Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,220
The Scholar and the Emperor
2
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,380
Once you become a poisoned man,
3
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:37,140
you'll join them in terrorizing
the people of the capital.
4
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,100
Hold on to me.
5
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,216
Meng Tinghui, stay awake.
6
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,980
Stay awake.
7
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,980
Your Majesty.
8
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,020
Hold on.
9
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,740
Huang Bo.
10
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:30,900
Your Majesty.
11
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,216
I...
12
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:37,260
can no longer protect you.
13
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,460
Huang Bo.
14
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,100
Huang Bo.
15
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,020
Meng Tinghui.
16
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,500
Hold on.
17
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,176
Meng Tinghui.
18
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,736
Sir.
19
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,340
The Divine Guard has surrounded us. We must
withdraw at once.
20
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,740
Chief.
21
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,020
Chief.
22
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,016
Search every inch carefully.
23
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,016
I want them found, dead or alive.
24
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,340
-Yes.
-Yes.
25
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,780
Captain Di.
26
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:00,336
Search carefully.
27
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,780
-Yes.
-Yes.
28
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,380
There's blood here.
29
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,580
Who are you?
30
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,620
Why are you trying to kill me?
31
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,500
There's movement over there.
32
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,100
Quick!
33
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,776
He's still breathing.
34
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,100
Take him away.
35
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,100
It's been three days.
36
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,056
Why hasn't she woken up?
37
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,736
Reporting to Your Majesty.
38
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,416
Lord Meng's arrow wound was extremely
dangerous.
39
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,536
Fortunately, it missed her heart by half an
inch.
40
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,860
It is already Heaven's blessing that she
survived.
41
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,536
For her to improve, she still needs...
42
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:33,736
some more time.
43
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,216
In her current condition,
44
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,136
could this be related to taking too much
Wuqiong Pill?
45
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,340
Your Majesty.
46
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,856
I have treated Lord Meng for several days,
47
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,336
yet I have never found
48
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,776
any trace of the Wuqiong Pill's medicinal
effects in her body.
49
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:46,936
Lord Meng's symptoms
50
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,376
were completely different from Miss Yan's that
day.
51
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,500
They were caused by the severity of her blade
wound.
52
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:02,900
No matter what rare medicines are required,
53
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,900
or what treatment is needed,
54
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,296
you must heal Lord Meng as quickly as
possible.
55
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,860
I want her...
56
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,260
safe and sound.
57
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,780
I will do everything in my power.
58
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,780
Huang Bo.
59
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,660
Someone!
60
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:51,576
Your Majesty.
61
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,380
Is there any news of Imperial Guard Huang?
62
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:54,576
Reporting to Your Majesty.
63
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,420
Captain Di is leading a full search.
64
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,940
Zhishu.
65
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,536
I prepared all of Mengmeng's
usual things and favorite foods,
66
00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:14,820
but she still hasn't woken up.
67
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:17,536
When I was poisoned before,
68
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:19,536
was she in this much pain too?
69
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,900
She stayed by my side all night back then.
70
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,100
Now it's my turn.
71
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,460
I'm so scared.
72
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,700
I'm really scared.
73
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,376
Lord Meng has survived so many hardships.
74
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,260
She will surely make it through this one
safely.
75
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,780
Only after enduring so many trials
76
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,580
do we realize how
precious the person before us is.
77
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,100
Take care of yourself.
78
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,700
Don't wear yourself out.
79
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,020
He's already dead.
80
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,500
Husband.
81
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:09,416
Don't you know how to knock?
82
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,456
I saw that you've been corresponding with
Beijian.
83
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,896
You want to recommend
Beijian's Divine Maiden for a marriage alliance.
84
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,176
You went through my study again?
85
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,540
Is that important?
86
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:19,856
I came today to remind you.
87
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,576
The Divine Maiden of Beijian is a foreign
woman.
88
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,016
Even if she truly becomes Empress,
89
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,896
why would she sincerely obey you?
90
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,536
If you want control over the position of
Empress,
91
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:30,740
Shen Zhili is the most suitable choice.
92
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,016
You are merely a woman.
93
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,740
Do not meddle in affairs of state.
94
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,696
Haven't you always dreamed of rising to the
highest rank?
95
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,940
Why pretend to be above it all now?
96
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,736
The credit for controlling the floods back
then
97
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,140
originally belonged to my father.
98
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,740
If he had not drowned,
99
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,300
how would you have become Great Ning's
youngest Chancellor?
100
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,216
All these years,
101
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,096
I never exposed you.
102
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,856
And now I'm even planning for your sake.
103
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,336
You could use my Yuan family,
104
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,256
so why can't you use Shen Zhili?
105
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,620
No one is better than you at digging up the
past.
106
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,736
Choosing the Empress
concerns the foundation of the state.
107
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,700
It is not your place to interfere.
108
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,336
Then answer me one thing today.
109
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,896
You've deliberately refused
to recommend Shen Zhili.
110
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,700
Is it really because of your own selfish
motives?
111
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,060
Absurd.
112
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,340
I have court affairs to attend to.
I have no time for this nonsense.
113
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,576
What is this?
114
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,220
Gu Qin... Gu Qin.
115
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,536
Before I came today, I was still deceiving
myself.
116
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:26,896
If you were willing to
recommend Shen Zhili as Empress,
117
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,336
then all these filthy things you've done
118
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,256
I would pretend I never saw.
119
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,736
But you simply cannot bear to let her go.
120
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,016
You want her for yourself,
121
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,260
don't you?
122
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,660
These are merely portraits used to teach
students.
123
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,176
Hide them?
124
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,336
Go on, hide them. Keep hiding them!
125
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,736
When you painted these portraits,
126
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,416
what filthy thoughts were in your mind?
127
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,496
Don't you know that yourself?
128
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,616
Have you forgotten
129
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,100
the paintings you gave me back then?
130
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,376
Lingyi.
131
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,816
Recommending Beijian's Divine Maiden
132
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,416
is for the sake of relations
between our two nations.
133
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,056
His Majesty certainly will not refuse.
134
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,656
The Divine Maiden has no one to rely on in
Great Ning.
135
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:00,976
If I can help her become Empress,
136
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,740
she will naturally depend on me.
137
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,496
Lingyi.
138
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,016
We are husband and wife, one body.
139
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,940
We should put the greater good first.
140
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,860
So you still remember I'm your wife.
141
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,536
You used my entire Yuan family
142
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:22,656
as stepping-stones for
your official career.
143
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:23,616
Now that my father is gone,
144
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,896
the deep affection you once showed me...
145
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,740
you cannot even be bothered to pretend
anymore.
146
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,660
Lingyi.
147
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,056
I have been overwhelmed with government
affairs.
148
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,296
Some neglect is unavoidable.
149
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,336
We have been husband
and wife for ten years.
150
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,820
Are you still the same person you were back
then?
151
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,616
We are both at this age now.
152
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,216
Can we stop pressing each other so
relentlessly
153
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,456
and arguing without end?
154
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,736
Yes.
155
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,816
I've changed.
156
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,776
I've become this shrewish woman
157
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,620
because you forced me into it.
158
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,580
Gu Qin.
159
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,336
You treat me coldly and deceive me.
160
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,136
You trapped me inside this Chancellor's
residence
161
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,820
and made my life worse than death.
162
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,976
And now you've suddenly
grown so warm toward Shen Zhili?
163
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,096
All those things you once gave me,
164
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,340
the poems, paintings,
and harmony between us,
165
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,856
now you want to repeat them exactly
166
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,380
with Shen Zhili.
167
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:15,936
Do you believe I'll go tell
the entire court right now
168
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,016
how the dignified and virtuous Right
Chancellor
169
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,656
-personally teaches his favorite disciple?
-Shut up!
170
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,016
Shut your mouth!
171
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,456
Ten years.
172
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,856
For ten years you've watched
me every day with suspicion.
173
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,336
Every tiny matter
174
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,020
you drag out and settle accounts over.
175
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,500
No matter what I do,
you are never satisfied.
176
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,020
Since you regret marrying me,
177
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,060
then let us divorce.
178
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,056
You've finally said what you truly feel,
haven't you?
179
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,736
It's because my Yuan family
180
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,060
is no longer useful to you.
181
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,856
And now I'm old and faded,
182
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,416
unable to compare with Shen Zhili, right?
183
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,656
The Shen family is powerful and influential
now,
184
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,736
enjoying great prestige.
185
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,816
You want to cast me aside
186
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,380
and attach yourself to the
Shen family, don't you?
187
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,940
You're completely unreasonable.
188
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,660
It is clearly you
189
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:05,696
who carries yourself every day like a
priceless noble lady,
190
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,736
arrogant beyond measure.
191
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,896
At the slightest displeasure,
you fly into a age.
192
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,696
I never expected you to be
a perfect, virtuous wife.
193
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,056
But you have never borne a child,
194
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,016
leaving me unable to
continue the family line.
195
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,096
And all day you indulge in those strange
superstitions,
196
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,816
making me the laughingstock of the entire
court
197
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:19,736
and costing me all dignity.
198
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,380
Is that my fault?
199
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,980
It is clearly you
200
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,136
who never comes to my room at night.
201
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,736
always finding every excuse to avoid me.
202
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,700
And now you turn around and blame me.
203
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,900
Gu Qin... Gu Qin.
204
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,656
You truly are the most
selfish man imaginable.
205
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,416
Even your feelings for Shen Zhili
206
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:40,456
are nothing but false affection.
207
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,736
The only person you have ever loved is
yourself.
208
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,696
A hypocrite who has accomplished nothing,
209
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,260
who can only rise by relying on women.
210
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,456
You hit me?
211
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,620
You actually laid a hand on me?
212
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,980
Gu Qin, listen to me.
213
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,020
As long as I, Yuan Lingyi, draw breath,
214
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,700
I will never step aside for Shen Zhili.
215
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,136
Your Majesty.
216
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,456
The court cannot go a day without its
sovereign.
217
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,696
You have not attended
court for several days.
218
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,336
State affairs are piling up,
219
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,500
and besides...
220
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:54,776
Your Majesty...
221
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,496
has remained at Lord Meng's
side for several days now.
222
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:58,660
This...
223
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,496
this truly violates proper etiquette.
224
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,300
Lord Meng thoroughly investigated the Tiger
Roar Gang
225
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,820
and even took an arrow for me.
226
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,936
Am I now to be criticized
227
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,980
even for visiting a meritorious official?
228
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:12,936
This old servant deserves death.
229
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,216
Lord Meng's achievements
230
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:15,416
are witnessed by Heaven and Earth.
231
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,336
But Your Majesty has already stayed here
several nights.
232
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:21,776
This old servant truly fears
for your imperial health.
233
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,416
I beg Your Majesty to return
to the palace and rest for now.
234
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,016
Once Lord Meng has recovered,
235
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,260
it will not be too late to visit her again.
236
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,776
Your Majesty, Chief Steward You.
237
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,296
You should return to the palace first. I am
here.
238
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,456
I will watch over Mengmeng.
239
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:42,376
Your Majesty.
240
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,896
I will not allow Lord Meng
241
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:44,816
to suffer the slightest mishap.
242
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,900
If anything happens to Lord Meng...
243
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,456
report to me immediately.
244
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,980
-Yes.
-Yes.
245
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,100
Shopkeeper Yan.
246
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:00,776
I suddenly remembered.
247
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,576
When we were developing
the antidote before,
248
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,736
I stored a box of storax incense at Bofeng
House.
249
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,580
It can revive the senses
and clear the mind.
250
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,020
Perhaps it can help my lord.
251
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,256
Really?
252
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,540
Then I'll go at once.
253
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,860
You're finally awake.
254
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,220
I had a...
255
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,860
terrifying
256
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:28,420
and very strange dream.
257
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:43,260
Come in.
258
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:44,980
Fuzhi?
259
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,260
Take off your outer robe.
260
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:51,856
This...
261
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,616
in broad daylight...
262
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,540
Shopkeeper Yan, you're being so eager
263
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,096
that I'm getting a little embarrassed.
264
00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,260
Shen Zhishu, stop acting.
265
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,380
Let me see.
266
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:19,500
Fuzhi.
267
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:21,580
I'm sorry.
268
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,620
I made you worry again.
269
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,900
I was wrong.
270
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,580
I was too careless.
271
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,420
I didn't even know you
were hurt this badly.
272
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,340
A man
273
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,696
needs a few scars
274
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,176
before he can call himself a true man.
275
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,100
Shen Zhishu.
276
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,776
Listen carefully.
277
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,980
Your body is not yours alone.
278
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,296
Ever since you returned from Shazhou,
279
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,780
half of it belongs to me too.
280
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,380
Next time,
281
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,260
if you dare neglect it again,
282
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,336
put it in danger,
283
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:02,740
or let it bleed,
284
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,580
I will never forgive you.
285
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:08,180
I was wrong.
286
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,780
If you ever get hurt like this again,
287
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,540
I'll find eight or ten handsome young men
288
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:22,856
just to anger you to death.
289
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,300
I won't dare.
290
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,656
My wife's command
291
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,096
weighs heavier than Mount Tai.
292
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:28,656
Who is your wife?
293
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,260
We're not even married yet.
294
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,020
We will be soon.
295
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,500
Why did you kill the Chief?
296
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:02,780
Lü Da.
297
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:05,860
You're still alive.
298
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,940
Surprised?
299
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,056
You're injured?
300
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,416
I have excellent wound
medicine in my study.
301
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,860
-Come with me, quickly...
-Spare me your hypocrisy.
302
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,820
I followed the assassin all the way here.
303
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,016
I never expected his own elder brother
304
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,700
to be so heartless.
305
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,100
Today I'll kill you
306
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,136
so you can keep the Chief company
307
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,736
on the road to the underworld.
308
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,736
Lü Da.
309
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,376
I had no choice but to kill him.
310
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,856
You saw it yourself.
311
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,456
He had gone completely mad.
312
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,296
All the silver he gave me over the years,
313
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,500
I kept it.
314
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,536
It is enough for you to
rebuild the Tiger Roar Gang.
315
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,100
You can become the new Chief.
316
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,936
I will be your backer.
317
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,100
From now on, the capital's
entire underworld
318
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,060
will belong to you, Lü Da.
319
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,376
You just want me
320
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,220
to become an obedient
dog for you, don't you?
321
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,816
No matter how mad he became,
322
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,656
he was still your own blood brother.
323
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,820
Go to hell!
324
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,940
He brought it upon himself.
325
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,820
I warned him long ago
326
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,616
not to touch the Wuqiong Pill.
327
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,020
If he had known when to stop,
328
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,616
how would things have come to this today?
329
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,296
Everything that happened to him
330
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,256
was also because of you.
331
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,376
You forced him down this path.
332
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,500
He regarded you as his only family.
333
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,416
Lü Da...
334
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,580
You were neither kin nor family to him.
335
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,256
Why go this far for him?
336
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,336
Wouldn't it be better to
become the new Chief?
337
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:44,496
Twelve years ago,
338
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,700
I was hunted down by my enemies.
339
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,220
He pulled me out from a pile of corpses.
340
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,580
My life has belonged to him ever since.
341
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:54,936
That younger brother...
342
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,380
you may refuse to acknowledge him,
343
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,460
but I do.
344
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,336
He cared too deeply for those close to him.
345
00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:05,740
That is why you were able
to use him again and again.
346
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,460
Madam, slow down.
347
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,376
Madam.
348
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,216
You're reacting so strongly.
349
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,536
Looking at the sky, it will rain soon.
350
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,976
Why don't we return to your room first?
351
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,416
I'm fine.
352
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,256
I want to tell my husband this good news
myself.
353
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,376
Doukou.
354
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,456
Go to the kitchen and bring me some sour
plums.
355
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,860
I'll go right away.
356
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,056
You used my elder brother
357
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:36,816
to abduct Madam Gu,
358
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,540
then pretended to be the
hero who rescued her.
359
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,176
After you married, to seize
the Chancellor's position,
360
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,460
you used my elder brother
again to murder your father-in-law.
361
00:24:58,680 --> 00:24:59,696
Husband.
362
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:00,776
Lingyi.
363
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,300
What he just said...
364
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,340
say it again.
365
00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:13,540
Madam Yuan.
366
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,816
You came at just the right time.
367
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,456
You still don't know, do you?
368
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,776
Your husband
369
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,496
has a half-brother who shares his father.
370
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,616
He ordered his own younger brother
371
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,900
to kill your father,
372
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,136
then stayed by your side
373
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,980
playing the dutiful son and virtuous
son-in-law all these years.
374
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,820
Lingyi.
375
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,620
Everything he said is a lie.
376
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,980
Ten years.
377
00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,220
A full ten years.
378
00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:02,700
I have lived inside the lies you carefully
wove.
379
00:26:03,360 --> 00:26:05,176
What lifesaving grace?
380
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,696
What catering to my tastes?
381
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,380
It was all calculation.
382
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:09,816
Even my father...
383
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,140
The night my father died,
384
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,016
you held me and said you
would care for me for life.
385
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,140
Was all of that a lie too?
386
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,580
Lingyi.
387
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,216
How can you believe the
words of that madman?
388
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,780
We are husband and wife.
389
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,096
Using me was one thing,
390
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:36,656
but why did you have to kill my father?
391
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,220
Why?
392
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,216
He treated you like his own son,
393
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,336
yet he died at the hands of
the man he trusted most.
394
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:45,740
Why?
395
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:48,856
Gu Qin.
396
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,776
For ten years, your acting before me was
flawless.
397
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,900
You could shed tears whenever you wished.
398
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,260
I never truly knew you at all.
399
00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,456
What else have you done to me?
400
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,180
How many other filthy things have you done?
401
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,140
Yes.
402
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,980
Are you planning to kill me now too?
403
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,860
Yes.
404
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:19,620
Once I'm dead,
405
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,100
you can openly go to Shen Zhili.
406
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,180
Lingyi...
407
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,380
My feelings for you are genuine.
408
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,580
Everything he said was fabricated.
409
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,340
You must believe your husband.
410
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,980
Forget everything that happened today.
411
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,940
We can live our lives well together.
412
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,380
Stay away! Don't come closer!
413
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,780
You demon wearing human skin!
414
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,096
Ling Yunfei is at the Bureau right now.
415
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:10,816
I'm going to tell Meng Tinghui,
416
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,576
and Shen Zhili,
417
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,696
how you murdered your father-in-law and
deceived the Emperor.
418
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,300
Today I will avenge my father myself.
419
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,820
From this day forward,
420
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,416
I vow to worship Buddha
with a sincere heart.
421
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:53,976
May Heaven show mercy
422
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,616
and grant the Gu family a son
423
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,100
to continue our bloodline.
424
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,340
The Chancellor's fate does
indeed show a son,
425
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,660
but...
426
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:24,976
his blessings and longevity
are rather thin.
427
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,860
Husband, we will surely have a child.
428
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,260
I worked so hard...
429
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,980
so hard to reach the position I have today.
430
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,780
Why...
431
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,660
why can't any of you let me be?
432
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,220
Husband.
433
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,940
The thing I regret most
434
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,980
is that day beneath the peach blossom tree,
435
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,616
when I mistook your false affection
436
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,060
for true love.
437
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,020
Only when I am with you
438
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,420
can I truly be myself.
439
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,700
I want to protect you
for the rest of my life.
440
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:22,820
Would you be willing, for my sake,
441
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,340
to be brave just once?
442
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,100
Guards!
443
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,856
There's an assassin!
444
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,416
Madam has been attacked!
445
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,936
There's an assassin!
446
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,376
Madam has been attacked!
447
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,740
Madam has been attacked!
448
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,700
Yin Qing, the case files.
449
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,220
Yin Qing.
450
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,856
Ling Yunfei has been imprisoned in the
Bureau's jail.
451
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,256
The people of Wangxian Valley
have also been properly settled.
452
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,540
Your arrow wound has not yet healed.
453
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,980
You should rest properly.
454
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,300
Although Ling Yunfei has been captured,
455
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,980
I still have many doubts.
456
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,616
Why was I not poisoned
457
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,060
after taking the Wuqiong Pill?
458
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,976
Apart from Ling Yunfei,
459
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,056
who else can control the poisoned men?
460
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,256
And why did they avoid me and focus their
attacks on Your Majesty?
461
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,376
Those assassins...
462
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,576
what connection do they have
to the Tiger Roar Gang?
463
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,380
Imperial Physician Li examined you.
464
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,700
There is no poison remaining in your body.
465
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,540
Perhaps your constitution is unusual
466
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,820
and you have a natural resistance to Fuqing
Herb.
467
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,896
I previously told you about
Zhongwan's past.
468
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,220
Now it is time to tell you the rest.
469
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,576
After Zhongwan fell,
470
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:53,776
a group of surviving loyalists
471
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,340
formed an organization
called the Blood Moon Society.
472
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,136
They remained hidden for years,
473
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,220
harboring delusions of restoring their
kingdom.
474
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,260
Those assassins...
475
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,696
could the Blood Moon Society have tried to
kill Your Majesty
476
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,060
for the sake of restoring Zhongwan?
477
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:07,940
And also...
478
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,296
that arrow.
479
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,536
That arrow...
480
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,660
you should not have taken it for me.
481
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,180
These past few days, while you lay
unconscious,
482
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,540
Huang Bo also vanished without a trace.
483
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,780
I was afraid.
484
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,100
Afraid that when I opened my eyes again,
485
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,740
-I wouldn't even see either of you one last time...
-Your Majesty.
486
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,176
Old Huang's remains
487
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,780
have been found.
488
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,940
Your Majesty.
489
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,380
Old Huang's body was badly damaged.
490
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,140
I fear the sight may distress Your Majesty.
491
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,060
Old Huang's sword
492
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,620
was also found.
493
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,260
From now on,
494
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,660
inside or outside these palace walls,
495
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,820
no one will accompany me the way you did.
496
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:53,620
Old Huang.
497
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,376
Weren't you always the one who followed the
rules most strictly?
498
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,660
Appearing before His Majesty wounded is a
grave breach of etiquette.
499
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,056
Get up and apologize to His Majesty.
500
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:02,220
Old Huang.
501
00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:05,060
Rest in peace.
502
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:06,900
From now on,
503
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,820
leave His Majesty's safety to us.
504
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,140
We will guard him as you once did.
505
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,140
Transmit my decree.
506
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,016
Posthumously confer upon
Imperial Guard Huang Bo
507
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,416
the title General of Divine Might and
Protector of the Realm.
508
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:23,856
Outside the Western
Mausoleum of the imperial city,
509
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,900
choose an auspicious site
and give him a grand burial
510
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,536
to honor his immortal service.
511
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,980
-Yes.
-Yes.
512
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,940
If a wound is kept hidden,
513
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,660
it becomes even harder to heal.
514
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,496
Pain is the same.
515
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,380
The more it is suppressed,
516
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:14,860
the deeper it eats into the bones.
517
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,300
I understand Your Majesty's pain.
518
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,860
A-Xiang died protecting me,
519
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,736
and Fuzhi nearly lost her
life because of me as well.
520
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,780
That kind of heart-piercing pain
521
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,380
makes life feel worse than death.
522
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,220
Even such a small wound
523
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,860
can bleed so much.
524
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,620
How much more so the human heart?
525
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,340
Your Majesty.
526
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,900
Perhaps you would feel better if you cried.
527
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,980
Since childhood, Father taught me
528
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:38,660
to forsake personal feelings
529
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:40,860
for the greater good.
530
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,740
For these twenty years,
531
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,900
I have been learning to be detached and
unfeeling,
532
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,020
to have no weakness,
533
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,020
to restrain myself from
becoming too close to others,
534
00:39:56,720 --> 00:40:00,180
and never expect anyone to understand my
loneliness.
535
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,180
I never tied my joys or sorrows to another
person.
536
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,740
Yet no matter how much I restrain myself,
537
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,700
there is always someone who can make me
grieve.
538
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,860
To open one's heart...
