16:52.863 --> 16:54.703
This dagger cuts iron like it's nothing,

16:54.863 --> 16:56.463
a rare treasure in this world.

16:58.383 --> 16:59.383
Thank you.

17:01.703 --> 17:02.863
What are you grinning at?

17:05.743 --> 17:06.703
Sit down.

17:07.663 --> 17:09.583
They're being all lovey-dovey.

17:09.583 --> 17:10.583
What's so great about watching them?

17:11.103 --> 17:12.663
You're only allowed to look at me.

17:13.663 --> 17:14.543
All right.

17:14.703 --> 17:15.863
I'll only look at you.

17:16.063 --> 17:17.983
Your Highness is the cutest man in the world,

17:18.023 --> 17:18.503
the most handsome,

17:18.543 --> 17:19.543
and the most fun.

17:19.623 --> 17:20.863
You're the only one in my heart and in my eyes.

17:20.863 --> 17:21.623
Satisfied now?

17:46.103 --> 17:47.823
Your Majesty really hides your talents well.

17:47.863 --> 17:49.143
You roast meat

17:49.143 --> 17:51.783
as well as any master cook in the martial world.

17:53.063 --> 17:54.463
That's because when he was little,

17:54.463 --> 17:55.663
he went through too much hardship.

17:58.383 --> 17:59.703
It's all in the past.

17:59.863 --> 18:00.903
No need to bring it up.

18:03.383 --> 18:04.023
Here.

18:08.863 --> 18:09.783
Smells amazing!

18:12.543 --> 18:13.703
Zhong Lin, have a taste.

18:18.943 --> 18:19.783
Delicious!

18:20.103 --> 18:20.863
So good!

18:22.343 --> 18:24.863
My grilled fish is just as carefully made.

18:24.863 --> 18:26.503
Don't play favorites, okay?

18:26.863 --> 18:27.623
Zhong Lin, here.

18:27.863 --> 18:28.623
Have a taste.

18:32.063 --> 18:32.823
Cangcang,

18:32.863 --> 18:33.703
after you.

18:47.623 --> 18:48.663
What's wrong, Cangcang?

18:51.143 --> 18:52.063
Nothing.

18:52.583 --> 18:53.943
Maybe today's fish...

18:55.223 --> 18:56.383
is a bit fishy.

19:00.423 --> 19:01.223
Let me smell.

19:07.103 --> 19:08.183
It doesn't smell fishy.

19:09.303 --> 19:11.063
You usually love fish the most.

19:11.303 --> 19:12.623
Why the change in taste today?

19:13.143 --> 19:13.783
No way.

19:14.103 --> 19:15.823
The fish I grilled could never be fishy.

19:28.463 --> 19:29.783
I told you, I'm fine.

19:29.823 --> 19:31.063
Don't get so worked up.

19:31.903 --> 19:33.663
You couple

19:34.063 --> 19:36.543
should really let me worry less!

19:49.903 --> 19:50.703
Physician Li,

19:51.623 --> 19:53.943
is there something wrong with her health?

20:01.703 --> 20:02.543
Your Majesty...

20:04.543 --> 20:05.543
you'd better

20:06.823 --> 20:07.943
get ready.

20:13.143 --> 20:13.903
Get ready?

20:15.143 --> 20:16.543
Get ready for what?

20:24.183 --> 20:26.463
Her Majesty is carrying your child!

20:26.863 --> 20:29.703
Get ready to be a father.

20:35.343 --> 20:36.743
So you mean

20:37.583 --> 20:39.703
she is pregnant?

20:40.183 --> 20:43.543
- Congratulations, Your Majesty! - Congratulations, Your Majesty.

20:43.583 --> 20:46.503
- Congratulations, Her Majesty! - Congratulations, Her Majesty.

20:47.703 --> 20:48.583
Although in the past,

20:48.583 --> 20:50.943
Her Majesty's health took some damage,

20:51.143 --> 20:54.143
thankfully her constitution is still very strong,

20:54.183 --> 20:55.503
and

20:55.863 --> 20:56.663
so is yours.

20:57.303 --> 20:58.303
In a moment,

20:58.343 --> 21:00.583
I'll prescribe some medicine to protect the baby.

21:00.863 --> 21:03.743
You must take it regularly

21:04.103 --> 21:07.103
and must not overwork yourself again.

21:07.143 --> 21:07.903
You two really are trying

21:07.903 --> 21:10.503
to smash my good reputation,

21:10.543 --> 21:11.343
aren't you?

21:13.623 --> 21:14.383
Physician Li,

21:14.863 --> 21:16.303
for these next ten months,

21:16.623 --> 21:18.943
I hope you can stay here in the Capital.

21:19.183 --> 21:20.143
You brat,

21:20.143 --> 21:22.423
now you want to chain me here?

21:23.143 --> 21:23.663
Fine.

21:24.023 --> 21:25.623
From now on, your married life

21:25.623 --> 21:27.303
is my responsibility.

21:30.783 --> 21:32.063
What are you all standing around for?

21:32.103 --> 21:33.263
Get out!

21:38.623 --> 21:39.863
Thank you, Physician Li.

21:53.183 --> 21:53.983
Cangcang,

21:55.383 --> 21:56.143
thank you.

22:22.703 --> 22:24.103
I heard you went to Wuying Hall.

22:25.063 --> 22:26.423
Did His Majesty make things hard for you?

22:27.423 --> 22:28.223
No.

22:29.863 --> 22:31.703
I showed him most of my sincerity.

22:32.623 --> 22:34.743
Even with all the resentment in his heart,

22:35.783 --> 22:37.983
we've helped each other after all.

22:39.143 --> 22:42.063
I figured he'd remember that bond

22:44.103 --> 22:45.383
and show me some mercy.

22:50.383 --> 22:51.343
Even if there's trust,

22:52.303 --> 22:53.343
it's not like before.

22:53.383 --> 22:54.703
It doesn't have to be!

22:57.663 --> 22:58.583
In his eyes,

23:00.543 --> 23:01.863
I never mattered much.

23:07.543 --> 23:08.303
That's true.

23:27.943 --> 23:29.583
I know you really

23:31.063 --> 23:33.143
have my best interests at heart.

23:36.303 --> 23:37.063
Madam,

23:38.143 --> 23:39.383
you don't have to force yourself.

23:40.783 --> 23:42.423
I know you're unhappy today.

23:42.903 --> 23:45.103
Why would I be unhappy?

23:47.143 --> 23:47.943
His Majesty...

23:48.383 --> 23:50.623
finally has an heir.

23:50.623 --> 23:52.703
We should be happy for him!

23:54.183 --> 23:57.423
We should be celebrating!

23:59.423 --> 24:00.703
I just don't understand

24:00.943 --> 24:02.503
how the Xiao family can live so happily

24:02.543 --> 24:04.343
after ruining my mother!

24:10.023 --> 24:10.943
It's not fair!

24:18.103 --> 24:19.743
[Linghe Hall]

24:35.383 --> 24:36.183
Your Majesty,

24:36.823 --> 24:38.463
forgive me for the offense.

24:38.823 --> 24:39.543
Search the place!

25:28.463 --> 25:29.223
Cangcang,

25:30.023 --> 25:32.303
can you explain what all this is?

25:33.983 --> 25:35.463
Why can't you keep the promises

25:35.503 --> 25:36.343
you made to me?

25:36.823 --> 25:38.223
I was just reading them.

25:39.063 --> 25:40.303
I didn't mean anything else.

25:40.903 --> 25:41.703
Besides,

25:42.303 --> 25:43.463
those street tales,

25:43.783 --> 25:45.183
sometimes,

25:45.743 --> 25:46.463
they're...

25:47.743 --> 25:49.303
not as thrilling as ghost stories.

25:51.223 --> 25:52.503
Isn't martial arts enough?

25:52.543 --> 25:53.263
No.

25:53.783 --> 25:54.583
Not exciting enough.

26:07.303 --> 26:09.383
Don't be mad.

26:12.303 --> 26:13.303
Mr. Bai.

26:14.343 --> 26:15.143
Dear Bai.

26:19.903 --> 26:21.023
Mr. Bai.

26:21.663 --> 26:22.823
Dear Bai.

26:22.863 --> 26:24.063
That won't work on me.

26:24.583 --> 26:25.343
No, really...

26:25.823 --> 26:28.063
they're actually quite good.

26:29.863 --> 26:31.143
Let me show you.

26:33.343 --> 26:34.423
Just read this one.

26:35.583 --> 26:38.103
It's the story of Swallow Eight.

26:38.303 --> 26:39.863
She can catch demons,

26:39.983 --> 26:41.503
but she's actually a demon herself.

26:42.223 --> 26:44.703
Later she's killed for drinking too much,

26:44.863 --> 26:46.463
then she turns into a woman

26:46.783 --> 26:48.703
and falls for the man who killed her.

26:54.343 --> 26:55.063
And this one.

26:56.503 --> 26:57.823
It's really good too.

26:58.583 --> 26:59.103
Let me show you.

26:59.303 --> 26:59.903
This one

26:59.983 --> 27:01.623
[Qiaozhong Monster]
is about a male ghost.

27:01.743 --> 27:03.863
He always puts a robe

27:03.903 --> 27:05.223
over the woman he loves

27:05.543 --> 27:07.263
after she falls asleep.

27:07.623 --> 27:09.103
It's actually a very heartwarming story.

27:12.303 --> 27:13.103
Really!

27:13.303 --> 27:14.063
If you don't believe me,

27:15.303 --> 27:17.343
you can ask Eunuch Feng.

27:19.823 --> 27:20.583
Right?

27:24.543 --> 27:25.303
Yes...

27:26.263 --> 27:27.703
Ever since Her Majesty

27:27.743 --> 27:29.543
first told me that story,

27:29.863 --> 27:31.983
I've been full of energy when helping you

27:32.023 --> 27:33.183
with memorials,

27:33.263 --> 27:34.543
not sleepy at all.

27:43.023 --> 27:43.823
And there

27:44.343 --> 27:45.623
are even more stories like that.

27:45.623 --> 27:46.543
All right, Cangcang.

27:46.903 --> 27:47.703
Earlier,

27:47.903 --> 27:49.303
I've specially looked up some classics.

27:50.023 --> 27:51.943
The mother of King Wen of Zhou

27:51.983 --> 27:53.023
never looked at anything improper

27:53.303 --> 27:54.583
or listened to anything unpleasant

27:54.583 --> 27:55.743
when she was pregnant.

27:56.143 --> 27:57.743
That's what they call prenatal education.

27:58.823 --> 27:59.623
Prenatal education?

28:01.583 --> 28:02.303
So...

28:02.343 --> 28:03.063
So,

28:03.503 --> 28:05.903
I've specially picked out this book,

28:06.383 --> 28:07.903
Tales of Rivers and Mountains,

28:08.263 --> 28:10.063
full of travel notes and insights.

28:10.303 --> 28:11.743
You can read it properly.

28:13.583 --> 28:15.183
Come on, sit back down.

28:25.743 --> 28:26.463
Wufu.

28:32.063 --> 28:32.863
Here.

28:40.503 --> 28:41.583
So many words,

28:42.263 --> 28:43.623
packed so tightly.

28:43.623 --> 28:44.343
[Tales of Rivers and Mountains]

28:44.343 --> 28:46.223
How am I supposed to get through this?

28:47.503 --> 28:48.263
It's all right.

28:48.823 --> 28:49.703
I can

28:50.063 --> 28:51.383
read it to you slowly.

28:56.223 --> 28:57.063
Once we're done,

28:57.383 --> 28:59.103
you have to eat properly.

29:00.023 --> 29:00.983
What would you like to eat?

29:04.303 --> 29:05.063
I...

29:05.063 --> 29:06.783
Five-spice crispy fish.

29:12.343 --> 29:13.343
No.

29:14.063 --> 29:15.063
Smells fishy.

Next.

29:22.143 --> 29:23.983
Crystal mutton jelly.

29:30.063 --> 29:30.823
Next.

29:31.823 --> 29:33.423
Stuffed eight-treasure duck.

29:39.503 --> 29:40.983
You don't even want that?

29:42.103 --> 29:43.103
No.

29:43.103 --> 29:44.143
I'm not hungry.

29:45.303 --> 29:46.063
Maybe...

29:46.583 --> 29:47.943
just don't serve anything.

29:48.743 --> 29:49.983
Since she has no appetite,

29:50.063 --> 29:50.943
take it all away.

29:50.983 --> 29:51.903
Out of the palace,

29:51.903 --> 29:53.583
I ran around so many restaurants for you.

29:53.583 --> 29:54.783
My legs nearly broke.

29:54.823 --> 29:56.703
And she doesn't even want a single dish!

29:56.903 --> 29:59.183
My reputation's already taken a hit,

29:59.263 --> 30:00.783
and you clear everything away

30:00.823 --> 30:01.863
and won't even let me eat?

30:01.903 --> 30:02.983

30:03.103 --> 30:04.503
anything greasy.

30:05.583 --> 30:06.463
Take it all away.

30:06.623 --> 30:07.543
What a waste.

30:08.303 --> 30:10.183
Pack it all up and take it to my manor.

32:41.743 --> 32:46.023
the old incense was for clearing the head

32:46.063 --> 32:46.903
and wasn't the best for you now.

32:47.103 --> 32:50.183
So he wants this gentler blend instead,

32:50.183 --> 32:53.463
to keep Your Majesty relaxed every day.

32:54.543 --> 32:55.303
Very well.

32:58.223 --> 32:59.023
All right.

33:02.183 --> 33:02.983
Xiaoshan,

33:03.183 --> 33:04.503
go bring me my sword.

33:04.543 --> 33:05.823
I'm in the mood today.

33:06.343 --> 33:07.223
No!

33:07.543 --> 33:08.383
Your Majesty,

33:08.703 --> 33:10.903
you're not well right now.

33:11.103 --> 33:12.343
You mustn't practice swordplay.

33:12.583 --> 33:13.543
I can't do this either?

33:18.223 --> 33:20.703
I was once the proud leader of Fenglai Pavilion,

33:20.983 --> 33:21.783
and now

33:21.983 --> 33:24.103
I've become some pampered hothouse flower?

33:25.223 --> 33:26.023
Forget it.

33:27.423 --> 33:28.343
Your Majesty, where are you going?

33:28.383 --> 33:29.823
His Majesty said you mustn't run around.

33:31.623 --> 33:33.143
I'm going to find him, all right?

33:35.983 --> 33:36.743
Your Majesty...

33:44.063 --> 33:44.823
Your Majesty.

33:47.263 --> 33:48.063
Cangcang!

33:53.943 --> 33:54.863
What brings you here?

33:55.263 --> 33:56.743
I'm here to take you back.

33:57.343 --> 33:59.063
Xiaoshan watches me all day,

33:59.343 --> 34:00.143
saying you told her

34:00.143 --> 34:01.223
I can't do this

34:01.223 --> 34:02.463
and I can't do that.

34:03.063 --> 34:04.743
I'm about to turn into a complete invalid.

34:07.263 --> 34:09.143
I wouldn't even mind being useless,

34:09.143 --> 34:09.983
but...

34:10.543 --> 34:12.983
could you at least not take away my freedom?

34:14.383 --> 34:15.143
Cangcang,

34:15.743 --> 34:17.063
it's all for your own good.

34:17.623 --> 34:19.263
Once Physician Li says you can move around,

34:19.263 --> 34:20.623
you'll have more freedom.

34:22.383 --> 34:23.143
All right.

34:24.583 --> 34:26.543
Then until Physician Li nods,

34:27.263 --> 34:28.423
I promise

34:28.743 --> 34:29.823
I'll behave myself.

34:30.463 --> 34:31.223
Good.

34:31.543 --> 34:32.223
Come on.

34:32.223 --> 34:33.503
Let's go back to Linghe Hall.

34:33.583 --> 34:34.383
Let's go.

34:45.463 --> 34:46.063
Wufu.

34:46.063 --> 34:46.703
Yes, Your Majesty.

34:46.703 --> 34:49.063
Double-check everything the Empress eats or uses.

34:49.063 --> 34:50.183
No errors are allowed.

34:50.183 --> 34:50.743
Understood.

34:53.103 --> 34:55.303
You'll personally keep watch over the guards at Linghe Hall.

34:55.343 --> 34:55.983
Understood.

34:57.543 --> 34:58.303
Your Majesty,

34:59.183 --> 35:00.903
isn't this a bit much?

35:08.423 --> 35:09.543
But don't worry.

35:09.583 --> 35:11.583
I'll keep an eye on my mother.

35:11.583 --> 35:13.503
We'll see your heir safely born.

35:14.623 --> 35:15.423
All right.

35:16.943 --> 35:18.183
How are things at Deer Courtyard?

35:18.783 --> 35:19.943
Your father-in-law works the fields there every day.

35:20.143 --> 35:21.943
He caught a slight chill recently and has been coughing.

35:22.383 --> 35:23.583
The imperial physicians have seen him.

35:23.583 --> 35:24.383
Aside from that,

35:24.503 --> 35:25.343
nothing unusual.

35:26.183 --> 35:27.423
Make sure he's well taken care of.

35:28.023 --> 35:28.783
After all,

35:29.183 --> 35:30.143
he's getting old.

35:30.903 --> 35:31.703
Understood.

35:33.343 --> 35:34.703
Add some coltsfoot blossoms.

35:35.343 --> 35:37.583
They're very good for easing the cough.

35:41.143 --> 35:41.943
Here, Madam.

35:52.223 --> 35:53.703
"Shi Yan will launch a surprise attack

35:53.703 --> 35:56.583
on Lingbi Sect's Langye Mountain branch in two days."

36:00.383 --> 36:02.103
Leak this news to Lingbi Sect.

36:04.703 --> 36:06.703
But won't that put Shi Yan in danger?

36:06.703 --> 36:08.143
If something happens to Shi Yan,

36:08.583 --> 36:10.423
what will Li Hongqing do?

36:12.503 --> 36:13.983
With the commander of the Imperial Guards away,

36:15.583 --> 36:17.503
you, the deputy commander,

36:17.703 --> 36:19.063
can serve a greater purpose.

36:24.583 --> 36:25.103
Understood.

36:25.583 --> 36:27.263
That mad princess in the palace

36:27.583 --> 36:28.703
is still

36:29.583 --> 36:31.783
a clever move we haven't even played.

36:58.183 --> 36:58.983
Saintess.

36:59.343 --> 37:00.543
I have received word

37:00.703 --> 37:01.863
that the Emperor's Xiaoxing Guards

37:01.903 --> 37:03.943
plans to strike Lingbi Sect's Langye Mountain branch.

37:11.983 --> 37:14.463
[Saintess, Lingbi Sect]

37:20.983 --> 37:21.903
Is the report accurate?

37:22.583 --> 37:23.343
Yes.

37:24.063 --> 37:25.903
Shi Yan meant to strike straight at the heart

37:26.183 --> 37:28.343
and take the Langye Mountain branch in one blow.

37:28.703 --> 37:29.943
But he walked into an ambush.

37:31.783 --> 37:33.103
Though the Ghost King is dead

37:33.863 --> 37:35.383
and they're now headless,

37:35.583 --> 37:37.343
they've been in the martial world for years

37:37.583 --> 37:38.863
and are hard to wipe out completely.

37:39.503 --> 37:41.463
Earlier, Zhu Sha mentioned the Saintess,

37:41.903 --> 37:43.543
saying she's their true master.

37:45.343 --> 37:46.503
I request permission to set out

37:46.623 --> 37:47.583
to bring Shi Yan back

37:47.623 --> 37:49.783
and uncover the truth for Your Majesty.

37:50.783 --> 37:51.383
All right.

37:51.983 --> 37:52.983
Then be careful.

38:00.223 --> 38:01.023
Commander Li.

38:05.703 --> 38:06.743
What did you need from me?

38:06.863 --> 38:07.983
I'm leaving on urgent business.

38:08.063 --> 38:10.023
The palace patrols and His Majesty's safety

38:10.063 --> 38:10.823
will be in your hands.

38:10.863 --> 38:11.783
We're buddies.

38:11.863 --> 38:13.023
No need to be so formal.

38:13.503 --> 38:14.263
Besides,

38:14.423 --> 38:16.183
this is all part of my duty.

38:17.343 --> 38:18.103
Also,

38:18.263 --> 38:19.143
over at the cold palace,

38:19.583 --> 38:20.983
no more than three lamps are allowed.

38:21.103 --> 38:22.623
All lamps must be out by the hour of Xu.

38:22.783 --> 38:24.103
Though that's the servants' task,

38:24.343 --> 38:25.623
have the men keep an eye on it too.

38:25.703 --> 38:27.023
Ask them to help watch it.

38:28.343 --> 38:29.103
Three lamps.

38:29.183 --> 38:29.983
Hour of Xu.

38:30.063 --> 38:30.823
No problem.

38:31.383 --> 38:32.143
Thank you.

38:32.583 --> 38:33.343
Oh, yes.

38:34.063 --> 38:35.183
You know

38:35.263 --> 38:36.343
what the princess is like.

38:36.783 --> 38:38.303
I'm afraid the guys won't handle her well

38:38.783 --> 38:39.983
and make her unhappy.

38:40.983 --> 38:41.703
It's fine.

38:42.503 --> 38:43.703
Just coax her and say

38:44.383 --> 38:45.623
as long as she doesn't get mad

38:45.943 --> 38:46.783
or hit anyone,

38:47.543 --> 38:48.863
the flower will bloom soon.

39:29.263 --> 39:30.503
What kind of flower is it?

39:32.743 --> 39:34.223
Honestly, I'm not quite sure.

39:35.183 --> 39:36.383
But once it blooms,

39:36.743 --> 39:37.983
we'll know.

39:42.983 --> 39:44.783
I'll take good care of it.

39:44.863 --> 39:48.783
I'll make sure it grows up well and blossoms.

39:49.383 --> 39:51.103
Then we can see what it looks like together.

40:11.103 --> 40:13.623
I'm not eating until Hongqing comes back.

40:14.183 --> 40:15.223
Your Highness,

40:15.383 --> 40:17.463
Commander Li will be gone for quite a few days.

40:17.583 --> 40:18.863
You'll ruin your health if you starve.

40:18.983 --> 40:19.983
We can't have that.

40:24.023 --> 40:24.823
All right then.

40:25.423 --> 40:27.103
I should be more understanding.

40:29.143 --> 40:29.943
Then,

40:30.583 --> 40:32.423
I'll eat ten bites today,

40:32.743 --> 40:34.303
nine bites tomorrow...

40:35.223 --> 40:37.263
If he still isn't back in ten days,

40:38.063 --> 40:39.583
I won't eat a single bite!

40:40.343 --> 40:41.223
Your Highness,

40:41.223 --> 40:41.903
this...

40:41.943 --> 40:43.503
this absolutely won't do!

40:43.583 --> 40:44.783
Let me talk to Her Highness.

40:49.423 --> 40:50.263
Get out.

40:52.623 --> 40:53.583
I don't like you.
