Watching the person in the mirror's countenance pale and grow haggard,

Examining love together with regret, both new and old.

Keeping watch still by a lantern though it is daybreak, drenched with tears,

Watching others meet as promised, as twilight falls.

Story of Yanxi Palace

Episode 51

7

Do you know what other relief centers did?

8

Either they exploited the locals,

9

those wealthy country houses, or were using grassroots or bark.

10

Then they added on a strong military force to suppress the victims who don't dare to speak up.

11

My father was the most foolish, travelling to each and every depot.

12

But he couldn't make threats or promises,

13

so he reaped very little.

14

So he put up all his own assets.

15

Even the fields Your Majesty granted him,

16

his manor, and all. He sold them all.

17

Even the old family homestead.

18

That family seat passed on generation to generation.

19

When the victims aired their grief, my father wouldn't use military force.

20

He was afraid to harm the victims who had nothing to them.

21

But they almost beat him to death!

22

It as the acts of the victims of the disaster that incited the soldiers,

23

so the deaths that happened later occurred. He is just incompetent.

24

He couldn't bear it, he just couldn't.

25

I know.

26

Your Majesty. I know you are in a difficult position,

27

so I don't dare to ask for forgiveness.

28

But on the account of his devotion, please spare his life.

29

Your Majesty. I have only begged you once in this life.

30

Spare him. Please.

31

Your Majesty. I'm begging you.

32

Alright.

33

I...won't kill him.

34

Rise.

35

- Your Highness.

- Empress.

36

Empress.

37

Prince He of the First Rank! May you hold your step.

38

Empress. Your health is still in recovery.

39

How are you standing in the wind?

40

I know you have with you the royal decree,

41

to go and spare my father.

42

Empress. I, Hongzhou, am useless.

43

I couldn't wash away Lord Naerbu's wrongful accusation.

44

No. You have toiled and traveled to seek investigation.

45

For my father's incident, you have offended many. I have remembered this to my heart.

46

To be able to do something for you is my honor.

47

There's another matter for which I'd like to seek your help.

48

Zhen'er.

49

This is?

50

My father will be exiled to Ningguta which is a bitter cold place.

51

I prepared clothing and medicine for cold weather.

52

His leg is beaten into injury. There will not be a good doctor on the journey

53

and no time to nurse the injury.

54

I just hope these injury medicines can come to use.

55

Empress, be at ease. I will surely bring it to him.

56

Is there anything else you'd like to tell Lord Naerbu?

57

Tell him, his daughter is not filial.

58

That I can't send him off personally.

59

May he take good care.

60

Yes.

61

Your Highness, let's return.

62

Zhen'er. The clothing we prepared for Father,

63

is it thick enough?

64

Your Highness, you prepared leather and fur for winter.

65

Of course they are thick enough.

66

But Ningguta is really so cold.

67

So cold.

68

Open up.

69

Lord Naerbu.

70

Lord. His Majesty spared you from death

71

and changed it to exile. Hurry and thank the grace!

72

Sir.

73

My decree was a step too late.

74

I already sent an order to prepare a good funeral.

75

If you want to arrange it personally, I can agree to it too.

76

Did Your Majesty kill my father?

77

No.

78

Then it was the Empress Dowager's doing.

79

Empress. Your father,

80

he killed himself.

81

My father was loyal. He's foolish.

82

But he's human and cherishes life.

83

In order to live, he laid down his pride to come beg me.

84

Now he was clearly falsely accused.

85

So why would he commit suicide?

86

Empress, he has already left.

87

There's no point in pursuing this.

88

Your Majesty.

89

My father suffered and became

90

the most corrupted official in everyone's eyes.

91

In the prison, he committed suicide.

92

Should his daughter tolerate this without crying and keep quiet?

93

You clearly knew that he wasn't corrupted

94

and used his family to make up for the deficit.

95

In the end, he still needed to pay with his life.

96

He was cautious and a great leader for more than twenty years.

97

In the end, he lost his status and reputation and was cursed by everyone.

98

Where's the justice in heaven and earth?

99

Empress, I know that you are very sad.

100

You can blame and hate me

101

but not the Empress Dowager.

102

Your Majesty, do you think that the Empress Dowager is unselfish?

103

Empress.

104

No matter how sad you are, you shouldn't be rude to the Empress Dowager.

105

The nephew of the Empress Dowager also participated in the corruption.

106

Before my father's case erupted,

107

the Empress Dowager's elder brother and his wife came to the palace to plead for clemency.

108

Once this is investigated, it will implicate the family of the Empress Dowager.

109

Hence, the Empress Dowager, without any hesitation,

110

pushed my father to become the sacrificial lamb!

111

Have you said enough?

112

Your Highness, don't say anymore.

113

Will His Majesty dare to listen to what I dare to say?

114

You have already said it up this point.

115

Would I still not dare to hear it?

116

Your Majesty. The palace officials are mediocre, incompetent, greedy

117

and cunning.

118

It's the same in the beautiful and flourishing harem.

119

Everyone's a singer, chanting out a tune of a world in prosper with justice and clarity,

120

and ganging up to lie to you and trick you.

121

Even if you are diligent and hard-working,

122

you still can't protect your subject who is falsely accused.

123

And you can't even kill vermin with unending greed.

124

Li Yu.

125

The Empress is sick.

126

Tell the Imperial Physician to diagnose and treat her.

127

Yes.

128

His Majesty doesn't dare to listen.

129

Your Highness, I'm begging you. Stop talking!

130

Empress.

131

The world is far from being satisfactory.

132

You are overly-aggrieved today. I can forgive you this time.

133

If you speak and do anything without fear again,

134

I will not spare you.

135

Chief Steward Li, the Empress isn't ill.

136

Nonsense.

137

The Empress contracted hysteria.

138

She's already starting to say crazy things, how is she not ill?

139

But I took her pulse.

140

She's really very lucid.

141

If she were fine, how would she contradict and offend His Majesty?

142

His Majesty feels guilty so he pardoned her.

143

So I should treat it as hysteria?

144

Yes, do that!

145

Your Highness, in order to investigate this case,

146

you haven't slept in days.

147

Now the matter is resolved.

148

You should return and rest up.

149

Resolved? Clearly they were afraid the cover up would be revealed,

150

so he was killed first to silence him.

151

The person is gone.

152

Now the case is hopeless.

153

Prince, please preserve yourself.

154

It's not your business in the first place.

155

Zhen'er. What are you doing here?

156

Oh. Prince He of the First Rank.

157

I was...

158

I was heading to Imperial Household Department to retrieve something.

159

You are always tending closely to the Empress.

160

When did it become your duty to run errands?

161

Prince He, I really am by Empress' order

162

heading to the Imperial Household Department. May Your Highness please make way.

163

Prince. The palace gates will be locked soon.

164

Let's leave now.

165

You wait for me at Gate of Divine Might. I need to do something.

166

- Your Highness?

- Your Highness!

167

Wait! Your Highness!

168

Prince, what are you doing?

169

What happened to the Empress?

170

Tell me! You're going to pretend like nothing's happened?

171

Prince He, Her Highness the Empress has disappeared.

172

I looked all over Chengqian Palace and Imperial Garden,

173

but I found no trace of her.

174

I don't dare to tell others.

175

So I can only search alone.

176

Let's separate and search.

177

We must find the Empress before others discover it.

178

Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.

179

Your Highness Empress!

180

You're here.

181

What are you doing? Come down now.

182

Can't be that you think I might jump off from here?

183

Ah!

184

Empress.

185

Come down now.

186

What are you trying to do?

187

I stayed here all day.

188

I looked at the scenery afar.

189

Suddenly I wanted to understand Fuca Rongyin,

190

how she felt when she stood here then.

191

So I came here personally to experience it.

192

You've really gone mad.

193

Fuca Rongyin and I.

194

We came into the Prince Bao Manor in succession.

195

She was the main wife, the Princess Consort who is gentle and tender.

196

I was the second wife, the side consort who is prudent and cautious.

197

We were similar in many ways, yet different in so many.

198

We were similar,

199

in that we both entrusted our true hearts to our husband.

200

Different, in that she jumped off from here,

201

while I became the Empress who is high and lofty above!

202

The matter was so long ago.

203

Why do you mention it again?

204

You're not Fuca Rongyin.

205

Yes, I am not Fuca Rongyin.

206

Because even if I stand here, I never have thought I will jump.

207

Do you know why?

208

Because I am not content to.

209

I thought I would manage the six palaces

210

and the master of Great Qing.

211

So I would never be trampled by others and never have to be cautious,

212

but I was wrong.

213

The Consort Xian of the past

214

couldn't preserve her mother and younger brother,

215

and unfortunately as Empress now still couldn't preserve my father just the same.

216

Because my power is not enough.

217

So small.

218

No.

219

It's not so.

220

It's because

221

you trust and admire His Majesty.

222

You want to be a good Empress for him.

223

Your Highness.

224

Come on down.

225

Your Highness the Empress.

226

My heart is straight toward my lord,

227

to the top of the clouds brushing away the blue sky.

228

It's time to return.

229

Empress.

230

If there's a need for me after today,

231

may Your Highness please tell me. I want to do something for you.

232

Respectfully greeting Your Majesty.

233

How is the Empress?

234

Her Highness is overcome with grief upon losing her next to kin, hence speaking such offensive words to Your Majesty.

235

Now she is too late to regret them.

236

If she knew Your Majesty came, she'd be so happy. Allow me to announce to her now.

237

There's no need.

238

Take good care of the Empress.

239

Your Highness the Empress. His Majesty didn't pursue your loss of composure.

240

Why are you still so rigid?

241

Don't worry. His Majesty won't blame me.

242

Why not?

243

Because he feels guilty.

244

Your Highness.

245

You think I really went mad?

246

Even if everyone in the world goes mad,

247

I will still be very lucid.

248

My father's death. If you want me to act like nothing happened,

249

then am I still living like a human?

250

Your Highness, you mean..?

251

In the past, as someone who acts according to rule and convention.

252

A rare mishap, and His Majesty would care.

253

As long as His Majesty remembers my grievance.

254

Remembers my frustrated fury.

255

The entire six palaces shall also remember.

256

Empress, His Majesty had Supervisor Li send this.

257

Put it down.

258

- Your Highness.

- Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou lost their harmony once. (T/N 17th and final Ming Emperor, Empress Zhou rebuked Consort Tian for being arrogant, angering the Emperor)

259

Empress Zhou went on a hunger strike and disobeyed.

260

So Chongzhen sent an old leather mattress to her.

261

The two reconciled, as good as before. (T/N In fact, Empress Zhou even begged mercy for Consort Tian, and Consort Tian was returned from exile)

262

Now His Majesty sent these old clothes to me.

263

It's to tell me,

264

he still remembers my unfairness.

265

He still cares about our attachment of many years.

266

Then you want me to go see Prince He?

267

Prince He appears to be licentious and unruly.

268

But in actuality, he is passionate and righteous.

269

If I am to subdue him,

270

I need to put some thought into it.

271

Your Highness. Are you really not sad?

272

The matter's happened. What use is grief?

273

It's better to think of how I should use this...

274

to my greatest benefit.

275

Alright. You may go as well.

276

Greetings to Mother Ling. May you have peace and longevity.

277

Rise.

278

In a blink of eye,

279

the Fifth Prince is already so big.

280

Yongqi.

281

When you were first born, you were golden yellow from head to toe.

282

Everyone thought you were a monster.

283

If it hadn't been Mother Ling who protected you with her life,

284

you might not even be alive today.

285

Thank you, Mother Ling for saving me.

286

When Yongqi is grown up,

287

I will surely be filial to you.

288

Such a young child,

289

and he speaks so seriously!

290

Rise. Rise!

291

Come here.

292

Mother Ling, does it hurt a lot?

293

Yes, it hurts a lot.

294

But I can bear it.

295

When Mother got hurt before, she was clearly in so much pain that her eyes were red.

296

But she told me it didn't hurt.

297

Mother Ling, you are different than Mother.

298

Yongqi. Don't talk nonsense.

299

Fifth Prince. If she clearly got hurt but she forced herself to endure,

300

it's because your mother was worried about you.

301

Your mother regards you as the most precious treasure in the world.

302

In the future, you must be very filial to her.

303

I will be filial to Mother, but can I be filial to you too?

304

My mistress will have her own child to be filial to her in the future.

305

We don't need to trouble you, Fifth Prince.

306

Mingyu, why do you speak so harshly?

307

Last night, I kept hearing strange noises. I was thinking it's strange.

308

The New Year's not here yet, but the yellow weasel is already here! (T/N wandering spirits, ill fortune)

309

Mingyu.

310

That girl Mingyu. It's been so many years,

311

but she's not changed at all. Still has that temper!

312

Who's laughing?

313

What's wrong? Such a big temper.

314

Just a traitor, so why show her good face?

315

Who is a traitor?

316

Tell me. Is Yingluo crazy

317

to forgive Consort Yu?

318

She can't fight with Consort Yu outright though.

319

Don't forget. It was Consort Ling that preserved the Fifth Prince's life.

320

She can't bear to watch such a little child lose his mother.

321

Yingluo's changed. Before, she did whatever she wanted.

322

Now, she's a different person. To be talking leisurely with smile with the enemy.

323

She's grown up.

324

- Mingyu. You too though.

- Me?

325

Before, if it were this kind of situation,

326

you would've shoved Consort Yu and the Fifth Prince out of Yanxi Palace by now.

327

But I am still stubborn and immature.

328

That's not called stubborn and immature. It's called not being good at pretending.

329

Consort Ling has reasons to do things.

330

I am guessing she is getting close to Consort Yu,

331

because she wants to find a way to expose Noble Consort Chun.

332

The more you get close to your enemy, the easier to find. Right?

333

Hurry now and go back, so Consort Ling doesn't worry!

334

I am a month older than you, you know!

335

How do you know?

336

I..!

337

You looked into my age secretly.

338

I don't care about you.

339

Lighter, Your Highness. Even though the support is off,

340

you have to mind your movements very carefully.

341

I will prescribe an ointment for you to take on time for better recovery.

342

That way you can heal completely.

343

How is it? Much better?

344

Thank you, Royal Physician Ye.

345

I take my leave then.

346

Are we still mad at me?

347

Nope.

348

If you're not, then bring my tag

349

and go to the Imperial Household Department personally

350

and get something.

351

Here, to the left.

352

Yes, to the right.

353

Mingyu. Turn.

354

That's not what Teacher Yin said. Reversed. This way.

355

Yes, right.

356

Slower.

357

I don't want to dance. I can't dance!

358

Mingyu.

359

Try again.

360

Yes.

361

His Majesty.

362

Greetings to Your Majesty.

363

Rise.

364

What are you doing now?

365

This Western item. It was getting dust on it at the Imperial Household Department.

366

So I asked Teacher Yin from France,

367

and he showed me a dance.

368

I had the French technician stay in the Forbidden City to work on calendars and firearms.

369

It's not for you to play with them!

370

Do you now how to dance, Your Majesty? I'll teach you.

371

I'm not interested.

372

I am not interested in horseback riding either,

373

but for you, I went to learn it too.

374

Be fair.

375

Your Majesty has to learn too.

376

- You're making a farce.

- Step, left foot.

377

Go. One, two.

378

Left.

379

Raise your head, Your Majesty.

380

Your Majesty. Isn't it pretty fun to dance?

381

That Westerner put his hand on your waist too?

382

Teacher Yin and the junior eunuch showed it to me like this.

383

Your Mistress is something else.

384

His Majesty had a day of foul mood.

385

Now so fast he's cheered up.

386

No.

387

What's wrong?

388

Wait.

389

I heard the Westerners, when they dance,

390

the man holds the woman's waist.

391

Wei Yingluo, you're taunting me again.

392

Did I hurt you?

393

I was trying to cheer Your Majesty up.

394

By teaching me the woman's steps?

395

Then we'll switch. Don't be mad anymore.

396

Don't.

397

Step left foot.

398

This way, right?

399

Your Majesty, so you know how to dance.

400

You knew how to dance. You were tricking me!

401

Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.

402

Your Majesty is upset again?

403

Yingluo. If one person must be killed,

404

what would you do?

405

Kill him.

406

If he was falsely accused?

407

Release him.

408

What if he was falsely accused,

409

but for the big picture,

410

he must be killed?

411

Both kill and release.

412

What is that talk?

413

On the surface, kill him decisively.

414

But in privately, do a switch.

415

Your Majesty can find someone

416

who is on death row with similar appearance,

417

and do the secret switch!

418

That'll do, right?

419

You think think the Ministry of Justice is the vegetable market?

420

You have to ascertain someone's identity before you behead him.

421

Your Majesty is indeed talking about Lord Naerbu.

422

But you do want to kill him then.

423

Nonsense. I never thought so.

424

Your Majesty, even if you granted the Empress your grace

425

to change beheading to exile, but during the exile,

426

would he be safe?

427

There's no one the Emperor cannot spare in the world.

428

Your Majesty really didn't want him to live.

429

Can't be that because I said the truth,

430

that you're going to kill me to silence me?

431

Your Majesty!

432

So you're scared of death too?

433

Was what I said right?

434

You are right.

435

Naerbu didn't take the disaster relief.

436

But his first mistake was not reporting when he knew of it.

437

Second mistake, being muddle-headed and incompetent.

438

Many places in Eastern Zhejiang face similar situations.

439

But they didn't have any revolt or deaths of disaster victims.

440

Sometimes, a muddled and incompetent officer,

441

his jeopardy may not be less than that of a greedy officer.

442

I sentenced him to exile.

443

It was all on the Empress' account,

444

to give him an honorable death.

445

I had no idea the Empress Dowager would be a step ahead of me.

446

Yingluo,

447

do you feel that I am a cruel monarch?

448

I do.

449

So what if I do though? Your Majesty always want to be perfect,

450

but how can anyone be perfect?

451

If you kill the greedy officer, the greedy officers will hate you.

452

If you kill an ordinary subject, the ordinary subjects will resent you.

453

Let them hate and let them resent.

454

The fallen seed never regrets. Never turn around.

455

You pushed yourself again, didn't you?

456

Last night you insisted on dancing.

457

When an officer is ill,

458

he still needs to attend court.

459

When a consort is ill, she still needs to cheer up the Emperor.

460

This is called duty.

461

You're so full of bizarre logic.

462

I'll go find Royal Physician Ye. Don't move.

463

Why is it hurting so much suddenly?

464

That's called "boasting of yourself excessively".

465

Give me your hand.

466

Brother!

467

- How are you here?

- Your Highness Consort Ling.

468

You're a ranking consort now.

469

But to call me "brother" still? I don't dare.

470

No matter what, you're still my brother.

471

Alright, Consort Ling.

472

- You sit.

- Gently.

473

- You deserve to ache to death.

- Lighter, Brother.

474

So comfortable.

475

My anger hasn't dissipated, you know.

476

I have been angry at you the whole last six months.

477

The stuff you sent me has piled up like a mountain,

478

but you never showed up.

479

I was afraid I'd make you more angry.

480

You promised me back then.

481

That we'd shoulder trouble together and enjoy fortune together.

482

I thought it through and now, you're Consort Ling.

483

So I will stay at your Yanxi Palace and be the supervisor.

484

Will you agree?

485

Fine.

486

Consort Ling, don't call me Brother so easily in the palace.

487

Many people and wily mouths here.

488

Just call me by name.

489

Meeting you is truly my misfortune.

490

Meeting you, Brother, it's my lifelong fortune.

491

Your Highness the Empress! Empress, be merciful and save me!

492

I am dying, Empress!

493

Your Highness the Empress, forgive us. This servant is unruly and needs to be taught.

494

Hupo, how dare you collide with Her Highness!

495

Do you want to be whipped?

496

Empress, I used to work at Changchun Palace.

497

It's because I made a mistake,

498

that I was punished by being sent to the Workhouse and endured all sorts of torment.

499

Empress. May Your Highness be merciful and save me!

500

Your Highness the Empress! Save me!

501

She is..?

502

Your Highness, she's Hupo who used to work at Changchun Palace.

503

Hupo?

504

I remember now.

505

How did you fall to this plight?

506

Empress, she was supposed to be assigned to Yanxi Palace.

507

But she offended Consort Ling,

508

and she was sent to the Workhouse to do hard labor.

509

But she can't endure any hardship,

510

but Empress, don't worry, I will teach her properly!

511

Empress. May you be merciful and save me!

512

- Shut up!

- She's the late Empress' old servant,

513

so she should be treated well.

514

Give her lighter chores

515

- and don't whip her anymore.

- Yes.

516

- Let's go.

- Empress.

517

Empress. Empress! Your Highness!

518

- Empress. Empress!

- Stop daydreaming.

519

- Your Highness.

- Not even the Empress can save you.

520

- Empress.

- Shut up!

521

Your Highness.

522

Greetings to Mother Ling. Yongqi heard you can get up now.

523

So I came to bid you wellness especially.

524

Mother Ling, I don't think Sister Mingyu likes me.

525

True.

526

By convention, shouldn't you actually say it's all a misunderstanding?

527

Why should I deceive you?

528

But everyone in the palace does that.

529

Mother Ling doesn't like that.

530

- Sit.

- Yes, Mother Ling.

531

Eat.

532

Clearly you really want to eat it.

533

It's by your hand, so why don't you take it?

534

Mother said to grab it without asking is not proper.

535

Eat.

536

Mother Ling said yes.

537

Is it good?

538

Yongqi. Since you're already coughing,

539

you shouldn't eat sweet things anymore. Got it?

540

[ Yanxi Gate ]

541

The tea is cold.

542

I will go switch it.

543

This.

544

Give them to me.

545

What are you laughing about?

546

I'm laughing that you're a dumb egg!

547

She stole two very obvious chess pieces of yours.

548

But you can't see it?

549

Yingluo! You're too much.

550

Last time you stole two chess pieces from His Majesty.

551

His Majesty was so mad he ignored you for two days.

552

- Now you're repeating this?

- I just love seeing him mad.

553

I love it when he's mad.

554

You're such a strange one.

555

I don't know why either.

556

I just like to bully people who are serious.

557

Supervisor Li.

558

What brings you here?

559

Consort Ling, His Majesty invites you to go to Yonghe Palace.

560

Yonghe Palace?

561

Why would she go to Yonghe Palace now?

562

May Your Highness mobilize immediately.

563

I will accompany you.

564

No.

565

I will accompany Your Highness.

566

Mingyu. You stay and watch Yanxi Palace.

567

Don't be nervous. Nothing will happen.

568

Your Majesty, Her Highness Consort Ling is here.

569

Greetings to Your Majesty.

570

Is the Fifth Prince ill?

571

What are you trying to do!

572

Consort Yu, what was that for?

573

Your Majesty. How big is the Fifth Prince?

574

She actually laid such a poisonous hand on him!

575

How evil is she!

576

Poisonous hand?

577

What does that mean?

578

Consort Ling. Today, did the Fifth Prince go to Yanxi Palace?

579

Yes.

580

Consort Yu told him to come visit me

581

and bring reishi mushrooms and deer antler to me.

582

Did he eat a snack there?

583

- He ate a piece of lotus cake.

- There it is then.

584

Royal Physician Liu.

585

Consort Ling, the Fifth Prince has been coughing lately.

586

I am managing his illness mainly with fritillary bulb.

587

But fritillary bulb has a peculiarity.

588

It cannot be eaten together with the likes of aconite no matter what.

589

Such as wolf's bane, monkshood, devil's helmet and the like. All are shunned.

590

If they are consumed together, what happens?

591

Replying to Empress.

592

If consumed together, it's very likely that due to the medicinal properties clashing, one would be poisoned.

593

Such as paralysis of the entire body, unstoppable pain, or death.

594

I took the Fifth Prince's pulse.

595

I discovered he had signs of poisoned by wolf's bane.

596

Yanxi Palace's lotus cake,

597

does it contain wolf's bane?

598

Only Consort Ling would know.
