[Jun Jiu Ling]

[Episode 36]

He wants to gift Tianyou to Northern Qi.

Your Majesty, after Duke Cheng returned to the capital,

I've received a lot of written memorials from generals from the north.

They are oppressed by the imperial court, saw that government officials disregard.

It's difficult for Qing He Bo to move a single step at the north.

The generals everywhere appear compliant but secretly oppose.

Your Majesty, as long as Duke Cheng is present,

the border will never have peace.

Your Majesty, your servant asks for dismissal of Duke Cheng's military affairs post.

Servant asks for you to control Duke Cheng's domineering abuse of power

his outward and inward arrogation of power, these crimes.

Servant supports.

Servant also supports.

Your Majesty, please decide.

- That's right. - No.

We shouldn't make wild guesses regarding this.

Towards Your Majesty and the imperial court,

I am completely loyal. Heaven is my witness.

Servant does not want to explain, servant only has one thing

to ask from Your Majesty.

Servant is old

and also when fighting the battle

was inadvertently injured. The wound now has a dull pain.

Servant ask for grace from Your Majesty

to agree Servant to resign, and not lead soldiers in the future.

I did not expect Zhu Qing and I think the same.

I've always thought of you

perennially fighting outside, working so hard.

Also have injuries on the body.

Very well

you stay in the capital to recuperate properly.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Recuperate well, speedy recovery.

Your Majesty, if the imperial court needs this Servant with an old body

Servant will not shirk commitment even if I die ten thousand deaths.

Duke Cheng resigned?

Said he resigned, but actually is leaving the military and go back to civilian life. Only to save Duke Cheng face that's all.

Duke Cheng has his own considerations when he did that.

Nothing was kept, only a false nobility rank, no other official positions at all.

Duke Cheng of such a rank resigned, supposedly to take an idle job at least.

But this time the imperial court is very straightforward, totally dismissed.

This is to let everybody know

Duke Cheng's resignation is not a normal resignation, but it's guilt.

Now people are talking on the streets, saying Duke Cheng covet battle achievement

intend to provoke warfare between two countries again. As it's easier to force His Majesty to return military rights to him.

His Majesty has no choice but to dismiss him in disguise.

I will go see Duke Cheng.

- Miss Jun. - Miss Jun.

Jiuling.

I was looking for you.

How is Duke Cheng?

Out of official duties, feeling relaxed. He's good.

You all are leaving?

Yes, they are leaving.

Are you not leaving?

If I leave,

what will you do?

Zhu Zan, even though now handover military rights already

but His Majesty and Huang Cheng will definitely not leave Duke Cheng alone.

You must escort Duke Cheng and Madam safely away.

That is the most important.

Rest assured. I am all right.

As for the big revenge plan, I will slowly plot it as well.

Jiuling is here.

Father. Mother.

- Duke Cheng. - Miss Jun.

You do not need to worry about me. I have expected this day long ago.

Duke Cheng you shared your tasks with me, surely you will leave leverage for others.

You supposed to have half of the credit. And they are coming for me.

And the work is still there.

But now His Majesty is reducing your prestige.

This time you shared everything with me, I'm afraid...

What's this, it's better than both of us having nothing.

Only afraid that His Majesty will not let this thing last long.

For the things that you need to do, it's enough.

Use prestige to get bigger prestige. When you have a bigger prestige, you can do more things.

Not to mention you are a physician, cure illness, save people.

Even if His Majesty don't like you, in the end the public opinion is hard to beat also.

Miss Jun, the palace sent someone to Jiuling Hall. They say that Her Majesty the Empress is summoning you.

Shopkeeper Qi's carriage is waiting outside the door.

Yes I know.

Duke Cheng, Madam, at this point saying farewell.

Take care on the road.

We go first.

Jiuling, promise me one thing.

- Go on. - This time you enter the palace, you must not be foolish like last time.

Now, staying alive means more possibilities.

Besides, I've already died once, will not be impulsive anymore.

[Red Phoenix Gate]

- Come. - Be careful.

Miss, you go. I'll wait for you here.

All right.

Come out of court not long, His Majesty urgently called to enter palace again.

Perhaps there's a big thing happening again.

This hypocritical Emperor, finally wants to act calmly.

Now the emperor's position is getting more and more stable, dissent is eliminated.

Even If he does not have worries, he also does not need to pretend to be affable and kind.

Young Master Ning, you must protect yourself fully.

Duke Cheng's quick retreat might not be a bad thing.

But afraid with each step backed down, push him to a dead end. Jiuling

your involvement with Duke Cheng is deep, have to be very careful.

State affairs is chaotic, everybody is protecting themselves.

Master Ning is willling to play against the Imperial Court.

On this occasion, heal the hearts of people. Time and tide wait for no man.

Loyal servants are disappointed, treacherous servants in power, country not stable, civilians are uneasy.

Common people suffer, vitality of the landscape harmed.

I will surely do all that I can.

Your Majesty, please convict Zhu Zan for treason.

What?

Lord Huang, you cannot speak casually. Do you have evidence?

Your Majesty, I dare not speak casually.

After Zhu Zan left the northern land, the officials and soldiers there

were no longer oppressed. Thus, one after another reported him for his evil deeds.

I know of that matter.

In the past, there were indeed many memorials to impeach Zhu Zan.

Your Majesty, the negotiation this time is not the same as before.

The past impeachments were requested by the civil officials in the north.

It's now from the officials and soldiers in the north.

I haven't been willing to submit the memorials.

One, I didn't believe that Zhu Zan would be that bold and reckless.

Second, Your Majesty rewarded him handsomely.

Hence, I privately conducted a secret investigation.

In the end, I unravelled more.

Zhu Zan became more arrogant and instigated the two countries.

I dare not hide it anymore.

No, no, no.

Duke Cheng is a military commander that the late Emperor relied heavily on

and a person of good moral and reputation. I don't believe this.

Your Majesty, I have evidence of Zhu Zan's crimes. Please take a look.

Your Majesty, this is the correspondence between Zhu Zan and the Crown Prince of Northern Qi.

It holds his secret communication with Northern Qi and the crime of betraying the Imperial Court.

Jiuling is in the palace. She is Duke Cheng's future daughter-in-law.

I wonder if she will be implicated.

I truly dare not believe this. This Zhu Shan...

How bold!

Please arrest Zhu Zan immediately.

Please arrest Zhu Zan immediately.

- Her health is fine. She just needs to recuperate well. - Thank you, Physician Jun.

- Huxin, her lady is looking for you. Come with me now. - Physician Jun, I'm going back to work.

You go ahead. I recognize the way out of the palace.

Chu Jiuling.

How does it feel to revisit the old place?

I do not know what you are saying.

[Red Phoenix Gate]

Move aside.

What's going on again? Miss?

Lord Ning.

Where are you going in such a panic?

Lord Huang, you must be joking. Of course, I'm going back to Hanlin Academy.

[Duke Cheng Residence]

No one is here.

- Chase! - Chase!

You're awake now?

- Where is this? - This is our marital room.

Help!

Help!

Is there anyone who can save me?

Help!

Help! Save me!

There's no need to waste your energy.

I have already locked the windows and doors.

Jiuling, do you know?

You have been gone for a year. It was just like a dream.

Today is our wedding day.

By the way, I had a wedding dress made for you.

It is the same as the one you wore on our wedding day back then.

Do you like it?

You truly are insane.

Insane? I am insane.

I will only love you in the past life and this current life.

I'm insane only just for you.

I only love you.

Don't come closer.

All right.

I won't go there.

Jiuling, why are you like this now?

Is it because of this face of your that you do not recognize me anymore?

Will everything be fine if I release you? How can you be so cruel

to show up in front of me with this face?

Lu Yunqi,

you and I have always been enemies.

Everyone knows this. Stop being passionate.

Are you saying that when you tried to assassinate His Majesty back then

you blamed me? You blamed me for not saving you.

- I was protecting you at the time. Or else— - Don't come closer.

No. No, no, no.

You are not hiding in her body.

You are her.

Jiuling, you're back.

Lunatic.

Don't come near me.

You're back.

- Don't come closer! Don't come closer! - You're back.

All right. I won't go closer.

Do you know?

His Majesty is already suspicious of you.

Only by being here... only I can protect you.

Chu Rang is everything to you.

Kill me if you have the guts.

You are my everything. You are my beloved.

You are my deceased wife. How could I possibly kill you?

You don't like this environment. You hate this place, right?

It's all right. If you hate this place,

we can go somewhere else. We cna go to a place you like.

As long as you like it,

- we can even go to the end of the world. - You are insane.

- If you don't like it, I can take you to another place... - Don't come near me!

- Give this to me. - Don't come near me.

Jiuling.

I'm not insane.

I'm not insane!

Even if I am insane,

I'm an insane person who loves you.

How long are you going to lock me up here?

How could I lock you up?

I am protecting you.

Look at all that I have done for you.

I merely want it to be the day of wedding back then.

If you don't like that,

it's fine. I can do this in Prince Huai's residence

and arrange what's familiar to you and take you to the end of the world. As long as I can be with you,

I can take you to the end of the world.

Jiuling.

I'm not coming over. I'm not coming over.

I'll stay here. I'll stay here.

I'll stay here and guard you.

Stop! Stop!

Duke Cheng, please return to the capital with me.

Who's order is it?

His Majesty's order.

Duke Cheng, please return to the capital to be executed.

To be executed? For what crime?

Treason.

Treason?

We've worked hard for the Imperial Court for years.

- How dare you say the crime of treason? - Zan!

Father! Are we really going to go back there?

I've had this sword for most of my life.

It's covered with blood,

but it's blood of burglars from Northern Qi who invaded my nation.

Today I've reached a dead end.

All I'm asking for is to save face. If it happens to you one day,

will you be willing to be humiliated?

I use this sword for enemies, not my people.

But if you all force me,

I'd rather die

than return to the capital and be humiliated.

Duke Cheng, do you know what it means

if you leave?

It means that I will then become a rebellion in your eyes.

That's right.

It means you're escaping to avoid punishment.

It means that you did commit the crime of treason.

Duke Cheng, you'll no longer have power

and be disliked by civilians. Over ten years of success in the battlefield

will go up in smoke.

I, Zhu Shan, have protected the land and people all my life.

I never go after fame and fortune.

Duke Cheng, you're very selfless.

Please return to the capital with me to tell the world.

Why do you have to be a traitor?

Everyone hates traitors and thieves.

What I, Zhu Shan, hate the most in my life

is also those who are disloyal, unjust and unfilial.

I never expected myself

to become a traitor as well.

However, let me ask you all.

In your eyes,

am I, Zhu Shan, a rebel?

I've spent all my life in the military

to keep Tianyou safe. I've almost died many times

and faced numerous spears and arrows, just hoping Tianyou's people

can live a rich and safe live.

But today I have to run away

being called a traitor.

Whether I'm a loyal general or a traitor,

God knows

and I know. That's good enough. I have have a clear conscience.

Duke Cheng, if you return with me,

I'll definitely try my best to beg His Majesty for mercy.

Please don't run away. There's no turning back.

This path...

Since I've chosen it,

I'll walk to the end of it.

I, Tianyou, am safe today

thanks to Duke Cheng.

Duke Cheng, have a safe trip.

Stand aside!

[Red Phoenix Gate]

Miss.

Miss.

Chen Qi.

How is it? Are there news of Miss?

I've asked around several times. They all were certain

that Young Lady Jun left from the south gate in the late afternoon.

Impossible. Miss knows that I am waiting here for her.

Even if she does not come here, she would have someone notify me.

How could she possibly let me wait here until nightfall?

Could it be that Miss Jun has something important to take care of

s-so she could not notify us in advance?

Ever since last time Miss left the city to get herbs for Young Master

and didn't come home that night because of some delay, making us all worried,

she's never been inconsiderate.

How is it possible? It's...

Why don't you look around nearby?

What if Miss comes back? Look around again.

Okay.

Shopkeeper Liu.

it's...

Shopkeeper Liu, it's not a good idea to stop at the palace gate, so I had to do it this way.

Lord Ning, why are you looking for me?

Is Jiuling missing?

Why do you say that?

When I left the palace during the day, I saw Chen Qi very worried.

I couldn't go back and rest assured, so I asked around at the palace gate again.

I saw you still waiting there, so I knew something was wrong.

Lord Ning, to be honest,

Miss has indeed gone missing.

There's nothing I can do.

Could you find an opportunity to return to the palace

and help us inquire about her?

No need.

I think I know where she is.

It must be Lu Yunqi. It can only be him.

Lord Lu? What should we do then?

Heir Apparent is not here at this time.

I fear no one can save Miss.

- It's... - Shopkeeper Liu, don't worry.

Tomorrow I'll talk to Lu Yunqi and probe for information.

Then I'll see what I can do.

Thank you, Lord Ning. I'm sorry for what happened earlier.

Shopkeeper Liu, don't take it to heart. Jiuling and I were only acting as we discussed.

Of course, I still must maintain a distance with Jiuling in public.

If there's any news in a day or two, I'll have Xiao Ding deliver a letter secretly.

All right. Then I'll return first and wait.

Shopkeeper Liu, take care.

He's a traitor!

Your Majesty, please calm down.

I trusted him very much and treated him very well.

How did I not treat him well? Why did he do this to me?

Your Majesty, Zhu Shan is rebellious.

I hope Your Majesty won't be merciful anymore. Please give an order immediately

to arrest Zhu Shan and execute him on the spot.

Go ahead.

You took her away, right?

Lord Lu!

Doing that is not appropriate.

Duke Cheng disobeyed the imperial decree and ran away. It means he admitted committing the crime of treason.

Now she's disappeared suddenly.

What do you think His Majesty would think?

Are you threatening me?

I'm not threatening you.

I'm telling you that when it comes to matters between her and I,

you need not worry.

Lord Lu, I know you will not hurt her.

But if you can make who you love happy,

isn't that better?

That is you,

not me.

This is the message that Young Master Ning had someone deliver just now.

Miss Jun is indeed in his hands.

I'll go find her! I'll go to the Martial Moral Ministry to ask for her!

Chen Qi, don't be rash!

Isn't going there now walking to your death? Calm down.

Then what do we do?

Let's tell everyone about this so they can put pressure on him.

That's what I was think at first too. However, that won't do now.

Duke Cheng has been sentenced the crime the treason.

The news should be announced to the public soon.

Then they will defame Duke Cheng.

Miss Jun has a close relationship with Duke Cheng and his family.

Her disappearance will definitely be taken advantage of by some people.

Then it would be even more difficult to clear up.

This won't do and that won't do.

Then what exactly should we do now?

We can only wait for the right time. The good thing is

Miss Jun is in the hands of Lu Yunqi, not His Majesty.

That... what's the difference?

Lord Lu and His Majesty are in the same boat.

He has a really deep obsession with Jiuling.

His obsession means he has conscience,

which is better than those without conscience.

[Jiuling Hall]

Physician Jun.

Is Physician Jun here?

She's not here.

Didn't Physician Jun just return?

My Master had me invite her to come over. It's a wasted trip.

Something happened in her family back in Zezhou, so she hasn't come back.

Then when will she be back?

I truly do not know.

Why don't you go to another clinic?

I'm really sorry.

All right.

When can I

stop lying like this?

I don't know how Jinxiu is doing in Zezhou either.

- Miss! - Liu'er.

- Miss! - Stop shouting!

Chen Qi, why are you in a panic when I'm call for Miss?

Come with me to the back courtyard. I'll explain to you.

Let's go.

Come take a look.

Lord Lu.

Lord Lu, are you heading home or to the Martial moral Ministry?

Who are they?

Is that Young Master Ning?

Yes, that's him.

- He still looks the same. - Exactly.

Lord Lu, guess what they are all thinking.

They are probably thinking that I'm quite bold.

Lord Lu,

can I see her?

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Jiuling, I'm sorry.

I came back late. You must be hungry.

I remember you like eating Cao's specialty.

Last time you said it was delicious.

Today I brought it home specifically for you. Try it.

Let me go.

They didn't open till late.

I didn't want to force or disturb them

as they might ruin the food, so I waited a long time.

You're not hungry waiting for me, are you?

Here. Try it. It tastes good.

I know you want to know about Duke Cheng's matters.

His Majesty convicted him of the crime of treason.

He will be executed when sent back to the capital.

The crime of treason?

How is that possible?

There's nothing that is impossible.

Are these things important when he dies?

Duke Cheng no longer dominates

the north. The world

belongs to His Majesty only.

The north never belongs to anyone, but all civilians.

That's not important.

Let them fight for it, which has nothing to do with us.

Come on, have a bite. Otherwise, it'll get cold and won't taste good anymore.

- Let me go. - Try it. We'll talk about it later.

Jiuling, I'm your husband.

You should call me Yunqi.

You'll never win my heart in your life.

You make me feel disgusted.

It's all right. It's all right.

No matter what, I'm still your family, right?

I can protect you well.

- I'll always keep you safe. - Get out.

Look at you. You've lost weight.

Eat some.

I told you to get out!

Don't get angry.

By the way,

those at Jiuling Hall told people you returned to Zezhou in order to protect you.

And Ning Yunzhao asked me today if he could come see you.

Say, isn't that laughable?

I know Ning Yunzhao likes you.

Furthermore, he not only likes you as a person

but also likes this face of yours.

Through your appearance,

he can see your soul.

Those scholars are truly more capable than I am.

Scram.

He's nowhere to be found?

Did he grow wings and fly away?

Your Majesty,

Duke Cheng spent tens of years

making connections. This time

I don't know how many people covered him so he could escape.

Investigate it and see who helped him secretly.

Your Majesty, rest assured.

With Lord Lu, it's only a matter of time to arrest him.

Your Majesty,

Duke Cheng was last seen near Malueguan.

He should be heading to Baozhou.

The north? Does he still dare to go to the north?

Isn't he throwing himself into the trap?

Your Majesty, I'm going to notify Qing Hebo.

[Sincere and Careful]

Lord Huang, you may leave.

Yes.

How is the task I have ordered you to do?

Due to the separation of De Shengchang,

Jun Jiuling has returned to Zezhou.

I've had Jin Shiba go there.

The Fang family has failed and the Zhu family has collapsed.

This is a good opportunity.

We can't miss out on it anymore.

Yes.
