Chronicle Of Life
Episode Thirty-four
Your Majesty, your tea.
Your Majesty.
Eunuch Chang, I'll do it, I'll do it.
Xiao De Zi!
You don't need to fight to do everything.
Yes, Your Majesty. I promise to tell him.
His Majesty's needs in here for meals, incense, tea,
personal attire, bedding and other personal items
I promise no matter what, I will still be most cautious with.
Why did we promise to be responsible for preparing these herbal medicines?
These are all medicines to cure and eliminate nsect poison.
You promised to prepare it for His Majesty, right?
Greetings to Your Majesty!
- Wishing Your Majesty good health!- Please rise.
Your Majesty, why have you come?
Actually, since I'm not by your side, I let you get overly worried about me.
If you worry too much... you will also have early wrinkles.
So I've decided,
I will stay here to let you come to take care of me.
The need for meals, bathing, washing of face and mouth rinses, personal clothing,
I'm letting all of you to cautiously take care of me.
- But... - You can only say,
Ling Lang follows your orders.
Your Majesty, it's late. You should be in the imperial court at this time.
I know.
Today, at what time you finish with the imperial court?
Today, there are not many matters. It shouldn't be too late.
Is it possible for once to just immediately come back here from imperial court?
Ling Lang
Recently, did you have something worrying to you or not?
Why are you feeling uneasy?
I'm only thinking of Your Majesty.
If you are thinking of me, of course I feel happy.
Remember, if there is anything (worrisome)
you must certainly tell me.
I don't have any matters.
I just wish to see Your Majesty every moment and every second.
Silly girl. I'm leaving.
Sending off Your Majesty.
Greetings to Grand Empress Dowager.
- No need for formality.- Thank you, Grand Empress Dowager.
Has His Majesty visited you since he's been back?
No.
Then, have you gone to see him?
His Majesty is laden with state affairs.
I should not bother him.
Please sit here, Grand Empress Dowager.
- You may also sit. - Yes, Your Highness.
Chen Xiang.
Almond jelly?
I'm very lucky today.
His Majesty won't eat it, but it's good for me.
How could that be. I made this especially for you.
You are so thoughtful.
Very good.
What's inside?
- White sesame seeds.- White sesame seeds ?
Mix almond and sweet rice flour.
Then add curdled milk.
Put a layer of white sesame seeds that were first soaked in wine.
It has a strong taste when you eat it.
Almond jelly is really very good.
It nourishes the lungs and stabilizes respirations.
How do you make it?
Teach Su Mo'er so she can learn it well.
It's actually not hard.
First, boil the mixture of sweet rice and almond flour in water.
When it's chilled, add in curdled milk.
Put a layer of white sesame seeds on first.
Then, how do you treat the white sesame seeds?
It's best if you soak them in wine first.
To bring out a nice chewiness.
Second, it can refresh the blood and coloring. It can help the Grand Empress Dowager stay ever so healthy.
This almond jelly is quite different from any other.
Where did you learn this?
My mother taught me.
Your mother? Then your mother is quite handy.
She even gave birth to such a diligent and wise daughter.
Chen Xiang.
Why do you suppose Grand Empress Dowager asked about making almond jelly?
Of course,
it's because she thought it was delicious.
I sure hope so.
Consort Hui and Wei Lin Lang can both make that almond jelly.
Both use white sesame seeds.
And both soaked the sesame seeds in wine.
It is too much of a coincidence.
Grand Empress Dowager, if you wish to find out why,
you should summon each of them.
And just ask them the reason.
No need to startle the snake by hitting the grass.
How about this,
I'll let you take care of it.
Wei Ling Lang, before she entered the palace,
exactly who was she, I must know.
Lady Ning, it's nice out today.
Why not let me assist you in dressing up and going for a stroll together?
I don't want to go.
- Yuan Er.- Yes, ma'am?
Wrap up these items
and find a eunuch who has palace exit privileges.
Have him take these items to my mother.
Shouldn't you make your greetings when Consort An Ping is in plain sight of you?
Lady An Ping.
Usually you are full of spirit.
Why then are you looking like a rooster with its tail feather plucked?
What's wrong? Hasn't His Majesty been summoning you for bed service lately?
I heard he summons her,
but it's more about how she goes in and how she comes out.
His Majesty hasn't even touched her once.
Remarkable. So now in the harem,
we have Consort Ning being such a chaste mistress.
How comical.
Look at what you are.
How come still so haughty.
You're just a cheap servant with a false sense of propriety.
Chin Ying, let's go.
Yin Si
What is this?
This is our future child's name.
You don't like it?
I think this name is very good.
In the future,
he will be a great handsome man.
A child with both martial and scholarly talents.
I really hope to see him very very soon.
As one grows old, you can't sleep no matter what.
As the old saying goes, sleep early, arise early and the reaper will leave you alone.
Grand Empress Dowager, that is a good habit for a long life.
Isn't that Your Majesty?
At this time and from that direction, why is he coming out from Chu Xiu Palace?
His Majesty, these last few days
is already residing in Chu Xiu Palace.
How extremely outrageous!
This Consort Wei is becoming more and more uncontrolled.
But I need some of those things for a few days.
The other imperial consorts all have them. Why not I?
We don't have any more available.
But if you don't believe me, I can't do anything about that either.
I'm in charge of this entire allotment.
When was this practice started?
Several days ago I hadn't even heard of it.
Did it just fall from the sky?
Consort Ning, let's not deal with them anymore.
Why don't we go back?
- Consort Wei! - Please stand up.
What are the items Consort Ning wishes to have?
Consort Wei! Consort Ning doesn't want any other
but the five-colored pumpkin jar.
Consort Ning! You have to quell your anger.
Who are we to be allowed to be pampered now?
- What do you mean?!- I...
You also know that His Majesty didn't like me, so are you here to make fun of me now?!
- No Ma'am!- You get out!
Yes, Ma'am.
What are you doing here?
You said you would like this one.
I just came to give you this.
I don't want your things! You take it back!
Hua Zhu.
Behaving in this manner will only make yourself more and more unhappy.
I'm not happy?
If I'm not happy isn't it all because of you?!
So I beg you, I also don't want you to appear in front of me again, alright?!
- Hua Zhu!- You get out!
Get out!
Go!
Consort Ning! Just a moment ago a message came from outside the palace
saying that Consort Ning's mother
has passed away.
Mama!
Mama,
your daughter is not filial.
Letting you suffer so many hardships.
After you pass on from
this world,
I won't even have one close relative.
I kept it all inside and served her for so long.
Helping her in every way.
But now she hits me? You tell me, what kind of mistress is that?
If His Majesty doesn't see her, she's just a useless thing.
Will you serve her again in the future then?
Lady An Ping flattered me saying I was thoughtful and smart and then she asked me to come serve her.
Who would still serve her? Only to get bullied every day.
You lowly servant!
You dare to bad-mouth your mistress behind her back?
Let's see if I don't shred your mouth today.
What mistress?! You're just another slave from Xin Zhe Ku!
Who knows how soon His Majesty might send you back there.
Oh by the way, my mistress is Lady An Ping now.
Timing & subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt team@Viki
Although you and I have never met,
you are Hua Zhu's mother,
so you are kin to me also.
Please rest peacefully.
You must watch over Hua Zhu.
So she remains safe and peaceful in the palace.
Hua Zhu.
Who needs your caring? How is my mother linked to you?
How did you become hurt?
I don't need you to care.
Hua Zhu...
In this world,
you still have me.
I am your family forever.
Why? Why did you have to do that?
Hua Zhu,
I'm sorry.
Lament me and hate me. It's all fine.
I hate you. I hate you to death.
Hua Zhu, I hate myself too.
Is there a way for you to forgive me?
I won't forgive you. Not ever.
Sir, are you better?
I'm fine.
When His Majesty finds out, he will be very happy.
By the way, where is that petty eunuch who delivered the boots that day?(Petty - a rank)
He was flogged 20 times and exiled from the palace.
Go find out where his home is. I plan to go see him. Yes, Sir.
Yes, Sir.
Your Majesty,
I'll help you tidy your hair.
Your Majesty.
General Tu Hai is waiting in front of Qian Qing Palace with the matter of Green Banner Army selection.
I'm on my way there now.
Wait for my return.
Walk slowly, Your Majesty.
What is this?
Replying to Consort Ning, these are from Consort Wei of Chu Xuo Palace.
She sent this delivery of ointments and tonic.
With the message, that if Consort Ning treats the injury on her forehead
with these, there won't be a scar.
Who wants her stuff. A false person with a false heart.
Toss them all out.
Wait.
Leave them here for now.
Wait.
Where are you going?
De Gong Gong,
I left something behind at Chu Xuo Palace I need to go fetch.
Hold off on that.
His Majesty wishes to reward General Tu Hai with a yellow stallion coat. You can go get it from Si Zhi Ku.
Yes, Sir.
Do you think I look pretty today?
You used the new powder today so you look especially pretty.
Too bad I've got this bruise on my forehead.
Or else I'd surely be prettier than Ling Lang.
After midday, the sun in the back is stronger than in the front.
Lin Lang? Lin Lang!
Where did everyone go?
I'll wait here then.
So ugly.
Does it hurt?
It's nothng.
Go see why Lin Lang is being so tardy.
Yes, Ma'am.
Greetings to Consort Wei. Consort Ning awaits you.
Hua Zhu?
Hua Zhu! Hua Zhu! Get help. Fetch the Imperial Doctor.
Lin Lang . . .
What's happening to me?
H-How come it's so dark?
Am I dying?
You won't die. The Imperial Doctor will arrive soon.
I can't wait anymore.
This is good too.
If I die...
my mother won't be lonely anymore.
You won't die.
I won't let you die.
Don't be afraid.
Lin Lang... do you think I look pretty today?
Pretty.
Prettier than you?
Yes.
You were always prettier than me.
That's true.
I've always been prettier than you.
Among the four of us...
I am...
- the prettiest.- Yes, yes!
Since you said that...
I will... I will forgive you then.
Hua Zhu!
Hua Zhu! Hua Zhu!
Open your eyes!
Hua Zhu!... Hurry!
Hurry! Hua Zhu.
Hua Zhu! Help!
Help!
Sir, I found out
that eunuch lives here.
Sir Nalan?
Sir Nalan.
Rise.
I came to ask you about that poisonous worm.
Back then, I was careless.
It was humid and I was worried,so I took the boots out to dry them.
I didn't expect a poisonous worm to harm His Majesty.
My crime deserves death.
Think about it more.
Before that day, did someone go to Duan Ning Pavilion?
And touch His Majesty's wardrobe?
No.
Did you think about drying the boots yourself, or did someone remind you of it?
Oh... I remember.
Someone did indeed remind me.
- Who? - It was Eunuch Chang Qing.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
How is she?
Your Majesty, Consort Ning has already left this world.
How can it be so? What happened?
Replying to Your Majesty, Consort Ning died by poisoning.
Your Majesty, Consort Ning was fine a moment ago.
Someone dares to bring poison into the inner palace?
Little De, give Consort Ning a good and proper send-off.
Yes, Sire.
Before this matter gets a thorough investigation, no one is to speak of it.
Yes, Sire.
If it were me, I must marry the current Emperor.
I'd be a mistress in charge of the back palace.
No one would dare to bully me then.
Lin Lang, it's just you and me now.
If we don't help each other, in this palace,
how will we survive?
I clearly am very jealous of you,
but I have to pretend I'm a close sister of yours.
Because that's the only way His Majesty pays me any attention.
It took me so long to get to this place today.
Why did you have to do that?
Timing & subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt team@Viki
It's you!
Yes, there's poison on the comb. I need to dispose of it.
It was you who killed Hua Zhu.
She asked it upon herself. Who else is there to blame?
It's a human life!
How can you speak of it so lightly?
How many people must you kill before you're satisfied?
As long as Xuan Ye is alive, I won't stop.(Note: Against protocol to call the Emperor by his birth name.)
You are no longer the Asihai I know.
You are a monster.
Greetings to Consort Wei.
You tell me, is it good or not?
Very good. Of course.
Then give me a piece too.
I want to check on a person.
Who?
Chang Qing.
You clearly could have left back then.
Why did you stay?
I couldn't part from His Majesty.
Lin Lang... you are the same as when you were young.
You can not lie.
I'm not lying. You're thinking too deep.
Who exactly is Chang Qing?
Who are you to him?
Chang Qing is just Chang Qing. No part of me.
I know he saved you before and you're indebted to him.
However, I suspect every action he takes has something unsavory behind it.
No. Not possible!
The poisonous worm in His Majesty's boot... probably was his doing.
You don't have any proof so you shouldn't say that.
I will find proof rightly so.
Your Majesty, Consort Ning's body was examined by the Punishment Bureau.
It was determined that the poison entered through her scalp, not through food.
Consort Ning died in front of the vanity in Chu Xuo Palace.
Send everything there for examination.
Yes, Sire.
Rong Ruo...
look into everyone who's gone through Chu Xuo Palace these past couple of days.
Yes, Sire.
Sir...
Let's go see.
I saw him throw it in from here.
Even if we need to empty out all the water here,
you must find what he threw in.
Yes!
Consort Wei, it is not convenient for you to proceed any farther.
Why?
Sir Nalan is dealing with the case.
Did he find anything?
Someone threw a suspicious object into the lake .
If we find it, it could become proof of a crime.
Consort Wei.
Where is Chang Qing?
I don't know Milady.
Sir Nalan, Consort Wei has an urgent matter to seek you out on.
Where is she?
Please follow me.
Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report.
Everyone dismissed.
Yes, Sire.
Rise up.
What is it?
- Your Majesty, you don't need to dig further.- Why is that?
The one who killed Hua Zhu is none other than... myself.
Lin Lang... you can't make up these things. A human life can't be resurrected.
Don't blame yourself too much, alright?
Hua Zhu is dead.
I do blame myself.
Because I didn't want to kill her. She died in someone else's place.
It was I.
I put poison on the comb.
What?
Do you really think me staying here
is because I like you? That I can't be parted from you?
You're trying to tell me...
- It was my death you wanted? - True.
A grievance left by the slaughtering of my household.
I can't forget it. I stayed
so I could kill you.
No.
I don't believe you.
I know very well whether you like me or not.
You were never in my heart.
I know I exist in your heart. Why do you continue to lie to me?
I never! In my heart...
I never liked you.
Why do you lie to me?
Why?
Sir, please wait. I will go announce you to Consort Wei.
Sire! Anyone, come here!
Don't yell.
Consort Wei! Wh-what did you do?!
Lin Lang, don't be afraid. I'm fine.
You leave this place first.
Hurry.
Hurry! Go!
Go! Go now!
Go!
What urgent matter did you need to see me for?
Brother Rong Ruo.
Brother Rong Ruo, I need to ask you for an item.
- What is it? - I want that comb you just fished out.
Do you want the comb or are you trying to cover for the person who threw in the comb?
I can't let that person come to harm.
Who exactly is Chang Qing to you?
Why do you protect him like this?
I beg you not to ask.
If he dies,
I will die as well.
Alright. I will give it to you.
But you must tell me the truth.
Chang Qing...
he's my real blood brother...
Asihai.
He didn't die.
Your Majesty, pardon my daring.
Please forget Consort Wei.
Lin Lang...
Your Majesty, the tea's gone cold. Don't drink it.
Wait.
Your Majesty, allow me to assist you.
What time are you done with court today? Can you come straight back after the court session?
Is something on your mind these days?
Nothing's on my mind.
I just want to see you every moment and every second.
Little De.
Summon Rong Ruo for me.
Yes, Sire.
Your Majesty.
Rise.
Wei Lin Lang says she needs to kill me to avenge. Do you believe her?
I don't believe it. She is not that kind of a person.
I don't believe her either.
I want to be a normal couple with my Liang'er.
Until we're gray and old.
I suspect... someone's controlling her from behind.
I want you to find out the truth at once.
Yes, Sire.
Liang'er, what did you want to see me for?
Brother, it's nothing now.
I'm obliged to you.
Brother.
This is really too hard for me to bear.
Can you take me away from here forever?
