[The Trust]

[Episode 24]

What's wrong?

It's moldy?

Moldy?

Senior Doctor,

do you think

His Majesty is sick

because of Ms. Tao's pastry?

It's just a routine investigation.

I can not draw that conclusion.

Please have a good rest.

I'm leaving now.

Your Highness, I left the spoon behind.

Your Highness.

You are still young.

Why are you so forgetful?

It's not about age.

I'm suffering from staying up.

You may be excused and rest now.

I'll stay with Queen Mother.

Queen Mother.

Your Highness.

I don't want others to know about my illness.

They've been taking care of me

day in and day out.

They must be exhausted.

Mother, allow me

to feed you medicine.

Thank you

for taking care of His Majesty.

No need for that.

I ought to take care of him.

You've worked hard.

You should go to sleep, too.

I'm not tired.

His Majesty is fully recovered.

Please allow me

to stay by your side.

Mother.

Ms. Pei, you are in a good mood today.

What's going on?

I like your

cheerful and ruddy face.

I enjoy talking to you. You'd always cheer me up.

I'd be happy if you are.

The flowers are withered.

I'll throw them away.

I've brought fresh ones here.

Hold on.

That's the first flower arrangement

we finished together.

I'll keep it.

I'll press them between the pages of the book

and dry them.

Can we use the book The Mistrust?

If you insist.

Look, Ms. Pei.

How do you like the flowers today?

You should be extra careful.

I'm afraid something's happening.

Why is that?

Innocent and naive as you are,

you can bear no secret.

Anyway,

if I take the chance

and win His Majesty's favor,

you can count on me

in the harem.

I don't get it.

But as long as I'm with you,

I feel assured.

Aunt.

Rise up.

Your Highness.

Thank you for last night.

I just made some

cubilose porridge with white fungi. Have a try.

Don't bother. I'm going back.

I'll leave it to you.

Mother, I'm leaving.

Your Highness.

Aunt is ill now.

You rule the harem now.

The position you hold is unmatched.

Please take good care of yourself.

Ms. Pei is right.

Don't leave in a hurry.

Enjoy the porridge with me.

Yes, Mother.

[The Mistrust]

His Majesty arrives!

His Majesty?

What's up?

I know it's been a while.

But you should remember the courtesy.

With respect, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Hold on.

I save that osmanthus rice wine

for Xinzhu.

Ms. Tao.

Do you know your wrongdoing?

Your Majesty.

I don't know what you mean.

That's the rose pastry I made.

Baodao taught me the recipe.

I found poison

in the pastry you made.

That's what made His Majesty hysteric.

Ms. Tao.

Why would you do that?

Your Majesty, I didn't do it!

Tell me the truth

or I'll imprison you.

Your Majesty, I didn't do it!

However you want to punish me, but that's the truth!

Her Highness arrives.

Your Majesty, it's lunchtime.

We can question her after we finish.

Baodao is a good cook.

Look at the braised pork.

It's tender with a rich aroma.

Don't you think?

I wonder if Ms. Tao

can think of an answer.

Ms. Tao.

Hurry up. Recall it.

Only then can we share this feast.

Ms. Tao.

What food did you make today?

It's a rice pastry

stuffed with roses.

Roses?

May I take a look?

Sure.

Look! The artificial rock!

There's a squirrel eating a drumstick.

Squirrel? Drumstick?

That's strange.

No squirrel. No drumstick.

I didn't see anything.

I know!

It's Ms. Qin.

On my way to Ci'an Palace,

Ms. Qin touched my food box.

Ms. Qin.

You may eat.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Rise up.

You look surprised to meet me.

Why are your hands still shaking?

I'm infirm.

It's just an old ailment.

An old ailment?

Do you mean guilty?

Does he ring a bell to you?

You did something

to this rose pastry, too. Right?

Verbal order from His Majesty.

Ms. Qin has been serving for three years.

Due to her meritorious service with no deficiencies,

she shall be promoted to a noble lady.

We hear that your mother is in the capital city.

We summon her to the palace

from her staying in Hengshan Duke's Mansion.

End.

Mother.

It's been three years.

How are you and father doing?

Great.

We're doing great.

Did Hengshan Duke seek trouble?

Not at all.

Young Master Jinyue is nice to me, too.

By the way, Yuwei,

I made a pair of shoes for you.

I don't know if they fit.

Let me put them on.

Mother!

Good girl.

Come over.

You are born with a high instep.

I don't know if the shoes here

fit you or not.

These ones fit me. Please be assured.

I'm doing well in the harem.

What's going on?

You are such a sensible child.

When Grandpa Hengshan

recommended you here in secret,

he used you as his spy in the harem.

Your dad and I are aware of it.

His Majesty arrives.

Your Majesty, Your Highness.

Ms. Qin, His Majesty

has sent guards

to protect your father.

Can you tell us the truth now?

I poisoned the food

following Hengshan Duke's order.

He said Your Majesty

was not fully recovered.

The poison would make Your Highness delirious.

But the poison was harmless to others.

No one would suspect.

Your Majesty, my daughter is ignorant.

Please spare her life.

I'm willing to take the punishment for her.

Please spare her. Please.

- Mom. - Your Majesty.

Mom.

Did Hengshan Duke

ask you to defame me

using Ms. Li's abortion?

Qin Yuwei,

Your crime deserves

the extermination of nine generations.

Extermination...

Your Highness.

After conditioning for days,

Aunt is much better now.

Thank you for your help.

It's my pleasure to help you

and serve Aunt.

What's wrong?

His Majesty does care about me.

I feel suffocated.

Shall I ask Ping to come here?

You need some rest.

I'll find the doctor.

You really look pale.

What's wrong with your eyes?

What do you want?

No doctor could cure me.

It's a secret trouble.

What?

I admire Your Majesty for years.

I stick true to my aspiration.

I...

His Majesty is so smart,

gallant,

and handsome.

I appreciate your faithfulness.

You finally understand me!

Whoever you become,

my heart is always yours.

Look at you! What a joyful scene!

I like the harmony.

That cheers me up.

My illness did something good. It's worth it.

Aunt.

You've taken good care of me.

I feel much better now.

I'd like to take a walk.

Come with me.

I'm all yours.

Let's go.

How I admire her to act cute!

Mother.

Little rabbit.

Where's your mother?

Are you homesick?

There have been lots of things happening.

It's like a dream.

Your Majesty.

Why are you laughing?

I'm laughing

at you, my Empress.

A rabbit is all that you control.

Of all the living things in this yard,

my rabbit is the cutest.

Right?

Fine. It's cute.

I'm not.

I was about to tell you some good news.

Wudu, let's go.

What good news?

It's about the ceremony.

Huna is coming.

Huna is coming!

Huna is coming! Huna is coming!

What's so special?

You look really happy.

Of course, I am!

I can eat mutton legs!

Hold on.

I was you when saving her life.

What to do?

This broth tastes amazing!

I thought you were on a diet.

Now you're eating again.

Queen Mother asks us to practice thrift.

Our rations are cut down by half.

We must not waste food.

You eat like a bird.

I'm here to help.

I can eat it up!

You're good at finding excuses.

As long as there's food,

you'd be extra smart.

I've figured it out.

Chubby or skinny,

we are beautiful in our own ways.

If I got chubby

because of the feasts,

I'd take it gladly.

The food and you.

Those are the two things I cannot live without.

That's crystal clear.

Well, it's a blessing.

It's better to please yourself than others.

This one is yours.

I'm so lucky.

Ms. Pei, the fish eye is good for your eyes.

I did figure something out recently.

Quen Tartar of the North

will pay tribute soon.

That has nothing to do with us.

It's said that Huna is very beautiful

and smart.

His Majesty appreciated her when in the North.

Fair enough. It's her trouble.

Let's see what she'll do about that.

Ms. Pei, are you done with His Majesty?

No, I used to be confused.

Now, I finally understand His Majesty.

[Hengshan Duke's Mansion]

After you.

Duke, Marquis is here.

Duke.

Director Jing committed suicide.

Duke.

His Majesty approved Queen Tartar

to pay tribute here.

Huna is different now.

What's on your mind?

I've been thinking about

dealing with Huna.

Now she's here,

we should try to win her over.

Duke.

I'm afraid you're losing.

That's not right, Marquis.

Look at the north side of the chessboard.

It's still vacant.

That's right.

When playing Go,

you need to focus on the details

while paying attention to the big picture.

Keep an eye on Huna.

I want to talk to her.

Yes, Duke.

Gan, do you think

the Emperor and I can still be intimate

like when we were in the North?

We're only here

for the peace between Sheng and us.

I don't know.

Are you thinking about

a marriage alliance?

I just enjoy getting along with him.

I hope we are still friends.

When in the North,

the Emperor sought your help.

He played up to you.

But in Sheng,

he's the Emperor.

That's hard to say.

Gan, don't you defame him.

Huna! Abuhun!

It's been a while!

Glad to see you!

Your Highness.

General Xu.

Right after hearing about your arrival,

I can hardly wait.

So I sneaked out to greet you.

Finally,

I find a rival of my level.

Martial art sparring, shall we?

Stop tickling with your punches.

This is my home court.

Tough talk as usual! Seriously?

I'd leave you here. Believe me?

General Xu, it's been a while.

You really enjoy sparring matches. As usual!

For martial artists,

practicing is necessary.

We've got plenty of time.

General Xu, you may practice with Gan

once we settle down.

That makes sense.

Or he'd say I'm taking advantage.

[Hehe Hotel]

Here we are!

Your Majesty. Your Highness.

Your Majesty.

Huna.

I know you'd greet me here!

You wouldn't put on airs.

Dissolute!

Same as before!

How can you explain this?

It's their courtesy!

By the way,

this is the Empress of Sheng, my wife.

Your Highness.

Huna, don't stand on ceremony.

Your Highness?

Right.

I was injured in the North.

She was worried about me.

So she dressed up as Jiang Tang's apprentice to check on me.

Later, state affairs called for her.

Besides, I was nearly recovered.

So she left without saying goodbye.

I didn't get to introduce her to you.

I thought ladies of Sheng

would be pampered.

I didn't expect the Empress

to dress up as an apprentice

and travel a long distance

to take care of him.

I admire your behavior.

I'm flattered.

Huna.

You and Abuhun have traveled a long distance.

Please take a rest.

We shall meet tomorrow at the feast.

Your Majesty.

I brought you some lambs.

Shall we roast one for tonight?

Just like what we did in the North.

Let's get drunk. It will be fun!

But tonight...

I have something else to attend to.

No, we don't! It's roasted mutton!

We can stay for dinner.

Huna.

I've got official duties.

Her Highness has her plan.

We must leave.

Wait for me.

Sheng's Empress

did not guard up against a strange woman at all.

Intriguing.

Why so hurry?

I didn't get to talk to her.

I want to catch up with her.

You'd have spoiled it if we hadn't left!

Behave.

Are you ready?

Why are you dragging your feet today?

Stop pushing me!

I still don't know how to treat her.

Are you afraid?

Wudu?

Your Highness.

Bring Diviner here.

I'll have him swap

His Majesty with me.

You might be afraid.

I really enjoy playing with her.

Fine.

I'm wondering

what secret would Queen Huna

share with Yu.

What do you mean?

That's the friendship between gentlemen.

It might be for you.

She might not think so.

Are you saying

every girl would have a crush on you?

I know I'm handsome and smart.

And I'm well-educated.

These qualities have been haunting me.

Even though Huna is a woman,

she's very decisive

with a strategic vision.

Zamusi appointed her

as Queen of the North.

Even if she adores you,

it's not because of your appearance.

You know her very well then.

We are confidants.

Confidant?

Fine. We'll see.

Be sure to remind me

if she speaks of something I don't know.

The feast is about to start. Just go.

Stop.

Your Majesty. Your Highness.

May Sheng and the North

share peace for all generations.

Peace for all generations!

Peace for all generations!

Your drinking set looks delicate.

It's beautiful.

But it's too constrained.

Huna is one of a kind.

Why don't we drink with bowls?

It seems Your Highness is also great-hearted!

I've brought some strong spirit of the North.

I would love to drink

with Your Majesty again.

The spirit is called Duanhujia.

It's stronger than our white liquor.

You used to drink from such big mugs in the North?

Obviously,

the Queen is challenging His Majesty.

Let's wait and see.

The bowl is so large.

You're the Emperor and a hero.

You've earned my admiration.

I know there's an old saying

that a confidant is one of a kind.

His Majesty is newly recovered.

He should not drink.

I'll drink on his behalf.

I really like drinking with bowls!

Your Highness shows her hospitality.

What about Your Majesty?

I've just recovered...

The spirit is an elixir.

Your Majesty,

why not drink it up

like the old times in the North?

It will cure your illness.

But...

That's beyond him.

I'll drink on his behalf.

Cheers.

Xu Yu.

Xu...

My Queen never gets drunk.

That's my younger sister, the Empress.

She's never drunk, either.

My dear sister-in-law!

That's her!

Just like old times.

Good for you.

Your Highness.

Drinking alone is boring.

How about a match?

Fight well.

She can even be a match for Sister-in-law!

She must be a hero...

heroine.

No wonder she's the Queen of the North.

Heroine?

I can tell Yu's behavior and drinking capacity clearly.

Could it be...

they're swapped back!

Great! They're swapped back!

What's swapped?

The pear on the table.

The melon seeds are dry.

Try the pear. It's juicy.

Thanks.

Wudu. Wudu!

Your Majesty!

Are you okay?

Your Majesty! Doctor!

Call the doctor!

Hurry up.

Are they back?

Yeah.

Queen Tartar was carried back.

Your Majesty.

The way you fainted looked so real.

If it hadn't been like that,

it would have ended up badly.

I know Xu Yu.

She'd run wild after drunk.

Her Highness kept drinking.

It wasn't just a drinking match.

It was for the peace between the North and Sheng.

Sorry, I spoke out of turn.

Please spare me.

Your Majesty. Queen Mother is in Fengyi Palace.

What?

Your Highness.

Drink!

Your Highness, time to sleep.

Go on!

No, I won't!

I won't!

Bottom up!

Your Highness.

Queen Mother.

Queen Mother

Go to get the hangover soup.

Yes, Queen Mother.

Hold on.

Don't touch me.

I can fetch it myself.

Why are you so drunk?

No, I'm not.

You must be drunk.

How wild you are!

When I was your age,

I was pregnant with Jinyun.

Jinyun?

I love him so much.

I love the way he reads.

The way he approves documents.

The clumsy look when holding a bow.

The way...

he's afraid of bugs.

I love every detail of him.

Until...

until I married him.

I thought happily

that I'd meet him often.

But I waited for months.

He never showed up.

Then...

we fell into the pond.

Here.

Have some honey water.

It's hot.

Okay.

Are you feeling cold?

I'll take you to bed.

Let's go inside.

Okay.

Here.

Come on.

Honey.

What?

I'm sorry.
