ORIGINAL STORY BY NATSU HYUUGA
2
00:01:32,008 --> 00:01:33,676
{\an8}You mean to make Lady Lihua
3
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,720
{\an8}eat such low-class food?
4
00:01:35,804 --> 00:01:37,680
{\an8}It needs to be more luxurious.
5
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:40,141
{\an8}Otherwise, it won't suit
Lady Lihua's taste.
6
00:01:40,225 --> 00:01:43,853
{\an8}It'd be a disgrace to even
show Lady Lihua this food!
7
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:46,773
{\an8}Does she really think Lady Lihua
would approve of this?
8
00:01:46,856 --> 00:01:48,650
Oh, god.
9
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:50,568
So annoying.
10
00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:54,697
I didn't want to come to
the Crystal Pavilion if I could help it...
11
00:01:56,324 --> 00:02:00,787
It was the night that the Emperor
visited the Jade Pavilion...
12
00:02:24,394 --> 00:02:25,770
There is no poison.
13
00:02:27,939 --> 00:02:30,567
I'll be taking my leave.
14
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:33,027
Wait.
15
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,282
The Emperor spoke to me
for the first time.
16
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,660
We would like to request something
from the rumored apothecary.
17
00:02:41,369 --> 00:02:44,330
"Rumored?"
I have a bad feeling about this.
18
00:02:44,414 --> 00:02:45,248
Yes, my lord.
19
00:02:45,915 --> 00:02:47,750
Concubine Lihua's condition is not good.
20
00:02:47,834 --> 00:02:49,919
Can you look after her for a while?
21
00:02:50,503 --> 00:02:54,465
By "look after," He means "heal her."
22
00:02:55,508 --> 00:02:58,678
The Emperor's words are words from heaven.
23
00:02:58,761 --> 00:03:01,097
If I refuse, I could be beheaded.
24
00:03:01,723 --> 00:03:02,640
Yes, my lord.
25
00:03:04,225 --> 00:03:06,019
Even so,
26
00:03:06,102 --> 00:03:09,355
he doesn't need to say this
in front of another concubine.
27
00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:11,274
It's a reminder that the Emperor
28
00:03:11,357 --> 00:03:14,402
is a whole different being than us.
29
00:03:14,485 --> 00:03:15,737
Even so,
30
00:03:15,820 --> 00:03:19,282
to treat someone who arrived here
by the Emperor's orders this poorly...
31
00:03:19,365 --> 00:03:21,200
I guess that Lady Lihua's attendants
32
00:03:21,284 --> 00:03:23,703
hate me for working for Lady Gyokuyou
33
00:03:23,786 --> 00:03:25,830
that much.
34
00:03:26,664 --> 00:03:29,167
If you're done cleaning,
hurry up and get out!
35
00:03:29,792 --> 00:03:31,753
Boing!
36
00:03:32,462 --> 00:03:35,548
Whatever. I'll remake it again.
37
00:03:37,634 --> 00:03:40,261
Maomao, you're at the Crystal Pavilion?
38
00:03:40,345 --> 00:03:42,889
Yes. I'm looking after Lady Lihua.
39
00:03:42,972 --> 00:03:44,015
I see.
40
00:03:44,098 --> 00:03:47,018
She's still not getting any better, huh?
41
00:03:47,602 --> 00:03:50,813
The poison from the face powder
is probably still in her system.
42
00:03:50,897 --> 00:03:52,982
The poisonous powder, right?
43
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:55,526
That powder is now forbidden.
44
00:03:56,194 --> 00:03:57,904
All the remaining powder
45
00:03:57,987 --> 00:04:01,032
in the rear palace was removed
by the eunuchs.
46
00:04:01,115 --> 00:04:02,992
I see. That's good.
47
00:04:03,743 --> 00:04:08,081
But a direct request from the Emperor!
You're so amazing, Maomao!
48
00:04:08,164 --> 00:04:09,540
I was really surprised!
49
00:04:10,458 --> 00:04:12,585
Requesting something from a girl like me...
50
00:04:12,669 --> 00:04:15,546
The palace physician must be
that incompetent.
51
00:04:16,798 --> 00:04:19,968
- You're going to the kitchen, right?
- Yeah.
52
00:04:20,051 --> 00:04:23,054
- Good luck on your cooking!
- Thanks.
53
00:04:27,225 --> 00:04:28,059
All right!
54
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:31,646
After studying Lady Lihua's condition,
55
00:04:31,729 --> 00:04:34,023
I decided to improve upon her diet first.
56
00:04:34,107 --> 00:04:37,318
First, we must remove the remaining poison
in her system.
57
00:04:37,402 --> 00:04:40,196
To do that, we need porridge
with plenty of fiber,
58
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,699
and tea with a diuretic effect.
59
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:45,034
Not this. Nor this.
60
00:04:45,118 --> 00:04:48,746
This one, this one, and this.
61
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:49,831
Not that one, either.
62
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:54,294
Cut it out, all right?
63
00:04:54,377 --> 00:04:57,422
This isn't a place where low-class people
can just come and go.
64
00:04:58,256 --> 00:04:59,924
Boing!
65
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:02,051
This will take a while.
66
00:05:03,803 --> 00:05:05,305
All right, next up...
67
00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:07,140
This one, this one, that and this...
68
00:05:12,395 --> 00:05:13,688
Didn't I tell you?
69
00:05:13,771 --> 00:05:16,566
First, we have to give her
something easy to digest.
70
00:05:16,649 --> 00:05:18,276
She doesn't need peasant food.
71
00:05:18,359 --> 00:05:22,405
A patient needs
plenty of nutrients to recover.
72
00:05:23,239 --> 00:05:25,533
So that's what she's always eating?
73
00:05:26,117 --> 00:05:28,161
Yes, it's rich in nutrients,
74
00:05:28,786 --> 00:05:31,539
but it's too heavy for a patient
with a weak stomach.
75
00:05:31,622 --> 00:05:34,167
If they used their head even a little,
they would know.
76
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:36,169
No one's stopping them?
77
00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:40,590
Lady Lihua, we have your food.
78
00:05:41,257 --> 00:05:43,760
These are all your favorite foods.
79
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:45,970
Please have even a little bit.
80
00:05:51,267 --> 00:05:53,811
- Lady Lihua?
- What should we do?
81
00:05:53,895 --> 00:05:55,146
Water, quickly!
82
00:05:55,229 --> 00:05:56,606
Are you all right, Lady Lihua?
83
00:05:56,689 --> 00:05:59,734
Lady Lihua, here's some water.
Please drink this.
84
00:06:01,694 --> 00:06:02,862
Huh?
85
00:06:03,529 --> 00:06:06,032
Because a low-class person like you
is in the room...
86
00:06:06,115 --> 00:06:08,701
- The room has bad air!
- Get out!
87
00:06:10,953 --> 00:06:12,288
Boing...
88
00:06:14,165 --> 00:06:16,793
I can't even get close to her like this.
89
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,379
All right, what should I do?
90
00:06:25,676 --> 00:06:27,428
Could I at least examine her?
91
00:06:27,512 --> 00:06:28,888
No need.
92
00:06:28,971 --> 00:06:32,391
What if you worsen her condition?
93
00:06:34,185 --> 00:06:37,355
In this state, she'll
definitely get weaker and die.
94
00:06:37,438 --> 00:06:39,732
Humans have to eat to live.
95
00:06:41,275 --> 00:06:45,363
She probably lost the will to live
after losing her son.
96
00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:53,496
How long until my neck says goodbye
to my body
97
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,792
for going against
the Emperor's divine orders?
98
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:00,670
You look like you need help.
99
00:07:02,964 --> 00:07:05,091
Do I look like I need help?
100
00:07:05,174 --> 00:07:06,759
You do, indeed.
101
00:07:08,052 --> 00:07:09,345
Sir Jinshi?
102
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:12,515
What's up with that woman?
103
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:13,891
Why her and Sir Jinshi...
104
00:07:13,975 --> 00:07:16,018
Now they've got the wrong idea!
105
00:07:20,189 --> 00:07:21,691
Let's go inside, shall we?
106
00:07:23,693 --> 00:07:25,194
Sir Jinshi!
107
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:28,781
Going against the Emperor's wishes
108
00:07:28,865 --> 00:07:31,534
goes against intelligent,
beautiful women like you.
109
00:07:33,327 --> 00:07:35,621
Oh my!
We weren't doing anything of the sort...
110
00:07:35,705 --> 00:07:38,082
Exactly. We weren't doing such things...
111
00:07:39,250 --> 00:07:41,586
Women are terrifying.
112
00:07:49,594 --> 00:07:50,845
Now, go.
113
00:08:21,334 --> 00:08:23,211
She has the will to eat.
114
00:08:24,337 --> 00:08:27,673
But she's weaker than I thought.
115
00:08:27,757 --> 00:08:29,300
Maybe rice gruel will work...
116
00:08:33,554 --> 00:08:35,556
Excuse me.
117
00:08:37,225 --> 00:08:39,060
Her skin is the same color as before...
118
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:01,541
Are you the one applying makeup
to Concubine Lihua?
119
00:09:01,624 --> 00:09:03,543
Yes, I am.
120
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:06,254
I want her to stay beautiful.
121
00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:09,090
That's the duty of a lady-in-waiting.
122
00:09:09,924 --> 00:09:11,717
It's all for Lady Lihua.
123
00:09:11,801 --> 00:09:13,803
- It's to be expected.
- I see.
124
00:09:15,763 --> 00:09:16,931
What are you doing?
125
00:09:17,515 --> 00:09:19,809
Huh? I'm just chastising an idiot.
126
00:09:21,435 --> 00:09:24,105
Ouch! Stop it! It hurts!
127
00:09:32,905 --> 00:09:35,575
The poison will go through your
whole body soon.
128
00:09:35,658 --> 00:09:37,076
Good for you.
129
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:39,328
Now, you can be just as beautiful.
130
00:09:39,912 --> 00:09:42,748
Just like the Lady Lihua
you admire so much.
131
00:09:42,832 --> 00:09:46,919
Her blood-drained skin, her sunken eyes,
132
00:09:47,003 --> 00:09:49,505
and a body that can't even eat...
133
00:09:50,172 --> 00:09:52,550
Do you even know why this was forbidden?
134
00:09:52,633 --> 00:09:53,551
Do you?
135
00:10:02,393 --> 00:10:04,437
But, I thought...
136
00:10:04,979 --> 00:10:07,565
Lady Lihua would appreciate it...
137
00:10:07,648 --> 00:10:09,775
I'm saying it's poison, damn it!
138
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:11,611
You don't think at all.
139
00:10:11,694 --> 00:10:14,238
You always think you know best, do you?
140
00:10:15,072 --> 00:10:18,034
Who would appreciate poison that
killed their own brat, huh?
141
00:10:30,921 --> 00:10:33,924
Rinse your mouth and wash your face!
142
00:10:34,925 --> 00:10:38,596
You! This is no environment for the ill!
143
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,807
- Hurry up and clean the floor!
- Yes, ma'am!
144
00:10:44,602 --> 00:10:45,436
Wow.
145
00:10:46,103 --> 00:10:48,773
Women really are terrifying, huh?
146
00:10:53,527 --> 00:10:55,946
Did I... really do that?
147
00:10:56,030 --> 00:10:57,531
Let's go.
148
00:11:00,201 --> 00:11:03,871
Lady Lihua's state
was worse than imagined.
149
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:07,124
First, remake the multigrain porridge
into a gruel,
150
00:11:07,208 --> 00:11:09,502
force her mouth open and pour it in.
151
00:11:09,585 --> 00:11:11,837
Let her swallow slowly, then repeat.
152
00:11:13,255 --> 00:11:16,842
Now's not the time to think about
manners or class.
153
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:20,721
Ventilating the room
dissipated the scent of incense,
154
00:11:20,805 --> 00:11:23,099
and the room started smelling of illness.
155
00:11:23,182 --> 00:11:26,936
Those useless attendants can't even
wipe down their lady properly?
156
00:11:27,019 --> 00:11:29,146
And they call themselves attendants?
157
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:33,109
If they have time to burn incense,
there are other things to prioritize!
158
00:11:35,986 --> 00:11:38,864
Hey. Bring a tub of hot water and cloth.
159
00:11:38,948 --> 00:11:40,074
Yes, ma'am.
160
00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:44,995
- You help too.
- Yes, ma'am!
161
00:11:51,377 --> 00:11:53,629
Any chance I got, I made her drink tea.
162
00:11:53,712 --> 00:11:55,339
This increased her urination and
163
00:11:55,965 --> 00:11:57,716
got rid of the poison in her body.
164
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,387
I think Lady Lihua doesn't want to...
165
00:12:01,470 --> 00:12:03,097
No. She has to drink.
166
00:12:04,515 --> 00:12:06,517
Once she could eat more in one sitting,
167
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,103
I slowly increased the amount of
rice grains.
168
00:12:09,186 --> 00:12:11,272
Once she could swallow that,
169
00:12:11,355 --> 00:12:13,941
I added soup and grated fruits
to her diet.
170
00:12:15,901 --> 00:12:17,445
I heard later that
171
00:12:17,528 --> 00:12:19,572
the attendant was
placed under house arrest.
172
00:12:20,739 --> 00:12:22,533
The face powder was
173
00:12:22,616 --> 00:12:24,702
something she hid and kept for Lady Lihua.
174
00:12:26,287 --> 00:12:28,372
The eunuch who failed to collect
the powder
175
00:12:28,456 --> 00:12:30,499
was punished by whipping.
176
00:12:48,017 --> 00:12:49,477
You look tired.
177
00:12:50,436 --> 00:12:53,439
Yes. Unlike some people, I'm very busy.
178
00:12:54,231 --> 00:12:55,483
These are for you.
179
00:12:58,068 --> 00:13:00,654
Thank you very much.
180
00:13:03,824 --> 00:13:05,743
He's observant, as always!
181
00:13:05,826 --> 00:13:09,121
People like that will make a good husband.
182
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:10,498
Even though he's a eunuch.
183
00:13:12,541 --> 00:13:13,918
Compared to him...
184
00:13:18,797 --> 00:13:21,050
Do you need help with anything?
185
00:13:24,345 --> 00:13:26,722
What is it? Tell me anything!
186
00:13:28,557 --> 00:13:32,228
We need more people over there.
Can we get someone?
187
00:13:32,311 --> 00:13:34,522
Please complete this
as quickly as possible!
188
00:13:34,605 --> 00:13:35,689
Yes, sir!
189
00:13:37,191 --> 00:13:38,734
A steam bath?
190
00:13:38,817 --> 00:13:41,028
She says it's important
to get her to sweat.
191
00:13:41,111 --> 00:13:42,821
Will it work?
192
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:44,406
I'm sure it will.
193
00:13:45,324 --> 00:13:48,285
We have to use what we can, right?
194
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:04,260
What is it, ma'am?
195
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:09,306
Why didn't you...
196
00:14:10,641 --> 00:14:14,061
just let me die like that...?
197
00:14:15,771 --> 00:14:19,024
If that's what you want,
you don't have to eat.
198
00:14:20,234 --> 00:14:23,904
You ate the porridge
because you don't want to die.
199
00:14:43,257 --> 00:14:44,842
I see...
200
00:14:59,940 --> 00:15:01,150
You're right...
201
00:15:49,239 --> 00:15:50,532
You are...
202
00:15:51,492 --> 00:15:52,952
My suspension was lifted.
203
00:15:53,035 --> 00:15:57,122
I was permitted to serve under Lady Lihua
once again.
204
00:15:58,916 --> 00:16:02,544
I'll never make the same mistakes
I made last time.
205
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:05,631
I'll take over for now.
206
00:16:05,714 --> 00:16:07,549
Please rest for a while.
207
00:16:09,093 --> 00:16:10,260
I see.
208
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:18,477
Lady Lihua.
209
00:16:23,107 --> 00:16:24,316
Lady Lihua.
210
00:16:34,535 --> 00:16:38,163
Will you fetch me some water?
211
00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:43,585
Yes, my lady.
212
00:16:48,132 --> 00:16:49,091
Yes!
213
00:16:54,972 --> 00:16:56,348
After about two months,
214
00:16:57,099 --> 00:17:00,561
Lady Lihua recovered enough
that she could walk on her own.
215
00:17:03,814 --> 00:17:07,276
She is proud, but not conceited.
Because of the incidents with
216
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,238
the Eastern Palace, I had thought
that she was a spoiled princess,
217
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:16,326
but she possessed the qualifying traits
of a concubine.
218
00:17:51,236 --> 00:17:54,948
I'll be taking my leave
early tomorrow morning.
219
00:17:55,699 --> 00:17:56,825
I see.
220
00:17:57,576 --> 00:17:59,036
I have informed
221
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,456
the attendants of what to eat
and what to watch out for.
222
00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:09,546
Hey. Do you think that
I can no longer have children?
223
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:12,591
I don't know.
224
00:18:13,217 --> 00:18:15,302
It would be good to try.
225
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:18,597
Even if the Emperor no longer visits me?
226
00:18:19,723 --> 00:18:22,559
I came here on the orders of the Emperor.
227
00:18:23,352 --> 00:18:25,687
Once I return to the Jade Pavilion,
228
00:18:25,771 --> 00:18:29,191
I think that the Emperor will visit you.
229
00:18:30,567 --> 00:18:33,153
Will a woman who let her own child die
230
00:18:33,237 --> 00:18:37,699
without listening to the warnings
win against Concubine Gyokuyou?
231
00:18:39,034 --> 00:18:41,745
It's not a matter of winning or losing.
232
00:18:43,413 --> 00:18:46,667
The world is filled with hundreds
and thousands of flowers.
233
00:18:46,750 --> 00:18:49,586
It's not right to judge whether
234
00:18:49,670 --> 00:18:52,172
the peony or the balloon flower
is more beautiful.
235
00:18:53,257 --> 00:18:57,261
I don't have those jade eyes
or her pale-colored hair.
236
00:19:01,223 --> 00:19:03,809
You can make up for it with other things.
237
00:19:05,477 --> 00:19:08,063
It's not just the size that's impressive.
238
00:19:08,147 --> 00:19:10,357
The tension and the shape are exquisite.
239
00:19:10,941 --> 00:19:11,859
What?
240
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:15,654
Will you lend me your ear?
241
00:19:15,737 --> 00:19:17,072
Of course.
242
00:19:31,461 --> 00:19:34,298
All right, then. I'll be off.
243
00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:40,387
The "gift" I left for Lady Lihua
244
00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:43,223
is a secret method
that my Big Sisters taught me
245
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:44,433
back at the brothel.
246
00:19:45,267 --> 00:19:48,437
You remember too, Maomao. It'll help you!
247
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,438
Okay.
248
00:19:50,606 --> 00:19:51,648
Unfortunately,
249
00:19:51,732 --> 00:19:55,736
I don't have the double fruit required
to pull off such a thing.
250
00:19:55,819 --> 00:19:58,280
But it's the perfect method
for Lady Lihua.
251
00:20:00,824 --> 00:20:02,701
I hope it helps her.
252
00:20:09,082 --> 00:20:10,417
I've returned.
253
00:20:11,376 --> 00:20:12,753
Welcome back.
254
00:20:13,462 --> 00:20:15,255
Are you okay, Maomao?
255
00:20:15,881 --> 00:20:17,549
You've gotten so thin!
256
00:20:17,633 --> 00:20:19,718
It must've been hard work.
257
00:20:19,801 --> 00:20:22,679
Pulling off the Emperor's divine orders
all on her own...
258
00:20:22,763 --> 00:20:24,264
She's impressive, that one.
259
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:30,771
Later, there was a time when the frequency
of the Emperor's visits
260
00:20:30,854 --> 00:20:33,774
to the Jade Pavilion dropped dramatically.
261
00:20:35,275 --> 00:20:39,404
Finally, I can get some sleep!
262
00:20:41,156 --> 00:20:45,827
It's not worth mentioning that
Maomao's eyes glazed over.
263
00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:02,970
It's a curse!
264
00:22:36,063 --> 00:22:39,524
