Jun Qiluo,
how dare you mobilize
the Surveillance without my permission
and repeatedly involve outsiders
in meddling with Yannan politics?
The Jun family needs to be punished.
Guards, take her away.
- Yes.
- Your Majesty.
I
Move.
Your Majesty.
Qiluo is my wife.
You can't do this to her.
What do you mean?
Why do you intervene
in Yannan's affairs?
I gave up the Wolf Lord position
for Qiluo
because I wanted
to maintain peace for her.
If you insist on harming her today,
I am certain
Yannan will never know peace again.
What? Are you threatening me?
Are you willing to disregard
the fragile relationship
between Yannan and Beixuan
for a woman?
It's not like that.
Qiluo not only helped Yannan
develop its economy
but worked tirelessly in Beixuan
to promote peace.
And now you want to punish her.
From now on,
will there still be any people in Yannan
loyal to you wholeheartedly?
Though you're no longer the Wolf Lord,
you are still a noble of Beixuan.
I want you to guarantee
that whatever happens in the future,
the peace between us must be a priority.
As for how to maintain it,
you'll have to prove it with your life.
Let Jun Qiluo go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What did you just promise the King?
I said you're my wife,
and I'd fight anyone
who dares to harm you,
even the King of Yannan.
He let you go,
so I'm considering letting him go.
Young Master,
the Princess started packing yesterday.
She said she wanted to return.
Lie.
Lie.
Qingkou.
Where's Qingming?
Didn't he come back with you?
Lie.
I've made up my mind.
I want Qingming to return
to Beixuan with me.
When we get back,
I'll have my brother buy us a big house.
Then I'll let everyone know
Qingming is my husband.
Princess,
Shao Qimin is already
Shao Qimin went to the Uncontrollable.
He asked you to wait for him in Beixuan.
Why don't you go back
and tidy up the house for him?
That way, when he returns,
he can be at ease.
Alright then.
I'll return and wait for him.
But I don't know what he likes
and how I should decorate our home.
Princess,
I can tell you.
Really?
Tell me. What does he like?
Young Master,
let me take the Princess back.
Sure.
This place might remind her of him.
When you return to Beixuan,
tell the King and Queen Mother
what happened
and ask them to protect Qingkou.
Young Master, rest assured.
I'll protect the Princess too.
(Spirit Tablet of Shao Qimin,
Jun Chengliu's Adopted Son)
Qimin had followed you for years.
I'd long treated him like my own child.
Though he was a spy of the King,
he had never harmed us.
(Spirit Tablet of Shao Qimin)
And he had never known any happiness.
(Spirit Tablet of Shao Qimin)
I hope in his next life,
he can find a good family.
I just hope in his next life,
he can live for himself
without suffering.
(Spirit Tablet of Shao Qimin,
Jun Chengliu's Adopted Son)
(Jun Mansion)
- What's wrong?
- Young Master.
News from the scout you sent to Xixiang.
It says Luo Zhizhou has left Xixiang.
It seems he's secretly
recruiting soldiers.
Any news from the Palace?
Not long ago, I heard
Consort Li passed away.
He must've known
about Consort Li's death.
The King must be in danger.
What should we do now?
The King has no good generals at hand.
Zhaomin has gone
to suppress the bandits.
I'm afraid
Go back.
The physician said you need to rest.
Xuan Lie.
Go back.
I know even if you're no longer
the Wolf Lord,
you can never forget
your responsibilities,
just like the weight of Yannan
and my family to me.
Back then,
it was I who let Zhizhou go.
Now that the King is in trouble,
no matter what,
I must go back to face it.
But Qiluo
I understand you.
I understand your reluctance
and your dilemma.
You go take care of your issues.
Though I can't go with you,
and you can't stay here forever,
we still have a long time ahead of us.
The short separation now
is only for a better reunion later.
Qiluo, rest assured.
I'll be responsible
for you and the child.
(Serenity Amidst Nature)
Are you here to see me off?
Don't flatter yourself.
I'm here to see Lie off.
Are you still blaming me?
Who's blaming you?
You're not someone close to me.
You know my feelings best.
How could you say that?
It hurts my feelings.
And your sudden departure
won't hurt my feelings?
(Jun Mansion)
So, you're blaming me.
I'd tell you if I could,
but it happened too fast,
so I didn't have the time.
I've followed the young master
for years.
I must see things through to the end.
When I return,
I'll marry you in a grand procession.
Who wants to marry you?
I want to marry someone
who can stay in Yannan
and take care of my family
as a live-in husband.
I've made up my mind.
I can meet your third condition.
When I triumph,
I'll bring my dowry
and marry into your family.
Don't worry.
Once I make a promise,
I'll never break it.
When I return, we'll marry.
Then I'll write you many novels.
I wanted to embroider a pouch for you,
but last night, I heard
from Qiluo that you're leaving,
so I changed it
into an amulet overnight.
The light was dim,
and I bled a lot.
If you dare come back missing limbs,
I will never forgive you.
Do you hear me?
Don't worry.
With this on me,
I'll return safely.
It's getting late.
You should leave now.
Remember to write
to tell us you're safe.
Mr. Jun, please stay.
You should stay here.
You have great ambitions.
How could I stop you?
But Xuan Lie,
Qiluo is now your wife.
You're my son-in-law.
You must always remember
to take care of yourself.
When everything is over,
I'll come back and marry Qiluo.
(Jun Mansion)
Take care of yourself.
Wait for me.
(Jun Mansion)
Why the sigh, Qiluo?
Lie isn't leaving forever.
Once he returns,
the King of Beixuan
won't let him go easily.
No one knows when we'll meet again.
Then why did you let him leave?
Because we have responsibilities,
and neither of us
can easily abandon them.
Compared to the greater good,
romance is insignificant.
Qiluo, don't worry.
If Lie doesn't return,
I'll help you raise this child.
Just now, you and Luo Qi
I suddenly remembered
that Xiukun's Yunchang Workshop
is receiving
a batch of new goods today.
Xiukun.
Qiluo.
I need to go with her to oversee it.
We'll leave now.
These officials
speak so sweetly on usual days,
but when I need them,
they say either that they're unwell
or that they have families to care for.
Everyone is backing out.
Your Majesty, please don't be angry.
For the trading post,
officials need to be stationed
in three states long-term.
They'll be leaving their families
for decades,
so it's understandable
they need time to think.
You actually understand them.
Your Majesty, you jest.
I'm just worried you'll get upset
over these trivialities
and harm your health.
Report.
Your Majesty,
Jun Qiluo is waiting outside.
Let her in.
(Blessed Forever)
Jun Qiluo may come in.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Rise.
I've prepared the 150,000 bolts of silk
that I promised you.
It has been handed over
to the envoy heading to Beixuan
for inspection.
Good.
Your Majesty,
I just overheard you discussing
the stationing at the Uncontrollable.
I'm willing to go on behalf of Yannan
to relieve you of this concern.
I've been in business for over a decade,
and I'm familiar with the area
due to the robbing accident.
No one is more suitable than me.
You still want to leave Yannan.
Your Majesty, rest assured.
The Jun family is loyal to Yannan.
Yannan will always be my motherland,
and I'll only serve Yannan.
Here are the designs and samples
of the new weapon.
Heaven and earth can bear witness
to my devotion to Yannan.
The reason why I want to go
is not only to ease your worries.
I've been in business for many years,
and the trading post is a business area.
That's something I'm most skilled at.
Your Majesty,
Miss Jun's words make sense.
In terms of business and trade,
there is no one in Yannan
more suitable than Miss Jun.
These past few days,
I have seen how important
your family is to you.
Once Beixuan has cleared the bandits
in the Uncontrollable,
you can go on behalf of Yannan.
Remember your promise.
If fulfilled,
your family will always have peace.
But if you harbor ill intentions
You can punish them as you see fit.
Good.
(Leather City)
Put down your weapons,
and join the Danyang Army.
Then you will be spared.
Stop talking nonsense.
Everyone, attack!
Princess Zhaomin is risking her life
to eliminate bandits as a woman,
yet none of the civil
and military officials
are willing to be stationed
at the trading post.
What do you think
of this matter?
I can't comment on state affairs.
I've asked you to comment.
Yes.
From what I see,
the Uncontrollable is closest
to Liangzhou.
Why not let Princess Zhaomin
take care of the trading post
after the bandits are cleared?
She's just a woman.
Managing a clan is not easy.
Clearing the bandits is hard enough.
If she has to be stationed
at the trading post,
she may not be able to bear it.
Yes.
I was thoughtless.
What's that sound outside?
Your Majesty,
the traitor Luo Zhizhou
led Death Warriors to storm the Palace.
What?
Your Majesty.
Luo Zhizhou is not dead?
How is that possible?
I don't know either.
Your Majesty, Deputy He Jiyao
is leading the Forbidden Troops
to fight Qingtang Death Warriors.
Your Majesty,
the Wolf Lord is not in the city.
How about I escort you out
through the West Gate first?
How absurd.
He's clearly aimed at me.
How could I escape a battle?
If I truly run,
what will happen to the Queen Mother,
the Princess, and the people?
He's seeking death.
I'll grant his wish.
Your Majesty
(Xuanwu Palace)
Luo Zhizhou,
you deceived your King
and escaped from prison.
And now you're even attacking the city.
How dare you!
Today, I will seek justice for Fanyin.
Protect the King!
Attack!
Your Majesty, you can't go.
Get out of the way!
Let go!
- Save the King!
- Your Majesty, go!
(Central Town)
You have to go now!
- Let go of me!
- Your Majesty, go!
Xuan Xu!
Xuan Xu!
You made me do this.
I had decided never to return to Beixuan
so she could live,
but why wouldn't you let Fanyin go?
Shut up!
I only want to help her
escape this cage.
What's wrong with that?
It's you and the Queen Mother's fault!
You arrogant Beixuan nobles
always look down on foreigners!
How dare you!
(Xuanwu Palace)
Zhizhou!
(Xuanwu Palace)
Lie,
kill him for me.
Kill him!
Lie,
why are you back to protect him?
We helped him ascend the throne,
and you helped him get
the Five Clans' military powers.
You've done so much for him,
but how has he treated you in return?
Shut your mouth!
I am the King of Beixuan.
How can I be lost in personal feelings?
You are so heartless and ungrateful.
Today, I will surely kill you.
Zhizhou!
Don't come any closer!
Lie
Lie
Luo Zhizhou!
Zhizhou
Zhizhou
Zhizhou
Why?
Why did you come back?
Why?
I owe you my life.
At last, I've repaid it to you.
I'm glad you can kill me.
I have no regrets in this life.
I hope in the next life,
we'll be brothers again.
(Xuanwu Palace)
Zhizhou!
Zhizhou!
Zhizhou!
Zhizhou!
Zhizhou.
Zhizhou.

I truly thought
you'd stay in Yannan forever.
You were in trouble.
I must return.
What?
Are you still angry with me?
You've been hiding the news
that Luo Zhizhou is not dead from me.
Shouldn't you offer to be punished?
You can punish me
as you see fit.
You know I won't punish you.
Let alone you protected me today.
And not long ago, you ordered He Jiyao
to bring the Princess back safely.
Tell me.
What reward do you want?
I'll award you handsomely.
Protecting Qingkou is my duty
as her brother.
This trip to Yannan
was the best decision I've ever made,
or I would've regretted it
for the rest of my life.
But I didn't expect
that not only did Jun Qiluo survive,
but she's also carrying your child.
Forget it.
Now, we've unified the Five Clans
and completed
the peace talks with Yannan.
The example of Luo Zhizhou
is in front of us.
I will no longer pursue
your personal feelings.
However, if you continue
to resist the Wolf Lord position,
I won't spare you
and your Xuan Clan.
What?
Are you really going
to abandon everything
and go to Yannan?
Have you forgotten your promise
to General Xuan Shu?
Now, you bear
the responsibility
of the entire Beixuan.
Are you really going
to escape your promise for a woman?
Can your conscience
be at peace with that?
Fine.
I won't force you.
You can be with Jun Qiluo.
But now,
I have no capable generals left.
Even Zhaomin, a woman,
has been sent to eliminate bandits
in the Uncontrollable.
Therefore, you must be
the Wolf Lord.
Thank you, Xu.
I will not fail in my mission.
Earlier, when you wanted to reward me,
I refused.
But I do have one request.
The post has to be established
due to the peace talks now.
I know you've been looking
for someone to go to the Uncontrollable.
It started because of me,
so why not let me take care of it?
I will not fail in my duty.
Fine. I will agree to this.
But no matter where you are,
you must always remember
you are the Wolf Lord of Beixuan
and the leader of the Xuan Clan.
I will.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
(One year later;
The Uncontrollable Trading Post)
Miss, come and have a look.
Anything you like?
Feel free to choose whatever you want.
Not long ago, Zhaomin sent a letter,
saying everything in Liangzhou was fine.
The Silver Embroidery made
the people of Liangzhou wealthy.
She's also planning to open a branch.
The Uncontrollable is now so orderly
thanks to her
eliminating the bandits back then.
Zhaomin is more and more like a general.
I believe Mr. Sun's spirit
in the heavens
must be relieved.
By the way,
where are Luo Qi and He Jiyao?
Why didn't they come?
Jiangjuan!
Jiangjuan!
Jiangjuan!
Look here.
It's recorded in detail.
You must learn from this.
You have to do exactly the same.
I see.
- Jiangjuan, I'm back!
- Remember it.
I thought after you returned to Beixuan,
the King of Beixuan
wouldn't let you go back to me.
I will never
break my promise to you.
♪We come from a time of chaos♪
♪Our hearts have faded like dust♪
Qiluo,
I miss you.
How did you know
I'm in the Uncontrollable?
You are my wife,
so I naturally know your thoughts.
I'd like to discuss something with you.
What is it?
We have Xuan Chu and Jun Shuo now,
but only one can inherit your mantle.
So I think
at least one child
should be educated
in the Jun family in Yannan.
♪Everything would be clear to us♪
I don't agree.
A family should not be separated.
You misunderstand.
I don't want them to be separated.
I just want them to find their own place
and learn mutual understanding.
Even if they grow up
with different habits and views,
they are still bonded by blood.
They'll be more motivated than anyone
to maintain peace.
With our determination,
the Kings will be at ease.
Qiluo,
though we each have
our own responsibilities,
isn't it too cruel
to decide their future so soon?
We both have special identities.
They'll face it anyway.
I just think
that one day we'll grow old.
Whether it's guarding the trading post
or maintaining peace,
someone must carry on
for Yannan and Beixuan.
Our children
will be the best choice.
I believe when they grow up,
they'll understand our intentions.
♪Filling my once-empty heart♪
Fine.
I agree.
Now,
should we do something else?
Qiluo,
do you miss me?
