Secrets of Three Kingdoms (三国机密 / San Guo Ji Mi)

How is she?

Can you staunch the bleeding?

Sister Ren! Sister Ren!

Hong Chang!

Hong Chang...

Hong Chang...

I thought that I could... see you off at your funeral.

Who knew...

you'd have to bury me first.

Don't worry, I'll look after those children.

I've saved you once...

Repay me by...

promising me not to hurt those young people.

In such turbulent times...

they have shown me a glimmer of hope.

Yes.

I promise.

I never got to settle down in this life...

I'm exhausted...

You've won a city, a state, and the world over with your beauty.

Now, just rest in my arms.

You're not to drink excessively again.

I'll be watching over you.

Wait for me. You won't be lonely for long.

Sister Ren...

Libationer Guo!

Palace Steward Leng!

Bring Libationer Guo his medication!

Palace Steward Leng!

Leng Shou Guang?

He's also injured!

Libationer Guo!

Palace Steward Leng!

Palace Steward Leng!

Where are you wounded?

- Your Highness... - Where are you hurt?

How could you come here?

Palace Steward Leng...

This is all because of me...

You've done all of this for me.

When I first met you, you were only 14 years old.

But I was already disabled then.

I just wanted to stay by your side to protect you for life--

Palace Steward Leng--

Who knew that I wouldn't be able to follow through on it?

Stop talking. Don't say another word.

My mentor...

Take... take this.

My mentor...

My mentor was well educated in many different fields.

I was the most timid among my fellow disciples

so I'm only fond of medical practice.

The "Book of the Green Salve"...

This is the greatest grace of all that my mentor left behind.

Hand this over to His Majesty.

"Book of the Green Salve"?

Is there a way to heal injuries in the "Book of the Green Salve"?

Is there a way to heal injuries in it?

Leng Shou Guang!

Shou Guang...

Shou Guang...

Your Highness...

You've finally... called me by my name.

I...

I... I'm so happy.

Pi.

Pi, did you kill Wang Yue?

Are you all right?

Are you hurt?

Pi!

Are you all right?

Wang Yue couldn't have possibly tried to assassinate me for no reason.

The dead have passed on.

Those who survived should all the more stay strong.

I'll investigate this to avenge Sister Ren and Palace Steward Leng.

Wang Yue came just at the perfect time

when all the guards were relocated to Cao Cao's military camp.

I suspect that Cao Cao had this assassination premeditated.

It's impossible.

First of all, Wang Yue would never obey the orders of Cao Cao.

Secondly, if Cao Cao had me killed

he'd be notorious for life for killing the emperor.

The other feudal lords are bound to launch war upon him together.

He would never attempt to do so.

However, Yuan Shao is already dead.

Who could possibly be behind this?

Could it be that Wang Yue still obeys the orders of Yuan Shao's sons?

You're right.

Wang Yue obeys neither Cao Cao nor Yuan Shao.

Ever since he showed up, all he wanted was to seek revenge.

Could it be that someone has told him about the truth behind Wang Fu's death?

But there are only a few who knew of the truth.

Could it be Yang Xiu?

We don't know who it is yet.

However, he must be here with us.

Come in.

My father told me to ask how you are doing.

Second Young Master...

When did you start training with Wang Yue?

Libationer Guo, you must be joking.

That day at the Green Emperor's ritual

Wang Yue nearly killed me.

How could I possibly learn his swordsmanship?

Although I'm not trained in martial arts

it doesn't mean that I can't recognize the various martial arts stances.

Second Young Master...

Master is extremely perceptive.

You're playing with fire right under his nose...

He won't tolerate you.

I don't know how to convince you.

But I truly am loyal to my father.

Not once did my loyalty waver.

Heaven and Earth can be my witnesses.

I'm willing to swear to the gods

If I didn't mean what I said, if I have any other ulterior motive

may the gods disfavor me, Cao Pi.

Strip me of a long life.

Ruin my achievements.

Libationer Guo, are you all right?

Leave my room.

You're on your own now.

I'll ask His Majesty to come over to see to your illness.

I treated my own illness once.

Junior Leng also treated it.

Your Majesty is almost a fellow disciple of ours.

You should understand that sometimes, there's only so much you can do.

It's best not to insist on certain matters.

Palace Steward Leng passed down the "Book of the Green Salve" to me.

Doctor Hua was one miraculous doctor.

Perhaps, there's a way to defeat destiny.

It's fruitless, Your Majesty.

Even if my late mentor were alive

he would have said that I had this coming.

I know that I don't have much longer to live.

Since I've already assisted Duke Cao in pacifying the north of the Central Plain

I have no regrets.

However, Your Majesty should have much more to worry about apart from my life.

A man should worry about matters concerning the nation

not one's honor or failure.

I believe that you know me well enough.

Just as I know you well.

Zi Huan!

Father.

What are you doing here instead of looking after Libationer Guo?

His Majesty is attending to Libationer Guo's condition.

I don't dare to disturb them, so I'm keeping guard out here.

Is he my libationer or His Majesty's libationer?

Your Majesty.

How is Feng Xiao doing?

I've prescribed two medications for Libationer Guo.

It might help relieve his pain.

Even Your Majesty doesn't have a cure to his illness?

Palace Steward Leng once said

that he could prolong Libationer Guo's life by 10 years.

However, my medical skills aren't as good as Palace Steward Leng's.

Today, Libationer Guo...

His pulse is weaker.

I wonder if this is because he was startled by

Wang Yue's attempted assassination a few days ago.

Wang Yue...

I've already investigated it.

On the day of the assassination

someone happened to reassign all of Your Majesty's guards away.

There's actually a traitor by my side.

I'll be sure to get to the bottom of it

so as to uphold justice for Your Majesty and Libationer Guo.

I'd like to speak with Master in private.

Your Majesty, Young Masters.

Please leave.

I'll think of other methods to cure your illness.

Libationer Guo, please take care.

Pi, what is the matter?

I'm a bit worried about Libationer Guo.

So am I.

How is Guo Jia's condition?

His pulse is frail.

I'm afraid he won't live long.

Even the "Book of the Green Salve" can't save him?

I don't know.

If only Palace Steward Leng were here...

Guo Jia...

Will he tell Cao Cao about the secret before he passes away?

That's enough.

Your Majesty.

Libationer Guo...

The scope of his mind and intelligence is second to none.

I've always wanted to warm up to him and win him over.

However, even at such a time, I still can't help but doubt him.

Once you've practiced the Wangs' Swordsmanship...

you can never be rid of... fear and fury.

This is my gift to you as well as a curse.

Minister Cao has summoned Second Young Master to his tent.

There's to be no delay.

Why has he summoned me?

I do not know.

Step down.

Yes!

What's wrong, Your Majesty?

Do you hear that?

That's the sound of hooves.
