Episode 35
Once we take down Changan,
Sir Wang will be a crown prince.
Yes. When that time comes, you must put in good words for us before Minister Wang.
Of course I will. But it's too early to get excited.
Report! Your Excellency, we've caught a spy.
What? Bring the spy in!
Yes!
Mengyao?
Sir Wang, you recognize her?
She's a maid in my manor.
So she's one of us.
Who's your maid?
How can you say that? So disrespectful!
Didn't I tell you to take care of Madam? Why did you come out here?
When things are over, I'll give you a title when I come back. (Means he'll marry her officially)
Who wants a title from you? I'm telling you, I'm here because of—
How dare you! Stop running your mouth and being disrespectful!
Your Excellency, the maids in your manor sure are bold unlike others.
So that's why. Sir Wang, it's okay.
Your Excellency is young and promising, distinguished and elegant.
Naturally, you must have a woman by your side.
I understand. I understand.
Could you two leave for a bit?
I want to be alone with her for a bit.
I understand.
I will take my leave.
Sir Wang, it's getting late.
I know.
Come here. I need to talk to you.
No!
I don't think I'll ever have anything to say to a traitor like you.
Don't say anything anymore. If we want to make it out of here alive, just listen to my plan.
No! I don't want to listen to you?
Why do I have to listen to you?
General Sun, do you find that maid suspicious?
She is a bit suspicious. His Excellency seems kind of fishy as well.
Yes. If we don't dispatch the troops now, we won't make it in time.
What should we do?
Get out!
Yes.
Let go!
- You really bit me! - Of course I did.
Not only do I want to bite you, I want to kill all of you traitors!
Mengyao, you still don't understand what I'm doing?
I don't understand and don't want to understand.
Don't think that I wouldn't know what shady business you and your father are doing!
Let me ask you something, do you still trust me?
I don't! I won't trust you ever again!
I'll tell His Majesty what all you traitors are doing one day! I will—
- Have Yuanfang and the others entered the city? - Not yet.
What's going on? Have someone look into it.
Yes.
Your Majesty, there really is a female corpse at the bottom of the pond.
- Hurry and bring it up. - Yes.
Di Renjie, how did you know Xiao Zhao's corpse was in this pond?
Please go over there.
A lion statue is missing here.
Normally, if a corpse is in water, it will float up after a few hours.
Only in one situation would a body stay under water.
And that's when it's tied to a heavy object.
Your Majesty, we've brought the corpse up.
But I still don't understand.
Why did Suo Lang kill Xiao Zhao?
Because Suo Lang and Xiao Zhao had an affair.
No way. Consort Li has always kept the inner palace in good order.
This kind of thing has never happened before.
Consort Li, what do you think?
This has nothing to do with Consort Li.
Suo Lang killed her in a moment of anger.
Wrong! The truth isn't like that.
Suo Lang killed XIao Zhao because she saw something she shouldn't have.
Oh?
That night, Suo Lang didn't come here himself.
There was someone else with him.
Di Renjie! Think carefully before speaking!
You must know what happens if you just run your mouth!
Di Renjie, tell me. Who was that person?
That person was Concubine Xu.
Concubine Xu, what's this all about?
Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on.
Di Renjie is framing me! There was nothing between me and Suo Lang!
Concubine Xu, I didn't say there was anything between you and Suo Lang.
You confessed it yourself.
Your Majesty, I'm really being framed! You have to believe me.
I'm throwing caution to the wind today.
Your Majesty, Concubine Xu and imperial guard general Suo Lang have had an affair for a while.
Please investigate it, Your Majesty.
Di Renjie, how dare you run your mouth and look down on the law!
Guard! Come and arrest him!
Wait.
Minister Wang and Concubine Xu are neither relatives nor friends.
Why are you so flustered and taking her side?
Is there a secret that can't be told?
Nonsense! Arrest both of them!
Hold it!
I know.
Okay, tell me your evidence.
Of course I have evidence.
Di Renjie, don't deceive others with your lies.
You and Di Zhixun were staging a rebellion. The evidence is undeniable.
If His Majesty wasn't merciful, you'd be dead already!
Now you're here framing Concubine Xu.
I implore Your Majesty to punish Di Renjie with death.
Minister Wang, please rise. You must not get angry over this matter.
This matter concerns national prestige and my own honor.
Di Renjie, give me your evidence.
Or I want your head.
Yes. Your Majesty, please take a look.
When Suo Lang died, what was he wearing?
What's wrong with his clothes?
Per the law, Suo Lang is allowed to freely roam the palace as the leader of the imperial guards.
He should be wearing armor.
But he wore a changshan here.
Your Majesty, don't you think it's strange?
In this situation, there's only one possibility.
He wore a changshan here to see someone he's familiar with.
It's someone he's familiar with and has a special relationship with.
Because this way, it's easier for him to move around.
Even if he's here to see someone he's familiar with, what does that have to do with Concubine Xu?
What proof do you have?
This is the proof.
A jade pendant?
I found it on Suo Lang.
Concubine Xu, do you recognize it?
Your Majesty, I've never seen it before.
Your Highness, did you know that the word "Jie" is etched on this pendant?
Jie? Shu Jie.
Concubine Xu, isn't that the name I gave you when I conferred a title upon you?
Di Renjie, oh Di Renjie. You think too highly of your intellect.
Shu Jie is the name that His Majesty gave Concubine Xu,
but there are many women in the world with the word "Jie" in their name.
How do you know that the "Jie" refers to Concubine Xu?
Your Majesty, are there are other concubines or maids in the palace who have "Jie" in their name?
How am I supposed to remember that?
Consort Li, do you know?
- I— - I can see that Consort Li is grieving and heartbroken after seeing Xiao Zhao murdered.
Thus, it has led to symptoms of aphasia.
Everyone, do you know whom the "Jie" etched on Suo Lang's pendant refers to?
Who does it refer to?
Suo Lang's mother's maiden name is Liu Xiujie. She is from Hedong.
Suo Lang is a filial son.
After his mother died, he etched the word "Jie" on that jade pendant.
He has been holding memorial services for his mother since then.
It is completely different from what Di Renjie said.
Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you can call the Ministry of Revenue over here.
You will know after you ask him.
Okay, summon Minister Qian.
Yes.
Your Excellency, we're almost at Changan.
Great.
Sir Wang, what should we do after we enter the city?
Follow my plan. We must not act blindly before we get to the palace.
Yes.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
- Minister Qian, please rise. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
Do you remember Suo Lang's mother's name?
Suo Lang's mother's maiden name is Liu Xiujie.
She died two years ago from a cold.
Di Renjie, now what do you have to say?
Your Majesty, something is fishy.
Please give me a little more time. I'll definitely get to the bottom of this.
Your Majesty, you must not just leave Di Renjie be.
If he continues to run amok, deceiving people with his lies, and framing others,
where would our country's law be? Where would Your Majesty's dignity be?
I implore Your Majesty to imprison Di Renjie with Di Zhixu
and have the Ministry of Justice hear the case.
Your Majesty, there's also the matter of Consort Li.
How dare you, Di Renjie!
Your trespassing into Consort Li's residence is a crime punishable by death!
Now that you were unsuccessful in framing Concubine Xu,
you're trying to frame Consort Li, which is adding to your crime!
I implore Your Majesty to punish Di Renjie with death.
Please consider it, Your Majesty!
Guards, imprison Di Renjie and Li Wanqing to await for their sentence.
Yes.
Take them away!
The storm has passed.
You all know what to say and do as we leave here.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Sir Wang, what is this?
Why did you bring the northwest army to the capital?
General Zhang, the northwest army has been defending Gansu for ten years.
Do you have a royal badge or His Majesty's decree?
I am under His Majesty's orders. Here is the royal badge.
General Zhang, please open the city gates quickly.
I will follow your order.
Open the gates.
Meiniang, you risked your life again to save me.
How am I supposed to repay you in this lifetime?
Your Majesty, my life is yours.
As long as you're safe, even if I have to die thousands of times—
Hey! What do you mean die thousands of times?
Your Majesty, I'm begging you not to kill Di Renjie.
He definitely wouldn't stage a mutiny.
Trust what I say.
Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor is requesting an audience.
He is already waiting for you in the imperial study.
Meiniang, don't think about those things.
I just want you to rest and recover.
I just want you to stay by my side forever.
Okay, I promise you that I won't kill Di Renjie.
I will make a decision regarding this after everything is clear.
You must recover.
Mingyue, take good care of Her Highness.
Although the arrow wound isn't deep,
healing will be slow because there was poison on the arrow.
Convey my decree. No one is allowed to disturb Her Highness's rest.
Also, have two imperial physicians enter Cuiwui Residence so they can check on her condition constantly.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will be back soon.
I greet Your Majesty.
Grand Tutor, come. Hurry and rise.
- Come. Give him a seat. - Yes.
Grand Tutor, here.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Why have you suddenly come to the capital?
Have you gotten tired of Iris Valley?
I heard that Di Zhixun and his son got into trouble, so I rushed over here.
May I ask where they are right now?
In prison.
Why did that happen?
Grand Tutor, you wouldn't know.
Di Zhixun formed alliances for personal gain, went against his superior, and planned a rebellion.
Your Majesty, that's absolutely impossible!
The evidence is undeniable.
Take a look yourself.
In these letters, Di Zhixun gave towns in the east and south secret orders to station troops.
There are definite times and plans for the mutiny as well as details for what each person should do.
It seems that they've been secretly plotting for a long time.
Your Majesty, where did you get these secret orders?
Minister Wang Youren's underling intercepted it at a horse relay station.
Your Majesty, how can you only listen to his side of the story
and conclude that Di Zhixun and his son were plotting a rebellion?
Your Majesty, you are being muddle-headed.
The proof is definite; it is irrefutable.
How can I not believe it?
- This— - Am I being muddle-headed or are you?
I've been so gracious to and I've doted on Di Zhixun and his son.
But they used this to paralyze me.
I keep hearing lies and they keep committing crimes!
I almost lost my throne and my life!
Your Majesty, listen to me.
Di Zhixun and his son are absolutely not people who would stage a mutiny.
Your Majesty, someone is requesting to see you.
Her Highness is already in this state from her injury, yet you came to notify her of that?
His Majesty ordererd that she isn't to see anyone, no matter who it was.
She says she's here to see Her Highness because of Di Renjie's situation.
Her Highness would definitely want to see her. That's why I'm notifying her.
Even so, you shouldn't have. Her Highness was severely injured and it's not easy for her to see guests.
Let her come in.
Your Highness, you're already in this state.
Alright, let her come in.
Yes.
I, Du Jingqiu, greet Your Highness.
Du Jingqiu?
Yes. My grandfather is Grand Tutor Du Ke.
My father is Du Mingyi, one of the capital's four great heroes back then.
So you're Grand Tutor Du's granddaughter.
You said you're here to see me because of Di Renjie's situation?
Yes.
Mingyue, you may leave.
Without my orders, no one can come in.
Your Highness, your injury—
Leave.
Yes.
Your Majesty, from what I see, this secret order was forged.
Di Zhixun and his son are being framed.
This is very likely Wang Youren's conspiracy.
But this is clearly Di Zhixun's handwriting!
Your Highness, both Di Zhixun and Wang Youren were my students.
I know them both better than anyone else.
When it comes to literary talent, Di Zhixun can claim to be number one.
But when it comes to copying calligraphy,
if Wang Youren claimed to be number two, no one would be able to claim to be number one.
Although the calligraphy on this letter of secret orders has been copied so well,
there are still loopholes.
- What loopholes? - The wording.
Di Zhixun is a great scholar.
His words are very exquisite, and he's great at quoting literary works.
But this letter is written very bluntly.
It is not his style at all.
He's plotting a rebellion! What does his style matter?
Grand Tutor, you're already retired and have stopped attending to royal court matters.
I suggest that you not persist in your view.
You might draw criticism from everyone and stir up trouble.
I'm afraid you'll be powerless to defend yourself.
Your Majesty, it's not a pity if I die.
Your Majesty, on my way here, I saw Yuanfang with the northwest army.
They're coming to Changan.
Do you know about that, Your Majesty?
Of course I know about it.
The northwest army came to the capital under my command.
Why? The northwest army has 3000 people.
If they come into Changan and stage a mutiny,
what could happen is too horrifying to even think about.
Your Majesty, Wang Youren is wildly ambitious.
Why can't you see that, Your Majesty?
Grand Tutor, you're making a big fuss over nothing.
The northwest army has been stationed at Longnan, Gansu and the borderland for years suffering hardships.
As for Wang Youren, let's not even talk about how he's been loyal to the royal court all these years.
Let's just talk about how he's my father-in-law.
He can't just ignore his daughter's feelings!
Your Majesty, I know that you won't accept anything I say right now.
Let's back up a bit. If the northwest army enters Changan,
and someone uses them to stage a mutiny, then—
Even if they stage a mutiny, I still have 30,000 imperial guards who can crush them whenever!
Liu Meng is simple-minded and not shrewd.
Furthermore, he's still inexperienced.
How can he carry the heavy responsibility of leading the imperial guards?
Grand Tutor, it seems you really have aged.
You keep nagging nonstop.
Since you have come to the capital, you should get some rest.
I've already ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a welcome feast for you.
Grand Tutor, enjoy it.
Your Majesty!
I never would have thought that we'd reunite in prison.
Father, don't worry.
I will think of a way to take you out of here.
Take me out of here?
You're in prison right now, same as me.
How are you going to take me out of here?
I'm sorry to you. I'm sorry.
Father, don't say that.
It's my fault. I couldn't prove your innocence.
This all started because of me.
After being silent for 20 years, I should've known my place.
Now that I think about it,
living quietly in Bingzhou is really great.
That year, your mother tried to persuade me to not come to the capital to become an official.
I never would have thought that I'd end up like this.
How will I face your mother in heaven?
Father, don't be like this.
Mother will protect us from heaven.
Besides, we're not at the end yet.
We don't know how things will end up.
Furthermore, it's not just one person keeping you company today.
Miss Wanqing, thank you for staying by Huaiying's side.
We really shouldn't have dragged you into this matter too.
If Sir Di didn't help me back then,
I would have died at Ganye Temple long ago.
I know you are a good person.
I understand the pain in your heart.
Child, remember my words.
If we make it out of here alive, you must live well.
Huaiying.
How's the progress on Suo Lang's case?
From what I can deduce,
Suo Lang was meeting with Concubine Xu secretly that day.
Consort Li and Xiao Zhao saw them.
You! You two!
How can you do something so improper?! I will report this to His Majesty right now.
Consort Li has always been very strict in managing the inner palace.
How could she tolerate such improper behavior?
To protect himself, Suo Lang killed Consort Li and Xiao Zhao.
Let go of me.
- Let go of me. - Don't be scared. Everything will be okay. Don't worry.
Don't be scared.
Don't worry. No one else will know about this.
Trust me.
Suo Lang is so rude and impetuous.
If this matter is revealed, I could be implicated.
Why don't I...
Very soon, Wang Youren found out about this matter from his spy.
So that His Majesty wouldn't know about this,
he had someone mask herself and pretend to be Consort Li.
At the same time, Wang Youren and Concubine Xu made a deal.
As long as Concubine Xu doesn't expose what happened to Consort Li,
he will hide the truth behind Suo Lang's death.
I found Concubine Xu's jade pendant on Suo Lang.
I never would've thought that Wang Youren had colluded with Minister Qian of the Ministry of Revenue.
Soon after, Wang Youren ordered Concubine Xu to invite the Goryeo troupe to assassinate His Majesty.
So I deduce that there's a big conspiracy behind Wang Youren.
Father, I am incapable. I couldn't find definitive proof
to prove what kind of conspiracy is behind Wang Youren.
Even if that's the case, I wonder what the situation is in the palace right now.
- Greetings, Your Highness. - You may rise.
- What is it? - Your Highness, you can't go inside.
- Why? - Minister Wang ordered that no one can see Di Zhixun and his son.
I'm here to give Di Zhixun and his son food under Consort Li's orders.
Your Highness, please go back.
If you want to live, pretend you didn't see anything.
This...
Yes. Yes.
Your Highness, please go ahead.
Your Highness, this is?
She is my personal maid, Qiuxiang.
Why is her face...
She recently contracted measles. It's not suitable for her to take off her veil.
Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me.
It's okay, Your Highness.
Your Highness, please go inside.
Your performance today has greatly disappointed me!
You almost messed up everything for me!
Your Excellency, why did you have to kill Moni?
If he didn't die, we would be dead!
But since Moni died, my heart is a mess.
We had agreed to go back to Goryeo together.
He's already dead. There's no need to keep thinking about him.
Just think about your own situation!
Your Excellency! Your Excellency!
Please let me go.
I don't want to pretend anymore.
Without Moni... Without Moni, I can't bear it anymore.
Your Excellency, I'm begging you. I'm begging you to let me go.
Please let me go!
Fine! I'll grant you your wish.
Your Excellency, spare me!
Fine. I'll spare you.
Don't forget that I still have your parents in my hands.
If you want to return to Goryeo safely,
you must continue this act!
Your Excellency, the northwest army that Sir Wang Yuanfang is leading has arrived at Xuanwu Gate.
Good. Everything is within grasp.
Now I have to go to the prison to send them off!
Open the door.
Come on.
Your Highness.
- You all may leave. - Yes
Your Highness.
- Hurry inside. - Hurry and sit down.
Your Highness, how is your injury?
It's just a small injury; it's not important. You all have suffered.
Your Highness, I am extremely grateful you have come to see us.
Minister Di, you're a loyal official, yet you're in prison right now.
It is my fault for being useless.
A villain plotted against me and I've implicated you all.
Yuanfang is about to come into the capital with the northwest army.
So soon?
I reckon they will be in the palace soon.
Your Highness, hurry and have someone notify General Liu Meng
so that the imperial guards can defend against them.
It's too late.
This afternoon, Liu Meng brought 10,000 men with him outside the capital.
He said they were going for training.
Could Wang Youren and Liu Meng be colluding together?
The northwest army has been defending the borders for years.
They're brave and good at fighting.
If they come into the palace, His Majesty will be in danger.
That's why we have to come up with a plan to stop Wang Youren's conspiracy.
Then we'll have to think of a way out of here.
I came to take you out of here.
See who this is.
Sister Jingqiu.
I'll go have them open the entrance into the palace. You guys wait here.
- On my command, you'll charge your way in. - Yes.
- Open the city gate! - Yes.
Come! Open the city gate.
Follow me.
That's not good.
Oh no! We've fallen into a trap.
General Yuan!
Kill!
- Your Excellency. - Did anyone come here?
No, Your Excellency.
How dare you lie to me!
Your Excellency, spare me!
Die!
- Open the door! - Your Excellency, spare me!
Du Jingqiu.
Minister Wang, I trust you've been well since we've last met.
Where is Di Renjie?
He was still here just now. How come—
Minister Wang, you are vicious and show no mercy.
I am in awe.
Di Zhixun, you're already on the verge of death!
Do all these people really have to die with you?
I suggest you put down the sword.
You won't be able to win this battle.
What a joke!
The northwest army is already in Changan.
The throne will be mine soon!
Wishful thinking.
Your intentions were wrong.
Even if you become king, you won't end well!
Stop with your nonsense! Catch them all!
Wanqing!
Hurry and leave! I'll cover for you!
No one can leave!
Brother Di, oh Brother Di.
In the end, I am still the victor in the battle between us.
Minister Wang, haven't you heard that the one who has the last laugh is the real winner?
Your Excellency, something bad has happened.
What are you panicking about?
The northwest army was ambushed by Liu Meng's imperial guards outside the city.
How is that possible? How many casualties?
I do not know. Both sides are fighting right now.
- What about Yuanfang? - He's been captured.
What?
Take them all away!
- Take them! - Go!
Go!
- Where is His Majesty right now? - I don't know.
Okay. I'll leave this to you. You have to hold them back.
I will follow your orders.
Mengyao, let's go.
Get ready.
Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty, something big has happened. - Hurry and tell me.
The northwest army have started a coup. They will charge their way into the palace soon.
That's not possible. That's not possible.
General Liu! Where is General Liu?
General Liu is currently leading men to fight. There are many imperial guard casualties.
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
- Hurry and send people to the Inner Palace to protect Meiniang. - Yes.
- You all protect His Majesty. - Yes.
You go catch Li Zhi. I'll take care of things here.
Okay. Brothers, hurry here!
Kill!
Li Zhi, hurry and surrender yourself so I don't have to do anything!
Otherwise, be careful, for the sword does not have eyes!
Sun Gang, I've always treated the northwest army well!
How dare you treat me this way!
Pei (spitting sound)! What do you mean "well?"
Funds and provisions for the northwest army decrease every year!
You dare to say that you treat us well?
We leave our families to guard the borders!
We give our lives for an incapable ruler like you!
Do you think we're fools?
How is that possible? I clearly...
Xuanwu Gate
Minister Wang.
Wang Youren?
I never would have thought
that it would be you!
Li Zhi, the Li family has sit on the throne for so long.
Aren't you tired of it?
So I really was wrong about Di Zhixun and his son.
I'm getting what I deserve.
Don't be sad.
Just reflect in the underworld!
Wang Youren!
In public, I am your emperor.
In private, I am your son-in-law.
How dare you do this?
