=The Maid Ballad=

=Episode 11=

Qiancao.

We are the same.

I was born in a small town.

I grew up

with only my mother.

My mother had always been in trouble

because of her beauty.

One year,

the town lad

(took a fancy to my mother.)

(When he forced my mother to marry him,)

(I tried to stop him.)

Let go of my mother!

(The knife accidentally plunged into his chest.)

(I was accused of murder.)

(They beat me up)

(and tried to make me pay for it.)

(It was my foster father)

(who came to my rescue in time.)

(Lord Taicheng's Royal Mansion)

(After that,)

(he took me in as a foster son)

(and brought me into the city.)

I can't believe that even a man like you

has such a sad past.

Qiancao.

I indeed

deliberately stopped you from

serving the Crown Prince.

I knew you did it on purpose.

But why?

He is not as kind-hearted as he seems.

The assassination...

At first,

I did

have my heart set on the power of Xuanqian,

but then

I just wanted to protect you.

I know

you've always wanted to seek justice for your father.

It's not just the Crown Prince.

In fact, I can also be your help.

As for the power of Xuanqian,

it does do me good,

but it's not what I want.

All I want

is to win your heart.

Prince Chen.

The Gate Guard

came to seek an audience.

Your Majesty.

Prince Chen did rush out of the city last night.

Did he present the documents?

No.

He said it was urgent.

I had no choice but to let him pass.

I have failed in my duty.

Please punish me.

You may go now.

Yes, Your Majesty.

As far as I can see,

Chen Tongxue clearly

escaped during the night because

he had messed up in the flood relief effort.

Father.

Please issue an edict

for the arrest of Chen Tongxue.

Your Highness, you...

No need.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Long live the emperor.

Lord Taicheng reported that

you left the city and were nowhere to be found.

What exactly happened?

Your Majesty.

The supplies

have been distributed to the affected areas

and the situation has stabilised.

I was told last night

that Xin Village was flooded.

So

I rushed there to check it out.

Lu Qinghui has sent help there.

I

left the city without permission.

Please punish me.

I should

commend you

for your dedication instead.

Please be at ease.

Your Majesty.

I went to Xin Village last night on the orders of Prince Chen

and found that

there was no flooding

in the village.

Why would someone

make a false report?

Prince Chen.

Get up and speak.

- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

With all due respect,

I'm afraid someone

was trying to kill Prince Chen.

That's why...

Lu Qinghui.

There's no such thing.

Prince Chen.

What reward do you want?

Just tell me.

I

do have a wish.

I would like to ask you

to order the wealthy families of the city

to make donations,

thus

easing the burden of restoration in the disaster area

and

appeasing the people.

All right.

I give you my word.

Prince Chen.

You have a heart for the people

and have solved many problems for me.

Crown Prince.

You should

learn from Prince Chen.

Yes, Father.

Since you have given your consent,

I will take my leave.

Father.

I also have to leave first.

Your Highness.

How can I help you?

Do you think you've won?

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Your Highness.

I was assassinated yesterday.

I wonder if you recognise

the arrow used

by the assassins.

If you don't recognise it,

shall I ask His Majesty to take a look?

Your Majesty.

The Second Prince of Kun

is coming to our state

in a few days.

Are you going to ask the Crown Prince to receive him?

I heard that the Second Prince of Kun is young

and unruly.

I wonder if the Crown Prince

will clash with him.

What is your opinion,

Your Majesty?

Let

Chen Tongxue assist the Crown Prince.

(Kun State's Second Prince, Yue Shuye)

Your Highness.

We came with the Second Prince of Kun

for the purpose of diplomatic relations between the two states.

Please have a seat.

You've travelled a long way

by boat.

It must have been

a hard journey.

Not at all.

We in Kun

are all strong and fit.

Unlike you in Wei,

where men are pampered

like women.

I brought some presents to you today.

Present them

to His Highness.

This is our Night Army flag.

You've gone too far.

It's the Night Army flag.
