Epi. 38
Mantuo
Because of the kid
Your sister misses you a lot
But today you look graceful
Then I feel relieved
and I can go back to explain to your sister
Thanks for the concern
I won't disappoint you all
I will take good care of myself
Mantuo
Jialuo
Stop messing around
This is inappropiate
Nevermind, nevermind
Since this is our own banquet, it doesn't matter
My little sister is naughty since she was a kid
Brother-in-law, don't take it seriously
You're fighting on the battlefield for life
Jialuo has no reason to grab it away from you
Let me apologize to you on behalf of Jialuo
Don't say so
Second Sister, you're speaking too serious
Look at both of you
If Bore knows about this
She will think I'm not being hospitality enough
But look
There are so many delicious food
Why she must grab away that dish?
That's right
That's not true
There are only two pieces of meat on a plate
This purposely makes the eaters to fight
Just because of this
Brother-in-law must be punished to drink a cup of wine
You can't punish His Majesty
I think
Let me punish myself
to drink few cups of wine
to apologise to His Majesty
Mantuo
Mantuo, you…
Third Miss
Are you going to take your meal at here
or go back to main hall?
Do Second sister and Great General eat already?
The meal of Mrs County Lord is sent to her room already
When I came here
I met Sir
He asked me
where do you go
He said he is waiting you at main hall to ea together
Then I will go back main hall to eat
What about Great General?
Third Miss
Sir was waiting at here initially
But something happened at the East Wing
Looks like
Second Miss had thrown up
because she drank a bowl of yelllow croaker soup
Then Sir rushed to there
Yang Jian
Because Second Sister lost her child
That's why I have been tolerating you along this
But I never thought you would overstep the border
You're going too far
Brother Jian
I'm so sorry
Look
There's no other maid at here
And I vomitted on the skirt of Qiu Shi
I'm really…
I'm just trying to give a hand
Nothing big deal
If you can drink by yourself
Then you can try to do so
Nevermind
Let me do it
Brother Jian
Before this I quarreled with Jialuo
because of the memorial
You won't blame me, right?
Maybe you don't know that
the life of being alone at Longxi
is so torturing
Why would I blame you?
You're thinking too much
Jialuo and I are not petty
Young Master
Oh no
The West Mountain Camp is on fire
What happened?
Is it a mutiny
or Yuwen Hu did something again?
I lied to you
Do you think something would happen at West Mountain Camp?
I think you don't even know our house is on fire
I went to your house to look for you just now
And I saw Dong Qu and Young Madam
I heard a maid said
Young Madam saw you feed her the soup
and she left with angers
She left?
Where is she going?
You ask me? Then who should I ask?
Your face was full of love
when you were holding the spoon just now
You should be relieved
since Young Madam didn't go in and pour a pail of water on you
What nonsense are you talking about?
Mantuo is feeling not well
and there's nobody else to serve her there
So I…
My Young Master
Do you understand the meaning of standing under a plum tree?
When you were at the mourning hall
You did a good job to avoid arousing suspicion
So what if she is feeling not well?
Young Madam is her own sister
County Lord of Longxi is her husband
And this is her house
Even if she is feeling not well
You're not the person who should show your concern to her
Young Madam just came back
How does she feel?
Young Madam
She doesn't come back at all
Jialuo runaways from home
She is not at your place?
Of course she isn't here
What did you do to her?
I heard Mrs County Lord is back to capital
What did you promise me before this?
Few days just passed
and when Dugu Mantuo just came back
You just put Jialuo at behind?
I didn't
I have kept a safe distance from her
Jialuo is too sensitive
I'm fine if you want to beat me now
But now the most important thing is
to get her back first
What are you talking about?
Jialuo is too sensitive?
Get lost
You don't deserve to be beaten by me
Because you're totally an idiot
He Quan
Yes
Call all the people
to go to the porcelain workshop, Ru Yu Pavilion
and the tomb of Prime Minister Dugu
Quick Yes
Why stop?
There is a junction at the front
Princess
Where do we go?
Wherever will do
Just leave Chang'an as far as possible
Alright
Let's go
Miss
It's quite goo to come out and take a walk
Dong Qu
You tell me
He just fed her medicin
Am I overeacting?
We've come so far already
And you're still thinking at his side?
We should give him a hard time
I'm mad when we start mentioning him
Yesterday morning
He even told me
to clean the main hall and pick a date
He said he wants to live together with you
What people said is true
The promise of a man is as thin as a paper
and it will turn into dust when it is blown by wind
Forget about it
I don't want to apply cold water to your wound
Who didn't meet some bastards
when they are young?
You're younger than me
But seeing you suffer like this
My heart is already getting old
Brother Zheng Rong, Brother He Quan
Quick
Young Master
We've got good news
Tell me quickly
The guard of Guang Hua City told us
Four hours ago
The Captain Du of Ji Ci Army led few cavalries
to escort a carriage out of the city
They were heading to the east along the Lushui River
They are escorted by Captain Du
So we don't need to worry about princess' safety
But where is she going?
Who knows?
Maybe she is disappointed
and doesn’t want to see something anymore
Even if she is upset
Even if I did wrong
She should say something before leaving
Why she just left like this?
Have they found her?
They've been searching for the whole night
at every possible place
They said Third Miss is upset
and left the city
She is good in playing this card
MIss
Since this is getting serious
Why don't you just
stay away from Sir Yang after this?
No
You better stay away from General Yang
Because no matter what
Both of you are married
What a joke
Why should I think on their sides?
Did I hold the hand of Yang Jian and ask him not to leave?
Moreover
Our families are allies
I'm sick
He came to visit me
That's normal
If Jialuo wants to leave
Just let her be
We've been hearing along this
that she is a jealous person
But brother-in-low and sister-in-law
must avoid arousing suspicion
If more people are know this
I afraid…
Afraid of what?
Li Wei is at a far away place
but he could know what happens in capital
Moreover
He feels guilty to me
Even if he knows
What can he do to me?
Why I have to suffer alone
at Longxi by myself
but they can live happily there?
When I left capital
He told me that
he will wait for me forever
Since I'm not happy
All of them can't be happy too
And that will be fair for everybody
Miss, you don't…
Help me to dress up quickly
Later I still need to go to Yang's house
to console Brother Jian
Quick
Madam
Ease yourself
I heard something happened
so I'm coming to pay a visit
Our young master is feeling not well
and hasn't woke up
Our young madam is not in the house too
Sorry for not being to serve you
So please come on the other day
This is weird
I can't even enter
the house of my sister?
Madam
Do you know the rules?
I'm stupid
I don't know the rules of coming uninvitedly
What are you doing?
Our madam is sick
Madam
You didn't sleep well yesterday
The pigeon is released
Every station will be observed
Don't make things worse
Maybe
She just goes to take a walk
Yes
Why are you blocking me from going inside?
Madam Why are you blocking me?
Madam
Madam, Madam
Brother Jian
I heard something happened to Jialuo
I'm coming to see what happened
But he…
He didn't allow me to go in
Brother Jian
Don't blame him
He did it for my own good
You're not recover yet
Why don't you take a rest at house?
I'm worrying about you
You didn't sleep well yesterday?
This Jialuo is having bad temper
since she is a kid
Even she is married
She still doesn't know how to control her temper
Look
Dark circles
I…
We're not youngsters anymore
Right
We're not youngsters anymore
Do you forget the words
you had said before?
I remember during that time
It was the same surrounding
You and I looked into each other eyes
And you told me
You will wait for me forever
Wait for me to be free again one day
I'm sorry for what happened before
Too bad this world is changing too much
Sometimes you have to do things
that you don't want to do
You mean
You still have me on your mind?
You never fall in love with other, right?
You and Jialuo are just a fake couple
Right?
You're misunderstanding
You don't need to speak anymore
I knew it
I'm still on your mind
Mrs County Lord
Are you coming to our house
to concern about your sister
or coming to fall in love
with our Young Master again?
Edict from Her Majesty
Her Majesty ordered
Great General, Yang Jian, to go to palace immediately
No mistake is allowed, that's it
Long lives, Her Majesty
Thanks
Sir
Can you do me a favor
by informing Her Majesty
that I want to see her too?
Who are you?
I am Mrs County Lord of Longxi
We're coming here to pass the edict to him
If you want to meet Her Majesty
You have to submit your memorial at the palace gate
How dare you?
I am the sister of Her Majesty
General Yang is also the brother-in-law of Her Majesty
You ask him
Can he enter the palace without submitting any memorial?
You…
Qiu Chi
Bring your madam back quickly
Mantuo
Sorry for can't keep you company
Brother Jian
How can these low-class people
treat me like this?
Madam
If the wife of a officer come to capital
By right she should go to Hong Bin Hall first
Even she has a house in capital
She should report it before going back her house
But when you arrived here
You went back to your house directly
You just asked a female officer to go to Hong Bin Hall
So it's normal if the people from palace don't know about it
You're speaking too much
Let's go to Hong Bin Hall
Take all my imperial mandates
I'm going to submit a memorial to enter the palace
to ask my sister to educate
these blinded people
Wait
How dare you?
Is there any other husband like you?
I have been treating you nice along this
and you want to stand on my face?
I am not die yet
And you start to bully Jialuo?
Calm down
Your Majesty
I would like to defend Great General
Great General was engaged with Mrs County Lord before this
They didn't meet each other for a long time
It's normal for them to get too excited when they met again
According the the maids
Great General and Mrs County Lord
didn’t do anything inappropiate
And it was Thir Miss who let Great general
to take care of Mrs County Lord
Why?
Do you feel wronged?
Jialuo asked you go to take care of her
Then you really went to do it?
She just thinks on your side
Do you even think on her side?
I tell you what
Before Mantuo is married
Her surname is Dugu
After she is married, her surname is Li
Even if she dies
She doesn't need you to take care of her
She just acted
and dropped few tears
Then you became softhearted
What position do you put Jialuo at?
Look at what happened now
She is gone
And we can’t find her
If Jialuo encounters any accident out there
How do you explain to me?
You are still standing there doing nothing?
If I knew you treat her like this
Then I will go against the will of my father
and don't allow her to get married by you
I…
Call imperial doctor quickly
Yes
Your Majesty
Are you alright?
Get lost
Great General
You better go back quickly
and think about how to find Third Miss
That's the most important thing for now
Yes
General Yang
Wait
Her Majesty is going to deliver
Her blood flow and qi are surging
and she is being restlessly all the time
Today when she knew Third Miss is missing
She was short of breath because of too angry
That's why she is furious
I hope you understand
Don't say so
I am wrong in this case
Her Majesty is furious
not because she is the empress
But she is their eldest sister
As long as you're swinging
between Second Miss and Third Miss
Then in the end
You will hurt them both
I understand
General Yang, you are a smart guy
You better think about it
Wait
I would like to ask you about one thing
Her Majesty said
Mantuo always uses tears
and act getting sick
to make me softhearted
What does it mean?
Sir
Do you ever think about this?
They are both sisters of Her Majesty
Second Miss is elder
and she is married to County Lord of Longxi
But she is just canonized as princess recently
Her Majesty doesn't like her along this
But this is not prejudice of sibllings of different mothers
You can ask the people who worked in Dugu's house before
All of them know Second Miss is narrow-minded
She would use tears as her weapon
just because of a small incident
Her Majesty forbidded others
to tell you about Second Miss's loss of her daughter
is because she worried that you will sympathise her
and both of you will fall in love again
This will affect your relationship with Third Miss
But we never thought…
Impossible
Mantuo is not that kind of person
Why do you think
Her Majesty wants to lie to you?
Actually I had let Mantuo go already
But her sickness is too serious
I can't just watch her and do nothing
And Jialuo was the one
who let me to take care of Mantuo
How can she leave without saying anything?
General Yang
Looks like you really don't understand a woman
Sir
Please allow me to give you an advice
Since Yang's family
is the strong aide of His Majesty
If you really can't let Second Miss go
Then why don't you just get a divorce earlier
About the County Lord's side…
No way
I won't divorce Jialuo no matter what
Then this will be more difficult
You just can marry
one of the daughters from Dugu's family
Please allow me to say one more thing
You can't let Second Miss go
because you think
you and Second Miss are meant for each other
But maybe you don't know that
Second Miss didn't want to
marry you at first
What did you say?
Sir, try to think about last time
about the incident of Second Miss' dowry and drowning
Don't you feel that they were suspicious?
I guess he is suffering now
Both sisters of Dugu's family
are having the same weird temper
How is Bore now?
The months of pregnancy are too high
It's impossible for a miscarriage to happen
So the prepared poison
will kill the foetus in her belly
And we can't avoid
from not harming the mother
But there will be no big problem
Why I feel sad
when hearing this from you?
Last time you were softhearted
that 's why we were failed
This time
Even if you feel regret
Everything is set
Then why do you have to be sad?
Her Majesty is the devil inside your heart
If you can put it down one day
There will be no any other obstacles
blocking your way to succeed after this
You faster send some people
to search for Dugu Jialuo too
Wait until she has miscarriage
This sister is the only one
who can console her
Mrs County Lord of Longxi wants to see you
You know
How good if I can live at there
Right
It is so beautiful here
Why I don't see aunt around?
I thought she is living here?
Why I didn't see her just now?
I don't know too
What happened?
Don't you feel ashamed to come back?
I sent you to County Lord's house at Longxi
Did you make it?
She is Mrs County Lord of Longxi
and she is served by an outsider
How did you do your job?
Did you neglect your duty or what?
Yes, this is my fault
Please punish me
Go out
Thanks, You Majesty
Aunt
Let me go, let me go
Sister
If I take care of you earlier
Then you won't come out so many lousy ideas
Sister
Mantuo
Don't call me like this
Now I am the empress
And you just a
low-class officer
Before this I helped you sometimes
because of dad
But when I knew
what you've done
I just understand
a viper doesn't deserve to be helped
Your Majesty
Your Majesty, please listen to me
It was a misunderstanding yesterday
Don't lie in this palace
And you
If you try to create troubles after this
I don't mind to help you husband
to get a third wife
Get lost
How can she treat me like this?
It was Jialuo's fault
Do you still want to live?
As long as she is the empress
She can do whatever she wants
It was my fault
My body is weak
Otherwise if I go to Dugu's house with you yesterday
This won't happen
Think positively
Her Majesty still sees you as her sister
Since she is using this carriage to send you back
That means she doesn't want you
to feel embarrassed
I hate her
When we are out of the city later
We will arrive at the border of Qi Nation
Since we've arrived Luozhou
Why don't we eat some dumpling?
Let's eat something
I heard people say
there's a famous rock cave outside of the city
It was built by some philanthropists before this
Or we go to take a walk
at there in the afternoon?
Alright
Miss
I've told you this is a godd place
There are mountains and water here
How beautiful it is
Miss
Don't be unhappy
Isn’t it good for us
to come out and take a walk?
Look at there
Slower
Come, be careful
Watch out
Are you alright?
Thanks
Jialuo
Sister Lu
Little Jialuo
Do you still remember me?
Greeting, Your Majesty of Qi
There's no outsider here
Just call him brother-in-law
Brother-in-law
Since he is getting sick
He has been staying in the palace
I couldn’t bear to see him be like this
so I take him out for a walk
To save troubles
We sneaked into your Zhou Nation
You are the wife of Great General
You won't spill the beans, right?
Of course I won't
I will be very happy
if Sister Lu can come more often
Thanks to you
for the incident of Madam Murong last time
Actually I wanted to see you at Qi Nation
for these few years
But many things happened in my family
I have heard about the incident of Prime Minister
Because our nations were engaged in a war that time
To avoid arousing suspicion
I didn't send anybody to send condolences
I even can't attend your wedding
I feel guilty about it
Luckily Duke Yang is a righteous person
I bet his son
is a talented person too
Madam
Do you still remember me?
Aren't you the abacus genius from porcelain workshop?
You're following Jialuo now?
Yes
My name is Dong Qu now
Madam
I know our Miss
always listen to your words
Now she is getting into a blind alley again
So I'm asking your favour
to help our Miss
What happened to you
Tell me
I am really suffering now
But my sister is going to deliver soon
If I tell her
She will worry about me
Sister Lu, but now only Second Sister at house
And he is at my house
I really don't know where to go
Silly girl
If you runaway from house
Don't you think your sister will be worried too?
Actually I have many ways to console you
But now
I don't want to speak anything
Do you know why Zhan wanted to abdicate?
It is because of his health
I afraid he only has few months to live
Impossible
But if this is real
Then why do you still want to
bring him out now?
Because I want to live my life freely
Stop thinking about
to become the emperor of female officer
We can do whatever we want
I met him when I was seventeen years old
If I knew we only have each other
for eighteen years during the time
I would appreciate everyday
to be together with him
I wouldn't argue with him
I wouldn't fight with him
I would just look at him
and pamper him
Actually Zhan is not perfect either
He engaged before
and married an empress
We are together until now by an odd coincidence
I am not a legal wife of him too
But now
This doesn't matter anymore
But…
Jialuo, no but
I think you're being too hypocritical
in handling this issue
If you really love Yang Jian
And you sure he loves you
Then you should trust him
Remember
Don't regret
for whatever choice you've made
Du
Let's go back to capital
Yes, Madam
Madam
Seems it's a right choice to visit this rock cave
Miss is having a good mood
after coming back from there
Here please
Ask your post officer to come out
Yes
This is the Great General
General
Today you came back to capital
You said you saw a black carriage
and few guards were passing by?
Is this the carriage?
That's right
It was the carriage
About two days ago
It passed by here when the night just fell
Where were they heading to?
Hard to tell
There are three junctions at front
They could go to Tongzhou
Or Luoyang
Or Shangcai
I'm not sure
Fu Cheng King go back to Tongzhou at this time
Maybe it is…
Let's go to take a look
Young Master
We've been travelling for a whole day
The whereabout of Young Madam is clear now
And she is protected by Captain Du
I think she will be safe
We didn't even sleep for few days on battlefield
What's the big deal to travel a little journey like this?
Even if the people don't rest
At least give some water to the horses
I will go to get water and rations
Post guard
Refill some water in my room
Li Cheng
Brother Yang
How are you?
Who is your Brother Yang?
Tell me
Did you kill the child of Mantuo?
Why are you laughing?
I'm laughing at all the people because of their foolishness
I'm laughing at my stepmother
because of her mighty power
She was not only lie to my father
Even you, as her ex-lover
Also willing to step forward for her
Stop trying to confuse me
Straight to the point
Even if you don't ask me
I will tell you
the true colours of Dugu Mantuo anyway
I have tea in my room
Do you want some?
Impossible
I don't believe Mantuo is that kind of person
You said she framed you
What's the evidence?
I am the son of County Lord
And I am sent to Nanning
where is deserted
What else do I need to show you as evidence?
If I am jealous and hate my sibling
as what she accused
I could just kill her
when my father is not around
Why would I do it before she was about to deliver?
This is sophistry
I don't believe it
There's no any woman
will use the life of her child
to frame others
Others won't, but she will
For the wealth and prosperity
She even can sacrifice her virginity
Don't mention about
a daughter who can't ascend the throne
Shut up
Do you really think
she was framed by others
to sleep with my father?
She wanted to sleep with me
She thought your position is too low
and Yang's family isn't rich
That's why she approached me many times
She invited me to hunting ground and called me cousin
And she told me Jialuo and Fu Cheng King
were already slept with each other
Don't talk nonsense
Try to think
Wasn't I drunk and chat
with Dugu Shun on the day?
My father walked into the wrong room, right?
Second Miss didn't want to marry you at first
Sir, try to think about last time
about the incident of Second Miss' dowry and drowning
Don't you feel that they were suspicious?
My sister was too hotheaded today
She accidentally pushed my into the water
Second Sister
You're slinging mud at me
You are the one who want to be the queen
Then you go to…
Then you go to seduce Yong
and discoved by me
You…
You're the one who think
your husband is not as good as mine and sister's
So you started to jealous
and dumped Yang Jian
to become the queen of Yong
I have nothing to hide in my whole life
I never did, and I will never do
this kind fo dirty business
Since the virginity is taken away
Then I will use my life to pay her back
That will be even, right?
Brother Yang
I am a stray dog nowadays
Of course you can choose not to believe
what I've said just now
Even I spent a long time to think
and understand the reasons behind it
But the god is watching
Even Dugu Mantuo can hide everything
She must have leave any trace behind
Why don't you go to investigate
If you can prove that
I lodged a false accusation against your lover
You can come to kill me anytime at Nanning
I thought we're resting for the whole night?
I repeat again
Go back to capital immediately
Release the flying pigeon
Let the housekeeper to search
for the family of the wet nurse of Mantuo
And the maid of Jialuo, Xia Ge
who is sold to others
When I arrive at capital
I want to see them
Madam
Eat something
If not your body couldn't take it
Madam
How can you eat nothing?
Here
Eat something
It's all your fault
If you didn't urge me to come to capital
I won't be embarrassed like this
I ask you to come back to capital
is because I hope you can reconcile with Her Majesty and Mrs Yang
Use their help wisely
I didn't ask you to come back to grab your sister's husband
and make your sister angry
If you want to blame me
Then I will leave now
Aunt
Don't go
I am going too far
and speak wrongly
Please don't mind about it
Please accept my apologies
This is too heavy for me
Aunt
This is my fault
If you ignore me at this time
Then I can't survive anymore
Please
For the time we've spent together before this
For my baby
who is killed when she just born
Don't mind about it
Just forgive me
Madam
You're smart
You're quick on the uptake of many things
But you still need to understand slowly
the meaning of going beyond the limit
Please teach me
What should I do?
