This way please, Physician Shen.
All right.
Your Grace, Physician Shen has come.
Greetings, Your Grace.
Thanks for coming, Physician Shen.
It's my honor.
Come in please, Physician Shen.
Thank you, Your Grace.
Madam Xu, leave us alone.
Yes, Your Grace.
- Take your seat.
- Yes, Your Grace.
Your Grace, you summoned me.
Are you not feeling well?
I feel much better now.
I just want to ask you something face to face.
Feel free to ask, Your Grace.
I'll honestly answer you.
You have watched me grow up.
I didn't expect you to help the Lord lie to me.
I'm sorry, Your Grace.
But the Lord cared for you.
I didn't want you to risk your life, either.
Is there no way to cure me?
Physician Shen, how are you doing?
Thank you for the concern, Your Grace.
Here's your tea, Physician Shen.
All right.
Thank you.
Your Grace, to prolong your life, the Lord has fed you the Ice Flower.
The nature of the flower is extremely cold.
Little medicine could fight it.
Even if it is very risky, I must take the risk.
Physician Shen, if you don't agree, I will find another physician.
Even if I have to visit all physicians, I have to achieve my will.
You want to take such risk for the Lord.
I can't refuse your request.
But, Your Grace, I watched you grow up.
I have to tell you the truth.
Please tell me.
You've finally come.
I didn't want to come.
I prefer clean things and can't stand such a foul smell.
I will leave after I finish it.
Her Grace said that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager would take action and have to kill him with one stroke.
Go back and tell your master.
Try as hard as he can.
Contact me after you have a plan.
You have to think about it clearly.
When you give birth, you might...
I know.
If there's even a glimmer of hope, I won't give up.
Since you're determined, I will use all I've learned and try everything I can to seek a living chance for you.
But if the Lord finds out about it, he'll kill me.
The kindness of you likes a chance of rebirth for me.
I'll be very grateful and I will remember it.
Even if I die, I will deal with it and won't drag you down, Physician Shen.
All right, then.
I'm at your service, Your Grace.
Thank you, Physician Shen.
Then I'll wait you in the Palace, Your Grace.
Thanks, Physician Shen.
Yue, walk him out.
Yes.
Good day, Your Grace.
See you.
You're going to Palace again?
Physician Shen has an idea to exile the cold in my body.
But I have to live in the Palace for a few days for daily acupuncture.
That's great.
Not to mention a few days, it's worth even a few months.
Here you go.
See you again.
Do you have raw buns?
Yes.
Come in with me.
Come and take care of the business.
Come, please.
This way, please.
Go up, please.
Any news?
Both inside and outside the Palace, everything is ready.
It's clearly written in this sachet.
Be sure to send this to Lord Anping.
All right.
You'd better be careful with the Empress, too.
Don't worry.
I shouldn't stay long.
Use the old way to contact me.
All right.
(Zhaoyang Palace) Jing looks worse.
He doesn't look like a prince, but a sick cat.
Madam, you take the little prince to rest.
Yes.
All of you, leave us.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What's the matter, Your Majesty?
It's Lord Yuzhang, Xiao Qi.
He came to see me today and asked me for his resignation.
He wants to return to Ningshuo.
Did you agree?
Shall I behave like my father and uncle and imprison him in my palace?
Your Majesty, what's your idea?
I am thinking about it.
If I let him go back to Ningshuo, when he's as far as in the North, he may not be a threat anymore.
Your Majesty, don't be silly.
At last you're back.
Why are you still awake?
What's wrong?
I dare not sleep until you come back.
Why?
Today, a dead bird fell off the roof for no reason.
Really?
What omen is this?
It's alright.
Maybe, it was a coincidence.
I don't know why, but I can't help feeling uneasy for your going hunting.
I wasn't even so nervous when you fought on the battlefield.
Anyway, you have to be extra careful.
Don't worry.
I will.
Stop crying, Jing.
Be a good baby.
Stop crying.
What's wrong with him?
He never stops crying.
All right.
Stop crying, Jing.
Don't cry, don't cry!
You're driving me crazy!
Don't cry, will you?
Your Grace, His Majesty will stay in Consort Rong's palace and he won't come tonight.
He won't come?
All right.
He won't come.
Crying, crying, crying.
All you know is crying.
What a demon baby!
Why are you still standing here?
Get the hell out of here!
Yes.
Leave us.
Your Grace, take it easy.
Do you think I was born to owe him?
I had planned to consolidate my status with my son.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty stays farther.
As you can see, he's in love with those young girls.
All these days, he's messing around with Concubine Xin or Consort Rong.
He doesn't come to me unless he has to, not to mention spending the night here.
What am I going to do if this goes on?
Hold on a little longer, Your Grace.
Everything will be all right.
Fine.
I'll listen to you.
I'll bear with it a little longer.
I wish Jing will get better and His Majesty will come back to me.
But when will it happen?
You're back?
How was it going?
Did you see him?
I sent the messages.
The water level seems to have gone down a bit.
According to your deployment, the three levees have been repaired.
The flood of Xuanhe River has been controlled.
And in the downstream of Qihe River, Count Suyi and his men are directing people to divide the canals.
It is expected to be finished within five days.
Does Suyi Count have enough labors?
Yes.
Thanks to Miss Gu, we assembled thousands of workers.
The working tempo is much faster.
Miss Gu came again.
You go ahead and have a look.
Yes.
Thank you, Miss Gu.
Cooking wine by the lake is really interesting.
I have long heard that you like drinking.
I wonder if you like our wine.
Though the wine is light, it's sweet on the lips and impressive.
If you like it, please drink a few more cups.
It's colder in autumn, you may warm yourself with wine.
I would like to take the wine provided by you to propose a toast to you.
If we were born in the low class, maybe we could live a freer life.
The noble class has their difficulties.
So does the low class.
The family background, the circumstances, and the marriage.
We can't choose what we want.
But we can decide how to face such difficulties in our life.
I didn't expect a little girl like you to say something so sophisticated.
I've grown up.
I'm no longer a little girl.
Come on, cheers.
His Majesty approved of my resignation.
When I get back from the hunting ground, we can go back to Ningshuo.
All right.
I'll get packed these days and wait until you come back.
Once we leave, we will never return to the Capital.
Don't regret it.
Nothing in this place will make me regret.
If you follow me, you might sleep in the open field with scant food and clothes.
You think you can scare me with that?
Don't try to leave me here alone.
All right.
Then you follow me around and tour around the world.
Let's find a picturesque place to build a log cabin.
We will live a carefree life.
And a leisurely life.
- Only you and me.
- Only you and me.
What we had in the past... We will keep it all the life.
Stop it, Jingyun.
What's going on?
My Lord, Your Grace, I don't know why, but Jingyun refuses to leave Mojiao today, though it used to be the most obedient .
It's disobeying us now.
Even horses are not willing to separate, not to mention people.
Take Jingyun with us.
Yes.
Take Jingyun with us.
Then I'll leave.
You leave without hugging me?
Forget it.
You owe me once.
Come back and hug me then.
Come back soon.
Your Grace, it's late now.
Please take a rest soon after taking the medicine.
I think I made a wrong decision.
I should have gone to the hunting ground.
It's such a big thing.
His Majesty still is not yet mature.
It might be hard for him to handle.
Your Grace, don't worry.
Caring is not an advantage.
You make sense.
But I can't help feeling uneasy.
Your Grace, don't worry.
Don't you remember who came to the palace today?
You mean Awu?
Yes.
Yeah.
I nearly forgot that.
Madam Gui, go visit Awu immediately and try your best to let her stay for more days.
Before the return of His Majesty, don't let her leave.
I know, Your Grace.
Awu is always a tough girl.
If she knows her husband dies, she must take revenge with all efforts in her life.
Physician Shen, the color of Chengshan Acupoint returned to normal.
I got it.
Apply the fresh drug juice on her back.
Wash it off after 2 hours.
Add the drug bag in the bath water.
For morning and night.
Also, The acupoints for fire needles are all critical points.
It's very painful.
You have to tolerate for days.
Your Grace, you will suffer much.
Physician Shen, don't have any concern.
Just use the drug.
Why does Lord Anping want to see me in the middle of night?
For a good thing, of course.
You'll see.
Yes.
Your Grace, it's done.
I will come back later at night.
Thanks for your hard work.
Then I'll leave now.
Thanks.
Your Grace, please have your meal.
After that, you'll visit the Empress Dowager.
Not only the Empress Dowager, but the Empress as well.
And I need a little present for the Crown Prince.
Yes, Your Grace.
- Greetings, Mother.
- Greetings, Your Grace.
- Wish you great happiness, Mother.
- Wish you great happiness, Your Grace.
You may rise and take a seat.
- Thank you, Mother.
- Thank you, Your Grace.
Princess Consort Yuzhang has come.
Greetings, Your Grace.
Wish you great happiness.
You may rise and take a seat.
Somebody!
Take a seat for Princess Consort Yuzhang.
Yes.
Just sit here.
You seldom come.
You may sit closer to me.
Thank you, Your Grace.
Princess Consort Yuzhang and I have been close sisters for years.
Now it is a good chance for us to have a sweet talk.
I heard that you are going to live in Ningshuo with your husband?
Yes, I plan to do that.
Lord Yuzhang is such an outstanding hero that he can make his wife abandon her wealth and glory, the life in the Capital, the Empress Dowager, and everything of the past.
You're right, Your Grace.
Lord Yuzhang is worth my leaving everything behind.
It's been long since there were so many people in my palace last time.
We usually come and greet you in small groups.
If you like to see more, we will come together.
Her Grace is right.
It's not difficult for us to gather, but Princess Consort Yuzhang doesn't live in the Palace and she seldom comes.
None of you has lived longer in the Palace than her.
Certainly.
Yes.
Princess Consort Yuzhang grew up here.
That's right.
If she can stay a little longer this time, we can come to visit Her Grace with her.
Yes, of course.
We can also enjoy the jokes you make up.
This is no longer the palace where I grew up.
They talk, but mean harm.
Those who used to protect me have changed completely.
My aunt is no longer my aunt, but the Empress Dowager.
And Wanru is the Empress now.
Wanru, I have prepared a gift for the little prince.
May I give it to him?
Thank you, Princess Consort.
How about coming to my palace?
All right.
And I can give him a visit as well.
Come along with me.
(Zhaoyang Palace) Your Grace, you still feel sad.
In a few days, how will Awu and I end up?
Or...
I still remembered the first time I saw Awu.
She was a baby at that time.
She kept smiling when she saw me.
As soon as I held her in my arms, the naughty girl peed over me.
She grew up beside me without leaving for a second and kept asking to sleep in my bed.
I thought at that time this little girl would certainly be The Empress and my daughter-in-law.
When she's my niece and daughter-in-law, we're closer.
So I always loved her like my own daughter.
Her Grace cares for you, too.
I know.
No one in the world would stand in front of me without hesitation, when the eunuch stabbed me.
My brother cannot do that.
The late emperor cannot do that.
Even Zilong cannot do that.
But she did it.
She did it.
But she doesn't even call me Aunt now.
She keeps calling me Your Grace like a stranger.
Your Grace, maybe things will turn around.
The destination between me and Awu cannot be changed.
If she knows Zilong and I would kill her husband, she'll take revenge on me until she dies.
I will never leave such an enemy behind.
You've been resolute, Your Grace.
This is what the Empress Dowager should do.
When anything good is sent lately, deliver it to Fengchi Palace.
Under such circumstances, let me pamper her one last time as her aunt.
Yes, Your Grace.
Greetings, Your Graces.
Take your seat.
Yue, bring us the gift for little prince.
Yes.
(Longevity) May the little prince have good luck and be healthy.
Thank you, on behalf of my son.
Take it, Nichang.
Yes Wait outside.
Yes.
Since we got married, we've never met alone for even once.
I...
I missed you a lot.
Wanru, what are you doing here?
I knew you were bored, so I made you some osmanthus cakes.
How nice you are!
Fate likes to fool us.
You were the Crown Princess His Majesty and the Empress Dowager wished for while my father and the late emperor forced me to marry Lord Yuzhang.
Now our identities have been switched.
We don't have any control of it.
I do hope that nothing in the past happened.
I'm still me and you're still you.
The old me has died long ago in this palace.
This palace hindered too much love and affection.
Is the little prince crying?
Yes.
Don't know why, but he has been crying day and night ever since he was born.
All right.
All right.
Don't cry, don't cry.
Good boy, good boy.
Good boy.
Don't cry.
Greetings, Your Graces.
What's wrong with the little prince?
The little prince is weak.
He cries all day long since his birth.
imperial Physicians checked on him, but they all said nothing was wrong.
Maybe in a while, he will not cry like this.
May I hold him for a while?
All right.
Your Grace, I'm going to get the clothes for little prince.
Go ahead.
Yes.
Don't know why, but his crying gives me a real headache.
I just hope when he grows, everything will be all right.
It seems that he likes you.
Lying in your arms, he sleeps so quietly.
Your Grace.
The Empress Dowager summoned me again.
Then allow me to leave now.
Jing seldom sleeps so soundly.
Just stay with him a little longer.
But you're gone, except me.
Isn't it inappropriate?
Awu, I'll be right back.
Awu.
