[Episode 33]
You caused my mother to became like this, didn't you?
If it was your mother, what would you do?
What gives you the right to do this to my mother?!
No, Jiao'er. Don't!
Jiao'er.
You made a big mistake, Jiao'er.
How dare you kill the witness!
- Father, someone pushed me just now. - Shut up!
How dare you still argue when there are so many people watching.
Just like your mother, you're talking nonsense!
Guards, take him away!
Jiao'er!
Scram! All of you, get lost!
Your Majesty, please spare Her Majesty.
Maybe, she really was framed.
Are you saying I'm wrong?
No, how can Your Majesty be wrong?
Yes, how can I be wrong? I'm the emperor.
How can the emperor be wrong!
You trust the rumors.
You can't differentiate between right and wrong.
Aren't you scared of the punishment from Heaven?!
I'm enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven! How can they punish me?
You are acting perversely.
How could the lords tolerate your behavior?
How could our ancestors tolerate your behavior?
Even if I die today,
I can't watch you ruin our country!
How dare you yell at me!
Okay. You want to die, right?
I won't satisfy you.
Carve her eyes out and nail them on the city wall!
Let her see if my country will go down in history or fall to ruins.
Your Majesty, please don't do that.
What Her Majesty said is right.
Don't you fear the Grand Duke of the East will hear the news
and rebel in anger?
You! Carve her eyes out!
Your Majesty.
You are so cruel.
[Red Jade Palace]
Elder Brother!
Elder Brother! Elder Brother.
You found us.
What did you do to him?
What can I do to him?
I'm helping him! I'm helping him awaken his powers to help him get revenge.
The only one who can help him is Master!
Listen to me! Hurry and come with me. Master is waiting for us.
Yang Jian has already forgotten all about you.
Elder Brother, don't you know me?
I'm Xiao E.
Elder Brother.
Elder Brother,
- I'm Xiao E. - Xiao E.
Yang Jian, think about it carefully. Do you still want to take revenge?
Think about who killed your family?
Who took away the girl you love the most?
Elder Brother. Elder Brother, let's go!
Elder Brother.
That's right, Yang Jian.
Let the Dark Eye of Heaven reach its full potential.
Elder Brother!
Yang Jian!
Jiang Ziya?
- Master. - Yang Jian,
it's your master. This is your master.
Come! Let's get back! Let's get back!
Elder Brother, have you heard what master said?
Master is truly trying to help you.
Jiang Ziya, I advise you not to waste your energy.
Wake up! It's me, your master.
Wake up and follow me!
It's a lie! You are not my master.
You are not for my good.
You are here to kill me.
You are right, Yang Jian! He always wanted to kill you.
I'm the only one who's helping you to take your revenge.
Kill all the foes and awaken your Dark Eye of Heaven.
Yang Jian, don't!
I never wanted to kill you. Calm down!
Don't awaken the evil Dark Eye of Heaven.
Otherwise, you'll turn into a demon and destroy the three realms of existence.
Even your loved ones.
Don't take his words! He's a liar.
Take your revenge and awaken the Dark Eye of Heaven.
Shen Gongbao is the real liar.
I believe in you. Please trust me.
You were led to the evil world.
Come! Give me your hand.
I'll pull you out.
Come on, good boy!
Yang Jian, you should think it over carefully. You still need to avenge.
Where's the girl you love? Where?
Calm down and control yourself.
Don't get bewitched!
I don't care. I want revenge.
Revenge!
Don't try to stop me! I'll kill you first.
Brother, wake up!
Yang Jian, you are right! Kill whoever's in your way.
Think of your love in your enemy's arms.
They are embracing and kissing.
Awaken your Dark Eye of Heaven. Awaken it!
- Brother, once your master, always your father. - Shut up!
Our relationship ends today.
Big Brother, don't you fear our master's reproaches and punishment?
Don't you fear the annihilation of the three realms?
So what if it's the three realms' annihilation?
Do you think I care?
Jiang Ziya, I want you to witness your apprentice
awaken the Dark Eye of Heaven and ruin the three realms,
while there's nothing you can do!
Let the natural laws and immortal perish.
I won't allow the Dark Eye of Heaven awaken
and ruin the three realms.
If you don't kill him, I'll do it.
Master! Master, don't!
Don't kill him, Master!
No, I won't kill him.
Master, what do we do?
I have to use my three spirits and seven souls
to cleanse the Dark Eye of Heaven of evil and rage.
Three spirits and seven souls. No, Master!
You'll die.
I can't care about that any longer.
Master!
Jiang Ziya, are you killing yourself?
Yang Jian, your Dark Eye of Heaven,
is like day and night.
Its power can be good and evil.
If your heart is filled with murderous intent,
the Dark Eye of Heaven awakens.
It's the most lethal weapon in the three realms.
Its power can ruin Heaven and Earth,
and everything in front of you.
Trees, flowers, grass,
mountains, rivers,
friends, foes.
All will perish like me.
The earth will turn into hell.
Elder Brother!
Jiang Ziya!
Damn you! You ruined my plan.
Do you think I'll let you go now that you've lost your spirits and souls?
I'll destroy your body!
Jian,
remember my words!
My apprentice, only when you truly understand
good and evil,
fate will awaken your Eye of Heaven.
It can be white
or purple,
or gold, or clear.
But never dark.
Such an Eye of Heaven can't even kill an ant.
However,
it'll shine where the sun fails to reach,
bringing hope to the hopeless,
allowing sinners to repent,
keeping the kind in peace.
Master, Ziya's spirits and souls are disappearing.
The essence of the mortal is the soul,
the essence of the immortal is the spirit.
When mortals die,
their spirits raise to Heaven, souls return to Earth.
Dead is dead!
They can reincarnate but can't return to life.
But Ziya has been practicing for over 40 years.
He's reached the gate of the immortals.
Pollution from the mortals
has mostly left him.
Although his body died,
his spirits and souls stay.
I could have easily resurrected him,
now it seems impossible.
Master, you have mighty powers. How hard is it to gather his spirits and souls?
He violated our forbidden rule.
He developed moral desires.
He acquired emotions
and karma.
At this time,
it's beyond my power.
Bastard! Still not repenting yet?
[Virtue Palace]
Your Majesty.
Don't cry!
There's nothing to cry for.
How could this happen?
It's so unfair to you.
Still no news of my son?
Your Majesty, don't worry! I've sent people to Qianming Palace.
But there's no news on His Highness yet.
You asked why I kept putting off getting married.
Because I don't want an unhappy marriage like yours.
I don't want to marry someone I don't love.
I'd rather be alone
rather than living like a puppet.
I'll excuse myself.
I've made an unforgivable mistake.
Imperial Mother,
I know you've been swallowing your pride for me.
Still,
I refused you ruthlessly.
I know...
it's like stabbing you in the heart.
Imperial Mother.
Imperial Mother!
Can you forgive me?
Daughter, look at the sky.
In the southeast,
when three stars form a line,
I'll be back.
Master!
Silly girl! Take care of the house, I'll look for your dad.
Mother, no rush! You are overreacting.
Father meant stars at night.
Mother,
prepare some food. I'll go and look for Father.
Right! Bring him home and tell him there's wine.
- Hurry! - I know Mother cares for him.
Damn old man!
If you are not home today, not to mention wine,
you won't even get any water.
Elder Brother! Elder Brother, you are awake?
Elder Brother.
How is Master?
Where is Master?
Brother.
- Elder Brother. - Xiao E!
Master, he...
No, not him! Not him!
Master.
- Elder Brother. - Master!
Elder Brother.
Elder Brother,
Don't do this!
Master stopped the Dark Eye of Heaven using his own spirits and souls.
He died here.
All of his spirits and souls are gone.
He can't be beyond dead.
Come and take a look!
Duster!
Take a look!
Duster!
Father!
So it is true.
I killed Master.
- No. - I killed him.
It's not because of you.
Brother.
Open the door! Quickly open the door!
Let me out!
Open the door or I'll have you skinned alive!
Open the door! Right now!
Didn't you hear me?!
Let me out!
I'll have you skinned alive!
Let me out! Release me!
That's my son. Draconian!
Let him out.
Leave him be.
See if he'll kill his guards to vent.
Yes. On my way.
Wait, wait, wait for a moment!
Tell Consort Yang that I grant her request.
If she wants to take care of the empress,
she can never return to her own palace.
Take away her title
and demote her.
Without my permission,
no one enters the empress's palace,
including the crown prince.
Yes.
You Majesty,
- is it too... - Too harsh?
She cursed my land.
She's not qualified to be the empress.
I will dethrone her right away.
Dethrone?
You Majesty,
I feel uneasy.
The empress refuses to confess.
The crown prince killed the assassin.
Without a witness,
we can't accuse the empress of assassination.
Uncle will surely argue with you.
She can't vindicate herself by refusing to confess.
Even if she's not the instigator,
she cursed me.
I've shown enough mercy to spare her life.
Not everyone agrees.
- What do you mean? - Your Majesty,
did you forget about the Grand Duke of the East?
I fear no ghost or immortal.
How could I fear him?
Forgive my disrespect.
It's okay. I know you truly care for me.
- I don't blame you. - It was just an idea.
I fail to figure it out when thinking deeper.
I dare not speak more madness.
I make final decisions.
Dear, speak your mind freely.
We can figure it out together.
Since Your Majesty trusts me,
I'll be frank.
I think the Grand Duke of the East did nothing
while the rebel army wreaked havoc.
He didn't actively dispatch his troops.
It seems that perhaps he was
testing your power.
How malicious!
Please ease your anger, Your Majesty.
You are the Emperor of Shang, Heaven of the country.
However honorable, he is nothing compared with you.
So...
If he's asked to serve Your Majesty,
he shouldn't refuse.
You've got an idea?
Damn the old man!
The dishes are getting cold now and he still hasn't returned.
Mother.
You...
Mother!
Move out of the way.
Is Virtue Palace guarded?
Under the order of His Majesty,
all maids were kicked out and no one is allowed to enter or leave.
Is my mother alone there?
Consort Yang just went in, with permission from His Majesty.
What about an imperial doctor? Did my father send any?
No. No.
She is my mother, the Empress of Shang.
How could my father be so merciless
and heartless?
Your Highness! You can't enter!
Your Highness! You can't!
- Please stop! - Move!
Your Highness, no one enters without His Majesty's order.
- I told you to move! - No.
Do you think I can't kill you?
Yes, you can.
You don't care about your life.
What about mine?
You are insubordinate.
You made me kill myself. It's high treason and your family will be annihilated!
Think carefully!
Move!
Your Highness, you can't enter.
Get out of my way. I need to see my mother.
Jiao'er.
Go back!
Mother, let me see you.
His Majesty has ordered that
no one enters Virtue Palace.
You are the crown prince.
You should follow His Majesty's orders.
Mother!
I worry about you, please let me in.
I'm okay.
Your father takes good care of me.
You've got nothing to worry about.
Leave and don't embarrass me.
Go back!
Your Highness, Her Majesty has survived worse.
This time is no exception.
Be at ease!
Jiao'er...
already left?
Yes.
His Highness...
has left.
I feel too ashamed
to face him.
I have a favor to ask.
If he ever gets in trouble because of me,
please tell him
to seek Prime Minister's help.
He is truly loyal to the country
and kind to our family.
What if the Prime Minister can't help?
Then...
we'd have to wait for Grand Tutor Wen.
He is the only one in the world
who can control His Majesty.
Why not the Grand Duke of the East?
- Why not send a message to him. - No way!
It'll only further enrage His Majesty.
And...
it'll make things worse.
and leave the crown prince in dire straits.
If...
If the crown prince wants to send a message to his grandfather,
you must stop him.
Yes,
I got it!
This room...
is so stuffy.
I need to step outside to get some fresh air.
Consort Yang.
Please ask the crown prince
not to hate his father.
His Majesty is his father.
Everything he has,
he gets from His Majesty.
Tell him!
His Majesty is a wise
and a generous ruler.
I think...
the crown prince agrees.
Tell him, from now on,
not to be disobedient.
Follow His Majesty's orders.
Study hard.
Practice hard.
Befriend loyal ministers.
Sympathize with...
his people.
- Mother. - Consort Yang.
I said I want some fresh air.
Open the windows and the door.
Tell the guards...
without my permission...
no one...
enters my palace.
Leave now!
Yes.
Sister.
I had a dream.
Daji was walking in the woods.
Suddenly, she turned into my mother.
My mother's eyes...
were bleeding.
Your Highness.
If I hadn't listened to Jiang Ziya
and hadn't thought my dream was wrong,
I would have told my mother
and prevented everything
to become such a sad state.
It's not your fault. What happened happened.
You should plan for the future.
Yes, the future is more important.
I'll never forgive Daji.
I'll avenge my mother.
Mother.
Your dad, is he really not coming back anymore?
Mother, stay in bed.
I'll see who is at the door.
Why did you kill my father?
- Give him back to me! - It's not his fault.
He was set up.
It's him!
How many times had my father warned him?
Did he ever listen?
It's my fault.
Not you! It's Shen Gongbao.
He set you up and he killed Master.
Don't try to absolve him!
I heard your conversation in the woods.
I didn't miss a word.
You've got the Dark Eye of Heaven.
Open it and kill us all!
Lanying, stop provoking him!
Master died to stop the Dark Eye of Heaven. Don't let him die in vain!
You bastard who bites the hand that feeds you!
- Mistress. - I'll kill you!
- Don't, Mistress. - Give back my husband.
Mistress, hit me hard.
Kill me! I killed Master.
I'm so sorry.
Mistress, my brother is heartbroken.
Don't blame him anymore.
You only care about this bastard.
Did you ever care about your master?
Mistress, I never had a father.
In my mind,
- Master is my real father. - Your real father?
Why didn't you carry him back?
Do you want him to turn into a wandering ghost?
Why did you get two such apprentices?
You died for nothing! So miserable!
Mistress, Master disappeared.
- What? - After he died,
his body dissipated all of a sudden.
Maybe he didn't die.
Bastard! You still don't repent?
Repent for what?
Supreme Master always teaches us to go with the flow
and follow your heart.
I did everything in the mortal world
according to Supreme Master's teaching.
I am neither guilty nor wrong.
If it's not for you to behave godlessly
and awaken the Dark Eye of Heaven,
would Ziya not have lost his spirits and souls?
You are responsible for his death.
He overestimated himself.
He forcefully interfered.
He was asking for it.
One's days have limit.
Isn't it the natural law you taught us?
Sophistry!
You are incorrigible.
Supreme Master, may I ask
what on earth are the natural laws?
Isn't fate a natural law?
Isn't the law of the jungle also natural?
If not,
why do you leave so much injustice in the mortal world?
If not, as the Grandmaster,
when you forcefully interfere with the vicissitude of the mortal world,
are you following the law of the jungle?
Why is your law natural?
Mine is sophistry?
Big Brother, stop being rude to Master.
You heard him calling me a bastard!
In his eyes, we are both only beasts in fur and horns.
We are never humans.
What fair natural laws?
All lies! He's been lying to us all along!
Do you really think so?
