=Episode 49=
You shouldn't have come.
Who on earth are you?
Ling Buyi
or Huo Wushang?
Regardless of who I am,
my heart for you will never change.
Why must it be today?
Why do you still refuse to tell me?
Because I must avenge
the whole clan's massacre.
Shaoshang,
our wedding date has been set.
If I were to take revenge
only after our marriage,
it would surely implicate the Cheng's Family.
The buck stops here with me.
I won't let the Cheng's Family
be implicated because of me.
Ling Buyi
used the tiger seal without authorization,
disrupted the military defense,
and held the intention of treason.
These are unpardonable crimes.
Today,
if he dares take a step through this door,
kill him without mercy!
Yes, General!
Shaoshang,
I have no way out now.
I will pay
for my own wrongdoings.
We'll hereby bid each other farewell.
We won't be seeing each other again.
Young Master,
please stay alive.
Ling Buyi,
you deployed the army without authorization.
I'm here to bring you to justice!
If you dare take another step,
you'll be killed without mercy!
Ling Buyi, how dare you disobey the imperial edict!
If you dare take another step,
(Marquis Chengyang's Residence) thousands of arrows
will take your life.
Bring it on!
Kill!
General.
Good job.
You live up to your identity as my daughter.
Niaoniao, run quickly!
Run quickly!
General.
Why are you all still standing there? Chase after him!
Yes, General!
Chase after him!
Seize him!
Lady Cheng,
the traitor Ling Buyi
killed his father and deployed the army.
He has committed heinous
and unpardonable crimes!
If you refuse to surrender now,
then please don't blame me.
Don't be silly.
I need to walk this path alone.
You shouldn't have been
amongst my companions.
Fine.
Since you've never treated me as your companion,
then tell me.
Why did we
swear our alliance
by biting the arm
before your mother's memorial tablet then?
I've said
that you're not alone.
You don't have to be afraid.
I'll live and die with you.
I have no choice.
You shouldn't have come.
But I came eventually.
The entire Cheng Family came to save you.
You said you've never
truly felt loved since you were a child.
I've come to shower you with love.
You said you like the fireworks.
My family has presented it to you.
Why can't you
let go of your hatred still
and be considerate of me?
Shaoshang,
for you,
it may be just a 15-year-long national hatred.
For me,
I personally witnessed it.
It is a blood feud stuck in my heart for years.
Did you know that when I fall asleep at night,
I can hear the voices of grievances of the Gu city's souls
and see
parents and siblings
dying tragically before my eyes?
This is a heavy burden on me.
It's way too heavy.
I can't let go.
And I won't let it go.
Shaoshang,
I know I've let you down.
I'm really sorry.
But I'm a criminal now.
Only my death
will not bring you and your whole family
any harm.
Ling Buyi,
if you dare abandon me today,
I, Cheng Shaoshang, swear to Heaven
that I will never forgive you.
I will never forgive you
for eternity.
I never dared expect your forgiveness.
Cheng Shaoshang,
our fate
is over.
Listen up!
Draw your bow!
Obey my orders!
Kill him and Lady Cheng
without mercy!
Yes, General!
Shaoshang,
live on well.
I'm sorry.
Ling Buyi!
(Marquis Quling's Residence)
Young Lady, drink up.
What should we do now?
Why can't she swallow the medicine?
Pass it to me.
Lift her.
The lad Ling Buyi
is really despicable
for letting Niaoniao suffer like this.
If he hadn't jumped off the cliff,
I'd beat him up whenever I saw him.
First Madam,
the Third Prince burst in with his people
and requested Young Lady to be taken away immediately.
Aren't there many imperial bodyguards standing guard out there?
How did he manage to burst in then?
He said those who dared stop him would be killed.
He practically killed his way in.
What?
Where do they want to take Niaoniao to?
Third Prince.
Third Prince, please respect yourself.
Although the Cheng Family was detained on the spot
for attempting to save Ling Buyi,
you can't just walk right over us arbitrarily.
This is the chamber of a lady.
No outside men are allowed to go in.
First Madam,
sorry for the offense.
I must meet
Cheng Shaoshang today.
If she doesn't come out,
then I won't leave.
Third Prince, don't go too far.
It's you all who have gone too far.
Everyone knows how good Zisheng
treats Lady Cheng.
Today,
she must help Zisheng once more at any cost.
It was he who betrayed us first.
The Cheng Family has already done all we can for him.
To save him,
we were willing to be thrown into jail.
But look at how he treated Niaoniao.
It was he who gave Niaoniao up first.
With me, Xiao Yuanyi, around,
I'll see who dares to touch my daughter.
Zisheng.
Who on earth are you?
Ling Buyi
or Huo Wushang?
From now on,
if you don't abandon me,
I won't
do so to you too.
Do you have anything to say to me?
Ling Buyi,
why do you still refuse to tell me?
Ling Buyi!
If you want to enter my daughter's chamber,
you have to kill me first!
We don't know whether Zisheng is alive or dead.
And Cheng Shaoshang has only fallen ill.
Also, she's still alive.
Why can't she go and save him then?
Is he dead?
Niaoniao.
It's good to hear
that he's not dead.
Your Highness is imposing your authority at the Cheng's Residence.
There must be something else Your Highness wants to say.
He has committed heinous crimes.
He killed his father,
deployed the army,
and used the tiger seal without authorization.
He has shaken the royal court.
This morning,
eighteen high-ranking officials have joined forces to impeach him
and intend to put him to death.
This is the path he has chosen.
What can I do?
What does Your Highness think
will become of him?
Be a fugitive?
Or conceal his identity?
Aren't all lands in the world belong to His Majesty?
Where can he escape to?
Or
looking forward to the death of His Majesty?
And only show up when Your Highness
has attained great achievements?
Surviving in hiding and lying low?
I guess
he'd rather die.
If he dies,
I'll put all the blames on you.
If he dies,
I'll accompany him.
What's there to be afraid of?
Third Prince, say no more.
Even if you didn't come over today,
I'd go to the palace myself.
Niaoniao,
you've not recovered.
You must not go.
Yes, it's not worth doing it for that lad.
Why the concern for his life?
Mother,
Father,
there are imperial physicians in the palace.
Don't you worry.
Besides,
Third Prince is waiting for my rebuttal.
He won't let anything happen to me.
When did Your Highness and Zisheng
become good friends?
I ran into someone
at the Yanhui Tower that day.
Was it you and Zisheng?
Yes.
Zisheng and I
weren't in a disagreement as outsiders thought we were.
When Zisheng first got to the palace,
he was tricked.
I was passing by and rescued him.
Wasn't it the Crown Prince?
I still remember when Zisheng first got to the palace,
he was withdrawn and asocial.
Actually, I was like him too.
I've been withdrawn and asocial
since I was a child.
At that moment,
he was hiding in a quiet spot.
When I found him,
I pulled him up.
So both of you
hooked up in childhood?
What the crap are you talking about?
Her Majesty and my mother
have been minding their own businesses.
To avoid suspicion, I seldom interact with him.
It was my uncle
who persuaded Zisheng to help me out at the Yanhui Tower.
But he didn't agree to it.
How did you know
that it was us
at the Yanhui Tower?
He ate almond cake that day
and was down with a fever.
He was in a confused state.
When I took care of him,
I found the other half of the jade pendant
I'd lost at the Yanhui Tower.
I heard two voices
at the Yanhui Tower.
I thought there were only two people there.
But it turned out to be three people there.
And the third person
was Zisheng.
You guessed it right.
Zisheng didn't mean to hurt you.
He kept it from you
to keep you safe.
You all have been plotting it all along.
He took the Crown Prince's lost tiger seal
and deployed the army.
I reckon
the Crown Prince will have a hard time keeping his position safe now.
Should I congratulate Your Highness
for having your wish come true soon?
Zisheng
didn't mean to implicate you.
But that's what he did in the end.
That's how he is.
He's upright
but dismal.
He's brave
and thoughtful.
He'll go all out to save
and abandon me.
Are you certain that you can defend Zisheng?
I've said
that if he dies,
I'll die with him.
In the face of danger, you appear
logical and clear-minded,
like an outsider.
Do you know what it means by living and dying together?
And why concern can mess up one's mind?
I can brew wine.
My wines
are the strongest and purest in the capital.
I can build a water wheel.
My water wheels
are even finer and simpler
than the craftsmen's.
Yet it can cut manpower and animal resources by 30 percent.
I can build kilns and fire tiles.
My tiles
are as strong and durable as those used in the palace.
Yet it can cut the manpower and material resources by half.
Whether Ling Buyi is around or not,
I'm a lady who lives well.
I have my parents and workers to take care of.
But you shouldn't question me harshly
just because I'm a lady.
Your fiance is going to die.
Why didn't you die with him?
I shouldn't be kept in the dark
just because I'm a lady.
I don't even know
what my fiance's name is.
Two days before my wedding,
I managed to guess it right.
I was hoping he'd tell me instead.
But now,
I can't resent
and hate him
because doing so
is an act of indifference and selfishness.
You said he treated me whole-heartedly.
I'm willing to cut my body apart
and show him my heart
to see for himself whether I've treated him whole-heartedly or not.
He saved my life,
and I'll repay him with my life.
If I can't save him today,
I'll take my own life.
I'm not afraid of death.
If one day
I feel like dying,
that's because I'm tired of living.
It's definitely not because
I want to die with my only love.
Ling Buyi is the person I love most
in this world.
But
I am nobody but myself.
Your Majesty,
even if that lad has committed heinous crimes,
considering Huo's entire clan,
I beg Your Majesty to grant him a pardon.
If it weren't for Ling Yi's heinous deeds,
he wouldn't have taken that move.
I beg Your Majesty to show mercy.
Show him mercy, Your Majesty.
Anger and contempt are one thing.
Murder and arson are another matter.
Even if Madam Huo felt aggrieved,
he shouldn't have killed his father
to avenge his mother.
This is totally unforgivable.
We haven't even gotten to the bottom of the matter.
Official Zuo,
you've already concluded that General Ling
has killed for Madam Huo's grievances?
Could it be
that Official Zuo already knows the whole story?
Official Yuan,
what do you mean?
As a court official at the Ministry of Justice,
are you looking
for a reason for the murderer to escape his punishments?
Official Ji,
you're the Ministry of Justice.
Are you going to look into
Official Yuan's partiality?
Official Zuo,
Ling Buyi has committed
the crimes of killing his father, deploying the army,
and deceiving the Eastern Palace.
We, the Ministry of Justice, will investigate each of these crimes.
If all of these are true,
he won't be able to escape
the law.
Are you all done yet?
Zisheng was raised in the Changqiu Palace
and nurtured personally by Your Majesty.
Who didn't
know
that his future is bright and boundless?
Had he gone crazy or been stupid
that he killed his father for no reason
so you all
could denounce him now?
It's the truth that Ling Buyi killed his father.
Is this still excusable?
Ling Buyi didn't kill his father.
Official Zuo, you're righteous
but you've made a mistake in your first sentence.
Miss Cheng,
Ling Buyi is your fiance.
Did you come here today to intercede for him?
What can't Ling Buyi do?
He had even fought against the Censorate
for you back then.
Official Zuo, you're afraid
that no one knows you're taking revenge.
That's why you keep reminding us
about the fight.
You...
Your Majesty,
Miss Cheng was at the scene
with Ling Buyi.
I beg Your Majesty to take her into custody for questioning.
What did you say?
Why did you say
that Zisheng did not kill his father?
Your Majesty,
Ling Yi isn't Zisheng's biological father.
Zisheng's biological father
is General Huo Chong.
What?
What did you say?
You...
Please repeat yourself.
Zisheng is General Huo Chong's orphan,
Huo Wushang.
Cheng Shaoshang,
are you aware of what you're saying here?
You may be Ling Buyi's fiancee,
but you shouldn't say something so absurd
just to have him exonerated.
How could Ling Yi not know
whether Ling Buyi is his son or not, right?
How could Huo Junhua not know, right?
Your Majesty,
Zisheng
couldn't take care of Madam Huo all these years.
Did Your Majesty know the reason?
Then, does Your Majesty think
that Zisheng looks like
Marquis Chengyang?
Zisheng indeed doesn't look like Marquis Chengyang.
He looks more like General Huo.
Your Majesty.
Get off.
Carry on.
Go on.
General Huo's son, Huo Wushang,
is allergic to almonds.
But Ling Yi's son, Ling Buyi,
loves almond cake the most.
That day,
Madam Huo had prepared some almond cakes.
Come on.
Zisheng couldn't refuse, so he ate it.
That night, he had a high fever and rashes all over his body.
From that day on,
I suspected something.
It wasn't until Marquis Chengyang's birthday banquet
that he personally revealed to me
he was the late Marquis Huo's son,
Huo Wushang.
Your Majesty,
it was Ling Yi who led to the destruction of Gu city.
He was the culprit behind General Huo's tragic death.
All Zisheng did
was avenge his father.
Then, Junhua...
She...
Marquis Cui, do you remember
what Madam Huo said on her deathbed?
Never forget
our revenge.
Li,
I'm coming for you.
Do you think you can convict Marquis Chengyang for the crime
with your words alone?
Where's your evidence?
Since Official Zuo asks for evidence,
why don't
we quickly rescue Ling Buyi from the bottom of the cliff?
What is true and what is not
will be known during the interrogation.
If you rescue him,
then what he says will be the truth.
I now know Zisheng's difficulties.
He not only has no evidence that Marquis Chengyang conspired with the enemy
but also can't prove
his real identity now.
Marquis Chengyang is dead.
And a dead man tells no tales.
If Marquis Chengyang were alive,
he would assert
that he was Zisheng's biological father.
Zisheng wouldn't be able to refute it.
Your Majesty,
Zisheng was really desperate
that he made such a decision.
The evidence says it all.
What you said
sounded as if we were being unreasonable here.
You're indeed being unreasonable.
Official Zuo, you're constantly on the offensive
and attempt to put all the charges on Zisheng.
Are you doing this to vent your anger or for justice?
You know it better.
That's a pack of lies!
Silence!
Official Zuo,
are you an Imperial Counsellor or a blabbermouth?
His Majesty is still in the hall.
Yet you keep babbling here.
Are you trying to disrespect His Majesty?
Are you all done yet?
Whether he's Li or Zheng,
I
have my way to prove it.
I had seen Zheng
when he was a child.
He has
a special birthmark on his body.
It's a small tiger head,
but with three ears.
It's located half an inch below Zisheng's waist.
I saw it
when I wiped Zisheng's body
during his high fever.
That's right.
It's a tiger head with three ears.
Hurry up.
Send someone
to lift that lad from the bottom of the cliff.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Take a few imperial physicians along.
And some rations too.
The lad hasn't eaten and drunk anything for two days.
Yes, Your Majesty.
When he returns,
I will
take him to his father's grave
and beat him up.
He has been so obsessed.
Why couldn't he talk it out clearly?
Why must he choose to take such a risk?
Your Majesty,
Ling Buyi is still carrying
the Crown Prince's tiger seal
and the crime of deploying the army without authorization.
Will you
be satisfied
only when I atone
for Zheng's crime?
(Kill him and Lady Cheng)
(without mercy!)
(Yes, General!)
Your Highness.
What's the matter?
Let's talk after I've brought Zisheng back.
Beware that someone might want
to harm Zisheng during the rescue.
When General Zuo hunted Zisheng down that day,
he didn't plan to persuade Zisheng to surrender.
He drove Zisheng to the cliff
and ordered the release of arrows.
Otherwise,
Zisheng wouldn't have jumped off the cliff.
I get it.
If they're disloyal,
I won't let them go.
Thank you so much
for today.
When Zisheng returns,
I'll make him bow and apologize to you.
Don't worry.
Zisheng loves you so much.
He'll surely obey you from then on.
Shaosheng.
