Say it! What is the truth?

It is indeed Imperial Secretariat

colluded with the second young lady of the Shen family,

Shen Leqing,

and used her

to get Mrs Shen's handwriting.

So they could forge Mrs Shen's handwrting to write a letter

to lure Shen Tingzhang and Shen Zhi

to Weiyang Lake

And me

had already set up a trap

at Weiyang Lake

to kill Shen Tingzhang and Shen Zhi.

Shut up.

Back then, you kept saying that

you wanted to seek revenge for the death of Central Protector.

But now, how did she

trick you?

You can even say something like this here.

I really regret that

I didn't kill you back then.

You treacherous villains

worked hand in glove to commit crimes.

Actually, I still haven't found

Lu Yuan's younger sister.

You lied to me.

Shen Lige.

Your Highness,

Xue Qiu has confessed to his crime.

We have solid evidence now.

Your Highness, please make a decision.

Xie Hao,

you murdered courtiers

and conspired with the evil and caused chaos.

Every single crime you committed,

according to law,

you definitely deserve death sentence.

The operation of the country

isn't set in stone.

The needs of the Song and the people

won't be ignored because

of your complacence.

A poor but ambitious man can't be an official,

while the gentry owns non-taxable

arable land.

The Song of Glory

Anyway, how many people have no land to cultivate

as well as homeless.

The initiator of all this

Episode 48

is you scum.

Gu Weiyuan, Liu Lin,

Wang Meng and others

conspired to cause chaos.

Imprison them immediately

and execute tomorrow.

Yes.

The Imperial Secretariat, Xie Hao,

murdered courtiers,

ganged up for selfish purposes,

abused power in imperial court.

Heinous yet unforgivable indeed.

To ensure everyone has the correct understanding towards the court,

he'll be imprisoned today and the day of execution will be decided later.

Since Xie who's from the Shixing County,

reported offense to the authority,

his family will be spared from being extermination.

Sinner, Xue Qiu,

in order to achieve selfish desire,

he even killed the courtiers.

Execution will be carried out immediately.

How did you use

Lu Yuan's sister to deceive Xue Qiu?

Why didn't I know about it?

I asked my brother

to look for clues.

Finally, he found that

Xue Qiu sent Lu Yuan's younger sister

to a household.

I've saved him.

Thank you, senior.

Don't waste time.

You won't get anything you want

from me.

I know all you have is only your life now.

Even your death isn't to be regretted.

But your young lady...

Major Xue.

These are the clothes and money you want.

This is all I can do.

You...

Major Xue.

I have no choice.

Please forgive me.

Please forgive me.

What have you done to young lady?

If you dare to hurt her,

I will never let you go even I become a ghost!

A sister of a rebel

keeps fleeing.

If she's caught,

what do you think of her ending?

Shen Lige!

I know your Central Protector

loves her sister very much.

When we found the clues,

Lu Yuan's sister's gone.

We don't know her whereabouts.

Anyway, just forget it.

A little girl

has lost her family.

I feel pity for her.

Zhijian Hall

"Zhijian",

Know the suffering of the people,

rule the country with wiseness.

When you were young,

you're asked to write these two words every day.

Are you thinking of Grand Tutor?

I'll never forget

teacher's teaching in life.

Yes.

Imperial court is a place of fame and fortune.

It's full of selfish desire.

If you aren't sincere and loyal,

as well as always admonish oneself,

you'll get lost easily...

and become someone like Xie Hao.

Fortunately, you have always guarded your heart

and took a big step forward

to the right path for political evolution.

Those loyal courtiers who're sacrificed

will be comforted

in the heaven.

Grand Tutor,

father,

eldest brother,

you may rest in peace now.

In loving memory of Father, Shen Tingzhang

In loving memory of Brother, Shen Zhi

In loving memory of Father, Shen Tingzhang In loving memory of Brother, Shen Zhi

Greetings, King Peng Cheng.

Please rise.

Mother.

You are Lige's mother

means you're also my mother.

You can call me Kang from now on.

But...

This isn't appropriate.

What's inappropriate?

Lige and I got married.

We are family.

Mother is the elder.

Lige and I

will take good care of you for sure.

Kang.

Father and eldest brother fought for the sake of Song in their whole life.

But they're killed by the evil.

This is all my responsibility.

I failed to protect them.

Mother, please don't blame me.

They are the courtiers of Song.

They have their responsibilities and obligations.

As their family,

we're not afraid of these

responsibilities and obligations too.

I truly admire

mother's righteousness.

All right. It's almost noon.

Just stay for lunch together.

Only lunch?

Won't you allow me to stay till dinner?

Of course not.

If you come every day,

I'll make you stay for each meal every day.

All right.

I won't do anything today then,

except accompany mother.

All right.

I'll prepare food for you now.

Thank you.

Come with me.

Look what I have prepared for you.

Sit down first.

Your wound just healed.

Be careful and don't make it open again.

It's okay.

Look,

what I have prepared for you.

Yu Ni House

Red Jewel Box?

Where did you get it?

Sister-in-law said this

can be only found in the palace.

It is.

I've put a lot of effort

to beg the craftsman of Yu Ni House

to make you this.

The Flying Water Technique

is so magical.

Look at your face.

It's more hydrated than when you first came.

Yu Ni House

If you keep using it,

you'll be more beautiful.

The most important is you like it.

Yes, I like.

What's the smell in this yard?

So sweet.

Fourth Brother, have you smelled it?

Yes, it's very sweet.

When did you come?

Why are you looking at us?

Look at your face.

It's more hydrated since you first come.

The most important is you like it.

Yes, I like.

No.

Sister.

Why do you eavesdrop

on us?

Who eavesdrop on you?

We don't want to

eavesdrop on you.

But I just don't know that

it's a coincidence for us to

hear lover's prattle

in broad daylight.

Did something that

we don't know happen?

Yes.

All right.

You guys,

please stop making fun of they both.

Yes.

Sister-in-law.

Your Highness.

Since coming back from Jingzhou,

they both keep showing affection to each other.

Stop showing affection.

Marry her if you like her.

It's good to liven up the Shen family.

Marry her?

I...

I haven't think it through yet.

Why do you want to think?

Why do you want to think?

Let me tell you.

In this life, if you don't marry me,

don't you ever think to marry another woman.

Pack your things now

and follow me back to Pangu.

What does it mean by follow you back to Pangu?

I'm going to marry you.

It's not that I'll be married to you.

I am the leader of Pangu.

I can't leave Pangu.

If you want to marry me,

you need to go back to Pangu with me.

I don't want.

Are you coming with me?

No.

Yes or no?

No.

You must go.

I won't.

-You must go! -Stop.

Feng,

you are General Anbei now...

and you need to guard the north.

Isn't Pangu also in the north?

I think

it's okay for you to move to Pangu.

No.

Your Highness.

Your Highness is right.

No.

Look.

You have to help me, sister-in-law.

Come, Kang.

Come and have this.

I'm good at

preparing this dish.

It's so tasty.

-Right? -It's delicious.

And this. This is

Lige's favourite dish.

I love what Lige loves.

Good.

Eat more then.

I have it already.

Eat more.

Enough, mother.

Eat more.

Eat more, come.

Eat more if it is delicious.

Mother's really good at cooking.

I'm reluctant to leave.

Come over more often then.

Every time you come,

I will prepare nice food for you.

Mother.

Look.

You forget your daughter once you have a new son.

I'll give you all then.

No need. There's more here.

Come, Lige.

I know you love this most.

Mother, I want too. Mother, I want too.

Madam.

Just call mother.

Come, eat more.

Thank you.

Eat more, come.

Zijin.

I'll take it myself, mother.

Eat more.

Eat more.

Fourth Brother,

have a cup of tea.

I'm stuffed.

Fourth Brother, thank you.

It's been a long time

since my mother be so happy.

It's good that mother is happy.

Familial love is the simplest

and purest love in the word.

We must cherish it

since we still have it.

Father and eldest brother are gone.

We have to take good care of mother in the future.

Moreover,

it is better to teach by being an example.

In the future, when our children

see what we do,

they will also be filial to us.

Who said I'm going to have a baby?

Didn't you promise that

you're going to give me a bunch of children?

I think you're really stuffed.

If I'm not stuffed,

how can I hold you up?

Put me down.

Put me down now.

Put me down.

After verifying,

civil unrest that took place in Jingzhou,

Chen Commandery, Pengcheng and other places

were deliberately concocted by Xie Hao,

who intended to obstruct the implementation of new policy.

The truth is finally revealed now.

Chaos everywhere is gradually under control.

So here's the order.

Make each pilot area as the center...

and continue to implement the new policy

at the surrounding areas.

Organise household registration,

and implement residence determination policy.

Recruitment of government official will be opened at all regions at the same time.

Regardless of family background,

those who have passed the test,

can be selected as a government official.

Yes, Your Highness.

Fang Qing.

Since drafting of the new policy

until the trial at all regions turned out to be a success,

for this, I'd like to promote Chief Secretariat,

Wang Wei, Li An, Lin Yang,

as Vice Minister of Secretariat.

Thank you, King Peng Cheng.

We will not let you down.

I am willing to join hands with all of you

to implement the new policy for the sake of the nation and the people.

Implement the new policy for the sake of the nation and the people.

Sister.

Sixth Brother.

Sixth Brother.

What happened?

I'm here to receive punishment.

What's the matter?

Central Protector Huo was assassinated in Jingzhou.

Who would

assassinate Huo Yun in Jingzhou?

Being able to sneak into the barracks of Military Protector

and assassinate Central Protector Huo,

that person must be an expert.

It must not be done by the magistrate.

But Sixth Brother,

there's no evidence found.

Who wants to

assassinate Brother Huo Yun?

What is his purpose?

Six Brother,

you must be tired from the long journey.

Go and rest first.

By the way, Fourth Brother,

When I was in Jingzhou,

I asked some people to share their opinion

about the new policy.

Fourth Brother, please take a look.

It might be useful.

Sixth Brother, you're so thoughtful.

This is the most direct voice of the people.

It's surely useful for us in the formulation and implementation

of the new policy.

Well...

I shall take my leave now.

Brother Huo is a good man.

When we're investigating the case of private foundry,

he strived to save the folks

and finally became Central Protector.

How could such a good man die?

Come.

Xiao Xin.

Your Highness, Concubine Li.

Your Highness, Concubine Li.

In the dry well at the backyard

of the palace,

Hong Dan's body was found there.

She was killed.

How is this possible?

Didn't Hong Dan say that

there's something happened in her family

and she needs to go back for a few days?

Why did she...

What's wrong with today?

When did Hong Dan leave?

After General Shen was killed,

and Concubine Li returned home, she went out.

Xu Zhan.

Inquire about it carefully

to confirm if Hong Dan has really been out of the mansion.

Yes.

Sanbao,

go search Hong Dan's room.

Yes.

Go now.

Madam,

this peony flower cake recipe...

was came up with myself.

What do you think?

What a pity.

It's too sweet.

The taste is just right.

Madam.

I mean it's a pity that Xuan isn't around.

Otherwise, he will surely compliment

you're so handiness.

Madam.

Isn't it?

You picked...

How many?

Five, right?

You picked five peonies

to make so many cakes.

The three of us can't finish them.

You made them for Xuan, don't you?

All right.

Come.

A few days ago,

Xuan set off to Jian Kang City.

After counting it,

it's been a while.

How about this?

You

send some cakes to Xuan.

Just take it as

visting him on my behalf.

Madam, I...

Why? You don't want to go?

No.

Come.

Since you are in plain clothes,

it's just right to match with this jade bangle,

right?

But this one is too expensive.

I can't take it.

Miss Wan.

Just take it.

This was given by Emperor Gaozu

to Madam Sun.

Then, I can't...

Take it.

Emperor Gaozu

gave me this

when we first met.

Then, I entered the palace.

Now, I'm old.

I have no chance to wear it.

It's better to give it to you.

Now,

as long as Xuan is happy,

I'm contented.

Last night, Madam

kept calling the two princes'

name.

Really?

It's all your fault.

You talk things about my birthday

everyday with me.

In previous years, Kang and Xuan

will accompany me during my birthday.

This year...

Let's not talk about this.

Wan,

you may depart after packing.

There is a letter.

Your Highness, Concubine Li,

Hong Dan has never been out of the mansion.

Sister, I'm sorry. I'm so ashamed to face you.

I doubt that

Hong Dan's related to the loss of my jade pendant.

Protector Xu, I'm sorry.

I didn't do it on purpose.

It's okay.

I'll take you to change your clothes.

Let's go.

Hong Dan turned out to be this kind of person.

No wonder she was so diligent

to help Xu Zhan wash clothes.

She had other intentions.

I don't allow you to say about Hong Dan in this way.

Perhaps it's not Hong Dan's doing.

But the facts are just before us.

Otherwise, what did she do wrong

and was ashamed to face Concubine Li?

Otherwise, how would she be killed

in the mansion?

That must be a murder to prevent divulgence of one's secret.

How could Hong Dan be such a person?

We're sisters.

Sister,

please don't blame Hong Dan.

She must have unspeakable reason.

All right.

It's okay.

Don't worry.

I don't blame her.

I knew you would come.

I'm here to see self-proclaimed example of the noble and unsullied,

the leader of the gentry as well as the Imperial Secretariat's

condition in prison.

You're coming to laugh at me, don't you?

The people deserted you,

and you went against wishes of the people.

Of course you're defeated.

I did it to

preserve the orthodoxy of Song.

I did it for their sake.

What do they know?

My dad and eldest brother fought in the battle by covered with blood.

All the soldiers in the North

use their whole body of war wounds

in exchange for the peaceful days

of the people of Song.

For you, in order to preserve orthodoxy,

you didn't hesitate to kill those loyal and righteous officials.

You did it merely for

your selfish desire.

Someone like you

has no rights to mention about orthodoxy.

And your biological grandfather,

Grandfather.

Master Xie, as the

chief of clan,

why could he punish his own relation in the cause of justice?

Because you have gone against wishes of the people,

and deviated from the right path.

In the wrong path that you've chosen,

your heart of evil which has been engulfed

by your selfish desire

already disappointed him.

He doesn't have

unscrupulous offspring like you.

The Xie family has never had

a rebel like you.

In Master Xie's last words,

he has cleared you out

from the Xie family.

At the end,

what do you get?

You're being cast aside by thousands of people.

This is impossible.

Impossible.

Absolutely impossible.

Grandfather.

Grandfather wouldn't do this.

Everything I did

was for the sake of Xie.

You killed Master Xie

for the sake of Xie too?

How many people have died at your hands?

Including Brother Huo Yun.

Say it.

What is your purpose of killing him?

I didn't kill him.

How would I kill grandfather?

I didn't kill him.

I really didn't kill him.

Huo Yun is dead?

Why did he die?

I didn't kill grandfather.

How would you die?

What happened?

I've planned everything meticulously for such a long time for him,

it was still a complete failure.

He's really an idiot.

Fortunately, I still have you.

Will the fish swallow the bait?

It depends on you now.

Miss, please enjoy it.

Please wait here.

Hua An Tang

Your Highness, Miss Wan is here.

Okay.

Wan.

Your Highness.

Greetings, Your Highess.

Why did you come?

Madam asked me to send something

to Your Highness.

This is...

Madam gave me this.

I...

It seems that mother really likes you.

Try this.

Not bad.

You cooking skill is getting better.

It's a relieve that Your Highness like it.

Wan, actually I...

Your Highness,

I just hope you can be happy.

As long as I can stay by Madam's side

and take good care of Madam on Your Highness's behalf,

I can return your kindness

as you're my lifesaver.

I'm contented enough by doing so.

That's good then.

Anyway,

Madam's birthday is around the corner.

I know.

I've already prepared

her birthday gift.

Is it possible for Your Highness

to invite King Peng Cheng along?

Fourth Brother?

Fourth Brother has just returned to Jian Kang City.

He is busy with the implementation of new policy.

Madam misses King Peng Cheng very much.

Chun Fang said...

Madam was calling

King Peng Cheng

and Your Highness's name

in her dream last night.

Perhaps

Madam's birthday is coming

and she thought of the past

and felt sorry.

Have some tea.

Shall I let Ji Shu to send you off?

It's fine.

Your Highness has just returned to Jian Kang City.

Your Highness must be busy.

Please don't bother about it.

You are too kind.

King Jing Ling's mansion

Your Highness, please just see me off here.

All right.

Have a safe journey.

Let's go.

Go to San Jiu Tang.

Your Highness,

you're a good man.

Is my eldest brother's death

really related to you?

San Jiu Tang

Go and tell madam that

my heart disease relapses.

I'll stay in Jian Kang City for a few days.

When I feel better,

I'll return to the imperial mausoleum immediately.

Please tell her not to worry.

Yes.

San Jiu Tang

Remember to take medicine on time.

All right.

Thank you, doctor.

No worries.

Miss Wan.

Brother Xun.

What happened to you?

San Jiu Tang

Wan.

Why are you up?

Lie down.

I feel better now.

Sorry for troubling Brother Chen again.

I am a healer.

It's my duty to help those who're in need.

I don't find it troubling.

I made some food.

Take medicine after having some food.

Although your illness

is innate

and it can't be completely cured,

if you take good care of yourself,

dangerous condition

like today won't occur.

I've told you long ago.

You emotion stability

directly affects the recurrence

of your heart disease.

Here is some porridge.

Eat it while it's hot.

I'll go and see

if the medicine is ready.

Brother Chen.

Brother Chen, are you mad at me?

I left Jian Kang City

because I didn't want to bring you trouble.

My brother and I grew up together

and we have been depending on each other for life.

Anyway, I didn't expect

my brother would get killed

when he went to sell goods at Shudi

and left a huge debt for me.

I wanted to seek help from my distant relative.

But without my brother's protection,

I have nowhere to go.

So I can only hide myself everywhere.

You

shall recuperate first.

Just stay here

and recuperate.

Don't go anywhere.

I'll see if the medicine is ready.

King Peng Cheng's mansion

King Peng Cheng's mansion

Fourth Brother.

Six Brother.

Come.

Come and look at these.

These strategy of governance are all written by

talents from everywhere, who came to the

selection of government official.

There are indeed many words

that enlighten me.

They all come from the folk.

So, they know

what the people think very well.

Let's find some talents

who're of of good behaviour

and have a good knowledge of governance among them.

They will definitely be able to contribute to Song

and serve the people well.

Now, Xie Hao and others have been wiped out.

The imperial court has been cleaned up.

In this civil unrest,

we got rid of

a large number of corrupt officials

and it serves as a warning to others.

Fourth Brother,

your new policy

can finally be implemented.

The new policy

belongs to Song

and the people.

All of us have put in efforts.

Of course, you're one of us too.

His Majesty has handed the command power

of middle troops to you.

His Majesty...

His Majesty I are most assured to hand

the command power of middle troops to you.

You're full of ambitions.

Please don't decline any more.

I'll never let you down.

Fourth Brother, there's one more thing.

What is it?

Mother's birthday is coming.

We celebrated it with her in the previous years.

I think

I should go to the imperial mausoleum

to visit mother.

Thank you, Fourth Brother.

Mother will be very happy for sure.

Fourth Brother, I'll get going now then.

King Jing Ling.

Concubine Li.

Fourth Brother.

The emperor has issued an edict to King Jing Ling.

The emperor has handed the command power of middle troops

to Sixth Brother.

But the emperor ignored the political affairs for many years,

why did His Majesty suddenly take such an action?

I went to visit the emperor at the palace last night...

and we talked about recent events.

The emperor thinks that

Sixth Brother is also a sincere person.

His Majesty is rest assured to hand the middle troops to him.

That's why His Majesty made such a decision.

But His Majesty doesn't have to issue an edict himself, right?

Perhaps His Majesty is happy.

Sister.

Sister.

These are...

These

calligraphy and painting are all from Xie's Mansion.

His Highness said

sister is the one who appreciates calligraphy and painting the most.

So it's the best to let you

take care of them.

Yu Chan.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, sister.

This was drawn by grandfather

when he taught my brother and I

about painting.

Pine branches are lofty and unyielding.

Cypress tree is solemn and majestic.

It's evergreen

and could endure the harsh winter.

It's not about painting,

but also about the principle of being a minister.

After that, brother

always liked to paint pine and cypress trees.

He said that he wanted to remind himself

not to forget his true intention

with the unyielding pine and cypress.

Now, it's a pity that

everything is ruined.

I have been thinking about it.

Why does desire for power

can make a person change so much?

For living,

we need only clothes, food and a place to stay.

Power is also responsibility.

But if power

makes someone have more desire,

make someone's heart become more complicated,

as well as

becomes a tool to achieve selfish desire,

eventually,

it will lead a person to the way of darkness.

Will you blame me?

It's my brother

killed your father and eldest brother.

You're an insightful person.

You won't cover for your family's crime for the sake of justice.

I truly admire you.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Open the door.

You may leave now.

Yes.

Brother,

King Peng Cheng is kind and lenient.

Although you committed a serious crime

the Xie family doesn't get punished.

Sister-in-law said

she has taken the children

back to Chen Commandery.

She will raise the children well

and make sure they're well-educated and be a model of propriety

Anyway, in this life,

they will never step into Jian Kang City,

and also the imperial court.

Even be a teacher,

as long as they work hard

and have a pure mind,

they won't bring shame on the Xie family

and won't let grandfather's teaching

be in vain.

Mother.

Father won't come with us?

Grandfather,

your unfilial grandson

make your teachings in vain

and commit evil deeds.

I made the people endures great suffering,

I've brought shame on the Xie family.

A sense of regret is wrecking my heart like hundreds of poisons.

I know I'm sinful.

My crime deserves more than death.

If I could meet you afterlife,

please do

punish me in person.

In the next life,

I'll obey you in everything

to atone for my sins in this life.

It's too late

to regret now.

Physician Xu said that

even if this medicine is bitter,

it can nourish the qi, strengthen spleen,

replenish blood,

and strengthen the body.

Sister, if you want to have a baby sooner,

you must take it on time

for two times in a day.

Not only that,

you need to drink it with His Highness.

I think I am in good health.

I don't have to take this medicine.

It's different.

Physician Xu said it's good for you.

Come and drink it quickly.

Drink it.

All right.

What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?

Nothing.

I'm good.

Why do you need to take medicine then?

What happened?

This is the medicine to get pregnant.

What?

Don't talk nonsense.

I'm not talking nonsense.

This is the medicine to get pregnant.

Why?

You have decided

to stay in the house,

stop fighting and killing,

and want to wash clothes and cook nice food for me?
