=Episode 40=
(Zhaixing Pavilion, Yueluo)
We're back here.
Your Majesty,
does nostalgia get to you?
Chun,
Liang State has won the war again.
You may rest in peace.
Prince Qi can see Liang State's victory
of today,
but the people
don't know the truth of the past.
You all ask me for the truth,
and for justice.
You even think I killed Prince Qi.
You think I killed my own brother
in order to take over the throne.
But Prince Qi
is my own brother.
(20 years ago)
Big Brother, you're here.
I haven't practiced for a long time
and I'm getting bad at it.
Big Brother.
When you were first learning to write,
I was the one
who prepared the ink for you.
(Human nature is good
as water flows downhill)
Nice handwriting.
You taught me to write the first word
I ever wrote.
Chun,
why did you run away?
Do you really think
I'd kill you?
When I was young,
I was too weak
for strong winds.
I envied you for being able
to follow Father
on the battlefield
and protect our country.
You knew what I was thinking,
(so you hunted a tiger yourself)
(to make a tiger-skin coat)
(for me to wear)
(and took me on a gallop.)
(It was my first time on horseback.)
I've always
been grateful to you in my heart.
But you still caught the cold.
Father scolded me for being ambitious
and said I
deliberately harmed you.
I know.
Father has always been harsh on you,
but in my heart,
you're always my big brother.
Water
can also flow upwards,
over a man's forehead,
or it can be made
to flow over a hill.
It is the nature of water
to flow downhill,
and it is the nature
of the human heart
to get ambitious.
Today, you and I are brothers
and we can talk about brotherhood.
In the future,
when you and I
are a ruler and a subject,
there will be superiority
and inferiority.
It seems you and I
will never have the chance
to ride side by side again.
There are many things that
could go side by side in this world,
but there is only
one throne.
Big Brother,
if only you and I were born
into an ordinary family.
We would have been the closest brothers
in the world.
We'd work in the daytime,
go to bed at night,
take care of our parents,
and get along with each other.
You're a simple man
like pure water
who aspires to be a commoner.
But it's a world where everyone
can't get what they want.
I've suffered enough.
I don't want to suffer anymore.
Chun,
if you want to blame someone,
just blame Father.
He refused to pass the throne to me.
This is no longer
a fight between you and me.
If Liang State is to be stable,
the imperial court
must first be stabilized.
We can't have any more party cliques.
Only one man in a position of power
can settle the disputes.
It's a pity
I can never see the starry sky
and bright moon
with you again.
It all started with us,
and it will end with us.
I'd die to put an end to all this.
I hope that Your Majesty
will protect the people,
compassionate the people,
rid the world of injustice,
and return justice to the people.
Your Majesty will be a wise ruler
with benevolence and virtue.
I will be happy for you
in the afterlife.
I
will grant you your wish.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Big Brother,
after this parting,
may we be ordinary brothers
in the next life,
close to each other,
and no more disputes.
I didn't kill him.
What's the difference
between that and killing him?
You drove him to his death
and put all the blame
on Xiao Haitian
and Yueluo.
If I wanted to build a strong kingdom,
and protect the people,
I'd have to give up my personal desires,
some people,
including my own brother.
Winner makes the rules,
and losers live by them.
It's been that way since ancient times.
It's just a whitewash
for your dirty ambitions.
You misrepresent facts
and distort the truth.
You made Xiao Haitian a scorned man
in life and in death.
you enslaved
Yueluo for 20 years
and made them suffer
all sorts of humiliations.
I'll ask you again,
who are you talking to me as?
I know
your name is Xiao Wuxia,
the son of Xiao Haitian.
Xiao Haitian
had aided Prince Qi
to intervene in Liang State's affair
and it's impossible for him
to get out of the situation.
Even if he was dragged into the game.
But who in this game
wasn't forced by fate?
He's a scourge of Liang State.
He must die.
What about Consort Wei?
Why did you kill her?
Consort Wei was the woman I loved.
She shouldn't have met Yan Shuangqiao,
and she shouldn't have said that to me.
There's an assassin!
Let go of Consort Wei!
Stop there.
I'll kill anyone
who takes a step forward!
Your Majesty,
did you really kill Prince Qi?
You killed Consort Wei
because she knew her husband
was the one
who caused the destruction
of her family?
And you even killed the child
in her womb!
Ci, you've woken up.
Is Wei Zhao back?
Not yet.
I wonder what's going on.
A lot of people are heading
towards Zhaixing Pavilion.
Zhaixing Pavilion?
Mr. Cui,
get Ms. Jiang out of here.
Wei Zhao is really good
at hiding women in his house.
I'm having a hard time
finding Princess Yong'an.
Eunuch Jiang, you've got a good nose
for a dog, don't you?
You mean girl,
I'll make sure you'll all die
in pieces today.
Miss, get out of here!
You must be careful!
This way.
Ci.
Your Lordship.
Where is Wei Zhao?
His Majesty has threatened Sanlang
with the civilians,
so that he has to keep his mouth shut.
Sanlang did everything he could
for Yueluo.
What about his father's grievance?
He'll probably never be able
to reveal it.
Where is he now?
They're now at Zhaixing Pavilion
to worship Prince Qi.
Something is wrong.
I smelled sulphur on Jiang Yuan.
There's an ambush at Zhaixing Pavilion.
Probably gunpowder.
I'm going to tell Wei Zhao.
I'll go with you.
Tong Min
you and Ziming
We're going to call the others
for help right now.
You must be careful.
Let's go.
You keep saying
it's God's will,
no one has a choice.
But Prince Qi chose
to sacrifice for the people,
and my father chose
to sacrifice for justice.
You've never chosen anything
but your own selfish desires.
I've been working hard
to govern the country for 20 years.
In the past 20 years,
Liang State has been blessed
with abundant goods
and good weather,
and the people have lived
and worked in peace.
I've been protecting the people
and being compassionate.
I've got a clear conscience.
What will you do if the people ask
about Prince Qi's case?
You'd avoid them, deceive them
or even kill them.
If you truly care about the people,
you should know
that all they want is a place of peace.
They don't want to be separated,
and they don't want to be trampled on.
But for your ambition,
you've enslaved the poor and the weak
and wronged the innocent.
But now, I am the ruler of Liang State.
Winner makes the rules,
and losers live by them.
I have the final say
in all of this.
Sanlang,
you still don't know that winner
makes the rules and losers live by them.
I've planted
gunpowder underneath.
Everything in the past
will go up in smoke.
You won't be able to escape.
Are you trying
to accuse Yueluo falsely again?
The people of Yueluo are unrepentant.
They planted gunpowder
and tried to kill me.
Wei Zhao, Commander of Light Bureau
died protecting me.
Don't worry, Sanlang.
I'll save you a good reputation.
He's too poisoned to fight.
Attack!
Protecting the Emperor!
Sanlang.
Twenty years ago,
you made up a story
to bring my father and Yueluo to shame.
Today's story
is mine to tell.
The Emperor of Liang State
died at the hands of a sycophant,
Wei Zhao,
and no one else.
Wei Zhao!
Wei Zhao!
Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao.
I'm here.
Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao, wait for me.
I'll get you out.
It's all over now.
No one can hurt you anymore.
From now on, you'll be free
to see all the beautiful scenery
and taste all the delicious food
in the world.
Okay.
I'll wait for you.
I'll wait for you to take me with you.
Hang in there.
Wait for me.
I've lost all my family
and left my home.
If it wasn't for you,
my life would have been
filled with hatred.
Now,
I have no regrets
as I have returned to my homeland.
You promised me.
You promised to go with me
to see the world.
Don't you dare lie to me.
I've got a present for you
at the old residence.
In the future,
wherever you go,
Yueluo is your home.
And I'll be watching over you
in Yueluo.
I'll wait for you to take me with you.
Hang in there.
I'll get you out of here in a minute.
Pei Yan.
Sanlang.
Take care of Jiang Ci.
I'm counting on you
for Yueluo.

I'm going to build a cabin.
And I'm going

There were Chinese roses
and azaleas.
Every summer,
the house smelled so good,
and it sometimes attracted bees.
In the corner,
there's a pot of Weinmann's Pistachio.
Master always kicked it by accident.
She also scolded me
for putting too many plants in the house
Did you make the wind chimes yourself?
I strung it up with shells I found.
(and put it next to the pillar.)

Your Lordship.
Ci,
don't stand on ceremony with me.
Your Lordship,
I have a favor to ask of you.
I know even if you don't say it.
I promised Sanlang
I'd watch over Yueluo
from now on.
Thank you, Your Lordship.
This is what I should do.
What about you?
What are your plans for the future?
Ci,
just go back to Qingkang.
It's all over.
No one will ever hurt you again.
If you want to save lives,
I'll open a medical center for you.
You can still do what you want.
Standing on the peak
and looking over all the people.
How can we not be lonely
in the vast expanse of heaven and earth?
Your Lordship,
the peace of the world
lies in your hands.
Summon Chancellor for an audience.
Pei Yan
is here to greet Your Majesty.
I ask Your Majesty to issue a decree
to clear Yueluo's reputation,
abolish forced labor,
abolish slavery,
promote Confucianism,
and extend compassion to the people
so that the government
will be safe from corruption
and everyone will be united.
Approved.
(Lord of Jianding's Residence)
Now, everything
has been put to an end.
I finally have a chance
to travel around the world.
Your Lordship,
I want to be myself again.
Sanlang's gone,
and so is Ci.
An Cheng was sacrificed
because of my mistake.
Now, I can't
keep Ziming either.
Your Lordship,
Peace has just been restored
to the world.
Agriculture should be emphasized
and taxes should be reduced.
Keeping honest officials on duty
to listen to the people's voices
Nothing but kindness,
nothing but virtue.
Although Yueluo's injustice
has been resolved,
the promise between you
and Wei Zhao has not yet been fulfilled.
Please remember
your promise to Wei Zhao
in order to comfort his soul.
I believe
that you will become
a good chancellor
with your benevolent governance.
Go and buy a scented pouch.

Leave a good reputation behind
when you pass away,
just as geese passing
through the sky leave a loud cry.
But you
didn't leave any traces.
Le has gone off on his travels.
He said
he'd come back to see you
when he could protect Yueluo
like you.
You've had
a tough life.
Now, we have our grievances redressed.
You must rest in peace.
Thank you
for bringing Yu Lian back to me.
To outsiders, you're a sycophant,
the son of a sinner,
and no one even knows
who you really are.
But Wuxia of Yueluo
will always be in our hearts.
Every flower, branch,
grass and tree in Yueluo
survives because of you.
The people of Yueluo
will always remember
everything you did for them.
They will remember their benefactor,
Xiao Wuxia.
I've been with you in Yueluo
for so many years
that I've developed feelings
for this place.
I've decided to stay.
I won't leave.
Will you feel more at ease?
Young Master.
I've been with you for years.
I wished you'd take off your mask
and I wanted to see you get married
and have kids and grandchildren.
I can't see that anymore.
I can't see that anymore.

Mother, have a candy.
Good boy, Yao.
Mother,

We're almost there.
It's up ahead.
I want to have Bitterless Congee.
Okay.
I'll cook it for you when we get home.
Mother,
will we be leaving again
after we get home?
Of course, we will.
There are so many patients
waiting for me to treat them.
Is Father home?
Yao, come in.
We're home.
Your father's been waiting
for us at home.
