Oh My General

The General has abnormal menstrual cycles. I fear that she might have long lost the ability to give birth.

What? This disloyal, unfilial, and disrespectful daughter-in-law, it's better to just divorce her!

Mother-in-law, calm your anger!

Prince Qi destroyed your voice and made you a mute. And now, he's colluding with Western Xia.

He has committed a grave crime and is the enemy of our Song.

Take this handkerchief and quickly escape.

Go to the Nanping Junwang Manor in Dongjing and find the Nanping Junwang.

And then give this handkerchief to General Ye Zhao.

As the Princess Consort, you still have to consider the continuation of the family's bloodline.

You must prioritize the general situation.

Ah Zhao's body was initially as strong as a dragon and a tiger.

But since she married me, she has becaome weaker.

I surely didn't take good care of her.

- Xian'er. - What are you doing?

- Xian'er, I love you! - Let me go!

Xian'er, be my woman, Xian'er!

I would rather die!

Xian'er!

How is the health of that female general in your house?

Recently, she's quite severely ill.

I don't know why she keeps coughing out blood.

Good heavens, is that blood?

Episode 41

How is the health of that female general in your house?

Recently, she's quite ill.

I don't know why she keeps coughing out blood.

I fear that it might be an old illness from the battlefield that's relapsing.

I wonder if she took the wrong medicine.

It's quite worrysome if you see her.

Medicines are for curing illness.

How can her health get worse from taking them?

For the past few months, the medicines for the General were all brewed by me,

but her health has been getting worse.

I'm worried...

Sister Jiyu,

is there anything that should be avoided when taking that "Child Bringing Prescription?"

Why would there be any food to avoid in a prescription for conceiving?

As for you, it has been months and you are still not favored by Junwang.

No matter how good the prescription is, you can't create a baby out of nothing.

I'm worried about the General.

In order to express your loyalty, could you have given the prescription for conceiving to the General?

You are really a meek and virtuous concubine.

What illness can occur from taking that prescription?

There seems to be some kind of deal in their conversation.

It can't be that you gave the other prescription to the General.

Sister Jiyu,

I wonder if the contraceptive medicine is toxic.

What are you talking about?

You are making me confused.

What I gave you, it's for helping to conceiving babies and not for preventing babies.

The owner of the brothel used to force us to take this kind of contraceptive medicine.

I'm just curious. I wonder if this contraceptive prescription...

What's wrong?

I was told by some ladies that the both of you are here. I wanted to deliver these cakes to you.

Two insects suddenly fell onto my cakes and caused me to drop them.

They wasted my cakes.

It seems like they liked your snacks and fought for them.

That's right.

Dear Madams, the General is not feeling well.

I'm leaving now.

General Ye is sick? What's wrong with her?

We couldn't find out the cause. Perhaps she got ill from her battles.

Since there is someone sick in your home, you should go back now.

Visit us when you are free.

Lie down, lie back down.

Xiao Xiazi, get a chair for her.

Yes.

Just lie down, General Yi.

You have always been healthy. Why did you suddenly fall sick?

My husband told me to bring this hundred-year-old ginseng

to aid your recovery.

Thank Lord Hai for his concerns.

Xiao Xiazi, take it.

Yes.

General Ye, what is your illness?

I feel congested and weak. I pant and cough out blood, too.

The Imperial Physician couldn't find out the cause.

What prescription have you been taking?

Why don't you change it?

I've tried many prescriptions. None of them seem to work.

Are you anxious to have children with the Junwang?

I'm not,

but my mother-in-law wants a grandson.

I want a child to fulfill her wish.

Frankly, it's not difficult for you to be pregnant.

The Junwang's and your health have always been good.

It shouldn't be a problem for you to have a child within these two years.

Regarding your recovery,

I would like to give you some advice.

When you fought in the battles, you lived and ate with the soldiers.

You didn't take any tonics and your health has always been good.

You are married to the Junwang now. You eat fine food every day

and your health is declining.

In my opinion, you should stay far away from those prescriptions and tonics.

It has been time since I heard such direct words.

Yes, let's throw them away.

Xiao Xiazi, you may leave us.

Yes.

General Ye, there is something I need to tell you.

Frankly, Concubine Yang...

Yujin, why haven't they delivered the herbal soup yet?

Xiao Xiazi, go and rush them.

Also, tell them to brew a bottle of Frozen Rose Flower tea and bring it here.

Yes.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Concubine Yang, is the General's medicinal soup done?

Okay. I'll take a look.

Oh, right. Junwang wants to drink a pot of frozen rose dew tea, too.

I got it.

- Then I'll just come back to get it once you're done brewing it. - Okay.

Bitch! I'll hack you to death with one stroke!

Concubine Yang.

Pretend!

Concubine Yang.

Concubine Yang!

Yujin, quickly check if she's fine.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

She's dead.

In her hand...

there's a wrapper of medicine.

Ignorant wife, you dare foil my plan?

I wanted to help you.

Help me?

You almost harmed me!

Ignorant is ignorant.

If not because my attendant tampered with Concubine Yang's food,

this day next year would be our death anniversary!

This is the poison that Concubine Yang tried to give me before she died.

Old Wang, quickly look. Is it the Child Avoiding Medicine?

How is it?

It's not?

What is it then?

This is a slow poison that can cause a person's heart to weaken.

Six years ago in Bailu Town, after you got stabbed by that masked man with a poisoned dagger,

I wasn't able to reverse your injury and I feel extreme shame about that.

Afterwards, I started to research on several poisons and their antidotes.

That bitch...

- She dared to poison Ah Zhao! - Yujin...

No wonder that my chest kept feeling stuffy, I felt breathless, weak, and even vomited blood lately.

General, how long have you been having such symptoms?

More than two months.

Good thing that your body is very healthy and your ability to resist poison is extraordinary.

If this is another person, he surely would have died.

If you take this poison daily, you will be severely ill in half a month

and dead within a month.

Oh my god. Such a huge danger has been threatening the General every day.

I actually didn't notice it at all. I'm not worthy to be your personal bodyguard.

It's not your fault.

It's really hard to fully know a human's heart.

That Concubine Yang has always been perfect and thorough in handling affairs.

Never thought that her heart would be this sinister. She should have been crushed to pieces!

Military Doctor Old Wang, immediately check the General to see if she's really fine.

Okay.

The poison in your body has directly entered your heart,

and you've been poisoned for quite a long time.

Your strength now is like that of a one-hundred-year-old man.

During treatment, remember to not get exhausted.

In addition, you mustn't get mad

or else, your life will be in danger.

The treatment is a process.

How long will it take?

That's hard to say. General, you must be prepared.

I fear that you would be taking the antidote for half a year.

Also, an antidote is different from other medicines. We mustn't make any mistake.

Hence, I have a request.

The General must agree to it.

Say it.

I will personally prepare your medicine formula and hand it to you.

May General...

designate a specific person that will cook it.

Old Wang, don't worry. I surely will personally cook the medicine.

Okay.

Ah Zhao's body can't endure any more mistakes.

Yujin, I'm not that delicate.

Stop acting tough. You must listen to me right now.

Okay... With Junwang's meticulous care,

I'm sure that the General will recover soon.

General, Junwang! The Princess Consort Dowager and Princess Consort Zhao are here.

Mother.

Mother-in-law, you're here.

How is Ah Zhao's health?

Let me see.

Mother-in-law, please sit.

I...

I heard it from your sister-in-law.

Concubine Yang...

Concubine Yang's heart...

was too sinister.

It was I...

who had such poor eyesight...

that I raised...

a severely evil villain.

Don't cry, Mother.

I'm fine.

It's just that I must eat some antidote right now.

I will be okay soon.

Don't cry.

Mother, stop worrying about my business with Ah Zhao from now on.

Just bring us good food and items.

What Yujin said is right.

From now on, our family

must live happily together.

We must not let those crafty and fawning villains

find a hole to get into. (T/N: a weakness to exploit)

Son...

I was wrong...

It was all my fault...

It's fine, Mother-in-law.

Little Mute, how many times have I told you that you can't go in?

Is the Junwang Manor a place that you can just easily go in if you want to?

- Stop him! - Hurry and leave!

Stop him! Leave!

- Stop him! - Go! Go!

- What's going on? - What are you doing!

- What's wrong? - Go!

Replying to Junwang, General, this is a crazy mute.

It's hard to communicate with him.

This... he has also sat by our doorstep for several days.

I've thought of all kinds of ways.

I've also given him food.

But... he just won't leave.

We were just trying to drive him away right now.

Forget it. He is also quite pitiful.

I'm guessing that he might just be here to avoid the cold weather.

- Just give him some money and ask him to leave. - Okay.

What are you doing?

What are you doing, Little Mute! Don't go there!

- What are you doing? - Little Mute! - Wait!

Xiao Maque?

Xiao Maque? Why did you become like that?

Prince Qi has connived with Western Xia to rebel.

This is Cousin's.

A handkerchief to yearn for my love.

Thinking about you, whether I'm lying or standing straight.

Prince Qi is conniving with Western Xia to revolt.

Who is Prince Qi?

He is the real brother of His Majesty from another mother.

Although he covertly opened a gambling house to amass money,

he can still be said to be very loyal to His Majesty.

An uncle like that...

how could he be planning to revolt?

Prince Qi has a high prestige in the government.

It is indeed unimaginable that he will try to revolt.

But Lu Zhenting was involved with the Beizhou mutiny some time ago.

Could it be that the person behind him who is giving the instructions

is him?

But rebelling is a crime that will get you and your family executed.

Why must he risk doing such a grave crime as that?

Just based on a handkerchief, how can we tell if it's true from a mute?

What if the enemy is trying to frame him?

But you saved Little Sparrow's family.

He wouldn't lie to you.

He left the Capital a long time ago.

This rascal has caused Old Gao a lot of troubles before.

When he was missing, who he met, whether he was under any bad influence,

and if he has conspired anything, we wouldn't know.

Only me, my cousin and Fox knows about this handkerchief.

The words are illegible. She must have written them when she was in danger.

I believe this is a secret letter to us.

Liu Xiyin hates me the most in this world.

If I were to hand this handkerchief to His Majesty

and the result of his investigation is that it's not true,

it will mean that I have tricked him. I will be beheaded.

Your cousin will then hide discreetly

and watch me being flogged and beheaded.

She will applaud

and return to take you.

Even if my cousin wants to take revenge,

she wouldn't use state matters as a joke.

If Western Xia attacks, the first person who will get threatened and our first barrier against them is my uncle, Liu Tiantuo.

My cousin surely knows the gravity of that.

Don't belittle her moral integrity.

After getting bitten by a snake, you tend to be afraid of getting near one for ten years.

Anything that's related to your cousin

will make me doubtful,

but the fiefdom of Prince Qi is in Jiangbei Province.

Your cousin is living in Yongguancheng.

The two of them aren't even in neighboring regions. How then did your cousin know about his rebellious intent?

Then shouldn't everyone already know?

What Husband said is very reasonable.

I wrote Cousin a lot of letters before this, but she hasn't replied to any of them.

What! You have been writing your cousin behind my back?

Apology letters. Don't misinterpret.

Let's go back to seious matters.

Anyway, if I'm Prince Qi,

I wouldn't be stupid enough to tell such things to a vixen.

You think planning a rebellion is as easy as marrying a concubine?

Have you considered that Prince Qi might not know Cousin's real identity?

Xiao Maque wouldn't lie to you.

We've helped him with his problem with Lu Zhenting.

During the capture of Master Li's killer, he came out as a witness to clear your name.

You said that you will take care of the rest of his life.

You even accepted him to your manor. He surely feels indebted to you.

Why then will he lie to you?

He still left.

He said he's going to find his parents.

He went out of the city to look for his father.

While on his way, he accidentally met my cousin?

Stop thinking.

- Won't we know just by asking Xiao Maque? - That's right.

Stupid. Let's go.

Let's go.

Wangyue Ting (Moon Observing Pavilion)

Are you full?

After you left my manor, were you able to find your father?

Xiao Maque, what kind of person gave you this handkerchief?

Is it a man or a woman?

Woman?

Very long hair?

What does she look like?

She is very beautiful?

More beautiful than Junwang?

Her figure... was it like cotton-willow?

Her eyes like grapes. Her mouth like cherry blossoms.

Husband, based on Xiao Maque's description,

this handkerchief must have been sent by Cousin.

She must be in danger and is in the hands of the enemy.

We're here.

Please.

Respectfully welcoming Your Highness the Crown Prince back to the palace!

Okay already. You may all leave now.

Yes.

Xian'er, how about it?

Although Great XIa isn't as prosperous as the Central Plains,

we have abundant products and our livestock industry is very progressive.

Here, the land is vast and the sky is high. Everyone loves singing and dancing.

Life is very simple.

A certain land will raise a certain kind of people.

Xingqing Palace has a majestic architecture and awe-inspiring effect.

If you live here for a few days, you'll know the layout already.

Here, we have a huge royal palace complex.

Oh right, I heard that you also have a royal family temple here and the monarch's summer palace.

May Your Highness the Crown Prince take me to look at it?

Of course.

We also have a military camp here,

warehouse, civilian houses, Buddhist schools, Royal College of Supreme Learning. All-inclusive.

The official rankings here are similar to that of the Song Imperial government.

Stay here for a few days.

I'll take you around to look at all of them.

Thank you, Crown Prince.

Xian'er, my name is "Haerdun," not "Crown Prince."

Yes, Haerdun.

If I just look at you like this, I feel so content.

I so want to hold you in my arms.

But I've made a promise to you.

I will respect you.

Can I go have a bath and change my clothes first?

Of course, you can!

Servant!

Bring Miss Xian'er to take a bath and get changed.

Let her wear Great Xia clothes.

It's my first time here and I'm not yet adapted to it.

May I wear my own clothes first?

May Crown Prince...

May Haerdun allow it.

No need to ask my permission for that.

You can do whatever you want.

Thank you, Haerdun.

Go.

Nanping Junwang asks for an audience.

Let him in.

Informing Royal Uncle,

I came today to report an important matter to you.

This matter is too shocking.

May Royal Uncle brace yourself.

Just say it, if you have anything to say. If there's nothing, go home.

Royal Uncle, you must first promise me that you won't behead me.

If I wanted to behead you, you wouldn't have enough head for me to behead.

Say it.

The niece of General Liu Tiantuo, Liu Xiyin, sent someone to deliver this

to her cousin, Ye Zhao.

Prince Qi is conniving with Western Xia to rebel.

How dare you!

I already said that you would turn hostile.

This is complete nonsense!

Your Majesty, the mute traveled thousand of miles to deliver this

and waited at my mansion for two months.

If this is not an important matter, why would he do this?

Ye Zhao interrogated him thoroughly.

Miss Liu was delivered and offered to Western Xia by Prince Qi.

I'm afraid her life is in danger.

If Prince Qi has no intentions of rebelling, why is he so crazed in making money

- from the illegal gambling den? - Shut up.

Zhao Yujin, let me tell you. Prince Qi is my brother. He is also your family.

Anyone can rebel,

but...

not him.

Your Majesty, what if... even there's a one in ten thousand...

Stop it.

Zhao Yujin, stop spouting nonsense.

If there's nothing else, go home

and along with Ye Zhao, work on improving the strength in your bodies.

Yes.

Come here.

This is not a child's game.

If you spread this nonsense,

for this,

you will really lose your head.

Royal Uncle, stop scaring me.

I know this is not a child's game. I will never talk about this.

Royal Uncle, please disregard what I said.

God, I pray that he will not...

Get lost.

Dear, you are back.

What did His Majesty say?

Don't talk about that. He lost his temper and almost killed me.

In any case, I have already said what I wanted to say.

His Majesty deals with all bad matters in the kingdom.

I have already done my duty.

You have already reported to His Majesty.

Regardless of how he reacts, this matter will need to be solved sooner or later.

Aren't you anxious?

What's the use if I am?

Based on Little Sparrow's report, my cousin is already in Western Xia with Haerdun.

I believe, with her beauty and talent,

she wouldn't take any risks.

There are no movements now. She must be waiting for the right time.

- Aren't you worried? - I'm worried.

But can I do?

Should I lead my army to attack Western Xia now?

I don't have any authority now.

If I take the risk and alert Prince Qi,

they will take my cousin as hostage.

She will be in greater danger then.

Are we just going to sit and not do anything?

I have never fought without preparations.

Dear, don't worry. I will send someone to Western Xia to secretly monitor them.

When I have received the news and it's reliable, I will rescue her.

Even if I have to do it personally, I must rescue her.

Your cousin is really like a haunting ghost.

I'm afraid she wants to start a nightmare with you again.

She has a face that can cause chaos in an imperial court. (T/N: a beauty who can overturn a country)

With her beauty and unreadable mind, you don't need to worry about her.

You have the same face, too. I have never worried about you.

Prince Qi of the Song dynasty gets along well with your father.

He delivered huge quantities of grains to support your father.

Prince Qi merely wants to make use of my father to usurp the throne.

How can you make it sound go ugly?

They are benefiting from each other, too.

Empress Mother.

Empress Mother, I brought Miss Xian to visit you.

Greetings to Your Highness the Empress.

Rise.

You are the renowned Miss Xian'er?

Xian'er, this is my younger sister, Yinchuan.

Ever since you arrived in Xingqing,

you have never met her.

She came back a few days ago from our prairie.

Greetings to Your Highness the Princess Yinchuan.

A few days ago, I heard that my brother brought back a beauty.

I didn't believe it.

After seeing you today, you are indeed outstanding.

The Crown Prince also talked about you.

He said that you ride and do archery and are very skilled in these.

After seeing you today, I feel at home with you.

Isn't that so? The Song people have a saying. People who don't belong together, they don't live together.

Yinchuan, since sh's still not familiar with Xingqing,

when you are free, take her around and show her the beauty of Western Xia.

Thank you for Your Highness' care and concern.

For the past few days, the Crown Prince brought me to the outskirts of Xingqing.

I find the landscape of Western Xia very open and distinctive in style.

The people in Western Xia are direct and lovable.

Although I'm worried about leaving my home

but since arriving here, it has been an eye-opener.

Looks like the Song people educate their daughters differently from the way we do.

Miss Xian'er is well-mannered and has her own views.

Unlike our Western Xia women who are untamed.

Empress Mother.

Empress Mother, we are leaving now.

Alright.

Yinchuan, I'm leaving.

Miss Xian'er, after you.

Since I was born, I have never seen older brother that happy.

Haerdun is already an adult.

His eyes are beginning to show care and concern.

This lady makes him stand upright, proud

and majestic like Helanshan. (The Helan Mountains)

Frankly, not every woman in Song is delicate like Miss Xian'er.

There are some like General Ye, who is a great heroine.

I really want to visit Song.

Didn't you go there with Yinuo previously?

He didn't take me along with him.

He merely followed Father's orders.

Empress Mother, how did you know?

What did General Ye do to you that you regard her as your idol?

And also made your older brother Yinuo want to conquer her?

The Central Plains not only produce such great heroines like Ye Zhao,

but also a delicate woman like Xian Nichang. One is strong and unyielding and the other is gentle.

Seems like the Central Plains is really far from ordinary.

General Ye is just like a light in the darkness

which dazzles the eyes.

If God gives me the opportunity

to go to the Central Plains, I will be satisfied just looking at her.
