Wei Lin Lei Yun
What do you think you're doing?
Your Highness
His Majesty has just passed
It'd be better if you 'd return to the palace
to rest
Please do not let the dispute in this court
disturb your emotional state
Guards
Yes Sir
Escort Her Highness and the Crown Prince back to the palace to rest
Watch them well
Yes Sir
Who dares!
You also want to disobey the edict?
Your Highness
What are you doing?
Let's go
Where's the golden wine pillar?
I... don't know where it is
Go ask if you don't know
Hurry!
Yes!
All of you, go look for it!
Hurry to look
Where's Chou Chen?
Chou Chen?
Sir,
Didn't you say
a goblet of poisonous wine
to see him off?
Right now..
Hurry hurry
Hurry to stop killing him
Yes yes yes
We have to ask him where the golden wine pillar is
Yes
Hurry
Hurry, go!
Eunuch Chou
This is eunuch Lei's idea
On the way to the underworld
please don't find ways to cause me trouble
Drink it!
Drink it now!
Eunuch Lei
We were late
Eunuch Chou already...
The golden wine pillar
Where did the golden wine pillar go?
I didn't ask him in time
Didn't ask in time?
That big of a thing
No one has seen?
Where are all Chou Chen's men?
All died?
Yes yes yes
They all died
Eunuch Sir
Wasn't it your order
to kill all of Chou Chen's trusted men,
and switch our people in to guard Empress and Crown Prince?
My lord
Plough Department Commander wishes to see you
I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Sir Dong Min
Minister Kang, you're too kind
Please don't say that
It's shameful that thanks to those traitors,
I'm now only a governor
Please don't call me minister
Please have a seat
Wei Lin changed the will
Sir Kang
Do you have any evidence
Evidence?
Where could evidence come from
They would have destroyed the real will
Sir Dong Min
Do you have any lead?
Until now
Wei Lin possesses all power
falsifying imperial edict to demote you to governor of Xiang State
Do you have any plan?
I'm not going
I'm going to see
what else they dare do in this Liang Capital
I will use this old remains
to fight with them to the end
Sir Kang
Step back one step
one can see the wide ocean and the clear sky
Step back?
You right now
are already a thorn on their side
Staying in the capital
will only endanger yourself
Why would you
I'm not a coward
You of course are not a coward
But what benefit is there to stay in the capital?
Only when you leave the capital,
they would be more reckless and unrestrained
I need them
to act even more reckless and unrestrained
Get lost!
I've already said
I will not accede under any circumstances
My Prince
The nation
cannot be without an emperor
You want me to bear
the notoriety of an usurper,
a traitor and thief?
Get lost!
My prince
This throne
should have been yours!
When Father Emperor
acceded the throne from Grand Emperor,
He promised
to give the country back.
My prince
You are of the same lineage
The same lineage!
It is righteous for either of you to inherit the throne
My prince
If the young Crown Prince is the one to accede,
the court would be unstable
the people would be unsettled
There will be strife,
the nation will be in chaos
no peace and security!
My prince!
All nonsense!
During the reign of the Grand Emperor,
the country has not settled
He has not established a crown prince
So He passed the throne
to Father Emperor,
His younger brother
But now
the country is settled
enjoying peace and security
How can you compare now to then?
In addition
His Late Majesty already established a crown prince
which means
His Late Majesty already intended to pass the crown
to Ch'en Er
That's not right
I've faced him many time to refuse
It should have been
Che'n Er in the will
How can it be me?
You go back
Regarding this ascension,
I will never agree to
My prince
Eunuch Lei,
Kang Bin Chong is already leaving Liang Capital
to Xiang State for his post
So he's an perceptive man
My prince
Prepare my horse for the palace
You can leave
Eunuch Lei
Counsel Wei
Please
Counsel Wei
You're the grand Counsel
Why
are you so respectful of my lowly eunuch position
Grand Master Do Mu told me
to consult with you for anything
I knew that you're not ordinary
If I had any inadvertent discourtesy to you previously
Please forgive me
So Counsel Wei,
what matter are you consulting me on?
Eunuch Lei
You've already seen it
There are two parties in the court
ceaselessly arguing
Although that old Kang is already demoted
But there are still so many officials in the court
supporting him
We can't one by one
expel all of them out of the capital
If we're not careful,
we might force them to rebel
That would be hard to deal with then
Then what idea do you have?
It's best to strike first
Control the court
Until prince Xian
changes his mind
How do we control the court?
Now that His Majesty has passed
a new Emperor has not accede
Who has the say so?
Isn't all depends on the His Late Majesty's will?
Eunuch Lei
You and I cooperate
with the Will in name
to control the court and the inner court
I won't need to worry about them rebelling!
Then
Prince Xian will be forced
to change his mind
Good
We will use the name of Regent
to issue a decree
From now on
all of the court's communications and reports
must go through your approval
before being presented in the inner court
That way,
everything in the court without fail
will be in our control
Good
Counsel Wei
please write the decree
Your Highness, please stay
What?
You received salary and benefits from our court
You dare to block the Crown Prince and my way now?
Your Highness
We are guarding here
all for Crown Prince and your security
Silent!
Who are you
to tell me what to do?
Out of the way!
Out!
Let's go!
Mother!
Are you all right?
Your Highness
Please return to the palace
Who are you really?
You are his man
Please, Your Highness, return to the palace
Stop!
Mother!
Despicable thing!
Dare to harm Her Highness!
My prince
I'm only thinking for Her Highness's safety
Get lost!
Then I won't bother
you, Her Highness and Crown Prince's chatting
I take my leave
Watch the door carefully!
If there's anything wrong
I will have you pay with your life!
Hurry, go
Everyone of you, crying carrying on
What do you think you're doing?
Hurry
Only to guard the tomb
Hurry
Hurry, go
Don't speak
It's me
Let's go!
Hurry hurry!
Come down!
Don't scream, don't scream
It's me
My savior!
Why are you forced to guard the tomb?
What's going on in the palace?
You don't know what's going on in the palace?
Ever since that darn devil Wei took over the palace
together with that that half man half woman eunuch Lei,
our Plough Department's permission to enter the palce
was cancelled
To avoid unnecessary misunderstanding,
Sir Dong Min forbids us from probing
Hurry and tell us
What's going on in the palace
Her Highness uh
Empress Dowager and Crown Prince
both are under house arrest
Eunuch Lei controls the inner court
Everything in the palace
is under the scrutiny of his gang
What?
Get under here, you!
Guards are still up there
Tell us more
Eunuch Chou is the inner court's main manager
Eunuch Chou
was jailed
and already poisoned to death!
All eunuch Chou's men were captured or killed
Even the little guys like us
are all expelled to guard the tomb
Oh right
There's one thing really strange
As soon as eunuch Lei took control,
the first thing he did was going to eunuch Chou's place
to look for a golden wine pillar
Golden wine pillar?
Normally it was placed there
About the height
of a person
What does he want with it?
That, I don't know
He couldn't find the golden wine pillar,
so he rushed to stop his men from killing eunuch Chou
Unfortunately, it was too late
Because all the eunuchs around eunuch Chou all died
he couldn't find out where the golden wine pillar went
Eunuch Lei went mad with anger
Lei Yun just took control
The first thing was to find that golden wine pillar
There has to be something fishy
Then did he find it?
Eunuch Lei thought
Only eunuch Chou and his trusted eunuchs
would know where the golden wine pillar is
He didn't expect
I also know
But I won't tell him
Where is it?
That golden wine pillar
is a present that His Late Majesty
gave eunuch Chou
After His Majesty passed,
eunuch Chou was so sorrowful,
he donated the golden wine pillar for burial objects,
buried in the Royal Tomb
Just about everybody who knew of this
already died
I only knew of this by accident
Uncle
It's cold at night
You're sleeping here...
That's all right
These strong bones of your uncle
should be fine
Prince Xian
Why don't you
come inside the palace to sleep
That's right
There are so many rooms
I'm staying here
to protect Your Highness and Crown Prince
If I stayed in the palace
it will start idle rumors
stigmatizing Your Highness' honor
I cannot do that
Your Highness
Ch'en Er
You go back to rest
As long as I have one breath left,
I will not let anyone harm you
That's the story
What do you say this eunuch Lei
looking everywhere for this golden wine pillar
What does he want to do with it?
My guess is
He must have a secret no one can know about
The Will
was eunuch Chou's responsibility to keep
We've taken turn to guard eunuch Chou's quarter
The purpose was to protect the Will
That's right!
At that time, I saw with my own eyes
eunuch Chou took the Will from his room
Then you guess,
what is really in the golden wine pillar?
Perhaps, eunuch Lei stole the real Will
but was unable to take it out
So he placed the fake Will there
and put the real one
in the golden wine pillar!
Except for that,
I can't think of why else
eunuch Lei would care so much
That means the real Will
is still in the Royal Tomb
Then I will report to Sir Dong Min right away
Hold on!
Right now, this is only our guess
Searching the Royal Tomb
is sacrilegious to His Late Majesty
What if Sirs Dong Min and Yin Quan don't agree?
That's right
If it's only Sir Yin Quan, it might be ok
But Sir Dong Min
is so conservative
He wouldn't agree to this kind of thing
Then I'd only tell Sir Yin Quan
Please!
You think you'd only tell Sir Yin Quan,
he won't go tell Sir Dong Min?
That makes sense
Then I'd only tell Kai Yang
Fine Fine
It's only going inside the tomb to find a golden wine pillar
What do you want to tell so many people for?
In addition, Kai Yang
is responsible for internal affairs
She's not away often
If she's not here,
it'd look suspicious
Then
Just us three?
Right
Just us three
It's you!
It's me who raised you
nurtured and cared for you
Looking at me now
is like looking at an enemy for you?
It was you who brought me to His Majesty's side
It was also you who took away my husband!
Why can't I look at you
as my enemy?
I did not order you to love him
It was you
who forgot your mission
I didn't expect
that you would lay down your life
for the emperor
using your lifeline parasite to extend his life
I used the lifeline parasite
so I should have
lived and died with His Majesty
Why did he die and I'm still alive?
It was you who saved me!
Of the nine disciples of Grand Master Do Mu
You're the third
I had the most affection for you since you were little
Meng Dong
loved Kai Yang of the Plough Department
He was no longer willing to involve the Plough Department
So he falsified my order
for De Miao to take him into the palace
to revenge for his grandfather
to seize the opportunity to kill the emperor
De Miao
couldn't help
but shoot the darts for self protection
All of this was not under my control
Your husband's death
truly had nothing to do with me
But now
your son
What do you want to do?
Prince Xian is so useless
doesn't want to accede
I want you to convince him
to take the throne
When he is the Emperor
I will guarantee your and your son's safety
He will gain the title of Honorable Prince
With glory and prosperity
Of no less than an emperor
I believe that as soon as you speak up
he will change his mind
I will not be fooled by you!
Fooling you?
Once the Crown Prince yielded the throne
it's not avoidable to have others supporting him to take it back
And once Prince Xian acceded,
to avoid potential trouble,
you will kill Ch'en Er
All nonsense!
If you don't follow my order
I will kill him right now!
If I followed your direction
we will die
If I don't
maybe we have a chance to live
Fine
I showed you a good way, you don't want to follow
Fine
Whatever may come
You are the one that I raised
I won't kill you by my own hand
You'd better watch yourself!
The golden wine pillar in Chou Chen's room
is still not found?
A bunch of idiots!
Idiots!
S, S, Sir
We've looked all over the palace
It's impossible not to find that big of a thing
How weird that it disappeared into thin air
This..
I'm asking you
recently
was there any occasion
where a lot of things were moved out of the palace?
No Sir
It was only that time
that the burial objects were transported to the Tomb
Wait a minute
the Royal Tomb?
Burial objects?
I'm telling you
Go to the treasury record office
Find the list of burial objects
Search through every line, every account
Find the golden wine pillar for me!
Hurry!
Yes Sir
Hurry!
Eunuch Lei
You're looking for me?
Eunuch Lei?
Counsel Wei
Prince Xian
is so stubborn
determined to refuse the throne
Such a majestic throne with unlimited power
How can prince Xian not even think about it?
Not only that, the Empress
would rather die
than trying to convince prince Xian
Then
What should we do next?
We planned and plotted
just so prince Xian could righteously
put on the Dragon Robe
But now he wouldn't
Then we could only use force
Force?
If the empress and the crown prince both died
Would you say
he'd accede or not?
This...
If
we put the Dragon Robe on him
forced him to accede
Would you say this Emperor position,
he'd take or not?
That means
we plan a coup
to give the throne to him
This is not something no one has done before
But that's the difference between this dynasty and the last
If we killed the empress and crown prince
that's a crime that would get your whole clan's executed!
If prince Xian acceded
We'd be the founding officials
What crime?
But all the officials of the court
will not overlook this!
Counsel Wei
A snake without a head is nothing
Without Kang Bin Chong's leadership,
they won't be able to do anything
That's right
I was afraid Kang Bin Chong would strike back
Counsel Wei
Continue to demote him
Demote him to some place far away
Of course
Then let me demote him to Lei State at the border troops
Demote him to the end of the world
Where even news
would not reach him
Good
Let Quan Chou's governor keep a tight tab on him
don't let him run
Come
Come on in, come on in
You came back!
Did you find it?
When did I ever fail
The map of the tomb is here
Now
I will give you a chance to revenge
Tonight
You go to the palace
Kill the empress and the crown prince
But
Remember
Do not harm prince Xian
I will have people cooperating with you then
Can't kill prince Xian?
It's all of you who made me like this
I want you all to die!
All will die!
Come here
Don't scream
It's us
My savior!
Eunuch Lei knows martial arts?
Not only that, he's extremely skilled
He knows martial arts
and even could hide it well from both of us
This is the first time he showed his martial arts
The first time he dared to clash with the Empress
He is really hiding in the dark
to stab at the ready
They want to support prince Xian to accede
But prince Xian right now is guarding outside of the Empress' palace
Prince Xian will not necessarily be able to protect the Empress and the Crown Prince
Then what do we do?
Without a royal decree
the Plough Department can not even enter the palace
I was jut sneaking in
If we entered the palace in the open for protection,
that will give them an excuse
We have to enter the palace
But it's not by forcing our way in
Men
Summon One Qu, Kai Yang, Yao Quang, Tai Xue,
Yes Sir
What are they running to the Royal tomb for?
Can't be
I have to report to eunuch Lei
Tai Xue
This is...
Here it is
I only know up to the point the burial objects were brought here
before these outer doors were closed
I don't know anything
about what happened inside
It's fine
Thank you
We know the way inside
You hurry to get back
before anyone finds out
You found this in Tai Xue's room?
Yes
Isn't this the construction map of the Royal Tomb?
Missing the inner chamber map
One Qu, Tai Xue, Yao Quan are not going to the Royal Tomb, are they?
What are they doing there?
Wait a minute
What's wrong?
Let me try it out first
Be careful!
Booby traps of course
Let's jump over
No!
If there are more traps after
We wouldn't know where to retreat to be safe
We will die in here
Wouldn't it be so much better if Kai Yang was here
She would definitely be able to tell where these traps are
There's nothing on the map?
The map only shows position of the rooms and pathways
The traps are the biggest secret to protect the tomb
How can they be recorded
What do we do now?
Let me
You?
Don't forget
I'm the best shield in the flesh
That's right
Loan me your ham
What ham?
It's the Evil Taming Staff
Evil Taming Staff Evil Taming Staff
Loan it to me
You be careful
Don't worry
Tai Xue!
Greetings eunuch Lei
Why did you come back?
I told you to guard the tomb to give you some experience
When you come back in the future
You can take on a more important position
What are you..
Eunuch Lei,
I have something important to report
so I have to hurry back
What is it?
I found out by chance,
Plough Department's people appeared at the Royal Tomb
Plough Department's people?
