[Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty]
[Episode 19]
You seem to be in a good mood.
You said Xiao Chun was a friend.
Your friend burnt herself to death,
and now you are playing strings.
Aren't you feeling sad
for her death?
Xiao Chun deserved it
after the filth she did.
Why should I feel sad?
I rather admire you.
What a sly trick you played.
You dared risk life to rescue someone from the royal dungeons,
without a single trace left.
I really admire you.
However, it is treachery.
No one in the world can be lucky forever.
Be careful.
Me? Or you?
You framed me with those embroidered shoes,
and Xiao Chun with the fake pregnancy.
Let alone all the slings and arrows in between.
All the cruelties.
Do you really think that I don't know
who is behind?
Sister,
we are blood sisters.
How can I do any harm to you?
Tolerant as I am,
it' s not that much,
especially when it is you.
I'd suggest you try not to touch my bottom line.
Although I don't know what you are after,
as long as I am here,
you will get nothing.
By the way,
I forgot to tell you that
I will not be around after the marriage
and there is no reason
for you to stay here anymore.
I've asked Consort De's permission
for you to leave in a few days
that you can go back to your family.
Well done, Xiao Wei.
How dare you fight back
and cut off my way out?
Father,
the money for rescues in the Yellow River flood
has been dispatched to the counties.
I have sent supervisors.
The money will certainly be used as intended this time.
Here is a list
of related personnel.
Please review it.
Put it there
and I will take a look later.
Father, you seem tired.
Are you feeling all right?
Father,
Let me call in the imperial doctor now.
No need.
Nothing serious.
I didn't sleep well last night
and that's why I am a little off color now.
It's nothing serious.
Maybe you have worried a lot
about what has recently happened in the court.
I've recently been
dreaming of Empress Ren Xiao every day.
She was the love of my life.
The more I met her in my dreams,
the guiltier I feel.
I even want to avoid her.
Before she died,
I promised her to
guide Yin Reng myself
for him to be benevolent and do good.
Who has ever imagined
he could have brought himself such a scandal.
Ridiculous.
Father,
it has happened.
Don't blame yourself too much.
Your health matters.
I have some good herbal tea for calming the nerves.
I'll send some to you later.
What troubles Father most is his unwillingness to reconcile and the humiliation.
He doesn't want to accept that Crown Prince's mistakes...
were led by himself.
The only way to solve the problem is to forgive.
Only if he forgives Crown Prince, can he forgive himself.
You are really composed.
You said that I thought myself clever when playing tricks.
When will you do something?
The Prince Thirteen has managed
to rescue a condemned prisoner from the dungeon.
You can imagine what he is capable of.
It is life or death when it comes to the crown.
If you do nothing now,
I'm afraid they will not be eradicated
even when Crown Prince is dethroned.
If the time comes
when they become beloved and supported,
you will never
beat them.
I have my plans.
That's good.
Then why haven't you done anything?
You used to be
tough on the Prince Thirteen.
Is it because of Ming Wei?
Prince Fourteen.
How much are you
going to spare your rivals because of her?
Are you going to
ignore the bigger picture because of her?
Prince Fourteen,
wake up.
She will never appreciate your kindness.
You are destined to go separate ways.
When the crown is set,
she will only laugh when you cry.
Prince Fourteen,
a man should do what he is supposed to do.
As it's what a man is supposed to do,
you should back off.
As I said,
I have plans.
You'd better deliver.
Brother Fourteen,
Consort De is in the side chamber.
You can go there directly.
I'm not here for Mother,
but for you.
I have nothing to say to you.
I know you don't like me,
but I have a few words.
It's complicated here.
You were lucky
to rescue Xiao Chun
with the help of Yin Xiang.
Promise me
you won't put yourself in danger.
Protect yourself.
Otherwise
you will get hurt.
Both you and Ming Hui
have said the same thing.
She told me
that I would not be lucky forever
and I should be careful.
You are now telling me
that I was lucky
and I will hurt myself.
What a coincidence.
Ming Hui was right in one thing.
It's life or death in the court.
It will get
even worse.
So I hope you won't get involved anymore.
Learn to be wise and stay safe.
Aren't you those who mess things up
every time?
How can I stay safe?
Brother Fourteen.
I don't know what you are saying or implying,
but I understand
that you have ambitions.
I respect your choice.
I have my principles.
Even if it means danger,
I will protect the person I love.
Even if it means death?
Even if it means death.
Why do you stand against me
every time?
We choose the way we live.
If you excuse me.
What should I do with you?
The fight is getting worse in the court.
Crown Prince has collapsed.
He must be under great pressure now.
But he is still concerned about my feelings,
and tried to make me happy yesterday.
He must be very tired.
You are awake.
I can't fall asleep.
So I'm joining you watching the rain.
I am wondering how Xiao Chun is doing now.
A rich girl is now
all alone out there.
Can she take good care of herself?
Considering what she has been through,
she should have the courage to face what happens next.
We have to believe in her.
It's a big world,
and she will certainly live a better life.
How did it end up here?
Where did it come from?
Your Majesty,
I found it in Crown Prince's bedroom
when I was cleaning the Eastern Palace.
Crown Prince?
Do you recognize the handwriting?
I...
I don't.
But I do.
Yin Xiang.
This is Yin Xiang's handwriting.
What a son of mine!
He used such a mean witchcraft on Crown Prince.
Your Majesty,
we have only one note
and we can't tell
the truth now.
Go
and bring the unfilial son Yin Xiang here.
Yes.
Open the door.
Who's that?
It's still early.
Eunuch Li,
what bringt you here?
His Majesty asks me
to take Prince Thirteen.
What?
Prince Thirteen,
Eunuch Li has come with His Majesty's word
to take you with him.
What happened?
Don't worry.
Wait for me at home.
I'll be right back.
Where are we going?
His Majesty orders
to take you to the Imperial Clan Court.
If that's the case,
I need an accusation.
This is His Majesty's order.
Bring me to Father.
I'll talk to him.
It's not the time now.
Prince Thirteen,
this way.
How is Yin Xiang now?
I'm asking you.
What happened to Yin Xiang?
Something must have happened.
Tell me.
This matter has gone out of your control.
It's a trick by you and Prince Eight,
isn't it?
Where have you taken Yin Xiang?
Why did you take him?
I won't leave
until you tell me everything.
You do know
that I'd die for Yin Xiang.
He is now in the Imperial Clan Court...
for using mean witchcraft on Crown Prince.
Even if you risk your life,
you can't save him.
Using mean witchcraft on Crown Prince?
How can you use the matter of Crown Prince and Xiao Chun?
It is what we do in the court.
Will he come back alive?
That depends on Father.
Prince Four,
it's all set.
What are you doing here?
Bro Four,
are you going to visit Yin Xiang at the Clan Court?
Go home.
I'll handle it.
Bro Four,
please take me with you.
You are not supposed to be there.
I'm married to Yin Xiang,
and our lives are tied together.
Even if the most dangerous things ahead,
I'm going to visit him.
Bro Four,
I know the days are numbered when I can see him again.
Please take me.
OK.
Thank you.
I bring the meal to you
on order from Prince Four.
Prince Four has a message.
You can rest assured
that he will do everything to make sure your safety.
How negligent Brother Four was.
He knows that I hate peas.
He didn't warn you about it.
He was probably distracted by your matter
and forgot it.
I'll remove it at once.
I lied.
An ordinary maid wouldn't be as calm as you are,
when they know they make mistakes.
Who sent you?
Yin Xiang.
Let her go.
Let me go.
OK.
Get her.
Don't let her get away.
It's alright.
It's alright,
Xiao Wei.
Take her out.
Yes.
You are injured.
You should have listened to Bro Four
and should not have come.
I must.
Or I would have no idea
about the danger you are in.
Do you think I am any safer
at home than I am here?
When you and Qi Xiang have a cooking fight,
I have to
taste all your dishes.
Even if I am not poisoned here,
I'm going to eat to death at home.
So you are saying
that you'd rather stay here
than go home?
Not exactly.
I really miss Qi Xiang's dishes.
Don't you miss my dishes?
How could I not?
My consort has unique cooking skills.
More importantly,
only I get to have the dishes.
Others just don't have this opportunity.
Don't worry about that.
You'll suffer when you are home.
I wish to have the fried rice in soy sauce you cook,
with a fried egg.
You used to say it is too simple.
But now I know
the simplest is what I miss most.
Yes.
It's good enough that we can have dinner together.
Promise me.
Make it for me when I go home.
OK?
I'll put some chopped green onion in it.
It's enough for you not to smash the egg.
You should remember
what you said.
You too.
It's time.
Go.
Bro Four,
look after her.
I will.
Are you OK, Xiao Wei?
I'm fine.
Bro Four,
tell me
that Yin Xiang will get through it.
Right?
You don't answer me.
Has Yin Xiang lost all hope to survive?
It's too early to say that yet.
The attempted assassination at the Clan Court
is a big concern.
Father will not turn a blind eye to it.
I can't promise you anything now,
but I am looking for ways
to bring Yin Xiang hope.
Even you are not sure about it.
Is there any chance for Yin Xiang?
Is this the same Xiao Wei I know?
You are always persistent,
never give up,
and never fear difficulties.
Why panic now?
Don't you always find hope
when it seems hopeless?
I can't lose him.
Is it his destiny?
Do not give up.
If you lose heart
and collapse,
who else can
still support Yin Xiang?
Can I make it?
No one but you
can make it.
Xiao Wei,
you have overcome every difficulty.
I believe you can
certainly help Yin Xiang
overcome this time.
OK.
Yin Xiang,
you will come out here
safe and sound.
Your Majesty,
A message from the Imperial Clan Court.
An assassin broke in and wanted to kill Prince Thirteen.
How is Yin Xiang?
Prince Four arrived in time to stop it
and Prince Thirteen wasn't harmed.
Yin Zhen went to the Clan Court?
The two princes are like blood brothers.
Although it is wrong to visit without permission,
it is
understandable.
Have they found out
who sent the assassin?
Before they did anything,
the assassin committed suicide.
No trace at all then.
Yin Zhen was right on time.
Your Majesty,
Prince Thirteen has just experience danger.
Is it time to call him in now
to show concern?
Not now.
Give my order
the Imperial Clan Court shall enhance security
and no one shall
be allowed to visit Prince Thirteen.
Yes.
You haven't had any food or sleep all night.
Do you think you can save Prince Thirteen by doing that?
I'm not hungry.
Fine.
It's better for you to fall.
If anything happens to Prince Thirteen,
Shun'er and I will take over.
Don't you have anything nice to say?
Prince Thirteen is a good soul and is blessed,
but you may not live to the day he comes back.
-I'll take it if you don't eat it. -Leave it there.
Taking it away is better than leaving it cold.
It tastes awful.
What are you writing?
This is a petition for Yin Xiang.
I'm going to give it to His Majesty myself.
I hope His Majesty will come around
after reading it.
But
your handwriting looks much like Prince Thirteen's.
What's going on out there?
Madam,
Prince Four has arrived at the Palace of Heavenly Purity
kneeling to beg for Prince Thirteen.
How is His Majesty's response?
Completely untouched.
We have no idea how long Prince Four has to kneel
or what to do
in order for His Majesty to come around.
If what Bro Four has done does not work,
I'm afraid His Majesty
would not even look at my petition.
Prince Thirteen is His Majesty's son after all,
His Majesty would not be cruel to him.
We will come up with ways.
Madam,
Ming Hui has come
and asked to see you.
Tell her I'm not so well
to receive her.
She has insisted on seeing you.
It's about Prince Thirteen.
Greetings, Madam.
No need of that.
Just say what you want to say.
I've heard that
Prince Thirteen is suspected to use mean witchcraft on Crown Prince,
and the rune and jade plate have been handed over to His Majesty,
which is claimed as handwriting of Prince Thirteen.
Yin Xiang would never do such evil.
You should know who did it.
Of course I know
Prince Thirteen has been framed.
Prince Four is the real target.
Now Crown Prince has been dethroned,
if Prince Thirteen has an accident,
Prince Four will lose all his support.
You don't need to say that.
Everyone knows it.
I know you are a clever girl.
But have you
ever asked
why there was a jade plate
with handwriting of Prince Thirteen on it?
Who do you think wrote it?
It's Prince Fourteen.
Prince Fourteen and Prince Thirteen
have been studying together since young.
It is a piece of cake for him
to imitate the handwriting.
Sister,
what you can do now
is to tell His Majesty
the truth in the court.
It's the only way to prove Prince Thirteen's innocence.
I thought you were a friend of Prince Eight and Fourteen.
Why do you tell me this?
You think I have some evil intentions?
Prince Fourteen is in love with you.
I am in love with him.
As long as Prince Thirteen lives,
you will stay married
and he will drop the idea.
If anything happens to Prince Thirteen
and you are widowed,
he will try everything to win your love.
And I will have no chance.
I will not let him have his way.
Don't you worry if I tell the truth,
His Majesty would punish Prince Fourteen?
If Prince Fourteen is sentenced to death,
will you still have any chance?
That's my concern, not yours.
What concerns you now
is how to save your husband.
Even if my handwriting is similar to yours,
I still can't save you.
I've heard you had been to Yin Xiang's house.
Prince Eight is really resourceful.
I only visited my younger sister,
to see how she is doing
when facing to lose her husband.
Have you any idea
what Prince Four is going to do?
My sister had no idea what to do
until I pointed out a way for her.
I told her
who framed Prince Thirteen.
Ming Hui,
why on earth did you do it?
I just told my sister
to tell His Majesty the truth.
You should know
what would happen
if Xiao Wei meets Father.
Isn't it what Prince Eight wants the most?
If Prince Thirteen is gone,
Prince Four will
lose the most powerful support.
Even Xiao Wei is involved.
The die will be cast.
Ming Hui,
what does that mean?
You have the ambition for the crown,
and so you must know what His Majesty thinks.
Prince Eight,
do you think His Majesty really
believe that Prince Thirteen did it?
So Father will not
involve more people in it.
What His Majesty wants least is your brothers fighting each other.
Prince Thirteen was almost assassinated the other day.
His Majesty did nothing about it.
It means only one thing,
His Majesty doesn't want it exposed,
or more princes involved,
it may end up with a mess in the court.
Therefore Father would
rather sacrifice Yin Xiang
than get more people involved.
This is what Prince Eight intended.
How thorough you think.
I admire you.
I have only pushed it a little
to help you fulfill it sooner.
You want Xiao Wei to expose everything and embarrass His Majesty.
Xiao Wei is eager to save her husband
and will certainly tell the truth in the court.
But it goes right against His Majesty's will.
To stop your brothers fighting,
His Majesty will have to
punish Prince Thirtee as soon as possible
to end this matter.
Prince Eight,
if Prince Four
still stands on the side of Prince Thirteen and Xiao Wei,
will any of them end up well?
Ming Hui,
you have figured it all out.
I'm flattered.
I have only helped a little.
Don't you
care what happens to your sister Xiao Wei?
So far she would only lose her husband,
but she would lose her life if she did it.
Sacrifices are necessary
if we want to achieve something.
Prince Eight,
don't you think so?
Mean witchcraft on Crown Prince
and plot to harm his own brother,
what a son is this!
How could he have
done such a disloyal, unfilial and sinful thing?
Father,
Yin Xiang plotted against Crown Prince,
which God won't tolerate.
I believe Father will uphold justice
and purge evil from the court.
Yin'e,
you do know how serious it is.
Tell me
what is disloyalty.
Someone who is not devoted
and conspires against the state
is deemed disloyal.
Yin Tang,
what is being unfilial?
Someone who disobeys his father,
gives no regard to orders,
harms his brothers,
and lets Father down
is deemed unfilial.
Yin Si,
you should know well
what is being sinful.
It's my fault
not having taught Yin Xiang well.
He has done such evil.
It is me being sinful.
Please forgive me, Father.
It's good that you know it.
Yin Xiang has made such a huge mistake.
All of you are in the wrong.
Please calm down, Father.
Yin Xiang is indeed not to be spared for it.
But I don't think it should be made known to all.
It concerns reputation of the royal family.
I hope Father will convict him in private
in order to warn all princes
that we should behave carefully
and should not do harm to each other.
Conduct yourselves.
Reflect on yourselves.
Take it as a warning.
In future,
if any of you harm other brothers
or betray the country,
I will not spare you.
Yes, Father.
Bro Four,
thank you.
Never mind.
I just want to do something for Yin Xiang
and to save him.
You have done enough for him.
Let me do the rest.
Xiao Wei,
don't be fool.
Xiao Wei,
go home.
Bro Four,
I've thought about everything carefully.
I am going to save him now.
It's not something you can handle.
I once wanted to escape from all troubles.
But since I married with Yin Xiang,
as a consort,
I have to face it all.
Thank you for your caring for so long.
Please, in future,
take care of Yin Xiang.
Xiao Wei.
Your Majesty.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
If you have come to beg mercy for Yin Xiang,
it'll be unnecessary.
Your Majesty,
I'm here not for Yin Xiang,
because he is innocent.
How dare you?
We have evidence of his crime.
Do you know the consequence of saying that?
I do know.
But someone imitated Yin Xiang's handwriting
and framed Yin Xiang with it.
I know better than anyone
who was behind all this.
Who was behind it?
Who is it then?
Your Majesty,
it isn't someone else
but me,
Yalaerta Ming Wei.
You?
Yes, it's me.
What evidence do you have?
I can write the rune and the plate right here right now.
Bring her brush and ink.
Brush and ink.
It is the handwriting indeed.
Why did you imitate Yin Xiang's handwriting
to play witchcraft on Crown Prince?
Because of hatred.
Your Majesty should know...
since I married Yin Xiang,
I have never disobeyed him
and we have lived in harmony.
But Crown Prince asked Yin Xiang
to take concubines many times.
At first,
Yin Xiang was unwilling.
But later
he was persuaded.
That's why I hate
Crown Prince for encouraging him
and hate Yin Xiang more for changing his mind.
I don't want to
share my husband.
So I played witchcraft on Crown Prince.
I imitated Yin Xiang's handwriting,
so he would be inexcusable.
Why do you tell the truth now?
Because I hadn't thought it would end up like this.
Now,
I regret it.
I will take all the consequences.
I'm at Your Majesty's disposal.
Leave us.
All princes wait outside.
About this matter,
don't make any comment.
-Yes. -Yes.
