(Marquis Quling's Residence)
(Five days later)
General.
Take it slow.
Is the medicine too bitter?
There's no place like home.
When I was in Tongniu County for a long time,
I missed home,
you,
the children
and my mother as well.
I was so worried.
We missed you too.
When we were in prison,
we kept mentioning you.
Old Madam said you're a filial son.
Song and Shaogong
said you are a kind father.
Niaoniao too.
She went everywhere for you
because she cares for you.
What about you?
We have been married for 30 years.
We help each other
and love each other.
Do I have to say anything else?
I didn't know
our family will get involved in the Tongniu case.
That day,
Yan Zhong discussed with me
regarding the storage of refined copper.
I was worried that Tongniu County might fall
and the military funds would be stolen
so I suggested
to hide the refined copper
outside the city.
However, we were ambushed.
Ma Rong took the cart
and even killed Yan Zhong and his family.
I used all my might to defend
and got injured.
I escaped with my life on the line
and passed out in the bushes.
But I heard Niaoniao say
you were very energetic
when she found you.
You didn't look like you passed out for a long time.
It's all Lou Ben's fault.
I woke up in the hut
and my body was full of injuries.
He said
I was rescued by the people working in the mines.
He heard about it and went to take care of me for two days.
He also told me
Tongniu County had fallen
and the county assistant governor, Li Feng, had defected.
He framed me and Yan Zhong
by saying we defected while taking the refined copper with us.
He also told me His Majesty had ordered for us to be captured.
Did you believe him just like that?
He is Lou Yao's brother
and had a marriage discussion with us.
I never thought
he would lie to me.
When I recovered,
I wanted to find a chance to return to the capital and defend myself
but he lied to me again and said I can't show myself
because Ma Rong would kill me
when his spy found me.
If I died, it would be hard to explain
and everyone in the Cheng Family
would be acquitted
and be imprisoned.
He also guaranteed
to tell all of you about my survival
so all of you could be relieved
and we could reunite
when I have been proven innocent.
I was afraid of involving all of you
so I hid in that small area.
It was so frustrating for me.
It was tough for you.
You actually managed to escape alive
from his clutches.
He still had some conscience
and didn't kill me.
Perhaps
it was because Niaoniao
used to be engaged with Lou Yao.
He acted kindly
because his plans failed.
If he was successful,
do you think he could hide you forever?
If he was successful,
the first person he would kill
is you!
Shi!
You are finally awake!
Mother.
You scared me.
You have been
sleeping here for three days.
Stop shouting, Mother.
I have yet to fully recover.
Your screams almost killed me.
You unfilial son!
Do you know
how I lived for the past few days?
You only care about your wife!
Why didn't you show any concern
about my suffering?
Why are you not concerned?
You unfilial son!
That's not right, Mother.
You were in prison for some time
but you look fatter than you do before.
Look.
Yuanyi lost weight
to take care of all of you.
You didn't look like you had suffered.
Nonsense!
Because of what you did,
I used up all my family property!
My family property! My...
Why don't you feel bad at all?
The trash you've been collecting?
Trash?
You...
You prodigal son!
Prodigal son.
All of you always say
I am a stingy person.
Without these treasures I had been collecting,
what would your daughter have to use for her money
to go to Tongniu County
to rescue you?
Back then,
if I didn't feed you with the food I saved,
could you have survived
until today?
Without the money
I saved,
can your life be rescued?
Can your life be rescued?
That's enough, Old Madam.
Old Madam.
Old Madam survived a period of chaos before.
The Cheng Family will not have its glory today
without Old Madam's frugal way of living.
How sensible.
Yuanyi is so sensible.
They say a son is reliable.
In my opinion,
a daughter-in-law
is way more reliable than a son.
Old Madam.
Wait a second.
What happened
when I wasn't around?
Why aren't you two arguing?
Nothing really happened.
However,
we understand now.
What do you understand?
-Be united as one. -Be united as one.
Does your hand hurt?
No.
Yao.
I'm really sorry.
Lady Cheng, no need to apologise.
You did nothing wrong.
It was all my brother's fault.
Thankfully, I didn't get banished to my hometown
together with Uncle.
Take care, Your Highness.
I will
be leaving now.
Grand Tutor Lou, take care.
Why did you choose to go to Hua County?
If I have to say,
when I was in Hua County,
it was the happiest moment in my life.
Now that I think about it, it felt like a dream.
You were
sincere and brave back then.
I was
pure and fearless back then.
What a pity.
If I get to choose again,
I'd rather not meet you
and go to Hua County
in my life.
Please
take care.
Cheng Shaoshang.
If we didn't encounter this life-and-death incident,
we might still be friends.
I don't want to be your friend.
Me neither.
Why did you come to send us off?
Both of you
came to Lou's residence to capture Lou Ben
and forced him to commit suicide in public
yet you came here now to send us off together.
Aren't you hurting Yao
by doing that?
Thankfully, Yao knows what's right
and won't blame you two.
He just doesn't know
how he should face you.
I believe he is weighing the right and wrong inside his heart
and knows what his brother did
was a humiliation.
As time goes by,
I'm sure he will think it through.
That's how Yao is.
Upright
and straightforward.
Cheng Shaoshang.
When we meet again in the future,
I'll definitely prepare a feast for you.
But in our current situation,
we don't welcome you.
Don't be sad.
Without your recommendation,
they won't be able to go to Hua County.
Hua County is a safe place now.
I believe
they can realise their ambitions there.
Why aren't First Madam Lou
and Yanji here?
After hearing Lou Ben's last words,
the master of Lou Family
criticised Grand Tutor Lou
for hindering was nephews' future
which caused this incident.
Grand Tutor Lou pushed all his crimes
onto his wife.
The crime was having no filial piety, no virtue
and alienating his nephews.
A few days ago,
First Madam Lou was exiled back to her hometown.
A couple
really abandons each other
even though they are married.
Not every married couple is the same.
Young Madam Lou
doesn't treat Lou Ben
that way.
Dear.
You left before us.
Your child and I will soon
meet you in the underworld.
(You went everywhere)
(and promised to find me a fabled abode.)
(You wouldn't break your promise.)
(Just lead the way)
(and guide me.)
(The current at night was rapid.)
(Every guard of the Lou Family went into the river)
(but they couldn't find her.)
(Right now,)
(Wang Yanji and her child)
(are dead with their body missing.)
Yanji helped me many times.
Apart from Yao,
she was the one who treated me best in the Lou Family.
Right now,
she died together with his husband because of me.
The day when Lou Ben died,
I was anxious to find my father
and didn't comfort her.
Young Madam Lou is a reasonable person.
Meanwhile,
Yao is a kind man.
He didn't really hate us
even though there is a tragedy in their family.
I'm sure
he is suppressing himself today.
I remember Yao told me
his favourite place
is his brother's study.
His brother traversed the world
with benevolence
and saw various things.
He got acquainted with many interesting people.
No one would imagine
both of them
to end up like this.
Lou Ben made a mistake.
When one mistake is made, what comes next will also be a mistake.
Sometimes,
one wrong step in the world
will take you to the point of no return.
Zisheng.
I don't ask for a lavish life.
I just want to be safe and happy.
We must not do anything wrong.
Then, we won't have anything to regret in our lives.
What's wrong?
Mother is seriously ill again.
Are you willing
to visit her with me?
Did I do a good job?
It's amazing.
I'm sure Li will like it.
Li, you're here. Come quickly!
I made your favourite almond cake.
It's your favourite.
Come.
Quick, try it.
See if it's sweet. Come.
Try it.
What's wrong?
Are you blaming me...
No.
You did well.
I'll eat it.
Come. Try it.
Li.
Why are you frowning
while eating the almond cake?
Did I make it badly?
Is that it?
No.
It's delicious.
It's very sweet.
Really?
It's great to see you like it.
The city is short on many things right now
but the almond tree bears fruit.
You can eat
as many almond cakes as you want.
I won't treat you badly.
Sure.
Eat more if you like it.
Hurry up.
Hurry.
Silly child. Eat slowly. There are many left.
Madam Huo still sees Zisheng as a child.
Why do I feel like
Madam Huo looks better when she is seriously ill?
Junhua is old
and can't stand the illness anymore.
She might look energetic
but she is near her life's end.
She was born prematurely
and has a weak body.
That is why she was being pampered.
She risked her life
and gave birth to Zisheng for Ling Yi
but this is how she ended up.
Not just Junhua.
Zisheng was also born prematurely.
I remember the time
when he was born,
he looked like a kitten.
Everyone thought he wouldn't survive
so they named him Li.
However, the first madam of the Huo Family
gave birth to a few children.
All of them were healthy
and strong.
For safety,
she gave his own child's name
to Zisheng.
What is General Huo Chong's son's name?
Buyi was given to Li
and Wushang, the name of Junhua's son,
was given to the nephew of the Huo Family.
Huo Wushang.
They say a nephew looks like his uncle.
Buyi and Wushang
looked similar when they were young.
So, Junhua
liked to
dress them up in identical outfits
and let Huo Chong guess them.
But Ling Yi
always pretended
to be a kind father and fooled everyone.
Actually, he only carried Zisheng a few times.
Sometimes, he would even mistake them.
Do they look so alike?
Even Marquis Chengyang made a mistake telling them apart?
It was because
he interacted with his son less.
Although both of them looked similar,
their personalities
were very different.
One of them was active
and liked
climbing on trees and high places.
The other
was quiet and reasonable.
He liked to read and write.
Although their personalities were different,
they got along well.
Li liked to eat almonds.
Although Zheng
would get rashes when he touched almonds,
he was still willing to climb on almond trees to pick almonds.
Zisheng is the last surviving member of the Huo Family.
He should not risk his life anymore.
If something happens to him,
Junhua will...
Shaoshang.
I'll leave Zisheng to you.
When you get married,
I'll prepare the same dowry for you
as your parents.
What do you think?
There's no need.
Her Majesty said the same thing.
I have many dowries.
No one complains about having too many dowries.
Besides,
if you have fewer dowries,
what will you do if you can't see Princess Yuchang
on an equal standing?
What does the amount of my dowry
have to do with Princess Yuchang?
She is good at everything
including the four arts and cooking.
She is also famous for being virtuous.
What about you?
I heard
you made a chicken wing
when you tried to repair armour.
Zisheng became a joke
among the officials for many days.
You won't be able to compete with her in anything
if you don't have many dowries.
Uncle Cui.
I think
our relationship ends here.
Farewell.
There's no need
to send me off.
It was a mandarin duck.
Not a chicken.
She has a temper.
This kid
is interesting.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
Why are there so many rashes?
I think I was bitten by bugs
during training.
How can there be bugs
in such cold weather?
Show me.
You are heating up.
Let me lean on you.
The physician said
Young Master was heating up because he couldn't eat almonds.
He will recover after sleeping.
Why did Young Lady leave without saying a word?
She didn't even wait for Young Master to wake up.
She must be angry because Young Master was careless.
I hope Peng Kun
can explain everything about the Gu City case
so the knot
in Young Master's heart can be untied
and marry Young Lady.
Young Master.
Didn't the physician say you should rest more?
Why did you get up?
I can't wait any longer.
Otherwise, it'll be too late.
We'll go to the Ministry of Justice
and take Peng Kun.
-Yes. -Yes.
Tell me!
Why did you kill Lord Qian'an?
Why did you attack Gu City?
Ling Buyi.
You abducted me from the Ministry of Justice
to this Northern Army Prison without authorisation.
You are obviously trying to use unauthorised punishment.
I can guarantee that every whip
lands in the same position.
I wonder how many whips
can General Peng take.
Tell me!
I risked my life with my soldiers
yet Lord Qian'an was taking all the credit
and kept getting promoted.
Was I wrong to kill him?
Junior Lord Qian'an was useless
and was only waiting to inherit the army
and the position of the lord.
The son succeeds his father.
When could soldiers like us
get promoted?
Only when Lord Qian'an dies in battle
and Junior Lord Qian'an couldn't handle the army,
then,
only can I stop being the vice general.
As for the failure
of saving Gu City in time,
it was purely because
Huo Chong was unlucky.
Impossible!
That day at Shouchun,
you said Ling Yi was involved in this.
What did you mean?
Did Gu City fall
because Ling Yi
was acting as a spy?
You are already
a dog of the Wen Family.
What?
Are you trying to take credit
by blaming
your own biological father?
I know nothing.
I dare you
to kill me.
Do you think I dare not kill you?
I killed Lord Yong,
demoted Madam Wen Xiu
and chased Marquis Yue off to the imperial mausoleum.
You...
Killing you
is easy for me.
I want you
to suffer.
Right here,
there are more than 100 types of torture.
General Peng.
Are you willing to try them out one by one?
Why did you space out
looking at General Huo's portrait?
I think General Huo
looks similar
to Zisheng.
They say a nephew looks like his uncle.
Buyi and Wushang
looked similar when they were young.
Although their personalities were different,
they got along well.
Li liked to eat almonds.
Although Zheng
would get rashes when he touched almonds,
he was still willing to climb on almond trees to pick almonds.
Why are there so many rashes?
I think I was bitten by bugs
during training.
Shaoshang.
Your Majesty, are you troubled because of Crown Prince?
Grand Tutor Lou was Crown Prince's tutor.
During this period,
something happened to Madam Wen Xiu, Wang Chun, Fifth Princess
and Grand Tutor Lou one after another.
Even if the Eastern Palace
was safe from this,
I'm afraid Crown Prince
still won't feel comfortable about it.
Your Majesty.
I caused harm to Crown Prince
because I sneaked out of the capital
and exposed Lou Ben.
Won't you blame me, Your Majesty?
Why would I blame you?
You are obedient.
I know how you feel.
Actually,
I respect you
from the bottom of my heart.
If I was
as courageous as you were in the past,
perhaps
I might also save my parents.
Your Majesty, you have to take care.
Besides Crown Prince,
you still have many things to worry about.
Yes.
I am only worried about
your marriage with Zisheng.
Your Majesty.
Tell me about Zisheng.
Has his personality always been so cold?
I heard
he looked similar to Marquis Huo's son.
Many people mistook them when they were young.
They looked alike yet they didn't.
Zisheng was very joyful when he was young.
Wushang was quiet
and was mature at a young age.
However, something like that happened.
Zisheng
became like Wushang and no longer likes to smile.
Actually,
he has many habits similar to Wushang.
His Majesty asked him as well.
He said
he wanted to live for Wushang who died.
He couldn't be reckless.
This child
suffered at an early age.
Fortunately,
he has you for the rest of his life.
I am also lucky
to have Your Majesty by my side.
Actually,
Zisheng helped us a lot.
No matter what happens,
we need to look ahead.
Don't worry about him.
He knows
what he is doing.
Sleep earlier.
Perhaps
it will be better tomorrow.
Your Majesty.
Can you accompany me tonight?
Why not?
It's fine if Her Majesty is not here.
Get Cheng Shaoshang to see me.
Madam Peng, don't make noise here.
This is Changqiu Palace.
I don't care!
Lady Cheng.
I was wrong in the past.
I came here to apologise to you.
Please ask Zisheng to release my husband.
You didn't beg in this manner
when your mother was almost executed.
Yet you are doing this now
for your husband.
Where is your dignity?
If the child inside my body loses his father,
why do I still need dignity for?
Get up.
Hurry and get up!
No.
I beg you. Help me.
Can you help me?
You can throw away your dignity
but Changqiu Palace can't.
Is it worth it
to do so much for a disloyal man?
To all of you, he might be disloyal.
But to me,
no one is more loyal than him.
Yes.
He committed treason
and even killed my family members.
But do you know how these family members behaved?
Do you know what kind of life was I living in my home?
My father was a coward
and my brother was a good-for-nothing.
My mother only cared about my uncle's family.
She could order me to sacrifice my life for them at any time.
No one cared about what I liked.
No one even cared about what I wanted.
Except for him.
So, what?
Wang Ling, wake up.
He is a traitor of Gu City after all.
When he was in Gu City,
the miasma harmed his body
and he suffered from asthma.
So, his house never had any plants.
When he knew I like gardening,
he risked his own life
and ordered for people to bring many rare plants
and planted them in our house
just to cheer me up.
Because of that,
he dared not step foot in my residence
which made me feel relief.
One night,
my room's heater
lit up the mosquito net and caused a fire.
I thought I would die in Shouchun.
However,
he risked his life
to rescue me.
Do you think
my parents could do that?
He is a good husband indeed.
You didn't even want
to marry him back then.
Since then,
I swore
to give my life to him.
Lady Cheng.
I beg you.
Help him.
Please help him, all right?
Peng Kun committed treason.
It is a crime punishable by annihilating the whole clan.
Do you think a lady like me
can persuade His Majesty to save him?
No!
I don't want you to rescue him.
If he has committed treason,
he has to die.
However, Ling Buyi took him away from the Ministry of Justice
and interrogated him overnight at the Northern Army Prison.
Ling Zisheng is cruel.
He will definitely use inhumane methods to interrogate my husband.
Yes.
My husband committed a crime.
But isn't Ling Buyi wrong by forcing him to confess
with unauthorised punishment?
Peng Kun's crime is unforgivable.
There's no need to force him to confess!
Wang Ling.
I can't help you.
Leave.
Cheng Shaoshang.
Seems like you know nothing
about Ling Zisheng.
Ling Zisheng is
the most unpredictable
and terrifying man in this world.
My husband had many spies in the capital
and he told me before.
