The King's Woman
Episode 41
Where is he...?
Madame.
Li Zhong, is His Majesty with you?
Earlier, His Majesty was fighting with us against the royal guards of Zhao Jian. We continuously charged up to the center of the city.
But do not know why, His Majesty just suddenly disappeared.
I initially thought that there was a troop of Huben Army following His Majesty.
Who would have known that they would also get separated.
Lü Buwei used Queen Dowager to fool His Majesty.
His Majesty surely suffered a great blow.
I fear that he might do something bad if he is not controlled.
You also know how dangerous the current king is.
Of course, I know. It is also because I am worried about His Majesty that is why I came here to tell you about this.
Queen Dowager will not last long anymore.
She wants to see His Majesty.
How about this? The sky will be dark soon. Go out and search first.
One Queen Dowager is more stable, I will also help in the search.
We can only do so. I will take my leave.
[Ji City, Yan State]
Young Warrior Jing, are you really decided to do this matter?
Subject Jing, I owe you a huge debt of kindness. If you say no,
this matter will immediately be canceled.
I will never mention it again.
Your Highness Crown Prince, do not worry. I was the one who mentioned this matter
so why will I go back on my words?
The assassination of the king of Qin is not an easy matter.
Although your martial arts is remarkable, entering a deep and important place
like the Qin palace, there surely are a lot of martial arts masters in there. After assassinating the king of Qin,
those palace guards will surely not let you off.
Lord, do not worry.
I trained in martial arts for the sake of the world.
If I am really able to get rid of a tyrannical king like the king of Qin,
even if I die, there are no regrets.
I know that lord is worried that I will include personal feelings within this matter.
I feel that only by doing this matter
can I really have a closure on my past life.
I finally understood the determination and willpower of Young Warrior Jing.
Actually, there really is no difference if you are going to do this for personal or public reasons.
As long as it is a matter that will bring good blessings to the citizens of this world,
regardless of the initial motive, it will still be a grand achievement.
Why then dwell too much on having the intention to or not?
Your Highness said it right.
Young Warrior Jing, you are determined to die just for my Yan, for the world.
I am really moved. Please receive my bow.
Your Highness Crown Prince, you must not! I am just a lowly citizen.
Young Noble Warrior is going to make such a sacrifice for the state of Yan and for the world.
You must receive this bow no matter what.
I then remember with gratitude that Your Highness Crown Prince
worries about what other people worrying and aim to eliminate Qin for the people.
Please also accept my bow.
Young Warrior Jing, please sit down.
The security of the palace of Qin is very tight.
The planning for this is way harder
than the last time we entered the Crown Prince Manor
to save His Highness Crown Prince.
That is true indeed. Other than the Black Army of Qin guarding the royal palace, there is also the elite Huben Army that attend to them.
If we want to get near the king of Qin, it would be harder than climbing up the sky.
That is why, I plan to openly visit the king of Qin.
Openly visit?
How is that possible?
[Streets of Handan]
How was it?
None.
How was it?
Madame, none.
How was it?
Madame, we have already searched every place nearby. We did not find His Majesty.
Where did His Majesty really go?
He has not eaten the whole day and has no personal guard.
Where could he have gone to?
Madame, talking about this Handan City, only the southern part of the city is a place that we have not searched.
But the houses there are mostly dilapidated and old.
Will His Majesty go there?
Southern part of the city?
Yes.
I remember that His Majesty told me before that he grew up in the southern part of the city.
Could he have gone there?
Let us go to the southern side and take a look.
Hurry and keep up.
We have already searched the whole southern section of the city.
Madame, this...it seems that there is no one alive here anymore.
Better to be careful than miss out on things.
Take your men and check each houses in front.
I will take a look at this side.
Yes. Come with me.
- The rest, come with me. - Yes.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, where have you gone to this whole day?
Li Zhong and I have been looking everywhere for you.
What have you done?
You are hurt, do you know that?
Your whole body is covered in blood, do you know that?
I...killed a lot of people.
Maybe what you said was right.
I cannot controlled myself.
I am a man killing wild demon.
While in Zhao before,
you should have not saved me!
What did you say?
What Zhao state?
That night when you and your senior brother
went to see the moon,
the person that you two saved
was me.
♫ The night is slightly cold, the moon is indistinct. ♫
♫ I raise my glass to the war casualties. ♫
Exert more effort!
Hurry and pull me up!
Exert more effort!
How could that be?
How could it be you?
Everyone in Handan bullies me.
Everyone ridicules me for having no father.
Ridiculing my mother for coming from a lowly background.
Mom said that someone wants my life.
Do not kill me!
I also do not understand why.
I can only keep escaping. Keep running away. Keep running.
Keep running away. Keep escaping.
♫ Who is looking forward to who goes back to whose side? ♫
♫ It is unable to be cut off. The more you try to reason it, the more confusing it gets. ♫
♫ The thing that you can't wave off is the parting sorrow that is rotating around your finger tip. ♫
♫ Love and hate endlessly cycles. My heart is uneasy. ♫
Keep escaping.
♫ The fate that was created in the past lifetime ♫
Are you okay?
Are you alright, Miss Sun?
♫ Time passes unhurried time, unable to let go. I can't bear to part or forget. This love has not ended. ♫
I want to ask if you are...
Is Sun your real surname?
No.
My name is Gongsun Li.
So he already recognized me that time.
I am a man killing wild demon.
I can even kill my own father.
♫ Recalling the past ♫
What else can I not do?
♫ Only an empty scene. ♫
♫ Several golden millet ♫
I am full of sins.
Hurry and leave me.

[Manor of the Crown Prince, Ji City]
Where should we start in this plan to assassinate the king of Qin?
It is necessary to have effective tools to do good work.
Young Warrior Jing, although your Yuchang dagger
is already a rare and exquisite weapon,
your Huluo Sword Technique
is actually a paired blade technique. Am I right?
I never told anyone about this.
How did Lord guess it?
I have been in jianghu for so many years.
Although I am not really some master in terms of martial arts,
I did have seen the martial arts of numerous different sects.
I more or less can have an inkling already just by looking.
I am guessing that by just holding a dagger,
you can only manifest 60 to 70% of the real might of the Huluo Sword Technique.
Am I right?
Lord, indeed is a rare talent in Wulin. Your sight is so shockingly good. I am impressed.
Just by showing 60 to 70% of your might, Subject Jing already was that awesome.
If we are able to find another dagger that can pair up with the Yuchang dagger,
our chance of winning will be higher.
Although that is the case, we cannot be too careless.
Although the Huluo Sword Technique is invincible,
But the great martial artists in the Qin palace is not only hundreds or thousands.
That is why, we must prepare for this perfectly.
What Lord Tian Guang said is so right.
[Wine Pub, Handan]
Uncle... No...
I was wrong. I know I was wrong.
Madame. The royal physician has already sent people to go outside the city
and try to find some medicinal herbs that can be used to treat His Majesty.
But after a days of massacre here in the city,
I fear that there are already a few things left in the city that can be used.
Moreover, our rations are dwindling.
With the present situation of His Majesty,
I fear that we must consider leaving Zhao earlier.
Greetings, Madame Li.
General Meng, what is the present situation with the king of Zhao?
King Zhao Qian indeed has escaped.
The ministers and servants have also looted the palace.
All of them are already in disarray and cannot mind other things anymore.
It is just that the whereabouts of that Zhao Jia is still unknown until now.
Before, he and Lü Buwei have been colluding for so many years.
Never thought that he situation now will turn out like this.
His Majesty this time personally attacked Zhao.
I fear that Zhao Jia is already bearing hatred against His Majesty.
The longer we stay here in Handan, the greater the danger is to His Majesty.
That is indeed true.
But in this expedition by His Majesty, his original plan was to continue pressing north.
Now that General Li Mu is dead.
This for our Qin is a rare good opportunity.
If we miss out on this chance,
I think that even if His Majesty wakes up, he will never forgive me.
I still am going to follow the original plan of His Majesty
and move north to pressure Yan. I am going to meet up with General Wang Jian.
Chamberlain, can you and Madame Li escort His Majesty back to Qin?
General Meng, I need to discuss this matter with Madame Li again.
Okay. I will then leave first.
Madame, did you get frightened because of the city massacre today?
Honestly, I have been guarding Puyang and the adjacent states since I was little
but I never saw such brutal and bloody scene.
But listening to him say that these were all due to the scars of his childhood
that is why a heartless him now was created,
I actually...
I actually felt at a loss.
I understand. Madame Li has always loved the country and its citizens. Your heart is full of benevolence.
But His Majesty today was just forced to do so.
I believe that Madame already saw it.
He also was blaming himself a lot.
Now that the Zhao State is in the initial stage of its annihilation, the Jin Wei has lost its backer.
After destroying the Han government, our Qin converted the area to the Yingchuan Commandery.
The Zhao state will also become a territory of Qin very soon.
May Madame try thinking about it. If at this time, my Qin is unable to pacify the thoughts of the people,
then the situation would have been worse.
A cruel war like that is not only a fight between two states.
It would become several wars in each states. People in misery and suffering.
Madame also will not like
to see such kind of situation, right?
[Jing Manor]
Your Highness Crown Prince and Lord Tian Guang, take care.
What are you thinking?
Elder?
You were so lost in thought.
Elder, you are finally here.
Jing Ke, after reading what you wrote in your letter,
I then traveled day and night to rush here.
Elder, thank you.
Jing Ke, could it be that you already agreed to their request?
Yes.
[Handan, Zhao State]
How come Zheng'er is still not back?
Queen Dowager, do not get anxious.
- Queen Dowager. - Where is Zheng'er?
Queen Dowager, His Majesty is here.
- Zheng'er... - Royal mother.
- Zheng'er... - Greetings, Your Majesty.
I was late.
You are finally back.
We can return to Xianyang now.
I cannot go anymore.
Handan...
Handan is my home.
I will not go anywhere.
Li'er...thank you.
You fulfilled your promise to bring me back here.
Queen Dowager, these are all things that I should do.
Too bad, I was unable to stay by your side all the time.
You...have already done so much for me.
Zheng'er...
Come, Zheng'er. Taste this.
Is this the flavor that you love when you were little?
Taste it.
Is it the same taste?
Yes.
It is exactly the same as when I was little.
My son...
I am sorry.
Can you forgive me?
Ha?
Did you really forgive me already?
Yes.
This way, I am already at ease.
I am at ease.
Li'er....
Taste them too.
Here.
Royal mother.
- Royal mother! - Queen Dowager...
Royal mother!
Queen Dowager!
Royal mother...
Mother...
Do not leave...
Stop convincing me already, Chamberlain. I have already made my decision.
When I leave, have to trouble all of you regarding the funeral of Queen Dowager then.
May Madame not worry. I surely will handle the funeral of Queen Dowager well.
With this decision by Madame Li, I believe that not only the citizens of my Qin
but all citizens of the world will be grateful to you.
Hope that what I made was a the right choice.
Then Madame Li, take care.
[Ji City, Yan State]
Lord, my Junior Master Lu Goujian is also a famous blacksmith.
Why not just look for him?
The sword made by Lu Goujian indeed are not bad
but do you know from whom he learned his method of making swords?
Could it be this Xu Furen? (literally means Madam Xu or Missus Xu)
Indeed.
But never thought the the best blacksmith of this era is actually a woman.
Who said that he is a woman?
Is it not Lord said that it was a 'furen' (madam)?
Xu Furen, Xu Furen,
that is because his surname is Xu and first name Furen.
He is distinguished real man.
So that is the case.
We are here.
Here?
Lord, is this not a stable?
They say that the great finds are hiding in the city. This is an example.
Let us go in.
Brother Xu.
It is me, Tian Guang.
Tian Guang, why did you come here?
- For the sword that you make. - Get lost.
I will not borrow them to you.
Xu Furen, do not forget.
Twenty years ago, I even saved your life while you were in Qi State.
I remember. But my sword is more important than my life.
I am not lending them. Get lost!
You...
Elder, please allow me to test the sword. My name is Jing Ke.
We want to borrow your sword for a grand undertaking for the sake of the world.
Hope you are willing to separate with your beloved sword just for the tens of thousands of citizens.
I do not care about jianghu matters, the more not care about royal matters.
If you want to kill someone, go kill him by yourself.
I am not lending my sword. You leave too.
Elder, we only are borrowing your sword.
Once we are done with our mission, we will return the divine sword that you created
with both hands. Hope you can help us accomplish our aim.
Not lending. Get lost.
- Elder. - Forget it already, Jing Ke.
He really has such kind of attitude.
If he will not give it, let us go look for your Junior Master Lu Goujian. Let us go.
What?
You are the nephew of Lu Goujian?
So what if I am? Since you are not willing to lend me your sword,
there is then nothing to talk about between us.
He stole one of my sword. I am going to ask you to bring me back that sword.
You are such a strange person.
My Junior Master stealing your sword
must be because you offended him. I will not help you get it.
I am telling to get it back!
Stop your nonsense! If you still come forward, do not blame me for being discourteous!
This is the famous dagger Yuchang.
How come you have this dagger?!
Not your business.
- Lord, let us go. - Okay.
Wait!
Your Junior Master stole my sword.
I am going to let you bring me another in exchange!
This person indeed loved swords to insanity. He actually was wearing a vest full of daggers.
Stop!
Or else, I will destroy all your dagger.
No!
Do not! No! Do not kill my children...
Do not hurt my children...
Do not... My children...
No one is allowed to steal my children...
Elder, do not worry. I will not touch your weapons anymore.
My...my children...
No one can hurt my children.
Elder, you said earlier that you want to see the Yuchang dagger.
I will let you borrow my Yuchang so you could take a look at it. How about it?
This...really?
Of course, it is real.
But you must promise me that you will return it to me after looking at it. You must not privately take it.
I surely. I surely.
If you do not take mine, I will also not take yours.
- Surely. Surely. - Okay.
It is a deal then.
Extremely well tempered bronze, shaped from just one bronze.
Beautiful.
Exquisitely beautiful. This Yuchang
indeed lives up to its reputation as a divine weapon.
Really a best quality item.
Your dagger is very good.
Never breaking despite day and night of cleaning. This Yuchang is already hundred years old.
When it reached your hands, it instead looked newer.
You are also a person that love swords.
Thank you for the praises of elder.
If elder trusts me,
please let me borrow your sword.
I will wholeheartedly treat your child like how I treated my Yuchang.
I...
To tell you the truth, the reason I am asking for your sword
- is to assassinate the king of Qin. - Jing Ke!
I believe that Elder will not tell anyone about it.
Your sword will be unafraid of dying like me.
But no matter if I win or not, it will be remembered for thousands of years.
Elder, are you going to lend it to me or not?
[Valley at the outskirts of Zhao State]
King Zheng of Qin, the day of your death has come.
Qin King! The day of your death has come!
Give me your life!
Such a good strategy of luring your enemy out.
Hateful King Zheng of Qin!
Zhao Jia, I will consider that you are a member of the royal family of Zhao
and I will give you a chance to live.
What a joke! You think I can defeat a woman like you?
Where is Ying Zheng?
His Majesty has already left.
- My brothers, listen to my order. - Here!
- Black Banner Army of Qin, listen to my command! - Yes!
- Kill all of them! - Kill!
Your Highness Crown Prince, Jing Ke is not inside the manor.
What could be the reason for you visit today?
Warrior Ge, I came today to see you.
Oh? See me?
I have always been unworldly like wild stocks and floating clouds.
What then could be the reason that Your Highness Crown Prince is here to see me?
Warrior Ge, may I ask if you know
about the scheme that His Highness Crown Prince and Young Warrior Jing is planning?
Even if Young Warrior Jing does not say it, I also can guess it more or less.
It is just that I thought that people of jianghu
has always not meddled with government affairs.
What kind of conditions could have Your Highness Crown Prince
used to coerce Young Warrior Jing?
Warrior Ge, since you have already come here to the Jing Manor, I will be frank then.
In reality, I wanted to invite you to help out Young Warrior Jing
and enter the Qin palace together with him.
In my opinion, the plot to assassinate the king of Qin
is just suicide.
Things like that which is just fruitless labor, I definitely will not do.
Warrior Ge, in terms of martial arts skills, other than Young Warrior Jing,
yours can be considered as the strongest in the present world.
So you are also the only person who could help Jing Ke.
What is the use of having superior martial arts abilities?
How many Qin soldiers can that go against?
No matter how high the martial arts skills of Young Warrior Jing is,
would he really be able to go against 1,000 elite soldiers?
Even if he is able to resist 1,000, there are still 10,000 more, 100,000 more elite soldiers waiting for him.
That is why, Your Highness Crown Prince,
no matter how good the martial arts skills of a person is,
what is the use of that in front of thousands to tens of thousands of army?
Miss Ge Lan and Warrior Ge, I will take my leave now.
Father, was everything that you two were talking earlier true?
Brother Jing is really going?
Talk! When did you know?!
You all were hiding it from me, is it not? Talk!
No wonder...
No wonder he went to look for the blacksmith master in Zhao State
with Lord Tian Guang.
Talk!
Lan'er, you must understand.
When Jing Ke decided to help Crown Prince Dan escape from Qin,
he already chose the path to go against Qin.
This is his own choice. It has nothing to do with you.
How could it not have anything to do with me?
For so many years,
you know very well about my feelings for Brother Jing.
Even though he does not have me in his heart,
in my heart, I have long decided that it would be him.
His matter is my matter!
Lan'er!
Why must you do this?
I know that Brother Jing has the ambition of helping the world.
I will support him in whatever he does.
But this matter concerns his life. I definitely will not allow it.
Lan'er!
Where are you going?
I...
You know already?
You are going to look for His Highness Crown Prince and reason out with him, am I right?
I cannot just watch you die.
It was not easy for you to finally learn a peerless martial arts technique.
You cannot just die in vain due to the personal interest of Crown Prince Dan,
the interest of Yan State!
I am not going there to die.
I am going there to save the world.
Han and Zhao have been eliminated. Yan and Qi will soon be unable to save themselves.
I am already a person from a dead state. I wander around the world and has not fear of death.
But there are still a lot of citizens in this world who are living there well-off days.
If they become people without a state or a home,
who then will protect them?
The Qin state is a very dangerous place.
Even if you are able to assassinate the king of Qin,
what about you?! Who will protect you?!
If sacrificing my life
can get the people of the world good fortune in return, so what if I die?
Where is Madame?
Your Majesty, Madame, she...
to protect your precious health,
she led our Qin army west
so as to lure away Zhao Jia and his men.
This stupid girl, she actually came up with such a strategy just for me.
Madame and I have actually agreed to meet at this place.
But it has already been a day from our agreed time.
She said that if she does not appear at our agreed time,
I must directly return to Xianyang.
Madame Li is here!
Li'er, I know that you will come back.
From now on, no matter what happens,
I am not allowing you to leave me.
Not anymore.
Although Tianming is being treated as a prince of Qin and being raised in the palace,
his real father is actually you.
Junior brother, you cannot assassinate the king of Qin.
Because the king of Qin also knows that Tianming is your son.
