You heard everything?
You also think l did it?
l believe it wasn't you
Why don't you suspect me?
l don't think you would use any means,
and resort to poison.
Then what if
l once did it?
You're wrong
l did poison Meng Qi You
Why would you admit to it?
You're the best person in the world to me
l believe that you would never do
anything to hurt me.
That's because you don't know me
l am a bad person
who commits endless crimes
and treats you the worst in this world
and hurts you the most!
Princess, what did the Emperor say?
I'm certain that he didn't order the poisoning
Then what did the Emperor say about this?
Originally, l wanted to use this opportunity to beg him for Qi You's release
But lately his temperament has changed dramatically
He seemed very agitated just now
l didn't dare say anything
If l provoked him,
Qi You would be in even greater danger.
But I'm afraid that if we continue waiting,
Han Cheng Emperor's situation will become progressively more dangerous.
We don't even know who is trying to kill him
It's impossible to guard against
But other than the Emperor,
who else can we count on?
Milady, you saved the Empress Dowager's life
Perhaps if you beg her...
Impossible! The Empress Dowager is an experienced schemer with deep foresight.
She will definitely not agree to releasing him
But in this palace,
aside from the Emperor and Empress Dowager,
who else can help?
Do we really
have to beg that Empress?
l think
one other person may be able to help us.
You mean Princess Lian Si?
Princess has no military power, no real power
How can she help?
Perhaps Xiao Xingan is right
The only person who can help Qi You now
is Princess Lian Si.
Immediately investigate who poisoned him
After you find him, kill him
Yes, Xiao An Zi will take care of it now
Your majesty
Humble general knows who poisoned him
Your majesty, please forgive me for my crime
You poisoned him?
l did give him the poison,
but I'm not the one who wants to kill Meng Qi You.
Your majesty, please investigate
What exactly happened?
Explain yourself clearly
Someone coerced me into giving her poison
l didn't know who she wanted to harm
If l had known it was for killing Meng Qi You,
even if l had 10 heads
l wouldn't dare give it to her! - Who was it?!
Humble general...dares not say
If you tell me,
l will reward you with a promotion.
If you don't tell me,
you will be beheaded immediately.
It...was...the Empress.
Good. Very good.
l bestow upon you the title 'Zhen Guo
General'.
Meng Qi You didn't die
Now what?
It doesn't matter whether he dies or not
didn't really want him to die.
l just wanted Ma Fu Ya to doubt
whether the Emperor poisoned him.
This way,
they will lose trust in each other.
l want Ma Fu Ya
and the Emperor to turn hostile against each other.
You slut!
l expected it would be you!
Yes, it was me
l want Ma Fu Ya to hate you
l will stop at nothing to separate you two
What?
You think l wouldn't dare touch you?
Want to depose me?
The Empress Dowager won't agree to it
If my Imperial Father finds out,
he definitely won't take it without a fight either.
Emperor!
Please calm down, Emperor!
Kill me
Kill me if you have the guts!
If l die,
Ma Fu Ya will discover
your
unspeakably shameful
big secret!
Emperor, please calm down, Emperor
Emperor please calm down!
Emperor!
You dare threaten me
You're the one who gave me something to blackmail
Several days ago,
l received a secret letter from my Imperial Father.
l then found out
how Ma Fu Ya's father
really died.
l found out
who the real mastermind was behind the scenes.
Just think
If she knew you killed her father,
how would she react?
Can you still spend a lifetime with her, with a clear conscience?
l have ways
for you to never speak the truth.
Want to bury this secret by killing me?
Then do it already!
If l die,
my father will definitely tell Ma Fu Ya about this.
The sooner l die,
the sooner she will turn against you.
Milady please calm down
Although the Emperor
dotes very much on Concubine Di,
they haven't carried out
the act between husband and wife!
Shut up! Who asked you to speak?!
Tell her if you dare
I'm not scared of you
Milady, the game you're playing is too risky
Although you have his vulnerable spot,
but will this make him
change his mind about you?
l don't even
care about that anymore.
If l can't have Lian Cheng,
no one else can either!
Don't think
this was my most ruthless, lethal move.
My most lethal move
l haven't used yet!
Milady, what are you going to do?
Didn't you just hear Xiao An Zi?
They haven't consummated their marriage yet
Subtitles brought to you by Team QSHF @ Viki
You've hit a dead end,
so you came to beg me?
When you're begging someone,
you should have the appropriate begging posture.
You're standing up so high
How do you expect me to help you?
l can tell that Princess likes Qi You
But as long as Qi You
stays in Northern Han,
you two will not happen.
Only if he returns to Shu Kingdom,
will you have an opportunity.
I'm never on the losing end of a bargain.
l know very clearly
If he leaves without turning back,
l will end up empty-handed.
I'd rather just leave him here
Visit him
whenever l want.
So you would rather him be unhappy?
Rather keep him in danger?
This time, the poisoning was unsuccessful
but next time,
will he still
be as lucky?
Even on my turf, Meng Qi You
treats me coldly.
If he returns to Shu Kingdom,
how would he possibly
pay any attention to me?
Besides, there's you
Are you really willing to hand him over to me?
As long as Princess can save Qi You,
l will agree to anything.
Good. l accept.
But l have one condition
Princess, please don't hesitate to name your condition
As long as it's doable,
l will agree to it.
l ask you
ls Meng Qi You
a man who takes responsibility?
Of course. What does Princess want?
l want Meng Qi You
to be responsible for me my whole life.
Princess means...
l want to be his wife
his woman.
Alright
The same poison
has appeared in Northern Han.
This can't be a mere coincidence
You can't poison me
Not giving up so easily?
Fu Ya! How did you get in?
l heard you were almost poisoned
so l thought of a way to bribe the guard.
How did you know?
Xiao Xingan told me
Xiao Xingan?
It seems
If I'm freed one day,
l should thank her.
You must be terribly hungry
There's also wine?
You're so thorough
It wouldn't thorough without these
Tonight
you owe me my wedding night.
Come here
Yes
l should give you
a proper wedding night.
Originally l wanted to return to Shu Kingdom
and give you a wedding ceremony,
for the entire world to admire.
But under the present circumstances, we can only have it here.
You have suffered
Don't say that
We finally drank our nuptial wine
This is our special night in the wedding chamber.
This wine is so strong
So strong
Qi You
Will you always remember me?
You won't blame me?
Silly girl
Don't leave, Fu Ya
Where are you going?
Don't leave, Fu Ya
You can go in
Princess! How was it?
Princess!
Princess, don't be too sad
What are you doing?
Xiao Xingan, you don't recognize me?
Crown Prince?
It's almost morning
We'll be discovered
Why is it you?!
It was me all along
You planned this
You forced her to plan this!
Right?
How did l force her?
Ma Fu Ya did this willingly!
Shameless!
l like someone
How am l shameless?
l am after all a princess
If l didn't like you,
would l use such a low method?
I'm telling you
In my entire life,
what l hate most is those that scheme
against me.
Get lost. Get lost!
This isn't only my fault!
If it wasn't for Ma Fu Ya,
would l be able to do it?!
Furthermore,
if she didn't come and find me,
l wouldn't have thought up such a plan.
Why did she come to plead you?
She obviously pleaded me to help you.
Qi You.
Everybody says that,
''once a husband and wife's relationship
has been made,
their bond will continue to be strong.''
Now that we've become husband and
wife,
can't you just be a bit nicer to me?
Get out.
Get lost.
Alright, I'll get out.
I'll leave right now!
I'll leave and I'll let everybody know!
Go.
At the worst, it'll be death for me.
Go and make it known.
Go!
You're not scared of death, right?
Then what about Ma Fu Ya?
What if..
Ma Fu Ya dies instead?
She had her share in this matter too.
The Empress definitely won't
pardon her.
I'm telling you
if you dare bring Fu Ya into this,
I'll definitely kill you!
Alright.. alright.
If you kill me, you'll have to die too.
When that time comes, it'll be me and you.
We'll be together.
We'll go to hell together.
That'll be too good.
I'll be able to have you for myself.
I'll no longer have to worry about
Ma Fu Ya
stealing you away from me.
Then let me tell you.
In my heart,
there is only Ma Fu Ya.
Understand?
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter at all.
In this life,
as long as l can be with you
guarding you, watching you,
it's enough.
Get out.. get out!
She's awake!
Sister, you're awake.
I'm Du Yun.
Brother Yun.. you're really Brother Yun?
Sister, it's me.
I'm your younger brother, Du Yun.
I'm not dreaming, right?
It's not a dream, it's me!
It's really me!
I'm still alive.
Your Brother Yun is still alive!
Brother Yun, I've finally found you!
Sister has finally found you!
I've finally found you!
All these years,
I've been trying to find you
but l haven't heard any news from you.
Have you been through a lot
during these years?
Nothing much.
At that time, l was severely injured,
my leg was broken,
there was a good person, he saved me.
l became his slave.
Doing hard chores in exchange for food.
Sister, don't be upset.
At least l survived.
Compared to those who were beaten to
death,
I'm not unfortunate.
Yes, exactly.
The Crown Prince has become
a general of Northern Han.
Not unfortunate, not unfortunate.
Oh yes.
Then afterwards,
how did you come to Northern Han?
My owner
wanted to sell me initially.
l took the chance to escape.
Northern Han then began a war
with the Kingdom of Shu.
l found a way into the army.
l guess l was lucky,
l managed to achieve some military credit
and l won the appreciation of the Emperor
so he continued to promote me
until my current position.
It must be Father
protecting you in the Heavens.
But the Princess already came to Northern
Han..
Crown Prince,
why didn't you come and admit yourself to
us?
Yes, that day when l saw you,
although you've changed a lot in
appearance,
l felt that it was you.
Why didn't you come and admit your
identity to me?
Sister, your identity in Northern Han
is special, you've garnered many
enemies.
If the two of us made our relationship
public,
if you are to have any trouble in the future
Sister,
l won't have a chance or a place to help you in secret.
That's why l didn't dare to at the time.
Sister, please don't hate me for it.
Why would l?
It's good that you're so considerate and
thoughtful.
You've thought through everything
carefully.
Why would l hate you?
Do you know?
Mother is still alive!
Really? Mother is still alive?!
Where is she?
She's in the Kingdom of Shu.
If she sees us both go back,
she'll definitely be very happy.
What is it?
Sister.
At the moment,
l don't plan to go see Mother in Shu Kingdom yet.
Why?
You don't want to see Mother?
Of course not!
But in Northern Han,
l just gained power and position.
l want to use their troops to restore Chu Kingdom.
When l take our great revenge and welcome mother back,
then l will be a real man with achievements.
then l will be worthy before Imperial Father's heavenly spirit.
Brother Yun
After going through so much,
l really feel that being reunited with family is the most important.
Come back with me
Sister
You came for Meng Qi You
If Meng Qi You doesn't leave, would you leave?
How's my body?
Replying to Milady,
your body is healthy
just easily irritable.
It shouldn't be a big problem
With several doses of medicine,
your irritability will naturally subside.
So it's excessive anger
Lately l often feel nauseous
l even thought l was pregnant
What a disappointment
If you were pregnant,
how could l not report it to Milady?
If l say it's pregnancy,
it must be pregnancy.
You dare disobey my order?
This is a big problem
l dare not deceive the Emperor
Milady is really not pregnant
Who wants you to tell the Emperor
that Empress is pregnant?
l want you to report to the Emperor
that the Niang Niang in Hong Luan Palace is pregnant.
Emperor!
Let's stop practicing
It's already been two hours
If you continue,
your body won't be able to take it.
Why torture yourself like this?
l just want to be with you
and live a simple, ordinary life.
l perform with the sword. You enjoy the flowers.
When I'm tired,
you wipe away my sweat like you just did.
When l was young,
happiness was obtained very easily.
But after growing up,
l realized that
simplicity is a form of happiness.
We have the same fate
We can't even enjoy
the simplest happiness.
Let's leave the palace together
and live ordinary, happy lives, OK?
We'll never be separated
What's the matter? You don't want to?
I've given up so much for you
and you're not willing?
Your Majesty, you should know
a matter of saying you can let go,
and actually being able to.
l know
What you're unwilling to let go of.. is him!
Milady
Fu Ya!
Milady
Quickly summon the imperial physician!
Yes Fu Ya!
Milady
Emperor, the imperial physician is here
Quickly! See what's wrong with her.
Congratulations your majesty
Imperial concubine is with child
What did you say? You didn't make an error in your diagnosis?
Replying to your majesty,
she is indeed undoubtedly with child.
Say that again
What's wrong with her?
Replying to your majesty, she's...she's pregnant.
l...l swear by the heavens
It is absolutely not a lie
Leave, leave, leave! Quickly! Leave!
Heavens bless my court
The Emperor finally has a son
l didn't have to lie
and got a chest of gold for doing nothing.
l must quickly report this good news
to the Empress Dowager.
Xiao An Zi, what happened?
Uh
Reporting to Empress Dowager,
this imperial physician made careless diagnoses and provoked the Emperor.
Out of anger, the Emperor
executed him on the spot.
Clean it up quickly
Get rid of him
Yes
Cheng er
Why be bothered by that imperial physician?
Don't upset yourself
Why is Mother suddenly here?
Yan er
This is your wrongdoing
If there's something,
you should directly report it to me.
Why trouble the Empress Dowager?
Replying to the Emperor,
Empress Dowager heard that Concubine Di was not well
She was extremely worried, and specially came to visit
Actually Concubine Di has exceptional medical skills herself
and did not need the imperial physician to make this trip
and lose his life.
Poor medical skills...
what's the use in keeping him?
You're right
Cheng er
What illness is Concubine Di suffering from?
It's nothing, just minor ailments
Milady!
Milady! Bad news!
What's happened to make you this flustered?
The imperial physician...is dead!
Did the Emperor do it?
Yes, the Emperor killed him himself
Milady, won't this cause
our plan to fail completely?
No, you're wrong
We have hugely succeeded
Just think
Why did the Emperor kill the imperial physician?
To silence him?
Yes
His heart is shrouded by doubts.
At the moment, the Emperor is doubting
Ma Fu Ya's chastity and loyalty.
No man would be able to stand such humiliation
Not to mention
the Emperor, who rises above all others.
l just want to destroy the affection between Ma Fu Ya and the Emperor.
Now, he is already starting to doubt Ma Fu Ya's chastity and loyalty.
The imperial physician's death works in our favor
The dead cannot talk
This way, l won't have to worry
about being caught and blamed.
Are you sure she's pregnant?
It's true, it's actually true
What's wrong?
It's nothing
Concubine Di is pregnant with my child!
I'm happy!
I'm happy! Understand?
How can you impregnate your enemy's woman with your child?
Aren't you afraid of the hidden danger in the future?
Shut up!
She's not the enemy's woman. She's my woman!
She only belongs to me!
You're deceiving yourself!
She came for Meng Qi You
She doesn't even love you!
It's fine if she doesn't love me
l will do everything within my power
to make her fall in love with me.
If l had known earlier that you love beauty
before country,
l wouldn't have helped you back then!
Why did l go through so much misery and hardship?
Everyday, l devoted my life to making deadly poisons
Epilepsy drug, Nian Nu Jiao
Peacock gall, Red-crowned crane
Every one of these poisons is a result of my sacrifice and devotion!
l almost died from making and testing these poisons
What was my purpose?
It was all for you!
My imperial brother
My only relative in the world
Now, because of that woman...
I've lost my hope in you
