[The Virtuous Queen of Han]

[Episode Thirty-Eight]

Your Highness
please take a look at this.

You made that for Hong Er?

I made it for First Prince.

Agate can bless one with safety and
shield off evil spirits or disasters.

I'd like to make
accessories for both princes.

It can soothe their
minds and protect them.

It's very delicately made.

The princes will surely like it.

When the other one is made

I'll give the accessories to
both princes at the same time.

Only then can I be fair and just.

It's good of you to be so thoughtful.

I'll bring Ju Er over to
see his brother more often.

They should spend
more time together.

My little brother,
do you find this pretty?

Are you hungry, First Prince?

Madame Wang prepared some snacks.
I'll bring some to you.

Sure.

After I had Hong Er...

I only then realized how
difficult it is to be a mother.

I really have to ask Your Highness for
more advice on raising children.

Then Hong Er can be
as smart and thoughtful

as First Prince
when he grows up.

You don't have to be
too worried, Sister.

I see that Hong Er is very obedient.

He doesn't make a fuss,
or cry very often.

But when he does he
will only go to sleep

if I hold him in
my arms all night.

I don't dare to move,
even when my arms are numb.

I'm afraid to wake him up or
he'll kick up another fuss.

I can't bear to hear my Hong Er cry.

When he cries, my heart breaks.

Speaking of him, I miss him again.

I wonder if he is crying and
asking for his mother again?

We'll go and have a look.

Hong Er!
Hong Er!

Hong Er!

- Summon the imperial physician!
- Yes!

Yes!

Why did you hit your brother?

Mother...

How could you bear to hit
your own brother?

How could the prince get injured?

What exactly happened?

Nanny!
Speak up!

Please forgive us!

Qiao Qiao and I went out to
bring food back to the princes.

When we came back,
we heard Second Prince crying.

We went in to have a look and
found a wound on Second Prince's head!

- And... and...
- And what?

And there was blood on the rattler
that First Prince was holding!

Your Majesty, I have not
wronged First Prince.

Qiao Qiao, is the nanny
telling the truth?

You don't have to mind me.

Just say whatever you saw.

Tell us everything that you know.

Yes.

It is indeed just as
the nanny says.

But I didn't see First Prince
hit Second Prince.

Was there anyone else in the chamber?

Only the two princes
were in the chamber.

The bloody rattler was indeed
held by First Prince.

Ju Er has always been gentle.

How did this happen?

You've always said that Ju Er is well
read in the verses of the saints.

Is this kinship and harmony
between brothers?

Ju Er is young and immature.

This happened because I have
not disciplined my child well.

I have failed in teaching my child.

I ask that Your Majesty punish me.

Would Ju Er correct
his ways if I punish you?

He's already hurt his own brother
at such a young age.

When he grows up, wouldn't he...

I have nothing more to
say about what has happened.

I only ask that Your Majesty remain
calm so as not to affect your health.

Fortunately, the imperial physician
was in time to treat the prince.

There won't be any scars
on Hong Er's forehead.

Poor Hong Er, the pain must
be unbearable for him.

My Hong Er is still so young,
and he has to suffer such a torture.

I wish First Prince
had injured me instead.

What Ju Er did was against filial piety,
fraternal duty, and humanity.

It is indeed despicable.

I must not tolerate that.

Where is he now?

I've already grounded
him in Chuande Palace.

Emperor Gaozu reigned the nation
with political and cultural policies.

Emperor Xiao Wen tried all
medical brews for his mother.

Empress Dowager Bo was great
in managing her subjects.

Grand Empress Dowager
assisted a young ruler.

Empress Dowager Wang was
kind and respectful to elders.

Merits are engraved here
in Chuande Palace.

Benevolence, filial piety, and kinship,
are the virtues that are passed down.

I want you to reflect
on yourself properly.

Think about the teachings
of our predecessors.

Think about what mistakes
you have made.

When you know what
you have done wrong

kneel down to the ancestors
and confess your wrongdoings.

Although Liu Ju is punished,
I saw how upset my sister was

and how I had kept the truth from her.

I...

No, you must not be tenderhearted.

Wang Yan is unlike you.

She can't hide anything.

Once she knows the truth,
we won't be able to do anything.

I am definitely aware of that.

Don't worry.

I'll keep it from her indefinitely.

You want her to show her true feelings.

His Majesty is touched by her
love for her son.

Your sister is best at looking pitiful.

She can win the Emperor over,
and make the Empress and her son suffer.

That is the thing to do.

We've managed to do that.

His Majesty threw a tantrum
at Empress and First Prince.

He said that the prince
will be severely punished.

Your plan has indeed worked.

I knew that Liu Ju would be
there to visit his brother.

You told me to hide behind the screen
in my sister's chamber, and wait.

After the nanny and Qiao Qiao went out,
I'd have a chance to strike.

It was as if gods were on my side.

Liu Ju left his brother's side.

I came out from behind
the screen immediately.

I took the rattle and hit Hong Er
hard on his forehead.

And then I hid myself right away.

I saw Liu Ju take the rattle.

I knew then that he had
walked straight into the trap.

But I couldn't be happy about it.

How can you do great things if you
can't be happy when you should?

Everyone will think that Liu Ju is
wicked by nature, violent and vicious.

This is great for you, your sister,
and that baby of hers.

I know that it will do us good,
but Hong Er...

He is my nephew, after all!

I've been taking care of
him since he was born.

When I heard him cry in pain
until he was almost breathless

I...

Do you want luxury and extravagance?

Then stop saying such
disheartening words.

Some time later, I'll tell you how
to make their loss your gain.

By then, your sister and nephew will
both benefit from the loss of another.

But you must remember to be vicious.

And Wang Yan must
never know the truth!

Only by playing her role in the act
with true emotions

can we get the illegitimate son
to be the emperor.

Greetings to Mother.

Why aren't you on your knees?

Mother, you told me to think about
what I have done wrong.

If I realize what mistakes I've made

I should kneel and
confess to the ancestors.

But I haven't done anything wrong.

I don't have any reason to kneel.

Tell me your reason for thinking
that you did nothing wrong.

I like my brother.

I saw him cry, so I tried to
cheer him up with the rattle.

Then I saw that there
was blood on his forehead.

I don't understand what happened.

But what I really don't understand
is why Mother and everyone scolded me!

Mother...

This part of me hurts so much...

What? You let Ju Er go?

Yes.

Here, wrap the herbs up
and take them to Madame Wang.

Remind Madame that she must
apply these to Hong Er's wound

according to Chief
Physician's prescription.

Yes.

Did Ju Er admit to
hurting Hong Er and repent?

No.

Then how could you let him go?

Didn't you say that you wanted Ju Er
to reflect on his mistakes?

I did indeed say that.

But now that I think about it

it isn't Ju Er who should
reflect on himself.

It should have been me.

What use is it that
you keep blaming yourself

for not having taught our son well?

What you should do
now is discipline our son.

We have to make him understand
filial piety and fraternal affection.

My fault doesn't lie in not having
taught our son well.

As the head of the harem,
I didn't take good care of both princes.

That is my fault.

I didn't investigate into this matter

before punishing Ju Er
without a valid reason.

That is an even worse
mistake that I made.

As a mother,
I didn't notice my son's feelings.

I didn't listen to his grievances.

I didn't trust in him.

That was the worst mistake I made.

What you have just said implies that

Madame Wang played this trick by
hurting her own child to frame Ju Er?

That is not what I mean.

I just don't want to accuse Ju Er of
this crime before we even look into it.

There was no one else in
the chamber that day.

Ju Er had the bloody rattle in his hand.

That was the testimony from
your own palace maid.

How is that not to be
considered evidence?

Madame Wang has been in
the harem for three years.

She has always been timid and simple.

She doesn't know how to lie.

Just by looking at her I can
tell what she is thinking about.

She's been haggard and upset recently.

None of that is a pretense.

How could she possibly hurt
her own child to frame Ju Er?

Your Majesty, I've never
suspected Madame Wang.

She is bonded to her child.

Madame Wang couldn't
pretend to be upset.

Moreover, what mother could
possibly hurt her own child

and still speak so eloquently?

Since that is so...

it doesn't make any sense at all to
say that Madame Wang framed Ju Er.

Empress didn't punish Ju Er at all.

Aren't you afraid of being accused
of being biased to your own son?

Madame Wang has been in
the harem for three years now.

Your Majesty knows her well enough
to spot if she is lying or not.

But Ju Er and I have been mother
and son for seven years now.

I know Ju Er's character very well.

Ju Er has always been very
protective of his brother.

How could he bear to hurt him?

Your Majesty, I saw how
helpless Ju Er looked.

That is not the expression of
someone who is impenitent

and lying in order to escape punishment.

Ju Er has always been very mature.

I refuse to believe that
he could have done this.

But all the witnesses and
evidence point at him.

What else can I do
but believe that he did it?

Your Majesty, do you know what Ju Er
said to me in Chuande Palace?

Ju Er pressed his hand to his chest
and said that it hurt so much.

Hurt?

Was Ju Er hurt as well?

Ju Er said that his heart ached.

He said that his heart ached to see
his brother injured and bleeding.

He said that his heart ached to see
his mother worried and upset about him.

But what hurts him the most

is that his father who dotes on him
the most did not believe in him.

Ju Er asked me if you would really
believe that he could hurt his brother.

Do you really believe that
this son of yours

could bear to hurt
his own younger brother?

Your Majesty is here as well?

- Great blessings to Your Majesty.
- Please rise, my sister.

Today is Mother's birthday.

You came here to see me because
you knew that I'd be here?

I haven't had a long chat with my
sister over some drinks for a long time.

Si He, prepare some wine.

Yes.

What is troubling you?

Why don't you speak your mind?

Time flies.

When I was made the Crown Prince,
I was only seven years old.

Then I took the throne at sixteen,
and planted that tree.

Now this ginkgo tree is
fully grown and flourishing.

It is Great Han's blessing that
the tree has flourished.

Now, the inner unrest has settled.

The country is prosperous
and the people are at peace.

My brother has more than one son.

You are sure to have
more sons in the future.

You will be like this ginkgo tree.
Prosperous and flourishing.

You should be happy.

Why would you be troubled by
the children's squabbles?

You truly know me very well.

I heard that First Prince
injured Second Prince

when I arrived at the palace.

That's how I managed
to guess it correctly.

Ju Er has just turned seven
years old this year.

That was the same age that
you were made the Crown Prince.

Do you have plans to
choose a Crown Prince?

I've finally settled Liu An's rebellion.

I planned to ensure stability
to the people with this matter.

But Hong Er was injured and
I began to have second thoughts.

If Ju Er truly is easily jealous

he wouldn't tolerate his brother
after I made him Crown Prince.

Then all hell would break loose.

You are right.

Hong Er might still be an infant

one can tell that he
is smart and adorable.

Madame Wang loves Your Majesty very much

so it is evident that you
now have second thoughts.

You also think that I shouldn't
make Ju Er the Crown Prince?

The Empress and I are no longer
as close as we used to be.

I believe that Your Majesty
has already noticed that.

Now, others have rumored that
we don't get along anymore.

Wouldn't Your Majesty be
worried that I could be biased?

My sister has always been
generous and broadminded.

I believe that you
would be just and fair.

You can speak your mind.

Then please forgive me
for being frank with you.

How is Hong Er's wound?

Thank you for your concern,
Your Highness.

The imperial physician's
medicine is quite amazing.

Hong Er's wound is almost healed.

I can be at ease then.

His Majesty arrives!

- Greetings to Your Majesty.
- Greetings to Father.

You may all rise.

- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Father.

I am at ease now that
Hong Er has recovered well.

It is all due to Your Majesty's
blessings that Hong Er is well.

Now that it is all peaceful,
and the country is in great prosperity

My people of Great Han are
living in peace and contentment.

We have great expectations
for the future.

I know that such peaceful times
do not come easily.

Therefore, we should remain
vigilant in times of peace.

Hence, I have an
announcement to make today.

Now that the rebels of
Huainan are eliminated

in order to bring stability to
the nation and my people

it is time to choose a Crown Prince.

How grand and glorious it was when
Emperor Gaozu founded Great Han.

It is the ambition of all
offspring of Great Han

to guard the nation with a sword.

The heir of the imperial
family should all the more

be loyal and defend the
traditional morals.

He is just like this sword of mine
that can turn steel into dust.

He must strive and protect
our people with great courage.

This sword will be bestowed to...

Second Prince, Liu Hong.

- Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.

I thank Your Majesty for your
kindness on behalf of Hong Er.

Don't stand on ceremony!

I hope that when Hong Er is grown up

he can use this mighty sword
to assist his older brother

in bringing stability and
prosperity to Great Han.

Ju Er, I have chosen you
as the Crown Prince.

Do you have the confidence
to live up to this position?

Thank you, Father.

I will live up to your expectations.

I will study the rites and
classics diligently.

I will train hard in martial arts.

I shall inherit Father's great wisdom
and bring peace to Great Han.

You truly conduct yourself well.

Great! You may get up.

Thank you, Father.

Thank you for your trust
in Ju Er, Your Majesty.

Is this action only evidence
of my trust in Ju Er?

Congratulations to Your Highness.

Your Highness has
taught your son well.

Congratulations to First Prince.

May First Prince be virtuous and
bring blessings to the nation.

Thank you, Madame Wang.

I will be sure to protect my brother
and take good care of him.

- Bai Min!
- Present.

Order Grand Scribe to
draft my imperial decree.

Appoint my first born son,
Liu Ju, as the Crown Prince.

I shall announce it to the
entire nation and imperial clan.

My son Liu Ju is clever and decisive.

He is righteous and kindhearted.

He deserves to inherit the throne.

He will be made the Crown Prince

to stabilize the foundation
of the imperial family

and continue the
prosperity of Great Han!

You can speak your mind.

Then please forgive me
for being frank with you.

After Mother passed away,
Changqiu Palace should be run-down.

But whenever I come here

there are always fresh
flowers in Mother's bed chamber.

Everything in here is
always spotlessly cleaned.

The incense pots in here are
always giving off the aroma of

Mother's favorite, sandalwood.

Do you know who has been so thoughtful?

It is definitely the Empress.

Madame Wang loves
Your Majesty and her son.

That is petty love.

Empress keeps Mother on her mind

and carries out filial
duties for the both of us.

She loves her husband and
loves all that her husband loves.

That is immense love.

According to the rites,
the legitimate son of the Empress

is rightfully the Crown Prince.

What's more, according to the
teachings of our late father

the key to fraternal love is
the virtue of their mother.

Your Majesty shouldn't
have any hesitation.

The sooner you decide
on the Crown Prince

the more reassured the people feel.

You can then avoid any
unnecessary conflicts.

Sister is a keen observer.

You've analyzed the situation with
reason and logic. You side with no one.

You see things far more
clearly than I do.

For the sake of Great Han
and Mother and our kinship

I've only chosen to
put you as my priority.

No misunderstanding or animosity

will ever swallow up the
kinship between us.

Don't be overjoyed with
the birth of a son.

Don't be sorrowful with
the birth of a daughter...

Empress Wei brought great
prosperity to her family..

I am Huo Qu Bing!

Everyone charge in with me!

Charge!

- Charge!
- Charge what?

I'm Great General, Wei Qing.

You have to follow me!

Then I am the Crown Prince.

I shall one day rule the nation!

You shall all listen to my command!

Stop arguing! I am Wei Zi Fu!

All of you have to listen to me!

Let's go to war!

War!

- Bottoms up!
- Bottoms up!

Since I left, you and Jia Er
have had two more sons.

You've become the Great General.

I should toast to you
three cups in a row.

I won't have those three cups with you.
You have to drink them all up.

Uncle is right!

Auntie's Ju Er is made the Crown Prince.

I am given the title of
Marquess of Champions.

You have to toast to us for all
these joyous events.

All right. Everyone is ganging up
to get you drunk.

We'll see how you plan to
wriggle your way out of this.

Why would I want to avoid it?

I am happy anyway.

- Tonight...
- Look at him.

I plan to drink until I drop.

I've been away for so many years.

I had planned to drink in celebration

of the prosperity of those
who used to be in poverty.

This is all due to the new policies
that His Majesty has carried out.

While we gather army provisions,
the farmlands get to rest and recover.

That helps guarantee the
people of their livelihood.

This is also because Duan Hong
promoted the policies in all regions.

We can only face the foreign
enemies in a final showdown

when the people are living
in prosperity and peace.

Then you should be training the soldiers
every day to be ready for war anytime.

This huge battle must be coming soon.

We just need a word from
His Majesty to gear up and fight.

It is Great Han's turn to
stay in peace for eternity.

It's just that this battle
is no trivial matter.

Should anything go wrong...

Knock on wood!
Don't be pessimistic.

Uncle Yi, you worry too much!

We've stocked up provisions and
trained our men and horses.

Our military power is even
stronger than ever before.

Moreover, I'll take the vanguard
with thousands of cavalry.

Uncle will be in charge of commanding
and deploying the troops.

We are sure to wipe out
our foreign enemies!

I think that you would love to get
on the battlefields tomorrow.

Don't worry. It should be anytime now.

Uncle Yi, I have a present for you.

I bet that you'll like it.

I had planned to give it
to you when you got back.

Give me a minute.

Sure.

Young chap, I bet that you're
already anxious to go to war now.

Don't forget to bring a two-humped
Bactrian camel back home.

I'd love to ride it.

You know about Bactrian camels?

There is a lot that I know about!

There are also haloxylon trees
in the western regions.

They grow cistanche fruit
that can nourish the body

as well as treat
internal injuries.

Did you know that?

This is lovely.
You squabble whenever you meet up.

It is a lot livelier in here!

Mother, all three children
are already fast asleep.

Where is Wei Qing?

He said that he has a gift for me
and has gone inside to get it.

It must be the celestial map that
he bought you a few years ago.

I put it away when I was tidying
up the study a few days ago.

I'll go and take a look.

Sure.

You know about Bactrian camels?
You've ridden on camels?

Then I have ridden on albino tigers!

Really?

What's wrong?
Did you drink too much with Uncle Yi?

Anyone there?
Anyone?

This won't do!
I have to go and fetch a physician!

- I...
- Don't!

This must not be known by anyone.

Why?

We are about to face our enemies,
and war is upon us very soon.

We've been planning for this war
for a very long time.

It cannot be put off.
And it must not be lost.

Should His Majesty
learn of my condition

He's likely to change the commander
in order to guarantee our victory.

How could it be likely?
He must change the commander!

Do you still intend to
command the army in battle

instead of staying behind
to nurse yourself back to health?

Only by attaining
achievements and merits

can I guarantee my position
as the Great General.

It is also because of my high rank
and great authority

that I can protect
my sister and Ju Er

who has only recently
been made Crown Prince.

His Majesty employs by one's talent.

There is nothing to be said against it.

But there are always
fierce and cruel people

in the imperial court and the harem.

Favoritism and authority can
change easily in a day.

Who... can predict what may happen?

You have taken everything into account.

But this isn't the first time
that this has happened.

- Jia Er...
- Have you been ill all this time?

Have you just been keeping it
from me this whole time?

I know that you're afraid of
making me worried.

I don't blame you for
keeping me in the dark.

But...

How can you even talk about
achievements with this body?

Qu Bing is valiant and good at warfare.
Let him take the lead.

He can also achieve success and
protect Empress and Crown Prince!

Qu Bing is indeed talented in
deploying troops for battle.

But he is too young.

I'm worried that he might underestimate
our enemies during the battle

and make a grave military mistake.

That is just your speculation!

Qu Bing is young and aggressive.

Yet he holds great military power.

Apart from using my
identity as his uncle

and Great General
to suppress him

there is no one else in the army
that can restrain him.

Should he make a mistake
in his decisions

or go head to head with a senior
general who wouldn't obey him

the outcome would be unimaginable.

The circumstances are as such

that I have no other
choice but to go to war.

But I am worried about you...

Don't be.

It makes me energetic just to think
that I can fight in this war.

I feel re-energized.

Although I've defeated
the enemy six times already

they keep coming back to taunt us
and invade the frontier again.

This battle will ensure a long and
peaceful era for Great Han!

Who else can defeat
their enemy seven times

Who else can defeat
their enemy seven times

and get rid of them
once and for all?

So...

I must go to war.

Jia Er... I wish to go to war.

Can you really hang in there?

I only had a relapse
because of a slight cold.

As long as I take the right vitamins,
I will surely be fine.

But you have to keep this
a secret for me.

This secret must not be told to anyone.

Especially my sister.

Years ago when Wei Qing went to war,
he ransacked the enemies' weapons.

I've had my men study the
wonders of their metallurgy skills

and we have developed wrought iron.

Two invincible swords were cast.

- Wei Qing.
- Present.

I've named this sword 'Lone Star'.

I bestow it to you as proof
of my great trust in you.

May you use this sword on
our enemies and wipe them all out.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

- Qu Bing!
- Present.

I named this sword 'Storming Shadow.'

May you carry all before one
and be swift as lightning.

Before the enemies can react,
they will be killed by this sword.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I will be sure to kill hundreds and
thousands of enemies.

I will make the foreign enemies cry
at the sound of our army!

They will never again dare to
venture into the south of the deserts!

Well said!

This is our last battle in
the northern deserts.

Last time, I awarded you with a manor.

Do you still remember what you said
when you turned down the offer?

I will not have a home until
the frontier is pacified.

I have already given orders
to build you a new manor.

You can move right into it when
you return from this battle.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I will definitely pacify
the frontier with this sword.

I will make the foreign enemies
disappear for good

to repay Your Majesty's kindness.

It is indeed a good sword.

Uncle, why don't we have a friendly
match and try out these swords

to thank His Majesty for his kindness?

What a good suggestion!

I'd like to witness the valiance
of my two best warriors

who make foreign enemies run away
in fear of your names.

Don't underestimate me, Uncle.

I am also a general.

I have been very diligent
in my training recently.

You might not be able to defeat me.

Come on!

Don't underestimate him.

Do your best.

I'd like to see you
put him in his place.

Uncle, watch out!

Great General!

Great blessings to Your Majesty.

I am about to watch Wei Qing and
Qu Bing compete in a sword-fight.

But then Empress and
Great General's wife arrive.

Great General stayed up all night
studying deployment strategy.

He hasn't slept a wink.

Then he came straight to the
palace without any breakfast.

Therefore, Shen Jia came to the palace
with meat soup and snacks.

I have also made a few side dishes.

Why don't you try them, Your Majesty?

Wei Qing, you're fortunate to have such
a virtuous and thoughtful wife.

You must be thankful for that,
and cherish her well.

Thank you for your compliments,
Your Majesty.

Shen Jia, you lost your composure and
yelled out at Wei Qing just now.

Were you afraid that he would
get hurt from the lack of sleep?

Yes.

Don't be worried.

Wei Qing has stormed the battlefields
and eliminated enemies.

He's fought day and night.

It is normal for him to skip a meal,
or miss out on a night's sleep.

It will be fine.

I know.

I've embarrassed myself.

I've prepared some snacks
to boost the appetite and energy.

I wonder if Your Majesty would do
me the honor of trying them?

Auntie, His Majesty has just
bestowed us with great swords.

It's a rare opportunity that I
get to have a match with Uncle.

Why don't we try the
swords out first

before we have a taste
of the soup and snacks?

The soup isn't good
when it gets cold.

She is right.

My steamed bread
mustn't get cold either.

Qu Bing, didn't you say that my
steamed bread is your favorite?

Do you still want some?

Yes! Of course I do!

Your Majesty, please pardon
me for interrupting you.

Please don't let the efforts I made
all morning go to waste.

All right.

Wei Qing has to go and check on
the number of warhorses later.

We'll try the swords out another day!

- Yes.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.

Auntie, have you brought any wine?

Uncle and I are used to having
wine with steamed bread.

Have you missed wine too much?

Your aunties are here to
bring us breakfast.

Why are you asking for wine?

Wei Qing just left the palace for the
stables and you are already frowning.

Is it because you can't bear to be
apart from him, or are you too worried?

It's nothing.

It's just that I left home so early.

I've started to miss my three children.

But I might have to make you
miss them a bit longer.

I saw that everyone likes the
meat soup that you made today.

I'd like you to teach
me how to make it.

Then, before Wei Qing and
Qu Bing set out to war

I can make it for them.

- I...
- I'd also like to add some flowers.

Can you help me choose them?

Add flowers?

It is the same soup but I can't
just make an identical one.

I have to think of something new.

I have two kinds of top quality
edible flowers for cooking.

Albizia helps calm one's
mind and relieve stress.

And this saffron helps remove
blood stasis and relieve pain.

Saffron it is then.

Wei Qing doesn't like
albizias that much.

You always have Wei Qing's
best interests at heart.

You're thoughtful and
caring towards him.

I'm but a little reed
who knows nothing much.

I'm not well-educated and wise
like you, my sister.

You share the burdens
of your husband.

All I can do is take care of everyone
in the manor, and his daily needs.

I haven't done well enough
even in such trivial matters.

You have already done very well.

Everything that you've done for Wei Qing

both he and I can see it,
and take it to heart.

Thank you for looking after my brother.

It is his blessing to have
a good wife like you.

[Great General's Manor]

My Lady.

You're home.

Thank you.

I have already
prepared your luggage.

Your clothing and daily
essentials are all packed.

Then this is...

I am packing my luggage.
I am coming along with the troops.

What did you say?

I am coming along with the troops.

Jia Er, it is dangerous
on the battlefields.

War is not child's play.

How could you go?

Since it is dangerous
on the battlefields

isn't it risky for you to go
to war with your injuries?

Haven't I already explained it to you?

Why can't you try to
understand my difficulties?

I do.

I know that you must go to this battle.

You're doing this for your sister,
for the Crown Prince

for the people of the nation,
and for the ambition of your lifetime!

And I am doing this for my husband,
for my children

for my family,
and for the love of my life!

I wish to stay by your side and
follow the troops out to battle.

This family must not lose its pillar.

Our children must not lose their father.

I cannot lose my husband.

Nothing must happen to you.

I want to stay by your
side to take care of you.

I have to let you get home safely.

Jia Er, I know how you feel.

It is good to have you by
my side to take care of me.

But our three children are still young.

They need their mother
even more than I do.

You should stay home to
take care of the young and the old.

Then I can be at ease to
fight on the battlefields.

That is the best support
that you can give me.

Our three children will be cared for
by Mother and Uncle Yi.

There are also all the maids and
servants in the manor.

I've already made all
the arrangements here.

You don't have to be worried.

No!

As the Great General,
if I forbid you to go

who would dare allow you to
join the troops to war?

Don't you even
think about it!

If I cannot go with you,
Great General is not allowed to go either!
