What device did you employ What device did you employ to open the skylock? Its a piece of cake. Well. You are good at it. I wonder, before you came here, had you done anything similar? They are all histories No need to bring that up. I just want to know, his majesty's order is we get married at once after I arrive. But you've been putting it off. You're acting against the order and Ican send someone to report it and you'll be convicted. GG You are right. It's my fault for the poor arrangement. Please don't be mad. You want that? That's simple? Meet three of my conditions. First, I have the unlimited access to the mansion. Second, I want to ride your horse and leave the town now. Don't worry. l won't go anywhere. Besides, your horse is quite slow, which makes it difficult for me to run away. Third. I haven't decided it yet. You shall wait. I agree with the first condition. But why do you want to leave the town? I was so embarrassing at the gate today. I have to save my image. I reckon you won't go anywhere. If you run away, cutie pie will die. I told you Iwon't run away. Just save my image. Right. General. She has made the promise and she will keep it. Fine. CG I'll give the order now to let you leave the town. Thank you, general.

Didn't you say you don't know how? No. Who told you I won't ride? lwill. Get on then. But you area man, we shouldn't be too close. You are my lady, so the rule doesn't apply. I'm a general after all. If llead the horse like a stable boy, won't it be embarrassing for me? Don't think too much. I just want to protect you, nothing more. Let's go. General. General. General. General. General. General. General. You may rise. Look carefully. I'm general's lady. What a good day with the bright sunlight The life must be enjoyed in full. Now I've saved my image, just the horse is not good enough. General, you have to change a horse. It's too slow. Whatever, you don't believe me. See? It doesn't move. Jin. Sit tight. Do you like it here? sands, do not laugh, m'friend! have come back at battles'end? I have been seeing the good view, but I don't like it. Are you worrying about me? Why do I worry about you? I'm your husband. Who else will you worry about? It's only in name. And I'm like a bird in cage. General, when will you give me back my freedom? From now on, you have access to every parts of the mansion. If you want to go out, tell me. I'll send someone to escort you. Can I go to your room and your study? Yes, you can. Great. Let's take another tour. It's good. What's this? Why haven't I had it before? It's made specially for you. The soup has jujube, peanut, longan and lotus seed, with the wish for you to have a baby soon. I doubt that. The general allowed you to live here, which means he has taken you as his wife. I think you'll consummate tonight. We didn't You will tonight. You're the first lady who can live here. Please enjoy. The first lady? General. Look. What did I say? Isn't he coming? Look! Let's go! Go! None of us should disturb them tonight. Go. Jin, you've mistaken this. I didn't let you to live here because we can sleep together. What do you mean? We're nominally married, but we are not actually a couple. It's fine with me. The others have decorated here, not me. Then we're good. Since you've said we're nominally married and not actually a couple. Please sleep somewhere else. No! Why not? Are you up to no good? I won't agree. First, you can live here because you've forced me to do it. I forced you? Your bed's so soft I don't care, I want your room, whether you agree it or not. It seems I've done that. But it doesn't mean you can live with me here. you can live with me here. I'm not done talking. Second, we're not actually a couple, but we're nominally married. What will the others think of me if I don't live here? If the capital knows, our heads will be on spikes. That makes sense. What shall we do? Don't tell me we'll sit here, waiting for the daybreak every day. Quite simple. We'll live here from now on. I'll sleep on the bed, you the couch. We won't bother each other. Why isn't it I the bed and you the couch, and we don's bother each other? Jin, I've been sleeping on this bed so many years. How could others use it? Well, l'll change my clothes. Then. Clean the mess up now! Or I'll throw them out! What's wrong? Isn't this the way we find clothes? Besides, these're all the necessities. I can't lose any of them. You don't want to tidy up or throw them away? Fine, l'll help you! Give it to me! I'm sorry. Don't do it again. You'd better clean these things up. It'll be better for everyone. Speaking of that, I've got something to say. Since you said you want to sleep on bed, then the other places are belong to me. Don't cross the line. Then . Not the door, of course. We can share that door. We can share that door. Fine. Whatever you say. The big general should keep his words. What a gentleman! He wants a lady to sleep on a couch! He's really a General Demonl To think Qing Qiu told me I'm the first lady who can live here. told me I'm the first lady who can live here. He has behaved worse to his three wives before? Good morning, my lady. Good morning. Good morning, my lady. Good morning. Good morning, my lady Good morning. Good morning, my lady. Here's your soup. Qing Qiu, tell them to take these things away. What? My lady, you don't like this style? Why don't you take them away first? And Qing Qiu, I've heard the general's three wives all died in their boots. Why's that? Nonsense! They're all rumors! The general hadn't even seen them. The general hadn't even seen them. Really? The general is already in the study, my lady. I'll help you to wash up. We'll bring tea to him after you take this soup, all right? All right. My lady. My lady, your mother sent you a letter. What did she say? She said everything is alright. And she told me to learn needlework instead of playing around all day since I'ma wife now. There is an embroidery pattern attached to it. I miss the desserts she made. My lady, wait me for a while. Let me make some for you. Okay. You've crossed the line! Why are you taking my thing? Chu Xiuming, what are you doing? What do you mean? Give it back to me. Jin, get out of the town with me now. You have to ask for help sometimes? I'm not asking. It's an order. Why should I listen to you? This is important. You have to go with me. It has to be me? It has to be me? OK. What's your condition? - I want to sleep on your bed. - You.

No. I have to find a way out. Lock of the Fallen Pair. You know that? Back then, my father didn't like me at all and my sisters always locked me in the room. I've seen lots of locks in my pursuit for freedom. It is said that a famous thief made the lock. He fell in love with a young lady from a rich family. To be close to her, he sneaked into the imperial palace at night and stole the luminous gemstone, which was then locked in a box. He wanted to give it to the her. But when he met the lady again, she had already died from sickness. He then killed himself and died for love. Died for love. Just imagine it. Many wanted the gemstone but no one could open this lock. Fugacious love. Reminiscent pain. What if I just made the story up? Please open the lock. Open the lock. This. What's the difficulty? What's wrong? Please tell me. Turn over. This won't work. No. This is good. That's it. What are you doing with my hair? Don't take me wrong. It's for opening the lock. Don't take me wrong. It's for opening the lock. It worked! For me, nothing is locked indeed. But this lock is really impressive. Thanks to you. My hair really helped? Everyone's hair will work the same. Why don't you use your own hair? That hurts. I'm not a fool. Only fools pull their own hair. You. Get out of my way. It is scary enough. Why do you scream with me? You freaked me out! This. Bat. Ba. Bat! Have they gone? Have they gone? Chicken- hearted. How can you be frightened like that? What's this place? It's cold and dark. I can do it myself. It's so dark here. Don't try to take advantage of me. Be careful. A lot of bats here. Maybe there're other dreadful stuffs here. Don't bother me before you clean those up. Jin! Jin! Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming. Jin. Where are you, Chu Xiuming? Come in, now! There is a coffin here. There may be something scary in iy. There may be something scary in iy. Where are you? Come in and get me out. Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming. Get me out! Chu Xiuming. Chu Xiuming. I won't put peppers in your clothes again. And I won't take advantage of you anymore. Please. No. No one is more dependable than myself. I will get out of here. I can get out. Chu Xiuming, how can you do this? How can you bring me here? It's so dangerous with hidden weapons. You just want to kill me, right? I'm in here. Kill me now! Alright. You just missed the chance. I'm going out now! I'll find the way. I will tell His Majesty you didn't marry me as he ordered. What? Another hidden weapon? What a general! Why do you set so many hidden weapons? I don't believe I can't find the way out Okay, I admit that I can't find the exit. If you don't want to kill me, then let me out now! Wait! Hidden weapon again? So all your fortune and your big mansion come from here? Don't talk nonsense. So petty. There is another box? We are going to be rich. Let's go. General Demon, we finally make it out. You are emboldened to call me General Demon now. to call me General Demon now. But what is it? Why do you have to bring it out? Why do you have to bring it out? Don't ask. This is important Don't tell anyone about this. Alright. I won't. You are hurt? It's okay. How could it be okay? You are bleeding! Let me look at it. I'm fine. It's time to go. I have to check on your wound. I'm here to tend your wound. Does it hurt? No. All these wounds don't hurt? These are all histories. How could they hurt again? Why do you have so many wounds? Are you afraid? If you are, ask panther- head to do it. I am. I worry about your old wounds, and I'm afraid that you may get hurt again. Nobody has ever said this to me. I've never said it to others either. Did you say it because I protected you from that arrow in the tomb? Thanks to that arrow. You didn't have to care for me, but you did get hurt because of me. AIthough it is not long after I knew you, you are completely different from the General Demon I learned from others. What's the difference? You are stubborn, because you have to guard the country. Your notorious name of killing comes from the need of frightening the enemies and protecting the people. These are my duties. I messed around in the mansion, but you were surprisingly tolerant and never blamed me. That's because I thought you werea spy. It seemed that I didn't restrain you, but in fact, I kept an eye on you in secret. What about now? I should apologize to you. I mistook you asa spy. Chu Xiuming. You are the real spy. What do you mean? I was angry when I married you, but I never expected I would meet a demon that is more like a human. I was treated as a spy, I was treated as a spy, but I never expected I would meet a general that is righteous and faithful. I was desperate, but I never expected I would fall in love with the general. Chu Xiuming, I said Ifell in love with you. Do you hear me? I am the infamous so- called General Demon. I killed a lot of people. General, I heard that you are hurt. How are you now? My lady. It's just a bed. Why do you blush and glow with affection? Cutie pie. Decorate the room as you did it last time. Why? You should know it. The general and I. I and the general. What? What should I know? I am too young to know what you're talking about. Forget it. Get a pair of wedding candles. What for? There must be wedding candles for consummate night. That's right The night of consummate of consummate with candles? And alcohol. Do general and the lady fall asleep? Why is it so quiet? How can they fall asleep? What do you think they're doing? They're. You're too young to know that. Are they doing what is described in books? Are they doing what is described in books? Which book? You'll know it when you get married. Qing Qiu, tell me. Which book? Tell us about it. It's the. Um... Reach for the sky together. And golden love. Get it? Divorce Certificate General. 凶跽 My lady. Aren't you supposed to stay in the room? You weren't rejected by general again, were you? Don't mention that bastard. Out of the way. Chu Xiuming, stop. What do you mean? What I mean is all in the letter. Chu Xiuming, you like me. Why do you deny it? How long are you going to pretend? Look at me. I'm telling you to look at me. Look at me. Listen to me. Your eyes, eyebrows, and nose are saying you like me. Jin, you misunderstand it. What do I misunderstand? Do you really want to divorce me? Yes, ldo. I never break my promise. OK. Give me a reason. A man should aim up high. Besides, as you said, Ihave the responsibility. And you have no time for romantic relationship? What happened last night is not a part of romantic relationship? You made the move. But you didn't push me away. Was that just my wishful behavior? z From now on, I'll be at the camp all the time. It'll never happen again. Don't use that damn excuse of being torn between career and love. I'm not a person who you can divorce casually. I've divorced you. Leave right now. Go to the camp you've been missing. If I'll leave has nothing to do with you. Get rid of all these. Throw them away! My lady. General is back in the camp. Do you know that? Don't mention the camp to me. Or the general. Didn't you get along well yesterday? Why do you fall out aftera night? It's worse than that. The general has divorced me. So you are a deserted wife now? He can't divorce me as he wishes. This is the order from His Majesty. Even he hides in the camp, I won't give up on it. I'll wait here in the mansion. I bet he'll come back. What if he doesn't come back? Then I'll go to the camp. I must find out why he wants to divorce me. What if he won't let you in? Cutie Pie, you're right. I have to find a way to get into the camp. General, recruits are here. 6 The third one. Line up! Line up! Can't you hear...? Can't you hear? Why... Why are you here? General, I'm the recruit. Nonsense. I'm here following the rules on the recruiting notice. What I want are real men who can defend the country. Exactly. I want to Iearn from you. Aim up high and take the responsibility. A man should aim up high. Besides, as you said, I have the responsibility. Besides, the notice didn't say it has to be man or has to be male. You never break you promise. Do you really want to divorce me? I never break my promise. I am qualified. How can you break your promise? OK. Let others aside, do you know you have to be tested if you want to be my soldier? At your discretion. No matter how dangerous it is, just bring it on! You、Come here. It's you. Let's start. ， OK. 、 、You win. You. Come here. That was too fake. What part do you mean? My lady. Every part. The sandbag looking so heavy are full of cotton. You think they are stupid? And on the stage, you bent before I started attacking. Couldn't you at least make a move? My lady, let alone a move. I can't make half a move. If I hurt you, can I still stand here now? Please let me off. Right, where's Chu Xiuming? It's General. Cut the crap. Tell me. Just this once. They even have the fixed bath time. They are so many of them. When can I shower then? I should have stayed still. Then I wouldn't have sweated. Can I go back to the mansion? It's pretty far away. I can't go back and forth every day. Taking shower? I'm taking the walk after the meal. This basin is for my face. There are dust on my face after the long day. If you need a bath, go to my tent. Why should I go to your tent? Haven't you divorced me? I'd rather being dirty than go to your tent. Chu Xiuming You didn't give me a weapon, or let me eat supper. Now I can't take a bath. You tortured me with food, and you want to take advantage of me? You wish! You're finished? Here. Here. My lady. Panther- head, where's my bedding? Your bed has been prepared. Let me take you there. Panther- head. This is general's tent. He let me sleep here? Right, my lady Tell the general. I volunteered to join the army. So I should be treated like other soldiers. Besides, why didn't he discuss with me, but made a decision for me? I won't go. Moreover, general should know that I'm not qualified to go to his tent. My lady s. ...Stop quarreling with general Take me to the tent for recruits right now. It's a long day. l need rest. Please General. Well. If she wants that, then give her that. Soldiers don't dare to offend her. Yes. Fold it for me. OK. I'm tired. I'll sleep now. It's quite a long day. I'm tired. Everybody. Where's my bed? Or I can sleep outside. No. No. Don't. Don't. Come back. Come back. Hurry. Hurry. I didn't mean that. Panther- head, they It's okay. But there's training tomorrow. They need rest. Well, is there any other place to sleep in? My lady, don't worry They are all rough men They sometimes sleep in the wild while training. Just have a good rest here. No. They may die on the battlefield. I may die of itch in the camp. What a shame! It's so late. Everyone should be sleeping. And no one would see me. Stop. Who's it? Come out! Or we'll get in! What happened? My lady. General, the lady is here. You must be tired these two days. The tea is from the mansion. Drink some. General, just speak your mind. I've violated rules. So I should be punished. General. If you don't want to go back, you must stay in my tent every night, and have a bath here. You gave me the divorce certificate, so I'm not your wife now. Why do you care so much about me? What do you want, General? There are all men here. It's not easy for you to take the bath or sleep. And everyone here knows you're a woman. How can you live with them? Why should I follow everything you said? You must sleep here. There's just one room. How should we sleep? I'll sleep on another bed. We won't bother each other in one room. Chu Xiuming. There you go again, keeping yourself clean of everything. Since I volunteered to join the army, I have my plan. Mind your own business. As long as you don't mess around, and live here quietly, I'll give you whatever you ask. Can you give anything I want? A gentleman never goes back on his word. Good, General. I didn't sleep well last night. I was very tired. I want a drink to relax. You know it is forbidden here. How can you...? I'm just a woman. I don't know what s forbidden here. You said you could give me what I ask. I just ask for wine. You're the general. Why don't you have it? OK. Will you listen to me if I give you wine? As long as you give me wine, I'll listen to you. How often can we be truly happy in one life? When the chance comes, being drunk is the best company. It's so fun. A beautiful view. And wine to drink. You're really thoughtful. I knew you had wine. But you've broken the rules. If you drink in camp, I can't imagine how much trouble you'll make. Chu Xiuming. You really think l'm your soldier? Listen to me, I'm your wife appointed by His Majesty. Listen to my advice. Don't think too high of yourself. Don't you know you have a bad temper with a poker face every day, and very impersonal. What are you doing? Haven't you divorced me? Don't touch me. It's said a woman's mind is delicate and hard to guess. But you are a man. You were so inconsistent on your behavior. I protected the mansion for you. I came to camp for you. I've done a lot of things for you. But you wanted to divorce me and drive me away. You used to take me as your wife and call me warmly. But now, you don't even look at me. I'm nothing to you now! U'm nothing to you now! Call me Jin again, as I am your wife. See? Youjust won't do it. Look at your cold face. There's a lake God bless me. God bless me. I can take a bath finally. There's a lake. Watch it. Jin. Jin. Jin. You're drunk and drenched. Its dangerous here. Put on your clothes. You words are strange. How can I take a bath with clothes on? But god bless me. I can take a bath in the lake. Chu Xiuming. Did you just call me Jin? Did you? I blurted it out of emergency. I'll never say it again. Do as you please. But why don't you face me? Why don't you turn around to take a bath with me? Take the bath then put your clothes on after it. I'll wait for you up there. It's wilderness around here. There are only tow of us here. And Idon't have much clothes on. Do you dare to look at me? Stop the nonsense. It's not nonsense. Are you a man? Do you dare to look at me? You're drunk and the lake is deep. Go up right now. Chu Xiuming. We're Iegally married. You not only divorced me, but now you don't even look at me. Listen to me. If you don't look back, I'lI never go up there. If you're still angry because of the divorce certificate, I can apologize to you. But you must go up and get dressed right now. You are drunk and the lake is deep. What if. Jin! Wake up! Wake up! What are you doing? You took advantage of me while I was drunk? What did you do to me? Say it! Don't get me wrong. You were drowning. I did that to save you. Who knows. No one else knows you wanted to divorce me. Even you did something, no one would know. Chu Xiuming. Listen. When I go back to the camp, I will tell them everything. I will tell them everything. I will let your soldiers know who you really are! You! Can you just act like a lady and behave yourself? When did I not behave? Yes, l'm not like a proper lady. Sorry to let you down! I'm like this because you made me. You made me homeless, and I can't either stay at your mansion nor your camp. You think I can just go home with a divorce certificate? If my mother knows. Right. If she knows, she will be devastated. And my father will also be disappointed at me. And my sisters, they will laugh at me and bully me. How will they see me after they know this? I came all this way to marry you, and you are the only reliance I got. But why do you have to be mean to me and want to divorce me? At least you can give me a reason. Why? I've made up my mind, and it's settled. If you are afraid, I can go back with you and tell you parents myself that you've done nothing wrong and it's my fault. You're just saying and trying to soothe me. I don't believe it? Ipromise you. As long as I can do it. You mean it? Yes. l promise. It's getting dark. We have to go l'm too tired. Can you carry me? OK. It's the end of my help. General. General. 7. . That's not the plan. That's not the plan. What do you mean? Why did you try to kill the general? Iheard the General Demon is a good fighter, and indeed, you are a gallant and brave just as our warriors. Please don't misunderstand it. This is my daughter, Maya. She is a naughty kid. She is a naughty kid. I didn't expect she would do this. I brought her here to show her the soldiers to show her the soldiers in your army. Apologize now! No need I am really sorry to hurt the princess. Panther- head Go fetch the doctor. ∴∵ Yes. No need. It's nothing. Don't worry about it. Right. She was brought up just like a boy. She always get hurt, so its nothing for her. General, we have already played against. No discord, no concord. We are friends now. The princess is quite straightforward But, if you are really sorry, can you let me stay here for a few days? I heard there is a busy market here. But I never had the chance to come here I don't see why not. In that case, thank you for letting my daughter stay here for a few days. Maya, never do this again. Donlt worry. JJ She will be well served. Did Icatch the cold? My lady, what are you doing? Hurry upl General! Why is the mansion...? Are you okay? I'm really sorry. It will cause a lot trouble if you stay in the camp. So, please stay in my mansion for now. There are women here who can take care of you. You are really thoughtful. General, you are back? Where is the lady. Tell her to come here. She went out with cutie pie. They will be back soon. Find an outfit for her from the lady's wardrobe. Yes. Princess, please come with me. You promised to teach me how to use sword. Don't break your promise. General. This must be the sister. Sister? Why do you call me the sister? General, who is this? Jin. This is the Hawk Princess Maya. Hawk Princess? Why do you come here and wear my cloth? It's my fault. What did you do? Princess and I had a fight. I hurt her by accident Hurt? Where did you get hurt? It's okay. It's normal to get hurt in a fight. Besides, no discord, no concord. We are friends now, don't be too polite to me. You. It seems you don't know how to behave yourself or there are boundaries between a man anda woman? Why are you doing this, sis? Don't call me that. I am not your sister. Jin. How can you speak like this? Apologize to the princess. You want me to apologize to her? General, don't blame her for it. I must have done something wrong. No. Stop acting innocent. Alright, Jin. Go back... . to where you came from. Alright- Aren'tyou busy? You have nothing to do? - We have some business. Make yourself comfortable. What's wrong about you? Why do you stop me? Enough. You care about her? Do you care about her? Is it because she is beautiful? - Enough. When did she come? - Why don'tI know? - Stop it. Tell her to get outl Let her go! Let me down. Don't be too harsh on her. Let me down. Hurry. Chu Xiuming. Talk to me, Chu Xiuming. Let me down! Chu Xiuming, let me down. Why are you stopping me? Let me down now! Hurry up and let me down! Why are you so angry? l'm just angry. l'm very very angry. Even if you are angry, you shouldn't be mad at the princess. You're worrying about her? Why should I worry about a stranger? I worry about you. I'm afraid it will cause you trouble if you annoyed her. It's true? I never lie. Alright. Tell her to move out. She can't live here. I can't She is the princess of the hawk after all. It's not worth it to offend her for these trifles. Trifles? These are trifles? Jin. Are you being jealous? You are right I'm jealous. You are cute this way. And I'm happy about it. Chu Xiuming. l'm serious. Don't try to change the topic General. How dare she to come again? Isn't she afraid that I will kill her? No, what do you mean? Why are you stopping me? Why are you stopping me? Jin. - Won't you kick her out? Don't pull me. A short ranged blade is best for its mobility. A long drawn battle is great for its unpredictability. Everything has its strengths and weaknesses. Speed is a soldier's best asset. I really thought that he only likes me. My lady, let's just go back, alright? Chu Xiuming, you asked me to trust you, right? Jin, stop messing around. Quick, go home. Cutie pie, please send her back. My lady. My lady. I've lost. And I concede it. My lady My lady For Xiuyuan, you have to suffer a little for now. What is she saying? I don't understand a thing. What lost? Is it because she failed to hide us from you, that's why she lost? Yes. My lady. My lady, you're making me worried. Either you say it, or you can swear, or you can cry. Don't just be silent. You are making me so worried. General is a jerk. He's like a rotten melon, disloyal douche bag. Just because he's a general, he is so arrogant and does everything he wants He's the demon, just like what everyone says. He feeds on flesh and drinks blood. 口 He's not- He. He. He's horrible! A demon! Jin'er, mayIcome in? My lady, it's the general. My lady, it's the general. No! My lady doesn't want to see anyone. Please go back, general. Go back to your thing. Go look for your princess Maya. My lady. My lady, was I too fierce towards the general just now? Will he kill me? Thank you. Thank you for always staying by my side, cutie pie. My lady, you've got to protect me. I've got to stay alive to spend my life with Susu. I got it. Don't worry. My lady, listen to me this time. I promise you'll be safe and won't be in danger. What do you have in mind? Brother, you're magnificent when you lead the troops. When it comes to the lady, why are you so clumsy and dense? There are something she shouldn't know. If she knows, she will worry about it. Just let her misunderstand me for now. Right now, I just want to shelter her from all these troubling matters. This is the best protection for her. She is a clever girl. She came this far to marry you and is devoted to you. But how can she meet you, who can't love her back? You may not always be right. What you think is good is not necessarily good. You should ask her what does she want and need. Maybe she needs to weather the hardships with you. Maybe she needs to be your pillar of support, someone you can rely on when you're tired. Maybe she doesn't want to be an ivy, always relying on you. lnstead, she needs you to be each others'support, Before she came, I was like a lone wolf. like a lone wolf. I don't have to worry a thing for my any decision. But now, l always feel the fear. I don't know how to handle these feelings. And I don't know what to do. I'm trying to be good to her, yet I always end up pushing her away. Brother, if you keep doing things your way, and drive her away, you'll really end up alone for your whole life. l know that. Forget it Forget it l will say no more. Brother, it's your decision to make. Cutie pie, l'm really hungry. Cutie pie, l'm really hungry. My lady, you must press on. Once you lose weight day by day, the general will worry about you and regret. Only then can he know how to care for you. But I'm really hungry. Hold on. My lady, have some water. You won't be hungry after you drink. Look. General has been here for 5 times. The more he can't see you, the more anxious he'll get. When it's the right time, we'll take him down in one shot. Is the princess still around? Have some more. I've asked Yun'er to watch her. Don't you worry. Cutie pie, I've starved fora day. Have I lost any weight? I don't think so. Don't drink anymore. What if you swell from all the water? Actually, l'ma bit hungry too. I miss buns, dumplings, Beggar's chicken and spicy sauce duck. Cutie pie, stop it. I really can't do this anymore. Right now, in the kitchen there's surely some leftover soup and sides, or vegetables and rice. How about we go sweep them clean? Didn't you say that I need to lose weight? That's what I said but I've been starving with you for a day, and yet there's no change at all. If we keep on starving, and something happens to me, what should I do? Susu won't let it happen. Cutie pie, you're really good to me. How about you come with me, but eat only a little? Let's go. My lady, remember to be careful. Don't make a single sound. Alright. Let's go. How do we eat these? My lady, look here! Beggar's chicken and roasted pork. Whatever you want! They're your favorites. There are more here! They're still warm. I don't care. I am blessed by the gods. For Susu and my happiness, I must eat now. We should eat in our room, to avoid being seen. That's true. Let's go back and start the fight tomorrow. My lady. There are more? Are we taking them all? Alright. Well. Well. How do we take it? I'II make a trip back first, then I'll come fetch you. Why am I left here alone? You're the lady. If they found you, they won't say anything. Alright. Go. Hurry. Go. I guess she's taking the food for the lady. Prepare the best dishes for her every night. Do it secretly, and don't let anyone know. Or she will be angry again. I got it, my lord. You've done so much for the lady. Why don't you let her know? Once I've thought things through, I'll tell her everything. And I will no longer hide anything from her. It's getting late. My lord, are you still going back to camp? Jin refuses to see me. What's the point of me staying? Please take care of her. Don't worry, my lord. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted you. I just got jealous. Seeing other women around you, Seeing other women around you, I got angry. Just like a lunatic. You almost scared me to death. I thought you wanted to leave. I thought you were here to say goodbye. And I didn't dare to say anything. I was afraid that you would leave and I'd have no reason to make you stay. You do. The reason is you're Chu Xiuming. You're such a tease. I was moved by you, yet now I don't know if I should laugh or cry. 'm the one who doesn't know if I should laugh or cry alright? What are you saying? I know you are keeping things from me. But I'll keep waiting. I'lI wait for the day when you'll open up, when you're willing to be honest with me. I'll wait for you. It's good to see you and Lord Jin to tie the knot at last. But it's a pity you haven't held a banquet for wedding. I didn't cared her enough. I owe her too much. It's time for me to promise to care for her the whole life. I'm so tired these days! l've been fighting with bitches, but it turned out to be a mistake. And I almost take my Demon wrong. You shouldn't lower your guard. If it's my Susu, I won'tallow him with any female around, let alone the general. You two owe the name of couple, but you haven't held a wedding. Why don't you hold it now? You're right AII we lack is a wedding ceremony. I do want to hold the wedding, but the situation now is not optimistic. Ministers in the court are hostile. There're many risks. don't want to drag Jin'er into this. You're right. I must hold the wedding ASAP in case of incidents or others'plots My wedding must be grand! I'll invite all the people nearby to enjoy the banquet! You're quite rightl Our wedding must be held secretly, only the reliable people can be informed. You're quite right. 'l tell all the people in this world with fanfare that Shen Jin is going to marry the general! You're quite right! I'll tell Jin right now. I'll see him right now! I'll see him right now! Go, my ladyl Go, my lady! Jin'er. I have something to tell you. I have something to tell you too. Let's get married. Why'reyou so late, hurry upl- Coming! Other things were all set.

AII right, all right. Hurry up! It's done. Z Your thumb print. OK. Happy now? I'|| print one, too. So, my lady, what do you want to do with your captive? Tell me, have I captured your body or your heart? Both of them. The wind speaks with your tone Talking about the rain falling in the distance pause in the dream Counting the years of memory Waiting for that passionate love I'd trade a lifetime of prosperity for a life of suffering Drink a bottle of wine and seal up the story Love is the residual warmth of the world The flowers bloom and fall leaving traces behind Keep the innocence in the passing years. Only for you. Love is the first spring in the wilderness Quietly open my heart No matter what happens I'll always be Ioyal to you
