If he wants another Crown Prince, he has to ask if my family agrees.

You're so domineering.

Domineering!

You're the same as your brother!

What's the problem of Zilong becoming the Emperor?

Look at the existing Emperor.

He's half crazy and half stupid.

Is he still able to rule the state or govern his subjects?

His Majesty was ruined by your family.

Don't say anything else.

I would rather die than betray His Majesty or work for you.

Wen Zongshen, now that you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being cruel.

Zilong is my son.

As long as he can ascend the throne, even if it's to fight against you, I would show no mercy.

My Lord, good news!

What good news?

The rear sentry reported Duke Huan has sent provisions to support us!

Duke Huan?

Said it's the Prime Minister's order.

It makes sense.

Duke Huan and Prime Minister are also relatives by marriage.

You can always rely on people on your own side at critical moments.

When will his provisions arrive?

It's said that they will arrive in just a few days.

My Lord, tomorrow...

Tomorrow what?

We don't have to retreat, do we?

Your Majesty, time to take the medicine.

I don't want it.

Your Majesty, Her Grace asked me to serve this to you.

It will cure your illness, Your Majesty.

I feel sleepy today.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, please get up!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty.

I don't want it!

It's not up to you, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, come on.

Come on!

Your illness will gone after taking it, Your Majesty!

Take it quickly!

What are you doing?

Your Grace, I was asked by the Empress to serve the medicine to His Majesty.

Did Her Grace ask you to force His Majesty like that?

I have no choice.

Get out!

Your Grace, His Majesty hasn't taken it yet.

Get out!

Uncle, it has only been one year.

What happened to you?

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have left here.

I shouldn't have left you alone.

If I had been here, you would not have suffered like this.

Uncle.

It's me, Awu.

Awu, you've come?

Can you recognize me?

It's me, Awu.

It's good you're here.

Sorry for what you've suffered.

Awu.

I heard that you have...

Hysteria, right?

I don't have hysteria.

My mind is clear.

What do you mean?

If I didn't act like that, I would have been dead.

I can keep it secret to anyone, but you.

What on earth is going on?

Awu, there's something that I must tell you What Xie Yuan, Xu Shou and Du Meng did was acquiesced by me.

It was you who wanted to kill Xiao Qi and me?

This is the struggle for power.

Your father is an influential minister and your husband a powerful general.

Both of them are threats to the monarch.

No matter who the Emperor is, he will manage to eliminate them.

Xie Yuan, Xu Shou and Du Meng were the arrows that the Emperor shot to Xiao Qi.

Awu I'm the Emperor, but also your uncle.

For what the Emperor should do, I don't want to do it as your uncle.

Will you forgive me?

♪Love and hate make us meet and part♪ ♪Wind blows but clouds don't disperse♪ ♪Life is so♪ Your Grace, what's wrong?

I'm fine.

No, you're not.

I can tell it.

What can you tell?

I'm just a maid, I'm not supposed to ask.

However, you have been depressed since getting out of Shiqian Hall.

What happened to you?

I'm quite worried.

I have never imagined that His Majesty... His Majesty could be so ill.

I feel upset.

Your Grace, don't worry.

There're so many physicians in the palace.

They will surly cure His Majesty.

Greetings, Your Grace.

You...

I'm Xue Dao'an.

Eunuch Xue?

What happened to you?

Your Grace, I am innocent.

Please stand up.

What on earth has happened?

Your Grace, as long as you see Her Grace, you will know everything.

Your Grace.

Your Grace, Princess Consort Yuzhang is here.

She doesn't look happy.

Awu?

- Greetings, Your Grace.

- Greetings, Your Grace.

Aunt.

You may get up.

Awu, I miss you so much.

You haven't visited me for such a long time I also miss you every day.

Come on.

Dagger!

Evil Empress!

Watch out, Your Grace!

Madam Liao!

Evil Empress, I must kill you today!

Awu!

Yuxiu!

Awu, Awu, Awu!

Your Grace, stand aside!

You're doing harm to our state!

Your Majesty, I... Awu!

- Awu.

- Aunt.

- Awu.

- Aunt.

It's alright.

- Awu.

- Aunt, don't be afraid.

Why hasn't any physician come yet?

I'll go check it.

Your Grace, Physician Shen has come.

Get him in.

Greetings, Your Grace.

How's Madam Liao?

She's already dead.

Please have a look at Yuxiu.

All right!

Your Grace, you'd better stay elsewhere.

All right!

Styptic powder.

How's she, Physician Shen?

Please hold on, Your Grace.

Your Grace, the assassin was very cruel.

She was cut very deeply, close to the heart.

And she has lost too much blood.

I'm afraid...

I'm afraid she can hardly survive.

Physician Shen, please try your best to save her.

Don't worry, Your Grace.

I will definitely try my utmost.

It was to save me that you lost your life.

You're always loyal to me.

Now that you've gone, I'm the next.

Your Grace, this is the spirit-quieting decoction the physicians gave you.

Get away!

Get away!

You coward slaves!

You all expect me to die!

You all hate me!

Get out, all of you!

Aunt, what's going on?

It's alright.

It's all gone.

Don't worry, Aunt.

I'll stay with you.

It's alright.

Awu, you saved me.

Otherwise I would have died today.

They all hate me.

Awu, do you hate me?

Aunt, don't think too much.

Aunt, look.

When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you'll be the most exalted mother in this country.

No one would do harm to you.

The Crown Prince will protect you.

That's right.

My son is about to become the Emperor.

I will watch him sitting on the throne and become a good Emperor eulogized by generations.

But, he hates me.

They all hate me!

He would rather die than ask me for help nor help me.

And he...

He betrayed me for my whole life.

He even wanted to depose me and our son.

I don't know what wrong I've done.

I've been cherishing him all my life.

I've forborne a lot.

But... What else does he want from me?

What else can I do?

Aunt.

Your Grace.

What's wrong with her?

Her Grace has been acting like this.

Neither physicians nor monks can cure her.

It's said that the ghost of Noble Consort Xie is haunting her.

Nonsense!

My fault!

Hurry up to get the medicine.

Yes.

Anyone who stops Zilong from the throne shall be killed!

They shall be killed!

They shall be killed!

She used me as a chess piece, and pushed me out personally.

She deceived me and abandoned me.

Maybe I used to hate her.

I don't know whether I should see her as the Empress or my dear aunt.

But when someone stabbed at her, I couldn't help but stand in front of her without any hesitance.

(Lute and lyre by our side, In peace we shall abide) (Wen and Huanxi, stay in love.)

Awu!

Father.

Awu!

Awu, don't be scared.

Father is here.

Don't be scared.

I'd glad you're safe.

I'd glad you're safe.

Please bless Mother to recover soon and let these unpleasant things all gone.

Fortunately, Her Grace was not hurt.

Just let her take a rest.

Awu, the assassin was Eunuch Xue who served Father?

Could he hate Mother because she banished him to Jinshan Office?

It's not that simple.

Eunuch Xue has served in the palace for years.

He's loyal to His Majesty What made him do that at the risk of his life?

I happened to be at Shiqian Hall that day.

Eunuch Xue secretly changed the medicine that Father took every day.

For the sake for his service for years, Mother only punished him to do hard labor.

Who expected him to be so malicious!

She's too tenderhearted.

Such spoilt eunuchs should have done killed immediately.

Zhaoyang Hall was strongly guarded in ordinary days so he had no chance to take actions.

He must have planned for a long time.

When you were ignorant of what happened, he made use of you to get into the adytum naturally.

Even dumping him to the unmarked common graves would still be a mercy.

If I knew it, I would have him torn limb from limb and lashed for 500 times.

Zilong, come and ascend the throne.

Mother!

Mother, here I am.

Her mind is not clear.

Ever since she was scared, she has been talking nonsense.

Talking nonsense?

What kind of nonsense?

Has anyone else heard it?

Only I was by her side.

It was vague and I didn't hear it clearly.

Her Grace has been working hard for days.

She's just a little delirious after being scared.

There shouldn't be any big problem.

It's all thanks to Yuxiu.

Otherwise I couldn't see you anymore.

Sure, what a great luck!

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Prime Minister.

Zitan, it's your turn.

Come on, have a seat.

It's your turn.

Father, I am Zilv.

It's your turn.

Prime Minister Father's hysteria is getting more and more serious.

I'm too stupid to do anything else, but play chess with him to make him laugh.

Your Highness, you're so filial.

His Majesty will definitely feel it.

Prime Minister, do you have anything to report to Father?

I will leave now.

It's not necessary.

I'm here to tell Your Majesty that someone assassinated the Empress and Princess Consort Yuzhang in Zhaoyang Hall.

How are they doing now?

Thanks to Your Majesty's bless, they are both safe.

Who is the assassin?

How dare he!

He's not anyone else, but Xue Dao'an who used to serve Your Majesty.

Xue Dao'an?

Where is he, Prime Minister?

He was killed by spears and dumped to the unmarked common graves outside the town.

It's my turn or...

It's your turn?

For a slave who assassinates his master, it's a mercy to just kill him!

It's your turn.

Your Majesty, time to take the medicine.

Eunuch Jin, just put it here.

I'll serve Father later.

But...

Your Highness, His Majesty's health is the most important.

Don't miss the time.

It's your turn.

I'm about to win Father, let's quit it.

We have to take medicine.

Zitan, go ahead, it's your turn.

To the toilet.

To the toilet.

Eunuch Jin, let me do it.

Take care, Father.

Father, are you alright?

Awu.

Zitan?

Awu, I heard that something bad happened in the palace.

So I rushed here to see you.

Thank you for the concern, Your Highness.

Are you hurt?

Let me have a look.

I'm fine.

Awu!

Lord Yuzhang is not at home today, so it's not convenient to invite Your Highness in.

Please forgive me.

Your Highness, please go back.

Eunuch Jin.

Your Highness.

I'm here to take care of Father.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Father!

Father, you... Kneel down.

Kneel down now!

Father!

Zitan was assassinated on the Lantern Festival.

Gu Yong was murdered.

Zilong took in the dizzy incense and raped Xie Wanru in Huaguang Hall.

You did all this, didn't you?

Father.

How dare you!

If Xie Yuan didn't send me the secret report, I would have been fooled by you.

I'm so silly.

I'm just a jerk.

But all I did was to wrestle against the Wang Family!

If it were not for that, how could I forgive you?

Stand up.

Thank you, Father.

Xue Dao'an has served me for more than thirty years.

He was always loyal to me.

But he ended up a miserable death.

I'll make the Wang Family pay the price.

Father, if you really want to avenge him, you must forbear now.

When Wang Lin isn't noticing, I will assist you secretly to get back your power.

Your Grace.

No need to be overly courteous.

Why did you go out alone today?

Where's Yuxiu?

She never left you alone before.

To save me today, Yuxiu was seriously injured.

So I left her in the Palace for treatment.

You were in danger in the Palace?

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

But Yuxiu was seriously injured.

The physician said she could hardly live.

If she... May God bless her to be safe and sound.

Don't worry, Your Grace.

Yuxiu always has a strong will.

She will get over this for sure.

Your Grace, you must be hungry.

Go get something to eat.

Yes.

Your Grace, a messenger from the Palace came and said Yuxiu was not getting well.

What?

I never expected you to be the bravest and smartest among my three sons.

Zilong and Zitan both had their mothers to stay together when they were little.

But I don't.

So I can do nothing but...

It's my fault.

I know very well about my own body.

I'm dying.

I just want to spare no effort to defeat the Wang Family.

Unfortunately, the Xie Family has already declined.

Wen Zongshen is in prison.

The court is all in the control of Wang Lin.

What's more, he has a son-in-law who leads millions of strong soldiers.

Our country will soon become the Wang's.

No.

Father, you can't be disheartened!

The current situation is the enemy is an easy target while we are hiding in the dark.

Father, if you write a secret edict to call on people to suppress the rebels, I would appoint someone to carry this edict to the southern regions and contact the royalist armies there.

There will sure be hundreds of responses and they'll suppress the rebels and get you out of trouble.

Take care, Father.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Majesty, it's time to take a rest.

Let me get you to bed.

You may leave.

Zitan.

I'm here.

I'm tired and I want to sleep.

You may come here tomorrow.

Yes.

Good day, Father.

Your Highness, your filial piety is taken as it's from the Third Prince.

I just take care of Father.

It doesn't matter.

Physician Shen, what happened?

Your Grace, Yuxiu has had a high fever.

And she was suddenly having tachypnea.

I was afraid that she wouldn't survive tonight.

So I had you informed so that you are mentally prepared.

I don't want to be prepared.

I just want her to be alive!

But... Acupuncture...

It might save her life.

But it's too drastic.

I worry that she can't stand it.

If you don't use that method, is there any other way to save her?

No.

Then do it.

All right!

Your Grace, If in two days her fever doesn't stop, no one in this world can save her life.

Brother, just as we guessed.

The Wen Family was also involved in Xie Yuan's case.
