00:24.303 --> 00:24.943
Brother.

00:31.463 --> 00:32.343
What are these?

00:34.823 --> 00:41.223
[Chief of Great Yan's Helian Tribe,
Helian Chuan]
I have some good news for you.
Elder Tubo of the Hongchuan Tribe
wants to take you as his concubine.

00:41.223 --> 00:42.023
Look at these.

00:42.303 --> 00:44.023
These are all
the betrothal gifts they sent—

00:44.023 --> 00:46.183
a full twenty-something chests of them.

00:46.183 --> 00:46.943
Look.

00:48.263 --> 00:48.983
Look at these

00:49.063 --> 00:50.463
gold and silver jewelry.

00:53.983 --> 00:55.383
Elder Tubo also promised

00:55.943 --> 00:57.463
that after you get married,

00:57.623 --> 00:59.423
he will give us 500 horses

00:59.423 --> 01:01.023
and 200 acres of pasture.

01:01.423 --> 01:02.503
Two hundred acres.

01:03.423 --> 01:04.583
Our Helian Tribe hasn't been

01:04.583 --> 01:06.183
this glorious in a long time.

01:09.023 --> 01:10.783
Elder Tubo is over 70 years old.

01:11.583 --> 01:13.303
He also already has
three wives and concubines.

01:13.303 --> 01:14.023
Brother,

01:14.303 --> 01:15.863
you're not joking, are you?

01:16.423 --> 01:17.783
My dear sister,

01:18.583 --> 01:20.303
you should be sensible.

01:21.503 --> 01:22.143
Yes,

01:23.023 --> 01:25.423
Elder Tubo is a bit old.

01:26.503 --> 01:27.503
But you also know

01:27.943 --> 01:29.103
the Hongchuan Tribe

01:29.143 --> 01:30.703
is the most powerful

01:30.703 --> 01:32.303
of the 13 tribes in Great Yan.

01:32.663 --> 01:34.183
He is a bit old,

01:34.503 --> 01:36.863
but his wives and concubines
are not young either.

01:36.863 --> 01:38.463
Even if you marry him as a concubine now

01:38.463 --> 01:41.143
and bear him a child,

01:41.223 --> 01:42.063
in a few years,

01:42.063 --> 01:44.623
when he
and his wives and concubines are gone,

01:45.863 --> 01:47.023
this Hongchuan Tribe

01:47.303 --> 01:49.823
will become the backyard
of our Helian Tribe.

01:54.223 --> 01:56.463
Just thinking about it makes me happy.

01:57.183 --> 01:58.623
Give up on that idea.

01:59.303 --> 02:00.663
Mind your own business.

02:06.783 --> 02:08.303
Yan Xun will not marry you.

02:08.703 --> 02:09.943
For that female slave,

02:10.303 --> 02:12.863
he even stopped fighting
the war with Great Yong.

02:12.863 --> 02:14.503
You still expect to marry him?

02:14.623 --> 02:15.903
Stop daydreaming!

02:17.383 --> 02:18.263
Do you think

02:18.623 --> 02:20.183
the Hongchuan Tribe
giving you a few horses

02:20.183 --> 02:21.143
can bring back the past glory

02:21.143 --> 02:22.383
our Helian Tribe had?

02:22.503 --> 02:23.383
Let me tell you,

02:23.823 --> 02:25.423
even if you sell me to Tubo,

02:25.703 --> 02:28.023
the tribes of Great Yan
will still look down on you.

02:28.023 --> 02:29.623
You will still be the worthless prodigal

02:29.623 --> 02:30.663
mocked by those tribe elders,

02:30.663 --> 02:31.143
the—

02:33.183 --> 02:34.543
I'm warning you:

02:35.183 --> 02:37.663
Obediently marry Elder Tubo.

02:38.303 --> 02:40.303
Otherwise, I'll strangle you to death

02:40.303 --> 02:42.823
and send your corpse to him.

04:17.463 --> 04:22.623
[REBIRTH]

04:23.063 --> 04:25.543
[Episode 11]

05:15.783 --> 05:16.703
General Cheng,

05:17.263 --> 05:18.863
what else do you want from me?

05:19.183 --> 05:21.823
Do you, Lady Helian,
feel that I, Cheng Yuan, have lost power

05:21.823 --> 05:23.503
so you don't even want to see me?

05:23.503 --> 05:25.263
General Cheng, why say that?

05:25.943 --> 05:26.743
I am just

05:26.743 --> 05:28.943
an ordinary female officer in the army.

05:29.303 --> 05:31.263
What makes me capable
of being a fair-weather friend

05:31.263 --> 05:32.863
and looking down on you, General Cheng?

05:32.863 --> 05:35.143
It's just that
I can hardly protect myself now.

05:35.143 --> 05:36.703
I'm afraid it's not like before,

05:36.703 --> 05:38.703
and I can't help you with anything.

05:38.863 --> 05:39.703
What if I said

05:40.503 --> 05:41.743
I am here to help you?

05:42.423 --> 05:43.623
Would you believe it?

05:46.703 --> 05:48.623
I address you as General Cheng

05:49.143 --> 05:51.583
only because of our past alliance.

05:51.943 --> 05:53.623
You are a stray dog now,

05:53.863 --> 05:54.943
how can you help me?

05:57.103 --> 05:58.823
I am a stray dog, indeed,

05:59.623 --> 06:01.943
but I am also the one
who knows Yan Xun best.

06:07.583 --> 06:09.063
What are you trying to say?

06:13.743 --> 06:14.823
I can help you

06:15.863 --> 06:17.503
become Yan Xun's queen.

06:25.663 --> 06:26.983
What do you want me to do?

06:47.183 --> 06:47.943
Strange.

06:48.743 --> 06:50.263
In the past,
when this black eagle saw His Majesty,

06:50.263 --> 06:51.143
it would stop.

06:51.503 --> 06:53.503
Why is it acting so abnormal today?

06:55.183 --> 06:56.023
It's Chu.

06:56.783 --> 06:58.663
The black eagle brought Chu back!

07:24.863 --> 07:25.583
Chu.

07:42.383 --> 07:43.183
Your Majesty.

07:43.623 --> 07:45.703
Why did you call for this black eagle?

07:46.863 --> 07:47.743
Your Majesty,

07:48.503 --> 07:50.183
I have never seen this black eagle before,

07:50.183 --> 07:51.863
nor do I know how to call for it.

07:52.863 --> 07:54.503
It flew over

07:54.503 --> 07:55.543
while I was practicing horse riding.

07:55.543 --> 07:56.663
Maybe it was tired of flying

07:56.663 --> 07:58.543
and wanted to stop and have a rest.

08:01.943 --> 08:02.703
Is this eagle

08:02.943 --> 08:04.623
raised by Your Majesty?

08:05.703 --> 08:07.903
I see a white silk ribbon tied to its leg.

08:08.143 --> 08:10.503
This is a custom of Great Yan's herdsmen
to make a wish.

08:10.503 --> 08:13.383
Does Your Majesty
have any wish you wish to fulfill?

08:17.183 --> 08:19.263
Why do you suddenly
want to learn horse riding?

08:19.263 --> 08:21.863
Because Your Majesty
has been either hunting in the paddock

08:21.863 --> 08:24.423
or leading people
to look around for Queen Chu.

08:24.423 --> 08:25.743
I want to help Your Majesty.

08:25.743 --> 08:27.503
Even if we can't find Queen Chu,

08:27.543 --> 08:29.623
I can accompany Your Majesty to hunt

08:29.743 --> 08:30.623
and relax.

08:34.463 --> 08:36.103
I'll teach you how to ride a horse.

08:36.103 --> 08:36.863
Come with me.

09:10.703 --> 09:11.623
Chu...

09:14.023 --> 09:14.663
Chu?

09:16.423 --> 09:18.183
I asked Black Eagle to find you.

09:19.383 --> 09:20.023
Did...

09:20.663 --> 09:22.383
Did Black Eagle bring you back?

09:22.703 --> 09:23.383
Yes.

09:26.663 --> 09:27.303
Yan Xun.

09:27.943 --> 09:28.863
Look at me.

09:29.783 --> 09:30.903
I'm Chu.

09:32.183 --> 09:33.023
Chu.

09:33.623 --> 09:34.703
I miss you so much.

09:45.503 --> 09:46.263
Yan Xun.

09:47.663 --> 09:48.783
I'm Chu.

09:49.543 --> 09:50.983
I am your Chu.

09:57.863 --> 09:59.023
I missed you so much.

10:00.023 --> 10:00.823
Your Majesty.

10:02.023 --> 10:03.023
Let's drink.

10:03.503 --> 10:05.783
[Tangjing, Biantang]

10:13.543 --> 10:15.183
Is Beauty Han here?

10:16.143 --> 10:16.903
Beauty Han,

10:17.663 --> 10:19.143
I have prepared for you...

10:21.783 --> 10:22.983
Oh, it's the Empress.

10:25.063 --> 10:26.343
Greetings, Your Majesty.

10:26.343 --> 10:28.903
I must ask for your forgiveness
for one thing.

10:28.903 --> 10:30.423
I failed in raising our son,

10:30.663 --> 10:32.543
causing him to made a grave mistake.

10:32.543 --> 10:33.903
What has Ce done now?

10:42.063 --> 10:42.863
Your Majesty,

10:43.423 --> 10:45.343
Princess Fu, whom Ce brought back,

10:45.463 --> 10:47.303
is actually a criminal slave
from Great Yong,

10:47.303 --> 10:50.063
Chu Qiao,
a general of Great Yan's Xiuli Army.

10:51.183 --> 10:52.143
I originally thought

10:52.143 --> 10:54.543
Ce was just acting absurdly

10:54.583 --> 10:56.663
which was why
he had feelings for that woman.

10:56.663 --> 11:00.063
So I turned a blind eye

11:00.303 --> 11:01.463
and let him be.

11:01.823 --> 11:03.663
But at the state banquet that day,

11:03.823 --> 11:04.943
he and Chu Qiao

11:04.983 --> 11:07.103
echoed each other with King of Ximeng,

11:07.103 --> 11:08.303
colluding secretly.

11:09.583 --> 11:10.503
I suspect

11:11.423 --> 11:13.183
Ce might be secretly colluding

11:13.503 --> 11:14.623
with Ximeng.

11:17.943 --> 11:19.303
You mean

11:19.823 --> 11:22.943
Ce colluded
with General Chu Qiao of Great Yan

11:23.663 --> 11:25.663
and the King of Ximeng,

11:25.943 --> 11:26.463
right?

11:28.823 --> 11:30.863
Does Your Majesty find this amusing?

11:31.303 --> 11:32.423
I think

11:33.183 --> 11:36.903
since we Biantang
are bordering Great Yan and Great Yong,

11:37.903 --> 11:40.263
now that they are at war,

11:40.943 --> 11:44.063
no matter who wins or loses in the end,

11:44.063 --> 11:46.423
it wouldn't be a good thing for Biantang.

11:47.703 --> 11:50.143
If Ce can really make Ximeng

11:50.263 --> 11:52.303
an ally of Biantang,

11:52.423 --> 11:55.143
that would indeed relieve
one of my worries.

11:57.703 --> 11:59.823
Does Your Majesty really think so?

12:01.183 --> 12:02.903
As for this Chu Qiao,

12:03.583 --> 12:05.823
if Ce likes her, let him be.

12:06.743 --> 12:08.183
She's just a female slave.

12:08.783 --> 12:10.263
Besides, I've heard

12:10.663 --> 12:14.023
this slave once helped
Heir Apparent Yan rebel.

12:14.623 --> 12:15.863
I saw her that day too.

12:16.063 --> 12:17.183
She is quick-witted

12:17.343 --> 12:18.423
and capable.

12:18.703 --> 12:20.463
If she can be used by Ce,

12:21.063 --> 12:22.343
it's also a good thing.

12:22.343 --> 12:23.263
But this Chu Qiao's

12:23.263 --> 12:25.463
relationship with Heir Apparent Yan
is extremely complicated.

12:25.463 --> 12:27.463
I am not at ease letting her marry Ce.

12:31.543 --> 12:32.543
Isn't that

12:32.583 --> 12:35.303
exactly what you and I want?

12:35.703 --> 12:36.943
If we

12:37.143 --> 12:39.783
had not gone through
all those twists and turns,

12:40.063 --> 12:43.463
we wouldn't be in such harmony today.

12:46.943 --> 12:47.783
Someone,

12:48.103 --> 12:49.703
bring the snacks I prepared.

12:53.303 --> 12:55.903
This is your favourite pastry,

12:55.903 --> 12:57.423
Milk Poria Crisp Custard,

12:58.063 --> 13:00.463
I had the imperial kitchen
prepare for you.

13:00.943 --> 13:02.423
Come, have a taste.

13:15.383 --> 13:16.783
Thank you, Your Majesty,

13:17.423 --> 13:20.423
for remembering
my preference after all these years.

13:28.503 --> 13:29.143
Leave.

13:29.703 --> 13:30.223
Yes.

13:35.023 --> 13:35.823
Your Majesty,

13:36.303 --> 13:38.263
don't ruin your health with anger.

13:38.423 --> 13:39.983
I will definitely do my best

13:40.783 --> 13:41.903
to plan for you.

14:01.543 --> 14:02.343
Your Majesty,

14:02.663 --> 14:03.663
His Majesty not only sent people

14:03.663 --> 14:05.343
to deliver
those gold, silver and brocades,

14:05.343 --> 14:06.383
but also specifically ordered

14:06.383 --> 14:07.463
that your meals in the future

14:07.463 --> 14:08.823
will be made by the small kitchen.

14:08.823 --> 14:10.383
He said the chef in the small kitchen

14:10.383 --> 14:13.183
is best at making
the Poria Crisp Custard you love.

14:13.783 --> 14:14.623
Your Majesty!

14:16.823 --> 14:17.623
Your Majesty.

14:18.943 --> 14:20.263
What's wrong, Yan Qing?

14:24.343 --> 14:25.343
Heir Apparent...

14:27.303 --> 14:29.103
What happened to Heir Apparent?

14:29.223 --> 14:31.663
News came
from the Prince of Chang's mansion

14:32.303 --> 14:34.423
that Heir Apparent caught a plague...

14:35.943 --> 14:36.943
and passed away.

14:43.583 --> 14:44.183
What?

14:44.943 --> 14:46.543
Heir Apparent...

14:48.463 --> 14:49.903
passed away.

14:51.823 --> 14:52.623
Your Majesty!

14:53.103 --> 14:53.663
Your Majesty!

14:53.663 --> 14:54.423
Impossible.

14:54.743 --> 14:55.743
Xu is not dead.

14:55.743 --> 14:56.663
I'm going to find him.

14:56.663 --> 14:57.223
Your Majesty.

14:57.223 --> 14:57.983
I'm going to find him.

14:57.983 --> 14:58.823
Your Majesty.

14:58.823 --> 14:59.663
Let me go!

15:01.783 --> 15:02.583
Your Majesty.

15:12.423 --> 15:14.143
Xu!

15:14.903 --> 15:16.943
Your Majesty.

15:17.823 --> 15:18.863
Your Majesty!

15:18.943 --> 15:19.903
Your Majesty!

15:20.303 --> 15:21.063
Your Majesty.

15:21.063 --> 15:23.183
Xu!

15:34.703 --> 15:35.583
He who couldn't tolerate

15:35.583 --> 15:37.503
my son with Crown Prince Maocheng,

15:38.863 --> 15:40.063
so he killed Xu.

15:42.983 --> 15:44.263
He lied to me.

15:46.663 --> 15:48.143
He said he would spare Xu.

15:50.023 --> 15:52.023
Yet he used such a despicable method

15:53.143 --> 15:54.423
to kill him.

15:55.463 --> 15:56.543
It's my fault.

15:57.343 --> 15:58.823
I was incompetent.

15:59.983 --> 16:02.143
I failed to eliminate Chu Qiao for you,

16:02.863 --> 16:05.063
causing you to suffer such a grievance.

16:06.103 --> 16:08.023
Your Majesty, please don't be sad.

16:08.543 --> 16:10.023
Just punish me.

16:30.583 --> 16:31.343
Lord Zhan.

16:31.663 --> 16:33.663
Her Majesty sentenced you to 40 lashes.

16:33.663 --> 16:35.343
You should put your clothes on.

16:35.343 --> 16:36.143
Otherwise...

16:36.183 --> 16:38.063
Otherwise,
you'll be beaten to a bloody pulp.

16:38.063 --> 16:39.623
That is what I deserve.

16:40.343 --> 16:41.983
I must remember this pain,

16:42.623 --> 16:44.623
so I won't disappoint her.

16:45.623 --> 16:46.663
Continue!

17:05.143 --> 17:06.503
Last time in the palace,

17:06.503 --> 17:07.263
Her Majesty already noticed

17:07.263 --> 17:09.583
the connection between us
and King of Ximeng.

17:09.583 --> 17:10.583
Before she figures out

17:10.583 --> 17:11.623
our relationship

17:11.743 --> 17:12.983
and makes a move against us,

17:12.983 --> 17:14.343
we must act first.

17:14.343 --> 17:15.983
Yes, we must act first.

17:16.303 --> 17:17.343
I'll keep it brief.

17:17.343 --> 17:19.743
The first step is to find some people.

17:20.343 --> 17:21.183
Find some people?

17:21.183 --> 17:21.983
Let me ask you.

17:22.263 --> 17:23.543
Do you know anyone

17:23.543 --> 17:25.343
in Tangjing governor's office?

17:25.983 --> 17:27.023
Not just the governor's office.

17:27.023 --> 17:29.143
Also the Supervisory Bureau,
the Penal Bureau, and the Censorate—

17:29.143 --> 17:30.743
do you know anyone in any of these?

17:30.743 --> 17:31.343
Qiao,

17:31.583 --> 17:32.863
if I did,

17:32.983 --> 17:34.583
I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths

17:34.583 --> 17:36.263
to have you train an army in my stead.

17:36.263 --> 17:38.423
They don't need
to be high-ranking officials.

17:38.423 --> 17:39.783
Even bailiffs would do.

17:40.263 --> 17:41.183
Bailiffs?

17:41.823 --> 17:42.383
Right.

17:42.823 --> 17:43.183
You just need to

17:43.183 --> 17:45.023
have them copy the files

17:45.023 --> 17:47.663
and prisoner lists in their departments
for me.

18:16.903 --> 18:17.583
Minglu,

18:18.263 --> 18:19.303
I need your help.

18:19.783 --> 18:20.423
My help?

18:21.143 --> 18:22.223
Have you forgotten

18:22.863 --> 18:25.383
that you are the one who killed my father?

18:26.623 --> 18:28.903
What about Yan Xun, who rebelled with me?

18:31.303 --> 18:33.143
He is the Heir Apparent of Great Yan.

18:33.143 --> 18:34.503
What does that make him?

18:35.423 --> 18:36.703
If the Muhe clan hadn't

18:37.103 --> 18:38.983
tried to cover up their negligence

18:38.983 --> 18:41.423
by blaming
the soldiers defending the city,

18:42.143 --> 18:44.743
how could your father
and the soldiers of Zhenhuangcheng

18:44.743 --> 18:46.343
be sent to the guillotine?

18:47.583 --> 18:49.743
And that brutal Emperor of Great Yong—

18:50.023 --> 18:52.543
why don't you ask
why Zhenhuangcheng fell?

18:53.103 --> 18:55.503
Why don't you ask the high officials
responsible for the imperial city's safety

18:55.503 --> 18:57.263
why they killed a few imperial guards?

18:57.263 --> 19:00.823
That's because Muhe clan are trusted aides
of the Emperor of Great Yong.

19:00.823 --> 19:02.343
The lives of a few mere imperial guards

19:02.343 --> 19:05.543
mean nothing to them.

19:05.623 --> 19:08.423
They could just be killed
just to vent their anger.

19:15.823 --> 19:17.223
Then I'll kill you first,

19:17.663 --> 19:19.263
and then kill them one by one.

19:19.583 --> 19:21.023
You can't even kill me.

19:21.343 --> 19:22.503
How can you kill them?

19:22.503 --> 19:25.103
You're just saying all these
to make me give up.

19:25.423 --> 19:26.783
You're trying to tell me

19:26.943 --> 19:28.383
that in this world,

19:28.703 --> 19:29.943
I can't kill them,

19:30.983 --> 19:31.703
and my father

19:32.423 --> 19:33.863
died in vain, right?

19:35.423 --> 19:36.103
No.

19:37.343 --> 19:38.743
It's quite the contrary.

19:39.223 --> 19:40.583
I'm giving you a choice.

19:41.343 --> 19:42.103
Right now,

19:42.503 --> 19:44.623
you can either kill me with this sword,

19:44.783 --> 19:47.583
or you can use it to help me,

19:48.343 --> 19:50.383
so we can create a new world together.

19:51.183 --> 19:52.463
A new world?

19:53.583 --> 19:54.503
In this world,

19:55.823 --> 19:58.263
the lives of noble clans
are not the only ones that matter.

19:58.263 --> 20:01.063
Soldiers, commoners, and slaves—

20:01.503 --> 20:02.823
our lives and deaths

20:02.983 --> 20:04.663
should not be decided by others,

20:04.663 --> 20:06.743
but should be firmly in our own hands.

20:07.063 --> 20:08.103
I need your help.

20:08.343 --> 20:09.823
Help me change this world

20:09.823 --> 20:12.103
dominated by the royals and noble clans.

20:15.863 --> 20:19.063
Then no one will die like your father

20:19.343 --> 20:21.623
and the soldiers of Zhenhuang cheng did.

20:27.383 --> 20:29.343
If you don't believe me,

20:30.543 --> 20:32.023
you can kill me anytime.

20:47.783 --> 20:49.303
The world you talked about—

20:49.303 --> 20:50.143
is it real?

21:00.583 --> 21:01.183
Qiao.

21:01.583 --> 21:03.183
How is your selection going?

21:03.743 --> 21:04.663
I've chosen one.

21:04.663 --> 21:05.783
Come and take a look.

21:08.863 --> 21:10.503
This person's name is Wang Shi'er.

21:10.503 --> 21:11.903
He's from Pingyang County.

21:11.903 --> 21:14.263
He robbed 5 tombs of princes
from previous dynasties,

21:14.263 --> 21:16.903
and was locked up in the county prison
by the governor of Tangjing.

21:16.903 --> 21:18.343
He will be exiled to Guanbei soon.

21:18.343 --> 21:19.743
Dig from here.

21:20.103 --> 21:22.183
After digging through these 3 walls,

21:22.623 --> 21:24.983
you will reach
the back wall of the prison.

21:25.263 --> 21:26.863
Leave from here at midnight,

21:27.503 --> 21:28.903
and you can definitely escape.

21:28.903 --> 21:29.543
Let me see.

21:29.543 --> 21:29.983
Let me see too.

21:29.983 --> 21:30.423
You...

21:31.183 --> 21:32.263
Give it to me!

21:34.263 --> 21:34.983
Give it to me!

21:35.263 --> 21:35.983
Let me take a look too!

21:35.983 --> 21:38.103
This person
is proficient in civil engineering.

21:38.103 --> 21:42.343
He knows how to observe
the terrain and weather,
[Grave Robber, Wang Shi'er]
and is also well-versed
in the Eight Diagrams Array.
Let me see!

21:42.583 --> 21:43.343
It's mine!

21:44.303 --> 21:44.823
Shoo!

21:44.823 --> 21:45.543
-Let me see!
-Don't snatch!

21:45.543 --> 21:46.103
Let me take a look!

21:46.103 --> 21:46.823
Let me see!

21:48.743 --> 21:49.423
Let me...

21:52.823 --> 21:54.743
Xiao Ran, a quack doctor.

21:55.103 --> 21:57.183
He's proficient at developing
various poisonous weeds.

21:57.183 --> 21:59.583
He was sued
for murder by a patient's family

21:59.663 --> 22:00.983
and was sentenced to death
with a reprieve.

22:00.983 --> 22:03.143
Doctor, save me.

22:16.863 --> 22:18.263
Doctor, is my disease...

22:18.863 --> 22:20.263
incurable?

22:21.583 --> 22:23.303
It's kidney deficiency.

22:23.303 --> 22:24.143
Kidney deficiency?

22:24.143 --> 22:26.343
What is kidney deficiency?

22:33.303 --> 22:37.143
[Jianghu Doctor,
Xiao Ran]

22:37.583 --> 22:38.623
He killed someone?

22:39.103 --> 22:40.063
Simply put,

22:40.183 --> 22:42.183
the patient he treated couldn't be cured.

22:42.183 --> 22:44.063
So he just fed him poison,

22:44.303 --> 22:45.463
saying that since he was
going to die anyway,

22:45.463 --> 22:47.663
he might as well test the poison for him.

22:48.503 --> 22:49.143
Qiao.

22:50.023 --> 22:51.263
Are these people you picked

22:51.263 --> 22:52.383
here to work for us

22:52.383 --> 22:53.583
or to take our lives?

22:54.823 --> 22:58.023
The Xiuli Army was also
a rebel army of Great Yan back then.

22:58.423 --> 23:01.543
Because they couldn't establish themselves
in Great Yong and Great Yan—

23:01.543 --> 23:02.903
leaving them with nowhere to go—

23:02.903 --> 23:04.503
they followed Yan Xun and me.

23:05.103 --> 23:06.023
These people

23:06.303 --> 23:07.143
are imprisoned

23:07.543 --> 23:08.583
and have skills.

23:09.103 --> 23:10.823
They were imprisoned
due to misfortune and accidents.

23:10.823 --> 23:13.023
They are far from being extremely wicked.

23:13.023 --> 23:14.943
They are just right to be used by us.

23:15.623 --> 23:16.223
All right.

23:16.663 --> 23:17.343
Qiao,

23:17.983 --> 23:19.103
you call the shoots.

23:29.303 --> 23:30.743
The one up ahead! Make way!

24:28.183 --> 24:28.823
Everyone.

24:29.183 --> 24:30.143
This restaurant

24:30.343 --> 24:32.823
originally belonged
to a friend of mine in the capital.

24:32.823 --> 24:34.143
Due to changes in his family,

24:34.143 --> 24:35.823
she was forced to leave Tangjing.

24:35.823 --> 24:36.583
Therefore,

24:36.783 --> 24:38.543
she left this restaurant to me.

24:39.063 --> 24:41.063
From now on, this restaurant

24:41.183 --> 24:44.583
will be our hiding and resting place.

24:45.343 --> 24:46.143
Friend?

24:46.783 --> 24:47.703
Female scammer.

24:48.543 --> 24:50.303
-Female scammer?
-Female scammer?

24:50.303 --> 24:53.463
Look at this dilapidated
and shabby restaurant

24:54.263 --> 24:55.543
full of holes.

24:55.543 --> 24:57.783
Do you know
how much she scammed from His Highness?

24:57.783 --> 24:58.303
This...

24:58.383 --> 24:58.943
Plus this...

24:58.943 --> 24:59.703
And this.

25:04.023 --> 25:04.663
Song Cheng.

25:04.983 --> 25:05.623
Your Highness.

25:05.623 --> 25:06.343
Come up.

25:08.583 --> 25:09.423
Your Highness.

25:11.663 --> 25:12.823
You've got a death wish?

25:12.823 --> 25:13.503
So full of nonsense.

25:13.503 --> 25:14.103
Your Highness!

25:14.103 --> 25:15.103
Full of nonsense.

25:15.863 --> 25:16.583
Get off!

25:18.783 --> 25:19.423
Everyone,

25:20.023 --> 25:23.103
this is
the current Crown Prince of Biantang.

25:23.863 --> 25:24.863
-Him?
-Him?

25:27.543 --> 25:29.183
This is the token
of my Crown Prince's Mansion.

25:29.183 --> 25:31.023
It has my father's seal on it.

25:33.823 --> 25:35.583
Take a good look at it.

25:36.343 --> 25:37.943
This is no ordinary...

25:41.103 --> 25:42.303
When did you get that?

25:42.423 --> 25:43.743
If you found out,

25:43.743 --> 25:44.823
how can I be called a master thief?

25:44.823 --> 25:45.343
I...

25:46.063 --> 25:48.303
Who knows if you're the real Crown Prince

25:49.183 --> 25:50.183
or a fake one?

25:52.863 --> 25:54.063
If you really are the Crown Prince,

25:54.063 --> 25:56.783
why don't you take us
to the Crown Prince's Mansion?

25:56.783 --> 25:58.183
Your teeth are very good.

25:58.303 --> 25:59.303
It means it's being taken care of.

25:59.303 --> 25:59.863
Scram.

26:08.903 --> 26:09.823
You know what?

26:10.543 --> 26:11.583
The belt on his body

26:11.583 --> 26:12.863
is indeed a royal item.

26:13.583 --> 26:15.223
I've seen this kind of pattern

26:15.223 --> 26:16.343
in Prince Su's tomb.

26:19.143 --> 26:20.583
Let me take a look too then.

26:26.543 --> 26:29.143
The ink pad color left on his fingers
are purple

26:29.343 --> 26:30.623
and wasn't washed off.

26:32.783 --> 26:35.743
There's a scent of pear blossom
and crabapple on his clothes.

26:35.743 --> 26:36.623
He must have passed through

26:36.623 --> 26:39.583
Shengan District and Minhe District
in the Xicheng.

26:39.663 --> 26:41.103
Besides the royal mansions, Xicheng

26:41.103 --> 26:43.623
is full of residences
of nobles and generals.

26:43.663 --> 26:45.423
He really is the Crown Prince?

26:50.983 --> 26:52.343
Your Highness!

26:52.343 --> 26:54.143
Your Highness!

26:54.143 --> 26:55.863
You are all convicted people.

26:56.303 --> 26:57.743
Whether you were wronged,

26:58.023 --> 26:59.543
made a mistake,

27:00.263 --> 27:01.623
or were forced,

27:01.863 --> 27:04.263
leaving you
with no choice but to go astray,

27:04.863 --> 27:07.343
His Highness
brought you out of prison today

27:07.903 --> 27:09.823
to give you a new choice.

27:10.583 --> 27:12.583
You can choose to serve His Highness

27:13.023 --> 27:15.503
and live a new life under a new identity.

29:10.663 --> 29:12.583
there seems to be a lantern festival
on Tianque Street tonight.

29:12.583 --> 29:14.103
There are pedestrians everywhere ahead.

29:14.103 --> 29:17.503
I'm afraid we have to take a detour
to return to the residence.

29:43.183 --> 29:46.783
♪ The dust in the world ♪

29:47.063 --> 29:50.503

30:37.903 --> 30:38.903
I have roughly figured out

30:38.903 --> 30:40.503
the locations within Tangjingcheng.

30:40.503 --> 30:42.103
Centered around the palace,

30:42.183 --> 30:44.263
the Six Ministries
are located in the southeast

30:44.263 --> 30:45.543
and southwest corners.

30:45.543 --> 30:47.623
And the official of the Ministry of Works,
Zhang Qingzhao, whom we are looking for,

30:47.623 --> 30:48.623
is not among the 6.

30:49.023 --> 30:51.423
He belongs to
the secret Manufacturing Bureau.

30:51.423 --> 30:53.263
The Manufacturing Bureau is responsible
for palace reconstruction,

30:53.263 --> 30:54.423
Tangjing's city defense,

30:54.423 --> 30:56.863
and the waterways
connecting Biantang with other countries.

30:56.863 --> 30:59.183
They control all the open and secret files
of Biantang's city defense.

30:59.183 --> 31:00.383
It's a confidential office.

31:00.383 --> 31:01.983
As for Zhang Qingzhao himself,

31:01.983 --> 31:04.103
it's difficult for an outsider
to find out about his whereabouts.

31:04.103 --> 31:05.423
Then where do we start?

31:06.063 --> 31:07.983
We can only use the dumbest method.

31:08.223 --> 31:09.343
The dumbest method?

31:18.583 --> 31:19.463
Princess Fu!

31:20.583 --> 31:21.263
Princess Fu.

31:21.263 --> 31:23.423
His Highness and I
specially prepared this for you.

31:23.423 --> 31:24.303
Do you like it?

31:24.583 --> 31:26.543
Zi Ming prepared all these for you.

31:26.703 --> 31:28.903
She wanted to celebrate your birthday.

31:30.143 --> 31:32.703
Today is Princess Fu's birthday.

31:36.703 --> 31:37.543
No need.

31:37.983 --> 31:40.183
I'm not used to celebrating birthdays.

31:40.303 --> 31:40.983
Princess Fu,

31:40.983 --> 31:42.983
my family declined when I was young,

31:43.103 --> 31:44.303
and I was sold as a slave.

31:44.303 --> 31:45.863
It's all thanks to His Highness
for saving me,

31:45.863 --> 31:47.183
and you for taking me in.

31:47.503 --> 31:48.503
I am grateful,

31:48.503 --> 31:51.143
so I sincerely want to
celebrate your birthday.

31:53.423 --> 31:54.143
Princess Fu,

31:54.223 --> 31:55.623
take a look at this first.

31:59.943 --> 32:01.103
This pair of agate bracelets

32:01.103 --> 32:02.663
symbolizes two flowers
growing on one stalk.

32:02.663 --> 32:04.463
It means I wish you and His Highness

32:04.463 --> 32:06.303
a long and lasting relationship.

32:07.063 --> 32:07.823
No need.

32:08.023 --> 32:10.143
I don't usually like wearing jewelry.

32:11.383 --> 32:12.103
Let's eat.

32:17.103 --> 32:17.703
Princess,

32:17.823 --> 32:19.023
this is Hong River fish.

32:19.023 --> 32:19.943
It's very rare.

32:23.183 --> 32:24.823
Do you not like this fish either?

32:24.823 --> 32:25.343
I...

32:25.783 --> 32:26.983
I'm choking on a bone.

32:42.103 --> 32:44.423
Are you surprised? Are you shocked?

32:44.423 --> 32:45.903
What are you trying to do?

32:45.983 --> 32:46.583
Fu.

32:47.583 --> 32:49.823
Zi Ming was being ridiculous last night.

32:50.023 --> 32:51.743
You've also been going out early
and coming back late these days.

32:51.743 --> 32:53.023
You must be very tired.

32:53.543 --> 32:56.543
So I specially designed
this house-carriage for you.

32:57.063 --> 32:59.223
House-carriage?

33:03.543 --> 33:05.063
Please get on, Fu,

33:05.263 --> 33:06.623
to the house-carriage.

33:08.663 --> 33:09.303
Qiao.

33:10.223 --> 33:10.943
Look.

33:11.583 --> 33:12.983
In this house-carriage,

33:13.383 --> 33:15.303
you can not only rest and drink tea,

33:15.943 --> 33:18.343
but also stay overnight
and use the toilet.

33:19.703 --> 33:20.943
This small icebox

33:21.023 --> 33:22.063
can store some guiling jelly

33:22.063 --> 33:24.103
and rose drink in summer.

33:24.383 --> 33:26.703
They're for you to stay rested
and refresh yourself

33:26.703 --> 33:27.583
on the road.

33:28.103 --> 33:28.703
How is it?

33:29.863 --> 33:30.583
Not bad.

33:33.103 --> 33:34.263
Thank you,

33:34.263 --> 33:36.223
our dashing

33:36.223 --> 33:37.463
and charming Crown Prince,

33:37.463 --> 33:38.183
Handsome Li.

33:38.863 --> 33:41.303
It's just a small token of my regard.
Don't mention it.

33:41.303 --> 33:42.663
Oh, right, Handsome Li.

33:42.863 --> 33:44.503
I have something to ask of you.

33:44.863 --> 33:45.463
Go ahead.

33:45.543 --> 33:47.383
You are going to be an envoy
in one the coming days

33:47.383 --> 33:48.383
accompanying Zhuge Yue?

33:48.383 --> 33:49.143
Yes, Qiao.

33:49.303 --> 33:50.103
What's wrong?

33:51.983 --> 33:54.183
Based on my understanding of Zhuge Yue,

33:54.503 --> 33:56.863
his visit to Biantang this time
is not simple.

33:56.863 --> 33:58.463
He must have his own purpose.

33:58.663 --> 33:59.863
Whether it's for Ximeng

33:59.863 --> 34:01.103
or for himself—

34:01.583 --> 34:03.063
you must be careful.

34:05.583 --> 34:08.903
Also,
[Tangjing, Biantang]
tell me everywhere he goes to
those few days.

34:09.103 --> 34:11.023
This is the main street of Tangjing.

34:11.023 --> 34:12.623
It's called Tianque Street.

34:12.663 --> 34:14.583
There are 64 districts in Tangjing.

34:14.583 --> 34:15.983
Tianque Street and the palace

34:15.983 --> 34:17.183
splits it into half.

34:17.503 --> 34:19.423
There are 32 workshops on each side.

34:19.423 --> 34:21.143
There are two markets
both in the east and west.

34:21.143 --> 34:23.303
The east market is mostly restaurants

34:23.463 --> 34:24.383
and theaters.

34:25.143 --> 34:27.463
The west market sells silk, gold, jade,

34:27.743 --> 34:28.903
spices, herbs,

34:29.063 --> 34:30.503
and even rare animals.

34:32.263 --> 34:34.023
There are 4 canals

34:34.183 --> 34:35.263
in Tangjingcheng.

34:35.663 --> 34:38.663
Among them, Furong Canal
leads to the southeast of the city,

34:38.663 --> 34:41.343
which is the Imperial Garden
built by my father.

34:41.663 --> 34:43.663
Jinshui River leads to the northwest,

34:43.663 --> 34:46.623
where 12 ancient temples
are located in the suburbs.

34:47.023 --> 34:48.623
Don't forget the purpose of this trip.

34:48.623 --> 34:50.423
We are not here for sightseeing.

34:51.223 --> 34:52.423
I can't do this anymore.

34:52.423 --> 34:53.103
Zhuge—

34:54.183 --> 34:55.063
King of Ximeng,

34:55.223 --> 34:57.023
we've been walking for a few days.

34:57.023 --> 34:58.583
You've visited everywhere in Biantang,

34:58.583 --> 35:00.503
from government offices
to brothels and theaters.

35:00.503 --> 35:01.663
Haven't you seen enough?

35:01.663 --> 35:02.463
Besides,

35:02.463 --> 35:04.223
what's so good about watchtowers?

35:04.223 --> 35:06.023
This is already the third one
we've climbed today.

35:06.023 --> 35:06.863
Your Highness,

35:06.863 --> 35:08.903
how many watchtowers like this are there

35:08.903 --> 35:10.063
in Tangjingcheng in total?

35:10.063 --> 35:10.903
There are...

35:13.463 --> 35:14.183
30 in total.

35:14.823 --> 35:15.703
Your Highness,

35:15.983 --> 35:16.943
it's 130.

35:17.783 --> 35:19.303
You call this 130?

35:19.303 --> 35:20.503
Isn't this 130?

35:21.463 --> 35:21.983
I...

35:24.063 --> 35:25.063
130.

35:25.063 --> 35:26.663
Let's go look at the next one.

35:46.943 --> 35:50.383
The audience has assembled.
The show begins.

35:50.503 --> 35:51.103
Xing'er,

35:51.663 --> 35:53.383
I know you have many questions,

35:53.503 --> 35:55.103
and I owe you some explanations.

35:55.103 --> 35:56.423
I don't know why,

35:57.023 --> 35:58.303
but my feelings for him

35:58.823 --> 36:00.463
make me hurt so much.

36:04.583 --> 36:05.623
You mean

36:05.943 --> 36:08.263
these stitches might be some kind of code?

36:08.463 --> 36:09.503
I asked you to meet here

36:09.503 --> 36:10.903
to discuss a cooperation with you.
