Story of Yanxi Palace Episode 9
Mother! What are you doing?
- Quickly get up. - Since you've become an Imperial consort of His Majesty,
your father and I never took advantage of it.
We instead became more cautious with our actions and speech. Feared getting branded as losing proper decorum.
I didn't blame you for refusing to help your father in his career.
But you must save your little brother!
I only have this one son.
You must not let your white-haired mother send off your black-haired little brother to his death.
Does Father know that you came here?
He doesn't know, am I right?
For twenty years, Father has been cautious and conscientious. He has served the public with integrity.
He was very afraid of making the wrong move. Hence, he named me "Shushen".
Gentle and respectful, careful and kind.
Father wants me to always remember to act cautiously.
Little Brother broke the state laws. He should be punished for it.
If I beg His Majesty to be lenient, that is openly breaking the law
and bending it for personal favors.
You will just watch your little brother
get beheaded?
If that will be the sentence of the Ministry of Justice,
I will send him off on his last journey.
That counts as doing my duty as his sister.
You are really filial to your father.
Must you two be this devoted to the public interest?
Okay. You be your "good person".
Once your little brother goes up onto the execution stage,
you will never have a mother again!
Your Highness.
Are you really not interfering?
You're not really going to beg His Majesty?
No.
I can't go.
If I do that, not only will I wrong His Majesty,
I will wrong the many years of teachings of Father.
I shouldn't help my little brother escape punishment
when I know that he indeed did wrong.
Your Highness, your headache and body pains
must be from stagnated heat in the lung meridian because of getting exposed to cold.
It isn't a big deal. Later, I'll prescribe some cough-relieving medicines
made of ginger and pear. Recuperate for half a month
and your body will get completely cured.
Medical Inspector Zhang, you are a divine doctor.
I am of course at ease with your skills.
Or else, why would I hand Noble Lady Yu to your care?
Oh, right.
Regarding Noble Lady Yu, is her health well lately?
You can be frank when in front of me.
Your Highness the Empress, Noble Lady Yu will frequently have dizziness symptoms.
I meticulously helped her nurse her health, but the effect is minimal.
The root of the problem is that Noble Lady Yu
thinks too much such that her emotions and consciousness is becoming unstable.
Emotionally and mentally unstable?
I never heard of such an illness.
People have seven emotions, which are joy, anger, anxiety, worry, sadness, shock, and fear.
The changes in emotions will affect the state of her health.
Hence, the concept of moral and spiritual cultivation.
Noble Lady Yu is worrying too much.
Her state of mind is now affected. If this continues,
it will surely affect the fetus in her womb.
It's actually that grave?
Now that the matter has come to this,
I only hope that Noble Lady Yu can untie the knot in heart soon and focus on nursing her health.
May Medical Inspector Zhang exert more effort for her.
May Your Highness not worry. I surely will do my best.
- Erqing. - Here.
- Walk Medical Inspector Zhang out. - Yes.
I thank you and take my leave, Your Highness.
This way please.
Mingyu, help me change clothes.
Your Highness, you're sick yourself. Where else are you going?
I'm going to visit Noble Lady Yu.
- Your Highness. - Your Highness.
You must not. You just caught a cold.
You mustn't get exposed to the wind again.
Why don't we do this? Let Mingyu go in your behalf.
You can just visit Noble Lady once you've recovered.
Mingyu, we still have some tribute ginseng in the warehouse.
Deliver them to Yonghe Palace.
Tell Noble Lady Yu to focus on her pregnancy.
- I will visit her soon. - Yes.
Your Highness.
Go to Yonghe Palace.
Tell Noble Lady Yu that Her Highness the Empress is always thinking of her.
Tell her to be at ease and focus on caring for her pregnancy. Can you remember it?
I can.
Quickly go and return. Don't make delays.
Laws aren't one man's law. If one broke the law, abolished a command, disrespected the society,
As if the subjects were to abandon the monarch, it's an act of trespass.
Void would then follow, the kingdom would become frail.
If the subordinate were to step upon the superior, then the efforts of the latter will be lost. What can I...
Mistress, Her Highness Consort Chun is here.
Consort Chun, why are you here?
Sister.
The law is not just for one person.
If one broke the law, abolished a command, disrespected the society,
that's like a subject abandoning his monarch, a subordinate offending his superior.
If his subjects abandon the ruler, the ruler will then be unable to solidify his might.
How come you must write such words in your family letter.
It's nothing.
Yuhu, do you know where those words come from?
King Zhuang of Chu once issued a command (T/N one of the five Hegemons who wrested power from the Zhou)
that anyone passing by the Mao Gates must get off their carriage.
The Crown Prince broke the rule and the law enforcer killed the carriage driver on site.
The Crown Prince then turned and complained to King Zhuang of Chu.
King Zhuang of Chu told him that the law was not for one person.
If you encounter a person who disobeys the law,
and you don't stop him, people will then start following suit.
The law will then become useless. If it is allowed to continue, subjects will start to hold the law in contempt.
Abandon their ruler and offend their superior.
Military personnel will not act as one. Officials will not act as one. The state will soon not look like a state.
I've long heard that Lord Naerbu is very strict in discipline. (T/N Consort Xian's father)
Seeing it today, it is indeed that way.
Looks like, you are determined
not to ask for leniency for your little brother.
Since I was little, Father has taught me the principles of proper conduct.
As a close Imperial consort of His Majesty,
even more so, I must not beg for leniency from him just for personal reasons.
You say it in such a stern and just manner.
But in your heart, can you really bear to?
If you can do this,
why then is the paper drenched with your tears
and the words have become blurred because of them?
His Majesty is currently extremely angry.
Even if you beg him for leniency now, it might not work.
But if it is Her Highness the Empress who goes, it will be totally different.
You are asking me to beg Her Highness the Empress?
If you go alone, you might be suspected of being partial because of personal connection and will draw criticism.
But if Her Highness the Empress goes,
not only will she able to save your little brother,
she will also preserve your virtuous name.
You think I refuse to beg for leniency because I'm afraid
that my reputation will be smeared?
Consort Chun, you have thought too lightly of me.
Let me tell you this, I won't beg anyone.
His Majesty killed Oshan to display his might
and to tell the court officials to be alert at all times.
If he spares Changshou, that's telling everyone openly accepting bribes isn't illegal.
That will surely invite the grudge of the people and political criticisms.
I will never do such a thing.
What are you laughing about?
I'm laughing at you for being high-sounding but impractical.
After entering the palace for so many years, you're still so naive.
For whole-hearted devotion to your master, you'd rather abandon the life of a loved one. You think that by doing that,
His Majesty will care?
Currently, following the trend is easy, but it's hard to maintain moral uplift alone,
because whole-hearted devotion to one's master would become a joke,
and not bending the law to favor self-interest will get criticized by others.
Consort Chun, I will never beg the Emperor nor the Empress,
because I do things not to seek understanding from eminences, but just to keep a clean conscience.
I'm going to write my letter now.
Consort Chun, if there is nothing else, you can leave now.
Hope Sister will not regret this.
Your Highness, why won't you listen to the advice of Consort Chun?
Before I got married off to the Prince Bao Manor, my father told me
that I must insist on my original character no matter what I go through.
Consort Chun keeps urging me to beg the Empress. If I go,
that's equivalent to siding with the Empress.
I don't want to join those dirty collusions and quarrels.
Even more so, I don't want to flow with the trend and lose my original character.
Do you understand?
Noble Lady Yu!
What are you doing!
Noble Lady Yu! Noble Lady Yu!
Noble Lady Yu!
Help!
Help! Help!
- There's a-- - Arrest her!
Don't run! Arrest her!
Open the door! Open the door!
- Erqing. - Here.
How long has it been since Imperial Concubine Yi left?
Your Highness, why are you suddenly asking?
Time flies by so fast.
If my memory serves me right,
today should be the forty-ninth day after her death.
Open the door!
Noble Lady Yu!
- Noble Lady Yu, quickly wake up! - Open the door!
Open the door! Open the door!
Continue banging on it!
Open the door!
Open the door! Hurry!
Open the door! Quickly open the door!
Hurry!
- What's going on? - Yonghe Palace is on fire.
Quickly gather everyone to help put out the fire.
Go.
Yonghe Palace is on fire!
Help!
- Yonghe Palace is on fire! Help! - Capture her!
- Save Noble Lady Yu! Help! - Quickly cover her mouth!
- Help! - Block her mouth!
Someone is coming.
Kill Wei Yingluo on the spot for trying to assassinate Noble Lady Yu!
Hurry!
Respectfully greeting Your Highness the Noble Consort.
What is going on here?
I passed by Yonghe Palace today
and thought of visiting Noble Lady Yu.
Who knew that I'd coincidentally bump into Wei Yingluo trying to kill Noble Lady Yu.
Of course, I have to arrest her.
Quickly save Noble Lady Yu. Quickly save Noble Lady Yu first!
Immediately call for the Imperial Physician!
Noble Lady Yu! Noble Lady Yu!
- Noble Lady! - Hurry!
- Noble Lady, what's wrong with you? - Noble Lady Yu.
Assist her outside to rest first.
Be careful.
Wei Yingluo, immediately explain the matter to me.
I was ordered by Her Highness the Empress
to come here and visit Noble Lady Yu.
However, I discovered...
that eunuch was trying to strangle Noble Lady Yu!
I knocked him out then attempted to escape and call for help.
However...I bumped into Noble Consort Gao.
When Noble Consort Gao saw me,
she immediately wanted to kill me.
I had no choice
but to escape back inside the room,
create smoke to lure people to come here and save me.
You are full of blood and are panic-stricken.
What's surprising about my asking people to capture you?
But you...hid inside the room,
would rather die than open the door. Your actions are very suspicious.
Of course, I have the reason to suspect you of trying to murder Noble Lady Yu.
- Hence, I ordered people to charge in. - Wake that eunuch up.
We will then know who ordered him.
Men! Use water to wake the eunuch.
Talk. Who ordered you to kill?
Talk!
It was Her Highness the Empress who ordered me to kill!
Since when did I become the mastermind of a murder?
How come I am ignorant of it?
Greetings to Your Highness the Empress.
If not because I remembered that today is the forty-ninth day death commemoration of Imperial Concubine Yi,
and worried that Noble Lady Yu would be pondering too much, hence, I personally came to visit,
I wouldn't have known that Yonghe Palace would be this lively.
Empress, you heard it earlier, right?
This eunuch personally said
that it was you who sent him to kill Noble Lady Yu.
Lift your head.
When did I order you to kill Noble Lady Yu?
Your Highness the Empress, it's not that I want to say that...
It was...because the scheme got exposed.
I have no choice but to say it.
You lost your son.
You hate Noble Lady Yu for getting pregnant.
You then used the excuse of the Imperial Household Department sending more people here to help
to place me inside Yonghe Palace.
You told me to eliminate Noble Lady Yu.
Today is the forty-ninth day death commemoration
of Imperial Concubine Yi. The palace forbids offerings for the dead.
Noble Lady Yu could only send everyone away,
so I found the chance to make my move.
You totally are so daring!
Your Highness, your health is more important.
Your Highness the Empress, the truth will eventually come out.
Who told you to slander the Empress?
You must know that this is a crime punishable by executing up to the nine degrees of relation.
Say it! If you don't, I'll break your leg!
Your Highness the Empress, if it wasn't you who ordered me to kill,
how could I be this bold?
Now that things have come to this, if Your Highness the Empress will not admit it,
I can only die
to fulfill my loyalty for you.
He hid poison between his teeth and has committed suicide.
Everyone heard what he said earlier.
Your Highness the Empress actually tried to kill Noble Lady Yu
and the child in her womb because of personal gain.
This is so shocking.
If Her Highness the Empress wanted to kill Noble Lady Yu,
why would she send me here to visit her?
Maybe...the Empress was worried that he wouldn't be able to do it by himself.
Noble Consort, are you saying that I came to supervise the killing?
That is also possible.
On this eunuch, there are three kinds of wounds.
On the neck, there is a wound left by the tip of a hair pin.
On his head are bloody wounds from being hit by a flower vase.
That greenish swelling on his forehead was when I forcefully hit his head on the ground.
If Her Highness the Empress wanted to commit murder,
why would she send me to stop the perpetrator?
Isn't that self-conflicting?
Maybe the Empress sent you to silence him?
If I'm going to silence someone,
why did I come empty-handed?
Not only do I not have a dagger,
I didn't even have any rod.
Did Her Highness the Empress tell me to be resourceful,
and just use the flower vase of Noble Lady Yu to kill?
I came to visit Noble Lady Yu
and especially brought some ginseng.
May I ask Noble Consort, what did you bring with you?
Her Highness Noble Consort brought with her a group of eunuchs.
Such fierce-looking party,
it doesn't look like they're here to visit.
It looked more like seeking vengeance.
You dare suspect me?
Offending your superior, slap her mouth!
Offending one's superior is a grave crime.
Of course, I dare not do it.
But with the same reasoning,
how could Her Highness the Noble Consort through a testimony of a killer
just casually suspect Her Highness the Empress?
Is it because Noble Consort is self-assured of how noble your status is,
that's why you feared nothing and spoke carelessly?
You're just a dog-like slave...
Who gave you the guts to talk with me like that!
I think
that every word she said is very reasonable.
Your Highness the Noble Consort,
I want to ask you a question.
Why did you bring so many people today to Yonghe Palace?
Zhilan!
Her Highness the Noble Consort was initially planning to go to the fabric warehouse.
She intentionally brought the eunuchs to train them.
When we were passing Yonghe Palace, she suddenly thought of visiting Noble Lady Yu.
Who knew that upon entering the courtyard, we saw Wei Yingluo being panic-stricken.
From the looks of it, Her Highness just misunderstood it.
- Saw it wrongly. - For just one wrong perception, can one already casually falsely accuse a good person?
Who do you think you are?
Do you want Her Highness to still apologize to you?
Of course, I cannot bear to accept
the apology of Her Highness the Noble Consort.
But Her Highness the Empress is well-deserving of it.
- You— - All of you, shut up!
Noble Consort Gao,
what do you think?
Today, I listened to the slanderous talk of a eunuch
and blamed Your Highness the Empress by mistake.
It was all my being too rash.
Your Highness the Empress is magnanimous. Please forgive me.
Not only did you falsely accuse me,
you even almost mistakenly wrongly killed Wei Yingluo.
Return to your Chuxiu Palace
and reflect on your mistakes.
Let's go.
It's all my fault.
When Noble Lady woke up today, she already didn't look good.
She said that she sensed bitterness in her mouth. She ordered me to go to the kitchen
and get her a red date and lotus root soup.
I actually believed it.
It's all because I'm stupid, that I almost harmed Noble Lady.
Okay already.
Noble Lady intentionally drove you away. She would naturally come up with a lot of reasons.
Immediately wipe away your tears.
Don't disturb the Imperial Physician in examining her.
May Your Highness the Empress be at ease. Noble Lady Yu is blessed by the heavens.
She's just temporarily unconscious, but is safe.
Noble Lady. Noble Lady...you're awake.
Noble Lady.
Noble Lady Yu.
Don't kill me!
- I beg you, don't kill me! - Noble Lady!
Don't kill me...
Noble Lady Yu got traumatized.
I can only prescribe some sedatives so she can rest well.
Okay.
I beg you, don't kill me...
Don't kill me.
Young Master.
This medicine is good for superficial wounds. Apply it two times a day.
Why are you avoiding me?
A man must not look straight at a woman's body.
You apply it by yourself.
Thank you, Young Master.
Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.
So painful.
I'm done. Young Master can now turn around.
I have questions to ask you.
Ask away.
Why did you light the curtain on fire?
Do you know that if you weren't careful, you might get burned and die?
I know that it was very dangerous.
But in that situation,
that is the only way I could lure other people to come.
Young Master, try thinking this way. If I just shout that the Noble Consort is trying to kill someone,
who would still dare charge into Yonghe Palace?
Those people are all afraid to encounter a matter like that.
They would only pretend to not hear it.
But if the palace is on fire, it would be different.
Everyone will come to put out the fire.
Then, Noble Yu and I will have a chance to be saved.
What if Noble Consort was able to charge into the room before everyone arrives?
Just do one can do and leave the rest to heaven's will.
If the heavens want me dead, I can only accept my fate.
If you really accept your fate,
you wouldn't be so bold
as to openly question the Noble Consort.
I...
If Her Highness the Empress wasn't there,
I wouldn't dare to do it either.
I was just a fox assuming the majesty of the tiger,
pretending to be fierce because I have a backer.
It's my first time hearing you laugh.
This is not proper either?
Not proper.
Didn't your mother teach you
the proper etiquette for a lady from a respectable family?
I'm not a lady from a respectable family. And I don't have a mother.
Sorry.
As soon as I was born, my mother was gone.
Everyone says that I have a hard fate.
But it's fine, my sister was like a mother.
She was the most important person in my life.
I didn't know...
Being born, aging, getting sick, and dying are common occurrences in life.
What's there to apologize about?
Thank you, Young Master, for your medicine.
I'm deeply grateful.
The Empress most likely still has things to ask me.
I will take my leave now.
Young Master, do you know A'Man?
I do not know her.
But you look like
you know her.
I already said that I don't know her.
That's too bad then.
A'Man is my older sister.
I was bold and reckless.
I almost brought Your Highness trouble.
May Your Highness punish me.
Rise.
Yes.
Today, if not because of you,
I would never be able to clean myself up of this muddled water. (T/N remove stain on reputation)
Your Highness the Empress, I'm guessing that
eunuch who tried to commit murder
was sent by Noble Consort. Or else, she wouldn't have arrived in such perfect timing,
to be the first one on scene. Once Noble Lady Yu dies,
they would then claim that she hanged herself and committed suicide.
Smooths everything out just like that.
Noble Consort Gao not only wanted to commit murder, she also want to personally see
Noble Yu dead.
It shows how savage she is
here in the palace.
She has become extremely unrestrained.
It's just that she didn't expect you'd arrive before her and hinder her plan.
She could only push the boat with current and throw all the muddled water to me.
Your Highness, why don't we report all of this to His Majesty?
With him handling it—
The killer eunuch is dead. We now don't have a witness.
Just our words against hers, no evidence to back it up.
Moreover, for this incident,
Noble Lady Yu indeed committed a grave mistake.
You're talking about
Noble Lady Yu making offerings for Imperial Concubine Yi?
Noble Lady Yu and Imperial Concubine Yi had always been close, like real sisters.
Imperial Concubine Yi died because of her. She surely felt anxious about it.
Today just happen to be the forty-ninth day of Imperial Concubine Yi's death.
She drove away all the people around her and stayed in the hall alone so that
she can make some offerings to an old friend.
But in the palace, only the master of the Forbidden Palace can do any offering rituals.
What Noble Lady Yu did, if we're going to put it lightly, is just breaking palace rules.
But to put it gravely, it's openly cursing His Majesty and Empress Dowager.
Noble Consort Gao was certain about this, hence, she dared to be so emboldened.
So in order to preserve Noble Lady Yu, we mustn't escalate this matter.
Your Highness the Empress is kind.
I am deeply moved.
I also am not doing this just for Noble Lady Yu.
It's more for the child in her womb.
I really don't want the child to face cold stares,
curses, and discrimination upon getting born.
But Yingluo, since Noble Consort Gao failed this time,
with her domineering personality, she wodn't leave this matter like this.
I'm just worried that she'll surely make things difficult for you in the future.
Your Highness the Empress, even without these matters,
Noble Consort will not let me off.
So what?
Your Highness, forgive me!
Useless! You couldn't even do things properly.
How did I instruct you?
How do you people do things!
You couldn't even suppress a lowly palace maid.
This matter almost got escalated.
I give you people good food and drink every day. I should just feed them to the dogs!
Your Highness the Noble Consort.
Imperial Concubine Jia, please be for leniency in my behalf.
Quickly get up.
Your Highness the Noble Consort, I've heard what happened earlier.
Don't be angry now.
Don't be angry?
The Empress has been extending her hand to such a great length.
It wasn't easy to finally put Xiao Luzi in Yonghe Palace.
We learned that Noble Lady Yu would secretly make offerings to Imperial Concubine Yi every seventh day from her death.
I've said before to just directly expose her.
It was you who said to eliminate the grass by the root, so I asked Xiao Luzi to act.
Your Highness, this...
I also didn't expect it would be like this.
That Xiao Luzi was so incompetent. He couldn't even suppress a palace maid.
If I'd known this would happen, I would have just exposed Noble Lady Yu and made her unable to make a comeback.
But now, really great. I'm left not knowing what to do.
It's making me mad.
Your Highness, don't be angry.
We also did gain something from this.
I heard that Noble Lady Yu got traumatized so badly.
Whether that child will be able to be born safely is still a big question.
The Empress now have ordered the Imperial physicians to treat her in shifts.
The whole Yonghe Palace is a big mess.
Although that is the case,
I still feel very angry.
What is that?
Your Highness the Empress, this is a pekingese.
Young Lord Gao especially sent it here to the palace to relieve you of boredom.
He still remembers he has a little sister?
Your Highness the Noble Consort, you can really joke. Young Lord Gao
always thinks of you.
He personally trained this pekingese.
Look.
Good thing he still cares.
This pekingese is like a pile of snow.
Let's call him Xueqiu then. (T/N "Snowball")
Tell people to feed him. He mustn't be maltreated.
How would I dare to?
I will ensure that it will be trained to become smart, energetic, and adorable.
You may withdraw.
Yes.
Your Highness really has outstanding, great fortune.
Lord Gao is now the Grand Chancellor of the Imperial Household Department
and Viceroy of the Southern Rivers.
Young Lord Gao is also moving up the ranks. His Majesty has successively rewarded him.
You can say that he's one of the highly-favored officials of His Majesty at present.
With Your Highness having this kind of great fortune,
who else would dare compete with you?
Your Highness, you shouldn't be angry just because of some lowly person.
But...His Majesty has just scolded Zhang Tingyu and Ortai,
and now he's heavily favoring the Gao family. Isn't that self-conflicting?
This...I also don't understand.
But, my guess is
His Majesty did this to placate them.
So that they can be at ease in doing their jobs and stay loyal to the nation.
After all, the two Lord Gaos are pillars of the government.
That is also because my father and brother are capable,
hence, His Majesty would especially heavily favor them.
Guess what I went to do earlier.
Didn't you go handle the corpse of the killer eunuch?
That's right. I skinned that man and threw him into the mass burial site.
But I never expected that man to have wounds all over.
Especially on his neck and head.
The injuries on those two areas are quite deep.
How could a little palace maid have such a cruel heart
and sinister hands?
If someone wants to kill you, would you still hold back?
That's right too. But her attacks were too direct and without hesitation.
The resoluteness of how it was done seem more like that of a man.
It doesn't seem to be from a woman.
Young Master, do you know A'Man?
A'Man is my older sister.
Fuheng, look.
What is that?
That is the beloved dog of Noble Consort Gao.
I've only seen a person walking a dog, and never a dog walking a man.
This is so Western!
The dog of Noble Consort is of course more noble than a servant.
How could then it allow a servant to walk in front of it?
Those are the palace rules.
Noble Consort is really highly favored.
A dog of hers is more precious than a human.
Say, why do you think His Majesty scolded Ortai first
then promoted Gao Bin, an ally of Ortai?
Divide to conquer.
Suppressing Ortai and then promoting Gao Bin
is to split them.
To put it simply, as the grace that Gao Bin receives increases, he surely will become overconfident.
And then Ortai would start to fear him.
How could a political party tolerate having two leaders?
The two of them will turn on each other sooner or later.
This is the check and balance principle of an emperor.
Say, you, being a lady, you almost lost your life like that.
In that situation, I had no more time to think.
You...what must I say to you?
Momo. I saw Fuheng today.
He said that he never knew my sister.
You're still investigating this matter?
Based on Sister's personality,
if she have picked up a precious jade pendant like that, she would have returned it to the owner.
But she instead kept it.
There's only two possibilities.
One is it's a lover. Otherwise, it's a person she bears a grudge against.
Sister has a lover. Even though she got heartlessly abandoned by him,
she would never easily have a change of heart.
Then there is only one possibility left.
Fuheng raped Sister.
