Do you think she will offend us for a spy like you?

Listen to me carefully, Su Jin'er.

From this day on, if anything happens in Lord Yuzhang's Mansion, you must report to me as quickly as possible.

Send the message here.

Whatever I ask you to do, do it submissively.

Otherwise, not only will your master be unhappy if your identity is exposed, I won't let you live wherever you are.

Your Highness, I have confirmed that the maid of Princess Consort Yuzhang is the spy the Empress mentioned, Su Jin'er.

I have made contact with her.

What about her?

She is just an inexperienced girl.

I just scared her.

And she became honest and obedient.

Even if we cooperate with the Empress, we should try to make sure everything is under our control.

Your Highness, do not worry.

It's just a woman.

I will not...

Remember.

Never underestimate a woman.

Got it.

I am leaving.

Jin'er in a day or two, you and Pang Gui need to go out with me again and meet Helan Zhen.

Jin'er?

You've been in a trance all the time.

You didn't even hear me.

What did you say, Your Grace?

I said you need accompany me to see Helan Zhen again.

Helan Zhen?

What's wrong with you?

Your Grace, I am afraid.

Of what?

I am afraid...

I just thought those Hulan people took you away right in front of me so that we suffered.

Right.

You witnessed the incident in Huizhou.

You must have been scared.

Your Grace, can we not go to see those Hulan people?

I really don't want to see them.

I know.

But, only you can accompany me on this.

Madam Xu always thinks too much.

If she's with me, I'm afraid there will be other trouble.

Neither Yuxiu nor Yue knows about it.

So...

I can just rely on you.

I understand.

Girls in your country are so sweet.

What?

You want others to know you are the spy the Empress placed at Lord Yuzhang's Mansion?

I like girls like you who look tame but have naughty mind.

Son.

Mother?

Why did you come?

I am here to see you.

I had not expected after you ascended the throne, you worked so hard on state affairs, instead of being impatient as the Crown Prince.

I'm so pleased.

Thanks, Mother.

I saw you frown and sigh.

What's bothering you?

The North has just signed a covenant with Hulan.

There is no worry about war.

But in the south...

There's a flood in the south.

I really feel annoyed.

That is the reason why I'm here.

Mother, do you have a way out?

I want you to appoint two people to handle the flood control in Jiangnan.

Mother, you mean...?

Wang Su and Song Huai'en, the general under Lord Yuzhang.

Mother!

Flood control is the top priority and major event of a country.

It isn't child's play.

I don't mean to reject you, but they two.

One is a humble general.

The other is a playboy.

They never did the flood control.

They do not have any experience.

How can they take such an important mission?

What's more... Wang Su is my uncle's son.

Awu is also your uncle's daughter.

In your heart, have you ever disliked her?

Awu is different.

Speaking of this, she's different now, because she is not only your uncle's daughter, but also the wife of Lord Yuzhang.

Imperial Physician, how's my baby?

Your Grace, I can see that some of your pulses are dull and some are weak.

I suggest you should relieve yourself and take more rest before you give birth.

So, you mean my child will have a deficiency?

In my opinion, there is such a possibility indeed.

But don't worry, Your Grace.

It is still in embryonic period.

I'll prescribe some medicine.

and you can take it on time every day.

What matters is that you must not worry too much.

Otherwise, the little prince would be very weak.

All right.

I will follow your instructions.

In any case, you must be sure to keep my child safe.

I will do my best.

Thank you very much.

I am leaving, Your Grace.

Mother!

You always feel that I take side to my family.

But don't forget who made use of Lord Yuzhang to wipe out your uncle personally?

You did.

So you should understand I'm doing everything simply for your reign.

Tell me.

What is the most urgent thing now?

War and flood.

Wrong.

It is Lord Yuzhang.

The world has just settled down and we can't do without Lord Yuzhang.

Nobody is indispensable, but the Emperor.

Son, you have to understand.

Your uncle failed to defeat Lord Yuzhang even with his accumulated forces over years.

Now, Lord Yuzhang doesn't have much power in the Capital now.

If we let him develop, over time, there will be endless trouble.

Mother, you mean...?

In today's morning court, Prime Minister Wen proposed disarmament?

That's right.

Many courtiers agreed.

That is exactly what I mean.

Mother!

Lord Yuzhang promoted many humble generals.

If we still don't suppress him, I'm afraid something's going to change.

So, I asked you to send Song Huai'en and Wang Su for flood control.

And then we can find a chance to kill Lord Yuzhang with one stroke.

This is your top priority in consolidating your political power.

Kill...

Kill Lord Yuzhang?

What about Awu?

I know what to do now.

My Lord, during your absence today, Miss Qian and Lady Xue moved in the mansion.

My wife needs to know, instead of me.

How is she doing today?

Everything is as usual.

But... What's the matter?

Today, the General of Hulan...

It was the one who presented Her Grace the treasure of Hulan.

Her asked to see Her Grace again.

All right.

I see.

My Lord, now that Miss Qian and Lady Xue came, where will you have dinner today?

Ask Her Grace.

As she wishes.

Yes, My Lord.

Please get Lady Xue and Miss Qian to dinner.

Got it.

My Lady, you're invited to dinner.

Is the Lord there?

For your information, the Lord has returned.

Got it.

Qian and I will arrive later.

Yes, My Lady.

Mother.

Qian.

Mother, pick a dress for me.

After crying all these days, I'm so ugly.

Qian, you look just good.

Don't do makeup.

Why?

Didn't you ask me to attract Lord Yuzhang's attention as much as I can?

You know how beautiful Wang Xuan is.

Without the makeup, how could Lord Yuzhang even notice me?

Who told you to compare with Wang Xuan in appearance?

Qian, you are still young and don't know what man thinks of.

Military commanders like Lord Yuzhang have the most pity for the delicate beauty.

Over dinner, you must remember to show your weakness.

Got it.

Let's go, then.

Aunt and Qian came to visit us, and they may stay for a few days.

My Lord, thank you for hospitality.

Sorry to bring you the trouble.

Aunt, don't be a stranger.

We are all families.

You're welcome.

Today, the Empress Dowager summoned me, saying she wanted Huai'en to go with your brother and do the flood control in Jiangnan.

My brother has learnt much about flood control.

It is such a good opportunity now.

It's really a good thing.

You love each other.

How I envy you!

Qian, enjoy the meal.

My Lord, General Hu and General Song have arrived.

Why are they here so early?

Excuse me.

My Lord, you're leaving?

Enjoy it without me.

Let's enjoy the meal.

I'm used to it.

My Lord!

What exactly does the authority mean?

To kick down the ladder?

Yes, My Lord.

What do they want to do?

Without you or Ningshuo Army who would guard 100 miles north of Shuohe River?

The greater credits we own, the more eager they want to get rid of us.

Honestly, they look down on us!

Without us who guard the border, how could they live such a good life in the Capital?

My Lord, say something!

We have the support from hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

I don't believe they can bully us like this.

What if this is what His Majesty wants?

My Lord, what should we do?

We can't let them control or suppress us.

Today, the Empress Dowager summoned me, and told me one thing.

Is it about cutting your military power?

It is irrelevant to military power.

But it's about you.

Me?

That's right.

Mother, looks like they love each other.

I can hardly make it.

After the conferring decree is issued in a few days, it will be too late.

Indeed.

I'm anxious, too.

I must find a chance to let you stay alone with Lord Yuzhang.

In two days, at most.

Her Grace wants you to handle the flood control together with Wang Su.

Her Grace's elder brother?

But he's a mere playboy.

How can he afford the responsibility of flood control?

My Lord, what's the Empress Dowager up to?

Although Wang Lin failed in rebellion, Her Grace is still from the Wang Family.

She can't just watch her family decline like that.

But Wang Su is the son of the former Prime Minister.

Isn't Her Grace worried about it?

Wang Su is a playboy and never asks about politics.

At least for now, there is no need to worry about him.

Let's not discuss it for now and see if they have any other tricks.

My Lord, do you think I should go?

Flooding in Jiangnan is a great disaster for the country.

People have lost their homes and they're in great misery.

I thought that Wang Su was just a playboy until I read his Flood Control Booklet.

It's a voluminous state and by no means boastful.

Maybe he can really make a difference.

It will also be a blessing to people.

But... Huai'en, when you're there, in addition to floods, refugees and plagues, you have to be especially careful against ill-intentioned people.

I remember.

What about the wedding between Huai'en and Yuxiu?

Why bother to ask?

Choose an auspicious day for it.

We can't let Huai'en go without getting married, can we?

That's it.

Before you go, we will hold the wedding for you and Yuxiu.

By then, let's get hammered.

All right.

You are going to marry a general.

In the future, you should not trim my nails again.

Just because I am getting married, I'll have fewer chances to serve you and I just want to serve you for a few more days.

Why do I feel that you smile less after you're engaged to General Song?

Your Grace, to be honest, I'm a mere maid.

You helped me realize my dream by giving me a status as good as for General Song.

But I always feel that none of this belongs to me.

So there is some hesitation in my heart.

You are a silly girl.

Why do you think so much?

If General Song dislikes you, why did he ask me for you?

Besides, he is also from the low class.

Why should you humiliate yourself?

But, he never said he liked me, too.

Most men do like that.

They do more and talk less.

Your Grace, you are right.

I understand now.

My Lord.

What's the matter, My Lord?

In a few days, we will be a family.

Stop calling me My Lord.

Thank you.

Good girl.

Huai'en is lucky to have you.

In a few days, he will go to Jiangnan with Lord Jiangxia for the flood control.

I want you to get married as soon as possible.

Everybody says that floods in Jiangnan lead to frequent plagues, then General Song... Don't worry about it.

Huai'en fought wars with me for many years.

He is like a tiger who can fight bravely for success.

He will be fine.

I just want to watch you get married soon and have a healthy baby early.. My Lord.

I got it.

All right.

You may leave.

Congratulations.

You, too.

You, too.

Go tell Her Grace.

Yes.

This way please.

Come in, please.

Your Grace, it has been a few days that you eat so little at each meal.

Your Grace, I heard that Miss Qian was crying again like being half-dead.

Her Grace has already asked His Majesty for this.

There will be results.

His Majesty can't help.

I'm still trying to figure it out.

Your Grace.

Your Grace, the Steward had it reported that an eunuch came from the Palace to declare a decree.

Declare a decree?

Exactly.

Your Grace, it's for conferring Miss Qian.

How can it be so fast?

Come here.

What's the noise out there?

For your information, it's the imperial edict from the Palace.

- Imperial edict?

- My Lady.

Bad news, My Lady!

Bad news, My Lady!

My Lady.

What's going on?

Go and see Miss Qian.

She's gone!

Gone?

Come on.

Qian?

Qian!

Qian!

Qian?

She was here just now I don't know.

Qian!

Qian!

Qian!

Qian!

Qian!

Qian!

Qian!

Mo...

Mother, are they... are they here to get me?

They're not here to get you.

No.

No.

Mother, you lied to me.

I did not.

I will not go anywhere.

I'll only stay with you.

You'll only stay with me.

Greetings, Your Grace.

Don't bother.

Your Grace, I came with a mission.

Can you tell me who Miss Yuxiu is?

I am.

Lady, here's the edict for you.

Imperial edict, given that Shen Yuxiu risked her life to save her master in danger, she was proved a loyal maid.

Lord Yuzhang felt grateful to her.

Hereby his request is approved to take her as a foster sister with the name of Xiao Yuxiu.

She's married to General Song Huai'en, with an imperial mandate.

The wedding will be held in ten days.

I'll cherish the edict and obey the will of His Majesty.

Congratulations, Miss Yuxiu.

Wish you and General Song live a happy life and have babies soon.

The wedding crown, the jewels, silks and brocades, awarded by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty are sent here together.

I am leaving.

Wait.

Steward Liu.

Here.

Get some luck money and give it to whoever brought this here.

Yes, Your Grace.

Thank you, Your Grace.

I'm leaving.

Congratulations, Yuxiu.

Now you're Miss Yuxiu.

You'll be the general's wife in ten days.

You made a great leap and will always be rich and noble.

You're destined to be wealthy and noble.

Thank you, Your Grace.

Your great kindness will always be kept in my heart.

Get up quickly.

Silly girl.

Why are you crying for such a big happy event?

I am really happy for you.

But, from now on, we're no longer master and maid.

However, we are always like sisters.

I will prepare a big gift for you and let you get married in a grand way.

Awu.

I don't want to leave you.

I will always be your maid.

You make me cry.

My good girl, you are always in my heart.

I came all the way to meet you here secretly.

I had thought you would look forward to this alliance as much as I do.

But now I realize it's only my wishful thinking.

You're merely a powerless lord who came back to the Capital undercover.

How dare you have a bad attitude!

Shut up!

This is Cheng's territory.

If you disrespect Lord Anping again, don't blame me for being rude!

Forget it.

Prince Zhen, you may leave.

Sorry about it, but I don't think I'll cooperate with you this time.

You came back secretly from the Imperial Mausoleu I don't think this is what you try to tell me.

We're ready to take action, but you want to flee on the eve of a battle.

You should give me a reason.

I thought I could do it.

I didn't realize until I saw you that I really can't join hands with a man who hurt Awu.

Interesting.

So you do this for her?

It's a bit weird.

It's usually a few months before the wedding after His Majesty confers someone and gets her engaged.

What's the hurry this time?

The wedding in ten days?

Probably His Majesty and Her Grace know Yuxiu has strong feelings for General Song and don't want her to wait.

Yue, do not talk nonsense!

She made sense.

Maybe His Majesty and Her Grace consider for General Song, and let you get married in advance.

The Lord told me that in half a month, my brother and General Song are going to Jiangnan for flood control.

Your Grace, you mean your brother is going for flood control?

Indeed.

He can't go!

Your Grace, Floods in Jiangnan usually lead to plagues.

Once infected, there's no cure.

People infected will die.

Your Grace, you must find a way to stop him!

There must be dangers.

But, I won't stop him.

Your Grace, your mother asked me many times to take good care of you two.

Your brother has never suffered bitterness.

If anything bad happens to him there, how should I face your mother?

Madam Xu, don't worry.

Come with me.

I have long heard that you and Princess Consort Yuzhang were childhood sweethearts.

Now it seems that's true.

She's really lucky.

Lord Yuzhang protects her at home while you defend her from afar, by canceling the profitable cooperation with me for her.

Should I praise you for being infatuated or praise her for being susceptible?

How dare you!

Take it easy.

Your Highness, can you calm down and let me finish?

If I'm finished and you still can't change your mind, I'll say no more and leave at once, pretending I'm here for afternoon tea only.

With all due respect, I'd like to say something.

If at this moment, you took charge of your country, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to take back your beloved girl?

You mentioned that I once hurt Princess Consort Yuzhang.

Not exactly.

To be frank with you, in my eyes, she's an extraordinary girl.

I can't bear to hurt her.

Do you mean you have wild desires for her?

You're overthinking.

That is great.

Now that I choose to work with you, I know how far to go.

You don't need to worry about this.

I still have one question.

Please answer me.

Feel free to ask.

Like you said, I am no longer the Third Prince the late emperor loved most.

I'm so poor that I can't even stay in the Capital.

What can I help you under such circumstances?

To get rid of Lord Yuzhang, we'll certainly do with Princess Consort Yuzhang.

You know her best, don't you?

In order to kill Lord Yuzhang, you're making a lot of efforts.

That's true.

I won't stop until he dies.

Madam Xu, do you remember what this is?

Of course I do.

It's the Flood Control Booklet your brother made.

A few years ago, he made an inspection tour to Jiangnan with your uncle He couldn't bear to see the people become homeless.

After returning, he consulted large amounts of information, and did some surveys.

He made every effort to make the booklet and reported it to the court.

But Master thought it was useless.

He tore it up and threw it on the floor.

My brother locked himself in his room and didn't come out for three days and nights.

In the eyes of everyone and even our parents, he spends a lot of money all day and makes no attempt to make progress.

But I do know that he has his own ambition.

He just has no chance to use his talent.

I kept these treasures all the time.

They're finally going to come in handy.

I'll try my best to help you kill Lord Yuzhang.

Good.

But you're only half right.

I'll kill him, but not in an easy way.

What does that mean?

How easy it is to kill him!

It's just a painful moment.

I hate him for killing my mother and cutting my arm.

How could I let him die hastily?

God of War...

Even if he is the true God, I will also let him unload all his glory and watch everything he cherishes most disappear in front of his eyes.

And I will make him die in humiliation.

Don't forget your promise.

You won't hurt Wang Xuan!

Sure.

What you wants is exactly what I'm planning.

Think about it.

When we let Lord Yuzhang watch his most beloved woman get back to you, he will feel a great shame.

He probably won't even die in peace.

In addition to Xiao Qi's life, I want one more thing.

You have to help me, too.

What do you mean?

The throne!

I am just indignant.

She's a humble maid, but she has received the imperial edict and changed her life totally.

Greetings, Your Grace.

You may stand up.

How's it going with Lady Xue and Qian?

For your information, when Miss Qian heard someone came from the Palace, she cried again.

Lady Xue is persuading her inside.

Greetings, Your Grace.

You may stand up.

How's Qian?

She was frightened.

When I came back, she was shrinking by the window and crying bitterly.

When she saw me, she said, "Mother, someone is coming from the Palace and sending me to Hulan".

My heart was broken.

I would rather bear it for her.

You come to see us every day.

Thank you for your concern.

Greetings, Your Grace.

Qian!

Qian?

Awu, I don't want to go to Hulan.

I know you're upset.

Awu, can you save me?

Save me, please.

Qian, I've been trying to find a way.

You give me a little more time.

I'm trying the best.
