The Plough Department Of Song Dynasty
Episode 18
I have found out
that Meng Dong is
the grandson of Yan Zheng who had been executed.
So it's dangerous
since he concealed his identity
in front of us.
Your Majesty.
We cannot set off the fireworks.
Guard!
Imperial guard!
Protect His Majesty.
I have found out
that Meng Dong is the grandson of Yan Zheng
who had been executed.
So it's dangerous
since he concealed his identity
in front of us.
Are you okay?
It's fine.
Be careful!
Guru Demiao
You?
I mean
you?
No.
Not me.
If not,
what's this all about?
I don't know.
Assassin!
Let's protect His Majesty.
Come on!
Come to the rescue.
Hurry up!
Protect his Majesty.
Go!
My empress, are you alright?
It's you.
I never thought
finally I still have to see you in this way.
Yan Zheng is my grandfather.
So
you...
you reached me
just for...
Yeah.
I was taking advantage of you.
But it's fate
led me to you.
I had considered to close up shop
and return to my hometown with grandpa.
But the fact was I came back
only with his memorial tablet.
I... I hate the Plough Department.
I made my goal of revenge.
At that time,
Master Doumu found me.
Master Doumu?
Yes.
My grandpa
were working for him when he was alive.
Actually I knew who you really are.
The odd manufactures you consigned me to produce
attracted me to check your information.
My goal was to win
your trust
and your dependence.
Then we could make the fireworks together.
I just need to made some tricks in fireworks.
It's hard for you and your Department
to escape responsibility of damages in imperial court.
Unfortunately,
neither Master Doumu
nor me,
had counted on
one detail yet.
What's that?
I fell in love with you.
I can't nor do I wanna hurt you.
So I changed the plan.
Instead of the tricks in firework,
I pretended to be master Doumu,
command Demiao to assassinate the emperor
for my revenge.
Because of you,
I failed to revenge
for my grandpa.
But his last wish should be accomplished by me.
I must kill the emperor.
I knew,
such move
whether succeed or not,
There's no way I can leave here alive.
But I want you to see
the fireworks we made together,
especially the one we called it
"Perfect Match".
Don't you remember it?
It's mine. Give it to me.
No way.
I won't give it back.
Get it back.
Nope. Nope.
Give me.
My wooden horse.
Let her go!
Who are you?
How dare you!
You bastard.
Five boys bully a little girl.
Beat him.
Yeah.
Beat him.
Here you go.
Don't cry.
Meeting you
is the luckiest thing
ever happened to me.
Yaoguang
Are you alright?
It's okay.
It's my fault
to let assassin
get the access by chance.
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
How dare you!
I always treated you so well.
But you try to regicide
with your evil motives.
Your Majesty,
I promise there is no doubt of my loyalty.
It's hard for me presuppose all the risks.
Demiao,
You're our savior, right?
It's easy for you
to know all the things
in the past and even future.
Why you failed this time?
You...
Your majesty
It's hard to foresee
the scoundrel blended into my disciples.
So I didn't practice divination
and get the result previously.
Your Majesty,
we had several discussions about religion.
There were so many chances for me
to do harm if I had the bad ambition.
How can I risk doing this?
Your Majesty,
I almost lost my own life.
Please see the truth, Your Majesty.
The truth
won't change just because of your words.
I also won't judge this issue in a hurry.
All in all,
the Plough Department will take charge.
Stand up.
Your Majesty, thanks.
She conspired all this with the assassin.
Your Majesty,
the assassin Meng Dong had
told the truth before he died
that he is the grandson of the culprit Yan Zheng.
Also, he pointed out
both Demiao and Yan zheng
work for a so-called Master Doumu.
By great efforts of her,
he entered the court successfully.
You.
That's nonsense!
It seems that
you have a close relationship with him.
What you need is blaming me
in order to prove your righteous!
Your Majesty,
it's my great honor to draw inspiration
of doctrine and kindness devoutly.
I focus on moral cultivation
rather than evil character.
In other words,
if I'm determined to seek profits,
nowadays I serve Your Majesty
with great gratitude.
Why do I need to conspire with
others on evil things?
There's definitely no goods for me
to work for others.
She gets me wrong.
May I ask for an investigation, Your Majesty.
Full of lies!
Judge Dou Cheng from Court of Judicial review bow to Your Majesty.
Arise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your highness
May I state an important issue?
Speak.
That concerns the murder of Censor Zheng.
Why you notice
such an old case again?
Your Majesty,
A lot of evidence
points to Demiao directly.
In the joint trial,
Xue Liang suddenly pled guilty to all charges.
I thought something fishy
and made covert investigation in Taian.
Though you are cautious,
there was nothing you can meddle with
when you left Taian.
Then all your sins
exposed bit by bit.
I thought
it's a tough investigation at first.
However,
it's easy to
inquiry about all your crimes.
These medicines
are just something exotic
to relieve the pains temporarily.
But by doing this,
the best time for therapy is wasted.
As a result,
some patients died in misery without timely treatment.
How dare you acclaim you're righteous
and did nothing evil!
You have a murderous and merciless heart.
How dare you say you're kind!
You...
You liar!
You set me up.
There's the statement and testimony.
Don't even try to deny it!
I came here with material evidences and witnesses
waiting outside for hearings.
Besides, how about the case of Censor Zheng?
A flawless plan, really?
Do you know Luo Dongshan?
Luo...
What about Luo Dongshan?
He is your lover who
died for you.
After his death, his troops ended up
living as thieves
and were caught by local officials.
They told everything you did
with Luo Dongshan to
murder Censor Zheng.
Right now,
they are under escort
from Taian to the capital city.
Please see the truth, your majesty.
Demiao,
now,
you're out of excuses?
No.
That's not true.
Not true.
Your Majesty.
It's not true!
Your Majesty.
Not me.
I
Come on.
Take her down.
It's my fault to be late.
Your Majesty,
how's it going?
How are you?
It's fine.
Your Highness,
is everything okay?
I'm fine.
You?
It's okay.
A poison needle.
Don't worry about it.
Take her down.
Go!
Protect His Majesty.
Assassins!
Your Majesty.
Catch the assassins!
Your Majesty.
Assassins!
They killed Concubine Shu and crown prince!
Also want me dead!
They are assassins.
Your Majesty, leave now!
We will block their way
whatever it takes!
Hurry up!
Let's go.
Protect His Majesty.
Block their way.
Protect His Majesty.
Hold on,
What wild eyes they have!
Come on! Get them!
That's illusion tricks.
Go!
I beg your Majesty's permission
to set off the fireworks.
What?
I
beg your Majesty's permission
to set off the fireworks.
Dongming said before
there are tricks inside
to hurt people.
He said that's just fireworks.
I believe him.
You...
Go ahead.
Thank you, your Highness.
In love
people easily get sick.
Your majesty,
please be careful.
Yes.
Yeah.
Meng Dong,
Let's enjoy our fireworks.
It's destiny brings us together
and let us know each other.
Fate will tell us
if we can meet again.
Since fate isn't all god's will
then I'll come more often,
to create more chances to see you.
For me, it's not important to
live a long life.
Instead, the experience of life really matters.
No matter what,
it's my greatest luck
to meet you.
I hope you'd go to the court,
or we could share the view together.
Don't worry.
We can make another one
just for ourselves.
H'm
You can call me Meng Dong,
may I ask your name?
I'm Qiao Yu.
Qiao as the woods in the mountain,
Yu as jade of morality.
Your Highness,
His Majesty is poisoned heavily.
Poisoned?
What do you mean?
Your Highness,
The pulse of His Majesty is
weak and fragile.
The irregular pulsation
feels like crackle.
That's...
Stop!
My apology, Your Highness.
Your Majesty,
please wake up.
Your Majesty.
Father.
That's the poison needle
shot by Demiao.
That's the poison.
Dongming?
Can you find a remedy?
Your Highness,
you can convene all the officials now.
You mean...
Though I have made overall research of medicine,
I only saw the poison "lost souls"
in my youth.
And
no remedy exists till now.
How much time does His Majesty has left?
I'm afraid
His Majesty will not wake up...
His Majesty
will not see another day.
What
My father.
Please wake up, father.
Father.
Father!
Now leave us.
May I excuse myself.
Take care, Your Highness.
My son,
Leave us.
I need to stay with
your father alone.
Minister Kang.
all ministers
are still waiting outside.
I know what I should do.
Dongming
is His Majesty
really...
really beyond remedy anyway?
Your Majesty!
Your Highness.
How is His Majesty?
How is he?
Your Highness.
Your Highness,
we need to calm them down.
It's not the time to announce
the illness of His majesty.
But some loyal officials need to
summoned into the court secretly
to stand by.
I'm
utterly confused.
and at a loss.
Minister Kang, I trust you to arrange everything.
Dongming,
Sir,
This...
Eunuch Zhou,
Eunuch Lei,
you take charge of the related issues.
There're things
need to be done.
I
want to stay with His Majesty to the end.
Eunuch Zhou,
only things are handled properly,
can His Majesty pass away in peace.
Eunuch Zhou,
that's right.
There we go.
Come on.
But...
Come on.
My Majesty,
in these years,
you have treated me well,
but I
have hidden something from you.
I always feel guilty.
How we meet
was set by my Master.
Approaching you
was a way to infiltrate in the imperial harem.
But...
why were you so good to me?
I was supposed
to sacrifice myself for
the great undertaking of the Master.
Yet in these years,
I worked hard,
made compromises
only to save your life.
But still
I failed to protect you.
Your Highness.
Where is Kaiyang?
She went to bury the corpse of Meng Dong.
Follow me.
We are a married couple
with the shared fortune.
They want your life and soul
then they have to walk over my dead body.
My love,
that's my own Natal vermin.
Now I cut it in half
and put one into your body.
to prolong your life.
From now on,
We are all bound together.
You live,
I live.
You die.
I follow.
