Yanxi Palace 05

It tastes good.

Leave when you've finished eating all of them.

Noble Concubine is such a gracious person,

even though I'm eating so much!

Thank you, Noble Concubine!

Looks like she really is just stupid.

Tell her to get out,

she annoys me just with her being here.

Alright, stop eating.

She's telling you to leave.

But I'm not done eating!

Take it with you and leave.

Ask the Neiwufu (how tf do you translate this word lmao) later

just what kind of people are they bringing into the palace?

Isn't she just an imbecile?

Noble Concubine,

I think that might not be the case

You mean...

She's pretending to be dumb?

If she is,

we can just get someone to find out.

Dumbass.

Are you convinced now?

You can never be too careful.

I'm tired.

You can leave now.

Yes.

Please rest well. I will take my leave.

your highness, what's the matter?

I don't know why but

I have a feeling that something isn't right

You, still believe that Wei Yingluo is pretending?

if she is faking her stupidity

then that silly girl isn't as simple as we think

Anyone can fake stupidity, but

When she entered, she first tripped

Then when she spoke, her words were slow and slurred.

This already made the Noble Concubine certain that something was wrong with her head.

But the problem is,

Didn't criticize or question her

I don't understand

The distance from the embroidery department to this palace is just a small stroll,

she already guessed that the Noble Concubine was trouble,

and thought of a plan during that short time

Its not hard to act stupid

What's hard is to calm down Lady Gao

Those seven bowls of rice cakes...

were eaten to their utmost advantage

it's already so late

why hasn't Yingluo returned yet?

what if something's happened to her?

this isn't right, I'm going to go have a look

Hey! where do you think you're going?

leaving the department of embroidery, do you want to get yourself killed?

Yingluo helped me once before, how can I abandon her?

Jixiang, I say you really are stupid

she's left the embroidery department for such a long time already

I think

she's off having a tryst JinXiu! The forbidden city gate is closed.

There are only palace maids and eunachs

Who would Lingluo be having a tryst with?

Apart from the Emperor,

There are also plenty of men in the forbidden city

The four palace guards, and three diplomats by Yuehua Gate...

The two doctors at the royal pharmacy,

That's seven! There's bound to be someone willing to see her.

Shut your mouth! Saying all these slanderous things

Careful I don't rip it apart

Did I say something wrong

?

She won't let us see the guard she sneaked away with last time

Of course, we are not all blind

*She won't come back now*

Fortunately, this time Fang gugu collapsed

Otherwise, her worthless life wouldn't be safe

you still speak? you still speak? you still speak?

you've gone insane!

stop fighting!

Yingluo, this time

I'm afraid it won't end well

Linglong, what...what are you saying?

this afternoon

I noticed Yi Lianjie's complexion didn't look good.

Yingluo

I'm afraid a disaster is coming

what...

how can this be?

Yingluo...

Yingluo

go sleep, go sleep

Jixia, you see I wasn't lying

Someone has a guilty conscience

I didn't dare say it when I heard it

This little sweetheart...

...truly has a man

You're still talking? I didn't say anything wrong!

Let's sleep!

You head out first

Yingluo,

Are you not heading out?

Linglong and I haven't eaten our fill yet

oh, okay, then I'm going to head out first

Yingluo, I'm going to go to the embroidery room

Linglong

Yesterday night when I returned, I thought

who on earth could have told the imperial noble consort a secret

how would I know?

if you truly don't know

then you should ask

what kind of secret could it be?

You don't have to say it for me to know

that day it was you at Yonghe palace

yesterday you and Jixia delivered an outfit together

apart from you, who else could it have been?

Yingluo...

Yingluo, listen to me

what do you want to say?!

say you wanted to Noble Consort Gao to kill me, so that you could vent your resentment

or tell me your envy inside

Yingluo

I admit

Yesterday it was only a slip of my tongue

But I

Do you know when I came back yesterday why didn't I came for you directly?

Because I was so full that I feel painful

Last night, I ate a lot of lotus powder balls

Yingluo

What do you want to do?

Eat

What is this?

Last night the lotus powder balls I brought back

Rest assured. It's not my vomit

Yingluo

We...We entered the palace together

and we are good sisters

Yes

Good sisters?

Share fortune and misfortune together

So

eat

I won't eat

I won't eat

Eat. Eat

You like to betray others so much

If I don't silence you

you would to that again next time

Eat. Eat. Eat

Help

Keep shouting

Shout louder

so that everyone can hear your voice

Anyway, Aunt Zhang

hates ones that say much

Be careful that she cut your tongue

I don't know any great truth

I only know that if others don't make trouble for me I will not make trouble for them, either

If you don't eat up this bowl of balls today

you won't be able to leave this room

Eat

Eat

If you don't eat. I will report to aunt Zhang

and say that you curry favor with Chuxiu Palace

you can't stay in department of embroidery anymore

You can't spit out any balls

Ling long

If you envy me, say it in front of me

We can compete in embroidery techniques

Using contemptible ways if you are afraid of losing

that would only let others look down upon you

Hope this bowl of lotus powder balls today

can glue your mouth and let you remember the lesson taught you today

Ying Luo Aunt

How are you feeling with your illness?

The sun rises in the west

My waist was nearly broken by you

you actually dare to come

Aunt

I can't feel at ease

and I want to do something to make up for what I did

but I was too busy with my job

I have time today

No necessary

We'll settle matters slowly

These matters will be settled in the future

It's fine if I can help

Sister Bingqing

Let me do it

No. I'll do it

Give it to me

Wei Ying Luo

Aunt

I'm sorry

I was not deliberate

You bad girl

get out

How about

I tidy with you

No necessary. No necessary

Get out! Quickly!

Sorry. I wasn't intentional

Besides elder sister's ornament

are there any other clues?

What are you doing?

You

You actually dare to steal things in my room

This time you are caught with booty by your side

Aunt

What are you talking about?

Your clothes were wet just now

I was helping you to find new clothes

Look

Put down the clothes

Get out！

How about I help you to change clothes?

Get out!

When elder sister left the palace

she didn't have extra belongings

all belongings were gone

If the belongings were snatched by her

Where are the other belongings?

You don't know?

She came back so late last night

Didn't she go to Chuxiu Palace?

Only you are stupid

She went on a date last night

With whom?

Her lover is a guard in the Forbidden City

Really?

Things without evidence

can't be talked about

Who's talking nonsense?

I saw them with my own eyes.

If this kind of thing happens with palace female maid

and were it known by Manager Wu

the sinners would be beaten to death with sticks.

I'm not blind

Tell it to us

Last time Aunt Fang went to capture the ones who committed adultery

It was only because she's too sly

she succeeded in escaping

Next time, when you see that again

Ying Luo

Come over here

What are you afraid of?

We didn't say anything wrong

I think she won't be able to come back

Ying Luo

Everyone says you're being intimate with a guard

Is that true?

momo

Do you believe such rumors?

Of course I don't believe it

Rumors' destructive power is indeed too great

You must be careful

There's nothing to fear

I'm only afraid that as rumor spreads out

Which could cause serious consequences

And one day when the rumor spreads into Minister Wu's ear

I won't be able to protect you then

It's like I told you, all have evidences

Thank you for reminding me

Ying Luo. Let's go quickly

Let's go

The material is to be delivered to the ceramics workshop.

Stop looking and let's move quickly

Darn!

I have tried my best, but I still can't embroider rosy clouds

Ying Luo gets angry so easily

But, her embroidery technique is excellent

Otherwise, Auntie would not think so highly of her

It does prove that Ying Luo is very talented

So, you are saying that I am not as capable?

Jing Xiu. My praise for Yin Luo

doesn't have anything to do with you

Even if she is competent

She has questionable relationships with guards

and one of these days her wrongdoings will be exposed

That's what you say, but, can it really work?

Where is the proof?

Rest assured

I can catch her braid (find the evidence)

I dont know

I really have no idea

Huh, you really don't know?

or are you afraid of Ying Luo and you dare not say?

Auntie. Ling Long doesn't know. But, I know

You know?

Last night. I saw with my own eyes that Wei Ying Luo left her bedroom.

She didn't return until dawn

She must have had a date with someone

Didn't you follow her?

Auntie, I couldn't catch up with her

Ling Long

She was with a guard last time

What did he look like?

Do you remember?

No

I...I don't remember

Don't worry

this is the last time

After this incident, I will not doubt you

I can't tell

But, if I can see that man

I can definitely recognize him

That's easy

I will let Yu Jie to take you to find him

No. No.

There's

There's no evidence

What can we do to even find him?

Ling Long

Do not worry and try your best

After finding him

It must have no connection to me

Okay

I will help you this time

I'll be the one responsible for finding him

as for other matters

I don't want to get involved anymore

Rest assured

I have my own plans

for this particular situation

It won't implicate you

Are you sure?

Yes. He's the man that Ling Long mentioned

That's him

Was he in the palace last night

A guard should be on duty every 5 days

Last night

he was on duty

and guarding Qianqing Gate

That is a sore on the back of the head

regarding others as blind

This was the first time

there must be a second time

It is all just a matter of time

Let's wait and see

Qing Xi

You are lucky

secretly having relations with a pretty female maid

There are ancestral rules in place

Having intimate relations with female maids is forbidden

Neither commoners nor officials don't disclose these kinds of matters

Female maids are to be released out of the palace sooner or later

If you like her, you can get married to her in the future

This refers to getting married with a concubine

not referring to getting married with a wife

What are you afraid of?

Even getting married to a concubine, you should also think about the family background

Commander Fu Heng

Hand it over

Commander Fu Heng. I...

Female maids cannot be in contact with guards

This is against the rules

These are the rules inside of the palace

You should know this the first day you entered the palace

She gave you a stone?

Ahh, it symbolizes that her heart is like a stone

You are being rejected

Is it funny?

Here, here have it

All of you

recite the rules for guard 100 times

Yes

Commander Fu Heng

We were wronged

Fu heng

Do you really think that he was wronged? Commander Fu Heng

How can someone send a stone?

Ying Luo

What on earth did she mean?

I let you surveillance her

It has been three months

Why haven't you reported anything back to me?

Auntie

Wei Ying Luo is really sly

We have not been able to find any other mistakes yet

It's because you are stupid

So

What about trying it by yourself?

Do not prod me

My waist will recover soon

then I can soon cope with her

Keep an eye on her

Yes

Okay. We can eat now

This food again?

I want to have fish

When you are in front of the Miladys, there would be a fishy smell

You should be careful not to be beaten

Eat quickly

I was just a thought

Is that not allowed?

What could be wrong?

Ying Luo

are you alright?

is your stomach upset?

when my sister-in-law was pregnant

she had the same symptoms

I'm alright

it's just since I ate the all those glutinous rice balls

my digestion has continuously been unwell

I just have to bear it, this is the sort of person we are

proceed, make the ceremonial robes

Jixiang

let me have a look

look at yourself, your measurements have changed again

I say, we just issued these summer uniforms

not sure if it's wearable

we eat until 80% full

unlike her, who eats so much

so she is getting fat

eat a little less

When you pass wind of front of the masters

you will be beaten with a board

the other measurements are the same

I'm hungry

Yingluo

Come, let me have a look

the sleeves are unchanged

Yingluo

your waist...

has become a little thick

are you getting fat?

I...

how is it possible to be fat?

Recently Yingluo

has been vomiting whatever she eats

she can't keep any food down at all

don't tell me that since that time you ate all those tapioca dumplings

you're still bloated from then?

I have some digestion aids, retrieve them from my place later

Thank you ma'am

this was embroidered very well

is it like this?

madam said our earlier rushed spring palace outfits

finally, it's our turn

that's why,

I brought some from the warehouse to tailor

this is so new, thanks!

have a look, do you think it looks appropriate?

looks about right

this one is a little tight

yes, just a little

is this a little long?

don't worry, let me have a look

just tailor it in a moment and it'll be fine

madam

good

so this is the kind of person she truly is

where is everyone?

Wei Yingluo

someone has reported you for a scandalous matter

are you guilty?

I dare ask, sir

who was the person who reported this?

It was I who reported you

what scandalous matter do you mean?

you still have the audacity to ask?

you succeeded in seducing an imperial guard

you conceived out of wedlock

and the evidence?

Jinxiu witnessed it

as for material evidence

strip off your clothes

naturally, it will become clear

Eunuch Wu

Madam Fang has always disliked me

would you trust what she says?

you won't admit your guilt?

Naturally, I will not admit to something that is a baseless rumor

it doesn't matter if you admit to it or not

strip her clothes off and you'll find out her stomach has obviously grown

Wei Yingluo

if you really did it, just admit it

it would be best to avoid an investigation

it will be embarrassing for you

I've already said

I never did anything, naturally, I will not admit to fault

you'll be flogged to death for causing an upheaval in the palace

Eunuch Wu

don't bother bickering with her

hurry and ask someone to inspect her

Madam Zhang

Yes

unacceptable

Yingluo is Madame Zhang's favourite palace maid

She would be biased

Madame Yan

You and Madame Zhang will inspect together

Understood

Yingluo, let's go

wait

now you want to beg?

too late

Eunuch Wu

although we are merely palace maids

we are all maidens from good families

with untarnished reputations

and we allow someone to slander us?

and harass us and knock us down

this plaintiff

to be clear, this person wants to hound me to death

I want to ask something

if it's positive I'm not at fault

how will you deal with this plaintiff?

the palace has it's own rules

dealing with those who slander other people

to be expelled from the Forbidden City

agreed

so it's been decided

it's like watching a drama

Madam Yan

did she commit an act of indecency?

I did not slander her

Madame Yan, have you conducted a thorough inspection?

It is clear

Please tell us

Miss Wei's stomach has grown indeed

See for yourself everyone, what I said was true

She really committed an indecent act! like I said

she's been acting suspiciously these past few days

turns out...

she's been going about having a tryst

so the embroidery department has people like this...

she doesn't have morals

she's besmirched all our reputations

no, no this can't be

Yingluo isn't like that

what do you mean this can't be? it's already gotten to this point

Heaven can't even help her now

there's no use whining

Madame, do I need to say it?

for a person like this

death by a million cuts won't be sufficient

cease this commotion

Wei Yingluo is still a maiden

what did you say?

Eunuch Wu

I said, Yingluo is still a maiden

she is still a virgin

I told you so! there's no way Yingluo would do something indecent

it doesn't change the fact that your stomach has grown

it is it possible you're still a virgin

Jinxiu, you clearly see

her stomach has grown, correct?

that's correct. Eunuch Wu, I saw it with my own eyes

Yingluo has been saying all this time

that eating all those tapioca dumplings has given her indigestion

she's just bloated

you're all willfully being ignorant

that's impossible

I'm not an idiot

and it's not like I haven't seen a pregnant person before

and h-her stomach's also grown so large

in addition, she's been having morning sickness moreover

that day when she was changing

I saw it with my own eyes!

how can it be fake?

shut your mouth, you!

you silly little girl

You dare to pretend you have experience in front of me?

how many women have you seen?

I...

you dare assume a virgin became pregnant

I have been in the palace for 20 years

I've seen countless palace maids and elegant women

you think I can't tell the difference between a married woman and a virginal palace maid?

that wasn't what I meant

if that isn't what you meant then what are you trying to say?

she is absolutely a virgin

you two have been spewing nothing but sewage

could you be more evil?

before, such slanderous gossip in the palace

is said with every detail

I thought it was true too

it would appear

it was you two responsible for spreading the rumors

you really aren't worried about your reputations

Eunuch Wu

since the whole truth has been revealed

it has been proven that I'm innocent

I implore you to deal with those present who harbour such sinister motives

Eunuch Wu, there must be a problem here

it's impossible she's not pregnant

I don't believe it

Madame Fang

the truth is in front of your eyes

why don't you just believe Madame Zhang and be done with it? Madame Yan who has 20 years of experience in the palace

explains your catty behaviour against other women

it's as apparent as a courtyard in a hospital

that she is not pregnant

as corroborated by 10 pairs of eyes here today

Wei Yingluo has certainly been wronged

As a Madam who manages the maids What you did is really immoral

Eunach wu

I was wronged, I listened to that brat Jinxu's nonsense.

I did not know she was sick!

Eunach Wu! Eunach Wu! Its not true! Its not true!

Madam Fang, how can you just blame it all on me?

It was you who told me to follow Yinglou

It was all your fault! You said she was pregnant! You were positive!

If not

I wouldn't have been fooled

Eunach Wu! Its not like that!

Its her, madam Fang. She has a grudge against Yingluo!

She wants revenge! I am innocent!

You silly girl!

I won't let you lie!

I won't let you lie!

I am not lying!

Stop!

I told you two to stop!

Enough! Stop fighting!

You two, too rude!

Eunuch Wu

I was instructed by Madam Fang

I did nothing wrong

Eunach Wu

She made up this nonsene

It was a misunderstanding

Thats right. Its a misunderstanding.

Eunuch Wu! There was a misunderstanding!

Wei Yingluo!

You are the victim

What do you say?

Yingluo

I was wrong. I was wrong 1000 times, in the end I was wrong.

I was too strict

Its all her! It was Jinxu

You are good girl and she is evil!

Yingluo

Yingluo

Don't believe her! She just wants you to forgive her!

Nonsense! - We came to the palace together

You know me better You know I am timid

This is a big problem. I would have not planned all of this!

Yingluo, I would never do this. It was all her!

Shut up!

No matter inside or outside the palace

Because of these kind of rumors

So many innocent lives have been taken

You want to use the words "It was a misunderstanding" and just forget everything like that?

That is too lenient

As for Jin Xiu

She is just an accomplice

Things that do damage to others but with no benefit to yourself

You have done this before

I have nothing to say

Eunach Wu

I Yingluo, have heard you treat matters like this without prejudice

You respect the law

If everyone in the forbidden city can learn from Madam Fang

that framing others without any reasons

and beating down others

while others pretend that nothing has happened

Will we then end up in a Forbidden City

that has no rules?

Did you two hear that?

This is the forbidden city

If everyone was like you

The palace would be chaotic

Guards!

Palace maid Jin Xiu

(she is getting 20 canes, and sent to a lower department for labouring)

No, no, no! Eunach Wu!

Take her away!!!

I don't want to. I don't want to go!

I don't want to!

No, I don't want to go!

I was wronged!

As for you Madam Fang

You have behaved in a disgraceful manner

40 canes

and kicked out of the palace!

Eunuch Wu! Please don't

I don't want to go!

The palace is not a place to spout nonsense!

Don't even dare to speak nonsense

Whomever stirs the wind and the rain will see what happens

They will be thrown out

Yes

Yes

I am busy here

Do not bother me with any more of your foolishness

Madam Zhang!

Yes

You are now responsible for these girls

You need to teach them to be better next time

Yes

Auntie

you should pack your things

You only have half an hour left until you leave

This is all your doing

If it weren't for you

I wouldn't have to leave

According to the rules, I will be out of the palace

I have to leave

And now my pension is gone

My own family members won't take care of me

How can you blame me?

It was a misunderstanding

Tell me

your belly

how did it go back

You spread rumors about me all over the palace

bringing harm to my reputation

The best way to eliminate rumors

Is to make a big scene

and let everyone know the truth

How did I make you believe

First

Let me go through it

You didn't catch on

to those two that are conniving at heart

Second

How did I fool you about my stomach?

well

I went to the ceramic factory

and got a some fabric

I used it around my waist to create a bulge

You were hooked

You couldn't wait to dispose of me

You cunning brat!

You are just like your sister!

Born with the same nasty nature

You admit to knowing my sister

you tell me

Tell me! How did my sister die?

Tell me, how can my sister's tassel be in your possession?

You tell me!

I don't know!

Are you really not going to talk?

Do you really want to play me

I am planning on exposing you

I will report you

your crimes against the palace

Don't tell

Do you still remember the white small porcelain jar?

the one with the dirt

I are the remains of my sister's ashes

I brought her into the palace

I just want to give my sister justice

Talk! Tell me!

Tell me how my sister died?

How did she die!

Were you involved?!

I really don't know.

Don't leave!

Don't leave!

I only know

Your sister made a big mistake at the time

She was banished

so then

She gave me a souvenir

You are talking nonsense!

that tassel

It was me! It was me who gave my sister that tassel

when my sister entered the palace

I couldn't sleep

so, i made 20 of those tassels

I chose the prettiest one to give to my sister

my sister

she never took it off

so, how could she have given it to you?

I'm wrong, I was wrong

I secretly stole it from her body

I found it lying next to her

really?

really?

I swear to God

Your sister's belongings are there

I will give it all to you

I don't want it

Please, let me go!

Is this all?

I spent the money

I have heard that name before

I need to think carefully

I remember the story

Wei Ying Ying changed her name when she first entered the palace

Everyone used to call her A'man

I didn't think about it at the time

I needed a second to remember

Ying Luo

I want to warn you

Don't investigate your elder sister's cause of death anymore

She made a big scandal

No one dares to speak of it

You are talking nonsense!

My sister was not the kind of person that you say she is

If you don't believe me

You can ask Madam Zhang
