~Episode 30~
Yi Rou,
I have neglected you during this period of time.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Next time, I will
come more often to accompany you, to look after you and make it up to you.
I came straightaway after I received your notice.
How's Xiao Tian?
Xiao San,
you must be mentally prepared.
If you have something to say, spit it out. Don't be wishy washy.
Xiao Tian, she...
It has become her habit to use Hei Yu Xiang.
It's already so late. You called me here just to listen to you say this? Stop fooling around.
Do you remember
the bag of things she took away?
It contains Hei Yu Xiang.
I didn't suspect her when
she took it away to experiment on it.
Who knew
that she would become addicted to it
later on?
Even if she had Hei Yu Xiang,
I don't believe she would touch it.
You asked me here
to listen to your joke?
I just came back from Chu Xiu Chamber.
Xiao Tian was really locked inside there.
One moment she was biting someone, the next, she was scratching someone else.
It's like she lost her soul.
Now, my heart hurts so much.
How can you still say I'm joking around?
If you want me to believe, then show me proof.
I saw it myself, how can it be fake?
I still don't believe you.
If it's true,
I will break your head first.
Because you were the one who gave her Hei Yu Xiang.
It was my mistake. I regret this more than everyone else.
I don't want to hear all these now.
We will continue after I've seen her.
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey!
Where are you going?
I'm going to Chu Xiu Chamber to see Xiao Tian.
Why are you still going to Chu Xiu Chamber?
Haven't you made enough trouble the last time?
Don't worry. I will think of a way.
I won't make trouble for you.
Hey! Xiao San!

She broke in again?
Your bed got so stinky.
I'm throwing it away!
You're tired right? Why don't you wash your face?
Here.
Eat this fruit. I'm leaving now.
Hey, Octopus Girl!
I just realised how useful you are.
What use are you referring to?
I must try it before I know it.
Come here.
You must first tell me how you got in here everytime.
My Lady,
I just fed He Tian Xin.
Judging by her condition now,
if we feed her a few more times, she will either become dead or disabled.
Continue to increase the dosage.
Yes.
Hey! Open the door!
What unspeakable deeds are you committing inside?
Hurry up and open the door!
Still not opening the door?
You!
Get out of my way!
I take it that you are the newly named concubine?
I want to see Xiao Tian.
Miss He is not in.
Not like it's any of your business!
You either bring Xiao Tian out here,
or I will go in.
Miss Zhao.
Wow, you know who I am?
You are pretty famous in the palace.
I'm very pleased to meet you.
Cut the crap!
Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian!
Miss Zhao! Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian, where are you?
What are you doing?
Miss Zhao!
Don't be like this.
Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian?
Xiao Tian, hurry up and come out.
Xiao Tian?
Xiao Tian.
Miss Zhao! Miss Zhao!
She's not here.
Where is she? I want to see her.
May I ask, why do you need to see her?
I can help you relay your message to her.
Sorry, it's not convenient. I have to see her personally.
Then I'm sorry,
I can't fufil your wish.
I didn't expect you to be more unreasonable than me.
Miss He is trying her best to learn the palace etiquette here.
It's not convenient for her to receive any guests.
I came such a long way from home.
If I don't see her, I won't leave.
Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian, where are you?
Miss Zhao!
Xiao Tian!
Miss Zhao!
Xiao Tian!
Xiao Tian, where are you?
Let go of me!
I don't care if you bring out the Empress Dowager,
or the Buddha.
I must see Xiao Tian today.
Please forgive me.
I can't do that.
Oooh. Fine.
Then let's see if you have more time than me.
Cui Huan.
Yes. Go and attend to other things.
I understand.
Hey, come back!
Miss Zhao, I will accompany you.
Come. Let brother play with all of you.
Xiao Tian, are you okay?
Let's go quickly.
Ah. I understand now.
If Xiao Tian was staying at Chu Xiu Chamber like she was supposed to,
then why didn't you let me go in?
I think that you must have done something to her.
Or she wasn't inside in the first place.
Do you mean to say that I am holding Miss He against her will?
Eh. I didn't say "held against her will" exactly.
If it's only you who wish to see her,
then I can't let you.
Miss Zhao.
Alright, alright.
Aiya. If you won't let me see her, then so be it.
I'll go tell my dad myself.
Then I must trouble you to do that.
Have mercy on us! My Lady, please have mercy.
When did it happen?
Please have mercy on us!
Please punish me severely, Your Majesty.
Rise.
What happened?
Xiao Tian, has gone missing.
Huh?!
When I just came back to my room, the palace maid came to report to me.
She said that Xiao Tian struggled and untied herself.
She broke the door lock and escaped.
Then...
Where did she escape from?
I don't know that.
Then did they see anyone suspicious?
No, they didn't.
But just now, Miss Zhao came to look for me.
She said she wanted to see Xiao Tian.
After I kept giving her evasive answers, she left.
It happened all because of my carelessness.
Please punish me.
This...
Is not your fault too.
You sacrificed so much for Xiao Tian.
Her escape,
is not what you wanted too.
Don't blame yourself.
Please help me to get Xiao Tian back.
I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager will delibrately complicate the issue if she knows of it.
Furthermore,
her drug withdrawal symptoms got pretty severe these past few days.
I'm afraid something will happen to her outside.
I understand.
Until Xiao Tian appears,
I won't be able to rest.
You must have worn yourself out these few days.
It's better for you to rest early.
Thank you for your concern.

Zhe San! Xiao Tian is awake.
Hurry up and come here.
Get up, don't block me.
Get up, get up.
Xiao Tian,
are you awake?
Xiao Tian, I'm the one who rescued you.
How can you say that without feeling embarrassed?
Did you go in and face the palace maids?
I'm referring to those who looked like guys.
If it wasn't for me, who remained outside to distract that pretentious Lady Concubine,
would you have succeeded in saving her?
Look, look. You said it yourself.
I am still the one who saved her.
You!
Fine. You better don't come asking for my help next time.
Octopus Girl, thank you so much.
Why are you calling me "Octopus Girl" too?
It's so original!
Even your hat says alot about your image. Get up.
Xiao Tian, you are pulling the wrong person. My hand is here.
I am the hero who saved the damsel in distress.
Thank you Second Brother.
I got it.
You don't have to thank me.
You are more than welcome.
People like me, who live on the streets, know how to carry out heroic deeds best.
Don't tell Elder Brother.
What?
Don't tell Elder Brother
that I am here.
But...
Did both of you have a fight?
Yi Rou framed me on purpose.
She forced me to take Hei Yu Xiang.
Oh my God.
I knew that something is wrong with that concubine.
Elder Brother must have been blinded by that Yi Rou.
I will go look for him now. I'll break his head to wake him up.
Don't.
You must never do that.
Don't tell him.
Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian.
Don't add to the confusion here. Go out quickly.
And remove your hat.
What has it got to do with my hat?
She fainted after looking at your hat. Go and get her medicine.
Go go go!
Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian?
Protect His Majesty! Quickly!
Xiao San? What are you doing?
I came to knock your head.
Knock my head?
Hey, say it more clearly.
You know what you did.
You said we are sworn brothers?
Don't think that you are great just because you are the Emperor.
Let me ask you.
Have you really cared about Xiao Tian's welfare before?
If I don't knock your head today,
I will follow your surname.
I will call myself Zhu Zhe San. Hmph!
Er... All of you back down.
Hey!
If you have something to say, say it clearly.
Did you know, Xiao Tian disappeared?
You still care about Xiao Tian?
You are doing it for real?
I have never seen Xiao Tian happy because of you. She has always been sad because of you.
I know what I am doing.
Your Majesty, he started it first.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Hey! What's wrong with you?
Peaches for sale!
Take a look. They are very fresh.
Peaches for sale!
Miss, take a look.
I pay respect to Your Majesty.
Why are you following me?
Errr...
Stop finding.
There's a hole for you to crawl in there.
Wow. What a coincidence
to find you eating an apple nearby.
Er... Is Xiao Tian nearby too?
Stop acting. You're bad at it.
Then I won't act anymore.
Is Xiao Tian with you?
We are brothers,
how can you suspect me like this?
Yes. Xiao Tian is with me. So what?
Can you bring me to go see her?
No. Can. Do.
I want to know her present condition.
Why weren't you so concerned about her when she was at Chu Xiu Chamber?
Why bother pretending to be a good person now?
Who said I wasn't concerned about her?
Then did you know
what kind of life she had in there?
This...
But Yi Rou took good care of Xiao Tian.
"Took good care"?
Your wife locked Xiao Tian up
and got busy with feeding her Hei Yu Xiang.
You call this "took good care"?
Hey, hey hey. Don't talk nonsense like this.
We both know who is the one talking nonsense.
Why don't you go back and ask your wife?
See if she's trembling with guilt.
Yi Rou... What purpose does she have for treating Xiao Tian like this?
How will I know that?
I only know that it's true that Xiao Tian got tortured.
The reason she became like this,
is related to the way you left her at Chu Xiu Chamber without a worry.
Please bring me to her.
She doesn't want to see you.
I... I want to...
I am telling you. Don't you dare come near my house.
I want to explain it to her.
What is there for you to explain?
Let me ask you.
Do you really believe that Xiao Tian was forced to take Hei Yu Xiang?
I really feel that it's not worth it for Xiao Tian.
In response to Your Majesty...
Hey! Woah.
Hey, hey!
Do you really know how to deal with things or not?
You already have her locked up in Chu Xiu Chamber, and she already took Hei Yu Xiang.
With so many people watching her, she could still escape.
You are worrying me to death.
I suspect that this must be the work of Zhang Zhe San and Zhao Xiang Ning.
That Zhao lass just likes to oppose her father.
We don't have to worry about her.
The troublesome one is that Zhang Zhe San.
With your power,
I have confidence that I can get rid of him.
What did the Emperor say?
His heart is still not leaning towards me.
Aiyah. If this carries on,
that He Tian Xin will become the Empress sooner or later.
Even if I want to help you, I am powerless to do so.
I already have a plan- -Don't say anymore.
I will report this to the Empress Dowager.
Yes, Godfather.
Yi Rou, Yi Rou?
Yi Rou pays respect to Your Majesty.
Yi Rou, did you force Xiao Tian to take the Hei Yu Xiang?
Who did you hear it from?
Answer me!
Did you force her or did she take it willingly?
Even if I have alot of guts,
there's no way I will dare to do such a lawless thing like this!
But Zhang Zhe San told me that
you held Xiao Tian against her will and forced her to take Hei Yu Xiang.
Then, Mr Zhang must have a misunderstanding with me.
You believe him?
He's a straightforward person. He will never lie to me.
Then why would I lie to you?
Xiao Tian and I are as close as real sisters.
I even took 30 beatings for her willingly.
Now that she has become addicted to drugs,
I can't even sleep at night.
There is always a reason for everthing.
If you don't have a motive to harm her, people wouldn't say such things of you.
I think that Mr Zhang isn't the kind of person who spreads rumors.
Did Xiao Tian tell him that?
This must be one of Hei Yu Xiang's effects.
It causes hallucination easily.
If you don't believe me,
you can get Doctor Leng to verify it.
I am willing to confront Xiao Tian about it too.
Every word I said is true.
I am absolutely not lying to you.
And I have never harmed Xiao Tian.
I hope so.
Then, is Xiao Tian okay now?
Did she get in touch with you?
Is she with Mr Zhang?
She's fine. Don't ask about anything else.
Now that Xiao Tian is fine, I can stop worrying.
Get up.
I won't get up.
If you don't believe that I'm innocent,
I will remain on my knees forever.
Second Brother is here! Second Brother is here! Octopus Girl, quickly come over here.
A Goddess in real life! Quickly pray to her. Hurry!
Wow! Please protect Xiao Tian, please protect Xiao Tian.
Second Brother, I can't take it anymore.
I'll save you immediately. Even I can't take it anymore.
Really.
It's suffocating.
Quickly. Xiao Tian, come out quick.
Come, come. Be careful.
Come sit over here. Careful. Drink some water.
Xiao Tian, how is it? Shouldn't you remove them now?
You might ascend to heaven if you wait any longer.
I'll pull them out for you.
Are you feeling better?
Octopus Girl, come here. Come here.
These things, you must use them at the right place. Get it?
See. You look different immediately.
See how compatible they are? Look for yourself.
Quickly find a mirror and look. It's such a good opportunity for you to pray to yourself.
Xiao Tian, was the "steam bun" method useful?
If you were the one being steamed, it wouldn't be useful. At most, you could only lose weight. For her, it should have worked.
One time is not enough.
It will only be effective after a few more times.
You're right.
We must steam a few more times, or else you won't be cooked.
Yes, yes.
Be good. Let me carry you.
Go in and rest.
Come, come.
Aiyoeh.
It's here. It's here. The medicine is ready.
Give it to me.
Careful, it's hot. I'll feed her.
You should go back first.
Why? I don't want to go back.
What if your dad comes to find you
and sees Xiao Tian here?
Fine, I'll leave.
Remember to close the door.
Does Xiang Ning often come over?
She comes over whenever she's free. She vents her anger on me.
I think that both of you suit each other.
She and you look more suitable.
You and I
are a match made in heaven. Isn't that right?
Here. Drink the medicine.
What are you doing? I am serving you for once.
There's no need. I can drink it myself.
Why didn't you tell Elder Brother that it was Yi Rou who framed you?
Huh?
Yi Rou is Elder Brother's concubine now.
I am but a small female officer.
I don't want to ruin their relationship.
But...
That Yi Rou ruined the relationship between Elder Brother and you. Aren't you bothered by it?
I am talking about the relationship between siblings.
What Elder Brother saw,
was all fabricated by Yi Rou on purpose.
Don't mention it again.
Oh. So that was what happened.
Don't tell me you already told him?
No, I didn't.
Who said that I have already told him?
You just said it.
I didn't.
Didn't I ask you to not tell him no matter what?
Why are you so overbearing?
The needles are still with Octopus Girl. I'll go get them back.
Zhang Zhe San...
It's true that Hei Yu Xiang will numb one's consciousness.
And make one imagine things that don't exist.
Then will it affect one's memories?
The user might mistake what they fabricated
as the reality.
How high are the chances of this happening?
Quite high.
The inability to distinguish the actual situation, is one of the potential dangers of this drug.
Palace maid Cui Huan from Chu Xiu Chamber, wishes to see Your Majesty.
Come in.
Your servant pays respect to Your Majesty.
Please save My Lady.
What happened?
After you left, My Lady has been kneeling at the courtyard.
She wouldn't get up. And she refused to eat and drink anything.
I am really worried about her.
She said that she won't get up until you forgive her.
Recently, her health hasn't been good.
If she continues to stay in the cold,
I am afraid she won't be able to take it.
I am begging you to please go save her.
I know. Get up already.
I will take my leave.
Physician Leng.
I'm here.
I must ask you to prescribe some medicine.
Please prescribe some medicine to get rid of drug addiction.
I will do as you ordered.
My Lady, the Emperor is coming.

Get up.
Are you going to believe me now?
Get up first.
Your Majesty, you were the one who let me get up.
I didn't do it because I wanted to.
Go inside first.
It won't be good if you to catch a cold.
Come.
Are you leaving?
It's late.
I will ask the palace maids to send some food here.
Rest early.
I have no appetite.
If you think that I'm not good enough,
then I won't do anything else other than reflect on my actions.
Then I won't do anything else other than reflect on my actions.
But I didn't do the things that you accused me of doing.
This, I can't accept.
I will get to the bottom of this.
Aren't my true feelings towards you,
Not enough evidence of innocence
Are you going to keep refusing me?
Subtitles brought to you by the Unruly Qiao team at Viki
How long do I have to wait
before your heart leans towards me?
Yi Rou will always belong to the Emperor
Your Majesty, My Lady, the Empress Dowager asked both of you to go to Ci Ning Palace.
What kind of person are you treating me as
I made Yi Rou your concubine,
But yet you treat Yi Rou indifferently
And you even turned a blind eye to the trouble He Tian Xin created.
Worse still, you wanted Yi Rou to protect her from the consequences.
This matter, is not as simple as it seems.
It's not the way you think it is
You know what I am thinking.
You've turned a deaf ear to my wish for a grandson.
Not only did you disappoint Yi Rou,
you even let your ancestors down.
I know that you are anxious to see the royal bloodline being continued.
But I have no interest to do so now.
I know
I know that your mind is filled with thoughts of He Tian Xin.
Okay
I'll give you time. Find out where she is.
I want her to pay for the consequences she deserves.
Including the hurt caused to Yi Rou!
She even got you implicated!
All these crimes... I will not give her light sentences!
I am daringly asking you this,
in what way did I get implicated?
The Hei Yu Xiang she ate, was given by you, right?
I have lost all my faith in you. Do what you will.
Mission accomplished!
Good job, good job.
Here, here, here Let me do it
Sit for a bit here
You are almost fully healed
What are your future plans?
How about you stay here?
Stay here and clean up your house?
Xiang Ning throws away garbage everyday
If you come I will be sure to personally serve you
And I will clean this place until it's neat and tidy.
Can you keep this away properly?
No
Don't rummage through my things.
Who does this belong to
Octopus Girl
From now on when you come here
don't bring along your father's things too.
Look, look at this
It's Zhao Pu Song's.
It's a misunderstanding
If you don't want to stay here, it's fine
I've said before that I will take you and Madame He to a distant place. My offer still stands.
I haven't really thought about what I should do next.
Hey, the paper rolls you used for burning have ran out. Do you want me to buy some?
Do as you please.
You don't need to think
Just need your one word and I'll pack up
We'll be the same as we were on the mountain
a family of four, living in harmony, how happy for us.
Only you're happy
No
Madam He will be happy
Her daughter, her son-in-law and pet,
which is Da Fu, gathering together.
If we're not careful, she might have a grandson very soon.
I don't want to hide anymore
I will not let you return to the palace
Once every two to three days, you would get framed by someone. You have bad luck there.
But didn't you also get bored
hiding in my house pigpen the previous time?
That's not the same
How can you compare my mansion with a pigpen?
How is it different
If we hide now
won't we have to remain hidden forever?
Hey, hey
I already said this work is not for you
We have Octopus Girl, look at you
Octopus Girl, Octopus Girl, Octopus Girl
Zhang Zhe San I'm gonna kill you
Who do you think you are
You think I treat just anybody this good?
Making sure you were warm all the time, got busy with this and that...
Are you a block of wood That you have no reaction at all
I think Mister Zhang really has no emotion
Okay
Starting tomorrow
He won't see me at all
Really?
Miss you are letting go of him?
If I don't give up then what should I do?
How can someone with as much nerve as him exist?
Can having a lot of nerve be changed?
Mr Zhang isn't the type of person who is refined.
If you want to change him it'll be a bit hard
I gave him love and affection And yet he's letting it go
I'll let him regret it
You really will refuse him?
I'll refuse him directly. I won't be softhearted.
Actually there is something I need to tell Miss
Say it
Today when Li Bu Shang Shu came to our house
How is that strange
He comes over all the time
He's here to propose a marriage
He came and met my Father to propose
Yes
What did my Father say? What's his reaction?
He agreed to it
You scared me to death
Why did you come?
I came to see you
Hurry come in
How come you didn't come vist for a long time
Why does your complexion look so bad
Are you sick?
No I'm just busy with work
Busy? Even if you're busy You need to take care of yourself
I'm counting on you for taking care of me For the rest of my life
I know
Mother
I want to ask you something
Say it
If someone is hurting you
And the whole world does not believe you
What would you do?
Is someone framing you?
No, I'm just asking
Then you need to make a plan To prove you're innocence
What if you can't find proof
When you were younger
Next door there was a child whose toy disappeared
In the end, they found the toy in our house.
They said you were the one who stole it Do you remember?
I remember. Who would want to steal his toy?
He was the one who mocked at us for being poor.
He got scolded by me.
So he snook it in to our house
And then said that I stole it
After that everyone thought you were a thief
and you kept saying that you wanted to move house.
I told you that if your posture is straight, you need not worry that your shadow will be crooked.
If you didn't do anything bad Then don't be afraid of what others say
After that, that little boy tried to use the same trick again.
In the end, I caught him red-handed.
And I made him apologise to you in front of everyone else, proving your innoncence.
If being framed is a momentary thing,
then just bear with it.
If your conscience is clear,
God won't permit the culprit to continue framing you.
Xiao Tian what's wrong
Did something happen
If something happened
How can I talk to you here right now
Don't argue with me.
You better hurry back and report to the Emperor that
you want to resign from your job.
Give me some time
after I finish what I set out to do, I will think about it.
Think about it? That I don't believe
You said that a lot of times
Never once did you do it
Mother I promise
This is the last time
Mother, I'm hungry
Is there anything to eat?
What do you want to eat?
Xiao Tian Xiao San Xiao Tian
Your Majesty has graced us with your presence. Forgive me for not receiving you earlier.
I brought medicine for Xiao Tian
There's something to say to her
XIao Tian does not want to see you
Open the door
Xiao San,Xiao San Open the door Xiao San
I came whole hearted to see Xiao Tian
Don't be like this
If there is anything say it to me
Xiao Tian Xiao Tian open the door
Xiao Tian Open the door Xiao Tian
