Princess Consort, the western gate is in a critical situation.

We have already sent all our defending troops.

We must not admit defeat until the very last moment.

Yes, Princess Consort.

Hurry! Hurry! Move aside! Hurry!

- Make way! - Physician!

Physician! Physician!!

Coming!

There is already no hope for Huizhou. Leave with me.

You also see the devastation everywhere you look.

- If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late. - Stop saying all these things to me.

Princess Consort! Princess Consort! Princess Consort!

Reporting to Your Highness. The western gate has been breached.

The soldiers have already retreated into the streets to block the rebel army.

The situation is critical and dangerous. Your Highness, please leave to go elsewhere.

How is the southern gate?

There are great casualties.

General Song and General Mou are leading the remaining soldiers in defending the city with everything they have.

I am afraid— I am afraid they won’t be able to resist for too much longer.

- Pang Gui. - Your Highness.

Gather manpower. Evacuate everyone through the rear entrance.

Yes, Your Highness.

- Everyone listen! - A’Wu.

Everyone, listen carefully. Follow this brave hero and leave immediately.

Quickly go.

Everyone follow me! Common people shall leave!

- Come with me! - A’Wu. - Quickly lift him up and walk that way.

You have also heard it. The rebel army has already broken through the city gate.

If you don’t leave, then you will only be waiting for death.

Enough, Your Highness the Third Prince!

I would rather die here than leave.

A’Wu! Why are you this stubborn?

Haven’t I already said enough?

Zitan, please remember

that you are the Third Prince of Great Cheng.

At this moment in time, you should be protecting your people.

Protecting your imperial father’s empire.

Please stop pestering me about any romantic relations.

You also shouldn’t run away in the face of a battle and be afraid of death.

A’Wu! I’m afraid of death?

I rushed from the capital to Huizhou, for whom?!

It’s to rescue you!

What I want is not for you to save only my life.

Fine.

I’ll tell you right now why I fell in love with Xiao Qi.

Do you know what Xiao Qi is doing at this moment?

He is shedding blood on the battlefield to protect Great Cheng!

As for you? What are you doing?

Zitan, I never wanted to hurt you.

However, right now, I must tell you that I am disappointed in you.

[Huizhou]

Your Highness?

Brothers, attack!

Brother, kill!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Careful. Go forward.

Hurry! Everyone, follow along!

- Hurry. - Let’s go.

Everyone, hurry. Hurry and move forward.

Quickly!

Everyone, hurry!

[Governor’s Manor]

Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry and close the gate! What are you waiting for?

Hurry and go this way. Careful, child.

Quickly.

- Everyone, come this way! - Head for the door.

- Everyone, go this way. - Hurry!

Hurry. Be careful.

- Let’s go. - Be careful.

- Mom! - Hurry.

- Yu Xiu! - Coming!

- Yu Xiu! - Help her.

- Hurry and go. - Be careful.

Come this way!

Head to the door. Be careful. Head to the door!

Hurry and go.

Princess Consort, it’s dangerous!

I’ll go buy us more time.

Go towards the rear.

I will escort you away from here, Princess Consort.

If the enemy army breaks in, I will certainly die facing them.

I definitely will not let them use me to threaten His Highness.

Open the doors.

[Xiao]

I am the commander of the Huizhou guards. Greetings, Your Highness.

Prince of Jianning’s rebel forces have already fled in all directions. We have won.

Soldiers, you have worked hard!

Inevitable victory! Inevitable victory! Inevitable victory! Inevitable victory!

Princess Consort is both brave and ingenious. She is the true heroine amongst all of us.

She’s many times stronger than we men. I, Old Hu, admire you.

General Hu, you overpraise me.

Even if I had exceeding talents,

I wouldn’t have been able to achieve anything without the help of General Mou and General Song.

Princess Consort, you exaggerate. If not for Princess Consort...

Indeed, Princess Consort’s contributions are the greatest.

If Princess Consort had not ridden out of the city to meet Prince of Jianning unaccompanied,

I’m afraid Huizhou would have fallen into the hands of the rebel forces by now.

It turns out my princess consort is a female Zhuge. (T/N: Zhuge Liang was a politician and military strategist during the Three Kingdoms period.)

I don’t dare take on the title of “female Zhuge.”

I’m already extremely fortunate for not disgracing you, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

You and Her Highness are a perfect match.

His Highness is mighty! Princess Consort is mighty! His Highness is mighty! Princess Consort is mighty!

- Fill up their cups for them. - Here, here, here.

- Fill up their cups for them. - Come on!

Make way, make way, make way!

- All thanks to His Highness for arriving just in time. - Isn’t that right?!

The wine is here!

Your Highness, Prince of Jianning is such a good person!

Not only did he fail to capture Huizhou, but he also left us all these things.

Such a good person.

This time, he was fortunate. The next time he meets us will be when he dies.

Just let him live for a few more days.

Brothers!

Brothers!

This battle was not easy on anyone.

In my heart,

all of you are great fellows!

His Highness is mighty!

Carry on drinking!

Your Highness, I must say, Princess Consort was the one who was heroic and brave.

If she had gotten us one more day, I fear that we would not be having this celebratory banquet.

I wonder what she said to Prince of Jianning.

We were all sweating profusely as we watched Princess Consort from atop the city walls.

Princess Consort is the true heroine amongst us all. I really admire her greatly.

General Song, you’re not the only one who admires her.

There’s not a single person in the entire city of Huizhou who would not submit to her.

That is our prince’s woman.

That means that Princess Consort is the one with the greatest meritorious service.

When has His Highness ever boasted like this before?

Then... I will give a glorious toast to my Princess Consort Yuzhang.

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

Princess Consort is mighty!

Greetings, Your Highness the Third Prince.

Princess Consort, I have something to report.

What is it that’s made you so anxious?

This subordinate was patrolling the city tonight

when I caught an imperial guard who had a secret letter hidden on him.

He was trying to secretly deliver news about the battle here at Huizhou.

I have about uncovered the truth. This person is a guard who serves closely by Prince Yuzhang’s side.

Sending men to watch their enemy before the battle

is a very common practice. That is not that strange.

But I found the Wang clan’s insignia on the secret letter.

The Wang clan’s insignia?

[A letter reporting on the current situation of Huizhou with the Wang clan’s insignia in red.]

Where is this person now?

The person already committed suicide in prison.

Did he have any accomplices?

[A letter reporting on the current situation of Huizhou with the Wang clan’s insignia in red.]

Prince Yuzhang,

you... killed the enemy in cold-blood and protected Great Cheng.

A great hero.

You’ve saved us all.

We all thank you... for your grace in saving us.

Your Highness the Third Prince, you flatter me.

I, Prince Yuzhang, Xiao Qi, came late.

No! No.

You came at just the right time.

You seize the moment and have the best timing every single time.

Your Highness the Third Prince, you are right.

His Highness has been in many battles for many years,

and saves us at the most critical moments every time.

Enough, enough, enough.

Tonight, I came...

bringing the best peach blossom wine

especially for your... celebration.

This wine...

is... my old friend’s favorite wine.

Since I am able to drink together with you, Prince Yuzhang,

we mustn’t stop until we’re drunk.

I, Xiao Qi, do not drink wine.

With water in place of wine, I shall share this drink together with you, Your Highness the Third Prince.

You’re drinking water?

Drink wine.

Your Highness the Third Prince, it is like this.

His Highness has said before that commanders must be clear-headed at all times.

He has not broken this rule in years.

That’s right, Your Highness.

However, we are very happy that you gave us face and came today.

How about I drink on behalf of His Highness?

Not just anyone can drink this wine.

Come on. I shall drink first as a sign of respect.

People will look down on you for drinking water.

Prince Yuzhang, drink a cup.

- Drink a cup. - Your Highness.

- I already said that not just anyone can drink this wine! - Your Highness.

The wine is spilled now.

His Highness is drunk.

Help him back to the regional manor to rest.

Go away!

Does this really count as good wine?

It’s okay.

Then continue drinking.

- Continue drinking! - Continue drinking!

Come on!

Come on, come on! Let’s drink!

This is good wine!

I know that my father never truly trusted Xiao Qi

and Xiao Qi never trusted my father, either.

The moment I stepped out of my home in my wedding gown,

Father no longer treated me as the daughter whom he held most closely to his heart.

He used Xiao Qi and was guarded towards Xiao Qi.

He has placed eyes and ears by Xiao Qi’s side.

Together, alienated with Xiao Qi,

is me, his daughter.

If one day they become enemies

and I am trapped between my father and husband,

what would I do?

Why are you standing here?

You reek of wine yet you say that you don’t drink?

I didn’t drink.

There was someone who made a ruckus at the celebratory banquet

and spilled wine all over me.

Who would be so rude?

Don’t ask.

At today’s celebratory banquet,

it would have been great if you were there.

You would have heard how I praised you.

How did you praise me?

In this battle, you were the greatest meritorious stateswoman.

If you weren’t there, what would we possibly have to celebrate?

Stateswoman?

I used to be a young, frail, delicate, beautiful lady.

Now I’ve turned into a furious Jingang whose face and head are covered in grime. (金刚 Jīngāng or Vajrapani, the bodhisattva protector of Buddha)

You really do resemble him.

The one who made a ruckus at the celebratory banquet... was Zitan, right?

Even if you don’t tell me, I know.

Seeing him this time,

I suddenly realized that I have long let go of everything in the past.

Childhood sweethearts.

You both used to laugh happily together without guilt.

You just let it all go?

Why does it sound like jealousy?

I am indeed jealous.

Who told you to appear so late?

You should use the rest of your life repaying me.

You’re that overbearing?

Are you not willing?

I am not willing.

How is a lifetime enough?

I also want your next life

and next-next life.

How long can you stay here in Huizhou this time?

I must leave very soon.

To where?

This time, I only managed to defeat Prince of Jianning’s vanguard.

His strength may have taken a huge blow, but his main forces survived.

Will he make a comeback?

He will.

I will return to the capital and be reunited with you once I’ve eliminated the rebel forces.

He will definitely...

have a showdown with you.

You must be careful.

Don’t worry.

Greetings, Your Highness the Second Prince.

What is it?

Princess Consort Yuzhang colluded with the city’s commander,

forced Xie Yuan to die, and captured Wu Qian.

They’ve regained control of Huizhou City.

Prince Yuzhang came to their aid

and defeated Prince of Jianning.

That means that Prince of Jianning was actually defeated by a woman.

Prince of Jianning has already retreated to protect Lingyang.

He’s resting and reorganizing his men in preparation to battle the Ningshuo Army again.

Your Highness the Crown Princess.

I asked you to come because I want you to make your way to Huizhou immediately.

Keep an eye on this Su Jin’er. Watch her to see whether she gives the medicine to Wang Xuan to drink.

This medicine is very poisonous.

With the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, the person who has ingested this

will vomit blood from intestinal rupture and die.

If the deed is accomplished, kill Su Jin’er.

If not, find an opportunity to make a move on Wang Xuan.

I obey.

Returning to the capital this time will be different than before.

This blade has been with me on the battlefield for many years.

It can cut iron as if it is mud and has protected my life many times.

Keep it with you.

I also arranged for my two best scouts to be with you.

- Greetings, Prince and Princess Consort. - Greetings, Prince and Princess Consort.

They have great martial arts skills. They are loyal and reliable.

From now on, they will act as maidservants by your side, protecting you.

It’ll also make me feel more at ease.

You should still come back soon.

Certainly.

Prince and Princess Consort, breakfast is ready.

I heard Yu Xiu say you have been thinking of me these days.

Yu Xiu spoke nonsense.

Turns out that Yu Xiu was lying?

I dare not.

Hurry and eat.

Your Highness, why didn’t Princess Consort come to send you off? [Shende Court]

She can’t stand to see me leave, so I didn’t let her come send me off.

You must be careful this time on your return to the capital.

Yes.

[Shende Court]

What is it that has you hesitating?

It seems that Third Prince has not given up his sinful affections for Her Highness.

Let him be. You just take good care of Her Highness.

Yes.

[Qingle Tea House]

Set out!

[Xiao]

[Governor’s Manor]

I think that he is comparatively less than His Highness, by this little.

No, just a little tiny bit.

If you like General Song then, on another day, I can ask him about it

and see if... he likes you.

No, no, no. He is a general.

In the future, he will be conferred to be an even greater general.

I am just a maid.

How can I be worthy of him?

However, I really, really like General Song.

Just like how His Highness likes Your Highness.

So hopeless.

Your Highness.

There was a girl named Su Jin’er at the door, asking to see you.

- Who? - Su Jin’er.

Jin’er?

Jin’er is back.

Jin’er!

Jin’er is back.

- I am back. - Jin’er.

Your Highness, I looked everywhere,

but I could not find you.

I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime.

Today... I have finally found you today.

Your Highness, during my absence,

you have probably suffered.

It’s great that you’re back.

Why is my mouth so dry?

Why are you all here?

Then isn’t there no one there to serve Her Highness?

Rest assured, Older Sister Yu Xiu.

Right now, there is someone there at all times to serve the Princess Consort.

We cannot even do anything.

What does that mean?

Older Sister, you will know once you go and see.

I’ll go and see.

Your Highness, after not seeing you for such a long time,

I feel that you have changed.

Under the circumstances, how could I not change?

Does Prince Yuzhang treat you well?

You really fell in love with him?

Did you forget how he treated you on your wedding night?

That... What about the Third Prince?

Who are you to be speaking nonsense here?

Yu Xiu.

This is your older sister, Jin’er.

I often mentioned her before.

Jin’er, this is Yu Xiu.

Younger Sister Yu Xiu.

So you are Older Sister Jin’er.

Her Highness mentioned you often.

We didn’t expect to actually find you.

During this time when I was separated from Her Highness,

you worked hard, Younger Sister Yu Xiu, at taking care of Her Highness.

Your Highness, you really should not drink anymore.

After Her Highness was kidnapped,

I was so worried that I did not know what to do.

I was only able to go to the imperial mausoleum to find His Highness the Third Prince.

Third Prince brought me along as he searched from the imperial mausoleum all the way to Huizhou.

Then, from Huizhou, we returned to the capital.

This time, he came back to Huizhou just to save you, Princess Consort.

How was he saving Her Highness?

He was clearly taking advantage of His Highness’s absence to steal Her Highness.

Yu Xiu, how I let you become too willful?

So rude.

Your Highness, Younger Sister Yu Xiu is just protecting you.

Indeed, you cannot drink any more wine. I will go pour you a cup of tea.

- I’ll go. - No need.

You keep Her Highness company, I’ll go.

Your Highness, is it really as they said?

Now that Older Sister Jin’er is back, you don’t need me anymore.

You silly girl, I thought you were sincerely protecting His Highness.

It turns out you’re just here being jealous.

Who said that?

Your Highness, I’m sorry.

Since you are in love with Prince Yuzhang now,

your affection for Third Prince must be different from before.

You grant me this wish

and forget about Third Prince.

- Older Sister Jin’er. - Yes?

Her Highness said that since you two have not seen each other for such a long time,

- she asked that you go back and let me do it. I will bring some snacks back as well. - Okay.

T-Then... I’ll trouble you, Young Sister.
