I shall take my leave.

That's enough.

You still have the cheek

to call yourself the concubine?

Do you really think

I don't know anything

about your background?

You're the assassin

at my birthday banquet

That time

you failed to assassinate King Peng Cheng.

You escaped by the skin of your teeth.

That's why you entered the mansion on the pretext of the wedding.

Then, you carried out the assassination on the wedding day.

King Peng Cheng got injured because of that.

Right?

I'm afraid not.

During your birthday banquet,

I was in the chamber.

How could I possibly be the assassin?

As for the assassination on the wedding day,

all the more it doesn't make sense.

Your Highness.

It's better

not to believe in rumours.

You sure have a way with words.

You know best

what I was talking about.

After I have you searched,

I'll see how you're going to deny it.

What are you waiting for?

Search her body!

Your Highness!

Tell brother

to pass this medicine to King Peng Cheng.

I'll leave with you.

A bunch of nonsense!

If you have anything to say,

you can say it to Great Consort Sun.

Give it to King Peng Cheng.

The Song of Glory

Take her away.

Consort Li.

This way, please.

Episode 26 ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Your Highness.

We found nothing.

How is that possible?

Where did you hide it?

Speak!

I don't know

what is it that Your Highness is looking for.

Also, I don't understand

a single thing Your Highness just said.

If Your Highness insists on this,

I'm afraid it's not appropriate.

It's getting late.

Your Highness should rest earlier.

I shall take my leave.

Stand right there!

After everything,

are you so naive to think

that you can get away with this?

I think you'll only admit it

when death is staring you in the face.

Go and get it.

This is what we found under your dressing table

in Fang Yin Pavilion.

You came in here

to assassinate King Peng Cheng.

Right?

It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not.

All it takes

is to make it known to all

about the dagger

that's found in your room.

That's enough to make the Shen family

consigned to eternal damnation.

Princess Consort Xie is here!

A timely arrival is better than an early one.

So you've admitted

that you're the one

who assassinated King Peng Cheng?

Princess Consort Xie.

Princess Consort Xie.

She has admitted

that she assassinated King Peng Cheng.

Never would I thought

that King Peng Cheng has invited trouble home.

The Shen family

must be behind all this.

That's why King Peng Cheng

would fall for her tricks.

Princess Consort Xie.

This is a serious matter.

It concerns King Peng Cheng's life

and the safety of Song.

Consort Li.

Was it really you

who tried to assassinate King Peng Cheng?

Your Highness.

It's not what you think.

Are you saying that I've falsely accused you?

You clearly

admitted it yourself.

You denied it as soon as Princess Consort Xie is here.

You know that she's is kind-hearted.

So you think you can pull the wool

over her eyes?

This dagger is cast-iron proof!

You can't deny it!

What about this dagger?

Why couldn't we find you

in the entire mansion?

Do you have any explanation

for me?

Tell me.

Was it you?

Why?

King Peng Cheng has been nothing but kind to the Shen family.

I treated you

with sincerity.

Why did you bite the hand that feeds you?

Did everything you told me

was all lies?

Did you just make up stories?

Tell me!

Why did you do that?

Tell me!

All right now.

Princess Consort Xie.

What matters now is Kang.

She used this dagger

to assassinate Kang.

Kang is injured now.

But I don't why he's hiding it from you.

Royal Mother.

Let's check up on His Highness.

All right.

Sure victory for Song!

Sure victory for Song!

Sure victory for Song!

Sure victory for Song!

Fourth Brother.

I'll leave everything

to you now, General Shen.

Don't worry.

Defend the North to death!

Defend the North to death!

Defend the North to death!

Defend the North to death!

San Bao.

Consort Li entrusted me

to pass this to His Highness.

Sure victory!

Where's Consort Li?

She's been taken to Ren Shou Pavilion.

Your Highness.

Consort Li has gotten the gall of tiger.

Let's go back now.

Your Highness!

Something has happened!

Your Highness.

I've something to report to you.

What is it?

Great Consort Sun has captured

the assassin from the wedding night.

It was Consort Li.

Consort Li has confessed in Ren Shou Pavilion

that she assassinated Her Highness on the wedding night

and kept it a secret.

Princess Consort Xie

has passed the matter to Ministry of Justice.

Fourth Brother.

Consort Li of the Shen family assassinated King Peng Cheng

with the intention to rebel.

The Shen family can't get away with it!

Take down General Shen and his son!

Lu Yuan!

Who dares to do it?

Don't move.

General!

Your Highness!

Fourth Brother!

-Your Highness! -Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Physician Chen.

How is His Highness now?

He has a weak pulse.

There's almost nothing...

Why isn't the medicine ready yet?

It'll be too late if His Highness doesn't take the medicine now.

Here comes the medicine!

Hurry. It's ready?

Great Consort Sun is here!

Xuan!

Xuan.

-Xuan. -Royal Mother.

What brings you here?

I heard that

Kang passed out at the military ceremony.

Has he taken the medicine?

What's going on?

Nothing.

How's Kang now?

He's fine.

Kang!

Royal Mother!

Hide first.

All right.

Kang.

Why does Kang

look so pale?

It pains me

to see him like that.

You called yourself a physician?

You're doing such a bad job!

Get out!

Physician Sun.

Yes.

Hurry.

Check up on Kang.

Hold on!

You're dismissed.

Yes.

Royal Mother.

There's no need for that.

Fourth Brother is just a little weak now.

He'll be fine after taking the medicine.

Will he recover

by just taking this medicine?

Let me do it.

I'll do it, Royal Mother.

Let me do it.

He's weak now.

Let me feed him.

♫ I fall in love with the wrong person but I'm so madly in love with you ♫

♫ What's wrong if I put up a tough front? ♫

♫ Time bestows upon us the rays of light ♫

♫ Forbidden words are like entangled swords ♫

♫ It feels as if my heart is pierced with knives ♫

Fourth Brother.

I made it.

Royal Mother.

Are you all right?

Pull her away!

She's an assassin!

Stop!

Shen Lige assassinated King Peng Cheng.

Take her down.

-Yes. -Yes.

Stop!

How dare you do this in front of King Peng Cheng?

Are you trying to rebel?

Xuan.

Why are you so foolish?

She's the one

who put your Fourth Brother in this state.

I found the bloody dagger

in Fang Yin Pavilion.

Princess Consort Xie can testify to that.

She's the one who assassinated your Fourth Brother.

How could you still stick up for her?

Royal Mother!

What can a dagger prove?

When Fourth Brother is awake,

he can make the call.

We have both witness and evidence.

The Shen family sent Consort Li

to assassinate King Peng Cheng.

Given the heinous crime,

they shall be executed.

When we arrested General Shen and his son

at the military ceremony,

they didn't fight back.

King Jing Ling.

You deliberately delay the time.

Are you trying to protect the Shen family

and harbour this woman?

His Highness will wake up soon.

What's the matter?

You couldn't wait that long?

Do you think I'm not aware

of your ulterior motive?

That's enough!

His Highness is unconscious now.

Yet, here you are, making a scene here!

Are you really concerned

about His Highness's life?

What are you really here for?

Your Highness, we...

Get out!

Get out, all of you!

I shall take my leave.

Take her away.

Royal Mother.

Your Highness.

You should go too.

I want to stay with King Peng Cheng alone.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Shen Yang.

I'm ordered

to raid Shen's mansion.

Major Xue!

What crime has the Shen family committed?

Consort Li is suspected of assassinating King Peng Cheng.

The entire Shen family can't get away with the crime.

All must be taken to Ministry of Justice for interrogations.

That's impossible.

That's impossible!

I'm just following orders.

Take them down!

Yes!

Who dares to lay a finger on madam?

What's going on?

Why would things turn out this way?

Did something go wrong?

That's right.

Hold your horses.

The Shen family is loyal to the country.

Justice will be served.

I believe the imperial court

will clear our name.

Major Xue!

I'll go with you.

Your Highness.

Why are you in such a state now?

Since yesterday

everything in King Peng Cheng's mansion has changed...

and become so unfamiliar...

that I couldn't breathe.

Your Highness.

Quickly wake up.

I need you now

more than ever.

I need your help

and guidance.

Tell me what I should do.

I don't believe that Consort Li will assassinate you.

But now all the evidence

points to her.

I couldn't help but to doubt her.

I don't know what to do.

Your Highness.

I'm begging you.

Please wake up.

As long as you wake up,

I can agree to anything.

I'll listen to you.

It's all their fault.

If they hadn't delayed the time

to give the medicine...

Consort Li has been arrested.

Your Highness.

What do we do?

Find a chance to tell Consort Li

that His Highness hasn't gained consciousness yet.

Your Highness.

You can't go on

starving yourself.

Go back to Jiao Hua Pavilion and take a rest.

Thanks for your concern.

All I want to do now is to keep His Highness company.

In the days to come,

we'll need you to keep His Highness company.

You can't fall sick.

Inform me at once

as soon as you hear anything.

I will.

Fourth Brother.

Wake up soon.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

There's a military report from the North.

Great Consort Sun ordered me

to deliver the ginseng soup to King Peng Cheng.

His Highness hasn't regained consciousness.

Her Highness told us to leave it aside first.

When King Peng Cheng wakes up,

His Highness can drink it at once.

All right.

Your Highness.

I'm Shen Leqing.

Do you still remember me?

Your Highness.

Get well soon.

I'll keep praying for you.

Are you done yet?

Yes.

Since you're here,

why are you sneaking around?

Who are you?

I was the one who led you...

to Shen Lige.

Luohua Relay Station.

What's your motive?

Shen Tingzhang and King Peng Cheng.

Our goals are the same.

Who exactly are you?

Shen Tingzhang and I

used to be the Lieutenant generals...

under Emperor Gaozu.

In the Battle of Peng Cheng,

Shen Tingzhang got into the good graces of the protector

For King Peng Cheng's sake,

he accused us as the rebel army

and caused my brothers to die

at the hands of Wei army.

There's an irreconcilable enmity

between him and me.

You are the survivor

of the Battle of Peng Cheng.

Why should I believe you?

Simply because we have a common enemy.

I'm someone who can help you.

The die is cast.

The Shen family will die for sure.

Besides, you're a crippled.

What can you help me with?

This

will consign the Shen family to eternal damnation.

This baby clothes

will surely come in handy.

Also

the dagger.

The dagger?

At that time, this dagger...

No.

I'm sorry, Fourth Brother.

I didn't mean to do this.

I didn't know it was you.

I'm sorry.

Silly.

I'm sorry.

Consort Li.

Consort Li.

Military Advisor Cao.

How's His Highness?

His Highness is still unconscious.

Still unconscious?

What about my senior brother? What did he say?

Physician Chen said

although the medicine was taken at the last minute

it was only half the dose.

During the military ceremony,

there was an acceleration of blood flow.

It caused the poison to penetrate even deeper.

It's still uncertain if the medicine will be effective.

We can only...

leave it to God.

Leave it to God?

Why would it turn out this way?

Lu Residence

Why are you following me?

Master.

Why are you working hand in glove

with Lu Yuan?

What have you been planning

all these years?

I don't know you anymore.

Stay out of it

and mind your own business.

Otherwise

don't blame me for being ruthless.

Master.

This concerns Lige.

Forgive me for not obeying your order.

The truth

will come to light tomorrow.

Master.

You have to tell me now

or you can kill me.

Otherwise, I won't let you

lay a finger on Lige.

Master, you can't leave!

Master!

What are you really up to?

General.

What's exactly is going on?

Why did they say

that Lige assassinated King Peng Cheng?

How's that possible?

Is Lu Yuan

trying to set us up?

Zi Lan, calm down.

Don't worry.

Lige will never do that.

I'm afraid

this isn't that simple.

Come.

Sit down and take a rest.

Come.

Zhi.

Father.

Do you remember

Lu Yuan and Xie Hao

instigated the court officials to cause an uproar?

If King Peng Cheng was sick

and couldn't discuss court matters

why would they get so worked up?

After that,

it also led

to the instability of the Suiyuan Army.

I thought they were directing it against me.

From the looks of it,

their true motive was to force King Peng Cheng

to participate in the military ceremony

to disclose the fact that His Highness is injured

and frame us.

But the ones who got implicated...

Father.

Before the military ceremony,

King Peng Cheng suddenly gave a command

and told me

to stop Lige

from returning to the mansion.

But Lige insisted to go back

and told me to pass a bottle of medicine

to King Peng Cheng.

Medicine?

King Peng Cheng was poisoned.

What about Lige?

As soon as Lige returned to the mansion,

she was taken by Yue Fang.

She said she was acting under the order of Great Consort Sun and Princess Consort Xie.

What?

Lige was taken?

Where was she taken to?

Is Lige all right?

Zi Lan.

Zhi.

Zi Lan.

Zhi, tell me!

-Calm down. -Tell me!

Zi Lan, don't worry.

She'll surely be fine.

Zhi.

-Tell me. -Mother.

Don't worry. Mind your health.

I've passed the medicine to San Bao.

King Peng Cheng will surely be fine.

When His Highness has recovered,

our family

will be fine too.

General.

Our daughter

was away from us for 18 years.

She finally

came back to our side.

No.

She's back to our side now!

We can't lose her again.

Nothing can ever happen to Lige!

Nothing can ever happen to Lige!

Zi Lan, don't worry.

I won't let anything happen to Lige.

No, I have to find her.

Let me out!

Zi Lan.

Let me out!

Mother.

Zi Lan.

Zi Lan, calm down.

-Mother! -Lige!

Zi Lan!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother, is that you?

Father.

Brother!

Father.

Mother...

There are signs of a relapse.

Zhi.

Don't tell your mother anything

about Lige anymore.

She can't take any more emotional shock.

I understand.

But Father.

Even if King Peng Cheng's injury

wasn't caused by Lige,

judging from the situation,

it's all directed against us.

The inevitable had come to pass.

Our family

has long prepared ourselves for this, right?

Yes.

As for Feng,

I don't where he is now.

Lu Yuan's men

will surely not let him go.

This is a serious matter.

He must be feeling loss

being all by himself.

Our family is in trouble.

With him out there,

he might be able to help to get to the bottom of things.

I have confidence in Feng.

What I'm most worried about

is the North.

Wei army is out for blood.

Military situations are ever-changing.

If things get hold up

the Wei army will steal a march on us.

That's right.

I wonder if King Peng Cheng has regained consciousness.

We can only hope that His Highness will wake up soon.

His Highness is the only one

who can take control of the situation.

Lige.

Ministry of Justice

Your Highness.

Chief Secretariat.

Bring the suspects in.

Lige.

Lige.

Mother.

Lige.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Let go of your hands.

On your knees!

Minister of Justice.

We're only suspects.

We have not yet been convicted.

I'm still the secondary consort of King Peng Cheng.

My father and brother

are still the officials.

As for my mother, she's been conferred with an honorary title.

How dare of you to be so quick to jump to conclusion before we're even convicted?

Shen Lige.

Do you plead guilty

to the assassination of King Peng Cheng?

No.

No?

On the day of the assassination,

why did you leave the mansion without permission?

We found this bloody dagger

in Fang Yin Pavilion.

Great Consort Sun and Princess Consort Xie can to bear witness to it.

How do you explain yourself?

When Princess Consort Xie interrogated you,

you keep silent about it.

You kept the assassination a secret.

If it wasn't you,

why didn't you

give a single explanation?

Mind your words.

If I were an assassin,

why didn't King Peng Cheng

punish me?

Yesterday, His Highness and I

were lovingly together in Cheng Xiu Pavilion.

How do you explain that?

I didn't say a word

because I know nothing about it.

Only when His Highness has gained conscious,

will he clear my name.

You sure have a way with words.

Officials.

Don't ever be fooled

by this woman.

She knows that King Peng Cheng

hasn't regained consciousness.

That's why she is clamouring

for King Peng Cheng to make the ruling.

This is clearly her trick

to exonerate herself.

Officials.

There's something

that I want to bring to light today.

The Consort Li before you

is not only the culprit

in the assassination of King Peng Cheng.

She is also the assassin

who got away during Great Consort Sun's birthday banquet.

Central Protector Lu.

Stop making slanderous accusations.

Consort Li is innocent.

How could you slander her as you wish?

You're stitching her up

with an incident from a long time ago.

Where's the evidence?

I'm the witness.

I was ordered to hunt down the assassin.

I've personally fought with her before.

I can confirm that assassin

is Consort Li.

Just when I was about to report this,

another assassination took place.

I can infer from this

that the Shen family has been harbouring ill intentions

against King Peng Cheng for a long time.

Shen Tingzhang.

You tried to murder King Peng Cheng.

You're guilty of treason and should be punished for that!

Minister of Justice.

Quickly pass the sentence.

Hold on.

There are many doubtful points in this case.

It can't prove that Consort Li is guilty.

It was your one-sided statement

about the assassination during the birthday banquet.

How could you implicate General Shen in it?

Minister of Justice.

The war in the North is in a state of emergency.

General Shen

is the general of Suiyuan Army.

If we change the generals now,

it will undermine the morale of the army.

In my opinion,

we'll let General Shen

lead the army to the North first.

As for the rest

we'll decide again

when King Peng Cheng has regained consciousness.

Your Highness.

I have to disagree with you.

Wouldn't the security of the North

be at risk

if we put the military power

in the hands of such a criminal?

Such behaviour

shouldn't be left unchecked.

Minister of Justice.

Allow me to use the evidence.

This

is the dagger found

in Consort Li's chamber.

General Shen.

Do you recognize it?

This is...

Do you dare to tell all of us

the story behind this dagger?

This was a gift

from Emperor Gaozu

after the Battle of Peng Cheng.

It was also a wedding gift

from Emperor Gaozu.

This dagger

can prevent the Shen family from being implicated in this.

There gift bestowed by the emperors

are recorded in the official books.

No one can question that.

Shen Tingzhang.

You ordered Consort Li

to assassinate King Peng Cheng.

That was an act of treason.

What should be the punishment?

That's right.

The dagger belongs to the Shen family.

But 18 years ago,

my daughter was abducted

along with the dagger.

Someone with an ulterior motive

might make use of that.

The Shen family

will never do anything to harm King Peng Cheng.

Minister of Justice, please help to investigate this!

Someone with an ulterior motive?

I'm afraid

that person is you!

Minister of Justice.

There's irrefutable evidence.

Aren't you going to pass the sentence?

Hold on!

I can prove

that the Shen family doesn't have a clue about this.

Go on.

That's because

I'm not their daughter!

Lige.

What...

What are you talking about?

What did you say?

General Shen.

Mrs. Shen.

I'm sorry.

I'm not your daughter.

I've been lying to you

all along.

No.

You're my daughter.

I've been looking for you for 18 years.

It can't be wrong!

It can't be wrong.

Mrs. Shen.

I'm sorry

for letting you down.

I'm just an orphan.

I've been using you

all this time.

I'm not your daughter.

I'm sorry.

No, Lige!

Lige.

You're my daughter.

Lige.

Lige.

This criminal

made up such a ridiculous lie

to help the Shen family

get away with this.

Do you recognize this?

This was my baby clothes.

Why would you have it?

Lige.

This was the clothes you wore

when you were taken away.

I did the stitching

of the patterns on it all by myself.

You're my daughter!

How's that possible?

Lige.

You're my child.

The moment I first saw you,

I knew you're my daughter.

You're my daughter.

It won't be wrong.

It won't be wrong.

That's impossible.

Lige.

You're my daughter.

Father, what's going on?

You're my daughter.

That's impossible.

You're my daughter.

Mrs. Shen, you've made a mistake.

That's not true.

I'm not your daughter.

No.

Lige, you're my daughter.

Mrs. Shen, you've made a mistake!

You've made a mistake!

I'm not your daughter!

No.

No.

Lige, no matter what...

Shut up!

I'm not your daughter.

The dagger.

Your baby clothes.

Are that not enough to prove that you're my daughter?

I'm not related

to the Shen family!

Lige!
