The King's Woman
Episode 35
Consort Li, what really is it that you want to say?
Sister, don't rush. My story is ending soon.
This marquis daughter that got dumped
bore hatred and grudges. She connived with the previous Crown Prince to secretly regain the throne.
The first step they did was to get married into the most powerful royal family in this world.
Could it be that she got married into the Qin royal palace?
The person you are talking about is Mindai?
Madame, Prince Jia wrote a secret letter saying
that there is merchant named Dun Ruo that is being active in Handan recently.
This person claims that he is from Qin but no one in the city knows about him.
I already sent someone to check up on him in Xianyang
and see if anyone knows about him.
Look.
Sir Dun Ruo, you are being too courteous.
This person might be a lobbyist of His Majesty.
His aim is to create division between the states.
But danger can also be a turning point.
If we can borrow his strength to attack and drag the Zhao King Qian down from his throne,
will that not help us achieve our goals earlier?
What Madame said is so right.
I will also write a letter to Prince Jia and tell him to be extra careful.
But...about Madame Li, how do you plan to deal with her?
This time, it surely will be hard for her to make a comeback in front of His Majesty anymore.
Although Madame Li is not really a threat to our Zhao,
she still can't be counted as an ally.
Even if His Majesty will ask for her life this time,
that is also something that she brought to herself.
Since that's the case, why then must Madame still ask for mercy for her?
His Majesty is a very suspicious person. If I am like that stupid Chu liangren
and will openly say bad things about her,
then His Majesty will surely shift his suspicion to me.
That's why, I just will ask for mercy in her behalf.
This way, His Majesty will believe more
that the person who betrayed him is Madame Li and not me.
Madame is wise. I have been lectured.
Your Majesty, I can swear by the Heaven that I did not frame Lord Han Fei.
That poison was given by Madame Min.
What did you say?
The glass beads on that poison container was especially given by me to her when she just entered the palace.
Wu Shangyi and all the people in my chambers can bear witness to it.
Of course, your servants will side with you.
Your Majesty, you must believe me.
Madame Min has an ulterior motive for entering the palace.
She and the past Crown Prince Jia intend to disturb the plan of our Qin to unite the world.
They killed the gifted scholar Lord Han Fei.
That is a scheme that she masterminded, Your Majesty.
I know already.
Is Your Majesty not going to go after the crimes of Madame Min?
Let us just talk about this matter next time.
Reporting! Zhong Guard Han Shen is requesting an audience.
Let him in.
Respectfully greeting Your Majesty.
You are back.
Yes. I was ordered by Madame Li to go out of the palace and do an investigation.
I just came back from Zhao State and was able to achieve something.
Since Madame is really concerned about this matter, may I ask Your Majesty to allow Madame to come here
so I could report this matter to you two together.
If I offended you in any way, may Your Majesty tell me.
Where is Madame Li?
Madame...
What are you planning to do?
Since you do not want to admit that you connived with Crown Prince Dan of Yan to betray Qin,
then our Yongxiang Prison is also not an inn that you can just eat and drink for free.
Your Majesty cannot bear to employ severe tortures against you
but I was tasked by Grand Queen Dowager Huayang
to make you leave some memorable memories.
Take her away.
- Don't touch Madame! - Don't come near me!
Qing'er! Qing'er!
Madame Li is not inside the palace.
Let me ask you. What did you do in Zhao State?
If Your Majesty will not tell me where Madame Li is,
forgive me for being bold, but I will not say even a word.
Where really is Madame Li?
Han Shen, you...
Okay. I will tell you.
Madame Li is in Yongxiang Prison.
Yongxiang?
That is the the most inhumane hell here in Qin.
Why must you lock Madame Li in there?!
She connived with Crown Prince Dan to let him escape out of Qin. That is a crime of lying to the king.
You most likely know about it, right?
Your Majesty, this Han Shen is really so disrespectful to Your Majesty.
He really is disregarding the laws.
Leave!
Yes.
- Li Zhong. - I am here.
Come with me.
Let me ask you for the last time.
Are you admitting to your crime of rebellion or not?
Not talking, is that it?
Then I will first test the
punishment of facial tatoo on you then.
Such beautiful face, too bad.
How about let us just test the punishment
of cutting off your toes?
Are you talking or not?
Fine.
What are you doing?! Stop!
I really will implement the punishment then.
What are you doing?!
If you dare to touch her again, I will immediately take you life!
Leave!
I'll go. I'll go.
Eldest Senior.
Eldest Senior, when did you come back?
Have you seen Marquis of Chang'an already?
How could he treat you like this?
How did you know that I am here? Have you seen His Majesty?
His Majesty is here!
His Majesty, please give me justice.
Don't be afraid. I am here.
Eldest Senior! Eldest Senior!
Han Shen! Do you know what you are doing?
Put down your sword!
I know what I am doing. Protecting Madame Li...
Oh, wrong, protecting my junior sister is my duty.
Your Majesty, starting today, she is no longer your woman.
I have long guessed that
the reason you stayed in my Qin is all because of your personal desire.
It's fine with me if you want to think like that. As long as I am alive,
I will never allow anyone to bully Li'er!
Han Shen! You are being unruly and disrespectful! Do not blame us for being discourteous!
Eldest Senior! Eldest Senior!
- Take him! - Yes.
Ying Zheng, can you even face Li'er?
She did all of these for you!
It was because of you that she told me to look for Marquis of Chang'an!
Marquis of Chang'an?
Explain things clearly. How is the matter of Madame Li
have anything to do with the Marquis of Chang'an?
Let my junior sister go first and I will tell you.
Your Highness Crown Prince and Lord Tian Guang.
Warriors, from here on,
my path back to Yan state will not have anymore hindrance.
I am thanking all of you.
Miss Ge Lan.
Are you alright?
I am fine. Your Highness Crown Prince need not worry.
Is it because this horse is quite stubborn so you are not comfortable riding it?
Do you want me to ask them to change your horse?
Your Highness Crown Prince, no need to trouble you.
I am just here to join the fun.
I really did not provide any help.
If I still let Your Highness Crown Prince do anything for me, I really cannot take it anymore.
Miss Ge, my riding skill is actually very good.
Why not this? The two of us just ride together.
I guarantee that your journey to Yan State will be like riding a boat in very tranquil waters, not bumpy at all.
Do not be courteous with me anymore. If a pretty woman like you
gets exhausted from riding a horse, will that not be a waste?
Let me serve you instead.
You...
Let us set out.
Okay.
Han Shen, you can say it now, right?
I request that a guest I brought from Zhao be called to come here.
- Let him in! - Let in!
Uncle, I am a bit afraid.
Child, do not be afraid.
Can you see that person on top?
That is the king that I told you about.
Your Majesty, this is the son of Marquis of Chang'an
and also your royal nephew.
Starting today,
Marquis of Chang'an Chengjiao has no connections with Qin anymore.
All are ties are severed.
Not seeing each other forever, alive or dead.
Child, what is your name?
My name is Xiao Yin.
What about your father?
My mother will call my father Ah Jiao.
You said earlier that your father is called Ah Jiao, am I right?
Yes.
I saw Marquis of Chang'an in Zhao State.
He, his wife, and Xiao Yin
are living in seclusion at a very simple ordinary people house.
I already wrote down here all that has happened from how I was instigated by Prince Jia
to how I end up leading a rebellion.
Have to trouble Guard Han to give this to His Majesty in my behalf.
Royal Brother recognizes my handwriting so he surely will believe you.
Marquis of Chang'an, you really do not want to go back to Xianyang with me?
In this lifetime, I already has no face to return to Qin.
But...
Xiao Yin is a descendant of Qin. He has the blood of the royal family of Qin flowing in his body.
He should go back and acknowledge his ancestors.
Not be like me who can only keep hiding all my life and living a indomitable life in a foreign land.
I...have wronged Royal Brother.
I wronged Qin,
my ancestors.
Your Majesty, we currently still do not know where Marquis of Chang'an is.
The background of this child is unknown so we cannot still conclude that he is the son of Marquis of Chang'an.
Shut up!
This name...
can only be known by me, the former king, and the royal mother of Marquis of Chang'an.
This is indeed the son of my royal brother. It cannot be wrong.
This is the letter that Marquis of Chang'an asked me to give Your Majesty.
He said that he already has no face to return to Qin.
He just wishes that Your Majesty can raise Xiao Yin well. That is all he asks.
Your Majesty punished Madame Li for helping Crown Prince Dan of Yan escape from Qin.
But it was Madame Li who told me to go to Zhao to look for Marquis of Chang'an.
When I was Handan, I coincidentally bump into His Highness Crown Prince.
His Highness Crown Prince considered that Madame Li helped him escape from Qin
so he told me the whereabouts of Marquis of Chang'an.
If not because of His Highness Crown Prince, in such a vast ocean of people,
I would never have a chance to bring Xiao Yin back to here.
Madame Li do not want Your Majesty to know about this.
She wanted me to secretly go there and test the intentions of Marquis of Chang'an
that is because she was afraid that if Marquis of Chang'an still has hatred against Your Majesty,
it will only make Your Majesty sad. If Marquis of Chang'an wants to unite with his brother,
change his mind, maybe it will facilitate a good matter.
Junior Sister kept thinking for your sake.
But Ying Zheng, how did you treat her?!
Han Shen, take note of the manner you speak!
Li Zhong!
If he still has the right for me to respect him as my king, no need for you to keep reminding me!
You...
Come.
Let me ask you. Did you stab Madame Min or not?
Your Majesty has been with me not just for a day.
What kind of person am I usually,
what things have I sworn to protect,
what people would I never hurt, does Your Majesty not know?
Then why must you sacrifice yourself just to help Yan Dan leave Qin?
Is it not all because of you?!
Junior knows that you clearly wanted to let Crown Prince Dan go.
You just cannot pull down your pride as the king of Qin
that is why you put him in house arrest. Giving yourself no room to advance and treat.
Junior sister does not want to see you in pain so she did such a thing as letting Crown Prince Dan go.
She would rather that she be in danger than others hating you.
While you...repaid her like this!
Senior...
Are you really thinking for my sake...
or...
you want to rendezvous with your second senior brother?
Ying Zheng! I also joined the rescue of Crown Prince of Dan!
One is my junior brother and one is my junior sister. If you want to blame anyone, blame me.
Moreover, before my junior brother rescued Crown Prince Dan, he totally did not know
that he will see my junior sister. How can there be an agreed private meeting then?
Eldest Senior, stop saying it already.
- Madame! - Junior sister!
How are you?!
She still is breathing. It must be from over-exhaustion after getting tormented.
Han Shen, let go of Madame Li!
Enough already. I will not Li'er continue staying here in this beast-like cage.
Ying Zheng, you better listen.
I will take her go. You are not worthy to be her king!
♫ Across numerous mountains and streams, I gaze at your beauty, ♫
♫ with the stars and moon as our intermediator. ♫
Stop him!
Whoever dare to touch me, I will fight with him til death.
♫ My love is locked outside this city’s gates. ♫
Arrest him!
♫ I waited until time and space have shattered, mountains and rivers have turned to ash, ♫
♫ and my face has withered. ♫
Let him leave.
- Your Majesty. - Let him leave!
♫ 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. ♫
♫ I waited until time and space have shattered, ♫
Li'er, I already am not qualified to let you stay by my side.
Letting you stay in Qin will only make you suffer more.
♫ and continue to reincarnate into this world. ♫
♫ I fully understand the innumerable twists and turns of joy and sadness. ♫
[Inn in Xianyang]
♫ We will travel across the vast heavens and earth. I will freely fly with you. ♫
Young noble warrior, I am already done.
How is she?
The wounds in miss are all superficial wounds. Good thing her muscles and bones were not hurt.
The person who hurt her was really quite cruel and ruthless.
I fear that she might need to recuperate for a few days before she can be fully cured.
Although it cannot be prevented that scars will remain.
What person could have did this to her?
It is unlikely for normal people to endure such wounds.
So sorry, Miss. It is inconvenient for me to tell you the story behind this.
May I ask young noble warrior if you and miss are husband and wife?
I am her eldest senior.
Then...there are some things that is better that I tell her once she wakes up.
Miss might have on and off fever these few days.
As long as her face does not darken, then there is no need to get overly worried.
Tomorrow, I will just come over to change her medicine and bandages.
Thank you for your troubles.
Li'er, I surely will protect you well from now on.
I will never let you get hurt again.
[Southern Gates]
My subjects, let us drink this cup for these young noble warriors.
Royal Father, for me to have been able to successfully leave Qin
is all thank to this warriors risking their lives to help me.
- Let me introduce them to you. - Okay.
This warrior is named Jing Ke.
He is from Wey State. He actually gets the top merit in helping me escape from Qin.
Thank you, Young Warrior Jing. Cheers.
Your Highness Crown Prince, you have overpraised me. I just contributed measly strength.
No such thing as achievements. I even have to thank Lord Tian Guang for making it all possible.
General Fan Wuji also risked his life to save us when we got in trouble. He also contributed.
Fan Wuji came after betraying Qin.
Have you all forgotten about me?!
There is still me. If not because of my information,
you all would not even know the whereabouts of Your Highness Crown Prince.
Yes, Young Warrior Jing, you also contributed great merits.
Do not worry. I will never forget you.
Since everybody are meritorious subjects,
I am granting all of you 100 liang of gold.
Come, come, everyone, let us drink this cup
for these young noble warrior and my Dan'er.
- Come! - Thank you, Your Majesty.
This...I heard from Dan'er that you all are highly skilled martial artists.
How about this then? Why do we not let these young noble warriors come forward and do some sword dance?
Also to add fun to me and my Dan'er.
My fellow subjects, what do you all think?
Informing Royal Father, Young Warrior Jing and the others escorted me to travel day and night.
They are already exhausted from the travel.
Moreover, highly skilled martial arts skill should only be shown during critical times.
Dancing with swords or spears in this merry banquet...
I think that since Young Warrior Jing and the others are our guests,
we should treat them as respectable noble guests.
That is indeed right. I have forgotten about it.
It is still Dan'er who is more considerate.
My favored subjects, go back to rest first. Let us just have a banquet again tomorrow.
Royal Father, we still will have a banquet tomorrow?
Of course.
Our distinguished Crown Prince was able to safely return.
Why then will we not celebrate for a few more days?
Royal father, I still have a lot of things I want to discuss with you.
Including the current war strategy of Qin and the future of Yan.
Of course. You have returned already.
We can just slowly talk about these things.
You have endured so much sufferings while outside so it is time that I make it up to you, is it not?
Also to show you my fatherly duties that I have not been able to do for so many years.
Everyone, do not feel restrained. Let us all drink and eat a lot.
Come, young noble warriors and my favored subjects,
for my Dan'er, for our future Yan,
let us all drink and leave only when we are all drunk.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Come. Come.
Everyone, do not be restrained. Drink all this cup.
Good wine. Okay.
Come.
Junior sister, I have finished preparing the medicine.
These past days that you were unconscious, the local doctor would come to change your bandage. Only last night did your fever lyse.
Do not know how Tianming is doing in the palace now.
I have been waiting for you to recover. Now that you are awake,
I will think of a way to get Tianming out of the palace.
How are you going to get him out?
That day, did Senior Brother bring me out of the Palace right in front of His Majesty?
How did he agree?
He did not hinder me. These past days, there were also no Huben Army that came after us here in Xianyang.
This is so unlike him. Do not know what he is thinking.
Eldest Senior, I must go back to the palace already.
Tianming these past days is surely sad already.
Li'er, about Tianming, I will think of a way.
Right now, what is important, is for you to recuperate in peace.
Eldest Senior, I cannot let you be in danger just for me anymore.
I will just go back to the palace and accept my punishment from Your Majesty.
Stop worrying about His Majesty already.
Li'er, I will never allow you to entrust your life to that tyrannical king again.
If Ying Zheng dares to touch you again, I will immediately kill him.
Junior Sister, I swear that I will protect you forever.
From now on, you and Tianming just stay by my side.
You two can go anywhere you want in this vast world.
Eldest Senior,
- I... - Move aside! Move aside!
Move aside! All of you get out of the way!
Move aside! Go there!
He is here.
Do not worry. I will never let him come near you again.
Move! Hurry!
Hurry! Leave!
Leave! Leave!
Leave! Hurry up!
Why did you come?
I came to see Madame Li.
No way.
I will not allow you to get near her again.
She is my royal concubine. If I want to see her,
I do not need your permission.
Are you even qualified?
Han Shen, I just want to know
if Li'er is doing well or not recently. No other motive.
Doing well or not?
Thanks to you, she had gaping wounds, drenched with blood, had fever so several days that only lysed yesterday.
You tell me, how many scars will stay on her?
It's all thanks to you. So you tell me how well she's doing!
I really do not know that she did it for me.
- If I knew, I would not... - Shut up!
Does it matter if you knew?
The truth is that you are suspicious in nature.
You've never trusted her.
That's why you would inflict such harsh treatments onto her.
Ying Zheng, no matter what happens,
I will not let you get closer to her again.
Your existence will only add to her pain.
Go already. I will guard Li'er by my own from now on.
You? You think you can safeguard her?
So, you don't think I can do it?
I knew all along that you lied to me.
You are Li'er are more than senior and junior.
You have a man-woman relationship.
That is why you have stayed next to her. Right?
I do not need to hide it anymore now.
Yes, I love her.
To me, in this world,
no one else is more important than she is.
Is that so?
Fine then.
However, I have something to tell Li'er.
You just try.
If only via fighting can we resolve this matter,
I will never fear it.
Okay. Just what I wanted.
If you can defeat me, then I will let you see Li'er.
If you lose, then
return Tianming to Li'er.
Fine.
Your Majesty, I am volunteering. I am wiling to fight in your behalf.
No, this is between me and Han Shen.
You all leave.
- Your Majesty... - Leave!
Yes.
Without my permission, no one is allowed in here.
Yes.
Leave.
Ying Zheng, you will never win against me.
Leave already.
I still haven't lost.
Are you not afraid of dying?
If I lose so easily, how can I rule the world?
Stop fighting!
- Junior! - I am not an object for you to fight over.
Li'er.
I know...
I do not have to right to force you to return to me.
I indeed do not have the confidence
that I can give you happiness. I am afraid that if I make you stay by my side,
Just like how I treated Han Fei.
In the end,
I killed him.
I will never send anyone to chase after you.
Preview Reporting!
General Meng, Han army is on the move.
What?
How come they are coming out to battle at this time? Are they planning to attack us?
Based from the report of our scouts, although the Han army has dispatched a huge number of men,
but they were not really going towards our army.
Instead, the encircled the forest at the back as if they are looking for something.
I received urgent news from General Meng today.
He said that in a battle expedition, His Majesty got separated due to an enemy attack. They still do not know if he is still alive.
What?
Ying Zhen is in trouble. I have to save him.
