[Legend of Fuyao]
~ Episode 28 ~
The night of the wedding?
What about it?
According to Deep Water Nation's customs. The Royal Wedding
requires both Zhang Henian and I to provide 60% of our military power
to form the Deep Water Nation King's own royal guard.
This will make a total of 150,000 soldiers. We shouldn't neglect such number.
You can pick any day you like.
It's just that you're already plotting a revolt.
Why are you still worried that puppet King will steal your power?
On the day of the wedding, all the royal court will be in the palace.
Those who support me,
I will keep. But those who oppose me. I'll get rid of them all.
It'll pave my way for the future. Isn't that better?
You sure are cruel and devious.
I like it. Then it's confirmed.
After 3 days. On the 19th of this month.
On the day of the Royal Wedding.
I, Zhangsun Pinrong, will definitely come congratulate you.
Then it's settled, First Royal Son.
I eager await.
[Mirror Moon Pool]
These petals were freshly picked this morning.
WIth this treatment, the King will surely be enchanted by our Lady
tomorrow at the Royal Wedding.
What are you talking about?
Even without these petals,
the King is still enchanted by our Lady.
Get out.
My Lady.
Get lost!
Leave!
Father.
Your daughter is unfilial.
But the future of the Tang family,
is in my hands.
I promise to be a good Queen.
Once I'm in power,
to those who bullied me,
betrayed our family,
I will...
Your Majesty, the inner palace has delivered tomorrow's ceremonial robes.
There nine items.
Your Majesty, although the position of Queen isn't that important.
But is it really appropriate to give it to such an unscrupulous woman?
It's not up to you or me whether it's appropriate.
It's impossible to control in life,
what should and shouldn't happen.
If Tang Zhirong is willing to betray everything for it,
then I'll just give the position of Queen to her.
Whether she deserves it or not,
will depend on her fortune.
What is happening?
Why am I here?
Lady Fair.
Greetings, Lady Fair. The King asks to see you.
The King? Isn't he...
Godfather.
Please rise, child. Please rise.
Please rise. You've been startled, haven't you?
Godfather you could have just asked me to come.
You didn't need to organise this.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Oh that's right. You were looking at this before.
Do you know what it is?
Look. Sparkling and golden.
This is the Nine Phoenix Coronet.
This is the ceremonial crown of Deep Water Queen.
The Queen's ceremonial crown?
Shouldn't it be with Tang Zhirong?
Who did it?
We're looking into it.
Keep an eye on it. Find a good spot
- for her burial. - I understand.
Who else is missing?
Tell me.
Miss Fuyao.
Maybe she left earlier than planned? It's hard to say?
She wouldn't have gone so quickly.
Not this coincidentally.
Qi Zhen must have set his plan in motion.
What does Qi Zhen want with Miss Fuyao?
I want you to be the Queen of Deep Water.
Godfather.
The Nine Phoenix Coronet and Scarlet Cloud Gown
is prepared especially for the Queen of Deep Water Nation.
In my eyes, you are the only worthy candidate
to be the Queen of Deep Water Nation.
Godfather. Do you want me to imitate Tang Zhirong?
No of course not.
You misunderstand.
I want you to officially be Xuanyuan Min's Queen.
Tomorrow's wedding will go ahead as planned.
Before the ceremony begins, the inner palace will send a new decree,
proclaiming a new Queen. It will be you.
But, it's not marriage personally decreed by the King.
Do you really think I'll let you actually get married?
No. You're a dagger.
A dagger I've placed by Xuanyuan Min's side.
For the wedding tomorrow, according to the customs
half the nation's troops will be reorganised.
As imperial guards, or royal guards.
And the marshal's seal that controls the imperial guards,
will be personally handed over by the Queen as part of the wedding ceremony.
The marshal's seal has never been given to a woman from the harem before.
The people will revolt if they knew the harem was entering politics.
Of course the imperial guard is controlled by the King. This is just a ceremony.
But if anyone was plotting to steal the marshal's seal,
the ceremony tomorrow would be the best time to do it.
I understand.
Godfather wants me to steal the marshal's seal for you?
Yes. As long as I have the marshal's seal,
all 150,000 of the imperial guard will be under my control.
Then no matter how clever Xuanyuan Min is, he won't stand a chance.
Godfather. You're giving me such an important mission. I'm afraid...
Failure is not an option!
Child, don't forget.
All the lives in your family,
are in your hands.
I will definitely do my utmost best.
Good child. Tomorrow, at the wedding,
you will be closest to Xuyuan Min.
Your position is the least suspect of all.
Remember, watch me.
Wait for my signal.
Then, help me,
kill him with no hesitation. Kill him.
Assassinate the King and get the throne.
Yes. Assassinate the King and get the throne.
I've been waiting too long for this day.
Your Majesty.
What is it?
The rumours of Lady Precious' accident are abound.
With such good servants,
how can the palace keep any secrets?
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
I'm utterly devoted to you.
I know where your loyalty lies.
What do you want?
Your Majesty.
The courtiers say, although Lady Precious is gone,
but the wedding ceremony is a national event.
It should still go ahead.
If the King can choose another candidate for the position?
What are those old geezers saying now?
Please have a look, Your Majesty.
[... Lady Fair will be a good candidate...]
Yuwen Zi?
The ugly girl in the solitary palace?
She deserves to be the Queen of Deep Water Nation?
Your Majesty, the officials say...
What officials?
This is clearly Prime Minister Qi Zhen's idea.
He's never been happy I chose Rong'er to be Queen.
He definitely has something to do with her murder!
Your Majesty, you don't have evidence.
I don't have evidence? My Queen was murdered.
Now my words as King are unsubstantiated?
Fine. Go back and tell them.
I don't care who's Queen anymore. They can pick whoever they like.
Get lost! All of you!
Your Majesty, what about the candidate for Queen?
Do you want me to repeat myself?
Of course, I'll leave now
Don't get too angry, Your Majesty. It's bad for your health.
I can breathe easier knowing that girl is fine.
Are you worried about her too?
I originally wanted her to leave. But we can't control fate.
If she's pre-destined to be my Queen. There's nothing I can do.
You're scared of Qi Zhen, that sly fox?
Don't worry.
He'd never suspect I'd have the courage to make things difficult for him.
He just thinks he's got spies everywhere.
But he forgets, it's easy to catch trapped prey.
You think he'll resist?
That's true.
He's bribed and colluded with everyone.
It took some effort.
If all his supporters came together,
it'll be almost a 400,000 strong army.
If you're scared, go back first.
Your Majesty. The Prime Minister seeks an audience.
Shi Lan what are you doing here?
The Prime Minister was concerned you're not being served well. So he sent me.
Shi Lan, get me a cup of tea.
Go, tell Xuanyuan Min. Qi Zhen wants to kill him.
- Tell him to escape, now. - Escape?
How is he supposed to escape? There are soldiers everywhere. It's incredibly dangerous.
If he escapes now. Both you and I are dead.
It isn't worth it.
This is something I painstainkingly made over 3 months.
Prepared especially for your wedding.
This is the land of Deep Water Nation.
Along with a dragon and phoenix.
Please accept my amateur skills as a token.
There's no water in the tea pot. I'll go get some.
The water will be here soon.
- Here. - Thanks.
Guys, I'm really hungry.
- Can I... - Your meal has already been prepared.
My Lady
Guys, my stomach really hurts.
Can I please use the bathroom?
No. Bring it here.
The Prime Minister has everything organised.
But it's hard for me to go, with you guys here.
Then please hurry.
- What do we do? - We have to just give it a go.
Yuan Bao!
I don't know how to thank you for your thoughtful gift.
After tomorrow, you'll be my father-in-law.
It's the fortune of Deep Water Nation that we can be so close.
You're exaggerating, my King.
I ordered a plaque especially for you.
You've worked hard all these years.
[Sacrifice for the Nation]
Sacrifice oneself?
For the nation?
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Please, rise.
Yuan Bao truly understands me.
He's so excited for the ceremony tomorow.
That stupid hamster. Of all times to be lazy.
Your owner's in big trouble.

Godfather.
- Is everything prepared? - Yes.
Where is Yun'er?
Did you forget? You already organised for Miss Yun'er and the Madam to leave the city.
They should arrive in Sweet District within 2 or 3 days.
Reporting!
Prime Minister, the person we were looking for, is ready.
- Watch him closely. - Yes.
You may leave.
I just had my fortune told.
It was very auspicious.
It seems even the Heavens are looking after me.
Remember, bring this person tomorrow.
I want to let that Xuanyuan Min have a look. See what he says.
Yes, Godfather. Heaven helps good people.
Of course Heaven will look after you.
But Godfather, why do you choose to revolt on the day of the Royal Wedding?
If it's just to kiil Xuanyuan Min, I wouldn't need to be so meticulous.
But there's also that crowd of old officials.
As long as they're around. My heart can't be at ease.
Zhang Henian, Marquis Sea Hut: Chen Yi, General Ethics: Zhao Shuo,
Capture Barbarian Department Head: Wang Deshan, all these people
have never been happy with me.
We'll use this opportunity tomorrow.
Get rid of them all.
But godfather, I had a look at the guest list for tomorrow.
There's thousands of people.
There'll definitely be collateral damage.
I've been waiting for this moment for so many years.
Tomorrow. All those against me, will be killed.
Even those with me, who stand in my way,
will also be removed.
Godfather, rest easy. It will be the last time.
Good knife.
The Lady Yuwen becomes Queen.
A public festival for her coronation ceremony.
Why have we stopped again?
This is the rules, my Lady.
The coronation of the Queen,
needs to be blessed by the gods every ten steps.
It also thanks the gods, for giving Deep Water Nation
a virtuous, docile, beautiful,
- kind and moral Queen. - Alright, alright alright.
How many more customs are there?
The wedding ceremony today has three sections: the Coronation, the Greeting and the Nuptials
We've only just started the Coronation ceremony.
We'll go to the Queen's residence Forever Excellent Palace Hall to read the edict.
Then we'll take the new Queen to greet her throne.
- Then read the coronation scripture and accept coronation gifts. - Just go.
Prefect Xiping's assistance of the Prime Minister today will not be forgotten.
I'll go report to the Prime Minister now. The Prefect's army is heading to the city immediately.
Stinky hamster. It's my wedding day yet you're the one all dressed up.
I called you for ages yesterday and you didn't come.
Yet you know it's me in this palanquin today.
But of course, there's nothing your owner doesn't know.
If that's the case, then good. I worried for nothing yesterday.
You have something for me?
The day of the Grand Wedding will be the time of great chaos.
Quickly finish the wedding rites. Once I call you bitch,
you must leave. The faster, the better.
This was written by your master?
Okay. I got it. Quickly hide.
When will we arrive?
Lady, don't rush.
You are the queen of Deep Water Nation. You mustn't fret.
How many more bowing rituals must we still do?
Look. For kneeling and bowing throughout this journey,
we still must spend a few more hours.
I can't wait anymore.
Lady, you mustn't!
Spread my decree. Skip all unnecessary and elaborate etiquette today!
Rush towards the main palace hall. Whoever dares to delay me, I'll punish him!
Run!
Lady!
Lady, this is against customs! Lady!
Quickly chase her!
Quickly prepare. Queen is here.
Queen is here?
Greetings, Queen.
Don't bother with it.
Quickly read your customary scripture.
Use just once incense time. If you're unable to finish reading it, I'll punish you.
A woman from the Changning's Yuwen clan, the goddaughter of Prime Minister Qi Zhen,
an aristocratic family of the Zhongxiang County, a clan endowed with favorable spirits.
innately gentle and composed, refined and follows etiquette,
respectful and with wonderful demeanor, amicable and with high morals,
kindness has become her second nature, endowed with virtuous disposition...
One incense time is about to end!
The Lady from Changning's Yuwen clan is being bestowed as the leader of the six palaces.
That's all!
Accept the decree!
What's going on?
What's going on here?
So preposterous... This is so absurd!
It's not yet the auspicious time. Why were we all asked to come to the main palace hall already?
Based on usual customs, they should first make an offering to the heaven in Qinsheng (sacred royal) Gates first
and then go to Chengming (inheriting the light) Palace Hall to receive the congratulations of different nation's envoys.
- That's right. - Lastly, they will come to this main palace hall to do the title conferring ceremony.
How come they just directly went to the third step?
This is all messed up.
His Majesty is here!
Greetings, Your Majesty!
Let's start.
But Your Majesty...Queen is...
When I say start, you start.
How about you do this wedding then?
Yes.
The title conferring ceremony will now start! Start the music!
Stop!
The auspicious time hasn't arrived yet. Why start the music?
Are you trying to change the ancestral rules too?
Prime Minister, I made that order.
Your Majesty, aren't you being too impatient? Today is the title conferring grand ceremony.
Queen isn't here. Who are you conferring a title to?
Queen will be here soon.
Queen's carriage is proceeding in a poised manner and had to make several offertory bows along the way,
I fear that she'll need an hour more to reach this place.
The Queen is here!
This...how come Queen came out on her own?
For several hundreds of years, Deep Water Nation has never seen such an absurd matter.
Your Majesty, I was late. Did I miss the auspicious time?
Whatever time Queen comes is the auspicious time.
Sprinkle the sacred water!
- Godfather. - What time is it?
It's still 2 hours before the third quarter of si hour(around 10 am).
They more or less should have arrived.
But since this wedding proceeded ahead of time, I fear that the reinforcement army from Heavenly Fiend Nation hasn't arrived yet.
This...
Delay it. Delay everyone here to stay until the third quarter of si hour.
Immediately call that person over.
Yes.
Bow!
Your Majesty!
Prime Minister, what is it now?
I fear that we cannot proceed with the wedding yet.
Prime Minister, how bold of you to say that?
His Majesty is the ruler of Deep Water Nation.
Other than the previous emperor, who dares to stop his wedding?
Could it be that Prime Minister is claiming to have been possessed by the previous emperor?
General Guide (Return of Morals) is right.
The king has power bestowed by the gods. How can an ordinary folk assume to be superior than him?
What if...
...the person up there isn't of Xuanyuan blood?
Those words are punishable by execution!
I'm loyal to the
Xuanyuan royal family. The heaven and earth can prove it!
Since I started work for the government,
I've always put the nation's interest as priority in everything that I did.
But today...
...if I knew that person up there is fake
and I still will offer him the customary bows of respect,
hence, trampling this official court uniform of Deep Water Nation,
that better fits as a crime punishable by execution!
