Episode 40
Kid, you always make others worried!
It hasn't been long since you came back, look what a mess you've caused!
I'm sorry to keep you worried, Shishu.
Since you need to hide,
Why didn't you come here earlier?
We've troubled you for so many times.
Don't wanna drag you down.
What nonsense is that?
I'm so old now.
What's to fear?
All right,
You guys will live here.
I'm here. Will keep you safe.
As for her majesty,
I believe she's just lost her temper for a while.
I'll persuade her later.
Then she'll no longer be angry.
In fact,
There is another thing,
that I want you to help with.
You're sure that they've got inside?
Yes, I'm sure.
Has her majesty be informed?
Yes.
Very good.
Stop.
Go ahead.
Lord Qiushan
Why did you come here
with so many people?
As commanded by her majesty,
I'm here to arrest the felon, Chen Changsheng.
Father Xin,
I don't think you'll stop me doing that.
Chen Changsheng and the others haven't been here.
I'm afraid your march here will be wasted.
He's not here?
Father Xin,
Are you hiding something from me?
You must be kidding.
Fine.
In this case,
Father Xin,
I think you won't mind me searching this place.
Search!
Yes!
How dare you!
You don't take the Li-gong Palace seriously.
What about his holiness?
Search!
Yes!
My lord, here is a secret door!
Chase!
Yes!
Let's go!
Hurry
You almost got me, Father Xin.
Clear. Let's go.
Where else are you running to?
Yourong
You're done helping him.
It's time to let it go.
I won't.
Why?
Why can't you get it?
In my entire life,
I only have you in my heart.
Your entire life?
Only her in your heart?
That woman in your heart,
Who is she?
Kill her.
Yourong!
Stop!
What are you doing?!
You want to hand them over to the human empress?
Of course we should kill them.
Once they die,
No one will know your real identity.
But I don't allow you to hurt Yourong.
What,
Can't bear that?
Well, how could you bear it when it comes to Guan Feibai and Gou Hanshi?
Enough!
Don't bring them up.
If it not were you,
How would they die?
The empress will come soon.
You better leave.
No big deal.
Shifu just gave me a magical item
to handle master-hands at the Immortal-like Stage.
Besides, you're here to help me.
You don't even know how powerful the empress is.
We can't nail her!
Besides, maybe the Pope will come with her.
Leave now!
How could the Pope stay by her side?
If the empress comes,
The Pope will definitely keep her company.
You don't know that?
I mean,
The Pope
is obviously by my side.
Your holiness?
Princess Luoluo?
So I've entered a psychedelic space.
You cheated me.
Hanshi
is he dead?
Cultivated together for so many years,
How could you do that?
Seems that it won't help anything whatever I'll say.
Yes.
Hanshi and Guan Feibai died
It's all my fault.
A crime I can't get away with for this lifetime.
Hanshi!
Qiushan!
If you didn't fall in love with Chen Changsheng,
I wouldn't become so jealous
that Nanke's demon seed took me.
Nor would I commit such felonies.
How could a man blame a girl for all his mistakes?
Qiushan,
You're too stubborn,
all this time.
Don't you know you'll get rid of it
if you let it go earlier?
But this time, I believe
Qiushan Jun can get rid of it finally.
Chen Changsheng
I didn't expect that you would set me up
while I made so much effort to arrest you.
Destiny does make fools of people.
Don't blame Changsheng.
So many loopholes,
But you didn't see through any.
It only shows,
You've had affection to the demon clan.
No!
You know that,
No matter what happens in this lifetime,
I only have you in my heart.
Bad news!
Bad news
Her majesty is here.
Your majesty
Presence of Your majesty, bestowed blessing to all of us
Your majesty
Where is Chen Changsheng?
Chen Changsheng left
after he revealed Qiushan Jun's real identity as a demon spy.
You mean,
Qiushan is a demon spy?
Where is he?
Qiushan, tell me,
Are you really a demon spy?
I was invaded by the demon intent.
I've lost myself
and failed your majesty's trust.
Should be sentenced to death.
Death?
Even you died for ten thousand times,
It won't help anything.
You're a hero of our human clan.
But you've become a demon spy?
How hilarious is that!
Take him away
Watch him over! Yes!
Ease anger, your majesty.
Qiushan Jun was compelled by Black Robe back in Zhou Garden.
We underestimated the demon clan,
failed to remove his demon intent earlier.
So a good kid degenerates like this.
It's a loss to our human clan.
Isn't it?
But,
Even Qiushan is a demon spy,
Can't change Chen Changsheng's crime of
disobeying my order and escaping secretly.
After all, you're mother and son.
Even there is a disagreement,
Why can't you sit down and talk it through?
Although I don't know why Changsheng
rejects your majesty's goodwill,
I'm confident that I can persuade him
to come back to your majesty.
Hope so.
Shifu
What if her majesty finds us?
Your highness, don't worry
Even if we're found by her majesty,
For our emperor's sake,
She won't make it hard for your highness.
Qiushan Jun is a demon spy.
The fact must be a big blow to her.
On this aspect,
I feel the same way.
Changsheng
Shifu, are you okay?
Don't worry,
I just got a minor injury.
Here
Even if we survived this,
If I don't give her the star map,
We will still be in danger.
The power of her majesty...
We're not her rival.
You woke up?
Come, drink some water.
Here
Slow down. Don't choke yourself.
Be careful. Lay down still. Thank you, Mrs.
Don't move.
You need to lay down for at least three months to heal the wounds!
Lucky that I'm still alive.
Gotta go back to Sacred Capital.
Look,
I told you, don't move.
Look,
You wounds will burst again.
I told you, don't move.
If you don't listen, No meals for you.
Don't move.
Isn't this Qiushan Jun?
Why does he end up like this? Qiushan Jun
Colluded with demons; unforgivable crime
Her majesty's order,
Put him into jail to wait for the trial.
You liar!
Qiushan Jun is our human clan's hero.
Not a demon spy!
You're the bad guy!
Go away.
Qiushan Jun
You're not a spy.
You're a hero, right?
You're not a spy.
You're a good guy.
Qiushan Jun! Qiushan Jun!
Stop.
Her majesty's order, Put Qiushan Jun into jail.
[ Imperial Jail of Sacred Capital ]
Nanke, you...
Your condition
is worse than what I expected.
If don't cure it in time,
I'm afraid...
Thank you, Shishu.
Actually, being able to get here,
is also out of my expectation.
To cure your illness, there is a way.
Only the doer can undo what he's done.
Your illness comes from the Astrolabe Formation.
If you want to cure it for good,
You must find a way from the formation.
Shishu, you mean...
Have you ever thought to start from the star map
to find the cure?
I've tried.
But failed.
Although you failed,
It doesn't mean this way of thinking is wrong.
Maybe someone
can use the star map to find your cure.
Do you mean her majesty?
Yes.
Her majesty should be that capable.
Besides...
I won't give the star map to her majesty.
Why?
Yourong told me,
During the period her majesty runs the formation,
Her sanity is gradually grabbed by the latter.
She's become more and more irritable and cruel.
Power of the star map is too powerful.
Can't be controlled.
If it falls into her majesty's hands,
I'm afraid she'll lose all her sanity.
Her majesty's being abnormal,
I've also become aware of that lately.
Shishu, in your opinion,
What should I do
to prevent her majesty being influenced by the formation?
to get her back on the right track? Depends on your apprehension of the formation and the star map.
If you can improve the formation,
make it more stable and perfect,
unable to influence the operator's sanity.
Then her majesty's problem will be solved.
Improve the formation?
Yes.
It's very hard.
If anyone else in this word can make it,
Except the deceased Zhou Dufu,
It must be you only.
Zhou Dufu probably is still alive.
What did you say?
When Yourong and I were in the tomb,
We didn't find his dead body.
The coffin is empty.
But on this continent,
I can't sense his presence.
Has he
gone to somewhere beyond this continent?
If that's true,
Beyond this continent,
Is there any way to change my destiny?
Don't think about
things out of reach.
Since you were born,
your destiny has been tied up to the Astrolabe Formation.
If no accidents,
the formation is just like the world,
both will be controlled by you in the future.
Think more about
how to control the formation completely.
The world?
Your majesty,
I've searched every corner,
failed to find Qiushan Jun and Nanke.
I'm afraid they've escaped from Sacred Capital.
I'm gonna order people to hunt them down in the direction of demons.
-Once there is a trace, I will... -Tell me,
Why
did Qiushan betray me?
Your majesty have been lenient and merciful to Qiushan Jun.
Qiushan Jun has also been loyal to your majesty.
I...
Didn't expect that he would betray your majesty.
Are you pleading for him?
I dare not.
I just tell the truth.
If gotta find a reason for that,
It only can be that Qiushan Jun has been in love with Yourong.
But the one Yourong loves is Chen Changsheng.
So Qiushan Jun becomes jealous.
And his faith shatters.
Then demons take advantage of that.
Lost in love?
How many heroes and talents
in this world have been ruined by the word Love?
I will ask more people to hunt down Qiushan Jun.
Once get him...
Try your best to do that.
It's enough if live up to your duty.
Yes.
Leaves no dignity to our Zhou Empire.
Yourong and Changsheng
Which stage are they at now?
I've checked her meridians.
Backfire of her cultivation seems have been removed.
In this case,
Does it mean Yourong can...
Mo Yu
You gotta remember,
Love is like poisonous wine;
goes deep into the bones and spinal cord.
Don't you try it so easily.
I'll bear it in mind, your majesty.
What do you think of Changsheng?
Chen Changsheng
When he first came Sacred Capital,
I thought,
He was humble without self-cultivation.
Couldn't be Yourong's Mr Right.
But now, after so many things,
Whether in terms of mentality or talent,
He's outstanding.
Don't mind my feelings.
Just tell the truth.
I'm telling the truth.
He's careful when handling things.
Also an upright man.
Yourong does have a good taste.
I thought you didn't like him.
Didn't expect you would think highly of him.
Chen Changsheng once risked his life to save Yourong.
His cultivation and wisdom
are not below any young talents'.
Judging from this aspect,
He's much better than Qiushan Jun.
I...
Indeed had prejudice against him.
But,
He has an incurable illness.
I...
Still don't agree Yourong to be with him.
You know he's my long-lost prince.
How dare you say that?
So bold!
Forgive me, your majesty.
I only have you in my heart, not the prince.
Get up.
I'm glad that you can say that.
You've lived up to my years of trust.
Tell me,
If I stand out to cure Changsheng,
What will you say?
I...
Wish you could cure him.
To save him,
I probably have to use the Astrolabe Formation.
I'm not fully confident in that.
Your majesty,
A stable Astrolabe Formation is our empire's foundation.
Your majesty must be cautious when using it.
It's said that,
Changsheng is closely linked with the formation.
But the fact is,
You're more like someone born for the formation.
I know, in your heart,
This great formation is most important.
Back then, my mom died for this formation.
This formation,
is like her incarnation.
Every time I see it,
It's like I can feel the existence of my mom.
So,
I swear to protect it since childhood.
Yes.
Me, too.
Your majesty,
I have another thing to tell your majesty.
Shoot.
There is a mysterious organization named Fushe.
They've hidden in Sacred Capital for many years.
I think we must guard against them.
They're just like rashes.
No need to worry about them.
But...
All right, I know.
You may leave.
Yes.
Astrolabe Formation
As long as you're in my hands,
Who can shake my reign and sovereignty?
Chief, you summoned me in such a hurry.
What can I help you?
A disaster is coming to your Tianhai family.
What you said makes you a scaremonger.
Our Tianhai family is working in the royal court with overwhelming power.
Even her majesty comes from our Tianhai family.
What kind of disaster could befall on us?
Although the great empress is the queen,
Lord Tianhai, don't forget,
It's Zhou Empire after all.
The then emperor's surname is Chen.
Chief, what did you mean by that?
The meaning is simple.
In people's eye,
The Chens have the most noble blood in this world.
So,
Once the long-lost prince comes back to the great empress,
What do you think will happen to
your Tianhai family's prospect?
You mean, Chen Changsheng?
Yes, him.
He's just an escaped prisoner.
Why should I worry about him?
Do you know that
the Pope has guaranteed to the great empress?
He'll make Chen Changsheng back to her side.
In another word,
Sooner or later,
Chen Changsheng will regain the prince title.
He has no backers.
Even if the Pope supports him,
What could he change?
Besides.
Her majesty has been suppressing descendants of the Chens.
How could she possibly let a Chen
succeed to the throne?
You think the empress will pass the throne on
to your Tianhai family?
Daydreaming!
You really think the empress knows nothing about
the dirty deals you've made over these years?
If your surname is not Tianhai,
I'm afraid your family have already been eliminated.
Our Tianhai family always conduct above board.
How could her majesty target at us with no reason?
Above board?
Let it be called above board.
Even if the empress
could let go of your deeds above board,
Chen Changsheng still has a ferocious hatred
for your Tianhai family.
If he succeeds to the throne some day,
I don't need to tell you
what will happen next, right?
I don't buy that.
I don't think her majesty
will leave aside our Tianhai family.
But find a Chen descendant to succeed to the throne.
Let alone,
He's Emperor Taizong's son.
Lord Tianhai,
You might as well try it out in person.
See how on earth the empress is thinking about
appointing a successor.
Goodbye.
Appointing a successor?
Yes.
I've heard that demons army are gathering.
Will march southwards soon.
Now in Sacred Capital, people are in a panic.
Wish our royal court could do something
to soothe their feelings.
So I think,
To stabilize our country,
Your majesty, please appoint a crown prince
for the throne, to comfort our people.
To stabilize our country and comfort our people sounds really good!
Appoint a crown prince?
You want Tianhai Ya'er to be the crown prince, don't you?
You're so craving to be father of Zhou Empire's emperor?
I dare not!
But you did.
This empire was earned by his majesty painstakingly.
How should you covet it?
Get lost!
This empire,
is mine.
If I don't wanna give it out,
No one could take it away.
Whoever dares to betray me,
will pay
a huge price.
We've searched everywhere we could search.
Didn't find Gou Hanshi.
Look, Sacred Capital is so small.
Failed to find him till now.
Did Gou Haishi...
Besiege this place!
What are you doing?
Her majesty's order,
Qiushan Jun colludes with demons.
Unforgivable crime.
We're searching Lishan Academy as commanded.
Qijian
Make room.
Let them search!
Search!
Yes!
Father
This is newly made ginseng tea.
Didn't expect
that her majesty would rage
While I just brought up appointment of the crown prince.
So her majesty
never plans to appoint one of our Tianhai family
as the crown prince.
What should we do about that?
When her majesty succeeded to the throne,
Our Tianhai family has spared no effort to help her!
But now?
Kicks down the ladder?!
Her majesty is one of our Tianhai family.
But doesn't think for her own family.
So ungrateful!
But now,
What could we do?
Over these years,
Our Tianhai family has made countless enemies.
If we can't succeed to the throne,
I'm afraid in the end,
We'll lose our family business,
and our lives!
Father,
You mean...
Her majesty's cultivation is overwhelming,
and unshakable.
Without one hundred percent confidence,
Don't make any move.
Well, we can't do nothing, right?
How about,
me going contact people of the Fushe?
Last time,
Chief of the Fushe
obviously wanted to provoke me to rebel.
Although those mysterious guys
have helped us a lot over the past years,
None of us know clearly what they're aiming at deep down.
If not in despair,
don't place our hope on outsiders.
You're right, father.
I didn't consider that.
Well, what should we do next?
Wait.
Wait?
Yes.
Wait.
Lately,
Her majesty becomes very emotional,
fatuous and cruel.
No longer as wise and respectable as she was.
But we just need to escalate her status,
keep her going like this.
It won't be long before
she loses her humanity.
By then,
The golden opportunity for our Tianhai family will come.
Father
Why?
Why you guys all betrayed me?
Because your son took away my beloved girl!
You've told me,
Dragon and phoenix are a perfect match.
But you're partial to Chen Changsheng,
abetted him to take away Yourong!
You cheated me!
That's Yourong's own decision.
Yourong chose Changsheng.
You, out of personal grudges,
betrayed humans, killed your fellow,
framed the prince.
Everyone will kill you for your crimes!
Chen Changsheng comes from nowhere.
How could he be the crown prince?
This empire is Tianhai family's.
How could you give it to Chen royals?!
You betrayed Tianhai family!
Betrayed your surname Tianhai!
Tianhai family?
This empire was earned by me.
This empire is mine!
How much effort have I made to get this empire?
How much wisdom have I spent to protect it?
For this empire,
I've sacrificed my biological son.
Tell me,
Why should it be Tianhai family's? Why?
Isn't it?
This empire
is really yours?
Zhou Dufu?
In order to get this empire, your husband
first sacrificed officials in Lingxu Pavilion,
then killed me.
Couldn't be more shameless!
Your empire,
sinister,
dirty,
despicable,
stained with blood of fellows!
No, that's not true.
That's not true.
My Astrolabe formation, protect me!
Dead.
All dead.
This formation is mine.
With the formation,
So the empire is mine.
No one can betray me.
No one can betray me!
What?
What did you say?
You need more people...
You need more people to be sacrificed?
Of course. No problem.
I can find more damn rebels
and traitors to be sacrificed for you!
As long as you...
As long as you listen to me.
As long as you...
As long as you belong to me.
Listen to me.
You're mine!
You are mine!
Your majesty,
Changing exile into execution,
Not a good idea.
Amnesty has been used since ancient times
to win people's support.
When has punishment been made heavier?
Yes, your majesty.
Leniency should go before stern punishments.
If too many killings,
People's support will falter.
I've decided.
Whoever persuades will be charged with treason!
But your majesty,
I still feel...
Anyone else disagrees?
Dismiss.
Presence of your majesty; a boon to all of us.
Lord Tianhai,
-Lord Tianhai -Lord Zhou
What can I help you?
Lord Tianhai,
Someone submitted a proposal last night,
Said your family smuggled weapons
and hid armors for private usage.
That's nonsense!
Our Tianhai family is rigorous and cautious.
We always conduct fair and square.
Yes.
How could we possibly do that kind of thing?
I knew it was a false accusation.
So,
I ordered people to hold it back secretly.
But their statement seems have a solid evidence.
They said that they got your ledger
of smuggled weapons.
That's venomously slander!
Lord Zhou
Do you know the severity of this matter?
I know.
I know!
Don't worry, Lord,
I'll take care of them and the ledger.
Thank you, lord Zhou.
Later,
It'll be much appreciated.
Lord,
It's not peaceful in the current royal court.
Look,
Her majesty's temper goes like that.
If her majesty knows this matter,
How could you survive it?
Although you're fair and square,
not guilty,
You better look out for
those villains' slander, right?
Take care, Lord.
Permit me to leave first.
You seem a little troubled.
Sorry.
I'm still thinking about what happened
to Hanshi and Feibai.
If I could find Qiushan's abnormalities earlier,
They...
I also feel sorry
and miss them very much.
I know what happened to Qiushan is a big blow to you.
You may leave me alone here.
No matter how sad I'm now,
I must leave it aside.
If we can't apprehend the star map,
We can't change your destiny.
Don't blame yourself for others' mistake.
I understand.
Now, focus on the present,
Let's return to our subject, the star map.
