Everyone's having lunch.
Why are you out here daydreaming?
Whenever I run into problems I like to sit out here alone.
I'll see if I can figure out a solution.
Why don't you tell me about your problem so I can help you figure something out?
Those men have been with me for quite some time.
It's bad enough they aren't eating well or staying warm.
And yet we are about to start the revolution soon.
I feel bad I can't feed them properly and give them something warm to wear.
I feel really guilty about it.
I've thought about this problem as well.
We could weave grass and cotton together.
Then stuff it into clothes and that will keep people warm.
Although it won't hold for long, winter is almost over anyway.
As long as you can take down this city
all these problems will go away.
As for food, that is indeed an issue.
You did stock up quite a lot of food
but it is mostly sorghum and wheat.
There isn't much to add to the seasoning.
Hey! Where are you off to?
I have an idea! Give me some time.
I might be able to surprise you.
Don't try to steal a bite.
Will this really work?
Plums are really sour. They might make the food taste even worse.
It will work, don't worry!
The sour bit is on the skin so I'll remove it and then blanch it in boiling water.
It'll be fine after that!
What else is in there?
Is it really that awful?
It tastes really good.
Why did you make that face if it tastes so good?
- Give it back to me. - I won't.
- I won't! - Give it back to me!
Come over here!
Don't run!
Come over here!
The meal will be ready soon. I'm going out.
How do you like it? Miss Lu made it today.
- It's not bad. - Isn't it?
Miss Lu, you are such a wonder!
You're able to make a great dish with just some grains and plums.
I thank you greatly!
Really?
If everyone likes it, I'll make the rest into rice balls.
It will be easier for you to carry while we are on our journey.
Yes! Thank you, Miss Lu. Thank you.
Thank you!
Uncle, please have some food.
Don't you ever dare think I'll eat what a jinx made for me!
Fine, you don't have to.
But let me tell you something.
Your son spent a lot of time and effort to gather these ingredients.
This is the last bowl left.
- Looks like the jinx get the last bite! - Wait a minute.
I'll never let you get it your way.
It's best you starve to death.
Why are you avoiding me?
- I'm not. - You are.
I'm not. I'm just thinking about you going into battle soon.
I'm a bit upset about it.
Really?
Of course. We're friends.
Then can you promise me something?
What is it?
If I don't make it home, could you take care of my father?
Wars are unpredictable.
I don't trust anyone but you.
Can you promise me that?
Thank you. I promise you I'll take good care of myself.
Because I have an important matter I haven't told you about.
What is it?
I'll tell you about it when I make it home alive.
I still have a lot of things to prepare, so I'd better go now.
Take good care of yourself.
If anyone dares bully you, they are our enemies.
Everyone here will settle the score for you.
- Am I right? - Yes!
Take care.
The same to you.
Hai Tian!
Father.
I was unfilial and let you down many times.
If I can at least come home with a victory
I will make it up to you.
But if I should fail...
I can only repay your kindness in the next life.
Hai Tian, you are out to overthrow the tyrant.
I'm sure the gods will be on your side.
Do you know what?
This is what I've always wanted you to do.
I can't be of much help, but an army needs a name.
We are all from Kou County.
So I made you a flag.
I hope you can lead our men to victory.
And then make a name for yourself.
Make our ancestors of the Hai Family proud.
And make everyone at home proud of you.
Master Kou! Long live Master Kou!
Let's go!
Come on! Come on over!
Come on!
Zhang Ji!
Uncle!
Uncle, hang in there!
I'll take you back to the camp immediately!
No, hand me my sword. Give me my sword.
Uncle.
Listen to my order.
Kneel!
The Yun army will now be in your hands.
Men have to die eventually.
You don't have to be upset.
If you are filial to me, win me a nation!
I know you are capable of that! You are!
Promise me!
I will abide by your order!
Yun Kuang, we have no time to grieve.
The silly Xue Emperor was nothing but a shepherd if it hadn't been for my uncle.
He had so many excuses when we asked for reinforcements.
If I make it home alive, I'll slay him!
The pressing matter right now is to solve the issues at hand.
What plans do you have, Mister Qian?
The enemy is stronger than us at the moment.
Although Zhang Ji can't defeat us yet...
The Yun army... Our problem lies with the morale of the Yun army.
Make it or break it.
Exactly! Make it or break it!
With that spirit, I'm sure everyone in the Yun army can take on ten men!
Pass down the orders! Destroy all the cooking utensils and boats!
We will fight Zhang Ji to the death tomorrow!
Do or die! Do or die!
Uncle, we will win this battle.
Have you heard Yun Kuang is leading his army here soon?
Yes! I've heard about that as well.
But I don't know if that's true or not?
I'm sure it's true.
Sir, you said Yun Kuang is coming here. Is that really true?
Yes! Everyone said so!
Yun Kuang is such an incredible man!
He defeated Zhang Ji's army of 100,000 with 30,000!
The nation will soon be his!
That's bound to happen sooner or later.
Yun Kuang's good, Yun Kuang's great.
Everyone smiles when the Yun army's here!
Yun Kuang's good, Yun Kuang's great.
Yun Kuang's coming here soon! That's great!
I can see him soon again!
Yun Kuang, do you know how much I've missed you?
Uncle.
Uncle, it's time for your medication.
You're a vicious woman. How do I know you didn't poison the medication?
I'm telling you there's no way I'll let you poison me.
Uncle, it's all right that you're mad at me.
But you shouldn't make yourself sick.
The doctor said gastric problems can turn into chronic diseases.
If you don't cure yourself of them you could get terribly sick later.
Don't you want to see your son again?
Fine, I'll take the medication.
But not the one you got from the pharmacy.
In case you tampered with my medication, I want you to pick the herbs.
Go into the mountains and pick the herbs listed in the medical books.
I want to see you stew and brew it.
I'll only drink it once I see you've done nothing to it.
- This... - Look!
You aren't even willing to do such a small task.
Let alone to atone for your sins!
Only the ghosts will believe you!
I knew you are malicious and can't be trusted!
Hai Tian and the men are too dumb so they fell for your tricks!
Fine! I will go and gather the herbs.
Have a rest. I'm off to pick the herbs.
Don't try to slip away!
This dreadful weather!
I'm just about to finish a task and this weather is in the way!
Are you really sure Hai Tian's father lives in the mountains?
You'd better not make me take this trip for nothing!
Please rest assured, sire. I am very certain.
I'm sure I will be promoted three ranks higher this time!
Uncle.
Don't you have gastric pains?
Why are you eating here?
- You... - Yes, I am very healthy.
I was out to make a fool out of you! What can you do about it?
You are so mean!
I almost fell down the cliff picking these herbs for you.
So what?
The gods must be sleeping on their job because you didn't fall to your death!
You'd better come with me now!
Go with you? What do you want?
The guards know you are here and they are coming to get you.
You're lying! I don't believe you!
Sire, he could be around here.
Hurry up! Get inside!
Where is he?
The pot is still hot so he couldn't have run far!
- Go after him! - Hurry!
Listen up! I want you to search this place inch by inch!
- I don't believe we can't find him! - Yes!
Search carefully!
Who is there?
Promise me you will not come out of hiding no matter what happens.
Go and have a look! Hurry!
- Who are you? - My name is Xiao Hua.
Speak up! Where is Hai Tian's father?
- What... Tian? - You don't know him?
I'll beat you until you remember!
- Speak up! - I don't know!
- Do you know where he is? - I don't know!
Do you know where he is?
Sire, it seems she really doesn't know anything.
You will kill her if you keep beating her.
Let's keep on searching.
If we don't find Hai Tian's father today, none of you are going to go to bed!
Hurry up!
You...
How are you?
I'm all right.
Here, get up.
Uncle, uncle...
Get up. Get up quickly.
Are you all right, Uncle?
- My uncle's sick, could you carry him? - No! No, I can't.
Sir, my uncle is sick, could you carry him?
- Please, I am begging you. - Don't ask me to help.
Young lady, has he been weak and lost his appetite? Is he feverish?
Yes, how do you know?
That is the plague and it is contagious.
No one is going to help you.
- So what should I do? - It's best you leave him here.
You should escape from here. If you catch it, you might die as well.
- Are you all right? - Leave me here, my child.
Leave without me.
I caught the plague. Aren't you scared?
I've promised Hai Tian I won't abandon you.
Uncle! Are you all right?
What are you trying to do?
It's best that I die.
- I'll only become your burden if I'm alive. - No, you can't die!
It took so much effort to save you from death itself.
How could you want to take your own life?
- You're letting me down by doing so! - Why are you so nice to me?
I've been so mean to you. Don't you hate me?
I was the reason your family was killed, so I can understand your feelings.
You shouldn't be blamed for that.
I was just really frustrated but I can't take it out on anyone.
So I took it out on you.
My child, thank you for not bearing a grudge and coming to my rescue.
I feel so ashamed!
All right now, don't be so hard on yourself.
I promised Hai Tian I'd take care of you.
So please take care of yourself and don't give up so easily.
Do this for me, will you?
Let me help you up.
Miao Ge!
Wake up!
Yun Jiang, what is this about? You scared me.
Don't you know today's the market day in the palace?
We'll get to see His Majesty.
What's market day?
We all banned from leaving the palace.
The deceased Concubine Hu Ji came up with the idea of market day.
We have market day in the palace.
We can sell our embroidery and weaving at the market.
We'll have a chance to meet His Majesty.
My baby Crown Prince, you can finally meet His Majesty.
Hurry! Let's go!
Hurry up!
- We're selling red beans! - We're selling green beans!
Yun Jiang, are you still selling red and green beans?
And you've been pregnant with that baby for about ten years now.
Why isn't the child born yet?
Could it be a freak?
Insolent maids! How dare you mock the Crown Prince?
Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?
Crown Prince? A pillow is a Crown Prince?
Then my quilt is the Emperor!
Yun Jiang, don't stoop to their level.
They are just jealous of you.
Miao Ge, you're right.
They are jealous of me.
I have only been in the palace for ten years
but I have already met His Majesty once.
Some of them have been here all their lives and they have never met His Majesty.
They are just jealous of me.
Miao Ge, do you think His Majesty will show up today?
He will. I'm sure he will.
That's great.
Why didn't you bring anything with you?
- What are you selling? - You'll know in a bit.
His Majesty arrives!
I just entered the palace recently.
So I have nothing to sell except my talent.
Please excuse my poor dancing.
Great!
Wonderful!
Your Majesty! I am carrying your child!
- What an outrageous crazy woman! - Your Majesty! I am carrying your child!
- Guards! Take her away! - Please take me with you!
Your Majesty! I am carrying your child!
Whose child are you carrying?
- Take her away! - Please take me with you!
Your Majesty!
What is this about, Steward Zhao?
There's no need to panic, Your Majesty.
It's all right, Your Majesty. Should I take you fishing tomorrow?
Fishing's great.
What a damper! Let's return to the palace!
His Majesty is returning to the palace!
I'm bound to attract His Majesty's attention.
But what should I do if His Majesty doesn't like me?
You'd better be more careful in the future or I'll feed you to the dogs the next time!
Yun Jiang! Are you all right?
Miao Ge, I finally met His Majesty.
He was very kind to me.
- He likes the Crown Prince that I bore him. - All right now.
Don't say anything anymore. I'll help you get into bed.
Where are my red and green beans?
You are already so badly hurt! Why would you care about those beans?
Once I go through them a hundred thousand times
I can finally make it to the top.
Now I've already...
I just need to go through the beans for another eighty thousand times!
Just another eighty thousand times and I can make it to the top!
Go and search for my beans! Hurry!
All right! I'll do that right away!
196, 197...
198, 199, 200...
Two hundred and one...
I'd rather take a risk than end up like her.
Death is better than that.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Luo Feng greets Your Majesty.
Luo Feng, I'm so glad you're here.
Grand Scribe, are you sure you haven't been followed?
Your Majesty, I am sure.
Great.
Uncle, what is so urgent that you summoned me here?
Luo Feng, someone wants to kill me.
Who dares to do such a thing?
- Zhao Sheng. - Him?
He is but a eunuch.
Keep it down. His spies are everywhere.
We'll all be dead if he learns about this.
Is he really capable of such things?
Really! He really is!
Luo Feng, we are blood relatives who grew up together.
You address me as your uncle but you are more like a brother to me.
- Can I trust you? - Of course.
Good.
Can you... Can you help me?
Your Majesty, you mean?
I want to kill him before he kills me.
Are you up for it?
- No! The day has come! - Your Majesty!
- It's all right! - Zhao Sheng is here to kill me!
- It's all right!
Listen, your Majesty. Someone's fallen into the water.
- No one's here to kill you. - No, Zhao Sheng's here to kill me!
No, it isn't. I'm here to protect you. You're fine.
It's all right.
Luo Feng!
Luo Feng, I'll entrust this task to you.
Remember, you must succeed!
Succeed without fail!
Yes!
Your Majesty, look! A fish is hooked.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, are you all right?
- He's here to kill me... - Don't be scared. It's all right.
It's all right.
Did Zhao Sheng send you here?
What have you overheard?
Why were you in the water?
I...
I just wanted to attract Your Majesty's attention
in hope of gaining your favor.
This does seem like you.
Do you know each other, Young Master?
No, we don't.
If you don't, then why does Young Master have such an insight?
Aren't all women in the palace the same?
Don't they all want to be favored?
You're right.
Your Majesty, what should we do with her?
Our secret can't be known to others.
So there is just one solution... Kill her!
- Guards! - Your Majesty, please spare me!
- Wait a minute!
Your Majesty, I have a better idea.
I'm not sure if you'd like to hear about it.
A better idea? Speak up, Luo Feng.
If you suspect this woman was sent to assassinate you
what do you think Zhao Sheng would do if we sent her to assassinate him?
He will die with a grievance.
All right. So how should we go about our plan?
We'll send her to train in dancing.
Then His Majesty can pretend to be infatuated by her singing and dancing.
When Zhao Sheng lets his guard down, we'll invite him in for a performance.
Then we'll have this woman kill Zhao Sheng with a stroke of the sword.
Great!
I can finally have my revenge this time.
But what if she lets slip of our plan while she is still in training?
Don't worry. I have the golden cage that the former Emperor left behind.
Even the a man with supernatural abilities can't escape from it.
Let alone a frail woman like her.
Luo Feng, I will leave this woman in your hands.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Is this the life you seek?
I don't know you and my life has nothing to do with you either.
You don't know me?
Say you don't know me again.
I am but a lowly palace maid.
How would I get to know a noble master like you?
My identity means nothing.
It is the person that matters.
It doesn't matter who Luo Feng is or what his true identity is
he is willing to hunt in the woods, sell weapons in markets
and be a servant in people's homes for Miao Ge.
He will have no regrets even if he is torn to pieces by the wolves.
Isn't that good enough for you?
What a lovely story.
But the man in the story is such a fool.
'Every man for himself and the devil takes the hindmost.'
If a man is always so considerate
he's not worthy of any sympathy when he dies.
Because no one would sympathize with a fool.
A fool?
A fool!
You're right! I am a fool!
What about you? You're no better than I am!
Who are you to tell me that?
Life is unpredictable, so how would you know?
Didn't you move your way up from a servant to a noble young master?
Why can't I be the same?
As long as the Emperor and I are both here, I will make him see the good in me.
You're hopeless!
If I'd known, I would have let you get killed just now.
Even if I die, I am still the Emperor's woman.
You have nothing to do with me.
I think that you'll look great in this.
Wear it!
Wear it.
This belongs to His Majesty.
I am sure you won't ever go against His Majesty's orders, will you?
Of course not.
I still have a chance.
I'm sure I still have a chance.
