Senior.

What are you doing here?

Open the coffin for autopsy.

The coroner is here.

King Jing Ling, please step aside.

Coroner.

Hold on.

Central Protector Lu.

The Ministry of Justice is right in front

Why are you so anxious?

Must you do this

right here?

Why is it Your Highness

keeps blocking us?

Your Highness is only transporting a corpse.

Do you have to be so anxious?

How absurd!

You racked your brains to have us stopped here.

Isn't it obvious

that you're making it personal?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

King Peng Cheng...

King Peng Cheng has regained consciousness.

Really?

King Peng Cheng has regained consciousness.

Let us all

head back to see King Peng Cheng.

If you have anything to say,

you can save it for King Peng Cheng.

Don't waste your breathe here.

The Song of Glory

Transport the coffin to King Peng Cheng's mansion!

King Peng Cheng will deal with this.

Yes!

Episode 28

Senior, quickly wake up.

Don't worry.

She'll wake up soon.

Hurry. Help her up.

Senior!

If Lu Yuan doesn't see her body,

he's not going to leave the matter at that.

Kong Cheng.

Later, burn the carriage

and all the corpses.

Don't leave any traces.

All right.

Take him.

You're dismissed.

-Yes. -Yes.

Who are you?

Why did you save me?

That doesn't matter.

What matters is that

there are many people who want you dead.

Even so, there's no reason

to take me

to a dead person's house.

Sorry to let you down.

General Shen is safe and sound.

What did you say?

A man who's guilty of such heinous crime

isn't dead yet!

That's not right.

I saw him being taken to the execution ground

with my own eyes.

Years of hatred

has left you at a loss.

How miserable.

Who are you?

Who are you to lecture me?

Your Highness.

You're not dead?

Xu Zixian.

You've made a grave mistake.

Are you still hell bent to go your own way?

Back then, because of you,

Shen Tingzhang

refused to open the gate.

All my brothers died tragically

at the hands of Wei Army.

I'll never forget

that scene.

You've mistaken it.

It was not me

that General Shen was desperately trying to save,

but the people of the entire city.

Because of your narrow mind,

all you saw

was General Shen abandonment.

But you forget he's also a general!

Back then, Wei Army had pushed all the way to the city.

There were rebel army among you.

How was he supposed to open the gate?

A general has his own vocation.

It is his bounden duty to guard the city,

and protect the people.

If you look at the bigger picture,

it's hard to be have it both ways.

Do you think he did it willingly?

He had no other choice

and that was the last resort.

Any soldiers

in Song

would make such a choice.

Even so, you should have let us

suffer the injustice!

Take a look.

General Shen

has been living in guilt too.

He didn't forget any of you.

Wang Song, Suiyuan Army

Wang Hua, Suiyuan Army

Xu Zixian, Suiyuan Army

After the incident,

General Shen went around

trying to appeal and reverse the verdict

to find out the truth about the rebels

and try every means

to make up to all the families.

You know nothing

about what he did.

You said

all of you are innocent.

Think about it.

You've been wronged.

You've suffered injustice.

But how many innocent people

have you hurt?

You have to stop

being so stubborn

and let yourself be driven by hatred.

You were once a soldier and a general.

You should understand.

Fight for the people, by the people

and stay loyal.

Clear the name of the innocence.

Also, before I came here,

your disciple told me repeatedly

not to hurt you.

You got yourself a good disciple.

He hopes that you'll repent and do the right thing.

Xu Zixian, Suiyuan Army

San Jiu Tang

How is it?

Why hasn't she woke up yet?

Could there be any danger?

Let's give it time.

Don't worry.

I'll look after her.

Fourth Brother, don't worry.

With him here,

Lige will surely be fine.

The most important thing right now is the Shen family.

Why don't we return to the mansion first?

I understand.

I'll come back soon.

Wait for me.

Zhi Jian Hall

Shen's case

has evoked strong emotions among the people.

Now, I'll hear the case

with all of you

to uphold justice.

Your Highness is wise.

Minister of Justice.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I would like to call a witness.

Send the witness in.

King Jing Ling.

Who is he?

Your Highness.

He's Xu Zixian.

He was once the general

of Suiyuan Army.

I'm Xu Zixian.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Xu Zixian?

Isn't he

one of those rebels back then?

Didn't he die in Peng Cheng?

It's him indeed.

Xu Zixian.

Who do you want to testify for?

I'll be testifying for General Shen Tingzhang.

Summon Shen Tingzhang to the court for trial.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Take a look.

Who is he?

Zixian?

I...

Greetings, General.

Why didn't you come to see me?

It was me...

who have let our brothers down.

General.

I've made a mistake.

Your Highness.

The assassination on the wedding night...

was all me.

It was me who set Consort Li up.

I intended to kill two birds with one stone

and put General Shen to death.

Zixian.

Your Highness.

Xu Zixian was the rebel.

He has no credibility.

If what he said was true

and that he wanted Shen Tingzhang dead,

his plan was working his way.

But why would he want

to come to the court

to shoot himself in the foot

and foil his own plan?

He was once under Shen Tingzhang,

of course he's going to defend for Shen Tingzhang.

The baby clothes that Central Protector Lu used to testify against Consort Li

came from me.

Your Highness.

If Central Protector Lu didn't believe me,

why would he use the baby clothes

that I gave him as the evidence

to point out that Consort Li

is the daughter of Shen Tingzhang?

Many years ago, I abducted Consort Li

who was just worn and still wrapped in her baby clothes

the take revenge over the Battle of Peng Cheng.

It was me

who was blinded by my hatred

and forget his duty as a general.

I was wrong about General Shen.

Zixian.

Say no more.

General Shen.

Give me a chance to atone for my crime.

This is poison used during the assassination.

I made it myself.

Minister of Justice, please examine it.

Your Highness.

General Shen is a trusted aide.

I tried to frame a good official

and made such a grave mistake.

What I did was unforgivable.

I shall make up for my sin

with my life!

General Shen, I was wrong.

Please forgive me.

Zixian.

I won't blame you for that.

As a general

I wasn't wrong.

But as your brother

I have let all of you down.

Xu Zixian

persecuted good and loyal men

and attempted to murder King Peng Cheng.

His crimes are punishable by death.

People!

Take him to the Ministry of Justice.

He'll be executed tomorrow at noon.

I have been blinded

by hatred all my life.

I was devoid of humanity

and ended up committing such an unforgivable crime.

It was me

who have failed the soldiers who died

and even harmed

those who once treated me like family.

I'm sorry.

My death

is nothing.

The truth has come to light come.

The Shen family

had to suffer such injustice.

General Shen, you've been through a lot.

Your Highness, please forgive me.

My daughter is dead.

My wife has lost her sanity.

I'm old now.

My heart is dead.

I seek for Your Highness's approval

to allow me to retire and return to my home.

Wei Army has mobilized their troops.

The war in the North is about to start.

Your Highness.

I've made up my mind.

There's no need to persuade me.

Your Highness.

If that's the case,

there's only one person

who can command the Suiyuan Army

and repel the Wei Army.

I was conferred the title as King Peng Cheng at 12.

I was made the General of the Right.

At the age of 14,

I was promoted to General of Guanjun

and became the Governor of Yu Province

and supervised the five states military.

Chief Secretariat.

Am I qualified for the position?

I'll lead the troops.

Central Protector Lu.

Any objection?

It's the will of the people.

All right.

I'll approve General Shen's request

to retire.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Central Protector Lu.

You'll join me in the expedition.

King Jing Ling will lead

the middle troops of Jian Kang.

Fourth...

Your Highness is wise!

May Your Highness returns in victory!

Fourth Brother.

When did you start to suspect

that the main culprit

was Consort Li's master?

Do you still remember

the night you sent me

to San Jiu Tang?

Consort Li's senior, Chen Shaoxun

administered the acupuncture treatment.

You were already awake then?

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

Lige begged me

to believe in you.

I don't want to let her down.

Lige?

Who was the one who ordered you

to assassinate me?

He's the only one

who can clear Lige and the Shen family's name.

Do you understand?

He made all you do this.

He has no intention to let you live.

Tell me.

It's the only way to save Lige.

I know.

But you have to promise me.

Don't ever hurt him.

Lige will not forgive you if you do.

All right.

He's our master, Xu Lin.

Where is he now?

Can you help me find him?

Consort Li's senior tracked down Xu Lin.

Unexpectedly, the military ceremony

delayed my plan

and aggravated my injury.

I ended up losing consciousness.

Lu Yuan took advantage of this

to put the Shen family in prison.

His plan was to prove

that I was injured

in front of the officials

and that the assassin was Consort Li.

The time when I was unconscious

was the best time

to save the Shen family.

By the time I regained consciousness,

it was all too late.

Your Highness!

Your Highness, you finally woke up!

Hurry. Help His Highness up.

Where's Lige?

Your Highness.

Just now, the Ministry of Justice

convicted the Shen family.

Consort Li and the Shen family

will be executed tomorrow.

Don't let the word gets out

that I've regained consciousness.

Send a letter to King Jing Ling.

Despite the fact that I've regained consciousness,

I can't forcefully

change the verdict.

And Xu Lin became the key

to explaining the dagger and the baby clothes.

But time...

Besides the Shen family,

the situation in the North is equally important.

We're on the brink of war.

So I sent Huo Yun and Wang Zijin

to rescue Shen Feng who was on the run

and let him return to the North to keep the army on an even keel

and prevent the invasion of the Wei army.

After that

I went to see Lige.

Fourth Brother.

You're awake.

How is it?

How's your wound?

It's fine now.

I thought

I would never see you again.

I gave you my word

that we would never be separated ever again.

I know

the reason I could wake up

is because you risked your life to find the gall of tiger

and even fought

for the last bit of the antidote.

You saved my life.

I have wronged you.

As long as you can wake up...

my death is nothing.

Don't say such a thing.

I won't let you die.

You have to spend the rest of your life with me.

I have ordered people

to hunt down Xu Lin.

We have tracked him down.

As long as we get him,

it will clear all things up.

Really?

But

my master has been holding grudges for a long time.

It's not that easy to capture him.

It would be even harder

to persuade him to help clear the Shen family's name

Don't worry.

Your master is blinded by his grudges.

There's still some wiggle room.

I'll meet him

and explained the incident back then.

I can surely save you and the Shen family.

But the execution will be carried out tomorrow.

I need to find a way to delay it.

Fourth Brother.

I can buy us time.

Tomorrow,

if I suddenly died of poisoning

at the execution ground

that will raise doubts about the case

and delay the retrial of the case.

After that, you'll hear the case.

Perhaps, there's still a slim chance of survival

for the Shen family.

What do you plan to do?

Will it be dangerous?

Don't worry.

The drug from my senior

is definitely safe.

What kind of drug?

Fourth Brother.

I believe in you so much.

You should believe in me as well.

All right.

I believe in you.

Then, I sent Wang Zijin

to deliver the drug to Lige.

After that,

Xu Zhan brought Xu Lin to Shen's mansion.

So I convinced Xu Lin

and explained to him

on General Shen's situation back then.

Fourth Brother.

You sure have turned the tide.

Not only did he find out the truth

about the villain’s conspiracy

but also saved the Shen family.

The poison in your body has completely been cleared.

Most importantly,

you found a soulmate like Consort Li

who would risk her life for you.

I've got

to hand it to you.

As for you

there's no rush.

One day,

you will find

the one you like.

I should really thank you though,

it's been hard on you.

We're brothers,

no thanks necessary.

I heard that Consort Li died of poisoning

before the execution

and that Central Protector Lu was behind it.

Really?

It was Central Protector Lu?

What were you talking about? Poison?

Central Protector Lu was behind it?

Who knows?

I've only heard from the middle troops

who came back from the execution ground.

They said it was scary.

That's not possible.

It should have caused

quite a stir in the mansion.

She was already on a death row,

dying of poisoning doesn't change the fact.

All right. Let's go.

Why would Central Protect Lu

poisoned her before the execution?

Shen Lige.

Were you trying to use your death

to buy time

and help the Shen family get away?

But...

are you really dead?

San Jiu Tang

Lige.

The Shen family has been exonerated.

It's all thanks to you

for buying us time.

Lige.

Sorry to put you through this.

Lige?

Consort Li.

Lige?

Lige?

Why aren't you talking?

I'm Fourth Brother.

What's going on?

Lige said it's all safe

with you around!

He has administered the acupuncture treatment

and given her the medicine.

But...

But things got held up.

Things got held up?

The drug will send her into a death-like state.

The antidote and acupuncture treatment

must be done within a hour.

Lu Yuan was after us

on our way there

and things got held up.

Him again?

What will happen to her?

I'm not so sure.

Supposedly,

the poison in the body

has been cleared up.

Or she might be hurt

internally.

Or she doesn't have the will

to wake up.

Not willing to wake up?

Ever since the wedding,

she was hit real hard.

She didn't have time

to sort out her emotions.

With the help of the effect of the drug,

she repelled the outside world.

Is there a cure?

Don't worry.

I will do my best

to help her recover.

You may go out first.

Silly girl.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here for you.

I'll not let anyone

hurt you ever again.

Quickly wake up.

All right?

Greetings, Aunt.

Don't call me that!

You've been devising the plan for so long.

Yet, you still suffered a crushing defeat.

Didn't you say it was a foolproof plan?

You caused such a great stir.

Not only King Peng Cheng is safe and well,

only Consort Li

of the Shen family is dead!

You've been working on it for so long.

You lost the Ministry of War.

You were stripped of military power of the middle troops!

What's the point of having you?

Aunt, calm down.

I messed up

this time.

But right now

we still have a chance.

Chance?

Who has ever given me a chance?

If I screw up

any of the things I did for you

I might end up be executed for it!

What have you done for me?

Now, King Peng Cheng is leading the troops into battle.

If he returns in victory,

he'll surely gain the support

of the people and the officials.

If that happens, we'll not stand a chance anymore.

As for you

you might even

lose your life.

I'm not going to trust you anymore.

Aunt.

Aunt!

Hear met out.

King Peng Cheng will lead the troops into battle.

He doesn't feel safe leaving me in Jian Kang.

Who knows if he wouldn't be in a greater danger

with me by his side?

You're still hoping?

The North is the territory of Suiyuan Army!

You're unarmed and defenceless!

But the situation on the battle is beyond control!

This is our best chance.

His Majesty has been relying

on King Peng Cheng for so many years.

If we can get rid of King Peng Cheng,

everything else

will be under our control.

This time

I'm not going

to fail again.

King Peng Cheng is here!

Greetings, Your Highness,

Rise.

Your Highness is busy preparing for the expedition.

I didn't want to disturb.

Your Highness has to waste time to come here instead.

It's my fault.

I heard

that you took care of me day and night.

It's been tough on you.

It's what I do.

It's no big deal.

The lost of appetite for worrying about Your Highness

has made Her Highness to lose so much weight.

Her Highness was drawing for Your Highness earlier.

Really?

Don't spew nonsense.

Hurry and serve the tea.

Yes.

I was just randomly drawing it.

It's not done yet.

I hope Your Highness wouldn't find it unpleasant.

It express the spirit through form.

It's remarkably true to life.

You sure are good at it.

You're flattering me, Your Highness.

It would be good enough

if I could present even just a little

of Your Highness's bravery.

How about that?

A tiny little arrow

changes the overall effect of the painting.

Nice one, Your Highness.

You have been doing your best all this time.

I know it deep down.

With me gone to the battle,

perhaps, I'll only return pass the winter.

I'll leave the mansion and Royal Mother

under your care.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I'll not let you down.

I'll pray for Your Highness's safety

every day.

Your Highnesses.

The refreshment is ready.

In regards to Consort Li...

I would like

to be honest with Your Highness.

Go on.

If I had insisted to wait

until Your Highness regained consciousness

before handing Consort Li to the Ministry of Justice

things would have ended up differently.

But it's too late now.

All the evidence at that time

pointed to Consort Li.

There was nothing you could have done.

You were only doing your job.

Consort Li was a kind-hearted person.

I don't believe

she would do such a thing.

So

I asked her in private.

What did she say?

She came clean about the assassination

and expressed her respect for Your Highness.

I knew she must had her difficulties

in all this.

But the law has no compassion.

Now that the truth has come to light

Consort Li was actually innocent.

All these

are giving me with mixed feelings.

Consort Li was a person with strong sense of righteousness.

She was a brave person.

I have a great admiration for her.

But it's a shame.

She's gone too soon.

Both of you are women of characters.

Consort Li confessed to you

out of her trust

for you.

I'm very pleased that both of you

could treat each other as such.

All I hope

is that no matter where her soul is,

she can be happy and unrestrained.

That's right.

I hope she can be free

and unrestrained too.

On the second of this month,

a small group of Wei Army

marched along the north bank of the Yellow River.

They are stationed

at Bijia Mountain on the north bank.

Their main purpose

is to find out the situation

around the harbor.

On the 7th of the month,

another group of Wei Army

headed south.

They crossed the river

and closed in on the harbor.

But they pulled back

after scouting the place.

They didn't cause a stir

this time.

But they used crafty stratagems.

Our men tried to track them down several times

but they managed to shake off their tails.

Crafty stratagems.

Extraordinary military strategy.

He must be our opponent.

This is a tough battle.

San Bao.

Yes.

Promote

Li Chengxun as General Who Spreads Might.

Bestow with the vanguard seal.

Tan Hui will lead the Cavalry of the Left.

Wang Lun will lead the Cavalry of the Right.

Both troops will reinforce Li Chengxun.

All army to get ready.

We'll strike two days later!

Huo Yun.

Yes.

While I'm not in Jian Kang,

you have to assist King Jing Ling.

Follow the instructions of King Jing Ling.

Yes, Your Highness.

I won't let Your Highness down.

All right.

All of you are dismissed.

Yes.

San Bao.

How's the preparation coming along?

It's all ready.

Fourth Brother.

About Consort Li...

If only I could hold Lu Yuan

for a little longer.

Even just a little longer

I...

Lige’s current symptoms

are not treatable with medicine.

It's all on her now.

I believe

Lige will surely wake up.

But

I'll be away soon.

I just want to spend these two days

with her.

Greetings, Your Highness.

What is it?

Great Consort Sun is concerned about Your Highness's health

and ordered me to bring you the ginger soup.

That's very thoughtful of her.

Xiao Xi.

Forgive me.

Is this handkerchief yours?

Your Highness.

This handkerchief

was a gift from Your Highness.

Have we met in Shen's mansion?

I'm Shen Leqing.

You're Consort Li's sister?

Your Highness.

No matter the misunderstandings we had

the predicament that the Shen family got into

made me feel really upset.

I'm deeply saddened

by the news of my sister's passing.

At this point

I just hope

I can do a thing or two

to help with my sister's funeral arrangement.

That will be enough for me.

I hope Your Highness will approve that.

I've sent people to arrange the funeral arrangement for her.

Don't worry about it.
