~ Episode 60 ~

23

With the dignity of being the Empress, I beg you.

24

Empress, you must not!

25

Promise me, okay?

26

This should still...

27

...be Wuji's choice. I shouldn't hinder his choice.

28

Even if his choice is wrong?

29

Even if his choice is wrong!

30

I think that Wuji knows more than us that there are a lot of things in this world

31

that you can't judge based on right or wrong, but only via pros and cons.

32

Hence, I can't interfere with his decision.

33

Sorry.

34

But do you know

35

that there are some things that are destined to be wrong once you did it?

36

For this matter, he can't do wrong.

37

Empress,

38

what's right or wrong has always been decided by you people. You've been making the decisions for him.

39

Molding him according to the direction that you want.

40

Never asking him if he felt any pain, if he was willing.

41

Wuji is the most clear-headed

42

and most responsible person that I know. Every decision that he made

43

must be based on his own reasons.

44

Hence...I won't interfere with his decision.

45

But do you know that on this matter,

46

he really can't commit a mistake.

47

What really is the reason?

48

Because...

49

Empress,

50

Even if Wuji will indeed commit a mistake, I will bear the consequences with him.

51

What he needs isn't a strategist but a companion.

52

Hence...sorry.

53

Fuyao!

54

When did you come?

55

Enough for me to hear all of it.

56

Thank you for understanding me.

57

Go and see your Royal Mother. I'll wait for you here.

58

Royal Mother.

59

Qi'er...

60

You've gotten thinner.

61

No.

62

You're the one who has gotten thinner.

63

Royal Father said that you've been praying in the temple for me these past days.

64

I've let mother worry.

65

I am unfilial.

66

Quickly rise, my child.

67

It's just right for a mother to worry about her son.

68

Have you been well in this journey?

69

I'm very well.

70

When they said...

71

...that you've died in the desert, I didn't believe it.

72

In this life, in this deep palace,

73

you are...the only person that I'm concerned about.

74

If you're gone,

75

what's still the meaning of the long years

76

I've endured here in this palace?

77

For letting Royal Mother worry,

78

I deserved to be punished with death.

79

Ji'er,

80

you will probably be staying a bit longer in the palace this time, right?

81

There are a lot that has happened in the imperial court.

82

I temporarily can't fulfill my filial duties by your side.

83

Is this about Prince Virtue inciting a rebellion?

84

- Your Royal Father wants—

- All these are court matters.

85

Royal Mother shouldn't get overly worried about it.

86

What if I beg you? I beg you to don't—

87

Royal Mother!

88

There are some things that shouldn't and need not be mentioned.

89

I know how to properly handle it. May Royal Mother understand.

90

- But—

- No but.

91

I always keep in mind my position as the crown prince

92

and place the nation first. May Royal Mother not worry.

93

No one can waver my determination of punishing the rebels.

94

It's already late. May Royal Mother rest early.

95

I'll take my leave.

96

No... Wuji!

97

If I tell you...

98

...that he is...

99

...that he is...

100

...that he is...

101

- ...your—

- Greetings, Your Ladyship Empress!

102

His Majesty said that Your Ladyship will surely be very happy in reuniting with Crown Prince after a long time.

103

However, this kind of emotional fluctuations might harm your health.

104

He especially ordered me to deliver a calming soup.

105

Royal Mother, take care of your body. I'll take my leave.

106

I'll take my leave.

107

No!

108

Bodhisattva!

109

Did I commit too much sins?

110

I beg you...

111

Don't let my Ji'er go to war...

112

No...

113

I've let Prince Assist wait for too long. Come, drink some tea to cool down.

114

Just for this tea, I've painstakingly waited for 2 hours.

115

I've been in my tent discussing some important military matters.

116

Those are all grand matters that concerns life and death.

117

I can't disregard it.

118

I risked my life and brought 80,000 elite men to reinforce Royal Uncle,

119

but you instead deliberately neglected me

120

and embarrassed me in front the whole army.

121

By doing that,

122

aren't you afraid that I'll withdraw my army and put you in a difficult spot?

123

Don't forget. You now have no retreat path.

124

Prince Assist you've said it too seriously. At present, there are so many people without a retreat path.

125

- I fear that you are one of them.

- You...

126

It's not my intention to belittle the people that you've brought.

127

It's just that we haven't started the war yet,

128

but only 60,000 men are left from your 80,000 army.

129

The change in number is really too great.

130

Since that's the case, why don't you just tie me up?

131

Use me to force the Imperial City to withdraw their army.

132

That is indeed a good strategy if we've reached the end of the rope.

133

You...

134

It's just that you've also lost the value of being a hostage now.

135

You devised all means to kill Wuji

136

and even harmed the person he wanted to protect. You think

137

that Wuji will withdraw his army just to save you?

138

As for that emperor of ours, I fear that what he cares about is only himself.

139

You think that the person Wuji hates is only me?

140

I fear that the person he hates the most is you.

141

Don't think that you're able to hide your affair with the mistress of Pure Mist Palace Hall so perfectly.

142

Let me tell you too that in the palace, there isn't a wall where wind (gossip) couldn't pass through.

143

I'm just reminding Royal Uncle...

144

...to not be fainthearted and hesitate.

145

Since I've decided to rebel, there then won't be any room to be fainthearted.

146

Yes. I indeed rebel because of that person in Pure Mist Palace Hall.

147

But if one day, I really have to face Crown Prince in the battlefield,

148

I also will not be lenient.

149

You make it sound so pleasant. But if you really kill her son,

150

aren't you afraid that she'll hate you forever?

151

Let her hate then.

152

As long as she's by my side,

153

she'll eventually forget it.

154

In this world, it's impossible to have everything both ways.

155

In between you dying and I living,

156

there has always been just one choice.

157

Okay! If Royal Uncle can really do what you said,

158

I'm willing to be at your beck and call.

159

Sure. It's good that Prince Assist can be a sensible person.

160

Then regarding our initial arrangement in the palace,

161

it's time for them to make their move.

162

Your Majesty, your medicine is here.

163

Did they go there already?

164

Your Majesty, everything has been prepared.

165

Okay.

166

Okay.

167

Your Ladyship Empress, please come with us.

168

Was it him who told you people to fetch me?

169

How dare you!

170

You were not sent by him...

171

Capture the assassins!

172

Let them leave.

173

I find this matter strange.

174

You're talking about Prince Virtue's rebellion?

175

These past years, Prince Virtue has been careful and cautious.

176

He was able to handle internal and external affairs appropriately without any notable lapses.

177

For a person like that, if he doesn't have full confidence that he'll win, how could he suddenly rebel?

178

Why then, at this time, did he set up camp in the north bank of the river and isn't making any move?

179

Your Highness, I heard that assassins have appeared in the palace. I just don't know the exact situation yet.

180

- Go and investigate it.- Yes.

181

Your Highness! Your Highness!

182

- Your Highness!

-Talk.

183

Empress is missing.

184

- What?!

- These past days, Empress Ci'en has always been in front of Buddha's statue praying to the ancestors

185

and for blessings for the Five Regions. But just earlier, some assassins trespassed into the palace and then she went missing.

186

Could it be that the assassins abducted her?

187

I'll go look.

188

Grand Teacher...please...

189

...give me...

190

...some...

191

- ...some more time.

- Time? There's no more time.

192

You are not wearing down my patience,

193

but is wearing down the fate of the whole world!

194

Megrez is currently at a crisis.

195

I can't hide in here.

196

If you keep hesitating and delaying it like this,

197

you will become the traitor who brought disaster to the Five Regions.

198

Just for one's selfish reasons, you mess up world order and treated human lives as mere trifle.

199

What's your difference with the Zhangsun Jia of Megrez?

200

Grand Teacher...

201

...I beg you to give me some more time.

202

After placating the situation in Megrez,

203

I...

204

...will return to accept my punishment.

205

Young Lord—

206

What's going on? I've never seen Young Lord this weak.

207

- How about I go to Plough Nation now to invite Mr. Zong over?

- Don't panic first.

208

I've already used my internal energy to treat him. I just couldn't tell if it's an injury or poison?

209

We've encountered this once while in Plough Nation, but he wouldn't say a thing.

210

Then...what about Mr. Zong? He was in Plough Nation too.

211

He indeed knew more than I do, but he couldn't do anything.

212

What about Empress Yuan? How many were the assassins?

213

- They said that there were 2 groups. They probably acted separately but in sync with each other to cause a distraction.

- Two groups of men...

214

Well-trained and knowledgeable of the topography. They were able to abduct Empress Yuan with accurate timing.

215

It means that they are from this palace.

216

Who could it be?

217

This...I also dare not make rash conclusions.

218

But...

219

Prince Virtue.

220

That is also what I think. I got intel from outside the palace

221

that the assassins went northward after leaving the palace and left the city very quickly.

222

They probably are heading to the rebel army garrison in the north bank of the river. I fear that...

223

...they will be using Empress as a hostage and blackmail Crown Prince to surrender without fighting.

224

- Young Lord, you must not!

- Get out of the way.

225

Young Lord...you must not.

226

If you leave the Imperial City, that's falling into their trick.

227

You clearly know that Prince Virtue's main target is you. Why must you go along with his plan?

228

Are you really trying to be my enemy?!

229

I've served the Upper Yang Palace for more than 20 years. I always remembered the words you told me.

230

One can do the things that are deemed impossible, but one mustn't do things rashly, disregarding the general situation!

231

- You getting into their trap alone is a thing that mustn't be done! I have to stop you!

- You...

232

Moreover, Prince Virtue...his target is you!

233

He wouldn't really harm Empress Yuan and Miss Fuyao, Young Lord...

234

Your Highness Crown Prince.

235

Your Highness Crown Prince, His Majesty urgently asks to see you.

236

Royal Father.

237

You're here.

238

Wuji, I expected...

239

...that Zhangsun Jia will rebel.

240

I also expected Pingrong will sail with the wind.

241

But I never expected that they will do something

242

to your Royal Mother.

243

Wuji, has the army you mobilized arrived already?

244

Probably by tonight or tomorrow morning.

245

Do you have any confidence that you'll win?

246

I've really now become alone.

247

Each one betraying and leaving me.

248

In the whole Five Regions, you're the only one left that I can trust.

249

Good thing, you're here. Even if I...

250

...leave this world now,

251

I at least have a son that will send me off.

252

Royal Father...

253

I can only trust you.

254

That year, at the hunting grounds,

255

Zhangsun Jia almost killed you with his arrow.

256

Only now did I understand...

257

...that it might be destined...

258

...that only one...

259

...must live between the two of you.

260

Life and death are fated. But Royal Father, don't worry.

261

My life will not end here.

262

I...am old.

263

I couldn't even hold a sword.

264

Hold it well.

265

Set out for battle. Kill Zhangsun Jia

266

in my behalf.

267

Royal Father, rebels and traitors

268

should be executed. I will not refuse such a responsibility.

269

It's just that...

270

What you're worrying about is your Royal Mother, am I right?

271

Sit down.

272

Wuji, so many years have passed.

273

There are indeed some matters

274

that there is no harm to let you know.

275

The Prince Virtue then and your Royal Mother

276

were indeed...

277

...a perfect couple that everyone envied.

278

That time, I...

279

...even though I love your Royal Mother too,

280

the two of them have mutual affection for each other.

281

I can't steal somebody's lover.

282

But if Royal Mother loves him,

283

why then did she...

284

That's right. I also asked myself that.

285

Why then did she enter the palace?

286

I think it must be because...

287

...the status of being the Empress, its reputation and might.

288

That is indeed being a mother figure of the world, being above everyone.

289

Who doesn't want to have it?

290

Just like that,

291

she entered the palace. She received a lot.

292

When man obtains what he desires, he tends to desire more.

293

That time, I had to attend to state affairs

294

day and night. Maybe your Royal Mother felt that I've neglected her.

295

She bore discontentment. Hence, she remembered

296

the romantic times she had with Prince Virtue.

297

And the Prince Virtue at this time,

298

took advantage of your Royal Mother's little trust in him,

299

used her to secretly

300

poison me.

301

Royal Father...

302

Good thing...

303

...I fortunately was saved.

304

But my health couldn't endure anymore exhaustion.

305

And everyday,

306

I couldn't attend the court and just stay here in this meditation chamber to cultivate inner energy pills

307

to resist the poisons that they've given me ...

308

...that are still inside my body.

309

Days then went by one by one just like that.

310

You then...

311

...were in Firmament tarining and haven't returned.

312

Pingrong, on the other hand, wasn't fit to bear any important responsibility. Who then can I tell it too?

313

Hence, I could only pretend...

314

...to not know anything.

315

After telling you all these,

316

don't get mad at your Royal Mother.

317

She is after all a woman I loved.

318

After all, she gave birth and raised you.

319

You should also forgive the mistakes she committed.

320

But your Royal Uncle, Zhangsun Jia...

321

...I can't tolerate him.

322

You know what to do, right?

323

Royal Father, don't worry.

324

I understand what I should do.

325

Remember my words. This Zhangsun Jia

326

is more adept in tactics than you can imagine.

327

You must be very careful when you meet him in battle. But I don't care what price

328

you have to pay, what means you will use, or how many casualties you will incur,

329

I only want you...to personally kill him.

330

You must promise me...

331

...that you will personally kill him.

332

Or else, I will not die in peace.

333

I...will obey your command.

334

Go now.

335

Royal Father, take care.

336

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com

337

Yi'er, you have suffered.

338

A'rong?!

339

- Get out!

- Yes!

340

How come it's you, A'rong?

341

You still know that my name is A'rong? Do you still remember...

342

...that I'm your wife?

343

My nickname...

344

...only you can call it.

345

But now, you're not qualified to!

346

It's been so many years. Have you been well?

347

I didn't die. Tell me, is that good or not?

348

I know that you hate me. But the person I clearly rescued was—

349

You clearly rescued that bitch, am I right?

350

Are you very disappointed now?

351

A'Rong, you shouldn't be here.

352

- Yi'er, she—

- Don't mention her in front of me!

353

I'll won't tell you where she is,

354

even if you kill me.

355

How could I kill you? You are after all my wife.

356

Wife?

357

Have you really treated me as your wife?

358

No.

359

You never did.

360

From the start,

361

you were just faking your affection.

362

In your heart,

363

there was never a position for me!

364

From the start,

365

I shouldn't have believed your lies. I shouldn't have married you.

366

In your heart,

367

I'm just a replacement, a cover, a stupid woman that you can use anytime!

368

When I married you then,

369

I indeed had intentions to win over the support of Deep Water Nation.

370

But even so, I never treated you unfairly.

371

The status and glory you deserved,

372

I...gave them all to you.

373

It was you who requested to leave.

374

I requested to leave?

375

Did you think that I took Lian'er with me and left

376

all just because I learned about your affair with that woman?

377

You don't know...

378

You don't really know what has happened!

379

You don't know what has happened to Lian'er!

380

You don't know how survived that time!

381

What has happened?

382

What really has happened?!

383

What's still the point of saying all these?

384

Yes, I forgot.

385

You once were the top fighter of Megrez.

386

Even if I spend so much effort these past years,

387

learn as much magic as I can, I will never be able to defeat you.

388

Yes, I'm an assassin.

389

I failed. You decide on my punishment.

390

Don't be afraid. Now is not the time to reminsce.

391

Just rest here.

392

Do you have any news about them?

393

I've already meticulously asked around, there are indeed no news about Ms. Fuyao.

394

But the rebel army indeed abducted a woman. Prince Virtue ordered that she be treated well.

395

They never dared neglected her. Maybe, it's Empress Ci'en.

396

What's going on? I heard that you abducted the wrong person.

397

How could you commit such a huge blunder?

398

Leave now.

399

Xu Lai, you leave too.

400

I have to ask you then. All the palace spies were arranged by you.

401

Only us know about the whole plan. How could they have abducted the wrong person?

402

Are you then suspecting me of covertly informing Royal Father of our plans?

403

Isn't it?

404

I've already staked my whole possessions and my life on you. You're still doubting me?

405

A smart better will never stake everything

406

on one person.

407

What do you mean?

408

If you don't believe me, why then did you make an alliance with me?

409

What are you trying to do?

410

I really didn't leak any information!

411

At this point, it's already not important who leaked the news.

412

Now that we failed, we won't have another chance to enter the palace.

413

We can only attack.

414

If we win, I will still have a chance to save her.

415

If we lose, then don't bother discussing anything anymore.

416

Attack?

417

The 80,000 army of the Liu Family in Changhe are still on their way here. We haven't finished stocking up our military provisions.

418

If you attack now, isn't that suicide?!

419

I don't need to explain things to you.

420

Even if I don't attack, the army of Megrez is already on their way.

421

I won't force you to stay. Just do as you please.

422

If I knew that you will commit suicide, why did I side with you?!

423

Get out!

424

What do we do now?

425

I was so wrong about him. He totally is a lunatic!

426

He surely will lose this battle. We mustn't get involved in this mess.

427

What you mean then is...

428

Pack up our things.

429

Let's go.

430

What is this place?

431

It's no use.

432

Don't waste your energy.

433

Empress. This...

434

This is the most important secret chamber of Megrez.

435

The ones binding our body

436

are also the Imprisonment Chains that are the hardest chains to be broken here in Megrez for hundreds of years.

437

Since he wanted to lock us in here,

438

he then are sure that we won't be able to escape.

439

In here, even if you hurt your throat from shouting, no one will hear you.

440

Whether we live or die,

441

it's all according to his whim. As long as he doesn't say it,

442

then no one will ever know that we're here.

443

Prince Virtue looked like a person with high morals,

444

yet he actually is this despicable! He even treated you like this.

445

Do you really not know who abducted you?

446

Do you not understand who is the true mastermind...

447

...behind all these?

448

Prince Virtue...

449

"Hard-to-Get Love" by Lala Hsu

452

♫ What do you know? ♫

453

♫ What are good about the three realms? ♫

454

♫ If there're no three poisons, if there're no worries ♫

455

♫ How can it make me reluctant to leave? ♫

456

♫ Worry for love, beg for hate ♫

457

♫ And even discard my soul for affection ♫

458

♫ The one, who asks me to love him, loves me ♫

459

♫ I only want him to love me ♫

460

♫ What do you use to exchange for this hard-to-get love? ♫

461

♫ If there's no sickness or weakness, if there's never oldness ♫

462

♫ How can it make a spark to chase after stars alone? ♫

463

♫ Slim down for him, stay for my heart ♫

464

♫ And even chase away all luck for dreams ♫

465

♫ It wants me to be so pretty that I seize his soul ♫

466

♫ And continue dazzling in his heart ♫

467

♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫

468

♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫

469

♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫

470

♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫

471

♫ There is a saying that if a person asks for the next lifetime ♫

472

♫ One should only ask to know everything about warfare ♫

473

♫ Dreams beg heart to grant me love ♫

474

♫ And have someone's company for the rest of my life ♫

475

♫ Have someone's company♫

476

♫ There is a saying that what a person asks for the lifetime ♫

477

♫ Is no more than staying together with one's lover by any means ♫

478

♫ If one can't obtain what one asks for ♫

479

♫ One is filled with anxiety and with knitted brows ♫
