[The Lament of Autumn]

[Episode 23]

[Yu Mansion]

What are you doing?

You did this?

What?

For a half-dead woman,

you want to fight your dad to the death?

I never expected

a dignified commander-in-chief

to use such despicable means

against a

weak woman on her sickbed.

Whoever tries to ruin

my son,

I will make sure they die a horrible death.

Commander-in-Chief Yu,

then listen carefully:

if anything happens to Ye Pingjun,

I promise

you will lose your son.

Insolence.

Ye Pingjun is my

lawfully wedded wife.

No matter what harm she suffers,

I will stay by her side.

If you want to take her life,

take mine first.

Changxuan!

What are you doing?

Whatever it is,

-can't you talk it out? -Let go.

Do you have to resort to weapons?

Take this!

Father.

Listen carefully.

I am not Mingxuan.

I am in control of my own life.

Zhongquan.

Don't you see it yet?

He would give his life

for that girl.

Just grant his wish, will you?

Baoru.

He has lost his mind.

Don't be like him.

Don't you understand what's at stake?

If he marries Ye Pingjun,

his future will be ruined.

The Yu family will be ruined as well.

But we have already

made a mistake.

Are we going to make another?

What mistake?

I've been thinking all these years

that if back then,

we hadn't forced Mingxuan

to take over the Yu Army

and had let him

choose his own path,

or if we hadn't forced him

to marry someone he didn't love,

maybe he would have

come home from the battlefield.

Perhaps

he wouldn't have become

the son you expect him to be,

but at least he could

stay by our side.

As his parents, shouldn't we bear

the greatest responsibility

for what happened to Mingxuan?

I'm doing this for his own good,

so that he can smoothly

take over the Yu Army.

You're doing it for his own good,

but is it really what he wants?

Don't forget,

you are not just

the Commander-in-Chief of the Yu Army.

You are also the father of our children.

I don't want the tragedy to repeat itself.

Let him go this once

and let him choose for himself,

alright?

[Wedding]

[Marriage Certificate]

[Name]

[Name: Yu Changxuan]

[Wedding]

Pingjun.

We are married.

From today on,

I am your husband.

And you are my wife.

I, Yu Changxuan,

will never fail you in this life.

[Marriage Certificate]

We've planted lots of new flowers

in Fengtai's courtyard.

Peonies,

roses,

and even your favorite hostas.

When you wake up,

I'll make them into the sachets you like.

Something suddenly reminded me today

of a line I memorized as a child:

"Just as the lamp has finally been lit,

rain beats against the pear blossoms, and the door remains shut."

You must have memorized it, too, right?

[Ren'ai Hospital Medical Record]

[Yu]

Deputy Commander is here!

Have a seat.

[Yu]

Greetings, Commander!

Master Jin.

Master Jin, wanna join us?

Bravo!

Bravo!

Director Liang, there's a letter for you.

[Chunfeng Troupe Repertoire]

Okay.

[Please assist in relocating 3 patriotic cultural figures.]

[Happiness]

It's been snowing non-stop

since yesterday.

This is the first New Year's Eve

we've spent together.

I made you some

fennel dumplings.

I don't know if you'll like them.

I just learned how to make them, so I'm not very good at it.

Is it okay?

[Fengtai]

[Fengtai]

Let's eat.

Wanxuan.

Qixuan.

Eat up.

Extra! Extra!

Cheng Jun bribed his way to the presidency

and was impeached and forced to step down!

[Cheng Jun Bribed His Way to the Presidency, Then Was Impeached and Forced Out]

Extra! Extra!

Cheng Jun bribed his way to the presidency

and was impeached and forced to step down!

Extra! Extra!

Extra! Extra!

Cheng Jun bribed his way to the presidency

[Cheng Jun Bribed His Way to the Presidency, Then Was Impeached and Forced Out]

and was impeached and forced to step down!

Attack!

Commander.

As early as two years ago,

Changxuan already predicted this.

He overruled all objections

and refused to put our Yu Army

under Cheng Jun's command.

Otherwise, we would be

just like Chu Wenfu today,

at a disadvantage.

Gu.

We've been friends for many years.

I can be honest with you about some things.

I acknowledge Changxuan's

judgment and wisdom.

He is the Deputy Commander-in-Chief now.

In the future,

he will definitely lead

the Yu Army.

As his uncles, you guys

must support him.

As long as Changxuan

doesn't mind us

old fogeys,

we will definitely follow his lead.

Over the years,

Ruitong has helped Changxuan a lot.

Your son

will be Changxuan's

right-hand man in the future.

Ruitong doesn't even come close.

Bingwen has an outstanding military record.

He is your son-in-law

and Changxuan's brother-in-law.

In my heart, you are all my family.

I make no distinction between you.

Thank you, Commander.

But with Cheng Jun stepping down this time,

Chu Wenfu's power has weakened again.

I'm afraid that at this time,

Mu Linsen will extend

an olive branch to him.

If they join forces,

we will be threatened from both sides.

This is also

what I am worried about.

After Changxuan

gets to lead the Yu Army,

he won't be able

to count on winning against

these cunning old foxes.

Military Governor Chu, I'm truly flattered

by your great hospitality.

After so many years,

this is the first time

we've eaten alone at the same table.

Try the mutton here.

It's fresh and not gamey.

I also brought some peanuts

to make this meal more enjoyable.

[Yu] [Osaka Arsenal] [Hanyang 88]

Yu Changxuan went to

the German Consulate today

to discuss acquiring the ironworks.

He wants to update

his arsenal.

The situation is already clear.

There's no need for us to beat around the bush.

Military Governor,

I hope

our two families

will be breaking bread together

in the future.

The foundation of cooperation is trust.

The foundation of cooperation is mutual interest.

For the Sandaohe Gold Mine,

you get 60% and I get 40%.

Your people

will take over the collection of customs duties in the Pingsui area

and the authority to protect merchants.

Here.

After Cheng Jun stepped down,

the Northern Air Force under his control

moved its remaining planes

to the Tianjin Concession.

Last night,

Wu Zuoxiao successfully intercepted

3 planes

and forced them to land

using our newly deployed anti-aircraft guns

and the terrain to our advantage.

We seized not only the planes,

their unassembled

bombs,

and maintenance equipment,

but also we seized

the secret agreement between Cheng Jun

and an Italian arms dealer.

Next,

Nanhuai Arsenal

will work with senior technicians

to dismantle the liquid-cooled engines

of the Fiat bombers

and modify them

to better withstand

extreme cold.

We'll also adapt the Liao 13 rifles

produced by the arsenal

into aircraft-mounted machine guns

to address our lack of aerial firepower.

Yes!

The Young Madam is awake?

The Young Madam is awake!

The Young Madam is awake!

The Young Madam is awake!

Changxuan.

About the arms dealer

who sold defective goods,

we've now found some clues about him.

We've confirmed that he fled to the border near Heihe.

We should be able to catch him soon.

For over two years,

this man has hidden very well.

Now that he's reappeared...

Keep him alive?

Yes.

We'll handle things here at the headquarters.

Go back early to take care of your wife.

During this time,

you've shared so much of my burden.

Thank you for your hard work.

Hello.

This is the headquarters.

Fifth Young Master.

Speak.

Fifth Young Master Yu, this is Xiaotang.

The Young Madam is awake!

[Bend and Flow Freely]

I've made myself very clear.

Deputy Commander Yu,

please leave me alone.

What if I insist you stay with me?

Do you want what happened

at Fengtai to repeat itself?

Fifth Young Master must be back.

Fifth Young Master.

Fifth Young Master.

You're awake?

Who are you?

Fifth Young Master.

Since the Young Madam woke up,

she's been like this.

It seems she doesn't remember anything.

Pingjun,

don't you remember me?

Look at me carefully.

I am Yu Changxuan.

Yu Changxuan?

Pingjun?

Yu Changxuan...

Pingjun!

What's wrong with you, Pingjun?

Young Madam.

Alright, alright.

Let's not try to remember for now.

Come on.

Let me help you lie down and sleep for a while.

Come on.

Careful.

Come on.

Careful.

What's her condition now?

Fifth Young Master Yu.

The Young Madam inhaled

an excessive amount of smoke,

causing severe hypoxia in her brain.

This resulted in severe blood stasis,

which caused memory loss.

When will she recover?

The risk of surgery is extremely high.

We can only wait

for the blood stasis to clear up on its own.

She may show some improvement

within a few months,

but she...

may also never recover.

Young Madam, you're awake?

Careful.

Young Madam,

are you feeling better?

Fifth Young Master had these flowers sent over.

He said your room should be filled with

fresh flowers every day.

That person just now...

Who was he?

That was Fifth Young Master Yu,

your husband.

He's the formidable

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Yu Army in Nanhuai.

Husband?

But why...

can't I remember anything?

When Fifth Young Master brought you back

from the hospital,

he said you were injured in a fire and fell into a coma.

You've been in a coma for over two years.

Over two years?

The doctor said

you might never wake up.

But Fifth Young Master insisted on marrying you.

He even told the Master

that even if you never woke up,

he would take care of you for the rest of his life.

You don't know

how good Fifth Young Master is to you.

For the past two years,

he has taken care of you tirelessly.

He massaged and wiped your body every day.

He wouldn't even

let the kitchen prepare some of your medicines.

He brewed them himself and stayed by your side to feed you.

Look.

He set up his bed right next to yours

so he could take care of you easily.

Fifth Young Master Yu.

The Young Madam inhaled

an excessive amount of smoke,

causing severe hypoxia in her brain.

This resulted in severe blood stasis,

which caused memory loss.

Fifth Young Master!

Fifth Young Master.

The Young Madam says she wants to see you.

You are my husband?

Yes.

Xiaotang told me everything.

During this time,

it's you who's been taking care of me.

But I don't remember anything.

For this kindness,

I don't know

how to repay you.

We are husband and wife.

There's no need to talk about repayment.

The fact that you woke up

is the best thing

that could have happened to me.

Well...

How did we

meet each other?

Actually, it's a miracle she woke up.

She must not be subjected to any more stimulation.

Otherwise, the consequences could be life-threatening.

You were a student at Mingde Girls' School.

After graduation,

you became a copyist at Yuchun Theater.

When we first met,

we always bickered.

But fate works in mysterious ways.

We went through

a lot together.

Gradually,

we fell in love with each other.

So... what about my parents?

Your father

had another family

and didn't watch you grow up.

He works in finance

and is currently expanding his business in Nanyang.

As for the news that you've woken up,

I've already had someone

write to him about it.

And your mother...

My mother...

What happened to her?

Your mother suffered from a lung disease for years.

Although she had surgery,

her condition didn't improve,

and she passed away long ago.

You still have me.

I will always be with you.

I know you

can't remember anything right now.

No rush.

We have plenty of time.

It's not that hot anymore.

Drink your medicine first.

[Xiangxi Hotel]

I won! I won!

What's going on?

Big! Big!

Big! Big!

Big! Big!

Big! Big!

Big! Big!

Big! Big!

Big! Big!

You are my husband?

Yes.

What about my parents?

Your father had another family.

Your mother...

passed away a long time ago.

Drinking won't help.

You still have to face reality when you sober up.

Jin.

Did I really make a mistake?

If I hadn't

stopped her at the pier in the first place,

would none of this have happened?

That was just an accident.

But now,

about keeping this from Pingjun...

have you thought it through?

I know exactly what I'm doing.

I'm just being selfish.

I know it's wrong to do this.

I know I shouldn't have lied to her.

But I just can't let her go.

Then what do you

plan to do next?

I think this is a chance

Heaven has given me,

so we can forget everything

and start over.

Look at those gamblers downstairs.

They always want to settle everything in one bet

and change their destiny.

But how could life

be as simple

as a gamble?

Especially when it comes to love.

Once you lose the bet,

there is no chance to turn the tables.

Big! Big! Big!

Big! Big!

Open! Open! Open!

I won!

You have to live with

the consequences

of your own bets.

Miss.

You shouldn't practice your lines this late.

Fifth Young Master Yu is here.

He's drinking with Master Jin.

It's been a whole year

since he last came to hear me sing.

Now that he's here,

what does it have to do with me?

Please don't say that, Miss.

Fifth Young Master Yu is a busy man.

He is here now.

Isn't that a good thing?

Go back to sleep.

I'll go to sleep in a while too.

Miss.

Have you been busy with work?

You're coming back later and later.

Many children have caught colds lately.

The orphanage is short-staffed.

It's so late. Why aren't you asleep yet?

I was waiting for you.

You don't have to wait for me in the future.

I have to go to the clinic early tomorrow morning.

Get some rest early.

It's been cold lately.

Let me drive you tomorrow.

That way,

you can rest a little on the way.

You really don't have to.

You were a student at Mingde Girls' School.

After graduation,

you became a copyist at Yuchun Theater.

When we first met,

we always bickered.

But fate works in mysterious ways.

Gradually,

we fell in love with each other.

It's so late. Why aren't you asleep?

What?

Did you forget who I am again?

I didn't.

You are Yu Changxuan.

And?

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

I know that we

are husband and wife.

I'm also very grateful to you

for taking care of me.

But...

But I really can't

remember anything.

Can you give me

a little more time

to get to know you better

and remember

the love we shared?

That way, we can have a more natural

and harmonious relationship.

So?

So...

I really can't

sleep in the same room as you.

Could you please sleep in another room?

For over two years,

I've been sleeping in this room,

on this camp bed,

taking care of you night after night,

never leaving your side.

What?

Now that you're awake,

you want to kick me out?

I... I didn't mean that.

Don't be nervous.

I'm just kidding.

Actually,

you can sleep in another bedroom.

There's a bed over there.

You will be able to sleep

a little more comfortably.

You have trouble moving around.

How can I not worry?

Call me if you need anything at night.

Don't hesitate.

Go to sleep early.

For the past two years,

I've always hoped you'd wake up.

Now that you're really awake,

I don't know how to face you.

I heard you coughing a bit just now.

Have some pear syrup.

Where is Xiaotang?

Didn't she help you?

I just felt like

my fingers were weak,

so I wanted to practice on my own.

Let me.

No need.

Let go.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Once your hands are better,

I won't serve you anymore.

Done.

The doctor said

stringing beads is good for exercising your fingers,

so I prepared them for you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Try it.

It's okay. Try again.

Take your time.

I'll teach you.

Young Madam, do you want to play cat's cradle?

It's good practice.

Go get some roses.

But Fifth Young Master,

the roses haven't...

Just go.

What are you waiting for?

Keep going.
