Episode 34
Are you okay?
All the assassins, including everyone in the Changnian Palace,
I want them out of Yan Du.
No one shall tell.
Otherwise, I will kill them and their family.
Even you!
Noble Consort Ning,
Emperor, what happened?
Nothing big. Just Wei Guang, in the forest
encountered some bandits.
Some of his men died. He was petty upset.
I comforted him.
Wei Guang is not a sloppy person.
His brothers died for him.
Let's not talk about this.
Why are you back now?
I heard Grand Marshal Wei got assassinated.
I thought something big happened in Yan Du, so I came back.
There's nothing big.
Luckily it was just bandits.
That's good you came back. Now you get a few days of rest.
As for disaster relief, Ban Ling'er will be in charge of it.
There will be officers supervising this.
That's good. Lord Zhou is a loyal man.
I am relieved.
How did you come?
How are you?
I am ok.
What actually happen?
How did you encounter bandits?
How could normal bandits hurt you? Also, how could you get so drunk?
The King has told you what happened, hasn't he?
He said..... you died because of your brothers.
And you were drinking. I don't buy it at all.
Based on your personalities, you'll check the bandits' background.
And
your injuries
are not bitten by a beast.
Ningzhi, some things
are better if you don't know than know.
I can't know your matters.
I wish you promise me
to stop asking about it.
Can you?
I understand.
I am too selfish.
I should never leave you.
After this, maybe I could have a peaceful life.
Ningzhi
don't blame yourself.
Next, you'll have to face more difficult situations.
Ok, then you promise me
that you won't have any problems anymore, ok?
Ok.
I promise you.
Are you sure that it's FeiHu camp's people?
Of course. It was well arranged.
The first shot arrows from every direction.
Even I was lucky enough to get away.
There was an ambush in the swamp.
The King wanted me to die in the swamp.
My body will drown slowly.
Without a singer trace.
I heard, all the King's army were out.
They searched the whole area.
-How did you escape? -I didn't care about anything and escape to a place.
There, no one would search.
Actually, that place you are the most familiar.
Wolf Mountain.
No one can be on Wolf Mountain and be alive.
Aren't you precedent?
It's not the right time for a joke.
At that time, everywhere was wolves and I only have one sword.
For each wolf I see, I kill. I don't even know how much wolves I've killed.
Then, my sword broke and I fought my way down the mountain.
Originally, my heart was thinking of a person
that I would do unimaginable things for
The King is so cruel.
I always knew he is suspicious.
and will not let me go.
But my heart is here
then where would it go?
Your heart is in Noble Consort Ning.
Aren't you the same?
The palace is such a dangerous place
don't you still have to stay by the Empress' side?
I am
Forget it. You better be more careful.
Actually, this time Ningzhi saved me.
I remember she used the old day's barrier method.
The Emperor thought I put half of red arsenic but I've already switched it.
Put in the wine are the fake medicine.
Wei Guang isn't afraid of death
But he wish he dies on the battlefield
instead of this royal drama.
Have you figured out what happened yesterday in Changnian Palace?
Is it like what the King said,
that he was comforting Wei Guang.
Empress Dowager's man told me a different story.
Wei Guang got assassinated yesterday.
It was the King's doing.
What do you think?
The King is suspicious about Wei Guang,
But he needs to ease the people now.
If Wei Guang is dead, the council will be in trouble.
Also, Wei Guang has sacrificed his life so many times for Great Liang.
I don't think the King can be this cold-blooded.
He can be.
You can never know a person.
Even if you have been living with him for years.
Only after things happened could you realize
that this man is a stranger.
The King behaves differently
regarding whether his benefits got compromised.
Didn't he put me into the Cold Palace just for negotiating?
Humankind is the most unexpecting thing in the world.
Your Majesty, now that situation is relatively stable.
I believe he will consider giving your title back.
Not that easy.
He put me into the Cold Palace when the Elder Princess was here.
Now if he releases me right after the crisis.
He is literally telling the world that he is an unloyalty husband.
You know him so well,
you must know whether you can get your title back
depends on you.
You ask me to beg him?
Empress Dowager told me once that the King is the dignity of Great Liang.
The only reason Wei Guang could survive
is he had shown respect to the King.
You could act like him,
the King only wants you to show that you are sorry.
To show the people he was doing the right thing.
So that he could show his mercy and give back your title.
You are manipulating the King's mind.
Ningzhi, you are different now.
Such a speech.
You sound like Wei Guang.
But you had a point.
I will confess my mistakes to His Majesty.
I will beg His Majesty.
So that I can redeem my sins.
And pray for our people.
It's so nice of your Majesty.
♫ If there's another day left for us. ♫
♫ To live peacefully. ♫
♫ If the world dosen't need our pity. ♫
♫ Only love remains. ♫
♫ Can you come back to me? ♫
♫ Let the old things die ♫
♫ To fullfil your wishes. ♫
♫ I can bear the hardship in the journey. I can fight my life for you ♫
♫ I can travel across mountains and waters for you ♫
♫ Life and death failed to trap me. We who say forever to each other ♫
♫ Will not give up on one another ♫
♫ I can be alone for you. I can be your background. ♫
♫ I can turn to a lonely city for you ♫
Ban Ling'er, you have just become a female commander.
You shall do your best in your job.
I hope you can grow to a great female commander.
Others can do it, you can too.
Excuse me.
Lord Zhou.
Lord Ban.
The speed is a little bit slow.
When will the food arrive?
Around nightfall.
His Majesty is worrying about the situation getting worse.
We can't get slack.
Lord Ban,
Don't worry, I have come up with a plan.
We can deliver the food to Guang Bei within 3 days.
It only takes half of the estimated time.
So that we can save more people.
What's your plan?
We transport the food to Nanming Jun in the first two days.
What did you say?
We are helping out Guang Bei. Nanming Jun is in the opposite direction.
There is a river connecting Nanming Jun and Guang Bei.
It only takes a day on the boat to get to one another.
I know that river.
It's very shallow. The ferries can't pass through.
God helps us.
Every year during this period,
there will be rising tide.
The ferries will be able to pass through.
Is that so?
I am here to supervise the food transportation under His Majesty's name.
You are doing your best.
However, His Majesty is still worrying about his people.
To help His Majesty, I have come up with a plan.
So that the food can arrive at Guang Bei within three days.
I wish you could take my plan.
Please tell, Lord Ban.
We need to transport the food to Nanming Jun first.
And then transport them to Guang Bei by boat.
The river is too shallow. I am afraid it won't work.
I have sent people to investigate it.
The ride will rise in the following days.
The ferries could pass through.
So you all need to hurry up.
You are truly intelligent.
This could be a great plan.
Too soon to celebrate now.
Does anyone know if there are ferries available here?
I am in charge of the ferries.
In that case, you two will be responsible for finding ferries.
You two are responsible for supervising the ferries to Nanming Jun.
As for Lord Liang and Lord Zhou,
You two will head to Guang Bei first,
tell the people that our food supply will arrive on ferries,
let them wait by the river.
Understand?
Lord Ban is representing His Majesty.
Her plan is feasible.
Please start working on it.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
What do you want?
I am here to confess my mistakes.
Your Majesty put me in the Palace. I was supposed to behave.
I shouldn't complain.
That's what you want to say?
This year is unlucky. The natural disasters are all over.
I wish to redeem my mistakes.
I wish to comfort the people for your Majesty.
Please allow me.
That's quite nice of you.
Then yes, I will send guards to protect you.
You shall go.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, the position of Empress has been empty for the right candiate
for a long time.
Can Her Majesty have her title back after she comes back?
Although she is not decent,
she has the will to improve herself and love her people.
That's great. I will give her title
Once she comes back.
Thank Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, you must be happy to see
people supporting you
when you were praying for them.
Depression does not good to your health.
Knowing them starving every day.
compare to when I was in the Palace
and living a luxury life,
I was always unsatisfied
and upset for little things.
Think about it now,
I feel so regretful.
Your Majesty is caring for the people.
Getting to know their lives while praying for them.
You have really changed.
Piss off!
Your Majesty, let's go!
Hurry!
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! Are you okay?
Let's get out of here!
Your Majesty! Ah!
Stop!
Help! Help!
Someone help! Someone help!
- Are you okay? -I am fine. Just a scratch.
- Are you okay? -I am okay.
You are injured and still concerning me.
Even you have nine lives,
you could have died like this!
I agree.
They are gone. We are safe.
What a rough time lately.
I got banished into the Cold Palace.
Now we are out of the Cold Palace,
we ran into the bandits.
Thank god we are not captured.
You can't do chores,
why would they capture you?
Your Majesty!
Please forgive us for arriving late.
Your Majesty, Dongfang Yu and Dongfang Xuan are here.
-You can leave now. -Yes.
Your Majesty.
Gentlemen, why aren't you heading back home?
We worry about Great Liang.
Your trusted man has witnessed
Wei Guang and the Elder Princess secretly seeing each other.
And yet you still make him a general.
By doing this, you are raising your own enemy.
You are deeply concerning for our country.
It's our honor.
But how we run our country is our own business.
You shall head back home as soon as possible.
You shall not stay for too long.
Seems like we are not welcomed.
It's fine. We will be leaving soon.
Before we go, we have a secret to tell Your Majesty.
-What? -Last night I observed the stars.
Next to your king star
there was a ruby star fall out of blue.
You are saying that among all my consorts,
there will be one
who suffer from this?
Leave now.
Yes.
Your Majesty, Grand Marshal Wei and Noble Consort Ning are having an affair.
I see you as two rare wise men.
I respect you.
How dare you slander Noble Consort Ning!
I shall not tolerate it.
Your Majesty, what I said about Grand Marshal Wei being unfaithful was confirmed.
If you are patient enough to wait.
Within 3 months, Grand Marshal Wei and Noble Consort Ning's affair,
will come out.
By that time, the situation of Great Liang
will only get worse.
I know Noble Consort Ning very well.
Gentlemen, please leave.
Since your Majesty is so mad,
we shall leave.
But we will be waiting
for your summon.
Wanxiang Palace
You are back.
Your Majesty.
You had me to take care of Prince when Liang Fei was unwell.
It has been two years since.
I take Prince to great you today.
Thank you for saving m life that day, I always remember it.
I have been waiting to come back and kowtow to you.
Stand up. You are welcome.
You are young, don't be so stiff.
It's great now you are back.
I will tell the kitchen to make some dessert for you.
Thank you, your majesty.
The Price has only been out for a few years,
he grew so much.
Did he?
I guess it was because Noble Consort Fu wanted the Price towin
so she taught him so well.
He grew a little bit later than other kids.
The writing is pretty good.
Not bad.
Your Majesty, the Prince not only can write,
but also can do poems.
Lady De, You taught Kanger well.
I grant him to stay in Qing Zhou, come back in a few years. You are in charge.
I will reward you.
Your Majesty, I wouldn't dare to ask for a reward.
The Prince can become what he is now,
was all because of Noble Consort Ning.
Without Her Majesty's kindness,
the Prince won't be like this today.
Ningzhi, you have done so much these years.
Your Majesty, the baggage is ready.
We shall go back to the Palace tomorrow morning.
This bitter medicine, again?
Drink it. You have to.
Every time I drink it,
it was like torture.
When can I stop drinking it?
When you are better.
Do you have something on your mind?
I am worried about Ningzhi.
I don't know why but I have a bad feeling.
If you are worried,
then I will go check her pulse.
I am worried about his Majesty.
I fear that he will attack Wei.
The world will turn upside down.
You are clever. Last time Wei Guang got assassinated,
it was the King's doing.
Is that so?
Then, why wouldn't Wei Guang leave?
Nothing can make him stay expect for Noble Consort Ning.
I fear Wei Guang
will end up like his father.
I actually never understand,
Wei Gung devoted his life for Great Liang,
how could the King did such thing to him?
You are a man.
Don't you know what a man is thinking?
The king is suspecting Noble Consort Ning and Wei Guang?
Noble Consort Ning and Wei Guang,
were very decent.
The King knows it.
And he allowed it.
Would he be upset about them?
Things change.
The elder Princess and Prince of Guangding were lawless.
The King sure didn't mind.
He could even have Noble Consort Ning
to swing Wei Guang.
But now the crisis is over.
His jealousy revealed.
Think about it, how could a King tolerate
his women getting too close with another man?
Of course not.
Not to mention that
he has never won her love.
So no matter what, you must get your title back as soon as possible.
Only if you have the power,
you can deal with what's coming.
Kanger, next time I want to hear more poem from you.
I wish to see you soon too. I will study hard.
Good boy.
Your Majesty, I am going to take the Prince to visit some nearby cities.
After that, we will go back to Qing Zhou.
Your Majesty, take care.
Lady De, take care.
Grand Marshal Wei is on his way back.
Supposedly, he will arrive tomorrow.
You can leave.
Yes.
Your Majesty. You summoned me?
Mother's death anniversary is coming.
With all the calamities, I must stay in the Palace.
The Empress hasn't got her title back.
So I think you should pay tribute for me.
Yes.
What's wrong?
Your Majesty.
What happened?
The Prince got hurt.
Lady De sent me to tell you.
Where is the closest military camp?
It's the Grand Marshal Wei's camp.
Hurry! Ask for his help!
-Yes! -The rest of you,
follow me to rescue the Prince.
Yes!
Wait! Poison gas!
Tear up your clothes and damp them with water. Cover your nose and mouth!
We must find Lady De and the Prince!
Yes!
Kanger!
Prince!
Kanger!
Prince!
Let's spread out.
-Spread out! -Follow me!
Yes!
Prince!
Kanger!
Where are you Kanger?
Kanger!
Wake up!
-Your Majesty. - I am here.
Here. I will get you out.
Alright?
Come on.
Ah.
Your Majesty, are you okay?
Kanger, keep walking. I will catch you up later.
No, we will walk together.
Where is Noble Consort Ning?
There is poison gas in the woods.
Noble Consort Ning is in the woods.
Let's go!
Prince!
Ningzhi!
- Still breathing. - Take him out.
What did you say?
Noble Consort Ning and the Prince got poisoned?
The messenger said it.
How are they doing now?
Luckily, Grand Marshal Wei was nearby.
He saved them.
Although they are weak now,
but they are fine now.
Alright. It's great they are fine.
Summon the doctors to check Noble Consort Ning.
As for the Prince,
put him in the Palace, I will watch him.
Yes.
Wei? It's Wei again.
How coincident
you show up right now?
Is going to happen what Dongfang said?
No way!
Your Majesty.
The Empress will be back in a few days.
So will Lord Ban.
Noted.
I need some air. I want to have a walk outside.
Your Majesty, you shouldn't go outside.
Why? The doctor said I am fine.
Your Majesty, His Majesty said you can't go outside.
Otherwise, we will be responsible for it,
His Majesty said no one shall come here expect himself and Lord Ban,
including the Empress and General Wei.
Please rest, your Majesty.
If you are bored, we can find something to amuse you.
Don't bother. I will stay here.
Yes. Your Majesty.
Noble Consort is here, your Majesty, you don't need to worry.
Noble Consort can always solve the crisis for Great Liang.
Our son chose a perfect Noble Consort.
Yes.
Master Chen.
Lord Ban. It's been a while.
Where is His Majesty?
He went to a Noble Consort's place. He won't be back to Guangxuan Palace until tomorrow.
The King is here!
Your Majesty.
You told me you will be back tomorrow. Why you are here now?
I miss your Majesty so much that I rushed back.
So I came back 16 hours early.
You did? You didn't have to. Your health is more important.
Why are you looking down? Didn't you wish to see me?
Ban Ling'er, why are you crying?
What happened? Tell me. I will help you.
I went to see Noble Consort Ning today.
What happened to Noble Consort Ning?
Noble Consort Ning is fine.
When we were chatting,
she kept talking about your Majesty. She must really love you.
But you went to other Consort
soon after she woke up.
I am the King of Great Liang. This is what I do.
I understand.
You can be with whoever you want.
I am just sad for Noble Consort Ning.
Alright. I won't go to other places.
People say she is an icy beauty. I can see that's true.
She was very aloof when I visit.
Otherwise, I wouldn't go to Guangxuan Palace.
Then, I shall not disturb you.
Your Majesty.
Now you are Lord Ban,
you won't do these anymore, will you?
Your Majesty, Noble Consort Ning is unwell.
Noble Consort Ning is not a petty woman.
I want to make you a Noble Consort, is that what you want?
My country is all yours.
Do you like that?
You love me so much,
off cause I love it. But the situation is rough,
could you please wait for a while before announcing it?
When do you want me to announce it?
The second day next month, it's my mother's birthday.
She almost died for giving birth to me.
So I want to choose that to tell her
that I marry the noblest and most powerful man in the world.
Fine. I will do what you said.
The second day next month, I will tell the world that you are my Noble Consort Ming.
How is praying?
Not bad. The situation is really awful.
Right. How is Mingzhi? Is she better now?
She hasn't got out for ten days. I haven't seen her for ten days.
I couldn't get any information form the doctors either.
Normally, she should be fine in couple of days.
Why she hasn't got out for ten days?
That stupid king forbids anyone visiting her, forbids her leaving the house.
And he placed guards outside WanXiang Palace. No one shall come in.
So she is being placed under house arrest.
Why would he do that?
I found it odd too. That's why I came to see you.
Your Majesty. My lord.
We have all heard about your praying stories. And you also investigated some corrupt officials?
How great is that!
Didn't you do many things as well?
How would I dare to compare myself to you?
I scheduled to leave. Excuse me.
Your Majesty.
She feels familiar to me.
Who?
Like that 18-year-old me
who don't know anything but was eager to thrive.
It's disgusting.
