=The Legend of Jinyan=

(Episode 7)

Your Highness.

What are you doing?

There are many rebels in the mansion.

We have been ordered to search the mansion.

The Sovereign Prince gave an oral instruction,

inviting you to the Plum Garden.

If you don't arrive in half an hour,

the Sovereign Prince will consider you retired.

Jin'er, have no fear.

I will come up with a plan.

(Plum Garden)

How will that maid be dealt with?

There are tens of torture devices in the Imperial Prison.

We're confident that she'll confess.

You think the horoscope tablet...

She offended the imperial family.

It was such a bold act.

It doesn't matter if the tablet is true or false. Her intention was malicious.

Besides,

she approached you repeatedly.

The Imperial Prison won't let her live.

Your Highness,

where are you going?

You just summoned Prince Jin.

Tell him to wait here.

Your Majesty,

I have no idea

where the horoscope tablet came from.

Perhaps someone framed me.

You mean

your maid framed you.

Why would a maid

frame you?

I don't know.

I grew up with her.

We were as close as biological sisters.

I didn't expect her to do this.

Please judge wisely, Your Majesty.

Princess Consort,

do you think

I'll believe your words?

If I had known about the horoscope tablet,

I would have destroyed it early on.

I wouldn't have allowed her to take it to the mansion,

thus meeting my own doom.

Perhaps she was confused.

That's why she...

Enough!

I pay respect to you, Your Highness.

How is the authenticity of the horoscope tablet important?

You shouldn't blame

a maid for what happened.

Your Highness.

Of course it's important.

The Princess Consort's horoscope is harmful to her husband and ominous.

It could shake the foundations of the imperial family.

Whether the horoscope tablet is true or not,

the Princess Consort should take responsibility.

It stands to reason that her title should be removed.

I'm wronged.

Mother,

it's just an absurd theory proposed at a small rural temple.

It shouldn't be taken seriously.

The horoscope of the Princess Consort

was presented to the Ministry of Rites

and examined by the Administration of Heavenly Observatory.

Is it that

the Administration of Heavenly Observatory

has less credibility than a groundless horoscope tablet?

Prince Yu,

it's better to think the worst than not.

If her horoscope really is ominous

and harmful to the imperial fortune,

what will we do?

That makes no sense, Mother.

I'm a dignified sovereign prince.

How could I possibly be harmed

by a woman's horoscope?

When I appointed her as the Princess Consort,

you disliked her.

Now I want to remove her title,

you defend her.

Are you bent on going against me?

I dare not.

You chose her as the Princess Consort.

I defend her

to save your face.

If you removed her title now,

people would say

you didn't judge her right

and removed her title the day after the wedding.

Good.

Very good.

You've grown up.

I can't control you anymore.

Fine.

Do as you wish.

But

if anything goes haywire in the future,

don't blame me for it.

Sure.

(Yongning Pavilion)

Your Highness.

The Princess Consort is still in there.

What does the Princess Consort have to do with you?

Why aren't you gone?

The Princess Consort is fine.

The whole horoscope tablet incident is over.

Send my order to the Imperial Prison.

You mean

you're pardoning that...

Just send her away.

Yes.

(Plum Garden)

Your Highness,

hold your horses.

The Sovereign Prince asked you to wait for him.

He said he had an important matter to consult you.

Mom.

I miss you so much.

Aunt,

you must be tired.

Would you like a cup of tea?

Xiaoxizi,

you're being active.

What,

you pity the woman?

Or do you want to take the beating for her?

Aunt Yun,

you jest.

I'm just a eunuch.

My heart has no room for women.

I just noticed your weariness.

So...

Get lost,

or I'll punish you after I get done with her.

Got it.

I'll get going right now.

The flogging you gave me today

will be returned to you by the Princess Consort someday.

How dare you speak with such arrogance?

Not even Prince Jin can save you.

There's no hope for you now.

I might as well tell you.

Today will be the day of your death.

Stop.

Guard Zhong.

Guard Zhong.

Is that you?

The Sovereign Prince

ordered me to take her away.

The Sovereign Prince?

Guard Zhong.

The Princess Dowager told me

to bring the convicted maid to her for questioning.

But Prince Yu ordered me to send her away.

Handing her over to you

wouldn't be appropriate.

The Princess Dowager will know how to deal with her.

Don't worry, Guard Zhong.

Fine.

I'll go with you.

Get going.

This ignorant maid

committed such a heinous crime

and got the innocent Princess Consort involved.

How can we let her leave the mansion easily?

The Sovereign Prince gave the order.

She got punished just now.

Zhong Li,

I'd hate to have an inharmonious relationship with my son.

I made a great concession just now

and pardoned the Princess Consort.

But if she got away

with this outrageous crime,

the harem would be flipped upside down.

We must not

pardon this maid.

Guards.

Your Majesty.

You share the Sovereign Prince's interests.

Of course, he's thinking what you're thinking.

The Prince has punished her to reflect on her mistake at the Garden Service Division.

Is that so?

You just said

to send her away.

Your Majesty,

no matter what she has done,

she'll spend her remaining years in the remote Garden Service Division.

Maintaining the harmonious relationship between the Sovereign Prince and you

is the top priority.

Fine.

I'm tired.

All of you are dismissed.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

Come in.

Your Highness.

I failed to send her away.

The Princess Dowager summoned her.

She said the Princess Consort could be pardoned,

but a mistake had been made

and someone must take responsibility.

So that maid had to be punished.

I know

you'd hate to have her tortured.

So I took the liberty to claim you punished her,

ordering her to reflect on her mistake at the Garden Service Division.

Then, the Princess Dowager finally looked satisfied.

Now

the maid should have arrived at the Garden Service Division.

The Princess Dowager has been irritable lately.

Get some prescriptions for nerve-calming drugs from the Imperial Hospital.

Yes.

But Your Highness,

I don't understand

why you treat this woman

so differently.

I don't treat her differently.

I told her to get the horoscope tablet

to stop Wen's daughter from becoming the Princess Consort.

Now I'm just returning the favor.

Though the horoscope tablet incident started because of you,

the relationship between that woman and Prince Jin isn't simple.

Rumor has it that

Prince Jin carried a maid

through half of the mansion.

The maid Prince Jin carried

was Jinyan.

She really is a shameless woman.

I shouldn't have saved her.

Your Highness,

Prince Jin who is outside the door has asked for an audience with you.

He said he'd waited in the Plum Garden, but you never showed up.

So he came here.

He also said

to congratulate you on your marriage,

he brought a top-quality white jade stone

of the western Shurong Tribe to you.

I don't need his stupid jade.

It seems the cold wind in the Plum Garden

failed to sober him up this afternoon.

He still dares to run around under my nose.

Tell him to wait in Yangxin Hall.

Two hours later, tell him that I don't have time today

and he should go home.

Yes.

Moreover,

get a few white jade stones from Qionglin Storage House

to broaden his horizons.

Yes.

(Garden Service Division)

Where...

You slept for three days.

Now you've finally woken up.

Where...

Where am I?

Am I outside the mansion?

This is the Garden Service Division.

The Garden Service Division?

What is that?

Ignorant girl.

This division cultivates seasonal fruits, vegetables and plants in the mansion.

It has its own place

on the rear hill of Yincang Forest.

It's the quietest place in the mansion.

Why am I here?

Shouldn't I be in the Imperial Prison?

How do I know?

Guard Zhong sent you here the other day

and said you'd work here.

Guard Zhong?

Zhong Li?

He saved me.

What else did he say?

Will he come to me again?

Stop imagining yourself as his favorite.

Guard Zhong simply did a good deed.

Don't have any feelings you shouldn't have.

You'd better behave

and do your job.

Or else you will suffer.

Get it?

Don't cry.

You...

Li Chaohai.

Your Highness.

You are awake.

I'll have the servants bring breakfast here.

No need.

I'll have breakfast

at the Princess Consort's place.

Yes.

Yes.

And

continue to summon Prince Jin to the mansion

and tell him to wait in the Plum Garden.

Sovereign Prince Yu has arrived.

Your Highness,

what brought you here?

What?

Can't I come?

No.

The other day,

you saved me from trouble in front of the Princess Dowager.

I'm grateful to you.

I should be going to your place and thanking you.

Get up.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Why bow your head?

Raise your head.

You're a dignified princess consort.

How come you have less courage than your maid?

Do I look like so fierce

that I scare you?

I dare not think you that way.

It's just

that you're the Sovereign Prince

and I ought to revere you.

The way you fear me

is similar to the way

your maid fears me.

I grew up with her

and we were as close as sisters.

But I didn't expect her to...

Since you are so close,

why didn't you plead for her

while shedding tears that day?

I wanted to plead for her.

But I dared not offend the imperial family

or cover up her crime.

I know national matters

come before family matters.

You are eloquent

and good at making choices.

It's a pity that maid has been sacrificed as a pawn.

She's leading a miserable life at the Garden Service Division.

(Garden Service Division)

Do I look like someone who can grow vegetables?

Aunt Yancui.

Our supervisor is suffering from inflammation.

He said your dandelion leaves could relive inflammation most effectively.

Xiaoxizi.

A ghost!

What? What ghost?

Hey.

A ghost!

What ghost?

Where is the ghost?

How can there be a ghost in the daytime?

I didn't see anything.

Jinyan, rest in peace.

Don't come to me again.

I... I'll burn paper money for you.

Don't... Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Take a closer look. I'm alive.

You...

You...

You really aren't dead.

Have you ever seen a dead person who can breathe?

I finally understand

what Xiaoquanzi and the others

were talking about mysteriously today.

What were they talking about?

Prince Jin got punished.

Guard Zhong took the blame in front of the Princess Dowager.

All that talking hyped them up.

And they were talking about you.

Took the blame?

Guard Zhong?

Look at you.

How lucky you are.

Prince Jin

and Guard Zhong

overcame all obstacles for you,

waded through difficult waters for you,

passionately sacrificed for you,

and showed no fear of death for you.

Guard Zhong usually looks cold.

I didn't know he was such an affectionate person.

He looks cold?

I knew he helped me.

Then

is Guard Zhong alright?

Guard Zhong is Prince Yu's trusted follower.

The Princess Dowager wouldn't make things difficult for him.

Tell me

the beautiful love story

of you and Guard Zhong.

So I can go back

and flaunt my knowledge

with Xiaoquanzi and the others.

There's no love story. Cut the crap.

By the way,

what happened to the Princess Consort after that incident?

The Princess Dowager was furious.

She was going to remove the Princess Consort's title.

Fortunately, Prince Yu saved her in time.

He said his imperial physique could neutralize

the harmful effect of her horoscope.

Prince Yu sounds decent.

Your Highness,

I really have no idea where the horoscope tablet came from.

Perhaps she was being playful.

Perhaps she held ulterior motives.

Anyway,

I swear

the horoscope tablet is fake.

I will never do anything

to damage your fortune.

Your Highness,

drink some tea to moisturize your throat.

This is made with the dew I collected a few days ago.

You were in the mood for collecting dew.

According to you,

that maid returned your kindness with enmity. She is truly abominable.

How about I order

someone to dismember her with five horses to avenge you?

That won't do.

It all started due to my poor control of my servants.

If you make such a decision,

your reputation may be damaged.

Enough!

Drop the act.

You didn't want to marry me.

It's alright.

You made every endeavor to run away from the wedding.

It's alright.

But you shouldn't have

shrunk from your responsibility

and let another person take the blame for you.

I dare not.

I dare not.

Raise your head.

Actually,

I had been curious.

What kind of person

was my new wife?

But you

disappointed me.

Your eyes have reddened.

Are you feeling wronged?

I see you're dissatisfied

with our marriage.

It's my great honor

to marry you.

I dare not feel dissatisfied.

I just haven't recovered

from the incident that happened a few days ago.

Alright.

In that case,

I will come

after you recover.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Stop here.

Wen Sujin.

You nightmare, how can I

get rid of you?

I'm telling you,

Prince Yu has always slighted the imperial harem.

He never shielded any woman.

They said he made this exception

because of Guard Zhong.

If Guard Zhong hadn't pleaded for you,

Prince Yu wouldn't have saved the Princess Consort.

It can't be.

It can be.

Prince Yu has always slighted the Princess Consort.

He didn't even show up on their wedding night.

Why did he shun the Princess Consort?

I don't know...

Don't pry. Don't pry.

If you don't tell me,

I'll tell Guard Zhong

you bullied me and beat me.

No.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

I'll tell you, alright?

Chengrui Pavilion is cursed.

Illness will befall the Princess Consort.

Nonsense.

It's true. It's true.

After Princess Consort Shuning moved into the mansion, she expired in less than a year.

Rumor has it

Prince Yu's horoscope is harmful to his wife.

They said the new Princess Consort won't live longer than three months.

That corresponds to my dream.

Moreover,

on their wedding night,

a green-eyed black cat left its bloody handprint in the nuptial chamber.

Tell me.

If that can't prove the curse of Chengrui Pavilion,

then what can?

Stop!

Stop!

Catch her!

I'm not going there. I'm not going there.

I'm not going there.

Stop.

-No. -Come on.

Who is that?

The Garden Service Division

has some ties with Chengrui Pavilion.

After the last Princess Consort expired,

all her maids were sent away.

But she,

the younger sister of Aunt Yancui,

was shocked into losing her mind

and allowed to stay here.

Just ignore that maid.

You should know

Aunt Yancui is not to be messed with.

The Garden Service Division may be remote,

but you'll be safe here.

Both Prince Jin and Guard Zhong

take a fancy to you.

In the future,

I'll just follow your lead

and enjoy all sorts of benefits.

I can be safe in the Garden Service Division.

But it must be dangerous to stay in Chengrui Pavilion.

It's noon already.

If I don't go back now, I'll get flogged.

You just stay here.

Don't go anywhere.

Pretend that you've seen no maid.

I'll fetch some dandelion leaves.

Got to go.

Yes.

(Dongnuan Pavilion)

I haven't made great contributions.

But I'm a member of the court

with an official position.

You ordered me to wait in the Plum Garden for several consecutive days.

But you never allowed me to have an audience with you.

Did you mean to humiliate me?

Please give me an explanation, Your Highness.

The fertile farmland in Huainan has been flooded.

After working for several days,

I felt tired.

So I slighted you.

I'm sure you won't bother to bear grudges against me.

Right?

Why did you do it

for several days?

No particular reason.

I just wanted you to remember

this is my harem.

Certain rules

should be followed.

Don't meddle in other people's affairs.

I'm sure the wind at the Plum Garden

has sobered you up in the past few days.

Starting from tomorrow,

I'll pardon you for your inappropriate action.

You don't have to wait in the Plum Garden anymore.

(Dongnuan Pavilion)

Your Highness,

Duke An came to discuss official business

with an imperial token.

So?

You ordered Prince Jin to wait outside the hall,

but didn't allow him to see you in the past few days.

I think

Duke An probably intended to warn you.

He took advantage of his seniority.

Pay no attention to him.

Yes.

Understood.

Zhong Li.

Yes.

Take off your clothes.

I told you to take off your clothes. Didn't you hear?

Yes.

Your Highness.

What are you...

I want to take a walk.

Talk a walk...

So you want to take a walk.

But why are you wearing my clothes?

Do I need

your permission to do anything?

Come here.

Do you know what day it is?

It's not a special day.

The first day of the month.

Today is the first day of the month.

Surely, the Princess Dowager will send someone here.

Your Highness,

Aunt Yiguang of Yongning Pavilion asked for an audience with you.

I'm counting on you.

I have government affairs to attend to.

Tell her to go back.

Aunt Yiguang said

she'd wait until you were done.

Then let her wait.

Yes.

Your Highness.

What's so special about the first day of the month?

On the first day of the month,

I should visit the Princess Consort.

So,

work hard for me.

Got to go.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Prince Yu...

Please be patient, Aunt Yiguang.

I wonder how is Suyu doing.

Now the horoscope tablet is gone,

what bargaining chip do I have?

Maybe I should run away with her.

No. No.

Sovereign Prince Yu's Mansion is heavily-guarded.

My kung fu isn't good enough

to defend us.

But

there is still a way out.

Here is the token. Let us pass now.

That token can give me access to anyplace.

Stop.
