Queen of Plough Nation!
♫ I don't know about the migration of snow geese, voyage of the fishes or the loneliness of plants, mountain and water ♫
♫ Following my own heart, walk forward step by step ♫
♫ Following my own heart, walk forward step by step. Sadness, cowardice and broken heart brought me a new life ♫
♫ I'm able to take it with no fear ♫
♫ I can’t apprehend why fate departs from my initial intention ♫
♫ Life and death, come and go, are all like duckweed ♫
♫ I risk my all in exchange for a peace of mind ♫
♫ Overcome all the difficulties in the way. Sweep away all obstacles ♫
♫ Even if I don't know how to pull out the sword of time, ♫
♫ How the wind of fate blows, how a hero becomes a legend, ♫
♫ For the struggles that thorns give me, I'll give them back to him with ganashing of my teeth ♫
♫ I'll take over the warfare without a single word ♫
♫ Even if I don't know how to get down the horse of time, ♫
♫ How colors in one's dream exaggerate, how branches flourish beautifully ♫
♫ For the world that love and hate grant me. I ask him to treat it as an easy grace ♫
♫ I write down worries with blood as ink. I'll stay ♫
Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Phoenix Lead Pavilion swears our allegiance to you until death and swears to protect Plough Nation.
Quickly rise.
Technically speaking, you're my cousin.
You are the first friend I've met here in Plough Nation.
When there's no one around, just speak casually.
Stop with those 'Your Majesty' and 'your subject' thing.
- This... - Listen to me.
Okay. I'll remember.
That...we were still unable to find Folian.
I heard that when she escaped out of the palace,
she was in a crazy state.
She probably won't be able to run that far from here. Just send more people to find her.
Yes.
She also is quite pitiful.
How will we handle the remaining allies of Folian then?
Just follow the rules of the inner palace. I'm not very knowledgeable about it.
- You decide. - Yes.
Wait!
What kind of punishment will those remnant allies suffer?
Based on Plough Nation laws, it's the Combing Death Penalty.
Spread my word and remove those Combing Death Penalties.
But...
There are so many people who have died here in Plough Nation.
No blood must be shed anymore.
I'll go do it now.
Now that you've become the queen of Plough Nation, how does it feel
for thousands of citizens bowing before you when you look out into the world?
Just wait here.
Let me tell you...
...that jumping up and down up here is more comfortable than sitting down.
Before, I kept thinking that the person sitting in this throne
had to be cautious and careful everyday just to preserve his/her power.
How tiring is that? But as if enchanted by some curse,
they'd rather die from exhaustion and continue sitting on this throne.
Why? Is the view up here different?
Let me ask you then, what did you see?
I saw foul wind, rain of blood,
and countless responsibilities.
I feel that
this seat should be given to capable ones for the curse of power to be broken.
Humans would always be painstakingly obsessed with obtaining and move forward because of it.
They hardly realize that what they will obtain has been near them all this time.
You never wanted royal power, wealth, or fame,
but you have no choice but to accept the arrangement of the heaven.
I want you to forever become
a open, upright, and carefree person, just like the first time I saw you.
I want you to know that maybe life is indeed vast and long,
but there are some persistence and memory that will never change.
Ten years, 20 years,
a lifetime, it will forever be the first day.
Her Majesty has issued a decree. The decree reads,
Fuyao is initially a person from the mountains. She has no desire for power,
no intentions to be queen, and has no talent to govern a state and maintain its peace.
Being blessed by the heaven and earth,
she was able to obtain the throne that has been passed on in the Feng clan of Plough Nation for generations.
Plough Nation has always been a crucial state of the Five Regions.
Its governance is also very important for the other nations.
How can I bear such a huge duty by myself? Starting today,
I'm removing the sole governance of Plough Nation by the queen.
Talented subjects will be chosen who will serve as censors.
We will form a 7-man state body that will participate in governance, in cooperation with the five bureaus.
Mutually assisting and existing, managing state affairs together.
That's all!
It wasn't easy for you to be a queen, and you just yielded it like that to others?
Power and position has never been my desire.
What I can do is let capable talents bring blessings to the citizens.
I even was hoping that you'll grant me a high official position. You're so not a friend.
You want to be a government official?
That depends if you have the talent for it.
Seriously, I can't even go through the backdoor.
Your Majesty, the guests you've invited have arrived.
- Let them in. - Yes.
- Go and call Wuji to come here. - Okay...
Grand Teacher.
Do you know where this is?
This is the place where ancestral teacher Chang Qingzi trained.
This place is very mystical. It gathers all the spiritual energies of the whole Five Regions.
It is also Firmament's...restricted area.
Do you know why I brought here?
This lotus has detected that the female demon will be opening her fourth seal soon.
She's getting nearer.
And all of us can't do anything about it. Only you can destroy her.
Look.
Thousands of years ago, Five Regions was in a great war. People were plunged into great misery.
Everything started with Di Feitian.
It's Di Feitian.
Ancestral Teacher Chang Qingzi used the Mystic Spirit Leaf that can condense the energy that he has cultivated for a lifetime
to restrict the primordial spirit of Di Feitian and turned the tides around.
We should leave.
In the past, Chang Qingzi used the Mystic Spirit Leaf to defeat the rebel army.
We all thought that Di Feidian has lost and will surely die.
But who knew that some of his remnant blood coagulated to form the five-colored stone.
After thousands of years, if the female demon wearing the five-colored stone
remove the five seals inside her, he then will be able to be revived.
By then, the world will be doomed.
Tell me, how can Firmament allow her to be alive?
That...
I told you that you and Chang Qingzi are from a common origin.
You are the chosen one of his Mystic Spirit Leaf. This is your destined chain.
From the day that you were born, your fate has already been written.
A fate that you, me, and even Ancestral Teacher Chang Qingzi couldn't change.
Chang Qingzi sacrificed his personal reluctance in exchange for thousands of years of peace in Five Regions.
Tell me, do you think he didn't have any internal struggle and discontentment?
But he knew that since he has a power that's superior to others, a respected reputations that's beyond others,
he can only bear the important duty that ordinary people can't.
With the citizens of the Five Regions facing disaster,
he has no right to think about his personal interest.
A thousand year ago, the only person who can kill Di Feitian was Chang Qingzi.
And now, the only person who can stop Di Feitian...
...is you.
You think I couldn't see the whereabouts of the female demon?
You think I don't know about your selfish intentions?
You think that there can still be some best of both worlds method
that can both save the world and preserve the life of the female demon?!
On one side is that female demon. On the other, all lives in this world.
Not choosing to kill one person means that you're choosing to kill millions of people!
Are you going to destroy the whole Five Regions just because of her?!
Older Sister Fuyao!
Quickly tell me. How did you suddenly become the queen of Plough Nation?
I heard that you even found your real parents.
Hurry...quickly tell me.
Fuyao is now the queen of Plough Nation. So many people are looking. Give her some respect.
Just ask her about it later.
Zhan Beiye, when did you become so gentle and considerate?
Did I?
My Fifth Older Brother has always been warm and gentle. You just didn't know.
Heaven Fiend Nation congratulates Your Majesty Queen for ascending to the throne.
Heaven Fiend is willing to an alliance of trade and reciprocity.
To congratulate Your Majesty's ascension to the throne, the King of Heaven Fiend has prepared 72 kinds of gifts. Hope you'll accept it.
Thank you then, King of Heaven Fiend.
I heard that someone disguised as me, bluffed and deceived the people here in Plough Nation.
Shouldn't Your Majesty arrest this person and punish her for her crimes?
Mr. Zong, long time no see.
The seals of the female demon is being removed one by one.
Once she has completely broken away from the binding of the seals, it will be the death of Five Regions!
You have no more time. Wuji, you must kill her.
Only you can. It must be you!
Grand Teacher, why?
How come it's me?!
You could have chosen to tell this to someone else,
but why must you tell me?! Why must you let me do such a thing?!
Because this is the ill fate that you and that female demon are destined to have!
A destined ill-fate!
Are you going to destroy the whole Five Regions
just for her?!
You have not much time left.
Kill her! Kill her!
Crown Prince!
Crown Prince, the important guests are here. Older Sis Fuyao is asking that you quickly go there!
Okay.
You go first. I'll follow in a while.
Crown Prince, are you alright?
I'm fine.
Okay then. Quickly follow.
- Do you like it? - Yes.
How long has it been?
You still eventually gave Qi Yun the Dragon Scale Armor.
That item is useless for me. I'm asking about you.
I've noticed since earlier that your breathing isn't smooth and something is restricting your inner energy.
That doesn't happen in just 1 or 2 days. When did it start?
If it wasn't you, who else can hurt me?
You...
Don't waste your energy.
This isn't an illness or a internal injury.
You won't be able to help me.
Could it be...it's Firmament?!
The Truth Leaf Reprimand Technique, Grand Teacher is already lenient with me.
No matter how deep your inner energy is, it's no match against the magical techniques of Firmament. Do you still need me to remind you that?
I know.
If...it's really like what I'm thinking,
then aren't you giving out too much?
What are you thinking?
Prosperity is the start of decay.
We both know that this peace in front of us now was obtained in exchange of a bloody battle.
But as long as we're able to obtain a bit of peace,
even if we have to use a lot of darkness just to get that one bit of peace,
it's still worthy for us to do our best to achieve it.
Good morning.
Why are you looking at me?
Can't get enough.
I'll let you look at me for a lifetime then.
You're the one who said that.
What did I say?
You're now the queen of Plough Nation. You should know that a ruler never jokes around.
I remember very well every word and phrase that you've said.
I don't remember.
Accompany me to return to Megrez to see Royal Father.
Reporting! Urgent report from Megrez!
Urgent report from the Imperial City. Prince Virtue that have disappeared for 3 months
suddenly appeared in the border of Megrez on the 6th of the month. An army of 300,000 men immediately gathered.
They have strong soldiers and horses, adequate food supply.
The number of their army is still increasing at this time. Based on our intel,
Prince Virtue has already contacted his old subordinates within the imperial city.
At the same time, has won over several royal relatives and despotic gentries. Without spending any men,
he was able to conquer thousand li of land via negotiations. Prince Virtue is leading the whole army
and is pressing on our borders. The arrow has been fitted to the string, just accumulating strength to take off.
He seems to be aiming for a comeback and press on the imperial city.
Speed has always been Prince Virtue's best tactics. He can conquer in a sweeping manner and is an expert in traveling lightly and silently to set up ambushes.
If we allow their army to keep progressing, in less than 10 days,
the defending army will surely get defeated. The survival of the imperial city will then be determined overnight.
Currently, General Youlei and Prime Minister Duan are the ones heading the state affairs,
but they still haven't come up with a good strategy. The whole imperial court
is enveloped with fear. This matter is urgent. We all must return to the imperial city immediately to provide support.
Will patiently wait for Young Lord's great strategy that can open up a path, gain us victory, eliminate the danger, and return peace.
There's trouble in Megrez. I must quickly go back.
I'll accompany you.
No, you just ascended to the throne. I can't let you...
Didn't you ask me to accompany you back to Megrez to see your Royal Father? I'm agreeing to it.
Okay.
The new reign in Heaven Fiend has just been established. I can't say that our armaments are adequate,
but having one more soldier, horse, and weapon will be a great help already.
As long as you need it, they are ready anytime.
Thank you in advance.
Okay.
Older Sister Fuyao, you two must be careful. When we return, we'll quickly mobilize the army.
You must tell us if you need any help. We'll immediately go there.
Don't worry. With Wuji around, nothing bad will happen.
Older Sis Fuyao, you're really not taking me with you?
Just stay here and be good. Wait for our return.
I also can't be of any help for what will happen from here on. You two take care.
Is that giving us blessings? We'll accept it then.
Everyone, we'll take our leave.
- Take care. - Take care.
Everyone, don't worry.
I'm here to deliver a warmer for Your Highness.
The wind is cold near the window. May Your Highness take good care of your health.
Your Highness, Prince Virtue has sent men to escort you out of the palace.
What did you say?
Replying to Your Highness, I was sent by Prince Virtue to fetch you.
I don't know what you're saying. Leave.
Your Highness, I was really sent by Prince.
I don't care who sent you. Stop testing me.
Now, I don't trust anyone.
Your Highness, please look.
Your Highness, do you recognize this item?
Jialang... How come you have this?
Replying to Your Highness, it was Prince who sent me to deliver that to you.
Jialang... It's really you.
Where is he?
Prince is currently doing well. He especially ordered me and other people to sneak into the palace,
then find an opportunity to rescue you out of here.
Your Highness, you must believe me.
My heart isn't stone. It can't be transferred.
My heart isn't a mat that you can just roll up.
Were those...
...taught by him?
Prince said that if I recite these to you,
you surely will believe me.
Currently, all the guards of this Pure Mist Palace Hall has been deployed someplace else.
Chances come and go very fast. If we miss this moment, it will already be very hard for you
to go out of the palace.
Where are we going?
To Jiangbei (north bank of the river). Prince has set up a garrison there, with his sword pointing at the imperial city.
A war will be starting soon.
What did you say? Zhangsun Jia is rebelling?
Your Highness, don't you know?
He's serious...
He was able to do what he promised.
You will know about the details once you see Prince.
Presently, it's better that we hurry in leaving the palace.
With Prince Virtue rebelling,
who in the government will be facing him?
Who did Zhangsun Jiong send, do you know?
I heard that Crown Prince will be returning soon.
Wuji?! He's coming back?!
Yes.
No, I can't go with you. No,
I'm going to find Wuji. I have to tell him...
I must tell him...!
Your Highness! Your Highness!
The rebel army are coming?
Yes.
The military report 3 days ago stated that the rebel army is still in Zexian, 200 li from here.
This morning, they are only just 30 li from now, just separated from us by a river.
100,000 advancing army that are determined to kill the enemy. I fear that...
I fear that they will attack our city gates anytime now.
Informing Your Majesty, I heard that the rebel army was swift in their advance. Along the way, they didn't rob or kill
and instead distributed provisions to earn the citizens' support.
Their wolf-like ambitions are so obvious.
From the looks of it now, actively attacking or waiting for the rebel army to make their move
have each their pros and cons. As to what to decide, may Your Majesty guide us.
Wuji should be back soon.
Quickly send word that Young Lord is back.
Yes.
The day when Prince Virtue escaped, His Majesty sent a huge number of people to search and capture him, but Prince Virtue was well-prepared.
There were no news about him at all. Only early this month did he suddenly appear.
For 300,000 men to gather in the borders, that can't happen overnight.
How come you all just noticed it now?
The scout before said that Prince Virtue was spotted in Kangzhou City.
Everyone then went to the direction of Kangzhou City to search and didn't pay attention to the northeast border.
How many vassal rulers and royal relatives have already deflected? What is the detailed number of feudal nobility that's involved here? How much money and food supply do they have in their fief?
This...
What? You are unable to say it or unwilling to say it?
I fear that the situation is worse than you've imagined.
Greetings, Your Highness Crown Prince. You're finally back.
Your Majesty has been waiting to see you.
Quickly go. I'll wait for you here outside. Once you've met with your Royal Father, just come back to find me.
Strictly spread my order. Fuyao is my woman and an important guest of Megrez.
No one must make things difficult for her.
Yes.
Lead the way.
Royal Father, I came back late.
Miss Fuyao.
- Who are you? - Empress Ci'en is asking for you.
Empress wants to see me?
Yes. I am a senior maidservant from Pure Mist Palace Hall.
I've been working here for 20 years already.
When you've entered here last time, I've also served you.
Look closely. Do you still remember me?
Since it is Empress that's calling for me,
you should have an imperial order from Pure Mist Palace Hall.
Your Highness didn't want to alarm the palace.
Something bad happened?
You will know everything once you've met with Her Highness.
I heard that...
Look at that precious medicinal pill inside that oven behind you.
I've been trying to concoct if for more than 10 years.
Today, I'm about to succeed.
I heard that Prince Virtue's rebel army has already occupied the north bank of the river.
His advancing troop is around 100,000 men. Based on how Prince Virtue manages his army, he might attack anytime.
Wuji,
that box of tea leaves over there is the dongbai for this year.
Spring tea is the most aromatic and softest.
I especially asked them to pick some and leave you a box. Go take a look.
The imperial seal, the commander's seal, and the decree, I give them all to you.
The management of Megrez Empire armed forces is given to you too.
Your father is old now.
All the honour or disgrace and good health in the latter part of my life,
are all in your hands.
Emperor father is not old. The world,
and the Five Nations, still need Emperor Father to look after.
But my health is declining.
Wuji,
now that I have you to handle the warfare,
I'm at ease.
I understand. I will do my best
to lighten your burden.
No longer at my side though you are still young at age.
The most ruthless is the imperial family.
He is your Royal Uncle.
But now he is a traitor to the country.
Do you clearly understand how to handle him?
The imperial family is the most important.
The emperor and his subjects come first, blood ties go second.
Yes!
The crime of treason is unforgivable.
Good!
I am leaving now to make preparations.
Fuyao...
...that girl...you brought her here with you this time?
Yes.
I am guilty. I lied to you before; I secretly saved her.
Now I brought her back so that we can apologize and ask for your punishment.
I hope Emperor Father won't be too harsh on her.
Why do I want to give her trouble?
I'm your Emperor Father, and you are my son.
I also want to see you to be with the girl you love.
And that both of you can stay together.
I did oppose in the past.
But I had no choice.
Ministers at the imperial court wouldn't allow that too.
No commoner girl can just ascend to the position of imperial concubine.
If this matter caused a calamity,
not only you would be in trouble, she also could be implicated too.
- But Emperor Father— - I know.
All those mishaps out there, they told me all about it.
I heard she always stood by you and endured all the sufferings with you, right?
A girl who is so faithful to you; you have to cherish her truthfully.
Of course, I'm happy to see you and the girl you love
being together.
Thank you, Emperor Father.
Good! Very good!
Go.
I, your Royal Son, take my leave.
I am guilty.
Your Majesty.
You are now the new Queen of Plough Nation.
Performing such a solemn ceremony, I'm afraid very soon
I won't even deserve it.
You are Wuji's mother, you are entitled to it.
Being able to muddle the royal families of the three nations,
and can make my son Wuji to commit himself totally,
should be someone who looks just like you.
Wuji, how is he?
Wuji is here at the palace, why not ask him yourself?
No.
Today, I invited you here because I have a very urgent matter to entrust to you.
What the matter will be?
You have to stop Wuji...to prevent him from killing someone.
To kill who?
Prince Virtue, Zhangsun Jia.
You want me to prevent Wuji from killing a traitor to his country? Why?
Because he is—
Wuji's Royal Uncle.
Even if he's his Royal Uncle, he's also a traitor; Moreover,
this is a matter related to the Megrez Empire, I can't interfere.
No, only you...
Only you can stop him.
Your Majesty, I know you and Prince Virtue
have had an unusual relationship.
But after all, this belongs to affairs of the State. I—
You think I do this for myself?
This is all because of Wuji.
Wuji was separated from me since childhood and he's always very stubborn.
He never listened to me.
Now, maybe only you
can stop him.
Prince Virtue has committed treason, but it isn't his true intention. Whether win or lose,
Wuji shouldn't have to shoulder it.
Prince Virtue can be killed in many other ways,
but he can't be killed by Wuji.
What is the real reason?
I can't...I can't let Wuji
live in regrets the rest of his life.
On behalf of Empress Mother, I apologize to you, Emperor Father.
That matter...
I knew it all along.
Wuji, there are things...
...that shouldn't be shouldered by you.
But you—
When set against the dignity of the Megrez imperial family,
and the peace among the Five Nations,
her betrayal and alienation...
don't matter much.
But you...really don't mind?
Like a knife in the heart,
as long as you don't pull it out,
you won't see the blood.
The pain lingered, after a long time,
it would gradually be forgotten.
I...
...should thank her.
After all, for the Megrez Empire,
and for me, she gave us an outstanding...
...Crown Prince.
I, the divine Empress, beg you.
Your Majesty, please don't!
Promise me?
After all...after all this will be Wuji's decision.
I shouldn't interfere.
Even if he makes the wrong decision?
Yes, even if he makes the wrong decision.
