"Beauty in The Closet" "Episode 27"
Are you going back to the palace, Qing Feng?
I'm worried about His Majesty.
The Flaming Bead is destroyed.
Cui Huang and Hua Wu Huan....
...will definitely take this opportunity to pull His Majesty down.
What's more,
with Quan Zhen Ying in the palace,
she's going to figure how to kill us.
Qing Feng.
Cruel woman.
Who is this?
-Grandma. -Why would she kill you?
She's Quan Zhen Ying we mentioned.
She's the Head Officer of the Ministry of Rites?
She gave you a miserable life.
I'm going to teach her a lesson today.
Look.
This is the bracelet Your Majesty gave me.
Maybe...
...His Majesty sent her to look for us.
Did she kill us...
...by the command of His Majesty?
No.
His Majesty wouldn't do that.
His Majesty doesn't know that the Flaming Bead is destroyed.
He must be thinking that I stole it...
...and ran away.
So,
before he found the Flaming Bead,
he wouldn't give order to kill me.
I'm sure His Majesty sent Quan Zhen Ying to look for us.
But she wanted to get rid of us.
We'll talk about it later.
She seems seriously injured.
Granny. Let's save her first.
Are you crazy?
She almost killed you.
I can't believe you want to save her.
No matter she's good or bad,
we have to save her.
Moreover,
to stop hatred with love...
...is what we do.
Fei Luan is right.
You've come round.
I cooked you some porridge.
Have some.
Zhen Ying.
This is the porridge I cooked.
Have some.
Get lost.
I don't believe you'd be nice to me.
It doesn't matter if you don't like me.
But you have to take care of yourself.
My injury.
How did my injury heal?
If it weren't for us,
you'd be dead.
Besides that,
Fei Luan treated your injury.
That's impossible.
I was seriously injured.
I wouldn't be healed so soon.
You're not human.
Are you afraid?
Don't come near me.
You're not human.
Play with us, sister.
Sister.
-Don't touch me. -Sister.
Meng Meng.
Go and play over there.
-Let's go. -Let's go and play there.
All right.
Did you see clearly?
Why aren't us human?
You're evil-minded.
You're thinking to do harm to us every day.
You're not human yourself.
Don't assume I'm not going to suspect you because you saved me.
Ordinary human wouldn't be able to...
...make the two mysterious forces.
I didn't see any mysterious force.
I only saw you lying on the ground.
Could it be...
...the magic you practise is too evil...
...and you got consumed by your power.
So,
you were imagining things.
Stop playing innocent.
If you're not demon,
how could you escape from my enchanted veil?
How dare you talk about the enchanted veil?
Luckily we had fast response to escape from it.
Anyway,
when I found you,
you were lying on the ground.
I didn't want to save you.
But Fei Luan is kind-hearted.
She insisted to bring you back...
...so that the elders can treat you.
Stop talking about that, Qing Feng.
I'm glad everyone is fine.
Why should I stop talking?
I want her to know...
...how kind you are.
Do you know what she said?
She said she wanted to stop your hatred towards her with love.
You wanted to kill her.
But she returned good for your evil.
How about you?
You didn't even thank us...
...and were suspicious of us.
Do you think we're going to harm you?
I have nothing against you, Lady Huang.
I came to look for you and Lady Hu...
...by the command of His Majesty.
Everything else was misunderstanding.
That's great.
Are you crazy? Do you believe in her?
Misunderstanding can only be resolved with trust.
I hope Zhen Ying can trust us, too.
Qing Feng didn't steal the Flaming Bead.
Deputy Head Hua wronged her.
Hua Wu Huan?
That's right.
The person your father hates.
He's my enemy now.
We have the same enemy.
If you're against me,
you're helping Hua Wu Huan.
Why are you telling me this?
I'm sure you know...
...I will go back to the palace to clear my name.
I'll prove...
...Hua Wu Huan is the culprit of the incident of Flaming Bead.
And I'll get rid of him.
Since we're on the same page,
you should think carefully...
...whether to harm me or help me.
She's talking with certainty.
It seems she has the confident to clear her name.
Besides that, the ability of their tribe is unusual.
I'm definitely not their match.
A wise man knows when to retreat.
I'll deal with them when they're back in the palace.
You're right.
I was getting consumed by my power...
...and imagining things.
Please forgive me.
Since you were getting consumed by your power,
you were imagining things...
...for seeing Fei Luan and I...
...in Mount Li, right?
Of course. The enchanted veil is also an illusion.
Lady Huang and Lady Hu...
...have never came across enchanted veil.
Are you worried that I might tell His Majesty when I'm back in the palace?
Don't worry.
As long as you do what we told you to do,
I will repay you.
Thank you, Lady Huang.
I'm going to ask for punishment from His Majesty for my incompetent.
I didn't find my ladies...
...in Mount Li.
All right.
It's best if you could say so.
I feel a lot better.
I'll leave now.
Of course, I wish you'd clear your name soon...
...and be back to the palace.
You may leave now.
Qing Feng.
Officer Quan is back, Your Majesty.
How's it?
Did you find Qing Feng and Fei Luan?
I'm incompetent.
I've searched all over Mount Li,
went everywhere they might go...
...and asked everyone who might know,
but I didn't find anything.
Please punish me, Your Majesty.
They're not in Mount Li.
Where else could they be?
Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty. -What's the matter?
Something happened in the borderland.
I received an urgent report.
Uyghur has been trying to invade our territory...
...and start a war.
I call all of you over...
...to ask if you have any strategy.
Your Majesty, I think...
...everyone is panic now.
The troops are having low morale.
If we attack at this moment,
I'm afraid we might lose.
I don't think so, Officer Wang.
Your Majesty.
Uyghur looks down upon us.
In my opinion,
we can't tolerate this.
King Zhang, you mean...
...we should send the troops out?
Our reputation shouldn't be destroyed.
I'm willing to take this responsibility...
...to lead the troops to the borderland from Luo Yang.
And kill all of them.
What do you think, Officers?
Your Majesty.
I agree with King Zhang's suggestion.
The Flaming Bead is missing.
Everyone feels uneasy now.
If we don't exterminate the barbarians,
I'm afraid it's going to get worse.
So,
to reassure the public,
I think we must make the first move...
...in order to boost our country's prestige.
We're willing to fight under the lead of King Zhang.
Disasters happened one after another.
Our people are living in miserable.
If we start a battle now,
I'm afraid the national treasury might be at risk.
If we recruit soldiers and implement taxes,
our people will end up suffering.
So I think...
...to attack Uyghur...
...is not the best way.
Brother.
Do you want us to sit back and do nothing?
That's not what I mean.
We should be nice to Uyghur.
Have mercy on them...
...and establish diplomatic relations with them...
...to avoid casualties.
So, everyone will be living in peace.
Uyghur is belligerent and greedy.
I'm afraid they won't accept this.
Furthermore,
this is too passive.
Uyghur will think that we're afraid of them...
...and they will seek for more.
Instead of waiting passively,
why don't we make the first move?
Please think about it.
I've made up my mind.
Although we haven't found a solution,
whatever happens,
you can't start a battle with Uyghur...
...and make our people suffer.
Officers, please think about...
...what we can do...
...to establish our diplomatic relations.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
What's the matter for Your Majesty summoning me?
I'm sure you're aware of...
...the invasion of Uyghur.
All the reports here...
...agree King Zhang to start a battle.
Your Majesty do not want to start a battle...
...because it might be a waste of manpower and resources...
...or because you're wary of King Zhang?
King Zhang volunteered to lead the troops.
I can tell...
...he's trying to strengthen his power in military...
...and boost his prestige.
When Your Majesty were trapped in the state of Wei,
King Zhang helped you out...
...and returned the imperial jade seal.
But...
...his ambition to become the emperor is still the same.
I will never give my throne to him.
Not because I'm reluctant to give up the throne,
but I have my own ambition.
Although King Zhang is talented,
but he's too young.
He should be trained for few years more.
Uyghur invaded...
...because the Imperial Flaming Bead is missing...
...and everyone is panicking.
If we can't stabilise the situation of the borderland,
it will be Your Majesty's disadvantage.
I know that.
But Uyghur is greedy and belligerent.
We have to figure a way...
...to force them to make peace with us...
...at least cost.
Your Majesty care about your people...
...and put everything before yourself.
Our people are lucky to have you.
I have an urgent matter...
...for you to attend to.
Please give me your order, Your Majesty.
I want you to investigate every move of...
...Hua Wu Huan and King Zhang secretly.
Do not let King Zhang to leave Chang An.
Your Majesty is worried that King Zhang...
...might send the troops without permission?
King Zhang has gained the support...
...from young turks to lead the troops.
Hua Wu Huan...
...will definitely take this advantage to strengthen his power.
I understand.
I will follow the order.
As the emperor,
Brother is kind-hearted...
...but not bold enough.
He claimed that he can only be tolerant...
...for the sake of the people.
But now,
the enemy is approaching to us.
He wanted to make peace with them.
It humiliates the dignity of our dynasty.
Your Highness.
If you have a chance...
...to go back to Luo Yang secretly...
...and lead the troops to the borderland,
do you dare to do so?
For the sake of our country,
why not?
Is Your Highness determined...
...to exterminate Uyghur...
...and make contributions to the country before you report it...
...no matter what?
A general in the field is not bound by the orders from his sovereign.
I'll do my best to protect the borderland.
If I fail,
I'm willing to take the responsibility.
I have no worries...
...since Your Highness is determined.
I will try my best...
...to assist Your Highness.
Cou Er.
This trip is dangerous.
You have to be careful.
I will be careful.
Don't worry, my lady.
His Majesty refuses to send the troops.
I don't have the chance to lead the troops...
...and defeat the enemy if I don't go back to Luo Yang.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
I'll figure a way out.
Go.
Where are you going in such a hurry?
Wu Huan.
Your Majesty sent someone to keep an eye on me day and night.
You're going to know...
...my whereabouts eventually.
Your Majesty.
Do you suspect I stole...
...the Flaming Bead?
Whoever appear in Zi Cheng Hall when the incident occurred...
...is suspicious.
Even Qing Feng is no exception.
If someone causes chaos and makes someone else the emperor...
...while the Flaming Bead is missing,
it's definitely not Qing Feng's doing.
I'm sure you know better than myself.
Your Majesty once said...
...you're willing to...
...give up your throne if there's someone suitable.
Do you still mean it?
Of course.
I admit King Zhang has the capability and good character...
...to be an emperor.
Tell me.
How is his capability and character as compared to mine?
You're much of a muchness.
That is why I've been tolerating with both of you.
I know.
But Your Majesty is too kind-hearted.
What an emperor needs is tactic.
Is that so?
Ying Zheng was good at using tactics...
...and imposed strict punishments.
Qin empire fell in 15 years.
King Wen ruled the country with compassion.
He cared about his people.
Thus, Zhou Dynasty lasted for 800 years.
Wu Huan.
You're wrong.
Neither is King Zhang not comparable to me...
...nor replacing me.
I was wondering who you are.
It appears that you're General Li Yu Xi.
Why do you stop me?
His Majesty ordered...
...King Zhang to go back to your residence now.
His Majesty has something important to discuss with you.
I guess I have to go back, then.
Please forgive me.
We're here in your residence.
Please get some rest, King Zhang.
It must be hard on you, General Li...
...and fellow Divination Armies.
What?
Do you think I'm going to run away?
To escort Your Highness...
...is my responsibility.
I must be responsible.
Pass my order. Guard this place.
Keep an eye...
...if there's anyone go in and out.
Yes.
You're not going to catch the real King Zhang.
I'll play with you.
Your Majesty.
To avoid our borderland being invaded...
...and Uyghur's morale increases,
King Zhang has made a pledge.
He wouldn't come back if he's unable to defeat Uyghur.
Even if he made a pledge,
I wouldn't allow anyway.
Your Majesty.
General Li Yu Xi request to see you regarding something important.
-Request granted. -Yes.
Your Majesty.
I escorted King Zhang back to his residence last night.
The guards didn't see him leaving.
But when I was going to see King Zhang today,
he was nowhere to be seen.
Nowhere to be seen?
You're saying that King Zhang has left Chang An?
Deputy Head Hua...
...knows better than myself.
King Zhang left Chang An in such a hurry.
He's obeying my order...
...and trying to start a battle without my permission.
Your Majesty, King Zhang...
...swore to defeat Uyghur,
so he made the pledge.
But I have no idea...
...how he left Chang An.
Tell him.
If he sends the troops without my permission,
I will not forgive him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You may go.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
King Zhang sent the troops without permission.
Uyghur is going to think that we go back on our words.
There's no way we could make peace with them.
I have to figure something else out.
-Fu Quan. -Yes.
Order the guards in borderland...
...to lead the people to retreat.
Make sure there are sufficient food and drinks.
Front line warriors must assist King Zhang to fight Uyghur.
-What... -As an emperor,
I should put the people in front of everything else.
Yes.
Yu Xi.
Find the Flaming Bead...
...and bring Lady Huang and Lady Huu back safely.
Wait no more.
I'm counting on you.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I can't believe you helped King Zhang...
...to leave Chang An without discussing with me.
Can't I do that?
It's not that you can't do that.
But it's very risky.
Luckily nothing happened.
What if Li Yu Xi finds out?
Are you worried about me?
I'm worried about King Zhang.
Don't get King Zhang involved if you want to joke around.
By the way.
Regarding the incident of the Flaming Bead,
we can only take action after King Zhang is back with victory.
Why?
If His Majesty gets the Flaming Bead...
...before that,
His Majesty...
...is going to have another plan to deal with King Zhang.
Our efforts will go to waste, then.
So this is your concern.
Don't worry.
Nobody is going to take the Flaming Bead away from me.
Absolutely impossible.
I'm glad to hear that.
I know you're good at playing tricks...
...and is capable of doing something everyone can't.
But I hope...
...you'd tell me...
...before you do anything.
Don't do it without my permission.
It'll depends on my mood.
I figured it out.
I'll go back to the palace tomorrow morning.
What?
But you're the suspect of stealing the Flaming Bead.
If you go back before they find out the truth,
you'll get yourself arrested.
If I don't go back,
how can His Majesty find the Flaming Bead?
So,
you're going back to prove the Flaming Bead...
...was destroyed by Cui Huang and Hua Wu Huan.
And prove that...
...they framed you.
Are you going to tell on Cui Huang?
Cui Huang and Wu Huan did something bad to me.
They're detestable.
But the Flaming Bead is destroyed.
It makes no difference even if I take revenge on them.
But...
...I wish to go back to the palace...
...and find the broken pieces...
...and recover it.
After all the Flaming Bead represents fortune of the empire.
I'm afraid it'd harm...
...His Majesty if it's destroyed.
Anyway, you're doing this for His Majesty.
All right. I'll go back to the palace with you.
No.
You've just ran away from cold palace.
His Majesty will punish you.
You're not afraid.
Of course I'm not afraid.
Moreover,
I'm going back with you...
...because it's dangerous.
Let's go.
All right.
You may get some rest.
Thanks for your hardwork.
What's that sound?
How dare you...
My ladies.
Enjoy your food, my ladies.
I'll get more if you want.
No.
The food is enough.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Lady Huang is my benefactor.
If it wasn't for her,
I wouldn't have a position here...
...to feed myself and the rats.
As long as my lady needs my help,
I'll definitely help you.
You're great.
My lady.
I heard something in the palace.
They said you stole the Imperial Flaming Bead.
What is going on?
Xiao Hao.
Do you believe me or not?
I don't believe...
You don't believe in Qing Feng?
I haven't finished speaking.
I was going to say...
...I don't believe my lady would steal the Flaming Bead.
She taught me that I shouldn't steal.
How could she do the same mistake?
But...
I stole some of your peanuts.
You're here to find some food.
You're not stealing.
Moreover, in the incident of Flaming Bead,
I definitely have faith in you.
Great.
I'm glad you say that.
By the way,
someone framed Qing Feng...
...for stealing the Flaming Bead.
Causing trouble to my lady means causing trouble to me, the Rat King.
Tell me who did it. I'll seek revenge for you.
Don't act hastily.
I come to you...
...because I don't want anyone to find out I'm back.
So I can take action secretly.
What is your plan, my lady?
Find the broken pieces of Flaming Bead.
What can we do if we found them?
Are you going to give them to His Majesty?
It won't prove your innocence...
...and it might make His Majesty thinks that...
...you broke the Flaming Bead.
Then,
His Majesty is going to blame you.
Of course we can't give them to His Majesty.
The Flaming Bead concerns fortune of the country.
If His Majesty knows it's broken,
he'd lose hope.
What are you going to do?
Qing Feng.
You're going to recover the Flaming Bead, aren't you?
You're smart.
Although our power is not strong enough,
we can ask for help from Granny, Elder...
...and Fox Tribe members who have strong power.
You're thoughtful.
But what should we do to find the broken pieces?
We can't move around in the palace.
If we were found out by Cui Huang...
...or get caught by His Majesty,
we'd be dead.
Looking for the broken pieces?
You can leave it to me.
I'm good at spying and stealing.
But...
...you said we shouldn't steal, didn't you?
Cui Huang did you wrong in the first place.
I'm upholding justice by stealing.
We'll leave it to you, then.
I won't come back without getting the Flaming Bead.
Where exactly is it?
I've searched the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
No wonder foxes are sly.
Do you think I'd put...
...such an important thing anywhere?
Huang Qing Feng.
I guess you're back in the palace.
You want the broken pieces of the Flaming Bead?
I'll give them to you.
What's the matter?
Your Majesty.
Deputy Head Hua reported...
...that Lady Hu and Lady Huang are back in the palace.
They're back?
Where are they?
Why isn't he back yet?
Did something happen to him?
Did you find them?
It's all right.
It doesn't matter if you can't find them.
Don't blame yourself.
Yes.
Cui Huang is scheming.
She won't put them anywhere.
What are these?
How dare you trick us?
I was excited.
Check if these are what you're looking for.
Broken pieces of the Flaming Bead.
Great.
You're amazing, Xiao Hao.
How did you find them?
I couldn't find them after I searched the whole Zi Lan Palace.
Then,
Cui Huang came back.
So I followed her quietly.
She was digging a hole under the tree...
...and covered it with soil.
I dug it out after she left.
It's broken pieces of the Flaming Bead.
Fancy finding by sheer luck...
What one has searched for far and wide.
Yes.
Oh, no. It's a trap.
A trap?
She has her purpose to hide the broken pieces.
She won't let us find it easily.
She wants us to find it...
...and catch us red-handed.
A team of guards are coming towards here.
My ladies.
You should go now.
Okay.
Search over there.
-Yes. -Hurry up.
-Over there. -This way.
Go.
Qing Feng.
Your Majesty.
Go now, Qing Feng.
Leave it to me.
Go ahead and do what you should do.
Go after her.
Yes.
Hurry up.
Your Majesty.
Please forgive Qing Feng.
Fei Luan.
Your Majesty.
I wouldn't let go even if you punish me.
Your Majesty.
You should believe Qing Feng.
She was framed.
If you must punish someone,
punish me, then.
Your Majesty.
You did me wrong in the first place.
Don't blame me for being merciless.
What?
Lady Huang.
You want to work here?
Keeping quiet?
I guess you were going to frame me...
...for stealing the Flaming Bead.
You can't deny, can you?
Well.
You're in trouble yourself.
How dare you frame Deputy Head Hua?
You're such a vicious woman.
Vicious?
Don't forget...
...you're the culprit.
Moreover,
I learn it from you.
I'm giving you a taste of your medicine.
That's enough.
Stop arguing.
Zhou Zhu is searching for you.
Stop playing tricks.
You won't get away with it.
Is that so?
All right.
They're here just in time.
Surround this place.
Your Majesty.
What are you doing here, Your Majesty?
Guards.
Arrest Deputy Head Hua and Lady Huang.
Yes.
Go.
The Flaming Bead is a treasure of our country.
But it's broken into pieces.
Who is going to...
...give me an explanation?
Your Majesty.
I feel bad for the broken of Flaming Bead, too.
But...
...Lady Huang was trying to frame me.
I've caught her red-handed.
I hope Your Majesty will judge it fairly.
Lady Huang.
Were you trying to frame Deputy Head Hua?
I'm aware of...
...the importance of the Flaming Bead to the country and Your Majesty.
It's a capital crime to break it.
When Your Majesty arrived,
Deputy Head Hua and I were there.
Any explanation wouldn't be able to clear our name.
So,
in order to make everyone relieved, please give a death sentence...
-...to Deputy Head Hua and I. -You...
Since both of us claim that we're innocent,
you can always trump up a charge against us.
The person who can accept it and prove his innocence with death...
...is innocent.
Your Majesty.
I think what Lady Huang said make sense.
This is a serious matter.
The person who broke the Flaming Bead is up to something.
He's trying to do something bad.
Rather wrong the innocent than let the guilty go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Please give me a death sentence.
This is...
...the respawn bracelet I gave you.
I care for you.
I love you.
I forgave you again and again.
But...
...you don't even care for yourself.
It'd be useless even if...
...I want to save your life.
I'm happy to know...
...that I mean a lot...
...to Your Majesty.
All right.
I'll grant your wish.
Guards.
Send Huang Qing Feng and Hua Wu Huan...
...into the prison.
Yes.
It's exactly what I expected.
This is not the real Flaming Bead.
The Flaming Bead is fake?
Why did Lady Huang risk her life...
...to fake it?
She even asked for a death sentence.
She's smart.
She has her plan for doing so.
I guess...
...she trying to use Hua Wu Huan's dead and her dead...
...to force the culprit...
...to hand out the real Flaming Bead.
Lady Huang is indeed an extraordinary woman.
She can even bet on her own life.
But it's too risky.
If I was suspicious of her,
I'm afraid she's...
Who's that?
It's me.
What are you doing here?
I'm passing you a message by the command of my lady.
How dare you do that.
Huang Qing Feng.
You know I couldn't bear to see Wu Huan dies.
So you're using his life...
...to force me to recover the Flaming Bead.
You win.
Greetings to Your Majesty.
I won't die...
...because you're here.
Do you know...
...if I took it seriously,
you'd be dead?
You knew what I'm thinking.
So you did what I said, didn't you?
I know you were risking your life.
You wanted to force the culprit to hand out...
...the Flaming Bead with your lives.
So you gave me the respawn bracelet.
You were hinting that you believe in me...
...and you will save my life.
Right?
Tell me.
Who stole the Flaming Bead?
Was it Hua Wu Huan or someone behind him?
Qing Feng.
What are you doing?
Get up.
Please stop investigating this matter.
Get up first.
Please promise me first...
...or I won't get up.
Is the person important to you?
She's bad for framing me about stealing the Flaming Bead.
But she did that to help Deputy Head Hua.
She didn't mean to make me die.
So,
I don't want to drive her into a corner.
Okay.
Since you want to save her,
I promise...
...I won't take any action against her for now.
Get up.
Tell me.
What are you going to do?
Please give an order to behead both of us.
Only then...
...the person who stole the Flaming Bead...
...will return it.
Do you know you'll lose your life...
...if I give the order?
Are you confident your plan is going to work?
This person is in love with Deputy Head Hua.
She won't watch him die.
I believe...
...she will return it.
All right.
I'll do what you asked for.
Don't worry.
I won't let anything happen to you.
