【ENG DUB】Legend of Zang Hai EP26 | Xiao Zhan / Zhang Jingyi / Zhou Qi / Huang Jue | YOUKU
[Legend of Zang Hai] [Episode 26] Zhixing grew up near the border. Back then, he used to go on patrols with me. It’s a shame his mother passed away too soon to see this happy day. My Lord. Could you please tell me how many wives you have? What are you doing here? Zhixing ranked first in the imperial martial arts examination. As the lady of the house, shouldn’t I celebrate with you? I am his rightful mother, not her. [Late wife Shen Wan’s tablet] Have you lost it? Go back to your room. [Late wife Shen Wan’s tablet] Take her back. Go away. My father was the Minister of Rites. Meanwhile, Shen Wan’s father was merely a sixth-rank commandant who held no power. And she’s dead for years. How come her tablet gets to be placed in the family shrine now? Your principal wife is me. Zhixing is my rightful heir. Of course, his mother’s tablet can be placed in the family shrine. Who dares to say anything? He is your rightful heir? Then what about Zhifu? If that woman was your wife, then what am I? Even if Zhuang Zhixing is your rightful heir, he is considered my son. I am the rightful female head of this household. What kind of female head would make a scene like this? Take her back. My Lady. Please go back, My Lady. My Lord. I know what you’re thinking. You’ll be relying on him from now on. Therefore, he must be the rightful heir. But Zhifu is suffering and will never recover. Do you really think the Zhuang family can be brought back to its glory? You act like you have a deep affection for Shen Wan. But don’t you forget how she died back then. Take her away. Get lost! My wife lost it. Please forgive her. Let me toast to you. Come on, let’s toast to our Lord. – To our Lord. – To our Lord. Young Master. [Late wife Shen Wan’s tablet] Come on. Let’s toast to our Lord. Cheers. That’s right. – To our Lord. – To our Lord. Here’s to you. Take a bite. My Lady. Take a bite. Let me do it. Come on. Have another one. Mother. What happened to your face? Is it sweet? Open your mouth. It’s okay. Is it sweet? – Have another one. – My Lady. My Lady. Our Lord said that Mr. Zhifu needs to rest without getting disturbed. We’re told to send Mr. Zhifu and Young Madam to the ancestral mansion in Yongzhou. On what ground? Our Lord said that Mr. Zhixing will take office soon and have visitors at home. It won’t be nice for people to see Mr. Zhifu like this. You’ll get to my son only over my dead body. My Lady. Our Lord granted you permission to join them and take care of Mr. Zhifu. Get out. Get out! Get out. Get out. My Lady. Please start packing. We’ll set off tomorrow morning. Mother. What’s going on? Mother. Go to my room and get my attire of Imperial Lady of First Rank. Mother. Go get it. Alright. Mother. Zhifu. Your father has really abandoned us. Zhuang Luyin. I’ve served you for so many years but you wouldn’t even grant me the basic courtesy in the end. Alright. You’re really something. Sir. Everyone celebrated for me today. I’ve never heard so many compliments in my life. Is this the taste of power? This is what many people pursue throughout their lives. Once you have a taste of it, it’s hard to let it go. As you expected, my father called me to his study and told me everything tonight. I stood in front of him and suddenly realized that much of his hair had turned gray. He has returned the military command and even lost his position. He’s no longer that awe-inspiring Marquis of Pingjin anymore. He even seemed a bit shorter than he used to be. Zang Hai. When my dad saved you from that fire, I was very jealous. But he had no idea that you wanted him dead. You have achieved your goal. My father has lost. His hard work is in vain and he is already an old man. Can’t you let him go? You feel sorry for your father and don’t want him to die to his enemy. Then you know exactly how I feel. It was just my wishful thinking. You are too determined to be wavered. We have an agreement. I have obtained the answer you needed. My father gave me this bronze fish and told me the truth. This is what he found on your father. I’m giving it back to you. This is my father’s deepest secret. He fought the Dongxia army twice. He witnessed the power of the Gui Seal and the invincible ghost soldiers. But even after he broke the gate to Dongxia, he didn’t find the Gui Seal. In the sixth year of the Zhenshun era, the court sent Kuai Duo to build the Fengshan Altar in Dongxia. My father was concerned about Dongxia and asked his secret confidant Chu Huaiming to keep an eye on it. Three years later, my father escorted the hostage back to the capital. When they were about to arrive, my father received a secret letter from Chu Huaiming, saying that the Fengshan Altar collapsed. The Fengshan Altar collapsed. Help! Help! Kuai Duo, who should have been crushed, hurried back to the camp with a mysterious item. The Fengshan Altar collapsed. Help! Help! Help! Hurry. Hurry. Over here. – Step aside. – Get help! Hurry. Sir, bad news. Go over there. Help them. On the night we returned to the capital, that is when you kidnapped me, my father went to meet two people. They suspected that Kuai Duo dug up the Gui Seal and wanted to keep it to himself. Later, they found out that he was coming back in secret and concluded that he would leave the capital with his family. They waited outside the Kuai’s Mansion with my father. Finally, your father showed up. You already know who one of them is. Cao Jingxian. Who is the other person? Dongxia lost its treasure to a total outsider. They would try to get it back at all costs. Are you saying that the other person was from the Dongxia imperial court? She wasn’t just from the Dongxia imperial court. She represented the Dongxia imperial court. Queen of Dongxia? You are truly smart, sir. Nothing gets past you. I bet they allied with the Queen of Dongxia for mutual benefit. They annihilated the Kuai family to get the Gui Seal from your father. Even if she is the Queen of Dongxia, I won’t let her off. I have come this far thanks to you, sir. No matter how you want to take revenge on her, I will help you. But let me make one thing clear. I’ve fulfilled the agreement and told you everything. You can seek revenge on those two culprits. But you can’t kill my father. Young Master. Thank you. Today, Zhuang Zhixing was officially made the heir. The Marquis of Pingjin told him everything. So who was the third culprit that killed your family? Your mother. No way. It couldn’t have been my mother. I bet the Marquis of Pingjin was framing her. Hasn’t your mother kept asking you to look for the Gui Seal here in the past decade? Your mother told you to meet Cao Jingxian in private before the night banquet, right? My mother told me that Cao Jingxian was cunning and we were just pretending to work with him. Once I find the Gui Seal, I’ll do my best to send it back to Dongxia. We won’t share it with him. Of course, she won’t share it with him. The Marquis of Pingjin, Cao Jingxian, and the Queen of Dongxia formed a temporary alliance for the Gui Seal, but they each had their own motive. It’s not like that. The Gui Seal is a treasure of Dongxia. The Queen of Dongxia would do whatever it takes to find it. In that case, why would she hesitate to kill my entire family? Nonsense. I was just sent here when your family was killed. My mother was in Dongxia. She hasn’t come yet. How could she kill your family? How do you know that she didn’t come in secret? My mother is the Queen of Dongxia. You think it’s easy for her to come to the capital of the Great Yong? Zang Hai. Don’t just listen to one side of the story. ♪Lamplight fills the tower, driving away the mist♪ ♪I have kissed the frost and embraced the cold…♪ You won’t believe anything I say at this point. You resent me now. Don’t you? ♪Though the light boat has not passed the mountains♪ ♪Perhaps it’s better to rest because the sky is already dark♪ ♪I must hurry before the long road♪ ♪To catch that fleeting moonlight from years past♪ ♪Each step yesterday rang firm and clear♪ ♪Stirring up so many dreams I hold dear to♪ ♪Until dawn came♪ Summon Zhuang Zhixing. I, Zhuang Zhixing, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Zhuang Zhixing ranked first in the imperial martial arts examination and became a martial arts scholar. He shall be conferred the title of Distinctive Martial Artist and Zhennan Guard Regional Commissioner of the Zhongzhou Forces. I prostrate in gratitude to His Majesty. The Petition Drum. Who’s striking the Petition Drum? Your Majesty. It’s Lady Jiang, the Imperial Lady of First Rank, beating the drum outside, asking to see Your Majesty. Your Majesty. My wife is not well and has disturbed you. Please allow me to handle my family business at home. The Petition Drum has been struck. So it’s no longer your family business, but a national affair. I’d like to know why she would strike the Petition Drum on such a happy day. Summon Lady Jiang. Why did you come? Go home. I, Jiang Xiang, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Lady Jiang. Do you know what the Petition Drum does? Yes, I do. The heir of the Zhuang family was rewarded for his performance in the exam. I changed into the formal attire of the Imperial Lady of First Rank to beat the Petition Drum because I have one thing to report to Your Majesty. I’m listening. Your Majesty, shouldn’t the martial arts scholar of the Great Yong possess both martial prowess and virtue? Of course. What if the “martial arts scholar” won by foul means, his title neither justified nor legitimate, and worse yet, stained by the scandal of bribery? What then? I came here today to press charges against someone. This person committed fraud and deceived Your Majesty. He is the father of the martial arts scholar Zhuang Zhixing. The Marquis of Pingjin, Zhuang Luyin. Zhuang Luyin wanted to make sure that his son Zhuang Zhixing would rank first in the exam. So he paid off a number of examiners. Please do me justice. There is no such thing. My eldest son became gravely ill with no hope of recovery just a few days ago. My wife was deeply worried and developed hysteria. That’s why she is talking nonsense. Let me take her home now. Let’s go. Let her finish. Lady Jiang. Do you have any idea what crime you have committed by slandering a great general of the Great Yong before the entire court, civil and military officials alike? I wouldn’t have dared to strike the Petition Drum, nor accused my husband before Your Majesty’s very eyes, without irrefutable proof. I have enough evidence to incriminate Zhuang Luyin. Your Majesty. Please take a look. Feng Zhang, the chief examiner of the exam and Vice Minister of War. Wang Renliang, co-examiner and Vice Director of the Ministry of War. Director Yuan Cong. They have all been paid off by Zhuang Luyin. This ledger is the evidence of his bribery. To help Zhuang Zhixing rank first in the exam, Zhuang Luyin spent a fortune on those examiners. I bet they still have the money at home because they haven’t had time to spend it. Please look into it. Did you three hear what she said? Feng Zhang. Tell me. Is she telling the truth? I dared not do anything like this. What about you two? Tell the truth and I will spare your lives. I was indeed solicited by Zhuang Luyin and lost my judgment. That’s why I helped him cheat in the exam. Please spare me, Your Majesty. Zhuang Luyin. Do you have anything to say? Your Majesty. I don’t know what they’re saying. I disdain to even consider manipulating the imperial exam. I have guarded the border for the Great Yong for years and conquered Dongxia for Your Majesty. Heaven can testify to my loyalty to Your Majesty. I’m asking what you did in the exam, not the achievements you’ve made in the past. I am He Ziqing, Vice Minister of Rites. May I report something? Speak. Your Majesty. As the Grand Master for Glorious Happiness, Zhuang Luyin has been watching his eldest son Zhuang Zhifu embezzling money from the court over the years. Is that true? This is not Zhuang Luyin’s only crime. He let his subordinates kill the craftsmen at the Late Emperor’s Mausoleum. Everyone in the court was infuriated but dared not say anything. Your Majesty, please look into it and do people justice. Zhuang Luyin. Do you confess? Your Majesty. I did not kill any innocent people. I did that to serve the Great Yong… The Three Judicial Offices. Here. You three must investigate this thoroughly. As Your Majesty commands. Zhuang Luyin shall be imprisoned from this moment to wait for the court trial held by the Three Judicial Offices. Everyone in the Zhuang family will be grounded. Understood. [The Great Prison] My Lord. It’s damp and cold in prison. Have some liquor to warm up. You have until the incense burns out. You’d better hurry. What’s going on out there? The Three Judicial Offices confirmed that you bribed the examiners and deployed confidants in the army to control the border defense. What does His Majesty think? No one knows what His Majesty is thinking. But not a single minister pleaded for you in court. Cao Jingxian has even advised His Majesty to execute you many times. That eunuch wants me dead. In his dreams. I’m afraid that His Majesty won’t let you off easy this time. This offense would doom someone insignificant. But I will walk out of here intact. For over a century, the Zhuang family has led armies and guarded the Great Yong. His Majesty won’t really do anything to me. As for that eunuch… Zang Hai. Go to Xie Houguang of the Ministry of War and Huang Shen of the Ministry of Rites. They know what to do. I’d like to see who laughs last. What are you waiting for? My Lord. Do you really believe you can get out of here alive? You serve Cao Jingxian now? Have you ever realized that Cao Jingxian is not the only one in this world who wants you dead? What are you trying to say? Ten years ago, you killed the Imperial Astronomer Kuai Duo and his entire family. You set a fire to disguise it as a robbery to avoid getting caught. You thought you concealed the truth well. However, their son survived. Kuai Duo’s son. Kuai Duo. You are Kuai Duo’s son. I have killed too many insignificant people. Your father was just one of those petty worms. There were so many ways to get the Gui Seal. Why did you have to kill my whole family? Why did you have to implicate so many innocent people? People are bound to die. Does it matter when, where, and to whom they die? I see. This world has always bred men who treat other people as worms for their own selfish desires. But don’t you forget that justice always comes and karma will catch up with you. Don’t be ridiculous. I have been fighting wars for so many years with so many people’s blood on my sword. I never believe in karma. You pretended to pledge allegiance, biding your time by my side to strip me of my allies. You even set Zhifu up. You are smart, indeed. But Zang Hai, you’re too young and too impatient. You thought you had won. Do you really think I will die here? I will definitely pass this trial. Anyone can die, but not me. When I get out, I’ll kill you first. My Lord. Think about it. You cling to your pride and have the Muji Camp under control although you have stepped down from your position. His Majesty feels threatened. He won’t personally kill a general who has a widespread network of disciples and former subordinates. But what if someone kills you for him? Even if it causes turbulence and disrupts the morale of the army, he only has to get rid of that killer to appease everyone. Tell me. What will His Majesty do? So you’re the one who drove a wedge between Cao Jingxian and me. I bet you know that Cao Jingxian is also your enemy. As long as I tell him who you really are, he will surely kill you. If you can really get out of here alive, do you think I would reveal my identity to you? After that battle in the mansion, you and Cao Jingxian have turned against each other for the Gui Seal. You impose a huge threat to him by staying alive. You’re the person he wants to kill the most. And he will only find out who I am when he’s in your current position. You learned the truth but can’t do anything about it. Zhuang Luyin. How do you like being desperate? I dare you to have a fair fight with me instead of plotting against me. Where’s your integrity? My integrity is long lost. Even since I survived ten years ago, I’ve been living in torment. For me, no price is too high for revenge. The ends justify the means. Besides, I’ve found the three culprits who slaughtered my family. Revenge is the only thing left in my life. And you shall head to the afterworld. You figured it all out? Why do you think I did my best to support Zhuang Zhixing? You think I was helping you bring your family back to glory? You think you can keep him in the dark about how his mother died? Your elder son is rendered useless. Your younger son listens to everything I say. I’ve cut off all your retreats. Zhuang Luyin. Cao Jingxian. Queen of Dongxia. One by one, I’m coming after you. Great job, son. Zhuang Zhixing. What a good son. Kuai Duo. If you get to see your son like this, will you laugh or cry? ♪Conceal the ambition in my eyes♪ ♪In my palm, I hold a dangerous desire♪ ♪Turbulent waves hidden in my sleeves♪ ♪Silent thunder echoes around♪ ♪However cunning you are♪ ♪I can see♪ ♪Right through you♪ ♪Schemes are my armor♪ ♪Overt plans are my weapons♪ ♪With restrained fury♪ ♪I purge the world’s corruption♪ ♪The night is not dark♪ ♪Because♪ ♪My heart burns bright♪ ♪I control the shifting clouds♪ ♪I command the falling rain♪ ♪The compass of the human soul is unpredictable♪ ♪There will always be ups and downs♪ ♪I hold the power of life and death♪ ♪I grant and I take away♪ ♪When faith burns like the scorching sun♪ ♪I will sing aloud with you♪ ♪I am the sowing season♪ ♪I am the autumn harvest♪ ♪I am the world♪ ♪I am the people♪ ♪And you are also me♪
