>> Episode 42 <<
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty— - Enough.
Don't speak anymore.
I understand in my heart.
Your Majesty.
You know that you are guilty and owe the Yang family.
You previously removed your imperial robe and asked to be lashed.
Have you forgotten all of these now?
Pan Renmei is harboring evil intentions and is bent on overthrowing the Song dynasty.
If this person isn't eliminated, the Song dynasty will be in danger.
I know all of that.
But there is one thing that you all don't know.
Consort Pan is now pregnant.
Then... what Your Majesty means is...
I really don't know what to do.
Consort Pan is going to bear me a child
yet I am going to punish her father at this time.
Tell me, how should I choose?
Your Majesty, most of the Yang family sons sacrificed their lives
for the Song dynasty.
Now their family has only a group of widows left.
While Your Majesty, just for yourself, is not willing to suffer any losses.
Punishing Pan Renmei not only will console the soul of Commander Yang in heaven,
but is also for your Song dynasty.
Could it be that Your Majesty has forgotten the purpose of Chief Commander Yang's suicide at the tombstone?
Say no more.
I am agreeing with your plans.
If we want to punish Pan Renmei, you are a crucial part.
For the general situation,
Your Majesty, you have to suffer now.
Now that the generals of the Yang family are dead,
no one in the government will dare go against me anymore.
This imperial throne will naturally be mine.
You can't even deal with a measly Yang's Son Six and Princess Cai,
and you still hope to become the emperor?
You really are daydreaming.
I think that you better just destroy this imperial robe soon
to prevent leaving any future trouble.
Right now, I already hold great power in the imperial court.
Even His Majesty is afraid of me.
What is there for me to fear?
Are you really muddle or just faking it?
After the Golden Sand Beach Battle,
His Majesty already feels much guilt towards the Yang family.
He already started to distance himself from you.
If I had not bribed the imperial physician and pretended to be pregnant,
I think your power would have been long gone and your life in danger.
My good daughter, the Imperial Consort, no need to worry about me.
My backers are the Liao people.
More than half of the generals of the Yang family are already dead.
The ones remaining are just useless individuals.
There is already no one in the imperial court that can battle the Liao's.
His Majesty will surely not dare do anything to me.
Everything is under my control.
Your Lady Highness! Your Lady Highness!
Why are you being panicky?
News has come from the Palace that His Majesty was gravely injured from an assassination attempt.
His life is close to death.
What did you say?! Explain it clearly!
Yes, Your Lady Highness.
It seems that someone attempted to assassinate His Majesty because of what he did to the Yang family.
The palace now is in disarray!
This is really the Heaven's will.
The Heavens are really helping me.
Your Lady Highness and Prime Minister, please stop your steps.
How is His Majesty?!
His Majesty had an assassination attempt and was gravely injured.
The imperial physicians are currently treating him.
How come it's like this? How did this happen?
I don't know. Everyone is making conjectures.
It must be someone who felt that injustice was given to the Yang family, hence, came here to assassinate.
- Have you caught the assassin? - No.
When the guards discovered His Majesty,
the assassin had escaped.
- Your Lady Highness... - Move aside!
Your Majesty
- Your Lady Highness— - Your Majesty, wake up.
His Majesty is gravely injured and needs rest.
You must not.
Your Majesty...
Wake up, Your Majesty!
Empress Dowager, then does this mean that the Song Emperor was attacked
and currently close to death?
A group of dragons without a leader, the government will surely be in disarray.
Pan Renmei wants to use this chance to guide our army to enter the Central Plains and rise in revolt.
In reality, it is conniving from inside and outside and directly attacking the fatal part.
By that time, he can already sit on the imperial throne
and put on the imperial robe.
Pan Renmei is earnestly requesting Empress Dowager to grab hold of the chance and send the army soon.
He said that he is afraid that the Yang family might gather their power and reestablish their might.
It will be troublesome in the future.
So great!
Dispatching the army while they are in chaos and attack the city.
This is indeed a rare and good opportunity.
Our Liao has numerous times dispatched armies to attack Song's territories.
But they always returned defeated and it was really frustrating.
The Battle at Golden Sand Beach caused the Yang's Army to suffer great casualties and lose their commander.
Plus the imperial Song court being in disarray without us doing anything,
the Heaven is really helping our Liao.
The Song lands can now be obtained so easily.
We must not let this chance go.
Immediately dispatch the army towards Bianjing and help Pan Renmei ascend to the throne.
Once the year name* has changed,
the Song dynasty will crumble without doing anything. (* Name of years are usually based on the current Emperor)
What military strategist said is so right. We must not let this chance go.
Conquering the Song lands has been my lifelong wish.
Spread my royal decree,
immediately reorganize the generals and soldiers, prepare to mobilize and storm the Song lands.
- Yes. - Yes.
Princess, rest for a while. Let me do it.
It's fine. I'm not tired.
How can you not be tired?
Since you brought this man back from the battlefield,
you have been staying by his side and caring for him without resting.
I really don't know what good fortunes he cultivated in past lives
that he was able to get such treatment from you.
Being able to see him again,
I already feel contented.
But he is from the Yang's Army.
Don't mind that much. Just go see if the medicine is done.
Yes, Princess.
What's wrong?
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong?
Princess! Oh, no, Princess!
General Yelü just sent men to check on us.
[The Young Warriors]
Princess.
Why is General here?
I was making rounds with my men earlier and suddenly I heard someone playing a musical tune.
That was a tune from the Central Plains.
It was only me earlier that was playing that tune.
If General has nothing else, you can leave now.
Yes, Princess.
Let's go
Princess! Please don't hurt the princess.
Your are Great Liao's princess?
My name is Yinjing. My mother is Empress Dowager Xiao.
Princess!
If not because my Princess saved you from the battlefield,
you would have died long ago!
That's really what happened!
In these past days that you were unconscious, you should thank Princess for meticulously taking care of you.
Do you know who I am?
You are our Liao's enemy, the Yang family's Son Four.
Since you know my identity,
why must you save me?!
Because of our one time encounter.
I never met you!
Maybe you don't remember but I will never forget it.
Just be at ease and recuperate here.
No one will come to disturb you.
I will not harm you.
Because in the past, you also saved me.
- What took you so long? - Sorry.
- Let's go. - Hey, Princess.
I heard from the soldiers earlier that the Song emperor was assassinated.
Empress Dowager plans to seize the opportunity while the Song has no ruler and dispatch the army to attack them.
What? They are going to dispatch the army to attack Song already?
Yes.
To prevent Yang's Son Four from worrying, you must not spread this news, understand?
Yes, Princess.
Son Four!
You all leave first.
Yes, Empress Dowager.
No!
- Men! - Here! Attack!
- Protect Empress Dowager! - Protect Empress Dowager!
Stop!
- Royal Mother, let him go! - What?
I was the one who saved Yang's Son Four.
Didn't you say that all the members of the Yang family are outstanding heroes?
Royal Mother, let him go.
Yinjing, what are you saying?
This person tried to assassinate your Royal Mother,
yet you are asking me to let him go?!
Although I admire the Yang's Army,
I must not be lenient towards our enemies and let them grow.
- Men! - Here!
- Drag him out! - Yes!
Royal Mother! Don't kill him!
Why?
Because... I... already promised the rest of my life with him.
I am already his person*. (* married or have slept with.)
Don't hurt him!
What did you say?
We didn't privately promise the rest of our lives with each other.
You invaded our Song and killed my brothers.
Even if you don't kill me,
I will never let you off!
Drag him out and execute him.
Yes!
Royal Mother, no!
Princess!
Royal Mother, if you really are going to kill him,
I can only accompany him to the netherworld.
Just for this person, do you disregard your own clean reputation
and even your life?
Royal Mother!
- Lock Yang's Son Four in prison first. - Yes!
Royal Mother...
An evil-fated relationship!
This is really an Evil-fated relationship!
You are really making me so angry.
Yinjing, I can do as you want and not kill him.
But I surely won't allow him to be released back to the Central Plains.
I am going to make him be Liao's royal son-in-law, your husband.
You must not, Royal Mother!
Son Four already has a wife in the Central Plains.
Even if I'm willing to marry him, he won't agree to it.
What if he loses his memory and forgets his past identity,
how can it be impossible?
This is yours and his last chance.
I'm giving you five minutes to think.
Do you want him to be alive and stay by your side
or let him die in a foreign land?
You decide.
Sorry, Son Four.
Just to save your life,
I must do this.

General has unrivaled bravery but is actually a sentimental person.
Empress Dowager.
You offering wine while facing the Golden Sand Beach,
are you feeling sympathetic to the lost souls of the Yang's Army?
Empress Dowager, in the past, even in my dreams, I would think of how to defeat the Yang's Army,
how to step on the corpses of the warriors of the Yang's army.
Now that I've finally done it,
I initially thought that I would feel so happy.
But I didn't.
I instead felt
something is missing.
After the Golden Sand Beach Battle, I made numerous reflections.
My army has fought with Yang Ye and the Yang's Army numerous times.
After every battle, no matter if one wins or loses,
what everyone bled was heroic blood.
But with the Golden Sand Beach Battle, although our army got a resounding victory,
in reality, it was a massacre.
It was a massacre form our army to the Yang's Army.
Although it brought a huge blow to the Song army,
it actually didn't inspire the Liao army at all.
General...
Empress Dowager, you should understand what I mean.
Then...
I have caused you to suffer.
General, did you already make any decisions?
Empress Dowager, in this expedition towards to Bianjing, no matter if it's a victory or not,
it will be my last battle with the Yang's Army.
I surely will exchange my life for glory and put all my best into it.
I won't disappoint Empress Dowager.
A brave man has no fear. An intelligent man is unrivaled.
But a benevolent man is actually the true hero, no fear and unrivaled.
In you, I am seeing a benevolent, wise, and brave general.
Just go and fight this last battle of yours well.
[The Young Warriors]
My subjects, please rise.
The world will soon be mine.
You? Why are you here?
Evil Pan, I previously warned you
that as a subject, you should just abide by the law and behave yourself.
Don't commit foolish and evil acts.
Not only did you not repent and change your ways, you even got worse.
Today, you actually sat on His Majesty's imperial throne?!
You?! Don't make unfounded attacks on me.
I am loyal to His Majesty and to the Song dynasty.
The sun and moon can be my witness.
Pan Renmei, as the government's prime minister,
you actually played with political power and caused the deaths of loyal subjects,
secretly conniving with the Liao, secretly making your own imperial robe.
Each of these crimes are punishable by death.
Now that we have hard evidence, what else do you want to say?
Pan Renmei, you deserve to die thousands of times!
I am sorry, Your Majesty. I deserve to die a thousand times!
Have mercy! Your Majesty, have mercy!
Have mercy?
Weren't you trying to replace me earlier and be the Emperor?
I won't dare do it anymore.
I wronged Your Majesty and the Yang family.
You think that one sorry is enough?!
If you knew you would end up in this state, why must you still do those things?
As a Song official, you actually colluded with the Liao.
Even if the Yang family will be able to forgive you,
the citizens of this country will not be able to forgive you.
Just for your personal gains, you actually connived with our enemies.
Even if you are able to sit on this imperial throne,
you still will be cursed by the world and your name will be infamous in history.
Pan Renmei, General Yang was loyal to the Song and even though he's dead, he will forever live on.
As Song's Prime Minister,
comparing yourself to him, don't you have even a bit of sense of honor?!
I am sorry, Your Majesty.
I am sorry to Chief Commander Yang.
Your Majesty, spare my life...
Do you even have the nerve to ask that your life be spared?
We should have immediately killed you and offered it to the valiant warriors of the Yang family.
But this rotten life of yours still has a use for now.
Pan Renmei, if you are willing to do a meritorious deed to make up for your crimes,
I can spare your life.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Whatever you ask me to do, I will not refuse it.
Since you already have connived with the Liao, go and personally meet Day Spirit.
Lower his guard and lure them to enter the city.
Yes.
Our main army has entered into their territory.
It is unlikely that the Song didn't sense it.
But right now, they are not making any moves.
This must be a trick.
Let us see then what trick the Song is doing.
Minister Pan, didn't we agree to collude internally and externally
to remove the present emperor from his throne and support you to sit on it?
How come you suddenly became an envoy now?
Looks like the situation isn't that simple.
Military adviser is really brilliant.
You really have foresight.
His Majesty pretended to be sick to fool everyone
and lure the Liao army to infiltrate deeply into our territory and then eliminate you all.
Everything is just within the grasp of my hand.
You are too anxious to achieve success and are very greedy.
Or else, how could our plan have been exposed?
General Yelü, I can lead the Liao army deep into the Central Plains
and open a convenient entrance to all of you.
The Yang's Army will surely die under your hands.
We can obtain the Song dynasty very soon.
The Yang's Army has reached the end of their rope.
The Song dynasty has fallen into the brink of war.
At this time, why would I dare to still trouble a despicable lowlife like you?
Minister Pan, this life of yours has not much use anymore.
Military strategist, even if I haven't achieved any merit for the Liao, I did exert much effort for your sake.
You breaking your promise like that is totally despicable!
You dare curse me as being despicable?!
Who among us is despicable?
General Yelü, you do not like this kind of person either, right?
Reporting to General, Pan Renmei was killed by Day Spirit using his heartless arrow.
Day Spirit killed him without mercy.
He seems to already know that Pan Renmei's doings have been exposed.
They asked me to relay a message to His Majesty telling him to
surrender or they will surely turn the imperial capital into a bloodbath.
I know already.
Son Six, Day Spirit has always been crafty and deceitful.
This time, he surely came prepared.
If that's the case, the one who will fall into a trap might not be Day Spirit but us.
Prince, don't worry.
The strength of both armies are just comparable.
But the Liao has traveled far
so they surely are already very exhausted.
Plus the fact that we have my Older Bro Five leading an army to reinforce us outside their enclosure.
As long as we lock the Liao army within the capital, they won't last long.
But Day Spirit acted brazenly. We still have to guard against them.
[The Young Warriors]
- Military adviser. - Yes?
I still can't understand why
military adviser must kill Pan Renmei?
If things occur too smoothly, it will cast doubts in people.
And that Pan Renmei is too greedy. We would eliminate him sooner or later.
That's why, why don't we use this chance to showcase our strength to the Song army?
But the power of our Liao army might not be able to win over the Song army.
As the commander of the Liao army, stop saying such demoralizing words!
Haven't you heard about
winning over the enemy without a fight?
Winning over the enemy without fighting?
Just be at ease.
I already made my set up. Everything is under my control.
Are you here to show your might?
If showcasing one's might can defeat the Yang's Army,
then I don't need to travel far and lead a war expedition to here.
But you must know
that he is the Song's Prime Minister.
During war, one shouldn't kill the enemy's envoy.
Pan Renmei is a despicable villain.
He should be the shame of both Song and Liao.
Now that his intentions were exposed,
he wanted to seek refuge with us.
He was exactly looking for death.
I shall deliver his corpse today because of my respect
to your father and the Yang's Army.
Treat it also as my gift to your Yang family.
If we both were Liao,
maybe we would become friends.
I also feel regretful for this.
But let me also make it clear that it was your excessive ambitions
that caused us all to be unable to live harmoniously.
I want to say is I really feel honored to have a rival
like the Yang's Army.
But I still have to warn you that
for this battle, our Liao has made complete preparations.
You all must be careful.
I am telling you all this
because I want to win fair.
No matter what happens, I will do my best.
I definitely will not go soft on you guys.
I must win.
Let me tell you too
that we can only win and not lose.
- General Jiao and General Meng! - Here!
The two of you take 5,000 elite soldiers each and make sneak attacks on both flanks of the Liao army
to disperse their power.
But remember, don't zealously continue the fighting
and just wait for Older Bro Five's support troops.
Yes!
General Jiao!
Close the city gates!
Madam! Madam!
Madam! Bad news, Madam!
Bad new! Bad news! Something bad has happened!
What is it?
The Liao army outside the city are starting to attack.
But I don't know when our soldiers got poisoned.
Each one is currently vomiting and getting weak.
How come things became like this?
I'm not quite clear, either.
Young Master Five went out to get reinforcements. I don't know when he will be back.
And the soldiers within the city are all becoming weak.
Young Master Six is already very anxious.
If we don't have any military strength, how are we going to fight this war?
No matter what, before Son Five returns,
we must not let the Liao army enter the capital.
Everyone knows that.
But what really should we do?
No matter how calculating the Liao army is,
they would have never thought that in the Yang family, other than having male warriors,
there are still female warriors who are not afraid of death!
- Yang Hong. - Here.
- Bring out my armor. - Yes.
- Chief Commander! - What's the situation?
The men guarding the northern side of the city were all poisoned.
The men guarding the western and the southern side of the city are also all poisoned.
Hurry and gather all the poisoned soldiers and provide treatment.
- Immediately report to me any new situation. - Yes!
Reporting to Chief Commander, the number of Liao soldiers are increasing non-stop.
We might not be able to hold them off any longer!
Immediately check on the numbers of fire arrows and rocks.
- The attack of the fire weapons must not stop! - Yes!
Right now, there are so many people in the army that were poisoned.
Our military power is greatly diminished.
How are we going to be able to block off the attacks by the Liao?
Could it be... that I really placed too much confidence in myself and made the wrong decision?
I lured the wolves here and destroyed the city instead.
Son Six, this wasn't your own decision.
This was a decision made by everyone.
Right now, there are so many soldiers getting poisoned.
This is also something we didn't expect.
No. I think someone was helping Day Spirit covertly and did some underhanded trick.
That's why we ended up in such passive situation.
It must be Pan Renmei who did it!
He really deserved having such an ending.
If it was Pan Renmei, then he should still be valuable.
Day Spirit wouldn't have killed him this early on.
As the leader of the three armies, I should be able to think of any situation.
Or else, I am not worthy to be a chief commander.
Son Six, stop being too guilty.
Right now, the enemies are in darkness while we are in the light.
We can't really defend against their attacks.
Son Five is coming with the reinforcements.
We surely can resolve this predicament.
But I am worried that before Older Bro Five's army arrives,
the city will already be lost.
Son Six!
As the commander of the three armies, no matter what happens, you must not be in disarray
and also you must not affect the morale of the troops!
Among the Yang family, it is not only the men who are willing to risk their lives to fight.
The females are also warriors that won't lose to men.
Since the soldiers are poisoned,
leave the duty of protecting Song to us female warriors temporarily.
- Mother. - Madam Yang.
Prince, the reason why the Liao fears the Yang's Army is because of our willpower.
No matter if we are fighting with our last soldiers, we will not admit defeat.
Do you still remember your father's words?
As long as your will is firm, there is no war that you can't win.
Son Six, try thinking about it.
If your father was here wielding the commanding power,
what would he do?
The Yang family's female warriors are awaiting Chief Commander Yang's orders.
[The Young Warriors]
- Come. Be careful. - Be careful.
Move aside.
Go get some gauze.
Let me take a look.
Hold on.
If Older Bro Five still doesn't come back,
even if we use up all the soldiers in the city, we won't last much longer.
Don't worry.
Your father's soul in Heaven will surely protect us.
General Yang, I finally found you.
Consort Pan has urgent matters to discuss with you.
Tell her that the war situation is currently critical and I have no time to bother with her.
Your Lady Highness said that if General Yang wants to defeat the Liao,
you must see her.
What does that mean?
Your Lady Highness said that if you go see her, then the poisoned soldiers can be saved.
Please.
Princess, what's wrong with you?!
Pan Ying, what are you doing?
Is that making your heart ache?
Let me ask you, is the matter about numerous soldiers getting poisoned
your doing?!
Yes.
Why?
Because I hate you. I want all the soldiers to die with you.
Pan Ying, what does hating me have to do with them?!
Just for your personal grudge, you covertly connived with Day Spirit,
betrayed the Song dynasty, and betrayed His Majesty!
Now that the capital is in grave danger, do you really know what you are doing?!
I know. Of course, I know.
Your father was killed by Day Spirit.
Don't you know it or do you just chose to continue with your evil ways?
Of course, I know.
My father didn't acknowledge me as his daughter before, either.
Why must I be sad for his death now?
You really are heartless.
When I had a heart before, what did I get?
My father spitting and cursing me, Yang's Son Six abandoning me.
I really ended up with nothing. I was living in hell.
But His Majesty really loves you a lot.
Loves me a lot?
It's all because of him
that I ended up being with that muddled emperor.
He really is rigorous in scheming, has deep foresight, and knows very well to balance powers.
He just let the Pan and Yang families fight against each other both covertly and openly.
In the end, both ended up tragically hurt and he only has himself to blame.
Pan Ying, it's not the time for you to explain your actions.
If you know to repent for your sins and mend your ways, there's still time.
Give me the antidote.
Too late.
His Majesty already granted me the poison wine.
He wants me to die.
But it's really quite lonely to be walking the netherworld alone.
That's why, I want you two to die with me.
I have an antidote and I can give it to you.
But you must kill Princess Cai in front of me.
How are you doing?
I'm fine. Go and steal the antidote and cure the soldiers.
You're making it sound so easy.
Do you know which antidote is real?
Pan Ying, are you crazy?!
I want the Yang's Army, the Song Army, everyone to accompany me to the netherworld.
I beg you. Give me the antidote.
Are you killing her or not?
Pan Ying, you doing this is wronging the Song dynasty,
- wronging the citizens of Song. - Enough.
Just leave these awe-inspiring words to yourself.
If you really are sincere in saving the Song dynasty,
then beg Yang's Son Six to kill you.
As long as you die, he will be able to get the antidote.
He then can resolve the danger that Bianjing is currently in.
But let me tell you. I want Yang's Son Six
to personally kill you.
If those poisoned soldiers are unable to get an antidote in six hours,
their whole body will ulcerate and they will die.
Are you going to sacrifice everyone's life just for Princess Cai?
Princess...
Yang's Son Six, remember. Even if you don't kill her,
she will also be like those soldiers after six hours.
Pan Ying,
it was me who refused your feelings.
This matter has nothing to do with anyone else.
I beg you to let Princess
and those soldiers go.
If anyone must die, just let me die.
Son Six, don't.
I am dying soon anyway, just hurry and kill me.
I can't do it.
The enemies are currently in front of us.
Whether you can save the Song dynasty or not,
it all depends on your one decision.
Don't sacrifice the Song dynasty just for me.
Or else, you will be unable to face the Song country,
the citizens, and the Yang family.
It's already enough that I know that you love me.
I am willing to die.
Just kill me.
- Princess... - Enough already, Yang's Son Six!
I already don't have the patience to wait anymore!
Just do it!
Pan Ying, don't insult somebody beyond their limits!
Even if you kill me, I won't tell you where the antidote is.
Just do it. If you don't do it,
I will become the criminal who caused Song to lose.
No!
So overjoyed!
I'm sorry.
Don't say sorry.
I just wanted to help you get the antidote.
Are you satisfied now?
Aren't you going to still hand over the antidote?
This is the happiest moment in my life.
Don't you two want to be together?
I just won't let you two be together.
The victor in the end is me.
Son Six!
Hurry and go!
Hurry and save those soldiers...
Do you two think that the antidote you are holding is real?
Why would I give you two the real antidote?
You were all tricked.
