~ Episode 48 ~
Say it. Why are you here?
You know this. You want revenge?
Revenge, why would I take revenge on you?
Don't you already know how I feel about you?
If you didn't come for revenge
then please leave, the further the better.
If you don't leave, then I will.
Brother Yue Listen up,
I didn't kill you because the crimes of the parents should not be put on their children.
The one who deserves death is Qi Zhen but that doesn't mean I will go lightly on him
nor does it mean I will accept you.
But you saved me in Chill Palace Hall that day.
Brother Yue, I know you care about me in your heart.
Before, we would fly a kite on the mountain at the back of our house.
When you didn't want me to follow you,
you would lie to me and say that you're going to review your homework.
When you couldn't stop me from crying anymore,
you would beg your teacher to give me a lot of candied man.
I know you still remember.
Brother Yue.
I father committed a mistake. Rather than bearing grudge against him,
why don't you just let me make up for his mistakes?
I don't want you to live with only revenge.
I want to do something for you.
♫ Jump and hide in this mundane world once ♫
♫ There is always no escape from fate ♫
♫ You're looking at my face ♫
♫ So I've removed the sound from a sea of people ♫
♫ Leave a kind of unruly heartbeat ♫
I've belittled you too much.
You confused Yun Hen and made him forget the revenge that he should be seeking.
Now...you want to confuse me too,
make me forget everything, and just let Qi Zhen do anything he wants with me, is that it?
Brother Yue, that's not true.
Leave.
♫ an isolated island ♫
♫ Changing mind and fluctuating only takes one second ♫
I'm not like that.
I'm not like that!
♫ is the remedy for heart ♫
These are all of my treasures.
They are all more valuable than the Palace.
One look and you'll live two hours longer,
you are already in luck since you get to see these.
I used to see all kinds of treasures when I used to serve the Crown Prince,
but what I saw in the past cannot compare to these treasures you have.
My treasures are not only valuable, but they are also rare and authentic.
But, these are not the only ones I have.
His Majesty, there must be another treasure here
or else, why would it be empty?
You are right, this spot shouldn't be empty.
I just had my eyes on a big treasure and it will arrive in a few days.
Big treasure?
So is it more valuable than the other ones here?
You can't compare it like that. The treasures here inside Chant Frost Watchtower
are each rare precious treasures in their own rights. Not one is better than the other.
Reporting!
- Your Majesty, Prince Eternal is here. - Quickly let him in.
Yes.
His Majesty, since Prince Eternal has urgent matters to report,
I will take my leave.
No need to be so cautious.
- Royal Brother. - Your Highness Prince Eternal.
How was it?
His Majesty, there seems to be more rare treasures over there,
can I go have a look with your permission?
You may go.
Be a little careful.
Why are you cowering to say it? How did the matter about that treasure go?
I couldn't get my hands on that treasure.
What?
We still lack some money.
Just get it from the inner palace.
Why, did they not let?
No,
it is just that there might not be enough money in the treasury.
There's no money in the treasury?
The money we have collect last year and the year before is definitely enough.
But since we expanded the Gold of Heaven Fiend, increased the defense of the Ice City Walls on the northern borders,
and we also spent some additional time in renovating the royal palace,
adding all these up, the royal treasury has long been depleted.
We even had used up some urgent fund.
- If we have still make too much expenditures, I fear that we might— - I don't want to hear these depressing words!
Are you guys just waiting around when the treasury has no money?
We just wait until next year Next year? I can't wait until next year.
I remember that the field taxes in Heaven Fiend is divided into north and south.
The north is 25:1, while in the south, it's 15:1.
Am I right? Change it.
Starting today, the north is 15:1, the south is 10:1.
Ha? The northern territories experiences extremely cold weather and sunlight is too short.
If we set such a huge field taxes, they won't be able to afford it!
The south has usually favored trading than agriculture. 10:1 tax is too heavy for them.
I've already expressed it very clearly.
As for the details on how to implement it, that's not my problem.
Go discuss it with the inner court. Whoever is unable to do it well,
- I'll punish him. - But...
There another idea.
Your Majesty, I think
the citizens don't have that much money to begin with.
They plant some crops just to make a living to feed their family.
If we still extort money from them, I fear...
...it will incite public discontent.
By then, we must spend more money to pacify them.
I feel that why don't we just arrest some corrupt officials,
not only can we get gold, it will also raise His Majesty's reputation by doing so.
Since commander has just been appointed,
you naturally don't understand yet internal government connections and affairs.
You said it too simply. Just randomly catching people will surely involve a relative and bring endless troubles.
I don't care how you do it
whether it's increasing the taxes or arresting people,
what I want are gold in our treasury.
Look. You all keep telling me these depressing words. Not one is pleasing to my ears.
Good thing there's a new officer here in the palace that didn't get infected with that stinky habit of yours.
Look, so clean and pleasing to the eye.
I then feel a bit more relaxed.
Commander!
Prince Eternal.
Commander is currently His Majesty's most favorite person.
No need to be that courteous.
Prince Heng, you're being too polite. Do you need anything from me?
It's not really something important.
I just feel that we seemed to have met
while in Megrez Imperial City.
When I was still in Megrez Imperial City,
I was always by Crown Prince Wuji's side.
It's not strange for you to have seen me.
It's just that I've been busy with official affairs then,
hence, I didn't notice Prince Eternal.
I actually remember a person that looked so much like you.
It's just that she is a girl.
Girl?
Does Prince Heng mean that I'm too effeminate
and unable to bear the responsibility of a commander?!
I dare not...
I just want to clarify this matter,
hence, I especially came to ask you about it.
No need for that.
Maybe there are indeed such coincidences in this world.
Prince Heng, you have gotten it wrong.
When I see His Highness Crown Prince Wuji next time, I can ask him in your behalf.
Thank you then, Mister Jiang.
I take my leave.
If we continue like this, someone might die.
We've been traveling nonstop for several days, braving the wind and dew.
There are a few households here. Let's go in, eat some meat, and have some good rest.
We're able to endure it, but Yalan Zhu's body can't anymore.
But General, it's easy to get exposed like this.
I don't care anymore. Resting is more important.
Here. Everyone, have some rice.
Excuse me. The cured meat is here.
Start now. Here, drink some wine.
The cured meat is here.
I heard that you haven't eaten well for a few days.
My wife especially cooked some cured meat.
Generals, please try it. It's very delicious.
Mister, we didn't bring much money with us. Please accept this.
- You mustn't... - Please accept it.
You mustn't do this. Anyone who arrives is a guest.
We'll serve you whatever we have, as long as General won't mind it.
Our place might be poor, but we have good values. If I get your money
and it gets out, my co-villagers will surely laugh at me.
Just eat them while their hot.
Brothers, eat more! We have enough for everyone!
Thank you, Mister.
Commander,
this house was ordered to be built by a tea merchant from Lingdong.
He used the best materials and hired the best craftsmen. Talking about solely earning the favor of His Majesty,
Commander, you are the first one for the past 10 years.
His Majesty ordered that we must arrange a residence for you and he especially ordered
that the location must be good,
well-ventilated and spacious. That you are able to comfortably live in it.
I will remember the good graces of the royal court.
Hope Eunuch can put in more good words about me from now on.
Then, thank you for your reward.
Going back to it, Commander has earned the great favor of His Majesty.
You'll surely enjoy rapid success in your career very soon.
I still have to rely on you to promote me more in the future.
Come out.
Commander now is the most favorite person of Zhan Nancheng.
You're always by the king's side.
It's getting harder to get a chance to see you.
But this secretly meeting by candlelight and thin silk curtain in your room
is quite interesting too.
Why didn't you just hide under the bed? I feel that is more suitable.
Really?
- Why don't we do it together? - You...
Let me tell you this.
Today, Zhan Beiheng saw me.
I feel that he might foil our plan.
Zhan Beiheng indeed has seen you.
But if he's smart, he should just keep it to himself.
Looks like Your Highness Crown Prince has already made plans.
Presently, this seemingly dangerous situation is our best chance.
I've once said that Zhan Nancheng is a petty person
and very suspicious. He thinks that everyone wants to harm him.
But this Zhan Beiheng kept staying by his side.
I heard from Zhuzhu before that
Zhan Nancheng is very afraid of someone usurping his throne,
hence, he has already killed most of his brothers.
This Zhan Beiheng being able to stand by his side must be a very cautious person.
This past years, the state affairs of the royal court of Heaven Fiend was all being managed by Zhan Beiheng.
Being able to stay in such a high position and remain safe,
this Prince Eternal is similarly hard to deal with like Zhan Nancheng.
But this time, he most likely is on the edge of his seat already.
Fifth Older Brother, you have a problem?
None.
A person's heart has a definite size.
After hiding too much things in it, it surely will feel tired.
Hence, you should put some of these out every once in a while.
This way, you will feel more relaxed too.
You also won't keep tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
You're overthinking.
Before, when I still can see,
I kept being unable to understand a lot of things and people in this world.
It's actually better now.
There's just darkness in front of me, but I actually am able to see more clearly.
Everything now just goes past these eyes and gets imprinted in my brain.
Like those wind and fog, I can see them very clearly.
But in this trip, I can also see how sad you are.
Just like...a dark night where the sun never rises.
The more I approach you, the sadder you become.
You can really see it very clearly.
But I can't see what's making you sad.
Is it the danger up ahead?
I don't care how dangerous it is.
But to bring trouble to everyone because of me...
We all rose from military ranks.
It's just normal to go out and battle.
But I never liked fighting.
Because once you start fighting, there will be people dying.
Now, just to go against my older brother,
Heaven Fiend will suffer the flames of war again.
Just for my selfish reasons,
I have to exchange the lives of so many people.
I can't bear to, but I can't just sit and wait for death
and watch Zhan Nancheng kill those innocent people.
When the north and south tribes of Qiongye went to war, my father was also reluctant to fight.
He then led our tribesmen into the mountain to hide.
He told me then
that doing that is to preserve the lives of more people.
But a lot of people then are saying that he couldn't dare to send out an army,
that he was a coward behind his back.
But my father never cared about what others say.
He told me that a person should be himself.
You must have your own soul and persistence.
As long as you're conscience is clear, then you can stand upright and be dauntless.
Fifth Older Brother, you have your own choice and circumstances.
Just for a grand undertaking, it can't be helped for a lot of people to be sacrificed,
but there will never be anyone who will die in vain. Isn't it?
Since that's the case, why don't we use this opportunity to eliminate Zhan Beiheng?
That's right. For a person like Zhan Nancheng,
as long as you place a seed of doubt in his heart, it surely will bloom and bear fruit.
Indeed. It was him who delivered himself to us. He can't blame us.
What are you worried about?
Ha?
You can't be worried about me, right?
I'm already adept with the ability to win Zhan Nancheng's favor since I was still in Mt. Mystic Soul.
With me by your side, there is indeed nothing much to worry about.
I'm just thinking about Zhan Beiye's matter.
In this journey,
he still will face a lot of difficulties. Don't know if he'll be able to endure them.
He indeed will meet a lot of difficulties.
But I don't think he'll be at a loss at what to do.
What I'm worried about is he's unable to get past that obstacle in his heart.
Zhan Beiye is kind by nature.
He indeed isn't suitable to bear scheming and manipulative matters.
He has no choice.
If he is just a general, he surely will defeat all his nation's enemies and be remembered for a lifetime.
But he got born into the royal family.
No matter what your nature is or if you're willing or not,
there are certain personal problems that only you can resolve.

I don't know whether or not I should rebel.
Don't know if these matters that will affect other people,
can be considered great righteousness.
You don't need to think so clearly about everything.
As long as you believe it is right,
there definitely won't be a mistake.
Fifth Brother, thank you.
Really, thank you.
Thank you for saying so much today.
I'm really happy and fulfilled.
If you can say this much to me from now on,
how great would that be?
Quickly! Over here! Water!
Come, quickly!
Wait here, don't go out.
My grains, those are all my grains.
They're gone just like that.
Villagers, we meet again.
Lord, pleas just leave.
We have already explained that the mountain has only those few acres.
The whole village is depending on them to eat. We can't sell them to you.
That's right. We won't sell it.
We did not come here to buy land.
I... This—
A few days ago, we came with money to buy land.
You refused.
But the wood materials that His Majesty wants for the floor of his court
can only be found here.
You say, if we can't complete our tasks,
What good result can you get from that?
But we must eat.
It's such a large fire,
someone must have intentionally done it.
Unruly citizens committing arson, what punishment must he be given?
We are here to put out the fire!
Unreasonable excuses.
Men, these unruly citizens set fire on the mountain and has committed a grave crime.
- Arrest them! - Lord, please have mercy!
An oppressive tyrant...
Take Yalan Zhu. Quickly leave.
Prince Fierce.
General, once we cross that depression in front, we'll be in the Great Ice Land.
General, you leave first. I'll lead some men to kill them!
Let's go together.
How come it's like this?
Your Highness, there is no road ahead.
There's just a few of you. It's better that you surrender now.
Protect Yalan Zhu.
Don't worry.
Fifth Brother!
Why?
Why did you come protect me like this?
I won't let you be in danger.
And I won't let you get hurt.
Promise me that you won't do this again.
I must be the one to protect you from now on. Promise me.
Okay.
Your Highness.
Your Majesty, the Ice Land Tiger has appeared.
You may go hunting.
Alright.
Listen well,
The Ice Land Tiger is my prey. No one must steal it from me.
I've never seen a real Ice Land Tiger.
Thanks to Your Majesty, I'm able to see one now.
I heard that if you get the chance to catch a real Ice Land Tiger,
it's an auspicious sign given by the heaven.
Of course. This Ice Land Tiger is very rare.
That fur is worth a lot. Turning it into an overcoat
is way more warmer than wearing numerous cotton-padded clothes.
Your Majesty, the Ice Land Tiger!
Let's go and hunt the Ice Land Tiger!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Fuyao's Court Team @ Viki.com
Charge!
Your Majesty.
We're here for him. We don't intend to harm anyone else.
Move aside and we'll spare your life!
Don't kill me. I'm open to any deal.
I'm the commander of the king's bodyguards. If you want to kill him,
get my permission first.
Your Majesty!
Withdraw!
Favored subject, you're hurt.
This is just a minor wound. I'm fine.
Your Majesty, are you alright?
I'm fine.
Your Highness.
Get up and talk.
We've completed our mission.
How is Fuyao?
Your Highness, don't worry. We just left some superficial wounds
on Ms. Fuyao's left arm. She will be fine.
Also, we've received news just earlier that the Heaven Fiend King has already released a decree to confer Miss Fuyao as Heaven Fiend Generalissimo Black Tortoise.
She's allowed to move around and serve by the king's side.
Okay. Protect her well.
Yes.
Commander, this Ice Honey of Heaven Fiend is a rare object.
Only a small box gets delivered in the palace every year.
His Majesty was afraid that you'll find this medicine bitter so he asked me to put some ice honey in it.
Hurry.
I'm serving Lord your medicine.
I won't drink it anymore.
I never loved drinking medicine since I was little.
You mustn't. If you don't drink your medicine, how can your wound heal?
Let me just die then.
How can I bear that?
- Your Majesty! - Greetings, Your Majesty.
You have a wound. No need to kneel.
Come.
Leave now.
My heart aches for your wound.
Come. I'll personally feed you.
Your Majesty...
It's my duty to serve you.
Favored subject, just drink it.
Once you drink the medicine, your wound will heal.
Your Majesty, there was never anyone who treated me like this.
How can I bear to accept such treatment?
If not because you risked your life today to save me, I fear that I would have been in a grave state now.
Those useless people,
each once currying favor in front of me every day.
But when I'm in danger, don't know where they all have went to.
I finally understood who is sincere and who is just faking it.
This time, you achieved merit for saving my life. If you want any reward, just say it.
Your Majesty, you already conferred me the title of Generalissimo Black Tortoise. I'm already contented.
It's just a an empty title. I can casually give you 7 to 8 general titles,
but these don't count as a heavy reward.
Think about it. What else do you like?
I...
I indeed have something that I like. But...
Just say it.
Your Majesty, I have been training martial arts since I was little. I only want to loyally serve the government.
While on the horse, I want to defeat all the state's enemies. While off the horse, I want to do my utmost duty for the government.
Now, Your Majesty has already hired me to be a part of the Gold of Heaven Fiend.
It's a blessing that I've cultivated for several reincarnations.
It's just that even though this general position only by name is comfortable,
I kept feeling that I'm disappointing this armor of mine.
Hence, if Your Majesty thinks highly of me,
I want the power to command the Gold of Heaven Fiend
so I can serve you with my utmost best.
You saved me, so you want the military power to command Gold of Heaven Fiend?
I just want to accomplish merits in your behalf.
Is that true?
Your Majesty, don't you trust me?
Of course, you are not to be trusted.
Your Highness Prince Eternal.
Royal Brother.
I already told you.
This person is very suspicious. Look, he indeed wasn't able to hide his fox tail.
Prince Eternal, what do you mean?
You are not some secret guard of the Crown Prince.
You also are not here to seek for some official position.
You are a spy that Zhangsun Wuji sent.
Your Majesty, Prince Eternal is making slanderous accusations against me.
Royal Younger Brother, you have always been cautious in your actions and speech. To say such things, do you have any evidence?
Royal Brother is wise.
This is a letter that the messenger of Prince Assist has just sent. Please read it.
A few months ago, I was ordered by you to go to the imperial city.
It was initially just a secret meeting between the royal clans of the nations within the Five Regions. Who would have thought
that I will witness a farce between a true and fake Plough Princess.
Zhangsun Pingrong wrote this?
Indeed.
The first time I saw this commander, I just felt that she looked familiar.
Only until that day in Chant Frost Watchtower that I suddenly realized
that I've seen her before in Megrez Imperial City.
You are not Jiang Feng.
You are a wanted criminal of the imperial city,
Fuyao, am I right?
Your Highness Prince Eternal, you really made such painstaking effort.
You even fabricated a letter from Prince Assist.
I'm just a nameless person. Why must you give me so much attention?
What he said was all true?
Of course not.
It's already at this time, why try so hard to still struggle? Just admit it now.
Maybe Royal Brother will still spare your life.
Prince Eternal, if you want to kill me, why must you resort to this?
For the crime of lying to the king, I won't be the only one who will want you executed.
Prince Eternal, you racked your brains and kept laying schemes on me,
wasn't it all just for those military weapons? Now, you want to kill me, was it to silence me?
What nonsense are you saying? What weapons? I don't understand what you're saying.
Oh? What do you mean?
Your Majesty, in terms of committing a mistake, I indeed committed one.
My mistake was knowing too much and stepping on Prince Eternal's painful secret.
You...
Continue saying it.
His Highness Prince Eternal kept saying that he once saw me. That is indeed true.
Before, I has always been by Crown Prince Wuji's side.
Including that night, when Prince Eternal came to meet Crown Prince, I was also by his side.
Bullshit! Full of lies! When did I privately meet with Crown Prince?!
Why are you getting agitated? Don't I know to discern if it's true or fake?
Royal Brother, I never left the royal palace by even a step during those days that I was in Megrez.
The more I didn't privately meet with anyone. All these are slanders!
Younger Brother Heng, don't get mad. Let her finish.
That night, Prince Eternal suddenly visited.
Crown Prince didn't also know why he came, so he was very surprised. It was that time
that Prince Eternal expressed his loyalty towards Crown Prince.
He said he was willing to provide information to Upper Yang Palace in exchange for just one request.
You...you are lying!
Younger Brother Heng, if you're upright, there's no need to fear if your shadow is bent. Why are you getting agitated?
That time, Prince Eternal...
What Prince Eternal wanted that time was the royal throne of Heaven Fiend.
Bullshit!
I'm innocent.
Younger Brother Heng has served me for so many years. He is a trusted aide of my government.
To say that he is disloyal, how can I easily believe it just basing on your words?
Do you know what crime it is to slander a member of the royal family?
Whether it's just slander, you will know in the future.
If my memory serves me right, not long ago, did Prince Eternal marry a Madam Jiu?
I know that.
This Madam Jiu is from a brothel.
Because she was able to earn Prince Eternal's love, hence, she was able to leave that troublesome place.
It's just that coincidentally, the day that he married this Madam Jiu,
was just one day before Crown Prince Wuji arrived.
How could there be such a coincidence in this world?
That's right. The person who was passing the information was this Madam Jiu.
She was just a singer. She has never met any Crown Prince.
I found her very beautiful, that's why, I married her. How could she be implicated with a crime like that?
It's easy to clear this matter. Just call that Madam Jiu of yours here and interrogate her.
Your Majesty, from what I heard, this Madam Jiu...
...suddenly died 3 days ago in Prince Eternal's Manor. Her cause of death is very strange.
It must be because she knew too much and got silenced.
You're full of lies! I killed her because...
...it was because she's having an affair with my servant.
I couldn't endure it so I had her beaten to death.
Now, the person has already died. A dead person can't be a witness.
Of course, Prince Eternal can say whatever you like.
Royal Brother, everything I said were true. If I said any lie, I'll have a tragic death.
May Royal Brother give me justice.
But in this matter, there is indeed no more witness. It's indeed hard for me to resolve it.
But before this Madam Jiu died, she left a very important evidence.
Say it.
Madam Jiu once revealed to Crown Prince
that Prince Eternal has been hiring soldiers these past years using the money of the nation's treasury.
Before, Prince Eternal once told Your Majesty that the treasury is very short in money.
Your Majesty even ordered for him to investigate some corrupt officials.
That was already some time ago.
Your Majesty, were you able to see any money?
Royal Brother, I indeed went to search those people, but I never found any gold or silver.
They claim that bandits infiltrated their house and took away all valuable objects—
Bandits have infiltrated?
How could such a coincidence happen? Happening before the search, these bandits are really well-informed.
Your Majesty, it must be just a coincidence.
Royal Brother, I'm innocent!
Whether you're innocent or not, we can just go to your manor and look.
