=Episode 13=

So, you and His Majesty have switched bodies.

So, the Yu currently in the palace

is actually His Majesty?

I didn't expect you to recognize me right after using the counter thrust.

It's our family's ancestral martial art.

If you're not my daughter, how could you do it?

I taught you how to perform a counter thrust.

Even if you might have taught His Majesty,

his subtle techniques couldn't perfectly match yours.

Father, I knew I couldn't hide it from you.

Now you understand why I had to personally lead the troops.

You have to enter Dada to get the second volume of the book.

It's to get you and His Majesty to switch back.

Exactly.

Alright. I can still fight.

We'll advance straight to Dada,

retrieve that volume, and then return home.

Great. If it were anyone else,

they would take the chance to overthrow the dynasty.

Nonsense.

Father, I was joking.

After following me this long, won't you tell me the truth?

What have you noticed?

I care more about what you can do for me.

I can help you defeat the allied forces of Dada and Houyi.

Very well. Let's cooperate fully.

Help me repel the enemy.

And I'll help you reclaim your throne.

(Huna, Queen of Dada)

You knew all along?

Six months ago during a civil strife, your brother seized your throne.

You thought it was well hidden, but I knew long ago.

But how could you be sure I was Queen?

This item only belongs to Dada's Queen, right?

Back in the palace,

I reviewed many memorials about Dada.

I'm not entirely ignorant about you.

I can help you regain your throne,

as long as you pledge eternal peace between our nations

and recognize Chen as your suzerain state.

You're no ordinary general. Who exactly are you?

Xiao Jinyun, the Emperor of Chen.

They say Chen's Emperor is weak.

I never imagined you'd personally fight. Quite courageous.

But

why do you trust someone abandoned by their own nation?

You evaded royal assassins all this way,

proving you're not without allies.

I believe you possess the resources to turn the tide.

And I am your greatest asset.

The alliance of Dada and Houyi is fundamentally fragile.

My mole in Dada's army

can make Dada and Houyi turn against each other anytime.

I also know a secret passage to Dada's royal court.

Xu Yu and Dada's Queen, Tatar Huna, cooperate to attack Dada's royal court.

(Xu Yu and Dada's Queen, Tatar Huna, cooperate to attack Dada's royal court.)

The Queen?

Xu Yu's move is far too bold.

Jinyun.

You're focusing on the wrong thing.

What did I overlook?

Jinyun, the key point of this letter

is the Queen of Dada. How old is she?

What does she look like? How does she dress up?

How does she speak? How much meat per meal?

What kind of men does she prefer?

Jinyun, if you miss Xu Yu, just let her know.

Why not write her a letter

and tell her how much you miss her?

Ahan, they've been here.

Yes.

(Abuhun) Huna, I sent you off.

You shouldn't have returned.

My father left the throne to me. Why shouldn't I reclaim it?

Abuhun, you promised my father

to guard Dada's borders and the royal city's peace.

Have you fulfilled it?

But you shouldn't associate with faithless Chen people.

What are you talking about?

Faithless?

There must be some misunderstanding.

I'd sooner believe in animals

than in the Chen people.

What exactly happened?

Days ago, an envoy of Chen was sent,

requesting a truce, and claiming their Emperor sought peace.

I agreed.

Yet they destroyed our rear provisions

and slaughtered the escorts.

Impossible.

Chen's Emperor

would never send envoys to propose a truce.

It was a way to divide us.

If you doubt me,

I'll have General Xu show you recent military reports.

I trust him.

But to convince Dada's warriors,

you must surpass him in strength.

Compete to hit that military banner.

The loser must accept cooperation.

At this distance, no one can hit it.

Let me try.

It was broken.

Your Majesty, allow me to greet you on behalf of my master.

We're old friends. No formalities needed.

(King JiJi) What will you offer me this time?

Three cities.

What?

If you keep Xiao Jinyun bogged down in the desert,

my master will have ample time to usurp.

The first thing after seizing the throne

will be giving three cities to you.

He will take the entire Chen, but will only give me three cities?

That's not enough.

Well...

Your Majesty.

Houyi has betrayed us.

They turned on us mid-battle. Our frontline forces are depleted.

My central army has to split forces to fight Houyi,

and we're barely holding against Chen's army.

Houyi...

Since Houyi can't be trusted,

why not accept my master's proposal?

Let Chen fall into chaos too.

Wouldn't that ease your current crisis?

Abuhun, focus your central army on resisting Chen's forces.

I'll deploy troops to counter Houyi.

Tell your master that I'll take the three cities.

Yes.

Everything proceeds as planned.

The King JiJi sent his royal soldiers to fight Houyi.

Dada Palace now has minimal guards.

Huna.

We'll enter through the secret passage to prevent your brother's escape.

Okay.

Abuhun, delay the royal forces first.

Spare those who surrender.

As you command.

My foolish brother truly is incompetent.

He fell for it so easily.

What a fool.

After Huna reclaims the throne, you must return immediately.

Chen's traitor is about to act.

They indeed started a scheme to divide us.

We end this swiftly.

Xu Duo, hear my order!

Yes?

After Huna and I enter the royal city,

you lead our forces to storm the palace.

We swear to follow Your Majesty to conquer Dada Palace!

- We swear to conquer Dada Palace! - We swear to conquer Dada Palace!

All warriors, hear my order!

Advance with me into Dada!

Giddy up!

Giddy up!

Giddy up!

Giddy up!

- Giddy up! - Giddy up!

Giddy up!

Giddy up!

How's my aim?

Who's there?

Show yourself!

Good shot.

But if you don't shoot my brother, he won't submit.

I'm here to discipline my useless brother.

Tatar Huna, I showed mercy for our sibling bond.

I sold you cheap as a dancer instead of killing you.

You'll get yourself killed.

Guards! Help!

No one's coming.

Your loyalists in this city are dead.

They pledge allegiance only to Huna now.

Huna! How dare you collude with the enemy!

As Queen of Dada, I've forged an alliance with Chen.

No more wars will be waged.

Your reign ends now.

His Majesty sends good news that King JiJi is dead.

Queen of Dada, Huna, pledges fealty to Chen

and sees Chen as their suzerain state.

His Majesty shall return soon.

- Long live His Majesty! - Long live His Majesty!

Rise, all of you.

- Thank you, Your Highness. - Thank you, Your Highness.

(Dada's regime has changed.)

(Xiao Jinyun must know about the plot to divide the two armies.)

(Once he returns safely, we're doomed.)

While His Majesty's triumph merits celebration,

Your Highness has committed adultery with Her Majesty

when His Majesty is away. That's a disgrace!

Is that true?

Marquis of Zhenbei! How dare you talk nonsense!

Prince Xiaoyao and Her Majesty have been intimate.

Such a rumor is already well known in the palace.

Brothers turn against each other.

Prince Xiaoyao intends to usurp.

Enough!

If it's a rumor, trace its source immediately.

How dare you

accuse me of baseless charges!

We'll await His Majesty's decision. Court dismissed.

To preserve Chen Empire's reputation,

please punish Her Majesty and confine her to Fengyi Palace.

Please punish Her Majesty and confine her to Fengyi Palace.

- Please punish Her Majesty - Please punish Her Majesty

- and confine her to Fengyi Palace. - And confine her to Fengyi Palace.

Nice try.

Your Majesty, there's a military report.

You may review any military reports.

It's from His... Her Majesty.

The Empress?

Father?

(Winter snow falls, reminding me of the frontier's bitter cold.)

(A short letter cannot convey how much I miss you.)

(Your Majesty fights personally.)

(I'm worried sick)

(that the frontier's harsh weather may harm your health.)

(May Your Majesty be well.)

(Do not exhaust yourself in battle and take good care of yourself)

(to reassure your people.)

Xiao Jinyun is so sentimental.

Xu Yu, why are you slacking off again?

Xiao Jinyun? It's bitterly cold here.

Who took you here? I'll punish them for this.

I guess you must be missing your Empress.

In Dada, whether men or women,

when they're in love, they show it openly.

You love your Empress. Others should envy that.

So there's no need to hide it.

Exactly.

In this regard, I should learn from your customs.

Royal marriages are rarely matters of choice.

I was even betrayed by my own brother.

To find true love as you have

is a hope I've abandoned.

That's because Dada has no woman like you.

I believe none deserves you.

Really?

Of course.

Come on, let's drink.

Come on.

Are you attempting a coup?

How dare you use baseless accusations

to target Prince Xiaoyao and the Empress?

Her Majesty held secret talks with His Highness in the garden.

She also accompanied him intimately while he read memorials in the study.

Many witnesses can attest to this.

If they secretly talked, how would you know?

Have you planted spies in the palace

to surveil His Highness and me?

I wouldn't dare surveil Her Majesty and His Highness.

So, you admit planting spies

to watch His Majesty's every move?
