Episode 42
That child...
is the child of the Emperor of Qing?
Yes. He's of the same age as you.
I was locked up for too long. I didn't know about the situation of the royal family.
Which Prince is he now?
Is he any good?
Jingdu is not a good place. The late Emperor died in Jingdu.
Your mother died in Jingdu.
Remain in Danzhou and you will live longer.
My mother died in Jingdu. Is her killer still around?
I don't know.
There's a decree from the palace ordering you to go there.
- I see. - This is the truth that Chen Pingping and Fan Jian hid.
This is the reason they didn't want me to go to Jingdu for all these years.
I'm not the son of Fan Jian.
I'm the son of the Emperor of Qing. I'm a prince.
His bloodline flows in my body.
I'm rather tired. I'm going to rest.
The three of you can eat.
If you don't want to, don't kneel.
It's different here from the palace. In the palace, you are a subject. In here...
What's the difference?
You must come back alive.
In a short while, after all this, you suddenly know your identity.
It's definitely very hard to accept. It's okay.
As long as you know you are a Xiao.
I feel better now that I have poured out my secrets.
From now on, the responsibility is on you.
You shall talk less.
What's the difference? I am dying anyway.
It's so dark in here.
I have lived in the dark for too long.
The view is perfect here.
Don't tell Kuhe what I told you.
I know. Otherwise, I will be the one he is after.
What's your plan?
Staying in Qi or going back to Qing?
Going back.
Right, you have everything there.
Chen Pingping doesn't know what you knew.
You will have a great future.
Before you go, give Zhuang Mohan a visit,
tell him I am head.
Will do.
Anything else I can do?
I want to sit here after I die.
Don't burry me.
I don't want to be in underground anymore.
Sure.
Don't revenge. Don't mess with Chen Pingping.
Keep everything inside and live your life.
I know.
Can I see them after I die?
Who? Ye Qingmei? Your son?
You will.
Thank you, for telling me who I am.
I am sorry that I am not your grandson.
Sit tight, you won't be bothered anymore.
It was for the temple?
The temple is Xiaoen's secrete.
Wuzhu lost his memory. Kuhe won't tell.
Xiaoen is the only way for us
to find the temple.
He wouldn't tell for years. Will he tell Fan Xian this time?
He will as long as he believes that Fan Xian is his grandson.
That's why you told me to keep Fan Xian from Jingdu for years?
On one hand, it was for Fan Xian's safety.
On the other hand, I was waiting for the right time
for Xiaoen to leave the Inspection and Control Bureau and talk to Fan Xian.
It must be seamless.
Right.
The war was the best timing.
No matter which side wins,
Shang Shanhu and Zhuang Mohan will ask to exchange Xiaoen anyway.
That's why Fan Xian came to Jingdu.
That's why you were gone out of Jingdu at that time.
I thought I picked the time
to bring him here.
It was you who picked the time.
It was his Majesty.
He also planned the assassin?
Li Yunrui planned it. I just helped a little.
What if she actually killed him?
Think about this. The assassin was department 6th's job.
Why it was Teng Zijing from department 4th who did it?
One month before the assassin,
I had pulled out all the staff near Danzhou,
except for Teng Zijing.
He was the only one who can do this job.
You picked him too?
Everyone in the department 6th will finish this job.
They won't explain anything
no matter what Fan Xian says.
The only one who is chivalrous
are chivalrous
and dare to obey the order.
Teng Zijing was one of them.
His Majesty picked Teng Zijing.
I thought you have forgotten me.
What are you reading?
Qi's storybooks.
I thought I might as well get to know here since I am staying in here.
You are different.
What do you want?
I have something for you to do.
But before that, I have a question to ask you.
Do you remember Teng Zijing?
The guard who was killed at Niulan Street?
He had quarrel with you.
A guy poured filthy water on you. Your servant punished that guy.
I remember that.
And then you listed him as wanted in the name of homicide.
My butler did it. I didn't know much of it.
So you didn't know about that.
Of course not. Why would I spent time on a random surveillant?
You killed his whole family.
What?
You didn't make this happen?
Of course not. I got over about this the next day.
Alright. Later on, Teng Zijing was saved by the Inspection and Control Bureau.
And transferred away from Jingdu. Did you send people to harass his kid and wife?
What do you mean?
I am the son of the Minister of Rituals!
I am the official in the council!
I had a great future.
Why would I do that?
Why would I sabotage my own reputation?
-It wasn't you. -Of course not!
It wasn't a big deal.
Why would I kill his family?
You think our family is this uneducated?
That's why I was taken to Jingdu at that time.
What?
It was all planned.
So that I could get to meet Xiaoen.
Xiaoen?
Wasn't he hand over to Qi?
I believe you. I believe Teng Zijing.
So...
this is all the Inspection and Control Bureau's game.
What are you talking about?
What's the relation between Xiaoen and Teng Zijing?
If Li Yunrui didn't plan the assassin,
the Inspection and Control Bureau would have came up with something
to make Fan Xian get into trouble in Danzhou.
Everyone is in your game.
Everyone is your pawn.
It's not my game. It's his Majesty's game.
Even if it's for the temple,
it's worthy to put Fan Xian's life at risk?
You knew
how many secrets Miss had.
All those secrets and wild thoughts
all came from the temple.
The temple has the resource that is beyond this era.
Once we have the temple,
our country can rule the world.
Every risk is worthy for Qin.
Right. All for Qin.
My son can be a pawn
for Qin.
I have got nothing to say.
Old bastard.
However, I understand his affection for Fan Xian.
I woke up from a nightmare this morning.
I don't remember the dream.
I just woke up.
Your Majesty.
He said Fan Xian is a pawn.
But Fan Xian is more of my son.
Right.
You did everything for Qin. It's all worthy.
Fan Jian doesn't see it this way.
He took Fan Xian as his own son.
He has complained. But he will come around.
Don't you also take Fan Xian as your own son?
I do.
But you didn't hesitate at all,
when I told you to retrieve your knights and put Fan Xian in great danger.
I know who I am.
Who are you?
Chen Pingping.
An old dog of yours.
Thanks to you,
I can still run the Inspection and Control Bureau with my pieces.
I do take him as my son.
But the only one I am loyal to is you.
On your command,
I will even devote my own life.
I heard you loud and clear.
You are the most loyal person in the whole country.
I understand.
It's late, I shall head back.
Your Majesty.
Gongdian.
Follow Chen Pingping.
Find out who he meets and what he says.
Surveillance on Chie Chen?
You are the one I trust the most in this country.
I will not fail you.
Let's get back.
Fan Jian, it's not a good thing to have so many questions.
One thing you should know.
His name is still Fan. I am still his father.
What do you want to know?
Lord, thank god you are back.
How was it?
Any update on Yan Bingyun?
Nothing. He has been staying in his room quietly.
Still working on the ledger?
Shen Zhong is dead?
No. I lied.
The target is not Shen Zhong, is actually Shang Shanhu.
Why did you lie to me?
I wondered what are you gonnado when you know Shen Zhong is involved.
You think I am teaming up with Qi?
Like how you suspected me,
I suspect if you were turned.
-Good. -You are not upset?
Your games match up to your title.
I am glad that you would suspect things.
Our next step
is to find out the secret about the ledger from Shen Zhong.
And find out who received all the smuggled goods.
I can help you on this. But I need you to help on something.
What?
I haven't decided yet. Let's start small.
-What? -You know Chen Pingping well, don't you?
On one truly knows Chief Chen well.
How true could
Chen Pingping's lies be?
Don't you have something to ask?
It's for Qin to get the temple.
Qin and Fan Xian, which one is more impoartant
to your Majesty and you?
You can compare these.
If you must.
Would you choose Qin or Fan Xian?
Why do you bother? Fan Jian, you should have known that
it's my biggest goal to have the resources from the temple
and make Qin the greatest country.
So, you choose Qin.
Why can we choose both?
I am afraid we will face that decision one day.
I can tell you now. I choose Fan Xian. I choose my son.
One last thing. You have been avoiding one thing in your story.
Does Xiaoen's grandson truly exist?
-He exist.- You didn't kill him?
I didn't.
I didn't die to Xiaoen on this matter.
I did make his grandson a man of Qin.
A warrior who resents Qi so bad.
Is he in the Inspection and Control Bureau?
Well done. Chen Pingping.
What's your point?
How many people in the Inspection and Control Bureau is at the sam age as me?
Why do you want to know?
Relax. It's not gonna effect Qin.
There's a lot.
I am at the same age as you too.
The Inspection and Control Bureau raises agents since they were young.
So I don't know the exact number.
What did you say? We are the same age?
Yes. What's wrong with that?
Have you seen your mom?
What kind of question is that?
I am curious.
My mom died when giving birth to me. I never saw her.
Do you get along with your father?
My father is tough. He had others raised me since I was little.
He rarely saw me. But he did this for my sake.
What's wrong?
So he planned all these.
Teng Zijing was your man.
You will be the one to take responsibility if he assassin me.
Why are you bring this up again?
So you were destined to be sent over here.
Why is that?
Teng Zijing took the fake command. Who could see that coming?
So he knew in the beginning that they will exchange Xiaoen and you.
Even Xiaoen got to live in Qi,
you will be back to Qin anyway.
No one can escape from his game.
Fan Xian, what are you talking about?
Xiaoen said Chen Pingping is the master of mind.
He was true. Chen Pingping had everything in control.
It was the Chief who told me to stay by your side.
It was you who informed the Black Knights?
Who are you?
Why would Chen Pingping command his Black Knights for you?
You might not believe it. This is the first time I hear this name.
Chen Pingping of the Inspection and Control Bureau, is the well-known dark evil.
What a chief.
Your games are so impressive.
Stay away from the Inspection and Control Bureau.
Don't trust Chen Pingping.
Who is he like?
He is famous for being unpredictable and cruel.
I find it safer inside the cage.
Get yourself more allies. Don't count on Chen Pingping solely.
He can plot.
I will help you in the dark.
You will be No.1 Minister in Qin.
No one can threaten your safety
by then.
Human nature?
You don't wear enough. You will get cold. You have her eyes.
Who?
Ye Qinmei, your mom.
I will give this bureau back to you one day.
My goal never changes over time.
Let me know if anything upsets you.
Let me know if anyone messes with you.
I will take care of it all for you.
I will clean it up on Lin Gong.
I think you are pretty nice.
Nice? Me?
Emotion?
These are all this pawns.
Fan Xian, how dare you to talk about the Chief like this?
Chen Pingping.
The first time in my life I have ever feel terrified of someone.
Your Majesty, you weren't in the palace recently.
Everybody
was lost.
Your Majesty, General Gong is here.
Let him in.
-Your Majesty. -You can leave.
How was it?
Your Majesty,
Chief Chen ran into Minister Fan when he was leaving.
What did he say?
He told Minister Fan that
he will make Qin the greatest dynasty.
The greatest dynasty?
Inspection and Control Bureau
You seem tired.
I was chatting with people.
Chatting?
Alright, I am fine. You can go.
Stop.
Your Majesty.
Did he really say that?
I remember every word of it.
I wouldn't dare to lie.
Chef Chen is the only and the most loyal person to your Majesty.
The only?
Turn around. My armor is done.
Anything else you want to tell me?
Long live the Qin!
Open your eyes.
Why didn't you dodge?
You didn't tell me to.
It takes not only me but also you guys
to make sure Qin lives long.
Get up.
Thank you, your Majesty.
He is here.
That's it for today. Don't wait up.
Stop yelling.
I will answer to your challenge tomorrow.
Come early.
Let's go.
Go, go, go.
Come back tomorrow.
Fan Xian returned alone. Xiaoen was nowhere to be found.
Xiaoen is dead.
Are you sure?
He was not savable.
Anything weird about this fight?
Nothing.
I was being skeptical then.
What did you mean by that?
Nothing.
What did you mean by Chief Chen's game?
-Where is Xiaoen? -Dead.
Did he tell you the secret before he died?
Ye Qingmei married the King of Qin?
Not officially. But they were married.
She gave birth a child for him.
Do you think it's better to be
a Minister of a Prince?
What kind of question is this?
The princes are fighting each other.
I will be dead at the end no matter who wins.
We don't get to discuss the royal families.
Seems like it's safer to be a Minister.
You don't get to choose that.
Right. You cannot choose your bloodline.
It's all fate.
Did Xiaoen tell you anything?
Here, sit down.
The Head of the First Division, Zhuge,
joined hands with Li Yunrui and betrayed the Inspection and Control Bureau. He's dead now.
I heard about it.
The position for head of the First Division is still empty.
Do you want this position?
Not for me. For you.
I am too green.
Once you find out the truth, that'll be enough.
I will help you with all my resources once we get back.
You are buying me off.
I told you I want you to help me.
You want to build your gang in the bureau?
But the greater good.
The Bureau's main power has always been
with Chen Pingping alone. That's not a good thing.
Mr.Yan, I thought you would do anything for Qin.
It's the right thing to work with me.
Are you insane?
I have never been this clear.
Do you think I would say yes?
One thing is missing though.
About your ambitions, after we return to the capital,
I will notify the Bureau Head about it.
My Lord. There's a woman outside who wants to see Young Master Yan.
I told her Young Master Yan is injured and can't see anyone,
but she was very stubborn.
She wouldn't leave even after I spent a long time trying to convince her!
She's still waiting outside now.
Did she give a name?
She only said she's old acquaintances with Young Master Yan.
She wouldn't tell me where she's from.
You've worked hard, Old Gao. Go rest.
Yes.
Looking at your expression, you don't intend to see her?
Please stay there, Miss.
Are you doing well?
Your injuries are not light. I could go inside to see you.
You didn't need to come outside!
That's right! These are all medicine to replenish your blood and treat your injuries!
There's cold medication too.
The instructions are clearly written outside.
Take this.
Take it!
I have never had affections for you.
I...I know.
You told me that before.
You met me before,
because you wanted to borrow my identity to get military news.
Then why did you come?
I was still worried about your injuries.
You and I are still acquaintances.
I can accept your good intentions.
But you must agree to my one requirement.
Go ahead!
Bring my your brother's head!
If you can betray your family,
I guarantee we can be like before,
and open my heart to you.
If you want to be close to me, that isn't impossible.
If you can't bring yourself to use a knife,
I have poison. Put it in yor brother's tea,
and have him drink it!
If you really don't like her,
you should have used sweet words when you were caught,
and begged her to let you go.
Just what do you want to say?
I think you have her in your heart.
Members of the Bureau do not have hearts.
My Lord!
You saw everything?
Yes.
Do you think Yan Bingyun is really heartless?
I sure hope he is!
Why?
Think about it.
We are in Northern Qi's capital right now.
If we get connected to Miss Shen,
then Shen Zhong really won't let us go!
We can't keep Miss Shen's visit a secret.
If Shen Zhong wants to come, let him. I'll be waiting.
Shan Shanghu already treats you as an enemy.
Why go and anger Shen Zhong?
It's not like me to attract strong enemies?
In the past,
while your acts were surprising,
you never looked for trouble on purpose.
I came across so many things since I came to the capital from Danzhou.
Those things came to me. I only solved them.
Why do I rarely take the initiative to act?
Why?
Because I only want to live well.
Besides that, I have no other requests.
I want to live easier.
There isn't anything I particularly want.
And I don't know what my life goal is.
Man who wants nothing is the strongest.
But things are different now.
You...found your life's goal?
Do you know of Ye Qingmei?
Yes.
How did she die?
I don't know the reason.
I always thought it was her business was too good,
and she offended the powerful because she held onto the world's riches.
That's why she was killed.
What's wrong with that thinking?
You said she...married into the Southern Qin royal family?
Yes.
Who did she marry?
The prince at that time...and the current emperor.
Now I understand.
With her identity, she couldn't have died silently.
Someone hid the truth of the past.
This matter is confidential.
Then it's not something that we should know.
You're right.
So now I have a life's goal.
I have something I need to do.
I want to become the master of the Inspection and Control Bureau,
and become the top official in Southern Qin.
