Episode 30
In order to have the upper hand,
I've decided to attack them first.
And this time, I'll lead the troops myself.
You can't do that, Your Majesty.
It's a long journey to Wei.
The battlefield is dangerous and unpredictable.
You are the master of this country.
You can't just go into war.
Sir Yang is right. Please reconsider your decision.
Please reconsider your decision!
I've already made up my mind. No need to advise me against it.
For the war this time,
I'll bring along a right-hand man with me.
Father, I recommend Wu You.
Wu You has studied hard since young and is an expert in the art of war.
If you bring Wu You along, you'll gain a speedy success.
I'm willing to go into war to be of service as well.
Please allow me to do so.
No, father. Although Wu You is good in the art of war,
he lacks experience in an actual war, rather than bringing him along,
it's better to bring along a general who has fought countless battle.
Please reconsider.
If so, in your opinion,
who will be the best choice?
Father, I recommend...
Father,
I've been out from military affairs for too long.
I don't know about the conditions of our generals.
How about you ask General Fu for his opinion?
Your Majesty,
I think that...
Prince Chen is very right.
Prince Li is an expert in the art of war.
And he had led the war in the southern fringe.
And he knows the situations of every wars like the back of his hand.
He's a fast learner.
I feel inadequate compared to him.
So I think,
it's best to bring along Prince Li...
for the war this time.
Even General Fu has recommended Prince Li.
Alright.
Wu You, you'll come along with me for the war against Wei.
I'm not willing to.
I already said that...
we need to pacify the people first before we attacks others.
Now, there are pirates running wild along the coast.
Western Qi and Chen are eyeing us covetously.
We suffer from natural continuous calamity and we are out of money.
The south-west region is in a state of famine.
We have both domestic and foreign troubles.
It's better for us if we wait until we are strong again...
and our people are well-rested and are in unity.
Only then can we send out our troops...
to bring peace to our country.
Nonsense. Northern Realm...
has enjoyed propitious weather and good harvest constantly.
The people are living peacefully and we are in unity.
We don't have calamity.
And we don't have domestic unrest or famine problem.
What nonsense it is. Guards!
Prince Li has disobeyed my order. The war is almost upon us.
He has exaggerated things to cause alarm to the people.
Throw him out.
You sit in your precious palace all year long and you have...
no regards for the people's sufferings.
You just know how to praise yourself and try to cheat the people.
My teacher was right back then.
People like you will never be a brilliant emperor.
Insolent fool! How dare you say that I'm not a brilliant emperor?
Unfilial son.
You are indeed the best student of Qin Yong.
You never listen to me.
He has gone for so many years.
But you still remember each and every words he uttered.
Why are you standing there for? Throw him out!
No need!
I've never wanted to be here in the first place.
From now on, don't think that I'll ever come back again!
You!
Get lost! Go back to your southern fringe!
Don't come back every again!
-Father, Wu You is just... -Shut up!
I'll throw you out if you say another word.
Please calm down.
Since Wu You is not willing to go into war with you,
I would like to recommend General of Defence to go with you.
General Fu is very experienced in battlefield and has never lost in one.
He can help you achieve victory.
We'll go with Prince Fan Yang's advice then.
General Fu. Get yourself prepared immediately.
You'll come along with me for the war in three days' time.
When I'm in war,
all public affairs...
will be handled by the crown prince with Prince Chen as assistant.
The court is dismissed.
Thank you, father.
Farewell, Your Majesty!
I heard that...
you are tagging along with him for the war against Wei.
He had moved 300,000 soldiers from all over the place to join the war...
except my Armour Troops.
He ordered me to go into war with him on my own.
Of course I know...
the real reason behind his action.
Looks like we have to move our plan forward.
We've waited for so many years. Finally, we have our chance.
When do you plan to make a move?
The entire plan is in my head.
I know what to do. As for you,
you just need to act according to my orders.
Hen Xiang told me that you want to change your plan for a woman.
Is it true?
We have been planning for many years...
to get this far.
Victory is in sight.
We have to go with the plan.
I address you as Uncle Lin...
because you are my mother's...
most loyal servant.
You've saved me before.
And you've taken great pains to teach and train me.
The bone-piercing pain that I suffered every year...
is a burning reminder of my mother's hatred.
They are burnt into my mind.
But I want to remind you.
You are just an assistant to help me complete this revenge.
As for the how,
it's entirely up to me.
Looks like you have deep hatred against me.
I wasn't trying to make the decision for you.
I'm just reminding you that...
our master has been...
waiting for too long in the dark.
Don't worry.
For those who've hurt my mother,
I'll make them pay a terrible price for it.
Good.
This is the Young Master that I know.
Only by doing so,
can you repay our master who had suffered in order to protect you.
If we want to take revenge,
we have to get rid of Zongzheng Wu You.
Rong Le is his biggest weakness.
Only by using her,
can we make sure that nothing will go wrong.
I don't need to use Rong Le...
to get rid of Zongzheng Wu You.
Is that so?
From the surface, you are in an advantage.
But Zongzheng Wu You's strength lurks in the shadow.
If you want to fight him in the open,
you'll ruin the plan...
that we've spent so many years on.
You have always been the illegitimate son...
who lives in darkness.
Why do you want to fight him in the open?
Do you think that...
Rong Le will like you by doing so?
Stop dreaming.
As long as Zongzheng Wu You lives,
you won't stand a chance.
Go.
Go and feel...
the bone-piercing pain that your mother had once suffered from.
Remember that suffering...
and you'll remember your identity.
At the same time, it'll clear your mind.
Guards!
Young Master.
Master, Young Master had done nothing wrong.
Why do you want to punish him again?
Hen Xiang.
You've healed so quickly in such a short time?
Don't think that I know nothing just because you kept it a secret.
In order to save Rong Le,
Young Master had hurt one of his own seriously.
And he tried to change the plan.
I know everything.
How did you know...
when I've never told you about it?
Since you are already hurt,
I won't punish you today.
But remember.
I'm the one who saved you from the gate of hell.
I taught you martial arts...
and trained you into a remarkable assassin.
You like Young Master.
I don't mind it if you want to keep his secrets for him.
But if it'll affect the plan of our revenge,
I...
will not forgive you easily.
I won't dare to do so.
In order to initiate this plan sooner,
I have a task for you.
Disguise yourself as Rong Le...
No.
No. I can't do that.
-I can't do that. -Only by doing so,
will you able to avenge your family.
Maybe after that,
you'll have a chance to marry the person you like.
-Two birds in one stone. -I can't do that.
You already know about my plan.
If you are not going to do it,
then I can't let you live.
Guards.
-Take her out! -Let go of me.
You can't kill me now.
I need to help Young Master control the crown prince.
If I die now,
it'll affect his plan for revenge. He won't forgive you for that.
He's just a useless crown prince.
It's not that hard...
to control him.
Let me tell you truthfully, Hen Xiang.
I've already planned this...
for quite some time.
If you don't want to do it,
there will be others to do it.
Rather than letting others do it,
it's better for you to do it instead.
Brother,
although Fu Chou will be joining you in the war,
his Armour Troops is still here in Zhongshan.
And there is a sudden influx of refugees to the city.
I think that something is not right with it.
Would you reconsider to delay the war?
We have the Royal Army here.
I'll leave behind a secret decree.
If something is amiss with the Armour Troops,
the Royal Army will be under Wu Yu's command.
Besides, the generals of the Armour Troops...
are under the close surveillance of Wu You.
There won't be any problems.
As for the refugees,
something is not right with it indeed.
Wu You will take care of it.
Wu You?
He was already banished from this city by you, right?
The date for war is already set.
We'll agitate our soldiers if we delay it again.
We can't change our plan for the war against Wei.
What about crown prince?
When Fu Chou is gone, crown prince can't much alone.
He's under Wu Yu's surveillance.
And Wu You won't be too far away from Zhongshan...
to give them a loophole to exploit.
Wu You!
Wu You.
This is not for me.
Are you really going to go back to southern fringe at times like this?
Today, father said those words in a fit of rage.
Don't take it to your heart.
Besides, are you really not going to join father in the war?
If you go with him and come back with victory,
you'll be welcomed by the officials and cheered by the people.
And everyone will forget about Fu Chou's contributions.
When that time comes, naturally, you'll hold the military power.
Why did you refuse to do this kind of beneficial thing?
I...
Did I say something wrong again?
You might be right if you tell me...
about this one year ago.
That time, Fu Chou was still at the frontier pass...
and didn't have real power in the court yet.
But now, Fu Chou has expanded his clique...
and he has ganged up with crown prince.
Besides, he's cooperating with Rong Qi,
the emperor of Western Qi in secret.
All the generals in the Armour Troops are his trusted aides.
If I join the war together with father now...
with only crown prince and Fu Chou in command of the capital,
what do you think will happen?
Are you saying that they'll revolt?
Crown prince is not that brave.
He is not.
But Fu Chou is.
Wu You. Since you've already known, why did you fight with father then?
I get it now. Both of you did it on purpose.
No. What happened today...
is just a show that you've planned together with father, right?
I'm just afraid that Fu Chou won't be...
so easily fooled like the others.
Impossible that he'll go against order to stay out from the war.
Father has left you in the capital to spy on crown prince anyway.
Make sure to keep a close eye on him.
About that, I was still puzzled about why father trusted me so much...
to let me help crown prince with the public affairs.
So, he wants me to keep watch on the crown prince.
Now, there are more and more refugees in the city.
Find a way to lure them out to the city.
Open up more food relief centres and give out food all day long.
Keep a close eye on the response of the refugees.
If you see someone suspicious,
find a reason to lock them up for interrogation.
But don't use force.
I understand.
Wu You, don't you have anything else for me to help out with?
For example, Man Yao?
Don't make things difficult for her.
I wouldn't dare to do so. She is the one you like.
When I'm not here, look out for her.
If there's anything,
report to me at once.
Alright. I get it.
This way please, generals.
The Royal Army?
This way please.
Princess Rong Le, take this medicine.
Although it's just a supplement,
at least it can replenish your energy.
-Thank you. -Princess.
-Actually, His Majesty... -Don't mention about him.
If he so much thinks of me as his sister,
he won't try to control me with poison.
He even lied to me saying that it's the aftereffect of my escape.
The cure that he gave me...
can only suppress the effect of the poison temporarily.
It can't neutralise the poison at all. If I beg him now,
I'll be his string puppet for sure to do his bidding forever.
I don't want that.
Maybe...
you won't be controlled forever.
After we get the medicine, Xiao Ke can study about it.
If she can find the original prescription for the poison,
she might be able to find a cure.
-He's right. -Princess, I realised that...
many people are led into...
the general's studies by Chang Jian for a secret discussion.
Among them are the generals from the army.
And they are wearing...
-the plates of the Royal Army. -Royal Army?
The Royal Army answers to His Majesty. Why are they here with Fu Chou?
I don't know.
Recently, that place is heavily guarded.
It's hard for me to spy on them.
War against Wei is going to start soon.
What is the reason for Fu Chou to meet these generals...
in secret?
I have to get into his studies.
Xiao Sha, go back to Western Qi to get the medicine.
Tell my brother that I'm at the death door.
If he still wants me to work for him,
-give me the cure immediately. -Roger that.
-Be careful. -Alright.
Why are you here?
I'm here to get some food from the kitchen.
General's Manor is so strange.
Why are there so many people guarding the kitchen?
This is General's Fu studies. Nobody can come near it. Leave now.
This is a study room? It's not the kitchen?
Then, do you know where the kitchen is?
I'm starved.
It's that way. Leave at once.
That way?
Leave now.
What happened to you? Wake up!
The candle in the manor is changed every day.
From the stub,
they must be here for the whole night.
Fu Chou knows how to play zither only.
When did he learn how to play the flute?
" Zhongshan City "
Distribution map for armed forces.
-General Fu. -General Fu.
Princess Rong Le.
" Granary "
" Armoury "
" Prince Li's army "
General Fu!
-What is it? -Lady Rong Le has fainted.
What?
" Tranquil Garden "
Rong Le.
-What happened? -General Fu.
I don't know why but she fainted suddenly...
and she hasn't been awake since.
Princess Rong Le fainted because of her worries that made her ill.
General Fu. We need to get her the medicine at once.
Or else, if she continues to sleep,
her body might be damaged and she might never wake again.
What kind of medicine you need?
This kind of herb grows only in deep mountains.
It's very rare, valuable and only I can recognise it.
Let me out. I'll get the herb for Princess Rong Le now.
Wait.
If you go out,
who will take care of my wife?
How about this?
Write down the name of the herb.
I'll send someone to get it.
I already said. It's a rare herb and only I can recognise it.
General Fu, let Xiao Ke go.
Just write it down for me.
There are so many physicians in the city.
Even if they don't know,
we still have the royal physicians from the palace.
Take good care of Lady Rong Le.
Don't always think about escaping from here.
Outside is not a safer place compared to here.
Remember.
All lands belong to His Majesty.
And all soldiers are our men.
Even if you manage to go out from this door, you might not...
be able to survive the outside world.
Maybe this is...
the safest place for you to be in.
Ling Yue. Get me a piece of white handkerchief now.
Your Highness, General of Defence wants to meet you.
Why is he here?
I'm not going to meet him.
He said that he has a very important gift for you.
What can he give me?
-Bring him in. -Yes, Your Highness.
Greetings, crown prince.
Aren't you going to join my father in the war?
Do you still have time for me?
From the way you say it,
looks like you are still mad at me...
for the incident at the court yesterday.
I wouldn't dare to be mad at you.
It's fine that Wu Yu recommend him.
But how can you recommend him as well?
What do you mean by that?
If Wu You is victorious, he'll hold the military power.
What good will it do to you?
Luckily, father is wise...
and banished Wu You to the southern fringe.
Or else, there will be no place for me in this court anymore.
What are you laughing at?
Do you think that His Majesty will bring Prince Li along...
to fight in the war just because I recommended him?
Do you really think that...
Prince Li has disobeyed the order...
and by making His Majesty mad,
they'll turn against each other from now on...
and your position as crown prince will be secured?
If you really think so, then you are too naive.
It's such a miracle that you are able to sit on this position...
as crown prince for so long.
What do you mean by that?
That day, in the court,
the fight that His Majesty and Prince Li had...
was just a show they made...
in order to fool you.
Do you really believe it?
Just now, you asked me why am I laughing.
I'm laughing...
because you are already under the guillotine...
and you are in imminent danger.
But you are still drinking your celebratory wine here.
Do you really think that it's a good thing...
for me to go out for war while Prince Li is here?
Don't you know that...
it'll be our death warrant?
What did you say?
Father has left Wu You behind to finish me off?
Impossible. Don't try to scare me.
If you don't believe me,
then don't blame me when your head is on the ground one day.
Please wait!
General Fu.
You are right.
Their fight was too sudden that day.
Father didn't even punish Wu You when he rejected...
the marriage in public back then.
This time, why are they in such a fit...
just because of some disagreements?
But what is the purpose of this show between my father and Wu You?
If father wants to kill me, he doesn't need to put in so much trouble.
He even entrusts me with the country.
That's the most vital step in their plan.
You are chosen as crown prince...
because Lady Yun is in debt with your mother.
But this kind of loving-kindness will burn out eventually.
Prince Li used to be very tolerant to you.
Now, he treats you worse than he treats a stranger.
Same goes for His Majesty.
Ever your failed in the war against Wei,
His Majesty has been wanting to strip you of your position.
I think you know this better than anyone.
Otherwise, you won't hire the Creed of Vengeance...
to assassinate Prince Li at all cost.
Continue.
He needs a reason to strip you of your position.
He can't do it without any reason.
All these years, you've done your duty well.
And you haven't done any major mistakes.
Even if you did, His Majesty...
has no solid proof about it.
If he wants to strip you of your position,
he has to find...
a concrete reason to do so.
What kind of reason?
His Majesty knows that...
we have ganged up with each other in secret.
That's why he'll put on this show...
to make sure that I have no choice but to join him in war.
His real purpose...
is to separate us and attack us one by one.
I have to join His Majesty for the war without my Armour Troops.
He falsely banished Prince Li...
so that he can go back to southern fringe to send his troops here.
He asked you to take care of the nation with Prince Chen's help.
If you put it nicely, it's help. But he's actually here to spy on you.
If something is amiss,
you'll be labelled as a rebel.
And by then,
Prince Li will send his army into the city.
You won't even have the chance to explain.
-I... -And you'll die in vain and in unjust.
Then I'll do nothing so that they won't have a reason to kill me.
It's still be the same whether you do it or not.
All of them has spent so much effort to set this trap.
They won't let you get away easily.
If I'm not wrong,
someone must be working for His Majesty in the Armour Troops.
They'll make trouble in your name.
When that time comes, you'll be dead.
And I won't fare any better than you.
Father is so ruthless.
General Fu.
You have to save me, General!
No. We are on the same boat.
Saving me means saving yourself, General.
What should we do?
No need to panic.
I'm here today to do exactly that.
This...
What do you mean by this?
Now, nobody else can save us.
We are the only one who can save ourselves.
We are our own salvation.
Are you saying that...
we should rebel for real?
Please think carefully, Crown Prince.
This is the only way...
for both of us to survive this.
No.
You said it yourself. Father has planned this out so meticulously.
We won't succeed.
We won't if it's just you alone.
But I already told you.
I'm doing this to save myself too.
How confident you are?
If it fails,
it'll be a done deal for us.
We are done for anyway.
Since we will be dead anyway...
and we'll be labelled as rebels,
why not we take a risk to save our lives?
If we want to get the things we desire,
we have to pay for it.
What is your desire?
When you wear this dragon robe...
and sit on that almighty dragon chair,
you'll know what to do.
I just hope that when the time comes,
you'll be kind to me.
Alright.
Since you've proposed this,
I'm sure that you've already had a plan in mind.
I believe in you.
As long as you can help me become the emperor,
I promise you,
aside from the throne, I can give you...
whatever you desire.
I'll take my leave then.
Your Majesty.
This is such a handsome robe.
It's way better than any other robes that you have.
I can't wait...
to see your dashing appearance...
in this robe while you stand in front of the Xuande Hall...
to receive your support and love from the officials and the people.
Xiang.
I've waited so long for this day.
I've had enough of this crown prince title which is all name and no power.
Xiang.
How long have you known General Fu?
What kind of a person he is?
I didn't know him for long.
He is...
a gentle...
and modest gentleman.
Why did you ask me this suddenly?
Could it be that you are suspicious...
about General Fu?
Suspicious?
How could I suspect General Fu?
General Fu is my most trusted ally now.
I'm counting on him...
to make me into an emperor.
That's right.
It's good that you understand.
You are in a difficult situation now.
And you have no one to rely on.
As long as you have General Fu's help,
you'll get what you wish for.
When that time comes,
no one in this world will dare raise their voices against you anymore.
And no one...
will dare disobey you ever again.
Xiang, you are right.
But what if I fail?
Xiang. Will you leave me if I fail?
You are destined to be an emperor. You are born for it.
It is your destiny.
-You will not lose. -I mean what if?
There will be no what ifs.
I believe in you...
and I believe in General Fu.
Alright.
Alright!
Xiang.
If you say I won't lose, then I won't lose.
For you, I'll take this risk.
After I sit on the throne and sentenced Zongzheng Wu You to death,
I'll confer you the title as Imperial Consort.
When that time comes,
you'll rule over the imperial harem.
Besides you,
I want nobody else.
You have to keep your word then.
Don't worry.
I won't go back on my words.
" Dezheng Door "
Arrival of His Majesty!
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Rise.
March forward!
Victory!
This is bad! Help!
Lady Rong Le has fallen ill again!
-What happened? -Lady Rong Le is sick again.
She is already unconscious. I need to get her the medicine.
Last time, General Fu has brought her the medicine, right?
That was last time. Her illness is more serious now.
The one we used last time can't cure her now.
I'll go to the apothecary house to get it then.
This is not a normal medicine.
I need the Dragon Flower.
This flower is the rarest among the rare.
You can't find it in normal apothecary house. Let me out.
Tell me what the flower looks like. I'll get it for you.
You can find the flower only on the moss that grows on dragon stone.
It's colour is different for every season of the year.
It's entirely up to your luck to be able to find it.
And you have to be careful when you pluck it.
You can't pluck the newly bloomed and you can't pluck the newly wilted.
You can only take the petals, not the nectar.
If there's any nectar on it,
it'll become poison and the person who takes it will die for sure.
Do you have the skill to pluck this kind of flower?
-No. -Let me out now.
I'll go to the eastern suburb to get the medicine for her now.
But General Fu has ordered us that no one can leave the manor.
You give us no choice.
Let me tell you.
If something happens to the princess,
you'll be responsible for it when the general is back.
This way, please.
Both of you stay here. The rest, follow me.
Princess, they are gone.
I hope that she will be successful this time.
