Episode 20
Everyone, please.
This sliced fish is not bad.
General Huo even has such refined mind and attitude
to especially prepare a wonderful dish.
But isn't this bass a bit past its prime?
Deputy Inspector Lin, is your eyesight blurred?
That's not a bass.
That is definitely a bass.
It's not a bass, but a carp.
It has quite a different taste.
You dare to eat a fish with the same surname as the Emperor. That's high treason!
Execute him!
What "same surname as the Emperor"? I've never heard of it.
The "Tuoba" surname originated when Li Mu of Western Han changed his surname to it. Empress Dowager pushed for conversion to Han cultures.
She wanted the Li surname to be changed to Tuoba and become the surname of emperors.
Hence, the li yu (carp) is a fish bearing the Emperor's surname. They are forbidden food.
Deputy Inspector Lin dared to commit a crime against the ruling family.
His crime is punishable by execution. Arrest him now!
Huo Xuan, you dared to set us up?!
You bitch! You bitch!
Huo Xuan, how dare you?! You set us up to eat a fish with the emperor's surname.
Are you rebelling?!
What?
Is the fish on Provincial Governor Liu's plate also a fish with the Emperor's surname?
Or everyone is just so amicable and fears that Deputy Regional Director Lin will be lonely in his road to the afterlife
and wants to accompany him to cross the Naihe Bridge? (bridge before entering the netherworld)
All of them ate it! It wasn't just me!
General Huo!
Sit down.
General, I think we should check the plates of everyone.
What if we missed out anyone?
No...none... There is no one anymore.
You heard that? If Regional Inspector Liu said that there is none, then there is none.
General Huo, I am willing to lead the group in donating 500 dan of rice
to resolve the urgent need of the soldiers.
General, it's better to check it again.
After all, if His Majesty
learns about this, it won't be good.
1,000 dan.
Wang Ze, you better check them first.
5,000 dan of grains!
General Huo, that is already the limit.
It's also my fault for being negligent.
There will indeed be some strange fish getting mixed in, right?
Go then.
8,000 dan!
If you ask for more, you better just kill me.
Even the Regional Inspector is this generous in sharing his wealth,
others must not be to petty, right?
I'll also donate 1,000 dan.
I'll donate 100 rolls of crude fabrics.
I'll donate 20,000 money.
I'll also donate 800 dan.
You guys won't accept our goodwill and forced us to use more extreme means.
Since everyone is this generous, let me give you all a toast.
Okay then. Let's end here. Forgive me for I can't walk you all out.
General Huo, there is one thing I didn't get. Please enlighten me.
Say it then.
Did we really eat a carp today?
I am not stupid. Why will I let you all eat such a thing?
Deputy Regional Inspector Lin don't understand women at all.
Women are very petty.
He won't choose a normal road in the mortal world and instead chose to charge into a dead end.
I could then only wield my sword on him, kill a chicken to scare the monkeys.
Just for military wages, you dared to be this unscrupulous?!
Aren't you all also unscrupulous in embezzling funds?
Using the money that you stole from the citizens to protect the country,
that is a great deed.
What if in the end, I still refused?
If everyone was that petty,
I could only just kill you all,
lead my army into the city, and turn the houses of all
noble and rich families upside down.
Regional Inspector Liu, don't be scared. I was just joking with you.
Of course, I won't kill a major official of the border.
But to kidnap you and ask for a ransom...
Your wife surely will be crying, wailing, and rushing to deliver me the money, right?
Tell me, am I right?
You are totally perverse and unprincipled.
Regional Inspector Liu, I urge you to hurry and leave.
Or else, if our general changes her mind,
you might not be able to leave anymore.
General, would he file a complaint against you to His Majesty?
Rong Zhi believes in me that's why he entrusted me the duty to obtain the military wages.
And I will also leave the state affairs to him.
This is what true mutual trust is, fighting side by side.
Your Highness, this person indeed is wearing Liu Song clothing.
His dagger is also from Liu Song.
In Wei's most flourishing market, not only Song items,
even the rare jewelries of the Western Regions are present.
Why then did he disguise as coming from Liu Song?
Rong Zhi, if I am going to do bad things,
I would have covered my face and not let anyone know that I'm the Princess Regent Consort.
Just try calling my name again.
That's not the main point.
The main point is someone's using the name of Song to incite trouble.
No need for you to meddle in this matter. I'll investigate it.
Rong Zhi, can you stop pushing people away?!
Think about it. I'm a Song princess.
If I allow rascals like him to cause trouble, won't I become a laughingstock?
Lanruo!
Your Highness.
Take Princess Consort back to her room! If I hear her speak again, I'll cut off her tongue.
Why are you so mad? Look at your donkey-like face.
It's been pulled down so long. So scary.
- Men! - Yes!
- Hurry. - Carry him out.
- Shen Yu. - Here.
Record everything that happened in the market.
Your Highness, you're suspecting...
I don't know why but I have this ominous presentiment.
Qingyue, why do you think those people disguised as Song?
- I don't know. - I kept feeling that someone is deliberately inciting trouble.
It's just that they didn't expect me to be there.
Maybe it was just a coincidence.
But how can there be so many coincidences in this world?
A lot of coincidences are man-made.
But no matter what, you shouldn't have talked back against His Highness.
Forget it. I won't think about it anymore.
I'm sleepy now. I'm going back to my room to sleep.
I also am sleepy.
Attack!
Protect the military supplies!
General! We have a problem!
Hurry up...
What happened?
General, I was useless.
The military supplies got stolen.
Who are they?
Liu Song. They were Liu Song soldiers.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Where is Grand Imperial Consort?
Grand Imperial Consort has already rested. I'll go—
I know already. You leave first.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Grand Imperial Consort.
Grand Imperial Consort, you look health.
Why did you repeatedly refuse to see me?
If Your Majesty is unhappy about it,
just punish me with the crime of lying to the emperor then.
Why are you saying such words?
Your mother and I were like real sisters.
Since your mother died, how did I treat you?
Although you and Yun'er have different mothers,
you grew up together.
You were like real brothers.
Now,
you trusted the words of fawning officials
and treated him as an eyesore,
a thorn in your flesh.
of course, I dare not forget your care.
Why did you lock him up in that cold Prince Kang's Manor?
I am his real mother.
You won't even let me see him.
What are you tying to do?
Grand Imperial Consort, even if I commit a mistake, I must be punished like the ordinary citizens.
- Royal Brother committed a mistake— - Yun'er's
greatest mistake is he shouldn't have embarrassed Prince Regent.
The more he shouldn't have put His Majesty in a difficult spot.
If I've known that a day like this will happen,
when I gave birth to him,
I...should have just personally choked him to death.
It's way better than letting him now getting slapped by his brother,
unable to know where to place himself, enduring the supercilious look of others.
Fine. For your sake,
I'll forgive Royal Brother this time. Is that okay now?
I dare not make things difficult for you.
I know that it was hard for Royal Brother these past days.
I'll just make it up to him in the future.
Grand Imperial Consort, if you keep crying like this, I also will get sad.
Your Majesty!
Enough. Enough.
Grand Imperial Consort, stop crying.
I'll immediately give the order to release Royal Brother.
Grand Imperial Consort Qi was able to get a release order, you won't get restricted anymore.
Let's go celebrate.
Your Highness, what's wrong?
Yesterday, the regional inspector of Jingzhou sent a memorial
accusing Huo Xuan from stealing the military wages.
I know that.
Never thought that Huo Xuan will be that bold.
There were piles of memorials accusing her of misconduct and really caused a great ruckus in the court.
- But this for us is a good thing. - Good thing?
Of course. Just to protect Huo Xuan, Rong Zhi
tried hard to beat down on the regional inspector of Jingzhou.
Don't know how many people he offended with that.
Even His Majesty was very unhappy.
Isn't that a good thing?
Good thing. A great thing.
But my heart is very painful.
- Your Highness. - I treated her like a pearl, like a treasure.
I treasured her more than myself. But she...
risked everything to push herself into where the wind and waves are the fiercest
and become the target of public criticisms just for Rong Zhi.
- You are... - Why must she treat me like this?!
Your Highness, don't scare me.
My heart is very painful.
What is really wrong with you? I...
- I'll go look for a doctor. - Come back here!
If you dare tell anyone,
I will kill you.
Huo Xuan, let me tell you this. The more you love him,
the more I will let him die.
Let me see who will really get to kill the deer.
Qi Heng.
May Your Highness give your orders.
The time to pull the net has come.
Yes.
Help! Help! The Song envoy is killing people!
Let go of me! Let go of me!
Let go of me!
Hurry and leave.
Let me ask you, have you seen Lanruo?
I am not a ghost. Why are you avoiding me?
Princess Consort, please forgive me. I deserved to die.
Forget it. Leave.
Let's go...
Hey.
What's going on? Why are they rushing to avoid me?
Am I that scary?
How did the matter I ask you to investigate go?
Your Highness, I've already investigated a lot of people, but found no clues.
But, there was a Liu Song man that killed people after getting drunk.
After he was subdued, he still killed 2 more people inciting public outrage.
After this matter, there are now more grudges between the 2 sides.
If there is a Liu Song man walking on the streets, he'll get jeered and beaten up.
That's why...
they transferred the atmosphere outside in here?
Your Highness, please forgive them. Those servants are insensible and vented their anger on Princess Consort.
It's just that...
What?
It's just that the murderer wasn't an ordinary Liu Song person.
He is the envoy that accompanied the bride.
The marriage envoy?
It is exactly this reason that everyone is bearing grudges.
There are also rumors spreading privately among the servants.
- They were saying... - Saying what?
They said that Liu Song is harboring evil intentions with this marriage alliance.
The Liu Song princess is a spy.
Who is the one spreading the rumors?
Your Highness, don't get mad.
This matter must be carefully managed.
Now, because of General Huo's matter,
you're getting criticized in the court. At this time, you must not incite any dispute.
Stop daydreaming. I fear that even if I want peace and quiet,
they will not stop.
Your Majesty, the Liu Song people has disregarded our Wei laws and kept causing trouble.
It is causing seething discontent and indignation among the public.
If the court will just disregard this, I fear that it might lead to worse troubles.
I also have heard about that.
In your opinion, how should we manage it?
I dare not say it.
I told you to say it, so why can't you dare say it now?
Liu Song and our Wei are allies by marriage.
Liu Song princess is also the Princess Consort of the Prince Regent.
I just fear that Prince Consort will get sad, so I dare not say it.
What does Prince Kang mean?
You think I will be bias on Liu Song?
No, Prince Regent, you have misunderstood me.
I was worried that you'll be placed in a difficult spot.
Prince Kang, Prince Regent will surely prioritize the imperial court in everything.
How could he be biased towards Liu Song
just because of a marriage connection?
Then it means that His Highness Prince Regent will surely handle this matter fairly?
Of course.
How does His Highness plan to handle the murder case of He Shan?
Your Majesty.
This is just a small murder case among the citizens.
Wei and Liu Song just agreed to stop the war between us.
Why must we continue our fighting again
just for a measly matter?
Chancellor Ma, right now, numerous righteous and angry people
are gathering outside the office of the Superintendent of Trials. Unwilling to disperse from day to night.
They request that the Liu Song murderer be gravely punished.
They even tried to charge inside the Superintendent of Trials Office thrice.
Tell me, is that still a small matter?
Under the restrictions of the laws of our Wei,
there were never cases of evil murders like this before.
If not because the murderer was a Liu Song with noble status,
the Superintendent of Trials is unable to make a decision until now,
how could such a huge public outcry happen?
It's not that the Superintendent of Trials is unable to decide on it,
it's more of it's impossible to decide on it.
Your Majesty, I heard that day that the public was so angry
that they went to surround and beat up the murderer.
Right now, that murderer was like a 3-year old child.
Other than it can drool, he can't even defend himself.
It's then impossible to try the case, so how can it be concluded?
There are witnesses and material evidences. How can he even deny them still?
I just fear that the citizens might charge inside the Superintendent of Trials Office,
If we're still unable to arrest the murderer, it might be too late.
Your Majesty, that He Shan was an important envoy that accompanied the Liu Song princess to be wed here.
If we rashly kill him just for a small matter,
I fear that Liu Song will surely be angry.
So what?
A ruler must bear similar punishment as the citizens if he commits a mistake.
Can a measly Liu Song envoy be allowed to kill ordinary citizens?
What about the Wei's laws? What about our reputation?
We'll we just let other laugh at us that we can't even protect
the citizens right under the emperor's feet (living in the capital) and can just let others do what they want to do to us?
Enough! You all shold stop talking!
With this matter creating such a huge disturbance, even just to pacify the people's grudges,
this Liu Song man must be executed.
Prince Regent!
I am here.
After 10 days, execute He Shan.
I'll let you personally supervise it. We must show that the Wei law is fair and just.
I will abide your command.
You said that He Shan killed someone?
Impossible! It's impossible that he'll do such a thing!
It's true. A lot of people saw it.
He killed while he was drunk. He then got stopped by the citizens and dragged to the Superintendent of Trials Office.
Presently, this is the most sensationalized case in Pingcheng.
Because Superintendent of Trials kept delaying the verdict, hence, inviting a lot of public complaints. It might be—
That's why, the people within the manor are venting their anger on me.
They feel that since the Song envoy was a murderer, I'm also not some good person.
Princess Consort, don't say such things. I know that you're just getting dragged into this.
I am going to the Superintendent of Trials Office.
- Princess Consort. - Qingyue, let's go.
Princess Consort!
- Hurry and move. - Everyone, look!
- Hurry up. - These shameless Liu Song people.
We let them earn a living here in Wei.
But now, really great, they killed our fellow citizens!
So hateful! So hateful!
Leave!
Leave! Leave!
Stop the carriage. Let's go.
Leave! Leave! Leave Pingcheng!
Leave! Leave Pingcheng!
Leave Pincheng!
Leave! Move!
- Leave! Leave! - Hurry up!
- What are you doing? - Leave! Leave Pingcheng!
I know her! She's the princess of Liu Song!
It was her who brought the Liu Song people to Pingcheng!
She is the mastermind behind the murders!
Leave! All of you leave!
Leave! Hurry up and leave!
- Leave! Leave! All of you leave! -What are you doing?
Leave! Leave!
- Leave! - Get lost!
Leave Pingcheng!
Leave! Leave! Hurry up and leave!
Leave Pingcheng!
Leave! Leave!
Leave!
Shen Yu.
Protect Princess Consort!
Leave! Leave!
Move aside! Move aside!
Move aside! Move back!
Move back! Move back! Stop pushing!
- Princess Consort, I came late to protect you. Please forgive me. - Go and look for your mother. - Okay.
Let's go.
Stop pushing already! Move back!
We can't let her leave like that!
Leave! Leave!
Causing such a ruckus, are you still not going back?!
I'm going to see the Superintendent of Trials!
He Shan is indeed from Song. But he surely didn't kill people at random.
There must be a grievance in this matter. I want to listen to him explain.
Princess Consort, He Shan has turned dumb after getting beaten up.
Even if that's the case, I still want to know everything about this case.
Get up.
Go back and change your clothes first. I'll accompany you to enter the palace.
Get up.
[Superintendent of Trials Office]
He Shan! He Shan!
Your Highness, He Shan is dead.
Impossible. How could this have happened?
Just 5 more days and he's supposed to be executed. But now, he's dead.
How do you guard the prisoners here?!
Prince Regent, forgive me! He was still fine earlier. I also don't know what has happened.
Your Highness, please forgive me!
This is He Shan?
Yes. He has a scar on his frontal angle. There.
That's why, it's impossible that he is just disguising as a Song.
What do you mean?
You said that the Liu Song that caused trouble after getting drunk last time was just disguising as one.
That's why, I want to know, if the He Shan this time is really the Liu Song envoy.
So you came not to help me.
You want to prove the wrongdoings of Song, am I right?
Rong Zhi, you can't leave! Stop right there!
How did he die? Are you not even going to ask?
He committed suicide out of guilt.
He already has lost his mind because of getting beaten up, how can he still commit suicide out of guilt?!
You know that someone has killed him to silence him, yet you are not investigating this matter further. Why?
Princess Consort, the Superintendent of Trials Office is not a normal office. His Highness is currently put in a difficult spot and this is beyond his control.
Moreover, the killer is dead. If we are going to continue investigating this,
I fear that more people will get dragged into this. It's better to just conclude the case here.
Even if He Shan is indeed the murderer,
what about those innocent Song merchants?
They got married and had children here. They were just peacefully tending to their business.
They treated Wei as their second home.
But what about your people? Not only did you drive them away,
you even confiscated their wealth and shops. Why?
Princess Consort, if not because His Highness asked for mercy, these people will not just lose their houses and wealth.
They will also lose their lives here.
What did you say?
His Majesty is very angry. He ordered that all Liu Song people must leave the Wei territory.
If anyone disobeys, either they'll get imprisoned or immediately executed.
That's why, are you planning to start a war?
Just expel me out too then.
You think they won't dare?
Let me tell you this. The first one to die is He Shan.
The second to die are the Liu Song merchants. The third one will be you.
Since that's the case, the more this matter can't be easily ended.
What if I say that I have a way to prove that He Shan is innocent?
He Shan is already dead. What will you use to prove it?
I want to see His Majesty. I'll argue my case at the imperial court.
Rong Zhi!
Stop just stupidly standing there. Follow me.
You two quickly come here...
Princess Regent Consort, His Majesty is currently in Anle Palace discussing official matters.
If you really have any matter to talk to him about, just wait here for a little while.
But I have urgent matters to see him. I need to see him now.
Anle Palace is a place where the high officials discuss official matters.
It's really not proper for you to enter it.
How about this? Once His Majesty is done discussing things, I surely will inform him that you're here.
But...!
Since they are discussing state affairs,
as the Prince Regent, I have the duty to join them, right?
Of course, you can.
Please.
Liu Chuyu, I'll go in and look first. Without my orders, you must not leave this area even for a step.
I...
Fine. Since that's the case, then you must tell His Majesty
that this matter concerns the peace between Song and Wei. He must see me.
Please.

Your Highness, please drink some tea.
I heard that Princess Regent Consort is here.
Your Highness, that Liu Song princess
scared Minister Wang so hard.
You must stay far away from her.
Is she really that scary?
They say that the marriage alliance between Liu Song and Wei was their apology gift after losing the battle with us.
But in my opinion, she's totally a spy sent by Liu Song.
- Spy? - Yes.
Don't you know about that murder case of the Liu Song envoy? It has caused quite a sensation lately.
If the envoy can kill people, his master surely isn't a good person too.
What did you say earlier?
Princess Regent Consort!
My ears are very clear. From afar, I can already hear you saying nonsense things.
What did you say I was? A Song spy?
Your Highness! Your Highness, save me!
You...stop. Let go.
To thank you for how you've promoted my mighty name, I'll change your hairstyle today.
Your Highness...
You dare to?! You Liu Song princess!
Your Highness! Your Highness!
No! Help me!
Your Highness! Help me!
Don't cut my hair!
Don't!
- General, it's really unsafe to have entered Jingzhou City with just us two. - Unsafe?
That's right. A few days ago, just for the military wages,
you have greatly offended the Regional Inspector of Jingzhou.
He has submitted numerous memorials to complain against you.
Good thing, they all were suppressed by Prince Regent. He's now worrying on how to take revenge on you.
But now, really good. The military wages were lost. He surely will use that to make an issue.
Since I dare to rob him, I won't be afraid for him to cause trouble.
- But General— - Don't worry.
With his cowardice personality, at most, he'll just try to hold me back.
If I'm him, I would have gathered the city guards of Jingzhou and fight with me.
Will I still be saying inside the Regional Inspector Office to warm my eggs?
That's right too. But these past days, we secretly investigated but found nothing.
Could they have not entered JIngzhou?
I ordered people to block off all important exits. It's impossible for them to have transported them away from here.
The only area they could have hide it is Jingzhou.
These hateful Liu Song people, what are they trying to do?
Only by catching the mastermind can we know if these were really done by Liu Song.
Not right. I clearly saw that those assholes who hurt me were wearing Liu Song military uniforms.
We can't just look at things on the outside.
You must decide only after an in-depth investigation.
- Could it be General is suspecting— - The truth will eventually come out.
Let's go, stupid lad.
Okay.
Pavilion Master, Huo Xuan kept surveying the city. Looks like she won't give up.
Then let her continue investigating then.
I am looking forward to her performance.
Your Highness...
Servant! Hurry and save our prince!
What happened?
Let go. I don't need you to fake being a good person.
- Call the imperial doctor over. - Yes.
Your Highness...
- Don't touch him. - I...
Your Highness...
The emperor is here!
Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Hurry and save prince!
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Your Highness, hurry and wake up!
Royal Brother! Royal Brother!
Wake up! Wake up!
What happened here?
Your Majesty, we've already called the imperial doctor.
Imperial Doctor!
Your Majesty, the symptoms of His Highness is a bit weird. He seems to be showing mild signs of poisoning.
I already had him take a calming pill. He'll be alright.
- Poison? - Not really a poison, but more of an allergic reaction.
I previously reminded that His Highness has asthma.
His body is very sensitive. We should always be extra careful.
How do you take care of him?
Your Majesty, it's not the fault of others. It was her who harmed me!
What this got to do with me?
Your Majesty, 8th Prince has always had a weak body.
When he smells any heavy scent, he'll have a severe allergic reaction.
Hence, we never light any fragrant scent in our palace and the people around him never wear any fragrance.
After passing by Princess Regent Consort, I already smelled a weird scent.
- Although I was suspicious, I dare not have any improper thoughts. - I...
Who would have thought that not long after she left,
His Highness felt itchiness all over and had difficulty breathing.
What weird scent? I don't know what you're saying at all.
Where then did the weird scent on your body come from?
I...
Imperial Physician, please take a look.
- This is flower powder from poinsettia. - What?! Poinsettia?
That's right. The leaves of poinsettia are poisonous to begin with.
When ordinary people just smell it, it won't really cause any trouble.
It's just that 8th Prince has asthma and his body is very sensitive.
He must not get near such things.
If he's not careful, he might die from it.
Princess Consort, usually, what women put in their fragrance pouch are peppermint,
artemisa, orchids. It's impossible to be poinsettia
because everyone knows that poinsettia is a poisonous plant.
Why are you carrying one then? What is your motive?
Could it really have been done by Princess Consort Regent?
How could such a decent-looking girl like that have such evil heart?
8th Prince has no grudges with her. How could he be a problem to her?
Even if she's not targeting the 8th Prince,
she surely is harboring evil intentions for carrying a fragrance pouch with poison like that.
Liu Song people just have a vile heart and are very scheming.
This Liu Song princess has reached perfection in doing such things.
No wonder, they have envoys that will just randomly kill people.
Even if it was an act by the Princess Regent Consort,
harming the little prince is punishable by death.
I already said that fragrance pouch isn't mine!
It was found from you and not from others.
Prince Regent, what is your opinion about this?
Didn't I tell you not to just stay there and not move?
With their abilities to frame people up, even if I didn't move from my place,
there will still be a basin of dog blood that will fall on me from the sky.
Liu Song princess, stop talking cleverly in an ingratiating manner.
I want to hear your explanation.
May I ask everyone why I must carry a fragrance pouch with poison
and hurt a child?
I was idly chatting with 8th Prince earlier.
Accidentally, we mentioned about the murder case of the Liu envoy.
It was originally a careless mistake, but it angered Princess Regent Consort.
She then cut of my hair.
His Highness tried to defend me and said a few words to her.
Never thought, that she'll do such an evil matter to take revenge.
Based on what you said, teaching you a lesson was just a sudden act of mine.
I don't even know about the physique of 8th Prince.
How could I then have prepared a fragrance pouch beforehand?
Maybe you prepared the poisonous fragrance pouch not really to target 8th Prince.
Our Highness just happened to encounter it.
A small fragrance pouch hiding such lethal poison,
if you put it in a tea, the person who will get poisoned will surely have died.
Who knows who you're planning to harm by bringing that item inside the palace?!
Princess Consort, since you came to meet His Majesty,
how come you brought poinsettia powder with you?
That is being too disrespectful to His Majesty.
Could it be Princess Regent Consort was planning to kill His Majesty?
How could she be that bold?
It must be because His Majesty ordered that they get kicked out of Wei. Liu Song Princess didn't succeed in convincing him otherwise
so she thought of such evil plan.
It as also quite a misfortune for the 8th Prince. He suffered the bad luck in place of the emperor.
If not because 8th Prince's health is unique that he's more sensitive to fragrances,
if we've allowed the Liu Song princess to have hurt His Majesty,
then the Wei empire would be in jeopardy.
Do you all have delusional disorders?! What nonsense were that?!
That is an illness. You should get treated.
If you were not harboring evil intentions, why would you bring poison into the palace?
8th Little Brother accidentally bumping into this matter garnered him merits for saving His Majesty.
Your Majesty, Princess Regent Consort is harboring evil intentions and has repeatedly harmed people.
Her actions are really hateful.
You were always benevolent towards Liu Song and didn't order their extermination.
Now, you should be more decisive, right?
Enough!
Princess Consort, you say that you're innocent.
Please give everyone a rational explanation.
Get up.
Let me ask you. You fainted because you smelled the poinsettia fragrance and developed allergic reaction, right?
Yes.
Then, do you know that there are no poinsettia in Song?
Since I was little, I have never seen a poinsettia.
How would I even know that it's flower powder has poison?
Don't even say putting it inside a scent pouch and bringing it into the palace.
By my side, other than Qingyue,
all are Wei people.
Could it be that your Wei citizens
will tell me how to use poinsettia to harm people?
Although my Song women are famous for being clever in mind and hands,
other than eating and drinking, I really don't know how to embroider or sew.
Before framing me, why didn't you ask around properly?
I got famous for being an idiot princess.
You are quite honest.
The fragrance pouch may have also been created by others.
Who will I ask to make an item to harm others?
Would I tell your palace maid, "I'm harming your emperor. Go and sew me a fragrance pouch."
Even if I ask people to make one,
the cloth and thread used to make the fragrance pouch
can be traced, right?
Just investigate it and you'll know.
All these are just excuses.
You don't have any hard evidence, you won't be able to prove your innocence.
Okay.
Based on what you all said, one can faint just by smelling
the scent of poinsettia.
The if I personally picked it and the grounded it into powder,
the scent on my body will surely be stronger, right?
More importantly, I already said it. The fragrance pouch was placed on me by someone else.
That's why, that item must be on someone else's body before it got transferred to me.
Men! Call the dog trainer.
Ordinary men like to mingle with men of letters and pose as a lover of culture.
Using snow from winter to make tea.
They don't know that for rootless water like that, once they fell on the ground, they lost their cleanliness and purity.
If we're going to talk about the proper water to use,
it should still be the mountain springs.
No wonder that Royal Son of mine likes to visit you.
With such a huge imperial palace,
only you have the idle time to make tea.
Your Majesty Empress Dowager is heading the six palaces, of course, you are very busy.
I have always nothing to do.
Just using it to idle my time away.
His Majesty told me that frequently drinking mengding tea
can help cultivate your mind and spirit.
It is worthy to be called the 'deity of teas'. Too bad, its annual harvest is limited.
His Majesty pitied the tea farmers for toiling hard, so he asked them not give annual supplies to the palace anymore.
Never thought that Grand Imperial Consort Qi
still has an unending supply of it.
Prince Kang is filial. He knew that I love drinking teas.
He then especially sent people to deliver it to me.
His Majesty already scolded him after learning about it.
Because of that, I dare not enjoy it by myself.
I especially brought it to Your Majesty Empress Dowager so we can enjoy it together.
Thank you for your kind considerations.
Thank you for always remembering me.
