"Beauty in The Closet" "Episode 28"
By the mandate of heaven, this imperial decree hereby says...
...Hua Wu Huan is suspected of stealing the Flaming Bead.
He is unforgivable.
If you can't return it to prove your innocence,
you'll be beheaded in the noon tomorrow.
That is all.
Deputy Head Hua.
Your Majesty instructed that...
...if you manage to return the Flaming Bead by tomorrow,
he can spare your life.
Think about it.
Wu Huan.
What are you doing here?
We're running out of time.
Tell me.
Is His Majesty going to behead you?
He's given an imperial decree.
This can't be.
I can't let you die.
And Qing Feng...
I didn't mean to let her die.
I was just trying to chase her out of the palace.
I don't care.
I'll recover the Flaming Bead.
Wait a minute.
What's the matter?
This is her trick.
Your Majesty does this...
...because he knows you'll hand out the Flaming Bead.
I can't risk your life.
I don't believe...
...His Majesty will kill Lady Huang.
I don't believe...
...he will kill me, too.
Because of your friendship long ago?
Don't be silly.
Since the day you decided to make King Zhang the emperor,
your friendship has long gone.
I disappoint him.
But I know him well.
I want to make a bet.
What if you're wrong?
Don't act hastily.
Don't hand the Flaming Bead out yet.
Okay.
Be extra careful.
Are you still thinking about recovering the Flaming Bead?
I don't know what should I do.
Should I use it to save Wu Huan's life?
Wu Huan said it's a trick.
Even if His Majesty doesn't think about their friendship,
he's sure that His Majesty will not kill Lady Huang.
I don't want to take the risk.
His Majesty won't kill Lady Huang...
...doesn't mean he won't kill Wu Huan.
But...
...if you recover the Flaming Bead,
all our efforts will go to waste.
One wrong move may lose the whole game.
Should I bet on Wu Huan's life?
Now!
Your Majesty, Zi Cheng Hall...
Stop!
His Majesty ordered...
...to pardon Hua Wu Huan and Huang Qing Feng.
Bring them back to the imperial court.
The Flaming Bead is placed back in Zi Cheng Hall.
It proves that Huang Qing Feng and Hua Wu Huan who were on the...
...execution ground didn't steal it.
So I take my order back and free the both of them.
It's all right now.
It must be hard on you these few days.
With you here,
I will not die.
I'm back to your side...
...after you gave the order.
Were you...
...worried about...
...trusted me wrongly...
...and I might get myself killed?
No.
I weren't worried about your tactic...
...and I trust you completely.
I trust my judgement, too.
I'm sure Hua Wu Huan's accomplice...
...will never let him die.
They will definitely help him.
Because without Hua Wu Huan,
King Zhang's team will be like...
...birds without wings...
...and cars without wheels.
It appears that you've expected this.
I thought...
...you'll be worried about me.
I was worried about you.
Qing Feng.
Do you know when you were brought to the execution ground,
I was very anxious.
I wish I could go to the execution ground to save you.
I knew...
...you will not make me suffer.
Qing Feng.
You've made contributions.
I will reward you.
Tell me.
What do you want?
I can give you whatever you want.
Your Majesty.
I only have one favour to ask.
It's about Fei Luan.
Where's Fei Luan?
Fei Luan...
Fei Luan doesn't want to be back to Zi Lan Palace.
She thinks...
...she should stay in cold palace.
She would rather stay in cold palace...
...than come back to be my consort?
Your Majesty.
Fei Luan doesn't want to stay in the palace.
Her biggest hope...
...is to be free.
I hope Your Majesty could forgive her.
Is she...
...going to be so heartless?
I just want the both of you...
...to be by my side forever.
Your Majesty.
I know you couldn't bear to leave Fei Luan.
Don't you wish to see her smile...
...and live a happy life?
The word...
...means I'm praying for His Majesty.
She's praying for me again.
I thought...
...she has me in her heart.
She's alone here in cold palace.
She must be lonely.
Fu Quan.
Tell Qing Feng to accompany her.
Yes.
The Flaming Bead was missing...
...and everyone is panic.
Uyghur was trying to invade.
When they knew about King Zhang leading the troops,
they weren't frightened by us,
they further intensified their efforts instead.
If we keep avoiding to start a battle,
we're showing our weakness to Uyghur.
They will be even more aggressive...
...to invade our country in the future.
Your Majesty said natural disasters happened one after another.
We've spent a lot of resources because of that.
If we send the troops out now,
I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to recover our loss.
So I don't suggest to start a battle.
Rather to fight and make peace.
I plan to send a group of troops...
...to slip into Uyghur's base...
...and attack Uyghur's General.
To catch bandits, first catch the ringleader.
As long as their General has scruple to us,
then,
we have the leverage to make peace with them.
So,
not only can we save military strength,
we can also show our courage and prestige.
Who are you planning to send?
I've chosen a suitable person for it.
Your Majesty.
King Zhang has return to Luo Yang.
He's ready to lead the troops.
King Zhang suggested...
...to send the troops...
...and made a pledge.
Please allow King Zhang to lead the troops...
...and build reputation for our country.
Please allow King Zhang to lead the troops.
To build reputation for the country...
...or for your own?
King Zhang is always ready to take on arduous tasks.
I am glad about that.
But the person I chose was...
...Li Yu Xi.
I obey Your Majesty's order.
I believe you will accomplish your mission.
Your Majesty.
What should I do to make peace with them...
...after I take their General down?
I have a plan.
It's mollification policy.
Make Uyghur's General as the County King.
Give him some territories...
...and ruled by our country.
Your Majesty want...
...Uyghur to give in to us willingly.
That's right.
Make him the County King,
acknowledge their authority...
...and make them a part of our country.
So,
we can show our kindness to them...
...and upholding our prestige at the same time.
This is a wise decision.
I will try my best...
...and live up to your expectations.
All right.
With loyal officers like you,
our country will definitely be prosperous.
May the country be prosperous forever.
Long live, Your Majesty.
You can't go in, Officer Quan.
Officer Quan.
How dare you come into The Hall of Supreme Harmony without permission.
Please forgive me.
I have something important to report to Your Majesty.
It doesn't matter.
You may go first.
Yes.
You may rise.
What's the matter?
I heard Your Majesty...
...is going to send General Li to Uyghur.
Please allow me to go along...
...to pray for soldiers on the borderland.
That's a good intention.
But why should you go to Uyghur personally?
Isn't it better to conduct the ceremony in the palace?
The battle is extremely dangerous.
Officer Quan.
I don't recommend you to go along.
I am worried about Li Yu Xi.
So I want to go with him.
To overcome difficulties and go through think and thin with him.
General Li and you...
Your Majesty, Officer Quan is daughter of General Wang.
General Li is student of General Wang.
It's understandable for them to fall in love with each other.
Your Majesty.
Yu Xi doesn't know I'm going to make this request.
I just hope my loved one is safe.
Please grant my wish, Your Majesty.
It seems what Fu Quan said is right.
But I can't grant your wish.
Why?
I know you love General Li.
If you do love each other,
General Li wouldn't allow you to take the risk.
If you do care about him,
stop insisting on this.
Besides General Li,
there are a lot of matters that need your assistance in the palace.
If you can stay in the palace,
General Li...
...can be rest assured and go for the battle.
I understand.
I was acting on impulse and made such an unreasonable request.
Please forgive me.
I understand.
Love...
...tends to make people lose their mind.
This is the letter from your lover.
I'm glad you're here.
Thank you, Xiao Hao.
Don't mention it. I'll go now.
Thank you.
"Fei Luan."
"I will be going to the borderland tomorrow..."
"...to fight with Uyghur."
"This battle is dangerous."
"They are outnumbered."
"Life and death is uncertain."
"But for you,"
"no matter how dangerous the situation will be,".
"I will come back alive."
"I promise,".
"I will not leave you alone again."
"I will be back with my contributions."
"And take you away from cold palace..."
"...to be my wife."
Yu Xi.
Promise me,
you must come back safely.
If you can't,
I will go with you.
We will not leave each other.
Deputy Head, I have checked with Xiao Chun...
...at Zi Lan Palace by your command.
He said since the Flaming Bead is placed back...
...and Lady Huang is returned to Zi Lan Palace,
he didn't see...
...and hear from Cui Huang.
Why did she go disappear all of a sudden?
Keep looking for her.
Remember, you must stay low.
Yes.
My lady.
Hua Wu Huan.
Are you blind?
Don't you see me?
What are you doing here, Lady Huang?
Come nearer.
I have something to tell you.
We aren't close...
...to the extent...
...to share secrets.
It has something to do with Cui Huang.
Cui Huang.
Your palace maid?
-Yes. -I'm not interested.
I'm not close with Lady Huang's palace maid.
I have nothing to do with her.
If Cui Huang hears this,
she will be sad.
Stop pretending.
If you're not close,
why did she save your life with the Flaming Bead?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I have a lot of matters to attend to.
I'm too busy to serve you. I'm sorry.
Cui Huang has been missing...
...since the incident of the Flaming Bead.
Don't you want to know where is she?
Did you ever wonder...
...Cui Huang's real identity?
She's been helping you.
Give advice to King Zhang and yourself.
Don't you think...
...she's too powerful...
...as a palace maid?
What are you trying to say?
I'm not trying to say anything.
I want you to see for yourself.
Are you sure...
...you see Consort Qiu,
but not someone else?
Don't look at me that way.
If you want to know the answer,
eat this.
It's easy to crack Illusion.
Distract her...
...and make her fall in love with you.
I'm serious.
Whoever started the trouble should end it.
Cui Huang likes you.
You're the only one she falls in love with.
Don't you...
...know...
...how to make a woman to fall in love with you?
Are you sure you see Consort Qiu,
but not someone else?
Wu Huan.
What are you doing here?
It's you.
How did this happen?
It must be Huang Qing Feng's doing.
Where is Consort Qiu?
Why did you turn into her appearance?
She's fine.
Don't worry.
Why did you turn into her appearance?
Tell me.
And...
...who exactly are you?
If you don't tell me today,
don't blame me for being merciless.
I'm not human.
I'm a fox spirit who has 500 years of power.
I turned into Consort Qiu's appearance...
...is to help you fulfill your wish...
...and at the same time, to help the Fox Tribe in Mount Li.
Because my family live there.
My lady knows this.
She knows?
I used illusion to confuse her...
...and helped you secretly with her appearance.
She found out.
So I confessed to her.
She didn't blame me.
Instead, she told me to help you...
...to make King Zhang the emperor using her identity.
She wants you to keep...
...disguising as her?
Why?
Because...
Because I like you.
I love you.
Although you didn't say it,
but I know you like the Consort Qiu I disguised as.
You like me, too.
You have feelings for me.
Right?
Wu Huan.
I like you.
I really like you.
You're disgusting.
Do you think...
...you can bewilder me?
Do you think...
...you're comparable to Consort Qiu?
You over estimated yourself.
Let me tell you the truth.
No matter what trick you use,
or what appearance you turn into,
you're just...
...a shameless fox demon to me.
You're an animal.
What did you say?
Did you not listen clearly...
...or do you want to listen more?
I said...
...you're a shameless animal.
How dare you say...
...I'm a shameless animal?
If you think my love to you...
...is shameless,
all right, then.
I admit it.
I can't believe you said I'm an animal.
Hua Wu Huan.
Although I'm not human,
but I've done so much for you.
I'm not asking for return.
I don't think I can move you either.
But at least...
...give me some respect.
Just because you've helped me,
I spared your life.
I didn't kill you.
I can't believe you want me to respect you.
Cui Huang.
Are you out of your mind because you've casted...
...too much spell?
Get out of Hua Er Hall now.
Go as far away as you can.
I don't want...
...to see you again.
Otherwise,
don't blame me for being merciless.
Hua Wu Huan.
I never thought you're such a cruel person.
I made a mistake.
Tell me.
What trick did you use...
...to make Wu Huan knows about my real identity?
I won't let you get away with it.
What? Your real identity was revealed by Hua Wu Huan,
so you're angry?
-It serves you right. -You..
Do you know...
...you've destroyed the relationship I've been protecting?
From now on,
Wu Huan will never look at me again.
It's all your fault.
Why is it my fault?
Hua Wu Huan...
...only likes Consort Qiu from the very beginning.
You know better than anyone else who he has feelings for.
Shut up.
No.
Hua Wu Huan never really looked at you.
I was just helping him to find out your real identity.
Think about it.
The love you get with Consort Qiu's appearance...
...will not last.
Moreover,
you framed me with the Flaming Bead,
I was just taking a small revenge.
It's nothing compared to what you did to me.
You're a weasel who's overconfident.
If Li Han finds out...
...you're actually a weasel,
I'm afraid his reaction...
...would be bigger than Wu Huan.
Just you wait.
I will...
...make you regret one day.
Get lost.
No.
His Majesty won't do that to me.
I'm not frightened by your words.
Wu Huan.
I promised Cui Huang...
...not to get involved in between the two of you.
But now,
I have to say this.
If you let her go,
you'll regret for the rest of your life.
My lady.
Don't trust her.
She's just a fox demon.
She's evil.
Cui Huang is not here.
You don't have to say something you don't mean it.
Cui Huang didn't harm you...
...and me.
To save you and recover the Flaming Bead,
she used up all her energy.
Used up all her energy?
Yes.
I was there.
I watched her used up all her energy...
...and almost lost her life.
She's deeply in love with you.
Even a rock will be moved by her.
Wu Huan.
You shouldn't do that to her.
I've never asked her to do anything for me.
So,
what you said...
...did not change how I think about her.
She's a demon. She's evil.
Please...
...don't ever mention about her again.
Do you think you can stop thinking of her?
Won't you think of her when you see me?
Even if I think of her,
there's only hatred.
I hate her for using you to cheat me.
Wu Huan.
You're saying this...
...because you want to get rid of your feelings to her.
How...
How would I have feelings to a fox demon?
My lady.
What's wrong with you?
Why are you siding...
...the person who stole your identity?
You must be under the influence of her demonic magic.
You're out of your mind.
You do know what I'm talking about.
Wu Huan.
You have your own reasons.
You can also convince yourself with thousands of reasons.
It's the right thing to do.
But you know best...
...what do you feel.
I just want you to know that...
...if you fool yourself and others,
you'll regret.
I know what I'm doing.
Don't worry.
Don't leave me.
Don't leave me alone.
Your Majesty.
I won’t leave you alone.
I will never do that.
How could I bear to leave you?
Why are you doing this?
You made me angry with you...
...and punish you...
...before you tell me the truth.
Your Majesty, I...
I know.
I gave you a hard time.
I made you suffer.
Send Lady Hu to The Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Yes.
-Your Majesty, I.. -Stop talking.
Regaining your health...
...is the priority now.
Do it now.
Yes.
Your Majesty, please allow me to go back.
You can't go anywhere besides here.
Stay here.
I...
Your Majesty.
I want to see His Majesty.
-It's Qing Feng. -Your Majesty.
Rest well here.
Imperial Physician will treat you later.
Don't worry.
I will not spend the night here...
...before you recover.
If you keep questioning my integrity,
I will get angry.
Your Majesty, if you don't remove Fei Luan's title...
...and send her back to cold palace,
I don't want to be Lady Huang anymore.
Lady Huang.
This is the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
You don't know anything at all.
Your Majesty.
If you don't let Fei Luan go,
just remove my title.
You're rude, Lady Huang.
Are you done shouting?
Do you know what you're doing?
If you don't send Fei Luan back today,
I don't want...
...to be Lady Huang.
I'm different with you.
I won't go back on my words.
You...
Since you want to go to cold palace,
I'll grant your wish.
Guards.
Send her to cold palace now.
Yes.
Why are you so cruel?
I was wrong about you.
Let go of me.
I'm not hungry.
Stop growling.
My lady, it's time to eat.
What is that?
Is that food for pig?
It's not enough even if it's for pig.
Officer said...
...this is His Majesty's order.
What?
His Majesty?
-Get out now. -Yes.
His Majesty's order.
He gave me promise...
...and put on the bracelet for me.
He said he will keep me safe.
But he won't give me a proper meal now.
Stupid Li Han.
I wanted to save Fei Luan...
...and you're going to kill me.
You're cruel and merciless.
No.
If I die,
nobody is going to protect Fei Luan.
I have to save my energy.
You can do it, Huang Qing Feng.
I won't give up.
I will never give up.
I don't want her to suffer.
Your Majesty.
If Lady Huang sees you...
...standing here,
she's going to cause more troubles just because you feel sorry for her.
In my opinion,
we should teach her a lesson.
With her temper,
the Harem will be in chaos...
...if we don't keep her under control.
Lady Hu.
The medicine is becoming cold.
Where are you?
Is everything fine?
Reporting to Your Majesty.
Lady Hu refused to take medicine.
She keeps holding a piece of jade.
There's nothing I can do.
What are you holding?
Why are you being secretive?
This is given by him.
He made you miss him...
...to the extent that you ignore me...
...even if I'm standing in front of you?
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.
I know...
...it's a capital crime...
...to have an affair with someone else...
...as your consort.
I love him so much.
I can't help missing him.
You're so cruel to me.
I keep forgiving you.
I love you.
Don't you feel grateful to me?
Can't you just pay attention to me...
...for a second?
Just because you were good to me...
...and I feel grateful to you.
That's why I don't want to lie to you.
You couldn't let go of me,
just like...
...I couldn't let go...
...the person I love.
You...
Please...
Please forgive me.
Please remove my title.
Send me into cold palace...
...or chase me out of the palace.
I will have no regrets.
Even if you want to give me a death sentence,
I will accept it.
You would rather die...
Do you think...
Damn it.
I just couldn't be cruel to you.
Guards.
Yes.
-Your Majesty. -Send Lady Hu to Zi Lan Palace.
Lady Hu has yet to recover.
Bring Huang Qing Feng back.
Tell her to take care of Lady Hu.
Your Majesty.
Are you going to ignore my order too?
No, Your Majesty.
This way, please.
Officer Wang.
I have an urgent news to report to His Majesty.
His Majesty is inside.
Please.
Please, my lady.
Officer Wang.
Since General Zhou has something to report,
I don't want to trouble you.
I can go back on my own.
Sedan chair is out there.
Please.
All right.
Zhou Zhu, you come back from the borderland overnight,
did something happen there?
Reporting to Your Majesty.
General Li led our troops to ambush Uyghur's base...
...and defeated their troops.
He killed their general on his own.
Uyghur is defeated and their soldiers are captived.
We've announced an imperial decree.
Leader of the tribe is conferred with the title County King.
It is a vassal state of our country.
The battle is resolved.
Great.
General Li and you...
...defeated them even if they're outnumbered.
You made a great contribution to our country.
I will definitely reward you.
Where's General Li?
General Li...
...was injured by the enemy.
He is seriously injured.
His life is at stake.
What?
Why is Fei Luan not back yet?
His Majesty has ordered to send her back to Zi Lan Palace.
What's wrong with you?
Qing Feng.
I heard a news in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Yu Xi...
Yu Xi is seriously injured...
...and his life is at stake.
I may never see him again.
Take it easy.
Think positively.
Li Yu Xi pratises Wushu.
He's strong.
He won't die easily.
I must go and find him.
I have to be by him side no matter what.
I understand.
Leave the palace and look for him now.
But...
But if I go out...
...and His Majesty found out...
I know how to deal with him.
-Check it out. -Let's go.
Are you all right, Qing Feng?
Summon Imperial Physician.
Go now.
Qing Feng.
What are you waiting for?
If something happened to me,
His Majesty is going to kill all of you.
Go.
Yes.
Go now.
Remember.
No matter what happened to Yu Xi,
you have to control yourself.
Do not let others find out you're together.
Understand?
Yes.
Wait no more. Go now.
Go.
