Your Highness, she's not here.

[Chenghao Books]

Your Highness, she's not here.

Continue searching.

Your Highness, how about we—?

Master!

Reporting to Master. The third prince has mobilized the Huizhou soldiers.

Who?

Third Prince. He's looking everywhere for Princess Consort Yuzhang.

Go. Tell him to come and see me.

Yes.

Just like his mother,

spending a lifetime trapped by emotions.

Keep up!

Maternal Uncle, what are you doing here?

I should be asking you that.

Uncle, I—

You still know that I'm your uncle?

The Xie Clan is the clan of your mother.

I do not ever dare forget that.

Do not ever dare forget?

From what I see, you do not dare forget that witch from the Wang family!

A'Wu is different from her father.

But she's still a daughter of the Wang family.

Furthermore, she is now Princess Consort Yuzhang.

Zitan, Zitan. Could it be that you have forgotten about the death of your mother?

Enough. Go back to the capital tomorrow.

But, Uncle, when the Xie family was in trouble,

A'Wu once gave up everything, wanting to leave with me.

I'm the one to betray her love.

Since you have already betrayed her,

"A broken mirror cannot be whole again and spilled water cannot be gathered up again."

Zitan, right now, our Xie family and the Wang family

are separated by a deep blood feud.

What are you still hoping for in vain?

Yes.

What am I still hoping for in vain?

I just want... her to be safe.

Not like now, stuck in a dangerous situation.

You—!

Do you know? I came here under your father's secret decree.

It's not up to you whether you go back to the capital.

As for the various reasons, take a look yourself!

Young Master.

Get off.

[Search Notice]

You look better in person.

Greetings, Prime Minister.

The governor of Huizhou, Wu Qian.

Prime Minister, Princess Consort was kidnapped. [Wu Qian - Governor of Huizhou]

I especially came to the capital to beg for punishment.

You have refused to see me again and again, so I was only able to wait here for you.

I also never expected that someone would actually dare kidnap the princess consort.

I have already ordered my men to rigorously search.

We will surely find her.

I ask that you consider our relationship as mentor and mentee

as well as my years of devotion to the Wang Clan—

Raise your head.

I just want you to know that if my daughter is really harmed in any way,

I want your entire family to be buried with her.

Prime Minister!

Prime Minister, have mercy! Prime Minister!

Prime Minister, please have mercy!

[Duke of Zhenguo's Manor]

Why haven't you left already?

I really need to see Grand Elder Princess about something.

I beg you to let me see her.

Sir, how many times have I told you already?

My madam is not feeling well and will not meet with visitors.

This matter... This matter is in regards to Princess Consort Yuzhang!

I'm begging you! Let me see Grand Elder Princess!

The young duke doing that is really too much.

Back then, it was the Wang family who begged the emperor for this marriage.

They even separate you and—

Ruo Qiu.

I just feel so wronged on your behalf.

They separated you from what would have been a great marriage and forcefully married you into this family.

Yet the young duke just throws you to the side

and goes to the side court to see those wicked concubines every day.

Now, you, as the legitimate wife, are not pregnant,

yet that Zhu Yan is the first to bear his child.

I actually think this is great.

My Lady, our Huan family is not a family that is lacking in power.

In any case, our master is in the capital—

Wu Qian seeks an audience with Her Highness the Grand Elder Princess!

Grand Elder Princess!

Who's making a ruckus at the door?

That man is still here?

When I came back a while ago, he was already there.

It seems that he is even the governor of Huizhou.

Huizhou?

Princess Consort?

I wonder what he insists on seeing Grand Elder Princess about.

Ruo Qiu, find a reason to get Senior Maidservant Xu to come here.

Senior Maidservant Xu?

I understand.

Grand Elder Princess, something horrible has happened!

- Something has happened to the young princess! - What?!

I am guilty! I am guilty!

Quickly tell Grand Elder Princess what exactly happened to our princess?

I had no idea that you did not know about this, Your Highness.

- Quickly tell me. - I really did not know!

Or else, I would never dare to come to the manor to beg for mercy.

Stop with the nonsense. What exactly happened?

Quickly tell me!

What happened to my daughter A'Wu?

Ten days ago, Princess Consort Yuzhang, at the Thousand Lantern Festival,

was kidnapped by a bunch of criminals.

I already mobilized all the men I can,

but... we still do not know her whereabouts.

- I deserve to die! I deserve to die! - Grand Elder Princess!

- Grand Elder Princess! - Grand Elder Princess!

What are you looking at?

If you keep looking at me, then I will gouge your eyes out.

Okay. Do it.

It would be best if you present my eyeballs to Helan Zhen.

See how he'll reward you.

Do you think you are worthy to say our Young Master's name?

That's right, I should be calling him "bastard."

You're the bastard!

We'll see how you'll mouth off in three days when you're dead.

Pick that up and eat it.

What did you say?

I said, "Pick that up and eat it!"

My hands are still tied.

I'll eat it if you untie my hands.

Pick it up.

Eat it! I'll watch you eat it.

Xiao Ye!

Come in.

Young Master told me to bring this meat porridge here.

- This is from Young Master? - Yes.

This... This is for her.

Scram!

Looks like your young master cannot bear to kill me.

In three days, we'll see if he can bear to kill you or not.

I don't care about what will happen in three days,

but this bowl of porridge is mine.

You want to drink this?

Like I'll let you drink it.

Bitch, open the door!

Bitch, open the door now!

Bitch! Open the door!

Where is she?! Come out!

Young Master!

So noisy! Are you all going to let me sleep or not?

Young Master, that princess consort's room is on fire.

On fire?

Don't rush to put out the fire first.

Immediately have people surround this whole post.

Yes.

Father.

The governor of Huizhou, Wu Qian, came to the manor to beg for mercy and Mother saw.

Mother heard about A'Wu's kidnapping

and fainted.

The imperial physician already examined her

and said that she needs to rest.

Wu Qian, that bastard. I should have driven him out of the city that day.

Father, A'Wu has already been missing for over ten days. Is there any news?

There are some leads. She should be heading towards Ningshuo.

I already sent people to contact Prince Yuzhang.

This gang of culprits should be making a move in the next few days.

By the time Xiao Qi gets my message, he should have long made preparations.

He should be able to find your sister.

But that Xiao Qi was able to abandon A'Wu on their wedding night, so why would he rescue her now?

Right now, he and our Wang Clan are on the same boat.

We are both thorns in the emperor's eyes.

If he continues to not form an alliance with us,

then I'm afraid he can only die.

- Young Duke. - Why are these rooms all dark?

Where is my wife?

For the past few days, Duke Huan has been here at the capital.

Her Ladyship has gone to spend time with him.

She must have done that again today.

Such a serious matter has happened at home,

yet as the daughter-in-law, she is not by mother's side!

Once she is back, inform me immediately.

Yes, Young Duke.

Mi'er, in a few more days,

I will have you by my side officially.

I will certainly not let you be wronged in any way.

When I succeed the throne is

when you will become the "mother of the nation."

Zilu...

Hush.

Have faith in me.

Are we giving up on searching for the princess now?

No.

We are returning to the capital.

- Fire! - Come help!

Fire! Fire!

Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry! Hurry!

Princess Consort, forgive us for the offense.

- I am Hu Guanglie. - I, Hu Yao.

We came to rescue you under the orders of Prince Yuzhang.

Princess Consort, do not be afraid. High Highness sent us to protect you.

- It was Prince Yuzhang who sent you two? - Yes.

- Where is he? - His Highness is in Ningshuo.

However, he was very worried after knowing about your kidnapping,

so he sent Hu Yao and me to serach for your whereabouts.

Hurry! Hurry and look for her!

- Don't let her escape! - Yes!

Search for her! Bring some more water!

Not here! She is not over here!

- Search carefully! - She is not over here as well!

Look over there!

Let's go! Don't let her run away!

Hu Yao, you protect Her Highness from behind.

- I will be in front, forging a path for us. - All right.

This way!

- Nothing here! - Water is here!

- You guys look over there! - Yes!

Search carefully!

Over here! Over here!

Over here!

Over here! Hurry!

This way!

There's no one here! Go look over there!

Search carefully! There is no way she is escaping!

Water is here!

Keep on searching! Hurry!

Over there!

- Over there! - This way!

Over here! Hurry! Hurry!

There's no one here!

- You guys go close the gates! - Yes.

Close the court gates!

Search carefully!

There are people everywhere. We'll be discovered sooner or later.

Then let's kill our way out.

You can't! You can't!

There are too many of them.

There is no way out. None of us can get out of here.

- You two, climb on top of the battlements! Look from up there! - Yes!

Is she over there?

Listen to me.

Helan Zhen set up a trap.

In three days, he will use me as bait to kill Prince Yuzhang.

In three days? That's the day of the military parade.

Over there!

Close all the gates!

Yes!

Yes.

I don't know about the specifics of what he will be doing in three days,

but I know that he wants to—

We carefully searched everywhere!

...challenge Prince Yuzhang to a death battle.

Immediately relay this news back.

Don't let even a bird out from here!

- Princess Consort! - What are you trying to do?

I'll go out and distract them. You two hurry and leave.

- No. - Princess Consort.

I promised His Highness to protect you.

Don't worry. I'm still useful to them.

They won't harm me easily.

Tell Prince Yuzhang that I will be waiting for him in three days.

Over there!

- Princess Consort! Princess Consort! - Princess Consort! Princess Consort!

How about this?

I'll stay and protect her secretly.

Brother, you go report back.

Let's go!

- Who is it? - It's me.

- My Lord! - This is bad. This is bad.

- What happened? - I made a huge mistake.

This is just great.

Not only did I not succeed in begging for mercy, but I also made such a huge mistake.

We are going to die for sure now.

We don't even know if we can keep our lives.

My Lord, what do we do now?

What else can we do?

Run. We run away tonight.

How did she escape?

I was negligent.

She set the room on fire and tried to escape in the chaos.

Young Master, Xiao Ye nearly got hurt because of this.

You have quite a lot of tricks.

It's too bad that you're not very physically skilled.

Do you know that your moment of negligence nearly wrecked my great plans?

Forget it! Tie her up right here.

Let's see how she'll escape again.

May I be so bold to say, I ask you to prioritize revenge, Young Master.

What did you say?

Young Master, you must not be enchanted by her beauty and delay our important matters.

We have waited for so long and so many of our people have died.

The final battle is in just three days.

You still remember our great plans for revenge?!

Then, why did you let her escape?!

I know I was wrong.

Please punish me, Young Master.

Punish?

Don't blame me for being inconsiderate.

Someone has to take responsibility for this incident.

You escaped.

So now she has to take responsibility.

- Suotu. - Here.

Drag her out and chop off one of her arms.

Young Master! I still have to serve you, Young Master!

- Let's go! - Don't do this, Young Master! Young Master!

Helan Zhen, I'm the one who set the fire.

Why are you punishing her?

Besides, even if you're the one personally watching me now,

you may not be able to keep me in place.

Now you're talking on her behalf?

Interesting.

Fine.

Then I shall personally watch over you now.

Governor Wu, I know you are inside!

It's a woman.

Go take a look.

Go take a look!

Who is it?

Who are you?

Who I am is not important.

Governor Wu, don't you know that a great calamity is upon you?

How do you know?

There's only one person who can save you now.

If you want to live, then come with me.

I, Wu Qian, greet you, Duke Huan.

Please save me, Duke Huan.

As long as you can save me,

I'm willing to repay your kind act with extreme sacrifices.

This time, I can't save you.

Then, what should I do?

There is someone who can save you.

Who?

This is...

Your savior is here.

Greetings to Your Highness the Second Prince.

Forego the formalities, Duke Huan.

Your Highness the Second Prince!

I beg you to save me, Your Highness the Second Prince!

The heavens have not ever been kind to me.

Whenever there is something beautiful,

he will surely destroy it in front of me.

Say, if you were not Princess Consort Yuzhang,

how wonderful would that be?

Or if I were not Helan Zhen,

not your enemy, would you still hate me like this?

You torment the weak and the young, take your anger out on the innocent,

and are driven by the desire for revenge.

How can I not hate you?

Do you know how I survived to this day?

Once upon a time, in Liupan,

there was a beautiful and noble princess.

She was so noble that those who took a second look at her felt as though they committed blasphemy.

However, who would have thought that on her wedding day,

the Hulan Crown Prince, who came to attend her wedding,

had evil thoughts because of her beauty.

The Crown Prince of Hulan

defiled that princess.

Afterward, the princess gave birth to a son and a daughter.

One day, that daughter became ill.

The mother, who had no other choice, was only able to take the boy

to brave the ice and snow in order to return to Liupan

to beg for help from her former royal relatives.

However, they...

would just point to that boy and call him a bastard.

They chased them away.

The chief guard to the princess from back then was the only one to stay by her side

to raise the son and daughter.

However, many years later,

the Crown Prince of Hulan unexpectedly sent people to look for that boy

and took him away from his mother's side.

Didn't they refuse to acknowledge that boy?

This is because the Hulan royal descendants all died in battle.

There was no one left to succeed the throne.

So he remembered the sins he committed in Liupan.

Soon after, that boy returned to Hulan.

The war between Hulan and the Central Plains began.

Liupan, which was stuck in between the two, suffered miserably due to the war. [Liupan]

Only by threatening to take his own life

was the boy bestowed with his own troops by the Hulan King,

allowing him to return to save his mother.

However, by the time he rushed to Liupan,

it was already in ruin.

His mother and sister were already...

You are that boy.

The only things I cared about in this world

burned to ashes on that day.

After that day, my mother's chief guard found me.

With him were the fortunate few who escaped from the Liupan Palace.

They proclaimed me as their young master,

saying something about using their life to get revenge for Liupan.

So...

I became your pawn.

A pawn for revenge.

Saying all that is useless now.

I don't care how many people I kill.

But the thought of killing you

makes me a little unhappy.

Your Majesty, careful.

Your Majesty, Marquis Xie sent news

saying that an infallible trap has already been set up in Ningshuo.

As soon as Xiao Qi dies,

Xu Shou will take out the secret imperial decree

and use his status as the imperial envoy to control the Ningshuo army.

What about Zitan? Where is Zitan now?

His Highness should be on his way back here.

Your Majesty, enduring like this, when will it end?

I have already died once.

No matter how difficult it may be,

I must endure it.

Wash up.

Change into something clean.

so that tomorrow... "you can walk the path easily." (T/N: a secondary meaning of the phrase is to walk the path of death; walking to death)

What will you do to me tomorrow?

Don't worry about it.

Yesterday, you saved me. I owe you.

If you have any wishes, you can tell me.

I'm guessing that tomorrow's battle will forbode disasters rather than blessings.

Do you not have any wishes?

My wish...

is nothing more than death.

Do you really not care about your own life?

It was Young Master who saved me.

Since the day he brought me to Hulan,

my life has been his.

Xiao Ye...

I can see how you treat Helan Zhen.

Your entire body and heart are invested in him.

Whatever he wants, you will do your best to give it to him.

But how does he, on the other hand, treat you?

He orders you around and even wanted to chop your arm off.

As long as Young Master is in my heart, that is enough.

I don't care if I am in his heart or not.

Can you sit with me for a bit?

Although we are not friends,

we are both women.

I really hope you can understand how valuable a devoted heart is

and how it should not be given to the wrong person.

What do you mean?

Women should not live to be insulted and humiliated.

For this love, you belittle yourself.

It's not worth it.

I don't understand what you are talking about.

However, in regards to Young Master's revenge,

I will help him accomplish it even if I die.

Perhaps...this is my fate.

You cannot give in to fate so easily.

You should think carefully.

From a distance, you look identical to her.

Are you afraid of death?

For Young Master, I have no fears.

Do not disappoint the hopes of the Liupan people.

I will repay your kindness with my life.

You are a warrior of the Liupan people.

Xiao Ye,

you're so beautiful.

We will depart soon. Are you really not afraid?

For Young Master, I am not afraid of anything.

No matter what happens, I will stay with you.

The time has come.

Young Master.

Not bad. This is the emblem of an envoy.

I knew you would have men on the inside.

I knew that you were a smart lady.

Young Master, we must not miss the timing.

This belt...

is filled with the most deadly of toxins.

We just need to pull on this string to start the phosphorous flames.

Everything within 30 feet will be turned into ashes.

From this moment on, I advise you to not move recklessly.

Maybe you should pray to the heavens

that I kill Xiao Qi in one swoop.

That way, you can stay alive.

After tomorrow, if you and I are still alive,

I will take you back to the plains.

You won't be taking anything back.

Your Highness, although our plan is thorough, the princess consort is in their hands after all.

- I'm afraid— - Huai'en.

Hu Yao is protecting Princess Consort in the shadows. Nothing will happen.

Hu Yao is still a woman. If they make a move,

I'm afraid it will still be difficult for her to protect the princess consort.

How about we send some more people?

That will alert the enemies

and ruin His Highness's great plans.

I thought that the princess consort's safety was the most important.
