Okay

My bad

I made you sad

Awu

It's said that your mother hasn't come back to Prime Minister's Mansion yet

Yes

Mother said

She will never ever forgive my father

And she's also said that

she is the daughter of royal family

and sister of the Emperor

And what about you, Awu?

I am daughter of my mother and

wife of Xiao Qi

You have

a really good husband

In my life time,

the wrongest thing that I did

was to speculate on him

Otherwise,

I won't be in such a mess now

Awu

I want you to

promise me one thing

Can you do it?

I will do whatever I can

Keep in mind

I left a death will

Your Highness

Empress wants to see you

I see

Your Highness

This is the tranquilizing decoction prescribed by the imperial physician

Is it a disease that I can't fall asleep?

No

It's the ghost that haunts me

I don't need it. Take it away

Your Majesty

Princess Yuzhang arrives

Report to you, Lord Yuzhang

Princess just now went to see the Empress

Please wait for a while

Aunt

Awu

Tea for Princess Yuzhang

Okay

Come on

Site here

Come on

Aunt

What am I called here for?

You came from the emperor

Did he

ever say anything to you?

My uncle Emperor

didn't say much

He just made a painting as

my birthday present

How fast days pass away!

It's getting to your birthday again

I will prepare you a big present for your birthday

Thank you, Aunt

Don't make me feel being treated as a stranger

It's a present for my affection

I'd like to tell you something

Even if there's

such affection between us

Aunt, please

The Emperor wanted Zitan to

take the place of the crown prince

What do you

think of it?

What do you mean, Aunt?

I am only Princess Yuzhang

How could I interfere in the affairs of the state?

You are resourceful

In collaboration with the Emperor,

you broke the conspiracy that Zilv had plotted for years

Brothers commit fratricide

to each other

It was Zilv who usurped the throne this time,

while

it may be Zitan for the next time

In that year

in order to save Zitan,

you'd rather marry Lord Yuzhang who was just a rash man

On that day,

Zitan's risking his life to save you from the sword

It really shocked me

Aunt knows best about

the feelings between me and Zitan

I still remember that

how you persuaded me to end that relationship

Now

I become wife of Xiao Qi

I and him

have good talks, drink wine

and grow old together

While,

with musical instruments played

it's still good

But we should have put down the feelings of our childhood

What are you talking about?

What I said

Aunt,

maybe you understand

Don't worry, aunt

Zitan that I know

is not a politician

but a scholar

A Confucian scholar

Even if Zitan has no intention to be the emperor

the emperor intended to do it

In my eyes

the present emperor uncle

is just an old man in his twilight

Now the result is certain.

The Wang family controls the imperial power

Aunt, what are you still doubting?

Awu

Aunt,

I just want to hear a word from you

Aunt,

What Awu should say,

I've already told you

Lord

Mrs. Dou was found

Where?

In the capital

Take me there

Okay

Tell princess that

I have urgent thing to handle

Tell her to go home by herself

Okay

Please have tea, Your Highness

My husband is still waiting outside the palace

I have to go

Lord

It's late

Who is it?

Your Highness

The Lord left hurriedly for official business

he'll be back late tonight

Greetings to Your Highness

No one can come in

Okay

What are you doing here?

I have served you for so many years

Why?

In the end,

You don't even want to see me?

You and your ambitious brother

got me into this situation

I will see

In the future, after you pass away

How will you meet your ancestors?

Today, I come here

Just ask you for one thing

What do you want?

Testamentary edict

Zi Lv asked me for an testamentary edict

You also asked me for an testamentary edict

I'm still alive

But you are one by one,

Wish I die

I tell you the truth

Testamentary edict

I have been prepared long time ago

But unless I die,

or you won't see it

Now, you are

still thinking about changing the prince?

Who is the lord of the world?

I have the final say

The Emperor has forgotten your situation

The lord of the world?

Maybe you were

But the present emperor

only left a breath all day along

Just like that

carved dragon on the wall,

making threatening gestures

But it's just a decoration

Over these years

My children died

all thanks to you

My loved princess

was also killed in your hands

It's all your fault

If you still want to pass the throne to Zitan

That is to put him in a blind alley

What the hell do you want?

Simple

In front of me,

burn the testamentary edict

Then let the world know

from now on

Let the throne to Zilong

You will be the retired emperor

The testamentary edict

is right here

I lack of strength

Empress can take it by yourself

You may have a look

Whether it is the answer you want

I will help you now

Help you now

Open the door quickly

Palace made an urgent call

Prime Minister was called to enter the palace

Lord

Lord

Report to you, Lord

Someone from the palace asked for you

It's so late

Something must have happened

Lord Yuzhang

At four o 'clock tonight

The emperor passed away

Now

The prime minister has led the imperial guards into the palace

Okay

I get it

Awu

I left a death will

It's right there on the plaque in this royal study

After I die

open it

Imperial physician said

uncle could at least get through this winter

But only in one day

He suddenly died

I have no time to grieve

Because I know

in the palace tonight

There will be a fight to the death

But on the two ends of the sword,

They are the people I love most

Your Highness

Your Highness

Your Highness

Your Highness

Axu

Your Highness

Your Highness

Are you awaken up?

Your Highness

Why there is so much noise this night?

Aunt princess

It's the master

Aunt princess

Master

Your Highness

A messenger comes from the Palace

Reply to Your Majesty

It has been arranged as you ordered

If this happens,

there will be innumerable fortunes and fame

And a good future

Don't let me down

Your Majesty, don't worry

I will do best as I can

I won't fail to accomplish your order

Lord Yuzhang

The emperor passed away

His body is still warm and not covered

At the death of his father, the crown prince is innumerable grief

The prime minister is comforting him in the East Palace

I do not know why does Lord Yuzhang

want to break into the East Palace at this time?

Do you want to rebel?

Lord Yuzhang

Don't go any further

If you go forward again,

I'll be rude to you

I

Xiao Qi, Lord Yuzhang

According to His Royal Highness's order

To guard the East Palace

Your Highness

Are you safe?

Lord Yuzhang

If you go further

we will really be rude

Please do not worry, Lord Yuzhang

The crown princess and I are both in the palace

Guarded by the prime minister

We are safe

Please do not worry, Lord Yuzhang

Please lead the troops to retreat temporarily

The emperor's body is still warm and not covered

It's a mess in the palace now

I will guard outside the East Palace

Uncle

I've done as you told me

now

You can release Wanru and me

to mourn for father, right?

Uncle

Uncle

Crown Prince

Sorry for offending you

Son-in-law

You're acting in such large scale

blocking the East Palace

What's your intention?

The emperor passed away

The prime minister is not in charge of the overall situation in Palace

Why did you station troops in the East Palace and hold the crown prince as hostage?

What's your intention?

Son-in-law

used the words of "hold"

It seems that

for your father-in-law.

you have some misunderstanding

I hope this is only a misunderstanding

Awu is the apple of my eyes

I let her to marry you

I thought

You and I

Can be a family

I think

Awu

doesn't want to see that

You and I

will go to war

That is subject to

how my father-in-law

makes his choice?

Okay

son-in-law

You have to be careful then

How's it going?

Your Highness

The prime minister led the imperial guard into the palace

The important place of the capital has been heavily guarded

The Lord led three thousand soldiers

surrounded the prime minister's mansion

I have known this day would come

But it came so soon

Your Highness?

Prepare the carriage

Go into the palace with me

Stop

How dare you stop Princess Yuzhang

Get away

Your Highness

Please stop

What's the situation at the palace?

Prime Minister

The prime minister abducted the crown prince

Father really acted first

The prime minister really went ahead of the Lord

Where's the Emoress?

In Shiqian Hall

Shiqian Hall was also surrounded by the prime minister

Princess, no

Why not?

Princess, you must not risk your life

Even if the princess stepped on Huaien' s body today

Huaien would never let you

step into this palace

I will not step on your dead body

But today,

if my father or Lord

Something bad happens to either of them

You may take back my dead body

Go to the imperial study

Okay

Do not disturb His Majesty

I want to see my uncle again

His Majesty's soul

is going to the heaven

Awu

You just kowtow to the emperor here

To bid farewell to him

How did my uncle pass away?

The life of the Emperor

can only be taken by the heaven

It's god

to let him go back

Didn't the imperial physician say

that he can get through this winter?

The destiny is difficult to defy

Is it really the god's will?

In the palace before,

so many things have happened

My uncle Emperor

suffered so much

Is it all god's will?

If God's will is hard to defy,

People's will

are more difficult to defy

You're right

People's will is harder to defy

The emperor just passed away

His body is still warm and not covered

Your father and your husband

are eager to lead their soldiers into the palace

to seize the power

Then you tell me

What are they thinking about?

What does my father think

I have no idea

But Xiao Qi

He is loyal to Cheng

Now

I don't trust anybody

The country cannot have no Emperor for one day

Whoever is against Long 'er's accession to the throne

is the betrayer

Report

Salute,Your Majesty

The Prime Minister's troop has surged into the Eastern Palace

They are confronting with Lord Yuzhang's troop

Step back

Okay

I won't allow

your father to betray us and seize power

Neither will I stand by and let your husband

to maintain an army and defy imperial orders

and become all-powerful

Aunt,

All that you are worried about won't happen

Uncle left an testamentary edict before his death

For now

If we follow the imperial edict

We can crush the rebellion

Testamentary edict?

The testamentary edict is God's will

Only when we follow God's will

can we reassure the public

This is the testamentary edict

How did you get it?

You

You

You didn't give me the imperial edict till your last minute

But you gave it to her!

The daughter of the Wang Family who married to a man of humble class

Why did you do this?

Aunt,

Now the top priority...

is to make known the imperial edict

to the whole country

How eager you are to let Zitan succeed to the throne?

No

This is uncle's will

Awu knew nothing of

the imperial edict

Awu

Your uncle is deceased now

Why don't you follow my lead

and give me that imperial edict

Aunt,

We can't make a big mistake

Awu

Give me that imperial edict

Destroy it

When Long'er succeeds the throne

I'll give you whatever you want

We can't go against God's will

Someone comes

Stop!

Give me that imperial edict

You must give it to me today!

Aunt,

Don't push me

It's you who are pushing me

Whoever goes against Zilong to take the throne

is my enemy

Give it to me, aunt

Your Highness

For my Long'er

I'll do whatever it takes

Aunt,

No!

Don't move

You have arranged your person

beside me?

Last time when you were hurt

I arranged my bodyguard

to protect you in the Zhaoyang Palace

No wonder

You were on guard of me long ago

I've been invincible my whole life

Yet I'm defeated by you

For now

It's not between you and me

But outside of this palace

Stop

Stop

Stop

Stop

Here is the imperial edict left by the emperor before his death

Who dares to violate?

Mother

Mother, save me

Long'er

Long'er

Awu

Come here

Come to me

Don't forget

You are the daughter of the Wang's

Here's the imperial edict

left by the former emperor

Who dares to violate?

Testamentary edict?

The emperor has passed away

and it happened suddenly

How could there be any testamentary edict?

Stop this, Awu

Before uncle fell ill

He left the testamentary edict to me himself

It's true

The imperial edict orders that

Ever since I became the emperor

my duty is to conform to the will of heaven

and ensure peace among the people

I feel regret that because of my incompetence

I failed my original aspiration

Now according to the ancestral teachings

and the will of the people

In order to pass on my unfulfilled wish

and my throne

This edict is to confirm that when I'm gone

The crown prince

Ma Zilong will take my place

Announce to the whole country

Let all the country notified

Your Highness

Let go off me!

Your Highness, you are the emperor now

You are the emperor

Long'er, it's you

It's me

It's really me

You all heard it

I'm the emperor

I'm the emperor

Did you hear it?

I

Mother

Mother

Stop

Mother

Father

The edict has made it clear

Don't be so obsessed

Father

Get away

Father

That day when we got together as a family of four

Do you know

what I wished for

in front of the Lord Buddha?

I only wish

our life goes on as usual

with a happy parents, a loving father and faithful kids

Father

I'm begging you

Don't go your own way

Are you sure that you want to be

a loner with power?

A loving father and faithful kids

Awu

If this is really what you want

Today

You shouldn't have taken the imperial edict out

Now look at me

Do I have any other way out?

Don't blame your father to be ruthless

Lord Yuzhang

Let me ask

Do you think Ma Zilong

is able to carry on the royal duty?

You have known it before

He held evil thoughts against Awu

And he raped Xie Wanru

in Huaguang Hall

When Zilv rebelled

The only thing he did was to cry for help

No air and dignity of a royal member at all

This kind of person

Is he good enough to be an emperor?

Me, Wang Lin,

has been in the royal palace

to assist the last emperor for over decades

I've been responsible for

all the domestic affairs

Today

I'm still the Prime Minister of Cheng

Okay

Today

Now that we have got the imperial edict of the last emperor

Very well

I can still assist the crown prince to govern the country

till he

becomes competent enough to be an emperor

Therefore,

Lord Yuzhang

Please retreat

Let's pacify the unrest

Okay?

All the messes today

is all caused by you

Prime Minister

Prime Minister

Apparently you've already committed

the crime of usurping the throne

Father-in-law

Forgive me but I cannot agree with you

Lord Yuzhang

In this case

Today

I suppose you are trying to put your father-in-law to death

I dare not

Okay

If so,

To tell you the truth

I have ordered someone

to place gunpowder

in the Shiqian Hall

Father

If Lord Yuzhang is not giving up today

Then this Shiqian Hall

will turn to dust and ashes along with the gunpower

You and me

Everybody

will end up here

Lord Yuzhang

How's that sound?

Father

How's that sound?

Wang Lin

Jinruo

Mother
