[The Cosmic Origin of Vital Resources]

00:00:08.680 --> 00:00:10.920 align:center
This is my uncle's belongings.

00:00:10.920 --> 00:00:13.520 align:center
It's also a token between Your Majesty and him.

00:00:13.520 --> 00:00:15.160 align:center
He held it...

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.480 align:center
in his hand until he died.

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:24.120 align:center
If there's a truth behind this, Your Majesty, please investigate this!

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.760 align:center
Meisun, I still remember during our school days,

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:47.360 align:center
[Young Emperor, Young Duke of Ding]
the imperial teacher was so strict with me

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:49.320 align:center
while you had all the freedom.

00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:54.840 align:center
There was once when I told you to secretly take me out of the palace.

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.640 align:center
My father was furious and you were imprisoned for several days.

00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.560 align:center
You were always very protective of me back then.

00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.400 align:center
Back then, you were the one who came up with all the ideas, but I was the one who got punished.

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.840 align:center
Time haspassed in the blink of an eye.

00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.040 align:center
Your Majesty, you're the leader of the country now.

00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.200 align:center
It is my duty to serve the country and the emperor.

00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:21.960 align:center
Meisun.

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.880 align:center
I am lucky to have you.

00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:32.920 align:center
Look over there!

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.760 align:center
In the future, after we conquer the lost territory in the north, you and I will go there to watch the sunrise.

00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.640 align:center
Right now, the pirates in the southeast are not yet pacified,

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:40.120 align:center
so how can we care about the north?

00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.160 align:center
Even if I can take care of the north in the future,

00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:44.760 align:center
even if you're not afraid of me overshadowing you with achievements,

00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.400 align:center
I am still afraid that you will accuse me of deceiving the emperor.

00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.680 align:center
Don't try that trick on me.

00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:51.120 align:center
When we were in the Eastern Palace,

00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.280 align:center
the Grand Tutor used this ruler to teach me the way to be an emperor.

00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.040 align:center
Now that the Grand Tutor has passed away,

00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.840 align:center
if I do something foolish in the future,

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.120 align:center
I have to rely on you to beat me.

00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.320 align:center
- Jiang Meisun!
- Yes, Your Majesty.

00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:07.280 align:center
You're exempted from the death sentence.

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.000 align:center
You're allowed to bring a sword when you see me and you do not have to bow to me when you see me.

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:15.000 align:center
There is no distinction between master and servant, so you can't deceive the emperor.

00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.560 align:center
So, Your Majesty, if you make mistakes, I will not be merciful then.

00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.240 align:center
My uncle said his biggest wish in life

00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:28.560 align:center
was to defeat the pirates as soon as possible

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:30.280 align:center
and return to the capital...

00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:33.680 align:center
to have a nice chat with Your Majesty.

00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:37.440 align:center
He has been saying this for 15 years.

00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:39.440 align:center
It has never changed.

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.920 align:center
But, Your Majesty,

00:02:43.760 --> 00:02:46.680 align:center
when did your mind start to change?

00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:51.840 align:center
Or should I say that the emperor

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.360 align:center
doesn't trust anyone?

00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.320 align:center
How dare you! Your Majesty.

00:02:58.400 --> 00:02:59.920 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:03.080 align:center
Investigate this.

00:03:04.920 --> 00:03:10.320 align:center
Find out who punished him. Find out who harmed Meisun.

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.080 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.600 align:center
Don't let anyone go!

00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:18.960 align:center
Your Majesty!

00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:24.080 align:center
Your Majesty!

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.040 align:center
Hurry up! Your Majesty! Tell Lu to come and

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:28.400 align:center
Your Majesty!

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.960 align:center
Arrest this treacherous and unscrupulous man!

00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:33.400 align:center
Yes!

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.080 align:center
Mother! Bring it here.

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:09.520 align:center
How is she?

00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.280 align:center
- You may go.
- Go now. Go.

00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:31.360 align:center
I have to spoken to those in the capital.

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.320 align:center
Fortunately, His Majesty is awake.

00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:40.560 align:center
Otherwise, I'm afraid that our Song family would have gone to hell together.

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:42.440 align:center
The memorials of the court officials...

00:04:42.440 --> 00:04:45.080 align:center
Especially, what did the Grand Secretariat say?

00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:49.320 align:center
I can bear it.

00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:52.400 align:center
All right. Don't be angry.

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:55.960 align:center
Some pled for mercy for the Duke of Ding and Yantang.

00:04:55.960 --> 00:04:59.560 align:center
But some mentioned that although the Duke of Ding is dead,

00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.840 align:center
his army is still around.

00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:05.880 align:center
Yantang has become the heart of the Duke of Ding's army.

00:05:05.880 --> 00:05:09.520 align:center
He even dared to break into the palace to rebuke His Majesty.

00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:13.680 align:center
What if he hates the imperial court and starts a rebellion in the future?

00:05:16.280 --> 00:05:21.600 align:center
They said if they don't get rid of the root, it will cause disaster.

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:27.040 align:center
Fortunately, even though His Majesty is awake,

00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:31.960 align:center
he never mentioned Yantang's conviction.

00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:37.960 align:center
We can only bet on His Majesty's intentions now.

00:05:40.840 --> 00:05:44.240 align:center
Candied fruit. Candied fruit.

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.040 align:center
Here.

00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.960 align:center
Why isn't the new prescription working?

00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:06.280 align:center
Servants! Prepare Madam Song's medicine again!

00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:17.080 align:center
Those in Futing know the news of the Grand General's death now.

00:06:17.080 --> 00:06:20.720 align:center
If something happens to His Grace, the army will be in turmoil.

00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:23.840 align:center
Dou Shishu and his men have impeached His Grace for several days.

00:06:23.840 --> 00:06:28.640 align:center
If anything happens to His Grace, I'm going to bury all the Dous with him!

00:06:30.200 --> 00:06:32.760 align:center
General Yan, we shouldn't stay at the residence.

00:06:32.760 --> 00:06:34.440 align:center
Follow me to the capital.

00:06:34.440 --> 00:06:36.160 align:center
Let's bring our brothers from the Duke of Ding's army.

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:40.040 align:center
Even if we have to break into the prison, we can save His Grace.

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.520 align:center
His Grace has not been convicted.

00:06:42.520 --> 00:06:46.600 align:center
If you do so, this will really be a rebellion.

00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.400 align:center
If you manage to save him,

00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:52.840 align:center
hundreds of lives from the Jiang and Song families will be lost.

00:06:52.840 --> 00:06:57.400 align:center
His Grace was imprisoned because of your words!

00:06:57.400 --> 00:06:59.440 align:center
How dare you stop us!

00:07:01.880 --> 00:07:03.200 align:center
[Charming]

00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:05.800 align:center
He broke into the palace to rebuke the emperor and harmed the emperor's body.

00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.440 align:center
According to the law, this is a death sentence.

00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:10.080 align:center
However, the emperor hasn't convicted him.

00:07:10.080 --> 00:07:13.520 align:center
The Grand Secretariat has been deliberating for days with no results.

00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:15.920 align:center
General Yan, what do you think?

00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.680 align:center
His Majesty knows that the Grand General died unjustly.

00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.120 align:center
He's trying to test the attitude of the court officials

00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.160 align:center
by arguing for His Grace's crime.

00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.640 align:center
This is one of them.

00:07:30.640 --> 00:07:33.000 align:center
As long as the emperor feels guilty,

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.680 align:center
and with the continuous exchange from the officials,

00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.920 align:center
Grand Secretary Wu and Wang Xingyi will deal with it.

00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:40.240 align:center
What about the second reason?

00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:42.640 align:center
No matter how much the emperor thinks of the Duke of Ding,

00:07:42.640 --> 00:07:44.560 align:center
the duke is dead and can't be resurrected.

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.760 align:center
But Song Mo who is alive is the variable.

00:07:46.760 --> 00:07:48.400 align:center
If you save him from the prison,

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:50.160 align:center
then you're turning the loyal

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.840 align:center
and handsome young general in His Majesty's heart

00:07:52.840 --> 00:07:56.120 align:center
into a rebellious official full of hatred.

00:07:58.440 --> 00:08:00.640 align:center
His Majesty has sent someone from the Directorate of Ceremonies

00:08:00.640 --> 00:08:03.680 align:center
to Futing to investigate the death of the Duke of Ding.

00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:08.200 align:center
Not even the Count of Yunyang knows of this.

00:08:08.200 --> 00:08:10.760 align:center
How did you know about this?

00:08:10.760 --> 00:08:13.560 align:center
You've been here for several days.

00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.000 align:center
You should know that my business isn't just in Futing.

00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:19.800 align:center
There are also regular customers who are senior officials in the capital.

00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:23.000 align:center
There are many ways to get information.

00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.920 align:center
Of course, I hope that you will help us.

00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:29.680 align:center
How about this?

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:31.720 align:center
Let's make a deal.

00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:34.520 align:center
Fourth Young Lady, come with us to the capital to rescue him.

00:08:34.520 --> 00:08:37.000 align:center
If His Grace is released safely,

00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:40.520 align:center
we will return Chen Qushui to you.

00:08:40.520 --> 00:08:45.680 align:center
Otherwise, Mr. Chen will leave this world with me.

00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:47.040 align:center
I won't be alone then.

00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:49.160 align:center
No! This matter is too dangerous.

00:08:49.160 --> 00:08:51.120 align:center
Yes, it is dangerous.

00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.520 align:center
Fourth Young Lady values friendship and justice.

00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:57.480 align:center
She won't let Chen Qushui die with us.

00:08:58.920 --> 00:09:01.040 align:center
We're allies.

00:09:01.520 --> 00:09:05.120 align:center
It is my duty to save His Grace's life.

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:09.520 align:center
But, General Yan, you actually threatened me.

00:09:09.520 --> 00:09:11.920 align:center
That's a different story, then.

00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:18.280 align:center
I am a brute warrior.

00:09:18.280 --> 00:09:20.280 align:center
My words and deeds are harsh.

00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:23.400 align:center
Fourth Young Lady, since we're allies,

00:09:23.400 --> 00:09:25.400 align:center
please save His Grace.

00:09:26.280 --> 00:09:30.400 align:center
Fourth Young Lady, please save His Grace!

00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:37.280 align:center
Mr. Yan, your request is granted.

00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:42.840 align:center
[Zhaowen Bookstore]

00:09:44.680 --> 00:09:46.680 align:center
Young Lady, he threatened you with Mr. Chen.

00:09:46.680 --> 00:09:49.120 align:center
He's not being a gentleman. Besides, this is so risky.

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:51.920 align:center
Well, I don't want His Grace to die either.

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.520 align:center
[Store owner of Zhaowen Bookstore]
- Young Lady.
- Mr. Zhao,

00:09:54.520 --> 00:09:55.680 align:center
I came without giving you notice.

00:09:55.680 --> 00:09:57.120 align:center
Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.

00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:58.400 align:center
It's just that there is some news that we need to wait for.

00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:01.000 align:center
- We'll get it in a day or two.
- It's just a few pen and ink shops.

00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.240 align:center
It's as if they have all the ears and eyes in the sky.

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.680 align:center
General Yan, this is about His Grace's life.

00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.400 align:center
General Yan, please.

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:48.560 align:center
These will be delivered to the Directorate of Ceremonies.

00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:51.360 align:center
The profit is small, but the quantity is a lot.

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.680 align:center
The most profitable one is the waste paper. Your idea was great.

00:10:56.680 --> 00:10:58.600 align:center
We went to the residences in the capital to collect waste paper.

00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:02.040 align:center
After pulping and pounding it, we turned it into toilet paper and sell it in different prefectures.

00:11:02.040 --> 00:11:04.640 align:center
For those with better quality, we'll add lime and essential oil

00:11:04.640 --> 00:11:06.760 align:center
and send it to the Treasury Banknotes Bureau in the palace.

00:11:06.760 --> 00:11:10.520 align:center
In this way, the news from the palace, harem, the ministries and bureaus,

00:11:10.520 --> 00:11:12.160 align:center
be it huge or small stores,

00:11:12.160 --> 00:11:15.800 align:center
the news is connected to a network.

00:11:18.680 --> 00:11:21.920 align:center
This is the paper used for papermaking in most of the capital...

00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:24.680 align:center
was produced by you.

00:11:24.680 --> 00:11:27.320 align:center
These are not the key points of this matter.

00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.560 align:center
General Yan, please come with me.

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:37.520 align:center
Ivy paper?

00:11:37.520 --> 00:11:40.040 align:center
It's just ordinary paper.

00:11:42.640 --> 00:11:47.920 align:center
Today, only the emperor and the Grand Secretariat use ivy paper.

00:11:47.920 --> 00:11:50.480 align:center
It's to write the scriptures for praying sessions.

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:55.120 align:center
Your business actually includes the imperial court.

00:11:55.680 --> 00:11:57.280 align:center
Well, I'm doing a business.

00:11:57.280 --> 00:11:59.960 align:center
The most important thingis to treat each other with sincerity.

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:03.640 align:center
Only when we know our ability can we talk about trust.

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:13.600 align:center
Several imperial physicians who treated His Majesty all went home last night.

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.560 align:center
His Majesty is fine.

00:12:16.400 --> 00:12:19.400 align:center
The officials and the Grand Secretariat have been having discussions for days.

00:12:19.400 --> 00:12:22.480 align:center
But His Majesty has not yet issued an order to convict.

00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:27.520 align:center
If we can get a glimpse of His Majesty's whereabouts at this moment, then it would be easy.

00:12:27.520 --> 00:12:32.040 align:center
Then we have to wait on tenterhooks, leaving His Grace in prison with his life or death uncertain.

00:12:32.040 --> 00:12:35.400 align:center
You've been following His Grace for more than ten years.

00:12:35.400 --> 00:12:39.120 align:center
He is not one to sit still and wait for death, he is brave and not reckless.

00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:43.400 align:center
Before he broke into the palace, he must have figured out a way to break the impasse.

00:12:43.400 --> 00:12:45.240 align:center
In my opinion,

00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:49.640 align:center
His Majesty who fell ill and is recovering hasn't convicted Song Mo.

00:12:49.640 --> 00:12:51.920 align:center
It shows that His Majesty is reluctant to kill him.

00:12:51.920 --> 00:12:55.200 align:center
There will be news from the palace within three days.

00:12:55.800 --> 00:12:57.960 align:center
So please wait for another three days.

00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.960 align:center
That's the imperial prison.

00:12:59.960 --> 00:13:01.720 align:center
Those who killed the Grand General

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.560 align:center
will definitely find ways to make His Grace die in prison.

00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:08.400 align:center
I've thought of a way and told Su Lan to do it.

00:13:08.400 --> 00:13:10.360 align:center
Just wait patiently.

00:13:17.280 --> 00:13:18.800 align:center
All right.

00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:29.200 align:center
What you did was a capital crime.

00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.480 align:center
From the officials' point of view,

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.000 align:center
uncle and nephew are of the same mind.

00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.880 align:center
It's hard to escape the suspicion of treason.

00:13:37.760 --> 00:13:40.120 align:center
General Song, just write a confession.

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:44.160 align:center
Go soft with His Majesty and admit your mistake.

00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:47.160 align:center
At least, you can beg for mercy.

00:13:48.040 --> 00:13:50.000 align:center
Am I right?

00:13:52.680 --> 00:13:58.440 align:center
Humans have 720 acupoints and 78 joints.

00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.480 align:center
He doesn't even know where it hurts the most.

00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:07.200 align:center
Eunuch Wang, do you want me to teach your man?

00:14:09.400 --> 00:14:11.080 align:center
All right.

00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:24.480 align:center
It seems that it is useless for me to talk more.

00:14:25.040 --> 00:14:27.640 align:center
I guess we need something serious.

00:14:29.680 --> 00:14:31.400 align:center
This is not a big deal.

00:14:31.400 --> 00:14:33.480 align:center
Why should I be imprisoned?

00:14:38.680 --> 00:14:42.040 align:center
Eunuch Wang, you're punishing him.

00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:44.000 align:center
Sorry to bother you.

00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.640 align:center
Please continue.

00:14:45.640 --> 00:14:48.760 align:center
I'll just watch. Don't bother about me.

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.600 align:center
Count Yunyang, you're...

00:14:58.640 --> 00:15:00.400 align:center
Look at what this is.

00:15:00.400 --> 00:15:03.160 align:center
The Court of Judicial Review just approved this.

00:15:03.160 --> 00:15:05.400 align:center
They want to imprison me.

00:15:05.400 --> 00:15:07.480 align:center
There's nothing I can do.

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:10.360 align:center
Song Mo rebelled. No doubt he'll be sentenced to death.

00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.040 align:center
Could it be that you want to die with him?

00:15:14.040 --> 00:15:16.400 align:center
Is it not okay if I am happy to do so?

00:15:16.400 --> 00:15:18.280 align:center
You won't let me come to jail?

00:15:18.280 --> 00:15:20.840 align:center
You don't even recognize the law.

00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:23.640 align:center
All right, let's talk about it in front of my aunt.

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.480 align:center
As long as you're happy with it.

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:38.960 align:center
Open the door!

00:15:49.560 --> 00:15:53.160 align:center
How dare those servants try to kill you?

00:15:53.160 --> 00:15:54.920 align:center
Fortunately, I brought medicine with me.

00:15:54.920 --> 00:15:57.800 align:center
Where's the medicine? Bring it in!

00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:00.240 align:center
His Majesty...

00:16:00.920 --> 00:16:02.760 align:center
How is he?

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:09.160 align:center
He was conscious the day before yesterday, but he needs more rest.

00:16:09.160 --> 00:16:11.640 align:center
I wanted to see him,

00:16:11.640 --> 00:16:13.720 align:center
but I was kicked out by my aunt.

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.760 align:center
Even Grand Secretary Wu and the others went, but they didn't get to see him.

00:16:15.760 --> 00:16:19.440 align:center
Even the Crown Prince who went to take care of him was scolded.

00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.520 align:center
How did you get in?

00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:26.480 align:center
It was easy.

00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.080 align:center
I found someone who I didn't like and beat him up.

00:16:38.560 --> 00:16:41.120 align:center
Which scoundrel beat me?

00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:43.240 align:center
Me.

00:16:46.280 --> 00:16:48.280 align:center
You are the one who is in charge and you are confused.

00:16:48.280 --> 00:16:51.040 align:center
You are not as clear-sighted as that lady teacher.

00:16:51.640 --> 00:16:53.840 align:center
A lady teacher?

00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.600 align:center
Are you referring to Fourth Young Lady Dou?

00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.200 align:center
Did she tell you to come?

00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.520 align:center
That's right. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.

00:17:00.520 --> 00:17:02.880 align:center
I wandered around the Qianqing Palace like a headless fly.

00:17:02.880 --> 00:17:04.280 align:center
My aunt avoided me and refused to see me.

00:17:04.280 --> 00:17:06.680 align:center
Aunt Min, Song Mo didn't intend to be disrespectful.

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.040 align:center
He was just being filial.

00:17:08.040 --> 00:17:08.920 align:center
Please spare him, Aunt Min.

00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:10.120 align:center
- Take him away.
- Aunt Min!

00:17:10.120 --> 00:17:12.200 align:center
I promise he won't do it again! Aunt Min!

00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.960 align:center
Fortunately, an eunuch from the Treasury Banknote Bureau passed me a pouch.

00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:18.840 align:center
He said it was given to me by a girl from a bookstore.

00:17:18.840 --> 00:17:21.800 align:center
When I saw it, I knew who came up with this idea.

00:17:21.800 --> 00:17:24.080 align:center
It's your lady teacher.

00:17:25.320 --> 00:17:29.400 align:center
She asked you to go to the Court of Judicial Review to get the document so that you'd be imprisoned?

00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:30.760 align:center
That's right.

00:17:30.760 --> 00:17:34.960 align:center
No one would dare to harm you if I lie here.

00:17:38.320 --> 00:17:39.800 align:center
Look.

00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:42.640 align:center
She is such a top embroiderer.

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:45.600 align:center
How dare she send this pouch out?

00:17:50.120 --> 00:17:53.520 align:center
That's a very nice embroidery.

00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:54.960 align:center
Tell me.

00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:56.640 align:center
What is this?

00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:04.760 align:center
She's mocking me.

00:18:04.760 --> 00:18:07.600 align:center
Most of the officials from the imperial court want you dead.

00:18:07.600 --> 00:18:09.680 align:center
But she told the eunuch from the Treasury Banknote Bureau to deliver this.

00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.760 align:center
She was risking her life.

00:18:12.760 --> 00:18:14.520 align:center
She helped you to this extent.

00:18:14.520 --> 00:18:16.680 align:center
She must be chivalrous.

00:18:19.280 --> 00:18:21.960 align:center
[Zhaowen Bookstore]

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:25.720 align:center
Eunuch.

00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.320 align:center
This...

00:18:27.320 --> 00:18:29.080 align:center
Keep it.

00:18:32.520 --> 00:18:35.400 align:center
This must never happen again.

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:36.880 align:center
His Majesty has only met

00:18:36.880 --> 00:18:40.320 align:center
Grand Secretary Wu and a few officials from the Grand Secretariat in the past two days.

00:18:40.320 --> 00:18:43.320 align:center
At other times, besides immersing himself in writing the scriptures,

00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:46.200 align:center
he looks absent-minded while looking at the ruler.

00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:49.920 align:center
As for the rest, it's hard for me to tell.

00:18:50.800 --> 00:18:52.040 align:center
Thank you so much.

00:18:52.040 --> 00:18:53.560 align:center
You're welcome.

00:18:58.760 --> 00:19:00.320 align:center
Young Lady.

00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:15.280 align:center
The enemy is in the dark, we are in the light. We can't wait any longer.

00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:20.440 align:center
I've got my men in ambush around the Northern Pacification Division.

00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.560 align:center
Fireworks as a signal, start at midnight.

00:19:23.560 --> 00:19:26.560 align:center
General Yan, please wait one more day.

00:19:26.560 --> 00:19:29.440 align:center
We've been waiting for three days. Do we still have to wait?

00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.560 align:center
Could it be that your idea is to delay us?

00:19:34.280 --> 00:19:36.640 align:center
The tide has turned.

00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.200 align:center
The arrow is on the string. We can't wait any longer.

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:40.520 align:center
We must save His Grace.

00:19:40.520 --> 00:19:42.120 align:center
You're sending His Grace to hell.

00:19:42.120 --> 00:19:43.680 align:center
- You fool!
- What did you say?

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:45.000 align:center
I'm saying you're foolish!

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:46.320 align:center
- You...
- Enough.

00:19:46.320 --> 00:19:48.280 align:center
Since you want to save His Grace,

00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:51.240 align:center
I'll show you something then.

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:00.680 align:center
Don't move!

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:02.760 align:center
Dou Zhao! What are you doing?

00:20:02.760 --> 00:20:06.000 align:center
I'm tired. I don't want to speak to you again. Lock them up in the coal house.

00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.520 align:center
- You...
- Dou Zhao!

00:20:07.520 --> 00:20:10.520 align:center
I'm sorry, guys. Move!

00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:13.800 align:center
- Hurry up!
- Go!

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:23.440 align:center
You're in charge of the Ministry of Rites. You should be in the Grand Secretariat.

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:28.120 align:center
But Grand Secretary Wu thinks that you're still inexperienced.

00:20:28.120 --> 00:20:32.200 align:center
After all, the Grand Secretariat is headed by him.

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:35.200 align:center
Be considerate, all right?

00:20:37.000 --> 00:20:39.840 align:center
I have not done any merits, so it's hard to convince people.

00:20:39.840 --> 00:20:44.000 align:center
Grand Secretary Wu is wise. What he said is true.

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:49.600 align:center
Princess Shude said you are a talented person who is good at dealing with people.

00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:51.960 align:center
I will definitely use your service.

00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:57.240 align:center
For example, at this juncture, Song Mo is imprisoned and awaiting conviction.

00:20:57.240 --> 00:21:00.640 align:center
All the ministries, including your disciples,

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.760 align:center
send memorials every day to ask that he be sentenced to death.

00:21:04.760 --> 00:21:06.600 align:center
What do you think?

00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:17.080 align:center
Song Mo is a great general. He has made military exploits.

00:21:17.080 --> 00:21:20.560 align:center
Among the younger generation, no one can match him.

00:21:20.560 --> 00:21:25.400 align:center
If this pillar of the imperial court is killed, it will disappoint the army.

00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.320 align:center
But the Duke of Ding's army has been stationed in Futing for a long time.

00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:31.920 align:center
They're not bound by the imperial court and are used to having it their way.

00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:37.200 align:center
They also left the military camp without an edict and even came to the capital.

00:21:44.560 --> 00:21:49.840 align:center
I'm trying to say that even though Song Mo was being disrespectful,

00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:52.920 align:center
he might have been instigated by his subordinates.

00:21:58.280 --> 00:22:01.840 align:center
To get rid of him is dangerous. Let's punish him lightly for now.

00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:05.280 align:center
You'll handle this.

00:22:06.560 --> 00:22:09.080 align:center
I obey your order.

00:22:11.280 --> 00:22:15.560 align:center
"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims:

00:22:15.560 --> 00:22:20.600 align:center
Heaven descends an auspicious sign, the reign title will be changed to Fengming.

00:22:20.600 --> 00:22:24.400 align:center
A special amnesty is granted to Song Mo, the eldest son of the Duke of Ying,

00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:27.600 align:center
and the Count of Yunyang, Gu Yu.

00:22:27.600 --> 00:22:31.480 align:center
Song Mo is relieved of all military duties.

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:34.560 align:center
I hope you have sincerely reflected on your mistakes.

00:22:34.560 --> 00:22:37.080 align:center
I hereby order!"

00:22:50.760 --> 00:22:53.840 align:center
Eunuch Wang, why is it a special amnesty?

00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:57.560 align:center
Count of Yunyang, you don't know about it yet, right?

00:22:57.560 --> 00:22:59.920 align:center
Today, there was a praying session.

00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:03.160 align:center
His Majesty has changed the reign title to Fengming and granted amnesty to everyone,

00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.720 align:center
hence the special amnesty.

00:23:07.440 --> 00:23:12.920 align:center
What about the grievances of the Duke of Ding and the lives of the Jiang clan?

00:23:13.520 --> 00:23:18.000 align:center
The Jiang clan has been exempted from the death penalty and demoted to common people.

00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:19.720 align:center
Men will be exiled to guard Tieling

00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.120 align:center
while the women and children will be sent back to their territories.

00:23:23.120 --> 00:23:26.040 align:center
His Majesty is being benevolent.

00:23:26.040 --> 00:23:30.080 align:center
Your Grace, go home and recuperate.

00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.000 align:center
You're granted amnesty. I guess your parents will come and pick you up.

00:23:45.560 --> 00:23:47.240 align:center
[Duke of Ying's old butler, Lu Zheng]
Your Grace.

00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:53.040 align:center
It is inconvenient for the Duke of Ying to come. Your Grace, please return home quickly.

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:58.280 align:center
Tell my parents that I'll go back on my own.

00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:00.920 align:center
Yes.

00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:11.120 align:center
I've become a disgrace to the Duke of Ying.

00:24:11.120 --> 00:24:13.360 align:center
I should keep a low profile.

00:24:23.040 --> 00:24:25.360 align:center
This is General Yan's secret code.

00:24:26.520 --> 00:24:29.160 align:center
This secret code almost sent you to the underworld.

00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:33.240 align:center
But consider this as the fireworks for celebration to celebrate your release.

00:24:36.560 --> 00:24:38.200 align:center
Where is she?

00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:41.280 align:center
Your Grace, this way, please.

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.040 align:center
How did you know I would be pardoned and released?

00:25:04.040 --> 00:25:06.240 align:center
News from the Treasury Banknote Bureau.

00:25:07.040 --> 00:25:10.360 align:center
His Majesty wrote the scriptures day and night and burned incense to pay tribute.

00:25:10.360 --> 00:25:13.520 align:center
He also put the half of the ruler on the front of his desk.

00:25:13.520 --> 00:25:16.240 align:center
It can be seen that His Majesty's remorse for the death of the Duke of Ding

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:18.600 align:center
is stronger than suspicion.

00:25:18.600 --> 00:25:20.760 align:center
So he won't kill you.

00:25:21.760 --> 00:25:23.960 align:center
But why today?

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:27.240 align:center
That's because today is the seventh day after my uncle's death.

00:25:29.520 --> 00:25:33.720 align:center
Dou Shishu and his subordinates have been secretly impeaching me every day.

00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:36.760 align:center
But you used this pouch and told Gu Yu to protect me.

00:25:36.760 --> 00:25:38.840 align:center
Why is that?

00:25:38.840 --> 00:25:41.440 align:center
This is my deal with Mr. Yan.

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:46.120 align:center
Since you're safe, I hope you can pay me the money and goods as soon as possible.

00:25:58.040 --> 00:26:01.800 align:center
I've ordered someone to release Mr. Yan and the others.

00:26:01.800 --> 00:26:06.560 align:center
I hope you will keep your promise and return Mr. Chen to me.

00:26:14.080 --> 00:26:15.880 align:center
Just because of this,

00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:19.480 align:center
you went against your uncle?

00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:35.080 align:center
The same fireworks have various colors.

00:26:35.080 --> 00:26:38.720 align:center
He is he, and I am me.

00:26:44.800 --> 00:26:46.360 align:center
Thank you.

00:26:47.800 --> 00:26:49.520 align:center
What did you say?

00:26:49.520 --> 00:26:51.480 align:center
I didn't hear clearly.

00:26:56.840 --> 00:26:58.600 align:center
I said...

00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:01.640 align:center
Thank you.

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:06.120 align:center
The fireworks are too loud. I still can't hear clearly.

00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:08.920 align:center
Please tell me one more time.

00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:11.760 align:center
I heard clearly. He said he likes you.

00:27:11.760 --> 00:27:13.400 align:center
Shut up!

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.120 align:center
He heard it wrong.

00:27:18.120 --> 00:27:21.440 align:center
Yes, I heard it wrong. He said he wanted to marry you!

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:24.920 align:center
Shut up! Don't talk nonsense!

00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:27.240 align:center
I'll go home and wait for your good news.

00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:43.560 align:center
I can't thank you enough for your kindness.

00:27:43.560 --> 00:27:45.840 align:center
I will host a banquet at Guanghe Restaurant the night after.

00:27:45.840 --> 00:27:48.320 align:center
I hope you will do me the honors.

00:27:48.320 --> 00:27:51.960 align:center
I will also return Mr. Chen to you at that time.

00:28:09.760 --> 00:28:12.880 align:center
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!

00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:15.800 align:center
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!

00:28:16.760 --> 00:28:19.880 align:center
You... What's wrong with you?

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:23.800 align:center
Well, we were worried about you.

00:28:23.800 --> 00:28:25.520 align:center
We wanted to break into the prison and save you.

00:28:25.520 --> 00:28:27.520 align:center
But Fourth Young Lady persuaded us not to do that.

00:28:27.520 --> 00:28:30.160 align:center
- Did she persuade us?
- Shut up!

00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:34.760 align:center
My imprisonment this time was a self-torture.

00:28:34.760 --> 00:28:36.760 align:center
I was betting that if His Majesty felt guilty towards the Duke of Ding,

00:28:36.760 --> 00:28:39.880 align:center
he would show leniency to the Jiang family.

00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:45.080 align:center
Even she could see through this, but you couldn't

00:28:46.680 --> 00:28:48.000 align:center
Yes.

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.040 align:center
We were reckless.

00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:54.040 align:center
I'm going back to the camp to get flogged 20 times.

00:28:54.040 --> 00:28:56.360 align:center
- Me too.
- Me too.

00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.760 align:center
You were reckless as you were concerned about me. Forget it.

00:28:59.760 --> 00:29:02.400 align:center
No, I should be punished.

00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.120 align:center
Wash your face before going!

00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:16.240 align:center
It's getting late. Second Young Master, please go inside.

00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:30.240 align:center
Brother, look at the wild deer I got for you.

00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.600 align:center
Deer antler is just right for you.

00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:40.680 align:center
How's Mother's illness?

00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:42.600 align:center
Father is taking care of her.

00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:01.120 align:center
You didn't want to be implicated.

00:30:01.120 --> 00:30:04.720 align:center
But don't forget that I'm also one of the Jiangs.

00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:06.720 align:center
I don't flatter the powerful and bully the weak.

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:09.960 align:center
Yantang could survive to this day, he's already very lucky.

00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:12.520 align:center
Do you know that many people are watching this now?

00:30:12.520 --> 00:30:17.760 align:center
You actually ignored the safety of our Song family for your Jiang family?

00:30:17.760 --> 00:30:19.400 align:center
Brother.

00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:25.760 align:center
Do you want me to sever ties with the Jiangs?

00:30:25.760 --> 00:30:27.280 align:center
Give it to me.

00:30:27.280 --> 00:30:29.280 align:center
I didn't mean that.

00:30:29.280 --> 00:30:31.320 align:center
It's just that the situation is not clear now.

00:30:31.320 --> 00:30:34.680 align:center
We should be careful with our words and actions.

00:30:35.920 --> 00:30:37.560 align:center
Come in!

00:30:43.040 --> 00:30:45.840 align:center
Father. Mother.

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.040 align:center
I was reckless.

00:30:49.040 --> 00:30:50.960 align:center
I made you worry about me.

00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:56.120 align:center
Your must change your insolent and arrogant behavior!

00:30:56.120 --> 00:30:58.080 align:center
You made your mother anxious.

00:30:58.080 --> 00:31:00.960 align:center
She hasn't had an hour of peaceful sleep.

00:31:09.520 --> 00:31:12.080 align:center
- Mother.
- Mo'er.

00:31:12.080 --> 00:31:14.760 align:center
You look haggard.

00:31:14.760 --> 00:31:17.520 align:center
You...

00:31:20.320 --> 00:31:22.080 align:center
This...

00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.320 align:center
Let me take a look.

00:31:28.560 --> 00:31:33.440 align:center
The Shadow Guards are cruel.

00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.520 align:center
It's just a show. Who dares to really hurt me?

00:31:37.520 --> 00:31:40.520 align:center
I shouldn't have made you worry about me.

00:31:40.520 --> 00:31:44.640 align:center
But when I looked at Uncle, that was the only thing I could do.

00:31:50.120 --> 00:31:51.680 align:center
Mother.

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:57.720 align:center
You just came home, so I shouldn't have to tell you this.

00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:03.440 align:center
But I think it's time for you to find someone caring for you.

00:32:08.520 --> 00:32:12.840 align:center
Could it be that you've got someone you like?

00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:20.680 align:center
Great!

00:32:37.280 --> 00:32:39.360 align:center
Mother, here.

00:32:44.760 --> 00:32:46.680 align:center
Tell me what's on your mind.

00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:50.760 align:center
Is that special someone Fourth Young Lady Dou?

00:32:56.040 --> 00:32:57.520 align:center
Young Lady, you treat Mr. Chen well.

00:32:57.520 --> 00:33:00.320 align:center
You took such a huge risk just to get him back.

00:33:00.320 --> 00:33:03.000 align:center
Not just for Mr. Chen.

00:33:04.040 --> 00:33:08.840 align:center
Be it Song Mo or the Duke of Ding, they were treated unfairly.

00:33:08.840 --> 00:33:10.920 align:center
It would be fine if I didn't know,

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:14.680 align:center
but I couldn't bear it after knowing.

00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:16.440 align:center
Mother, what are you thinking?

00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:22.320 align:center
It must be Lu Zheng and Lu Ming who are making up stories and spreading nonsense.

00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:26.880 align:center
What those two said wasn't wrong.

00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:29.520 align:center
Fourth Young Lady Dou was willing to find ways to help you.

00:33:29.520 --> 00:33:32.840 align:center
She must be a good girl who understands justice.

00:33:32.840 --> 00:33:35.520 align:center
It's a pity that she was born in the Dou family.

00:33:35.520 --> 00:33:38.680 align:center
There is no guarantee that she will not be used by her Fifth Uncle.

00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:43.720 align:center
Did you say Uncle Shishu didn't get into the Grand Secretariat and the chief is still Grand Secretary Wu?

00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:46.040 align:center
But based on the Chronicles of the World,

00:33:46.040 --> 00:33:50.040 align:center
in this year, Grand Secretary Wu fell ill and resigned.

00:33:50.040 --> 00:33:54.000 align:center
So Uncle Shishu got into the Grand Secretariat and gradually came to power.

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:56.560 align:center
The emperor changed the reign title to Fengming.

00:33:56.560 --> 00:33:59.520 align:center
This is something that's not in the Chronicles of the World.

00:33:59.520 --> 00:34:04.760 align:center
Could it be that my suggestion really changed the course of the river like splitting mountains and overturning gorges?

00:34:04.760 --> 00:34:09.480 align:center
But wouldn’t the future be even more difficult to predict?

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:12.800 align:center
There's another matter. It's about Young Master Wu.

00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:15.720 align:center
What happened to the Wu family?

00:34:17.560 --> 00:34:23.440 align:center
To cut off contact with the Dou family and stabilize the Wu family,

00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:27.840 align:center
Grand Secretary Wu wants Dezhen to marry the sixth lady of the Liang family.

00:34:28.640 --> 00:34:31.880 align:center
This time, Dezhen has fallen in love.

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:34.120 align:center
He only has Fourth Young Lady Dou in his mind.

00:34:34.120 --> 00:34:35.480 align:center
He won't marry her no matter what.

00:34:35.480 --> 00:34:38.840 align:center
Even if I have no chance to be with Fourth Young Lady Dou in this life,

00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:42.920 align:center
I will only love her. I will not love anyone else.

00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:45.600 align:center
I can't go against my will by marrying someone else.

00:34:48.240 --> 00:34:53.280 align:center
If we don't prune or cut it, the plant will eventually grow crooked.

00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:58.480 align:center
If you don't want to, will the sky not fall?

00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:05.400 align:center
If I don't want to, will Meisun come back to life?

00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:13.760 align:center
Everything else can be discussed, except this.

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:16.800 align:center
You don't have a choice.

00:35:18.240 --> 00:35:20.680 align:center
Dezhen's father died early.

00:35:20.680 --> 00:35:22.640 align:center
He has always been filial to his grandfather.

00:35:22.640 --> 00:35:24.400 align:center
Why would he...

00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:29.160 align:center
Looks like he's really fond of her.

00:35:30.200 --> 00:35:32.440 align:center
The Dou family is greedy for power and profit.

00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:35.120 align:center
Is the marriage about love?

00:35:35.120 --> 00:35:37.080 align:center
Dezhen had a high fever after being caught in the rain.

00:35:37.080 --> 00:35:39.400 align:center
He refused to seek treatment.

00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:41.240 align:center
If something happens to him,

00:35:41.240 --> 00:35:43.480 align:center
Grand Secretary Wu won't be able to bear it.

00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:48.240 align:center
Dou Shishu got what he wanted.

00:35:48.240 --> 00:35:50.800 align:center
Dezhen and Grand Secretary Wu are stubborn.

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:53.480 align:center
I will find a way to be the peacemaker.

00:35:59.640 --> 00:36:02.680 align:center
Mother, take your medicine.

00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.040 align:center
Godfather, I know I made mistakes.

00:36:10.040 --> 00:36:12.760 align:center
Learn from Lord Dou. Understand the will of the sage,

00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:14.120 align:center
and seek benefits and avoid harm.

00:36:14.120 --> 00:36:16.080 align:center
- This is the real skill.
- You're right.

00:36:16.080 --> 00:36:20.640 align:center
Do you think you'll become great after forcing Song Mo to confess?

00:36:20.640 --> 00:36:23.520 align:center
Have you ever thought about what His Majesty is thinking?

00:36:23.520 --> 00:36:25.720 align:center
Or the Grand Secretariat's stand?

00:36:25.720 --> 00:36:29.560 align:center
Whether he is guilty or not, is it something we can decide?

00:36:29.560 --> 00:36:31.800 align:center
I understand.

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:38.040 align:center
The Shadow Guards have started the investigation in Futing.

00:36:38.040 --> 00:36:40.640 align:center
I should go there now.

00:36:40.640 --> 00:36:44.400 align:center
Before we find any clues about the Duke of Ding's case,

00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:46.680 align:center
never act rashly.

00:36:46.680 --> 00:36:48.560 align:center
Yes.

00:37:08.200 --> 00:37:11.040 align:center
Sir, may I know what orders you have brought?

00:37:12.280 --> 00:37:14.440 align:center
To issue the imperial edict.

00:37:21.520 --> 00:37:23.840 align:center
In the past few days, Grand Secretary Wu

00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:27.520 align:center
refuted His Majesty's proposal to grant Lord Dou the title of Grand Secretary of the Grand Secretariat.

00:37:27.520 --> 00:37:30.240 align:center
Then Young Master Wu refused to get married.

00:37:30.240 --> 00:37:35.200 align:center
Everyone in the capital knows that the Wu family and the Dou family have become enemies.

00:37:35.200 --> 00:37:37.920 align:center
The lung abscess happens when the lung is attacked during cold weather.

00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.800 align:center
Dezhen was caught in the rain and refused medical treatment.

00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:44.160 align:center
By the way, has Physician Li returned to the capital?

00:37:44.160 --> 00:37:46.640 align:center
He's on his way. He'll probably arrive tonight.

00:37:46.640 --> 00:37:48.440 align:center
All right.

00:37:50.160 --> 00:37:53.440 align:center
Have you prepared the gifts based on the list I gave you?

00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:57.520 align:center
Yes. But Chen Qushui has been staying in Yizhi Hall for a long time.

00:37:57.520 --> 00:38:01.640 align:center
I'm afraid he knows everything about this residence.

00:38:01.640 --> 00:38:05.560 align:center
I don't think it's appropriate to release him just like that.

00:38:06.240 --> 00:38:08.720 align:center
Well, we're not just allies. She saved my life, too.

00:38:08.720 --> 00:38:12.120 align:center
Since we made the promise, we can't break it.

00:38:13.120 --> 00:38:15.000 align:center
Indeed a promise is important.

00:38:15.000 --> 00:38:19.000 align:center
But I feel that Fourth Young Lady Zhao and Dou Shishu are always on the same page.

00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:22.600 align:center
No sooner had something good happened than trouble came.

00:38:22.600 --> 00:38:27.120 align:center
I am afraid that the alliance of gentlemen cannot protect against villains.

00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:33.840 align:center
Grandpa, stop persuading me.

00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:39.240 align:center
Pine and cypress will grow naturally.

00:38:40.120 --> 00:38:42.920 align:center
But to beautify it,

00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:46.240 align:center
you twist its branches

00:38:46.240 --> 00:38:48.840 align:center
and don't hesitate to change its growing direction.

00:38:49.720 --> 00:38:51.760 align:center
Grandpa,

00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.800 align:center
do you treat me as a plant, too?

00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:59.160 align:center
You wanted to train with others, I allowed it.

00:38:59.160 --> 00:39:04.000 align:center
You love wood crafting, I pretended I didn't know about this.

00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:07.720 align:center
When the family was stable and you were willful,

00:39:07.720 --> 00:39:11.200 align:center
I could still protect you.

00:39:11.200 --> 00:39:15.520 align:center
But things are different now.

00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:18.840 align:center
New officials are rising

00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:21.480 align:center
and I'm surrounded by enemies.

00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:24.640 align:center
If I'm...

00:39:26.520 --> 00:39:29.600 align:center
If I'm no longer around,

00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:33.560 align:center
who will protect you?

00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:37.760 align:center
Who will protect the Wu family?

00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.360 align:center
You're forcing me!

00:39:51.680 --> 00:39:55.040 align:center
If you don't like Young Lady Liang,

00:39:55.040 --> 00:39:58.360 align:center
I have several candidates from other families.

00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:00.760 align:center
You can choose any.

00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:02.720 align:center
Except for the daughters of the Dou family.

00:40:02.720 --> 00:40:06.640 align:center
Even if you seek death, I will not agree to it.

00:40:19.560 --> 00:40:22.960 align:center
This is Physician Li who is here to treat Young Master Wu.

00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:26.640 align:center
Please come with me. This way, please.

00:40:33.840 --> 00:40:35.480 align:center
I'm sorry. Please wait for a while.

00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:37.600 align:center
She'll be back soon.

00:40:43.520 --> 00:40:46.080 align:center
The floor is cold.

00:40:52.240 --> 00:40:54.040 align:center
Grandpa,

00:40:54.040 --> 00:40:55.920 align:center
do you think...

00:40:56.520 --> 00:40:59.200 align:center
I refused treatment

00:40:59.200 --> 00:41:03.200 align:center
because I wanted to force you to let me marry Fourth Young Lady Dou?

00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.960 align:center
She doesn't love me at all.

00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:09.600 align:center
I just don't want to accept the fact that

00:41:09.600 --> 00:41:13.160 align:center
I should get married to stabilize the family.

00:41:13.160 --> 00:41:16.880 align:center
I don't want to lie to myself and hurt others!

00:41:20.520 --> 00:41:24.200 align:center
I just want to break free from this prison.

00:41:24.200 --> 00:41:26.160 align:center
I just want to live my life without turning against my will.

00:41:26.160 --> 00:41:28.720 align:center
Can't I do that?

00:41:29.320 --> 00:41:31.520 align:center
Do you take me...

00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:35.880 align:center
as a prison?

00:41:36.560 --> 00:41:40.400 align:center
Can't you see that I protect you from the wind and rain every day?

00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:43.120 align:center
Do you think everything will go well

00:41:43.120 --> 00:41:46.360 align:center
when you do wood crafting?

00:42:04.040 --> 00:42:07.880 align:center
Fourth Young Lady Dou, is there still a chance to see you again for a fifth time?

00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:10.920 align:center
Even if you don't change your mind, I'd still be happy.

00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:13.720 align:center
You lied to me to gain my trust. You informed your Fifth Uncle of the information.

00:42:13.720 --> 00:42:16.000 align:center
Shouldn't I be suspicious of you?
