♫ In exchange for the insanity of numerous individuals? ♫
♫ Sooner or later, the chaotic world will catch up ♫

♫ Let the darkness be so dark that it engulfs all hope ♫

My Lord, I think there is something out of place.

This has been with me for twenty years.
I'm handing this to you. It will protect your safety.
No matter what, you must come back to me.
Xiao Xue. There is something I have always wanted to tell you.

I hope you will marry me. Will you?
I will.

People! All go in and protect the Emperor.
So how? Is it still going smoothly?
We can't stay here long. Let's go.
You are back.
Quick, get into the carriage.
Rong Er, leave with the both of them first.
What about you?
I want to wait for Xiao Gao and Xue Nu.
Didn't the prince say he would take care of them?
I'm a bit worried about them. Leave now. I will be fine.
Ge Nie!
Your Highness.
Do you want to take the medicine to help calm the anxiety?
Reporting.
The two assassins were both killed. We searched the entire palace but we didn't find any others.
Congratulations to Your Majesty. The propitious sign protected you with your abundance of fortune from the attack of the crisis.
Propitious sign?
You wanted to show me the propitious sign and organized this prayer ceremony.
All those are to assassinate me.
- Emperor! - What the great luck?!
What song singing. It is all part of your plan.
I have been wronged. My Majesty, I really wanted to bring the propitious sign to you!
You wanted to assassinate me.
I will let you see now
who will die faster.
Come! Drag him out, mince him to pieces and feed him to the dogs!
-Yes! -Your Majesty, I am fully loyal, the heavens can be my witness!
Your Majesty! I am innocent, Your Majesty!
I am innocent! The heavens can be my witness!
Your Highness.
Isn't there the medicine to calm the anxiety?
What are you waiting for?
I have it, Your Highness.
You, move aside.
Open it.
I don't know. I didn't see anything.
Move aside.
Yue Er.
Yue Er, you are awake.
Yue Er! Don't you know me?
I'm Tian Ming. Yue Er!
Yue Er, I'm Tian Ming!
Yue Er, what's wrong with you?
Don't scare me, Yue Er. Stop the carriage now.
Yue Er, what's wrong with you?
- What's wrong? - I don't know.
She suddenly woke up and wanted to kill me.
Then she grabbed her head and fainted!
Sister Rong, what's wrong with Yue Er?
She just fainted.
I cannot diagnose her properly here.
Let's go back first. Once we go back, I can diagnose her properly.
Okay.
-I want to see the prince. -He is in the palace, he cannot meet you.
This is the message he sent someone to send from the palace. He especially ordered that it must be given to you.
Originally, everything was going as planned.
Who knew, that everything changed within an instant?
So how?
She is not sick, poisoned or hurt.
There is nothing wrong with her
but there must be a problem.
- Where is the problem then? - Keep quiet. Let me think.
But Yue Er is still in a coma.
How did I fall asleep?
Why aren't Teacher and the rest back yet?
That's right. Why aren't they back yet?
You are finally back. Come in now.
Come in now.
Where are Xiao Gao and Xue Nu?
My Lord. His Highness has instructed
Zhong Che Chief has cared for him here the entire night. You should return to get some rest.
Leave now.
Your Highness, please take care of your health. I'm leaving first.
Thankfully Lu Sheng was quick
to be the first to mention the fortune praying ceremony.
If not, the one who died could be me.
Who exactly is this Gao Jianli?
Why did he suddenly jump out to be an assassin?
Where is Gao Yue?
I was just about to report to you.
Gao Yue...
was taken away during the ceremony.
I see.
That Mohist family really threw everything out there.
Two lives were exchanged for Gao Yue.
This is not right.
What is that Moon Goddess doing?
Hasn't she been keeping an eye on Gao Yue?
She has personally told me that she released Gao Yue.
I have already thrown her in prison for you to punish.
My Lord, she is conscious now.
My Lord,
if you continue to beat her, i'm afraid she will...
Why did you betray me?
You despicable person.
You are just like your younger sister. I gave you face but you didn't want it.
What are you looking at?
You are not happy that I scolded your younger sister, right
You are really a good older sister.
It's just a shame that you, the older sister, caused your little sister Bi Hua to die!
Until now, your hands are still covered with her blood!
No.
I didn't. You are talking nonsense!
Originally if you didn't desire her holy goddess position,
and taught and persuaded her, how could she have become a traitor?
Not only did you caused the death of your younger sister, Pi Hua,
you even harmed her daughter.
Did you not personally pierce her body with these needles?
Don't say anymore.
Because of you,
Bi Hua's only daughter doesn't have long to live in this world.
You tortured her so much she wasn't even human.
In the end, she would go crazy and die from being unable to suffer the pain.
Say, if Bi Hua knew from the depths below,
would she come and find you?
I'm begging you, don't say anymore!
Don't say anymore!
Lock her in Bi Hua's underground chamber.
Let the two sisters have a long time to chat every day and night.
Yes.
No!
Don't leave me.
I'm begging you, please let me live.
Let me out.
Think about the past. Did you let Shao Si Ming live?
No!
Let me out!
That female assassin is the Alchemist Academy's holy woman Yu Nu.
She sneaked into the fortune praying ceremony.
Currently, we haven't found out her origin.
Also, after the ceremony, the holy woman...
What's happened?
She has gone missing.
The Alchemist Academy, ever since they brought the holy woman, has ill intentions.
It's a conspiracy. Everything is a conspiracy.
If I was not always being careful,
I would have fallen to conspirators long ago!
Send my word! Everyone in the Alchemist Academy is to be killed!
Father Emperor, please don't be angry. Please think twice about this.
I am pulling up trouble from it's roots! What's there to think about?
The assassin came from the academy, but that doesn't mean everyone in the academy is an accomplice!
If we kill them all, it'll be inhumane!
Our Great Qin respects the legal codes,
not your useless humane considerations.
Our laws state that if one person commits a crime, all their family, colleagues, and people who have to do with them will be punished as well!
I am only punishing the academy! Isn't that already being gracious?
Qin legal codes were developed during the time of war.
Implementing the strict penal codes was a measure out of necessity.
However it's a peaceful time now. The cruel penal codes are no longer appropriate for the circumstances today.
Ridiculous!
Qin penal codes are the foundation of our empire.
It cannot tolerate your criticism here.
Men!
-Here! -Take him back to his residence.
He is to reflect on himself for thirty days!
- Yes. - Father Emperor.
Father Emperor, practicing the cruel penal system will lose the love of your people.
If you lose the people, you lose the world!
How dare you?
You...
Are you cursing me saying my kingdom is going to be lost?
Don't think that you can do whatever you want because you are the eldest prince!
Come! I want to pass an edict!
This unfilial son is to become a commoner!
Your Highness, please think twice.
Your Majesty, please be calm. You cannot do that!
Your Majesty, the prince is still young. Even if his words and actions are improper,
you can just teach him slowly!
Your Highness, please think twice.
Fu Su
demonstrated disorderly conduct in the palace, and criticized the Qin penal system.
Your crime originally could not be pardoned.
But since you do have some merit.
You are exiled to Shang Jun to supervise the construction of the Straight Path.
If you are not summoned,
you can never return to the capital!
Take him away.
Father Emperor!
Your Highness, please think twice.
-If anyone else dares to protect him, -Emperor Father!
You will be punished in the same way!
The Mohists were able to enter the palace and take away someone.
There is definitely a spy among us.
Should we find a way to flush him out?
Didn't His Highness just punish this person?
This... how could it be him?
We may have lost the Jade Scepter, but
Sir Fu Hai has finally reached the day to rise to the top.
You lose some,
and gain some other.
Wait here for me.
Mr Gao is a true hero.
To fulfill his promise to me,
he didn't even bring his personal weapon when he entered the palace.
Based on his skills, if he wanted to be an assassin,
he had multiple chances.
But in the end he still...
And also, Xue Nu,
she clearly could have escaped.
But she wasn't willing to live alone and gave up her life to help.
It is rare to see people like them these days!
Yet I still continuously suspected them!
I really am despicable!
Sir, how can you say that?
You took tremendous risk to rescue Gao Yue.
The Mohist family owes a lot to you.
You were implicated but did not blame others.
You have done me a grand favor.
I could not pay back what you sacrificed for us.
If you have any need in Shang Jun in the future,
I and the Mohist family,
no matter what it is,
we will still help you.
I am fortunate to know you and the Mohist family.
I have no regret in this life.
