Story of Yanxi Palace(Episode 20)
Why?
Berberine removes internal heat, dry, damp
It will remove the toxins.
Ye Tian Shi
Yes
Has she drunk the medicine?
With Your Majesty's oral decree of course she has to drink the medicine
But I just don't understand
Why does Your Majesty want her to drink berberine?
That girl is crafty
She needs to get rid of the toxins
Berberine will let her do this
and is suitable for her
And as well
Is there any medicine more bitter that can treat her sickness?
Your Majesty
You might as well kill her. There's nobody who can torment others like Your Majesty
I am a wise monarch
How can a wise monarch just casually kill people working in the court?
If the news spreads out
Civilians would blame me
for being intolerant.
Yes Yes Yes
What I said was wrong.
Replying to Your Majesty
The bitterest herbs
berberine, cauliflower, gentian
their bitterness are all hard to tolerate
But the most bitterest is the sophora
From now on
the dose should be three times a day
every time with different bitter herbs
to let her experience different kinds of bitterness
If she doesn't drink
force her to drink.
Bitter pills may have wholesome effects.
I do this
as her benefactor to save her.
Do you all understand what I say?
Yes. I will do as Your Majesty decrees.
Eunuch Li
If His Majesty really hates Miss Ying Luo
he could just kill her with poison, and leave no trouble
How can His Majesty torture her like that?
Hasn't His Majesty said?
Although Wei Ying Luo talked wildly
after all she cured His Majesty's sickness.
so Wei Ying Luo has made a positive contribution.
By then we could declare that she died because she could not be cured
that would be simpler
What do you mean?
It is hard to guess His Majesty's intention
His Majesty's intention is not something that can be guessed by ordinary people
So just do as what His Majesty said
Do not think too much
Get it
Was it him?
Miss Ying Luo. It's me
Physician Ye
This sulphur ointment is a cure for scabies.
That's not the correct diagnosis.
Come - change it for this one.
Thank You. Physician Ye
You're welcome
But
Miss Ying Luo
I have something that I don't understand
so I'd like to ask you
Okay
You clearly know that you have been allergic to peanuts since when you were little.
Why on earth do you still eat them when they cause a big red rash?
As well, you told me to put on record that you had scabies.
Do you really want to know?
I angered His Majesty intentionally.
When he recovered
Firstly he would want to get even with me.
If I was infected
even if he was very angry
he could not punish me.
After all, everyone knows that
I got infected because I took care of His Majesty
I understand
You are the only one that can abuse His Majesty and not get into trouble
I really respect you.
I abused His Majesty
as a way to treat his sickness
But His Majesty said that you did this to vent your resentment
Look
There is an old saying that 'Faithful words grate upon the ear', and it is difficult to be a loyal courtier
I am now being misunderstood
But I'd still like to thank you because you helped me to escape my troubles.
I admire your loyalty to His Majesty
Rest assured. I will try my best to keep your secret
Thank you
Where's that humble servant?
Are you referring to Miss Wei?
Miss Wei has already recovered
and returned to Changchun Palace
When?
Last night
Your Majesty. Please spare us
I am guilty. I am guilty
Do you know what mistake you made?
Please tell me
She was clearly infected
The sickness lasts at least one month
How can she be cured more quickly than me.
Perhaps her sickness wasn't as serious.
Idiot!
It's because from the beginning she wasn't sick.
You actually let her go.
Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes
A big red rash
It's scary
Wait
If this red rash was fake.
Your Majesty
This is the crime of deceiving the Emperor.
You definitely have to punish her severely
Change my clothes.
I want to go personally to Chang Chun Palace to ask about this crime.
Have you heard? Wei Ying Luo offended His Majesty
and came safely out of Yang Xin Hall.
She boldly offended His Majesty and yet came out safely.
That's really a miracle.
That day at Yang Xin Hall even a desk was split open.
the Emperor was really furious.
You don't know
Physician Ye followed the example of Hua Tuo (famous doctor from Han Dynasty)
He wanted to get His Majesty angry to clear his blood congestion.
but no-one dared to go against the Emperor
It was Ying Luo who had the courage to stand up and do it.
She saved the Emperor
Really - she's really bold.
Yes
I also heard
that Ying Luo was not only brave
but she caught scabies as well.
Look at her
She is the person in Chang Chun Palace who should be most proud of herself.
Now, she helped the Emperor recover
It's easy to feel provoked
I think
Our Emperor can tolerate what ordinary people can't.
He's a broad-minded and righteous ruler.
If it was someone else
Ying Luo might have lost her head.
If this matter comes out
Who wouldn't praise our Emperor's benevolence
and Ying Luo"s loyalty and courage
Even if they hear only a part of the story. Exactly!
Emperor
Are we still going to Chang Chun Palace?
Turn around.
You didn't hear what was just said.
Everyone believes she enraged me to cure me
caught that foul disease while attending to me
Even if the story gets out
People will all believe she is an admired and strong, faithful servant.
Furthermore her sickness is already cured
If I issue an edict now
wouldn't that not be admitting that I'm a bad ruler.
This time I have no choice but to suffer in silence.
wronged but can't speak out.
Emperor
Catch up with him.
Guess who it is.
Ying Luo
Don't play these kinds of jokes.
What if we're seen by somebody outside?
Your reputation will be damaged.
That serious?
then why
has somebody secretly looked after me in the night?
What are you saying?
Every time
my skin was sensitive and itching all over
Physician Ye gave me a stronger dose of medicine
Therefore I was dazed and muddled
but every evening
a Snail Prince came to my side
and looked after me
That Snail Prince
wasn't it you?
Are you sick?
Where are you not comfortable?
You really didn't take care of me?
How could I not know
As long as I stay overnight in the palace
I must be on duty and on guard
How can I rush about and take care of you. It wasn't you?
Then, then who could it be?
Can it be that that's what you're spending your day thinking about
and your nights, dreaming about?
Ying Luo, am I in your dreams?
I
What's happening?
How could I dream about you?
Truly I didn't
Forget it. forget it.
Since it wasn't you
then I'll leave now.
Ying Luo
I don't want to do your turn on duty again.
I've done ten evenings already! Sshh.
Don't t talk now!
I'm falling apart
Sshh! Fu Heng
You're shameless.
Shameless?
Ying Luo
Big mouth!
What's up?
Ying Luo
Don't be angry
It very clearly was you.
You secretly went into my room
And you still acted like you didn't know
Tell me. What do you really want?
I...
You deliberately bullied someone
I think I will tell the Empresss.
Ying Luo
Sorry, sorry
I.. it wasn't my intention.
So tell me.
Why did you pretend it wasn't you?
Rashly going into your room
it is so appropriate
But you were sick. You needed someone to take care of you
So I was only able to come up with this bad plan.
Saying it like this,
Master thinks that he's a gentleman
Whose behaviour is really big-hearted
I am!
So then why did you kiss me?
I
I...
Empress
The painting of water
The brush flows smoothly
the Divine Luo painting
The form is painted so wonderfully
Regardless, they are a gift for the Emperor
He will definitely like them.
I deliberated for a long time - I was uncertain
So I wanted to ask you to help me to decide
but you also don't have a definite opinion
Ying Luo
What do you think?
Of course, it's the painting of mountains and water.
Its brushwork contains power but it is neat and efficient.
IIt's also Fuheng who sent "Si Jing Shan Shui" painting in the middle of summer
Ming Yue
Consort Chun didn't ask you
How can you speak without being asked
'That's not good manners. Leave the room.
Empress, don't get angry.
Ming Yue was very outspoken this time I'm just worried that her old weakness is not changing.
It might cause trouble in the future.
so I'm being very strict
I hope that she can understand the trouble I'm taking.
Ying Luo, you still haven't spoken
Consort Chun
If you want me to choose
I definitely choose the Ming Shen painting.
Why?
Divine Luo, flies and looks around with an eternal affection
She looks like Your Highness
When the Emperor sees this painting
He will think of the painter
Isn't that good?
Perfect. That's it.
Your Highness
Please use this Divine Luo painting as His Majesty's gift
Your Highness
Changchun Palace's water painting,
Can I borrow it to make a copy?
Er Qing
Yes
Have it sent. This is now Chunfei's.
Mine?
Your Highness, you don't have to.
It's not like it's an expensive item
If you like it,
you can take it
Thank you Madam
Well hurry up
Please wait,
I'll head back in to notify them
What is it?
Ming Yu
Concubine Shu and Qin are here to greet the Empress
I'm going to announce it
Her Highness is resting. She can't see guests.
Miss Mingyu
I've specifically pulled some favor to bring some Xie Yan food from Fu Jian
To offer them to Her Highness
Please notify her
ChangChun Palace receives a lot of special favors
We've seen all kinds of gifts.
This is nothing compared to all the others
Miss Mingyu, we didn't mean to offend anyone
I told you, Madam doesn't see guests.
Come back another day
Please
You!
Okay
Then we'll come back another time
Let's go
Sis Mingyu
Isn't this not appropriate?
It's just two unfavored Concubines
I'm not scared. Why would you be?
But-but...
You still don't understand?
Na Lan Chun Xue has been here for several times, and has given flowers and gifts etc.
Do you really think she is sincere?
Let me tell you, she just wants to get close to the Empress.
To get close to the Emperor!
The empress is kind and doesn't feel good to reject,
then let me be the bad guy to tell her not to come anymore.
This is not right...
There must be someone in...
But she lied to us that the Empress is resting!
How dare she be so arrogant!
Na Lan sister, let's just not cause trouble anymore. Let's leave it.
If you don't have a place here,
you can still find somewhere else that accepts you.
Sister, where are you going?Wait for me.
I've already heard about the reputation of Mr. Shilang's daughter.
That she is educated, smart, and beautiful.
I have always been curious.
But you waited until today to pay tribute to me.
Please forgive me, Niang Niang.
I have been sick in the past couple days,
didn't dare to come, because I didn't want to get you sick.
Now I am well, I came immediately!
Did you get sick? Hm!
Are you better now?
I am only fully recovered now,
to dare to come here.:)
Chang Chun Hall didn't want you,
then you came here.
What do you think this place is? Get lost!
We are wrong to have bothered you.
We will be leaving now. Sister...
It's because Chang Chun Hall
look down on people.
So I left.
Now is Chu Xiu Hall the same way,
looking down on us low level concubines?
Yes,
It is true that I am low ranked now.
But how can you know if in the future,
I won't be advancing my rank!
I will see myself out!
Stand there!
What's Niang Niang's order now?
If you want to come seek refuge to my power,
but can't take a few harsh words.
What do you think you can become?
Niang Niang...
There is a bad dog in Chang Chun Hall,
She's always barking. Very annoying.
If you want to come to my power,
I will give you a chance to prove your royalty.
Do you want me to
get rid of the bad dog?
Please be asure!
I won't let you down!
Na lan sister, what do you want to do?
Look at your coward face.
I bring you to see Lady Gao.
You? too scared to say a word.
I... I am adraid...
Ok! I know you are scared.
I will take care of this myself. You don't have to know about it.
Sister!
Na lan sister, wait for me!
Empre...
Empress,
I have framed the painting.
I am surprised.
Ru Yi Hall was so fast.
I thought they would take two more days.
Have you again thought of(her late son)...
Now we can make it to the The Emperor's birthday.
So your investigation is over?
This lead's over
But with patience,
I'll find the truth one day
Geez. Such a stubborn one. I can't persuade you
but you have to be careful
Momo don't worry
Oh right, Momo
There used to be a bag of silks
which comes from Hu Zhou
I went there and searched for it. Where did you hide it? Geez, look at you. You're more and more daring.
Those are precious
Momo
I want to help the Empress
The Empress?
Yingluo
I don't understand you anymore
You went to Changchun Palace for your sister, right?
Nowadays,
why did you start worrying about the empress's matter?
If I tell you,
you can't laugh at me!
Ok. No laughing.
The empress treats me so well.
No matter what mistakes I've made, she always tries to protect me.
She teaches me how to read and write personally!
Everytime when I see her smile,
it is as if I see my sister.
So I have to help her!
The empress is so noble.
She's also the head of the Inner Palace.
How can you help her?
Don't think I am useless!
Small people...can be capable too!
The empress's painting, I have been looking forward to it.
Now can I take a look?
Today you are in Tai He Hall,
to accept gifts from everyone.
There must be no treasures that you haven't seen.
I am only playing in front of masters.
When my dad was alive, he thought highly of you skills.
This painting,
is very artistic
and powerful.
It has the style of a master.
This pavilion, did you use a special way to draw it?
The emperor has good eye.
It has an upscale taste.
and yet very powerful.
Good painting!
Li Yu, keep it carefully.
The emperor,
I am not as skillful as the empress.
Can't give you painting like that.
So I kept thinking,
and thought about borrowing other people's skills to give you.
This song...
The sound of this instrument...
Emperor, I humbly ask you
to open the curtain personally.
What instruments are they holding?
How come I can't recognize any of them?
That may be flute.
This is amazing.
I have never seen it before.
This are western instruments bought by my grandfather!
The two western players from before
bought these instruments to the palace.
Your grandfather had learned it briefly.
I found them in the warehouse by accident.
They were covered by dust. I thought it was wasteful.
Then found two masters to teach them.
Well the result is good!
These instruments were disregarded for a long time.
I didn't think that we can still see them today!
This flute
is a gift by a French master!
This violin
This violin was made by Qing people
based on the instructions given by the violin master Thomas.
My grandfather was really fond of it.
He learned it from Mr. Thomas for two years.
and could play by himself!
Noble Lady,
It must have been a big effort to organize this team to play this instruments!
Organizing was not the hard part,
The hard part was to find all these people
that could play the instruments!
But as long as you are pleased,
It was worthy. :)
I am happy!
I haven't been this happy for a while now!
Go on!
Na lan sister
These are only some western instruments.
Why is The emperor so happy?
What do you know?
The emperor's grandfather was fond of him the most.
and bought him to his Hall and raised the emperor by himself.
The emperor respects his grandfather
even more than his father.
Think about it,
Grandfather passed away for a long time now.
Now the emperor sees all this.
Can he not be moved?
Na lan sister, you are so thoughtful.
So what,
The warehouse Hall is not an easy place.
It was very hard to make this team happen.
But it is sad that
such a good idea,
I had to give it to noble lady.
Emperor,
I was not the only one that contributed,
Lady Shu also made an effort.
Do you want to see her present?
Lady Shu?
Emperor,
I prepared for you a glass buddha tower.
Please see it.
Looks delicate.
Is this Buddhist relics？
Replying to you,
The normal relics are not special. But this one is crystal clear.
But this one is crystal clear.
It looks like lotus flower.
This was from the famous buddha that died,
the most precious out of 700 relics.
I heard it came from his heart(literally). Therefore was called "the lotus flower of buddha".
Emperor,
Isn't Empress dowager trying to find it?
I have tried seding people to Suzhou several times,
but all failed to find it.
I thought it was only a fairytale.
I didn't think it actually exist!
Keep it carefully!
I found it only by accident,
at a temple in Mount Tai.
This is very precious. And it belongs to someone that is devout.
So I dare not to keep it.
Please give it to the Emperor dowager for me.
You are very thoughtful.
Empress,
Besides this glass tower,
pick some other special and interesting gifts, and give all of them to my mother!
Yes.
Ying Luo
Please look after this glass tower.
Yes.
Long-live Wisdom Buddha
Some precious vase.
Some precious lamp.
What are you doing?
I am trying to record and manage the treasures.
This has always been my job. No need to you to step in.
The empress ordered me to do this.
Didn't you listen to the emperor?
We need to pick two or three
that the Emperor's dowager is fond of.
Do you know what she would like?
Since you don't know anything, then step aside and don't be in the way.
Zhen zhu, go on.
I have been here not for long,
it's natural that I don't know.
So I kindly ask you
to record it carefully.
select carefully.
Hey you,
You can't leave everything to me and go!
You wanted to perform,
then I didn't want to stand in your way.
Relax, I will tell Empress,
that it's all your work.
ass kicker.
If the night that my sister died,
Someone went from QianQing Hall to Yu Garden to commit murder,
How long does it take to go and come back?
Was it possible to avoid guards patrol?
It's me!
Master!
Even my foot needs to be nearly broken by you
Who told you to scare me like that?
What kind of place is this?
The misty dew obscures and protects the moon's glow
poem
Master
You clearly know that I've read few books
and you're still telling legends of the past in poetry?
there's no difference from playing an instrument to a cow
Emperors of the Ming Dynasty Used to love hiding inside
but imperial maids would find him again and again because
He had a spice sachet in his sleeve
(Giggles.) I think,
It was the beautiful maid, that wore the sachet.
Ming Emperor wanted to be found by her!
No.
At that time,
there were strict rules in the palace.
All the maids and eunuchs
did not have the right to walk in this part of the palace.
Therefore they go through this tiger cave.
Time passes to today,
People have disregarded this path slowly now.
Ok, but why did you bring me here?
To play hide and seek with you?
Just now
did you want to walk the path all over again once more?
From Qianqing Palace to the Imperial Garden?
Yes
I asked Li Yu
That night, no one left the (imperial) palace.
But I think
in that area there was 400+ people, there must have been a careless slipup somewhere
What if there was someone who quietly left?
Going there and back, it wouldn't take more than an hour
I've done that trip many times
the whole journey is very fast
but to not let the patrolling guard see you?
Impossible.
What if the person has high status and
the guards are covering for him?
The guards only listens to the emperor's commands
how can a royal member give commands to those guards?
Maybe not necessarily
Didn't Elder Prince Yi listen to Lady Jia
and tried to frame me?
What's that noise!
Look!
emperor
look at how beautiful those fireworks are!
Empress, this time comes once in a while
lets enjoy it together
Emperial Consort, look
The firework rises into the sky
bursting like millions of flowers
blooming among the sea of clouds
what a rare occurrence
Consort Chun
then you should enjoy it yourself
Sister, give me another one. Another one
Please give me another
Elder sister (referring to Consort Xian)
what is wrong?
This firework,
is so beautiful
Where did you go?
I was making an inventory of the gifts
Isn't that-
Look at this one, looks like a golden fish!
What are you doing here?
Didn't I tell you to stay and continue recording everything
Sis Mingyu, I want to see the show too
Get back there
If something happens,
you'll pay!
So now,
The officials are free to burn down houses, while the commoners are forbidden to even light lamps?
No wonder everyone likes Wei Ying Luo and not you.
Yingluo Yingluo
Why do you always talk about her too?
I don't want to talk to you anymore
So pretty
Where's sis Nalan?
So pretty
Look
Amazing
You went out to steal a look at the fireworks, didn't you?
Now how are you going to explain this to the Emperor?
I-I didn't know this would happen
You-
What's wrong?
Why are you still protecting her?
Look for yourself
Hitting Zhenzhu, would that help you find the Buddhism relic?
Yingluo. Don't think that you can stay out of this matter
This jewel... this is the work that the Empress ordered you to take care of
Didn't you take this task away from me?
Weren't you missing too?
Now you dare shirk responsibilities?
Dream on
