[Episode 33]
Is Consort Ning inviting me to go on a trip with her?
The chaos just settled, and you ran away. It's not good, isn't it?
I brought you here because I have a request.
Please do tell.
I hope you can leave the Great Liang.
The further the better.
Why would you say that?
I think you already know
that ever since you convinced the governors in the court,
His Majesty secretly sent people to investigate military errors.
He just wants an excuse to take away your power.
If this continues,
Do you know what's waiting for you?
The bridge will be destroyed after everyone gets to the other side of the river.
Of course I know.
It's very dangerous when the subordinate is more achieved than his leader.
Just like my father.
Since you have thought everything through,
I don't need to say more.
Go ahead.
You're willing to let me go?
If there is a next life, I hope that I can
live an ordinary life with you.
I bid farewell.
Wei Guang, I hope...
you can be away from the black hole of politics.
It's good you're far away from this.
But, I also hope you can stay by my side.
I don't want you to leave.
I can't do it...I regret this, Wei Guang.
Wei Guang, don't leave.
Wei Guang! Wei Guang don't go!
♫ Frost is shaken onto the ground, the clouds lift it up ♫
♫ Allow time to remove your yearning ♫
Was it funny to you?
♫ The dim starlight slide down from my palm ♫
♫ Hear the words right from the world's heart ♫
♫ The fireflies in the sky bring color to my wings ♫
Are you still being stubborn? ♫ Pacifying the dim light ♫
♫
That little attitude of yours can't fool me.
You already knew I couldn't let you go, but you still pretended to.
I just had to teach you a lesson.
Please take back all your toughness in front of me.
In other people's eyes, you are the unbeatable Consort Ning.
In my eyes, you'll always be my Ye Ning Zhi.
I will try best to protect you.
Even though I'm weak for now.
♫ The dim starlight slide down from my palm ♫
♫ Hear the words right from the world's heart ♫
♫ The fireflies in the sky bring color to my wings ♫
♫ Pacifying the dim light ♫
I will preserve your gentleness to myself.
I'll wipe away your tears. ♫ In my dreams, there are miles of red makeup ♫
♫ I will be with you. ♫
What is it? You haven't said anything for a long time.
Is my illness very strong and no cure?
What are you saying?
It's not your time yet. There is no place for you in the other world.
But I've seen clearly. You're always creasing your brows.
Is it that...
My eyebrows are creased because I was wondering what desserts to bring you,
so that you'd be happy.
Don't comfort me any longer. I know my own sickness.
Lang Kun, I want to live clearly.
I don't want to be so confused about everything.
I don't dare hide things from you.
Your condition is bad, indeed.
But, once I switch a medication and you drink this, you'll be fine.
Remember, you can't have extreme emotional swings.
Consort Ning has arrived!
Your Majesty.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine now. I heard you're going to go with the Emperor to help victims of disaster.
I came because I have something to discuss with you.
What is it?
I want to tell His Majesty to restore your position.
What do you think?
I can't handle so much anymore.
This isn't only my thinking.
Hundreds of officials and all the people think this too.
Really?
Of course.
Don't they all hate me?
I've gotten used to living like this, so it's pretty nice.
Everyday, I drink tea and chat while listening to the lute. I'm very pleased.
If I go back to being Empress, I'll face peoples' plotting each day.
I really don't want to live like that again.
But, Your Majesty.
Consort Ning,
Her Majesty's heart is very frail right now.
You shouldn't force her.
Lang Kun, do you want me to slap you?
No.
Then again, you know my attitude.
What is begged for I won't take, and I won't believe either.
So...
Then, what if it wasn't begged for?
What if His Majesty sincerely wants you to return?
Then, I'll have to see how sincere he really is.
Actually, there are many things,
that I can do only in a royal seat. Right?
Hey, why are you laughing?
You've got that Empress vibe again.
Your Majesty, are you alright?
I'm fine. I'm just a bit tired. I'll rest and be fine.
Your Majesty!
-Your Majesty. -How come you came?
I was running errands and I saw you pacing around.
It's cold these days, you have to take care.
Don't worry, I'll build up my immune system.
Or else, once I wear that phoenix gown,
I'm afraid even walking is hard.
Your Majesty, are you alright? Your Majesty!
Someone! Hurry and come!
Hurry and save her!
Why aren't you talking?
Is it my time yet?
Your sickness is very serious.
My skills are not enough and I can't cure you.
How long can I still live for?
That...I'm not so sure.
You doctors just know a bunch of useless talk!
Alright, you can leave.
Yes. I'm leaving.
Lang Kun...
Your Majesty.
Let me take a good look at you.
I want to see you a few more times.
Maybe after a few days...
I'll be gone.
You won't.
With me to care for you, don't worry much.
Where is Ning Zhi?
Consort Ning went to help the victims.
When you see her, tell her...
When she's in front of the Emperor,
To speak nicely about me.
I really miss Yong De Palace.
I want to go back.
I don't want to die here.
I want to restore my position, even if I die...
I want to die at Yong De Palace.
-Greetings, Your Majesty. -Rise.
Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.
I also have something to tell you.
You go first.
Your Majesty, Her Majesty fainted today. Her heart disease has returned.
Really?
How come no one told me?
She had this disease when she was younger.
If it doesn't get more serious, she'll be fine.
Where is she right now?
She's in Yong Lun Palace.
This time that I went to assist the people, many asked,
When the Emperor and Empress would stop arguing.
Those commoners care about my personal life?
Doesn't this show the people care about Her Majesty?
In their eyes, the peace in the royal family is their blessing.
They hope Her Majesty can restore her place and look over the country.
Let me consider it a bit more.
Your Majesty.
There is no hurry.
We are still grieving. I will think about it.
Ban Ling 'er, come here.
I want to make her a female official,
To help assist the people with you.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Ban Ling 'er, why didn't you tell me you wanted to become an official?
I...
I didn't dare tell you.
You used to be a female official. What do I count as?
How could I have the same ranking?
Look at you, stuttering while speaking.
Consort Ning, you helped Ban Ling 'er.
She respects you the most.
She also wants to help the country.
I saw that she really wanted it, so I agreed to it.
Please agree, Your Majesty.
You've said she's very intelligent.
This time when you leave, take her along with you.
I understand.
Please keep restoring Her Majesty in your heart.
I...will consider it.
I've never seen general Wei this relaxed.
Please sit, Lord Lang.
Isn't that so?
There is no war for us to fight, so we are just relaxing, of course.
It's already great to be alive.
If we don't be careful, we will be in danger.
The Hound usually gets killed after the hunt.
Wei Guang, I always have a hunch.
The Prince and Princess' trouble isn't over yet.
I thought so, too.
We still don't know who his birth mother is.
I called you here to take you somewhere.
Your Majesty, this is the intellectual from Qiu Ye,
Dongfang Yu.
What a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Dong Fang.
Chancellor, please leave us.
I would like to have a talk with Mr. Dongfang.
I shall leave now.
Your Majesty, I've passed by your country three times.
Only this time, you invited me in.
Is there any trouble I can help you with?
I've heard a lot about you.
Since that's the case,
I will help you analyze Liang's situation.
The trouble caused by your Princess is still not settled.
And there is more troublesome crisis awaits.
Wei Guang has military power.
Consort Ning has the people's trust.
Even though the empress has no power here, but her people outside
has formed a powerful group.
I heard the three of them are quite close.
If they work together...
What you just said
was quite harsh.
The truth is always hard to hear.
If Wei Guang and the Princess's supporters
gang up together and they connect from outside and inside.
How are you going to stop them?
When a subordinate becomes too powerful, it's big trouble for the country.
Let's change topics.
Your Majesty,
give me five days.
We will find prove for you
to prove that Wei Guang and the Princess are working together.
Mr. Dongfang is the intellectual of Qiuye.
Why did you come here to help Liang?
If I break Wei Guang's scheme,
Your Majesty, would you give my brother, Dongfang Xuan, and I
the chancellor of your country?
None sense!
Wei Guang and the Princess have been fighting with each other.
Why would they work with each other?
The situation changes fast. Even one day feels too long.
There are no permanent enemies.
Just like there are no permanent friends.
If you are confident about Wei Guang,
why did you invite me?
If I can't find any evidence,
your Majesty will fee secure from then on.
So strange. Yan Zheng was dead for a long time.
But his face is not rotten at all.
But his limbs are.
So strange.
Let's go to Yan Kuan's grave and take a look.
Your Majesty, Wei Guang's scheme is very obvious.
His goal is to have you let the Princess
and the Prince off.
So he can find the proper time to rebel.
You will be trapped in the Princess's power circle,
and find the opportunity to rise up.
Your Majesty said that the Princess has been scolding Wei Guang's father in the prison.
Everyone knows that Wei Guang respects his parents very much.
Even so, he is trying to convince the politicians to keep the Princess alive.
If it is not for a long term plan,
what else could it be?
So is he. He looks like he is still alive.
His limbs are rotten, too.
Your Majesty, why do you seem very unhappy?
How about I will change my outfit for you to see?
Sit down. I have something to ask you.
You've been with Consort Ning for a long time,
do you see there is an affair between Consort Ning and Wei Guang?
I know that Consort Ning's heart is for me.
But I don't know about Wei Guang.
Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand Consort Ning.
I've been with Consort Ning for a long time, and she never mentioned Wei Guang.
She always thinks about you.
If you misunderstand Consort Ning like so, she will be upset.
I know. I'm not suspecting Consort Ning.
I just think
that Wei Guang is not very loyal to me.
I don't know if Wei Guang is loyal to you or not.
But I am a woman, I can feel that
Wei Guang cannot let go of Consort Ning.
I also hear that Wei Guang admires Consort Ning.
If not, why isn't he married?
Stop talking!
Your Majesty, Consort Ning is an upright person. There is no way that she is having an affair with Wei Guang.
You need to trust her.
I bet Wei Guang doesn't have guts to do it.
She is my woman. There are so many women in this world,
why is thinking about mine?
Why? Why?
Misters, we've been sitting here for many hours.
I'm not just here to drink, am I?
Of course not. Officer,
you may look outside the window.
That's the Princess and the Prince of Guang Ding.
That's Wei Guang.
Thank god you are from a circus. If it wasn't for you trick,
who would believe us?
Every craftsman has something he is good at.
They don't usually talk about it.
If it wasn't that my mother's teacher said something about it,
we can never guess
Yan Kuan's trick.
The mask works very well. So Yan Kuan and his brother can do whatever they want.
The emperor and we have an agreement. We have to find evidence within five days.
I didn't break my promise. You should know
what to do next, Officer.
Your Majesty.
What took you so long?
Your Majesty, Mr. Dongfang did not lie.
He took me to chase after Wei Guang for fifty km.
We saw that he was meeting with the Princess and the Prince of Guang Ding in an inn.
Did you really see them?
I did. It can't be a mistake.
Wei Guang stayed there for two hours.
He just got back to the capital a little while ago.
No one can blame me for the fact that
Wei Guang deserves to die.
He deserves punishment.
Your Majesty, are you going to kill Wei Guang?
I didn't say that I am going to kill him.
The bandit will kill them.
I don't know anything. Understood?
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Wei Guang,
please send this letter to Wuci.
Your Majesty is asking me to visit Wuci?
Wuci has been very ambitious, but you defeated them.
I heard that Wuci respect talents. The king of Wuci admires you.
Once you are there, network with the politicians of Wuci.
See if they still have the ideas of fighting us.
Yes, your Majesty.
Come with me.
Come this way.
Let's go.
Consort Ning.
I'm fine.
Easy.
Hurry.
-Lord Zhang. -Your Grace.
When will these arrive at the disaster area?
At least five days.
The governors in those areas reported that the people are starving now.
Five days is too long.
The ships from the government
can only take this much.
I've done my best.
Your Grace, I have a suggestion. We can take a shortcut.
We can go over Jilin Mountain.
We can save 2 to 3 days this way.
Mr. Zhou, is her idea workable?
I'm afraid, it's going to be a bit difficult.
Your Grace, there is big trouble.
What is it?
The capital said that general Wei was ambushed by bandits in the mountain.
How could this be? Is Grand Marshal Wei okay?
I don't have the exact word, but some say that general Wei is already dead.
Some also say that he escaped.
When will there be the exact information?
We'll have to wait for the scouts to come back.
-Lord Zhou, take care of here for me. -Yes.
Your Grace.
Your Grace, don't worry.
General Wei has always been lucky. He will be fine.
Take me back to the capital.
Your Majesty, don't worry! The scouts almost have the news!
It's not a proper thing to do!
Your Grace!
Your Majesty, Wei Guang escaped.
You have face to return again!
You promised me that it would not fail!
And he has escaped now!
I deserve to be punished!
Have all the guards investigate.
If they find him, kill him on sight.
Your Majesty, if we make it obvious,
it will alert Noble Consort Ning, and now the people know about this event.
-I'm afraid that... -Wei Guang ganged up with rebels,
so what if I kill a rebel?
Yes.
So search for him in the military camps.
See if he made any moves.
Gather all the politicians and wait for me.
tell them I have important matters to discuss.
Report!
Your Majesty, I have something to report.
Say it.
Governors, please wait for me in the palace.
The rest, follow me.
Yes.
Your Majesty, you are here.
Wei Guang, you tried to rebel, and now you are drinking in the back of the palace.
And you asked to see me in private. How dare you?
If I'm not here, where else would I be?
I think wherever I go
there will be your people coming to kill.
You are saying that I sent people to kill you?
I fought with the bandits and I saw them clearly.
They are not bandits, they are from the Fei Hu army.
I'm the emperor.
If I want to kill you, I can just order it.
Why do I have to hire people to pretend to be bandits?
Why did I send people from Fei Hu to kill you?
You know best.
This is the most poisonous poison.
Put half of this powder in the drink, anyone who drinks it will die miserably.
Are you trying to kill the emperor?
I want to make a bet with you.
I would like the Officer to put the powder in the drink
and not let us see it.
I want to see what he wants to do.
You wanted to kill me because you suspect that I am not loyal to you.
I will prove myself to you right now, and you can see if I'm loyal or not.
Stop saying those fancy words.
I know everything about you meeting the Princess in secret.
Would you like me to continue?
That's Yan Kuan's trick.
You probably don't know that Yan Kuan is still alive.
I've already executed Yan Kuan.
He is dead now!
And I need to listen to you explain how to bing the dead back to life?
It is not hard for Yan Kuan to find someone that looks like him.
Also the people you sent to see me
only saw my back, not my face.
Also, Yan Zheng and Yan Kuan learned the long-lost facing-changing trick.
The Yan Kuan you killed was not the real one,
but a double. Similarly, the one who met with the Princess was also not me.
It was a double after face changing.
Stop talking now.
Take him.
Wait!
Don't your Majesty wants to see
me drink the poisonous wine?
If I drink the poison myself,
you don't have to worry about
how to stop other's from talking.
You are trying to kill yourself?
Of course, I want to live. But whether if I can or cannot,
it depends on the gods and you.
Consort Ning, general Wei rushed into Chang Ning palace.
I will drink all of them,
until you stop me.
My father has always been loyal to the court,
but has ended up being killed by five horses.
I was very angry about it, so I could've started a revolution to revenge for my father.
But I, have not.
The day I named Grand Marshall,
and led a hundred thousand soldiers to fight Wuci.
A hundred thousand soldiers make up 70% of Liang's military.
When a general is outside, all the soldiers only listen to the general.
I could've turned around and attacked the capital.
But I, have not.
The war went on for more than half a year.
So many of my friends died, and I was also badly injured.
Our supplies were taken from the enemies.
As general, I couldn't even have a full meal for days. What about the soldiers?
They had to fight in the battlefield hungry.
I could've retreated with the troops! But I, did not.
The Princess and the Prince of Guang Ding wanted to rebel, and I was spying them.
They almost saw through me multiple times, and
everyday seems like my last day on Earth.
At that time, they've controlled most of the power.
Your Majesty had no power left.
If I turned and work for the princess,
Your Majesty's country will perish forever.
But I, have not!
Don't drink it anymore!
Wei Guang!
