[General And I]
[Episode 7]
Do you think that you could get by with writing such nonsense?
Don't try to be smart.
Rewrite it!
This concerns Prince of Zhenbei's life.
How would I dare to write any nonsense?
These military manuals were written by high masters in the ancient past.
The characters are supposed to look like this.
It's normal that Your Highness can't decipher it.
Are you implying that I'm illiterate?
That isn't up to me to judge.
You...
It seems that Your Highness really is illiterate.
- Hit her! - Yes!
How sharp-tongued you are!
Let's see if you still dare to utter such insolent words.
I'm just telling the truth.
Your Highness was bestowed with good looks.
It's good enough for serving His Majesty.
Naturally, you won't need to understand the ancient characters.
These military manuals can be kept for the queen.
I heard that even His Majesty is in awe of the queen's knowledge.
You...
Hit her again!
If Your Highness beats me to death
I'm afraid that not only will His Majesty be unable to get this military manual
but also a rift will be made between him and Chu Bei Jie.
It will be a grudge so deep that nothing could reconcile them.
That is to say my death alone
will cause His Majesty his right-hand man.
How worthwhile it is!
As the culprit of such a huge loss
I wonder how Your Highness will explain your actions.
You're threatening me?
I'm just being frank.
Do you really think that I'd care about this manual?
Once you fall into my hands, don't you dare dream of leaving.
- He Xiang. - Present.
I worry about your hands.
Go and fetch a whip.
Yes.
I'd like to see how long you could bear with it.
Imperial Physician, how is the prince?
He's badly wounded. Fortunately, it's just flesh wounds.
He will need to rest and recuperate.
Thank you, Imperial Physician.
You're too kind.
Mo Ran.
Head out of the city to check
if Ping Ting has fled and settled in a safe place.
Your Highness...
Miss Bai, she...
She came back here again.
What did you say?
Your Highness.
Where is she right now?
Your Highness.
Miss Bai went to the palace to seek audience with His Majesty.
She's been dragged into Fangqin Hall.
Foolish!
Your Highness! It's best for you not to go there.
Miss Bai made her own choice.
Imperial Guards are all waiting outside now.
You probably won't even make it out of the courtyard in this condition!
Who knew that you'd try to talk me out of it?
- Your Highness! - Forgive me!
Your Highness.
Your Highness, do rest assured.
Even if it were the underworld, I'd barge right in there with you!
Your Highness.
Hit hard!
Keep going!
Your Highness!
Prince of Zhenbei.
Here you are.
Why did you come back?
Why would you make me so worried?
You are not to take her away!
Prince of Zhenbei...
Everything that His Majesty did was in your best interests!
If you insist on taking her with you, you'll only ruin your reputation.
You must not act so foolishly!
She is but a witch.
How could you demean yourself to be seduced by her?
Step aside!
Your Highness!
Go away!
Your Highness!
Calm down, Your Highness!
Your Majesty!
Noble Consort.
Your Majesty!
Noble Consort, what is the matter?
I have failed to accomplish the task you entrusted to me.
I came to ask for punishment.
Rise quickly.
What exactly happened?
Your Majesty...
I was told to supervise Bai Ping Ting while she transcribes
the military manual from memory.
Who knew that Chu Bei Jie would suddenly barge into my home
and take Bai Ping Ting away by force?
I did all I could to persuade him, but he insisted on taking her away.
He even injured me.
Now that Bai Ping Ting has been taken away by Chu Bei Jie
Your Majesty must make a decision swiftly.
How atrocious!
Your Highness!
Great General has returned!
Great General!
- Great General! - Your Highness.
Great General has returned!
Hurry up! Great General has returned!
Great General.
- You have finally returned! - Indeed!
What is going on?
Great General has returned?
- Great General. - What is going on?
Isn't Great General just fine?
- Exactly. - You have finally returned.
- They said he has smallpox? - It's fine that he's well.
- Certainly. - Who spread the rumors?
What exactly happened, Great General?
Great General!
Soldiers!
You must have heard those rumors about me.
You must be wondering if Chu Bei Jie really did conspire with our enemies.
As the Chief Commander of all armed services
I have the responsibility to step forward to explain myself to you.
Listen up!
I, Chu Bei Jie, never once betrayed Great Jin!
Exactly! We knew that Great General would never do so!
- Exactly! - That's right!
We definitely believe Great General!
We believe Great General!
She is Bai Ping Ting.
The one you call the spy of Yan State.
Everyone is asking why I've defended her even though she poisoned me.
She must be a witch who can influence one's mind.
She is no witch.
She is my life savior!
When I was a child and was treated by others like a plague
she reached out to me then and made me believe that
there is still compassion and love in this world.
Her father died rescuing me.
Without them...
I would long be dead 20 years ago.
Brother!
I made an oath to protect her for life.
But then we were forced apart.
I said to myself
that even if I have to travel to the end of the world
I will find her.
I will protect her.
As long as the gods would let me find her again
I will never let her go.
She has been through great turmoil on her own.
Fortunately, she was taken in by Prince of Jing An's Manor
and became their maidservant.
In the past 20 years, I don't know if she has led a good life.
[Prince of Jing An's Manor] But from the moment I found her
I couldn't wait to make it up to her.
The guilt I carried with me grew over the past 20 years.
I destroyed the place she called home.
I forced her to marry me.
I made her stay by my side.
If she really wanted to poison me, I would be dead by now.
If she had the heart of a viper
how could she possibly turn herself in
and sacrifice herself to prove my innocence?
What she had wanted was just to meet His Majesty
and persuade him to cease fire.
She wanted to use her meager power
in hope of bringing the people of Jin State and Yan State some peace.
For all that I have done
was just what a husband would have done to rescue his own wife.
How can a man who can't even protect his wife
be qualified to protect his own nation?
I am loyal to my emperor.
But I'm also faithful to my wife.
Should His Majesty force me to kill my own wife...
I could only choose to take my own life.
We support Prince of Zhenbei!
- We support Prince of Zhenbei! - Protect his family!
We support Prince of Zhenbei!
We support Prince of Zhenbei in protecting his wife!
We support Prince of Zhenbei!
We support Prince of Zhenbei in protecting his wife!
Your Highness! His Highness has returned!
Come out here quickly!
- Hurry up! - Your Highness!
Come out here quickly! His Highness has returned!
- Your Highness! - His Highness has returned!
- Your Highness! - Your Highness!
His Highness has returned!
Put me down!
- His Highness has returned! - This is wonderful!
I'm willing to carry you.
I didn't expect you to come back to rescue me.
I also never thought that we'd be able to see each other alive again.
Now that we're home, don't ever think of running away again.
I won't allow it.
Nothing is predictable in life.
I wouldn't want to lie to you either.
You're already on my bed now.
You're still being stubborn?
Don't come any closer.
I thought that you know no fear.
Your Highness.
Here.
These are the Yan State snacks that I had the cooks made for you.
I'm worried that you're not used to the food here.
Why do you keep staring at me?
You think that I'm a tiger?
Will I eat you up?
Even if I were a tiger, I would find you too skinny.
I'd have you made chubbier before I eat you.
Here, lie down.
Your Highness.
What did you call me?
Your Highness?
I like that.
Get some sleep now.
His Majesty arrives!
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Do rise.
I didn't know Your Majesty was coming, so I hadn't prepared much.
Anyone there? Bring a set of silverware for His Majesty.
Don't bother.
This is just fine.
Delicious!
My queen still cooks the best.
Your Majesty doesn't eat here often, so you find it quite refreshing.
Will Your Majesty leave after dinner?
I'll be here again tomorrow.
Your Highness.
Is His Majesty here?
His Majesty has gone to Yongyan Hall for dinner.
Eunuch Wang said that tonight, His Majesty...
Let me attend to your wound first.
Your Highness's arm is so fair.
This huge slash right down your arm...
This wound...
It makes me so upset to look at it.
It had better not leave a scar.
Apart from you, no one would be upset about it.
What use is it that you're upset?
Your Highness.
At such times, I can't help but miss my family.
He Xiang.
Pass on a message to the chancellor tomorrow.
Tell him that I am ill.
Summon him to visit me.
Yes.
Reporting to Your Majesty. Bai Lan State is in national mourning.
They are escorting Princess Yao Tian from Liang State.
They wish to pay Your Majesty a visit along the way
and sent their envoy to convey this message.
Oh?
The royal family of Bai Lan State has always been small.
I remember back then
Bai Lan State and Liang State made a peace treaty after the war.
They did send a princess to Liang State as a hostage.
Your Majesty.
That is indeed Princess Yao Tian.
After the sudden death of Bai Lan State's new king
this princess is the sole descendant of the royal family.
She seems eager to rush home to take over the imperial court.
Yet this princess isn't rushing home right away.
Instead, she's taking a detour to Jin State.
This is obviously a longer route.
Such actions do imply something.
Your Majesty is very wise.
Now that old Prime Minister Gui Chang Qing
has Bai Lan State's imperial court under his control
it was also his idea to bring this princess home.
He will probably hold her in his power to command the officials.
I think that the princess returns home helpless and alone.
She will also be manipulated by Gui Chang Qing.
We must be cautious that he has set his eyes on us.
Compared to Bai Lan State, Jin State is like
a deeply rooted old tree with plenty of leaves that reaches high into the sky.
If Your Majesty could promise her protection
the princess surely wouldn't have to worry about her safety.
Interesting.
When will she arrive?
In three days.
If so, I'll trouble Prime Minister to make all necessary arrangements.
I'm quite interested in Bai Lan State.
Young Master.
Bear with it.
Let me attend to the wound first.
Once we get back to the manor, we can have you treated.
There's a traitor in Puban City.
We can never go back there.
Young Master.
What should we do now?
[Memorial tablet of Prince of Jing An General of Jianwei]
[Memorial tablet of Murong Heren Supreme Princess]
Father.
Mother.
I am unfilial.
After all this traveling
I can't even find a secure place to set up a memorial platform for you.
When you were both alive
you provided me with a life of luxury and bliss.
What about now?
Your souls roam the lands homeless and endure such hardship with me.
I am truly unfilial!
Please punish me!
Old Prince of Jing An.
Supreme Princess.
Young Master already did his best.
You mustn't blame him.
I swear that as long as I shall live
as long as I still have one breath left in me
I will have Chu Bei Jie torn to shreds.
In this lifetime, I will avenge the deaths in Prince of Jing An's Manor.
Father and Mother, please watch over me.
Young Master, who is in that carriage?
Isn't that the royal carriage of Bai Lan State?
King of Bai Lan just died. Who could be in there?
Princess, we have reached the campsite.
Please step out of the carriage to get some rest.
[Princess of Bai Lan State, Yao Tian]
[General Gui Yan of Bai Lan State]
General Gui.
Your Highness, please.
General Gui, thank you for your hard work.
You're too kind.
To be able to offer my service to Your Highness is my utmost...
I'm a bit tired.
I'd like to get some rest in private.
General Gui.
You are dismissed now.
Yes.
- Dismiss now. - Yes.
Throwing your airs about?
You will be mine sooner or later anyway.
Lu Yi, you are all dismissed now.
Yes.
Who is it?
Don't say a word. I won't hurt you.
Who are you?
What is this place?
Princess.
Don't be frightened.
I'm not a bad person.
- I won't hurt you. - Don't come any closer!
Is this what you're looking for?
What are you doing?
The signal has been fired.
Your guards will be able to find you here very soon.
Could you set your mind at ease now?
Before they get here
I, He Xia, would like to say a few words to you.
You are He Xia?
Yes.
He Xia, Prince of Jing An's Manor.
Sadly, my entire family and household has been killed.
All I have is my ambitions, but there is no place to realize them.
Princess.
I've heard a bit about Bai Lan State.
Your father passed away when he was young.
Your older brother just passed away.
Your Highness is the only surviving member of the royal family now.
I'd like to offer Your Highness some assistance.
I know about you.
Yan State's Young Prince of Jing An.
You're a renowned warrior.
It's a pity that...
I'm sorry.
I've also heard about the mishap of your family.
Princess.
As long as you will have me, I am willing to stay by your side
and dedicate my life to fortifying Bai Lan State.
You mean to say that you wish to serve Bai Lan State?
Yes.
But...
Princess.
Here.
It's cold out here. Don't catch a cold.
Put this on.
I should escort you back.
Although I sympathize with your family's misfortune
we have never met.
I know too little of you.
How could you prove your words true?
They are over there!
Seize that criminal immediately!
I have come late to your rescue.
Please punish me for making Your Highness suffer a fright.
I am just fine.
General Gui, do rise quickly.
Yes.
Despicable criminal!
How bold you are!
How dare you kidnap our princess?
- Take him down! - Stop it!
Your Highness!
He is my prestigious guest.
Step down this instant!
Do you not hear me?
Release him!
My men have acted recklessly. Your Highness, do forgive them.
I'm very honored to be advised by Your Highness today.
However, this meeting is too short.
We have not yet talked to our hearts' content.
I wonder if Your Highness would care to join me in my tent.
There are a few political issues that I have yet to figure out.
I'd like to seek your advice.
I shall obey your orders.
Your Highness.
Which prince is he?
He is Young Prince of Jing An.
Your Highness.
This way, please.
After you, Your Highness.
Young Prince of Jing An?
That Young Prince of Jing An whose father was killed by Jin State?
Your Highness, this way.
Princess.
Your Highness, please have a seat.
I invited you over to ask you about something.
Is Your Highness serious about pledging your allegiance to Bai Lan State?
I've approached Your Highness in utmost sincerity.
Your Highness invited me into your tent.
Would you be willing to trust me wholeheartedly?
Wholeheartedly?
Is Your Highness joking?
10 years ago when your own brother sent you away to Liang State
Your Highness probably stopped believing in anyone then.
Everyone knows that my family was slaughtered.
Your Highness must now be speculating that
I might just be using Bai Lan State as a temporary hideout.
I might not truly wish to pledge allegiance to it.
Moreover, if I were to reside in Bai Lan State
Jin State and Yan State surely wouldn't let you off.
It's inevitable that you would think so.
However, what I wish to tell Your Highness
is that you can't judge my sincerity by the words I said today
but by the actions I take in the future.
Moreover, I believe that Your Highness is the most concerned about
the security of your position back in Bai Lan State.
If there is civil unrest, how could you fend off foreign invaders?
Who would truly pledge allegiance to Your Highness?
Are you to depend on that man eavesdropping on us outside your tent?
Princess!
How could you spend time alone with a strange man?
I'm not eavesdropping on you.
I'm worried that this uncouth man would molest you.
General Gui, worry not.
Your Highness.
I have made up my mind.
I'm willing to reach my hand out to you.
I hope that Your Highness will not betray the promise you made today.
I, He Xia, will pledge my allegiance to Your Highness and Bai Lan State.
Ping Ting.
This is my military manual.
Memorize it quickly.
Quickly.
Hurry up. Quickly!
Ping Ting, bear this in mind!
This manual matters more than your life!
Memorize it quickly!
Quickly!
Yes.
Hurry up.
Recruit talent.
Apply wisdom.
Lay formation.
Take precautions.
Recruit talent.
Apply wisdom.
Lay formation.
Take precautions.
