[Episode 33]
Crown Prince.
Why are you all here?
I didn't call for you!
What are you doing here? What are you doing here?!
Your Majesty, don't get worked up. Could it be that something big happened?
Aunt.
Your facial appearance.
I have to talk to the First Princess. Leave, all of you.
Can you tell His Majesty why we're here?
Your Majesty, First Princess is glowing with health recently.
And she is more energetic.
We, your subjects, sincerely request Your Majesty,
to allow First Princess Her Highness to resume in the administration of political affairs.
We earnestly request Your Majesty
to allow First Princess Her Highness to resume the administration of political affairs.
Get out.
All of you, get out!
I have drafted the imperial edict.
Please sign it with your imperial jade seal.
Your are my nephew.
I'm sure there's no problem.
Everyone, dismissed.
Your Majesty, you and I both know
In this world, there are not too many people who are loyal and steadfast.
Those you can win their support, I can also turn them around to support me.
But of course, loyal and steadfast people do exist.
Such as the Crown Prince of Qingyang, the one who you called him friend.
It's too bad that you killed him yourself.
Your Majesty, all our people inside the palace were killed.
But Princess Little Zhou should be safe and sound.
There were passersby saw the princess leaving and she took a horse with her.
The horse was carrying the unconscious Crown Prince.
That wasn't the Crown Prince.
That was the ghost returned from hell.
Boss. Boss!
Miss, how can I help you?
I want 10 grams of Antiaris toxicaria powder.
Also, 1.5 grams of Aconitum,
1.5 grams of Bufotoxin, 3.3 grams of realgar,
3.3 grams of Bungarus Parvus toxin. All in the form of dried powder.
Miss, are you planning on harming someone?
That's all poison you're asking for. I can't sell them to you.
- Boss. - No, no, no.
Boss!
Little Sis, I'll be waiting for you in my palace.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Ever since I ascended the throne,
you've always been by my side.
I remember the day I brought you back.
It was snowing heavily in Revelation City.
You curled up by the palace wall, laid there dying.
If I hadn't found you then,
you would have frozen to death.
Since you were young, you were a fussy eater.
I had to feed you spoonful by spoonful.
I always thought you'd with me the whole way.
But you didn't listen well.
You eavesdropped on my secret.
You forced me to kill you.
Little Sis, do you think it deserved to be killed or not?
Just what happened these past years to make you change so much?
I don't even know you anymore.
A person will change.
When I was young, I wanted to be a painter.
The teacher said I had no talent in painting.
The moment I broke the painting brush, I swore that I would never paint a picture again.
Later, I wanted to be a good emperor.
But the imperial court is so corrupt.
It is so difficult to be a good emperor.
Fine.
Then I want to know if for the sake of being a good emperor,
You did all those things without my knowledge.
I called you over so I could tell you everything.
All those men of sacrifice that I kept, you thought their parents were all loyal subjects and good commanders?
Or were they soldiers who fought and died in the battlefield?
It was me who captured all their parents.
Only this way, they had no choice but to stay loyal to me.
That's why all these time you misled people by making them to believe that you were just a weak emperor.
In fact, you wanted to kill your aunt long time ago.
If not because of her attendant Bali Ningqing.
I would have killed her long ago.
That blind man.
Although he is blind, he is quite outstanding.
Hence, in order to hide your secret,
It was you who sent the assassins
to kill Crown Prince.
No.
I killed him with my own hands.
I stabbed him because I wanted to personally send him off.
You've gone crazy.
You're crazy! You've completely gone crazy!
He was your friend!
An emperor stands alone! How can he have any friends?!
But he thinks of you as his friend!
Then I am thankful of him, but as the Son of Heaven-
Does being the Son of Heaven mean you can kill innocent people?
What's innocent?
When I chose to protect you back then, the other women of the palace
were either dead or living lives worth than death!
Were they innocent?
This is the life in court.
All the obstacles that our kingdom faces
has surpassed your imagination.
A little earlier, Aunt was in face to face with me,
forcing me to abdicate.
You didn't see Aunt's face.
She looked young like you,
and terrifyingly beautiful.
It's a secret technique of Celestials.
I know what you're looking for.
You want to know how Crown Prince resurrected.
Then I will tell you.
It's also because of the Celestials!
I will not be bewitched by the Celestials.
But what about our Aunt? What about Ying Wuyi?
Do you want to witness history repeating itself?
I know you're not willing.
Both of us are not willing.
That's why you need to help me.
Right now, you're the only one who can help me.
Help me get rid of the Crown Prince.
I can't do it.
Big brother! Big brother, have you gone crazy?!
Have you gone crazy?! Stop it!
Look at me.
Look at me!
Your brother is a person of flesh and blood.
The Crown Prince is just an outer shell that is controlled by the Celestials.
You want to save a demon?
Or save your brother?
Little accessories! Come take a look!
I'm sorry. Sorry.
Your brother is a person of flesh and blood.
The Crown Prince is just an outer shell that is controlled by the Celestials.
You'd rather save a demon
or save your own brother?
Asule.
Asule!
Asule.
Don't they call you that? Right?
Asule. Asule. Asule
Asule.
In the past, I didn't call you by that name.
I believed that it was the name that was between you and Princess Yuran.
But today, I wanted to call you Asule.
Asule, do you know
you once told me that you wanted to go back to the grasslands?
You also wanted me to visit to Chuwei State.
Because that place is your homeland.
But do you know
that to go back to your homeland
is really difficult.
Asule.
I like you.
Let's go home together, ok?
Is that ok?
Don't be afraid.
I'll be with you.
We'll die together.
I'm doing this wholeheartedly.
Asule.
Asule, don't!
Asule! Asule!
Asule!
Stop!
Asule! Asule, stop!
Asule!
Asule, stop!
Stop, Asule.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
It was me.
It was me who brought you here and you became this way.
You would always protect me
but I didn't protect you.
I was the one who brought you here.
Now
I definitely will bring you back.
What is that?
It's what I brought with me from Nanhuai,
some sweets that I brought to the Capitol.
It's what Asule likes to eat.
But at that time, I never thought the journey to be so long.
I ate a whole bunch during the journey.
I only left him his favorites.
And when I arrived,
I would give it to him to eat.
But in the beginning, he only ate one piece.
I even blamed him for not taking my good intentions into consideration.
But after trying a bite,
I found out that what I brought him
has already gone bad.
He was afraid that I would be unhappy,
so he ate it all.
Asule.
Let's go in first.
Asule.
Look at me. It's me, Yuran.
Take a good look at me again.
I'm your Big Brother.
You don't remember anything?
What's wrong with him?
Why can't he recognize me?
Say your name.
Asule.
Right now, other than his name,
he can't remember anything else.
He is very sensitive to those with bad intentions.
If you come near him with any bad intentions, he will go out of control anytime.
Asule. Just what happened?
How did he end up this way?
Chenyue sorcery.
Why did they have to do this to him?
What happened？
Can you tell us?
Let's go aside to talk.
The Crown Prince found out a shocking secret. But I'm afraid I can't tell you what it is.
But he was assassinated because of it.
The sorcery put upon him was to revive a dying person.
Even though they healed his body, it damaged his conscience.
Is losing his conscience the price he had to pay for that sorcery?
Not only did he lose his conscience,
but he will also be under control of whoever saved him.
If that sorcerer was here, even if they wanted him to kill you two
then he will do it without hesitation.
How can we break this spell?
I think the best thing to do is to take him away from here.
We don't want him to fall into other people's hands.
He remembers this ancient flute.
If he goes out of control, then just play the flute.
Play a melody from his homeland.
Don't ever give him to anyone else.
Other than the two of you, anyone else would harm him.
Hurry and take him away.
But as of right now, the whole city is under surveillance.
Why don't you come with us?
If you knew that I was also sent to kill him,
would you still want me to be with him?
I told Crown Prince many things, but they were all lies.
It was all to help my brother.
A person like me,
doesn't deserve any trust.
Crown Prince.
Take care.
I'm leaving.
Asule is not a dummy.
I also know that you're not a liar.
No matter what has happened,
I want to thank you for saving him.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Your Highness, wait!
Your Highness, why are you alone?
It's raining outside!
Your Highness, be careful of getting sick from the rain.
Was it my brother who sent you to take me back?
Your Highness, what do you mean?
His Majesty is very worried about you roaming outside like this.
He would ask about you a couple times a day.
After the third day, he was very worried. So he ordered us to come and get you.
But we had no idea where you went.
His Majesty ordered us to take these umbrellas, roam around and try to find you.
If we didn't find you, then we couldn't go back to the Palace.
Your Highness, we've been out for a day and a night now.
Even the palanquins had to be replaced a couple times.
How is it any different from arresting me？
That's right, why would Brother tell you about arresting me？
Did you all not bring along the armored soldiers?
We don't dare.
Your Highness, was there some misunderstanding between you and His Majesty?
His Majesty also said if you're not willing to return,
we shouldn't force you by any means.
So all we could do was follow you.
Your Highness, are you willing to go back to the Palace?
Little Sis, you're back.
Big Brother, you're . . . ?
You know that I've always liked painting ever since I was young.
But I am better at drawing birds and flowers, not much of human portraits.
Because flowers and birds are of natural occurrence,
they aren't as difficult and detailed as the demeanor of humans.
These past few days, you haven't been here.
Since I didn't see you, I thought, why not draw your portrait?
It does look quite lifelike.
Big Brother, you were always gifted in drawing even as a child.
Anything that you drew was drawn well.
If the you aren't the person on the portrait,
I probably wouldn't have been able to draw it that well.
Come have a seat and take a look.
Look at how you look in the portrait.
It's appearance is so lively.
That's how you are in my heart.
This can be considered as my best work.
I came to get punishment.
I ordered people to make you some soup, to warm yourself up.
I'm guessing you've already sent Crown Prince away.
I won't punish you.
Actually, after you left, I realized that
I shouldn't have sent you.
You wouldn't be able to do it.
Because you like him.
Falling for someone is a good thing.
I once worried that you wouldn't fall for anyone.
You're very smart.
You make all the fine gentlemen seem dumb.
But I would have never thought that you fell for that silly Crown Prince.
I killed the Crown Prince
to let the Imperial Family of Baishi stand again.
It's my fault for letting him down.
But I've never once regretted
But for letting down the person you love,
I felt bad.
There must be a way to save the Crown Prince, right?
You're so smart. You will find a way.
Big Brother, what's wrong with you?
You're scaring me with the way you're talking.
I have made the decision,
to announce to the world,
that I will abdicate.
Abdicate?
But Crown Prince won't spill your secret.
He doesn't remember anything.
It's not because of the Crown Prince. It's Aunt!
All the dukes and marquis are coming together and planning a coup d'état!
A a coup d'état.
Throughout history, a coup d'état
always involved getting rid of the emperor.
If I don't abdicate,
then the Capital will turn into a battlefield!
How did it end up like this?
Little Sis.
You and I have schemed for so many years.
But in front of the world,
We're just kids.
But..
But you haven't assigned a successor yet.
Even if you abdicated, our Aunt will find another figurehead to control！
There won't be another figurehead！
It's abdication, not abolition.
I can choose my own successor!
The person I've chosen
is you.
