00:14.183 --> 00:14.983
Your Majesty,

00:15.583 --> 00:18.183
this is the divorce agreement
between Young Lady Xie and me.

00:18.183 --> 00:20.663
The bond between her and me ends here.

00:22.383 --> 00:23.743
This is for your review.

00:38.343 --> 00:39.143
Your Majesty.

00:40.143 --> 00:41.743
Regarding the Beifu Reform,

00:42.263 --> 00:43.583
what do you intend to do?

00:44.943 --> 00:45.783
Your Majesty,

00:46.103 --> 00:48.263
my reform will proceed in three steps.

00:49.663 --> 00:51.783
Firstly, eliminate long-standing flaws,

00:51.783 --> 00:53.143
restructure the military system,

00:53.143 --> 00:54.543
appoint talents of humble origins,

00:54.543 --> 00:56.343
and employ generals by ability alone.

00:56.343 --> 00:58.623
Secondly,
forge stronger armor and weapons,

00:58.623 --> 01:00.023
and expand
the transportation of provisions

01:00.023 --> 01:01.543
to ensure steady military supplies.

01:01.543 --> 01:02.023
Thirdly...

01:02.023 --> 01:04.423
What is Prince Qi's take on this plan?

01:05.303 --> 01:07.783
Prince Qi and I share a bond like brothers

01:08.303 --> 01:09.423
as well as deep trust.

01:09.423 --> 01:10.303
I believe that

01:11.423 --> 01:14.143
as long as His Highness
and I join hands...

01:23.303 --> 01:24.583
Even today,

01:25.583 --> 01:26.943
you still think

01:27.503 --> 01:30.503
that you and Prince Qi
share a bond like brothers

01:31.223 --> 01:32.463
as well as deep trust?

01:36.943 --> 01:37.863
Now,

01:39.703 --> 01:40.943
do you understand

01:41.943 --> 01:45.863
why I insisted on keeping Xie Jiayu

01:46.943 --> 01:48.423
by your side?

02:00.863 --> 02:02.063
I understand now.

02:04.703 --> 02:06.343
The way of checks and balances

02:07.223 --> 02:08.623
is the emperor's art.

02:09.463 --> 02:10.423
Therefore,

02:11.143 --> 02:12.463
Xie Jiayu

02:13.143 --> 02:13.863
is my way

02:14.743 --> 02:17.863
of keeping a balance
between you and Prince Qi.

03:49.383 --> 03:53.223
[Key to the Phoenix Heart]

03:53.383 --> 03:56.183
[Episode 15]

03:56.263 --> 04:00.143
[Lingfeng Fort]

04:02.263 --> 04:04.943
[Cui Jun, Master of the Cui family]

04:05.423 --> 04:08.303
Father, why are you so fond of pine trees?

04:08.583 --> 04:09.703
They can endure cold and drought.

04:09.703 --> 04:11.143
Scatter a handful of seeds anywhere,

04:11.143 --> 04:12.223
and they will grow.

04:12.543 --> 04:13.863
But Mother told me that

04:14.303 --> 04:16.263
you loved loquat flowers the most
when you were young.

04:16.263 --> 04:18.863
Even Mother loved
making loquat wine the most.

04:20.663 --> 04:21.943
People change.

04:22.743 --> 04:24.943
I will set off for Jiankang in a few days.

04:25.063 --> 04:26.263
I'm afraid that, by this time

04:26.263 --> 04:27.743
next year,
I won't be able to accompany you

04:27.743 --> 04:29.183
to pay respects to Mother together.

04:29.183 --> 04:29.863
Today,

04:31.063 --> 04:32.583
let me pour wine for you

04:32.583 --> 04:33.823
one last time, Father.

04:46.063 --> 04:47.743
You have arranged such a grand marriage

04:47.743 --> 04:48.943
for me, Father,

04:50.743 --> 04:52.743
but I only feel restless and uneasy.

04:52.943 --> 04:55.623
The Cui family is hailed
as the top noble family.

04:56.623 --> 04:58.383
But what have you done, Father?

04:59.383 --> 05:01.383
Do you really think no one knows?

05:01.863 --> 05:03.703
You've privately run illegal mines

05:03.703 --> 05:04.583
and tricked women

05:04.583 --> 05:06.303
into dying in the mines unjustly.

05:06.303 --> 05:07.823
Your actions are

05:07.823 --> 05:10.183
enough to ruin our Cui family completely.

05:10.823 --> 05:11.503
Shao'an!

05:11.503 --> 05:12.703
You don't need to call him.

05:12.703 --> 05:14.943
I have already led Shao'an
out of Lingfeng Fort.

05:14.943 --> 05:16.943
And I also told Xie Jiayu the hiding place

05:16.943 --> 05:18.823
of her mother, Princess Yunzhao.

05:18.823 --> 05:20.943
By now, they must have left Lingfeng Fort.

05:20.943 --> 05:23.983
Everything about Lingfeng Fort is
about to be exposed.

05:25.183 --> 05:25.943
Guards!

05:26.703 --> 05:28.943
If you plead guilty
together with me today,

05:28.943 --> 05:31.783
our Cui family might still
have a chance to survive.

05:40.583 --> 05:42.703
Lady Jiayu, my young lady ordered that

05:42.943 --> 05:44.183
after we get Her Highness out,

05:44.183 --> 05:46.583
you must leave Lingfeng Fort immediately.

05:54.383 --> 05:56.143
Do you really think I'm stupid?

05:56.143 --> 05:57.743
I knew Lingyi was a traitor

05:57.743 --> 05:59.943
and wanted to help you save the Princess.

05:59.943 --> 06:00.983
Where is Xiao Wuyi?

06:03.263 --> 06:04.383
Behind you.

06:09.383 --> 06:11.583
Xiao Wuyi, how did you know
there was a trap?

06:11.583 --> 06:13.383
Were we also tricked by Young Lady Cui?

06:13.383 --> 06:14.903
Cui Lingyi didn't trick us.

06:15.023 --> 06:17.303
Instead, she was also deceived by them.

06:18.703 --> 06:19.943
Last night,
Cui Lingyi spread the fake news

06:19.943 --> 06:21.943
that we had fled from Lingfeng Fort.

06:22.063 --> 06:22.743
And you

06:22.943 --> 06:25.703
searched for us with great fanfare
in the middle of the night.

06:25.703 --> 06:26.943
Wasn't it to deliberately tell us that

06:26.943 --> 06:28.143
you had left the city?

06:28.263 --> 06:29.503
If my guess is right,

06:29.743 --> 06:30.703
you lurked in the dark

06:30.703 --> 06:32.303
soon after you left the city.

06:40.823 --> 06:41.943
We encountered no obstacles at all

06:41.943 --> 06:43.183
on our way to the back mountain.

06:43.183 --> 06:45.383
Including that maid
who suddenly appeared just now,

06:45.383 --> 06:46.903
everything is suspicious.

06:47.303 --> 06:49.983
Someone must have
lured us here intentionally.

06:52.943 --> 06:55.423
You think you can bring me down this way?

06:55.743 --> 06:56.263
You think

06:56.263 --> 06:58.623
you can save
our Cui family just like this?

06:58.823 --> 07:01.303
You think I would drink the poisoned wine?

07:05.543 --> 07:07.863
I am the Master of Lingfeng Fort.

07:08.583 --> 07:10.623
And you will soon
enter the Eastern Palace and marry

07:10.623 --> 07:12.023
Prince Qi to become his consort.

07:12.023 --> 07:13.823
In the future, you will be the first lady

07:13.823 --> 07:14.983
like Empress Wenxi.

07:15.263 --> 07:17.503
Our Cui family has laid low
for over 20 years

07:17.503 --> 07:18.623
just for today

07:18.623 --> 07:20.743
to revive our family.

07:21.063 --> 07:24.023
But you insisted on ruining
the glory of our Cui family

07:24.023 --> 07:26.023
at this very moment

07:26.183 --> 07:28.863
and destroying my 20 years
of great efforts.

07:32.423 --> 07:33.503
I suppose your sister

07:33.503 --> 07:35.063
has already been captured by now.

07:35.063 --> 07:36.423
Hand over the Princess,

07:37.383 --> 07:39.383
or I'll kill you right now.

07:39.543 --> 07:40.943
Ouch! It hurts...

07:46.423 --> 07:46.943
Mother!

07:49.823 --> 07:51.143
What an impressive scheme.

07:51.143 --> 07:52.143
Young Lord Xiao,

07:53.143 --> 07:54.183
I've heard a lot about you.

07:54.183 --> 07:55.263
Put the sword down.

08:02.063 --> 08:02.863
Father.

08:10.023 --> 08:10.583
Father,

08:11.023 --> 08:11.823
Lingyi is already engaged

08:11.823 --> 08:13.143
and will get married soon.

08:13.143 --> 08:13.943
Xiao Wuyi and the Princess

08:13.943 --> 08:15.143
are both in our hands now.

08:15.143 --> 08:16.663
There won't be any problem.

08:17.063 --> 08:18.743
Please let Lingyi go, Father.

08:20.303 --> 08:20.943
Father,

08:21.303 --> 08:22.863
are you still going to use me

08:23.583 --> 08:25.103
to force Shao'an to do evil?

08:26.063 --> 08:26.743
Lingyi...

08:27.263 --> 08:29.383
Are you still going to use Shao'an
to force me

08:29.383 --> 08:31.383
to cover up the truth for the family?

08:32.103 --> 08:33.223
Since we were young,

08:33.223 --> 08:35.863
you've kept instigating conflicts
between Shao'an and me.

08:35.863 --> 08:37.263
Whenever you praised me,

08:38.623 --> 08:39.623
you'd scold Shao'an

08:39.623 --> 08:40.903
as if he was worthless.

08:41.103 --> 08:42.143
I didn't understand back then.

08:42.143 --> 08:43.783
I was only at odds with Shao'an

08:44.023 --> 08:45.903
in order to please you.

08:47.103 --> 08:48.903
What you want is never children,

08:49.383 --> 08:50.023
but merely

08:50.023 --> 08:51.703
two pawns under your control!

08:52.023 --> 08:55.023
I'd rather die
than be manipulated by you again!

08:56.783 --> 08:58.263
Do you think Princess Yunzhao

08:58.263 --> 08:59.503
is some sort of good person?

08:59.503 --> 09:00.463
Do you think she stayed

09:00.463 --> 09:02.183
in order to expose the Cui family?

09:02.183 --> 09:03.743
Do you think she lured Xiao Wuyi

09:03.743 --> 09:05.223
over here to help you reveal

09:05.223 --> 09:06.943
the dark side of the Cui family?

09:07.143 --> 09:10.343
Everything she did was
for the Phoenix Heart Token I hold!

09:11.743 --> 09:13.263
Whatever her purpose,

09:13.463 --> 09:14.463
all I want is for her to destroy

09:14.463 --> 09:15.863
everything here!

09:16.063 --> 09:16.623
Lingyi,

09:16.983 --> 09:18.623
how could you talk to Father like that?

09:18.623 --> 09:19.983
Kneel and apologize to him!

09:19.983 --> 09:20.663
Shao'an,

09:20.983 --> 09:22.743
the real lunatic in our family

09:23.343 --> 09:24.863
is our father!

09:33.383 --> 09:34.023
Lingyi...

09:34.863 --> 09:35.903
Lingyi!

09:36.223 --> 09:36.983
Lingyi...

09:38.463 --> 09:39.343
Lingyi...

09:47.743 --> 09:48.823
Princess Yunzhao,

09:49.103 --> 09:50.383
your daughter and your reinforcement

09:50.383 --> 09:51.743
are both in my hands.

09:52.103 --> 09:55.223
Do you still refuse to hand over
the Phoenix Heart Token?

10:04.383 --> 10:05.103
Mother.

10:07.263 --> 10:08.223
Are you alright?

10:11.663 --> 10:13.503
Cui Jun, how dare you

10:13.663 --> 10:14.983
tamper with my letter?

10:15.863 --> 10:18.463
I did use the family letter
to inform Xiao Wuyi,

10:18.623 --> 10:20.623
but I did something with the letter.

10:20.743 --> 10:22.263
It should never have reached Jiayu.

10:22.263 --> 10:23.743
You deliberately set it up

10:24.623 --> 10:25.743
to lure Jiayu over here.

10:25.743 --> 10:26.543
Yes, I did it.

10:29.023 --> 10:30.183
I also needed to know

10:30.263 --> 10:32.783
who you plotted to get
the Phoenix Heart Token

10:32.783 --> 10:34.183
and the mines for, right?

10:35.543 --> 10:36.303
Mother,

10:37.023 --> 10:38.023
what does he mean?

10:38.103 --> 10:40.543
Your Highness,
you're indeed a good mother.

10:40.543 --> 10:42.743
Everything you did was for your daughter.

10:42.743 --> 10:44.623
System reform, northern expedition—

10:44.623 --> 10:47.263
actually, the one
who really needs the minerals

10:47.263 --> 10:48.463
is Young Lord Xiao.

10:49.143 --> 10:51.063
But your daughter is in his hands.

10:52.383 --> 10:55.503
As her mother,
of course you have to yield.

10:56.743 --> 10:59.743
Therefore, you came to Guazhou
for Young Lord Xiao

11:00.623 --> 11:02.423
to find the Phoenix Heart Token.

11:02.943 --> 11:03.943
So you really have

11:05.383 --> 11:06.783
the Phoenix Heart Token.

11:07.143 --> 11:08.143
You found this mine

11:08.143 --> 11:10.743
under the guidance
of the Phoenix Heart Token.

11:11.623 --> 11:13.383
I have indeed decoded it.

11:14.263 --> 11:16.743
So there's no way I can let you go.

11:16.863 --> 11:17.623
Cui Jun,

11:18.623 --> 11:21.143
even if you kill and silence us all,
the secret

11:22.023 --> 11:24.863
of the Cuis and the Phoenix Heart Token
still can't remain hidden.

11:24.863 --> 11:25.823
Young Lord Xiao,

11:25.863 --> 11:27.543
instead of worrying about me,

11:27.863 --> 11:28.623
right now,

11:29.143 --> 11:31.143
you'd better worry about yourself.

11:31.743 --> 11:33.863
The secret guards you planted
have been exposed.

11:33.863 --> 11:35.863
No one will come to save you anymore.

11:35.863 --> 11:38.383
Princess, I'll only give you 2 days.

11:38.743 --> 11:40.903
If you still refuse
to hand over the Phoenix Heart Token,

11:40.903 --> 11:43.463
your daughter will die for sure.

11:50.183 --> 11:53.503
[Court of Judicial Review]

11:58.783 --> 12:00.343
Look what I got for you.

12:02.143 --> 12:05.783
I didn't expect that, after so many years,
[Yang Zhang, Guazhou County Sheriff]
you still remember that I

12:06.103 --> 12:08.743
love the longans
from Nanzhou the most, Master.

12:15.623 --> 12:16.663
This time,

12:17.223 --> 12:18.503
you did a great job.

12:19.143 --> 12:21.983
You sent
Cui Jun's contaminated military provisions

12:21.983 --> 12:23.143
to the Northern Border,

12:23.143 --> 12:25.943
leading to an outbreak of plague
in the Beifu Army.

12:25.983 --> 12:27.223
It also caused the noble families

12:27.223 --> 12:29.743
to impeach the Beifu Reform
one after another

12:30.143 --> 12:32.023
and quietly

12:32.023 --> 12:34.143
lured Xiao Wuyi to Cui Jun's place.

12:35.143 --> 12:36.903
It's been over 2 decades.

12:37.143 --> 12:40.623
This grudge should finally come to an end.

12:40.663 --> 12:41.383
Master,

12:41.383 --> 12:44.383
I heard that the unjust case
of the An and Lu families back then

12:44.383 --> 12:47.023
was all traced back
to Empress Wenxi of the Cui family.

12:47.023 --> 12:48.023
Is it true?

12:48.663 --> 12:50.263
If Xiao Wuyi can bring down

12:50.263 --> 12:52.023
the Cuis, Empress Wenxi's maternal family,

12:52.023 --> 12:53.263
this time,

12:53.263 --> 12:55.743
the secret of the An and Lu families
from back then

12:55.743 --> 12:57.743
might finally come to light.

12:58.143 --> 12:59.343
If so,

12:59.903 --> 13:01.383
you will be

13:03.263 --> 13:05.383
my greatest benefactor

13:06.263 --> 13:07.863
for the rest of my life.

13:10.263 --> 13:11.863
Your grace of teaching
gave me a second life,

13:11.863 --> 13:13.343
equal to my parents' care and love.

13:13.343 --> 13:14.503
Now that I got a chance to do you a favor,

13:14.503 --> 13:15.983
even if I die for it,

13:16.223 --> 13:17.463
I still can't repay you enough.

13:17.463 --> 13:20.263
It is already
the greatest fortune of my life!

13:24.063 --> 13:32.903
[Imperial Academy]
Master, we just got the news
from the Court of Judicial Review.
[Bingzhu, butler of Xie Mansion]
Yang Zhang, Guazhou County Sheriff,
committed suicide in prison out of fear.

13:39.863 --> 13:41.143
The body can't be kept.

13:41.263 --> 13:44.063
Send his body to Puzhao Temple tonight
and burn it.

13:44.383 --> 13:45.103
Understood.

13:48.863 --> 13:49.783
Anything else?

13:50.343 --> 13:52.863
The subordinates Young Lord Xiao
planted outside Lingfeng Fort

13:52.863 --> 13:54.143
have all been wiped out.

13:54.143 --> 13:55.863
Cui Jun has captured Young Lord Xiao.

13:55.863 --> 13:57.463
How could Xiao Wuyi have made

13:57.903 --> 13:59.503
such hasty preparations?

13:59.743 --> 14:00.743
Our informant reported

14:00.743 --> 14:02.023
that Young Lord Xiao entered

14:02.023 --> 14:04.223
Lingfeng Fort early for our young lady.

14:04.743 --> 14:05.863
Xie Jiayu?

14:06.623 --> 14:08.103
How come she's in Guazhou?

14:08.543 --> 14:09.503
Not only the Young Lady,

14:09.503 --> 14:11.223
but the Princess is also there.

14:11.383 --> 14:14.103
Her Highness wrote to the Young Lady
and made her go to Guazhou.

14:14.103 --> 14:16.223
Cui Jun has seized them all now,

14:16.743 --> 14:20.623
using the Young Lady to force Her Highness
to hand over the Phoenix Heart Token.

14:20.623 --> 14:22.023
The Phoenix Heart Token?

14:22.543 --> 14:25.903
I see.
Cui Jun is Empress Wenxi's older brother.

14:26.503 --> 14:28.623
If Yunzhao has the Phoenix Heart Token

14:28.623 --> 14:31.503
and wants to unite her old subordinates
against Prince Qi,

14:31.503 --> 14:33.623
Cui Jun is the best ally.

14:41.863 --> 14:42.863
Xiao Wuyi,

14:44.263 --> 14:45.863
was Cui Jun telling the truth

14:46.263 --> 14:47.263
just now?

14:48.103 --> 14:49.303
Did my mother look for

14:49.783 --> 14:51.663
the Phoenix Heart Tokens for you?

14:51.863 --> 14:52.503
Yes.

14:54.903 --> 14:55.783
You could say that.

14:55.783 --> 14:58.183
My mother never meddles in court politics.

14:58.263 --> 14:59.743
If someone hadn't forced her,

14:59.743 --> 15:02.503
she wouldn't have
taken the initiative to get involved.

15:02.503 --> 15:03.743
Did you use me to threaten her?

15:03.743 --> 15:04.463
No,

15:06.063 --> 15:08.063
I've never used you to threaten her.

15:09.223 --> 15:11.023
But this matter is complicated.

15:12.103 --> 15:13.463
I'll explain it to you later.

15:13.463 --> 15:14.503
But my mother agreed to help you

15:14.503 --> 15:15.383
because of me.

15:21.703 --> 15:24.823
I once thought that
after my mother and father divorced,

15:24.903 --> 15:27.463
she would finally be able
to live for herself,

15:28.423 --> 15:30.663
travel to places she had never seen,

15:31.223 --> 15:33.583
and lead a carefree life
she had never had.

15:34.743 --> 15:35.863
I didn't expect that

15:36.903 --> 15:39.023
she'd still be dragged
into this because of me,

15:39.023 --> 15:40.143
utilized by others,

15:40.543 --> 15:42.543
and end up in such a desperate state.

15:42.863 --> 15:43.943
I once thought that

15:45.863 --> 15:48.463
you cared about me
in Prince Jing'an's Mansion

15:48.623 --> 15:50.623
and allowed me to come and go freely,

15:51.863 --> 15:54.063
all because you were just a good person.

15:56.503 --> 15:57.663
I was too stupid.

15:58.023 --> 15:59.143
Everything I did

16:00.463 --> 16:01.503
was never about

16:01.503 --> 16:03.303
making a deal with the Princess.

16:04.143 --> 16:04.983
Xie Jiayu,

16:06.263 --> 16:07.623
did you really not

16:10.143 --> 16:11.503
feel anything at all?

16:12.783 --> 16:14.143
Am I wrong, Xiao Wuyi?

16:14.903 --> 16:17.143
You've been using me
from the very beginning.

16:17.143 --> 16:18.983
At first, when you didn't even know
who I was,

16:18.983 --> 16:21.343
you used me to quell
Prince Changsha's rebellion.

16:21.343 --> 16:22.583
When you knew who I was,

16:22.663 --> 16:23.983
you used my freedom

16:23.983 --> 16:24.623
and my life

16:24.623 --> 16:26.743
to force my mother to hand over
the Phoenix Heart Token,

16:26.743 --> 16:28.343
putting her in danger!

16:38.143 --> 16:38.783
Yes.

16:45.623 --> 16:46.623
It's all my fault.

16:57.503 --> 16:58.583
What is this sound?

16:59.383 --> 17:00.743
Not the sound of a human.

17:03.903 --> 17:06.623
There is an underground river
beneath this mine,

17:07.263 --> 17:08.543
where the water is not clean.

17:08.543 --> 17:09.823
Taken or applied,

17:10.543 --> 17:12.303
it drives people mad

17:12.903 --> 17:13.943
and turns them into beasts,

17:13.943 --> 17:15.303
just like him.

17:21.503 --> 17:24.423
Do you know how many people
my father had killed

17:24.583 --> 17:26.263
until he got such a monster?

17:38.543 --> 17:39.583
No more struggling.

17:39.583 --> 17:41.343
This candle is specially made.

17:41.703 --> 17:43.343
You can't use your martial arts anymore.

17:43.343 --> 17:44.983
Hand over the Phoenix Heart Token.

17:44.983 --> 17:45.743
Otherwise,

17:46.223 --> 17:48.063
I don't mind letting this monster

17:48.383 --> 17:49.543
deal with Xie Jiayu.

17:55.263 --> 17:55.943
Very well.

17:59.423 --> 18:00.343
Release him.

18:08.023 --> 18:08.663
Jiayu!

18:21.103 --> 18:21.743
Xiao Wuyi!

18:26.463 --> 18:28.303
-Stay here and watch.
-Xiao Wuyi!

18:30.263 --> 18:31.943
He has little inner energy now.

18:31.943 --> 18:33.263
How about we give him 15 minutes?

18:33.263 --> 18:34.863
It won't take him 15 minutes.

18:46.943 --> 18:48.263
You trust him that much?

18:49.943 --> 18:51.063
He will win for sure.

18:58.983 --> 18:59.783
Xiao Wuyi...

19:12.023 --> 19:12.743
Xiao Wuyi.

19:45.983 --> 19:47.583
Grand Tutor, you must've come

19:47.583 --> 19:50.183
late at night for something important.

19:56.463 --> 19:57.863
What on earth happened?

19:57.903 --> 20:00.263
Have you heard
of the Phoenix Heart Tokens?

20:00.263 --> 20:02.303
When the Phoenix Heart Tokens appear,
peace shall be restored in the world.

20:02.303 --> 20:04.543
Who in Ye hasn't heard about it?

20:05.423 --> 20:07.143
It is the hope of the people.

20:07.223 --> 20:09.983
What if Empress Wenxi really
had the Phoenix Heart Tokens

20:09.983 --> 20:11.183
and passed them down?

20:11.703 --> 20:13.743
Since Yunzhao was her closest friend,

20:13.743 --> 20:15.503
and Cui Jun was her older brother,

20:15.503 --> 20:17.023
the two of them are the most likely

20:17.023 --> 20:19.983
to be entrusted by Empress Wenxi.

20:23.263 --> 20:25.823
Even if the Phoenix Heart Tokens
truly exist,

20:27.263 --> 20:28.463
the Northern Qin people back then

20:28.463 --> 20:30.583
already wiped out Crown Prince Wenxi.

20:30.743 --> 20:32.583
Those people only have
the Phoenix Heart Tokens

20:32.583 --> 20:34.143
but not Crown Prince Wenxi.

20:34.543 --> 20:36.743
They pose no threat to my brother at all.

20:40.543 --> 20:41.423
Your Highness,

20:42.423 --> 20:43.663
what if I told you

20:44.303 --> 20:45.303
your brother

20:45.983 --> 20:48.383
is not of the Ye bloodline at all?

20:51.783 --> 20:53.543
Watch your words, Grand Tutor.

20:57.743 --> 21:00.503
Yunzhao has long suspected
Prince Qi's origins.

21:00.743 --> 21:02.343
She went to Guazhou this time

21:02.543 --> 21:03.583
probably just to use

21:03.583 --> 21:05.423
the Phoenix Heart Token in her hands

21:05.423 --> 21:07.343
to command the other Token holders

21:07.743 --> 21:10.463
and support
the Imperial Li family of Ye again.

21:14.743 --> 21:15.943
How is that possible?

21:16.703 --> 21:17.503
How could my brother not be...

21:17.503 --> 21:18.743
Your trip to Guazhou this time

21:18.743 --> 21:20.183
is nominally to escort the bride,

21:20.183 --> 21:21.543
but the real purpose is to cooperate

21:21.543 --> 21:23.823
with Young Lord Xiao to capture the Cuis.

21:24.263 --> 21:26.343
Remember, besides purging the Cuis,

21:26.343 --> 21:28.063
you absolutely cannot
let the Phoenix Heart Token

21:28.063 --> 21:29.823
fall into Xiao Wuyi's hands.

21:30.463 --> 21:31.423
You must not

21:31.983 --> 21:35.103
let Yunzhao ruin Prince Qi's future.

21:44.263 --> 21:46.263
Brother, the clothes are fixed.

21:46.503 --> 21:48.103
Try them on when you're free.

21:50.263 --> 21:50.943
Lejun.

21:53.823 --> 21:54.903
Put this on.

22:00.063 --> 22:01.223
This sachet

22:02.223 --> 22:03.343
was sewn for you

22:03.943 --> 22:05.503
by Mother back then.

22:07.103 --> 22:09.023
I heard that a strange disease is raging
in Guazhou.

22:09.023 --> 22:10.023
It has Bishou lotuses inside,

22:10.023 --> 22:11.303
with detoxifying effects.

22:11.303 --> 22:12.743
Since this was made by Mother,

22:12.743 --> 22:15.383
it can definitely keep you safe
on your journey.

22:16.663 --> 22:18.103
Brother, you are so silly.

22:18.743 --> 22:20.103
It's been so many years.

22:20.543 --> 22:22.503
The effects must've long worn off.

22:31.303 --> 22:32.983
You will always be my brother.

22:33.423 --> 22:34.743
The brother I know

22:35.263 --> 22:36.543
is Li Mao, who has always

22:36.543 --> 22:38.503
stuck with me through everything.

22:38.543 --> 22:39.223
What?

22:42.583 --> 22:43.863
Don't worry, Brother.

22:44.143 --> 22:47.023
I will not fail your trust
on this journey.

22:47.903 --> 22:49.943
I will bring the Cui family to justice

22:51.343 --> 22:52.823
and return safe and sound.

23:33.823 --> 23:34.823
You irritated me

23:35.703 --> 23:36.743
on purpose just now

23:37.943 --> 23:40.023
because you wanted me
to help you kill him, right?

23:40.023 --> 23:42.543
I've been sick
of that bastard for a long time.

23:42.943 --> 23:44.583
You hated what your father has done,

23:44.583 --> 23:46.063
but you didn't dare to resist.

23:46.063 --> 23:48.623
So you could only
use Xiao Wuyi and me as pawns.

23:49.343 --> 23:50.903
My father would do anything

23:50.943 --> 23:52.583
for the Phoenix Heart Tokens.

23:52.583 --> 23:53.943
I needed to see

23:53.943 --> 23:55.663
your determination and capabilities

23:55.823 --> 23:57.183
to go against my father.

23:57.343 --> 23:58.023
Xiao Wuyi,

23:58.943 --> 24:00.383
when will your men arrive?

24:03.303 --> 24:04.823
It's fine if you don't want to tell me,

24:04.823 --> 24:06.823
as long as there are reinforcements.

24:06.823 --> 24:08.863
The area outside the cave is
heavily guarded by my father's men.

24:08.863 --> 24:10.303
You'd better not act rashly

24:10.303 --> 24:11.943
before the reinforcements arrive.

24:11.943 --> 24:14.063
I'll remove all the candles outside.

24:15.263 --> 24:17.343
This is the only thing I can do for you.

24:17.783 --> 24:18.463
Hold on.

24:25.543 --> 24:27.583
This is what your sister asked me to give

24:27.583 --> 24:28.943
to you when she was alive.

24:28.943 --> 24:30.543
If this plan fails tomorrow,

24:31.823 --> 24:33.503
I will definitely end up dead.

24:34.263 --> 24:36.583
Please pass this letter on to my brother.

24:47.463 --> 24:49.103
If you are going to make a move,

24:49.743 --> 24:52.063
you'd better rescue all the people below.

24:59.703 --> 25:01.903
When will your reinforcements arrive?

25:03.663 --> 25:05.663
Qing Long and Yan Yue will send word.

25:07.263 --> 25:08.263
Don't worry,

25:08.783 --> 25:10.343
they will definitely ensure the safety

25:10.343 --> 25:12.543
of the Princess and Yuan Xiaoliu first.

25:14.343 --> 25:15.343
Then let's rest

25:15.543 --> 25:16.983
to conserve our strength.

However, the Cui family's evil deeds
actually started because of me.

27:52.903 --> 27:55.023
If I hadn't tried to outdo you

27:55.663 --> 27:57.743
and reminded Father
that, compared to adult men,

27:57.743 --> 27:59.303
perhaps women might be better suited

27:59.303 --> 28:00.943
to the narrow mine tunnels

28:01.143 --> 28:03.423
and wouldn't be discovered
by the authorities,

28:03.423 --> 28:06.063
we wouldn't have committed
so many murders now.

28:07.103 --> 28:09.703
Plenty of women were tricked
into coming to Lingfeng Fort

28:09.703 --> 28:12.343
and lost their lives
for a bit of grain and money.

28:12.823 --> 28:15.663
Thankfully, Princess Yunzhao discovered
the secret of the mines.

28:15.663 --> 28:16.343
I saved her

28:16.663 --> 28:18.223
and helped her lure Young Lord Xiao here

28:18.223 --> 28:19.823
in order to atone for my sins.

28:20.263 --> 28:23.503
Shao'an, I know you want me
to leave Lingfeng Fort

28:23.743 --> 28:25.143
and live a peaceful life.

28:25.143 --> 28:28.023
But since the mistake has been made,
I must pay with my life.

28:28.023 --> 28:29.903
If you continue to help the evildoer,

28:29.903 --> 28:31.743
I will not be able to rest in peace.

28:31.903 --> 28:34.303
I hope my death
can ignite your will to live.

28:34.583 --> 28:37.343
Only you know the way to save those women.

28:39.383 --> 28:42.183
[Lingfeng Fort]

28:47.503 --> 28:48.423
Hey!

28:48.943 --> 28:50.903
Who the heck locked me up?

28:51.263 --> 28:52.223
Say something!

28:53.183 --> 28:54.023
It's been so many days,

28:54.023 --> 28:55.343
and no one's ever come!

28:55.503 --> 28:56.743
Why not kill him, Master?

28:56.743 --> 28:57.423
What if...

29:00.783 --> 29:01.943
Prince Qi's escort team

29:01.943 --> 29:03.343
is already near Guazhou.

29:03.503 --> 29:04.063
Princess Pingning

29:04.063 --> 29:05.583
came in person this time.

29:06.023 --> 29:07.383
They came right on time.

29:09.143 --> 29:11.223
How many days has it been
since we last heard from Cui Xi?

29:11.223 --> 29:13.023
There are new updates every day.

29:13.183 --> 29:15.063
Everything is as usual
at the Cui Mansion in Jiankang.

29:15.063 --> 29:15.823
I see.

29:18.503 --> 29:19.103
By the way,

29:20.223 --> 29:21.663
you must not mistreat him.

29:22.183 --> 29:22.903
Understood.

29:26.743 --> 29:28.743
Are you kidnapping me
for my money or my looks?

29:28.743 --> 29:29.983
Just tell me directly!

29:30.543 --> 29:31.743
I'm fine with either!

29:39.023 --> 29:40.143
Greetings, Father.

29:40.183 --> 29:41.743
Prince Qi has sent his younger sister,

29:41.743 --> 29:42.863
Princess Pingning,

29:43.063 --> 29:44.743
to Lingfeng Fortress
to escort the bride.

29:44.743 --> 29:45.743
From now on,

29:46.743 --> 29:48.383
she will be your older sister,

29:48.943 --> 29:49.943
Cui Lingyi.

30:02.183 --> 30:02.703
Father.

30:03.943 --> 30:04.983
She is not my...

30:08.663 --> 30:09.903
Turn your head around.

30:14.743 --> 30:15.583
Bow.

30:23.183 --> 30:24.343
S-Sister.

30:32.423 --> 30:33.703
Xie Jiayu

30:34.023 --> 30:36.823
made the white silk flower
for your sister, right?

30:38.943 --> 30:40.983
Didn't you miss your sister so much?

30:41.143 --> 30:43.143
Then stay here and behave yourself.

30:43.663 --> 30:44.743
Without my order,

30:45.783 --> 30:48.663
you shall not leave this place
even by a single step.

30:59.423 --> 31:02.383
[Lingfeng Fort]

31:05.343 --> 31:07.023
I spent over 20 years

31:07.943 --> 31:10.543
cracking the secret
in the Phoenix Heart Token

31:11.263 --> 31:14.103
and discovering the iron mine
under this mountain.

31:15.063 --> 31:16.223
But it's a pity that

31:17.263 --> 31:20.223
an accident happened
halfway through the excavation.

31:20.223 --> 31:21.823
The groundwater has been contaminated,

31:21.823 --> 31:24.343
and anyone who touches it
will get hit by a strange disease.

31:24.343 --> 31:25.543
Last night, Xiao Wuyi

31:25.703 --> 31:28.023
killed a maniac with the strange disease.

31:28.463 --> 31:31.263
Your Highness, if you still refuse
to hand over the Phoenix Heart Token,

31:31.263 --> 31:33.063
then the next one to get infected

31:33.423 --> 31:34.743
will be Xie Jiayu.

31:38.023 --> 31:39.223
If she gets infected,

31:40.023 --> 31:41.663
I wonder if Young Lord Xiao

31:42.463 --> 31:44.423
would give her a quick death.

31:49.463 --> 31:50.663
Take this hairpin

31:51.503 --> 31:54.103
and go to the Nandu Wharf
we agreed on back then.

31:55.023 --> 31:56.263
Seeing this hairpin,

31:56.743 --> 31:58.183
someone will contact you.

32:08.743 --> 32:10.103
I can't believe you hid
the Phoenix Heart Token

32:10.103 --> 32:12.023
at the old Nandu Wharf.

32:12.743 --> 32:13.423
Guards,

32:14.023 --> 32:16.663
seal off all the mines
at the foot of the mountain

32:16.663 --> 32:18.743
and let no one get out of there.

32:18.823 --> 32:19.423
-Understood.
-Understood.

32:19.423 --> 32:20.663
Take Her Highness away

32:20.823 --> 32:21.663
and lock her up.

32:22.223 --> 32:22.823
Cui Jun!

32:23.343 --> 32:24.503
You broke your word!

32:24.543 --> 32:25.783
It's not the first time.

32:25.783 --> 32:28.663
Aren't you afraid
that everything I told you is fake?

32:28.663 --> 32:31.503
The worst case is that I'll kill both you

32:32.023 --> 32:33.063
and your daughter.

32:33.303 --> 32:34.103
Take her away.

32:41.983 --> 32:44.223
Stop wandering. You're making me dizzy.

32:45.303 --> 32:47.783
Do you think Qing Long and Yan Yue
have been caught?

32:47.783 --> 32:48.983
Where are your reinforcements?

32:48.983 --> 32:50.023
Why hasn't there been any response?

32:50.023 --> 32:51.023
Rest assured.

32:51.703 --> 32:53.223
Before I entered Lingfeng Fort,

32:53.223 --> 32:55.823
the reinforcements were already
on their way.

32:56.943 --> 32:58.583
I didn't come here because of

32:58.583 --> 33:00.343
the Princess's family letter.

33:00.703 --> 33:01.783
Before I came here,

33:02.223 --> 33:03.783
some people in the Beifu Army

33:03.783 --> 33:06.063
contracted the same strange disease
as those in the mines.

33:06.063 --> 33:07.343
They ate the rations
issued by the imperial court

33:07.343 --> 33:09.023
that had been soaked
in contaminated water.

33:09.023 --> 33:11.103
And those rations came from Guazhou.

33:11.503 --> 33:14.263
Someone must have learned
the secret about Guazhou

33:14.263 --> 33:16.023
and dragged the Beifu soldiers into this

33:16.023 --> 33:17.623
just in order to lure me here.

33:18.063 --> 33:19.583
It can not only deal a blow
to the Beifu Reform

33:19.583 --> 33:21.263
but also destroy the Cui family.

33:21.263 --> 33:22.943
I guess the person behind this

33:24.663 --> 33:25.503
is the Grand Tutor.

33:25.503 --> 33:26.263
My father?

33:26.983 --> 33:28.823
The Grand Tutor and the Cui family

33:29.063 --> 33:30.623
probably have a blood feud.

33:32.743 --> 33:34.023
Judging from the time,

33:35.503 --> 33:36.503
Li Mao must have

33:37.063 --> 33:39.223
raided the Cui Mansion in Jiankang by now.

33:39.223 --> 33:41.143
The people he dispatched from Jiankang

33:41.143 --> 33:42.303
should arrive in a few days.

33:42.303 --> 33:44.463
You... Why didn't you tell me earlier?

33:44.503 --> 33:45.743
You guys, go there.

33:45.823 --> 33:46.423
-Understood!
-Understood!

33:46.423 --> 33:46.983
And you.

33:47.263 --> 33:48.743
They are locked up in the cell ahead.

33:48.743 --> 33:49.503
Understood.

33:49.663 --> 33:50.863
What is he doing here?

33:53.023 --> 33:54.303
Sealing off the mines.

33:56.223 --> 33:57.143
Don't be afraid.

34:00.983 --> 34:02.343
According to my master's order,

34:02.343 --> 34:03.743
you two are distinguished guests,

34:03.743 --> 34:05.463
and the path
to the afterlife is a painful one.

34:05.463 --> 34:07.183
If you want to die a quick death,

34:07.263 --> 34:08.383
you can take this poison.

34:08.383 --> 34:09.503
It seems that Cui Jun

34:09.903 --> 34:11.383
really wants me dead.

34:15.183 --> 34:16.023
Master!

34:23.343 --> 34:23.903
Master.

34:25.343 --> 34:26.583
Where have you been the past few days?

34:26.583 --> 34:29.103
I don't even want to bring it up.
You wouldn't believe me.

34:29.103 --> 34:30.103
The past few days,

34:30.343 --> 34:33.303
I've been eating well
for all 3 meals every day.

34:33.543 --> 34:34.943
Except for that mute
who delivered the food,

34:34.943 --> 34:36.103
I didn't see anyone else.

34:36.103 --> 34:36.583
Wait,

34:36.703 --> 34:37.983
w-why? There's no way!

34:38.023 --> 34:39.023
Look...

34:40.303 --> 34:41.063
Hurry.

34:41.303 --> 34:42.183
Sorry.

34:44.103 --> 34:45.863
Where are Qing Long and Yan Yue?

34:47.583 --> 34:49.183
You were not led here by them?

34:49.223 --> 34:49.863
No.

34:52.463 --> 34:53.623
It was Cui Shao'an.

35:12.903 --> 35:14.623
The mines in the back mountain.

35:17.143 --> 35:19.943
The Cui family is grateful
for His Majesty's grace.

35:19.943 --> 35:22.463
I am willing to be
diligent and self-disciplined,

35:22.463 --> 35:24.063
strictly follow the imperial edict,

35:24.063 --> 35:26.543
form a marriage alliance with Prince Qi,

35:26.663 --> 35:29.743
and devote my absolute loyalty
and effort to the state.

35:29.783 --> 35:31.863
I will not fail His Majesty's grace.

35:36.023 --> 35:39.663
I, Cui Lingyi, am willing
to serve Prince Qi

35:39.663 --> 35:41.823
and be of one mind and principle
with His Highness

35:41.823 --> 35:43.303
to protect our family and state,

35:43.303 --> 35:45.343
with fidelity for the rest of my life.

35:45.783 --> 35:46.663
You may rise.

35:49.023 --> 35:49.863
Wait!

35:52.983 --> 35:54.223
You rebellious child!

35:54.303 --> 35:56.143
Today is your sister's big day
of being escorted as the bride.

35:56.143 --> 35:57.383
What are you going to do?

35:57.383 --> 35:59.863
Guards! Take my unfilial son out!

36:07.103 --> 36:08.503
I, Cui Shao'an, pay my respects

36:08.503 --> 36:10.023
to you, Princess Pingning.

36:10.023 --> 36:10.863
You killed...

36:11.103 --> 36:13.183
The one I killed is not my real sister.

36:13.423 --> 36:14.423
You brat!

36:19.303 --> 36:20.023
Cui Shao'an,

36:20.943 --> 36:22.143
what did you just say?

36:22.143 --> 36:23.543
My sister, Cui Lingyi,

36:24.103 --> 36:26.503
was killed by my father long ago,

36:26.903 --> 36:28.903
with her body destroyed overnight.

36:29.503 --> 36:30.823
If you don't believe me,

36:31.543 --> 36:34.143
Your Highness,
here is my sister's handwritten letter

36:34.143 --> 36:36.663
as well as the evidence
of the crimes that my Cui family

36:36.663 --> 36:38.343
has committed over the past 20 years,

36:38.343 --> 36:40.423
which my sister left behind
at the price of her life!

36:40.423 --> 36:42.343
Please take a look, Your Highness!

36:58.103 --> 37:00.623
What are these bloody contracts?

37:01.303 --> 37:03.783
Cui Jun, you've not only
run illegal private mines

37:03.783 --> 37:05.143
but also harmed young girls and children

37:05.143 --> 37:06.423
and made them mine for you,

37:06.423 --> 37:08.343
causing countless unjust deaths.

37:08.383 --> 37:10.943
Do you even care about
the imperial court and the people?

37:10.943 --> 37:13.303
How can you claim to stand with Prince Qi

37:13.503 --> 37:14.623
in protecting the state

37:14.623 --> 37:16.383
and carrying out a great cause?

37:16.943 --> 37:17.663
Guards!

37:22.023 --> 37:25.383
Your Highness, you came to Lingfeng Fort
with the armed Imperial Guards

37:25.383 --> 37:27.463
under the guise of escorting the bride.

37:27.463 --> 37:30.343
What are you up to?

37:33.463 --> 37:35.623
Cui Jun, are you trying to rebel?

37:35.863 --> 37:36.903
Listen up, guys.

37:37.503 --> 37:39.143
Whoever kills Li Lejun will be

37:39.223 --> 37:43.223
rewarded with 1,000 households'
tax revenues and 10,000 taels of gold!

37:59.423 --> 38:00.023
Brother!

38:00.903 --> 38:01.463
Sister!

38:03.943 --> 38:04.503
Brother!

38:06.783 --> 38:07.423
Brother!

38:11.863 --> 38:13.183
Kill them, and you'll be

38:13.183 --> 38:14.663
rewarded based on merits!

38:16.543 --> 38:17.903
Who dares to make a move?

38:22.423 --> 38:23.943
We're standing here today.

38:24.303 --> 38:25.503
You can make your move

38:25.583 --> 38:26.903
and kill all of us!

38:27.583 --> 38:28.943
But look at these faces.

38:29.143 --> 38:30.023
Are they any different

38:30.023 --> 38:31.663
from your own families?

38:33.423 --> 38:34.783
If you raise your blades to kill us today,

38:34.783 --> 38:36.583
someone will use the same blades

38:36.583 --> 38:38.543
to murder your families tomorrow!

38:59.183 --> 39:00.503
Bring her here!

39:02.783 --> 39:03.423
Mother!

39:04.863 --> 39:06.183
Xie Jiayu, Xiao Wuyi,

39:06.823 --> 39:08.223
if you take one more step forward,

39:08.223 --> 39:09.343
I'll have Yunzhao

39:09.543 --> 39:11.223
die in front of you right away.

39:11.503 --> 39:12.303
Cui Jun,

39:13.463 --> 39:14.503
don't you dare.

39:21.823 --> 39:23.103
Xiao Wuyi, you...

39:23.503 --> 39:25.383
This is the Beifu Army's war drum.

39:25.783 --> 39:26.703
Xiao Wuyi,

39:27.383 --> 39:28.983
when did you set this up?

39:31.023 --> 39:32.743
Since the moment Princess Yunzhao told you

39:32.743 --> 39:35.023
the Phoenix Heart Token's whereabouts.

39:45.583 --> 39:46.663
Qing Long, Yan Yue!

40:02.663 --> 40:04.823
This is the totem
of Northern Qin's Eagle King.

40:04.823 --> 40:07.223
Yes, they are all
the Eagle King's henchmen

40:07.543 --> 40:08.863
from Northern Qin.

40:09.023 --> 40:09.663
Cui Jun,

40:10.463 --> 40:13.463
the Eagle King of Northern Qin is
the client of your private mines.

40:13.463 --> 40:16.103
You have been colluding
with Northern Qin all along.

40:16.103 --> 40:17.703
How audacious you are.

40:19.903 --> 40:20.623
Cui Jun,

40:21.543 --> 40:22.703
over 20 years ago,

40:22.903 --> 40:24.823
when Northern Qin attacked the Capital,

40:24.823 --> 40:25.503
you were accusing

40:25.503 --> 40:27.423
the An and Lu families for the first time.

40:27.423 --> 40:31.263
Could it be that you had already colluded
with Northern Qin back then,

40:31.503 --> 40:34.103
causing the horrible bloodshed
in the Capital?

40:34.103 --> 40:35.583
What horrible bloodshed?

40:36.223 --> 40:39.903
I only know that the Ans and Lus conspired
with the enemy and committed treason.

40:39.903 --> 40:42.383
I only know that Emperor Wenxi was
licentious and brutal,

40:42.383 --> 40:44.583
bringing destruction
to the state and families.

40:44.583 --> 40:45.383
How dare you!

40:46.303 --> 40:48.423
How dare you slander the late Emperor?

40:48.743 --> 40:49.743
Don't forget that

40:49.943 --> 40:51.743
you are Empress Wenxi's brother

40:52.383 --> 40:54.383
and the Phoenix Heart Token holder,

40:54.463 --> 40:56.063
bearing the responsibility
of moving Ye south

40:56.063 --> 40:57.183
and assisting Crown Prince Wenxi...

40:57.183 --> 40:59.063
Crown Prince Wenxi died long ago!

40:59.063 --> 41:00.063
He is not dead!

41:03.103 --> 41:04.863
Crown Prince Wenxi is not dead?

41:07.623 --> 41:08.423
Tell me.

41:09.863 --> 41:11.383
Who is Crown Prince Wenxi?

41:11.863 --> 41:12.903
Where is he hiding?

41:24.903 --> 41:25.583
Mother!

41:31.783 --> 41:32.303
Mother.

41:33.503 --> 41:34.263
Are you okay?

41:34.263 --> 41:34.783
I'm fine.
