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

Get up quickly.

It's cold on the ground.

The health of your child matters more.

Who are you to care about me?

I always thought that we should find a chance to have a good talk.

The winner takes all.

You must be very smug now.

Why bother shedding crocodile tears?

I'm the person who has always wanted you dead.

Now that you've won, if I were you

I would add insult to injury when I have the chance.

That's perhaps what makes us different.

I've never wanted you dead.

I've never thought of adding insult to injury either.

I know that you killed the princes and the queen

to frame me for it.

You also framed Prince of Zhenbei many times to kill him.

By right, you're so ruthless that

one word shouldn't come to my mind when I think of you.

Pitiful.

You...

Noble Consort Zhang.

Your looks are still at the prime of your youth

but your soul has long aged past your declining years

and is riddled with gaping wounds.

Are you not sick and tired?

Who are you to pity me?

What do you think you are?

A maid of a fallen prince's manor.

Do you think that no one would know

of the despicable past between you and your master?

Even if you held my shoes, I would find your hands filthy!

Stop pretending to be so virtuous.

If you want me dead, just kill me to your heart's content!

Noble Consort.

Get lost!

I'm here to convey a message from His Majesty.

Amnesty is bestowed to all

as blessings for the new queen's coronation.

You can also be spared.

What do you mean?

I didn't mention you to His Majesty, and he didn't ask about you either.

Your Highness, you have served by His Majesty's side for so many years.

You should know why His Majesty didn't ask about you.

Weren't you also certain that His Majesty wouldn't kill you?

That was why you came here to ask for forgiveness, wasn't it?

Head back and nourish your child.

The child is innocent.

Stop trying to stir up trouble.

His Majesty told me that he could let bygones be bygones.

But I think that between both of us, those four words aren't enough.

We need four more words.

Never shall we meet.

Farewell.

Does it hurt?

It doesn't.

Zui Ju.

I said that my head hurts, but why did you prick my leg?

Your Majesty.

Treat the head for headache or the foot when the foot hurts.

Those are all tricks of swindlers selling quack medications.

The head is the most important body part.

The blood of all five viscera and the energy in all six bowels

can all be gathered in the head.

What I did is to cleanse the blood of all five viscera

and the poison in all six bowels.

Your Majesty.

Next, you have to take the medication I've prescribed you regularly.

Once Your Majesty gets well, your head won't hurt anymore.

Woman... you're skilled in medical practice

but you also have quite the gift of gab.

Why don't you stay in the palace?

I can appoint you as the youngest Imperial Physician Scholar.

- How about that? - Your Majesty.

Are you trying to put an end to my future?

I don't want to spend all my time with those old men in the academy!

If you do so, how could I ever get married?

No thank you.

Let me ask you then.

Do you have someone on your mind now?

Tell me now and I will bestow marriage to you right away.

Now?

I don't have anyone in mind now.

But I want a husband like Brother Bei Jie who is also a hero.

But he is to be more humorous, more romantic, and more cheerful.

He has to worry less.

He's so perfect, just thinking about it.

Only such a man is a great match for me.

Is it not ideal?

This woman is seriously...

Seriously what?

Seriously ambitious!

Ambitious indeed.

In fact, your Brother Bei Jie might not be that unromantic.

Come here.

I'll tell you a secret.

Really?

Your Majesty.

Prince and Princess Consort of Zhenbei seek audience.

- Summon them in. - Yes.

Your Majesty, I will take my leave.

Miss Zui Ju.

You have to keep the secret that I just told you.

You mustn't tell anyone.

I know.

My lips are the tightest in the world!

No one can get a word out of me.

Good.

- Greetings to Your Majesty. - Ping Ting greets Your Majesty.

Don't stand on ceremony.

Your Majesty, are you feeling better?

I'm much better now that Miss Zui Ju has been looking after me.

My head doesn't hurt anymore.

This woman is such a barrel of laughs.

She's very interesting.

You found me the right doctor.

It's fortunate that Your Majesty doesn't find her annoying.

She's not annoying at all. I enjoy her company.

Both of you have come to visit. Has something happened again?

Your Majesty, it's all well.

It's now a peaceful era.

We are here to bid you farewell.

Bid me farewell?

It is now stable both in the palace and out in the nation.

Your Majesty now has a thoughtful spouse as well.

It's time for us to bid Your Majesty farewell.

We intend to set out on our journey tomorrow.

What are your plans after you leave?

I plan to spend quality time with Ping Ting.

I will go wherever she wishes to go.

I'm content to do so for the rest of my life.

Since you have already decided, I won't hold you back anymore.

I know that since I've given you my word, I can no longer take it back.

Since you're willing to spend your life in the mountains

you will have my blessings.

It's just that...

Wherever you might be, don't forget that you still have a king.

Be sure to visit me often.

This is your home.

I have been raised in Great Jin.

I surely wouldn't forget the gratitude I owe it.

And even more so, Your Majesty.

Good.

Good.

Yan State and Jin State established an alliance and friendship .

Great Jin stood by it with sincerity and kept our promise.

As a strong state, Yan State disregarded

our alliance and the friendship between both kings.

Hong is heartbroken and deeply disappointed.

The five-year peace treaty shall be abolished from today.

100,000 more soldiers shall be stationed at the border of Yan and Jin.

King of Yan, do keep an eye out for yourself.

Should you try to invade us

Great Jin will dismiss all past friendship to strike hard in return.

By the king himself.

Long live the king!

Young Master, I got it.

Young Master, the dust here is thicker.

The fallen leaves and vines weren't tidied up.

It doesn't seem like anyone has visited often.

Let's go in to take a look.

Young Master, the keyhole is all rusted.

The lock hasn't even been unlocked that many times.

If they were to go to war with such weapons

wouldn't our soldiers all be killed?

There are way more secrets to the Gui family that we found out.

We must investigate thoroughly.

Once we have the evidence, Gui Chang Qing can only die.

We welcome Your Highness.

Long live the princess!

My two dear subjects, do rise.

I've kept you waiting.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

It's been a long journey.

I have already cleaned this place thoroughly

to await the arrival of Your Highness.

Your Highness, this way, please.

Your Highness, please.

Princess.

I've already heard about what happened.

We had to open up our passes and trade route all because

of the mistakes that He Xia made.

However, Your Highness had to come all this way for him

to apologize in such a lowly manner.

If it were me, I would never have agreed to any conditions.

Your Highness, don't panic.

Since Your Highness is here, stay in Huarong for a few days with ease.

Relax for a bit.

Please treat this as your own home.

Which land doesn't belong to a ruler?

Huarong might be far away, but it's still within Ban La State.

This certainly is also my home.

Yes, Your Highness is absolutely right.

This is Your Highness's home.

What the young general means is that Huarong is far away

and it's rare that Your Highness visits.

We will surely see to the comfort of Your Highness.

Exactly! We'll see to it!

Your Highness.
