Lord Cheng's Mansion

Danfengmen

Is he going to send

Tianyou to Beiqi?

Your Majesty,

since Lord Cheng returned to the capital city,

I've received many memorials

from officials in the North.

They put pressure on the court

and ignored the government officials' orders.

Earl of Qinghe can do nothing in the North.

Officials agree outwardly but disagree inwardly.

Your Majesty,

as long as Lord Cheng is still there,

the border will never be peaceful.

Your Majesty,

please remove Lord Cheng

from the military service

and punish him

for his abuse of power

and action without authorization.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Your Majesty,

please make a final decision.

We can't make presumptuous speculations.

God knows

my loyalty

to Your Majesty

and the court.

I don't want to explain today.

I just

have a request.

I'm old

and suffer from dull pain

because of the injuries

in this battle,

so I hope Your Majesty

can agree to my resignation

from my military post.

Well,

you share

the same idea with me.

I know

you've fought outside throughout the year

and worked for the nation with great merits.

You also suffer from injuries.

Well,

recuperate

from them

in the capital city.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Take care of yourself.

I wish you get well soon.

Your Majesty,

if the court still needs me,

I'll

shrink from no sacrifice.

Lord Cheng resigned from the post?

To be exact,

he was actually demobilized.

To save his face,

His Majesty didn't fire him directly.

Lord Cheng must

have his own consideration.

He gets nothing

but an empty title.

All his powers were deprived.

Lord Cheng is a minister of high position.

By rights, he should at least take a post with very little to do,

but His Majesty

deprived all his powers.

His Majesty wants to tell the public

Lord Cheng's resignation

isn't a normal resignation

but punishment.

There're many discussions on the streets.

People say Lord Cheng is greedy for combat achievements

and eager to provoke a battle between our state and Beiqi

to force His Majesty

to return his military power to him,

and His Majesty had to

dismiss him in disguise.

I'll go and meet Lord Cheng.

Miss Jun.

Jiuling.

I was about to meet you.

How is your father?

After resignation, he feels carefree

and relaxed.

Will you leave?

They'll leave.

Won't you leave?

No,

I'll stay to protect you.

Zhu Zan,

though your father handed over his military power,

His Majesty and Huang Cheng

won't let him go.

It's vital for you

to escort your father and mother

to leave safely.

Easy.

I'm fine.

I don't revenge

rashly.

Jiuling.

Father, mother.

Your Grace.

Miss Jun,

don't worry about me.

I had long thought of this day.

You leave your credit to me,

which will give a handle to others.

You deserve it.

And they aim at me

and my credit

can't be erased.

But His Majesty

is weakening your reputation.

If you

leave your credit to me now,

I'm afraid…

Never mind.

I'd rather you accept the credit.

I'm afraid His Majesty

won't let me enjoy it for long.

It's long enough for you

to complete your matter.

With some reputation,

you can become more popular

and do something greater.

You're a doctor

who cures the sickness and saves the patient.

Even if His Majesty dislikes you,

he can't go against

the will of the people in the end.

Miss Jun,

some people from the imperial palace went to Jiuling Drugstore,

saying Her Majesty Empress wants to see you.

Shopkeeper Chen's carriage is waiting outside.

Okay, I see.

Yes.

Your

Graces,

see you.

May you a safe journey.

We'll leave first.

Jiuling,

promise me something.

Just say.

Don't act as impulsively

as you did last time.

Now I know

it's the most important to live.

If I live, there'll be more chances.

After narrowly

escaping death,

I won't act impulsively again.

Slowly.

Miss Jun,

please go.

I'm waiting for you here.

OK.

We're urgently summoned to the imperial palace again by His Majesty

after the morning court session just ended.

Perhaps something big will happen.

This hypocritical emperor

finally shows his true face.

He stabilizes his throne

and eliminates dissidents,

so he don't have scruples

or need to pretend to be benevolent.

Childe Ning,

protect yourself.

It's good for Lord Cheng

to resign at the height of his prosperity.

I worry his concessions

may drive himself to desperation.

Jiu Ling,

you've closely related to Lord Cheng,

so you should be more careful.

Everyone wants to protect himself

in the chaotic court.

I admire your courage

to fight in the court.

I should lose no time

pacifying the popular feelings in the crisis.

Loyal ministers are bitterly disappointed

and treacherous ones are in power,

leading to the unstable state situation

and disturbed life of the people.

I'll try my best

to save the people and our state

from falling into danger.

Your Majesty,

please

punish Zhu Shan

for his treason.

What?

Minister Huang,

don't make irresponsible remarks

before obtaining evidence.

Your Majesty,

I have evidence.

After Zhu Shan left the North,

officers and soldiers there

have been no longer oppressed by him,

so they submit their memorials

to report his evil deeds one after another.

I know it.

There were

many memorials

about his impeachment.

Your Majesty,

the past impeachments

were launched

by the civil officials in the North,

while this one

it's launched by officers and soldiers there.

I

didn't want to report to Your Majesty

because I didn't believe

he's so bold

and Your Majesty

was rewarding him generously.

So I investigated him

in private,

only to find

more and more his evil deeds have emerged.

He is so rampant

that he even wants to provoke the battle between our state and Beiqi.

I

don't dare to conceal it.

No, no, no.

Lord Cheng

is a military officer favored by the late emperor.

He's of noble character and high prestige.

I don't believe

he could do such a thing.

Your Majesty,

I have the evidence of his crime.

Please read it.

Your Majesty,

this is a letter

between him and the Crown Prince of Beiqi.

It can prove

his crime of colluding with the enemy state

and rebelling against our state.

Jiuling is in the imperial palace.

As the future daughter-in-law of His Grace,

will she be implicated?

That's incredible.

How bold

Zhu Shan is.

I request

to capture Zhu Shan immediately.

I request

to capture Zhu Shan immediately.

There's nothing serious with Her Majesty.

Take good care of her.

Thank you, Dr. Jun.

Huixin,

Her Majesty wants to see you.

Go with me now.

Dr. Jun,

I'll go to report on completion.

Go ahead.

I know the way to leave the imperial palace.

Chu Jiuling,

how do you like your revisit?

I don't know what you're talking about.

What happened?

Miss Jun.

Minister Ning,

where will you go

in a hurry?

Minister Huang, stop kidding.

Surely I'll go to the Imperial Academy.

Your Excellency,

there's no one inside.

Go chase them.

Go chase them.

You finally came to yourself.

Where is this?

This is our marital room.

Help.

Help.

Is there anyone?

Help.

Help.

Help.

Don't shout in vain.

I locked the doors and windows.

Jiuling,

do you know

I feel as if I were in a dream

during the over one year when you left me?

It's

our wedding day today.

And

I've prepared a wedding dress for you.

It's the same

as that you wore when we got married that day.

Do you like it?

You're such a madman.

Madman?

I'm just a madman.

I only love you, forever and ever.

I am just crazy about you alone.

I just love you.

Don't come over.

Okay.

I won't come to you.

Jiuling,

why are you so indifferent to me?

Wearing a different face,

you don't know me?

Can you accept me

as long as I release you?

You're so cruel.

You stand before me

with a different face.

Lu Yunqi,

we're always enemies.

Both of us know it clearly.

Don't be self-sentimental.

Do you blame me

for not saving you

when you

tried to assassinate His Majesty?

I did that to protect you,

-or… -Don't come over.

No.

No. No. No.

You aren't her incarnation.

You're just her.

Jiuling,

-you're back. -What a madman.

-Don't come over. -Jiuling.

-Don't come over. -You're back.

You're back.

-Don't come over. -You're back.

Don't come to me.

Okay.

I won't come to you.

Do you know?

His Majesty has suspected you.

You're safe with me.

Only I can protect you.

Chu Rang is

everything to you.

Just kill me now.

You're everything to me.

You are my beloved girl

and my dead wife.

I don't kill you.

Don't you

like the atmosphere here?

Do you dislike here?

It doesn't matter.

If you dislike here,

we can go anywhere

you like.

You're crazy.

To please you,

-I can go to the ends of the earth with you. -You're crazy.

If you dislike here,

-I can take you to other places. -Don't come over.

Give me this.

Don't come over.

Jiuling.

I'm not mad.

I'm not mad.

Even if I get mad,

I still love you.

How long do you want to lock me here?

No,

I do this to protect you.

See what I prepared for you.

I tried hard to restore the scene

when we got married that day.

Do you dislike that scene?

Never mind.

I'll design it

according to the atmosphere in the Mansion of Prince Huai

as you're familiar with there.

I'll take you to the ends of the earth.

As long as I can be with you,

I'd like to go to the ends of the earth.

Jiuling.

Jiuling.

Okay.

Okay.

I don't come to you.

I don't come to you.

I just stay here.

I just stay here.

I just stay here with you.

Halt.

Halt.

Your Grace,

please go back to the capital city with me.

Whose order?

His Majesty's.

Please receive your punishment

in the capital city.

Receive my punishment?

What crime?

Treason.

Treason?

We've worked for the court for a dozen years.

How can you trump up

our treason?

Zan.

Father.

Will we go back?

I've wielded

this sword, red with blood,

for most of my life,

but I've always used it

to kill those invaders of Beiqi.

I've been driven into an impasse.

I just want to keep my fame.

If you're driven into an impasse,

do you want to be humiliated?

I only use my sword to kill the enemy

rather than our own men.

If you force me hard,

I'd rather die

than be humiliated in the capital city.

Your Grace,

do you know

what your leaving means?

It means I'll become

a traitor as you say.

Yes.

It means you flee to escape punishment.

It means

your treason is confirmed.

Your Grace,

you'll lose your military prestige,

be cast aside by the people

and erase

your military exploits of a dozen years.

I've protected the nation and the people most of my life.

I don't do that to gain high official positions and riches.

Your Grace,

since you're frank and selfless,

please go back to the capital city with me and make it public to the people.

Please don't escape.

People hate traitors to the marrow.

In my lifetime,

I hate disloyal, unfaithful

and disobedient people most.

Unexpectedly, I become

a traitor today.

But do you really believe

I am

a traitor?

I've fought for the safety of Tianyou

most of the life.

I've gone through fire and water

and braved untold danger numerous times,

hoping our people

can have a rich and healthy life.

I am forced to leave the capital city

and accept

the infamy of traitor.

God

and I know

whether I am

a loyal minister

or a traitor.

I have a clear conscience.

Your Grace,

if you can go back with me,

I'll try my best

to speak for you before His Majesty.

Don't choose this wrong way.

I've decided

to hold on

to this way.

Our safety today

all attributes to Your Grace's credit.

Your Grace, may you be safe throughout the journey.

Make way.

Miss Jun.

Miss Jun.

Chen Qi.

Have you got

Miss Jun's news?

I asked several people in private.

They all said

Miss Jun had left

from the south gate at about 4 p.m.

Impossible.

She knows I'm waiting for her here.

If she didn't come here,

she would ask someone to tell me.

She wouldn't ask me

to keep waiting for her here.

Is it because

she had something urgent to deal with

and didn't

have time to tell us in advance?

We worried about her the whole night

as she didn't come back in time

and slept outside last time

when she went to collect herbs

outside the city for young master.

From that time, she has kept telling us

her whereabouts.

How could this be possible?

Well…

Look

around.

She may come back to meet you.

Go and check her information.

OK.

Shopkeeper Liu.

Um.

Shopkeeper Liu,

It's inconvenient for me to talk to you at the gate of the imperial palace,

so I call you here.

Your Excellency Ning, what's the matter?

Is Jiuling missing?

How do you know it?

When I left the imperial palace,

I saw Chen Qi waiting anxiously.

After going back, I couldn't rest assured,

so I asked my servant to inquire at the gate of the imperial palace.

Seeing you're still waiting there,

I know there must be something wrong.

Your Excellency Ning,

to be honest,

Miss Jun is indeed missing.

I'm put in a quandary now.

Can you

find a chance to go to the imperial palace

and help us inquire about her information?

No need.

I know where she is.

It must be related

to Lu Yunqi.

His Excellency Lu?

What shall we do?

His Grace isn't in the capital city,

so no one can go to save her.

Well…

Shopkeeper Liu,

relax.

I'll ask him about her tomorrow.

Let's talk about it after that.

Thank you, Your Excellency Ning.

I'm sorry

for my previous poor attitude to you.

Shopkeeper Liu,

forget it.

It's just a play

agreed by Jiuling and me.

Without doubt,

I still need to keep away from her

before others.

If there is any news about her,

I'll ask my servant to tell you.

Ok.

I'll go back and wait for your news.

Shopkeeper Liu, see you.

Wanton.

Your Majesty, please calm down.

I believed him firmly

and rewarded him generously.

Did I treat him badly?

How could he betray me?

Your Majesty,

Zhu Shan has long planned to revolt.

Please don't

show mercy to him.

Please order

to capture him at once

and kill him on the spot.

Agreed.

Did you take her away?

Minister Lu,

it's improper.

Lord Cheng disobeyed His Majesty's decree and escaped,

confirming his treason.

She disappeared

all of a sudden.

In your opinion, what does His Majesty think?

Is this a threat?

No.

Listen up.

Don't meddle

in our matter.

Minister Lu,

I know you don't hurt her.

Now that you love her,

why not

let her be happy?

It's just

your idea.

This is a note

Mr. Ning asked his servant to send to us.

Lu Yunqi did hide Miss Jun.

I'll go to save her

in Arm Moral Department.

Chen Qi,

calm down.

There's no use in going now.

Be cool.

Then what shall we do?

We can make public Miss Jun's news

and pressurize him by the public opinion.

It was feasible before,

but we can't use it now.

Lord Cheng's treason

is confirmed,

which

will be made public soon.

Consequently,

Lord Cheng will be slandered by people.

Miss Jun

is closely related to their family.

I'm afraid some ill-intentioned people

may make an issue of

her disappearance.

By then,

it's harder to save her.

All

can't work.

What shall we do now?

We can just wait.

Luckily,

Miss Jun is fallen into the hand of Lu Yunqi

rather than His Majesty.

Well,

is there any difference?

His Excellency Lu works for His Majesty.

He has a deep obsession with Jiuling,

so he doesn't

hurt her,

but the demon may kill her.

Dr. Jun.

Is Dr. Jun here?

No.

Didn't she just come back?

My master asked me to invite her,

but why isn't she here?

She has something to deal with in Zezhou,

so she hasn't come back.

When can she come back?

I don't know.

How about

you go to another drugstore?

Terribly sorry.

Okay.

I can't

keep lying to them.

How is Jinxiu in Zezhou?

Your Lordship.

Liu'er.

Your Lordship.

Don't shout.

Chen Qi.

I'm looking for Her Lordship.

Why are you so anxious?

Go to the back yard with me.

I'll tell you slowly.

Go.

Have a look.

Minister Lu.

Minister Lu.

Will you go home

or go to Arm Moral Department?

Minister Lu.

Guess what

they're thinking.

They're probably thinking that

I'm quite bold.

Minister Lu,

can I see her?

Jiuling,

sorry.

I come late.

You must be hungry.

I remember

you liked

the food of Cao's Restaurant.

You said their food is tasty last time,

so I specially bought you some.

Have a taste.

Let me out.

They open late

in the morning.

I'm afraid

they couldn't make tasty food

if I urged them,

so I waited

for a long time.

Are you hungry?

Come on.

Have a bite.

It's tasty.

I know

you want to know the information of Lord Cheng.

He has been convicted of treason by His Majesty.

He'll be sentenced to death

when taken back to the capital city.

Treason?

It's impossible.

Nothing is impossible.

After he dies,

this won't be important.

Lord Cheng can no longer

monopolize the North.

It's His Majesty

who controls the whole state.

The North doesn't belong to him

but the people in the state.

That's not important.

Their competition

has nothing to do with us.

Have a bite,

or it'll get cold

and taste bad.

Let me out.

Have a bite.

Have a bite and then we can talk about it.

Jiuling,

I'm your husband.

Just call me Yunqi.

You can't win my heart.

You make me sick.

It doesn't matter.

Anyhow,

I'm your family, right?

I can protect you.

I'll secure you in the future.

Go out.

You become thin.

Eat some.

Have a shrimp,

okay?

Go out, okay?

Calm down.

By the way,

to protect you,

people of Jiuling Drugstore

tell others you're in Zezhou.

Today,

Ning Yunzhao

asked me

whether he could come to see you.

How funny.

I know

he likes you.

And he

likes

both your appearance

and your soul.

As expected,

he, a scholar,

is more insightful than me.

Get out.

You can't find his whereabouts.

Does he demonically vanish?

Your Majesty,

being a minister for several decades,

Lord Cheng has had many friends.

Many people

have covered him

all the way,

so he can escape smoothly.

Go check

who helped him in private.

Your Majesty, don't worry.

Minister Lu

will capture him

sooner or later.

Your Majesty,

our men found his whereabouts

nearby Malüe Pass the last time.

He should head for Baozhou.

The North?

How dare he go to the North?

Will he go to bite the hook?

Your Majesty,

I'll go and inform His Grace Earl of Qinghe.

Minister Huang,

you can leave.

Yes.

Have you

completed the task?

Because of the division of Deshengchang,

Jun Jiuling

has returned to Zezhou.

I

have ordered Jin Shiba to go there.

The Fang family failed,

and the Zhu family lost their power.

This is a great chance.

You can't miss it.

I got it.
