"Episode 6"
Your Highness.
Hurry. Take Your Highness away.
Great.
With these 10,000 warhorses,
Tian Ning's soldiers will be more powerful.
4th Brother.
-Thanks for the trouble. -You're welcome.
I merely went to escort the bride.
But the fodder for these warhorses,
will be another large expenses.
I have made an order,
to enclose Northern area's land, that's rich in natural resources,
to be used for these warhorses.
The locals,
will be forced to migrate.
Your Majesty, please reconsider.
Only with these warhorses,
will these people be protected.
They've their own means of earning a living.
No need to discuss this matter again.
Today is Your Majesty's wedding day.
I'll excuse myself first.
No rush.
Since there's a free time,
take a hot spring and play chess with me.
Yes.
Royal Uncle, thanks for your hospitality.
Sir, do you know why did I ask you here?
The Crown Prince wants my help...
to kill a person.
I recalled the things that Your Highness asked me to investigate.
I made a bold speculation.
The person that Your Highness wants me to kill...
should be the Duke of Qin.
You indeed have an incredible foresight.
Thus, on the day of his wedding,
I've sent Yu Zhe to lure him to the Chief Minister's manor...
and secretly killed the whole family.
In the end, I'll put all the blame on him.
Why did you assassinate my people?
When Imperial Mother was still alive,
the Chief Minister's family has been loyal to me.
Why did you kill them?
Tian Mo.
Sir, you're indeed capable of doing great things.
Tian Mo.
To succeed, one shouldn't be bothered with trifles.
I think you did the right thing.
This is called a driven behaviour.
Royal Uncle, thanks for your compliment.
Right now, the Duke of Qin's power is getting stronger.
I think the death of a Chief Minister, isn't considered...
as an important matter to His Majesty.
If you really want to kill the Duke of Qin,
we can do it without having to reveal ourselves.
You can find someone who's more powerful to kill him.
You can openly kill him.
You're saying...
-the Imperial Father? -Yes.
Get others to do the dirty work.
This can protect the Crown Prince from being discovered by others.
Thus, it has to be someone from the Crown Prince's side.
But...
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
-Just do as he said. -Uncle.
Thank you, Royal Uncle.
I'll make sure this matter is nicely done.
4th Brother.
You achieved great victory but sustained serious injury.
Your body is full of battle scars.
All for the sake of protecting Tian Ning.
I feel ashamed towards you.
It's my job.
I'm both Tian Ning's official,
and the Duke of Qin.
Surely, I should contribute more.
I should feel ashamed,
to let Your Majesty,
worry on my behalf in the imperial court.
How is this your fault?
You rendered outstanding service in the battle.
But you're already highly ranked as a king.
I couldn't confer any further.
I know that you don't fancy these gold and treasures.
Why don't I bestow you the territory that you opened up,
and confer you as the vassal?
I dare not.
The memories of Zhou dynasty's vassal rebellion is still fresh in mind.
I dare not be the person condemned by history.
4th Brother.
We haven't played chess for sometime.
Why don't you play with me?
Well...
I'll do as you say then.
Two troops confronting one another,
a larger force defeating the smaller ones.
It's only normal to defeat inferior force with well-trained army.
The so-called victory through numerically inferior and weak force,
is merely a tale of the martial world.
One has to also wait for the right time.
Even if you occasionally won,
it's just a fluke and not worth the recognition.
4th Brother, am I right?
You're right.
A huge force against small ones will naturally has it advantages.
But if you devise a ruse,
it catches the enemy off guard with a surprise attack.
A stitch in time saves nine.
So long as the force is powerful,
those who submit to me prosper and those who oppose me shall perish.
Who dares to not concede defeat?
Just look at Western Qiu.
If I didn't guess wrongly,
the invitation to sue for peace should be on its way here.
4th Brother.
You've endured hardships for this battle.
Take more rest at home in the future.
With external and internal enemies to deal with,
I dare not slack down.
Western Qiu is defeated.
Northern Li will be very apprehensive.
They'll have no ability to go for war again in the near future.
As for other matters,
leave them to the ministers.
You just take a break.
One has to somehow take a rest.
You're right.
I'm not good at playing chess.
Sorry for being a joke.
Not at all.
Princess.
Today is your first day in the palace.
Why isn't there any news from Emperor Tian Hui?
Will Emperor Tian Hui not come?
Don't worry, nanny.
Even if he's quite sceptical of me,
but it's my first day here today.
He still has to show due respect for me.
Here comes His Majesty.
-Greetings, Your Majesty. -Greetings, Your Majesty.
Long live Your Majesty.
Rise.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I've long heard of your stunning beauty.
Seeing you today, you've indeed lived up to the reputation.
Thanks for your compliment.
I'm just a weak woman.
To always be by the emperor's side,
having good looks isn't enough.
I just wish to be a consoling lotus.
When you're feeling worried,
I can help to remove your worries.
All right.
It's good that you have such an intention.
I'm satisfied with it.
Your Majesty.
Since you came late,
you must be busy with government affairs.
I have nothing to do.
So, I made a pot of tea.
This is Western Qiu's Xian Hao tea.
Give it a try, Your Majesty.
I couldn't help indulging in the tea fragrance.
It's a good tea indeed.
I'm glad Your Majesty likes it.
It's your first day here today.
I've been busy with work and I'm late to visit you.
Will you be mad?
It's fine, Your Majesty.
How would I be mad?
You're the head of state and have to attend to myriad affairs every day.
You spared the time to visit me in the midst of your work.
I'm extremely happy with it.
How would I be mad at Your Majesty?
A consoling lotus indeed.
With your companion,
I've nothing more to ask for.
It's my role as an imperial consort to share your concerns.
So long as I'm in Your Majesty's heart,
I'm perfectly contented.
Your Majesty, it's midnight already.
So fast?
I have work to attend to.
Rest earlier today.
I'll visit you again tomorrow.
Farewell, Your Majesty.
Princess, will you provoke Emperor Tian Hui with your actions earlier?
Nanny, throw this away.
It wouldn't provoke him.
Although he's not the person who directly kills me father,
he's still my enemy after all.
How can I have no grudges?
He knows this for sure.
When the eunuch said that it's midnight,
he was gazing at you.
Why didn't you ask His Majesty to stay?
More haste, less speed.
Emperor Tian Hui has a suspicious nature.
The more impatient we are, the more suspicious he becomes.
The more you do, the more mistakes you make.
Right now, we have to first eliminate his suspicion.
By then, we'll be able to do more with less.
It seems to me that...
Emperor Tian Hui...
must have been dazzled by your beauty.
Beauty alone can't win a man's heart for long.
Besides, you've seen it just now.
Even if he's mesmerized by my beauty,
he eventually still left.
This is Emperor Tian Hui.
Thus, we have to deal with it carefully.
I'll toast to the two of you.
I felt unworthy on Your Highness's behalf.
The Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is your people.
He had a long grievance with the Duke of Qin.
The Duke of Qin was at the scene on the day of his family's tragic death.
It's an obvious evidence.
Why didn't His Majesty punish him?
That's because he's powerful,
and just returned in triumph.
He has the hearts of the people.
Even His Majesty somewhat fears him.
Your Highness.
You're officially declaring war with the Duke of Qin.
You mustn't lower down your guard.
What can I do?
My Imperial Uncle has always been an overbearing person.
At times, even the Imperial Father has to be mindful of him.
He killed my people.
With no cause of death, this matter went unsettled.
The Imperial Father kept mum about it.
How do I say anything more?
Let's not talk about such a sad issue today.
I've previously obtained some tribute tea.
This is for the both of you.
Only Imperial Father and the Empress Dowager have it.
It's a good tea.
Don't reveal it to others.
We understand.
Thank you, Your Highness.
My Lord.
Chief Clerk of Counsellor,
Commander of Palace Gates,
suddenly died for no apparent reason.
The Chief Minister's case has yet to be resolved.
Another two of my subjects died.
How dare of them to kill my subjects right under my nose.
How daring of them.
They clearly have no respect for me.
Whoever it was,
investigate it!
Make a thorough investigate. Make no tolerance!
I obey your order.
He leaves early and comes home late.
I can't see him at all.
What more the imprint.
It has been 10 days.
What should I do?
Your Highness.
Nanny Zhao.
Are you in a bad mood?
I'm fine.
Don't worry about me, Nanny Zhao.
Actually, His Highness treats people very well.
It's not hard to get along with the Grand Imperial Concubine.
But she has more worries recently.
So, it's not unusual to be in a bad mood.
It'll be all right after some time.
I heard that His Highness was framed,
followed by the cases of ministers' sudden death.
Has His Highness cleared himself of the suspicion?
The Grand Imperial Concubine is unhappy because of this matter.
I heard that His Majesty ordered General Mu to investigate these cases.
But up till now, there's no progress at all.
His Highness has been busy.
He must be investigating these cases too.
The whole family has been killed overnight.
There are not many with such means in the Capital.
Moreover, His Highness was caught red-handed.
It's normal for others to suspect him.
On top of that, there are cases of ministers' sudden death.
It's hard for His Highness to clear his name
That's right.
I heard that they have been killed,
with a type of poison that's impossible to tell.
His Highness will never use such a despicable way.
-Poisoned to death? -That's right.
If it's poisoned to death,
find out the type of poison and follow the lead from thereon.
It's unlikely to have no progress at all.
I don't know about that.
Didn't you say, there are many poison experts and you don't need me?
I'll prove to you then.
I'll get some leads first.
Get over to the Icy Prince and check out the situation.
Since His Highness works so hard,
please prepare chicken soup.
-I'll personally bring it over to him. -You should have done that earlier.
His Highness will surely like it.
I'll go now.
The coroner could only determined they were killed by poison.
But he couldn't find out the type of poison.
Imperial Medical Institution is ordered to assist in investigation.
But even so, they couldn't find out the type of poison.
Come in.
Your Highness, you've been tired these days.
So, I brought a bowl of chicken soup.
Give it to Xi Feng.
Your Highness, let me serve you.
I'll excuse myself.
You're dismissed if there's nothing else.
Your Highness.
I have something to say.
Go ahead.
Western Qiu's princess is here for a marriage alliance.
She's not that simple.
The young Crown Prince has just succeeded the throne.
Within a short time, those ministers with great authority have been killed.
The Imperial Uncle too.
We have to guard against him too.
Right.
On the other hand, things went well with General Bai Li.
There's a lead for the corruption case.
What about His Majesty?
So long as the framed case isn't solved.
His Majesty has a reason to cast you aside,
and use this opportunity to remove our right-hand man.
Thus...
with Chu Qing Ge's appearance,
it's not necessary a bad thing after all.
Emperor Tian Hui has a suspicious nature.
He surely suspects that,
Chu Qing Ge is here for an ulterior motive.
While he's busy dealing with Chu Qing Ge,
it gives us the opportunity.
If there's nothing else, you can be dismissed.
I have something to report.
Your Majesty.
The death investigation for the former Chief Minister and the two ministers,
have been carried out for sometime.
The killer is still at large.
Your Majesty, please follow up on this to bring calmness to the deceased.
I have handed these cases to be fully handled by Mu Qing Wu.
Is Minister Mu here?
I'm here.
How's the progress for these cases?
Searches were conducted,
at all the drug stores and medical clinics in the Capital.
However, no one is able to identify the poison found in the deceased.
Type of poison is undetermined.
Thus, we couldn't determine the type of poison used.
Forgive my incompetence.
Please punish me, Your Majesty.
Imperial Father.
I think that Minister Mu can't be blamed entirely.
Other than the witnesses for the Chief Minister's case,
there are no other leads.
I believe that General Mu has done his best.
Your Majesty, the indicator for this case is very obvious.
Why can't the case be concluded?
Is it because the suspect is the Duke of Qin?
All are equal before the law.
I seek for Your Majesty's understanding.
Your Majesty.
The evidence of this case seems to be pointing at the Duke of Qin.
But up until now,
there's no solid evidence...
that can prove that the Duke of Qin is the killer.
Your Majesty.
There are people who saw the Duke of Qin at the Chief Minister's manor.
The death symptoms for both ministers are similar to the previous case.
They were the Duke of Qin's political opponents.
Is that obvious enough?
General Mu deliberately concealed the evidence to protect the Duke of Qin.
What are you saying?
I'm just telling the truth.
You're in the imperial court.
Behave appropriately.
Royal Uncle.
In your opinion, how should this be handled?
Replying to Your Majesty.
I think that what they said make sense.
Right now, the Duke of Qin is the main suspect.
If Your Majesty don't act on the Duke of Qin,
it will be hard to convince the people.
But there's no solid evidence.
In your opinion, what should be done?
I think that...
Your Majesty can first remove the Duke of Qin's position,
and withdraw his military power.
When the truth comes to light,
we can decide again.
4th Brother.
What do you think?
I obey the imperial decree.
Uncle.
I didn't expect that we could easily relinquish his military power.
It seems like he's not as great as we thought.
You mustn't be careless.
Although things went well,
the Duke of Qin could turn things around at any time.
We'll not make any moves for the time being,
so as to not catch the Duke of Qin's attention.
If he finds even the slightest clue,
all that has been achieved will go down the drain
I understand.
Uncle, don't worry.
All thanks to that Mr Gu of yours.
This person is extremely smart.
He seems like a hearty person.
In fact, he's vicious and merciless.
You're currently in need of help.
You should win over more people like him to be your strategist.
But remember...
once you found out that he is disloyal,
you must kill him.
Right, uncle.
Few days ago, I escorted Consort Qing with Imperial Uncle.
I realized that Consort Qing seems to have enmity towards Imperial Uncle.
The Duke of Qin defeated Western Qiu.
Surely she has enmity towards him.
If Consort Qing could strive for favour,
and bring Noble Consort Xiao down,
perhaps...
that would implicate 2nd Prince too.
Let's silently observe as the changes unfold.
4th Brother.
Please don't brood over the things that occurred in the court today.
My hands were tight too.
After Mu Qing Wu finds out the truth,
I'll do you justice.
Don't be.
I too hope that the truth will come to light soon...
and prove my innocence.
I'm glad that you would think in such a way.
Since I have no official position,
there isn't a need to go to court.
I can relax at home for a few days.
How can that be?
I have no official position.
If I go to court,
it might draw criticism from others.
I hope that you'll approve of it.
Since you've said so,
I'll not force you anymore.
You're a newlywed.
Are you satisfied with my arrangement?
I've been in the expedition for years.
No one takes care of my mother.
Thanks for the betrothment, Your Majesty.
I have no more worries then.
My concubine...
comes from a medical family.
She has knowledge of medicine.
If my mother or I are sick, she can look after us.
Thanks to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager for your goodwill.
I'm glad that you're satisfied with it.
I heard that the Imperial Concubine of Qin is very beautiful.
She's a match to you.
Thanks for the compliment.
The Western Qiu's princess has gotten into the palace.
Western Qiu dares not make a move now.
But there's Northern Li still.
Northern Li's ambassador, scouts...
would infiltrate into the internal affairs,
and quietly diffuse the conflicts.
It keeps me sleepless at night.
Don't worry.
As long as I'm here,
I'll make sure that you'll be free of worries.
The Crown Prince has a weak character.
Other princes have no matriarch's support.
They couldn't be put to use.
I can only rely on you, my imperial younger brother.
Yes.
"Xian Yun Pavilion"
I'm adept in poison testing.
I'll dress up as a maid and leave the manor,
and investigate the poison that caused the death of the ministers.
I'll follow the leads and find the culprits.
With this, I can prove that...
I can stay by the Duke of Qin's side.
Once he lets his guard down, it'll be easier for me to make a move.
Wait for me to come back.
Why does it feel like they've fallen asleep?
Do Your Highness find anything odd?
Did you smell something different?
A scent?
It's like...
It's a little similar to the scent of sandalwood.
The bodies are in the coffin home.
That would be evidence.
Burning sandalwood might destroy the clues on the bodies.
They wouldn't do that.
Well, since the scent wasn't caught from the coffin home,
then it was caught when they were alive.
But what exactly is that scent? It's so odd.
It's been stored here for over 10 days.
The scent is still around.
Investigate at every manor.
Especially spices, incense and so on.
Yes.
There's a similar scent on their bodies too.
Also, their death symptoms are similar to the Chief Minister's family.
But the whole of the Chief Minister's family died.
They died alone instead.
The Chief Minister's family...
should be poisoned in a confined space.
Whereas these two ministers...
were poisoned separately.
That explains.
Check out...
what they ate and used when they were alive.
Uncle.
-How to go to the coffin home? -Keep going straight.
You'll arrive after taking a left turn at the intersection.
Thank you.
Turn left.
“Hua Xi Kou”
Qi Shao.
Thanks for your Shen You herbs.
Poison girl.
You became pretty. I almost didn't recognize you.
Thanks to your Shen You herbs.
Since I've helped you,
how do you thank me then?
I've something important to do now.
After I'm done, I'll look for you at the Yao Gui Valley.
Keep your promise.
No matter what, I can't lie to my saviour.
Moreover, I haven't met Bai Er for a long time. I miss it.
All right. It's a deal then.
Pinky swear.
Anyhow, what's a man like you doing here all by yourself?
This is my shop.
It turns out that this renowned Hua Xi Kou belongs to you.
That's right.
There are plenty of natural plants in Yao Gui Valley.
It's very suitable to be used for producing rouge for the ladies.
Come.
Although you have became pretty,
you still have to remember to take a good care of yourself.
This is my newly-developed cleanser.
If you wash your face with it,
it's clean, gentle and removes impurities and nourishes the skin too.
I'll give it you. Take it.
So nice of you.
After I'm done with my work, I'll treat you to a meal.
-I'll leave first. -All right.
Qi Shao, we can't get too close to her in Tian Ning.
Otherwise, we could endanger her.
I shouldn't be concerned.
I shouldn't have wild fantasy.
-Greetings, Your Highness. -Rise.
I didn't think that this would trouble Imperial Physician Han and Gu.
Thank you.
As officials, it's our job to share His Majesty's concern.
Imperial Physician has a laudable loyalty.
I heard that you have an apprentice,
who has superb medical skills.
I wonder if I could have the pleasure of meeting him?
Your Highness.
Have you mistaken it?
I've... never had any apprentice.
Well, maybe I have mistaken it.
Please.
Your Highness.
Our Imperial Concubine is quite a big liar.
I'm late. Forgive me, Your Highness.
Sir, it's fine. Have a seat.
Your Highness seem to be in a good mood today.
You came just to watch Yu Ze dance.
Yu Ze has astonishing dancing skills.
I miss it dearly after not watching it for days.
But I asked you here today to thank you.
You flatter me.
It's my job to share the Crown Prince's concerns.
Don't mention it.
You're being modest, sir.
The Duke of Qin is in trouble with the murder cases.
Imperial Father stripped off his military power too.
I thinks it's only a matter of time before he's imprisoned.
His Majesty stripped off the Duke of Qin's military power?
The Imperial Counsellor requested His Majesty to severely punish the killer.
If Mu Qing Wu wasn't so set in his ways,
the Duke of Qin would have been put behind bars.
You ordered others to impeach the Duke of Qin?
Yes.
Do you find it inappropriate?
No.
I was just thinking that it's better not to make any moves.
Why is that?
This matter has nothing to do with Your Highness.
If Your Highness continue to be involved,
I'm just afraid that it would arouse the Duke of Qin's suspicion.
You're indeed imaginative, quick-witted and a foresighted person.
My uncle has too warned me as well.
I'll order them not to make any moves.
Here. Please, sir.
Stand there.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Officer, please make an exception.
My uncle's still in there waiting for me to claim his body and be buried.
You can't do so without the official document.
The former Chief Minister is still lying down in there.
The new Chief Minister has yet to come in.
My aunt has cried and fainted a numerous times at home.
Please have some mercy on us.
You can't do so without the official document.
Let me get in and have a look then. Just a look.
-Then I can get it over with. -Are you leaving or not? Leave.
Otherwise, I won't be so easy on you.
Fine. Why are you so fierce?
Miss!
