Your Highness!

Your Highness, we have rushed here to aid you.

Forgive me for arriving late.

Good. Set out for Ningshuo immediately.

Yes!

[Ningshuo]

- Prince! - Save me!

Someone save me!

It's not me!

It's not me! It's not me!

- Princess Consort! - Princess Consort help us! - Save us!

- Princess Consort! - Princess Consort!

- Please save me! - Save us!

Princess Consort.

Princess Consort, I'm innocent!

Princess Consort!

General Song.

Princess Consort! Princess Consort!

It's not me! I'm innocent!

I would rather die than betray Princess Consort.

Open the door.

General Song, you know me.

I've been at the manor for so many years. Even if I have not done any meritorious deeds, I have worked hard.

I couldn't possibly betray His Highness!

It must be Yu Xiu. It has to be that damn brat!

She's new to the manor and her background is unknown.

Also, since she's entered the manor, she has always been by Princess Consort's side.

She knows Princess Consort's every move.

It's definitely her. It has to be her! It must be that damn brat!

Besides you, who else knew that the prince and I left the manor?

I don't know.

I may have known that,

but there is no way I would tell others.

I've been at the manor for so many years now. I know the rules.

Is your husband, Senior Officer Lu, considered "others?"

I...

He...

He is always at the military barracks.

I haven't seen him for days now.

That's really strange, then.

We haven't seen him for days now, either.

Tell me clearly.

I don't know.

But I can swear that I did not

tell anyone about the whereabouts of you and His Highness.

If I did, may I be struck with lightning and die a horrible death.

Get up. Come with me.

Princess Consort, His Highness has ordered

that all the servants who knew about this must be detained and interrogated.

I will explain this to His Highness myself.

Okay.

Princess Consort, Madam Lu confessed.

Princess Consort. Princess Consort, I'm begging you!

It's all my fault! I was ungrateful!

But I really did not have any choice!

They kidnapped my husband and children. I did not have a choice!

I'm begging you, please save them! Save them! Please help me!

Send people to look for them.

If they are still alive,

let them see her.

Yes!

Release everyone who's innocent!

- Thank you, Princess Consort! - Yes, Ma'am!

Thank you, Princess Consort! Thank you, Princess Consort!

Buns!

- Buns! - Move aside.

Move aside.

We don't need any of these thick ones. It gets warmer as we head south.

Yes.

Your body is so cold that when you hug me, it's not comfortable at all.

Packing so many things, where are you planning on going?

I'm going with you.

Didn't you say you will lead the army south in a few days?

What's the matter?

The day after tomorrow, I'll have Huai'en escort you back to the capital.

Why?

Why would I go back to the capital?

Xiao Qi, are you abandoning me again?

Who do you think I am?

Your father's letter.

You can look at it now.

[My daughter A'wu, your mother is gravely ill. Father.]

My father wrote this letter.

I'm really afraid.

I would rather he lie to me,

than for something to happen to mother.

They are your parents after all.

You can only face them and not run away from them.

I also wish that everything wasn't real.

However, if I really didn't let you go back,

I'm afraid that you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

No wonder you didn't let me read this letter yesterday.

You even dropped your military duties to take me to the grasslands.

Yesterday...

was the most unforgettable day of my life.

Then the day after tomorrow, I'll set off for the capital.

Just go back.

Huai'en is still waiting for me downstairs. I'll be back in a bit.

It's so late, where are you going?

The leader of the assassins has been caught.

So quickly? Who is it?

General of Fenwei, Du Meng.

I, Du Meng,

greet Princess Consort Yuzhang.

I never would have thought that it would be you,

the loyal and righteous General Du.

Have you forgotten, Your Highness?

After the fall of the Xie Clan, your father removed all of us from our official positions.

There's no general here.

Noble Consort Xie's poisoning brought down many.

But that is definitely not the reason for your attempt to assassinate Prince Yuzhang.

Princess Consort, I did not do this for revenge.

In actuality, it is

to eliminate my Great Cheng's

treacherous ministers and villains.

Treacherous ministers and villains?

You dare call Prince Yuzhang a traitor?

You are also a soldier who has years of experience on the battlefield.

Ask your own conscience.

Have you ever met a traitor like His Highness,

who would use his own life

to protect the border from enemies?

Yes.

Before, I respected all that Prince Yuzhang had done for my empire.

But now Wang Lin is in control of the state of affairs

and his son-in-law holds great military powers.

Prince Yuzhang must die.

That's all that needs to be said. I will say no more.

If you say more,

then you still have a chance to live.

Live?

I, Du Meng, just ask for death now.

Do you understand everything now?

Who is backing Xie Yuan?

Xie Yuan has already been removed from his post.

Who can dispatch and mobilize Xu Shou and Du Meng?

Only one person. Emperor Uncle.

Impossible...

Since I was young, my emperor uncle had doted on me the most.

He wouldn't let any harm come to me.

Indeed, it's impossible.

After he was poisoned, he suffers from hysteria and cannot manage state affairs anymore.

There's someone using the emperor's name?

Sending soldiers to take our lives.

Who can it be?

There are so many people who want to take my life. Who knows who it is this time?

So you're that important?

All those who have power are fighting to get a hold of you.

It is not I who is important, but military power that is important.

Then, why take my life?

What are you laughing about?

Then I can only blame my father-in-law.

Who told him to marry you off to me?

I dragged you into this.

Right now, it is not clear who dragged whom into all this.

In any case, we are "grasshoppers tied to the same vine." (In the same boat)

Neither one of us can escape.

You're the grasshopper.

I'm not.

- Prime Minister, forgive me for not coming to welcome you sooner. - Duke Huan.

Prime Minister, how did you have the time to come today?

- Father-in-Law - Son-in-Law.

- Father. - Mi'er.

We prepared some modest gifts for you.

Please accept them.

Prime Minister, you are too courteous.

I should be.

- Prime Minister, please. - All right.

Please, please.

Today, let's drink our hearts out then!

Okay.

This way.

No wonder you never go anywhere when you come to the capital, Duke Huan.

Turns out you have such a hidden, beautiful place.

Prime Minister, you are embarrassing me. I have three passions in life.

Tea, wine, and odd things.

This manor is small but has everything I need.

If you and Son-in-Law have the chance to visit West Shu,

then you'll see that Huan Manor there is a true hidden beauty.

Sure. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely visit.

- Father. - Yes?

You will be drinking with Father-in-Law. It is not proper for me to be there.

I will leave now.

Go rest.

Prime Minister and Son-in-Law, please.

Mi'er.

Zilu!

Duke Huan, you just said that you have three passions in life.

Looks like there are more than three.

I really do have just three. This is also considered an odd thing.

If you put it like that, all people have this passion.

Great!

Prime Minister and Son-in-Law, have some wine.

Father-in-Law, Mi'er is not feeling well.

I want to go check on her.

How could the ladies of the Huan family be so frail?

Drink, drink.

Go on.

The young couple has a strong affection for each other.

It just so happens that I have matters to discuss with Duke Huan.

- I'm getting old. - I, Su'er, will take my leave.

The hearts of young people are indecipherable. Here, Prime Minister.

The blame is on this atmosphere that you have made to be too alluring.

Have some wine, have some wine.

Prime Minister can be at ease. Even though my Huan family is not as powerful as your Wang Clan,

my troops will do their parts.

We are in-laws.

Thus, we are one family.

Prime Minister, you have your son-in-law, Prince Yuzhang, in command in the north.

In the south, you have my Huan Clan's protection.

Prime Minister, a toast to you.

Good.

Duke Huan, we have always been one family.

That's right. One family.

Just now, I saw him help you down from the carriage.

You were standing by his side.

Mi'er, I really wanted to chop off Wang Su's, that bastard's, hand.

Young Master!

Young Master, Young Madam just fell asleep.

Please come back later.

Zilu, I'm begging you.

Just endure it for a bit longer.

Hurry and hide. Hurry!

Goodbye, Heir Apparent.

- Young Master, Young Master, don't! - Zilu, hurry and hide.

I'm begging you! - Don't go in!

Move aside!

Husband, why are you here?

Father said that if you can't give me a son,

my concubine's son must move to live in the side court.

Right now, you must bear a legitimate son for me.

No, this is Huan Manor.

I don't care that much.

Wang Su! Let me go!

Wang Su! Are you crazy?

Let me go! Let go!

This is Huan Manor, not Wang Manor.

Wang Su!

Wang Su, are you crazy?

Look carefully. I'm not Zhu Yan.

Of course, I know you're not Zhu Yan.

Grand Elder Princess, it's been a difficult journey.

Let's freshen you up first.

A'Xu, why are you crying?

I feel awful in my heart.

Grand Elder Princess, you are a person of noble birth.

When have you ever suffered like this before?

I, on the other hand, feel that coming here to be surrounded by Buddha and chants

has made my heart feel much more at ease.

Food, clothing, and other material goods are all just worldly possessions.

Only a peaceful heart is something that is difficult to achieve.

If it were just ten days or half a month, then that would be fine.

However, this temple is really not a place to stay for any time longer than that.

Besides, our patriarch wouldn't agree, either.

When he comes to understand,

he will naturally know that this is the best way for us.

Master, you are finally back.

What is it?

Grand Elder Princess went to pray in Ci'an Temple today,

but she is still not back yet.

I sent people to urge her to return soon, but Senior Maidservant Xu stopped them,

saying that the Grand Elder Princess is not coming back to the manor.

Then just let her stay at the temple for a few days to pray and eat vegetarian food.

Hearing the tone of what she said, it does not seem to be only for a few days.

It seems that from today onward, she will not be coming back to the manor.

No one has ever embroidered clothing for me before.

Then I will embroider clothes for you to wear from now on.

- Promise? - Promise.

That day, at the edge of the cliff,

that moment when I grabbed your hand,

I knew you were the one for me that day

for the rest of my life.

On that day...

and for the rest of my life.

[Ci'an Temple]

It is already late and the prayers have ended.

Please come back tomorrow.

Senior Nun, I am wrong to disturb the quiet night of the temple.

It is just that those who care become entangled.

I want to know if my wife is inside.

Prime Minister, Grand Elder Princess is indeed living in the temple.

However, she has said that she will not see anyone.

Even if you, Prime Minister, came... you are not an exception.

How dare you! How dare you talk like that to the Prime Minister?

Wang'an.

Senior Nun, please rest assured.

They shall all wait here.

You just need to let my servant and I, the two of us, enter.

There are many insects here at this temple.

I already lit incense to expel the insects.

You should be able to rest well at night.

Jinruo,

stop throwing a tantrum.

Come back to the manor with me.

Prime Minister, the affection between us for this lifetime has already ended.

If we continue like that, we will just grow to hate each other.

Why force it?

Jinruo, I know you blame me.

However,

A'Wu will come back to the capital soon.

Could it be...

that you want her to still worry about her parents and family?

Our daughter is already grown.

She will understand my decision.

Ask yourself this. Sleeping next to me every night,

are you not afraid that

I will... have thoughts of killing you once again?

Jinruo,

I believe that you will give up that thought in the end.

Yes.

I have already given it up.

I may be your wife,

but I am also a daughter of the imperial family.

Others don't know of your ambitions,

but I know them very well.

If you can let go of your greed and ambitions,

I can go back with you.

Otherwise, just let me go.

Consider it your last bit of pity for me.

Okay.

Then you live here for some time.

In a few days, I will come again.

Master, you waited all night and Madam...

Your letter has been sent for many days now.

Prince Consort has probably already received it.

That's right.

If I didn't use this method,

why would A'Wu come back?

That's right.

But given Princess Consort's personality,

if she cannot see Madam when she is back,

I'm afraid...

What are you afraid of?

She's my daughter.

I know her well.

Grand Elder Princess... Come visit her often.

If there is a shortage of daily necessities, provide more immediately.

Yes.

Under the His Highness's command, I will escort you back to the capital, Princess Consort.

Thank you for your hard work, General Song.

I never would have thought that I would get used to life here.

I even became fond of this place.

I'm a little reluctant to leave.

Reluctant to leave Ningshuo?

Or reluctant to leave me?

I will miss Ningshuo.

Even more so, I will miss you.

Take care of yourself.

I will be back as soon as possible.

Go on.

Princess Consort is mighty! Princess Consort is mighty! Princess Consort is mighty! Princess Consort is mighty! Princess Consort is mighty!

[Ningshuo]

Why hasn't Zitan arrived yet?

Replying to Empress Mother. I have sent people to get him many times.

I don't know why he is not here yet.

Imperial Father, I was unwell so am a bit late.

Please forgive me.

Third Brother, you are too difficult to invite.

I sent people to invite you here three or four times.

It's rare that we have a family banquet, yet you come late.

I, Zitan, am ashamed.

Sit.

Thank you, Imperial Father.

Beloved Consort, look. Our son's temperament is truly unparalleled.

On your birthday, let's bestow a marriage to A'Wu and him, what do you think?

Your Majesty.

Who are you talking to?

Of course, Zitan's Consort Mother.

Look at how beautifully she's dressed today.

Empress Mother!

Empress, what are you doing?

She didn't provoke you.

Empress Mother!

Start the banquet.

Begin the banquet.

Imperial Father, I would like to make a toast to you.

May you recover soon.

Older Brother.

Say, do you think Noble Consort Xie is actually back?

Today, I was looking at that corner

and there was really a shadow sitting there.

If it's not her, then who would it be?

Even if it's her, so what?

Consort Xie was not your match when she was alive.

After death, she is a mere sliver of spirit, what is there to fear?

No. It's her!

She's really back!

Stop scaring yourself! She's dead.

But the emperor...

He's also insane.

Why do I keep feeling like he didn't become insane?

We have been married for many years.

I keep having this feeling.

Listen. Whether he is truly insane or not,

Prince of Jianning's army is only a few hundred kilometers from the capital now,

so keeping him alive is to our best advantage.

As for later, in the future...

What about later, in the future?

As for later, in the future,

I will naturally have plans.

Don't worry.

Don't come closer! Don't come closer!

Didn't you say that as long as I don't hurt your son and the Xie family,

then you'd willingly die?

It's not my fault! It's not, it's not.

It's not me! It's not me! It's not me!

Empress, what's wrong?!

Go! Go light every candle in this place!

Get everyone here!

Yes.

Urgent report!

Eunuch Xue.

Your Majesty, Prince of Jianning's troops are approaching Huizhou.

Prince of Jianning?

Who is Prince of Jianning?

Prince of Jianning is your blood brother.

What's wrong with him?

He has led his troops to rebel.

Good.

Very good.

Yes.

[Ningshuo]
