You're a concubine of the Shogun.
How could you do?
You're hiding something.
Omino, tell the truth ...
... or get tortured to death.
Mrs Anekoji planned it.
What?
Deny your request to visit the temple.
Perhaps the Shogun is sterile.
But I want you getting pregnant.
If sterile How I will do?
Do not you know?
We had planned to Osumi ...
... but perhaps you're better ...
... because you keep a secret.
Do not worry.
I've prepared everything.
The next day I went to ...
Temple Jonen ... as I said.
I could have happened to me.
Fell into the trap in my place.
Sorry.
Nothing happens.
Mrs Anekoji is terrible.
Pretended to know nothing.
Osumi.
Please do not tell.
Why?
I can not live.
He betrayed Mrs Anekoji.
Come on.
But ...
Hide somewhere party tonight.
Tomorrow I will tell to the veterans.
Come on.
Who are you?
Keep your mouth shut.
How could you?
Osumi, is one of the rules.
Like this.
Now you're also guilty.
Somebody!
- Intruder! - Seize him!
¡Intruders!
Intrusive.
- Omino! - Leave me here!
Omino, come on.
Go, Osumi! Leave me here.
Do not give up!
Thanks!
I am satisfied.
You do well.
Omino.
Omino ¡!
Come, follow me.
You can escape here.
Thanks, Yoshino.
Osumi ¡!
Genshiro.
What happened?
Something terrible.
He fled the harem.
What?
Come on.
Are you hurt?
After what has happened ...
... I can not go back to my parents.
I could have committed suicide ...
... but wanted to see again.
Osumi.
That's it.
Now I do not die.
Do not say that.
You need to dry clothes.
Welcome.
- Are you my daughter? - No, sir.
Why you ask?
A messenger of the harem.
Osumi has escaped.
No!
I have to punish with death ...
... to save our honor.
She understands.
Genshiro.
She loves you.
You can come here.
If the support ...
... will be punished too.
Do me a favor.
Kill it and defend my honor.
Entiérrala anywhere.
But not in our cemetery.
I brought some money.
Use it to your soul rest in peace.
I was stupid.
I thought that serving the Shogun ...
... in bed, I am honored.
The father and daughter ... Two stupid.
What a dumb way to secede.
Since the sudden Omino death ...
... the Shogun is sick.
You can die in any time.
We must ask you make a decision.
The best thing would be to accept Tsunayoshi Lord ...
... as an heir to the castle.
I agree.
Tsunayoshi Lord is his brother.
There is no better successor.
Silence!
The Shogun has no children ...
... and that is worrying.
But it is too early to say it is sterile.
We can not wait to check.
That is an insult to him.
What happens if you have a child before that Tsunayoshi becomes heir?
What else?
There would be a great confusion.
We present the Shogun.
Another reunion for choose my successor?
Yes, my lord. We turn.
Stay at the harem, please.
I do not need your instructions.
I am not a stud!
The ship returns to home ...
... with your mother on board.
As a gift, will bring ...
... a red dress and a belt.
So it is good and sleeps well ...
... or shake the sea.
Your mother is ...
... on the way home.
Beautiful song. Let me hear more.
I've come to the heart.
I may not look.
- Excuse me. - Okay. Alzate.
You have very soft eyes.
You name?
Yoshino.
Yoshino ¿?
Nice name.
My lord!
Sorry.
Nothing happens.
My servants should be laughing at me.
I am lewd, passionate ...
... idiot and a madman.
No!
I know that is nice.
I will never forget their generosity.
The other day estropeé their underwear.
I was punished, but ...
... you saved me from the worst.
I was the servant to which helped.
His smile is gracious etched in my head.
His voice still resonates in my ears.
His continued support me.
You are very sincere.
I'm surprised you live ...
... in this nest of foxes.
My lord!
Yoshino.
My lord.
I do not deserve your love.
Yoshino.
Glad ...
... to have.
The pleasure is mine.
I am happy.
Yoshino.
Sálvame. Sálvame.
Two months later ...
... the Shogun had Ietsuna a heart attack and died.
The Shogun is dead!
It's over!
His sudden death caused an uproar.
When appointing A new Shogun ...
... except veterans ...
... all the ladies were released.
The Shogun's concubines became nuns ...
... and lived in the stronghold outside the castle ...
during the mourning ... rest of their lives.
- Onatsu late. Traedla. - Yes
Onatsu not wearing the appropriate attire.
Get dressed in white.
No! I stay in the harem.
Why should I become a nun?
I am sure that gustaré the new Shogun.
Shut up!
Are you crazy?
- Córtate hair! - No. No!
His stay in the harem came to an end.
Ladies and courtesans left the castle.
The maids could return home with their relatives.
He introduced the new Shogun!
few days later, the new Shogun came to the castle.
was appointed by his brother.
It was the fifth Shogun Tokugawa regime.

Genshiro.
What do you want, chamberlain?
I have a job for you.
No one else can.
Find a woman.
Your talents will be useful to us.
- A woman special? - Yes
A concubine of the Shogun.
I heard one of them she became pregnant.
It would be a problem.
Against the wishes of Sakai ...
Tsunayoshi has ... become Shogun.
Sakai not keep silent.
If you find that the deceased Shogun had a baby ...
... it will appoint an heir.
This would recover his position.
To avoid disturbances ...
... we must not give him the chance.
Want to find ...
... abortion to women and the baby?
Genshiro do it for us.
You'll have a great reward ...
... and a place in the clan.
I do not want neither money nor a job.
- Do you refuse? - I like my life.
The skirmishes for power Case you are ...

A woman almizcleña. How is that?
The smell coming from parts when in ecstasy.

It is an exceptional occasion.
It is unusual to try the concubines of the Shogun.

Welcome.
- Are you still awake? - Yes
Sorry, too late.
Genshiro, are you awake?
Yes
I do not hide anything, right?
No, nothing.
Do not do anything dangerous. I do not know what he would do without you.
What will become of me if I do not come back?
Stay together.

That was true of only The injured includes pain.
Sorry. You did for me.

I want to return to the past.
Are we back to the past?
You are here ... alive.
With that I am worth.
Genshiro.
If you have forgiven me ...
... Would you marry me?
As lovers.
As before.
Osumi.
Onatsu.
Onatsu ¿?
How long.
Is this really you, Onatsu?
Now my name is Aoi Dayu.
It has become crazy.
I am afraid I must leave the house.
The influential gentlemen Owari Date and are near here.
We'll see. Now I make Oiram.
What?
- No smell of musk? - No.
The test for all and nothing.
I doubt that the deceased Shogun had a son.
Should be outside the harem.
What are you afraid?
Even if true, Who can prove it?
- There is a test. - Huh?
Before dying ...
... gave a certificate to the woman.
A certificate?
"Pilgrimage to the Temple Asakusa
Asakusa is one of the festivals of the harem.
It is an imitation of Asakusa festival .
The ladies wearing masks and enjoy the evening.
Who are you? Miya ¿?
What are you doing?
I do not like the festival.
What are you doing?
How dare you?
Estate and still not hurt you.
I will take you to heaven.
Stop!
I're insulting!
Tell me who smells like musk.
The Shogun left pregnant.
I do not know.
Faster!
- Who is it? - I do not know.
Tell me who he is.
Yoshino.
- Yoshino? - Yes
He left the castle.
I do not know where.
¿Yoshino is a certificate?
- I do not know. - You have to know.
No! Let her!
So this is the certificate.
Sorry! Excuse me!
What? Do not know how contact your parents?
That will make it difficult for the wedding.
I commiserate of Yoshino. At last he had said ...
You may be at home.
Yoshino is not true daughter of Fushimiya.
What?
His mother was a poor servant.
Should have deambulado Yoshino since birth.
He was found half dead by Fushimiya.
They tried to help, but it was impossible.
They had no children of their own, so I adopted it.
So we have no clue?
Wait! Yoshino always sing the same lullaby.
I doubt that it will serve, but may be a clue.
What, Kanji?
I know that I have heard before somewhere.
Really?
That's right! Now I remember!
A woman in the red district Benten-cho used to sing.
The newly Wakasa sell!
Wakasa ¿?
A lullaby of Wakasa. Is your mother there?
Yoshino.
Yoshino ¿?
Hey, is not pregnant.
Where is your baby?
What baby?
We know that the Shogun let you pregnant.
No.
Is a child.
The son of the late Shogun?
No!
I have proof.
The Shogun wrote this certificate for you.
It has nothing to do with my son.
Who is the father?
It's just me ...
... and my first love.
- Are you worth it? - No.
The Shogun's son must die.
No, Genshiro!
Osumi, what are you doing?
I am concerned about it.
- Please forgive. - I can not.
Osumi.
Please!
Do not kill the child!
Osumi.
- I buy your freedom. - I do not care.
¡Forgive them, please!
I heard the story of the nanny.
A woman was sold ...
... to a brothel, leaving a baby.
Joanna fewer ...
... escaped.
Remo in a boat half of the storm.
He had no supplies.
I had no money.
In the end he could not see the baby.
The waves swallowed the unhappy mother.
All mothers love their children.
Genshiro, understand, please.
"Yoshino's son added." "Ietsuna Shogun."
Genshiro.
Master.
Master!
Is this OK?
My job is to perform abortions.
Like give me the imperial children.
'll Reason.
Sorry, but I must interrupt.
It's something personal. The truth is that ...
What?
I'm going to have my own kid!
It must be the end of the world! This is a signal.
When I look to the sea and, for me believe that the Shogun's harem there.
If you think about it, there. If not, cease to exist.
Yoshino has brought us this far. So that we can be happy.
harem beauties and 3,000 ...
existed only for ... the pleasure of a man.
But the bells stopped ringing ...
... two centuries later.
