00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:23,600
♫The sounds from the sheng and xiao die away in the distance, in the sparse, declining light ♫
(T/N reed instrument made of vertical pipes; end-blown flute)
3
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:29,300
♫ Memories of my past, my companions in youth. ♫
4
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:35,000
♫ Over boundless years, old affairs have become difficult to recall. ♫
5
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,000
♫ I’ve used a lifetime of truth to put up a pretense. ♫
6
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:49,200
♫ Parting without opening these cupped hands full of tears. ♫
7
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,000
♫ Clears my vision and permits me to resist ♫
8
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,600
♫ Perhaps when targeted by love it is not wise to separate ♫
9
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:07,000
♫ The morning wind can not dispel the aftermath. ♫
10
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,800
♫ Whose hidden tears made the blooming flowers blush, ♫
11
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:20,800
♫ And in the desolate and dreary torrential storms to painfully droop low, ♫
12
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,000
♫ Unwilling to blossom again alone? ♫
13
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,800
♫ The coming day belongs to the young. ♫
14
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:32,000
♫ As the glimmer of dawn becomes again the setting sun. ♫
15
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,800
♫ Who is this person who does not sleep soundly in the middle of the night? ♫
16
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:43,600
♫Sitting and watching the autumn wind puff out and penetrate the palace curtains. ♫
17
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:49,400
♫One strand held in remembrance, shackling sentiment and concern. ♫
18
00:01:49,400 --> 00:02:00,600
♫ Always submerged in the fragrant incense of fleeting time ♫

Episode 8
21
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,200
Greetings, Sister Consort Xian.
22
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,100
With such chilly weather, why did you come?
23
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:35,000
I initially planned to go visit First Class Attendant Hai.
24
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,900
I heard from Yexin that she's still sleeping, so I came to visit you first.
25
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:42,200
With that commotion last night, everyone heard it,
26
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,900
but none was willing to go out and uphold justice.
27
00:02:44,900 --> 00:02:49,550
Fortune and misfortune go together. Good thing, First Class Attendant Hai has moved out of Xianfu Palace.
[Kexin]
28
00:02:49,550 --> 00:02:52,500
It can be said that her suffering didn't go in vain.
29
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:54,300
It's just that Sister Consort Xianfu,
30
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:57,000
why go through the trouble to offend that Xianfu Palace?
31
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Hai Lan was being treated unfairly. I couldn't bear to watch.
32
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,300
Hai Lan was indeed accused wrongly.
33
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:06,700
But if this case was investigated further, everyone will look bad.
34
00:03:06,700 --> 00:03:10,800
Hence, His Majesty still gave Noble Consort steps to go down to.
35
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,600
But look at you, dizzy and having stuffed nose.
36
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,200
You should light more brain arousing Tibetan incense.
37
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,800
This agarwood scent is too light and it's so dark.
38
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,300
In the whole palace, only you like to use them.
39
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,900
I just love the scent of agarwood.
40
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:33,700
Agarwood is like a setting stone.
41
00:03:33,700 --> 00:03:37,000
If our heart can just be a bit like a submerging agarwoood,
42
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,200
you won't get afraid no matter how chaotic it is outside.
43
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:47,800
I'll make it lighter then.
44
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,000
Mistress, Noble Lady Jia is here to see you.
45
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,800
Your Highness Noble Consort, I brought you high quality mountain ginseng from our Yu clan.
46
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,000
It's good for nourishing your health.
47
00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:59,700
Thank you, Noble Lady Jia.
48
00:03:59,700 --> 00:04:01,200
Come over here to sit.
49
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Thank you, Your Highness Noble Consort.
50
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,400
What's wrong with you?
51
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,900
What's wrong with me?
52
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:15,200
Whenever I remember what happened last night,
53
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,300
I get so mad.
54
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:19,600
I was thinking of coming over yesterday to join in the fun,
55
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,400
to look at how embarrassing First Class Attendant Hai is. Later on, I heard that His Majesty came.
56
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,400
I then didn't dare to go anymore.
57
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,400
But going back to it, how come His Majesty didn't side with you?
58
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,700
He cared about me,
59
00:04:32,700 --> 00:04:35,400
that's why, he kicked that Hai Lan out of here.
60
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,800
But that bitch was let off too lightly. She now get to be with that Consort Xian.
61
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,700
Your Highness Noble Consort, you just shot yourself in the foot.
62
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:48,200
Empress is virtuous. Even if she's on your side, she won't openly help you.
63
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,300
Just drop it. It's just one First Class Attendant and the days are still long.
64
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,800
Are you afraid that you won't be able to eventually deal with her?
65
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,800
But your cold illness, is it serious?
66
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,400
A bit of cold illness isn't really a big deal.
67
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,600
But being unable to vent this anger,
68
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,760
plus His Majesty not allowing me to serve him for 3 months,
69
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,600
thinking all these is making my chest painful.
70
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,200
You've beaten up First Class Attendant Hai and tormented Consort Xian. That's already venting your anger.
71
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,100
Why still feel stuffed in the chest?
72
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,900
You even are laughing at me!
73
00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:25,000
Isn't this all your idea?!
74
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,900
Your Highness Imperial Concubine Chun. Mistress, First Class Attendant is awake and her fever is gone.
75
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:32,000
- Let's go over and check her.
- Okay.
76
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,100
Mistress Chun, I fear that First Class Attendant Hai doesn't want to see anyone.
77
00:05:37,100 --> 00:05:42,100
At broad daylight, she had the curtains pulled and hid under her blanket, not moving at all.
78
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,200
I'll just visit her once she's better.
79
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,400
That's good too.
80
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,700
Sister, I won't disturb you anymore.
81
00:05:51,700 --> 00:05:53,300
Okay.
82
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,500
Walk slowly on your way back.
83
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,100
I will take my leave.
84
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:10,300
Let's go look at Hai Lan.
85
00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:17,000
I feel that it's not enough to let Yexin be the only one to serve her.
86
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,900
I can't dare use the people sent by the Inner Palace.
87
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:22,700
We can't have another Xiangyun.
88
00:06:22,700 --> 00:06:26,700
Mistress, don't worry. I've already sent Zezhi to her place.
89
00:06:26,700 --> 00:06:31,500
That servant is very honest. She's an old maid of ours.
90
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:34,430
What's the use of just being concerned of other people's matter? Mistress,
91
00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:37,700
if you ask me, Xiangyun usually was very quiet.
92
00:06:37,700 --> 00:06:41,500
After getting bribed, she immediately could open her mouth and bite her mistress.
93
00:06:41,500 --> 00:06:44,280
Our palace mustn't have such kind of person.
94
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:48,500
In our palace, other than you 2 and Sanbao,
95
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:51,200
you must continue to be vigilant of the others.
96
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,500
Of course. I will be meticulous in observing them.
97
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,800
Mistress, I've brought you your medicine.
98
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,000
Quickly drink it.
99
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,200
It's me, Hai Lan.
100
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,000
Sister, why must they do that?
101
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:24,400
I feel so embarrassed to see anyone now.
102
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,100
Things have come to past.
103
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:28,400
No, it hasn't.
104
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,800
Whenever I close my eyes,
105
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,000
I can see so many eyes looking at me.
106
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,200
They are looking at me barefooted and being punished.
107
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,400
They are watching me getting falsely accused of stealing.
108
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,600
They watched my clothes getting stripped open.
109
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,000
So many servants,
110
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,200
all looking at me.
111
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,900
Hai Lan.
112
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,800
Hai Lan, we're currently in the imperial harem.
113
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,500
As the day passes, we must become more sensible.
114
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:08,400
But I don't understand anymore.
115
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,400
Why must they be like this?
116
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,900
For people living in the palace, what haven't they endured?
117
00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:19,400
What tricks can they not employ?
118
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,200
Last night , when I got splashed by that cold water, I was so mad.
119
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,200
But what's the use of getting mad?
120
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,400
Everyone thinks that I suffered grievances in Xianfu Palace.
121
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,000
The more then that I won't feel aggrieved.
122
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,300
For things that is hard to endure,
123
00:08:36,300 --> 00:08:40,600
bite your teeth, smile, and just endure for a while, then think of a way after.
124
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,600
If you give it too much importance,
125
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,600
others will just treat you as a joke.
126
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,300
If you cheer yourself up and be indifferent about it,
127
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,300
no one can do anything to you.
128
00:08:53,010 --> 00:08:55,040
I can't do it.
129
00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:58,100
I can't do it, Sister.
130
00:08:58,100 --> 00:08:59,600
Mistress.
131
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,700
His Majesty asks that you immediately see him in Yangxin Palace Hall.
132
00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:06,000
Last night, you suffered a lot.
133
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,200
His Majesty must be calling you to go to Yangxin Palace Hall so he can comfort you.
134
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:13,400
Did he give any reason?
135
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,000
The eunuch that came to promulgate the decree seems to be new on the job.
136
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,600
He just said that there's an urgent matter and that you should hurry.
137
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,300
I got it.
138
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,500
Hai Lan, I already told you what should be said.
139
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:27,900
I was able to save you last night,
140
00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:30,200
but I may not be able to do it every time.
141
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,400
Think about it.
142
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Serve First Class Attendant Hai to drink her medicine.
143
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,600
Yes.
144
00:10:01,510 --> 00:10:03,380
Li Yu, what's wrong?
145
00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:05,940
Mistress Xian.
146
00:10:06,700 --> 00:10:09,800
I committed a mistake, so I got punished.
147
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,500
How come you're being punished this gravely?
148
00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:13,600
These broken bricks are very painful.
149
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,700
What's going on?
150
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:19,800
Mistress Xian, don't ask anymore.
151
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,100
I am just being punished by my Teacher.
152
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:28,300
Mistress Xian, quickly go in. It's too cold out here.
153
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:30,900
After kneeling, come to Yanxi Palace.
154
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:33,400
I'll tell Suoxin to prepare some medicines.
155
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,800
Your Highness Consort Xian, you're here.
156
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,500
Quickly go in. How come you're talking with a servant out here?
157
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:49,800
How come Li Yu is kneeling there?
158
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,400
He? When he was serving His Majesty,
159
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,200
the tea he served was a bit too hot and it burned His Majesty's tongue a little.
160
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,600
Shouldn't he be punished?
161
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,600
Your Highness Consort Xian, let's just go inside.
162
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,800
Don't bother yourself with matters about servants anymore.
163
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,400
Please.
164
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,700
You said it right. All are servants. Who is different from who?
165
00:11:15,220 --> 00:11:19,310
Your Majesty and Your Highness Empress, Her Highness Consort Xian is here.
166
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,470
Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness Empress.
167
00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:27,600
Rise.
168
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,610
Thank you, Your Highness Empress.
169
00:11:31,220 --> 00:11:33,140
Quickly sit down.
170
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:44,980
Consort Xian, after last night's matter, are you and First Class Attendant Hai both well?
171
00:11:44,980 --> 00:11:49,920
Your Majesty, I'm fine. It's just that First Class Attendant Hai got frightened badly.
172
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,690
The wound on her feet must be tended closely.
173
00:11:52,690 --> 00:11:57,150
Since she's now in your palace, try to provide more care and tell her to be more at ease.
174
00:11:57,150 --> 00:12:00,000
Stop thinking about the past.
175
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,470
I will take good care of First Class Attendant Hai.
176
00:12:03,470 --> 00:12:05,010
Empress, please talk.
177
00:12:05,010 --> 00:12:08,430
Second Class Attendant has been refusing to see you for 5 to 6 days now.
178
00:12:08,430 --> 00:12:14,140
After lunch today, Second Class Attendant went to see me and asked me to look at her face.
179
00:12:14,140 --> 00:12:17,490
I'm unable to make any conclusion,
180
00:12:17,490 --> 00:12:21,270
hence, I can only take her here to see you.
181
00:12:21,270 --> 00:12:24,170
Sulian, go ask Second Class Attendant Mei to come here.
182
00:12:24,170 --> 00:12:26,850
Let her say her grievances by herself.
183
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:35,490
Your Majesty, this Second Class Attendant Mei kept crying.
184
00:12:35,490 --> 00:12:39,460
I was thinking that when Second Class Attendant Mei got slapped,
185
00:12:39,460 --> 00:12:43,390
Consort Xian personally saw it and even escorted her back to Yonghe Palace.
186
00:12:43,390 --> 00:12:47,810
Hence, I asked His Majesty to urgently call for you to come here.
187
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:51,300
May Your Majesty look at her face first.
188
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,780
Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness Empress, and Consort Xian.
189
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:03,830
- Rise.
- Thank you, Your Majesty.
190
00:13:04,630 --> 00:13:07,570
What's going on? You just got slapped a few times.
191
00:13:07,570 --> 00:13:10,690
It should have healed already.
192
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,010
How come it's getting worse?
193
00:13:21,010 --> 00:13:23,630
That surely wasn't a result of the slapping her face.
194
00:13:23,630 --> 00:13:28,080
It must be that she used the wrong medication or that she didn't watch what she's eating.
195
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,550
I love my beauty so much and can't dare to destroy it
196
00:13:31,550 --> 00:13:34,430
for it might anger Your Majesty.
197
00:13:34,430 --> 00:13:37,440
It's my fault for offending Noble Consort.
198
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,060
I also endured getting hit by her.
199
00:13:40,060 --> 00:13:44,810
It's just that I've already been eating light and bland food, and applying the medicines on time.
200
00:13:44,810 --> 00:13:49,590
But...my face keeps getting worse.
201
00:13:49,590 --> 00:13:53,530
I'm panicking and very scared, and couldn't dare to see you.
202
00:13:53,530 --> 00:13:56,240
I can only go to Her Highness Empress to vent my complaints.
203
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,910
I already asked the people attending to Second Class Attendant Mei, and they all said that she was very careful in her food.
204
00:14:00,910 --> 00:14:05,300
Even for water, she especially used barley water that has anti-swelling effect.
205
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,760
What medicine did you use?
206
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:16,430
I got it from the Bureau of Imperial Physician. They said that after slapping me, Noble Consort was willing to patch up our quarrel.
207
00:14:16,430 --> 00:14:19,950
Hence, she especially had that drug delivered to express her apology.
208
00:14:19,950 --> 00:14:21,770
Did you bring the medicine with you?
209
00:14:30,130 --> 00:14:32,210
Replying to Your Majesty and Your Highness Empress,
210
00:14:32,210 --> 00:14:36,760
I got this medicine from the Bureau of Imperial Physcian.
211
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,820
I was also there that day. For a harmonious relationship between the six palaces,
212
00:14:39,820 --> 00:14:42,660
I urged Noble Consort to deliver some medicines to Second Class Attendant Mei.
213
00:14:42,660 --> 00:14:47,100
It's also me who asked Sulian to get the medicines under the name of Noble Consort.
214
00:14:47,790 --> 00:14:50,080
- Wang Qin.
- I'm here.
215
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,910
Qi Ru earlier has checked my safety channels. Is he still around?
216
00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:59,020
Replying to Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Qi is currently in the side room drafting the prescription for your winter supplementation.
217
00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:03,080
Tell him to come here and check this medicine.
218
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,730
Yes.
219
00:15:13,220 --> 00:15:16,230
Mistress, drink some porridge.
220
00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:22,080
Where is Sister? Has she returned?
221
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:27,000
Mistress, Mistress Xian has just left for a short while. Don't panic.
222
00:15:27,580 --> 00:15:30,190
She has left for a long time.
223
00:15:34,090 --> 00:15:38,660
Say, could it be Your Majesty has blamed Sister
224
00:15:38,660 --> 00:15:40,180
for what happened last night?
225
00:15:40,180 --> 00:15:42,250
Mistress, you're overthinking.
226
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:44,490
Yexi, go and check it.
227
00:15:44,490 --> 00:15:46,710
- Mistress.
- Quickly go.
228
00:15:46,710 --> 00:15:48,350
Yes.
229
00:15:55,070 --> 00:16:03,070

230
00:16:09,140 --> 00:16:12,140
Replying to Your Majesty and Your Highness Empress,
231
00:16:12,140 --> 00:16:16,340
this medicine indeed came from the pharmacy of the Bureau of Imperial Physician.
232
00:16:16,340 --> 00:16:19,690
It's just that some leadwort was added into it.
233
00:16:19,690 --> 00:16:21,020
What's that medicine for?
234
00:16:21,020 --> 00:16:26,370
Replying to Your Majesty, this leadwort is a half-shrub herb that grows in the south.
235
00:16:26,370 --> 00:16:30,630
It's usually not used alone, because it's poisonous,
236
00:16:30,630 --> 00:16:33,190
especially during skin contact.
237
00:16:33,190 --> 00:16:38,480
Your Majesty, I didn't know who I offended
238
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,240
that she would order Sulian to bring me that medicine to harm me.
239
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,390
May Your Majesty investigate it properly. Although I indeed was the one who asked Sulian to deliver the medicine,
240
00:16:51,390 --> 00:16:54,350
if I was the one who did this intolerable act,
241
00:16:54,350 --> 00:16:57,110
I wouldn't have brought Second Class Attendant Mei here to Yangxin Palace Hall
242
00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:59,840
and instead did all means to stop her from coming here.
243
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:06,460
Empress, please sit first.
244
00:17:06,460 --> 00:17:08,300
Thank you, Your Majesty.
245
00:17:11,810 --> 00:17:16,890
Empress is virtuous. I know that in my heart. But Sulian...
246
00:17:16,890 --> 00:17:20,690
Your Majesty, please investigate it clearly. It was indeed me who claimed the medicine that day
247
00:17:20,690 --> 00:17:23,080
and personally delivered it to Second Class Attendant Mei,
248
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:27,230
but I dare not put any additional item into that medicine!
249
00:17:28,660 --> 00:17:32,000
Oh, right. That day, my wrist just happened to have an injury.
250
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,910
The imperial physicians then taught me to get some of this medicine and apply it on my injury.
251
00:17:35,910 --> 00:17:40,490
They said that it has a blood clotting effect. When I applied it, nothing strange happened to me.
252
00:17:40,490 --> 00:17:43,020
When you rubbed it on you, nothing happened.
253
00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:47,180
Sulian, carefully think about it again. That day, on your way to deliver it,
254
00:17:47,180 --> 00:17:49,790
did anyone else touch the medicine?
255
00:17:49,790 --> 00:17:54,210
No one anymore. I rushed to delivered it. Upon reaching Yonghe Palace,
256
00:17:54,210 --> 00:17:58,360
only Consort Xian was there. After delivering the medicine, I already went back.
257
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:02,340
Yes. That day when Sulian delivered the medicine,
258
00:18:02,340 --> 00:18:05,550
Her Highness Consort Xian kept me company for a while and then left.
259
00:18:05,550 --> 00:18:09,480
Afterwards, no one else came to visit me.
260
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:13,410
I remember.
261
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:19,660
That day, Her Highness Consort Xian indeed opened this ointment.
262
00:18:19,660 --> 00:18:23,380
Second Class Assistant Mei, I opened that box of medicine that day
263
00:18:23,380 --> 00:18:27,200
to help you confirm if it was a medicine to treat swelling.
264
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,160
Also, it was you who asked me to stay and check it for you.
265
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,550
May I ask Consort Xian, other than you that day,
266
00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:39,430
is there anyone else who had the chance to touch this ointment?
267
00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:43,090
Everyone has an envious heart. I also know
268
00:18:43,090 --> 00:18:47,700
that since I earned His Majesty's favor, people have been coveting to bring me harm.
269
00:18:47,700 --> 00:18:51,920
Never thought that person will be you.
270
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:58,130
Second Class Attendant Mei, you clearly saw what I did and didn't do that day.
271
00:18:58,130 --> 00:19:02,890
If you want to falsely accuse me like that, I don't know anymore what to say.
272
00:19:02,890 --> 00:19:06,900
Your Majesty, in receiving this kind of humiliation,
273
00:19:06,900 --> 00:19:10,370
Consort Xian surely is involved.
274
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:12,860
May Your Majesty investigate it!
275
00:19:16,670 --> 00:19:21,750
Your Majesty, since a thing like this happened and Second Class Attendant Mei's face got harmed because of it,
276
00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:24,100
I have to investigate it.
277
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:29,030
Being envious is a grave crime among the imperial harem and there was even covert harming like this that happened.
278
00:19:29,030 --> 00:19:32,940
It is my fault for not strictly disciplining the harem.
279
00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:36,210
Empress indeed has committed lapses, but the crime wasn't done by you.
280
00:19:37,070 --> 00:19:42,500
Consort Xian, whether it was done by you or not, you should still undergo interrogation.
281
00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:48,390
How about this? You all go back to your palace first. I will let the Jingqi Momo of Shenxing (Caution Punishment) Office to interrogate you.
(Jingqi - top ranked Momo/Nanny; in Manchurian dialect means 'watch mother')
282
00:19:52,540 --> 00:19:54,210
Yes.
283
00:19:54,210 --> 00:19:57,560
The Shenxing Office is in-charge of the punishment of the imperial harem,
284
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,370
from imperial concubines to the palace servants.
285
00:20:00,370 --> 00:20:05,050
As long as someone committed a mistake and needed to be interrogated, he or she must go there.
286
00:20:05,050 --> 00:20:07,750
Of course, if you didn't commit a crime, then good.
287
00:20:07,750 --> 00:20:11,860
If you did, it can't be helped for you to go to Shenxing Office.
288
00:20:11,860 --> 00:20:15,180
I'm willing to go to Shenxing Office to prove my innocence.
289
00:20:16,710 --> 00:20:20,720
But may His Majesty clearly remember that I didn't do it.
290
00:20:23,530 --> 00:20:27,020
Once the matter is investigated, things will become clear.
291
00:20:27,020 --> 00:20:31,850
But remember, Consort Xian mustn't be intensely questioned. She mustn't be harmed by a bit.
292
00:20:31,850 --> 00:20:33,110
How then will we be able to find it out?
293
00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:36,470
If Consort Xian was the one who did it, she surely will show some inconsistencies.
294
00:20:36,470 --> 00:20:40,140
Jingqi Momo are very good in interrogating. They won't be deceived.
295
00:20:40,140 --> 00:20:43,070
Your Majesty!
296
00:20:43,740 --> 00:20:47,450
Your Majesty, it's impossible for Sister to have done this case.
297
00:20:47,450 --> 00:20:52,500
- Hai Lan?
- Your Majesty, it's really not Sister who did this.
298
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:56,100
- Why are you here?
- Your Majesty, First Class Attendant Hai has been here for a while.
[Jinzhong, eunuch serving in Yangxin Palace Hall]
299
00:20:56,100 --> 00:21:00,600
Because she heard that Your Majesty is here inside interrogating, she just stayed by the door and didn't come in.
300
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,860
First Class Attendant Hai has just hurt her feet and her body is weak. Why didn't you stop her?
301
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:07,120
I really couldn't stop her.
302
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:11,280
First Class Attendant Hai, how come you're sure that it wasn't Consort Xian who did it?
303
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,520
Because the fragrance pouch of Consort Xian has no leadwort,
304
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,900
how then could she have harmed anyone?
305
00:21:18,660 --> 00:21:20,650
No leadwort?
306
00:21:22,980 --> 00:21:24,560
Qi Ru.
307
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:40,760
Replying to Your Majesty, the color of leadwort is blue-green.
308
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,300
This is deep red, and seems to be powder made from
309
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:46,620
grounded sargent gloryvine stem.
310
00:21:46,620 --> 00:21:52,810
- What's going on?
- Replying to Your Majesty, that day, I saw that the sewing work on the fragrance pouch delivered to Sister by the Inner Palace
311
00:21:52,810 --> 00:21:56,510
was done very coarsely. I then took them back with me and resewed them.
312
00:21:56,510 --> 00:22:00,200
However, when I opened it, I discovered that the Inner Palace did a half-hearted job
313
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,580
by sending a second-grade leadwort with such poor color.
314
00:22:03,580 --> 00:22:07,200
Consort Xian lives in Yanxi Palace, which is quite remote and cold.
315
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,740
Those leadwort will surely not work.
316
00:22:09,740 --> 00:22:12,360
Coincidentally, I have sargent gloryvine stem in my room.
317
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:16,920
Its effect is similar to leadwort, which is removal of humidity and opening up one's vital channels.
318
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,980
Hence, I replaced the leadwort with sargent gloryvine stem.
319
00:22:20,980 --> 00:22:24,460
Since Sister Consort Xian doesn't have any leadwort, how could she have harmed anyone?
320
00:22:24,460 --> 00:22:29,680
Since sargent gloryvine's effect is similar to leadwort, who knows if it's also poisonous or not?
321
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,710
Your Majesty, sargent gloryvine stem isn't poisonous and won't damage one's face.
322
00:22:36,250 --> 00:22:41,400
Your Majesty, if you still don't believe me, you can carefully investigate.
323
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,200
I...actually feel grateful to the Inner Palace for belittling Sister.
324
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,030
This allowed Sister to escape this disaster.
325
00:22:52,130 --> 00:22:56,730
This is shameless bullying of others to increase your status. How can it be so bad?
326
00:22:56,730 --> 00:22:58,380
- Wang Qin.
- Here.
327
00:22:58,380 --> 00:23:00,780
- Investigate this.
- Yes.
328
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,870
Concubine Ruyi, take a seat first.
329
00:23:09,730 --> 00:23:12,640
You have suffered because of this.
330
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,170
I will fully investigate this.
331
00:23:15,170 --> 00:23:17,240
Thank you, Your Majesty.
332
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:22,480
Second Class Attendant Hai, you usually don't say much.
333
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,860
I didn't expect you to be exceptionally brave today.
334
00:23:24,860 --> 00:23:29,480
Your Majesty, it's not that I'm exceptionally brave.
335
00:23:30,190 --> 00:23:34,380
Concubine Ruyi has been fighting to prove my innocence.
336
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:38,850
I'm also desperately trying to prove her innocence.
337
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:45,150
Looks like letting you live in Yanxi Palace has allowed you two to take good care of each other.
338
00:23:46,580 --> 00:23:52,070
Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate this
339
00:23:52,070 --> 00:23:55,940
in order to clean up the palace and correct the governance.
340
00:23:57,820 --> 00:24:02,670
Regarding this matter, you were almost blinded by the Noble Consort.
341
00:24:02,670 --> 00:24:07,010
I think this should be left to Concubine Ruyi to investigate.
342
00:24:07,010 --> 00:24:09,650
The harem will be busy with trivial matters and it's also nearing year end.
343
00:24:09,650 --> 00:24:14,890
- You should concentrate on other matters instead.
- Yes.
344
00:24:14,890 --> 00:24:20,560
Concubine Ruyi. No matter what the outcome is from this investigation, you will have the final say.
345
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:21,540
Yes.
346
00:24:21,540 --> 00:24:25,420
Qiru, check if Second Class Attendant Mei can avoid being permanently scarred.
347
00:24:25,420 --> 00:24:29,270
Your Majesty, please don't worry. I will ensure that the physician treat her carefully.
348
00:24:29,270 --> 00:24:34,210
Fortunately, the amount of Plumbago is not that much. She didn't use it for more than six months. She probably can be cured.
349
00:24:34,210 --> 00:24:37,560
She probably won't be scarred.
350
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,070
First Class Attendant Hai, you must take good care of your health.
351
00:24:42,070 --> 00:24:45,950
Concubine Ruyi, I will order the physician to treat your cold.
352
00:24:45,950 --> 00:24:47,780
Yes.
353
00:24:47,780 --> 00:24:49,420
You can leave now.
354
00:24:50,460 --> 00:24:52,770
We are taking our leave.
355
00:24:58,940 --> 00:25:00,990
You are not afraid anymore?
356
00:25:01,900 --> 00:25:04,660
If I continue to be afraid,
357
00:25:04,660 --> 00:25:07,130
and they do whatever to me,
358
00:25:07,130 --> 00:25:09,790
I will only force myself to die.
359
00:25:10,890 --> 00:25:14,790
Older Sister, whatever you taught me,
360
00:25:15,420 --> 00:25:17,310
I remembered them.
361
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,200
Remember to get the medication from Yanxi Palace.
362
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,120
Thank you, Concubine Ruyi.
363
00:25:27,630 --> 00:25:30,390
Endure it for the time being. Be careful when you come.
364
00:25:30,390 --> 00:25:32,150
I understand.
365
00:25:33,290 --> 00:25:37,120
[Yangxin Palace Hall]
366
00:25:58,780 --> 00:26:03,110
Although this matter started with Noble Consort being too reckless,
367
00:26:03,110 --> 00:26:06,370
Second Class Attendant Mei is also fragile.
368
00:26:06,370 --> 00:26:12,130
As for you, before you fully investigated this, you already suspected Concubine Ruyi.
369
00:26:12,130 --> 00:26:15,280
I know that work at the harem is complicated but everything
370
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,910
should be dealt with fairly.
371
00:26:18,650 --> 00:26:22,780
I was shocked when I saw Second Class Attendant Mei's face.
372
00:26:22,780 --> 00:26:26,290
Consort Xian also successively got dragged into disputes.
373
00:26:26,290 --> 00:26:28,200
Hence, I was anxious.
374
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,590
Do you think she wanted to stir up troubles for herself?
375
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:34,250
You are the Empress. You are the Queen of the palace.
376
00:26:34,250 --> 00:26:38,280
When you are in this seat, you must be calm and not overly anxious.
377
00:26:40,650 --> 00:26:44,440
I'm rash and careless in doing my task and not steady enough.
378
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,210
I will be extra careful in the future.
379
00:26:47,210 --> 00:26:50,850
I still have more important work to do tonight. You can go back first.
380
00:26:52,870 --> 00:26:54,580
Yes.
381
00:27:06,530 --> 00:27:08,380
Your Highness.
382
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,100
Greetings, Your Highness.
383
00:27:13,100 --> 00:27:16,260
- Rise.
- Thank you, Your Highness.
384
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,140
Your Highness Empress, your complexion doesn't look too good. The weather lately has been drastically changing.
385
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:24,770
You must watch your health.
386
00:27:24,770 --> 00:27:28,660
With the weather being this cold, it's making one's heart chill.
387
00:27:28,660 --> 00:27:31,690
Changchun Palace has spring all year round. The favor and doting of His Majesty here last forever.
388
00:27:31,690 --> 00:27:34,870
His Majesty has warm affection towards you.
389
00:27:39,470 --> 00:27:42,060
Noble Consort was careless and drastic actions.
390
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:44,850
She forced Second Class Attendant Hai and Concubine Ruyi to gang up with each other.
391
00:27:44,850 --> 00:27:48,500
And then she hit Second Class Attendant Mei, causing me trouble.
392
00:27:48,500 --> 00:27:53,990
Talking about this, it's strange too. What's going on with Second Attendant Mei's face?
393
00:27:53,990 --> 00:27:57,220
There was no problem with the ointment which I delivered to her.
394
00:27:57,220 --> 00:28:03,230
But if Concubine Ruyi and the Noble Consort didn't do anything, something's really fishy.
395
00:28:03,230 --> 00:28:06,540
Could it be Second Attendant Mei who did it herself?
396
00:28:06,540 --> 00:28:10,990
It can't be. As a concubine, who would want to ruin her own face?
397
00:28:10,990 --> 00:28:15,140
Regardless of who did it, Concubine Ruyi benefited from it again.
398
00:28:15,140 --> 00:28:19,250
She wasn't successful in becoming the official wife. Her heart must be full of hatred.
399
00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:24,090
She may want to be on the same level as Your Highness. Who knows.
400
00:28:28,090 --> 00:28:32,750
Regarding this incident at Xianfu Palace, His Majesty is giving her his full protection.
401
00:28:32,750 --> 00:28:36,220
In Second Class Attendant Mei's matter today, he also was siding with Consort Xian.
402
00:28:36,220 --> 00:28:39,900
Your Highness, what are you afraid of? You are the official wife.
403
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:44,480
You also have Third Princess and Second Prince. Your main family is an influential clan.
404
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,280
His Majesty respects and attaches importance to you.
405
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,170
With this mouth of yours, no wonder His Majesty likes you.
406
00:28:51,870 --> 00:28:56,610
Since your heart has been lightened, I will take my leave then.
407
00:28:56,610 --> 00:28:58,240
Fine.
408
00:29:01,910 --> 00:29:10,050
Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those who Dare Team @ Viki.com
409
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,410
I want to use this incident regarding Second Attendant Mei to clean up the harem.
410
00:29:20,410 --> 00:29:24,580
I don't want His Majesty to think that I'm sloppy and careless.
411
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:26,960
And also that I'm not good enough.
412
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:30,080
Eunuch Wang took this rouge box from the palace.
413
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:31,900
He specifically wanted me to hand it over to you.
414
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:35,420
I already have this. Why does he always want me to accept this privately?
415
00:29:35,420 --> 00:29:38,950
Stop helping him. Take this back.
416
00:29:38,950 --> 00:29:42,920
What are Lianxin and Zhao Yitai doing over there?
417
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:48,120
Your Highness, you may not know. It was Eunuch Wang who instructed Zhao Yitai to bring this to her.
418
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,870
This is already not the first time.
419
00:29:50,870 --> 00:29:54,580
Wang Qin is interested in Lianxin?
420
00:29:56,780 --> 00:30:01,750
We can make good use of Wang Qin. We should control him.
421
00:30:01,750 --> 00:30:05,220
But he is not considered a man.
422
00:30:05,220 --> 00:30:08,950
Or else, marrying Lianxin to her is quite a compatible match.
423
00:30:28,210 --> 00:30:30,880
Mistress, Liyu is here.
424
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,790
Eunuch Liyu, what's wrong?
425
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:35,560
It's nothing.
426
00:30:40,190 --> 00:30:42,140
Why aren't you coming here?
427
00:30:42,140 --> 00:30:46,550
Concubine Ruyi, I was afraid that you are busy.
428
00:30:46,550 --> 00:30:51,120
If I'm afraid, I wouldn't have called you. Come here.
429
00:30:53,140 --> 00:30:54,810
Slowly.
430
00:31:01,900 --> 00:31:03,900
Take your time.
431
00:31:18,050 --> 00:31:20,730
If you are shy, just do it yourself.
432
00:31:21,260 --> 00:31:24,860
Why would you be afraid of me? Get up.
433
00:31:26,730 --> 00:31:28,560
Yes.
434
00:31:39,220 --> 00:31:41,270
How long did you kneel?
435
00:31:42,410 --> 00:31:44,790
I knelt for 2 hours on broken bricks.
436
00:31:44,790 --> 00:31:50,260
After that, I knelt for another hour in iron chains.
437
00:31:50,260 --> 00:31:52,280
Why?
438
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:00,080
There was one duty, where I showed some skills and earned His Majesty's liking.
439
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:05,610
It included the incident where you went to Xianfu Palace and I informed His Majesty about it.
440
00:32:05,610 --> 00:32:08,570
Deputy Eunuch Wang wasn't happy
441
00:32:08,570 --> 00:32:11,430
for not giving him that opportunity.
442
00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:13,830
He punished me ruthlessly.
443
00:32:17,350 --> 00:32:18,930
Concubine Ruyi.
444
00:32:18,930 --> 00:32:22,010
This is top quality white powder from Yunnan.
445
00:32:22,010 --> 00:32:24,000
It's great in stopping the bleeding and dispelling the clot.
446
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,340
Mistress Xian, your hands are precious. You mustn't do such things for me.
447
00:32:27,340 --> 00:32:30,660
If you want to serve at His Majesty's by tomorrow,
448
00:32:30,660 --> 00:32:32,940
be good and let me apply the ointment.
449
00:32:32,940 --> 00:32:35,550
See how blessed you are. Thank her now.
450
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,730
Thank you, Concubine Ruyi.
451
00:32:39,250 --> 00:32:44,240
You don't need to thank me. I should thank you instead.
452
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,040
If you didn't report to His Majesty last night,
453
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:50,010
I wonder what would have happened.
454
00:32:50,010 --> 00:32:52,570
This is what I should do.
455
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,650
Li Yu, Wang Qin is older and has a higher position.
456
00:32:59,650 --> 00:33:03,420
If you show him that you are intelligent,
457
00:33:03,420 --> 00:33:05,930
you will only harm yourself.
458
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,210
- Then...
- While you're below someone, you mustn't expose your cleverness,
459
00:33:11,210 --> 00:33:15,060
especially if the one above is non-accommodating.
460
00:33:15,060 --> 00:33:19,430
His Majesty likes you to be smart but others may not.
461
00:33:20,210 --> 00:33:23,370
When you go back later, don't show your resentment.
462
00:33:23,370 --> 00:33:25,560
Do a good job of flattering Wang Qin.
463
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,800
You are after all still working under him.
464
00:33:29,370 --> 00:33:33,910
So, I was clueless. Thank you for pointing this out.
465
00:33:34,930 --> 00:33:38,120
Take this ointment back and apply it.
466
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,170
When you are serving His Majesty, you must be extra careful.
467
00:33:41,170 --> 00:33:44,240
Make your eyes brighter.
468
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,580
I understand now. I'm leaving first.
469
00:34:21,540 --> 00:34:25,080
Mistress, you finally are willing to set your heart on it.
470
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:30,670
How can I not? A successive chain of events just fell on me like that.
471
00:34:32,130 --> 00:34:35,090
We wouldn't know when we would die.
472
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:40,610
You must be very wary of Wang Qin.
473
00:34:41,180 --> 00:34:43,360
Liyu is a honest person.
474
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,000
That's right.
475
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:51,620
Take this mugwort and give it to Concubine Hai for her wounds.
476
00:34:51,620 --> 00:34:53,310
Yes.
477
00:35:24,730 --> 00:35:27,720
Your Majesty, where are we going?
478
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:30,480
We are waiting for Your Majesty to select which concubine to visit.
479
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,320
I would like to take a walk.
480
00:35:33,650 --> 00:35:36,060
I will accompany you then.
481
00:35:36,060 --> 00:35:37,940
Where are we?
482
00:35:38,980 --> 00:35:43,830
We just passed Changchun Palace. If you go back, you can visit Her Highness.
483
00:35:46,610 --> 00:35:48,230
Let's go to Yanyi Palace.
484
00:35:48,230 --> 00:35:49,750
Yes, Your Majesty.
485
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,920
Mistress, His Majesty is here. Get ready to receive him now.
486
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,890
The scent of the roses is very fragrant.
487
00:36:14,890 --> 00:36:18,800
I almost forgot that it's winter now.
488
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,140
Greetings, Your Majesty.
489
00:36:20,140 --> 00:36:21,810
Get up now.
490
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,170
You have suffered for the past few days.
491
00:36:26,170 --> 00:36:31,630
I was wrong. I thought that, for the past few days,
492
00:36:31,630 --> 00:36:35,370
if I favored you less, there would be less hatred.
493
00:36:36,170 --> 00:36:41,000
In the end, I made it difficult for you.
494
00:36:42,030 --> 00:36:44,280
Your Majesty, I made it difficult for you.
495
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,510
I was punished by the Empress Dowager.
496
00:36:47,510 --> 00:36:51,690
You didn't visit me because you cared about what she would think.
497
00:36:51,690 --> 00:36:53,100
Come.
498
00:36:54,790 --> 00:36:59,220
When you were released from your confinement, the Empress Dowager reminded me that
499
00:36:59,220 --> 00:37:03,560
there shouldn't be any favoritism in the harem. If I were to over-pamper someone,
500
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,650
it will cause the other concubines to be jealous.
501
00:37:07,650 --> 00:37:11,450
But a lot of events have happened for the past few days.
502
00:37:11,450 --> 00:37:15,190
I have changed my mind too. If a flower blossoms in a corner,
503
00:37:15,190 --> 00:37:19,150
others will think that there is no one taking care of it and they will trample on it.
504
00:37:19,150 --> 00:37:24,570
Rather than this, I might as well be with you without any misgivings.
505
00:37:27,020 --> 00:37:31,680
You came here. It's so cold out there and it's frosty in the night.
506
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,580
You didn't even take care of your health.
507
00:37:37,410 --> 00:37:40,840
If I don't come here, I won't be at peace.
508
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:47,130
Don't worry. In the future, I won't restrain myself from visiting you.
509
00:37:51,570 --> 00:37:55,060
I like hearing you say these words the most.
510
00:37:55,060 --> 00:37:56,970
What words?
511
00:37:57,710 --> 00:37:59,800
"Don't worry".
512
00:38:03,890 --> 00:38:08,320
With these words, even if I'm detained by the House of Internal Affairs,
513
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,130
I will have peace of mind too.
514
00:38:11,130 --> 00:38:14,440
Fortunately, you are understanding.
515
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:19,780
I understand. On that day, when His Majesty allowed you to marry me,
516
00:38:19,780 --> 00:38:23,920
you said those words to me.
517
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,960
My mind has been at peace since then.
518
00:38:30,890 --> 00:38:33,080
It's good that you know.
519
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:39,640
But I wish that a confidante can last forever. I'll then won't worry or be afraid.
520
00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:09,900
Your Majesty.
521
00:39:10,510 --> 00:39:12,950
Don't get up. Sleep more.
522
00:39:12,950 --> 00:39:15,530
I will return to have dinner with you later.
523
00:39:15,530 --> 00:39:17,210
Yes.
524
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,130
A'ruo, take good care of your mistress. Prepare more of the
525
00:39:28,130 --> 00:39:31,300
White Jade Cream cakes. When I have the time,
526
00:39:31,300 --> 00:39:33,170
I will spend more time with you.
527
00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:34,970
Yes.
528
00:39:34,970 --> 00:39:36,960
What do you want for breakfast?
529
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,480
Bean beans and lotus seeds porridge.
530
00:39:44,570 --> 00:39:49,370
Mistress. Guess what His Majesty just said on his way out?
531
00:39:49,370 --> 00:39:52,250
What did he say to cause you to be like this?
532
00:39:52,250 --> 00:39:56,930
His Majesty said, "A'Ruo, take good care of your Mistress".
533
00:39:56,930 --> 00:40:02,640
"Remember to prepare more of the White Jade Cream cakes. I will spend time with you for the following days."
534
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,820
I didn't hear anything.
535
00:40:07,820 --> 00:40:12,310
Mistress, you didn't hear that? I distinctly remember it.
536
00:40:33,910 --> 00:40:37,180
Older Sister, the food from the kitchen is light and easy on the stomach.
537
00:40:37,180 --> 00:40:41,240
The bowl of sour chicken and bamboo shoots soup is the best.
538
00:40:41,240 --> 00:40:45,160
If you like this, I will get a refill for you later.
539
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:50,150
You must not do this. His Majesty said that he will spend time with you tonight.
540
00:40:50,150 --> 00:40:54,520
The kitchen will be very busy. I will only add to the chaos.
541
00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,060
Mistress.
542
00:40:59,060 --> 00:41:00,860
What is it?
543
00:41:01,910 --> 00:41:05,330
The House of Internal Affairs just sent words that, in the hospital,
544
00:41:05,330 --> 00:41:10,220
there was a little eunuch that handles the medicines called Manzi that admitted the crime.
545
00:41:10,220 --> 00:41:12,220
Admit to what crime?
546
00:41:12,220 --> 00:41:17,150
It's the ointment for Second Class Attendant Mei to apply on her face. When he was dispensing it,
547
00:41:17,150 --> 00:41:21,380
he accidentally stained it with Plumbago powder on the exterior side of the bowl.
548
00:41:21,380 --> 00:41:25,190
And, thus, created such a big disaster.
549
00:41:25,190 --> 00:41:28,840
This is not right. If it's on the exterior side of the bowl,
550
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:33,190
when Sulian used it, why was she fine but not when Second Class Attendant Mei used it?
551
00:41:33,190 --> 00:41:37,200
Manzi said that Sulian used the top portion. Hence, it was okay for her.
552
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:40,260
Whereas Second Class Attendant Mei used more of the stained portion.
553
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,420
How did the House of Internal Affairs handle this?
554
00:41:44,420 --> 00:41:48,180
They meted out punishments and could only get a few words from him.
555
00:41:48,180 --> 00:41:51,010
Hence, I'm here to seek your opinion.
556
00:41:51,010 --> 00:41:53,950
Older Sister, do you believe them?
557
00:41:53,950 --> 00:41:55,800
Do you?
558
00:41:56,330 --> 00:42:00,370
Sanbao. Go back to the House of Internal Affairs and tell them that
559
00:42:00,370 --> 00:42:03,340
one he has confessed, report to His Majesty.
560
00:42:03,340 --> 00:42:06,450
As for the rest, it's their business.
561
00:42:06,450 --> 00:42:08,570
What if they can't force anything out from him?
562
00:42:08,570 --> 00:42:11,880
If they can't still do it, he must still spit it out.
563
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,850
Beat Manzi with fifty strokes of the paddle, send him to jail and forget about the whole thing.
564
00:42:15,850 --> 00:42:18,680
Yes. I will do this immediately.
565
00:42:20,430 --> 00:42:24,240
Older Sister, can this be concluded this way?
566
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:29,090
This was done to harm Older Sister. This is a premeditation. If we don't investigate this...
567
00:42:29,090 --> 00:42:31,390
We wouldn't be able to investigate this, Hailan.
568
00:42:31,390 --> 00:42:35,580
If we pursue this, there will only be one conclusion. Manzi will commit suicide.
569
00:42:35,580 --> 00:42:40,440
Noble Consort can do this without leaving room for maneuver. I can't.
570
00:42:41,350 --> 00:42:46,200
But this is such a major upheaval. Even Her Highness and the Noble Consort are involved.
571
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:51,830
It's because Her Highness and the Noble Consort are involved, that's why we can't investigate this.
572
00:42:51,830 --> 00:42:56,890
Ever since you suffered that evening, you should know that the incident regarding the charcoals can't be investigated.
573
00:42:56,890 --> 00:42:58,810
Furthermore, His Majesty wasn't willing to investigate it.
574
00:42:58,810 --> 00:43:00,650
Older Sister. But...
575
00:43:00,650 --> 00:43:04,410
His Majesty was just enthroned. There must be peace in the harem.
576
00:43:04,410 --> 00:43:08,070
Since His Majesty has already shown his opinion, let it be then.
577
00:43:08,070 --> 00:43:10,960
Do we need to pursue this?
578
00:43:14,270 --> 00:43:22,270
