What's done cannot be undone.

His Majesty has ordered vassals and chiefs of the noble class to offer sacrifices to the fallen army.

Since ancient times, emperors have only offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and the imperial ancestors.

This has never been done before or hence.

What else does he want?

Now, everyone present and even all noble families of the Cheng will be trampled underfoot by the low class with no other choices at all.

Is there nothing we can do?

Perhaps we still have someone who may help us.

Father, you called me.

About the Nine-bestowal Ceremony, is there any news in the court?

All news has been blocked by Wen Zongshen without being delivered to His Majesty.

But the message is already out.

Rumors are rife now.

This Wen Zongshen.

I will see how long he can keep this secret.

Go.

Father called me here only for this matter?

One more thing, The Gu family has declined.

If you want to reconsider your marriage, Gu Caiwei is not a good choice.

I understand.

Now it is widely said that the Lord has asked His Majesty to hold the Nine-bestowal Ceremony.

Do you think this is the lord's intention?

How is it possible?

Don't you know what a temper our lord has?

It must be some crafty sycophant who plans to raise His Majesty and the court's suspicion of our lord.

Who on earth will it be?

That needs to be closely investigated.

But I think it must be some of the noble class.

All these years, the lord has been guarding the border and suppressing rebellions, making so great contributions to the Cheng.

Why would the noble class bear grudges against the lord?

Because what they are really afraid of is that the low class comes into power.

- My Lord.

- My Lord.

Those who spread rumors, no matter how high their status is, are just vile characters.

Forget them.

It must be someone who has spread rumors to frame the lord.

Yao, if something needs explanation, whatever you say, you can't explain it.

Just let them say what they like.

When things get big, people behind it will reveal themselves.

Prime Minister Wen, again you are here to see the Empress Dowager.

I heard that Princess Consort Yuzhang is here.

I have something important to report to Her Grace.

Please go and tell Her Grace.

Yes, Prime Minister Wen, please.

Your Grace, Prime Minister Wen is here to see you.

He is waiting outside.

Your Grace.

Prime Minister Wen, it must be something urgent to bring you to Yong'an Palace to see me.

Yes, I begged to see you, Your Grace, for the sake of Lord Yuzhang and His Majesty and for the Cheng Your Grace, do you know that the Capital is full of rumors these days?

Didn't you say it was a rumor?

There are no waves without wind.

Your Grace, you really haven't found out how much your husband has changed on his return?

The lord is like being reborn.

Everything is reasonable.

Your Grace, you don't know that there are three of recent Memorials asking to allow Lord Yuzhang hold the Nine-bestowal Ceremony.

I, on behalf of all civil and military ministers and all commoners to beg Your Grace to stop Lord Yuzhang.

Prime Minister Wen, please don't.

Your Grace, I know both of you have resentments in your heart.

As for the incident in the paddock, it is the Cheng and all it's nobles should be guilty of what happened to Lord Yuzhang, to soldiers who died there.

But now the Cheng is in turmoil and can no longer withstand any storms.

Moreover, Your Grace, you're a member of the royal family, a descendant of the Wang, and Princess Consort Yuzhang.

You can't let the Cheng go down like that.

Prime Minister Wen, Lord Yuzhang will never do that.

I beg you, Your Grace, for the sake of the country and its people, please do not refuse me.

All right, I promise you.

I will look for an opportunity to stop Lord Yuzhang.

Rise, please.

As long as I have Your Grace's promise, there is hope for everything.

I express thanks, on behalf of all commoners, to Your Grace.

Nine-bestowal Ceremony.

Xiao Qi will never do that.

Who on earth is stirring up trouble?

Your Grace, this is a new medicine prescribed by Doctor Shen for miscarriage prevention.

Your Grace, Lord Jiangxia has sent someone to ask you to go to Lord Jiangxia's Mansion for a chat.

Lord Jiangxia?

Yes.

Asking for me?

(Lord Jiangxia's Mansion) Noble Concubine Su has arrived.

Go and report.

Yes, Your Grace.

- Steward.

- What are you doing?

Why are you in panic?

That Su Jin... No, it's Noble Concubine Su that has arrived.

Su Jin'er?

Over the years, only empresses would frequently visit Lord Jiangxia's Mansion.

What's the fuss about her being a noble concubine?

Though it is said so, she is carrying the heir to the throne.

I'll check it out.

Greetings, Your Grace.

Your Grace, please.

We are old friends.

No need to be punctilious.

Yes.

This is where Your Grace comes from.

This is your side of the family.

It's comforting that you're still thinking about your family.

Where's Lord Jiangxia?

You mean the Master?

He's within.

You can't expect him to come out in person to welcome you?

Your Grace, please.

I know the way.

Wang An, why do you bring me here?

They're sweeping the front hall.

Sorry to have you waiting here for a moment.

The Master will be here soon.

Please.

Jin'er.

Jin'er.

Jin'er.

Lord Jiangxia.

This is your side of the family.

You, me and Awu, our three grew up in this yard together.

Though we used to be masters and servant, you can completely take me as your elder brother.

You can tell me whatever you have in your mind.

But you have to remember that your secret is also the Wang's secret.

We should keep this secret together and hide it from everyone.

Lord Jiangxia, why don't you get this straight?

Tell me how long have you been pregnant?

I've been carrying the heir to the throne for seven months.

But as far as I know, it is nine months.

It's said that lies are easy to make up while the truth is hard to hide.

You really think your belly can fool the imperial physician?

If I'm right about the timing, nine months ago, it was exactly when the Lianyu Mountain incident happened, you and Awu escaped the Capital and our current emperor was on his way from the Imperial Mausoleum to the Capital.

You didn't have any opportunities to see each other at all.

How could you be inexplicably pregnant?

I know I shouldn't tell you this to remind you of the unpleasant past, but I want to tell you that when you give birth to the baby next month, the imperial physician will tell His Majesty that it is a premature birth.

I think His Majesty will not suspect it.

After the lie has been cast, you earn your dignity with your child.

As for what happened nine months ago, no one will mention it again.

What do you like me to do to return the favor?

I hope you can help me get the Imperial Seal.

What do you want with the Imperial Seal?

Well, you have your secret and I have my sore subject.

But what I can tell you clearly that whatever happens I'll never hurt His Majesty.

Are you sure you won't hurt Zitan?

(Lord Jiangxia's Mansion) Your Grace.

Count Suyi, please.

These are secret letters Zitan wrote to Helan Zhen, the irrefutable evidence that he had colluded with foreign enemies to kill the late emperor and frame Xiao Qi.

Where did you get these?

It doesn't matter.

Our family has our own means.

The ringleader of the Lianyu Mountain Incident is His Majesty!

Zitan, the beastman, he killed his elder brother.

With these as the evidence, I'm afraid that Zitan will lose his throne.

Xiao Qi once took an oath.

He swore in front of the graves of those dead comrades-in-arms that he would offer the murderer's head as a tribute to soldiers died in Ningshuo.

So you should tell him right now.

Count Suyi's mission is to send these letters to Xiao Qi in person and tell him you've been working so hard to get them.

Prime Minister, does it have to be me?

You are the one Xiao Qi trusts the most.

He won't suspect it if it's you But I haven't visited his home since he came back.

I think there's already a rift between us.

Therefore, you should take the initiative to ease the relationship between you.

These are the evidence he has been unremittingly searching for.

You're doing him a big favor by giving these to him.

He will certainly appreciate you.

Your Grace.

His Majesty has been low-spirited since he met Princess Consort Yuzhang the other day.

He ignores the government affairs and gets drunk every day.

What if it endangers his health?

Shut up.

Your Grace.

Your Grace, His Majesty ordered that he wouldn't see anyone.

I heard His Majesty gets drunk in the Shiqian Hall, so I specially brought some sobering soup.

Um.

You can't afford to scare His Majesty's child.

If His Majesty blames you, I'll take it for you.

Your Grace, please.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, Jin'er is here to bring you the sobering soup.

Your Majesty?

Your Majesty.

Please don't go.

Awu.

Awu.

(Supreme Peace) Only with the Imperial Seal, can I rightfully succeed to the throne.

Father, if you really do this, there will be no turning back.

Do you think we two have a way out now?

Then what should we do after we have the Imperial Seal?

Go and get Song Huaien here.

Yes.

- Your Majesty.

- Your Majesty.

Who came here last night?

Your Majesty, only Noble Concubine came.

Your Grace.

His Majesty is here.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Was that you?

Tell me, did you do this?

Your Majesty.

I was forced.

You were forced?

Who forced you?

It's just you forcing yourself.

That's right.

It's me.

Shouldn't I do it?

If she comes into the palace again, I'll pour it on her myself.

You can never compare her.

Shoulders down.

Shoulders down and hold your breath.

Shoulders down.

Hold it.

Take a break.

I'm not tired.

I want to revenge for General Guanglie and soldiers died wrong.

You're great.

Keep practicing.

Yes.

Brother, I want to practice too.

You do?

Okay.

Do you want to see this?

Come here.

Don't encourage him to take a revenge.

He's just a kid and you can't let him live in hatred.

On the Lianyu Mountain, he saw soldiers dying wrong before him.

His hatred is already there.

I don't need to teach him anything.

Just like this.

Must you take the revenge?

Yes.

If the enemy is not an ordinary people... Yeah, just like this.

Xiao Qi.

You have to hold firmly.

Xiao Qi.

Like me, look.

For example, it's Wen Zongshen.

Wen Zongshen?

He's unable to do that.

What if it's my brother?

Take the bow with your left hand.

I said.

Yeah.

No matter who he is.

What's the matter with you?

I'm just worrying what if it's someone we are close to.

Like me.

No.

You're mind-absented.

Are your hands tired?

What happened?

Just tell me.

You don't have to take it yourself.

Xiao Qi.

Come on, look at me.

I tell you...

Your Grace, the death anniversary of the Eldest Princess is only a few days away.

The room of the Eldest Princess has been locked for a long time and I'm afraid there will be a lot of dust.

I wanna go over there before then and clean it up.

Madam Xu, thanks and please go for it.

A few days ago, Zitan summoned you.

Nothing happened in the Capital could spare our family's informers.

Prime Minister, may I ask that if Xiao Qi rebels, what do you plan to do?

Zitan might not be the legitimate successor, but anyway he's the emperor now.

If Xiao Qi rebels, I will announce a war proclamation and call together all military forces in Jiangnan to enter the Capital and crusade against the rebel.

I will certainly take out the imperial edict and set Jing up on the throne.

The imperial edict?

Why didn't I know about this?

I, Wang Lin, never do anything that I'm not sure of or I may fail the alliance between Count Suyi and me.

I understand.

Thank you, Prime Minister.

Please.

Good.

Who?

Who is it?

Good boy.

Don't cry.

Wang An?

Madam Xu.

Why are you here?

I...

The Master has come back from the Capital.

He found this yard quiet, so he has rented this attic to treat some important guests.

I wait here as I have nothing else to do.

- Don't cry.

- Whose child you are holding?

Is it Jing?

What Jing?

It is Jing.

- Jing.

- Please stop crying.

Didn't Lord Jiangxia say Jing was entrusted to a reliable family in Jiangnan?

Why he's here now?

I don't know either.

Madam Xu.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Lord Jiangxia.

- Good boy, don't cry.

- That's it Since I came back from Jiangnan, I've been thinking Jing.

Anyway, he is the only son of the previous emperor.

Now it's all turmoil and war chaos in Jiangnan.

It's more safe to keep him by my side.

So I asked people to bring him back from Jiangnan.

Count Suyi, you can't let Madam Xu see you.

If Awu and her husband know you're with me, the consequences can be imagined.

Why didn't you inform Lord Yuzhang's Mansion about that?

If Her Grace knows Jing is back, how happy she would be.

Hold on.

Madam Xu, let's talk about this outside.

Lord Jiangxia, you should leave Jing to me.

Madam Xu.

Madam Xu.

What did you do?

Madam Xu.

Wang An, get the doctor, quick!

Yes.

Madam Xu.

Madam Xu.

Take good care of Awu.

Madam Xu.

Madam Xu.

Bury Madam Xu in the grave next to your mother's.

She had been serving the Eldest Princess for her whole life.

She can stay with her after she died Count Suyi, you can't stay here for too long.

Let's clean it up.

Yue.

Yes.

Do you have any news about Madam Xu?

Not yet.

Pang Gui has gone to the Ci'an Temple to find her.

The doorman said he didn't see Madam Xu coming out of the temple.

But they can't find her inside of the temple either.

It's weird.

Go and prepare for the carriage.

The carriage?

I'll go find her myself.

Yes.

I will go with you.

All right.

Master, the old master will stay in the Qiufeng village tonight where used to be a stronghold of the Wang's secret guards.

It's worn though, it's safe.

Where's Madam Xu?

Qingyun has temporarily buried her at the back of the mountain.

Master, I feel bad about it.

I'm thinking about when Madam Xu and I entered the Prime Minister's together to serve the old master and the Eldest Princess.

More than twenty years has passed.

I dare not to think about that moment.

She died all of a sudden.

By the way, Master, if Her Grace can't find Madam Xu, she definitely will look for her.

- She will know at one glance - Get out.

My Lord and Your Grace, we've searched every corner of the temple, but still haven't found Madam Xu.

Xu came here this early morning and went clean up the room of the Eldest Princess.

Since she's familiar with the environment, we didn't send people to accompany her and we don't know when she's gone.

But someone heard some baby crying inside of the room.

The room of my mother, you sure you've looked out carefully?

Over there... Over there, it's a little bit inconvenient.

Lord Jiangxia lives there for the time being.

My brother?

Who is it?

Your Grace, what brings you here?

You really are here.

Where's my brother?

Awu, what are you doing here?

Brother, Madam Xu is missing.

I came to find her.

What happened?

Isn't that the anniversary of our mother's death is only two days later?

Madam Xu said she wanted to come and clean the room up, but she hasn't come back yet.

We went out in the daytime, too.

We didn't see her.

Why are you staying here?

I've been dreaming about our mother lately.

I guess she is missing me, so I've come here to be closer to her, and to keep her company.

Why didn't you tell me?

I can live in anywhere alone, unlike you.

If you also move in here like me, Lord Yuzhang won't be happy.

The abbess told me she often heard sounds of a baby crying coming from this room.

I never heard that.
