[General and I]
[Episode 33]
We don't have much time. Rip it apart quickly.
It is such a nice outfit but we are tearing it apart.
We can only hope that this plan will work now.
Zui Ju.
Trust me.
Bei Jie.
Seeing the outfit is as good as seeing you.
Bei Jie, I miss you so much.
He won't die. He promised me he would return.
All people eventually die.
Chu Bei Jie is no exception.
You do not need to lie to me with this.
Although King of Jin has a million reasons to want to kill me
I cannot think of a reason why he would want to kill Prince of Zhenbei.
Assassinating the prince and plotting a rebellion.
Are those not reason enough?
Ping Ting.
Your hero is dead.
Everything has come to an end.
Give up. Leave Mount East country house.
Leave with me.
You, me, and Dong Zhuo.
We'll play the zither, practice our swordsmanship, race our horses.
We'll return to how we once were.
Bei Jie. I don't believe a word he says.
He must have made it up to deceive me.
Come back quickly.
You still haven't tried the steamed cake I made.
How could you be dead?
Prince? What prince?
Are you saying Noble Consort Zhang gave birth to a prince?
Be careful, Your Highness.
Noble Consort is not of child.
Yet, she has a big bump.
Ping Ting.
I know you are still attached to Chu Bei Jie.
However, he is already gone. Do not be upset any longer.
Think of the happy times we once had.
Leave this place of sorrow.
How well did Chu Bei Jie treat you?
He left you alone here at Mount East country house
to face the dangers of wild beasts.
He always places his ambitions before you.
Young Master.
How can Ping Ting still believe you as you are now?
Pretend this was a dream.
Now that the sun has risen. The dream is over.
It is time for you to be the old Ping Ting again.
Forgive me for my suspicious nature. I cannot trust Young Master.
Young Master.
Would you make another wager with me?
What would you like to wager?
I'll send someone to the palace for news. The trip in all will take two days time.
If news comes back that Chu Bei Jie is not dead
then Young Master must withdraw your troops immediately.
If news comes back that he is dead
then I will leave with Young Master.
Prince Consort, you must not!
You are of such distinguished stature.
We have so far remained undetected. It is best to leave as soon as you can.
We have an advantage in power. You can just capture Bai Ping Ting.
Why should you wait another two days?
Since my Ping Ting is still unwilling to give up
then I can only wait.
You.
It seems you will continue to stubborn insist on your own beliefs.
You want two days?
Very well. I will give you two days.
I have already waited 15 years. Two days is nothing compared to that.
Two days later, on this hour, the outcome will be apparent.
That will be when I take you away from here.
Thank you, Young Master.
Withdraw!
Your Highness!
- Your Highness! - Your Highness!
Ping Ting, are you all right?
- Your Highness! - Ping Ting!
Help me inside.
Quickly, come inside.
Ping Ting, are you all right?
I am fine.
I want to be alone.
All right.
Ping Ting!
Bei Jie.
Bei Jie, Bei Jie!
I understand now.
What is it, Ping Ting? What are you saying now? Here.
In the beginning, He Xia and His Majesty settled on a plan to lure them.
His Majesty summoned Bei Jie back to the palace
so that Bai Lan's army could assassinate me.
However, we have all forgotten about Noble Consort Zhang.
His Highness returned to the palace and Noble Consort Zhang framed him.
Once He Xia learned His Highness might die
he no longer needed to kill me.
That's why He Xia personally led
another lot of Bai Lan troops up the mountain.
That is why he so graciously allowed me two days time.
His Majesty made so much effort to bring His Highness back.
If he were to kill His Highness so easily
it would not be worth his while.
Now the only question is if His Majesty will be so furious he loses his reason
over the matter of the young prince.
Will His Highness be in danger?
Zui Ju, do you still remember
you said Noble Consort Zhang did not seem to be of child?
I was holding her hand and could feel her pulse.
However, her pulse did not feel like someone who is pregnant's.
Later on, I was certain I had not read her pulse incorrectly.
Noble Consort Zhang is surely not of child.
If Noble Consort Zhang is not pregnant, then where did this prince come from?
There is certain to be a pile of shocking secrets behind this
and this prince is definitely not His Majesty's own child.
Since there is no prince, then there is no crime of treason.
Mo Ran!
Your Highness.
I want you to go to the palace right away
and report Noble Consort Zhang's fake pregnancy to His Majesty
and request he verify paternity with a blood drop test.
Your Highness, what about He Xia?
It would never occur to anyone that we would know of this matter.
He Xia is extremely conceited.
Since I have an agreement with him and he promised to wait
he certainly will not hinder you from going to the capital for news.
Regardless of whether you can make it back in time to save us
you must first save His Highness.
I will follow Your Highness's orders. I will head to the palace now.
Hold on.
You must be careful.
Yes.
Ping Ting, will he make it in time?
Could His Highness already be in danger in the palace?
No.
No, he won't.
He promised me he would return.
He also said he would travel far away from this state with me.
He won't let me down.
Zui Ju.
I believe in Bei Jie.
You have to believe in me too.
I really do want to be alone.
Prepare some food for me.
We must build up our energy these two days
to wait for His Highness's return.
Yes, I'll go right away.
Safe and sound, I'll come back to you.
Even killed, my love won't die with me.
May I be the star and you the moon.
Night after night, we shine upon each other.
Your Highness.
Do the stars and moon you see shine so brightly as well?
Young Master, isn't this too cruel?
15 years of history. I have already done everything I can.
Isn't giving her two days charitable enough?
No, that is not what I mean.
Young Master, you did not need to make Ping Ting verify the news herself.
Why must you be so cruel and have her confirm this news herself?
Isn't it better to take her away sooner?
Take her away sooner?
Could we be able to?
You know her well.
If it is not news she verifies for herself, she will not trust it.
Let someone she trusts bring back news of Chu Bei Jie's death.
Give her two days time.
Have her experience despair after hope.
Young Master.
Dong Zhuo, do you know?
I've been waiting for Ping Ting's return
ever since Prince of Jing An's Manor was destroyed.
I have been waiting much too long for her to give up on Chu Bei Jie.
Another two days is nothing.
Just wait.
Don't close it.
A breeze will allow me to think clearly.
Sister Bai, His Highness's whereabouts are still unknown.
What if you catch a cold and harm the baby?
Don't worry. Bei Jie will be back.
Why don't you read my pulse and see if this child will be a boy or a girl?
All right.
Ping Ting, I don't want to jump to conclusions
but I think it should be--
It's better not to tell me.
I will wait until the baby is born.
Then I won't say anymore.
If it is a boy
Bei Jie and I will each teach him to wield a sword and read books.
Then what if it is a girl?
If it is a girl, I'll teach her
to recite poetry, admire flowers, and embroider.
She can sew a battle outfit for her husband in the future.
Whether it is a boy or a girl
when they reach the age of four or five
perhaps Bei Jie and I will move to a good place
to make a home and watch them grow up.
Bei Jie and I will drink wine in the morning sun
and play the zither in the setting sun.
When he has free time, he can till the fields
and I will weave and sew by the side.
That sounds so blissful.
If I had never stepped foot into Prince of Jing An's Manor
how wonderful would that be?
Ping Ting.
Right.
Are there enough provisions for the soldiers tomorrow?
There's still food, but there are no more vegetables or meat.
Speaking of which, I wanted to make
Chinese angelica stewed with jujubes for you today
but I discovered we're also out of Chinese angelica.
It's enough that everyone can satisfy their appetites.
It is all right for me to bear with it for two days.
Ping Ting.
It is so late. Who could be knocking?
What is the meaning of this?
Prince Consort said he will wait two whole days.
Not a day more, not a day less.
He also said to have you all eat and drink well
and not to allow any mishaps, or else he will show no mercy.
Please give this to Miss Bai.
- What is this? - She will know when she gets it.
I have delivered it to you so I will take my leave now.
Farewell.
I extorted him with these 15 years of affection.
He used these 15 years of affection to entice me.
It's been 15 years.
We have both changed.
By the emperor's decree
Chu Bei Jie harbored intent to murder the prince.
He must be sentenced to death for his crime of treason.
He is to be sent to the execution grounds in two days
and beheaded in public.
By the emperor himself.
Chu Bei Jie, are you not receiving the decree?
Chief Eunuch, you are outside, while I am inside.
How am I to receive the decree?
Chu Bei Jie.
Can you receive the decree now?
What are you doing?
Chu Bei Jie, what are you doing?
Guards! Guards!
Don't come closer!
Shut up!
If you want to live, do not stand in my way.
Quickly, quickly!
Stop him!
Reporting, Your Majesty. Terrible news.
Chu Bei Jie has escaped from the dungeons.
What?
He was locked up in the dungeons. How could he escape?
Has he been caught?
I have already sent men to capture him.
Chu Bei Jie is highly skilled in martial arts.
All dungeon guards are injured or dead.
We are truly no match for him.
Moreover, Chu Bei Jie was extremely out of control. He actually...
He left some words on the wall.
Left words?
What did he leave?
Speak quickly.
Chu Bei Jie wrote...
"Zhang has not given up evil intentions."
"Take care, Your Majesty."
You.
Go and seal off all information immediately.
Do not allow news of Chu Bei Jie's escape to spread.
Go quickly!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Wait.
I have one more thing for you to do.
Set up an ambush on the road to Mount East.
If you encounter Chu Bei Jie, only capture him, do not kill.
Do not mention the situation at Mount East.
Also, quickly send news to He Xia that Prince of Zhenbei has been beheaded.
Send this by pigeon post to Dragon-Tiger Troop's Chen Mou right away.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty! What is the matter?
- Anyone there? - Your Majesty!
- Someone, come quickly!
- Your Majesty! - Call for the Imperial Physician!
It will be His Highness's birthday in a month.
I am waiting to celebrate with you on that day.
I will give you a big present.
Ping Ting, wait for me.
I am acting under orders.
Your Highness, please forgive me for any offense.
Do not resist, Your Highness. Let us capture you.
We have already set up a trap. Do not make our jobs difficult.
Chen Mou.
His Majesty wishes to capture me. I dare not defy his wishes.
I cannot bear to fight against my fellow comrades.
I only request that you allow me to verify my family's safety.
I will then allow myself to be seized and you may take me to His Majesty.
I cannot defy His Majesty's orders. Your Highness, this is not up to me.
Please come with us.
Since you are unwilling to make an exception
then please forgive me.
[Weipin Boutique]
The day I return is drawing near.
I want to give her a present.
Princess Consort is so fortunate to have Your Highness personally select a gift.
Quickly, quickly!
Hurry!
Forgive me, Your Highness.
Your Highness, do not make our jobs difficult.
What are you doing?
I truly do not wish to see you two fight any longer.
Remember this well.
Nothing has been decided yet.
He is still our Prince of Zhenbei.
Treat him well.
Yes.
Chief Eunuch, has His Majesty been feeling better lately?
He is still the same.
Come.
Chief Eunuch Feng.
Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Li has come to read your pulse.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
- Rise. - Yes.
Please allow me to read Your Majesty's pulse.
- Come. - Yes.
- How is it? - There is no news yet.
Could something have happened?
Do not speak such nonsense. You'll be punished if Her Highness hears.
Your Highness.
Is there news?
Based on Your Highness's pulse, there is nothing to be concerned about.
Take the medication I prescribe.
Then Your Highness will have a restful sleep.
What do I need this medication for?
As long as you are here, I can rest assured.
Your Highness places such importance in me, a humble servant.
I will surely not hesitate to take any risk for Your Highness.
That is pleasing to hear.
My mind suddenly feels free.
I will surely help Your Highness fulfill your wishes.
Did His Majesty have a routine pulse reading today?
I've heard His Majesty threw up blood again today.
This is an extremely rare opportunity.
I will take advantage of the situation and make it seem inevitable.
Nobody will suspect us.
This will be the medication needed to cure Your Highness.
Then I will be waiting for your medication.
Go right now
so I won't have to worry another night more.
Your Highness, are you having trouble sleeping tonight as well?
I can't sleep.
Why don't I make a calming decoction for Your Highness?
No need.
I'd rather find something to do.
Has it been prepared?
Yes, everything was prepared according to your orders.
Bring it here.
How is it?
Do I have the demeanor of an empress dowager?
- Greetings, Queen Dowager. - Greetings, Queen Dowager.
Your Highness's beauty will stun all at the Queen Dowager inauguration.
I had originally only wanted
to live a normal life.
I wanted a husband who cherished me
and a group of children crowding around me all day long.
Who would have known
I would be here now?
Anyone?
Anyone!
Anyone there!
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, how come it is you?
If not I, who did you think it was?
Your Majesty arrived without announcement.
I had thought it was an intruder.
An intruder?
You must be disappointed that I have not been killed.
Your Majesty.
How could I possibly have such treasonous thoughts?
That terrifies me.
Do you know why
you have been able to live to this day, even though your father is dead?
My father committed a crime that implicates our entire clan.
The reason I am able to live to this day
is naturally because Your Majesty loves our son
and does not want him to lose his mother.
The prince?
Is that my child?
Your Majesty, the prince is naturally your child.
I gave birth to him after carrying him in my womb for ten months.
Look at how much he looks like Your Majesty.
Even at this stage, you still won't admit it?
What am I to admit?
What treasonous act have I committed
for Your Majesty to have such a misunderstanding about me?
A loyal act to the end.
You take me for a child.
Do not blame me for being merciless.
Did you think without my instruction
Imperial Physician Li would dare to have illicit relations in my harem with you?
Ever since Chancellor Zhang coerced me into deceiving Your Majesty
I have felt uneasy and troubled.
My guilty conscience torments me.
My mother and I have relied on each other ever since I was a child.
Chancellor Zhang had sent men to my home to look after my 80-year-old mother.
I was not in my right mind at the time and allowed myself to be manipulated.
After all is said and done, I've committed a big crime.
I could only report this to Your Majesty after Chancellor Zhang's death today.
I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please have mercy.
Please spare my life.
It is good that you know you have done wrong.
I can spare your life.
However, you will have to do something for me.
You will continue to attend to Noble Consort.
Since the show has started
I would like to watch it to its end.
He works for me.
I already knew about the fake pregnancy.
I just wanted to see what you would do.
Yet, you still dare to protest, you immoral wench!
No.
That is impossible.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
Imperial Physician Li speaks lies about me.
I have never done anything to wrong Your Majesty.
He must be claiming false charges against me to seek merit.
Please investigate this, Your Majesty!
Investigate?
How else do you want this investigated?
Do you want the exact dates of your trysts with him
listed out clearly and precisely?
Even if you do not find it humiliating, I do!
This is the result of my investigation.
I am well aware of your doings.
You colluded with the enemy
harmed the prince, and framed a devoted subject.
These offenses
are sufficient to sentence you to death by dismemberment a million times!
