"Beauty in the Closet" "Episode 6"
There's another report...
...saying that the riot in Huainan...
...was Wu Huan's neglect of duty...
...and I should punish him to reassure the public.
The riot is obviously instigated by someone.
I'm sure Your Majesty knows that...
...the officials who reported this...
...are friends with Officer Wang Shou Cheng.
This better has nothing to do with that bastard...
...or it would serve him right.
When Deputy Head Hua is back to the palace,
the truth will be revealed.
Please calm down, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, should I call the Imperial Physician...
No. If you call upon the Imperial Physician now,
the Empress Dowager will be alarmed.
It will only make things complicated.
Your Majesty.
Deputy Head Hua is back.
-Wu Huan. -Your Majesty.
What's the matter?
It was my fault.
I did not manage to bring the mastermind of the riot back.
He was robbed and killed on our way back.
There were too many of them.
Only two men and I survived.
All the officers were killed.
How dare they kill officers and prisoner.
Do you know who did this?
They were dressed in casual...
...but they did not hide their identity as Divination Army.
I found this on one of the robbers.
It must be him.
It was Wang Shou Cheng.
The masterminds Deputy Head Hua brought back...
...were only officers in Huainan.
They're Wang Shou Cheng's subordinates.
He left the badge there.
He's looking for trouble, isn't he?
No.
He wants me to know about it.
He wants to warn me.
Wang Shou Cheng will definitely team up with others...
...to demand Your Majesty to handle...
...the riot impartially.
To handle the riot impartially?
I should punish the bastard instead.
I will definitely not give in to him.
I will save your life.
I believe in you, Your Majesty.
It's not that you won't,
but you can't.
Why not?
If you defend for me,
Wang Shou Cheng and the other will blame Your Majesty...
...for ignoring public resentment and being unjust.
Your dignity will be lost.
I am the King.
I am the emperor.
What I said is the law,
the dignity.
I will defend you...
...and protect you....
...on imperial court tomorrow.
I will see what can Wang Shou Cheng do to me.
Your Majesty.
Once you lost the trust and support from public,
you wouldn't make things right even if you wish to.
Do you want your efforts all these years...
...to go to waste just because of me?
I wouldn't let you...
...even if you want to.
Because Your Majesty is not the only one who's putting up with an insult.
I am, too.
Please punish me.
By the mandate of heaven, the emperor hereby decrees...
...that Hua Wu Huan...
...was ordered to carry out disaster relief in Huainan.
He neglected his duty...
...and caused public resentment.
He did not fulfill his responsibility.
His position of Huainan Governor will be removed with immediate effect.
He is sentenced to 40 lashes.
He can only stay in the palace from now on...
...and is not allowed to be involved in any foreign affairs.
That is all.
Your idea was good...
...by ordering the men we sent...
...to bring Divination Army's badge.
Li Han knows what do him good.
He punished Hua Wu Huan before I reminding him.
Have you thought about this?
You wanted to get rid of Hua Wu Huan...
...with Li Han's power.
But he's only sentenced to a flogging.
He's not dead.
It's a shame.
But he won't be involved in foreign affair anymore.
He can only stay in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He couldn't lay a finger on me...
...no matter how powerful he is.
Come to think of it.
We have to dig the roots up while weeding.
You've let Hua Wu Huan go once.
I don't think we should let him go...
...with just a few lashes this time.
Of course I want him to be dead.
Even if he's not dead after the flogging,
he would be half alive.
It would be inhuman if I suggest...
...to give him a death sentence now.
What's more,
Li Han wouldn't allow that.
What I do...
...is to warn Li Han.
Don't take a tiger who's not roaring...
...as a sick cat.
I don't have to be enemy with Li Han anymore.
Father.
Have you think about this?
Why did His Majesty...
...flog Hua Wu Huan in public?
Of course I know.
I'm sure he wants to appease me.
No.
His Majesty wants to save Hua Wu Huan.
You mean...
...Li Han deceived us by flogging him.
He isn't really fear of me.
Smart guys know the ins and outs.
You should have known better.
Prince Bo Ling's family will never bow to eunuch.
You committed the most serious crimes...
...and the whole family should be sentenced to death.
Shameless eunuch.
Prince Bo Ling don't bow to eunuch.
You're his only son.
I'll spare your life.
Bring Prince Bo Ling's son back to the palace and make him a eunuch.
No.
I can't die.
Li Yu Xi is taking imperial examinations today.
You should've seen him last night...
...instead of writing poems here.
I've told you.
I'm not going to see him...
...before the imperial examinations.
And...
...both of us are like the poem.
Even if we are distant...
...and not being together,
I believe our hearts are connected.
I also believe...
...that even if I don't go,
he will understand.
I'm envious of you.
You can understand each other...
...and express your love with poems.
I can't do that.
I can only hide on the ceiling beams of The Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Watching him cluelessly...
...because I don't know how can I make him happy.
We are sisters...
...but our fates are so much different.
Qing Feng.
Because you're a weasel but not a fox.
-Cui Huang. -You fell in love with Li Han...
...and you have a crush with Li Yu Xi.
Qing Feng said that...
...when she completed the mission,
I can be together with Yu Xi.
Don't listen to her.
You're the right person to seduce the King.
Seduce His Majesty?
But Qing Feng said...
...that seducing His Majesty is to sleep with him.
I've fallen in love with Yu Xi.
I can't be in love with someone else.
His Majesty said that...
...he will not force me.
What?
You're disappointing me.
You forgot about our mission...
...because of a man.
You can fall in love.
But you can only love one man.
The emperor.
Stop yelling at Fei Luan.
I promised her...
...that I will take the responsibility...
...to protect the Fox Tribe.
She can just pursue her happiness.
Do you think you manage to seduce the emperor with your look?
Seducing a man...
...is not about the look.
Sometimes it depends on the feeling.
You know?
Are you saying that the emperor has feeling for you?
Of course.
Alright.
I''ll see...
...how the emperor has feeling for you.
I think I'll have to do it on my own.
You come and leave as you wish.
Do you think this place belongs to you?
If you do this again,
I'll tell His Majesty to behead you.
His injury from the flogging is not healing.
The wound starts to fester.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
He didn't allow me to tell Your Majesty.
His injury got worse and went unconscious.
I was too afraid...
...so I had to tell Your Majesty.
Bastard.
If anything happens to Deputy Head Hua,
you'll be responsible for it.
Your Majesty.
A little impatience will spoil great plans.
I've lost my patience again?
Your Majesty.
Acting on impulse is impatience.
Even though Wang Shou Cheng knows that Your Majesty has give in,
but he did not admit defeat.
He's planning on something.
Your Majesty shouldn't be impulsive at this moment.
Do you want your efforts all these years...
...to go to waste just because of me?
I wouldn't let you...
...even if you want to.
Because Your Majesty is not the only one who's putting up with an insult.
I am, too.
I wish Your Majesty...
...to get rid of disloyal officers and forming the law soon.
With your help,
I'm sure I can do that.
I don't want to lose my best friend...
...because I'm the emperor.
What are you doing here?
Your Majesty.
I feel unhappy...
...so I talk to the fish.
Your Majesty.
Do you hate and look down on me like everyone else?
Why do you ask that?
We had the same experience.
Our mother are humble.
We were looked down and bullied by others when we were young.
I thought I was getting close with Your Majesty.
It appears that I have thought too highly of myself.
You're the powerful emperor...
...while...
...I'm still Huang Qing Feng who's looked down by others.
Do you think being an emperor is powerful?
Of course.
Every one respects and fears of you.
You can do whatever you want.
Nobody dares to comment anything.
You are the emperor.
Come to think of it.
Besides the God,
you're the most powerful person.
Is that so?
My best friend...
...is lying on the bed...
...unconsciously...
...and is dying.
I was standing at the door...
...but I can't even go inside to visit him.
Why?
The door is broken?
I ordered...
...to flog him.
You feel guilty...
...and dare not to visit him.
Someone's using him...
...to threaten...
...and force me to obey him.
Who'd do such thing?
Why didn't you behead him?
Idiot. If I can do that,
why did I order to flog him?
Why didn't I open the door?
Why am I talking nonsense with you?
Do you think an emperor is invincible?
I'm sorry.
I've lost control.
It's okay.
You can keep yelling at me.
Yell everything unhappy out of your heart.
I have thick skin to endure it.
This has nothing to do with you.
Yelling at you is useless.
I know it has nothing to do with me.
But if you keep everything in your heart,
you'll be suffering.
Do you think I can't hang in there...
...because of this?
Of course no.
I dare not to look down on you...
...even if given the courage.
You're the emperor.
I think...
...it's bad for you to keep everything in your heart.
Come with me.
What are you doing?
Lie down.
You...
What are you doing? Stop it.
Huang Qing Feng.
I told you to stop it.
Are you disobeying me?
What are you doing?
Okay.
I'm not disobeying you.
Obeying you...
...won't do you good.
I feel itchy.
It's comfortable.
Your Majesty, do you want to try?
It's really comfortable.
I'm not lying.
Your Majesty.
Imagine we're not at the Imperial Garden.
But...
...a grassland.
What happened?
-It's painful. -You foot.
I'll have a look at it.
Be careful.
Here.
Dislocation.
You're here, Fei Luan.
When I was young,
I always had dislocation after got hit by others.
My mother treated it like this.
Your Majesty.
What's the matter?
I don't like to see Your Majesty frowns.
I like to see Your Majesty smiles.
You look good when you smile.
Your Majesty.
What again?
I think I couldn't walk.
Your Majesty.
You're afraid.
Don't forget about your mission.
You must kill the bastard emperor for the Fox Tribe.
If you're not ready,
I will not force you.
I'll order someone to escort you back.
He's not protected by the dragon force now.
It's easy to kill him.
This is such a good chance.
What am I waiting for?
What is it?
I had a nightmare.
It was scary.
Don't be scared.
I'm here.
Stop right there.
You had a chance to kill the bastard emperor.
Why didn't you kill him?
It's my business.
You don't have to meddle in.
You're in love with him so you couldn't kill him, aren't you?
If he's a good emperor who loves his people,
why can't I love him?
Why must I kill him?
Because you promised Elder Hui Er...
...to avenge him and his family who's died.
Next time.
I will kill him next time.
I'm sure...
...you wouldn't be able to do that.
You wouldn't be able to kill Li Han.
Since you say that,
I think I shouldn't kill him.
I'll do as you said.
I won't kill him.
I'll change him with my love.
I want him to be kind to the Fox Tribe.
Even if I break my promise to Elder Hui Er,
I've accomplished my mission.
You've helped me to solve a big problem.
Thank you.
You're an ignorance weasel.
I'll tell you the truth.
You fell in love with him because of Charm Fruit.
Li Han only loves Fei Luan.
You can't make your own decision on this.
You're going to say she's a fox and I'm a weasel.
I'm not her match.
I'm sick of this.
Say something else, can you?
I've verified about the power of Charm Fruit mentioned in...
...the Fox Tribe Book in Mount Li.
Charm Fruit is divided into Yin and Yang.
Yin is sweet and Yang is sour.
Fei Luan ate the sweet part.
She will definitely be charming...
...and wins the heart of the emperor.
You ate the sour part.
You will only fell in love with the emperor uncontrollably.
You're lying.
You don't worth my time to lie to you.
Think about it.
Did you fall in love with Li Han...
...after he had enthroned...
...and activated the Charm Fruit.
How did Li Han treat you...
...whenever he sees Fei Luan?
I don't believe it.
I fall in love with a man...
...I was about to kill.
He will never love me...
...but Qing Feng.
So...
If Fei Luan's willing to seduce His Majesty,
she can kill him easily...
...and save the Fox Tribe.
It won't make any difference...
...whether I am exist or not.
You're right.
You did so many things...
...but everything will be the same in the end.
You're useless.
Why did I have such bad luck?
Why the sweet part wasn't eaten by me?
What are you laughing?
Heaven will always leave a door open.
God still loves me.
Fei Luan has fallen in love with Li Yu Xi.
With her stubbornness,
she will never betray Li Yu Xi...
...and seduce His Majesty.
So the mission to protect the Fox Tribe...
...is still mine.
I will try my best...
...to make Li Han loves me.
As if I ate the sweet fruit.
The person who can seduce Li Han...
...and makes him do what she wants...
...is Fei Luan.
Do you think she will do what you want?
She must do that for the Fox Tribe.
She's former head of tribe's daughter.
The descendant of nine-tailed fox.
Her status is a lot higher than you.
What's more,
she's as pure as a rabbit.
If you ever force her or hurt her,
I won't let you go.
Is the safety of the Fox Tribe in Mount Li important...
...or her little sacrifice important?
No matter what you say,
as long as she does not agree,
you can't force her.
The mission to protect the Fox Tribe...
...is still mine.
To kill Li Han...
...or to make him touch,
is my decision to make.
Stand aside.
Stop gloating, Huang Qing Feng.
From the moment you ate Char Fruit,
it's destined that...
...Li Han will only love Fei Luan.
Just accept it.
I won't.
If he likes Qing Feng,
why was I the one who spent the night with him?
I'm tired.
I'm going back to have a proper sleep.
And wait for His Majesty's reward.
You will regret it.
It's not enough. One more.
The more the better.
Is it too much?
Here comes His Majesty.
Welcome, Your Majesty.
Qing Feng.
Why do you dress like this today?
Do I look good?
I like your usual dress.
It's simple and plain.
How's your foot?
It's much better.
Fu Quan.
These are aromatic beads.
They were picked by His Majesty personally.
I've been serving His Majesty for years.
This is the first time His Majesty...
...be kind to his consort.
These were picked by Your Majesty personally?
It's not aromatic.
I think the smell...
...suits you.
Come here.
The smell is light.
It makes people feel good.
I like it very much.
You can use these aromatic beads...
...before you go to shower.
Sister Cui Huang.
Come here.
Don't pull. It hurts.
Come here.
What are you doing?
I promised Qing Feng.
-Let's go. -Sister Cui Huang.
Stop talking.
Your Majesty.
Guards.
Beat her for 20 slashes.
Yes.
Beat who, Your Majesty?
Beat her.
Me?
Why?
Your Majesty,
why beat Sister Cui Huang?
You call her sister?
How dare you, a dancer...
...to pull and yell at my consort?
Chase her away from the palace after beating.
No, Your Majesty.
Don't beat Sister Cui Huang.
Your Majesty.
Chase her away from the palace.
Your Majesty.
Why don't leave her in Zi Lan Palace...
...to be my maid?
What? Be your maid?
Be our maid.
-You... -If you were chase away,
it won't be easy for you to move around in the palace in the future.
Your Majesty. Reward her to Qing Feng and I.
Your Majesty.
This woman does not know about the rules in the palace.
She is rude.
We shouldn't let her stay.
I think so, too.
It's better to chase her away.
Your Majesty.
What do you think, Fei Luan?
I...
I'll follow Qing Feng's decision.
Her decision is my decision.
Okay.
You may stay.
Give me the fox fur back.
Don't you know that fox is the most intelligent animal?
How dare you.
Nobody taught you rules in the palace?
Taught me the rules?
I shall see..
...are you capable of doing that.
Why is he not affected by my Charm Skill?
As the Deputy Head of Home Affairs,
I didn't know there's a lady who has powerful Kung Fu like you.
Tell me.
What are you from?
I'm from the nation of Zhe Dong,
a maid in Zi Lan Palace.
I was being rude.
Please forgive me.
Since you are from foreign state,
it's understandable for you not knowing the rules.
I will let you go this time.
From now on,
no matter where you are,
you must follow the rules.
Remember.
I will know everything you do.
You should take your medicine now, my lady.
I've tried all kinds of medicine.
But it's not working.
Put it down first.
Yes.
Greetings to Consort Qiu.
The weather turned cold, my lady.
You must take care of yourself.
You found this fox fur yourself?
I asked from a hunter.
This fox fur...
...reminds me of the time when late emperor was still alive.
Although he mistakenly believed slanderous talk...
...and feel guilty to your family,
but he was good to me.
This is really warm.
Wu Huan.
Thank you...
...for being nice to me.
By the way.
You have just recovered.
You don't have to visit me three times daily.
Take care of yourself.
Thank you for your concern, my lady.
My life belongs to you.
I would not die without your approval.
The pasts are too painful to recall.
You were well educated...
...when you were young.
Your swordsmanship was excellent and you were well known.
Your father, Prince Bo Ling has been framed.
Your whole family was sentenced to death.
Late emperor wanted to exempt you from the punishment.
It was Wang Shou Cheng who carried out jobbery...
...and put you in trouble.
Father, here I come.
I will be a humiliation even if I'm alive.
Why don't you let me die...
...to keep my dignity?
Your dignity does not lie within your body.
It's in your mind.
If your mindset is strong enough,
nobody can take it from you.
You're the son of King Hou.
You're well educated and have excellent swordsmanship.
Your talent and willpower...
...are what make people respect you.
My lady, you said that...
...the pasts are too painful to recall.
Luckily...
...I met you.
Luckily you were there...
...so I managed to pick up the dignity to stay alive.
If it weren't you,
Hua Wu Huan would not exist today.
It appears that everything Hua Wu Huan did...
...was for Consort Qiu.
Monster.
I saw a monster.
Consort Qiu.
The fox fur flew itself?
Yes. It flew itself.
Don't worry.
I will put more guards here.
You won't be frightened again.
I don't know where were you born.
I can only bury you here.
Consider it a funeral for you.
I hope you may escape from misery life.
Rest in peace.
It's you.
Who exactly are you?
How dare you frightened Consort Qiu?
What are you up to?
What are you talking about? I don't understand.
You were caught red handed.
Stop playing tricks.
So what if I did it?
So what if I didn't?
So what?
If Consort Li was traumatised,
I want you to pay with your life.
Traumatised?
She was just frightened.
What's the big deal?
Bastard.
Do you know...
...the fright and pain...
...the foxes feel when their fur...
...were peeled off...
...were thousand times more serious than Consort Li's?
Do you only sympathise those foxes...
...that were killed?
Every creature has spirit.
People kill innocent lives...
...for their own good.
Don't you think they deserve our sympathy?
I'm atoning for human's crime.
I'm also atoning for your crime.
Alright.
I won't blame you...
...for what happened today.
I'm warning you.
If you ever disturb Consort Li again,
I will never let you go.
I won't.
By the way.
There are many ways to keep warm.
You don't have to kill foxes.
Please remember this.
Time spent with you...
...is always short.
You have completed the imperial examinations.
I will look for you in bamboo grove.
I'll wait for you.
You're finally back, Hu Jie Yu.
It's late.
Hu Jie Yu.
Sister Quan.
You're here just in time, Yu Xi.
The blessing ceremony is a big occasion.
I'm shorthanded.
Why don't you come to the palace with me?
So you can get to know some officials in the palace.
It may help your career.
Everyone in the palace is invited to the ceremony?
I remember something.
While we were in bamboo grove hut,
you said a special friend visited you.
Is she from the palace?
She...
...is the dancer in the palace.
She's not the consort.
Really?
Are you sure she wasn't lying to you?
I'm just a poor scholar who lost my parents.
I have no power.
What's her purpose to lie to me?
You're right.
You keep complimenting her.
You said she is the purest girl you have ever seen.
Yes.
She has to risk her life to come out of the palace everytime we meet.
I feel guilty to her.
Thanks to you I have a chance to enter the palace this time.
She doesn't have to risk her life.
I'm happy.
Look, Your Majesty.
The water is clear.
Look at the tree.
It looks weird.
Your Majesty, Qing Feng.
You're finally here, Fei Luan.
Do you feel better?
I feel a lot better, thank you, Your Majesty.
All right.
You're unfair, Your Majesty.
You don't believe me when I told you she's unwell.
Don't interrupt.
Fei Luan.
You don't look well.
The flowers are blooming.
You should come out for a walk.
It's good for your health.
Let's go.
What happened, Qing Feng?
I sprained my foot.
It hurts.
I'll send you back.
No.
I feel comfortable like this.
My foot doesn't hurt anymore.
Send Lady Huang back.
Your Majesty.
You can't leave me alone.
I said I know if you're lying to me.
I hate you playing tricks.
Let's go, Fei Luan.
I've warned you.
Besides Fei Luan,
he won't love other girls.
You're embarrassing yourself...
...if you don't accept it.
It's true.
It serves you right.
What's so special with Hu Jie Yu?
You come to the palace personally to send this to her.
I heard Hu Jie Yu is the prettiest in the Imperial Harem.
Don't you want to have a look?
But I'd like to.
Go with me.
Aren't you here to see the flowers, Your Majesty?
Flowers are beautiful in Imperial Garden.
Why don't Your Majesty look at them?
The flowers are not as beautiful as you.
I prefer to look at you.
I can smell Yu Xi's scent.
Your Majesty.
I don't feel well.
I...
I'm dizzy.
What's the matter? I'll call the Imperial Physician.
No, Your Majesty.
I'll go back and rest.
Fei Luan.
You do look unwell.
-I'll go back with you. -Don't worry.
-I'll go with you. -No.
Your Majesty.
Hu Jie Yu.
Hu Jie Yu is feeling unwell.
I'll send her back.
It must be hard on you to hold the ceremony.
You should rest, too.
Fei Luan.
Get the Imperial Physician.
Yes.
