Help. Help.
Don’t kill him.
This way.
Don’t let her run away.
Quick.
Quickly.
She is there. Hurry up.
Don’t come over.
If you come over,
I will kill myself.
No. No.
We won't go over.
Alright.
Are you intended to kidnap me to threaten my dad?
If I die,
my dad will take revenge.
But how are you going to reply your master?
Get out quickly.
Get out.
Don’t act recklessly.
We will leave. Don’t be implusive.
We will wait outside.
Yes.
This building can stand for at least half an hour.
Hopefully dad and sister see the smoke,
and they will know I'm here.
Gob blesses me.
Blessing me to overcome this time.
Gob blesses me.
My god.
It's on fire.
Quickly. Put out the fire.
Quickly. It's on fire.
Put out the fire.
Hurry up.
The fire is too strong. Let's go back.
Hurry up.
Where does this smoke come from?
Which place is burning?
It seems like it's imperial tutor's side mansion.
It's him?
He brought Jialuo away.
Master.
I have make proper arrangement.
Let's talk about this later.
We can't wait anymore.
Dugu Jialuo is in our hands.
She is at the side mansion of West Hill.
Jialuo?
Weren't you wondering how to let Dugu Xin to obey last time?
Dugu Jialo is his favorite daugther.
Her life is in our hands.
I don’t think Dugu Xin will dare to accept the position of prime minister.
Pardon?
You kidnapped Dugu Jialuo?
Who asked you to do so?
I'm doing this for the intention of sharing your burden.
Master.
Side mansion is on fire. Didn't you say last time…
Look what you have done.
Old master.
Jialuo is kidnapped.
Sister.
Jialuo.
Sister.
I'm here. Yong. Hurry up.
Put out the fire there.
Water. Water.
Here it is.
Jialuo. Jialuo.
Be careful. Sister.
I'm here.
Jialuo. I'm coming.
Be careful. Be careful.
Don’t pull me. It's useless to panic.
There must be a way.
Sister Bore.
I have an idea.
I don’t know whether it's work or not.
As long as we can rescue Jialuo,
anyway will help.
Help me.
Sister.
Jialuo. Be careful.
Sister is here. Don’t be afraid.
I will rescue you soon.
Why still stand there?
Come here to help.
Sister. Sister.
Jialuo. Jump to here.
Don’t worry. We will get you.
Jialuo. Don’t be fear.
Jump on this cloth.
Jialuo. Don’t be fear.
You jump down, and we will get you.
I'm not afraid.
Jialuo.
Be careful.
Don’t be afraid. Sister is here.
Jump quickly.
Jump.
We're here to get you.
Sister.
If anything happens,
please help me to take care of dad.
Don’t bullshit.
You must not die.
You must stay alive.
Jump down.
We will get you.
Jialuo.
Hurry up.
Go.
I will go to look for uncle Dugu.
Jia. I have told you many times.
You can do whatever you want.
But you can't hurt my family.
How dare you kidnap Jialuo.
So,
you want to kidnap her
in order to threaten my dad
not to accept the offer to be prime minister?
Or you want to kill her?
and then kill me,
and follow by my whole Dugu family?
Bore. Listen to me. Shut up.
From now on,
we're no longer friends.
I don’t know about today incident at all.
You…
Jialuo.
Stop your nonsense.
I want to bring back Jialuo immediately for medical attention.
If you dare to stop me,
I will cut you into pieces.
Instead of misunderstand,
I rather you cut me into pieces now.
Bore.
I swear with the name of my mother,
I really don’t know about today incident.
Imperial tutor is really bold.
How dare you target and hurt my family?
Thank Sir for your help.
Master.
Since you don’t care about relationship,
I won't be generous to you too.
I will definitely accept position of prime minister.
If imperial tutor has any strategy again,
just show out.
Bore.
Let's go.
Master.
Geshu
How do we settle this now?
Master.
I didn’t mean to commit suicide.
Because old madam instructed me to serve master forever.
But I have make a big mistake today.
I will use my eyes to apologize.
Since master forgives my mistake today,
I'm willing to serve master.
When master achieves your goal,
I will use my life to pay for my guilty.
Old master.
Young mistress.
What happened to young mistress? Give way quikcly.
Dad.
Hurry up. Mantuo.
Hurry up. Jialuo is injured.
Quickly go to bring doctor here.
Okay.
Go.
Dad and I are here.
You can go back first.
Stop.
What happened actually?
Why everyone of you knows about it,
but no one tell me what happened?
Do you still treat me as your master?
I don’t know also. Mistress.
I need to go to look for doctor.
Mistress. Mr Yang is here.
Mantuo.
Jialuo is alright.
It's just that her hand is fractured.
Her life is safe.
Brother Jian.
Mantuo.
Mantuo is just too worried and panic.
Jialuo is still so young.
What if she got a scar later?
It's okay.
Don’t worry.
Jialuo is a kind person. She will have good fortune.
How dare you kidnap Jialuo.
What?
You want to kidnap her
in order to threaten my dad
not to accept the offer to be prime minister?
Or you want to kill her?
and then kill me,
and follow by my whole Dugu family?
Bore. Listen to me. Shut up.
From now on,
we're no longer friends.
I have boiled some soups and brought here.
Master has ordered that
no outsider could disturb her.
Am I outsider?
Princess.
Bore.
Don’t be so cruel to me.
Bore.
Don’t be so cruel to me.
In the third year of emperor Xiao Min,
Dugu Xin was appointed as prime minister of Great Zhou.
At that time,
imperial court was raging like a storm.
Everyone thought that the monopoly power of Yuwen Hu was broken.
Dugu Xin and other senior officers took action against him officially.
Cat lover.
I will go out for a while.
I will come back to play with you later.
Be good here and wait for me.
Where do you want to go?
Your wound hasn't healed yet.
Still thinking to go out to play?
Sister.
I just hurt my hand,
not my legs.
I don’t want to go already.
Why not sister tells me something about imperial court?
I have taken few days to think about it.
Yuwen Hu kidnapped me
because he wanted to threaten dad not to be prime minister.
But why dad still insist to accept the job offer?
This incident has attracted so much of attention.
Although they have tried to cover up,
many officers knew about this incident.
If Dugu family didn’t state our position clearly,
how could dad lead generals and armies in future?
The most happiest person must be the emperor now.
Once dad becomes prime minister,
Yuwen Hu dares not overstepping again.
Then,
what about sister?
are you happy?
You don’t have to hide from me.
I have heard your conversation with Yuwen Hu on that day.
Since when did you…
It's adult's business.
You shouldn't asked so much.
I'm no longer a child.
I'm your sister.
Can't I ask you about my future brother-in-law's matter?
But sister,
isn't brother Yu always hang out with you?
Why do you get along with Yuwen Hu?
Isn't he a bad guy?
You're young. You may not understand.
Sometimes, a lady will fall in love with bad guy.
Then,
he has explained so much to you.
You still wanted to break up with him?
You will understand in future.
Dad.
How is Jialuo?
Her wrist was dislocated.
Her wound on her body has formed a scab.
I think after two more days,
she will be active as previous.
It's my mistake.
I thought three of you are safe in capital.
So that I didn’t pay much alert.
I didn’t expect Yuwen Hu would…
Dad.
I have investigated this case personally.
It was Yuwen Hu's subordinate personal decision.
Since you're now prime minister,
and taken the power as minister of Justice and minister of human resource
I think you better don’t force him too much.
Don’t you know he is wicked and dangerous?
We must prevent him from revenge.
If you know he is wicked and dangerous,
why do you want to entangle with him?
I saw both of your met up on that day.
I didn’t ask you,
this didn’t mean that I wouldn't go to investigate.
Bore.
You're the eldest daugther of Dugu family.
I have high expectation on you.
Why do you want to support him sneakly?
Why do you hide the truth from me?
Dad.
I do that for Dugu family.
Have you forgotten former emperor's prophecy "The Legend of Dugu"?
May be it's just a rumous to other people,
but when I visited palace when I was young,
I have heard from former emperor said that
the emperor star is still unclear.
"The Legend of Dugu" was the fortune tag that former emperor picked.
Since it was tag given to the son of god,
it's impossible that it was inaccurate.
So I believe that the world will belong to dugu family one day.
Shut up.
Politic issue isn't something that women can discuss.
Dad.
I know you want to avoid arousing suspicion.
So although you're in a high position,
you just assign low level positions to brothers.
Your intention is not to allow them to control the imperial court
But do you ever think that
five ethnic groups have entered the mainland for few hundred years.
In the chaotic time,
if you still follow the old rule traditionally,
we will go to the dead end finally.
Only that if we have the power and men,
we can assure Dugu family stay strong forever.
Dugu Bore.
I don’t care what are your arrangement to brother and sister,
But I have presentiment that
I will be the one who make the prophecy come true.
The former dynasty has empress Feng,
Qi has empress Lou,
why can't Great Zhou has empress Dugu?
So, you decided to form alliance with Yuwen Hu?
Yes.
Because he promises to give me a title of empress.
How dare you.
Dugu family is always loyal.
How can you have intention to rebel?
Dad is right.
I know I'm wrong.
From Jialuo's incident,
I found that Yuwen Hu is hard to control.
He is cruel and merciless.
His subordinate is self-assertive.
So I decide to give up.
But I won't forget about the prophecy,
"The Legend of Dugu".
You don’t have to worry.
I won't let you in dilemma.
I can marry Yuwen Yu.
His majesty has no son now.
I have investigated privately.
Imperial doctor said that
His majesty was drowning when he was young.
So, his body has been suffering from cold since then.
Most likely, he will not have any child in future.
At that time,
when young brother passes away, elder brother will inherite the throne.
I can become empress Dugu naturally.
Dad.
If so,
you won't reject, will you?
Let's go.
Mistress.
Mistress. Be slower.
As for the matter just now,
I didn’t hear anything.
It's good that you know what to do.
Leave now.
I want to stay alone.
Yes.
"The Legend of Dugu"? Dugu will conquer the world?
I have forgotten about this totally.
Who said that this prophecy will apply to you only?
Can't I be the one?
Are you sure you want to marry Yuwen Yu?
Yes.
He has a crush on me for long.
And His Majesty is happy to see this as well.
But do you really love him?
Isn't marriage an alliance of two families?
It is not much about love.
This is ridiculous.
Dugu is always faithful in love.
Although I was in the battlefiled for many years,
I'm not qualified to comment about your marriage.
But I feel that you should choose someone you love to marry.
Dad.
Don't tell me that you wish to see me marry Yuwen Hu.
I really love him.
But my mind tells me that we're impossible.
As for Yuwen Yu,
it's not important whether I love him or not.
It's more than enough as long as he loves me.
He promises me that
I can take control of everything in the mansion, once I marry him.
Although we may not have son in future,
he will not get concubine without my permission.
I will always remember how my mother left.
This is why I can't get along well with Mantuo.
Since Yuwen Yu takes initiative to give his promise
I'm quite happy.
It's me who disappoint your mom.
Dad.
Since you have decided fight against Yuwen Hu,
it will make sense if I marry to royal family as alliance.
But listen me once,
don’t fight with Yuwen Hu.
He is cruel and merciless.
Both parties will be hurt in the end.
Strong people will know to play integration and alliance strategies,
instead of fighting in war.
All these years,
you use your way to protect Dugu family.
I have grown up now,
please let me use my way to protect Dugu family.
Alright.
I will arrange Mantuo and Yang Jian's wedding as soon as possible.
So that if anything goes wrong at your side,
she will not get affected.
As for Jialuo,
I will also arrange it soon.
Dad.
From my point of view, Yuwen Yong is good to Jialuo.
He also comes to visit her.
He is not good.
He is weak and unhealthy.
He can't live long.
And,
a smart bird will hide its eggs to different nests.
I let one of my daugther marries Yuwen family.
I won’t let another daugther to entangle with Yuwen family again.
Remember.
Don’t let Jialuo go closer with him anymore.
I understand.
Imperial court has summoned your dad.
Why didn’t your dad come to imperial court?
If every general disobey order because of sickness,
what imperial court will become?
Imperial tutor. Please don’t be angry.
My dad…
No….
My father doesn’t pretend to sick.
I swear.
He wanted to come here.
But he drank too much on that day,
and fell down from bed accidentally.
No. No.
He fell down from horse.
So….
Alright.
To make report in imperial court,
you should present it properly.
Yang Jian.
You're so impolite.
Quickly apologize to His Majesty and leave here.
Your Majesty. I will take my leave first.
Stop.
I haven't finished my question.
Prime minister would like to protect your future son-in-law,
this is not wrong.
But this is related to military affair.
Isn't this not a proper way?
Imperial tutor is not totally right.
Summon is His Majesty's edict.
Whether should Yang Jian leave here,
it should also decide by His Majesty.
Exactly.
I think… Let His Majesty decide.
Alright.
May I ask Your Majesty.?
Chen Liu guards the Puban hub,
do you know how many armies he has
and what is the population of the hub?
How much tax receive in the past few years?
How many times did Qi attacked this place?
Your Majesty.
Could you please tell all of us in public?
Since Your Majesty knows nothing,
we can share the burden as officers.
From my point of view,
Puban is just 500km away from capital.
If Yang Zhong can't rush back because he is old and sick,
he shouldn't guard there anymore.
It's better to return back the military power to imperial court.
Imperial court will naturally let him retire with honor.
This can not be.
Why does imperial tutor so aggressive today?
Why does imperial tutor speak overbearing today?
He knows Chen Liu and Dugu Xin's relationship clearly.
Imperial tutor, please mind your words.
Generals guard various states on behalf of imperial court.
If someone falls sick
but he is considered as not loyal to imperial court,
and being dismissed and take back the power,
Isn't this lossing the heart of all generals and armies?
In the long run,
no one is willing to contribute to the country.
What a good say.
If all generals follow Yang Zhong's doing,
ignore His Majesty's order
and don’t attend meeting in imperial court by giving various excuses,
how do we keep the discipline?
Could prime minister assure they will be loyal to country
and will never betray?
Otherwise,
I will definitely remove Yang Zhou's military power.
No. No.
Don't grab our position….
Master Yang.
Imperial tutor.
Although Yang Jian is just duke's son.
he also carries a title of imperial guard.
It's impolite to treaten him till his ill relapses.
Well.
If you want to force him intentionally,
I can make a swear in front of all officers.
Every generals are same as me.
We're buddies who followed former emperor to fight in battlefield.
I can use my job title and my life to swear.
They will not have intention to rebel.
Your Majesty.
Yang Jian is sick.
As his uncle,
I shouldn't ignore this.
Please allow me to take leave
so that I can send Yang Jian for medical attention.
Someone comes here.
Quickly carry Master Yang.
Come.
Stop. Hurry up.
Go quickly.
Come.
Be slower.
Go to bring doctor here.
Yes. Old master.
Uncle.
My good boy.
Luckily you have a good idea in critical moment.
It's a good show.
But, you have a hard time.
Uncle. Why are you so formal to me?
Don’t treat me as outsider.
After all, it is not my first day to pretend as an useless person.
As for you,
in order to protect my father,
you have make such as swear.
I know other generals very well.
Although they're not happy with Yuwen Hu,
I strongly believe they won't betray our country.
As long as we can stop Yuwen Hu to take back all generals' power,
he won’t be able to play monopoly power in imperial court.
So, it is merely a swear.
This is no big deal.
Brother Yang.
Second mistress. Be slower.
Dad. Mantuo.
I heard that brother Yang….
What happened to him?
Don’t worry.
Your brother Yang is fine.
He just got shocked.
I will go to see him.
Alright.
Brother Jian.
When I heard about this news,
my heart was almost broken.
Don’t worry.
It's nothing.
Don’t worry.
You're taken good care of me.
I will get well soon.
Young master.
What's matter?
Err….
The doctor is here.
This way please.
Be slower.
Come. Okay.
Dad.
Why does brother Jian injure suddenly?
He fell down from horse.
Don’t worry. Mantuo.
Your brother Jian is fine.
Mr Yang's blood supply is not sufficient.
His heart is weak.
So, he will be fainted if he has big fury and frustration
He needs to rest more to nurse his health.
Thank you. Doctor.
Why his heart has insufficient blood supply and weak?
Well. Mantuo.
Don’t worry.
What doctor said might be too serious.
If this is not serious,
why did he faint in the imperial court?
Old master.
But. Old master.
Too bad. Too bad.
What happened?
Imperial tutor heard that Mr Yang has serious ill.
He specially appoints imperial doctor to diagnose.
Pardon.
Stop him.
Don’t let him come in. Quickly.
No. No.
He came with edict.
Quickly go to receive the edict.
Mantuo.
Shy away quickly.
Hurry up.
Seem like he doesn’t believe me.
What if imperial doctor knows that I pretend sick?
I will find a way to stop him.
Boy. You continue to pretend sick.
Let's act according to circumstances.
This way please.
Old master.
Prime minister.
Master Geshu.
You're….
Imperial tutor is worried about Mr Yang.
He specially requests two imperial doctors to come here to diagnose.
Hope you can let us go in.
Brother Yang.
Don’t scare me.
Wake up.
Brother Yang.
It's hurt.
You're Geshu?
You're the one who sent people to kidnap me last time?
You this bad guy.
You still dare to come to my house?
Jialuo. You…
Don’t be rude.
Dad.
I don’t want to see him.
Chase him out, please.
Stop monkeying around.
Quickly let imperial doctor to check the pulse.
Reporting to prime minister.
Reporting to Master Geshu.
Master Yong's heart beat is disorder.
His heart is weak.
Seem like he was excessive frightened.
I see.
If so, Master Yang, please take care of your health.
Brother Yang.
Prime Minister.
I will go back to reply His Majesty.
This way please.
Brother Yang.
It's hot.
I was almost roasted by you.
You deserve it.
You…
What happened?
What a wicked and smart girl
Jianer.
I'm sorry.
It's alright.
We confirm Mr Yang was scared and caused to faint.
You may leave now. Yes.
Imperial tutor.
You believe now?
I know you want to take back the military power for the sake of country.
But you're just few years older than me.
You're not mature enough.
If I was not mature enough,
when uncle passed away in sudden,
I should have kill the person.
So that he wouldn’t speak so much of nonsense here.
What are you looking at?
Bullshit.
It's true.
I personnally heard that when old master was telling his subordinate.
Think about it,
if a man will faint because of scare,
how can mistress marry him?
How come?
Brother Jian.
Why do you get up?
It's alright.
I'm much better now.
Come.
Sit down and say.
Brother Jian.
We have not much time to catch up since you came.
Can you tell me what is your dream life?
I want to accompany you.
When we're free,
I can help you make up, read poem and sing song.
If you're willing,
you can go to hunting with me.
It will be good.
Do you ever think of your career and achievement?
My father is a general to protect the South.
I will inherite his career in future.
General is the highest ranking.
How do I get a higher position than this?
I heard that Uncle Yang has an intention to make himself as king.
Will you…
Who say that?
You…
It's painful.
I'm sorry.
Mantuo.
Never believe rumous.
This capital is full of people and gossips are common.
May be spy is inside this mansion too.
My dad is a loyal officer.
He won't betray.
There are no such thing about separation and accomplishments.
I just chit chat with you.
I go to check whether your soup is ready.
You take rest here.
Our madame is virtuous.
This marriage arranged by old master is wonderful.
Really?
So,
I must respect and love her for life.
But why I feel that she is not happy?
Which lady doesn’t want her boyfriend looks powerful?
But you said it this way.
Oh. Too bad.
I just know that lady prefers thoughful and considered man.
I forgot about this point.
But it doesn’t matter.
I will find a chance to explain to her later.
Mantuo.
You see. Do I quote him right?
Doesn't he has no desire to improve himself?
Mantuo.
Why do you keep quiet?
How can he not to improve himself?
Am I right?
I just want to tell you that you shouldn't marry a man like this.
Mantuo.
Let's look for another nobleman.
How can a man like this help me to achieve my dream to conquer the world?
Exactly.
Good girl.
Mom.
I just want to bring credit to you.
Why is this so difficult?
