[Recap of previous episode]
[ Episode 27 ]
Why aren't they back yet? Could something have happened?
Xiao Tan, don't worry.
The 8th Prince and Sir Liu Shang are so talented. They will surely return safely.
They have returned!!
Let's go!
Your Highness! Are you okay?
They didn't do anything to you, right?
Thankfully, his face is still okay. Or else, a handsome guy would have been wasted!
Are you really concerned for my well being?
Of course! You're my leader!
I have to depend on you to get a promotion and rise to the top in this life!
Your Highness, Your Highness! His Majesty has passed away!
The verbal order before his death was to pass the throne to Mo Yi Huai!
Royal Father's health was fine! How did he suddenly die?
Scholar! Was Royal Father's fate to be like this?
Royal Father should have lived a long life! Why did he suddenly die?
Could it be...? Could it be because of me?
Yu Hao! Go to find 14th
- and enter the palace with me! - Yes!
Cheng Cheng, don't blame yourself!
You've done enough for everyone.
Mo Yi Huai! Royal Father was healthy! How did he suddenly die?
You must have been plotting in secret!
Or perhaps, you want to steal the throne!
If you have any questions,
why don't I take you to the side hall to give you the explanation in detail? How about that?
14th, be quiet. Don't utter careless words.
Don't hold it against him, Crown Prince.
Naturally, I will not.
The Queen Dowager has arrived!
Greetings, Royal Grandmother.
You may rise.
- Yes. - Yes. - Yes.
Crown Prince. Did you station a heavy guard outside the hall because you are going to deal with me, an old hag?
Why do you say that, Royal Grandmother?
Royal Father just passed away. I just wanted to increase security in the palace.
The King has passed away and as his mother,
I don't want unnecessary people disturbing the King's final rest!
You! Tell the soldiers to retreat immediately!
Yes.
Cheng'er, Xuan'er. I have something to say to the Crown Prince alone.
You two may leave.
- Yes. - Yes.
Crown Prince. When the King passed away, only you and the 9th Prince were present.
Tell me. Why did the Emperor suddenly die?
It was my fault.
Royal Father's energy was exhausted by attending to the affairs of the kingdom.
His health suffered from excessive work, so that...
I should have advised Royal Father to rest well.
Queen Dowager!
This humble servant, should have served His Majesty better, but he left so suddenly.
Eunuch Xue, for His Majesty to have a loyal person like you serving by his side,
I... am very grateful.
Crown Prince! The King's death seems suspicious!
You'd better give me and all the people of this entire world an explanation!
May Your Majesty live ten thousand years in prosperity!
Rise, my beloved officials!
Thank you, Your Majesty!
Announce my decree 8th Royal Prince, Mo Lian Cheng, for having lied to the late King,
and attempted treacherous acts as a disloyal subject. He is hereby ordered to be immediately executed.
His strategist, Liu Shang, having assisted him as an accomplice in the rebellion! He, therefore, is also to be executed!
Your Majesty, I have already searched the 8th Prince Manor.
I did not find either the traitor, Mo Lian Cheng or his accomplice, Liu Shang.
The Second Daughter of the Qu family, Qu Tan'er, is also missing.
Search the entire capital! These three people must be captured!
Tan'er!
Are you okay? Can you stand?
Jing Xin!
- I'm fine. - Come.
Soldiers of the realm,
what do you require?
[ Wanted Notice: 14th Royal Prince]
It's them!
Forward!
Don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you.
Take them away!
Hurry up!
Why didn't you let me go?
If we fight with them, more soldiers will be drawn here.
As long as we leave here, I will find a way to save them.
That's right. 14th is a prince. He'll be fine.
We must leave this place first and meet up with Yu Hao.
As for saving them, we'll have to plan it out later.
Let's go.
- Your Majesty. - What is it?
The Royal Guards have captured the 14th Prince and Lady Qu's personal maid, Jing Xin.
They have been sent to the prison awaiting your order.
Buddha, please protect Xiao Tan and everyone. Keep them safe!
Jing Xin, don't be afraid! I'm here, I will definitely protect you.
14th Prince, I am not worried about myself.
I hope the heavens can protect
Xiao Tan and the Prince and help them escape from this place!
Heavens, please help them!
They are good people and will be blessed. Surely they will be able to escape.
Who is going to escape?
Mo Yi Huai! What have I done wrong? Why have you arrested me?
I am the Son of the Heavens. I can imprison whoever I want.
Jing Xin.
Where has your Lady gone?
Don't be afraid. Tell me. I also want to bring her back.
I want to tell the world that I will crown Tan'er as my Queen.
I... don't know where my Lady went.
So you won't take the easy way out but rather the hard one?
I'll ask you one more time. Where did your Lady run off to?
Speak!
- Guard, come! - Present!
No matter what you have to do. Make her talk!
Don't worry, Your Majesty! No matter what I have to do, I'll pry this wench's mouth open!
Don't hit her! Jing Xin! Don't hit her!
Mo Yi Huai! I'm warning you. Don't hit her!
I am talking to you. Come hit me if you have the guts!
- Jing Xin! Stop, stop hitting her! - Are you going to talk or not?
Jing Xin! Jing Xin!
Stop hitting her! Stop hitting her!
- Jing Kang, spread the word. - Jing Xin!
If they won't return,
the Queen Dowager, Mo Jing Xuan, and Jing Xin will all die.
Yes.
Look over there!
Search carefully!
Go over there!
Your Highness!
The number of soldiers chasing us is getting larger and larger.
If this continues
we'll be discovered eventually. I'll go to distract them!
You can't! Mo Yi Huai's biggest target is the two of us.
If you rashly appear, isn't that walking straight into his trap?
But we can't keep going like this. We can't just sit around waiting for our doom.
Your Highness, let me go. Nothing will go wrong.
That's good. Be careful.
- Don't worry, Your Highness! - Wait!
Do you remember the place that 14th and I would go when we made mistakes as children?
I remember.
Go to distract the soldiers and lead them away.
Then, look for word on 14th and meet up with us there.
Yes.
Your Highness, take care!
I wonder how Jing Xin is doing!
Don't panic. We'll save Jing Xin.
It's just not the right time yet.
Yes. We have to have a thorough plan to turn things around swiftly with one attack.
Let's go to the rendezvous point to meet up with Yu Hao and then figure out what to do next.
Jing Xin! Jing Xin!
Wake up! Come to eat some food.
Thank you, 14th Prince. I don't need it.
Jing Xin! Don't be polite with me!
I watched you suffer alone, but I couldn't share any of the burden.
It's really...
♫ The moon waxes and wanes, who desires to be alone? ♫
♫ Enjoying the music alone while looking at the lantern's light, comes to an end. ♫
14th Prince... please do not say that.
Jing Xin is always thinking,
how thankful, she is here with you.
Or else, it'd be so difficult if you were all alone.
Jing Xin! You always think on my behalf!
Actually...
Actually, I fell in love with you the first time I saw you at the 8th Prince Manor!
When I saw your smile,
I thought you were the purest and prettiest person in this world!
Now,
you and I are imprisoned here. Mo Yi Huai could kill us at any time!
If I continued to keep these words a secret,
I'm afraid it'll be too late.
Jing Xin! I just want to know,
do you have me in your heart?
14th Prince, how can you say these words?
I am just a maid in the 8th Prince Manor.
I... am not worthy of your love.
Jing Xin! I am being sincere!
Do you think I'm someone who cares about stature and title?
You may not care about it,
but I must care about it on your behalf!
14th Prince, you are a royal prince. Naturally, you should find
a noble lady who is both beautiful, elegant, and excels at everything.
I... am just a lowly servant.
I am not worthy of your affection. Even if in my heart, I...
♫ Willing to ride the wind to come and go ♫
♫as flourishing blossoms fall all over the ground ♫
I do not dare to have any high hopes.
Jing Xin! What did you just say?
You said that you have what for me in your heart?
Jing Xin! You like me too, right?
Right?
Jing Xin!
♫ After an elegant night of fun, whose heads will be together in the background? ♫
What is that mark on your hand?
This mark is a sign of the life and death pact that I made when I saved Tan'er in a different time dimension.
Thankfully, she doesn't have it yet. I can leave with ease.
It makes no difference if she has no life and death pact mark. If you are gone, Tan'er...
That's why you must watch over Tan'er. Don't let her do anything foolish.
However... this life and death oath is quite magical. It can even make someone give up their life.
If you can even give up your life, then giving up anything else will not be difficult.
If... this life and death pact could be changed,
perhaps... it could allow the spirits to be joined together.
However, who would want others to know what they think in their mind?
Don't you want me to know what you're thinking?
I want to know what you experienced with Tan'er in the future, and what I missed.
Then let's review it tomorrow.
This way, it will be good for you, me, and Tan'er.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
How are things in the palace?
The Dowager Queen has been put under house arrest.
The 14th Prince and Jing Xin are now locked in prison. The palace is under heavy guard.
Since they have been imprisoned, then Mo Yi Huai won't kill them immediately.
Since you are from the future, you should know, after Dong Yue came to this,
the endings of me, Mo Yi Huai, and 14th.
I'm not originally from your world as it is now.
My arrival here this time, caused a distortion in the time and space of this world.
So many things are different from what I had gone through before.
Tan'er became the 8th Princess Consort early on and Qu Jiang Lin was never exiled.
And Royal Father... didn't die.
So I also don't know what will happen.
We can only do the best we can.
Don't worry. No matter what, I won't allow Mo Yi Huai to continue his evil acts.
14th Prince! The Queen Dowager sent me to get you out.
I sent away all the other guards. Please come with me.
- Then is Royal Grandmother all right? - Her Majesty is doing fine.
Your Highness, it isn't suitable to talk here. Leave with me first.
Then since it's like this, set her free too!
Your Highness! The palace is heavily guarded. I'm afraid you can't escape if you bring her along!
- But... - Please stop hesitating!
If you still won't leave, they're going to return!
Your Highness, right now everyone should get out the best they can.
Once you get outside, you can find and use Xiao Tan and the 8th Prince!
All right? Hurry now and leave!
- Hurry and leave! - Your Highness.
- Your Highness, let's go. - Go!
- If we don't go now, it will be too late! - Jing Xin!
- Hurry and go! - I'll come back to save you!
Jing Xin!
Stop!
- Brother. - He doesn't look familiar.
He's a visitor, a visitor.
A visitor? Why is there a visitor at this hour?
Why does he look like the 14th Prince?
- You're seeing things wrong! - Come out!
Your Highness, run!
Get up!
Greetings, 9th Prince!
- Your acting isn't bad. - I thank you, Your Highness, for your praise.
- Reward him! - I thank you, Your Highness!
You looked for me in such a rush. What is the matter?
Right now, I must be frank.
My senses are quickly deteriorating.
I'm afraid the day I totally disappear is around the corner.
Everything you saw before about what happened to me and Tan'er
is to help you understand the love between me and Tan'er.
This way, when I leave, you can take good care of Tan'er.
Tan'er... I'll leave her to you.
You and I are the same person.
Don't worry. I will definitely love her in the same way as you did.
There is one more thing. If you get the throne back one day,
remember, don't kill Mo Yi Huai.
He was a pitiful person.
I will do as you say.
Let's go back quickly. Or else, if we stay here too long,
who knows what Tan'er will think?
Go on.
Next.
Go.
Wait!
Go, go, go.
Go!
Next!
Hurry and go. Next. Go.
Next. Wait!
You. Raise your head!
This person is a friend, here to accompany me. Does he have to be inspected?
Since he is General Wei's friend, of course he doesn't have to be inspected.
Go on. Next!
Go!
That's what happened. So I returned immediately to alert Your Majesty.
Wei Zhong Heng also got involved in this?
Your Majesty. It seems that we must hunt them down quickly!
Or else, things might become more troublesome.
There's no need. If this person participates, it makes things easier.
Yun Ying, just have someone follow Mo Jing Xuan. You don't need to pull in the net immediately.
Yes.
Why?
We might not catch them all if we pull in the net too quickly.
If we let those two Mo Lian Chengs escape again, it will become harder to recapture them.
Now, Wei Zhong Heng has joined in as well. Mo Lian Cheng will definitely use his strength to counterattack at the right time.
As long as we just follow along, I can naturally draw all of them out and capture them!
Right now, if we want to defeat Mo Yi Huai,
we have to obtain the support of all the troops stationed in each village.
However, I don't have the Royal Command Token any longer.
It will be difficult to dispatch troops from the Imperial Capital.
Why make things so complicated?
After night falls, I'll find a way to get inside
and bring them out!
I think that will definitely work!
You must not!
The palace is heavily guarded. Mo Yi Huai is alert and ready.
He might already have a trap in place just waiting for us.
That's right. Senior, you are not familiar with the way the palace is laid out.
Acting rashly is more dangerous.
8th Brother!
14th? Shouldn't you be with Jing Xin?
Perhaps the Head Guard saw that he was a prince
and thought that he looked harmless,
and therefore set him free out of pity! Right?
It wouldn't be that simple.
14th! How did you escape?
General Wei saved me!
Greetings, Your Highness.
This is...?
This is also me.
I'll tell you the details later.
General Wei, extending your helping hand this time, while overlooking our past grudges,
I express my gratitude to you again.
I do not dare.
Even though I once had a misunderstanding of you,
I have learned since, that it was provoked by others with evil intentions. The Imperial Court is experiencing a deep crisis now.
Even though I am but a rough brute, I still know about righteous order and ethical codes.
Therefore, I am more than willing to help Your Highness.
Then what about Jing Xin? Why isn't she with you?
I was useless. I couldn't bring her out.
14th, how did you escape the prison?
Could it be a trap?
No, no! Royal Grandmother sent someone to save me!
I saw 14th Prince wanting to leave the city.
So I helped him leave and brought him here from the city.
If not for General Wei, I'm afraid I couldn't even get past the city gate!
The journey here was not very smooth.
Come on, talk it over. I am worried to death.
- 8th Brother, what are you thinking about? - Aiya!
He must be thinking about the situation.
Don't bother him now, huh!
It affects his thinking!
Your Highness, you couldn't still be suspecting me, could you?
You are thinking too much, General Wei.
I just think that everything went too smoothly.
Perhaps this is Mo Yi Huai's trap.
That's right. I have the same feeling.
But there is one thing I don't understand either.
If Mo Yi Huai used 14th as bait,
why haven't the soldiers appeared yet?
Mo Yi Huai may be worried that we will act separately.
So, even if he is following 14th, he may not catch all of us.
So instead he let 14th run to us and tell us about what was happening in the palace
and then lures us into the prepared trap
- to take us down in one swell swoop. - That must be the case.
And right now, Mo Yi Huai has probably begun watching
the troops General Wei commands. We must be careful.
If it is as Your Highness says,
then aren't my troops...
Please don't be too concerned. I already have a plan.
Tomorrow, can you take your troops
and attack the front of the palace to get the attention of Mo Yi Huai's main force?
Then we will lead an elite team to infiltrate the Imperial Palace.
That's perfect! We'll lead elite soldiers to save Royal Grandmother
and Jing Xin. Then we can go after Mo Yi Huai directly!
To defeat the enemy, you must capture their leader first.
That's exactly right. During the time of our attack,
I will leave Tan'er in Senior Liu's care.
Senior, you must keep Tan'er safe.
Don't worry! I can do that with my eyes closed!
Tan'er. You must be very obedient.
I got it. You must be careful too.
Go!
It really is as you thought.
Mo Yi Huai has sent the main force of his army to battle General Wei.
The palace is not as fortified with security now.
It all happened very smoothly. It seems that they really fell for it.
At this moment, we must split up along two paths. One group will save the Queen Dowager and Jing Xin.
The other group will follow me to the Royal Study.
We must control Mo Yi Huai before General Wei retreats.
8th Brother! Mo Yi Huai is hard to control. You only have a chance if you both go together.
I know where Royal Grandmother and Jing Xin are being held. I will go to save them.
14th, there may be traps where Royal Grandmother and Jing Xin are being held.
- You-- - 8th Brother, don't worry!
Since the number of the solders has already been thinned out, I will be fine. There shouldn't be that much danger.
Don't worry!
Take some more people then, just in case.
Yes!
