Episode 14
What are you doing here?
- Didn't you call me here? - Me?
You called me here to discuss something.
Why are you dressed like this?
It's Empress Dowager who told me to dress this way.
You should make your lies more believable.
This dress was personally designed by Empress
Dowager and she wanted me to try it on.
She already went to find a female painter.
She wanted me to have my portrait painted
and asked me to wait for her here.
What about the candles?
These candles...
she said that she wanted to complement the colour of the gown.
I was also bothered why it was Eunuch Li who informed me.
He said that you had some matters to discuss with me.
Well, it looks likes we've been tricked by
that good-natured Royal Grandmother of ours.
It's shouldn't be called a trick.
She's only concerned about us.
We, her grandchildren, did actually made her worry very much.
No wonder she told me that you are a donkey.
I found it strange.
What donkey?
He said that you are a stubborn donkey.
I'm a donkey? What are you then?
Me? I'm a wild horse.
Fall in love with a wild horse
But my home doesn't have any plains
This made me feel despair
Miss Tong...
Looks like
you are going to make me suffer again tonight.
Explain to me first.
Why would you suffer?
The weather will be getting cold soon.
It's not suitable to sleep on the floor.
You are sleeping here.
Me?
Okay, I will sleep there.
Since you are my guest.
You took all the good spots.
This is the wind entrance. I'm blocking the wind for you.
Looks like my method is effective. When I leave,
no one is allowed to disturb them. Understand?
Don't worry, Empress Dowager. If anyone dares to ruin our good deed,
I will take his life.
Lu Li...
Lu Li, I have something important to tell the Emperor.
Can you please inform them?
So hateful. Go away.
Your Highness.
Your Highness, something bad has happened at You Lan Hall.
It sounded like You Lan Hall.
What's going on?
It's Madam Jiang.
Leave then. When you leave,
I can sleep on my sweet and soft bed.
Lu Li...
It's so disgusting! You gave me a handful of saliva!
Lu Li!
Who is it? Who dares to ruin My Lady's good deed?
I will take his life!
Master Yang, why is it you?
If it's not me, who else would it be?
Who's here so early in the morning?
It's good that you are here. Ninth
Brother wanted me to give this to you.
Why is he sending me this thing out of nowhere?
Ninth Brother especially found someone
to create this. It's made in gold.
He said that only gold can represent his heart.
He has agreed?
Why didn't he personally deliver this?
Isn't it due to your express delivery system?!
He has been busy every day. When would he have the time to see you?
I will accept this. I understand his heart now.
Go back and tell him
The express delivery work will slowly get into the right path.
Tell him not to work so hard.
When he has the time, I will go and see him.
My Lady, I'm taking my leave first.
My Lady, where is the Emperor?
Is he still in bed?
He has been called to go to You Lan Hall last night.
You Lan Hall?! That can't be!
I was guarding here yesterday.
You are a Sleeping Goddess and you are guarding me?
It's already not bad if you don't lose yourself.
This thing came at the right time.
My Lady, what do you mean by this?
This morning I was thinking about last night's event.
It showed me clearly what Qi Sheng is planning.
Sooner or later, he's gonna make Madam Jiang legally his wife.
If I don't start making plans for myself by this time,
ain't I just waiting to die?
My Lady, what has this to do with the triangle?
Ninth Prince sent me this triangle
is like giving me an anti-anxiety pill.
Starting from now, Ninth Prince and I
are allies in this battle.
I went directly here to see you after my morning court.
Are you okay?
It's nothing serious to begin with. Now that you are here,
I'm feeling much better.
Just focus on recuperating. For the other stuffs,
you don't need to think too much about it.
Just say it.
These past days, I frequently feel unwell.
But I get better when I see your Majesty.
Hoping that Your Majesty can find more time
to come here and visit me.
Since you've already mentioned it, of
course I will come here often to visit you.
What I am saying
is not sometimes but everyday.
This is my responsibility. If I refused your request,
then I will look like a cold and heartless person.
When I was seven years old,
that was the first time I met you.
I already knew then that Your Majesty is
someone who has a heart and righteousness.
Even though Your Majesty have a lot of official duties to attend to,
but I know that given our relationship
given so many years of love...
Don't talk about the past anymore.
If Your Highness could keep me company,
I don't have to worry anymore.
I still have a lot of official business to
attend to. I'll visit you again tomorrow.
Where should I hang this?
Your Lady Highness, isn't it said that you shouldn't
display your money/treasure for everyone to see.
It's better that you hide this gold triangle.
Baby, you don't get it again. This is called "Wo Xin
Chang Dan". (Constantly reminding onself to strive hard)
This item will remind me of my goal in life.
Be my guiding light.
My Lady.
What are you doing?
This lantern is crooked.
I'll just sit here for a while and will leave soon.
What's wrong? Didn't sleep well last night?
Came here to have some nap?
Can you not speak sarcastically?
Sorry, Your Highness.
If you want to listen to those flirtatious sweet words,
then please turn left upon exiting towards You Lan Hall.
I really don't know how to do that.
I wanted to apologise to you.
I had some urgent matters last night
and had to leave. I had no choice.
Since you are like this, I'm leaving.
My Lady. How could you talk to His Highness this way?
He's the first one to be heartless and
you want me to be nice to him still?
I would be the stupidest person in the world.
The Royal Physician has attended to the wound already.
I'm feeling much better.
Why did you do something like this to harm yourself?
I feel that
I have wronged you.
Why do you say this?
I'm pregnant with your child.
The Royal Physician said that I'm already pregnant for three months.
I have wronged you. I know that
having a child at this time,
I'm only giving you problems.
That's why I thought that
I might as well die with the baby.
What are you saying?
Ying Yue understands, that Your Majesty had
me brought here in the palace to recuperate
is already a great generosity.
But this child
is someone that everybody cannot accept.
Don't worry. I will help you to protect this child.
What's the point of protecting him?
If this child lives in this world,
he will only be someone without a name, a status.
He's just a pitiful child who cannot be recognized by his father.
Don't worry.
He is my flesh and blood. I will never let him suffer.
If this child really has a status,
and Sister knows about this,
will she get mad?
I feel sorry towards Sister
but this child is my flesh and blood.
I can't wrong my own child too.
Regarding the Empress, I will tell her personally.
Hearing you say this,
I can now somewhat pacify my worries.
Have a good recovery. I still have matters to attend to .
I'm leaving first.
I wonder if Your Highness
can come and visit me and the child tomorrow?
His Highness...
Don't need to report.
I'm leaving right away.
You are not going in?
I don't know how to explain to her.
She will be very hurt when she finds out.
Let her live happily and free of worries longer for now.
Two honeybees, flew among the flowers.
Fly, mwah! mwah!
Fly, yah! yah!
Fly...
Royal Physician Zhang is here!
Xiao Zhang? I didn't call him.
My Lady, did you forget?
In our palace, the Royal Physician regularly checks your pulse
to check if you have some undiagnosed disease.
Tell him to come in.
Physician Zhang, please go in.
Greeting, Your Lady Highness.
Xiao Zhang. Looking at your expression,
is my illness very complicated?
Congratulations, Your Highness.
You are pregnant!
What did you say?
My Lady is with child.
Our Lady is with child!
Lu Li, get out!
I will get out.
Our Lady is with child.
Xiao Zhang.
My monthly period has never been on time.
Did you get it wrong?
Yin is blocked while Yang appears. The inch
pulse is deep while the foot pulse is shallow.
Encouraging signs, seeing the yang (sun) within
the yin (darkness), and everything is attuned,
My Lady is definitely with child.
To be sure, I'm giving you a prescription
to make the baby hold more securely.
You...
get lost!
I will get lost.
Get lost!
Why didn't I realise it?
Don't tell me because I'm a man
and I didn't feel anything?
My Lady, it's time to get up and eat something now.
I'm already too ashamed to be in this world.
Let me escape for a while.
I'm leaving first then.
My Lady, I'm leaving first.
Stop!
What are you holding in your hand?
N..othing.
My Lady, there is really nothing.
It's something the Zhang clan suddenly sent us.
Show it to me
Show it to me.
Your Lady Highness, the Zhang family asked the
best dress maker in the city to make these.
They specialise in making clothes for children.
Zhang family? What do you mean?
I just learned that I am pregnant and now there are clothes already?
My Lady, don't you always say that there's
nothing wrong with being prepared?
What is going on?
Explain clearly.
My Lady, I really didn't plan to lie to you.
It's just that if I tell you beforehand,
you most likely will not agree to it.
So...what is done cannot be undone.
Continue.
I'm saying it but you must control yourself.
Please don't do anything stupid.
Frankly, you are not pregnant.
That Physician Zhang is paid by our family
That's why he said you are pregnant.
What?
I'm not pregnant?
This is great.
Come here.
Tell me now why they did this?
Few days ago, You Lan Hall asked for a doctor again.
The family feels something is off so they asked someone to investigate.
Who knew that lowlife Madam Jiang
is already pregnant.
Madam Jiang is pregnant?
No wonder the Emperor keeps going to You Lan Hall.
It's because of this reason.
My Lady, you must endure this.
Even if you lost a tooth, you still must stop the bleeding
and just swallow it.
Say that again. I'm not the one who is pregnant.
It's Madam Jiang.
The family is afraid that since Madam Jiang
is pregnant, she will become unruly.
Hence, they bribed Physican Zhang to say that you are also pregnant.
This way, they can find the opportunity to get rid of the child.
You are really too ruthless.
It's really true that the most lethal poison is a woman's heart.
Your Lady Highness, the family knows that you have a strong personality.
We were afraid that if we tell you the truth, you
might rush into You Lan Hall and start a fight.
When that time comes,
you might anger the Emperor more.
In future, you must discuss this with me first.
Does faking one's pregnancy something a legal wife should do?
If it is found out, won't I also be in danger?
Hurry and have someone send a message to mother.
Remember every single word that I'm going to tell you.
My Lady, please speak.
First, the child in Madam Jiang's belly must be protected.
I have another plan for that.
Second, Qi Sheng is not stupid.
Ask them to quickly think of a plan to make this fake pregnancy
disappear in a perfectly justifiable way.
Greetings, Your Majesty!
Dispense with the formalities.
The Royal Physician has already informed me about your pregnancy.
Even if the Royal Physician didn't tell you, you already knew.
This morning, Lu Li, kept shouting about it at my doorsteps.
Causing a ruckus that everyone in the palace already knows about it.
If you need anything, just ask for it from Internal Affairs.
Your Majesty, just because I am pregnant,
you must not desolate You Lan Hall.
Actually, she needs you there too.
You knew?
The palace is so huge. Is there anything that can be hidden?
To add further, this is not a bad thing.
Everyone is happy for you.
Isn't that so, Eunuch Gong.
Your being sarcastic, aren't you?
I didn't intentionally wanted to hide it
from you but with your attitude that day,
I couldn't tell you about it.
Your Highness, I'm sincerely happy for you.
What are you happy about?
I'm happy for you and Madam Jiang.
I'm also happy for myself.
Why are you happy for yourself?
Because I'm not the one who is pregnant.
Your Highness. If Sister Jiang and I
give birth to a boy and girl, that would be great.
They can be playmates in the future while Your
Majesty have both a son and a daughter already.
Thus, I'm really happy for you.
Don't say anymore.
Your Majesty, don't be cold to little Jiang sister just because of me.
Be brave, don't worry and take care of her.
My Lady, are you okay? Are you hurt?
- Let me take a look. - I'm fine.
Qi Sheng is just expressing his anger on himself.
Did His Highness really didn't hit you?
His actions were quite bold. Let me see it clearly.
I'm fine.
My Lady.
Look at how cute this baby's clothing is.
Cute? What's the use of being cute?
You really don't plan to give birth to one?
Me?
You want me to give birth to a child? You might as well let me die.
When you really have a child, you won't talk this way.
The news about my pregnancy has has been relayed.
I fear that some will be happy while some will worry.
Isn't it? Madam Jiang most likely is hating you to death.
I'm not talking about her.
I really am not interested in what is in Madam Jiang's mind.
It's that Ninth Prince must be having some great difficulty now.
I just had an agreement with him and
then the news of my pregnancy got out.
Regardless of who it is, it will be hard to accept it.
No.
I need to see Ninth Prince.
Go to his mansion and tell him that I want to see him.
