Rule The World
Episode 02
How dare you!
Impudent!
Sorry.
To spoil your fun.
I...
My lord, can you talk with me somewhere else?
Stop!
My lord.
You just come and go as you wish?
Did I pamper you too much?
So you think you can ignore the rules?
Turn around.
So late at night. What's the matter?
You may go back.
My lord.
I won't say it again.
Consort.
My lady!
Do you know what you were talking about?
I know.
Do you know the tension between Jianzhou and Yehe?
I know.
Then why did you come to me?!
I'm here to beg you.
Beg you to write a letter to Yehe.
Tell them aunt's condition.
Ask aunt's mom to come here.
And My lord, I'll bear in mind such a great kindness from you.
The tension between Jianzhou and Yehe
is caused by your brother's irresolute character.
These years have seen frequent frictions on both tribes' border. Big conflicts might be triggered anywhere anytime.
Under such a circumstance,
you think Monggo's wish can possibly be fulfilled?
But no matter what...
No matter what, she's your wife!
She's been with you for fifteen odd years!
No complaints. No regrets.
Never has any excessive demands.
Now, she just misses her family.
Wants to see her mom again.
Even such a wish can't be fulfilled?
She might die soon!
This probably is... Her last wish.
You're her man. Her husband.
How could you treat her like this?!
You men always fight and compete against each other every day.
But what's it to do with her?!
Did she do anything wrong?!
She didn't.
It's all my fault. All my fault!
Dongge.
Stop crying.
I'll give you whatever you want.
Your brother sent me many letters.
Said that he wants you to go home.
I think, you can take this chance
to go back to Yehe in person.
Bring all her family back here.
If you go there, I believe they'll come.
Isn't this perfect?
What?
You don't want to?
I want to.
I want to go there.
Dongge. Dongge.
How on earth should I treat you?
Aunt.
Nurhachi finally grants my request.
For your last wish...
I'm willing to give up my dignity completely.
Dongge.
Daisang...
It's okay.
I'm here.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
Beile has agreed.
I'll go back to Yehe in person.
To bring back aunt's mom.
What did you say?
Father wants you to go back to Yehe?
He told you in person?
Rest easy.
I'll go back in the name of homecoming.
I'll come back.
No.
I don't think it's a good idea.
Dongge, I can't wait.
I must tell father right now.
Ask him to marry us!
Are you crazy?
I just pissed him off.
If you go now, aren't you looking for trouble?
Dongge.
Tell me.
You're willing to marry me.
Aren't you?
Dongge.
This is a promise for you.
I promise,
my self, my heart, and my will
only belong to you in this lifetime.
So beautiful.
Daisang.
Thank you.
For taking care of me, protecting me and treating me sincerely all this time.
So I must tell you the truth without reservation.
I do feel differently
towards you when it's compared with other people.
But right now, I'm still not sure about it.
Nor do I have the nerve to respond to your love affirmatively.
So...
Please wait for me.
When I come back from Yehe,
I'll give you a reply.
Okay?
As long as you believe,
wherever you are,
wherever I am,
our heart will stick together forever.
Forever.
Please forgive me, My lord.
I failed to stop princess Dongge.
Since she came to Jianzhou,
this is her first time to beg me on her own.
Who dares to stop her?
Yes.
I didn't realize that.
This is also good.
Let me see how long Yehe can last.
Buyanggu.
Don't let me down.
I, Hamin, bow before my lady.
You may rise.
Sit.
It's been years since princess Dongge followed My lord.
My lord always dotes on her.
In the past, princess Dongge was small.
So the wedding was postponed again and again.
But now...
Princess Dongge has grown up.
[ Hamin ] The wedding must come soon.
I heard that princess Dongge slept in My lord's room last night.
Who dares to gossip behind My lord's back?!
A bane abandoned by Yehe, to serve my lord?
Way above her!
Brother.
Look.
You'll have a long journey.
So I've prepared many things for you.
Although five or six days will pass by soon,
the rigors of living in the wilderness and the bumpy cart
will make you suffer more or less.
It's good to have so many things after all.
Thank you, brother.
And...
The soldiers designated by father must be the best.
But when you're outside home,
you should rely on yourself before everything.
You can't be more careful.
I'll bear in mind what you said, brother.
There's another thing that I want you to help me with.
Dongge.
She's quick tempered.
Although people in Yehe are all her clansmen,
they and she are only related by blood.
The have no sympathy for her.
So, brother,
please take time to look after her.
Okay.
I'll keep her safe.
Hong Taiji.
Look at you!
Are you moving out or preparing military supplies?
Why so many things?
Look.
Fur quilts.
Snacks and tonics.
Pots and bowls.
Where did you get so many burdens?
These are all prepared for you by my brother.
If you don't like it, tell him by yourself.
Let's go. Let's go.
Dongge.
Hong Taiji is always thoughtful.
And he's very considerate in preparing things.
But, when you arrive there, it'll be late at night.
So I told servants to prepare more things.
In fact, you don't need to do this.
Here's the most critical thing.
Take it.
What's this?
This is called Pacifying Sachet.
You usually can't fall asleep fast, right?
I'm afraid that it'll be worse after you arrive there.
So I prepare this for you.
Put it beside your pillow.
You'll have a sound sleep.
Really?
Smells so good!
Do you like it?
Yes.
That's good.
Dongge!
Why do you leave in such a hurry?
Why didn't you inform me?
I didn't inform you. But you still come by yourself.
You must be very careful after you arrive in Yehe.
If Buyanggu dares to mistreat you for a little bit,
I'll kick his ass!
What makes you say so?
I'm not leaving for an extremely dangerous place.
Don't forget, Yehe is my home.
I'm going back to my own home. What's to worry about?
Anyway.
Once you pick up her mom, come back to Jianzhou.
Don't waste any minute. Do you hear me?
Got it.
-Brother. -Got it.
Dongge is not a kid.
You don't need to worry about such things.
I'm talking with Dongge.
None of your business.
Brother.
It's not right for you to talk like that.
Cuyen. Daisang.
It's time for us to set out.
Hong Taiji.
It's a long journey to Yehe. Be careful on the way.
Take care of Dongge.
Yes, brother.
My lady, we should leave now.
Dongge.
Be careful on the way.
Keep yourself safe after you arrive there.
Don't worry.
Okay.
All right.
You guys stop standing here.
Go back.
Don't need to see me off. Bye.
-Bye. -Bye.
Set out!
My lady.
Drink some. Here.
My lord arrives!
My lord.
Save the courtesy.
Do rest.
Thank you, My lord.
Do you feel better these days?
Thank you for caring about me, My lord.
Just some old ailments.
Ask them to prepare whatever you need.
Your place looks quite frugal.
I told Hong Taiji to see your family on behalf of you.
To soothe your mom's feelings.
My lord.
Hong Taiji and Dongge wanted to fulfill my wish.
So they offended you.
My lord, please
don't blame them because they were just being filial.
You're so sensible.
It's Hong Taiji's bliss to have you as his mom.
My lord.
I married into Jianzhou for ten years and more.
Haven't solved any trouble for you.
Nor can I be called a good mother.
Now my luck goes away. I'm afraid that I'll die soon.
My only concern is Hong Taiji.
Our son.
My lady. Are you alright?
Don't worry.
He's also my son.
I'll treat him well.
Take good care of her.
Yes, My lord.
My lady.
Dongge!
My lord, it's getting cold.
Please wear more clothes.
Don't know where princess Dongge and Hong Taiji have arrived.
It's very windy tonight.
They don't hang out often.
What if they catch a cold?
If I knew this, I would prepare more clothes and stuff for them.
I seldom see you being so considerate.
How weird to talk like that, My lord.
Am I not considerate enough to you normally?
Now. Sister Monggo is ill.
I'm also a mother.
I know her thoughts.
So I can't resist to nag a lot on behalf of her.
Hong Taiji is not a kid any more.
If he messes up such a trifle,
how could he be a son of Nurhachi?
My lord, your sons are all outstanding.
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
My sweetheart. You're more and more cubbish.
[ Mangguji ] Mom. That Dongge.
She bullies me!
And eldest brother. He scolds me as well.
Cuyen is violent-tempered.
He's always picky on people and things.
But only takes care of princess Dongge.
Don't know how they get such a kismet.
What kismet?
Just some art of vixen.
Good at seducing men.
In the twinkling of an eye, Hong Taij has also grown up.
Think in this way, Cuyen and Daisang are also not young any more.
Should have a consort.
Usually, they always go between military barracks.
No one looks after them by their side.
Well, tell me.
Whose daughters deserve my sons?
They're very noble.
In the entire tribe, few families can be thought highly by you.
But...
If they have some girl that they like,
and come asking for a bestowed marriage,
will you grant their request?
Why don't I know it?
Which girl do they like?
There's already a beauty by our side.
It's been a long time since princess Dongge came here.
She usually plays with your sons.
As time passes by, feelings grow naturally.
It's quite normal.
In my eye, Cuyen is very upright.
And princess Dongge is very quiet and clever.
If they can get married, it'll be a good thing!
Cuyen and Dongge?
Yes!
Cuyen is your favorite son.
And princess Dongge is Yehe's gift to you.
If you can bestow such a marriage,
won't it help a lot in bettering Jianzhou and Yehe's relationship?
Is this Cuyen's idea?
Or yours?
Please forgive me, My lord.
I shouldn't say it.
It's me. It's my own idea.
I personally feel that Cuyen and princess Dongge are very close.
They often stay together. So I couldn't help but...
Please forgive me, My lord!
My son Cuyen is growing more and more powerful.
Yehe.
I finally come back.
Stop. Take a break.
My lord, what brought you here?
Tired from riding. So I'm here for a rest.
Look, you sweat a lot.
I advised you to come here when we just set out.
But you insisted to ride the horse.
You're really a good girl!
Must because your My lord has taught you well.
What a considerate service!
I dare not.
Being able to serve you is a bliss to me.
Enough. Enough.
You two stop flirting before me.
Go out if you want to play.
My lady...
All right, good girl.
Fetch me a cup of tea.
I'll reward you later.
Okay.
Why do you vent your anger on me?
You usually don't behave like this. Usually you look young yet sophisticated.
Didn't expect that you've perfectly learned such indecent fopperies.
You're still young now.
I should teach you on behalf of your mom.
Don't treat my maid like dirt.
If you truly like her,
I'll let you marry her later.
But on one condition.
You must treat her well.
I'm talking to you. Do you hear me?
If you want to sleep, sleep with the quilt on.
Or you might catch a cold.
If you fall ill,
I won't look after you after we arrive in Yehe.
You don't enjoy it anyway.
In your eye, you've already considered me as a spy sent by father to watch over you.
You'll only take me as your enemy.
How could you care about me?
Silly boy.
How would I think like that?
I know. Although you're sent by your father to accompany me,
it's also what your mom wants.
Your mom is a tender and kind woman.
Haizhen told me, over these years,
she often cried secretly at midnight since she missed home.
But she never mentioned a single word to the outsiders.
If you can visit Yehe on behalf of her this time,
it's very good.
I know you're a filial kid.
So I don't believe you're sent by Nurhachi to watch over me.
Even if you are, I won't fear you.
Dongge.
You're so nice.
It's just been a few days. And you start to know my goodness?
Of course I know.
As always.
You brat.
[ Buyanggu ]
My good sister.
You're finally back.
Brother.
Long time no see.
Hong Taiji?
You're a grown-up now.
You look exactly like your father.
In the future, you'll definitely be an eagle in the grassland!
All right.
Dongge.
Let's go home.
Back then, wars never ended on the border of Jianzhou.
I dispatched you to wipe out the enemy.
But your mom got seriously ill.
You didn't see her for the last time.
When the day came, she didn't close her eyes.
The shaman said that she's waiting for you.
I owe you and your mom a lot.
So I treat you differently since you were a kid.
I have expectations on you. Do you understand?
I'll live up to your expectations, father.
After this birthday, Dongge will grow up completely.
You're also not young any more. Should have a consort.
The eldest daughter of Gororo, Hulun clan.
She's about Dongge's age.
Her appearance and character are also good.
You'll marry her.
As a gesture to reassure the Hulun clan.
And provide help for your future.
It's up to you, father.
Good.
Welcome, Dongge. Welcome, Hong Taiji.
It's been a long time.
Feel free to drink tonight.
Eat the dishes.
My dear sister.
Dongge.
Also a pearl of our Yehe clan.
Welcome back.
This is a toast to you.
Thank you, brother.
Hong Taiji.
What a drinker!
You're indeed Nurhachi's son.
Beile.
When can I see my grandma?
Hong Taiji.
Why so anxious?
You just arrived in Yehe.
Settle down first.
I've told Dongge to handle this thing.
Are you afraid that you can't see her?
Later, Narimbulu Beile will come.
You may ask him in person.
Drink first.
But my mom is in bad condition.
She can't wait.
What, Hong Taiji.
You think that I'm not faithful?
Or Dongge is also not faithful?
No.
Or you think that our entire Yehe
are all faithless people to cheat you, a noble prince?
I didn't mean that.
You didn't mean that?
Well, show me your sincerity, then.
Hong Taiji is quite tired from the days-long trip.
Better not drink too much.
Let me drink it up first on behalf of him.
Besides.
I have a few words to talk with you alone, brother.
Sister wants to talk with her brother.
Who can stop her?
Let's go.
Aunt is seriously ill.
She wants to see her mom again before her death.
This time I came back to pick her up
to Hetuala.
I know Yehe and Jianzhou are not on good terms now.
So...
I need your permission.
Over these years, I've written many letters to Nurhachi.
Asking him to send you back home.
But he never wrote me back.
This time...
Just because of a dying woman,
he sent you back so easily?
What the hell is he plotting?
That's a struggle between you two.
I don't understand.
And I don't want to understand it.
I just want to ask you.
Will you permit or not?
Dongge, don't forget your identity.
You're born as one of Yehe.
And after death you're a ghost of Yehe.
Now, Nurhachi is pushing your own brother
and your clansmen to death.
But you say that you want to stay out and ignore it?
You think you can escape it?
But...
Monggo is also my aunt.
If I can help fulfill her last wish,
I shall not make any excuse.
It's just, aunt's mom is old now.
And she's also in bad condition lately.
She shall recuperate in the house outside the city.
A long journey is not suitable for her.
If it's the case,
can you let me and Hong Taiji visit her?
Of course.
It's been a long time since you left.
Stay longer at home this time.
You can visit her whenever you want to.
You can leave tomorrow.
But not tonight.
How does it go?
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
What happened at the banquet, don't take it seriously.
They just kicked up a fuss and looked on.
You've done a good job. Don't worry.
And...
Brother promised me to take us to see grandma tomorrow.
But I heard that she's in bad condition and lives outside the city.
Maybe she can't return to Jianzhou with us for now.
Don't you find it weird?
Father has shown me the letters that your brother wrote.
It said that grandma misses my mom and you.
But they didn't mention it during the whole night.
We came back this time...
To fulfill my mom's wish.
But they urged you to come back.
But after you arrived, they said that grandma is ill.
And she lives outside the city.
What on earth is their purpose?
My lord.
Buyanggu Beile houses our followers nearby the west guest room.
They all have gone there.
I want to ask you.
Do you want to rest now?
Or go there as well after the food gets digested?
I'll stay here tonight.
Put some quilt on the bed.
Yes, My lord.
Maybe I've worried too much.
-Dongge. -My lady.
Dongge!
Wake up, Dongge!
My lady.
Hong Taiji.
What's up?
My lady, you're finally awake.
You were in a nightmare, hauling the quilt.
But wouldn't wake up.
Made me so scared.
What time is it now?
Five o'clock a.m.
Daybreak will come soon.
Day breaks...
Day breaks. That's good.
You sweat a lot.
Gedai.
Fetch some hot water.
Yes, My lord.
Fire! Help!
Hurry! Fire!
Hurry! Hurry!
Fire! Help!
My lady. My lord.
The west guest room is on fire.
None of My lord's servants escaped.
They're coming at me.
Hong Taiji!
What are you doing?
What else could I do? You survived the fire.
So you're gonna go asking for death?
The most important thing now is to wait and see.
I think he's not likely to show his true colors
and hurts you openly.
After all, half of your blood comes from Yehe Nara.
When day breaks, I'll go find Buyanggu.
See how he'll explain it.
Something wrong must be going on between Yehe and Jianzhou.
Buyanggu wants to rebel.
Who could it be?
Yehe is powerless and alone.
Can't possibly betray the oath of alliance so easily.
There must be other accomplices behind this.
Ula? Hada? Hoifa? (clan names)
Which one could it be?
Get lost!
Yes, My lord.
So useless.
That damn servant lit a lamp secretly last night.
But so carelessly that he upset it.
The fire spread fast under the help of the lamp oil.
And people in the west guest room slept like a log.
So the tragedy happened.
Lucky that Hong Taiji is safe.
Otherwise.
I don't know how to explain it to aunt.
Where's Hong Taiji?
Is he too shocked to come?
Shall I give him a cup of tea to help him get over it?
No need.
He's slept by now.
Sister.
