The King of Blaze (Huo Wang Zhi Po Xiao Zhi Zhan / 火王之破晓之战)

"The King of Blaze"

"Episode 13"

I have an idea...

awaiting Your Majesty's evaluation.

Speak up.

I'm of the view that...

we can send out the Marriage Pacification Squad.

On the one hand,

we can stabilise the tribes of the Western Region.

On the other hand, we can send a reliable candidate...

as the ambassador of Marriage Pacification...

to help the investigation on the Flame Mirror.

Not bad.

It's indeed a practical idea.

However, it's a matter of great importance.

We must choose the candidate very carefully.

Your Majesty has always been wise.

Not only the ambassador...

must be meticulous...

and know about the Flame Mirror well...

he must also be capable of bearing huge responsibility.

He has to maintain the peace at the borders...

and investigate the Flame Mirror at the same time.

No bad.

With regard to the ambassador,

you should further discuss with others...

to look for the best candidate.

At Your Majesty's command.

As for the candidate for the marriage alliance...

Within the Lateral Courts,

we have a suitable candidate, right?

Your Majesty is referring to...

the daughter of the demoted concubine...

Princess Zhao Ping?

You've indeed grown up.

Finally you know how to take care of other people.

You're just like me.

The arrival of the Empress!

What are the two of you talking about?

Greetings, Mother.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Mother,

please have a seat.

You're just in time.

Our son is filial and kind.

We were talking about...

Zhao Ping's marriage arrangement.

He's right.

Zhao Ping has been staying in the Lateral Courts for many years.

She has reached the optimum age to get married.

It's time to marry her to someone.

Seems like our son shares the same thought with me.

I have come to see Your Majesty to discuss...

Zhao Ping's marriage arrangement.

Both of you are connected by heart.

Did both of you collude?

I'm guilty.

I'm in fear.

What are you doing?

I was just joking.

Don't take it too seriously.

Have a seat.

It's shameful to say so.

No doubt Zhao Ping's mother was unethical,

but Zhao Ping is Your Majesty's own flesh and blood.

She has been wrongly treated in the Lateral Court all these years.

I'm afraid I've been neglecting her.

It's not your fault.

Back then, because of that women...

Let's stop mentioning about her.

Zhao Ping is a Royal Princess after all.

Do you have any suitable candidate to be Zhao Ping's husband?

The ambassador of Tu Le sent us an official letter...

with the hope that both parties could maintain good relationship.

Tu Le Khan wishes to marry our Princess as his wife.

Tu Le?

The journey to Tu Le is hard and rough.

Mother,

Zhao Ping is a princess.

She is father's own flesh and blood.

Son,

are you accusing that I'm unmerciful?

I don't dare to.

I'm just of the view that...

Tu Le is far away from the Imperial City.

I worry that Sister Zhao Ping can't withstand the journey.

Why don't you enlighten us...

which part of Tu Le Khan...

is inferior to Zhao Ping?

Son, don't be rude.

Yes.

Empress,

how old is Tu Le Khan?

With regard to it,

I'd sent someone to get a line on it.

Tu Le Khan has just reached his twenties.

It is said that in Tu Le,

he is the expert in both civil and military skills.

The infamous beast rider in Tu Le was Khan's student.

I think...

marrying Zhao Ping to a person like him...

will never be a degradation to Zhao Ping.

Furthermore, he is Your Majesty's son-in-law.

He is also my son-in-law.

He is also the son-in-law of the Imperial Court.

Of course I have to handle the matter with great care.

Tu Le Khan is indeed young and talented.

Great.

Empress, do as you think best.

With regard to Zhao Ping's dowry...

we must prepare properly...

to display the Royal Prestige.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

I'll make sure Zhao Ping...

get married with honour...

to display our Royal Prestige.

Great.

Son,

you may leave now.

Empress, tell me more about the Khan.

I shall take my leave.

Your Majesty.

Are you being serious?

What else?

Why would I lie to you?

My master had left the Imperial City.

He didn't bid me goodbye.

Immortals always appear and disappear as they wish.

I'm left behind alone.

Why did he simply leave?

I haven't had the chance to thank him.

When will he come back?

I don't know.

He didn't say a thing.

After this,

I wonder if I still have the chance to see him.

Don't be upset.

I plan to go on leave to visit my master.

I'll look for him.

If you have anything to say, you can tell me.

I can convey your message to him.

I want to thank him personally.

Why should I tell you?

What? Are you keeping secrets?

Brother.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Why do you look upset?

I was well-intentioned but I did something wrong.

My lady, we better go back first.

I won't leave until I see the Abbot.

Why are you making noise?

Abbot.

My name is Situ Feng Jian.

I work in the Astrological Bureau.

I was the person who kept the Crown Prince accompanied...

during our trip to Ba Fang Pagoda.

One will search high and low...

only to find it when one least expects to.

Due to your poor escort at Ba Fang Pagoda,

we lost Flame Mirror.

I'm here today...

to make up to my mistake.

I hope I can make amends for my previous fault.

Make amends?

I'm about to inform your Emperor to get you punished.

Unexpectedly,

you came here by yourself.

The incident...

went beyond our power.

Furthermore,

we've found the thief of Flame Mirror.

It's done by The Black Gowns.

Even if so,

it's still not adequate to cleanse your sins.

Flame Mirror was lost by the Crown Prince and his subordinates.

Now, the Tu Le people are plunged into misery and suffering.

The Prince can hardly absolve himself from the blame.

Abbot, I'm here with the aim to find back Flame Mirror.

If you're capable of finding it,

you should find it out as soon as possible.

You're here...

to buy more time for yourself.

You're trying to avoid your responsibility.

What is your plan?

I don't mean to be rude,

are these prayer beads...

a remembrance of the previous Abbot?

Outrageous!

It's indeed left behind by my senior.

It symbolises the status of...

the Abbot of Ba Fang Pagoda.

Abbot.

Can you lend it to me?

Well...

Why do you need it?

-I... -You've gone too far.

Guards, take her down!

My lady.

My lady.

It's the common name of the previous Abbot.
