Old guy
Oboi is not mad at all.
Even if you have been cheated by him
Oboi is not mad!
What?
Is Oboi pretending to be mad?
Yes.
You have been poisoned with the Dabu pill.
You have to take an antidote once a month.
But since Oboi is pretending to be mad
you will never find him to take the antidote.
In the entire world
in addition to Oboi
only Dr. Li can help you to expel the poison.
So Oboi has known for a long time that
you have defected to Brother and Sister Li.
On that day
he deliberately poured you a little medicine to send you away
you have secret information against Empress Dowager
so that you wouldn't tell it to Brother and Sister Li.
Your Majesty
although Oboi wrecks the country and brings ruin to the people
he's not really mad.
It's the blessing to our Qing Dynasty.
Then
Then I...
Then I will die without regret.
Although I already knew the truth
the fact that you would surrender yourself to me
and reject Brother and Sister Li.
It's obvious that in your heart
there is still respect for my position.
For your loyalty
and service to the imperial household for decades
I will spare your life.
Thank you for the grace, Your Majesty.
For the time being, you will still keep quiet
and cooperate with me
to get Brother and Sister Li and the anti-Party behind them
trapped.
After the success
I will ask Oboi to hand over the antidote of the Dabu pill
so as to save you from future worries.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Stand up.
Don't let Li Yihuan know about it.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Oh, dear.
Oboi is pretending to be mad!
The situation is very critical now.
Not only my identity with Yihua's was exposed
but even the idea that you are secretly helping us
to deliver the message
are definitely exposed.
Kangxi just doesn't want to stir up troubles
so he pretends not to know.
Oh, oh, oh
I...I have said that I would die
because of you sooner or later.
Uncle does not have to be so depressed.
Once I have said
I won't make you complicit in it.
Fortunately, the godfather
doesn't want people in the Zhu Ming Alliance
to know that he has a younger brother.
So...
The true identity of uncle
is only known to the godfather
Yihuan and me.
Right now we are about to leave the Forbidden City
and we can't leave you alone.
This way.
Uncle
you leave here with us.
With you?
I don't want to go with you guys
to do this kind of killing work.
I have been in this Palace for 30 years
and I am used to it.
I can't live outside.
Since uncle is not willing to leave the Forbidden City
I will not force you.
But...
Kangxi knows that
you are secretly helping us to deliver the message.
Then uncle's life in the Palace
is going to be very difficult.
Well.
I'll tell you how to stay alive.
How to live?
How?
You immediately surrender to Kangxi
and report us.
You are saying that I should
report all of you?
Although Kangxi is our enemy
he won't kill Oboi
and Master Xueyi
spared Qingcheng
It shows he is broad-minded
and tolerates people.
So long as you report us
let him know you are loyal
to the Qing Dynasty.
You still have a minimum loyalty.
It is only under our coercion
to secretly deliver the message.
He should be able to spare your life.
As a nephew, it is a little help
to my uncle.
I will report all of you.
Jianqing
I really don't expect
that at this critical moment of life and death
you didn't take care of yourself to escape
nor forced me
to go with you to wander all over the world.
But let me report you
to protect myself.
It seems...
my uncle
in your heart
we have been regarded as your family.
Sure
If I don't care about kinship
I'm no different from the animals.
In the future
how can I
contend with Kangxi
for this world?
Old guy
look at this.
Your Majesty.
It...
It...It...It...
Is it a picture of me?
Look at the small words next to the portrait.
Li Dingguo
Li...Li...Li...
Li...Li Dingguo
Your Majesty
He...Isn't he...
Isn't he the person that the court has been looking for
the leader of the anti-Party?
Yes.
The anti-Party leader wanted by the court
looks exactly like you, Li Defu.
Your Majesty
Oh...Oh...Oh...
What the devil!
Your...Your Majesty
I...I am an orphan.
And I came to the Palace when I was young.
I have been in this Palace for more than 30 years
I have never stepped outside of the Palace
nor had any contact with people outside the Palace.
And I don't know Li Dingguo.
Your Majesty's inspection.
The Empress Dowager also said
that you have been very disciplined in the Palace for decades
in addition to loving a little power
to get some money
and the external relationship is very simple.
So...
You can't have contact with the anti-Party.
Thus, you surrender to me
and I spare your life.
Fine.
Stand up.
Thank you, Your Majesty and Your Grace.
I..
I am so grateful I should shed tears.
Oboi
Just as Jianqing says, the emperor
is broad-minded
and accommodates people who cannot be accommodated.
He will be a wise monarch.
Jianqing is also a great talent.
If he is not a member of anti-Party
he can help me with the emperor
how good that is.
You wicked girl
where are you going?
Big brother, did you find Yihuan?
Not yet.
And you?
No.
I've looked everywhere she likes to go.
Will she go outside of the Palace?
She won't.
If she goes out of the Palace
she would tell me.
She must still be in the Forbidden City.
Yihuan likes to eat.
Would she be in the imperial kitchen?
It's possible.
The imperial kitchen
has not been searched yet.
I'll go right now.
Let's go together.
Dr. Li is also here.
That's great.
It also saves me a trip to the Imperial Health Institute.
to invite Dr. Li to attend the banquet.
The imperial oracle says
Dr. Li, your sister and Consort Li
contributed to the arrest of the assassin sent by Duke Pingxi.
The emperor is deliberately holding a banquet in the imperial garden
and invites Dr. Li, your sister and Consort Li to attend the banquet
and enjoy the moon tonight.
That's all.
Ok.
We will follow the order.
How dare you! On your knees! Now!
You're not qualified to say that.
Yes, Lord Suo.
The emperor says that
we mustn't embarrass Dr. Li
and Consort Li.
You are all the top masters in the Palace.
It must be ensured that Dr. Li
and Consort Li should attend the banquet on time.
There must be no difference.
Yes, Lord Suo.
It's dark now.
Why haven't the Big Brother and Sis. Xue arrived yet?
Did something happen to them in the Palace?
Or shall I go and check?
We can't wait like this all the time.
No.
Aren't you going back to the Palace now to throw yourself into the net
and sign your own death warrant?
How about this?
Junior Sister, you stay here.
Junior Ye and I sneaked into the Palace
to see what happened.
It's not good.
Anything about the situation in the Palace
that is unfamiliar to you.
makes it only more dangerous to rush into it.
I want to tell to Kangxi face to face this time.
Although we are people in the Pearl Valley
we have not done anything that
hurts the world.
I don't believe that Junior Long will confuse right and wrong
and ignore the relationship between us.
My Junior Sister
You just said that I am crazy.
I think you are crazy now.
Do you think Kangxi
is still
the gentle and considerate Junior Long like before?
My Junior Sister
This time I agree with Junior Ye.
We are people in Pearl Valley
and we are irreconcilable with the Qing court.
Although you and Big Brother have saved his life
when it comes to the safety of the Qing court
he won't...
Senior Fan
My Junior Sister, you...
Sis. Fan and Bro. Ye
I'm sorry.
I just poured wooden poison
into your water bottle.
Because I know
you won't let me go back.
But I have already thought about it.
I want to support Bro. Zhu and Sis. Xue.
I want to make it clear to Junior Long face to face.
Don't worry.
After four hours, you will be fine.
I have to leave.
Grandma.
The emperor has sent people to invite Zhu Cixuan and Xue Qingcheng
to go to the imperial garden for a banquet.
It seems the emperor
will drop the net.
But...
Li Yihuan has disappeared.
Didn't you send someone to spy on Li Yihuan?
This Li Yihuan is a schemer.
She is good at flight skills and disguises.
The guards who followed her dared not to be too close.
So...
they lost her.
While the emperor knows that Li Yihuan has disappeared
but doesn't order the closure of the city gate
nor sends people to the city for search.
Could it be the emperor wants to give Li Yihuan a way out.
So he deliberately let her leave?
No.
The emperor was not so confused.
The emperor keeps his equanimity
and does not show any flaws.
Li Yihuan.
They should not be aware that they have been exposed.
He refused to order
the closure of the city gate
because he knows that Zhu Cixuan and Xue Qingcheng
are still in the Palace
and Li Yihuan would not
leave the Palace alone.
Grandma has a point.
It's my mistake.
Well, you...
It's called more care, more trouble.
You have to have confidence in the emperor.
After all, he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
He gets his priorities.
When will the moon be clear and bright?
With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.
Dr.Li
No.
I should call you
Prince Zhu.
How is the moonlight tonight?
The moon
is as soft as water.
It's beautiful.
While it is a pity that there seems to be
a murder behind this moonlight
It's a bit of a killjoy.
A bit of a killjoy.
Prince Zhu has been in the Palace for some time.
It is the first time
we have enjoyed the moon together
like tonight.
Just right.
We have an honest, straight talk
and speak from the heart.
I
am willing.
I ask you
in your mind
what kind of emperor am I?
The emperor is a talented person
young and promising
making great efforts
and learning widely.
What is even more rare is that
the mind is broad
and can tolerate ordinary people.
Young as you are
you have perfected
the art of being emperor.
Unexpectedly, Prince Zhu's
evaluation of me is so high.
But I believe
you are telling the truth.
They all come from the heart.
And do you know
in my heart
the evaluation of you?
I
am all ears.
You are also a talented person
young and promising
making great efforts
and learning widely.
Most important of all is that
you are broad-minded.
You say I can tolerate what ordinary people cannot tolerate.
While you can endure what ordinary people cannot endure.
You are young
and already have the talent for being an emperor.
Unexpectedly
the emperor's evaluation of me is so high.
But I believe
they all come from the heart.
Sincerely.
All right.
You and I
should always be true to each other
and be bosom friends.
Well, let us have a drink together.
But...
being an emperor
is far from being a talent.
It also depends on times
and fate.
Zhu Cixuan
your Ming Dynasty's good fortune has run out.
This world is the world of Aisin Gioro.
If you are a talent
you should know
that a man should act in accordance with the will of God and the times.
If you act against the God
it is ominous.
If you act against the times
you will lose.
Right.
The emperor
is a predicted destiny of the God.
But there is no fixed number of
times and fate.
Your Majesty, you are well-read since childhood
and you should know in history, no alien races can occupy the Central Plain for a long time.
Although the Mongolian Iron Rider occupied the Song Dynasty
and established the Yuan Dynasty,
the rule of the Yuan Dynasty
has always been crumbling.
Although the Yuan Dynasty barely survived
it could not last for a hundred years.
The reason why the Yuan Dynasty failed to last for a hundred years
is that
emperors of the Yuan Dynasty for generations were conceited and self-satisfied
and refuse to learn the culture of the Central Plains.
They are simply repressive using their power.
But I'm different.
I will respect Confucius and Mencius
and carry out Confucianism
to vigorously promote the integration of Manchu and even the various ethnic groups
to seek common development.
At that time
all the ethnic groups in the world will be a family
and they will all be my people.
We Aisin Gioro
will never follow the tracks of the Yuan Dynasty.
Your Majesty, you are overwhelmingly ambitious.
I deeply admire that.
You and I should be mortal enemies in this world.
But
I sincerely wish you
can act on what you say.
Well.
I propose a toast with you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty
It's rare for us to sit here and enjoy the moon with wine.
How about
showing Kungfu to you
Your Majesty.
Excellent!
Prince Zhu is a talent of both literary and military capacity.
I have seen many of your skills.
If I could see your Kungfu again
it would be a great pleasure in life.
Your Majesty
since Qingcheng entered the Palace
everything has been taken care of by Your Majesty.
Qingcheng is deeply grateful.
Today
we are going to leave.
Qingcheng wants to dance for Your Majesty for the first time
and also the last performance.
You bid farewell to me by dancing.
So considerate.
Junior Long, Bro. Zhu
don't beat up.
No matter who is killed
I can't take it.
Budda bless.
Oh, Budda bless.
Master Shengnan
This flower branch and willow branch can also be used as weapons!
Certainly.
Our Central Plains Kungfu is broad and profound
If you reach the highest level
flying flowers and picking leaves
can also hurt people.
Your Majesty.
Junior Long.
Are you ok?
Unexpectedly, at this time
you are still willing to save me.
Bro. Zhu
you promise me that
you won't hurt Junior Long.
I don't want to kill him.
I think you are in his hands
so I put poison on these flowers and leaves.
I want to get him poisoned
so he has to release you.
Where is the antidote now?
As long as he
lets us leave safely
I will hand over the antidote.
You are fine.
I wear the golden silk vest you gave me.
Yihuan
Where have you been before?
We were all worried about you.
I went out of the Palace before.
I meet Sis. Fan and I knew
you are in danger in the Palace.
I came back
to live and die with you.
Big brother.
Songgotu is gone.
Yihuan
You shouldn't have come back.
Kangxi has spread a dragnet.
We can't escape.
Junior Long
Are you really going to kill us all?
The Empress Dowager commands
to wipe out all in your anti-Party.
Ok.
I won't ask you to let us go
but I only have one request.
Kill me.
Kill me with your own hands.
Your Majesty.
Eunuch Li.
Hold him.
Yes, Lord Suo.
Hold him.
Don't waste your time.
You can't escape.
Zhu Cixuan.
Li Yihuan.
Xue Qingcheng.
You are all trapped.
Don't make any last-ditch attempts.
If you surrender to me
I promise I will forgive your past misdeeds.
Your Majesty
let me
arrest
the rest of the Zhu Ming League.
Take it all away.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Zhu Cixuan, Li Yihuan, Xue Qingcheng
You all listened.
Although you are the remnants of the past
you have saved my life many times.
If I kill you now
you will think
I am a ruthless
murderous tyrant.
So
I have decided to give you a chance.
Junior Long
You mean
you're going to let us leave?
If you think that I am a good emperor
and can benefit the people
then I hope that you can stay here
and help me
to create a peaceful and prosperous world.
If you don't want to stay here
I will allow all of you to leave.
Xuanye
today, you pretend to release us generously
you just want to disintegrate our Zhu Ming alliance
without fighting.
Then
you will kill us one by one.
Zhu Cixuan
you don't want to misinterpret what I mean.
If you are still perverse
I am afraid that you will die before recovering the Ming Dynasty.
If you don't want to stay here
I allow you to go out of the Palace.
But stay out of the Palace gate
from now on
you will no longer be my friends
but the enemies of Qing Dynasty.
Xuanye
if you release me today
and one day
you will regret it.
Haven't you said that
I am broad-minded
and can tolerate what ordinary people cannot tolerate?
Like you
I discriminate between love and hate.
You have saved my life many times.
I have received your favor.
Letting you go out of the Palace
it is also a return to it.
Bro. Zhu
Eunuch Li has been poisoned by your leaf dart.
We give him the antidote.
Don't kill innocent people.
Ok.
Did you get hurt, Your Majesty?
I will try this antidote first.
If the antidote works
I'll keep it for you, Your Majesty.
I'm fine.
I wear a golden silk vest.
Li Defu, you just stood up and saved me
and you deserve my pardon for your two great sins.
I pledge my loyalty to you, Your Majesty.
Songgotu.
Your Majesty.
To obey my command
Allow Li Yihuan
Zhu Cixuan
Xue Qingcheng to go out of the Palace.
No arresting is allowed within three days.
After three days
they are my enemies.
Once discovered
kill them immediately
without mercy.
I will obey it.
Have you heard that?
Let them go out of the Palace.
Now
leaving
or staying?
Yihuan
come with me.
The stars are shining in the sky.
I can't look for him in the rain.
This is the moonlight
You can go out.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I want to be the apple of his eye.
and offer him my purest wishes.
My memory is full of flowers.
Blooming the light in my half-life.
The emperor
you are the emperor of Qing Dynasty.
Why
do you set aside the security of the Qing Dynasty?
Grandma
I didn't set aside the security of Qing Dynasty.
You obviously set up trouble for the future.
Grandma
it's easy to kill people
but difficult to destroy their ideas.
Zhu Cixuan is a rare talent with both literary and military capacity.
If he can pledge loyalty to our Qing Dynasty
it will be a blessing to our Qing Dynasty.
If he does not surrender?
Then I pulled his teeth
and cut his claws.
A tiger without teeth and claws
is nothing to worry about.
He is the prince of the Ming Dynasty.
Only by conquering him
can we really conquer the mind of the people.
We Aisin Gioro
can ensure the domination.
What a farsighted idea!
I am not your match.
The efficacy of wooden poison
is finally over.
Junior Sister has been in the Palace for more than four hours.
Why does she still not come out with Big brother and Senior Xue?
Is there anything wrong with it?
No.
I am going to save them.
It is useless to worry about it now.
The efficacy just passed.
At least for a little while
we can move freely.
Senior Fan
can I beg of you one thing?
What is it?
I beg you not to tell anyone
about my elopement with Junior Sister.
It's ok?
Actually, I...
I was really confused just now.
I already understand
the relationship between Junior Sister and Big brother.
I promise that I will never think about it again.
Don't worry.
And I don't want to break
the relationship you have with Big brother.
Besides
you have been helping me in front of master
about things of Wu Yingqi and my.
I also appreciate it in my heart.
Take it easy, Senior Fan.
We grew up together.
Although not relatives
we are better than relatives.
It is also appropriate
to take care of each other.
Somebody is coming.
Big brother.
Senior Xue.
Junior Sister.
You are finally out of danger.
Just now I and Junior Ye were all in a hurry.
It's not suitable to stay here for a long time.
We'd better leave here soon.
Let's get in the cart.
Ok.
Kangxi just released you.
His broad-mind
is indeed admirable.
He is just following Zhuge Liang's strategy
of capturing and releasing Meng Huo seven times.
It's easy to kill us.
But if they can conquer our mind
then the Qing Dynasty
can ensure the domination.
Yes.
We can't be confused by Kangxi's little tricks.
Junior Sister
what's the matter with you?
You seem kind of moody.
I'm fine.
I just think that
we managed it painstakingly
but all in vain.
Sis. Huan.
I know what you are thinking.
I'm very happy
you finally decided to go with me today.
I hope you
can adjust your mind
and return to what you used to be.
Is this Spring Villa
also our stronghold?
Yes.
Fortunately, at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in Beijing suburb
we have built such a stronghold.
These are the memorial tablets of the last emperor
and empress of the Ming Dynasty.
This is the memorial tablet
and the others
are the loyalists of the Ming Dynasty.
Some of them were to protect you
when you were still a baby
and you were chased by the Qing army.
Some were soldiers recovering the Ming Dynasty
and sacrificed themselves.
Huan'er
In the lower world
if they knew
the descendant of the Ming Dynasty
who they sacrificed their lives to survive
not only do not want to revenge for them
but also fell in love with their biggest enemy.
the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
Do you think
they can rest quietly
in their graves?
Duke Jin.
Don't be angry.
Huan'er doesn't mean to betray us.
She just unknowingly
confuses Kangxi's tricks
and is confused by his false feelings.
Huan'er, how silly you are!
How can you believe in
the love and benevolence of an emperor?
This is the greatest deception in the world.
Fortunately, Huan'er has left the Forbidden City
and will never see Kangxi again.
She'll come to her senses.
Ok.
Huan'er
you are now swearing
in the front of the masters.
From now on
you won't see Kangxi again
never love him
make a clean break with him
and you are irreconcilable with him.
Otherwise
You will fall forever into hell
and never be born again.
I
I can't swear it.
because I can't do it.
If I do it, I will deceive all masters.
Besides, I'm afraid to fall forever into hell
and never be born again.
You!
Your Majesty.
Your Grace.
my wife.
all loyalists
I, Li Dingguo, didn't teach my daughter well.
I'm ashamed.
Everyone cannot close their eyes in their graves.
I, Li Dingguo.
How can I still live in this world?
All right.
I am going to stay with you
in the lower world.
Duke Jin.
Godfather, master.
Dr. Fan
you won't stop me.
You shouldn't, Duke Jin.
Dad
It's my fault.
I will swear it.
I swear it, can't I?
But I want to rephrase that.
Even if you don't agree with it
you don't have to stay with them in the lower world.
Just let me die
and ask them for punishment in the lower world.
Tell me anyway.
All deities
and all souls
I, Li Yihuan, swear that
from now on
I will try not to think about him
I will try to forget him.
I will try not...
to see him.
But if I really can't forget him
I will
hide him in a small corner of my heart.
It will
not affect the love of my masters and friends
because of him.
And also it won't because of him
affect the great cause of recovering the Ming Dynasty.
If there is a violation
I will only eat bran and vegetables forever, peasant food.
and no longer enjoy the various delicacies in the world.
In my life
I can only wear coarse linen clothes
and no longer enjoy all the beautiful clothes in the world.
I will become an ugly girl and will dare not look in the mirror.
People will hate me.
People shall spurn me.
Ah!
You!
What a kind of poisonous oath you have?
Master
This
may not be a big deal for us.
But Junior Sister
likes delicacies and beautiful clothes.
The oath
is more poisonous to her than death.
Godfather
all masters
although Yihuan is willful
when facing major issues
she never dares to use lies
to deceive the masters.
Moreover
love
is not what you said that it has
and does not mean that there is nothing.
Yihuan can make this oath
and she is really regretting it.
I beg all masters
can forgive her.
Duke Jin
Prince is right
In a few days
Huan'er will forget that person.
But
She only said to do as much as possible.
What if she can't do it?
Dad
The last thing I'm afraid of in my life is not death.
What I am most afraid of is that I can't eat delicacies
and can't wear beautiful clothes.
What I am most afraid of is getting ugly.
I have made such a poisonous oath.
If you are not satisfied
then you should kill me.
You!
Duke Jin
I have a suggestion.
It can not only reassure everyone
but also ease Yihuan's mind
to stop thinking.
What's the suggestion?
Since Huan'er and the Prince had an engagement first
and they both
reached the age of marriage
we don't want
the recovery of the Ming Dynasty
we could let them
get married soon.
Sounds like a good idea.
That's the deal.
After three days
we will hold a wedding for the Prince and Yihuan.
Your Majesty, please have tea.
Can I drink this tea?
The tea has not been made yet.
Your Majesty
I will give another one.
No need and go away.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Huan'er
where are you?
Do you know I am missing you?
Are you
missing me, too?
Junior Long
I'm missing you now.
Are you missing me?
But I can't miss you anymore.
Otherwise in my life
I will only wear coarse linen clothes
eat bran and vegetables
become
an ugly girl and dare not look in the mirror.
Honestly,
do you really want to marry to your Bro. Zhu
and forget your Junior Long?
Go away.
I don't want to see you.
Go, go, go.
Go away.
Junior Sister
I know you are sick of me.
But I won't go away.
Ye, Brother Ye.
Don't get me wrong.
I don't say let you go.
What are you going to do dressing like this?
I'm here to release you.
Let me go?
Junior Sister
I know you don't love me
and can't go with me.
But I also know that
you don't love the Big brother actually
and you don't really want to marry to him.
Am I Right?
I...
Go to the back door.
I prepared a fast horse for you there.
But...
But what?
Opportunity knocks but once.
If you don't want to see your Dad
die in front of you
you can only run away.
Otherwise
you really will marry Big brother.
At that time
you will regret that it is too late.
Junior Sister
get on the horse.
Junior Sister.
Junior Ye.
It's so late.
Where are you going?
Sis. Fan, it's you.
You scared me.
Junior Sister hears that there are fireflies in the mountain
She wants me to take her to catch some and come back to play.
Really?
Where are fireflies in this mountain?
I think
you want to escape with Junior Sister together.
Sis. Fan, I beg you.
Let me go.
My Junior Sister
I also want you to leave here
but Grand Master and other masters think
you will run away
so specifically sent me to watch you.
Senior Fan
you and Wu Yingqi
also love each other, but cannot be together.
Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
Let's just let the Junior Sister go.
Junior Sister
although my Dad preferred you since childhood
and it still makes me hold a grudge.
I have always loved you as my own sister
and I want you to be happy.
Go now.
Just don't get on the horse now
so as not to alarm the masters.
Wait a little longer and then get on.
Sis. Fan.
Thank you.
Go now.
