[The King's Woman]
[Episode 6]
So it was me.
I brought this on my Senior Brother.
Sir.
I have a way.
Please let me borrow a fast horse.
What do you want to do?
I hope you can take good care of my Senior Brother.
I will never forget this great favor.
Miss Gongsun.
If I hurry to Xianyang, it will take two days.
If I do not rest along the way, perhaps a day and a half is enough!
Senior Brother! You must wait for me! Wait for me!
You're hurt!
♫ I prayed for my blue wish. ♫
I'll help you bind it up!
♫ Narrating in details the changes in things as time passes. ♫
♫ The way you look at me is filled with love. ♫
♫ It is also a scar I am unwilling to remove. ♫
Does it still hurt?
♫ The road is long. My heart has chased him afar, ♫
♫ but who is the first one to forget? ♫
♫ How could I be satisfied with being unable to see through this? ♫
♫ My empty tears are tied down and are unable to be released. ♫
♫ What to do? Even if I turn around, I am destined to be alone, ♫
♫ but I do not demand forgiveness. ♫
♫ I look across the mountains and rivers. My yearnings for you are true. ♫
♫ I have merely turned around. ♫
You have arrived?
This is my palace. Why are you not bowing?
I, Gongsun Li, greet Your Majesty.
You have lost some weight.
Your Majesty has seen me before?
Please forgive my rudeness,
but I have never done anything harmful before.
Why does Your Majesty want to capture me?
This is my palace.
No one dares to question me.
Please forgive my rudeness.
You have come to my palace alone.
Are you not afraid of dying?
I am not afraid.
I hope that Your Majesty could save my Senior Brother's life.
I will not take your life.
Lift up your head.
Look at me.
Why is it you?
♫ I raise my glass to the war casualties. ♫
It looks like I (gua ren, personal pronoun used by kings) was drunk and went into the wrong room.
- Gua ren? - Your Majesty, have you always known Young Sir Zhao?
Oh, yes, we know each other.
Since King of Wey transferred here at Yewang, his every movement has been controlled by Qin.
He are not allowed to see anyone and is cut off from the world.
Then since he is isolated, how did you bring me in here to recover?
Now, everything is changing rapidly. If you run into trouble,
this token can keep you safe.
I should have guessed. The only one able to freely enter and leave the King of Wey's manor,
and to elicit such respect from the King of Wey, is the King of Qin.
That is why you wanted to capture me, whatever the price.
You said I once helped you. Is this how you want to repay me?
Say whatever you want. Now, my Great Qin is the most powerful state in the world.
I let you earn a debt from me. You should feel fortunate for that.
But you sent people that hurt my Senior Brother.
Any goal requires tactics.
So you gave me the token because you had a plan since that moment?
That was because I wanted to protect you.
I do not need your protection!
Then why did you come to see me?
Was it not because you have a request for me?
Now, you should understand. I will not take your life.
What I want is you.
Senior's life is in danger. I only have him left.
I can only give myself in exchange for the antidote and save his life.
I will not disappoint the hopes that Grandfather has for Senior Brother.
Alright.
Then give me the antidote. My Senior Brother is about to die.
How long?
Three months.
I will give him the antidote and wait for his body to recover.
During these three months, I will not let anyone know about our agreement.
Once three months passes,
I will immediately enter the palace. But if you hurt my senior,
you will never obtain me.
Alright. I will give you three months.
If you break your promise,
you know how I will punish you...and your Senior Brother.
Your Majesty. Miss Gongsun has left under the soldier's escort and headed for Anyi.
Very good.
Your Majesty, I am going to be bold and ask this.
You ordered to capture Gongsun Li, and ordered not to hurt her.
You used poison to attack her Senior Brother. Did you guess long ago
that Miss Gongsun would still sacrifice herself for Young Warrior Jing?
Li Zhong. As you see it, am I very cunning?
I do not dare.
I know that in the current world,
that person is the only one who can make me feel jealous.
Junior Sister...
Sir! Sir!
Miss Gongsun!
Sir! How is my Senior Brother?
He...
Miss Gongsun, just where did you go? I was so worried.
I have made you worried. I was afraid I could not get the antidote, so I did not tell you.
Where did you go to get the medicine?
Xianyang.
You went to the State of Qin? It takes at least four days to Xianyang roundtrip. You have suffered.
Sir, this is the antidote. Please give it to my Senior Brother.
Alright.
Miss. Miss! Miss!
Senior Brother!
- Senior Brother! - Junior Sister!
- You're awake? - You're finally awake?
Are you okay now?
You slept for a full day. I could not wake you up no matter how I tried.
Mister Tian said I ate the medicine,
but instead, it looks like you were also poisoned. You slept so deeply.
In the past, was I not a very deep sleeper?
As long as I fall asleep, I can even skip a few meals. You even teased me.
and told me to directly sleep in the pig pen.
Are you hungry? Do you want some rice porridge?
I will get some myself later.
It is getting late. The night is a little cold.
I will go out and get some firewood.
- I will go help too. - Okay.
Miss Gongsun.
I did not tell him about your trip to Xianyang.
He has been unconscious for many days, not knowing how much time has passed.
But the first thing he said when he woke up was asking about your whereabouts.
He thinks that the medicine he ate was made by me.
That is good.
I will ask one thing out of curiosity.
Just who gave you the antidote?
His power can shake the Heaven, his evil comparable to the demon.
I understand.
You must keep this a secret for me.
You must not let my Senior Brother know I went to Xianyang.
My Senior knows martial arts and is carrying the heavy responsibility of our clan and our country on his shoulders.
He surely has grand ambitions. I don't want to delay it.
Miss Gongsun, you really are a heroine with lofty sentiments.
I seriously have learned a lot from you.
I do not dare. I have embarrassed myself.
Rest early, Miss.
Now, you should understand. What I want is you.
Alright.
Then give me the antidote.
How long?
Three months.
I will give my Senior Brother the antidote and wait for his body to recover.
How is it? Is this warm enough?
It is enough.
Look at all your worrying. You are treating me like a child.
Look. I can even strike a few moves.
Enough!
You are not fully recovered yet. How could you suddenly use martial arts?
Not only will you hurt your internal power,
if you get sick again, what am I supposed to do?
I have made you worry. I am sorry.
You know that I will worry? Then hurry and recover!
By the way,
did you get this antidote, or did Mister Tian
find a medicinal formula?
That time, I was half dreaming, half awake, in a daze, not knowing what's happening around me.
But I remember Mister Tian said
that my injury
was cause by a poison made by a Qin sorcerer.
Such a serious poison. Who could treat it?
I...went into the city to ask about it.
I heard there were many famous doctors there that could treat poison. I asked many people.
They said that there was an alchemist
who could treat the poison. An old grandma told me about him.
Alchemist?
His personality was very strange.
He made me wait for a whole day before he would see me.
After he saw me, he would not give me the antidote either.
He said he had to read a fortune.
If the fortune says it could be treated, then he would give me the antidote.
How strange.
And then?
And then, of course the heavens helped me!
The fortune said it could be treated, so he gave me the antidote, and I brought it here to you.
At the beginning, I did not trust him. I felt like he was lying.
But it really saved your life!
Thankfully, he was not a quack.
Or else, I would have gone and torn his house apart!
- Then this medicinal formula... - Stop asking.
Recover well. Didn't you say
that you wanted to master the sword technique and then protect me?
How can you recover like this?
During this time while caring for me,
you have become exhausted.
Thank you, Junior Sister.
Without you,
I would have died long ago.
What is wrong?
Are you keeping something from me?
No, Senior Brother.
It is getting late. Rest early.
This will be good for your injury. Come, I will help you lie down.
Okay.
Careful.
Rest early.
I will go back first.
Once three months passes,
I will immediately enter the palace.
Alright.
I will give you three months.
If you break your promise,
you know how I will punish you...
and your Senior Brother.

Sixty four!
Sixty five! Lift it up higher!
Sixty six!
Sixty seven!
Count faster!
Sixty eight!

What are you doing?
- Seventy. - Still adding? - Both side are not the same already.
Hurry hurry! Lift up your hands!
Seventy one! Seventy two!
- Count faster! - Seventy three.
You can hang in there a little longer!
Seventy four!
- Mister Tian! - Mister Tian!
Mister Tian Guang!
Young Warrior Jing, you are looking pretty good lately.
But, you cannot overexert yourself.
It is because of your help while I was injured,
that my Junior Sister and I made it through this crisis.
Thank you, Mister Tian.
Do not be so courteous. This is what I should do.
The weather is pretty nice today.
Why don't you two go take a walk in the city?
- Okay, Senior Brother! - Okay!
Let us go play in the city!
Then we will go get ready!
Go on, go on.
Honestly! Couldn't you have hung in there for a little while longer?
I really could not keep going anymore!
Young Warrior Jing is young and hotblooded.
He loves Miss Gongsun deeply.
If he learns of the truth, will he be able to keep his calm?
[Anyi of State of Wei] Anyi is indeed the origin city of Daliang.
In terms of prosperity, it won't lose to the new city Daliang.
Yes.
I heard from legends that Leizu, Consort Yuan of Yellow Emperor,
taught the citizens here how to raise silkworms.
I think the silk here must be very good.
How about this?
I will bring you to buy some nice silk first. How about it?
Let us go!
There is a stall here!
Come and take a look. They are high quality silk scarves.
There are all sorts of designs!
Silk scarves!
Senior Brother! Do not waste your money.
When would I get the chance to wear this silk?
Girls are always like this.
You say you do not like it, but after you see it, you like it.
Is the red or pink one better?
Your wife has white skin.
Any one of them would look good.
This one is not bad too.
Purple.
Since you insist on buying silk for me,
then I will choose this one.
Okay!
- How much is this? - One wen.
You two are such a good match.
If you have children, a son would be handsome and a daughter would be beautiful!
Give birth to some more to serve your country!
Silk scarves!
Does it look good?
Yes.
I am afraid all the people will faint from your beauty.
What are you saying? People are watching. Let us hurry and go.
- Okay. - There are all sorts of designs!
- Silk scarves! - Move aside!
- This way. - Move aside!
- What is wrong, Senior Brother? - There are soldiers.
They might have seen the wanted posters. Let us find a place to hide.
There is no need, Senior Brother.
Did you not notice that the wanted posters are gone?
When were the wanted posters removed?
You have been recovering for two months. Naturally, you would not know about it.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Since the Qin made such large scale attempt to catch you last time, how come they will just withdraw the order?
Because I have been taking care of you all this time,
I do not know why, either.
Look. Didn't I say that it is fine?
They probably realized they were pursuing the wrong person.
Let us go.
Let us go eat some delicious food.
I think you mentioned something delicious before.
I think...it was something about a fish.
Yes, there is a type of fish that is especially delicious.
Then let us eat fish!
Okay!
Your Majesty, in the past, when Duke Mu of Qin proclaimed himself to be king,
there were still a lot of marquises and the power of the Zhou dynasty hasn't dwindled yet. No one ever thought of any merging strategy.
But during the time of Duke Xiao of Qin, the power of the Zhou dynasty has weakened.
The marquises merged their powers and now, only seven states are left.
Now, most of these marquises have pledged their allegiance to our Great Qin.
Like me who belongs to a commandery under Qin.
I think that with the Qin country's current strength, with Your Majesty's virtues,
wiping out the six states is as easy as sweeping the ashes from a furnace.
If we don't hastily try to achieve this plan and allow the other states to become powerful and think of making an alliance,
at that time, even if we had three or five virtuous kings, it would be hard to conquer the whole world.
What you said is so reasonable. If I want to rule the world, how should I go about it?
I think that the Han state is near Qin and is weak.
Please conquer Han first and shock the other states.
The nearby Han?
I'll make my decision after I consult it with my generals.
Thank you, Your Majesty for thinking highly of me.
You have submitted a suggestion of driving out guest ministers to preserve the wealthy and powerful reputation of our Qin.
I am conferring you the title of Tingwei Officer. Hope you won't disappoint me.
I thank Your Majesty's grace.
I will exert all my measly strength and promise to serve Your Majesty until my death!
Court adjourned.
Master previously said that in sword training, you must not waste a day.
Counting it, I have already been not training for almost 2 months. I really feel that I have wronged Master.
But it's not because you were lazy that you can't train, it was because you were injured.
Even if grandfather knows about it, he surely won't blame you.
No matter what, starting today, I will train harder,
and make up for all those days that I wasted.
If Young Warrior Jing has such intentions, I actually have an idea.
Oh, I am willing to hear it.
I know a noble warrior named Gao Jianli.
People call him the "Yanxiang Swordsman". He is from Yan state.
He previously told me that the biggest regret of his life
is he is unable to fulfill his dream of exchanging some moves with Warrior Gongsun Yu.
If he is able to meet with Gongsun Yu's descendants, he surely will be able to fulfill this wish of his.
It sounds like he is grandfather's fan.
Then...what does it have to do with helping my Senior?
This person is well-versed in knowledge, has a strong memory, and unrivaled in swordsmanship.
I suggest that Young Warrior Jing go exchange some moves with him.
If you are able to get his guidance, you surely will greatly improve.
That's great. Where is this person staying now?
Recently, he went to Qi state as a guest. If you want to meet up with him,
I can write a letter to him and you two can meet halfway.
That's great, junior sister, we must hurry and make preparations.
I already can't wait to meet with Warrior Gao.
I... will not go.
Not go? Why?
I... I have been taking care of you these days,
so I am a bit tired and sleepy. I want to use this chance to have a good rest.
It is fine. You indeed were quite exhausted these past days.
Fine then. If you are not going, I am also not going.
I hope that there will be an opportunity to meet him next time.
No, Senior, you must go.
How can I just leave you alone and go have a duel with someone?
If you get to be in any danger, how can I be at ease?
But...this opportunity is hard to come by. If you give it up for me,
I will feel guilty forever.
Young Warrior Jing, the travel to Qi and Wei is quite a long one.
Moreover, Miss Gongsun has been too exhausted for the past days.
I fear that her body can't endure a long journey.
If you are able to trust me, just let Miss Gongsun wait here.
You can travel quickly and concentrate on your duel. What do you think?
That is right. Even if I go with you, I only will hold you back.
If you go alone, you will not have anything to worry about.
Fine. I'll then just go and return as fast as I can.
You then must be more careful while you're left here alone.
Yes. I am not a child anymore.
When I return, I'll teach you the sword techniques that I'll learn.
By that time, don't complain that it's too hard and tiring.
Yes, I surely won't.
What's wrong, junior?
Nothing.
Junior sister, there are still quite some time before the duel.
- How about you practice with me so I can review my sword technique? - Sure.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
Do you still remember that paired sword technique we devised when we were little?
Of course, I do. I still remember that time
that we made an oath to use that sword technique to sweep across the martial arts world and claim dominance over the jianghu realm.

Senior...
Did you ever like me?
His Majesty is a man after all. Suddenly getting interested
and bringing back some ordinary folk women that he liked to the Palace
is nothing to make a fuss about, right?
Grand Queen Dowager is indeed right.
- Do not touch me! Get back! - No, Miss Gongsun...
- What is going on? - She is holding a sharp knife and will not let anyone come near her.
- Get back! - Miss Gongsun, being a Virtuous Lady (a royal concubine ranking) is the dream of many women.
Why then must you do this?
Miss Gongsun!
If you want to kill him, then kill me first!
Get lost!
Y-Yes.
You think I would not dare to kill you?
Huh?
♫ Although we are poles apart with the whole galaxy between us, ♫
♫ I wait a thousand years just for this once. ♫

♫ 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. ♫
