[The Trust]

[Episode 26]

[Ci'an Palace]

Mother is watching us.

Morning, Mother.

You may rise. Sit down.

Your Majesty, I heard about

this morning's court session.

For your offspring,

pay more attention to it.

Mother, you're right.

I just...

Yu just now talked about it with me.

Really?

Yu's a good girl.

I'm very pleased.

It's a pity her health was damaged,

unsuitable for childbirth.

It'll take long for her to recover.

During this time,

you may as well...

I never burnt the sterilization incense.

I just inhaled a little.

How can I be unsuitable for childbirth?

Mother,

I think for the sake of the country,

we'd take the eldest son as the heir.

That's it.

Very reasonable.

It doesn't matter

who gives birth to the eldest son.

I hope good news comes soon

to resolve the court's disputes.

Maid Hong.

Yes.

Deliver my orders

to send a tonic to Yehua Palace

for Lady Pei and Your Majesty.

Yes.

[Fengyi Palace]

Your Highness.

Are you awaiting His Majesty?

No.

The sunset is beautiful.

I'm out to recite poetry.

Queen Mother asked His Majesty to

visit the Yehua Palace,

and sent them dishes from Ci'an Palace.

Dices?

You mean it?

Not, she sent dishes,

and a tonic containing

lamb kidneys,

deer blood and oysters.

Your Highness,

do you get me?

Your Highness,

why not let me send some fruit

to remind His Majesty?

Of what?

As the Empress,

how can I stop him

from loving other concubines?

Baojian, fetch and bake

the lamb leg Huna gave me

from the ice cellar.

Yes.

I must obey Aunt's order.

Just a play. Don't be serious.

Play?

Days ago,

are the officials persuading me to treat concubines equally

all your father's students?

He has students all over the world,

but only a few really know him.

Don't label our Pei Family.

Just to remind you

of behaving yourself

for peace and love.

We've had the tonic and wine.

You may leave.

I'll report to my aunt.

Thanks for cooperation.

See you.

Take care.

I wondered why he ignored me.

Now I find him not a real man.

Ping.

Coming.

Throw away all utensils His Majesty used.

They irritate me.

Lady...

Hurry!

Yes.

Jiang Tang.

Your Majesty, there you go.

Nice to meet you.

Forget about the etiquette.

Your Majesty, why're you here again?

Why haven't you

sent me the last dose of medicine?

Your Majesty,

I've been suffering on the snow mountain for three months.

Can't you just let me take a breath?

Is it that one over there?

Your Majesty.

His blood is boiling and rushing to Baihui acupoint.

Is it...

because a gentleman loves beauty.

What's she doing inside?

Her Highness is...

Why're you here?

While I favor a concubine,

how can you eat a roasted lamb leg

and point a knife at me?

You can take a tonic.

Why can't I eat a roasted lamb leg?

Why eat delicious food

with someone else?

I also want it.

How do you know what I ate?

Mother's award is known to the entire harem.

Don't you feel jealous at all?

The mutton should be eaten with cumin.

Sour vinegar is pointless.

You!

I won't tease you.

You know what she's like in private.

It's impossible for you to favor her.

I'm not worried at all.

That's it.

Come on.

You!

What?

You said

the mutton should be eaten with cumin.

But you can't lick my hand.

I took a tonic and medicinal wine.

I ran so far just to see you.

♫ Lend me a little bit of luck so I can meet you ♫

♫ Lend me a little tacit understanding so I can be very happy ♫

Don't you think

you'd fulfill the duty as the empress?

♫ Don't worry ♫

♫ There are many storms in this world, I will give you a small piece of sunshine ♫

Knowing there's something wrong,

why did you still drink it?

♫ During our lifetime ♫

How can I let Mother down?

It's for Lady Pei.

But I only love you.

♫ It has been detected by you (me) ♫

♫ Please don't complain about my dullness ♫

♫ Luckily, the Love Lord doesn't mind it ♫

♫ Let our past experiences become red threads ♫

♫ Bring you and me together ♫

♫ First, thank heaven and earth to bestow me with you ♫

♫ See through our two true hearts by trusting each other ♫

♫ It might be a promise made three lifetimes ago ♫

♫ We won't separate for four seasons ♫

♫ Steal the tacit understanding of marriage in five elements ♫

♫ You're the one and only in six realms ♫

♫ When I'm seventy years old and meet you ♫

♫ I'll still feel flipped like we were young ♫

Your Majesty, time for the court session.

The rooster crowed for times.

It's not a rooster, but a fly.

How can there be a fly?

If you don't go,

they'll accuse me

of being a disastrous empress.

Silly girl.

Today is a day of rest.

You forgot about it.

I really forgot about it.

Mother told the concubines to greet me.

They may have waited at the door.

I think it's better to

let the harem rest as well.

But Mother said...

Wudu.

Your Majesty.

Ask the harem to go back.

Today I'm happy. Reward everyone.

Yes, Your Majesty.

As you ordered.

Yu, Wudu left.

They'll laugh at me for what you did.

I mean,

Wudu left.

Her Highness always gets up late.

His Majesty sleeps here every night.

No wonder she gets up late.

I heard Empress Dowager gave him a tonic.

Lady Pei failed to make him stay,

but Her Highness got the benefit.

Two ignorant women.

No need to visit Her Highness today.

Ladies, please go back.

Great joy!

His Majesty rewards everyone.

What for?

For the harmony under Her Highness's governance.

He did so out of happiness.

Duke, you win again.

The rule is that the pieces on the corner have the highest value,

those on edge have less, and those in the center the least.

But Marquis,

you put it in the center to begin with.

I'm not good at this.

Thanks for the lesson.

I don't think you're bad at it,

but a master in handling things.

I owe it all to your cultivation.

If only Xiao Jinyun can be

half as reasonable as you.

Today in the court,

thank you for speaking well of me.

The promotion was put on hold,

but there're few people

in support of His Majesty,

so you can rest assured.

Prime Doctor is always impartial.

Will he...

Prime Doctor has always been impartial.

His Majesty has ignored Lady Pei for the past year.

Prime Doctor must have been disappointed.

He won't help him.

Few people in the world have such insight as you.

You are the one and only in the world.

Huna must be looking on

to reap the harvest.

In the North,

we can only persuade

the Northwest barbarians.

I've arranged for them as you said.

Is everything going smoothly

at Qingyun Village?

Qingyun Village is Yunyang Earl's fiefdom,

so everything is under control.

Duke, don't worry.

These blades are well-made.

Hengshan Duke must like them.

Thanks for your praise.

The blade is made of refined iron

and quenched in horse blood with perfect timing.

Making blades for half my life,

it's the first time I've made such a good one,

so I sent it to you.

Good blade.

Dad,

let the treasurer give me more monthly money.

Recently, I was neglected

by girls from Xunfang Brothel.

They went too far.

But Yi, as a man,

you've to practice horsemanship and archery.

Because only with power can a man

conquer everything.

Dad, you're right.

I've such a powerful dad.

That's my power.

Am I right?

Absolutely.

But no money.

Your Majesty, why're you here?

Is it hot?

Not at all.

For the past half year,

so many things have happened.

It's long since she practiced swordsmanship.

It reminds me of the days at home.

Now this is also our home.

Here you are.

When I gave you this Jingni Sword in my childhood,

I was nervous for a long time.

I thought you didn't like it

so you gave it to me.

But I didn't expect you'd

beg your father for it for days,

and almost were beaten.

Why laugh? Don't you admit it?

After all these years,

everything has changed

except for this sword and you.

Your Majesty,

why do you look so worried?

Now even you can see through me.

Tell me what's bothering you. Let me help you.

At today's court meeting, Hengshan Duke proposed

to appoint Zhenbei Marquis

as the first-class marquis.

The point is all the subjects agreed.

What for?

For his contribution of pacifying the North.

But the North was pacified...

by Xu Family.

I don't want to take credit,

but it's a fact.

Don't worry.

I've resolved the unfounded rumor.

What's Prime Doctor's opinion?

He's always impartial.

What's more...

Forget it.

Tell me.

I didn't take the tonic and wine

the way Mother said.

She complained.

Did Mother blame me for that?

No, she didn't.

Speak up.

I'm okay.

She said I can't only favor you.

Even not for offspring,

I've to balance the court and harem.

These two are closely tied.

Your Majesty, you might as well win over the harem.

It may facilitate political affairs.

How to?

Your love is the only thing they want.

S-so...

No.

It's getting dark.

Do you really want me to go?

Your Highness, how come?

Hurry to go

before I regret it.

If I really go,

don't regret it later.

Just go.

Awaiting your good news.

I'll go now.

Go ahead.

I mean it.

Hurry up.

Ping, look at my eyebrows.

Are they well-painted?

Lady, it's already late.

why bother...

Can't I please myself?

You're the prettiest in the court.

Yes, Xinzhu is the prettiest in the world.

Your Majesty's here.

Xinzhu, I'm here to visit you.

Your Majesty.

Talk business. I'm busy.

She asked me here.

Tonight you're Madam Pei.

Do me a favor.

Favor me?

[Yehua Palace]

Your Majesty.

Hold on.

Later you'll feel comfortable.

Your play has gone too far.

It's...

It's...

Xu Yu,

why are you unhappy?

You made this happen.

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Your Highness, bad news.

What happened?

His Majesty did go to the Yehua Palace.

I know.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

I don't care.

But Your Highness,

His Majesty had fun with Madam Pei.

The laughter in Yehua Palace

can be heard by Qianyuan Hall's director.

Madam Pei?

Yes, Lady Pei was promoted

to Madam Pei for His Majesty was happy,

second only to Your Highness.

Lady Pei is Prime Doctor's daughter.

She deserves it.

She deserves it.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

His Majesty left Yehua Palace

to C-C-Cheng...

C-C-Chengxi Palace?

And then to S-S-Shu...

Shuyu Palace?

[Shuyu Palace]

I heard you favored

Madam Pei and Ms. Tao tonight,

and then came here.

What do you want to prove all of sudden?

You're always clever.

Don't make fun of me this late.

Hope senior ministers

know your diligence in the harem tonight,

and show more concern for you.

Talk business.

Has Hengshan Duke suspected you?

His Majesty hopes you can

make up for your mistakes.

I understand.

To protect my parents,

I'll do whatever His Majesty

and Your Highness want.

For now,

play the role of Ms. Qin.

I can tell right from wrong,

but I want your mother to do so as well.

When back at Hengshan Mansion,

please cooperate.

Yes, I understand.

I see.

I came here to urge him

to contact you again.

I understand.

I'll rise to the occasion.

Ms. Qin,

I'm satisfied with your performance today.

Your surname is Qin,

I bless you with "Zhen" from the Book of Songs.

From now on you're Ms. Zhen.

What do you think?

The Book of Songs says,

"The peach tree is slender and sturdy, exuberant and green are its leaves."

Ms. Zhen becomes energetic,

no longer as weak as before.

Who's Zhen?

Don't interrupt.

Wudu said the poem's last lines

mean a harmonious couple with many offsprings.

Many offsprings?

Your Highness, don't be angry.

No, I don't.

What should I be angry about?

You mean it?

Your Highness, I just wanted to say

His Majesty was coming.

Baodao, Baojian, stay here.

Are you going to kill me?

Are you angry?

Not at all.

Don't be angry.

Let me explain the reason.

I'm vulgar,

less reasonable than Ms. Qin.

No, Ms. Zhen.

It was because I wanted to

see you in a hurry

that I ran through the harem in one breath.

In the meeting tomorrow morning,

the advisers are sure to let me

take care of my health.

Xu Yu,

who suggested me to visit other concubines?

It's...

Wait.

Why don't you say something?

Why don't you comfort me when I cry?

I know you well.

You not only look sweet

but you are also magnanimous,

wise and able to see the big picture.

Don't flatter me.

From the moment you left,

I know I'm the most selfish

Empress in Dasheng.

But I love such jealous Yu.

Your Majesty,

I know all the rules of the world,

but...

but in front of you,

I seem to be the most

selfish woman in the world.

Yu, sorry to make you suffer.

I've figured it out this time.

I'll squarely confront Third Uncle.

You'll force him to return to his fiefdom?

Yunyi,

now you're good for nothing.

How dare you fight against me for a woman?

I'm telling you,

I'll be back on top soon.

You don't deserve to flatter me then.

Bullshit.

Stop fighting.

Fight somewhere else.

Don't you know whose turf you're on?

Get them. Drive them out.

Yes.

What're you doing?

Who're you?

I'll fix you up.

How dare you make trouble here?

Why's Yunyi here at Jing'an again?

Hasn't his father Yunyang Earl

been demoted to a commoner

and retired to his fiefdom?

Duke, this sword is a bit strange.

This type of sword

is forbidden by the court

for personal possession.

But he is the son of Yunyang Earl,

and loves to show off,

so it's not surprising.

Look carefully, the sword is new,

and it's not from the court's treasury.

Send men to keep an eye

on the two fighting just now.

Yes.

Father, these weapons were all seized

from battles with Northern people,

which our army usually uses.

The blade is hard and its body is tough,

but the tempering is barely satisfactory,

so I don't think these are

from the Imperial Arsenal.

The Imperial Arsenal

only manufactures

such type in winter seasons,

but the water temperature for tempering it

isn't cold enough.

Father, shall we report it to the court?

Don't alert them.

If someone in court

is making weapons secretly

and we report it recklessly,

they'll have time to destroy the evidence.

How do you plan to handle this?

I want you to

secretly go to Jing'an

for an investigation.

Yes.

What are you doing?

Binding up our hair.

So boring.

Don't bother me.

I'll go on sleeping.

If you want to sleep,

we can spend the whole day in bed,

okay?

It won't do.

I've important matters to attend to today.

What matters?

I'll tell you once I'm ready.

Do whatever you want.

Can you help me untie this knot?

You're mocking me.

No, I'm not.

Are you bored with me now?

No, I'm not.

- You're. - I'm not.

- Aren't you? - I am.

How can you prove it?

How can I?

Your Majesty, Jinming Duke is here for you.

What for?

I've no time.

Tell him I've something

very very important and urgent,

and let him come out now.

Your Majesty, he asked you

to come out right now.

Xiao Jinming, I'll...

Wait.

Why didn't you say the first sentence?

I forgot.

Poor memory.

Tell him if he doesn't go out,

I'll get in now.

Your Majesty, Duke said

if you'd not get out,

he'd go in right now.

Brother.

Ask Xiao Jinming to wait at the study.

Lord Xiaoyao,

why don't you inform me

in advance before seeing me?

Your Majesty,

this is a newly made forbidden weapon,

left by Yunyang Earl's son Yunyi

at Xunfang Brothel.

Yunyang Earl?

Brother, we must take it seriously.

Third Uncle has always been scheming.

Now he dares to privately make weapons.

His true colors will be revealed soon.

We're not sure if it's secretly made by someone.

Why not let Xu Youran and me find it out?

Jinming, my decision to order Third Uncle

to return to his fiefdom

is sure to cause a disturbance.

You two must be very careful.

Brother, don't worry about me.

It's you who still have to be worried for long.

Moreover,

I've Xu Youran protecting me.

[Divorce Agreement]

I've signed the divorce agreement.

The ownership of comics belongs to you.

From now on, we are even.

[Xu Yu]

It's useless.

What do you mean?

I mean nothing.

The Trust has been updated

with many readers and great popularity.

Now all rights are yours.

Aren't you satisfied to sign up?

These are not enough.

I've done whatever I can.

It's up to you.

Xu Yu.

Xu Yu.
