[How dare you!?]

[Episode 3]

What I meant was

that my temper is indeed terrible.

Please sit, Mother.

Mother, why get angry

over a mere consort?

Here, have some tea.

Let's talk things through.

Little Crown Prince,

how are your studies lately?

F-

Father...

recently

m-my studies have been satisfactory.

Very good!

Thanks to Mother's virtuous influence,

the little Crown Prince has been raised so well.

Little Crown Prince,

if you need anything in the future,

feel free to tell me.

Yes.

Now you're acting like a proper father.

There is indeed something

you can help the Crown Prince with.

Our Crown Prince

is exceptionally intelligent.

However, his horsemanship and archery skills

are somewhat lacking.

Doesn't General Luo have a young son

of similar age?

Why not summon him to the palace

to be a companion to the Crown Prince?

General Luo

has just been commended for his merits.

Wouldn't this be somewhat...

Guards!

Here we go again.

I'll draft the decree immediately.

Guards!

Serve tea to Consort Yu.

Your Highness.

What are you doing?

Your Highness,

I was blessed with a son only in my forties.

He is my life.

Now, His Majesty summoning him to the palace—

while it sounds like making him a study partner,

in reality, it's actually holding him as hostage.

What if...

What if he fails to please the Crown Prince?

If anything goes wrong,

it could cost my entire family's lives!

General Luo,

please rise to speak.

I was a companion to the Crown Prince since childhood.

The hardships involved,

no one understands better than I do.

General Luo,

if you still trust me,

give me some time.

I promise to bring your child back

safe and sound.

Your Highness is most gracious.

I am but a simple warrior

and don't know fancy words.

If you can save my beloved son,

I will lay down my life,

and follow

your lead alone.

Rest assured, General Luo.

I will keep my promise.

I shall

take my leave now.

I've only just realized

why you suddenly came to the Empress Dowager today

and put on such a show.

What show?

You wanted everyone in the palace to know

that you won't tolerate me being criticised,

let alone being framed.

This way they'll think

this demonic consort has become the emperor's weakness.

Controlling her means controlling you.

This would make them lower their guard

while they continue fighting among themselves.

This way we can develop our strength in secret.

Right?

You figured that out?

Is my acting that bad?

Your acting was excellent.

It took me a whole day to figure it out.

You're truly a mastermind.

Now I've become both your shield and your weakness.

When one day,

an assassin

holds a sword

against my throat to force your hand,

you could just say,

"What a fool.

I don't care about her."

Then with one stroke,

skewer both me and the assassin like candied fruits.

If you really think that way,

aren't you angry?

Not at all.

We're all drowning people.

Whoever can swim to safety does so by their own ability.

I understand completely.

I'd do the same in your position.

Besides,

didn't I not let him know about Prince Duan

contacting me in private?

Moreover,

my request to go to the library was also self-serving.

The two doors there connect the inside and outside of the palace,

providing my escape route from this place.

But let's be clear about one thing.

Don't give me that self-sacrifice nonsense.

If someday only one of us can survive,

don't go easy on me just because I'm a woman.

I won't go easy on you either.

No matter what,

I will never betray you.

Even if in the end

you choose Prince Duan,

it would still be the same.

Of course,

if you don't want to choose anyone,

if someday I die first,

before I die,

I'll send you out of the palace,

away from this place of conflict,

toward the freedom that belongs to you.

No one will harm you in the slightest.

I swear.

That's all far in the future.

Let's first

handle the immediate matters at hand

and enjoy the moonlight while we can.

The moon is so full tonight.

Because today is the 15th.

I see.

The

15th...

Yong'er.

My lord.

I haven't seen you for days.

Why have you lost weight?

Did something happen?

Nothing serious.

Just today,

when Consort Zhuang and Consort Yu went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager,

I teased Consort Yu a few times

and was slapped by His Majesty.

One must be careful

in the harem about everything these days.

I'm scared...

Scared that one day...

You took such a great risk

to entrust your true feelings to me.

As long as I am here,

I won't let anything happen to you.

Actually, these few days,

I've been carrying the sachet you gave me

on me.

When I see it,

it's like seeing you.

We staked out an hour in advance

just to eavesdrop?

This isn't just any eavesdropping.

The book says

that their first date on a full moon night

laid the foundation for

years of cooperation between the leads.

Do you remember how I died?

-Seriously— -Stop complaining.

I can't hear anything now.

By the way,

why hasn't Your Highness sent any news for days?

Are you busy with official duties?

It's a long story.

Why did they change locations again?

Why did she leave just like this?

Recently, the affairs at my residence have been troublesome.

I truly have little leisure time.

It's related to the harem too.

Actually, I risked coming to see you

because of this matter.

The connection between women in the harem and the court

is always about their family background.

If it makes Your Highness so hesitant,

it must be either Consort Shu's brother

or Noble Consort Wei's father.

You are indeed clever.

It is indeed Grand Tutor Wei.

Grand Tutor Wei.

A key character has appeared.

Grand Tutor Wei's son recently

trampled a commoner to death with his horse in the street.

The victim had come to the capital to file an imperial complaint

against the Salt Inspector from his hometown.

Intercepting an imperial complaint

is a serious crime.

The scoundrel knew he had committed a terrible offense

that couldn't be undone,

so he privately contacted Grand Tutor Wei.

Grand Tutor Wei, eager to protect his son,

managed to suppress the matter.

Grand Tutor Wei is the Empress Dowager's man.

Noble Consort Wei

is also highly favored because of this.

He is the Empress Dowager's right-hand man.

For years, he's been using the Salt Transportation License

to amass wealth and commit all kinds of evil deeds.

What goes around

comes around.

That's exactly how it's written in the original novel?

Word for word.

The author must be an "Infernal Affairs" fan?

Where's the straw mat for your lower body?

This imperial palace is too poor.

Come in quickly.

Your Highness need not say more.

Tell me what you want to do.

I want to take this opportunity to eliminate Grand Tutor Wei

and bring justice to the people.

But this matter is of great importance,

and I haven't figured out a good plan yet.

I know a good way.

The Salt Inspector

once gave

Grand Tutor Wei a sarira as a bribe.

-But he thought... -Look. Is it beautiful?

It is just an ordinary red agate,

so he gave it to his daughter, Noble Consort Wei.

How did you learn of this?

It's a secret.

Anyway,

I will find a way to get it

to help you.

Yong'er...

If that's true,

you'll be doing me a great favor.

What a jerk.

Playing Xie Yong'er like a fool.

You're really getting into this eavesdropping.

That relic they mentioned,

is it really true?

It should be real.

Let's go.

Xie Yong'er is willing to do anything—

even theft—for Prince Duan.

She's really going all out.

You stepped on my foot.

I-I'm sorry.

Who's there?

Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

Did His Majesty and Consort Yu

have a fight in the Imperial Garden?

Why are you so gossipy?

I can't believe our plan to drive them apart

actually...

Worked!

Who's there?

My Prince,

it was me.

He didn't report us.

He even

covered for us.

If I'd known I was so good at recruiting,

I should have gone into HR.

In that case,

Xu Yao switching sides

is just a matter of time.

Taking down Prince Duan

is not far from succeeding.

When Grand Tutor Wei is imprisoned,

Xu Yao will surely use the opportunity to investigate his father's case.

He might even sneak in to question him directly.

Then I should get there before him to question him—

to take control of the situation.

This Prince Duan

is not a fool.

Once he finds out,

Xu Yao might be in danger.

Then I'll create

a new career change plan for him.

He can get land allocation rewards

based on his own merit.

Full benefits,

annual leave, and paternity leave—

line them all up for him.

Then I can't sleep here tonight.

Why?

Xie Yong'er is going to

go steal Noble Consort Wei's sarira bead tomorrow.

I need to be in the palace.

Otherwise,

with no audience,

who will the actors perform for?

How about a couple more special drinks?

Nope. Drinking too much will interfere with business.

Help! There's a thief!

One.

Two.

Three.

[Changning Palace]

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

My Lady, bad news!

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

My Lady!

Something valuable went missing from Noble Consort Wei's palace.

They're searching everywhere for it.

Concubine Xie is also spreading rumors.

She's saying you must be involved in this matter.

Isn't that a malicious accusation?

Eight.

My Lady!

Two.

Are you listening to me?

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

The treasure I've lost is priceless.

Ten of your lives wouldn't be enough for me to pay for it.

You few, search the back courtyard.

The rest of you, search inside.

Your Highness, we haven't found anything.

Useless fools.

I'll search myself.

Sister, let me help you.

Nothing here?

Oh, Sister.

Come quickly.

There's a hidden compartment here.

But I'm certain there's nothing inside.

By the way, Sister.

There are 10 more chests over there.

There are 6 cabinets there

and 3 makeup boxes.

Let's search them all carefully.

[Changning Palace]

Sister!

Are you not going to search anymore?

Hasn't anyone found anything?

All of you are useless!

Your Highness.

We found it.

There's a hidden compartment in here.

Yu Wanyin.

What do you have to say for yourself?

Caught you red-handed.

Guards!

Arrest her!

I'd like to see who dares.

-Greetings, Your Majesty. -Greetings, Your Majesty.

Shouldn't he be attending court at this hour?

Surprised?

I left early.

Your Majesty.

Please don't blame Lady Wei.

She lost a rare treasure.

She's too anxious.

that's why she's

blindly taking her anger out on me.

Your Majesty.

Don't listen to her nonsense.

I have evidence.

Someone saw a young eunuch

steal my agate,

and deliver it to Consort Yu's palace.

Bring it here!

Your Majesty!

Is this your so-called evidence?

This is impossible.

It was clearly a...

It was clearly a precious pearl.

How did it turn into a date?

After all, it was given to my beloved consort by the Grand Tutor.

I imagine

it must be extremely valuable.

I won't stop you.

I'll even help you.

Let's continue searching together.

What's happening?

Why all this commotion?

Empress Dowager.

I heard that

Noble Consort Wei lost an extremely precious jewelry.

So early this morning,

she went to Consort Yu's place

to search for it.

It's just a piece of jewelry.

Is that worth making such a fuss?

I also find it strange, Your Highness.

Though the Consort's rank is high,

she isn't actually favored.

Yet His Majesty

is willing to search the palace

for her.

You're saying this matter even involved the Emperor?

Yes.

Something isn't right.

Something's suspicious.

Your Highness.

How's it going on outside?

I've found out, My Lady.

Noble Consort Wei

didn't find the red agate in Consort Yu's quarters.

They didn't find it?

Are you certain you personally

gave it to someone from her palace?

Absolutely certain.

I even saw that young eunuch

enter Changning Palace with my own eyes.

That's impossible.

Oh, Your Highness.

This food was sent by Consort Yu.

Sending food at a time like this?

Your Highness.

Why would she

only send steamed buns?

How...

How...

How did the red agate end up here?

Was this food box sent

before the palace search

or after?

Shortly after the search.

Are you sure?

I'm certain.

The guards had just left.

I was quite flustered

and almost dropped the box when receiving it.

If this box was sent after the search,

it means she wasn't trying to frame me.

It also shows she knows I did this.

Yet, not only didn't she report me,

she even returned it.

Could it be that when she came last time,

she genuinely wanted to befriend me?

A 2D character

couldn't possibly be this magnanimous.

Or perhaps,

because I changed the original storyline,

a butterfly effect was caused?

She never had the chance to fall in love with Prince Duan,

so she never had the opportunity to turn evil.

Wait.

If she didn't turn evil,

then the biggest villain in this story

would be me, wouldn't it?

Your Highness.

What should we do

with this red agate now?

I've summoned all ministers today

to ask about

the preparations

for the Grand Longevity Banquet.

May I ask, Your Majesty,

are you referring to last year's or this year's?

This year's, of course.

Your Majesty's birthday from last year

was just over a month ago.

This year's Grand Longevity Banquet

[Chief of the State Ceremonial Bureau]

has not yet been

scheduled by us, Your Majesty.

Seems like the Ministry of Rites

is not doing anything.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

The agate has been found.

It's just a small agate.

There's nothing special about it.

Why does Noble Consort Wei

value it so highly?

Your Majesty doesn't know.

It's not an ordinary agate.

It's a sarira that the Qiang State

specially presented to Your Majesty

for your birthday.

It's a priceless treasure.

This was presented to me?

Why haven't I seen it before?

Your Majesty,

I know all the gift records

by heart.

There's absolutely no mistake.

This...

Perhaps

Your Majesty gave it to Noble Consort Wei?

Grand Tutor Wei,

did I

give this to Noble Consort Wei?

Impossible!

Your Majesty,

this couldn't possibly belong to my daughter.

Perhaps

it looks similar

and the palace servants made a mistake.

If that's the case,

let Noble Consort Wei come and identify it herself.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I'll summon her right away.

What?

You're saying Noble Consort Wei's

lost red agate

was found in our pond?

And it's a sarira bead offered by the Qiang State?

Yes.

His Majesty was furious when he found out.

I heard he's already ordered Eunuch An

to bring Noble Consort Wei to identify it.

This is not good.

If Noble Consort Wei admits

this is what she lost,

then the crime of hiding tribute items

could lead to the execution of her entire family.

Empress Dowager,

if we don't stop this now, it will be too late.

No.

Something's off.

This tribute item was

found in my quarters.

Everyone at court knows who Grand Tutor Wei is loyal to.

If I go there now,

wouldn't it basically be announcing to everyone

that I'm the mastermind behind this?

Sorry for not realizing it beforehand.

You...

Oh, my God...

These...

These two guys are

good for nothing

but trouble.

Fools! Fools!

Greetings, Your Majesty.

My dear, please rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

My dear, come and see

if what I've found is

what you lost.

Your Majesty,

this is indeed the agate I lost.

Where did you find it, Your Majesty?

In the pond at the Empress Dowager's palace.

How could that be?

My dear, please look carefully.

Don't mistake something

that isn't yours for your own.

How could I be mistaken?

This was my birthday gift from my father.

I had been wearing it all the time.

This agate even has

my childhood nickname carved on its bottom.

Shut up!

You foolish girl!

You don't even know

when it was switched,

yet you dare talk such nonsense here!

As precious as this item is,

how could it have been switched?

Father, what on earth is going on?

Your Majesty,

I'd like to expose Grand Tutor Wei's corruption.

[Vice Minister Wu]

He allowed his son to accept bribes

and ride recklessly in the streets,

killing a commoner who was filing a petition!

His crimes are too numerous to list.

This is complete nonsense!

Who put you up to this

to frame me?

If my son

truly committed such serious crimes,

I

would never cover for him!

Your Majesty,

I'm telling the truth!

Truth?

Do you have evidence?

I do.

[I want to charge the Salt Inspector]

[with selling Salt Transportation and Sales Licenses for personal gain.]

Blocked petitions,

engaged in corruption,

accepted bribes,

and hoarded tribute items.

Grand Tutor Wei,

it seems that you're not content with being my father-in-law.

You even want my throne, huh?

I wouldn't dare.

[Mu Yun]

Your Majesty,

may I request

the Empress Dowager's presence?

I promise

I will come clean.

On my way here with Noble Consort Wei,

I noticed the lights in the Empress Dowager's palace were out.

I think

the Empress Dowager

went to rest early to avoid being disturbed.

In that case,

I have to send Grand Tutor Wei

to the Court of Revision.

[Yongyan Hall]

That's total bullshit!

Noble Consort Wei wears that sarira agate every day.

How could you not know about that?

Stop!

The way you talked was way too modern!

Can you please stick to the script?

You've revised it so many times.

Who can remember all those lines, miss?

It's my first time directing.

I'm a bit nervous, too.

No worries.

I'm a CEO.

Manipulating employees is

easy-peasy for me.

To deal with Grand Tutor Wei,

I can simply improvise on the spot.

What about Xu Yao?

You must make sure he's present.

He's so concerned about anything

related to Senior Minister Xu.

So he rushed to the Court of Revision as soon as he

got the news.

That's good.

Is Xu Yao really that important?

Of course!

In the original story, he's a legendary minister.

Only with his help

can we defeat Prince Duan

and make you a good emperor.

Besides,

that young man is so handsome.

Can you bear to see him deceived and utilized by others?

I knew it.

All right,

since you're ready,

you may set off now.

Come on!

What are you waiting for?

Hurry!

I'll wait for your good news in the library.

Good luck!

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

I've been wronged!

I was only focused on easing your burdens, Your Majesty.

It was those villains who set me up.

Are you saying

I've wronged you for the issue

regarding the sarira agate?

I wouldn't dare say that.

It's just...

It's just that there's more behind the issue about that sarira agate.

My son brought it home.

My daughter liked its bright color

and asked for it.

I had no idea it was so valuable!

I see.

So everything was

done by your son and daughter.

Fine.

I'll release you immediately

and imprison them instead.

That's not what I meant.

Then you mean

you did everything yourself?

You deceived me?

That's not what I meant either.

Neither this nor that.

Then how exactly did today's incident happen?

My daughter lost her jewelry at a rather suspicious time.

Also, Vice Minister Wu

and the Capital Prefect

[I want to charge the Salt Inspector]

carried the so-called evidence with them.

[with selling Salt Transportation and Sales Licenses for personal gain.]

Your Majesty, you wouldn't believe

that they didn't plan this in advance, would you?

Then I'm even more confused now.

Vice Minister Wu and the Capital Prefect

have no regular contact with you.

Why would they set up such an elaborate trap

to get you?

Yeah!

They all work for Prince Duan!

Prince Duan...

Could it be Prince Duan trying to harm me?

Why would Prince Duan want to harm me?

Do you know

that among Prince Duan's counselors,

there is one called Xu Yao?

Xu Yao?

He's still alive?

Back then,

Senior Minister Xu's case was

orchestrated by you, right?

Yes.

But at that time,

it was all Prince Duan's idea.

What a coincidence.

The hunting dog is cooked after the rabbit is caught.

The bow is put away when the birds are all gone.

He used you

and then abandoned you,

saving

your enemy,

Xu Yao.

He also made Xu Yao see you as his lifelong nemesis.

My brother is

so horrible.

First, he used you

to eliminate Senior Minister Xu.

Then he used Xu Yao

to get rid of you.

He truly kept it fair to both sides

like no one else in this world.

I also know

why you joined the Empress Dowager's faction.

You studied hard since childhood

with lofty ambitions.

But...

Your talents went unrecognized.

By chance,

Prince Duan valued me as someone with potential

and gave me an opportunity.

He privately persuaded me

to impeach Senior Minister Xu

and cooperate with him

to fabricate flawless evidence of crimes.

Fortune favors the bold.

I won my gamble!

I not only gained merit with the Empress Dowager

but also won Prince Duan's trust.

From then on,

my career soared.

Among all the court officials,

only you

could play both sides

with such stability.

You've been working

for both of them.

Only I, the Emperor...

I am

so sinful and deserve to die.

Your Majesty,

I know

that I can not survive this.

I just want to know

how you learned about this, Your Majesty.

Stand up.

I just guessed.

Just guessed?

Your Highness.

How did Xu Yao

get into the Court of Revision?

According to the guards,

he entered with an imperial token.

Oh, Xu Yao...

I'm afraid you're

going to lose this game.

Who's there?

I need to see Her Highness for something urgent.

Without His Majesty's decree,

no one is allowed to enter.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Xu Yao?

Why is he here?

Let him in now.

Yes.

Please.

Mr. Xu?

What brings you here?

Your Highness,

I need to see His Majesty for some urgent matters.

Could you please help me, Your Highness?

Mei, go invite His Majesty over.

Understood.

What's wrong?

Is someone after you?

Don't worry.

You're absolutely safe here.

Your Highness,

it's really urgent.

If it's about Senior Minister Xu,

I think I know about it.

Your Highness, you truly have His Majesty's favor.

I was investigating

my father's wrongful conviction.

I found all the evidence pointed to Prince Duan all of a sudden.

Just now,

I returned to my room

and took a sip of tea.

I noticed a weird taste, felt

a burning pain in my stomach,

and realized I was poisoned.

You were poisoned?

Let's go find the imperial physician.

Your Highness,

since Prince Duan wants me dead, I have no chance of survival.

So,

I pretended to know nothing,

snuck out through the back door,

and temporarily escaped Prince Duan's secret guards.

With no way to meet His Majesty,

I could only come to the library

to ask for your help, Your Highness.

Xu Yao!

I know my sins are grave.

But before I die, I have only one request.

I've worked for Prince Duan for years,

and I know all his crimes.

If His Majesty can save my father,

I, Xu Yao,

will surely repay this kindness!

Don't worry.

His Majesty is a man of his word.

Senior Minister Xu is already on his way back to the capital.

Is that true?

That's wonderful.

My father

has always hoped

that His Majesty could be a good emperor.

If he returns,

he will certainly serve with absolute loyalty,

using all his knowledge to assist His Majesty,

making His Majesty...

Xu Yao!

Don't worry.

His Majesty values Senior Minister Xu's talents greatly,

and he values yours as well.

Also, His Majesty

has already arranged a way out for you.

He wants you to safely switch sides.

Let's get out of here first, alright?

Let's go.

I'm afraid

I won't be able to see His Majesty today.

[Library]

Fire! Come and help put it out!

Someone please help!

It's on fire?

Let's go!

Let's get out of here now!

Come on.

Go.

Xu Yao!

Get up!

Your Highness,

it's too late.

I've recorded all

of Prince Duan's plans in a book

and buried it under the window of his mansion's back kitchen.

Don't go looking for it right away.

Wait at least 7 days.

Stop this talk.

Let's get out first.

Let's go.

Xu Yao!

Run.

Don't look back for whoever you meet.

Stay alive.

Xu Yao!

Get up quickly!

Xu Yao,

get up now!

Lady Yu?

Yong'er.

Help me.

Take me to see His Majesty.

Let's go.

Stay here and wait for me.

I'll have someone carry you there.

No.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Your Highnesses.

Greetings, Your Highness.

I heard the library caught fire.

I've sent my guards to put out the fire.

Fortunately, Her Highness is blessed with good luck.

Are you hurt anywhere,

Your Highness?

Your Highness,

I don't think this is appropriate.

It's an emergency.

I'm simply escorting Her Highness back to the palace.

Your Highness!

Let me go with you.

No need for help here.

Please fetch the imperial physician, Your Highness.

All right.

Why are you trembling so much, Your Highness?

Are you scared of heights,

worried about falling down these steps?

If you're scared,

you can hold onto me tightly.

It's just the gusts.

They're making me feel chilly.

Your Highness, I hope you and I can remain

as we were when we first met,

without fear,

without distance.

Do you know

serving the emperor is like living with a tiger?

Instead of fearing me,

you should fear His Majesty.
