CHU XIUMING ; " JIN , DON'T BE  SO UPSET.  IT HURTS ME SEEING YOU LIKE THIS ."

SHEN JIN : " BUT WE HAVE NEVER BEEN SEPARATED .  "

CHU XIUMING : " I WILL COME BACK SAFELY. LOOK ,  IT IS A LONG WAY TO THE BORDER.  YOU ARE SO WEAK THAT YOU CAN'T STAND IT. "

SHEN JIN : " BUT I MISS LITTLE ONION , QING QIU  AND THE DELICIOUS FOOD THERE VERY MUCH. I'M PRETTY SAD LATELY , I DON'T KNOW WHY. "

CHU XIUMING : " MAYBE THOSE MOOD SWINGS WERE CAUSED BY PREGNANCY , YOU ARE GOING TO BE A MOTHER AFTER ALL. [HE KISSES HER ON FOREHEAD] "

SHEN JIN : " ACTUALLY I SHOULD BE GLAD YOU ARE OUT. "

CHU XIUMING : " IS IT BECAUSE NO ONE WILL CONTROL YOU? "

SHEN JIN : " BUT I'M SO SAD NOW.  [SHE CRIES] HOMEY ,  DON'T COME BACK  TOO QUICK. HONEY , I WANT TO BITE YOU AGAIN. "

NEXT DAY ,  SHEN JIN WAKES UP AND  FINDS THAT HE IS NOT BESIDE HER. 

SHEN JIN : " HONEY?  HONEY? "

MISTRESS CHEN : " WHAT IS THE MATTER?."

SHEN JIN : " MOTHER.  WHERE IS MY HUSBAND? "

MISTRESS CHEN : " HE WENT TO THE PALACE. "

SHN JIN : " I THOUGHT  HE HAS LEFT  WITHOUT TELLING ME ."

MISTRESS CHEN : " HOW  COULD THAT BE?  SILLY GIRL. GO TO WASH YOUR FACE.  ET'S GO.  "

AT THE IMPERIAL COURT, 

THE EMPEROR : " I HOPE YOU CAN DEFEAT THE ENEMY THIS TIME.  AS YOU GO BACK TO THE BORDER .  "

CHU XIUMING : " YES. "

ANOTHER OFFICIAL : "  YOUR MAJESTY , THE NATIONAL TREASURY IS  DEPLEATED .  WHEN THE BORDER WAS SECURED.  WE HAVE MANAGED TO SEND  THE SUPPLIES TO THERE. NOW WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT.  "

THE EMPEROR : " HOW MUCH DO WE HAVE? "

ANOTHERE OFFICIAL : "  BESIDES THE SUPPLIES FOR THE VICTIMS OF SHUZHONG PROVINCE WE BASICALLY HAVE NOTHING.   "

CHU XIUMING : " DO YOU WANT MY SOLDIERS  TO FIGHT WITH EMPTY STOMACHS? "

OFFICIAL SITU : " THE ENEMIES ARE FISHES IN THE NETS AND WE GOT LIEUTENANT THERE, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD SEND EARL OF YONGNING TO THERE. IF WE DO ,  WE ARE PAYING TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO IT. PEOPLE WILL THINK WE ARE MAKING A FUSS AND WE CAN'T AFFORD THE EXPENSE. "

THE EMPEROR : " EARL OF YONGNING ,  WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?  "

CHU XIUMING :   "    I 'D JUST FOLLOW YOUR ORDER.  "

LATER,  SHEN JIN  SENT OFF CHU XIUMING  .      SHE GIVES HIM A JADE WHICH SHE BOUGHT FOR HIM. 

SHEN JIN: " HONEY , YOU SHOULD COME BACK EARLY. "

SHEN JIN: "[HERSELF] DID THE GENERAL HAVE A TOUGH JOURNEY? "

MISTRESS CHEN : " JIN'ER ? "[THEY BOTH SMILES EACH OTHER]

AT THE CAMP,  THE GENERAL TRAINS THE SOLDIERS.

THE GUARD: " GENERAL.  GENERAL ,  DID YOU COME HERE ALONE? "

CHU XIUMING  ; " WHAT ?  MUST I  LEAD AN ARMY FROM THE CAPITAL TO BEAT THE HAWK? OR DO YOU MEAN OUR ARMY IS NOT STRONG AS BEFORE FOR MY ABSENCE? "
