The Empress of China Episode 81
ai::bowo-subs
You two go inside
Yes, Yes
You two come with me
My Lady,
these minions from the Attending Office
have gone too far
They had the nerve to disturb Xianling Palace.
It's an expected
annoyance.
Xianling Palace
is east of Baifu Palace.
As long as they find that thing
in Lizheng Palace,
this would come to an end.
Congratulations my Lady
After tonight
I believe that slave will soon renamed
and Sujie will named Crown Prince
Zhang Yong of the Attending Office
requests to see Consort Xiao.
I do not know what the rules,
with his status,
which will be able to see my Lady
Come in!
My Lady, may I ask,
at Xianling Palace chamber,
what is this doing in here
Your Majesty
Notice Your Majesty.
the Attending Office at Xianling Palace,
under a bed in sleeping chamber
has found this doll
with needles stuck on it.
There is written
Zhaoyi Wu's birth date and time
But this this this
Consort Xiao maintains her innocence.
She wants to see you.
We have solid proof
What’s the point
Pass my order
to banish her to Yeting.
Compliance aims
Burn this thing
Yes
The related person and others,
they have to shut their mouth
Yes
Tonight,
considered as nothing happened in the Palace
Don't worry your Majesty
Everything it's all right, don't worry
We're one step short
The Empress is unscathed.
Please punish me, Daren
You have done your part
Perhaps the Empress luck has not run out yet.
But in the Palace.
spell casting is a capital crime
I was worried
you wouldn’t have a clean getaway.
If His Majesty was
angry enough to execute you.
I’d be too ashamed
to face your family.
It's ok, It's ok
Is shocking but I'm glad you're not hurt.
When I practice medicine,
I only care about money.
But you'd once
saved my Father's life
Otherwise I wouldn't
have risked my life for you.
Now, this is over.
I believe
we're squared away
Of course
How is Zhaoyi Wu
Zhaoyi Wu,
I gave her a sleeping potion.
She's fine.
She should be awake by now.
Back then when Zhaoyi Wu told us
to find a high skill physician
and a con artist,
I knew
you'd be perfect.
I think Zhaoyi Wu
only wanted a con artist.
Only because Sujie begged me,
or I would never be here.
What do you want
His Majesty would never forgive me.
Perhaps
I'll never see your Majesty again.
I asked Zhaoyi Wu to come here,
because something is
weighing heavily on my mind.
I believe only Zhaoyi Wu
can help me.
What is it
Please ask His Majesty
not to blame Sujie for anything.
And my two daughters as well.
In return
I know
something His Majesty has been hiding from Zhaoyi Wu.
If Zhaoyi Wu want to know,
just give me your word.
If there's anything His Majesty
doesn’t want me to know,
I'm sure he has good reasons.
Don't try
to come between us.
What if they can
prove your Majesty
has lied to you
At the birthday banquet in Zhongnan Mountains,
At that time
you had a miscarriage when you were still a Consort Dowager.
If His Majesty
suspected the Empress Wang,
why didn't he say anything
The day he made you a Zhaoyi,
you were supposed to be sent back to Ganye Temple.
Prime Minister Zhangsun
had assassins
waiting for you along the way.
If His Majesty didn't leak
the news of Prime Minister Zhangsun
how would he reacted so quickly
Everything His Majesty did
was done
to keep you in the Palace
and make you his concubine.
At first, I was jealous of you,
Why you can get
His Majesty's love
but I stopped
dwelling on it later on.
Because I know
His Majesty wanted you.
Your Majesty didn't want
to live in his Father's shadow.
He wanted
to make a statement with you,
Your Majesty could do
whatever his Father could do.
Obviously Zhaoyi Wu
can choose not to believe me.
If there comes a day
when you need to face this,
I hope you'll remember
I've prepared you for it.
Consort Xiao,
your end is near
I have one last piece of
advice for you.
Even if you can guess the beginning.
it doesn't mean you can guess the ending.
Just like back then,
everyone was convinced
I didn't return to the Palace
to give birth.
They thought
I'd killed my own baby
to frame the Empress Wang
and to earn your Majesty sympathy
so that I could forever
stay in this primal chaos Palace
instead of spending the rest of my life in Ganye Temple.
Even if I denied it vehemently,
would anyone believe me
Would you
If, as you have imagined,
I'm the one,
a cruel and heartless woman
capable of killing
my own child,
why would I care
about your children
If, as you have imagined,
If, as you have imagined.
You can’t do this. You...
I beg of you, I beg of you
What are you going to do
You can't do this
You can't!
They are His Majesty's children
You can't do this to them
If just now,
I had a tiny shred of sympathy for you
at this moment,
I feel nothing but disgust.
Consort Xiao,
give it up
Your life
has come to an end.
But Wu Mei Niang's life is
just beginning.
Wu Mei Niang,
I will haunt you even when I'm a ghost
May I be reincarnated as a cat
and you as a mouse,
so that I can forever tear you apart
I won't rest
and I will forever haunt you
Sujie,
Xuancheng, Yiyang
my children
My poor children
Consort Xiao,
How is she now
His Majesty
has banished her to Yeting.
I heard, Your Majesty was
so angry with her for trying to harm Zhaoyi Wu
that he said
until she turned to ashes, he would not
release her
It was so laughable that,
before she was sent to Yeting,
she swore she was innocent
and begged His Majesty
not to take things out on Sujie.
You're so brilliant, the Empress
If you didn't have the foresight,
we would have been in great trouble last night.
To keep this thing in Lizheng Palace
it's not safe
Xianling Palace
Give this to Lianzhi
Yes
Consort Xiao that lowly maid,
Because she had Sujie,
she had always wanted to replace me.
Only because Wu Mei Niang returned to the Palace,
she suddenly turned nice to me.
She turns hostile faster
than she can turn a page.
I wouldn't trust her that easily.
I knew what she was thinking.
She instigated me
to cast the spell
to hurt Wu Mei Niang,
so that she could turn me in
and
take over the Harem.
What kind of a fool does she take me for
I knew she put Lizheng Palace under surveillance.
Someone who’s too clever
by half deserves such an ending.
You're right, the Empress
After this Tang,
the Harem belongs to the Empress
Who knows about the future
The more I think about it,
the more I realized Prime Minister Zhansun was right.
What happened yesterday
was an excuse to prompt me
to resort to spell casting.
If Consort Xiao hadn't interfered
and caught my attention,
the one banished to Yeting
would have been me, Wang Yuyan, instead.
Wu Mei Niang, all your tricks
can’t hurt me.
Don't forget
I'm the Empress.
Notice the Empress,
Penglai Palace sent word
His Majesty was up all night
looking after Zhaoyi Wu last night.
He's suffered a wind illness
and fainted in Penglai Palace.
Hurry up!
Send for Ming Chongyan
Let's go to Penglai Palace
Yes
The imperial physicians are diagnosing for His Majesty right now
please wait a moment in the side hall, the Empress
In here isn't your matter
Get down
Yes
Go take a look
Find out
what's taking it so long.
Yes the Empress
Anding
Wu Mei Niang,
no matter how smart you are,
you didn't expect your child
to be in my hands.
Empress
Empress, I just found out
His Majesty is in the Imperial Study now.
He did not suffer a wind illness.
What?
Something is fishy in here.
We should go! Hurry
Come on
ai::bowo-subs
You just woke up, My Lady.
You shouldn't be
in a dark and dismal place like Yeting.
I'll serve you
tea to calm your nerves.
I'm fine
Is Anding awake
Don't worry, my Lady
The Princess in the side chamber.
Greeting my Lady
What is it
Notice my Lady.
the Empress
came to Penglai Palace just now.
My Lady
Anding
My child
Anding
Anding, Mother is here
Anding
Anding, Anding, Anding
No, impossible
My Lady! My Lady! My Lady!
My Lady
Anding
My Lady, My Lady, My Lady
Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician
Mei Niang
Anding
Mei Niang, the child is gone.
Let her go in peace.
Come on, give me the baby.
My Lady
Please let go
Don't miss the auspicious hour.
Let the little Princess go in peace My Lady
She was just fine,
how come
Who was
the last person to see the Princess
Is the Empress
The Empress?
The Empress
The Empress, It must be her
It must be her
She repeatedly
tried to hurt you.
Mei Niang
Now you have proof.
You must tell ninth brother.
This time
you mustn't let her off easy.
Do you hear me
Come on, Mei Niang
Give me the baby
Mei Niang
According to barbaric customs
this unity ring is a symbol of marriage
Looks like the Imperial son-in-law
has finally touched your heart.
Your Majesty,
I have examined the little Princess.
The little Princess was suffocated.
Here's the evidence.
Dai Qing,
are you sure this belongs to the Empress
Yes
The last person to see Anding
was she
Before she came over, she sent someone
to dismiss all
the maids on duty away
This
Your Majesty,
the Empress has been denying everything.
She said she'd never sent anyone over here.
and she said
it was Zhaoyi Wu
who used your headache as an excuse
to con her into coming to Penglai Palace.
Pass my order
Empress Wang colluded with Consort Xiao
in spell casting, she'll be reduced to commoner rank
and banished to Yeting.
I order them both
to commit suicide
and exile her mother and siblings.
Your Majesty, my Tang follow
the Zhou rites and Sui dynasty customs.
Deposing the Empress is a serious matter
Do you wish to discuss
No need!
If anyone
has the audacity to challenge me,
tell them to come directly to Ganlu Palace
and confront me face to face.
Old slave in compliance aims
I'll take my leave, Your Majesty
Wang Yuyan,
you let me down after all.
His Majesty has issued an edict directly to depose the Empress
But Father Daren
how can your Majesty do that
I've sent someone to ask the Empress.
She swore she didn't
kill Anding.
She thought Wu Mei Niang had frame up her
She said Wu Mei Niang was
strangling her own daughter.
She brought it upon herself
What's the use of saying this now
Where's the evidence
Would His Majesty believe her
She got away with the spell casting.
She should not have gone to Penglai Palace.
Princess Anding is dead.
Who can't stop His Majesty
from deposing the Empress.
His Majesty
wants to make Wu Mei Niang his Empress.
I bet that woman
is ecstatic now.
Why Gaoyang?
She adored you and treated you
like her own.
How could she do this to you
The marks on the neck
must be a misunderstanding.
Maybe, it's just a coincidence.
My Lady,
in 2 days,
you haven't eaten
You must eat something.
I have followed your instructions,
I took care of the marks
on the Princess' neck.
The Grand Court
didn't spot anything.
The Empress has been sent to Yeting,
and a month later
will be strangled to death with Consort Xiao.
Send someone to watch Gaoyang.
Find out the people
she hangs out with.
Last time, I told you
to check about the golden silk threads.
Did you find out
I've made the arrangements.
We should hear from them shortly.
My Lady mean
suspects Princess Gaoyang
Is it possible about this case today
the Empress is innocent
That mark
If that's the case,
maybe we should
tell His Majesty.
Gaoyang is like a sister to me.
Why did she do it
She has no reason to kill Anding,
unless she wants
to frame the Empress Wang.
A conspiracy.
It must be part of a conspiracy.
Bianji,
you should be happy too.
But why
Why
You haven't been
in my dreams.
Greeting Your Majesty
Mei Niang,
you haven't
eaten for a few days.
Let's go for a walk, okay
Mei Niang
Please
Actually,
when I first came
to the Palace,
everyone taught me
to be the most
vicious one in the Palace.
Because it's the only way
you can go on
to protect myself
and those I love.
But I didn't believe them.
I didn't believe what they say
I wanted to do it my own way
to protect the people I love
But she's dead
My beloved Anding
being killed
I'm right here
She was killed
Pheasant Slave, maybe
I shouldn't have
returned to the Palace.
Mei Niang
I...
shouldn't be with you.
I shouldn’t have given birth.
Otherwise our Anding
why would anyone kill her
Don't do that
Why?
Pheasant Slave, why didn't you
take the protection of our baby
Mei Niang
Why did Heaven
do this to my baby
Mei Niang
You didn't protect her
I forbid you to say that
Mei Niang,
I know how you feel,
your pain
and guilt.
ai::bowo-subs
I feel the same way.
Anding was my daughter too.
I'm just as heart-broken
as you are.
His Majesty didn't want to live in
his Father Emperor's shadow.
He wanted
to make a statement with you,
He could do
whatever his Father could do.
What is it
THANK YOU
Mei Niang
Mei Niang, what's wrong
At Gaoyang's birthday banquet,
I had a miscarriage,
you knew it
That picture of chrysanthemum brocade.
have a problem
That picture of chrysanthemum brocade.
