Story of Yanxi Palace Episode 2
The newly-selected Imperial Concubines will enter the palace in a few days.
If you have any illnesses, treat them immediately.
Those who do not have any illnesses, buck up.
Don't let the new Imperial Concubines outperform you.
- Yes. - Yes.
Calling for dispersal.
What's wrong? His Majesty is retiring for the night alone again?
To answer the Noble Consort,
the memorials are piling up like a mountain. His Majesty wants to amend them during the night.
He doesn't want everyone to wait for him in vain.
Let's leave. What are we still waiting for?
Respectfully sending Your Highness the Noble Consort off.
After going through the elimination and embroidery training,
you are now the palace maids.
Starting from today, you will be under my control.
We just joined the palace and are still unaware of the rules.
May Gugu please take good care of us.
About this...no one can take care of anyone. Just watch out for yourselves.
Gugu, what do you mean by this?
Don't be anxious. You will find out later.
Yingluo! Yingluo, come here. I reserved a nice space for you.
Let's go.
Yingluo, thank you very much for today.
Don't mention it.
Is this the place where all the newly-hired palace maids are staying?
Yes. What's wrong?
It's nothing. I wanted to ask about the comparison between the palace maids who joined earlier
and the newly-hired palace maids and know more about the rules.
I think someone is trying to curry favors with the Gugu.
- If you say so, be it so then. - You!
- Stop saying that. - Why can't I say that?
She's the most able, greatest and the most ado about nothing!
You turned us into evil people. I know you are not a good person!
Jixiang, do you really think she's helping you?
Let me tell you. She's only wants to highlight herself in front of the Chief Eunuch.
- You are spouting nonsense. - If you don't believe me, ask her then.
Yingluo, you stole the attention today. Did you do it for yourself?
Fine. You are ignoring me, right?
Jinxiu, what are you doing? Stop splashing! Stop splashing!
You were ignoring me, right? This is the consequence.
She deserved it. Who told her to steal the attention?
That's right. She turned us into slime.
Remember not to steal the attention in the future again. You are in such a rush to succeed.
Yingluo, let's cover it with a bed quilt.
Jinxiu, what are you doing? Why did you wet her bed quilt?
What if the Gugu finds out?
Still dare to complain?
There are many of us here. Still afraid that she will do it?
Wei Yingluo! What are you doing?
Yingluo, are you crazy?
Let's go and report this to the Gugu!
Don't. Yingluo is being rash. She didn't do it deliberately.
Yingluo, say something, quick!
You are being extreme. Why did you wet my quilt?
Have you caused enough trouble?
Caused trouble? Who's causing trouble?
It's clearly you!
Jixiang couldn't finish her embroidery. We could only make up for the difference.
Because I helped her and received praises, the rest of you were jealous.
You didn't help her and also forbade others from helping her.
Is there such a logic in this kingdom? Initially, I didn't care about it
because I didn't enter the palace to make friends.
But I need to warn you today. I, Wei Yingluo,
am bad-tempered and not that easily provoked.
Whoever dares to keep whining again, I have a way to deal with her!
You are simply arrogant and despotic!
Wei Yingluo, release me.
- Didn't you want to see the Gugu? - Let go your hand!
I will go with you and tell her what has just occurred.
Yingluo, release her. Aren't you afraid that the Gugu will mete out punishment?
Do you think the Gugu who handles the matters is that free
to have the time to distinguish right from wrong for all of you?
There are only a few of us living here together.
If we create troubles,
we will be immediately kicked out. Do you believe it or not?
Fine. Let's go now. Let's go.
- Let's go! - Yingluo, release her!
- Release her. It's late. You will wake up the Gugu. - Don't you want your life?
I was wrong. I was wrong, okay?
- I will not mention this again. I don't want to be kicked out. - Let her go.
It's middle of the night. Why are you creating a ruckus?
Gugu Fang, I was careless just now and overturned the tea pot.
Our quilts are wet.
Why so troublesome? Just flip the quilt. Don't make any noise again!
Stop there.
Wei Yingluo, what else do you want?
Flip my quilt.
Yingluo, you are great.
People are good in nature. They should learn to protect themselves. You must remember this.
Shut up. Go to sleep now!
Yingluo, are you crazy?
Get off. Get off now.
Yingluo, come to your senses. Your older sister is already dead!
Everyone said that
she died from an illness.
But it's proven now that
she didn't die from an illness.
She was strangled to death.
Shut up!
Look, all of you! Everyone, look!
Yingluo!
She has traces of contusion down on her neck, from having met with a murderer!
She was murdered!
She was murdered, she was murdered! - Don't say anymore.
Wei Qingtai, your daughter dared to open the coffin to surprise the dead. Thunder and lightning will strike!
That's right. Yingning did an ugly thing and was expelled from the palace. That's why she committed suicide.
This kind of unruly woman
- has shamed her clan. - How humiliating!
Wei Yingluo is speaking nonsense today.
Do you want us to execute her by the law of the clan?
No, Clan Leader. It's Yingluo who doesn't know right from wrong!
Everyone, clan elders, junior brothers, please forgive her. I will discipline her!
Yingluo, quickly kneel and apologize now!
I lost my mother when I was young.
It was my older sister who raised me.
It's said that we came
from the same clan.
But we have never taken a bite of their meals,
taken a single sip of water from them and received any redress from them.
Yingluo.
My older sister died an innocent death.
They can't even differentiate right from wrong
and criticize her for staining the reputation of the graveyard.
They don't even want to bury her,
and want me to apologize to them.
Who gives you the right?
You are unwilling to forgive. What are you trying to do?
My older sister...
died from unknown causes.
I want to enter the palace
to investigate the truth of her death.
What is she doing?
If you enter the palace, you will get into trouble.
Must you force me to expel you from the family?
I don't care.
Father. Even if you expel me from the family
and the clan,
I will still seek justice
for my older sister.
What's wrong? Who hit me?
Gugu, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
Look at everyone's sleeping positions?
Facing up, touching your bellies, saliva streaming down, looking more like a row of toads!
This is the Forbidden City. There are rules for walking and sitting.
You must not relax.
Gugu, how should we sleep then?
Your legs. Lie down.
Quick.
Your legs.
As for you,
turn to the other direction.
Remember this position. Don't forget it even when you are asleep!
Go back first and let them sleep for a while.
Wake them up in half an hour.
Your Highness, what's wrong?
Something is not right.
Your Highness, it's not daybreak yet.
Did you have a bad dream?
Idiot.
There's definitely a problem with Imperial Concubine Yi.
Next.
What is this?
What are you doing?
Ayan, think of an immediate solution.
Eldest Sister, don't panic.
How can I not panic?
Noble Consort Gao must be getting suspicious. She already suspects us.
What should we do now?
We should think of a countermeasure against her.
Her Highness Noble Consort Gao is here!
Quick, leave by the back door!
Fangcao.
Ahem...
Your Highness the Noble Consort. I wish Your Highness good health.
Noble Lady Yu, I heard you are sick.
I came specially to visit you.
- Imperial Physician Liu, please take a good look at her. - Yes.
Noble Consort.
What's wrong? I was kind to bring Imperial Physician Liu to take a look at you
and you are not even appreciative?
Noble Consort. I'm merely coughing. I don't need any treatments from the Imperial Physician.
Imperial Physician Liu.
Your Highness the Noble Consort..!
Release me! Let me go!
Greetings to Your Highness the Imperial Concubine Yi.
Mingyu, I want to see Her Highness the Empress!
Her Highness is not feeling well today and has excused herself from the morning greetings.
Imperial Concubine Yi, what brings you here?
It's an urgent situation. I need to see the Her Highness the Empress!
I already said she's not seeing anyone now.
Please come back later.
Your Highness the Empress, help me! Your Highness the Empress!
Imperial Concubine Yi, this is Changchun Palace. How dare you shout here?
Your Highness! Your Highness the Empress!
Your Highness the Empress!
Your Highness the Empress! I'm begging you, please save Noble Lady Yu!
Please save Noble Lady Yu, Your Highness the Empress!
This belongs to me.
Palace maids are not allowed to bring substances into the palace.
Tell me what's in here.
I was afraid of missing home, so I took a handful of dirt from the doorway.
I brought some soil from there in this small bottle into the palace.
This is not going against the rules in the palace, right?
Seeing how nervous you are,
I'm going to check if this is soil or not.
Gugu!
How impudent.
Your Highness the Noble Consort! Noble Consort, please spare my mistress!
Noble Consort, please release me.
Please spare my mistress.
Your Highness the Empress.
Noble Consort Gao, what are you doing?
Noble Lady Yu is sick.
I specially brought the Imperial Physician here to diagnose her illness.
Imperial Physician Liu, what did you force Noble Lady Yu to drink?
Her Highness the Empress is asking you a question.
Tell her the truth now.
To answer Your Highness the Empress,
when I diagnosed her illness,
I came to discover her left pulse was like a deep bow-string, while her right pulse was slippery but not as strong.
There's also heat in her liver and mucus in her lungs,
and she's suffering from a cough.
To relieve the heat in her lungs, I specially prescribed a dosage of
of throat demulcent and expectorant for treatment.
You are spouting nonsense!
She is definitely pregnant.
How could she have a cough?
How dare you, Imperial Concubine Yi!
What did you say last night at Yanxi Court?
You said Noble Lady Yu merely has a cough.
Today, you are saying she's pregnant.
Unless you deliberately lied to me!
Your Highness the Empress. Imperial Concubine Yi and I discussed the long-term future
because it concerned a royal heir. (T/N general term for His Majesty's offspring, the royal bloodline)
We dared not confirmed it yet, and thought of waiting for six months
for the Imperial Physician's diagnosis later
before we report to Your Highness the Empress.
I had no intention of hiding this from Your Highness!
- May Your Highness the Empress please pardon my offense! - No.
It's because she's afraid
when she's pregnant with a royal heir that she will be harmed by others.
That's why she deliberately lied that it was a cough.
Harmed by others?
Who would harm her?
Imperial Concubine Yi, are you deliberately pointing to someone?
The truth will be revealed.
My speculation is not wrong.
This bowl of medicine
is the evidence of the Noble Consort's poisoning the royal heir of His Majesty!
How presumptuous!
Whether there's poison or not, we will be able to tell.
Court Investigator Zhang.
As per your order.
Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.
To answer Your Highness the Empress. This medicine is definitely a throat demulcent and expectorant.
Is there anything else?
To answer Your Highness the Empress, there is nothing more.
Your Highness the Empress.
You heard it.
Noble Lady Yu said that it's too early in the month.
It's common for the Imperial Physician to give a wrong diagnosis.
It's she who is paranoid and kept it hidden.
I invited the Imperial Physician here out of good intentions to diagnose her
and she bit me in return.
As for Imperial Concubine Yi, she's even more outrageous.
She slandered me for trying to kill His Majesty's royal heir.
A low-ranking Imperial Concubine
even tried to defame a high-ranking Noble Consort?
This is highly disrespectful!
Your Highness the Empress, everything was my fault. It was all my fault!
What is this thing?
I already told you, it's soil from outside my home's door.
Why are you eating it?
Wait for me, Gugu!
You don't know this, Yingluo, but she probably thought it was sesame and walnut powder.
Other palace maids used to hide them before.
She discovered it and confiscated them all.
That's because she can't see well.
This really is soil for when I miss my home.
You brought outside soil into the palace?
You're really a silly girl.
Sister. I'm sorry.
Noble Consort Gao, Imperial Concubine Yi was only in a panic.
She can speak without reservation if she's in a panic?
Empress, we've got the ancestor's rules laid out.
Imperial Concubine Yi defamed me without any evidence.
If she's not punished severely, I fear the lower ones will copy,
and the upheaval will spread rampantly and the morale will crumble altogether!
Noble Consort Gao, this matter isn't as serious as you say.
Imperial Concubine Yi only did so out of worry for Noble Lady Yu's royal fetus.
Empress. The lower-ranked offending the higher is a crime that cannot be forgiven.
You're the mistress of the six palaces, the mother of the world.
You should be most fair without any bias.
If you are inclined to favor her,
I have nothing I can do, naturally.
But for standing crooked and managing unfairly,
anyone might question
your skills in governing the six palaces.
You're impudent!
Empress, it's my conduct and words.
They were wild and offended the Noble Consort.
It's my fault.
Your Highness the Empress' gracious mercy on me, I shall keep it to heart.
May Empress stop worrying over this matter.
Noble Consort, I misspoke.
However you'd like to punish me, I am at your disposal.
As for...as for Noble Lady Yu.
May you consider her to be harboring a royal heir
and spare her.
Noble Lady Yu is very precious right now.
I will not make it difficult for her.
As for you.
You are really at my disposal?
You may not.
You may not!
There's no place for you to talk here!
Noble Consort, all the mistakes,
they are all mine.
I conducted myself wrongly.
If you wish to beat me or scold me, I am happily the recipient.
I only beg that Your Highness' anger can dissipate.
Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.
How are you alone here? Where are others?
They all went to eat breakfast after finishing up the chores at the maiden's dorm.
Why didn't you go?
Today is my first day so I wanted to come early.
You're mature.
Momo Zhang, I'd like to inquire about a person from you.
Who?
You've managed the embroidery house for years.
Have you ever heard of Wei Yingning?
No.
She was assigned to the embroidery house. Why wouldn't you know?
Other than the talented palace maids that work in the embroidery house,
we also hire a few seamstresses from outside that are skilled.
When everyone's working, we all keep our heads down.
Who knows who is what name.
Her embroidery was outstanding. You wouldn't have not noticed.
So what if her embroidery was excellent? That's nothing much in this palace that's full of talent after talent.
Another thing I need to remind you.
The person you just mentioned.
The third character in that name is also Noble Consort Gao's maiden name, and palace maids need to avoid it.
Avoid it?
Yes. Names of the harem members.
The servants aren't worthy to say them.
The person you mentioned probably changed her name here already.
So you should never use that name again,
and ask around everywhere.
If someone hears you, you will be punished.
Momo Zhang. You're not even going to eat?
I was wondering what you were doing.
So you were bothering the supervisor here?
What were you two talking about?
It's enough. Since you're both here, let's not idle around.
Make a trip with me.
- Yes. - Yes.
Palace maids aren't allowed to drop in anywhere.
If there's nothing else, just stay docile at your assigned palace to do the chores.
You're embroidery maidens.
You have to measure the mistresses often for making clothes.
You must remember the paths well.
Or else you'll get yourselves lost after a few turns here and there.
And you had better not delay your chores.
- Yes. - The Chief Supervisor has issued an order.
Noble Lady Yu is pregnant.
The embroidery house is making new clothes for her.
When you enter Yonghe Palace, look around carefully
- to see how I... -Spare my mistress!
Spare my mistress.
Imperial Concubine Yi, this servant is asking you a question on behalf of Noble Consort.
Why am I slapping you?
I defamed Noble Consort and behaved without fidelity.
Spare my mistress, Noble Consort! Please!
Noble Consort also asks this.
Will you remember to speak with prudence from now on?
I will.
- Louder. - Your Highness!/i>
I have marked those words.
Don't hit her. Sister made a mistake because of me.
If Noble Consort wants to punish, punish me!
Noble Lady Yu, you're pregnant with the royal heir so you're a precious body.
You naturally won't get beaten.
But you and Imperial Concubine Yi are the same. It's best not to meddle after committing wrongs.
Hurry and go back. Hurry back!
I won't go. I can't let them shame you like this.
I won't go. I won't go.
I'm fine. Hurry and go back!
Noble Lady Yu, if you're throwing this ruckus, what if the royal fetus is harmed?
I won't be able to handle that.
Hurry and go. Ayan, hurry and go back!
Are you all logs?
Hurry and drag Noble Lady Yu away.
I won't go.
- I won't go. - Let go!
I'm begging you, please don't hit her anymore.
- Your Highness! - Continue.
Fifteen more left.
Supervisor Zhang, this is..?
Imperial Concubine Yi offended a superior rank.
She offended the Noble Consort.
Noble Consort punished her to be slapped in public.
But Imperial Concubine Yi is also a mistress of a palace.
So what if she is? You have to see who she offended.
The rule of the palace is to slap the body, not the face.
But Noble Consort chose this,
clearly to shame Imperial Concubine Yi, so her face is dropped to ground. (T/N her reputation suffers badly)
Honestly, even if you have a title of Imperial Concubine,
you are less than the lowest palace maid.
- Noble Lady. - What is it?
Noble Lady, why have you slimmed down instead?
She can't eat or sleep lately, so of course she's thinned out.
There's poison in loquat leaves.
Why couldn't that be tested?
Noble Lady, don't think about that anymore.
Court Investigator Zhang's medical skills are so good, so he wouldn't be wrong.
She wants to kill my baby in my belly.
But why couldn't the test show there's poison?
Noble Lady Yu, I beg you not to say it anymore.
Old loquat leaves aren't poisonous.
But young leaves are poisonous.
Yingluo, what nonsense are you saying?
What did you say?
Yingluo.
Do you know the rules?
Don't talk recklessly about what you don't know.
Say again what you just said.
- I used to . . . - Yingluo.
When I young, I loved to eat loquat.
But once, I accidentally ate the pit.
I had trouble breathing and I kept vomiting.
Later, a travelling physician told me this.
That physicians prescribe medicines relying on the medical volumes.
Medical volumes always refer to using aged loquat leaves
to make loquat ointment. But most people are unaware.
It was later by coincidence that he discovered
that old loquat leaves are not poisonous, but young leaves and the pit are poisonous.
If eaten in an excessive amount, it can endanger one's life.
The loquat ointment sent by Noble Consort was probably made with young leaves.
The toxicity is so faint that Court Investigator Zhang never discovered it.
Even if he did discover it, she could just push the blame to the medicine house that made the ointment.
That was it.
Go see the Empress with me and repeat this to Her Highness!
Noble Lady. You can't.
How can you believe the words of a petty palace maid?
Could it be that she's more accurate than Court Investigator Zhang?
Yingluo, how are you so unruly to dare to speak like that!
Are you trying to die?
She's experienced. She knows the truth.
- She-- - Noble Lady!
Noble Lady.
She only just entered the palace.
She knows nothing. I beg you for your noble mercy.
Spare her once.
Alright.
I won't make it hard on you.
I will go and make my own appeal.
Noble Lady.
Noble Lady!
You foolish girl. You've caused a big disaster.
Noble Lady Yu, as soon as Her Highness returned, she's been aching in her head.
She's still not awake. You won't be able to see her today.
Miss Mingyu, I have an urgent matter to report.
May you announce me quickly!
Close the gate.
Miss Mingyu. Miss Mingyu.
Hurry and open up, Miss Mingyu!
Miss Mingyu, it's urgent matter!
Look, there's Yingluo.
I thought Supervisor Zhang admired her.
Look how drastically it's changed since they got back.
She spoke nonsense and angered the supervisor.
I don't know what she did wrong.
What in the world did she do wrong?
Alright. We stop here for today. Everyone is dismissed.
Look at how haughty she usually is.
Now she's punished and she deserves it.
Keep up that arrogance.
Jixiang, what are you doing?
You're not scared that the Supervisor might punish you?
But . . .
Alright, if you're too late, I won't be saving you any food.
Alright, never mind. Let's go eat.
Let's go eat.
She's been out there for so long.
Yes.
What are you looking at?
All these hours above my head, two thousand and eighty clouds have floated by.
Three hundred and two were iridescent clouds.
The rest were all white clouds.
You're so idle, are you? Everything's just clouds to you?
In the past, I always wondered...
why can't I embroider the iridescence of clouds?
But after today, I can embroider it.
Stop the cloud talk. Let me ask you this.
Did you think through what I told you to think about? Know your mistake now?
What did I do wrong exactly?
You've been kneeling here a night and a day, and you still don't know what you did wrong?
Do you think,
that I, Yingluo, shouldn't have told the Noble Lady
that the young leaves of loquat are poisonous?
Do you know your status?
Young leaves of loquat are poisonous. The royal physicians don't know this, but you do?
Nonsense.
Is that head of yours atop of your neck trying to reach the sky?
What are you laughing at?
Yes is yes, and no is no.
Every single word I said,
I am guilt-free to myself and to the world.
Yes, you're guilt-free in your conscience.
But you don't owe your mother and father?
Do you not owe me, I who am worried about you?
I know you punished me to kneel
out of your concern for me.
So I have knelt.
- But you still won't admit you were wrong? - They are separate matters.
Not at fault, but to admit fault?
Forgive this Yingluo for the inability to do so.
I'll take you to go see the consequence of speaking bluntly.
Careful now.
Oh, Supervisor Zhang, what brings you here?
We left something here yesterday, so I came to retrieve it.
This isn't a clean place, so hurry and go after you get it.
Thank you, Gonggong, for your reminder. We will go right away. (T/N Polite term of address for a eunuch.)
Quick, let's go.
Why didn't you wait until I went and begged the Empress?
- Why are you so foolish? - Noble Lady.
She's already gone, so don't speak so wildly anymore.
She didn't go.
- Noble Lady. - You know the truth.
Hurry and tell everyone.
Noble Consort wanted to kill.
She wanted to kill the child in my belly. Sister didn't talk wildly.
You go tell everything the truth!
- Go! - Noble lady.
- Noble Lady. - Fangcao, your mistress is too upset.
Her mind is unclear. Hurry and escort her back to rest.
Let's go.
Noble Lady, let's not throw a fuss anymore. Let's go back inside.
- I beg you. Let's go. - Fangcao.
Did you hear it?
The young leaves are poisonous.
They are poisonous.
Yes.
Still looking?
Did you see it clearly?
Imperial Concubine Yi was shamed in front of everyone and lost all her pride.
Noble Consort wanted her dead.
What you said couldn't even restore anything.
This time, you were lucky actually.
Next time, if Noble Consort finds out,
your little life wouldn't be easily preserved.
Why did Imperial Concubine Yi die?
If she didn't die,
there would still be a stroke of hope.
- What did you say? - It's because Imperial Concubine Yi was too weak.
Other shamed her, and she had to go die?
For what?
A lofty Imperial Concubine slapped before the crowd.
How could she put down her feet in the palace in the future.
If she doesn't seek death, she is supposed to live and court shame upon herself?
If it were me, even if a thousand people spit on me,
I can still dry off my own face.
Even if I am forced to wait kneeling, I would still wait.
Until the day truth is revealed.
Circumstances are more powerful than humans. Just an egg, and how can you run yourself into the rock?
You said it wrong.
I am not an egg.
I am that stinky rock.
If one day it really is your turn,
you will know just how scary this really is.
Worst case your head's cracked and you bleed,
and you die.
You are forbidden to say that.
Stubborn donkey.
Why did Sister die wretchedly for no reason?
Why should Imperial Concubine Yi hang herself to death?
Why is the world so unfair?
Why? Why? Why?
Daring slave! Who said you could hurt the spiritual cypress?
Why are you hiding? His royal carriage is here, so why aren't you kneeling?
Hurry. Hurry up!
Your slave begs for Your Majesty's royal peace.
Who told you to harm the spiritual cypress?
I am audacious. I do not know what a spiritual cypress is.
What a scoundrel. This is the spiritual cypress.
It provided shade to His Majesty, thus the recipient of "Spiritual Cypress" tag personally penned by His Majesty.
It's got it hanging there clearly and so many come to kneel and worship eagerly.
But you dare to harm it?
Drag her down and flog with thirty blows.
I just came into the palace, so I was unaware of Spiritual Cypress.
But I did so for a reason.
