I swore I'll find out the truth.
For the past half of the year, have been investigating this Huai'en and until today I got a letter which contains with important clues.
A tip-off sent from Hulan.
My Lord, it's all set.
Let's go.
Yes.
You can't go.
We've found the murderer.
I'm going to do what I am supposed to do.
Hu Yao, show the evidence to Her Grace.
You're not unfamiliar with the handwriting, right?
Anyway he's the emperor.
You can't be reckless.
You have to take the long view.
You knew it already.
You are Lord Yuzhang of the Cheng.
If you take revenge tonight, the Cheng will be in chaos.
Xiao Qi, you must calm down.
Guards.
Yes Protect Her Grace.
She can't go anywhere tonight Yes.
Are you going to put me under house arrest?
Stop.
All of you withdraw.
I have a word with the lord.
(Taiji Hall) Yue.
Your Grace.
Get me dressed.
Yes.
Close the door.
Hurry, close it.
I won't let you close the door.
Go.
Be quiet.
Your Grace.
It's very noisy outside.
What's wrong?
Your Majesty, Lord Yuzhang is leading his troops into the palace.
Xiao Qi?
Yes.
Lord Yuzhang has entered the Taiji Hall, and summoned all officials to the hall.
That's good.
That's good.
Yes.
Zitan shall pay for what he has done.
Yes.
He's gonna pay.
Lord Yuzhang, what are you doing?
For the regicide happened on the Lianyu Mountain, we've got it all figured out.
Who is the murder?
The current emperor.
You can't afford to lie.
How can that be?
Lord Yuzhang, this is a serious thing.
How could His Majesty be a murderer?
- Right.
- Yes.
- How is it possible?
- How?
Your Majesty, Xiao Qi rebels.
Your Majesty, please leave here quickly.
Leave?
Where can I go?
I have to face it.
Bring me my dragon robe.
Yes.
Your Grace, I was ordered by the lord to guard you here.
Please go back, Your Grace.
Get out of my way.
Who dares stop me?
Open the door.
Jing, it won't be long before we leave this place.
Master, I'll take the little prince out.
Don't cry.
Don't cry.
What's up?
As required by you, everything is in place now.
We only need to wait for Xiao Qi to kill or imprison the emperor, and the secret guards of the Wang will immediately spread the news to everywhere, and incite local troops to march into the Capital to suppress the rebellion.
Any differences among the Capital battalions?
Everything is under Count Suyi's control.
And, just now, the secret guard who keeps an eye on Lord Yuzhang's Mansion reported that Her Grace was heading for the Palace.
You can't afford to lie.
These are letters between the current emperor and the Prince Hulan Zhen, Check them yourselves.
Look, look.
It's true.
It's real.
Yes, yes.
Lord Yuzhang, I don't care if these letters are real or not, or who is the murder.
I do remind you that you've brought troops into the palace without permission.
This is a big mistake.
Are you going to be a traitor of the Cheng?
Are the ex-emperor and Ningshuo soldiers dying for nothing?
Xiao Qi, you shouldn't forget that when Wang Lin wanted to take you as his son-in-law and trapped you in the Capital, it's me who managed to get you back to Ningshuo.
Listen to me, stop right now.
- Yes.
- Don't talk anymore.
I am determined.
I'm here.
Tang Jing, show him the letters.
No need.
The letters were written by me.
This is true.
I did not expect this.
I can't imagine this.
You killed the emperor, framed others, and colluded with foreign enemies.
It's really you.
Is it unexceptional?
The winner would take all but the loser gets nothing.
To be on the throne, you even killed your own brother?
He deserved to die.
Today, for the ex-emperor for my brothers died on the Lianyu Mountain, I will avenge on you.
Xiao Qi, how dare you?
Lord Yuzhang, you can't do it.
For your brothers?
You just say it in a grand way.
You want to sit on the throne, too, right?
It's a throne with blood.
I don't care whoever will have it.
I'll kill you and take my brothers back to Ningshuo.
Princess Consort Yuzhang arrives.
Xiao Qi, take back your sword.
Drawing sword before His Majesty is not what a court official should do.
Now, don't advise me.
Go back.
Now that I've come, I won't go back.
Guards, send Her Grace back.
This is in the court, not the outside world.
You will make a big mistake if you killed him.
When he colluded with foreign enemies to murder the ex-emperor, slaughter my Ningshuo soldiers on the Lianyu Mountain, did he care for the law?
Xiao Qi.
Do you have to defend him like this?
I'm defending the Cheng.
Awu, I can do anything as you like.
Listen to me this time.
I can't.
Xiao Qi, no matter how much powerful you are, if you have no faith, no fear, no restraint in your heart, you're always a rash man.
My Lord.
My Lord.
Take the bones of our brothers back to Ningshuo.
Yes.
Go.
(Jianning) My Lord, Her Grace is watching you from the wall.
At this time if you and your Ningshuo Army were not in the Capital, would they take action?
Good.
Let's make it a shell game and make allowance.
Let them show up and play their tricks.
Let's see who are behind all of this.
Hu Yao.
Yes.
You stay here to protect Her Grace.
Understood.
The wind rises.
Your Grace, let's go back.
This is a risky move.
Go back.
Go and find Mrs.Suyi.
Your Majesty, please take a rest.
Leave me alone.
I am now truly a lonely King.
(Lord Yuzhang's Mansion) Your Grace, I want a drink with you.
You want to drink?
Yue, bring us some wine.
Yes.
Come here, sit, Yuxiu.
Recently, I just feel more and more uneasy.
Huai'en had been out these days and came home late.
I wonder what he's doing, but he doesn't want me to know.
A few days ago, I came over and wanted to tell you about it, but I thought it was a long time before we met again, I shouldn't mention this.
Have you ever asked him that what was he busy with?
I asked him many times, but he always said he had something important to do that I shouldn't ask.
But every time he returned home, he was always in a hurry and in a trance.
His temper became more and more violent.
He's like a different person now.
Do you know whom he came into contact with?
It seems like commanders of the Capital battalions.
If it was in the past, the lord angrily returned to Ningshuo, Huai'en would surely follow him, but now he stays.
Your Grace, do you think Huai'en has something important concealed from you and the lord?
Don't think too much.
Let's have a nice drink tonight.
Come on.
Zitan is still alive.
Xiao Qi didn't rebel.
The Capital is safe and the world in peace.
Under this situation, if you insist on doing it, you are going against the trend.
What's your opinion?
You're an intellectual.
You can be more flexible, able to advance or withdraw.
Advance or withdraw?
You and I returned to the Capital from Jiangnan.
Do you know exactly what we're going to do?
In a good word, we're to overthrow the sinful emperor, and crown a new emperor.
In a bad word, we're to stage a coup.
Do you know it?
From ancient times, rebellion has never had a way out.
If you feel safe in this world and the world is peaceful, it's fine.
Now you are the master of the Wang, you can tell Wang An to dig a pit and then I'll jump into it myself, and you fill it.
Then you can be at peace as Lord Jiangxia.
Okay?
No.
I was just worried if we did this, Awu will hurt.
She was born in the Wang Family of Langya.
She has to bear more.
It's her destiny, your destiny and mine.
Now things are changing, so can plans.
Greetings, Your Grace.
Is His Majesty within?
Yes.
Your Grace, His Majesty won't let anyone in.
Everyone, wait outside.
Out.
I tell you to get out.
Get out.
Awu, please go back.
I...I don't want you to see me like this.
I'm not good.
You must cheer yourself up.
Behave like an emperor.
Get up, quick.
How?
Do I look like an emperor?
Xiao Qi humiliated me in front of all officials.
I...
I was ruined and lost.
How can I cheer up?
You know the result, so why did you do that?
Yes.
Now I have to sit there every day.
You know why?
Isn't it for you?
To protect you and guard you.
- No more drink.
- Awu, come back to me.
Zitan.
That's why I don't want you to see me like this.
I don't want you to see me like this.
Zitan, my brother Zitan was not like this.
He read books of sages, shared a heart of the benevolent, and assumed the responsibility of saving the world.
My brother Zitan, as the emperor, he would break the siege of the world, relieved the suffering of the people, and suppressed the rebellion in the court.
If Awu was the only one he cared, Awu would despise him, and blame him.
What the Cheng needs is a virtuous and wise emperor.
Maybe I don't deserve to be an emperor.
Something I always thought was right, but it turned out wrong.
I...
I made a terrible mistake.
Too wrong to repent.
Awu, I don't deserve to be an emperor.
Do you remember my father once said that if Awu was a boy, you would be more suitable than any of us to be the emperor.
Are you trying to get me to be unfaithful?
Or I can surrender the throne to your husband?
In today's world, Xiao Qi is the most powerful person who can claim the throne.
It's said that whoever marries the Wang's daughter will win the throne.
It's true.
I and Xiao Qi have no intention of this.
I stole the throne from my nephew.
I should return it to him.
But now there are dangers in the court.
Jing is too young.
It's not a good time to surrender.
I can write a rescript on my sin at any time and give up the throne, and imprison myself in the Imperial Mausoleum for the rest of my life.
Wrong or right, to live or die, I don't care what others may talk.
I have nothing left.
I have nothing left now.
I just hope you'll forgive me.
Whatever, you are still the emperor of the Cheng.
I beg you to cheer up, to behave like the ruler of the country, and to perform the duties of an emperor.
Brother, the country can't run without an emperor.
The Cheng today, people are suffering.
Zitan, as the emperor, stays down and drinks all day long.
The court is as a pool of stagnant water.
I know under this stagnant water, billows are brewing.
After Xiao Qi leaves, the hidden forces in the Capital are bound to pick up their paces.
I am tired and scared, but I won't run away.
Boss, do you have any fine white jade bracelets?
Yes, yes.
Please, please.
This way, please, please.
Who the hell are you?
The secret guard of the Wang?
Go ahead.
What's the matter?
On the orders of the old master, a message for the Empress Dowager.
The old master?
Yes.
Lord Jiangxia's father, the Empress Dowager's brother, the Prime Minister, the Defender Duke.
You're lying.
The old master is still alive, and he is in the Capital.
