Zitan risked his life to save me.

Although he is out of danger now, anyway, I should pay a visit to him in person.

When I see Lord Yuzhang treat Awu sincerely, I feel half relieved.

But I am still concerned about my son.

You've been to the Prime Minister's Mansion but never seen him for several days in a row.

Both the daughter and the son are blood relations to me.

My son Su met such a suffering.

And he's the most sensitive one.

How am I supposed to relieve myself?

Shall I try visiting him again tomorrow?

Besides, the birthday of Princess Consort is in a few days.

His Highness is sure to come.

Fair enough.

Love is hurtful, Even I don't understand it.

What am I supposed to say to him?

Greetings, Your Grace.

Her Grace specially comes, to visit the Third Prince.

Your Grace, please return.

The Crown Princess is in the mansion.

She does not allow anyone in.

Go and report to her.

I'll wait here.

Yes.

Your Highness, Princess Consort Yuzhang asked to see you.

How can Su Jin'er be so brazen?

After being expelled by the Third Prince, and serve as a maid again, she is still coming here without shame.

And Princess Consort Yuzhang... Come on, she a jinx to His Highness.

Are you crazy?

His Highness allows no one to complain about her.

Think about it.

Does Princess Consort Yuzhang know the affairs between His Highness and Su Jin'er?

I have no clue.

Your Grace, pardon me, please.

It is truly not me who didn't allow you in.

The Crown Princess ordered that everyone can visit His Highness except... except you.

Then, I'll just take the medicine in.

May I?

Miss Jin'er, the Crown Princess said we aren't short of medicine, especially... especially that from Princess Consort Yuzhang.

Say no more!

Zitan was severely injured for saving me.

It's reasonable when Wanru is mad at me.

Let's return.

Princess Consort Yuzhang.

Your... Wanru.

You are now Princess Consort Yuzhang.

What are you here for?

Zitan risked his life and saved me.

Shouldn't I come to thank him?

Zitan got such an end.

Isn't that because of you?

Save your time and do not be pretentious.

I am sincere!

How can anyone of your family be sincere?

In my heart, you are always my close friend.

Your Grace, Our Princess Consort prepared the herbs specially for the Third Prince.

Good day, Wanru.

My Lord, why are you back so early today?

Where is Wang Xuan?

Her Grace is at the lake by herself.

she seems not happy.

Why?

Earlier today, Her Grace and Jin'er took some gifts to see the Third Prince, but they weren't allowed in.

Your Grace, go to sleep early.

Xu, these days, my heart hurts badly and I cannot calm down.

I feel something is going to happen.

You must be overanxious because too many things happened lately.

Well, if you are willing to separate from this world, you'd better let go of those worries.

For those national matters, you'll never have a clear view.

You might just get rid of them.

I can put national matters aside.

But taking Su for instance.

When I think of how he was humiliated, my heart bleeds.

He even refused to see me when I went to his mansion.

In the past, several days before Princess Consort's birthday, you would take them here for the praying.

This time, Her Grace is surely to come.

But His Highness... Huan Mi is deceased now.

I'm afraid the stab in his heart will never be removed.

For your information, Your Highness, these are the registers for all maids, eunuchs and guards.

Put it here.

Yes.

Leave us.

(Register for Taiji Hall) All right.

Lord Yuzhang, I'll leave them to you.

Check them one by one.

What for?

Too many people were involved in the coup.

I'm afraid some eunuchs still show sympathy for him I, hereby, request from the Crown Prince to investigate everyone in the palace, from Imperial Armies to maids to avoid any further trouble.

Will that be necessary?

Imperial guards are warriors meticulously selected.

One or two escaped men won't cause too much trouble.

The security of the Palace is related to the safety of the nation.

We shouldn't allow any hazard to exist.

You are right.

But, since it is a matter of the Palace, we'd better leave it to the Empress to decide.

Uncle, must we report to the Empress?

That won't be necessary.

This time, my father, my mother, and you have all suffered a lot.

As the Crown Prince, I was even put into the jail!

This time, without the help of Lord Yuzhang and Awu, I might have been killed!

Now, I only trust Lord Yuzhang.

I believe his capability.

I don't trust any other subordinate.

I'll ask Lord Yuzhang to investigate all of them one by one.

We shouldn't allow any defectors in the Palace.

By the way, Imperial Armies...

If they were capable enough, Zilv wouldn't have managed to wage the insurgence!

Uncle I used to trust you, but even you played into Zilv's plot and couldn't get out.

How am I supposed to trust...?

I won't trust anyone, anyway.

Your Highness, I'm guilty.

You're right.

There is truly a high risk in the Palace.

I not only got myself in trouble, but also got your second uncle Militant General to lose his life.

I feel ashamed of myself.

I'm mentally and physically exhausted and I'm not able to accomplish what I am assigned with.

I request for retirement in my hometown and pondering upon my faults.

When I leave the Capital, I'd like to give my lands and houses to my son-in-law Lord Yuzhang Xiao Qi.

I just want Wang An and other several servants to accompany me.

Your Highness, please ratify my request!

Uncle, I didn't mean that.

Uncle, I just...

I understand.

I... Greetings, Your Grace.

Mother!

Zilong, how could you keep the Grand Preceptor kneeling?

I didn't.

Brother, please stand up.

Brother, stand up.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, thank you for not killing me.

I request for retirement in my hometown and pondering upon my faults.

When I leave the Capital, I'd like to give my lands and houses to my son-in-law Lord Yuzhang Xiao Qi.

How is your wound?

My Lord, thanks for asking.

It isn't serious.

Is there any news about the person we are looking for?

Not yet.

We have been searching for so many years.

Could it be that...?

Then, continue the search.

Yes.

Master, it is late now.

Reading is like observing people.

You will get something sooner or later if your stick to it.

But Master, are these reports were written by the followers of the Second Prince.

So what?

Now, Gu Yong, Xie Yuan and Duke Huan were dead or injured.

The situation is urgent.

If our family wants to do something, I'll have to recruit elites all over the country and bring them into full play.

Unfortunately, Zilv only recruited mediocre persons.

Only two of them are useful.

Tomorrow, you take my order and tell them to see me in my mansion.

Yes.

What about the rest?

Kill them.

Be careful, Your Highness.

Don't tumble, Your Highness.

Who is yelling outside?

I'll go and check.

- Your Highness, Your Highness!

- Your Highness Report.

Master, His Highness is drunk again.

He's brawling in the back yard.

Don't follow me!

Your Highness!

- Women are the apple of discord!

- Your Highness!

- Stop His Highness!

- Go away!

- Your Highness, Your Highness!

- Your Highness!

- Your Highness!

- Your Highness, mind your step!

Go away!

- Your Highness, Your Highness!

- Your Highness!

Get away!

I'm Zhu Yan, not Huan Mi.

I will not hurt you!

What did you say?

Your Highness!

If you dare to mention her again, I'll kill you!

Kill me, too!

Father.

- Your Highness!

- Master!

Master!

Your Highness!

Stand up!

Master, Master, Master!

- Master.

- Your Highness - Your Highness.

- Master!

Master!

My Lord!

My Lord!

My Lord!

Her Grace is drunk again.

Your Grace, wake up.

Don't sleep here.

My Lord.

You are finally here.

Her Grace said she was not happy and asked me to drink with her.

Because of the wound, I could not drink.

Her Grace then drank up the whole jar alone.

Be careful.

My Lord.

Yuxiu, is the Lord angry?

He can't be.

- Master.

- Back off!

Leave, all of you!

Go, leave now.

Help!

Get down!

If you want to drink, drink in the water as much as you want.

Are you happy of seeing me dead?

What's the difference between your current situation and death?

If you keep doing this, I would rather not have you.

I know you are ashamed of me.

But have you ever think about it?

Are you a qualified father?

My mother has left.

Awu's away as well.

The whole mansion doesn't seem like a home at all!

Did you help me to marry Huan Mi, for my own good?

No!

You did it for yourself!

Don't forget.

That divorce letter got me divorced!

In front of all ministers, Zilv married my wife!

What a humiliation!

What a humiliation!

I nearly forgot.

Father, you're very fair.

To accomplish your own ambition, you sacrificed your kids' marriage.

You also sacrificed yourself, by marrying a woman you never loved for a whole life.

What couldn't you give up?

How do you know I don't love your mother?

Don't think I was too young to remember that.

You were determined to fight the royal family without hesitation even to have my mother hurt.

Just for the woman the late Empress Dowager killed, didn't you?

I know the whole truth.

You always say that I look down on you, without thinking about why.

I've devoted my life to our family and the nation.

It's alright that your mother thought I did all for hatred in love.

Even you think the same way as well.

But what is the truth?

You are my son and you are going to be the lord of the family and take responsibilities to lead the noble class.

Till then you will be able to understand what's in my mind.

Did I drink too much last night?

According to Yuxiu, you drank a whole jar of wine.

I thought of my mother.

Stuck between the royal family and my family for half of her life, she has suffered a lot of wrongs and grievances.

I sometimes think if Father didn't get into the fight for power, he would have loved my mother very much.

Xiao Qi, have you ever had the feeling that?

Suddenly one day, the home you once had just went scattered and fragmented.

No matter how, it can't be what it used to be.

I've never told you about my past, have I?

Neighbors raised me up and I haven't seen my own parents since I was a child.

I grew up in a small village with two tribal groups.

Before the outbreak of war, the two tribal groups were having intermarriages, living a peaceful and harmonious life.

Each and every one there had been kind to me.

They were all my families.

Later, I don't know since when, the two tribal groups who were originally harmonious became enemy to each other without warning.

One day, I went to herd sheep on the hill and watched from a distance that the whole village was on fire.

Mother!

The neighbors who used to treat me like a family killed each other.

People died in the hands of their former close neighbors.

Mother!

Tell me.

Do you think whether I know what fragmentation is?

Your Highness, you're awake?

Get the water ready.

I'm taking a bath!

All right.

All right.

Master has already ordered us to get the bath water ready.

We dare not let the water cool down.

I'll get the water for you immediately.

Master also ordered us to soak more wormwood in the bath water for you to get rid of the bad luck.

Yes.

His Highness wants to bath!

Brother, what are you here for?

Didn't we agree that we would go to the Ci'an Temple to burn incense and pray on this day of each year?

How could you forget?

I thought you wouldn't go.

Don't worry.

Everything has passed.

You said that.

Everything has passed.

Are you still mad at father?

I'm not.

You should be happy to see our mother soon.

Sure I am.

(Ci'an Temple) Father.

- Mother!

- Awu.

Awu, Su.

You've really come.

- Mother.

- Awu Su, my son.

Great.

Jinruo.

What are you doing here?

Now that you're here, come up then.

Hurry up!

Go.

How are you doing lately?

I'm doing well.

Have a seat.

Fine.

What did you say to Mother?

Mother once asked me what my birthday wish was.

I just told her that I wanted my parents to stay in peace and harmony.

Even...

Even for just one day.

Awu.

Look!

Maybe your birthday wish will come true.

If only that would happen!

Your Highness, please drink more.

Look, it's been only a couple of day, but you look much thinner.

What's wrong, Your Grace?

It doesn't taste right?

Are you ill?

Look how careless Xiao Qi is.

He doesn't even know that you are ill!

Brother, it has nothing to do with him.

Days ago, I was so frightened and tired.

I just need more rest.

Don't worry.

Your Highness, I have a few words to say to Her Grace.

Could you please leave for a moment?

What can't I hear?

A talk between ladies.

Just go.

All right, take your time.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Grace, is your period normal in these two months?

Seems to be late for overs 20 days.

But before I got married, it was the same, seemingly.

My silly girl, it's not the same after you got married.

Although you have been independent, you are still young on some issues.

Here, let me feel your pulse.

Your Grace, congratulations!

Your Grace, you're going to be a mother.

Really?

Yes.

When your mother knows about this, she may be so happy that she may not want to be a nun.

If she has a grandson, how could she be willing to chant scriptures in the temple?

I'm going to tell Her Grace and Master.

Madam Xu, don't tell them yet.

This is the best birthday present for me.

I want to leave a surprise for them and let them know later.

Alright, Your Grace.

Your Grace, you should eat more.

Why are you sitting here?

Waiting for you.

It's just half a day we haven't seen each other and you're missing me already?

In the half day, don't you miss me?

I even wanted to take you to the court.

You are not afraid of courtiers laughing at you?

I'm afraid that they will be jealous.

You visited Mother in Ci'an Temple, and how is she doing?

She's doing well.

I had a meal with her and we talked about interesting things in my childhood.

My Awu must have been more adorable when she was a child.

You sound just like Mother.

Mother said... She said what?

Mother said she wondered whether her granddaughter would be like me.

But I wonder what it would be if we have a baby who looks exactly like you.

I wish that the baby would look exactly like you.

In a few days, I will tell him at my birthday party that a little life connecting him and me is growing in my body.

I think that will be my happiest day.

In a few days, your birthday will come.

I am really not in the mood or health to attend your birthday party.

What you want least is rare treasures.

As you've seen almost everything in the Palace, I don't know what to give you as birthday present.

Simply, I'll just paint for you in person.

Uncle.

Uncle, why are you coughing up blood?

I've been coughing like this recently.

It's not only my present to you, but also a memento after I die.

Uncle, what are you talking about?

But, it's a pity... No, don't tear it up.

It's smart of you.

When you were this little, you... you were like a little tail and ran after me.

My Imperial Study and Taiji Hall were places where you played.

How time flies!

You've grown up and been married.

But, I am old now.

My health... Don't think that I have no idea of my health when Physicians keep all silent.

Everyone gets sick and dies.

Even if I am the Emperor, what's the difference between ordinary people and me?

It's just that I will get a bigger grave.

Uncle, I don't allow you to say so.

Or probably, fewer people will feel sad for me than those who shed tears for dead farmers.

It's about my birthday.

But you keep saying sad things.

All right.

My bad.

I made you sad.

Awu, I hear that your mother hasn't gone back home yet.

Yes.

Mother said she would never forgive my father.

And she also said that she was always the daughter of royal family and sister of the Emperor.

And what about you, Awu?

I am the daughter of my mother and the wife of Xiao Qi.

You have a really good husband.

In my life time, the most wrong thing I've done was to suspect him.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in such a mess.

Awu, I want you to promise me one thing.

Can you do it?

I will do whatever I can.

Keep it in mind.

I left a testamentary edict.
