Take a break. Have a rest now.
Take a break.
We'll arrive at the Lu Residence when we get over that hill.
My father's a very nice man so I'm sure you'll get along very well.
Like Father, like daughter.
- You must be very exhausted. - I'm not!
Look at you. You're always so thoughtful, you never put yourself first.
You haven't slept well for days.
My father told me, 'Helping others is the origin of happiness.'
The most important matter is for you to recover as soon as possible.
You are such an obedient and thoughtful child.
I wonder who will be fortunate enough to marry you.
If Hai Tian can marry someone like you, I'll be able to rest in peace when I die.
We are currently at war so we need to recruit soldiers and people for menial work.
You are people of Chen State so you should rightfully serve this nation.
Men! Take them away!
How could you do this to us?
My child!
You...
- How dare you plot against me! I'll kill you! - Your Majesty!
Look! This is what happens if you plot against me!
I'll kill you! I'll whip you to death!
Your Majesty...
I'll kill you! I'll whip you to death!
Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding! Please spare my life!
- Your Majesty. - Young Master, please save me!
His Majesty is going to kill me!
Your Majesty, what is the matter?
Luo Feng, step aside.
I am going to kill this slave today!
Your Majesty, you must have a valid reason to kill someone.
If you just kill someone as you will, people will feel disheartened.
I definitely have a valid reason to kill him.
I caught him red-handed.
I saw him dope my food.
He's trying to poison me!
Your Majesty, you have wronged me! I didn't!
Luo Feng, he tried to poison me!
He tried to poison me!
Your Majesty, how could I dare to poison you?
You wouldn't take your medicine so I added it to your soup.
That is to help you sleep better.
You're still trying to make excuses!
Are you sure the food isn't poisoned?
Luo Feng!
Your Majesty, look! I am all right.
Now I can prove the Grand Scribe didn't lie.
Your Majesty, please calm down.
I've already told you I won't take medication.
But you won't listen!
Here, get up.
Young Master, why did you drink that soup?
Aren't you afraid I might have poisoned it?
I believed in you because I could tell from your eyes that you're not lying.
You're the only one in this world who would believe in me, thank you.
You're welcome.
I'll take my leave.
Wait a minute.
What orders do you have for me, Grand Scribe?
I was beaten and can't move very well.
Could you escort me to my place?
Sure, here.
Your scent reminds me of that night.
I don't know you so I have no idea what you are talking about.
Stop!
Do you need to get so close while dancing?
Come over here.
Take a seat.
Young Master, you've been dancing all day.
Have some fruit.
Thank you, Grand Scribe.
Look at you. You're sweating.
Let me wipe it off.
I can do that on my own.
Show me how you dance.
Stop.
A bit lower.
Raise this arm a bit higher.
You're incorrigible.
You never learn from your lessons.
Hurry up!
Hurry! Why are you so slow?
Move faster!
Hurry!
- Trying not to work? You're dead meat! - Don't hit him!
Please don't hit him! My uncle isn't feeling well!
I'll do his work for him.
Watch it! If work is delayed again, I won't hesitate to whip him!
Yes! I will remember that!
Are you all right? Get up.
- Hurry up! - Are you all right?
Hurry! Hold on tight!
I'm sorry. It's all my fault.
I've gotten you into trouble again.
Uncle, please don't say that.
It's all right. We will get through this together.
Trust me. This will be over soon.
What are you doing dilly-dallying around?
Hurry up! You! Hurry up!
General Zhang Ji's orders!
Yun army has attacked so get ready to retreat thirty miles away from here!
- Yes! - Yes!
- Hurry! We are retreating! - Yun Kuang? Is it really you?
Catch up! Hurry!
Catch up!
The ones at the back! Catch up with them!
Hurry up! Move along!
This is bad... The Yun army is here!
Hide! Hurry!
Squat down!
Yun Kuang!
I'll kill you if you move! Squat down!
Yun Kuang, I'm here.
What's the matter, Yun Kuang?
Why have you stopped?
I seem to hear someone calling out for me.
No, I didn't hear anything.
I didn't either but I can feel it.
It could be your imagination.
It's getting dark so we'd better keep going.
Where's the Emperor? I want to know why he isn't sending in troops?
The Emperor is incompetent and refused to send in troops due to his own interest.
As a result, old General Yun died for it.
We hereby present you his head as a token.
Please accept it.
Rebellious and undutiful subjects are not to be tolerated by heavens or earth!
Sires, Yun army is the army of Xue State!
We will definitely abide by the Emperor's orders.
We won't bear a grudge against him.
This rebellious subject dared to kill the Emperor!
The Yun army can't spare him!
Now that the Emperor of Xue State is dead
we will need a leader to guide us along the way.
Who is the most suitable leader in your opinion?
General Yun will have my vote.
His Majesty used to say he was going to make General Yun our Emperor.
General Yun is our Warlord!
- Isn't that so? - Yes!
Good!
Our greetings to the Warlord of Xue State!
All right! From this day forth, I am the Warlord of Xue State!
Le Er, I am now an Emperor.
How I wish to share this moment with you.
But where are you now?
Do you miss me like I miss you?
Wait for me. I'll get you the nation.
- Are you all right, General? - Retreat!
Charge!
Your Majesty.
Zhao... Zhao Sheng!
What are you doing, Zhao Sheng!
I have sought audience with you for six hours.
I want to know why you won't see me.
I...
His Majesty is enjoying the dancing and doesn't have time for you.
My question is directed at His Majesty not you!
Please answer my question, Your Majesty!
Zhao Sheng, this is outrageous!
Luo Feng!
Steward Zhao, have some grapes.
You are in charge of everything in the palace.
So I didn't think there's anything important you needed me for.
I was going to grant your audience with me after the dance performance.
How dare you!
Steward Zhao, I ensure you I won't ever do that again.
Please tell me what you have to say.
We have suffered greatly from the previous battle.
We are about to be wiped out by Yun Kuang!
You've always made the call for everything in the palace and the court.
Your opinions are mine as well. I'll leave it to you to decide.
I'd like to ask the Huns for their army.
But we would seem insincere if we go to them so abruptly.
So I came up with the idea to offer alliance by marriage.
An alliance by marriage?
But I have neither a sister nor a daughter.
How would that work?
Anyone in the palace will do.
We can carry on with our plan as long as Your Majesty adopts her as your sister.
Sure! I will make an imperial decree right away!
Your Majesty must pick the princess in person and appoint her.
Steward Zhao, don't go to such troubles.
Let's just let them draw a lottery. Whoever gets it, gets to be the princess.
- I will take my leave now. - Yes.
Your Majesty, this fox is too arrogant.
As long as the practice goes well
I'm sure we can kill him!
You are able to serve His Majesty because of the good karma from ancestors.
The one who draws the chosen lot
not only gets to be the princess, but also the Queen of the Huns.
It's a status of glory and honor!
Princess...
Greetings to the princess!
[Chang Le Court]
Yun Jiang is the palace maid who drew the chosen lot.
Steward Zhao, is this a joke?
She is not in her right mind!
I've seen her go crazy once.
No! You have to choose another one!
Yes!
Let's go.
Your Majesty, it was my fault I offended you last time.
I am not out of my mind.
Please don't listen to ill-rumored gossip.
I do not wished to be wronged.
If you don't believe me, you could test me.
Fine, I will test you.
What season are we in right now?
What is the biggest taboo in the palace?
And, how many people are there in this court now?
Your Majesty, it is now springtime.
The biggest taboo in the palace is to dress in white.
There are fifteen people in this court.
Steward Zhao, she's not crazy.
Lift your head so I can take a good look at you.
Looks quite all right.
I will entrust the mission of alliance by marriage to you.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I pretended to be crazy to avoid attention and jealousy
by making sure His Majesty wouldn't be in favor of me.
I never would I have thought I could leave the palace one day.
I am going to be the Queen of the Huns.
The skies outside must be gorgeous.
This matter concerns the life and death of Chen State and can't be treated lightly.
See if she is really crazy or if she is just pretending.
If she goes berserk when she panics, we will have to be careful.
Yes.
Princess.
What's the matter?
His Majesty said you've violated the law and wants to interrogate you.
Take her away!
- Come with us! - Violated the law? I didn't know...
We don't know either.
Arrest her!
- Come with us! - Let go of me! You're just maids!
How can you do this to me? I'm a princess!
- Let go of me! - Act fast! Don't hesitate!
She's crazy so nobody will believe her.
- What are you doing? - I'm not crazy!
- Young Master. - Young Master.
She is a girl. How can she be treated like this?
- His Majesty said... - Nonsense!
His Majesty and I were just discussing Yun Jiang's dowry.
Why would he send anyone to arrest her?
- You're dismissed. - Yes.
Here.
Are you all right?
- You may return to your court. - Yes.
Go back to your court.
Your Highness, aren't you going to bed yet?
I'm not sleepy.
Do you think there's any way I can avoid marrying the Huns?
There used to be a way out, but not anymore.
What do you mean?
When you were crazy, they'd be too ashamed to have you married.
But now that you are sane and crowned as the princess, you are the best choice.
What if I choose to be insane?
You can't. You don't look insane at all now.
You never know.
His Majesty has an imperial decree for you.
Your Highness, please come out to receive it.
Who is a princess? I am now a Queen!
What is the matter, Princess?
Please stop addressing me as the princess.
I've already told you I'm a Queen.
Master Zhao said so himself!
That's true but you will have to wait until you get to the Huns to be Queen.
You are still a princess here.
No! I am a Queen already!
Address me as the Queen! Do it now!
Go away! Get lost!
I am now the Queen!
- Let's notify Master Zhao! - Yes!
I am now the Queen!
I'm going to be a Queen!
Steward Zhao, has this woman gone mad?
The Huns won't want a crazy woman!
Let's pick another one from the concubines!
We mustn't!
We have already sent her portrait to the Huns.
If we choose a different one
we will appear to be insincere and can't ask them for their army.
The Huns could become our enemy.
Steward Zhao, what should we do?
What... What should we do about this?
Should we offer alliance by marriage when she's cured of insanity?
That's impossible.
In my opinion, we do have to choose another.
But she has to be breathtakingly stunning and second to none.
Otherwise we can't explain to the Huns why we have chosen another for them.
In my opinion, there is only one person worthy of such praise and beauty.
That's the Grand Scribe.
If the Huns don't mind catamites, I could offer my favorite to them.
Your Majesty, we are in court right now so please show yourself some respect.
Right... Self-respect...
Who said we don't have one who is breathtakingly stunning?
I've found one for Your Majesty.
Who is that?
Gorgeous! How remarkable!
Steward Zhao, this is my favorite dancer.
Could you reserve her for me...
Your Majesty, please part with your favorite for the sake of the country.
Please part with your favorite!
Fine, I will. I will.
You may all do as you wish.
Steward Zhao, you may do as you wish.
Dismiss the morning audience?
- Dismissed! - We will take our leave!
I will also take my leave now.
Please take back your order, Your Majesty!
You knew I was going to use her against Zhao Sheng!
And yet you brought her out! What are you after?
I was trying to be helpful.
Armies of Xue State are almost at our doorstep, so how could we win without the Huns?
Don't we have a lot of other women in here?
But none can be compared to her.
I am destined to be empowered by Zhao Sheng.
Your Majesty, don't worry. I can do the same dance.
Leave the assassination of Zhao Sheng to me.
Your Majesty!
I dreamt about this so many times.
I never thought the dream could come true.
I am going to be married off.
- Why do I still have to rehearse the dance? - Shush.
Isn't it a waste to squabble such a beautiful night away?
I can't forget that day.
That was but a dream.
Luo Feng, isn't this much better?
You're the Young Master and I am going to be the Princess of alliance by marriage.
We will go our separate ways.
Why won't you just let me off?
Because I am in love with you.
Stop harassing me.
But why? Wait a minute!
Are you sure you want to put an end to this?
Yes.
Fine. Come with me somewhere.
I'll promise to stop harassing you if you come with me.
What place is that?
You'll know when you get there.
Haven't you wanted to be the best of the best?
I am now the Young Master of Chen State and the only heir to the throne.
Am I inferior to the King of the Huns?
There is a lot that I want.
But I would never abandon my dignity in exchange for it.
If you want me to bow to you in exchange for status and luxury
so you can look down on me forever, I'd rather give all that up.
How do you know I'll look down on you?
I don't.
I am in pursuit of an easy life.
Unless I am sure of the outcome, I won't bet my life on it.
I'll never forget the day when I took you to the inn from the streets.
A voice inside me said, 'She's the one.'
'She's the one you're destined to love for life.'
Let bygones be bygones.
No.
I never will.
What are these?
Take them down and see for yourself.
Once I got back to Lin Yang, I had this house built right away.
I sat here and waited everyday.
I imagined you would show up one day
and tell me you would never leave me again.
But you never showed up.
All I could do was to write the words I wanted to say to you.
Today is the 81st day.
There are eighty planks of bamboo here.
Miao Ge.
I promise you will never have to endure anymore hardships.
I promise you will never have to fight with others over anything.
Will you please come back to me?
Miao Ge.
Do you know how much I missed you?
I miss you so much it's driving me crazy.
Why is God doing this to me?
Why has he sent you to me then taken you away from me again?
Yu Miao Ge, you're a vain and materialistic woman.
Why have you let me down?
Do you know my heart is torn into shreds?
I'm in pain. It hurts so much that I can't breathe.
I love you.
You must have felt so touched last night.
You must have thought you needed to love me with all your heart
in order to repay my love for you.
But I don't want that anymore.
I used up all my love for you the moment you abandoned me.
I just wanted you to have a taste of your own medicine.
Did you cry?
If you did, then I must have acted pretty well last night.
I will keep my promise and stay away from you.
