The King's Woman
Episode 42
Even if I cannot stop Brother Jing,
I must accompany him to the end.
Where are you going?
I...
You know already. You're looking for His Highness Crown Prince to reason with him, right?
I cannot watch you die.
It wasn't easy for you to learn a peerless martial arts technique.
You can't die in vain due to the personal interest of Crown Prince for Yan State!
I am not going there to die!
I am going there to save the world.
Yan and Zhao have been eliminated. Yan and Qi will soon be unable to save themselves.
I'm a person from a dead state. I've been wandering around the world, unafraid of death.
But there are still a lot of citizens in this world who are living with their well-off days.
If they become people without a state or home, who will protect them?
Qin State is a very dangerous place.
Even if you can assassinate the Qin king, what about you?
Who will protect you?!
If sacrificing life can be exchanged for the citizen's happiness,
it is fine I die.
Lan'er
do not be like this.
Jing Ke!
Turns out you are here.
I have been looking for you.
What is the matter with you two?
It does not concern you.
Warrior Qin, why are you looking for me?
I am not looking for you. Your Senior is looking for you.
This is the residence His Highness Crown Prince arranged for us. It's cozy.
I'm saying you don't need to find some kind of guest house. It's fine to stay here.
Qin Wuyang, why are you so thick-skinned?
His Highness Crown Prince clearly arranged this for Brother Jing. You're speaking like it was arranged for you.
Lan'er. You...
His Highness Crown Prince gave us this place to stay temporarily.
There is no need to distinguish whose house it is.
Jing Ke, Warrior Han is visiting today. It's rare we meet.
It would be good to ask a person to prepare some food and wine. Everyone can celebrate.
Junior Brother, turns out after you perfected the Huluo Sword Technique,
you are now able to enjoy such grand house, good wines, accept the admiration of so many people,
and not anymore getting involved with the matters of jianghu realm.
Do not tell me this is your repayment to master.
I finally see it clearly today.
Brother Han, it is not like that.
Eldest Senior, let us have a chat.
There is nothing to discuss.
Right now, you are an important guest being served by the Crown Prince Dan of Yan
while I am just a idle person that came down to jianghu.
What do you mean? Brother Han is not staying...
I am no longer in the Qin palace.
I do not need to stay there anymore.
Brother Han, you have been journeying for so long. Let us just first go inside and have some drinks.
No need. His Highness Crown Prince gave this noble residence to Warrior Jing.
I am just an ordinary citizen. I am not worthy to be here.
I will take my leave.
Brother Han!
What is wrong with him?
Say, you two co-disciples are really quite difficult.
[Ji City]
Brother Han!
Miss Lan'er,
if you came here to urge us to reconcile, there is no need for it.
The sword skills of Jing Ke now has long been above mine.
He has no need to give any importance to me, his eldest senior brother, anymore.
I will take my leave.
Brother Han.
The matter is not like what you think.
You have blamed him wrongly.
Brother Jing has unavoidable difficulties
that is why he was unable to say them to you.
[House of Jing Ke]
Young Warrior Jing, Young Warrior Han,
I can drink and talk sincerely with the both of you tonight.
I have nothing else to ask for in this life.
Warrior Jing, I toast a cup to you.
Warrior Han, I also toast a cup to you.
So refreshing!
Junior Brother is a bit unusual tonight. What is his plan?
Eldest Senior, I want to have a discussion with General Fan.
Can you go ahead?
Alright, since that is the case, I will leave first.
Informing Your Majesty, Your Majesty's pulse is more steady than before.
Presumably, if Your Majesty slowly take care of your health,
it will slowly recover.
Thank you for your troubles Royal Physician.
Thank you Your Majesty
Greetings Your Majesty
I heard your health is improving so I immediately rushed over to visit.
Where is Madame Li?
I do not know how long I have been sleeping. Where is this?
Informing Your Majesty, in order to dodge the Zhao army, I complied with Madame Li’s instructions
and went via Shanyang. We are currently at San Chuan region.
In 10 days, we will be back in Xianyang.
Is Madame no longer in the barracks?
Li Zhong
you do not need to deceive me. Tell me truthfully.
Where is Madame?
Your Majesty, Madame..to protect Your Majesty's precious health,
she led the Qin army west to lure away Zhao Jia's army.
Stupid girl. She came up with this strategy just for me.
Originally, Madame and I agreed to meet here.
But it has already been day from our agreed time.
Madame, she...
has not appeared.
Previously, Your Majesty was unconscious. I did not dare to report to Your Majesty.
If Your Majesty wants to blame, please punish me.
Because of me, Madame Li is bravely fighting the army alone. We don't know if she's dead or alive. How can I be calm?!
Your Majesty, Madame Li said, regardless of whether she lives or die, it is all for Your Majesty.
If she does not appeared at the agreed time,
I must return straight to Xianyang.
Warrior Jing, to be frank,
My life is not peaceful.
Qin King
Ying Cheng killed my relatives.
I have sleepless nights. At night,
I often think of my wife and my child's face.
My heart
My heart aches like a knife is cutting it apart.
I hate I am unable...
unable to fight a big battle with the Qin army!
Even if my corpse rots in the wilderness after I died,
I do not care.
Warrior Jing
You and I are friends.
If you have anything, just be frank.
Your Highness Crown Prince, I planned to use the reason of Yan surrendering,
disguise as a Yan envoy, and entered the hall in a grandiose manner.
This plan is doable. Ying Zheng sees land (territories) as if it is his life.
If we use Du and Kang, the two richest areas of Yan as bait,
even a man as cunning as the king of Qin, he still surely will be moved by it.
Other than Du and Kang, I think we still need one item
before we can earn the trust of Qin and be able to have an audience with the king of Qin.
Oh? What is this item?
General Fan,
this item is you.
The king of Qin already has already offered thousands of gold and tens of thousands of households within a village
to the world in exchange for your head.
If Yan expresses that we are willing to offer your head,
the king of Qin surely will think that His Highness Crown Prince is sincerely surrendering.
What a wise plot.
This plot not only can solve the current predicament of Yan,
it can also help me seek my revenge!
Young Warrior Jing, I am impressed.
Come! I am going to toast you again!
If this useless life of mine
can still do something for the citizens
of this world and His Highness Crown Prince,
then me dragging out this ignoble life until now
is worth it already!
Young Warrior Jing, do it now.

Your Majesty, we discovered traces of the Wei army ten miles from here. The main army of our Qin is currently not here.
For the safety of Your Majesty,
may Your Majesty give the order to strike and withdraw from this camp.
Is Madame Li back already?
Still not.
While Madame Li has not yet return, we will not withdraw.
Your Majesty, prioritize the general situation! Please immediately withdraw from this place!
While Madame Li is not back, we are not withdrawing! Do you not understand?!
Madame Li is here!
Li'er, I just knew that you will return.
Informing Your Highness Crown Prince, Young Warrior Jing came to visit. He said that he has an important matter and must immediately see you.
He also said that he has informed Lord Tian Guang to immediately come here too.
Lord Tian.
Your Highness.
Your Highness Crown Prince.
Lord.
I have already prepared the other gift to be given in the personal audience to the king of Qin.
General Fan used his own life...
General Fan... Wuji...
I have wronged you...
General Fan,
did not suffer that much
and it already ended.
I have previously sworn
that I will never return to Handan in this lifetime.
I thought that returning to that place that I feared the most
would let my painful memories to stop haunting me.
But who would have known that
I would do such a terrifying thing.
Li'er,
as long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of anything.
Even if everyone in this world disdain or
hate me, I also will not be afraid.
If not because of you, I would probably still lock my royal mother up in that cold palace,
not seeing her forever.
I will never have made up for this regret.
I am just a guide.
The person who was willing to open up the defense of your heart is you.
I believe that the soul of Queen Dowager in Heaven
will surely be very grateful to you for taking her back to Handan.
Li'er, since I was little,
no one ever treated me like you do.
You disregarded your safety just for me.
You endangered yourself just to lure Zhao Jia away.
From now on, no matter what happens,
I am not allowing you to leave me again.
Not ever again.
Greetings, General Wang Jian.
Seeing the demeanor of general, are you here to negotiate for peace?
Yes.
Come over!
General, our Crown Prince left Qin
without getting the permission of His Majesty and felt guilty about it.
And due to the fear of the might of the Qin army, we dare not send out our army to battle against you.
Our Northern Yan is offering to Qin our the two richest lands, Du and Kang,
to be your vassal lands and be under your rule.
This is the personal writing of His Highness Crown Prince as proof that everything that I said were true.
Junior brother.
You cannot kill Ying Zheng.
Do not meddle in my matter.
Junior brother.
Do not meddle in my matters. Do not interfere.
The child of junior sister is yours.
What did you say?
Although Tianming is being raised in the Qin palace like a prince,
his real father is you.
Jing Ke, you are his real father.
You are saying that the child of Li'er...
How is that possible?
This is the truth.
You think there is a need for me to use this matter to fool you?
When did you know? How could this child be...
Li'er got pregnant with this child before she entered the palace.
I also did not know of it that time.
I thought he was the son of the king of Qin.
I previously had thought of killing him.
But Li'er told me
that Tianming is your child.
I bore Ying Zheng a child.
- Junior Sister! - Eldest Senior!
What did you say?
The name of my son is Tianming.
As his mother, I must return to the Qin palace.
Ying Zheng, he...
- I am going to kill him! I am going to kill him! - You cannot kill him!
He is the father of my son. My child cannot lose his father.
That is why, you are currently the woman of Ying Zheng. You are thinking for his sake now, is that it?
No wonder, you keep talking in his behalf, always defending him.
So what if I can kill Ying Zheng?
What about Li'er? If Ying Zheng dies, I got caught,
would she be able to leave the royal palace on her own?! Moreover, there is still--
Still what?! Still what?!
There is still that child of her with Ying Zheng, is it not? She cannot bear to lose that child, is it not?!
You must believe that Li'er really did all of these for your own good.
No matter what you want to think, everything that Li'er did was for you.
Junior Sister, these past years,
were you hiding something from me?
Why must she lie to me?
Why did she not tell me the truth?
Li'er indeed thought about you and Tianming reuniting.
But even if you two do reunite, what then?
Tianming was still an infant then.
Let us not talk about first how to bring him out of the palace,
even if you all were indeed able to escape to a faraway place,
will the king of Qin let you all off?
Junior sister did not want you to suffer.
The more she does not want to hinder your future just because of her and Tianming.
She still cared for you.
Cared for the future of our Gongsun sect.
That time, was it not also because of you
that she sacrificed herself to enter the palace?
Think about it. If you knew about the existence of Tianming,
will you still be able to reach your current strength?
Junior brother...
You cannot go assassinate the king of Qin because he also know that
Tianming is your son.
If you go,
you are going to push Li'er and Tianming to a fiery pit!
If you still care about Li'er even for just a bit,
for this matter, I beg you to listen to me just this once.
Senior...
It is already too late...
to talk about these.
What do you mean?
Brother Jing! Brother Jing!
Did you not had a drink with General Fan last night? How come the room is full of blood?
What really has happened?
I killed General Fan.

I am relaying the command of General Wang Jian. He has an important matter to report to His Majesty.
His Majesty is indeed here. Just hand it over.
Wait here.
Informing Your Majesty, General Wang has an important matter to report.
The Yan state is surrendering.
They will be sending an envoy to Qin.
Senior Brother, you should understand
that this matter has no room to turn back anymore.
But with this act of yours,
if others learn of the relationship between you three,
you are just letting Li'er and Tianming wait for death in the palace.
Senior Brother, I know.
I had such kind of misunderstanding towards you and Li'er.
I really has no right to beg you to do anything for me anymore.
But for the sake of us being from the same martial arts sect,
can you help me one last time?
What help are you asking from me?
Senior Brother,
before I arrive at Qin, can you bring Li'er and Tianming
out of the palace?
Even if you do not say so, I will also do the same thing. But regardless,
you still have disregarded the safety of Li'er.
No matter if you are successful in assassinating the king of Qin or not,
Qin will not let you all off. Your child
is destined to wander the world and keep escaping his whole life.
I have wronged them.
In this lifetime,
I fear that I will not have the chance to make it up anymore.
I also will not be able to make up for everything that I owed Li'er.
You indeed will never be able to repay them all.
I am really quite funny. I actually thought that
if I mention Li'er and Tianming, it will move you.
For so many years,
other than yourself, when did you consider the sake of others?
I really cannot understand.
In your eyes, do your wife and son just weigh only that much?
Why? Could it be because of that Crown Prince Dan of Yan?
He can give you honor, fame, wealth, and position so you are going to risk your life in working for him?
Then the Li'er who sacrificed everything for you, what is she worth?!
Brother Jing is not that kind of person!
He sacrificed everything and paid with his life
just to fulfill the last will of Warrior Gonsun
to save the citizens of the world from miseries.
Maybe this is what he is destined to do.
He can only move following his destiny.
Brother Jing is not the person that you are thinking!
Lan'er, do not say it anymore.
Destiny?
For Li'er, she sacrificed herself
to live the rest of her life in the palace so as to help you attain achievement in your sword skills.
In the end, dying because of the dogmatic act of yours and Crown Prince Dan of Yan.
This is her destiny, is that it?
Jing Ke,
junior sister has worried about you all her life.
While you? When did you ever think for her sake?
Ha?
If you really understand her,
you will never have misunderstood her for such along time.
If this is the destiny that you all are talking about,
I hope not to let Tianming do the same mistakes again.
♫ I looked up. The sky has turned dark again. ♫
♫ I prayed for my blue wish. ♫
I have actually been wanting to leave the fights of the Jianghu realm.
I want to go to a remote province or go in seclusion
in the forests with you.
Have you ever thought about it?
♫ Yet I cannot turn against the already ascertain curve. ♫
♫ Who is still in the domain of someone's heart? ♫
♫ If my heart is not at ease, I cannot pretend to like something. ♫
As long as I am able to see you, even if I have to die a hundred times,
I’d surely get revived.
I just want to look for an earthly paradise with Senior,
stay far away from the fights of the Jianghu realm,
and be an ordinary couple.
Senior, have you ever liked me?
Do you treat me as your little sister
or as a woman?
You must remember. Whatever happens,
no matter where you are, my heart
will only belong to you.
♫ 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. ♫
♫ Over years and months, my pain remains deep. ♫
♫ While I try to mask my laughter, the flowers fall like tears. ♫
♫ I have merely turned around. ♫
This medicine is too bitter. Ask the Royal Physician to cook it more.
This medicinal soup has been cooked 3 times already.
This is not the most bitter medicinal soup I have drank.
If Your Majesty complains about the bitterness, you're making it difficult for people.
When I drank the medicine before, it didn’t seem bitter.
It’s because before, Your Majesty likes to be brave so it didn’t seem bitter.
Here. Drink this medicinal soup quickly. You will recover quicker.
Right Right
Madame is right. I will drink it.
While I was sleeping, did Li Zhong come to find me?
Yes. His Excellency Chamberlain wanted to report a matter to Your Majesty.
What matter?
Could it be…
There’s some kind of situation about sending troops to Wei and Han?
Look at yourself. You just woke up.
You haven’t recovered completely. You immediately start asking about state and military affairs.
Wait until you are better before worrying about it.
I am very well. Tell me quickly.
What happened?
If you do not say it, I will not be able to sleep well tonight.
His Excellency Chamberlain came to inform Your Majesty
about the Yan State ministers coming to surrender.
His Excellency Chamberlain thinks it isn’t right. He’s worried it is a bluff.
He doesn’t know if Your Majesty wants to refuse them.
Indeed.
Yan Dan will not do something like this.
I also think the same.
Truthfully, while Your Majesty was recuperating,
another matter happened.
What matter?
Several days ago, Yan State sent a letter,
saying the Yan ministers are coming to surrender.
Not only will he hand over the map of Du and Kang,
they are also handing over the head of General Fan Wuqi.
Fan Wuqi is dead?
He was very friendly with Yan Dan. Could it really be because of surrendering,
he was killed?
The friendship between Yan Dan and Fan Wuqi is deep.
When I first heard it, it was hard to believe.
All the 6 states know about the Qin army arresting General Fan Wuqi.
Yan State probably will not hide this matter.
Your Majesty, truthfully,I have a matter to request of you.
Say it.
If the Yan State ministers come to seek an audience first,
can you not send troops to attack Yan State?
I don’t want a war.
Furthermore, I do not want it to result in another casualty.
It seems the only thing that hasn’t changed in this world
is my Consort Li.
Do not worry. I promise you
If Yan State comes to truly surrender,
I will guarantee peace to his Great Yan.
Thank you Your Majesty.
I should thank you.
While I was unconscious,
you have been continually taking care of me.
If you were not around,
maybe I would have died earlier in Handan.
I know. I know.
If you cannot give up on assassinating the king of Qin just for Sister Li,
but can you preserve yourself...
just for me?
Royal power is not something that you want.
It is something that you must want. Only by sitting on that royal throne
can your protect yourself, protect the people around you.
Li'er, I might not be able to guard you forever.
But if Tianming becomes the Crown Prince,
he then can officially protect you in my behalf.
If we collude to help Fu Su become the Crown Prince,
the position of Madame will become more stable.
This will provide a deep and long benefit for the future of Chu.
I cannot let you do such a thing.
If I die, spread the news.
Say that I offended Your Highness Crown Prince that is why I got killed.
Blame all the responsibility about rebelling against Qin on me.
This way, on this trip of Jing Ke towards Qin,
no one will suspect it anymore.
Lord!
