You may rise.
My respected ancestors, my daughter Wang Xuan has been intelligent since childhood.
She is ordered by His Majesty to marry Lord Yuzhang Xiao Qi today.
All the six rites and ancestral rules are properly followed.
May the ancestors bless my daughter and her husband to have a harmonious life, support each other, and love each other forever.
Awu, from now on, you are Lord Yuzhang's wife.
You can't let your temper go and you should... Farewell, Mother.
Awu, I am so sorry for you.
My Lord, you are really handsome in this suit.
I wear my armor inside it.
Stand still.
Are firecrackers ready?
Yeah.
What about the stool?
Yeah.
Is everything ready?
All set.
Here they are!
Stand still.
Stand still, everyone.
Here they are!
Keep your spirits up.
Gentlemen, the happy couple is here.

Toast to Lord Yuzhang.
My Lord, we congratulate you for your wedding.
Princess Shangyang is unique in the world.
Unique in the world!
How lucky you are, My Lord!
Congratulations, My Lord.
Report!
My Lord!
My Lord, war emergency at the border!
Why hasn't Lord Yuzhang come yet?
Her Grace has been waiting for so long.
Your Grace, how about taking off the phoenix coronet and having some rest?
Absolutely not!
This phoenix coronet must be taken off by the husband.
That's the practice.
Your Grace, the Lord will come at once.
Please wait a little longer.
Your Grace!
Your Grace!
Your Grace!
The news came from Ceremony Hall.
Lord Yuzhang, he...
He's leaving.
Leaving?
He's going too far.
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace, you can't leave.
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace, don't!
Getting out of the bridal chamber on the wedding night is a big taboo!
- Yes, Your Grace.
- Your Grace, think twice please.
My Lord, My Lord, where are you going on your wedding?
Didn't you hear the border emergency and the invasion of Hulan?
Even so, you cannot go out of the Capital, without the imperial edict.
Duke Wei, do you forget that?
According to imperial rules, the border guard general is allowed to act at his discretion upon military emergency.
Even without the imperial edict, shouldn't we...
Shouldn't we tell the Prime Minister?
Duke Wei, please rest assured.
I will tell the Prime Minister later.
But as soon as the war broke out, there is no time to delay.
My Lord, please set out immediately.
Princess Shangyang is still in the bridal chamber.
But...
If you leave without telling her.... - Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace, don't leave!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace, don't leave!
- Your Grace!
Your Grace!
- General, you can't go in.
General.
- Your Grace!
I'm Song Huai'en.
For your information, Your Grace, there's military emergency and invasion of Hulan.
The Lord has no choice but to leave the Capital immediately and rush to Ningshuo.
Can't he wait for a moment?
At least he should have waited until the ceremony is over.
The groom is gone.
What's going on now?
The war situation is in emergency.
He has no choice.
Your Grace, please understand.
Before he left, he gave me the special task to bid farewell to you.
Even if he had to leave, he shouldn't have told Her Grace in her face.
He's so rude.
Does he look down on Her Grace?
I thought Lord Yuzhang is a man who is indomitable and daring.
I never expect him to be a coward who escaped at the critical moment.
Your Grace, there's really a border emergency!
Please consider the overall situation.
Overall situation?
Please tell me.
What is the overall situation?
Before the wedding ceremony is over, he left without saying goodbye.
Is it the overall situation?
He went to the Imperial Mausoleum and abandoned me.
Is that the overall situation?
Take away my love and marry me to a powerful general.
Is that the overall situation?
The overall situation you mean is nothing but the fight for power among noble clans.
I married a headstrong man by giving up my love.
Haven't I considered enough?
Must I even submit to humiliation and be willing to suffer this great shame?
You keep asking me to put the overall situation first.
It's a completely hypocritical and high-sounding scam.
You put on airs and ask me to consider the overall situation.
And what I saw are despicable, selfish, ugly and shameless faces.
That's not what I meant!
Your Grace, don't!
No one shall take off the hairpin, but your husband.
Please give this to your Lord and tell him that men should take responsibilities, and end what he started.
No one can replace him to do what he should do Your Grace.
Dare you disobey the order of Princess Consort Yuzhang?
I will follow your order, Your Grace!
- Why is Princess Consort Yuzhang out?
- Why is she out?
What?
Why is she out?
Let's depart!
It's like I had a nightmare that I cannot wake up from.
In the dream, I was walking alone in the mist.
It was boundless and I couldn't see the light.
I didn't want to look back while I didn't know the way forward.
(Lord Yuzhang's Mansion) I just hope that I will wake up one day.
My Lord, in the past three months, you've been sending letters and gifts to Huizhou.
But Her Grace hasn't replied at all.
It's really hard to make her happy.
Keep sending, then.
Your Highness, you have been playing chess for four hours.
Is there any letter from Huizhou?
No.
Father is the best at the chess game.
When I was young, he always taught Awu and me.
The North is the most frozen in early spring.
Your Highness, take care not to catch a cold.
Shall I go get more charcoal fire?
Don't bother.
I can resist the cold outwardly.
How can I warm myself inwardly?
Your Grace, you're awake?
Yes.
How long have I slept?
Your Grace, you were drunk and was sleeping for half a day.
You drink like this every day.
You drank up the green plum wine your brother sent half a month ago.
Then go get me some more.
Where can I get it?
This kind of wine is only available in the Capital.
I don't care.
You're smart and you will find a way out.
You have lived here for months.
You should get tired of here, right?
I do miss my mother.
Your Grace, Lord Yuzhang ordered someone to send a letter.
He is still at the door and waiting for your reply.
You can reply it for me.
In these days, he has sent so many letters and so many presents.
You don't even give a glance?
That's right.
He deserves it.
Because he ran away on his wedding night.
And that made us... Aren't we happy here?
Your Grace, the Third Prince also sent some letters.
Burn all of them.
I am already Princess Consort Yuzhang.
He and I are in no relationship.
Your Grace, look!
Kite lantern.
Make it higher.
Can you make it a little higher?
Your Grace, how high do you want?
If it gets higher, it'll float away as the wind blows.
I don't care!
When I'm here, it can't float away!
I want Zitan to see it!
It's really higher!
Your Grace, why don't we go back to the Capital after the Kite Lantern Banquet tomorrow?
Bravo!
Bravo!
Wait for me.
Wait for me.
Stop running.
Hurry up, hurry up!
Looks so beautiful.
I didn't expect the Kite Lantern Banquet to be so lively!
Right.
The Banquet didn't exist in Huizhou.
To make you happy, Mrs. Wu arranged it two months ahead and held it when you're still here.
It's so nice of her.
I must try to repay her in the future.
- Greetings, Your Grace.
- Greetings, Your Grace.
You may rise.
Something held me up.
Sorry I'm late.
Your presence makes the Banquet brilliant.
I am flattered.
I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time.
Thank you for your concern.
I just do my part and I'm glad you're happy.
Your Grace, this way please.
Look, Your Grace.
Look, look.
Miss Wu has such a good talent.
Mrs. Wu really teaches her well.
My daughter is not skillful.
Thank you for appreciation.
She is intelligent.
Is she your daughter?
Yeah, she's my daughter Huixin.
She has always admired you.
I will let her greet you later.
Look!
It's so beautiful over there.
It goes over there.
It goes that way.
That one looks good.
Look over there.
Looks great.
Be quiet.
Who are you?
Bravo!
Bravo!
Look, it's flying.
- Your Grace!
- Your Grace!
Who took Her Grace away?
Jin'er!
Your Grace!
What's going on here?
Your Grace!
Your Grace!
Your Grace!
Help!
Your Grace!
Who did that?
Keep off!
Keep Off!
Quickly!
Quickly!
Quickly!
Keep off!
Keep Off!
Back off!
Get out of the way!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Quickly!
Quickly!
Don't make a sound.
Be quiet!
Get out of the way!
Wake me up again, and I'll break your neck.
Back off!
Death of chicken pox will infect you!
Get out of the way!
Keep off!
Keep Off!
Quickly!
Get out of the way!
Death of chicken pox will infect you!
Do you want to kill yourself?
Move!
Move!
Move!
Death of chicken pox!
Let's go out.
Let us out!
Sir, sir, I beg you!
- We are going out.
- Let's go out!
It's really urgent.
(Notice) Let us out!
Back off.
Back off!
Get out of the way!
Stay away.
Get out of the way!
I have the Pass.
I have the Pass!
Death of chicken pox!
Keep off!
Keep Off!
- Be quick.
- Stop the carriage quickly.
General.
Come on, come on.
- Stop, stop, stop.
- The Chicken Pox.
I have the Pass!
Stop!
Stop and open the coffin.
- General!
- Open the coffin.
General, this is the Pass verified by the coroner.
The young master died of chicken pox and must be taken out of town overnight.
Even all his families have to be isolated in the mountains for a month.
They can't come back unless they're not infected.
What if Princess Yuzhang is in the coffin?
General, she... We'll fall in your trap, then.
Open the coffin and check!
General.
- General.
- No.
General.
He died of chicken pox!
General.
No.
General!
Cut the crap and check!
- General.
- Get out of the way.
General, listen to me.
- General!
- General, he died of chicken pox!
If you touch, you may die!
- General!
- General!
Cut the crap!
- General.
- General, don't!
- General.
- General!
General, this is contagious!
Let them pass.
All right, go.
Quickly!
Hurry up!
Hurry up!
Quickly!
Quickly!
Continue to intercept and check.
Yes, sir.
Father.
Father, take the medicine.
There you are, Your Grace.
How is it going?
The Crown Princess is in there.
Eunuch Xue told me just now that His Majesty still needs to rest in quietude and the Crown Princess can handle alone.
I'm ordered to stay here, and stop anyone to enter so as not to disturb His Majesty.
How daring!
Eunuch Xue is getting bolder.
How dare he stop Her Grace?
Come in, Your Grace.
The Empress has come.
Greetings, Mother.
I dare not accept your respect.
I heard you stopped anyone at the door and even I can't step into Shiqian Hall?
Shouldn't I greet you first?
That's not what I meant!
After Father woke up, the Crown Prince ordered me to take care of him well.
I never dare to neglect you, Mother.
Who are you?
Take the medicine.
Your Grace, did you get burned?
Did you get burned?
Don't get angry, Your Grace.
His Majesty is still ill.
Your Grace, please go back.
Here's insane.
Good day, Mother.
Wanru, what mother said just now was to blame Eunuch Xue.
Never mind.
I know you suffered.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
What Mother said...
I never mind.
I'm afraid maids and eunuchs are not careful enough.
That's why I went to Shiqian Hall to serve Father.
He must be taken good care of.
In the future, I'll take more care of him.
I really appreciate that you have such filial piety to Father.
My family is still guilty.
Without the blessing of you, I would have died.
Paying the filial piety on behalf of you helps me repay your kindness to me.
I really didn't know you could be so virtuous.
If Father can be sober, he will definitely praise you as a motherly model of the nation.
I am flattered.
This is what I should do and it's not worth mentioning.
However, it's the really important thing to have a son to carry on the royal bloodline.
If you really want to, we'll just have a bunch of kids!
They will run around us in here every day, all right?
- Answer me!
- Your Highness.
you're talking nonsense again.
A bunch of kids?
Yeah.
It's not like raising dogs or cats.
It is just a metaphor.
But I'm willing to do that.
Your Grace, why do you think is His Majesty insane?
How can I know that?
It's good for him to be insane.
If His Majesty is sober, will it be bad for you and the Prime Minister?
Now the Xie Family has been defeated.
My family has the dominating power in the Capital.
Even if His Majesty wakes up, what can he do about it?
We got news from Huizhou, saying that Lord Yuzhang has kept sending letters to Princess Consort Yuzhang since she went to Huizhou for recuperation.
Looks like he misses her.
Awu is the lineal daughter of the Wang family.
She has been cultivated by me since childhood.
She is a unique beauty.
Naturally, no man doesn't like her.
Lord Yuzhang is of the low class indeed.
But speaking of military power, he's far better than Lord Qingyang.
It's may not be a bad thing that Xiao Qi doesn't fully work for my brother.
When they restrain each other, it'll be a good thing to the Crown Prince.
Your Grace!
What makes you panic?
What's up?
I just received an urgent report.
Princess Yuzhang was kidnapped in the Kite Lantern Banquet in Huizhou.
and her whereabouts is unknown yet.
Go away!
Father, I know you're in there!
Whether you agree or not, tomorrow I will go to Huizhou to save Awu!
You can't!
Why?
We don't know if she's still alive.
I am her brother and shall I not to do anything?
I said you can't!
You must never leave the Capital!
If you suddenly leave in a strange way, how will you deceive your mother?
She was already ill.
If she learns that Awu is snatched and missing, do you know the consequences?
Awu had an accident.
Do you want your mother to die, too?
I know what is in your mind.
When I learned that Awu was in danger, I sent all my military force to Huizhou to rescue her immediately.
Awu will be safe and sound!
These days, spend more time with your mother.
Faster!
Faster!
You shut up!
What do you mean, Tang?
Now the Lord's wife has been taken away.
Why do you tell me about the Imperial Commissioner?
Military Parade?
Why bother?
What about Her Grace?
We are not looking for her?
It's clearly written in this edict.
The Imperial Commissioner Xu Shou visits Ningshuo on behalf of His Majesty under the order of the Crown Prince!
Crap!
Xu Shou will review the military parade in seven days.
If the Lord leaves, he will be disobedient.
Urgent report from Huizhou.
From Huizhou to Ningshuo, it takes at least three days for the fastest flying pigeon.
Three days, which means Her Grace has been taken away for three days!
When her life is at stake, you... You said that... Not to mention, Her Grace is the niece of His Majesty, and the biological daughter of the Prime Minister.
Even if an ordinary woman was kidnapped, would her husband not look for her?
Why did I say we wouldn't look for Her Grace?
We just can't disobey the order.
Before the Military Parade is over, how can the Lord leave Ningshuo?
It has been three days since Her Grace was taken away.
In such a big world, there are too many places to hide her.
However powerful the Lord is, can he search all the corners?
My Lord, in this case, why don't you send someone to rescue her?
Hulan enemies were just defeated.
The new king succeeded to the throne.
To settle their own disputes is their top priority.
It can't be them.
The kidnappers used so many tricks to take her away.
They must want to hold her hostage to achieve a certain purpose.
When they have her, they can either threaten the Prime Minister or me.
