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

Now we've removed the Emperor's wings, I think it's time to strike.

I've made arrangements for the Nine-bestowal Ceremony.

Brother, after having been waiting so long, finally we are going to make it.

How is the Empress these days?

Ladies from our family have gone through a lot of things.

She was sick for two days.

But I think she is fine now.

And she's still worried about Wen Zongshen.

Brother?

Why are you still here so late?

Leave us.

I need to talk with the Prime Minister.

Yes.

Brother, why are you visiting me so late?

There has been a lot of business in the court.

I just freed myself from them and I am coming to check on you.

Palpitation, like always.

I shouldn't have been softhearted.

I should have killed Xue Dao'an.

I heard that you went to the prison a few days ago.

I don't know why.

National affairs, needless to say.

Wen Zongshen is the Attendant.

He is well admired in the court.

If we could have his support, the Crown Prince would be stronger than ever on his way to the throne.

Just so?

What else do you think, Brother?

You'd better not.

Some things were long gone.

You'd better not think about it again.

Now, Wen Zongshen has taken you and me as traitors.

He would want nothing but us to die.

You favor him.

But he may not favor you.

You and I have planned so long.

Do not lose your discretion at this time.

Brother, I don't agree with you about this.

A just cause enjoys abundant support, an unjust cause finds scant support.

He is a nostalgic man.

That's merely your wishful thinking.

Stronger than ever?

You are sending the wolf to keep the sheep and breeding evil!

You ask yourself!

Are you doing this for the Crown Prince?

Or for your secret relationship in old years?

Prime Minister, How dare you!

Your Grace, calm down.

An honest advice is hard to take.

Now that you don't want to listen, I will say no more and I'm leaving.

Brother, my bad, I am too impatient.

Actually, I wanted to get him roped in for Zilong.

No other purposes.

Give me some more time, and I will get Wen Zongshen work for us.

Good.

I wish to see that.

Your Grace.

Follow him and see where is he going.

Yes.

Attendant Wen, you're really calm.

You are in the prison.

Yet you are sleeping so well.

I admire you.

A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe.

I'm not afraid of evil visitors.

Unlike someone else who has done conscienceless things and made himself a shame.

Absolutely, he can hardly sleep and keeps worried.

You're still as argumentative as you were in the court.

But unfortunately, the winner would take all but the loser gets nothing.

You and I are a few steps away in and out of the prison, but the outcome is doomed.

Wang Lin!

What goes around comes around.

You are quite arrogant for the moment.

But in the future, you will die as a dog!

What's going on?

Your Grace, as per your order, I followed the Prime Minister all the way down.

Instead of going back home, he went to the prison.

What?

He went to the prison?

By himself?

With two eunuchs.

You and I are enemies and friends.

You're among few people I admire.

Today, let us just enjoy the wine and talk about literature, instead of national affairs.

How does that sound?

Poisonous wine.

You simply want me to die.

Why bother telling lies?

I'm never afraid of death.

If you are not afraid of being beheaded, why are you afraid of poisonous wine?

Listen, the Emperor is muddled.

He is not as good as the late emperor.

He is also not as wise as we are.

Now we have domestic trouble and foreign aggressions.

There are battles in all places.

As the head of the secretariat, you would rather bear the name of a royal minister but do nothing to help?

Wang Lin, your wild ambitions are known to everybody.

Do not make excuses for yourself.

Wen Zongshen, I value talents That's why I'm talking with you sincerely.

Otherwise, what makes you think I would pay you a visit?

Enjoy it, please.

Wang Lin, I would rather die than make deals with the devil.

I will wait for you in the hell!

Don't!

Brother, didn't you promise me?

Promised you what?

I was only enjoying the wine with him.

What are you fearing of?

Anyhow, you cannot kill him!

Good.

Good.

Good.

You're awesome, Attendant Wen.

You are in the prison, but you can still make my sister, the Empress, crazy for you and can barely hold herself.

Amazing.

Brother!

You didn't appreciate the good wine.

What a pity!

Your Grace, run, run quickly!

Run, Your Grace!

When I thought I was abandoned by my family, Yuxiu showed me care and compassions.

She reminded me in the world, apart from imperial power and richness, intrigues and deceptions, there are people out of your family that care about you, be loyal to you and protect you.

I have lost things, but I have also gained things.

I won't give up on you, Yuxiu.

General Hu.

Where is the Lord?

He hasn't been sleeping much these days.

He has just finished the patrol and gone to bed for less than two hours.

Go tell the Lord.

Tell him that Duke Huan's supplies have arrived.

The messenger wants to meet him.

Brother, let him sleep longer.

He is my guest here.

He has escorted the supplies all the way here.

I should meet him.

Let's go.

You had a hard day, General.

My Lord.

Greetings, My Lord.

Under the command of Duke Huan, I have escorted the supplies to you.

You have come such a long way here with so many supplies, General.

That's indeed a timely help.

I'm quite grateful for how Duke Huan helped.

Lord Yuzhang, Duke Huan also has an important message for you.

Can we have a word in private?

All right.

So, Duke Huan is entrusted by the Prime Minister.

Exactly.

Duke Huan is coming here from the Capital.

Huan's army is lined up and ready to go, waiting for orders anytime.

Does he have the edict of His Majesty?

My Lord, since His Majesty was poisoned, he has not been recovered.

He seemed to lose his mind recently.

So, the Crown Prince is reigning, and the Prime Minister serves as Regent.

This is an edict from them.

It's a secret imperial edict.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

You are awake, Yuxiu?

You are finally awake.

How do you feel?

If you don't wake up, Her Grace would be exhausted.

Her Grace has stayed here for several nights to take care of you.

As a maid myself, I have never seen such a master.

Your Grace, I don't deserve it.

Don't say that.

I have made up my mind.

From today on, you are no longer my maid.

I want you to be my little sister.

I dare not, Your Grace.

When you saved me, you were quite brave.

Your Grace, you have not slept well for several nights.

Get back to Fengchi Palace and take a rest.

I have talked with the Empress.

You can take a good and peaceful rest here.

When you are getting better, I will take you home.

Your Grace, please go to rest.

I'll follow your orders.

My Lord.

My Lord, Tang Jing wants to ask when we'll march the army?

Hu Guanglie.

My Lord, Hu Guanglie wants to know!

Go away!

Impatient?

No.

We think we are fully equipped with supplies with a wonderful boost for the morale.

What are we still waiting for, My Lord?

Are you sure of a victory if we move?

With your command, My Lord, our Ningshuo Army has never lost.

Where is Huan's reinforcement now?

They have passed Hanmeng Pass.

Quite close to us.

Hanmeng Pass?

My Lord, do we really have to wait for Duke Huan's reinforcement?

Yes, My Lord.

If we hesitate, Lord Jianning's army may besiege us in advance.

That will be a real trouble.

Lord Jianning is on the west Hanmeng Pass is on the east.

We are in the middle.

Duke Huan and I had no dealings before.

If he is not truly coming to help us, we'll have nowhere to retreat.

But... Duke Huan was sent by the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister is your father-in-law.

He has no reason to set you up.

Right, My Lord.

Duke Huan's supplies have arrived.

That's real.

If he really wants to set us up, why did he send so many supplies to us?

My Lord, if I may, since you were titled Lord Yuzhang, you are not as assertive as before.

In terms of battles, it is all about the creed!

My Lord, I think we should... Go give my order.

March forward 25 miles to Mount Xiaofeng and confront with Lord Jianning.

Yes!

Tang Jing, report what's going on to His Majesty immediately and deliver this letter to my wife.

Rest assured, My Lord.

I will certainly do that.

What are you laughing at?

No, I am not.

Go, go, go.

Duke Huan, Lord Yuzhang has marched his army towards west for 25 miles.

Across Mount Xiaofeng, they are confronting Lord Jianning's army.

It seems that the war is about to break out.

Xiao Qi finally couldn't take it anymore.

The more he moves forward, the closer he gets to hell.

The ones we sent to deliver the supplies, are they still in Xiao Qi's army?

Yes.

According to your plan, they can be our moles.

What Lord Yuzhang?

He's merely a man from the low class.

He has nothing but bold courage.

I will defeat him and he will be beheaded.

Your Grace, I've got it back.

The Second Prince said that thing was inside it.

Darling.

Darling, why are you here?

What?

You are my wife, and you are now allowing me to go in?

How come?

It is just because you are always in the side yard and you rarely come here.

When you are suddenly here, I'm quite surprised.

If I didn't know you didn't love me at all, what you just said would make me feel that you were jealous.

You are joking, darling.

Hold on.

What?

You are loath to feed me just one little dessert?

No, darling.

There're sour apricots in the dessert.

Don't you hate to eat sour things?

You do still remember I don't like sour things.

Good for you.

But sometimes, people change their tastes.

Yummy.

Darling, what on early do you come for?

You can speak straight to me.

Awu's birthday is approaching.

We didn't plan to have a big party.

But, considering Mother is now living in Ci'an Temple, I want to take this opportunity to ease the relationship between her and Father.

I specially come to tell you this and I hope you can get ready in advance.

Understood, darling.

Awu's birthday gift will be ready in advance.

Good.

One more thing, would you like to have dinner with me?

I am not hungry.

What did you say?

You're not hungry?

Yes.

You are not hungry?

Fine.

Zhu Yan and Feise are waiting for me in the side yard.

I will not stay here then.

See you, darling.

That was close.

How could he forget tomorrow is your birthday?

By comparison, the Second Prince is...

Shut up!

You have a loose tongue.

We were almost dying.

My bad.

(Mi, come to me tomorrow) Finally we are leaving the Palace.

I'm sure I don't fit this place and it's offensive to me.

I was nearly dead as soon as I got in the palace.

I dare not come again.

This is a place where people die.

I grew up at this place, but I didn't realize that before.

Also, at the thought of the Empress is living next door, I felt nervous.

I haven't slept well for many days.

Look at my eyes, Your Grace.

Farewell, Your Grace.

It's so lively out here.

I want to get out and play around.

Silly girl, you have not recovered and you are thinking about playing outside.

While I was lying on bed these days, I have lived an easy life with everything provided.

But I was not comfortable at all Well.

When you are recovered, I will take you out.

Sister-in-law?

This carriage is not from my home.

What's wrong, Your Grace?

Stop!

Pang Gui.

Here.

Follow the carriage on the right front side and see where the people inside are going.

Yes, Your Grace.

Your Grace, you are back?

(Lord Yuzhang's Mansion) How are you, Yuxiu?

Nothing serious.

General Song, thank you for the concern.

You don't know Without Her Grace, - you could not even... - You are wrong.

Without Yuxiu, I would not be here.

Yes.

Jin'er, you're back?

Greetings, Your Grace.

I have returned and am waiting for Your Grace for days.

Good to have you back.

Mi.

Zilv.

Come on.

Your Grace, this is the letter from the Lord.

General Song, when I was away, was everything all right in the mansion?

Everything was fine.

But we all worried about Your Grace and Yuxiu.

Nowadays, the imperial palace is really a dangerous place.

Fortunately, I'm safe.

Yuxiu has survived as well.

Please go visit her at your convenience.

She will be happy.

Yes.

I'll leave you alone, Your Grace.

Jin'er, you're back right in time.

I'll leave the affairs to you.

That's what I should do.

I believe you have suffered a lot out there.

I have not suffered.

For your sake, the Third Prince treated me well.

You may go now.

Yes.

Yuxiu.

General Song, Yuxiu, you did what I should have done.

Please accept my gratitude.

You flattered me.

If you had been there, the situation wouldn't be that bad.

If you hadn't sacrificed yourself and something had happened to Her Grace, I would have to kill myself to apologize to Lord.

General Song, you are too serious.

Her Grace was worried about you.

When she heard you were almost dying that night, Her Grace was so anxious that she cried and rushed to the palace immediately.

As a noble princess consort, she stayed at your bed to take care of you all night long.

Her Grace has been nice to me.

I will never forget.

Yuxiu, just go have a rest.

(To my wife Awu, From Husband Xiao Qi) Happy birthday to the Empress!

Long live the Empress!

Zilv.

Mi.

Bring it to us.

Leave us.

Mi, today is your birthday.

In a few days, all these things will become true.

That is my greatest gift for your birthday.

You will stand by my side in a dignified manner.

In this world, there will be no one to tear us apart.

But if...

There is no "but".

Mi, be relieved, we will not fail.

Now, Duke Huan hypocritically allied with Wang Lin and Lord Yuzhang.

At the time of the decisive battle, he will give Ningshuo Army a critical strike.

Xiao Qi will not realize he will be defeated by the reinforcement.

All right.

Today is your birthday.

Say no more about this.

Come on.

(Soldiers who sent provisions are staying in Xiao Qi's army) (According to my plan...) General Song.

Jin'er.

General Song.

Your Grace.

Your Grace, what brings you here personally?

Have you seen Pang Gui?

No, I haven't.

Yesterday on my way back from the palace with Yuxiu, I saw a suspicious carriage.

I asked Pang Gui to follow it.

But he hasn't come back yet.

Considering his capabilities, he should have come back to report.

Don't worry, Your Grace.

Pang Gui is the chief of your secret guards.

He is even a better martial artist than me.

He will be fine.

But what makes him disappear?

Who did he follow, Your Grace?

My sister-in-law, Huan Mi.

She is not close to my family and she is always secretive.

Yesterday, I saw her stepping out of a carriage that doesn't belong to my family.

This matter may be far beyond our imagination.

You didn't find him?

What about my private letter with Duke Huan?
