The Lord has been standing outside for the fourth night.
I am more and more familiar with the life in Ningshuo.
But since Xiao Qi told me the truth, I don't know how to face him.
Prime Minister is here.
Uncle.
You are finally here.
I...
Your Highness.
Uncle, do something to withdraw the troops.
Let me tell you what I think first.
If we can't fight directly, we can prepare more gold and silver rewards and give it all to my uncle!
If it still doesn't work, we'll appoint him as regent!
What do you think?
Lord Jianning is a governor of a region.
Is it so easy to satisfy him?
Well... What exactly does he want?
Does it mean that he really comes for the throne?
Zilong, Listen to your uncle first.
I'm not worried about him.
Since His Majesty was ill, first, the northwest was in emergency.
Xu Shou joined forces with Hulan to assassinate Xiao Qi.
Then Lord Jianning precisely came with his troops.
Don't you find it strange?
You mean...?
What happened in the northwest and in Jiangnan seems to be two things.
What scares me is that it's actually the same thing.
The same thing?
Uncle, you mean the series of things are all in collusion?
And there will be a bigger conspiracy behind this, right?
What will we do, Mother?
It seems that there was really someone trying to take away the power while Father is seriously ill. As the Crown Prince, could you not be so flustered when you are in trouble?
Brother, calm down.
Please tell me directly.
Lord Jianning has made military preparations for many years.
This time, he will never give up easily.
For now, there is a temporary peace in the northwest.
Now the top priority... Last night, I ordered Xiao Qi to lead 100,000 soldiers in Ningshuo Army to Jiangnan.
I hope the rebels can be held back in the Six Towns.
It's only a ride of three or five days from the Six Towns to the Capital.
The defense of the Capital is also a top priority.
I have asked Militant General Wang Xu to command Imperial Armies and prepare more provisions and weapons in the barrack outside the Capital to prepare against all eventualities.
Good for you, Uncle.
I'm not sure to win, either.
Since Awu married Xiao Qi, she has encountered constant distress.
Did we take a wrong step?
Isn't it all because...
It's all my fault.
It's not your fault or mine.
It's this world.
The world is in chaos.
As a girl from the Wang Family, Awu should bear her responsibilities.
That is her destiny.
You and I can't control it.
I need to work with Militant General to check the defense of the Capital.
Good day.
Uncle.
Uncle!
Leave us.
I'll take care of it here.
Your Grace, time for dinner.
You seem to know me already.
You became more courageous.
This is the pork cooked in soy sauce specially ordered by Lord for your recovery.
If only I could have some wine!
You want wine?
Lord doesn't drink alcohol.
So there is any.
If you want some, I'll try.
(Ningshuo) ♪A general is made on the white bones♪ Have you ever seen Xiao Qi?
That man with three heads and six arms.
♪It's hard to tell right from wrong ♪ in the war ♪ ♪Everyone has to suffer♪ ♪Live a military life with you♪ ♪Regardless of reputation alive or dead♪ ♪I want nothing but peace in the world♪ ♪I'm not timid I live and die with you♪ ♪My love melts in your eyes♪ ♪I never regret loving you all my life♪ You are my wife, ♪The remarkable thing is♪ who will live and die with me.
♪And hug you♪ ♪Your life will not be like a dream♪ ♪I care for nothing but you♪ ♪Ride across the world indifferently♪ ♪In haste♪ How did you learn to drink?
My dad loved drinking.
He forced me to drink when he was drunk.
If I didn't drink, he would hit me.
I couldn't get off the bed the next day.
Where is your father?
He has long passed away.
My mother is gone, too.
Sometimes I wish he could hit me again.
But I can't find him anymore.
I'm the only one left.
I wish my father could beat me up, instead of lying to me.
- Cherry Rum - Cherry Rum - smells good in April.
- smells good in April.
- All kinds of cherries are available.
- All kinds of cherries are available.
- I don't pick unripe ones to enjoy, - I don't pick unripe ones to enjoy, - but to make you smile.
- but to make you smile.
I can't smile at you anymore.
You should leave, Zitan.
Xiao Qi?
What are you doing?
Don't pull my clothes!
Where did you go on the wedding night?
Why do you do it now?
So this thing still isn't over in your mind yet?
It doesn't matter.
You will understand in the future.
I don't understand!
Xiao Qi!
Tell me.
Who on earth are you to me?
Who on earth am I to you?
Yes.
In your heart, I may still be the monster with three heads and six arms, the bad guy who left you alone on the wedding night, and Lord Yuzhang who colluded for power with your father.
That's why you're so defensive about me?
Yeah.
You are the bad guy.
You are the monster.
Why did you leave me alone?
Why did you leave me alone?
You are the bad guy.
You are the monster.
All right, all right.
Why did you leave me alone?
I don't know any Princess Shangyang.
For me, you will always be the cocky little girl at the Lantern Festival and that faithful girl on the cliff who faced death unflinchingly.
All right.
Your clothes are wet with alcohol.
I just want to take them off so that you can sleep well.
Take them off, good girl.
Leave me alone!
Tell me.
Who on earth are you to me?
I am your husband.
Whether you accept it or not, you are already Princess Consort Yuzhang.
Even if you haven't accepted me, I have already regarded you as my destiny.
Your Highness.
Duke Huan.
I just heard that Wang Lin wants to transfer Ningshuo Army to Jiangnan.
Who do you think has the better chance of winning, Lord Jianning or Xiao Qi?
Although Xiao Qi is a master of war, he cannot fight against many enemies alone.
Lord Jianning has made military preparations for many years.
I will cooperate with him, too.
We will definitely win.
Just like you said, what if Lord Jianning wins?
Then follow our plan.
Lord Jianning comes to the Capital to help you take the throne.
From then on, you reign the nation.
I'm just a prince.
After Lord Jianning leads the troops to the Capital and controls the overall situation, will he be my helping hand or be the emperor?
We don't know that for sure.
Your Highness, don't worry about this.
He wanted the throne 20 years ago.
Duke Huan, tell me, why does he want to help me now?
This...
When the time comes, you will know then.
Master, please rest assured.
This time, I sent some men again.
I will complete the mission.
We missed the first shot and the effect turns weaker the second time.
The last plan failed.
Xiao Qi would be more vigilant.
If you want to succeed, it's even harder.
Master, this time, I have bought off some soldiers in Xiao Qi's army.
As long as Xiao Qi leaves the camp, he will definitely die.
Good!
If you make it and I can return to the imperial court... You... You will be General of Ningshuo.
Thank you, Master!
Go ahead.
Master, the Second Prince sent a messenger here.
Get him in!
Yeah.
Are they settled?
I have sent money to Yi'er's home.
That's enough for her dowry.
It's just that Xing'er cries all day.
How ungrateful she is!
After all, she served the Lord.
Don't mistreat them.
It's generous of you, Your Grace.
It's our blessing to serve you.
Your Grace, I have one more thing to ask.
The Lord has always stayed alone.
Now you're getting better.
But you still deliver a snub to him.
I am afraid that... Mrs. Lu.
So that's how servants work in Ningshuo?
Please forgive me.
I heard you have managed in the mansion for a few years.
Don't forget.
What you say and do should be an example to the servants.
I...
I do remember that.
Your Grace, the Lord just came and asked you to go to his study immediately.
Is it an urgency?
I don't know.
Tell him I'll go right away.
Yeah.
My Lord, Lord Jianning has completed the transfer of troops and gone north with his troops.
The vanguard is approaching Cangshui River.
Lord Jianning was always cautious.
But this time, he's in such a grand scale.
Did he receive a secret order from the Capital?
Report this to the Six Towns in the north right now.
Huai'en, check the weapons and food.
Get ready to depart at any time.
Yes.
All right.
Get ready, everyone.
Yes.
Why do you have these generals who don't greet me at all?
When you're no longer drunk, you begin to complain about others?
Then you can check if there's still a smell of alcohol.
It's gone.
Are you going out for war?
Lord Jianning is rebelling.
When your uncle is ill, now, his army is heading for the Capital.
Then when will you leave?
In a couple of days.
If the war begins, people will suffer again.
Unavoidable.
Awu, I want to take you somewhere.
How did you know my pet name?
Your father sent you a letter from the Capital.
Where's the letter?
I'll give it to you when we get back.
Go.
Here we are.
Why did you bring me here?
Pick a horse.
Are you taking me to war?
Pick a horse and then put on a Tartar dress.
Go an incognito visit?
Don't shout.
My Lord.
Your Grace.
This horse is my Mojiao.
Choose a horse for yourself.
I want this one.
I can't believe you can blow bandit whistle.
I can't use weapons or lead soldiers.
But I can do a lot else like you do.
This is the Ningshuo Grassland.
It stretches for hundreds of miles.
Look at the mountain in the distance.
The snow on its top doesn't melt for thousands of years.
No one has ever climbed to the mountainside.
All herdsmen say that Gods live on the top of the mountain and cannot be profaned by mortals.
In addition to the Heavenly Palace, there is a power of nature that's more convincing than imperial authority.
The grassland over there is boundless.
Do you want to compete riding with me?
Alright.
You win.
You are flattering me.
Where are you taking me?
Anyway, we can't go back tonight.
We can only sleep on the grassland.
Will there be wolves here?
No wolves, but a man.
It is really beautiful!
Is it so lively here every day?
Today is the Moon-rising Festival for Hulan people.
It is equivalent to our Ghost Festival.
Are they all Hulan people?
Not exactly.
They're treating us warmly even without asking who we are.
Do they know you?
Not really.
People on the grassland are always enthusiastic.
There are several ethnic groups here who live and marry each other.
They stay in harmony.
That's why they are enthusiastic.
I heard them complimenting you.
Really?
How?
They say your eyes are as bright as the moon.
Your smile is as sweet as honey.
Do you feel the same way?
This is the first time I've heard of such a simple and lovely praise.
But, Hulan and Cheng are against each other for many years.
The two sides have deep grievances.
Why can people here stay so cheerful and get on well?
Hulan and Cheng are as close as lips and teeth.
In wars over hundreds of years, only common people suffer.
This is our roast lamb leg.
Enjoy it, please.
Delicious, right?
Could you dance with me?
It is up to her.
You are his partner?
I want to ask him to dance.
Can you allow it?
I...
I can't.
Why?
Because he is my husband.
All right, then.
Good job.
Hold on!
Great.
Great.
Great!
Bravo!
Bravo!
According to the Grassland rule, if a man accepts a girl's invitation to dance, he has to be her lover.
What if he likes someone else?
It depends on who he likes.
Well.
I want to find a man to dance, too.
How dare you!
Of course, I dare.
Do you like it?
Very much.
I have never seen such a beautiful place.
I haven't been so happy for a long time.
When the war is over, I'll take you around the world to see the vast East Sea, precipitous Western Shu, graceful Southern Yunnan, and the enchanting North.
The beautiful scenery of the world is far more than the best you can imagine.
We will find a picturesque place and build a log cabin.
We will live a carefree and leisurely life together.
We will work when the run rises and rest when the sun sets.
Stop!
After them!
Come on!
Stop!
After them!
Stop!
- After them!
- Don't let them get away!
Don't let them get away!
Go!
They're over there.
After them!
This area used to be our army horse forage field.
The shelter was for their vigil.
There is large temperature difference on the grassland.
It will be very cold as soon as the sun goes down.
It will fog at night on the edge of this mountain.
Night would be a toughie.
You can make a fire?
In the battlefield, this is a necessary skill.
Can...?
Can you make it?
Sure.
