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