“Beauty In The Closet” "Episode 13"
This is the best tree.
A sea of flowers!
Look at that.
Let's go.
A sea of flowers!
Little Purple, we meet each other again.
Butterfly.
Do you like me?
It's so beautiful.
What are you doing?
My sister is the only one...
...who got your heart.
You're being jealous for no reason.
I don't like it.
What do you mean by jealous for no reason?
I'm telling the truth.
Winter Jasmine.
I once said that you looked like it.
My heart feels warm when I look at it.
You still remember.
Of course I do.
I remember you once told me that...
...this mountain is full of various flora.
Perhaps, this is it.
You remembered everything that I said to you.
The scenery is truly beautiful.
Just that the path is too rugged.
How about...
...building a plank road here?
So it will be convenient for you girls to come up here.
-Don't. -Don't.
Don't do that, Your Majesty.
We have breath taking scenery here,
it all because of its nature,
without any damages done by human.
But if you're going to build a plank road here,
not only the scenery will be affected,
but also the habitat of our people.
Make sense.
Well, you'll have to give and take.
What's going on?
He's going to build not just a temporary palace, but a plank road too.
Did we just worsen the whole thing?
Don't panic. Just do as we planned.
Your Majesty.
Where's Fei Luan?
She probably hungry.
So she went back early to have something to eat.
You know...
...she can't stand hunger.
Your Majesty, look.
Its eyes look so shy.
Just like Fei Luan.
How could it be Fei Luan?
I mean...
...if she knows you refer her as a fox,
she would be upset.
Fei Luan has a kind and pure heart.
She won't be upset.
It would be so nice if it is a fox spirit.
Pardon?
All those stories between human and fox spirit...
...are so touching.
In the end, they're able to be with each other.
It's about the Charm Fruit again.
Even my figure is not a match for Fei Luan's true self.
This is so frustrating.
Have your food.
I still think weasel is more adorable.
What happened to you?
Nothing.
Have you seen a weasel before?
Of course I do.
Not only in Mount Li,
I've seen it in the palace too.
Is that so?
The weasel from Mount Li went down to the palace to pay you a visit..
That was the day where I was assassinated.
I know.
That weasel...
...must be very worried about your safety.
That's why it...
...traveled all the way from Mount Li to the palace.
Don't you think you're exaggerate a little?
How does it know that I'm injured?
Your Majesty, you have no idea...
...among all the animals, weasel is the one...
...with the most spirituality and cuteness...
and also friendliest to human.
Especially the weasel from Mount Li.
It has the highest loyalty towards love.
A lot of people come to propose a marriage because of this.
Propose a marriage to a weasel?
That's not what I mean.
What I mean is...
There are a lot people come to see the weasel...
...before they get married.
In order to gain some good vibes from it.
I see.
Speak about the weasel that I've met before.
I kind of miss it.
I wonder if it's fine.
Your Majesty, Sister.
Your Majesty, Sister, I'm back.
Why are you hurt?
When I was picking the fruits...
-What are you doing? Put me down. -Stop talking.
Nothing is more important than your legs.
I'll carry you back.
How is Lady Hu's injury?
Don't worry, Your Majesty.
Lady Hu didn't hurt her bones.
Just that she can't move freely for the moment.
Just in case the affected part gone worse.
Since there's nothing serious,
I'll follow the physician to go back.
You can't move.
The physician said that you can move freely.
Why don't you just have a good rest over here?
-Fu Quan. -Yes.
Send the physician out.
Yes.
-Your Majesty... -I order you to lay down immediately.
Here.
You just rest here.
I'll stay here.
Your Majesty.
I don't think this is a good idea.
Don't worry.
I'm not sleepy.
Be a good girl, close your eyes and rest.
You're awake.
It's you? Where's Fei Luan?
Are you playing some tricks again?
This is a surprise that I prepared for you.
You don't have to worry about sister.
Her foot doesn't hurt anymore. She went out for a walk.
Is General Li beside her?
Of course he is.
I'll be at ease then.
Your Majesty.
I have arranged so many surprises for you.
Do you like it?
Yes, I do.
Is it okay to not build a plank road?
Yes.
What about not building a temporary palace?
You sisters don't really like to sleep, aren't you? I'm so tired.
Come sleep with me.
But you haven't answer me yet.
Don't sleep yet.
Answer me.
So handsome.
Yu Xi.
Are you still angry with me?
Because His Majesty...
I know.
Whatever you do,
you will never be able to break free from who you are.
Since I have chosen you,
I should accept all these.
Furthermore,
you're so pretty and kind,
I won't be surprised even if all the men in the world...
...fall in love with you.
Just that...
His Majesty really do care about you.
And attentive.
His Majesty.
He does treat me well.
But I'm just being grateful toward him.
I didn't fell the same way like I fell for you.
Yu Xi.
You're the only one for me.
Yu Xi.
What's wrong, Yu Xi?
Yu Xi.
-Yu Xi. -Just stay there.
Yu Xi.
Yu Xi, how do you feel?
Are you alright?
I'm not sure why my head hurts so bad in a sudden.
I'm sorry, Fei Luan.
Since you're not feeling well,
we...
...shall head back.
We've been out for quite some time.
We should go back.
Fu Quan.
Got it?
What Zhen Ying said is true?
There's another reason why...
...Your Majesty is here in Mount Li.
Greeting to Your Majesty.
Get up everyone.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Zhou Zhu.
Are you clear about the things that I've assigned to you?
We have your order to secretly train our soldiers in Mount Li...
...in order to enhance the power of the royalty.
To guard against and attack the Shen Army of Wang Shou Cheng.
I'm very clear about this.
When I was still King Jiang,
you're already at my service.
This mission is definitely yours.
But you got to remember,
this is critical.
Do not startle anyone.
Rest assured Your Majesty. I will act carefully.
These guards have been my followers for years.
Their loyalty toward you are same as mine.
They won't spit a bean.
We will always be loyal to you.
Very well.
Soon after my son was born,
People at the Court and in the palace,
are getting anxious.
They are worried about me passing my throne to my son.
They're restless.
Thus, what I can do is to make...
...building a temporary palace in Mount Li as an excuse...
...so you can carry out your secret training.
You must remember.
No one is going to know this secret.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Who is it?
Your Majesty.
Fei Luan, what are you doing here?
You've heard everything that we said inside?
No.
I didn't follow you.
I'm just worried about my beloved one might in danger.
That's why I'm here.
But I just arrived. I didn't hear a thing.
You're worried about me?
Your Majesty, this is critical.
We can't have any survivor.
I'm telling the truth.
If you don't believe me,
I have nothing to say anymore.
If my death is able to relief you,
I'm willing to die.
For my beloved one.
I'm willing to die.
Your Majesty, if you can't do it,
I'll do it for you.
Zhou Zhu, stop!
You guys can withdraw now.
Yes.
Sorry to scare you.
Thank god you're not injured.
-Your Majesty. -Say nothing.
I know you have a kind soul.
Even if you've heard something you're not suppose to hear,
you'll keep it as a secret...
...for the sake of little prince's safety.
The little prince...
...is in danger?
Yu Xi.
Wake up, Yu Xi.
Fei Luan?
Why are you here?
I...
I'm sorry, Yu Xi.
I was afraid that Your Majesty might found you,
so I have to knock you out.
You followed me here.
Did His Majesty found you?
Who is it?
Commander Zhou, is the commander of the Royal Bodyguard.
His Majesty summoned him to Mount Li,
they must have something to cover up. They didn't want anyone to know.
What if His Majesty kill you?
You will end up being my scapegoat.
His Majesty understands that I didn't hear a thing.
So he let me off.
Yu Xi.
As long as you're okay.
Even if I have to die,
I'll be willing to do so.
You're so silly.
Although I didn't really hear what they said,
but I heard from my sister saying that...
...His Majesty and the Empress Dowager...
...have different opinion about the heir.
Officer Wang from the Ministry of Stratagem...
...is also up to no good.
Yu Xi.
Why are you...
...tailing His Majesty?
It's Zhen Ying. She asked me for a favour.
She suspects the motive of His Majesty coming to Mount Li.
Very likely he is going to go against Master Wang.
So she asked me to get some information.
Officer Wang is your teacher.
There's nothing wrong if you want to repay him.
But he wants you to do something to hurt His Majesty,
Yu Xi, I beg you. Do think it over.
But...
...if I keep it from Master,
I'm betraying him.
If I tell him,
His Majesty might be hurt.
Fei Luan.
It's difficult for me to decide.
I know nothing about politics.
But I know His Majesty is a good Emperor.
Also, His Majesty said that...
...this matter involves the throne...
...and also little prince's safety.
A child is innocent no matter what.
Yu Xi.
Do you have a heart to see little prince got hurt?
You're right.
If I can't even protect a little kid,
there's no use to talk about loyalty.
Yu Xi, does that mean...
...you're going to keep the secret for His Majesty?
What about your teacher then?
I...
I can only try to think of a way...
...to resolve the trust issue between them.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Just tell me.
You already helped me.
I was once confused about the right or wrong...
...of principal.
It's you.
Your kindness...
...leads me to the right way.
Yu Xi.
My heart belongs to Fei Luan.
But why...
why am I keep pushing her away?
Why?
Yu Xi, why are you hitting yourself?
Only a fool would have done that.
I am a fool.
Otherwise why would I hurt you again and again?
You...
How did you hurt me?
I want get close to you.
I want to...
...kiss you.
Yu Xi.
Yu Xi, can you please remove this bracelet and let me have a look?
You mean this one?
But Zhen Ying told me not to take it off no matter what.
You're so complying to her.
Please don't misunderstand.
I owe her.
If it wasn't for her...
I won't be who I am today.
So...
I'm doing this for your own good.
If you refuse to take it off for me...
...I'm going to get angry.
Angry?
I've never seen you angry before.
I wonder how you look like.
Fei Luan.
Unless you give me the bracelet to look at.
Otherwise...
This bracelet is emitting energy that causes discomfort.
I can't let Yu Xi wear this anymore.
Yu Xi.
I'll keep this bracelet for you.
Fei Luan.
You've always been generous.
Are you being jealous now?
Who said I was jealous?
You sounded like I'm a petty person.
I'm ignoring you.
Are you really angry with me?
Yes, I am!
It's good to know that you're jealous.
It shows that you care about me.
What?
You want me to combine both of the Charming Fruits...
...inside you and Fei Luan into one?
This is the only way to maximize the effect.
Granny.
It's not like you didn't see.
Fei Luan and I accompany His Majesty to return to Mount Li.
We tried our best to cheer him up.
And tried to convince him to give up the idea of building a palace.
But we always fail at a crucial time.
Granny, you must help me.
There's a way to combine two Charming Fruits into one.
But how are you going to maximize its effect?
Quite an idea.
Combining both of you...
...is able to maximize the effect of the Charming Fruit.
Qing Feng.
You had me waited for so long.
Fei Luan?
How come it's you?
Yes, it's me.
Sister, you're using my face now.
Please don't put everything behind when you met him.
Don't give me away just because you're overwhelm.
Don't worry.
I won't.
Who are you talking with?
My younger sister.
I mean sister.
Qing Feng?
Is Qing Feng here?
Qing... Qing Feng...
A light breeze is everywhere.
I see.
If I don't look at your face,
looking at how you act,
you're just like Qing Feng.
This girl...
She asked me out but she's late instead.
She caught on a cold.
She can't come over.
That's why she asked me to come over to keep you accompanied.
Your Majesty.
You don't like it?
How could it be? I'm very glad that you're here.
Your Majesty, don't you think laying down like this is very relaxing,
very comfortable.
Do you like it?
I do.
You're very different today.
You're friendlier to me than usual.
My sister taught me.
Her love for me is deep and loyal.
Of course.
If you don't treat me...
...her well...
Are you threatening me?
I'm not telling you.
Tell me.
Otherwise...
...you're threatening the Emperor. It's a capital offense.
How can this be a capital offense?
You're threatening people with your identity.
This doesn't count.
Moreover, you will stand to lose if you didn't...
...treat my sister well.
Make sense.
You're free from capital offense.
-Thank you. -Rise.
Is it nice?
Yes.
It's marvellous.
I mean Mount Li.
Look.
Every single flower and wood...
...is so beautiful here.
It's so pretty that it makes you don't feel like going back.
But to stay here.
Indeed.
I can feel the unprecedented freedom and comfort here.
This is the first one, there's a second one.
There's a second one?
Of course.
When you befriend with animals in this mountain,
you'll get to feel...
...how pure and loyalty they are.
Just like the fox and weasel?
Your Majesty.
You should put weasel at the first place.
-Why? -Because the weasel loves you more.
Because the weasel is more loyal,
comes with more spirituality and loves Your Majesty more...
...compare to the fox.
I know now.
I'll ask the Ministry of Work...
...fasten the process, so the palace can be done sooner.
Why?
Once the temporary palace is done,
you're able to accompany me more often.
No. Your Majesty, that's not what I meant.
-I think you got it wrong. -It's almost time.
-Time to go. Let's go. -Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Why is it always ended the other way round?
It hurts, sister.
Empress Dowager.
Didn't you saw me praying?
Is that...
...the copy of sutra that I ordered Du Qiu Niang to copy with her blood?
Yes.
Consort Qiu asked a maiden to send it here.
She said you must a check.
I think you better don't look at it.
It'll upset you.
You spitted toward the sky.
But the spit fell on your face instead.
You kicked up the dust toward me against the wind. The dust didn't reach me.
But the dust dirtied your body instead.
Du Qiu Niang.
How dare she insults me with sutra.
That's right.
Clearly it's ironic.
She's implying you tried to harm her,
but at the end you harmed yourself instead.
Consort Qiu...
How can a dying person be this arrogant?
She even sent someone to give me this.
She is trying to provoke me.
Well...
How are you going to punish her?
I'm a sincere Buddhist.
Of course I'll use the most mercy way to against her.
Consort Qiu.
If I didn't use my blood to copy the sutra for you,
your body won't be able to hold on.
That old grandma Empress is so vicious.
How could she torture you with copying the sutra with your own blood?
But that's a good thing though.
The more she wanted to harm you,
the closer my plan to succeed.
You're in a deep sleep now.
You're not aware of anything.
But I can tell...
...Hua Wu Huan cares about you a lot.
If the Epress Dowager keeps on torturing you,
he won't just sit and watch you suffer.
So in order to suppress her,
he will make King Zhang the Emperor.
Until then,
I could use your identity...
to stop King Zhang from building a temporary palace.
And leave Mount Li at peace.
Consort Qiu.
What kind of torment she would use...
...to torture you after receiving...
...the sutra that I sent to her?
Your Highness.
Greeting to Consort Qiu.
Empress Dowager asked me to deliver this tonic to you.
This is for you to strengthen your body.
Empress Dowager is very concern about me.
Do thank her for me.
Yes.
Also,
Empress Dowager is afraid you...
...might forget to take the tonic.
So she told me to make sure...
...you have taken your tonic, and then I'm free to leave.
That's very sweet of her.
All right then.
This tonic is poisonous.
She doesn't know foxes like us have a sharp sense.
According to this poison,
if Consort Qiu takes this tonic,
her organs will be damaged,
even if she is able to keep her life.
If I take the tonic on behalf of her,
it will hurt my Qi.
Consort Qiu.
Please take the tonic.
Otherwise, I can't report back to Empress Dowager.
Your Highness.
What happened to you?
I rushed all the way here after receiving the news saying that you've been poisoned.
What did the physician said?
Wu Huan.
I was grounded by His Majesty.
People are not allowed to come to visit.
You shouldn't come here.
Your Highness.
Look at your condition.
How can I walk away?
What did the physician said?
How did you get poisoned?
Empress Dowager.
She send a tonic for me.
And asked me to take it on front of her maiden.
The tonic is poisoned.
Fortunately, the physician comes in just in time.
My life is saved.
But...
This toxicity is too strong.
All my organs were damaged.
My body can't hold on for too long.
It's Empress Dowager again.
Why can't she just let you off?
She is way too much.
When His Majesty is back,
I'll definitely report this to him.
Don't.
Don't do that.
Your Highness.
She harmed you again and again.
You're almost dead this time.
Why are you still protecting her?
Empress Dowager is too honourable.
It's too easy for her...
...to take my life.
I'll never be her match.
Unless there's one day...
...Zou Er able to finish the last wish of the late Emperor...
...and become the Emperor.
Only then I can live peacefully...
...under his protection.
These are just merely a though.
Wu Huan.
I don't want to make it difficult for you.
I know.
You're always loyal to His Majesty.
Just that I trusted you,
that's why I'm telling you all these.
Empress Dowager...
...always wanted King Chen to be the Emperor.
But now,
His Majesty has his own blood.
His son will be the first choice...
...when it comes to passing the throne.
Zou Er won't be getting any chance.
Don't mind me, I'm just blabbering.
Deputy Head Hua.
Where's Consort De?
Reporting back to Deputy Head Hua,
Consort De went to Imperial Garden to have a walk.
You may go.
Yes.
Deputy Head Hua, the rice porridge for little prince is ready.
Did the Senses Eunuch tasted this?
Yes.
But according to convention,
I need to taste it in front of Deputy,
before giving it to the little prince.
It's okay.
Yes.
You may go.
Yes.
His Majesty will not pass the throne to King Chen.
But if he passes it to little prince...
Do you really want to do so?
We have to.
It's such a waste for this pretty face.
Some ugliness can be overwhelming.
And some are lighter than a feather.
I would rather to be ugly for the rest of my life...
...than be sorry to Yu Xi.
You can do that, but I can't.
Such a beautiful face...
Even if it's not mine...
..it's also a pleasing to my eyes just by watching it.
Being ugly for a night is enough.
No.
What about eating lesser?
No. I need to eat as many as I can.
The uglier the better.
I don't want to be too ugly.
What if I scare His Majesty...
...and he chases me out?
How am I going to tell him to stop building the temporary palace?
But if I don't disfigure a little,
and His Majesty is mesmerized with my beauty...
and ask me to sleep with him, what should I do then?
I;m here. There's nothing to be afraid of.
I'm more afraid of you compared to His Majesty.
You would lose your soul the moment you saw His Majesty.
I don't believe you.
Your Majesty.
I got you some berries.
Thank you.
Have some.
Why are you wearing a veil on your face?
I was trying out some herbs earlier.
So I ate a poison herb by accident.
Let me have a look.
Don't.
Fu Quan, summon the physician.
No.
It'll be fine after tonight.
I don't want people to see this ugly face.
No matter how ugly you are, you're still my love.
I don't mind it, you shouldn't either.
Let the physician to have a look.
Or I'll be worry.
Do you mean...
...whether I'm pretty or not...
...you wouldn't mind, is it?
Are you taking me as an ordinary man?
Appearance is nothing but an outer layer.
Is the heart that matters.
Furthermore,
you're adorable in every way.
Very well. I'll stay for the night to keep you company.
You're willing to do so?
Why did you like to sleep on the floor?
Because sleeping on the floor make me feel safe.
I love to lay on the floor when I was little.
Especially in the summer.
I think it' very cooling.
I bet you have no chance to do so.
Who told you that?
I used to...
...lay on the ground in the mountain.
Watch the stars in the sky.
You like it this way too?
I like the smell of the sweet vanilla.
Listen to the bird chirping...
...with your eyes closed.
I was thinking...
...it would be so great if the world...
...can be this peaceful.
No wars.
No lies.
Ribbit ribbit.
It's the sound of the frogs.
Squeaking.
It's crickets.
Crunch.
It's the sound of breaking branch.
Your Majesty.
Since you adore the nature this much,
then why did you have the heart to destroy Mount Li?
This is a home for many people.
You can build a temporary palace everywhere you want.
But this is our only home.
How dare you.
Your Majesty is a good Emperor.
If there is enemy invasion,
I'm sure you will protect your country and people with everything.
Although I'm just a girl,
this is the only place I can see besides the palace.
And I'm not resourceful as you, but...
But my will to protect my home,
will not lose to you.
Otherwise...
I don't deserve to be your women.
Do you know the consequences for discussing country's affair?
I do.
You will always threaten people with your identity.
Anyway...
As long as the people of Mount Li...
...are able to enjoy the smell of the soil.
And how a frog sounds like.
I...
I'm willing to die for it.
I wonder why all these word are coming from you...
...but not Qing Feng.
What's the difference?
Only Qing Feng would say...
...things like that to contradict me.
I've been spending the whole day with you...
...but I feel like...
...I'm being with her.
I don't know why...
...but I'm very happy.
But I didn't know I'm happy for which one of you.
Alright.
I'll listen to you.
I won't...
Your Majesty.
People from the palace send a message.
Little prince is in danger.
Back to the palace now.
