Court Lady

Ep30

Please.

This is your room.

Thank you.

Chumu.

How can we afford to live in the inn?

Don't worry.

You've got me here.

Wait here for me.

I will be right back.

Chop all of the woods

and then stack them up.

That's a lot.

After you finish this,

move those two big stones to the front door.

I'll let you stay here for free

and also give you a tael.

All right.

Get to your work now.

What are you doing?

I want to...

Your hands are not for stacking up the woods.

What about your hands?

Are they for chopping woods?

I am your husband.

Maybe not now. But I will be.

Go back inside.

I will be back after I finish my work.

Go. Just go.

Go wait for me in the room.

Why hasn't he come back yet?

It's already so late.

Sister, it just happened that

we had a letter which needs to be sent to the troop.

So, General Xiao sent Hanxing to do it.

It wouldn't take him more than a day, would it?

A day?

It will take him about three to four months

to send the letter to the border and get back.

Three to four months?

Why did they have to send him?

Sister,

Hanxing is honest and reliable.

For important matters in the military,

he is the only person General Xiao trusts.

Sister,

you won't be upset about it, will you?

No.

I am not upset.

It is an honor for him to contribute to the country.

It's just I haven't seen him for a long time

and I miss him.

When I was watching the performance and listening to the music,

I thought I heard him calling me.

Sure.

Sister, you are truly sensible and generous.

Please.

The Auspicious Inn

Rou!

Chumu.

Come and sit here.

What...what wine is this?

What do you think?

I thought you didn't want to have a wedding so soon.

I used to think that

a wedding must be lively with a lot of people,

such as our parents and other families.

Or, I would regret it my whole life.

What about now?

Now I have changed my mind.

Now, I think as long as I am with the right person,

I won't have any regrets.

Chumu.

Chumu,

will you be my husband?

Why are you always leading me by the nose?

Do you think I'd say yes

just because you asked me?

So, is that a no?

Then, I won't force you.

I will be your husband.

Can we drink the wedding wine now?

Chumu,

I also asked the innholder to prepare some longan and dates...

Put me down.

-Let me see... -Chumu.

You should follow the rules and do it step by step.

I am the groom.

We should follow my rules.

Come on,

call me your husband.

That's embarrassing.

I won't.

You won't?

I'll do it.

My wife.

Let me kiss my wife!

Keep it down!

I am speechless

about your elder brother.

One minute he wanted to be a monk,

and the next minute, he wanted to be a woman.

One minute he was said to be dead in a battle,

and then he came back alive.

Now, bam!

He is missing.

Is the geomantic omen

in your mansion just terrible?

It could be.

It's doing my head in.

I don't know what to do.

I have a solution.

What is it?

Don't you think when we are down on our luck,

we need something good to get rid of the bad luck?

You want to rid the Duke's mansion

of bad luck with the daughter of His Majesty?

That wouldn't clear off the bad luck but only bring us doom.

I know that you really want to marry me.

But you can't get carried away by the idea.

Who wants to marry you?

All right. All right.

It's been a hard time for me lately.

I only feel better

when I see you.

Really?

Of course. Have I ever lied to you?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

The guards are here! The guards!

Let's go! Your Highness! Hurry!

What did she just say?

She said, "The guards are here, Your Highness."

The guards?

The guards?

Let's go! Come on!

Hurry up, Your Highness!

Go! Let's go! Hurry up!

Who's over there?

Go, just go.

Go!

Your Highness. Princess Xinnan.

Consort Yan and the Princess are enjoying the full moon and inditing poems.

Now that you are here making such noise,

how are they going to enjoy it anymore?

Why are you still here?

Understood.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Don't mention it.

I don't poke my nose into others' business.

Tonight, aside from Xinnan and Zhenzhu,

I didn't see anyone else.

Let's go.

Yes.

Luckily, it was Consort Yan.

If it was Her Majesty,

I would be dead now.

What did you say about my mother?

This is all your fault!

You said the garden is secluded and exciting.

How exciting! We got caught right away!

In my view, the bad luck

has been passed on to you from your elder brother.

Don't give me that look.

Don't you say that about my brother!

I just want to.

No, you can't.

I will.

-I will. -You can't.

-I just want to say it. -I forbid you.

Sheng Chuling, do not talk back to me!

I'm sorry! My fault!

Are you all right?

I am fine.

Thank you.

I am here to see Qi.

You are his maid, Yin, aren't you?

Young Master is still sleeping.

I'll tell him that you are here in a moment...

Don't bother.

It is nothing important. Don't wake him up.

Understood.

You should be two or three months pregnant?

Qi is a reliable man.

Now that he wants you to have his child,

it means he really likes you a lot.

Do you know him very well?

I watched him grow up.

When he was little,

he often fought with the Niu brothers next door.

He would fight the three of them on his own

and come home covered with wounds.

I was always worried about him and gave him dressings every day.

I even feared that he wouldn't be able to walk long distances when he grew up.

So, he used to be such a naughty boy.

He just wouldn't tolerate injustice.

If anyone dared to call him a motherless brat,

he would fight with them.

If anyone dared to bully Yingying,

he would go even further

and make them apologize on their knees.

With such a temper,

no wonder that he became a general after he grew up.

My Hanxing is not as praiseworthy as him.

Young Master Hanxing is your...

He is my son.

You must see him a lot in the mansion.

Has he grown stronger or thinner?

Has he grown taller?

Look at me.

Blabbering on and on.

I will know when he gets back.

What is that on your clothes?

-I am not the murderer... -It was not him!

-It was not him! -It was Lu Qi!

It was not him!

Mother!

Mother!

You don't deserve to say that word.

It was not him.

How come it looks like blood?

My nose bled last night.

The blood got on her clothes by accident.

Aunt.

I am sorry.

I was not well last night

and didn't go to welcome you.

What are you talking about?

You, Yingying, and Hanxing

never cared about the manners when you were little

fighting over a cake on the table.

That was a long time ago,

and you are still teasing me about it.

You are pregnant with Qi's child.

As a parent in the family, I prepared a gift for you.

This bracelet

was meant to be given to the bride of Hanxing.

But his uncle told me that the engagement was called off.

And you're here.

Here, I'll give it to you.

I wish you and Qi to live a happy life ever after.

I...I can't take this.

Aunt,

you should keep it to yourself.

You don't need to give it to her.

I watched you and Yingying grow up.

You two are like my own children.

I want Yin to have this.

When Hanxing gets married in the future,

of course, I'll prepare something else for him.

Just take it.

I...

I would be upset if you don't.

Then, you should take it.

Thank you, my lady.

You should call me aunt.

Aunt.

From this day on,

we are husband and wife.

I've made up my mind.

From now on, I will get off

my high horse as the Duke's son

and work diligently

to take care of you and our family.

That's all

you have thought about?

You are right.

We can't hide forever.

We can't keep your parents worried about us.

I will think of a way

for us to be together forever

and reunite with our families.

You just have to give me some time.

Before that,

let's find a place

to settle down first, shall we?

Sure.

All right. You promised.

Before that,

don't clamor to go back to Chang'an anymore.

More importantly, don't leave me.

You are the one who lost your temper

and ran away without me yesterday.

If I hadn't scared you like that,

would you have had the wedding wine with me?

I am still annoyed with Yan Zifang.

I...

Sheng Chumu!

This is our first day as a married couple.

Do you want to argue with me?

How could I do that?

Are you hungry?

I can ask them to prepare some food.

You worked so hard yesterday

and just made a little money.

Let's not waste it on food.

We can just eat some buns.

No way.

Today is our first day as a couple!

How can we only eat some buns?

I'll go get some dessert for you.

Rou.

You genuinely want to be with me, don't you?

Of course.

Now that we are husband and wife,

don't you ever leave me!

What is it with you?

I am worried that if I leave you here,

you'll go back to Chang'an without me.

I will never do that.

You are worrying about everything.

Yeah.

I am worried.

'Cause you're my everything.

My darling,

I'll go get some food for you.

Wait here for me.

Give me a kiss.

Wait for me.

Sir,

thank you for lending me these yesterday.

I didn't do it for free.

Take these.

Your husband

went to the pastry shop in the west of the town.

You can patch these clothes.

Make sure they are well mended.

You can trust me.

Hurry up!

Search the place!

Have you seen the remnant conspirators of Hong Yide?

Wanted

No, I haven't.

No, not at all.

I work for the famous Hong Yide,

how about that?

-Oh no! -Search the upstairs carefully!

We have shelled pine nuts in boxes as well.

Do you also want some of that?

Or, maybe you can...

Get me a box of shelled pine nuts as well.

All right.

There you are.

20 coins in total.

Here.

Take these.

Thank you.

Stop there.

Have you seen this man?

It seems that...

Have a look.

Take a closer look.

Rou, we need to hurry up and...

Rou!

Sir, have you seen my wife?

She left in a rush just now.

Get on your knees!

I'm not guilty! I'm not!

You're carrying weapons with you.

You must be in cahoot with Hong Yide.

The ax...the ax is only for chopping woods!

Take him back.

-Yes. -Let's go!

Come on!

You made a mistake!

Why did they arrest him?

Come on! Get out of our way!

You can't do this!

Let go of my husband!

-Let go of him! -Let me go!

You let my husband go!

-It's my elder sister. -Get off!

Come on!

You can't just take me away!

Get off!

You can't do this!

Just let my husband go!

Dear! My dear!

-Get off! -Let go of him!

Let go of him!

Get off!

Sister...

My dear!

He is innocent!

Let him go! I beg you!

He is innocent!

Xu Youtong,

how dare you collude with the rebels?

Do you plead guilty?

I am not guilty!

Not guilty?

Then, why did you stand in our way when my men were searching for the rebels?

Those officers arrested people at random.

All of those arrested are innocent, in fact.

Nonsense!

You are obviously the cahoot of Hong Yide!

Take my order!

Torture him!

Yes!

Chumu,

they are officers.

We will be exposed if they recognize us.

Now that we are husband and wife,

don't you ever leave me!

I am wronged!

Stop it!

Stop!

Just stop it!

All my husband did

was defending the civilians.

You couldn't catch the rebels,

so you want to torture him into confessing to false charges.

How dare you! Cane both of them hard!

Don't you dare!

My sister Fu Rou is Directress of the Communications Office.

If you do this,

don't you fear that His Majesty would find it out?

Your sister is Fu Rou?

Yes, she is.

It's true that she was Her Majesty's favorite.

However, it is a pity

that she is already dead!

What did you say?

You stupid!

Why do you think I need to capture the remnants of Hong Yide's cohort?

Because they committed serious crimes in Chang'an

and killed a lot of people.

On the casualty list I received,

there is a court lady named Fu.

It's not true.

How dare you threaten me with a dead man?

You idiot!

Cane them! Hard!

I am wronged!

-It's not true! -I am not guilty!

Let go of me! Get off!

Stop it!

Rou!

Sister!

How dare you! Why don't you kneel in front of me!

I am in charge of the Communications Office in the Palace.

I am a sixth-rank court lady.

I don't need to kneel before you.

I thought you were dead?

You must be an imposter!

This is my nameplate.

You'll know after you check it.

You are indeed a court lady!

Then, please

release Magistrate Xu and his wife.

Why should I do that?

You say that Magistrate Xu colluded with the rebels.

But you don't have any witnesses or evidence.

It is a groundless charge.

Why wouldn't you release them?

As far as I know,

the Directress of the Communications Office manages the messages and reports in the Palace.

I didn't know you also handle cases?

What?

Get rid of Xu Youtong of Guangzhi county?

Because of Fu Rou, Duke of Cai's Mansion

was disgraced in the imperial martial arts competition

and lost a large sum of money.

Xu Youtong is married to her sister.

Can we let him off?

We'll put the blame of this Hong Yide case

on Xu Youtong.

At the same time, General Lu can vent some anger.

Apart from that,

your brother-in-law, the county deputy governor,

can also get a promotion.

One stone, three birds.

Brilliant!

It's brilliant!

How dare a court lady

meddle in the case handling of a county?

You should leave!

Put this treacherous couple to torture!

Understood!

-I am innocent! -Rou!

-Sister! -I am not guilty!

We are innocent!

Rou!

Let go of me!

You can't do this!

-Sister! -Get off!

-I am wronged! -Rou!

Stop it!

You put government officials to torture arbitrarily.

This is against the Tang Code.

Hong Yide's case is not a trivial matter.

I've already obtained the warrant given by King Zhou.

-King Zhou? -I can act as I see fit.

It is truly written by King Zhou himself.

How about that?

Now you can't argue with me.

Cane them!

Wait!

Let's see what else

you have got that can clamp down my power.

She has got me!

Is that enough?

Your...Your Highness!

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Luckily, I decided to

have a look at Hong Yide's hometown.

Otherwise, I would have missed such a show.

Fan Ligui,

I told you to act as you see fit,

not to torture people into confessing to false charges.

I...

This is...

-Your Highness. -Take my order.

Yes.

Take him away.

Yes.

Your Highness!

I only did what you ordered me to!

I only did what you ordered me to!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Mercy! Your Highness!

Your Highness.

I beg for mercy! Your Highness!

Thank you for saving us, Your Highness.

I have heard so much about your sagacity...

Your Highness!

Do you know why I came here?

Because

this is the hometown of Hong Yide.

Because this is your hometown.

I thought

if I couldn't see you again,

at least I could have a look

at the place where you grew up.

I want to see what is so special

about this place

that makes you so unforgettable.

That's over the line, Your Highness.

It's not over the line that you came back to life.

And I am over the line?

I...

Your Highness.

Prefect Cao,

you still need to work on your skills of disciplining your subordinates.

It was my fault.

I didn't discipline my subordinates properly.

If Fan Ligui dares to offend Your Highness again,

he will be given severe punishment.

I am not the one he offended.

Directress Fu is.

So, this is the Directress Fu

that is most valued by Her Majesty.

I wonder when Directress Fu plans to go back to Chang'an.

If you need anything on the road,

I will ask them to take care of it.

No need to bother.

-I don't want to go back. -As soon as possible.

Her Majesty thought Directress Fu was killed.

She's been very upset.

Send the message back right away

to cheer her up.

Yes.

I will send someone to deliver the message as soon as possible.

Excuse me.

Your Highness, I...

You don't want to go back to Chang'an.

But it's too late now.

You showed your face in front of too many people.

Your plan to fake your death

and run away with Sheng Chumu

has completely failed.

How did you know about it?

I knew it all along.

Are you willing to run away with me?

I am.

Then, let's go.

Your Highness,

we still haven't found Directress Fu.

She might really be gone.

You are right.

She might be gone.

I wish her a safe trip.

I saw the happy smile on your face that day

and my heart softened.

I just let you leave.

If you can conceal your identities and live a secret life,

I'll let you go right away.

But you exposed your identity,

so I won't give you a second chance.

However...

Officer, we are wronged!

Get in here!

Your Highness.

What's going on out there?

The official here

arrested a lot of people in the name of the case

and tortured them in the cell to extort money.

The victims' families are outside crying for justice.

Send my order.

Prisoners in the cell

who were arrested without evidence

shall be released right away!

Understood.

Come with me.

Where are we going?

From now on,

you are going

wherever I go.

Why do I have to listen to you?

General of Dominance seduced a court lady and eloped with her.

If I ever say a word about it to Her Majesty,

your sweetheart

would not end well.

You...

You are going

wherever I go.

King Zhou is truly a benevolent man!

Look,

that is King Zhou.

Isn't that the lady of the Fu family?

It turns out that she is with King Zhou.

What a perfect match!

King Zhou is here!

I can get on it myself.

Give me a smile.

I'm not in the mood.

If you don't,

on the way back to Chang'an later,

I won't promise that I will behave myself.

Smile.

Smile.

All right.

Let's go.

I set the fire in the Fu family.

But don't you want to know

who ordered me to do it?

The father of the bastard that you are pregnant with.

What is it?

You still can't sleep?

Do you want me to call in Doctor Zhang to have a look?

I'll go get some water for you to freshen up.

Don't bother.

I can do it myself.

Have some more rest.

Here.

Have some water.

You look tired and wan these days.

Do you think

karma will get those who have killed someone?

All right.

I already told you before.

Don't think too much about it.

You had no choice but to kill Hanxing.

And I already told my father that

I was the one who killed him.

Even if there is karma, I'll be the one to take it.

You've killed people before?

I am a general. Of course, I've killed people.

So, after you kill someone,

do you feel sad or regretful?

At the start,

I did feel sad and regretful.

But then, I stopped thinking too much about it.

You can rest assured.

For you and for our child,

I will try not to kill women in the future.

But what about the sins

we committed before?

Come here.

Don't worry about it.

Don't even think about it.

You've got me here.

You must be tired.

Here, have some food.

Come on.

Please give us some food.

Get off!

-I beg you! -What are you doing here?

Get away from here!

We don't have extra food.

-Give me some food. -Get off!

Get out of here!

Go! Shoot! Go away!

Just go away! No food here!

Stop it.

Thank you!

-Thank you! -Thank you!

Thank you, my lady.

The soft hearts of women.

Your Majesty.

I've got some good news.

Directress Fu is still alive.

She is not dead?

Somehow she managed to survive the chaos

and ran to Guangzhou.

Master Su said that she is blessed.

It was true.

Send a letter to her family right away,

so her parents can be relieved as well.

Yes.

So, the good place you mentioned is a tavern?

I can tell that you've been in low spirits lately.

Something must have happened.

You have something on your mind. I do, too.

Now that we both don't want to talk about it,

let's get drunk and drown our sorrows.

Don't drink that much.

Look at you.

What a disappointment you are!

Your brother finally gave you a chance.

However, not only did you fail him,

but you also took the concubines of the official...

Fan Zhang has been put into jail.

His concubines will be sent to be military prostitutes sooner or later.

I was just enjoying their service in advance.

You!

You...

Father!

Father!

You should take care, Father.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, you haven't been so well lately.

Why do you have to get so angry with him?

King Liang is so immature and reckless.

That's not good.

I need to find a queen for him to discipline him properly.

I can have a queen.

But she has to be beautiful.

Look at yourself. How do you get to choose?

You should be grateful if a daughter

of the nobles is willing to marry you.

That is not fair.

At least, King Liang is the son of Your Majesty.

If he is to marry a lady,

she is supposed to be from a noble family

with both beauty and talent.

Her Highness is right.

Shut your mouth!

Get out!

Think about what you did!

Look at him.

He looks really like...

He looks like Shijun.

Am I right?

Indeed.

You don't even care about me.

Then, why did you give me the Pearl Resurrection Elixir?

As for that night,

I don't regret what I did.

I didn't do it for you.

I did it for myself.

Please be assured.

I will not pester you.

I am not the adorable and kind Yin

in my mother's mind anymore.

I have changed.

I have turned into a vicious woman,

an ungrateful child,

and a murderer.

I killed Lu Hanxing with my own hands.

Who did you say that you killed?

My lady!

My lady!

Listen to me!

Listen to me!

Don't you touch me!

You are the most vicious woman I've ever seen!

My lady!

My lady!

How dare you get in my way!

What a pretty girl!

You deserve it.

Yin is pregnant.

I am going to be a father!

Really?

Really!

My beauty, don't hide from me.

What are you doing?

Cut the crap.

Take her back.

Let go of me!

Stop it!

Your Highness.

I am the daughter of Lu Yunji.

Lu Qi has such a pretty younger sister?

It was my maid that offended you just now.

For the sake of my father, Your Highness,

please let me take her back and discipline her.

All right.

I'll do you a favor for the sake of Duke of Cai.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Why are you still standing there?

Your Highness,

she is just a nobody. Why did you let her go?

Idiot!

She is the daughter of the Duke!

Do you think she is just a commoner

that we can take back randomly?

Aunt.

You are leaving so soon?

Yes.

Your father said that

Hanxing sent a message back.

He has to stay in the border town for half a year longer.

I can't be away for too long.

So, I decided to go back now.

I'll come here again when Hanxing is back.

Once Young Master Hanxing gets back,

we will send you a message.

Why are you crying?

It will be all right.

When Hanxing gets married,

I'll come here again.

At that time, I won't leave you anymore.

I will stay here to help Hanxing, you, and Qi

raise your children.

Yin,

I will burn incense and pray to the Bodhisattva

for the health and safety of you and your child.

Thank you, Aunt.

My lady, the carriage is loaded.

It is so kind of you, brother,

to give me all this stuff.

All right.

I should go.

You stay here.

Yingying,

it is not convenient for Yin to walk too much.

You should assist her if you can.

I should go.

Thank you.

You can go now.

You will be tortured

by your conscience your whole life.

I thought after the Great Mount Cang incident,

Lu Qi is going to be in big trouble.

But what a surprise!

Not only did the Grand Emperor speak for him,

but even Her Majesty also praised him for being loyal and brave.

That was really

a blessing in disguise.

It is all because of your help, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

here is a toast to you.

I am expecting some great news.

You'll need to make three toasts to me.

Your Highness,

what great news?

The Grand Emperor has been urging me to marry a wife.

I took a look,

and today,

I finally found the perfect lady for me.

Congratulations, Your Highness!

Come on, I'll make three toasts to you!

If you want to make a toast,

you'll have to do that after Lu Qi.

Why is it?

Because the perfect lady I found

is Lu Qi's younger sister.

Lu Qi, what an honor!

Good for you!

Now you are going to be the brother-in-law of His Highness.

Look at you.

Are you too thrilled to say anything?

Make a toast to His Highness now!

Your Highness,

marriages should be arranged by our parents.

So, as for my sister's marriage,

I don't think it is proper

for us to talk about it on our own.
