00:01:29.300 --> 00:01:32.860
=Episode 28=

00:01:35.340 --> 00:01:38.940
(Previously on)

00:01:44.600 --> 00:01:46.280
His Majesty has arrived!

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:54.080
Zisheng, what are you doing?

00:01:56.800 --> 00:01:58.680
Your Majesty,
please represent my parents

00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:00.760
and ask Fourth Lady Cheng

00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:04.600
for her hands.

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:08.120
(My daughter)

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:09.840
(lacks discipline since young.)

00:02:10.760 --> 00:02:12.120
(She's a stubborn lady.)

00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.440
This marriage is excellent.

00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:16.880
It's just that Shaoshang

00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:19.200
isn't good enough.

00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:24.280
(Shaoshang may not)

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.120
(be the ideal lady in everyone's heart,)

00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:29.480
(but to me,)

00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:32.200
(she's pure, decisive,)

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:34.320
(and honest about her feelings.)

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:37.960
(She's someone who can stand by my side.)

00:02:39.880 --> 00:02:41.040
(She will be the only one I marry)

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:45.600
in this lifetime.

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.200
All of us are honest, subservient,

00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:49.440
and decent ladies.

00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:50.920
Unlike someone

00:02:50.920 --> 00:02:53.200
who tries to seduce everyone
like the temptress she is.

00:02:57.840 --> 00:02:58.600
Today,

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.200
I've finally seen the power
of influence in action.

00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:03.680
(Shaoshang,)

00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:07.160
(don't you like power?)

00:03:07.160 --> 00:03:08.360
(That's your power.)

00:03:10.160 --> 00:03:11.520
(I've been stubborn since young.)

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:12.880
(I do not yield to rules,)

00:03:12.880 --> 00:03:14.160
(let alone listening to you.)

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.480
(Do you still wish)

00:03:16.200 --> 00:03:17.280
(to marry a lady like me?)

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:18.160
Of course,

00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:19.840
Cheng Shaoshang, you're the best lady

00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:22.440
in the entire capital.

00:03:23.040 --> 00:03:24.080
You're the best lady

00:03:24.720 --> 00:03:25.640
in

00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:28.240
the entire world.

00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:50.600
Father, Mother,

00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:53.840
I've decided.

00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:56.400
I will marry him.

00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:34.160
Young Master.

00:04:58.360 --> 00:04:59.640
Young Master, leave him alive!

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:07.280
What's going on?

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.080
Young Master,

00:05:09.760 --> 00:05:11.680
I've already located the physician
we were looking for.

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:14.040
He once examined

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.440
the mounts of the soldiers

00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:17.960
who were sent to examine the miasma.

00:05:18.200 --> 00:05:20.120
If someone was killed by the miasma,

00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:21.880
his horse would suffer the same fate.

00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:24.320
Out of his suspicion,

00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:25.800
he made a secret investigation,

00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:27.640
and he discovered

00:05:28.640 --> 00:05:30.240
that all of the soldiers
actually died from sword wounds.

00:05:32.600 --> 00:05:33.680
He retired from his duties

00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:36.320
and hid his name out of fear.

00:05:36.760 --> 00:05:38.760
Young Master, I wanted to
bring him to you initially.

00:05:39.520 --> 00:05:40.360
However,

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:42.560
they still discovered him.

00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:47.200
Speak.

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:49.400
Who sent you here?

00:05:55.280 --> 00:05:56.920
Who exactly are you guys?

00:05:57.520 --> 00:05:58.320
Han Wu, watch out!

00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:09.640
Han Wu!

00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:11.760
Han Wu!

00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:45.880
Young Master,

00:06:46.320 --> 00:06:48.200
I've dealt with the assassins' bodies.

00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:50.960
However, we found no clues even after

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.040
examining their backgrounds.

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:54.120
Those assassins killed Han Wu
by using the military's way

00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:58.200
to rout an enemy.

00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:01.360
And these poison needles

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.520
are hollow and filled with poison.

00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:06.800
No ordinary blacksmiths can forge them.

00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:11.440
They should belong to the military.

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.160
It was actually the military?

00:07:13.880 --> 00:07:16.040
But there are many troops
who are stationed here.

00:07:16.200 --> 00:07:17.560
There are plenty of generals too.

00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:19.240
Where should we start our investigation?

00:07:19.640 --> 00:07:21.400
Han Wu had already found out the truth.

00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:23.640
Back then, none of the soldiers

00:07:23.640 --> 00:07:26.320
who were sent to investigate
the miasma survived.

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:28.200
However, their mounts

00:07:29.080 --> 00:07:30.600
returned to the military camp safely.

00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:32.920
If that's the case,

00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:34.440
why didn't Marquis Yue
report the abnormality?

00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:38.440
Not only did he not investigate
the true cause of their deaths,

00:07:39.640 --> 00:07:42.280
but he also relayed the news
to Lord Qian'an immediately,

00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:44.760
suggesting him to
slow down his reinforcements.

00:07:46.320 --> 00:07:47.080
And,

00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:51.400
it has been confirmed

00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:54.680
that the soldiers

00:07:57.320 --> 00:07:59.080
didn't die from the miasma.

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.200
Young Master, do you think Marquis Yue

00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:04.800
killed them on purpose?

00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.960
But all of them were his men.

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.320
In order to prove the existence of miasma,

00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.360
he deceived others

00:08:12.640 --> 00:08:13.920
and killed his men.

00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:17.680
He was the one who stalled
the reinforcements,

00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:20.720
causing Gu City to fall.

00:08:24.440 --> 00:08:25.560
Han Wu's death

00:08:26.840 --> 00:08:29.320
proves that he knows
someone is investigating the matter.

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:31.440
Next,

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:34.400
we cannot launch an open investigation.

00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:36.760
We can only do it in secret.

00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:40.880
We must be extra cautious.

00:08:45.880 --> 00:08:46.640
Young Master,

00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:48.920
His Majesty has sent Physician Sun here
to examine your wound.

00:08:48.920 --> 00:08:50.040
Shall we let him in?

00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:51.720
No.

00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:53.880
His Majesty said he would behead

00:08:53.880 --> 00:08:55.400
Physician Sun if
he didn't treat your wound.

00:08:55.400 --> 00:08:57.040
His Majesty has said the same thing
for many years.

00:08:57.480 --> 00:08:59.240
Has he ever beheaded someone before?

00:08:59.400 --> 00:09:00.280
I won't see him

00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:01.800
no matter what.

00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:22.240
Why are you awake already?

00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:24.960
Your Majesty, if you don't want to sleep,

00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.400
I won't interrupt you.

00:09:27.800 --> 00:09:29.200
I shall sleep in the side chamber.

00:09:30.880 --> 00:09:32.080
Come.

00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:34.240
Sit down.

00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:38.520
I was

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:40.440
just worried about Zisheng.

00:09:41.520 --> 00:09:42.360
You see,

00:09:42.760 --> 00:09:45.240
he didn't even tell me
when his leg was injured.

00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:47.800
I cannot sleep or eat well

00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.080
whenever I think about it.

00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.880
Zisheng never told anyone
about his wounds before.

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:56.440
Your Majesty, if you have trouble
sleeping because of that,

00:09:56.760 --> 00:09:58.440
I don't think you should sleep then.

00:09:58.440 --> 00:09:59.600
You should be immortalized instead.

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:02.520
This time, it's different.

00:10:03.880 --> 00:10:05.160
Not only did he keep it a secret,

00:10:05.920 --> 00:10:07.080
but he also deceived me.

00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.880
So, was the silly boy
finally enlightened?

00:10:12.800 --> 00:10:13.800
Tell me about it.

00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:15.920
Your Majesty, how did he deceive you?

00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:17.360
He said he was injured

00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.320
due to horse riding.

00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:21.760
Only a fool will believe him!

00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:23.880
Zisheng has never fallen off a horse

00:10:23.880 --> 00:10:26.320
since he was six.

00:10:27.040 --> 00:10:28.200
How could he be injured
from horse riding?

00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:32.400
I heard

00:10:32.760 --> 00:10:33.920
that he went to see Lady Cheng

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.800
before he got injured.

00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:38.800
Maybe

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.480
he deceived me because he was afraid

00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.080
that I would punish Lady Cheng.

00:10:46.520 --> 00:10:48.640
He did the same thing on Mount Tugao.

00:10:49.160 --> 00:10:50.560
When I was questioning Lady Cheng,

00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.080
he defended her

00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:54.680
all the way.

00:10:56.800 --> 00:10:57.760
Now

00:10:58.560 --> 00:11:00.440
that he has fallen for Lady Cheng,

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:02.200
he has forgotten about me.

00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:05.600
Your Majesty,

00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:07.960
everyone was a youngster once.

00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:09.720
Back then,

00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:11.200
didn't you treat me

00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:13.560
in the same manner?

00:11:14.280 --> 00:11:16.200
That's a different story.

00:11:17.400 --> 00:11:18.520
We were

00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:20.480
in love.

00:11:20.880 --> 00:11:21.960
But do you know something?

00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:23.760
That Lady Cheng

00:11:24.040 --> 00:11:25.880
is such a fool.

00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:27.120
Think about it.

00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:29.200
Zisheng got his leg injured.

00:11:29.400 --> 00:11:30.440
Don't you think

00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:31.960
she should pay him

00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:33.040
a visit?

00:11:33.160 --> 00:11:33.960
But she didn't do so.

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:35.520
But of course,

00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:37.280
I assume

00:11:37.640 --> 00:11:38.600
that Zisheng

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.920
is hiding it from her too.

00:11:44.280 --> 00:11:45.560
I still remember

00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.360
that Your Majesty tried everything
you could to get my attention

00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:49.960
even when

00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.920
you were bitten by a mosquito.

00:11:54.040 --> 00:11:55.520
If Lady Cheng doesn't know

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:57.440
about Zisheng's leg injury,

00:11:57.560 --> 00:12:00.320
doesn't that mean Zisheng
got injured for nothing?

00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:05.160
You're right.

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:07.640
You're right.

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.440
Since she doesn't know it,

00:12:13.040 --> 00:12:14.600
I will let her know.

00:12:15.640 --> 00:12:18.880
Tomorrow, I shall summon
Lady Cheng into the palace.

00:12:19.160 --> 00:12:20.520
I will summon Zisheng as well.

00:12:20.520 --> 00:12:21.880
I will make her

00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:24.080
feel sorry for Zisheng

00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:25.960
just like how I feel for him.

00:12:26.640 --> 00:12:27.480
Your Majesty,

00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:29.080
if so,

00:12:29.640 --> 00:12:31.840
can you feel for me right now?

00:12:38.640 --> 00:12:39.480
Sure.

00:12:51.040 --> 00:12:52.120
Greetings, Third Princess.

00:12:55.680 --> 00:12:57.920
Lady Cheng, we meet again.

00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.560
I heard that Zisheng had delivered
the dowries to your residence.

00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:02.760
You must've used this face

00:13:02.760 --> 00:13:04.240
to seduce him, huh?

00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:08.880
Third Princess,

00:13:09.560 --> 00:13:10.480
what do you mean by seducing him?

00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:12.920
When I say you seduced him,
that will be the truth.

00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.320
How dare you talk back to me?

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.600
Someone, slap her.

00:13:18.280 --> 00:13:18.960
Stop!

00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:38.200
Lady Luo, excuse me.

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:41.080
I need to speak with
Third Princess in private.

00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:43.360
Please take your leave.

00:13:57.680 --> 00:13:58.720
What did she say to you?

00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:17.600
I heard that she was devious
and cunning.

00:14:17.920 --> 00:14:19.640
You even got your leg injured
yesterday because of her.

00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:21.080
She's not good enough for you.

00:14:21.880 --> 00:14:22.800
Zisheng,

00:14:23.160 --> 00:14:24.920
actually, I've regretted it all this while.

00:14:25.280 --> 00:14:26.880
You were nice to me in the past.

00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:28.120
However, I didn't know
the meaning of a good husband

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.840
when I was young.

00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:32.200
Do you still remember the times

00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:34.720
when I suffered from palpitations
in the middle of the night?

00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:36.680
You were the one who knocked
on the palace door

00:14:36.680 --> 00:14:38.080
and asked His Majesty to summon
the physician for me.

00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:38.880
Yes, I did.

00:14:40.280 --> 00:14:42.440
So, are you insulting my wife-to-be

00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:44.400
in order to repay me?

00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:46.640
Third Princess, I hope you will stop

00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.600
insulting other people's families
and ancestral lineage.

00:14:49.560 --> 00:14:51.680
His Majesty raised me himself.

00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:54.040
He was busy with state affairs
day and night.

00:14:54.040 --> 00:14:55.240
However, his daughter

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.200
is accumulating wealth by unfair means.

00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.200
She has no regards
for her father at all.

00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:00.880
You should stop

00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:03.320
mentioning the past.

00:15:03.760 --> 00:15:04.880
Now,

00:15:05.640 --> 00:15:07.840
I hate you to the core.

00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:08.960
Stop right now.

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:11.640
I'm not that shameless.

00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:14.680
I just hope that
you won't regret it in the future.

00:15:14.680 --> 00:15:16.200
I'm 21 years old this year.

00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:17.920
Since young,

00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.440
His Majesty had rushed me

00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:21.480
to get married many times.

00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:23.920
However, I only thought about

00:15:24.800 --> 00:15:26.080
getting married

00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:28.520
after meeting Shaoshang some time ago.

00:15:32.520 --> 00:15:33.640
In this life,

00:15:34.640 --> 00:15:35.720
she will be

00:15:37.560 --> 00:15:39.160
the only one for me.

00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:30.800
General Ling,

00:16:31.040 --> 00:16:32.200
your leg is still injured.

00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:34.840
You'll exert your leg
if you walk this fast.

00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.960
You were cold to me yesterday.

00:16:44.480 --> 00:16:45.440
Why are you

00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:47.280
suddenly concerned about me today?

00:16:47.400 --> 00:16:48.440
Who said I was concerned?

00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.800
We're engaged.

00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:52.840
I'm just afraid that His Majesty
might be angry at me

00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:54.480
for not taking care of you.

00:16:55.920 --> 00:16:56.760
Listen.

00:16:58.280 --> 00:17:00.480
I know you hate me for restraining you

00:17:01.160 --> 00:17:02.400
and giving you pressure.

00:17:02.920 --> 00:17:04.040
But even so,

00:17:05.840 --> 00:17:07.280
it's impossible for me to let you go.

00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.400
You're just like a deity
that people pray to in a temple.

00:17:10.320 --> 00:17:11.920
You're feared and respected by everyone.

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:14.240
Now, the deity is going to marry me.

00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:16.320
And, I have to live together with him.

00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:18.880
Can't you just give me some time

00:17:19.520 --> 00:17:20.600
to think about it?

00:17:22.280 --> 00:17:23.680
This is what you're like.

00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.760
You're witty enough to
reject other people's advice

00:17:26.080 --> 00:17:27.360
and eloquent enough to make people
gloss over your mistake.

00:17:28.760 --> 00:17:30.080
I understand what you mean.

00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:32.600
Mother praised me in the same way too.

00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:33.600
Seems like

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:35.920
both of you are the same.

00:17:36.840 --> 00:17:38.600
You can take a dig at me all you want.

00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:40.240
But I won't take it to heart

00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:42.360
no matter what you do.

00:17:44.280 --> 00:17:44.960
Shaoshang,

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:46.800
I've decided that you're the one.

00:17:47.760 --> 00:17:49.240
You will be the only one for me
in the future.

00:17:49.840 --> 00:17:51.040
If you wish to cancel the marriage,

00:17:51.520 --> 00:17:53.080
you can request His Majesty to do so.

00:17:53.760 --> 00:17:54.760
I, Ling Buyi,

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:57.360
will never cancel the marriage.

00:17:57.880 --> 00:17:59.120
Even if His Majesty were
to punish me for it,

00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:00.800
I will never do it.

00:18:00.800 --> 00:18:01.960
Who said I was going to do it?

00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:07.720
I won't cancel the marriage.

00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:12.960
I've straightened out my thoughts.

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:17.320
I didn't know how to love someone

00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:20.120
because I wasn't loved when I was young.

00:18:22.360 --> 00:18:24.880
That's why I doubted your intention.

00:18:29.280 --> 00:18:30.560
But when I thought about the past,

00:18:31.320 --> 00:18:32.680
I thought you were truly nice to me.

00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:36.040
If I reject you again,

00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:38.920
I might be a little heartless.

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:46.640
How's your injury?

00:18:47.080 --> 00:18:48.640
Why were you so careless?

00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:53.080
You actually asked me

00:18:54.320 --> 00:18:55.920
if it hurt or not when I got injured

00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:57.360
in the hunting hut.

00:18:58.560 --> 00:19:00.960
Are you afraid of
His Majesty's questions

00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:03.200
more than me?

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:05.840
You're not as scary as His Majesty.

00:19:12.040 --> 00:19:12.920
Cheng Shaoshang,

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:16.120
I know.

00:19:17.360 --> 00:19:19.360
You always doubted that our relationship
would be unequal.

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:22.120
You were always worried
that I would oppress you.

00:19:23.320 --> 00:19:24.640
Today, I will tell you this.

00:19:27.360 --> 00:19:29.520
I, Ling Buyi, treat you as my wife.

00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:33.160
Everything I have

00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:36.040
shall belong to you.

00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:42.200
In the future,

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:45.720
I will do everything
I can to protect you.

00:19:46.840 --> 00:19:47.920
I will never

00:19:49.040 --> 00:19:50.120
oppress you.

00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:55.840
I will make you believe me.

00:19:57.760 --> 00:19:58.640
It depends on

00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:02.560
your performance in the future.

00:20:15.520 --> 00:20:16.320
In the future,

00:20:16.960 --> 00:20:18.040
you can eat

00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:19.480
whenever you feel like it.

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:41.200
Your formalities today

00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:43.080
are still acceptable.

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:44.600
Tell me now.

00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:45.760
How do you plan

00:20:46.120 --> 00:20:49.080
to become Zisheng's wife in the future?

00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:56.120
We have to get married first.

00:21:02.560 --> 00:21:03.360
Is that all?

00:21:12.800 --> 00:21:13.920
Your Majesty,

00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:16.280
I was a fool for not understanding
what you meant.

00:21:16.360 --> 00:21:18.960
Please pardon me for my ignorance.

00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:22.200
Let me ask you something.

00:21:22.600 --> 00:21:24.440
You lack in formalities,

00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:25.920
and you're not well-versed
in your studies.

00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:27.240
However, Zisheng

00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:28.960
is the pillar of the nation.

00:21:29.560 --> 00:21:32.160
I treat him like my own son.

00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:35.960
Do you think you're good enough for him?

00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:44.760
What are you doing here?

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:49.720
Physician Sun said

00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:51.480
your leg injury was getting worse.

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:52.800
What are you doing here

00:21:52.800 --> 00:21:53.800
instead of recuperating at home?

00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:54.560
Get up.

00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:55.480
Your Majesty,

00:21:56.080 --> 00:21:57.640
I'm here to see what kind of questions

00:21:57.840 --> 00:21:59.360
you will ask my future wife.

00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.280
All right. You shouldn't kneel
when you're injured.

00:22:04.360 --> 00:22:05.080
You should sit.

00:22:09.760 --> 00:22:10.680
You may sit too.

00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:12.200
Both of you can sit down, okay?

00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:14.320
Be careful.

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:15.960
Sit down.

00:22:25.340 --> 00:22:26.340
Your Majesty is wise.

00:22:26.940 --> 00:22:28.140
My parents

00:22:28.140 --> 00:22:29.660
left the capital to join the war

00:22:29.940 --> 00:22:31.620
when I was still an infant.

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:34.340
Only my aging grandmother

00:22:34.340 --> 00:22:36.420
and unscrupulous second aunt
were at home.

00:22:36.940 --> 00:22:37.860
All these years,

00:22:38.380 --> 00:22:39.940
I barely knew

00:22:41.540 --> 00:22:42.860
100 words.

00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:44.620
As for the books I've read,

00:22:48.260 --> 00:22:49.620
I've never read any books.

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:52.300
Even when Father and Mother are back,

00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:55.180
they think that I'm vulgar
beyond expectations.

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:57.060
That's why they taught me how to read.

00:22:57.620 --> 00:22:59.060
General Ling is a general.

00:22:59.580 --> 00:23:00.380
I assume

00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:03.460
General Ling doesn't like

00:23:03.460 --> 00:23:04.940
ladies who are highly educated.

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:08.380
I'm the only uneducated lady
in the entire capital.

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:11.380
That's why I'm a perfect match for him.

00:23:12.100 --> 00:23:13.340
Nonsense!

00:23:14.780 --> 00:23:17.140
Zisheng is highly intelligent.

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:19.180
How is he not good enough

00:23:19.260 --> 00:23:20.660
for the educated ladies?

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:23.580
Yes, Your Majesty is right.

00:23:23.580 --> 00:23:24.980
I thought of the same thing.

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:26.420
If I knew that General Ling

00:23:26.780 --> 00:23:29.620
would fall for me in the past,

00:23:29.620 --> 00:23:32.060
I would've studied hard.

00:23:32.420 --> 00:23:34.980
But now, it's too late.

00:23:37.780 --> 00:23:38.540
Your Majesty,

00:23:39.300 --> 00:23:40.660
although Shaoshang is still young,

00:23:41.100 --> 00:23:42.780
she has humility and self-awareness.

00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:43.980
She's neither humble nor arrogant.

00:23:44.460 --> 00:23:45.340
That's what

00:23:46.540 --> 00:23:47.780
I like about her.

00:23:53.700 --> 00:23:54.820
According to Confucius,

00:23:54.940 --> 00:23:57.260
it is wise to hold what you know
and admit

00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:58.420
what you don't.

00:23:58.660 --> 00:24:00.180
It's rare for someone as young as you

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:01.380
to understand the meaning of that.

00:24:02.340 --> 00:24:03.300
Do not speak.

00:24:03.660 --> 00:24:04.380
Lady Cheng,

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:06.900
since the marriage

00:24:07.300 --> 00:24:08.820
has already been arranged for,

00:24:09.300 --> 00:24:10.180
you should

00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:11.660
try to compensate

00:24:11.820 --> 00:24:13.780
for your lacking in the future

00:24:14.100 --> 00:24:17.060
instead of belittling yourself here.

00:24:17.540 --> 00:24:18.260
If you were

00:24:18.260 --> 00:24:20.260
as worthless as what you had said,

00:24:20.620 --> 00:24:23.060
what would happen to Zisheng?

00:24:24.020 --> 00:24:25.540
Now, Zisheng is establishing
his own family.

00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:28.580
People are paying attention
to everything he does.

00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:30.460
As his future wife,

00:24:30.460 --> 00:24:31.180
you have

00:24:31.420 --> 00:24:32.740
to be extra cautious

00:24:32.940 --> 00:24:34.980
when you take care of the family.

00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:36.740
If something goes wrong,

00:24:37.220 --> 00:24:39.460
Zisheng will be mocked.

00:24:41.620 --> 00:24:42.460
So,

00:24:42.780 --> 00:24:45.020
you should attend a training
in the empress's palace.

00:24:46.820 --> 00:24:48.940
You have to work harder.

00:24:49.300 --> 00:24:52.420
Don't try to reject it
by trying to be humble here.

00:24:55.660 --> 00:24:56.820
As for the details,

00:24:57.540 --> 00:25:00.060
you just need to follow
the empress's instructions.

00:25:01.740 --> 00:25:03.380
All right, it's decided then.

00:25:04.020 --> 00:25:05.900
You guys have
nothing else to say, right?

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:12.020
You may speak what's on your mind.

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:14.220
His Majesty is usually busy.

00:25:14.780 --> 00:25:15.980
It's rare that he has time for us today.

00:25:20.540 --> 00:25:21.300
Your Majesty,

00:25:21.660 --> 00:25:23.900
I wish to complain about someone.

00:25:24.540 --> 00:25:25.460
I wonder if I can do so?

00:25:32.300 --> 00:25:33.660
You're really bold indeed.

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:36.540
You're actually submitting a complaint

00:25:36.620 --> 00:25:37.940
when this is your third time seeing me?

00:25:38.460 --> 00:25:39.460
Do you know

00:25:39.780 --> 00:25:41.340
submitting a complaint to me
is a huge matter?

00:25:41.340 --> 00:25:43.460
You'll be punished severely
if you say the wrong thing.

00:25:43.900 --> 00:25:46.100
Your Majesty, I know nothing
about state affairs.

00:25:46.740 --> 00:25:49.140
However, I'm going to complain
about something trivial today.

00:25:49.260 --> 00:25:51.380
Although it's something trivial,

00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:53.180
all huge matters

00:25:53.380 --> 00:25:55.340
were caused by trivial reasons.

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:58.380
General Ling always said that
Your Majesty is magnanimous

00:25:59.060 --> 00:26:00.300
and that he treats
Your Majesty as his father.

00:26:01.140 --> 00:26:02.620
That's why I'm daring enough

00:26:02.860 --> 00:26:04.620
to treat Your Majesty
as one of my elders too.

00:26:06.020 --> 00:26:06.980
I don't know

00:26:07.460 --> 00:26:08.660
if it's appropriate to do so.

00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:10.860
If not, I shall keep quiet.

00:26:11.140 --> 00:26:11.940
Of course.

00:26:14.700 --> 00:26:15.540
Of course.

00:26:17.140 --> 00:26:17.980
Of course.

00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:21.860
Speak up.

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:24.900
Today, I'm going to complain about

00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:28.340
Wang Ling, the daughter
of Wang Chun, the Cavalry General.

00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:32.620
I want to complain about her

00:26:32.940 --> 00:26:34.060
for being rude

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:36.620
and slandering me during
the Lou Family's wedding banquet.

00:26:47.060 --> 00:26:48.500
Regarding the mintage,

00:26:49.100 --> 00:26:51.060
I'll mention it when
there's an opportunity.

00:26:51.700 --> 00:26:52.580
If so,

00:26:53.060 --> 00:26:54.820
has Official Peng completed

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:57.660
(Madam Wen Xiu)
the things he had promised me?

00:26:58.180 --> 00:26:59.540
(Envoy of Shouchun)
Madam Wen Xiu, do not worry.

00:27:00.340 --> 00:27:03.220
Young Master's estate is within
the borders of Shouchun.

00:27:03.980 --> 00:27:07.100
My master will definitely
take good care of him.

00:27:07.740 --> 00:27:11.580
However, acquiring the mintage
is a huge deal.

00:27:11.820 --> 00:27:14.940
Madam Wen Xiu, you must
choose your words carefully.

00:27:15.700 --> 00:27:16.780
If something goes wrong,

00:27:17.260 --> 00:27:20.100
we may be beheaded.

00:27:21.860 --> 00:27:23.540
It's just a mintage.

00:27:24.380 --> 00:27:26.980
Although the family of Lord Qian'an isn't
as glorious as before,

00:27:27.740 --> 00:27:29.820
Her Majesty is still indebted to us.

00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:34.460
Xuan was wandering around
when we took her in.

00:27:34.860 --> 00:27:36.020
If my father

00:27:36.260 --> 00:27:38.500
didn't send her to the current emperor,

00:27:38.780 --> 00:27:40.900
she would have no chance
to become the empress.

00:27:41.380 --> 00:27:42.380
Moreover, my father

00:27:42.580 --> 00:27:45.660
died on the battlefield
for the sake of the Wen Family.

00:27:47.380 --> 00:27:48.660
I still retain

00:27:49.780 --> 00:27:50.980
some influences over the city.

00:27:51.700 --> 00:27:53.140
That's great.

00:27:57.060 --> 00:27:59.220
This is a home letter

00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:01.700
Young Master told me to deliver to you.

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:10.260
Young Master knew

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:12.860
that this would be a difficult task
for you, Madam Wen Xiu.

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:15.260
However, Young Master led a rough life.

00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:17.740
It's been many years since
he had gotten new apparel,

00:28:18.140 --> 00:28:19.340
and he was out at the elbows.

00:28:20.020 --> 00:28:21.540
He had no choice but to
stop eating after noon

00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:24.420
and shut himself in the house to get by.

00:28:24.980 --> 00:28:26.700
Young Master has no choice

00:28:26.700 --> 00:28:29.260
but to bring up this ridiculous request.

00:28:29.820 --> 00:28:31.820
Now, the imperial court
belongs to the Wen Family.

00:28:32.180 --> 00:28:34.740
People with the surname Wen
are fortunate.

00:28:35.620 --> 00:28:38.340
Young Master didn't need to live on
in degradation in Shouchun

00:28:39.260 --> 00:28:42.540
if Old Master Qian'an
didn't pass away this soon.

00:28:45.500 --> 00:28:46.420
The world

00:28:47.660 --> 00:28:49.540
should've belonged to Qian'an
and the Wen Family.

00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:53.140
However,

00:28:53.660 --> 00:28:55.820
my brother and I
have to suffer all our lives.

00:28:59.660 --> 00:29:02.140
Mother, Father told me to find you.

00:29:04.260 --> 00:29:05.100
Mother?

00:29:08.460 --> 00:29:10.260
Mother, is there a guest in your room?

00:29:10.380 --> 00:29:12.140
Have you forgotten about my teachings?

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:13.860
You should've knocked before coming in.

00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:15.180
Leave right now!

00:29:15.980 --> 00:29:16.900
Wait!

00:29:35.340 --> 00:29:37.100
This must be the young lady
of the house.

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:57.380
You're a beautiful lady indeed.

00:30:03.460 --> 00:30:04.860
This is a meeting gift for you.

00:30:06.020 --> 00:30:07.020
Young Lady,

00:30:08.220 --> 00:30:09.540
please accept it.

00:30:24.420 --> 00:30:26.420
Young Lady, you've reached the age
to pin your hair, right?

00:30:28.060 --> 00:30:29.020
Speaking of which,

00:30:29.540 --> 00:30:32.700
it's been one year
since our madam passed away.

00:30:33.140 --> 00:30:34.380
Ling is still young.

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:36.460
My husband and I

00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:38.860
plan to keep her in the family
for a little longer.

00:30:39.540 --> 00:30:40.420
Besides,

00:30:41.020 --> 00:30:44.340
Official Peng is as old as my husband.

00:30:44.860 --> 00:30:46.580
Their age gap is too wide.

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:49.100
Age doesn't matter

00:30:49.980 --> 00:30:51.220
as long as he's considerate

00:30:51.540 --> 00:30:52.820
and knows how to dote on her.

00:30:57.220 --> 00:31:00.180
Official Peng hasn't recovered
from his asthma yet, right?

00:31:02.460 --> 00:31:03.660
He shouldn't be trying
to get a new bride

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:06.580
when he hasn't recovered
from his sickness.

00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:08.500
Madam Wen Xiu, don't forget

00:31:09.340 --> 00:31:12.740
why my master
was injured in the first place.

00:31:13.260 --> 00:31:16.140
He wouldn't have been crippled

00:31:16.260 --> 00:31:17.940
if he didn't carry
Lord Qian'an on his back

00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:19.820
and traversed through the miasma!

00:31:21.460 --> 00:31:23.820
He couldn't produce any offspring

00:31:24.660 --> 00:31:26.020
because of that.

00:31:27.380 --> 00:31:28.580
People

00:31:30.660 --> 00:31:32.260
may forget about his kindness,

00:31:37.020 --> 00:31:38.020
but Madam Wen Xiu,

00:31:39.020 --> 00:31:41.100
you should not.

00:31:44.620 --> 00:31:45.780
Naturally, I won't.

00:31:46.780 --> 00:31:47.940
I will help Official Peng

00:31:48.060 --> 00:31:50.340
to find a new bride in the capital.

00:31:51.820 --> 00:31:52.940
But he shall not marry Ling.

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:56.260
Young Master is stuck in Shouchun.

00:31:58.940 --> 00:32:01.060
He misses his family a lot.

00:32:02.540 --> 00:32:04.700
He might be relieved

00:32:04.940 --> 00:32:07.900
if he can see his niece for once.

00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:12.700
Although my master and Young Master

00:32:13.380 --> 00:32:15.140
are brothers of different surnames,

00:32:15.940 --> 00:32:16.820
there's still a gap

00:32:17.620 --> 00:32:19.060
between them.

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:22.820
If they can have a marriage alliance,

00:32:23.100 --> 00:32:25.700
they will become blood relatives.

00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:30.780
That way, Young Master won't be
able to command him around.

00:32:43.620 --> 00:32:44.900
What happened between you and Lady Wang

00:32:44.980 --> 00:32:46.540
was just a trifle.

00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:49.740
Why are you bringing it up
in front of His and Her Majesty?

00:32:50.260 --> 00:32:51.620
You're ruining their peace here.

00:32:58.740 --> 00:33:01.540
Since His and Her Majesty
treat Zisheng as their son,

00:33:02.020 --> 00:33:03.500
they're my elders.

00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:05.340
Naturally, I have to tell the elders

00:33:06.700 --> 00:33:08.220
about what happened in the family.

00:33:12.380 --> 00:33:13.460
Speak up.

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:21.620
That day,

00:33:21.780 --> 00:33:23.700
Lady Wang and the others

00:33:24.140 --> 00:33:25.460
insulted me in public

00:33:25.740 --> 00:33:26.780
and said that I was pretentious

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:29.500
and hypocritical.

00:33:30.060 --> 00:33:31.500
I thought it was something serious.

00:33:31.620 --> 00:33:34.140
So, they were just jealous of you.

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:36.100
Your Highness,
please let me ask you this.

00:33:36.420 --> 00:33:38.380
If I'm truly devious and pretentious,

00:33:38.380 --> 00:33:40.340
does that mean General Ling

00:33:40.740 --> 00:33:41.740
was bewitched by a foxy lady?

00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:44.380
Does that mean His Majesty
was wrong about our marriage then?

00:33:44.940 --> 00:33:46.260
If I don't tell His Majesty about this,

00:33:46.420 --> 00:33:48.500
doesn't that mean people will think

00:33:48.620 --> 00:33:50.940
that General Ling was bewitched
by a foxy lady?

00:33:52.780 --> 00:33:53.580
Your Majesty,

00:33:53.580 --> 00:33:56.180
I know it was a trifle between
me and Lady Wang.

00:33:56.500 --> 00:33:57.580
However, Your Majesty also knows

00:33:57.780 --> 00:34:00.540
that a silver tongue
is enough to ruin a nation.

00:34:00.980 --> 00:34:03.020
Your Majesty, your family affair
is the affair of the state.

00:34:03.180 --> 00:34:05.580
If your family is not harmonious,
I'm sure the nation will be the same.

00:34:06.380 --> 00:34:07.420
For the sake of my family and nation,

00:34:07.740 --> 00:34:09.140
I have to complain about her.

00:34:10.540 --> 00:34:11.580
Actually, I don't want

00:34:11.580 --> 00:34:13.660
to pick on Lady Wang for her mistake.

00:34:13.660 --> 00:34:14.860
However, Lady Wang

00:34:15.580 --> 00:34:18.020
is very stubborn about Zisheng.

00:34:19.020 --> 00:34:20.540
If I tolerate her this time,

00:34:20.540 --> 00:34:22.380
she will pester me again.

00:34:22.740 --> 00:34:24.180
If she commits a bigger mistake,

00:34:24.180 --> 00:34:25.700
it'll worsen the situation.

00:34:26.060 --> 00:34:27.340
I've improved the situation

00:34:27.420 --> 00:34:28.580
by complaining about her.

00:34:29.900 --> 00:34:31.140
Shaoshang is right.

00:34:31.860 --> 00:34:34.220
Ever since Zisheng and Shaoshang
were engaged,

00:34:34.580 --> 00:34:36.580
Ling had been displaying

00:34:36.580 --> 00:34:37.900
her rage in public.

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:39.420
She kept saying

00:34:39.540 --> 00:34:41.180
that Shaoshang wasn't
good enough for Zisheng.

00:34:41.940 --> 00:34:43.380
I've heard about them.

00:34:44.860 --> 00:34:45.940
Am I right?

00:34:47.580 --> 00:34:49.660
I did hear about them as well.

00:34:50.340 --> 00:34:52.900
Among the ladies who were
obsessed with Zisheng,

00:34:53.500 --> 00:34:54.380
Wang Ling

00:34:54.980 --> 00:34:56.340
was one of the most prominent ones.

00:35:00.660 --> 00:35:01.860
You guys are right.

00:35:02.620 --> 00:35:03.580
So, whose fault is this?

00:35:07.180 --> 00:35:08.100
However,

00:35:09.140 --> 00:35:10.100
we do need

00:35:10.500 --> 00:35:12.820
to teach Wang Ling a lesson

00:35:13.460 --> 00:35:14.420
so that

00:35:14.580 --> 00:35:16.340
she won't stir up trouble in the future.

00:35:18.380 --> 00:35:20.380
I will send Cao Cheng

00:35:20.980 --> 00:35:22.700
to the Cavalry General's Residence.

00:35:25.020 --> 00:35:25.860
Shaoshang,

00:35:27.220 --> 00:35:29.100
I've discussed this with His Majesty.

00:35:29.420 --> 00:35:31.020
Since you're getting married to Zisheng,

00:35:31.420 --> 00:35:34.140
you have to understand
the palace rules well.

00:35:34.540 --> 00:35:36.620
You should stay in Changqiu Palace

00:35:36.820 --> 00:35:38.540
for a certain period.

00:35:38.860 --> 00:35:40.820
I will take my time

00:35:40.820 --> 00:35:42.860
to teach you about the palace rules.

00:35:44.580 --> 00:35:45.420
But...

00:35:45.780 --> 00:35:46.820
But what?

00:35:48.540 --> 00:35:50.260
The empress is teaching you personally.

00:35:50.460 --> 00:35:51.820
Are you unhappy about that?

00:35:55.460 --> 00:35:56.220
Your Majesty,

00:35:56.620 --> 00:35:57.380
Empress Xuan,

00:35:57.660 --> 00:35:58.660
Marquis Quling and his wife

00:35:58.660 --> 00:36:00.740
never returned home for over a decade
due to the war.

00:36:00.940 --> 00:36:03.780
Shaoshang never got to spend
much time with them since young.

00:36:04.340 --> 00:36:05.740
After she gets married to me,

00:36:05.820 --> 00:36:07.380
she will have to move out
of the residence.

00:36:07.900 --> 00:36:09.540
Shaoshang cannot bear
to part with her family,

00:36:09.820 --> 00:36:12.700
and I cannot bear for her to suffer.

00:36:13.620 --> 00:36:14.540
I think

00:36:14.820 --> 00:36:17.100
we should let Shaoshang stay at home.

00:36:17.500 --> 00:36:18.180
I shall send her

00:36:18.340 --> 00:36:19.940
to Changqiu Palace every day

00:36:20.020 --> 00:36:21.380
for her studies.

00:36:25.060 --> 00:36:26.820
You'll send her here personally?

00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:30.480
If Zisheng doesn't mind it,

00:36:30.980 --> 00:36:31.820
I think

00:36:32.380 --> 00:36:34.420
it's viable.

00:36:35.420 --> 00:36:37.180
If so, we'll follow His Majesty's will.

00:36:37.740 --> 00:36:39.860
Zisheng, you are to send Shaoshang

00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:41.860
to Changqiu Palace early in the morning

00:36:42.060 --> 00:36:44.060
and bring her home in the evening.

00:36:44.420 --> 00:36:45.980
Rest one day every ten days.

00:36:46.260 --> 00:36:47.140
What do you think?

00:36:48.220 --> 00:36:49.100
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:36:59.780 --> 00:37:01.500
I won't get married to him!

00:37:02.820 --> 00:37:05.780
Shouchun is too far away
from the capital!

00:37:06.140 --> 00:37:07.660
And it's a barren land filled with
vulgar people!

00:37:07.900 --> 00:37:10.180
It's unfit for human habitation!

00:37:12.940 --> 00:37:14.420
Your uncle has been living there
for so long.

00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:16.220
Why can't you do the same?

00:37:16.480 --> 00:37:17.340
(Wang Chun)

00:37:17.340 --> 00:37:19.340
(Wang Chun)
Cheng Shaoshang is getting married to Ling Buyi

00:37:19.620 --> 00:37:21.740
while I have to be married
into that barren land?

00:37:21.740 --> 00:37:22.980
Why should I?

00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:26.060
She always despised me.

00:37:26.460 --> 00:37:27.820
If this does happen,

00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:30.740
I'm sure she'll mock me to no end!

00:37:33.580 --> 00:37:35.460
She's just the daughter of a general.

00:37:35.940 --> 00:37:37.660
Why do you have to mind her opinion?

00:37:39.220 --> 00:37:40.980
If you get married to Official Peng Kun,

00:37:41.420 --> 00:37:43.140
no one will dare to laugh at you.

00:37:44.180 --> 00:37:45.100
Official Peng

00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:47.540
is the benefactor
of the Qian'an Royalty.

00:37:47.780 --> 00:37:49.140
You have to get married to him
one way or another!

00:37:49.260 --> 00:37:50.500
I won't!

00:37:53.380 --> 00:37:55.420
Father!

00:37:55.780 --> 00:37:57.180
If I do marry myself into Shouchun,

00:37:57.180 --> 00:37:59.940
you won't be able to see me again!

00:38:00.220 --> 00:38:02.380
Father, can you bear to let this happen?

00:38:08.260 --> 00:38:09.100
My dear,

00:38:09.380 --> 00:38:11.020
she's our only daughter.

00:38:11.380 --> 00:38:12.460
How could you bear

00:38:12.460 --> 00:38:14.100
to let her be married to Peng Kun?

00:38:16.060 --> 00:38:17.060
The ancestral heritage

00:38:17.580 --> 00:38:20.100
of my tribe is in Shouchun.

00:38:20.540 --> 00:38:22.140
With my younger brother's capability,

00:38:22.260 --> 00:38:24.620
it's just a matter of time
before he can stage a comeback.

00:38:25.220 --> 00:38:26.180
By then,

00:38:26.660 --> 00:38:28.100
every lady in the world

00:38:28.500 --> 00:38:29.860
will be envious of our daughter

00:38:29.940 --> 00:38:31.100
for marrying herself into Shouchun.

00:38:31.380 --> 00:38:33.140
The capital is nothing!

00:38:33.740 --> 00:38:35.540
Uncle wouldn't have stayed in Shouchun

00:38:35.820 --> 00:38:37.260
and be suppressed by Peng Kun

00:38:37.380 --> 00:38:38.660
for so many years
if he was truly capable!

00:38:38.660 --> 00:38:39.580
Such audacity!

00:38:41.260 --> 00:38:42.500
The Qian'an Royalty

00:38:43.980 --> 00:38:46.700
is just down-and-out at the moment.

00:38:47.580 --> 00:38:48.420
Back then,

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:50.180
without our tribe,

00:38:50.540 --> 00:38:51.660
the current emperor

00:38:51.820 --> 00:38:53.740
wouldn't have received
a million soldiers

00:38:54.100 --> 00:38:55.620
and eradicated
the remnants of Emperor Li.

00:38:56.620 --> 00:38:57.780
Even the empress

00:38:58.180 --> 00:39:01.060
was only able to survive until now

00:39:01.060 --> 00:39:02.980
because we took her in.

00:39:03.580 --> 00:39:05.700
Our tribe had sacrificed everything
for the world.

00:39:06.020 --> 00:39:08.380
Your uncle is the only descendant left.

00:39:08.540 --> 00:39:11.060
The world is in the Wen Family's debt!

00:39:11.740 --> 00:39:12.900
The Wang Family

00:39:13.260 --> 00:39:14.620
has no right to reject this!

00:39:26.220 --> 00:39:27.100
Mother.

00:39:33.540 --> 00:39:34.660
However,

00:39:36.900 --> 00:39:38.860
we're your family here.

00:39:45.140 --> 00:39:46.180
If my tribe

00:39:47.220 --> 00:39:48.540
didn't become despondent

00:39:49.020 --> 00:39:51.340
after my father's passing,

00:39:55.540 --> 00:39:57.100
there was no way for me

00:39:58.060 --> 00:39:59.460
to become a family with you.

00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:05.700
Attendant Cao has arrived
with His Majesty's oral edict.

00:40:18.100 --> 00:40:19.060
Madam Wang,

00:40:19.420 --> 00:40:22.620
please kneel and receive
His Majesty's oral edict.

00:40:25.140 --> 00:40:27.140
As a descendant of
the Qian'an Royalty,

00:40:27.860 --> 00:40:29.780
how could I kneel in front
of a castrated man?

00:40:37.020 --> 00:40:37.900
Madam Wang,

00:40:38.340 --> 00:40:38.980
you...

00:40:39.340 --> 00:40:41.740
You're disrespecting His Majesty.

00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:46.180
Let go of me!

00:40:59.820 --> 00:41:01.420
His Majesty has spoken.

00:41:01.700 --> 00:41:03.540
Wang Ling, the daughter of
the Wang Family,

00:41:03.940 --> 00:41:08.020
acted arrogantly due to
her noble background.

00:41:08.540 --> 00:41:12.700
She insulted the marriage of the Lou Family
and slandered Lady Cheng.

00:41:12.940 --> 00:41:15.460
Wang Chun, the Cavalry General,

00:41:16.140 --> 00:41:17.980
has been negligent in disciplining her,

00:41:18.220 --> 00:41:22.420
causing her to be disrespectful and rude.

00:41:22.820 --> 00:41:24.460
On account of their relationship
to His Majesty,

00:41:24.820 --> 00:41:27.020
both father and daughter are
to reflect upon their own actions

00:41:27.260 --> 00:41:29.820
to serve as a warning to the public.

00:41:47.380 --> 00:41:48.180
Madam Wang,

00:41:49.140 --> 00:41:50.380
you should thank His Majesty's grace.

00:42:04.820 --> 00:42:06.340
My dear, what are you doing?

00:42:06.940 --> 00:42:09.380
You could've disciplined her
in private if she was in the wrong.

00:42:09.780 --> 00:42:11.460
Why did you hit her in public?

00:42:12.380 --> 00:42:13.460
What did I

00:42:13.740 --> 00:42:14.940
teach you usually?

00:42:15.420 --> 00:42:17.620
You have the blood of
the Qian'an Royalty!

00:42:18.660 --> 00:42:20.140
If anyone dares to bully you,

00:42:20.260 --> 00:42:21.580
you should've retaliated!

00:42:22.060 --> 00:42:22.980
You can be arrogant

00:42:22.980 --> 00:42:25.340
and domineering on your usual days.

00:42:25.620 --> 00:42:26.860
You can do whatever you like!

00:42:27.900 --> 00:42:29.780
But you mustn't disgrace me
like what you've done today!

00:42:34.340 --> 00:42:35.180
His Majesty

00:42:35.780 --> 00:42:37.820
actually put me on the spot

00:42:37.820 --> 00:42:39.020
because of a general's daughter?

00:42:40.380 --> 00:42:42.020
Xuan actually didn't
stop him from doing so?

00:42:43.940 --> 00:42:44.820
Back then,

00:42:45.260 --> 00:42:47.100
I would've become the empress

00:42:48.700 --> 00:42:50.260
if I didn't hail from the same lineage
as His Majesty.

00:42:50.460 --> 00:42:51.940
There was no way Xuan Shen'an
could become the empress!

00:42:53.940 --> 00:42:54.620
Let's go.

00:42:54.620 --> 00:42:56.540
I'll bring you to the palace
and reason with her.

00:42:56.540 --> 00:42:57.340
Bring me to the palace?

00:42:57.900 --> 00:43:00.260
But His Majesty had ordered me
to reflect upon my actions at home!

00:43:00.260 --> 00:43:01.540
You're defying the imperial edict!

00:43:01.940 --> 00:43:03.340
I'm not scared of the emperor!

00:43:03.340 --> 00:43:04.500
I'm scared!

00:43:04.940 --> 00:43:06.780
The Wang Family is scared.

00:43:14.580 --> 00:43:16.020
All of you are scared of him, huh?

00:43:17.580 --> 00:43:18.860
I will never yield to him!

00:43:55.350 --> 00:44:02.390
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:44:04.190 --> 00:44:11.390
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:44:12.950 --> 00:44:20.270
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:44:21.710 --> 00:44:28.870
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:44:29.830 --> 00:44:33.590
The light between your brows

00:44:34.190 --> 00:44:38.070
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:44:38.850 --> 00:44:46.190
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:44:48.190 --> 00:44:56.470
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:44:56.750 --> 00:45:05.190
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:45:05.790 --> 00:45:13.910
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:45:14.470 --> 00:45:18.150
Both of us will be

00:45:18.510 --> 00:45:29.370
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:45:31.710 --> 00:45:38.010
Our sincerity
