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

What are you laughing at?

Even if Madam Yuan's room is a bit lavishly furnished

should Your Majesty be so happy about it?

I'm laughing because we were all racking our brains a while ago

just to sneak into this room to get a stamp.

We even had to trouble the empress to play the zither.

Yet now, we've actually moved right into this room.

The change in dynasties and personnel is very cruel.

I wonder who will be living in our palace in the future.

As long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter where I live.

Smooth-talker.

When I saw that you were wearing that hairpin

I knew that you weren't mad at me anymore.

I was wrong about Yuan Shao.

What did you say?

I was wrong about Yuan Shao.

Can you write that down?

Why?

I've said that I was wrong about 1,000 times

but this is the first time you've said it.

So I want you to write it down as evidence.

You've learned to sweet-talk just like Sima Yi.

You chose me.

You'll have to make do with my strengths and weaknesses.

I've missed you quite a lot lately.

Your Majesty was occupied with manipulating the battle to save lives.

How could you have the time to think about me?

What's concealed in one's heart can't be forgotten.

My father is heading back to the capital.

Come with me, Mentor.

I'll seek revenge for you.

Aren't you afraid that they will find out about our relationship?

What is there to be afraid of?

I used to be timid and cautious so as to be acknowledged by my father.

But I've realized that I was wrong.

However hard I try, I can never worm my way into his heart.

I have to attain my own achievements in order to redeem my sins.

Only by turning sins into power can I wipe out my sins for good.

Very good!

Master my swordsmanship first if you want to kill me!

Cao Cao's ceremonial parade is far more extravagant and lavish

than Your Majesty's.

How is he any less ambitious than Yuan Shao?

I didn't help him because of that.

You now know what the emperor is like?

You seem to have always known that.

Don't you forget that I knew him way before you did.

What did you mean when you said that the history was a lie?

It doesn't mean anything now.

Some secrets are best buried along with the times and some people.

The future is waiting to be written by you.

Pull over.

Pull over!

I want to fight on the battlefield.

Render merits.

Once I've rendered merits and attained an official post

no one will pick on my family again!

I couldn't save him.

I just wanted to save them.

Why didn't it work that way?

The nation is fragmented.

Our lands are split up.

The remains of my people in the Central Plain lie unburied.

Cui Yan was right.

I still haven't managed to accomplish anything at all.

You've already done so much.

The world is massive.

It's also so chaotic.

How can we possible change any of this in one night?

This isn't your fault.

Can you still tell if they are soldiers of Yuan Shao or Cao Cao?

Are they our friends or foes?

The imperial family of Han declined.

Yet we've made our people suffer in war and lose their homes.

This is my fault.

Take this blade with you to serve Minister Cao's army.

Minister Cao?

Who exactly is he?

He will be the victor of this battle.

Really?

Therefore, we must persevere.

Until the day the world is peaceful.

We must persevere until then.

Their remains are exposed out here in the wild.

The people are really pitiful.

That's why I won't give up on restoring peace to this world.

Never.

Set out!

Your Majesty, congratulations on your victorious return.

Long live the emperor!

While I was away, did His Majesty stay here?

Yes.

I offered everything we had to His Majesty and the empress.

Very good.

What do you think of His Majesty?

Are you referring to his personality?

I don't think that he's as cold and sullen as you once told me.

He's very amiable.

He even saved Pi.

That did surprise me.

His Majesty changed so drastically that it caught me off guard as well.

Minister Cao, Lord Man seeks audience.

I'll take my leave then.

All right. After I'm done handling these matters

I'll visit you and Jie.

Summon Lord Man.

Yes.

Greetings, Minister Cao.

These are the scrolls of records on Dong Cheng's revolt

and Sima Yi's doings in the capital that you asked for.

"We went to the hills of the east and long were we there without returning."

Who would have known that

the changes in the capital over the past two years were that drastic?

Zhong Da!

Lang!

You're finally home!

It's been months since you left.

Father misses you every day.

- Yi! - Yi!

- Did you miss me? - Yes!

Who is she?

Please wait a moment.

What is it?

What is she doing here again?

Lang, not only is she here again, but she's here to stay.

She's here to stay?

No, she's a princess--

Lang.

She's not a princess consort anymore.

Her name is Tang Ying.

She's my wife.

This--

Listen up!

From now on, she's your second sister-in-law.

Wow! Yi has a wife!

The bride will have to show us her face!

- We won't let you in otherwise! - Exactly!

Just one glimpse! Just one!

Wow! She's so beautiful!

Scoundrel!

Do you know who she is?

How dare you bring her home?

I've spoiled you rotten!

Father, she's my beloved.

I won't marry anyone else but her.

You...

You're even going against the gods now?

Father!

I've already taken care of her identity.

There's no Princess Consort Tang anymore!

Cao Cao won't come to pester you.

You've taken care of it?

She's a princess consort and a former empress!

She's someone that even I have to kowtow to!

How can you take care of her?

What will happen if anyone finds out that you've abducted a princess consort?

If Cao Cao uses this to threaten you, what will you do then?

Are you trying to get our entire clan annihilated?

Father, she and I are both willing in this marriage.

This isn't an abduction.

How dare you still--

Subject Sima Fang greets Princess Consort.

My father doesn't understand.

I'll explain it to him.

Duke Sima, what he just said is true.

He and I are both willing to marry each other.

I wanted to come back here with him.

Get up.

This...

During the rebellion in Luoyang

I once saw Duke Sima in the imperial court.

After you narrowly escaped from the clutches of Dong Zhuo

you insisted on resigning and returning to your hometown.

I understand that you did so to protect your family.

Just like Duke Sima

after having pulled through a near-death experience

I also just want to have some peaceful days.

Whatever identities I used to have

I've returned them to the imperial family.

In order to take me away

both His Majesty and Zhong Da have made great efforts.

I appreciate their kind efforts and I'd like to ask for your blessing.

One day, should there be any danger

I'd like to overcome it with Zhong Da and protect the Sima family together.

Father.

Guo Jia has agreed to let me take Ying away from the palace.

Tang Ying is no longer Princess Consort Tang.

Besides, the only ones in Wen County

who know about her identity are you and Lang.

As long as neither of you tell anyone

no one will know that she was a princess consort.

Therefore...

Father, please give us your blessing.

Please get up.

Miss... Miss Tang.

Please get up.

Please get up.

Get up quickly.

Father.

Get up. Come here.
