Honey.
Honey, wake up...Talk to me. Honey...
Are you serious?
I knocked her unconscious because of the onset of the disease.
You want to wake her up now?
I have to save my wife's life.
OK. But don't wake her up. Let me tie her up first.
Hey, no way. We must take her away. It'll be troublesome if you get infected.
Who will be in charge then?
Don't worry. Dr Li and I believe that
the disease is transmitted only when you have wounds.
Sir, there's a commotion at the relay station.
What's the situation?
All the patients have escaped. They've wounded me too.
Honey, do you hear me? I'm your husband. Do you hear me?
I'm wounded too. We've live or die together.
Honey.
Si.
What?
Let's carry her out... Let's fight our way out.
Are you serious? You're taking her with you?
I promised Brother Dongpo that I would take care of Xiaomei forever.
You're right.
As long as there's a chance, we must hang in there.
We'll get out of here together.
Even if you die, I will still take your body home.
Sir, it's all set. We can burn down the village any minute.
I don't see the target. Don't set the place on fire yet.
You mean...?
I mean, I don't know why the villagers are gathered at the houses.
When everyone is over there,
we'll burn the place down.
Yes, sir.
Hong Si.
Yes?
Promise me that when the illness starts to attack me,
you'll either kill me or let the villagers do it.
But you must take Xiaomei home.
OK. Don't worry.
I'll take you both home whether you're alive or dead, OK?
Run...
There are lots of soldiers.
It's Jiang Wanli! Help is here.
Are you OK?
Officer Wang?
I've finally found you. Light the fire.
They want to burn the villagers to death. They can't do that.
Hey, Officer Qin's here. Don't shoot...
Sir, shall we rescue Officer Qin and his party first?
Don't shoot...
Did you see Officer Qin?
No, I didn't.
Don't shoot...
The situation is perilous.
I have no choice but to burn down the village.
Besides, Officer Qin didn't come out to meet us.
I'm afraid he's died in the line of duty already.
His Majesty will confer a posthumous title on him.
Yes, sir.
Shoot...
Stop.
Hey, that's Officer Su. He'll save us.
Why do you want to burn down the village?
Qin Shaoyou is inside. You're going to burn a government official to death?
How are you going to account tor that to His Majesty?
A commander in the field doesn't need to follow Imperial Orders.
His Majesty sent me here to stop you from burning down the village.
Didn't you get the message carried here by the courier pigeons?
I didn't.
His Majesty gave me his verbal order to root out the epidemic.
You're defying the Imperial Order?
I can say you falsified the Imperial Order.
Anyway you're not allowed to burn down the village.
My rank is higher than yours. You can't give me an order.
Fine. You want to burn down the place, right? OK.
Honey, get up.
You said you would keep me company until I make a come back. Wake up, OK?
You just smile at me.
Wake up, OK? Uniform bangs freak...
You have to wake up now.
Shoot now. Go ahead.
Shoot.
Don't leave me.
I will protect you. will you wait for me?
I will wait for you while you leave home to prepare a report.
I will wait for you while you take the Imperial Exam.
Even if you fail, I will still keep you company until you make a come back.
If love is everlasting, it doesn't matter if we see each other day and night.
Officer Su, it's lucky that you found
the fumigation method mentioned in Arcane Essentials in Medicine just in time
and cast the medicinal powder all over to save everyone.
Even luckier was that Wang Anshi was in Silk Village.
He was infected too.
The luckiest thing is that he wasn't burned to death.
That's really so lucky. How's he doing now?
According to him,
he won't go on another trip again after surviving this ordeal.
He will stay in the capital close to you. He thinks that will be safer for him.
He said that?
Your Majesty, this isn't luck.
I believe it's all due to your blessing that the problem's been solved.
But you insisted on burning Silk Village
What's your explanation?
I was just acting on His Majesty's order.
Then why didn't you follow His Majesty's verbal order that I told you?
What about that?
Enough. I sent a message by courier pigeons.
Perhaps Officer Jiang didn't receive it.
Listen to me. Let it go, OK?
Since Your Majesty said that, I have no choice but to comply.
But there must be a reward.
OK. I understand. You've deserve credit this time, right?
I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about Officer Qin.
He was decisive.
When he realized there was an epidemic, he quarantined the patients immediately.
As a result, there were no outbreaks in other places.
He also discovered that the disease was transmitted through wounds.
He deserves the most credit this time.
Very good.
Officer Qin, you're promoted to the post of
assistant censor grade eight under the Secretariat.
Much obliged, Your Majesty.
I suggest that Hanlin Hospital
prepare more medicine against the mutating virus
and distribute it to different places as a preventive measure.
Very good. I agree absolutely.
But I need to assign someone
to inspect different places and supervise the use of the medicine.
Your Majesty...
But I need to assign a person
to inspect different places and supervise the use of the medicine.
Your Majesty, after working as the Director of Waterworks,
I delivered the medicine to Silk Village.
I'm really exhausted.
If you ask me to go to different places now,
I'm afraid I won't be able to cope. I'm afraid I'll die in foreign land.
Please consider my difficulties, Your Majesty.
Is it really that bad? I think you're still strong.
Although you're required to go to different places to conduct an inspection,
you're actually going on a holiday.
You can even try all the wonderful food in those places. This is a plum job.
After the incident at Silk Village,
We learned what it means to be parted with my loved ones.
I'm no longer interested in holidays or good food.
I just want to enjoy the food my wife makes and I'll be content.
Since you've said that, I have no choice but to appoint someone else to do the job.
Much obliged, Your Majesty.
But I need to assign someone...
But I need to assign someone
to inspect different places and supervise the use of the medicine.
Your Majesty, I'm old. I'm going to die very soon.
I'm afraid I'll die before I hit the road...
OK...You're a busy actor, Officer Jiang.
Jixiang, I need to assign someone to different places...
Su Mansion.
Please tell Master Wang that this is for his replenishment.
Gao Gui, show them out.
Yes. This way please.
Sis Runzhi, Wang Anshi didn't deliver the gift in person.
Do you need to give him bird's nest and abalone?
Why didn't you save them for me?
It's to reciprocate. We must give him gifts in return.
He already thanked me in person in Silk Village.
Today he asked someone to send me his calligraphy.
Even though it's just so-so and it's not worth much,
it's still very thoughtful given his character.
He's really thoughtful. Wang Anshi rarely writes for other people.
He seldom gives his calligraphy to other people.
It means a lot to have his calligraphy.
Fine.
Anyway, you look so healthy, Xiaomei. You don't need so much replenishing food.
Otherwise you'll get really fat.
You'll even be fatter than Damei before she lost weight.
Wang Anshi is an old man. How much longer can he eat? Let him enjoy.
Honey, I don't feel well. My head's spinning.
Really? I think the virus is still in your body.
You need fumigation. Chun Hua, take her to the kitchen.
You won't do anything to please me.
I'm pleasing you.
Who says you're still infected? You're just pretending. She's tricky.
Xiaomei, you're a married woman now. You're a big girl.
But you're still so petulant. You make me worry about you all the time.
I missed my husband. Brother Dongpo, I'm married already.
He should be the one to worry about me, not you.
Speaking of which, I'm really mad.
You wanted to go see Shaoyou. Fine! You could have told me.
You didn't dare tell me because you thought I'd yell at you.
You could have told your Sis Runzhi so we'd know where you had gone.
That's right. How hard is it to keep us informed?
If we think positively, we can say Xiaomei is independent and brave.
Right.
Right. Marrying you was her bravest act.
I saw you two hugging each other even though you were lying on the ground.
That shows you truly love Xiaomei.
Listen carefully.
You must treat her better and better or else I'll really cut you.
What? Cut your hair.
15,000 copper coins please.
So expensive? My friend referred me. Could you give me a discount?
Your friend just bought a straw doll. Its head is not as big as this one.
The bigger the more expensive? Give me a smaller one then.
You don't know anything about witchcraft. It works better if the head is bigger.
Really?
You can put more pins on a bigger head.
Prick her for 49 days. Make her drink the charm water too.
Then the person you want to hurt will die.
Guest Inn.
I'm worried someone will discover it if I leave it at home. I'll leave it here.
Prick it every day.
Don't worry. I'll make sure she's doomed. There's no name. Who's your target?
Oh, it's here. There's a name here. Put a pin there.
Meishan Su Xiaomei.
Remember to put it back when you're done.
This is so clandestine.
Meishan Su Xiaomei.
Mom, I can't believe you're so vicious.
I'll listen to you. I won't push it.
I want to prick it too.
Don't touch it.
Don't touch it. Be good. I'll treat you to noodles, OK?
Great. Noodles Let's go to Spring Wine Restaurant and eat noodles.
No, you can go anywhere except Spring Wine Restaurant.
Don't be so harsh with your dad. He's your dad after all.
Who's this?
I'm your daughter. I'm the top scholar’s wife.
Anyway you can't go to Spring Wine Restaurant. You hear that?
Mom, just be patient.
When I have Shaoyou all to myself, you'll live a better life.
Su Mansion.
I've prepared some replenishing food for you. Go ahead.
Thank you.
You're welcome. See if you like it.
How is it?
It tastes funny.
Oh, I thought you needed replenishment for your ligaments and bones.
So I put deer sinew in it. Perhaps you're not used to the taste.
Why aren't you having some?
Me? I had some already and liked it. So I made some for you too.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
She's so smart to realize that there's charm water in it?
I hope you'll bleed to death. It really works?
What's the matter?
Nothing, silly girl. It's all over your mouth.
I just want to wipe it clean for you.
You're so good to me.
Being good to you is like being good to honey.
That's the same as being good to myself.
Harmony is the most important. Don't you think so? Yes.
Why don't I give you a massage you? Is this spot OK?
That feels so good.
Xiaomei, you really have no sense of hierarchy.
What? We're like sisters. Wow, there's more food?
Yes. The doctor said garlic can help detox.
You must eat more to detox. Then you can eat replenishing food.
If I keep eating like this, I'll get so fat.
Why worry.
Brother Shaoyou practices wrestling with you every day.
How can you get fat? That's true.
Waterside Cottage.
Imperial City.
Master, Wang Anshi is recuperating at home now.
Shall we send someone there to assassinate him in case he lives?
Why is there a sewer pipe leading from Jinming Pond to Upper River?
Is that an escape route for the emperor?
Master.
If we could assassinate Wang Anshi without arousing people's suspicion,
would we have had to do so many things to spread the epidemic through him?
Right. You're really meticulous, Master.
If we want to win, we must plan meticulously.
Before our army enters the city, we must set up a barricade at Jinshui Ditch.
We can't let that stupid emperor escape.
Jot this down and ask our spy to take it back to our country.
OK.
OK. Stop. Jixiang just recovered. Let's call it a day. Take a break.
Much obliged, Your Majesty.
Ever since I started practicing wrestling with you, my soft tummy has gone.
My body...Look. It's much stronger than before.
I'm the best example to demonstrate that wrestling is good for health.
That's why you want Jixiang to practice it for better health.
Yes.
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
Don't mention it.
I think we should motivate everyone in the country
to practice wrestling to improve their health.
That's the best preventive measure.
Your Majesty is smart and sharp.
But it's inevitable that people will get hurt while practicing wrestling.
That's why I want you to develop
a set of wrestling exercise and teach everyone how to do it.
Then everyone in the country will be your student.
Everyone will have to call you Mentor. You'll be so amazing.
I will do my best to teach the people of Song what I know.
Good. But I have another mission for you.
I will do my best to accomplish it.
Good. Very good.
What's the mission?
Go to Silk Village.
Empress Dowager insists on using the silk from Silk Village
to make a dress for the sacrificial ritual.
You know Silk Village so well.
You're the best person to send there to supervise the work.
When should I depart then?
Of course tomorrow.
So soon? I need a couple of days to pack my bags.
My wife just recovered from the disease. I still cough every now and then.
OK. There's still time before the sacrificial ritual.
I'll give you seven days to prepare.
Much obliged, Your Majesty.
He thought he could fool me.
I can't believe Officer Qin is such a lousy actor.
Right. He's even worse than me.
Shumei, why are you standing here?
Just now I was chatting with Xiaomei.
Suddenly she told me to get out. She said she didn't want to see anyone.
What's going on?
Wow, why is it so stinky, Xiaomei?
Master, keep your voice down please.
You have the runs?
Why didn't you go to the bathroom? Why are you pooping in the bedroom?
She doesn't have the runs. She just farted.
You better stay in Sis Shumei's bedroom tonight.
What did you eat, Xiaomei? It wasn't that stinky before.
I don't know.
I ate the replenishing food that Sis Shumei prepared for me
and the pickled garlic from Sis Runzhi.
Honey, it's Xiaomei's turn tonight.
But given the current situation...
Xiaomei, you go to bed early if you're OK.
I'll stay in Shumei's room tonight.
But if you don't feel well, you must come over and tell us immediately, OK?
OK. Go.
Let's go, Shumei.
OK.
I can't believe the charm water is so effective.
I must ask Mom to prick the doll harder tomorrow
so she'll become incontinent.
Spring Wine Restaurant.
Sis Runzhi.
Yes?
The old man is here again.
I think he doesn't have money to pay the bill.
It's OK. He looks confused. How much can he eat?
You man the cashier.
OK.
If you want more, feel free to tell me.
I'm 28 years old. I get drunk easily.
I threw away the peanuts I bought. My dad taught me how to sing this.
Sir, is this doll yours?
This is witchcraft. You mustn't touch it.
This is my brother-in-law. He knows occult practices.
You must listen to him.
That's right. Your life will be shortened if you practice witchcraft.
You must throw it away.
Sir, who taught you to do this?
My daughter did.
She wants to kill the bad person with pins. Kill her...Sweetheart.
Sis Runzhi?
Why did he call you his daughter?
Yes, she told me she's my daughter.
Last time I took you to the magistrate court.
You refused to go with me.
That's why I told him that I was his daughter.
I can't believe your memory is suddenly so good.
I see.
That's what happened. Why don't I take him back to his home?
Thank you.
She said she's the top scholars wife. She's the top scholar's wife.
Come on...
She's the top scholar’s wife.
You've left something behind. Let me get it for you.
That old man said Mrs. Qin is his daughter. Could he really be her father?
You said the old man's mind is confused.
He might mistake someone as his daughter or even his mom.
But he knew she was the top scholar's wife.
Perhaps Mrs. Qin forgot that she had inadvertently told him.
Fine. Let's presume that makes sense.
But she took the doll on the table
when she was about to leave with the old man.
How did she know the doll belonged to the old man?
That's simple.
Let's say Mrs. Qin tried to take the old man to the magistrate court.
But he refused to go with her.
So she gave him a doll to make him go with her,
like pacifying a kid.
But that doll is used for witchcraft.
Think about it.
That Mrs. Qin has offered to help the old man time and again.
I think they know each other.
Are they working together to hurt Xiaomei?
We can't let them carry on. I must expose them.
What if she denies it? You'll only alert her.
What if Brother Shaoyou won't believe it?
What I saw today might not be sufficient evidence.
You're right. That woman is so tricky.
I must work out a fool-proof plan
to catch her red-handed so she can't deny it.
Thank you for going shopping with me.
No problem. I'm just doing it to kill time.
The things you bought just now aren't expensive at all.
You're really thrifty.
I'm in charge of the family's expenses. I must keep a tight budget.
You said last time that
you had lost contact with your family in your hometown.
Have you heard from them yet?
Not yet. I'm really worried about them.
My husband knows so many people.
Let me ask him to send someone to look around for you.
OK. Thank you.
You're welcome.
But you need to tell me your parents' age and traits
so it'll be easier to look for them.
They're ordinary old people with grey hair.
They speak the local dialect.
It's that old man again.
Why have you come out again? Let me take you home.
I'll go with you.
No, I ran into a woman on the street last time. She's his wife.
She's very timid. She's never met you before.
I don't know what will happen if she sees you.
I can manage on my own. Let me take him home.
You go to Spring Wine Restaurant. I'll join you later...Let's go.
I want to eat noodles.
No eating noodles. Your wife is worried about you. Come on.
I want to eat noodles.
Treasure Inn.
It's closed. He said it was on sale.
I will hit that jerk when I see him so he won't talk nonsense again.
Qin Shaoyou's case is really a scandal.
That's right.
Di Daily said Qin Shaoyou and Su Dongpo fought over naming the unborn baby.
He's got two wives. Who's pregnant?
Of course it's Su Dongpo's younger sister. Why would they fight about the first wife?
Right.
Get out of my way...Let me see.
Hey, what are you doing? Why did you grab my Di Daily?
Di Daily.
Shumei, I'm glad to see you.
Just now I heard on the street that Su Xiaomei's pregnant.
What? I didn't hear anything.
Maybe she wants to tell people later. Look. It's reported in Di Daily.
Then she'll jeopardize my position.
Mom, take the doll out and prick it harder so she'll lose the baby.
OK. Go.
Why are there two dolls?
What? This one's ours. What about the one Dad played with just now?
It's just a copy.
Why are you guys here?
Why are you hiding your parents here
even though they've been in the capital for so long?
What other secrets are you keeping from us?
I...
Shaoyou, come over here. This was in the doll.
It clearly says: Meishan Su Xiaomei.
Xu Shumei, are you human? Xiaomei is so nice to you.
You're so ungrateful to hurt her with witchcraft?
I get it. You set me up, right?
What do you mean I set you up?
Would I suspect you if you weren't using witchcraft to hurt Xiaomei?
You asked for this.
How could that be witchcraft?
My dad is dumb. He just wrote it there for fun.
Fine. Let's presume your dad's dumb and wrote the words there randomly for fun.
I won't argue with you over that.
Just now, outside the door, we heard you
tell your mom to prick the doll harder so that Xiaomei would lose her baby.
That alone, coupled with this doll, could put you three in jail.
What has Xiaomei ever done to you? Why are you doing this to her?
She's nice? She stole my husband. Is that being nice?
Is there any woman
who would share her husband with another woman?
I should be the only top scholar's wife.
She couldn't stand her husband when he failed to become the top scholar.
So she made him write a declaration of divorce.
What did you say?
He's dumb. Don't listen to him. You really mustn't believe what he says.
Honey, don't talk to them anymore.
Take them to the magistrate court along with the evidence.
Then they'll tell the truth.
OK.
No...I don't want to go to the magistrate court.
I'll tell you everything.
Mom...
Go ahead.
When you failed in the Imperial Exam,
Shumei decided to divorce you.
She told us to send someone to make you write a declaration of divorce.
When you became the top scholar,
she wanted to get together with you for your money.
Right. So she swapped the declaration of divorce.
Mom, how can you tell him everything?
Shut up. Xu Shumei.
If you two don't want to go to jail, tell us everything you know.
Then we came to the capital and found Shumei.
She said she had put all the blame on us. Actually, this is her idea. We're innocent.
This is outrageous.
Shut up.
Mrs. Qin, why couldn't you live happily as a family?
Why did you do this?
Don't call her Mrs. Qin anymore.
From today on, I'm not related to you anymore.
No, Shaoyou. I know I was wrong.
Back then you decided to get a divorce with me.
You were so right to do that.
I wasn't mad at you back then. I won't be mad at you today.
Since I've already divorced you once,
I don't think I need another reason today to divorce you again.
You said before that if love is everlasting,
it doesn't matter if we can be together day and night.
Shaoyou, you know my love for you has always been true, right?
Just presume that
I never said that to you and we never met again in the capital.
Shaoyou.
You asked for this. Honey, let's go.
She planned to approach me.
Then she pretended to forget everything to gain our sympathy.
She knew we would ask her to stay.
She even swapped the declaration of divorce that I was keeping for Shaoyou.
She said she wanted to commit suicide so that we could be together.
So was that a show too?
She lied to us time and again. I got all of you into this. I'm so sorry.
It's good you realize that.
You even thought you were so lucky to have two wives.
Come on.
Brother Shaoyou, we're family. Don't blame yourself for this.
I can't believe that Miss Xu kept so many secrets from us.
To be honest, everyone has secrets.
The only difference is whether they can be disclosed.
Shaoyou, Xiaomei, do you have secrets?
Sis Mi, it's impossible that you don't have any secrets.
Honey and I have our secrets too, right?
No, I don't.
You have no secret?
Have you forgotten that your secret is that you had a crush on me?
This is a known secret.
Honey, will you be mad at me?
Why would I be mad at you?
If you had become a top scholar back then, I wouldn't have met you.
This is God's will.
That's not necessarily true.
If Brother Shaoyou had passed the Imperial Exam on his first attempt,
he would have come to visit my husband. You would have still met each other.
But then you'd really have to steal him from his wife.
Would I do that? If I knew he was married, I'd avoid him.
But he's got such literary talent. He's so handsome too.
Perhaps I wouldn't be able to hold myself back.
Xiaomei, let me tell you a secret.
Actually you know everything except the meaning of shame.
You said before if love is everlasting...
It doesn't matter it we can see each other day and night.
She was your wife after all.
I won’t be mad at you if you still love her.
I won't be jealous.
If love is everlasting, it doesn't matter if we can see each other day and night.
From now on, I will only see you day and night.
This line is exclusively for you.
But you're leaving town again soon.
How do I know if you'll say it to someone else when you're away?
Come with me then.
You can keep me company and enjoy the trip.
Really? Hey, honey.
Yes?
Where are you going this time?
Silk Village. Hey, what's the matter?
Silk Village again?
I told you the virus is still inside you. Hey...Honey...Help.
I don't want to go to Silk Village.
Hey, don't hit me.
Honey is so thoughtful. There's one more bag...
Yes.
Please put it on the carriage, OK?
Yes.
What do you want?
Gao Xing, Goa Gui, please give us a minute.
Yes.
Honey I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. What I did was terrible.
My parents don't want me now. I'm all alone.
We've been husband and wife for years. Please don't throw me out, OK?
Xiaomei, you can be the principal wife and I'll be a concubine.
I'll do anything. I'll be the concubine. Please let me come home, OK?
I have a question for you. You must answer me honestly.
I swear to God I'll tell you the truth.
Apart from hurting Xiaomei, have you hurt anyone else in the family?
No, of course I haven't.
I was stupid to resort to witchcraft. Please believe me.
You said you'd tell the truth?
We found a lot of evidence in your bedroom.
He pleaded for you so Brother Dongpo wouldn't report it.
The charge of practicing witchcraft alone is sufficient to have your family executed.
Just presume that I owe you from my previous life.
To return your favor, I will let you leave now. We're done.
Honey, you're not that cold-blooded. You're not.
Leave.
Give me back my husband...
What are you doing?
I didn't mind sharing my husband with you. But you were too greedy.
You asked for this. You can't blame anyone.
When you reason with her, she asks for compassion
When you show her compassion, she gives you sophistry.
There's no point talking to her. Go now.
Guest Inn.
You're coming out again?
We had to come out this time.
Get lost.
These aren't all our bags.
Don't you need to pay for the room?
I'm kind enough to give you back your clothes.
Mrs. Su, the buns you made are so nice. Master Su must love them.
He's meeting some scholars today. He doesn't know I'm going there.
I want to give him a surprise.
I want to eat that.
Chun Xue.
Yes, Mrs. Su.
Uncle Xu...You pulled him so hard. You'll hurt him.
You're so fake. You're hypocritical and sleazy.
You set me up.
You're the one at fault. You're blaming people for exposing you?
I was wrong to trust you. I didn't take precautions against you.
If I had known,
the first person I'd deal with in Su Mansion wouldn't be Su Xiaomei. It would be you,
Wang Runzhi.
Miss Xu, I really don't want to talk to you.
But if you carry on this way, you will only hurt yourself and others.
You're lucky. You're a happy housewife.
How would you understand the plight of poor people like us?
How could I not understand? I used to be a maid.
I got what I have today through proper means.
You're different. You asked for this.
I will ask God to let me live longer.
I want to see Su Dongpo get a concubine and watch her bully you.
Master Su won't do that. He gave Mrs. Su his promise.
Really? Dream on. All men are cheaters.
Mrs. Su, she's so unreasonable. Let's go.
Listen to me, guys. Take a good look at this woman.
She's a liar. She pretends to be kind. Actually she's wicked. I'm a victim.
Remember this wicked woman.
So many things have happened in our family lately.
It must be so uncomfortable for you to stay here. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry to trouble all of you.
Miss Qin Cao is so considerate. I must really learn to be more like you.
Sis Mi, do you miss Brother Zhe?
I suddenly have a headache. Perhaps I didn't sleep well last night.
I have some tranquilizing tea in my room. I'll give you some later.
OK. Thank you.
Can I have some too please?
Sure. You've stayed here for some time. You still aren't used to the bed?
The bed here is really comfortable.
But I'm used to sleeping on my own bed. I still can't adjust yet.
Actually you could ask His Majesty to let you to go back to Waterside Cottage.
I'm so happy staying here that I don't want to leave.
Why?
1 get to recite poems and verses with Officer Su.
I get eat the good food you cook too. Why would I want to leave?
If possible, I want to stay here for a while longer. Is that OK?
You're most welcome.
Since you enjoy staying here, you may stay as long as you like then.
Thank you, sir.
We're good friends. You're welcome.
Sir, are you OK?
I don't know. I was coughing today.
Honey, I have a pot of preserved kumquat. I'll make you a drink with that later.
OK.
Clouds hide at night. It's getting cold.
The Milky Way is silent. The moon is shining.
Such a beautiful night is not a given in my life...
My inspiration is gone with the coughing.
There's the bright moon to match the nice view.
The breeze and the moon are in step with one's heart.
Why isn't it a given in life, sir?
Miss Qin Cao, I was moaning in a melancholic mood.
How embarrassing.
I made snow lotus from Tianshan to help cure your coughing.
Snow lotus from Tianshan? That's very expensive and rare.
His Majesty gave that to you. It would be a waste to treat me to it.
You wear yourself out for the nation.
His Majesty is so lucky
to have you assisting him in providing for the welfare of the people.
You deserve to enjoy this snow lotus, which will make you stronger.
That sounds convincing. I'll tell you a secret,
I've never had snow lotus from Tianshan before. Thank you very much.
Try it.
OK...
So this is snow lotus from Tianshan. That's enough.
Be careful, it's hot.
Thank you.
I finally got a chance to eat snow lotus from Tianshan. It's really nice.
Wait.
