[Episode 57]

Your Majesty, about the birth of Consort Chen's son,

I've only heard of the rumour.

It is unconfirmed.

However, as mentioned just now,

Consort Chen's brother, Li Zai Feng,

and Imperial Physician Dong

are still alive.

It's crowded in the streets. Someone might hear us.

We shouldn't talk here.

Your Majesty, please head to Magistrate Mansion

to discuss this issue.

Forget it.

I'm visiting incognito. I will not head there.

I'm returning to Su Ming Yun's residence.

Yes, Your Majesty.

My lord, will the Emperor believe you?

Didn't you see the Emperor's expression just now?

The Emperor has probably bought the story.

Once he finds the witnesses,

he has no choice but to believe in us.

Since you're aware that

the Emperor is in Suzhou,

if we do not report this matter,

The Empress Dowager will blame us.

You're right, my lord.

I'll send a letter to the Empress Dowager at once.

Let's go.

Your Majesty.

Tearooms and taverns

are known to fabricate stories

to attract customers.

Your Majesty,

you mustn't believe in the baloney of storytellers.

Ding Wei has already told me

that both Imperial Physician Dong and Li Zai Feng do exist,

and they are alive.

If there're witnesses, how could this incident be false?

Ding Wei neglected his duty in the capital.

That's why he was demoted to work in Suzhou.

I'm sure he bears a grudge against the Empress Dowager.

That's why he attempted to sow discord between you two.

Do not walk into his trap, Your Majesty.

Despite Ding Wei's grudge against the Empress Dowager,

it's unnecessary for him to falsify

my origin.

The Empress Dowager raised you for many years, Your Majesty.

She's been taking good care of you.

It's impossible.

Why?

The Empress Dowager took me from my mother.

She's long had an ulterior motive.

She wouldn't return the authority to me.

She still treats me as a pawn.

It's just her means of controlling the Imperial Court.

Your Majesty, this is a significant matter.

Please investigate the matter before jumping to conclusions.

We're returning to the capital right now.

I'm going to confront her.

It's a rumour.

How are you going to confront

the Empress Dowager about it?

Everyone in the palace and Song

knows Consort Chen gave birth to me!

I was the only one left in the dark!

If I do not get to the bottom of this,

how can I be the Emperor of Song?

Your Majesty, we received news of the Emperor.

Right now the Emperor...

The Emperor is in Suzhou.

How did you find out?

Ding Wei bumped into the Emperor in the streets of Suzhou.

He immediately sent a letter to the palace.

Ding Wei got ahead of us again.

He bumped into him?

Ding Wei is a cunning man.

His chance encounter with the Emperor must have been planned.

Your Majesty, if Ding Wei manipulates the Emperor,

there will be chaos.

I've given it some thought.

Summon Ding Wei back to the capital.

Restore his position and keep him in the Imperial Court.

Restore his position?

However, if we summon

Ding Wei back to the capital from Suzhou,

will there be trouble?

A tune is sung across the capital.

It goes like this,

"To attain peace, enemies must be eliminated."

The enemy is said to be

Ding Wei.

Ding Wei is well-connected. He's not easy to deal with.

I'm certain that he has obtained

the Emperor's trust in Suzhou right now.

I cannot go against him.

Nor can I keep him under control.

After giving it some thought,

I have no choice but to summon him back to the palace.

If Ding Wei isn't right before me,

I have no idea what he'll do behind my back.

Only by keeping him by my side

that I can be at ease.

Yi Jian, head to Suzhou.

Deliver my edict

to summon Ding Wei back.

At the same time, escort the Emperor back.

All right. I'll head over at once.

The imperial physician examined you a few days ago.

Despite taking a lot of medication,

your condition has yet to improve.

I'm concerned about the Emperor.

I'm constantly thinking about the Emperor.

Now that we know the Emperor's location,

I'm relieved.

I'll get well soon. Don't worry.

Hurry on.

All right.

I'm going to the teahouse

to inquire the storyteller

about the past of Consort Chen.

Where did he hear the story from?

Your Majesty, I received news that

the storyteller wasn't in Suzhou recently.

He has gone to perform somewhere else.

I shall interrogate the owner of the teahouse then.

I'm sure he knows something.

What could the owner possibly know?

All he heard was from the storyteller.

Your Majesty, you have heard the same thing as well.

Tell me. What should I do then?

How can I get to the bottom of this?

Your Majesty, you want to return to the capital, right?

In my opinion,

it's better to return to the capital first

and order someone to investigate it.

I said I wanted to return to the capital

to question my mother yesterday

out of rage.

If I return to the capital,

my mother will restrict me.

It will be more difficult for me to investigate the matter.

We're unfamiliar with the region.

How to investigate the matter on our own?

Let's summon Ding Wei

to investigate this matter.

My lord.

My lord, the Commissioner of the Privy Council, Lord Su, is here.

Hurry up and invite him in.

Yes, my lord.

Lord Su.

I didn't know you'd come all the way here.

Pardon me for failing to receive you.

You're very occupied.

Pardon my interruption.

Not at all, my lord.

Residing in Suzhou,

I've been obeying the Empress Dowager's order

to govern Suzhou well,

never neglecting my duty.

Lord Su, have a seat.

Lord Ding, you've lived up to the Empress Dowager's trust.

That's why she assigned me

to deliver her edict.

Ding Wei, you shall receive the edict.

Yes.

Due to your contribution in Suzhou,

you shall be summoned to the capital. Your position shall be reinstated.

I'm summoned back to the capital?

Yes.

You did a good job in governing Suzhou.

The civilians live in peace and comfort.

The Empress Dowager will disregard all your mistakes

in the past,

seeing as you'd protected the Emperor.

You informed the Empress Dowager about the location of the Emperor.

That is a major contribution.

That's why you're summoned back to the capital.

Your position will be reinstated. Congratulations.

Thank you, Empress Dowager.

Thank you, Lord Su.

Once I hand over the matters at hand,

I'll depart for the capital immediately to assume my position.

All right.

I shall meet you back in the capital.

Upon your return to the capital,

I'll host a welcome banquet for you.

You travelled all the way here.

Please head to my mansion to rest.

That way, I can fulfil my duty as the host.

It's all right.

I have to head to Su Mansion to meet the Emperor

and escort him back to the palace.

Goodbye.

Lord Su, allow me to see you off.

[Su Mansion]

Are you Su Ming Yun?

Yes. May I know who you are?

I'm the Commissioner of the Privy Council, Su Yi Jian.

Lord Su, pardon my ignorance.

Please come in.

[Su Mansion]

Here.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

I'm here to escort you back to the palace.

Ding Wei must have disclosed my location to my mother.

Your Majesty, since you left the capital,

The Empress Dowager has not been eating and sleeping well.

She suffered from a loss of appetite,

because she's worried that your disease might relapse.

Please understand

the Empress Dowager's concerns

and return to the palace soon.

It's time for me to return.

Besides, I need to talk to the Empress Dowager anyway.

The carriage is ready.

Please return to the capital at once.

I know that you're knowledgeable and compassionate.

You're capable and upright.

You're a talent that's needed by the Imperial Court.

The civil examination is approaching.

I'll await your participation back in the capital.

You will definitely achieve great results.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I will not let you down.

Your Majesty, the carriage is here.

Let's depart immediately.

Allow Ru'er to ride the carriage alone.

I need to speak to you in private.

Since you left the capital,

The Empress Dowager thinks of you constantly.

Is she concerned about me

or does she fear that I've heard things

I'm not supposed to?

I'm not sure what you're referring to, Your Majesty.

Please enlighten me, Your Majesty.

As the Emperor,

not only do I have no say in my own marriage,

but I was left in the dark about my own origin.

Why would you say that?

You have served my mother for the longest time.

My mother may be able to keep certain things from me,

not you though.

Tell me.

Am I my mother's flesh and blood?

Your Majesty, I have no idea

what you have heard over the past few days,

but humans' minds are unpredictable.

I hope that you can differentiate truth from lies.

Do not believe in the crooks' side of the story.

Lord Su.

You're loyal towards my mother indeed.

I do not expect

to get any clue from you.

Once I arrive in the capital,

I'll definitely get to the bottom of this.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Please rise.

I brought Ru'er with me.

I caused you trouble.

I've brought Ru'er back.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

There's no time to waste.

Let's enter the palace to meet the Empress Dowager.

[Qian Yuan Gate]

Jing Zong, where are they right now?

The Emperor has returned.

Hurry up and receive him.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, why are you following me?

You aren't feeling well.

You should get some rest instead.

He's right.

All right. Just go.

Yes.

Your Majesty. Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Mother.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

You're back.

Your Majesty.

During the days you were gone,

The Empress Dowager could barely eat or sleep well.

She is constantly worried about you.

A few days ago, the Empress Dowager

wasn't feeling...

Jing Zong.

Your Majesty, a house has its rules,

and a country has its laws.

As the Emperor,

how could you behave arbitrarily?

You left the palace and the capital without telling us.

By doing so, you are disregarding

the country

and the Imperial Court.

The state affairs and the Imperial Court

are governed by you, Mother.

My presence

does not matter.

A state cannot exist without a ruler.

During the days of your absence,

besides worrying about you, the Empress Dowager

had to deal with the officials.

Your Majesty,

please understand the Empress Dowager's concerns.

Since you're back safe and sound,

I'll let this slide.

I will not punish Cao Ru, Wang Jian

and Su Ming Yun of Suzhou.

They will not be held accountable.

I understand.

You've never treated me as the Emperor.

And Lord Su, you've styled yourself as the Emperor's uncle.

All of you are here to reprimand me.

If I wasn't left with no choice,

I wouldn't have left the palace without a word.

How were you wronged in this palace?

Tell me!

You may voice out your suffering in the Imperial Court as well.

You ran away out of spite after a disagreement.

Are you a child?

Since you've returned,

I hope that

you're able to bear the responsibility of an emperor!

Do not repeat such absurdity again.

Mother.

Your Majesty.

The Emperor has travelled a long way.

Let's allow the Emperor to get some rest

before you talk again on another day.

Jing Zong.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Escort the Emperor back to his palace.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, let's return.

Mother, I shall excuse myself.

During the Emperor's journey,

what happened?

During the Emperor's trip to Suzhou,

a major incident occurred.

What happened?

The entire family was looking for you.

How could you run away from home?

I was wrong.

Get on your knees!

That's enough.

That's enough. Get up.

Get up and speak.

Ru'er.

in Suzhou, where did you

and the Emperor go?

Who did you meet?

The Emperor brought me

to Su Ming Yun's residence in Suzhou.

We were well received and taken care of.

After that, we met Lord Ding.

Which Lord Ding are you referring to?

Was it the Magistrate of Suzhou, Ding Wei?

Yes.

This...

Enough.

Where did you go after encountering Lord Ding?

Lord Ding brought us to a teahouse.

The storytellers narrated a story.

It's a story about

a consort giving birth to a son.

I'm not sure

which dynasty the story occurred in.

Unexpectedly,

the past incident

has spread so far.

The storytellers of the teahouse even made it into a story.

However,

the Emperor was very upset after hearing the story.

The Emperor believes that

he's the Crown Prince in the story.

The Emperor also said that

he'd investigate the matter once he returned.

Ru'er.

The story you heard at the teahouse involves many parties.

Do not disclose this to anyone else.

Do not discuss this with the Emperor either.

When you and the Emperor departed from the capital,

you caused great trouble.

The Cao family was almost implicated.

I'm going to punish you. You're grounded to reflect on your actions.

Return to your chamber and copy the scriptures.

Without my permission,

you're forbidden to leave.

Yes, I understand.

All right. You may go.

Father.

Something fishy is going on.

Can't you tell?

This was all arranged by Ding Wei.

He wants to suppress the Empress Dowager through the Emperor.

Ding Wei is cunning indeed.

I'm impressed.

It's Ding Wei again.

Yes.

I've deployed men

to search for Li Zai Feng and Imperial Physician Dong.

We mustn't allow them to meet the Emperor.

We must find them

ahead of Ding Wei.

Don't worry.

I'll do everything I can

to find them before Ding Wei does.

Even without Ding Wei,

the Emperor would find out sooner or later.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

You may rise, Lord Ding.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Lord Ding executed the tasks entrusted by me in Suzhou.

You fulfilled your duties responsibly.

I'm pleased.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'm devoted to you, Your Majesty.

I've reinstated the position of Lord Ding.

What do you think, Your Majesty?

I had the same thing on mind as well.

Lord Wang, draft the verdict at once

to reinstate Lord Ding's duties in the Imperial Court.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Majesty. I'm Ding Wei.

Ding Wei.

Do you plead guilty?

I'm not sure. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty.

Since you're well aware

of my true origin,

why didn't you report it directly?

Aren't you guilty of deceiving the Emperor?

Your Majesty, this happened in the palace a long time ago.

It has already spread across the state. Everyone knows.

However, you're in the palace.

No one dared to bring up this matter in front of you.

Everyone in the nation except me

was aware of this.

As the Vice Counsellor,

why didn't you report this to me?

Pardon me, Your Majesty. This is a significant matter.

The truth is still ambiguous.

I have no means of determining the truth.

That's why I was unable to report it to you, Your Majesty.

The officials of the Imperial Court remained silent.

No one would bring this matter up.

They're afraid of the Empress Dowager's wrath.

That's why everyone became the Empress Dowager' accomplices

and kept me in the dark.

The Empress Dowager has absolute authority.

Her words are absolute.

No one dares to oppose the Empress Dowager.

However, I started paying attention to this matter some time ago.

Once it's the right time and I discover the truth,

I'll definitely report this matter.

Back in Suzhou, you mentioned

that Imperial Physician Dong and Li Zai Feng were still alive.

Where are they now?

I found out that

Imperial Physician Dong retired to his hometown

and resided in a remote village. He no longer comes out.

As for Li Zai Feng,

he was sent to a small town in Jiangnan by Su Yi Jian.

He has long spent the wealth given to him

by the Empress Dowager.

He's in bad shape.

Hurry up and summon them here.

I've deployed men to locate them.

Once I do,

I'll bring them to the capital immediately.

Do not disclose this matter to anyone,

especially the Empress Dowager.

Don't worry, Your Majesty.

Leave this to me.

I'll make sure nothing goes wrong.

Once Li Zai Feng and Physician Dong arrive in the capital,

I'll bring them to the Empress Dowager

and confront her.

Most officials of the Imperial Court are hoping for the same.

Once the truth is revealed,

we will submit an appeal

for the abdication of the Empress Dowager,

so that the power can be returned to you, Your Majesty.

Sir.

Allow me to pack up.

Move it.

Young Master.

Ke Xin.

We had a good time today.

I'm going to redeem you

from Fang Chun Brothel.

Dream on.

I'm the Emperor's biological uncle.

Who are you?

Get lost!

If you kill me,

you and your family will be executed!

It's too late.

It's too late?

Are the two people...

They're killed on almost the same day.

The local magistrate reported that

Imperial Physician Dong hung himself.

Li Zai Feng was killed by robbers.

However, these are excuses to cover up the truth.

Both of us made a mistake.

However, their deaths

might turn the situation around.

It's uncertain yet.

You're right, Father-in-law.

The murder must have been ordered by the Empress Dowager.

If this is true,

that means she has a plan all along.

It won't be easy for us to have something on her.

That's right.

Their deaths

must have been caused by her follower,

someone who obeys her.

Once the evidence is confirmed,

we must eliminate her trusted aides,

so that she loses support

and becomes alone and helpless in the palace,

before we execute the plan.

Since the Emperor's return,

he no longer leaves his chamber.

He claims that he's exhausted and doesn't feel well.

I understand that

he's troubled.

The wedding is approaching.

The Emperor is still mad.

How is the Emperor going to face the Imperial Court?

I regret it, too.

When the Emperor returned,

I shouldn't have been so strict to him.

Your Majesty, you did so as you cared a lot about the Emperor.

I ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare a table full of dishes.

I made sure they're all the Emperor's favourite dishes.

Jing Zong.

Invite the Emperor here.

Sure.

I would like to have a meal with my son.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'll invite the Emperor right now.

I'm just going to the teahouse by the streets.

I'm not travelling far.

Must I report my every move to the Empress Dowager?

Your Majesty, you may do that, but...

That's enough. Stop it.

Your Majesty, Zhang Jing Zong seeks to see you.

Hurry up and dress me in my robes.

It's inverted.

My headgear.

Hurry up.

Go on.

Zhang Jing Zong is summoned!

Greetings, Your Majesty.

What's the matter, Eunuch Zhang?

Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager knows

you have not had it easy

outside the palace these past few days.

So Her Majesty ordered the imperial kitchen

to prepare a meal.

I'm here to invite you

to a meal with Her Majesty.

I just ate.

I'm full.

Please pass my message to the Empress Dowager.

Let the Empress Dowager know that I appreciate the gesture.

The Empress Dowager prepared a table full of food.

It's all your favourite dishes.

Although you have already eaten,

you should meet the Empress Dowager

to avoid letting her down.

I'm tired. I do not want to leave.

Please deliver my message to the Empress Dowager.

Your Majesty.

Wang Jian.

See Eunuch Zhang out.

Please, Eunuch Zhang.

Your Majesty.

If that's the case, I will not disturb you.

When you were out there,

the Empress Dowager missed you so much that she could hardly eat or sleep.

She was restless.

I hope that you can make time

to pay the Empress Dowager a visit

and fulfil your filial piety.

All right. I understand.

You're dismissed.

I shall excuse myself, Your Majesty.

A meal shared between a mother and a son

is common

in an ordinary family.

However, it's a difficult thing to achieve in the palace.

Since the Emperor isn't showing up,

Jing Zong, Yi Qin,

sit with me.

Eat with me.

Thank you, Your Majesty,

but...

I told you to come over.

Hurry up. Have a seat.

This...

Eat with me.

The Emperor refuses to have a meal with me.

Are you two going to do the same?

Serve the utensils.

Jing Zong, have a seat.

Yes.

Have a seat. Let's eat.

This...

Why aren't you two eating?

Let's eat.

Let's eat.

Don't be shy.

Today,

you two are my family.

Come on, have more.

Go on.

Your Majesty, do not worry.

The Emperor has yet to get over it.

Once he comes around,

he'll surely come and greet you.

That's right, Your Majesty.

That's not the reason.

The Emperor no longer treats me as his mother.

He will no longer listen to me.

I am wondering

whether I should have told him the truth right in the beginning.

In the Imperial Court,

the officials are divided.

If the Emperor learns

of his origin right now,

I'm afraid there may be chaos.

The Emperor has begun the investigation.

I can no longer keep this hidden.

If the late Emperor were still alive,

I wouldn't have been in a dilemma.

The late Emperor

would definitely bless you

and help you to overcome this obstacle with the Emperor.

Back then, the late Emperor was severely ill.

He had to keep it from the officials.

I was the only one who stayed by his side

to share his burden and pain.

Now that I'm ill,

my son

wouldn't even join me for a meal.

The only ones who'd stay by my side

are only you, Jing Zong and Yi Qin.

As long as I see the both of you eating well,

I'll be at ease.

Please, dig in.

Let's eat.

Your Majesty, in my opinion,

the story narrated by the storyteller

was nothing but a fabrication.

The Empress Dowager isn't that kind of person.

Ru'er, have you ever thought about it?

I may have lived in deception since I was a kid,

because no one told me the truth.

Thus, no matter what I heard,

I'd believe it.

If the truth is revealed,

I'll be afraid,

I won't dare to face it.

I think I've long heard of the tale

of Consort Chen giving birth to the Crown Prince.

However, I did not look into the matter.

Why would the Empress Dowager lie to you?

I'm not sure about the specific reasons.

However, I do understand that

after this trip,

I'll no longer be afraid.

I'm no longer who I was,

a person who's controlled by the Empress Dowager in every way.

I'll make my own decisions.

Grand Tutor was right.

I'm already an adult.

I should be governing the Imperial Court.

I should no longer be a puppet manipulated by the Empress Dowager.

Song

belongs to me, Zhao Zhen.

Your Majesty.

We must first uncover the truth.

We must find out who my biological mother is.

If the storyteller

was telling the truth,

The Empress Dowager has no right to sit behind me

and participate in the Imperial Court meetings.

Your Majesty, Lord Su wishes to see you.

Let him in.

Yes.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Yi Jian, come over.

Your Majesty.

You carried a scroll with you.

What's going on?

Recently, I found a portrait

left by a former calligraphy master of the previous dynasty.

It's extremely valuable.

Open it.

You are in a good mood.

Instead of admiring it alone,

I would like to present it to you.

Here, have a look, Your Majesty.

Is the lady in the portrait Wu Zetian?

Yes.

This painting is titled Empress Wu's Regency.

Empress Wu was the regent, and all bowed to her.

After she ascended the throne,

she made Luoyang the capital and built the Southern Zhou dynasty.

She inherited the reign of Zhenguan

and developed another advanced era.

Her contributions were made known to the world.

All future generations admire her.

Why did you bring this painting

to the palace, Yi Jian?

Your Majesty, you're far-sighted, smart,

and ambitious.

In my opinion, you're comparable to Empress Wu.

Besides, you contributed greatly

to the development of Song.

Everyone in the nation knows that.

Thus...

Are you hoping

for me to follow in the footsteps of Empress Wu?

Empress Wu governed the Imperial Court.

Why can't you do the same?

Yi Jian.

You're an important official of the Imperial Court.

How could you have such a disrespectful thought?

I wouldn't dare.

It's just that the Emperor's recent behaviour

is against your teachings.

He is unable to govern the Imperial Court.

Your Majesty, you're the only one that can control the Imperial Court.

I suggest you burn this painting at once.

Otherwise, I'll punish you severely

without consideration for our bond!

I understand. Please calm down, Your Majesty.

Before the late Emperor passed away,

he told me this personally.

Once things reach a certain point, it progresses towards the opposite.

Things overflow when they're full. Prosperity leads to decline.

To maintain the accomplishments, one must attend to them meticulously.

Over the years,

I've been keeping this in mind.

I dare not forget it.

I'm not Empress Wu.

I will not follow in the footsteps of Wu Zetian.

I'll never betray the late Emperor.

Yi Jian, you're faithful to me.

I understand.

However, you should be faithful towards the Emperor instead.

The late Emperor showed you kindness.

The Emperor looks up to you.

If the day comes

when I pass away,

you should bear the responsibility of protecting the state

and assisting the Emperor wholeheartedly.

Yes.

You're right.

I'll keep it in mind.

I shall let

what happened today slide.

You should forget it as well.

Tomorrow, it will be the late Emperor's death anniversary.

Deliver my edict to the Ministry of Rites

to prepare for the ceremony.

Tomorrow, the Emperor and the officials

shall pay homage to the late Emperor at Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Although I'm not allowed to enter the temple,

I'll commemorate the late Emperor outside the temple.

Father, I do not understand.

Why are you so stubborn?

The Empress Dowager's ambition is known to all.

Don't you understand?

Father!

The Empress Dowager is extremely intelligent!

Do you think she

is unaware of your every move?

It doesn't matter.

The previous generations of the Cao family

were righteous.

However, in your generation,

a coward like you was born.

Father.

If you're reluctant to join me in advising the Empress Dowager,

I will not force you.

At the entrance of the Imperial Academy,

hundreds of scholars have gathered at this moment.

Your participation does not matter! Get out of my way!

Father, listen to me!

The Empress Dowager has gone through great lengths

to attain peace and stability in the Imperial Court.

The people live in comfort. The state grows in wealth.

These are all thanks to the Empress Dowager!

Father.

Think twice. Do not go.

Since we pursue different things, we shall go our separate ways.

Stay home

and live a comfortable life.

Father.

Do not get in my way.

Father!

Move over.

Father!

Grandfather.

Ru'er.

Grandfather.

Grandfather.

I made you some new snacks.

Look. These are green and red streaks.

These are preserved fruits.

I just plucked them.

Here are some rose petals.

They're fragrant, tasty, and pretty.

I'm sure you'll love it.

I do.

I enjoy the snacks you make the most.

Grandfather, I'll make sure you get to try

the snacks I make.

All right.

Ru'er, wait for me at home.

I'll return and enjoy the food you make.

Get home soon.

My snacks

taste the best right out of the stove.

Of course.

I'll come home soon.

I'll do that.

Ru'er, be good.

All right.

Wait for my return.

I'll be waiting for you at home.

I'll be home soon.

I'll be home soon.

Grandfather, it's a promise.
