Boss.

Sir, what's the matter?

Did Boss Hung from Leung Tsai Tsan
Clinic buy beeswax from you? Talk.

Yes. But he already confessed.

What does our beeswax
have to do with the case?

Don't be scared. We just want to confirm

what kind of beeswax
Boss Hung bought from you.

He was very demanding. He
only bought our best beeswax.

This is it.

Did he buy this kid of beeswax from you?

Don't joke. He was so demanding.
How would he use such cheap stuff?

This is just good for
wrapping bone-setting pills.

Do you remember if anyone bought this
kind of wax in the past six months?

That long ago? How would I remember?

Hey.

Sir, don't get mad. I may not
remember. But I've kept the invoices.

Dr To, is Yan Fuk-chi really a
member of the Imperial Hospital?

Why did he buy so much cheap beeswax?

Fact is he wrapped the baifeng
pills again with the cheap beeswax.

In the process, some problems
occurred so the pills turned bad.

Empress Dowager threw up and
got the runs after she took them.

You figured out something
so complicated. How smart.

This is so obvious. How complicated is it?

I don't think it's that
simple. Let me ask you this.

Why would Yan Fuk-chi open
the expensive baifeng pills

and repackage them with cheap beeswax?

I know why.

There's a secret on the original beeswax.
So he had to change the packaging.

I know why he did it. He didn't
want people to see this stamp.

Renyin? What's so uncommon about that?

Right.

There's nothing unusual about printing
the year of production on the beeswax.

Is that a secret?

If "Renyin" is printed on the
beeswax as the year of production,

that means it was produced this year.

Which of course is not a problem. But...

I get it. If the year of
production printed on the beeswax

shows that it was
produced a few years back,

then people will know that it's stale
medicine when they see the stamp.

But I still don't understand.

The baifeng pills are wrapped in beeswax.
They can last three to seven years.

Why would it be a problem if
people saw that they're old?

Let me explain it this way so that
it's easier for you to understand.

These baifeng pills
were stored in the palace

before the Eight-Nation
Alliance troops entered the city.

After the troops had entered the
city, the palace was in chaos.

Empress Dowager, His Majesty
and the Queen left the capital.

No one tended to the
Imperial Hospital's pharmacy.

When Empress Dowager returned,

she was worried that the baifeng
pills might have turned bad.

She ordered that they be
destroyed and new ones bought.

It's a waste to destroy the pills.

Exactly. Someone shared your view.

Yan Fook-chi was in charge
of buying the new pills.

He shared Kot Kan's view.

He thought it was a waste
to destroy the baifeng pills.

So he peeled off the beeswax
around the old beifeng pills

and replaced it with new beeswax.

Then he printed the stamp of
the current year on the old pills

and sold them to the
Imperial Hospital as new.

He pocketed the money
and resold the new pills.

But something happened
during the production process,

which made Empress Dowager
sick after she took the pills.

Now that we know what he did,

we can report this to the
government and have him arrested.

Yam Sik-kan, what are you doing?

Yan Fook-chi, I know what you did.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You were afraid To Chung would find out
what happened with the baifeng pills.

So you filed a report against him
at the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen.

But you've forgotten that I was
part of the investigation too.

What do you want?

Don't worry. I'm not like
To Chung. I just want money.

You can seal my lips with money.

I'm sorry. I really don't
know what you're talking about.

You do. But you don't
seem to be in charge.

Look. Tell your master what I said.

If he wants to talk, meet me at the
Mountain Deity Temple at 10pm tonight.

Oh, be warned,

if I don't get my money tonight, there's
no telling what will happen tomorrow.

Yan Fook-chi, you're late. Fine.

But it seems like you really
didn't care about what I said.

Aren't you afraid of going to jail?

Yam Sik-kan, how dare you blackmail
me! You don't want to live?

Deputy Zhou?

We never stuck our noses
in each other's business.

You've forced me to do
this. You asked for this.

You want to kill me with poisoned wine?

You think you can go Scot-free then?

Yam Sik-kan was found
reselling the baifeng pills.

He took poison to kill
himself to evade punishment.

I've even prepared a suicide note for you

with a full confession.
Isn't this perfect?

Zhou Huaian, you're so cunning.

But I don't get it.

Why didn't you just resell the old

medicine that was
supposed to be destroyed?

Why go to so much trouble

and cause Empress Dowager to get sick
after taking some bad baifeng pills?

You screwed up.

You're so stupid.

How could selling old drugs be
as profitable as selling new ones?

If you're going to be corrupt, you have to
maximize gains. That's how one gets ahead.

Zhou Huaian, you're lucky that
Yan Fook-chi is as greedy as you.

He bought cheap beeswax just
to save a little bit of cost.

Otherwise we wouldn't have
found out what happened.

To Chung?

Me too.

And us too. Drop your knife.

Brother To, thank God
you guys came in time.

If you had come later, they
would have killed me already.

So you guys are working together.

You didn't expect Brother
Yam would lie, right?

But I really can't believe
you're both so gullible.

Everyone heard your confession just now.
There's also this suicide note you wrote.

We have witnesses and physical
evidence. You can't deny it anymore.

Take him in.

Now that Boss has been proven innocent,
Leung Tsai Tsan Clinic has reopened.

This is great.

Boss Hung must be really happy in heaven.

From now on, we'll all work a lot
harder to revive Leung Tsai Tsan Clinic.

Great...

Pak-hop, the misery is all over
now. You should be happy, right?

That's right, Mrs. To. Don't feel so sad.

Come on. Let's cut the roast
pig together. Come on...

OK.

Let's stick together...

There's roast pork.

Have a seat please.

Have a seat please. Over here.

Just a second. It'll be your turn soon.

Today's medicine...

Wai-Shan.

Just a second.

Pak-hop, are you tired?

I'm fine. I'm just worried that
Dad's life's work will be wasted

now that I'm running Leung
Tsai Tsan Clinic for him.

You mustn't think that.

Manager Lo, Dr Tong
and Dr Wu will help you.

You can take your time to learn. Given
your smarts, I'm sure you'll succeed.

But I'm a woman after all. I
can't possibly replace my dad.

You mean...?

Wai-Shan, why don't you try to tender your
resignation with the Imperial Hospital?

Run Leung Tsai Tsan Clinic with me, OK?

Quit my job at the Imperial
Hospital? I'm afraid...

I understand.

Apart from the Imperial Hospital,

there's Empress Dowager
and His Majesty too.

But so many things happened to our family.

I think His Majesty and Empress
Dowager would understand.

Why don't you try?

OK. I'll try then.

Your Majesty, Dr To would like to see you.

Send him in.

Your Majesty, Your Highness.

At ease.

Much obliged.

To Chung, how are you?

I'm fine. Thank you.

I was so stupid.

I didn't know something so serious
had happened to your family.

I wouldn't have known if Prince
Chun hadn't told me what happened.

Thank you for your concern.

I can't believe government
officials would be so corrupt.

Not only was it a grave
miscarriage of justice,

your father-in-law even
died because of this

It seems that carrying out reforms in
the government is absolutely imperative.

I understand Your Majesty's
enthusiasm in carrying out reforms.

But you must do it step by
step. More haste, less speed.

You mustn't forget the lesson
you learned from before.

What's your suggestion then, Prince Chun?

Start with the Imperial
Hospital, for example.

You mean reform the
Imperial Hospital first?

We can introduce Western
medicine in the Imperial Hospital.

We'll combine both Chinese
and Western medicine

so that they can complement each other.

This will enhance the capabilities
of the Imperial Hospital.

As long as reform in the
Imperial Hospital is successful,

Then Your Majesty can prove to
Empress Dowager that it works.

It will be a huge step forward to gaining
Empress Dowager's support for Your Majesty

to carry out reforms in the government.

To Chung, what do you think?

I think this is absolutely viable.

Since you're both so confident,
I'll follow your suggestion.

To Chung, you will be fully in charge
of the reforms in the Imperial Hospital.

Don't let me down.

Yes, Your Majesty.

You mean you didn't tender
your resignation to His Majesty?

At the time, His Majesty
was so excited and ambitious.

How could I quit at that
moment? I hope you understand.

Of course I do. National affairs
trump our family business.

Since you've made this decision,
Of course I'll support you.

It's good you understand. I
promise whenever I have the time,

I will help you in Leung Tsai Tsan Clinic.

We'll work together as a couple.

You must keep your promise.

Actually you should go to Leung
Tsai Tsan Clinic more often

to learn how to run the
business from Manager Lo.

You should meet more people
and learn more new things.

It won't be as boring as staying at home.

I will work very hard.

Otherwise how would I deserve the
title of Imperial Doctor To's wife?

Good. I'm going to see Father
Taylor early tomorrow morning

to discuss how to introduce Western
medicine to the Imperial Hospital.

It's late. You should go to bed now.

What about you?

I want to do some research in the
study. Lin-chi, help Mrs. To to bed.

Yes, Dr To.

The flowers may look small and weak.

But they're really tough like
Chuen Yan Clinic's Miss Fuk.

She's not what she appears to be.
She may appear rude and ill-mannered.

But she's meticulous and thoughtful.

Her aunt told me that she secretly
helped solve your father's case.

Also, when the Yamen officers
came to arrest Wai-Shan,

she warned him in time
so he didn't get caught.

She's really devoted to
Wai-Shan. She's really nice.

He said he wanted to carry out reforms
in the Imperial Hospital for His Majesty.

He refused to quit. But he just
can't leave that cheap woman.

Zaifeng, not having a son is the
worst conduct against filial piety.

I hope you and your wife will
procreate for the Aisin Gioros soon

and work hard for Qing's prosperity.

Zaifeng...

Youlan...

We'll abide by Your
Royal Highness's teaching

Right. It would be best if you
could have more kids in a short time.

It's been so long since we've
heard crying babies in the palace.

Zaifeng, how's the implementation
of the new administration?

The rebuilding of the Imperial
Hospital at Dianmen has been completed.

Imperial Hospital can move in anytime.

Then pick a lucky date and have them move
into the new office as soon as possible.

There's one other thing.

The plaque written by Emperor Kangxi

almost got destroyed by the Japanese
when the allied forces invaded the city.

Although it's intact, it
hasn't been hung there again.

I think we should make
this a grand occasion

to show Emperor Kangxi due respect.

What do you suggest then?

I suggest asking His Majesty to
officiate at the opening ceremony.

He's expressed his intention to carry
out reforms in the Imperial Hospital.

If Your Royal Highness gives
him this important task,

I'm sure he would be
really grateful to you.

You're really thoughtful.

It's most appropriate for His Majesty
to officiate at the opening ceremony.

OK. Let's do that then.

Much obliged.

On this lucky date, the
Imperial Hospital is reopened.

Will Emperor Kangxi and
the three former teachers

please bless the Imperial Hospital and
keep the nation and its people safe.

Much obliged.

I've decided to carry out
reforms in the Imperial Hospital.

I will introduce Western
medicine in the Imperial Hospital

so that Chinese medicine
and Western medicine

can complement one another.

Learning is like going
against the current in a boat.

If you don't make progress,
you'll fall behind.

Chinese medicine has a long history.

But Western medicine has an
extensive and profound scope too.

We should learn what they are good at
to make the Imperial Hospital better.

Then we can help more
patients and all the people.

As for how to introduce Western
medicine and the details of the reform,

I've decided to appoint To Chung
to take full charge of this.

Look, all the internal organs in
the human body are inter-related.

Take the heart and the lungs, for example.

They are like brothers.
They serve each other.

There are two main arteries in the heart

that transfer blood to the lungs
so it can be filled with air.

Dr Cheng... Dr Cheng. Is there
anything you don't understand?

Dr To asked if you
understand what he said.

We're taking a crash
course in our old age.

How can I remember all this?

Blood travels through the body all
because of the heart's function.

Blood and qi. Isn't blood carried by qi?

Qi is just a form of
expression in Chinese medicine.

It can't be measured.

That's the biggest difference
between Chinese and Western medicine.

Actually Chinese medicine is so expansive.

We can't learn everything even if we
were to spend our whole life on it.

The acupoints and meridians alone
are already a mystery to Westerners.

Now we have to learn
their Western medicine?

Aren't we putting the
cart before the horse?

That's right...

If we have to cut open the patient
to find out what his illness is,

how many times can we do that?

Chinese medicine is different.

We can diagnose the disease and
determine whether the patient is weak

just by observing the
patient's pulse and countenance.

In short, a person must
have enough prime qi

If there's insufficient prime
qi, his breath will be irregular.

Does a Western doctor know how
to cure a patient like that?

Every human organ serves
a different purpose.

The liver Your Majesty is
holding helps drain toxins.

Look. When food reaches
the stomach, it is digested.

Then the small intestines
will absorb the nutrients.

Finally, the food becomes waster

and is discharged through
the large intestine.

Also, the kidneys drain the waste fluid.

What about the gall bladder? Is
its size related to our courage?

The gall bladder secretes
bile to help digest food.

Whether a person is courageous or not

has nothing to do with the
size of his gall bladder.

I only know the human
organs are classified

by yin, yang and the five elements.

They help and fight each other.

Liver belongs to wood. Heart
to fire. Kidneys to water.

That's why if one's liver is
healthy, his heart is strong.

When one's kidneys are
weak, so is his heart.

That's simple and easy to understand.

There's no need to memorize difficult
medical terms in Western medicine.

Your Majesty, what do you hear?

I hear your heart beating very
fast. Are you very nervous?

These two stethoscopes enable us to
listen to the patient's heart and lungs

and find out if there are murmurs.

Then we can diagnose
their condition. Try it.

Breathe hard so I can hear.

OK.

There are murmurs. Have
you been coughing lately?

Yes, I have.

We need to look, smell, ask and feel

to diagnose the illness.

Why follow such an indirect way
by using so-called stethoscopes?

Premier Li Hongzhang believed
in Western medicine too.

But the Western doctor failed to cure him.

If he had come to the
Imperial Hospital in time,

he would have survived.

According to you,

the introduction of Western medicine in

the Imperial Hospital
has been quite smooth.

Yes. The young doctors are
especially eager to learn.

I believe it'll

be completely different
in the Imperial Hospital

once they've acquired more
knowledge in Western medicine.

How generous of you, Officer Yuan.

It's just a small gift.

Congratulations on your
princess getting pregnant.

If she gives birth to a baby
boy, your wish will come true.

I hope so.

This is great news.

Empress Dowager has been considering
the successor to the throne.

Now that your wife is pregnant,
she won't need to fret anymore.

God's will is hard to predict.
It's premature to say that now.

Your Highness is good
at predicting God's will.

I believe God will bless you.

Let's get back to the subject.

I'm sure you came for
business. Please go ahead.

You're really smart. I'll
get to the point then.

I wanted to strengthen
the new army in Tianjin.

I made a request to the government
to purchase some Western ammunition.

The Grand Council approved the funds.

Then I was told the ammunition would
be delivered to your Jianrui Battalion.

Is there some kind of misunderstanding?

I did order for the ammunition to
be delivered to Jianrui Battalion.

Forgive me for being dumb. Why?

The military funds come
from the government.

As long as it's spent properly,

it makes no difference where
the ammunition is delivered.

My Jianrui Battalion is in
charge of the capital's defense.

It has an important duty. So
we must prioritize. Be patient.

When the Grand Council
appropriates funds again,

the new army in Tianjin
will be the first choice.

Your Highness is impartial.
I really admire you.

Ever since Officer Rong Lu's passing,
Empress Dowager has relied heavily on you.

This shows I had foresight

when I persuaded you to marry
Officer Rong Lu's daughter.

I know who my friends and foes are.

After Li Hongzhang died, all
his authority went to you.

If you're not forgetful,

you should remember I
did my best to help you.

Yes... I will never forget your grace.

On behalf of the Royal
family of the Aisin Gioros,

I thank you for your loyalty.

It's my duty to serve the nation
and the emperor. I'm paid to do so.

I will be faithful to the
government whatever the cost.

That's well said.

Sir.

He's so arrogant and ignorant.

Prince Chun really refused to
return the ammunition to us?

They will never get what I can't get.

Miss Ling, Prince Chun has ordered

all the major yamens to do
their best to catch Cui Yugui.

But there's no news of that scumbag.

He still hasn't been found even though
so many people are looking for him.

Does the scumbag know how to be invisible?

Don't try and leave.
You ran into a blind man?

Let go of me. You ran into
me. Don't make trouble.

Cui Yugui.

Stop

Sorry... Stop...

Stop... Stop...

You look decent. I can't
believe you're a rebel.

You look sleazy. I can
tell you're a bad guy.

You're about to die, yet you
still have so much to say.

Talk. How many rebels
are hiding in the capital?

I don't know what you're talking about.

If you're not a rebel, why
were you chasing Cui Yugui?

Who's Cui Yugui? I don't know who he is.

But I know you.

Cui Yugui! So you two
are working together.

It's too late to figure that out now.

You better tell me who your
accomplices are or I'll kill you.

Go ahead and kill me. I won't talk.

You sure have a backbone.
I'll play a game with you then.

You won't talk, right? Then don't
blame me for throwing knives at you.

Your aim is so poor.

That was just a test run.

If you still won't talk, I'm
afraid you won't be so lucky again.

Will you talk or not?

No.

You're digging your own grave...

You really aren't afraid of dying.
It takes time to know a person.

The king is far away.

That's irrelevant.

I couldn't care less.

Uncle Tsat had good judgment.

He's trained a smart and brave
comrade who's not afraid of dying.

You're good too. I was
really fooled by you.

I can't believe you've
taken over Uncle Tsat's job

even though you're so young.

Uncle Tsat was killed. The
organization was worried that

you had turned after you
gained access to the palace

so you double crossed Uncle Tsat
and betrayed the organization.

That's why I had to test
your loyalty just now.

Hope you don't mind.

I understand. So what's your name?

Whatever (sounds like Hsu Bian).

Still, you must have a name.

My name is Hsu Bian as
in Lin Zexu and Bian Que.

My grandfather gave me the
name. It's not a random name.

But why are you with that guy Cui Yugui?

He double crossed Uncle
Tsat and got him killed.

When we heard Uncle Tsat had been killed,

we immediately sent our
men to catch Cui Yugui.

We found him in the end.

So he was caught by the organization.
No wonder I couldn't find him.

Why didn't you kill him
to avenge Uncle Tsat?

I really wanted to kill that
scumbag myself to avenge Uncle Tsat.

But he agreed to work
with the organization

and carry on selling us
intelligence about the palace.

For the sake of the bigger picture, the
organization decided to spare his life.

Cui Yugui is so sleazy.

He will double cross
the organization anytime.

He's not trustworthy.

Don't worry. He's so afraid to die.

I told him that we have
lots of moles in the palace.

It's really easy to take his
life. He won't do anything stupid.

His reputation is tainted now. Can
he go back to the palace that easily?

We have reliable Intel that

some ammunition was delivered to
Prince Chun's Jianrui Battalion.

We're going to take the ammunition.

Is the Intel reliable?

It came from Yuan Shikai's
camp. It's absolutely reliable.

We will make use of this to help
Cui Yugui get back to the palace.

This kills two birds with one stone.

I have a request. After
I've completed this mission,

I hope the organization will
transfer me out of the capital.

Understood. So much has happened.

It's good for you to get
out of here for a while.

After we've got the ammunition,

we'll need someone to
escort it to Guangzhou.

You will be assigned this job.

After you get to Guangzhou, you can
prepare for another underground mission.

What a coincidence?

You're going to do a
checkup for Empress Dowager?

Princess Wojia told me that you're
leaving the capital for Guangzhou.

Yes. I came to the palace today

to say goodbye to the two consorts.

When are you leaving?

Tomorrow at noon.

First I'm going to
take a train to Tianjin.

Then I'll take a boat to Guangzhou.

After I leave, you must
take good care of Pak-hop.

I think I'll settle down in Guangzhou
for good. Take care. You too.

Dr To, how's the baby?

Don't worry. Mother
and baby are both fine.

I will prescribe some replenishing
medicine to stabilize the embryo.

Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?

I'm sorry. I can't tell the sex of
the baby just by checking the pulse.

Your Highness.

I told you not to disturb me.

But Cui Yugui suddenly showed up
in the mansion. He wants to see you.

Cui Yugui?

I'm loyal to the emperor.
I love the country.

I was set up by some bad
guys so I had to flee.

I'm wanted by Your Highness.
The rebels want to kill me too.

Cut the crap.

I've got some reliable Intel.
It's really important to you.

If you find it useful after you hear it,
please speak to Empress Dowager for me.

I can't believe you're so ambitious.
You still want to serve Empress Dowager?

I've been loyal to her all along.

I don't crave credit. I
just want a place to stay.

If your Intel is really useful, I will
plead for you with Empress Dowager.

Thank you.

I heard the rebels are going
to rob your Tai Hang Warehouse

of the ammunition that's
being stored there.

Really?

Absolutely.

When are the rebels going to do this?

They should have arrived at
Tai Hang Warehouse already.

Slave. Why didn't you
come inform me earlier?

I just heard about it. I immediately
came to inform Your Highness.

Please hurry to Tai Hang
Warehouse in the suburb.

First I'm going to
take a train to Tianjin.

Then I'll take a boat to Guangzhou.

There's no train going to Tianjin today.

Mister, can you run faster please?

I'll do my best.

Hurry.

Are you OK?

I'm fine.

Come in. Carry the ammunition out. Move.

Mister, how far is it?

Be patient. We're almost there.

What's the place up
ahead that just exploded?

That's the warehouse you're going to.

Thank God we weren't there
yet or we'd be blown to bits.

Your Highness, everything inside
including the ammunition has been burnt.

This is outrageous. Anyone alive?

No. There are only eight burnt bodies.
Four are wearing guard uniforms.

The other four could be the
rebels who came to rob the place.

It's highly likely that

the accident happened when the
rebels came to grab the ammunition.

They caused the explosion and
they all died right then and there.

It's a shame that all the
ammunition's been destroyed.

But it's better than having it taken
by the rebels. It's a consolation.

Just now the guards from
Prince Chun's Mansion said

there were men and women among the rebels.

Are you serious? Female rebels?
It serves them right to get killed.

Right.

My mom left it to me.

She said the jade pendant
would keep me safe.

She told me to carry it until I
found the one's who's meant to for me.

Just now the guards from
Prince Chun's Mansion said

there were men and women among the rebels.

Are you serious? Female rebels?
It serves them right to get killed.

Right.

Pak-hop, was everything at the clinic
OK when you went to help out today?

I think I'm too clumsy. I
can't remember all the herbs.

Relax. Don't put pressure on yourself.

I can't help it. Leung Tsai
Tsan Clinic is Dad's baby.

I must keep running it no
matter how hard it gets.

Too bad I'm really busy with
work in the Imperial Hospital.

I don't have time to
help you in the clinic.

Wai-Shan, how can you say that?

His Majesty has assigned to you

the important task of carrying out
reforms in the Imperial Hospital.

How could you let him down?

Thank you for your understanding.

We're husband and wife.
Do you need to say thanks?

Come in.

Dr To, the medicine is almost
ready. Shall I put out the fire?

Let me check.

Mrs. To, Dr To cares about you so much.

He tells us every time
we prepare the medicine

how much water to put in
and how long to boil it.

He even pours the medicine for
you himself when it's ready.

Wai-Shan is thoughtful and considerate.

Since that woman left the capital,

you and Dr To finally get
to live a peaceful life.

Even though I can't keep his heart,
I hope I can keep him by my side.

As long as Wai-Shan stays with
me, it doesn't matter what happens.

Is the baby normal?

Don't worry. Its heartbeat
is strong and forceful.

That means it's perfectly normal.
Also, the princess's health...

That's great.

Dr To, can you really hear the
baby's heartbeat with the stethoscope?

Sure. You can try.

I can really hear it.

It keeps kicking me. It's really naughty.

Your Highness, you're eight
months pregnant already.

It's normal for the baby
moves from time to time.

It's also time for it to turn

so that its head faces downwards and
its feet upwards to facilitate delivery.

By the way Youlan, you've
gained so much weight.

You're really a plump princess now.

I can't help it. His Highness tells people

to make me so much
replenishing food every day.

So of course I've gained weight.

You're carrying the
descendant of the Aisin Gioros.

Of course I must do my best.

It's the eighth month of pregnancy now.
Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?

I really can't tell. Let God decide.

I say it's better to have a girl like
Youlan who shows a dimple when she smiles.

That's so sweet.

I say it's better to have a son like
His Highness who's smart and strong.

Of course. It's always good to have a son.

Youlan, you must eat more.

Then you can give birth to a
chubby baby for Prince Chun.

Thank you. I've already eaten a lot.

Your Royal Highness,

please try this cup of tea with
milk I prepared for you myself.

I learned to make that from a chef
who works in the British legation.

The tea is really much smoother with
milk in it. You guys should try it.

Eunuch Gui is really
amazing. You left for a while.

Now you've come back to the palace to
carry on serving Her Royal Highness.

I never forgot Her Royal Highness's
teaching when I was out there.

As long as I am able to return
to serve Her Royal Highness,

I will do my best.

Guizi, you must wise up.

If Prince Chun hadn't pleaded for you,

I wouldn't have let you
come back to the palace.

I'm really so grateful
to Your Royal Highness.

Cut the crap. Serve the other consorts.

Yes.

Youlan, have you finished the bird's nest

that I asked people to deliver
to Prince Chun's Mansion?

There's some left.

Lizi.

Yes.

Send someone to deliver

another five catties of bird's
nest to Prince Chun's Mansion.

Yes, Your Royal Highness.

Your tummy is so big now.

Be careful of the stairs when you go to
Manjushri Temple later with the consorts.

Return to the mansion and rest
after you get the safety charm.

Wait for the labor to happen.
Don't go anywhere else, OK?

OK.

Have you noticed Youlan's belly?

Yes. She's so petite. I can't
believe her belly can be so big.

That's not what I meant. Did you
notice that her belly's a bit pointy?

You think her belly's pointy?

I heard the grannies say
that if the belly's pointy,

it's very likely to be a son.

Now that Her Royal Highness favors
Prince Chun and Youlan so much.

I'm worry that the incident
with Zaiyi will happen again.

You mean Empress Dowager might nominate
Youlan's son to be the Big Brother?

That's very likely.

Even so, what can we do about
it? We don't have a baby.

Youlan, you're so amazing.

You're having a baby
for Prince Chun already

You've even made Empress Dowager so happy.

She's just happy because I'm pregnant.

You do have a clear idea of your status.

Prince Chun agreed to marry you to give
face to your dad and Empress Dowager.

On the one hand, he could
make Empress Dowager happy.

On the other hand, he could succeed
to your dad's position and authority.

Better that my husband,
rather than someone

else, get my dad's position and power.

I hope you can really
have a son for Prince Chun.

Then he'll favor you because of your son.

If I don't have a son this
time, there's always next time.

I'm young. I have plenty of time.

True. Even if you don't
have a son for Prince Chun,

he can always marry a concubine
and make her carry a son for him.

It's common for His Highness to
have many wives and concubines.

Most important is that
I'm the official wife

I'm his princess. No
one can take my place.

I can't believe you're so magnanimous
even though you're so young.

I just accept my fate.

The baby kicked me again.
It's really naughty.

Ever since Noble Consort Hui passed away,

you've had fewer friends
to keep you company

You must be so lonely.

When the baby's born,
you'll be a grandmother.

Then you can enjoy looking after the baby.

This is great.

I got an excellent divination
stick for His Highness.

The oracle even says I will have a
son. His Highness will be so happy.
