[ Episode 26 ]
Who's there?
Hurry and go!
- Or else, neither of us will escape! - We must leave together!
The priority is to find the evidence to prove my innocence.
I'm a royal prince. My life won't be in danger!
Who has an idea that can be tried?
Oh... my apology.
Huh...
This won't work, and that won't work!
I think we have to lead in the Imperial Guards to break him out of the prison.
A prison break will work! I agree!
Who will go with me? Raise your hands! Two?
This is my bottle gourd staff, not my hand.
Jing Xin! You!
14th, you haven't done anything for Jing Xin yet,
and you are acting like a strict spouse!
What strict spouse?
Don't talk nonsense!
My health is just fine. (Strict spouse sounds similar to bronchitis)
All right! I am not in the same group as you! I'll go alone!
Xiao Tan!
Cheng Cheng!
Everyone, no need to feel awkward!
A hug, in Xiao Tan's world,
- is very normal. - Are you okay? - How are you doing?
It's a natural behavior when two people are under the influence of hormones!
What are hormones? How much does one kilo cost?
Sir, did 8th Brother not return with you?
We encountered the jailers and His Highness asked me to leave first to find the true culprit.
14th, did your Royal Father make a decision?
Royal Grandmother asked Royal Father to reduce the punishment for 8th Brother.
However, Mo Yi Huai kept interfering in the midst of it.
Royal Father ordered me to investigate jointly with Mo Yi Huai! But with Mo Yi Huai participating,
how can we have a fair conclusion to resolve this case?
Yu Hao, is there anything going on now?
No.
That's right! A few days ago,
Mo Jing Kang was secretly looking to collect related evidence!
I think he must be worried that we would find some evidence.
Since Mo Yi Huai wants to use the assassination attempt to defeat His Highness,
he must have kept some evidence hidden away.
It seems that we'll have to barge into the Crown Prince Manor.
Now that you mention it, I remember
when I was in Mo Yi Huai's library that day,
I saw a secret compartment.
There seemed to be a secret letter in the compartment.
Tan'er! Do you remember the location? Can you draw it?
Of course! I'll draw it right now.
The prison is heavily guarded, but he managed to escape?
Pass along my edict.
Send soldiers to search the 8th Prince Manor right away!
We must recapture this Liu Shang.
Yes.
Who's there?
What was that noise?
Nothing, I was just taking a look.
Could it not be here?
[Royal Command Token]
Crown Prince, the entire manor has been searched inside out.
We didn't find any intruder.
There is one more thing. News has come from the Palace that Liu Shang escaped.
Your Majesty, please have some food.
I have no appetite.
Greetings to the Queen Dowager.
Why didn't Physician Lee come here?
Ever since the previous King passed away, Your Majesty
started to experience sleepliness..
Only I can treat it.
You may leave.
Please rise.
Yes.
Are you Cheng'er or that impersonator?
Your Majesty, this secret letter
is the evidence that can show the real culprit.
That bitch!
It really was her all along!
With this evidence,
not only can it prove Cheng'er's innocence,
it can also prove Mo Yi Huai's evil plan!
Just who are you?
Royal Grandmother. I, Liu Shang,.
is also Mo Lian Cheng.
I am the future Mo Lian Cheng.
Stop!
How dare you! Open your eyes! You dare to block
even the Queen Dowager's palanquin?
Please forgive me, Queen Dowager. The Crown Prince ordered
that without His Majesty's order, everyone must be searched.
Come forward to me.
You are so loyal to the Crown Prince.
I will definitely tell His Majesty about it.
I will have him give you a big reward!
Please spare me, Queen Dowager. Please spare me, Queen Dowager. I know my mistake.
Hurry and get lost!
Proceed!
Royal Mother!
It is the meal hour now.
Why have you come?
Your Majesty, dismiss the rest of the people in here first.
I have something important to discuss.
Yes. Sit here first.
You may all leave!
Royal Mother.
Rise.
Liu Shang? You escape from prison
and still dare to come to my library? How dare you!
Don't be angry, Your Majesty!
I brought him here for a reason.
You can decide after you listen to me.
Liu Shang has discovered the real culprit behind the assassination attempt.
This was Dugu Yan's secret plot.
Liu Shang, submit the evidence to His Majesty.
Yes.
Your Majesty. This is the secret letter.
On the day of the assassination attempt, it was Dugu Yan who sent the assassin.
And the assassin intentionally allowed His Majesty to injure his chest on the left.
Then, he fabricated a royal edict to summon the 8th Prince into the Palace.
After the 8th Prince entered the Palace,
he fell into Dugu Yan's carefully constructed trap.
Dugu Yan did the same thing again
and also injured the 8th Prince's chest
in order to confuse everyone and to frame 8th Prince for the crime.
This handwriting is indeed by Dugu Yan's own hand.
But why is this letter in your hand?
And why are you only handing it over now?
This incident originated with me and therefore we didn't chase it any further.
But now, 8th Prince and I were framed because of this.
We restarted the investigation and
only then did I find out Dugu Yan wanted to silence the witnesses by killing them
and destroy the evidence.
But the assassins left this secret letter behind.
Dugu Yan is dead. This secret letter cannot be a fake.
Based on the evidence and Dugu Yan's personality,
Ro--
Your Majesty should be able to see
that Dugu Yan was indeed the main culprit.
That wench! So you had such a hateful heart!
I was fooled by her for so long!
Your Majesty, I have something else to report.
Report!
Your Majesty.
The Royal Command Token?
Didn't Cheng'er say it was stolen?
It was indeed stolen.
The one who stole the token was none other than
the Crown Prince, Mo Yi Huai.
And this secret letter was found in the Crown Prince Manor.
The Crown Prince hid the evidence
and stole the Royal Command Token. The evidence is now complete.
I ask for His Majesty's wisdom to find the truth.
Mo Yi Huai! What is his motive for stealing the Royal Command Token?
Your Majesty! Right now, the truth has been revealed.
Cheng'er is innocent.
Hurry and issue your edict to release Cheng'er!
He may not be innocent, Royal Mother!
He found a double to play games by my side!
What difference is there between him, Mo Yi Huai, and Dugu Yan?
Your Majesty! Impersonating the prince was entirely my doing!
- It had nothing to do with the 8th Prince! - And who are you?
Why do you look so similar to Cheng'er?
As far as I know, the real Liu Shang is already dead.
You assumed his identity.
What is your motive?
Mo Lian Cheng! I am Mo Lian Cheng!
I am Mo Lian Cheng from a future time!
Royal Father, you might not understand now, but everything I say is true!
I have been to the Magical Spirit Land as well.
I saw the Royal Grandfather, Mo Yi Feng.
My name came from Royal Grandfather's closest friend.
Sir Lian Cheng.
This... Royal Father only told me about that before.
How did you learn of it?
Your Majesty, the time traveling that Cheng'er is talking about,
I found it hard to understand as well on the spur of the moment.
But there are all kinds of mysteries in this vast world.
I believe what Cheng'er says.
I know that he is Cheng'er.
- You are also Cheng'er? - Royal Father, do you still remember?
A bamboo tube Royal Grandfather used to play with when he was alive
and was never seen again after Mo Lian Cheng was born.
In that bamboo tube was a Cosmic Seal that
sealed in Sir Lian Cheng's spirit.
Before Royal Father died,
he once told me
that Sir Lian Cheng's spirit
was sealed inside Cheng'er's body.
Could it be... you really are Cheng'er?
Men!
Announce my edict
immediately absolve the 8th Prince and Liu Shang of all crimes charged!
The Crown Prince, Mo Yi Huai, does not observe the moral teachings of our ancestors and fails to obey my order,
while harboring ill intentions with a scheming mind.
He is immediately stripped of his title of Crown Prince.
I will abide, Your Majesty.
8th Prince, Mo Lian Cheng,
with a worthy character featuring understanding and consideration for others,
skilled in both fighting talent and scholarly discipline, has earned my favor.
Announce the word also that he will succeed me for the throne.
I, your son, thank my Royal Father!
8th Brother. Look at how you are now.
You have fallen so far, and your reputation in tatters..
Instead of clinging to this humiliating life,
why not end your remaining days swiftly?
Drink this cup of wine,
then you can depart with your dignity intact.
Everything I do
has always been righteous and proper,
what wouldn't I dare?
However, you schemed your evil deeds with Mo Yi Huai as his accomplice.
How do you bear to remain alive in this shameful life?
Stop!
Per Royal Father's edict, the 8th Prince Mo Lian Cheng was framed by others!
Now, the truth has been revealed! The 8th Prince and Liu Shang are to be released immediately!
The Imperial Guards are right outside.
If anyone dares to defy this edict, that is an act of utmost disloyalty!
That person is to be executed at once!
8th Brother, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Royal Father has absolved Mo Lian Cheng of the crime.
How could the Royal Father strip you of your title as the Crown Prince?
Not only that. He has also drafted the official edict to leave the throne to Mo Lian Cheng.
We must think of a countermeasure! We can't let our efforts go to waste!
So you had a plan all along.
I have been setting this option secretly, just to deal with this risk.
I never imagined Royal Father would make such an extreme decision.
Therefore, he cannot blame me.
Yun Ying. Order our troop commanders
to attack the Imperial Palace from the North.
The army units will advance through the South Gate.
The Imperial Guards will support the battle from within the Imperial Palace itself.
Tonight at this hour, you must take over the Imperial Palace in my name.
Yes.
Kill!
- So it's you! - Kill!
Kill!
Take care of all these guards.

Stop!
Traitor! Traitor!
You must save yourself, Your Majesty!
My edict for the throne succession
must have been stolen by that traitor!
Mo Yi Huai, attempting to take the throne by force
and intending to seize the power with treacherous ploy, is proven treasonous by his despicable act.
I hope my court officials won't be blinded from the truth
or succumb to the force.
I regret deeply my own mistake.
Therefore, I have decided
to pass the throne to the 8th Royal Prince, Mo Lian Cheng.
My court officials should support him with all your strength.
Eunuch Xue, take this edict to the Royal Dowager.
You must take care of this edict.
Prepare for me a cup of...
poisonous tea.
Your Majesty, you must not! Your Majesty!
Don't delay. Hurry.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
Go. Go to prepare it. Hurry!
Hurry up and get it!
Your Highness!
It seems that you have something important to do.
This late at night. Why don't we send Yun Ying to accompany you for protection?
Yun Yin, take good care of him.
Yes.
What a disloyal son! How dare you take up arms against me!
I was forced to do all this by you, Royal Father.
Royal Father was tricked by 8th Brother,
stripping me of the title of Crown Prince.
In what way am I not as capable as 8th Brother?
Why do you hold such a bias for him?
Me, favor Cheng'er?
Hai'er, do you know that before this,
you have always been the heir apparent to the throne in my heart?
But you used such despicable methods
to incriminate your close family.
Against the moral code, your traitorous act to seize the throne by force,
betraying the path of justice and righteousness, has disappointed me so much.
This was all caused by you!
Tan'er and I were childhood sweethearts.
We had deep feelings for each other.
I was on my knees
begging you to decree our marriage,
but you coldly refused.
I just wanted to spend the rest of my life with the person I loved.
It was you...
It was you who personally ruined my happiness!
So I had no choice but to seize the throne by any method possible
to be able to stay together with Tan'er forever.
That marriage was denied not by my wish.
It came from the edict of your Royal Grandfather before he passed away.
In his edict, Royal Grandfather decreed the marriage between Tan'er and Cheng'er.
It was already determined by fate.
Huai'er.
Just stop now.
You cannot succeed.
If the words of this insurrection gets out,
my army will be dispatched immediately to rescue me.
When the Royal Command Token was in my possession,
I already changed all the military leadership with my loyal relatives.
How would Royal Father have anyone loyal to him left?
I think Royal Father should hurry and draft the edict to cede your throne to me.
Huai'er, you can control my army,
but can you silence all the people in the Kingdom?
Even if I cede this throne to you,
in the eyes of everyone in the world,
you are still the traitorous one who seized the throne by force with treachery.
All the high level Ministers in the Imperial Court have also submitted their loyalty to me.
As for the opinion of the commoners,
I can easily tell them
that Royal Father was gravely ill.
Who among them would learn the truth?
It's late already.
I think Royal Father should just craft the edict to cede the throne!
I am thirsty.
Come. Bring me tea.
Huai'er, I fear that in the end,
you will get nothing in return.
Write the edict immediately!
Write it!
Hurry and write!
I will write it.
Crown Prince.
Huai'er,
let me take a good look at you.
I don't blame you.
In my heart,
you are the Huai'er that I love the most.
Let me hug you one more time.
Royal Father!
Royal Father, what's wrong?
His Highness, His Majesty has already passed away.
Royal Father, your death was not my intent.
I just wanted the throne.
- Come! Royal Physician! - Your Highness, Crown Prince!
- Get the Royal Physician! - Your Highness, Crown Prince, calm down!
Royal Physician!
Crown Prince, we need to seal off the Imperial Palace
and the Royal Dowager's palace immediately.
No one can move freely within the Imperial Court.
Whoever leaks any word of today
will be executed without discussion.
Royal Father always talked about destiny.
What good is destiny anyway?
Royal Father,
I have wronged you.
