Help Young Master out.

Come on.

Open it.

Be careful.

Help Young Master out.

Be careful.

Be careful.

Gently, gently.

Go.

Walk inside.

You two, carry her into the woodshed.

Give her some food and keep her alive.

Her Grace is a married lady.

So it appears that they're coming for you, My Lord.

Guanglie, go with your sister to check strictly all the trade caravans along the way, from Huizhou to Ningshuo.

Yes, My Lord.

My Lord, did you ever think about it?

Her Grace has been missing for 3 days.

People in the Capital must have known it.

Though they've known that, Xu Shou still decided the Parade.

Entertain Xu Shou properly.

Treat him well.

- Yes, My Lord.

- Yes, My Lord.

Your Highness, here comes Su Jin'er.

Jin'er?

It's snowing heavily.

Why are you here?

Your Highness, please go save Her Grace.

What happened to Awu?

She was hijacked.

Hijacked?

Her Grace and I lived in Huizhou and we made no enemy.

After she got hijacked, we searched her anywhere in the whole town, but could not find her.

I'm at my wit's end now.

So I came here alone for your help, Your Highness.

Let's go.

I'll go to Huizhou with you.

No, Your Highness.

Your Highness, you're here to atone for your mother's crime.

If you leave without permission, you'll be strictly punished.

The Prime Minister and Lord Yuzhang will look for Her Grace.

How can I turn my back on when Awu's in dangerous situation?

Your Highness, you'll give an excuse for gossip by others.

To be honest, your maternal family has collapsed.

You're in total isolation now.

Besides, the Imperial Mausoleum is heavily guarded.

How can you get out?

I've promised Awu that I would protect her forever.

I must go, no matter how I'll be punished.

Master, it's freezing outside.

Put on a cloak.

Let's go.

Princess Consort Yuzhang is really a beauty.

No wonder Young Master doesn't want to hurt her.

The more attractive she is, the more she'll be tortured by Xiaoye.

Think about it.

Those beautiful women around Young Master.

Has anyone ended up well?

Xiao... Xiaoye.

Who did you mean beautiful?

You're the most beautiful girl.

Yeah, yeah.

Stop gossiping, or I'll cut your tongues.

Get her out.

Young Master asked to see her.

- Bad news!

- Something's wrong!

- Something happened!

- Something happened!

Something's wrong!

Something happened!

Something went wrong!

Something's wrong!

What happened?

- The Third Prince is missing!

- The Third Prince is missing!

- Go look for him!

- Go!

- What are you waiting for?

- Go look for him!

You two, go with them.

- The Third Prince is missing.

- Go look for him!

How's she?

Son.

Mother.

Why are you home so late?

Some friends came from other places.

So I just showed them around.

Did you get any information from the Palace?

Be relieved, Mother.

Uncle's woken up.

He needs more time to recover.

That's good.

Did you hear from your sister?

She just wrote to me, asking for more jars of plum wine.

Look at her.

She's got married, but has not grown up yet.

How can I stop worrying about her?

Don't worry, Mother.

She's just a naughty girl.

Under no control there, she's much freer.

Son, how could you say that about your sister?

Mother, as soon as I was back I came to greet you.

I'm still sweating all over.

Can I go for a bath?

Go ahead.

You said Awu's was a naughty girl.

Look at you, you don't look like a Duke's son either.

I know I'm always a child in your heart.

Awu, I'm a useless brother and I can't keep you safe.

Where are you now?

Young Master.

Young Master, here she comes.

Let her in.

Come in.

Come closer.

When I leaned on you in the carriage, you were soft all over.

So, I wanted to see how you looked like at that time.

Now, I find you are a real beauty.

Xiao Qi is a lucky to have you.

Come on.

Come on the bed.

It's chilly here.

Come here and keep me warm.

Young Master!

Get out.

Get out!

Young Master, she's Xiao Qi's... Get out!

You're so sick now and you're still harassing me.

You really have some guts.

If you really want to kill me, you would have done that when you got me.

Killing me is not your real purpose.

I'm still useful to you, so you won't hurt me for the time being.

Yes.

You're indeed useful.

Depends on how I will use you.

Think about it.

If your proud husband knows that his newly married wife is raped by a man of Liupan clan who was ever defeated by him, what will he think?

Get off me!

Poor little girl, do you know how your husband got so many military achievements?

Do you know how many people were wrongly killed by him and his predecessors?

Nonsense!

Here comes the Empress.

Greetings, Your Grace.

You may rise.

Yes.

Your Majesty, I'm confused about something and I want to ask you.

Do you know that Awu was hijacked in Huizhou?

Awu?

Awu's here?

Let her come in and play chess with me.

I've been waiting for her.

Your Majesty!

Where's Awu now?

Get her to me.

Because of your cutting in, I don't know what the next move is.

Forget it.

One more thing.

A few days ago, Zitan escaped from the Imperial Mausoleum without permission.

It's a grave offense.

Now his whereabouts is also unknown.

You don't know it either?

Zitan?

Why did Zitan go to the Imperial Mausoleum?

Could it be Zitan who hijacked Awu?

Again, who hijacked Zitan?

You never understand.

Alright.

I'll talk with you when I find your beloved Third Prince.

Let's go back.

Good day, Your Grace.

Good day, Your Grace.

Eunuch Xue, shouldn't you always keep close to His Majesty?

Where have you been?

Your Grace, His Majesty hasn't slept well for days.

He woke up every night.

I went to the Imperial Medical Office for some sedative drugs.

Does His Majesty take drugs every day as usual?

Yes, every day.

Xue Dao'an, you're experienced in the Palace.

Remember, it's your duty to take good care of His Majesty and it's your only chance to have a face-to-face talk with me.

Don't bother about anything else.

If I find that you play tricks behind my back, I'll wring your neck.

I dare not.

Good day, Your Grace.

Your Majesty, I've sent people to look for the Third Prince.

Once we find him, I'll bring him to you immediately.

I see.

How...?

How about Princess Shangyang?

Your Grace, have you ever seen the old people buried their own children?

Have you ever seen the weak falling by the road side?

(Liupan) That's all because of Xiao Qi.

I know.

That's suffering of battles.

I also know that's Xiao Qi's helpless action for safeguarding Cheng.

I also know your people went back on your words... How dare!

Young Master doesn't like you, but I do.

Get away!

How seductive!

Xiao Qi didn't do anything wrong.

The lantern show we attended, I tell you, was really lively and bustling.

And you can't imagine that.

It was so crowded and there were a lot of delicious food.

It's so pity that we didn't taste any.

How dare!

Trying to run away?

How dare you hurt Young Master!

Xiaoye.

Stop, Xiaoye!

Young Master allows no one to hurt her!

How's Young Master?

Come.

Xiaoye.

Get away!

Got something about Awu?

Our secret guards got something.

Several days ago, a coroner in Huizhou was drowned in the river after getting drunk It was the following day after Awu's missing.

At that day, in the record, the coroner allowed a dead man to be carried out of town for burial, but none of his families returned.

They were killed?

Had those people been traced?

Our secret guards searched along the way and finally found some clues on their way to Ningshuo.

They must be coming for Lord Yuzhang.

But, maybe they changed their identity so the clues went lost.

Luckily, Awu will be safe till they achieve their purpose.

My men have rushed to Ningshuo and they'll get her back.

Ningshuo?

I heard from Zilong that half a month ago, Xu Shou was ordered to send this year's grains to Ningshuo.

He was subordinate to Duke Xie.

I know.

Without His Majesty's support, they can't make waves.

His Majesty is muddleheaded now and he'll be useless soon.

All I worry about is Awu now.

Is there any news from Ningshuo?

We still have several days to go.

Is it for certain?

Rest assured, Your Highness.

Helan Zhen has a complicated family background.

He and Xiao Qi are sworn enemies.

This time, Duke Xie and Liupan people worked together with all efforts.

Success is in sight.

When Xiao Qi dies, there will be no leader for Ningshuo Army.

Then we have no concerns.

I'm not worrying about Helan Zhen or his men.

Xu Shou makes me uneasy.

Duke Heng, you should know that Xu Shou doesn't work for us.

Once we succeed, he'll get the military power.

Aren't we taking a crocodile as a pet?

Your Highness, don't underestimate Wang Lin.

He and the Empress are monopolizing the court.

How will he give Xu Shou the Military power?

Ridiculous!

Those old ministers keep asking me to think it over.

Think it over.

Don't know what I should think over!

When I take the throne, I'll let them see what they will get!

Your Highness, what's going on?

Why are you so mad?

Awu has been missing for days and we have no news about her!

Today I tried to issue a royal decree to mobilize armies nationwide to lock down towns and search them.

Then the kidnappers can't get away and we can find Awu.

Unexpectedly, as I just spoke out, old officials stood out to veto me!

And even my uncle was against me.

He was even mad at me.

Your Highness, don't get angry.

I know that you grew up with Awu and you have strong feelings for her.

These officials are too stubborn and inflexible.

You think I'm right to do so?

I think you're a righteous and determined man.

You'll be a good emperor.

No wander Awu gets on well with you and asked me to treat you well.

My beloved wife is indeed different from those commonplace women.

Come here!

What are you looking at?

Hands up!

I should have killed you yesterday!

I'm not your enemy.

Why must you treat me like this?

You must have put a spell on.

Young Master.

The water is so precious but it's used as your bath water.

Come on.

Get yourself clean!

Helan Zhen is a beast, but you still obey him.

Say it again!

I'm saying that your Young Master is just a beast.

(Don't reply to me in case Xiao Qi suspects you.)

(Reply when it's done.)

(Looking forward to your reply.

From Xie Yuan) Greetings, My Lord.

Is the Imperial Commissioner here?

Yes, I'll tell him immediately.

Sir, Lord Yuzhang asked to see you.

Greetings, My Lord.

Greetings, Sir.

Come, please.

Take a seat, please.

I heard that you never drink wine.

I took some superior tea from the Capital.

You came from afar and this place is far inferior to the Capital.

It's bleak and cold here.

Please forgive us for poor accommodation.

How is it?

Good tea.

I've heard that your wife was hijacked.

I wonder who dared to do so!

But be relieved, My Lord.

Her Grace is not a common woman.

She can head off a danger.

Hope so.

By the way, sorry for the trouble I've brought you.

(Xu Shou, Imperial Commissioner) But I must obey the imperial order.

Though His Majesty has woken up, he still remains bedridden.

Now the Crown Prince governs the nation.

He's worried about something unforeseen in the North.

So, I was dispatched to come here.

Wars never end.

So, please forgive me, My Lord.

Wars never end.

I'm clear about which is more important between national affairs and family affairs.

Good.

Sir, my father-in-law held a birthday party last month.

Did you go there?

I left the Capital half a month ago, and I missed his birthday party.

It's such a pity.

I see.

Well, please stay here for several days.

I assure you that the Parade won't let you down.

All right.

Thank you for not killing me.

You really are gorgeous and elegant.

You're clean now and you're much more charming.

I'll let you regret not killing me.

It's not time to celebrate yet.

What a surprise!

Lord Yuzhang killed countless people, but his wife is quite softhearted.

Interesting.

I simply don't want your blood on my clean hands.

You defend him a lot.

But unfortunately, he has no compassion for you.

Xiaoye, didn't she just hurt Young Master?

Why does Young Master still want her to serve him?

He's not afraid that she will go crazy again?

How dare she!

If she hurts Young Master again, I'll kill her!

Is Young Master in love with her?

No way!

She's just a bait.

She'll be fed to dogs soon.

He left you behind on your wedding night.

I like women of your kind.

Young Master!

Get out.

Get out!

Ungrateful girl!

No one shall get in again!

Is everything all right?

Everyone knows your grievance.

You don't have to pretend to be strong.

You haven't slept with Xiao Qi, have you?

Xiao Qi doesn't want you.

I don't mind that.

You turned me down again and again.

You look down on me?

The mperial Commissioner said that he left the Capital half a month ago.

Actually, it only takes 10 days to come to Ningshuo.

But what took them so long?

Right.

The Parade day was on the imperial decree.

Why was he so slow?

Huai'en.

Here.

Take your men personally to keep a close watch on all of them.

Don't stop them from doing anything or alert them.

Yes.

You want me to look up to you?

Then fight against Xiao Qi squarely at the battlefields, rather than insult a woman here.

What kind of revenge are you taking?

You're a part of my revenge, too.

If your ancestors know it, they'll be ashamed of you.

My ancestors?

They were ashamed of me as early as 26 years ago.

I don't care for one more time.

You're a beast!

Yes, I am.

You're a beast!

If your mother, your sisters or other women in your family get raped like this, how will you feel?

No one is allowed to mention my mother!

Good for you.

Come on.

Do it harder.

If I die, all your plans will go in vain.

Wang Xuan, I really underestimated you.

Your Majesty, time to take medicine.

No.

How about getting an Imperial Physician?

I'm simply old.

In my heart, you're always the vigorous young man who just took the throne.

By the way, you've served me for dozens of years.

Xue Dao'an, I feel sorrow today.

Your Majesty, so do I.

Do you think I'm too cruel?

I dare not.

I know you're also feeling bad.

You loved and cared for Awu since she was born.

Your Majesty, could you spare her life?

Awu and Zitan... Only one of them can survive.

I don't have too much time.

For the sake of my family, I can only sacrifice Awu.

I understand that.

From today on, no one will play chess with me.

Are you teaching me how to deal with things?

No.

We simply think if you stay here for too long, I'm afraid you will delay the important plan.

If Wang Xuan hadn't hurt Young Master on his old wound... Xiaoye!

We could set out at this time tomorrow.

It takes only two days to arrive in Ningshuo.

But, I have one more request for your master.

What is it?

I want to keep her.

There're so many women in the Central Plains.

You will soon...

I want no one, but Wang Xuan!

Under my master's command, not a single member of the Wang family can be alive.

Sorry, but you may be disappointed.

Where are we heading?

Where's your Young Master?

I want to see him.

It's just been a while and you're already missing me?

What?

Come here, or they'll lash you.

Let's go.

Where are taking me?

I'm taking you to your husband.

We're heading for Ningshuo?

I keep thinking about what you said.

You said that I was right.

Do you know that before you, only one people in the world said the same thing?

Who is it?

My mother.

If she knows what you're doing, she'll say you're wrong.

She's long passed away.

What I'm doing now is for my mother.

Young Master, we're arriving at the border of Ningshuo.

Go to Changfeng Post.

Yes.

Let's go to Changfeng Post!
