He's now made Lord Yuzhang!
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Lord Yuzhang.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You are the first lord without the royal blood.
I hope you will live up to your honor, defend the border and always be loyal to me.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Later, I have another reward for you.
Let the banquet begin.
Your Highness, thank you for saving us that day.
Luckily, you arrived in time and saved us.
Your Highness, don't mention it.
It was just a coincidence.
I'm glad you're fine.
I'd like to make a toast to you.
Your Highness, I beg your pardon.
I don't drink wine.
It's water in my cup.
It doesn't matter.
Cheers.

This is not the way to Zhaoyang Palace.
Today Her Grace is in Huaguang Hall.
Why hasn't she come back?
Lord Yuzhang.
Lord Yuzhang.
Lord Yuzhang, there you are.
It's too stuffy in the hall.
I came out to take some fresh air.
His Majesty has some good news to tell you.
What kind of good news?
I...
I dare not say it You'd better go back and wait for it.
Are you giving me an order?
I dare not, I dare not.
Shouldn't you get out of my sight now?
Yes.
Your Grace, this way please.
Please.
Is this the right place?
Why is there not a single person?
This is the place.
Maybe Her Grace has something intimate to tell you so that she specially found a tranquil place.
Your Grace, Her Grace is in there.
Get in.
I'll be waiting here.
Be gentle.
Be gentle.

What makes me worse than him?

Awu, do you still remember what we read in childhood?
By riverside are cooing a pair of turtledoves!
A good young man is wooing a fair maiden he loves!
Awu, get down!

Awu.
Zitan.
Help me!
How come it's you?
Is it done?
Is it done?
Awu didn't go to Huaguang Hall?
She did.
My son failed?
He succeeded.
It's just... Just what?
Say it!
It's just... His Highness mistook District Princess Yifang for Princess Shangyang.
Why was Xie Wanru in Huaguang Hall?
I don't know, either.
Your Grace, the Empress asked to see you.
This way, please.
You stay here.
I'll take care of her.
Your Grace, please wait a second.
Awu!
Awu.
Awu.
Awu.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Awu.
Awu.
There you are.
- Awu.
- I didn't know you were crazy for her.
Awu!
Don't leave, Awu!
Don't go!
Your Highness, I am Wanru.
I finally got you.
Look, I am Wanru.
I waited for you for so long.
I think about you all the time.
- Let me go!
- Come to me.
- You!
- Don't be scared.
Let me go!
- Don't be scared.
- Your Highness!
- Let me go!
- Awu.
Wanru, don't kill yourself no matter what.
Don't be afraid.
I'll defend you.
Don't be afraid.
Your Majesty, Zilong is naughty.
But he loves Awu only.
How come he treated Wanru like this?
There must be some misunderstanding.
Your Majesty, what does that mean?
Girls in your family are precious.
But girls in my family can be insulted at will?
Stop arguing.
I certainly will find out the truth and explain to the Xie Family.
Father, I'm sorry.
It's all my fault.
I drank too much at today's banquet.
I don't know why, but I was likely to lose my mind so that I didn't stop.
I never expected to hurt her, Xie Wanru.
If it wasn't her, who should it be?
Awu, I suppose.
How dare you!
I made you the Crown Prince.
Then I can make you not!
Father!
Don't, Your Majesty!
It was my fault.
Father, I'm really sorry.
Shut up!
Mother!
Mother, please beg Father for me.
It was my fault.
I'm really sorry.
I just wanted to get my wife back!
Awu is from the Wang Family and she should be my wife.
How...?
How can she marry someone else?
Your Majesty, no matter what mistake Zilong made, he is the Crown Prince after all.
Your Majesty, please think carefully.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Xue Dao'an!
Here.
Give the poisonous wine to Madam Xu and all the other servants who came to Huaguang Hall.
You!
How shall I scold you?
Brother!
Brother, don't get angry.
Zilong simply lost his mind.
His Majesty has punished him.
Besides, Awu wasn't really hurt.
If Awu really got hurt, you wouldn't be as precious as her even if you're the Crown Prince.
Uncle, I know I am wrong.
I won't dare to do it again.
Uncle, please help me.
Help me!
This time, Father really wants a new Crown Prince.
Uncle, you must help me!
I...
I swear to you that I won't dare to have my eye on Awu again.
Brother, Zilong has made a big trouble, but he has the blood of our family.
Brother, do something for him.
If His Majesty picks a new Crown Prince, will you and I lose our family inheritance over a hundred years?
Uncle, help me!
Listen.
If you dare to ruin my big plan again, our family will no longer stand up for you.
Marry Xie Wanru immediately, making her your Crown Princess.
But Awu... How dare you mention her again!
You should think over how to keep your position as the Crown Prince.
It's you, Zitan?
You scared me.
It's so late.
Why aren't you back to your own palace?
Go back for sleep.
Leave.
Leave us.
Leave us!
Your Highness!
Go away!
Zitan, I am the Crown Prince and your elder brother!
How dare you punch me!
That was for Wanru.
After you raped her, she nearly hanged herself.
As a woman, when she lost her chastity, how can she face anyone?
Again?
Why did you punch me again?
That was for Awu!
Since she was born, when has she ever suffered like that?
Awu should be my Crown Princess.
Without you, she...
I won't allow you to humiliate her!
Your Highness, - please stop!
- Somebody help!
- If His Majesty and Her Grace know, - Somebody help!
there would be trouble!
Go away!
I warn you!
I warn you!
If you dare to badger with Awu, I will not let you go!
You'd better not let me see Zilong.
Or I'll punch him to defend Awu!
The physical pain can be healed.
But if she a mental problem... Greetings, Mother.
I heard that Awu had some trouble in the Palace.
So, I come to see her.
Thanks for your concern, good girl.
Put it down.
Too many people here will disturb Awu's recuperation.
You can go back.
Yes.
I'm leaving, Mother.
Son, you've been married for a few years.
Why are you still so cold to your wife?
I'm expecting a grandson.
Look, Awu is sick now.
How come you still think about my business?
Talk about it later.
How's Awu?
Master, Her Grace was freaked out.
Since she returned home, she has had a high fever.
She just took some medicine and is asleep.
Madam is accompanying her in person.
Bear with it.
I'll take revenge for you!
Mother, don't get angry.
It was my own fault.
Zitan punched me, because his cousin was humiliated.
Father and Uncle are all still in a fury.
Noble Concubine Xie is also importunate.
Mother, shall we let it go?
Let it go?
You!
What shall I say?
If people hear of it, how humiliated you'll be!
I'm disgraced, too.
Mother, please forgive me.
I just don't want you to be upset anymore.
It's better to let it go.
Stand up.
Be quick.
Come on, get up.
My head hurts, too.
I have no interest in Xie Wanru.
Does it mean that I have to live with her as strangers for the rest of my life?
Now it's not up to you.
If you do not marry Xie Wanru, the treacherous Noble Concubine Xie will keep asking your father to punish you.
Then, I'm afraid that even I cannot protect you.
Mother, will Father really make me no longer the Crown Prince?
You've reminded me.
Zitan dared to punch you.
He must think someone is backing him up.
The problem must be solved as soon as possible.
What about Awu?
Stop talking about her again!
Your Highness, why do you seem a bit distracted?
The tone you play is also different from before.
Nonsense.
Get to the point.
What happened?
The house we live in is so big, and you told me to sell all the valuable things.
But you are Lord Yuzhang now.
If generals or noblemen visit you and see nothing valuable, isn't it a bit too embarrassing?
When we fought a war, how did we scare our enemies?
By showing them those valuable things?
It's good to sell them so that we have compensation for military use.
If visitors don't want to come, let them be.
I know.
But...
But it can't be empty!
Tomorrow, fill the yard with our swords and spears.
Fill the rooms with military books and sand tables.
Anyway, decorate the house in the way you decorated our military camp.
I see.
I'll do it tomorrow.
Your Highness, one more thing.
When you were playing the song, were you thinking of the girl we saved today?
The moonlight is perfect.
If you really can't fall asleep, run around our new yard for 100 laps.
It is unnecessary.
I'm sleepy.
I'm going to sleep.
Your Grace, Prince Consort came.
You still call him Prince Consort after so many years.
He doesn't like to be called Prince Consort.
Do not call him Prince Consort.
Yes.
I remember.
Her Grace has fallen asleep.
You should also have a rest.
Everyone says I admire the study of Taoism.
But no one knows that all over the world, I don't even have a place to talk.
I can complain to no one, but a Taoist like you, who can't hear or say anything.
I regret taking the throne with the help of the Wang Family.
Now, it has become a shackle.
Everyone thinks I do not love the Crown Prince.
But he's my lineal son.
I still remember when he was born, he was so little and he smiled at me.
Actually, I know Zilong is a simple man.
He's so simple that he can't even hide a plot.
But his mother is from the Wang Family.
In the future, when I'm dead and he gets the throne, I am afraid that my family will no longer reign.
What a pity!
I had wanted to counterbalance the Wang Family by marrying Xie Wanru to Xiao Qi.
In the end, Zilong ruined my plan.
Now, I must make a prompt decision and solve the trouble once for all.
What's it?
Dizzy incense.
I have it checked.
It has a strong aphrodisiac effect.
In each dynasty, it is officially forbidden to be used in the Palace.
But imperial concubines always try to get this by all means for the sake of favor.
So, it repeatedly appears, despite prohibitions.
This is what I found in Huaguang Hall.
The Crown Prince and Xie Wanru were both poisoned by this incense.
No wonder he lost his mind.
Then, why was Xie Wanru in Huaguang Palace?
A maid took her there.
Where's the maid?
She's nowhere to be found, alive or dead.
She's gone?
Think about it.
It stopped Awu from marrying the Crown Prince, and also stopped Xie Wanru from marry Lord Yuzhang.
It killed two birds with one stone.
Zitan was assassinated.
Gu Yong was murdered and the matter happened in Huaguang Palace today.
It seems that the beneficiary is neither our family nor the Xie Family.
It's not His Majesty, either.
Well...
Ask the guards to keep investigating and make sure to find out this person.
But right now there is something more important that needs to be done immediately.
What is it?
A message came from the palace that His Majesty has decided to pick a new Crown Prince.
Soon, he will issue an imperial edict to depose Zilong.
The Crown Prince is rash.
But now, he's the foundation of our family.
Brother, it is better to discuss with the Empress for some countermeasures.
Your Majesty... Now that you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous.
Who?
It's me.
Sister-in-law.
Darling?
I just came from Awu's room.
When I was passing by, I saw the light on.
Then I came to have a look.
Xu, I didn't know you were here.
Yes.
We were talking about some political trivialities.
Well, go on.
I'm going to bed.
Darling, go to bed early.
Good day, Sister-in-law.
Brother, she didn't hear us, did she?
Are you still my sister or the wife of the Prime Minister?
Your Highness, it's too late.
Go to sleep.
You're awake, Your Grace?
Do you feel better today?
Last night, I dreamed of Zitan.
Don't laugh at me.
Your Grace, I didn't laugh at you.
I'm simply surprised that you and His Highness have mutual affinity.
What do you mean?
His Highness came last night.
Why didn't you wake me up?
His Highness didn't allow me.
He said he was afraid to disturb your rest.
He just stood outside the window and watched over you silently for so long.
If Master hadn't persuaded him to leave, he could keep watching until dawn.
Wang Lin proposed to marry Wanru to the Crown Prince to make it up for her.
I think it is feasible too.
I just feel annoyed!
I certainly understand your feelings, and will definitely find ways to compensate your family.
The Crown Prince committed such a crime, he shall... Be deposed!
Your Majesty, don't you also want to depose Zilong and make Zitan the Crown Prince?
This is an excellent opportunity!
It's very serious.
I can't take action unless I'm sure I'll win with one stroke.
I understood.
And what happened in Huaguang Hall... Don't you find it weird?
I do find it weird.
Your Majesty, you mean...?
Someone else is behind it that we don't know yet.
Find him out!
Yes.
Here comes His Majesty!
- Greetings, Father.
- Your Majesty.
Xie Wanru will be married to Zilong.
Then it's the end of the story.
But remember, this is my last chance for you.
Thanks for your grace, Father.
My Majesty, it's not grace.
You're not doing this, to defend Zilong or me, but the honor of the royal family.
Are you still not satisfied with such a decision?
Then what do you want?
Arrest Zilong for interrogation?
You finally confessed.
As Zilong's mother, you should take half of the responsibility for what he has done.
What is my fault?
Isn't it simply because I'm from the Wang Family?
Do not be angry, Father!
Do not be angry, Mother!
It's all my fault.
It's all my fault!
I'm sorry to make you angry.
I'm so sorry.
In the old days, I simply tried to protect myself with the love from my husband.
Who?
Who cut off her fantasy with coldness again and again?
I still remember what you said to me.
Why?
Why did we start to hate each other?
It's all because you are from the Wang Family, while I am the Emperor.
Awu.
Father.
Don't move.
Are you feeling better?
I have sweated, and I felt much better early this morning.
What are you doing here?
I feel disheartened.
I want to visit Wanru.
But I'm afraid I will make her sadder.
In this world, no one thinks it's a sad thing to be the Crown Princess, but my silly daughter.
What?
Wanru will be the Crown Princess?
The Crown Prince has done such a terrible thing.
How could she marry him without protest?
Xie Wanru has lost her chastity.
If she does not marry the Crown Prince, she can only become a nun.
It's not fair.
How about Lord Yuzhang?
How to explain to him?
As for Lord Yuzhang...
He saved you yesterday.
You haven't thanked him yet, have you?
I haven't.
I was dizzy at that time.
I found out later that he saved me.
You are a girl.
As your father, I'll take care of this for you.
It's cold outside.
Do not sit here for long.
I see.
I will come tomorrow.
Don't move.
See you, Father.
I beg your pardon, Father.
For what?
I was so angry that I punched the Crown Prince.
Punish me, Father.
Pretend you punched him on behalf of me.
Just get up.
I have one more request.
Unless you say yes, I will keep kneeling.
