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, Songyang's city suffered years of drought. No more congee.
00:00:17Mother-in-law, what are you implying? Songyang's drought has nothing to do with Doubao.
00:00:22The food we eat comes from my labor. If 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? Drink our resources.
00:00:52Drink up.
00:00:53Okay.
00:00:53Newbao? Newbao? What's wrong, Newbao?
00:01:20Mom, my stomach hurts.
00:01:22Newbao? Stay with me. Get the physician.
00:01:30No physicians. This brat's cursed. Three years of baled crops are her fault. Let's end this now.
00:01:38For everyone's sake.
00:01:40Mother-in-law. You mean, you poisoned her?
00:01:43If you can't do it, I'll take you both out. Reunite in hell.
00:01:47No. Drink this. No. Drink.
00:01:54Shouldn't I be fighting zombies in the apocalypse? Why am I here? Did I time travel?
00:02:01Drink.
00:02:05Thank goodness. My zombie fighting supplies came with me.
00:02:08Otherwise, in this god-forsaken place, how would I survive?
00:02:19Doubao? She's possessed.
00:02:22Doubao? Are you okay? You scared me to death.
00:02:24Ah, I'm Doubao. What an awful name.
00:02:29Mom, I'm fine.
00:02:31Bitch. Tougher than I thought. Still alive after that?
00:02:35So this is the devil who bullies me. Looks like a monkey, living up to every bit of my stereotype.
00:02:42Today, I'll rid the world of you.
00:02:44With me here, you won't touch Doubao.
00:02:47Whoa. Damn, that's bold. Ruthless. I like it.
00:02:51How dare you? If our Chen family kept you as daughter-in-law, you'd have been sold to some brothel.
00:03:00No.
00:03:02Mother-in-law, the 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? Corrupt officials, starving refugees everywhere.
00:03:17Food costs more than gold. You 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...
00:03:27Don't worry, Mom. With Doubao here, I'll give you...
00:03:31the finest life.
00:03:33Fine. Let's go.
00:03:37Hey, you can't leave.
00:03:40Who's the bastard that left banana peels here?
00:03:51Ouch, that hurt.
00:04:00Your Majesty, it's time for your meal.
00:04:04Have the Imperial Kitchen clear the dishes.
00:04:06We 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
00:04:17to 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.
00:04:28How can we think of dining?
00:04:30Your Majesty, didn't you send two princes to handle the disaster relief?
00:04:36Why still burden yourself?
00:04:39All faults lie with us.
00:04:42The responsibility is ours.
00:04:44Our actions must have angered the heavens.
00:04:48Hence this punishment upon our people.
00:04:50Your Majesty, I bring glad tidings.
00:04:59Last night's celestial alignment revealed an auspicious sign northwest,
00:05:03a most propitious omen.
00:05:05Songyang's drought crisis may find resolution.
00:05:08Can this be true, Minister?
00:05:10On my honor, Your Majesty,
00:05:12should we locate a young girl bearing an onyx pendant,
00:05:15she 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.
00:05:31Congratulations, 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,
00:05:49all troops shall search for the onyx pendant girl.
00:05:53Brother,
00:05:54Father sent us here for disaster relief,
00:05:56not to divert forces for some wild goose chase.
00:05:59Moreover,
00:06:00how could some pendant save our city?
00:06:02This makes no sense.
00:06:05Tang Jinglin,
00:06:06know your place.
00:06:08You are just my assistant.
00:06:09My decisions require no approval from the likes of you.
00:06:12Daobao,
00:06:21staying 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!
00:06:33Mom!
00:06:38Drink water!
00:06:39Mom!
00:06:43Mom, you're finally awake!
00:06:48What 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.
00:07:00This water you mentioned
00:07:04is 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?
00:07:18How do I explain this?
00:07:19It's all right, Daobao.
00:07:23If it's hard to explain,
00:07:24we'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,
00:07:46my child's father.
00:07:49My husband.
00:07:53My husband.
00:07:55Brother,
00:07:56let this end here.
00:07:58There's no girl with
00:07:59an onyx pendant in Song Yang.
00:08:02Your actions will only
00:08:03make things worse for Song Yang.
00:08:04How dare you?
00:08:06You're just an illegitimate son.
00:08:08My decisions as prince
00:08:09need no approval from you.
00:08:11Perhaps you want the throne?
00:08:13That's not what I meant.
00:08:20Your highness.
00:08:21Release 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
00:08:30anyone can hide from me.
00:08:32Yes.
00:08:35What are you planning?
00:08:40Your highness.
00:08:41The child meant no harm.
00:08:42I'll take her away at once.
00:08:44Wait.
00:08:53Your 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.
00:09:03Madam.
00:09:04What item do you seek?
00:09:05All will be revealed shortly.
00:09:10Seize her.
00:09:12Don't touch Doobao.
00:09:14Release my mother.
00:09:16Villains.
00:09:16You're all villains.
00:09:17Hang Xing Lin.
00:09:31Do you plan rebellion?
00:09:33We came here to aid disaster victims.
00:09:36Yet you pursue that onyx pendant.
00:09:38Hymen again, oppressing Song Yang citizens.
00:09:41How could I stand idly by?
00:09:42What?
00:09:43Is it too unextendent?
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,
00:09:50it's exactly as she said.
00:09:52Today, you won't leave this place alive.
00:09:54Brother.
00:09:54The 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.
00:10:02Enough of your patriotic pretense.
00:10:04Guards.
00:10:06Seize him.
00:10:08Brother.
00:10:09So this is how you treat family?
00:10:11For the glory of Dok Yan.
00:10:12Capture this traitor alive.
00:10:1410,000 tails of gold to the victor.
00:10:25Whoa.
00:10:41He's so good.
00:10:45Useless fools.
00:10:46Useless fools.
00:10:46Useless fools.
00:10:48Useless fools.
00:10:54Your highness.
00:11:05Let me show you something special.
00:11:08My eyes.
00:11:10Run.
00:11:11Now.
00:11:12Your highness.
00:11:12We'll meet again.
00:11:13If fate allows.
00:11:14My eyes.
00:11:15I can't see.
00:11:22Hold tight.
00:11:23Haya.
00:11:23Why does this feel?
00:11:53Why does this feel so familiar?
00:11:59I haven't even dismounted yet.
00:12:01Daobao.
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.
00:12:20Otherwise...
00:12:20Don'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.
00:12:27That's reassuring.
00:12:31Somehow, I keep feeling this woman resembles the courtesan from the brothel we encountered
00:12:35that day.
00:12:38Uncle Tang, you're a prince yet maintain a private encampment?
00:12:43Could 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 cast 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?
00:13:58This.
00:14:01Um, 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, managing military provisions,
00:14:13can handle this responsibility.
00:14:18Daobao, tell me truthfully now.
00:14:20Are you truly confident?
00:14:21I've got this.
00:14:22I believe in you.
00:14:26If 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.
00:14:39Agreed.
00:14:41Agreed.
00:14:42Preposterous.
00:14:43Joe Xiaosheng, have I been too lenient?
00:14:45Letting you overstep?
00:14:47Your Highness, this was their proposal, not my suggestion.
00:14:51Your repeated interrogation forced this outlandish scheme from them.
00:14:55You're the instigator.
00:14:56Calm yourself, sire.
00:14:58We're imposing on you.
00:15:00Should this burden you, we'll leave honorably.
00:15:03Now if Daobao succeeds in solving the crisis, we'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.
00:15:17I'm essential.
00:15:19The old man.
00:15:20Name 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.
00:15:36If I materialize dishes, they'll dissect me.
00:15:40No choice.
00:15:41I'll summon a pig.
00:15:44The 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.
00:16:23Help.
00:16:24Help me.
00:16:25What'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.
00:16:41Uncle Tang is so cool.
00:17:03Mr. 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.
00:17:27Here.
00:17:28Here.
00:17:36Daobao, thank you.
00:17:37You're Songyang City's lucky star.
00:17:40Not some girl with an onyx pendant.
00:17:43Uncle Tang, the onyx pendant you mentioned, is this it?
00:17:46This?
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.
00:18:05It'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.
00:18:23Your 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.
00:18:58This is incredible.
00:18:59In that case, we must act swiftly.
00:19:02Go and return quickly.
00:19:03Understood.
00:19:28Talk.
00:19:29Where's that traitor?
00:19:31Hidden 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.
00:19:49What was that?
00:19:50Damn it.
00:19:55Within a 50 kilometer radius, leave no stone unturned.
00:20:00Search the area.
00:20:08Your Highness, retreat now.
00:20:10Prepare the horses.
00:20:13Return to the palace immediately.
00:20:16The 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?
00:20:30Have your men keep weapons by their pillows.
00:20:44Let my dear brother experience what it's like to ambush sitting ducks.
00:20:49Hey, 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.
00:21:01This little girl is more cunning than she looks.
00:21:26How dare you?
00:21:27You insult His Highness.
00:21:29Shh.
00:21:29Could you old folks stop overreacting?
00:21:33It's just a night vision device.
00:21:35You.
00:21:38Does it work well?
00:21:39Uncle Tang knows best.
00:21:48Attack.
00:21:50Attack.

00:22:25Attack.
00:22:26Attack.
00:22:27Attack.
00:22:28You traitorous dog, this crown prince will bury you here.
00:22:37Uncle Taddy, watch out.
00:22:42How dare you attack my savior? You'll pay dearly for this.
00:22:53Let me show you my Gatling's power.
00:22:56That's your weapon, a rusty bucket.
00:22:58Scared now, aren't you?
00:23:00Pathetic. I've never known fear since the day I was born.
00:23:11This is terrifying. Somebody help.
00:23:14Useless. It's just a stupid bucket. Stop being cowards. Attack them.
00:23:18Your Highness, my mother and children need me. I can't die here.
00:23:23Worthless fool. You'll pay for this later.
00:23:26The princess forces outnumber us. Uncle Taddy's been wounded. We're hopelessly outmatched.
00:23:31This isn't sustainable. Survival comes first.
00:23:34Strategic retreat. Best 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. Automatic transmission. Step here to accelerate.
00:23:57Care to taste. My bug spray, Your Highness.
00:23:59My eyes.
00:24:04I'm done with this. See ya, suckers.
00:24:10Water.
00:24:12What's the situation?
00:24:18Why are you stuttering and stumbling over your words?
00:24:22Out with it.
00:24:22Your Majesty, this old servant has yet to receive any word from the two princes.
00:24:32Send more personnel.
00:24:33At once. Calm your wrath, Your Majesty. We beg your mercy.
00:24:37Urgent report.
00:24:39Your Majesty, the royal astrologer seeks audience. He claims urgent matters to disclose.
00:24:44Bring him in.
00:24:45As you command.
00:24:47Sire.
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?
00:24:59What remedy exists?
00:25:02Well, 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.
00:25:11The onyx-pendant maiden must be sacrificed to appease the gods.
00:25:19Your Majesty, we must act decisively.
00:25:22Ur-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?
00:25:40I was wondering.
00:25:42Which clever lady bandaged my wounds so skillfully?
00:25:47It's been over a month.
00:25:49Your injuries should be almost healed by now.
00:25:52Is that so?
00:25:53What a shame, then.
00:25:56What do you mean?
00:25:58That way, I won't get to enjoy your daily nursing care anymore.
00:26:05Your Highness, stop teasing me.
00:26:08I'm sorry.
00:26:10Don't want to?
00:26:14What?
00:26:16Don't want to?
00:26:17No.
00:26:19Your Highness, your wound might reopen.
00:26:21Why worry?
00:26:23I have you here.
00:26:25Uncle Tang, Mom, look what Doe Bao brought for you guys.
00:26:40Seems I came at a bad time.
00:26:42Uncle Tang, carry on.
00:26:43By the way, Ruolan, I've finally witnessed Doe Bao's true power.
00:26:51She's truly the lucky star of Songyang City.
00:26:54What's wrong, Ruolan?
00:26:55My mother-in-law kept saying Doe Bao was Songyang's curse.
00:27:02That child never had a single good day at home.
00:27:05That's nonsense.
00:27:06Doe Bao's adorable.
00:27:08She 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 Doe 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?
00:27:41Don't you think we've been too comfortable lately?
00:27:47You mean the crown prince?
00:27:49Don'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.
00:28:11Ha ha ha ha.
00:28:15Your highness, what have you been up to lately?
00:28:18Mayor'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, Heruolan.
00:28:39You promised me freedom and all the luxuries.
00:28:43Now you've vanished like morning dew.
00:28:45Mayor, 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.
00:29:03Dear brother, I must prepare you a grand gift.
00:29:08Don't you dare refuse your elder brother's kindness.
00:29:11Your majesty, I bring urgent news.
00:29:26Hmm.
00:29:27This child is the one the royal oracle spoke of.
00:29:30The girl with the onyx pendant.
00:29:35Is this true?
00:29:37Come.
00:29:38Come.
00:29:39Let me see this child.
00:29:42Approach.
00:29:43Ah, she's quite comely.
00:29:50Fiddy about her cursed fortune.
00:29:56Your 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.
00:30:05I only worry that your majesty might be misled by villains.
00:30:11What do you mean?
00:30:11Explain yourself.
00:30:14This 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.
00:30:23Huh?
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.
00:30:34I've never committed any transgression.
00:30:37I beg your majesty's fair judgment.
00:30:39Very well.
00:30:40If your conscience is clear, let's conduct a blood test to verify kinship.
00:30:44Guards.
00:30:47This matter concerns royal bloodlines.
00:30:50No room for games.
00:30:52Hey, could you all consider my feelings?
00:30:54Your majesty, I only wish to protect royal purity.
00:31:02Huh?
00:31:04Proceed, brother.
00:31:08Your majesty, my conscience is clear.
00:31:10Your clear conscience?
00:31:12Then a blood test won't hurt.
00:31:13Huh?
00:31:13Huh?
00:31:13Your majesty, this?
00:31:33Treacherous son, any last words?
00:31:42Holy cow.
00:31:43Don 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?
00:31:59The evidence condemns you.
00:32:01Then I...
00:32:03shall 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.
00:32:16Your servant greets your majesty.
00:32:21Rise.
00:32:22Thank 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 saw.
00:32:52The onyx pendant.
00:32:53It's genuine beyond doubt.
00:32:57The girl linked to the pendant.
00:32:58When I approached this child, her extraordinary countenance revealed, she'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, silencing 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, Lin is young and foolish.
00:34:10I beg you, grant 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.
00:34:46A woman with no power or connections, and 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, so 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?
00:35:59Ruolan.
00:36:04Ruolan.
00:36:06That 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.
00:36:46Send orders.
00:36:47The altar must be meticulously cleansed, surrounded by ceremonial banners, and the ministry of
00:36:52rites 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.
00:37:26Now go.
00:37:30Your 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, his highness, fell right into his trap.
00:37:50Your urgent priority now should be rescuing his highness.
00:37:55Lynn 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.
00:38:14Who's there after them?
00:38:24Quee?
00:38:25Why are you here?
00:38:27Your highness, save your strength.
00:38:28Let'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.
00:38:41What'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.
00:39:10Indeed, your highness, he got lucky this time.
00:39:14Damn it.
00:39:16We failed to eliminate him this time.
00:39:18That brat got off easy.
00:39:23Your highness, I have a plan to propose, though I hesitate to share it.
00:39:28Speak up or shut up.
00:39:29Your highness, the 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.
00:39:41I'll make arrangements immediately.
00:39:42By 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.
00:40:00Understood.
00:40:00Where am I?
00:40:09Did I time travel again?
00:40:11What the hell is going on now?
00:40:20Heaven and earth rejoice.
00:40:22Blessed 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 save 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?
00:40:49Thank 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.
00:41:13I've witnessed her abilities.
00:41:15Sacrificing her now would be your majesty's loss.
00:41:19Your 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.
00:41:45Begin the sacrificial ritual immediately.
00:41:52Yes, your majesty.
00:42:04Ah, this.
00:42:05Your majesty.
00:42:06Disaster has struck.
00:42:08The child has disappeared.
00:42:09I'm right here.
00:42:13Do Bao, come back.
00:42:15Enough with your bickering.
00:42:20None of you can solve Song 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.
00:42:35Your failure doesn't mean I can't succeed.
00:42:39Preposterous.
00:42:39Your majesty, you mustn't trust this child's nonsense.
00:42:44Unbelievable.
00:42:47You 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.
00:44:04Perhaps we should...
00:44:05Wait.
00:44:06Issue my royal decree.
00:44:07Send more troops to search the outskirts.
00:44:10Anyone who finds this woman within three days...
00:44:12Will 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...
00:44:24Shall be rewarded with ten thousand gold.
00:44:28Yes.
00:44:32Move out.
00:44:34Come out now.
00:44:35Help.
00:44:36Let me go.
00:44:37Daobao.
00:44:38You deal with the prey for rain at home.
00:44:40Leave your mother to me.
00:44:41My own mother is gone.
00:44:43How can I care about praying for rain?
00:44:46Wait a minute.
00:44:48Where are you going to find...
00:44:49Don't know anything.
00:44:50When to find our...
00:44:54This...
00:44:55Hey.
00:44:56I found it.
00:44:57Fortunately, before I...
00:44:58Don't worry mother a person.
00:44:59Fit her with a tracker.
00:45:01So quickly.
00:45:02Come in handy.
00:45:02I 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.
00:45:12What?
00:45:12Let me see.
00:45:14Uncle Tang?
00:45:15Looking in this direction is like...
00:45:17Is the palace.
00:45:19Dammit.
00:45:19Ah.
00:45:20That's bad.
00:45:21Your mother was kidnapped into the palace.
00:45:23We 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.
00:45:29Dammit.
00:45:30Whatever.
00:45:30Uncle Tang.
00:45:31Let's advance palace.
00:45:32Then improvise.
00:45:33That's what I thought.
00:45:34My brother's sinister.
00:45:35He can fabricate excuses out of thin air.
00:45:38Let's go.
00:45:40Your majesty.
00:45:41The 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.
00:45:51I 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,
00:45:58this 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 me.
00:46:18What did that?
00:46:20Me 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.
00:46:44Explain 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
00:46:58would 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.
00:47:29You unfilial brat.
00:47:33How dare you return?
00:47:36Do you truly trust your own son so much?
00:47:40Why 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.
00:48:39Grand 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.
00:50:02This 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 has 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.
00:51:45Okay.
00:51:45Put them in.
00:51:49I don't know.
00:51:51Under challenge...
00:51:53Go.
00:51:54If I see him.
00:52:01I'm sorry.
00:52:02I can't land.
00:52:05I can't deal with him.
00:52:06I can't do it if I need someone else.
00:52:08Our children but me never should.
00:52:10Okay, listen to him.

01:21:20mother i know what you must do at the gathering
01:21:27why hasn't ruolan made her move yet could it be she's afraid to embarrass herself
01:21:33ruolan is young and inexperienced with grand occasions like this
01:21:37perhaps she's simply nervous dear sisters please don't take offense
01:21:43ruolan it's all right no one here will laugh at you
01:21:46don't worry your highness this concubine is ready
