Episode 19
I hope that the emperor,
seeing me care for you day and night
and General Du's efforts in guarding the frontier,
will overlook this matter.
Otherwise, I also fear
the military leaders on the frontier,
all brought up
single-handedly by Marshal Zheng Dong
If General Du
is charged with crime for his daughter's indiscretions,
those generals would refuse to accept it,
and perhaps cause an uprising on the frontier.
Do you think
I wouldn't dare touch you and your entire family?
I wouldn't dare
What play is this?
Emperor
fighting with the empress?
This is not the place for you to speak!
Sister doesn't want to cut in,
but hearing
what Big Sister just said
I thought I should remind the emperor
Everything Big Sister says is right
and with good intentions.
The emperor should know
the troops under General Du
have always followed only military orders,
not imperial orders.
If the emperor
removes General Du's title,
then when those barbarian subjects find out
and get upset,
I'm afraid
they'll cause trouble for the emperor.
Nonsense!
You lowly Zhao Yi
have the right to sow discord here?
For your intent to interfere in affairs
I can punish you for a crime right now
and take your head!
Calm down sister
If I died
who would come here to
eloquently
plea for you?
Emperor, I didn't want to interfere
I think that
those lowly civilian,
incestuous matters
are not uncommon.
Besides, it's the crown prince
Even if he had three wives, four concubines
it's nothing serious.
If for these unimportant matters,
the emperor moved the foundation of the kingdom,
I think it would be a bad idea
and huge disadvantage.
By then,
not only have you offended General Du
and made a mockery of this before the entire court,
every commoner
will also learn of
the palace's corruption.
By then,
the emperor will face calamitous consequences.
Harming yourself along with others
So I made too big a fuss over this?
Since family scandals cannot be revealed
then what should I do?
Before the children, I should at least
set an example.
Yes
then let's see what the victim says
You Er
How do you think this should be handled?
As long as you point out who should be punished,
Father will support you
Father, I don't blame anyone
This has nothing to do with mother
Sister Wan's reputation is also important
Brother Xing and I are both reasonable people
I ask Father to please calm down
Place most importance on national peace and family union
Deal with this matter leniently
Your child thanks Father for his kindness
You Er rarely shows this much love
And Han Zhao Yi
also said something right.
A crown prince having several wives and concubines
is normal
Emperor
Since the victim is not complaining
then Emperor need not be so troubled.
For Du Wan not to be royal consort,
finding an excuse to not make Xing Er crown prince.
Then according to you,
just let it go?
I wouldn't dare talk nonsense
I can only hope that the emperor
will not use this matter to implicate everyone
and cause talk among others
Everyone here
is on your side
The only ones to dispute
are the crickets on the beams
Since you want to be Royal Consort,
I will nip it in the bud.
From now on,
I order you to be Qi Xing's concubine.
Furthermore, no wedding, no banquets
No ceremonies
as punishment!
Father!
I don't want Du Wan as concubine!
Shut up!
If your big brother didn't plea for you,
would you still be alive to speak?
Sister
With such a
joyous ending,
how should you thank me?
So quick to ask for favors
I wouldn't dare
Best if you didn't!
You interfering in my family affairs,
I shouldn't have let you off easily
but I'm in no mood to deal with you today.
I'm telling you
Earlier I was pacifying the emperor
to give him a way out.
I don't believe
anyone would dare touch our Du Family!
I'm warning you
Everything you've done today
I'll remember
If you
don't want to play with fire,
then be good and behave.
Kang Zi
Here
Get rid of all these for me
Yes
I still have other things to do
Is it true what happened
between Qi Xing and Du Wan?
Did you rush here
to console to me
or to laugh at me?
Why would I come to laugh at you?
I just wanted to find out what happened
Your eyes are red and swollen
Were you crying for me?
Who would cry for you?
Last night,
Sister Yao and I became sworn sisters
We had so much fun
So last night
I was the only person
who felt sad?
Even Meng Qi You feels sadness?
Then last night
were you really that happy?
I thought this time
I would really lose you.
It's ok
We have gotten through another disaster
We have
but...
Du Wan has attached herself to Qi Xing.
His life won't be easy from now on
There's no choice
since they've had conjugal relations.
Since you didn't marry Du Wan,
does this jade pendant you gave me
still count?
No
Why?
With you, what else do I need?
As long as you help me
remove all these
annoying red veils,
this will count.
Dear father,
daughter found out last night
that Jialing county magistrate Pan Zhong's daughter Pan Yu
is really Chu Kingdom's last dynasty princess,
Ma Fu Ya.
She entered Shu Kingdom as a royal consort candidate.
Miss, come
What did you say? Me?
The maidens
will soon be sent back out of the palace.
I have no other choice
I can only play this move
I know this puts you in a difficult position
If you're not willing
I can send someone else.
No
It's better if I handle it.
To accomplish great things,
one must give up many small matters,
and use any means.
Meng Zhi Xiang got the country
and Du Fei Hong controls the back palace this way.
If we want to win
we must be more ruthless than them,
more extreme.
You said you'd keep her life
I never thought
of killing her.
But this girl is too smart,
too uncontrollable.
Did you know?
These days
she has been secretly gathering medicine from the imperial doctors' office
every night
working on
an antidote for the Nian Nu Jiao poison.
I'm afraid that as time passes,
she will break free of our control
and eventually bite us back.
You ordered someone to spy on her?
Is it Yun Zhu?
The maidens
from the start I had someone monitor their every moment.
Yun Zhu is your biological sister
I won't implicate her
We've reached today's step
We must be guarded
One wrong step, and we'll lose the whole game
The scar recovered very quickly
better than expected.
Fu Ya
Mother would really like to see
the scar gone sooner.
Mother, don't be too impatient
Daughter will take your pulse
Mother, lately have you
felt any discomforts?
Anything unusual with your body?
I was fine a while ago,
but lately my chest hurts at night
and I have difficulty breathing.
What?
Is there something wrong with my health?
No
It's because of the medicine I used on your face.
These are all symptoms of the medicine
This means your face
is improving little by little.
Fu Ya, you only worry about mother
I think you've been getting thinner
What happened?
Nothing
Don't lie to me
I heard them say
First Prince
was to marry General Du's daughter.
You've thinned because of your sadness?
How is this related to daughter?
Why should I be sad?
First Prince is superior
in character, talent, and ability.
Before you also...
Mother
Don't think too much of it
Meng Qi You is only a deposed prince
Daughter wants to marry the current crown prince
I am going to be
Empress of Shu.
If I marry
a deposed prince,
how will I restore Chu Kingdom in the future?
How will I find younger brother and avenge Father's death?
Right, we're not in a position to think anything else.
If your father's death is not avenged,
we'd be breaking our vows.
Mother, you should rest and meditate.
Let daughter handle all this
Niang Niang, consort selection has ended
I am bound to leave the palace
Then my mother...
You can take your mother with you,
but I'm afraid
it will be a corpse.
Niang Niang, things have developed
to this point today,
but it's not as we desired.
My mother has been tormented enough
Please be magnanimous
and not separate us mother daughter anymore.
That's better than being separated between life and death
Princess Fu Ya is smart
You won't leave as you please
and disregard your mother's life?
Do you get happiness out of others' misery?
Even if you won't let me leave now,
once the decree is given I have to leave.
Calling you smart...
seems like I overestimated you.
If Princess wants to stay,
there are plenty of excuses to stay.
I don't care whether I leave or stay
I just don't want my mother to die
If you don't want your mother to die,
I will have to find someone to die in her place.
I haven't worn this
I haven't worn this either
But...
I will be leaving this magnificent palace soon.
Who? Who's outside my window?
Ghost!!
Niang Niang
What did you just see?
Niang Niang, Empress...
What are you crying for?
Tell me clearly what you just saw
I saw a female ghost dressed in white, holding a plum blossom branch,
with blood dripping from her lips
passing by my window.
She even laughed coldly at me
That's the likeness of Lady Mei Fei
Niang Niang, Niang Niang, I'm so scared
I'm so scared I won't leave the palace alive!
Before I heard Mei Fei most hated consort selection
Now she's back as a vengeful spirit
to take revenge!
Stop creating rumors!
To pretend dead with a plum blossom branch,
even my guard Mo Chou can do it!
How can you be certain it's a haunted ghost?
But Niang Niang, my parents are old
I must go back to take care of them. Please show mercy Niang Niang, let me go home
Shut up!
Do you think you can enter and leave this back palace as you please?
I'm telling you all,
the decree has not been given yet.
No one is allowed to leave the palace as she wishes
Anyone who disobeys, kill!
A mi tuo fu, Lady Mei Fei
please rest in peace.
I humbly
pray for your soul to rest in peace.
Please let me go
In three days, I promise to
forever
forever leave this Shu Kingdom palace,
leave your territory.
A mi tuo fu
Lady Mei Fei,
please let me go.
Please let me go, Lady Mei Fei
I humbly beg you
I promise to leave
I don't want to die
Why did this maiden die in the plum blossom forest?
Emperor, to my knowledge
this is already the second.
Who knows if someone
is deliberately covering this up from the emperor
not reporting events in the back palace.
Why did you not report this to me?
I was wondering what nasty person
would so boldly dare stab me in the back.
Reporting to the emperor,
it was I who decided not to report this.
I believe it is only the death
of a nameless, titleless woman.
There's no need to disturb the emperor
Even if the palace maidens die,
I have no need
to report every case to the emperor.
But Sister,
don't you think these maidens
died very strangely?
Why is each case
related to plum blossoms?
Unless the rumors are true
Mei Fei is back for revenge
Even if Mei Fei's ghost spirit
is back for revenge,
it should be against
the fox who charmed the Emperor into confusion.
Why would she
target those maidens for no reason?
Your theory about Mei Fei's ghost
is too unreasonable,
too laughable.
Sister is right
Perhaps I thought too much of it
but it's not without reason,
an absurd guess.
According to the Emperor,
Mei Fei is a clear-headed,
rather chivalrous woman who can distinguish between right and wrong.
She must have seen
the consort selection process this time
and the injustice against certain maidens,
and so she appeared as a ghost
to express her anger.
According to you,
Mei Fei had a deep friendship with those maidens?
Conversing over candlelight, communicating through Yin and Yang?
That's ridiculous!
No matter what,
I'm considering for the Emperor.
Why are these womens' deaths
all related to plum blossoms?
This is clearly...
because Mei Fei has something to say to you.
Enough, no more nonsense
Yun Er
Tomorrow is your mother's remembrance day
Help father arrange the prayer and incense burning
If she needs something,
she can meet me in my dreams.
Then Father...
will you not be coming to Chang Sheng palace tomorrow?
I...
think of her day and night.
I'm afraid that one step into the plum blossom forest
will bring me sorrow.
Sister,
the maidens are dying one by one,
this way
perhaps I'll be next!
If Princess wants to stay,
there are plenty of excuses to stay.
I don't care whether I leave or stay
I just don't want my mother to die
If you don't want your mother to die,
I will have to find others to die in her place.
Sister, don't worry
Tonight why not
stay at my place?
I will protect you
Emperor
What time is it?
Second Prince
must be preparing worship for Mei Fei now?
Emperor, if you're worried
then go there personally.
No
Going would only bring me more sorrow
Emperor, this calming nerve soup
I have already tested.
Please use some
and sleep well.
Mei Er,
do you really have grievances?
Then why not meet me in my dreams?
If you're angry, why not tell me directly?
Mei Er
How did I end up here?
I have to leave
Is it you? Mei Er...
You really came for me
Mei Er! Mei Er! Mei Er!
Mei Er!
Mei Er, don't run
Are you afraid of being harmed?
I will protect you, don't be afraid
Emperor, I am not Lady Mei Fei
You are my Mei Er!
Don't be afraid, I won't let you leave
Emperor, you really have the wrong person!
Father! Emperor! Father!
She's maiden Pan Yu
the Pan Yu I mentioned to you.
No, she's your mother
She came to find me
Emperor, I'm really not Mei Fei!
You have the wrong person!
Father, Father, Father!
Think calmly
If she were mother,
would she be this age and appearance?
Lies! All lies
We said to meet in our dreams...
Why did you break your promise?
Break your promise!
Father, Father calm down
Pan Yu startled the Emperor
Please forgive me
Raise your head
Who let you enter the palace?
Imperial household division
What a coincidence
I ask you again
Who let you into Chang Sheng palace?
Father
Your son let her into Chang Sheng Palace
Please excuse Pan Yu
from the death penalty for trespassing.
You get up, I was asking her
I'm waiting for your reply
At the time I was intoxicated by someone
I really don't know how I got into the Chang Sheng plum blossom garden
Do you think I would believe you?
Having startled the emperor,
Pan Yu deserves to die.
Please forgive me
and release me from the palace.
Release you?
You think I'm easy to fool?
Emperor, I speak honestly
Please investigate
Before I find out the truth,
you're not allowed to go anywhere!
Father
Pan Yu is but a consort maiden
How could she be collaborating with anyone?
Please investigate
But this is such a coincidence
don't you think?
Emperor, bad news
Something happened at the maidens' quarters. Speak
That maiden Su Yao fainted
and woke up crying, looking for Pan Yu.
Emperor,
Pan Yu was intoxicated while keeping Su Yao company.
Please allow me to see her, so that she doesn't worry
Who knows
whether you intoxicated her?
then got away to commit the crime?
Pan Yu wouldn't dare, Emperor please investigate
If I trusted everything others say,
could I still
steadily keep this throne?
Come!
Here!
Take her to the jail
Yes!
Father!
Don't plea for her!
Interrogate her using torture
until she tells the truth!
Take her away!
Father!
I believe Pan Yu is innocent!
Please investigate!
Father, Father!
What are you doing?
I'm begging you
Let me see our lady for just a minute
What are you doing? No way!
Emperor's orders
No one is allowed inside
to visit Pan Yu.
Otherwise kill without exception. Leave now
No one sent me...
Leave now
Sister! You hang in there! Wait
Leave! If you keep acting this way,
I'll take you in too!
Take me!
Take me! Take me then!
She's saved so many people in the palace
Why won't you just let her go?
Let go
Yun Zhu, Yun Zhu
What are you doing? Calm down, Yun Zhu
Calm down? Sister will soon be beaten to death!
Get her out of here!
Leave!
Go!
You murderers!
Yun Zhu, here, are you ok?
I'm innocent! Don't touch me
Yun Zhu, let's go back first
I won't! I won't go back
I'm just going to sit here!
See what they can do to me!
You can't do much by sitting out here
You won't save Miss Yu
Then what do you propose?
You don't have the energy to fight them
Have you eaten yet?
At this time,
how could I be in the mood to eat?
This is where you're wrong
Don't you think
that once you're full, you'll have the energy to charge in
and save Miss Yu?
Yes!
I'm telling you!
I'm going back to eat now. When I'm done I'll be back to take care of you!
Right, let's go
Did we outsmart ourselves
and reveal a flaw?
The emperor is suspicious by nature
Although Ma Fu Ya looks very much like Mei Fei,
her sudden appearance in the plum blossom garden
easily draws suspicion from the Emperor.
The Ministry of Justice is known for its cruel punishments
We have to think of a way
to save Ma Fu Ya.
Niang Niang isn't afraid that girl will betray us?
She would never!
First, she is obstinate
The more she's beaten, the less she will talk.
Secondly, she's so filial
She knows that if she confesses,
her mother will suffer.
So....
for her to confess...is extremely difficult.
Don't worry
This girl won't die anytime soon
Why?
The emperor is suspicious by nature
He knows that if he kills Ma Fu Ya,
all the clues are gone.
With his personality,
without having
gotten to the bottom of this,
he will definitely not rest.
But, we don't know
what move the Emperor will make.
Looks like this play
will go on.
But this
Li Mu Yi can't know about.
If she finds out
her precious daughter is in trouble
and causes a commotion...this...
wouldn't be easy to handle.
Interesting! Really interesting
Niang Niang, have you
already seen the reason for all this?
Wan Er's gestures
have already ruined the crown prince's consort selection.
By palace rules
all the maidens will be sent out of the palace.
That slut named Han
impatiently made a move
but it backfired.
As long as that Pan Yu confesses,
Feng Yi palace is over!
Niang Niang
You should take this opportunity to approach the Emperor
and lead the clues toward Feng Yi palace.
The Emperor has always had a suspicious nature
If we
pour gasoline on the fire right now,
the Emperor will suspect us of sowing discord.
Then won't we fall
into that slut's trap?
Niang Niang is intelligent, considers thoroughly
But there's one thing I don't understand
The emperor loves that slut Mei so much,
and that Pan Yu
looks identical to her,
by my understanding of the Emperor
he would definitely not
so cold-heartedly
harm someone
who looks exactly like Mei Fei.
Darn!
Kang Zi said he'd find First Prince to discuss this
Why is he not back after so long?
Eat? You're in the mood to eat?
I'm storing up enough energy
to go save her!
To save her?
And you've tried to say it so nobly?
Ya Ya is suffering in prison
and you are pigging out, with food flying everywhere!
You...do you have any loyalty?
Exactly because I want to save Sister,
I'm stuffing myself with all my might!
Why don't you eat?
I.... You..... I....
It's over, it's over!
There's no way
Worst case...
there's only jail!
You can't
First Prince
Is there a way to save Ya Ya?
Even you don't have a way, what is there to do?
How can Ya Ya withstand interrogation by torture?
What if, to extract confessions...this...
It won't happen
Fu Ya is not that kind of person
I believe her
Yes
My precious baby is obstinate
...so obstinate that she wouldn't say anything to safe her life.
That worries me!
Just think
of these torture devices
thrown on, back and forth.
How will she stand it?
That's more unbearable than death
No way
I have to save her
Wait
You can't even visit her right now,
not to mention break in.
Why not?
I'll go if you're scared to go
Ya Ya misjudged you, you greedy coward!
Hua Gong Gong!
Right now, we can only save Fu Ya's life by restraining ourselves
How?
Just think
Imperial Father caused such a commotion over imprisoning her,
his goal was to lure the snake from its hole.
Otherwise Yun Zhu would have been punished for wreaking havoc at the prison.
Would she still be alive?
You mean
the Emperor has already sent someone
to spy on us?
Exactly
But now Ya Ya is in mortal danger
Even if the Emperor sent someone to spy on us,
we can't helplessly
watch my precious baby
being tortured in prison!
I'm worried too
So the most important thing now
is to first understand
Fu Ya's situation in the prison.
Then we can think of a countermeasure.
That's where the difficulty lies
We can't even get in right now!
No matter what,
we have to get inside!
How dare you!
Block crown prince's path!
Please forgive me Crown Prince
I am only...Shut up!
You won't let me in? Fine
Immediately release Pan Yu!
Otherwise I will punish you for disobedience!
Move aside!
Crown Prince, Your Highness Crown Prince!
Your Highness Crown Prince!
Your Highness Crown Prince, please do not make your humble servant's job difficult
Emperor's orders, no one is allowed to visit
You...should head back.
Crown Prince!
If the sky falls, the Crown Prince will support it
Immediately release Pan Yu
or I will behead you!
Does the Crown Prince think his words would be any use?
This child is too stupid, he's interfering with our plans.
Move aside!
Crown Prince!
Move aside!
Qi Xing, you're crazy
You dare cause trouble at the prison, you don't want to live anymore?
But they imprisoned Sister Yu!
Can you save Pan Yu by killing them?
Let me tell you
Not only will you not save her,
you will personally dig her a deeper grave!
Bewitching the Crown Prince
into rebelling against the Emperor
is enough for immediate execution!
I....
Go back with me
Stop hanging around here
lest you also suffer a calamity! Go
Let go!
But Sister Yu
is still being tortured inside!
She deserves it
Who told her to carelessly
offend the Emperor? Go!
Sister Yu! Let's go
I'll get Imperial Mother to save you!
Please give me some food!
I haven't eaten in days
What are you doing? You devil!
I'm so hungry!
Give me some food!
Oh my god!
Oh no! Oh no!
Who in the. . . ?
Who tormented you like this?
A man?
What are you doing?
Big brother,
sorry, sorry
To big brother, sorry
Several days ago,
his child died in this prison.
He's taken it hard, and lost his mind
Right, we came to deliver prison food
Didn't think he would act up again.
Stop your craziness
Go go go
Time to eat
Bring out the prisoners
Don't look
Here
Where's Ya Ya?
Let's go
This...where is this?
This is the cold palace for imprisoning
family members with crimes.
Let's go
Be careful
Maiden Pan
If the Emperor hadn't ordered
that someone take the beatings for you in prison,
do you think you would be safe and sound?
You better confess!
Who instructed you to enter the palace?
Pan Yu
was selected by the family affairs division.
I was not instructed by anyone.
Seems like without torture,
you won't tell the truth. Come!
Here!
Maiden!
You haven't picked up your prison food yet!
How dare you! Where did you come from?
Where are we from?
Emperor arrives
Your subject greets the Emperor
Greetings Emperor
Presumptuous!
No kneeling before the Emperor?
Pan Yu does not kneel before unvirtuous, confused people
How dare you!
You're saying I am unvirtuous and confused?
If the Emperor had virtue,
why would he let innocent people
take beatings for Pan Yu?
If the Emperor weren't confused,
why would he falsely accuse Pan Yu
of collaborating
in a sinister plot?
Get up
Who's been here?
Replying to Emperor,
other than Miss Pan's maid
and the crown prince
creating disturbances outside the prison,
no one has been here.
Seems like your co-conspirators
can keep their cool.
Pan Yu does not have any co-conspirators
Emperor, please investigate
Fine, until you confess
I will keep you here.
See what's greater, your moral character,
or my patience.
Emperor! Emperor!
Get the imperial doctor!
Help save the emperor!
Emperor!
Emperor has been poisoned
Don't need you to worry
We've already sent for the imperial doctor
Emperor has been poisoned by a bug
By the time the doctor arrives,
the Emperor will be dead!
Quickly, get some boy's urine
Where can I find boys' urine?
No boys' urine...
Urine of older men will work too
Let's get some from that older gentleman
Quickly give some!
The Emperor was poisoned by a bug
This spider venom enters the blood,
causes difficulty breathing,
heart failure and eventually death.
Emperor surviving this
is truly a lucky sign from the heavens,
the heavens protecting Shu Kingdom.
Do you think this is a coincidence,
or is someone intentionally trying to harm me?
Father, that place
has always been dark and damp,
with bugs and ants everywhere.
Besides,
using a spider to harm you
is more than difficult.
I think you're overly suspicious
True
Father was blessed by the heavens
to be rescued by a skilled individual.
Otherwise,
the outcome would be unthinkable.
In the prison,
who so skillfully saved me?
Replying to Emperor, it was Pan Yu
Her?
This girl has extreme audacity
She dared drip urine on Emperor's head!
Brilliant!
What did you say?
I believe this method was used well
Urine can detoxify and reduce swelling
and can be obtained easily.
Had I been present in this urgent situation,
I would have never thought of
such an easy and effective
solution.
You praising her to the heavens...
What gains has she given you?
I was going to ask the Emperor
to charge her with the crime of deceiving a monarch.
Shut your mouth!
Father,
this happened so quickly. It was a last resort.
After all, it was Yu Er
who cured your illness.
How could you kill your savior?
Fine, tell her to come see me.
I thought you didn't kneel before unvirtuous, confused rulers?
Why are you kneeling now?
Second Prince and Pan Yu
are friends.
Pan Yu trusts Second Prince's words
The Emperor must be able to distinguish between right and wrong
Please return justice to Pan Yu.
You think that by naming him,
I'll believe you?
Believe or not, that's up to the Emperor
Pan Yu only asks for a clear conscience
Clear conscience?
I think your goal in curing me
is to atone for crimes by redeeming yourself...to win my favor.
Medicine is kind
How could I see someone in danger and not save him?
Although the Emperor is noble,
but in Pan Yu's eyes
he is the same as ordinary commoners,
with only one life.
How dare you!
The Emperor's status is so honorable
You dare
compare him to ordinary commoners?
Since ancient times, how many emperors
were born among the common people?
Although they become noble emperors,
they never forgot
that the people are more important than the king.
Father,
Yu er and I have known each other for a while
Besides, she speaks bluntly
I believe she definitely
did not mean to offend Father.
This I can promise
Yun Er, the human heart is unpredictable
You trust
people in this palace too much.
I only trust my eyes
I also trust...
that these are the workings of Mother's spirit,
sending Yu Er to be beside me.
Although she looks like your mother,
but her arrogance...
How could she compare to your mother?
You think that because you look similar to Mei Fei,
I will treat you differently?
Pan Yu
never wanted anyone
to view me as Lady Mei Fei.
I just naturally look like her
Is that Pan Yu's fault?
Emperor is a wise monarch
For my appearance,
would you charge me
with plotting a conspiracy?
So clever and eloquent
Fine
Since I have no
evidence of your guilt,
and you've treated my poison,
I will reward you.
Tell me, what do you want?
No credit deserves no compensation. Besides,
Pan Yu has not fully cured
the Emperor's bug poison.
I dare not take credit
What?
You're saying
the bug poison on my father's body
has can been eradicated yet?
This poison is highly toxic
Whether or not he can stay alive
will depend on tonight.
Father, Father
Maiden Yu
My father has a fever
and is unconscious.
What can we do?
Do you have any ideas?
I need silver needles for acupuncture
to help the Emperor eliminate the poison.
You want to use needles on the Emperor?
If I wanted to harm the Emperor,
at the prison
I wouldn't save him.
He would have died there and then.
Zhao Gong Gong
Listen to her instructions
Quickly get the needles
Yes
I also need a writing brush and ink
to write the Emperor a prescription.
Brush and ink!
Yes
Maiden Yu, this way please
Maiden Yu, the needles are here
Quickly give this prescription to the imperial doctors' office
Prepare it for the Emperor
Second Prince, help me
Ok
Take out your hand
Mei Er, don't leave me
Mei Er
Don't go, don't leave me
Emperor
Don't move around, the needles will move
Mei Er, don't leave me
Emperor! Father!
Don't leave me
Fine, I won't leave
Don't move around
Don't leave me
It's done!
Emperor's awake
Great, the fever's gone
You...
Don't say anything
And don't move around
Darn it
I fell asleep watching the fire
Fortunately the medicine didn't dry out
How is the Emperor?
The hard part's over
Great
The heavens have protected the Emperor from harm
It's a great happiness!
Don't talk so much
Quickly feed him the medicine
Where was this medicine prepared?
It was Maiden Yu's prescription
I brewed it myself in the palace
If the Emperor is worried,
Servant can try it first.
Gong Gong doesn't need to try
If I wanted to poison him,
you wouldn't be able to tell.
Since the Emperor doesn't trust me,
just throw it out.
Why bother?
Come back
I didn't say I wouldn't drink it
The Emperor trusts me?
If you wanted to harm me,
you had plenty of chances last night.
Why bother saving me?
Yes
Maiden Yu treated Emperor's illness wholeheartedly,
watching over you for more than 10 hours.
Even Second Prince couldn't endure it
and went to rest in the side chamber.
Maiden Yu still insisted on watching over
Don't say anymore
The medicine will get cold
You're a kind doctor
Do kind doctors
treat patients this way?
Because I've always been misunderstood,
Pan Yu is not in a good mood.
Please forgive me
I'm sick. I'm not in a good mood either
Please be magnanimous and tolerate me
What?
Emperor is very much like my father
Displays temper whenever he's sick
Emperor, please use some medicine
Help me prop him up
Why does Emperor look at me this way?
Do you still think
I have other intentions?
No
I suddenly thought of Mei Fei
Mei Fei was once like this too,
feeding me medicine.
