The King's Woman
Episode 26
Senior, did you perfect the Huluo Sword Technique Guide? I just saw it.
I have not perfect it completely.
Lan'er has been accompanying me in Mount Song for about half a month. In order to take her out of the mountain,
I had to finish the training.
So Sister Lan'er has been with you.
Then I will not worry.
It seems like the rain stopped. I am going to take a look.
From being respected as a minister to falling into a prisoner, how do you feel?
Li Si. You and I are schoolmates.
How did I offend you for you to harm me like this?
By now, you still do not understand?
Your existence for me is a threat.
You shouldn't have become His Majesty's favored subject.
You should not get in my way.
A person like you can't speak well. What qualifications do you have to compete the minister position with me?
Do you know how many years I've struggled to climb up to this place now?
I absolutely will not allow anyone to snatch away my things.
So it is because of the minister position.
Han Fei. You caused your own misfortunes now.
Since you have devoted yourself to Qin,
you still extravagantly hope to protect Han.
Your every actions were all just for naught. Just accept the reality.
I admire His Majesty's oustanding virtues.
I hope to contribute to him what I have learned and the strategies that I have devised.
I have never thought of competing for the minister position.
Enough!
It is not based on your intentions if you are going to get the prime minister position or not.
As long as His Majesty still has you,
I must make you leave Xiangyang.
Right now, you making these reasoning is already a bit late.
Because you lied to the king and incited such a huge trouble,
His Majesty was really angry and has already decided to dispatch his army
and annihilate Han to vent his anger.
What?
Li Si, what you said is true?
Each words are true.
This is the purpose of my coming here today.
Han Fei,
if you still plan to surrender to His Majesty and admit your mistakes,
considering that we were classmates once,
I might help you plead for mercy and allow you to retain your life.
You are on your own now.
It is all because of me.
I brought my mother state trouble...
Junior sister!
Eldest senior brother...
- Eldest senior brother.- Junior sister.
- Are you alright?- I am fine.
I had caused Eldest Senior to worry.
Thank you, junior brother.
Take her back.
Senior, thank you.
♫ I looked up. The sky has turned dark again. ♫
Let us go.
♫ I prayed for my blue wish. ♫
♫ In the bamboo forest, the falling leaves create a line of light. Narrating in details the changes in things as time passes. ♫
♫ Yet I cannot turn against the already ascertain curve. ♫
I will not let you leave me by a step anymore.
I will use my life to protect you. We are going to live using the same coat and be in the same hole when we die.
Since he was little, Ying Zheng has no one around him that was sincere towards him.
He also does not have any person that he can completely trust.
♫ Is the secular world like smoke? ♫
I have bore Ying Zheng a child.
I am going back to Xianyang. You all take care.
♫ The way you look at me is filled with love. ♫
In your heart, Ying Zheng is still more important than me.
Shangyi, have you already prepared the medicine to be given to Lord Changping?
Replying to Madame, Lord Changping will drink a soup to calm his nerves everyday.
The person we have bribed already sent the medicine into his manor.
As long as the poison is strong and as long as he drinks it, I am sure that he will die fast.
As long as Lord Changping is dead, based on our plan,
Li Si can then replace him.
With such a huge favor, from now on,
this Li Si will surely be obedient to me.
Madame is wise.
Lord, our people have sent words that Madame Chu plans to deal with Lord Changping. What should we do?
We will then use their plot to our advantage. We will use the poison that Madame Chu wants to use against Lord Changping to eliminate Han Fei.
This is the ending that he should have after suggesting to His Majesty to attack Zhao.
That nine eyes glass beads really has provided great use.
This is called borrowing the hands of someone to kill a person and hitting two birds with one stone.
We will be able to kill Han Fei and then frame it on Madame Chu and Li Si.
Just thinking about it and it will make you feel scared. How will His Majesty deal with them then?
And also, you must do this matter personally.
You must do it perfectly.
Yes, I know that.
Your Majesty, if we continue west, we will be exiting the Hangu Pass already.
This strategic military location we are going to is made up of so many intersecting paths. I think that it is better to just give the search and arrest order to the Huben Army so we can find Madame Li faster.
If I give out the arrest order, then it means that I have concluded that Li'er has sneaked out.
I understand. But the longer the time we delay, the more I am worried that Madame Li would be in danger.
Your Majesty, look.
Stop!
Li'er...
Your Majesty, I am back.
Tell me. What has happened?
Your Majesty, I will surely tell you everything that has happened to me later.
But the most important thing now is the safety of Lord Han Fei.
I getting abducted this time made me realize that someone is masterminding all of these.
Your Majesty must believe that Lord Han Fei is innocent.
As they say, if you decided to use someone, do not doubt him. If you doubt someone, do not use him.
Your Majesty, Lord Han Fei is famous far and wide and will never bear any rebellious intentions against Qin. I fear that the move of Qin of suddenly imprisoning him will not be accepted by the world.
Your Majesty, Lord Han Fei must have been framed this time by some treacherous official.
Hope Your Majesty can go back to the court and have Lord Han Fei released.
Lord, your calming nerves soup is already prepared.
Leave then.
Yes.

Lord, I came to visit you.
Oh, my, Lord currently got imprisoned and is suffering tortures and insults.
Thinking about how you were when you just entered Qin, no matter how talented and proud you were then, all those have become passing clouds and smoke.
Now, Your Majesty most likely has already forgotten about Lord.
If Lord desires to get out of this suffering as soon as possible,
this is one way.
Right now, if lord feels ashamed to face the Han state and commits suicide,
maybe you can still be left with a reputation of having tried to be loyal to the end towards your state.
His Majesty has arrived!
Lord Han Fei, His Majesty has come to see you.
- Open the door.- Yes. I will just call them.
Lord Han Fei!
- Call for the royal physician!- Yes!
Your Majesty...
If you really want to unite the world,
you must govern with laws.
Your Majesty will surely be greater than the past great kings.
Lord! Lord!
Lord Han Fei!
This is my fatal weakness.
Suspecting, envious, unsympathetic, cold-hearted.
Because of my weaknesses, I caused the death of Lord Han Fei.
Your Majesty, there is a saying among the people that goes as such, "There is no virtuous or dumb scholar. Defamation can destroy a reputation."
For the past days, Your Majesty has trusted Lord Han Fei a lot.
Never thought that it would bring him the disaster of death.
This is not the fault of Your Majesty. Others just used this to kill him.
Li'er,
tell me who do you think
killed Lord Han Fei?
I think that glass beads are high quality jewelries from the southern state of Chu.
Only royalties can get hold of them. And the only royalty from the southern Chu in the palace right now is Madame Chu.
Although we do not have any evidence, this matter is still surely connected with her.
What you said is very reasonable.
Then could your abduction be connected with her too?
You said that the person who abducted you was Xia Houyang of Danding Sect. Who could he have been working for
that he was so bold to act outrageously inside my palace?
If it was also arranged by Madame Chu, I surely will not easily forgive her.
I think that this matter was not done by Madame Chu.
Or to put it in another way, it is not something that the women of the royal harem would be able to do.
At the place where I was hidden, Xia Houyang carelessly blurted out that...
Who ordered you?
Who have you helped and who have you hindered,
such simple principles, do you still not understand?
Li Si?
That is why, it is most likely not Madame Chu who did it.
Then you think,
what is the connection between these two matters?
I still cannot be sure.
It is just do Your Majesty not feel that all of these is too fishy?
First, someone framed Lord Han Fei to get imprisoned. Next, Xia Houyang abducted me, took me out of the palace, and wanted to kill me.
Madame Li has previously visited the rebellious minister Han Fei.
She visited a treacherous official so openly.
She did not even consider the interest of Qin and the safety of the royal harem. What really is her motive?
And now, Madame Li went out of the palace without permission. I am worried
that Madame Li is conniving with rebels outside and is planning to harm our Qin.
If it was really the two of them,
I will surely not easily spare them.
Tingwei Official.
Madame.
How come this happened?
How was Consort Li able to return to the palace?
I am so mad.
How come the one who died is not Lord Changping but Han Fei?
I also do not understand.
Who would have secretly helped Consort Li to escape?
The martial artists that I dispatched have very good skills.
With just the fighting skills of Consort Li, she surely would never be able to handle them alone.
Then...what about the death of Han Fei?
There is only one possibility.
That is they wanted to stealthily substitute these matters.
They already know beforehand about our plan
and they wanted to frame the death of Han Fei on us.
From now on, we must be more careful in this palace.
There must be spies from the enemies that have been placed by your side that you do not know of.
Lan'er, why are you here?
I got really bored staying inside the house alone so I came out to take a stroll.
Sit down.
Okay.
Brother Jing, sorry.
Why are you suddenly apologizing?
I suddenly felt that letting you save Sister Li is wrong.
I thought that since you love her, you should go save her.
But I never thought that letting you save someone who has hurt you so badly will make you sadder.
Lan'er, this is not your fault. Stop blaming yourself.
No, it is indeed my fault.
You were injured quite badly.
I stayed by your side, thought of every means to make you happy, yet I was still unable to take good care of you.
I really am blaming myself.
Should I have not let you see Sister Li?
Staying by your side for so long, I still did not know how to understand your feelings.
Maybe letting you be alone is the better choice.
Stupid girl, what are you saying?
I am doing very well. Do not blame yourself anymore.
When little sister was in danger these past days, His Majesty has been so worried.
He was unable to eat or sleep.
Fortunately, you were able to safely return. Honestly,
although I know that you know martial arts,
I also got worried about you for several days.
I have caused sister to worry.
These past days, while little sister was not in the palace,
rumors have been spreading all over.
Someone is saying that little sister had sneaked out of the palace again without permission.
There is also someone saying that you were conniving with rebels outside.
Actually, we both know
that the person who most likely will frame you
is Madame Chu.
Too bad, we do not have any evidence.
Recently, Madame Chu and Tingwei has been having frequent interactions.
Tingwei Official is good in concealing his intentions.
If a matter does not benefit him,
he surely will not get involved with it.
He and Madame Chu surely has come up with an agreement.
Do not know what other secret collaborations are they planning to do.
Madame Chu and Tingwei Official both came from the southern state of Chu.
If they are just consoling each other for their homesickness, it is also not that strange.
Little sister, do you feel that the death of Lord Han Fei
is connected with them?
Actually, I also have been thinking about the same question these past days.
Although Tingwei Official is a classmate of Lord Han Fei,
he is jealous of Han Fei for being greatly favored by His Majesty.
Hence, he framed Han Fei to get imprisoned using his desire to save his mother state Han.
He then used this opportunity to deliver him a poison
and claim that it was His Majesty who ordered his death.
But thinking about it more clearly,
this matter does not seem to be that normal.
How is it not normal?
Madame! Oh, no! Madame!
Something bad has happened!
What is it?
Jing liangren is dead.
What?!
- Madame, slow down.- With this current situation, how can I slow down?
Why would Jing liangren just suddenly die?
That is Wu Fengyi from the palace of Grand Queen Dowager.
Greetings, Madame Chu.
Did I already sent someone to inform Grand Queen Dowager that I am going to see her personally? Why did you come here?
It is exactly because we received your message that I came here.
Madame, do not enter the palace today anymore.
Why?
Grand Queen Dowager has been sick recently and needs to recuperate.
The royal physician said that Grand Queen Dowager must recuperate with a clear mind
and calm her nerves. She will not be accepting any visits for the meantime.
How can that be?! Do you know that a huge problem has happened?!
I must personally explain the whole matter to Grand Queen Dowager.
Or else...if anything really happens, who will defend me?
This is also something that we can do nothing about.
Even if Madame charge into Huayang Palace now, Grand Queen Dowager will not still be able to see you.
Just to let Grand Queen Dowager feel more relaxed, royal physician
has been making her sleep quite deeply these past days.
That is why Madame, it is still better that you just go back.
Then Madame, what should we do now?
How would I know what to do?
Segments and Subtitles brought to you by the King's Beloved Volunteer Team @ Viki
- Royal physician, please stay.- Oh, Madame.
Royal physician, what really has happened to Jing liangren?
How could a healthy person just suddenly die like that?
Replying to Madame,
When I checked on Jing liangren earlier, her face has turned black.
Hence, she most likely died from poison.
Poison?
What person would have wanted to poison her?
Royal physician, what poison has killed Jing liangren?
Replying to Madame, I still am not sure yet. On my initial examination,
I noticed that liangren was having nonstop seizures and she had difficulty breathing.
Her face then slowly turned black and she died.
Maybe someone gave her a poison containing black false hellebore.
- Black false hellebore?- Yes.
This black false hellebore is a wild herb. A few years ago, it was commonly seen in the area where two rival armies are fighting.
Someone then put black false hellebore in the water being drank by the soldiers
and used that to weaken the power of the enemy army.
What I never expected was
someone will use such poison here in the palace.
Madams, I will then take my leave now.
Thank you, royal physician.
What person could have been this vile
that he would use such method to harm Jing liangren?
Your Majesty has arrived!
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty,
Today, you invited all of us for this meal.
But I do not know why the other ministers has resisted your decree and still have not arrived.
This...is so unruly.
What punishment must they be given?
Today, I only invited you all.
Come. Come forward to talk.
Yes.
I already cannot remember much about the 'Er Bing' (two handles/branches) that Lord Han Fei has authored.
Say a few lines for me then.
A wise king uses only two kinds of power handles
to control his subjects.
Those two handles
are punishment and reward.
How come just talking about Lord Han Fei, you have become like him
and are stuttering now?
Zhongchang Attendant,
was that letter that Lord Han Fei wrote to the king of Han
given to you to for safe keeping? Can I borrow and have a look at it?
May I ask Madame Li why you want to look at that letter?
Whatever is written in that letter concerns the innocence of Lord Han Fei.
If it was not written by Lord Han Fei,
it can prove that Lord Han Fei does not really have any intentions to collude with the king of Han.
Your Majesty, I ask that the letter be examine again.
Lord Han Fei is already dead.
Is there still a need to examine this letter?
Madame Chu, the characters of the seven states have similarities and differences.
Lord Han Fei came from the state of Han.
If this letter was indeed written by Lord Han Fei,
he wants to send the king of Han a secret message,
then what characters would Lord Han Fei use in this letter,
Han or Qin?
This...
Maybe Madame thinks that this secret letter of Lord Han Fei
should be written in Chu characters.
How could that be? How could it be in Chu characters?
Lord Changping.
I am here.
Lord Changping was born in the state of Chu and has been in Qin for so many years. He has vast knowledge and experiences.
He surely had came across characters of the seven state. Plus the fact that I was born in the former Wey State,
I am quite familiar with the Wei and Han characters.
Do not know if Your Majesty can allow
me and Lord Changping to verify this letter together?
If this is the order of Your Majesty,
I naturally will do the honor.
- Zhao Gao!- I am here.
- Bring the letter out.- Yes.
Li Si. Speak
Other than you in this palace, who else would murder Lord Han Fei?
Your Majesty
Your Majesty. I vow in all honesty.
Although I am jealous of Lord Han Fei's talents,
as former schoolmates, we've sympathized with each other for many years.
How can I harmed Lord Han Fei?
I hope Your Majesty will investigate this matter thoroughly to reveal the criminal.
And give justice to the death of Lord Han Fei!
Madame Li, isn't the writings on this silk similar to Chu writings?
Let Lord Changping explain first.
Lord Changping. What is your opinion?
Informing Your Majesty, it is true there are some similarities
How can that be? How can it be similar to Chu writings?
Madame Chu
You came to a judgment so quickly. Could you have seen the writings on this silk scroll in advance?
What I meant was I'm also a Chu. I can help read it.
Bring it for me to see.
Madame Chu
The poison that Lord Han Fei drank,
was it given by you?
Don't speak nonsense! What does it have to do with me?
Whether you did it or not, you know in your heart.
Your Majesty. I have been wrongly accused.
Lord Han Fei and I never had any hatred. Why would I harm him?
Your Majesty. Please distinguish right and wrong clearly, investigate the culprit.
Whether or not you were involved, we shall see how everything unfolds.
Zhao Gao
This was found in the prison of Lord Han Fei.
Jing Zongchang Attendant and Yongxiang prison investigated
this is the colored glass pearl of south Chu.
Dare I ask. Is this not yours?
Why would this colored glass pearl be in the internal prison?
Your Majesty, the internal palace also has other Chu people. They could've taken the colored glass pearl.
A bunch of nonsense!
This colored glass pearl is your south Chu's highest quality item.
Only royalty can have it. Tell me.
Except you in this palace, who else can have it?
Your Majesty. I've been wrongly accused! I've been wrongly accused!
All the palace people have confessed the poison is conferred by Madame Chu.
Now the evidence is definite, but you still will not admit it.
Furthermore, the doctor told me
this poison and the drug given to Jing liangren
both contained black false hellebore (a highly toxic flower). Such a coincidence,
Tell me. If you can word by word,
prove this colored glass pearl is not related to you.
I will believe you.
Madame Chu, You made Jing liangren have recurrent miscarriages.
Why must you put her to death?
I..Your Majesty, I have been wrongly accused.
I did not kill her!
The dirty things you have done lately
really make me bitterly disappointed. Don't think I don't know
the matter of Madame Li's kidnap was also done by you.
It's just I can't find the evidence. I can't convict you. That's all.
Your Majesty. I have been wrongly accused.
This colored glass pearl. I gave this colored glass pearl to Han zhangshi.
That letter was also provide by Han zhangsi.
Right. It was Han zhangsi who is evil.
It was Han zhangsi who wanted to harm me!
In this court, who does not know that Han zhangshi listens to you?
If not because you instructed her, how can a measly zhangshi
be this bold?!
Tell me! What else do you want to say?!
You and Li Si colluded. You still want to blame others.
Li Si! What excuses do you still have to say?!
Informing Your Majesty. I am terrified.
I..I'm only jealous that Han Fei was valued by Your Majesty.
But I am swearing that
I absolutely did not poison Lord Han Fei.
I really did not do it.
You guys say it was not an attack on Han Fei.
The tell me, who were you intending to attack?
Was it me?!
I would not dare.
Your Majesty. I have been wrongly accused!
Because Madame Chu framed Lord Han Fei and killed the state's guest official,
she will be demoted as 4th rank liangren and expelled from Zhaode palace.
Take her away!
Your Majesty. I have been wrongly accused! I have been wrongly accused!
Your Majesty! I have been wrongly accused!
Your Majesty!
Your Excellency Tingwei
Are you not curious what really is written in this letter?
This silk document really was not written in Chu.
It is clearly Han writing. It is Han writing.
When did I say it was Chu writing on this silk scroll document?
It was your guilt that has haunted you.
It's obvious that Your Excellency Tingwei hasn't seen the silk scroll document.
But when you were accusing Lord Han Fei that time, you were full of reasons.
It turns out you set a trap.
If I didn't set a trap, how could I bait you to say it?
I just used your own guilt to make you admit to your crime.
Li Si. What else do you want to say?
I have been accused wrongly. Your Majesty, I have been accused wrongly.
Your Majesty
I have really been wrongly accused.
Li Si colluded with Madame Chu to frame the prisoner, Lord Han Fei.
In remembrance of your meritorious service to great Qin, I punish you 50 planks.
For what you owe great Qin,
you will use your lifetime of blood and sweat to pay back!
Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness not to kill me.
Take him away!
I suspect someone used Madam Chu to kill Sir Han Fei.
Of course this is all just my speculation.
I just keep thinking there is a secret we have not discovered.
Your Excellency.
Because of your guidance, the Qin army suffered a great defeat this time.
Using Li Mu to defeat Qin, this is just the first step.
To help prince to get the throne, we still have a lot to do.
If you really have the intention to return to Yan, why did you not discuss it with me?
I treated you like my brother, my friend.
Yet you instead made the king of Yan that was so distant with you to write me a letter.
How do you want me to think?!
You letting me still stay at Xianyang until now is treating me unfairly!
Your Highness Crown Prince, His Majesty has orders that since there are much disturbances in the city lately,
given Your Highness precious noble status, His Majesty especially ordered me
to bring a troop of Huben Army to guard your manor to ensure your safety.
From now on, all people coming in and out from here will be checked by my Huben Army.
Why did Crown Prince Dan of Yan gave me this?
Why is it the 'Book of Songs'?
Help
Dan
Leave
Qin
