[The Trust]

[Episode 18]

You must be kidding.

How can Hengshan Duke and you be at war?

Collusion means it's at peace.

But you're not the real emissary.

Why did you say that?

If real,

why disguise yourself as a man?

Dude,

I'm new in the North,

not used to the climate here.

We all have a stomachache.

Can we excuse ourselves?

Accursi told me to have an eye on you.

You Dasheng people are cunning.

Don't play tricks.

We came to make peace.

Once the emissary comes out,

we may become friends.

It hurts badly.

Just make an exception.

Dudes,

it's painstaking

for everyone to make a living.

Just do me a favor.

Alright, come on.

Thanks.

Let's go.

- Come on. - Go.

Why don't you answer

His Majesty's question?

Keen eyes.

You're so composed.

I've seen enough women disguised as men

to fight the enemy in the desert.

I can tell at the first sight.

Though unadorned,

you look gorgeous.

Does it mean you admit

you're not the real emissary?

How dare you deceive His Majesty?

Your Majesty!

Your Highness, you finally wake up.

How many soldiers are there in the camp?

I heard it when I fainted.

The army marched to the Gigi's.

Not many soldiers are left.

Let's go reinforce them.

It won't do.

Your Highness, you just woke up,

and you're still weak.

Don't go to war.

Shut up!

Now I'm the Emperor.

What is the Northern Expedition for?

Just for hiding here?

He left without notice.

I must protect him.

Who are you?

I'm Hengshan Duke's daughter,

Xiao... Baojian.

Sounds more ridiculous.

Hengshan Duke's daughter?

How can a noblewoman risk her life here?

Huna said

Zamsi disliked Gigi.

I can only bet on it.

My mother is my father's concubine,

but my father doesn't love my mother.

A child is valued by his or her mom,

so I can't get my father's

affection or attention.

I followed the delegation here

without permission.

I thought if we'd make peace,

I'd be valued by my father.

Hengshan Duke's offsprings are nobles

with a middle name of Jin,

but your name is Baojian.

How can you explain that?

That's true.

Since childhood,

I've envied my siblings' name Jin.

However,

father didn't allow me

to use just a character Jin.

You do have a noble temperament.

That's why you behaved loftily.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I appreciate you, Baojian.

Later on,

I'm sure to praise you before Hengshan Duke.

When searching for Xu Ding's

military defense map for you,

I found Dasheng's emperor was critically ill

and unable to recover.

You just have to wait patiently.

If the emperor passes away,

Dasheng Kingdom must be in chaos.

Then you can occupy the North.

He has no chance to survive

from my strange poison.

Let Baojian take a seat

to elaborate on the plan.

Hold a banquet and play music.

I'm happy today.

Feast every soldier.

General Xu,

the latest news said

the north gate's guard is the weakest.

Gigi is boozing in the hall,

so the court's off guard,

not that vigilant.

General Xu, we'll take the city

if we charge now.

Here's its defense map.

Gan,

encircle them from the rear wing

to stop its reinforcement.

I'll see tribe elders and nobles

just in case.

Okay, let's go.

Xu Jun, go to the aid of Her Highness.

Yes, sir.

Xu Biao,

charge from the north gate.

Yes, sir.

Go.

Then it's a deal.

Hengshan Duke helps me

get the royal court.

I'll try my best to help him

take the throne of Dasheng.

My father will be pleased by the news.

I do appreciate you, Baojian.

I heard Huna always got along with Xu Yu.

Why do he and his sister always

favor people from Dasheng?

Baojian, please.

Lord, time to go back.

I should have long

gone back to report to my father,

but did stay for long

because of your invitation.

Why leave in a rush?

Your Majesty,

the situation of enemies' pressing

onto the border is unknown.

I should rush to report to my father

so as to besiege the capital with you as soon as possible.

Though I can't bear to part with you,

I believe in the near future,

we'll toast our success again.

Wish you all the best.

I'll go back to see the Hengshan Duke.

Please.

Wait!

On hearing your story,

I think you may be the one

knowing me the most in the world.

I'm flattered.

Baojian, please.

Accursi,

what do you think?

I think you'd better send a guard

to notify Hengshan Duke.

Whether she's Hengshan Duke's daughter or not,

taking her in custody is better for us.

Accursi,

go to get Baojian back.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Did you inform General Xu?

Yes, Your Highness.

Please hurry.

His Majesty is awaiting you.

Let's join General Xu.

I'll tell him the inside information.

Okay.

Stop.

Order from His Majesty.

Emissary, please return for a talk.

Sister.

Sister.

Brother, attack the city without letup.

Take care!

Protect yourself.

Charge!

Kill them!

How come Dasheng troops got in?

You trash!

Gigi, how can you blame us?

Yeah, if we had known it earlier,

we'd have supported Queen Huna.

That's right.

Queen Huna?

Queen Huna!

It's...

Check if anyone is alive.

Yes, check it out.

Surround the hall.

Yes.

Your Majesty, you haven't recovered.

Why did you come here?

General Xu, don't worry.

The poison has been

under Senior Doctor Jiang's control.

It's okay.

On the way here,

I defeated the reinforcement sent by Sugan Tribe.

♫ Giving up success of no use ♫

♫ I chase after a gentle star ♫

♫ I tramp mountains, torrents ♫

♫ desert and dunes ♫

♫ Others gossip about the reason for rushing about ♫

♫ sarcastically and despisingly ♫

♫ I dare not turn back in long silence ♫

♫ just waiting you to say hello ♫

♫ I finally learn to wait ♫

Your Majesty,

it's so lucky to see you, though ill,

in one piece.

I'm okay with seeing you.

♫ Go against the crowds ♫

♫ I can't touch your hands ♫

Where's Gigi?

♫ In the dim light ♫

Leave Tatar family trifles all to them.

Gigi,

you killed your warriors on your own.

Don't you sorrow for it?

I'll destroy everything

and leave nothing to you,

Princess of Haer Tribe.

I am your queen and sister.

There is no queen in the desert,

no matter in the past,

present or future.

Father passed the throne to me.

Admit it or not,

even when you exiled me and humiliated me,

I'm still the queen.

Huna,

you took everything from me.

Do you know how much I hate you?

I hate you and Zamsi.

You no longer call him father.

Father?

Did he ever treat me like his son?

Why should I call him father?

Huna,

at this point,

I'm not afraid to tell you

my hands are also

stained with Zamsi's blood.

What do you mean?

Wasn't father deadly injured

on the battlefield by Xu Ding?

You underestimated Zamsi.

If I hadn't poisoned his medicine,

how could that injury have taken his life?

He is our father!

No!

He is your father.

He never cared about me.

He just didn't want you to go astray.

Astray?

It's just an excuse

for you to take power from me.

It was Zamsi who went astray

to have passed the throne to a woman.

He must pay his life for this.

You always blame all on others.

Father, don't be angry.

I hope Gigi can understand

I'm strict with him

for I want him

to be an upright man

in the future.

It doesn't matter.

I'm so unlucky

that I end up like this.

If you can,

just kill me.

Let Zamsi in Heaven see that

his beloved daughter

is a devil who kills her brother.

You deserve death,

but...

You deserve death instead!

I said I'd destroy everything

and leave nothing to you,

including myself.

Luckily you came.

I-I-I didn't follow you.

I...

I mean

luckily you went on the North Expedition

and protected His Majesty.

I see.

It's my duty.

The North Expedition is quite dangerous.

I want some fresh air.

Indeed.

I'm bored of following Her Highness.

You mean she's boring?

That's not what I mean.

I mean I'm bored being alone.

I...

I'm kidding.

Let's catch up.

General,

keep a distance.

Leave them some space.

That's right.

Make sure they're safe.

Your hands are too cold.

Do you feel better?

I'm fine after waking up,

but because of poison's lingering effects,

sometimes I feel a bit of palpitation.

Nothing serious.

You shouldn't have come.

The battlefield is so dangerous.

No big deal.

I've seen the battlefield before.

But you said when I'd wake up,

you'd ask me about my nightmare.

You heard it.

I heard what you said to my father.

So you woke up then?

I could hear but couldn't speak.

For this question,

my biggest nightmare is that

you're about to risk your life,

but I can't wake up,

accompany you,

or speak.

When I first saw you,

I wanted to say

the North Expedition was my duty.

So when you were unconscious,

my heart was broken.

I was the same for fear that

you'd not return.

I don't want you to cry anymore.

It's your fault.

Why did you go to such a dangerous place?

Well, I was wrong.

I'll be happy as long as you're safe.

[Hengshan Mansion]

What?

His Majesty woke up

and Gigi was defeated?

Duke, calm down.

His Majesty did wake up,

and Huna killed Gigi.

Haer Tribe is

under the control of Queen Huna.

Piss off.

How come?

I haven't even set off.

Duke, come on.

Though Gigi was defeated,

fortunately,

there isn't much damage to you.

I lost an excellent opportunity.

With your tactics,

you're sure to find a better chance later.

I was updated about the situation,

and had one concern.

What?

Gigi was killed.

Where's the emissary Baru

who contacted him?

Who are you?

Where is this place?

Do you know who I am?

It seems

you don't know the situation.

Is it time for you to ask questions?

Jinming.

What is your relationship

with Hengshan Duke?

What?

I don't know.

Don't know?

I have ways to make you speak.

- As a man from the North, - A man from the North,

- I'm always unyielding. - Unyielding.

No matter what evil tricks you play,

I, Baru, won't confess.

Yes, I know nothing.

Where's your needle?

What needle?

The one you used to poke me.

What are you two men whispering about?

Don't you interrogate me?

Let me repeat it.

Mind your words.

As a Northern man,

I will never submit...

Just take my life.

Can you stop using evil tricks?

Don't come close.

Stay back.

Go back!

I'll shout out.

Aunt,

the news I got this time is true.

Xinzhu,

there you go.

You were punished for gossiping

about Jinming and Her Highness's

affair a while ago.

How come you have no memory?

Why're you still talking about nonsense?

Aunt, this time it's true.

Her Highness has not been here for long.

Who knows what she's plotting?

Her Highness's nowhere to be found

for I told her to pray

for His Majesty in seclusion.

Got it?

Aunt.

Aunt.

Take it as a tour out.

Let me accompany you.

Min,

help me persuade Aunt.

Well, she is beautiful.

And she is right.

Alright, cut the crap.

Well, this time I believe you.

But let me tell you,

if Her Highness stays in the court,

I'll fix you up.

Yes, Aunt.

Ask Her Highness out.

Madam,

Queen Mother

asked Her Highness

to pray for half a month.

There're a few days left.

Yeah, that's it.

It's better to pray from beginning to end.

Xinzhu, you see.

Isn't it outrageous?

Aunt, you know,

The reports of victory keep pouring in.

We just await His Majesty's return.

It seems the pray is finished.

If Her Highness can't see us,

it's the same for us to visit her.

M-Madam, it's still uncomfortable.

Yeah, forgive us.

The half-month term is fixed,

so she must pray till the end.

Ms. Tao, what do you want to eat?

Let Baodao take you to the kitchen.

Great, I...

Maybe next time.

You stop us from seeing Her Highness.

Is there something wrong?

Aunt, what do you think?

Queen Mother, please don't.

Queen Mother.

You two are quite strange today,

not only stopping us,

but also being evasive

with eyes darting around.

I'm sure to get in for a look.

Step aside.

- Queen Mother. - Queen Mother.

You can't go in.

Queen Mother, don't.

Queen Mother.

- Queen Mother. - Queen Mother.

Empress, I'm here to see you.

Where are you?

Aunt,

I didn't lie to you.

Xu Yu isn't here.

Madam,

you called me by name.

Isn't it a breach of etiquette?

Queen Mother.

Empress,

I'm here to visit you.

If nothing else,

go on reading your book.

Let's go back.

Your Highness,

when are you back?

We're frightened.

Yes, Your Highness.

When are you back?

I...

Are you sure not to go back with me?

I came to lead the army.

Though back,

I've to go with the entire army.

Moreover,

there is some unfinished business here.

Does it refer to Huna?

She still sees you

as Dasheng's emperor.

You need to be careful.

Alright, I know.

Let's go.

Jiang Tang.

Your Majesty.

Without Freesia,

how is Her Highness?

Don't worry.

The poison in her body

is under control.

As long as not taking harmful herbs,

she'll be fine.

I believe you,

but I can't rest assured

if it's not detoxified.

You stay here

until you find the Freesia.

After all, health is the top priority.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You do care about my health.

Of course.

Yu,

Your health is my top priority.

What worries you more,

me or my health?

Aren't they the same?

Alright, I understand.

By the way,

since I arrived,

I haven't asked you about

the meteorolite black crystal.

Don't worry.

I'll bring it back.

Your Majesty, this is my promise.

Welcome back, Your Majesty.

[Yongxi Palace]

Your Majesty,

you finally returned.

Let me take a good look.

You worry me so much.

Let me take a good look.

Mother,

I'm fine.

Come on,

take off the heavy armor

so I can see if you're injured.

Mother,

it's not appropriate.

Why not?

Because...

They're your wife and concubines.

Nothing inappropriate.

Do it.

Oh my, your hands

are so black and rough.

It breaks my heart.

Mother,

it's not a big deal.

If you see how

Xu's troops fought on the battlefield,

you won't think

I'm suffering or tired at all.

Didn't Xu's soldiers protect you well?

Of course, they did.

They not only protected me,

but also protected Jing'an

and the entire country.

You went on the North Expedition,

shaking the world with might.

Xu's Family just followed

Your Majesty's orders,

and did their duty.

It was all up to Your Majesty

to pacify the North.

He's so ungrateful.

Silly girl,

You're pushing Xu Family

in the teeth of the storm.

Your Highness is so considerate.

Xu's Family is creditable to fight the enemy,

but you're the emperor and they're the subjects.

It's their duty to

fight enemies and protect the country.

Almost easily turned.

Thanks to His Majesty.

Got it? Silly girl.

Your Majesty,

I couldn't sleep at night

worrying about you.

Thank you.

But you seem to radiate

with health and vitality?

I'm dolled up to welcome Your Majesty.

All the concubines have been

praying for you and soldiers.

It's a pity we can't

fight enemies for you.

Now you returned triumphantly.

We're too happy

to congratulate you.

Your Majesty, thank you.

Your Majesty, thank you.

Thank you all.

Your Majesty,

I've a lot to talk to you about privately.

Why are you here alone?

Didn't you want to talk with her in private?

I tried my best to sneak out for you.

But you reminded me that

Xu Family deserves a great reward.

Not only that,

but I've also prepared a surprise for you.

This is the meteorolite black crystal

I found in the North.

Yu, I miss you very much.

Who's your Yu?

I'm your beloved Emperor.

Whether you're Yu

or my beloved Emperor,

you're mine.

I thought about it for long when back.

Yu, you had grievances with me

in the North, right?

How dare I?

When we said goodbye,

I felt something was wrong

but I couldn't tell.

Later I realized that

you may have misunderstood me

for rushing to the North

for fear of my poor health.

Not knowing since when,

I've never thought

of telling yours from mine.

Now if we give the crystal to the diviner,

we'll get back on track.

Then you'll know my true heart.

But I don't like how we were before.

I know I ignored you in the past,

but I'll never do that again.

Since the crystal has magical power,

I swear by it today that

we'll be together till death do us part,

and never doubt each other,

otherwise...

As husband and wife,

we never doubt or separate from each other.
