The Blooms at RUYI Pavilion

Episode 29

Duke Su's concubine has
been sent to prison.

If you think there's injustice,

please speak to His Majesty.

You're here, Little Marquis.

Have you seen Rong'er?

The warden said

His Majesty had decreed that

no one is allowed to visit
the Concubine Rong.

I've spent some money

to have the clothes you handed me
sent to her.

What about Duke Su?

Don't worry.

His Highness returned yesterday.

He should be in the palace by now

I guess there'll be some news.

You're looking distracted today, brother.

Although

I don't like Duke Su's concubine,

but I can see

she's not so foolish

to set her eyes on the palace's things.

Besides, the crime was sloppily done.

If someone plans to set Duke Su's
concubine up

on purpose,

what could their motives be?

Jin'er has been investigating

the corrupted officials after he
returned to the palace.

Someone may have a grudge against him.

You mean

they had it in for Duke Su?

Unfortunately,

Fu Rong is only the daughter of the
Hengjing County Magistrate.

She isn't powerful.

That's why they used her to get to Jin'er

I understand your dilemma.

If she's from a noble family,

even if they wanted to harm her,

they would have to think twice.

It's just that Duke Su is affectionate
to his concubine.

And your effort to find him a wife

has been fruitless.

It's been a huge headache for me.

As long as Fu Rong and
Jin'er are together,

Jin'er will never find a wife.

It seems

she's becoming Jin'er's weakness.

In my opinion,

why don't you take the opportunity

to break them apart?

Do you think

Jin'er will agree to a divorce?

I think

Duke Su will never agree.

But you can try his concubine.

Concubine Rong will agree

to protect her life

and Duke Su's.

Sir, Duke Su is here.

Your Majesty,

Duke Su is here.

He's in the royal study.

Shang Yang Gate

Father.

I'm here to plead guilty.

What are you guilty for?

I heard Rong'er pocketed the
materials from the palace.

If that's true,

I have failed to keep my wife in check.

I'm guilty.

But Father,

is there sufficient evidence?

Attendant Chen accused Fu Rong
of embezzlement

using the handover document as evidence.

What?

Do you think it's not enough?

Were the materials recovered?

I heard

they went through Ruyi Pavilion

but found nothing inside.

There's more to the case
than meets the eye.

Please investigate closely.

How audacious.

All the evidence is here.

You think you can deny it that easily?

I wouldn't dare.

But after spending so much time
with Rong'er,

I know she's a good person.

Please give me seven days.

In seven days,

I will come back to you with an answer.

If I fail you,

I shall remain by the late Empress' grave

and never come back.

You...

Very well.

I'll give you seven days.

Thank you, Father.

Fu Residence

Sister, let's fly a kite!

What's wrong?

Guan Ge,

you're back from school?

What did the teacher teach you today?

Miss,

Little Marquis is here.

He's waiting at the door.
Something urgent, he says.

Xuan'er,

go see what it's about.

It must be news from Duke Su.

-Little Marquis.
-Ms Fu.

His Highness has spoken to the Emperor.

He has seven days

to clear Concubine Rong's name.

Is that so?

That's wonderful.

But is seven days enough?

It's a complicated case.

Seven days is a little tight.

But I don't think the Emperor

would allow him any more time.

In any case,

have faith in him.

Thank you, Little Marquis.

And Duke Su.

Don't you and your parents worry too much.

If anything comes up,

I'll let you know at once.

Okay.

Go back now.

Emperor's orders.

Your Highness, you can't...

I know.

Just pass this along to Concubine Rong.

Sure.

Your Highness,

Duke Su asked me to bring you some food.

What did he say?

He didn't say anything.

Liangpin Snack Store

Don't worry.

I'll take care of everything.

You may be in prison,

but don't forget to eat and drink.

Duke Su's Residence

My lady and I have confirmed it
many times.

It was crafted according

to the bill of materials
Attendant Chen gave us.

How could there be extra material?

That means

the problem lies in the documents.

But my lady verified it herself.

There were no problems.

Where does Rong'er usually
keep the documents?

In a hidden place on the second floor.

Only my lady, Ms Fu Xuan

and I know the exact spot.

It was untouched until those people

from the palace came the other day.

So you're saying

the problem only occurred
after those people

took the document?

Could it be that

the Criminal Investigation Bureau
had tampered with it?

Your Highness.

The bureau has close ties with Duke Cheng.

If there was indeed foul play,

it'd be difficult to find proof.

There's one more person.

Attendant Chen,

Duke Su is here.

Greetings, Your Highness.

What brings you here today, Your Highness?

I hear you're the one

who accused Fu Rong of embezzlement.

You even had written proof.

Your Highness,

I was only telling the truth.

Telling the truth?

That's strange.

Fu Rong insisted that

the figures on the handover document
were dubious.

Shouldn't you ask her about it instead?

Do you have the handover document?

Your Highness,

the evidence

has been handed over to the
Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Fu Rong is my concubine.

If I find out anyone had lied,

I won't forgive him or her.

I wouldn't dare.

Thanks to my quick thinking

and tight lips,

nothing was revealed.

Your Highness,

aren't I

loyal to you?

But why did Duke Su

suspect you out of the blue?

About that, I have no idea.

By his tone of voice,

he was set on interrogating me.

But nothing came of it,

so he left disappointed.

Attendant Chen,

you've handled it well.

If Duke Su comes to see you again...

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Even if he comes a thousand times,

he wouldn't get a word out of me.

When it comes to your loyalty,

I have no doubts.

Huan Yun.

Take Attendant Chen downstairs.

Give her my Linglong Jade Pendant

-as a reward.
-Yes.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Long live Your Highness.

Duke Su is something else.

To think he actually came
to Attendant Chen.

I don't think

she'd dare say anything foolish.

Zhu'er.

What do you think?

Even so,

Duke Su has taken the investigation

to Attendant Chen.

She's a risk.

You have a point.

It's better to be safe than sorry.

After all, only the dead
can keep a secret.

A few days from now,

I will send Attendant Chen out

on an errand.

Once she's out of the palace...

Mao'er,

the rest of it...

You can count on me.

Don't kill me.

Don't kill me.

Please, I beg you. Don't kill me.

Thank god you came in the nick of time.

Or I'd have been...

You're just a little ornament attendant.

Who could've wanted you dead?

This address was written by Consort Duan.

Why would she do this?

I was so devoted to her.

At this point,

if you don't tell us the truth,

not even His Highness can protect you.

Your Highness,

my life is in your hands.

I'll tell you everything I know.

The handover document.

What did you people do to it?

As soon as the materials had left
the palace's storehouse,

Consort Duan seized it.

Afterward,

I used an ink made of citrus

and amended the figures
on both documents,

making it impossible for Concubine Rong

to detect the discrepancy.

Once she had verified it,

I brought the documents

back to the palace

heated them over a flame,

causing the citrus ink to fade.

Then, I wrote the correct figures
back on the document.

What about Ruyi Pavilion?

Since it was a public case,

and it involved your concubine,

the Emperor would certainly send his men

to Ruyi Pavilion to retrieve the document
as evidence.

That was when Duke Cheng's lackeys
at the bureau made the switch.

And where are the materials

that were seized?

I don't know the exact location.

But I vaguely heard that the materials

was transported by Duke Cheng

to Weiyang City in Linzhou.

And?

Your Highness, I've told you
everything I know.

There's nothing more.

Your Highness, what do
you intend to do with me?

Attendant Chen, you stay here for now.

We've posted our men outside
to protect you.

You're an important witness.

Remember, don't ever go out by yourself.

Thank you, Mr Ge.

Protect me?

I'm guilty of perjury.

On top of that, Consort Duan and
Duke Cheng are waiting to kill me.

How can a mere duke

protect me?

Good thing

you acted quickly, Mao'er.

Or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Nevertheless,

Attendant Chen had crossed paths
with Xu Jin.

Xu Jin must know a thing or two
about our secret.

Even if Attendant Chen
told Duke Su the truth,

she's dead now.

Duke Su has no proof.

He can't close the case.

As long as Duke Cheng

takes good care of the materials,

no matter how capable Duke Su is,

he can't do anything.

Mao'er.

Have you kept the palace's
materials well hidden?

Rest assured, Mother.

I have stashed them away properly.

Nothing will go wrong.

I have yet to settle the score Xu Jin

for what happened to Uncle.

Well, then.

I'll square it with him once and for all.

Your Highness, this body
was found this morning.

Take a look. Is this the
one you're looking for?

Attendant Chen is dead now.

We have no one to
corroborate the documents.

The only way

is to find the palace's materials.

Mr Ge.

Stay back at the capital.

-Report anything important to me.
-You got it.

Xu Jia, come to Weiyang City with me.

Yes, Your Highness.

From the Criminal Investigation Bureau

Attendant Chen is dead?

Now it's even harder to acquit

Concubine Rong of her crime.

Maybe it's for the best.

Are you thinking

of using this as an excuse

to break Duke Su and Concubine Rong apart?

Duke Su.

If only he could have a capable wife

like Wan'er.

Where is Duke Su now?

I heard he went to Weiyang City.

Weiyang City?

Isn't that Yuan Bin's jurisdiction?

Precisely.

Wang Xin.

At your service.

If Wan'er asks you about
Duke Su's whereabouts,

feel free to point her
in the right direction.

You mean...

I understand.

Come. Let's take a trip to the
Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Yes.

Criminal Investigation Bureau

The stamp on the document
did belong to Ruyi Pavilion.

There were no signs that its contents
have been amended.

What if

it was the ink?

But how do I go about investigating it?

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Get up.

Duke Su came to see me two days ago.

He asked for a grace period of seven days

to prove your innocence.

If he fails,

he'll remain by the late Empress' grave,

never to return to the capital.

His Highness was probably confused.

One does not break his word
with the Emperor.

Even so,

God is merciful.

I'm sure allowances can be made.

Although I'm innocent,

seven days is too close for comfort.

Too close?

Did you know

Attendant Chen died?

It's almost impossible
to prove your innocence now.

If no proof is found

after seven days,

I'd have no choice but to
send him to his mother's grave.

Please no, Your Majesty.

Fu Rong.

Did you ever think

why misfortune kept following you?

Is it your misfortune?

Or Jin'er's?

Jin'er had nothing in the capital.

Yet he rolled up his sleeves

to help me root out corruption
in the court.

But because of you,

he acted foolishly time and again.

His enemies

used this to their advantage.

Eventually,

you will be his demise.

I understand.

Everything you're doing

is in His Highness' interest.

I suppose you're here today

because you have figured out a solution.

Please enlighten me.

You may not be able to save Ruyi Pavilion.

But you can save Duke Su.

It's very simple.

Just divorce him.

You have the night to think about it.

I await your answer.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of everything.

You may be in prison,

but don't forget to eat and drink.

My thoughts go in circles

like the coiling of an intestine.

I bought you your favourite Ruyi Dates.

Let their sweetness overcome
your bitterness.

Rong'er.

Trust me.

Wait for me.

Guards.

Divorce Letter

All marriages

are rooted in fate.

When a couple first fell in love,

their hearts were bound to flutter,

and their love, harmonious.

However, as they drift apart,

their love becomes discordant.

Rather mutual suffering

and endless scorn,

why not free each other of this bond,

going separate ways

toward their respective happiness?

Criminal Investigation Bureau

-Concubine Rong.
-Concubine Rong.

When did you guys come back
to the capital?

Where have you been?

We went out on a trip.

When we came back,

we heard you were imprisoned.

Are you alright, Concubine Rong?

Call me Ms Fu.

What happened?

It's a long story.

I may be free now,

but Ruyi Pavilion
is still being impounded.

The truth will come to light one day.

Ruyi Pavilion was Ms Liu's
sweat and blood.

We'll help you get to the bottom of this.

Once the truth is out,

Ruyi Pavilion's name will be cleared

and it will open once again.

Miss, what is your plan?

We'll help you.

My lady, you're free.

I take it Duke Su managed
to prove your innocence?

My lady, you tore off
the impoundment tape.

If the authorities know about this,

you'll get into trouble again.

It's okay.

The Emperor said I could do it.

Let me pack my things.

We're leaving.

Since the Criminal Investigation Bureau
ransacked this place,

many items have been lost.

If we want to restore it
to its former glory,

it might take some work.

My lady,

there's something strange

about you today.

What happened, really?

Nothing.

It's all in the past.

I'll prove my own innocence soon enough.

All by yourself?

What about Duke Su?

Yuan,

from now on,

Duke Su and I are no longer related.

Don't bring him up again.

What's going on?

You should go.

The Emperor only allowed me to come here.

If you're seen here,

the bureau might make a stink about it.

Sure.

This is the first hairpin
I've ever made.

The owner of the copperware
shop even asked me

who it's for.

I said

it's for my wife.

But it looks like

she doesn't like it very much.

-Never mind. Let's melt it.
-No, no.

I like it so much.

It's so exquisite.

I'm glad you like it, dear.

Princess, Fu Rong has signed
the divorce letter.

She did?

Absolutely.

The Emperor released her
the moment she signed it.

Aren't you happy, Princess?

Why wouldn't I be?

That Fu Rong. I knew she wasn't

cut out to be Duke Su's wife.

Duke Su risked his life for her.

To think she'd divorce him

to save her own skin.

Well...

No.

Who did you hear it from?

Everyone's talking about it.

You can't simply believe in gossip.

No, I must get hear it straight
from Eunuch Wang.

Eunuch Wang!

-Princess.
-Eunuch Wang.

Tell me,

did Fu Rong really sign
the divorce letter?

That's right.

Stupid Fu Rong.

Duke Su must've been blind...

What seems to be the problem?

Now that she's free,

what if she tries to gain
Duke Su's sympathy?

What if Duke Su runs away with her

in the heat of the moment?

Princess, listen to you.

Duke Su is miles away in Weiyang City.

How could he run away with Ms Fu?

Thanks, Eunuch Wang.

That's all.

You may go now.

Have a good day, Princess.

Since Fu Rong doesn't cherish her man,

then I'll move in for the kill.

Weiyang City...

Aren't I smart?

I found out about Duke Su's

whereabouts just like that.

Let's go.

Okay.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

I ran into the Princess of Xihe just now.

She has found out

about Duke Su and
Concubine Rong's divorce.

What was her reaction?

I clued her in on the fact

that Duke Su is in Weiyang City.

Judging by her expression,

I'd say she's well on her way
to find him by now.

That's good to hear.

Ju Shui Pavilion

Young master.

Ms Fu had signed the divorce letter

-and gotten out of prison.
-Great.

But Ms Gu wrote to us that

Ms Fu is off to Weiyang City.

Apparently, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba
paid a visit to Ruyi Pavilion.

They must've told her.

Scour the city for Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba.

We're going to Weiyang City.

Yes.

Step right up, step right up.

Tianyun Gambling Den

Gamble

-Small, small!
-Big, big!

I won! Cough it up!

One more round.

Cough up the money.

-Big, big!
-Small, small!

Go, go.

Sir, if you please.

-Big.
-Small, small!

Place your bets, place your bets!

Sir, you don't seem

to be from around these parts.

You are?

If you don't mind,

you may call me Mr Demon.

You don't seem to be having
a good time here.

Then again,

gambling dens aren't that fun
to begin with.

May I interest you in something else?

Such as?

Women?

Count me out.

Perhaps you're still new here

and uninitiated.

Here in Weiyang,

there's a ghost market.

It's where the rich people

go to shop

for jade wares, jewellery, antiques,
things like that.

Ghost market?

It's unlike any ghost market
you've ever seen.

You can find the rarest treasures there.

You name it, it has it.

Then there's the stuff

you won't find in the open market.

It does sound interesting.

Sir, if you please.

Big.

Small, small!

If you're interested...

Duke Su.

Princess of Xihe.

Why are you here?

Duke Su.

It's only been a few days,

and you've become so thin.

You must've made a mistake.

Duke Su, where are you going?

I have many scrolls to review.

Have lunch without me.

Duke Su!

Because of Fu Rong's case,

you wouldn't even eat.

You're so sincere towards Fu Rong.

But did you ever consider

if your sincerity is worthwhile?

Rong'er is my concubine.

There's no such thing as "worthwhile".

But she's no longer your concubine.

Princess.

Watch what you say.

In order to save herself,

Fu Rong signed a divorce letter

and waltzed right out of the prison.

If you don't believe me...

I don't need to lie.

Rong'er doesn't need to do that either.

Duke Su!

Open your eyes.

What's the point in investigating?

Fine. I admit it.

She has her strengths.

But you two are not right
for each other.

She'll only be a burden to you.

Duke Su,

stop living in denial.

Xu Jia.

The Princess is cranky.

-Escort her to her room.
-Yes.

I won't go!

Announcing, Eunuch Su!

Your Highness, I'm here to convey
His Majesty's decree.

Here's you and Concubine Rong's
divorce letter.
