=No Doubt In Us= (Adapted from the Manman comic No Doubt in Us)

=Episode 24=

Prince Ning spreads lies

to usurp the throne!

Seize him!

Jinyun, leave our uncle to me.

Time to settle our scores.

Xiao Jinyun, I'm your opponent.

You imprisoned Xu Yu in the palace.

You caused her death.

Today, I will avenge her.

Xu Yu is here, at your service!

No one noticed, right?

No one noticed.

Not even His Majesty.

But...

Why keep it from even His Majesty?

I didn't.

I left him a letter.

The Grand Preceptor would hint to him.

(Xiao Jinyun, I finally tricked you.)

(I'm not going to die.)

(Jiang Tang got the herbs Jinming found)

(and developed the antidote first.)

(Now, the situation in the palace is a deadlock.)

(One of us must break it.)

(I am the member of Xu family and your wife.)

(Whether it's the empire, )

(the Emperor, )

(or my husband, )

(it is my duty to save them all.)

(That's why I staged this act)

(to deceive everyone)

(and leave Chen and join the Xu army.)

(Now, let Prince Ning and his cohorts come out)

(and crush them at a time.)

Your Majesty.

Those two are gone.

How's it going?

Her Majesty and Huna will follow your orders

and arrive on the day of the rite.

You lowlifes dare dream of shaking Chen Empire?

Soldiers!

Seize the traitors!

Kill the rebels!

Xu Yu.

You're back.

I was careless.

You faked your death.

With villains like you still at large,

how could I possibly die?

His Majesty set this trap

just to expose your vicious ambition to the world.

Xiao Jinyun.

I don't believe in Heaven's pity.

I only believe in our unwavering love.

My husband will be protected by me.

You infected the city for selfish gain!

Thanks to the antidote,

the people are safe.

My two brothers

have blocked your remaining mercenaries outside the walls.

Prince Ning, if you don't surrender now.

I will execute you immediately for those innocent lives.

A sacrifice to the people.

Don't celebrate too soon.

The armies of the Prince of Luoyang and Prince of Zhennan will arrive today.

You still can't hold the capital.

Is that so?

Marshal Xu's victory report!

Working with Dada,

they crushed the barbarians.

The Prince of Luoyang and the Prince of Zhennan returned to their domains.

How can this be?

The reason I stand here today

is not just the Xu army guarding our empire,

but countless soldiers who yearn for peace

and fear no death,

and our people who cherish every day even in the simplest of lives.

Isn't a ruler yearning for the people's peace and prosperity

and a world without war?

So, you will lose.

Xiao Jinyun!

10 years ago, I didn't seek power against you.

Your father killed my wife's family on false charges.

I begged him desperately,

but he still killed them.

Now, taking his son's life is only fair!

If anyone is wrong, it's you!

You wronged me first!

Absurd!

You and they clearly fought for the throne.

Now, things happened,

and you wash your hands clean.

Pitiable is Princess Ning's family.

Each was loyal and righteous.

Not one named you, even in death.

But they faced extermination.

Your ambition killed them!

Y-You're twisting the truth!

Your letter of repentance to my father is still here.

It clearly states you were coerced by treacherous individuals

and were completely unaware.

Doesn't your conscience trouble you even now?

Xiao Jinle!

Insane. You killed your father.

And now, you're laughing?

I got my revenge right this time.

Shouldn't I be laughing?

Xu Yu.

Back then, you saved me.

I vowed to rescue you from this gilded cage of a palace.

I thought you were dead,

so I planted explosives here.

Today, no matter who sits on the throne,

everyone here must die!

They will all join you in death!

But now, you're alive.

We shall go to die together!

If we cannot live together,

we shall die together.

You're wrong.

No one will die today,

except you all.

Your Majesty,

all explosives here have been removed.

All is safe.

Another traitor.

Xiao Jinyun!

Do you think this was my only plan?

(As long as I kill the Grand Preceptor of Chen, )

(the entire palace will fall under my sorcery.)

Evil sorcery.

Your death won't be mourned.

Don't dirty

my place.

You small fry!

Her Majesty set the trap long ago,

just waiting

to catch you all!

Your Highness,

did we truly defend Ci'an Palace on our own?

Of course!

We have trained in martial arts!

We are formidable!

Your Majesty,

I have fulfilled my duty.

I held the harem for you.

If you think you've sent men to attack Ci'an Palace

and that the women of the harem are all weak,

you are wrong again!

And you'll pay the price for your actions!

His Majesty has decreed to restore the consorts' freedom.

They will be returned to their families as imperial sisters,

and they may marry as they wish.

Their Majesties will see them wed with princess rites.

With such favorable terms,

why aren't you leaving?

You're no different.

You don't return.

What?

Still hoping His Majesty will favor you?

I am now a Female Secretary personally appointed by His Majesty!

Her Majesty secured this for me.

I now manage palace affairs.

In the future, I will assist Her Majesty in selecting female officials.

From now on, female officials in Chen can also serve in government.

Men? Who needs them?

My father will need me to bring honor to our family soon!

Dear,

how about giving me a palace official position?

How about we build our careers together?

That's it!

The other feudal lords

did not object to confiscating Prince Ning's estate.

The Chen Empire now enjoys internal stability.

The northwest is pacified.

Huna is spreading your majesty far and wide

to cow the tribes.

Now, the borders are secure.

Xu Yu.

We met as kids.

If I hadn't kept my distance back then

and instead remained close with you,

the court wouldn't have stood for our marriage,

let alone making you the Empress.

What do you mean?

I mean,

if we had always been a loving couple,

the court would have viewed you and your family as an eyesore.

I did not want that.

Are you saying...

I mean,

I might have started paying attention to you in secret

when I first knew you.

Later, when you came to my palace to see me time and again,

I became even more certain

that I liked you.
