00:01:29.580 --> 00:01:32.780
=Episode 25=

00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:36.990
(Memorial Tablet of Eldest Brother,
Huo Chong)

00:01:36.990 --> 00:01:39.230
If I reveal the truth,

00:01:40.870 --> 00:01:42.030
will Brother Wen come forward

00:01:42.990 --> 00:01:45.390
and help us both?

00:01:50.350 --> 00:01:51.590
I may have found some useful clues

00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:55.910
to the truth behind Gu City's incident.

00:01:59.990 --> 00:02:01.070
Throughout the ages,

00:02:02.390 --> 00:02:03.750
good and evil are always rewarded.

00:02:05.270 --> 00:02:06.270
Mother, you can rest assured.

00:02:08.430 --> 00:02:09.510
Those who do evil

00:02:11.310 --> 00:02:13.150
will eventually be punished.

00:02:14.510 --> 00:02:15.350
You're right.

00:02:17.590 --> 00:02:20.990
That evil person is still alive.

00:02:22.590 --> 00:02:24.590
You must not let him go.

00:02:27.230 --> 00:02:28.150
Mother,

00:02:31.430 --> 00:02:32.990
I'll be wedded soon.

00:02:34.790 --> 00:02:36.030
All suffering

00:02:37.230 --> 00:02:38.910
will eventually pass.

00:02:43.190 --> 00:02:44.670
Our happiness is approaching.

00:02:49.470 --> 00:02:50.390
Zisheng,

00:02:50.830 --> 00:02:52.150
you'll be wedded soon.

00:02:52.470 --> 00:02:54.390
Yet, I'm the last person to know.

00:02:54.790 --> 00:02:57.310
Do you still resent me?

00:03:18.710 --> 00:03:19.630
Young Master,

00:03:19.830 --> 00:03:21.030
Marquis Chengyang insisted

00:03:21.110 --> 00:03:22.230
to see you.

00:03:22.470 --> 00:03:24.110
We dare not stop him.

00:03:24.630 --> 00:03:25.670
Don't blame them.

00:03:26.350 --> 00:03:27.790
It's my fault.

00:03:28.950 --> 00:03:30.150
Your mother said

00:03:30.150 --> 00:03:33.350
you proposed to Lady Cheng
in front of everyone today.

00:03:33.910 --> 00:03:34.950
My mother?

00:03:36.950 --> 00:03:39.270
My mother stays
in Xinghua Courtyard all year.

00:03:40.350 --> 00:03:42.510
She couldn't have told you about this.

00:03:43.630 --> 00:03:44.870
I wonder

00:03:45.990 --> 00:03:47.390
who was it that you meant?

00:03:49.670 --> 00:03:50.590
Zisheng,

00:03:51.870 --> 00:03:53.590
I know you're angry.

00:03:54.510 --> 00:03:57.430
But you can't sacrifice
your marriage out of spite.

00:03:59.310 --> 00:04:01.630
Cheng Shi is merely a new military general.

00:04:02.270 --> 00:04:04.190
He has no foothold in the royal court.

00:04:04.470 --> 00:04:06.270
He can't help you at all.

00:04:06.630 --> 00:04:08.750
That Lady Cheng's image is even
more infamous.

00:04:08.870 --> 00:04:11.710
This marriage brings
no benefit to you at all.

00:04:12.190 --> 00:04:14.070
Everyone in the capital city knows

00:04:14.070 --> 00:04:16.230
Princess Yuchang likes you.

00:04:16.230 --> 00:04:17.670
Regardless of character, appearance,

00:04:17.910 --> 00:04:19.510
family's social standing,
or family customs,

00:04:19.910 --> 00:04:22.790
Lord Ruyang's descent is much better

00:04:23.190 --> 00:04:24.550
than that of the Marquis Quling.

00:04:24.750 --> 00:04:26.270
It's not enough for you

00:04:26.910 --> 00:04:28.190
to rely on your wife to curry favor

00:04:28.710 --> 00:04:30.670
with Lord Ruyang's family.

00:04:32.070 --> 00:04:34.070
Now, you want to use my marriage

00:04:34.990 --> 00:04:36.910
in exchange for a bright future?

00:04:39.350 --> 00:04:40.790
Marquis Chengyang, please rest assured.

00:04:41.950 --> 00:04:44.470
I would never put a bet on my marriage

00:04:45.790 --> 00:04:47.630
because of my resentment.

00:04:47.630 --> 00:04:49.070
I feel relieved

00:04:49.710 --> 00:04:51.270
to know you don't resent me.

00:04:52.630 --> 00:04:53.910
But that Cheng Family...

00:04:53.910 --> 00:04:56.790
If you have slight guilt in your heart,

00:04:58.230 --> 00:04:59.990
please leave now.

00:05:01.030 --> 00:05:02.390
My mother said

00:05:02.990 --> 00:05:04.230
she doesn't want you

00:05:05.630 --> 00:05:06.990
to appear in front of her anymore.

00:05:09.470 --> 00:05:11.190
I never want to cause
my family any distress.

00:05:12.190 --> 00:05:14.270
So you'll have to endure it.

00:05:16.630 --> 00:05:17.470
Qi,

00:05:18.670 --> 00:05:19.590
send the guest.

00:05:52.870 --> 00:05:54.070
Who do you think you are?

00:05:54.550 --> 00:05:56.110
How dare a nobody behaves insolently

00:05:56.270 --> 00:05:57.870
in front of me?

00:05:58.350 --> 00:05:59.750
I'm the only daughter of the Huo Family.

00:05:59.870 --> 00:06:02.110
A nobody like you dares to propose to me?

00:06:02.110 --> 00:06:03.590
You're not even worthy
to carry my shoes!

00:06:03.830 --> 00:06:05.710
I'm going to beat this dissolute man!

00:06:05.710 --> 00:06:08.430
I'm going to kill you! Kill you!

00:06:08.430 --> 00:06:09.270
I'm going to kill you!

00:06:09.830 --> 00:06:10.750
Kill you!

00:06:12.670 --> 00:06:14.470
You darn dissolute man! How dare you!

00:06:14.470 --> 00:06:15.310
That's enough.

00:06:15.710 --> 00:06:17.390
It's all right now.

00:06:17.950 --> 00:06:19.030
Don't hurt your hands.

00:06:21.310 --> 00:06:22.150
Zisheng,

00:06:23.670 --> 00:06:24.910
is there any clinic here?

00:06:26.790 --> 00:06:28.870
Xinghua Courtyard is far away
from the clinic.

00:06:29.590 --> 00:06:30.510
Marquis Chengyang,

00:06:31.830 --> 00:06:33.670
you should hurry and get treatment.

00:06:44.350 --> 00:06:45.190
Madam.

00:07:15.340 --> 00:07:16.900
(Memorial Tablet of Eldest Brother,
Huo Chong)

00:07:40.230 --> 00:07:41.150
General Huo,

00:07:43.230 --> 00:07:45.110
I've come late.

00:07:47.270 --> 00:07:50.310
I'm 15 years late!

00:07:55.910 --> 00:07:59.110
I've let you down.

00:08:10.510 --> 00:08:12.350
If we can find out the truth
about Gu City

00:08:13.270 --> 00:08:14.710
and let those who died wrongfully
rest in peace,

00:08:16.270 --> 00:08:18.030
I'm sure he won't blame you.

00:08:51.630 --> 00:08:52.590
Young Master.

00:08:53.550 --> 00:08:55.030
I've been looking for
the whereabouts of the physician

00:08:55.270 --> 00:08:57.670
who used to work under Marquis Yue

00:08:57.670 --> 00:08:58.790
back then.

00:09:00.070 --> 00:09:02.070
I've finally found
that military physician.

00:09:02.670 --> 00:09:04.590
He has changed his name

00:09:05.070 --> 00:09:07.390
and lives in Western Village
on the outskirts of the capital.

00:09:08.270 --> 00:09:09.350
I'll send Qi and Fei

00:09:09.710 --> 00:09:11.350
with you for the investigation
in Western Village.

00:09:11.630 --> 00:09:12.390
You must not.

00:09:14.270 --> 00:09:16.190
Your subordinates will easily
attract attention.

00:09:16.550 --> 00:09:17.590
To be on the safe side,

00:09:17.830 --> 00:09:20.030
you should let me investigate it myself.

00:09:20.950 --> 00:09:22.990
I'll contact you anytime.

00:09:23.310 --> 00:09:24.310
Within three days,

00:09:24.910 --> 00:09:25.750
I'll return.

00:09:26.550 --> 00:09:27.510
What if

00:09:28.110 --> 00:09:29.550
I want to contact you?

00:09:30.270 --> 00:09:31.230
What should I do?

00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:33.430
The war situation always changed
by the minute in the past.

00:09:33.910 --> 00:09:34.990
Heralds like us always fell into

00:09:35.350 --> 00:09:36.990
the enemy's hand very easily.

00:09:37.630 --> 00:09:39.110
To avoid leaking military information,

00:09:40.150 --> 00:09:41.550
General Huo always ordered us

00:09:41.550 --> 00:09:43.590
to hide information in common objects.

00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:46.750
The Huo Army doesn't stick
to one type of communication.

00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:47.910
For instance,

00:09:48.070 --> 00:09:49.230
breaking a twig.

00:09:49.910 --> 00:09:51.150
If it's broken into three long ones
and one short one,

00:09:51.750 --> 00:09:53.110
that means I'm in danger.

00:09:53.950 --> 00:09:55.350
If I'm safe,

00:09:55.830 --> 00:09:57.710
I'll break them into two long ones
and two short ones.

00:10:01.950 --> 00:10:03.350
This trip must not be known to others.

00:10:04.190 --> 00:10:05.030
Remember.

00:10:05.870 --> 00:10:07.110
Safety is a priority.

00:10:08.510 --> 00:10:10.070
Please rest assured.

00:10:11.590 --> 00:10:13.990
I just can't figure out one thing.

00:10:14.150 --> 00:10:15.790
Why are you so anxious

00:10:15.790 --> 00:10:17.030
to find the remnants of Gu City?

00:10:19.110 --> 00:10:20.990
Is there something else odd

00:10:21.910 --> 00:10:23.390
about Gu City being breached?

00:10:27.390 --> 00:10:28.310
Yes.

00:10:30.230 --> 00:10:31.470
But I'm anxious

00:10:33.630 --> 00:10:35.430
because I have someone in my heart.

00:10:42.030 --> 00:10:44.190
Young Master,
you're young and promising.

00:10:45.030 --> 00:10:46.510
If General Huo was still alive,

00:10:47.830 --> 00:10:49.310
he would feel relieved.

00:10:50.830 --> 00:10:51.830
It's too bad

00:10:52.830 --> 00:10:54.030
General Huo could never see

00:10:54.030 --> 00:10:55.910
your accomplishments and wedding.

00:10:58.830 --> 00:11:00.070
After you returned
from your investigation,

00:11:01.390 --> 00:11:02.550
I suppose you can make it

00:11:03.270 --> 00:11:04.590
to the day of delivering
the betrothal gifts.

00:11:06.670 --> 00:11:07.350
You...

00:11:07.710 --> 00:11:10.390
Young Master, are you getting married?

00:11:13.670 --> 00:11:15.830
It's great to hear.

00:11:17.390 --> 00:11:18.990
I'm sure General Huo

00:11:19.390 --> 00:11:20.910
would also feel relieved.

00:11:23.710 --> 00:11:27.110
But I wonder what kind of young lady

00:11:27.830 --> 00:11:29.870
you set your eyes on?

00:11:44.510 --> 00:11:46.670
She's an extraordinary young lady.

00:11:49.150 --> 00:11:50.270
The person like me

00:11:51.350 --> 00:11:52.950
who's trapped in the past

00:11:54.710 --> 00:11:56.190
should have been alone.

00:11:59.110 --> 00:12:00.950
But if she's the one

00:12:02.550 --> 00:12:04.110
who'll walk through hardships with me,

00:12:15.270 --> 00:12:16.670
perhaps, it's worth a try.

00:13:39.910 --> 00:13:40.790
General,

00:13:43.350 --> 00:13:44.710
I didn't expect

00:13:45.950 --> 00:13:47.390
I'm thousand times

00:13:49.110 --> 00:13:50.750
more terrible than Ling Buyi

00:13:51.830 --> 00:13:53.630
in her heart.

00:13:55.550 --> 00:13:57.470
Dear, don't ever think of it.

00:14:00.310 --> 00:14:01.630
Niaoniao is still young.

00:14:01.910 --> 00:14:04.670
She doesn't know our worries as parents.

00:14:06.590 --> 00:14:09.550
What you said may have caused
her grievances.

00:14:10.430 --> 00:14:11.990
But you had no choice.

00:14:13.350 --> 00:14:14.710
Don't be angry with her.

00:14:15.950 --> 00:14:17.950
I should ask that she doesn't blame me.

00:14:24.270 --> 00:14:26.190
We did wrong to Niaoniao in the past.

00:14:28.030 --> 00:14:30.750
Now, she's willing to sacrifice
her happiness

00:14:31.070 --> 00:14:32.590
just to go against us.

00:14:34.030 --> 00:14:35.870
This is the consequence of our actions.

00:14:48.910 --> 00:14:50.630
Niaoniao is similar to you.

00:14:51.710 --> 00:14:53.630
You're both stubborn but soft-hearted.

00:14:54.150 --> 00:14:55.750
You both refuse to yield to compromise,

00:14:57.790 --> 00:15:00.750
and always say the meanest things.

00:15:02.070 --> 00:15:03.310
I don't blame her.

00:15:04.150 --> 00:15:05.510
I only blame myself.

00:15:06.750 --> 00:15:09.230
I'm reaping what I sowed.

00:15:10.510 --> 00:15:12.390
No matter how hard

00:15:12.390 --> 00:15:13.750
and reluctant we felt back then,

00:15:14.510 --> 00:15:16.110
we still abandoned her

00:15:16.590 --> 00:15:18.790
and made her like this.

00:15:22.030 --> 00:15:23.910
It's pointless to talk of this now.

00:15:27.230 --> 00:15:29.190
There are so many unhappy couples
in this world.

00:15:30.430 --> 00:15:32.190
I only hope she and Ling Buyi

00:15:32.270 --> 00:15:33.550
would not be one of them.

00:15:35.350 --> 00:15:36.750
I hope they'll love each other

00:15:37.830 --> 00:15:39.030
and grow old together.

00:16:06.270 --> 00:16:07.990
It's the Lou and He Family's
wedding tomorrow.

00:16:08.230 --> 00:16:09.710
Will you attend it with me, Mother?

00:16:10.110 --> 00:16:12.190
Other people's marriage
doesn't concern me.

00:16:13.670 --> 00:16:15.230
You can attend it yourself.

00:16:15.790 --> 00:16:17.110
What about my marriage?

00:16:17.910 --> 00:16:18.710
Mother,

00:16:19.230 --> 00:16:21.270
Mr. Wu has searched
for marriageable lady's portraits.

00:16:22.270 --> 00:16:23.670
Have you considered them
one by one for me?

00:16:26.950 --> 00:16:28.150
You're already an adult.

00:16:28.630 --> 00:16:30.310
You can decide on your marriage.

00:16:31.470 --> 00:16:33.790
If you find someone you like,

00:16:34.270 --> 00:16:36.790
you can ask your father
to propose it to her family.

00:16:36.950 --> 00:16:37.910
What about you?

00:16:38.270 --> 00:16:40.350
Other parents can't wait
to arrange their children's marriage

00:16:40.790 --> 00:16:42.230
because they're worried.

00:16:43.470 --> 00:16:44.550
Why do you never worry

00:16:44.550 --> 00:16:46.550
about what kind of wife I'll marry?

00:16:46.950 --> 00:16:49.270
You're given the freedom
to decide your own matters.

00:16:50.510 --> 00:16:51.670
Isn't that good?

00:16:53.590 --> 00:16:54.830
In your heart,

00:16:55.910 --> 00:16:57.470
do you find my marriage is not

00:16:57.470 --> 00:16:58.670
an important matter?

00:17:02.030 --> 00:17:03.790
When you get older,

00:17:04.950 --> 00:17:06.150
you'll understand

00:17:08.190 --> 00:17:10.150
what's important to you

00:17:11.390 --> 00:17:13.070
is only something trivial

00:17:13.470 --> 00:17:16.110
to some people.

00:17:17.510 --> 00:17:18.910
In this world,

00:17:20.150 --> 00:17:21.550
don't rely on others

00:17:23.190 --> 00:17:24.710
if you can do it yourself.

00:17:54.070 --> 00:17:55.470
What did Madam say?

00:17:55.710 --> 00:17:58.110
Which young lady did she choose for you?

00:17:59.750 --> 00:18:00.750
Mother said

00:18:01.510 --> 00:18:02.870
it's up to me.

00:18:06.510 --> 00:18:08.030
Young Master, you're knowledgeable,

00:18:08.110 --> 00:18:09.870
intelligent, and assertive.

00:18:10.070 --> 00:18:12.230
Madam let you decide

00:18:12.430 --> 00:18:13.830
regarding your marriage

00:18:13.910 --> 00:18:15.590
because she feels assured.

00:18:15.830 --> 00:18:17.950
No need to comfort me.

00:18:18.350 --> 00:18:19.230
I understand.

00:18:19.950 --> 00:18:20.870
In this world,

00:18:20.870 --> 00:18:22.990
if there are parents who are involved
in their children's marriage,

00:18:23.510 --> 00:18:25.190
there are also those
who don't meddle at all.

00:18:25.990 --> 00:18:28.470
While I'm envious of those
who have parents to discipline them.

00:18:29.030 --> 00:18:31.590
Others are envious of my unrestrained life.

00:18:32.030 --> 00:18:33.790
Who could you mean

00:18:34.310 --> 00:18:35.270
by that?

00:18:37.110 --> 00:18:38.030
No one.

00:18:38.990 --> 00:18:40.030
In this world,

00:18:40.670 --> 00:18:43.830
who's not ridiculous and pathetic?

00:18:47.590 --> 00:18:48.390
Young Lady.

00:18:49.470 --> 00:18:50.790
Young Lady, get up.

00:18:54.030 --> 00:18:55.390
General Ling is here.

00:18:59.710 --> 00:19:02.350
Why is he doing here at this early hour?

00:19:03.030 --> 00:19:04.190
Have you forgotten?

00:19:04.630 --> 00:19:06.550
Today is the wedding day
of Lou Yao and He Zhaojun.

00:19:07.070 --> 00:19:09.270
General Ling specially came
to pick you up.

00:19:09.830 --> 00:19:11.070
He's waiting for you

00:19:11.350 --> 00:19:12.310
at Jiuzhui Hall now.

00:19:21.150 --> 00:19:22.590
General Ling has arrived!

00:19:23.710 --> 00:19:25.550
General Ling.

00:19:26.550 --> 00:19:27.710
General Ling.

00:19:35.230 --> 00:19:36.230
General Ling.

00:19:47.070 --> 00:19:49.230
Second Young Master Lou,
congratulations.

00:19:57.950 --> 00:19:58.830
Yao,

00:19:59.750 --> 00:20:01.110
I wish you and Zhaojun

00:20:01.270 --> 00:20:03.710
blissful and long-lasting matrimony.

00:20:08.510 --> 00:20:09.990
I heard His Majesty has granted

00:20:10.190 --> 00:20:11.550
marriage to you and General Ling.

00:20:12.710 --> 00:20:13.830
I offer you my congratulations too.

00:20:18.030 --> 00:20:20.470
Miss Shaoshang is sure quick
in finding a future husband.

00:20:22.910 --> 00:20:24.230
It's been a few days

00:20:25.430 --> 00:20:26.510
and you've already found him.

00:20:32.430 --> 00:20:33.790
It doesn't concern you.

00:20:35.550 --> 00:20:38.310
I never expect
the ever-fearless Lady Cheng

00:20:38.670 --> 00:20:41.030
has also yielded to power.

00:20:44.030 --> 00:20:45.070
Second Young Master Lou,

00:20:45.910 --> 00:20:47.430
please lead us to our seats.

00:20:47.910 --> 00:20:48.790
Yao,

00:20:49.230 --> 00:20:50.430
leave matters here to me.

00:20:50.710 --> 00:20:51.870
You can lead guests inside.

00:20:53.430 --> 00:20:54.910
Shanjian. General Ling.

00:20:54.910 --> 00:20:56.270
Please follow me.

00:20:57.470 --> 00:20:58.630
As for Shaoshang...

00:20:58.830 --> 00:20:59.830
Let me take her.

00:21:05.790 --> 00:21:06.550
Yao,

00:21:07.110 --> 00:21:09.070
I'll take Shaoshang
to the female seating area.

00:21:09.950 --> 00:21:11.350
Shaoshang, let's go.

00:21:41.270 --> 00:21:42.270
I've been married twice

00:21:43.710 --> 00:21:44.910
in my life.

00:21:46.990 --> 00:21:48.510
When I first put on my wedding robe,

00:21:49.230 --> 00:21:50.430
my whole family died.

00:21:51.630 --> 00:21:53.310
I'm marrying for the second time
while mourning.

00:21:54.870 --> 00:21:56.350
We can't play music

00:21:57.190 --> 00:21:58.950
or hang a single lantern.

00:22:02.510 --> 00:22:05.190
Fortunately,
some guests are still willing to come.

00:22:05.630 --> 00:22:06.990
But I just never expect

00:22:08.190 --> 00:22:09.310
that you'd come.

00:22:13.910 --> 00:22:15.950
I didn't expect I'd come either.

00:22:17.910 --> 00:22:18.750
Shaoshang.

00:22:23.230 --> 00:22:24.630
I still need to thank you

00:22:27.510 --> 00:22:28.870
for returning Yao to me.

00:22:31.030 --> 00:22:32.350
If it weren't for me,

00:22:33.030 --> 00:22:34.590
you wouldn't have to marry Ling Buyi.

00:22:38.790 --> 00:22:40.230
I thought you wanted to say

00:22:41.270 --> 00:22:42.990
I've picked up a huge bargain.

00:22:43.870 --> 00:22:45.310
Why wouldn't I end
the betrothal with Yao earlier

00:22:45.590 --> 00:22:46.950
if I knew I'd be betrothed to Ling Buyi?

00:22:48.070 --> 00:22:49.910
Ling Buyi is suspicious, vicious,
and ruthless.

00:22:50.470 --> 00:22:51.910
How is marrying him a huge bargain?

00:22:52.350 --> 00:22:53.590
When I was in Feng Yi County,

00:22:53.590 --> 00:22:55.150
I saw his interrogation.

00:22:55.310 --> 00:22:56.430
When I recall it now,

00:22:56.630 --> 00:22:57.910
it still shudders me.

00:22:58.350 --> 00:23:00.070
His Majesty raised him

00:23:00.070 --> 00:23:01.030
and let him do anything he wants.

00:23:01.350 --> 00:23:03.110
How could he have such vicious behavior

00:23:04.390 --> 00:23:05.950
as if there's a blood feud?

00:23:05.950 --> 00:23:07.190
That wasn't his vicious behavior.

00:23:08.590 --> 00:23:09.550
That's his killing intent.

00:23:10.470 --> 00:23:11.430
He's a military general.

00:23:11.750 --> 00:23:13.030
His viciousness is displayed
in the right place.

00:23:13.670 --> 00:23:15.190
Seeing how you stand up for him shows

00:23:15.910 --> 00:23:17.630
both of you are not without feelings.

00:23:18.790 --> 00:23:20.350
I was too young and arrogant

00:23:20.670 --> 00:23:21.750
to see through people.

00:23:22.750 --> 00:23:24.470
I only realized this
after this incident.

00:23:24.990 --> 00:23:26.990
A beautiful
and unrestrained man is useless.

00:23:27.590 --> 00:23:28.950
It's better for the man
to be soft-hearted

00:23:29.510 --> 00:23:30.590
and gentle.

00:23:31.430 --> 00:23:32.350
As for you,

00:23:34.630 --> 00:23:36.190
I can say you're honest and kind too.

00:23:46.990 --> 00:23:48.150
I'm glad you know that.

00:23:50.150 --> 00:23:51.750
If it weren't for Yao's future,

00:23:52.790 --> 00:23:54.790
I wouldn't break off the betrothal

00:23:55.670 --> 00:23:57.070
even if your tears have run dry.

00:23:59.870 --> 00:24:00.830
Now,

00:24:01.630 --> 00:24:02.910
I see Yao as my elder brother.

00:24:04.150 --> 00:24:05.510
I'm protective of my family.

00:24:06.270 --> 00:24:07.470
He Zhaojun, listen up.

00:24:08.790 --> 00:24:09.990
I would never let anyone pick on

00:24:09.990 --> 00:24:11.070
my family members.

00:24:11.390 --> 00:24:12.270
Me too.

00:24:13.910 --> 00:24:15.030
Other than my younger brother,

00:24:16.030 --> 00:24:18.510
Yao is the last family member
I have in this world.

00:24:19.510 --> 00:24:20.830
I'll cherish him

00:24:21.310 --> 00:24:22.830
no less than you.

00:24:24.230 --> 00:24:25.510
Our lives

00:24:25.830 --> 00:24:26.950
will become better in the future.

00:24:28.390 --> 00:24:29.310
I hope

00:24:31.430 --> 00:24:32.710
it will be the same
with you and Ling Buyi.

00:24:38.590 --> 00:24:39.510
I hope so.

00:24:42.070 --> 00:24:42.710
Come on.

00:24:43.070 --> 00:24:44.270
We'll go to the banquet area.

00:24:44.390 --> 00:24:45.590
I'm still mourning.

00:24:46.630 --> 00:24:47.550
According to custom,

00:24:48.510 --> 00:24:49.670
I can't meet the guests.

00:24:50.390 --> 00:24:52.190
I especially come to see you

00:24:52.870 --> 00:24:54.030
and tell you these.

00:24:55.150 --> 00:24:56.310
Now, I've already said what I wanted.

00:24:59.150 --> 00:25:00.030
You can say

00:25:02.270 --> 00:25:03.430
I've repaid my gratitude.

00:25:40.550 --> 00:25:42.070
This way, please.

00:25:46.510 --> 00:25:47.710
This is unexpected.

00:25:48.390 --> 00:25:50.150
I was only absent from class
at Cheng's Residence for a few days.

00:25:50.590 --> 00:25:52.630
Now, Shaoshang is already betrothed to you.

00:25:56.150 --> 00:25:58.390
I'll take care of the Cheng Family's
education from now on.

00:25:58.830 --> 00:26:00.430
You no longer have
to trouble yourself anymore.

00:26:01.190 --> 00:26:03.750
But if you're truly bored at home,

00:26:04.510 --> 00:26:06.390
I can recommend
some official positions for you.

00:26:07.070 --> 00:26:09.470
Lest you meddle
in the young ladies' marriage.

00:26:09.470 --> 00:26:10.390
No need.

00:26:11.230 --> 00:26:13.750
My master, Huangfu Yi
has already recommended me.

00:26:13.950 --> 00:26:14.670
In future,

00:26:14.950 --> 00:26:16.950
you and I will be fellow officials.

00:26:17.710 --> 00:26:18.910
General Ling, rest assured.

00:26:19.230 --> 00:26:20.350
If I'm bored,

00:26:20.550 --> 00:26:22.510
I'll sure give you some trouble.

00:26:24.470 --> 00:26:25.150
Sorry,

00:26:25.870 --> 00:26:27.390
I mean I'll trouble you with favors.

00:26:29.990 --> 00:26:30.950
No problem.

00:26:34.150 --> 00:26:36.190
On the day of my wedding with Shaoshang,

00:26:37.110 --> 00:26:38.510
I'll invite you

00:26:39.070 --> 00:26:40.510
to attend our wedding.

00:26:42.110 --> 00:26:43.670
Speaking of attending a wedding,

00:26:44.030 --> 00:26:44.910
it was only last month

00:26:45.030 --> 00:26:46.310
I thought I'll be attending

00:26:46.310 --> 00:26:48.550
Shaoshang and Yao's wedding today.

00:26:49.430 --> 00:26:51.790
Clearly, you can't be sure

00:26:52.270 --> 00:26:54.070
until the wedding ceremony is over.

00:26:55.070 --> 00:26:57.430
Mr. Yuan, you first became the teacher
of Cheng siblings.

00:26:58.070 --> 00:26:58.990
Now,

00:26:59.190 --> 00:27:01.310
you're trying to probe
about my betrothal with Shaoshang.

00:27:01.630 --> 00:27:03.550
If I didn't know you have
high expectations,

00:27:03.910 --> 00:27:05.230
I'm afraid I would have thought

00:27:05.510 --> 00:27:07.950
that you have improper thoughts
about my future wife.

00:27:10.670 --> 00:27:13.670
Cheng Shaoshang is indifferent
toward men and women's love affairs.

00:27:14.070 --> 00:27:15.630
She only cares about scheming.

00:27:16.590 --> 00:27:17.830
I detest it the most

00:27:17.830 --> 00:27:19.870
when people use marriage
as a tool in their schemes.

00:27:20.950 --> 00:27:21.870
I have

00:27:22.830 --> 00:27:24.070
no improper thoughts toward her at all.

00:27:25.910 --> 00:27:27.350
If you put it that way,

00:27:30.710 --> 00:27:32.910
it means you're just picking on me.

00:27:33.830 --> 00:27:35.350
I really want to see

00:27:35.910 --> 00:27:38.550
what will happen to the man

00:27:39.230 --> 00:27:40.950
who is aimed at by a vicious woman.

00:27:42.390 --> 00:27:44.590
I'll have to disappoint you then.

00:27:46.470 --> 00:27:48.390
Shaoshang and I get along very well.

00:27:48.950 --> 00:27:50.470
We'll surely grow old together.

00:27:50.990 --> 00:27:52.470
But someone who's petty

00:27:52.470 --> 00:27:55.110
and speaks indecently like you

00:27:55.990 --> 00:27:57.990
may not live to see that day.

00:28:05.590 --> 00:28:06.510
General Ling,

00:28:07.470 --> 00:28:08.670
as a civil official,

00:28:09.350 --> 00:28:11.270
I'll definitely live longer
than a military officer like you.

00:28:16.950 --> 00:28:19.510
Get along well and grow old together?

00:28:20.990 --> 00:28:22.150
Can you believe

00:28:22.670 --> 00:28:23.630
these words yourself?

00:28:25.390 --> 00:28:26.630
Please stop arguing.

00:28:26.990 --> 00:28:28.030
If you ask me,

00:28:28.270 --> 00:28:30.070
Shaoshang is
the best young lady in this world.

00:28:30.070 --> 00:28:31.070
-Of course.
-Shut up.

00:28:53.590 --> 00:28:55.630
Congratulations, Lady Cheng.

00:28:56.110 --> 00:28:57.510
Lady Cheng.

00:28:57.510 --> 00:28:58.750
Come and sit next to me.

00:28:58.750 --> 00:29:00.270
Sit next to me.

00:29:00.270 --> 00:29:00.910
Shaoshang.

00:29:00.910 --> 00:29:01.790
Come and sit with me.

00:29:02.710 --> 00:29:03.870
It's all right. Thank you for asking.

00:29:04.110 --> 00:29:05.350
Niaoniao, you're finally here.

00:29:06.390 --> 00:29:08.030
Come and sit here.

00:29:11.550 --> 00:29:13.350
After picking his prospect
for many years,

00:29:13.630 --> 00:29:15.190
Zisheng's judgment
is nothing more than this.

00:29:16.990 --> 00:29:17.870
Cheng Shaoshang,

00:29:18.150 --> 00:29:19.430
you sure are capable.

00:29:20.030 --> 00:29:21.590
You broke off the betrothal
with my cousin first

00:29:21.590 --> 00:29:23.030
and got involved with Zisheng the next.

00:29:23.230 --> 00:29:24.710
Don't you feel sorry for my cousin?

00:29:28.870 --> 00:29:31.230
His Majesty proposed the marriage
to the Cheng Family himself.

00:29:32.030 --> 00:29:33.150
It was a grace from His Majesty.

00:29:33.830 --> 00:29:34.950
I dare not reject without any reason.

00:29:35.710 --> 00:29:36.390
Lou Li,

00:29:36.510 --> 00:29:37.590
you talked as if you're almighty.

00:29:37.590 --> 00:29:39.230
You should have been the one
in His Majesty's presence.

00:29:39.390 --> 00:29:41.070
Let's see if you're brave enough
to reject His Majesty.

00:29:43.550 --> 00:29:44.310
But...

00:29:44.430 --> 00:29:46.510
But you shouldn't have accepted that quickly.

00:29:46.710 --> 00:29:48.230
My cousin was so heartbroken.

00:29:48.670 --> 00:29:50.230
He has a deep affection for you.

00:29:50.910 --> 00:29:52.310
You should be sad

00:29:52.310 --> 00:29:53.190
and hide in the countryside.

00:29:53.190 --> 00:29:54.270
Why can your cousin marry someone else

00:29:54.270 --> 00:29:55.670
yet I have to remain unmarried for life?

00:29:56.070 --> 00:29:57.110
Why do I have to stay sad

00:29:57.110 --> 00:29:58.350
and miss out on the time to marry

00:29:58.350 --> 00:29:59.670
before I'm allowed to get married?

00:29:59.990 --> 00:30:00.990
Even if I'm allowed to marry,

00:30:00.990 --> 00:30:02.550
it must be someone unsatisfactory.

00:30:02.550 --> 00:30:04.710
I must hide in a lonely corner
to tend to my wound

00:30:04.710 --> 00:30:06.030
and not appear in front of others.

00:30:06.470 --> 00:30:08.310
Those who knew the truth understand
the Cheng Family ended

00:30:08.630 --> 00:30:10.390
the betrothal
to fulfill General He's dying wish.

00:30:10.870 --> 00:30:11.870
Those who don't know,

00:30:12.630 --> 00:30:13.630
they'd actually think the Cheng Family

00:30:13.630 --> 00:30:15.350
is deeply indebted to the Lou Family!

00:30:24.230 --> 00:30:25.070
Lou Li.

00:30:25.630 --> 00:30:27.670
If you don't want me
to look down on you,

00:30:27.990 --> 00:30:29.750
how about you repeat what you said

00:30:29.750 --> 00:30:31.790
in front of your parents.

00:30:32.150 --> 00:30:33.030
Let's see if your mother

00:30:33.310 --> 00:30:34.590
will slap you.

00:30:48.030 --> 00:30:48.830
Madam,

00:30:49.270 --> 00:30:50.750
where are you going?

00:30:51.350 --> 00:30:53.910
It's just a joke
between the young ladies.

00:30:54.070 --> 00:30:56.470
I don't think there's a need
for us to get involved.

00:31:01.430 --> 00:31:03.070
First Madam Cheng, you're right.

00:31:03.910 --> 00:31:06.550
It was my daughter who provoked first.

00:31:07.710 --> 00:31:09.710
It's a pity for the Lou Family

00:31:09.830 --> 00:31:11.950
not to have Shaoshang married
into our family.

00:31:12.270 --> 00:31:14.470
It's to fulfill the last wishes
of the martyrs

00:31:14.790 --> 00:31:15.950
that we had to do this.

00:31:16.550 --> 00:31:18.230
I'm relieved

00:31:18.710 --> 00:31:19.950
that you don't take it to heart.

00:31:21.150 --> 00:31:23.150
I naturally won't take it to heart.

00:31:23.550 --> 00:31:25.870
His Majesty granted our family
a marriage with Zisheng.

00:31:26.110 --> 00:31:27.550
He's such a great son-in-law.

00:31:27.750 --> 00:31:29.430
I would wake up laughing
in the middle of the night.

00:31:29.750 --> 00:31:32.110
Why would I have any resentments?

00:31:32.710 --> 00:31:33.830
It's admirable of General Ling

00:31:34.070 --> 00:31:36.550
to accompany Shaoshang to attend

00:31:37.070 --> 00:31:38.830
the Lou Yao's wedding banquet today.

00:31:39.350 --> 00:31:41.550
Even the most generous man

00:31:41.550 --> 00:31:43.030
will not accompany his future bride

00:31:43.030 --> 00:31:45.030
to the wedding banquet

00:31:45.190 --> 00:31:46.310
at her former fiancé's house.

00:31:47.430 --> 00:31:48.550
I wonder

00:31:49.230 --> 00:31:52.270
if General Ling is being heartless
and indifferent to Shaoshang

00:31:52.830 --> 00:31:55.470
or if he simply cares not
about his face.

00:32:00.070 --> 00:32:01.430
Thank you for coming.

00:32:01.910 --> 00:32:02.670
Please.

00:32:04.070 --> 00:32:05.230
Thank you.

00:32:14.230 --> 00:32:15.190
Mr. Zhang,

00:32:16.750 --> 00:32:17.430
let's have a drink.

00:32:23.070 --> 00:32:24.070
First Young Master Lou.

00:32:28.510 --> 00:32:30.070
If it weren't for your knowledge
and good memory

00:32:30.150 --> 00:32:31.670
to draw the map of Feng Yi County,

00:32:32.110 --> 00:32:33.750
this battle would've been hard to fight.

00:32:34.350 --> 00:32:36.550
His Majesty intends
to reward contributors accordingly.

00:32:36.830 --> 00:32:37.950
You've made such a great contribution.

00:32:38.390 --> 00:32:39.230
In the future,

00:32:39.870 --> 00:32:41.350
you'll be in high places.

00:32:41.870 --> 00:32:43.510
It's a supreme grace

00:32:43.670 --> 00:32:44.590
that His Majesty has granted

00:32:44.590 --> 00:32:46.670
to the Lou Family
for Yao to marry Zhaojun.

00:32:47.110 --> 00:32:48.870
As General He's in-law,

00:32:49.030 --> 00:32:49.870
it's only right

00:32:50.030 --> 00:32:53.110
for the Lou Family

00:32:53.550 --> 00:32:55.910
to help General Ling capture
Feng Yi County.

00:32:57.190 --> 00:32:58.510
We dare not ask to be rewarded again.

00:32:59.070 --> 00:32:59.870
Ben,

00:33:01.710 --> 00:33:03.310
am I right?

00:33:11.710 --> 00:33:12.510
Uncle

00:33:14.710 --> 00:33:15.950
knows me well.

00:33:17.910 --> 00:33:18.830
General Ling,

00:33:20.070 --> 00:33:21.670
I'm used to a carefree life.

00:33:22.070 --> 00:33:23.590
I only like to travel around.

00:33:24.070 --> 00:33:24.990
So I have no desire to be an official.

00:33:26.470 --> 00:33:28.030
I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you.

00:33:28.630 --> 00:33:29.990
You may have no intention
to be an official.

00:33:30.750 --> 00:33:32.270
But if His Majesty wishes
to elevate someone,

00:33:32.830 --> 00:33:34.470
I shall see who dares to hinder.

00:33:37.510 --> 00:33:38.510
Drink, First Young Master Lou.

00:33:52.710 --> 00:33:54.870
The Cheng Family just broke off
the betrothal with the Lou Family.

00:33:55.230 --> 00:33:57.190
Then they arranged another betrothal
at the palace soon after.

00:33:57.430 --> 00:33:59.030
It really takes people by surprise.

00:33:59.750 --> 00:34:01.270
It's hard not to be suspicious.

00:34:06.510 --> 00:34:08.550
Could Cheng Shaoshang
already have had an affair

00:34:08.790 --> 00:34:10.350
with General Ling long ago?

00:34:11.350 --> 00:34:12.670
-Affair?
-An affair?

00:34:22.910 --> 00:34:23.750
Yan?

00:34:25.670 --> 00:34:27.230
Why are you in the men's area?

00:34:28.270 --> 00:34:29.630
It's nothing important.

00:34:29.830 --> 00:34:31.710
It's just that Fourth Lady Cheng said

00:34:31.830 --> 00:34:34.270
she left her cloak
in General Ling's carriage.

00:34:34.510 --> 00:34:35.590
She asked me to ask about it.

00:34:48.510 --> 00:34:50.870
Shaoshang is someone with determination.

00:34:51.110 --> 00:34:52.950
Do you think she's like all of you here?

00:34:53.350 --> 00:34:54.590
At the sight of Ling Buyi,

00:34:54.590 --> 00:34:56.350
you'd behave like
those hungry puppies drooling

00:34:56.350 --> 00:34:57.670
at a piece of meat.

00:34:58.230 --> 00:34:59.030
It's too bad

00:34:59.150 --> 00:35:01.350
that Ling Buyi isn't interested
in you at all.

00:35:03.190 --> 00:35:03.990
Ladies,

00:35:03.990 --> 00:35:06.670
I'm sure you've known Ling Buyi

00:35:06.750 --> 00:35:08.230
for a long time now.

00:35:08.630 --> 00:35:10.510
But he never asks
for your hand in marriage.

00:35:12.790 --> 00:35:14.790
All of us are decent young ladies

00:35:15.030 --> 00:35:16.150
who are upright.

00:35:16.350 --> 00:35:17.590
Unlike certain someone

00:35:17.590 --> 00:35:19.830
who entices by making flirty advances.

00:35:20.550 --> 00:35:22.150
General Ling is a great man.

00:35:22.150 --> 00:35:24.590
What would he know
of these crafty and immoral trickeries?

00:35:25.590 --> 00:35:26.870
I'm afraid he was bewitched.

00:35:27.230 --> 00:35:28.950
Wang Ling, how dare you frame her!

00:35:29.790 --> 00:35:30.430
I did not!

00:35:31.510 --> 00:35:32.150
Qiqi.

00:35:56.910 --> 00:35:57.870
General Ling,

00:36:00.270 --> 00:36:03.030
today is the Lou Family's joyous day.

00:36:03.470 --> 00:36:04.830
What's the meaning of this?

00:36:08.550 --> 00:36:09.830
The black armored guards follow me

00:36:10.270 --> 00:36:11.830
wherever I go.

00:36:12.710 --> 00:36:13.990
It has always been this way.

00:36:15.230 --> 00:36:16.350
I have no intention to offend anyone.

00:36:21.910 --> 00:36:22.830
General Ling,

00:36:23.350 --> 00:36:25.430
this is the women's banquet area.

00:36:25.590 --> 00:36:26.390
I'm afraid

00:36:26.830 --> 00:36:28.030
your action is against proper conduct.

00:36:28.190 --> 00:36:30.070
Seating arrangement in
a banquet is a trivial matter.

00:36:30.710 --> 00:36:32.990
Having a sense of shame and propriety
is the highest form of proper conduct.

00:36:38.150 --> 00:36:38.950
All right.

00:36:39.590 --> 00:36:40.910
Since Lady Wang

00:36:41.470 --> 00:36:42.590
said I'm going against proper conduct.

00:36:44.590 --> 00:36:45.590
Then I shall teach all of you

00:36:51.150 --> 00:36:53.630
what is a sense of shame

00:36:54.070 --> 00:36:55.190
and the proper conduct!

00:36:59.390 --> 00:37:00.310
General Ling,

00:37:00.510 --> 00:37:01.710
what's the meaning of this?

00:37:04.230 --> 00:37:06.150
Lady Cheng is sure blessed.

00:37:06.310 --> 00:37:07.270
She actually made
General Ling protect her

00:37:07.270 --> 00:37:08.950
regardless of the seating arrangements
between genders.

00:37:08.950 --> 00:37:10.910
Fourth Lady Cheng just broke off
her betrothal.

00:37:11.350 --> 00:37:12.990
Now she could find such
a great future husband.

00:37:12.990 --> 00:37:14.590
It's such a great blessing, indeed.

00:37:19.190 --> 00:37:20.110
My apologies.

00:37:20.110 --> 00:37:22.430
I was too immersed in the chaos
that I couldn't control my hand.

00:37:22.630 --> 00:37:24.790
But to have such high-quality venison
to wash your robe,

00:37:25.190 --> 00:37:26.190
I'm sure it must be

00:37:26.470 --> 00:37:28.070
a great blessing for both of you too.

00:37:28.070 --> 00:37:28.870
You...

00:37:29.470 --> 00:37:30.830
Just let it go.
Don't even argue with him.

00:37:31.150 --> 00:37:32.750
No one can get Yuan Shanjian

00:37:32.750 --> 00:37:33.830
to say nice things.

00:37:34.830 --> 00:37:35.470
Let's go.

00:37:52.150 --> 00:37:53.110
Madam Cheng.

00:37:53.550 --> 00:37:55.150
Lady Wang said

00:37:55.590 --> 00:37:56.750
my behavior is against proper conduct.

00:37:56.950 --> 00:37:58.350
With the elders looking on,

00:37:58.790 --> 00:38:00.190
it's considered proper now.

00:38:00.990 --> 00:38:02.070
It's better this way.

00:38:02.510 --> 00:38:04.830
General Ling, you're very thoughtful.

00:38:06.470 --> 00:38:08.030
General Ling, that's not right.

00:38:08.510 --> 00:38:10.030
The sage said, proper conduct...

00:38:10.030 --> 00:38:10.910
Proper conduct?

00:38:12.750 --> 00:38:14.190
A young lady like you

00:38:14.550 --> 00:38:15.990
discusses the private matters

00:38:15.990 --> 00:38:17.910
of unmarried couples all the time.

00:38:18.110 --> 00:38:19.870
Do you think you know proper conduct

00:38:20.190 --> 00:38:21.470
and shame?

00:38:24.270 --> 00:38:25.110
You're not married

00:38:25.110 --> 00:38:27.230
but you're already behaving like
a married shrew.

00:38:27.630 --> 00:38:28.510
First Madam Lou,

00:38:31.110 --> 00:38:32.110
do you know of this?

00:38:37.310 --> 00:38:39.750
Lady Wang mentioned enticing

00:38:39.950 --> 00:38:41.110
and making flirty advances.

00:38:41.670 --> 00:38:42.830
Do you know Fifth Prince granted me

00:38:43.230 --> 00:38:45.190
two beautiful women last month?

00:38:45.510 --> 00:38:48.150
Your eldest brother, Wang Long,
coveted them.

00:38:48.150 --> 00:38:49.670
So I gave them to him.

00:38:50.030 --> 00:38:51.590
But it was only a few days

00:38:52.590 --> 00:38:54.590
when your father took them in.

00:38:57.510 --> 00:38:59.510
Those two women should be commended

00:39:00.670 --> 00:39:02.710
for their skills in enticing
and making flirty advances.

00:39:02.710 --> 00:39:03.470
You...

00:39:04.470 --> 00:39:05.510
Instead of thinking

00:39:05.510 --> 00:39:07.190
about how to slander
my future wife all day,

00:39:07.430 --> 00:39:08.910
why don't you go back

00:39:09.470 --> 00:39:10.310
and think about

00:39:10.870 --> 00:39:12.910
how you should address
those two beautiful women in the future?

00:39:14.950 --> 00:39:16.350
Should you address them
as your sister-in-law

00:39:16.870 --> 00:39:17.830
or

00:39:18.510 --> 00:39:20.110
as your mother?

00:39:20.110 --> 00:39:21.550
Ling Buyi, you...

00:39:46.270 --> 00:39:47.110
Ladies and gentlemen,

00:39:47.590 --> 00:39:48.510
I'm sure

00:39:48.990 --> 00:39:50.870
you've heard

00:39:51.110 --> 00:39:52.350
of my betrothal with Lady Cheng.

00:39:53.670 --> 00:39:55.030
On the day of my wedding,

00:39:56.190 --> 00:39:57.270
I hope all of you

00:39:58.030 --> 00:39:59.590
can attend.

00:40:32.130 --> 00:40:39.170
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:40:40.970 --> 00:40:48.170
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:40:49.730 --> 00:40:57.050
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:40:58.490 --> 00:41:05.650
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:41:06.610 --> 00:41:10.370
The light between your brows

00:41:10.970 --> 00:41:14.850
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:41:15.630 --> 00:41:22.970
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:41:24.970 --> 00:41:33.250
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:41:33.530 --> 00:41:41.970
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:41:42.570 --> 00:41:50.690
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:41:51.250 --> 00:41:54.930
Both of us will be

00:41:55.290 --> 00:42:06.150
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:42:08.490 --> 00:42:14.790
Our sincerity
