The King's Woman
Episode 38
[Jing Manor] [House of Jing Ke, Ji City]
So this is the manor of Jing Ke.
I heard that this Warrior Jing is really good.
That's right.
- Really not bad. - Right. Right.
So many people.
This is the noble warrior, Really looks extraordinary.
Brother Jing, did you invite all of these people?
No.
- Please. Please. - Brother Qin is here. - That's right.
Brother Qin. Brother Qin.
- Brother Zhang, long time no see. - Brother Qin...
Long time no see, Brother Qin.
Let me introduce you all.
Come. Come. Okay.
This one is the famous Young Warrior Jing Ke.
So this is Young Warrior Jing. I have heard of your great name for so long.
I heard that your sword skills is really superb.
Do not know when I will be able to see such elegance.
This matter is not something that you can see just because you want to.
Is it not, Young Warrior Jing?
- Young Warrior Jing! - It is really better to see you in person.
Young Warrior Jing! Young Warrior Jing!
Young Warrior Jing, these are all expensive gifts sent by the Crown Prince.
There are food and items for display.
Say, where should we put these two stone sculptures?
Just randomly look for a place to put them.
Okay. Everyone, be careful. Put it at the back courtyard.
See that? See that?
Your Highness Crown Prince indeed is courteously treating Young Warrior Jing
Of course, the martial arts skills of Young Warrior Jing is ever triumphant.
Come over here.
Why did you bring so many people out of nowhere to the house of Brother Jing?
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.
This you do not understand anymore.
I am helping Warrior Jing get some fame, attract some friends.
Or else, His Highness Crown Prince would have forgotten about him.
Brother Jing do is indifferent to fame and wealth. He does not care about these.
These are all just the thoughts of you ladies. There is no swordsman who does not care about fame or wealth.
Or else, tell me. Why do you think Jing Ke learned that Huluo Sword Technique that kills people without any trace?
- I heard that your sword technique is so great. - I...
When would I be able to see it?
Everyone! This house was also prepared by His Highness Crown Prince for Young Warrior Jing.
How about I take everyone to tour around?
Sure. Sure. Good.
- Let us go then. - Let us go...
Please. Please.
Qin Wuyang!
This way please. This way please.
Such a good house. This atmosphere...
This way please.
Come. Come. Here. Here. Slowly.
Please. Please. That is right.
Tomb of Han Fei
Lord Han Fei, I am creating this tomb for you in your mother state.
Although I am not worthy to be your king,
once my Qin has united the world,
I surely will prove to the world your outstanding skills.
Tomb of Han Fei
Hurry and come over here... [Su City Stage, Yan State]
Wait for me!
Hurry up!
Wait for me!
I heard that His Highness Crown Prince recently has been heavily paying to recruit warriors from all over the world.
As long as they come to Yan State, he will treat them very courteously.
Miss Lan'er, since you are very intelligent,
why do you think he is doing this?
All virtuous kings in this world thirst for talented people.
It was not easy for His Highness Crown Prince to finally get rid of the control of Qin and return to his mother state.
Wanting to prepare his own power is just very normal.
I do not think the same.
It was indeed because that Crown Prince just escaped from Qin,
should he not act in a more low key way so as not to atract the attention of the king of Qin?
Moreover, Ying Zheng is a brutal and heartless person.
He can turn hostile against you in an instant.
It is hard to say but he might have already sent someone here in Yan and just looking for a chance to take revenge.
- Lord Tian Guang. - Lord Tian Guang.
Your Highness.
With such a loud event, His Highness Crown Prince insisted that I invite you all.
I even feared that you will not come.
His Highness Crown Prince invited us with such hospitality. Of course, we will come.
That is right. I am also curious to see what kind of warrior has come.
Miss Lan'er, what do you think?
This person is very famous in Wei State.
The Crown Prince Manor even sent out a golden bell horse carriage to fetch him.
I am guessing that he should be here soon.
May I ask what his great name is?
Wu Xiang.
Move aside. Move aside.
Such grand entrance.
Look at this person. Just one look and you will know that he is a great warrior.
He must be some famous person.
Please.
This is His Highness Crown Prince.
Wu Xiang sent someone to deliver a letter nominating himself to be a death warrior for His HIghness Crown Prince.
He is willing to serve the Yan State.
Just to prove that his sword skills are outstanding,
he was willing to accept a public duel.
Since His Majesty Crown Prince has already safely returned to Yan,
why then must he recruit death warriors?
This Wu Xiang does not look like that great too.
If you ask me, it is still the Huluo Sword Technique of Young Warrior Jing that is better.
Lan'er.
Thank you.
Of course, it is my Brother Jing that is the best. Right, Brother Jing?
Informing Your Majesty, Fan Wuji lost in battle and deserted the military first.
But then he did such rebellious act of publicly being amicable with Yan.
He is clearly openly going against our Qin.
If our Qin will not do anything about it,
then will that not let the people in the world disregard the might of our Qin?
Your Majesty, I think what Tingwei Official said is very correct.
This Fan Wuji knows a lot about the military strategy and tactics of our army.
Crown Prince Dan of Yan has also been a hostage prince for so many years.
These two might have been colluding early on.
With things being like that, I fear that it might threaten our government, Your Majesty.
Meng Wu, I called for you to court today because one, you know Fan Wuji better.
Second, you can represent the generals of our army.
Tell me, how should we deal with Fan Wuji seeking refuge in Yan?
Replying to Your Majesty, actually, I already had a discussion with General Wang Jian regarding the betrayal of Fan Wuji.
Although I and Fan Wuji are comrades, had previously went through life and death together, fought together side by side,
I also do understand that
Fan Wuji knows about the military tactics of army very deeply.
If we do not eliminate this person and just let things go no like this, this person will surely become a menace.
To preserve the peace and prosperity of our Qin government,
hope Your Majesty can give the order to allow us to deploy the army and attack Yan. Get justice for our Qin.
I second the motion.
Since Crown Prince Dan of Yan has been this ungrateful to Your Majesty,
then Qin also should not leave him any affection.
With this matter now, even if we attack Yan, the other six states will not criticize us.
Very good.
Looks like all of you are very loyal to my Qin.
Actually, during the return of Yan Dan to Yan,
I have already arranged for a martial arts master.
All movements of Crown Prince Dan of Yan
and all of his interactions with Fan Wuji are all under my watchful eyes.
Conquering Yan is a matter that we will be doing sooner or later.
But the path to Yan is very far.
Since Han already given us Nanyang,
then during this time that it is already very weak, just completely annihilate it.
- Your Majesty is wise. - Your Majesty is wise.
During the attack against the king of Han, based on military rules,
kill anyone who will resist.
Yes, I will abide.
Court dismissed.
- Li Zhong - I am here.
Pass my order. The royal court discussions today must not be passed on to the harem.
The violator will be sentenced to death.
Your Majesty, may I be bold
Your Majesty, are you taking precautions with the harem
because of Madame Li?
I want to unify China.
It will be bloody and horrible.
As for Madame Li, she doesn’t need to know much.
She only needs to be by my side and receives the peace at the end.
Yes. I understand.
[Manor of Crown Prince Dan, Ji City]
Please
His Highness Crown Prince greatly admired you during the martial arts competition today.
A residence will be arranged for you to live in the city later.
If you need anything at that time, tell us.
I will assign a person to handle it.
Thank you for your troubles, Grand Tutor.
Good. I will take my leave.
Royal Mother, Royal Father
Tianming
Where have you been? I waited for quite a while.
I went to fight a battle and almost died.
Your Royal Mother saved me. Isn’t she awesome?
Really? Royal Mother is that awesome?
Eldest Senior
Junior Sister. I am relieved you are safe and sound.
Thank you Eldest Senior for taking care of Tianming these past few days.
Tianming is a very smart and good boy.
For the past few days, I even taught him a few moves.
Is that right, Tianming?
Yes. Royal Mother, look.
That is good. Good.
Since your family is reunited, I should leave.
Uncle Han, where are you going?
Uncle Han, did you not say you would take me fishing?
Did you not say you would teach me more moves?
Tianming, be good. I still have other things to do.
You are not coming back?
I am sorry. I will not come back.
Junior Sister. I am leaving.
Go send him off.
Okay.
Eldest Senior
I am afraid this is the last time
we will see each other.
I must say some things to you.
All these years,
thank you very much.
If you weren’t by my side,
I might not have lived to now.
But I cannot selfishly keep you by my side
♫ Love and hate ♫
because the carefree life outside the palace is more appropriate for you.
♫ Regardless of the flashes and shadows of swords, ♫
Junior Sister. I once thought,
♫ Sorrow and happiness♫
wherever you go, even if it’s to a mountain of blades or a cave of tigers, I would also go there.
♫ Changing clouds and rain extinguished the splendor. ♫
But now, you and Ying Zheng love each other.
♫ A bustling banquet will eventually end. ♫
So
I don’t need to be here.
♫ Hundreds of flowers wither, empty laments. ♫
♫ Flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake are totally imaginary. ♫
What I owe you,
I will repay in the next life.
You do not need to repay anything.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s already enough to be your senior in this life.
But Li’er, if one day, he cannot protect you
or hurts you.
Remember
there will always be a vacant place for you at my place.
♫ I only feel that the northern winds are cold. ♫
♫ The past is like dirt,♫
I know I cannot enter your heart.
Painfully loving someone,
it’s fine even if the love isn’t reciprocated.
It’s enough as long as you can stay by that person’s side.
I love her.
To me, nothing is more important than her in this world.
♫ Regardless of the flashes and shadows of swords,♫
If you dare to touch her again, I will immediately take your life!
I will not let Li’er continue to stay in this beast-like cage.
I will take her away.
As long as I am alive, I absolutely will not allow anyone to bully Li’er.
♫ Changing clouds and rain extinguished the splendor. ♫
♫ Hundreds of flowers wither, multi-colored tears. ♫
♫ A bustling banquet will eventually end. ♫
♫ Loneliness is painful, youth is short, life is hard. ♫
♫ Hundreds of flowers wither, empty laments. ♫
♫ Flowers in a mirror and the moon reflected in the lake are totally imaginary. ♫
♫ The wonderful lands of the nation have no room for love. ♫
♫ Hundreds of flowers wither.♫
Eldest Senior. Thank you.
Thank you for everything you have done for me.
♫ Loneliness is painful, youth is short, life is hard. ♫
Warrior Jing. General Fan
His Highness Crown Prince. Lord Tian Guang. What happened?
Last night, Grand Tutor sent Warrior Wu Xiang back to his room.
I didn’t expect he would be assassinated during the night.
The assassin dared to commit a violent crime in my East Palace.
He clearly is trying to show me his might.
Was the assassin sent by Qin State?
It’s hard to say. His Highness Crown Prince secretly escaped Qin this time.
It’s a fact the Qin king was offended.
The Qin king dared to send people to harm His Highness Crown Prince.
I then will give all my strength to fight him!
If Ying Zheng really wanted to kill me, I think it’s unlikely I would live until now.
Your Highness Crown Prince meaning is…
Assassinating a warrior within my manor but not touching me at all,
the meaning is very clear.
He wants all the citizens to stay far away from me.
If someone wants to serve me, it’s a pathway to death.
Your Highness Crown Prince is saying
the news of the death of Lord Wu Xiang might have already been released outside.
All the citizens know now. Anyone who sides with Yan
will be opposing Qin State.
That sinister Ying Zheng
Since that is the case, then forgive me for giving a suggestion.
Your Highness Crown Prince, you do not need to recruit any warrior from outside anymore.
I am willing to assassinate the king of Qin for you.
Assassinate the king of Qin?
Your Highness Crown Prince, could this be the real reason you were recruiting death warriors.
Since I already escorted Your Highness Crown Prince back here to Yan, I have already become the bitter enemy of the king of Qin.
There is no other person more suited than me in doing the assassination of the king of Qin.
Madam, who would have thought, His Majesty will bring Madam Li back.
I heard that when His Majesty was in danger in Han last time, it was actually Madame Li who saved him.
Now, the position Madam Li holds in His Majesty's heart
is already so unlike how it was before.
Even... even the ministers in court are too afraid to say anything.
Then...what if...
Madam Li holds it against us, what we did before.
We would we do?
It hasn't even come to this and you're panicking already.
And also...about me stealing her dagger...
Say, would Madam Li blame me?
Madam Li has arrived.
Speaking of her, she's here.
Step back.
Yes.
Madam should know why I've come to visit you today.
Did His Majesty asked you to come to take my life?
His Majesty is not a cold blooded and heartless as you think.
Moreover, His Majesty previously sees you as his confidante.
What Madame Min had done are not yet enough to grant you death.
Framing a royal concubine, tried to rebel against Qin,
Just be frank, what crime are you going to pin on me?
It is all you who has the final say.
But Qin is known for very strict laws.
If I am not punished for my crimes, if this matter gets out,
how will His Majesty still act in the future?
His Majesty has long known that you and Zhao King Qian were lovers.
His Majesty had never understood,
why were you willing to marry into the Qin State?
He finally understands now.
Just to take revenge on the unfaithfulness Zhao Qian,
you then changed to helping Zhao Jia. That is something that cannot be criticized.
The royal throne belonged to Zhao Jia in the first place.
It was just the king of Zhao was bewitched by Consort Chang,
hence, he removed Crown Prince Jia from his position and gave it to Qian.
Zhao Qian is a person who is short-sighted and very eager for achievements.
With the Zhao State having him as a king, their country will also perish sooner or later.
Why then must His Majesty take the trouble to still kill you?
At least before our state dies, let Zhao Jia give it a try.
Consort Li, I am begging you. Tell His Majesty to let Zhao Jia ascend to the throne.
If he can become the king, the people of Zhao
will all be grateful to Qin.
I also had the same thoughts before.
I also thought that the politics of the six states should have its own mechanism of operations.
How could the strong Qin use the reason of uniting the world to seize the different states by force?
I also do not wish for wars to keep happening. I also do not wish for more casualties.
But for the kings now, who really think for the benefit of the citizens?
No. Zhao Jia is different.
He is a strategist that is far-sighted.
He surely will be able to change the state of Zhao.
If Zhao Jia was not born in these chaotic times,
- I believe that he also has a chance of becoming a king. - No...
But he instigated the Marquis of Chang'an to revolt.
He let the brothers, His Majesty and Marquis of Chang'an, become bitter enemies and never seeing each other again.
How do you think will His Majesty be able to forgive Zhao Jia?
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.
Sister, go back to Handan.
This is the last grace that His Majesty is giving you.
No...
My days have not arrived yet.
I will not go back...I will not go back!
My days have not arrived.
His Majesty will never believe any words from you from now on.
Why then must you insist on staying here at Qin and waste your youth like this?
Madame! Madame...
Madame Min, just think about it.
Qing'er, let us go back to our palace.

How did you know that we are planning to assassinate the king of Qin?
Since our group arrived Ji City,
when His Highness Crown Prince decided to accept General Fan, I have already guessed it.
Ying Zheng wants the life of General Fan.
His Highness Crown Prince clearly was going against the orders of Ying Zheng to capture and kill him.
Is it not just to let the whole Yan be enemies with Qin?
Just to correct what the world has heard, Qin will attack Yan sooner or later.
Even if Yan gathers strength around the whole state, it will not even reach 200,000.
How could then they be able to resist the millions of elite soldiers of Qin?
Other than surrendering, what Yan can only do is to assassinate the king of Qin.
Young Warrior Jing, please forgive me. The person that I have considered first
was you.
Forgive me for being frank. Because of your relations with Lady Gongsun,
I do not wish that you involve personal feelings in doing this matter.
The tyrannical Qin is planning to monopolize the world. Of course, everyone cannot accept it.
Since I already learned the martial arts skills that my master has passed down to me
then how can I just keep out of the affairs of the world?
The matter about assassinating the king of Qin have been troubling me for several days.
As for my junior sister, she is currently the royal consort of the king of Qin.
Whether it is good or bad, it was her own choice.
I have long accepted that truth.
In this decision that I made this time, I did not involve any personal feelings.
May Lord not worry.
Since I already have decided to mention this matter right in front of His Highness Crown Prince,
I then have already made a firm decision.
This is my own choice. It has nothing to do with anyone else.
Since that is the case, I will immediately inform His Highness Crown Prince.
Assassinating the king of Qin is a huge matter.
We must first come up with a very meticulous and thorough plan.
If I am able to eliminate an evil person for the world, then I would not have disappointed the hopes of my master on me.
Jing Ke,
I am going to thank you right now
for this affection that you have for our Yan.
Lord.
Madame, Madame Min and Xiao Li caused us to be so miserable before.
Yet, you forgave them. You are too kind.
In any case, our lives are good now. Why should we think of those unpleasant matters?
Besides, Madame Min is receiving proper punishment now.
I believe she is not happy these days.
The most important thing now is to take care of my health well.
Madame is right.
The baby suffered with us in Yongxiang Prison.
Fortunately, the baby is very blessed with a very good fate.
Whether the baby is a good-looking prince like Prince Tianming
or a pretty and witty princess like Madame,
I believe His Majesty will protect the baby well.
My child, I hope you will be born safely and grow up well.
Greetings Madame
What is the matter?
The Mansion Royal Doctor sent this nourishing soup. He said it is to supplement Madame’s health.
The Mansion Royal Doctor? How do they know our Madame is pregnant?
His Majesty ordered the Mansion Royal Doctor to make the preparations.
- You are dismissed. - Yes. I will take my leave.
Madame
Madame, drink it while it is warm.
Wait a moment
Go
Li'er
Your Majesty
How is Madame Li?
Informing Your Majesty, Madame Li’s fetus could not be saved.
I am untalented. Your Majesty, please punish me.
What did you say? How did this happened?
It is my fault. I was careless.
Your Majesty. It is not Madame’s fault.
During the late afternoon today, a maid servant came from the Royal Physician Bureau and delivered a medicinal soup.
She said that she was instructed by Your Majesty. I then let Madame drink it.
Who would have known soon after, Madame had an unbearable stomach pain.
I saw the situation was not good. So I rushed to find a royal doctor.
I realized it was too late.
This regretful matter happened due to my negligence.
Your Majesty, please punish me.
Wait
Your Majesty, forgive my negligence.
I just learned about Madame's pregnancy.
We never prescribed any supplements for Madame Li.
You are dismissed.
Yes. I will take my leave.
Madame did not want to publicize it. I complied with her wishes.
I did not expect
to put her in a risky situation.
I was too careless.
Who brought that bowl of soup?
Guards, listen
We are here.
I want to immediately investigate this matter thoroughly. Who delivered the unidentified soup
to make Madame miscarry?
Go get the Chamberlain. Tell him I want to seal off the imperial palace for this investigation.
Yes
Your Majesty. Your Majesty
Li'er. Do not worry.
I will not let you suffered for nothing.
Your Majesty
Madame
Madame. Madame, lie down.
I know who wants to harm me.
Who? Who wants to harm you?
A person who knows that I am pregnant.
Madame...
Since His Majesty already decided to help you investigate this matter,
your health is more important right now.
I beg you to rest first.
Madame!
Madame Li.
- Our Madame is still in her room-- - Get lost!
Give me back my child.
You killed my child, you murderer!
Do it then. Just kill me if you want to.
My death is not to be regretted.
I ending up at this present state was all due to you.
Madame Min, you ending up at your present state was because you brought trouble upon yourself.
No one wanted to harm you.
I am unable to help the Zhao state
and also unable to drag Zhao Qian down from his throne.
All of those are due to you!
You still even think that you are helping the fulfillment a grand ambition.
Helping Ying Zheng to unite the world?
You do not really know what kind of person Ying Zheng is.
You have been fooled by him.
You have totally been fooled by him!
Shut up!
Tell me. Were you the one who did it?
Yes...I was the one who did it.
Do you know that killing a royal descendant
is punishable by hanging with a cloth based on my Qin rules
and the death of three generations of your clan?
I know.
Since you already know, you still was obstinately persistent in doing it. Is it because you are excessively bold
or you are looking down on me?
Both not. I did it for the future of Qin!
Even if I have to risk dying, I still have to kill her child!
Before Consort Li got pregnant, she was out of the palace for several days. Your Majesty also know that!
She and her senior spent that night in the wilderness together.
Your Majesty, how can you then be sure that the child in her womb is yours?!
What did you say, Madame Min?
Do you know what you are saying?
This was definitely my child with His Majesty.
I am definitely not that easy woman that you are saying.
You can say it but there is no hard evidence. Look.
Heaven and earth as my witness, the sun and moon can vouch for it,
I am never a person that will do things against my conscience!
Consort Li, can you dare make an oath then?
Can you dare swear that Tianming is the son of His Majesty?!
You know that I can kill you anytime.
I want you to personally see me annihilating your Zhao state.
This is the greatest punishment for you.
Madame Li is definitely not an easy woman.
If she really had a rekindling of romance with his senior brother,
how then can she be so happy to share with me that she was pregnant?
It is just that whenever I recall that she stayed for one night with that man with just the two of them together,
I really am unable to endure this anger.
Li'er.
Are we really on our way to Handan?
Of course.
So great.
I really miss the state of Zhao.
I have always wanted to go back and visit it.
Never thought that Zheng'er will really be willing to let me go back.
I will be attacking Zhao in a few days. Mindai,
come with me too.
This is a royal order.
You are not allowed to disobey it.
Make yourself pretty.
I believe that King Zhao Qian surely is looking forward to see you.
Madame Min,
we used to be the closest friends.
But your ignorance caused you to gain nothing.
You are on your own.
