[Coroner's Diary]

[Episode 6]

Prepare the carriage.
We're going to the Marquis Mansion!

Yes.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Your Highness,

is Wan in the carriage?

Chen, why are you looking for me?

Wan, your sister-in-law
went to visit her family.

She started bleeding
the moment she entered the mansion.

The physician said
both she and the baby are in grave danger.

Fu Ling, go get the medicine box ready.

Understood.

Your Ladyship,

I'll examine
the Grand Princess another time.

I understand.

Go quickly.

I...

Cut them according to the prescription
and boil them.

Reduce three bowls to one,

and divide it into four doses.

Take three during the day,
and one at night.

Continue for two days.

Xinlan,

I've just finished the acupuncture.

Get some sleep now.

Wan.

How is it? Is the baby alright?

Xinlan is stable for now.

But she still needs to take her medicine.

If the bleeding returns,

we'll have to
perform the acupuncture again.

Great!

Oh my.

Why is this happening?

Thank you, Wan.

It's all thanks to you
that Xinlan and the baby are safe.

Chen, there's no need for that.

Xinlan is weak
in both Qi and blood circulation,

and she's already seven months pregnant.

She shouldn't have made the trip
back to her hometown.

That was an oversight on my part.

Pregnant women are prone to overthinking.

You'll need to spend more time with her,

so she doesn't fall into melancholy.

Alright.

Your Highness, you're entering
without considering others' opinions.

If word of this gets out,

I'm afraid it could damage the reputation
of the Young Marshal of the Shuoxi Army.

Miss Qin, you've done a commendable job
assisting the Yue family.

I simply wanted to thank

Madam Qin in person.

Please don't mention it, Your Highness.

It's my responsibility as a citizen.

There's one more thing—

Wan!

Greetings, Your Highness.

Wan,

you saved Xinlan and the baby today.

This is a little something from us.

Please accept it.

Wan, if you don't accept it,

it'll feel like you don't like our gift.

Well, thank you, Chen.

As long as you're happy with it.

I'll take my leave now, Your Highness.

My Lady,

this sapphire jewelry set
is from Jinxiu House.

They usually only take custom orders
from the wealthy and noble.

It's not something
you can get on short notice.

I believe

this was the head ornament
Chen originally bought for Xinlan.

Young Madam Qin is the second daughter
of the Prefect of Jianzhou.

I heard she became pregnant
soon after the wedding.

Young Master Qin
seems very pleased about it.

Your Highness,

how do you know so much
about the affairs of the Qin family?

It's because of you, Miss Qin.

It's only natural
that the Yue and Qin families

will have more interactions in the future.

I feel it's necessary
to gain a better understanding.

Miss Qin, please don't take offense.

I wonder if my brother
is truly content with this marriage.

What does that have to do
with the Yue family?

Young Madam Qin hasn't fully recovered,

yet Young Master Qin
didn't stay by her side.

Instead, he hurried off to deliver such an extravagant gift to you in front of me.

It seems that, to him,

the opinion of the royal family

matters more

than his wife's well-being.

Chen acted under the expectations
of Madam Qin and the Third Madam.

He did it

for the future of the third branch.

As a man,

he sacrificed his wife and child

for his own ambition.

This place

was never meant for you.

Would you consider

returning to the capital?

I can make the arrangements.

My father has already been buried.

We still have property in the capital.

I'll go back sooner or later.

That's great.

In the future,

if I ever need anything,

please

lend me a hand.

That's what I thought.

Your Highness hasn't fully recovered yet.

Please don't fight with anyone—

your wound might reopen.

Miss Qin, if you have time,

could you help prepare
the first-aid medicine I need?

I'll be leaving

Jingzhou soon.

Are you returning to Shuoxi?

How many days until you depart?

If I rush,
it will take three to five days.

If not, maybe six or seven.

That soon?

It's too late to test the medicine, then.

I'll head to the pharmacy
to gather the herbs.

Thank you for seeing me off,
Your Highness.

There's no need to be so formal
between us.

From now on,

you can call me Yan Chi.

I wouldn't dare overstep.

After all we've been through together,

I thought we shared
a certain understanding.

Why still so distant?

I don't dare speak of "understanding"
with Your Highness.

Your Highness is of royal blood—

manners must be upheld.

Master, are we really going back
to Shuoxi?

No.

Then why did you...

Why hasn't Miss Shen's portrait
arrived yet?

Shen Yi dismissed
all his servants before he fled.

Miss Shen had always stayed by
her father's side.

She hadn't been in the capital for long,

and she'd never attended
any poetry gatherings or flower festivals.

No one in the capital has seen her face.

She has a similar temperament.

Forget about her appearance for now.

Send the Eagle Squad

to search along the river
for any trace of her.

Report every single detail

immediately.

Yes.

Someone was spying on Miss Qin
under the cover of night.

Master, how did you know?

The muddy footprints were made by clogs.

Judging by the length of the wooden soles,

the person

was likely
around five feet seven inches tall.

Look at the direction of the footprints—

they lead

toward Tinglan Garden.

But why are you certain
it happened at night?

It rained at 5 p.m. yesterday.

If the person had been spying before that,

they wouldn't have worn clogs,

and the footprints
would have been washed away by the rain.

Send word to Yingqi—

have him depart for Jingzhou immediately.

Yes.

Why are there so many herbs

for treating external injuries
in the mansion's pharmacy?

I'm not sure.

Madam Qin oversees
all the medicinal supplies here.

Those rare herbs

are reserved for
the masters and madams only.

Help!

Someone's dead!

Someone's dead!

My Lady, don't go.

I'll go take a look.

Call for help if there's something wrong.

I'll go with you.

What are you waiting for?

Quickly, come and help!

My Lady!

Turn over.

We're too late—
she's been dead for some time.

Go get help.

Help! Someone's fallen into the water!

Help!

Lianye?

How could it be her?

You know her?

She

is one of Madam Qin's second-class maids.

Who are you?

Why are you here?

I am—

My Lady,

I've brought someone here.

Second Young Master.

Second Young Master?

My Lady, this is your cousin—

Young Master Qin Li from the third branch.

He doesn't often stay at home.

Li,

I didn't mean to be rude earlier—
my apologies.

I hope you won't take it to heart.

Not at all.

Don't mention it.

Second Young Master, Miss Qin.

Wait.

Report it to the authorities first.

We'll handle her after the coroner
has finished the examination.

Understood.

Steward Liu.

Lianye?

Miss Qin,

I'll take care of this matter.

You and the Second Young Master
should leave now.

When do you plan
to report it to the authorities?

Lianye is a second-class maid
under Madam Qin.

I'll need Madam Qin's instructions

before I can proceed.

Wan,

Madam Qin has always overseen
the household affairs.

You don't need to worry about it.

It's pouring outside.

Let me escort you back.

My Lady.

Thank you, Steward Liu.

Li, give me the medicine.

Second Young Master,

you must be tired.

Let me wipe your sweat.

No need.

It's fine, Second Young Master.

Let me wipe it for you.

No need.

Li, let me see.

Let me take a look.

Syphilis?

Please save me, Wan!

Li, did you follow me all this way

just to ask for treatment?

How did you know I was following you?

If you don't want to talk, please leave.

Wan,

I didn't mean any harm.

I've been lingering around
your courtyard all afternoon,

but I didn't have the courage to speak.

When I saw you... heading out,

I followed without thinking.

Please have a seat.

I can get up by myself.

Wan,

I know I'm just
a worthless illegitimate son.

I don't deserve your kindness.

This filthy disease of mine

should never taint your eyes.

But I have no choice.

If word gets out,

even if I survive,

my life will be completely destroyed.

Wan,

for the sake of the years
we spent growing up together,

please help me.

Give me your hand.

How long has it been?

Ten...

Three or four days.

Do you know who passed the illness to you?

Someone from the bro...

Bro...

Wan, stop asking.

I don't want to dirty your ears with it.

If I make it through this,

I swear I'll stay clean

and never go to those messy places again.

You know

this is a serious illness.

I can't guarantee a cure.

As long as you're willing to try,

that alone means the world to me.

I wouldn't ask for anything more.

Li,

I don't have the right medicine
with me now.

Why don't you come back
around this time tomorrow night?

Thank you so much, Wan.

Wan, if you need anything, please tell me.

I'll do anything for you.

Li, you just need to tell me—

is there any purple bamboo
in this mansion?

Behind the pond
is the Purple Bamboo Grove.

Wan, have you forgotten?

Second Young Master,

when Her Ladyship lived here,

she was under five years old.

I do remember seeing the grove,

but I can't recall exactly where it is.

There's no purple bamboo anywhere else

except in the Purple Bamboo Grove.

But Wan,

don't go there.

Grandma issued a ban long ago—

without her permission,

no one is allowed
to enter the Purple Bamboo Grove.

Why?

Wan, stop asking.

In this household,

the less you know, the better.

I'm leaving.

My Lady, where did you get
the purple bamboo?

From Lianye.

My Lady,

are you going to get involved in this?

What if His Highness

asks us to go to the capital
in the next few days?

We've been planning this for so long.

What if it gets delayed?

If that happens,

I'll ask His Highness

to pass on the clues
we found to Prefect Huo.

Anyway,

we can't let Lianye die for nothing.

Since Madam Qin
had already forbidden this place,

why would Lianye come here?

I knew it.

Miss Qin.

What are you doing here?

I'm not familiar with this mansion.

I went out for a walk early this morning
and lost my way.

Could you point me toward Tinglan Garden,
Steward Liu?

It's that way.

My Lady!

Where have you been this morning?

What happened?

I went to the Purple Bamboo Grove.

From the wounds on Lianye,

it looks like she was chased
and attacked there.

She must have seen

something she wasn't supposed to,

and it cost her her life.

Then,

I saw Steward Liu Chun.

The way he looked at me was chilling.

I've always found

Liu Chun a bit strange.

Back when he brought gifts
during the festivals,

he would just stare at us.

But he's a long-time servant
of this household.

Could it be...

Could it be that he killed Lianye?

My Lady,

this place gives me the creeps.

Why don't we

move back
to the Marquis of Anyang's Mansion?

We can't.

We have to stand on our own now.

If we rely on others for everything,

we'll never be able to
hold our heads high.

But...

Don't be afraid.

Just be prepared

and don't let anyone cause trouble.

Why is it so hard to live a peaceful life?

[Marquis of Anyang's Mansion]

Not bad.

It's just that the landslide
looks a bit rough.

I've been on watch all night.

At least I managed to catch the spear.

Did you find anything?

Around 10:30 p.m.,

Qin Li and Miss Qin

went to Tinglan Garden together.

They chatted for a while,
then Qin Li left.

It looked like
he was seeking medical advice.

No one else came by after that.

Seeking medical advice?

Tell Yingqi to keep an eye on her.

Master, let me take over
watching Miss Qin.

Yingqi is still busy investigating

the assassin
who targeted you and the Prince.

We can't afford any delays in our plan.

You want to keep an eye on Fu Ling,
don't you?

Killing two birds with one stone.

I learned it from you.

I joined the Ministry of Justice

to investigate
the real culprit of Prince Jin's case

and the mastermind behind the plot
to seize the Shuoxi Army.

Miss Qin's autopsy skills

could be a great help to me.

You're clearly using your position
for personal gain,

yet you make it sound so noble.

Your footing is weak.

Go lift the stone lock 200 times.

Seriously?

Miss Qin, you are here.

Miss Fu Ling.

I need to prepare an emergency remedy
for the Heir of Prince Rui.

I'd like to choose the herbs myself.

Physician Qian, please lead the way.

Alright.

Isn't this the living Bodhisattva,

Miss Qin?

What brings someone of your stature

to our pharmacy today?

Concubine Liu,

Miss Qin is choosing herbs
for the Heir of Prince Rui.

We can't wait any longer.

Miss Qin, you've really climbed up
the ladder, haven't you?

I wonder—
how much does a consultation cost now?

What do you mean, Concubine Liu?

Are you saying

you'd like to consult me?

How would I dare trouble you, Miss Qin?

Just have Physician Qian
prepare my medicine.

I'll choose it myself.

Here.

She was so rude

just because Master Qin An favors her.

But I heard

he's been too sick
to handle anything lately.

Let's see how long her arrogance lasts.

Let me do it.

She's not worth getting angry over.

Let's just focus on our work.

Why is there only one basket?

What if Lord Yan's medicine

gets mixed up
with the Second Young Master's?

We'll sort them out later.

We need to keep a record
of all the herbs we've collected.

By examining the herbs, someone could
figure out the prescription formula.

If we don't mix in Lord Yan's medicine,

Li's condition might be exposed.

Miss Qin, did you find
all the herbs you needed?

The herb supply in the mansion
is quite complete.

Physician Qian, you manage it very well.

It's my duty.

What's wrong with Concubine Liu?

She said her menstrual cycle
has been irregular.

Who prescribed this formula?

I'm not sure.

Miss Qin, do you think it's appropriate?

If Concubine Liu believes it is,
then so be it.

Physician Qian,
please prepare some herbs for me.

Please excuse me.

Follow me.

My Lady, is something wrong
with the prescription?

It seems to cure menstrual disorders,

but in fact,

it's for syphilis.

Could it be...

Second Young Master?

I don't think so.

Li didn't take any medicine before.

[Grace and Purity]

After coming to Miss Qin's courtyard,

be quick with your tasks

and cautious in all things.

Miss Qin, you're back.

Was Madam Qin looking for me?

She heard that Fu Ling has been
assisting you with diagnoses all day.

Worried that your place
might be short-handed,

she sent two maids to help out.

This is Wantang.

This is Wanxing.

Greetings, Miss Qin.

You may rise.

Are they to your satisfaction, Miss Qin?

Anyone chosen by the Madam
is surely excellent.

As long as you're pleased, Miss Qin.

Madam Qin is waiting for my response,

so I'll take my leave now.

I'll go pay my respects to Madam Qin.

There's no need.

She knows you're busy,

and asked that you take some time to rest.

Thank you.

Fu Ling,

let me do it.

Arrange for them to stay here.

Yes.

Follow me.

-Yes.
-Yes.

My Lady,

the two girls have settled in.

Madam Qin sent someone over so suddenly—

she must be trying
to find out your whereabouts.

Someone searched this room,

but none of the papers or books
were touched.

That means they're not suspicious
of my identity yet.

I ran into Liu Chun this morning
in the Purple Bamboo Grove.

Now they've planted two new girls here.

I don't know who they're working for,

but they're definitely connected to
Lianye's death.

Guard the house

and keep an eye
on who they are in contact with.

Got it. Rest assured, My Lady.

Get out!

Leave!

Go back and tell Marquis Song:

His Majesty has already shown mercy—

he's merely demoting him from Duke

to Marquis.

But if he keeps pestering me,

one word from me is enough

to turn the Marquis Mansion
into the Song Mansion.

Get lost!

Chi,

the power struggle
between Prince Cheng and the Crown Prince

is already coming to the surface.

The Shuoxi Army holds
half of the nation's military strength—

everyone's eyeing it
like a juicy piece of meat.

You may have His Majesty's favor now,

but your words just now

were a bit too bold.

I'm afraid someone might use that
against you.

Before I came here,

His Majesty gave orders: The Shuoxi Army
may be summoned but not relocated.

That level of trust is unheard of.

But make no mistake—
it's like setting my father on fire.

Still, my father wouldn't listen.

He wanted to earn military merit
to repay the Emperor's grace.

In such a volatile situation,

with me as the heir
gaining so much attention,

I fear His Majesty won't tolerate

the presence of my father and me.

It hasn't been easy for you.

But alas, Prince Rui lacks your foresight.

My father is brave and loyal.

He mistook my intentions

for scheming.

Prince Rui is not an inflexible man.

I believe that one day,

he will understand your efforts.

I hope so.

I only pray he sees it
before it's too late.

My Lady,

those two have fallen asleep.

Guard the back window.

If you see Li, let him in.

Second Young Master, please come in.

Wan.

I...

Look.

It's only been a day.

Why has it gotten so much worse?

Wan, am I hopeless?

No.

But you need to be honest with me.

Is your illness truly unrelated to
anyone in the mansion?

I swear to God.

My wife resents the idea
of me taking concubines—

I don't even have a consummation maid.

How could I possibly dare approach
any of the women in this household?

Wan, you have to believe me.

Trust me!

It's not that I don't believe you.

But this prescription isn't something
that can be used interchangeably between men and women.

If the disease was passed on
to someone else,

I'm afraid your secret
won't stay hidden for long.

Are you telling the truth?

I am.

Wan, just treat me alone.

That's great.

I've placed the prescription in the package.

These ointments are for the ulcers.

Make sure to apply them exactly as I instructed.

Come back to me once you've finished them.

Thank you, Wan.

I'm leaving.

Li,

do you know

why the Purple Bamboo Grove became a forbidden place?

I really don't want to lie to you,

but as an illegitimate son,

there are some things I dare not speak carelessly.

Wan, stop asking.

Just stay away from Purple Bamboo Grove.

Thank you for telling me the truth, Li.

I'm leaving.

Looks like we must go to Purple Bamboo Grove.

Concubine Liu?

Could it be that

Lianye saw Concubine Liu meeting someone here

so she was killed?

Miss Qin, have you forgotten?

This place is forbidden.

Anyone who trespasses will be punished.

I...

I just...

My Lady!

My Lady.

Miss Qin,

Physician Qian has arrived.

We can go get the medicine.

Got it.

Steward Liu, what else can I do for you?

It's been raining a lot lately.

We are cleaning up the mud.

This place is very filthy.

It's better for you to now simply walk around, Miss Qin.

Wanxing,

how did you know I was in Purple Bamboo Grove?

Fu Ling asked me to follow you,

so I followed you.

Why didn't I see you on the way?

I have no idea.

Don't follow me in the future

without my instruction.

Understood.

Go away!

If you come any closer,

I'll die in front of you.

Qin Shuang?

Calm down, My Lady.

My Lady!

Put down the scissors!

Go away! All of you!

If you come any closer, I'll die in front of you.

Shuang, put down the scissors first.

I have been repenting for so long.

Why are you still locking me up?

I asked the maid to beg you every day.

Why wouldn't you see me?

Shuang.

Shuang, put down the scissors first.

Put them down.

Let's talk in the yard.

I punish you

for your own good.

Think about it.

You offended the Grand Princess.

If I don't punish you by locking you up

to vent the Grand Princess's anger,

what should we do?

If it's for my own good,

why didn't you and Xiang come to see me?

Shuang,

I'm a young lady of the Qin family,

not a criminal.

Why are you doing this to me?

You don't look like the young lady of the Qin family.

If this continues,

our whole family will be humiliated.

I don't have a good life anyway.

Instead,

I'd rather...

I'd rather...

Shuang!

Mother!

Help!

Untie the rope.

Yes.

Throw it down!

-Help!
-Mother.

Put it down.

Madam, please forgive me.

The well was supposed to be completed today,

so the water has been drained.

We were taking care of the mud.

But Miss Qin Shuang

suddenly...

What's the use of saying this now?

Hurry up and save her!

Go!

Help! It's so dark here!

Help!

I'm going to sink in the mud.

What a sin!

Shuang, we put the rope down.

You tie it around your waist.

We'll pull you up now.

I'm done.

Pull!

Wait!

I'm stuck!

A dead man!

I'm caught! Pull me up!

There's no dead person.

How could there be bones of dead people in the well?

-Pull it up!
-Hurry up!

Hurry up.

Harder.

Be careful.

Hurry up!

Help her out!

Be careful.

Come on.

Quickly, help her over there.

Help her sit down.

A dead person... I saw a dead person.

Wan, there's a dead person in the well.

There are bones of dead people in the well.

Look at her.

She's so scared that she's talking nonsense.

There are no bones of dead people in the well.

Mother.

There really are bones of dead people down there.

I saw it with my own eyes.

He grabbed my skirt.

All white bones.

That's enough.

Concubine Liu is here.

Aunt,

better let the servants go down and have a look.

So many people are watching.

We can't hide it.

It's even worse for them to talk nonsense outside.

Yes, you're so thoughtful.

Liu Chun.

Yes.

Find someone to go down and have a look.

Yes. Come.

Alright.

Are you hurt?

-Don't be afraid.
-I'm fine.

It's alright.

Madam, we've searched everywhere.

There's nothing else

other than the withered branches.

Got it.

Get someone to clean the well,

so that you won't harm others again.

Look at you.

You're really something.

You're taking a withered branch as a dead bone.

Don't mess around anymore.

Got it?

But I saw it with my own eyes.

Enough.

Mother,

will you still lock me up?

Go back and rest for a few days.

Wan,

you must be tired today.

Go back and rest.

Let's go.

Mother, let's go.

Wan, why are you still holding that?

Just throw it away.

I don't want to see it.

Wan.

I treated you badly before.

Why did you help me?

We are sisters.

Besides, you didn't hurt me.

After this incident,

don't do anything stupid anymore.

My Lady,

are there really human bones

in the well in the garden?

Human bones are white,

yet the withered branches look black.

Even if Qin Shuang was afraid,

she would still be able to differentiate that.

The Qin family is so scary.

You must not

wander around alone anymore.

Am I alone?

Didn't you ask Wanxing to follow me?

I was worried about her in the room,

so I let her follow you.

Wanxing may be timid,

but she is quick-witted.

She doesn't follow rules like Wantang.

If you don't like her,

I'll ask Wantang to follow you.

No need.

I want to see what she really wants to do.

My Lady, can we go back to the capital early?

The more I live here, the more scared I am.

What are you afraid of?

Evil prevails over justice.

Besides,

when we go to the capital

depends on Lord Yan.

Be patient.
