[Episode 9]

Why do you avoid me?

Are you still mad at me

about Yelu Kang?

I'm not mad at you, Your Majesty.

I can't forgive myself.

I've made my promise

to return Yelu Kang to you.

You won't lose Ji'er too.

Why can't you trust me?

I know you're sincere about this.

And I know how helpless you are

behind your sincerity.

Why must you send Yelu Kang to the Court of Judicial Review?

Why didn't you give his custody over to someone you trust?

I don't need any honour.

I just hope Your Majesty, Yelu Kang and Ji'er

can be safe.

That would suffice.

You think that

I set you and Yelu Kang up?

Don't you?

I'm not staying at Du Yun Pavilion.

I couldn't share your burden

by your side.

Instead, I caused you trouble.

If that's so,

I'd rather be with Ji'er at the capital.

Outrageous!

How can you leave me for Ji'er now?

You're still my wife!

Isn't it better for me

to not be your wife?

Why must you do this, my lady?

Your Majesty, Lord Su is awaiting.

Summon him in.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Lord Su, His Majesty...

I understand.

Your humble servant Su Yi Jian pays respects to Your Majesty.

Yi Jian.

Why are you here

early in the morning?

I overheard some discussions within the imperial court.

They said that Your Majesty and Concubine Liu are in a dispute

over Yelu Kang.

Are you here to persuade me?

No, but...

The prince of Liao is still at the Court of Judicial Review.

May I know what Your Majesty's plan is?

I planned to blunt his edge

and teach him a lesson.

But he is in custody for two days now.

When do you intend to let him out?

Whenever he learns how to respect and

value Concubine Liu,

I will set him free.

I understand, Your Majesty.

You sent Yelu Kang into the Court of Judicial Review because

you were worried about Concubine Liu's safety.

But why can't Ying'er

understand me?

I sent him there

to help her.

Why can't she understand me?

Your Majesty. In my opinion,

your impression on Yelu Kang

is different from Concubine Liu.

What do you mean?

In Concubine Liu's eyes,

Yelu Kang is just a disobedient child.

He lost his mother and her care since young.

Hence, it was not his intention

to harm anyone with his actions.

As a newcomer in a different country,

he was unfamiliar

and felt insecure.

That was the reason that

made him act bizarrely.

Your Majesty, Concubine Liu treated Yelu Kang like her own

no matter how mischievous he was.

I believe in three years,

Concubine Liu will be able to help Yelu Kang.

Not only we would benefit

from educating him,

it would be good for our prince in Liao too.

So, I humbly request Your Majesty

to set Yelu Kang free as soon as possible

and entrust him to Concubine Liu.

As for his guidance,

I believe she would have a way.

I know.

It doesn't matter if it's Ji'er or Yelu Kang.

To Ying'er,

these are all her toughest trials.

You should tell His Majesty if you

can't bear to leave.

Give me the drum. Give it to me!

Are you leaving, Your Highness?

What do I have now besides from

plenty of memories?

But His Majesty loves you.

Isn't that enough?

But I can't do the same anymore.

How can you say that, Your Highness?

You can still give birth for His Majesty.

What is the use of not being together?

You mustn't leave, my lady!

How can you save Ji'er by yourself?

It's disastrous

if you insist to do so.

Your Highness.

If you're really concerned about Ji'er,

you have to stay and protect Kang'er.

I don't have to protect him.

But he is so mischievous!

Who knows what trouble will he cause next?

You can't abandon him, Your Ladyship!

-Your Highness! -Ji'er needs me too.

My lady. Can't you wait for three years?

Three years?

Would Ji'er really return after three years?

Even so,

could you bear to leave His Majesty?

Ji'er is also his flesh and blood.

He feels the pain too.

After witnessing disputes between fathers and sons,

would his own flesh and blood

mean anything to him?

Your Highness.

Hurry and report now!

The prince of Song is back!

Right away!

Ji'er pays respects to the Empress Dowager.

Are you hurt?

No.

You left the palace on your own without informing me.

Are you at fault?

Yes.

That's it. Tell me.

Where have you been these two days?

I...

I don't know.

You refuse to tell me?

I promised Sister Tie Jing

to keep it a secret.

You're committed in keeping your promise.

Well done, Ji'er.

I won't punish you today.

But from today onwards,

I forbid you to leave the palace

without my permission.

Understand?

Madam! Madam!

Hurry back with me, Madam!

You know.

I've been insecure since

Ji'er went to Liao.

Now that His Majesty took Kang'er away,

why should I go back?

Madam, Kang'er is rude to you.

His Majesty sent him to the Court

in fear of your safety.

When he realizes his mistakes,

he'll return to Du Yun Pavilion.

Stop your explanation.

His Majesty can teach Kang'er by himself.

I just need Ji'er by my side.

No, Madam! You can't go!

It's too dangerous!

Who would protect you

-if you need help? -Don't worry, I'll be fine.

No!

Look, Madam!

You're back, Ji'er!

Ji'er! Ji'er!

Nanny Wan'er!

-You're alright. -Nanny Wan'er.

I'm sorry, Nanny.

I didn't get to inform you

before Princess Tie Jing took me on a hunt.

We got separated after that.

And I met the Jurchens!

It's alright! You're safe now.

-Don't cry, Ji'er. -Nanny Wan'er.

You must let me know next time

before you go anywhere, alright?

I know.

I heard from my mother

that he's the Third Prince of Liao.

He was born by a nameless concubine.

I never thought he would share the same fate

with my Ji'er.

Kang'er?

Kang'er.

I followed the recipes of Liao cuisines

and made you some food.

I wonder if they taste the same.

Do you want to try them?

Kang Le.

You're not scared of him?

I do, that's why I'm giving him more meat.

If he goes berserk one day,

he might spare my life.

That's a good idea.

Kang Le.

Kang'er?

Respects to you, Madam.

You're here, Yi Jian.

Your wounds are not healed.

I brought you some herbs.

Please consume them on time.

The herbs in Shu

are always the best.

That's right.

My injuries are minor.

But I have a request for you.

Please speak your mind.

I want to get Kang'er a teacher

who can teach him sinology and ethics.

After some serious thought,

you're the best candidate for this.

I should naturally accept your request

if you have any for me.

But as a minister in court,

I might ruin your reputation

with my frequent visits,

and it would be offensive to His Majesty.

There are female servants well-versed in sinology and ethics.

I'll send them to you instead.

But I trust you the most.

Kang'er is not any ordinary person.

He not only needs a teacher,

but a well-mannered one too.

His Majesty told me

to have a bet with him.

He wanted to see if Kang'er can bring peace upon us.

I feel plenty of insecurities.

But I couldn't tell him.

I'm not betting on Kang'er

or a peaceful future.

But I'm betting on Ji'er.

His Majesty and I won't have a child again.

He is my only hope.

I understand.

Don't worry, Madam.

I'll find a way

to bring Ji'er back to you.

Your Majesty.

Wang Jun raised his flag with the rebels at Western Shu.

They are fiercer than the

previous rebellion led by Wang Xiao Bo and Li Shun.

Please do not underestimate them, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Wang Jun was a deputy legion master at Western Shu.

We shouldn't fight him.

We should summon him to surrender instead.

Your Majesty.

[Li Hang, Minister of Rites]

Wang Jun is in a frenzy now.

Your Majesty's messengers to summon him

were all killed.

We shouldn't continue to ask for peace.

Your Majesty, the Premier is right.

Wang Jun massacred and robbed the people

with the rebels after taking over Yizhou.

If the imperial court doesn't act,

more citizens would be implicated.

Pan Liang, come forth!

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'm naming you as the Peacemaker of the Plain Thieves.

Lead 50,000 troops to the plains!

Cao Li Yong, come forth!

I'm naming you as the Inspector of the Plain Circuits.

Gather the troops immediately

and join General Pan into the plains!

Your wish is my command!

[Cao Li Yong, Head of Inspection]

This letter...

reads Liao.

You can ignore me.

I won't know what you think

if you won't speak to me.

I know.

You must be missing your Royal Grandmother.

Royal Grandmother.

[Xiao]

Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao.

And I know,

you must've missed your mother more.

Liao.

[Liao]

Do you want to speak to your mother?

How about this?

I'll speak for you.

I'm here,

ignoring everyone.

I'm always with Kang Le.

I wanted to...

That means I'm wrong.

Why don't you write it?

Here.

I'll teach you.

Hold your brush lower.

Hold it like this and sit straight.

I'll teach you how to write your name.

Kang.

Use some force on the brush.

[Kang]

Do you miss me, Sha Er?

I specially brought you a fur blanket.

It's getting cold now.

You won't feel cold with the blanket on you.

You're the friendliest horse

friend I have in Liao.

Why did you cover it with a blanket?

My mother would cover me up

with a blanket whenever I'm sick.

It would feel uncomfortable now that it's injured.

So I covered it up with a deer fur blanket.

It would heal faster with the blanket.

People would think that

it's a deer instead.

What if...

they kill it?

Then I'll give him a tiger skin blanket.

Then,

no one would bully him.

Brother Mu Yi!

You're finally here, Brother Mu Yi.

I've been waiting for you.

Thank you, Mu Yi.

You're too modest, Your Highness.

Why don't you teach me the art of sword?

I saw that you were highly skilled in martial arts.

Take this.

Let me have a try

and see what you have up your sleeve.

Sister!

Come on!

I might hurt you, Your Highness.

It's not that easy!

Sorry for my insolence.

What a well-deserved reputation.

From now on,

you're my instructor.

Don't run away.

Look.

Is it beautiful?

Yes, it is.

Such intricate needlework

is a waste

for him.

If we're staying under one roof,

we shouldn't discriminate him.

Have some tea, my lady.

Is this for His Majesty?

It's for Lord Su.

He's lethargic these days.

He didn't even change.

If His Majesty knows about

your kindness to Lord Su,

he'll have doubts about you.

His Majesty is not a petty man.

But your words

would implicate Lord Su.

Madam.

Why did you sleep here?

He's still a child.

He left his hometown to a strange place.

He must be terrified.

I intend to keep him company.

But he fell asleep instead.

I was scared too when His Majesty sent him

to the Court of Judicial Review.

It's getting colder these days.

So I made a blanket for him.

Yi Jian, why don't you bring Kang'er

into the room?

We're almost done with our bath.

Madam.

I wish to take Kang'er for a walk in town.

Sure.

We can show him the Great Song capital.

Let's wear your clothes.

I'm not wearing this!

Kang'er!

I want to wear this!

-Come inside! -I want to wear this!

It's inside out, Kang'er.

Kang'er.

The two of you sacrificed many lives

to stop the rebellion.

Instead of ending it,

you boosted the rebels' arrogance!

If I spare the two of you,

how can I answer to the

valiant soldiers who lost their lives?

Your humble servant is at fault!

Your Majesty!

The rebellion moved southward.

I wish to lead the troops again

and wipe out the rebels with General Yang

to stop the revolution!

Your Majesty.

There are some aborigines living by the Tuo River.

The situation would be dire

if they answer to the rebels.

We mustn't cut our hands short.

May Your Majesty be magnanimous

and let Cao Li Yong amend his wrongs.

I'm willing to go!

I won't rest before I finish off the rebels!

How many troops do you want to sacrifice this time?

Step down, you two.

Your salaries are deducted. Repent at home.

After the rebellion ends,

you will receive your punishments.

Your wish is our command.

My fellow ministers.

Now that rebels of Western Shu are getting arrogant,

who is willing

to lead the troops against them?

Your Majesty.

I want to try.

You are Ding Wei, the literature scholar I nominated.

I named you an editor at the National Archives.

I conferred you as

the academician when I took the throne.

But I'm not sure if that artistic hands of yours

could pick up swords and spears.

Tell me.

How many troops do you need?

I would only need the command of

the garrisons of Yizhou and the nearby five districts.

I don't need other troops.

Pan Liang led 50,000 elite troops to battle

and lost its entirety.

How would you win with those garrisons?

How can you fool around like this in front of war?

If Lord Ding is so confident.

Your Majesty,

I think we can let him try.

The local garrisons

mostly did odd jobs in the army.

They're not prepared for war.

Academician Ding.

You made a daring request to me to fight

with the garrisons.

I'm asking you.

Do you dare to sign a military order?

Your Majesty.

If I couldn't end Wang Jun's rebellion,

I'm willing to accept death.

Send my words.

Ding Wei is named as the Vanguard Commander of the Plain Circuits.

The garrisons in Yizhou and the five districts are under his command

as of today!

Your wish is my command!

Kang'er!

Respects to Your Ladyship!

Long live Your Ladyship!

Stand up and show me.

It's really suitable.

Do you like it?

Yes.

But I'm not entering the palace.

You're going to the palace for me

and His Majesty.

If I follow your instructions,

would His Majesty allow me to stay with you?

His Majesty won't break his promise.

Your Majesty, it's that stubborn child again.

Your humble servant, Su Yi Jian brings Yelu Kang to

pay respects to Your Majesties.

We're here to congratulate the Second Prince's birthday.

Spare the formalities, Yi Jian.

Have a seat.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Come. It's your turn.

Respects to Your Majesties.

Long live the Emperor!

Long live the Empress!

Rise, Kang'er.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Seems like Kang'er has learnt the

palace manners well.

Consort Liu taught me well.

How are you at the Du Yun Pavilion?

What did Consort Liu teach you?

Your Majesty.

Normally in Du Yun Pavilion,

I would practice calligraphy and reading with Her Ladyship.

I'm reading Mencius now.

Her Ladyship

would also teach me palace ethics and manners.

Lord Su took me to town for

a scenic tour in the suburbs.

I learn something new everyday.

Consort Liu taught him well.

You'er, don't you have a present

for Kang'er?

Where is it?

Follow me, Brother Kang'er.

Look at them.

Xi Zi!

I guess he went to take my present.

Your little braids are funny.

Little braids?

Why is your head bald?

Our people are all like this.

It's interesting. I'd like to have one.

Xi Zi!

Xi Zi! Where have you been?

I was lighting it up, Your Highness.

Here.

Brother Kang'er.

This is a present for you.

What is this?

It's a revolving lantern. Haven't you seen one before?

It's fun.

It's too bright here.

I'll take you to a darker place to play.

-Your Highness. -You don't have to follow us, Xi Zi.

Yes.

Look.

It keeps spinning.

Isn't it amazing?

Isn't it fun?

It's fun.

This is not counted as fun.

I've played with so many of it.

What do you play

in Liao normally?

I never played with this before.

But I like wrestling.

And I like to hunt in the jungle.

Everything you say are so interesting!

But I...

have never stepped out of the palace before.

What?

You've never left the palace at all?

How about this?

I'll take you somewhere fun.

Follow me.

The children merely went out for the revolving lantern.

Why aren't they back yet?

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

I'll go search for them.

Look.

That's the gate of the palace.

As we step outside to the royal street,

the fun begins.

I've never been there before.

You went to more places than me

in such a short amount of time.

Let's go, I'll take you out.

We'll play at the royal street.

Your Majesties.

His Highness and Prince Kang are missing!

What?

Second Prince!

Where did they go?

Prince Kang!

Second Prince!

Prince Kang!

Kang'er!

Where are they?

Look at him!

Stop shouting!

Prince Kang!

Stop shouting!

-Second Prince! -Kang'er!

Come up here!

How did you get up?

-Come down! It's dangerous! -Come get us!

Hold him tight, Kang'er!

Hurry!

-Brother Kang'er! -Zhao You!

-Save me, Brother Kang'er! -Zhao You!

Brother Kang'er!

-Don't leave me here! -Zhao You!

Zhao You!

Second Prince!

-Second Prince! -Are you alright?

Your Majesty, Yelu Kang was instigated

to harm the Second Prince.

We must interrogate Consort Liu.

Nonsense! I didn't!

Yelu Kang didn't harm me.

He saved me.

The Second Prince is benevolent.

He doesn't know that he was cheated.

You must be cautious, Your Majesty.

That's enough.

Take the Second Prince back to the palace.

Father, it's not Yelu Kang's fault!

Yelu Kang saved me!

Father!

Don't malign Yelu Kang!

Regardless, Your Majesty.

Yelu Kang broke the palace rules.

The Court of Judicial Review must take charge.

If you need interrogation,

the Second Prince broke the rules too.

Should we interrogate him as well

like Yelu Kang at the Court of Judicial Review?

How can Prince Kang

be compared with the Second Prince?

Now that Prince Kang is in my palace,

he is my son.

Yelu Kang addressed Consort Liu as Her Ladyship.

I shall confer him the title of Duke Yan An today.

From now on,

I have one more child.

May none of you forget this.

Your wish is our command.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Kang'er will return.

Kang'er has not returned at this hour.

Could something have happened?

Do you remember

the meaning I explained to you?

Yes.

Good. Remember to tell Her Ladyship.

Your Highness.

Prince Kang is back!

Usher him in!

Your Majesty.

Your Ladyship, I'm now Duke Yan An.

Do you know why?

Kang'er.

His Majesty conferred you as Duke Yan An?

Eternal peace to the north of Yan and Yun.

Now that Kang'er was named Duke,

we should give him a Han name.

Zhao Li.

What do you think?

Duke Yan An, Zhao Li.

Modest and disciplined.

Kang'er will fulfil His Majesty's wishes.

Right?

Your Majesty.

An urgent secret report from Lingzhou.

That ungrateful scoundrel!

Why the anger, Your Majesty?

The Lingzhou magistrate, Hou Yan Guang, reported that

Li Ji Qian caused a riot.

He robbed 400,000 dan of rations from

the capital to Lingzhou

and killed all 200 men who escorted the rations.

Your Majesty, Li Ji Qian has been causing trouble

since Emperor Taizong's reign.

To summon his surrender,

Taizong married Princess Ling Yang to him.

But he didn't appreciate the grace

and returned kindness with ingratitude. We must stop him!

May Your Majesty send troops to subdue him!

Your Majesty.

If we attack Li Ji Qian,

the Great Liao will definitely send their assistance.

It would trigger a bigger threat!

We must consider wisely, Your Majesty.

If we don't stop the Tangut Tribe,

they will bring us greater trouble.

Li Ji Qian's treachery

is not a threat.

However, the Lingzhou magistrate must be punished.

Deduct his salary for three years.

He must protect Lingzhou at all costs

until Li Ji Qian retreats.

Li Ji Qian is our military commissioner.

We paid his salary

but he continued to cause trouble.

You're a minister, Lord Wang.

But you're speaking for Tangut.

Are you a Tangut clansman, taking the imperial court's salary?

Lord Kou.

That was very mean of you.

Your Majesty.

If we don't eliminate them now,

they would be our biggest threat then.

Insolence towards his monarch!

Audacious and wilful!

I must've pampered

this Kou Zhun too much!

Jing Zong?

What are you looking at?

Read it.

Reminiscing the first emperor,

he was gallant and invincible.

He never spared the Tangut people.

Now, Li Ji Qian created chaos again and again.

He was capricious with his allegiance,

but was never punished.

Wouldn't he underestimate the Great Song?

Your Majesty is cautious externally and

pampers one woman internally.

You favoured Consort Liu for several years

and neglected your harem.

It would be a great threat to our nation

as the royal offspring are depleting.

Who wrote this?

It's anonymous, Your Majesty.

Yi Jian.

Do you know who it is?

From the handwriting and choice of words,

it looks like Lord Kou.

From the surface,

it really looks like Kou Zhun's doing.

But it's really unscripted.

Based on Kou Zhun's character,

he didn't have to send

his report anonymously

and made Your Majesty see through it.

Grand Tutor.

You're just and observant.

I'll leave this matter to you.

Keep it low profile.

I want to know who did it.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

I know what to do.

Your Majesty.

The Minister of Rites, Li Hang, seeks your audience.

Summon him.

Yes.

Your humble servant, Li Hang, pays respects to Your Majesty.

Rise, Lord Li.

For what purpose did Your Majesty

summon me this late at night?

Prime Minister Lu's family came in.

Prime Minister Lu passed away tonight.

Prime Minister Lu passed away?

Prime Minister Lu's vision

and strategies

might have been rejected for a few times,

but he didn't mind.

Without Prime Minister Lu,

I wouldn't have succeeded the throne smoothly.

To stabilize a country,

Prime Minister Lu was the best of all.

I was Prime Minister Lu's junior.

I respected him so much.

Before Prime Minister Lu's demise,

he recommended you as his successor.

I had a deep thought

and shared the same view as Prime Minister Lu.

Thank you for the recognition, Your Majesty.

Minister Li.

Please stand up.

Now that Li Ji Qian is causing trouble

and the ministers insisting their own views,

you're given the title at perilous times.

I shall never abandon your trust

and embarrass Lord Lu.

Good.

[Cao Residence]

Please, Lord Guo.

Lord Guo.

Are you here for the anonymous report?

Yes.

Kou Zhun is arrogant and heartless.

Many in the imperial court are not pleased with him.

But with such eyesight, planning,

and as a masterful calligraphist,

the only one who can copy a handwriting...

Would only be Wang Qin Ruo.

We share the same view, in-law.

Say, with Wang Qin Ruo's

kindness we see everyday,

no one is smarter than him.

But he used such a lousy trick

to set Kou Zhun up.

Grand Tutor.

It is clear enough

for the both of us.

Wang Qin Ruo couldn't deceive us.

But as the head of three courts,

he is trusted by His Majesty.

We shouldn't trifle with him

if we don't have any evidence.

Li Hang is too old.

The one who can become the Prime Minister

would be Kou Zhun.

Wang Qin Ruo was being pre-emptive

and wanted to bring Kou Zhun down.

But His Majesty is probing on this.

Should we carry on our investigation?

We have to investigate.

But we don't have to report it immediately.

You should wait for the proper moment.

You're right, Lord Guo.

Can't fall asleep, Kang'er?

Missing home?

Your Ladyship.

Am I a naughty child?

You're not a naughty child.

You came to Great Song

and brought peace to us and Great Liao.

Ji'er too.

He went to Great Liao.

Though you're still young,

but you did a good job.

Your Majesty.

Respects to Your Majesty.

Spare the formalities, Kang'er.

I'm not wearing my imperial suit.

You can treat me like your family,

just like Her Ladyship.

Come.

Your Majesty.

Her Ladyship said Ji'er was sent to the capital.

And I was sent here.

Will Great Liao and Great Song be at peace now?

This is a treaty between me and Empress Dowager Xiao.

This is also Kang'er and I,

and Ji'er's gentlemanly promise.

I'll definitely fulfil it.

Your Majesty.

I have one more question.

Her Ladyship and you are a family.

But why aren't you two

living together?

You're still young.

You'll understand when you grow up.

It's getting late.

Hurry and sleep.

Don't forget.

You have to read in the morning.

In the imperial court,

I'm the emperor.

When I return here after the session,

I'm Ying'er's husband and

Kang'er's father.

I'm really happy

with you two beside me.

Now that Wang Jun is still on the loose,

Your Majesty might still be troubled.

Who told you that?

Su Yi Jian?

I asked him.

So he told me.

Wang Jun's rebellion at Western Shu is still ongoing.

Now Li Ji Qian started to rebel against me too.

I don't know

how many of them in the world

are still waiting to ascend the throne

and replace me.

Wang Jun and Li Ji Qian are not terrifying.

If Your Majesty delegates your men well,

you will end the rebellion soon.

Yelu Longxu in Great Liao has Xiao Da Lin,

Empress Dowager Xiao and Han De Rang to help him.

And in Great Song,

Kou Zhun is the wisest

amongst the ministers in the imperial court.

He is upright and has a backbone.

You won't win against Great Liao

if you lose Kou Zhun.

Why do you know so much

about Great Liao?

Kang'er told me when we were chatting.

I know Kou Zhun has his own ideas.

But he is too radical.

He embarrassed me

and the other ministers during the court session.

Everyone would be displeased

if I don't punish him.

He will become more arrogant too.

As the saying goes, opening the way of admonition

cultivates outstanding men.

Didn't it mean talents such as Kou Zhun?

In my opinion,

Kou Zhun's words made sense.

Li Ji Qian must not be spared.

He would be a great threat in the future.

Do you think I'm afraid of Li Ji Qian too?

Your Majesty!

I was trying to share your burden.

I didn't think that way.

I don't need your input

regarding politics.

If you can give birth to a son for me,

you will be sharing my burden.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Remember this.

It is a taboo for the imperial harem to meddle in politics.

No one can spread news about the imperial court

to the imperial harem.

Those who defy it will be severely punished.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Where are you going tonight, Your Majesty?

Pure Consort's palace.

Pure Consort?

Yes, Your Majesty.

To Cheng Ping Palace!
