Great!
The rain provides timely help over days,
the heat has gone.
How cool I feel!
Your Majesty, when you feel cool,
you can be in a good mood
to enjoy the rain.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
You’ll sleep without any anxiety.
Good point.
When Ji Chang burned Jiang Ziya’s wife,
he had my hatred slaked
and cut his mutual affection
with Jiang Ziya.
In this way,
I’ll see what hope
he could still have.
Now, Ji Chang is nothing, but rotten wood
and useless firewood.
He will never grow.
Even if he’s still alive,
he’s a mere walking dead.
You don’t need to be afraid of him anymore.
Afraid of him?
When was I afraid of him?
I’m not afraid of him.
Nor am I afraid of Bigan.
I haven’t
killed them.
It proves that I’m not afraid of them.
It’s wise of you, Your Majesty.
To crush their hearts is better than killing them.
I really admire you.
All I worry about now
is the Star-picking Pavilion.
Without Jiang Ziya,
its completion is left to the indefinite future.
I wonder when it can be built.
Don’t worry, Your Majesty.
You still have me.
I’ll take the Star-picking Pavilion
as my own child.
As long as
you trust me,
I will
make no efforts to supervise on it.
I don’t mean not to trust you.
However…
Because of Jiang Ziya,
the whole royal court
no longer believes anyone from the immortality land.
I’m inclined to use Fei Zhong
to supervise on the Star-picking Pavilion.
What do you think?
Fei Zhong? You still want to use him?
But…
What? Is there something wrong with you?
Very well.
Your Majesty.
It’s really considerate of you.
But…
Do you really
want to wait for thirty years?
I can’t have you supervised on the project.
But please
kindly assist him.
You must still make sure that
the Star-picking Pavilion will be completed in seven years,
without fail.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You really have a strong sense of integrity.
In this way,
I will really sleep without anxiety.
Please enjoy it, Sister.
This is the tea His Majesty gave me.
It’s the superlative tea.
You really are the consort
His Majesty loves most.
You really are different.
You have the tea from His Majesty.
Sister, tell me
why you suddenly asked me
to see you.
Why do you need a reason?
After the queen was dead,
no one was in charge of the imperial harem.
We also
communicated less.
Now in the palace,
the rumor prevails that
the imperial harem is degenerating.
That’s why
I bring you here
to get together and enjoy the tea.
Yeah.
But it will keep you busy.
You take great pains
to take care of political affairs.
You also need to take care of the imperial harem
to solidify your power.
I’m really jealous of you.
Sister.
I know…
I let you down
a few days ago.
However…
This is a good chance
to deepen our relationship.
We can take care of each other,
in case of problem.
Isn’t that better?
I heard
Lord Wucheng had left the palace,
without reporting to His Majesty.
Why?
Don’t you know?
Since the queen was dead,
my brother
had alienated himself from me.
How could I know
why he did that?
I’m sorry for being late.
Well…
the rules in the imperial harem are really falling.
Even Mrs. Yang dares to come late.
And she sounds so courageous with right reasons.
It’s so annoying.
Today,
Let us get together to have fun.
We’ll talk about the rules
some other day.
Have some tea.
Let me try it.
Isn’t he the bodyguard
for the crown prince?
Yeah.
Before I came,
the crown prince worried about me.
He asked his bodyguard
to protect me.
How could I
refuse his kindness?
You mean you have a patron, huh?
Awesome.
Yeah.
But we’ll see
if the one who protects you
is reliable enough.
You’re still in a mood
to enjoy the tea.
I hear the national treasury is absolutely empty
to build the Star-picking Pavilion.
Why don’t you
take care of the treasury problem?
I’m a mere girl.
How could I take care of
such a big incident?
What…
What about West Marquis?
West Marquis?
I heard
he just killed
Jiang Ziya’s wife today.
According to West Marquis’s character,
I really doubt
if he can afford the accusation.
Will there be any problem?
It seems
you often talk with the crown prince.
You’re thoroughly familiar with
what happens in the palace.
You’re not the only one
to have a keen insight into matters.
What is Yang Jian doing now?
Yang Jian?
Yeah.
Isn’t he
your brother?
What?
I heard
Yang Jian gets on well with Jiang Ziya.
His mistress was killed
on the burning torture pillar
his sister designed.
How do you think
his master will feel
with such a miserable death?
- I… - I…
You first.
No, after you.
I went to
look for Nezha in the bistro.
Did you find him?
No.
I was waiting in vain.
Just as expected.
What were you going to say?
What’s wrong with you today?
No… nothing.
I just tried to
pull out Xuan-Yuan Sword.
Did you pull it out?
Nearly.
What do you mean nearly?
I mean…
I still failed
at last.
If you can’t pull it out,
how will you
fight with Nezha tomorrow?
With my life.
What else can I do?
No way.
Aren’t you seeking your doom then?
I don’t allow that.
But I did.
Since I agreed,
I must brace myself to meet him.
Why are you
pretending to be a hero?
If you really are a hero,
why can’t you…
Sorry.
I…
I made so much of it.
Don’t take it personally.
No.
You’re right.
I’m not a hero.
I’m nothing,
but a selfish asshole.
Brother.
Don’t worry about me.
Nezha is a kid.
But he’s kind and pure.
He’s a real hero.
I believe
he will not kill innocent people at will.
Really?
Tell me, have you got anything?
Consort Yang told the truth.
Now Ji Chang
can barely live.
But I’m not sure
if anything untoward should happen to him.
So if it continues like this,
I’m afraid he can’t go back to Xiqi alive.
What’s wrong with you?
Nothing.
If Ji Chang dies,
your plan will fail.
Therefore,
we must save Ji Chang
and send him back to Xiqi.
Yes, we must.
Why do you look so absentminded?
What should we do?
We must think carefully about it.
Yang Jian…
What?
What is Yang Jian doing now?
You asked me
to inquire about
what Consort Yang said,
actually you wanted to know about Yang Jian,
am I right?
I’m afraid he might harm West Marquis.
In the past,
when I heard you bringing Yang Jian up,
I felt that
you were disgraceful
and I felt angry.
But now when I hear you
talking about Yang Jian,
I really feel jealous
in my heart.
And sometimes,
I hate myself
for being negligible.
The more I think so,
the more I want to make you mine!
Fine, enough!
What feeling is that?
You have no ideal.
Your Majesty.
West Marquis Ji Chang had a cold.
He’s ill in bed, at his last gasp.
I’m afraid…
I’m afraid he’s dying.
What? He’s dying?
How dare he die
before I kill him!
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
I’m afraid
Ji Chang is really disheartened this time.
The number of one's days is fixed. So be it.
He’s dying anyway.
I can’t stop it.
Yeah.
Grand Priest, stop!
This is the resting palace of Consort Su.
She doesn’t like you.
Why do you ask for a snub?
She doesn’t like me,
neither do I.
Oh, my dear.
My dear.
It’s really the destiny.
God helps me!
Your Majesty.
What made you so happy?
Ji Chang is dying!
Finally, he’s dying.
I’m getting rid of
the thorn in my heart.
Is Ji Chang really dying?
Your Majesty.
Didn’t you promise me
not to kill Ji Chang?
Could it be Shen Gongbao again?
I don’t mean to kill him.
He’s dying of illness.
Isn’t it a great joy?
What joy can it be?
As a ninety-year-old man,
he’s ill and alone.
When he’s dying,
he can’t even
meet his families.
How poor he is!
Your Majesty.
Please let go of Ji Chang.
Please allow him
to go back home and meet his families.
Please let him die in peace.
My dear.
What’s…
What’s wrong with you?
It’s not like you.
You keep defending him.
Were you bought over by him?
I’m just not hardhearted enough.
He reminds me of my home
and my father.
I can’t help recalling old memories.
I don’t believe it.
You dare to plead for Ji Chang.
Because of this,
I can kill you.
Your Majesty.
Ji Chang is dying anyway.
But he can’t be dead in Zhaoge.
Why?
Don’t you remember?
Why did you keep him in Zhaoge?
He’s a hostage.
He’ll be more useful
when he’s alive.
He’s old.
But he has 99 sons
far away from Xiqi.
When they know
their father dies in Zhaoge,
how will they react?
Will they not rebel?
Will they not make trouble?
Will they not take revenge?
I never thought of that.
I really haven’t thought of that.
Why didn’t I ever think of it?
Your Majesty.
Shen Gongbao pulled the wool
over your eye.
You must be confused.
He’s unidentified
with evil intents.
He’s been wanting to kill Ji Chang.
What does he really want?
We’re not sure about that.
My dear, tell me.
What should I do now?
What should I do?
Then I have to ask.
Do you believe me
or the Grand Priest?
My dear.
You and I are deep in love
who share the same fate with each other.
I believe you, of course.
If you believe me,
hurry and send Ji Chang back
when he’ll still alive.
He will be grateful.
And he won’t rebel.
His sons
will also not make trouble
to maintain their name of loyalty.
If we let go of him,
won’t we be breeding calamity for the future?
If he doesn’t change his evil mind
and asks his sons to rebel,
what should I do then?
Even if he still wants to rebel,
he doesn’t have a reason.
He will be returning kindness with ingratitude disloyally.
Your Majesty, you’re the king of the Shang.
You can ask all dukes
to kill them
in the name of his rebellion.
At that time, who dares to
disobey you?
When losing credit and people’s support,
Ji Chang will bring ruin upon himself.
It sounds exactly reasonable.
You’re farsighted enough to see the overall situation.
You really are a talent to map out a strategy.
If I hadn’t seen it myself,
I wouldn’t have believed that
you had
such a great plan
as a mere girl.
You’re flattering me, Your Majesty.
I’m a mere girl.
But you’re
a real hero.
Yang Jian, you have guts.
You dare to come,
and even earlier than me.
Cut the crap and take out your weapon.
Sorry, I don’t have one.
What? You don’t have a weapon?
Then how will you fight me?
With my fists.
Poor guy!
Why didn’t you tell me earlier
that you have no weapon?
When you accept my challenge bare-handed,
what grace can I have from defeating you?
If it goes out,
people will think I bullied you.
Without a weapon,
you will lose the interest
in playing with me?
Sure.
Fine, then.
It saves me the trouble.
Why don’t you agree directly?
As long as you become General of Fire,
you’ll have millions of battles to fight
in the future.
You will have great fun!
Boring coward!
I think you just want to play tricks
to bluff it out.
You can’t fool me!
You don’t have a weapon, do you?
That’s easy.
Wait for me!
Don’t leave.
Brother?
Gosh!
I must have overslept.
Yang Jian.
Oh, I know.
He must have gone to
meet Nezha alone
to fight with him.
He didn’t take the sword with him.
He didn’t even take me, either. 471 00:23:23,200  00:23:24,360 How quick you are! 472 00:23:24,440  00:23:26,040 I never go back on my words.
What weapon have you brought me?
Spear or sword?
Long or short?
Light or heavy?
Don’t worry.
I’m a loyal boy.
I won’t bring you
normal weapons.
It can be as good as
my own weapon.
That’ll be fair then.
Really?
Come on. Show me.
Are you kidding me?
How can I use this?
What about this?
The black thing
seems familiar.
What is it?
I’m not sure
what it is.
Oh, I remember.
I saw it before.
In the hall
around twenty meters away
at the northeast corner
in Lord Wucheng’s Mansion.
It was on the black table
at the left lower corner
below the fourth window.
Enough. Enough.
How do you get the great memory?
It’s still vivid in my memory.
But Nezha…
Why do you
have it?
I…
Why do I have it?
None of your business.
Cut the crap.
Yang Jian.
Take it.
I underestimated it.
It’s really a magic weapon.
Yang Jian, doesn’t it fit you?
Perfect it is.
It fits me well.
As if…
it was a weapon
made for me.
According to its change,
it has found its owner.
Since you like it,
it’s yours.
You lost!
I didn’t!
Brother.
Why?
Why did you pierce him?
I…
Brother.
You look absorbed.
Which minister are you thinking of again?
Ji Chang.
You want to save him?
He’s ill in bed.
Undue delay may bring trouble if he stays in Zhaoge.
We must think of a way
to send him back.
Yeah.
If he dies in Zhaoge,
your plan will fail when it’s nearly complicated.
I persuaded the king
to release Ji Chang.
But he’s slow to give an order.
The anxiety is killing me.
So…
I want to make an issue of
the Star-picking Pavilion.
Now the national treasury is almost empty.
If people in Xiqi pay tribute
to help build the Star-picking Pavilion,
The king
must be satisfied.
Then he will dispel his worries
and let go of Ji Chang.
It may work.
But if you advise him directly,
I’m afraid
Shen Gongmao may suspect you
and spoil your plan.
I won’t advise him.
We have a chessman, don’t we?
He obeys
whatever order I give him.
Greetings, Your Grace.
Lord Fei, congratulations on
winning the support of His Majesty
to supervise on the Star-picking Pavilion.
You’re flattering me, Your Grace.
It’s great responsibility to supervise on its construction.
I really keep worrying
about this project.
You’re worried about the expenses, aren’t you?
Your Grace,
you really have great foresight.
Please kindly put in a good word for me
in front of His Majesty
and understand my difficulties.
Sure.
If you’re bold enough,
maybe…
you can still make a lot of money from it.
You must be kidding me, Your Grace.
If it comes true,
I’ll be grateful to you.
Who else could know
the cost to build the Star-picking Pavilion,
except you?
As long as you exaggerate that
the cost for the Star-picking Pavilion is insufficient,
His Majesty will not remain indifferent.
Thank you for enlightening me, Your Majesty.
You helped me quite a lot,
Lord Fei.
I…
should repay you for your kindness.
What should I do?
He’s…
cold
and the next he is hot.
I’ve used all the medicine.
Why isn’t he getting better?
Luckily, he’s tough.
Someone else
would have been dead.
It’s my fault.
What great hatred
does that boy have with your brother?
He was so badly hurt.
It’s my fault.
If I had gone there earlier,
he wouldn’t have been hurt.
Brother.
Is the butterfly I’m making beautiful?
Yes.
Sister.
Can you hear me?
If time can
stop now,
I wish
I would never wake up
even if it’s a dream.
Even if I can’t
touch you at all,
I wouldn’t want to leave you.
I just want to stare at you,
even if you can’t see me
or hear me.
Brother.
Save me, Brother.
Sister.
Brother.
Sister.
Brother.
I’m here.
I will always be here.
Brother.
Brother, what’s wrong with you?
Brother. Finally, you’re awake.
Brother. How do you feel? How do you feel?
Stay calm
Brother.
You’ll break your wound again.
You’re so badly hurt.
Don’t move, will you?
Brother, what do you want?
Tell me and I’ll get it for you.
I’m going to save my sister.
Brother, don’t try to be brave.
You’re not going anywhere now.
Then I’m going to get Nezha.
He will help me.
He must help me.
Okay.
I’ll get him back for you.
Trust me.
I will help you
to get him back.
Uncle.
Which one of us rule the country,
you or me?
You’re the king.
You call the shots, of course.
Okay.
I order you to open the national treasury
and give Fei Zhong
everything in it.
Your Majesty.
To build the Star-picking Pavilion,
almost half of the national treasury
has been used.
Only a little is left.
You can’t use it anymore.
The Star-picking Pavilion must be completed in time.
It’s about the fate of our nation.
Can’t you tell the priorities?
Your Majesty, you take advice from the Grand Priest.
But I don’t.
The fate of nation
depends on loyal ministers and generals,
instead of
good luck
which is invisible and impalpable.
Prime Minister, have you seen Gods?
Then why do you worship Gods
all the year round?
Why do you pray to Gods
in case of any problem?
You…
Anyway, no money for you.
You won’t get any money from the national treasury,
unless I’m no longer
the Prime Minister.
Prime Minister.
Please do me a favor!
If the Star-picking Pavilion can’t be completed in time,
His Majesty
will kill me!
You deserved to be killed long ago.
Prime Minister.
Even if I should die,
I’ll die
after the Star-picking Pavilion is completed.
Before it’s done,
I’ll feel uneasy
even if I’m dead.
Enough.
On my command.
Fei Zhong will be in charge of the national treasury,
instead of Bigan.
Do it without fail.
Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty.
I won’t let you down.
Your Highness, what time is it?
It’s nearly eleven.
Thank you, Prime Minister.
Uncle, what are you laughing at?
Your Majesty.
There’re only a hundred bolts of tough silk
in the national treasury.
Take them all if you want.
How dare you!
Where is my money?
Where are my treasures?
Where…
Where did you take them?
Grand Tutor Wen
is having a war with barbarian tribes in the North Sea soon.
He needs a great sum of money.
I discussed
with Lord Wucheng.
The last money
in the national treasury
is just for Grand Tutor Wen.
So we sent them all to him.
Damn you!
Do you ever respect me, huh?
Don’t worry, Your Majesty.
Lord Wucheng escorted them.
He left days ago.
I’m afraid
he’s on his way back now.
Nothing is left in the national treasury.
What about my Star-picking Pavilion?
How can I build it?
Your Majesty.
Why don’t we collect some more taxes?
Absolutely no.
Father.
Many people
are selling their children
in Zhaoge.
Besides,
many are moving out of Zhaoge.
If we collect more taxes,
Zhaoge will become empty.
Your Majesty.
Why don’t you
order the marquises
to pay tribute of the following three years
in advance?
You made sense.
Get the decree done.
What a great idea!
Unfortunately,
no marquises
will take the order.
Why?
They don’t take my order?
Are they trying to rebel?
Your Majesty.
You killed East Marquis and South Marquis.
And now you expect their sons
to give you money?
North Marquis is obedient.
But Grand Tutor Wen
sent him to the North Sea.
West Marquis is the last one.
But he’s detained in Zhaoge.
Think about it.
Who will take your order?
Your Majesty.
I have an idea.
You’re thinking of
sending West Marquis back home, aren’t you?
How about this?
Ask his son to bring money, grains and jewels to you.
If you’re satisfied,
you’ll release West Marquis.
It’s really wise of you, my dear.
Let’s do it.
Your Grace.
This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
It’s really awesome.
Father.
You charge money to release the hostage.
If it gets out,
your reputation will be ruined.
Rubbish! Do you need to remind me?
I will not give an order
in this way.
I heard Ji Chang has a precious son,
named Bo Yikao.
He’s miraculous in the rumor.
I’ll get him to Zhaoge.
Nezha.
Come out!
Come out right away!
Nezha.
Miss Xiao’e, you’re just in time.
I found
Yang Jian lost this.
I’m on my way to give it back to him.
He’s almost dying.
Why does he still need this?
Stop!
Where are you escaping?
I walk with my own legs.
And I can go anywhere I want.
What do you mean escaping?
Tell me.
Do you admit defeat for yesterday’s fight?
Does your promise to Yang Jian
still count?
He didn’t defeat me.
Why must I promise him?
You don’t think you lost, huh?
I didn’t lose.
Yang Jian lost.
I hurt him
by accident.
But he’s the one to blame.
Bet is bet. You can’t blame anyone else.
Don’t chop logic.
You played tricks when you couldn’t accept losing.
And then you ran away when you caused trouble.
What kind of a hero are you?
You’re a rascal at all!
What does it concern you?
You’re not qualified to teach me.
How disloyal you are!
You’re even worse than animals!
If you keep saying so, I’m not going.
You can go alone.
Asshole.
You even beat a girl!
Fine.
Kill me if you dare!
I’m not afraid of you!
I just threw it to you
so that you could give it back to Yang Jian.
You’re finding excuse again!
Fine.
If I’m such a bad boy in your heart,
see you then.
Yeah.
You’re such a bad boy in my heart.
I hate you!
Even if you have great power,
so what?
You keep finding excuses.
You can’t even
control your own temper.
You’re not qualified to be
General of Fire.
Fuck off!
As far as you can!
I don’t want to see you
in the rest of my life!
Asshole!
What a pity that
Yang Jian trusted you!
He said
you were a real honest hero,
you were kind
and you would never hurt innocent people.
I think he’s just…
Just blind!
Haven’t you left?
Take it.
Did Yang Jian really say that about me?
Say no more. Let’s go back to him.
