He is so poor that he can't even stay in the Capital.

What's his use?

What's more, you contacted him through Xie's secret emissary.

But we have already had a secret agreement with Cheng's Empress.

She is from the Xie Family, too.

If Lord Anping really becomes the Emperor, the Empress will become a widow.

Can she agree?

Xie's secret emissary made it clear that he is not loyal to the Xie Family or the Empress, but Lord Anping of the royal family.

In this case, how would he let the Empress know that?

Then... Who are we going to cooperate with?

Both of them.

And... neither of them.

What...

Send a message to Princess Consort Yuzhang.

I'll meet her at the Deer Park in southern suburbs in three days.

Yes.

(Lord Yuzhang's Mansion) You again?

What?

You don't welcome me?

Our prince is your distinguished guest.

The cousin of Princess Consort Yuzhang will marry Prince Tuo.

They will be distant relatives anyway.

Cut the crap.

What's the matter?

Tell your Princess Consort.

The Deer Park in southern suburbs.

At nine the day after tomorrow.

Go.

What exactly do you mean by that?

Tell her word for word.

The Deer Park in southern suburbs?

They are really pitiful.

I finally understand why you try to help them.

No matter what Helan Zhen wants, there should be results in a few days.

I hope it's good news for Qian.

Your Grace.

Your Grace, a moment please.

Your Grace.

Steward Liu.

What happened?

Why are you in hurry?

Just now, Hulan's...

The general of Hulan came again.

He let me pass you a word.

What is it?

At nine the day after tomorrow.

The Deer Park in southern suburbs.

Assassin!

Assassin!

Somebody!

Don't kill me.

Don't kill me!

Help!

Stay back.

Stay back!

Assassin!

Somebody!

- Are you having a nightmare again?

- Assassins!

Assassins!

- Somebody!

- What's going on?

- Assassin!

- Wanru!

- Let go of me!

- You got a good look.

It's me.

It's me.

I'm here.

Somebody!

Hurry up!

I had that dream again.

Someone is trying to hurt my child.

I'm here.

Calm down.

Why are you kneeling here?

Go get Imperial Physician!

Go!

Yes.

It's alright.

It's alright.

It's alright, darling.

It's alright.

It's alright.

Come on, Physician.

Check on her.

Give it to me.

Wanru.

Your Majesty.

I'm here.

Will our child be all right?

Of course.

I just dreamed that someone stabbed me in the abdomen and I suddenly had abdominal pain.

Someone must be trying to hurt me and our child!

Your Majesty, you must take good care of me and our child.

This is our son.

He will have good luck.

Why isn't she suddenly like this?

Was she poisoned?

Your Majesty, Her Grace has no symptoms of poisoning.

We took the pulse for her.

There's internal heat, and expansion of pulse channel.

Heat and blood inside her are abundant.

Therefore, her pulse fluctuates greatly.

There is a sign of habitual abortion.

Her fetal condition was unstable before.

After she was frightened in her dream, the evil spirits was born inside her.

We applied acupuncture for pacification.

Now the baby is safe and sound.

But from now on, Her Grace needs to have a good rest and never get worried.

That's fine.

Fine.

Did you hear him?

You're alright.

You can go back now.

Thank you, Physicians.

I am leaving, Your Majesty.

I am leaving, Your Majesty.

Come on.

Get up, Wanru.

I'll feed you some soup.

(Taiji Hall) Today, I have two great things to announce.

Wang Su of the Wang Family, come and get the edict for you.

Yes, Your Majesty.

General Song Huai'en, come to get the edict for you.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Wang Su, you're a great talent, one of a kind.

From this day on, you're the leader of the Wang Family, conferred as Lord Jiangxia and awarded with Lord Jiangxia's Mansion.

Song Huai'en, you have outstanding exploits.

You're now Count Suyi and Right General, awarded with the land of 20 miles and Count Suyi's Mansion.

- Thank you, - Thank you, - Your Majesty.

- Your Majesty.

You may rise.

By the way, This is not only the great joy for you, but also for Lord Yuzhang.

One is his wife's brother and the other is his brother-in-law.

Xiao Xi, is that right?

This is the pleasure of mine, and also the joy for Your Majesty, the court, and the country.

Good point.

Good point.

I have one thing to announce today.

If it can be achieved, it must be a blessing to me and the people in Jiangnan.

The floods in Jiangnan have disturbed us for many years.

Millions of people are displaced.

The plagues often rise and starving people fill the land.

This time, I decided to cure the problem from the source.

I will allocate five million taels of gold for disaster relief and flood control.

Five million?

Now the Exchequer can't make ends meet.

Where can we get so much money?

To eliminate the flood?

Floods in Jiangnan have plagued people for hundreds of years.

Many water conservancy experts can't help.

Can it be so easy?

In the end, it's just unsettled.

The Empress Dowager and Lord Yuzhang have jointly recommended the candidates.

I'll assign Lord Jiangxia Wang Su Count Suyi Song Huai'en to Jiangnan for flood control.

Wang Su will also serve as the Director of the Grand Canal, Investigating Censor, with the minister rank.

Song Huai'en will serve as the deputy director and Investigating Censor.

Do you have the confidence to be competent?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I will set my mind to share worries for Your Majesty.

Lord Jiangxia.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Do you have the confidence to eliminate floods in Jiangnan?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Good!

Your Grace, His Majesty sent a report that the Empress was frightened last night and does not feel well.

Maybe, she can't come and greet you lately.

What trick does this woman play again?

Demonstrate to me with her baby No one knows if it's a boy or a girl.

If she has a son, so what?

I will never let anyone of the Xie Family be the Crown Prince.

But in my opinion, His Majesty attaches great importance to this child.

Anyway, this is his first child.

So what?

The Emperor is my son.

He shall never disobey me.

The Xie Family wants a comeback?

In their dreams!

Noble Consort Xie couldn't do it.

Now her niece is lucky to be the Empress.

But she can't do it, either.

I just inquired about it.

I heard that many imperial physicians were called hastily to Zhaoyang Hall last night.

It is better for an abortion.

That will save me the trouble.

Your Grace, madam has just told me what you dreamed last night.

What about it?

As you said, it implies an inauspicious sign.

Is there any way to break it?

I...

I...

Forget it.

Madam.

Yes.

See him out.

Yes.

Your Grace, it's time to take medicine.

It implies an inauspicious sign?

Xiao Qi?

That's him!

- It must be him!

- Your Grace!

I don't think you should worry too much.

Think about it.

What if the Taoist simply made it up?

But you might get sick.

No.

Madam said he was always very accurate in interpreting dreams.

What's more, I would rather believe it.

I will never let anyone hurt my unborn son.

He is not only my child, but also the hope of the Xie Family.

Whoever he is, I won't allow him!

Master, Master, someone asked to see you.

Didn't I tell you I wanted to be alone?

It's Princess Consort Yuzhang's maid, for something important.

Awu?

What's wrong?

My Lord, Her Grace asked to meet you at Ci'an Temple tomorrow.

I get it.

Yue.

Yes.

Your Grace.

Yuxiu?

You should have a good rest.

She... She is born to work hard.

She can't be idle for even a single day.

Where's Jin'er?

She is ill. What?

Has any Imperial Physician come?

Yeah.

The Physician said it wasn't serious and she would be better after taking some medicine.

It's freezing cold.

Tell the cooks to make nutritious dishes and send more charcoals to her.

Yes, Your Grace.

All servants say that you're the best master.

Yuxiu is right.

Yue is always honey-lipped.

After Yuxiu gets married, your accompany will make me feel less lonely.

Jin'er.

Jin'er.

What are you doing here?

Her Grace heard that you had a cold and specially ordered us to bring you tonics for dispelling cold and keeping warm.

These are the best.

After you eat it, you will get better soon.

Put it here.

Her Grace said she would come to see you soon.

Thank her for me and ask her not to worry.

It's just a minor illness.

I will be all right in a couple of days.

We are leaving, then.

Take the medicine quickly.

Aren't you the maid of Princess Consort Yuzhang?

Since you work for the Empress, don't pretend you're a chaste girl.

I always get whoever I want.

That man is the devil!

I don't want to see him!

I don't want to see that devil!

Is there anything?

My Lord.

My Lord, there's something related to Her Grace and the Hulan envoy.

I thought for a long time and dared not hide it from you.

Say it.

(Faith brings hope.)

Madam Xu, I'm wondering whether Buddha could hear prayers when people burn incense and worship.

Even if he can, will he realize the prayers?

My answer is yes.

Otherwise, why would people keep going to temples?

On my last birthday, all my family got a reunion.

I made a wish at Ci'an Temple that everything would be smooth.

But in a few days...

Your Grace, thousands of people worship Buddha, but he only has a pair of ears.

He had to ignore some.

But a sincere heart can work wonders.

Just pray sincerely and you'll be heard.

This time, I think Su will be blessed for his safe trip.

At nine the day after tomorrow.

The Deer Park in southern suburbs?

My Lord, I think it's important and really dare not hide it.

But I also don't want you to argue for this.

I see.

You may leave.

Yes.

I should have told him.

I shouldn't have, either.

Qian.

Qian.

Qian.

Mother?

Here comes the opportunity.

Opportunity?

Lord Yuzhang is home?

I just saw him going to Wang Xuan's room angrily.

Since he's heading for her, what opportunity do I have?

Think about it.

He stormed off there.

Then he won't spend the night with her.

If Mother were here, she'd say the same.

Your Grace, the other day, I also dreamed of your mother.

She asked me to take good care of you.

My Lord!

You're back?

Madam Xu, I have something to say to her.

I... What's wrong?

Madam Xu, leave us.

Yes.

What happened?

Do you have anything to tell me?

Awu, is there anything you want to say to me?

I don't know what you mean.

The Deer Park.

At nine the day after tomorrow.

Still don't know?

You spied on me?

I didn't.

Then how did you know?

Why will you meet Helan Zhen behind my back?

Right.

He is in the Capital and he must be restrained.

But don't you know who he is?

I'll meet him for Qian.

Qian?

His Majesty promised me.

As long as Helan Zhen changes his mind, Qian won't have to go to Hulan.

Then will you do anything, just to save her?

You don't trust me?

This has nothing to do with trust.

You have no attachments since childhood and have been alone.

But I'm not.

I am a member of the Wang Family.

Do you understand the meaning of family?

All right.

Wish you could get what you want.

I'm freezing to death.

Is he coming or not?

Brother-in-law.

Qian.

What are you doing here?

I thought that I would be married to Hulan and the future was uncertain.

I was very scared and I took a walk out here.

Brother-in-law, I want a talk with you.

After I get married, I'll never see you again.

Brother-in-law, can you accompany me?

I am really scared.

I am so cold.

Brother...

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Has the tonic ever helped?

Your Grace, please calm down.

You're very likely to expect a son.

He'll be the future Emperor.

A mere Lord Yuzhang cannot hurt him.

What's wrong with him?

I'm so pissed!

I'm so pissed!

I'm so pissed!

I'm so pissed!

Qian.

- It's your fault.

- You're back?

- What's the bad idea?

- How was it going?

The freezing cold wind is biting.

I waited by the garden for an hour.

When I finally saw him, he didn't even look at me.

What a shame!

Did he stay away from you, because you would be married?

In Langya, those scions were all around me.

Lord Yuzhang is not blind.

Why is he so cold to me?

All right.

All right.

I know that you have been wronged.

He has only been married with Wang Xuan for two years.

They still have deep affection.

In a few years, when Wang Xuan is no longer beautiful, she will definitely be left out, too.

As long as you marry him, and have babies, you will make him love you.

Madam.

Here.

Tell me.

Are Princess Consort Yuzhang and I born to restrain each other?

I only know that you are the Empress of Cheng, the most noble woman in the world.

There is no other woman who can compare with you.

Something happened so long ago that I nearly forgot.

Speaking of it, Princess Consort Yuzhang used to be my best girlfriend.. Back then, I called her Awu.

She called me... Wanru, on the day I get married, you must come and see me off.

I'm from the Xie Family.

I should come with Zitan to get you.

I don't care.

I think of you as my own family.

If Zitan bullies me, you can't stand up for him.

Look at you.

Sounds as if you wish you were married now.

Don't you feel shy?

No.

Don't you feel shy?

No.

Don't you feel shy?

- No.

- Don't you?

Every time I came to the Palace, she always liked to follow me and kept calling me Wanru.

She was close to Zitan as childhood sweethearts.

She even asked the late emperor to allow her to choose her own husband.

I used to think she would be Zitan's wife.

And I will marry a young man of a noble clan.

Maybe in that way, I could still be her best friend, instead of a life-and-death enemy.

When I think of it now, it's like ages have been passed.

Your Grace, don't be sad.

I have witnessed many similar things.

She's from the Wang Family while I'm from the Xie Family.

We are destined to be at loggerheads.

If I am soft-hearted, or care for old feelings, I'll end up in the way my aunt did.

Your Grace, you're not your aunt.

You are the hope of the Xie Family.

Right.

I am the only hope of the Xie Family.

For the Xie Family and for my unborn son, I must never have petty kindness.

Awu, is there anything you want to say to me?

The Deer Park.

At nine after tomorrow.

Do you still not know?

Why will meet Helan Zhen behind my back?

All right.

Wish you could get what you want.

Xiao Qi, how can I make you understand?

I'm not only your wife, but also a girl from the Wang Family.

Qian is my cousin.

I can't stand by and watch.

But you can rest assured.

I would never do anything to hurt you.

I'm going to Ci'an Temple to pray for my brother.

I'll have lunch there.

Yes, Your Grace.

Go.

Stay safe.

Yes!

Let's go.

Your Grace, Madam Xu, do you think Steward Liu was a bit weird today?

He has done a bad thing.

So he cannot be at ease.

Steward Liu is always loyal.

What bad thing could he do?

He told the Lord Her Grace would meet Prince Zhen.

He did that?

So the Lord did not spy on me.

What do we do now?

Now that the Lord has known about it, he will not let it go Your Grace, in my opinion, you should just stay out of this.

Since I want to help, how can I give up halfway?

We cannot be led by Helan Zhen on this matter.

Do not worry, Madam Xu.

I have my own plans.

Yes,.

Your Grace, you look assured.

Not really.

It's just a gamble.

The result depends.

Greetings, Your Grace.

You don't have to, Abbess.

Lord Jiangxia has been waiting for a long time inside.

Come, please.

- Awu.

- Brother.

Don't move.

Let me look at you carefully.

Why have you lost weight again?

Did Xiao Qi bully you?

Tell me.

I will stand for you.

Can't you ever say something nice about Xiao Qi?

You can't stand it when I just say one thing?

You heartless girl.

When I go to Jiangnan, you can't find me even if you want to.

Come on.

I can find you wherever you go.

Don't you believe it?

Please take a break before you come in and pray for your mother.

At your command, Abbess.

I'll go get everything prepared and Madam Xu will go with me.

As you wish, Abbess.

Come on.

What a surprise!

It looks the same as it was when Mother lived here.

Indeed.

Abbess Guangci is kind and she cleans the room every day so that it won't be dusty.

Have a seat.

Brother, I have something to show you.

What is it?

Do you remember this?

Brother, you shouldn't have thrown it.

I have glued it for you.

I believe that you can make it one day.

How can I forget?

I spent three years making it by myself.

I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful and have kept it for me.

I always remembers flood control is your preoccupation.

Circumstances are different.

I am no longer the ambitious young man.

What do you mean?

Do you want His Majesty to withdraw his edict?
