[General and I]
[Episode 36]
Rest here for a while. I'll look for food.
Here, sit.
Ping Ting, do you feel better now?
Ping Ting, Young Master had me put these books on the shelves for you.
They are all your favorites.
Young Master was afraid you would feel lonely.
You can see if they are to your satisfaction.
If you find anything lacking, I can find it for you.
Is Young Master not afraid Princess will find out he has hidden me here?
That...
Ping Ting, have a look around later.
See if there is anything missing. I will buy it for you.
Everything is newly moved in, so there might be some things we missed.
When did you start playing dumb with me too?
Ping Ting.
All right, I won't hold back then.
Help me buy these medicinal herbs.
Ping Ting, it looks like these are all restorative ingredients.
Is that right?
Yes, you should build up your health.
The journey was so bumpy. You have slimmed down considerably.
Young Master said to supply whatever you need
and ensure that you are comfortable here.
Young Master also said--
"Young Master said." Everything is "Young Master said."
If he really were good to Ping Ting, he wouldn't have kidnapped her here.
You...
Ping Ting, that really is not Young Master's intention.
- He just-- - Enough. I understand.
I won't go outside.
- Ping Ting. - Dong Zhuo, hurry and buy those herbs.
I don't feel at ease leaving the task to someone else.
Ping Ting, make yourself comfortable. I'll go buy the ingredients now.
Go, go. Hurry up.
Ping Ting.
Are we really staying here?
This place is tightly guarded. We have no hope of escaping.
As time goes on, your stomach will show.
Lately, my stomach pain has intensified.
I'm afraid changes will occur.
However, there will be someone who will look for what has been hidden.
We cannot escape, but we can wait for someone to find us.
Zui Ju, give me acupuncture.
He Xia must not know I am with child.
No!
My hands will shake. I can't do it.
Zui Ju.
I am asking you because I know you can do it.
As things stand now, I will have to take the risk.
I just hope Bei Jie's spirit...
will bless me and my child.
The needles can only guarantee a false pulse reading for three days.
If you want He Xia to never know
you'll have to endure the needles continuously.
As time goes on, your body will not be able to withstand it.
For the sake of the child
for my and Bei Jie's child
I will definitely be able to withstand it.
Trust me.
[Prince Consort's Manor]
Prince Consort, a husband and wife should be united.
No matter what happens
I don't wish for you to hide anything from me
because of my identity as the princess.
I understand.
In private, we are a normal husband and wife.
I surely won't hide anything.
That is good.
All right, it's getting late. Hurry back.
I am going now.
You must keep in mind what I just told you.
I remember. Go on.
Stop.
Princess.
Convey my orders. The entire city is to be put under surveillance.
If any suspicious persons are found in relation to Prince Consort's Manor
report to me immediately.
Yes.
Convey my orders to increase the number of guards.
Nobody is to enter or exit the courtyard.
If you find anybody suspicious, you know what to do.
Yes.
Miss.
Miss, please go back inside.
Ping Ting, Ping Ting!
Ping Ting! What are you doing?
This is very dangerous.
This is only a nourishing tonic to a normal person.
Even if He Xia inspects the remains, he won't find anything suspicious.
However, this tonic acts quickly.
I may feel lightheaded in a bit or even faint.
Zui Ju.
We are making a mighty gamble.
Nothing must go wrong.
Ping Ting.
Take this miscarriage prevention pill.
There is not much time left. I will get going.
Zui Ju.
Remember not to be rash, regardless of what happens.
Protect yourself first.
Don't worry. Wait for me.
Someone come! Anyone!
Ping Ting is sick! Open the doors quickly!
Aren't you a physician? Treat her yourself.
I am just a maid who knows a little about medicine!
I can't treat severe illnesses!
Call someone here quickly, or else it will be too late!
Over there!
Quick! Stop right there!
Catch her! Don't let her escape!
Stop right there!
Quick, don't let her run away!
These were all the ingredients she asked for?
That is all. Ping Ting asked me to buy the herbs myself.
I looked it over and didn't find anything suspicious
so I went to the store and bought the best quality herbs.
However, I still felt worried, so I came to let you have a look.
These are just common ingredients for nourishing the chi and blood.
That's great.
Young Master, does this mean Ping Ting wants to live?
I hope so.
Dong Zhuo.
Do not let down your guard.
Understood.
This is great. Now I can relax.
Young Master, I'll be going now.
Hold on.
Young Master, what is it?
If one day...
you turn into someone you don't even recognize as yourself
would you still insist on pursuing the things you once wanted?
My mother always told me to never forget my original intentions.
I believe every person should live for that happiness from the beginning.
Happiness from the beginning.
How wonderful would it be if I could return to the beginning?
By the way, Princess must already know.
Princess knows Ping Ting is here?
Will she be in danger?
Young Master, we must not let her be in danger.
I won't let Ping Ting die.
Although I understand I cannot burn the candle at both ends..
Of the two of them...
one of them saved me from untold miseries
while the other once shared weal and woe with me.
They are both the most important people in my life.
Report!
- Greetings, Your Highness. - What is it?
Your Highness, His Majesty ordered me to deliver this to you.
Please tell His Majesty that I understand.
I absolutely will not fail in my mission.
Yes.
Your Highness, what does His Majesty mean?
This fierce tiger represents me
and this phoenix hairpin stands for Princess Yao Tian.
His Majesty wants us to advance straight to the capital of Bai Lan.
Princess, Princess.
Wake up quickly.
Lu Yi, what time is it?
Princess, there is news of Bai Ping Ting.
Is there?
Where is she right now?
She is indeed in Bai Lan
situated in a courtyard house in the western suburbs by Prince Consort.
I heard she suddenly fell severely ill
and the lady who was with her stole out of the house in the night
supposedly to find medication.
Prince Consort's men could not stop her.
Why did she suddenly fell ill?
I do not know the specifics.
For there to be so much activity going on, she must be severely ill.
Has Prince Consort's Manor been alerted?
When our people found out, they were held back.
Prince Consort's Manor has not been alerted.
Prince Consort has gone too far this time.
Not only did he not kill her, but he also brought her back secretly.
Prince Consort must have his reasons for doing so.
I never said to kill Bai Ping Ting either.
Besides, she was not brought back in secret.
On the way back, who in the army did not know there was a woman in the carriage?
Prince Consort has already shown respect for me by situating her elsewhere.
That will not do.
I thought Prince Consort was very considerate of your needs.
How could he do something so dishonorable?
I'll have someone drive her away.
Nonsense.
Princess.
His guests are my guests.
If a guest lives elsewhere
who will bear the responsibility should something happen?
The palace is not fit for outsiders to stay.
I think Bai Ping Ting should be moved to Prince Consort's Manor.
Have the men from Prince Consort's Manor who were held back move her.
Have someone keep a tight watch. Do not miss a single person.
In addition, send the imperial physician to Prince Consort's Manor for treatment.
- That's... - Go quickly.
Yes.
Don't move.
Come.
By Princess's word, Bai Ping Ting is Prince Consort's distinguished guest
and should be treated with hospitality.
Miss Bai is invited to move to Prince Consort's Manor
for treatment by an imperial physician.
You are to set out immediately without delay.
Ping Ting, it is as you expected.
Princess has received news and has sent someone for us.
Ping Ting, do you still feel unwell?
Zui Ju, I...
What did you say?
Don't worry, I can make it through this.
You're so feverish.
Princess heard Miss Bai has fallen ill and is worried.
She has asked me to invite Miss Bai to Prince Consort's Manor
and hopes you will not refuse.
I thank you on behalf of Miss Bai.
Please hurry.
Come, bring in the stretcher.
- Yes. - Yes.
It would be inappropriate for men to move her. I'll do it.
Come on.
Watch out!
The door frame is not a major concern, but what if you injure Ping Ting?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Be careful with what you're doing. How could you be so careless?
Princess.
Is Imperial Physician Zhang at Prince Consort's Manor yet?
He is on the way.
How is Bai Ping Ting's illness?
It seems quite severe.
She was unconscious when Xiao Lizi picked her up.
She had to be carried out on a stretcher by the men Xiao Lizi brought.
Why was she so unlucky to fall ill?
Yes, if she had not fallen ill, she would have been hard to track down.
Even the heavens are helping you, Princess.
She must arrive soon.
She should be almost there.
Then let's go visit her.
Yes.
Young Master, is Ping Ting all right?
Wasn't she doing fine? How come she suddenly fell sick?
- How did Princess-- - What are you rambling about?
You're asking me?
I had you look after her and this is what happens.
Young Master, I...
It is my fault for not taking care of Ping Ting properly.
Please punish me, Young Master.
Prince Consort.
Imperial Physician, how is she?
This lady's pulse is at times both strong and weak.
Although she is very feeble
the illness has not penetrated very deep and she is not in any serious danger.
I heard this lady is not a native.
I believe she is not acclimated to the surroundings
causing her to be in weaker health and thus eventually fainted.
Yes, it is as the imperial physician said.
Ping Ting was previously injured and has been especially frail.
After coming to Bai Lan, she lost her appetite and has trouble sleeping.
This did not happen before.
I believe she is not acclimated as the imperial physician says.
Yes, yes.
It is not abnormal for a foreigner to have trouble adjusting.
It will take some time for her to adapt. She is in no danger.
I will give her a prescription for replenishing chi and she will be fine.
Good. Thank you, Imperial Physician.
Not at all. This is my duty.
What do you think of this?
Princess didn't seize or arrest her.
Instead, she sent her directly to Prince Consort's Manor.
I do not understand Princess's intentions.
Prepare a horse. I'm going to see her.
Your Highness, Princess's chariot is at the front gate.
- What? - So soon?
Young Master, Ping Ting is still inside. What should we do?
What are you panicking for?
Since she is here, we will invite her in.
- Welcome, Princess. - Welcome, Princess.
Prince Consort, how is Miss Bai faring?
She is still unconscious.
Imperial Physician Zhang has seen her and says she is in no serious danger.
Why did she suddenly fall ill?
Take me to see her.
Thank you, Imperial Physician.
- Greetings, Your Highness. - Greetings, Your Highness.
Do rise.
- Thank you, Your Highness. - Thank you, Your Highness.
This is Miss Bai?
Her looks are truly extraordinary. She looks like a fairy.
She is a beauty, but she looks too thin and weak.
She must have suffered a lot.
Imperial Physician Zhang.
Princess.
What is wrong with this lady?
Your Highness, this lady is not in any serious danger.
She merely has not adapted to the new environment, leading to fainting.
If it is such a simple reason, then how come she still has not woken up?
I heard this lady was once critically injured
and is more frail than others.
She has both chi and blood deficiencies and often has trouble sleeping.
She must be making up for the sleep she has missed.
It is normal for her to sleep a few more hours.
She should be awake in another two to four hours.
As long as she is not in any danger, then I feel relieved.
If circumstances change for this lady in the next few days
we'll have to trouble Imperial Physician for a few more visits.
If Your Highness has any orders for me, I will not hesitate to assist
and will not have any complaints.
Thank you, Imperial Physician.
Princess, I shall take my leave now.
Farewell, Imperial Physician.
You can be at ease now that Miss Bai's condition is not serious.
However, why didn't you tell me sooner, Prince Consort?
I could have moved her here sooner.
With more people to look after her
and an imperial physician to prescribe her tonics
she would not have had to suffer so much.
Princess, she was formerly a maid of mine.
I saw that she was alone and in poor health
so that is why I thought of taking her in.
I was planning on sending her on her way after she was in better health
but I never imagined you would move her into the manor.
Princess, you really do not need to go through so much trouble for her.
How could you say that, Prince Consort?
That would be fine if she were a normal maid.
However, she is the world-renowned Bai Ping Ting.
She is the legendary woman whom I've not had the chance to meet before.
Due to the strict rules of the palace
I could not move her there.
Thankfully, I was able to meet her through you.
In this case, we must keep her here and look after her.
My actions were rude and impetuous.
I must ask you to please forgive me.
Not at all. Princess, you are much more magnanimous than I am.
I was worrying too much.
Do not worry, Prince Consort. I absolutely will not treat her unfairly.
Lu Yi.
Present.
Go to the palace and pick a few clever and quick-witted maids
and send them here to attend to Miss Bai.
Yes.
Princess.
Ping Ting is just a commoner.
Don't you think...
Prince Consort, I think Miss Bai must not know anyone in Bai Lan other than you.
How could you bear to let her stay elsewhere?
Moreover, these servants are very clumsy. How could they take good care of her?
Rest assured, Prince Consort.
I know what kind of person you are.
You must be thinking of your affection as master and servant back in the day.
How could I not empathize?
Look at me.
I've been so focused on visiting Miss Bai that I've forgotten it is time for court.
It's time for morning court.
Prince Consort, you don't need to attend today.
Miss Bai knows nobody else but you in Bai Lan
and is also sick.
She would feel more at ease if she sees you here when she wakes up.
Stay here and keep her company.
If she needs any women's items
you can send someone to the palace to fetch them.
Princess, when Ping Ting wakes up, I will have her thank you in person.
You are so considerate, Princess.
Just tell her to treat this as her own home.
No need to be polite.
Prince Consort, I will be leaving now.
Head back to the palace.
Yes.
No need to see me farther, Prince Consort.
I will visit again tonight to meet you and Miss Bai.
Miss Bai will have woken up by then and we'll be able to talk.
All right. Princess, you are going to so much trouble.
You are too polite, Prince Consort.
I have neglected you the past few days. Please punish me.
I know you are affectionate and true to your friends.
You've gone to much trouble.
- Farewell, Princess. - Farewell, Princess.
Dong Zhuo.
Convey my orders to prepare a dinner banquet.
Princess will be coming tonight.
Yes.
Young Master, Princess's intentions are...
You can't tell?
She wants me to send Ping Ting away of my own accord.
However, I want to keep her here.
Ping Ting will definitely stay.
Ping Ting, wake up soon.
The princess was just here. I was so frightened.
What are you doing? Ping Ting is sleeping.
It's inappropriate for you to be in here.
Go out!
You are in no position to comment on what goes on between me and her.
You can't act so unscrupulously
- just because you're Prince Consort! - Miss.
- Let go of me. Ping Ting! - Miss.
Ping Ting!
Ping Ting.
You've suffered the past two days.
[Rongshou Court]
Greetings to Your Highness.
Don't stand on ceremony, Prime Minister.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Were you waiting for me, Prime Minister?
I have been waiting here for Your Highness for a long time.
Where did Your Highness go?
Prince Consort's friend fell ill. I paid her a visit.
Prince Consort's friend?
Where is this friend from?
Why are you interested in such an ordinary matter?
Your Highness.
Prime Minister, why are you kneeling?
I ask Your Highness to return Bai Ping Ting to Great Jin immediately
and return peace to Bai Lan.
Prime Minister, you are quite well informed.
Actually, it is not that I am well informed
but that all walls have ears.
Please think carefully before acting in regards to Bai Ping Ting.
Now that Bai Ping Ting is here in Bai Lan, she is my guest.
What is the problem in allowing a guest to stay a few days?
Princess, the Jin army is already pushing at the borders
and have destroyed numerous border towns.
Now they are only one hundred li away from us here at Yun-An City.
Think about why Prince Consort rushed back from Jin State
and why Chu Bei Jie disregarded opposition from court councilors
and proceeded to command his army to attack Bai Lan.
Princess, you are intelligent.
I'm certain I don't need to point out how the two are related.
Then what do you think should be done, Prime Minister?
The Jin army is storming the border
and Prince Consort's intentions are unfathomable.
Will Jin and Bai Lan really go to war over one woman?
I think we should send Prince Consort to escort Bai Ping Ting back to Jin
in order to avoid war.
Nobody knows if the Jin army is attacking us over a woman.
Can you guarantee that
the Jin army will withdraw if we send Bai Ping Ting back?
If they come, we will defend. War is imminent.
At a time like this, the war should be made the top priority.
As Bai Lan's Chief Commander
how can He Xia be allowed to be distracted by such trivial matters?
Since the Jin army dares to attack Bai Lan
then we must fight this war.
Otherwise, how will Bai Lan's strength be known?
The Bai Lan army has been training for this war for so long.
What is there to fear?
As for Bai Ping Ting
I will come to a decision on my own.
How does Your Highness plan on dealing with Bai Ping Ting?
Why should I deal with her?
Prime Minister, you need not worry about this matter.
I will be seeing her today.
I would like to see what she has
that can make all four states fight over her.
However...
I appreciate your sincere intentions, but as princess
how can I mix discussions of the state with my personal matters?
That is not the way I do things.
It is getting late, Prime Minister.
It is time for court.
Your Highness!
In the late king's last moments
he repeatedly made himself clear that we are to avoid war.
Princess, you must consider the greater good.
Consider carefully before acting!
Ping Ting.
Ping Ting!
Ping Ting. Ping Ting.
Ping Ting.
You're awake.
How do you feel?
Did you have a nightmare?
You're reading again? You should be resting.
Come, Crown Prince is here.
Let's go play with him.
- All right. - Come on.
Let's hurry.
What is this place?
This is where I live.
Bai Lan's Prince Consort's Manor?
I really don't believe you are living here now.
I had the place arranged to be exactly the same as Prince of Jing An's Manor.
Ping Ting.
Do you think this room is exactly the same as the room you had back then?
What are you thinking?
It does suddenly feel like a dream.
You put a lot of thought into this, Young Master.
Do you like it?
If you do, you can be at ease and settle down here.
At ease?
I only fell asleep for a little while.
When I woke up, I was already in a different place.
Would anyone feel at ease?
Besides, if I do stay here in Prince Consort's Manor
would Prince Consort be at ease?
Would Princess be at ease?
That isn't important.
What is important is that you have always been in my heart.
Ping Ting.
When I have free time, I come here
to read books and play the zither.
Look at that zither.
Doesn't it look like
the "Roaring Thunder" zither my mother gave you when you were young?
It only looks similar.
We cannot return to the past.
I never thought of returning to the past.
However, there are many things that can start anew.
Do you really think we can start over?
No matter what, I will make you forget him.
Ping Ting.
Give me some time.
I will surely rebuild Prince of Jing An's Manor.
