"Beauty in The Closet" "Episode 29"
Yu Xi.
Yu Xi, wake up.
Fei Luan.
Am I having an illusion?
What are you doing here?
I've heard that you're injured.
I'm worried about you.
So I came to see you.
I'm sorry.
I've made you worried about me.
I'm glad you're fine.
Don't worry.
Before I get married to you,
I will not die.
I promise...
...that I will make a name for myself.
So that I can...
...ask His Majesty to let us get married.
Where's Fei Luan?
Tell me.
I don't know.
I really don't know.
My answer would be the same.
Three words,
I don't know.
I'm not going to...
...let it go at that.
If I find out that you have something to do with it,
I will not forgive you.
All right.
You must have evidence.
Words cannot be used as evidence.
Your Majesty.
Fei Luan's lover is Li Yu Xi?
How did you know?
No, I mean...
How could it be?
Stop lying to me.
When Fei Luan went out of town,
she asked for directions from a soldier.
Fei Luan.
Li Yu Xi.
All of you are lying to me.
I will never forgive you.
Your Majesty.
-No. -Zhou Zhu.
-Yes. -Get the horse ready.
I'll go get Lady Hu personally.
I'll see how you are going to defend yourselves.
Your Majesty.
Fei Luan is so stupid.
What should I do?
Yu Xi.
I don't want to go.
You've not recovered yet.
I want to stay here to look after you.
I don't want you to go, too.
But if His Majesty found out,
all our efforts would go to waste.
Don't worry.
As soon as I get things done,
I'll go back gloriously...
...and ask His Majesty to marry you to me.
Wait for me.
I will move His Majesty with my sincerity.
His Majesty is considerate.
He will definitely help us.
I wonder when can His Majesty...
...overcome the effect of the Charm Fruit.
What are you talking about?
I...
I was saying...
I was saying His Majesty...
...couldn't put down his self-esteem for now.
I know.
I've been thinking about...
...the obstacles we're going to face.
I will try...
...as long as there's hope.
I can't let you wait without hope.
Don't act hastily, Yu Xi.
We'll...
We'll get approval from His Majesty...
...when the time is right.
But when is the best time to do that?
Fei Luan.
I've finally found you.
What are you doing here?
His Majesty has found out about Li Yu Xi and you.
He's bringing a group of people to look for you.
What?
Why?
-What happened? -We're running out of time.
Go now. Don't let them find you.
You have to be careful.
Don't get caught by His Majesty.
Don't worry about me. Take care of yourselves.
-Be careful. -Okay.
Go after them, Wu Huan.
Stop chasing them.
Stop chasing them, Your Majesty.
-Get out of my way. -No.
Get out of my way.
No.
Get out of my way.
Your Majesty.
Where are they?
We've lost them.
But...
...I think they're hiding near here.
Your Majesty.
Do you want us to go after them?
Wu Huan.
Keep searching.
Qing Feng.
Leave me alone.
-I hurt you. -Leave me alone.
-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
I thought...
...you would think about our relationship.
No matter how anxious you were,
no matter how hard it was to control yourself,
you'd stop.
I thought you wouldn't be cruel to me.
I wasn't asking you to stop chasing Fei Luan,
Can you at least...
...look at me...
...and hesitate?
But you didn't.
You didn't do that at all.
You hit me just like that.
Now I know...
...I'm nothing...
...to you.
I have no place in your heart.
You've smashed...
...the last expectation...
...I have for you.
That's not true, Qing Feng.
That's not true.
I don't know why...
...whenever I see Lady Hu, I'd...
I'll bring you back to the palace to treat your wound.
No.
It appears that...
...when your heart is hurt,
you won't feel any other pain at all.
The hope...
...I have all the time...
...and those minor favors from you...
...are...
...nothing.
Qing Feng.
Your Majesty.
Let go.
I...
I don't ever want to see you again.
Never ever.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Yu Xi.
You should go back to the base.
If His Majesty couldn't find me...
...and couldn't see you in the base,
he will definitely be suspicious of us.
You should go back.
How will you go back, then?
I...
I can't go back for now.
I have to find Qing Feng.
Find Qing Feng?
No.
There are a lot of guards out there.
What if they found you?
I can't think about that.
There's nothing I can do.
Moreover,
Yu Xi,
Qing Feng blocked His Majesty because of me.
I can't leave her.
Don't worry.
His Majesty won't hurt me.
All right.
You must be careful.
Fei Luan.
Be careful.
I'll go now.
Deputy Head Hua.
Don't worry.
Go now.
What do you mean?
You better go back to the base now, General Li.
Anyway,
don't let His Majesty finds out you're with Lady Hu.
No man...
...would allow their wife...
...to be with another man.
What's more, he's the emperor.
Thank you.
I will repay your kindness...
...one day.
I'll go now.
Your Majesty.
We didn't find them.
Should we keep searching?
Yes.
Keep searching.
You must find Lady Huang.
Find Lady Huang?
I hurt her.
I hurt her...
...because I wanted to go after Lady Hu.
What have I done?
I wouldn't even forgive myself,
let alone her.
You should let it go...
...if you know...
...you can't get it and keep it.
Are you giving me advice?
I'm not eligible...
...to talk about love.
It's just what I think for the moment.
But I understand you, Your Majesty.
You didn't mean...
...to hurt Lady Huang.
You must be feeling...
...even worse than Lady Huang.
No matter how hurt I am,
I wouldn't win her heart back.
One day, she will understand...
...that you care for her.
Qing Feng is in my heart.
I remember...
...every smile of hers.
I like her smile.
I know...
...Lady Hu has no feelings for me.
I shouldn't be persistent.
But I don't know why...
...my feelings for Lady Hu are so deep.
I'm dying to get her.
I demand more after I got her.
After listening to what you've said,
if I'm not mistaken,
your feelings for the both of them are different.
One is true love.
The other one is obsession.
True love.
Obsession.
If I can't have them both...
Wu Huan.
If you were me,
what would you choose?
You've asked the wrong person.
I'm not a man.
Love...
...has nothing to do with me.
I couldn't have love...
...and be in love.
Gather the guards.
Find Lady Huang first.
Yes.
Where can she be?
Is Lady Huang here?
Your Majesty.
Both of them are not back yet.
You may leave.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What are you doing here, Fei Luan?
What are you doing here, Your Majesty?
Qing Feng is in Mount Li.
I'm going to find her.
Your Majesty.
You don't have to go to Mount Li.
Qing Feng is here.
Come out now, Qing Feng.
Are you going to hide from His Majesty forever?
Please forgive me.
Don't leave me.
It's useless.
You don't have to say anymore.
Your Majesty.
You can't have...
...what you can't have.
I give up.
I'm sorry.
Qing Feng.
You were good to me.
But I hurt you.
And you're willing come back to the palace.
I know you're good to me.
So what?
We...
We're like a circle.
I'm chasing after you,
but you're chasing after Fei Luan.
I tried my best to be good to you.
I just hope...
I just hope I can be as important as Fei Luan to you.
But I'm too foolish.
I think too highly of myself.
In the end,
everything I did for you...
...is nothing compared to a smile of hers.
I'm sorry.
I don't know why...
...I did so much for Fei Luan.
I couldn't control myself.
I can't explain why.
But I do understand...
...I need you.
I need you so much.
So,
please give me one more chance.
Please stay.
Stay?
What can I do if I stay?
I was trying my best to love you.
But...
But I don't know what else I can do...
...to make you like me more.
Don't worry.
I will try my best...
...to protect and love you.
All right?
Can you let go of Fei Luan...
...for me?
No matter how many chances I give you,
everything will be back to the beginning.
Your Majesty.
If you can't let go of Fei Luan,
stop being good to me.
It was my fault...
...from the very beginning.
I shouldn't be having such dreams.
Let go of me.
Qing Feng.
Let go of me.
No, I won't let go.
Let go of me.
Go ahead and bite me.
I'm not going to let you leave.
I hate you.
I'm sorry.
You may hate me. It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault, Your Majesty.
I've eaten the Charm Fruit that can make me bewitch anyone.
That's why you're so besotted with me.
Actually, you don't like me.
You were just confused by the Charm Fruit.
Fei Luan.
My tribe has been living in Mount Li.
We've lived there for many generations.
After the late emperor sealed the mountain...
...and hunted recklessly,
Mount Li is in chaos.
What my brother did...
...was wrong.
Then,
the late emperor ordered to build a temporary imperial palace on Mount Li.
But to build the temporary imperial palace,
trees have to be cut down.
Our home was in danger.
We had no choice...
...but to...
...follow Granny's order...
...to enter the palace and get married to Your Majesty.
And convince Your Majesty to stop building the temporary imperial palace.
So that our home could be safe.
So the purpose of you entering the palace...
...is to...
...stop me from building the temporary imperial palace?
Yes.
To confuse me using demonic magic,
so that...
...I will do whatever both of you say?
Your Majesty.
The Charm Fruit is not something demonic.
It's the sacred item of the nation of Zhe Dong.
Yes, it's the sacred item of the nation of Zhe Dong.
The goddess Nuwa has enchanted it.
It's definitely not something demonic.
There's a legend in the nation of Zhe Dong.
We can use the power of the Charm Fruit...
...to win the heart of the emperor.
So,
in order to win your heart,
we used the power of this sacred item.
So,
this item is working.
So,
I'm obsessed with Fei Luan...
...because of the power of the Charm Fruit?
Yes.
The Charm Fruit...
...was divided into two.
Half of it is sweet...
...and the other half is sour.
Eating the sweet one...
...can win the emperor's heart.
Eating the sour one...
...means...
...to be obsessed with the emperor...
...and suffer.
Fei Luan ate the sweet one.
And you...
...ate the sour one.
I think too highly of myself.
I thought I've done a lot for you.
But I have been under your control all this while.
No, that's not true.
Huang Qing Feng.
What do you have to say?
Are you going to lie to me again and again?
Or are you going to tell me...
...how stupid I am.
I was trying to love someone...
...whom I can't love.
Your Majesty.
I don't want your explanation.
Guards.
Send both of them back to Zi Lan Palace.
They're not allowed to leave there without my permission.
Yes.
Qing Feng.
Give His Majesty some time.
I believe he will understand...
...your sincerity.
Let's go.
Qing Feng.
Are you angry with me?
I know.
I know I acted on impulse today.
No.
Even if you didn't tell him today,
I've always wanted to...
...tell him everything.
I want him to see his heart clearly.
You're good to His Majesty.
But you were hurt again and again because of the Charm Fruit.
I've thought about this more than once.
If this goes on,
it wouldn't be fair...
...to you...
...and me.
That's right.
Instead of struggling and suffering,
we might as well try our luck.
What I'm worried is...
...if His Majesty thinks that we lied to him,
you and Yu Xi...
...might get involved.
Don't worry.
We're not afraid of that.
That's right.
You're so confident.
As your sister, I can't be a coward.
Lady Huang.
His Majesty is waiting for you.
Your Majesty.
I'm here.
Did you love me?
You've eaten the sour fruit.
So your feelings for me...
...is because of the fruit.
No, that's not true.
I admit.
At the beginning,
I liked you because I've eaten the sour fruit.
But every day we spent together...
...is carved...
...in my heart.
I fooled around you everyday.
Loved by you...
...and punished by you every day.
Day after day.
I don't know when did I start...
...to have feelings for you.
Even though...
Even though the effect of the sour fruit is sealed,
I still can't let go...
...and forget about you.
The effect of the sour fruit is sealed?
When I ran away from the palace,
Taoist Yong couldn't bear to see me suffering...
...because of the sour fruit.
So he sealed the effect of the sour fruit.
So that I can...
...forget about you...
...and leave for good.
But...
...you're back anyway.
Yes.
I'm still back.
This time,
there's no Charm Fruit...
...but true love.
Your Majesty.
I'm begging you.
Try to resist the effect of the sweet fruit.
Try to look into your heart.
Try to let go of Fei Luan...
...and yourself.
Can you do that?
Letting go...
...is hard.
Isn't it?
Fei Luan.
Yu Xi.
Fei Luan.
Are you all right?
I was worried about you.
I'm fine.
I'm safe and sound.
I'm glad you're all right.
You had me worried.
His Majesty didn't blame you for leaving the palace without permission?
No.
His Majesty hasn't asked about this matter.
Hasn't asked?
I thought he's angry and hurt Qing Feng?
Because...
...I've told him about the Charm Fruit.
Charm Fruit?
What is Charm Fruit?
I can't believe there's such a thing in the world...
...that can affect human's feelings.
But...
...what will His Majesty do to both of you?
What if...
Actually,
it depends on His Majesty's feelings.
Although the Charm Fruit's power is strong,
but it wasn't planted on His Majesty.
As long as His Majesty is willing to resist...
...and control his feelings,
maybe he can resist the fruit...
...and free me.
I came back with victory.
His Majesty has promised...
...to reward me.
Maybe I should take this chance...
...to ask for a marriage bestowment from him.
Yu Xi.
Before His Majesty makes his opinion clear,
we'd better wait.
I don't want to wait any longer.
Now that His Majesty knows...
...that his feelings for you are not true,
but under the influence of the Charm Fruit.
As a man,
I'd not let my emotions get affected by others...
...and go beyond my control.
Moreover, he's the emperor.
He's a wise king.
Yu Xi, you mean...
...His Majesty will allow us to be together?
Maybe...
...we can be together very soon.
That's great.
That's great, Yu Xi.
The court is over.
Please allow us to leave, Your Majesty.
Deputy Head Hua.
The ministers are reporting that...
...we've managed to defeat Uyghur...
...and win the battle.
If we were to reward according to their contributions,
General Li should receive the most rewards.
I know...
Li Yu Xi is the biggest contributor.
But what if...
...he has an affair with one of my consorts?
Which one is bigger?
His fault or his contributions?
Your Majesty is suspecting...
...that Lady Hu left the palace without permission...
...because of General Li?
But we don't have evidence on this.
The truth will be revealed soon.
Do you want to...
...keep investigating...
...or stop here?
I don't know.
I feel conflicted.
He's made contributions...
...to the country by defeating Uyghur.
He is a talented man.
I am the owner of the palace...
...and the emperor.
To retain talent for the sake of people,
I should stop investigating.
But I am a man after all.
I understand your feelings.
Actually this is all...
...the Charm Fruit's fault.
It's because of the two ladies.
They are the culprits.
I guess you know everything.
They've cheated and confused you with demonic magic.
Luckily Your Majesty is wise.
You didn't lose your rationale because of them.
Otherwise,
it might be like how Da Ji brought chaos to the Shang dynasty.
The country might be destroyed.
So I think...
...we shouldn't tolerate their crime.
They must be punished.
I've thought...
...about what you said.
But they did that...
...because of some reason.
What my brother did in Mount Li was too much.
Both of them risked their lives...
...in order to save their home.
Even if they lied to me,
I think I should forgive them.
-Your Majesty. -Stop it.
Even if they are Da Ji,
I'm definitely not King Zhou.
It's just a matter of love.
I don't believe...
...I'd be affected by such external forces.
I have faith in Your Majesty.
Your Majesty know better than myself...
...whether they are external forces or not.
-Get out of my way. -No.
Get out of my way.
Fu Quan.
Let's go back to the palace.
Your Majesty.
I make bold...
...to beg Your Majesty...
...to make a clean break...
...with these two ladies.
What do you mean?
Your Majesty.
I've served you for many years.
I know you're an affectionate person.
You especially love...
...the both of them.
But in terms of emotion,
you'd feel sadder when you're happier.
You'd feel more hurt when the love is deeper.
I know...
...you're being good to me.
You're right.
I shouldn't let this go on.
I should figure a way out.
My lady.
Something has happened.
My lady.
I'm here.
Something serious has happened.
What happened?
Come here.
Really?
His Majesty has decided to fight the Charm Fruit?
His Majesty is considering...
...to free the both of you.
That's great.
So,
Fei Luan's dream can be fulfilled.
No.
His Majesty is going to...
...send me out of the palace, too?
His Majesty said to send both of you out.
It can't be.
Then, I wouldn't be able to see His Majesty.
No.
I can't leave the palace.
I must figure a way...
...to make His Majesty to only send Fei Luan out.
What's that smell?
It smells weird.
I...
Are you all right, my lady?
Don't come any nearer.
It's the smell on your body.
You seem pregnant...
I got it.
What is it?
You don't want His Majesty to send you out of the palace, do you?
If you're pregnant now,
His Majesty wouldn't send you out of the palace.
Pregnant?
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
Lady Huang is pregnant.
Really?
Yes.
Lady Huang feels discomfort...
...because she's pregnant.
Qing Feng.
Did you hear that?
You're going to be a mother.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
You're going to be a father again.
All right.
Put everything here.
Yes.
Qing Feng.
Where were you just now?
What are these?
Well.
These are the tonics that His Majesty gave for my pregnancy.
Pregnancy?
What?
You're really pregnant?
Stop being sneaky.
Come out now.
I knew it's you.
Why are you still here?
I thought...
...after Hua Wu Huan revealed your real identity,
you'd feel ashamed and leave the palace.
You have thick skin.
I'll take someone with me even if I'm going to die.
Now that my real identity is revealed,
I wouldn't leave if I don't...
...reveal your identity, weasel.
You...
Qing Feng.
Stop quarreling.
I heard...
...you are pregnant.
I'm warning you.
Don't think of harming my baby.
I shall see if the baby is real or not.
What do you mean?
I know.
You're jealous of me.
Qing Feng.
That's right.
You doubt others because you couldn't get what you want.
You...
-Cui Huang. -Huang Qing Feng, I'm warning you.
Don't get cocky.
I will reveal your secret sooner or later.
Go.
Don't worry, Qing Feng.
I will protect you...
...and your baby.
Fei Luan.
I don't have a baby.
So...
...you've faked your pregnancy...
...to distract His Majesty...
...from the pain he gets from resisting the Charm Fruit.
He has a lot to worry about.
I was thinking...
...if I could occupy more of his heart,
I can divert his love for you.
That would lessen his pain, then.
You do have good intentions.
But what if His Majesty finds out?
Don't worry.
I have cast some spells.
Even the Imperial Physician wouldn't find out.
You can hide it for now.
But ten months of pregnancy...
Qing Feng.
What if you can't give birth...
...to a baby by then?
I have thought about it.
For now,
I can only make it real.
I must make my pregnancy real.
Make it real?
His Majesty...
...can't get away from me.
