Epi. 33
Mr Murong is always neutral.
If it isn't because of grabbing foods,
he won't take action to attack.
There weren't any crop failure in the past few years.
Autumn harvest is not yet start.
Why does he attack suddenly?
General Xu who guards Dengzhou is our man.
May be he feels something not right too.
Therefore, he send us a secret letter.
Must be something wrong here.
How does Mr Murong get siege vehicles?
I got it.
This must be Yuwen Hu's plot.
Dengzhou, Pingzhou that Murong attacked are all guarded by our Yang's family.
Father has been patroling in these areas lately.
As father's personality,
most likely he will send armies to rescue immediately.
At that time,
if he discloses some of our military secret,
old master may be killed in the batterfield at the worst,
or failed the battle.
Our Yang's military power will also be weaken to the half because of this.
To achieve his dream to be emperor,
he doesn’t care commoners at all.
Then what should we do now?
Xu used Yang's personal pigeon to pass us the message.
Its speed is one day faster than the one used by imperial court.
So, Yuwen Hu may feel that
we still don’t know about Dengzhou's military situation.
there must be some clues if he contacts the enemy in the boundary.
Without further delay,
let's go.
Where are we going?
Let's search Imperial Tutor's mansion at night secretly.
Imperial tutor's mansion is big.
Where should we look for?
Who is this?
Freeze.
Master.
Don’t bother about me.
Chase.
Go.
This way. Okay.
I go that sside. Okay.
Found anyone here?
There is no one here.
Let's go.
Who are you?
Why do you help us?
I'm Zhu Jingzong.
You're from Dugu's family?
I'm working in Compassion House as a carpenter
Young mistress assigned us to operate a wooden shop here.
I heard outside was noisy,
so I went out to have a look
and found you were here coincidentally.
Young master.
Sir. Are you okay?
I'm okay. Just a small wound.
I'm a carpenter, I always get hurt.
I have some medicine here.
It's poisoning.
Young master.
Letter…
I have kept those letters properly. No worry.
I have gone through these letters.
Although I couldn't find any envidence to proof that
Yuwen Hu alliance with enermy,
I found out that
our general informed imperial tutor about military information of our side.
Since imperial court / hasn't received the official letter,
most likely they're spy.
So, I have sent message to uncle Yang
to inform him to pay more attention.
In addition, I also requested my brother to send out his support from Yanzhou.
His Majesty and sister know about this news as well.
So, you don’t have to worry.
As long as Uncle Yang can hold for seven days,
Murong will definitely withdraw his armies.
Why are you so sure?
Could it be that only Yuwen Hu knows to win public support?
I have a friend, who stay in Qi, is very talented.
She has good relationship with Murong's emperor.
So, I has written to her to ask her for favour.
I will pay as much as Yuwen Hu's offer.
At that time,
he can say that he withdraw because of defeat.
Then he can earn double of money.
I don’t believe Murong doesn’t want this business.
How do you confirm the person will help you?
Because she doesn’t like war also.
The new emperor of Qi just inherited the throne.
They need peace in their boundary.
You…
Why do you look at me?
You plan this all by yourself?
How can a lady know so much?
Don’t look down me.
I was growing up in my dad's tent,
He even used military books to teach me vocaburary.
Why?
You feel that my planning is not in proper?
It's proper.
If I were you,
I couldn't plan better than this.
Seriously.
General Jialuo makes strategy in tent.
I admire so much.
You deserve it.
You're smooth-tongued now.
I think the poison is gone.
You're lucky.
The poison applied on Gesu's sword was Monkshood juice.
He used to be my enermy.
As prevention,
I prepare the antidote all the time.
Antidote is here.
Young madame brings luck to young master
Young master was promoted after married.
When poisoning, he got antidote immediately also.
This is indeed peerless.
Nonsense.
Leave now.
Here.
I can do it by myself.
Hey.
Didn’t I feed you the herb last night?
Here.
I can do it by myself.
Why is this herb so bitter?
It's bitter.
No more bitter, right?
It's not that.
Why do you give me candy?
Feel shy?
okay?
I eat one also.
Okay now?
I'm tired.
Zheng Rong
Bring my chop to young master.
Yes.
How can you do this?
I want you to keep this.
If you don’t have my personal chop,
how could you use my money?
Could it be that I have to use your money for medical treatment?
Report to general.
We have searched all around.
We can't find any injured person.
What an useless person.
I'm useless.
I still haven't found the spy.
We only get a clue from guard.
the guard mentioned that the man's slang doesn’t sound like citizen.
Forget about it.
As long as you're not hurt.
Master.
Have you found out which letters are missing?
There are about ten letters.
The other letters are not important.
But two of the letter are written by Chen Si from Anzhou.
Report.
Report to imperial tutor.
Northen has an urgent military update.
Murong from Northwest has attacked Dengzhou.
His majesty has a decree.
Summons imperial tutor to enter palace immediately.
You leave first.
Yes. Sir.
Finally the time comes.
It's just that it happened at this time.
I think the person who sent out spy is master's opponent.
Most likely they're from the palace, Yang's family,
Yu Jin, Hou Mo or Chen Chong.
When master goes to imperial court,
why not observe their reaction?
The person who stole the letter may react differently
when talking about Northwest Murong's issue.
This is the only way.
Your Majesty.
General Yang is going around to inspect Qingzhou.
Why not ask him to send out his armies to support?
I agree.
General Yang is always brave.
I think without Your Majesty's order,
he already rushed to Dengzhou.
It's Great Zhou's fortune to have a loyal officer like him.
If so,
I will appoint Yang Jian as marshal
to take care of military affair in the North.
What is imperial tutor's opinion?
I have no objection.
If so,
quickly announce my decree.
Noted.
Master.
How was it?
If there is nothing unusual,
Yuwen Yong has sent out decree
to ask Yang Jian to bring soldiers to the frontline
and give him a title of marshal.
It's just an empty title.
But I feel that this planning is running too smoothly.
You brought so many men to search in the city.
Everyones know that someone broke into imperial tutor's mansion last night.
But when I went into palace today,
Yuwen Yu seems like know nothing at all.
Perhap it's because the military affair is in critical.
Even it's urgent and critical,
he wouldn't have missed this.
Could it be that he already knew this earlier?
Too bad.
We fall into their trap.
I forget after the position of marshal,
he has been given the authority to manage military affair in the North
If Yang Zhong makes it this time…
So,
the person came last night is Yang's man?
Yang Jian didn’t come to imperial court today.
Logically speaking,
even his position as a general is just for show,
he should have come too.
Could it be that the person who fighted with me was Yang Jian?
Let's go to check it out.
Let me tell you…
What?
You didn’t go to imperial court today.
Yuwen Hu seems like discovering something
and came here directly.
You quickly pretend to be drunk now.
When Yuwen Hu comes,
just tell him that he has been drunk since last night.
You hear me? Yes. Madame.
No.
This small trick won't be able to cheat him.
What if he takes this excuse and observe me personally?
My arm will disclose all the secret.
In addition,
everyones know that you're not staying in Yang's mansion.
How to explain the reason that you're here?
Why not I hide somewhere now?
No need.
We can still act,
but we shall change the script
How to change?
Welcome. Imperial Tutor.
Sorry for not greeting you from far.
It's just that our mansion is not convenient now.
I'm afraid….
Not convenient?
Is anything happened to General Yang?
No. No.
Young master…
Young master suddenly got a serious disease.
Doctor is giving medical attention now.
Then I must go in to have a look.
Imperial tutor.
Let me go. Yang Jian.
I ask you to let me go. Stop.
What's wrong? I just don’t want to let go.
You want to kill your husband? I'm telling you…
don’t be over doing.
I'm telling you.
Yang Jian. What are you saying?
What am I saying?
Imperial tutor.
You let me go.
Young master and Young madame are quarreling.
I will beat you. I'm telling you.
Come and beat me.
Push me. Push me.
Come to beat me.
I'm telling you.
I have warned you last time.
Don’t ever let me see you together with hooker again.
But then?
It's hurt.
Dugu Jialuo.
What are you pointing?
Dugu Jialuo. You point again!
I'm telling you.
It's enough.
We have been quarreling since last night.
Yang Jian.
I don’t want to see you anymore.
Get out of here. I …
Now. Immediately.
I get out. I tell you.
I tell you.
Even hooker is prettier than you.
You're ugly. You…
Who do you say is ugly?
Imperial tutor.
Zheng Rong
Quickly bring young madame go in. Yes. Sir.
Yang Jian.
What brings imperial tutor to my mansion?
Young madame. Please go in.
Military affair is in urgent.
Murong attacks the North.
Imperial court appoints your father as mashel to monitor the battlefield.
I specially come to inform you.
Imperial tutor. Don’t worry.
My father will definitely do his best to monitor the battle.
Yang Jian. Shut up.
It's just that my wife is emotional recently.
Emotional?
Always play smart.
Thank imperial tutor for your advice.
He is not the person.
HouMo ChenChong is absent today too.
Why not I go to investigate?
I leave it to you. Yes.
Luckily. The wound isn't contacted with water.
But the wound is open again.
Isn't this nonsense?
You all were acting excitedly.
How could the wound not open?
Yes.
It's our fault.
But isn't this your idea?
I didn’t blame on you.
As long as we can hide from Yuwen Hu.
I will take it.
You say nonsense again.
Well.
Let me blow for you.
It won't be so hurt if so.
You really treat me as a child in your Compassion House.
Well.
You're not a child.
You're a great general.
You must be brave.
Is this okay?
When your wound is healed,
you must quickly go back to imperial court.
Otherwise, Yuwen Hu will have suspicious ahain.
Blow again.
Seem like it really helps.
Sir.
They have gone.
Then, I go back first.
Er…
Since we're acting,
I think we must do it seriously.
You better don’t go back to Dugu mansion for these 2 days.
Alright.
I will stay at West yard.
Someone here.
Quickly go to do stock count for food
and help those injured soldiers.
Also,
the satety of south gate has to be enhanced.
Hurry up.
Master.
Our reinforcements are coming.
Murong really works hard desperately.
Even we have increased our reinforcement,
I'm afraid…
Report.
Master. You have a letter.
Good.
What a fortune that Yang's family has a daugther-in-law like her.
Kill…..
This is my emperor's message,
and also prime minister Lu's message.
Well.
Ask Yang Zhong to send someone here.
As long as we discuss and make a consensus,
so that I can reply to Yuwen Hu,
I will retreat my armies then.
Report.
Reporting to Your Majesty,
Our armies have make great victory in battle of the North
General Yang Zhong defeated Murong from Northwest
and recovered territory of Dengzhou.
Murong has retreated to his capital
and dare not come out again.
That's great.
It's Great Zhou's fortune.
It's our commoners' fortune.
May Your Majesty live forever.
Forego formalities.
Duke of the Region and Duke of the Distrint are Great Zhou highest ranking.
Yang Zhong has brought back a victory today.
But Yang Zhong has been now Duke of Region and general.
Therefore, I decide to add a higher ranking-Duke of the Country. ,
Promote Yang Zhong as Duke of Sui
Grant ten thousands labour.
No.
Your Majesty. Please think twice.
General Gesu, don’t worry.
The father and son of Yang's family won a victory in battlefield.
Imperial tutor stays in imperial court
to take care of country and commoners' matter.
So, I decided to grant Yuwen Hu as Duke of Jin.
Grant ten thousands labour.
His son Yuwen Xun will be knighted as Duke of Chongye.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Speaking of which,
there is Yang Jian also.
Yang Jian, as a maschel of the frontline,
he has won the battle,
his contribution shouldn't be ignored.
So, I decided to grant Yang Jian as Duke of Daxing.
He will help me to manage the camp in West Hill.
We have spending so much of effort,
but they got the benefits at the end.
This Murong is really useless.
But it's true that Yang Zhong has strong experience in battlefield.
Perhap this is just coincidence.
It might be coincidence to win Murong in the battle.
But Yuwen Yu promoted Yang Jian,
this wasn't a coincidence.
Use a title of Duke to cover my mouth?
He's really smart now.
Luckily, Yang Jian is just an useless person.
We have nothing to afraid of.
I'm afraid that we have underestimated him previously.
It is impossible to ask an useless person
to handle the camp of West Hilll such a critical place.
Even Yang Zhong is silly,
Bore is not.
Dugu Mu contributed to the battle also.
Why didn’t His Majesty transfer him back to capital?
This can only show that
in Bore's mind,
Yang Jian is more reliable than any man in Dugu's family.
Then,
what should we do now?
As long as I'm here for one day,
this Duke of Daxing is the highest ranking that he can get.
This Yuwen Yu really feels that he can instruct the whole world?
Jialuo. Here you are.
Greeting.
Isn't this our newly promoted Madame of Daxing?
Haven't I paid respect to you?
Don’t bullshit.
I will pinch your face.
Could it be that I say wrongly?
In the whole Great Zhou,
you're the youngest Madame.
Stop nonsense.
You're so blessed.
You're wrong.
Don't forget that her sister has been a Madame of Longxi.
One is a old man,
another one is a play boy.
You say how careless was their father to choose son-in-law like them.
It's enough.
Why are you pointing me?
I didn’t mention name clearly.
Marriage is reborn life to a woman.
What for to be duke of country's wife or duke of region's wife?
The abandoned emperor's wife is even an empress.
The most important thing is live happily with husband.
Am I right?
Yes.
Is it anything to do with you?
You're such a bigmouth.
Don’t keep gossip about other.
Whose husband only goes to wife's room twice a month?
But always spend most of his time with concubine?
This is called virtuous.
It's better than jeolous.
I heard that
someone who used to be mistress,
has been bring weapon to brothel to look for her husband everyday.
What a bad luck
Shut up. You…
So,
you don't agree and want to beat me?
Whose husband is so bad luck to have a title of frigthen of wife?
I'm willing to.
What happened?
I saw your favorite snack there just now.
So, I bought some to you.
My wife is prime minister's daugther,
empress' sister,
sister-in-law of Duke of country,
and sister-in-law of Duke of region.
If she is not distinguished, who else?
My wife is beautiful and clever.
It's my fortune to marry her.
Bully and jeolous?
What do you know about these?
This is called making fun.
No doubt you don’t know anything of these.
Perhap you don’t know what is love even you're married.
How dare you!
This is the way to treat this kind of people.
How was it?
Are you happy now?
Why do you get involve into this?
Don’t you feel shame to say so in front of public?
No. I'm happy to do this.
Never try to teach a pig to sing
Come to have a look.
Our general is afraid of his wife. Get out.
Only I can say this.
You hear me?
My wife is beautiful and clever.
It's my fortune to marry her.
What happened?
Someone's kite is fallen.
So that our horse was shocked.
Don’t worry. I'm here.
No one can hurt you.
It looks beautiful.
Why not I bring you to play kite?
Pull harder.
Turn left. Turn left.
How silly you're.
At least I'm smarter than you.
If you're smarter,
why do you keep quiet when the woman gossip about you?
This woman's husband is secretary of Imperial Tutur.
You're just promoted later and get rich,
it's better to keep low profile.
If I quarrel with her,
we may attract Yuwen Hu's attention.
You do this for Yang's family?
Thank you so much.
Keep left.
You think Yuwen Hu doesn’t know if you don't hang around outside?
I'm afraid he is regret he didn’t take action to eliminate me earlier.
Don’t worry. I'm here.
The camp of West Hill is in your hand.
It's worth.
What if….
Why do you have so many prediction?
You think too much.
Remember.
You have a husband now.
I can even lift up the sky for you if it is fallen.
You don’t believe me?
You can ask Zheng Rong.
Am I the person who took down Jiude City?
Am I the person who killed the emperor of Rouran?
Your husband isn't so useless as you think.
I never feel that you're useless.
Well.
You were when you threw the flower when you came into city on that day.
Since you're married,
don’t keep think about your family issue.
Spend more time to think about our own mansion
whether you should help me to buy few more clothes or not.
So that others won't comment you for not being a good wife.
I don’t know spinning and weaving.
Then you can cook some dishes.
Why do you recruit chef if so?
You really like to quarrel with me.
I'm your husband.
Husband.
Do you know what it means?
Why not you ask my sister,
whether she is the decision maker
or His Majesty is the decision maker?
It's matter of palace.
Well.
Then in your family,
is your dad a decision maker
or your mom?
You….
This kite is in my hand.
Are you the boss or I'm the boss?
Of course, I'm the boss.
Well.
I know you said so much for my own good.
You want me to let go my dad's case.
It doesn’t matter.
I'm okay now.
But don’t ever ask me to be a good housewife.
I can never do this in my life.
Sister and I are not women who stay at home all the time.
Since my childhood,
my dad grew me up in a way of raising up a boy.
Although I don’t know sewing,
dancing, singing and drawing,
I read military literature, martial art,
I know to do business and make money,
I have a troop of armies too.
Moreover,
In this chaotic era,
I think you need someone like me to support you,
instead of a housewife who is busy to take care of household.
Up to you.
After all,
Yuwen Hu will find our trouble periodically.
When I'm away to the camp of West Hill,
you have to take care of mansion.
Alright. It's a deal.
Deal.
Quickly help me for a while.
Keep to the left.
After every round of destiny,
the best thing is to do one favour.
Congratulation.
Your left pulse is strong.
I think most likely is a baby boy.
Really?
That's great.
Reward.
Thank you. Madame.
And also…
I understand that
without Madame's permission,
I must keep this as secret.
Madame.
Since it's a baby boy,
you should take care of your health carefully.
Madame.
You look exhausted.
Did you get cold just now?
I will got to take…
It doesn’t matter.
I saw gifts list of Yang's family,
therefore I felt disturb.
Madame.
I have no intention to hide from you purposely.
It's just that officer Wang mentioned that…
I didn’t blame on you.
After all,
the news about my pregnancy will spread to capital the sooner or later.
I just don’t know whether this gifts are specially chosen by him
or simply selected by my sister.
I heard that young mistress always quarrel with Mr Yang.
Young mistress doesn’t stay at Yang's mansion at all.
Everyone knows about that.
There are many items in the gift lists.
I think all these gifts are selected by Mr Yang.
Really?
I dare not cheat you.
Alright.
You help me to reply them with a gift.
Doesn’t need to be expensive.
But there must be a jimsonweed flower inside.
Er…
I think this is not a good idea.
Madame.
Sorry for saying too much,
I just feel that
you commented that you have given up hope to Duke,
but Madame Jin is moved now.
Duke cares about you so much.
For the sake of little baby,
why not you try to live happily with duke in future?
You better let go Mr Yang.
Why do I have to let go?
Yes.
Based on the current situation,
no matter Li Bing is sincere to me or not,
I have to continue to respect him.
To gain a little flavour from him,
even I'm a sister of an empress,
I'm unable to influence Li Cheng's status of the successor.
My son must become Duke of Longxi's successor.
Because of this point,
I must use all the resources.
So,
it's no harm to keep in touch with Yang Jian.
Do you understand?
The title of successor?
Madame. You want to…
Officer Wang is in the midst of planning this.
But successor is a kind person.
He helped us last time in Madame Jin's case.
Is he a kind person?
If he didn’t go to the wrong room,
did I need to suffer all these?
Because of this,
he deserves to what I'm going to do to him.
But…
Why are you so worried?
I didn’t say I wanted to kill him.
It's just that
what he needs to suffer in the future,
will be more worst than taking his life.
Come.
Okay.
Eat more.
What did doctor say?
Duke is so anxious?
Doctor says that
I'm weak and my pulse isn't clear.
So, he can't confirm now.
But I would like to have daugther.
Because my father likes three of our sisters too.
Actually, baby gender is not important.
I just like baby.
What's wrong?
Your back is sore?
Come.
Let me help you to massage.
I thought I won't feel vomitting at the coming pregnancy month.
But why do I still love to eat sour thing?
What to do now?
You want to eat some sour thing?
It's easy.
There is a persimmon tree in the front yard.
I go to pluck two for you.
Thank you.
I should do it.
You wait for a while.
Come.
Hurry up.
Madame would like to eat.
I will just pluck it for her
Duke.
What is this?
I almost fall down.
Could it be… I….
What are you saying? Shut up.
Duke.
Just now….
Maids are cleaning up all these yellow beans.
Yellow bean?
I will go to punish them later.
Please use that way.
Why there are yellow beans here?
Duke.
The ladder is ready.
This way please.
Okay.
Pluck persimmon first.
Serve her well.
Noted.
It's enough.
Yes.
How many time I have told you all to be careful?
Why there is still a mistake?
Someone wants to hurt madame.
He does it privately.
But we're under a twilight.
How can we prevent this?
How dare you give excuse.
But I really don’t understand.
Duke has seem it obviously.
Why do you want to cover it?
Why not we tell duke and ask him for help?
What do you know?
Without evidence,
Duke will be angry if we say so.
Madame uses to tell you all
to do more and talk lesser.
Isn't her intention to maintain the harmony of the mansion?
Can you remember now?
Yes.
Stop.
Duke.
Tell me.
What do madame and officer Wang hide from me today?
Old master. I ….
We… Tell me.
Duke.
Please help Madame.
After all,
ever since Madame pregnant,
there are many strange cases.
Either the staircase has a pearl,
or the rope of the swing broke into half.
Even the frence of the bridge was broken unreasonably.
I thought all these were done by Madame Jin.
But Madame Jin is sick now.
After that, everyone mentioned that
Madame carries a baby boy.
If anything happens,
the most beneficial party will be the successor.
Bullshit
Sorry for saying too much,
Sorry.
Do you know what is the consequence to piss me off?
It's enough.
Continue.
what do they say somemore?
When Madame heard about this,
she scolded us greatly.
She said, successor is kind hearted.
He isn't a person like this.
She also said,
if we dare to bullshit again,
she would ask us to leave.
Officer Wang also mentioned that,
this case wasn't done by successor.
But, what about people around successor?
They may afraid Madame's baby will be a hindrance.
So..
After all,
Madame and Officer Wang don't want you to know that.
So, they take extra attention to prevent this.
But I'm worried about Madame.
Alright.
You all may leave now.
Yes.
Go to check whether what they said is true or not.
Yes.
