Child,

I want you to personally tell me.

What's your name?

My name is...

Huo...

Wu...

Shang.

Huo Wushang.

Huo Wushang.

Brother Huo,

I'm sorry that

I'm late.

Child...

You have suffered. You have suffered.

Your Majesty,

I know my crime can't be pardoned...

but I took revenge alone.

My crime...

has nothing to do with my beloved one.

You did this alone.

What about me then?

What about those who care about you?

I only seek death.

I only request that...

I can reunite with my parents.

Your Majesty, General Huo is right.

Your Majesty should issue the decree immediately to execute him without any doubts according to state law.

Shut up, you damn creature.

If you keep talking, I will execute you first.

As the Vice Censor, I report to Heaven and Earth,

admonish the monarch and the officials, and supervise national affairs as ruled by the law.

Your Majesty, even if you execute me,

I will still petition Your Majesty to punish General Huo.

b*stard!

- Your Majesty.
- Acting recklessly.

Your Majesty, calm down.

Calm down, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, do you think you are still a weak youngster?

We are not in the countryside. This is the Imperial Court.

How could you use violence in Chongde Hall?

Angry. I'm furious.

This bunch of Imperial Censors, it's not the first time

they use the excuse of supervising national affairs to seek revenge.

They even said it's just, honorable, and righteous.

Your Majesty,

you are the monarch of a country. Pay attention to the etiquette of the Imperial Court

when advising the officials.

What Consort Yue said makes sense.

Although I'm a woman, I read the Book of Rites, too.

I've heard, "I shall not live with my father's m*rder*r under the same sky."

It's not unforgivable for General Huo to avenge his father.

It is actually pardonable.

Your Majesty, our dynasty has always paid attention to filial piety.

If you execute General Huo, it will let down

all the hearts of filial children in the country.

A'Heng is right.

The enemy who k*lled the father can't live under the same sky.

A'Zheng k*lling that beast is enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven.

Consort Yue, this is the Great Hall.

Is it appropriate for a woman to interfere with national affairs?

You...

When I followed His Majesty in battles,

Lord Zuo had yet to join the Imperial Court as an official.

You can't refute what I say, so you criticize me as a woman.

As a man, you are really impressive.

In any case, I still refuse to comply.

I will cleanse the court for—

I meant to maintain respect for the Censorate,

but you have to hold up your nose and get arrogant?

Now that Ling Yi is dead,

Ling Buyi can frame him at will.

He says Ling Yi colluded with the enemy. Is there any other evidence?

There is!

Your Majesty, Ling Yi's wife, Madam Chunyu, had a statue of Goddess Nüwa made from their earthen kiln at home.

She gave this statue to Princess Consort Ruyang.

Inside, I found the letters between Deputy General Peng Kun and Ling Yi.

There was also evidence of their secret plot to cooperate with Emperor Li to block the reinforcements

and occupy the lone city.

[Brother Kun... from Ling Yi]

Look. Take a good look.

Your Majesty, Ling Yi colluded with Peng Kun to betray our country

resulting in the fall and m*ssacre of the lone city. This crime is unpardonable.

I implore Your Majesty to mete out severe punishments to uphold the law.

Your Majesty, even if Ling Yi deserved to die,

however, General Huo stole the Tiger Tally from Eastern Palace and privately deployed the army

and shook up the six main camps. This is also a high crime for which he should also be punished.

The one who should also be punished is you, Lord Zuo.

Guards,

remove his official robe and drag him away!

Third Prince, what are you...

Reporting to Imperial Father, when I went to rescue Zisheng the day before yesterday,

I noticed General Zuo attempting to cut the rope to k*ll Zisheng.

I thought that incident was strange,

so I harshly questioned him. He confessed to everything.

It turns out that the Zuo family has been bribed by Emperor Li's remnants

and they were determined to k*ll Zisheng.

They thought, as long as our imperial court loses Ling Buyi, a god of w*r,

then they could rise in rebellion to regain the empire.

Your Majesty,

I'm innocent. I don't know anyone from the so-called Emperor Li's remnants.

You don't know? How can you not know?

There were 10,000 guans of coins hidden in the Zuo manor from the Tian Family's Restaurant.
[One guan is equivalent to a string of 1,000 coins]

Lord Zuo, your salary doesn't amount to that much, does it?

Imperial Father,

Tian Shuo was originally Emperor Li's servant and was totally devoted to him.

He hid his identity after Emperor Li died in defeat.

On the surface, he is a widely-traveled merchant, but in reality, he has been waiting for the right opportunity.

All these years, under the cover of Tian Family's Restaurant,

he has made contact with many officials in the court.

Both Prince Yong and Young Marquis Yue had secret dealings with him.

I suspect that they were instigated by Tian Shuo

to commit wrongs that harm the country and the people.

Tian Shuo only said that he had grudges against Huo Buyi and wanted him dead.

But I didn't know Tian Shuo was Emperor Li's servant.

I'm innocent, Your Majesty.

You're still making excuses?

Your Majesty,

we implore Your Majesty to convict Censor Zuo.

We implore Your Majesty to convict Censor Zuo.

- Guards.
- Present.

Drag him out.

Interrogate him harshly, dead or alive.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, I'm innocent!

Your Majesty, I'm innocent!

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty, may I ask? Where is Tian Shuo now?

Imperial Father, I knew that they had many eyes and ears [spies], so I haven't had the chance to report.

But I've ordered the confiscation of Tian Family's Restaurant. Unfortunately, I was a step behind.

By the time I rushed there,

it was all empty inside the Tian Family's Restaurant.

However, I've already found evidence of Tian Shuo's plot to rebel throughout the years.

It's too bad that he has escaped.

Ling Yi colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country.

You k*lled him. He deserved what he got.

But you tampered with the crown prince's Tiger Tally and mobilized the camps,

causing the officials to impeach the heir to the throne. His reputation is ruined.

What exactly... was your intent?

Imperial Father, Zisheng had no other choice.

He used Imperial Brother's Tiger Tally in a hurry.

In a hurry?

Do you think I'm an idiot? I already asked Crown Prince.

His Tiger Tally was a fake.

Last time, when General Wan went to suppress the bandits, the crown prince's Tiger Tally was stolen by Young Marquis Yue.

Zisheng knew but did not report. He hid the Tiger Tally after he retrieved it, leading to today's trouble.

You... have you two already...?

That's right.

I believe...

Imperial Brother should not be the crown prince in the first place.

He cannot take on the responsibility of this country.

An unfilial son speaking gibberish!

He cannot take on the responsibility of the country, but you can?

Regardless of how bad your imperial brother is, at least he is more benevolent than you.

It doesn't matter if the monarch is benevolent or harsh,

he only needs to do things based on reasoning. Imperial Brother did not reward and punish when he should.

Thus, the matter of Lou Ben and Tongniu County arose.

Imperial Father, do you think such benevolence is a good thing?

Shut up! You evil creature!

Your character is narrow-minded.

What right do you have to criticize your benevolent imperial brother?

Zisheng,

do you also think that Crown Prince must be deposed?

Your Majesty,

I've only been by Crown Prince's side for a short few months.

I can already lead everything in the Eastern Palace.

The advisers, tax reports, and secret reports.

I also have control of all official sealing of decrees.

When Crown Prince is enthroned in the future,

if I wanted to,

I could immediately rule the country

and monopolize power.

Your Majesty, do you want to see this happen?

Since you say it like this, why do you want to give up

the opportunity to rule the country and monopolize power?

I'm loyal.

I'd never thought of replacing him.

But I‘m willing to take on the reputation

of being ungrateful, for the country's stability.

I believe Crown Prince...

cannot take on this big responsibility.

Well said.

Shen'an.

Everything that Zisheng said is well-reasoned.

Your Majesty inappropriately established the heir to the throne.

Crown Prince is mediocre and incompetent.

Third Prince has big ambitions. You have a blood feud.

And I'm a mother who spoiled her child.

But let me ask you.

What does this matter have to do with Shaoshang?

Why did you want to drag her into this?

Are you also doing it for the sake of the country?

Just now you said everything logically.

Abandoning love for the benefit of the people.

Then I ask you again.

That day you went to Marquis Chengyang’s manor alone,

did you already decide to abandon Shaoshang?

Yes.

What you said are true words?

You really won't...

regret this?

I will not regret it.

Zisheng.

Shaoshang.

Shaoshang.

I already told you...

all my feelings clearly.

I dare not ask for your forgiveness.

But I believe you. I believe you'll understand me.

I understand.

I understand that you don't want to implicate the Cheng family.

You don't want to implicate me.

I also understand that you couldn't give up the opportunity for revenge.

I understand all of it.

But have you ever...

really understood me?

Your Majesty. Empress.

I was born lowly. I have little ability and insight

and stubborn temperament.

I can't be a good match for General Huo.

Your Majesty. Empress. Please make the decision for me...

to cancel this marriage.

Shaoshang.

Listen to me.

Listen to me this time.

I haven't had good luck since young.

I never believed that there would be someone who would treat me genuinely.

Until I met you.

You made me like you. I liked you.

You made me rely on you.

I relied on you.

You made me believe you.

I believed you.

But what about you?

I said before.

If you dare to abandon me,

I will never forgive you in this life.

Since you are that heartless,

I also will do what I said.

I ask General Huo

to remember the old affection

and let me go.

Shaoshang, are you going home?

What did Ling Buyi say to you?

He used the Tiger Tally to deploy the troops.

This will involve Crown Prince and even Empress.

I'm afraid His Majesty will depose Crown Prince and Empress because of this.

You don't want to take a look?

You worry too much.

If the empress were to be truly deposed,

it's because Empress doesn't want to continue living in Changqiu Palace herself.

The Crown Prince and Empress positions

have been like two swords

hanging overhead for decades.

She's also tired.

What?

I'm also tired. I don't want to stay in this palace either.

Shaoshang.

Shen'an, what are you doing?

Crown Prince is cowardly and incompetent. He cannot be the crown prince.

And all these

are because I, his mother, did not educate him well.

I ask Your Majesty

to depose Crown Prince, and also

depose me together.

Shen'an,

must you force me?

All my life, I followed the flow that others pushed me towards.

I clearly know that some things should not go certain ways.

But I still let it be.

I knew that Your Majesty was married then.

But my uncle wanted me to marry you.

I still married you.

Later, you wanted to make me the empress.

Even though I knew by being an empress I would face many adversities,

I still accepted to be the empress.

So you regret it now?

Not just me,

doesn't Your Majesty ever regret it?

The crown prince's temperament is more similar to my father's.

He should be like him.

Building a house with a garden in the mountains,

writing books, and being known for his ideals.

But he became the crown prince.

It is like sitting on top of sharp swords.

Every day, he couldn't rest well or eat in peace.

If he really doesn't want to be the crown prince,

I can make other arrangements.

But. Shen'an, why bother requesting yourself to be deposed as the empress?

Yue Heng is not an empress now.

It is hard for people to accept Third Prince as the crown prince.

So, I earnestly request Your Majesty to

depose me for the sake of the country.

After Yue Heng becomes the empress, Third Prince can reasonably

move into the Eastern Palace.

Shen'an, I won't agree to this.

I am an incapable mother.

I didn't teach my children well.

If Your Majesty needs to depose someone, you need to charge someone with a crime.

Instead of the crown prince being charged,

let me, as his mother, do this last thing for him.

As long as I am deposed, the crown prince

won't be picked on by the court officials.

He can be deposed as a prince smoothly.

I earnestly ask Your Majesty to grant me this request.

But compared to the crown prince, Shen'an, as the empress, you have even fewer faults.

How can I depose you?

You can say that I hold grudges like Empresses Lu and Huo.
[Empresses who were well-known for being jealous and cruel]

Nonsense.

I have never seen anyone as magnanimous as you.

I didn't speak nonsense.

All these years,

every time I saw you laughing and joking with Yue Heng,

I felt like insects were biting my heart.

I was jealous and holding grudges all the time.

I've had enough.

Every day I am an empress, I suffer through it one more day.

Unlike plants, I have feelings.

I also want to have a beloved husband who will cherish me.

Seeing that Your Majesty and Yue Heng are in conjugal harmony.

I can only be dignified and generous.

But, Shen'an,

towards you, I...

If Your Majesty still has any feelings for our relationship,

please don't tie me to the position of the empress

and t*rture me.

I wish to be just Xuan Shen'an for once,

instead of Empress Xuan.

Please grant me my request, Your Majesty.

Have me be confined in Changqiu Palace.

Niao Niao doesn't look right.

For the past few days, the entire Ling clan has been arrested.

Ling Yi's three brothers were ex*cuted.

The empress asked to be deposed.

The crown prince was deposed to become Prince Donghai.

She can still read a book calmly?

Isn't that really strange?

It looks fine to me. She neither cries nor makes any trouble.

What is good about that?

That Huo Buyi asked to be demoted to guard the northwest border for seven years.

Is he trying to atone for his mistakes?

- Huo Buyi?
- Him exactly.

He said he will live for Ling Buyi.

So he is still using the name Buyi.

Father. Brothers.

Huo Buyi is leaving the capital today for the northwest.

He sent Liang Qiuqi to give you a message.

He said he wants to see you.

Why do you mention Huo Buyi?

How old are you two now?

You have to learn to be more mature. Think it through before opening your mouth to talk.

Look at Niao Niao. She's so mature now.

Niao Niao, are you fine?

Older Brother, I'll have to trouble you to see General Huo off on my behalf.

From now on, the mountains are high and rivers are long.

We will probably never see each other again.

Older Brother, see him off on my behalf

and cut off all our previous ties.

Niao Niao, where are you going?

Let me take you.

I'm just taking a walk around.

Don't worry.

Madam, Young Miss has completely transformed now.

She's a totally different person than the one we saw when we first came home.

She has really grown up now.

In the past, I always hoped that she'd become more and more mature.

But now, she's so composed.

It's like she changed into a different person.

When I think back now, her overbearing and

exuberant ways

actually put my mind at ease.

Qing Cong,

was I wrong from the beginning?

Children grow up after all.

As a mother, who is not sending them off afar?

After all, we cannot accompany them for the rest of their lives.

They have to walk their own paths by themselves sooner or later.

[Luoyang]

Young Lord, should we leave now?

Young Lord, we have waited for six hours.

I don't think Miss Cheng is coming.

[Marquis Quling's Manor]

Stop right there.

Niao Niao, where are you going?

I'm going to Changqiu Palace to see the empress.

Since Empress Xuan was deposed, she personally asked to confine herself in Changqiu Palace.

Now Changqiu Palace's servants can only enter and not exit, as if it's the cold palace.
[Where a wife or concubine is confined after a fall from favor]

Why would you go there?

The more it is like this,

the more I should be by empress's side.

In the past, when Father and Mother received military orders and rushed to the lone city,

didn't you also leave me at home in the same manner?

From time immemorial, there's only loyalty or filial piety, but not both.

Today, Niao Niao...

understands.

Mother, please let me go to Changqiu Palace to uphold my loyalty.

Take your leave first.

Yes.

Shaogong. Shaoshang has–

Old General Huo's loyalty and bravery were venerable. It was a rare sight to behold. Our Cheng family all admired him.

That day, regarding the matter of saving you, thanks to His Majesty's benevolence and mercy,

he granted us no punishment. So you have no need to keep that on your mind.

But each matter stands on its own.

You two are not fated. General Huo, please stop insisting on it.

Shaoshang...

Has she left any other messages?

You said that someone must be by the empress's side.

But all these years, Eldest Aunt's health has always been poor.

Even more so, she needs someone by her side. If you insist on leaving,

then I will take care of Eldest Aunt.

And remain unmarried for the rest of my life.

Mother always says I'm stubborn and unyielding.

Sister Yang Yang, are you not also the same?

Niao Niao,

listen to me. You will certainly find a husband who will cherish you.

Do not act out of anger and cause this to hold up the rest of your life.

Shaoshang.

Has she left any other messages?

She said, "We won't meet again."
[Lit. to postpone meeting indefinitely]

Who said a woman must find a husband in her lifetime?

If I decide to seek one, then I will.

If I don't, there's no harm done.

Cousin,

take care.

Mother,

take care.

If she's been betrayed,

she will never forgive.

I knew long ago that she was that type of person.

Set off.

Now Changqiu Palace's servants can only enter and not exit, as if it's the cold palace.

- Why would you go?
- The more it is like this,

the more I should stay by Empress's side. From time immemorial, there's only loyalty or filial piety, but not both.

Mother, please let me go to Changqiu Palace to uphold my loyalty.

She's never coming back.

She's planning on leaving herself in that cold palace forever.

Hurry!

Hurry and prepare a carriage! Hurry!
