Epi. 20
I've asked the doctor
He said it's not reaching two months yet
No wonder she is not willing to see me
no matter how many times I call her
After being together with me
She even slept with Yuwen Yu
My lord, you don't have to be upset
for an immoral woman like her
Sorry for my words
I just think you don't deserve it
You almost die because of her
and she didn't even want to thank you
Get lost
All get lost
Your Highness
Your Highness, are you alright?
I'm fine
I'm fine What happened to you
Back off
Are you alright? I'm fine
Bore
Fresh orange
Try it quickly
You slipped because want to pick this for me?
Just accidentally slipped
But I'm fine
Aren't you pregnant?
Doctor said
You need to eat sour apricot
But now the spring just started
Where do we get sour apricot?
So I recall we have an orange tree
at the backyard of our palace
I've checked the medical book
A pregnant woman is allowed to eat orange
So I picked one for you
Eat it quickly
You're injured
Nevermind
It's not painful
It's fine
For our baby
Don't mention about this
I would even risk my life for it
Try it quickly
Bore, I'm sorry
to make you worry
It's all my fault
But I promise you
I will take care of myself after this
Did it move or kick you for these few days?
Just more than a month
It's still early to feel any movement
Right, just more than a month
I'm so excited for these two days
When I know this is our kid
Yesterday I didn't sleep for a whole night
because I was searching through books
to look for a name for our kid
Before this
I heard old people say
the name of a child
must be simple
So that it is easier to be raised up in the future
So I've decide
If it is a boy
We will call him Xian
If it is a girl, we'll call her Su
Of course
I prefer a boy
Try to think
A boy who has
the blood of Yuwen's and Dugu's family
So he will become a great person in the future
Of course
I like girl too
If it is a girl
She will be as pretty as you
I like it too
Bore
I think it is moving
Maybe you can't feel it
Let me listen
Your Highness
Actually no matter what is the name
you're going to give it
As long as you love it
Love it sincerely
Whatever it takes
What are you talking about?
This is our kid
How possible that I won't love it
Don't talk, let me hear
Seems there's movement
Chun Shi
Why I become weaker
after getting pregnant?
I will cry easily
I'm not like the one before
People say a mother will become stronger
Miss, you're not becoming any weaker
Then tell me why?
You're touched by the sincerity of His Highness
Miss
Both of us grew up together
To be honest
Other than Third Miss
You're the closest person to me
in this house
I hope you can take this advice from me
Since His Highness treats you so nice
You should spend the rest of your life with him
I used 'Dugu conquer the country' to advise you
because I want you to keep this baby
Actually to conquer the country
is not as important as meeting somebody you love
Make the best of a bad bargain
It's not bad to live your life like this after this
A tree wants to stop moving
but the wind is still blowing
How can it be?
Since you're having a baby
The you couldn't go out for at least two years
Only Old Master and His Highness
can help you to take care of the royal court
If we are not against His Majesty
According to his personality
He won't purposely do something to you
Third Miss always worries that
you will busy about the court's matters
and neglect the baby
Let me think about it again
Where is County Lord?
He said he has something to do
So he asked me to bring all the young masters and misses
to meet you
But…
Second Young Master, Third Young Master
Forth Miss and Fifth Miss are all at here
Just Eldest Young Master is not here
He is older than you
He heard that he needs to kowtow to you
So he just feels a bit awkward
But your sister used to
engage with him before
I guess
You've met him before, right?
Faster ask the kids to see me
Go quickly, greet her
Greetings, mother
Good kid
Come here
This is your present
Come here to play more often after this
Greetings, mother
Good kid
This is your present
Take it
Greetings, mother
Why is she like this?
This is Fifth Miss, right?
You really look like your mother
Let me see
You…
What happened?
Let me blow it for you
Are you alright?
Don't cry
Get a doctor quickly
Get a doctor quickly What happened?
Get a doctor quickly
Are you alright?
It's painful
What happened?
Why do you get scalded suddenly?
Dad
Madam used tea to scald me
She is so bad
She doesn't like me
Dear
It's nothing to do with me
Don't listen to her
You this silly girl
Are you confused because of getting scalded?
How can you say like that?
County Lord
Fifth Miss is still small
Don't listen to what she said
It's nothing to do with Madam
Fifth Miss can't hold the cup
that's why she get scalded
She was the one who
let Fifth Miss to hold the cup and didn't want to take it
Alright, it's fine
Fifth Miss is just six yeas old
She doesn't have enough strength
Dear
You must trust me
How could I do something like this to a kid?
This is nothing to do with me
Your maidservant called me a bastard yesterday
I heard it by myself
Brat, what did you say?
You…
County Lord
Enough
Stop talking
Here
Let the doctor to apply medicine first
Here, slowly
Relax
It will be fine after applying medicine
Done
The medicine is applied
Let me bring you outside to play
Dear
Just for awhile
Madam is right
This is just an accident
Since everybody has met each other
Then just go back
Alright
Dear
You can't blame me on this
Alright
I didn't blame you
People will be heedless sometimes
I was not heedless
Both of them worked together to frame me
Maybe you don't know that
Madam Feng is a smiling tiger
Today ago she brought the other concubines
to piss me off
Yesterday she forced me to conduct the concubine's ceremony
Dear
You must help me quickly
Are you done?
I've protected you
in front of them
Isn't tha enough?
I don't want you to protect me
I want you to prove that I am innocent
Innocent?
She is just a kid
Do you think she will come out an idea
and try to frame you?
If you were not concerning about you dignity
and didn't let a kid to kneel for such a long time
Would this happen?
Pity Madam Feng
She was trying to defend you in front of me
But you're not even being grateful
She was playing the tricks
Asking you to greet Madam
is playing the tricks?
Li Wei
I am your legal wife
How could you speak for a bitch?
Bitch?
My own daughter is a bitch to you?
Mantuo, don't forget why
I married you last time
Don't forget your mother
was just a femal entertainer
The mother of Madam Feng
is somebody with clean background
Which part of he is not comparable to you?
You're being unreasonable Madam
You scared me
Why you're upset alone at here?
Fifth Miss is fine now
She is still small
Those blisters look scary
Keep applying the medicine regularly
and she will be fine within half a month
Even if there are scars
I think they won't be obvious
We must use the best medicine
so that there will be no scars
I know
She is my daugther
and also my master
Why would I neglect her?
Madam is still young
and not too sensible
Sorry to make you feel wronged
Look at her
I guess she couldn't manage this family
You have to keep an eye
on the matters of harem after this
Yes
Just…
I want to tell you one more thing
Since Eldest Young Master came back earlier
He is being unhappy all the time
He doesn't have appetite to eat
Pity us
We just have a son
I feel sad to see it
County Lord
Don't neglect him
just because you just married a wife
Thanks for your reminder
Alright
I will ask him to accompany me to eat later
Yes
Then I've made a contribution
Will you reward me?
What do you want me to reward you?
Madam, stop
The main hall of outer yard is at the front
It's not a place for women
I can't even go to greet my husband?
Yes
You can't
This is the rule set by the late madam
Madam, don't put me in difficulties
Don't make a fuss about a casual remark
There's no such rule in capital
Which family don't allow their women to see their family members?
Don't you understand?
This is Longxi
Not your capital
Moreover
I stopped you for your own good
Why can't you understand?
Now County Lord doesn't want to see you
If you're chased out
You'll be more shameful
Stop right there
Where are you going?
Today is the birthday of Old Madam of Shi's family
County Lord said you're new to here
and don't know about the rules
So he asked me to go for you
Don't worry
I've been doing this along this
I won't embarrass our family
I've got to go first
Madam
He asked a little concubine
to meet guests for me?
I can't tolerate this anymore
Madam
Don't be upset
She is trying to make you angry
Or we go to find County Lord at study room later?
Don't be upset
He doesn't want to see me
but wants me go to look for him
He is bullying me
Nursing mother said
all the men are scumbags
If you don't try to give them the cold shoulder
They won't come to approach you
I want to go back to take a rest at my room
If somebody comes to look for me
Just tell him
my heart is sick
and I don't want to see anybody
Madam
County Lord
Our madam cried for a whole day
and she said she doesn't want to see anybody
Alright, stop talking, you better…
Mantuo
It's me
Open the door
What are you doing here?
You want to help them to bully me again?
Go away
I don't want to see you
Mantuo
Yesterday I was wrong
and blamed you wrongly
My words are too over
I'm coming to apologise to you
Open the door first, okay?
If you don't want me to be upset
Go to break a tree branch
and carry on your back
To show your apology
County Lord, where are you going?
County Lord
Madam
Why he just left like this?
Nursing mother said before
If my mother cried
Father will come to take a look at her
Madam
Don't you understand?
This is County Lord's house, not Dugu's house
County Lord has seen all kinds of women
It is useless to cry and pretend sick
in front of him
Madam
Slowly
Walk this way
Bore
I asked people to make you this hawthorn cake
It's good for pregnant woman
Try it
Your Highness
I afraid the smell of hawthorn since I was a kind
I don't dare to eat it
I'm sorry
I didn't know about it
But I will remember now
Your Highness
Hawthorn is cool-natured
You just had diarrhea few days ago
You don't eat it too
You really concern about me
Look , there's a fish
It's carp
People say carp indicates boy
It's a good sign
Come here quickly
Since we're here already
It's not hard to see a carp
Your Highness are thinking where to find good signs everday
Two days ago Your Highness saw magpies
and happy for a long time
Really?
Alright
Don't make fun of him
Recently I get tired easily
I feel like going to take a rest
Let's go back then
Let me help you
Let's go
All the fishes in the pond are dead
Your Highness
I'm feeling not well
and I need to go to washroom
What about like this
You go back home first
I will be back very quickly
Nevermind
I can go with you
Faster send His Highness back to home
Yes
Then I will wait you at home
It's less than 20 minutes after we left
and it became like this
There is spy in our house for sure
I'm wondering who wants to harm you
No
He doesn't want to harm me
He knows I don't eat hawthorn
He wants to poison His Highness
Supreme Commander
Other than him, no one else knows
what I eat and what I don't eat
Then…
Then I will strengthen the defence of our house
No need
I've been hiding from him for a long time
It's time to face him
Why are you looking for me?
Don't ask something you already know
Why you want to do this?
You're the one who ask something you already know
What's wrong with you?
Let Yuwen Yu go
Don't do this to him
Why should I?
Are you protecting him
because you're having his baby?
The woman I can't get
is married by him
And now even…
Give me a reason not to kill him
Are you crazy?
Since the day I pushed you away to him
I'm already crazy
Yuwen Hu
Listen to me carefully
This baby is yours
What are you saying?
Yes
I'm pregnant for three months
In order to cover this
I've bribed the imperial doctor
to shorthen the pregnancy months
If you don't believe this
You can ask somebody to check it
Was it the night
when we met once
and got this baby?
Is this our baby?
I swear
The father of this baby is you
Yuwen Hu
Of course I believe it
Of course I believe you
Hu
I know you want to kill Yuwen Yu
But you can't do that
He must stay alive
The baby in my belly
needs a father nominally
Why my kid needs somebody else
to become its father?
I arranged like this because I have my own reason
Do you know why
you're an Supreme Commander
but can't become the emperor?
It is because you're not the son
of the late emperor, Yuwen Tai
And your mother is from a low-class family
So our kid
has to be under the name of Yuwen Yu
By doing like this
He will have a noble identity
and he will be the first grandson
of the late emperor
So, Hu
You can't kill him
and you have to help him
to ascend the throne before our kid is born
So that after this
our kid will become the emperor in the future
When the time comes
and he grew up
I will tell him everything
And he will be filial to you
Do you still care about the throne?
This is your plan?
Are you willing to do this with me?
Yes
Of course
That's right
If our son can become the emperor
It's fine for me to become the emperor
seven or eight years later
Bore
This is a great plan
Bore
I'm really happy
Although I have a lot of children
But the baby in your belly
is the one I want for the most
Listening to the sound of the storm and falling flowers
Twirling for the whole life out of a sudden
Look back at the sceneries and I'm stilling waiting for you
It doesn't matter if loving you just a dream
I'm willing to spend the whole life with you
Wind stop blowing and cloud stop moving
Everything stops flourishing
Sister
How can you tell him like that?
Why not?
I was telling the truth
You know Yuwen Hu too
Nobody can stop him if he is getting crazy
In order to save the life of your brother-in-law
I had to make that move
But this is too…
But what?
Is there a better solution?
At first
You asked me to keep this baby
Since then
I need your help now
I've made a deal with Yuwen Hu
Within half a year
We must take down the throne of Yuwen Jue
But if we want to succeed
We must get the help from dad
You knew it too
Dad is a loyal person
So don't let him know
the background of this baby
Jialuo
I want you to go back
to find a right time and a right way
to tell dad what I'm going to do
And ask him don't help Yuwen Jue for this time
Sister
Do you really need to do this?
Yes
I must do it
Since I want to keep this baby
Then I need to arrange
the best future for him
Moreover this baby has the blood of
Dugu's and Yuwen's family
The blood of the two most noble families
Why can't I gamble on it?
But this is too risky
If this kid really becomes the emperor
and brother-in-law knows the truth
How is he going to handle it?
Yuwen Hu will tell the kid about his background
I can't bother too much now
Now this is the only way
to save your brother-in-law
What else we can do?
But... Enough
Do you think I'm not aware of the danger of doing this?
In this troubled times
There are too many intolerable cruelty and dangerous traps
If I don't put down the morality and etiquette
How do I become an empress?
How do I conquer the world with the name of Dugu?
Jialuo
I don't wish to see this kid
will become like you on the day
when you're be framed
but was powerless to fight back
I don't hope after this I will become like dad
Kneel in the snow
and beg for helps
But nobody could help you
I do this
not because of my child
It is for your brother-in-law
and our Dugu's family too
Alright
I get it
I will tell dad
Supreme Commander
This is made by the best phoenix silkworm
There is no uncut thread ends
I'm sure he will feel comfortable in it
The workmanship is delicate
The material is not bad
Good job
Reward him
Thanks, Supreme Commander
Ge Shu
Come here to take a look
at this little dragon robe
Is it nice?
Of course it is nice
But…
Straight to the point
I know you're very happy
But isn't it too rush
to make a decision
for an unborn baby?
Why it is rushing?
Aren't we plan this
for many years?
Before this we were stopped by Dugu Xin
This time his grandson will become the emperor
I don't believe he will stop it
Yuwen Jue is digging his own graveyard
He treats Zhao Gui as his confidant
and made Dugu Xin be at odds with him
Wait until the army travels back
We will simply accuse Zhao Gui working secretly with enemy
and we will get rid of him
Then Yuwen Jue will be standing alone
My Lord, you have a deep forethoughtful for sure
But I just worry
you're giving everything for little young master
In the end
You're helping other to succeed
You mean Yuwen Yu?
I just feel strange
If Ning Du Queen
already has this plan
Why she didn't infrom you
when she knew she is pregnant?
Instead she was trying to avoid you
for the last few months
You're starting to suspect Bore again?
I don't dare to
She is a woman in the end
It's normal to feel panic
when she is pregnant suddenly
But
She wants to use this
to keep Yuwen Yu alive
But do you think I'm carried away?
I promised her to let Yuwen Yu stay alive
But I didn't say I will not kill him forever
Dad
The antipyretics of sister was being changed
After investigating
It was done by the people sent by His Majesty
Nobody is pregnant in the harem
And His Majesty was very angry when he heard sister is pregnant
Because there is a rumour in capital
Saying if His Majesty doesn't have any son
and if sister is giving birth to a son
All the officers will advise His Majesty
to elect his nephew as the crown prince
Because of that
Sister decided to revolt
She wants me to tell you that
She is working together with Supreme Commander
So for this time
She hopes you won't protect His Majesty again
Jialuo
How about you?
What do you think?
I know
you're loyal to the country
But His Majesty…
Even this time is not for sister
In order to let Yong get his freedom
I would stand at sister's side too
Alright
Tell you sister
just do as what she wants
Dad
You agree?
Then I will go back to palace
Alright
Brother Yuwen
Last time you gave me this sword
because you hope I can assist His Majesty
But now I have to break my promise
Brother Yuwen
Just wait for me
No longer from now
I will be coming
to apologize to you by myself
Here
You all don't even know where is the queen?
This is how you all taking care of the queen?
Alright
I'm back already, right?
Look at you, you're so angry
I'm worrying about you
You're pregnant
You can't go out always
I know you're bored
But… But there's no difference
Don't worry
I'm completely fine
Chun Shi
You all go out first
Yes
Your Highness
I have something to tell you
Anything wrong about our kid?
No, don't worry
I want to tell you something
about the royal court
What?
Actually for these few days
I went out not because
I went to take a walk
I went to make a deal
with Great General at outside of capital
If we make an order
They will revolt
and force Yuwen Jue to abdicate
Bore
Don't you worry about this
I've planned everything already
I spread the rumours
to let Zhao Gui think that
the day when the army come back to capital
will be the day we stage a coup
That Zhao Gui will take a desperate action
by advising Yuwen Jue
to eliminate all os us
before the army come back
But he doesn't know that
the army is already outside
of the capital
and waiting for our order
If Zhao Gui makes a move
We will kill him by the name of getting rid of an evil minister
After that
We will force Yuwen Jue to abdicate slowly
You're pregnant now
Why suddenly think about this again?
I've planned this for a very long time ago
Last time
If my father didn't intervene
We would succeed
But now
My belly is getting bigger and bigger
If I don't arrange everything properly
and wait until I give birth
Everything will be delayed
You've mention it just now
Last time
Because the intervention of father-in-law
and our plan is failed
Then he will try to stop us for this time too
Don't worry
I've spoken to my dad
Last time Yuwen Jue was too cruel to Jialuo
So my dad was completely disappointed
This time
He will just sit back and watch this to happen
Father-in-law won't bother anymore?
This is not enough
There's Yuwen Hu too
The West Expedition Army is Yuwen Hu's
It's impossible for them to listen to our order
I've spoken to him too
Wait until you ascend the throne
He will become the Supreme Commander too
and have all the politic powers
And about how to take back
these politics power from his hands
We will think about it
after you become the emperor
You mean
Yuwen Hu agrees to work together with us?
Yes
Why?
Are you…?
You doubt me?
No, no
I'm not doubting you
I just…
I…
I was hiding this plan from you
because I don't want to see you
panicked like this
I tell you what
I always will be here
Don't be panic
Now
You need to calm down
and watch everything happen next
Just watch how Zhao Gui and Yuwen Hu
are getting caught in the end
That's it
Don't worry bout the deal
between Yuwen Hu and I
Since I'm your queen
I will always stand by your side
Bore
I trust you
And I know
you do this because of me
But try to think
We failed once before
After that failure
Our lives are not any worse, right?
Why must we take the throne
and do this kind of things?
Yes
We must
Do you forget
since I'm pregnant
Yuwen Jue keeps doing something
to the people around me
Rather than to be meat on somebody's chopping block
Why don't we strike first to gain the advantages?
Yu
For our kid
For the throne
We must place this bet
Or
You don't want our kid
to become the most noble person in the country?
Or you don’t want
to carry our kid
and sit on the dragon chair
to let him see our beautiful country
when he opens his his eyes?
Alright
I promise you
I will let you call the shots
Are General Lin and General Wu ready?
Yes
Zhao Gui is falling into our trap
I guess he is in the palace now
and reporting to His Majesty
If you're not feeling well
Then go back to take a rest at your room
I'm fine
I can take a rest at here
Why you seem anxious?
Because I'm worrying that
I can lie to Yu for this time
but I can't lie to him for a whole life
