I...
I agree.
I agree.
I agree.
Sorrow!
The warriors of the country defended the superior with death.
Even if killed, the mind will not change.
Missing the dead alone, who were long buried in soils.
Bloodily died by the sword.
My heart is really painful.
I drown my sorrows.
If the soul has aura, please identify my true heart.
Please enjoy the sacrificial offerings.
(Mobile Corps Commander, died in Changshui) (Leader of Soldiers, died on Mount Dongyu) (Ningshuo) Generals and soldiers, you are all valiant warriors of Ningshuo Army and Lord Yuzhang's favorite soldiers.
So you are also warriors of Cheng and my favorite soldiers.
For so many years, you have fought your way through many difficulties and made great achievements.
You survived the attacks of many enemies.
Now, for no apparent reason, you died at the hands of your own people.
If...
If I don't justify for you how can I live up to the soldiers of Cheng?
How can I comfort my people?
In this hall, someone said that the Emperor only offered sacrifices to the heaven, the country and the ancestors.
There is no reason to offer sacrifices to the dead soldiers.
Today, I am going to set this precedent.
Lord Yuzhang.
My Lord.
Charge!
My Lord, we have five hundred soldiers, but killed over two thousand Imperial Armies who encircled us!
Imperial Armies were wiped out!
Ningshuo Army!
Live together, die together!
Live together, die together!
Charge!
Charge!
Prime Minister Wen, why are you here alone?
Right I invited no one, but you.
You mean you have something important to tell me?
Yes.
Lord Jiangxia, during the coup on Mount Lianyu, Princess Consort Yuzhang escaped from the Capital.
Did she bring someone important?
You mean the son of the late emperor?
Right.
The little Crown Prince.
All the people in the Palace knew that the late Emperor and Empress entrusted their son to my sister and asked her to take him out.
Right.
But where's the little prince now?
Princess Consort Yuzhang should at least let us know.
Who do you mean us?
To the common people of the world?
The officials in the imperial court?
Or... to His Majesty?
You're smart, Prime Minister Wen.
Now the officials and the lords of all regions, all want to know where the little prince is.
But why did nobody ask in the imperial court?
That's because no one knows what His Majesty is thinking about.
The little prince must be the Crown Prince.
If he comes back, what we do with His Majesty?
Right.
That's why I invite you here for the discussion and see how we'll deal with it.
We can't just ignore it all the time.
If only we could always ignore it!
Just like the Mount Lianyu case.
So many people wish Lord Yuzhang could ignore it.
I understand.
It may not be good to get to the root.
Maybe the current situation is the best for a stable court.
Lord Jiangxia, could you tell me secretly about his whereabouts?
Where's the little prince now?
I give you my words that after you tell me where he is, no third person will know that.
My sister didn't mention it to me and I didn't ask her, either.
This is an important thing.
I'm afraid that I can't bear the responsibility.
It's better for me not to know it.
Wang Su...
He is more like his father.
He's been more scheming.
Do you mean Lord Jiangxia actually knows where the little prince is?
Since Awu was born, she has never kept anything from her brother.
I think what Lord Jiangxia said was right.
This situation nowadays is better for a stable court.
But it's absolutely not good for the Wang Family in Langya.
But unfortunately, Awu and her brother are not of one mind with me.
Otherwise, I would have made Jing the Emperor and the current situation wouldn't exist.
Your Grace, our country can stand no more chaos.
It's your fault.
You're fence-sitters.
At that time, you insisted on making Zitan the Emperor.
The nation can't do without an emperor.
What we did was for the stability of our country.
It's not out of our private thoughts.
Listen to yourself!
How heartless and ruthless you are!
Your Grace, if I'm truly ruthless, how can I be here all this time?
Are you loyal to me?
Your Grace.
Answer me.
Get out!
Get out of my place and don't come here ever again!
Get out of my sight!
Prime Minister Wen.
Get out of my sight!
Your Grace.
Don't be angry, Your Grace.
Don't be angry, Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Don't be angry, Your Grace.
Coup in Mount Lianyu...
I knew you set the trap.
But you had not expected that I could use it for myself.
Let tell you the truth.
Your son Zilong was killed... - I don't want it!
- Your Grace.
I won't give up!
Don't be so angry, Your Grace.
Here I am.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
You may rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Count Suyi.
Yes.
Let me ask you.
How long has Xiao Qi been back to the Capital?
Your Majesty, it's been more than a month since he was back.
You were his subordinate.
Why didn't you go to visit him since he has been back for more than a month?
I'm...
I'm too busy with business to visit Lord Yuzhang.
Is it because you don't have time or you just don't want to go??
Your Majesty, I surely can go to visit him, but it's not necessary to go there.
How come?
I'm an official of you, Your Majesty.
Lord Yuzhang...
He's an official, too.
I think it's better to remain a distance between officials.
What you said is absolutely right for me.
I hope you won't fail me.
I swear I'm loyal to Cheng!
And I'm loyal to you!
Count Suyi, today, I summoned you alone, because I want to hear what you really mean.
Anyone who isn't loyal to Cheng or you will be my enemy.
Remember.
In Cheng, there'll be more Lord like Xiao Qi.
As long as you don't fail me, I definitely will not fail you.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Soldiers in Ningshuo!
For Cheng, charge!
Charge!
Huai'en, we are brothers.
My Lord, I am grateful.
When I came back the next day, and knew about it, I ordered them to return the gifts immediately.
All the gifts?
Sure.
He was the first Lord from the low class.
He is of course the best man in the low class.
You are his most trusted subordinate.
Count Suyi isn't a big deal.
From my point of view, only the highest position under the throne can be good enough for you.
You?
Count Suyi?
Now, do you want to go against me?
What have you got?
It's hard.
Noble clans are wary of us.
It's very difficult to get a clue from them.
My Lord, Huai'en is very close to them.
Can we ask him to help us get some information?
He?
He hasn't visited us since the Lord came back.
At least he came from Ningshuo Army.
Guess what?
It is a big deal to be Count Suyi?
He doesn't even recognize us.
You didn't see the way he announced the imperial order.
Who did he think he was?
It's all right when he doesn't recognize us.
But how could he not recognize our Lord?
Without the Lord, he would be nothing!
At that time, when Lord was investigating the corruption cases, Song Huai'en seemed to be involved in several cases.
But later, he and Lord Jiangxia went to Jiangnan for the flood control and our Lord encountered the coup on Mount Lianyu.
Those cases were suspended.
Could it be that he sensed something and deliberately alienated us?
This is a sign of his guilty conscience!
I didn't even see that Song Huai'en was such an ungrateful and greedy villain!
He isn't such a man.
Previously, I was charged with regicide and rebellion.
If he didn't alienate me, I'm afraid that he couldn't protect himself.
My Lord, why are you still defending him?
Uncle Lord!
Uncle Lord!
Qinzhi.
Aunt said you would go out with us.
Let's go together.
All right!
Let's go.
Let's go.
What are you doing?
Qinzhi.
Qinzhi, come here!
- Why are you throwing at me?
- There's more.
Be careful.
Qinzhi.
- Qinzhi!
- Stop it, Qinzhi.
Throw it a bit farther.
It's my fault.
Why don't you listen?
Why throwing at me?
It's my fault, I'm sorry.
Qinzhi.
Qinzhi, don't hit your brother.
- Xiaohe.
- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
My Lord.
Xiaohe, do you want to have a mother?
Yes, I do.
Qinzhi, what about you?
So do I.
Well, would you two like to recognize Aunt Awu as your mother?
Sure.
Now.
Come and kneel to your mother.
- Greetings, Mother.
- Get up, please.
Mother Awu.
From now on, Xiaohe and Qinzhi are our children.
Mother.
Qinzhi, Xiaohe, maybe we'll have Jing, too.
We must try our best to bring them up.
When all of them get married, the world will be at peace.
And then, we could enjoy the happiness of a family reunion.
The whole world is at peace?
Then can every family live such a happy life?
Sure.
- The health and wealth of people - Wait for me.
is what I want most.
My Lord, can you let go of what you're doing now and focus on our own lives?
All right.
When I'm done with the revenge, we will live the life you expect.
Madam Xu, the Empress Dowager is hysterical again.
She is clamoring to see Her Grace.
Your Grace.
For your information, someone from Yong'an Palace said that the Empress Dowager was hysterical again and was clamoring to see you Zilong.
My son.
Run!
Aunt.
Here I am.
Awu.
Go and save Zilong.
Someone's trying to persecute him!
Aunt.
Zilong...
He is back.
I'll go see him.
Aunt, Zilong is a little tired.
He's back in Shiqian Hall for a rest.
He said he would come and see you, Aunt.
All right.
I'm glad he's back.
I'm glad he's back.
Why didn't you get Imperial Physicians?
Your Grace, we can get no Imperial Physicians without the permission of His Majesty.
His Majesty?
His Majesty?
Who is His Majesty?
My son Zilong is.
Go tell Zilong not to go to the Hunting Ground!
There have already been traps there!
What kind of traps?
Kill the Emperor and frame Xiao Qi up.
Who set it?
Who else can it be?
It's Zitan!
- Your Grace!
- Zitan!
- Your Grace!
- Zitan!
Why did you collude with Helan Zhen to kill Zilong and frame Xiao Qi up!
Please don't hurt Zilong, I beg you!
He is your brother, after all.
Aunt.
Your Grace.
My son died so miserably!
That's impossible!
He was killed by his brother!
How can that be?
Don't, Your Grace!
Please wait until we report.
Your Grace!
Awu?
You can all go down now.
Yes.
What's the matter?
You contacted Helan Zhen before?
He told me everything.
What did he tell you?
The conspiracy between you and him.
The conspiracy between us?
We didn't even met each other.
Then tell me.
When the late emperor died, why did you suddenly come back from the Imperial Mausoleum?
I just wanted to come back.
I didn't expect to be placed to the throne.
Is there such a coincidence?
What do you mean?
Are you suspecting me of murdering the late emperor to usurp the throne?
You didn't do it?
You and Helan Zhen conspired the coup on Mount Lianyu.
You killed the late emperor and framed Xiao Qi up.
You wanted to achieve two things at one stroke!
Well, tell me.
After the late emperor's death, who should have succeeded to the throne?
It should be his son, the Crown Prince Jing.
But you took him out of the Palace without permission so there was no emperor in the world.
Then I was placed to the throne by all the ministers.
It is possible to say that you colluded with me, too?
Did I want to be the Emperor myself?
I took Jing out of the Palace to save him.
Then you bring him back and let him be the Emperor!
Would he be safe if he came back now?
Someone had been trying to kill him!
Little prince, don't sleep.
Don't sleep.
Little prince, don't sleep.
Little prince, don't sleep.
You can't sleep.
Ridiculous!
Madam Zheng is an old maid from my family.
I know very well how she behaves.
I don't need outsiders to sow discord.
Was it you?
It's always been you.
Only when Jing dies can you be able to take your rightful place as the Emperor.
Zitan, you are horrible!
I can't recognize you at all.
I'm not what I used to be long ago.
Your Grace.
What's wrong?
Princess Consort Yuzhang went to see His Majesty.
Leave me alone.
Yes.
Look at me.
If you have a little kindness, if you have a little sense of shame, you can tell me clearly whether you did those or not.
You can think I did it all.
You can now tell the Empress Dowager.
Tell the ministers outside and tell your husband, Xiao Qi, who came back with one hundred thousand soldiers!
I conspired the coup on Mount Lianyu.
I wanted to kill him to take revenge on him for taking my wife!
I became like this, only because of you!
Your Majesty, what did Wang Xuan just say to you?
Don't touch me!
Your Grace, someone from the Imperial Study said His Majesty indeed quarreled with Princess Consort.
But they didn't hear clearly what they were exactly quarreling about.
Your Grace, this is serious.
You'd better talk with Lord Jiangxia.
Let me think about it.
Your Grace, the Lord made an oath.
When he finds out the real murderer for Mount Lianyu case, he will cut his head off to offer the sacrifice for dead Ningshuo soldiers, no matter who the man is.
If he knows it was His Majesty... Don't tell anyone what happened today.
Yes.
How long have you carried...?
For more than seven months.
But the pulse shows... What's wrong?
Are you feeling sick?
Nothing serious.
I just feel dizzy and nauseated.
You have no health problem, Your Grace.
You're just weak.
Remember not to be angry or exhausted.
Just feel at ease for recuperation.
Thank you, Physician Shen.
I'll leave first.
See him off.
Yes.
Want to run?
What are you doing, let me go!
Let me go!
Physician Shen, what's wrong with Noble Consort Su?
You looked like you had something hard to say.
I... Is there really something wrong with the fetus?
No.
Then what is it?
It can't be said too clearly.
But physicians like us must tell the truth.
That depends on situations.
Something like having children for His Majesty.
We can't be more cautious.
What if it's not a baby of His Majesty?
No, no, no.
I'm being stupid.
How is the Empress Dowager?
She took the medicine and now she's in a better mood.
Where are the children?
It's too late, they are all asleep.
My aunt is the Empress Dowager.
But she's old and sick without any children around.
How poor she is!
You can visit her often if you have time.
But she wanted to kill you.
Don't you hate her?
It's all gone.
You can think I did it all.
You can now tell the Empress Dowager.
Tell the ministers outside and tell your husband, Xiao Qi, who came back with a hundred thousand soldiers.
I conspired the coup on Mount Lianyu.
I wanted to kill him to take revenge on him for taking my wife!
I should have told Xiao Qi what he's unremittingly after.
But I... Zitan and Xiao Qi... One is the Emperor and the other is the powerful general.
Zitan made a terrible mistake and he should have been punished.
But if Xiao Qi really kills...
It will be the bane of the country and the disaster of the world.
What should I do?
Imperial Physician Shen said that Noble Consort Su is pregnant for nine months.
But she's been in the Palace only for seven months.
There must be something wrong with it.
Is there such a thing?
Have other Imperial Physicians checked on her?
It's a big deal.
No matter how clearly the Imperial Physicians know, they won't dare to say any.
All right.
I'll report it right now.
Keep watching them in the Palace.
Yes.
I did not expect that Su Jin'er wasn't having the baby for His Majesty.
How interesting it is!
Awesome.
What a surprise!
A little servant girl of our family can have such clever means!
Amazing!
But whose child is it she's carrying?
It doesn't matter.
As long as it's not Zitan's baby, we've got something on her.
I have something urgent that needs her help now.
- Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Go away!
- Your Majesty!
- Go away!
I've become a stranger.
Recently, the governors of Wujun, Lishui and Tangzhou submitted the reports that Lord Yuzhang made great contributions to fighting against rebellion all the way and asked His Majesty to grant him the Nine-bestowal Ceremony.
Everyone in this world knows this reward is a sign of the Emperor's abdication.
I don't really understand what Lord Yuzhang wants to do.
I mean, if he wanted to rebel, he did nothing at the best time.
If he doesn't want to rebel, why does he need the Nine-bestowal Ceremony?
Maybe it wasn't his wish.
Within a few days, governors of three places submitted the same report to His Majesty.
Maybe in the future, there will be more similar ones.
Duke Han, do you really think it's all by chance?
It seems that Lord Yuzhang still can't ignore the case on the Hunting Ground.
In such a situation, His Majesty asked lords and head of noble clans to offer sacrifices to the dead army.
All emperors only offered sacrifices to the heaven, country and ancestors.
This move is unprecedented already.
