Episode 25
You may all leave
Ruo'xi, I have some things to say to you
When you were switched to washing clothes
did you wash your brains into a mess?
This is your best opportunity
You need to grab it
If you do not grab it
Even if I wanted to help you
I wouldn't be able to
I know that Li Eununch treats me well
I don't dare to do it again
In the Palace you are a smart person
This time even though I made the decision privately
I could not do that without the Emperor's special favor
You might not want to continue on doing wrong.
Yes
I have a question in my heart
I don't know if I can ask Li Eununch
You can ask
Li eunuch has always understood Emperor's thoughts
Do you think
The person that HIs Majesty ships/support in his heart
Is Fourth Prince or Fourteenth Prince?
I just said that you need to be careful in action and words
Did you even hear what I said?
I already said we are servants
We can't get involved with the palace issues
Even if you let me guess
I do not have a clear answer
Both brothers were doted by the Emperor
Also Emperor said before
Everything is under his control
All these time in order to suppress the struggle
he decided not to appoint a Crown Prince
Not until the last moment
The Emperor would not announce who is the successor
Your Majesty, please look after your health
Don't tire yourself out so much
As long as I could see the country prosper and common people at peace
All the common people have food to eat and cloth to wear
It does not matter how tired I am, it is worthy
However, I
could not help the Emperor with your worries
You already helped me
All these years
You served me dutifully
I am completely aware of it.
I would not dare to create trouble for the Emperor
I only hope 14th Prince
Can come back earlier
Then the Emperor can feel relieved
The 14th prince is braver than other people
I am confident in him
This is all your contribution
I could not dare to get the credit
I only hope that 4th Prince
And 14th Prince
can help your majesty's worries/issues
Then I will be satisfied
Out of those two brothers
Which one do you like?
The two of them
are both my sons.
There is no difference.
To me
You are more strict towards 4th prince
That's right
I only wish
he can be a good role model for 14th prince
Do you know
Sometimes I suspect
the silent and reticent character of 4th prince
Just because you
were too strict towards him
Your Majesty
My skill of guidance is lacking
I caused torments to the princes
There could not be enough punishment for me
Don't talk about fault
As a father
My fault is even bigger
Well. The Emperor is handling tens of thousand matters each day
Who has that much time?
That is why
If the child was not bought up right, it was the father's fault
Unfortunately, a ruler of a country
can not be the same as
a regular person
Go out to work after sunrise. Come home for rest after sunset
Every night
sitting under the big tree
they could accompany their children, cool off and tell stories
Sometimes, if one of them was sick
I couldn't even go to see him
The princes will understand
There are times where I am not clear
Do they truly have filial piety towards me
Or is it because of the Emperor's seat
Your Majesty, the way the Princes treat you is real
Man at birth, is fundamentally good in nature
Moreover, Emperor treats them nicely
and
Emperor makes pain staking efforts in cultivating them
At times like this
Real or fake, it's both good
I do not care
I only care about their future
They are all my own blood and flesh
I really hope
the brothers won't destroy each other
I, Long Ke Duo, greets the king
Rise
Thank you
I am getting old
Today I am also sick
Bless the Emperor with a long life and good fortune
I plan on having 14th Prince return
When he returns this time
I don't plan on having him return to the battlefield
Therefore, I need to pick someone to replace him
We must think carefully
We cannot be too hasty in making decisions
The Emperor, please look after your health
Bring a cup of tea
Do you have someone on your mind?
Sister, what's wrong?
Go and bring His Majesty a cup of tea
Emotionally I hope it will not happen
I do not want 4th prince to be upset, disappointed and in pain
Rationally
I think that is the best solution to everything
14th prince steps on the throne
everyone could still be alive
If 14th prince becomes Emperor
he really will not kill those brothers who were not on his side?
Hurry, hurry!
One of the greatest Emperor
finally reached the end of his life?
Come
Yes
Send the order out
Immediately send in large troops to surround Qian'qin Palace
without my permission
no one can come in or out
use my name plate to send the order
Impose martial laws on all 9 gates
Even prince or Qin'wang
Without my permission
is forbidden to go out and come in privately
Yes
Eunuch Li
Do you think my arrangement is complete?
Your arrangement is reasonable and fair
Send people to pass the order
No one can leave without permission
No one can approach without permission
Whoever violates this order will be beaten to death right away
Understood
I already ordered someone to draft the decree
to pass the throne to 14th prince
Later on you will assist him with all your heart
静 (calm, peace)
Wang'ye we got news from the palace
the Emperor's illness became emergency
Right now the inside and outside of Qian'qin palace is sealed. No one can go in or out
You can leave
Yes
The win or loss of so many years of hardwork will all be determined by now
Prepare to enter the palace
(action)
Your Majesty has passed away
Your Majesty
The Emperor just told me
the decree was already drafted
and the throne would be passed to 4th prince
then suddenly he fainted
I didn't imagine that.. Your Majesty
Before the Emperor passed away, he already instructed me
that 4th prince is noble
and is really similiar to me
He will inherit the throne
Therefore, he will ascend the throne in the next few days
and he will be the new Emperor
Greetings, Your Majesty
Greetings. Your Majesty
Constraint everyone separately
Do not allow anyone to approach privately or spread the news
Understood
Maiden. Please
This way is good too
I will not witness
the final conflict right before he ascendes to the throne
The former Emperor passed away. The whole country is in mourning
I beg Your Majesty to take care of yourself
Please for the sake of the country
pick a lucky day to quickly ascend the throne
So the whole country could be notified
to show our Qing Dynasty's prosperity
to show Your Majesty's heavenly grace
The most important thing right now is the funeral arrangement of former Emperor
We can talk about ascending upon the throne later
Emperor. That is absolutely must not
Even though our Qing Dynasty is at its peak
but the countries surrounding us all have their own ambitions
They wanted to invade us given any oppotunity
Right now the former Emperor suddenly died
Our enemies for long time have been waiting for it
If Your Majesty does not ascend the throne and notified everywhere, and there are no official ruler
that will cause the country to be not at peace
I agree on that suggestion also. Your Majesty
The great Qing Dynasty could not be without Emperor for one day
I beg Your Majesty to put aside your sadness
to ascend the throne as soon as possible
I agree too
Right now Ministry of (Confucian) Rites already posted the former Emperor's posthumous decree in the whole country
Everyone under the heaven knows
I beg Your Majesty to make a decision immediately
to stablize the common people's minds
We beg Your Majesty to pick a lucky day to ascend the throne
Fourth Brother
How dare you! Bei'le ye should call the Emperor
How could you lack manners in front of the Emperor
You should immediately knee down and ask for forgiveness
How dare you. Bei'le'ye
is not some servant like you could be cursed at
Eighth Brother
I don't know what is 4th brother discussed about over here
Why did you not notify our brothers
and discuss about it together
I am talking about the funeral arrangement of the Former Emperor
You are also talking about faking the Imperial order to get the throne
and attempt to be the Emperor
9th brother. How could you talk nonsense about the posthumous decree of the former Emperor
Fourth Brother
You usually focus on farming and the colors of spring
If the posthumous decree wrote that
you were given one hundred acres of good farm landI could believe that
But if the will stated to pass the throne to you
That may be a joke.
If you say another absurd word
Do not blame me for not honoring our brotherhood
What can you do
The day that Imperial Father passed away
All of us
were blocked outside of the emperor's palace
We could not even get to see our father for the last time
Not sure how on that day you were
How you persuaded the Imperial Father so that he would pass the throne to an
unconcerned person who treats farming as enjoyment
The former Emperor made a determination long time ago regarding the successor
He could not be persuaded by others in a few sentences
When Imperial Father was still alive
He already treated 14th prince as his favorite
He entrusted 14th prince with heavy responsiblities and trusted 14th prince
Everyone in the Imperial Court
and us brothers
have all noticed that
The intention of Imperial Father is understood without saying
So I ask
how could Imperial Father during his dying time
suddenly change
Fourteenth brother is extremely talented
he could be called the model among all princes
I am very happy about that too
I will entrust him with heavy responsiblities
I already told our fourteenth brother to come back for the funeral
You have no need to use his name when you question me
Li De Chuan
Your servant is here
Since all Bei'le and Bei'zi have doubt in their mind
you should read the posthumous decree again in public
Yes
The Former emperor said
4th prince is noble
and is similiar to me
He will respectfully carry on my inheritage
He will be the successor on the throne after me
and become the Emperor
Li De Chuan
You bastard servant
Didn't my royal father treat you well when he was alive
However you dare to fake the Imperial order and help the bad guy
What you do is contrary to Imperial Father's wish
That day, several of us were not there
The posthumous decree in your hand no one knows whether it is real or fake
If you wish that we willingly knee down to you and be your servants because of that decree
That is impossible
That day both I and Eunuch Li
are both the witnesses right next to the former Emperor
I, as a nine gate ti'du
entrusted by the former Emperor
guarding the Qian'qin palace and the former Emperor
How could I falsify
Shut up
Imperial Father could be baffled by you
However do not think that we do not know about your background
Your servant Nian Geng Yao returns to protect the king
Greetings to the Emperor
Rise. Everyone
Thanks, Your Majesty
While the whole country is in mourning
I can understand your feelings
The most important thing now
is the funeral arrangement of the fomer Emperor
and the Imperial matters
From this day on
General Ma, Long Ke Duo
Eighth Brother and also Thirteenth Brother
are the prime ministers
Confer a title to 8th prince
as He'shuo'lian Qin'wang
13th prince as He'shuo'yi Qin'wang
I hope everyone will cooperate with me
go through the difficult time together
We receive the order and thank Your Majesty
I accept the order and thank Your Majesty
8th brother. How could you kneel down when you were just given a Qing'wan
then our brother
could not contest for you again
Contest?
I originally thought that
the attitude of Imperial Father was obvious
14th brother definitely will be the successor
and step on the throne as an Emperor
Who knows that just in one night, the dream will be in vain
The Imperial Throne now is in 4th brother's hand in a blink of an eye
That's right, Eighth Brother
I really don't understand
How could you let it go?
You are really giving the Imperial Throne
away.
We do not have any control of army in the capital city
It is already difficult to deal with Long'ke'duo
Now that Nian'gen'yao is also here
Which of you can withstand him?
The most important thing is
Long'ke'duo has the oral instruction of Imperial Father
and has Li'de'quan as an witness
Now that posthumous decree is published all over the country
Unless we have the intention of rebel
Otherwise we do not have the ability to turn it around
You two don't worry
4th prince this time controlled the key moment
but it is not right and proper
We will have oppotunity in the future to push him off the throne
The strategy now
is wait for action until we have an opportunity
De Fei is always more fond of 14th brother
and she is the birth mother of 4th brother
4th brother will have a hard time dealing with his own Empress Dowager
Niang Niang, please don't worry anymore
Please look after your health
Invite Fourth Prince in
Yes
Greetings Your Majesty
Excused
Thank you Your Majesty
You can leave
Mother asked me to come right away
what is it for?
4th prince. Tell me the truth
are you really faking the posthumous decree
When your Imperial Father was alive
he really likes Fourteenth Brother
He would never
pass the throne down to you
I and 14th Prince
were both given birth from you
It does not matter which of us ascend to the throne you will be titled Empress Dowager
Mother, why do you favor 14th brother?
You really believe that I won't be a good Emperor?
I am your Imperial Father's concubine
I need to follow the former Emperor's posthumous wishes
Whether your Imperial Father gave the throne to my own son
or not, I still speak for him
Former Emperor really said the order personally
The Imperial Throne belongs to me. It is right and proper
Right and proper?
Is it really right and proper?
Your heart knows better than anyone elses
Even though I have not ascend to the throne yet
I am already the real Emperor of the Qing Dynasty
Today, I would like to tell you
Even though everyone sees you as the Emperor
I don't consider you deserve it
I was only detained for seven days
but I cannot stand it longer
For 10 years, 13th prince didn't have any freedom
how could he get through?
Fourth Prince ascends to the throne
Thirteenth Prince will definitely be released
I will finally see him again
Miss, please follow me back to the palace
Has the Emperor had the coronation ceremony?
replying,
Today the Enthronement Ceremony was just finished
It was also announced that the title of the country
What about the Eighth Prince and his people?
Congratulations, Miss
The Emperor already ordered to promote 8th prince to Qin'wang
Eighth Prince, Thirteenth Prince
General Ma, General Long
Four of them are the prime ministers
The Emperor relies on 8th prince
Is Thirteenth Prince well?
Very well
You will be able to see him soon
These several days, 8th prince and 13th prince
are discussing about imperial matters with Emperor at Yang'xin palace everyday
The Emperor treats 13th prince very differently
Becuase all of the other princes need to avoid using Emperor's name
they all changed their own names
except 13th prince
The Emperor ordered 13th prince not to change his name
However 13th prince kneeled down and declined
The Emperor really treats 13th prince generously
I know
You know?
Only 7 days
Only seven days, the Forbidden City already changed owner
I was doted on by the former Emperor for many years
but I betrayed him for 4th prince
Do I really obsess with the Forbidden City?
This is 4th Prince's dream
But my prison
Let's stand up
The Emperor asks me to escort you back
Thirteenth Prince
Rouxi has not groomed myself for 7 days
My hair is messy and face is dirty
It is unfit to face the Emperor
I would like to groom myself
Miss. You will live in here for now
I will have the servants prep the bath
Your servant, Mei Xiang
Servant Ju Yun
Greetings Miss
Greetings Miss Rouxi
Please rise
Is Yutan still in the palace?
Your servant doesn't know
What about Wang Xi?
Eunuch Wang is still here
Would you mind finding Eunuch Wang for me?
Yes
Miss. Please wash face and rinse mouth first
Alright
Jie'jie
Jie'jie what is the matter?
Eunuch Wang
Where are you serving in the palace?
I'm serving at the Empress' place
However recently there were not enough people
I am also serving at Yang'xin palace
What about Yutan?
Yu'tan already passed the age limit to be release out of palace
The Emperor has pardoned her
For her to leave the palace
Let her come here and see me
This, your servant can't do
You can leave
Yes
You two can leave
Yes
What am I afraid of?
How long can I put this off
When I couldn't see him, I yearned for him
Yet when I can see him, I cannot wait to run away
You're awake, why pretend to be sleeping?
Do you want me to help you light a lamp?
I don't want to, this is good
Don't worry
I am really tired.
I just want to lay next to you. Is that fine with you?
This moment, I have hoped for a very long time
Just the two of us
Belonging to each other
What is the past is the past
Ruo'xi
I am here
I just had a dream that I was hugging you
Right now, it's fine
You and 13th Prince have both return to my side
We are all by your side
I think I better not sleep
There are still many things to see to
I want to see Yu Tan
In the palace all these years
We always had each other for company
We're like sisters
Even after I was sent to the washing department
She has been taking care of me
I promise you
I also want to see Jie'jie
Right now is not the time
Things in the palace still need reorganizing
When everything is settled
I will let her come and see you
Okay?
Thank you
I want you to smile like this everyday
You should go
Didn't you say that you still have things to do?
You really know how to torture people
Gao Wu Yong
Your servant here
Send for some food
Send for some light dishes and porridge
Understood
All right. That should be fine
It is still warm. Let it cover a little longer
MissMiss YuTan came
Come in
Jie'jie
Why have you only come now
You may leave
Yes
Yu'tan, how are you?
Come here and sit
What difficulties do you have, tell me
Jie'jie, Yu Tan doesn't want to leave the palace
I will please with the emperor to reward you well
After leaving the palace, you will definitely not suffer
All these year, the rewards given although cannot be compared to yours
But it is enough to last until I am old
Do you have someone in mind
I will beg the emperor to arrange good marriage for you
If the emperor personally confers the marriage, even if you cannot be the first wife
nobody will dare to look down on you
Yu Tan don't want to marry anyone
Ever since I entered the palace I got rid of that idea
Now
I just wish that my family would always be safe
My younger brothers will have a successful official career
This is why I entered the palace
Now
I just want to keep Jie'jie company
People who want to go can't
People who can go, doesn't want to leave
My very good sister
Please allow me to stay
In my heart
I wish you can accompany me
In this Palace who else can I do I have to talk about private stuff
But there are some things that I can't do
I can only go and beg the Emperor
Then, Jie'jie has promised me?
The Emperor will definitely not refuse your request
I myself have not guarantee in this matter
But yet you are so full of confidence
Where are you staying now
Still in the same old courtyard
Eununch Li is well?
I haven't seen him
I heard he left the Palace to enjoy his retirement
It is getting late
Jie'jie needs to rest
There will be more days to talk.
I'll see you out
Mei'xiang, Ju'yu
Here
Help me see out Yutan
Yes
Shall I help Gu'gu to retire for the night
Has the emperor rested already?
I don't think so
It has been said that for this period the Emperor has been attending to official matters
Always going to bed very late
Today, from Xi'bei I have been sent a few good horses
So I
want to give Yi'qin'wang a grand gift
That day
if Imperial brother wants to gift a good horse
why not...
I have my own plans in mind
First come and view
the grand gift I have prepared for you
E'ling'e
That year when you set up false charges against me
You caused Yi'qin'wang to be exiled for ten years
Also you wanted to sow discord between my father and I
Lian'qin'wang
You and E'ling'e are old acquaintances
If what I have just said is not the truth
You can investigate the case thoroughly
I have no objection
Good
Your Majesty, please spare me
AHHH...please spare me, Your Majesty
I recently stepped on the throne
there are many things that need to be dealt with
It is the time when I needed people the most
8th prince and 13th prince. Thanks for your trouble
What Emperor said is too serious
I will do the work with all my effort
If the Imperial brother do not consider me slow and stupid
I will do the work with all my effort
Recently I am checking every department's account books
These account books were all unaccurate and confusing
Right now the start treasury is empty
What good plan do 8th prince have?
The plan should be different for different department
Also the account books are the very important matters
It is beyond my ability
Please give me those
chaotic and non-important matters from local offices to me
It is more appropriate
Everything in Imperial Court is important. There are not chaotic and non-important matters
How about this
13th brother and I have not dealt with Imperial matters for many years
Right now it is the time for us to be familiar with and we should start from detailed matters
13th prince and I will start by examining those account books
If we find something that is not right
then we will call 8th prince to discuss
Yes. We will follow the order
