The King's Woman
Episode 4
No matter for whom,
I will never back down
from the throne of Great Qin.
Then, we are destined to meet on the battleground.
Only one of us can remain alive.
Soldiers, hear my order!
Your Majesty, take your sword!
Soldiers, hear my order! Attack!
Li Zhong!
- Li Zhong, Wang Jian. - Here!
When did I order the Qin army to move forward?
Your Majesty! You have yet to give an order!
I was just worried about your safety!
Wait for my order!
Yes!
Chengjiao.
You cannot beat me.
So what? For father, for the Great Qin,
even if I must die, I will fight!
We both are wearing Qin type of clothing.
The soldiers wear the Qin military's black armor.
The brothers fought against the enemy and suffered together.
For this one fight,
you're willing to have the Qin citizens kill each other.
You say that this is for the Great Qin?
A fight must be fought! Whatever happens today,
either you or I must die!
I, Ying Zheng, swear to the heavens. If my Great Qin rules the six states one day,
I will share the world evenly with Chengjiao.
Then I, Ying Chengjiao, also swear to the heavens and the earth.
I will be loyal to His Majesty until my death.
♫ How can you say you don't have clothing? ♫
♫ I will share with you my robe. ♫
♫ The king and the soldiers go to war. ♫
♫ Repairing and maintaining our halberds and lancets. ♫
♫ We have the same hatred towards our enemies. ♫
♫ How can you say you don't have clothing? ♫
♫ I'll share with you my robe. ♫
Soldiers, listen to my order!
Here!
Qin citizens will not kill Qin citizens. From now on,
Lord of Chang'an, Chengjiao, has nothing more to do with the Great Qin.
Our ties are cut. In death or life, we will not see him again.
Withdraw!
Brother!
Senior Brother! Senior Brother, are you okay? What's wrong?
It is just a small injury. It is not a big deal.
Was it an internal injury caused by those group of evil people last time?
It's all my fault for not seriously training my martial arts before. With my current skills,
I have no way to protect you.
You should not rush so much, you should recover first. Do not worry so much about me.
How could I not be in a rush?
The Danding Sect is powerful and has many members. Since they want the sword technique guide,
they will come again within a short period of time.
Forget it, do not think about all that. Come and sit first.
Rest a little first.
Come.
Junior Sister.
What did you draw?
Senior Brother. After my grandfather died,
I have actually been wanting to leave the fights of the jianghu realm.
I want to go to a remote province or go in seclusion in the mountains' forests with you.
Have you ever thought about it?
In this drawing, this is me, and this is you.
We are watching the ocean together, enjoying the ocean breeze
because I have never been to the ocean before, nor seen the real ocean.
In the second drawing, this is me, and this is you.
We are riding horses across the grassy plain together.
We could watch the sunrise and sunset together. It is beautiful just thinking about it.
In the third drawing, this is me, and this is you.
We are visiting famous mountains and going across hundreds of rivers together.
Because mountainous roads are a bit rugged, when I am unable to cross over that barrier,
you would clasp my hand and climb to the top of the mountain with me.
It looks so nice.
If...it really is possible...are you willing, Senior Brother?
I...of course I...
Master...he
gave Grand Master's sword technique guide to me so I could take responsibility for the world,
and think of a way to attain the best kind of welfare for the world.
How could I hide away in the forest and ask for happiness for myself?
I was just overthinking. Senior, no need to be anxious about it.
Didn't you say you wanted to take me to Junior Master Lu?
We should get moving soon, right?
Let us go.
I do not know how far we can go.
But now, we only have each other.
If we can be like this, then let us go together.
Come!
Yan Dan. [Crown Prince Dan of State of Yan]
Your Majesty. [Crown Prince Dan of State of Yan]
Let me ask you.
When did I ever forsake Chengjiao?
We grew up in the palace together.
We learned martial arts and swordplay together.
Tell me. What did I
do wrong?
You did nothing wrong.
Our only fault is that we were born into the palace.
If you were not the King of Qin, you would not have lost your little brother.
If I was not Crown Prince Dan of Yan,
then I would not be here drinking wine with you.
If we were just regular people, why would Chengjiao fight with you for the world?
You and Chengjiao have deep brotherly affection.
You have gotten used to giving Chengjiao no reason to rebel.
Chengjiao has always been very calm. For this rebellion,
someone must have manipulated him.
Who would benefit from taking Chengjiao from your side?
From now on, Lord of Chang'an, Chengjiao, has nothing to do with the Great Qin!
Our ties are cut. In death or life, we will not see each other again.
I sacrificed everything for the State of Qin! I have no second loyalties!
I never thought that in my old age, the Lord of Chang'an would slander me like this!
Your Majesty. Everyone has left.
Only I have stayed by your side from the beginning until the end.
Your Majesty. In this world, only I,
your uncle, will never forsake you.
Shut your mouth!
Do you think that I do not know? All of this...
All the people I care about leave me one by one.
All of this was your doing!
Zheng'er! I never did things for my own sake.
If I wanted to take power, why would I need
to wait until you took the throne to acknowledge you as my son?
In all these years, do you still not understand a father's heart?
You are not allowed to call me Zheng'er!
You can choose not to acknowledge me. But you cannot deny
that I was the one who brought you here from the State of Zhao.
You can hate me. But you cannot deny
that I was the one who pushed you onto the throne of the Great Qin.
Without me, you would just be a forgotten prince!
Zheng'er. I can help you rule over the six states.
From now on, this world is ours!
You used me. Mother also used me.
Even the Grand Queen Dowager is the same.
No matter what,
as long as there is benefit to be gained,
you all are willing to do whatever it takes.
But Chengjiao was different.
He never fought with me over anything.
He always admired and respected me, treating me as an older brother.
My only family was Chengjiao alone.
Do you think he did not know that I am not the former king's child?
He always knew.
But he knew that I had no choice.
So he had always accepted it.
He is my only little brother.
It was you! For your personal desires,
you separated us on purpose! If not for you,
I would not have cut ties with Chengjiao.
You were the one who made everyone leave!
Zheng'er!
Get lost.
Go very far away.
I never want to see you again.
Get lost!
- Boss, a zongzi please. Here is the money. - Okay, wait a moment please.
- Here you are. Go slowly! - Thank you!
Zongzi!
- What are you doing? That is my money! Give it back! - Go away! Let's go!
That is my money! What are you doing?
They stole my money!
A group of men bullying an old lady. Do you not feel ashamed?
Stinky brat! Do not be nosy!
Give it here!
You are very skilled.
You are not bad as well.
You guys. Do not ever dare to bully the people again.
Or else, I will take your lives!
Hurry and get lost!
Hurry and go!
Thank you.
My money...
Granny! We got your money back!
Really? Thank you so much! It is all thanks to you!
You two are a perfect pair!
Look, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. If you two have a fat child,
he will definitely be very beautiful!
- It's a misunderstanding! - It's a misunderstanding! We're not-!
- You're not what? - Junior Sister!
Look, why are you two being shy? Come come.
- I will treat you to zongzi. Come, take some more. - Wow! This is great!
We get to eat delicious zongzi!
Why is she treating you to free zongzi?
I left for such a short time, but so many things happened! I can't believe it!
Thankfully, you were not here. Or else, those bullies
would have been beaten to a pulp by you!
That is right. Senior Brother, you are kind. If it were me,
- I surely will not easily spare them. - Miss Gongsun, I did not know you are so transparent with your feelings.
Not really. My Senior even tells me that my personality is too stubborn.
He says that I will definitely suffer in the future, right?
This personality of yours is quite good. Not sloppy
nor pretentious. There must be a lot of people who likes you.
Really? I did not know!
My father would definitely like you!
Because he keeps saying that I am too kind and too irresolute.
But I like your personality, Miss Lan'er.
You must be a very kind and magnanimous person.
We are just praising each other, right?
Miss Lan'er, your skills are not ordinary. What sect are you from?
My father taught me martial arts. We are from the State of Qin.
But my father hates the tyrannical government in the State of Qin,
so we left.
I won't keep it a secret. Right now, the masters of the State of Qin are pursuing us!
The State of Qin?
As far as we know, Great Warrior Ge Nie is the only warrior left from the State of Qin.
Yes, that is my father!
Father!
Wind Forest and Fire Mountain.
Let us go!
- Do not run! - Stop!
Forget it.
You cannot beat them.
Even so, we must fight! I must get revenge for my grandfather!
You will lose your life the moment you attack.
How are you supposed to get revenge?
How about you practice first for ten years? After your martial arts improves,
then you can get revenge. Is that not right?
They killed my grandfather.
And I cannot do a thing!
I know you are very sad.
Do not blame yourself. I cannot do anything either.
Miss Gongsun, Young Warrior Jing, goodbye.
Lan'er, let us go.
Great Warrior Ge!
Please let me bow to you!
I am unskilled. I am unable to fully grasp the meaning of martial arts, hence, unable to take revenge for my master.
I hope that you will ignore the past and take me as your disciple!
I will definitely work hard and practice.
So that I will be able to personally kill my enemies and seek vengeance.
Young Warrior Jing.
Your master, Gongsun Yu, was skilled with the sword.
He was famous and patriotic.
I am just an old loner.
If you follow me,
you will ruin the Gongsun family reputation.
Great Warrior Ge,
ever since Master died, my junior sister and I have been traveling the jianghu realm.
Only then did I know how incompetent my martial arts was.
Do not even talk about vengeance. I cannot even protect Junior Sister!
I am worried that before I master my martial arts,
my Gongsun sect
would have been destroyed long ago!
Young Warrior Jing.
I don't make alliances with different sects.
I never accepted any disciple in my lifetime.
I know that you are sincere in getting revenge for your master.
But, I will not make an exception for you. You should give up.
Get up.
Lan'er, let us go.
Please wait, Great Warrior Ge.
Great Warrior. Even if you do not take my Senior Brother as a disciple, we can at least become friends.
Did you like the Xishu cinnabar I sent you two a few days ago?
Yes, I like it.
Grand Queen Dowager, you treat us the best.
You give me cinnabar and silk. [Madame Min]
The precious Yangzhou jade you gave me when I just entered the palace,
Until now, I cannot bear to put it on.
The precious jade form Yangzhou and the gold, silver, and bronze from Jingzhou, [Madame Chu]
are all special products that we at Chu are proud about. [Madame Chu]
The Grand Queen Dowager truly loves you, Sister Min Dai.
The jewelry prepared for you is of the highest quality.
Fusu is so smart and cute.
But his mother, Madame Zheng, died so early.
The Qin state is flourishing so official matters will surely be abundant.
In the future, we will need more princes to help shoulder the king's burden.
Just Fusu alone is not enough.
I have ordered the royal physicians to prepare nourishing medicine for you to improve your health.
In the future, you two will give Fusu some little brothers.
So that our harem can become full of youthful energy.
- Yes, thank you Grand Queen Dowager. - Yes, thank you Grand Queen Dowager.
Wet nurse, take Fusu away.
Yes.
Ruo'er, you seem troubled.
There is one thing.
But I do not know if I should tell you about it.
Ruo'er, you know that ever since you entered the palace,
I have treated you as my own granddaughter.
Now, the Queen Dowager is not in the palace.
You can tell me whatever you are thinking about.
Yes.
Actually, ever since I entered the palace,
I have never spent a night in the His Majesty's chamber before.
What?
It is not just me. It is the same with Little Sister Min Dai.
His Majesty would occasionally come to my chamber, but he never stays the night.
I often go to visit His Majesty,
but he just says he is used to sleeping alone instead of with others.
Recently, even the His Majesty's visits have decreased.
His Majesty also not let us enter Guang'an Palace without permission either.
I just do not know what I should do.
Min Dai.
Is Ruo'er telling the truth?
Yes.
His Majesty concentrating in governance and being busy in wars is indeed just right for he is the ruler of the state.
But to increase the number of his descendants in the harem is also important.
Good thing that you two honestly told me the present situation.
In the future, I will find a chance to remind His Majesty.
You have both suffered.

Good morning, Brother Jing!
You woke up earlier than me!
I got used to me. My father makes me wake up early every morning.
He said that only practicing Qi early in the morning can convert it to internal energy.
It looks like I must get up even earlier
to become as amazing as Great Warrior Ge.
That is right. Where is Great Warrior Ge?
My father had an emergency, so he left first.
Did you eat breakfast yet?
Not yet.
I was waiting for my junior sister to get up and then eat together.
The weather is so nice today!
Good morning, Miss Gongsun!
Good morning, Miss Lan'er!
I intend to go practice martial arts. Do you want to come with me?
I will not go.
Yesterday, Junior Master Lu gave me some clothes for you.
I have to change the measurements in a bit.
I am afraid you will catch a cold before you master your martial arts.
How about it? Aren't I a great person?
With you here, what else can a husband ask for?
Miss Lan'er is here! What nonsense are you saying?
You two really have such good relationship. So envious of it.
Anyway, I will not be doing anything later. I will help you alter the clothes.
Sure. It is also quite boring to do sewing work alone.
Miss Lan'er, hurry and come up here.
- I will go practice then. - Okay.
I will wait for you.
Wait for me?
There was quite turmoil in our state.
The rebellion of Chengjiao and Lao Ai have now been successively put down.
Your Majesty has been toiling too much lately.
Grand Queen Dowager, I have worried you.
Since Your Majesty is toiling in the battlefield, when you come back to the Palace,
why not let your consorts do their best to serve you and relieve you of worries?
I know.
I am glad you know. Or else, I still have to worry about it.
Zheng'er, you are in your prime years. Why then are you neglecting your consorts?
Do you not like the consorts and concubines I chose for you?
That is not the reason.
It is just that...
Rather than playing chess and drinking teas with my wives,
I like to discuss military tactics with my generals more.
Maybe because of that, my wives have felt that I have neglected them.
Since the consorts are not able to get your liking,
and since it has already been months since your crowning ceremony,
do you think it is time to consider the naming of a queen?
Although this is a harem matter,
only with a peaceful family and a stable state can you go conquer the world.
The queen must have both skills and good character so she can be a role model in motherly love.
I think that
Madame Chu has talent and beauty. She and Your Majesty are very compatible.
Li'er, is it you?
Is it really you?
Grand Queen Dowager, you have given much effort to the matter regarding my queen.
I have made up my mind. What I am waiting for,
is a talented girl like King Wu Ding of Shang's queen.
With both intelligence and good fighting skills, she won the hearts of people by her virtue.
A person who understands military tactics and can fight for the world with me.
Wu Ding's queen, Fu Hao, was a military general and a court official.
She follows the mandate of the Heaven, can lead the army, and has won the hearts of the people.
Such a capable queen is rare.
If I cannot find such a girl, I would rather not name a queen.
I have made myself clear. If there is nothing else to discuss,
I will take my leave.
I understand. You can leave first.
Miss Lan'er, you sew so well. Did your mother teach you?
My mother died very early.
But I help my father mend his clothes. That is probably why I sew well.
Me too. My mother also left me very early.
My mother and my father guarded Puyang City until the last moment.
Then, did Great Warrior Gongsun raise you?
I am closest to my grandfather.
So, I learned martial arts with him since childhood.
Look. My sewing is a mess.
It is not that bad.
But now that you mention it,
listening to you talk about your past,
I feel like you are very similar to me. What do you think?
You think so too?
The first time I saw you, I felt very close to you!
How about this? Let us swear to the heavens today
and become a pair of sworn sisters! Let us take care of each other from now on. What do you think?
Okay!
To the heavens above, and the earth below,
- I, Gongsun Li, - I, Ge Lan,
from today on, will become sworn sisters.
We do not ask to be born on the same day, month, and year,
but we wish to die on the same day, month, and year.
Miss Lan'er, from now on, you should call me Big Sister,
and I'll call you Little Sister. What do you think?
Okay, Big Sister!
If anyone bullies you, you must tell me. I'll beat them up!
Me too!
This is great! I finally have a little sister!
And I finally have a big sister!

"The Heaven sent me here to speak these words.
The criminal Lao Ai unleashed destruction in our world and turned his sword against me.
He has commit a very grave act. He is being sentenced to death by dismemberment, punishment divided for a total of 100 days.
Lao Ai's clan is to be annihilated.
The corporal punishment will be divided for a total of ten days."
Yes, Your Majesty.
- Li Zhong. - I am here.
Did you complete what I ordered you to do?
Your Majesty, it has been done. We can begin at any time.
- Announce it! - Yes!
Everyone, listen! From today on, our Great Qin will pursue a girl from the State of Wey!
Gongsun Li!
What about this one?
- This bracelet is very pretty too. - Right, very pretty.
What is going on?
What happened?
Come and take a look!
- Go and take a look. - Let's go.
[Wanted]
Why do I feel like you resemble this person on my wanted poster?
Junior Sister!
To be honest, no matter if it is the State of Qin or Xiahou Yang,
I do not care about either one.
I only want to look for an earthly paradise with Senior
and stay away from the battles of the jianghu realm.
I want us to be a pair of regular people.
Senior Brother! Senior Brother!
Senior Brother! Senior Brother, do not scare me!
Senior Brother! Do not scare me! What should I do?
Senior Brother! What should I do?
You must not die, Senior Brother!
- Who are you? - I initially planned to meet a friend this morning. [Yan State, Tian Guang]
But sadly, my friend has went on a trip. I coincidentally bump into you and saw you were traveling with difficulty so I cannot help but to ask.
What do you want?
♫ Although we are poles apart with the whole galaxy between us, ♫
♫ I wait a thousand years just for this once. ♫
♫ Across numerous mountains and streams, I gaze at your beauty, ♫
♫ with the stars and moon as our intermediator. ♫
♫ The distant sky and sea converge. ♫
♫ The dark night falls. ♫
♫ My love is locked outside this city’s gates. ♫
♫ I painfully await my lover’s return. ♫
♫ I waited until time and space have shattered, mountains and rivers have turned to ash, ♫
♫ and my face has withered. ♫
♫ I leave love behind, and continue to reincarnate into this world. ♫
♫ I fully understand the innumerable twists and turns of joy and sadness. ♫
♫ I will follow you through life and death. ♫
♫ We will travel across the vast heavens and earth. I will freely fly with you. ♫
♫ Yearning for you is better than lonely seclusion. ♫
♫ You are my only weakness. ♫
♫ I gaze with eager expectation. My tears fall like meteors. ♫
♫ I use a mirror to fix the makeup on my eyebrows. ♫
♫ If I can peacefully rest in your heart, ♫
♫ I will not fear rain nor wind. ♫
♫ The troubles of the secular world will become as still as water. ♫
♫ Even if my body shatters, or if my soul becomes ashes, ♫
