[Adapted from the novel "My Queen" by Xie Lounan]

01:29.983 --> 01:32.983
[Episode 15]

01:52.303 --> 01:53.063
Your Majesty,

01:53.503 --> 01:54.583
after days of investigation,

01:54.583 --> 01:55.703
this is the only location we found.

01:56.423 --> 01:58.063
Kumor chose to set up camp here.

01:58.303 --> 01:59.223
With mountains on three sides,

01:59.223 --> 02:00.223
it's easy to defend and hard to attack.

02:00.663 --> 02:02.263
And their defenses are extremely tight.

02:02.343 --> 02:03.183
The Xiaoxing Guards

02:03.223 --> 02:05.103
haven't found a chance to slip inside.

02:05.783 --> 02:07.063
Any news of the Empress?

02:08.383 --> 02:09.223
Forgive me, Your Majesty.

02:09.703 --> 02:11.423
Kumor is still waiting for the peace delegation,

02:11.743 --> 02:14.263
so he is unlikely to harm her rashly.

02:14.543 --> 02:15.303
But

02:16.143 --> 02:18.583
the delegation hasn't arrived at the appointed time.

02:20.023 --> 02:21.343
What's Ling Jueding doing now?

02:21.863 --> 02:22.663
He's in the military camp

02:22.703 --> 02:23.543
and has made no move.

02:23.863 --> 02:25.423
At least he still has some sense left.

02:25.703 --> 02:27.303
If he acts now,

02:27.623 --> 02:30.023
Cangcang's identity will be exposed immediately.

[Jiangzhou]

02:53.823 --> 02:56.623
[Seek a secluded place. An honored guest will come.]

03:07.623 --> 03:08.263
Kumor.

03:10.303 --> 03:10.903
Kumor,

03:11.143 --> 03:13.023
what is that darn emperor, Xiao Huan, trying to pull?

03:13.143 --> 03:14.783
Didn't he say someone would arrive within five days?

03:14.823 --> 03:15.743
It's already the eighth.

03:15.743 --> 03:16.503
Where are they?

03:16.863 --> 03:17.983
Are they coming or not?

03:18.543 --> 03:20.423
We have his empress in our hands.

03:20.703 --> 03:21.823
Why panic?

03:22.743 --> 03:23.903
He's the one who should be anxious.

03:24.143 --> 03:27.103
But is Lin Cangcang really his empress?

03:27.583 --> 03:28.983
If she weren't,

03:29.423 --> 03:32.063
would that darn emperor have sent a delegation at all?

03:32.863 --> 03:34.223
But if she is,

03:34.303 --> 03:35.703
why are they dragging their feet?

03:36.263 --> 03:38.343
Naturally, they want to test our patience.

03:40.543 --> 03:41.783
That makes sense.

03:43.023 --> 03:45.903
But what Lin Cangcang said didn't sound like lies.

03:46.303 --> 03:47.103
Minjia,

03:47.623 --> 03:48.703
there's never too much deception in war.

03:49.383 --> 03:51.343
Have you forgotten how we lost our provisions?

04:00.103 --> 04:01.463
If you're so curious,

04:02.143 --> 04:03.103
go and test her yourself.

04:04.463 --> 04:05.263
Test her?

04:06.143 --> 04:06.983
How?

04:28.863 --> 04:29.663
Your Majesty?

04:32.503 --> 04:35.143
Your subject Ling Jueding greets Your Majesty.

04:36.503 --> 04:37.263
Rise.

04:37.623 --> 04:38.503
Thank you, Your Majesty.

04:54.063 --> 04:56.143
It seems this outfit suits you well.

04:59.063 --> 05:00.063
It fits perfectly.

05:00.623 --> 05:02.983
Thank you for arranging it, Your Highness.

05:03.503 --> 05:05.103
You're a prisoner here.

05:05.143 --> 05:06.423
Why are you still so cheerful?

05:06.503 --> 05:07.303
Why shouldn't I be?

05:08.143 --> 05:09.783
I eat well and sleep well here.

05:10.023 --> 05:11.503
It's far better than wandering homeless.

05:13.303 --> 05:14.623
Slick talk.

05:14.823 --> 05:15.663
Lies upon lies.

05:16.063 --> 05:18.423
I truly don't know why Kumor values you so much.

05:18.503 --> 05:19.263
Indeed.

05:19.263 --> 05:21.223
It is strange that your brother values

05:22.023 --> 05:23.423
a thief like me so much.

05:24.503 --> 05:26.223
The more you insist you're a thief,

05:26.383 --> 05:27.783
the more suspicious you seem.

05:28.503 --> 05:30.423
Then Your Highness might as well treat me as the Empress.

05:31.063 --> 05:32.663
Since you're so easygoing,

05:32.943 --> 05:35.183
would you like to go for a ride with me?

05:35.823 --> 05:36.463
A ride?

05:37.183 --> 05:37.583
Yes.

05:39.063 --> 05:40.023
A perfect chance to get familiar

05:40.063 --> 05:41.063
with the terrain.

05:42.743 --> 05:43.503
All right.

05:48.383 --> 05:49.303
It just occurred to me.

05:49.623 --> 05:50.703
Your surname is Lin,

05:51.023 --> 05:52.823
and so is that of the Jiangzhou commander.

05:53.743 --> 05:54.903
Is that really a coincidence?

05:55.383 --> 05:56.703
Mine is Lin, as in "forest."

05:57.183 --> 05:59.743
The Jiangzhou commander's is Ling, as in "lingxiao flower."

06:00.503 --> 06:02.623
Different characters.

06:02.623 --> 06:03.663
Different pronunciations.

06:03.823 --> 06:04.583
Why,

06:05.183 --> 06:07.663
having fought General Ling for so long, you can't even

06:07.743 --> 06:08.703
get his surname right?

06:08.743 --> 06:09.183
You...!

06:10.023 --> 06:11.463
You're just a prisoner.

06:11.583 --> 06:12.903
What gives you the right to mock me?

06:15.383 --> 06:16.543
I spoke out of turn.

06:16.623 --> 06:17.503
Please forgive me, Your Highness.

06:18.423 --> 06:19.583
That's better.

06:19.823 --> 06:20.863
Don't forget.

06:21.023 --> 06:21.903
Your life

06:21.943 --> 06:23.983
is in my hands.

06:26.263 --> 06:26.903
Indeed.

06:27.583 --> 06:28.663
Wherever Your Highness wishes to go,

06:28.703 --> 06:30.183
I will follow

06:30.263 --> 06:30.983
and serve you.

06:31.623 --> 06:32.903
You sure are adaptable.

06:33.623 --> 06:35.303
Now I'm really inclined to believe

06:35.623 --> 06:37.023
you're just a thief.

06:37.383 --> 06:38.023
Let's go.

06:38.583 --> 06:39.063
Yes.

07:03.263 --> 07:04.063
Your Majesty,

07:04.303 --> 07:05.383
their force is thin.

07:05.823 --> 07:07.423
Should we seize Her Majesty now?

07:07.423 --> 07:08.223
Not yet.

07:08.743 --> 07:10.143
They may have come out prepared.

07:10.183 --> 07:11.143
Send word to Ling Jueding.

07:11.583 --> 07:12.823
Tell him to act as circumstances require

07:12.823 --> 07:13.823
and put the big picture first.

07:15.023 --> 07:15.663
Understood.

07:37.743 --> 07:39.423
It's just a small city,

07:39.503 --> 07:40.423
yet Kumor's wasted

07:40.423 --> 07:42.063
so much time here.

07:42.063 --> 07:43.343
I want to see for myself

07:43.383 --> 07:45.023
what exactly they're capable of.

07:45.063 --> 07:45.623
Your Highness,

07:46.063 --> 07:47.783
the two armies are in a truce.

07:47.823 --> 07:49.423
This is provocation.

07:49.423 --> 07:50.543
So what if it is?

07:50.583 --> 07:51.783
You may be scared, but I'm not.

08:17.183 --> 08:18.863
Who goes there?

08:19.263 --> 08:20.383
Leave at once,

08:20.823 --> 08:22.063
and we may spare your lives!

08:22.623 --> 08:23.983
Come at us if you dare!

08:24.023 --> 08:25.303
You think I'm scared of you?

08:26.183 --> 08:27.703
Why is Minjia provoking them

08:28.263 --> 08:29.663
at the gates?

08:36.743 --> 08:37.543
General,

08:38.463 --> 08:39.463
it's Her Majesty.

08:46.903 --> 08:47.703
Bring me a bow.

08:47.743 --> 08:48.423
General,

08:48.743 --> 08:50.023
Her Majesty is down there.

08:50.143 --> 08:51.103
That's precisely

08:51.623 --> 08:52.863
why I have to do this.

08:53.343 --> 08:55.303

10:56.743 --> 10:57.343
Kumor!

11:01.143 --> 11:02.343
Who are you?

11:06.903 --> 11:07.823
What did you say?

11:07.863 --> 11:08.583
That's right.

11:09.343 --> 11:10.743
We used to be romantically involved.

11:10.903 --> 11:12.623
But we've already parted ways.

11:12.623 --> 11:13.703
Yes, we parted ways.

11:14.103 --> 11:15.303
But as you can see, I came after her.

11:16.023 --> 11:16.783
Tell me.

11:17.863 --> 11:19.343
How did you two meet?

11:19.743 --> 11:21.863
I founded Fenglai Pavilion back in Southern Chu.

11:21.863 --> 11:23.183
She was recruiting a hall master,

11:23.503 --> 11:24.543
so I went to apply.

11:24.743 --> 11:25.703
But she wouldn't choose me.

11:25.863 --> 11:27.423
He kept pestering me.

11:28.023 --> 11:29.183
Only later did I realize

11:31.343 --> 11:32.543
he had ulterior motives.

11:33.903 --> 11:34.983
What did he want?

11:35.143 --> 11:35.663
He...

11:38.223 --> 11:39.263
he wanted me.

11:40.143 --> 11:41.183
Love at first sight?

11:41.223 --> 11:42.983
She wanted to rescue the abducted youths.

11:43.623 --> 11:44.783
Even while gravely poisoned,

11:45.263 --> 11:47.183
she still tried to protect me out of duty

11:47.623 --> 11:48.423
as the Sect Leader.

11:48.743 --> 11:49.863
He did help me rescue

11:49.863 --> 11:51.743
those children trapped in the mine,

11:52.663 --> 11:54.143
and he risked his life for me

11:54.663 --> 11:55.983
in the process.

11:56.103 --> 11:57.343
So you fell in love with him too?

11:57.383 --> 11:58.623
Then why did she come to Jiangzhou?

11:58.623 --> 11:59.863
Why did you break up?

11:59.863 --> 12:01.183
And why did you come?

12:03.903 --> 12:04.783
We were incompatible.

12:05.383 --> 12:06.103
That's it?

12:06.143 --> 12:08.983
She thought I couldn't give her the freedom she wanted,

12:09.143 --> 12:10.183
so she left me.

12:11.143 --> 12:12.583
As for why and how

12:12.623 --> 12:13.423
she came here,

12:13.463 --> 12:14.623
I have no idea.

12:15.863 --> 12:17.543
I just wanted to find her.

12:18.263 --> 12:20.303
I heard someone spotted her in Jiangzhou,

12:20.743 --> 12:21.703
so I came.

12:25.143 --> 12:25.903
Kumor,

12:26.023 --> 12:27.343
why aren't you saying anything?

12:28.463 --> 12:30.263
Everything they said matches.

12:31.263 --> 12:33.103
They met in the martial world.

12:33.383 --> 12:36.063
One is the leader of Fenglai Pavilion,

12:37.103 --> 12:38.783
and the other is a hall master chasing after her.

12:39.143 --> 12:41.743
They fought side by side, saved people with their swords,

12:41.743 --> 12:42.743
fell in love,

12:43.383 --> 12:44.183
and later

12:44.503 --> 12:46.543
broke up because of differences.

12:47.103 --> 12:48.423
Then Bai Chifan,

12:48.503 --> 12:50.823
still in love with Lin Cangcang,

12:51.263 --> 12:52.423
rushed here once he heard

12:52.463 --> 12:53.463
of her whereabouts.

12:56.743 --> 12:58.183
Are you still suspicious of them?

12:59.863 --> 13:01.543
It all seems too much of a coincidence.

13:02.343 --> 13:03.303
But they clearly

13:03.343 --> 13:05.143
had no time to coordinate a story.

13:05.543 --> 13:07.423
When I provoked the Jiangzhou garrison earlier today,

13:07.623 --> 13:09.503
Bai Chifan saved the two of us from the rain of arrows.

13:10.023 --> 13:11.743
When she saw him, Lin Cangcang was startled

13:12.023 --> 13:13.383
and even a bit repulsed.

13:13.743 --> 13:16.023
Her reaction did not look fake.

13:16.543 --> 13:17.783
I'm sure

13:17.783 --> 13:20.263
she had no idea Bai Chifan would turn up here.

13:21.743 --> 13:22.303
Yes,

13:24.103 --> 13:25.823
everything they said about Southern Chu

13:26.543 --> 13:28.063
lines up

13:28.543 --> 13:30.583
and sounds like lived experience,

13:30.743 --> 13:31.903
not something made up.

13:32.103 --> 13:33.463
But neither of them would elaborate

13:33.903 --> 13:35.383
on what happened after they left Southern Chu.

13:35.663 --> 13:37.583
It's perfectly normal not to speak

13:37.623 --> 13:39.183
of painful things after a breakup.

13:39.383 --> 13:40.343
Besides, Kumor,

13:40.503 --> 13:42.023
didn't you already test them?

13:42.263 --> 13:45.223
He didn't know she stole the Phoenix Seal

13:45.623 --> 13:47.503
or that she secretly joined the army.

13:48.143 --> 13:49.823
It makes sense that he knew nothing about all that

13:50.023 --> 13:51.303
since they had broken up.

13:52.503 --> 13:54.903
The fact that their stories line up so perfectly

13:55.863 --> 13:57.463
makes me even more uneasy.

13:58.023 --> 13:58.743
Kumor,

13:58.863 --> 14:00.343
you're overthinking it.

14:00.543 --> 14:03.023
The peace delegation will arrive sooner or later.

14:03.143 --> 14:04.623
You'll know her identity then,

14:04.743 --> 14:05.823
won't you?

14:07.463 --> 14:08.223
Besides,

14:08.623 --> 14:11.343
from the way Ling Jueding shot at us without hesitation,

14:11.623 --> 14:13.223
Cangcang is probably not the Empress.

14:13.623 --> 14:14.423
More importantly,

14:14.463 --> 14:15.983
the two of them saved me today.

14:16.023 --> 14:17.703
We can't repay kindness with cruelty, can we?

14:32.503 --> 14:34.463
You two saved me today.

14:34.623 --> 14:35.743
I'm truly grateful.

14:36.023 --> 14:36.983
Here's a toast to you both.

14:40.463 --> 14:41.623
No need for that, Your Highness.

14:41.863 --> 14:43.983
I only meant to save Cangcang.

14:44.343 --> 14:45.303
Saving you

14:45.623 --> 14:46.583
was pure coincidence.

15:03.143 --> 15:05.023
Mr. Bai, you traveled all this way for your beloved.

15:05.343 --> 15:06.743
How touching.

15:06.863 --> 15:07.663
General,

15:08.343 --> 15:10.223
I cut ties with this man long ago.

15:10.263 --> 15:11.383
He has nothing to do with me.

15:11.383 --> 15:12.103
Cangcang,

15:13.023 --> 15:14.703
even though we're no longer together,

15:15.343 --> 15:16.303
I can't bear

15:16.343 --> 15:18.543
to watch you treat yourself like this.

15:19.143 --> 15:20.983
Since we've gone our separate ways,

15:21.383 --> 15:22.623
what I do has nothing

15:22.743 --> 15:23.703
to do with you.

15:25.543 --> 15:26.383
Knowing you were captured,

15:26.663 --> 15:28.023
of course I was worried.

15:30.263 --> 15:31.903
You know perfectly well what it is

15:32.503 --> 15:33.743
you're truly worried about.

15:42.023 --> 15:42.783
Miss Lin,

15:43.103 --> 15:44.823
what do you think Mr. Bai is worried about?

15:45.263 --> 15:46.503
You should ask him.

15:48.623 --> 15:49.423
Cangcang,

15:50.263 --> 15:51.503
my feelings for you

15:51.783 --> 15:52.863
are genuine.

16:03.743 --> 16:04.543
Mr. Bai,

16:05.263 --> 16:06.463
did you come all this way

16:06.863 --> 16:08.703
only to take your beloved with you?

16:10.503 --> 16:11.263
Of course.

16:12.263 --> 16:13.743
She may have left me,

16:14.783 --> 16:15.983
but I still love her.

16:17.383 --> 16:18.303
Today,

16:19.023 --> 16:21.343
Minjia went to the Jiangzhou gates

16:21.743 --> 16:23.103
on a whim.

16:23.463 --> 16:24.983
Bringing Miss Lin along

16:25.023 --> 16:26.543
was even more spur-of-the-moment.

16:26.543 --> 16:28.623
So how is it that you

16:28.623 --> 16:31.023
just happened to be there?

16:31.463 --> 16:32.863
Were you

16:32.903 --> 16:35.343
lying in wait near my camp?

16:36.503 --> 16:37.103
Yes.

16:38.623 --> 16:40.463
You are honest indeed, Mr. Bai.

16:41.623 --> 16:42.903
I knew Cangcang had been taken,

16:43.383 --> 16:44.743
so I kept watch here day and night.

16:45.743 --> 16:47.103
I wasn't about to let go

16:47.383 --> 16:48.663
of even the faintest hope.

16:49.143 --> 16:50.183
In this bitter cold,

16:50.223 --> 16:51.543
night winds cut like knives.

16:51.783 --> 16:55.143
Your devotion to her truly runs deep.

16:56.543 --> 16:57.343
And

16:58.143 --> 16:59.703
I was rewarded.

17:00.623 --> 17:01.743
I found and saved her.

17:02.103 --> 17:03.543
What if you hadn't saved her?

17:05.183 --> 17:05.983
Then

17:06.823 --> 17:08.143
I would've died with her.

17:15.663 --> 17:16.423
Very well.

17:17.663 --> 17:20.223
I'll grant that wish

17:21.183 --> 17:22.103
and let you

17:22.583 --> 17:24.103
share life and death today.

17:24.783 --> 17:25.583
Guards!

17:25.943 --> 17:26.703
Yes, General!

17:27.503 --> 17:29.063
Take these two away.

17:29.463 --> 17:30.223
Yes, General!

17:48.463 --> 17:49.063
General.

17:55.823 --> 17:56.623
Miss Lin,

17:57.023 --> 17:57.863
step outside.

17:59.223 --> 18:00.703
Weren't you going to keep me locked up?

18:01.023 --> 18:01.903
What is this about?

18:01.943 --> 18:03.303
Come and see.

18:21.023 --> 18:22.343
What is this, General?

18:25.023 --> 18:26.583
Mr. Bai said earlier

18:26.583 --> 18:27.903
that he kept watch

18:28.023 --> 18:30.383
near my camp day and night just to rescue you.

18:31.263 --> 18:33.623
Since he's not afraid of Xijiang's freezing winds,

18:33.943 --> 18:35.183
I'd like to see

18:35.503 --> 18:37.103
how long he can endure them.

18:39.503 --> 18:42.023
I was just worrying about how to shake him off.

18:43.743 --> 18:45.063
Thank you, General, for helping me.

18:50.743 --> 18:52.743
You two were once in love.

18:53.023 --> 18:54.823
Miss Lin, don't you care at all?

18:55.583 --> 18:57.343
I've already chosen to leave him behind,

18:57.943 --> 18:59.223
so why cling to the past?

19:00.103 --> 19:01.223
Even so,

19:01.943 --> 19:04.063
he risked his life to rescue you.

19:04.703 --> 19:06.823
Can you really bear to watch him suffer?

19:07.023 --> 19:07.823
General,

19:08.823 --> 19:11.023
I'm your prisoner now.

19:11.023 --> 19:12.063
I can barely protect myself.

19:12.583 --> 19:14.143
How could I worry about anyone else?

19:19.903 --> 19:21.743
If you beg me,

19:23.023 --> 19:24.983
I might let him go.

19:31.023 --> 19:32.703
If begging really works,

19:34.023 --> 19:35.543
can I beg you to let me go?

19:37.343 --> 19:38.503
That's unlikely.

19:40.743 --> 19:42.543
He and I have nothing to do with each other.

19:43.223 --> 19:44.703
You may deal with him as you wish, General.

20:11.423 --> 20:12.343
What a pity.

20:13.663 --> 20:15.023
Your old flame

20:15.943 --> 20:17.983
doesn't seem to care for you at all.

20:19.023 --> 20:19.823
It doesn't matter.

20:20.903 --> 20:22.143
I came here of my own will.

20:23.263 --> 20:24.823
I accept whatever punishment comes my way.

20:32.303 --> 20:33.103
Interesting.

20:34.543 --> 20:35.623
You two...

20:36.223 --> 20:38.023
One is devoted, while the other

20:38.423 --> 20:39.623
is indifferent.

20:41.063 --> 20:42.143
Very well.

20:42.903 --> 20:44.583
Enjoy the cold.

21:13.263 --> 21:14.023
Minjia.

21:14.823 --> 21:15.503
Cangcang,

21:15.743 --> 21:16.863
why did you call for me?

21:17.023 --> 21:18.023
I knew you'd still be awake.

21:18.023 --> 21:18.623
Sit.

21:22.343 --> 21:23.343
I saw

21:23.343 --> 21:24.463
Bai Chifan

21:24.503 --> 21:25.623
tied to the pillar.

21:25.743 --> 21:27.063
He looked like he was about to die.

21:28.943 --> 21:31.223
I'm telling you your lover is dying.

21:33.663 --> 21:35.183
Do you really not care?

21:36.263 --> 21:37.423
Former lover.

21:39.663 --> 21:40.983
He's just my former lover.

21:41.503 --> 21:43.863
Why should I care?

21:44.943 --> 21:47.143
But he's handsome,

21:47.183 --> 21:48.263
skilled,

21:48.503 --> 21:49.983
and absolutely devoted to you.

21:50.023 --> 21:51.023
Don't tell me

21:51.183 --> 21:52.783
you feel nothing at all.

21:53.943 --> 21:54.783
In my opinion,

21:54.783 --> 21:55.903
life is short.

21:56.063 --> 21:57.663
Outcomes don't matter.

21:57.783 --> 21:59.023
Living each day well

21:59.023 --> 22:00.463
is what truly matters.

22:04.703 --> 22:06.263
Princess Minjia,

22:07.023 --> 22:08.703
are you feeling sorry for him?

22:09.583 --> 22:11.143
This isn't pity.

22:11.423 --> 22:13.063
I think he's a good man.

22:13.063 --> 22:14.263
I like him.

22:14.743 --> 22:15.983
If you don't want him,

22:16.023 --> 22:17.183
give him to me.

22:17.503 --> 22:19.983
I don't care about outcomes anyway.

22:20.023 --> 22:20.543
Sure.

22:21.303 --> 22:22.663
You can have him.

22:23.503 --> 22:24.303
But right now,

22:24.303 --> 22:25.983
he's probably freezing to death thanks to your brother.

22:26.783 --> 22:27.703
Not

22:27.743 --> 22:29.063
while I'm here.

22:36.823 --> 22:37.623
Xiao Huan,

22:38.223 --> 22:39.743
this is all I can do for you.

22:40.343 --> 22:42.743
♪Falling petals♪

22:43.663 --> 22:46.823
♪Petals drifting through the sky♪

22:49.903 --> 22:51.583
♪Echoes linger♪

22:52.983 --> 22:57.223
♪In the empty alleys at dawn♪

22:59.383 --> 23:03.103
♪You used to gaze into my eyes♪

23:04.223 --> 23:08.103
♪That watchful waiting once warmed a whole city♪

23:09.143 --> 23:12.223
♪In the embers, a few strands of warmth still remain♪

23:12.703 --> 23:15.863
♪The sky has faded to dusk♪

23:20.103 --> 23:21.183
What are you looking at?

23:23.743 --> 23:24.543
The stars.

23:25.223 --> 23:26.343
They are especially

23:26.743 --> 23:27.583
bright here.

23:28.543 --> 23:30.703
Haven't you seen stars before?

23:31.743 --> 23:32.983
It's been two years

23:34.503 --> 23:35.663
since I

23:35.943 --> 23:38.143
last looked up properly.

23:38.743 --> 23:40.223
You're unbelievable.

23:40.663 --> 23:41.743
In a situation like this,

23:41.903 --> 23:43.543
you still care about stargazing?

23:44.903 --> 23:47.023
At least we're under the same sky now.

23:47.663 --> 23:49.303
That's a kind of bond, isn't it?

24:01.823 --> 24:03.183
Just sharing

24:04.583 --> 24:06.383
the same sky is enough for you?

24:09.943 --> 24:11.303
Being able to see her again at all

24:12.023 --> 24:13.263
is already a rare blessing.

24:13.903 --> 24:15.583
I doubt I can hope for anything more.

24:18.503 --> 24:20.183
You're easy to satisfy.

24:22.063 --> 24:22.903
Too bad

24:23.463 --> 24:24.983
she said she didn't care for you anymore.

24:25.063 --> 24:26.423
She's giving you to me.

24:28.423 --> 24:29.623
Your Highness must be joking.

24:30.503 --> 24:31.983
A princess like you

24:32.343 --> 24:33.343
will find a fine match.

24:34.943 --> 24:36.343
You really are devoted.

24:37.503 --> 24:38.583
Let me warn you,

24:38.583 --> 24:41.063
the night winds here can freeze cattle and sheep to death.

24:42.263 --> 24:43.663
Aren't you afraid of the cold?

24:46.903 --> 24:47.703
No,

24:48.263 --> 24:49.063
I'm used to it.

24:53.183 --> 24:53.983
Here, Mr. Bai,

24:55.063 --> 24:56.543
take this cloak.

25:01.303 --> 25:02.703
Make it through the night.

25:17.503 --> 25:18.103
Kumor,

25:18.183 --> 25:19.223
I tested

25:19.463 --> 25:20.983
both of them as you said.

25:21.023 --> 25:22.263
I don't think they're faking it.

25:26.423 --> 25:27.183
Minjia,

25:28.063 --> 25:29.823
you grew up on the steppe.

25:30.303 --> 25:32.023
You don't know how cunning the Central Plains people can be.

25:32.503 --> 25:33.263
But Kumor,

25:33.663 --> 25:36.183
Bai Chifan saved my life.

25:36.503 --> 25:37.783
If you let him freeze to death,

25:38.663 --> 25:40.263
that wouldn't be right.

25:42.943 --> 25:43.703
Minjia,

25:44.903 --> 25:46.503
don't tell me you've taken a liking to him.

25:47.263 --> 25:48.343
Of course not.

25:48.503 --> 25:49.983
Why would I fall for someone

25:50.023 --> 25:51.463
whose heart belongs to another?

25:53.503 --> 25:56.063
I'm just touched by his devotion.

25:59.343 --> 26:00.223
Don't worry.

26:00.703 --> 26:01.863
He won't die yet.

26:02.263 --> 26:04.423
We'll decide his fate

26:04.463 --> 26:05.423
after the delegation comes.

26:07.943 --> 26:09.023
Is the hot water ready?

26:09.023 --> 26:09.783
Yes, Your Highness.

26:09.783 --> 26:10.983
The braziers are lit too.

26:11.183 --> 26:11.983
Mr. Bai,

26:12.343 --> 26:13.663
I've prepared a tent for you.

26:13.703 --> 26:15.343
Take a hot bath once you get there.

26:15.343 --> 26:16.183
I added herbs

26:16.223 --> 26:16.983
to help you warm up.

26:18.183 --> 26:19.143
Thank you, Your Highness.

26:19.543 --> 26:20.023
Come on,

26:20.023 --> 26:20.983
let's head back.

26:28.023 --> 26:29.183
Didn't expect that.

26:29.343 --> 26:31.263
You braved the northern wind all night and are still standing.

26:31.703 --> 26:33.143
It seems I underestimated you.

26:33.263 --> 26:35.103
I've roamed the martial world for years.

26:35.543 --> 26:37.223
A bit of cold wind

26:37.743 --> 26:38.503
is nothing.

26:39.343 --> 26:40.423
In that case,

26:40.823 --> 26:42.503
stay out for a few more nights.

26:42.743 --> 26:43.263
Kumor,

26:43.823 --> 26:45.543
I'm indebted to Mr. Bai.

26:45.663 --> 26:47.223
I won't let you treat him like this.

26:47.343 --> 26:48.063
Mr. Bai,

26:48.063 --> 26:48.783
let's go.

27:13.463 --> 27:14.223
Is she

27:14.743 --> 27:16.103
really not the Empress?

27:17.063 --> 27:17.583
General,

27:17.783 --> 27:19.183
the delegation from Great Qi is at the gate.

27:19.223 --> 27:19.823
Very well.

27:20.223 --> 27:21.183
Let them in.

27:21.223 --> 27:21.823
Yes, General.

28:16.503 --> 28:17.103
Cangcang.

28:17.103 --> 28:17.823
Minjia?

28:18.423 --> 28:19.543
The delegation from Great Qi is here.

28:20.503 --> 28:21.383
- They're here? - Let's go.

28:21.503 --> 28:22.303
Kumor's waiting for us.

28:22.943 --> 28:23.543
Come on.

28:51.023 --> 28:52.783
Du Tingxin, envoy of Great Qi,

28:53.543 --> 28:55.223
greets General Kumor.

28:58.543 --> 28:59.743
By order of His Majesty,

29:00.343 --> 29:02.103
I've come to negotiate peace.

29:04.503 --> 29:07.303
Looks like I hold quite a place in the eyes

29:07.383 --> 29:08.703
of the Emperor of Great Qi.

29:09.583 --> 29:11.263
He actually sent the Imperial Preceptor here.

29:11.943 --> 29:12.703
This shows

29:13.543 --> 29:15.143
His Majesty's sincerity.

29:15.263 --> 29:16.023
Very well.

29:16.903 --> 29:19.143
Then let me show your emperor

29:19.303 --> 29:20.703
my sincerity as well.

29:21.743 --> 29:22.503
Bring her up!

29:46.103 --> 29:46.823
General.

29:49.823 --> 29:50.703
Preceptor Du,

29:51.583 --> 29:53.743
aren't you going to kneel before your empress?

29:53.823 --> 29:54.663
The Empress?

29:56.023 --> 29:57.223
Where?

30:02.103 --> 30:03.823
Didn't the Emperor of Great Qi

30:04.223 --> 30:05.983
receive my letter?

30:07.423 --> 30:08.503
Calm down, General.

30:09.223 --> 30:11.783
I came precisely to address this matter.

30:16.463 --> 30:18.343
This is a handwritten letter from His Majesty.

30:19.103 --> 30:21.263
Please see for yourself.

30:40.383 --> 30:41.503
[The Phoenix Seal of Great Qi recently went missing.]

30:41.503 --> 30:42.903
[I heard it was found by General Kumor, so I sent a delegation]

30:42.903 --> 30:45.103
[to retrieve the stolen seal, reclaim the captives, and negotiate peace.]

30:51.743 --> 30:54.103
The Empress of Great Qi is still in the palace?

30:54.503 --> 30:55.023
Yes.

30:56.023 --> 30:57.943
Her Majesty is safe and sound.

30:58.663 --> 31:00.583
His Majesty sent this delegation

31:00.903 --> 31:02.303
to retrieve the stolen Phoenix Seal,

31:02.303 --> 31:03.583
reclaim the captives,

31:03.583 --> 31:05.263
and negotiate terms

31:06.103 --> 31:07.623
for peace.

31:09.183 --> 31:10.023
Preceptor Du,

31:10.823 --> 31:12.023
do you know this woman?

31:21.583 --> 31:23.103
This is the thief?

31:25.463 --> 31:27.503
How dare you steal the Phoenix Seal?

31:27.543 --> 31:28.583
Your crime is unforgivable!

31:28.983 --> 31:29.583
Guards,

31:30.223 --> 31:31.943
take her back to Jiangzhou for punishment!

31:31.983 --> 31:32.743
- Wait. - Understood.

31:36.543 --> 31:37.823
No need for all that trouble.

31:41.463 --> 31:43.143
According to custom in Xijiang,

31:43.783 --> 31:46.623
a thief's right hand is chopped off in public

31:46.823 --> 31:48.863
and thrown in the wilderness to feed the wolves.

31:50.423 --> 31:51.223
In that case,

31:52.023 --> 31:53.623
let's follow local custom.

31:59.583 --> 32:01.223
Do you have anything to say?

32:03.823 --> 32:04.623
General,

32:05.503 --> 32:06.623
to the Imperial Preceptor,

32:07.703 --> 32:09.903
I am indeed a thief who stole the Phoenix Seal.

32:10.503 --> 32:11.463
I have nothing to say.

32:25.103 --> 32:27.263
Please do the honors, Preceptor Du.

32:29.423 --> 32:31.103
Then please have your men

32:31.543 --> 32:33.783
hold the thief down.

32:52.783 --> 32:54.303
Preceptor Du, your inner force may be mediocre,

32:54.823 --> 32:57.703
but your resolve to chop off her hand is admirable.

32:58.303 --> 32:59.103
What is it?

33:00.263 --> 33:02.183
Have you changed your mind about punishing her?

33:03.743 --> 33:05.863
Since she is not the Empress of Great Qi,

33:06.543 --> 33:09.303
her matter can wait.

33:10.903 --> 33:12.103
Let us discuss real business.

33:13.023 --> 33:15.503
Since you were sent by the Emperor of Great Qi,

33:16.183 --> 33:17.703
you must have brought some token of sincerity.

33:22.743 --> 33:23.543
Bring it up!

33:46.023 --> 33:46.783
What is this?

33:47.023 --> 33:48.143
Do you think you can

33:49.343 --> 33:51.103
buy me off with a bit of money?

33:51.223 --> 33:54.023
This is 3,128 liang and nine qian of gold.

33:54.423 --> 33:55.743
It is not "a bit of money."

33:58.023 --> 34:01.583
This is the money people in Xijiang paid to purchase proper status

34:02.263 --> 34:04.383
after the status verification system was implemented last year.

34:04.943 --> 34:07.223
I had the Ministry of Revenue convert it into gold

34:07.823 --> 34:09.223
and brought it here to you.

34:09.783 --> 34:11.583
I didn't go through all this trouble

34:12.383 --> 34:14.023
for a bit of gold.

34:15.143 --> 34:16.943
Since the status verification system was enforced,

34:17.503 --> 34:19.623
those without proper status have been reduced to slaves.

34:20.183 --> 34:22.743
Ordinary folk have had no choice but to purchase good status.

34:23.623 --> 34:25.543
How is this any different from daylight robbery?

34:27.343 --> 34:28.903
If the system is not abolished,

34:29.623 --> 34:31.143
this gold you brought

34:31.623 --> 34:33.623
will be nothing but a drop in the ocean.

34:33.863 --> 34:34.823
General, mind your words.

34:36.223 --> 34:38.183
The status verification system is a national policy

34:38.863 --> 34:40.823
established to maintain order.

34:41.543 --> 34:43.303
How can it be abolished so easily?

34:43.343 --> 34:44.903
You are mistaken, Preceptor Du.

34:45.943 --> 34:47.463
Only when all people are free and equal

34:47.903 --> 34:49.463
can the land be at peace.

34:50.503 --> 34:51.743
As I see it,

34:51.823 --> 34:52.623
the status verification system

34:52.623 --> 34:55.063
is the very cause of chaos in the land.

34:55.503 --> 34:56.543
I am merely carrying out orders

34:56.543 --> 34:58.783
to deliver this gold to you, General.

34:58.983 --> 35:00.343
Matters regarding the system

35:01.783 --> 35:04.143
are not for me to decide.

35:07.063 --> 35:10.103
I've heard you're the Emperor of Great Qi's trusted aide.

35:10.783 --> 35:11.903
Seeing you today,

35:12.863 --> 35:13.983
I can't imagine why.

35:16.903 --> 35:18.023
I will report your thoughts

35:18.543 --> 35:20.543
to His Majesty.

35:22.383 --> 35:22.983
Good.

35:23.823 --> 35:25.263
Please do.

35:26.223 --> 35:28.103
When you decide to abolish

35:28.463 --> 35:29.903
the status verification system,

35:30.823 --> 35:32.103
I will consider

35:32.383 --> 35:33.503
when to withdraw my troops.

35:35.023 --> 35:36.623
General, are you truly turning down

35:37.943 --> 35:40.063
3,000 liang of gold?

35:40.943 --> 35:42.383
Did I say I was?

35:43.223 --> 35:44.903
Aren't the Phoenix Seal and the captives

35:45.343 --> 35:47.343
worth 3,000 liang of gold?

35:47.623 --> 35:49.423
General, how bold you are.

35:55.023 --> 35:55.543
Very well.

35:56.023 --> 35:57.183
In that case,

35:57.503 --> 35:59.503
the gold is yours.

35:59.783 --> 36:01.703
As for the captives, the Phoenix Seal, and her,

36:01.783 --> 36:03.143
I'm taking them all.

36:03.143 --> 36:05.783
Preceptor Du, you are being a bit too greedy.

36:06.223 --> 36:07.663
You may take the captives.

36:07.823 --> 36:08.863
As for the Phoenix Seal and her,

36:09.303 --> 36:10.863
you may choose only one.

36:17.423 --> 36:18.703
Then please, chop off her hand

36:18.743 --> 36:20.303
and feed it to the wolves for me.

36:41.943 --> 36:43.023
As for the Phoenix Seal and her,

36:43.503 --> 36:45.103
you may choose only one.

36:46.983 --> 36:48.303
Then please, chop off her hand

36:48.343 --> 36:49.983
and feed it to the wolves for me.

36:53.063 --> 36:54.703
The Preceptor never intended to take me away.

36:55.783 --> 36:57.423
Was she acting on his orders?

36:58.943 --> 36:59.743
No matter.

37:00.863 --> 37:02.623
I am no longer the Empress of Great Qi.

37:03.303 --> 37:05.063
Why should I care what he wants?

37:07.303 --> 37:08.863
If the Preceptor can at least tell Jueding

37:08.903 --> 37:09.863
that I'm safe,

37:10.783 --> 37:12.263
it will put his mind at ease.

37:13.503 --> 37:14.943
If I can use this opportunity

37:15.303 --> 37:17.023
to learn the Black Tiger Army's defenses...

37:20.503 --> 37:21.263
What are you thinking?

37:21.543 --> 37:22.343
Nothing.

37:23.183 --> 37:23.983
Are you sad?

37:25.063 --> 37:25.943
Of course.

37:27.023 --> 37:28.543
All the captives have left.

37:28.623 --> 37:29.903
I'm the only one left behind.

37:39.703 --> 37:41.263
General, you don't still think

37:41.303 --> 37:42.503
I'm the Empress of Great Qi, do you?

37:45.303 --> 37:46.223
To be honest,

37:47.503 --> 37:49.223
I still have a tiny bit of doubt.

37:50.783 --> 37:52.143
But right now,

37:52.143 --> 37:53.383
I see no reason

37:54.183 --> 37:55.623
to believe you are.

37:56.183 --> 37:58.263
Then what do you plan to do with me?

37:59.943 --> 38:00.703
I intend

38:01.143 --> 38:02.863
to treat you two

38:03.143 --> 38:04.223
as honored guests.

38:04.583 --> 38:05.903
When the war ends,

38:06.023 --> 38:07.943
I will see you both off myself.

38:09.183 --> 38:10.863
This is how you treat honored guests?

38:11.143 --> 38:12.783
You're practically putting me under house arrest.

38:13.983 --> 38:14.863
Inside the camp,

38:15.423 --> 38:16.783
you two are free to go wherever you like.

38:17.383 --> 38:19.463
But if either of you steps outside,

38:20.223 --> 38:21.863
don't blame me for being ruthless.

38:28.583 --> 38:29.183
All right.

38:29.983 --> 38:31.623
Since you're so "hospitable,"

38:32.303 --> 38:33.703
I suppose

38:34.343 --> 38:35.103
I'll stay.

38:36.703 --> 38:38.103
But there is one thing I don't understand.

38:38.503 --> 38:40.263
Now that you know I'm not the Empress,

38:40.503 --> 38:41.303
why

38:41.423 --> 38:42.863
haven't you killed me?

38:46.463 --> 38:47.783
I can't bear to.

38:53.503 --> 38:54.463
I just think

38:55.063 --> 38:56.503
that you are a woman of honor.

38:56.903 --> 38:58.463
You stole provisions to save the people.

38:58.943 --> 39:01.183
I admire that.

39:03.783 --> 39:04.543
Rest assured.

39:05.063 --> 39:06.183
Since I said

39:06.383 --> 39:07.983
I'd treat you as honored guests,

39:08.423 --> 39:09.743
I'll keep my word.

39:11.623 --> 39:12.223
Good.

39:26.823 --> 39:27.423
Your Highness.

39:27.823 --> 39:28.703
Mr. Bai,

39:28.823 --> 39:29.623
are you better now?

39:31.223 --> 39:32.823
Thank you for the cloak.

39:39.223 --> 39:40.023
Cangcang?

39:42.903 --> 39:44.743
She should have left with the delegation.

39:45.383 --> 39:46.623
Why is she still here?

39:53.223 --> 39:54.383
Yes, that's Cangcang.

39:54.463 --> 39:55.223
What's wrong?

39:56.863 --> 39:57.623
Nothing.

39:59.343 --> 39:59.863
Did

39:59.863 --> 40:01.623
the delegation from Great Qi come today?

40:01.623 --> 40:02.343
They did.

40:02.383 --> 40:03.143
And they've already left.

40:04.183 --> 40:05.623
Can you believe my brother?

40:05.983 --> 40:06.743
Earlier,

40:06.943 --> 40:09.343
he suspected that Lin Cangcang was the Empress

40:09.863 --> 40:11.263
and even had me follow the two of you.

40:11.503 --> 40:12.463
Only when the delegation

40:12.783 --> 40:14.183
confirmed her identity today

40:14.183 --> 40:15.263
did he finally relax.

40:16.023 --> 40:16.903
If you ask me,

40:17.303 --> 40:18.863
the whole thing is simple.

40:19.343 --> 40:21.223
If Cangcang were the Empress,

40:21.903 --> 40:23.143
wouldn't that

40:23.623 --> 40:25.103
make you the Emperor?

40:26.703 --> 40:27.383
Exactly.

40:33.103 --> 40:35.423
[Qi]

40:39.183 --> 40:39.783
General.

40:42.103 --> 40:42.903
Greetings,

40:43.023 --> 40:44.023
Preceptor Du.

40:48.423 --> 40:49.383
General Ling,

40:49.543 --> 40:50.623
no need to look around.

40:51.183 --> 40:52.023
Her Majesty

40:53.343 --> 40:54.503
is not with us.

40:54.503 --> 40:55.303
Why not?

40:57.223 --> 40:58.903
Kumor made me choose between the 300 captives

40:58.943 --> 41:00.543
and Her Majesty,

41:02.383 --> 41:05.103
but she would rather die than admit who she was.

41:06.463 --> 41:08.543
I had no choice but to respect her wishes,

41:09.303 --> 41:10.983
so I only retrieved the stolen Phoenix Seal

41:11.423 --> 41:13.223
and brought back the captives.

41:13.543 --> 41:14.703
Then what about my sister?

41:15.063 --> 41:16.703
Her Majesty put the greater good first.

41:17.303 --> 41:19.223
Heaven will watch over her.

41:23.303 --> 41:24.063
I will also

41:25.023 --> 41:26.863
pray for her safety day and night.

41:35.623 --> 41:36.423
Cangcang.

41:37.983 --> 41:38.743
Minjia?

41:39.863 --> 41:41.343
Why are you staying in your tent all the time?

41:41.383 --> 41:42.383
Why not go out for a walk?

41:43.543 --> 41:44.543
What's the point?

41:44.783 --> 41:45.903
I can't leave the camp anyway.

41:46.623 --> 41:47.423
What,

41:47.903 --> 41:49.143
do you know somewhere worth going?

41:49.783 --> 41:51.103
I wish.

41:51.543 --> 41:53.183
I still have to clean the stables this afternoon.

41:53.303 --> 41:54.383
Clean the stables?

41:55.503 --> 41:57.623
A princess like you cleans the stables yourself?

41:57.623 --> 41:58.463
Of course.

41:58.703 --> 41:59.743
As my brother says,

41:59.983 --> 42:01.343
there are no princesses in the camp,

42:01.383 --> 42:02.423
only soldiers.

42:03.023 --> 42:04.143
If I want to stay here,

42:04.223 --> 42:06.263
I have to work like everyone else.

42:07.143 --> 42:08.103
Anyway, enough about that.

42:08.623 --> 42:09.583
I snuck out

42:09.903 --> 42:11.223
to chat with you.

42:12.023 --> 42:12.823
About what?

42:14.063 --> 42:15.343
If it's about Bai Chifan,

42:15.823 --> 42:16.623
forget it.

42:17.903 --> 42:19.263
That's exactly what I want to talk about.

42:20.023 --> 42:22.503
Why did you break up with him?

42:23.063 --> 42:24.703
He clearly cares for you deeply.

42:28.383 --> 42:30.263
I used to think so too.

42:31.423 --> 42:32.383
Only later did I realize

42:33.983 --> 42:35.103
he had ulterior motives.

42:36.143 --> 42:37.743
Mr. Bai is not that kind of man.

42:38.023 --> 42:39.623
He risked his life to save you.

42:40.223 --> 42:41.023
Enough.

42:42.143 --> 42:43.223
I don't want to talk about him.

42:53.463 --> 42:54.423
I bet

42:54.583 --> 42:55.903
you still have feelings for him.

42:56.783 --> 42:58.063
If you truly didn't care,

42:58.223 --> 42:59.623
you wouldn't sound so bitter.

43:00.223 --> 43:02.223
You say you've moved on,

43:02.543 --> 43:04.783
but you still hold grudges.

43:05.623 --> 43:06.623
If you ask me,

43:07.143 --> 43:08.623
your anger

43:08.943 --> 43:09.863
comes from love.

43:16.943 --> 43:17.783
Really?

43:22.863 --> 43:24.063
I hit the mark, didn't I?
