Story of Yanxi Palace

Episode 10

Then there's only one possibility:

FuHeng raped my sister

YingLuo

Don't make unfounded claims

I asked him today, face-to-face, if he knows AMan

He said "No", but with a frightened face

But you don't have solid evidence, do you?

I dare to say,

that he knows my sister

Doesn't his denial reveal some clues?

What clue can it reveal?

YingLuo

You are a brilliant girl

How could you lose your mind so easily when it comes to your sister's affairs?

Think of this

Maybe FuHeng accidentally found that jade pendant

And didn't found the owner

Failed to return it

Or maybe

FuHeng knows your sister indeed

But has nothing to do with her death

If he had nothing to hide

He could have called a spade a spade

But he hesitated

He's scared!

YingLuo

Could you not be so stubborn?

mother

You told that my sister lost her virginity

But determined not to tell the name of the man

In this royal palace

He could only be the emperor or the royal guards

If he's the emperor

It would be sister's honour, instead of shame. Then everyone would have known.

But this didn't happen -- the man must be a royal guard

she may seem weak

but she is very strong

being framed like this, she wouldnt stay back and do nothing

she didnt say

it doesnt mean she didnt want to say

it means she wouldnt dare to say

shes afraid of bring our family down with her

our dad and me

who would make her so terrified?

Only someone like Fuheng, with so high status and power,

Hes the 'prince' of the Fucha family, the brother of the empress.

he belongs to the royal family, a future minister.

so he had to keep it a secret.

thats why she was killed.

okay

but all of this is just your own reasoning.

at least there is some evidence

ok

even if all of this is real

tell me

what you gonna do

murder must be killed. loan must be paid. reasonable. (an old chinese saying)

Ying Luo

you know who he is.

being reckless is like turning yourself in.

your sister has raised you up with so much effort

all for you to sacrifice yourself like this?

calm down

think about it more

is that yingluo?

come on in

help me to make some ink

Yes

This is the list of things to sell from the storage/inventory

Why do you have to sell stuff in the storage/inventory?

The inventory

is filled with stuff that has been used for a long time already

I told them to take it all and sell it to Chong Wen Qu (a place)

all of the money made

I plan to donate it to raise orphans

Your majesty

Aren't donations and taking care of the poor supposed to be taken care of by the national treasury?

The nation is so big

Over here, there's a drought and over there is a flood

Where can you get all of the money to help?

the Empress proposed to establish a separate fund

since the Imperial Household department that splits the money

but they constantly refused

saying that there's a limit for the budget

unable to make ends meet

that's why the Empress ordered to sell things from the inventory

and decreasing the expenditure of the palaces

controlling the budget was of good intentions

instead the empress received backlash

saying she wanted to buy a good reputation, wishing for luck

with all the money coming into our Chan-Chun palace

Donating to the poor is a good thing

Why won't your majesty tell anyone about it?

You're causing yourself to have a bad reputation

Kindness that you want to show off to others is not real kindness

Someone in a high position of power

should help the poor and put in all of their efforts and everything to help

that is supposed to be normal

wanting everyone to know when you just did something nice

and running around to tell everyone else about it

is not

real kindness

kindness you want to show off to others,

is not real kindness

Your highness

I don't read a lot of books

but I think this saying is very logical and true

I will make the ink for you

sycophantic (swarmy)

Ming yu

I ordered you to visit concubine Yu

Did you hand that task over to someone else?

I don't dare to

I just came back from there

Concubine Yu is still the same

crying all day

often waking up in the middle of the night

her entire body weak and pale

to the point where you can't recognise her

Did the emperor not ask or visit?

the emperor has many duties

how can he have time to take care of concubine yu?

Something invaluable is easy to find

He is truly hard to find

Sadly

Concubine yu is not concubine Dong Er

who knows where to find

someone like emperor Shun Zhi

your highness

the emperor treats you well

why would you say such words?

I must have gone clumsy

I don't even know what I'm saying anymore

The words you have said are not wrong

In the past when concubine Dong Er died

Emperor Shun Zhi fell sick because of her

and even voluntarily cut off his hair to become a monk

sadly someone as faithful and romantic like that

No longer exists

Emperor Shun Zhi's love for concubine Dong Er is admirable

but looking at it from a different perspective

is completely different

what do you even know

let her speak

I want to hear

I don't dare to say

say it

I won't punish you

Greetings your majesty

If the empress knew you came, she would be very happy

I will go tell her right away

No need

I'll find the empress to talk to

all of you can go

yes

Concubine Dong Er fell fatally sick and died

making Emperor Shun Zhi incredibly sad and love sick that he didn't turn up to court for 5 days

he burnt down 2 palaces and jewellery

and even ordered the death of 30 maids

For concubine Dong Er

to have such a lovesick husband, she is very lucky

but for those 30 maids

they also have families

they were also living human beings

anyhow, because of Concubine Dong Er's death

Emperor Shun Zhi neglected thousands of civilians, ministers and officers

he was a heartless emperor nonsense

Who allowed you to criticise Emperor Shun Zhi

Definitely punishable by death

Who's there!

I beg your majesty to not be angry

It was I who told her to say it honestly

I can't take back on my word

On behalf of Ying Luo I beg for your pardon

Please forgive her

Ying Luo

Quickly beg for forgiveness

Your servant knows her faults

Haven't you not finished what you were saying?

Now

Continue speaking

I want to her what other offensive and treacherous words you have to say

Speak

Ying Luo

Speak!

Your majesty

Emperor Shun Zhi had left a paper

mentioning his extreme love for concubine Dong E

and regretted that this love caused other people to be hurt

I just repeated the words of Emperor Shun Zhi But you accused him of

letting putting the servants to death, did I mis-hear?

Your majesty is of course right

but

Emperor Kangxi had already abolished killing the servants after their own passes away

and no one else was killed alive after their owner died

so you just repeated the words of Emperor Shun Zhi

It was bad at conveying things

which caused the misunderstanding

okay,

then let me ask you. You also said

"The commoners would rather the Emperor not love anyone"

What does that mean?

I heard that the emperor wakes up very early in the morning

In the summer, he wakes up when the sun rises and

in the winter, he wakes up right before 5 o'clock

When military reports that Xichui needs more soldiers

Even if it is midnight, the Emperor will still discuss the details with all military officials

and these military officials take turns every 5/6 days

but they still feel very tired

But the emperor has always been like this, every day and every year. And the people admire the emperor's persistence

but, the emperor is too busy with politics

and has no time for the harlem

so the concubines will inevitably feel lonely

so it means that in order to be a good emperor, if you

love for the world and the commoners, you will inevitably not able to give much love to the concubines

Emperor,

your servant is dumb

did I say something wrong?

You are right

Such magnificent love comes at the cost of something much smaller

The emperor is a good emperor

please drink tea

Head out now, if you don't want to be punished

Thank you for your kindness, your majesty

wait

This voice and the way she says things,

why does it sound familiar to me

I remembered,

You are the ... Get out quickly and go kneel down

don't stay here and make the emperor mad

Please don't be angry. Yingluo is a smart girl and has been helping me a lot

Please forgive her for me

Empress,

I have seen this person

A month ago, she was the lowest ranked maid

and now she is already serving you in Changchun Palace

and she has gotten your trust, it shows that she must be cunning

and is up to no good

Empress,

how can you keep someone like that close to you?

Yingluo's character,

I should know the best since I am her owner

I am willing to attest to her charaters

Empress,

don't be overtly kind, you don't know what you are getting into

Emperor, I will trust the people I use, and won't use the people I don't trust

I believe her

Yingluo is definitely not someone the emperor thinks she is

It's all thanks to the Empress today that I'm letting you go

If you continue to use sweet words and a sweet voice, trying to act smart (idk how to translate this accurately but basically don't act like a know it all)

I will execute you

Please forgive me your majesty

Turn around

Go and receive 20 hits/ flogs

Your majesty, your majesty, your majesty

I didn't do anything wrong

The person I told you to find is lingering in front of you

But you didn't even know

Have you gone blind?

Her? She's the one that scratched the tree?

30 hits/ flogs

Your majesty, you just said 20 why 30 now?

It's all your fault!

your majesty! your majesty!

stand up

What's wrong? What happened?

I didn't know to keep quiet

And the emperor heard me

from now on you need to learn to control your mouth

You even played around and joked with the emperor around

be careful or you'll bring bad fortune to yourself

Your majesty

You already heard what his emperor said We should kick Ying Luo out before we bring troubles to ourselves

I know his majesty best

Love and he wants them to live

Hate and he wants them to die

If he already dislikes someone

then he becomes extra critical and strict

Ying Luo and mistress concubine Yu have no relations Yet she risked her life to save her

Someone like that is very precious

I refuse to kick her out

Your highness

Alright

I have made up my mind already, no need for more words

Your highness

Your highness

Messages from outside the palace say your brother has fallen sick in prison

Your mother says you have to think of a way to send some money out

money?

Each year I receive 300 wen (copper coins)

Disregarding my living expenses, I've sent over half of it to them already

Your highness

Business and negotiations are not easy

Your father has always been honest

Your family has spent over half of the expenses

Last time when the ministry of justice searched the house

They already took the rest

Now the situation is more complicated

Your father is trying to go around to borrow some money

Sadly he had offended many when he was still in office These people are already doing their best,

by not adding insult to injury

Your mother is running out of other options

which is why she resorted to write a letter to you

Zhen'er

Come with me to the Imperial Household Department

Your highness

What are you going there for?

To ask them to give me my salary early

Let's go

Consort Xian

It's not that I don't want to help you

But there's really no way for me to help you

The empress has said before that an early salary can be taken if necessary

as long as the consort/ concubine is there to receive it in person

Why do you say there's no way?

There something you don't know.

The new minister in charge, Minister Gao ordered for the inventory to be locked

for checking

During the checking time, absolutely no one can open the inventory

Even if the emperor wanted something, he would have to wait

for all the servants and ministers to turn up to open the inventory

Then how long do I have to wait? When will the inspection be done?

This isn't easily estimated

The Imperial Household Department has in its storage

silver, ceramics, furs, fabrics, clothing and tea

total of 6 types

For them to be all counted, it will take at least 2 months

at most half a year

Are you joking with Consort Xian

Who can wait this long

Consort,

I am just following orders

Please understand, Consort

It is okay, Zhen'er

Don't give Eunuch Liu a hard time.

lets go

The Emperial Consort has said, Snowball (the dog) needs the best fur for a new vest

is it ready?

How do I dare make emperial consort wait

I opened up the storage yesterday

and immediately took out the best furs

please look through these options

what a bastard, they can't open up the storage for us

but will do it for Emperial Consort Gao

what kind of person is he? I will go talk to him

don't, Zhen'er, don't make things more complicated

Now days the new head in charge here

is the father of Emperial Consort Gao

of course he will prioritize her needs

Consort, but snow ball is just a dog

In their eyes,

The head of the Chenqian Palace, is less than a dog

Sorry, Consort, Zhen'er deserved death. Zhen'er said the wrong words

Let's go. I'll think of another method

The spring weather is still cold

you are always by the emperor's size

Sometimes, you have to watch for many hours at night

should dress more warmly

so you don't get sick (and die)

Elder sister, don't worry, I will do

You don't know how to take care of yourself

The weather is getting cold day by day

If you keep doing this, I will tell our parents to get you a wife

Elder sister!

Okay

I know you want to make the decision yourself. I am not going to force you

but if there is someone you like,

just let me know

I will ask the emperor to let you marry the person

If you keeping doing this, I won't come next time

I know, bye

Your younger brother is leaving

Young master,

Please wait

Ying Luo

Young master said last time, this is inappropriate

how about this distance now? Is that appropriate?

What did you stop me for?

This, is for you

What is that?

The empress kept saying that she was worried

for you standing out and guarding in the cold

But males aren't allowed to use hand warmers like females

I went to the kichen and

asked for pig's baldder

and put in hot water and stitched it up

it is very warm if you put in front fo your chest

I washed it many times, promise it is not dirty

smell it if you don't believe

No, I am not cold. Young master, you don't want this?

okay, I will go back and tell the empress

and see what she says

kk, I will take it. Don't tell the empress

so

will you use it?

I will. K, then I won't be worried anymore

See you, young master! Thank you

Fucha Fuheng

Even if I can't kill you now

I can still hurt you

what time of the year is it

why is the wind still so cold. It is blowing on my neck

Is it? It is kinda warm

how is it warm?

What do you have hidden there? Nothing

Let me see

Give it back

What is it? So warm! Hailancha, give it back to me

What kinda bro are you, you got nice stuff you don't want to share

This thing, looks like nothing fancy

but the thought is cute

doesn't look to be made by a man

say

which little maid is chasing after you again?

No. Really? No

K, then let me borrow it. Let me be warm too!

Give it back to me

Yingluo

Fucha guard is waiting for you by the well

and wants to ask you something

They're here your highness

Greetings your highness

no need

Take this bag and sell all of the things inside

Following the rules, take 2 parts of the share

It's your highness's possessions, how would I dare

You guys are taking risks and selling it out of the palace

You deserve to take it but I still have things to say

listen carefully

The stuff that comes out of your hands and to the stores, you must never mention of me

You dare to steal things from the palace

Noble Consort, this bastard is the one to blame

he is doing it for money

he is doing it for the profit

I thought he looked to be up to something

so I followed him along to find out

It was my fault for not finding this sooner

Please forgive me, noble consort.

That is not true

Noble consort

This wasn't my idea

Watch your head if you don't shut up now

Consort Xian

It was my fault

I was tempted this time

I stole your stuff to make a sell

If you didn't catch me,

I would have committed a great crime

Zhen 'er

what?

Noble consort, it was my fault

it was me

and him who planned this

My master does not know

She found noticed something off

and followed along to find this out

Please don't misunderstand my consort

Zhen'er

Consort

It was all my fault

I deserve to die a million times

People say that even the heaven is jealous of brilliant people

the 2nd Prince was gifted so he died before reaching adulthood

In comparison, our 4th prince is may not be talented

but he is healthy

There is much blessing awaits for him in the future

That makes sense

I have asked you to be on the look out for the Yonghe Palace. How is it going?

I heard that the Empress wants to take her to the garden tomorrow

The emperial doctors have said that Concubine Yu's on the road to recovery

The empress

is messing with other people's affairs

If

we let Concubine Yu gave birth to a smart little prince

There would be no room for our Yongcheng in the heart of the emperor

You mean ...

A Shuang

I think tomorrow's weather is going to be good

hasn't it been long

since we last invited Noble Consort Gao to visit the garden?
