Blossom (2024) s01e34 Episode Script

-Your Grace.
-Eunuch Wang.
How's His Majesty?
This way.
Mei Sun.
I'm afraid His Majesty
has lost his consciousness.
Why is this stuff here?
Mr. Ji came to see His Majesty.
He probably left it behind.
I want to teach you
The 13 Needles of Guimen.
There is a Haiquan acupoint
on the human tongue.
It can treat amnesia.
It has a miraculous effect
for those in danger.
Ji Yong is always mysterious.
He doesn't say things clearly.
Turns out that this acupuncture
technique is supposed to be used today.
So this is his series of strategies.
It's to eliminate the evil.
He served as
the secretary of Prince Qing.
On the surface,
it looks like he is revolting.
But actually, it was
ordered by His Majesty, right?
During the investigation
of the incident at Futing,
His Majesty knew
the death of the Duke of Ding
was done by Prince Qing.
So only by letting Prince Qing
act rebelliously
can those deeply hidden traitors
show up one by one
and be annihilated.
Ji Yong deceived everyone.
He also deceived Song Mo and me.
But in the court,
those who support Prince Qing
were far more than His Majesty expected.
Even several princes
also blatantly sided with Prince Qing.
And that person who ordered
and commanded the overall situation
was actually the person
who slept beside His Majesty.
That's how today's dead end came along.
It's not necessarily a dead end.
Eunuch Wang, come
and help me lift His Majesty.
(Blossom)
(Episode 34)
Keep the Yuanyang Formation
and get ready to break out at any time!
The end of the power.
Kill them!
No one is allowed to live.
Kill them!
My reinforcements are here.
Your Highness.
You have been deceived
and blinded by traitors
thus raising the troops
and disrupting peace.
I promise that
those who put down the weapon
and go back to the right path
will not be punished.
Otherwise,
with my heavenly troops here,
the rebellious traitors
will never be reincarnated!
Listen to me, Tengxiang Guards.
Your commander, Song Han,
deceived the superiors!
He hid it from you
and plotted a rebellion.
His Majesty lured you in
and has laid out the enforcers.
You
have no chance of winning!
No one is allowed to back out!
Anyone who backs out
will be killed!
Father.
The Crown Prince has been assassinated.
According to custom,
I should ascend to the throne.
Brothers!
We endure silently for years
just for today!
We want to stop the rebels
and protect the country!
It's time to act now!
Stop the rebels and protect the country!
Now that it has come to this,
we'll go all out.
Attack the Qianqing Palace
and seize the imperial seal.
At that time,
I will confer the titles to you!
Kill them!
Kill them!
Mei Sun.
This time, I
I won't let you down again.
Your Highness, this is bad!
The Crown Prince
and Count of Yunyang's troops
came from Duanmen in the south.
Wang Xing Yi and Mr. Ji
came with a large number of people too!
Father, I'm sorry for being late.
Kneel!
Your Highness,
please return to the palace!
Your Highness,
please return to the palace!
Dou Zhao wanted me
to hand this letter to Your Highness.
This is extremely urgent.
(With Your Highness away,
the Empress will rise a revolt)
(during the palace banquet
on the Lantern Festival.)
(When Your Highness read this,)
(kindly lead the troops back
to the palace to put down a revolt)
(to secure the country.)
Your Majesty,
I led three battalions
and 40 thousand soldiers to assist.
Prince Qing!
Your soldiers outside the city
have been fully controlled.
Surrender now!
The Duke of Jing,
King Jihuai, and King Yuan
have been arrested and confessed.
Your Highness, the game is lost.
Get up!
Get up!
Get up!
Get up!
Get up!
Ji Yong.
I treat you as my teacher
and I tolerate you.
Why did you betray me?
I am greedy for fame and career
because I want to get rid of
wealthy families with their cronies
to save the country from sinking.
No matter how you treat me,
in my eyes,
you're the first evil man
that should be removed.
The grievances of the Duke of Ding,
the people's suffering,
it's time for you to pay.
What's the point of dragging
the citizen into your revenge?
You're funny.
We made it.
We should fight for justice.
Let me go!
Your Majesty,
the Crown Prince returned safely.
Please spare my aunt
from the death penalty.
This matter about the Empress,
it's a state affair.
No matter what the decision is,
it's not up to you
or me.
You should return.
You fought
to get into the Qianqing Palace
just for this.
I will give it to you now.
Hold it!
You know well that
with your achievements and virtue,
you can't bear
the weight of this responsibility!
I can't bear it.
But Mother can bear it.
When I ascend to the throne,
Mother will govern the country.
She may not lose to
the previous wise kings.
You owe her this.
Your mother suffered for half her life.
I keep her kindness in my heart,
that's why she is the empress.
She is the empress.
But not only did she serve you
with medicine day and night,
she also helped you govern the country.
When you were weak,
she was so busy with the state affairs
that she hurt her eyes.
But have you ever treated her
as your wife?
You're afraid of her,
just like you're
afraid of Jiang Mei Sun.
You Ting!
Do you know why you lose?
When the time comes,
heaven and earth work together.
And when fortune comes,
all things walk together.
It's because in Father's heart,
the Duke of Ding and Empress Wan
are different from each other.
Could it be that all this
All this is for Jiang Mei Sun?
For the citizen, Mei Sun
could even empty his wealth.
He ignored his life
and had no friends or cronies!
But what did you and your mother do?
Who made me have a weak body?
Before disposing of me,
may I ask you this?
Since when
did you plan this?
The ruler.
Investigate this.
Who punished him?
Who harmed Mei Sun?
Don't let anyone go!
And the reign title.
(Below is the edict from the emperor.)
On this beautiful day,
the reign title
will be changed to Fengming.
Fengming?
How about using this
as the reign title?
It means to make the achievements
of the past generations known to all.
So that no one will doubt the laws.
Inherit the achievements
of the ancestors
and virtue shines
on the people.
Having strict laws to
dispel the injustices in the world.
I wonder if the Minister of Rites
will allow it.
Don't bother.
As long as we remember it.
Alright. As long as we remember it.
Measure the land,
remove the redundant officials,
pacify the wars,
suppress the tyrants.
Those ambitions of the past,
until he died,
I didn't realize any of it.
Before I die,
I got to give it a try.
But he is just an unrelated official!
But this unrelated official
sacrificed his life to save the country.
Instead, you, my flesh and blood,
tried to kill me to seize the throne
and killed the good officials.
Your Highness, do you really think
people like
Mu Chuan and the Duke of Jing
really value Your Highness
and support Empress Wan as the ruler?
They just wanted to use Your Highness
to enjoy eternal glory!
Those vermins in the imperial court
love and hate each other.
And they're all related
to the royal family.
That time,
when I pressed down
the incident at Futing,
I already knew that
you're not the only one who's guilty.
I want you to come out one by one
so that I can
remove all of you in one go.
You're cruel.
To ruin your wife and son's reputation,
to make your relatives who gained power
from their past achievements
to surrender their power
and submit to the law,
you put on a show for them
to hurt each other.
Your Majesty,
Prince Qing rebelled
and should be punished.
Should we summon the Jiying Guards?
Your Majesty, I believe
I made an achievement tonight.
I boldly request Your Majesty
to issue two favors.
Do you
want me to kill him?
Those who dare to
plot rebellion and treason
have long regarded
life and death as nothing.
What he was looking for
was a grand ambition.
What he did was trampling on
his father and brother.
I request for Your Majesty
to ground Prince Qing
in a three-foot secret room
that never sees the light of day
in the West Garden forever.
Send someone to report the achievements
of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince
one by one, to him every day!
No, I don't want it.
I don't want it! Father!
Take him away!
Just kill me. Father!
-Take him away, hurry!
-Please, just kill me!
Father!
Father, please kill me.
Father!
Even if Jiang Mei Sun was here,
he wouldn't dare to deal with
the prince for me.
You're bold.
Say it. What else?
Song Mo! What are you doing?
I, Song Mo, request to be exempted
from all titles and military merits.
I beg Your Majesty
to clear the innocence
of the Duke of Ding
and the Jiang family.
Of course, I will clear
the Duke of Ding's innocence.
But you
What are you doing?
What I'm asking for is not for myself.
It's for justice.
My life
was once for loyalty and filial piety.
After that, it was for revenge.
Until I met Dou Zhao.
She made me understand this.
When a deer hunter sees a rabbit,
he must be patient.
But when a deer hunter
sees the mountain,
he must be open-minded.
I don't have much time left.
I want to live for myself
and see that openness.
Little Song Mo.
Hold it.
Little Song Mo.
Do you really want to leave me?
An Su.
An Su.
I knew it.
You will be by my side.
An Su.
Why do you
betray me
after I fall in love with you?
Mu Yu.
I used to
cherish you very much, really.
The boy
who handed me a handkerchief
when I was in trouble.
How could you look down on her?
What's wrong
with her being a businesswoman?
She makes money with her brain.
That's way better than a lackey
from a wealthy family.
You know my vulnerability
and understand my difficulties.
Wipe your sweat.
This is the second time
you gave me a handkerchief.
That boy
During the festivals,
he would huddle
and looked at the lonely moon.
I once understood you
and admired you.
I will go and ask His Majesty
to annul the engagement.
I'm willing to marry you.
But now
you want me dead.
Dying in my hands,
you'll be more comfortable.
I hated you before.
But I don't want others to taint you.
An Su
If I could turn back,
would you forgive me?
During the incident
at the jewelry pavilion,
you've guessed the whole picture.
It's more of a gamble
than a guess.
If I lose the bet,
it's nothing more than dying faster.
If Your Majesty take over
the power as you wish,
you won't let me live long either.
Every time I see you,
it's like seeing me before coming here.
No.
We're different.
The person I love in this life,
I trust him.
Your Majesty.
His Majesty summoned
to see Your Majesty.
Now that it has come to this,
I feel disgusted seeing him again.
His Majesty said
if Your Majesty are ashamed to
face His Majesty,
Your Majesty should move to Qianxi
and never leave Qianxi forever.
Is he not abolishing my title?
His Majesty is magnanimous.
But I no longer want to
act in this play anymore.
And I don't want
this fake marital status.
Whether it's in hell or the afterlife,
I just hope that
I will never see him again.
Tell him this.
I ask to be abolished
and demoted to common people.
I ask for death.
Dou Zhao.
Goodbye.
Yan Tang!
Don't make me wait
for you outside the palace again.
I don't want to see
this cold palace wall anymore.
You can stop worrying about this.
I won't die.
Did the emperor give you the antidote?
Your Majesty.
Why did Your Majesty give
the only Snow Lingzhi to Song Mo?
That's your life-saving lingzhi!
Indeed, Snow Lingzhi has been extinct
for hundreds of years.
But the emperor
who established the country
once gifted Snow Lingzhi
to Wanfo Temple.
I risked my life to come here
because of this.
You have Snow Lingzhi,
but Grudgebane is poisonous of all.
Preparing the antidote
requires careful consideration.
It doesn't happen overnight.
I'm nearing the end of my life.
I don't need it anymore.
If Yan Tang has it,
he can protect You Sheng forever.
You're not young anymore.
Why do you still act like a child?
I can't even remember
the last time you cried.
That was more than 50 years ago.
That's right.
It's more than 50 years ago.
I want to walk by myself.
(The heavenly law is not far away,)
(and the condemnation is not in vain.)
(The fault of all)
(is mine alone.)
(Now I am in pain to blame myself)
(for giving the slandering
and flattery a chance)
(to wrong the loyal official
and punish the Jiangs.)
(God has condemned me
but I wasn't aware of my ignorance.)
(The people were complaining,)
(but I was not aware.)
(The emperor issued an edict
to take the blame himself)
(and the Duke of Ding and Jiang family
have been vindicated.)
(The cronies of Prince Qing
were executed for treason.)
(The following year, the Crown Prince
ascended the throne)
(and amnesty was given.)
(Ji Yong was promoted to
Minister of Personnel)
(and became the first Grand Secretary
of the new Grand Secretariat.)
(Wu Shan also returned to the capital)
(and was promoted to assistant minister
of the Ministry of Work.)
(The new dynasty implemented reforms.)
(It emphasizes on mulberrying,
and return the land to the people.)
(All officials are strictly inspected.)
(It was a brand new government.)
(Five Years Later)
(Granary Festival)
Go get the seeds.
Here.
Let's put more.
Let's have a bumper harvest!
We'll have a full harvest.
It's so high!
Yours is higher!
Pretty good.
The lot is cast.
The dynasty has changed
and many things waiting to be done.
Why did you retire?
I used to think that
healing the country is important
and by being the Grand Secretary,
I would not waste my life.
But now that I have become one,
I find it boring.
Spiritual practicing
is much more comfortable.
Only by letting go of your ego
can you feel at ease.
You're open-minded now
because of one person.
Nothing is real
beside karma.
This worldly past
is like passing clouds.
I hope you can understand
the cause and effect of the world.
Only then the troubles
will disappear on their own.
Father! Mother!
Wake up! Father! Mother!
Come and play with me!
Your daughter is calling for you.
She climbed trees
and caught fish yesterday.
She's only slept for a few hours.
Father! Mother!
Father! Mother!
Get up and play with me.
Father! Mother!
Get up and play with me.
Coming, coming
Father! Mother!
Go play in the yard
for a while first, alright?
I'll be there soon.
Father, Mother. Hurry up.
-Go.
-Slowly.
Teaching children
is more difficult than doing business.
It's more tiring than going to war.
We always said that
when the world is pacified,
we'd go for a trip to the mountains.
But what have we been doing?
Every now and then,
we'd be either repairing the broken wall
or the exploded garden.
We've been delaying it year after year.
Instead, Grandma has been
to many places over the years.
And she'll be back soon.
This time, we definitely
can go for an outing.
Why?
Have you forgotten?
Lian Jun will go to school soon.
You're right!
Let's arrange it.
Let's set off!
Mr. Feng was born into
a scholarly family.
He's ranked No. 4
in the Imperial Examination.
He's a poor boy!
How can he be worthy of Princess Anyu?
I came to evaluate the candidates
for the Ministry of Revenue,
not to choose a husband.
You'll have it if you choose one.
The eldest son of Taiyuan Bank
and Third Master Wan of
the Dongting Chamber of Commerce,
they truly admire you.
So what if they're wealthy?
The combined wealth
from the three of them
cannot be compared to Princess Anyu's!
The son of Marquis Dongping, Lord Han,
is good in both civil and military.
He has the perfect background.
He is a good match for Princess Anyu.
-He must be rich!
-Mr. Feng is better!
-Lord Han is better!
-The few of you
are chattering loudly.
Is this appropriate?
Gentlemen.
This thing in the portrait
can be used as a staple food.
It can also be used in making dessert
or wine, and grinding flour.
It can be planted in both
north and south of the country.
Whoever can calculate
the costs and profits
of growing and selling
this plant for a year,
I will choose him.
They're not diligent
and can't differentiate the grains.
No wonder people
say that scholars are useless.
I should just have you who is capable.
Tell them to leave.
Don't do this.
You must choose one of them.
This is the Empress' order.
The cob is huge!
Whatever Su Su brings for us
is not a problem for me.
Hurry, get the corn.
I want to fry with this.
Lotus root and corn,
is it a good combination?
Two things that don't seem to match
will create a unique flavor
when put together.
Don't you understand this?
I understand.
Just like us.
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
Whatever my wife says is right.
Stop flattering.
Hurry up. My grandma will be here soon.
Mother, you've been traveling
for three months.
I'm bad as I didn't keep you company.
The next time you want to travel again,
why don't you wait for me to have
days off so that I can travel with you?
Well, I'm healthy.
I have Tuo Niang taking care of me
so don't worry.
You've been promoted
and you're compiling scriptures
and histories for His Majesty.
You don't have the time.
Filial piety comes first.
I have time to spend with you.
I just hope that
you won't think of me as an eyesore.
I heard that recently
many people from the imperial court
wanted to help you find a partner.
But you rejected them.
I'm not young anymore.
Mother, stop arranging this for me.
Lately, I've been dreaming about Gu Qiu.
The magnolia tree in our old house,
it finally bloomed this year.
I made some magnolia wine.
If she was here,
she would definitely love it.
I told Shou Gu
to keep the matchmaking confidential.
How did you find out about it?
Great-grandma! Grandpa!
-My great-granddaughter.
-My lovely granddaughter.
Great-grandma knew everything.
But Grandpa, you don't know that
Great-grandma has a spy
in the residence.
Let me carry her.
Madam, didn't you buy a gift for her?
You're right.
My good great-granddaughter.
Let's go take a look, shall we?
Mother, what spy?
I bought a lot of specialties
This famous minister
is known for his strong character
and living a frugal life.
The imperial court gave him a carriage
to make it easier
for him to go to court.
But his son used his carriage secretly
to go to school.
Yang Zhen shouted to stop the carriage
and reprimanded his son for using
a court-issued carriage privately.
When he was young,
he was too lazy to walk to school.
How could he endure hardship
when he becomes an official?
Exactly!
That's right.
Knowledge comes from books
and the experience of the world.
An official should
learn from his experience too.
For the people
Jiang Shu.
When did Lian Jun leave?
(The Duke of Ding's Son)
When you mentioned
"knowledge comes from books
and the experience of the world",
Lian Jun slipped away.
She's just like her mother.
The flower is blossoming
and we have the wine with us.
What an unrestrained life!
We have the beautiful scenery
for the outing.
Just what you asked for.
What about wine?
It has the fragrance of magnolia!
Where did you get this?
The wine your father made.
I took it secretly.
The injustice is cleared up
and our wish for a trip to
the mountains has been fulfilled.
Shou Gu.
Let's make a new wish.
Sure!
Be loved up and stay together forever.
How's it?
Not so good.
My mother had the same book.
I don't want this.
My mother has told me
the story in the book.
It's not like
what's written in your book.
You can't say that.
What's in this book
may have happened before.
Maybe there were some
very great people in this world
who changed the fate
of the people in this book.
Not only those people
mentioned in the book,
they changed the fate of those people
who were not mentioned
in the book too.
The fate of thousands of people
in that land
was changed too.
So the book you read was different.
I don't understand.
I think you're a liar.
I'm leaving.
Stop lying to children.
I'll tell my mother about you.
Wait a minute. Girl.
If you don't like the book just now,
besides "Nine-Layered Purple",
I have "Ten-Layered Purple"
and "Eleven-Layered Purple".
Each book has a different ending.
Do you want to see other endings?
