Her Highness the Empress Dowager grants Princess Anhe ten thousand taels of gold
and a fief spanning a thousand mu (approx. 100 hectares)
as part of her dowry.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Ten thousand tales of gold,
and ten hectares of land.
This is more than what a royal Princess would get for her dowry.
Thank you for making my wish come true, Father.
It's just too bad that your wedding was done hastily.
I'm still a little worried.
If you force Prince Cheng in marriage,
it may harm your relationship with me.
It's alright.
Prince Cheng has always been very kind to me.
As long as I become his Princess Consort,
his heart will be with me.
After a few days, his anger towards you will lessen.
Your Majesty.
Your Highness feelings towards Miss Hang is witnessed by the sun and the moon.
If he doesn't do it like this,
what else can he do to save Minister Hang's family?
You can say I am sorry towards Yunxian.
Brother Emperor, just give out your decree on how you want to deal with me.
I feel that the more punishment I get, the more I'll feel better.
All of these are my mistakes.
If I only agreed to personally lead the army earlier,
then this will not happen.
Qiyu, I don't blame you for this situation.
It's all my fault. But now you are being forced by the situation.
If you want to go, then go.
But this situation will block Yunxian.
If she knows a day later, then it will be a day less that she has to worry
After this is resolved,
I will then find a way.
How is it?
No news yet.
It seems the Emperor and the Prince has not found a solution yet
to reverse the crime of General Hang.
What's the most important thing right now is not giving your father justice, but
give your father peace.
And we don't know if your father is alive or dead.
Grandma, father will be alright.
Dad, in any case, is a 3-star ranked official.
I heard that the Oirat Grand Preceptor is a rational person.
He will definitely not hurt father.
Minister, this given by someone outside.
They said this is regarding Master.
Do you want me to look for Your Highness and let him come out?
Hurry up, guys!
You, hurry up! Catch up!
Xiao Ma Zi
Minister Hang.
Qiyu is going to marry Princess Anhe.
Is this the truth?
Why does he lie to me?
Minister Hang.
His highness is doing this to save you.
Hence, he has no choice but to agree to marry Princess Anhe
How did this happen?
Just because of this
he agreed to Duke Wang.
Minister Hang.
You and the prince's journey,
I have seen it all.
Maybe,
maybe your meeting was a coincidence.
Please don't think about the Prince anymore.
His heart is more pitiful than yours.
These past few days, he was always forcing himself to smile.
He is afraid that after you know,
you wouldn't be able to handle it.
He really is a fool.
There will still come a day that I'll know about it.
For you, his highness is willing to do anything.
Minister Hang,
you're upset. His highess' heart
you don't know how much he is suffering.
I understand.
Xiao Mazi
Pretend I wasn't here today.
Okay?
Minister Hang, don't be upset.
After the prince is done solving this problem,
he will definitely come explain everything to you himself.
Dared to talk bad about me in front of Your Majesty...
But I think that Director's purpose is not as simple as making her suffer, right?
It would be better if she dies.
The Emperor and Prince Cheng will then fight relentlessly against the Empress Dowager.
At that time, just to depose the Empress Dowager, the Emperor
will surely agree to lead the army personally.
Then I wish that Director can be a General soon.

Qi Yu!
Minister! Help us!
Someone fell into the water! Someone please come!
Someone please come! Someone fell into the water!
Help us!
- Minister! - Yunxian...
Yunxian...
Yunxian, how are you?
How are you?
How are you? Are you okay now?
Minister...
How can you do such a stupid thing?
What do you usually tell me?
Have you thought about your father and grandma?
Have you thought of me and the Empress?
I wasn't committing suicide. I was just...
You dare to still talk tough?
Xiao Shuen Zi, prepare the carriage and let's go back to the Palace.
- Hurry! - Yes.
Ding Xiang, go and get some clean clothes. Xiao Shuen Zi,
- call the medicine woman. - Yes.
It will be alright.
Your Majesty, do you want to have a change of clothes too?
- Take good care of her. - Yes.
Your Lady Highness Empress Dowager has arrived!
Your Lady Highness Empress Dowager, it's already very late.
Why are you here in my palace?
I heard that Your Majesty earlier
carried a criminal into the palace.
Your Majesty, don't forget.
Miss Hang's father is a government officer that is a criminal.
Your Majesty, you are the ruler of the world.
You must be a model
and not let your citizens ridicule you.
Hang Yunxian learned that Prince Cheng has married somebody else so she has jumped into the river and has died already.
The one I brought here is the Empress' cousin.
It just so happen that her surname is also Hang.
You think
that with that you can fool everyone?
Then when years ago Empress Dowager stole me and made me your biological son,
didn't you also hide it from everyone?
And also, you were able to successfully get the Empress position.
Empress Dowager...
you are really pushing me too much recently.
Pushing me to a point that I'm close to admiring you already.
But don't you forget, I am still the Emperor!
I am still the head of the Ming Dynasty.
If at this point
you still won't let me go,
do you believe that I might suddenly become insane and accidentally killed my mother?
What are you doing?!
Don't know what happened but she suddenly fell into the water.
Good thing, Your Majesty saved her.
Most likely, she's okay now.
Minister Hang is already inside the Palace.
She went as far as committing suicide?
Little Sister Hang has committed suicide?
How about if Your Highness quickly go and see her?
Princess Consort, thank you for caring.
She's already inside the Palace. She most likely will be okay now.
Thank you for being so magnanimous and generous.
And also being so tolerant of others. You really are a daughter from a noble family.
I am already the wife of Your Highness.
How can I not think for Your Highness?
Xiao Ma Zi, you go back first.
Yes.
Mei Lin
You are a Princess Consort now.
Your Highness...
After we visit the Empress Dowager tomorrow,
I plan to take Yunxian back here. You don't have any objection, right?
Of course none.
Little Sister Yunxian loves Your Highness deeply.
She deserves to be a consort.
What I want her to be is a Noble Consort.
But don't you worry.
In the imperial family tree, you are still the main wife.
As long as Empress Dowager agrees,
I'll let Your Highness decide.
Thank you Princess Consort for being highly principled.
I am very grateful.
For Your Highness to say these, you are treating me as someone unrelated.
We are now a couple.
It's just that it's already late now.
Your Highness, do you want to rest early?
I am currently in an unquiet state of mind.
I also don't want to bother your rest.
Tonight...
it's better for me to sleep in the study.
Please rest early.
You guys take good care of the Princess Consort.
Hang Yunxian...
Hang Yunxian!
Minister, you just got a cold earlier. It's better that we get inside.
Your Majesty has already personally carried you here into the Palace.
You should stop hurting your body already.
So what if Prince Cheng married someone else?
There's still a lot of men in the world.
You told me that you won't take things too hard.
But how come you committed suicide?
Ting Xiang...
whether you believe it or not,
I really didn't think of committing suicide by jumping into the river.
Then why did you go there?
I just wanted to run after him.
It's already very late. Hurry and get inside.
Let me stay here alone to think.
This way...I can feel better.
Look...
he really treats me well.
Just to save the lives of my whole family,
I could even forgo my own marriage plans.
What stature and abilities do I have
to be able to meet such a virtuous man?
Zheng Qi...
why did he
not tell me first?
Even if in the end there's really no other way,
I won't be this painful like now.
My heart...is really painful, so painful.
Don't worry.
Everything will pass.
If worst comes to worst,
I'll just get rid of Wang Meilin's Princess Consort status.
You can then still marry Qi Yu.
It can never be.
As long as the Empress Dowager is still alive,
all of these can never be.
Yunxian...
Listen. I'm swearing in the name of being an Emperor
that I will won over Empress Dowager.
Let you
and let the Empress
and also let myself
not to live so full of grievances.
Official Hang, try this.
You taught me how to make this gelatin (a variation of gelatin derived from donkey tissue used in traditional Chinese medicine to restore blood ) and seed porridge.
The gelatin was finely ground and cooked with extracted seeds,
then put into rice porridge. It can restore blood and supply energy.
- Try it. - Thank you.
Soon, Prince Cheng will enter the palace to pay his respects.
Do you want to go somewhere to avoid him?
Do you really not plan on seeing Prince Cheng again?
But you will run into him whether you like it or not.
Ding Xiang,
what I wanted
was to meet "the one"
and never let go of his hand.
I never thought
there was another woman who wanted to marry him.
Do you want me to say what is reasonable
or do you want me to tell you what I think inside?
What difference is there?
Reason: Prince Cheng has been good to you.
He did that all because of you.
If it's the way Wang Meilin says it is,
he could give you a concubine's position, just for you.
The following days will be happy and fulfilling.
What I think inside: You're not out of options.
Why must you be a play-thing for others?
You'll be propped there
and no matter how much the Prince favors you, as long as you enter the palace
and see the Princess Consort, you still have to kneel.
Furthermore, you still want to treat patients in the future.
As a concubine, you must show your face all day.
How could you not be drowned by other people?
it'll give Wang Meilin a reason to direct you.
At most,
I could just not marry.
That's good too.
Even if Prince Cheng can get rid of Wang Meilin and marry you,
you can only count as a substitute.
But I can't let go of him.
You can't let go of him? Does that mean you can let go of other people?
Official Hang, don't forget
Old Madam Tan's heart is set you to marry someone good.
Do you want her to go to the palace in the future
secretly through back doors?
I fear they will go to Chujiu Palace to pay their respects.
Let's go to Taiye Court to avoid them.
I agree.
I may be over speaking,
but if you are still willing to be with Prince Cheng in the future,
you need to be careful of Wang Meilin.
She was hand raised by the Empress Dowager.
Her perception, her abilities...
You cannot outdo her.
I know.
Why is Yunxian not here?
Your Highness!
- Yunxian! - Your Highness!
Wait!
Yunxian, listen to me.
Yunxian!
Yunxian, Yunxian!
Just open the door first and let me explain!
There is really nothing between me and Wang Meilin.
I didn't have any options!
If I didn't marry her,
Minister Wang would have never pardoned your crimes!
I know...
I know.
It's because I know that I don't know how to face you.
I always thought I could avoid you at first
so it would be easier for your heart to bear.
Yunxian, I was wrong.
My relationship with Wang Meilin,
really is just a marriage by name.
The person in my heart that I truly love
is only you.
I don't want to leave you.
Yunxian, if you don't mind,
could you be my concubine for now?
Qiyu...
I'm grateful for all you've done for me.
Let me think. ♫ The memories are fading in front of my eyes ♫
♫ Many years later, all the stories turn out to have similar endings♫
♫ Don't say you love someone, don't say but Please do not overdo the tears ♫
♫ Gains and losses will always come around in a cycle ♫
Minister Wang is really a man of his word.
It's so soon
and the very-ill Minister Wang can already write letters.
As long as Minister Cheng can testify
that General Hang really fought the enemies with valor and was forced to surrender
then your sacrifices
weren't really for naught.
Really?
Why do I think this matter, from beginnign to end,
seems like it was an arranged performance?
It wouldn't...
I think the Princess Consort is quite good.
At least, she told everyone
that she wants to take Official Hang in.
Such a kind heart is truly rare.
I want to thoroughly investigate Minister Wang.
But right now,
I cannot let him become suspicious.
Princess Consort.
Your Highness, I brewed some chicken soup. Drink some.
How could I burden you with such matters?
In the future, just have a courtesan do it.
Slowly.
It smells nice!
Your-- Your Highness...
Come.
Between husband and wife, we don't have to be so courteous.
Hurry. Get ready.
Tonight, His Highness will definitely return early.
Go on quickly!
Yes.
Congratulations Princess--
no, congratulations Princess Consort.
Now His Highness is so kind to you,
so your efforts have finally been returned!
But why is he suddenly like this to me?
He still ignored me yesterday.
Didn't His Highness pay a visit to the imperial pharmacy?
I heard Yunxian didn't even let him through the door!
Your words are more effective.
His Highness is a man of pride.
How could he let a female official rage towards him?
Bring the peach blossom colored gown here.
- I want to wear that one tonight. - Yes.
You guys go out now.
Yes.
Your Majesty, it's getting late.
How about you go to sleep?
Your Majesty.
You should sleep.
There are still lots of things to do tomorrow.
Since you're already part of the Medicine Bureau, then concentrate on your studies.
Or else, I will punish you like Cunxia
to dry collected herbs everyday.
Yes.
Finish reading this new book I got about pustules and rashes.
Take note of all important information.
I'll check on you later.
Yes.
Actually, it's a good thing if you don't marry Prince Cheng.
If you became the Princess Consort, learning medicine would definitely have been a wasted effort.
Thank you, Teacher.
- What are you doing here? - Get out of the way!
- You can't come in here! - Get out of the way!
- You can't come in! You can't come in!
I'm Princess Consort Cheng. My body's not feeling well,
am I actually not allowed to come to the Imperial Faculty of Medicine to get it check out?
Pharmacist Han, what do you think?
I'm not a physician.
If Princess Consort isn't feeling well,
you can proceed to the front clinic.
There will be an Imperial Physician there to check your pulse.
But it's you who I want.
Didn't you jumped into the river already?
How come you didn't die?
Prince Cheng can't forget you until now.
When we're outside, he acts like we were in love.
But when we're inside, he wouldn't even say a word to me.
It's exactly because of this,
that my chest hurts from too much anger.
So...this illness...other than you...
no one can cure them.
I'm just a female official.
I'm sorry I cannot do anything
regarding matters about the Cheng Residence.
No.
Unless you die,
will only this thing be really over.
What are you planning to do?
I won't do anything.
The one who will do something is you.
I won't touch Wang Mei Lin.
Even though we are married by name,
but the truth is nothing has happened between us yet.
Qi Yu
This is what your plan is?
But from what I can see, Yunxian is already firm on her decision.
Even if she learned that you did this for her,
she will still be unable to accept Wang Mei Lin.
I know.
I will use time to prove my sincerity.
Brother Emperor, from this I get to understand one thing.
Duke Wang already knows that I am loyal to you
but why did he insist on having her daughter marry me
despite Empress Dowager's opposition?
If you say that he loves her daughter more than his life, I will not believe it.
I think there's only one possibility.
That is he and Empress Dowager
are not as one.
But don't he always wanted to impeach me
and support you to become the Emperor?
But Brother Emperor has not lost all ministers' support.
I think Duke Wang also understand this.
And he also doubt that Empress Dowager can continue her glorious reign in the future.
That's why he did such a scheme.
This way, even if something happens to Empress Dowager in the future,
the Wang Family can still be protected.
And if something happens to me,
then he can easily rise up to the ranks. This scheme of his is really brilliant.
That's why we must borrow their power to defeat them.
Duke Wang thought that he already had me tricked,
but still he left some traces that gave himself away.
Regarding this thing with General Hang,
it was easy for the Duke to prove his innocence. It only shows that this thing was most likely
the Duke's doing to begin with.
Brother Emperor, if you can give me some skilled people,
this way I can investigate well the Wang Residence.
Okay. I will immediately send you some skilled agents from the Eastern Depot.
The security in the Wang Residence has always been very tight.
But at this time, you can take the chance that there is low security to enter it.
Okay. If we can bring down Duke Wang,
then Empress Dowager will not be a threat to us anymore.
At most, you just want to threaten me.
I'm not afraid. Please get out.
What a strong imposing manner.
It's just I don't know
how long can you stay proud like this?
Remember that if you don't have anything to do,
go home frequently.
What do you mean by that?
If you have a backer,
I also have my Auntie Empress Dowager.
Your Emperor and Sister Empress
cannot even protect themselves now.
So what can they help you with then?
You should know that in this Palace, 1 corpse 2 lives
is very common.
Tan Yunxian...you should look out for yourselves.
Bury it.
Little Miss
Grandma
Why are you back home at this time?
Rushing like that,
did something happened?
Grandma, is everything okay here?
Everything's fine.
Oh, right.
Xiou Qiou, the cat, was still fine yesterday.
But today, it suddenly died.
Who...did it?
What who did it?
It's just a cat. Who will want to hurt it?
I already looked at it.
It looks like it ate something bad
and choked to death.
Your Lady Highness!
Hurry and go away!
Minister, you're finally back.
Something bad happened to Your Lady Highness Empress.
Imperial Physician Liu just checked her pulse earlier.
Your Lady Highness Empress is now fine.
Empress Dowager has a decree.
Have all wild cats running around in the Palace
be beaten to death.
What Your Lady Highness hates the most right now
- are wild cats. - Yes.
