~Episode 23~
No matter what,
you have alraedy been found not guilty.
You should be happy, right?
I must quickly go and tell Auntie
about what happened.
She will be so happy that she will gain 3 pounds.
Go go go

I have compared the handwriting and thumb print.
I can confirm that it was personally written by Hua Tuo.
Do you believe that this is authentic?
So you are saying that Yun Ying was not murdered?
That she killed herself?
In between are some details that only the murderer would know.
This shouldn't have been made up.
I really don't believe that
Yun Ying could do something like this.
I originally didn't believe it too.
But the reaction of the poison from cousin's body when it was tested,
shows that she had only taken half a pill.
If he was the killer,
he wouldn't have reduced the dosage by half.
If mother is still worried about this,
I will send some men to go to Uncle's house and check.
And see if they can find out relevant evidence.
Your Uncle already lost his wit.
Don't go and disturb him anymore.
Yes.
Tell the public that Yun Ying died of heart pain.
And that what others said about her being murdered isn't true.
It was Physician Hua Tuo from the Royal Clinic
who has a grudge with He Tian Xin.
He made use of Yun Ying's sudden collapse,
to frame He Tian Xin on purpose.
After his crimes were found out,
Hua Tuo was afraid that he would be punished, and therefore killed himself.
Mother.
This is the last thing I can do for her as her aunt.
Don't tell that you are still opposed to it?
I dare not.
Okay
Before i blamed it on He Tian Xin
help me to reward her, as a sign of compensation.
Yes
Leave
I will take my leave
It's so festive.
To thank everyone,
I have reserved Zui Yue Restaurant today.
Good! Good!
Call all your friends.
And relatives.
And everyone you know. I'm treating.
Good Good!
Are you crazy? Where are you going to get all that money?
I'm treating but the Empress Dowager is paying.Why should we be modest about it?
Other than eating, you can also participate in the lucky draw.
Show your support. Show your support.
Good! There's also lucky draw!
Good good good! There's also lucky draw!
You leave first, I'm going to see my mother
Okay
Let's set off for Zui Yue Restaurant!
Mother
That day at the cell, didn't you say that
you will deal with me viciously after the murderer has been caught?
If you are not going to hit me, I'll do it myself.
Okay okay okay
Put it down, put it down.
They are celebrating for you, you should go now.
How can the guest of honour be absent?
Go
Go with me
I'm not going
Once i think about
how my daughter almost lost her life,
I cannot eat
when I see you being so unhappy.
Be more happy
I am not unhappy, I am just worried
How many things happened after you entered the Royal Clinic?
I am so worried and afraid for you everyday.
If I knew this was going to happen, I wouldn't have brought you up.
MotherIn the future it wont happen again
Future Future Even you said it
You said the word future lots of times
You know that I am no longer young
I cannot stand this kind of torture anymore. If it happens again,
I will be scared to death.
Do you know, at that time,
when you call me mom, I was afraid that you would never be able to call me that again.
Okay, Dont say anymore
You won't listen anymore.
Since you are already old enough
Do whatever you want to do
I can only pray to heavens to protect you.
I don't mind if my life becomes shorter.
Come in
Your Majesty what would you like for dinner?
You choose
Perhaps high quality ginseng chicken?
It can help you regain your vigour.
Fu Ling Xian Treasure (food name), can help calm your spirit down.
And
Your Majestywhat are you looking at?
Oh.
Come over and take a look
Something is not right here.
Didn't the Law Enforcement Department check the handwriting already?
Where do Your Highness think is not right.
There are 2 areas. Take a guess.
I can't guess at all.
Letters written in the palace,
have fixed paper sheet sizes.
But look
This sheet of paper has been cut before.
Why does it need to be cut?
Was there something else behind?
Furthermore, this Letter of Will,
didn't mention the writer's name anywhere.
This is not reasonable.
Didn't they deduce that Hua Tuo committed suicide
because his room was locked?
At first glance, that is the case.
But at the crime scene, I found out that there's a small hole above the window.
Maybe someone created a mechanism.
Hua Tuo could have been killed first, then the crime scene was set up.
That way, the murderer can commit a closed room murder and blur our senses.
There should be someone there.
It's just that there isn't any sign of struggle at the crime scene.
Then this culprit, must be someone Hua Tuo knows.
If that's the case, Hua Tuo had an accomplice.
Perhaps it may not be an accomplice.
Then Hua Tuo would have been the scapegoat.
That time after the earthquake, when Xiao Tian participated in the disaster relief,
she met an assassin who used strange weapons.
To prevent his identity from being exposed,
he poisoned himself to death.
Are both incidents connected?
I can't say exactly.
Moreover, their plans are so secretive.
An organisation must be responsible for these incidents.
Your Majesty You have to be careful
The drastic reform actions you made,
might have ruined benefits that some people have.
Perhaps, their target is Your Majesty.
Yi Rou, thank you for your concern.
But recently, you have been getting too close to me.
Is Eunuch Li happy?
Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern.
Your Majesty dont move
There is something on your face
What thing?
Xiao Tian The Emperor had something on his face
Elder Brother You are already this old
And you still didn't notice that?
Why did you come here?
I came to thank Elder Brother for the reward.
You don't have to. It was the Empress Dowager's order.
Oh yeah, wait and eat with us
Is there anything you like to eat? You can tell her.
Xiao Tian What would you like to eat, I'll prepare it for you
No thanks I already ate at home
Amazing amazing amazing!
I saw Octopus Girl
Mister Zhang who is Octopus Girl?
You dont know? Its Grand Secretary Zhao's daughter Zhao Xiang Ning
Emoress Dowager, Secretary Zhao and his daughter requested to see you.
Invite them in immediately.
Secretary Zhao, please enter.
Secretary Zhao.
Empress Dowager, I've brought my daughter to see you.
Empress Dowager.Okay, Secretary Zhao.
Get up and talk.
Thank you Empress Dowager
Come sit down
Is there any matter?
My daughter heard that your appetite hasn't been good.
I have specifically chose some appetizing tonics
as gifts for you.
Excellent.
What I made for Empress Dowager are
supplementary lotus, refreshing and reduce chances of heat stroke;
Flower buds for tea, appetizing and a fine remedy;
Aromatic lotus seeds, to help you sleep more soundly;
Lotus core and stamen, clears your vision and calm your spirit;
Jade lotus roots, to improve your respiratory system.
Lotus...
Lotus... Lotus...
What's wrong with the lotus?
Xiang Ning deserves to die
This morning, daddy just gave me the notes.
I didn't have time to memorise it properly.
If you talk this way, your father will lose face.
If I can't remember, it's my problem.
It has nothing to do with my father.
That means you didn't come to see me out of your own will?
For me to come pay respects to you,
Of course, I wanted to come.
But if you want me to memorise what the lotus' uses are,
then I am unwilling to do so.
Aiyoh.
Grand Secretary, your child is so interesting.
Empress Dowager is too kind.
If you don't mind,
Please allow Xiang Ning to stay in the palace for a few days.
So that she can chat with you and relieve your boredom.
Okay. It will be great.
Hurry Hurry and thank Empress Dowager
Hurry go
Xiang Ning thansk Empress Dowager
Let's go out for a stroll.
Okay.
Let's go. Your humble servant will send you off.
Let's go look at the flowers.
Empress Dowager.
The weather is so nice today.
It's so delightful to be out here for a walk.
I'm happy just to see you.
Empress Dowager, are you tired?
I'm fine. Look.
This year, the flowers are blooming well.
Empress Dowager, have some tea.
Come
Eat a fruit
Thank you Empress Dowager
This tea has been specially brewed by me.
Really
Whats wrong Empress Dowager
Just playing a prank on you.
Empress Dowager, you are so bad.
Not bad.
Godfather
Secretary Zhao, this creature.
He is a sly fox.
The last time, the selection wasn't successful.
Now, he has sent his daughter to the palace again.
Obviously, he is paving his daughter's future
by taking advantage of the Empress Dowager's low spirits.
One He Tian Xin is already problematic.
Now, there is another Xiang Ning to reckon with.
Lass, you're being attacked from the front and rear.
You must be more careful.
What is it?
Empress Dowager is aging very quickly
Her body is not as healthy
And is starting to believe in
ghosts, gods and whatever.
You
Do you understand?
Godfather Yi Rou understands
But you should see how you can handle this.
Okay.
Teacher, you are already an adult.
And still playing with dolls?
This doll was handmade by my mom.
When I was young,
we were poor and didn't have money to buy toys.
Mom made this for me.
Oh.
Why are there so many holes here?
That? Thats when i was younger
I used it to practice acupunture.
Teacher, look.
There is such a big hole here.
Why didn't you patch it up?
I'm bad at needlework.
It will tear off again after a few days.
Pass it to me to patch it up then.
I guarantee that I'll do a good job in patching it.
Just like new.
But you must be careful
Don't damage the doll.
My Mother gave that to me
Yes, teacher.

Ling Chun.
Lady Mo.
What are you holding?
Take it out for me to see
Don't you know that it is taboo to own a figurine or doll in the palace?
This doesn't belong to me. It's my teacher's.
I saw a hole in it
and wanted to patch it up.
Lady Mo, please don't be angry.
If you want to punish, just punish me instead.
This doll,
<br<when my teacher was young,
her mom gave it to her.
She used it for acupuncture.
Please don't confiscate this.
Get up.
Yes.
Keep this properly.
This time, I'll take it as if I haven't seen anything.
But you must be careful.
Don't let anyone see this.
Thank you, Lady Mo.
Go then.
Finally, I can come out and take in fresh air.
I really don't understand my dad.
Why did he send me to the palace?
He made a person like me take strolls and chat with the Empress Dowager.
I must listen to her complaints too.
I'm so frustrated.
Miss, please tolerate it for a few days.
Wait after a few days have passed.
then tell the Empress Dowager that you miss home.
Return home? It will be even more boring.
Why not this way?
Let's sneak out to play.
To Jiang Nan. How about it?
If old master finds out, he will be very angry.
I just know that you have no guts.
Stop
Aiyaa
Who is this
Isnt it our great hero Mister Zhang
Why are you so free when you are an official?
Came out to rear pigs?
What about you then? Can you do it if I asked you to?
You! Stupid eunuch.
Aiya

Everybody already know about this.
Recently, I am learning martial arts.
Why don't you show me how it's done?
And I can pick up a few moves along the way.
You think I'm a street performer?
Da Fu, show her your moves.

Ming Qing let hurry and find Empress Dowager

Okay Miss

So what if I'm messing with you?
I want to see if Empress Dowager will listen to you or me
Wait.

Come in.
Ling Chun, the department in charge of clothings is short of people.
Lady Mo asked you to go and help.
Oh.
Okay.
Let's go.
Want me to go and serve Octopus Girl?
There're so many palace maids here, why should I go?
Xiang Ning told Empress Dowager that she wanted you.
Did you offended her again?
She was the one who came to look for trouble with me.
Xiao San, can't you just leave her alone?
But I didn't bother her.
Elder Brother, don't you know?
Octopus Girl is really unreasonable. And it's not just one instance.
But Empress Dowager has already told me.
I can't disobey her.
Okay,
Xiao San.
Just go there for a few days.
I'll find an opportunity to tell the Empress Dowager to recall you back.
Just take it as doing me a favour.
Octopus Girl, just me if you are going to take revenge.
Don't use such despicable tricks.
Stupid servant. Mind your manners.
That's how I talk.
If you are not happy, just change to someone else.
Ming Xing, go see if the Empress Dowager is awake.
Yes.
She has already woken up and changed her clothes.
Okay.
Want to learn kungfu, right? I'll teach you.
I'll teach you.
Yo.
You are willing to teach me now?
What Da Fu Ultimate Skills? What Die To Turn Immortal?
But I don't have the interest and don't wish to learn now.
What do you want then?
I'll do whatever I want.
Just do whatever you want. Who cares!
Ming Qing.
Let's go buy some cosmetics.
But I can't judge the quality.
That's your problem. How should we commoners know?
Ming Qing, go see if the Empress Dowager is awake.
Yes, Miss.
You don't need to do that.
She woke up and is using the toilet.
Let's go.
Teacher, I have already patched it up.
I even gave her a new dress.
Thank you, Ling Chun.
You don't have to thank me.
I haven't thank you yet for teaching me medicine.
Teacher, does this looks nice?
Very nice.
If you like this, I'll make another dress in the future.
Physician He, there is a sick patient.
What's wrong with you?
My head hurts.
Come, take your time. Be careful.
Teacher, teacher.
Teacher, you should keep this first.
It's taboo to own dolls in the palace.
What rule is that?
It's just a doll for playing.
Teacher, just listen to me.
There are a lot of rules in the palace.
Wait till no one is around before you take it out.
Why is it taboo to own a doll?
There are so many rules.
Come, take your time, Empress Dowager.
Slowly.
Empress Dowager, the tearing of the prayer beads,
is it the Goddess of Mercy trying to indicate an omen?
Could it be bad geomancy?
Could it be that someone is doing a curse on you?
Miss, it's done.
Turn around and let me take a look.
Ming Qing, go see if the Empress Dowager is awake.
She's already awake.
Have you laughed your fill?
If you have, let's call it a day.
Go see if the Empress Dowager is awake.
Okay. Don't know if the Empress Dowager is awake?
Octopus Girl, have you had enough fun?
No way.
Come take a look. Beautiful or not?
Come. Come take a look. Beautiful or not?
Come and look! Eunuch turned into a beauty!
Go. Quick.
I'm warning you.
Even if you beat me to death, I'll not go in there.
Then, where do you want to go?
Don't think that I don't know what you are up to.
Even if you beat me to death, I'll not go in there.
Ming Qing.
Go check if the Empress Dowager is awake.
Okay.
You,you,you! You are overbearing.
Still not going?
Come, everyone, take a look.I'm not going.
Look at the new maid I got.
So how? Beautiful?
So how? Nice to look at?
Go. My new maid.
Don't laugh. Stop moving.
Is it funny? Go away.
Xiao Tian, this is my new maid.
Go away.
Is he beautiful?
You eventually saw me.
I'm warning you.
I'm doing this just because of Elder Brother.
If you are so capable, go look for the Empress Dowager.I don't want to play with you anymore.
You dare?
Ming Qing. Go see if the Empress Dowager is awake.
Treat you to a bun!
You! Stay there!
My brilliant reputation!
Stop there. Go after him.
Quickly run.
Let's go. Let's go in.
Why are you looking at me like that?
I'm not used to seeing you in women's clothes.
Don't say that you are not used to it.Even I'm not used to it.
You did that to Second Brother?
He deserved it. Who asked him to bully me.
I purposely asked the Empress Dowager
to get him to serve me.
Second Brother likes to play around but he's actually a good man.
Why are you saying this? It was hard for me to enter the palace.
In the future, if I'm bored, I'll look for you to play.
I'll welcome you.
You have helped me before.
I don't know how to thank you.
You want to thank me? It's easy.
Be my maid, okay?
Be friends instead. How can I be your maid?
Miss Zhao. I really treat you as my friend.
If you don't have this intention in mind,
then we can be on the opposite sides.
I was only joking with you.
Why are you so serious?
Don't address me as Miss Zhao in the future.
Just call me by my name.
Then, call me Xiao Tian then.
Okay.
Enter.
What are you trying to do? Haven't you played enough?
There's an Octopus Brother here.
What Octopus Brother? Search now.Yes.
Search what? What are you searchng for?
What are we searcfhing for?
As ordered by Eunuch Li,
I will search the rooms in the Harem Chamber.
To see if anyone owns taboo objects.
So you want taboo objects?
Wait a moment.
I don't know if this is classified as one!
Bring it back to your room to chase away mosquitos.
Actually, you should be checking your boss.
He is the palace's most taboo object.
You! What did you say?
Right. There's more.
I have a big underpants here.
I don't know if you want to take a look at it.
You are so shameful! So shameful!
Search now.
Search the room.Yes.
Search thoroughly.
Don't miss any corners. Search!
Search!
Gently, don't damage it.
Go in and search.Yes.
LIng Chun.
Tell Xiao Tian to hide the doll.
Yes.
Teacher, teacher.
Teacher, bad news.
Teacher, teacher.
Teacher, bad news.
What is it?
Eunuch Li is checking for taboo objects.
He sent men to search the rooms
and will be here soon.
Teacher, where is your doll?
I've already keep it. It shouldn't be that bad.
No, it will be found.
You must burn it.
How can I burn it?
Can't I just hide it?
No, no.
They are searching thoroughly this time.
They won't miss anything. It will definitely be found.
Then, just tell them that my mom gave it to me.
No. No.
Teacher. If they find the doll,
not only will it be burnt.
Furthermore, you will taken away for questionings.
Maybe you will even by punished.
It's so sudden. Where can I hide it?
Teacher.
Teacher. Do it quick.
They are coming soon.
If you can't hide it, just burn it.
Let me think about it.
Teacher,
hurry up.
I know of a hiding place.
Teacher.
Elder Brother.
Elder Brother, are you in?
Miss Tian, why are you here?
I was looking for Elder Brother.
His Highness will be back soon.
Why don't you wait for him here?
Forget it. Since he's not here, I'll leave first.
Little ones, search thoroughly!
Search every single corner!
Search every bottle and flask carefully!
Eunuch Xi, how can you just mess things up?
We are abiding to the order to search.
Don't make trouble. Stand at the side to watch.
Hurry! Flip that thing over!
Are you searching or tearing the place apart?
Tearing the place apart?
You just gave me an idea.
Men. If you can't find it, tear the room apart.
Tear the room apart and search.Yes.
Hurry up, hurry up.
You said that the doll is in He Tian Xin's room.
Why couldn't they find it then?!
It was I who instructed Ling Chun to
to tell He Tian Xin to hide the doll.
You dare to do such thing?
Huh?
When Miss Yun Ying was harmed,
we had all the evidence we need.
But the Emperor still didn't believe it.
He Tian Xin is the killer.
Rather than us saying there is a problem,
we should leave it to the Emperor to start suspecting things.
What are you saying?
There's a place in the palace where we can't search.
The place that He Tian Xin usually goes to,
there is only one place.
That must be the Royal Study.
If you hide the thing in the Royal Study,
who would dare to search there? You?
There is no need to search. We only need to tidy up.
Haiyah.
If you were to find that thing,
can you prove that it belongs to He Tian Xin?
There is a palace maid called Ling Chun. She can prove it.
What if she doesn't say?
If she doesn't, we will torture her.
What if she still doesn't talk then?
He Tian Xin is soft hearted. If we torture Ling Chun instead,
She will definitely admit it.
Haiyahyahyah.
My god daughter is now experienced.
The way you conduct things is strict and confidential.
Now, even your Godfather can't touch you.
I am only doing things the way you would.
Act according to logic.
We are now considered as family.
Next time, before you want to
start your brilliant plotting,
tell me first.
Don't keep me in the dark.
See what happened today at the Harem Chambers. I made such a big fuss,
they didn't even find anything.
Do you think I will feel good this way?
Godfather, please calm down.
I only thought of the most crucial thing at the last moment.
That's why I couldn't inform you in time.
Please forgive me, godfather.
Get up.
Yes, godfather.
Stay here first.
I'll go over to the Emppress Dowager's to take a look.
Godfather, be careful.
Interesting.

Deluded fool.
Thanks for watching!
Where do you think you are going?
Don't think that I don't know what you are up tp.
I'll not see Xiao Tian even if you beat me to death.
