In the court, a guy tells Sushim that they have biggest risk from Kalinga at the moment. Sushim already has a plan to tackle Kalinga. One trader also approaches Sushim. Are we not safe in Magadh anymore? Our cart was attacked and our money was stolen. Sushim demands to know who is responsible for it. The trader says they were traitors. They even killed one of our men.

Sushim refuses to tolerate this anymore. We will have to take some action asap.
Mahamadhya asks Sushim why he left from the court like this. You did not give any reaction on such a big concern. Sushim points out that it was actually their money. They were sent to Avanti on Ma’s orders but they stole it all. Pardon me as I could not update you about it. there are more to be sent to Avanti but if this continues then we will go bankrupt. We have to track them down asap. Mahamadhya has no clue about their whereabouts. Sushim wants to find all those people who are refugees. The attackers are from that group only. We can only reach them through Ashoka. Call him asap.
Sushim asks Ashoka about the place where people have taken refuge. They have not just stolen our stuff / money; broken our rules but also killed one of our soldiers. I want to give them death sentence. Ashoka asks him if they penalized the people from the court or higher authorities who snatched away everything from those refugees. Those people are also the culprits. They have and are still killing people daily. Those refugees would have stolen the money to help the needy. Punish those corrupt officials first. The revolutionaries will not do something like this again! Sushim talks about the evidences which point no finger at any official.
A courtier seconds it. You are actually stopping us from doing justice by not telling us the truth. Ashoka talks about humanity which comes before being a royal. We should understand their problem. Extend your hand to them so they can trust you. you will have to take the first step. Sushim insists upon knowing the location of the culprits. We don’t need your lecture. Both the brothers support two different ideals. Sushim threatens to make him his convict once again in case he wont help him. Ashoka refuses to tell anything about the refugees to his brother. Enough injustice has been done to them already. Sushim does not want to do anything that can make him look over the fact that he is his brother. Ashoka does not want to stop him from following his dharma. Sushim takes his silence as a signal that he knows their location. Ashoka affirms. I know it all but I wont tell you. This makes Sushim angry. This will be considered rebellion. Ashoka stays put. If you do justice to those revolutionaries then I will tell you everything. Sushim gets him arrested. Ashoka smiles at his brother when the soldiers take him away.
Chanakya nurses the wound on his hands. Samrat Bindusar notices him in pain and rushes to his side. What happened to you? Acharya Chanakya shares that Ulka very smartly scratched him while helping him in cleaning hands. I have no doubt that she is a Vish Kanya. This poison is the living proof of it. She has tasted every possible and dangerous poison. Maximum poison does not affect me but this poison is that particular poison which can possibly kill me. She is here for some very important reason. She is trying to kill me by trying her poison on me. Samrat wants to bring Raj vaid but Acharya tells him that the Raj Vaid went missing under mysterious circumstances recently. Samrat Bindusar regrets trusting Ulka. Please forgive me Acharya. Things would have been different if I had listened to you on time. I will get a special Vaid for you. I will also ask the soldiers to hold her captive. Acharya Chankya tells him that no Vish Kanya kills anyone for any personal reason. She might have done it on someone’s askance. She will not tell us anything even if we arrest her. We have to find that person who has sent her here. We will have to do it very smartly. You will have to be very careful of her. She should not come close to you under any circumstances. Secondly, spread this rumour that this poison has almost taken me to my death bed. I don’t know a solution for it. Ulka should know this. I cannot get myself treated as it will alert Ulka. We wont be able to reach that main person then. we have to increase her confidence so much that she gets in her comfort zone. I know what to do next. Be alert. Don’t make it evident to her in any way that you know all this.
Rani Charumita comes to meet a lady who does black magic. Charumita is ready to go to any extrent to get what she wants. The lady marks a cut on her hand. Charumita ends up screaming in pain. The lady tells Charumita that she will have to bear a lot of pain to actually do what she is thinking. Such tantra knowledge has not been used since long. Are you mentally and physically ready for it? A small mistake can also make you lose your everything. Are you ready to take such a big risk? Charumita is ready to bear anything to get Dharma and Ashoka out of her life. The lady nods. Get ready to bear the extreme kind of pain. It will make you shed tears of blood. This journey will be full of tortures and unbearable pain.
Sushim gets Ashoka’s hands and feet tied. He adds something in the water. He gives another chance to Ashoka. Why do you want to hurt yourself? Ashoka does not mind any of it. I like this colour. Sushim pushes him in water. One end of the rope is tied to a stone. Ashoka becomes dizzy after struggling for a while in water.
Devi Dharma is looking for Ashoka. She meets Rajmata Helena. Have you seen Ashoka? Rajmata says this palace is so big that you cannot even hear the scream coming from another corner of the same palace. Since Bindusar accepted you and Ashoka, so much wrong has happened to both of you. He was beaten with a hunter. The rights of a prince were also snatched away from Ashoka. He should have been respected even if he was not a prince. I worry for him. He can do anything by being aggressive. He needs help. You both will have to fight this darkness together. if anything happens to either of you? There is an inner fight going on here all the time. No rules are followed for this. Everything is fair in this fight. Everyone wants Magadh. Not everyone can sacrifice her son for gaining Magadh. She walks away. I will make Siamak win in this fight between Sushim and Ashoka. Devi Dharma gets all the more worried.
After a while, Ashoka gets tired of struggling in water. Sushim gets him pulled out of the water by a soldier. The soldier gets all the water out from Ashoka’s body by pumping at his stomach. Ashoka is in a semi unconscious state. Sushim asks him about the revolutionaries / refugees. Ashoka tells him the truth this time.
Devi Dharma spots Sushim. Did you see Ashoka? He was looking for you ony. Sushim lies to her that he is also looking for him. Tell him that I want to talk to him about something important if you meet him. Devi Dharma gets all the more worried.
Sushim gets ready to attack on those refugees alone. Mahamadhya gives him Agradoot’s sketch. I am going to look for him along with a few soldiers. Sushim tells him that he will lie to Samrat when he returns. I will say that I went to talk to them on peace. Mahamadhya thinks of Ashoka. What if he finds out about this? Sushim wants him to make sure Ashoka does not come out of his room. It will be very late till he gains conscious.
Ashoka gains conscious. He thinks of what had happened just before he lost conscious. He asks the soldiers who took him out. I was drowning. They take Sushim’s name. They dint want to drown you. He mixed bhang in the water so you speak out the truth. He wanted to know about the location of those refugees. Ashoka is shocked to realise that he told his brother everything under the influence of bhang. I will have to save them. He tries to go but they stop him from going out.
Samrat Bindusar is getting impatient. What are you waiting for Acharya? Acharya Chanakya knows that Ulka is aware of this fact that this poison will kill me before sunset. Vish Kanya makes sure if the person has died by her poison or not. She will surely come before evening. Samrat Bindusar is concerned about him. What if something happens to you before she comes? Acharya Chanakya can take care of himself till then.
The soldiers leave Ashoka in his room.
Samrat Bindusar asks his soldier to keep an eye on Ulka. It is about sunrise. She will certainly do something. Take care of Acharya. Nothing wrong should happen to him.
Two soldiers are right there inside Ashoka’s room so they can keep an eye on him. He wants to reach there before his brother but does not know how!
Sushim and his soldiers are on their way to the campsite. They are all his loyal soldiers. Before leaving for the expedition, he had made them all cut their tongues by their own hands. He had also killed the one soldier who was hesitant to do so.
Ashoka feigns to experience tremendous pain. One soldier rushes out to summon Vaid ji. The other soldier helps Ashoka in lying down on the bed. Raj Vaid checks Ashoka. I cannot understand what is happening to him but he ate or drank something which is making him feel uneasy. Ashoka tells him about the green water which he was forced to drink. I don’t know what was inside it. I doubt them. They can mix something in my water again. they want to kill me. Raj Vaid threatens them to speak the truth or he will tell everything to Samrat Bindusar. They confess that they did not intend to hurt Ashoka. We only followed the orders of Sushim. Vaid feeds water to Ashoka. Now take some sleep. Ashoka says I cannot sleep if they are around. I will fear their presence all the time. They can harm me. Vaid sends them outside. It is my responsibility to cure Ashoka. If he cannot sleep because of you two then my medicine wont affect him. He will still under the effect of whatever you have given him. Anything can happen to him. You will be held responsible. The soldiers close the door from outside.
The lady marks a cut on Charumita’s hand. The blood falls in a pot. She asks Charumita to make a chapatti out of this flour and feed them. You have to first get the mother in your grip. You can the do the same to her son. Charumita finds it very easy. The lady tells her that she has to make them eat the roti with her hands. They must not doubt you at all. If they eat it after trusting you completely then only will the tantra affect them. It will not have any effect on them if they doubt you even a bit. You have time till sunset to feed this roti to Dharma.
Sushim and his soldiers are still on their way. Ashoka too is on his way to reach the Kaali Pahadi to help the refugees. He falls down from his horse in between. He starts running.
Samrat Bindusar paces anxiously. Please don’t do it Acharya. The poison is spreading fast. Acharya talks about willpower which can make anything happen. Samrat Bindusar can only see the poison spreading. Acharya clears it that his willpower is to actually bring Ulka here.
Samrat Bindusar is not interested in finding about his enemy. I will arrest her. I cannot put your life in risk. Acharya denies. She knows that her poison will not let me see the sunset. She will come to check on me. Wait for a little more time. Keep visiting blastersseries.com for fastest updates.
