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

You can't sleep?

Are we still leaving?

Don't worry.

I'll write His Majesty a letter to let him know what we found out.

He will handle this matter.

But I'm still a bit worried.

We have to adapt to ordinary people's lives.

What is an ordinary person?

An ordinary person is someone who has someone else

to hold the sky even if it crashes down.

Sleep now.

We have to start packing tomorrow.

Your Highness, Imperial Physician Li is here.

Subject Li Si Nian greets Your Highness.

I'm here to read your pulse today.

You are all dismissed.

Yes.

Imperial Physician Li.

Present.

Read my pulse.

Yes.

Your Highness, please hold out your arm.

Your Highness.

Your pulse reading...

How should I write your prescription?

Could you read my pulse like this?

Could you read it better if I place my arm here?

Imperial Physician Li, can I hold on to this child?

Difficult...

It's difficult?

Has Imperial Physician heard that

when there is a will...

There is a way?

Your Highness.

You have been in the bath for four hours.

Why don't I come in?

No! No one is allowed to come in during my bath.

Do you have any brains?

The water has gone cold by now.

Would you like me to...

Get lost!

Get lost now! Get lost!

Get lost!

Get lost!

Look at your face.

It's so beautiful.

Yet you're treating yourself so badly.

Is that worth it?

His Majesty? A slave?

What difference do they make?

Without love, it is all just a trade for lust.

Is it worthwhile?

One day, I will hold supreme power.

Those men who humiliated me...

They will all die tragically.

Do you think it's worthwhile?

Be careful.

Over here, please.

Your Highness.

This wall has now been repaired and fully constructed.

We built it five inches higher and seven inches thicker.

It is the most secure wall in the world.

It's so well repaired.

How wonderful.

This new wall is indeed majestic.

Princess.

This wall must be high and mighty.

Only then will our people feel safe behind it.

Very good.

Here, I'll show you up there.

Sure.

We can all feel at ease.

Exactly.

It will be of great help to us in fending off invaders.

Princess.

Here.

Have a look.

This truly is remarkable.

Exactly.

- Her Highness has such good insight. - Exactly.

Her Highness is overjoyed.

Since Prince Consort took office

the walls of Bai Lan State have indeed become stronger by day.

Prince Consort has worked hard.

Your Highness, how is that hard work?

Here, come and have a look.

Your Highness, please look.

These are all zealous young men of Bai Lan State.

They have been training day and night for Your Highness.

Please take a good look at them today.

Attack!

The training Prince Consort has given our army is now paying off.

I've invited the officials here to witness the morale of our army.

Congratulations, Your Highness!

Your Highness, look.

I've added more troops. Weibei Troop, Weimo Troop

Yunchang Troop, and Yunlan Troop were added to Cloud Army.

Then there's also Yongtai Troop.

Our military troops have expanded fivefold.

Everyone is a strong elite soldier.

Please examine.

Thank you, Prince Consort!

Yes!

He mustn't get too carried away by his achievements.

Prince Consort is awe-inspiring!

Prince Consort!

Prime Minister Gui, you've been observing for quite some time.

What do you think about it?

Your Highness.

Those 70,000 soldiers might look highly imposing with their amazing formation

but there are many refugees from Great Jin among them.

Our 300,000 soldiers are but a false front.

Your Highness, you mustn't take this too seriously.

Your Majesty.

What is it now?

Speak.

Due to the silkworm issue, there are changes in many areas of Great Jin.

Your Majesty will have to review the reports.

Your Majesty.

There is no leader in the army.

The generals seem only to pretend to get along.

I wonder if Your Majesty...

I suddenly miss Prince of Zhenbei dearly.

Your Majesty is right.

The retired Prince of Zhenbei.

Grand Marshal Xie.

After such a long period of recuperation

do you think it's possible to have him return to the imperial court

to govern the state again?

Your Majesty is wise.

Prince of Zhenbei is very loyal.

In this current difficult situation, Prince of Zhenbei must leave retirement.

I'm willing to visit him in person.

That will be good.

Go ahead then.

I've acted very foolishly in the past.

For instance?

I've had some silly ideas about Your Highness.

How silly?

It's so silly that I've hoped Your Highness would never

forget your aspirations no matter what happens.

Your Highness.

Will I still always be your most beloved Bai Ping Ting

despite anything I might do in the future?

However many times you ask me

I'll never grow tired of telling you this.

Yes.

Despite what you might do

you'll always be my most beloved Ping Ting.

I swear.

Your Highness.

No matter what I do, will I still be your most beloved Bai Ping Ting?

You're still asking me that?

You said so yourself.

However many times I ask you.

Yes.

No matter what, you will always be my most beloved Ping Ting.

What is it?

I'm all right.

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

Here, have some water.

Why is it so serious?

I'll go and get Zui Ju.

We'll ask her over tomorrow.

It's too late now.

If she treats me, I might not sleep well tonight.

All right, tomorrow then.

We should get some rest soon.

Yes.

Come here.

She stood by the window just for a while last night

and she's been coughing all night. Why is it acting up again?

Your Highness, that stab you gave Sister Bai punctured her lungs.

The air in winter is very cold.

It's hard for her to recuperate fully.

She's refused to take medication this time.

You will have to talk her around.

Again?

All right, I'll talk to her.

Will that do?

It's fine. She's too frail. The medication can't be too strong.

I understand. Don't worry.

Moreover...

What is it?

Brother Bei Jie, my mentor said that I was learning very well.

Sister Bai is my patient.

If you keep nagging me, I'll feel quite defeated!

Here.

Sister Bai.

You must get well soon.

If you don't, Brother Bei Jie will also have to take medication.

You're so mushy!

Quit fooling around.

Read Ping Ting's pulse properly.

All right.

Sister Bai, let me read your pulse.

Your Highness.

- What is it? - It's nothing important.

Grand Marshal Xie suddenly visited.

I've shown him to the study to wait for you.
