[Episode 73]
Muyun Sheng!
Muyun Sheng! Wake up!
This moment of glory...
It has finally arrived.
Muyun Sheng...
This is the power of gods I expected to see.
More!
Come at me, Muyun Sheng!
Come at me!
Muyun Sheng! Wake up quickly!
Muyun Sheng!
What is this?
It's the blade that shall relieve all suffering in the world!
There cannot be a Human world with no suffering!
Is that so?
Muyun Sheng!
You're too pleased.
Why do I always see you in a cage?
My name is Shuofeng He Ye.
What's your name?
Han Jiang.
Your surname is Han?
In a way.
I'm the lord of the Shuofeng Clan in Northern Han.
I'm happy to be your friend.
Many years ago...
your father's subordinates...
killed my father.
And my people.
They killed my entire clan.
Shuofeng He Ye.
You brought Han Shan back here?
I only came here to deliver some news.
It's a pity how now no one in Tian Qi City would care that
the Muru Cavalry was defeated in Han Prefecture.
The Muru Cavalry isn't defeated.
Why did you save me?
I saw the Muyuns slaughter those of the Muru family.
You came here...
just to tell me how happy you are that you've had your revenge.
I have a question for you.
Ask away.
I remember when we were children, you once said that
you wouldn't vie against Muyun Sheng for the world.
What about now?
If Muyun Sheng becomes the next emperor of East Continent
will you wield your sword toward your dear friend?
This really has been such a long day.
I'm truly exhausted.
Han Jiang!
Come and sit with me for a while.
Come and sit for a while!
You still have a long road ahead.
It's just the campfire that's missing.
What?
If we had a campfire here
it'd be just like it was back in the cave when we were teens.
When we were teens?
We can never relive that moment again.
Do you still remember what we said then?
The first day he met his father...
he wielded a sword and wanted to kill him.
Because when he was born
people believed that he would vie for the world against Muyun Sheng.
Who were they to think so?
Why would they assume that I would vie for it?
They didn't even know me.
No one has ever asked me what I think of
the sovereignty, wealth, and authority that they like
or what those mean to me.
Han Jiang.
What does authority really mean to you?
It's a blade.
My father...
He killed your father.
Why?
Because of me.
When I was born, a prophecy was foretold.
I am to become the next emperor.
But I'll be a terrible emperor.
I'll bring disaster upon everyone.
For that reason, everyone in the Great Duan Empire is worried.
Han Jiang.
It was then that your father thought
you'd surely vie for the throne against me.
He's probably very worried that you'd take it from me.
General.
What the Muru family once lost 300 years ago
the newly born young master shall retrieve for you.
Emperor Ming already knows about this?
No one does.
No one knew it would be your son.
My birth...
It was a mistake?
Yes.
It was a mistake.
You can't let it go?
We can't be how we once were?
Han Jiang.
You're the last person in this world who cares about me.
My friend.
I am leaving.
When I return to Tian Qi City once again
I will drag the Royal Muyun family off that throne.
You're also the last person I care about in this world.
I truly wish to see you smile again.
Forget all that was good in the past.
Can I?
I finally understand...
why God Pandar stuck the Iron King Sword in the volcano.
I finally understand now...
why God Pandar allowed only one man to pull out the Iron King Sword.
Emperors and kings...
They are the loneliest people in the entire world.
They have no friends.
They have no brothers.
They have no lovers.
They could become the blade in someone's hand anytime.
Or even...
they could be the ones wielding the blade.
Muyun Sheng.
I'm very happy to see you again.
Muru Han Jiang.
My warriors of North Continent shall soon wage war upon Tian Qi City.
The Muyun sovereignty is now on the decline.
The era of the Muru family...
has also ended.
The world...
It's time for new law and order to be established.
You're wrong!
The Muru family still stands!
Muyun Sheng.
Wait here for me.
We're destined to fight it out.
Han Jiang.
You must keep one matter in mind.
When you return
and I am the one on the throne, remember what I once told you.
When the day comes
grab the Bone Chiller and stab me with it.
Kill me.
Stop me from disappointing everyone.
That is as good as saving me.
Don't worry.
I won't let you become the one to hurl Novoland into great suffering.
When I should draw my blade...
I will do so.
You must bear that in mind.
So long, Muyun Sheng.
Once I've taken down Tian Qi City for Tie Yuan
leave with me.
After all, brothers can't share the throne.
In the future, someone will help him.
This has just begun.
I'm slightly taller than my father.
His royal robe seems a bit small on me.
It won't look good.
Aren't we in a hurry to get the coronation ceremony done?
We're pressed for time.
There isn't enough time to make a new one.
The royal robe might be important
but it's even more important to secure your sovereignty.
Chancellor, are you taking advantage of me?
How would I dare do so?
You're being too sensitive.
Your Majesty, General Yu seeks audience.
Call him in.
Yes.
Arch Prince Jing of Yue used the excuse of Prince Qin
to collude with Huo Si Zhong.
His army is already at Shang Yang Pass.
Prince Qin? What Prince Qin?
I have yet to hold my coronation ceremony!
Such nonsense.
He claims it's unjustified
that Muyun Sheng signed a decree to abdicate his throne to me.
Chancellor Xue.
Present.
Summon the official and prepare for the ceremony overnight.
We'll hold the coronation tomorrow!
Yes.
It's urgent.
Prince Lu is outnumbered at Shang Yang Pass.
I'm afraid that he won't last.
We must send reinforcements quickly.
The original Muru Cavalry is still stationed across Novoland.
We should deploy them to Shang Yang Pass swiftly.
It will take a few days for them to get there.
We have to act fast.
The Muru Cavalry doesn't exist anymore!
General Yu.
The deployment of troops isn't listed under your duties.
I know that you're loyal in defending the Duan Empire
but you shouldn't overstep your authority.
After the coronation ceremony
I'll discuss this matter with the Chancellor.
Moreover!
You've been dutiful in protecting the former emperor.
You also led your subordinates out of the Muru Cavalry
to join the Muyun Silver Army.
I know that you're smart.
You won't be blindly loyal.
A man like you must have great aspirations.
I like that very much.
As long as you understand what it means to be obedient
and when you should charge forward... or take a step back...
I can meet any requests that you might have.
You're dismissed.
I'll help you try on the makeup and hair.
Then I'll leave tomorrow.
Prince De is leaving Tian Qi City.
He's taking me with him.
Congratulations.
I should be the one to congratulate you.
After tomorrow, you'll be the most distinguished woman in the world.
I deserve to be one.
This scar of mine...
Don't bother covering it up.
You're right.
On the wedding day, you'll certainly have the veil on.
I won't put the veil on.
I want everyone to see just how much I can sacrifice for my ambitions.
I want everyone in the world to know
just how terrifying their new empress, Nanku Yue Li, is.
They can't afford to offend me.
This was sent from the palace.
The eunuch particularly specified that His Majesty ordered the Wise
in Wan Prefecture to speed up making this gown just for you.
There are 81 Oceanide pearls as embellishment.
All of them are luminous.
In Novoland...
there's nothing else that is as extravagant as this.
Open it.
Do you see this?
Only this is worthy of me.
Oceanide pearls...
Those are formed from the tears of the Oceanides.
As long as you think of winning
be it tears or scars...
use them well and they can all turn into weapons.
I've won.
General, you're troubled?
Prince He Ge will be throned tomorrow.
That's good.
He'll surely target you next.
Your Highness is still in the mood to paint here
instead of making plans for your future?
Father said that he couldn't paint the snowstorm of Tian Qi well enough.
Once I started painting, I realized that I've never witnessed a storm.
I don't know how men would sway in a snowstorm.
Therefore, I couldn't paint how dispirited they would seem.
Can Your Highness draw it now?
Someone once asked me a question.
I'd like to know of your opinion on it.
Please ask away, Your Highness.
Are good people incompetent?
Is kindness cowardice?
I, too, have a question to ask Your Highness.
Do ask, General.
What is loyalty?
Loyalty?
It is faith.
What if the one you placed your faith in is gone...
and defeated...
or dead?
Fulfill his wish, then.
Yu Xin Ji is grateful for Prince Sheng's guidance.
You haven't answered my questions yet.
Your Highness's questions will be answered tomorrow.
[Muyun Yan's memorial tablet]
I did it.
I couldn't bear to see Mother helpless and alone crying
in the palace for years.
I never wanted anyone to allocate me far away from Mother.
I finally did it.
I am now the emperor.
I can now protect Mother in the palace forever.
I knew from the day I gave birth to you
that you were the best child in the world.
You're more powerful than any of your brothers.
Only that most prestigious position is good enough for you.
Shen Chang Fu seeks audience.
Enter!
It shall soon be the auspicious hour.
Your Majesty, please get changed into the emperor's robe.
I'd like to greet Empress Dowager in advance!
You're still as mischievous as you were a child.
This jade scepter is for you.
It will be the betrothal gift for your future empress.
Thank you, Mother.
What about Yue Li?
Once I've secured my sovereignty
I'll certainly give her an explanation.
Once this incense burns out
there will be ritual attendants to escort me to the palace.
Then I will be the Duan Empire's new empress.
Rise.
Empress Dowager arrives!
Greetings, Empress Dowager!
It is the auspicious hour!
We welcome His Majesty to enter the palace hall!
Proceed!
Your Majesty, please take the throne!
