00:12.743 --> 00:14.503
Didn't you want to be Queen Chu?

00:15.103 --> 00:17.503
Haven't you always wanted to replace her?

00:18.383 --> 00:19.863
I'm giving you the chance.

00:22.303 --> 00:24.023
Why aren't you taking it?

00:26.503 --> 00:27.023
I...

00:28.143 --> 00:29.023
didn't...

00:38.303 --> 00:39.103
Your Majesty,

00:39.663 --> 00:42.263
I have nothing but admiration for the bond
between you and Queen Chu,

00:42.263 --> 00:43.663
and no trace of jealousy.

00:44.423 --> 00:45.663
If my death

00:46.023 --> 00:48.303
could make Queen Chu
change her mind and return to you,

00:48.303 --> 00:50.703
I would willingly die before you
right now.

00:51.663 --> 00:53.383
You won't die like this.

00:53.663 --> 00:55.023
Let me tell you...

00:56.023 --> 00:57.263
where to stab...

00:59.023 --> 01:00.663
to kill yourself.

01:14.663 --> 01:15.303
Leave!

01:58.343 --> 01:59.303
My Lady.

02:09.143 --> 02:10.063
You are injured?

02:11.103 --> 02:12.423
I'll go get you some medicine.

02:12.423 --> 02:13.303
Leave me alone.

02:14.263 --> 02:15.383
I didn't betray you.

02:16.423 --> 02:18.423
You don't need to pretend to be kind.

02:18.863 --> 02:20.143
Since I agreed to cooperate with you,

02:20.143 --> 02:21.423
I will keep my promise.

02:22.303 --> 02:23.423
You can go back now.

02:24.143 --> 02:25.623
Since it's a cooperation,

02:25.863 --> 02:27.583
it means we share the same goal.

02:28.063 --> 02:29.943
You are not just doing this for me,

02:30.263 --> 02:32.903
but also to fulfill your role
as Consort Helian.

02:33.143 --> 02:34.823
You chose this path yourself.

02:35.103 --> 02:37.023
From the beginning, you should have known

02:37.023 --> 02:38.343
that life around Yan Xun

02:39.543 --> 02:40.223
is not easy.

02:47.623 --> 02:49.623
If I hadn't become Consort Helian,

02:51.703 --> 02:53.063
I would already have been

02:53.063 --> 02:56.063
the fourth concubine
of Elder Tubu of Hongchuan Tribe.

02:56.063 --> 02:57.903
I am a daughter of the Helian family.

02:57.903 --> 03:00.463
Helian Tribe is the smallest
among the Great Yan tribes.

03:00.463 --> 03:02.383
This is a fate I cannot change.

03:02.903 --> 03:04.103
Ever since I was born,

03:04.623 --> 03:07.063
I knew that all the tribal elders
of Great Yan

03:07.063 --> 03:09.983
had their eyes on us,

03:10.863 --> 03:13.863
always wanting to divide
and swallow Helian Tribe.

03:16.743 --> 03:18.103
And my brother...

03:20.303 --> 03:22.823
He never once stopped waiting for me
to grow up,

03:22.823 --> 03:23.983
thinking of using me

03:24.423 --> 03:25.303
in exchange for

03:25.303 --> 03:27.463
a few horses and grazing lands.

03:30.303 --> 03:32.423
Do you think I had any better choice

03:32.423 --> 03:34.543
than becoming Consort Helian?

03:36.023 --> 03:37.423
Even my maids know

03:38.023 --> 03:40.783
Yan Xun has never truly spent the night
in my room.

03:41.383 --> 03:42.623
You think I don't know?

03:42.743 --> 03:44.423
He just wanted to silence the gossip

03:44.423 --> 03:45.183
by giving me this

03:45.183 --> 03:46.943
pitiful and ridiculous title.

04:00.543 --> 04:01.623
What are you doing?

04:03.503 --> 04:04.303
Don't move.

04:05.223 --> 04:06.423
Your foot is injured.

04:07.623 --> 04:08.743
I'll carry you back.

05:39.543 --> 05:44.783
[REBIRTH]

05:45.263 --> 05:47.903
[Episode 19]

05:49.743 --> 05:50.503
Yan Qing,

05:50.983 --> 05:54.103
is there any news from the person
we sent to Zhan's Mansion yesterday?

05:54.103 --> 05:54.903
Your Majesty,

05:55.063 --> 05:55.863
not yet.

05:56.543 --> 05:58.903
But he is still waiting at Zhan's Mansion.

05:59.023 --> 06:00.863
He said that as soon as there's news
about Lord Zhan,

06:00.863 --> 06:02.503
he will come to the palace to report.

06:02.503 --> 06:03.623
He went yesterday.

06:04.183 --> 06:06.063
Why is there still no news?

06:06.543 --> 06:08.023
Don't worry, Your Majesty.

06:08.023 --> 06:09.783
Today is the 15th.

06:09.943 --> 06:11.703
His Majesty has been ill for a long time.

06:11.703 --> 06:13.463
The officials are all at Xiangtian Hall,

06:13.463 --> 06:15.663
waiting for you to pray for His Majesty.

06:43.463 --> 06:45.663
Recently, His Majesty has been unwell.

06:46.423 --> 06:49.863
I will personally pray to the ancestors

06:50.063 --> 06:51.863
to bless him.

06:51.863 --> 06:53.743
Xiangtian Hall is a sacred place.

06:53.823 --> 06:55.903
You should not disturb it.

06:56.343 --> 06:57.743
Yes, Your Majesty.

07:03.223 --> 07:04.503
Ancestors above,

07:05.143 --> 07:08.343
may you bless Biantang with peace

07:08.383 --> 07:10.183
and stability for generations,

07:10.183 --> 07:13.223
and may our Emperor receive the protection
of his forebears,

07:13.223 --> 07:15.223
enjoying long life and good health.

08:04.743 --> 08:05.623
Nobody move!

08:10.183 --> 08:11.303
It's you.

08:11.863 --> 08:13.263
What exactly do you want?

08:13.383 --> 08:15.663
Why do you have Zhan Ziyu's jade pendant?

08:15.823 --> 08:17.183
Zhan Ziyu is dead.

08:18.423 --> 08:20.023
I want to make a deal with you.

08:20.503 --> 08:21.543
You let Li Ce go,

08:21.943 --> 08:23.463
and I will keep your secret.

08:23.703 --> 08:25.143
Let's each take a step back

08:25.383 --> 08:27.063
and leave each other a way out.

08:27.383 --> 08:29.463
Why would I need a way out?

08:29.743 --> 08:31.743
Zhan Ziyu's identity is not simple.

08:32.103 --> 08:34.543
Back then, when the Biantang Emperor
carried out a purge of the Nanxi Tribe,

08:34.543 --> 08:36.663
Zhan Ziyu survived by a stroke of luck.

08:36.703 --> 08:37.983
You took him in

08:38.503 --> 08:41.783
and used him to train the Nanxi people
as suicide warriors.

08:42.223 --> 08:45.383
The assassination attempt in Qinzheng Hall
on His Majesty that day

08:45.383 --> 08:46.903
was your order.

08:46.983 --> 08:47.743
Yesterday,

08:48.343 --> 08:50.743
Zhan Ziyu attempted
to assassinate the Crown Prince

08:50.743 --> 08:51.943
on his way to Youzhou.

08:51.983 --> 08:53.343
It was also your order.

08:56.383 --> 08:57.263
Your Majesty,

08:58.023 --> 09:00.623
even though the Biantang Emperor
has favored you for many years,

09:00.623 --> 09:02.503
Li Ce is his only bloodline

09:02.903 --> 09:04.583
and the sole heir of Biantang.

09:04.663 --> 09:06.623
Why did you attempt
regicide and rebellion?

09:06.623 --> 09:08.023
Once His Majesty recovers,

09:08.023 --> 09:09.983
he will eventually realize the truth.

09:09.983 --> 09:10.783
So it's better

09:11.583 --> 09:13.663
to pin all the blame on Lord Zhan

09:13.743 --> 09:16.103
before he wakes up to it,

09:16.623 --> 09:19.863
so that neither you nor the Crown Prince
will be implicated.

09:19.863 --> 09:22.383
Your Majesty, if you are willing to clear
the Crown Prince's name,

09:22.383 --> 09:24.943
I am willing to leave the Crown Prince
from this moment on

09:24.943 --> 09:26.423
and take Lord Zhan's place

09:27.063 --> 09:28.343
to work for you.

09:31.503 --> 09:34.983
Raising assassins,
attempting to kill His Majesty,

09:35.583 --> 09:37.103
and framing the Crown Prince?

09:37.103 --> 09:38.623
What are you talking about?

09:39.143 --> 09:40.743
I don't understand at all.

09:41.303 --> 09:44.303
The Nanxi Tribe was wiped out long ago.

09:45.383 --> 09:48.583
Their village back then

09:49.023 --> 09:52.383
was burned to the ground years ago.

09:52.943 --> 09:56.023
The Nanxi people have lived by the water
for generations.

09:56.023 --> 09:58.623
How could fire alone wipe them out
completely?

09:59.463 --> 10:01.943
The wooden houses they lived in
for generations

10:01.943 --> 10:04.263
were located in a valley
backed by the South Mountain.

10:04.263 --> 10:06.103
If the fire was set

10:06.783 --> 10:08.103
in a specific season

10:08.623 --> 10:09.783
and at a specific location,

10:09.783 --> 10:11.543
none of them could escape.

10:12.543 --> 10:14.623
Your Majesty,
how do you know this so clearly?

10:14.623 --> 10:17.423
The secret imperial order
given to Sun Di back then

10:18.023 --> 10:19.343
was issued by you

10:19.703 --> 10:21.103
personally.

10:23.783 --> 10:25.263
You've said so much.

10:26.103 --> 10:27.343
What proof do you have?

10:45.583 --> 10:46.383
Impossible.

10:47.103 --> 10:49.743
The order to annihilate the Nanxi Tribe
was issued by Biantang Emperor.

10:49.743 --> 10:51.783
It had nothing to do with Her Majesty.

10:52.183 --> 10:53.503
You're just saying this

10:53.663 --> 10:55.823
to make me testify against Her Majesty

10:56.063 --> 10:58.303
and admit that it was her
who sent me here.

10:58.863 --> 11:00.143
No matter what you say,

11:00.143 --> 11:01.383
I won't betray her.

11:01.863 --> 11:03.343
Even if you kill me,

11:03.823 --> 11:06.863
I won't say a word against her!

11:07.383 --> 11:08.143
Back then,

11:08.903 --> 11:11.903
Biantang Emperor sent troops
to wipe out the Nanxi village.

11:11.903 --> 11:13.623
But after several deployments,

11:13.623 --> 11:16.143
they still couldn't
defeat them completely.

11:16.143 --> 11:18.623
The Empress,
in order to please her husband,

11:19.343 --> 11:20.583
went to great lengths

11:21.063 --> 11:21.943
and finally found a way

11:21.943 --> 11:23.983
to wipe out the Nanxi Tribe

11:24.143 --> 11:25.663
by exploiting the unique structure

11:25.663 --> 11:27.503
and terrain of their settlements

11:27.503 --> 11:29.383
to set the entire village on fire.

11:40.343 --> 11:41.143
Zhen,

11:41.903 --> 11:43.863
tell me this isn't true.

11:44.463 --> 11:46.103
This isn't true.

11:57.743 --> 11:58.423
Run!

12:02.263 --> 12:02.863
Ziming!

12:03.143 --> 12:03.783
Ziming!

12:15.983 --> 12:16.623
Don't run!

12:19.983 --> 12:20.623
Stop!

12:28.423 --> 12:29.663
A remnant of the Nanxi Tribe?

12:29.663 --> 12:31.463
How dare you offend the Empress?

12:32.263 --> 12:32.863
Step back.

12:54.503 --> 12:55.503
This is for you.

13:02.863 --> 13:03.983
Are you hungry?

13:40.823 --> 13:41.703
This...

13:42.543 --> 13:43.343
Your Majesty.

13:45.743 --> 13:46.703
What are you doing?

13:46.703 --> 13:47.463
Princess Fu!

13:47.503 --> 13:51.143
Do you know that holding the Empress hostage
is a crime of treason?

13:52.343 --> 13:53.543
Step back, all of you!

13:53.623 --> 13:55.223
This is a crime of treason!

13:55.223 --> 13:56.343
Raising assassins,

13:56.503 --> 13:57.743
attempting to assassinate His Majesty,

13:57.743 --> 13:59.143
and framing the Crown Prince

13:59.143 --> 14:00.663
are also crimes of treason.

14:01.303 --> 14:01.903
Move!

14:04.103 --> 14:04.623
This...

14:12.583 --> 14:13.783
Everyone, step back!

14:13.783 --> 14:14.383
Step back!

14:16.543 --> 14:17.423
Zhan Ziyu,

14:17.983 --> 14:19.143
tell everyone here,

14:19.423 --> 14:20.303
who ordered you

14:20.783 --> 14:23.143
to use assassins to kill His Majesty

14:23.423 --> 14:24.823
and frame the Crown Prince?

14:24.823 --> 14:25.863
And who ordered you

14:26.023 --> 14:28.103
to eliminate the Crown Prince

14:28.423 --> 14:30.263
on his way to Youzhou?

14:30.463 --> 14:31.063
Speak!

14:36.543 --> 14:37.423
Zhan Ziyu,

14:38.223 --> 14:40.343
I don't understand what she's saying.

14:40.743 --> 14:44.383
Can you explain it to me?

14:46.263 --> 14:47.543
Do you remember

14:48.223 --> 14:49.823
the scene when you brought me back

14:49.823 --> 14:51.703
from the destroyed village in Nanxi

14:51.703 --> 14:53.023
15 years ago?

14:53.023 --> 14:53.743
Nanxi?

14:54.423 --> 14:55.823
Zhan Ziyu is from Nanxi?

14:56.183 --> 14:57.143
Nanxi?

14:58.663 --> 14:59.863
The sky that day

15:00.583 --> 15:02.063
was as bright as today.

15:05.223 --> 15:06.783
Looking at your face,

15:07.303 --> 15:08.663
I secretly swore that

15:09.303 --> 15:12.863
I, Zhan Ziyu,

15:13.583 --> 15:15.623
would only have one woman in my heart,

15:15.983 --> 15:17.343
live only for her,

15:18.063 --> 15:20.263
and love only her for the rest of my life.

15:20.543 --> 15:21.903
That is you.

15:22.983 --> 15:23.623
It's...

15:23.623 --> 15:24.863
What a scandal!

15:24.903 --> 15:26.103
Because of this oath,

15:26.423 --> 15:27.583
I would do whatever

15:28.183 --> 15:29.383
you want me to do.

15:30.303 --> 15:31.703
As long as it's your wish,

15:32.183 --> 15:33.863
I could even give up my life,

15:34.663 --> 15:35.743
let alone bear the mere charge

15:35.743 --> 15:37.663
of assassinating His Majesty.

15:38.823 --> 15:42.063
But do you know my wish?

15:46.263 --> 15:48.263
I want to talk to Her Majesty alone.

15:52.223 --> 15:52.903
Step back!

15:53.383 --> 15:54.143
Nobody move!

16:06.183 --> 16:07.743
For the past fifteen years,

16:09.743 --> 16:12.863
I could only hide in the dark

16:16.903 --> 16:17.823
Your Majesty...

16:20.303 --> 16:23.663
The sunlight that day
was as warm as it is today.

16:29.383 --> 16:30.383
This...

16:35.343 --> 16:36.823
The seasons are out of order,

16:36.823 --> 16:38.583
and the universe is reversed!

16:38.823 --> 16:41.463
It's an ominous sign!

16:41.503 --> 16:43.143
What should we do?

17:16.223 --> 17:17.263
Are you hungry?

17:36.583 --> 17:38.023
Guards! Protect me!

17:38.343 --> 17:39.103
Don't move!

17:39.703 --> 17:41.463
Chu Qiao, a famale slave from Great Yong,

17:41.463 --> 17:44.063
conspired with a remnant
of the Nanxi Tribe, Zhan Ziyu,

17:44.063 --> 17:45.663
to frame me!

17:46.343 --> 17:47.663
Arrest them all!

17:56.623 --> 17:57.303
Stop!

17:59.023 --> 17:59.703
Minglu!

18:00.423 --> 18:03.023
They are all accomplices
of Crown Prince Li Ce!

18:03.343 --> 18:04.143
Show no mercy!

18:04.423 --> 18:06.503
Kill them,
and I will reward you handsomely!

18:06.503 --> 18:07.863
Bad news! Bad news!

18:07.863 --> 18:08.743
Something happened to His Majesty!

18:08.743 --> 18:12.263
An assassin broke into Zhengyuan Hall
and took His Majesty hostage.

18:12.263 --> 18:12.943
What...

18:12.943 --> 18:14.263
What should we do?

18:14.303 --> 18:15.183
Take them away!

18:27.303 --> 18:28.103
Your Majesty!

18:58.703 --> 18:59.503
Your Majesty!

19:04.343 --> 19:05.263
Who are you

19:05.583 --> 19:07.463
to dare hold His Majesty hostage?

19:07.543 --> 19:09.223
You don't need to know who I am.

19:09.623 --> 19:11.823
Release Princess Fu and her people now.

19:12.063 --> 19:14.583
Then, in front of all the officials,
announce

19:14.623 --> 19:17.583
that you ordered Zhan Ziyu to attempt
to assassinate His Majesty

19:17.583 --> 19:19.623
and frame Crown Prince Li Ce,

19:19.663 --> 19:20.783
and I will let him go.

19:23.143 --> 19:23.743
Empress,

19:24.223 --> 19:25.423
save me!

19:26.383 --> 19:27.503
Hurry up and release Chu Qiao
and the others,

19:27.503 --> 19:28.783
and admit that you did it.

19:28.783 --> 19:30.023
I won't believe it.

19:30.383 --> 19:32.343
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

19:32.383 --> 19:34.543
Saving His Majesty is the priority,
Your Majesty.

19:34.543 --> 19:35.143
Yes!

19:35.183 --> 19:37.063
Saving His Majesty is the priority!

19:37.063 --> 19:38.183
Audacious traitor!

19:38.583 --> 19:39.943
To frame me,

19:40.223 --> 19:43.623
you actually dare to hold His Majesty hostage
to threaten me.

19:43.823 --> 19:45.143
Who ordered you?

19:45.543 --> 19:47.143
The Crown Prince or Chu Qiao?

19:47.983 --> 19:50.583
Empress,
are you really going to save yourself

19:50.783 --> 19:52.543
at the cost of the Emperor's life?

19:52.543 --> 19:54.863
Of course I care about His Majesty's life.

19:55.143 --> 19:56.543
That is exactly why I will not negotiate

19:56.543 --> 19:58.303
with rebels and traitors.

19:58.863 --> 19:59.583
Guards!

20:00.023 --> 20:02.423
Kill the traitor
and take His Majesty back!

20:03.623 --> 20:04.423
Your Majesty!

20:04.583 --> 20:05.783
Do it now!

20:08.623 --> 20:09.423
Your Majesty!

20:11.703 --> 20:12.503
Your Majesty!

20:13.103 --> 20:13.903
Your Majesty!

20:42.983 --> 20:43.783
Your Majesty!

21:03.223 --> 21:03.943
Your Majesty!

21:03.943 --> 21:04.903
I am here!

21:05.183 --> 21:06.463
Anyone who makes a move

21:07.023 --> 21:08.823
will be punished for rebellion!

21:14.463 --> 21:15.063
Father!

21:30.103 --> 21:31.383
Your Majesty!

21:33.703 --> 21:35.183
I have come by your imperial order

21:35.183 --> 21:36.103
to protect you!

22:02.583 --> 22:03.303
Good.

22:04.663 --> 22:06.663
I have tolerated you for many years,

22:06.863 --> 22:08.583
thinking you knew your limits.

22:09.543 --> 22:13.183
I never expected that you would not only
move against the Crown Prince,

22:13.183 --> 22:15.143
but also come after me.

22:16.303 --> 22:17.383
Stop acting.

22:18.143 --> 22:21.543
You are selfish, hypocritical,
and always putting on an act.

22:22.543 --> 22:23.223
To me,

22:23.983 --> 22:26.383
to your own brother Crown Prince Maocheng,

22:27.223 --> 22:30.143
and to your people and ministers alike.

22:31.463 --> 22:32.663
You deceived me,

22:33.183 --> 22:34.543
went back on your word,

22:36.623 --> 22:38.183
and killed my child,

22:38.503 --> 22:40.223
yet still pretended to love me.

22:40.423 --> 22:41.263
For the throne,

22:41.263 --> 22:43.103
you even killed your own brother!

22:43.663 --> 22:45.263
You feign mourning him.

22:45.423 --> 22:47.543
Going out of the palace to pray for him?

22:47.863 --> 22:49.663
Your acting is so convincing...

22:50.823 --> 22:52.823
you've almost convinced yourself.

22:53.503 --> 22:55.303
If only you knew nothing

22:56.543 --> 22:58.303
and were a little more foolish.

22:59.023 --> 23:01.103
Perhaps I could continue to favor you

23:01.743 --> 23:03.743
and play this game with you forever.

23:10.503 --> 23:12.503
You shouldn't have seen through me,

23:12.503 --> 23:15.103
and you absolutely
shouldn't have exposed me.

23:15.503 --> 23:17.503
You should have kept playing along.

23:20.063 --> 23:21.703
Did it have to come to this?

23:23.263 --> 23:25.703
Is the favor I gave you not enough?

23:35.183 --> 23:36.583
Don't be afraid.

23:37.383 --> 23:39.023
I never intended to kill you.

23:39.663 --> 23:42.263
Because I never wanted to die with you.

23:43.303 --> 23:44.023
In this life,

23:44.703 --> 23:46.943
in heaven or in hell,

23:47.623 --> 23:49.263
I never want to see you again.

23:51.983 --> 23:53.183
This world—

23:58.463 --> 23:59.703
I don't want it.

24:02.263 --> 24:03.183
Your Majesty...

24:17.423 --> 24:18.583
Your Majesty!

24:46.983 --> 24:47.543
Ce!

25:29.623 --> 25:30.263
Zhen.

25:40.863 --> 25:42.863
The sunshine is so beautiful today.

26:26.183 --> 26:26.743
How is he?

26:26.783 --> 26:28.583
Please forgive me, Your Highness.

26:28.583 --> 26:30.423
His Majesty has a pre-existing condition.

26:30.423 --> 26:32.223
Coupled with years of excess
and lack of restraint,

26:32.223 --> 26:33.703
he was already critically ill.

26:33.703 --> 26:34.703
This incident

26:34.903 --> 26:36.703
has completely drained his vitality.

26:36.703 --> 26:37.503
I'm afraid...

26:37.743 --> 26:39.783
I'm afraid there will be no recovery.

26:46.543 --> 26:47.423
Your Highness,

26:47.543 --> 26:49.863
His Majesty has been unwell for many days,

26:49.903 --> 26:53.343
but a nation cannot be without a ruler
even for a single day.

26:53.343 --> 26:54.463
Please make preparations

26:54.703 --> 26:55.943
in advance.

27:02.783 --> 27:05.783
Please make preparations in advance,
Your Highness.

27:28.863 --> 27:29.623
Mother,

27:31.343 --> 27:32.863
Father is very ill.

27:34.023 --> 27:35.223
After what you did,

27:36.623 --> 27:38.743
he likely does not have many days left.

27:39.063 --> 27:41.183
I know you don't want to be with Father,

27:42.143 --> 27:43.823
so I overruled all objections

27:44.423 --> 27:46.263
and insisted on burying you here.

27:47.023 --> 27:48.623
You will not see him again.

27:49.743 --> 27:51.863
I know you do not want me to come see you,

27:52.383 --> 27:54.063
but I did not come empty-handed.

27:54.063 --> 27:56.383
I brought your favorite green rice balls.

28:09.743 --> 28:10.703
Mother!

28:12.343 --> 28:13.143
Mother!

28:16.943 --> 28:17.583
Mother,

28:18.103 --> 28:20.583
do you like the flower I picked for you?

28:21.703 --> 28:23.023
I'll put it in your hair.

28:36.503 --> 28:37.183
Mother,

28:37.623 --> 28:38.943
if you don't like it,

28:40.103 --> 28:42.423
I won't do it again.

28:46.583 --> 28:47.143
Ce.

29:02.103 --> 29:04.423
These are your favorite green rice balls.

29:07.183 --> 29:08.423
I know you

29:08.823 --> 29:10.143
had never loved me.

29:11.103 --> 29:13.023
And I know you despised me.

29:13.423 --> 29:15.223
You didn't even want to touch me.

29:16.423 --> 29:17.223
I even know that you

29:17.223 --> 29:19.423
wanted to cut me into a thousand pieces.

29:20.783 --> 29:23.063
But in the dead of night,

29:23.823 --> 29:26.223
I still fantasize
about lying in your arms,

29:26.503 --> 29:28.183
listening to your stories.

29:29.303 --> 29:30.583
Fantasizing about...

29:31.863 --> 29:33.583
falling asleep

29:34.983 --> 29:36.183
to your lullabies

29:38.223 --> 29:39.663
and never waking up again.

29:49.423 --> 29:52.023
His Majesty has arrived!

30:15.343 --> 30:18.223
Li Yan, the legitimate son
of the late Prince of Chang, Heir Luo,

30:18.223 --> 30:19.503
has inherited generations
of loyalty and bravery

30:19.503 --> 30:21.263
and is both virtuous and capable.

30:21.263 --> 30:23.463
He is hereby enfeoffed as Prince of Luo.

30:23.503 --> 30:24.903
He is granted a python robe,

30:24.903 --> 30:27.943
1,000 qing of estate land, 300 houses,

30:27.983 --> 30:31.703
500 bolts of fine silk,
and 100 fine horses.

30:32.623 --> 30:34.703
Thank you, Your Majesty.

30:45.903 --> 30:46.703
Prince of Luo.

30:53.463 --> 30:54.183
Leave us.

30:57.383 --> 31:00.183
Truly, one cannot judge by appearance.
You have hidden your strength well.

31:00.183 --> 31:03.183
I did not expect you
to be so calculating and scheming.

31:04.863 --> 31:06.263
If I remember correctly,

31:06.783 --> 31:08.463
the palace prayer ceremony
on the 15th of each month

31:08.463 --> 31:10.023
is handled by the Ministry of Rites.

31:10.143 --> 31:11.703
If it were not for you, Minister of Rites,

31:11.703 --> 31:13.023
making things convenient for Chu Qiao,

31:13.023 --> 31:13.983
how could she have appeared

31:13.983 --> 31:15.383
in Youtian Hall that day?

31:29.463 --> 31:31.263
So you betrayed your allegiance

31:31.503 --> 31:32.703
just for a stupid robe

31:33.543 --> 31:34.863
and a few shabby houses?

31:49.623 --> 31:52.623
Prince of Luo, wearing this python robe
that brings you honor,

31:52.623 --> 31:54.303
you really do look every bit the refined

31:54.303 --> 31:56.263
and upright gentleman.

32:05.223 --> 32:05.863
Chunxing!

32:06.103 --> 32:07.063
Pack my things!

32:07.063 --> 32:08.303
I'm going back to Great Yong.

32:08.303 --> 32:08.863
Chun'er!

32:13.823 --> 32:14.943
Why aren't you packing?

32:14.943 --> 32:16.863
Your Highness,
please don't speak in anger.

32:16.863 --> 32:18.063
Now that His Highness has been enfeoffed,

32:18.063 --> 32:19.503
you will be a princess consort.

32:19.503 --> 32:20.343
In all of Biantang,

32:20.343 --> 32:21.743
no one will dare bully...

32:24.783 --> 32:25.463
Let go of me!

32:26.023 --> 32:27.343
You're hurting me!

32:38.103 --> 32:40.223
You're acting tough in front of me now,

32:40.383 --> 32:41.423
but in front of Chu Qiao and Li Ce,

32:41.423 --> 32:42.623
you're just a coward!

32:42.943 --> 32:44.343
I can't stand it anymore.

32:44.463 --> 32:46.903
I'm going back to Great Yong
to find Zhao Che!

32:47.943 --> 32:48.943
Let go! Let go of me!

32:48.943 --> 32:50.223
Zhao Chun'er, enough!

32:50.223 --> 32:51.263
Let me go!

32:51.743 --> 32:52.743
Don't be naive!

32:53.103 --> 32:54.103
Do you think your Zhao Che

32:54.103 --> 32:55.223
will still want you?

32:55.703 --> 32:57.143
We've been married for days.

32:57.143 --> 32:59.263
Has he ever sent anyone to check on you?

32:59.663 --> 33:00.943
Your title as Princess

33:01.263 --> 33:02.703
is just a toy he gave you

33:02.703 --> 33:04.263
to placate a child.

33:06.023 --> 33:06.863
Let go!

33:08.223 --> 33:09.503
Listen to me!

33:10.143 --> 33:11.983
You're not allowed to go anywhere!

33:11.983 --> 33:13.503
Just stay in the mansion.

33:16.303 --> 33:18.143
You, a deposed princess,

33:18.623 --> 33:20.703
and I, a useless prince,

33:21.223 --> 33:23.063
are a match made in heaven.

33:23.863 --> 33:26.623
I will achieve every single thing

33:27.383 --> 33:28.703
I promised you!

33:35.063 --> 33:36.063
Keep an eye on her.

33:36.383 --> 33:38.343
Don't let her leave this room.

33:39.023 --> 33:39.623
Yes.

34:20.263 --> 34:21.983
I thought you were smart.

34:22.863 --> 34:25.223
I didn't expect you to be so stupid too.

34:25.583 --> 34:27.423
Don't stop me! Let me die!

34:27.423 --> 34:30.263
Let go of me! Let go of me!

34:35.783 --> 34:36.983
Why do you want to die?

34:37.263 --> 34:38.463
Is it for the Empress,

34:38.583 --> 34:39.823
or Zhan Ziyu?

34:41.943 --> 34:42.543
I...

34:52.223 --> 34:53.983
After the Nanxi Tribe was wiped out,

34:53.983 --> 34:55.743
you were separated from Zhan Ziyu

34:55.743 --> 34:56.983
and sold into slavery.

34:57.863 --> 34:59.463
It took him years to find you.

35:00.223 --> 35:01.223
You were a slave.

35:01.543 --> 35:02.703
You should know

35:03.143 --> 35:04.303
the life you're living now

35:04.303 --> 35:06.303
is thousands of times better than before.

35:06.303 --> 35:08.023
You survived back then.

35:08.663 --> 35:09.943
But now you want to die?

35:10.303 --> 35:11.583
Isn't that too stupid?

35:12.183 --> 35:14.383
Ziyu is my only family

35:14.383 --> 35:15.503
in this world.

35:15.703 --> 35:18.143
My clansmen were killed by the Empress.

35:18.263 --> 35:20.663
Even my only family is dead.

35:22.943 --> 35:25.063
What's the point of living?

35:36.823 --> 35:38.103
The child in your womb

35:38.303 --> 35:39.823
is your only family.

35:40.383 --> 35:41.543
The child?

35:41.983 --> 35:43.943
Although Zhan Ziyu is your brother,

35:43.943 --> 35:45.423
he exploited your youth

35:45.983 --> 35:47.303
to work for the Empress.

35:51.903 --> 35:52.983
You are so smart.

35:53.463 --> 35:54.903
And Li Ce is a kind

35:55.063 --> 35:56.303
and affectionate man.

35:56.983 --> 35:58.863
Now he is the Emperor of Biantang,

35:59.543 --> 36:02.423
and you are carrying his only child.

36:04.343 --> 36:05.823
Think about it carefully.

36:46.623 --> 36:47.503
These two swords

36:47.503 --> 36:48.623
represent

36:48.663 --> 36:50.503
that we will be together forever.

36:50.703 --> 36:51.903
What my mother lost,

36:52.303 --> 36:54.223
I'll win back for her.

36:54.263 --> 36:55.503
Kill this witch!

36:55.503 --> 36:57.343
If we offer her to the King of Great Yan,

36:57.343 --> 36:58.583
we'll be saved.

36:58.903 --> 36:59.783
Catch her!

36:59.783 --> 37:01.023
