Don't be afraid. I'm here.
Reporting to Empress Dowager, the situation is too chaotic. Look!
For undermining the back palace,
execute them on the spot!
KILL!
Fu Ya!
Stop, stop!
Retreat!
Imperial Mother
Why must you kill my wife.
Did you not see?
They have feelings for each other!
Their actions
are a disgrace to the Emperor!
I have known of this since long ago.
Your majesty already knows of this?
Why must you still...?
That was the past.
I do not care for it.
My Northern Han court will absolutely not tolerate
something so perverse!
I only want Fu Ya
As long as I can tolerate it,
who dares not!
Your majesty! As the kingdom monarch,
how could you be so self-willed?
It shames the people of the kingdom!
Imperial Mother
Concubine Di is my wife
To treat my wife unjustly,
that's undermining human relations!
I
will absolutely not allow
anyone to undermine order in the back palace!
Her crime is unforgiveable!
Mother
Whatever
your son likes,
Mother wants to destroy.
Before you wanted to kill my brother
and now you want to kill my wife!
I'm your son.
Why must you do this to me?
WHY!?
Emperor,
doing this
is all for you.
I'm not a three-year-old child
I don't need your concern
All of you listen!
From now on,
whoever dares touch a hair of Concubine Di,
I'll kill him!!
Your majesty, if I kill her,
will you kill me too?
Mother
I'm not as cruel as Mother,
capable of hurting her own relatives.
If Mother
insists on killing Concubine Di,
then I
will kill myself.
If Mother takes away my wife,
I will take away your son.
Fu Ya!Get up!
Fu Ya! Let go of me!
I dare ask Empress Dowager
How should we deal with Meng Qi You?
KILL.
Mother!!
If Mother can pardon Concubine Di,
why can't you pardon Meng Qi You?
Please let him go!
He's a scourge. He can't be kept around!
Mother you're so biased towards Imperial brother!
You can pardon the person he loves,
but want to kill the person I like!
Fine, kill him. If you kill him,
I will let Mother
never see daughter again!
Princess, this,
How can I
have given birth to
such a pair of children?
Empress Dowager!
Empress Dowager's imperial decree
Shu Emperor Meng Qi You
is to be imprisoned in Ding Bei Palace.
No visitors allowed
Violators will be killed without exception
Qi You!!
You just had some medicine
Lie down and rest
How about him? Is he dead?
Don't worry, he didn't die.
You shouldn't have saved me.
You should have let me die.
End everything once and for all
Then what about me?
Have you ever thought about me?
Leaving me here all alone,
how could you have the heart?
Fortunately your injuries are minor this time
If anything happened to you,
what about me?
I only have one heart.
What do you want me to do?
I know, I was too imposing
Even if Liu Lian Cheng protects me,
others in the palace won't tolerate us alive.
Qi You
How should I save you from here?
Emperor!
Who let you in.
Replying
to your majesty,
Empress Dowager has fallen critically ill.
Your majesty, please go see Empress Dowager one last time
Critically ill again?
Your majesty, this time, it's real.
The imperial doctor said that...
What?
Go back and tell the Empress Dowager
that I won't fall for her tricks like last time.
Your majesty.
LEAVE!
Your majesty.
Princess, servant can do nothing to help
You...
I'll kill you useless thing.
Princess, the Empress Dowager is critically ill
You can't shed blood before her
Think of something. Think of something for me.
Hurry and think of something!
No matter what, you must save Mother!
HURRY!
Servant is bold
I'd like to say something to the Empress Dowager
Say it! Quickly!
Empress Dowager fell critically ill because of an argument with the Emperor
This was all caused by that Concubine Di
Empress Dowager, while you still have the authority
and the strength,
why don't you issue an order to kill Concubine Di?
Otherwise,
this Concubine Di
will become a big problem for our court!
Audacious!
Imperial family matters
how dare a servant express thoughts on!
She's right.
Even now, I
don't know what to do with that Di Lian.
When I leave,
she will bring disastrous chaos to the court.
My Northern Han
will be ruined in her hands.
Xiang Yun
Subject here
When I leave,
that witch must be killed.
Subject obeys
Mother!
I was wrong.
I made you mad.
That's why you're sick.
It was my fault.
Lian Si
Mother
Don't cry
After I leave,
you must not stir up any more trouble.
Mother won't leave me
I won't let you leave, Mother
Where's the Emperor?
Why is he not here yet?
Empress Dowager, bad news!
The Emperor doesn't believe that you're ill
He won't come.
Mother
What? He won't come?
This heartless son...
Mother!!
Empress Dowager! Mother! Empress Dowager!
Mother!!
Empress Dowager!Go! Quickly get the Emperor!
Get him here!
What do you mean.
Princess.
Alright, but let me tell you.
If something goes wrong,
I'll kill you immediately.
This...who can do this?
What if...
If I wanted to harm her,
Fine, I'll believe you this time.
Princess.
Why are you here?
i'm healing you.
About this,
how come I can't remember it?
When you got sick,
you didn't remember anything.
Why are you like this.
No, you don't understand.
It's you.
Why are you here?
Why are YOU here?
What if I did?
How?
Why do you try it?
How dare you!
How are you? Did he harm you?
Do you feel weird anywhere?
Numbness anywhere?
What happened?
I'm fine.
By the way,
Don't forget.
Thi...This is.
Why?
You've changed.
You're the Emperor, the kingdom monarch
But you're infected by the commoners'
weak, hopeless human kindness and sympathy.
Those are fake,
useless things.
You will regret it
Humble general greets Milady
General A Nu need not be so formal
Thanks Milady
I heard that General A Nu's martial arts are outstanding,
saving the emperor twice on the battlefield.
Protecting the Emperor is my duty
Humble general dares not claim credit
Good
General is very loyal
I will keep that in mind
When assigning official posts in the future,
I will be sure to promote General.
Many thanks Milady
If Milady has any instructions in the future,
humble general will serve you with my life.
I would like General to serve the Emperor
and our Northern Han
by eliminating a serious threat.
May I ask who Milady is referring to?
Meng Qi You
Why didn't you ask General A Nu to kill Ma Fu Ya?
But instead let him kill Meng Qi You?
Silly maid
If Ma Fu Ya dies, I would be the first person the Emperor suspects.
But if Meng Qi You dies...
just think
Ma Fu Ya
Who will she think killed him?
The Emperor?
Since the Emperor won't turn against Ma Fu Ya,
I'll have to make Ma Fu Ya turn against the Emperor.
The Empress wants Meng Qi You to die
That's exactly what I desire
Wait, what is this?
Replying to General, this is Meng Qi You's food.
Give it to me, I want to inspect it
General, The Emperor specially asked someone to prepare this
It's always been delivered directly to him
Why is there suddenly an inspection today?
Lately, I heard some news
that Shu Kingdom sent a spy to infiltrate our kingdom with intentions to save Meng Qi You.
I'm afraid the food basket might be hiding a weapon,
so I came to check it.
Ok, it's fine. You can bring it in.
Yes
I've never seen a prisoner treated as well as you.
You can sleep and eat,
even write and draw as you please.
Look how kind our Emperor is to you
You should be grateful
Wait
Greetings Princess!
Get rid of these for me
What I meant to say was this is food for prisoners.
It's not for humans
Get rid of them
You've been wronged, Princess
This was all specially arranged by the Emperor
He eats even better than us
Even so, it can't be better than what I personally prepared!
I told you not to eat it!
What if there's poison?
Aren't you afraid of being poisoned?
Princess, you wrongfully accuse me!
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this food
If you don't believe me, I'll eat it
Look, nothing wrong!
What are you laughing at?
I...
Shut up!
I don't know why
I order you to shut up!
Shut up! Quickly!
What's wrong with him? Is he crazy?
He was poisoned
What poison?
I want to rule the world!
What are you laughing at?
Shut up!
I don't know why
Epilepsy poison
Someone tried to poison Qi You
Who could it be?
According to the prison guard,
the Emperor specially ordered someone to prepare his food and deliver it everyday.
It couldn't be the Emperor?
Nonsense!
Lian Cheng couldn't possibly do something like this
He wouldn't use such despicable methods
But whether in love or military battles,
to the Emperor, Meng Qi You is a thorn in his flesh.
Who wouldn't want to rid themselves of their rival?
Impossible. I trust Lian Cheng.
He has no reason to poison him
Do you know what the prison guard was poisoned with?
According to Meng Qi You, it was some crazy laughing poison.
How did he die?
He suddenly started laughing madly
and lunged at Princess Lian Si with his sword.
As if he went crazy
It really was the epilepsy drug
Why would you do something so despicable as poisoning him?!
You ordered the food that was delivered to him
but unfortunately that prison guard ate it!
He's already dead!
Princess
Princess, if the Emperor wanted to kill Meng Qi You, he could totally do it in the open.
Why use such surreptitious methods like poisoning?
What do you know?
Of course Imperial Brother wouldn't dare kill Meng Qi You in public
because he's afraid Concubine Di will turn against him.
Scram!
Yes
But you really, really thought
that by stealthily poisoning him,
you could fool everyone?
Put the blame on someone else?
You really think that Concubine Di will believe someone else did it?
Am I,
in your view, really that unbearable?
Brother
Release that Meng Qi You
- If you release him, the things today wouldn't happen. / - Nonsense!
Meng Qi You is a prisoner of war and monarch of the enemy kingdom.
How could I release him so easily?
You're just making excuses!
Brother, you're the Emperor
Who would dare disobey the Emperor's order?
Important matters of state are not as simple as you think.
About Meng Qi You, I will make the final decision.
Shu Kingdom already has a new Emperor
Brother still keeps the old one in captivity
It's obviously all for Ma Fu Ya!
But have you thought that every day Meng Qi You stays in the palace,
Ma Fu Ya is thinking of him?
Same with Meng Qi You
For both of us,
it's torture!
Lian Si, listen to Imperial Brother
Falling in love with Meng Qi You won't end well.
And falling in love with Ma Fu Ya will?
