Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty [Episode 35]
Eunuch Li, you suddenly came. Does Father need something?
This servant comes to deliver the Emperor's secret instructions
I accept the edict.
13th Prince, His Majesty has verbally instructed us not to allow anyone in.
Move aside.
13th Prince, don't put us in a hard position.
If His Majesty wants to summon 13th Prince then he'll send someone
or else, I can let you in 13th Prince.
Yin Xiang. His Majesty isn't feeling well so we won't disturb him
but 13th Prince really misses his father, so can't you just let him go in?
4th Prince.
4th Brother? 4th Brother!
4th Brother, what's wrong?
Father,
has passed away.
Father suddenly passed away so we have to immediately notify everyone
Without delay...
8th Brother.
Why are you here? What happened? Why are you dressed up like this?
Please immediately send troops to 14th send him a message to immediately come back.
I'm afraid that the palace is going to change.
Send troops?
We are winning at the front line; there is no reason to recall the troops.
Could it be related to the throne?
8th Brother, there's no time to explain right now.
If we're late then everything won't be in time.
Okay. I'll immediately send someone to do it.
His Majesty left just like that.
What am I going to do in the future?
In the 61th year of Kang Xi, on Nov 13
this great emperor reached the end of his life.
From the time I was little, I've read about this in history class,
in unofficial historical stories and in novels.
There were all kinds of stories surrounding his death.
But at this moment when I find myself a part of the event,
I then realized
I cannot keep playing the role of a calm and restrained bystander.
-Sister Rong Yue, what's wrong with you? -Rong Yue!
Rong Yue! Someone come.
Take Consort Rong to the imperial physician and let him examine her.
What's important now is the preparation for His Majesty's funeral.
We need to bring all the government officials into the palace to pay homage to the deceased emperor.
I hope that all the consorts
will keep to their respective duties and refrain from disrupting the order within the palace.
Yes, Your Highness.
You may all leave.
13th Prince, let's go back.
Yin Xiang, His Majesty is gone. You shouldn't allow yourself to be overcome by grief.
I should've always been at his place and be by his side.
Your Highness, please wait.
His Majesty had left an imperial edict
that I was instructed to give to you. He wanted you to be in charge of making public the edict.
Your noble consort doesn't know about this.
I know.
Imperial Edict
The 4th prince will be the next emperor.
Father sent a secret message to me through Eunuch Li
asking me to go see him between 9 and 11 p.m.
I was not told why he wanted to see me.
When I got there, I found that
Father
was already deceased.
I am afraid that everything has to do with the succession to the throne.
Greetings, 4th Prince, 13th Prince and 13th Consort.
Consort De would like to see 4th Prince now.
You may leave.
Yes, Your Highness.
What do you want to see me for, Mother?
You should know already.
Don't worry.
You have control of the military both inside and outside of the Forbidden City,
so I won't be taking too much of your time.
I don't understand what you are trying to say.
Now that His Majesty has passed onto the next life, what's important
is the imperial edict and the designation of an heir.
Imperial Edict
Your name is on this edict.
I will accept the edict.
Don't be in a rush to accept the edict.
Since your name is written on it,
I will acknowledge you as the heir that His Majesty chose.
However,
since His Majesty trusted me with the edict,
I will have to make sure his wishes are followed
by disposing of the main obstacle that will thwart you before taking over the throne.
What do you mean?
If you will do this one thing,
I will openly read the edict
and personally hand it to you.
What is it?
I want you to...
Kill the 13th Consort.
8th Brother.
Let's go
Fourth brother
Eight brother, what is the meaning of this? Are you obstructing me from offering a sacrifice to our father？
I would not dare to.
His Majesty passed away suddenly last night;
and you were the only one called to see him.
So we all want to know
What did actually happen yesterday night?
When I arrived in Father's room last night,
he was already deceased.
Really?
Eight brother, don't you believe my words?
That is not the case.
Father put you in charge of guarding Qian Qing Palace and Chang Chun Garden the last few days,
and you took it to such an extreme that
nobody but you was allowed in.
We could not even see our father's face for the last time.
4th brother can't just use one sentence
to cover everything.
I already said what I had to say.
Let me through.
How dare you come to kneel and pay respect to Father?
You do not have this right.
Tenth brother, what do you mean?
The late emperor just passed away and you are talking crazy in front of his dead body.
Are you being unrespectful?
What do I mean?
Are you saying that Father's death has nothing to do with you?
You were the only one there last night.
You can say whatever you want. You said you blocked everyone from Chang Chun Garden
and Qian Qing Palace because of Father's wishes.
But who knows whether that's true or not?
From how I see it, 4th Brother,
you lied about the imperial order and imprisoned Father!
You are being a rebelling prince and son.
You have been planning to kill Father and take his position for a long time!
Stop!
Father's coffin is here and his body is still warm.
And you are talking nonsense here and trying to fight.
Are you really want to disturb Father even in his death
to be settled?
13th Brother is right.
Father just passed away,
but that is why we especially need to find out about the truth.
Then Father will be able to rest in peace.
You are not after the truth.
You only want to falsely accuse 4th Brother.
How can you accuse somebody of such a big crime like killing the emperor just like that?
10th brother has a reckless personality.
He says what he feels but he is not malicious.
He only thinks about Father and voices his own suspicions,
which is also what we think.
9th Brother, every accusation needs to be backed by evidence.
If you rely on suspicion and empty words,
chaos will ensue.
Shouldn't you understand that principle?
Eunuch Li should be able to be a witness as to whether His Majesty
gave an imperial order to 4th Brother concerning Qian Qing Palace. It is especially ridiculous to accuse him of imprisoning His Majesty.
10th Brother,
do you think it's really possible that 4th Brother can usurp His Majesty's power when he was still alive?
-You! -Let's stop bickering.
If there is anything suspicious about the death of the late emperor,
I will find out the truth to let Father rest in peace.
And I can tell the whole world the truth.
Get out of the way.
Justice and Brightness
Your highness is tired.
Take some rest. There are a lot of things waiting for you.
What else can it be?
The late edict.
Late edict?
Daxing Emperor already had the edict.
It's either 4th or 14th. What else can I do?
We can say that. But after Consort De got the edict,
she never shows it to the world.
Maybe in between, there is something hard for Consort De.
What can be hard for her? Both are her sons.
Or--the rumor of 4th prince prisoned Daxing Emperor
and killed the father and take the position is true?
Both the back and the inside part of your hands are hands. Even if it's true,
Consort De will not kill her blood son.
It's not up to her to do what she wants!
Is she ignoring me and all the ministers?
Your highness, don't be mad.
It has been a rumor till now.
The way I see it, it's not important if it's true or false.
What's important is if people believe it or not.
What you mean is--
let people believe that the rumor of killing Father and taking the position is true?
Maybe--it is the truth.
Do you know something?
I just know that 4th prince is tough and ruthless
and he has a lot of enemies in the chancellor. But 14th is different.
Also, your highness was mercy on me and I can't forget it even if I die.
This edict can start such chaos.
This is really interesting.
Your highness. Whether you can turn things around or not
and turn failure into victory and take control again
is up to you.
8th brother and those guys are crossing the line this time!
Whenever it's about 4th brother, they suspect everything and try to stir things up.
Today, they even accused 4th brother of killing the emperor.
I can't take this.
8th brother is spreading rumors in the palace that's bad for 4th brother now.
He is good at this.
He has been spreading rumors many times.
Now we to avoid them using the people
to let the rumor get all over the place.
At that time, even if 4th brother has the edict,
it will not be right.
I think that's exactly what they are planning right now.
So we need to announce the edict right now.
If it takes longer, there will be people suspecting.
What's wrong with the edict? Why wouldn't you announce it?
I will talk to Mother about this.
Since 8th already thinks bad of me,
unless I find solid evidence that it has nothing to do with me,
they will not let it go easily.
Don't worry, 4th brother. I will find out the truth as soon as possible.
I will help 4th brother as much as I can with Ying Xiang.
You guys are harmed too much because of me.
I really don't want you to stuck in the fights.
13th. Don't you always want to stay away from the court?
Why don't you take Xiao Wei--
How is that possible? So many things have been happening.
How can we leave you in trouble with all the accusation yourself?
4th brother doesn't want me and Xiao Wei in this
because you don't trust me?
Of course not.
How can I not understand Brother 13th's heart?
Okay then. If Brother 13th wants to stay,
I will try my best to protect you.
Yin Xiang, you didn't sleep last night and you wouldn't rest today.
I know you're thinking of Father,
and worrying about 4th Brother. But you need to take care of yourself too.
I asked the kitchen to make some spine date seed soup.
It will calm your mind. Go eat some.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Why are you being so nice to me today?
Aren't I nice to you everyday?
I am capable of taking care of you occasionally,
so you should be grateful and not take it for granted.
You said last night that after Father met you,
and when you got back to the Buddhist temple, it was not dark yet.
It was not sunset yet.
Then it's around 5 to 7 p.m.
Father asked 4th Brother to go see him between 9 and 11 p.m.
It's a long time in between.
How coincidental can it be that nobody was beside Father?
You think someone went to see Father without anyone knowing?
That's not possible.
4th Brother had Qian Qing Palace guarded so closely.
He would know if anything happened.
There are too many suspicious points in the whole matter.
We should be open to all possibilities.
I have to find out what actually happened.
And also Consort De.
She has seen the edict. After Father's body was in the coffin,
she should have told everybody. But she was not telling anything.
4th Brother also seems to be hiding something from me.
Calm down. We'll go through things one at a time.
Though everything seems tangled up,
but we should follow the most promising thread
and try to straighten out the whole mess.
You're right.
I need to remain calm and unwavering.
Otherwise I won't be of help to 4th Brother, but a liability.
13th Prince.
What can you tell me?
13th Prince,
after His Majesty met with 13th Consort that day, nothing strange took place.
But an imperial guard saw
an eunuch leading someone wearing a cloak passed by Qian Qing Palace.
Do you know where they went?
No, the guard did not know.
But judging by the direction they were going, it's possible they were heading toward Chang Chun Garden.
It could be someone who met with His Majesty right before his passing.
Have you found out who it is?
No, not yet.
What about that eunuch?
We are still trying to find out. Please give us time.
I can wait. But 4th brother can't wait any longer.
You may go. You must find that eunuch as soon as possible.
He is the only breach now.
Yes, Your Highness.
Who was the person that Father met with
and tried so hard to conceal the identity?
Did you hear that 4th and 14th Prince almost got into a fight?
Is it true? But they are full brothers with the same mother!
There's a rumor going around
that 4th Prince changed the imperial edict
to usurp the throne from 14th Prince.
How could that happen?
Stop talking nonsense!
Forgive us, Your Highness!
Where did you hear such rumors?
Your Highness, it's been going around within the palace.
We just heard others talking.
Slap yourself!
Your Highness,
we know we are wrong. We'll slap our own mouths.
Fine.
Don't repeat such nonsense anymore. Understand?
Yes, we do.
Go.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Don't be agitated, Your Highness. The servants within the palace like to pass around stories.
It is not simple gossiping.
Someone is definitely behind it if rumors are being dispersed
at this critical moment.
Who would want to spread such rumors?
[Changchun Palace]
Your Highness, Consort De is here.
Greetings, sister.
Please have a seat.
I haven't seen you come here for a while.
The late emperor passed away. Everything, big and small in this palace
is taking care of you alone.
Everybody only talked about you.
I, as the Noble Consort, can't help you with anything.
It's been hard for you.
I'm just trying to take the burden for you, sister.
But--it's easy to manage people, hard to manage their words.
The late emperor just passed away
and people are thinking of different things. What I'm afraid of the most is that
the big picture is disturbed by small rumors.
That's right.
Rumors are truly horrifying.
It's easy to stop the servants from talking nonsense in the palace.
It's hard outside.
I heard that on the edict,
it was written that it would pass down to the 14th prince.
It was changed into pass down to 4th prince.
As if it were true. It was like seeing it themselves.
It's nonsense. All rubbish.
I know that. I just feel sad for you.
They are both your son and you can't put anyone aside.
Sister.
There are so many things that before you get the solid evidence,
you shouldn't think too much or talk too much about it.
Sister. Before the new emperor takes his position,
I have the highest position in this Harem.
I have the power to make any decisions.
And I will take care of everything.
I don't need you to remind me what to do.
Sister. As the consort of the late emperor and who slept beside him,
if it's not the late emperor's will, even if it's my own son,
I will not let him break the rules of Qing.
And disobey the trust of the late emperor.
The late emperor gave his edict to you because he trusted you.
Don't worry.
Before the new emperor takes his position, you can take good care of the edict.
I will not ask to see it.
But after 14th prince comes back,
if he wants to see it or not--we will not know.
As you have said.
The rumors are horrifying.
If you don't want brothers to kill each other,
The way I see it--
you should wait until 14th prince coming back
to announce the edict.
The way I see it--
we should just do it. Let's bring the army into the palace.
-I agree!
-That's right. -We can't.
It's not a normal period of time now. We can't make any mistakes.
Now nobody hopes that 14th brother is accused of taking the position as well.
That's right.
But we can't do nothing and just wait for 14th like this.
We are not doing nothing.
I think 9th prince is right.
It's a rare chance. We can't miss it.
Everybody, please listen to me.
Let's not talk about if the late emperor was killed by the 4th prince or not.
But 4th prince was guarding Qianqing Palace
and Changchun Garden alone. Ane he is the one who found out that the late emperor passed away.
He is the only one that can get the edict.
So--
So, he is the most likely one to kill Father and take his position and change the edict.
The late emperor passed away suddenly and it was so strange.
The most suspicious one is 4th prince who was guarding Changchun Garden alone.
If 4th prince really did such a bad thing,
the edict will be a wasted paper.
It wouldn't count. If the crown prince is not settled yet,
we still have a chance to fight for 14th.
You are right.
If it's passed to 4th, everybody will be suspecting the edict.
And he can't be the rightful emperor.
It's beneficial for us.
What brother 14th needs the most now is time.
We can't just act ruthlessly and cause a chaos in the court
to let 4th get stronger himself in the capital
and saying that he takes the position in chaos.
What we need most now is to set up the stage for 14th
and welcome him to take the position.
If that's the case, we will fight for the time with 4th.
Everybody knows what they need to do, right?
We don't need to fight with them face to face.
Everything will be carried out in the dark.
Until 14th brother comes home.
Yes.
Why are you rushing?
4th prince, I notice that 8th and 9th prince
are planning something in the army and I don't know what they are doing. So I'm reporting to you.
4th prince, 14th prince is coming back to the capital and he will be home soon.
He never applies for it or has any record and he comes back in private.
14th brother gets his news fast.
Lock all the doors. Without my orders, nobody can go in and out!
Yes. I get the order.
Go find the commander of infantry. Tell him to meet me now.
Yes. I know.
It's happening. They are rebelling.
Stop.
We are following the order of 4th prince to guard the door. Nobody can come in.
-14th Prince. Please stay back with your army. -How dare you!
14th Prince is coming back with a victory and you guys are closing the door.
-What do you mean? -I'm just following the orders.
Orders. Whose orders?
The orders of 4th?
14th Prince.
Get out of the way!
Get out of the way! Stay back!
-Get out of the way! -14th brother!
14th brother! You are finally back!
Is everything well on the way?
It seems that you have met many obstacles.
8th brother. Where is Father?
Go.
The memorial tablet of late Emperor
Father.
I'm too late.
The memorial tablet of late Emperor
I came back as soon as I can.
But 4th brother is trying to stop me.
Were you really killed by the bad guys?
8th brother. Today you broke into the palace with 14th brother.
What do you guys want?
It's reasonable that 14th brother comes back to the capital to mourn for father.
4th brother. You are stopping him all you can and block the doors into the city.
What do you want?
I think that you are the one who is suspicious!
Who dare!
Justice and Brightness
Father. Don't worry.
I will not let Qing be taken by the rebellions.
8th brother. Are you not telling you people to step back?
I think what I should do now
It's not up toyou, 4th brother's turn to teach me.
Okay then. I have to follow the rules.
4th brother. I haven't seen you for a long time.
8th brother. You guys can go.
Leave the rest to me.
14th brother, are you mad?
Okay.
Let's go.
Get back.
