General Ye.
Your Highness.
How is your injury?
What about your eyes?
I'm fine and my eyes aren't hurt.
Sit down.
Your Highness, excuse me.
You have gone through so much
to protect me.
It's my duty to protect you, Your Highness.
Since I have such a loyal and brave general like you,
how come we can't resist foreign aggression
and protect our homeland?
General Ye,
please accept my bow for saving my life.
Please don't, Your Highness .
Even if I sacrificed my life for Your Highness,
Qingti would have nothing to regret for.
I owe you a life.
We are brothers from now on.
As long as I, Song Xuanren, am alive, you, Ye Qingti, will be fine.
Your Highness.
Si Ming hasn't lied to me.
I didn't expect that the backfire can be so strong.
I'm fine.
I will be fine with careful nursing.
As long as His Majesty is safe.
You've saved me. Who are you?
Jiu.
Have you found him, Qingti?
Your Highness,
each battalion has inspected its troops and reported the list.
But it's a pity that
there's no soldier named Jiu on the list of survivors.
The battle was harsh.
I'm afraid he might be...
Jiu is agile
with great Kung Fu.
He could protect himself in the battlefield.
Qingti,
he has saved my life.
You have to find him.
Yes, Your Highness.
Your Highness,
the Crown Prince has come back in triumph,
and arrived at the entrance of the city gate.
The battle with the State of Chong'an
was fierce and caused many casualties.
How come he's still alive?
I heard the Crown Prince was almost killed
by the sword of the Great General of the State of Chong'an.
But it's lucky that there was a soldier who blocked the sword for the Crown Prince,
which saved his life.
It's really lucky of him, isn't it?
Father,
I have no idea what Your Majesty convenes me for.
It was a great triumph.
Thanks, father.
Although our State of Chengyu has won the victory
in the battle between the two countries,
we still suffered heavy casualties.
This is your first battle.
I'm so delighted
with your great performance.
But now
I'm not as healthy as I used to be.
There's one important thing that I have to entrust you with.
What's it, Father?
You come to the Emperor's Tomb with me tomorrow.
Yes. As you command.
Father.
Father,
what's wrong with you?
I'm fine.
I know how I am.
Let's go.
I'll lead you to an important place.
Father, isn't it Lingbi Stone,
the national treasure of our State of Chengyu?
Yeah.
It's the legendary Lingbi Stone.
I heard when the State of Chengyu was originally founded,
our deceased grandfather led the army to resist the strong enemies in the north.
When deceased grandfather was driven to the last ditch,
Lingbi Stone fell from the sky,
and saved his life.
Exactly right.
That year...
Your Majesty,
enemy reinforcements are pouring in, and the military strength is becoming extremely unequal.
We can barely withstand.
General Ye has already led the troop to break out of an encirclement.
We have to hang in there
to wait for the reinforcements.
Transmit my order. Fight till the very end.
Yes.
The deceased Emperor was blessed by it to triumph over enemy troops that year.
Reinforcements arrived in time,
which made us win the great victory.
Our State of Chengyu was protected
from being subjugated.
It seems that folklore is slightly exaggerated,
but it still reveals part of the truth.
When the military returned to the country,
the stone was regarded as a national treasure,
and named Lingbi Stone.
After that, other countries dare not invade,
and our country witnessed decades of peaceful time,
which created enough time for our State of Chengyu to revitalize itself.
To prevent other countries from coveting,
the deceased Emperor took the advantage of constructing the Emperor's Tomb
to build the underground palace,
and hid Lingbi Stone here.
No wonder I haven't seen it before.
Lingbi Stone is the national treasure
that is closely related to the life-and-death of the State of Chengyu.
Only can the emperors of each generation
know where the palace is located.
So I bring you here today
to tell you the secret.
And I'm about to entrust you with the important task
of protecting Lingbi Stone.
Xuanren,
as long as Lingbi Stone is here, the State of Chengyu will be safe.
So you have to protect Lingbi Stone no matter what happens.
Don't worry, father.
I'll guard Lingbi Stone with my life.
It seems it's destiny.
Everyone, see.
Apocalyptic visions appear in the sky.
Isn't there anything important about to happen?
Such apocalyptic visions.
It seems that the soul-locking jade must be in the State of Chengyu.
Lady.
Sir.
Mr. Nie.
Don't get up.
Please have a seat.
Have you felt well recently?
Thanks to the care of Brother Mang.
I've felt well recently.
Have you ever been reminded of anything?
I've been inspecting all around,
but no clues of your falling off a cliff are found.
And your disease...
My disease?
I've felt well these days after taking the medicine you prescribed me.
Is there anything wrong with my disease?
You fell into a flutter the other day,
so I didn't tell you all the story.
Except for the injury due to falling off a cliff,
you're poisoned with something strange.
I've prescribed you with some kinds of herbal medicines,
but they work some times while don't at others.
What a shame on me!
I've promised to take good care of you,
but I neither find out your background
nor cure your disease.
Why do you say that?
You've saved my life.
I'm the one who should be ashamed of
not being able to requite what you've done for me.
Life or death, it's my own destiny.
You don't have to concern yourself with it too much.
About my background,
you don't have to make efforts to inquire.
It seems I'm a negligible person.
Lady,
I've prescribed something new for you
that may have a better effect on your symptoms.
Please have a try.
I feel really sorry to bother you so much.
In fact,
you don't have to spend so much time
on someone like me.
Sir,
what are you doing?
Why are you giving me such a big salute?
You say you're a negligible person,
but from my perspective,
you're someone extremely important.
If you're willing to do me a favor,
I would spare no effort
to repay your kindness.
Please stand up.
Why are you saying so?
I'm the one who's supposed to spare no effort to repay your kindness.
What favor do you ask of me? Feel free to spill it out.
I want to get a treasure,
and I need your help.
What kind of treasure do you want to get?
It's named Lingbi Stone,
which is the world-renowned national treasure.
To tell you the truth,
the treasure is the love token of my late father and mother.
My late father passed way in his early age,
and my family was in straitened circumstances,
so the treasure was lost.
My late mother always missed the treasure when she was alive.
But I was an unfilial son
who was unable to find the treasure,
which made my late mother die with great regret.
Later, I swore
to do my utmost to find the treasure,
and put it in front of the memorial tablets of my late father and mother.
Lady,
if you can help me,
I will be truly appreciated.
Your great filial piety is really impressive.
I should help you out.
But
I have no idea
where Lingbi Stone is.
Lingbi Stone is in the territory of the State of Chengyu.
Then...
then how could I help you?
The State of Chong'an has put an official notice that
whoever can find the treasure
will be rewarded with twenty thousand taels of gold.
The national strength of the State of Chong'an is
far more than that of the State of Chengyu.
If we are able to
get the help of the State of Chong'an,
then twice as much can be accomplished with half of our effort.
It seems you have well prepared.
If only you help me,
it would work.
Rest assured.
I'll do my utmost.
Ren.
Father.
Ren.
You must keep what I've told you
in mind all the time.
Rest assured, father.
I'll do that.
Ying.
Father.
Ying,
you're the elder brother,
and you have to assist the Crown Prince with all your heart.
You have to keep our State of Chengyu
safe and peaceful.
I'll do my best.
Ren,
I can feel free to meet your mother in the heaven.
Hurry up, imperial physician.
His Majesty has passed away.
Father.
Minister Li.
Here I am.
You'll be in charge of funeral arrangements.
I'll obey your instructions.
Entitle Song Xuanying to King Ying,
and reward him with the King Ying's Residence.
Promote Consort Xian to the Empress Dowager.
Thanks for your grace, Your Majesty.
The deceased Emperor has passed away.
I'm about to renovate the Emperor's Tomb.
First, it is to comfort the deceased Emperor in the heaven.
Second, it is to show the fame of the deceased Emperor.
From now on,
Great Minister of Public Works will be responsible for arrangements of renovating the Emperor's Tomb.
I'll obey your instructions.
I've just ascended the throne,
so I shall follow the rules made by the deceased Emperor.
The deceased Emperor advocated industry and thrift when he was alive.
Except the funeral arrangements,
all other arrangements in the imperial palace should be simplified.
The deceased Emperor was kind and considerate towards subjects.
So I'll proclaim a general amnesty
to show the name of the deceased Emperor.
Your Majesty is brilliant.
Your Majesty,
there was one talent calling himself Mr. Nie,
who came to my mansion yesterday.
He said he could get Lingbi Stone.
For sure?
I'm sure.
Come on.
Summon him here.
Call Mr. Nie to report.
Your Majesty, I'm Nie Chuyin.
Mr. Nie,
have you ever seen Lingbi Stone?
If I say I've seen Lingbi Stone before,
no one on site will believe in me.
But everyone here might have known
well of the legendary of Lingbi Stone.
Mr. Nie,
what's your advice? Spill it all out straight.
We can't take Lingbi Stone by force.
I have come up with an idea
that can make us get
Lingbi Stone without the cost of a single soldier.
Tell me more.
Each hero has failed to resist the temptation of beauties since ancient times.
Your Majesty,
we can propose imperial matrimony.
it...
Imperial matrimony... Imperial matrimony... It...
Imperial matrimony.
It's a good idea.
But which beauty can take such a great responsibility?
Your Majesty,
I have a foster sister to show you,
and you can decide
whether she can take the responsibility.
Summon the beauty here.
Summon the beauty to report.
She's coming.
It's true.
She's so gorgeous!
What a vision she is!
She is really a rare beauty.
I, Chu Wan, is bowing to you, Your Majesty.
Head up.
Rise quickly.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
Are you willing to accomplish the imperial matrimony
for the State of Chong'an?
It's my great honor to share your worries, Your Majesty.
Mr. Nie,
as far as you're concerned,
how could we get Lingbi Stone
by the imperial matrimony?
Your Majesty,
if you think my foster sister can take the huge responsibility,
how come you claim her to be your foster daughter,
and marry her to the State of Chengyu as a princess?
Then it'll be easier for her to collect information
about the stone in the imperial palace.
And I'll assist her by her side.
What do you think, Your Majesty?
Guards!
Capture the man.
- Yes. - Yes.
Your Majesty,
what do you mean?
Do you think
presenting an unknown woman to the State of Chengyu
would make them willing to
hand over Lingbi Stone?
It's so ridiculous.
I think you look like a spy from the State of Chengyu.
What's your intention?
How come our powerful State of Chong'an can be manipulated by you?
Guards!
Take the man
to the prison.
- Yes. - Yes.
Outstanding appearance.
Tender and courteous. You're really a beauty of beauties.
If you follow what I've asked for now,
what about entitling you to Imperial Lady Li tomorrow?
Your Majesty,
let me go.
Your Majesty, conduct yourself well.
Beauty.
Since it's what it is,
I won't care for
the backfire anymore.
I haven't imagined that
Your Majesty has such a deep love for my foster sister.
How could you escape from prison?
I've told you before, Your Majesty.
Listen to my advice,
or you'll be regretful.
What I've prepared well is
to assist Your Majesty and the State of Chong'an.
Who on earth are you?
The one coming to help you.
Your Majesty,
if I promise you to bring Chu Wan back to life,
what would you say?
It's impossible.
How could the dead be brought back to life?
Fine.
If you show me how you
bring Chu Wan back to life,
I'll believe in you,
and entitle you to Imperial Tutor.
Then please give me your hand, Your Majesty.
It's...
Your Majesty,
I hope you could make a right decision this time.
If Your Majesty thinks my foster sister
can take the huge responsibility,
how come you claim her to be your foster daughter
and marry her to the State of Chengyu as a princess?
Then she can search for the stone in the imperial palace of the State of Chengyu.
And I'll assist her by her side.
What do you think, Your Majesty?
Chu Wan is gorgeous,
tender and courteous.
It's rare.
I'll claim you as my foster daughter,
and entitle you to Princess.
I'll select a fortunate hour and a lucky day
to send you for the imperial matrimony.
Thanks, Your Majesty.
Bow to you, father.
Rise, Princess.
Sir, you should be rewarded for the good idea.
I'll entitle you to Imperial Tutor of the State of Chong'an.
How...
how could it be?
Thanks, Your Majesty.
Why could he be entitled to Imperial Tutor?
Thanks to all the generals and soldiers fighting so hard at the front,
we have triumphed over the State of Chong'an this time.
Reward all according to their contributions.
Undertake the funeral arrangements for those who have fought to death.
Cure those who are injured.
After they are cured,
allow those who can't fight for the country anymore
to go back to their home and treat them well.
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
Rise.
Ye Qingti, listen to the imperial edict.
Ye Qingti is brave and battlewise, and loyal to the Emperor.
Entitle him to Shenwu General.
I take the edict and thank for the grace of His Majesty.
Have you heard something about the soldier named Jiu?
I'm guilty to let Your Majesty down.
I haven't found his trace yet.
General Ye,
spread my instructions to all
that I will handsomely reward
whoever is able to find Jiu.
Yes.
Rise.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
the State of Chong'an has sent a letter of credence,
saying that they intend to send a beauty for the imperial matrimony.
What do you think of that, Your Majesty?
The Emperor of the State of Chong'an wants to take the advantage of
the imperial matrimony to make peace.
What do you think of that, my deputies?
Your Majesty,
the State of Chong'an always has wild ambitions,
and has been coveting the territory of our country for long.
What they're intending won't be out of goodwill,
which can actually hide something dangerous.
Your Majesty should be wary.
I don't agree with you, General Ye.
National strength of the State of Chong'an is originally far beyond that of ours.
The territory of our country tends to be invaded by them.
Our people are homeless and have to suffer unspeakably.
The State of Chong'an is making overtures to us this time,
which might be a good opportunity for the two countries to make peace.
General Ye, are you only
caring for the achievements you can make on the battlefields
but setting aside the safety of our people, aren't you?
What do you mean, Your Highness?
Since the State of Chong'an has invaded our territory over and over,
we can clearly see their wild ambition.
Now they were overwhelmed and in urgent need of time to recover,
so making overtures to us this time
might be their expedient.
What they really want is to throw off our guard.
Your Majesty,
I think what General Ye has said
does make sense.
Diplomatic relations between the two countries should value peace the most.
We have won the victory this time,
but besides the wide disparity between the two countries,
we have already use up what's in the National Treasury.
We won't be able to survive one more time.
I hope Your Majesty could consider it thoroughly.
Exactly.
If we refuse the proposal of the imperial matrimony,
the State of Chong'an might be furious and provoke the aggression again.
Then there's something I want to ask General Ye.
Do you want your troops to fight on an empty stomach?
Do you think slavishly making overtures would make
the State of Chong'an let off us without a price to pay?
Because of the wide disparity between the two countries,
strengthening troops is our priority.
Stubborn head.
You...
Stop arguing.
I've already made my mind.
I agree
the proposal of imperial matrimony.
Your Majesty.
General Ye,
there have been disputes between the two countries for years.
Innocent lives are killed.
I've had it on my conscience.
I'll follow the deceased Emperor to implement benevolent governance.
I can't see my people suffer from the pain of being homeless and separated
and live in the shadow of wars,
which has made them in a constant state of anxiety.
Since the State of Chong'an intends to make peace,
I have no excuse to refuse the proposal.
As for your strategy of self-strengthening,
I also agree with you.
You'll take charge of training troops.
Withdraw.
Take care, Your Majesty.
Foster brother.
Foster brother, what's wrong with you?
I'm fine.
I'll be fine.
Why are you seriously ill in a sudden?
Foster sister,
I'll introduce someone to you.
I'm Ling Xiang, Your Highness.
Forego formalities.
She is...
Ling Xiang,
introduce yourself.
Yes.
My family was poor in those years,
and my father was seriously ill,
but we had no money to buy medicines.
I sold myself to save my father's life.
And it's lucky for me to meet Mr. Nie
who found good doctors to cure my father
and gave his all to help me.
My father was eventually cured.
I have to requite Mr. Nie
for what he has done for me.
My foster brother is a man of filial piety and chivalry.
He won't set aside someone who's in trouble.
Searching for the treasure this time
is to fulfill his mother's last wish.
What a pity!
I should have accompanied you
to search for the treasure,
but I haven't expected that...
Foster brother.
My old disease would recrudesce.
Ling Xiang is good at powerful Kung Fu.
She can protect you on behalf of me.
If something happens,
you can also discuss with her.
Ling Xiang is willing to help you.
Foster sister,
I've drawn a picture of the treasure.
You have to keep it properly.
If something dangerous happens,
just burn it down.
Don't worry, foster brother.
Foster sister,
the path of searching for the treasure
remains ambiguous.
What you've done for the fulfillment of my wish
does impress me a lot.
Foster brother.
Foster brother, sit down and have a good rest.
Wait for my good news.
I'll do my utmost.
It'll be dangerous
on the way of searching for the treasure. Be careful.
Foster brother,
I'm leaving first.
Your Highness.
Your Highness is suffering from the pain of backfire.
Why do you try hard to transfer the appearance of Ling Xiang
to what Min Su looks like?
It will aggravate the pain.
The...
benefit of making Ji Heng work for me
will overwhelm the pain of backfire.
Transferring her appearance to what Min Su looks like
can ensure that Ji Heng who knows nothing about the truth
follows my advice.
Your Highness is so wise.
Your Majesty,
I come to report the progress of finding Jiu.
How's it going?
I've investigated the whole battalion thoroughly,
and I find three soldiers named Jiu.
But after investigation,
none of them is the one who saved Your Majesty the other day.
Besides,
none of those who were dead or injured
is named Jiu.
He isn't the soldier in our troops, is he?
Is he anyone who strayed into the battlefield?
Shall we expand the search
to find him all over the country?
Absolutely.
He is the one who has saved my life.
I have to find him out.
Ask painters to draw portraits according to this one,
and post them all over the country.
Make sure to find the person.
Yes.
