Your Grace. Your Grace. Your Grace.
Your Grace, slow down.
Your Grace, slow down. Your Grace.
Your Grace. Your Grace. Slow down.
Consort Su left Qianming Palace, safe and sound.
Then… the queen.
Do you admit your fault?
You framed Consort Su up several times
and made the whole palace panicky.
All ministers said
I was fascinated by her charm.
How can I stay dignified?
Tell me.
When you do this,
what good does it do to me,
and to
our country?
Isn’t why
you treat me so cruelly
by taking
Lady Han
away from me?
I can take more from you.
More?
What do you mean?
Your right to hurt people,
to frame Consort Su up
and to humiliate me.
What a surprise!
I didn’t expect you
to be so merciless.
Nor did I expect you
to be so careless.
Jiang, listen to my order.
I’m going to throw you into…
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, wait.
Your Majesty, please think carefully about it.
Uncle,
you’re in no position to defend her.
Your Majesty.
Eastern Barbarians rebelled.
Who is leading a troop of 60,000 soldiers
to suppress them for you?
The queen’s father!
East Marquis Jiang Huanchu!
If you dethrone the queen now,
what a heavy blow
it will be
to his loyalty?
What a disturbance
it will be to the troops!
Your Majesty, have you thought about it?
Uncle, you’re threatening me.
How dare I!
I just don’t want you
to lose your loyal minister,
Jiang Huanchu.
BTW, Your Majesty,
I was just informed that
Jiang Huanchu’s army
had annihilated traitors of Eastern Barbarians,
gained a complete victory.
Uncle, is that true?
Absolutely true.
Why haven’t I been informed?
Uh…
I think the scout
must be on his way
to Zhaoge.
The news of victory is coming soon.
Queen, you may leave.
Your Majesty.
Her Grace
will reflect on herself for what happened today.
Get me some wine.
Stop!
Let go of her. Let go of her.
Your Grace, please make way.
Let go of her.
I won’t let go of
whoever dares to touch her again.
Let go of her.
Sister.
Li’er.
Sister.
You must live.
Whatever happens,
You must live.
You must live on.
Promise me!
You must revenge me.
For your parents,
and for the people who died innocently,
you must take revenge.
This is why
I sacrifice myself.
Li’er.
What a nice name!
Li’er.
Thank you.
Sister.
Li’er.
I promise you.
I will revenge you.
Master sent you here,
to supervise on Yang Jian
and instruct him.
Did he ask you to butt in human affairs?
The Shang is ending. This is its fate.
The demon in the palace is also the fate.
Whoever lives or dies
is decided by the Heaven.
When you interfere, you’re defying it.
Senior Brother.
As an immortal
from Jade Void Palace,
I just can’t watch the demon killing mortals
and do nothing.
Master…
Master knows everything
and is all-powerful.
How will he not know
the pain of mortals
who were killed by the demon
and my feelings?
You have little comprehension, Jiang Ziya.
Knows everything? All-powerful?
Bullshit!
Why will Master be wrong?
Listen.
If Master is right,
it means the future he sees
will never change.
Right?
Yes.
Nonsense.
If he’s all-powerful,
He can change
what is going to happened.
If the future is changed,
he has predicted the wrong future.
If the future isn’t,
it means
he isn’t all-powerful.
Do I make sense?
Senior Brother, you confused me.
I must think carefully about
what you just said.
No need!
Jiang Ziya.
Little comprehension as you have,
you will never understand it.
After staying in the Repent Cliff
for some days,
you really have made rapid progress.
I really admire you.
Master commanded you
to leave the palace right now
and ponder your mistakes at home.
You shall no longer
interfere with the human stuff.
What about Yang Jian?
Master worries about
Yang Jian most.
You shall no longer meet him.
I’ll supervise on him and instruct him.
Do you understand?
Senior Brother,
Why Senior Bai He
didn’t come to give the order?
What do you mean, Jiang Ziya?
You don’t believe me?
Fine.
Let me
take you back to Jade Void Palace
for Master, okay?
No, I don’t dare.
Master.
Why are you out alone?
You didn’t get the demon?
He was scared away.
What?
We don’t need to come to Shouxian Palace again?
Don’t need to.
Master.
Why do I find you
A little strange?
Before that,
I have something to tell you.
I made a mistake
and Master punished my
by sending me home for repent.
My senior brother is sent
to instruct you.
You must be obedient.
Senior Brother.
His name is Shen Gongbao.
He’s
much more powerful than me.
You must learn carefully.
Do not make trouble.
Do not be indolent.
Do not be gluttonous.
And do not talk back.
Remember?
I don’t want your senior brother.
I want only one master!
You!
I’ll only learn from you.
Bye.
Master.
Yang Jian wait in the Bureau of Astronomy.
My senior brother will go to you.
Remember!
When you learn
what my senior brother teaches you,
saving your sister
will be even easier than stamping here.
Xiao’e.
Where is the robe I wore when I came?
In your room of the Bureau of Astronomy.
You.
Take good care of Yang Jian.
Master.
All apprentices
of the Primeval Lord of Heaven
are good at lying.
Better than that.
We can also hunt demons.
Hunt demons?
Then why hasn’t your Master
hunt you first?
You almost
have little power now.
How dare you still be arrogant?
Don’t you fear I may fall out with you?
That’s right.
Don’t beat about the bush.
I hate people to be histrionic most.
Okay.
I’ll be frank then.
Work with me to kill the Primeval Lord of Heaven
and unify the three realms. I’ll make you the God.
What do you think?
Work with you?
How dare you
work with me
with such little power?
I don’t like you guys.
But I never think of
killing the Primeval Lord of Heaven.
As for unifying the three realms,
not interested at all.
I helped you.
Why can’t you be gratitude?
Helped?
Did I ask you to help me?
You insisted.
I didn’t beg you.
This is the Recovery Pill of Jade Void Palace.
Take it
and you’ll get 60% recovered
within three days.
What do you want from me?
I want a deal with you.
What deal?
Your secret skill,
Misty Shield.
So that’s what
you really want.
It seems
you escaped
from the Jade Void Palace.
I know
the Primeval Lord of Heaven has an All-knowing Mirror.
As long as you’re from the Jade Void Palace,
wherever you go,
you can’t hide
In the mirror, right?
Exactly.
We can help each other for what we need.
What do you think?
Okay.
But with only 60% power recovered,
the Misty Shield will hold at most seven days,
or even shorter.
That’s enough.
I believe
you will reconsider about
our cooperation.
See you.
Jiang Ziya
set up a formation at the gate.
Do you need me to remove it?
Jiang Ziya?
What a formation
can he set up
with so little power?
You can try it.
You won’t be killed.
But you’ll be annoyed.
Holy Lord.
Now you can’t see me, can you?
When I control Yang Jian,
I’ll show you
how great I can be!
What have you got?
Li’er is dead.
Lady Han who followed you for years
also died.
They both died.
Your Grace.
What did you really get
from this?
Are you happy now?
Is that
what you really want?
Li’er is dead.
I was desperate to protect her.
But she was still killed.
Do you mean what it means?
It means I have no more weakness.
From now on,
I have nothing to fear
or hesitate.
Now…
Your Grace.
You must make up your mind.
Tell me.
Tell me
when you will stop.
How many people have to die
before you stop?
Today, Lady Han and Li’er aren’t killed,
not because they’re guilty.
Instead,
they die
for us.
Lady Han
accompanied me when I grew up.
She spent
even more time with me
than my parents.
For me,
she’s more thoughtful than my son
and more reliable than His Majesty.
Over so many years,
she has never asked me for anything.
She has been defending me only.
In my heart,
she’s not the maid,
but my mother.
Now you want me to wake up.
Shouldn’t you
wake up, too?
If we keep
fighting each other,
one day, we’ll lose someone else.
Someday,
you and I
will lose more.
Someday, more people
will die because of us.
Since you’re so kind,
why were you always so aggressive
that you got them killed?
Do you think I want it?
You have been aggressive.
You forced me
to do this to you!
How hateful you are!
Your Grace.
Today,
you not only took Li’er away from me,
but also lost your best chance.
Do you know
what you have done?
If you thought about it
for a few more days,
No…
just one day…
Maybe…
I would have disappeared.
Why couldn’t you wait?
Why couldn’t you hesitate
and leave a way out for me?
Maybe,
I would have disappeared
as you wished.
Remember what I said today!
Never forget any of them.
You will regret someday.
You want to leave?
And get back to days before you came?
Your Grace.
Even if I could get back to the past,
it wasn’t the real past.
Just like what I’m saying.
If I said it later,
people who would hear it
might feel different.
Yesterday you looked up at the sky,
but now you could look down at the earth.
Your quick understanding
really blushed me with shame.
I failed to
hunt the demon
as you wanted.
It’s so shamed of me.
I don’t feel goo
to leave without saying goodbye.
So I’ve been waiting here.
I think you’ll come this way
and I can say goodbye to you here.
Immortal.
Since you can predict the future,
could you tell me
what I should do
in the future?
I had something to tell you.
But now it doesn’t
seem to help.
Like my master said,
the fate can’t be disobeyed.
Your Grace.
When it’s meant to be, it will be.
You mean
I should conform to my fate.
Your Grace, you must be sad
to lose that maid.
Stop your crocodile tears.
Tell me.
What are you coming for?
For what happened in Qianming Palace?
Exactly.
I…
Protected you.
I don’t know
who wrote this
to you.
But with this,
you wouldn’t have
left Qianming Palace alive.
Because His Majesty could have raged.
Why didn’t you give it to His Majesty?
I meant to.
But…
Suddenly something occurred to me.
If I helped you this time,
maybe in the future,
you can protect me.
I’ve got a lot of things to handle
and I must go.
Deal!
Fine.
See you someday.
What did you say?
East Marquis was defeated?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I heard it
from the scout.
Uncle lied to me.
He lied to me.
Lord Bigan is always loyal.
He must have a reason
for that.
But he must be punished
for lying to you.
Forget it.
He’s my uncle.
The elder member of the royal family.
The war hasn’t ended yet.
When East Marquis really loses the war,
I’ll punish my uncle then.
You… you lied about the war situation?
In the desperate fight days ago,
your father Jiang Huanchu
didn’t win.
Instead, he lost thousands of soldiers
and was defeated utterly.
You lied to His Majesty!
Uncle.
His Majesty will know it sooner or later.
Yes.
But why did you do that?
You know what?
I didn’t have time to think about it.
His Majesty was going to dethrone you.
If I hadn’t stopped him,
the country would have been in chaos.
Uncle.
But this is not a problem
that can be solved by avoiding.
What if…
What if my father is defeated
or he surrender…
You will
still be dethroned.
And I will be executed.
But I don’t want you
to die for me.
Your Grace.
Why do you always think
your father Jiang Huanchu
may be defeated?
When news of his defeat
came to me,
I didn’t believe it.
Your father is always brave and clever.
I guess,
he showed weakness
to deceive his enemy.
If I guess correctly,
the news of great victory will come soon.
Uncle.
You’re gambling
on my father’s victory
with your own life!
And your crown.
Your Grace.
I’ve gambled many times
in my life.
But this one can be
the most dangerous.
In less than two days,
we’ll know
how the war ends.
Brother.
What? What happened?
The maid in Kunde Palace…
She said…
Smooth your breath before you talk.
I don’t even understand you.
In Qianming Palace,
Consort Su…
Daji?
What happened? Tell me.
I don’t know what happened.
It keeps on the alert for Shouxian Palace.
Suddenly,
the guards are doubled.
No one shall get in or out.
All maids in the palace
hve been changed,
including Consort Su’s.
I hear
Consort Su are still free
to go anywhere
or do anything.
But in the palace,
soldiers and maids
keep an eye on her
wherever she goes.
It’s totally the same
as being locked up!
The king cares for you a lot.
It seems
you have completely bewitched him.
You look so poker-faced,
just like
a puppet of the king.
Li’er
is dead.
It’s just like a dream.
She came,
and left.
Why did they
take away my Li’er.
I failed to protect her.
My bad.
I miss her
very much.
Put your hand on mine.
You cruel king! You’ll die in your boots!
You’ll die in your boots!
You don’t learn good words.
But easily learn bad ones.
Learn it from me.
Cruel king! Torn to pieces!
What’s your name?
I’m Ruili.
Ruili.
Li’er.
Sister.
You must live.
Whatever happens,
you must live.
You must live on.
Thank you.
What?
You want me
to help you meet Consort Su again?
Daji agreed
to leave with me.
But it’s been days.
I tried my best
to see her.
But I couldn’t even
find her.
The anxiety kills me.
I can’t wait anymore.
You know
what’s happening in Shouxian Palace.
But you still do that.
You really want to
get you two killed
before you leave.
That’s why I come to ask you for help,
isn’t it?
You want us to leave
as soon as possible?
You mean
you want me to betray my father again
by helping you leave?
You like Xiao’e, don’t you?
Like you said,
she will think no more of me
when I leave.
You asshole!
How dare you use her
to deal with me?
Do you think what you’re doing
is fair to her.
For her own good,
isn’t it good
to both of us?
It will hurt her anyway
no matter you leave or not.
I know you’re in love with Daji.
And I saw you.
East Marquis had great victory!
Your Majesty.
Huang Feihu.
I was just thinking of you.
Your Majesty, you’re drunk.
Your Majesty.
The queen lied to me.
Even my uncle Bigan
also lied to me.
Throughout the palace,
I can believe no one,
but you.
Your Majesty, you’re drunk.
I promise you that
you uncle never lies to you.
Oh,
the messenger of Jiang Huanchu just arrived.
Last night, Jiang Huanchu had a surprise attack
and broke thirty-two camps of Eastern Barbarians.
He killed more than ten thousand enemies and captured a lot.
Your Majesty.
East Marquis has
beheaded chiefs of Eastern Barbarians,
senior or junior.
Lord Bigan didn’t lie to me.
Yes.
He didn’t.
-He didn’t. - No.
He didn’t lie to you.
How much
I miss your smile!
To see your smile
ever again,
I’m willing to do anything.
Yang Jian.
Who are you?
Didn’t Jiang Ziya tell you?
You’re Shen Gongbao,
the senior brother of my master?
Did you
force my master to leave?
Why?
You asshole!
You show no respect!
Is that how Jiang Ziya taught you?
Well, that explains.
Jiang Zi shows no respect, too.
That’s why he’s gone.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Shut up!
Yang Jian, show some respect.
I’ll be your master from now on.
This is the order
from my master, the Primeval Lord of Heaven.
Even if he can rule the whole world,
he can’t rule me.
You such mortals
are nobodies
in his eyes.
If you dare to disobey him,
you’ll die in unnamed graves.
Under the order of my master,
I’m waiting here for you,
just to tell you that
I’ll pick my own master.
I don’t need an assigned one.
Don’t you want to save your sister?
Don’t you want to take revenge?
Are you going to give up so fast?
So sad I saved you.
What?
You saved me?
More than that.
I was planning to
teach you great martial arts.
Forget it.
I just bet on the wrong horse.
Leave as you wish.
Your Highness.
News of great victory came!
Great victory?
From East Marquis.
It does harm to her,
no matter you leave or not.
I know you’re in love with Daji.
And I saw it.
Could Consort Su really have a lover?
Mother.
What’s up?
The messenger of my grandpa
just arrived.
Last night, he defeated the enemy.
Over one night,
he attacked thirty-two camps
and killed over ten thousand of them.
That’s great luck!
Awesome!
God bless us!
Bless our family!
