[Pregnant] Congratulations, Madam. You're pregnant. Doctor, are you sure? Madam, don't worry. With my experience, I won't make a mistake. I'll write some prescriptions for your fetus. Madam, please wait. Your Highness. Your Majesty. Your Highness, what's on your mind? (I need to resolve this quickly.) I am happy and grateful that Your Majesty is taking a stroll with me. I should be the one thanking you. If not for your help in persuading Mr. Prime Minister on my behalf, the court might have lost a great official. I will definitely regret it. Your Majesty, don't say that. With Your Majesty's long-time relationship
with my father, he would not bear grudges over such a small matter. Although he is stubborn at times, he means no harm to the people. Even if I don't lobby, my father will still act in Your Majesty's interests. Noble Consort Lan. Thank you for your trouble. Noble Consort Lan, you must be tired. Have a good rest. I will leave first. See you, Your Majesty. Your Highness. Your Highness. Are you okay Your Majesty? What's wrong? I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I am just feeling giddy. If you are not feeling well, we should call for the imperial doctor. -Eunuch Zhang.
-Your Majesty, there's no need. It might be the frequent traveling to my family home that caused me exhaustion. I'll be fine after a rest. Let's not bother the imperial doctor. Your Majesty. Your Majesty has been overworked recently, and she even lost her appetite. That's why she feels weak. Alright, go to the Imperial Kitchen and ask them to prepare food that Her Highness enjoys. Go quickly. Yes, I'll go now. Your Majesty. It is lonely to eat alone. Can you stay and have a meal with me? Okay. Your Majesty. This wine is a recent tribute from Fars. The Imperial Doctor said
it helps calm your nerves. If you drink this regularly, it will keep Your Majesty healthy. I drink to Your Majesty's health. This wine is smooth indeed. Since Your Majesty likes it, have some more. Seeing Your Majesty in a good mood puts me in a good mood too. Let's drink. To Your Majesty. -Your Majesty.
-Bottoms up. Be careful, Your Majesty. Walk slowly. How could I be so careless? In order to prevent Siyu from getting pregnant, I've been taking medication. How could she... Your Majesty, I've asked the physician. He said that once you stop taking the medicine, it's easy for her to get pregnant. Ziqi, as you know, Du Zhi'an has been wanting to use Siyu's child as a backup, to replace me if we fall out. Do you think I should keep this child? Your Majesty,
even if the Du Family has such thoughts, as long as you take precautions, I think it can be avoided. Moreover, it's your child after all. It'll benefit the people to have successors in the imperial family. Your Majesty, you must think carefully. I know that this child is innocent. So I'll take the bet. Siyu, I told you long ago, no matter how severe
the conflicts between a couple, with a child, anything can be resolved. Siyu, looks like you and His Majesty can patch things up with each other. My wife, are you still dreaming that Siyu can reconcile with His Majesty? Of course. Mother, I've lost all hope in him. His Majesty has been so cruel to Father and me. From now on, I won't have any more feelings for him. Siyu... Father, no matter what, you must ensure that I give birth to a son. Okay. Don't worry, Siyu. Since you've decided, I'll definitely help you. My Lord, it's a great offense to lie to the emperor! So what? His Majesty has hurt me and cheated
me again and again. So what if I lie to him this time? But if you really give birth to a daughter, would you bear to replace her? Even if I have to sacrifice my own flesh and blood, I'll make sure Feng Lin loses everything. Did you hear it clearly? Du Zhi'an really plans to do so? Yes, I heard it clearly. Tell me, is that child yours? I believe that it's His Majesty's. Yuncui, I hope that you'd forget everything between me and her. It's easy for me to forget, but I'm scared that you won't be able to do so. Let's think about how to guard against Du Zhi'an's scheme. Your Honor, this is the list of pregnant women
whose expected dates of childbirth are close to Miss's. Well done, Ai. You must watch these people closely. They may be of use in the future. Yes, Your Honor. -I'll watch them closely. -Good. I've made Zheng leave yet again. Your Majesty, given what's happening in the harem, it's not a good time for Her Highness to come back. Your Majesty,
your relationship with the Prime Minister is already crumbling. If Her Highness appears now, it'll only worsen your relationship. This will make it difficult for you to protect her. Moreover, Noble Consort Lan is pregnant. If they meet each other, it won't do either of them good. Your Majesty, why don't we wait for a better time to bring Her Highness back? Ziqi, I understand. But just thinking about Zheng having to lead a wandering life without any support breaks my heart. Zheng, I must find you. When the time is right, I'll take you back to the palace personally. Siyu, you're going to give birth next month. You must be careful. There mustn't be any accidents. Here, have some soup. Thank you, Mother. -Siyu!
-Your Highness! Siyu! What's wrong? M-Mother... My stomach hurts! Siyu! -Your Highness!
-Siyu! -What's wrong? Are you in labor?
-Your Highness! How's that possible? It's not due yet! Hurry! Call the physician! Yes! Slowly! Be careful, don't be scared, Siyu! Xing! -Xing!
-Siyu! Hurry, go tell Ai! Ask her to do as planned. -Yes, Master.
-Siyu, calm down! It's going to be alright, don't worry! Siyu! Your Majesty. This is the list of officials
recommended by the Prime Minister. Ziqi, this year, there are many river courses in the north where bridges need to be built. I'll leave this matter to Shumishi, Chen Yue. Put him in charge. Yes. Also, inform Assistant Administrator Lin Youhao for me that he will be in charge of diplomatic matters with other countries. I hope that we can live together in peace without any violence. Your Majesty, but Lin Youhao isn't on the Prime Minister's recommendation list. I know. He's a student of Minister Wang, and is skilled in diplomacy, -so he should be groomed.
-Understood. Your Majesty, Your Majesty! What's wrong? Your Majesty,
Noble Consort Lan is having labor pains! Your Highness, please hang in there! Push harder! Push! Almost there, almost there! Your Highness, bear with it for a while more! Push! Push harder! Push! Almost there! Come on, push! Xing, why are you here so late? I'm so anxious! Remember to be careful. Stop there! Which palace are you from? Why are you in such a rush? -I...
-What's in your basket? Xing, why are you still here? Noble Consort Lan is giving birth! Here, give it to me. Sir, this basket contains the things needed for Noble Consort Lan's delivery. We need it urgently. Since Noble Consort Lan needs them, you send it to her quickly! Thank you, Sir! Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Is it a boy or a girl? Your Majesty, there's still no news from Lanfeng Palace. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Noble Consort Lan will be blessed and smoothly deliver the child. Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, Noble Consort Lan is having a difficult labor! Please spare us! May I boldly ask, in a critical situation,
should the mother or the child be saved? You must save Noble Consort Lan! Yes. Siyu is having a difficult labor? Yes, Master. This child is in an inverted position. Think of a way to save both mother and child! Madam, Her Highness is in a very critical situation. I can only do my best. My Lord, what should we do? Don't fret. I believe Siyu will get through this. Thank you, Yuncui! I'll carry this basket myself. Xing, we're all working for Her Highness. Don't mention it. Noble Consort Lan is in labor, what are you doing here instead of accompanying her? Sorry, Official Rong. Her Highness asked us to get some items for her delivery. We're really sorry for bumping into you in our rush. You may go. Be careful next time. Yes. Thank you, Official Rong! Your Highness, push! Almost there! Master, Siyu has given birth! Hurry! Her Highness has fainted, quick! Why do you come back so late? Why is it also a girl? Impossible. Ai gave me a baby boy! Xing, hurry and bring this child back! I'll go to the Prime Minister. His Majesty is here! Oh no, why is he here so soon? -Xing, go by the door there!
-Okay! Greetings, Your Majesty! You may rise. Congratulations, Your Majesty! Did she give birth to a prince or princess? Uh... Siyu is blessed, so it's definitely a prince! Is it true? Congratulations, Your Majesty. Her Highness gave birth to a princess. Princess? Great! That's great! I love princesses! Great! Let me take a look. -Eunuch Zhang!
-Yes. Send my orders down to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to restore Noble Consort Lan back to health. -I'll reward them greatly for this.
-Yes. You useless thing! Master, please spare me! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please spare me! Shut up! How did something carefully planned turn out like this?! Where did it go wrong? Your Honor, I passed a baby boy to Xing. I personally checked it. It was definitely correct. Master, Ai really gave me a baby boy. And I had never taken my eyes off of this baby. I don't know what happened! Think carefully! After you got the basket, who did you encounter and what happened? I... I... Yes. Thank you, Official Rong. Yes. Thank you, Official Rong. On our way back, I encountered some patrolling guards. Luckily, Yuncui helped me out. After that... After that, I bumped into Official Rong Ziqi. Wait. Rong Ziqi? Yuncui is a servant of Lanfeng Palace. I don't think she'd be so bold. But Rong Ziqi is suspicious. Could he be the one? If it's true, that's bad. It proves that His Majesty
has been guarding against this child. It means His Majesty ordered him to do so. Your Honor, is His Majesty afraid that you would make your grandchild the emperor, so he did that? He's so scheming. I underestimated him. Ai, hurry to tell the servants to find Feng Xun as soon as possible. Yes! Xing, you must remind Her Highness to watch His Majesty closely in case anything happens. Yes. You should leave now! What if His Majesty comes to visit? What would happen? I just want to have a glimpse at her. It won't disturb her. Official Rong, did His Majesty send you here? I... Yuncui, bring me my medicine
from the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Yes, Your Highness. I heard from my father that you spoiled our plan. Be honest. Did His Majesty ask you to do so? I did it myself. How could you? I almost died to give birth to a boy. How dare you spoil my plans? Do you know? Because of you, my future is ruined! If it can help vent your anger, I'd rather you hit me more. Stop putting up such an act. If you had really loved me, you should have helped me. But by doing this, you've only made me hate you even more. As long as it doesn't hurt His Majesty, I'm willing to do anything for you. You can't bear to hurt him, but you can bear to hurt me? Your Highness, have you ever thought that though you gave birth to a girl, maybe you'd instead gain His Majesty's affection? I don't want a girl! Neither do I want his affection! I want a Crown Prince! A Crown Prince, do you get it? Your Highness, how can you find happiness by hating His Majesty? He's never thought of making me happy. He forced me to do this! -Your Highness...
-Get lost! I don't want to see you ever again! Your Highness, please rest well. I shall take my leave. Greetings, Your Majesty! Is Noble Consort Lan asleep? Your Majesty, Her Highness has just fallen asleep. Please wait a moment, I'll inform Her Highness. It's alright. I'm just here to see the princess. I'll leave afterward. Why are you awake? Are you feeling better? Thank you for your concern. Thanks to the physician's care, I'm much better now. That's good. I'm delighted that you gave birth to my princess. I'm glad to hear that, Your Majesty. I was worried that you'd be disappointed because it wasn't a boy. No way. I like this princess. I've thought of her name. Feng Jie. What do you think? Sounds great. Look how obedient Jie is. She's not crying when you're here. She must like you a lot. Jie, open your eyes and look at your father. Be good, Jie. Jie, Jie... Cheers. Look, Jie is so pretty. When she grows up, she will be as beautiful as Siyu. That's for sure. I'm really happy that Siyu gave birth to a daughter for me, so I invited Mr. Prime Minister
and your wife to the palace to celebrate together. Here's a toast to everyone. Thank you, Your Majesty. I should be the one to propose a toast to you. It's all thanks to you that we're having a family reunion tonight! One more toast to you, Your Majesty.
I'll drink first. Good. Cheers. You should come to the palace more often to be with Jie. This way, we'll be able to share more family time together happily. Thank you, Your Majesty. Will you not confess still? Minister Wang, what are we guilty of? You tell us! The work was funded according to the plan. Everything was approved by the Prime Minister. How could we be corrupted? Are you trying to frame the Prime Minister? Official Chen was right!
Even if the bridge collapsed, it was just negligence of duty. How can you accuse us of embezzlement? You eloquent foxes. I have found out all of your crimes. The people in charge have pleaded guilty. You can't deny it. Minister Wang,
there's no need to be angry with them. These corrupted officials are so stubborn. They won't confess if you don't have them severely punished. Brand them. Yes, sir. Mr. Prime Minister, help! Mr. Prime Minister, help! Mr. Prime Minister! Mr. Prime Minister! Your Majesty. I have to thank you. Thank you for your assistance over the years. The court and I are still in great need of your help. You are welcome. It is my duty. Cheers. Your Majesty, I'm very grateful for your hospitality. It's getting late and you have an early morning court
to attend tomorrow. I won't bother you. Not so fast, Mr. Prime Minister. I feel like drinking so much. Why don't you stay
and have a few more drinks with me? I'd love to. Come on, Siyu. Let's have a toast to your parents. Please, Your Majesty. [Moon Reminisce Pavilion] Wei Hao, have you heard from Zheng and Xianglan recently? Your Majesty, none of the spies have found her. Where do you think they could have gone? I don't think Her Highness is in the country now since it's been so long and we still can't find her. (Zheng, please let me find you) (so I can bring you back.) -Douzi, eat properly.
-Yeah. Eat more. Take your time. Mother, I'm still hungry. Are there any more pancakes? You can eat mine. Take mine. I am not hungry. Thank you, Father. Here. Take mine. I'm not hungry. You eat it. No rush. Have one proper bite after another. You can have mine if you want more. Good girl. Please be good and go to sleep. Don't cry. Don't cry. What's wrong with Jie? Why does she keep crying? Your Highness, the little princess is healthy and the wet nurse has just fed her. I have no idea why the little princess keeps crying. Can't you make her stop crying? It's so annoying. Don't cry, good girl. Don't cry. Don't cry. What's wrong with my little girl? Your Majesty. Let me hold her. Good girl. Don't cry. Don't cry. Sweetie. Look, she's stopped crying. Jie has recognized you at such a young age. She stopped crying the moment you held her. She's so small, and yet she can cry so loudly. True. Her Highness was born prematurely, but she's as healthy as a full-term baby. How dare you! You don't get to say that, you servant! Please forgive me. I'm in no position to say that. Please have mercy. Slap yourself. Noble Consort Lan, why get angry over such a trivial matter? Eunuch Zhang, you may go now. Thank you, Your Majesty. Good girl. Your Majesty, I was disturbed by Jie's cry. I wasn't myself. Please forgive me. Jie, it's all your fault, right? You have gotten into your mother's hair. Be quiet, Jie. Stop crying, okay? Aren't we family? No matter what happens, we have to face it together. You tell me. Is the village out of food? Stop guessing. Don't worry. You're lying. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry. The difficulties are only temporary. I can fix it soon. I said I didn't want to see you again. What are you doing here at this hour? Your Highness, there's one thing I have to ask you in person. We're over. What do you have to ask? There are rumors in the palace saying that Her Highness
is not like a premature baby. Can you tell me the truth? Is the princess His Majesty's daughter or not? How dare you! The princess is His Majesty's flesh and blood
with no doubt. Greetings, Your Majesty. You came all of a sudden. Please forgive me for not greeting you from afar. I was worried that Jie might cry, so I came over to see her. Is she asleep? Thank you for your concern. The wet nurse has just put her to bed. Great then. You should go to bed early, too. You look pale. Get more rest. By the way, it's cold at night. Close the windows. (Her Highness was born prematurely,) (but she's as healthy as a full-term baby.) How dare you! You don't get to say that, you servant! Slap yourself! I take medicine every day to prevent Siyu from getting pregnant. Is the princess His Majesty's daughter or not? The princess is His Majesty's flesh and blood
with no doubt. Ziqi, the two jade bottles in the box
contain a few drops of blood. Take them to the Imperial Academy of Medicine and see if they're related. Understood. It's very important. You have to do it on the sly. I see. Go. Excuse me. To avoid any possible mistakes, I have repeatedly tested the two blood samples and confirmed that they are unrelated. [The two blood samples are unrelated.
Yours Sincerely, Dr. Wang Bo] I've offended you, Your Highness. I deserve death. I'm sorry. Now I can only kill myself to repent of my sin. You have to live if you don't want me to die with you. Stop crying, will you? Don't cry. No more tears. Give me a smile. Official Rong,
the little princess really likes you. I soothed her for so long, but she wouldn't smile. You just made her laugh happily. If I present the test results to His Majesty, what will happen to Siyu? What will His Majesty do with her? Good girl. Good girl. Will they die because of this? Sleep, sweetie. But if I conceal the truth, I will betray His Majesty's trust and become a disloyal man. Xing'er, you wait outside. Don't let anyone in. Understood. You almost got bumped into by His Majesty when you visited me in private. I can't believe you came again! Are you trying to get me killed? Rest assured. This is the last time I will visit you and your daughter. From now on, I won't bother you anymore. I hope you can keep your promise. How I wish I could do everything in my power to protect you both from any grief. But I also know that I'm limited in many ways. And there's very little that I can do for you. Since you know you're powerless, you should stop doing anything and stay away from us. It's the safest way for me and my daughter. I will. I promise to stay away from you and not interfere with you anymore. Good. Now that you've said what you want to say, you can go. Before that, I want to ask you a question. Have you ever loved me? No. Have you never felt anything for me? Not even for a moment? I never loved you, not now, not ever. Siyu, maybe I'm delusional, but I'm still glad that I've loved you. I'm leaving. Take care of yourself. Take care of Jie. Ziqi. Take care of yourself. Ziqi. What did the doctor say? Your Majesty,
the imperial doctor's test result says the two blood samples come from people
who are not related. I never expected Siyu would do such a shameful thing. Is she really going to go against me to achieve her father's ambition? Ziqi, what are you doing? I failed your trust. Please punish me! Your Majesty, it was all my fault. Please take my life but spare Noble Consort Lan
and the little princess! Ziqi, it was you. Yes, Your Majesty. Since I came here, Her Highness has never had your eyes on her. She's been depressed and lonely. Unwittingly, I fell in love with her. I knew that is a capital offense already. I wasn't expecting anything. I just wanted to keep Her Highness's company but didn't expect... but didn't expect that I couldn't control myself and defiled Her Highness when I was drunk. It was all my fault.
It had nothing to do with Her Highness. Please spare their lives and take my life! How could it be you? Your Majesty, I've been tortured by the huge mistake I made. I should have confessed my crime long ago, but I didn't want Her Highness
to get punished for this. That's why... why I had been covering up the truth. Despite that, you should never have lied to me with Du Siyu for such a long time! Ziqi, I never doubted you! You were a brother to me! But what did you do to me? Your Majesty, it wasn't until today that I got to know the truth. Your Majesty, today, I finally confessed my crime. So I don't completely shame myself. Ziqi. Ziqi! What's happening? What did you do? Your Majesty, I took poison before I came. Ziqi, how could you be so foolish? Your Majesty, I am sorry. You've taken me as a close friend all these years. But I am dishonest and disloyal. I deserve this. Your Majesty, before I die, please treat me as a friend one last time and spare Noble Consort Lan and the little princess. I beg you, Your Majesty. Ziqi, if you told me the truth earlier, we wouldn't have to be like this. Thank you for all these years, Your Majesty. I won't be able to pay you back in this life. Please allow me to serve you in my next life. There, there. There, there, little princess. Be good. What's wrong with her? She's been crying for ages. It's getting on my nerves. Don't worry, Your Highness. The imperial doctor has given her a checkup. There's no problem with her health. All right, take her away. Yes, Your Highness. There, there. There, there. Be good. Greetings, Your Majesty. There, there, little princess. -Be good.
-Take the baby away. Your Majesty. About Jie's birth, is there anything that you want to explain to me? Did Your Majesty hear any rumors against me? It was hard for me to give birth to Jie. It's somewhat frustrating
that Your Majesty is suspecting me. Noble Consort Lan, tell me, is this baby really mine? Of course she is. How dare you're still lying? Just to let you know, Ziqi has confessed everything about Jie. So it was Rong Ziqi. He slandered me in front of Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Rong Ziqi has been trying to harass me. He's been holding a grudge since I scolded him. I didn't tell Your Majesty because he's important to you. Nonsense! I can't believe you just ditched Ziqi like that. He begged me with his life for you and the child, but you? You smeared him to save your skin. He... He died? Yes, he died! For you! I know Ziqi well. If you didn't set him up, he wouldn't do this to me no matter how much he liked you. It was you who was using this child for your father's conspiracy. You've just been using Ziqi. Your Majesty. Noble Consort Lan, I can't believe you don't feel sorry for him at all. I'm so disappointed in you. Your Majesty. Your Majesty! I will not condemn you for the sake of Ziqi and Jie. But from now on, don't let me see you again. I hope you can behave, raise Jie well, and stop doing evil deeds. Otherwise, I will not spare you. Where are you? Here. I'm coming. Come catch me. Got you! Zheng. Mother. Mother. -Mother.
-Zheng. Why are you here, Mother? Mother, I missed you so much. I missed you, too. Come on, kids. Say hello. -How's it going?
-Great. Hello, Madam. Hello. Mother, they're orphans adopted by Jun Qi. There are two more in the house. How lovely. Mrs. Yuan, Yuezheng, I'll leave you alone and get going. Your Highness, thank you
for taking me here to visit Zheng. It's nothing, Mrs. Yuan. Let's go, kids. I'm treating you to nice food. Let's go! Great! Let's go. Mother, I didn't expect Jun Qi would take you here. Please sit down. Mother, how's everything going? Are Father, Yueque, and Jialin doing well? Yes, we're doing great. Don't worry about us. Zheng, it's so reassuring to see you doing well. Seems that the Ninth Prince is treating you well. He is. I turned to him after leaving Neidong Pass. He took me in. We know each other well, just like close friends. You're not just a friend to him, are you? You're right, Mother. Actually, I've accepted his proposal. Jun Qi is a sincere and straightforward person. Most importantly, he's never lied to me. He's someone I can rely on. That's great, Zheng. I'm really happy that you're starting a new life. Mother, don't worry about me. I like my life here. I can see the children here being happy and carefree every day. Looking at them has made me forget what once worried me in the past. That's so great. I heard Ziqi died. How's that possible? It doesn't make any sense! But he has gone! He just left like that. Ziqi died of heart disease as he exhausted himself from work. But he just promised me a few days ago that we're serving Your Majesty our whole lives! We three have so many things to accomplish together. It was all my fault. I didn't care enough for Ziqi so I couldn't notice his condition in time. It was all my fault. When he was on his deathbed, I didn't even get to do anything for him. Now he's gone. We don't even have the chance to make up to him. It was me who neglected Ziqi. I did him wrong. I am sorry. ♪Watching the endless road♪ ♪Trying to break through the fog♪ ♪Where does it lead?♪ ♪Watching the leaves flying in the wind♪ I really hope I can protect you and the little princess from any misfortune or injustice. ♪Reminds me of the sweet memories we had♪ Rest assured, this will be the last time that I visit you.

If you had told me at the beginning, Ziqi wouldn't have died. [To The Memory Of Rong Ziqi] It was all my fault. Your Majesty, I failed my brother. I don't blame you or Ziqi. There's nothing wrong with loving someone. What's wrong is using someone's feelings for your own sake. I made the same mistake as Noble Consort Lan. Your Majesty. Your Majesty shows so much mercy to Ziqi. I will serve Your Majesty with my whole life for my brother. Yuncui, for Ziqi's sake, I don't want to hear anything about Jie's birth again. Just let everything be kept to ourselves forever. Thank you, Your Majesty, for my brother. Father, here too. My Lord, Yunque, try this Treasure Wish Cake. Here, My Lord. Okay. Mother, there's still some time
until Father's birthday. Why are you making Treasure Wish Cake Yuezheng made all these. Is it good? -Zheng?
-Yuezheng? Where is she? Did you go to see her while you were away? Yes, I went to visit her. She's outside the Pass. She's happy with her life. Besides, she accepted
the Ninth Prince's proposal. She accepted the Ninth Prince's proposal? Wait. Why would the Ninth Prince propose to Zheng? Actually, My Lord, Zheng said she had met Feng Xun. He is safe but still holds a grudge against Feng Lin. He still eagerly wants to take his revenge. Mother. Did Yuezheng mention where Feng Xun is? Wait, hear me out. Traditionally, a woman should never marry two men. Zheng and Feng Lin haven't divorced. How can she marry someone else? -Father.
-Take me there. I need to stop her. This is not something up to her. My Lord. Zheng already died once for Feng Lin. She's starting a new life. We can't let her live alone for the rest of her life. Mother, where on earth is Yuezheng? Listen, as long as Zheng is still our daughter, Feng Lin will still be our son-in-law. Even if Zheng doesn't want
to be together with Feng Lin, she won't end up alone. She's got us, her brother, her sister-in-law, and Ye to rely on. Father, let's put Yuezheng aside. Let's talk about Feng Xun, Feng... Yueque, just a second. My Lord, as long as Yuezheng thinks
it's the right thing to do, we, as her family, should support her, shouldn't we? No, there's no way I would agree. Unless His Majesty divorces her, I will not agree to Zheng's second marriage. My Lord. -My Lord!
-Mother! Did Yuezheng tell you where Feng Xun is? Mother, I'm really worried about Feng Xun's resentment of Feng Lin. If that is not sorted, Tianzi might be in trouble. You're right. The world will not be at peace until they resolve the problem between them. The sooner this can be solved, the better it will be for the people. Our priority is to find Feng Xun as soon as possible. Your Highness, please take His Majesty's order. His Majesty would like to see the little princess. Thank you, Eunuch Zhang. Sorry, Your Highness. His Majesty would like to see the princess only. Please stay in the palace and wait for her to come back. Xing, take good care of the princess. Yes, Your Highness. My apologies, Your Highness. I shall get going. Feng Lin, you better pray
that I don't get another chance. Or I will go as far as I can to get back at you. Are you smiling, Jie? You're happy to see me, aren't you? Jie, you must grow up happily. I will take good care of you for your father. Ninth Prince! Ninth Prince! What happened? In the end, the Khan could not hold back and attacked the Pass. Many people will suffer. How is Neidong Pass right now? Is there any news about my family? The current status is unknown. I will check again. But I heard that the Emperor of Tianzi has personally led troops
into the Pass as a backup. Personally? The situation is already this serious? Song Wu. Is there any news on Wei Hao? I heard that Wei Hao did not come this time. Do not worry. I think with Yueque's capability, Neidong Pass should be safe and sound. I believe your parents will be fine as well. Jun Qi. If the war spreads here, what about the villagers and the children? Do not worry. I am here. I will definitely protect you. Ninth Prince. Now is your chance to get rid of the Khan. I have no intention of fighting the Khan. Ninth Prince,
since the Khan ascended the throne, his cruel behavior has put the people
in dire straits. I have followed you for many years
and know your ability. In addition,
you are loved by the chiefs of all tribes. You deserve to be the Great Khan of Mengyi. If I stage an uprising, it'd become an excuse for other princes
to make trouble as well. This will make the country suffer even more. -But, Ninth Prince...
-Enough. Inform everyone
that a war has broken out and ask everyone to prepare to evacuate
at any time. Yes, sir. [Jinxiu Garden] The Love Silk Knot is like what ancient people used to keep notes. Every time you do something that moves me, I will tie a love silk knot. In the future, every time I see it, I will remember the things you did for me. Zheng. I will gradually piece your heart back to me. I will tie lots of love silk knots for you. Do you personally lead the troops this time to bring Yuezheng back to the capital yourself? Yes. I worked hard to fill the treasury
and prepare for war just to bring Zheng back. Feng Lin. Have you ever thought that Yuezheng running away from you
multiple times shows her determination
not to return to the palace? Not to mention she is... She is with Jun Qi right now. She is very happy. Can you stop forcing her? No. Zheng is my empress. She can only be with me. I did not want to lose my mother. She was seriously ill. I kept holding her hands, not wanting her to die. In the end, she still died. I wanted my father to like me. I made compromises. I was very careful. I put on deliberate performances. I wanted him to value me. But what did I get? Father still preferred Feng Xun. I did not want Zheng to die, but I can only helplessly stand by and watch as I lost Zheng. As an emperor, I have done everything I should do. Now, I just want to do what a husband wants to do. -Feng Lin...
-I believe... Give me another chance, Zheng and I will be happy. Charge! Khan. Our troops have suffered heavy casualties. Let's retreat. Your Majesty! Do not pursue a desperate foe. [Nianbao Village] So you are hiding here living a leisure life, Jun Qi. Now our army is retreating in defeat
with great casualties. Is this not exactly what you want? Why do you say that, Khan? You know very well that I was not the one who started this war. If you did not collude with the enemy, how could there be such a war? Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? Aren't you waiting for the moment when both Tianzi and I suffer losses so that you can take over my throne? Khan. If I had the intention
of competing for the throne, why would I wait until today? Jun Qi. Right now,
the enemy troops are at our borders. We have reached a critical moment
concerning the survival of Mengyi. You are my younger brother,
familiar with the art of war, and are on good terms
with the chiefs of various tribes in Hedong. I need your help to drive back the enemy with me. Pardon my honesty, but this war
should not have been started in the first place. Right now, the tribes are suffering
from food shortages and having a hard life. It is impossible for them to handle this war. I think we should propose a siege with Tianzi so that this war can be quelled
as soon as possible. Shut up! You just need to help me fight. Other things are none of your business. Forgive me for refusing your order. You...! Please leave, Khan. Mother. It is all because of you! You will pay for my ninth brother's life! Second Brother. You cannot kill her. She is my hostage. She will be useless if you kill her. Khan! -Mother!
-Let me go! My Lady! Jun Qi! Jun Qi! Song Wu. Summon the chiefs
of all tribes in Hedong here to discuss important matters immediately. Ninth Prince, are you really going to help the Khan
fight this war? He has Yuezheng. I have no choice. Tianzi just won a battle, so their morale is high. Mengyi has no chance of winning this war. The Khan knows that this is a lost battle, yet he is still forcing you to fight.
What are his intentions? I understand everything you said. But I can only summon troops to dispel the Khan's distrust towards me, so the Khan will not hurt Yuezheng. If the Khan keeps pushing, are you really going to drag the people who follow and love you into the war? Ninth Prince,
you have always been wise and decisive. But how can you let the Khan restrain and threaten you with a woman? Besides, Miss Yuezheng's relationship with the Emperor of Tianzi
is complicated. We can let the Emperor of Tianzi
solve this problem. Why do we sacrifice our people? Yuezheng is my woman. There is no need to ask others to help save her! Ninth Prince,
you must put the bigger picture first. I do not fear death.
I only fear that our people will suffer severely. When that time comes, you will definitely regret your decision. Your Majesty. I ordered the army to camp here so you can dispatch them at will. Good. Tomorrow morning,
we will press forward to the enemy's capital. Young Master! Young Master! Bad news! Young Master! Let her in. -Young Master!
-Why are you here? Young Master. Save Miss please. She was kidnapped by the Khan of Mengyi. What? Yueque. Arrange for a meeting with the Khan of Mengyi right away. Have you thought of a way to save Yuezheng? As long as he is willing to release Zheng, I am willing to retreat and negotiate with them. Retreat? Just like that? How will you explain this
to your subjects and your people? I personally led the troops this time just to welcome Zheng back. Now this wish is about to come true. Why should I explain myself to anyone? How unexpected. You are my lucky star. Did you know that Jun Qi has summoned all Hedong tribes to fight Tianzi in my stead for you? Using a woman to blackmail your own brother. Are you still a man? Report! Khan. An envoy of Tianzi requests your audience. Let him in. Khan. Your Highness. Khan. His Majesty sent me to deliver a message. As long as you let Miss Yuezheng go, Tianzi is willing to retreat
and have a peace negotiation with you. Retreat and negotiate? Exactly. The Emperor of Tianzi is willing to retreat? Yes. Okay. Go back and tell your emperor. If I let this woman go, he has to become the hostage himself. After the army of Tianzi
has retreated 30 li, I will sign a treaty with him and let him go. No! You cannot agree to it! As the emperor of a country, how could you put yourself in danger? Go back and tell Jun Jie that I am willing to become a hostage
in exchange for Yuezheng. The Khan of Mengyi insists. If you do not go personally, I'm afraid... Go tell him that I agree. You can't! Jun Jie is cunning, cruel, and unpredictable. There is no way that he will keep the promise. Have you ever thought that the consequences will be unimaginable if you are also in danger? Yueque. If I do not exchange myself for Zheng, I will regret it for the rest of my life! I owe her too much. Why not let me pay my life for her? I have come as promised. You should keep your word and let her go. You have not walked over yet. How can I let her go? Don't come here! I do not need you to take my place. It is okay. You do not have to walk over. You can wait and see whether or not I will kill this woman. Okay. I will walk over. Do not hurt her. Khan. Do not hurt her. Let her go. Don't come here! You better shut up. You are willing to become a hostage for a woman. I do not know whether I should admire you or laugh at you. To me, it does not matter what you think. Are you going back on your word? Given that this woman is so important to you, why would I let her go so easily? Besides, even you are here now. Do I still need peace talks? Tell your men that I want them to exchange ten cities for the hostages. Zheng! Fortunately, the injury is not serious. It should heal soon. Zheng. Are you okay? Since everyone is safe, I am leaving. Zheng! Don't go. I have something to tell you. I will be outside. Zheng. I personally led troops this time
in hopes of bringing you back. Is that so? While defeating Jun Jie
and taking Mengyi as your own? You still think I am ambitious, right? If I came just for Mengyi, why would I agree to retreat
and have peace negotiations? You also know that I am sure to win this war. Agreeing to retreat and negotiate
and coming to be a hostage yourself are all a part of your and Yueque's strategy. Are you not the one who won in the end? Do... Do I really have to die in front of you for you to believe that I am sincere? I do not want to hear this from you. No matter what you do, I will never trust you again. Do not try to move me. How could I expect to move you? I am doing this just to atone for myself. Zheng. You told me that many things have changed. But for me, only two things have not changed and will never change. First, you are my empress. Second, my love for you. Come back with me, please? Your empress is dead. Besides, I have promised Jun Qi to marry him. If you are willing to, you can stay for the wedding.
