That's right.

I am a prince of the former dynasty.

This is the longevity lock
passed down during the former reign.

It is enough to prove my identity.

Pei Shenzhi,

release Your Majesty.

Pei Shenzhi,

you can't get away with it.

Release His Majesty.

I'm not going to run.

Ning Weishan usurped power

and slaughtered my family.

How could I not avenge such a blood feud?

Why?

Why?

Take Pei Shenzhi to the prison.

Wait for further orders.

Pei Shenzhi.

Why do you dare not look at me?

It's not that

I dare not look at you.

Stop crying.

Why?

Because Zhuo Shangxian
k*lled too many people.

I worked for him

over the years.

People have long seen us as accomplices.

Whether his words are true or not,

the moment he spoke,

my fate

was determined.

You lied to me.

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

You promised me

you'd hang in there.

Why did you change your mind in court?

What was the midwife trying to say?

Why did you k*ll her?

Pei Shenzhi.

Look at me.

I don't know what she wanted to say.

Your Majesty,

I'm tired.

I don't want to persist any longer.

I've always hoped

to find a wise ruler

who cares for the world

and brings peace

to the people.

I'm lucky

to have met you.

I have no regrets.

What about me?

What should I do?

I have been

pushed forward my entire life.

I was forced

to ascend the throne,

protect myself, and fight back.

But when I had expectations

and wanted to achieve something,

I always ended up disappointed.

I want to protect Madam Li

and you.

But now, I have nothing and no one.

k*ll me.

It's time for Pei Shenzhi

to perish.

Please grant my wish.

Pei Shenzhi.

This is the second time
you've given up on me.

Pei Shenzhi, the remnant
of the former dynasty,

colluded with Zhuo Shangxian
to m*rder late emperor

and frame the prince.

[His heinous crimes]

[are too many to list.]

[Following the will of the people,]



[as a warning to others.]

[Thank you, Your Majesty,
for granting my wish.]

[Time for execution.]

[Do you hear me?]

[One year later]

Your Majesty,

you look amazing.

Please look.

[Bloom Order]

These people responded to the Bloom Order.

From the court ministers

to the common folk,
everyone is willing to put in a fight

for Your Majesty.

We are all ready.

Together as a flame.

Apart as stars.

From now on,

no one can stop Your Majesty.

All right.

Tomorrow, you shall

witness this grand event

with me.

Master Zheng,

have you heard about the rumors?

Rumors are saying

that Your Majesty is actually a woman.

They speak so seriously.

Master Zhou,

women can serve as ministers now.

Why can't one sit on the throne?

It might be inappropriate if His Majesty

hears what you say.

Your Majesty has arrived.

Let's go.

Master Zheng,

aren't you a bit talkative today?

Look.

Ministers,

present your memorials.

If there is nothing, you may leave.

Your Majesty is a woman.

This is ridiculous.

Other than Master Zhou,

who else has a dissenting opinion?

We'll back Your Majesty to the end.

We'll back Your Majesty to the end.

I also swear to support
Your Majesty with my life.

Let us work for the well-being of the people

and the prosperity of the empire
for the generations to come.

I shall

work hard

with all of you.

- Long live. - Long live.

- Long live Your Majesty.
- Long live Your Majesty.

It's windy.

Don't catch a cold.

What a flourishing era.

This is what we desire.
