Chronicle of Life
Episode 17
At fourteen I ruled the nation on my own accord.
At sixteen I captured Oboi.
Since then I have been busy ruling the nation.
I have many concubines.
But all are for the sake of various palace political links.
My marriage
was never a choice for me to make.
Eight years ago, I met you.
I felt for the first time
what liking a person means.
And what it feels to miss someone.
Even if that past means nothing to you,
it's alright.
I'm still very grateful towards you.
You gave me
a very beautiful memory.
It's me who disappointed you.
I never dreamed I could meet you again.
This palace seems luxurious.
But it has nothing interesting.
Until I had you.
I finally felt a sense of life here.
When I'm with other women,
I'm just an emperor.
Only when I'm with you,
I finally feel myself
as a man with feelings and emotions.
How regrettable.
You don't like me.
I am sorry, Your Majesty.
If you hadn't lost that memory,
could there be a possibility that you'd like me?
I don't deserve your cherishing.
However in this world
there's no such thing as possibly.
I understand now.
Send in Na Lan Rong Ruo.
Your Majesty.
Gift him wine.
Your Majesty is righteous. It is my fault.
Thank you for Your Majesty's wine.
The fact that I could have a great brother like Your Majesty in this lifetime.
Rong Ruo is completely satisfied.
I have not served you diligently as your subject.
I have not been a loyal friend either.
I am ashamed of myself.
I will use my death to retain our friendship
for which I deem worthy.
No!
My Lady!
His Majesty has the master and Lin Lang held in imperial chamber.
Disallowing anyone to enter with De Gong Gong taking in wine.
I don't suppose His Majesty is trying to put the master . . .
Hurry, I must go there.
Yes, Ma'am.
Did you think this was poison?
Not afraid of death?
Very good.
Then I shall grant you.
Shao De Zhi.
Your Majesty.
Relay my message.
Imperial guard Na Lan Rong Ruo,
a distinguished man of physical and intellectual strength. Who remains unmarried as of yet.
Imperial palace maid Wei Lin Lang
with dignified appearance and wisdom in character
shall be matched as
Na Lan Rong Ruo's wife.
To be married on select date.
Your Majesty. You can't!
I'd rather die than to marry Na Lan Rong Ruo.
Lin Lang . . .
Wei Lin Lang!
I'm giving you a final chance.
Either you marry Na Lan Rong Ruo immediately
and live together til the end,
or
you stay in this palace forever.
Your servant would rather die in the palace
than to marry Na Lan Rong Ruo.
Lin Lang.
Wei Lin Lang.
This is clearly your own choosing.
Don't think about it anymore.
I'm who you're waiting for.

♫ To love you ♫
Your Majesty and I went through thick and thin.
But that was all eight years ago.
In these eight years I lost memory,
my heart
didn't contain Your Majesty.
So all these
were never for me.
♫ To look at you. Admire you in secret ♫
♫ To love you ♫
♫ Love you ♫
Master Na Lan, the wine you asked.
Lin Lang.
Your Majesty.
Wei Lin Lang.
I want to ask you, why do you want to stay?
Why are you staying? Your Majesty, you're drunk.
I've already granted you two. What more do you want from me?
Why didn't you leave with him? Why are you staying?
Are you staying so you can torment me? Is that it?
Because you know I like you . . .
Niang Niang, let me go kill that chit.
The more His Majesty likes her,
the more the harems will want her dead.
Why would we need to do that work?
Search.
Yes, Sir. Search!
Eunuch Wang, what's happened?
Lady Duan Ping lost a jewelry. She told us to search carefully.
Eunuch Wang, it's not here.
Let's go.
Brother Chang Qing.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
I think I saw you hide something.
You'll know tomorrow.
Tomorrow is my birthday.
Are you planning to gift me something?
Your Majesty.
I take my leave.
Eunuch De.
Eunuch De, I want to ask for a day off.
One of my sisters has a birthday today so I want to visit her.
Go ahead, but be careful.
I've been told the message that there's theft going on in the palace recently.
Lady Duan Ping lost a hair jewelry and they are investigating.
Thank you for your reminder. I'll be careful.
Go ahead. I take my leave.
Brother Chang Qing, why did you call me to come?
Yun Chu, I have something for you.
This is the most beautiful and most precious gift
I've ever received in my life.
Are you really gifting it to me?
I made this myself when I was little.
I was going to give it to my younger sister
on her birthday.
But my sister is already gone.
So I'll gift it to you.
Thank you, Brother Chang Qing.
Would you put it on me?
This Chang Qing is not a good fellow. You should stay away from him.
It's not like that.
I'm not a good fellow?
If I'm not a good fellow, someone would be dead a hundred times by now.
This pin is so precious.
If you give such a pin with questionable source, you will put her in harm.
Sister, listen to me!
If you think of me as a sister, come with me now!
Brother Chang Qing!
Timing & subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt team@Viki
Everything I treasure . . .
you all want to destroy them!
Here.
Foolish girl, don't be upset.
This gift I have for you, I sewed it myself.
Thank you, Sister.
But Sister, the hairpin Brother Chang Qing gave me
was supposed to be a gift for his younger sister.
But his sister died and he kept it with him.
He didn't steal it.
Chang Qing is a guy who is up to no good.
Trust me and don't mix with him, for your sake.
Greetings to Sister.
No need for such formality.
I had a birthday a few days ago and His Majesty gave me so many gifts.
I heard you lost a jewelry, so I picked out a few.
Hope to console you.
Thank you, Sister.
Thank you for thinking of me.
There's only one emperor.
There are those of us like me in the harem enduring long lonely nights.
And there are those like you who is cherished by him.
Did you really need to go through the trouble of reminding me?
I've heard since His Majesty's been back from the tour,
he's only flipped your badge. Why the sigh?
You should be grateful.
He was in my chamber,
but his heart was never with me.
What do you mean?
I don't get it.
The woman His Majesty cherishes the most isn't me.
If it's not you . . .
who could it be then?
Isn't it that imperial maid Wei Lin Lang? Chen Xiang.
Forgive me for tattling.
But you don't need to be so considerate of that fox.
She's lured His Majesty to transfer her from Xin Zhe Ku to Imperial Palace twice, so she's got skills.
Imperial palace maid?
Wei Lin Lang.
Just a cheap slave from Xin Zhe Ku.
Full of coy tricks.
A few days ago, His Majesty personally carried her from Shen Wu gate to Chian Qing Palace.
I heard he carried her all day without letting go.
Chen Xiang, enough. Say no more.
I know my offense.
I couldn't imagine how upsetting this has been for you.
I feel unjust for you.
Mistress, this fox is that Wei Lin Lang.
Greetings, My Lady.
You're Wei Lin Lang?
I am.
With such a fine person serving the front palace,
no wonder His Majesty doesn't flip our badges.
Niang Niang, this Wei Lin Lang dirtied up your clothes in Xin Zhe Ku.
I personally stewed ginseng soup for His Majesty.
I'll have you bear the trouble of holding it with both hands.
Follow me to deliver it.
I shall follow order.
Yes.
Burn your hands?
You'll have to really hold it well.
Burning you is alright.
But we wouldn't want it to burn His Majesty.
Lady Duan Ping seeking audience.
Greetings to Your Majesty with peace and prosperity.
Your Majesty, do you notice anything different about me today?
What's the difference?
Do you see the butterfly pin on my head?
Sister Hui Fei gifted it to me.
I see.
Sister Hui Fei said this was a pin
you gifted to her on her birthday.
But Jie Jie doesn't like this stuff,
so she gave them to me.
I thanked Sister already, so I should thank you too.
I can't just use words to express my gratitude.
So I brewed ginseng soup for you.
Please drink it while it's hot.
Bring it up and put it here.
You are busy with work, so I won't bother you anymore.
Please take care of your health. I'll take my leave.
You didn't see it yourself. That cheap slave's hands were shaking nonstop.
Right under His Majesty's eyes.
I was thinking if she was careless and broke the bowl,
I could put the crime of discourtesy inside imperial palace and give her the punishment of flogging.
But could you think that she would endure it?
Of course. If she could seduce His Majesty, she's no easy thing.
Maybe your method was too light.
Not enough to teach that fox.
This is just giving her a warning.
If she continues to be brazen and seduce His Majesty
I have stronger methods.
I'll give her more than she can chew.
Eunuch De.
Lady Duan Ping.
I'm here to deliver His Majesty's message.
I await the message.
"You were thoughtful to brew soup for me and I'm happy"
"however, you should put that thought on Her Dowager Majesty and Her Grand Dowager Majesty as well."
"I order you for the remainder of six months"
"to brew soup for Her Dowager Majesty and Her Grand Dowager Majesty daily. "
"Don't forget to brew personally and deliver personally."
"That is how I will feel satisfied and unworried."
I accept the order.
I'll take my leave.
I heard this when I was delivering clothes
that Lady Duan Ping of Zhong Cui Palace tried to bully Lin Lang
but she got punished by His Majesty instead.
So funny.
Zhong Cui Palace?
That Xiang Er girl who punished Lin Lang last time was from Zhong Cui Palace as well.
This is called karma. Serves them right.
I don't believe in karma.
I think inside the palace, if you don't want to be bullied,
you have to earn His Majesty's fondness.
You know so much.
I'm right though.
Eunuch Chang Qing.
Why so many jugs of wine these days?
These . . . I
I don't know what's wrong with Master Na Lang lately.
Whenever he's not on duty, he drinks in the guard office.
I'm in a hurry to deliver these.
Sir.
Eunuch De.
Any better?
Much better.
Lady Duan Ping's temper is like that. Don't begrudge it.
I won't.
Good then.
Hurry and put on the medicine.
Thank you, Eunuch De.
Is there something you wish to tell me?
Remember, don't tell her the medicine is from me.
Nothing.
Take care and recover.
Move these things over there. Don't just leave them wherever.
Yes, Sir.
Don't worry. No one would come at this hour.
Chang Qing Ge Ge, I don't worry about others seeing me.
I'm just scared Sister Lin Lang would see me.
She'd get mad if she found out I'm still seeing you. She might not talk to me again.
That Sister of yours should die.
Brother Chang Qing, don't be mad at Sister Lin Lang
That was a misunderstanding that day.
When I get the chance, I'll explain it to her clearly.
Timing & subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt team@Viki
Your Majesty.
Is her hand alright?
Your Majesty, it's not a major problem anymore.
His Majesty's whole heart is on Lin Lang.
I need to figure out a way to get them to reconcile soon.
An eunuch from Xin Zhe Ku is asking to see you.
An eunuch from Xin Zhe Ku?
What right does he to see me? I won't see him.
He says he knows Wei Lin Lang's secret.
Maybe he can help you get revenge.
Tell him to come in.
Come in.
Greetings to my lady.
How could a mere worker from Xin Zhe Ku
know about an imperial maid's secret?
Wei Lin Lang used to be just a cheap slave in Xin Zhe Ku.
So I know about her affairs.
Let me hear it.
I don't know if I tell you this secret
how it could benefit me.
I guess that depends on what your secret is.
If it's imperial maid Wei Lin Lang
and imperial guard Na Lan Rong Ruo
having secret liaison?
You have a grudge against Wei Lin Lang?
That cheap slave is spoiled.
She's offended many people in Xin Zhe Ku before.
We have been tired of her for a while. Now she's spreading her brattiness.
Riding on top of the masters.
Of course it's hard for us slaves to stomach.
Hence we all want to avenge for you.
Is this piece of news trustworthy?
You couldn't be
making it up, could you?
Niang Niang, I dare to vouch with my life.
What use would I have with your life?
What I want is proof.
Without proof, I wouldn't just offend His Majesty
I'd be offending Lady Hui Fei as well.
Do you think I'm a fool?
Niang Niang, if we lack proof . . .
we could make one.
You mean . . .
In answer to Your Ladyship, I already have a good plan.
Good.
Once you get it done,
I won't discount your gain.

Lin Lang.
Cui Jun.
I came to find you on Yun Chu's birthday but you left to wash clothes and wasn't there.
I know, so I came to see you.
Have a seat.
Do you know, I thought I wouldn't see you again.
Are you doing well?
Since you left for imperial palace,
you changed. You're full of worries and stress.
What? You have a worry?
Do you know that I saw him today?
Him?
I mean Sir Na Lan.
I saw him drinking alone.
Looking very sad and worried. I don't know why or for whom.
Lin Lang, do you think it's over a woman?
I wish I could be that woman who'd make him worry and cringe.
Relay the words to Lin Lang.
I understand. Don't worry.
Miss.
Sir Na Lan asks you to visit him in guard office.
Sir?
Sir Na Lan is looking for me?
That's not possible.
I must have heard wrong.
Maybe it's possible?
Maybe I heard wrong.
Even if I heard wrong, I could ask Sir Na Lan about it.

Greetings to Your Ladyship.
Not bad.
You're one mighty little eunuch.
Sir.
You're here.
At last, you couldn't spare me.
I knew you wouldn't leave me.
Sir, what's wrong with you?
Don't leave me.
Sir, you've had much to drink. Let me help you rest.
I just want to ask you one thing.
If you hadn't lost that memory,
would it have been possible for you to like me?
I'm grateful of the undeserving love.
However in this world there is no possibly.
Little De.
Your Majesty. Greetings to Your Majesty.
Where's Little De.
Eunuch De asked me to tend to post.
