[General And I]
[Episode 14]
If Miss Bai won't accept it, it means you look down on me!
Miss Bai, please accept it!
In all of Great Liang, only the few of us who followed your lead
in the battle of Kanbu City knew how you resolved the crisis
that could have vanquished our nation.
Only the few of us know just how this battle shook us to the core.
Our capes are stained with the blood of our sacrificed brothers.
There's also the admiration and respect we have for Miss Bai.
Please accept our capes.
If you do so, it is too much for me to bear.
This is a token of gratitude
and also our pledge to go through life and death with you.
Miss Bai!
Miss Bai, please accept it!
- Yes! Accept it! - Miss Bai!
- Miss Bai, please accept it! - Please accept it!
Miss Bai, please accept it!
I will take your kindness to heart.
I shall never forget the battle of Kanbu City.
Our gratitude to Miss Bai shall last a lifetime!
I hope that we shall never become enemies on the battlefield.
We have the same wish as you do.
The war is over.
The king has given orders to escort Miss Bai
to Guzang City to be rewarded.
Miss Bai, could you return the tally to me?
It should be rightfully done.
I suddenly feel liberated now that I've given you the tally.
I feel so much more relaxed.
It takes about five days to travel from Jiankang City to Kanbu City.
This means the king of Jin must have been in a coma for five or six days.
In a coma?
What is the matter?
But we didn't hear that King of Jin has been in a coma.
Didn't the army of Jin retreat because
King of Jin fell into a coma and the capital was in chaos?
Their capital was not in chaos because Sima Hong is in a coma.
It's because two young princes
under the age of 10 both died from poison.
But Miss Bai does have a point.
All of Jin State's possible successors to the throne are tempted.
Sima Hong should pass out from anger.
Exactly!
Miss Bai had such a great strategy.
I have a formula that could make someone pass out for 10 days.
It can't be detected in any way.
Your Majesty, please have this sent to Jin State's palace swiftly.
I won't hurt you.
I won't hurt anyone who is related to you.
- Miss Bai is remarkable. - Exactly!
- Miss Bai! - Miss Bai!
Ping Ting!
General Wei, get a doctor immediately!
Yes!
Ping Ting.
Ping Ting, wake up quickly!
Ping Ting!
Ping Ting.
Ping Ting, wake up quickly.
Ping Ting.
Ping Ting!
Ping Ting, it's Yang Feng.
Can you see me?
Yang Feng...
Ping Ting, I'm right here.
I'm right by your side.
Yang Feng...
You were fine when you went out.
Why did you end up like this when you returned?
I have let him down.
Ping Ting.
Young Master?
What are you doing here?
Yang Feng.
I'd like to speak to Young Master in private.
He's been waiting here for days.
Have a good chat.
Ping Ting.
I haven't seen you for a few days.
Look at you.
You've lost weight.
Young Master must have already met King of Liang since you're here.
What do you mean by that?
I should have known. No one else but you
would know about the secret of that drug.
Come to your senses.
I should.
We came up with that formula together.
Although it can't kill a healthy adult, it is deadly to children.
How could you...
King of Liang instigated it.
I had nothing to do with it.
I didn't make him kill the two children.
Indeed.
All you had to do was let slip the secret to King of Liang.
The two young princes of Great Jin would then be killed.
I had no other choice.
That was my last resort.
This is a competition between two strong opponents.
Putting Sima Hong in a coma isn't enough to cause chaos in Jin.
The state would just be without a leader.
However, if the two princes, the only two princes of Great Jin, died
the nation would then reach its end.
It won't survive for long.
That's not all that Young Master has been planning all this time.
If a strategy only leads to one goal, how is it still a strategy?
My goal is to frame Chu Bei Jie
for indirectly causing the deaths of both princes.
What use are his merits in Great Jin?
This one mistake is enough to get him killed.
How will Sima Hong treat him?
How long could Chu Bei Jie live?
Ping Ting.
Haven't you already betrayed me?
Weren't you willing to leave with Chu Bei Jie?
Weren't you willing to get all cozy with him?
From now on, I'd like to see how you could still snuggle up to him.
Young Master has taken every possibility into account.
You tricked us all.
Prince of Jing An's family is my benefactor.
I will take the blame for you this time.
I will take on the consequences.
But this will also be the last time I serve Young Prince of Jing An.
From this day forth, I'm no longer related to you or your family.
Take care.
I already said it before my parents' tomb.
You and I... all ties severed.
This is Great Liang.
It's inconvenient for you to linger.
I am also injured.
I can't attend to you.
Please head back soon, Your Highness.
You already know too much, Ping Ting.
I should...
Have you killed.
If you wish to kill me in order to save yourself
do so now. Kill me.
No... I won't.
I would never lay a finger on you.
I want you to see how the deaths of the two princes
will get between you and Chu Bei Jie.
I want to see how both of you can still trust each other.
Can he still trust you?
As long as there is still one person who believes in me
I can die without any regret.
Die without regret? Indeed.
We will wait and see.
Nurse your injuries.
There's still a long way to go.
Young Master!
Young Master.
- Where is Sister Ping Ting? - Shut up.
Young Master! Why?
What has she done wrong?
Why can't you forgive her?
Young Master!
Ping Ting.
Why are you packing?
What happened?
I have to leave now.
For no reason? Where are you going?
You're still injured!
Yang Feng.
I have to go home now.
You're going home?
What did Young Prince of Jing An say to you?
Why didn't you leave with him?
I no longer belong to Prince of Jing An's Manor.
If you and Ze Yin should run into He Xia again
you must be very cautious.
He is no longer who he used to be.
There's bound to be bloodshed in the future because of him.
All right now.
You don't have to be so worried either.
You have to take good care of yourself.
Take good care of your unborn child.
Now that the war has come to an end
you and Chief General will be able to enjoy some peaceful days.
What exactly do you mean by saying all this to me?
Didn't you say that you're going to live here?
You would never part with me?
Silly Yang Feng.
You should be happy for me.
You have found your Ze Yin.
I have also found the one I love.
I'm going to him now.
The two young princes were killed because of me.
I shall carry this guilt with me always.
I cannot undo what has been done.
I will definitely pay for my sins in my next life.
I hereby make my offerings to you
in hope that both princes can rest in peace.
Farewell.
Come out here!
Killing children and women? Is that all you can do?
Miss Bai.
We're just carrying out orders.
However, I do have an important appointment to make.
I can't allow you to report back. Pardon me.
Who is it?
Who sent you here?
Speak!
Chief General!
Don't be scared. I won't kill you.
Head back and tell your master to kill me himself.
Leave now.
Miss Bai, as a general of Liang State
I can't send soldiers without the king's permission.
Hence, I couldn't escort you yesterday.
It has put you in grave danger.
Everyone who showed up today
has fought alongside you in Kanbu City.
We're only here because of our friendship.
It's our personal matter. It's only right to do so.
Brothers!
We'll escort Miss Bai to Great Jin!
We'll offer her our assistance!
Yes!
Thank you, Chief General.
Miss Bai is too polite.
- Your Highness! - Your Highness, you threw up blood!
Your Highness, you threw up blood!
- She coughed out the medication! - Get lost!
Quack doctors!
- How did you treat her? - Spare us, Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty....
Queen.
How are you feeling?
Your Majesty.
No medication can cure me of my illness.
It isn't that the imperial physicians aren't skilled enough.
Your Majesty.
Don't take any innocent lives.
Queen, don't be too worried.
You're just grieving.
That is why you became so ill suddenly.
You will be fine if you take proper treatment.
Don't worry.
The harem is not big.
Noble Consort has already had the premises investigated.
I'll seek out the culprit even if I have to dig three feet under.
I won't let my two sons die wronged deaths.
Report!
Noble Consort asked Your Majesty to come to Imperial Dungeon right away.
She said that the culprit was arrested.
Mind the steps.
Your Majesty.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
We have already caught the villain who killed the princes.
I dared not make any decisions.
I've asked Your Majesty here to make a judgment.
Your Majesty.
It's him?
Your Majesty, it is indeed him.
He's the eunuch who is in charge of the princes' meals in their halls.
We found him hiding in the dried-up well of the imperial garden.
He refused to confess at first.
He finally came clean after I had him interrogated.
He already confessed to poisoning the princes.
Speak!
Who gave you the poison?
Speak!
Think carefully.
What are the consequences if you don't come clean?
Your family...
They should still be in the capital.
I've seen many times how people are killed
when they are of no use to their masters.
Your master might not care about the lives of your family.
Bai... Bai Ping Ting.
It was Bai Ping Ting.
She is the commander-in-chief of Liang State's army.
She gave me the drug.
Step aside!
Your Majesty.
It's getting late.
You should get some rest soon.
Please take the azoth before Your Majesty goes to bed.
I can still remember clearly
what both princes looked like when they were born.
I could often hear them calling out to me.
How is it that we're now separated by death?
We can never see each other again.
I never thought that I would witness the deaths of my children.
I might have the world to myself, but I failed to protect those closest to me.
Isn't it pointless to live long?
Your Highness.
You're in your prime.
You need not be so upset.
You will still have more children.
More children?
But not from me and the queen.
At such a time, I should be by her side to offer her comfort.
But when I see her, I think of our two innocent sons who were killed.
When they were alive, I never truly cared for them.
As of today, how could I still have the cheek to face her and console her?
Your Majesty.
Don't worry.
I will take care of the queen.
However, you are the ruler of Great Jin.
You still need to look after your health.
It isn't that you didn't care for the princes
but that Bai Ping Ting is too ruthless.
Who would have thought that she could harm two children?
Bai Ping Ting...
I don't think this matter is as simple as it seems.
Your Majesty, we can't let the princes turn in their graves.
Bai Ping Ting is from Yan State.
Why would she be the commander-in-chief of Liang State?
What is she really up to?
What is your opinion?
I do not dare say it.
Speak your mind.
I will absolve you of any offense.
I'm afraid that it has to do with Prince of Zhenbei.
I heard that during the battle of Kanbu City, he...
He was up against an empty city. He should have won.
He actually retreated 30 miles because of Bai Ping Ting.
He lost to her willingly.
Fine.
Summon your father to the palace.
I need to assign him a task.
Yes.
After this battle, both Jin and Great Liang suffered huge setbacks.
It's only a matter of time before
Bai Lan State is in command of the world again.
General.
Bai Ping Ting was rescued.
All of our men were killed.
Why are you still alive?
Miss Bai... asked me to send you a message.
She said if you wish to kill her, do so yourself.
Useless scum.
Deliver this letter swiftly to the princess.
- Make no mistakes. - Yes!
Your Highness, there's news from the palace.
The murderer of the princes was caught.
It's a young eunuch.
However...
A young eunuch?
However?
After the interrogation, the young eunuch gave up
the name of the mastermind.
The person who ordered him to do so is Liang State's commander-in-chief
Bai Ping Ting.
What?
Prince of Zhenbei! Receive the decree!
By the decree of the king
the capital is in mourning for the young princes.
As the army carries an aura of violence
it's best for the army not to enter the capital.
All troops and horses are to be stationed here.
Prince of Fulang will take over.
By the emperor himself.
Chu Bei Jie accepts the decree!
Prince of Zhenbei has finally returned.
His Majesty has ordered me to welcome Your Highness personally.
You must talk His Majesty out of grieving when you see him.
His health must not be affected.
Thank you for the reminder, Chancellor.
After you.
Your Highness!
Your Highness, allow me to accompany you into the capital!
All personal subordinates need not stay here.
You can follow Prince of Zhenbei into the palace.
His Majesty will reward you himself.
Chancellor.
Can you answer a question of mine?
Ask away.
I will answer honestly.
Do you think that I have anything to do with the princes' deaths?
Well...
Has my manor been sealed off already?
You...
Chancellor Zhang!
Is this what His Majesty wanted?
Chu Bei Jie!
You think that by killing the princes, His Majesty would have no heir
so you could have the throne?
You're sick to the core!
Such wishful thinking!
His Majesty is wise. He already figured out
the ruthless conspiracy between you and that witch!
I'll be honest with you.
Your manor is indeed sealed off.
All of your aides in the capital have been arrested.
If it hadn't been for your past kinship
His Majesty wouldn't have lured you into the palace to be punished.
If not, why would I miss the chance to kill you?
Shut up!
His Highness's loyalty is clear to all!
How could you slander him so!
Mo Ran!
Put down your swords!
Your Highness!
Put them down!
For the sake of His Highness, I'll spare your damn life for now!
What are you doing?
All of you...
Listen up!
All of you are on the books!
His Majesty has given orders! The entire clan
of whoever supports the traitor will be wiped out!
These are but ordinary soldiers.
They have nothing to do with conspiracies in the palace.
Chancellor, you need not threaten them.
I won't rise in mutiny today.
I will head into the capital to seek audience with His Majesty.
Just me and my horse.
Your Highness!
You mustn't!
Your Highness!
I am willing to enter the capital with you to explain to His Majesty!
We're willing to enter the capital with Your Highness!
You... All of you...
Are you all going to rebel?
The two young princes were Great Jin's heirs to the throne.
Now they were murdered by villains and died young. It is a serious case.
I'm afraid that the imperial court is already very much shaken by it.
Not to mention how much this affected His Majesty.
We must get to the bottom of this case.
Do not forget.
We rode day and night back here to prevent
treacherous villains from using this case against us
and causing chaos within Great Jin.
This will give foreigners a chance to invade us.
Since there are clues that hinted at my involvement
it's only normal that I am to be questioned.
Don't worry.
His Majesty is a wise man.
He will surely prove me innocent.
He won't implicate others.
- Your Highness! - Mo Ran, obey my command!
I... obey the command!
Lead the army and station them outside the city.
Await orders from His Majesty.
You're not to take any action.
You're the soldiers of Great Jin.
You have to fight for the safety of Great Jin and His Majesty.
But not for me.
Whatever news you receive
you're not to act against this principle.
Otherwise, your actions would only damn, not help, me.
Mo Ran.
Do you understand?
I... understand!
Chancellor.
Truth or lies, right and wrong.
It will all be clarified once I see His Majesty.
Let's go.
Prince of Zhenbei is indeed straightforward.
After you.
I've heard of Noble Consort's beauty, and now that I've witnessed it...
A well-deserved reputation indeed.
Prince of Jing An is a young hero.
I've also long admired you.
Your Highness just assisted King of Liang in defeating our army.
Now, you're supported by the princess of Bai Lan State.
You are reinforced and have also gained much from both sides.
What a promising future you have.
I'm too flattered by Noble Consort.
However, in Great Jin, it is still Chancellor Zhang who has a huge network.
Then there's Noble Consort assisting from within the palace.
There's simply nothing that we can't accomplish
in and out of the imperial court.
Although Your Highness isn't from Jin State
you do know Great Jin very well.
Your Highness does receive information from everywhere. How impressive.
It is Bai Lan State's Princess Yao Tian who truly is remarkable.
She has told me much in detail.
When she visited Great Jin previously
she had a pleasant conversation with the chancellor.
They agreed on many matters right away.
We thought that we wouldn't get much of an effect with these plans
but little did we expect to see such great results so soon.
100,000 gold taels.
Who knew that would get us such great results?
Thank you, Noble Consort.
You're too kind, Your Highness.
We each took what we needed.
It's cold and lonely within the palace walls.
There isn't a hint of friendship.
Only royal power could bring us some warmth.
My father surely doesn't care about 100,000 gold taels.
The real terms of our deal are to have Bai Lan State assist my family
in attaining power to the throne.
Now, we have a mutual enemy.
We do have a mutual enemy.
I'm just concerned that Noble Consort might not bear to get rid of him.
You investigated me?
Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated.
I have to be extremely cautious in collaborating with Your Highness.
However, we're now in the same boat.
You won't blame me.
I've heard that Your Highness and Chu Bei Jie go way back.
If King of Jin and his queen hadn't hindered you
you'd have been happily married to Chu Bei Jie by now.
Your Highness?
You seem to be quite agitated when I mention Chu Bei Jie.
Could it be that you kept him alive because of your feelings for him?
It's Chu Bei Jie's fault for not cherishing Your Highness.
He should treat you kindly. This is all his fault.
Your Highness.
This man must be removed.
If not, neither of us could truly feel at ease.
What do you intend to do?
According to what I know, Bai Ping Ting has entered Jin State
with a troop of Liang State's soldiers.
She wants to rescue Chu Bei Jie.
I believe that there's no need to elaborate on
how important she is to Chu Bei Jie.
Noble Consort, this is a rare opportunity.
Don't miss out on it.
I don't care what it is you are after.
If you collaborate with me, you must agree to my condition.
Do tell.
I want Bai Ping Ting dead.
