There she is. Go!
Yes.
Long San run.
No way.
What about Yihuan if I'm gone?
She risked her life to send me signals.
Her shelter must have been exposed.
Though her flying skill is good
she still doesn't recover from serious injury.
She must be in danger now.
But I couldn't save her even if I went back.
what's more I will stuck myself in.
Yihuan ignored her own life to save me several times.
I kept running away every time.
So cowardly and selfish I am
how can I possess the morality to rule the world?
I'm not only Junior Long for Yihuan
but also the emperor of our country.
How can I spoil the ship for a halfpenny worth of tar?
Junior Long
just run!
Junior Long
Forget about your personal loyalty at this moment.
Don't act like a fool
or I'll look down on you.
Wicked girl!
Flying skill is so good while fighting skill just so-so.
Now I stab you in the foot.
How do your run?
Fetch her.
Yes.
You. Stand up.
Junior Long, run!
Never mind me!
Go.
Run!
Big brother.
Where's litter sister
and Kangxi?
It seems that they've already left.
Only one bed.
Big brother!
Qingcheng!
Are you Okay?
I'm fine.
Your injury hasn't recovered yet.
We've been avoiding their hunting all the way.
I'm afraid the wound opened again.
Go find them first.
It's more important to find them.
This place is safe for now.
You take a rest here for a while.
I'll go find them first.
I'll be waiting here in consideration of my difficulty in moving
Be careful.
Send me signal
if anything happens.
I will come back immediately.
Don't worry.
I just got hurt in my leg.
Common killers can't get close to me.
Okay.
My lord!
How it could be you!
Where's Yihuan?
We must save her!
Stand up.
running like flying just a moment ago
now you're pretending a dead body.
She's not pretending.
She's got seriously injured
and not recovered yet.
Now you stabbed her in the foot.
That's why she passed out.
Boss
she's so beautiful.
Childe Yingqi gave the order
to kill them all anyway.
How about we...
No way.
We are no match for her brothers.
We need keep her
to snare her brother.
We can just have some fun
a bit gentle.
It's not a big deal as long as she's alive.
Okay.
I can't wait any more.
Hold the knife.
Stop.
What's wrong, Lord Suo?
Welcome his majesty now!
But where?
Where's his majesty?
The one wearing a patch clothes is his majesty.
Greetings, your majesty.
Your majesty, I've come to rescue you so late.
I beg your majesty to forgive me.
If you came a few days later
I would probably be with the deceased emperor
and our ancestors.
A thousand deaths will not atone for my crime!
Your majesty, Lord Suo and Nasai
were attacked by unknown bandits on the way.
They got a close shave
and find the barracks of General Yu Bazan eventually.
He passed out as soon as arrived at the gate of the barracks
because of excessive loss of blood.
He had a hard time to escape from death.
After reading your majesty's secret message
he followed General Yu Bazan to Shanxi Taiyuan
with his unrecovered body.
And meet us on the way.
They got the news that your majesty has been on your way back to the capital
and kept tracing down to this place.
I've got it.
Arise.
Thanks your majesty.
Sis. Huan.
Wake up,Sis. Huan.
What are you doing...
What are you doing?
I...
Back off!
Little sister, I just...
Go away!
Little sister, I
I lost my mind
and can't help...
can't help?
Do you still have a sense of shame?
You know that I'm engaged to Big brother.
I'm the future crown princess of Da Ming.
You...
You also know that you're engaged to Big brother
and will ascend the crown princess of Da Ming in the future.
But you're still with Kangxi...
You can make out with the damn emperor of Da Qing
but have I become shameless
with just a kiss,haven't I?
How can you say something like that?
Go!
I don't wanna see you any more.
Little sister
I.. I'm wrong. I shouldn't do that.
Then let
me take you to the Big brother,okay?
You clearly know
where Big brother is waiting for us,don't you?
Why don't you take me to him?
What the hell are you gonna do by taking me to this cave?
I...
Go.
Back off!
I'll count three, two,one.
I'll chew off my own tongue to commit a suicide
if you don't leave!
All right all right!
I'll go. I'll go now.
Three!
I go now!
Be off!
It's been three days.
Why is there still no news of Li Yihuan?
We all get nothing.
Those man in black
don't look like Liu Dezhao's men
more like a bunch of roving bandits
hired by Liu Dezhao with a large amount of money.
Their unknown identities
make it hard to investigate.
Now there is no evidence that
those men in black
were under the command of Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui just think Long San is an ordinary imperial envoy sent by me.
He don't know Long San is me.
If he get the truth
Yihuan will be in more serious danger.
So you must keep it as a secret.
Yes your majesty.
Your majesty, don't worry.
I've already give the order
that anyone shouldn't reveal it.
And
To avoid waking a sleeping wolf
and putting your majesty in danger
My men and I
marched on secretly
without telling the local feudal official.
You've done well.
Your majesty
What shall we do with Liu Dezhao?
A daredevil Liu De Zhao is.
He won't resign himself to extinction.
It will be great
if they push him to rebel.
Your majesty
Liu Dezhao dared to give the order to list your majesty as wanted
making your majesty in danger
and my sister's life remain uncertain.
I beg your majesty
immediately give the decree
that he be executed
and the nine generations of his family be implicated.
As it comes to Liu Dezhao
It wouldn't dispel my rankling hatred
even if he were burned to dust.
I can deliver your majesty's decree to condemn
and arrest Liu Dezhao
for sharing your majesty's concerns
and avenging my sister.
Liu Dezhao
has managed Shanxi for many years.
If I just gave the decree to condemn him
he would know the truth
that I am Long San.
At that time I'm afraid he will be desperate like a cornered beast
to form alliance with all local officers involved in this case
to raise an army and rebel.
Even if he raised an army and rebelled
it wouldn't work.
Yu Bazan's men are crack troops from Eight banners.
Anyone of them can fight against ten men at the same time.
They will wipe them out.
Your majesty
I'm willing to give the military order
to bring your majesty Liu Dezhao's head.
No need.
The ones who committed heinous crimes.
is just corrupt officials like Liu Dezhao.
The troops in his hand
are also the people of Da Qing.
It's not necessary to evoke mutiny
that results in internal consumption.
Your majesty.
You mean...
Liu Dezhao must know
Long San was picked up by Yu Bazan.
He must be guilty.
If I expect it right
his memorial that used to impeach Long San
has already on the way to capital.
When I'm back to capital
I will send a experienced and prudent official
to meet him
and tell him
I've already seen
the memorials he and Long San sent in which they impeach each other.
But I can't be biased.
So I should let him come to the capital
to make confrontation with Long San face to face.
Your majesty.
You're too smart.
Liu Dezhao must
capitalize on the fake imperial edict and jade seal
with fluke mind for a try.
So
he will stand a good chance
to come to the capital for a confrontation.
Then
we can spend no cost
making him fall into the snare.
after he experienced such changes
and suffered so much humiliation he never bore before
he can still be so calm which I never thought.
I were him
I would lead troops in person to arrest Liu Dezhao
to release my feelings.
So strong opponent he is
that it's not easy for me to recover Da Ming.
Your majesty
in that case
then I beg your majesty
to go back to capital as soon as possible.
Yihuan's life still remains uncertain.
I worry about her.
You're right
Your majesty.
Her whereabouts is a mystery.
But it won't do you any good
to stay in Shanxi.
Jianqing, tell me
if Yihuan already...
It isn't possible that I will never see her again, is it?
Uncle, don't worry.
Yihuan will be Okay.
Have you got the whereabouts of Yihuan already
and just hold out on his majesty?
Though I'm not entirely sure
but I found a key clue too.
She is safe and sound.
Then why don't you bring her back now?
Ever since Oboi
revealed our real identities
Kangxi has kept his composure on the surface
but in fact became suspicious
of my sister and me.
But via several times
we risked our lives to save him
his vigilance must have been dispelled.
But if Yihuan went back to him
so easily
he would probably misread that
everything happened
is all kind of tricks of securing his faith by intentionally injuring ourselves.
Your concerns
are not misplaced.
However do you know that
not only his majesty
but also Songgotu start suspecting you secretly.
Songgotu?
Did he find out any flaw of us?
No, he didn't.
Just because on his way to deploy forces
he was attacked by several groups of killers
he doubt you was the man behind.
Now that he see his majesty favors and trusts you
and what's more Yihuan was kidnapped
in order to save him.
He doesn't dare to report this to his majesty
and only mentioned it to me in private.
So I let you meet me right away
to remind you
to beware of Songgotu.
Thank you to inform me, uncle.
I will act carefully.
Good.
Relief for me now.
Grandmother
is it news about his majesty?
Songgotu make someone sent the secret memorial
that Yu Bazan and he has already met his majesty.
His majesty
is safe and sound.
Amitabha.
I can stop worrying
finally.
But his majesty don't wanna go back to capital now.
Why?
before Songgotu deployed troops, he majesty had encountered
attacks from local officials
and mysterious killers
Thanks to Dr.Li and his sister risking their lives
his majesty could get out of dangerous situation.
In order to distract the killers
Li Yihuan was kidnapped
and her life remains uncertain.
As a maid-servants
It's Li Yihuan's duty
to sacrifice herself
for his majesty.
How can his majesty
don't go back to capital to look for her?
It is said in Songgotu's secret memorial
that attacks his majesty encountered
and disappearance of Li Yihuan
are very queer.
Could it be said that everything
is a trap set by someone?
Here you are.
Mum, you eat first.
I'm not hungry. You eat.
You're lying.
I can hear your stomach growling
Xi'er
Can you still recognize me?
Brother! It's you!
Xi'er, what are you eating?
potherb paste my mum cooked.
We've run out of rice and flour.
There' s nothing to eat but potherb.
My mum said a few days later
there's even no more potherb to eat.
You Childe is?
I was the beggar
who spared a half of baked roll from Xi'er that day.
And I'm here to fulfill my promise to Xi'er
to pay you back with baked meat rolls.
Really?
Mum, what did I say!
He won't lie to me!
Forgive me you childe.
I said something offensive to you that day.
I hope you childe with tolerance
not to lower yourself the same level as me.
It's all right, madam.
during this blank year
everyone can only look after himself.
Xi'er
can share a half of her only baked roll with me.
This kindness
deserves my undying gratitude.
Here you are.
baked meat roll? Yes.
Ten pieces of baked meat roll.
Have a nice meal.
Mum, you eat first.
Thank you you childe.
Madam
could I have this bowl of potherb paste?
Er...
I can tell from you appearance you Childe
are wealthy man with bountiful background.
How can you drink such thing?
Madam, here's the money for the paste.
How... how can I receive your money?
It's all right.
Here you are.
This is what I owe to you.
Trust me.
The new disaster relief measures is about to be released from the court.
At that time
no one can lie to you anymore.
Dr. Li
there isn't any news of Yihuan now
but I've decide to go back to capital tomorrow.
You won't blame on me, will you?
My lord, I won't.
You are the imperial throne.
It's no good to you to leave the capital for long time.
and Grand empress dowager has given an imperial decree
to ask you go back to the palace.
It's most important that
hundreds of thousands of victims
need salvation from the court.
There is a seemingly peaceful
but actually dangerous situation of the court
waiting for me to improve and rectify.
That's why Yihuan risked her life
to save me.
So
I can't fail her.
You majesty can lay emphasis on state affairs.
It's a fortune of my sister
a fortune of the common people in our country.
Please go back to capital confidently.
Let me
go rescue my sister.
I'm trying to
ask about where do the killers in black hide
via some chivalrous persons.
I believe
there will be news soon.
Then I will count on you.
In fact in my heart
you are not a liege
but a friend.
Yihuan
is my only confidante.
If she...
it would by my lifelong
regret that couldn't be remedied.
I'm so hungry.
My wound almost get recovered.
Or let me go out and get something to eat.
Roast chicken?
And wine?
Come in.
I've told you to back off.
I did.
I really did.
But...
Your injury hasn't recovered yet.
I worry about you.
And I figure out
the water
food and medicine I left for you
must have gotten run out of.
So
So I came back again.
If you really care for me
you should tell Bro. Zhu my whereabouts
and let him to pick me up.
I'm ashamed of seeing him.
I had a weird dream not long a ago.
I dreamed that someone played a joke on me
and I pushed him away, tell him to back off.
But since now my wound almost get recovered
I've already forgotten
that weird dream.
Really?
It's all right to forget about unpleasant dream.
But
it won't happen again.
Okay. Eat quickly.
Kangxi and Big brother
encamped just five miles ahead in the woods
I can't go any further.
Or it will alarm the invisible sentry in forest.
Bro. Ye
Hurry up. Go meet Sis. Qianying.
During these days
she's kept lying to Wu Yingqi for you.
She must have a hard time.
Keep this signal flare.
fire off it after I'm gone.
I don't wanna meet Big brother.
Take care of yourself.
Take care. Bro. Ye.
You too.
See you in capital.
Take care.
If I fire off this signal flare
Bro Zhu will see me.
If Bro. Zhu and Junior Long Know
that I came back safe and sound
they must be over the moon
like two little fools.
Bro. Zhu
come and pick me up quickly.
Wanxin
how is your injury?
It's fine.
Thanks for your majesty's concern.
When we were in palace
I just thought
You are gentle, erudite, educated and reasonable.
I didn't expect you to be so daring
to sacrifice yourself to save me so many times.
For this alone
no one in the harem
can match you.
Then
what about Yihuan?
Yihuan is also my confidant.
I want to make her my concubine
but
she don't agree.
And she has already been engaged to someone.
Your majesty.
I have one thing to report to you.
Lady Xue has recovered already.
But she is sad about my father's death
wants to stand as a guard for my father's tomb for three years.
I
gave permission on my own responsibility
before reporting it to you.
I beg your majesty to forgive my crime.
Lady Xue is loyal to her lord.
Let her be.
It's all right
to handle such trifle by yourself.
Okay.
Bro. Zhu
Do you see
the signal I sent you or not?
Why not come to pick me up?
Hi, sir
May I ask where's the military camp
quartered nearby?
Already gone.
They'd stayed for several days
and left this morning.
Go.
Bring that sword.
Let's start again.
No need.
As to fighting skills
I've never beaten you since childhood.
Not just fighting skills.
You can never win me
in any other way.
Yes.
I've been no match for you
from background to ability.
Then you're still dreaming
to take away Yihuan from me.
You overestimated yourself
Big brother, you've misread me.
I never think about taking Little sister away from you.
Is Yihuan with you or not?
This morning
I sent her back to the barracks.
Didn't you see her?
It's Okay as long as she gets back safe.
I've been out looking for you these days
instead of staying in the camp.
How did you know
I saved Yihuan.
After I found out Kangxi
that night
I kept tracing down those men in black
and found out that
they were all killed by only one stab of sword.
I can understand your swordsmanshipmore.
I knew
You went there
and saved Yihuan in time.
But I still came one step later.
Little sister's foot
was stabbed by them
and she passed out because of excessive loss of blood.
So I could do nothing but take her to a safe place
for healing her.
In this case
why do you neither send her back
nor give me signals?
I've sent so many signals to you.
You respond none.
I...
Don't make excuses for yourself.
You're a man.
You should dare to act and bear responsibility.
Okay.
I dare.
It's because it's been a long time since I met
Little sister.
It's so hard to see her finally.
I don't wanna split up with her so quickly.
I just wanna look after her a few more days.
I really just wanna take care of her for a few days. That's it.
Big brother
it doesn't matter that
you insulted me by what you said.
But you also insulted Yihuan
and yourself.
All right.
I believe you for now.
But you should remember.
Be aware of your own identity.
Or
I'm gonna kill you.
It's not necessary to take precautions against me like I were a thief.
My mind to Little sister
can't hurt you.
As for her mind...
What's wrong with her mind?
Why do you deceive yourself?
Although her fighting skills is just so so
as to flying skills
even you has no match for her.
But who did she sacrifice herself for?
It's not a big deal.
Qingcheng and I saved Kangxi too.
We just make use of him
to overthrow the regime of Da Qing.
Since you said so
please regard me as long-tongued.
I need to meet Sis. Fan in a hurry.
Excuse me now.
His majesty has been away from palace for more than one month.
It's time for him to come back if there's no other accidents.
what I think is the same as your highness too.
I woke up early this morning
hoping his majesty come back to palace quickly.
Grandmother
what's wrong with you?
Not me.
It's you.
Your makeup is too thick today
and your clothes too neatly.
I just wanna
dress up to welcome his majesty.
Do your highness think if I did it wrong?
that you over painted yourself
is
to please his majesty.
I've known that.
But you didn't notice that
his majesty
endured so much tribulation outside
and Li yihuan's
whereabouts still remains unknown.
It must be unpeaceful in his mind.
So you over dressing up
is the opposite to what you wished?
Your highness is right.
I will go back for a change now.
Greetings, grandmother.
Your majesty, arise quickly.
Come here.
Sit down. Sit down.
Arise, all of you.
Grandson
your incognito trip this time
must acquire a lot.
your spirit and manner
are different from before.
Grandmother
this tour of inspection
did benefit a lot.
I feel this trip
is more rewarding than what I acquired from then year's reading.
Then why
do you bend the brows?
In order to save me
Yihuan was kidnapped by a group of men in black.
Now her life still remains uncertain
and whereabouts unknown.
I'm very worried.
Saving your majesty
is her duty.
It's what she supposed to do.
It's her honor.
I will send someone
to bring her back.
Your majesty needn't be so sad.
My queen
It's my first time
to see you dress up so plainly.
Your majesty has endured so much tribulation
during your majesty's incognito trip to implement investigation and disaster relif.
I supposed to put myself in your majesty's shoes
and worry what the common people worry
so it's better to dress up plainly.
Thanks for your consideration.
Right.
There's one thing I wanna discuss with you.
You're welcome, you majesty.
No matter what happens
it's up to you.
You are in charge of the harem.
When it comes to the harem
your opinion is necessary.
This time Mistress Li followed me to implement this trip.
She even sacrificed herself
to save me for several times.
And her father died in line of duty
left her alone.
So I wanna promote her to Concubine Li
and confer the duke title of second class to her father
What's your opinion?
Mistress Li is gentle and kind-hearted.
I always favor her too.
This time her merits on protecting your majesty
should be rewarded.
Your majesty promote her to Concubine Li
is a big triumph in the harem.
I couldn't agree your majesty more.
Okay.
Then the promotion ceremony
is left to you to handle.
I will do my best.
Don't worry, your majesty.
Eunuch Li
You're buzzing for what.
Why are you so impolite?
What's wrong?
Didn't his majesty give the order that
once there's any news of Lady Li
or Dr. Li
we should report to him immediately?
What's wrong?
Is there any news of Yihuan?
Your majesty
There isn't yet.
It's just that Dr.Li came back.
Grandmother
let the queen have a chat with you for a while.
Excuse me first.
Take care. Your majesty.
So
do you find Yihuan?
Is she safe?
Didn't she go back to the camp to meet your majesty?
No!
I'm afraid when she went back
you'd already left.
She is safe though
just got hurt in the foot.
How is she now?
I've no idea.
How could you don't know?
why don't you come back with her?
Your majesty
I didn't find Yihuan.
But I found
some clues to prove that she'd escaped from those men in black.
So I thought
she's already come back
to capital with your majesty.
His majesty
is always of steady personality.
Only on hearing the news of Li Yihuan
he will lose his temper immediately.
Please ease your anger, grandmother.
Li Yihuan was kidnapped by mysterious men
in order to save his majesty.
His majesty inevitably worry about her and lose temple.
Yes, your highness.
These killer's identities
are kind of strange.
How?
On my way to ask for salvation
I encountered some groups of those killers too.
They seemed to know my whereabouts
so well.
And it's the same case with
the killers who tried to attack his majesty.
This shows
there must be hidden traitor
around his majesty.
the thirty bodyguards with his majesty during this trip
are all from the Eight banners that elected in person by you.
They couldn't be moles.
Eunuch Li has been into the palace since he was a kid
stayed in palace for thirty years
and served three generations of emperor.
He
can't be the mole too.
Could Dr. Li and his sister
be the hidden traitors?
They save his majesty for several times
and Li Yihuan was kidnapped this time.
are these
jus fake?
Do they prefer to suffer the Battered-Body Trick?
Li Defu
I'm here, your highness.
It's you who followed his majesty all the way.
After Songgotu deployed forces
You are by his majesty's side all the way.
Di you discover anything?
Your highness.
I
found that
nothing unusual about Dr. Li and his sister.
As to those killers
I've heard from his majesty
they seemed to be
Duke Pingxi's men.
These killers
are the same guy
who assassinated Shujian
and robbed the gold key.
Wu Sangu?
It's possible.
Could Dr. Li and his sister
are men of Wu Sangui?
According to my observation all the way
I didn't find that
there's any relations between Dr. Li, his sister and Wu Sangui.
Your highness
before there's tangible evidence
It's better not to come to conclusion so easily.
What I said
is just my own conjecture.
I hope your highness
not to take it too seriously
and tell his majesty.
Otherwise his majesty will blame me on
talking too much here.
Don't worry.
I have a sense of propriety.
Yes your highness.
Come and take a look!
Melon seeds.
Little bro, here you are.
Thank you.
Here's the money.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
My pleasure.
I've come back eventually.
Bro. Zhu, Junior Long.
You must be missing me!
Make a table of delicious food
to welcome me.
My lord, there's knife.
Grab him.
Don't move.
Let me go.
Don't move.
Let me go.
That guy is with him.
Grab him too.
Recover Da Ming!
Long live Da Ming! Long live Da Ming!
Don't move!
What are you doing!
You've grabbed the wrong person!
I don't know him at all.
I'm just a hitch-hiker because of my injured foot!
I'm not in league with him!
Then why were you runnning?
I... I see you grabbing rebel party.
I'm scared so I ran.
Yes. He is right.
I just gave him a ride.
Don't wrong him!
The more you distance yourself from him
the clearly I've got it in mind.
Take him away.
No! No!
I'm not...
I
Be obedient!
This is a girl.
How dare you say you're not from rebel party?
Ordinary women don't dress like men
deceiving the public.
Fetch them both.
I'm wronged!
Go. Move.
I can walk by myself.
I was wronged. my lord!
I was wronged.
I was wronged. my lord!
Let us go.
Official I was wronged.
Let me go.
I was wronged. my lord!
I beg your mercy.
Let us go!
We were wronged.
Let us go.
We were wronged.
I
I said you've grabbed the wrong person!
