-Story of Yanxi Palace Episode 2-

The newly selected concubines

will soon enter the palace too.

Those of you who are currently "ill", you better cure your illness soon.

For those of you who are not ill, get a grip of yourself.

Don't let the newcomers outshine

each one of you.

Yes.

His majesty asks all the concubines to retire to their palace.

Why?

His majesty is sleeping alone again?

Your highness,

his majesty is busy and must stay up overnight to review memorials

so his majesty asks his consorts and concubines not to wait in vain.

Let's go then.

what else is there to wait for?

we humbly escort your noble consort.

Having completed your proper training in cleaning and sewing,

you are now maids in charge.

From now on,

you are all under my supervision.

We are all new to the palace

and are unfamiliar with the rules here,

please look after us.

No one will be able to look after you in the imperial palace

You're on your own, good luck.

Gugu,

what do you mean by this?

Don't you worry,

you will soon find out in the future.

Yingluo, Yingluo, come here, quick!

I saved you a good spot.

Let's go.

Yingluo, thank you so much for today.

You're welcome.

Are everyone here new maids to the palace?

Yeah, why?

Nothing, I originally wanted to ask

the maids who came to the palace earlier than us

about the different rules in the palace

I think

someone wants to suck up to Gugu.

If you say so.

You--!

Stop talking

Why should I stop?

She acts like she's the only capable one here, better than the rest of us

as if we're playing the villain, while she acts like the saint

Jixiang,do you really think that she is helping you?

Let me tell you,

she only wants to show off in front of the lead eunuch

You're talking nonsense!

If you don't believe me, you can ask her yourself

Wei Yingluo

you put on a great show today

for the sake of yourself, didn't you?

Fine.

You want to ignore me?

JinXiu, what are you doing?

stop pouring water, stop!

You want to ignore me?

This is what you get for ignoring me.

Serves her right

for showing off

Right?

How dare she makes us look bad in comparison to her

That will teach you,

don't be so eager impress others and show off again

Yingluo

let's share my blanket.

Jinxiu

What are you doing?

Why did you make her blanket wet?

What if Auntie finds out?

She wouldn't dare tell her.

There are many of us here.

We aren't afraid of her.

Wei Yingluo! What do you think you're doing?!

Yingluo, are you crazy?

Let's go tell Auntie.

No, don't. Yingluo was just impulsive,

she didn't mean it.

Yingluo, say something!

You went too far this time

why did you make our blankets wet?

Are you done with your drama?

Drama?

Who is the dramatic one here?

Obviously it's you!

If Jixiang couldn't finish her embroidery work, she would only have worse work

I got praises because I helped her

all of you started being envious

you don't help people, or let others help

it's not reasonable at all

I didn't care at first,

because I didn't come to the Forbidden City to make friends,

but I have to warn you guys

I, Wei Yingluo

was born to be tough and violent.

Who wants to badmouth me?

I have plenty of tricks prepared for it

You..

You are totally arrogant and domineering

Wei Yingluo, you let go of me

Didn't you want to go and speak to Auntie?

Let go!

I'll go with you,

lets tell her what really happened just now.

Yingluo, let go

aren't you afraid of her punishment？

Do you think Auntie has that much time to settle all your disputes?

There's only us,

living in this one room.

If anything happens,

we will all bebe kicked out.

Believe it or not.

Okay.

Let's go right now.

Yingluo, let go

Yingluo you let go

It's so late,

If we bothered Auntie,

she'd kill us.

I'm sorry!

It's my fault, alright?

I won't mention this anymore

I don't want to be kicked out

It's the middle of the night!

What on Earth is going on?

Auntie Fang,

I knocked over a teapot by mistake,

our blankets are all wet.

For goodness' sake!

Flip your blankets.

I don't want to hear another word.

Stop.

Wei Yingluo

what else do you want?

Flip my blanket.

Yingluo,

you are so ferocious.

People are kind at heart,

but it's more important to be able to look after yourself.

Bear that in mind.

SIlence! Go to sleep!

Yingluo, are you crazy?

Get back, get back.

Yingluo, think clearly for a second!

Your older sister has already died.

Every one of you said

my older sister died of an illness.

Now we can prove

that she didn't die of an illness at all.

she was strangled to death.

Shut up!

Look!

Look!

There is a bruise on her throat.

She was murdered.

She was murdered!

Stop talking!

Wei Qingtai

how dare your daughter open the tomb?

She will be struck down by lightning because she disturbed the dead

Yes.

Yingying made a mistake,

and was expelled from the Forbidden City.

That's why she killed herself.

This kind of slovenly woman

has already humiliated our family.

Now Wei Yingluo is spouting nonsense.

Do we need to punish her?

No.

Sir, Yingluo is naive,

all my relatives please forgive her.

I'll will educate her better

Yingluo, kneel and apologise.

I lost my mother at a young age

My sister raised me

They say we are from the same family,

conneted to each other.

But I've never eaten any of their food,

nor drunk a drop of their water,

or received any help from them.

And now,

my sister has died,

and they don't care about the truth.

They think she'll sully the Wei family cemetery.

They aren't willing to share a single handful of earth.

You want me to apologise to them,

on what grounds?

What on earth are you being so obstinate for?

My sister

died for reasons unknown.

I will enter the Fobidden City

to figure out the truth.

You will just make trouble

if you enter the Forbidden City.

Do you want me to disown you?

I don't care

Father,

even if you kick me out of the family

even if the Wei clan kicks me out of it

I will find out the truth

for my older sister.

What? who hit me?

Auntie,

whats wrong?

Look at your sleeping positions,

sleeping on your back, drooling

like a a row of toads.

This is

the Forbidden City

you should follow the rules no matter what you are doing,

you cannot do whatever you want.

Then how should we sleep, Auntie?

Legs!

Lie down!

Hurry!

Legs!

And you,

face the same way!

Remember this position even when you are asleep.

You may go.

Let them sleep a little longer,

then wake them up half an hour later.

My lady, what's wrong?

That can't be right.

My lady,

it's still dark outside.

Did you have a nightmare?

Idiots.

There must be something up with Lady Yi.

Check the next one.

What's this?

What are you doing?

Ayan, please think of something.

Sister, there's no rush.

How can I not? Noble Consort Gao already suspects us,

What should we do?

We need a plan.

Noble Consort is here.

Quickly, go out the back door.

Noble Consort,

peace be upon you.

Lady Yu,

I heard that you were sick, so I came over to visit you

Dr. Liu,

examine Lady Yu.

Yes.

Noble Consort,

What is it?

I brought the doctor here to check on you,

are you not grateful?

My lady, it is merely a cough,

I don't need the doctor.

Dr. Liu,

Let go of me!

Lady Yi, peace be upon you.

Mingyu, I need to speak with the Empress.

Her majesty does not feel well today, she is not seeing visitors.

Why did Lady Yi come here?

It's an emergency.

I need to see her.

I told you, she can't, please come back later

Your majesty!

Help! Your majesty!

Lady Yi, this is the Changchun Palace. How can you be so noisy?

My lady! Your majesty!

Your majesty!

Your majesty!

Your majesty,

please

please help Lady Yu.

Please help Lady Yu!

Your majesty, please help Lady Yu!

That's mine.

Maids can't bring anything into the palace.

Let go.

Tell me, what on Earth is this thing?

I though I would miss my hometown,

so I put some dirt from the front of my home

in this bottle.

I don't think it breaks the rules.

Judging by how nervous you are,

I will see for myself whether or not it is dirt.

How dare you?

Noble Consort!

Noble Consort!

Your majesty.

Noble Consort Gao,

What are you doing ?

Lady Yu is ill.

I invited a doctor to treat her.

Dr. Liu,

What are you giving her?

Her majesty asked you a question,

answer it honestly.

Replying to your majesty,

I discovered that Lady Yu's pulse was irregular on her left side,

but very strong on her right side.

Plus her liver yin is very hot.

Her lungs are inflamed.

And she is coughing.

In order to relieve the inflammation in her lungs,

I created an anti-inflammatory prescription for her

made of loquat cream.

You're lying!

Ayan is clearly pregnant!

What is this lung disease?

Lady Yi!

Last night in the Yanxi Hall,

you told me that Lady Yu had a cough.

Today you tell me that she is pregnant.

Could it be that you're deliberately deceiving me?!

Your majesty, my period is several months late,

I discussed it with Lady Yi, whether I really have an imperial heir,

but I didn't dare confirm it.

I wanted to wait for half a month,

and after I had confirmed it with an imperial doctor, I would tell your majesty.

I heartlessly concealed things from your majesty,

please forgive me.

No.

I was afraid that Lady Yu's baby

would be harmed by someone.

Therefore,

I told everyone that she had a cough.

Harmed? By whom?

Lady Yi,

are you accusing someone?

The facts will prove

that my theory is correct.

This medicine

is evidence that Noble Consort

wants to kill the imperial heir!

How dare you!

Whether it is poisoned or not,

we will know shortly.

Zhang Yuanpan,

As you wish, my lady.

Replying to your majesty,

this medicine really is loquat paste.

Is there nothing else in it?

No, your majesty.

Your majesty,

did you hear that?

Lady Yu said herself,

that the month is too short.

Misdiagnoses by the imperial doctors are a common occurence.

She was sneaky and suspicious.

I invited the imperial doctor to come here out of the goodness of my heart,

and she dares contradict me?

Lady Yi is even more outrageous.

She dares to imply that I would try and harm an imperial heir?

A little consort,

dares to slander a high ranking consort?

This is a great disrespect!

Your majesty, it's all my fault,

it's all my fault!

What is this?

I told you it was earth from my home,

why did you taste it?

Auntie, wait for me!

Yingluo, Auntie clearly thought it was sesame walnut powder,

a maid previously smuggled some in

and was caught.

It was all thrown away.

Then her eyes aren't very good.

This is dirt from my home.

What a strange thing to smuggle in.

You're a silly girl.

I'm sorry, sister.

Noble Consort Gao,

Lady Yi was being impulsive

Impulsive?

So she can spew whatever nonsense she likes?

Your majesty,

what of the rules we have followed for generations?

Lady Yi has insulted me.

If I do not punish her severely,

the lower concubines will forget their place,

and the order of the palace will be destroyed!

Noble Consort Gao,

things are not that serious.

The only reason Lady Yi acted in this way,

was out of concern for Lady Yu's unborn child.

Your majesty,

to insult one's superiors is unforgivable.

You are the head of the imperial harem,

mother of all under heaven,

You should not be swayed by personal feelings.

If you were to take sides,

I wouldn't be able to stand it.

However,

if your conduct is improper, your judgement unjust

people might start to doubt

your ability to govern the harem.

How dare you.

Your majesty,

my behaviour has been too reckless

and I have upset the Noble Consort.

This is my fault.

Your majesty is generous and forgiving,

this I know.

So I beg your majesty,

please do not be upset over this.

Noble Consort,

I forgot my place.

Please punish me as you see fit.

As for Lady Yu,

please think of her unborn child,

and leave her out of this.

Lady Yu has been very fragile lately,

so I shan't make things difficult for her.

As for you...

is truly is up to me to deal with you.

You can't!

You can't,

It's not your turn to speak!

Noble Consort,

I have made countless mistakes today,

it is all my fault.

I cannot manage things properly.

You can beat me or scold me,

I will accept it willingly.

I only ask that Noble Consort vent her anger

What are you doing here all alone?

Where are the others?

They said they have gone to eat breakfast.

Why didn't you go with them?

Today is the first day

I went a little earlier.

You're a good girl.

Auntie Zhang.

I want to ask what you know about someone.

Who?

Auntie has been in charge of the seamstresses for many years,

have you ever heard of

Wei Yingning?

No.

She was a seamstress,

how can you not know?

There are so many girls in the workshop,

and many exceptional seamstresses.

When everyone is at work

their heads are down,

who knows what anyone's name is?

Her embroidery was marvellous,

you couldn't fail to notice her.

What does it matter to stand out from the crowd?

Every seamstress here has special gifts.

Also, I must warn you

the person whom you just mentioned,

the third character in their name

is Noble Consort Gao's maiden name.

It is a taboo amongst maids.

Taboo?

Yes.

The names of the concubines

are not to be spoken by servants.

The person you speak of

would have used a different name here

Therefore, you mustn't mention that name again.

Don't go asking other people.

If someone were to overhear you,

it would not end well

Auntie Zhang

you haven't eaten anything.

I've been looking for you, and here you were talking.

What are you talking about?

Alright.

Let's not waste time, since we're all here.

Come for a walk with me.

Yes.

You must remember the paths of the palace

or else you will get lost

and can't get back.

english

Yes.

Manager Wu said

Consort Yu is pregnant

so the Sewing Department has to go make her new clothes.

Once you enter the Forever Peace Palace,

you two pay attention

to what I do.

Please forgive my lady.

Please forgive my lady.

Consort Qi

I am here in place of Noble Consort Gao to ask you some questions.

Why do I need to slap your mouth?

I slander Noble Consort Gao

english

I am begging you, please forgive my lady.

Please forgive my lady.

I am begging you.

Noble Consort Gao also asked

"do you remember to think carefully before you speak?"

I remember.

Louder!

My lady!

I remember it deep in my heart.

Don't hit her anymore.

Sister made a mistake because of me

If Noble Consort Gao wants to punish someone, then punish me.

If she wants to hit, then hit me.

Consort Yu

You are pregnant with the Emperor's son and is very precious.

Of course you will not be hit

but you are just like Consort Yi.

You made a mistake

so do not be nosy.

Go back.

I will not go back.

Do you want me to go back

and let them

humiliate you?

I won't go.

I won't go.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Quickly, go back inside - go back inside

Consort Yu,

Why are you making trouble?

In case an injury

would happen to the Imperial Child,

Servants would endure harsh punishment

Servants would endure harsh punishment

Servants would endure harsh punishment

Quickly, go back

Go back

Aiyi

Quickly go back

I won't go

You both are really slow-witted (dumb)

Are you still not happy? Take the lucky person away.

Are you still not happy? Take the lucky person away.

Consort Yu, go!

Consort Yu, go!

Consort Yu, go!

Yan, go quickly!

Stop hitting her!

There's still 15 hits left

She got on the Royal Consort's bad side

The punishment is public hits

But Consort Yi is also high rank

So what?

Think about the person she offended

In the palace, there are rules that you don't hit a person's face as punishment

What the Royal Consort is doing

is clearly intended to humiliate Consort Yi

so she loses her dignity

Even if she is of consort rank,

at times consorts are treated worse than servants

Lady...

Lady...

The Lady has lost weight

She hasn't been eating or sleeping

of course she lost weight

The loquat paste has poison

Why wasn't it found?

Lady, stop thinking about it

Doctor Zhang has good skills

he wouldn't be mistaken

She wants to kill my baby

Why couldn't the poison be detected?

Lady Yu, I beg you stop saying that

Old loquat leaves have no poison,

but young leaves do

Ying Luo!

What nonsense are you talking about!

What did you say?

Ying Luo!

Know your place

don't say things you're uncertain of

what you said before

say it again

When I was young--

Ying Luo!

When I was young

I liked eating loquat

but once I ate the pit by mistake

I couldn't breathe

and couldn't stop vomiting

Someone told me later

Doctors use medicine as recorded in books

Records say old loquat leaves

are used to make loquat syrup

but most people don't know why

He found by accident

Old loquat leaves are not poisonous

but young leaves and the pit are

Ingesting too much can lead to death

Royal Consort's lute paste

must have been made with young leaves

only minimal poison

so the doctor couldn't detect it

Even if detected,

they could just say

the pharmacy is at fault

I see now

Come with me to tell the Queen!

Tell the Queen what you said!

Please don't

A mere servant's words

can't be taken seriously

She can't know more than Doctor Zhang

Ying Luo

Why don't you understand the rules? Dare to speak whatever you want.

Do you want to lose your life?

She has experience

She knows the truth

Lady!

She just entered the palace recently

She doesn't understand anything

I beg you to leave her alone

spare her life

Fine,

I won't make it hard for you

I'll go by myself

Lady!

Lady!

silly little girl, You have caused great trouble

Lady Yu

The queen has a headache

She is resting

You won't see her today

Ming Yu

I have important matters to report

Shut the door

Miss Ming Yu!

It's urgent, please open the door!

I have important matters to report!

Ling Long

Auntie Zhang

liked her a lot, right?

All of a sudden

their attitude changed

She spoke nonsense

So Auntie Zhang got angry

Don't know what she did

Wonder what Ying Luo did wrong?

Alright, let's stop for today.

All of you may leave now.

Now that she finally gets punished

after showing off her smartness all the time

she deserves it

Well done for you !

english

Jixiang, what you up to?

Don't you worry

that you get punished again?

But...

no dinner for you if you late!

Let's go

Okay okay

Dinner time!

Look!

She's still here

What are you staring at?

In the past hours,

Altogether there were 2080 clouds drifted by.

302 of them were colorful clouds.

The rest of them were white

You've had some fun

World affairs are like clouds to you, correct?

I've been thinking about this

Why can't I successfully embroider the clouds in the sky?

From today onward, I'd be able to

Drop it!

Let me ask you one thing

Have you thought clearly about the lesson? Do you know what have you done wrong?

What exactly did Ying Luo do wrong?

You've been kneeling for a fucking whole day

yet you don't know

what's wrong?

mama thinks

Ying Luo shouldn't have told Lady Yi, that young loquat leaves have poison?

Do you know what is your status?

Young loquat leave have poison

Royal Doctor doesn't know,

You know

A bunch of nonsense!

Do you want you head decapitated?

Why are you laughing What's true is true

What's false is false

Anyway, every word I said

doesn't go against Heaven and Earth's conscience

Yes, what you said were in all honesty

Are you letting down you parents?

Are you letting down this mama who's worried about you?

I know

You punish me to kneel down

is because you care for me

So I knelt

In that case, you still don't admit to your wrongdoing

These are two different issues

Not wrong yet admitting wrong

Forgive me, I can't do it

I'll take you to see the end fate of speaking without reservation

Be careful!

Zhang Mo Mo

Why are you here?

Yesterday we dropped something

so we come to retrieve it

This place is not a clean place

Leave quickly once you retrieve the item

Thank you for your reminder

We'll leave

Let's go!

Why didn't you wait for me to beg the queen

Why were you so stupid?

Lady

The person has gone

Don't say this kind of crazy thing anymore

She isn't dead

She hasn't gone

Lady

You know the truth

Tell everyone the truth

The Imperial Consort

wants to kill the baby in my womb

Older sister didn't talk nonsense

You tell everyone

You go tell everyone!!

Go!

Lady!

Go!

Lady

Fang Cao

Your lady is extremely grieved

She is delirious

Still not taking her back to rest?

Let's go

Lady, don't create any more trouble

Let's go back

I am begging you!

Let's go

Fang Cao

Did you hear it?

Young loquat leaves have poison

They have poison

Still looking!

You've seen it yourself

Lady Yi was humiliated in public

Lost her face

The Imperial Consort

indeed wanted her not being able to continue on living

The words that you said

simply wouldn't be able to turn the whole situation.

Consider yourself lucky this time

If next time the Imperial Concubine knows about it,

your little life would be hard to protect

Why did Lady Yi want to die?

If she didn't die,

she can still fight

What did you say?

Lady Yi was just too coward

Other people humiliated her,

she then killed herself

For what reason?

A dignified consort

getting slapped in public

In the future, how could she face it?

Not kill herself, is she going to continue on living instead? Isn't it looking for her own disgrace?

If it was me

Million people spat on me,

I can wait till my face dries

Even if I have to kneel down and wait

I also will continue on waiting

knowing that one day the truth will come out

Circumstances is stronger than people

A chicken egg won't dare to bump into a rock

Mo Mo is wrong

I'm not a chicken egg

I am that stinky rock

One day when it's your turn,

you will then know how frightening it is

Facing a bump and be badly beaten,

at worst it will be death.

You're not allowed to say that word

Stubborn as a donkey!

Why did my innocent sister die a tragic death?

Why did Lady Yi hang herself?

Why is the world unfair?

Why??

Why? Why?

Audacious servant!!

Who allows you to hurt the cypress spirit?

Why are you hiding?

The Emperor's carriage is here, still not kneel down

Quick!

Quick!!

Greetings to the Emperor

Who allows you to hurt cypress spirit?

May I venture to ask who is cypress spirit?

Impudent!

This is the cypress spirit

Even a plaque with these two words personally handwritten by the Emperor is also hang here

On ordinary days, so many people come and worship

You dare to hurt spirit cypress?

Drag away

Cane 30 times

I just entered the palace, didn't recognize spirit cypress

But what I did, there is a reason for it
