【ENG SUB】Legend of Zang Hai EP28 | Xiao Zhan / Zhang Jingyi / Zhou Qi / Huang Jue | YOUKU
[Legend of Zang Hai] [Episode 29] Sirs, His Majesty is feeling a bit weak today, so there will be no court session. Is His Majesty all right? The imperial physician has treated him. A few days of rest will do. But normally, when His Majesty doesn’t attend court, Mr. Cao handles affairs in his place. So, why isn’t he here today either? Sirs, please, go back for now. Zang Hai. Mr. Lv. Let’s just submit our memorial to the Cabinet for the Ministry of Works. Yes, sir. Mr. Zang! Greetings, Your Highness. No need for formalities. Let’s walk and talk. I just came from Hanzhang Hall, where I saw my royal brother. How’s His Majesty’s health? He’s fine. Just now he was in the side hall, toying with those wooden things. Would you like to know why Cao Jingxian isn’t here today? I don’t dare ask. You don’t dare? Then I’ll tell you anyway. Didn’t Cao Jingxian give you a hard time before? When you hear this, you’ll be thrilled. I heard something major happened last night. Cao Jingxian was attacked in his manor. He’s critically injured. The Emperor ordered the best medicine to keep him alive, but whether he’ll live to see the sunrise tomorrow, no one knows. Why don’t you seem the least bit surprised? Could it be you already knew? I was just thinking, Cao’s Mansion is heavily guarded. And Mr. Cao is always surrounded by elite guards. How did the assassin succeed? Shouldn’t you first ask who would want to kill Cao Jingxian? Surely Your Highness doesn’t believe he has no enemies? I heard the assassin was highly skilled and even got away. The Imperial Surveillance Office will have their hands full now. I just hope they don’t catch the wrong person. That’s the strange part. The Surveillance Office shows on sign of making an arrest. Why is that? I’m not sure either. But your reaction is rather interesting. Are you hoping he dies? Your Highness, how can I… It’s fine. I hope he dies too. The deer blood is here! Father, it’s time for your medicine. Father. Father? Have you found anything? We dismantled the hidden weapon and compared it to schematics by past master craftsmen. But we still don’t know where it came from. However… the hidden mechanism in the cellar must have been installed after the Marquis’s estate was confiscated. And we discovered that after the property was sealed, only Zang Hai ever entered the mansion. That level of precision… that kind of detail… who else could it possibly be… but Zang Hai? I’m going to kill him right now! Kill him? It’s only a matter of time… Right now, what matters most… is the Gui Seal. I have to find it… Father. If I can’t get the Gui Seal… Father! I… Father! Father! – Father! – Father! Father! – Father! – Father! – Someone! – Help! Quick! Hurry! [Complete Map of Dongxia] [Complete Map of Dongxia] Be careful. Watch your step. It’s been a while since you came outside, huh? The sun’s out today. Let’s enjoy the walk. Let’s check out over there. I’ve spread the word already, but the Dongxia royal court hasn’t made a single move. The Queen of Dongxia really knows how to play it cool. Her daughter’s missing, and she’s still keeping calm. She’s probably seen through the trap we set. She won’t come to the Great Yong so easily. If she won’t come, then there’s only one way left. Come on, come take a look! Hot meat buns! Just a moment! Just this one? Not getting more? [New Year scrolls] Here we go! Here comes the dish! Quick! We’ve been waiting for it! Still steaming! Great! Make sure it’s steady! Careful! Don’t let it fall! All the dishes are here. Let’s eat! Smells good. Tastes good! I made it! – Great job. – Come on! Master, here you are. Careful, it’s hot. All right. Don’t worry. I already brought some lamb soup to Master Liuchu and that fierce lady. Another new year behind us. Last year was a good one. Let’s hope this one’s even better. All right, let’s have a drink. Cheers! Cheers! – Cheers! – Cheers! Guanfeng, I’ll send you and Shilei to the Astronomical Bureau. Study under Mr. Shi, learn some real skills. I’m not going. It’s nice here. And there’s meat. If Guanfeng won’t go, then… then neither will I. Besides, I’ve already mastered… the “Horse-Front Divination” lesson. What did you divine? I divined this year will be smooth sailing for me, and I’ll get a fine steed too! I’ll ride it to a faraway place! So basically, you just want Hai to give you a horse? Then just say it. Why all the buildup? Come on, eat up! Master, I wish you a long life and daily blessings. Good! Good. Come on, eat up! Have some more! You all eat up! This dish is really tasty. Master, in a few days, maybe we should let Miss Xiang go. You’ve made up your mind and you must go to Dongxia? Since the Queen of Dongxia won’t show up, I’ll have to go myself. But what about her? What’s the point in forcing yourself like this? You think emotions are as simple as geomancy? When love and hate are tangled together, no matter how carefully you plan, or what choice you make, there may be no right or wrong. But Hai… some people, once you miss them, you never see them again. Life shouldn’t be like that. I don’t want you to have regrets. You’re awake? Here, try it while it’s warm. He made it. He’s still going to Dongxia? He insists on it. I couldn’t talk him out of it. But I know his heart isn’t as hard as it used to be. Quick, drink it while it’s warm. [Zhen Tower] Here, Hai. Try the calming tea I made just for you! Perfect timing. Help me take this to the Cabinet, will you? What is it? My resignation memorial. Resignation? Don’t panic. I’ve already thought it through. Mr… Mr. Zang! What’s the rush? The court urgently summoned you to the Ministry of Works. Then that’s settled. You may go now. Zang Hai, you’ve come at last. Sir, what’s the matter? A few days ago, Dongxia reported they had acquired an extraordinary treasure. They plan to present it to His Majesty during the New Year tribute. The Ministry must hurry and prepare the guesthouse for Dongxia’s envoys. So the Dongxia delegation is coming? Indeed. [Imperial Edict] And this time, [Edict Text]
the Queen of Dongxia herself is coming. In the past, only their envoys came. Who would’ve thought [Diplomatic Roster]
she’d come in person this time? [Queen of Dongxia] [Mingyu Suti]
His Majesty has ordered there must be no errors. So should the guesthouse be renovated to royal standards? No need for that. The Queen said she’ll stay in the Hostage’s Mansion. She must be out of concern for her daughter. But that’s fine. That saves us a lot of trouble. [Mingyu Suti] Go ahead and make preparations. [Mingyu Suti] [Imperial Edict] [Ding’an Gate] [Ding’an Gate] She comes after all. [Kunning Gate] Queen of Dongxia seeks audience! – Greetings, Your Majesty. – Greetings, Your Majesty. I, Mingyu Suti, Queen of Dongxia, pray for the Emperor of Great Yong to enjoy good health and lasting fortune. May Great Yong prosper in peace and harmony. May Great Yong and Dongxia be bound in friendship for all time. May Heaven grant us peace, and may Great Yong and Dongxia thrive together in unity. You may step forward. The Queen has come from afar, and should meet with Princess Rouyuan. It’s been some time since I last saw her. Your Majesty, the Hostage’s Mansion says the Princess caught a chill a few days ago and should not go out just yet. She also fears spoiling Your Majesty’s mood. Once she’s recovered in a few days, she will come greet Your Majesty in person. Send someone to deliver fine medicine. Yes, Your Majesty. I appreciate Your Majesty’s concern. It’s just a minor illness. A few days’ rest will do. As part of this tribute visit, I have brought some special gifts for Your Majesty. Tribute from Dongxia: 3,000 taels of gold, 2,000 roots of ginseng, 100 saddled horses, 100 sets of gilt bronze tack with cloud patterns, 50 jade-inlaid belt guards with dragon patterns, 50 pairs of white porcelain jugs topped with emerald rooster crests, 300 amber necklaces, each finely strung, 300 mink pelts, snow-white and soft, and 150 jars of aged fine wine. Come and eat. Where is Zang Hai? He… has work to do. He went to my mother? He went to kill my mother? Didn’t he? Just spare me the questions. Alright. Let my mother and me die with him and his child on this very day. What do you mean? You’re a physician. Can’t you tell I’m pregnant? No way. Hai couldn’t have… Take my pulse if you don’t believe me. Deficient pulse filling. No signs of fetal pulse. You lied to me? But why are you…? Why am I so powerful, huh? The soup is mixed with Tendon-weakening Powder. Isn’t it? What a pity that I threw them away these days. I’m in a bad mood. Tell me where Zang Hai is. How dare you trick me? Listen carefully. Nobody from the Kuai family would be coerced. I won’t tell you where he is even if you kill me. Your Majesty, be careful! What do we do? They are blocked outside. Keep going. Why isn’t it working? Poisonous smoke. Protect Her Majesty. Go back. Let’s go. Antu. Where are you going? Let him go. We’re the only ones here. No one can beat you. Besides, how would he know where Hai took your mother? Where is he? He is showing your mother around the capital. How many people did he bring? He went to see her alone. If things go south, Gao Ming and Shilei will secretly cover him. He’s way too reckless. How can the three of them handle the Queen of Dongxia? Don’t underestimate them. Tell you what. You thought he operated in the shadows, while my mother stood in the light. But she knows who he is all along. She’s well prepared. His plan won’t work. No way. I don’t believe you. Tell me where he is. I have to stop him. But the revenge is his to take. None of us can stop him, including you. I’m afraid that everything will come to an end today. Liuchu. Please tell me where he is. But it wouldn’t help even if you find him. Your Majesty. The smoke dissipated as soon as we came out. He just didn’t want us to enter. Your Majesty, be careful. There were six lotuses on the wall of the first corridor. And there were six of us. Five lotuses in the second corridor. There are five of us. Stay here and wait. The rest of you, follow me. Your Majesty. Let’s go. Only four lotuses left. I think there are mechanisms under the entire passageway. If more people enter than the number of lotuses, the stone gates will remain sealed. Zang Hai intends to break us up. So he wants to see me alone. All of you, go back. No, Your Majesty. The smoke wasn’t poisonous. I don’t think he wants to kill us. Your Majesty… Your Majesty… Say no more. I’ll enter alone. – Understood. – Understood. The door has been locked. It won’t open from the inside ever again. So my daughter is not here. She is somewhere safe. Whose tomb is this? It’s the tomb of Princess Yongning, the daughter of the late Emperor Zhenzong. Emperor Zhenzong loved her very much. But Princess Yongning died in a foreign land. So her tomb was abandoned before it was even completed. I know her story. She married Khan far away from home and had a son and a daughter with him. They lived a happy life. But it didn’t last long. Khan’s big brother Chiwu Zhu launched a coup and killed Khan. Princess Yongning and her children were tied to wooden posts and burned to death. Emperor Zhenzong didn’t have the power to take down Chiwu Zhu once and for all, so he bided his time. Five years later, Emperor Zhenzong led an army of 300,000 troops to pacify the entire Mobei. Chiwu Zhu was also tied to a wooden post and burned into charcoal. All the murals here were hand-painted by Emperor Zhenzong. He did this to etch his daughter’s death into his soul. You didn’t lure me here just to tell me the story of Princess Yongning, right? The night when my whole family was killed, what were you thinking while staring at the blazing fire? You have a daughter, too. If she were the one who died there, what would you have done? Of course, I would have avenged her. But remember. If you kill me now, you’ll lose any chance with my daughter forever. Using your daughter to get yourself out of trouble? That wasn’t a great idea. I’m not the kind of person you think. Really? Then why did you paint over the murals here? Were you scared that you would slowly forget to take revenge? As people live on, their hatred will eventually be worn out. So you kept repainting these to burn yourself with the flame of hatred. You’d rather pause your life on that tragic night. But time won’t stop. It will push you to keep going forward. You’ll meet someone who makes you feel for the first time that there is a meaning to life apart from hatred. But that pains you even more. Because you will sense your hatred fading away. So you have to force yourself to give up all that and continue to seek revenge. Are you really going to kill me with that? Look at the bags above your head. They are filled with wheat flour. Once I pull the rope, the wheat flour will pour out. It’s not easy to kill you with this arrow. But it’s really easy to set the chamber on fire with it. I didn’t expect you to set up such a trap. You’re surely Kuai Duo’s son. If you kill me, you will die, too. Are you willing to die like this? You keep talking because you are afraid of death. The Queen of Dongxia turns out to be nothing extraordinary. Zang Hai. You’ve worked hard. But this is not a good decision. Do you know what you’re doing to my daughter? She will end up just like you, tormented by hatred. Will you still do this if that’s the case? I’ll feel sorry for Antu once I kill you. But if I don’t kill you, I’ll feel sorry for my family. I must take revenge. Mother. Antu. Leave. I’ll do it for you. Antu. Stay back, both of you. Zang Hai. I’ll die for my mother. From now on, the grudge between our families is over. Alright? Mother. Please don’t give him a hard time. Stop! You. Take her away. No. You have to avenge your family. If you give it up for me, you will regret it forever. Both of us will suffer. You have to take revenge. Silly girl. Ten years in Yong made you so irritable. Thankfully, you haven’t been fully twisted by hatred. But how are you going to take down your real enemies? The person who killed my family with Zhuang Luyin and Cao Jingxian was not you? Zhuang Luyin… Cao Jingxian… Tell me. Why are you so certain that I was one of them? I don’t know your relationship with Zhuang Luyin. But you have been allied with Cao Jingxian for years. That petty eunuch. Why would I need help to kill Kuai Duo? Your speculation is understandable. Let me tell you a story first. You can decide whether to believe me. Zhinu. You are so much like him. ♪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♪
