[Episode 34]
What's that? Stop!
It's the Li Lord's manor. Intruders will die.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
The night is late and quiet,
why are you visiting me, Your Majesty?
In your mind,
I am just an ambitious but spineless child.
I'm not worthy to be your opponent.
That's why you dared to come into the palace, empty-handed without weapons.
But you did not expect that
one day, I would also dare to come see you, empty-handed and by myself.
- Isn't that right? - Yes.
Even just a few days ago,
if I heard such an answer from you,
I would have burst into anger.
But at this moment, I can't help but agree
that you are right.
I ascended the throne at a young age. All I wanted was to re-establish the royal family's magnificence.
I was not familiar with the world. I didn't know about poverty and hardship among the people.
I acted in careless ways,
made a lot of unnecessary mistakes,
and hurt many innocent people.
That day, you told me the throne was like a burning stove.
After thinking over it, I have gained an insight.
I have strayed from virtues and morals,
and I should not crave for the throne.
I have made a decision
to abdicate for a wise successor.
Asule, let's eat!
Eat.
What's the matter?
You don't even know how to eat?
It's alright. I'll feed you.
Don't be afraid. You haven't eaten all day.
Hurry, open your mouth.
Enough now, do you only listen to Princess Little Zhou now?
You won't even listen to Boss?
I'm getting upset.
I'll count to three. If you don't eat, I'll throw it away.
One.
I'm counting to two.
Two.
So obedient. Was that good?
Asule is finally willing to eat?
I went to many stores and finally found his favorite pineapple cakes.
I don't know if they are as good as those in South Huai.
Asule, don't be afraid.
He is Ji Ye, your best friend.
It's better that you feed him.
I'll just sit here. I'll just sit here.
Yu Ran.
I think it's my Aunt.
Quickly put all this away. Quick!
Put this away. Hurry, hurry!
Asule, let's go inside to eat, alright?
Hurry, hurry!
Yu Ran.
Open the door.
- Yu Ran. - Coming!
Sit tight here.
Don't let him make any sound.
Why did it take you so long to open the door?
I was making tea.
Tea?
You never liked drinking tea before.
That was in the past.
I didn't like drinking it before, but I like it now. Anything wrong with it?
I feel rest assured seeing you like this.
You've finally let it go.
Asule, don't you even remember me?
But you need to remember to eat. You haven't eaten all day.
Aren't you hungry? I am hungry.
Have a piece.
There is no poison in it. It's delicious. I'll eat a piece.
Delicious.
It's really delicious.
Asule, I give you two choices.
First, you eat a piece yourself.
Second, I'll hit you unconscious.
When you're unconscious, I'll feed you.
You choose.
Is it good?
Yu Ran, we are far away from home and rely on each other in Eastland.
Originally I wanted you to marry Crown Prince, it was for your sake.
Who would have guess that he would run into such circumstance.
What you really want is probably Qingyang's Calvary, right?
I know Auntie's lifelong dream,
other than recovering your country, is still only recovering your country.
I know that you and Crown Prince did not consummate your marriage.
When things settle down, return to Lower Tang and marry someone you love.
But it can't be Ji Ye.
In this chaotic world, you have to marry someone who holds power.
Only that kind of person can protect you.
And only that kind of man deserves to be entrusted with your lifetime.
You make it sound like Lord Baili also achieved it.
I still say the same.
Who I marry must be the person that I love.
Alright, let's not keep talking about it.
I came to tell you to pack up your things. We may leave Revelation City anytime.
His Majesty has ordered all officials to convene tomorrow.
He may announce to abdicate.
The emperor wants to abdicate?
The situation in the capital is becoming more and more complex. I can't understand the changes clearly.
So we cannot linger here too long.
One the situation is out of control, we must immediately return to South Huai City.
That's enough for now.
I still need to visit Chang Le Palace to meet with First Princess. You should get a good rest.
Just now, what my aunt said,
did you hear it?
I heard it.
Just now, just now, Asule was eating something.
That's great.
It looks like the Emperor is going to abdicate.
Right.
Before the next enthronement, we should get Asule out of here as soon as possible.
The Emperor is suddenly abdicating. At this time, if Asule is discovered alive,
he'll then become a target and no one will let get away.
I didn't expect a water buffalo like you would become smarter.
But outside right now, the soldiers of Li State are all over the place. How can we get out of the city?
If there are not that many people, we can still cope.
But we still need to take him along with us.
Do you remember what Princess Little Zhou said?
Once he's infuriated, we won't be able to control him.
Father, your mind is set and I know I can't stop you,
but is there a need for you to travel light and with only a few attendants?
The little emperor is hosting the feast, saying he will abdicate for a better person.
If I bring the soldiers along, I will be pressurizing the palace then.
I just think there's a conspiracy.
Conspiracy?
In the past, someone saw that Li State kept on changing.
But this time,
it is true we are taking advantage of those changes.
That's why I'm not taking you along.
My daughter took my commander's seal and sat on the border of the garrison.
To Revelation City, this is terrorizing with military force.
What's wrong?
You're worried?
Don't worry.
There aren't many in this world who can lock me down.
And those few are not in Tianqi city.
Okay?
Then Uncle Xie must accompany you.
Ok. I'll listen to you.
Lord.
How is it?
Scouts report that there are five states' armies marching toward the capital.
The feudal princes have finally decided to engage in the battle with me.
The army will need a few more days to arrive at the capital, and they need to pass through Shangyang Pass.
We still have time to prepare.
Lord, how should we respond?
If a wolf pack forms a mutually supportive group to eat the lion,
they will definitely form groups.
But the wolf pack needs a wolf king to be the commander-in-chief.
Otherwise, it's just a mob.
So there's no rush.
Go with me to the Emperor's banquet first
and personally witness the internal fights.
This meeting will be very interesting.
We're leaving.
The two of you are here very early.
Do you know what this grand banquet is for?
Everyone is in the Imperial Court is talking about this. Who doesn't know.
His Majesty is still in prime health, but he wants to abdicate.
I rarely see this in the history of the Imperial Court.
That's right.
Did you hear this? The alliance army of the five states are on their way to the capital.
First Princess secretly sent iron certificates to the states and
said that the Heavenly Samurai fooled everyone.
Here comes Yin Wuyi.
Beloved Subject Su.
it's been 14 years since I ascended to the throne, I very rarely have the chance to be so carefree and happy.
In the past, I've seen all of you confront each other in the Grand Hall.
Of course, I've had my share of angry moments. However, to be like this today,
it is the first time there has been no outright conflicts among the military powers.
I am very pleased and would like to share the joy with all my subjects here.
Fill the cup for me.
Beloved Subject Su,
when I first became emperor, Aunt told me that
all the books in the worlds are held in your chest.
If there's anything I don't understand, I will ask you.
But what Aunt told me, it's all in my brain.
Thank you for remembering.
I'm greatly honored.
What I really envy are your distant travels.
I heard when you were young and travelling, you wrote about and painted the mountains and rivers.
I studied painting too.
I hope that one day, we can be intoxicated by the beauty of the landscape and forget all the sorrows and problems.
If Your Majesty decides to travel among the various states, I would be honored to accompany and serve you
to view all of Great Yin's domain.
I give you my word.
Beloved Subject.
Your Majesty.
Beloved Subject, please get up.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
You have groomed wise men for Great Yin for many years,
and nurtured a fine scholarly trend in the capital.
This cup of wine,
I'm toasting you.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty.
Some time ago, I was headstrong
and demanded First Princess to end her regency.
I gathered some worthy officials to discuss national matters.
You were there too.
Yes, yes.
Later, you realized my stupidity and quit coming.
But I learned much from what you counseled from those days.
I wouldn't dare. I wouldn't dare.
Beloved Subject, please get up.
Minister Li, let's you and I have a drink.
Too much drinking hurts health.
Your Majesty probably should exercise restraint.
You don't need to advise me today.
I have always been thinking
How to become an upstanding, valiant man?
How to be a monarch who achieves dominance worthy of history records?
After meeting you, I suddenly saw the light.
This statement truly reflects you.
Your Majesty, you flatter me.
Your Lordship's predominance in Eastland is feared by all the other lords.
brought the powerful Thunder Calvary to the capital to see me.
Many feudal princes wanted to stop you midway.
But you came in without anyone standing in your way. How heroic it was!
As the lead commander of Revelation City,
you have safeguarded our grand capital as a vessel lord.
So many people who hate you, fear you, but can't do anything about you.
What magnificent dominance!
I envy you.
Your Majesty is hosting a grand banquet
You also took the effort to invite all the officials here.
I fear it's not for saying such unnecessary and unimportant matters, right?
My beloved subjects,
today I have an important announcement.
But before that happens,
I want to ask Minister Li about something.
Your Majesty, please speak.
I would like to see the sword chamber again.
I wonder if you are willing to go with me.
Duke Li likes Revelation City very much, right?
We are the only ones here. Please be frank.
There are no heroes in the kingdom who doesn't want this city.
It's just like the first beauty in the kingdom.
All men would want to look at it.
You compared my capital city with a woman.
This is interesting.
If it were a woman, it has been with me for fourteen years.
I have never looked clearly at her.
You came from afar to lift up her veil.
Are you satisfied?
I prefer her back.
Humans are like this.
What's in your hand already is never as good as the one you desire but can't get.
What happened to the swords in the sword chamber?
They were in my way, so I had them moved.
Your Majesty has brought me up here. What do you want to say to me?
I want to know what happens after I abdicate, how will you treat me?
As long as Li State occupies the capital,
I will guarantee your safety.Your Majesty likes to draw.
If you want to paint landscapes,
then I can have some men take you anywhere you want.
If Your Majesty has any requests, please go ahead and tell me.
None.
Thank you, Minister Li, for all your consideration.
But how can you, in front of me,
take away a person that I cherish?
I will personally destroy her!
Your Majesty, as the most supreme person in the world,
do you want to go to the netherworld together with a country lord?
Didn't you come here today to watch a good show?
The show has started.
We are the main leads.
I already thought about this earlier. You wouldn't give up that easily.
Among people who have held power,
who would give it up that easily?
But is this really worth it?
It's worth it!
To kill a traitor, anything and everything can be sacrificed.
This includes me.
Even though this Grand Qing Pavilion is the highest place in Revelation City,
However, this fire,
I'm afraid, can't hold me down.
Then I will include Grand Qing Palace. If Grand Qing Palace isn't enough,
I'll let the entire Revelation City become your coffin.
Don't kill me.
Stop me and you die!
Kill!
Attack!
The hundreds of civil and military officials should be dead now.
You killed them all?
Then who will be there to oversee your empire and people?
Those military officials couldn't stop traitors coming from outside the gates.
Those civil officials couldn't assist the emperor to pacify the empire. Why can't they be killed?
Bai family has reigned for a thousand years,
yet the throne has actually been passed to an insane person as you.
As for the legitimate Ying Wuyi,
he will die under the hands of a maniac soon.
You are a little bastard.
A little bastard!
Kill!
Duke Li, take a look now.
Your most loyal brothers from Li State are here to save you
but they will die on the way here.
As for every streets and alleys in Revelation City,
will become their graves.
Call off your warriors of death.
If not, I will let the emperor of Great Yin die with them.
We are both trapped in this place of no return. You can't order your soldiers to retreat,
how can I order them to stop?
You are furious.
It's not that there aren't any solutions to resolve this.
This depends on whether you are willing to pay the price.
The first time you came, you saw the late emperor's Chenyin Sword.
For thousand years, everyone said that this is a sword that killed at random.
And the former emperor used this to end the chaos.
If you use this sword to commit suicide, then the world will return to peace and calm.
Before the chaotic world starts, it will end under our hands.
What then?
Will the fire reach Chang Le Palace?
Chang Le Palace is surrounded with a moat.
There is also a full water reservoir inside the palace.
There's no need for you to worry.
Grand Qing Palace is where generations of Bai family's monarchs reigned.
It's a pity that it's burning like that.
From the ruin,
Your Highness can rebuild new glory.
Sir Bicheng, you took the effort to help the dying Qingyang's Crown Prince to live again.
He is the phoenix reborn from fire.
He's already not on the chess board.
No.
He's still here. Every chess piece on the chessboard has a purpose.
They all have a role to play in win or defeat.
Asule!
Go back, Asule. Go back.
Asule!
Asule! Get ahold of yourself!
- Asule! Come to your senses! - Blow the flute!
Keep going.
When he sees any hostile enemies, he loses control.
You make it sound so simple. How can we get him under control when he's like this?
Let's find Princess Xiao Zhou and we can come up with something.
His Majesty is doing this for your sake, Your Highness.
These palace servants have followed Your Highness for too long.
You know too much about His Majesty's secrets.
They can't stay. If His Majesty doesn't come back,
Your Highness may succeed Great Yin's reign,
there will naturally be new servants
to take care of you.
You've all gone crazy!
Gold Chest Iron Scroll. Inside is the future of the dynasty.
His Majesty is passing this on to you, Your Highness.
I don't want the Iron Scroll.
And I don't want his throne.
I just want my brother to be the way he used to be.
I want my brother to be the way he used to be.
Let me go!
Don't block me. It's me!
Where's the State Preceptor?!
State Preceptor. State Preceptor.
- State Preceptor. - Have you found Yu Ran yet?
They are killing people everywhere. I really couldn't get very far.
Prepare the carriage. Gather the warriors waiting at the travelers lodge. I will look for her myself.
State Preceptor, you must not go. If anything were to happen to you,
it'll be the death of me.
Prefecture Princess is smart, she will find a way to be safe.
I plead for State Preceptor not to do rush into anything.
This city is quickly descending into hell.
Do you want Prefecture Princess to die? Get away!
Madame Gong. First Princess has ordered us to escort you to go to Chang Le Palace to avoid the strife.
Lord, speak! I'm about to die!
I want tens of thousands of people to die as my funerary subjects.
Including your daughter, too!
What will die with you is your Bai family's empire.
I have already left my will.
If anything happens to me,
Little Zhou will ascend the throne. I'm giving her the empire.
I am quite relieved.
I have even kept an army for her.
You, Ying Wuyi, will become the murderer of Great Yin's Emperor,
while I will sacrifice myself to execute the traitor.
After today, the Heavenly Samurai Regiment
will be utterly loyal to their death.
At this time, do you still believe in those stale Heavenly Samurai?
You and I are also stale.
Uncle Zhao, are you okay?
Uncle Zhao.
I'm taking a breath.
Uncle Zhao.
If I can't break through this time,
you should take the men and retreat.
Each one you take is one alive. Tell the people of Li State that
Ying Wuyi and his daughter
fought to the foot of Grand Qing Palace,
they almost demolished the emperor's home.
Your Lordship, have you thought it through?
You actually want me to commit suicide.
You are the one to die first.
You...
What are you going to do?!
How dare you to kill the Emperor!
I don't want to kill the Emperor. I want to kill a maniac.
I knew there is a third person,
but I didn't expect him to be you, Iron Royal.
So what that you hold the sword?
You have to die whether you kill me or not!
I want you to commit suicide to preserve your reputation.
Since you don't accept my kindness, people will only find a pile of charred ashes.
Who would have expected it to be the Lion of Li.
I didn't expect the Heavenly Samurai to become the royal family's dogs.
Tianqu isn't anyone's hunting dog.
You will perish in fire as tribute to Heaven on behalf of the Bai family.
Asule, don't look.
Thunder Calvary, follow me, rush forward.
Thunder Calvary, rush forward, don't leave anyone alive!
Asule!
