The Empress said that only after seeing you, will she be willing to die.
To be buried?
Take me to see her quickly!
Yes.
To be buried?
Wanru.
Is What Madam said true?
Awu, Jing and I have been waiting for you for a long time.
Come and hug him.
Why did His Majesty ask you to be buried with him?
Only if I die, can Jing be alive.
Awu, it's my fault before.
Don't blame me.
Please take good care of Jing for me from now on.
Teach him to speak and read and let him stay away from politics.
It doesn't matter if he is nobody as long as he is alive.
Don't say such words.
I'm going to beg the Emperor now.
Don't go to beg him.
Awu, Don't plead with him.
Only you promise me, can I die in peace.
I will not promise you.
I will never do that.
This may be retribution.
I've done a lot of evil things and always calculate others.
Finally, I have to pay for it.
I just didn't expect that it was you who has been protecting my Jing.
Now, I just wish all the retribution comes to me and don't be hard on Jing.
I beg you, Awu.
Promise me.
I will not promise you.
Jing is still in his infancy and he needs you to live and watch him grow up.
He can't live without mother.
The edict had been announced.
We all know that it cannot be changed.
Awu, I beg you.
Your Grace, it's getting late.
The Empress Dowager is waiting for my reply.
Awu.
You are the only one I can trust.
I can only entrust Jing to you.
If you do not agree, Jing will be an orphan.
From today on you are Jing's mother.
I promise you.
From today on, I am Jing's mother.
I will teach him to speak, to read, and I will protect and love him.
I won't let him be wronged at all.
Awu.
Jing will pay you back for me.
Your Grace.
Your time is up.
Take him away, quickly I don't want Jing to watch me die.
Hurry up!
Wanru.
Next life, let's be sisters again.
Hurry up!
Wanru.
Madam Xu.
Little prince, don't cry.
What's this?
Princess It's the Empress's token.
How could it be with the little prince?
Awu.
Jing will pay you back for me.

His Majesty is waiting you.
Zilong.
Jing.
Jing.
Awu.
Zilong.
I brought Jing to see you.
Jing - Awu.
- Jing.
Look at your father.
Come on and hug him.
Poor thing.
They made you the Emperor at such a young age Do you know how difficult it is to be a qualified emperor?
The Empress... Did Wanru leave any words?
Wanru said she wants Jing to grow up safely and be away from politics.
Awu.
Awu.
I'm sorry.
It's my fault before.
And now I' even sorry to you.
I'm sorry to Lord Yuzhang.
Who the hell is he?
Awu.
I did wrong.
To put it bluntly, it is all because of the lust for power.
Awu.
I suddenly feel a little nervous.
What's wrong with you, Zilong?
I feel nervous, Awu.
I have decreed after my death Jing succeeds to the throne.
Will I push him into the fire pit?
Wanru was right.
Whether Jing can be the Emperor, as long as he is safe, that will be better than anything else.
Awu.
In this Palace, I don't trust anyone including Mother.
But I trust you without any doubts.
I believe in you.
I entrust Jing to you.
His future is decided by you for his parents.
Zilong.
Zilong.
Hurry up, go!
Take Jing away.
As far as possible.
Zilong.
Go!
As far as possible.
Go!
Mother is coming.
Mother is coming.
Zilong.
Zilong.
Zilong.
Zilong.
Zilong.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Yue Where does Her Grace go?
I don't know.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
- Madam Xu.
- Your Grace.
Are you all right?
Your Grace.
Your Grace, I finally found you.
Hurry up!
Help Her Grace go back to Fengchi Palace and get changed.
We can't go back to Fengchi Palace anymore.
We have to get out of the Palace.
Go.
Your Grace.
Mother Zilong It feels like I had a very long dream.
In my dream, I was riding a white horse.
The horse...
The horse suddenly jumped up.
I seemed to be flying.
I...
I seemed to fly... fly... over... over the palace wall... over the palace gate...
I want to go out and take a look and I almost... fly I am the Crown Prince.
Your son is the Crown Prince.
Father.
You recognized my ability in the end.
Long live Your Majesty!
I want to do everything better than Father.
If I lost you, I am really alone and helpless then.
Zilong?
Zilong?
Zilong?
My son!
Halt!
Who is in the carriage?
Here's Empress's token.
Do you recognize this object, General Wei?
Zilong!
His Majesty passed away!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Jing.
Hurry up, go!
Where is the carriage going?
To the Mansion, Your Grace.
No.
Turn back right now.
Head for the capital gate.
We're going out of the town?
Are we going to join His Lord?
The warning given by the Emperor before his death fully illustrates the dangerous situation.
Perhaps, the Empress Dowager has found out I've taken Jing out of the Palace.
She will certainly send some to track me down.
Going home is a dead end.
We have to get out of the town, or it will be too late then.
But the little prince... We must get out of the town.
Your Grace.
It's me, Pang Gui.
It's Guard Pang.
I beg for an audience.
Finally, I have found you, Your Grace.
In afternoon, there was news from the capital, saying the Emperor was in distress in hunting.
I immediately sent someone to the barracks to inquire.
I was told that none of Ningshuo soldiers came back with them.
Moreover, word got around.
They said that the Emperor's assassination was related to His Lord.
How are things in the Mansion now?
The situation is urgent.
Please forgive me for making the decision on my own.
I have dismissed some servants and the undercover in the capital have hidden themselves already, waiting for your order Good job!
It is dangerous in the Capital!
What's your plan, Your Grace?
Get out of the town right now!
Yes.
Get of the town.
Your Grace.
It's me.
What are you coming for?
Your Grace.
I know that saying something to comfort you is of no use.
But under such a complicated situation, everything needs your decision, Your Grace.
The Crown Prince is still in his infancy and will ascend the throne soon.
The Emperor did not die of illness but assassination.
Your Grace, please restrain your grief.
State affairs should be our top priority now.
What do you want to report?
Your Grace.
Just now the remnants of the Imperial Guards have returned to the capital.
Remnants?
For Paddock hunting, I have sent thousands of imperial guards and Lord Yuzhang can mobilize only few hundreds of people.
How come we get only remnants left?
Don't be angry, Your Grace.
It's reported that Chief Fang Dayong led the army and encircled Lord Yuzhang in Lianyu Valley.
The Imperial Guards lost heavily.
At last they died together.
Died together?
Including Lord Yuzhang?
Your Grace, After the battle, the nearby county, learning the news, sent people to investigate.
It was finally evidenced that both Chief Fang Dayong and Lord Yuzhang died in the battle.
Lord Yuzhang's body was completely destroyed.
He died?
He died!
Well done!
Well done Zilong.
Now You heard it.
The person who hurt you is dead.
It's not enough to vent my hate.
Servant.
Your Grace.
Arrest Princess Consort Yuzhang.
Prison all the people related to Lord Yuzhang .
Your Grace.
Bad news!
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Princess Yuzhang used the Empress's token and got out of the Palace from Yonghua gate.
The little prince... had been taken away by her.
What?
Go find them, quickly!
Get Jing back at any price.
Yes.
- Your Grace.
- Your Grace.
- Your Grace.
- Your Grace.
- Your Grace.
- Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
What's wrong, General Li?
General Wei.
Was there any carriage going out?
Yes, there was one.
How long did they go?
About two hours.
Who's in the carriage?
It should be Empress's maid.
Any child in there?
There should be no.
General Wei, why didn't you check it strictly?
They had Empress's token.
I don't have the right to question them.
General Li also went out with Empress Dowager's token.
Should I detain you and your followers for strict investigation?
You!
General Li Wait.
I want to know what's the situation in the Palace?
The Palace is in a chaos.
Chaos?
What's going on?
I am ordered by the Empress Dowager to chase the traitor and dare not delay.
Traitor?
Who is the traitor?
Princess Lord Yuzhang.
- Princess Lord Yuzhang?
- Princess Lord Yuzhang?
She... She's Empress Dowager's niece.
How could she be a traitor?
I am ordered to chase the traitor and dare not delay.
General Li, tell me more about it.
General, just now, in the carriage...
Your Grace.
You finally woke up.
Take good care of Empress Dowager.
Yes.
Prime Minister Wen.
How's Empress Dowager?
Empress Dowager used to have headache and today her anger has exacerbated her illness.
I'm afraid that... Just tell the truth.
I'm afraid that she will often be unconscious.
Then is there any better cure?
Such disease is difficult to cure.
Just one night The Emperor passed away.
The Empress was buried with the Emperor.
The little prince is missing.
Even now, the Empress Dowager is... Is this the God's punishment for my country?
Prime Minister Wen is asking to see you, Your Grace.
Call him in.
Yes, Your Grace.
Prime Minister Wen, please Your Grace.
There you are.
Wen Zongshen.
I'm here I'll count on you to stabilize the Imperial court.
Don't disappoint me.
Your Grace.
I'm here for the stability of our country.
I'm begging for your decree.
What... what will you ask for?
The country can not stand without an emperor for one day.
You... You say it again?
I said the country can not stand without an emperor for one day.
Shut up.
What do you mean by that?
We have Jing.
And I'm not dead yet.
Your Grace.
Noble classes of Cheng include Wang, Xie, Gu, and Wen.
Although my family can't keep up with the Wang family, we also have solid foundation not to mention I served the emperors of the two dynasties.
There is no need to select a new emperor for glory.
What I say and what I do are all for the foundation of Cheng.
The only Crown Prince of Cheng is Jing.
What you should do now is to find Jing back quickly.
Each gates of the Capital are closed and the imperial guards have been searching all over the city.
Once the little prince is found, he is determined to be the emperor.
But... Just in case... No, there will be no other case.
Your Grace.
The throne is empty.
It is not good for the country.
The noble classes will not let such situation happen.
Wen Zongshen.
Who do you serve?
I'm loyal to Cheng.
I'm loyal to the Emperor of Cheng.
I believe in the wrong person.
Wen Zongshen.
Get out.
Get out of my sight!
Your Grace.
Go and find Jing.
Go and bring Jing back.
Go and bring Jing back Hurry up!
Bring Jing back.
Your Grace.
Calm down, Your Grace.
The imperial guards have been sent.
Take care of your body.
It's not enough.
Let him go.
Who?
Jin... Go to look for Eunuch Jin.
- Yes.
- Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Open the door.
Madam Zhaoyun, Madam Zhaoyun.
Madam Zhaoyun, Madam Zhaoyun.
The Empress Dowager has a secret task for you.
Do something important for her.
