00:17:10,359
than those fat court scribes!
346
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,240
Aye!
347
00:17:11,319 --> 00:17:12,480
Folly!
348
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,880
Our lineage is ancient and pure.
349
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:17,559
I will not have it stained
350
00:17:17,559 --> 00:17:18,720
by a lowborn street-urchin!
351
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,400
I...
352
00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:21,960
I care nothing for lineage!
353
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,359
If she is
354
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,720
denied to me,
355
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,920
I shall hang myself!
356
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:27,839
Then hang!
357
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,200
What a foul tongue you have!
358
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,359
Can you not see
359
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,440
his heart is breaking?
360
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,240
If anything happens to my boy,
361
00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:41,799
I...
362
00:17:42,039 --> 00:17:43,039
shall join him
363
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:44,119
in the grave!
364
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,519
My ghost shall haunt these halls!
365
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:48,440
We shall die together!
366
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:52,759
Silence! You fools!
367
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,559
Out of my sight!
368
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,319
Gladly!
369
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,000
Folly in the mother, ruin in the son.
370
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:10,680
Fuzhi?
371
00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:12,240
What has happened?
372
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:12,720
My dear,
373
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,799
thank the gods.
374
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,720
My father
375
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,440
is gravely ill,
376
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,559
lost in a deep sleep.
377
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:17,519
I must ride home.
378
00:18:17,759 --> 00:18:18,799
What ails him?
379
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:19,839
I know not.
380
00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:21,039
Some lingering plague of his youth.
381
00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:22,440
He has fought
382
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:23,599
many winters.
383
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:24,559
I shall be by his side.
384
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,279
My Lady, the hour grows late.
385
00:18:26,279 --> 00:18:27,359
We shall depart.
386
00:18:27,839 --> 00:18:28,519
My dear,
387
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,039
Ling Yunfei
388
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,400
is a cornered wolf.
389
00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:32,759
He shall strike again.
390
00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:33,799
Be on your guard.
391
00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:34,480
I shall.
392
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:35,920
Have a careful journey
393
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:37,680
and tend to your father.
394
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,279
Farewell, then.
395
00:18:42,319 --> 00:18:43,319
Ride safe!
396
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:55,039
My Lady,
397
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:56,200
your lady mother
398
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,200
ordered this tonic for your health.
399
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:58,920
Leave it.
400
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,319
I shall have it when I finish.
401
00:19:06,319 --> 00:19:07,200
And this scroll
402
00:19:08,079 --> 00:19:09,799
from Lord Gu.
403
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:11,200
It is
404
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,559
for your eyes only.
405
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:14,759
You may leave.
406
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,759
"A straight stem requires
407
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:36,920
pruning to flourish..."
408
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,319
[My fair protege.]
409
00:19:44,559 --> 00:19:45,880
[I feel your distance,]
410
00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:47,359
[but the game of thrones]
411
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,480
[is not for the innocent.]
412
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,039
[The Bureau is the Crown's eyes,]
413
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,079
[yet of late it grows reckless.]
414
00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:55,960
[Unbridled,]
415
00:19:56,279 --> 00:19:57,480
[and it shall breed ruin.]
416
00:19:58,839 --> 00:20:00,480
[All I do is]
417
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:01,480
[for the peace]
418
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,079
[of the realm.]
419
00:20:03,799 --> 00:20:04,960
[Hold fast]
420
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,000
[to your honor,]
421
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,839
[and do not be deceived by whispers.]
422
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,319
[He seeks to guide me.]
423
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:16,559
[He reins us in]
424
00:20:17,039 --> 00:20:18,880
[only so the Bureau]
425
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:20,759
[can truly]
426
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,880
[serve the realm.]
427
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:31,559
A fair night,
428
00:20:31,799 --> 00:20:33,480
Your Majesty.
429
00:20:34,319 --> 00:20:35,079
Behold,
430
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,079
the waters are calm,
431
00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:37,640
and the fish thrive.
432
00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:39,200
May your reign
433
00:20:39,519 --> 00:20:40,920
be forever peaceful!
434
00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:42,200
Your Majesty!
435
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:44,200
Your Majesty!
436
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,559
A message
437
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:46,839
from Lord Shen.
438
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:47,960
A matter of grave import.
439
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:52,200
[My search has]
440
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:53,160
[revealed secret forges]
441
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,079
[where the empire meets]
442
00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:55,000
[the frozen waste]
443
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:56,680
[of Northsunder.]
444
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,920
[The ghosts of Midvale are]
445
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,119
[lingering in shadows.]
446
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,160
[And the Northsunderers gather at our gates.]
447
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Huang Bo.
448
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,799
Dispatch my decree.
449
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,079
General Huo
450
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:08,079
must march his legions
451
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:10,119
to Zhishu's side.
452
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:10,960
Aye!
453
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,640
Your Majesty,
454
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,400
the rot of
455
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:14,119
illegal steel
456
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,440
traces back to Midvale.
457
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,160
If the Northsunderers are in their pay...
458
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,559
Then we shall bury them all.
459
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,759
Shen Zhishu was at your heels,
460
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,319
and you blind fools saw nothing!
461
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,920
Had the Grandmaster not sent me,
462
00:21:35,559 --> 00:21:36,680
the crows would be picking at our bones!
463
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,279
The Conclave
464
00:21:39,319 --> 00:21:40,480
does not
465
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,200
feed useless dogs!
466
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,000
Grandmaster!
467
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,559
Let our blades prove our worth!
468
00:21:47,839 --> 00:21:48,720
We beg of you!
469
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:50,640
Grandmaster,
470
00:21:50,759 --> 00:21:51,839
The Edge and The Plot
471
00:21:51,839 --> 00:21:53,240
were sworn to the cause.
472
00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:54,880
None are more loyal to the old kingdom.
473
00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:56,799
Do not
474
00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:57,359
thin
475
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:58,799
our ranks
476
00:21:58,799 --> 00:21:59,839
before the war begins.
477
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,000
Punish me
478
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,400
in their stead.
479
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:10,079
Rise.
480
00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:12,000
Our cause
481
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000
brooks no failure.
482
00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:15,440
If you fail me again,
483
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,559
you shall answer to Orcus.
484
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:19,440
Gratitude!
485
00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:24,000
Praise the Grandmaster!
486
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,440
We shall carry your grace to victory.
487
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:27,759
For the glory of Midvale!
488
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,920
The Usurper's eyes are upon us.
489
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,799
Quench the fires. Stop the forging.
490
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,440
The Usurper
491
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,079
has been at our heels
492
00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:36,200
since we left Shazhou.
493
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:37,880
He is a shadow we cannot shake.
494
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,440
Yet,
495
00:22:38,839 --> 00:22:40,240
we did not return empty-handed.
496
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:41,160
Our men have
497
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,359
harvested the Fairbane.
498
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,519
The dark opium
499
00:22:43,519 --> 00:22:44,279
scheme
500
00:22:44,599 --> 00:22:45,519
may now commence.
501
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,079
Grandmaster,
502
00:22:48,759 --> 00:22:49,880
I brought news
503
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,559
on this very matter.
504
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,000
Two nights ago,
505
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,319
a highborn patron came to Huiyin.
506
00:22:54,599 --> 00:22:55,960
He was a mere ghost of a man,
507
00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:56,920
yet after taking
508
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,880
his own pill,
509
00:22:58,079 --> 00:22:59,400
he rose again as vigorous as
510
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,319
a young stallion.
511
00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:01,799
The Lyre sensed a threat.
512
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,359
Using the art of dream-binding,
513
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,279
she unraveled his secrets.
514
00:23:04,279 --> 00:23:05,279
His drug is crude,
515
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:07,160
but it mirrors the very pills
516
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,640
you brewed.
517
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,559
It is sold
518
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:23,720
only in secret,
519
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:24,720
brokered to
520
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:25,839
the wealthiest merchants.
521
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:26,920
The next trade is near.
522
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,359
The dealer is a cutthroat
523
00:23:28,839 --> 00:23:30,400
named Lyu Da.
524
00:23:31,079 --> 00:23:32,240
So the Tiger Roar Gang dally with
525
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,359
the devil's weed as well.
526
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,640
Let them sow the seeds;
527
00:23:37,279 --> 00:23:38,759
we shall reap
528
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:40,279
the harvest.
529
00:23:41,079 --> 00:23:42,279
The boy emperor
530
00:23:42,559 --> 00:23:44,680
sits on a fractured throne.
531
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:46,440
When the tide turns,
532
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,240
Midvale
533
00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:50,519
shall rise in glory!
534
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,079
Eternal soars the Dark Bird!
535
00:23:53,079 --> 00:23:54,640
Forever shines the Crimson Moon!
536
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,039
Eternal soars the Dark Bird!
537
00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:57,759
Forever shines the Crimson Moon!
538
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:03,880
Good sir...
539
00:24:20,599 --> 00:24:21,319
I
540
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,359
beg you...
541
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:24,559
plead with the Baron...
542
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:26,359
The bliss is too short!
543
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:27,920
It lasts scarcely a dozen heartbeats!
544
00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:32,559
I meant no offense...
545
00:24:59,759 --> 00:25:00,839
I bring forth
546
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,519
a river of gold
547
00:25:02,519 --> 00:25:03,680
for your guild.
548
00:25:05,079 --> 00:25:06,000
What game is this?
549
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,160
The poison you sell
550
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:10,079
is but crude ash.
551
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,519
A man must
552
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,079
buy for a sennight before he craves more.
553
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,599
You scrape
554
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,319
for coppers.
555
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:21,200
Speak your name, or bleed!
556
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,119
The herald of your fortune.
557
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:31,559
Behold, Godsgrain.
558
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,400
A single lick strengthens the blood.
559
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,920
One dose,
560
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,640
even the God of War
561
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,880
cannot break the chains.
562
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:41,960
You shall drown
563
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:44,039
in silver.
564
00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:46,039
Why
565
00:25:46,039 --> 00:25:47,519
share such treasure
566
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,599
with us?
567
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,400
The leaf grows
568
00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:53,240
in the barren wastes.
569
00:25:54,079 --> 00:25:56,079
My twelve apothecaries
570
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,440
refine the sap.
571
00:25:58,319 --> 00:25:59,880
Yet to flood
572
00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:01,559
the empire,
573
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,640
we need your cubs.
574
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,640
We shall thrive together.
575
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:24,359
What is
576
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:26,000
your scheme?
577
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,440
Silver
578
00:26:29,519 --> 00:26:30,559
and gold.
579
00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:32,359
No man
580
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:34,799
spits on wealth.
581
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,119
Keep the box.
582
00:26:39,519 --> 00:26:40,880
Learn its truth.
583
00:26:45,079 --> 00:26:46,400
[Three nights hence,]
584
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,640
[bring your Baron here.]
585
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:51,599
[Our master wishes to discuss a conquest.]
586
00:27:13,519 --> 00:27:14,960
Mercy, My Lady!
587
00:27:15,319 --> 00:27:17,240
My husband was mad with wine
588
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,920
when he bartered me!
589
00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:20,279
Madam,
590
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,440
you have a gentle heart.
591
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,119
Do not let
592
00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:26,279
my daughter suffer my fate!
593
00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:27,160
Cease your weeping.
594
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,359
This is no Orcus' Hall.
595
00:27:30,799 --> 00:27:31,559
The door is there.
596
00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:33,160
Leave if
597
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:35,720
you dare!
598
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:36,720
In,
599
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:38,000
little wench!
600
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,359
Madam!
601
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,200
This little filly tried to run.
602
00:27:43,559 --> 00:27:45,039
I brought her back!
603
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,720
One pill for one maiden.
604
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,200
The bargain is struck!
605
00:28:11,839 --> 00:28:13,000
Praise be to you,
606
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,319
Madam!
607
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,440
Father! No!
608
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:21,799
Piss off, wench!
609
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:30,960
Madam,
610
00:28:31,839 --> 00:28:33,759
send me home...
611
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,640
I beg of you...
612
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,119
How many times has he traded you?
613
00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:46,000
Open your eyes!
614
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,319
I shall not trade my flesh...
615
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,480
Flesh?
616
00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:54,559
That is for gutter-wenches!
617
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:55,680
Xiangning.
618
00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:57,079
Tell these lass
619
00:28:58,319 --> 00:28:59,319
what we build here.
620
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,119
In here,
621
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,920
I never serve men.
622
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:08,680
I make men serve me.
623
00:29:09,039 --> 00:29:10,599
I hold the strings of
624
00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:11,759
the wealthiest lords.
625
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,279
They kiss our feet
626
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,319
for a whisper of grace.
627
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,000
You know my heart.
628
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,240
I harbor
629
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,880
no cruelty
630
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:29,960
for the young.
631
00:29:30,839 --> 00:29:32,359
On the morrow,
632
00:29:32,359 --> 00:29:33,200
a master shall
633
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:35,359
teach her the high arts.
634
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,279
Bow, child!
635
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,000
Gods bless
636
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,200
your mercy!
637
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:41,519
In this house,
638
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,480
we are sisters.
639
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:46,200
Beyond these walls,
640
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:47,759
we are masters of men!
641
00:29:48,359 --> 00:29:49,759
Do you think the magistrates
642
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:51,200
spare us
643
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,720
out of kindness?
644
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:54,920
Xiangning!
645
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:02,960
Their fortunes and lives
646
00:30:05,039 --> 00:30:06,119
are in my hands!
647
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,039
Will you be worms
648
00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:10,559
crushed in the mud,
649
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,880
or queens in silks?
650
00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:16,440
Speak your minds!
651
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,160
Madam,
652
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,200
I shall stay!
653
00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:31,279
Madam,
654
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,440
I stay!
655
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:37,039
We shall remain!
656
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,480
We remain!
657
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:41,160
Pliant
658
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,599
fillies.
659
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,400
Xiangning,
660
00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:46,240
take them to hone their arts.
661
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:15,640
Must you always ravish me so?
662
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,119
It is passing strange.
663
00:31:35,079 --> 00:31:37,000
The Tiger Roar Gang
664
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,119
have vanished.
665
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,079
I fear
666
00:31:40,079 --> 00:31:41,079
they are prepared for us.
667
00:31:41,079 --> 00:31:41,920
The serpent
668
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:43,079
always
669
00:31:43,279 --> 00:31:44,880
draws back before it bites.
670
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:45,799
My Lady,
671
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:47,400
a small comfort.
672
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:50,920
Time is our enemy.
673
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,240
Zhili,
674
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,359
sketch the phantom for us.
675
00:31:55,359 --> 00:31:56,319
You shall draw
676
00:31:56,319 --> 00:31:57,279
Ling Yunfei's face
677
00:31:57,279 --> 00:31:58,160
from the rumors.
678
00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:00,400
A fine idea.
679
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,640
We shall gather rumors.
680
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,039
I shall try
681
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,000
to draw him.
682
00:32:05,279 --> 00:32:06,200
Separate.
683
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:06,920
Let
684
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,240
no stone remain unturned.
685
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:36,960
"Thirteen maidens
686
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,359
snatched...
687
00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:40,680
the caravans looted..."
688
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Where did you hear this?
689
00:32:42,359 --> 00:32:43,200
Lady Shen,
690
00:32:43,359 --> 00:32:44,839
those are tales for coppers!
691
00:32:45,039 --> 00:32:45,680
I know nothing
692
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:46,519
of those bandits!
693
00:32:46,519 --> 00:32:47,519
You swear to this?
694
00:32:47,759 --> 00:32:48,680
By the gods, I swear it!
695
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,000
The gods
696
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:00,960
do not shield liars!
697
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:01,920
There was
698
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:03,319
a whisper of...
699
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:16,440
Behold the beast!
700
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,200
Why the delay?
701
00:33:29,359 --> 00:33:30,720
Slit her throat and throw her to the fishes.
702
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:32,000
We made
703
00:33:32,119 --> 00:33:33,519
quick work of Lord Zhou,
704
00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:34,799
did we not?
705
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,039
A dead hero
706
00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:37,599
is a dangerous thing.
707
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:39,839
To break her,
708
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,559
we must tear her honor
709
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:44,119
to shreds.
710
00:33:45,319 --> 00:33:47,119
You used the same vile tricks
711
00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:48,799
on your lady wife.
712
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:49,559
Silence!
713
00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:51,960
You couple with a brothel-crone
714
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,000
who could
715
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,559
have bred you!
716
00:33:54,759 --> 00:33:56,119
You are a disgrace!
717
00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:09,480
Had she not
718
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:10,599
pulled me from the dead,
719
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,199
I would be bones,
720
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,320
and you would have no high place.
721
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,599
Utter another insult,
722
00:34:20,679 --> 00:34:21,920
and I shall truss you up
723
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,119
for Meng Tinghui.
724
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,679
We can burn together.
725
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:29,880
Do we understand each other,
726
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:31,920
BROTHER?
727
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,079
Truly.
728
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,440
A tragic romantic.
729
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:44,760
If you have no stomach for this,
730
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:46,400
stay hidden.
731
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:49,360
I shall weave the web for Meng myself.
732
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:53,159
I know you excel
733
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:54,760
at vile tricks.
734
00:34:55,639 --> 00:34:57,519
I shall see how foul a web
735
00:34:59,079 --> 00:35:00,280
you spin.
736
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,280
Baron,
737
00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:19,119
the meeting place is ahead.
738
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:24,719
You are a punctual man, Baron.
739
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,039
You have seen the magic of my pill,
740
00:35:29,159 --> 00:35:30,679
I presume?
741
00:35:31,199 --> 00:35:32,159
I sell to the living,
742
00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:33,360
not the dead.
743
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:34,559
Your poison slays them
744
00:35:34,559 --> 00:35:35,519
in a single sunrise.
745
00:35:36,199 --> 00:35:36,760
Do I ask Orcus
746
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,480
for the payment?
747
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:39,559
It can be softened.
748
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,199
A slight turn of the mortar,
749
00:35:42,639 --> 00:35:44,400
and they shall beg to live
750
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:46,159
in your shadow.
751
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,400
A sharp sting before the sweet promise.
752
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,519
My friend,
753
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,199
you excel this game.
754
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:55,400
Yet,
755
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
can you truly secure
756
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:00,519
an endless harvest
757
00:36:00,519 --> 00:36:01,639
of this fatal bliss?
758
00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:03,920
I have found a secluded forest
759
00:36:04,119 --> 00:36:05,719
near the Capital.
760
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,199
We shall cultivate
761
00:36:08,039 --> 00:36:09,760
the Fairbane in secret.
762
00:36:10,199 --> 00:36:11,960
If the Baron nods,
763
00:36:12,159 --> 00:36:13,840
the pact is sealed.
764
00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:17,920
Thoughtful of you.
765
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:20,880
And how shall we
766
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:22,639
divide the spoils?
767
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:25,760
I demand sixty percent.
768
00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:29,079
When these broken souls
769
00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:30,079
wither,
770
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:31,760
it is us they will curse
771
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,039
with their dying breath.
772
00:36:34,559 --> 00:36:35,159
Agreed.
773
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:36,639
When the poison
774
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,400
takes the realm,
775
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,320
you shall gladly yield
776
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:42,239
that meager coin.
777
00:36:42,519 --> 00:36:43,159
A clean deal!
778
00:36:44,199 --> 00:36:45,400
Now we are partners in blood,
779
00:36:46,679 --> 00:36:48,519
why hide behind a mask?
780
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,360
To see my face, Baron,
781
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:54,400
is to see your own grave.
782
00:37:06,079 --> 00:37:07,920
A single sound summons the hollowed.
783
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:10,039
Sound this,
784
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,559
and the poisoned shall be
785
00:37:12,559 --> 00:37:13,599
but hounds on your leash.
786
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:18,559
Gods, Baron...
787
00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:20,239
they move
788
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,239
like shadows.
789
00:37:21,559 --> 00:37:22,840
In all my years,
790
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,159
I have never witnessed
791
00:37:24,159 --> 00:37:25,199
such unbending pride!
792
00:37:25,639 --> 00:37:26,880
A whistle
793
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,559
to command the hollowed...
794
00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:30,880
It is a rare treasure.
795
00:37:31,199 --> 00:37:32,039
There is more.
796
00:37:33,039 --> 00:37:33,719
Your face
797
00:37:34,199 --> 00:37:35,039
is plastered
798
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,079
across every alley in the capital.
799
00:37:39,159 --> 00:37:40,119
A bounty?
800
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:44,039
That pestilent wench!
801
00:37:44,639 --> 00:37:45,679
Who else
802
00:37:45,679 --> 00:37:46,400
but that viper?
803
00:37:49,639 --> 00:37:50,519
Yet... the artist
804
00:37:50,519 --> 00:37:51,840
has talent.
805
00:37:52,199 --> 00:37:54,199
The eyes are remarkably
806
00:37:55,519 --> 00:37:56,639
like mine.
807
00:37:57,599 --> 00:37:58,400
Let them search.
808
00:37:59,519 --> 00:38:00,519
The coin still rolls.
809
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,239
Our ally in high places
810
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,039
have more to fear than we do.
811
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:17,639
Huang Bo,
812
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,239
ready a carriage.
813
00:38:19,639 --> 00:38:20,599
I ride alone tonight.
814
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:21,639
You stay.
815
00:38:22,199 --> 00:38:22,880
Alone?
816
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:23,880
Your Majesty...
817
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:25,280
Your sworn shields must follow.
818
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,079
I shall go with you.
819
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:29,079
It is a meeting with Lady Meng,
820
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,000
not a nest of vipers.
821
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:32,320
I need no shields.
822
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:33,000
Your Majesty,
823
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,400
have I displeased you?
824
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,239
Why cast me aside?
825
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:37,559
Lady Meng would not mind
826
00:38:37,559 --> 00:38:38,519
my presence.
827
00:38:38,519 --> 00:38:39,440
Yet I mind!
828
00:38:40,039 --> 00:38:40,920
Cease this babble
829
00:38:41,199 --> 00:38:41,960
and do as I bid.
830
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:43,679
As you command...
831
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,280
I said no servants!
832
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:13,360
Leave me!
833
00:39:37,519 --> 00:39:38,519
Greetings, Your Majesty...
834
00:39:39,159 --> 00:39:39,800
Insolent wench!
835
00:39:41,119 --> 00:39:42,440
Who gave you leave to enter?
836
00:39:43,199 --> 00:39:44,199
Speak, or lose your head!
837
00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:09,320
Hal?
838
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,039
The stars have turned.
839
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,719
Why is he late?
