00:00:00Mom, Doubao is hungry. Want some congee?
00:00:07Fine.
00:00:08Drink, drink, drink. That's all you do.
00:00:11Ever since the bitch of your mother gave birth to you,
00:00:13Song Yang's city suffered years of drought. No more congee.
00:00:17Mother-in-law, what are you implying?
00:00:19Song Yang's drought has nothing to do with Doubao.
00:00:22The food we eat comes from my labor.
00:00:23If you keep this up, I'll quit working.
00:00:26You.
00:00:27Just wait.
00:00:30Be good, Doubao. You'll get congee soon.
00:00:43I'll drown you in it. Fatherless bastard.
00:00:47Why should you live off our Chen family?
00:00:49Drink our resources.
00:00:52Drink up.
00:00:53Okay.
00:01:00Doubao? Doubao?
00:01:18What's wrong, Doubao?
00:01:20Mom, my stomach hurts.
00:01:26Doubao? Stay with me.
00:01:28Get the physician.
00:01:31No physicians.
00:01:32This brat's cursed.
00:01:34Three years of failed crops are her fault.
00:01:36Let's end this now.
00:01:38For everyone's sake.
00:01:40Mother-in-law.
00:01:41You mean, you poisoned her?
00:01:43If you can't do it, I'll take you both out.
00:01:46Reunite in hell.
00:01:48Drink this.
00:01:49No.
00:01:50Drink.
00:01:50Drink.
00:01:51Shouldn't I be fighting zombies in the apocalypse?
00:01:57Why am I here?
00:01:58Did I time travel?
00:02:01Drink.
00:02:05Thank goodness.
00:02:06My zombie fighting supplies came with me.
00:02:09Otherwise, in this godforsaken place, how would I survive?
00:02:18Doubao?
00:02:19She's possessed.
00:02:22Doubao, are you okay?
00:02:23You scared me to death.
00:02:25Ah, I'm Doubao.
00:02:27What an awful name.
00:02:29Mom, I'm fine.
00:02:31Bitch.
00:02:32Tougher than I thought.
00:02:33Still alive after that?
00:02:35So this is the devil who bullies me.
00:02:38Looks like a monkey, living up to every bit of my stereotype.
00:02:42Today, I'll rid the world of you.
00:02:45With me here, you won't touch, Doubao.
00:02:47Whoa.
00:02:48Damn, that's bold.
00:02:49Ruthless.
00:02:50I like it.
00:02:51How dare you?
00:02:52If our Chen family kept you as daughter-in-law, you'd have been sold to some brothel.
00:02:57No.
00:03:02Mother-in-law.
00:03:04The moment you hurt, Doubao, you ceased being family.
00:03:07If this Chen household won't shelter us, we'll leave together.
00:03:10Do you know how dangerous it is out there?
00:03:14Corrupt officials, starving refugees everywhere.
00:03:17Food costs more than gold.
00:03:19You two go out there, you'll freeze or starve.
00:03:22And then, no one will bury you.
00:03:24Better that than staying to endure your nasty face.
00:03:27You.
00:03:28Don't worry, Mom.
00:03:29With Doubao here, I'll give you the finest life.
00:03:33Fine.
00:03:34Let's go.
00:03:34Hey, you can't leave.
00:03:47Who's the bastard that left banana peels here?
00:03:51Ouch, that hurt.
00:03:52Your Majesty, it's time for your meal.
00:04:04Have the Imperial Kitchen clear the dishes.
00:04:07We have no appetite at this moment.
00:04:10Your Majesty, you haven't eaten in days.
00:04:12For the sake of your health, this humble servant dares to implore Your Majesty to take some nourishment.
00:04:19We said we have no appetite.
00:04:22Songyang City suffers endless droughts.
00:04:25Our people lie dead in the streets, struggling to survive.
00:04:29How can we think of dining?
00:04:31Your Majesty, didn't you send two princes to handle the disaster relief?
00:04:36Why still burden yourself?
00:04:40All faults lie with us.
00:04:41The responsibility is ours.
00:04:44Our actions must have angered the heavens.
00:04:48Hence this punishment upon our people.
00:04:52Your Majesty, I bring glad tidings.
00:04:59Last night's celestial alignment revealed an auspicious sign northwest, a most propitious omen.
00:05:05Songyang's drought crisis may find resolution.
00:05:07Can this be true, Minister?
00:05:10On my honor, Your Majesty, should we locate a young girl bearing an onyx pendant, she may hold the key to our city's salvation.
00:05:19Hear our decree.
00:05:20Mobilize all resources to find the girl with the onyx pendant.
00:05:25Informants shall receive a thousand gold reward.
00:05:29At once, Your Majesty.
00:05:29Congratulations, Crown Prince.
00:05:33Let's drink till dawn.
00:05:35Agreed.
00:05:35To the last drop.
00:05:37Your Highness.
00:05:43Excellent.
00:05:44Heaven smiles on Songyang.
00:05:47By this prince's order, all troops shall search for the onyx pendant girl.
00:05:53Brother, Father sent us here for disaster relief, not to divert forces for some wild goose chase.
00:05:59Moreover, how could some pendant save our city?
00:06:02This makes no sense.
00:06:05Tang Qinglin, know your place.
00:06:08You are just my assistant.
00:06:09My decisions require no approval from the likes of you.
00:06:12Daobao, staying with Mother might not see Dawn's light.
00:06:26Do you regret it?
00:06:28Not one bit.
00:06:31Mom.
00:06:32Mom.
00:06:38Drink water.
00:06:42Mom, you're finally awake.
00:06:49What just happened to me?
00:06:50Everything went dark suddenly.
00:06:52Then I blacked out completely.
00:06:54You were severely dehydrated from lack of water intake.
00:06:57Luckily, I got you hydrated.
00:06:59Mom, you scared me to death.
00:07:02This water you mentioned is from that thing?
00:07:06This bottle looks magical.
00:07:08Daobao, explain this to me.
00:07:10Water's so scarce these days.
00:07:12Where did you get this?
00:07:13Oh no.
00:07:14I was so focused on saving you.
00:07:15Forgot mineral water doesn't exist here.
00:07:18What should I do now?
00:07:19How do I explain this?
00:07:21It's alright, Daobao.
00:07:23If it's hard to explain, we'll keep it secret.
00:07:26But you must guard this secret.
00:07:27Don't tell anyone.
00:07:28Understand?
00:07:30I promise.
00:07:31Mom, Daobao will protect this secret.
00:07:35Let me go!
00:07:36Release me!
00:07:37What are you doing?
00:07:39Hand my daughter.
00:07:40Let go.
00:07:41Sir, my child's father.
00:07:49My husband.
00:07:53My husband.
00:07:55Brother, let this end here.
00:07:58There's no girl with an onyx pendant in Song Yang.
00:08:02Your actions will only make things worse for Song Yang.
00:08:04How dare you?
00:08:06You're just an illegitimate son.
00:08:08My decisions as prince need no approval from you.
00:08:11Perhaps you want the throne?
00:08:13That's not what I meant.
00:08:14Your highness.
00:08:22Release me!
00:08:22Unhand me now!
00:08:24No.
00:08:26Search.
00:08:27Search every corner of Song Yang.
00:08:29I refuse to believe anyone can hide from me.
00:08:32Yes.
00:08:32What are you planning?
00:08:40Your highness.
00:08:41The child meant no harm.
00:08:43I'll take her away at once.
00:08:44Wait.
00:08:44Wait.
00:08:44Your highness.
00:08:54She speaks without filter.
00:08:56Please don't hold it against her.
00:08:58It matters not.
00:09:00I merely seek an item.
00:09:02I beg your pardon, madam.
00:09:03What item do you seek?
00:09:06All will be revealed shortly.
00:09:10Seize her.
00:09:12Don't touch Do Bao.
00:09:14Release my mother.
00:09:16Villains.
00:09:16You're all villains.
00:09:30Hangxinglin.
00:09:31Do you plan rebellion?
00:09:33We came here to aid disaster victims.
00:09:36Yet you pursue that onyx pendant.
00:09:38Time and again, oppressing Song Yang citizens.
00:09:41How could I stand idly by?
00:09:42What?
00:09:43They seek you onyx pendant?
00:09:45The queen always warned me about you.
00:09:47You and your treacherous ambitions.
00:09:48I didn't want to believe it.
00:09:49But seeing this now, it's exactly as she said.
00:09:52Today, you won't leave this place alive.
00:09:54Brother.
00:09:55The throne.
00:09:56I never sought it for myself.
00:09:57Everything I've done has been for the people of Song Yang.
00:10:00Huh.
00:10:00Enough of your patriotic pretense.
00:10:05Guards.
00:10:06Seize him.
00:10:08Brother.
00:10:09So this is how you treat family?
00:10:11For the glory of Doocyan, capture this traitor alive.
00:10:14Ten thousand hills of gold to the victor.
00:10:16Oh, he's so good.
00:10:42Useless fools.
00:11:03Your Highness, let me show you something special.
00:11:06My eyes.
00:11:10Run.
00:11:11Now.
00:11:11Your Highness, we'll meet again, if fate allows.
00:11:14My eyes.
00:11:15I can't see.
00:11:22Hold tight.
00:11:23Hiya.
00:11:24Why does this feel like you're going to be here?
00:11:54I'm still so familiar.
00:11:59I haven't even dismounted yet.
00:12:13Daobao.
00:12:14What did you spray on him earlier?
00:12:16He's the Crown Prince.
00:12:17A man of noble status.
00:12:19If he were to die here, otherwise...
00:12:21Don't worry, Uncle Tang.
00:12:22Daobao knows what I'm doing.
00:12:23It'll just make his eyes sting briefly.
00:12:26A water rinse will fix it.
00:12:28That's reassuring.
00:12:31Somehow, I keep feeling this woman resembles the courtesan from the brothel we encountered that day.
00:12:38Uncle Tang, you're a prince, yet maintain a private encampment.
00:12:42Could it be?
00:12:44You're plotting rebellion?
00:12:46Daobao, watch your mouth.
00:12:49Daobao, you're surprisingly well informed.
00:12:51Of course.
00:12:52I also know Uncle Tang and that nasty man earlier.
00:12:54Don't get along.
00:12:55You want the Crown Prince's position.
00:12:58Children speak without filter.
00:13:00She meant no harm, Your Highness.
00:13:01Please don't take offense.
00:13:03No offense taken.
00:13:04In times of disaster, princes and commoners are equally vulnerable.
00:13:14Your Highness.
00:13:18These are...
00:13:20A mother and child I found stranded.
00:13:23I brought them here for shelter.
00:13:24This is unwise.
00:13:25Our provisions are already scarce.
00:13:28Feeding two more mouths.
00:13:30We'll...
00:13:31Then deduct the portions from my share.
00:13:34Give mine to them.
00:13:36Absolutely not.
00:13:37Your health is paramount.
00:13:39You're the strongest contender for the throne.
00:13:41How can you jeopardize your own well-being?
00:13:44Then what would you have me do?
00:13:45Should I heartlessly pass them back onto the streets?
00:13:48You followed me because of my compassion, did you not?
00:13:51If I abandon these helpless souls to their fate,
00:13:54tell me, is that the ruler you wish to serve?
00:13:57This.
00:13:58This.
00:14:03Um, let me say something.
00:14:05Food supplies.
00:14:07Easy.
00:14:07I'll handle that problem myself.
00:14:09You're in charge.
00:14:10A young girl like you,
00:14:12managing military provisions,
00:14:13can handle this responsibility.
00:14:18Daobao...
00:14:18Tell me truthfully now.
00:14:20Are you truly confident?
00:14:21I've got this.
00:14:22I believe in you.
00:14:24If Daobao can truly resolve the supply shortage,
00:14:30will you grant us shelter in the camp?
00:14:32Naturally.
00:14:33But if she fails...
00:14:36We'll depart immediately, without delay.
00:14:39No exceptions.
00:14:41Agreed.
00:14:42Preposterous.
00:14:43Zhou Xiaoxing, have I been too lenient?
00:14:45Letting you overstep?
00:14:47Your Highness, this was their proposal,
00:14:49not my suggestion.
00:14:51Your repeated interrogation forced this outlandish scheme from them.
00:14:55You're the instigator.
00:14:57Calm yourself, Sire.
00:14:58We're imposing on you.
00:15:00Should this burden you?
00:15:01We'll leave honorably.
00:15:03Now, if Daobao succeeds in solving the crisis,
00:15:06we'll stay without worry.
00:15:08Ruo Lan, you don't grasp the stakes.
00:15:10This drought's left.
00:15:12Barren lands for miles.
00:15:13No crops survive here.
00:15:16That's why I'm essential.
00:15:19The old man, name your price.
00:15:21What food do you want?
00:15:22Who you calling old?
00:15:24You're out of everyone here.
00:15:25You're the eldest.
00:15:26Fine.
00:15:27Don't blame me later.
00:15:29Every soldier in this camp craves a taste of pork.
00:15:32You can't possibly conjure meat from air?
00:15:35Leave it to me.
00:15:37If I materialize dishes, they'll dissect me.
00:15:40No choice.
00:15:41I'll summon a pig.
00:15:41The pig is here.
00:15:53Thought you were so tough, huh?
00:15:55Just a fraud playing tricks.
00:15:57Guards.
00:15:58Take this girl and this woman out of the camp immediately.
00:16:01Don't touch Daobao.
00:16:03We'll leave on our own.
00:16:04No need to go.
00:16:06As long as I'm here, no one dares make you leave.
00:16:13Wait.
00:16:14Wait.
00:16:14Help.
00:16:24Help me.
00:16:32What's going on?
00:16:33I don't know.
00:16:34I was sleeping in the tent when suddenly, wild boar appeared.
00:16:39Uncle Tang, it's your call.
00:16:40Watch and learn.
00:17:01Uncle Tang is so cool.
00:17:10Mr. Zhou, now can my daughter and I stay in the camp?
00:17:14Hmm.
00:17:24Smells amazing.
00:17:25This is rare.
00:17:26The texture is perfect.
00:17:31Here.
00:17:36Daobao, thank you.
00:17:37You're Song Yang City's lucky star, not some girl with an onyx pendant.
00:17:43Uncle Tang, the onyx pendant you mentioned, is this it?
00:17:47This?
00:17:48This?
00:17:49Daobao, where did this pendant come from?
00:17:51My loot collection from monster hunting days.
00:17:54But if I put it that way, they won't understand.
00:17:56Actions speak louder than words.
00:17:59I've worn this since childhood.
00:18:01What's wrong, Uncle Tang?
00:18:02Your Highness, is there something wrong with the pendant?
00:18:05No.
00:18:06It's just that it matches what I'm looking for.
00:18:09This matter is of grave importance, affecting the people's safety.
00:18:12I need to verify it again.
00:18:14Your Highness, perhaps this pendant is connected to the Royal Astrologer's auspicious divination.
00:18:19We must remain vigilant.
00:18:24Your Highness, go to the palace tonight.
00:18:26Inform the Emperor immediately.
00:18:28As you command.
00:18:29Wait, Your Highness.
00:18:30Let me give you a hand.
00:18:32Girl, what's this thing?
00:18:40This is a walkie-talkie.
00:18:41Here, take this one.
00:18:43And this for you.
00:18:46This?
00:18:49Walkie-talkie.
00:18:50As the name suggests, it lets you two communicate through this device, no matter the distance.
00:18:55This is incredible.
00:19:00In that case, we must act swiftly.
00:19:02Go and return quickly.
00:19:03Understood.
00:19:03Talk.
00:19:24Where is that traitor?
00:19:30Hidden those two, bitch?
00:19:38Not talking, huh?
00:19:40What a pathetic dog.
00:19:42Your Highness, retreat!
00:19:44What's that thing?
00:19:45Your Highness, retreat now.
00:19:47What was that?
00:19:50What was that?
00:19:55Damn it.
00:19:56Within a 50-kilometer radius, leave no stone unturned.
00:20:00Search the area.
00:20:08Your Highness, retreat now.
00:20:12Prepare the horses.
00:20:14Return to the palace immediately.
00:20:15The Crown Prince has more troops.
00:20:17They'll find us within two hours.
00:20:19They'll locate our hideout.
00:20:21They won't act recklessly.
00:20:22The hour of the 1 a.m.
00:20:24Yes, exactly.
00:20:25That must be their plan.
00:20:27Uncle Tan, wait.
00:20:28I have a strategy.
00:20:30Would you hear me out?
00:20:32Let's hear it.
00:20:33Have your men keep weapons by their pillows.
00:20:45Let my dear brother experience what it's like to ambush sitting ducks.
00:20:50Hey, old man.
00:20:51Have you lost your mind?
00:20:53People sleep deepest during the hour of the 1 a.m.
00:20:56They plan to launch a sneak attack.
00:21:01Brilliant.
00:21:03This little girl is more cunning than she looks.
00:21:07How dare you?
00:21:27You insult His Highness.
00:21:29Shh.
00:21:30Could you old folks stop overreacting?
00:21:33It's just a night vision device.
00:21:35Does it work well?
00:21:39Uncle Tang knows best.
00:21:48Attack.
00:21:50Attack.
00:21:52Attack.
00:22:02Attack.
00:22:03Attack.
00:22:03Attack.
00:22:05You traitorous dog.
00:22:33This crown prince will bury you here.
00:22:37Uncle Tang, watch out.
00:22:42How dare you attack my savior.
00:22:44You'll pay dearly for this.
00:22:45Let me show you my gatling's power.
00:22:56That's your weapon.
00:22:57A rusty bucket.
00:22:58Scared now, aren't you?
00:22:59Pathetic.
00:23:00Pathetic.
00:23:01I've never known fear since the day I was born.
00:23:11This is terrifying.
00:23:12Somebody help.
00:23:14Useless.
00:23:15It's just a stupid bucket.
00:23:16Stop being cowards.
00:23:17Attack them.
00:23:18Your Highness, my mother and children need me.
00:23:20They can't die here.
00:23:21Worthless fool.
00:23:24You'll pay for this later.
00:23:26The princess forces outnumber us.
00:23:28Uncle Tang has been wounded.
00:23:30We're hopelessly outmatched.
00:23:31This isn't sustainable.
00:23:32Survival comes first.
00:23:34Strategic retreat.
00:23:35Best plan ever.
00:23:36Next time, you won't escape.
00:23:38Get in quickly.
00:23:49What's this contraption?
00:23:51A horseless carriage.
00:23:52Automatic transmission.
00:23:54Step here to accelerate.
00:23:57Care to taste.
00:23:58My bug spray, Your Highness.
00:24:03My eyes.
00:24:05I'm done with this.
00:24:06See ya, suckers.
00:24:07Water.
00:24:12What's the situation?
00:24:18Why are you stuttering and stumbling over your words?
00:24:21Out with it.
00:24:23Your Majesty, this old servant has yet to receive any word from the two princes.
00:24:32Send more personnel.
00:24:33At once.
00:24:35Calm your wrath, Your Majesty.
00:24:36We beg your mercy.
00:24:37Urgent report.
00:24:40Your Majesty.
00:24:41The royal astrologer seeks audience.
00:24:43He claims urgent matters to disclose.
00:24:44Bring him in.
00:24:46As you command.
00:24:48Sire.
00:24:50Disaster looms.
00:24:51The celestial signs have shifted.
00:24:53Venus appears frequently in daylight.
00:24:55A dire omen of calamity.
00:24:56A portent of doom.
00:24:57Then?
00:24:58What remedy exists?
00:25:00What remedy exists?
00:25:01Well, alas.
00:25:04You all stand here, mumbling like fools.
00:25:08Is there a solution or not?
00:25:10We've offended the heavens.
00:25:12The onyx-pendant maiden must be sacrificed to appease the gods.
00:25:16Your Majesty, we must act decisively.
00:25:22Her life secures the realm's peace and brings prosperity to the people.
00:25:26The masses will sing praises to your wisdom.
00:25:37Kinglin.
00:25:39What's so funny?
00:25:41I was wondering.
00:25:42Which clever lady bandaged my wounds so skillfully?
00:25:45It's been over a month.
00:25:49Your injuries should be almost healed by now.
00:25:52Is that so?
00:25:54What a shame then.
00:25:56What do you mean?
00:25:58That way.
00:25:59I won't get to enjoy your daily nursing care anymore.
00:26:05Your Highness.
00:26:07Stop teasing me.
00:26:14What?
00:26:16Don't want to?
00:26:17No.
00:26:19Your Highness, your wound might reopen.
00:26:22Why worry?
00:26:23I have you here.
00:26:33Uncle Tang, Mom.
00:26:34Look what you bow brought for you guys.
00:26:40Seems I came at a bad time.
00:26:42Uncle Tang, carry on.
00:26:45By the way, Ruolan, I've finally witnessed Do Bao's true power.
00:26:51She's truly the lucky star of Songyang City.
00:26:54What's wrong, Ruolan?
00:26:57My mother-in-law kept saying,
00:27:00Do Bao was Songyang's curse.
00:27:02That child never had.
00:27:03A single good day at home.
00:27:05That's nonsense.
00:27:06Do Bao's adorable.
00:27:07She hates evil and stands for justice.
00:27:10Why do I feel her personality resembles mine?
00:27:13I quite like that.
00:27:14Really?
00:27:15Would I lie to you?
00:27:16As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone harm you all.
00:27:25My injuries are almost healed.
00:27:27We'll pack in a few days and return to palace.
00:27:29My father will be delighted to see you and Do Bao.
00:27:32As you wish.
00:27:36You clap one.
00:27:38I clap one.
00:27:40Together.
00:27:41What is it, Xing Lin?
00:27:43Don't you think we've been too comfortable lately?
00:27:46You mean the crown prince?
00:27:48Don't worry, Uncle Tang.
00:27:50My gatling gun last time will keep them busy.
00:27:57This was my precious zombie apocalypse gear.
00:28:00Their rusty junk can't compare.
00:28:03True.
00:28:03Xing Lin, the crown prince lost many troops last time.
00:28:07They probably need time to recover.
00:28:10Let's hope so.
00:28:14Ha ha ha ha.
00:28:15Your highness, what have you been up to lately?
00:28:18Mayer's been missing you terribly.
00:28:21I've been in his majesty's good graces recently.
00:28:23Swamped with duties beyond measure.
00:28:25I thought perhaps, your highness, you'd forgotten about me.
00:28:29How could I forget?
00:28:31Such a charming flower.
00:28:33I can't stop thinking of you.
00:28:35You're such a sweet talker.
00:28:37First you took that country bumpkin, Heru Olan.
00:28:40Promised me freedom.
00:28:42And all the luxuries.
00:28:44Now you've vanished like morning dew.
00:28:48Mayor, what did you just say?
00:28:52Repeat that.
00:28:54Your highness, what are you doing?
00:28:56You startled me.
00:29:00Mayor, you're my greatest treasure.
00:29:04Ha, dear brother.
00:29:05I must prepare you a grand gift.
00:29:08Don't you dare.
00:29:09Refuse your elder brother's kindness.
00:29:11Your majesty, I bring urgent news.
00:29:27Hmm.
00:29:28This child is the one the royal oracle spoke of.
00:29:30The girl with the onyx pendant.
00:29:32Is this true?
00:29:38Come.
00:29:38Come.
00:29:39Let me see this child.
00:29:42Approach.
00:29:48Ah.
00:29:49She's quite comely.
00:29:50Pity about her cursed fortune.
00:29:52Your majesty, don't heed these slanderous lies.
00:29:59Your royal descendants barging in with utter disrespect.
00:30:02This is preposterous.
00:30:04Calm your anger, your majesty.
00:30:06I only worry that your majesty might be misled by villains.
00:30:10What do you mean?
00:30:11Explain yourself.
00:30:12This girl was conceived when my brother frequented brothels with a courtesan years ago.
00:30:20She's no divine maiden destined to save our dynasty.
00:30:23What?
00:30:24What soap opera twist is this?
00:30:25The crown prince has gone mad.
00:30:27Nonsense.
00:30:28My brother denies his own deeds.
00:30:31Slander.
00:30:32Your majesty, my conscience is clear.
00:30:35I've never committed any transgression.
00:30:37I beg your majesty's fair judgment.
00:30:39Very well.
00:30:39If your conscience is clear, let's conduct a blood test to verify kinship.
00:30:45Guards.
00:30:48This matter concerns royal bloodlines.
00:30:50No room for games.
00:30:52Hey, could you all consider my feelings?
00:30:55Your majesty, I only wish to protect royal purity.
00:31:06Proceed, brother.
00:31:07Your majesty, my conscience is clear.
00:31:10Your clear conscience?
00:31:12Then a blood test won't hurt.
00:31:31Your majesty, this...
00:31:34Treacherous son, any last words?
00:31:42Holy cow.
00:31:43I'm King Lynn, my dad.
00:31:44No way.
00:31:45What a coincidence.
00:31:46Time travel once, and I get this drama?
00:31:50Confine this traitor to the West Wing.
00:31:52Without my decree, none shall visit him.
00:31:55Your majesty, I'm innocent.
00:31:57Why punish me?
00:31:58Innocent?
00:31:59If the evidence condemns you, then I shall keep you confined.
00:32:06Release me.
00:32:07You wanted to be crown prince?
00:32:09Let's see you claim it now.
00:32:11Let's go.
00:32:12Release me now.
00:32:13Guards!
00:32:14Summon the royal preceptor immediately.
00:32:18Your servant greets your majesty.
00:32:21Rise.
00:32:21Thank you, your majesty.
00:32:26What urgent matter brings your majesty's call?
00:32:29This late night summons must be dire.
00:32:31Your majesty, this is precisely what I sought.
00:32:52The onyx pendant.
00:32:54It's genuine beyond doubt.
00:32:56The girl linked to the pendant.
00:32:58When I approached this child, her extraordinary countenance revealed.
00:33:03She's undoubtedly the chosen one.
00:33:05At the coming ritual ceremony, when object and human unite, the people shall be saved.
00:33:11Ritual sacrifice, this bastard child born of sin serves dual purpose.
00:33:15Silencing gossiping tongues.
00:33:17Her worthless life secures the empire's stability.
00:33:20This is her blessed fate through three incarnations.
00:33:23All my actions serve the common people's welfare.
00:33:25Your majesty, your majesty.
00:33:30Shall we proceed tomorrow?
00:33:36Tomorrow's stars aren't auspicious, but with sufficient devotion.
00:33:40Sooner proves better.
00:33:42I entrust this matter to you.
00:33:44Select an auspicious hour.
00:33:46I'll lead the rites personally.
00:33:48As your majesty commands.
00:33:50Why does the emperor rage so?
00:33:59Preserve your imperial health.
00:34:04This is your son's doing.
00:34:06See what disgrace he's wrought.
00:34:08My liege.
00:34:09Lin is young and foolish.
00:34:10I beg you.
00:34:11Grant him one more chance.
00:34:13He's still the prince.
00:34:14Your own flesh and blood.
00:34:16Were it not for Yun's report, my imperial dignity would have been trampled in mud.
00:34:22Defend him again and share his punishment.
00:34:26Out of my sight.
00:34:28Yes, sire.
00:34:34Curse that crown prince.
00:34:36Lin, after all I've sacrificed, why stay so reckless?
00:34:40Your highness, you mustn't drink anymore.
00:34:42It will harm your health.
00:34:44Hurt my health?
00:34:44Ha ha ha.
00:34:47A woman with no power or connections.
00:34:49And ordinary looks like me.
00:34:51Who would care?
00:34:53Your highness, don't degrade yourself.
00:34:56You're the emperor's imperial consort now.
00:34:58Your future will improve.
00:34:59If you bear a prince, all worries will vanish.
00:35:03Exactly.
00:35:04They trample on me.
00:35:05So I'll climb over their heads to reach higher.
00:35:07Congratulations, your highness.
00:35:15The pulse is steady.
00:35:17The fetus in your womb is healthy.
00:35:21Royal physician, I have a request.
00:35:24Speak freely.
00:35:25I value my privacy.
00:35:27Please keep this matter confidential.
00:35:30Understood.
00:35:31Rest assured, your highness.
00:35:33My gratitude.
00:35:34Physician, we escort the physician out.
00:35:37At once.
00:35:49Absurd.
00:35:50This is utterly absurd.
00:35:51How could I possibly...
00:35:55That woman from the night?
00:36:07It was her?
00:36:08Your subject greets your majesty.
00:36:17Through days of celestial observation, this humble servant has discovered Venus has frequently
00:36:22appeared during daylight hours, reaching its zenith precisely at the noon hour each day.
00:36:28Therefore, this humble servant believes tomorrow's high noon exactly is the most auspicious time
00:36:33for the ritual.
00:36:34Good.
00:36:36Proceed as you've advised.
00:36:38As your majesty commands.
00:36:39Send orders.
00:36:47The altar must be meticulously cleansed, surrounded by ceremonial banners, and the Ministry of
00:36:52Rights shall prepare premium livestock, jade silks, and sacrificial grains.
00:36:57Not a single item may be omitted.
00:36:59Every offering must be meticulously chosen and verified for purity and perfection.
00:37:03As for the child, you too shall bathe her and dress her in ritual garments.
00:37:08She is to receive no further nourishment.
00:37:10Understood.
00:37:11Our dynasty's prosperity depends on this.
00:37:13No mistakes will be tolerated.
00:37:15Should any error occur, the punishment will extend to nine generations of kin.
00:37:20This old servant wouldn't dare.
00:37:22Even with ten heads each, we'd never risk failure.
00:37:25See that you do.
00:37:27Now go.
00:37:27Your highness, the prince, has been confined to the West Wing.
00:37:34How infuriating.
00:37:35Doesn't he know how to fight back?
00:37:36Just because they claim it's his, he accepts it without question.
00:37:40Who does this temperament even come from?
00:37:42His highness has always been gentle, but the crown prince employs underhanded schemes.
00:37:47His highness fell right into his trap.
00:37:50Your urgent priority now should be rescuing his highness.
00:37:53Lin must not face more complications.
00:37:58If my son perishes, I'll never regain my standing.
00:38:04Come here.
00:38:08Your highness, will this plan work?
00:38:11Given the circumstances, I must take this gamble.
00:38:18Who's there after them?
00:38:19Quee, why are you here?
00:38:27Your highness, save your strength.
00:38:29Let's escape first.
00:38:30Did my mother send you?
00:38:31How is she faring?
00:38:32Her highness pleaded for you before the emperor earlier.
00:38:35His majesty raged, vowing that if she pleads for you again, she'll share your punishment.
00:38:40What's her current situation?
00:38:42With everyone distracted by the sacrificial ritual, security here is lax.
00:38:47Her highness ordered me to rescue you now.
00:38:50What sacrificial ritual?
00:38:51Your highness has been confined these past two days.
00:38:54You might not know.
00:38:55Rumors say it involves a girl with an onyx pendant.
00:38:58The emperor himself will conduct the sacrifice today.
00:39:00What?
00:39:02Your majesty still favors the brother.
00:39:04He still holds hope.
00:39:05If we eliminate that child during the ritual, all grievances will be resolved.
00:39:11Indeed, your highness.
00:39:12You got lucky this time.
00:39:14Damn it.
00:39:15We failed to eliminate him this time.
00:39:18That brat got off easy.
00:39:23Your highness.
00:39:24I have a plan to propose, though I hesitate to share it.
00:39:28Speak up or shut up.
00:39:29Your highness.
00:39:30The younger one's useless.
00:39:33What about the elder one?
00:39:36The elder.
00:39:37Exactly.
00:39:39That's his greatest weakness.
00:39:40I'll make arrangements immediately.
00:39:49By order of the crown prince, search the city for the woman in this portrait.
00:39:53The first to bring her back gets a reward of 10,000 gold coins.
00:39:56Understood.
00:40:00Understood.
00:40:08Where am I?
00:40:09Did I time travel again?
00:40:11What the hell is going on now?
00:40:13Heaven and earth rejoice, blessed by divine majesty.
00:40:24Today, we consecrate this altar to protect our Chen country, ensuring eternal prosperity.
00:40:30A three-minute time travel trial.
00:40:32I haven't even shown my skills yet.
00:40:34Will my legacy end here?
00:40:36Help!
00:40:37Someone saved me, even with all my talents.
00:40:40I can't use them here.
00:40:44Who's that?
00:40:45It's Uncle Tang and the crown prince.
00:40:48Father, what are you doing?
00:40:51Thank God, it's Uncle Tang.
00:40:53I'm saved at last.
00:40:59How could you handle things this way?
00:41:02Why is the prince here?
00:41:04I should be asking.
00:41:05Why your majesty is here?
00:41:07What's with Do Bao?
00:41:09I'm doing this for the people.
00:41:11I beg you to spare Do Bao's life.
00:41:14I've witnessed her abilities.
00:41:15Sacrificing her now would be your majesty's loss.
00:41:23Your majesty rules with benevolence.
00:41:30I trust you won't make rash decisions based on the royal preceptor's mistake.
00:41:34Sacrificing an innocent life.
00:41:39Then, what about the drought?
00:41:41People are suffering.
00:41:42How should I respond?
00:41:45This.
00:41:48Begin the sacrificial ritual immediately.
00:41:51Yes, your majesty.
00:42:04Ah, this.
00:42:05Your majesty.
00:42:06Disaster has struck.
00:42:08The child has disappeared.
00:42:10I'm right here.
00:42:13Do Bao, come back.
00:42:18Enough with your bickering.
00:42:20None of you can solve.
00:42:21Song Yang's perpetual drought.
00:42:23Your majesty, let me handle this.
00:42:27You impudent brat.
00:42:28How could a youngster like you solve this crisis?
00:42:31Old man, don't blame the pot when your horse is weak.
00:42:34Your failure doesn't mean I can't succeed.
00:42:39Preposterous.
00:42:40Your majesty, you mustn't trust this child's nonsense.
00:42:44Unbelievable.
00:42:45You claim to have a solution?
00:42:49Then, enlighten us.
00:42:51How will you resolve what seasoned ministers cannot?
00:42:55Your majesty, please trust me.
00:42:57Three days.
00:42:58If I can't make rain, within three days you may punish me as you see fit.
00:43:03If I can't make rain, within three days you may punish me as you see fit.
00:43:08That was close.
00:43:09Too close.
00:43:10Never expected this cursed place would be deadlier than fighting zombies in the apocalypse.
00:43:15I almost lost my life there.
00:43:17But making rain, that's something I've never attempted.
00:43:20Shouldn't be too hard, right?
00:43:22Your highness.
00:43:24Your highness.
00:43:25News from the outskirts.
00:43:27That woman was captured by the crown prince's men.
00:43:30What?
00:43:31When did this happen?
00:43:32Mother!
00:43:35Your highness.
00:43:37What about the task I assigned you?
00:43:39This humble servant has spent days searching every corner of the estate, but found no trace of that woman.
00:43:46Useless.
00:43:47What good are you?
00:43:49Even a dog would be more useful.
00:43:51Your highness, I swear.
00:43:52I've combed through every hiding spot.
00:43:58Your highness.
00:43:59What's our next move?
00:44:01Damned fool.
00:44:02Must have hidden that woman somewhere.
00:44:04Your highness, perhaps we should...
00:44:05Wait.
00:44:06Issue my royal decree.
00:44:08Send more troops to search the outskirts.
00:44:10Anyone who finds this woman within three days will receive a fortune in gold.
00:44:15Understood.
00:44:17By order of the crown prince, within the next three days, whoever locates the woman in this portrait and brings her before his highness shall be rewarded with 10,000 gold.
00:44:28Yes.
00:44:28Move out.
00:44:34I'm out now.
00:44:35Help.
00:44:36Let me go.
00:44:37Daobao.
00:44:38You deal with the pray for rain at home.
00:44:40Leave your mother to me.
00:44:41My own mother is gone.
00:44:42How can I care about praying for rain?
00:44:45Wait a minute.
00:44:47Where are you going to find...
00:44:49Don't know anything.
00:44:50When to find a...
00:44:50This...
00:44:51Hey, I found it.
00:44:57Fortunately, before I...
00:44:58Don't worry mother a person.
00:45:00Fit her with a tracker.
00:45:01So quickly.
00:45:02Come in handy.
00:45:03I think this is Daobao again.
00:45:04What kind of artifact?
00:45:05It is not too late.
00:45:07We'll go now.
00:45:08Uh-huh.
00:45:08Go.
00:45:09Hey, something's wrong.
00:45:10Uncle Tang.
00:45:11My mother moved.
00:45:11What?
00:45:12Let me see.
00:45:14Uncle Tang?
00:45:15Looking in this direction is like...
00:45:17Is the palace.
00:45:18Damn it.
00:45:19Ah.
00:45:20That's bad.
00:45:21Your mother was kidnapped into the palace.
00:45:22We are now in the past.
00:45:24It's too late.
00:45:25Super running is useless.
00:45:27The helicopter won't rise here either.
00:45:29Damn it.
00:45:30Whatever.
00:45:31Uncle Tang.
00:45:31Let's advance palace.
00:45:32Then improvise.
00:45:34That's what I thought.
00:45:34My brother's sinister.
00:45:35He can fabricate excuses out of thin air.
00:45:37Let's go.
00:45:40Your majesty.
00:45:42The crown prince requests an audience.
00:45:44I'm rather weary.
00:45:46Have him return tomorrow.
00:45:47The crown prince insists this is a matter of urgency.
00:45:50I think I saw it.
00:45:52The crown prince has brought along a woman.
00:45:55Oh.
00:45:56From what the crown prince's tone suggests, this woman might be connected to second prince.
00:46:02Admit them.
00:46:05Your son pays respects.
00:46:07Has your majesty been in good health?
00:46:10Well enough.
00:46:11Your visit is unexpected.
00:46:13You honor me too greatly.
00:46:15Chamberlain Yuan mentioned you bring urgent news.
00:46:18What did that?
00:46:18Me and brother have always been close.
00:46:23Recent events trouble me.
00:46:25I cannot allow this affair to ruin his future prospects.
00:46:28Are you implying this woman jeopardizes Qinglin's standing?
00:46:38Your wisdom illuminates truth.
00:46:40I cannot bear to see my brother's downfall.
00:46:43Explain yourself.
00:46:45This woman is the courtesan from years past.
00:46:49I recently discovered brother has concealed her in the bamboo grove.
00:46:52If this become public knowledge, rumors of imperial impropriety and failed parenting would spread like wildfire.
00:47:01This is preposterous.
00:47:02No, you misunderstand.
00:47:03These are baseless accusations.
00:47:22My apologies for the delay.
00:47:23Don't be scared, mother.
00:47:28I'll protect you.
00:47:31You unfilial brat.
00:47:33How dare you return?
00:47:36Do you truly distrust your own son so much?
00:47:39Why say such things, majesty?
00:47:41No need to rush to conclusions yet.
00:47:43We shouldn't blindly trust the crown prince's claims.
00:47:46Innocent people deserve justice.
00:47:48The evidence speaks for itself.
00:47:50What's left to explain?
00:47:52This truth you've known all along?
00:47:54Before the royal ceremony, you knew I was Uncle Tang's child.
00:47:58A child needs their mother.
00:47:59How?
00:48:01Dare you speak here?
00:48:02Your highness, leave room for reconciliation.
00:48:05Must you push this to the bitter end?
00:48:08What could I possibly say to a child?
00:48:10If not for you, we wouldn't have met Uncle Tang at all.
00:48:13Hmm.
00:48:15What's going on here?
00:48:16The crown prince ambushed Uncle Tang that night.
00:48:19He even stabbed his own brother.
00:48:21How heartless can one be?
00:48:23What?
00:48:24Is this true?
00:48:25It is, your majesty.
00:48:27The crown prince tried to kill us both.
00:48:29Uncle Tang saved us, but he was wounded by his highness.
00:48:33Without mother's care these past months, Uncle Tang would've...
00:48:37You're twisting the truth.
00:48:40Grand Imperial Father, look this.
00:48:42Uncle Ching Yun has become so aggressive now.
00:48:44One can imagine how he acts.
00:48:46Ruthless, and cunning in private.
00:48:49What?
00:48:49What's happening to me?
00:48:51Hearing this child's plea.
00:48:52Grand Imperial Father.
00:48:54Why do I feel something I've never felt before?
00:48:57It's like I'm compelled to believe her every word.
00:49:00Imperial Father.
00:49:02Imperial Father.
00:49:04What is it?
00:49:05I'm listening.
00:49:07Imperial Father.
00:49:08A child's thoughtless words shouldn't be taken seriously.
00:49:11Silence.
00:49:11Damnation.
00:49:14Damnation.
00:49:19Did you hurt anything?
00:49:20Why did it take so long?
00:49:22Don't fret, your highness.
00:49:23I waited until Xiao Dengzi from his majesty's side was alone, got him drunk for hours, before he finally talked.
00:49:29I knew he wasn't legitimate.
00:49:36If the Empress hadn't had premature labor, he'd never have become Crown Prince.
00:49:41This glory and wealth should be mine.
00:49:43My son is the true firstborn prince.
00:49:46Lower your voice, your highness.
00:49:48The palace walls have ears everywhere.
00:49:50Careful not to be overheard, or we'll face dire consequences.
00:49:53That brothel woman's schemes are impressive.
00:49:56She's manipulated my precious son to risk everything for her repeatedly.
00:50:03This time, all thanks to my loyal Dubow.
00:50:05Oh, it's nothing.
00:50:09Your majesty, a child's jest shouldn't be taken seriously.
00:50:12Silence.
00:50:13Damn it.
00:50:14Well, the tide seems to be turning.
00:50:16Heaven itself aids my cause.
00:50:18Your majesty, please discern the truth.
00:50:20I've never overstepped my bounds.
00:50:22For days, I've been framed by eldest brother.
00:50:24Just a few months ago, when I was fast asleep at midnight, he ambushed me.
00:50:28Daobao came to my aid and helped me escape.
00:50:31Such audacity.
00:50:32Indeed, royal grandfather, you must see the truth.
00:50:35My uncle Tang still bears deep scars on his arm from that night.
00:50:39Moreover, your majesty, how I met Ruolan.
00:50:42You should ask eldest brother.
00:50:45This...
00:50:45What is this to do with me?
00:50:47Could it be brother?
00:50:48Plans to play the fool?
00:50:50I don't know what you're implying.
00:50:54My brother's demeanor.
00:50:55He means to deny everything.
00:50:57Then I shall personally inform your majesty.
00:50:59Royal grandfather, hear Uncle Tang's account of events.
00:51:02Years ago, when brother was crowned crown prince.
00:51:05Today marks my royal celebration.
00:51:07Lords and gentlemen, we drink until dawn.
00:51:10Congratulations.
00:51:10Go.
00:51:11Brother, this is my grand occasion.
00:51:20Let's share a toast.
00:51:26Tang King Lin, what's your game?
00:51:29You'll drink this toast today.
00:51:31Willing or not.
00:51:34Lin, my child.
00:51:35You were born exceptional, but you were born from me.
00:51:39Cease this relentless ambition, especially with the crown prince.
00:51:43Avoid conflicts with him.
00:51:44I don't see him.
00:51:49Are you kidding me?
00:51:49I don't see him.
00:51:53I don't see him.
00:51:54I don't see him knowing.
00:51:54I don't know.
00:51:57Come on.
00:52:00I don't see him.

00:56:56sonetic
00:57:01sonetic
00:57:04sonetic
00:57:07sonetic
00:57:10sonetic
00:57:12Father, you're awake.
00:57:16Summon the Imperial Physician.
00:57:18Curse them. Don't let him escape.
00:57:21What's this? A tattoo?
00:57:23Cut off the screen first. Keep the evidence.
00:57:26Thankfully, His Majesty regained consciousness.
00:57:35His Majesty's pulse is stable now.
00:57:37However, his advanced age will slow his recovery.
00:57:40He remains slightly frail.
00:57:43I'll prepare herbal tonics for restorative rest.
00:57:46Your Highness, you may rest assured.
00:57:49However,
00:57:50Speak freely, Physician.
00:57:52His Majesty's rapid recovery is unprecedented in my career.
00:57:56This suggests divine protection guards his Imperial health.
00:58:00Yesterday, before my arrival, he took an elixir.
00:58:04Perhaps that caused this miracle.
00:58:06In decades of practice,
00:58:08I've never seen such potent medicine.
00:58:12I implore, Your Highness, to obtain two pills from the alchemist.
00:58:16I wish to study them further.
00:58:18This could save countless lives across our empire.
00:58:21This elixir's power is real.
00:58:23Daobao, are you heaven sent to save our dynasty's fortune?
00:58:26Your Highness.
00:58:29Physician, return to rest for now.
00:58:32When the Emperor recovers,
00:58:33I'll take that to the Imperial Hospital for you.
00:58:34My gratitude, Your Highness.
00:58:38This old servant takes leave.
00:58:50Imperial Father,
00:58:51focus on your recovery.
00:58:52Your son remains by your side.
00:58:58Father.
00:58:58Imperial Father.
00:59:03My dear son,
00:59:05I've failed you as a father.
00:59:09You never sought power.
00:59:10Always kind and virtuous.
00:59:13Yun grew up spoiled,
00:59:14now running completely wild.
00:59:17But he...
00:59:17No need to defend him.
00:59:19I know my children's nature all too well.
00:59:22For years,
00:59:24I've been...
00:59:25blinded by foolishness.
00:59:27Wronging you deeply.
00:59:31Grandfather Emperor,
00:59:33you're finally awake.
00:59:34Daobao was so worried.
00:59:36Good grandson.
00:59:37Come here,
00:59:38let your grandfather hold you.
00:59:42Grandfather,
00:59:42my father hasn't slept
00:59:44these nights caring for you.
00:59:46Mother personally brewed your medicine.
00:59:48Fearing ill-intentioned ones
00:59:50might interfere.
00:59:51Good.
00:59:54Very good.
00:59:56Witnessing such filial devotion,
00:59:58I...
00:59:59has decided.
01:00:01Grandfather Emperor,
01:00:03father nearly forgot
01:00:04something important.
01:00:06What's the matter?
01:00:09Imperial Grandfather,
01:00:10do you recognize this symbol?
01:00:12This is your...
01:00:13The black clad man from that night.
01:00:15Yes, father.
01:00:16When he escaped,
01:00:17I noticed this mark
01:00:18on his left wrist.
01:00:19This is the emblem
01:00:21of the Southern Barbarian Tribe.
01:00:24Recently,
01:00:25they've repeatedly provoked
01:00:27our court,
01:00:28showing signs of rebellion.
01:00:30Their infiltration
01:00:31into the palace
01:00:32must involve
01:00:33inside collaborators.
01:00:35Your majesty believes.
01:00:36only one person
01:00:38has both the capability
01:00:40and ambition
01:00:42for this.
01:00:48Your highness,
01:00:49the Southern envoy
01:00:50requests audience.
01:00:54Handle such trivial matters yourself.
01:00:57No need to report back.
01:00:58The envoy brought
01:01:00carts of gifts
01:01:01and several beauties.
01:01:05Interesting.
01:01:07Let me personally meet
01:01:08this Southern envoy.
01:01:18Greetings, Crown Prince.
01:01:20I've long heard that
01:01:21the Crown Prince

01:01:36he shall not approach
01:01:36Songyang City's borders.

01:01:50Imperial authority.
01:01:58Your majesty is wise.
01:02:00Hurry up.
01:02:01Stop dawdling.
01:02:03What are you glaring at?
01:02:04Keep glaring
01:02:05and I'll gouge
01:02:06those eyes out
01:02:06still acting like
01:02:07the Crown Prince.
01:02:08Hey, move it.
01:02:12I said stop stalling.
01:02:16Qinglin

01:02:23grand celebrations.
01:02:25Father,
01:02:26I shall not fail expectations
01:02:27but before departing
01:02:29I have one request.
01:02:32I understand.
01:02:34For the mother and child, right?
01:02:38We've already arranged.
01:02:40They'll reside in the palace
01:02:41with Consort Chu,
01:02:44your mother,
01:02:44at Feng Yun Palace.
01:02:46for mutual protection.
01:02:49Thank you, Father.
01:02:53My love,
01:02:54be cautious in the palace.
01:02:56Stay vigilant always.
01:02:57King Lin,
01:02:58don't worry for us.
01:03:00The battlefields,
01:03:01swords know no mercy.
01:03:02You must take care.
01:03:04Stay safe.
01:03:05Don't worry.
01:03:06All will be well.
01:03:07Papa,
01:03:08Daobo got you
01:03:09an NTW-20 sniper rifle.
01:03:11Gatling cannons and grenades.
01:03:13Keep them close.
01:03:14Stay beyond the southern tribes'
01:03:16striking range
01:03:17and you'll be safe.
01:03:18Return victorious.
01:03:19Mama and I will be waiting.
01:03:25Understood, little one.
01:03:26Father will definitely
01:03:27return unharmed.
01:03:29Mm-hmm.
01:03:29While father's away,
01:03:30take good care of mother.
01:03:32You and mother
01:03:33must stay safe.
01:03:34Understand?
01:03:35Got it.
01:03:36Mission accepted.
01:03:36Oh, right.
01:03:43Daobo,
01:03:44don't forget
01:03:44the rain prayer ceremony.
01:03:46Oops.
01:03:47How could I forget that?
01:03:53Daobo,
01:03:54what should we do now?
01:03:55It's just the two of us left.
01:03:57Don't worry, Mom.
01:03:58Let me think.
01:04:01Stubborn brain,
01:04:02think faster.
01:04:02Wait, dry ice.
01:04:07Dry ice?
01:04:08Oops.
01:04:09How did I forget this?
01:04:11We still have
01:04:11one day and night left.
01:04:12Plenty of time.
01:04:13Mom,
01:04:14let's go home.
01:04:15I've got an idea.
01:04:16What is it?
01:04:18Ha ha.
01:04:18You'll see soon enough.
01:04:22Sai,
01:04:23Eunuch Yuan,
01:04:24so much has happened
01:04:25in the palace lately.
01:04:27Do you think we
01:04:28have offended the heavens?
01:04:30Your majesty
01:04:30is the divinely chosen
01:04:31son of heaven.
01:04:33Blessed
01:04:33by celestial guardians,
01:04:35you governs
01:04:35with the people's
01:04:36welfare in mind.
01:04:37Prays annually
01:04:38for blessings
01:04:39and commands
01:04:40universal respect.
01:04:42Even the heavens
01:04:43would be touched.
01:04:45Recent
01:04:45poor weather conditions.
01:04:47How could it possibly
01:04:48I'll be
01:04:49his majesty's fault.
01:04:51I grow old.
01:04:53Health declines
01:04:54with time.
01:04:56May your majesty's health
01:04:57shine like the sun,

01:05:49care these past days,
01:05:50I have heard
01:05:51everything.
01:05:52My dear child,
01:05:53had you not acted,
01:05:54I might have departed
01:05:55before physicians
01:05:56arrived.
01:05:58Grandfather,
01:05:58speak not of
01:05:59ill omens.
01:06:01Doe bow
01:06:01will always
01:06:02protect you.
01:06:03Our little
01:06:04Doe bow
01:06:05has grown.
01:06:06This warms
01:06:06my heart.
01:06:07Truly,
01:06:08warms my heart.
01:06:09Shall I make
01:06:10you happier?
01:06:11Oh.

01:06:18Within three days,
01:06:19should rain not come,

01:06:22You claim
01:06:23to possess
01:06:24a method
01:06:24to invoke rain?
01:06:26Yes,
01:06:26good news indeed.
01:06:28But,
01:06:29there's ill tidings
01:06:31too.
01:06:34Grandfather,
01:06:34emperor,
01:06:35please don't
01:06:36worry yet.
01:06:36It's not what
01:06:37you think.
01:06:38Doe bow
01:06:38needs a
01:06:39completely
01:06:40secluded
01:06:40wilderness.
01:06:41Doe bow

01:06:50will sense

01:06:53the situation.

01:08:03saved.
01:08:04Thank goodness we
01:08:05developed drone tech.
01:08:06Otherwise, I wouldn't
01:08:07have known what to
01:08:08do.
01:08:09Now just wait and
01:08:09see.
01:08:14Now we just need to
01:08:15wait for the cloud
01:08:16temperature to drop.
01:08:17The water vapor
01:08:17will condense and
01:08:18fall naturally.
01:08:19Good thing I paid
01:08:20attention in physics
01:08:21class.
01:08:22Never thought it
01:08:23would actually

01:08:25Ha ha ha.
01:08:27Please,
01:08:28kind souls.
01:08:30I beg you,
01:08:31help my child.

01:08:43How can we

01:08:47Your majesty,
01:08:52please rest.
01:08:53Your health
01:08:54is vital.
01:08:55How can I

01:10:10Pray for rain to
01:10:10relieve this drought
01:10:12and prevent famine
01:10:13and disease.
01:10:15I offer my own life

01:10:17to save Song Yang's
01:10:19people from their
01:10:20suffering.

01:10:24Why isn't it working?
01:10:25I have counted down
01:10:26like a million times
01:10:27already.
01:10:28Did I use the wrong
01:10:28method?
01:10:29That shouldn't be.
01:10:30This is exactly how
01:10:31the teacher taught me.
01:10:32The principle is also
01:10:33correct.
01:10:34The steps are correct.
01:10:35The process is right.
01:10:36Why isn't it working
01:10:37then?
01:10:39Oh god.
01:10:40I'm begging you.
01:10:41Make it work.

01:11:02has the nerve
01:11:03to poop right
01:11:04on my face?
01:11:06It's clear.
01:11:07How dare you

01:11:22It's rainwater.
01:11:24Just rainwater.
01:11:29Your majesty.

01:12:02who behold you.
01:12:03I never had the chance
01:12:04to pay my respects
01:12:05until now.
01:12:06Seeing you today,
01:12:07you resemble
01:12:08nothing less than
01:12:09a goddess
01:12:09from a painting.
01:12:11Grace,
01:12:12don't flatter me.
01:12:13I'm past my prime.
01:12:15Those fresh-faced girls
01:12:16outshine me completely.
01:12:19Uh,
01:12:19how could they compare
01:12:20to you?
01:12:21Their charms
01:12:22just layers of powder.
01:12:25Not truth.
01:12:27His majesty
01:12:27recently gifted me
01:12:28rare tonics
01:12:29and herbs.
01:12:30Later,
01:12:30I'll have them

01:12:40That's why

01:12:49Speak of the devil.
01:12:50Here it comes.
01:12:51Let the ladies select
01:12:52what they fancy.
01:12:54Yes.
01:12:54The hour grows late.
01:13:03We've burdened you
01:13:04with our chatter
01:13:05far too long today.
01:13:07Rest well,
01:13:08sister.
01:13:08We take our leave.
01:13:17Ha!
01:13:18Who wants her cast-offs?
01:13:19Does she think us beggars?
01:13:23Exactly.
01:13:24She overestimates
01:13:25her worth.
01:13:27She rides solely
01:13:28on her son's achievements.
01:13:30Remember when
01:13:30she trembled before me,
01:13:32too meek to utter a word?
01:13:34Now see how she
01:13:35struts about.
01:13:37Thinks she's
01:13:37sword to greatness.
01:13:40Let's watch her
01:13:40while when she come
01:13:41crashing down.
01:13:44Her precious prince
01:13:45was sent to the war front.
01:13:47War cares not
01:13:48for noble blood.
01:13:50He'll be lucky
01:13:50to survive.
01:13:51The enemy
01:13:54suffered heavy
01:13:55losses today,
01:13:55but we mustn't
01:13:57let our guard down.
01:13:58Understood.
01:14:00Tell the men
01:14:01to keep their
01:14:01weapons close
01:14:02and stay on standby.
01:14:04Yes,
01:14:04your highness.
01:14:05You should get
01:14:06some rest.
01:14:07You've worked

01:14:08It's my honor

01:14:17My dearest
01:14:21Qinglin,
01:14:22Ruo Lan
01:14:22is doing well.
01:14:29The emperor
01:14:30is in good health.
01:14:31Daobao successfully
01:14:32prayed for rain,
01:14:33praying for your
01:14:34safe return.
01:14:35Wonderful news,
01:14:36your highness.
01:14:37With rain in the capital,
01:14:38the people's harvest
01:14:39will be secured.
01:14:40Indeed.
01:14:42With heaven's favor
01:14:43and our united strength,
01:14:44we've nearly reclaimed
01:14:45all our territories.
01:14:46spread this good news
01:14:47to the troops.
01:14:49Let's push harder
01:14:50to celebrate
01:14:50the new year in peace.
01:14:52Yes,
01:14:52your highness.
01:14:52I'll inform them
01:14:53immediately.
01:14:55That girl's more capable
01:14:56than I expected,
01:14:57just like her father.
01:15:00Don't worry,
01:15:01Doobao.
01:15:01Your father will
01:15:02not disappoint you.
01:15:06Hee hee.
01:15:07She actually called me
01:15:07dearest.
01:15:09Dearest.
01:15:09Ha ha ha.
01:15:10I should write her back.
01:15:16How should I address her?
01:15:19Juo Lan?
01:15:19Hmm, no, no.
01:15:20That's too ordinary.
01:15:21Laner?
01:15:22No, that's not right.
01:15:23Too unoriginal.
01:15:24Dearest?
01:15:25Same as she used,
01:15:26feels insincere.
01:15:27What should I call her then?
01:15:30Ah, I've got it.
01:15:33To my beloved
01:15:35and future wife,
01:15:36madam.
01:15:37Hee.
01:15:39This shouldn't seem presumptuous.
01:15:41When I return victorious,
01:15:42I'll wet her properly,
01:15:43without delay.
01:15:45Have you done
01:15:46your daily standing ritual?
01:15:50Your highness,
01:15:51your servant
01:15:51has completed it.
01:15:52I came to pay my respects.
01:15:54Good.
01:15:55What I demand of you
01:15:56is for your own good.
01:15:59Yes, your highness.
01:16:00Were it not for you,
01:16:02would my Lynn
01:16:02be suffering at the border?
01:16:04It's not true,
01:16:05your highness.
01:16:06Silence.
01:16:07You dare speak
01:16:08out of turn.
01:16:09Would my son
01:16:09abandon his position?
01:16:10His crown prince
01:16:11to endure hardships
01:16:13in that godforsaken wasteland?
01:16:15Stop your weeping.
01:16:17Fears solve nothing.
01:16:18If Lynn returns safely,
01:16:19but should he not,
01:16:20you'll join him in death.
01:16:22Understood.
01:16:22I should be with him.
01:16:24Enough of your pretense.
01:16:26A woman from
01:16:27the brothels like you,
01:16:28I know your schemes.
01:16:30Did you think me blind?
01:16:31You will remain
01:16:32by my side obediently.
01:16:34What I'm making you do
01:16:35will share the burden
01:16:36of Lynn's suffering.
01:16:38If you truly love him,
01:16:39do what I'm saying.
01:16:46Dubow,
01:16:46King Lynn,
01:16:47come eat while it's hot.
01:16:48I've made your favorite.
01:16:49Chicken soup today?
01:16:53Here.
01:16:54Wow.
01:16:55Thank you, Mother.
01:16:56Daobao loves the soup.
01:17:00Ruolan,
01:17:00you've worked hard.
01:17:01Qinglin,
01:17:06return to me safely.
01:17:08I'll be waiting for you.
01:17:11Mom?
01:17:13Where are you going this early?
01:17:15Daobao,
01:17:16it's still early.
01:17:17Go back to sleep for a while.
01:17:18Mom's going to pay respects
01:17:19to Granny Shu.
01:17:21Who pays respects
01:17:22this early in the morning?
01:17:24Mom woke up early
01:17:25and can't sleep anymore.
01:17:26I just want to take a walk.
01:17:27Mom,
01:17:28I'll go with you.
01:17:29It's all right,
01:17:31Daobao.
01:17:32Mom will be back soon.
01:17:33It's too early now.
01:17:34You'll be exhausted
01:17:35if you get up.
01:17:36Go back to sleep.
01:17:38But won't you be exhausted,
01:17:39Mom?
01:17:42Mom,
01:17:42tell me the truth.
01:17:43Is Granny Shu
01:17:44bullying you?
01:17:47Just wait here,
01:17:48Mom.
01:17:49I'll go teach her a lesson.
01:17:51Dubao.
01:17:54Granny Shu,
01:17:55I'm here to pay my respects.
01:17:56Keep your voice down.
01:17:59Her ladyship is still asleep.
01:18:01Still sleeping?
01:18:02I walked all this way
01:18:03to pay my respects properly.
01:18:04Who sent you here?
01:18:05As a junior,
01:18:06it's my duty to show respect.
01:18:08Isn't that proper?
01:18:09Who would need to order me?
01:18:12Bring your mother here.
01:18:13You should leave.
01:18:14No.
01:18:14I demand to see Granny Shu.
01:18:17You little rascal.
01:18:18Guard.
01:18:19Someone,
01:18:20catch this troublemaker.
01:18:21Open this door.
01:18:22I'm Dubao.
01:18:23Wait.
01:18:23I'm...
01:18:24I'd like to see who dares.
01:18:28Eunuch Yuan is here.
01:18:30Eunuch Yuan,
01:18:31you've arrived.
01:18:32Has Dubao been mistreated?
01:18:34Eunuch Yuan,
01:18:35Dubao merely came to pay respects
01:18:37to Lady Shu.
01:18:38I don't know why.
01:18:39This maid obstructed me.
01:18:40I came today
01:18:41to greet Lady Shu.
01:18:43Never expected
01:18:44to encounter
01:18:45such insolence.
01:18:46Enough.
01:18:4750 slaps
01:18:48as a punishment.
01:18:50Have mercy, Eunuch.
01:18:51I'll never dare again.
01:18:52You do it now.
01:18:54I shall pretend
01:18:55this never happened.
01:18:57Should this reach
01:18:58his majesty?
01:18:59I fear.
01:19:00No.
01:19:01I'll hit.
01:19:02I'll hit.
01:19:031,
01:19:032,
01:19:043,
01:19:054.
01:19:05Since her highness
01:19:06still rests,
01:19:07let her continue sleeping.
01:19:10Princess Dubao,
01:19:12let us return.
01:19:14Your highness,
01:19:21they were utterly unreasonable,
01:19:23backed by Eunuch Yuan.
01:19:24I'm but a weak servant.
01:19:26I just couldn't take them
01:19:27all on by myself.
01:19:29You've suffered unjustly,
01:19:31bearing this burden for me.
01:19:33No suffering at all,
01:19:34but indignation for your highness.
01:19:36Sigh.
01:19:36There's nothing I can do right now,
01:19:38but this grievance
01:19:40I shall remember.
01:19:41Justice will come for you.
01:19:43The tea gathering
01:19:45is in three days.
01:19:46Notify
01:19:47my dear daughter-in-law
01:19:48to make preparations.
01:19:50Let her showcase herself
01:19:52before all.
01:19:54Hmm.
01:19:54Yes.
01:19:55Your highness,
01:19:56I'll go immediately.
01:19:57Today marks the annual
01:20:01Imperial Tea Gathering.
01:20:04Last year,
01:20:04the Imperial Consorts
01:20:05delighted us
01:20:06with their talents.
01:20:08We still recall
01:20:08Consort Shoe's
01:20:09exceptional tea ceremony.
01:20:11This year,
01:20:12what novelties
01:20:13they shall present.
01:20:14Your majesty flatters me.
01:20:16I merely have
01:20:17slight advantages
01:20:18over the other consorts.
01:20:19To earn your majesty's favor
01:20:21is my greatest honor.
01:20:22No need for modesty,
01:20:25beloved.
01:20:26Your majesty,
01:20:27I heard from Lin.
01:20:28Ruolan excels
01:20:29in tea art as well.
01:20:31Shall we anticipate
01:20:32whether she can
01:20:33brew a remarkable tea?
01:20:35If Ruolan
01:20:36possesses such skill,
01:20:38I shall await
01:20:38with anticipation.
01:20:39Mother,
01:20:53this tea gathering
01:20:55is surely
01:20:55Consort Shoe's
01:20:56scheme to trap you.
01:20:58You must prepare early.
01:21:00But I only know
01:21:01basic tea techniques.
01:21:03If forced to compete,
01:21:04I'd be utterly humiliated.
01:21:06Don't worry, Mother.
01:21:07Daobao will find
01:21:08a solution.
01:21:09That old witch
01:21:11is cunning,
01:21:11even banning children,
01:21:13targeting me specifically.
01:21:15What item could
01:21:16both impress the court
01:21:17and silence those women?
01:21:19Ah, I've got it.
01:21:21Mother,
01:21:21I know what you must do
01:21:22at the gathering.
01:21:27Why hasn't Ruolan
01:21:28made her move yet?
01:21:30Could it be
01:21:30she's afraid
01:21:31to embarrass herself?
01:21:33Ruolan is young
01:21:34and inexperienced
01:21:35with grand occasions
01:21:36like this.
01:21:37Perhaps she's
01:21:38simply nervous.
01:21:39Dear sisters,
01:21:40please don't
01:21:41take offense.
01:21:43Ruolan,
01:21:44it's all right.
01:21:45No one here
01:21:45will laugh at you.
01:21:49Don't worry,
01:21:50Your Highness.
01:21:50This concubine
01:21:51is ready.
01:22:03What technique is this?
01:22:04I've never witnessed
01:22:05such skill.
01:22:16It's complete,
01:22:17may Your Majesty
01:22:18and the noble consorts
01:22:19have a taste.
01:22:20Flavor is exquisitely sweet.
01:22:36Superb tea.
01:22:44Superb tea.
01:22:45What manner of tea
01:22:49is this?
01:22:50I've never tasted
01:22:51anything like it.
01:22:54Your Majesty,
01:22:55this is milk tea.
01:22:57The variety
01:22:57I've prepared today
01:22:58is called
01:22:59Bo Ya Jue Shuan.
01:23:00Good.
01:23:00Even the name
01:23:01carries refinement.
01:23:03My faith in you
01:23:04was well placed.
01:23:05Lynn's judgment
01:23:06proves true.
01:23:08Beloved consort,
01:23:09now you possess
01:23:11two tea masters
01:23:12in your service.
01:23:14This truly
01:23:15stirs my envy.
01:23:18Such remarkable
01:23:18skill she possesses.
01:23:20This surpasses
01:23:21courtesan arts.
01:23:22Could it be?
01:23:23I've misjudged
01:23:24her all along.
01:23:25Your Majesty
01:23:26flatters me.
01:23:27All credit goes
01:23:27to Her Highness's
01:23:29guidance.
01:23:29Ruolan merely
01:23:30follows her teachings,
01:23:31now revealed to all.
01:23:34Thankfully,
01:23:36she maintains
01:23:36such propriety,
01:23:37neither grasping
01:23:38nor ambitious.
01:23:39She doesn't resent
01:23:41my past harsh
01:23:42treatment.
01:23:43Instead,
01:23:43she praises me
01:23:44before the Emperor.
01:23:46Lynn's discernment
01:23:47was indeed accurate.
01:23:49My prejudice
01:23:49blinded me.
01:23:53Ruolan
01:23:54Please rise.
01:23:59No need for formalities.
01:24:01I was wrong
01:24:02about you before.
01:24:03I heard you
01:24:04were a courtesan,
01:24:05thus held prejudice
01:24:06and wronged you
01:24:07repeatedly.
01:24:08Now I see
01:24:09my own folly.
01:24:11Your Highness,
01:24:12don't say that.
01:24:12You humble me
01:24:13too much.
01:24:14The fault
01:24:15is entirely mine.
01:24:16I should have
01:24:17trusted Lynn's
01:24:18judgment.
01:24:18He was right.
01:24:19He's always been
01:24:20steadfast.
01:24:21Never would he
01:24:22entertain such a
01:24:23woman lightly.
01:24:24From this day
01:24:25forth,
01:24:25none shall dare
01:24:26mistreat you.
01:24:27This palace
01:24:28stands with you.
01:24:29unhand my mother.
01:24:32Father vowed
01:24:33before departing,
01:24:34protect my mother
01:24:35at all costs.
01:24:36Who dares challenge
01:24:37this?
01:24:40Oh,
01:24:41the defection
01:24:42succeeded.
01:24:47Your Highness,
01:24:49Princess,
01:24:50our Lord
01:24:51has returned.
01:24:52Father's home.
01:24:55Qinglin's back.
01:24:56Lynn has returned.
01:24:57Indeed.
01:24:57Where's Father?
01:24:58Take us to him.
01:24:59No need to rush.
01:25:01His Highness
01:25:01is unharmed.
01:25:03Not a single
01:25:03scratch on him.
01:25:04You may rest easy.
01:25:06Ah,
01:25:06praise heaven.
01:25:07Now we can
01:25:08finally breathe.
01:25:09Nice.
01:25:10At last we'll share
01:25:10a family feast
01:25:11with Father.
01:25:12A light firework
01:25:14to celebrate
01:25:14his return.
