Episode 15
How privileged to be a relative to the royal family,
attending the ritual even after committing such a mistake
Hai Lan Cha
To be fair,
you are also one of aides of the emperor
yet you are not as imprudent as Hong Xiao
So
the title of Noble Prince Yi
is not something else
No gossiping
What's happening?
Being so hectic.
Your Majesty
Search.
Yes
What happened?
Your Majesty, we found it
Hong Xiao
Why does the royal family want to share prosperity by sharing meat?
Do you stil remember the reason?
Yes, I remember
Our ancestor left their family at young age.
And brought all the brothers to hunt into the mountains.
They survived on meat boiled in plain water.
Later, this became a tradition. After we, the Great Qing, came in
Kun Ning Palace sacrifices twice a day, once on day time and once at night, and hold a great sacrifice every month.
In order to let future generations
bear in mind the hardships that the ancestors have endured,
that is not an easy task to establish the country of Great Qing.
Since you know all
Why did you add salt to the meat?
Adding salt?
I did not.
Taste it yourself.
Our ancestors can endure
But you can't.
Adding salt to the meat of the gods
is despising the first ancestor
and disrespectful to the gods. How audacious you are!
Guards!
Prince Yi disrespected the ancestors, salted the meat
Revoke the position of Qianqing Gate Guard from Noble Prince Yi
Hand him to the Imperial Clan Court!
Your majesty!
Your majesty, I didn't do it !
Your Majesty !
i really didn't bring salt into the palace
Your Majesty, I am innocent ! Your Majesty!
Your Majesty I am wronged !
In the day and night sacrifices, water boiled pork is distributed
this is the ancestor's blessing,
Gods' blessing.
However, unlike Prince Yi,
the members of our grand family who used to be brave and battle wise,
turned into cockroaches who live on ancestors' glory,
who wander around petting dogs and birds. without any serious business to do
Not to mention battling in warfare.
The meat eating
is considered a suffering now.
I have to warn you,
It was hard for the ancestors to establish Great Qing
I absolutely do not allow
our country
to be ruined by prodigal decedents who only like to enjoy life
and who disrespect their ancestors!
Investigate
investigate the guards outside as well!
I want to see, who else as well
dare do so
Yes
Search!
What happened?
How can slaves like you
investigate us
Hai Lan Cha
I am sorry for offending you
Investigate !
Officer Fu Heng, please
Your Majesty.
Anyone else?
Imperial Guards, Qian Qing Gate Guards
these people all accepted investigation
there was nobody else who dared do that.
After all, others are obeying
Carry on the meat dining
Ministers, please carry on the meat dining
How come Fu Heng wasn't caught?
Young Master
Are you alright?
I was really scared.
Prince Yi just put some salt
He got fired,
and sent to Imperial Clan Court.
If I knew that
I shouldn't given you salt and pepper.
Luckily, you didn't bring it with you today.
So
I knew it already
It is you who reported Prince Yi
Right
You..
What's with me?
Are you blaming me for telling on him?
Since he is the Iron-cap king of Great Qing
a noble member of royal family
he can tell me to kneel
and I should take his scold
Is it so?
I'm telling you
I'm from lower class
yet I will not take in any bullying
He is a prince
The world changes
The mountains once high up
can be flat in the future
Nothing is eternal in the world
You are not only vengeful
but also extremely audacious I'm only giving him a lesson.
Letting him know that
even an ant can charge into an elephant.
One who bullies others
gets owned eventually
How about me?
You got lucky
due to your suspicion at first place?
No
I just don't wanna disobey ancestors' allocution
so I ditched the seasoning
It seems that
Young Master is a nobleman
However, in what world will a nobleman destroy others' decency
Again and again you tricked me
because of Ah-Man, is it so?
Yes
If I told you that
I didn't do it
would you believe me?
Do you think I will?
I swear to god
I was not involved
If you don't believe me,
you can kill me right now.
Do you think i won't dare to do it?
You surely will
Is there anything you don't dare to do?
But no means no
I have never harmed your sister
I have never harmed Ah-Man
If you don't believe
now you can use this dagger
to stab me in my chest
Ying Ruo
I will say it once more.
Fu Heng will never do anything harmful,
never ever.
Sister
I haven't killed him
As this is in the royal palace
If I actually killed him
What will happen to father?
Even so
I've made a big mistake
I can't be staying in Chang Chun Palace any more
The empress wants to see you
I told you
you're going to rot in hell
Wei Ying Luo
Do you acknowledge your fault
Ying Luo
Empress has a good temper
Just confess
It is too late to apologize
You committed such a big mistake just wait for life sentence
Ying Ruo's (My) mistake is on my own
and only myself
Please just punish me alone
You
Where did you get those guts
I never noticed
What are you laughing at
Empress, you just can stand Ying Ruo being wronged
She told on Prince Yi
and you hesitate to punish her
The incident of Prince Yi framing Ying Ruo,
is also an insult to us Chang Chun Palace Of course I felt upset
and hoped he got punished
But he is the first cousin of Emperor
I can't argue without Emperor's permission
However, this audacious person
dare to touch an Iron-cap king (Prince)
Empress blaming Ying Ruo
it's regarding this matter
Is there any other matter?
Fu Heng hasn't said a word to the Empress,
how is this possible ?
What other matter is there, say it now...
in case it gets me again
How do you know? How do I know?
Fu Heng sent a message saying you are audacious and relentless
and told me to let me teach you a lesson.
He is doing it for your own good
If not, who knows what kind of fuss you're gonna make
Guard Fu Cha (Fu Heng) did not mention anything else?
Who do you think Guard Fu Cha is
why would he waste more time on you?
Probably, the Emperor is glad about this.
What do you mean?
The ministers hate the taste of unseasoned meat.
They like to use tricks,
not only once or twice
Using this change of punishing Prince Yi,
the Emperor gave others a warning
Otherwise, Emperor could've schooled him instead
why sent him to the Imperial Clan Court
Wei Ying Ruo
Even if you're right
one who is nitpicking on everything
does not live a happy life
For everything, compromise will make a conflict much easy to resolve
I punish you by copying "pardon" for 100 times
Empress
As audacious as she is,
she gets away with such an easy way!
I just teached her to compromise by stepping back
Yet if I punish her severely
Doesn't it contradict to my own words?
You are favoring her in every way!
Ming Yu!
Today, the things happened here
stay between us four
Nobody is revealing a thing.
Keep it in mind
No word gets out
Otherwise
I will not pardon anyone.
yes
Dismissed
yes
Hold on
Any orders, Empress
Fu Heng was injured during military practice
I'm very concerned
Send him some ginger soup from me.
Empress, I can do that
You?
You won't be returning in 2 hours
Only causing others' gossip
Ying Ruo, go ahead
Be quick Yes
You were injured at military practice field?
Why didn't I know?
It's only an injury due to carelessness during practice
You just keep on nagging. Are you tired?
Royal Guard
Amongst the Royal Guards of Qian Qing Gate
who can hurt you?
Unless he pulled dirty trick.
Tell me who he is.
I'll take care of him for you!
A bet is a bet.
It's my own business. Don't bother
Ungrateful
Maid Ying Ruo
Why did you come?
Empress send me with some ginger soup
Since it is delivered
I will see myself out
Maid Ying Ruo
Empress didn't order you to do anything else?
What?
Of course to comfort
the injured Guard Fu Cha
Excuse me, Excuse me
Why didn't you inform the Queen?
I was the one that hurt you
I did not cause any harm to Ah Man
Since I'm clean
the truth will be revealed sooner or later
You think a small kind gesture
can buy me off?
I'm telling you
I am cold hearted-
I won't believe in you just based on one or two words-
Ying Luo,
I'm telling you again
I never harmed your elder sister.
Not to mention..
to hurt you
The first time I asked you
if you knew of Ah Man,
why did you pretend you didn't know her?
The matter of Ah Man
rippled the whole city
Even after she was out of Forbidden City
The rumors didn't stop spreading
I have heard of this matter before But I have never met Ah Man.
That's why i said I never knew her.
Why was your jade pendant on her then?
That jade pendant was lost by me
Why did she keep it on her, I really don't know
Every word that you said
comes from your heart
without a bit fabrication?
I don't need to fool you
If I am the murderer
I could've confessed to the Empress.
Would you have any opportunity to get revenge?
Okay
I believe you for now
If one day,
it turns out you're lying
I will take your life for a life, even if I die.
Wait,
Is there anything else?
Before, you came to me for revenge
with fake smiles
Now that I'm no good for you
you just turn your back on me
Ying Luo, do you have the ability to change faces?
Since the very first time,
I was suspicious of you
Later on,
I saw your gentleness on Snowball (the dog)
Again, I was blinded.
Ying Ruo
It is never you tricking me,
it's rather me tricking myself
Young Master
I'm very sorry
That I have hurt you.
I don't want any apology
I only want
true actions
Didn't the Empress send you with some soup?
I'm injured
How is it? I'm hurt in the chest
Royal Physician said I need to rest in bed
I can't even raise my hands
So Maid Ying Ruo please
take care of me.
You want me to feed you!?
That is an action you should do to a patient
and an action of apologizing
Hot
Ying Luo
Every word you said to me,
every smile you gave me,
is always on my mind.
Although I clearly know you were fooling me all this time
I would rather not to believe that
Can you tell me,
I was stabbed for only one inch.
Is it because you don't want to kill me,
or you have some feelings towards me?
Young Master.
Your behavior,
is kinda inappropriate.
Haha!
What a cute couple.
I ran into it right away
Chang Chun Palace has a lot of chores to complete, i'm leaving
Please don't leave, I'm just joking around.
Sorry brother
Who knows she can't take a joke.
I'll feed you, no problem, I'm here
I can do it myself
Hot
that's painful
enough, enough
let go you...
Fu Chang, Fu Heng
Can I believe you?
4th Prince, don't resist, come on
4th Prince, take the medicine please
4th Prince
what's up with Yong Cheng?
Consort Xian
Consort Xian, 4th Prince caught a cold,
but he refuses to take the medicine prescribed by Royal Doctor.
A kid at this age surely doesn't like medicine
Ask Royal Doctor
Can it add more liquorice?
It will be easier for 4th Prince to take
still haven't gone? Yes
What's wrong Yong Cheng?
Go away, you villainess.
I want my mom, I want my mom! Consort Xian please excuse him,
4th Prince is still too young.
If he offended you
I'm apologizing for him
Prince is still young, while you are not
What villainess
who taught Prince this word?
Let it go, Pearl
The kid is still young
he misses his mother naturally
Don't pick on a kid
Consort
Yong Cheng, Yong Cheng
Mom's here
Come on Yong Cheng
Yong Cheng
Yong Cheng, look at your mother
My goodness
It's been only a few days
How come Yong Cheng becomes so slim?
What kind of care are you taking for him
The noble body of prince
How can it be mistreated by you like this
Noble Lady, I dare not
I was taking good care of prince
without any ease
Taking good care?
Tell me then.
What happened to the prince?
It must be due to your careless care.
Noble Consort what are you talking about?
Consort worries about 4th Prince deeply
Royal Doctor was sent again and again
What's so-called "careless care"?
Mom's come
Mom is here,
none of them will mistreat you.
I miss you so much
Come on, since Noble Lady is visiting 4th Prince
Let your mom check
Niang niang, Noble Lady is gone?
It is an obvious act that she just cried in front of you
Pearl
I'm not mistaking it.
It's only been half a month since 4th Prince came. She comes here frequently
and cries heavily
It's causing rumors out there
They're thinking you are mistreating 4th Prince.
Noble lady Jia loves her son and cares for him.
There's nothing wrong about it
4th Prince is fostered in Cheng Qian Palace
It is the Emperor's order.
She should the go to the Emperor.
Why is she picking on you?
It's just because you are too kind
I don't care what Noble Lady Jia thinks
After all, the little kid is innocent
Since I'm keeping him
I have to take good care of him
yes, yes, yes
Empress is always so kind
I was being mean
Yong Cheng
Fine. No eating
Where's the porridge I sent
4th Prince does't like porridge
I asked the kitchen to cook some soup
Rest assured.
The soup is made of rice with some grind meat
If the prince doesn't eat a bit,
I'm afraid that he will run out energy
Let me do it.
Yong Cheng, have the soup please
Yong Cheng If you are brave and eat your meals,
I'll ask your mom to visit you everyday.
Deal?
4th Prince, you can't be acting like this
Not only your mother, also your father
Be good and listen, I'll invite him to come visit you.
Consort, how about this hair clasp?
4th Prince is still sick
I don't have any mood for cosmetics
Just go with want you perfer
Consort
You are just too kind,
so kind to 4th Prince
yet you get misunderstood.
I can't even remain silent for you.
All right
Go to the Royal Doctors' later
ask Doctor Zhang to feel his pulse
He is better at pediatrics
Yes
Consort, Consort, Consort!
Go check on 4th Prince
Consort Xian
My kick is so sick
while you act like nothing happened
Return my healthy kid to me
Noble Lady
Noble Lady Jia, what are you doing?
Everyone says,
you're able and virtuous
But how were you taking care of him
See with your own eyes
Consort Xian, 4th Prince is having a serious fever
its very scary
Yong Zheng has a fever again?
Let me see
Don't touch my son
What are you doing?
Greetings, your majesty
Your Majesty, come check this
Go get Doctor Zhang
Yes
Emperor, I wasn't careful enough
and got 4th Prince sick
I feel deeply sorry, and please pardon me, your Majesty
Consort
You stayed until early in the morning for 4th Prince
And he was quite well then
It is an accident that he gets fever now
How come this is you to blame?
Pearl, silence
Your majesty
It was my mistake
And I don't dare to ask for pardon
Even if you take Yong Cheng away from me
I will have to obey However, Consort Xian
she isn't Yong Cheng's birth mother
Plus she doesn't have any experience on caring children
It's been only half a month since Yong Cheng came here
He's now sick for the second time
I came to visit this morning
only to find he was feverish and mumbling.
"Mom" he constantly called,
"Mom"
My heart broke when I heard that, your majesty
No matter how mistaken I was
you can accuse me and punish me
But the kid is innocent.
How little he is
How can he leave his birth mother?
Consort Xian
I saw how bad his fever was
I wasn't being purposely disrespectful to you.
Please forgive a soul of a mother
When witnessing kid suffering,
as a mother, I only wish that was me instead of my child.
Consort Xian, I am begging you
Please say something nice to the emperor for me
Let me take Yong Cheng back
Please
Please get up first
I can't be taking this, please get up
Consort Xian, everyone knows your kindness
How can you stand by while seeing them seperated
This...
Your majesty
Noble lady was wrong indeed
I am not begging mercy for her
However, no one is flawless
You own a great nation and bear a great heart
Just for Yong Cheng's sake
can't you give Noble Lady Jia a second chance?
Even if you don't want her to foster Yong Cheng
There's me here
I can ensure
if I can bring Yong Cheng to Chu Xiu Palace
I will educate him well
This way, with Noble Lady Jia, his own mother around
she can assist
and stay with her son
in case she gets any mental condition
Your majesty, be merciful
Let me take 4th Prince back
Why is Noble Lady Jia so in rush to take 4th Prince?
Greetings, your majesty
Don't bother
Doctor Zhang, go check on 4th Prince right away Your majesty
In Cheng Qian Palace, a new place
4th Prince surely feels uncomfortable
Let me take 4th Prince back to Chu Xiu Palace please
I will then ask Doctor Zhang to diagnose Just let Doctor Zhang to diagnose
how long could it take
Noble Lady Jia you are kinda too rushing
Other than fever
does 4th Prince have other conditions?
This..
4th Prince said he felt pain in his body
but can't state where exactly.
So I was quite confused..
4th Prince has a pale tongue,
and a hot forehead
The pulse
on one point, it is unstable and slow
on the other, it is quite smooth
It's the condition of catching a cold
Let prescribe some medicine for 4th Prince to take
He will be alright shortly
Thank you so much Doctor Zhang
Your majesty
let me take 4th Prince
back to Chu Xiu Palace then
Your majesty, check this
4th Prince is suffering
And I...
just can not stand this
Consort Xian
what's your opinion
I failed to take care of 4th Prince
I regret deeply
As long as the prince turns healthy I don't have a second opinion
Consort Sister Xian You are just way too kind
Do you even know
Noble Lady cried all the way here
Now words are spreading
saying you were mean to 4th prince
Now
if you let her take the kid
it equals the proof of your wrong-doing
Consort Chun
I know you are thinking for me
But rumors ends at wise people
I'm OK with it as long as I have a clear conscience
Elder sister, you indeed have a clear conscience
But you just push 4th Prince into the ditch
Consort Chu
What do you mean by that'
Will I the birth mother,
mistreat my own son?
Consort Chun
Pick a right time for nonsense
4th Prince is still sick now
Your lying accusation
what's with it?
Doctor Zhang just said
4th Prince caught a cold
But you know
what season this is
In this room, the windows are shut
He is covered with quilt
Tell me
where is the cold from?
My repect to Consort Chu
There is a saying among the folk
"To keep a kid safe and sound
always offer him a bit hunger and cold" Wearing to much
or covering to much
leads to sweat and cold
causing more problems
As such
More covering means more likelihood for getting sick
this slave has been
taking care of 4th Prince
he has never
been sick from birth
4th Pince's diet
last night
he had some rice with minced meat
Considering 4th Prince's weak body
is too much for him.
He should drink some light porridge.
This chicken is too much to digest.
It's a
big supplement
Of course 4th prince
is going to be uncomfortable eating so much
I told the kitchen to send rice porridge
but prince refused to eat it
The
porridge was sent from
the western kitchen
So
4th Prince
was not willing to drink it
the mother
also sent fish soup
Chenzhe Xian fei niang niang
did not
quietly followed
This is too hard.
The child is sick
he id weak,
has gastrointestinal dysfunction.
If you gave him fish soup,
he is sure to get diarrhea
yes
4th Prince has diarrhea
but still shouting with pain
you are saying now
but previously didn't
take her away
for interrogation
i want to know why my prince is sick
take her away
your majesty spare me, your majesty spare me
this noble person
this useless person
this useless person this slave
is begging you
Please have mercy,
this servant (I) had no choice.
but to obey order
You are full of nonsense!
Speak up
Is it not Consort Xian
who coerced you to do it?
Noble lady Jia
how can you pretend to be
a total different person?
It was your words clearly
Only in this way
the 4th prince
can go back to Chuxiu Palace
Your majesty
It's not true. Your majesty
I am the mother of 4th prince
how would I do this
to my own child, your majesty
Noble Lady Jia
4th prince is only 2 years old now
How can you do such a thing
He is depending on you
Even it's your own son,
you don't hesitate to do so.
Surely Noble Lady Jia
has no intention to harm 4th Prince
She just wanted to get her son back from Consort Xian
Unfortunately
on her mind
4th Prince is not her son
He is not like a leverage
for power and fortune
No
Not ture
Your majesty, Your majesty
I didn't do it!
Your majesty
It's all Consort Xian's plot
No
Consort Chun as well
you
You're in on this too
I was in Chu Xiu Palace all this time
how can I have such an impact
It must be...
It must be Consort Xian
Yong Cheng always dislikes Consort Xian
By doing this
she can make Yong Cheng
hates me, his birth mother, forever
By doing this
she can take Yong Cheng for good
Your majesty
Consort Xian doesn't have a kid right now
She doesn't know much about children's diet
Only the nanny knows 4th Prince well
You are taking advantage with this
to frame Consort Xian
How despicable
No
Your majesty
Until now
you don't feel sorry
I think the badest thing for Yong Cheng
is have such a mother like you
Come on
Noble Lady Jia is not being benign
She does not deserve to be a mother
From now on, deprive her title
and downgrade to repliant
relocate her for grounding
Your majesty
I did not
I did not, your majesty
Come on, take them both
Your majesty, I cannot Your majesty, pardon my life
Your majesty
Noble Consort
Help me please
What a Noble Lady Jia
You are so relentless
that you do such to your own son
You turely disappointed me
Yet now
you wish me to begging for your mercy That's impossible
Noble Consort
How can you...
But I can
take very good care of 4th Prince for you considering our past
Be a lamb and get out
Your majesty, Your majesty, Your majesty
Yong Cheng, Yong Cheng, my kid
Yong Cheng
Your majesty
What a world of surprises
How could I expect
Noble Lady Jia
took advantage of my kindness
in order to frame Consort Xian
Such a woman
truly does not deserve to be Yong Cheng's mother
However
Yong Cheng lived in Chu Xiu Palace before
His sudden leave
is quite change for him
In my opinion
is it possible for me
to take Yong Cheng back to Chu Xiu Palace
and to take good care of him
Otherwise
Consort Xian doesn't know much
and almost made a mistake
Your majesty
what do you think?
Noble Consort
Consort Xian doesn't know how to take care of kids
but practice can make perfect
Her warm heart for the kid,
is much better than the birth mother
Yong Cheng
stays in Cheng Qian Place
Concort Xian is capable for taking good care of him
Thank you, your majesty
I heard that Consort Chun is well-informed
and good at medical knowledge
Today, I've got a lesson
Noble Lady, you're flattering me
I'm far from that
