The King's Woman
Episode 37
General Meng
Your Excellency Li. You finally came.
Have you found His Majesty?
No
Have you searched the mountains?
We cannot search the mountains.
His Majesty missing is a serious matter.
I am afraid we will alert the enemy.
What if we can't find His Majesty and the enemy knows about this instead?
I also know about this. If the Qin army loses this battle and this area,
it will be harder to find His Majesty.
Indeed
The Wei army is closing in.
I do not know when the Han army will make a comeback.
In order to guard here to wait for His Majesty to return,
I really do not know how long we can support these troops.
Reporting!
Informing General, the Han army has set out to battle.
What?! Why did they send out their army at this time? Are they planning to attack us?
Based on the information that our scouts relayed, although the Han army has set out to battle,
they really didn't proceed toward us. Instead, they're encircling the back mountains.
It's like they're looking for something. I don't understand.
General Meng, what do you think?
Leave first. Follow my orders.
Understood
Could it be...
Oh no. Could they have found out?
Let us go take a look.
- Madame Li - Madame Li
General Meng. Your Excellency Chamberlain
Madame Li. You came.
His Majesty is in trouble. I cannot abandon him and not care.
Your Excellency Li, did you look for Madame Li to come and help us?
General Meng, with the situation now, Madame Li is absolutely more helpful than all the king's men.
General Meng, do not be offended.
No no. How can I be offended?
Your Excellency Li. You certainly found the right person.
General Meng. There's no time to lose. Quickly tell me the king's missing situation and the detailed location.
We act immediately.
Yes
- Your Majesty - Li'er
Your Majesty
How are you? Are you injured?
I am fine.
Li'er
Is it really you?
Yes
Why are you here? Am I dreaming?
It would be better if you were really dreaming
instead of being injured in these deep woods. Why didn't you stay in the Qin palace?
Being able to see you,
even if I die,
is better than staying in the Qin palace.
Search carefully!
- Oh no. It is the Han troops. - You must find him!
- Let us go. Hurry. Can you walk? - Yes
- Some of you go over there! - Yes
Hurry!
Search carefully!
Over there!
Hurry!
Your Majesty, be careful. This is not the way to continue.
We must find a safe place so I can help you wrap up your wound first.
Can you walk?
Yes
- Here - Let us go.
Here
Go
Careful
- Let us hide here first. - Alright
Sit down
How is it?
Why is the wound so serious? How about here?
Why did the wound become like this? What should be done?
Why were you so careless, causing yourself to be like this?
Li'er
I thought you left.
I did leave.
But Li Zhong came to tell me you were missing so I...
You are really good.
Do you know that you have saved me twice today?
How is it twice?
One time was for saving me physically.
The other was for saving my heart.
Combined, that is twice.
I haven't seen you in a long time. I never thought you would become a smooth talker.
This is not the Qin palace.
I do not need to be so serious all day.
If I can make my own choice,
I want to be me, not a Qin king.
Tell me. Why did you insist on going on an expedition to Han State?
Do you not know that is extremely dangerous?
In the Qin palace,
I see your image all day.
It is very difficult to bear.
So I went out of the palace
to suppress the pain.
That is really reckless. You are the king of a state.
Yet, you disregarded your life like this.
Li'er, do you know
unifying China is the hope of the ancestors for generations?
If I can choose my life,
Li'er
I want to be with you.
But
I am destined to be lonely.
You can roam freely
while I
can only defend Xianyang city
and Great Qin State.
By the way, how did you find me?
Do you remember
the last time we went to Han State to meet Sir Han Fei?
You told me at that time if there's a day you battle Han and Wei,
you would surely cross Mount Xiong'er to Anshan region.
Then you will seize Nanyang.
General Meng told me you were separated in the Wu Guan region
so I guessed you might be hiding near this region.
Turns out you remembered everything I have said.
Li'er. Thank you.
I understand your nature.
If a person has a difficulty, you would absolutely help.
Believe me. Wait until we return to a safe place.
I will let you be carefree
just like I told you before.
Alright. Do not talk anymore. Let me see your wound.
Your wound is too deep. You have to bear it a bit.
Your Highness, I just got news
that Qin has already attacked Han.
Han?
With Ying Zheng's personality, he will never attack without a reason.
This time, what excuse did he use?
The king of Qin used the excuse that Han Fei betrayed him
and blamed it on the king of Han. He personally lead the Qin army to attack them.
There is such a thing. Is it not that the case of Lord Han Fei has already been investigated clearly?
Before Lord Han Fei died, he was loyal. No intentions to rebel against Qin at all.
How could Ying Zheng overturn the truth like that?
Your Highness, a person like the king of Qin can say today that Han Fei betrayed Qin and then attack Han.
Tomorrow, he can also say that Your Highness Crown Prince betrayed Qin and then attack Yan.
Moreover, Your Highness has now accepted
the traitor general of Qin, Fan Wuji.
For just that, he has all the reasons to trouble our Yan.
What Grand Adviser said was indeed very reasonable.
Grand Tutor also mentioned to me this hidden danger.
But if Grand Adviser will ask me to banish General Fan,
I really cannot do it.
This I understand.
Honestly, even if Your Highness banishes General Fan now,
Ying Zheng will still be able to come up with different excuses and reasons
to say that you have betrayed Qin.
Presently, if we want to make our state richer and our army stronger
within three months, it is really very difficult to do so.
But this is not really a completely blind alley.
Does Lord already have a plan?
Your HIghness Crown Prince,
we cannot just sit and wait to be killed. Assassinate the king of Qin
is the only way out for our Yan.

Wait first.
Here.
These Han soldiers are really stupid.
Looks like Your Majesty need not worry of losing this war.
Compared to the Qin army, the Han army are really so inferior.
But we still have to be very careful.
We must not belittle their strength.
If we let them find our weakness, we can't prevent another fierce battle from happening.
Your Majesty.
Yesterday, because your injuries were quite severe, that's why I didn't tell you.
General Meng is already worn out by your matter that he doesn't really have the mood to attack Nanyang anymore.
You're saying that the Qin army are still staying at their previous location?
Of course. If they don't, how would they be able to wait for your return?
What a good Meng Wu. He dared to not listen to my order?!
Once we return to Xianyang, see how I deal with him.
You're at it again. Once this stinky temper of you acts up, it's really uncontrollable.
Just because of your matter, General Meng hasn't slept for so many days.
On one hand, he was worried that this matter will leak out.
Privately, he had to send Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain to come looking for you.
On the other hand, he had to resist against the pressure from the Han and Wei armies.
With a good general like that, you still are going to punish him?
A military order is like the mountain.
I think that he shouldn't have delayed military matters just for me.
Just think what you want.
Why not this way?
I'll send out a messenger pigeon now and tell General Meng to attack Nanyang first.
This way, we can just go to Nanyang and wait for the Qin army there.
We can only do so.
Stupid tiger, you must promise me.
You must not punish General Meng and Li Zhong.
Why?
Because they are the people who really cares about you.
Only them will sacrifice themselves like this just for you.
If you want them to leave you, that's like cutting off both your arms. Understand?
I thought that you will not want to mind my matters anymore.
Just think what you want.
General! [Qin Army Camp, Han State]
General, there is a messenger pigeon.
Come, let me see.
Leave first.
It is from Madame Li!
She said that she has found His Majesty. She told us to attack Nanyang in full strength and just meet them there.
Really good. Now that we have confirmed that His Majesty is safe,
I will immediately order the soldiers to push towards Nanyang in full strength.
Okay, I will go prepare first.
Chamberlain, with the speed that our army is moving,
just traveling overnight and we will arrive at Nanyang by tomorrow morning.
I am just worried about the safety of His Majesty. We must conquer Nanyang as soon as possible.
What Chamberlain said is correct. With Madame Li around, she surely will protect His Majesty well.
- Hey, look, look. - This is quite good. Look at this one. - Selling cakes! [Nanyang, Han State]
- Delicious cakes! Delicious cakes. - This one! This is very good!
Selling cakes!
That cake looks quite good.
- Give me one. - Okay. It's very delicious.
Thank you. Let's go.
Sell...yo, lady, want some cake?
- It's very delicious. - Thank you, auntie.
That...we are actually just passing through here.
We want to ask if there are any inns nearby that we can stay for the night.
Where are you two from?
It is rare for foreigners to come here.
Oh, we are looking for our relatives.
My husband, Da Hu (Big Tiger), has a cousin at the south.
My cousin is in southern Chu. We were just passing by this place.
These past two years, there were a lot of wars. It is rare for people to travel.
You two are going to travel so far. It must be tiring and difficult.
Right. Good thing that although the gaze of my Da Hu looks very fierce,
he is actually very simple and honest. That is why, we did not really meet much bad people on our travel.
It is like this. Our Nanyang is just a small place.
There really are no inns.
How about this? I have a relative in my house that has moved out.
There is an empty house. If you two will not mind it, then...
- Sure. We do not mind it. - We do not mind it.
Auntie, just name your price.
You are being too courteous.
Seeing that you two are travelling and surely did not really have that much money with you.
If you two will not find it dirty, I will just clean these up and already take you there.
- Okay. - Then thank you.
How about I just help you clean up?
- No need. No need. Do not extend your arm anymore. - You have so many things.
- Let us just clean it up together. - I will be done in a while.
Give that to me. Let me do the cutting.
What you are doing is not cutting the vegetables. It is chopping them off (like chopping wood).
When did you learn to cook?
Come. Come. Put down the knife. Explain it to me.
Before you entered the palace, for whom were you cooking?
Before I entered the palace, I have been living with my grandfather. I only know how to cook since I was 10 years old.
I cooked for my grandfather and my senior brothers. You have a problem with that?
I do not have any problem.
How come when you entered the palace, you did not cook for me?
Is it not that it is forbidden for the royal harem to hold a knife? When then was it allowed for the royal concubines to cook?
Anyway, it is already too late to say about these.
You will not have a chance to cook for me anymore.
What do you mean?
Nothing. Is it not that you are already staying outside the palace now?
Li'er! What is wrong? Do you feel unwell?
Are you sick? Why did you not tell me?
Did Han Shen made you suffer hardships that is why you got sick?
This is not an illness. Stupid...
How is this not an illness?! You are already...
Are you already pregnant with my child?
I noticed it when I was in Yongxiang Prison.
Yongxiang?
Then why did you not tell me?
Why did you not tell me such an important matter?
Is there a use if I tell you? Will you be able to listen to my words?
In this world, you had the worst kind of temper.
Okay already.
All were my fault. I should not have gotten mad at you.
And even treated you like that.
What have I done?
How about this then? Hit me. Beat me up.
Stop it already.
You were not planning to deliver this child outside of the palace, right?
This depends on your performance these next few days.
Do not use a knife anymore! You are pregnant so stop moving around!
Go inside the house now and rest. Let me do it.
Why are you still standing here?
What is important for you now is not to induce a miscarriage, do you know that?
How come you are like an old man, nagging endlessly?
Stop nagging already and stop cutting. Come, just let me cut them.
If you are like this, when will I be able to eat?
You are going to starve me to death already. You should cut it like this.
Li'er, being able to be with you like this is really good.
♫ The fate that was created in the past lifetime has changed to accompaniment in this lifetime. ♫
♫ Time passes unhurried time, unable to let go. I can't bear to part or forget. This love has not ended. ♫
Li'er. Say...
You think our child is a prince or a princess?
Since I knew it here in Nanyang, [Nanyang literally means Southern Sun]
if it is a prince, let us call him Yang'er. [Yang - sun]
If it is a princess, let us call her Yue'er. [Yue - moon]
Is it not that you love to look at the moon? How about it?
Yang'er and Yue'er, are they not nice to hear?
Why are you thinking that far in the future? I still have not thought about it.
Then it means that you are not leaving me anymore?
You think that when I came here to Han this time, I did not plan to go back to Xianyang already?
What if there was no child?
Will you still leave me?
This...I need to think about it first.
Then think about it well. I will kiss you until you agree.
You only said a few nice words. Why are you going overboard?
How am I excessive? You are my wife.
If I do not kiss you, who will I kiss?
Move aside.
♫ Love and hate endlessly cycles. My heart is uneasy. ♫
Stop doing that already. Come. Come.
Just leave this kind of hard labor to me.
How is this hard labor? Say, you--
Li'er.
About the matter regarding Yan Dan, I was wrong.
You did something so meaningful for me
It was me who was too jealous.
I am jealous of Han Shen. I am jealous with all the men around you.
I promise you that
from now on, I will never treat you like that again.
Thank you that you are able to return to my side.
Look at how sweet you two are.
When will the food be cooked? Go now. I will do it instead.
- It is fine. It is fine, Auntie. Go back and rest first. - No, Auntie.
- Let me do it. - Auntie, - It is fine.
the food are already placed inside the soup.
- It is fine. I can cook. - It is better that I do it. - It is fine, auntie.
It is fine.
Auntie, taste it.
It looks good.
How is the culinary skills of my Da Hu?
- Delicious. - Let me taste it too.
Really delicious.
Auntie, are you living here alone?
Yes. To tell you the truth,
my husband, son, and daughter-in-law
all got killed by Qin soldiers.
Only an old woman like me was left.
That time, my daughter-in-law was already pregnant.
Yet she just got killed by those Qin soldiers like that.
My pitiful grandchild, I was not even able to see him.
Auntie, the Qin army does not really kill innocent women and children.
You two really do not know how brutal and ruthless the Qin army is.
They do not want us to have any descendants!
If that king of Qin sees that each inch of land
has no plants growing on them (has no life on them), will he already be satisfied?
Auntie, the intention of the king of Qin is actually
to unite the world and let wars end as soon as possible.
Unite the world? How many people must then die?!
I was living in utter misery all this time.
Just dragging out my feeble existence that's why I am still alive now.
If the king of Qin will stand in front of me,
I surely will personally kill this demon!
Look...at me. Why were I saying those things?
Come. You two quickly eat. Quickly eat.
Kids, I can see that you two are good kids.
It is not that I do not want you to stay here.
Tomorrow morning, quickly pack your things and leave.
Do not know when this king of Qin will attack here.
Saving your lives is what is important, okay?
I am tired already. I will go rest first.
Oh, right, you two must listen to me. You must leave.

Reporting to General, just ten miles forward is Nanyang City already.
General Meng, give the order.
My Qin brothers, listen to my order!
Yes!
Attack Nanyang!
Yes!
What do you want to do? There is no one else. It's just me.
Aunt, what happened?
- Child, why did you not listen to me? Hurry back inside! - This girl looks pretty good.
Let go of Aunt! Aunt!
Stop! Stop!
Who are you?
I'm telling you to put down your sword or you'll regret it.
Your have big guts. Let us see how I deal with you today.
Stop! Let him go!
Greetings Your Majesty
I did not recognize Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please forgive me.
What are both of you doing? Do you want to die?!
Meng Wu
I am here.
Your subordinate is taking advantage of the chaos and looting.
How should the crime be dealt with?
Your Majesty. I did not train them to be upright. It is a death sentence.
Men! Drag these two out. Behead them!
Yes
Your Majesty, spare our lives. Spare us! Spare us!
Spare us, Your Majesty! Spare us!
Aunt
You are not Da Hu.
You are the Qin king!
Aunt, I'm sorry. We didn’t intentionally want to deceive you.
Aunt, thank you for offering us shelter yesterday.
Tell me, what do you want? I can give it to you.
What do I want? What do I want?
I want your life!
Your Majesty, be careful!
What are you doing?!
Your Majesty, she wanted to kill you. I was protecting you.
Aunt, Aunt, Aunt!
Did I let you touch her?
- Aunt! - Why did you kill her?
Why?!
Aunt
Get lost. Get lost!
Aunt
Aunt, hang in there.
Hurry. Hurry, find a doctor. Hurry, find a doctor!
Aunt, hang in there. You must hang in there.
You are a good lady.
Why are you with this tyrant?
Aunt
Leave him.
Aunt!
Aunt
Li'er. Do not worry.
I will give this aunt a nice burial.
She offered us shelter when we had no one to rely on.
She was our benefactor.
She did not know you are the Qin king.
Yet, she was unconditionally good towards you.
But now, she already is separated from us by death.
In this world, there are so many people
who only want to live a stable and peaceful life.
They want their own home and land
so they can cultivate a rice field.
She was still chatting with us yesterday.
Now, she is lying in my arms.
Does your so-called great cause for unification involve this kind of massacre?
Li'er
Did you not say you understood my dream of unifying China?
Don't you also want the war to end soon so China can be peaceful?
Yes. I want these disputes to end sooner
but I did not know you would use these methods of massacre!
Ying Zheng
I do not want my child to live in chaotic times like this.
Li'er,
do not worry.
I will let all of these end soon.
I will not let Tianming and our child
also get involved in these wars.
But only by really uniting the world, obtaining real peace,
will days without wars arrive.
Do not worry.
I will tell all the Qin army that in the succeeding battles,
it will only be a fight between soldiers.
The innocent citizens will not be harmed anymore.
Can you believe me?
I will definitely give her a grand burial.
Auntie...
Southern Gates
Flat cake seller, you should be giving me my money now.
This sir, can you give me some more time?
Right now, I do not have any money.
How about just one day? Once I gather enough, I will give them to you tomorrow.
Yesterday, you already said that you will pay tomorrow.
The day before, you also said that you will pay tomorrow. If I still accommodate your request,
your great grandchild might have been born already and you still have not paid me.
Is that proper?
Sir, it is not that I do not want to pay you.
It is just that the harvest this year is very bad.
Everyone has no money.
Look at these cakes of mine. No one is buying them.
How about like this? I...
I will pay with these cakes instead. Is that okay?
Using cakes to pay? Are you looking down on me?
- No... - Let me tell you. I want money!
Even if you give me ten thousands of these stinky cakes of yours, I also will not eat them!
Mother.
You are not allowed to bully my mother!
Not allowed? What right do you have to not allow me?
I just have to hit your mother. What can you do then?
- Be good. Do not. - You dare!
I...I will not dare? Let me show you if I will dare or not!
Kid, I will let you taste my greatness.
- Who is it that is meddling with other people's business? - He indees should be hit.
Your grandfather, me. [Wei Zhuang, a swordsman]
You!
How come the sword technique of this person is very familiar?
You scoundrel...brothers, attack!
Let us go.
Brothers...
- Let us go. - You deserved it!
Let us go.
So this is the Jing Ke's Manor. [House of Jing Ke, Ji City]
- I heard that Warrior Jing is really great. - That's right.
- Really not bad. - Right. Right.
So many people.
Brother Jing, were you the one who invited all these people?
No.
- Please. Please. - Hey, Brother Qin is here.
Brother Qin. Brother Qin.
Brother Zhang, long time no see.
- Long time no see. - Brother Qin.
Let me lead you all to meet him.
Okay. Okay.
This one is the famous Young Warrior Jing Ke.
So this one is Young Warrior Jing. I have heard of your great name for quite a long time.
I heard that your sword skills are so great.
Do not know when I will be able to see such elegant thing.
Eldest Senior!
Eldest Senior, I fear that our parting today
will be the last time we will see each other.
If one day,
he is unable to protect you anymore
or he hurt you,
remember. With me,
there will always be a place for you.
When my eldest senior came back from Zhao,
he brought with him a letter personally written by Marquis of Chang'an.
Marquis of Chang'an told His Majesty that the spy of Zhao Jia in Qin
is you.
That soup...
who delivered it here?
Guards, listen.
We are here.
I am having this matter investigate immediately.
Who really sent that soup and caused my wife to have a miscarriage.
Give me back my child! You killed my child, you murderer!
There is nothing regrettable if I die.
I ended up to this state now all because of you.
Your Majesty, how then can you be sure that the child in her womb is yours?!
What did you say, Madame Min?
Do you know what you are saying?!
I am definitely not a person that will do anything against my conscience!
Consort Li, can you dare to make an oath then?
Can you dare to make an oath that Tianming is the son of His Majesty?
