Episode 9
- Stinky brat, go play in hell! - Commander Li.
Why you increasingly don't take me seriously?
You captured people, without asking me, you acted on your own to execute them.
Who has the final say here?
Lord Lang, I saw this Ye Ningzhi,
I got so angry and acted rashly.
How are things? Did you find any evidence?
Two letters here, also a brocade box. Give me the pills.
Good job.
Thank you, Lord Lang.
Let's kill them now.
Think things over before making a decision.
People now from all directions are looking for Ye Ningzhi.
If we kill her now, how are we going to get away?
Noble Consort Fu has ordered me to kill her.
What's the rush?
Guards put them both in a coffin.
Handle them somewhere else.
People, put nails on the coffin.
What are you doing?
Is there anyone? Let us out.
Let us out. I still have lots of evidence that I haven't given to you.
Wei Guang, wake up. Wake up, Wei Guang.
Wei Guang, wake up!
Where are we? Why is it so dark.
They threw us into a coffin.
How are you?
Are you injured? Are you injured?
Don't speak.
Listen carefully sounds from the outside.
Listen up, there's a brook right in front.
Walk past the brook, there's a forest. It's safer to do the job there.
All right.
What have you heard?
They said there's a brook in front.
After they walk past the brook, they would...
They want to bury us alive.
Let us out! Let us out!
Don't move!
The coffin is tightly closed. The more you move around, the more difficult you can breathe.
Stay quietly and think of a plan.
We both will die here?
Don't worry. I'm here.
That's right. You're here.
Having you here, I'm not afraid to die.
Don't speak. Air in here is scarce.
I practice martial arts, therefore I can sustain a little longer.
You breathe slowly, that can help you sustain for a little while too.
What are you doing? You let me breathe while you yourself don't breathe?
What am I supposed to do if you die?
Do as I say.
If you die, what should I do?
Let's die together, okay?
This road is very narrow! Watch out!
There are many pebbles, be careful not to slip and fall!
Seems like they're on a narrow path.
Let's bet.
What's happening here? You all are a bunch of useless people.
Are you okay?
How are you? Here, sit down.
Ningzhi, listen to me,
I found Fu Shi Gui two days ago, but he escaped last night.
However, he is definitely still in the palace.
As long as he's there, when we get back,
we'll flip the palace upside down and catch him.
There's also something strange,
only Her Highness and the Empress have seen the illusions.
These days, I carefully asked the surrounding maids and eunuchs about it.
They all said that Her Highness and the Empress have been bitten by a kind of mosquito.
They got a rash and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Her Highness and the Empress... all year round they have mosquito incense, how could there be any mosquitoes?
That's why I sent people to investigate,
if there are mosquito-like needles or weapons involved.
Wei Guang... Wei Guang!
Wei Guang!
Ningzhi,
no matter what happens,
Lang Kun cannot be killed.
What are you saying?
Did you forget about how Lang Kun treats us?
Because of him, you fell from such a high place.
But, we are still living,
isn't that right?
Wei Guang...Wei Guang...
Wait for me...wait for me to go find you medicine, okay? Wait for me!
Where is there a doctor?
Do you know where there is a doctor?
There is no doctor here. There is only a medicine shop here.
Sir.
What medicine do you want to buy?
I want to buy Jin Chuang Yao. My friend was injured from a cut wound and is bleeding a lot.
Okay. Wait a minute.
Eight taels in total.
I did not bring enough taels.
You did not bring enough taels, and you still want the medicine.
Do not run! Stop!
It's okay...
It is okay.
You will definitely be okay.
If I die,
you have to take care of yourself.
I know you like to stand up for injustice.
You must protect your own life.
Then there will be hope. Do you know?
You will be fine.
I will find you a safe place
to recover. After you recover, we can return back to the palace.
Then fight Noble Consort Fu together. Okay?
Wei Guang, you still have a lot of things to do.
You haven't fulfilled your long-cherished wish yet, did you forget? At that time you promised,
In the beginning, you promised to be with me
because of your revenge.
Think about your father.
How can you face your father if you close your eyes right now?
Think about me.
You still did not marry me yet.
If you leave like this.
How can I continue to live, Wei Guang?
I do not want you to die.
Ningzhi.
Ningzhi don't cry.
♫ The echo I've been waiting for carries the sound of sacrifice ♫
♫ If it's quiet, it means the broken heart was hidden ♫
Smile Ningzhi.
♫ Love is weak and can't endure the wind, and yearning is unsettling ♫
I like it...
♫ Who can give more? I can only gently entrust it ♫
♫ You are guarding a vast world ♫
Do not cry.
♫ And I have treated you as a gift of destiny ♫
♫ Everytime I think of ♫
♫ the surviving tidbits ♫
♫ Your stability is enough for me to spare no effort ♫
Wei Guang, wake up.
Wei Guang.
♫ I hate that I personally wrote the ending ♫
♫ When does desire fear? ♫
♫ At the utmost multitude ♫
♫ I will still continue walking for you ♫
♫ I am guarding a vast world ♫
This is my cart. Why are you taking my cart?
- Move. - Stop.
Stop there!
♫ Who will spare no effort for my love? ♫
♫ To pursue a heart, love has lost its opportunity ♫
Wei Guang, hang in there.
♫ I hate that I personally wrote the ending ♫
I will take you to a doctor.
♫ When does desire fear? ♫
♫ At the utmost multitude ♫
♫ I will still continue walking for you ♫
Wei Guang, hang in there.
Hang in there. I can take you to a doctor right away. You promised me.
We must both survive. You promised me, Wei Guang.
- You have to hang in there. - Stop.
Stop! Stop!
♫ If you would like me to believe this decision ♫
Let us help you, Miss.
Here, add some strength.
How is Wei Guang?
I have applied medicine and warp up Lord Wei 's injury.
But Lord Wei lost to much blood. He has a fever and it would not go down.
When will he wake up?
It will depend on these two days if Lord Wei can wake up.
He will be fine if he can wake up within these two days.
If he cannot wake up in these two days, I'm afraid that the injury is fierce.
- You can leave. - Yes.
Rest assure.
I will find the best doctor in the world for him.
Can he still be saved?
I say so, so of course, he can be.
My heart was not feeling well these few days that you guys were gone.
I know someone is doing it on purpose.
But cannot do anything about it. I feel bad.
Is that all you can say, Your Majesty.
These days, Lang Kun is missing and the Empress only knows to fast and pray to Buddha.
Wei Guang is also injured.
I really do not know who can help me.
Ningzhi.
Wei Guang.
You must wake up.
I want to make one last wish, Fairy Black Python.
I want Wei Guang to wake up.
I will not regret it even if something bad happens to me.
As long as Wei Guang can wake up.
Please grant my wish, Fairy Black Python.
Consort Gu, what a rare guest.
How come you thought of coming to Yong De Palace?
I wouldn't just be here for nothing.
I heard Lord Wei is recovering his injury here. I come to take him.
Take him? For what? What right?
You have mistaken me, I came to save him.
Wei Guang is unconscious the whole time.
I sent five imperial doctors to treat him day and night. He is still unconscious.
Did you forget, Your Majesty? The Emperor wants you to leave the palace.
What will happen to Lord Wei if you are not here?
What do royal doctors count as? I also invited a medical saint, Jiang Hong Xue.
He has already lived in the deep mountains for ten years. Seeing on my behalf, he returned to start again.
In the whole world, there is no one else except for him who can save Wei Guang.
Wei Guang serves me, why should you take him away?
I haven't abdicated yet, and you're already here to take over?
Today I will call you Your Highness, but you should learn to cherish this and step aside.
Noble Consort Fu, ascending and falling, right now you are so savage, but be careful or else you'll regret later.
What the future will be like, it is not yet known. But now, who fell the most, it's easy to see.
Did the emperor not tell you when you are leaving the palace? I already had Yan Kuan figure that out.
After the blessing ceremony, the news will spread to all six palaces,
don't tell me that you're the only one who didn't know.
Wei Guang,
I won't let you die.
You still haven't married me yet.
If you can hear me, then please keep enduring. For you,
Ningzhi will do anything.
Bring Wei Guang out here!
Who dares?!
Wei Guang is in the side hall.
Your Highness.
Ningzhi, deliver my words.
Your Majesty, please allow me to disobey you.
I only want Wei Guang to quickly wake up.
Everybody, come with me!
Wei Guang has been dizzy and unawake,
he lost too much blood which is one thing.
The real crux is that the congestion in his brain is accumulating.
Then, does is there still hope?
Young lady, don't worry.
Thank goodness the farmers came quick, Wei Guang does have hope.
Then in how long will he wake up?
The least is one or two days, the most are three to four.
I will now insert the needles.
Doctor Jiang, you are in such an old age,
plus you just got here from the mountain. With all that traveling, don't overwork yourself.
Don't rush, rest here for a bit.
Even though I'm old, I still have enough energy.
Doctor Jiang, you should go rest first.
It's not that I don't care about him,
but how could I let you be so tired?
I have already brought both of your grandsons to Yan Du.
I will do as I promised
and beg his majesty to make them governors. You should know what to do.
I will obey, Your Majesty.
Don't worry.
There is a medical saint here, Wei Guang will be fine.
We'll talk outside.
Goodbye, Your Highness.
Ningzhi, I heard about you long before.
I've heard that you are the best help for her majesty.
I always wanted to see you, now I have seen you today.
Right when I saw you, I felt close to you.
Indeed, you are diligent and smart. Later on, you should come serve me here at Qiu Yue hall.
I've been treating my servants very well. I would not overwork you.
We are good friends from now on.
Thank you, Noble Consort Fu.
You are smart. I like that.
His Majesty will host a ceremony in the garden tomorrow.
He will pray for the peace for the palace.
I hope those untrue rumors will be gone.
Everyone who has seen the abnormal will be there. Including you.
You need to tell everyone
that Fu Shigui was haunted by the abnormal,
so he killed Xiao Hua.
You saw six shadows coming out of him.
We will teach you what to say tomorrow sentence by sentence. Don't be afraid.
Just recite it.
If you do what she says,
Her Majesty will save Lord Wei.
But, if you play tricks,
not only you will die, so is Wei Guang.
You two can be together in hell.
Here, Ningzhi, I will teach you.
What are you saying? Noble Consort Fu and her brother are good people?
Did the Empress ask you to cover her lies?
You are lying! The whole palace knows that
the Noble Consort Fu looks nice but is actually evil. She is more terrible than the Empress.
Fu Shigui is also very evil and does whatever he wants.
You always say that.
I misunderstood Nole Consort Fu.
Now that I'm working for her. She is kind.
She also hired a doctor to treat Lord Wei.
I see.
You are doing this for Lord Wei, that's why you are covering lies for Noble Consort Fu.
I didn't.
Ningzhi, don't you remember what you said?
You said that even though we are maids,
but someone raised us to respect ourselves.
We shouldn't let others bully us. What are you doing now?
For fortune, you would tell lies for Noble Consort Fu?
You are disappointing me.
Young Mistress.
How could you say that?
We are working for other people, and we have to obey them.
Also, our Miss is just a maid. What could she do?
Xiao Hua and I are both poor.
But just because we are maids, we should be walked all over?
Even if we die, no one would care.
When I was humiliated,
I wanted to die.
It was you who stopped me and told me to live.
Do you know that I've been having nightmares every night?
I always dream about that night.
Xiao Hua died miserably. It's fine if you don't speak up for her,
but now you are defending Fu Shigui, so he can walk free.
Do you still have morals or not?
I believe that she must have her reasons. She is trying to save Lord Wei.
Go. I don't ever want to see you anymore.
Young Mistress.
Get the stuff in the casket shop in Jinfeng
How could I trouble our future Empress to be here herself?
Lord Yan, you have done a lot. Of course, I'm here to receive you.
I will serve you until the end of my days.
Those who have been disrespecting me all these years,
kneel. I will let you live.
Please.
Tingwei Prison
Noble Consort Fei, did the woman from the Yongde Palace make any moves?
Who move could she make? She is like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. She hides herself in the palace all the time
and wouldn't come out. It's natural.
If I were her, I wouldn't want to show my face as well.
Lord Yan, what's wrong?
Maybe this batter won't be over this quick.
The ceremony begins.
Report.
Your Majesty, Fu Shigui is caught.
Brother, you've suffered.
Why didn't you tell me where you went?
Your Majesty, he was shaking underneath the Huajin bridge when we found him.
Sister, even though I'm possessed by the abnormal,
I did kill Xiao Hua.
I should be punished after committing such crime.
Your Majesty, I didn't raise him right. I'm willing to receive punishment.
Not so fast. The innocent ones would not be afraid of rumors.
We don't know what's actually going on yet.
Everything will be clear after the investigation.
General Zhang, untie Fu Shigui first.
Your Highness, the scholars from every counties and district are writing long comments that
the Imperial Court handled this matter improperly.
Confucius does not speak of strange beings, God, power, and chaos.
Empress, this issue is trending more and more.
I agree with him.
I already issued a decree to keep this matter a secret
but now, everyone in the Imperial Court is aware of this.
I fear that someone doesn't want to lose
and wants to blow up this matter. The bigger and chaotic it is, she will feel safer.
Noble Consort Fu, if you and your brother are really innocent,
why are you trying to stop this investigation at all costs?
Why do you say this? Didn't you investigate too?
It took a month of efforts and there was no conclusion from the investigation.
On the contrary, I heard you saw strange beings and was scared out of your wits.
Just because of this, I want to keep investigating.
Or else, wasn't all of the past effort just useless?
Your Highness, before you start, there are two people you should meet.
This is the Empress' handmaid, Ye Ningzhi.
This is the handmaid that has been with the Empress' for seven years, Chen Xue.
What have you two heard or saw at Yong De palace?
Tell His Majesty now.
Your Majesty.
Her Highness knew that Noble Consort Li resented her and would take revenge.
Hence, she went earlier to Mount Ziwu to hire five Taoist priests
to protect her day and night.
But coincidentally,
the unfortunate and strange soul of Noble Consort Li was haunting under the banyan tree.
The entangled Fu Shigui was passing by and wanted to kill the palace maid, Xiao Hua.
Just at this time, five Taoist priests appeared
and caught Fu Shigui who was babbling nonsense.
Then what happened after?
After, Her Majesty started to talk with the Taoist priests and practice.
She wanted to chase out all of the spirits and curses within Fu Shigui.
That spirit...
blood curling scream is still very vivid.
From the left side, then from the right side,
One by one the spirits were hit out.
At this time, Her Majesty started to laugh.
She said, "Although the evil spirits are gone,
but the evil person is still present."
Ye Ningzhi, don't really think that using Noble Consort Fu to defeat me
she'll set you free and you'll be able to save Wei Guang. Stop dreaming!
Don't forget she and Wei Guang are evidence of guilt.
Your Majesty, there is no need to get so over-reactive.
It doesn't matter whether Ningzhi is telling the truth or lying,
it doesn't hurt to hear it.
That night, Xiao Hua pulled through.
The Imperial Physician said that she can be saved.
But Her Majesty ordered people to go choke her to death!
She burned the corpse to get rid of the evidence
to pin the blame on Fu Shigui!
- What is happening? - What is she talking about?
Fu Shigui was still bewildered.
Then at this time, Her Majesty found Noble Consort Fu,
and told her to say she had a strange illness and had to leave the palace.
If not, Her Highness will kill her by slow torture of mutilation.
She will also announce this to everyone in the kingdom and let Noble Consort Fu be ashamed to see anyone.
Was there actually such a thing?
Emperor, I originally didn't want to bring this up,
but in order to prove my innocence, I had no choice!
It's not just me that's clear about this...
Lang Kun, Chen Xue, and General Li are all witnesses.
Ye Ningzhi!
All the good clothes and the jewelry,
the mother of the state, a leader among all.
So it was just all a dream...
But,
I won't just leave like this!
Even if I do leave, I will leave vigorously.
A hundred years later, how will the future generation appraise this?
And see... which side they will stand on!
What are you going to do?
Noble Consort Fu, don't be afraid.
I've only prepared some explosives in Yongde Palace.
By then, who cares if all the precious stones are burned.
Stop the Empress now.
Your Highness, why bother?
You're just a dog that I raised by my side, that's all!
What right do you have to yell in front of me? Get out of my way!
Your Highness.
The objections you raised against Ye Ningzhi could have been rebutted.
Why would you go that far?
Anyway, whatever I say none of you will believe.
Why would I be here to embarrass myself and be conspicuous?
I am Eunuch Gao, I was murdered by Her Majesty!
Go away, go away!
Go away!
Let go of me!
Don't come here!
Save me! Leave me alone!
Go away!
Don't come near me.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
It's me!
Your Majesty.
I'm here.
Emperor and Empress.
Was the story I just told enchanting?
But even if it's just a maid like me, it'd be hard to come up with such a ridiculous story.
It was all totally for Yan Kuan, Lord Yan.
What are you looking at me for? Mad that I stole your spotlight?
What are you all looking at me for? Lacking in self confidence?
Ye Ningzhi, what kind of berserk is this?
Lord Yan, when the blessing ceremony has ended, please take Ye Ningzhi away for exorcism.
Take her away!
Whoever dares to take her means that they are against me.
If you want to take her, then I dare you to take me first!
Emperor and Empress, what I said earlier was indeed a story.
But I'm saying now is indeed the reality!
What moaning spirits and strange illusions? What red-faced consort?
What four-legged eunuch and vigorous General Shi Da? These all are fake!
There is only one thing that is true.
It's him! He really killed Xu Xiao Hua and fooled everyone.
You're full of nonsense!
General Li...
Do you still remember this pill?
This pill and the one you stepped on at the coffin storage are different.
Wei Guang warned me, all important evidence needs a fake copy.
So, before you started chasing me,
I had already hid the real pill and teacher's post under the altar.
This one... is the real one.
