00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:30,Joy of Life
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,What did Chen Pingping tell you?

00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,Your Majesty

00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,He mentioned

00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,the backgrounds of the three assassins

00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,What else?

00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:46,He also said this fire

00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,might have been set by Your Majesty

00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,That old fool

00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,What else did he say?

00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,He also said...

00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,Your Majesty did this to drive the Ye family away

00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,Not the Ye family

00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,But related to one person from the Ye family

00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,- Ye Liuyun?
- Ye Liuyun is in Jiangnan

00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,I heard he's wandering the world

00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,I sent him twelve secret decrees ordering his return to the capital

00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,Yet he ignored them all

00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,- Defying the decree?
- Yes, defying the decree

00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,Do you know why?

00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,Because he's a Grandmaster

00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,These people are now beyond ordinary opposition

00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,Sword Saint alone with his sword

00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,Has guarded Dongyi City for decades

00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,A million troops can't approach

00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,Why?

00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,Simply because

00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,They're all Grandmasters

00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,These people

00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,Disregard imperial law

00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,Treat rules as worthless

00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,Can you still call them human?

00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,Are they strategic weapons?

00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,Wrong.

00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,Weapons don't have emotions.

00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,The only thing that might restrain them

00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,is their humanity.

00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,These so-called grandmasters

00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,are actually a disease upon this world.

00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,Then why did you drive the Ye family away?

00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,I wanted to see if Ye Liuyun

00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,still possesses so-called familial bonds.

00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,But if he truly snaps, how will you handle it?

00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,The Ye family still has people in the capital.

00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,Ye Linger?

00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,I'll go to Dingzhou with you.

00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:07,L***g'er

00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,Father has wronged you.

00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,Leaving you in the capital

00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,was not to protect you.

00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:17,Do you know why Father went to Dingzhou?

00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,The defense failed its duty.

00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,That was the punishment.

00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,So our Ye family

00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,must have one person remain in the capital.

00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,You are the hostage Father chose.

00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,As long as you're here

00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,I feel at ease

00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,L***g'er

00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:56,I'm sorry

00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,Father...

00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,We can only choose one

00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,From now on

00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,never engage in that chivalrous nonsense again

00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,Remember

00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,In Dong Jing

00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,A fatherless child

00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,should do nothing at all

00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,I understand

00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,How do you feel about the Second Prince lately?

00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,Why do you ask?

00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:35,You can marry him

00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,But don’t keep him in your heart

00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,Why?

00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,If you fall for him

00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,There’s no turning back

00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:55,I understand

00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,I ** the Ye family's last resort

00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,I wish you didn't have to understand this

00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:04,But there's no other way

00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,In this world...

00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:08,things rarely go as planned

00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,Don't hate anyone

00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,Live well

00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,My daughter

00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,As long as people are present,

00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,there's always room for negotiation, isn't there?

00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,The reason Ye L***g'er stayed in the capital

00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,was because of her engagement to the Second Prince.

00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,You've been anticipating this day since the engagement was decreed.

00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,Why are you telling me this?

00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,At the Hanging Temple, I was surrounded by enemies.

00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,Yet you abandoned me

00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,to save the Third Prince. Why?

00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:41,Why

00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,If I hadn't blocked that sword at the time

00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,the Third Prince would surely have died.

00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,So in your eyes, my life is worth less than the Third Prince's?

00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,A sword in front, a blade behind

00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,I could only block one

00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,At that moment, the sword seemed more threatening

00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,Save the Third Prince

00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,It was merely acting on instinct

00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,You could've used the Third Prince as a shield

00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,Then you wouldn't have gotten hurt.

00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to think.

00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,I only thought of blocking the sword to save someone.

00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,Rest well.

00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,Once you've recovered a bit...

00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,I...

00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,I'll take you to...

00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,a place you wish to visit.

00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,Back in Xinyang, I kept wondering

00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,why they suddenly arranged a marriage for you?

00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,Turns out they're using you as a royal

00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,and a bargaining chip with the Ye family.

00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,Functionally speaking,

00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,this counts as a political marriage.

00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,Should I add some dowry for you, niece?

00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,Aunt,

00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,we're allies.

00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,You've already suffered complete defeat.

00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,Why would I ally with a failure?

00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,Aren't you still living under my roof?

00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,Then kill me to vent your anger.

00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,But we mustn't actually go mad.

00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:28,Think about yourself.

00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:31,The marriage pact is our alliance.

00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,If the Ye family falls, you'll sink with them.

00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,Until they return to the capital,

00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:40,your imperial prospects

00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,remain dim.

00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,But there's another path.

00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:50,Is there really?

00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,Yes.

00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,Kill Ye L***g'er.

00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,Sever all ties with the Ye family.

00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,Make a clean break with them.

00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:06,Bi An

00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,Go to the Ye family's place

00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:16,Tell Ye L***g'er

00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,The marriage pact is sealed—we share weal and woe.

00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,One day, I will restore her Ye family to the capital.

00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,Auntie, I think

00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,Offering help in need is better than adding flowers to brocade

00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:31,Moreover, right now

00:10:32,680 --> 00:10:34,The Ye family needs support

00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,Wouldn't it be cleaner if you killed Ye L***g'er?

00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:42,Otherwise if something happens to the Ye family, you'll be finished too

00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:43,Ye Liuyun is still here

00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:44,The Ye family won't collapse

00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,Alright

00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:49,How boring

00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,If I may ask, auntie

00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,Were you really trying to help me earlier?

00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,I just wanted to see rivers of blood

00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,Then I've disappointed you, auntie

00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,I'll set off for Xinyang...
