Why don't you just come after me directly?
What are you talking about?
Since you like Zi Jian so much you can just poison me
Why set up my friend?
I didn't mean to
I just went looking after your friends
I didn't know they will raise up their heads to see me. I didn't realize the gesture will go wrong like this.
But it is what's happening right now
There were only a few people back then
Who told my father about this?
Is it because they want to be dead so badly and they told my father themselves?
You suspect me?
Inside your heart
I'm the kind of person that set up others?
I thought
we are the same; not in control of our fate
but at least, we can respect each other
and have a family-like relationship
Maybe, I'm just wishing too much
Please listen to me, Zi Huan. You really misunderstood me.
Misunderstanding?
Don't mention the word
You and I are a "misunderstanding"
A big one!Zi Huan!
I'm carrying your baby...
You did very well on this regard
You should be careful. This is for you
Remember to report to me if Cao Pi is doing anything
Go ahead
Brother Yang. A pretty job
This move not only makes Cao Pi guilty in front of Prime Minister but also removes his best counsellors
Killing two birds with one stone
Don't flatter me
I had no choice to use these contemptible strategies. It's not something worth praising for people like us
We will not do this again, then
But this fault is not only on me
Cao Pi brought this to himself
Prime Minister is angry at him because of the pillar of humanity and justice
His action will have consequences
It's a pity that Si Ma Zhong Da got away with this
He didn't look at her once?
He is with Cao Pi and definitely will get punished every now and then
He will have his time
Will you look at her if you are there?
You are so obvious
Gong Gan
Have this wine with you on your way
Thank you
It's my fault and made you suffer
I offended your wife. I deserved this
You shouldn't blame yourself
We all knew this is an excuse for my father to punish me
You carried the punishment for me
Don't worry
I will figure out a way to save you
Good bye
I can do nothing to help my good friends
What else can I do?
Deputy Commander, Master Liu and Master Wu will not blame you for this
Please remember
Don't show that you are angry about this
Aren't you afraid?
Probably, you're next. I'm a coward.
I'm worried everyday. So, you are discrete on everything...
You pretended to be drunk and slept on the desk?
I was really drunk that day
Deputy Commander, allow me to say something more
You misunderstood your wife
The person who rat us
would be servants at your wife's side
I will look into this
but don't you think I should have something worth trusting around?
Zhong Da, your wife has a non-related sister. Young Miss Guo.
Can you help ask her to come over to my house?
I just want you to ask her in person
I will not force anyone if she is not willing to
OK
No way, I will not agree.
She is just a girl! How can she get involved with the fight for the crown?
You are right. Deputy Commander becomes more discrete because of the incident of Liu Zhen and Wu Zhi
He just wants someone close and trusted. But you are right, darling.
I don't want her to go over but...
She is still young even if she is attracted to a highborn like him.
We can't let her get involved with those dangerous messes.
What's more, Deputy Commander has a wife.
I will not allow my sister to become a concubine. Go ahead and refuse him.
Alright, this is up to you.
Sister
I'm willing to go to Cao Pi's house.
Don't listen to her, go ahead.
OK
I really want to
You...
I will not allow the ruin of your own life because of one impulsive act.
I'm not being impulsive.He has an uncertain future
Even if he becomes the crown prince, what can he do?
You will get involved with more dangers: wars and plots.
Have you lived a peaceful life with brother-in-law?
Your life is turbulent all the time, too
but you still treat him as the most important man in life.
Why can't I?
He is different from your brother-in-law.The feeling we have is the same.
It has nothing to do with his status.
I roamed on the streets since I was a child.
I thought I can't control my destiny in this turbulence-filled present.
But after I knew him,
he had the courage to try to control his own life.
Even try to change this world.
I want to be with him.
A Zhao, this is just fantasy of your own.
Marriage is not like that.
The only thing I knew
is loving a person is a wonderful thing.
It feels like I have something to cling to in my life.
Having a hope in misery.
Even his suffering is noble and you want to share said suffering with him.
This is the life I want.
I still can not allow you to be with him.
I can not see you dumped into a sea of misery.
Cao Pi is only focused on his career and achievements. He will not care about you/
You should marry someone that puts you in the most important place.
He is that fellow. If I say he is, then it is him.
Sister, please, just allow me to go
You can't lock me up, Sister!
A Zhao. really say so?
Your sister-in-law will not agree on this
Talk her out of this. As to Deputy Commander,
I will figure something out.
No need to do so
At first, I thought
A Zhao is alone wandering on this world and I pity her
Therefore, I want to look after her
But, right now,
she found her happiness on her own.
Why would I force her to change her mind?
When your sister-in-law wanted her married to you, you didn't say so.
Her unfortunate life and family were my words.
Don't lie to yourself.
As long as Young Miss Guo is happy, then it's fine.
What do you want this time, Master Si Ma?
We are not strangers to each other.
You can speak out directly.
Will you be good?
He is a close friend and he understands me. It's hard to have someone like him.
I definitely will be good to him.I'm talking about Young Miss Guo
I thought you were talking about your brother.
You also like her?
I...
I see her as my little sister
I just want to know if you can provide her a peaceful, stable and happy family for her lifetime.
Peaceful? How can I give her something I don't even have for myself?
I think what she wants is not just a man that she needs to protect carefully in her whole life.
The biggest happiness in this world
is meeting a person and have same ambitions and intelligence.
You can share both happiness and suffering with that person together all the time.
Everything she said
will be understood and praised by you.
Every glance of her is glamorous.
Having someone like her is the best thing you can have in youth.
Am I right, Master Si Ma?
I want to play with Auntie~Come over and don't run. Finish this.
Sit down!
Your auntie is not here.
She went out
Finish the meal!I don't want to
You sure about that?
You will not eat anything if you don't want to eat this. Do you want to eat now?Yes...
Let me check on her, sister-in-law
My sister is too stubborn
Let me send her the meal. Maybe, I can persuade her.
Don't be angry at her and just talk to her
She will figure things out, eventually. Give her a few more days.
A Zhao, come and eat something
I don't want to
The guest from far away gave me two fishes
What's next?
Hu-er found a letter when he try to cook the fish
That's right
Have some fish
You got to eat
You might get something good out of this fish
Have a try
"I cannot forget the sorrow of missing you"
His poetry.
If you don't eat anything, how would you have the strength to go with him?
What do you mean?
He is outside waiting for you, right now.
Hurry up
Thank you.Silly girl.
I should be the one thanking you.
Not everyone can know the happiness of loving a person.
A Zhao!
Come back here!
I will make my own decision about my life, Sister.
I heard that you are the daughter of the commissioner of southern counties
So you are lady from the administrative family
As the daughter of a commissioner, my family actually faced a lot of disasters
I roamed on the street when I was young. I was even once a maid-servant for a duke
I beat the duke after he tried to harass me
I ran off on my own then I meet my sister
I will not let you suffer any more don't worry
Sit
I will
This article is good
Who is down there? Speak your name!
Please don't be rude
It's okay Mr. Weng
It's your husband down here
Do you have any family left?
You can have them here too. I wIll look after them
All my family died early
I still have a cousin but I haven't seen him for years
I can send the agents from investigation bureau to look for him
You haven't seen him in years he must be a grown-up adult now
His appearance will change a lot
Do you have anything else that can prove him is your cousin? In case someone try to pretend to be him
I have a nick name that only my family knows
Good for you
You didn't tell me your nick name!
What is it?
Come over
Give me your hand
This is a secret
Your nick name
is a queen's name
No wonder your sword skill is high
I should be careful in case you might beat me in the future
Of course you will got beaten. Let's try now
It's still this sword
This killing weapon
is the item that bonds us
Who said this is a killing weapon
Good sword is like a hero with straight bones
It can defense a good person
Are you sure?
Can this sword of Si Ma Yi be used by me?
Brother in law?
I have no idea
We are husband and wife from now on
I will be honest to you completely but if you know something
Please do tell me
You marrying me
is because you like me
or I can be spying for you in Si Ma Yi's family?
I like a lot of things
like drinking and making friends.
Including you, of course.
But everything I want to have is collapsing now
I can't put you in the most important position in my life now
I need to make sure I'm alive so that I can like you and protect you
Do you understand?
So, you mean, you are using me
to spy on my brother-in-law
If Si Ma Yi is loyal to me
whatever you do to help me is to help him
But if one day he betrayed me,
I hope you know on which side you should stand on
It's because I like you
that I will be totally honest with you
You should think about it
Leave or stay
You can decide on your own
You are Little Sister Guo, right?
I'm Zhen Fu
Madam
I'm afraid you won't get used to this place on your first day coming here.
I prepared some clothes and daily supplies for you
Please have a try to see if they suit you
Just let the servants tell me what you need
Thank you
I haven't thought through
whether I should stay or not
Don't bother taking care of me right now
Is it because of me?
You wish for me to stay here as well?
I'm glad you are here
He suffered a lot
I always hope someone can comfort him
What about you?
Do not worry as I will not try to earn the attention against you.
You can help me take care of him.
I will appreciate your help.
Go and take a look at your room.
You want to plead for Liu Zhen
Yes. Liu Zhen indeed made a mistake
but he is a talented and famous scholar after all
If you can spare him it will be like King of Chu Zhuang sparing the person insulting his wives.
People will praise your kindness
Further more, Liu Zhen is the subordinate in deputy commander's house
Punishing the subordinates too heavily will cause suspicion and rumors within the court
What kind of rumor it is?
Rumor like removing the eldest son from the crown and crowning the youngest son
Among all the courtiers
only you dare to say something like this to me
Good
Since you mentioned the topic of crown prince
I will show you
the prince Feng Xiao chose on that day
The ink still stays on the booklet
but the person who wrote it passed away.
How sad this is, Feng Xiao.
You wrote appointing the eldest as the crown prince
I knew who you refer to
Feng Xiao wrote appointing the wise{Xian in Chinese} one as crown prince
Unfortunately I can't ask him right now
What did he mean by the "Xian" ?
Among the princes you have
Zi Huan, Zi Wen and Zi Jian are the eldest
They are talented too
As to which one is the wise one
although Feng Xiao is gone
You must know something already
Zi Wen refused to study
He can only be a general and soldier
He is not comparable with Zi Jian and Zi Huan who knew well about both books and weapons
If my Chong-er didn't die early
I will not worry about appointing which one as the crown prince
Edict from Prime Minister: Cao Hong will lead the expedition of conquering Wu
The army will leave from south of the city
Now ordering Cao Pi leave from eastern gate
Carrying the flags from the prime minister and send off the army
If Deputy Commander doesn't arrive with flags at time
You will be published according military laws
I will obey the instruction of the edict
Here you go
General Xu
Since Cao Hong is at the southern part of the city
Why should I leave from the eastern gate?
This is a detour
This is because Zi Jian will leave from the western gate
The distant of the western and eastern gate to southern gate is the same
This is fair for you two
Zi Jian will go too?
Cao Hong will have only one flag tomorrow
He will accept the flag that comes to him first.
I need to give the edict to the fourth prince
So deputy commander has the same edict from prime minister
Yes
The only difference is the gate we set off
Punish whoever fail to carry the order
This is not an edict
This is a test. Father trying to test both of us on purpose
Take a look
Same edict and same flag
The gate will open at the same time tomorrow
The distant to the southern gate is the same too
Cao Hong will have only one flag
The other one will carry the crime of delaying the military action
If this isn't a test what is it?
The distant of both gates to the southern gate
only requires an hour for a quick horse
Father will not test the speed of the horse
I'm afraid there will be barriers on the way tomorrow
Of course he will not test the speed of the horse
He tried to make you two compete for real
He sends out the edict and stop you two in person
What he tries to test is your ability to response to the barriers and impediments
I'm sure tomorrow there will be something stopping us on the way
What should we do?
You are a prince no one will touch you
I kill the officer sent by my father?
Isn't it too much to kill the officer?
Your father wants a king that can unite a kingdom
when a king is angry
The blood will be split
A test
A win or lose
costs a human life?
Zi Jian
It's not win or lose we are fighting for
It's live or dead we are fighting for
In this chaos time
no one cares about the principles. There won't a way without killing and bloods
Look at me
Take a look
Do you know why I like to wear white clothes
I want to remind myself not to let my heart get dirty
I only wish after all these
after you fulfill your ambition
You can return a clean place for me and this world
I went to war with my father. I have seen the killing and the bloods
I'm not afraid of it but I can't kill an innocent person
Who is innocent in this world?
Tomorrow
I will go with you
I will help you with this
I'm leaving
That's better
A woman like you
I don't want to ruin your life. You don't need to say these
I will not say this then
I will send you over. I have something to discuss with your brother in law
Why do you treat me like this? How should I treat you then?
You gave me the hope
All the things you said
You waited me under the tree
Right now you are telling me you are using me?
I only want your heart
My true heart?
What I think of everyday right now
is the political games about live or dead
That true heart
I dare not to keep it for myself anymore
What you said to my brother in law
is not true is it?
Your ambition is not from your true heart either?
Tell me if you can't do these
I will leave now
Let me go
If this is for you
I'm willing to keep my true heat for you
I of course want to stay for you then
A jade like this
should be with a good sword
Even this is not for me
You must keep your true heart
I just said I will do my best to keep it
I will succeed every time I try
Uncle you said tomorrow
who will be the first to deliver the flag
It seems to be testing two princes
The fact is testing Yang Xiu and Si Ma Yi
I never expect the battle of the crown prince will be this soon
There will be barriers on both eastern and western gates
I'm afraid prime minister wants Zi Jian to win more
Don't try to speculate what prime minister is thinking
Since this is a test then it's a fair test
We just wait for the results
There are still two hours before the gate opens
You should go back and rest uncle
I will send people to wait by the gate
I will report to you once I get anything
No need
From today on
The night will be long
I will wait for the news here
Two edicts
Only one flag can get delivered
Don't worry Zi Huan I will escort you tomorrow
I will kill anyone in our way
If the person who try to stop us is taking orders from the prime minister
This is a big crime to kill the subordinates of your father
Zhong Da
What should I do tomorrow?
You are a great hero
We must listen to what he says and think what he thinks
But...
We also need to understand what he hasn't said and he hasn't thought about as well
What is that he hasn't said and hasn't thought about?
You didn't get him either right?
Can you speak English?
Prime minister's mind is deep like a sea
We shouldn't speculate randomly and think it over
We shouldn't do anything outrageous
Shouldn't do anything outrageous? There are only two hours before the gate opens
Yang Xiu must have a plan already
You need to think it through. Are you try to fu.k with Zi Huan?
I'm not as sharp as Mr. Yang
If you don't trust me
then I will leave now
Zhong Da, sit
There are only two hours left
Zi Dan
Warm up the wine
We used the poetry and songs to comfort ourselves
Between the lines and the music the sorrow comes
Can't sleep because of these sorrows
Wondering outside the house with heavy clothes
Look at the stars hiding between the clouds in the sky
We still have two hours
Uncle the dawn breaks
I will send some people to monitor two gates now
The edict sent from prime minister's house
The edict ordered two gates should be closed and no one can enter or exit
How would two princes send out the flags?
What does the prime minister mean by this?
It's me
Clean your face a bit
Please wake up
You shall clean the face and get up
Si Ma Yi
Let you come up with ideas you now are snoring
Have you figured out a solution?
Zi Huan it's out of time now. I will order the army to come
No you can't order the armies!!
You come up with an idea?
General please wait and Zhong Da speak you plan
No I haven't figured out a way
but I figure out one thing
You can't ignore the manner as a subordinate
You can't ignore the manner of being a son either. Bull shit!
You come up with all these for the whole night?
A three year old child knows this
A three year old kid understands it easily
but it's hard for a elder to keep the manners all the time
You are saying
We will not fight over winning or losing
We only asks if this is right or wrong
Good
I will let you company me
Clean up your face
The man follows me
Even it's a journey to death the appearance should be tidy
Going to die?
Why would you go dying?
I'm just kidding
Alright
Meets the forth prince
Meets the Registrar Yan
You two are going out?
I'm taking order from the prime minister to see off the expedition troops
Please open the gate for me in advance
Please forgive me. I can't even open on time not to mention in advance
Why is that?
I receive the order from the prime minister. Today is the date that expedition army sets out
In case there will be mistakes the whole city will be closed
Every citizen and courtier cannot leave the city
Absurd
How dare you stop us? We are also taking the order from the prime minister directly
It's a felony to delay the military action
Please forgive me I dare not to stop. I'm just taking the orders. I dare not disobey the order either
Please report to prime minister if you insist going out
When you have the paper and permission to leave the city
I definitely will open the gate for you
No this detour will make us miss the schedule. Hurry up and open the door otherwise I won't be nice
How dare you
Registrar Yang even you kill me today
I still can not open this gate
Do you still want to try me sword? Otherwise open the door
Open the gate
Are we out of the line now?
De Zu
You hurry up
Minister, Yang Xiu killed the officer in west gate
They break a way out of the city
No hesitate to kill. He is a cruel person
Why is there no news on the east gate?
Why is the forth prince here?
Edict from the prime minister
Receiving the flag
Please open the door. Open it
Open it or I will kill you
If you want to kill I will be the one to die
If I let you go my whole family will die
How dare you! Deputy commander please don't
This is your idea
Let me get trap under the city gate?!
Everyone is trying to win in this world
