{\an8}[Eastern Palace]
2
00:00:06,679 --> 00:00:07,580
Last night,
3
00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:11,119
Princess Consort had many drinks
at Princess Ningshuang's place,
4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,460
and got in a fight with the Crown Prince
till the small hours.
5
00:00:13,460 --> 00:00:15,660
His Highness is still asleep now.
6
00:00:15,769 --> 00:00:16,640
I have an urgent matter to report.
7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,440
Attendant Gao, may I trouble you
8
00:00:18,460 --> 00:00:20,140
to wake His Highness up?
9
00:00:20,399 --> 00:00:21,280
Lord Gongsun,
10
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,219
are you trying to get me in trouble?
11
00:00:23,219 --> 00:00:24,920
You know how angry
12
00:00:24,949 --> 00:00:26,679
when His Highness is awakened.
13
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,480
This is a pressing emergency
14
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:30,649
that concerns His Highness's safety.
15
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,030
If something goes wrong,
16
00:00:32,030 --> 00:00:33,340
can you bear the consequences?
17
00:00:33,340 --> 00:00:34,539
Is it that serious?
18
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:38,299
Listen,
19
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,320
it's about Huo Xiangjiu. She...
20
00:00:43,179 --> 00:00:43,979
You wait here.
21
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:51,420
Your Highness,
22
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:52,939
has His Highness got up yet?
23
00:00:52,939 --> 00:00:54,670
I have an urgent report to give.
24
00:00:56,369 --> 00:00:57,890
You need to wait till he wakes up.
25
00:00:57,890 --> 00:00:59,450
All will be too late by then!
26
00:01:01,350 --> 00:01:02,609
Out of my way!
27
00:01:02,649 --> 00:01:04,049
Why are you so annoying?
28
00:01:24,099 --> 00:01:24,959
Your Highness?
29
00:01:38,739 --> 00:01:39,599
Your Highness.
30
00:01:41,019 --> 00:01:41,879
Your Highness?
31
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:56,759
That gave me quite a fright,
32
00:01:56,759 --> 00:01:57,519
Your Highness.
33
00:01:57,519 --> 00:01:58,629
What is it now?
34
00:01:58,759 --> 00:01:59,319
Your Highness,
35
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:00,920
I have an important issue to report.
36
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,000
What's so urgent
37
00:02:02,790 --> 00:02:05,090
that you must tell me before I get up?
38
00:02:05,629 --> 00:02:06,959
Lord Gongsun has found out
39
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:09,038
that Huo Xiangjiu is the daughter
of Huo Zhongren,
40
00:02:09,038 --> 00:02:11,080
the registrar of the Bronze County.
41
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:33,750
{\an8}[Eternal Love of the Fox]
42
00:04:29,250 --> 00:04:30,050
Have you had
43
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,560
enough of hangovers yet?
44
00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:34,480
What does this have to do with hangovers?
45
00:04:34,620 --> 00:04:35,939
You never eat on time
46
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:37,720
or have regular meals.
47
00:04:38,149 --> 00:04:40,129
How can it not affect your health?
48
00:04:40,908 --> 00:04:42,089
I'm quite young.
49
00:04:42,110 --> 00:04:43,970
What could possibly happen to me?
50
00:04:43,970 --> 00:04:44,810
Besides,
51
00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:46,189
even if I get sick,
52
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:47,920
I'll be healed by you, right?
53
00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:49,089
Just now,
54
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:51,230
you simply held my hands like this,
55
00:04:51,329 --> 00:04:52,870
and I immediately got well.
56
00:04:54,579 --> 00:04:56,319
Don't underestimate
the power of handholding.
57
00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:57,899
Hands connect to one's energy base.
58
00:04:57,899 --> 00:04:58,829
The five fingers
59
00:04:58,939 --> 00:05:00,800
correspond to the Five Elements.
60
00:05:01,470 --> 00:05:02,769
Two people's interlaced fingers
61
00:05:02,769 --> 00:05:04,500
forge the union of the Five Elements
in them.
62
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:05,560
When that happens,
63
00:05:05,779 --> 00:05:07,040
renewed vigor arises.
64
00:05:08,709 --> 00:05:09,629
Nonsense.
65
00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:11,970
Isn't the compatibility
66
00:05:12,459 --> 00:05:13,819
of two people's Five Elements
67
00:05:13,819 --> 00:05:15,290
decided by their birth charts?
68
00:05:15,290 --> 00:05:16,730
Regardless of birth charts,
69
00:05:16,730 --> 00:05:17,949
once two people's fingers interlock,
70
00:05:17,949 --> 00:05:20,279
the Five Elements in them just harmonize.
71
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:21,839
Does handholding...
72
00:05:22,529 --> 00:05:23,560
really have that much power?
73
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,360
Of course.
74
00:05:24,459 --> 00:05:25,589
When hands are held,
75
00:05:25,769 --> 00:05:27,810
many things can be achieved.
76
00:05:28,550 --> 00:05:30,629
What kinds of things?
77
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:32,420
A wide range
78
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,199
of things.
79
00:05:42,860 --> 00:05:43,658
Mom,
80
00:05:44,019 --> 00:05:45,620
since I'm a nine-tailed fox,
81
00:05:45,860 --> 00:05:46,658
I will
82
00:05:46,699 --> 00:05:48,759
certainly marry foxes in the future.
83
00:05:49,379 --> 00:05:51,399
These are all your daughters-in-law.
84
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:53,189
They'll give birth to many little foxes
85
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:54,769
as your grandchildren.
86
00:06:02,740 --> 00:06:03,459
Anything wrong?
87
00:06:03,459 --> 00:06:04,220
You pervert!
88
00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:22,350
What was that about?
89
00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:28,870
How terrifying!
90
00:06:29,579 --> 00:06:31,860
Why would I have that kind of thought?
91
00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:39,810
Le Ning?
92
00:06:42,750 --> 00:06:43,970
Who upset you?
93
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,839
Where are you going?
94
00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:55,649
Your Highness,
95
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,829
what can I do for you?
96
00:07:58,149 --> 00:07:59,908
You took advantage of me.
97
00:08:00,009 --> 00:08:02,009
You think you can just walk away?
98
00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:03,860
Your Highness
99
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:05,060
must be mistaken.
100
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:06,310
I'm a eunuch. How...
101
00:08:06,310 --> 00:08:07,439
You're not a eunuch.
102
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:30,839
No, no, no.
103
00:08:31,439 --> 00:08:33,500
I couldn't have done anything to her.
104
00:08:33,529 --> 00:08:34,389
Your Highness,
105
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,759
although...
106
00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:37,149
we are disheveled,
107
00:08:37,570 --> 00:08:39,288
at least we're still dressed.
108
00:08:39,408 --> 00:08:41,658
Obviously, nothing happened between us.
109
00:08:41,658 --> 00:08:43,840
Even though we didn't do anything sexual,
110
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,240
we did lie in the same bed
111
00:08:46,049 --> 00:08:47,980
and have physical contact, right?
112
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,600
On top of that,
113
00:08:50,980 --> 00:08:52,779
you're not castrated, which means
114
00:08:52,779 --> 00:08:54,190
you gained entry to the palace
through deceit.
115
00:08:54,190 --> 00:08:56,389
That adds to the gravity of your crimes.
116
00:08:58,250 --> 00:08:59,129
Now,
117
00:08:59,350 --> 00:09:01,070
there are two options for you.
118
00:09:01,500 --> 00:09:02,500
One
119
00:09:03,019 --> 00:09:04,159
is death.
120
00:09:05,019 --> 00:09:06,220
The other one...
121
00:09:09,340 --> 00:09:09,940
I choose
122
00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:11,320
to go for a third option.
123
00:09:14,110 --> 00:09:15,029
Then your life
124
00:09:15,059 --> 00:09:16,730
will be in my hands.
125
00:09:17,539 --> 00:09:18,659
From now on,
126
00:09:18,779 --> 00:09:20,500
you must obey me.
127
00:09:21,159 --> 00:09:22,799
If I tell you to go east,
128
00:09:22,820 --> 00:09:24,059
you can't go west.
129
00:09:24,090 --> 00:09:25,519
If I ask you to drink,
130
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,049
you can't do otherwise.
131
00:09:29,620 --> 00:09:30,899
All those...
132
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:33,379
sound like slim pickings.
133
00:09:33,620 --> 00:09:34,620
Can Your Highness
134
00:09:34,769 --> 00:09:36,370
give me some leeway?
135
00:09:36,730 --> 00:09:37,889
This is as good as you can get.
136
00:09:37,889 --> 00:09:39,289
What more can you ask for?
137
00:09:41,980 --> 00:09:42,840
Your Highness,
138
00:09:43,649 --> 00:09:45,279
I helped with the reconciliation
139
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:46,940
between you and the Old Madam.
140
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,669
Given my contribution,
slight though it was, can we both
141
00:09:49,669 --> 00:09:50,659
make a small compromise?
142
00:09:50,659 --> 00:09:51,659
What compromise?
143
00:09:51,850 --> 00:09:53,179
Let's pretend nothing happened.
144
00:09:53,179 --> 00:09:55,039
You call that a small compromise?
145
00:09:55,370 --> 00:09:56,230
Your Highness,
146
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,029
countless people would love
to do your bidding.
147
00:09:59,029 --> 00:10:00,289
Why must you choose me?
148
00:10:00,590 --> 00:10:02,279
Because you're fair-skinned.
149
00:10:02,279 --> 00:10:02,929
What?
150
00:10:03,019 --> 00:10:03,899
No more crap.
151
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,929
Which option will you choose?
152
00:10:05,929 --> 00:10:07,460
If you choose the first one,
153
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,200
I'll have Xiangjiu collect your dead body
right away.
154
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,440
What a vicious woman!
155
00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:17,830
Such a crafty devil!
156
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,980
This vixen has me in her clutches now.
157
00:10:19,980 --> 00:10:21,710
I'll definitely suffer badly.
158
00:10:24,090 --> 00:10:26,549
Xiangjiu is on good terms
with the princess.
159
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,049
I should ask her to put in a good word
for me.
160
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:29,919
Right.
161
00:10:30,259 --> 00:10:31,720
I should talk to Xiangjiu.
162
00:10:34,139 --> 00:10:34,940
Master,
163
00:10:35,330 --> 00:10:36,809
I saw Huo Xiangjiu
164
00:10:37,129 --> 00:10:38,590
run out of the room like crazy.
165
00:10:38,590 --> 00:10:39,789
What did you do to her?
166
00:10:40,049 --> 00:10:41,649
What could I have done to her?
167
00:10:43,509 --> 00:10:45,110
Who knows what you did to her?
168
00:10:46,889 --> 00:10:47,470
Master!
169
00:10:48,809 --> 00:10:49,740
I plan to bring in
170
00:10:49,970 --> 00:10:51,929
some reliable dogs
from outside the palace,
171
00:10:51,929 --> 00:10:53,929
make them smell datura, and have them
172
00:10:53,929 --> 00:10:56,059
conduct a search with us in the palace.
173
00:10:56,340 --> 00:10:57,889
It'll speed up our investigation.
174
00:10:57,889 --> 00:10:58,690
At the moment,
175
00:10:59,090 --> 00:10:59,840
there's a trickier task
176
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,100
than finding Xiangjiu's father.
177
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:02,080
What is it?
178
00:11:03,250 --> 00:11:04,049
Last night,
179
00:11:04,419 --> 00:11:05,820
I saw the Stomach Spirit.
180
00:11:07,779 --> 00:11:09,039
You stay away from her.
181
00:11:09,509 --> 00:11:10,590
Feng Mochen,
182
00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:13,070
I bet you know
183
00:11:13,659 --> 00:11:15,460
I'm not afraid of you.
184
00:11:20,830 --> 00:11:21,820
The Stomach Spirit?
185
00:11:21,820 --> 00:11:23,019
Why would she show up?
186
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,879
Is she going after Huo Xiangjiu?
187
00:11:26,009 --> 00:11:26,450
Yes.
188
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,409
Her target is exactly Xiangjiu.
189
00:11:28,409 --> 00:11:28,970
Oh my!
190
00:11:28,990 --> 00:11:29,720
T-T-This...
191
00:11:30,230 --> 00:11:30,690
is
192
00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:31,570
terrible news.
193
00:11:32,019 --> 00:11:33,279
The Stomach Spirit never appears
without cause.
194
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:35,740
Now that she's out on a hunt,
Huo Xiangjiu...
195
00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:37,470
will be in danger.
196
00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:49,909
Is the information accurate?
197
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,559
Yes, without a doubt.
198
00:11:53,450 --> 00:11:55,039
No wonder Huo Xiangjiu always
199
00:11:55,039 --> 00:11:56,639
meddles in others' affairs.
200
00:11:56,789 --> 00:11:58,860
It turns out she takes from her father.
201
00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:00,399
Look, my son
202
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:01,799
simply seized some houses
203
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:03,139
and abducted a few women
204
00:12:03,159 --> 00:12:04,840
in the Bronze County.
205
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:07,120
He didn't lay a hand on
206
00:12:07,149 --> 00:12:08,789
Huo Zhongren's house or his daughter.
207
00:12:08,789 --> 00:12:10,309
Why did Huo have to intervene?
208
00:12:10,309 --> 00:12:13,110
He was just going out of his way
to cause us trouble.
209
00:12:13,169 --> 00:12:14,330
What a hateful man.
210
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,139
You shouldn't have fooled around
with women
211
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,710
before working in the royal palace.
212
00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:22,309
Your Highness,
213
00:12:22,490 --> 00:12:24,779
that's just what men do.
214
00:12:24,820 --> 00:12:25,730
I knew I wouldn't get to
215
00:12:25,730 --> 00:12:27,929
do that again once I entered the palace.
216
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,399
Besides,
217
00:12:29,570 --> 00:12:30,750
that son of mine...
218
00:12:30,899 --> 00:12:32,600
How many sons do you have?
219
00:12:34,070 --> 00:12:35,830
Everyone has a past.
220
00:12:36,289 --> 00:12:37,029
That son of mine
221
00:12:37,029 --> 00:12:38,539
has been diligent in his duty
222
00:12:38,539 --> 00:12:39,539
to rake in money
223
00:12:39,570 --> 00:12:40,750
for Your Highness
224
00:12:40,789 --> 00:12:42,110
and Lord Gongsun,
225
00:12:42,129 --> 00:12:42,850
hasn't he?
226
00:12:43,529 --> 00:12:45,029
All the gold and silver he's got
227
00:12:45,029 --> 00:12:46,080
have been spent
228
00:12:46,110 --> 00:12:47,679
currying favor with officials
229
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,610
and fending off the other princes.
230
00:12:49,639 --> 00:12:51,860
He hasn't kept a penny for himself!
231
00:12:52,539 --> 00:12:55,200
Huo Xiangjiu came to the palace
with the purpose
232
00:12:55,340 --> 00:12:56,899
of finding her son...
233
00:12:57,740 --> 00:12:59,799
You interrupted my train of thought.
234
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,840
She is looking for her father
235
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,120
Huo Zhongren, who vanished into thin air
236
00:13:05,570 --> 00:13:07,929
right after infiltrating the palace.
237
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,879
Lord Gongsun,
238
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,659
did you do something to...
239
00:13:15,009 --> 00:13:17,269
Attendant Gao, watch your mouth.
240
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:22,649
Although Huo Zhongren
241
00:13:22,669 --> 00:13:24,379
is a low-ranking official,
242
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:26,909
he was appointed to his job by the court.
243
00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:29,389
How would I dare to kill him at will?
244
00:13:31,809 --> 00:13:33,169
Lord Gongsun.
245
00:13:36,059 --> 00:13:37,470
If my father were dead,
246
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,820
I wouldn't hesitate
to eliminate my opponents
247
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:42,620
and stain the palace with blood.
248
00:13:44,059 --> 00:13:45,860
But my father is still alive now.
249
00:13:46,340 --> 00:13:47,700
I have no choice but
250
00:13:48,210 --> 00:13:50,009
to succumb to many constraints.
251
00:13:51,299 --> 00:13:52,820
How very odd.
252
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:54,860
Neither did Your Highness
253
00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:57,269
nor Lord Gongsun kill Huo Zhongren.
254
00:13:58,149 --> 00:14:00,149
Why is he, or a trace of him,
255
00:14:00,259 --> 00:14:01,379
nowhere to be found
256
00:14:01,409 --> 00:14:03,740
in the palace at all?
257
00:14:05,299 --> 00:14:09,500
In fact, compared to Huo Zhongren,
Huo Xiangjiu is a bigger threat to us now.
258
00:14:10,259 --> 00:14:12,279
If she ever finds out
259
00:14:12,309 --> 00:14:14,120
your son's connection to us,
260
00:14:14,460 --> 00:14:16,409
she will surely hold us accountable
261
00:14:16,409 --> 00:14:18,299
for Huo Zhongren's disappearance.
262
00:14:18,299 --> 00:14:20,289
What's worse, Lord Feng has her back now.
263
00:14:20,289 --> 00:14:21,519
Even Princess Ningshuang
264
00:14:21,519 --> 00:14:23,340
has become close friends with her.
265
00:14:23,340 --> 00:14:25,519
We'll be in for a real disaster.
266
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:27,659
In the beginning,
267
00:14:29,090 --> 00:14:31,690
I meant to get Huo Xiangjiu to our side.
268
00:14:32,980 --> 00:14:34,120
But now it seems
269
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:36,080
we have to silence her forever.
270
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:37,879
But she's always with Lord Feng.
271
00:14:38,379 --> 00:14:39,980
I'm afraid it's not that easy
272
00:14:41,019 --> 00:14:42,519
to get rid of her for good.
273
00:14:43,889 --> 00:14:44,809
Killing
274
00:14:45,730 --> 00:14:47,259
becomes effortless
275
00:14:49,820 --> 00:14:51,899
with the right weapon.
276
00:14:56,009 --> 00:14:58,570
Your Highness sounds very confident.
277
00:14:58,809 --> 00:14:59,700
Has
278
00:15:00,470 --> 00:15:02,750
the right weapon been found yet?
279
00:15:05,139 --> 00:15:06,139
Princess Consort
280
00:15:06,940 --> 00:15:08,590
had a drinking party with Feng Mochen,
281
00:15:08,590 --> 00:15:11,850
Huo Xiangjiu, and others
at Ningshuang Palace last night.
282
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:15,740
This proves
283
00:15:16,179 --> 00:15:18,379
she has gained trust from those people.
284
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:19,320
And trust...
285
00:15:24,070 --> 00:15:25,889
is the best weapon of all.
286
00:15:31,809 --> 00:15:33,129
Come on, piggy.
287
00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:34,090
Have some melon.
288
00:15:34,309 --> 00:15:36,309
Look how much my baby is enjoying it.
289
00:15:42,350 --> 00:15:43,149
Red Dragon,
290
00:15:43,620 --> 00:15:44,419
this is
291
00:15:44,779 --> 00:15:46,419
your salary for this month.
292
00:15:47,679 --> 00:15:48,480
Lady Zhao,
293
00:15:48,509 --> 00:15:50,240
why is it only 2 tales of silver?
294
00:15:50,899 --> 00:15:53,529
You were late for roll call
3 times this month.
295
00:15:53,549 --> 00:15:55,070
I was only late for 3 days.
296
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:57,500
How could you deduct 3 taels
from my salary?
297
00:15:57,570 --> 00:15:59,960
You can't take out your frustration on me
for being punished
298
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,139
by Lord Feng and the Crown Prince.
299
00:16:01,139 --> 00:16:02,460
Cut that nonsense!
300
00:16:02,490 --> 00:16:03,669
Only 2 taels of silver for you.
301
00:16:03,669 --> 00:16:04,730
Take it or leave it.
302
00:16:04,740 --> 00:16:05,570
Go away if you don't want it.
303
00:16:05,570 --> 00:16:06,370
Next!
304
00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:07,230
I'll take it.
305
00:16:09,340 --> 00:16:10,149
Piggy, come on.
306
00:16:10,149 --> 00:16:11,080
Have some melon.
307
00:16:15,539 --> 00:16:17,039
The Mentor of Virtue,
Compassion, Benevolence, Rectitude,
308
00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:18,620
Harmony, Wellness, Nurturance, Felicity,
309
00:16:18,620 --> 00:16:19,990
Illumination, Preparedness,
Solemnity, Humanity,
310
00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:22,210
Reverence, Admiration, Dedication,
and Nobility
311
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:23,279
has arrived.
312
00:16:26,139 --> 00:16:27,190
It's the Mentor.
313
00:16:32,620 --> 00:16:33,490
One Bam?
314
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:42,639
Greetings, Mentor.
315
00:16:42,830 --> 00:16:44,529
Greetings, Mentor.
316
00:16:52,139 --> 00:16:52,940
Step aside.
317
00:16:58,580 --> 00:16:59,379
Mentor,
318
00:16:59,730 --> 00:17:01,850
you've risen to prominence now.
319
00:17:01,950 --> 00:17:04,269
You've not only gained Lord Feng's favor,
320
00:17:04,269 --> 00:17:05,250
but also
321
00:17:05,269 --> 00:17:06,660
fraternized with the overweening
322
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:08,098
Princess Ningshuang.
323
00:17:09,618 --> 00:17:10,640
I heard that you had
324
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,269
a drinking party with Princess Consort
325
00:17:12,269 --> 00:17:13,630
last night.
326
00:17:13,818 --> 00:17:14,940
As I said before,
327
00:17:15,118 --> 00:17:15,759
clearly,
328
00:17:15,759 --> 00:17:16,710
you have the look of someone
329
00:17:16,710 --> 00:17:18,240
bound for wealth and prosperity,
330
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,150
which indicates you'll succeed
sooner or later.
331
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:21,348
I was right, wasn't I?
332
00:17:22,029 --> 00:17:22,828
Enough!
333
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,759
Knock it off.
334
00:17:24,078 --> 00:17:25,039
Last month,
335
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:26,660
I worked here for 15 days.
336
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,779
Shouldn't I be paid for that?
337
00:17:29,809 --> 00:17:30,710
Yes, of course.
338
00:17:30,740 --> 00:17:31,779
I heard...
339
00:17:32,210 --> 00:17:35,029
you boldly withheld Le Ning's salary.
Was that so?
340
00:17:35,650 --> 00:17:36,609
Mentor,
341
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,589
you got it wrong.
342
00:17:37,589 --> 00:17:38,180
It wasn't like that.
343
00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:39,599
I just made a calculation error
344
00:17:39,599 --> 00:17:40,200
back then.
345
00:17:40,519 --> 00:17:41,250
Here you are.
346
00:17:41,279 --> 00:17:42,900
Your salary, 5 taels of silver.
347
00:17:42,900 --> 00:17:44,230
It's yours now, Mentor.
348
00:17:44,589 --> 00:17:45,990
Mentor...
349
00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:48,559
Oh, right.
350
00:17:49,529 --> 00:17:50,329
Mentor,
351
00:17:50,390 --> 00:17:52,349
Le Ning is a good friend of yours.
352
00:17:52,380 --> 00:17:53,259
This is for Le Ning.
353
00:17:53,259 --> 00:17:54,000
Le Ning, come here!
354
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:54,599
Take it.
355
00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:56,630
Thank you, Lady Zhao.
356
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,119
That's not right,
357
00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,670
Lady Zhao.
358
00:17:59,670 --> 00:18:01,880
Mentor got full pay for finishing
half a month's work.
359
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:02,980
I was only late for 3 days,
360
00:18:02,980 --> 00:18:05,440
yet more than half of my salary
was deducted.
361
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:07,289
How dare you compare yourself with Mentor?
362
00:18:07,289 --> 00:18:09,420
Do you think I'm abusing my power here?
363
00:18:10,430 --> 00:18:12,630
I've always been
a fair and just administrator.
364
00:18:12,630 --> 00:18:14,130
Mentor did 2 maids' work
365
00:18:14,150 --> 00:18:15,140
when she worked here.
366
00:18:15,140 --> 00:18:15,769
The salaries
367
00:18:15,769 --> 00:18:16,849
for 2 people working 15 days
368
00:18:16,849 --> 00:18:18,000
amount to 5 taels, and 30 days to 10.
369
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,299
Mentor spent 15 days working here,
370
00:18:19,299 --> 00:18:20,180
so her pay is 5 taels.
371
00:18:20,180 --> 00:18:21,289
Aren't I being fair?
372
00:18:21,289 --> 00:18:22,170
Aren't I?
373
00:18:23,710 --> 00:18:24,390
Lady Zhao!
374
00:18:25,730 --> 00:18:26,690
Come with me.
375
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:27,900
Yes.
376
00:18:36,750 --> 00:18:37,390
Move!
377
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:08,170
Shut up!
378
00:19:08,970 --> 00:19:11,039
Don't you speak ill of my good friend.
379
00:19:12,700 --> 00:19:13,859
The two of us are...
380
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,720
-kindred spirits.
-Kindred spirits.
381
00:19:18,849 --> 00:19:19,529
Crazy dog.
382
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:20,500
Where is Xiangjiu?
383
00:19:20,500 --> 00:19:21,359
She's not here.
384
00:19:21,650 --> 00:19:22,710
Where has she gone?
385
00:19:23,019 --> 00:19:23,950
How would I know?
386
00:19:27,900 --> 00:19:29,630
Why does she have to run around?
387
00:19:30,730 --> 00:19:31,930
You really are
388
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,490
shameless and despicable.
389
00:19:33,900 --> 00:19:37,430
How can you drool over another woman
when you're already with one?
390
00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:39,089
What kind of nonsense is that?
391
00:19:39,690 --> 00:19:42,289
I didn't share a bed
with Princess Ningshuang.
392
00:19:43,269 --> 00:19:44,869
I meant Xiangjiu and Le Ning.
393
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,849
Why is Princess Ningshuang
involved?
394
00:19:49,069 --> 00:19:49,869
She's not.
395
00:19:50,579 --> 00:19:52,640
The princess is by no means involved.
396
00:19:55,099 --> 00:19:55,609
Besides,
397
00:19:55,609 --> 00:19:57,269
how is Le Ning part of this now?
398
00:19:57,819 --> 00:19:59,299
Le Ning has a crush on you.
399
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,089
Don't tell me you didn't know.
400
00:20:01,089 --> 00:20:02,539
What does she have to do with me?
401
00:20:02,539 --> 00:20:03,539
I'm not into her.
402
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:05,170
You're not into Le Ning?
403
00:20:05,390 --> 00:20:06,650
Are you insane or what?
404
00:20:06,819 --> 00:20:08,299
Le Ning is wonderful.
Why don't you like her?
405
00:20:08,299 --> 00:20:10,660
Do you mean those who aren't into Le Ning
are all insane?
406
00:20:10,660 --> 00:20:11,509
Then are you insane?
407
00:20:11,509 --> 00:20:12,509
Of course I'm not.
408
00:20:18,009 --> 00:20:19,069
So you're into her?
409
00:20:20,490 --> 00:20:21,509
A dog's love
410
00:20:21,539 --> 00:20:23,140
is different from a human's.
411
00:20:23,569 --> 00:20:25,049
The notion of love in the human world
412
00:20:25,049 --> 00:20:26,049
is far too narrow.
413
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,079
Then tell me.
414
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,160
What's so great about your love?
415
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:32,359
When I love someone,
416
00:20:32,559 --> 00:20:34,359
I devote my all
and ask for nothing in return.
417
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,059
As long as my loved one is happy,
418
00:20:36,059 --> 00:20:37,339
I am happy.
419
00:20:37,710 --> 00:20:39,369
As long as my loved one is fine,
420
00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:40,440
I am fine.
421
00:20:41,029 --> 00:20:43,029
It's just like how I treat my master.
422
00:20:44,279 --> 00:20:45,779
That's how dogs show affection.
423
00:20:45,779 --> 00:20:46,539
Of course!
424
00:20:46,819 --> 00:20:48,700
I can't be describing humans, can I?
425
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:49,609
You lose your mind
426
00:20:49,609 --> 00:20:50,440
when you see a pretty face.
427
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,160

but at least I'm sure

Xiangjiu is nothing like what you said.

She is...

She is a very nice person.
440

There are too many bad people.
441
00:21:17,289 --> 00:21:19,349

I not only worked diligently,

-Huo Xiangjiu!
-What?

You've only been in the powerful's
good graces for a few days.

541
00:24:41,650 --> 00:24:43,400
Lady Zhao will pay us what she owes us.
542
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,180
We'll also receive salaries every month
543
00:24:45,180 --> 00:24:46,430
from now on without working.
544
00:24:46,430 --> 00:24:47,650
Isn't it nice?
545
00:24:48,650 --> 00:24:49,990

546
00:24:50,220 --> 00:24:52,049

and watch Lady Zhao

withhold the other maids' salaries?

But Lady Zhao is offering us money
with no strings attached.
549
00:24:56,630 --> 00:24:58,069
However, one day,
550
00:24:58,099 --> 00:24:59,039

551

556
00:25:09,609 --> 00:25:10,680
How about
557
00:25:10,700 --> 00:25:12,599
we help all those maids to get back
558
00:25:13,130 --> 00:25:14,589
their deducted salaries
559
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:15,759
and strive for
560
00:25:15,789 --> 00:25:17,910
the rest time they deserve?
561
00:25:18,369 --> 00:25:19,230
Think about it.

563
00:25:21,130 --> 00:25:22,529

which holds more worth?
565
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,579
I can't beat you in this argument.
566
00:25:28,579 --> 00:25:31,140
Anyway, I don't think it's wrong
to gain as many benefits
567
00:25:31,140 --> 00:25:32,630
as possible for ourselves, as long as
568
00:25:32,630 --> 00:25:34,089
we're not harming others.
569
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,140
When you bend the rules
570
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,400
for profit,
571
00:25:45,740 --> 00:25:48,539
you're already damaging
the interests of others.
572
00:25:48,779 --> 00:25:51,200
Fairness should be upheld
not just to protect
573
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,910
ourselves, but everyone.
574
00:25:54,819 --> 00:25:57,480
You may subvert fairness for personal gain
now.
575
00:25:57,500 --> 00:25:58,559
But you will wind up
576
00:25:58,829 --> 00:26:02,160
being a victim yourself
when some others do the same one day.
577
00:26:05,650 --> 00:26:06,450
Xiangjiu!
578
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,220
W-What
579
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,369
is going on with you?
580
00:26:09,660 --> 00:26:11,180
I apologize. Alright?
581
00:26:12,250 --> 00:26:13,190
Xiangjiu.
582
00:26:13,799 --> 00:26:14,660
Xiangjiu!

{\an8}[Eastern Palace]
584
00:26:35,500 --> 00:26:36,299
Honey,
585
00:26:37,710 --> 00:26:39,240
you seem to be in a good mood.
586
00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:47,240
Are you still mad at me
587
00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:49,869
for what I did last night?
588
00:26:52,079 --> 00:26:54,359
Lovers' quarrels are soon mended.
589
00:26:55,059 --> 00:26:57,019
There's nothing to hold a grudge over.
590
00:26:57,019 --> 00:26:59,220
You're a man of great talent and vision.
591
00:26:59,299 --> 00:27:00,640
As your wife,
592
00:27:00,970 --> 00:27:02,730
how can I let you be distracted
593
00:27:02,779 --> 00:27:04,440
by a trivial matter like that?
594
00:27:04,940 --> 00:27:06,000
As the saying goes,
595
00:27:06,259 --> 00:27:07,559
a united couple
596
00:27:07,809 --> 00:27:09,049
is invincible.
597
00:27:11,579 --> 00:27:13,339
It seems last night's beating
598
00:27:13,970 --> 00:27:15,210
has really worked.
599
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,559
It has worked quite well.
600
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:22,880
I heard
601
00:27:24,220 --> 00:27:26,170
your good friend fell ill.
602
00:27:27,069 --> 00:27:28,910
Why don't you pay a visit to her?
603
00:27:33,089 --> 00:27:35,269
Just an innocent visit?
604
00:27:48,349 --> 00:27:49,009
Put it here.
605
00:27:50,420 --> 00:27:51,619
Go and have some rest.
606
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,210
I will take good care of her.
607
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,519
Xiangjiu,
608
00:27:55,829 --> 00:27:57,109
get some good rest.
609
00:27:57,140 --> 00:27:58,670
I'll visit you again later.
610
00:28:05,339 --> 00:28:06,220
From today on,
611
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,339
you need to take medicine on time
every day.
612
00:28:08,339 --> 00:28:09,420
You'll have 3 meals a day,
613
00:28:09,420 --> 00:28:11,640
following the diet I designed for you.
614
00:28:12,009 --> 00:28:14,099
You must go to bed before 9 p.m.
every night.
615
00:28:14,099 --> 00:28:14,910
Also,
616
00:28:15,099 --> 00:28:16,460
do not overeat.
617
00:28:16,490 --> 00:28:17,329
Do not get angry.
618
00:28:17,329 --> 00:28:18,269
Do not get sad.
619
00:28:24,329 --> 00:28:25,029
Then
620
00:28:25,059 --> 00:28:26,690
what's the point of living?
621
00:28:27,079 --> 00:28:28,349
Observing my instructions
622
00:28:28,349 --> 00:28:29,480
is your only choice.
623
00:28:29,519 --> 00:28:30,400
Why?
624
00:28:30,549 --> 00:28:31,869
You're in trouble now—
625
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,079
a prominent life threat.

W-Why does she look exactly like me?

She
629
00:28:51,269 --> 00:28:52,529
is the Stomach Spirit.
630
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,420
Why is she in this condition?
631
00:28:57,829 --> 00:28:59,559
Do you remember what I told you?
632
00:29:02,349 --> 00:29:03,950
Flowers can become spirits?
633
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,779
That kind of potential lies in everything.
634
00:29:07,779 --> 00:29:08,299
She
635
00:29:08,630 --> 00:29:09,710
is your stomach.
636
00:29:10,410 --> 00:29:11,890
My... what?

00:29:13,089 --> 00:29:14,529
Your own stomach.
638
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,039
Now,
639
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:24,210
I'm already failing.
640
00:29:25,950 --> 00:29:27,670
The moment I shut down
641
00:29:28,869 --> 00:29:30,150
