General and I (A Lonesome Fragrance Waiting to Be Appreciated / 孤芳不自赏)

Prince of Zhenbei asked me to bring these to you.

In addition, he told me to tell you that it's the second night.

In Great Jin, if a man truly wishes to marry a woman

he will remain celibate for her three days in a row.

You're awake?

I've written you a prescription.

Try and get your medication soon according to the prescription.

Take it regularly and you should... get well in about six months.

You mustn't move.

You have to recuperate and rest well.

Sir, thank you for saving my life.

Thank you, our savior!

May I ask for your name?

Chu Bei Jie will surely repay your kindness!

Your name is Chu Bei Jie?

Father.

I found plenty of ribbon bush.

Yes.

Bear this in mind.

From this day forth, we must never meet again.

You're not to come looking for us either.

Will you remember that?

- But sir... - Enough!

Those medicinal herbs will relieve your mother's symptoms.

Go and get them decocted.

- Kill her! - Burn her to death!

- Quickly! - Kill her!

- Burn her to death! - Kill that woman!

It's that woman in this tent!

She brought plague upon us!

- Burn her! - It isn't so! It isn't like that!

Please calm down!

Hear me out!

The plague! It wasn't brought here by that woman!

I can also treat your illnesses!

Believe me!

Why should we believe you?

Burn him! Burn him!

Father!

They are setting fire to the tent! Hurry up and save them!

Mother.

Mother, bad news!

The tent is on fire! Get up quickly!

Burn them to death!

Quickly!

- Burn them to death! - Run!

Hurry!

- Quickly! - Burn them to death!

Mother!

Father!

Father...

Our savior!

- Mother! - Father!

Fear not, my daughter.

I'm all right.

- Father! - Our savior...

We have implicated you.

Madam...

Do not blame yourself.

This is all destined to be.

I knew that I would come across such a mishap.

There is no running from it.

- Father! - Our savior!

Although I don't know who you are...

Your child...

He will become...

He will become a huge threat to Yan State.

By right, I should have him killed.

But I can't go against the will of the gods.

Leave now.

From this day on, don't bring up what happened today.

Father!

Chu Yu kowtows and thanks our savior for saving our lives.

We can only repay your kindness in our next lives.

All right.

If no one else followed us here

you should leave as soon as you can.

I have nothing to repay you with.

I don't have anything valuable while traveling out here alone.

This one hairpin I have will now be given to your daughter.

May she be blessed with safety and remain carefree for all of her life.

Chu Bei Jie...

It actually is you.

Destiny...

This night turns out to be so hard to pull through...

Chu Bei Jie...

I'm afraid that there won't be a third night for us.

Your Majesty.

Rain is drenching his clothes.

Allow me to talk him out of it.

Let him do as he pleases.

Your Majesty, the 200 imperial guards failed to hold Prince of Zhenbei back.

He is now heading toward the execution grounds.

Rascal!

Carry out the execution!

Why are you still here after the execution?

Where is she?

Spare me, hero!

Where is her corpse?

The corpse?

It was sent to the tailor at the market to sew the head back on.

Then they will drag it to be buried in a mass grave.

Hero!

Where is she?

That... That's the one.

Brother Murong!

Brother Sima!

Welcome!

Thank you.

Did I keep you waiting for too long?

If it were someone else, I wouldn't wait even a moment longer.

Has all gone well on the journey?

I have the assistance of Great Jin's king.

It surely went well.

Brother Sima, is this not...

You're right.

This is the territory of Great Yan.

How is it?

Isn't this quite delicately made?

However, I had to get this readjusted recently.

Brother Murong, what do you think?

I'm willing to share 10 copper mines with you

to thank Brother Sima for settling civil unrest for Great Yan.

I'm afraid that Brother Murong hasn't quite settled into your throne.

I've recently heard that He Xia is still alive.

He's going around wreaking havoc with the remnants of his household.

It terrified the people of Great Yan.

He is but a spent force. It's hopeless for him.

There's nothing to worry about with them fooling around.

Brother Sima shouldn't have to worry about such trivialities.

However, the maidservant with the surname Bai that you mentioned...

Where is she now?

Since she is the person Brother Murong is after

I'll surely let you take her away safely.

I just can't help but wonder who this Miss Bai is.

King of Yan is actually willing to

exchange five more copper mines for her.

Your Majesty of Great Jin.

You're taking it a bit too far.

She is still in my hands.

Whether you get to take her with you depends on your sincerity.

King of Yan is indeed meant to be a king.

You love your lands and even more the beauty.

I'm very impressed.

Where is she?

She is on her way here.

Fret not.

You made it here faster than I expected.

I beseech Your Majesty to tell me the truth.

Is Bai Ping Ting dead or alive?

Wasn't she already taken to the execution grounds?

I thought that you'd seen the corpse.

That wasn't Bai Ping Ting.

This was just a setup planned by Your Majesty all along.

I can tell you that the woman you love isn't dead.

However, to me and Great Jin, that bewitching spy of Yan State is dead.

I exchanged a dead person for 15 copper mines with King of Yan.

I am quite pleased with such a result.

I knew that Bai Ping Ting isn't dead.

Did Your Majesty swap her in secret?

Perhaps we should say that Bai Ping Ting had herself swapped.

Do you not fear me?

Your Majesty is a true son of the dragon.

The gods are protecting you.

Evil spirits are to stay away.

What do I have to fear?

You're indeed one interesting woman.

I don't wish to cause Prince of Zhenbei sorrow.

It's just that you had exposed your true identity in court.

You have to die.

Furthermore, you have to die before the public.

For all to see.

Hearing such words from Your Majesty, it seems that my life is in no danger.

I wonder what terms King of Yan has negotiated with Your Majesty.

You truly are very intelligent.

You could even make out the purpose of my visit.

However, what baffles me is

how King of Yan found out that you're in my hands.

Do you know who notified him?

Even if I did, I wouldn't tell Your Majesty.
