Do you still have any place to run to?
Helan Zhen.
Helan Zhen!
Why is it you again?
What do you want?
Take you to Hulan.
Where are my people?
You should care about yourself first.
Where are Pang Gui and Su Jin'er?
Pang Gui is dead.
As for Su Jin'er, don't worry about her.
Think about what happened before you were in a coma that made you wake up in my carriage.
Your Grace, you must be thirsty.
Drink some water.
That's right.
Your maid Su Jin'er handed you to me.
She has betrayed you for a long time.
This kind of disloyal person will bring endless trouble if you keep her.
Why haven't you noticed it?
You set up a trap to use her?
Then you just misunderstood me.
I did it to save you.
Take a look at this for yourself.
The wanted orders for you are plastered all over Cheng's gates and streets.
I had no choice but to make such a move.
Now you can't go anywhere.
Only Hulan is the safest place.
Go with me.
I will protect you.
(Wanted) Stop the carriage.
Stop!
Your Highness, what is the command?
Don't rush into the town.
Yes.
Stand by!
Lingchun.
Here I am.
After entering into the town, find a doctor to treat the girl.
Yes, Your Highness.
The accompanying military doctor has treated her briefly.
I really don't understand why Princess Consort Yuzhang took the little prince away?
It's so clear.
She is taking the little prince hostage.
We all know Princess Consort Yuzhang.
How could she be treasonable?
Her father rebelled.
Now, her husband rebelled, too.
How can she be left alone?
All right.
All right.
Everybody, now that His Majesty is dead and the little prince is missing, shall we first figure out what to do with the vacant throne?
Of course, to find the little prince quickly.
We have sent so many people, but so far, we have not found the whereabouts of the Princess Consort Yuzhang and the little prince.
Then... Then send more people to continue searching and find the little prince, no matter what!
It's not a piece of cake!
Prime Minister Wen, you are the leader of the officials.
Say something.
We can wait.
But can state affairs wait?
Can those lords wait when they covet the throne?
A country cannot be without an emperor.
You mean...?
Choose another emperor.
Lord Anping?
In such a situation, this seems to be the only way out.
But he still has the blood of the Xie Family.
Secretary Gu, speak carefully!
Wang Lin and Xie Yuan are dead!
Look at the court.
There's no Wang or Xie Family!
Report!
What's the matter?
Report from the Capital Defenders.
Without an edict, Lord Anping has returned to the Capital from the Imperial Mausoleum.
It's God's will.
It's God's will!
Madam Gui.
Here.
How is Her Grace?
Much better.
Madam Gui, after the medicine is decocted, feed it to Her Grace.
Yes.
I'll come tomorrow.
Thanks, Physician Shen.
Your Grace, the medicine is ready.
Serve it.
Yes.
Your Grace, take the medicine.
Come on.
Slow down, slow down, slow down.
Your Grace, take it.
Your Grace.
Where is my grandson?
Many people have been sent to look for him.
Take the medicine.
When you get better, there is hope for everything.
Come on.
Lord Anping, welcome back to the Palace.
Lord Anping, welcome back to the Palace.
The Crown Prince, welcome back!
The Crown Prince, welcome back!
Yuanxiao.
Water.
Water.
I want water.
Water.
Water.
I want water.
Zilong!
Son, my son!
Slow down, drink slowly.
Zi... Zitan?
Zitan?
Zitan, Zitan!
Are you wondering why I am here?
Somebody!
Some... some...
Your son is dead and your only grandson is now missing.
I'm the only surviving son of Father.
When I'm back to the Capital, I'll naturally inherit the throne.
After the memorial ceremony of the late emperor, I will be enthroned.
This great country will naturally be mine.
Somebody!
Somebody!
Your Grace, over the years, you first poisoned my father, shifted the blame to my mother, and frame the Xie Family up.
Then you used every means to break Awu and me up.
In the end, you killed my father and your brother, to make your son the Emperor.
Are you satisfied with how you end up now?
I used to wonder the fate was unfair.
Why?
Why could you stay in the Palace and hurt people after you did all the damaging things?
I also used to think if you fell into my hands one day, how I would avenge my parents.
But right now, seeing you like this, I suddenly feel that the fate has already been set.
Somebody!
Do you want to see how pitiful you are now?
Coup in Mount Lianyu...
I knew you set the trap.
But you had not expected that I could use it for myself.
Let me tell you the truth.
Your son Zilong was killed... Prime Minister!
Prime Minister, finally you come!
Prime Minister, please save Her Grace!
Prime Minister, Lord Anping is in the room.
Prime Minister!
Your Highness!
Your Grace!
Your Highness, you can't do this!
Your Highness, no matter what, she's the Empress Dowager, and your linear mother.
Your Highness, our country is ruled with loyalty and filial piety.
If you fail to do that, your people will laugh at you.
Don't overthink, Prime Minister.
You are the empress of the my father and the current Empress Dowager.
I'm simply visiting you, as one of your sons.
The coming days would be long.
I'll visit you again some other day.
Your Grace!
Your Grace!
Your Grace!
Wen Zongshen.
I'm here.
Send someone to kill him!
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Your Grace.
Lord Anping, the girl woke up.
She said she would like to thank you for life-saving grace.
Her identity has been ascertained.
She was Hu Yao, who worked for Lord Yuzhang.
Still no clue about Princess Consort Yuzhang?
Su Jin'er did not leave a clue as agreed, but I have dispatched people to look for them out of the Capital in different directions.
Leave me.
- Yes.
- Yes.
It will be the Mid-autumn Festival in a couple of days.
We don't know where the princess is now when it's time for family reunion.
I don't understand.
Without any reason, why did Lord Yuzhang suddenly become a traitor?
Don't you want to live anymore?
How dare you say this!
Fengchi Palace is really ill-fated.
Don't know what will happen when there's a new emperor.
Lord Anping has come.
He has come.
Greetings, Your Highness.
His Majesty has come!
In August, the second year of Chengkang, Lord Anping Zitan took the throne in Taiji Hall and named his birth mother Xie as Empress Dowager Xiaochun Yuning.
In simply two years, there were three emperors in Cheng.
(Taiji Hall) Officials have been in panic.
(Taiji Hall) What a good opportunity!
What a great opportunity!
But it was lost!
Father, calm down.
Lord Yuzhang rebelled, assassinated the Emperor, failed and died!
Who would believe such a poor excuse?
You mean...?
If he really wanted to rebel, how could he bring only a few hundred soldiers?
If he wanted to rebel, he would have been the Emperor long ago!
If it weren't Xiao Qi, who else was so capable?
Zilong was assassinated.
The little prince is missing.
But Zitan knew what happened in the Capital when he was far away in the Imperial Mausoleum and he returned to the Capital in time without being summoned.
Are these events accidental?
Didn't Wen Zongshen or others understand?
But in such a condition, Zitan is the only prince alive, from the royal family!
No one could take the throne, but him!
Xiao Qi was too arrogant.
He offended not only the Wang and Xie Families, but the entire noble class in Cheng.
This gave Zitan a chance!
Father, what do you think we should do now?
There is no point in hiding in Jiangnan.
My son is back!
Greetings, Father.
(King of Hulan) Our warrior is back!
Good son.
Come on.
Meet the messenger of Prince of Kerr, Lord Kunpu.
Greetings, Lord Kunpu.
Prince Zhen, nice to meet you.
Zhen, long time no see.
Tuo, long time no see.
Come, please.
Welcome.
Come on.
Our warrior has just returned from a victorious battle.
Let's celebrate his return.
- All right.
- All right.
Cheers.
Come on.
Take your seats.
Enjoy the meat.
All right.
Zhen, you killed Lord Yuzhang and destroyed Ningshuo Army.
You made great contributions to our tribe.
As your father, I told you long ago whenever you killed Xiao Qi, I would abdicate and let you be the new king of Hulan.
(Helan Tuo, nephew of the King of Hulan) Cheers.
Zhen, I have another important thing to announce.
King of Kerr and I have settled your engagement with Princess Mia, the daughter of King of Kerr.
This time, Lord Kunpu came for this engagement.
Father.
Give a toast and salute to the relative coming all the way here.
I'm sorry, but I won't get engaged.
You!
You humiliated us.
We'll make you and your tribe pay the double price.
- Zhen!
- Lord Kunpu!
Lord Kunpu, don't leave!
Don't go, Lord Kunpu.
He just lost his mind.
Don't be mad at him, Lord Kunpu.
I'll surely persuade him.
I promise I'll settle his engagement with Princess Mia, all right?
In Ten days, in the coronation, I will pass the throne to you.
You will become the new king of Hulan.
You have no choice, but to ally with Kerr Tribe.
If I have to, I would rather relinquish the throne.
So stupid!
You don't want your throne?
How could I have such a son like you?
How could you have a son just like me?
I guess you know it clearly.
The most important two persons in my life, my mother and my sister...
They have died.
I could have a chance to save them.
But you made me lose the chance.
Now, I don't want to lose my beloved woman.
I've already taken her back to Hulan and I want to marry her.
If you really want to reward me, let me marry her.
You did all of this just for a woman?
Only for a woman?
What kind of woman is she that makes you so crazy?
Is she the incarnation of the deity?
No, she's not.
But in my heart, she's much better.
There's no such woman!
I'd like to see her.
She is from the Wang Family in Cheng.
Her name is Wang Xuan.
You want to marry Princess Consort Yuzhang?
She's not Princess Consort Yuzhang.
Lord Yuzhang died.
She's just Wang Xuan.
Look how stupid you are!
Look at your face.
Who dares to marry you?
Forgive me for not taking good care of you.
Awu, I had this tent especially prepared for you and I don't know if you're satisfied with it.
You're new here and you must be unaccustomed to the local life.
If you need anything, just tell me and I'll get it done right away.
Don't just stand there, Alima.
Greetings, Princess Consort Zhen.
I'm not his wife.
On this grassland, it's not easy to find people who speak your language.
It took me great trouble find this good-looking girl.
If you don't like her, I'll find someone else.
Alima, the one in front of you is the most honorable woman in Hulan.
You have to take good of her with your heart and soul.
If she doesn't like you or isn't satisfied with anything I'll throw you back to the slave camp immediately.
Do you get it?
I'll definitely take good care of Princess Consort Zhen.
Don't you know what I mean?
I'm not his wife.
I'm Princess Consort Yuzhang.
All right.
Just listen to her.
Yes.
Go get some hot water and get her washed.
Yes.
Come on.
Have a taste of the best milk tea on the grassland.
Out, please.
It's cold here.
Hot milk tea could warm you up.
You want to see His Majesty?
Please follow me.
Miss Hu Yao, rules are different in the Palace.
Girls should take small steps.
You can't shake your arms, either.
You should slow down your pace.
Miss Lingchun, I want... Miss Hu Yao, you mustn't shout like that, either.
I know.
I just want to ask...
I just want to ask.
Were you accompanying His Majesty all the time?
Yes, and what's the matter then?
Then do you know whether I was all alone when His Majesty saved me?
What?
Do you still have any living partners?
Some advice for you.
If you want to live, forget what you shouldn't mention again.
Miss Hu, when you see His Majesty, don't look straight at him, don't call him by name, and don't use improper words.
Understand?
You're Hu Yao?
Greetings, Your Majesty!
They said you wanted to see me?
Your Majesty, I'd like to thank you for saving my life.
If you hadn't saved my life... Keep a low voice.
If you hadn't saved my life, I would be dead now.
I'll never forget how you helped me.
In the battle on the Hunting Ground, you're the only one of Ningshuo Army who survived?
Yes.
Get up.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
You don't come here simply to thank me, do you?
Now that I'm lucky to survive, I want to prove the innocence for Lord Yuzhang and Ningshuo Army.
This is your aim?
Your Majesty, I followed Lord Yuzhang since childhood.
We fought so many battles to protect the country.
I swear on my life.
We're never disloyal to our country.
Your Majesty, I beg you to investigate it and prove the innocence for Lord Yuzhang and Ningshuo Army.
For the issue of Lord Yuzhang, the officials are investigating it.
Your testimony can't decide it.
I plan to proclaim a general amnesty.
You and other Ningshuo soldiers are spared, too.
You may leave.
If you go now, no one will stop you.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
A guest from afar is always my friend.
I've heard a lot about you, Princess Consort Yuzhang.
Greetings, King of Hulan.
You're said to be exceedingly beautiful.
It's true.
Hulan people are said to kidnap citizens of Cheng.
It's true, too.
So you mean you were forced to come here?
Helan Zhen sneaked into our Capital and brought me here against my will.
Of course it's kidnapping.
Hulan and Cheng have just allied.
You are the King of Hulan, but you ignore your oath to our alliance and let your son kidnap someone else's wife.
Speaking of morality and credit, you're not as majestic as a king should be.
You're the first woman who dares to say this to me.
You have wisdom and a lot of guts.
No wonder my son fell in love with you.
Princess Consort Yuzhang, since you don't love him how about I let you out of the town?
Are you serious?
Tonight I'll ask my men to send you out.
However, you are not allowed to come back.
Otherwise, you'll be the wolves' meal on our grassland.
Treacherous old King of Hulan.
Is this a challenge or opportunity?
On this strange grassland, I can't make any mistake.
Anyway, I can't have any hope, unless I'm alive.
Father!
Father!
Father!
What's up?
Daddy, the man is gone.
- He's gone?
- He's gone?
The horse's gone, too.
He hasn't recovered yet.
How could he leave?
Yeah.
He really left.
Father, look.
I will pay you later for saving my life.
