=Episode 40=

00:01:36.140 --> 00:01:38.220
She went there with my cloak.

00:01:39.330 --> 00:01:41.700
Liang Shang couldn't
recognise Youtong that day

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:44.780
and chased her out
like he was chasing me.

00:01:45.020 --> 00:01:46.860
When the servant was moving books,

00:01:47.300 --> 00:01:48.530
he discovered Liang Shang

00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:50.500
lying on the bookcase

00:01:50.810 --> 00:01:52.530
with a knife stabbed into his body.

00:01:54.380 --> 00:01:55.140
Madam.

00:01:55.580 --> 00:01:57.490
I really didn't kill him.

00:01:58.100 --> 00:01:59.050
Don't worry.

00:01:59.650 --> 00:02:02.100
With General Ling and Yuan Shen here,

00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:03.730
they will definitely crack the case

00:02:03.930 --> 00:02:05.140
and prove your innocence.

00:02:06.890 --> 00:02:08.050
Pin her down!

00:02:08.820 --> 00:02:10.260
Now that he's dead,

00:02:10.260 --> 00:02:12.330
you can say anything you want.

00:02:12.330 --> 00:02:13.380
Liang Xia

00:02:13.610 --> 00:02:15.300
questioned the guards

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:17.050
and you were the only one
who came and left the place.

00:02:17.300 --> 00:02:18.170
Do you think

00:02:18.170 --> 00:02:21.020
Youtong was the one who killed my son?

00:02:21.650 --> 00:02:22.610
Dishonest woman

00:02:22.820 --> 00:02:26.380
who committed adultery
with the Crown Prince.

00:02:26.380 --> 00:02:27.490
Who would believe you?

00:02:27.730 --> 00:02:30.300
Who was the one who killed him
if it weren't you?

00:02:30.420 --> 00:02:31.380
Madam Yuan.

00:02:31.730 --> 00:02:32.730
There are still many mysteries.

00:02:32.730 --> 00:02:34.300
Please let me investigate it.

00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:38.260
Investigate the case?

00:02:39.170 --> 00:02:40.890
Look what you are doing.

00:02:41.170 --> 00:02:43.860
Even if His Majesty
asks you to help the empire,

00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:45.020
I'm sure you will agree to it.

00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:47.330
Why are you looking at me?

00:02:47.330 --> 00:02:48.210
Am I wrong?

00:02:50.100 --> 00:02:51.170
Seriously.

00:02:51.330 --> 00:02:52.650
There is not a single lady

00:02:52.980 --> 00:02:54.820
who is as presumptuous and a show-off

00:02:54.820 --> 00:02:56.210
as you in the capital.

00:02:56.650 --> 00:02:58.300
You have no skills

00:02:58.580 --> 00:03:00.330
yet you're investigating a case?

00:03:06.170 --> 00:03:07.420
Are you really going?

00:03:10.170 --> 00:03:10.890
Mother.

00:03:10.890 --> 00:03:12.770
Shanjian and Lady Cheng
will be going to investigate the case.

00:03:12.930 --> 00:03:14.020
We are leaving.

00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:17.050
Cheng Shaoshang!

00:03:37.490 --> 00:03:39.020
Aren't you here to investigate the case?

00:03:40.050 --> 00:03:41.300
Why are you staring at me?

00:03:45.170 --> 00:03:47.490
You are different from your mother.

00:03:49.260 --> 00:03:50.300
You usually dressed

00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:51.980
like the son of a noble family

00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:54.890
but your mother is plainly dressed.

00:03:55.140 --> 00:03:56.490
She is serious

00:03:57.140 --> 00:03:59.020
yet you are mean.

00:04:00.980 --> 00:04:01.930
A family

00:04:02.140 --> 00:04:03.580
has to complement
each other's weaknesses.

00:04:03.770 --> 00:04:06.020
My mother doesn't like to laugh or talk.

00:04:06.210 --> 00:04:07.380
If I were the same,

00:04:07.380 --> 00:04:08.890
my house would be more boring

00:04:08.890 --> 00:04:10.060
and harder for me to stay there.

00:04:13.580 --> 00:04:14.940
You are right.

00:04:15.210 --> 00:04:16.890
It's the same for me and my mother.

00:04:17.850 --> 00:04:18.970
We cover each other's weaknesses

00:04:19.940 --> 00:04:20.940
and are both different.

00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:24.620
Stay away.

00:04:25.650 --> 00:04:26.970
A lady investigating a case.

00:04:27.290 --> 00:04:28.330
Don't you think it's horrible?

00:04:28.330 --> 00:04:30.290
I came to investigate

00:04:30.290 --> 00:04:31.620
because I think there's something fishy.

00:04:31.940 --> 00:04:33.330
Zisheng didn't allow me
to come at first.

00:04:33.530 --> 00:04:34.890
Why are you still here then?

00:04:35.090 --> 00:04:37.140
Just wait at home
until he closes the case.

00:04:37.380 --> 00:04:39.450
This case is related to
the reputation of Qu Lingjun.

00:04:39.620 --> 00:04:41.580
It is also related to Her Majesty
and Crown Prince's reputation.

00:04:41.820 --> 00:04:43.850
Why should I wait at home?

00:04:44.500 --> 00:04:46.890
I'm not the kind of woman
who obeys my husband.

00:04:50.140 --> 00:04:51.620
Actually, Ling Buyi is right.

00:04:51.970 --> 00:04:53.330
This case involves the Crown Prince.

00:04:53.330 --> 00:04:54.450
Many people might be involved.

00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:57.090
You might find out too much if you
go too deep into the investigation

00:04:57.290 --> 00:04:59.450
but if you investigate too less,
you might end up with nothing.

00:05:02.700 --> 00:05:04.140
You shouldn't have gotten involved.

00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:06.740
(That's weird.)

00:05:07.060 --> 00:05:09.290
(If there's no the third person in this house,)

00:05:09.450 --> 00:05:11.890
(how did the murderer
kill Liang Shang from inside?)

00:05:14.090 --> 00:05:15.650
Your temper is getting better recently.

00:05:15.940 --> 00:05:16.940
In the past,

00:05:17.330 --> 00:05:19.090
you would've argued with me
after three sentences.

00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:25.260
I think so too.

00:05:26.140 --> 00:05:28.060
Perhaps it's because I have Zisheng.

00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:30.450
He treats me very well

00:05:30.700 --> 00:05:31.740
and loves me.

00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:33.770
Naturally, I won't

00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:36.180
have anything else
to argue with other people.

00:05:37.850 --> 00:05:39.060
I never thought

00:05:39.330 --> 00:05:41.330
I would marry a man
with his personality.

00:05:42.700 --> 00:05:44.260
But when I think about it,

00:05:45.260 --> 00:05:46.650
I might have some regrets in my life

00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:49.890
if I didn't meet him.

00:06:01.530 --> 00:06:03.180
Why am I saying this to you?

00:06:03.820 --> 00:06:05.290
You should go for an arranged date soon

00:06:05.620 --> 00:06:06.700
and find yourself a fiancee.

00:06:11.620 --> 00:06:12.850
Why should I

00:06:13.140 --> 00:06:15.260
go for an arranged date
and find a fiancee soon?

00:06:15.260 --> 00:06:17.740
You're in love with Ling Buyi,
it has nothing to do with me.

00:06:17.940 --> 00:06:19.090
Why did you get me involved?

00:06:19.090 --> 00:06:20.970
It's because you have no one you love

00:06:20.970 --> 00:06:23.330
so you feel annoyed deep down
when you see a loving couple

00:06:23.330 --> 00:06:24.380
like us.

00:06:24.850 --> 00:06:25.770
However,

00:06:26.820 --> 00:06:28.450
I know you envy Zisheng

00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:31.410
for marrying an excellent lady like me.

00:06:32.020 --> 00:06:33.090
But let me tell you.

00:06:33.210 --> 00:06:35.180
You can lower your standards.

00:06:35.290 --> 00:06:37.180
After all, an excellent lady like me

00:06:38.380 --> 00:06:39.380
is hard to find.

00:06:41.330 --> 00:06:42.380
You think

00:06:43.020 --> 00:06:43.890
I envy Ling Buyi?

00:06:43.890 --> 00:06:45.380
Of course, you do.

00:06:46.020 --> 00:06:48.330
Otherwise, why would you
make noises when you see him

00:06:48.330 --> 00:06:49.890
like you have an itchy throat?

00:06:50.020 --> 00:06:50.410
I was...

00:06:50.410 --> 00:06:51.410
What?

00:06:52.020 --> 00:06:53.020
Something in your throat?

00:06:57.210 --> 00:06:58.090
It was because

00:06:58.820 --> 00:07:01.090
I saw you being intimate all the time

00:07:01.650 --> 00:07:02.580
and I felt disgusted.

00:07:05.180 --> 00:07:06.180
Disgusted?

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:08.820
Get out if you feel disgusted.

00:07:08.820 --> 00:07:09.290
Fine.

00:07:09.290 --> 00:07:10.020
Get out.

00:07:10.020 --> 00:07:11.450
Do it yourself.

00:07:12.650 --> 00:07:14.090
Sour grapes.

00:07:32.090 --> 00:07:33.180
If you're tired,

00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:34.450
why not come out and take a break?

00:07:35.020 --> 00:07:36.620
This place is as big as a palm.

00:07:43.450 --> 00:07:44.940
As big as a palm?

00:07:47.140 --> 00:07:49.890
One, two, three, four...

00:07:49.890 --> 00:07:50.740
Careful.

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:55.060
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

00:07:55.330 --> 00:07:57.650
11, 12, 13,

00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:00.020
14, 15, 16...

00:08:00.020 --> 00:08:01.500
What are you doing now?

00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:03.890
18. 19, 20,

00:08:04.020 --> 00:08:07.140
21, 22, 23, 24,

00:08:07.140 --> 00:08:09.020
25, 26.

00:08:26.050 --> 00:08:29.570
One, two, three, four,

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:36.140
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

00:08:36.620 --> 00:08:39.740
11, 12, 13,

00:08:39.740 --> 00:08:42.620
14, 15, 16,

00:08:42.930 --> 00:08:46.650
17, 18, 19,

00:08:47.500 --> 00:08:48.690
20.

00:08:52.930 --> 00:08:53.860
That's not right.

00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:55.810
Why is it 26 steps
from the outside

00:08:56.100 --> 00:08:57.570
but only 20 steps inside?

00:08:57.770 --> 00:08:59.290
Where are the remaining six steps?

00:09:45.770 --> 00:09:46.860
I, Liang Wuji,

00:09:47.620 --> 00:09:49.500
am just an adopted son
of the Liang Family.

00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:52.500
When Liang Shang died,

00:09:52.650 --> 00:09:55.020
I took over
as the temporary house master.

00:09:55.020 --> 00:09:57.530
Liang Shang and Liang Xia
have the same mother.

00:09:57.740 --> 00:09:59.500
They have Grand Duke Liang's lineage.

00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:01.500
When Liang Shang was buried,

00:10:02.140 --> 00:10:03.860
I handed over
the position of house master

00:10:04.220 --> 00:10:06.050
to my third brother, Liang Xia.

00:10:13.410 --> 00:10:15.260
Was the relationship

00:10:15.860 --> 00:10:17.460
between Liang Xia and Liang Shang good?

00:10:18.020 --> 00:10:19.100
He...

00:10:27.020 --> 00:10:27.930
Where is Liang Xia?

00:10:29.530 --> 00:10:30.380
Quiet.

00:10:33.570 --> 00:10:34.770
Third Young Master Liang?

00:10:41.140 --> 00:10:42.770
Are you the murderer?

00:10:42.770 --> 00:10:43.740
Nonsense.

00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:44.620
I didn't kill him.

00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:45.930
Why are you hiding here then?

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:47.980
You are even pointing a knife at me.

00:10:48.810 --> 00:10:49.980
I haven't asked you.

00:10:50.380 --> 00:10:51.930
Why did you come here to your death?

00:10:52.770 --> 00:10:54.530
Third Young Master Liang,
do you think you will be safe

00:10:54.690 --> 00:10:56.140
by killing me?

00:10:56.570 --> 00:10:58.530
If I go missing in the Liang residence
for no reason,

00:10:58.810 --> 00:11:00.460
you won't be safe.

00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:02.860
This secret room is hidden.

00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:03.930
I'm the only one who knows about it.

00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:05.500
You came in

00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:07.340
because you got lucky.

00:11:07.410 --> 00:11:08.860
They might not find this room.

00:11:09.290 --> 00:11:10.690
I can kill you

00:11:10.890 --> 00:11:12.170
and wait for them to leave,

00:11:12.380 --> 00:11:13.770
then I'll find out a method to escape.

00:11:13.930 --> 00:11:15.140
Who will find out

00:11:15.810 --> 00:11:17.170
that I am the real murderer?

00:11:17.170 --> 00:11:18.500
If I can guess it,

00:11:19.140 --> 00:11:20.460
do you think they can't?

00:11:21.890 --> 00:11:24.500
You stabbed Liang Shang
when he was angry

00:11:24.770 --> 00:11:26.410
and pinned the crime on Qu Lingjun.

00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:28.290
After that, you hid in this hidden room

00:11:28.460 --> 00:11:29.860
and took off your bloodied robe

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:31.220
to change into a servant's clothes

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:32.570
before sneaking out among the chaos.

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:34.020
You are hiding here

00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:36.020
because you were scared
by Ling Buyi just now

00:11:36.170 --> 00:11:37.930
and came to destroy the evidence.

00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:39.340
Right?

00:11:44.770 --> 00:11:45.690
Shut up!

00:11:45.980 --> 00:11:48.100
I will kill you if you say another word!

00:11:49.050 --> 00:11:50.500
You had a bright future ahead.

00:11:50.810 --> 00:11:52.290
Why did you take the risk
to kill your brother?

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:55.620
I'm sure you have a reason.

00:11:55.980 --> 00:11:57.170
I wasn't wrong.

00:11:57.530 --> 00:11:59.290
Liang Shang forced me.

00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:00.980
He inherited the position
of house master

00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:02.770
but he was addicted to
jewel collections

00:12:02.890 --> 00:12:04.340
and abandoned
the Liang Family's business.

00:12:04.340 --> 00:12:06.020
He was not fit
to become the house master.

00:12:06.380 --> 00:12:07.980
I am supposed to be the eldest son!

00:12:08.170 --> 00:12:10.220
I am the one who is more ambitious!

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:12.570
Why didn't I get anything?

00:12:13.690 --> 00:12:15.380
I had accomplished nothing
for more than 20 years.

00:12:15.570 --> 00:12:16.690
If he didn't die,

00:12:16.890 --> 00:12:19.050
I would have
accomplished nothing forever.

00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:21.290
You've been enduring
for more than 20 years.

00:12:21.570 --> 00:12:23.380
Why did you take the risk now?

00:12:24.140 --> 00:12:25.810
Someone must have duped you.

00:12:27.050 --> 00:12:28.500
In that case,

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:32.570
I have an idea to help you.

00:12:36.930 --> 00:12:37.770
Young Master.

00:12:37.770 --> 00:12:38.810
We searched the whole house.

00:12:38.810 --> 00:12:39.980
Lady Cheng is not inside.

00:12:47.460 --> 00:12:49.170
I am Ling Buyi's Fiancee.

00:12:49.500 --> 00:12:50.890
I am very important to him.

00:12:50.890 --> 00:12:53.020
Use my life to exchange for your life.

00:12:53.220 --> 00:12:54.620
I'm sure he will let you go.

00:12:55.050 --> 00:12:55.890
How is that?

00:13:02.410 --> 00:13:03.170
Get to work.

00:13:03.930 --> 00:13:05.500
Tear the house down.

00:13:05.500 --> 00:13:06.380
Yes!

00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:09.500
Ling Buyi, are you crazy?

00:13:09.770 --> 00:13:12.170
You can't tear the house down!

00:13:15.690 --> 00:13:19.650
This is the Liang Family's old house.
You can't do it!

00:13:19.650 --> 00:13:20.530
Do it!

00:13:20.770 --> 00:13:21.530
Yes!

00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:27.140
Liang Xia.

00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:28.530
Don't hesitate.

00:13:29.050 --> 00:13:31.050
Escape with me as your hostage.

00:13:31.290 --> 00:13:32.860
You only have this method now.

00:13:33.170 --> 00:13:34.500
Don't lie to me.

00:13:34.690 --> 00:13:36.100
I will kill you now.

00:13:36.530 --> 00:13:37.570
I'll escape

00:13:37.570 --> 00:13:38.530
when all of them have left.

00:13:38.530 --> 00:13:39.690
Isn't that safer?

00:13:57.890 --> 00:13:58.980
Faster!

00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:17.890
If you still hesitate,

00:14:18.410 --> 00:14:19.570
you will no longer be able to escape

00:14:19.570 --> 00:14:20.770
when Ling Buyi

00:14:21.020 --> 00:14:22.050
comes in and tears the place down.

00:14:22.050 --> 00:14:23.020
Shut up!

00:14:29.650 --> 00:14:30.410
Come here.

00:14:36.650 --> 00:14:37.690
She's here.

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:39.410
Don't come near!

00:14:40.020 --> 00:14:40.930
Xia.

00:14:41.570 --> 00:14:43.170
A good man always avoids taking risks.

00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:45.810
Shen, don't go.

00:14:52.570 --> 00:14:53.620
Xia.

00:14:56.890 --> 00:14:57.890
Step back!

00:14:58.140 --> 00:14:59.220
Otherwise, I'll kill her!

00:15:01.260 --> 00:15:02.220
Back off!

00:15:05.690 --> 00:15:06.860
Third Young Master Liang.

00:15:07.410 --> 00:15:08.740
Let her go.

00:15:08.930 --> 00:15:10.980
Can I still escape alive
if I let her go?

00:15:11.530 --> 00:15:13.500
Don't think everyone is stupid!

00:15:15.050 --> 00:15:16.290
Surround them!

00:15:26.020 --> 00:15:26.930
General Ling,

00:15:27.100 --> 00:15:28.690
don't trouble my people.

00:15:28.690 --> 00:15:29.980
If he lets her go,

00:15:30.290 --> 00:15:31.650
I'll spare the Liang Family

00:15:31.740 --> 00:15:33.020
and your mother.

00:15:33.170 --> 00:15:34.170
General Ling.

00:15:34.290 --> 00:15:35.930
Why would you trouble a woman?

00:15:36.020 --> 00:15:38.340
The Liang Family is
a century-old family.

00:15:38.570 --> 00:15:39.410
Uncle.

00:15:40.140 --> 00:15:42.690
If Lady Cheng
of Changqiu Palace is in danger,

00:15:42.810 --> 00:15:45.500
it will also offend Her Majesty
and anger His Majesty.

00:15:45.500 --> 00:15:46.690
The Liang Family

00:15:46.860 --> 00:15:48.770
will also be finished.

00:15:51.690 --> 00:15:52.530
Zisheng.

00:15:52.650 --> 00:15:54.620
I saw the bloody robe
in the secret room.

00:15:54.620 --> 00:15:55.380
He is the murderer.

00:15:55.380 --> 00:15:56.050
Shut up!

00:15:56.050 --> 00:15:57.050
Don't move.

00:16:01.530 --> 00:16:02.650
Third Young Master Liang.

00:16:02.810 --> 00:16:04.290
We have you surrounded
and we have evidence.

00:16:04.290 --> 00:16:05.810
You have nowhere to go now.

00:16:06.460 --> 00:16:07.690
But I can guarantee

00:16:07.860 --> 00:16:09.260
your mother's safety

00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:11.140
if you don't hurt my fiancee.

00:16:11.140 --> 00:16:12.100
Xia.

00:16:12.740 --> 00:16:15.890
Escape. Leave me.

00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:17.140
I won't surrender!

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:19.100
I will drag someone with me
even if I die!

00:16:19.410 --> 00:16:20.810
If you want to kill this old woman,

00:16:20.810 --> 00:16:21.930
just do it!

00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:23.530
I won't change my decision.

00:16:24.340 --> 00:16:25.340
Xia!

00:16:28.020 --> 00:16:28.860
Move.

00:16:31.570 --> 00:16:32.810
You said it.

00:16:35.050 --> 00:16:36.770
I will cut off her arm.

00:16:37.860 --> 00:16:40.220
Let's see
who will change his decision first.

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:41.690
Son!

00:17:08.050 --> 00:17:09.290
Son!

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:12.810
My son!

00:17:14.740 --> 00:17:16.370
My son!

00:17:18.330 --> 00:17:19.850
I said there's no need for you
to investigate this case

00:17:19.850 --> 00:17:21.050
but you still wanted to take the risk.

00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:22.810
What would I do

00:17:23.050 --> 00:17:24.050
if something happens to you?

00:17:25.130 --> 00:17:26.220
I've been bringing

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:28.180
the blade Uncle Wan gave me just in case.

00:17:28.610 --> 00:17:30.370
But I saw that he didn't want to die

00:17:30.570 --> 00:17:32.700
so I tried to find a way
to let him take me out.

00:17:32.700 --> 00:17:33.900
If I would die,

00:17:34.260 --> 00:17:36.500
I still wanted to see you
one last time before dying.

00:17:37.250 --> 00:17:38.450
Forget that.

00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:40.260
I'm already so scared

00:17:40.370 --> 00:17:41.850
and yet you still scolded me

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:43.090
without comforting me.

00:17:44.570 --> 00:17:45.980
It's my bad.

00:17:46.900 --> 00:17:48.220
I was scared.

00:17:48.330 --> 00:17:50.020
Will the great Ling Buyi feel scared?

00:17:50.570 --> 00:17:52.020
I'm scared

00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:54.050
when it's related to you.

00:17:58.290 --> 00:17:59.980
Since we have the murderer,

00:18:00.570 --> 00:18:01.420
I will take him

00:18:02.130 --> 00:18:04.090
back to the Ministry of Justice
for interrogation.

00:18:04.370 --> 00:18:06.090
My pitiful child.

00:18:11.850 --> 00:18:12.940
Mother.

00:18:14.810 --> 00:18:17.180
There's no need to pretend here.

00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:19.900
First Brother is an adopted child.

00:18:20.700 --> 00:18:22.700
He was recommended by Father
to become governor of Liang.

00:18:23.850 --> 00:18:25.810
You wanted me to become the house master

00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:27.850
but Father gave it away

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:29.570
to Liang Shang.

00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:31.610
You...

00:18:32.260 --> 00:18:34.980
You didn't even argue with his decision.

00:18:37.260 --> 00:18:38.180
Liang Shang.

00:18:38.740 --> 00:18:40.460
He was mediocre.

00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:43.290
He was useless!

00:18:45.850 --> 00:18:47.290
But you and First Brother

00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:49.180
and even everyone in the family

00:18:49.980 --> 00:18:52.090
saw him as a treasured child.

00:18:54.570 --> 00:18:56.020
Why?

00:18:57.660 --> 00:18:59.500
Why?

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:04.610
What a joke.

00:19:05.020 --> 00:19:07.290
You were the one
who didn't attempt to improve.

00:19:07.420 --> 00:19:09.180
Your mother caused what happened

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:10.940
because she spoiled you.

00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:12.810
A good mother spoils her child.

00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:18.530
My son.

00:19:19.570 --> 00:19:23.090
Why are you so obsessed?

00:19:23.090 --> 00:19:24.810
My son.

00:19:26.810 --> 00:19:29.130
I end up this way

00:19:30.610 --> 00:19:32.330
because of you!

00:19:33.810 --> 00:19:36.500
You always blow up every matter

00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:40.460
which makes it so hard for me to end it.

00:19:43.220 --> 00:19:44.020
Liang Xia.

00:19:44.770 --> 00:19:45.850
I advise you to be honest

00:19:45.850 --> 00:19:47.980
about the person who forced you
to pin the blame on Crown Prince.

00:19:48.420 --> 00:19:49.530
Otherwise,

00:19:49.770 --> 00:19:51.260
it will involve your whole family.

00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:55.330
Take him away.

00:19:56.370 --> 00:19:57.090
You...

00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:02.770
My son!

00:20:02.770 --> 00:20:04.740
Son!

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:15.330
My son!

00:20:19.940 --> 00:20:21.900
Son!

00:20:24.460 --> 00:20:26.330
My son.

00:20:26.900 --> 00:20:28.530
I'll go to the palace
with you to see His Majesty

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:30.500
and confess what I have done.

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:36.020
How dare you!

00:20:37.220 --> 00:20:39.260
Zisheng wanted
to capture Liang Xia alive

00:20:39.610 --> 00:20:41.370
but you shot him dead.

00:20:42.130 --> 00:20:42.940
Tell me.

00:20:43.660 --> 00:20:45.700
Are you the culprit who asked Liang Xia

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:47.020
to pin the blame on Crown Prince?

00:20:47.330 --> 00:20:48.370
Are you afraid

00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:49.980
that Liang Xia will expose you

00:20:50.260 --> 00:20:51.770
after Zisheng captures him alive?

00:20:52.420 --> 00:20:53.370
Your Majesty.

00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:54.980
I'm not.

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:56.610
What is it then?

00:20:59.420 --> 00:21:00.770
The Liang Family of Hedong

00:21:01.020 --> 00:21:02.660
used to be a huge family

00:21:03.090 --> 00:21:04.370
but Emperor Li was violent

00:21:04.370 --> 00:21:05.660
and killed most people in our family.

00:21:06.130 --> 00:21:08.610
When I was house master,

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:10.500
there was

00:21:11.020 --> 00:21:12.980
already no one left in the family.

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:14.770
The Liang Family of Hedong

00:21:15.500 --> 00:21:17.530
was glorious for almost a century.

00:21:17.660 --> 00:21:18.980
It was famous back then.

00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:21.420
How much it has fallen now.

00:21:22.220 --> 00:21:23.090
It pains me

00:21:23.570 --> 00:21:24.850
as well.

00:21:25.260 --> 00:21:26.530
I still remember

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:28.980
when I started helping Your Majesty

00:21:29.220 --> 00:21:30.460
and had some minor achievements,

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:31.900
Your Majesty asked me jokingly

00:21:31.900 --> 00:21:35.460
why I didn't request for
my family members to be granted a title.

00:21:35.850 --> 00:21:39.130
I couldn't say it

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:40.810
because there were

00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:44.220
no other capable young men in my family.

00:21:44.810 --> 00:21:46.180
My two brothers

00:21:46.370 --> 00:21:47.900
were my father's own children

00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:49.460
but they were both good-for-nothings.

00:21:49.610 --> 00:21:50.850
As an adopted son,

00:21:50.850 --> 00:21:52.290
getting recommended by Father
to become a governor

00:21:52.290 --> 00:21:53.900
was already too much.

00:21:54.290 --> 00:21:55.330
Right now,

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:59.700
I'm not sure
how I can repay Your Majesty.

00:22:01.940 --> 00:22:02.900
Why are you crying?

00:22:03.220 --> 00:22:04.420
Speak nicely.

00:22:06.290 --> 00:22:07.180
Your Majesty.

00:22:07.940 --> 00:22:09.980
Do you think I don't know
the fact that Liang Shang and Liang Xia

00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:11.900
were both mediocre?

00:22:12.330 --> 00:22:13.330
In the past,

00:22:13.530 --> 00:22:16.330
they were not even fit
to take care of manors and farms.

00:22:17.090 --> 00:22:18.660
But what can I do?

00:22:20.050 --> 00:22:21.850
I am almost 40 years old.

00:22:22.090 --> 00:22:24.460
I can only hope

00:22:24.610 --> 00:22:25.770
that the next generation

00:22:26.260 --> 00:22:28.460
will produce a few capable men.

00:22:30.530 --> 00:22:31.420
I also

00:22:31.940 --> 00:22:33.850
understand the Liang Family's suffering.

00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:34.980
But,

00:22:35.260 --> 00:22:38.130
how does it relate to the case?

00:22:38.850 --> 00:22:41.460
Crown Prince was involved for no reason

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:42.980
and got a bad reputation.

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:45.610
Don't you think
Zisheng should capture Liang Xia alive

00:22:45.610 --> 00:22:47.700
and ask him what happened?

00:22:48.570 --> 00:22:49.660
Now, it's all over

00:22:49.770 --> 00:22:51.020
because you shot him dead

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:52.260
with an arrow.

00:22:52.570 --> 00:22:53.460
Your Majesty.

00:22:54.090 --> 00:22:56.770
If we keep investigating this,

00:22:57.290 --> 00:23:01.180
I think it's bad for the bigger picture.

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:14.940
I understand.

00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:17.370
You may leave.

00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:31.090
Zisheng.

00:23:33.020 --> 00:23:33.850
Do you

00:23:34.260 --> 00:23:35.700
have something

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:37.130
you want to say to me?

00:23:42.530 --> 00:23:43.370
Your Majesty.

00:23:44.020 --> 00:23:44.940
I think

00:23:45.570 --> 00:23:47.420
Liang Wuji is not the true culprit.

00:23:48.370 --> 00:23:49.700
From what I observed,

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:51.610
Liang Xia was not someone
who could come up with that plan.

00:23:52.420 --> 00:23:53.260
Then,

00:23:53.850 --> 00:23:55.290
who is the one

00:23:55.850 --> 00:23:57.420
pulling the strings?

00:23:58.050 --> 00:23:59.660
Who has the knowledge

00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:00.940
of Crown Prince

00:24:01.020 --> 00:24:03.260
meeting Qu Lingjun
at Zigui Courtyard?

00:24:03.370 --> 00:24:04.700
Who is the one

00:24:05.500 --> 00:24:07.260
who is willing to do so much

00:24:07.530 --> 00:24:09.850
to frame His Highness

00:24:10.330 --> 00:24:11.700
and spoil his reputation?

00:24:13.150 --> 00:24:14.290
It might be

00:24:14.610 --> 00:24:16.220
Crown Princess' cousin,

00:24:16.530 --> 00:24:17.660
Sun Sheng.

00:24:17.980 --> 00:24:18.900
After all,

00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:21.500
he is responsible
for guarding Zigui Courtyard.

00:24:21.740 --> 00:24:23.610
I already captured Sun Sheng.

00:24:24.770 --> 00:24:26.180
If we let him go,

00:24:26.370 --> 00:24:27.420
I'm sure

00:24:28.500 --> 00:24:29.980
he will be dead in two days.

00:24:33.570 --> 00:24:34.740
Tell me then.

00:24:35.090 --> 00:24:37.020
Who is the true culprit behind all this?

00:24:38.610 --> 00:24:40.130
I'm sure

00:24:42.290 --> 00:24:43.660
Your Majesty already know

00:24:44.420 --> 00:24:45.940
who the true culprit is.

00:24:48.020 --> 00:24:49.460
What he has done

00:24:50.940 --> 00:24:52.850
is way more than this thing alone.

00:25:02.290 --> 00:25:03.130
Does it hurt?

00:25:04.850 --> 00:25:05.700
Yes.

00:25:07.850 --> 00:25:09.700
If I didn't feel bad for our parents

00:25:09.700 --> 00:25:10.850
who passed away,

00:25:11.740 --> 00:25:14.130
I wouldn't have slapped you.

00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:18.570
My hand hurts as well.

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:23.770
Heng, don't worry.

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:27.180
I'll take full responsibility.

00:25:27.180 --> 00:25:28.290
I won't get you involved

00:25:28.810 --> 00:25:30.810
if I have been exposed.

00:25:31.020 --> 00:25:32.050
Are you even fit

00:25:32.530 --> 00:25:34.130
to say you won't get me involved?

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:36.530
You can't even get me involved
with that intelligence of yours.

00:25:38.050 --> 00:25:39.180
If you have

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:41.290
half of our late brother's intelligence,

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:44.940
you wouldn't have done something foolish

00:25:45.220 --> 00:25:46.900
like framing Crown Prince!

00:25:53.130 --> 00:25:55.020
I'm just not satisfied.

00:25:56.020 --> 00:25:57.500
The Yue Family has been sacrificing

00:25:57.500 --> 00:26:01.220
our money and lives for His Majesty.

00:26:01.940 --> 00:26:03.530
We put our family's lives

00:26:03.530 --> 00:26:05.220
in his hands.

00:26:05.370 --> 00:26:06.610
In the end,

00:26:07.660 --> 00:26:09.770
this is how we end up.

00:26:11.770 --> 00:26:13.700
There were seven of us in the past

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:16.740
but we are the only two people left.

00:26:17.180 --> 00:26:19.420
Who did we do all this for?

00:26:21.460 --> 00:26:23.660
The Yue Family of Rao County

00:26:24.050 --> 00:26:25.570
was rich and our lives were peaceful.

00:26:26.020 --> 00:26:27.290
Why do we have to revolt

00:26:27.290 --> 00:26:30.700
with the Wen Family?

00:26:32.570 --> 00:26:35.770
Why do you make it sound like
you didn't gain anything out of it?

00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:38.530
I am

00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:40.980
the consort.

00:26:41.460 --> 00:26:44.220
Marquis Yue, as a relative of mine,

00:26:44.500 --> 00:26:46.130
you live a lavish life

00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:47.850
and have every treasure you want.

00:26:47.850 --> 00:26:50.260
Why are you not satisfied?

00:26:52.050 --> 00:26:53.940
Think about Huo Chong.

00:26:54.660 --> 00:26:56.130
It's exactly because of Huo Chong

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:58.290
that I see His Majesty's true colours.

00:26:58.500 --> 00:27:00.740
If His Majesty is really a spirited man,

00:27:00.740 --> 00:27:02.330
he should have exiled

00:27:02.330 --> 00:27:03.460
Ling Yi and his family

00:27:03.940 --> 00:27:05.570
to avenge Huo Junhua.

00:27:05.850 --> 00:27:07.050
On the contrary,

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:10.420
he advised Ling Zisheng
to reconcile with his father.

00:27:11.130 --> 00:27:13.090
His Majesty always acts the same.

00:27:13.770 --> 00:27:17.090
He only wants everyone
to live a harmonious life.

00:27:18.610 --> 00:27:20.530
Without His Majesty's benevolence,

00:27:21.050 --> 00:27:23.090
I wonder how many times
you'd have been killed

00:27:24.700 --> 00:27:27.130
from all your actions.

00:27:31.420 --> 00:27:32.330
Heng.

00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:35.290
If His Majesty didn't marry Xuan,

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:37.940
you would be the queen.

00:27:38.530 --> 00:27:41.260
Third Prince would be the Crown Prince.

00:27:41.530 --> 00:27:42.460
The Crown Prince might have

00:27:42.460 --> 00:27:44.740
cleared his suspicion of murder now

00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:47.570
but everyone knows that he went out

00:27:47.740 --> 00:27:49.090
to meet another woman.

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:51.810
He already damaged his own reputation.

00:27:53.090 --> 00:27:55.020
The more I think about it,
the more I feel aggrieved.

00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:58.370
Third Prince was supposed
to be the Crown Prince.

00:27:58.610 --> 00:27:59.570
However...

00:28:01.850 --> 00:28:03.700
However, he lost the position
because of his mother

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:06.290
and had to stay
under a useless person's shadow.

00:28:06.530 --> 00:28:07.460
No way!

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:11.130
I am the first wife
who was officially married.

00:28:11.370 --> 00:28:12.570
I'm not a concubine.

00:28:12.810 --> 00:28:14.180
Don't pin the blame

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:15.570
of your grievances on me.

00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:18.740
You want to become
the uncle of the emperor

00:28:19.220 --> 00:28:21.220
but I have no interest
in becoming queen.

00:28:21.330 --> 00:28:23.090
You said you did it for me

00:28:23.090 --> 00:28:24.330
and for Third Prince.

00:28:24.330 --> 00:28:25.980
Actually, all the grievances

00:28:26.130 --> 00:28:27.700
are yours alone.

00:28:28.770 --> 00:28:29.530
Yes.

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:32.980
His Majesty is
indebted to the Yue Family

00:28:33.570 --> 00:28:35.500
except for you
who was late to the rescue.

00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:37.330
Everyone can cry out for injustice
for Marquis Huo

00:28:37.330 --> 00:28:38.530
except for you.

00:28:40.570 --> 00:28:41.530
Third Brother.

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:42.900
Let me ask you.

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:46.260
Why were you late in rescuing Gu City?

00:28:49.500 --> 00:28:51.290
Did you use the miasma as an excuse

00:28:51.980 --> 00:28:53.660
to cause Huo Chong's death?

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:01.220
Nonsense.

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:03.260
Heng, you...

00:29:04.260 --> 00:29:05.460
Don't try to frame me.

00:29:06.610 --> 00:29:07.940
Frame you?

00:29:10.180 --> 00:29:11.330
Ling Zisheng has been

00:29:11.330 --> 00:29:13.420
investigating you for many years.

00:29:13.850 --> 00:29:15.460
Are you involved

00:29:16.260 --> 00:29:17.770
in Madam Wen Xiu's coinage case?

00:29:18.370 --> 00:29:20.220
Are you the one

00:29:21.050 --> 00:29:22.850
who murdered the messenger, Han Wu?

00:29:27.980 --> 00:29:30.050
He didn't tell His Majesty yet

00:29:30.220 --> 00:29:32.090
because he is showing me respect

00:29:32.530 --> 00:29:34.330
and giving you a chance to confess.

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:36.900
Let me ask you.

00:29:37.260 --> 00:29:38.850
You said the miasma was poisonous

00:29:39.180 --> 00:29:41.330
but why were the horses alive

00:29:41.330 --> 00:29:43.180
when all the scouts
were poisoned to death?

00:29:43.700 --> 00:29:44.770
Why were there no reports

00:29:44.770 --> 00:29:46.700
about the horses
being poisoned to death?

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:49.260
Why?

00:30:02.050 --> 00:30:02.900
Yes.

00:30:05.900 --> 00:30:08.500
I received Huo Chong's messenger's
request for help.

00:30:09.770 --> 00:30:11.130
On our way there,

00:30:11.610 --> 00:30:13.850
we were told that
there was miasma in front

00:30:14.050 --> 00:30:15.700
so I sent someone to investigate.

00:30:16.420 --> 00:30:17.810
The scouts said

00:30:18.180 --> 00:30:20.610
the miasma was safe.

00:30:21.050 --> 00:30:22.500
It was then

00:30:22.810 --> 00:30:26.180
that Lord Qian'an's army arrived.

00:30:26.570 --> 00:30:27.530
You should know

00:30:27.530 --> 00:30:30.220
that our relationship with
the Xuan Family wasn't good.

00:30:30.500 --> 00:30:33.370
Lord Qian'an was Empress Xuan's uncle.

00:30:34.130 --> 00:30:35.740
When I thought about it,

00:30:36.740 --> 00:30:38.570
if I could delay Lord Qian'an

00:30:38.570 --> 00:30:40.090
in rescuing Huo Chong,

00:30:40.500 --> 00:30:41.530
His Majesty

00:30:43.290 --> 00:30:46.020
would definitely scold Empress Xuan.

00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:47.530
So,

00:30:50.610 --> 00:30:52.740
I killed the scouts.

00:30:57.130 --> 00:30:59.130
But there was discord between
the two families for a long time.

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:02.370
Why would Lord Qian'an

00:31:02.850 --> 00:31:04.610
believe Marquis Yue?

00:31:11.850 --> 00:31:12.810
Heng,

00:31:15.290 --> 00:31:16.370
you set me up.

00:31:17.290 --> 00:31:18.980
Is this setting you up?

00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:22.090
I'm obviously helping you.

00:31:22.330 --> 00:31:23.130
You...

00:31:23.700 --> 00:31:25.570
You are so cruel.

00:31:27.850 --> 00:31:28.940
She's not as cruel

00:31:30.370 --> 00:31:32.130
as you, Marquis Yue.

00:31:33.810 --> 00:31:34.740
Tell us honestly.

00:31:35.180 --> 00:31:36.330
How did

00:31:36.850 --> 00:31:38.090
Lord Qian'an die?

00:31:41.420 --> 00:31:42.570
Lord Qian'an

00:31:43.130 --> 00:31:44.460
was in a rush to rescue Gu City

00:31:44.770 --> 00:31:46.770
and took an army

00:31:46.770 --> 00:31:48.130
to investigate the miasma.

00:31:48.660 --> 00:31:49.770
However,

00:31:51.130 --> 00:31:52.530
he never returned.

00:31:53.050 --> 00:31:55.020
After that, I heard
his subordinate, Peng Kun,

00:31:55.260 --> 00:31:57.370
saying Lord Qian'an
was poisoned by the miasma

00:31:57.530 --> 00:31:59.020
and died in the forest.

00:32:00.940 --> 00:32:03.330
But I thought about it and remembered

00:32:03.530 --> 00:32:04.980
the report

00:32:05.530 --> 00:32:06.980
saying the miasma was safe.

00:32:09.300 --> 00:32:10.370
Unless...

00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:12.770
Unless Peng Kun was the culprit.

00:32:15.610 --> 00:32:17.700
It was Peng Kun
who murdered Lord Qian'an

00:32:19.330 --> 00:32:20.660
and snatched the Xuan Family's army.

00:32:23.180 --> 00:32:24.460
Even so,

00:32:24.810 --> 00:32:26.370
it wouldn't
have caused the fall of Gu City.

00:32:26.700 --> 00:32:28.050
When you arrived three days later,

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:29.810
why did Gu City

00:32:30.020 --> 00:32:31.130
still fall?

00:32:31.260 --> 00:32:32.050
Your Majesty.

00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:34.330
I don't know about this as well.

00:32:36.460 --> 00:32:37.770
Because Lord Yong

00:32:39.260 --> 00:32:40.850
switched the armament.

00:32:50.500 --> 00:32:52.610
Gu City was supposed
to hold on for ten days

00:32:55.570 --> 00:32:58.090
but it couldn't even hold
for more than two days.

00:32:58.770 --> 00:32:59.740
Lord Yong?

00:33:01.850 --> 00:33:03.130
It was you!

00:33:05.980 --> 00:33:07.460
Because of selfishness.

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:10.290
Because of greed.

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:13.660
You killed all the soldiers at Gu City.

00:33:14.130 --> 00:33:15.570
You killed my uncle!

00:33:17.500 --> 00:33:18.460
No wonder...

00:33:19.090 --> 00:33:20.500
Zisheng, no wonder...

00:33:23.810 --> 00:33:25.570
Switched the armament?

00:33:27.370 --> 00:33:28.130
Your Majesty!

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:30.130
Your Majesty! This is injustice!

00:33:30.460 --> 00:33:32.290
Although I was planning

00:33:32.500 --> 00:33:33.700
to delay the rescue,

00:33:33.700 --> 00:33:35.130
I knew

00:33:35.460 --> 00:33:37.500
the rescue army would still arrive

00:33:37.610 --> 00:33:39.610
if Gu City could hold on
for a few more days.

00:33:39.940 --> 00:33:41.290
Although I had selfish intentions,

00:33:41.290 --> 00:33:43.850
I never wanted Lord Qian'an dead.

00:33:44.090 --> 00:33:45.290
It was even impossible

00:33:46.460 --> 00:33:48.180
for me to switch the armament.

00:33:48.500 --> 00:33:49.330
Your Majesty.

00:33:49.530 --> 00:33:51.020
The fall of Gu City

00:33:51.220 --> 00:33:53.420
was not related to me.

00:33:55.090 --> 00:33:56.820
If you didn't lie intentionally,

00:33:57.020 --> 00:33:58.860
Lord Qian'an would not die!

00:33:59.780 --> 00:34:01.210
Gu City would not fall

00:34:01.210 --> 00:34:02.780
if you didn't delay your rescue!

00:34:03.610 --> 00:34:04.780
Until now,

00:34:05.130 --> 00:34:06.980
do you still think you are wronged?

00:34:16.170 --> 00:34:17.570
With the law

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:19.500
and Your Majesty here,

00:34:19.980 --> 00:34:21.780
I confess to everything

00:34:22.300 --> 00:34:23.210
I did.

00:34:24.730 --> 00:34:25.940
Your Majesty,

00:34:26.170 --> 00:34:27.020
which crime

00:34:27.860 --> 00:34:29.250
did I commit?

00:34:29.690 --> 00:34:30.610
Marquis Yue.

00:34:30.730 --> 00:34:32.900
Even if we can't try you

00:34:32.900 --> 00:34:34.130
for your malicious acts in the past,

00:34:34.570 --> 00:34:35.300
you worked

00:34:35.300 --> 00:34:37.730
with Liang Xia to frame Crown Prince

00:34:37.900 --> 00:34:39.420
and caused Liang Shang's death.

00:34:39.530 --> 00:34:41.460
How do you explain that?

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:42.420
Your Majesty.

00:34:43.170 --> 00:34:44.300
I was only dissatisfied

00:34:44.300 --> 00:34:47.500
with marrying
the shameless Fifth Princess

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:49.570
so I instigated Liang Xia

00:34:49.730 --> 00:34:52.050
and brought about Crown Prince's meeting
with Qu Lingjun.

00:34:52.500 --> 00:34:53.980
I only wanted

00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:56.300
to damage Xuan's reputation.

00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:58.020
I didn't expect Liang Xia

00:34:58.570 --> 00:35:00.170
to use the opportunity

00:35:00.170 --> 00:35:02.690
to kill his brother, Liang Shang!

00:35:03.210 --> 00:35:04.090
Your Majesty.

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:06.820
I did not kill Liang Shang!

00:35:08.170 --> 00:35:09.690
You did not kill Liang Shang

00:35:10.690 --> 00:35:13.020
but he died because of you.

00:35:14.050 --> 00:35:15.250
There are many people

00:35:15.460 --> 00:35:17.020
who murdered someone indirectly.

00:35:17.020 --> 00:35:18.570
Are they all guilty of their crimes?

00:35:18.570 --> 00:35:19.570
Shut up!

00:35:24.780 --> 00:35:25.530
I won't kill you

00:35:26.130 --> 00:35:27.900
since the whole Yue Family

00:35:28.020 --> 00:35:29.820
perished in battle

00:35:30.570 --> 00:35:31.730
except for you two.

00:35:33.940 --> 00:35:35.090
But from today onwards,

00:35:35.090 --> 00:35:36.210
you will be stripped of your status

00:35:36.570 --> 00:35:38.380
and sent to
the imperial mausoleum to guard it.

00:35:42.860 --> 00:35:43.730
Your Majesty.

00:35:45.690 --> 00:35:47.730
Your Majesty's indecisive punishment

00:35:48.420 --> 00:35:50.420
made me look down on you.

00:35:54.460 --> 00:35:55.420
Thank you

00:35:55.780 --> 00:35:56.980
for sparing my life, Your Majesty!

00:35:58.900 --> 00:35:59.730
Zisheng.

00:36:00.610 --> 00:36:01.650
I will investigate

00:36:01.820 --> 00:36:03.650
Peng Kun's case thoroughly.

00:36:07.820 --> 00:36:09.730
It's already late.

00:36:10.460 --> 00:36:12.130
You should return to Changqiu Palace

00:36:13.650 --> 00:36:14.900
and rest well.

00:36:32.340 --> 00:36:33.650
Didn't I ask you to go home?

00:36:34.530 --> 00:36:35.940
Why are you still in Changqiu Palace?

00:36:36.020 --> 00:36:37.610
I won't go back.

00:36:37.730 --> 00:36:38.460
Her Majesty

00:36:38.570 --> 00:36:40.570
is the only one
who won't scold me in this world.

00:36:40.730 --> 00:36:42.250
If my parents and brother

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:44.650
find out what happened today,

00:36:44.860 --> 00:36:46.300
they'll definitely nag me
for half a month.

00:36:46.500 --> 00:36:47.690
So, you are actually scared of that.

00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:48.900
Didn't I tell you

00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:50.820
not to be reckless?

00:36:51.570 --> 00:36:53.210
Why do you have to put yourself at risk?

00:36:53.340 --> 00:36:55.020
How could I do nothing?

00:36:55.300 --> 00:36:56.340
If I didn't do anything,

00:36:56.340 --> 00:36:58.380
who would help prove Her Majesty
and Crown Prince's innocence?

00:36:58.690 --> 00:37:00.570
Both of them are benevolent

00:37:00.780 --> 00:37:02.940
but they were framed
because of the Liang Family.

00:37:03.340 --> 00:37:04.530
I can't accept that.

00:37:04.690 --> 00:37:06.300
There's Qu Lingjun as well.

00:37:06.570 --> 00:37:07.940
If she was not proven innocent,

00:37:07.940 --> 00:37:10.500
how would her children face the world?

00:37:12.170 --> 00:37:13.860
I didn't do it for myself.

00:37:14.170 --> 00:37:15.500
Don't blame me.

00:37:17.570 --> 00:37:18.460
Fine.

00:37:19.170 --> 00:37:20.170
I'm not blaming you.

00:37:21.250 --> 00:37:22.980
I didn't stop you from doing it.

00:37:23.940 --> 00:37:25.020
I'm just worried about you.

00:37:25.980 --> 00:37:27.980
I can't forgive myself if you get hurt.

00:37:43.530 --> 00:37:44.900
The Gu City case
has already been solved.

00:37:45.210 --> 00:37:46.570
Apart from Peng Kun,

00:37:46.570 --> 00:37:47.940
everyone else
has already been captured.

00:37:48.940 --> 00:37:50.500
Why are you still unhappy?

00:37:54.130 --> 00:37:55.050
Shaoshang.

00:37:56.460 --> 00:37:57.820
If someone hurts your family

00:37:59.090 --> 00:38:00.610
and you know that person is guilty

00:38:01.900 --> 00:38:04.020
but you can't punish the person by law,

00:38:06.690 --> 00:38:07.860
what will you do?

00:38:11.500 --> 00:38:12.860
You still have a grudge?

00:38:18.210 --> 00:38:19.380
I'm just saying.

00:38:22.130 --> 00:38:23.020
What if?

00:38:25.940 --> 00:38:27.130
You know

00:38:27.130 --> 00:38:28.900
how petty I am.

00:38:29.020 --> 00:38:30.650
If someone hurts a person close to me,

00:38:30.650 --> 00:38:31.940
I won't forgive them.

00:38:32.050 --> 00:38:33.500
I'll return the pain

00:38:33.500 --> 00:38:35.300
1,000-fold back to them.

00:38:36.860 --> 00:38:37.980
What if

00:38:40.210 --> 00:38:41.500
taking revenge

00:38:42.940 --> 00:38:44.610
means hurting someone you love?

00:38:57.570 --> 00:38:59.210
As humans, making choices is inevitable.

00:38:59.530 --> 00:39:01.170
When you put the choices together
side by side,

00:39:01.650 --> 00:39:03.570
one will definitely be more important
than the other.

00:39:15.180 --> 00:39:17.900
(Late Husband Yuan Yu's Memorial Tablet)

00:39:27.110 --> 00:39:27.960
Shanjian.

00:39:30.190 --> 00:39:31.590
You are already 21 years old.

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:35.520
It's time to find a fiancee.

00:39:52.520 --> 00:39:54.800
Mother, you've never
mentioned my marriage.

00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:57.440
Why did you mention it today?

00:39:58.000 --> 00:39:58.960
Today,

00:39:59.520 --> 00:40:01.960
I can see that you
have feelings for Lady Cheng.

00:40:02.670 --> 00:40:04.110
Do you like her?

00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:05.670
She...

00:40:10.110 --> 00:40:11.670
She has never been in my plans.

00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:13.670
Don't you

00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:16.590
want to get married?

00:40:17.960 --> 00:40:19.110
Since I was young,

00:40:20.030 --> 00:40:21.880
I already had a list of fiancees.

00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:24.520
Their background, family, reputation,

00:40:24.750 --> 00:40:25.920
father and brother's
position in the imperial court,

00:40:26.230 --> 00:40:28.110
the factions that will be involved
after getting married,

00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:29.440
the lady's personality, talents

00:40:29.440 --> 00:40:31.070
and also appearance.
I thought about everything.

00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:34.920
But after seeing you and Father

00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:36.750
eating and sleeping separately

00:40:37.030 --> 00:40:39.030
and even missing a different person,

00:40:40.550 --> 00:40:42.070
I no longer want to get married.

00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.110
If this is how
every marriage in the world goes,

00:40:47.190 --> 00:40:49.480
why do we still need to
get married and have children

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:51.480
to hurt the next generation?

00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:56.400
We let you down as your parents.

00:40:59.230 --> 00:41:01.150
Your father had someone he loves.

00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:05.030
I used to be your uncle's wife as well.

00:41:06.150 --> 00:41:07.920
(Late Husband Yuan Yu's Memorial Tablet)
But a marriage between noble families

00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:09.710
(Late Husband Yuan Yu's Memorial Tablet)

00:41:09.710 --> 00:41:11.400
is usually complicated

00:41:12.150 --> 00:41:13.520
and we had no choice.

00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:15.320
So,

00:41:16.550 --> 00:41:18.480
we didn't get along well
after our marriage.

00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:22.070
We didn't think

00:41:24.880 --> 00:41:26.480
it would hurt you.

00:41:27.150 --> 00:41:28.400
It's fine if I don't get married.

00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:30.590
If I get married,

00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:34.070
there might be another
troubled couple in the world.

00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:39.150
Today,

00:41:41.590 --> 00:41:43.880
I saw you investigating the case
with Lady Cheng.

00:41:45.070 --> 00:41:48.320
You were nervous
when she was in danger.

00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:51.920
Wasn't it because you like her?

00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:53.550
Ever since Lady Cheng was engaged,

00:41:54.230 --> 00:41:55.750
I've been dragging

00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:58.360
my marriage with
many ladies in the capital

00:41:59.150 --> 00:42:00.400
because I wasn't satisfied.

00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:02.880
I didn't know why at first.

00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:05.030
Now that I think about it,

00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:08.150
it's because all of them
are different from her.

00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:11.150
So, what?

00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:13.360
Acting slow

00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:15.400
causes one to lose the game.

00:42:17.750 --> 00:42:19.960
Even if Cheng Shaoshang
is married today,

00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:23.190
my life

00:42:24.590 --> 00:42:26.230
still has to go on.

00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:05.070
I wonder why did Consort Yue
look for me

00:43:07.590 --> 00:43:08.710
so late at night.

00:43:09.800 --> 00:43:10.630
Zisheng.

00:43:11.920 --> 00:43:14.630
Do you know why I help you try

00:43:15.710 --> 00:43:17.320
and punish Marquis Yue?

00:43:20.960 --> 00:43:21.960
For the Yue Family.

00:43:23.590 --> 00:43:24.590
For His Majesty.

00:43:26.550 --> 00:43:28.000
For the people.

00:43:31.110 --> 00:43:32.550
The Yue Family has His Majesty.

00:43:33.520 --> 00:43:35.230
His Majesty has his people.

00:43:35.960 --> 00:43:37.520
The people have the world.

00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:40.520
What do they have to do with me?

00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:43.190
I did it

00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:46.960
for the Huo Family.

00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:49.280
For Huo Chong.

00:43:50.110 --> 00:43:51.320
And also for you,

00:43:52.110 --> 00:43:53.110
Ling Buyi.

00:43:55.400 --> 00:43:56.400
I know.

00:43:57.110 --> 00:43:58.880
You are not satisfied with

00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:01.070
the His Majesty's punishment
to my Third Brother.

00:44:01.550 --> 00:44:02.750
If you think

00:44:03.230 --> 00:44:04.520
his life alone

00:44:04.670 --> 00:44:07.150
is enough to exchange for
every life lost in the Huo Family,

00:44:07.750 --> 00:44:08.920
I will allow you to kill him.

00:44:10.840 --> 00:44:11.750
If you won't go,

00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:13.880
I'll go.

00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:16.280
His Majesty

00:44:16.840 --> 00:44:18.920
has already ordered
a thorough investigation on Peng Kun.

00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:22.440
He will give you an explanation.

00:44:23.590 --> 00:44:24.360
His Majesty and I

00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:26.840
both want you to let go of the past

00:44:27.230 --> 00:44:28.590
and get married with no worries.

00:44:29.150 --> 00:44:32.110
You should learn how to live normally.

00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:35.110
Live a good life

00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:37.440
for the whole Huo Family.

00:44:42.710 --> 00:44:43.960
His Majesty's punishment was correct.

00:44:47.030 --> 00:44:48.320
There's no blood of the Huo Family

00:44:50.230 --> 00:44:51.880
on Marquis Yue's hand.

00:44:54.150 --> 00:44:55.920
Besides, the whole Yue Family
perished in battle.

00:44:57.800 --> 00:44:59.840
Marquis Yue is
the only remaining male in the family.

00:45:01.800 --> 00:45:04.030
Due to their contributions, His Majesty
didn't give a severe punishment.

00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.000
I understand
His Majesty's consideration.

00:45:11.030 --> 00:45:11.880
Zisheng.

00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:14.070
The Yue Family

00:45:14.630 --> 00:45:16.480
owes you for the delay in rescue.

00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:18.320
I will always

00:45:19.440 --> 00:45:21.000
remember this

00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:24.070
and am willing to make amends anytime.

00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:25.190
There's no need.

00:45:30.110 --> 00:45:32.750
Thank you for your fair judgment,
Consort Yue.

00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:34.320
From now onwards,

00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:39.030
I no longer need
the Yue Family to make amends.

00:45:41.400 --> 00:45:43.280
But some people's crimes

00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:48.920
can never be amended

00:45:51.670 --> 00:45:53.030
even if it takes a lifetime.

00:46:38.560 --> 00:46:45.600
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:54.600
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:46:56.160 --> 00:47:03.480
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:47:04.920 --> 00:47:12.080
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:47:13.040 --> 00:47:16.800
The light between your brows

00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:21.280
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:47:22.060 --> 00:47:29.400
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:47:31.400 --> 00:47:39.680
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:47:39.960 --> 00:47:48.400
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:47:49.000 --> 00:47:57.120
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:47:57.680 --> 00:48:01.360
Both of us will be

00:48:01.720 --> 00:48:12.580
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:21.220
Our sincerity
