I hardly went out.
The Third Prince also locked himself inside.
Some rumors say that His Majesty is ill again.
I shouldn't have said this.
His Majesty loves you most.
You must be sad.
Yes, I am.
Your Grace, here is your tea.
Your Grace, after a whole day's drinking, take some tea.
Yes, I feel a little drunk.
Your Grace, I came all the way with the Third Prince.
Nobody can take care of him.
So I think...
Yes, I see.
You should go and look after him.
When we go back to the Capital, I'll get you back.
Yes.
Then I am leaving now, Your Grace.
It's late now.
Please have an early rest, Your Grace.
I will get some water here.
All right.
Jin'er, what's wrong?
I...
Your Grace, enjoy more tea.
It's good to see you come back.
Go ahead.
Jin'er, Her Grace said you hadn't met for long.
You can go first.
I'll bring some snacks back by the way.
Well... Well...
Thanks, then.
Don't move!
Don't move!
The Crown Princess sent me.
You just went to Princess Consort Yuzhang's?
How do you know?
Have you done what the Crown Princess told you?
I put the pill in the tea.
I saw her drink it.
Yu, leave him to me.
Go protect Her Grace!
Yes.
Huizhou has been pacified.
Who else still wants to hurt Her Grace?
It was indeed dangerous just now.
It's lucky we had taken precautions.
It doesn't matter.
We have General Song here.
He has saved Her Grace in time.
Yu, guard Her Grace more carefully, in the second half of night.
Before we set out tomorrow morning, don't be slack.
We still have General Song.
Mrs. Mu, don't worry.
General Mu has made great contribution.
And he is also such a kind person.
I believe he can be promoted soon.
Thank you, Your Grace.
After today's farewell, I don't know when we can see each other again.
I wish you all the best and everything goes well when you're back to the Capital.
Huixin, after the mourning period, welcome to Lord Yuzhang's Mansion in the Capital.
Thank you, Your Grace.
Please take care of her.
Don't worry, Your Grace.
General Mu, see you.
We will not let you down.
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- This is our gift for you.
- Take it with you.
Take it with you.
- Your Grace, accept it.
- Take it with you.
- It is a token of our regard.
- Your Grace.
Folks.
- This is a token of our regard.
- Take it with you.
- Thank you!
- Your Grace!
Take it.
- Just keep the things to yourselves.
- We grew it.
Accept it.
Your Grace, just take them.
- Take the eggs, please.
- It's a token of our regard.
- Take the eggs, please.
- It's a token of our regard.
- Yeah.
- Your Grace.
I will come back.
I will come back to Huizhou to see you.
Take them, Your Grace.
Take them.
(Prefect's Mansion) Please take them.
(Prefect's Mansion) It's a token of our regard.
My Lady.
We grew this.
Brother.
Why is there no news from the spy we went to Xiao Qi?
Maybe, our spy has been exposed.
Shall we send someone else?
No.
Awu is returning to the Capital.
Don't make any trouble again.
The most important thing is that Wu Qian shall be taken to the Capital with her.
You have to take charge of the guarding and find out the chief plotter.
I am afraid we have no enough time.
Yes.
There's something else.
You asked me to search for Xu Shou's mansion.
I have found a letter from Wen Zongshen to Xu Shou.
Though it didn't mention assassinating Xiao Qi together, it must have something to do with him, His Majesty and Xie Yuan.
Since the ancient times, if there is disagreement between the Emperor and his officials, the country must be in disaster.
Master.
Eunuch Jin?
What's the matter?
Her Grace asked me to serve His Majesty to take the pill.
Since when could you serve His Majesty?
Master, I'm just ordered to do so.
Since His Majesty ascended the throne, I've been taking care of his diet.
Eunuch Jin, if there is something wrong with the food, how do you think you can get away from the execution?
Give it to me.
Yes.
Why are you still standing here?
Go get some water.
Yes.
Your Majesty, it's time to take the pill.
Pill?
Really?
- Yes.
- Yes.
His Majesty has fallen asleep.
Nobody can come in.
Yes.
I'm Jin Quan.
I have something important to tell Her Grace.
Her Grace doesn't feel well recently.
She can't fall asleep at night.
And she's having a rest now.
Nobody can disturb her.
I have something crucial.
Whatever it is.
You can come later.
But... Madam.
What's the noise?
How dare you!
Madam, it's really important.
Or however daring I am, I won't come to disturb Her Grace.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
What's wrong?
What's the noise?
Jin Quan said the pills His Majesty are taking have been replaced.
You mean he hasn't taken the pills?
My Lord, it is reported that the rumor has reached the North.
Lord Kangping Marquis Anxi, Marquis Xinyuan, Marquis Wuding, and Marquis Chengde all received the order, but refused to open the gate.
They said that... What?
They said that now people all over the country know His Majesty is seriously ill.
The Prime Minister controls His Majesty for commands.
Military leadership has been taken by other families.
Lord Jianning aims to purge the villains around His Majesty.
You are the Prime Minister's son-in-law.
So... Purge the villains around His Majesty?
The Prime Minister has his own purpose.
But Lord Jianning wants something else, too.
My Lord, Marquis Jing'an has opened the gate to let us pass.
Will we go or not?
Marquis Jing'an?
The territory of Marquis Jing'an lies in the middle.
In this case, we are surrounded by Lord Jianning and the southern royals.
If they work together, it'll be terrible for us.
Your Grace, the Third Prince followed us all the way.
Why did he stop at the gate?
The Capital is so busy and lively.
We've finally come back.
Your Grace, you were so eager to return.
But why do you look worried after coming back?
I'm worried about my mother's health.
When your parents see you, they must be very happy.
Tell General Song.
Let's visit my mother first.
Yes, Your Grace.
General Song, Her Grace will visit Prime Minister's Mansion first.
I see.
Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Is the dry honey from Qiujiang?
Yes.
Make the plum tea in a lighter way.
I told them.
Then... Don't worry.
Everything is settled down as we were told.
Wang An.
Master.
Put more shredded gingers in the fish broth.
Awu doesn't like fishy food.
Yes.
Master, the cart of Princess Consort Yuzhang has entered the city and is heading for us.
Wang An.
Go and welcome them.
Your Grace, you're home.
I'm home.
Your Grace, at last you're back.
Knowing you were in danger, my heart has been hammering I didn't feel relieved until today.
Sorry for keeping you worried.
During my absence, was everything all right at home?
Yes.
Yes.
Come in, please.
Master has been waiting for you inside.
(Defender Duke's Mansion) Come in, please, Your Grace.
Awu.
Greetings, Father.
Awu, stand up.
You had a tough time.
Where's my mother and brother?
This morning, His Highness... Come on in first.
Come in before we talk.
Your Grace, we have the plum tea from Yunshan, dried honey from Qiujiang, melon from the Western Regions, as well as fine wine of Langya.
Master asked us to get them ready for you.
It's so considerate.
I don't even know whether I am host or guest.
Please take some.
Wang An, where's my mother and brother?
Since knowing that you encountered danger in Huizhou, your mother has been sick and remained in bed.
She didn't get better until she knew you were out of danger.
Now, she's not staying home, but in Ci'an Temple for recuperation.
Didn't Mother know I was going back home?
Now that you're back, I will send someone tomorrow to get her back.
Mother always likes quite place.
I'll go to Ci'an Temple to greet her now.
At this point, your mother is worshiping Buddha.
What about tomorrow morning?
I'll ask Wang An to take you there.
Please forgive me for missing my mother.
Awu, you just came back.
Can't you finish a meal with me?
Awu, is Xiao Qi nice to you?
I didn't forget the rules of our family that one does not speak at the time of feeding and sleeping.
I'm full.
I am leaving first.
Wang An.
Sweet osmanthus cake.
Father.
Father, it's me.
It's me.
Father, what did you say?
Eunuch Xue.
Here.
Father has been awake for a long time.
Many treatment methods have been tried.
Why isn't he getting any better?
According to Imperial Physicians, it may be caused by residual poison from last time.
Then do you think my father will fully recover?
I'm afraid he isn't getting any better!
Mother, how can you say that?
Taken such good care of by Eunuch Xue, your father won't recover, no matter how he's treated.
Mother, what does that mean?
Your Grace, what you said makes me nervous.
Nervous?
Eunuch Xue, a daring man like you can be nervous?
Jin Quan.
Here.
Aren't these the pills my father should take every day?
Right.
These pills are for your father's medical treatment.
But Eunuch Xue didn't give any to him.
Xue Dao'an, what are you up to?
I'm innocent!
Wait!
Mother, Xue Dao'an is a seasoned servant of Father and he's always been loyal.
There may be some reasons behind this.
Zilong, you never know how vicious humans can be.
For the Crown Prince's sake, capital crime can be forgiven, but you will be dismissed from you position and you are punished to work in the Jinshan Office at hard labor.
You can never come into Shiqian Hall again!
I'm innocent!
I'm innocent!
I'm innocent!
Mother... Zilong.
Zilong, in the midst of palace, sometimes the people closest to you are the ones that you need to be cautious of.
I'm doing it all for your father, too.
I understand.
Good boy.
Leave us.
I'll stay and look after your father.
All right?
Mother, Father...
He has some dementia now.
Please don't quarrel with him anymore.
Please promise me.
I know.
Go ahead.
I'm leaving now, Father.
Jin Quan.
Here.
From now on, you're the chief eunuch of Shiqian Hall.
Thank you, Your Grace.
Every day, you need to help His Majesty to take the pill.
Remember, every day.
Yes, Your Grace.
His Majesty hasn't taken the pill today.
Be quick.
Give his Majesty the pill.
Your Grace, His Majesty has fallen asleep.
Wake him up.
He must take it on time every day.
Otherwise, how can he be cured?
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, please take the pill.
Your Majesty.
Time to take the pill.
Your Majesty, don't you want to be immortal?
Take this pill made by Immortal Lao-zi, and you will be immortal.
Immortal Lao-zi?
Immortal.
Your Majesty.
I want to be immortal.
Your Majesty, no rush, no rush.
Your Grace!
Your Grace!
This is the sweet osmanthus cake Master prepared for you.
Where does osmanthus come from in this season?
You also find it rare, right?
Last autumn, Master ordered me to find two osmanthus trees and have them planted in the greenhouse.
They're taken good care of by florists from the palace.
Don't know what method the florists used, but trees bloom continuously.
Your Grace, please take it.
Master will be happy.
He came to me again and again and even offered to marry his daughter to me.
Just because he wanted my military power, too.
Men, be quick.
Come on!
- Come.
- Come on.
- Don't get burned.
- Next.
Follow up.
- Be quick, come on.
- Next.
Come up.
Give me some more.
- Man, look.
- Here.
Everyone has this much.
You just make do with it.
- Such a little food is not enough.
- Next.
Give me some more.
Look.
We've been stuck outside the town for days.
Next.
Move no forward or back.
No supplies is added.
If we don't eat sparingly, in some days, we'll have no choice but to eat bark and grass.
If there is no enough food, how can we fight?
- Yeah.
- All soldiers are starving - as weak as girls.
- Yeah.
- Why don't you understand?
- Yeah.
Many others are waiting.
Don't make trouble.
- Who do you mean?
- Who are you mean?
Go.
Go.
Come on, hurry up.
Come on, come up.
Follow up.
Come on!
- My Lord, after you.
- My Lord, after you.
My Lord, why do you queue?
You don't need to queue.
All right, then.
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
- Come on.
- Thanks.
- Hurry up.
- Here you are.
Thank you All right.
Next.
All right.
Alright, here you are.
All right.
My Lord.
My Lord, let me give you refill.
My Lord!
General.
- Come on.
- General.
One more spoon.
- One more spoon for you.
- Be quick.
General!
There is Wang Lin in the Capital.
There is Xiao Qi outside the Capital.
It is not easy to tackle with them.
If we want to defeat Wang Lin, We must kill Xiao Qi first.
Duke Huan, Ningshuo Army led by Xiao Qi are brave and experienced in battles.
If we fight them directly, is it a good plan?
We don't need to fight a humble man like him.
Lord Jianning was blocked in Huizhou, retreating on purpose for a hundred miles.
In fact, he wanted to consume Ningshuo Army' s supplies.
Many lords do not respect Xiao Qi at all.
Now Xiao Qi leads his army to chase Lord Jianning.
Along the way in Pengze, Chuzou, Xilu, and Xinjin, he was shut out of the town and had no army supplies.
Also, I will add fuel to the flames.
My Lord, now we still have half bowl of rice.
When we run out of supplies in a couple of days, we'll have to go back to Ningshuo even before Lord Jianning fights us.
All the royals know nothing but shut the gates.
My Lord, as far as I am concerned, why not kill one to warn the rest?
Let's destroy a random town to show those lords what we can do.
So our soldiers can have some supplies to fill.
Are we bandits?
I'm full.
My Lord, I'm full already.
Have it.
My Lord, I shot them this morning.
They are ready to eat.
My Lord!
Go.
Share them with soldiers.
They are not enough.
My Lord, take a few bites.
When you can get full, we will be energetic because you are our leader.
Tang Jing!
If the supplies don't arrive in three days, we will retreat.
My Lord, we've never retreated before.
Then it will our first time to retreat.
Retreat!
We can't!
Guanglie.
Go share the chickens with the wounded soldiers.
I have followed the Lord for years.
I haven't been such a loser before.
We already won the war.
How come we retreat after the victory?
What a shame!
Lord must have a plan.
He never does anything without plan.
As far as I am concerned, those lords are so hostile to us because Lord married Princess Shangyang.
- It's her fault.
- Hu Yao!
How dare you gossip about Her Grace!
In the battle in Huizhou, as a woman who never went to a war, she gave brilliant guidance.
Everyone is convinced!
Furthermore, even if it is her fault that lords hate us, you should bear in mind that she is Lord's wife!
(Lord Yuzhang's Mansion) Go tell them.
Yes.
Her Grace is back!
Her Grace is back!
Her Grace is back!
Her Grace is back!
Her Grace is back!
Welcome back, Your Grace.
Welcome back, Your Grace.
Your Grace, this is our mansion in the Capital?
It is far more splendid than the one in Ningshuo.
