Senior,
have you accomplished Swan Falling Swordsmanship?
I saw that just now.
I've not fully accomplished it.
Lan stayed with me in Mount Song for half a month.
To take her out of the mountain,
I had to learn it.
So Lan has been with you.
Then I'm relieved.
It seems the rain has stopped.
I'm going out to have a look.
You used to be an official, but now you are in jail.
What is your mood?
Li Si,
you and I are peers.
Did I ever offend you?
Why did you frame me up?
Don't you know why?
You are
a threat to me.
You shouldn't have become a favored minister.
You shouldn't be ahead of me.
A person who can't even speak fluently
like you
is not qualified to compete with me for the prime minister.
Do you know?
I have struggled for so many years
to reach my current position.
I don't allow anyone to
take away anything that belongs to me.
So you did all this as you want to be the prime minister.
Han Fei,
you brought this trouble to yourself.
You have decided to serve Qin,
but you still want to protect Han.
What you said and did
will not produce any result.
You have to recognize the truth.
I
respect and admire His Majesty's wisdom.
And I hope to offer advice based on my knowledge.
I... I...
I have never wanted to become the prime minister.
Enough!
You can't decide whether you can become the prime minister or not.
As long as His Majesty values you,
I have to force you to leave Xianyang.
It's too late for you to quibble about this.
You deceived His Majesty and made trouble,
which annoyed His Majesty,
and he has decided to dispatch troops to attack Han
to destroy Han to vent his anger.
What... what?
Li Si, is what you said true?
Everything I said is true.
This is why I come here today.
Han Fei,
if you want to confess your sin to His Majesty,
I may plead for you
to keep you alive
as you are my peer.
Take care.
I... I...
It's all because of me.
It's all because of me.
I put Han in trouble.
I put Han in trouble.
Junior.
Senior.
Senior.
Junior, are you alright?
I'm fine. Sorry to make you worried.
Thank you.
Take her back.
Senior,
thank you.
Let's go.
I won't let you leave me from now on.
I'll protect you with my life.
We live together, and die together.
No one has treated Ying Zheng sincerely
since his childhood.
So he has no one he can trust.
I bore Ying Zheng a child.
I'm going back to Xianyang.
Take care of yourselves.
In your heart,
Ying Zheng is more important than me.
Shangyi,
have you arranged the decoction for Lord Changping?
Your Highness,
Lord Changping will take soothing decoction once every day.
Our man has sent the drug into the mansion.
This drug is highly toxic.
After he takes it,
he will die in a moment.
After Lord Changping dies,
according to our plan,
Li Si will take his place.
It's such a big favor.
In the future,
Li Si
will do as I say.
It's a wise idea.
Lord,
our person sent a message that
Concubine Chu is going to poison Lord Changping.
What should we do?
We'll use the drug
Concubine Chu prepared for Lord Changping
to kill Han Fei.
This is his ending for
advising His Majesty to attack Zhao.
the nine-eye colored glass beads will be a big help.
This is borrowing a knife to kill a man,
and killing two birds with one stone.
We can kill Han Fei and
make Concubine Chu and Li Si scapegoats.
It's scary to think about it.
How will His Majesty punish them?
And,
you need to do it
in person.
You must make sure it is absolutely safe.
Yes.
I know.
Your Majesty,
we'll get out of Hangu Pass if we keep going south.
There are several routes to the military fortress.
I suggest that
the order for arrest should be issued to Huben guards,
so that we can find Her Highness as soon as possible.
However, if I issue the order for arrest,
it means that I determine that
Li escaped without permission.
I understand.
But the longer the delay,
the more dangerous Her Highness will be.
Your Majesty,
look.
Stop.
Li,
Your Majesty,
I am back.
Tell me.
What happened?
Your Majesty,
I will tell what happened to me
in detail when we go back to the palace.
But now
Mr. Han Fei's safety is the most important.
I already know someone
is behind my being kidnapped.
You have to believe that
Mr. Han Fei is absolutely innocent.
If you use a man, don't suspect him; if you suspect him, don't use him.
Your Majesty,
Mr. Han Fei
enjoys a widespread reputation.
I believe he never wants to betray Qin.
He was put in jail suddenly.
I'm afraid this move can't convince people.
Your Majesty,
Mr. Han Fei must have been framed up by an adulterer this time.
Hope you can release him
after you go back to the court.
Lord, I've prepared the soothing decoction for you.
Leave.
Got it.
Mr. Han,
I'm here to visit you.
You are now in jail
and tortured and insulted.
When you came to Qin,
you were lofty with profound learning,
but it has all become past story.
I'm afraid His Majesty has forgotten you.
If you want to get out of the misery early,
I can help you.
If you commit suicide
for Han
as you feel guilty,
other people may think
you are loyal and want to make up for your fault.
His Majesty is here!
Mr. Han Fei,
His Majesty is here to see you.
Open the door.
Got it. I'm going to ask someone to open the door.
Mr. Han Fei!
Summon a doctor!
Doctor!
Got it.
Your Majesty...
If
you want to bring all states under your rule,
you... you...
you have to run state affairs according to law.
You will
surpass the Five Emperors
and make great achievements like the Three Sovereigns.
I... I...
Mr. Han!
Mr. Han!
Mr. Han Fei!
This is my most fatal weakness.
I am suspicious,
jealous,
unsympathetic,
and cold.
My weakness
killed Mr. Han Fei.
Your Majesty,
there is a folk saying that
wise or foolish, people will have praise and slander.
You favored and trusted Mr. Han Fei these days.
Unexpectedly, it got him killed.
This is not your fault.
Someone utilized this
to frame him up and kill him.
Li,
who framed up and killed
Mr. Han Fei?
I think
colored glass beads are the finest jewelry of Chu.
Only the royal family members can get it.
In the palace, only Concubine Chu is from the royal family of Chu.
Though I don't have evidence,
this matter
must be related to her.
It makes sense.
Is your kidnap related to her?
You said the person who kidnapped you
is Xiahou Yang of Danding Sect.
Who is he working for?
How dare he
take you away from my palace.
If it is also Concubine Chu's arrangement,
I
will not spare her life.
I don't think this matter
is Concubine Chu's plot.
Or I should say
this can't be done by a woman in the Qin palace.
Xiahou Yang talked with me in the place
where he locked me. He said...
Who ordered you to kidnap me?
Who do you help? Whose way are you standing in?
The answer is very simple.
Don't you know?
Li Si?
So it should not be done by Concubine Chu.
In your opinion,
is there any connection
between these two matters?
I'm not sure yet.
But
Don't you think everything can be linked?
First,
someone framed Mr. Han Fei up, putting him in jail.
Next, Xiahou Yang took me away from the palace
and wanted to kill me.
Concubine Li,
went to visit rebellious official Han Fei.
Concubine Li visited the rebellious official openly,
ignoring Qin's benefit and the harem's safety.
What is she up to?
Now she left the palace without permission.
I'm afraid
she colludes with the rebellious official outside
and will do something bad to Qin.
If they are really the plotters,
I will not spare them.
Commandant of Justice.
Your Highness.
How could this happen?
Why could Lady Li come back to the palace?
Everything is wrong.
Why did Han Fei die, rather than Lord Changping?
I don't know, either.
Who secretly helped Lady Li escape?
The master I dispatched has extremely good martial arts skills.
Lady Li wouldn't be able to escape from him
with her martial arts skills.
And,
why was Han Fei poisoned?
There's only one possibility.
The decoction was changed.
Someone knew our plan
before we implemented it,
and planted Han Fei's death
on us.
We need to be more careful
in the palace in the future.
The enemy may
have a spy around you,
but you are not aware of it.
Lan,
why do you come here?
I felt bored in the room alone,
so I went out to take a walk.
Sit down.
Ke,
I'm sorry.
Why do you apologize?
I suddenly feel that
it is wrong to let you
go to save Li.
I thought you should go to save her
as you still love her.
But I didn't realize that
it would make you sadder to
save someone who hurt you the most.
Lan,
it's not your fault.
You don't need to say sorry.
No,
it is my fault.
You are so deeply hurt.
I stayed at your side,
trying every means to make you happy,
but I couldn't take care of you.
I feel so sorry.
Maybe I shouldn't
let you see Li.
I've been at your side for so long,
but I don't know
how to understand your mood.
Perhaps it is a better choice
to let you stay alone.
Silly girl.
Don't say such words.
I am fine.
Don't blame yourself.
You went through a disaster, which worried His Majesty for days.
He couldn't eat or sleep.
Luckily, you came back safe.
Honestly,
though I know you have martial arts skills,
I also worried about you for days.
Sorry to make you worried.
As you were not in the palace these days,
rumors spread in the palace.
Some said you went out of the palace without permission again.
Some said you colluded with an official from another state.
In fact, both you and I know
it is most possible that the person who framed you up
is Concubine Chu.
Unfortunately,
we don't have any evidence.
Recently, Concubine Chu and Commandant of Justice had close contacts.
Commandant of Justice has ulterior motives.
He will never do anything
that has no benefit for him.
Concubine Chu must have talked about conditions with him.
We don't know
what deal they have reached secretly.
Concubine Chu and Commandant of Justice are both from Chu.
If they just comfort each other for homesickness,
it is normal.
Li,
in your opinion,
is Mr. Han Fei's death
related to them?
In fact,
I've been thinking the same question these two days.
Although Commandant of Justice and Han Fei are peers,
Commandant of Justice
is jealous of Han Fei as he was valued by His Majesty,
so
he framed Han Fei up, putting him in jail
with the fact that Han Fei advised not to attack Han.
By this chance, he ordered someone to send poison to the jail,
saying that it was from His Majesty.
But after thinking carefully,
this matter
is not that simple.
What makes you think so?
Your Highness, bad news! Bad news!
Your Highness.
Your Highness, something bad happened.
What happened?
Gracious Lady Jing
is dead.
What?
Your Highness, be slow.
How can I be slow under this situation?
Why did Gracious Lady Jing die suddenly?
That's Wu Fengyi from Her Majesty.
My greetings to Your Highness.
I have already sent someone to report that
I'm going to meet Her Majesty in person.
Why do you come?
Exactly because I received the report,
I come here to tell you
not to go to the palace of Her Highness these days.
Why?
Her Majesty doesn't feel well recently and needs time to recover.
The doctor said Her Majesty
should take a good rest to soothe the nerves.
She won't meet any person these days.
I need to meet her.
Do you know what big thing happened?
I have to tell Her Majesty
all the details.
Otherwise, if anything happens to me,
who can back me up?
You really can't see Her Majesty.
Even if you forcedly go into Huayang Palace,
Her Majesty can't meet you.
The doctor prescribed to let Her Majesty sleep deeply
in order to make her feel better.
So, you'd better go back.
Your Highness, what should we do now?
I don't know.
Doctor, please stay.
Your Highness.
Doctor,
what happened to Gracious Lady Jing?
Why did she
die suddenly?
Your Highness,
based on my preliminary examination,
Gracious Lady Jing had a dark face.
I guess
she died of poison.
Poison?
Who poisoned her?
Doctor,
what poison is in Gracious Lady Jing?
Your Highness,
I'm not sure yet.
When I first tried to cure her,
I found her body was twitching
and she couldn't breathe.
Later, her face got darker gradually and died.
Perhaps someone
made her take the poison containing black false hellebore.
Black false hellebore?
Yes.
Black false hellebore is a wild grass.
A few years ago, it was often used in the river
from which soldiers fetched water to drink
when two armies were in a battle.
It was used to weaken the enemy's forces.
I didn't expect that
someone would use it in the palace.
Your Highness,
please excuse my leaving.
Thank you.
Who is so vicious
to poison Gracious Lady Jing?
His Majesty is here!
My greetings to Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
you invite all ministers,
but why
don't they come?
This
is outrageous!
They must be punished!
I only invite
you today.
Come.
Come here.
Got it.
I can't remember the article "Two Kinds of Power"
written by Mr. Han Fei.
Recite some lines.
There are only two kinds of power
that a wise king
can use to control his subordinates.
The two kinds of power...
The two kinds of power
are punishment and virtue.
Why do you stutter
like Han Fei
when we talk about him?
Central Regular Attendant,
is the letter written on the fabric from Han Fei to King of Han
in your hands?
Can I read it?
Why do you
want to read it?
The authenticity of that letter
is related to Han Fei's innocence.
If it was not written by Han Fei,
it can prove that
Han Fei didn't want to collude with King of Han.
Your Majesty,
I request
to review the letter again.
Han Fei is already dead.
Is it necessary to check the letter?
Concubine Chu,
the characters of the seven states
are different with some similarities.
Han Fei was born in Han.
If Mr. Han Fei wrote
this letter on the fabric
as a secret letter to King of Han,
should Mr. Han Fei
write it
in Han language
or Qin language?
About this...
Or do you think
Mr. Han Fei should write this secret letter
in Chu language?
No. How would it be written in Chu language?
Lord Changping.
I'm here.
You were born in Chu,
and you have been in Qin for years with extensive experiences.
You know some about the characters of the seven states.
And I was born in former Wey,
so I am familiar with Wey language and Han language.
Your Majesty, can I
review this letter
together with Lord Changping?
If this is the order of His Majesty,
I am willing to do it.
Zhao Gao.
I'm here.
Take the letter out.
Got it.
Li Si,
let me ask you.
Besides you, who else in the palace
would want to frame up Han Fei?
Your Majesty,
Your Majesty,
I swear
to the heaven and earth.
I was jealous of Mr. Han Fei's talent,
but he and I used to be peers.
For so many years, we appreciated each other.
How would I
frame up and kill him?
Hope you can get to bottom of this matter
and find out the criminal
to redress the injustice suffered by Han Fei.
Concubine Li.
Are the characters on the letter
more similar to Chu characters?
Let Lord Changping tell us his opinion first.
Lord Changping,
what is your opinion?
Your Majesty, they are indeed a little similar to Chu characters.
That's impossible. How will they be similar to Chu characters?
Concubine Chu,
why are you so sure?
Did you read this letter before?
I mean,
I am also from Chu,
and I may help to review it.
Give it to me. Let me read it.
Concubine Chu,
is the poison
Mr. Han Fei drank
from you?
Don't slander me.
It has nothing to do with me.
You know very well
whether you did it or not.
Your Majesty,
I am wronged.
I never had hatred or grudge against Mr. Han Fei.
Why did I kill him?
Your Majesty, please don't be deceived and find out the real killer.
We can analyze step by step
whether you are related to this.
Zhao Gao.
This was found
in the prison where Han Fei was locked.
Central Regular Attendant
Yongxiang Jail Warden investigated it
and found this is colored glass bead from Chu.
Does it
belong to you?
Why did the colored glass beads
appear in the jail?
Your Majesty,
there are other Chu people in the palace.
They can also get colored glass beads.
Bullshit!
Colored glass beads
are first-class objects in Chu.
Only the royal family can get it.
Tell me.
In the Qin palace,
who else can get it
besides you?
Your Majesty, I am wronged.
I am wronged.
Your maids have already confessed
you are the one who gave Han Fei the poison.
The evidence is certain, but you don't admit it.
And,
the doctor told me
the poison
is the same used in Gracious Lady Jing.
The poison contains black false hellebore.
Is that a coincidence?
You can defend yourself.
If you can tell the details
to prove that you have nothing to do with the colored glass beads,
I will believe you.
Concubine Chu,
you already made Gracious Lady Jing have an abortion.
Why did you kill her?
I...
Your Majesty, I am wronged.
I didn't kill her.
The dirty things you did recently
really disappoint me.
I know that
Concubine Li's kidnap was also plotted by you.
I just can't find the evidence
to convict you of the crime.
Your Majesty, I am really wronged.
The colored glass beads...
I gave the colored glass beads
to Senior Palace Woman Han.
And she offered the letter.
Right.
Senior Palace Woman Han did it.
She wants to frame me up.
Everyone at the court
knows that she follows your orders.
If you didn't instruct her to do so,
she wouldn't be so bold
as a senior palace woman.
What else do you
want to say to defend yourself?
You colluded with Li Si,
and you want to put the blame on someone else.
Li Si,
what else do you want to say to defend yourself?
Your Majesty,
I am terrified.
I...
I was only jealous of Han Fei
for being valued by Your Majesty.
But I swear
I didn't poison him!
I really didn't do it.
You said you didn't want to poison Han Fei.
Tell me.
Who did you want to poison?
Me?
I dare not!
Your Majesty, I am really wronged.
For the sins of framing up Mr. Han Fei
and killing an official from another state serving Qin,
Concubine Chu is degraded to Four-rank Gracious Lady
and is dispelled from Zhaode Palace.
Take her away.
Your Majesty,
I am wronged! I am wronged!
Your Majesty,
I am wronged.
Your Majesty,
Commandant of Justice.
aren't you curious about
the content of the letter?
This...
This letter
is not written in Chu language.
It is written in Han language.
It's Han language.
I never said the letter
is written in Chu language.
It is all your suspicion.
So,
you have never read this letter.
When you
framed up Mr. Han Fei,
you said you had definite evidence.
Concubine Li,
it turns out it's you set the trap.
If I didn't set the trap,
how would you tell the truth?
I just utilized your guilt
to make you confess.
Li Si, what else do you want to say?
I am wronged.
I am wronged, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty,
I am really wronged.
Li Si colluded with Concubine Chu
to frame up Han Fei to put him in jail.
Considering your contributions to Qin,
I put you to 50 heavy beats.
You need to repay Qin
in the rest of your life.
Thank Your Majesty for sparing my life!
Take him away.
I suspect that Concubine Chu is used
to kill Mr. Han Fei.
Well, this is surmise on my part.
I feel that behind it
is a secret that we haven't found.
Lord,
thanks to your guidance,
we defeated the Qin Army.
Using Li Mu to defeat Qin is just the first step.
To make you the king,
there is still a long way to go.
If you intend to return to Yan,
why didn't you discuss with me?
I regard you as my brother and friend.
However, you asked your father,
who alienates you most, to send me a letter.
You've disappointed me.
You don't allow me to leave Xianyang.
That hurts me.
His Majesty gave orders.
There has been troubles in the city recently.
Your Highness is a man of noble birth.
To protect Your Highness,
His Majesty specially asked me
to guard your mansion with Huben guards.
We'll take care of
anyone who accesses the mansion.
Crown Prince Yan Dan sent me this book.
What does he want me to do?
Why is the "Book of Song"?
Help
Dan
to leave
Qin.
