"Beauty in The Closet" "Episode 26"
Lady Hu's lover is Li Yu Xi?
It's surprising.
Yes.
Having an affair with concubine is a capital crime.
If they're being found out,
no matter how His Majesty appreciates him,
I'm afraid Li Yu Xi wouldn't able to escape from a death sentence.
Having an affair with concubine is a capital crime.
Wu Huan.
Although you know Li Yu Xi.
But he's Wang Shou Cheng's student.
You risked your life to cover for him.
If it's exposed,
His Majesty will not let you off.
My lady.
Li Yu Xi is a talented person.
His majesty appreciates him.
He has great reputation in Ministry of Stratagem.
He has part of the military powers, too.
Seemingly he's Wang Shou Cheng's student.
But they're actually on different path.
If we can get his help,
the odds of success in King Zhang's rebellion will be greater.
So you're trying to draw him to our side.
Yes.
Li Yu Xi is a righteous person.
He's loyal to His Majesty.
He's also a diligent person.
If he's really having an affair with Lady Hu,
it'll be the reason for him to turn against His Majesty.
I'm going to take this advantage...
...to instigate them.
So,
His Majesty will lost a great helper.
While King Zhang...
...will have a great helper.
What do you think, my lady?
Do as you say.
I can rest assured that you're handling this matter.
I've been staying in Imperial Harem.
There's nothing much I can do.
If...
...you ever need help,
you can look for Cui Huang.
Why are you staring at me?
Both of you are acquaintance.
Yes, my lady.
Have some rest, my lady.
I'll leave now.
He's left. You may come out now.
You heard our conversation, didn't you?
I knew about Li Yu Xi and Lady Hu.
The love in between them has nothing to do with me.
As well as to make King Zhang the emperor.
I never thought that we can make use of this matter...
...to draw Li Yu Xi to our side.
Wu Huan is smart.
What's this?
Did you buy this for me?
Do you still keep the hairpin you gave me?
Tell me honestly.
Who are you thinking...
...when you buy this hairpin?
You are my lady.
You'd never be somebody else.
You're afraid I'm not the real Consort Qiu.
You're afraid you've betrayed your feelings for her.
No.
Because you have fallen in love with me, haven't you?
When will you stop avoiding me?
I've important matters to attend to.
Please make way.
Is this the reason...
...or the excuse?
Since you like to talk about important matters,
let's talk about important matters.
We have nothing important to talk about.
The plan to pull Li Han down.
You mean...
Lady Huang knows...
...we're going to make King Zhang the emperor?
She will be a threat to us.
But she is your master.
Why should I believe you?
Don't you know my feelings for you?
Do I think about myself?
Yes.
I want King Zhang to be the emperor.
So...
...the crisis of my home can be solved.
Your home?
Mount Li.
Only by making King Zhang the emperor,
the plan to build temporary imperial palace will be canceled.
Then, my tribe can get their habitat back...
...and live a peaceful life.
Furthermore,
Huang Qing Feng has made herself clear that she won't care about my family.
So,
I will not rely on her anymore.
For the matter of making King Zhang the emperor,
I will only discuss it with Consort Qiu.
You don't have to be on guard against me.
I know everything...
...regarding your plan.
There's something...
...you've already figured out.
But you didn't want to admit it...
...or say it.
You're saying this...
...to remind me to be aware of Huang Qing Feng.
All right.
Anyway, you have to be careful.
Whenever the emperor is in danger,
he'll always be safe in the end.
That's because Huang Qing Feng helped him.
Women from the nation of Zhe Dong...
...are really something.
I will try my best to eliminate Huang Qing Feng.
As for how to deal with Li Han,
to destroy his reputation on imperial court...
...and pull him down from his throne,
are your job to do.
If you need me,
you can come to me.
I've been helping you.
You should know that.
Deputy Head, we've cleaned this place.
All right. You may work on something else.
Yes.
Lady Cui Huang.
I can't believe the bead...
...has so much energy in it.
What are you looking at?
What are you doing here?
I'm here to look for you.
What are you looking at?
This is Imperial Flaming Bead.
It's given by Lam Ap during Li Yuan's period.
It witnessed the glorious of our dynasty.
It's the treasure of our country.
I see.
This Flaming Bead will change according to the rise and fall of the empire.
It turns dull when the empire falls.
When the empire rises,
it will turn bright.
This Flaming Bead can predict the rise and fall of the empire.
It has the trust of everyone.
It's an advantage...
...and also a disadvantage.
A palace maid shouldn't be entering Zi Cheng Hall without permission.
You should go now.
I haven't finished talking.
Look at the bead.
Do you think of anything?
What do you mean?
The Flaming Bead can predict fortune of the empire.
If the Flaming Bead turns dull all of a sudden,
everyone will start panicking.
This can weaken the power of the emperor.
So King Zhang can take this opportunity...
...to build his reputation.
What's more,
since this Flaming Bead is valuable,
we can use it...
...to get rid of Huang Qing Feng.
What's the matter?
We can kill two birds with one stone.
This Flaming Bead symbolises the fortune of the empire.
It matters a lot.
I don't want to damage it hastily.
Don't worry.
I have a perfect plan.
This palace is big.
But I'm all alone.
Fei Luan isn't here.
Cui Huang is bad.
She's planning to do harm to His Majesty everyday.
Damn it.
Greetings to Officer Wang.
This is the first time you're being polite to me.
You're good at joking.
Did His Majesty send you here?
Yes.
He wants you to spend the night with him.
Come with me.
All right.
I will go with you.
Anyway,
His Majesty is kind to me.
He didn't allow me to see Fei Luan before this.
And got angry with me.
I'm sure he's regret now...
...and trying to make up with me.
I must take this opportunity...
...to tell him to send Fei Luan back.
This isn't the way to The Hall of Supreme Harmony.
You' re going the wrong way.
We aren't.
His Majesty ordered Lady Huang...
...to serve in Zi Cheng Hall.
Zi Cheng Hall?
Isn't that the place to discuss imperial affairs?
His Majesty hates me to interfere in imperial affairs.
How would he order me to go there?
His Majesty is busy with imperial affairs lately.
He has no time to summon my lady.
But he misses my lady.
He happens to have a small break today.
So he summoned you to see him.
Officer Wang is behaving strangely today.
He's always particular about the rules.
He won't be so rude.
Who exactly is he?
The tone he speaks is familiar.
Cui Huang.
He must be Cui Huang.
Why is she pretending to be Officer Wang and giving fake order?
Why does she want me to go to Zi Cheng Hall?
I'm sure she's up to something.
Right.
I said I'm going to bring my mother into the palace.
And I will no longer deal with Fox Tribe's matter.
I even said I will tell His Majesty about Hua Wu Huan and her plan.
Did she take it seriously?
She wants to get rid of me.
What should I do?
Stop.
Officer Wang.
Stop.
What's the matter?
I have stomachache.
How could this happen?
I don't know.
I think..
I think I catch a cold.
Officer Wang.
Please tell His Majesty...
...that I'm going back to rest.
I can't see him now.
And apologise to His Majesty.
No.
This is His Majesty's order.
You must go to Zi Cheng Hall...
...and tell His Majesty.
Let's go.
I'm not going.
Why not?
I...
I need to go to the toilet.
I need to take a dump.
Take a dump?
Hold it first.
How should I hold?
What if I couldn't hold it in front of His Majesty?
Do you want His Majesty to feel disgusted?
All right.
Go now.
Go.
All right. Do it here.
What?
I am a consort.
You're telling me to do it in the bush?
You said you can't hold it.
Of course you have to do it here.
You...
You know what?
Zi Lan Palace is far from here.
But Zi Cheng Hall is nearby.
Why don't we go to Zi Cheng Hall?
No.
I'll do it here.
Rat King.
Get down.
You're here just in time.
My lady.
Your strength is still so strong.
What are you doing here?
Do me a favour.
Where's His Majesty?
What do you think?
I think...
...this is all fake.
You're fake too, Officer Wang.
No.
You're Cui Huang.
Do you think you're smart?
So what if you know who I am?
You're not going to escape today.
What do you want?
I want you to leave here forever.
It's broken.
What is this?
You call yourself a consort.
You don't even know about Imperial Flaming Bead.
Imperial Flaming Bead?
Imperial Flaming Bead.
It's...
It's the sacred item of imperial household.
Why did you break it?
I didn't. You did.
I did it?
Are you trying to frame me?
Only now do you know.
What's the penalty for breaking Imperial Flaming Bead?
Death penalty.
Before Hua Wu Huan arrests you,
you can't escape.
You're not going to get away with this.
I'm a weasel spirit after all.
Do you think I will be trapped in Zi Cheng Hall?
What are you doing?
Don't worry.
For the sake of our past relationship,
I will not get you killed.
But you're such a trouble maker.
-So I have to do this. -You...
Although you'll be blamed for...
...breaking Imperial Flaming Bead,
But I'm merciful.
I'll save you from the prison before you were beheaded.
After this,
you can't come back to the palace.
Cui Huang.
How could you do this to me?
I'm not asking you to save me.
I won't leave.
Get ready to be arrested.
Huang Qing Feng.
I can't believe you're doing this.
Huang Qing Feng.
I will not let you off.
I received a tip-off.
Someone is trying to break Imperial Flaming Bead.
Go in and search.
-You must arrest the person. -Yes.
Wu Huan is here.
I can't let them find out I'm here.
What should I do?
I'm sure he won't go far.
Search outside.
Yes.
Lady Huang is in Zi Cheng Hall.
You must make sure she's safe.
Only Wu Huan is in the hall.
He'd be highly suspicious in breaking Imperial Flaming Bead.
I'm in trouble.
I'm the only one in the hall.
I will be blamed for breaking Imperial Flaming Bead.
What should I do? This can't be.
Check inside now.
Deputy Head Hua.
What are you doing here?
General Li.
Why do you bring Divination Army...
...to Zi Cheng Hall?
I received a news.
Someone is trying to do harm to Lady Huang.
So I come here to save her.
Do you see Lady Huang, Deputy Head?
I'm also looking for her.
Deputy Head Hua.
As a Deputy Head,
you're responsible to take care of Zi Cheng Hall...
...and Imperial Flaming Bead.
Nobody is allowed to touch it.
It's gone missing.
What do you have to say?
Your Majesty. I received a tip-off today.
It says someone is trying to break Imperial Flaming Bead.
So I came here.
But I was too late.
A tip-off?
You said someone is trying to break Imperial Flaming Bead?
Yes.
General Li.
Do you see anyone when you bring Divination Army here?
Your Majesty.
When I reached Zi Cheng Hall,
I only saw Deputy Head Hua.
Besides that,
I didn't find anything.
Hua Wu Huan.
Your Majesty.
When I reached here,
I saw...
...Lady Huang left the hall.
When I entered the hall,
I found out that Imperial Flaming Bead was gone.
Before I respond,
General Li was here with his army.
General Li.
Why do you bring...
...Divination Army to Zi Cheng Hall?
Lady Huang is in danger.
She told me to ask for your help.
What happened to her?
Why didn't she ask for His Majesty's help?
I also received...
...a tip-off...
...saying that someone is trying to harm Lady Huang,
and told me to save her here.
What a coincidence.
Lady Huang again.
Both of us received a tip-off.
And it was mentioning the same person.
It's complicated. There must be something fishy going on.
What are you trying to say?
Your Majesty.
We've searched Zi Cheng Hall thoroughly.
We didn't find Imperial Flaming Bead.
But...
...we found this.
This is the respawn bracelet I gave to Lady Huang.
So she was here.
Your Majesty.
The missing of Imperial Flaming Bead concerns the fortune of the country.
The person who stole it is unforgivable.
But don't jump to conclusions.
It seems...
...Lady Huang has something to do with this.
Since I'm the only one who has seen her in the hall,
I'm willing to confront her face to face...
...to find out the truth...
...and the mastermind.
General Li.
Bring Lady Huang here.
I'm going to interrogate her personally.
Yes.
Qing Feng. Luckily you came to cold palace.
What would happen if someone sees you?
His Majesty can't find out about this.
Don't worry.
We've left the palace.
Qing Feng.
Are you all right?
You must hang in there.
Think about His Majesty that you love.
Think about mother and I.
You can't leave us.
Who hurt you?
Sister Cui Huang.
It's Sister Cui Huang, right?
Don't blame her.
I know she wants to make King Zhang the emperor...
...not just because of Hua Wu Huan.
It's also for the Fox Tribe in Mount Li.
Why are you siding her?
She didn't mean to kill me.
She wanted to chase me away from His Majesty.
But she can't hurt you.
We are a family after all.
How could she do that to you?
Qing Feng.
You're seriously injured.
It won't work even if I give you my inner energy.
Now...
...we can only go back to Mount Li.
Let's go back to Mount Li.
-Your Majesty. -Where's Lady Huang?
We've searched everywhere besides Zi Lan Palace and cold palace.
Lady Huang is nowhere to be seen.
And...
...Lady Hu is missing too.
Are...
...both of them running away together?
They ran away before the truth is revealed.
It's unwise.
It doesn't make sense for Lady Huang to steal Flaming Bead.
She did everything for Your Majesty.
Why would she do something to harm Your Majesty and imperial households?
It does nothing good to her.
It seems...
...I hurt her...
...for sending Lady Hu to cold palace.
Your Majesty mean...
...she's doing this to revenge?
Lady Huang is straightforward and blunt.
It's not surprising.
Your Majesty.
If it's so,
you can't let her off.
General Li.
Pass my order.
Keep looking for Lady Huang and Lady Hu.
You have to bring them back...
...even if you have to search the entire city.
Yes.
I know you're in doubts.
But right now,
you should keep calm.
Flaming Bead is missing.
His Majesty is suspecting you.
He will definitely send someone to keep watch on you.
Meeting me here...
...is causing trouble for yourself.
What are you afraid of?
Flaming Bead is broken.
You managed to clear the broken pieces...
...right in front of me.
Meeting me here...
...is not a difficulty to you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
What are you doing?
You're testing me.
You do know how to cast spell.
Even Officer Quan...
...doesn't have such an ability.
You're not human.
You're afraid of me?
Stay right there.
Tell me.
What exactly are you?
You can think whatever you want about me.
I'm not going to harm you anyway.
What about you?
You know how important this hairpin is to me.
You used it to test me.
Do you think I won't be sad?
I have emotions, too.
I didn't tell you my real identity...
...because I was afraid that you'd be scared.
You don't understand it now.
I know.
But you have to remember.
What I did...
...is for my family...
...and you.
That'd be enough.
Cui Huang.
Don't worry.
Qing Feng wouldn't dare to go back to the palace...
...without returning the Flaming Bead.
We've finally get rid of her.
It'll be easier for us to make King Zhang the emperor.
And...
...Flaming Bead is with me.
I promise.
If you make King Zhang the emperor,
I'll return it.
Your Majesty.
Go ahead.
Did you suspect Lady Huang back in the hall?
As far as I know,
Lady Huang will never do something that will harm you.
I know.
So...
There must be a secret behind it.
Maybe it's not like what Deputy Head Hua said.
Please find out the truth before you make a decision, Your Majesty.
Hua Wu Huan.
Now I don't completely believe...
...what Hua Wu Huan said.
Don't forget...
...he was the only one there.
He's also a suspect.
You mean...
It's his job to come in and go out of...
...Zi Cheng Hall.
It's not surprising.
What's strange is...
...he brought a lot of imperial guards.
As if he knew he was going to arrest Qing Feng.
Your Majesty were just pretending...
...to be suspecting Lady Huang?
Yes.
Only when the suspect...
...exposed himself,
only can we know what his intention is.
I understand.
It must be hard for you.
I feel much better.
You...
...don't have to boil tonic for me in the future.
-You're not human. -Are you afraid of me?
Stay right there.
What exactly are you?
You can think whatever you want about me.
I'm not going to harm you anyway.
Wu Huan.
-My lady. -What are you thinking?
I've been calling you but you have no response.
The Flaming Bead is disappeared.
Everyone is worried about it.
Uyghur on the borderland that's been ready to make trouble...
...might take this advantage...
...to intrude at anytime.
You and Cui Huang shouldn't touch the Flaming Bead.
Although I wish Cou Er to be the emperor.
But I wouldn't want to see...
...the invasion of our enemy.
That's what I have in mind, too.
But what's done is done.
Since we can't do anything about it,
we should make use of this opportunity.
What's your plan?
Once Uyghur invaded,
King Zhang can volunteer to lead the army to attack.
He may build his reputation and get hold of the military power.
This is a good idea.
Will His Majesty approve?
And...
...Cou Er is in Luo Yang.
Tell him to come back to visit you.
No matter His Majesty approves or not,
once the war started,
King Zhang has to volunteer himself.
Qing Feng has come round.
Qing Feng, you've come round.
You scared me.
I'm fine, Mom.
I just took a nap.
Qing Feng.
Do you feel better?
Much better.
Did Granny save me?
Thank you, Granny.
Silly girl.
Why do you thank me?
You're a part of the Fox Tribe.
Do you think I'll watch you die?
Yes.
You're seriously injured this time.
I couldn't stand it anymore.
Tell me who hurt you.
I'll avenge you.
Tell us.
Granny, Elder.
You must avenge Qing Feng.
It has nothing to do with anyone.
It's my own fault.
To save His Majesty and the prince,
I used my inner energy over and over again.
Day after day...
...and I turn out like this.
Then...
...why does Fei Luan want us to avenge you?
Fei Luan.
You'd never lie.
Tell us.
I...
-I... -All right.
I won't keep it from you.
Someone is against me.
Who is it?
It's Head Officer of the Ministry of Rites.
It's true.
When I'm in danger,
she'll save me.
Furthermore,
Qing Feng put a lot of efforts...
...for the mission.
She almost got killed by Officer Quan.
Then...
Your real identity...
Luckily we're smart.
So she doesn't know about it.
If I ever see Quan Zhen Ying,
I'll give her a lesson...
...on behalf of you.
Yes.
Everybody, please calm down.
Qing Feng has just recovered.
She needs to get some rest.
Let's get out of here.
Let's go.
Go.
Qing Feng.
Why didn't you allow me to tell them it's Cui Huang who hurt you?
If Granny finds out,
she'd be very angry.
She'll punish Cui Huang.
You're still siding Cui Huang.
Actually we shouldn't blame her.
It was a misunderstanding.
She thought I'm going to ignore the Fox Tribe.
So she was angry.
Even if she's angry,
she shouldn't beat you...
...in spite of our relationship.
I know.
She doesn't like me.
But...
...I've never questioned her sincerity...
...to protect The Fox Tribe.
What's more,
I understand the feeling...
...to sacrifice yourself...
...for your loved one.
Qing Feng.
You've changed.
I mean...
...you're more considerate and generous.
Well. Take a rest.
I'll call you when the chicken soup is ready.
It's solar eclipse.
It's said that partial solar eclipse...
...indicates that there will be a disaster for the emperor.
Your Majesty.
This is a bad sign.
Xun Zi said...
...solar and lunar eclipse,
wind and rain...
...and odd stars...
...happen in every dynasty.
With a wise emperor and stable political situation,
even if these phenomena are happening at the same time,
it won't cause any harm.
It means there are uncommon phenomena happen in every dynasty.
As long as the emperor is wise,
there's nothing to be afraid of.
Yes.
Your Majesty is a wise emperor.
You will definitely be blessed by God.
You know what?
I went to the temple to change incenses.
All the incenses that were lit went out.
Went out?
When I was trying to lit them again,
they couldn't be lit.
This...
I remember one thing.
It hasn't been raining in Chang An.
But there were lightning and thunder yesterday.
I found out a stone lion...
...in the palace shed tears this morning.
Really? That's scary.
What are you talking about?
Greetings to Your Majesty.
Both of you are free today.
What are you talking about?
Tell me.
We talked too much. Please forgive us.
The thunderstorm yesterday...
...and solar eclipse today...
...are change of weather.
As for the incenses that couldn't be lit,
it's because they were wet because of the rain.
Stone lion shed tears...
...because of the rainwater.
Do you have anymore doubt?
No, Your Majesty.
I have no doubt.
Leave, then.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
I know you don't like this, but...
Are you talking about the uncommon phenomena today?
I have already explained.
Sonar eclipse, thunderstorm,
wet incenses...
and stone lion that shed tears...
...are coincidence.
But all of them happened after the Flaming Bead was missing.
It's coincidence if there's only one or two incidents.
It's not coincidence if they happen one after another.
These are all bad signs.
Are you all right, Officer Quan?
Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.
I'm fine.
What's the result?
Where is the Flaming Bead?
Your Majesty.
I'm afraid the Flaming Bead is destroyed.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I used universal sphere to divine the location of the Flaming Bead.
It shows that the Flaming Bead is destroyed.
With the uncommon phenomena happen today,
I guess...
...it has something to do...
...with demons.
Demons?
I'm wondering, too.
The Flaming Bead gone missing together with...
...Lady Huang and Lady Hu.
Are the two of them...
What's wrong with them?
You mean...
...they are demons?
I dare not to jump to conclusions without any proof.
Although Qing Feng is headstrong,
she wouldn't destroy the Flaming Bead without permission.
Qing Feng was caught by a demon.
Is it possible that...
...the demon wanted to harm Qing Feng and the Flaming Bead?
I think...
...as long as we find Lady Huang,
the truth will be revealed.
Can you predict the location of Qing Feng?
Yes, I can.
But...
...I need Lady Huang's personal item to cast spell.
This is the respawn bracelet I gave to Lady Huang.
She has been wearing it before she was caught.
You can use this.
All right.
How is it, Officer Quan?
The west.
There are two possibilities.
First,
Lady Huang might be...
Tell me.
She might be dead.
That's impossible.
Qing Feng is going be safe.
What's the second possibility?
The second possibility...
...means somewhere in the west.
For example,
Lady Huang's mother's hometown.
Mount Li.
I'll leave it to you.
Remember, keep a low profile.
Don't alert Imperial Court and Imperial Harem.
If you find out anything about them,
you must report to me personally.
Since His Majesty sent me to look for you,
I must make full use of this advantage.
Hu Fei Luan.
I will not let you be back to Yu Xi.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure your sister dies with you.
You'll have a companion on the way to hell.
You won't be alone.
The Flaming Bead is destroyed and they're dead.
This is the best explanation I can give.
