Gods of Honour Ep 29
In the last episode, Huang Yan took great pains
to send a letter to the front line, but it was lost in the battlefield.
I wanted to use the Fire Formation, and the Five Colours Bull!
to take him unawares, but he escaped.
too much of a coincidence.
I suspect that you sent me away in a bid to use my 5 Colours Bull!
to kill the West Marquis and gain credit for yourself!
Don't be mistaken, I intended to capture him and hand him to you.
But someone appeared from nowhere and saved all of them!
Who was so capable?
I met him once in Jizhou. He's in cahoots with Jiang ziya.
He looks sheepish and has three eyes.
I think his name is Yang Jian!
Yang Jian?
Your Excellency, we found this bamboo slip In the woods.
A letter from home! Shame! Let's go!
Come and have dinner.
Only Tuxingsun has read the letter and he doesn't trust me.
Would you ask him for me?
I did ask him, and he seriously told me that it contained 3 words.
3 words? Which 3 words?
Your wife, I...
That's all? There must be more! Tell me!
Nianlang, you must grow up fast.
He has such narrow eyes, just like his father.
Mother, I wonder if Yang Jian has received my letter.
I sent someone to deliver a
but I'm not sure whether it has reached him.
I understand. The army is on the move all the time.
It's not easy to find a person.
Let's hope he has received it.
Yan-er, don't worry too much.
But... I have another wish
I'd like to take Nianlang to see Father. What do you think?
I suppose you know his temper. Let's drop the idea.
Perhaps, Father still has not accepted my marriage.
But Nianlang is his grandson.
Surely he should see the baby even if he doesn't acknowledge him?
Indeed. But...
Shall we not tell him that Nianlang is Yang Jian's son?
Mother, please help me this once.
All right I'll find a chance to let them meet when he returns.
Thank you, Mother
Master are you reading the Art of War?
Isn't this baby adorable?. Round eyes and rosy cheeks.
His hands are so soft and smooth. So lovely.
He even smiling when I sing his praises.
Whose child is that?
One of my nephew's baby. He was passing by with the child,
so I brought the lovely baby into the house.
Come carry the baby.
Where are you taking the baby to?
Master! Where is the baby?
You think I don't know whose bastard child he is?
Must be that wretched girl's!
Wretch! What are you doing here?
She's our daughter. Why do you insult her?
And how dare you send, a letter for her!
Father did the letter reach Yang Jian?
Dream on! I threw it away!
You threw it away?
Whoever sends letter for her shall be beheaded!
Our daughter is not our enemy! She's only...
Shut up! Get into the house!
Master...
My lord, if you see a red cloth in your dream, do not be alarmed.
It is a letter from your wife.
I hope it'll fly across seas and mountains to reach you.
My lord, I've been thinking of you since you set out for battle.
I have so much to tell you.
It must be tough on the battlefield and you must have lost weight.
Good news, my lord. I've given birth to a boy.
He's fair and chubby. A lovely baby he is.
Guess how foolish I was
In a dream I saw how bravely you fought the enemies.
So I named our baby Nianlang.
Do you see me in your dreams?
Nianlang is a good boy. He would look at me when I sing to him
He seems happy and is waiting anxiously for your return.
But know you can't come back so soon for a family reunion.
Nianlang and I live a happy life. Our neighbours take care of us.
My lord, do take care.
Though we're separated and I can't talk to you,
I've written all my feelings on this red cloth.
May Heaven show pity and send this red cloth to you.
Nianlang and I will wait faithfully for your return.
Do take care. Have a safe journey. Do not worry about us. Yan-er.
Fire Wind Wheels, please take me back to Chaoge.
Aunt Yin.
Shh! Don't wake everybody up.
Where are you going at this hour?
I'm worried about what the demoness might do to my family.
I'm going back to Chaoge to take a look.
Shall we tell Nezha?
If he finds out, he'll come along and make trouble
You go ahead. I'll wait for you.
No need I'll be back soon. You go to bed.
Don't worry. Just go to bed. Don't tell Nezha, understand?
Take care.
Fire Wind Wheels, off we go!
Drink this lotus seed and lily tea. It'll brighten your eyes.
Which do you prefer? I'll feed you.
I want nothing! All of you are irritating!
You can't go without food or water, especially when you're expecting.
Why do you eat less than you did?
All of you stuff me with food every day! It's loathsome!
We mean well. Don't blow your top. It might affect the baby growth.
Mother, shall we send for a physician?
I know the imperial physicians well.
Brother, why are you nagging so much?
I've not seen Pipa smile ever since she became pregnant.
She pulls a long face and flares up at the slightest provocation.
Other pregnant women aren't like this. Are you worried?
As if you had been pregnant before!
I was many times more short tempered when I had you.
Pipa is already doing well. Am I right, Pipa?
Brother, if you are so free, go clean the bird's nest.
Can't you get the maids to do it?
No. You'll do it with loving care.
Surely you wouldn't want your baby to live on bird's feathers?
Do it and Pipa will enjoy the bird's nest more.
All right, I'll do it.
Pipa calm down.
Was Nezha telling the truth? Is Pipa really a demoness?
Don't believe Nezha. A demoness wouldn't be able to conceive.
Pipe is three months pregnant. It's a long awaited joy for us.
She's pregnant? It's her first baby. Do ask her to take care.
I know. The other women keep her company and pamper her every day.
But sometimes, she's quick-tempered.
That's only natural. I was like that too. Just give in to her.
I do. We treat her better than we treat the King.
But if she's so quick-tempered, will she get a baby girl?
Women carrying baby girls are more headstrong.
That's not the way to clean bird's nest. I'll help you.
No. Pipa will be unhappy if she knows you did it.
Don't stay for too long. She'll tick me off if she finds out.
Wait a moment.
Jing-ge
What is this pigeon for? Am I to cook it for Pipa?
No. But if you need me, send the pigeon to deliver a note.
Don't ever cook it!
- Be off. - All right. Bye.
Drink less. You're gulping it down as if you were drinking medicine.
Sister, I'm afraid.
I'm feigning pregnancy. What baby can I produce when the time is up?
We're demons. If Jing abandons you, you can always come back here.
Why torture yourself over a man?
Sister, you don't understand. I really love Jing-ge.
Sister, would you use your powers to make me pregnant?
- Fine. - You'll do it?
If a demoness could bear children, then any human could be a demoness.
Don't you agree?
Stop this joke, Sister. I'm really afraid.
Those busybodies take me to temples and medical shops.
If they find out that I'm not pregnant,
what am I going to do?
Sister, please help me. I beg you.
Just look at you. Can't you make merry while you can.
Drink this up and we'll find a solution later.
In the chaotic times,
Zhou Wen Wang launches numerous attacks after assembling the troops,
conquering Sishui Pass, Jiepai Pass, Liao Pass and Lintong Pass.
Yang Jian is a fair and righteous leader of his troops.
Hence, his army is known as the Army of Righteousness.
Mean while unaware of the impending disaster
King Zhou spends all his time on women and the Deer Tower.
Soon, all powers have landed in Daji's hand.
Many court officials petition King Zhou,
beseeching him to negotiate peace with Zhou Wen Wang.
But the petitions are intercepted before they reach the King.
and all the officials are tortured on the burning furnace.
Within 2 months, 106 Officials are tortured.
On the other hand, Jiang Ziya only trains Yang Jian's army
His own army in Jizhou has received no order to make any advance.
Nezha volunteers several times but to no avail.
Instead, Jiang Ziya reads the stars at night,
seemingly waiting for a certain event to occur.
Who's that?
It's you, Sister.
Sorry... I woke you up, Sister
What's happened to you, Sister? You look so pale.
Even your hands are shivering. Are you all right??
I'm fine. I've brought you bird's nest with red lotus.
You've not come for a long while. Surely you have a purpose today?
The Queen and the other ladies are looking at flowers in the garden.
They wish to speak to you.
Lady Su pays, her respects to Your Majesty.
Dispense with ceremony. Please be seated.
Why did you send for me, Your Majesty?
The weather is fine today and I miss chatting with all of you.
Your Majesty, we're women. So come straight to the point.
Majesty.
Sister, you're intelligent No wonder His Majesty dotes on you.
But trouble is brewing in our country.
Yet you insist that His Majesty make merry with you every day.
You're making him too tired to handle the affairs of state.
Your Majesty, you mean...
Please talk His Majesty into concentrating on state affairs.
You've been married to His Majesty for 20 years.
Lady yang used to be his favourite concubine.
Being only his new love, I have no right to advise him
But he spends the most time with you, Sister.
Does it mean that you've not seen him for a long time?
Well, His Majesty can't sleep well anywhere except in my chamber.
I don't think it's a good idea for me to force him to see you.
How about moving in with me? Then you'll see His Majesty every day
and do your best to persuade him.
Given my low intelligence, it's the only idea I can think of.
Sister, trouble is brewing. Please listen to my pleas.
That sounds familiar. I wonder who once used the same words.
How did you treat me then?
Don't turn down an act of kindness.
Shut up.
I have many petitions to peruse. Let me take my leave now.
Look at her arrogance!!
I don't believe she's capable of keeping the King forever!
Sister you're too impetuous. She might hear you.
Why are you so afraid of her? You are the Queen!
Besides, you've been married to the King for 20 years.
Why be afraid of a concubine?
Our scouts reported that Zhou Wen Wang had conquered four passes.
His troops are resting at Mengjin and preparing for the next attack.
Yang Jian, with the four Marquises and their 100,000 strong army,
are marching eastwards all ready to launch a 2-pronged attack on us.
My beauty, so you are here!
My respects to Your Majesty.
I'm craving for wine! Come with me to the Star Pavilion.
The sky is cloudy tonight Can we still see the moon?
How about drinking with me by the wine pools?
Even without the moon, your beauty will be a feast for my eyes.
Your Majesty, how about letting me peruse these petitions first?
All right. I'll wait for you at Star Pavilion.
Why is there a village girl by my wine pools?
Who are you?
Yang Yuqing pays her respects to Your Majesty.
Interesting!
We'll act according to your plan.
Please send scouts to keep a close watch on the enemy troops.
Yes, Your Ladyship.
My respects to Your Ladyship.
Wonderful!
Your Majesty would you come and catch me?
Catch you? That's fun!
Trying to run away? Where can you run to?
Command get me!
You can't run away!
Beauty, you're still up?
I can't get to sleep without you by my side.
Sorry. It was windy at the wine pools.
So I drank some wine to warm myself and eventually dozed off
I'm glad you didn't come.
It must have been hard on you
Not really.
Your Majesty what's the matter?
I feel as if my neck had been hit by arrows.
Jiang Huan, go summon an imperial physician!
Yes, Your Ladyship.
Your Majesty, are you all right?
Don't frighten me. Sit down.
Are you all right?
Your Ladyship, I seek an audience.
A timely arrival. Come and find out what's wrong with His Majesty.
Your Majesty, where does it hurt?
My whole body. It's as if I had been hit by numerous arrows.
Let me reckon what has gone wrong.
Your Majesty, I think you're possessed. Where have you been?
I was... at the wine pool
Where else?
Please tell the truth or he won't be able to help you.
After leaving the wine pool,
I spent a little time at Lady Yang's chamber.
Lady Yang's chamber?
From there, I came here straight.
Looks like the problem lies with Lady Yang.
Impossible. She joined my harem at the age of 13.
She's too innocent to use sorcery on me.
Your Majesty, I wonder if I should tell you something
What is it? Just tell me.
I saw Lady Yang talking at length to a priest in the imperial garden
I stole a glance at the priest and found him to be evil.
It sent a chill down my spine.
Your Majesty, what's the matter?
Search!
Your Majesty, what's the matter? What are you looking for?
Shut up! Move to one side!
Your Majesty, I found this.
What is this? Why are my Eight Characters written there?
Your Majesty, someone has cast a spell on you.
The piercing pain you feel is caused by needles on this effigy.
Your Majesty, Lady Yang really knows barbaric witchcraft.
So this is what you've been using! You're scheming!
Your Majesty...
Slut! How dare you plot against me!
I'm innocent!
Men! Take her away!
Move!
I'm innocent! I didn't do anything to harm you!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty.
His Majesty is the king appointed by Heaven.
Lady Yang, do you plead guilty to using sorcery on His Majesty?
I didn't do it! I don't plead guilty!
You're still unrepentant on the verge of death!
You win, but don't be smug!
My ghost will return to haunt you every night!
Will you? But your hideous face may be beyond recognition.
Daji, you tramp! You'll die a horrible death!
Atrocious! How dare you hurl abuse at my beloved concubine!.
Fatuous king! She'll be your undoing!
- Push her down! - Yes, Your Majesty
Spare my life! Forgive me! I don't want to die!
Do you plead guilty then?
Yes, I plead guilty.
His Majesty is the king appointed by Heaven.
Plotting against him is akin to going against Heaven.
You deserve the most severe punishment
so that no one will do what you did.
This punishment is named Chai Peng
Lady Su, please let me off. I won't repeat my mistake.
I'm willing to be your slave.
You should have pleaded guilty sooner.
I understand...
Push her down!
Your Majesty, where is Lady Yang?
Sister, what's happened to her?
The most cruel punishments were meted out during the Shang Dynasty.
There were thirteen kinds in all.
"Chai Peng" was a special punishment for the imperial harem
or any other woman.
Your Majesty, I dreamt of many, many snakes!
They were crawling all over Lady Yang, biting her!
She screamed in pain! I'm terrified!
Don't be afraid. Ningxiang I'm here with you.
Calm down. Your sister is cruel, but she's your sister after all.
Having grown up with you, she won't do you harm.
Times have changed. I'm so afraid that my nightmare will come true.
What nightmare will come true?
I can't tell anybody. I can't.
It concerns our survival. Why can't you tell me?
I saw... that Sister has a bushy tail.
What?
I looked her up in her palace when she was having a nap.
And I saw that she had a fox's tail!
Why?
I don't know.
But my father saw strange phenomena at her birth.
Knowing that the West Marquis divinations were accurate,
he asked the Marquis to divine for Sister.
She'll be the cause of Shang's downfall?
No wonder West Marquis objected to her coming to the palace.
She's really a demoness.
I must stop this tragedy!
I'll send a letter to Jiang Ziya and ask him not to launch an attack.
We'll destroy Daji and negotiate peace with Jiang Ziya.
Destroy my sister? No!
Ningxiang be rational. She's a fox spirit while we are humans.
Humans and demons are irreconcilable.
To save our people, you have to eliminate your sister.
We're no match for a demoness.
Of course We're only mere mortals.
But I know there's someone who can deal with her.
Who?
Someone with a divine heart.
This may be just an attempt to hold us back. We needn't believe it.
I think the Queen is telling the truth.
If so, she and Lady Ningxiang are no match for Daji.
Whether it's the truth or not, we should march towards Chaoge.
Nezha is right. Our interests are above the enemy's.
I suggest we send our troops at once.
Good! Heavenly King, shall we inspect our troops now?
Fine.
A well trained army indeed.
You're right. Within 3 months, our troops are all ready for battle.
With so much support, success is at hand!
Prime Minister, when shall we set off?
Before we set off, you must do something. Come.
From now oh, I want you to lead your troops
to grow sweet potatoes on this large piece of land!
But why? We have enough food supply
The day of harvest shall be the day of battle.
What has launching an attack got to do with growing sweet potatoes?
Don't probe. The Prime Minister must have a reason.
Convey his orders to disarm and plant sweet potatoes!
Plant sweet potatoes!
Impressive?
Why are you fretting?
Aren't you going to help me after telling me to feign pregnancy?
Some good sister you are!
Didn't I blow at your tummy? See, isn't it growing?
There's even heartbeat. Looks like a baby is growing!
But there's no baby! I still can't produce it when the time is up!
Can't you have a miscarriage?
No way! My husband will blame me all his life!
You don't have to do it yourself. Get someone to do it for you.
The two creatures! They made us molest women in the streets!
They have possessed us and caused us to lose our senses!
Sis-in-law, be careful when you're walking in such a busy street.
It'll be dreadful if someone pushes you.
Mother and Brother will surely reprimand me for taking you out
I don't want to stay at home. It's so boring
Look.
What are Jinzha and Muzha doing there?
Jinzha! Muzha! What are you doing there?
Don't make a scene in the streets!
2nd Mother, we're catching fox spirits!
Fox spirits? Where?
Stop! Do you hear me?
I'm speaking up for you in front of Lady Su! So stop this insanity!
Don't you want to be reinstated?
Don't be angry.
Stop it, boys!
Muzha! What are you doing?
Muzha!
Watch out!
- 2nd Mother! - Are you hurt?
2nd Mother, are you hurt?
I'm in great pain...
Look what you've done! She might lose the baby!
I told you umpteen times to take good care of Madam!
She might lose the baby.
You beasts!
Jing-er, are you mad?
Look what you've done to your second mother! Are you happy?
Physician, can you save her?
If you can't leave and don't waste our time.
Brother, send for an imperial physician.
Your master once said there's a life-saving lingzhi
on Black Wind Mountain.
I'll set out to gather the lingzhi!
But your master said it's guarded by 6-faced monkeys.
It's dangerous, Brother.
I'll brave any danger to save Pipa.
If you find the lingzhi, there'll be hope for Madam and her baby.
Ningshang, take care of Pipa. I'll be back shortly.
What are you standing here for? Come with me!
I'll go with them!
Mother!
Now I understand why you care so much about that man.
He's willing to brave any danger for you.
Aren't you happy?
I am, sister.
Didn't you tell me to fake a miscarriage?
So why did you send them to gather Lingzhi?
Didn't you hear them talking about getting an imperial physician?
Among those top-notch physician
someone might see through your trick.
Since that man cares for you, why not give him some work to do?
He won't give up the idea without making an effort.
What if the find the lingzhi?
Don't worry. Li Jing is the only one capable of finding it.
So long as you keep him by your side,
it's no use even if he sends his whole family to the mountain.
Mother, you stay at home. I'll go with Jinzha and Muzha.
Granny, leave it to us.
Granny, don't worry.
Do you mean I'm useless and should trust you?
Years ago, I was your grandpa's deputy general.
We fought together on the battlefield.
That happened over 40 years ago.
But I'm still going strong.
Madam has woken up but she's crying.
The physicians asking for you.
Go take a look.
Madam, calm down.
Pipa, are you all right? What's the matter?
Sis-in-law, how do you feel?
Pipa, don't frighten me
2nd Mother, calm down.
I don't want to see that scoundrel! He says I'll lose the baby!
What shall we do? Give us a suggestion!
General, hold her tight.
Please save Pipa.
Keep still Don't move.
How do you feel, Pipa?
Jing-ge, we won't lose our baby so easily.
Don't worry. I'll find the lingzhi and save our child
Don't leave me, Jing-ge.
I won't leave you.
Pipa...
What's happened to her?
She's fine.
How is her condition?
She was agitated on hearing that she might lose the baby.
She has a weak constitution
and the trauma sent a sudden rush of blood up her brain
General, only you can soothe her.
If you leave, she might lose control of herself again.
If that happens, not even an immortal could save her.
Even her life will be in danger.
What shall we do?
It takes two days and nights to travel to Black Wind Mountain.
But Jing-er, you have to stay at home. What shall we do?
Father has to stay. What shall we do, Granny?
Think of a way.
What shall we do?
In the next episode, Yin Shiniang, will fight the 6-faced monkeys!
