02:26.943 --> 02:33.223
(Ye Mansion)

02:33.223 --> 02:36.303
Li! Wait a moment, Li.

02:38.583 --> 02:39.983
You may get on the carriage first.

02:47.743 --> 02:49.023
Just get to the point.

02:50.703 --> 02:53.823
I want to know why you didn't expose me.

02:55.463 --> 02:56.863
That's because you helped me too.

02:57.903 --> 02:59.703
You helped me scare Father.

02:59.903 --> 03:01.303
I helped you hide your secret.

03:01.823 --> 03:03.863
We helped each other, so we're even.

03:04.903 --> 03:06.103
Don't you hate me?

03:07.463 --> 03:08.463
For what?

03:09.263 --> 03:11.383
For trying to steal my dowry

03:12.023 --> 03:13.583
and my mother's shop?

03:14.823 --> 03:17.463
But I already took all of those back.

03:18.023 --> 03:22.263
And I also made you lose face in public.

03:27.303 --> 03:28.863
I married your father,

03:29.703 --> 03:30.983
which caused your mother...

03:31.463 --> 03:33.143
That matter has nothing to do with you.

03:34.143 --> 03:35.463
Even without you back then,

03:36.423 --> 03:38.703
they would still have driven my mom out.

03:39.463 --> 03:42.023
If Father hadn't married you,
he would have married someone else.

03:42.583 --> 03:46.623
If I should hate anyone,
it should be him, not you.

03:49.303 --> 03:51.543
Ye Wenhua is heartless, faithless,

03:51.983 --> 03:53.023
cowardly, and incompetent.

03:53.983 --> 03:55.983
He is not a good man for any woman.

03:56.263 --> 03:59.103
Marrying him might not
be a good thing for you.

03:59.703 --> 04:01.903
How you live your life
is your own business.

04:01.903 --> 04:03.463
I shouldn't interfere too much.

04:03.903 --> 04:05.463
But Ye Rong is a good child.

04:06.423 --> 04:07.703
Be a responsible mother.

04:10.383 --> 04:12.703
And Ye Ying

04:13.583 --> 04:15.383
needs your care as well.

04:16.503 --> 04:18.063
I hope that before you act,

04:18.823 --> 04:20.743
you remember to think more about them.

04:22.143 --> 04:23.063
I will.

04:24.823 --> 04:25.623
Thank you.

04:28.583 --> 04:30.263
I'm leaving now. Take care.

04:32.383 --> 04:33.183
Li.

04:35.743 --> 04:37.063
Will you ever come back?

04:40.263 --> 04:42.783
(Ye Mansion)

05:17.663 --> 05:19.863
(Ye Mansion)

06:43.383 --> 06:44.183
Li.

06:46.183 --> 06:47.183
What are you doing?

06:49.743 --> 06:50.703
I'm hungry.

06:57.583 --> 06:59.743
You said you were hungry, right? Eat up.

07:00.743 --> 07:01.743
You can actually cook?

07:02.263 --> 07:04.183
It's just a simple meal.

07:07.503 --> 07:09.303
If you're hungry, just let Ding cook.

07:09.703 --> 07:11.623
No matter how late it is,
he can cook for you.

07:12.143 --> 07:13.303
Stop eating only sugar.

07:13.943 --> 07:15.143
I love sugar.

07:15.743 --> 07:18.063
But on Lishan Mountain,
there was no sugar.

07:18.823 --> 07:19.943
Isn't there honey to eat?

07:21.503 --> 07:22.623
It's just not the same.

07:23.263 --> 07:24.303
After there was no sugar,

07:24.743 --> 07:26.743
year after year,
I missed it more and more.

07:27.383 --> 07:28.623
Back then, I thought I wouldn't

07:28.743 --> 07:30.503
eat meals anymore
after leaving the mountain.

07:30.503 --> 07:32.583
For my three meals a day,
I'll just eat sugar.

07:43.263 --> 07:44.023
Alright, enough.

07:44.023 --> 07:44.823
Stop adding more.

07:50.183 --> 07:51.023
Li.

07:53.263 --> 07:54.263
Are you alright?

07:57.823 --> 07:58.623
I mean,

07:59.743 --> 08:03.423
since returning from Ye Mansion,
have you been alright?

08:06.583 --> 08:09.263
Of course, I am perfectly fine.

08:16.263 --> 08:17.743
Can this still taste good?

08:19.183 --> 08:21.423
It's delicious. Try it.

08:30.383 --> 08:31.183
It's good, right?

08:41.503 --> 08:42.463
I'm so full.

08:45.143 --> 08:46.263
Can you still fall asleep?

08:46.743 --> 08:47.543
Yes.

08:48.503 --> 08:51.103
Some people like to take a walk
when they overeat.

08:51.143 --> 08:53.623
Some people like to just sleep it off.

08:54.023 --> 08:56.463
My grandfather said this is a food coma,

08:56.543 --> 08:59.383
just like when people drink too much
and want to sleep.

09:01.223 --> 09:02.023
Stop.

09:04.023 --> 09:05.103
Close your eyes.

09:16.543 --> 09:17.383
Open your eyes.

09:20.983 --> 09:22.863
Qingyu brought this from Ye Mansion.

09:23.223 --> 09:24.743
I know it's something you treasured.

09:25.743 --> 09:28.743
It was broken,
so I had a craftsman fix it.

Doesn't work start at the Mao hour?

11:23.663 --> 11:24.863
It's still early.

11:25.503 --> 11:26.263
What's wrong?

11:28.383 --> 11:29.743
I want you to take a walk with me.

11:30.463 --> 11:31.263
A walk?

11:33.463 --> 11:34.663
But I'm a cripple.

11:35.503 --> 11:36.343
I'll push you.

11:39.383 --> 11:40.103
Alright.

11:47.263 --> 11:48.863
What did His Highness call himself?

11:49.023 --> 11:49.863
A cripple.

11:50.863 --> 11:52.183
Are you crazy? So loud.

11:52.183 --> 11:52.823
Come on.

11:53.543 --> 11:54.863
Didn't you ask me?

11:56.743 --> 12:00.103
I'm shocked. Her Highness is admirable.

12:05.863 --> 12:06.903
Send it to the Prefecture.

12:10.023 --> 12:10.863
Slow down.

12:12.263 --> 12:13.623
When my mom left the mountain,

12:14.743 --> 12:16.343
she was only 19.

12:16.783 --> 12:19.503
As soon as she entered the capital,
she met my father.

12:21.103 --> 12:21.863
At that time,

12:22.623 --> 12:25.623
the Ye family was just ordinary,
living outside the city outskirts.

12:26.263 --> 12:27.503
They were not rich,

12:28.223 --> 12:30.503
with an empty shell
of a scholarly family.

12:31.103 --> 12:33.263
My mom saw that my father was handsome,

12:33.503 --> 12:36.143
fell in love at first sight,
and wanted to marry him.

12:36.623 --> 12:38.343
Did your grandfather
agree to this match?

12:38.543 --> 12:39.623
Of course, he didn't.

12:40.783 --> 12:42.143
But he had no choice either.

12:42.503 --> 12:44.983
So, he simply let my mom have her way.

12:46.383 --> 12:49.863
Their marriage made a stir
in the capital back then.

12:50.783 --> 12:53.503
I heard the late emperor gave a mansion
to the Ye family

12:54.023 --> 12:56.383
along with a plaque
with an inscription, Family of Charity

12:56.783 --> 12:57.903
to be hung in their house.

12:59.023 --> 13:01.863
Red carpets lined the road,
and guards carried the bridal sedan.

13:02.103 --> 13:04.223
Eighty boxes of dowry,
full of gold and jewels.

13:04.743 --> 13:07.023
Even the accompanying maids
were dressed better

13:07.343 --> 13:09.383
than the ladies
from ordinary official families.

13:10.263 --> 13:12.383
You talk as if you saw it
with your own eyes.

13:12.743 --> 13:14.983
It was a grand wedding, known to all.

13:18.223 --> 13:21.983
My grandfather often said
my mom's life was too smooth.

13:22.503 --> 13:24.343
Even heaven couldn't stand it,

13:25.263 --> 13:27.543
so they made her suffer
by marrying my father.

13:28.383 --> 13:31.383
My grandmother disliked her;
my uncle was domineering,

13:32.023 --> 13:33.143
and my father was cowardly.

13:34.103 --> 13:36.503
At first, they were afraid of Lishan.

13:37.143 --> 13:39.383
My mom lived peacefully.

13:40.383 --> 13:44.383
But after Lishan Mountain was closed,
their attitudes changed.

13:45.383 --> 13:48.743
They became harsh,
even wanting to drive her to death.

13:49.743 --> 13:50.783
You told me about this.

13:51.223 --> 13:53.783
Your mom was seriously ill
and was cast out of the house.

13:54.383 --> 13:55.903
Later, she died at Zhengyi Temple.

13:57.663 --> 13:58.743
I lied to you.

14:03.903 --> 14:05.383
My mom's death was suspicious.

14:06.343 --> 14:07.863
I had always suspected it.

14:08.383 --> 14:10.383
I didn't know the truth
until the day of the banquet.

14:12.543 --> 14:14.143
My grandmother killed my mom.

14:17.263 --> 14:20.023
Back then,
when my mom was seriously ill,

14:21.143 --> 14:24.223
I found my father,
wanting him to see her one last time.

14:25.383 --> 14:26.983
This act enraged my grandmother.

14:27.623 --> 14:31.623
When I was away looking for a physician,
she murdered my mom.

14:35.383 --> 14:38.623
So that day,
you returned to Ye Mansion for revenge.

14:40.863 --> 14:42.543
They stole a very important item

14:43.143 --> 14:44.383
from my mom.

14:45.343 --> 14:46.543
I made a plan.

14:47.143 --> 14:49.463
(I hired someone
to pretend to be a wizard.)

14:50.023 --> 14:51.623
(I also found Ms. Wang's weakness)

14:52.143 --> 14:53.743
(and had her help me scare my father.)

14:57.263 --> 14:58.023
Go away.

14:58.023 --> 14:59.743
(My father felt guilty towards my mom,)

14:59.903 --> 15:02.383
so with just a little scare,
he lost his wits.

15:03.663 --> 15:05.103
Have you found the item now?

15:06.743 --> 15:07.663
I have some leads.

15:11.863 --> 15:13.103
Do you still hate them?

15:21.383 --> 15:22.143
Mo Xiuyao,

15:23.743 --> 15:27.503
do you think there will be a day
when the sun doesn't shine?

15:31.903 --> 15:34.903
The sun rises and sets
in an endless cycle.

15:36.023 --> 15:39.343
Tomorrow is a new day.

15:53.263 --> 15:54.863
My pinwheel spins faster than yours!

15:55.143 --> 15:55.863
Wait a moment.

15:57.783 --> 15:58.663
Stop blowing!

15:58.783 --> 15:59.863
You're cheating.

16:00.023 --> 16:00.903
I'm going to blow.

16:01.023 --> 16:01.863
Take a look.

16:02.023 --> 16:03.263
How much is this pinwheel?

16:03.263 --> 16:04.223

17:25.423 --> 17:26.263
Going home?

17:27.783 --> 17:28.903
Send her home.

17:28.943 --> 17:29.743
No need.

17:30.743 --> 17:32.023
I want to walk by myself.

Five wen for a skewer!

17:51.463 --> 17:52.263
Want one?

17:53.983 --> 17:54.743

17:54.743 --> 17:55.583
Five wen.

17:55.583 --> 17:56.463
Want one?

18:03.623 --> 18:05.703
(Xiangqi Pavilion)

18:17.503 --> 18:19.823
Well? Did you find out the whereabouts
of the edict?

18:21.743 --> 18:23.263
Tell me. Who has it?

18:24.503 --> 18:25.583
The current Dowager Consort,

18:25.783 --> 18:26.583
Qin Zheng.

18:30.583 --> 18:33.103
(I thought it was Marquis Muyang
who pressured the Ye family.)

18:33.703 --> 18:36.623
(Turns out it was Qin Zheng
who took the edict.)

19:01.503 --> 19:02.463
You're awake.

19:04.063 --> 19:06.263
You shouldn't have come often.

19:06.583 --> 19:08.023
What if your father finds out?

19:09.063 --> 19:10.223
It doesn't matter.

19:10.903 --> 19:12.263
I just like you.

19:12.983 --> 19:14.263
And the Empress Dowager dotes on you.

19:16.303 --> 19:17.903
I know you well.

19:18.103 --> 19:19.743
So, what brings you here?

19:20.503 --> 19:21.263
Look at this.

19:22.063 --> 19:22.903
How did this happen?

19:23.703 --> 19:25.743
Calluses from riding
and archery practice.

19:27.583 --> 19:29.023
What does this have to do with me?

19:29.303 --> 19:31.063
I have nothing to do.

19:31.063 --> 19:33.223
Bored, so terribly bored.

19:33.783 --> 19:36.263
Qin Zheng, please help me
secure a position.

19:36.543 --> 19:38.023
With a job, I won't be bored.

19:38.223 --> 19:41.823
The Zhechong Prefecture wants men
good at archery and horsemanship.

19:42.023 --> 19:44.223
I've been training hard
and improved a lot.

19:44.263 --> 19:45.583
I'm qualified to work there.

19:46.023 --> 19:47.463
I can help you find a job,

19:47.983 --> 19:49.343
but not in the Zhechong Prefecture.

19:49.903 --> 19:52.223
Real fights happen there.

19:52.223 --> 19:55.543
If anything should happen to you,
how would I explain it to your father?

19:56.543 --> 19:58.223
Then why can Qin Cang do it?

20:00.663 --> 20:03.183
He has campaigned in Huaixi for years.

20:03.423 --> 20:04.263
Why compare?

20:05.943 --> 20:08.423
Anyway, you just have to help me.

20:11.303 --> 20:12.903
Qin Cang also just returned, right?

20:15.663 --> 20:17.703
You are both brothers.
Why must you compete with him?

20:18.263 --> 20:19.503
I'm not his brother.

20:19.783 --> 20:21.103
His surname is Qin. Mine is Zhou.

20:22.023 --> 20:23.823
You are both your father's sons,

20:24.183 --> 20:25.943
just with different surnames.

20:26.703 --> 20:29.583
Blood ties cannot be erased.

20:33.743 --> 20:35.463
Since you hold your father in awe,

20:36.183 --> 20:38.223
do you really not
acknowledge your brother?

20:45.023 --> 20:48.183
Fine! If you don't do it,
he won't do it either.

20:48.423 --> 20:49.263
Happy?

20:50.223 --> 20:51.703
Qin Zheng

20:52.903 --> 20:55.583
is sophisticated,
with a good background.

20:56.263 --> 20:57.703
She is also decisive and ruthless.

20:58.183 --> 20:59.103
One more thing,

21:00.023 --> 21:01.583
I don't know why

21:01.783 --> 21:05.063
she fully believed
the Empress Dowager was the chosen one.

21:05.423 --> 21:08.063
So, since she entered the palace,
she's been close to the Empress Dowager.

21:08.543 --> 21:11.183
And whatever the Empress Dowager did,
she gave her full support.

21:18.743 --> 21:20.223
Now I somewhat doubt

21:20.503 --> 21:23.023
if the edict is really in her hands.

21:24.263 --> 21:24.983
Why?

21:26.343 --> 21:28.583
That edict involves the Heiyun Cavalry

21:29.103 --> 21:30.583
and the Empress Dowager's reputation.

21:30.903 --> 21:33.703
Would she really keep such an item
in her possession?

21:35.103 --> 21:37.743
Whether against Lishan
or the former Prince Ding,

21:37.983 --> 21:40.183
it was Marquis Muyang who acted.

21:40.223 --> 21:42.223
He is the blade
in the Empress Dowager's hand.

21:42.503 --> 21:43.903
But why did Dowager Consort Qin

21:43.903 --> 21:46.343
take the edict
from Ye Mansion in the end?

21:46.943 --> 21:48.063
If she has ulterior motives,

21:48.503 --> 21:51.703
she will surely hold onto the edict.

22:02.183 --> 22:02.983
Guard Qin.

22:04.503 --> 22:05.303
Young Lord.

22:05.783 --> 22:06.663
Heading out?

22:08.263 --> 22:09.023
Yes.

22:11.063 --> 22:13.463
Did you just come back
from the Linjiao Courtyard?

22:14.223 --> 22:15.543
I chatted with the Dowager Consort.

22:16.223 --> 22:17.463
She gave me a fine horse.

22:17.583 --> 22:19.423
It's a good horse from Cangbei.

22:20.263 --> 22:22.343
However, I'm not fond
of riding and archery.

22:23.063 --> 22:25.263
But you're skilled
in riding and archery.

22:25.463 --> 22:27.983
How about I give the fine horse to you?

22:30.543 --> 22:31.343
No, but thanks.

22:34.503 --> 22:35.943
(Astrology)
(Astrological Divination)

22:43.503 --> 22:44.823
Are you interested in this?

22:46.703 --> 22:47.423
You know what?

22:47.423 --> 22:49.823
The Dowager Consort
has quite a deep understanding

22:49.823 --> 22:50.903
of astrology.

22:51.423 --> 22:54.023
She says all things in the world
have their own ways.

22:54.583 --> 22:57.263
Fathers and sons, brothers,
all have their own bonds.

22:58.103 --> 22:59.223
If you are interested,

22:59.463 --> 23:00.903
how about I take you

23:00.903 --> 23:02.423
to see the Dowager Consort next time?

23:05.023 --> 23:05.823
No need.

23:15.463 --> 23:18.703
(Jingzhao Prefecture)

23:23.503 --> 23:24.263
Prefect Mo.

23:25.583 --> 23:28.263
Someone has reported
that eight years ago, Ye Wending,

23:28.463 --> 23:31.023
along with his servant, Sun Fu,

23:31.463 --> 23:33.023
murdered a maidservant.

23:33.743 --> 23:35.823
The whereabouts of the remains
are unknown.

23:36.503 --> 23:38.983
Take some men to Ye Mansion
and arrest Sun Fu.

23:39.423 --> 23:40.583
Make him confess,

23:41.023 --> 23:42.743
and find out where the body was buried.

23:44.023 --> 23:45.983
Ye Mansion?

23:46.463 --> 23:47.783
Your wife's family home.

23:48.343 --> 23:50.023
Is there another Ye Mansion
in the capital?

23:52.583 --> 23:53.983
That maidservant's name was Yanlu.

23:54.503 --> 23:56.543
Her family lived
in Tulin Alley, East Ward.

23:57.023 --> 23:59.743
Her parents are still alive,
and she has a young brother.

24:00.583 --> 24:02.423
Back then, after Sun Fu killed her,

24:02.503 --> 24:04.343
he lied to her family,
saying Yanlu had gone

24:04.343 --> 24:05.743
to Lishan Mountain with her masters.

24:06.503 --> 24:07.583
Once you find her dead body,

24:07.783 --> 24:10.823
if verified,
send her body to her family.

24:11.823 --> 24:13.103
- Yes.
- Yes.

24:19.023 --> 24:20.463
What about the Penglai Alley case?

24:26.503 --> 24:27.503
Here it is.

24:28.023 --> 24:30.263
Everyone who participated that day

24:30.303 --> 24:31.903
is on this list.

24:37.343 --> 24:39.903
Your Highness, why do you want
to investigate these people?

24:42.423 --> 24:45.023
After we received the news,
we immediately mustered our troops.

24:45.423 --> 24:47.503
Jingzhao Prefecture and Penglai Alley

24:47.823 --> 24:49.263
are three wards apart.

24:50.183 --> 24:52.343
Once we reached Penglai Alley,
we split into two groups.

24:52.703 --> 24:54.263
Four entrances on the front and back.

24:54.303 --> 24:56.023
At most,
the third quarter of the Xu hour.

24:56.263 --> 24:57.663
Our plan was flawless.

24:58.343 --> 25:01.023
Our timing was very tight.

25:01.983 --> 25:03.743
But just as we were about
to capture Red Fox,

25:04.943 --> 25:06.823
someone rushed over and rescued him.

25:07.503 --> 25:10.423
So, you suspect someone among us
leaked the information?

25:13.583 --> 25:14.983
They ran into us.

25:15.303 --> 25:17.263
It means they must have
just received the message.

25:17.583 --> 25:18.583
So the leaker

25:20.223 --> 25:22.223
is among the guards we brought along.

25:23.023 --> 25:23.983
Go and investigate.

25:24.543 --> 25:27.823
Find out who wasn't at the scene
when we tried to capture Red Fox,

25:28.303 --> 25:30.703
or who left midway.

25:32.023 --> 25:34.583
I took a rough look at this list.

25:34.743 --> 25:37.023
They are all newcomers
without deep roots in the capital.

25:37.023 --> 25:38.263
If someone turned traitor,

25:38.303 --> 25:41.263
it's likely that they were bought off
with money.

25:42.743 --> 25:45.023
Then check their recent spending.

25:45.503 --> 25:48.823
Who has purchased property?
Who is in debt?

25:48.983 --> 25:49.983
Investigate it clearly.

25:50.303 --> 25:52.263
Since it is someone who can be bought,

25:53.103 --> 25:56.583
there must be a reason
they need the money.

25:58.503 --> 25:59.303
Yes.

26:07.103 --> 26:08.263
Your Highness, be careful.

26:08.543 --> 26:09.583
Don't burn yourself.

26:19.983 --> 26:22.023
Your Highness, let me do it.

26:22.263 --> 26:23.063
No.

26:41.463 --> 26:42.663
Your Highness, be careful.

26:43.423 --> 26:44.263
Your Highness.

26:51.903 --> 26:54.343
Any movement from Jingzhao Prefecture?

26:54.743 --> 26:56.263
They're investigating Yuan Fang's case.

26:56.583 --> 26:58.063
Although Red Fox gave himself away,

26:58.263 --> 26:59.663
I've sent him out of the city.

27:00.423 --> 27:02.023
This lead is now dead for them.

27:02.023 --> 27:03.263
You can be at ease for now.

27:04.023 --> 27:07.023
Are we just going
to watch them tread on us?

27:08.943 --> 27:10.983
Prince Ding is not our enemy.

27:12.743 --> 27:16.423
Mo Xiuwen died at the hands
of Zhou Jing and the Empress Dowager.

27:17.063 --> 27:20.423
Mo Xiuyao is bent on upending the case
of his brother and the Heiyun Cavalry.

27:22.423 --> 27:23.703
We can work with him.

27:25.903 --> 27:28.023
He's long since sided with the Emperor.

27:28.063 --> 27:29.263
What does that matter?

27:30.263 --> 27:32.263
His goal is to deal with Marquis Muyang.

27:33.223 --> 27:35.183
The Empress Dowager
trusts Marquis Muyang.

27:35.503 --> 27:37.023
The greater Mo Xiuyao's power grows,

27:37.023 --> 27:39.983
the more fiercely the Emperor will fight
with the Empress Dowager.

27:42.503 --> 27:43.983
The situation is complex and dynamic.

27:44.263 --> 27:46.543
Things may not go exactly as you wish.

27:52.223 --> 27:56.023
Your Highness,
you can see the situation.

27:56.263 --> 27:58.743
Why are you bent on treating Mo Xiuyao
as a mortal enemy?

28:06.423 --> 28:07.423
Who let you in?

28:08.663 --> 28:10.423
I just knocked on the door.

28:17.503 --> 28:18.463
You're injured.

28:19.823 --> 28:23.263
I'm injured.
I accidentally fell yesterday.

28:23.263 --> 28:25.423
His Highness was just
helping dress my wound.

28:27.263 --> 28:28.503
I shall take my leave.

28:43.583 --> 28:46.263
That day, I saw you go out.

28:51.503 --> 28:54.583
You must have been mistaken.

28:55.223 --> 28:58.263
That day, I was dead drunk
and sleeping the whole time.

28:59.543 --> 29:00.823
How could I have gone out?

29:24.223 --> 29:26.263
How does it feel? Does it hurt?

29:27.183 --> 29:27.983
It doesn't hurt.

29:41.543 --> 29:42.343
Give it a try.

29:45.943 --> 29:47.263
You are recovering very well.

29:47.743 --> 29:49.543
Standing up is just a matter of time.

29:49.703 --> 29:50.823
No need to be so surprised.

29:51.103 --> 29:54.023
I also need to see how your leg recovery
is progressing,

29:54.263 --> 29:56.543
so I can prepare the next prescription
for you.

Your Highness.

34:10.263 --> 34:11.743

35:14.543 --> 35:16.383
How many more times
are you going to thank me?

35:16.903 --> 35:18.463
I'm truly very grateful to you.

35:21.143 --> 35:23.023
I never thought I would stand again.

35:24.623 --> 35:26.023
You healed my leg,

35:27.063 --> 35:28.703
but I was once suspicious of you,

35:29.503 --> 35:31.063
thinking you had ulterior motives.

35:31.623 --> 35:32.823
And I lost my temper with you.

35:34.023 --> 35:35.983
I promised to go
to your family home with you,

35:37.703 --> 35:39.103
but I broke my promise.

35:42.663 --> 35:43.823
Now I finally realize

35:44.823 --> 35:47.983
you actually didn't believe
I could cure your leg before.

35:49.703 --> 35:51.103
Since you didn't trust me,

35:51.703 --> 35:53.983
why did you agree
to let me treat your leg?

35:55.503 --> 35:56.423
You are so persistent.

36:14.703 --> 36:15.503
Your Highness.

36:16.703 --> 36:18.703
I heard you've lost your appetite

36:18.783 --> 36:20.343
and not slept well at night.

36:20.903 --> 36:23.983
I've prepared a soup to help you sleep.
Please have some, Your Highness.

37:01.223 --> 37:03.263
Why haven't you gone to work,
Your Highness?

37:04.063 --> 37:05.023
Today is a day off.

37:07.103 --> 37:09.703
Why do I feel like
Your Highness is always on leave?

37:13.503 --> 37:15.543
Jingzhao Prefecture collects case files

37:16.023 --> 37:17.503
and handles matters, large and small.

37:18.103 --> 37:18.983
My staff and I

37:19.263 --> 37:21.823
often work late every night.

37:22.743 --> 37:23.903
You think I'm not busy,

37:24.343 --> 37:26.383
but that's only because other officials

37:26.703 --> 37:29.023
go to banquets after work,

37:29.303 --> 37:31.783
while I never attend banquets

37:32.063 --> 37:33.343
and go straight home instead.

37:36.223 --> 37:38.503
Well then, it seems I was wrong.

37:46.623 --> 37:47.383
By the way,

37:48.263 --> 37:51.223
regarding your mom's maidservant, Yanlu,

37:52.623 --> 37:55.583
we found her dead body
and sent her body to her family.

37:56.623 --> 37:59.183
This case is now being handled
by Jingzhao Prefecture.

38:00.743 --> 38:02.583
How will they sentence Mr. Fu
and Ye Wending?

38:03.583 --> 38:04.663
The murderer will be dead.

38:05.103 --> 38:06.863
The accomplice will be removed
from office.

38:13.343 --> 38:14.383
I don't work today.

38:14.863 --> 38:17.623
Is there anything you want to do?
I can do it with you.

38:19.623 --> 38:21.263
There's nothing I want to do.

38:21.823 --> 38:23.063
What about things you want?

38:23.783 --> 38:26.983
Just name it, and I'll find it for you.

38:28.183 --> 38:28.743
Really?

38:32.703 --> 38:34.223
There are many things I want.

38:34.703 --> 38:36.663
Delicious foods, beautiful things,

38:36.983 --> 38:37.823
fun things,

38:37.983 --> 38:39.023
jewelry,

38:39.063 --> 38:40.183
houses,

38:40.263 --> 38:41.263
and antiques.

38:42.703 --> 38:43.343
Okay, let's go.

38:43.903 --> 38:44.703
Where to?

38:45.903 --> 38:47.223
Jin, prepare the carriage.

38:47.623 --> 38:48.143
Yes.

38:52.103 --> 38:55.303
(Jinbao Shop)

38:59.543 --> 39:00.583
Why did we come here?

39:01.543 --> 39:02.503
To buy something.

39:03.463 --> 39:05.143
No, I'm not going.

39:07.223 --> 39:10.143
Jinbao Shop is a rival to my shop.

39:10.983 --> 39:14.383
Jinbao Shop is always full of customers.

39:14.383 --> 39:15.623
It's infuriating enough.

39:15.623 --> 39:17.183
You want to buy things from that shop?

39:20.663 --> 39:21.783
Let's go to Shubao Shop.

39:22.103 --> 39:22.903
No.

39:24.303 --> 39:26.583
It's owned by the same proprietor
as Jinbao Shop.

39:27.183 --> 39:30.143
So are Qibao Shop,
Huibao Shop, and Linbao Shop.

39:31.583 --> 39:33.263
So, we can't go to any of these shops?

39:36.183 --> 39:40.023
If we rule those out,
only Shende Shop is left.

39:40.583 --> 39:42.303
I can't just take you to the Shende Shop

39:42.663 --> 39:45.223
and buy something for you
in your own shop.

39:45.703 --> 39:47.703
In any case, I can't benefit my rival.

39:48.183 --> 39:49.703
They won't earn a single coin from me.

39:52.303 --> 39:53.503
I'll pay, anyway.

39:54.623 --> 39:55.703
Pick whatever you like.

40:00.783 --> 40:01.383
Alright then.

40:11.063 --> 40:12.383
What would you like to buy?

40:13.103 --> 40:15.863
We here mainly deal in gold,
silver, jade, precious stones,

40:16.223 --> 40:18.183
porcelain, and ritual items.

40:19.183 --> 40:22.903
Over here is the celadon
we just received this morning.

40:22.903 --> 40:25.063
Is there anything you like?

40:26.183 --> 40:27.543
Not that impressive.

40:27.743 --> 40:29.143
Is there anything better?

40:31.023 --> 40:32.343
Is this your first visit?

40:32.703 --> 40:35.303
You might not know,
but our shop has a rule.

40:36.183 --> 40:39.743
Well, to see the better goods,
one must buy 10,000 qian worth of goods.

40:41.263 --> 40:44.183
But I want to see them now. Can't I?

40:44.783 --> 40:45.663
Well...

40:50.823 --> 40:51.743
Please wait a moment.

41:01.183 --> 41:04.303
Are you two here
to see our shop's celadon?

41:05.543 --> 41:07.703
Could you please rest
in the private room for a while?

41:08.143 --> 41:10.303
I'll have our staff
make some preparations

41:10.703 --> 41:14.183
and show you our finest celadon pieces.

41:14.823 --> 41:16.663
Aren't your shop's rules very strict?

41:17.503 --> 41:20.583
I heard new customers must
spend 10,000 qian to see better goods.

41:20.783 --> 41:22.983
This is my first time here,
and I'm still allowed?

41:24.463 --> 41:26.783
Rules are not fixed here.

41:27.183 --> 41:29.023
Your presence here is a great honor

41:29.263 --> 41:30.663
for our shop.

41:31.103 --> 41:32.463
Rules don't matter then.

41:33.663 --> 41:34.343
This way, please.

41:37.103 --> 41:39.663
(Preview)

41:40.663 --> 41:41.503
On January twelfth,

41:41.783 --> 41:43.103
(Lishan Academy)
Ye Li left the mountain alone

41:43.103 --> 41:44.183
(Lishan Academy)
with an imperial decree.

41:44.823 --> 41:46.183
(She left the mountain alone)

41:46.663 --> 41:48.103
(for the capital.)

41:48.703 --> 41:50.063
Why can't Qingshuang do it?

41:51.263 --> 41:52.103
Qingshuang?

41:53.703 --> 41:55.103
What do you say, Qingshuang?

41:56.583 --> 41:58.183
So, Her Highness is mentally sick?

41:59.343 --> 42:01.023
You want to overturn their case?

42:01.663 --> 42:02.703
Wait for the right time,

42:03.303 --> 42:04.703
and heaven will help us.
