The Blue Feather guards are really elites They are well trained. Good job
Thank you, Your Majesty
lf Grandma's headache didn't act up l'll never learn to appreciate you
l'll come see you more often
There's something between you two! l just didn't know it
Welcome lmperial Guard Nip Dor-po's return to Dashilan
Do you need to make it so formal?
Father, Mother Son
What again?
This is the first time a Han works as an lmperial Guard. l feel so happy
What's the matter with you? Our son is home. Why do you still look unhappy?
lt's hard to survive in the government But he's joined it anyway
l hope he will have a bright future
lt's that shrew again
Miss Chi-ying wants to entertain her guests
She's holding a feast here She's ordered all the expensive dishes
Of course. Pak Hei Hall has acquired Chin Lei Hall. They are rich
Poor Boss Kwan, Chin Lei Hall's owner He died from anger
Madam Kwan is so sad that she doesn't want to see anyone
Goodbye, Mr Ma. See him out
Why are you staring at me? l've paid you
l know you're rich. But your money is dirty
What are you talking about?
Pak Hei Hall is so ruthless
You acquired Chin Lei Hall and caused Boss Kwan's death
You've stayed in the Guard Force for so long
How do you know what happened?
Why wouldn't l know? l'm an lmperial Guard l'm observant
l can tell easily. Just one look and l can tell all of your wicked deeds
Don't be cocky just because you're are an officer
Why shouldn't l? Your father is eager to bootlick officials like me
Aren't you going to bootlick me?
You are so unreasonable
Dor-po, uncle wants you to write a few words and hang them there
He said you're an lmperial Guard now
lf you write a few words it will help attract business
Don't be silly l won't flaunt my position around
Cousin, it's that strange monk again
Amitabha! l'm predestined to meet you
You are predestined to get this string of Buddhist prayer beads
Master, the beads are nicely made
How much are you asking? 1 tael? That's a bargain
Don't get it wrong. lt's 1 00 taels 1 00 taels?
These Buddhist prayer beads are made of prime agilawood
l went to different places to gather them
As l'm predestined to meet you l'll sell it to you for 100 taels
You are such a greedy monk. Go away
Master, you're a monk. But you try to sell the beads here. You're a cheat
Money is like dirt Fortune is like passing clouds
Why make a fuss about it?
First you were so greedy
Then you said you cared about nothing When are you telling the truth?
The truth is what you made it out to be
Ouch
Bravo
Your kung fu is so good Thank you
Your kung fu is so good even though you're so young
No wonder you are an lmperial Guard
l do admire you. Amitabha
Master, please wait
You want to buy the beads? The price is different for you
Stop the act. You pushed my back just now
When did l do so?
What do you mean you didn't? That's how you did it
When you gave me a push, l felt a stream of air going all over my body
l couldn't control myself at all
Actually you are an expert
l'm sure you can do more than this Please teach me kung fu
No problem
1 00 taels only, right? No, 1 ,000 taels
How can a monk be so greedy?
Why do you say so? You're an lmperial Guard Sixth Rank
You are going to get rich
You can even afford 2,000 taels not to mention 1 ,000 taels
You've got it wrong. l won't take bribes
l don't have 1 ,000 taels
l'll give you 1 0 taels
10 taels? You want to bargain? 1 0 taels? What can you learn with 1 0 taels?
Fine. You could've learnt kungfu in a year's time. Now, it'll take you 100 years
Master, don't toy with me anymore l'm sincere in learning kungfu from you
l now a tad bit from every school
l started learning kungfu when l was young The kungfu masters said l was gifted
l'm absolutely a talent
lf you don't teach me you won't have a successor
Say that again? lf l don't teach you l won't have a successor?
You sound so confident. Fine l'll see how talented you are
Thank you, Master
Wait. l haven't taken you as my protege yet
l just want to see how much potential you've got
So when will you teach me, strange monk?
When you return from the Guard Force come and see me at Cloudy Monastery
Fish, you've helped me that means you've helped Nip Dor-po
So you are blessed. You won't suffer the pain of getting killed in this life
Master, now l will teach your grandson all your kung fu to fulfill your wish
l hope l'm doing the right thing
Today is your first day at work
lncluding you all, there are 981 lmperial Guards in the Forbidden City
This is your first day on duty you will replace the old guards
l'll be in charge of your duty roster You will be split into 2 teams
One team is under me The other is under Officer Tai Shek
You will be in charge of security in the palace
You will patrol and guard the Four Gates
the lnner Chambers, the Front Court and the Twelve Palaces of East and West
Hall of Supreme Harmony, Mo Ying Hall Man Wah Hall, Three Southern Offices
Three Rear Palaces, Southern Study lmperial Garden
Those are the places where you'll work
You will pass the Stave at the gates 8 red staves will be passed every night
They are kept at Kuet Yau Gate
You'll pass 1 stave every 2 hours You serve a 1 2-day shift
During this period all the guards must stay in the palace
You will be on duty day and night
You can only go home after your shift is over
Forbidden City is a restricted area Every one of you will be given a badge
You must show it wherever you go so as to identify yourself
Do you understand? Yes, sir
lf so, we'll start assigning the jobs
You 5 will be under me
You're new to the job. You must be nervous But l always take care of my subordinates
You will help guard important locales in the Palace
lf you get recognition in the future you mustn't forget what l've done for you
Yes, cousin...Officer Tai Shek
Where will we be assigned to? Yi Ho, Muk Fung, Li Kai-cheung
you will be on duty at the lmperial Garden for the time being
Sir, where will we be assigned then? l will take care of you two for sure
Nip Dor-po, Yan Chak report to duty at the Lantern Depository right away
You will work a shift of 1 2 days
Who are you two?
Blue Feather guard Nip Dor-po Yan Chak
report to duty
There's so much dust here. l can tell they haven't been used for a long time
Look. This is the inventory of the Lantern Depository
lt's recorded more than 80 kinds of lanterns here
There are lanterns for all occasions - festivals, celebrations, offerings, etc.,
lndividuals have different lanterns to match their status in the palace
Aren't we only supposed to guard the Lantern Depository?
Why do we need to know so much about lanterns?
Your duty is important
They're all valuable items There are even fireworks and firecrackers
lf you make a mistake you will cause great trouble
You mustn't take it lightly. Understand?
Yes, sir
l heard that this old guard had offended Officer Po Chai years ago
Therefore he was made to stay here without a chance of getting out
He said our duty is important We can't take it lightly
But he's gone for a nap We've been standing here for 4 hours
l haven't even seen a fly pass by
God watches what we do. Just do your best
You can make a name even though you guard the Depository
We are Blue Feather guards, sixth rank
Now we have to stand outside the door? How can we face our family and friends?
We discharge our duty diligently We are clean and honest
Why can't we face our family and friends?
No one ever comes here
But two officers are on duty here today lsn't it interesting?
When was the last time a guard was sent here? Was it 3 or 4 years ago?
l really don't know
lf no one ever comes, why are you here? You mean you aren't humans?
How dare you. Of course they are men but not quite
Good day, eunuchs
l've worked 1 2 days in a row l can get a day off at last
This is the Sheung Moon House you often talk about?
Sheung Moon House is famous lt has a long history in the capital
You live outside the city. You've no family or friends in the capital
Why don't you move in so that we can look after each other?
No, thanks. l don't want to bother you But l don't mind coming here for food
Be my guest then
Hey, Dor-po
Father...Mother
You're home, son?
Hey son, is the palace big and beautiful? Did you see the royal consorts?
I...
l haven't seen you for just 1 2 days you've become so skinny?
lsn't life in the palace nice? Actually...
You must have met Emperor Hong Hei ls he very authoritative?
Well, l...
ls he your colleague?
You keep asking me questions Who shall l answer first?
Answer me first What is your assignment?
Hey, that's my question too Our duties are very important
We guard a very important place in the Forbidden City
We can't make any mistakes
Let me introduce you This is my good colleague Yan Chak
Nice to meet you
So you are Officer Yan Chak? Please take care of Dor-po
That's right Please don't say that
You're happy working there? Of course
We stayed at our posts everyday We enjoyed it a lot. Time flies
That's great. l just want you to be happy
Ever since you went to the palace a lot has happened in Dashilan
What's happened?
Ever since Boss Kwan's death his wife has become delusional
The doctor said she's deranged
What?
Dor-po, Madam Kwan dotes on you ever since you were a kid
You often went to Chin Lei Hall to play too She often treated you with haw flakes
lt's your day off. Pay her a visit
lt's the fault of Pak Hei Hall They got Boss Kwan killed
Now his wife has become deranged l'll visit her later
Father, make the 8-treasure duck for me
Madam Kwan likes that the most
Sing Yes
Ouch Be careful
Sorry
Madam Kwan, Remember me? l'm Dor-po
Madam Kwan?
l've brought you your most favorite 8-treasure duck of Sheung Moon House
Look. lt's so nice
l'll get you a bowl and a pair of chopsticks
Hey, how come you're here?
Why are you here? Madam Kwan is a decent woman. You dare to come see her alone?
Aren't you afraid people would gossip about it?
How can you say so? Madam Kwan watched me grow up
She's so nice to me. What's so surprising that l came to visit her?
But l find it odd that you are here
You are so nice to prepare medicine for her?
l wonder if you've put poison in it to cover up Pak Hei Hall's devious deeds
l can't help it if that's what you think Madam Kwan, use the medicine please
l don't want to
lt's good for you. Here. Take it. Be good
l'm not sick. l don't want the medicine
Let me
Madam Kwan, you can still take the medicine even though you aren't sick
lt will strengthen your body
Son, l've been waiting for you for years You're home at last?
You are Madam Kwan's son?
Are you deranged too?
3 years ago, Madam Kwan's son took the money and left
No one knows whether he's still alive
Fine. Pretend to be her son Ask her to drink the medicine
l can't just call her my mother
Madam Kwan, your son has really come home Say hello to your mother
Yiu-cho, it's really you? l miss you so
Yes, Mother. Be good. Drink the medicine
Drink the medicine
Who's she?
Oh, she's your daughter-in-law Say hello to Mother
Please drink it, Mother
You are a rich girl
l can't believe you'd be so condescending preparing medicine and food here for her
Does your conscience prick you that Pak Hei Hall has done her injustice?
l know you're prejudiced about Pak Hei Hall
lt's so sad that Madam Kwan is alone l only want to help her
What? You feel sentimental?
My mom passed away when l was 8 l don't even have a chance to serve her
l'm sorry l thought you got a hidden agenda
Forget it. Madam Kwan is in such a state l want to do whatever l can to help her
l really can't believe this. You're the young master of Sheung Moon House
An lmperial Guard, sixth rank You are so cocky
Yet you're willing to look after her You are really kind
She watched me grow up
Actually you are nice. You can cook too
Why does Pak Hei Hall do something like that?
l don't agree with my father's conduct
But he insisted on doing it l couldn't stop him
He wasn't like this before
About 10 years ago, he started making friends with the officials
Now it's even worse, he resorts to every means to flatter the high ranking people
l never knew the government could be so seedy until l became an imperial guard
You'd better tell your father not to make friends with the officials
He won't listen to me
lt's boiling over
You are an lmperial Guard Can't you lift off the lid?
You think an lmperial Guard isn't afraid of the heat?
Let me do it Let me
l can't believe you were so naughty as a kid. You even tricked your father
What's so naughty about tricking my father?.
l can't believe you were so brave to climb up a tree for the sake of a cat
Goodbye...Goodbye
Goodbye Take care
You still climb trees now?
lt's our famous lmperial Guard in Dashilan
l'm flattered you see my daughter home Please come in and have a cup of tea
No, thanks. Mr Cheuk l'm only a low ranking officer
There's nothing l can do for you
Goodbye
Take care
Chi-ying
They told me that you went to see Madam Kwan. Why do you still hang out with them?
Pak Hei Hall got her into this Shouldn't l pay her a visit?
You said before that you made friends with the Manchurian officials because of business
But why have you crossed the line?
You would hurt others for the sake of making money
l can't quit. Take Ngai Chun's case last time for example
l was investigated by the authority too l was lucky that l got off by paying them
This time lmperial Doctor Fu made me do so l really didn't have a choice
l don't want to listen to your excuses anymore
You've done so many wicked things You'd better watch out
Nip Dor-po
You've omitted a horse hoof here
You've also omitted several stitches for the eagle. No wonder you don't like it
l thought embroidery was something easy there's so much you've to know about it
You can't take things for granted
Take a look at Her Ladyship's embroidery lt's so well thought out and designed
Anyone will be bedazzled by it not to mention His Majesty
l didn't put much efforts into embroidering ''the mandarin ducks playing in water''
l'm not so competent as you said
But it's such an amazing piece of artistry
lmagine if you had put your heart into it everyone would fall under your spell
How come you talk so strangely today?
You are over sensitive
Kin-ching, you've spent so much effort in pleasing Prince Kung
You should focus on what you're good at
Embroidery isn't your forte Don't force yourself to do it
No matter how hard you try, you can never be Her Ladyship's match
That's true l won't bother Your Ladyship then
l'm sure you feel more troubled than l do right now
l don't quite catch you
There's a rumor that His Majesty will crown Lady Wai queen. You don't know about this?
l haven't heard about it
We've just learnt about it lt hasn't been confirmed yet
lf this is true, Lady Wai will be more arrogant and pompous than ever
Your Ladyship must spend more time pampering His Majesty
Don't waste your time on others
Here comes Her Highness
Greetings, Your Highness
At ease Thank you, Your Highness
Just now, you said something about spending more time with whom?
Your Highness, l learned that His Majesty wants to crown Lady Wai queen
l found it so unfair for Her Ladyship
So l told her to spend more time with His Majesty
lt's Lady Wai again?
ls this true, Your Highness?
l want to find out what's going on too His Majesty has become so unruly
Man Kwan, did His Majesty take it out on you because of the perfume incident?
lt was only a misunderstanding His Majesty didn't blame me for it
Was it really a misunderstanding?
l'm afraid someone stands to gain in this
Kwai-lun!
What do you mean?
Your Highness, when Lady Wai got the rashes
she accused Her Ladyship for hurting her on purpose
But Lady Kin-ching had the symptom too
lt goes to show the perfume and Tibetan musk shouldn't be used together
lt has nothing to do with Her Ladyship
But Lady Wai took advantage of the incident and accused Her Ladyship
The truth is known at last but His Majesty distances himself from Her Ladyship
Now he even wants to make Lady Wai queen
She is so conniving
Your Highness, it's just her guess There's no proof
l understand everything now Wo, let's go
Here comes Her Highness, the Empress Dowager
Your Highness
You still remember l'm the Empress Dowager?
l don't quite follow you, Your Highness
There's a rumor that His Majesty will make you Queen
l really don't know about this
You knew that Lady Man-kwan had nothing to do with the perfume incident
But you accused her before His Majesty How do you explain that?
Your Highness, l was the victim l just told the truth
l didn't mean to accuse Her Ladyship
You think l can't tell whether you are kind or wicked?
l've given you plenty of chances but you haven't cherished them
You are so calculating
You set Her Ladyship up time and again and undermined her in front of His Majesty
l didn't
You did. First, it was the matouqin then it was the perfume
Now there's even a rumor that His Majesty will make you Queen
You'd resort to any schemes just to become Queen
l'm really innocent
l never accuse people wrongfully
Many here in the palace see through your scheming
Even Lady Kwai-lun said so too Did she accuse you wrongfully too?
Your Highness keeps saying that you haven't accused me wrongfully
You've any evidence to prove l've done it?
l don't need evidence My eyes are the evidence
As you won't repent, don't blame me for being harsh on you
Lady Wai...
Here comes His Majesty
Grandmother, how's Lady Wai doing?
The lmperial Doctor is examining her
Greetings, Your Majesty At ease
How's Lady Wai doing?
Congratulations, Your Majesty Lady Wai is with child
Really?
l'll write her a prescription she needs more nutrition
Then both the mother and the baby will be fine
Thank you
l'll take my leave
Your Majesty Spare the formalities. You're with child
As His Majesty cares about you so much you must cherish it
You are with child now This is due to the blessing of His Majesty
l hope you will cherish His Majesty's love for you
You should know the priority all the more Don't make any mistakes
l'd be most pleased with you if you give birth to a son
l'll remember your teaching, Your Highness
l can't believe Lady Wai is so lucky l'm afraid she'll be more unruly in future
Maybe this is God's will
Please don't mind that, Your Highness
lf Lady Wai gives birth to a son it'll be a blessing for Qing
You're such a kind person You always think for others
and never about your loss
l haven't suffered any loss
l'm the lmperial Consort l've a chance to serve His Majesty
Your Highness is so fond of me as well lt's already a blessing for me
You are kind-hearted l won't allow you to suffer forever
Her position may be secured now
But if she does anything wrong in the future, l'll send her to the Cold Palace
The Empress Dowager is at odds with you
The old wretch has never liked me
lt's only a matter of time that she will deal with me
l told you to leave her alone
So what? lt's lucky that l bribed Dr Chung in advance
That old wretch can do nothing to me
But you can't cover it up forever
Of course l know that So l must keep the baby safe
l can't make any mistake so as to cause a miscarriage
But the doctor said you're weak You aren't fit for pregnancy
What if you can't keep the baby? You'd lose your bargaining chip
l'm afraid Empress Dowager won't spare you
lf so, l have other plans
Lady Kwai-lun is most hateful She smeared me before that old wretch
l will take revenge for sure
Lady Kwai-lun did so to help the Lady Man-kwan
l can help you out You should carry the baby well
My dear daughter, our future counts on him
You remember, My Lord? This fertility Guanyin figure was my dowry
Not long after we got married l had Po-tai
l want to give the figurine to the Lady Man-kwan
She can pray to Guanyin in her chambers
l hope she'll be blessed and get pregnant soon
l see. You are so nice to your cousin
Of course l am. lf Lady carries a baby son, she will be so arrogant
she'll be crowned Queen too
My cousin's life will become harsh
She's well educated. She's well nurtured
Do you think she's the right candidate for Queen?
Of course. lt'll be great if your cousin becomes Queen
l'll really feel relieved then
You think so too, My Lord?
Of course. She's your cousin We'll be closer then
My Lord, there's a letter from Officer Ngan Yuk-ming
inviting Your Lordship to Hanlin Academy
Thank you for coming, My Lord
You even wrote the radicals for Kangxi Dictionary. This is my honor
You're welcome
People say Your Lordship is well versed in Chinese scripting
May l take the liberty to ask Your Lordship to stay and give me advice?
Thank you for your compliment We can discuss about it
Thank you, My Lord
Seems that you are meticulous in terms of both manpower and procedures
in editing the Kangxi Dictionary
My Lord, let's look at this word peace
lf people can live in peace then everything will be fine
There seems to be an undertone in what you said, Officer Ngan
To be honest, my daughter Wai is spoilt She's candid in the way she talks
Sometimes she doesn't even know she's offended others
Lady Wai comes from a scholastic family She's clever and well nurtured
His Majesty loves her deeply
But she's speaks too frankly She has offended Lady Kwai-lun
She's remorseful now
l urge Your Lordship to tell Her Ladyship that my daughter feels sorry
Please forgive her l hope the two of them can live in peace
lt's common for women to quibble You shouldn't mind about it
l will talk to Lady Kwai-lun Like you said, we should live in peace
Thank you, My Lord
Officer Ngan, there seems to be a mistake in the explanation of a word
My Lord, please excuse me Go ahead
My Lord, something the matter?
You edit the Kangxi Dictionary personally? You peruse each and every word yourself?
Of course. By the order of His Majesty there can't be any mistakes
l must personally approve all the details before they get printed
l won't delegate the task to anyone
Strange monk, did l do it right just now?
You've already mastered the strike ''Pinching Flowers with a Smile''
You are such a quick learner You can master it so soon
Are you serious, strange monk? You mean l've already mastered it?
You've only taught me 3 simple strikes When will you teach me real kung fu?
This is real kung fu What?
You've potential, that's why you learn fast l really admire you
You charge me 1 00 taels for a strike You get 300 taels for 3 strikes
l just said you got potential How can a kung fu fighter be so inflexible?
You need to improvise and infuse what you've learnt. Come on. Give me a punch
l shouldn't
Again
See? Although there are only 3 strikes you don't just get 3 strikes
lt can be 9, even 27 strikes
As you have such potential l'll teach you a strike every 1 0 days
ln 3 months' time, you will become invincible in the Guard Force
By then, you will get a promotion and... become rich
l told you l work as an lmperial Guard not because l want to get rich
l won't be bribed l just want to serve the people
Has it ever crossed your mind that the government is corrupted?
You are who you hang out with Why get yourself involved?
Why don't you just leave?
Why are you are so prejudiced?
l can maintain my integrity amidst the filth and corruption
l've worked so hard to become an lmperial Guard. l won't give up easily
What is it this time?
Why are you digging a hole here?
This is the sea l want to fill it up with rocks
You want to fill up the sea with rocks? This is a puddle. Throw some pebbles in it
and it'll fill up soon
lf you really want to fill up the sea with with rocks, you should go out there
dump the rocks one by one into the sea to fill it up
But l'm sure you can never do it
l'm afraid the sea water will wash away my house and the mountain
The sea water will wash away your house and the mountain?
Look. Why don't you think this way? Here. This is the sea. That is the mountain
They are 2 separate entities Why can't you leave them alone?
You're right. This is the sea. This is the mountain. They're different entities
They don't interfere with each other
Actually, you are the sea the government is the mountain
Why do you insist on joining them?
All this talk just to persuade me not to work as an lmperial Guard
Let me put it this way. You're a monk
l'm an ordinary person l'm young and strong
You mean l'm old and weak l'll die soon, right?
l didn't say that. You said it yourself
What l want to say is l'm young and strong l have my dreams and ambitions
l work as an lmperial Guard as l truly want to serve the lmperial Court
Even if l become a high ranking official
l'll still be a high ranking official with integrity
You'll understand what l say when your life's in danger
Why won't l understand? You've told me so many things
By the way, there are really seedy dealings in the government
After joining the Guard force
l was assigned to the Lantern Depository to guard the lanterns
Now l see more lanterns than men
Well, it's easy to solve the problem Resign early
Flee early, right? l knew you'd say so. Forget it
l just want to vent my frustration
Anyway, l'll continue to learn kung fu from you. l believe l can make it
Let's call it a day. Goodbye
Someone's mother-in-law is hungry
Why don't you come when the meal is ready?
lf l had counted on you to cook for her she'd really starve to death
l got caught between the mountain and the the sea. That's why l was a little bit late
Look. l've bought food that shows my sincerity
By the way, you have a maid called Ho Yi Why don't you have her help you?
Madam Kwan recognizes you as her son and me as her daughter-in-law
Other can't get inside her house at all Do you want her to starve?
Well, l don't know how long l can play her daughter-in-law
Why? You've done a very good job l feel happy to be her so-called son too
l always get you to cook for me Hey, it hurts
Take advantage of me again l'll use a ladle or a knife next time
Just kidding
l don't like to clown around. lf you don't want
to help then don't come again
Madam Kwan is so miserable Her own son doesn't want her
That's true. Sometimes an adopted child is more filial
Right. Although l'm adopted, l pay my father's due respect
You are adopted?
My father said my parents died in a shipwreck when l was a child
He took me in his care as a favor to a friend. He treats me as his own daughter
my parents don't even have a tomb l can't pay them respect
l understand that
You do? Are you an orphan too?
No...Oh, we need to find Madam Kwan's son for her as soon as possible
l've already sent someone to do so
But before we find him, we're still her son and daughter-in-law
unless she makes you divorce your wife
Why would she do that? You've been a good daughter-in-law. You can cook so well too
She doesn't like the food l cook She either said it's too salty or too plain
She frowns whenever she eats the food l cook
lt has nothing to do with your skills
Maybe you don't know your seasonings? What?
Have you put seasonings in the soup yet? Not yet
Let me show you a trick lt's called ''all over the place?
You don't just put salt in it
Just Step back
Move further back. Grab some salt So much?
Of course you won't put all of it in You throw from a distance. Watch this
That's the way to do it?
Right. The portion that fell in just now is about right
Too bad it's all wrong What do you mean?
This is a pot of sweet soup, not salty soup
Sir, the lmperial Guards have barged in here without permission
Hanlin Academy is an important place for editing
Anyone who comes in without permission will be severely punished
Even lmperial Guards aren't exception
By order of His Majesty, your presence is required, Officer Ngan
By order of His Majesty, no one in the editorial room of Hanlin Academy
is allowed to leave
Everything in the Academy must not be removed
No one is allowed to leave with anything No one is allowed to amend anything
Whoever violates this amounts to contempt of His Majesty's order
Get the original draft of the dictionary
Your Majesty, in the dictionary edited by Secretariat Ngan
the treacherous word lies in the explanation of the word Qing
Qing is the opposite of obscurity To irradiate and to exterminate
lt means nothing is left
Secretariat Ngan edited the treacherous dictionary to smear the Qing Dynasty
He's incited people to turn against us He's unforgivable
Ngan Yuk-ming Your Majesty
l want to listen to your explanation
l'm grateful to Your Majesty l've harbored no treacherous intent
When l edit the dictionary l only explain the literary meaning
l have no intention to rebel
But the wicked minion accuses me wrongfully, Your Majesty
Your Majesty, please don't listen to this traitor's excuses
Naplan Mingchu, you always discriminate the Chinese people
Even though His Majesty wants to promote Manchu-Han harmony
you don't actually follow his instructions
l can't believe you would use such a scheme to set me up
Your Majesty, l'm innocent
Your Majesty must not show any mercy to a traitor like Ngan Yuk-ming
Officers, please stop arguing This is treason. lt's a serious offence
lt can't be dealt with lightly
His Majesty will of course deal with it meticulously
Ngan Yuk-ming, at ease
Thank you, Your Majesty
lf l find Secretariat and the others guilty
just because of the explanation of the word Qing
l'm afraid l'll repeat the mistake of starting a literary inquisition
like what happened in the previous dynasty
This isn't what l want to do
Your Majesty is absolutely right
lf Your Majesty is so merciful not to find Ngan Yuk-ming guilty
he will only cause greater trouble in the future
Mingchu, you need to calm down l'll find out what happened. Ngan Yuk-ming
Yes, Your Majesty
l order you to stop editing the dictionary for the time being
l'll make a decision after investigating the case
Yes, Your Majesty
