"Beauty in the Closet" "Episode 11"
Why am I here?
Oh, no!
What if His Majesty sees me like this?
Stupid Taoist.
I'm going to kill you if I see you again.
You're going to kill as soon as you wake up?
Who are you going to kill?
I'm going to kill you.
Stupid Taoist.
You leaked my location because of the money.
His Majesty knows I'm a demon.
I'm dead because of you.
You're so in love with His Majesty.
I gave you a chance to see him before you die.
You should thank me instead.
I'll kill you.
You...
What are you pointing at?
My look is back.
I still look beautiful.
I'm still alive.
It feels good.
What are you doing?
Is it hurt?
What do you think?
What do I think?
Do you think a dead man feels pain?
You're right.
I'm still alive.
And my look is back.
My beautiful face is back.
I look more beautiful than I was.
Are you happy?
You're happy.
But my kindness is being ignored.
I almost got killed.
I'm sorry.
Alright. I'm glad you're happy.
My mission is done here.
I'm leaving.
Come back.
Can't bear to leave me?
No.
I want to...
...thank you.
You owe me this.
I'll ask for it back from you.
Goodbye, little weasel.
Thank you, Taoist Yong.
Thank you.
Thank you, Taoist Yong.
Who are you thanking, Qing Feng?
Qing Feng.
Your Majesty.
How do you feel?
Do you feel unwell?
I feel much better.
I feel good when I see you.
You're silly.
Do you know how worried I was?
I know.
So I have to come back no matter what.
Alright. You're safe now.
Your Majesty, I miss you.
I miss you too.
Reporting to Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
We haven't found the demon that caught Lady Huang.
We've searched inside and outside the palace,
but we didn't find anything.
-You may leave. -Yes.
Your Majesty.
Are you still trying to catch the demon?
Don't worry.
I will definitely catch it.
It won't hurt you anymore.
It won't hurt me and Your Majesty.
How do you know that?
Because...
...I have convinced it to turn over a new leaf.
And I'm not the one who convinced him.
It's Your Majesty.
Can you stop looking at me like that, Your Majesty?
The demon didn't hurt me.
He even released me.
It means he's turned good.
He released you?
So it was him who left the note?
Yes, it's him.
That's why I said he's turned over a new leaf.
Your Majesty.
Be forgiving.
Please forgive him.
Don't pursue this matter any further.
Alright.
I know what you mean.
I'll let Officer Quan to handle this matter.
You...
...have some good rest.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
Oh, no.
I'm so beautiful.
Gosh!
What are you doing with the mirror?
Quan Zhen Ying has come to Zi Lan Palace following the demonic aura.
I don't know what demonic magic did she use.
Demonic magic?
Your Majesty told her to keep...
...the enchanted veil, didn't he?
As the Head Officer of the Ministry of Rites,
how can she use demonic magic?
She wants to win an honour.
Will she find out we are demons?
We can trick her by hiding our scents.
But her vital spirit hasn't restored yet.
She will surely revealed herself.
I'll stop her.
Cui Huang.
Please look after Qing Feng.
-Fei Luan. -Fei Luan.
I will be fine.
Both of you stay here.
I'll go check them out.
You're in trouble yourself.
Don't create more trouble.
Find a place and hide your scent.
Don't get caught.
Go.
What are you doing?
Stop it.
You will kill yourself.
You know a lot.
It appears that you're not an ordinary person.
I'll make you show your true colours.
I'll see if you're being possessed by a demon...
...or you're a demon yourself.
Stop it.
You will hurt yourself.
Fox demon, show your true self.
Fei Luan.
What are you doing, Zhen Ying?
Stop it.
Bring her in.
Who are you?
Why did you stop me?
Stop you?
Do you even know what are you doing?
How dare Quan Zhen Ying hurt Fei Luan.
I don't call myself Huang Qing Feng...
...if I don't take revenge on her.
Yu Xi.
I'm here.
Fei Luan.
You've finally come around.
What did you call me?
Fei Luan?
Fei Luan.
Wait here. I'll call the Imperial Physician.
Are you trying to alert His Majesty...
...and make him come here?
But she's injured.
Don't worry.
I know that Taoist.
He gave her a pill.
She will be fine.
I'll keep guard on the outside.
You sit here.
Explain to her...
...why did you call her Fei Luan.
Don't get in their way.
Actually...
You say first.
I'm sorry.
You've done nothing wrong.
I hurt you.
There's something I want to ask.
His Majesty said he couldn't win your heart.
Is it because...
...you gave your heart to me?
When we first met,
I was just a poor scholar.
But the person beside you...
...is the emperor.
Why don't you choose the emperor...
...but love me instead?
Why?
I don't understand.
To you,
the emperor is powerful.
But to me,
you're the same.
It doesn't matter...
...whether the person I love...
...is the emperor or a civilian.
It makes no difference.
His Majesty doesn't treat you well?
His Majesty treats me very well.
But I liked you first.
I can't love anyone else.
You're so silly.
Silly?
Maybe I am.
I was just following my mind.
Maybe you don't believe.
But I'm not lying to you.
Yu Xi.
It's true.
I understand.
I finally understand.
I'm sorry, Fei Luan.
I'm sorry.
Yu Xi.
Have you...
Have you forgiven me?
Yes.
Fei Luan.
I'm sorry.
I got you wrong.
I couldn't tell what's true.
I hurt you.
Let's not be apart anymore.
We won't be apart.
As long as I'm alive,
I won't let you go.
Yu Xi.
What?
Are you afraid you couldn't get your look back?
You again.
Why does a beautiful girl like you...
...practise demonic magic?
I guess it's because of fame and fortune.
Come and go like the wind.
I'm sure you're the Taoist who has...
...900 years of attainments.
Taoist Yong from Mount Zhong Nan.
You made me sound like an old man.
I'm younger than you.
But...
...I didn't expect you know me.
Everyone who practises Taoism...
...knows you, Taoist Yong.
You're a mysterious person.
I'm lucky to meet you today.
Your reputation precedes you.
But I'm curious.
Why do you have such high attainments...
...despite your age?
You know me well.
You've a crush on me?
I'm just impressed by your skills.
My skills? That's because...
...I have the talent.
The purpose you are here...
...is to tease me and make fun of me?
I'm telling the truth.
I have 900 years of attainments since I was born.
I only practised for 20 years.
I do have the talent, right?
I did not interfere you.
Why did you get in my way?
I was helping you.
If I didn't beat you,
you're still being possessed.
You'd look as ugly as a witch.
Actually it's easy for me to kill you.
Don't worry.
I don't care about you.
It's your own choice to be kind or evil.
You have to bear the consequence.
What happened to the demon?
Is Hu Jie Yu being possessed...
...or she's a demon herself?
Well.
Since I'm a Taoist,
I will definitely catch evil demon...
...if I encounter one.
So Hu Jie Yu is possessed by a demon?
You almost strangled her to death.
She's still lying on the bed.
You were merciless.
You wanted to kill her.
Who looks more like a demon?
You...
I was just trying to track down the assassinate by order.
What's wrong with that?
It has learned its lesson.
It won't harm others in the future.
Hold on.
You released it?
You're just using all the relations...
...to help you to achieve success.
Listen to me.
You will cause trouble if you're evil.
Cultivate your mind before you start practicing.
Stupid Taoist.
I've been longing to see you.
You're finally here.
How do you feel?
Do you feel better?
Much better.
I'm sorry to worry you.
I heard that the assassin is a demon.
All the consorts and I are frightened.
We didn't dare to leave our palace.
Did you manage to catch it?
The demon knows that he made a mistake.
He ran away after he released Huang Qing Feng.
This matter is over.
Everyone don't have to be worried about this matter anymore.
I'm glad to hear that.
I'm worried that...
...you're the emperor...
...who is of vital importance to people's life.
If anything happen to you,
the imperial court will be in chaos.
I'm sure Your Majesty remembers...
...everything that happened before you were enthroned.
The throne was empty.
Eunuch Liu Ke Ming manipulated sixth uncle...
...and attempted to do harm to me.
Thanks to the help of Empress Dowager...
...and Wang Shou Cheng's Divination Army.
I manage to live until now.
I'm glad you remember.
You didn't forget what you promised me,
did you?
You mean...
...to make brother's son, Cheng Mei...
...as the prince?
I'm glad you remember.
Here comes Consort Guo.
Greetings to Empress Dowager.
You may rise.
Come here.
Look.
This boy...
...looks more like his late father than Pu Er.
He must be the emperor in the future.
What do you think, Your Majesty?
Indeed so.
The situation has stabilized.
I think...
...since Your Majesty is stepping down from the throne,
might as well let Cheng Mei takes the throne.
It's better, isn't it?
Empress Dowager...
...wants me to give the throne to King Chen?
Yes.
Your Majesty...
...doesn't want to give up the throne?
Empress Dowager.
Cheng Mei is just three years old.
How can he be a King at such a young age?
Every dynasty has a young King.
If Cheng Mei takes the throne,
both of us will assist him.
Isn't it the same?
If the King is too young,
it will be easily affected by others.
Our imperial household could be affected.
Are you...
...afraid of affecting the imperial household...
...or you don't want to fulfill your promise...
...because you have a son now.
You got it wrong, Empress Dowager.
The throne concerns the whole country.
It requires serious consideration.
I think...
...you have selfish motives.
Please forgive me...
...for not being able to make such a big decision easily.
Please be perceptive, Empress Dowager.
I've never promised...
...to give the throne to King Chen.
If Empress Dowager insists to do so,
Empress Dowager...
...will be blamed for...
...interfering the politics.
So I will not make my decision easily.
At the same time,
I think about the interests of Empress Dowager.
I don't want to put you in trouble.
I've matters to attend to.
I won't disturb Empress Dowager and sister-in-law.
Empress Dowager wants Li Han...
...to give the throne to King Chen?
Is the news true?
Absolutely true.
Empress Dowager wants His Majesty to make King Chen as the prince.
But His Majesty has his own son now.
Empress Dowager is worried that he will go back on his word,
and give the throne to his own son.
So she's forcing His Majesty to step down from the throne.
If father can cooperate with Empress Dowager...
...to support King Chen,
do you think...
...Empress Dowager will agree?
Empress Dowager is insidious.
She supported Li Han as the emperor...
...in front of fellow officials.
But now...
...she's supporting King Chen to force the emperor to abdicate.
I'm sure she won't agree.
Going back on her words...
...could damage her reputation.
She doesn't have to force the emperor personally.
She just have to be cooperative secretly.
It's good to support King Chen...
...as the emperor.
If not,
we can overawe Li Han.
Let him know that the country...
...is under your control.
Well said.
Li Han granted the general amnesty...
...with the birth of his son.
He released Hua Wu Huan.
Stopped me from killing Hua Wu Huan.
Controlled me in every way.
I want to waver his throne...
...to give him a warning.
You want to...
...help me to realise my dream?
Yes.
Empress Dowager.
Zhen Ying has planned everything.
What's your plan?
Empress Dowager.
Since the emperor's son is the biggest threat to King Chen's enthronement.
we should think of a way...
...to get rid of this threat.
I won't do something...
...that causes bleeding.
Be rest assured, Empress Dowager.
Once there's an appropriate time,
we will take action and leave no trace.
Great.
I'll wait patiently, then.
Your injury is healed by just looking at the jade.
-Give it back to me. -The power of love is great.
Come and catch me.
Give it back to me.
It's because Taoist Yong's pill is effective.
It's not because of the jade.
It's not.
-Give it back to me. -Alright.
Here you go.
You managed to make up with Li Yu Xi.
It's a blessing in disguise.
Keep your jade properly.
I think we managed to escape from death,
we will definitely have big fortune.
We?
Yes.
After this matter,
I have experienced life and death...
...together with His Majesty.
I know his love towards me too.
You're finally getting what you want.
I'm so happy for you.
Both of you know nothing but love.
Do you know...
...Mount Li is in chaos because of building of temporary imperial palace.
Our people's life is getting harder.
Our people will starve to death...
...if you don't accomplish the mission.
Cui Huang.
Are you going to hurt His Majesty again?
I won't let the person who hurts...
...His Majesty gets away.
If you don't want him to get hurt,
tell him to stop building temporary imperial palace.
How should we mention about Mount Li to His Majesty?
If we say building temporary imperial palace...
...will destroy the view on Mount Li...
...and endanger the life of animals,
His Majesty will think that we're going crazy...
...and talking nonsense.
We have to make up a story.
Lie to him?
But...
Leave it to me.
I'll give you one last chance.
I'll do it on my own...
...if you can't accomplish the mission.
I'm warning you. Don't do anything stupid.
I will not show you any respect.
If you ever mess things up again,
I won't show you any mercy...
...even if you helped me before.
Your Majesty.
Wang Shou Cheng secretly met with Empress Dowager.
They must be discussing about supporting King Chen as the emperor.
Your Majesty.
Why do you remain calm...
...when you hear about this?
Wang Shou Cheng...
...wants me to know...
...that he met with Empress Dowager.
His purpose...
...is to warn me.
He wants me to know...
...that he has the power...
...to cause any trouble in imperial court.
He wants me to yield to him.
I won't be afraid of him.
I see.
I hate eunuchs to get involved in politics.
Now,
he's trying to gang up with consort kin.
I can't hold back.
I want them to know...
...that Li family is the true owner...
...of the country.
Your Majesty.
Wang Shou Cheng has the military power.
If he gets the help from Empress Dowager...
Your Majesty.
You must be cautious.
I know.
I have to get rid of eunuchs...
...and guard against consort kin.
I have to plan and prepare as soon as possible.
Your Majesty, Lady Huang requests to see you.
Let her in.
Yes.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
I made some pastries for Your Majesty.
It's delicious.
What is this?
This is Fragrance of Mount Li.
Fragrance of Mount Li?
I've never heard of it.
You've came up with a random name again.
Yes.
Because these pastries...
...are made of herbs in Mount Li.
Mount Li has very nice view. It's a great place with great people.
These herbs carry the aura there.
The pastries made from them are very delicious.
Aren't you from the nation of Zhe Dong?
How do you know about Mount Li?
Yes.
I'm form the nation of Zhe Dong.
But my mother was from Mount Li.
I used to go back to her hometown with her...
...when I was young.
So Mount Li is my second home.
I'm very familiar with everything there.
Especially little weasels there.
They're very cute.
Your Majesty, you said...
...weasel brings luck to you.
You will definitely like it there.
It appears that you're related to Mount Li.
I've been there too.
It's really a great place.
I have a suggestion.
Let's visit there together, Your Majesty.
We can stay there for a while.
See nice view and eat nice food.
What do you think?
Visit Mount Li?
If I can visit there with Your Majesty,
it will be an unforgettable memory.
Alright.
Since you like it,
we'll go tomorrow.
-Fu Quan. -Yes.
Tell Minister of Ministry of Works to go along.
Yes.
Aren't we going to enjoy there?
Why would you tell him to go along?
Qing Feng.
You helped me to solve a big problem.
What do you mean, Your Majesty?
Do you remember I complied the late emperor's decree...
...to build temporary imperial palace in Mount Li?
I remember.
You are saying that...
...bringing the Minister of Ministry of Works along...
...and tell them to stop the construction.
No.
I can't stop the construction.
Instead, I have to supervise them to build as soon as possible.
Why?
Anyway,
I have something to plan.
How could this be?
Zhen Ying.
What are you doing here?
I brought some herbs for you to restore your health.
It can help you to recover.
Take it away.
You brought it to the wrong place.
You should give it to Hu Jie Yu.
I'm here to visit you.
I can't afford to accept it.
Zhen Ying.
I thought you have gave her up...
...when you know she's His Majesty's consort.
But you risked your life...
...to save her...
...when we were catching the demon.
Instead, you fought me as if I was the demon.
Zhen Ying.
It's my job to protect Hu Jie Yu.
What's more,
you were behaving like you were possessed.
You wanted to kill her.
I must protect her.
Do you dare to admit that you were not being selfish?
I was also injured.
But you didn't even look at me.
You only cared about her.
It was an emergency situation.
If I do not care about you,
I wouldn't be here today.
Yu Xi.
You must understand...
...you can't have her.
I'll ask someone to decoct the herbal.
Don't bother.
I'll be fine after some rest.
Why didn't you dare to look at me?
Were you...
...frightened by my look that day?
Your look that day...
...made me worried.
As the water can float a boat, so can it capsize it.
I need the help of external force when catching demon.
I will be affected by it if I couldn't control it.
I will be careful in the future.
Since you're here,
let's have some tea together.
Maybe next time.
Rest well.
I won't disturb you.
It smells good.
Have a taste.
Is it good?
Open your mouth.
I can only bring you here...
...to avoid being find out by others.
It's a blessing to be able to eat the fish you grilled...
...and lotus leaf rice.
Now,
I feel blessed.
You live a luxury life in the palace.
But you can only eat...
...some simple food when you're with me.
I feel bad for you.
Feel bad?
Tell me.
You might be beheaded...
...being together with me.
Are you afraid?
Yes.
But what can I do?
I don't care...
...as long as I can be with you.
I'm glad you say that.
Those luxuries are nothing...
...compared to time spent with you.
You know what, Fei Luan?
I wish to give you a peaceful life.
Bring you out of the palace...
...and live the life you want.
But I don't know...
...when can I realise this dream.
I will wait no matter how long it will be.
Damn it.
Zhen Ying.
Listen to me, Zhen Ying.
What do you have to say?
You're in love with her again?
Or you're fearless even though you know...
...she's His Majesty's consort?
-I... -Li Yu Xi.
You disappoint me.
I tried my best to help you...
...because you're an ambitious man.
But...
But you risk your future and your life...
...because of love.
Alright.
I'll go and see His Majesty now.
I'll tell him you crossed the line...
...and is eyeing on his consort.
I'll tell him Hu Jie Yu betrayed him...
...and insulted the imperials.
No.
Zhen Ying.
It's all my fault.
You can hate me.
But please don't be angry with Fei Luan.
Fei Luan?
You're calling her by her name.
She's His Majesty's consort.
You can't have her.
I know.
But...
But I can't help.
Maybe you'll know how I feel...
...when you find someone you like one day.
Have you ever know how I feel?
When you know about her identity,
you said you'd never be trapped in love anymore.
I'm sorry.
I...
I got her wrong.
We got her wrong.
She's sincere.
She doesn't care about interest.
Her kindness moved me.
Stop it.
You insist to be with her?
Zhen Ying.
I've trapped in love.
I couldn't escape.
I don't want to escape.
Alright.
Since you're stubborn...
...and obsessed with her,
don't blame me for being merciless.
Zhen Ying.
Yu Xi.
She said she's going to see His Majesty.
What should we do?
Let me think about it.
I'm sorry, Yu Xi.
It's all my fault. I involved you.
I'm sorry.
Don't say something silly.
If His Majesty finds out about this,
you will be involved, too.
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid of anything as long as I can be with you.
I'll go to His Majesty...
...and ask him to forgive you.
If he wants to kill someone,
just kill me.
If you die,
it's meaningless for me to stay alive.
Trust me.
I said...
...I won't leave you anymore.
We will be together...
...even if we're dead.
I don't want you to die.
Or...
...we'll leave together.
We'll leave Chang An.
Bring me the fruit.
I told you to bring me the fruit.
Who are you to say that?
I'm still Lady Huang...
...before I go back to Mount Li.
You're so annoying!
Before I convince His Majesty to stop building temporary imperial palace,
you better not mess with me.
Otherwise,
I can make His Majesty changes his mind...
...of going to Mount Li.
Then,
you'll be the sinner of the Fox Tribe.
I'm scared after listening to what you said.
I wonder how can you...
...convince Li Han to stop building temporary imperial palace.
Even if I can't do that,
Fei Luan can.
His Majesty won't be opposed to what she said.
She can act pouty...
...when it's necessary.
His Majesty will surely listen to her.
The fruit.
No.
Qing Feng.
Both of you are here.
I have to go.
What's going on?
Quan Zhen Ying found out that I meet with Yu Xi.
She's going to tell His majesty.
You'd be dead if His Majesty finds out.
Yes.
So I can't stay in the palace anymore.
I have to leave now.
Alright.
You're a fox spirit.
It's easy for you to run away.
I'm sure you want to leave...
...because of Li Yu Xi.
What's wrong if she does so for the person she loves?
I can't believe you're siding her.
You can't wait. Leave now.
Hold on.
Even though you've made up with Li Yu Xi,
is he reliable?
Yu Xi.
Can we leave now?
Let's go.
Li Yu Xi.
How dare you...
...to have an affair with Hu Jie Yu.
Do you know you may be sentenced to death?
I know.
I know I've let Your Majesty down.
But it's all my fault...
...for having an affair with Hu Jie Yu.
I'll take all the blame.
Please let Hu Jie Yu off.
How dare you!
I'm willing to be hacked into pieces...
...or to be torn into pieces as long as...
...Your Majesty let Hu Jie Yu off.
Yu Xi.
Alright.
I'll grant your wish.
Why did I fell asleep?
Fei Luan.
I didn't expect you're good at this.
Your power has becoming great.
So you can be relieved...
...that I leave with Yu Xi.
He's willing to sacrifice himself for you.
It's proved that he's a reliable man.
Go as far as you can.
Don't be found by His Majesty.
But...
But I don't know when can I come back.
I can't bear to leave you.
Me too.
Imperial decree has arrived.
His Majesty ordered...
...Hu Jie Yu to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
His Majesty wants to see me?
What's the matter, Officer Wang?
I don't know.
What I know is...
...the head officer of the Ministry of Rites wants to see His Majesty.
So His Majesty ordered...
...Hu Jie Yu and General Li Yu Xi...
...to see him in the palace.
