00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:45,320
[Melody of Golden Age]
2
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:55,480
[The ad is aired at this period of time]
3
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,000
[Episode 5]
4
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,840
Thank you so much
5
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,200
for what happened today
6
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,360
I see
7
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,280
the one you should thank is someone else
8
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,360
Indeed, quite similar to mine in many ways
9
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,160
But it still can't deceive you
10
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,760
It's not just me
11
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:29,640
The Empress Dowager
12
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,960
It's upright when making statements,
13
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,640
but occasionally reveals
14
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,880
a feminine style between the lines
15
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,200
Yan Xin, on that day,
16
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,200
was highly recommended by PM Zhang
17
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,480
but now she seems willing to help you
18
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,200
I'd say...
19
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,760
It's quite intriguing
20
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,000
Why did the Empress Dowager...
21
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,040
You've got a virtuous wife
22
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,240
The Empress Dowager
23
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:08,560
seems to have taken
24
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,520
that nursery rhyme to heart
25
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,880
The task you were sent to do,
26
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:13,320
is also a difficult task
27
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,240
Be very careful
28
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,040
I will
29
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,040
It seems I wrongly accused Madam
30
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,160
In this incident
31
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,400
She still shows kindness and loyalty
32
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:54,960
If she doesn't write it,
33
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,120
would I not say it myself?
34
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,640
Her saving her husband was a pretext
35
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,440
She wants to use this opportunity
36
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,000
to vindicate Chen Baiyi
37
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
That is her purpose
38
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,400
She actually dare use the Grand Minister
39
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,600
She actually dare use me
40
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,720
Despicable
41
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,080
Forget it
42
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:16,920
She just wants
43
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,520
to uphold justice for Chen Baiyi
44
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,920
How did she know
45
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:22,920
about my handwriting?
46
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,120
She...
47
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,440
She entered your study
48
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,240
No wonder she imitated it so well
49
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:34,959
I can't tell
50
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:37,199
she even has the skill to mimic handwriting
51
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,920
Grand Minister
52
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,360
She touched your papers
53
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,560
Should we...
54
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,200
Keep her
55
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,400
See what other tricks she'll do
56
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,720
There is one thing
57
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,760
that needs to be done immediately
58
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,560
Prince Xian
59
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:06,440
Something's wrong
60
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,000
Outside...
61
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,200
Prince Xian receives the edict
62
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,400
Xiao Zhong receives the edict
63
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,720
In accordance with the time,
64
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,000
I accept this decree
65
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,680
Command Prince Xian
66
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,080
to go to Fengxiang Prefecture for inspection
67
00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:30,440
Prince Xian, Xiao Zhong
68
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:31,840
possesses both literary and martial virtues,
69
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,560
embraces economic principles,
70
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,800
embodies benevolence and righteousness,
71
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,200
demonstrates courage and efficiency,
72
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,400
possessing both virtues and talents,
73
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,640
benefiting the region
74
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:43,520
Currently, Fengxiang Prefecture is suffering from drought and hardship,
75
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,320
and needs strategic planning
76
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,160
and command
77
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:49,360
Appoint Prince Xian to inspect
78
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,720
and supervise the nation's resources,
79
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,000
upholding our country's prestige,
80
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,400
soothing the hearts of the people,
81
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,720
and executing the main tasks
82
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,100
Me, Xiao Zhong
83
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,740
Accept the decree with gratitude
84
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:09,960
When should I set off?
85
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,600
Your Highness
86
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,200
The Empress Dowager has ordered
87
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,000
that it's of great importance
88
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,160
It must not be delayed for a moment
89
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,360
This departure
90
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,760
will be escorted by the Internal Affairs
91
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,000
The Grand Minister has been arranged
92
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,160
Please rest assured, Your Highness
93
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,920
Alright
94
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,280
During my absence
95
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:31,240
Take good care of these flowers
96
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:33,360
The temperature difference is large in the morning and evening
97
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,040
Watering at the time of Si is optimal
98
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Especially my yellow peony robe
99
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,040
Yes
100
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:40,880
Let's go
101
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,160
Your Highness
102
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:42,840
Please
103
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,920
I don't know if the paper worked
104
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,760
Madam
105
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:00,760
Madam
106
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,600
There's news from the palace
107
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,120
The Grand Minister has left the palace
108
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,280
You can rest assured now
109
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,080
You should go to bed early
110
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,400
Alright
111
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,520
Then I'll wait a little longer
112
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,440
Alright
113
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:19,560
Madam
114
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,640
Osmanthus and lotus seed soup
115
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,720
Drink it while it's hot
116
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,040
I don't think I've seen her before
117
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,720
Prime Minister
118
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,120
Yan Xing from the Yan family
119
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,440
is indeed exceptionally intelligent
120
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,600
Shen Du was taken to the palace earlier
121
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,000
And has not returned home since
122
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,240
If you ask about the progress of the case
123
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:13,840
I'm afraid there will be no results
124
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,840
I know where Shen Du is
125
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,280
Today, I met you
126
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,040
just to clarify the Yan's stance
127
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,520
I don't understand
128
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:27,880
Please speak clearly
129
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,200
The Empress Dowager became furious
130
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,080
when hearing the popular nursery rhyme
131
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,240
She immediately issued an edict
132
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:33,720
to let Prince Xian
133
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,880
oversee disaster relief in Fengxiang Prefecture
134
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:36,920
When he left
135
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,520
he didn't even bring any attendants
136
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,640
And he even concealed
137
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,280
the route for the inspection
138
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,040
You believe
139
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:45,760
the Empress Dowager suspects
140
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,800
that Prince Xian is behind the nursery rhyme incident
141
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,960
So she takes action against Prince Xian
142
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:50,720
But
143
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,159
A tiger does not eat its cubs
144
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,520
The road is long and the mountain is high
145
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,000
If something were to happen
146
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,760
It would be too late
147
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,640
Let me ask you
148
00:08:59,919 --> 00:09:01,720
The Empress Dowager controls the court
149
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,240
disregarding the legitimate dynasty of Cang
150
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:04,800
What was the surname of the late emperor?
151
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:05,920
Does the Yan family
152
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,760
even know this in your hearts?
153
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:10,360
I'm wholeheartedly investigating and seeking justice
154
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,320
I, as a mere woman,
155
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,800
do not understand the affairs of the court
156
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,280
Even less can I bear such great responsibilities
157
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:15,920
Naive
158
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:17,880
You desire to enter the court
159
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,320
You're entangled in legal cases
160
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Yet wish to remain innocent
161
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,480
Let alone you, Yan Xing
162
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,880
Even Yan's Family
163
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:26,720
cannot escape involvement
164
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,000
The Empress Dowager values the nation
165
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:30,960
Perhaps you're overthinking it
166
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,960
A series of cases
167
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:32,920
A nursery rhyme
168
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Can it really
169
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,400
cause such a commotion?
170
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Buddha takes the blame
171
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:39,560
This nursery rhyme is cruel
172
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,360
It's directly pointing out the Empress Dowager's illegitimacy
173
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,560
If it spreads,
174
00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:46,280
It won't just involve the Prince Xian
175
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,880
What do you want me to do?
176
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,240
I've had someone investigate
177
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,160
Shen's Family uses carrier pigeons
178
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,280
to issue orders and transmit messages
179
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,680
This trip of the Prince Xian,
180
00:09:55,680 --> 00:09:56,440
They will surely
181
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,960
use carrier pigeons to report
182
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,480
Hurry up
183
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,320
to find the Prince Xian's path
184
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,800
At that time,
185
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,320
whether Shen Du
186
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,960
intends to assassinate the Prince Xian
187
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,440
or genuinely protect him,
188
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,560
We should prepare in advance
189
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,160
Carrier pigeons
190
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:27,120
Why do you act sneakily
191
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,480
in your own mansion?
192
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Just like a thief
193
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Grand Minister
194
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,760
I've been waiting for you
195
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,200
When did you come back?
196
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,120
Did the Empress Dowager trouble you?
197
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,240
You had me worried all night for nothing
198
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,080
Yan Xing
199
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,320
Why pretend?
200
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,280
Do you think by doing this
201
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,600
you'll please me?
202
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,800
You're not falling for it
203
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,320
Forget it then
204
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,400
Are you satisfied?
205
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,320
As a scribe of the Ministry of Justice,
206
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,200
you should know the consequences
207
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,400
of forging memorials
208
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,560
Moreover, your words
209
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:08,080
have caused much trouble in the court
210
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,120
At that time,
211
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,800
I was desperate to save you
212
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,840
I have never written a memorial,
213
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,000
how would I know what to write
214
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,080
and what not to write?
215
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:19,880
Save me
216
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,960
You're treating me like a tool
217
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,720
The night is deep with heavy dew
218
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,440
Grand Minister
219
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,920
Let's go inside and rest quickly
220
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,080
Chen Baiyi, the talent from a humble background,
221
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,560
burns himself in the Ming Hall
222
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,360
After years of hard work and writing,
223
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,400
all his works have been stolen
224
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,360
When will the rot and corruption of the Cang end?
225
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,880
When will the corrupt practices cease?
226
00:11:59,160 --> 00:11:59,960
Everyone
227
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,800
Why must we study diligently
228
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,440
only to be
229
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,120
companions to their noble offspring?
230
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,720
We are just their shadows
231
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,720
We won't stand for it anymore
232
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,320
No more
233
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,360
Look at you poor wretches
234
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,840
Without noble lineage,
235
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,280
you're not even worthy
236
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,080
to enter the Hongwen Institute
237
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,680
Still, you dream of success
238
00:12:15,680 --> 00:12:17,160
Let me tell you
239
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,040
You were born lowly
240
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,040
What are you talking about?
241
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:22,320
Just a scoundrel who steals articles
242
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:28,720
Stop hitting
243
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,040
Stop hitting
244
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,440
Stop hitting
245
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,400
Don't hit
246
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,440
What a disgrace
247
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:37,160
What a disgrace
248
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,320
All the same
249
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:46,720
Empty words
250
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,520
The self-immolation case in Ming Hall
251
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,520
Internal Affairs
252
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,280
What are the confirmed results?
253
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:52,920
Report to the Empress Dowager
254
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,240
Further verification has confirmed
255
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,040
Indeed, as previously stated
256
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,280
Student Chen Baiyi
257
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,200
had his article stolen by the eldest son of the Jin
258
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,240
And he was expelled by Jin family for theorizing
259
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,880
and got publicly humiliated and beaten
260
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,040
Filled with resentment,
261
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:05,960
with no official recourse
262
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,280
Finally committed suicide to uphold his integrity
263
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,240
The students of Hongwen Institute caused trouble
264
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,520
It has not subsided
265
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:15,960
More reports are coming from the south
266
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:17,360
Look
267
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,240
Look
268
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:21,440
Cannot follow the right path
269
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,240
It's difficult to reach the public
270
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,840
Scholars from all over the world
271
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,480
Do they look down on recruiting talents?
272
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,480
Empress Dowager, please calm down
273
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:36,280
Mother
274
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,640
Selecting talents is a great matter for the country
275
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,960
The aristocratic families should not influence it
276
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,520
to maintain the status of the families
277
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,000
causing such disputes
278
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,360
I think
279
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:47,760
whether from humble roots
280
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,880
or aristocratic families
281
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,280
Let's compare them
282
00:13:50,660 --> 00:13:51,920
Select talents
283
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,600
through a fair competition
284
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,520
No
285
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,360
Inheriting positions from ancestors is tradition
286
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,640
How can it change just like that?
287
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,640
Prince Ying spends your days
288
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,760
engaging in poetry competitions
289
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,120
with those commoner students
290
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,120
and get distracted for a moment
291
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,560
Even commoner students
292
00:14:18,560 --> 00:14:20,240
are also citizens of our country
293
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,240
I just speak for them
294
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,480
Why did PM Zhang react so strongly?
295
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,560
Could it be that
296
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,960
that you already knew about
297
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,840
the Jin family's son stealing articles
298
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,640
Empress Dowager, please see through it
299
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,440
I only consider
300
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,880
the interests of the country
301
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,920
We should not be based solely on articles when selecting
302
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,360
Family background is also important
303
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,120
That's not right
304
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,440
Stubbornly upholding the privileges of the aristocracy
305
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,480
has already led to
306
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,000
numerous instances of corruption and fraud
307
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,280
We should select the capable for the positions
308
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Empress Dowager
309
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,240
The deceased in the Ximing Temple case
310
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,160
were all children of the aristocracy
311
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:00,440
Who knows
312
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,520
which commoner was influenced
313
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,200
and committed such acts
314
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,840
Influence?
315
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,880
It is better to relax than to be rigid
316
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,600
Suppressing will never solve the problem
317
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,240
Such a simple truth
318
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,880
How could you not know?
319
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,600
Could it be
320
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,000
you want the Empress Dowager to bear
321
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,200
the unjust reputation
322
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,440
from the commoners?
323
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,200
The loyalty of the courtiers to the Empress Dowager
324
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,960
is evident to the whole world
325
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,720
If you open the door to officialdom,
326
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,960
it would be absolutely inappropriate
327
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,200
Empress Dowager
328
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,040
Alright, PM Zhang
329
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,680
Get up quickly
330
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,880
Your argument
331
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,240
is also for the sake of the country and the people
332
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:43,880
Lord Shen
333
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:45,680
Haven't you already verified
334
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,440
the self-immolation case?
335
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,480
Then, what is your opinion?
336
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,120
Among the commoners,
337
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,600
there're indeed talented individuals
338
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,080
who truly deserve an opportunity
339
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:57,240
I believe
340
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,400
we could select
341
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,520
a fair method of assessment to seek talents
342
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,200
for the Empress Dowager's consideration
343
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,320
Perhaps we could start with
344
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,640
a trial at the Hongwen Institute
345
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,560
To select talented individuals from the commoners for academic study
346
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,200
The Empress Dowager is wise
347
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,760
It's you
348
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,360
Miss, sit over here
349
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,320
Come, have a seat
350
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:39,880
Thanks to you,
351
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,080
my unfilial grandson
352
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,760
can finally rest in peace
353
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,080
Grand Minister
354
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:47,880
Do you still need these bones?
355
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,000
The writings by Scholar Chen
356
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,720
are highly praised by the students
357
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,720
I brought a copy for you
358
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,200
Unfortunately,
359
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,120
I can't read
360
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:02,760
I'll read it to you
361
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,400
Song of the West River
362
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Recalling the plum blossoms at West River,
363
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:13,880
Sending plum blossoms to the northern river,
364
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,440
In a single shirt, apricot cheeks are red
365
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:35,920
Madam is truly willing
366
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,600
to take on tasks herself
367
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,400
But what she truly desires, fairness and justice,
368
00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:45,600
is not easily achieved
369
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,520
I can't figure out
370
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,640
what plans you have up your sleeve
371
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,080
What's wrong?
372
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:24,400
The Empress Dowager has decreed
373
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,280
that the Hongwen Institute will be a trial site
374
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,720
for selecting talented individuals from the commoners for study
375
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,080
Really?
376
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,080
What I mean is,
377
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,960
I never dare overstep in this matter
378
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,600
It's all thanks to your mediation
379
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:48,440
This time,
380
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,440
it will surely bring
381
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,480
her a reputation of keen insight
382
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,480
among the commoner students
383
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,240
Isn't it great?
384
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,080
I'm happy for you
385
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,640
Is this what I care about?
386
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,760
If there are any future actions,
387
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:04,720
inform me in advance,
388
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,320
or else I won't let it go easily
389
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,120
Indeed
390
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:10,000
You, White Impermanence
391
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,360
What reputation do you still want?
392
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:22,280
What are you gonna do
393
00:19:22,500 --> 00:19:23,700
at this late hour?
394
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,320
I'm going out for a walk
395
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,280
Go for a run
396
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,080
If I don't get tired from running
397
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,400
How can one sleep peacefully
398
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,360
next to White Impermanence?
399
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:39,560
Madam
400
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,440
Does she go running every night?
401
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,520
Madam says it helps with sleep
402
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:08,240
It's too bright
403
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,520
The lights haven't changed
404
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,120
Same as before
405
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Do you also find it too bright?
406
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,880
The people in the mansion are used to it
407
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:24,680
I remember
408
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,920
Xichen has a fabric
409
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,080
that can shield the brightness
410
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,920
Go make some curtains
411
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,120
Yes
412
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:31,040
Also
413
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,400
Don't turn on the lights
414
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,560
over there in the future
415
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:41,960
Save on costs whenever possible
416
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Yes
417
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,000
Grand Minister
418
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,440
You have come this far
419
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:25,440
Come in
420
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,880
Hurry down
421
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,520
The identities of the 12 deceased from Ximing Temple
422
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,000
have all been verified
423
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,280
Most of these paired corpses
424
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,720
were familiar with each other in life,
425
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,920
often seen together
426
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:55,360
However, there are two pairs
427
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:56,160
with no apparent connection
428
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,080
before death
429
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:57,560
Didn't they say
430
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,240
the Internal Affairs is always high efficiency?
431
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:00,320
Why is it taking so long
432
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,400
to find nothing out?
433
00:22:05,300 --> 00:22:06,640
All male corpses are land-owning class
434
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,240
and can be recognized quickly
435
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,320
by their appearance and attire
436
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,800
But these female corpses
437
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,880
had their appearances destroyed
438
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,880
and lack household registrations
439
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,120
It indeed took some time
440
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:15,160
Moreover,
441
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,440
the time of their disappearance
442
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:18,720
does not match the time of death
443
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:19,880
Doesn't match?
444
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,960
So do the male deceased?
445
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:24,720
Yes
446
00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:26,820
Two or three month
447
00:22:26,820 --> 00:22:28,420
Or even one and two year between
448
00:22:29,060 --> 00:22:30,160
After the killer got them away,
449
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,820
he can even keep them locked for that long
450
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,660
It indeed increases the risk
451
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,160
Does this correspond
452
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,340
to the missing geishas
453
00:22:36,340 --> 00:22:37,760
previously reported by Yi Liangren?
454
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:38,480
Yes, it does
455
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:39,240
All the missing geishas
456
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,080
in the musician hall
457
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,160
You mean they were all geishas?
458
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,040
Yes
459
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,160
That's not right
460
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:45,920
What's wrong?
461
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:46,960
The jewelry
462
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,560
these female corpses wore
463
00:22:48,660 --> 00:22:49,560
does not match
464
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,360
Take a look at this
465
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:04,280
It's exquisite
466
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,160
The quality looks good at first glance
467
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:12,520
It's quite beautiful
468
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,000
I found it odd at the time
469
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:20,640
that these pieces of jewelry
470
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,920
seemed overly intricate
471
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,360
compared to regular adornments
472
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,320
They don't seem to be from ordinary goldsmiths
473
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:26,720
These things
474
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,560
should not be easily obtained
475
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,000
by ordinary geishas
476
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,600
I don't know much about these
477
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,800
But Chuichui mentioned
478
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,360
renowned artisans
479
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:38,920
usually leave their mark on their works
480
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,000
The goldsmiths of Bijiang Golden Workshop
481
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,880
were once the Imperial Jewelers
482
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,080
who made jewelry for the nobles
483
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:49,560
They surpassed many century-old workshops
484
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,160
within just a decade of establishment
485
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,600
being the leader in the city
486
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Please take your time
487
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,200
Dear guests
488
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,800
May I help you with something?
489
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:01,720
Hairpins
490
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,640
Bring your finest pieces
491
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,440
Yes
492
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:25,960
Madam, are you satisfied?
493
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,320
This one
494
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,720
Madam has a keen eye
495
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,560
How much is this?
496
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:34,680
Fifty taels
497
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:42,680
As I said,
498
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,560
ordinary geishas can't afford it
499
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,600
Husband
500
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,160
I want something beautiful
501
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:03,640
When the shopkeeper arrives,
502
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,640
let him present the best he has
503
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,720
The Purple Bamboo Tea is a tribute nowadays
504
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:16,520
Especially the Yangxian Purple Bamboo Tea,
505
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:17,760
which is a top-tier treasure
506
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:19,880
I was graciously
507
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:20,800
given some before
508
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,960
But I've been reluctant to drink it
509
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,760
Your shop is indeed generous
510
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,380
It's from the master's collection
511
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,560
It's only
512
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,760
for esteemed guests
513
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,080
Has the manager not arrived yet?
514
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,000
So it's the Grand Minister
515
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,400
and madam
516
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,640
What brings you here today?
517
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,560
If my memory serves me right
518
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:44,640
You're Chief Yang
519
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,000
around Prince Ying
520
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,320
The Grand Minister has a sharp eye
521
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,400
to remember a humble servant like me
522
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,240
I'm really honored
523
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,240
Do you recognize
524
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:01,160
these golden ornaments?
525
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,080
This does indeed
526
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,320
come from our Bijiang Golden Workshop
527
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:18,800
Good
528
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,960
I want the list of people
529
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:21,680
who sold these gold ornaments
530
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,800
Grand Minister
531
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,880
You've put me in a difficult position
532
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:33,760
The Gold Workshop welcomes all
533
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,560
with numerous customers coming and going,
534
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,000
We've sold countless
535
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,520
jewelry over the years
536
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,240
How can one possibly remember all?
537
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,360
A hairpin at fifty taels each
538
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:44,160
For ordinary people,
539
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,680
even if one sells everything,
540
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,400
they couldn't afford it
541
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Can't you give me the account?
542
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,960
You might as well tell me
543
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,720
who could help me?
544
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,600
This...
545
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:05,600
When Internal Affairs is handling cases,
546
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:07,240
any concealment
547
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,320
is a serious matter
548
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,960
And you'll bear the responsibility
549
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:13,800
Please wait, Grand Minister
550
00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:17,680
I'll go get it
551
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,920
This one is nice
552
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:48,720
Just this one
553
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,040
Simple
554
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:51,800
Suitable for you
555
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:03,960
Are you giving it to me?
556
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,880
You're not asking me to
557
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,040
buy it myself, right?
558
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,760
The female victim wore these gold ornaments
559
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,640
are indeed quite expensive
560
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,360
Among the list of purchases
561
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,520
there are no courtesans
562
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,840
but there are a few familiar names
563
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:55,800
It's the male victim
564
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:57,880
Exactly
565
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,520
They spared no expense
566
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,320
just to please a woman
567
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,040
This looks like a careless account
568
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,880
Many shipments are only labeled as gifts
569
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,040
with no amounts recorded
570
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,600
and no specific destinations
571
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,960
The Golden Workshop often hosts banquets
572
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,560
inviting the noblewomen of the city
573
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,240
It's likely they were given as gifts
574
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:26,800
Quite generous
575
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,960
Chief Yang is quite impressive
576
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:32,720
There's someone else
577
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:34,840
who's impressive
578
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,960
Chief Yang
579
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,320
is a confidant of the Prince Ying
580
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:41,400
Her rank and status
581
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,240
are beyond ordinary palace servants
582
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,840
But just now, in front of you
583
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,560
she humbly called herself a slave
584
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,920
and obediently handed over this list
585
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,120
It seems
586
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,120
she is afraid of offending
587
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,440
someone of your stature
588
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,200
Putting on an act
589
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,240
In fact, she doesn't want you
590
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,520
to continue investigating the workshop
591
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:01,640
Behind her
592
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,760
it's likely the Prince Ying
593
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,080
Could they be trying to use banquets
594
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,640
to win over officials
595
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,840
and the noblewomen of the palace
596
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,440
and then use their confidants
597
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:12,320
to understand the intentions
598
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,400
and movements of each mansion?
599
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:22,840
No wonder PM Zhang
600
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,200
is so wary of him
601
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,840
Do you know the Prince Ying?
602
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,680
The Prince Ying
603
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:31,960
is highly favored
604
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,280
She appears to indulge all day
605
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,000
but actually, she's quite shrewd
606
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:38,640
But no need to worry
607
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:39,640
She'll probably
608
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:40,760
come to see you soon
609
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,000
What do you mean?
610
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:43,920
Grand Minister
611
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:44,800
Come in
612
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,040
An invitation from the Prince Ying
613
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,480
An invitation from the Prince Ying
614
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,320
for the lady to attend a flower banquet
615
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:05,920
Isn't that Lady Grand Minister?
616
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,560
Wasn't anyone gonna fix her hair?
617
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,520
I just saw it
618
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,000
Lady Wu doesn't look well
619
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:10,680
I heard
620
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,600
that her husband keeps a courtesan
621
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,920
Why did she have to marry
622
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:15,920
that minor official
623
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,280
from the Ministry of Justice?
624
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,240
Men,
625
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,620
whether powerful or not,
626
00:31:19,820 --> 00:31:21,140
whether wealthy or not,
627
00:31:21,140 --> 00:31:22,500
they are all the same
628
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,760
That's right
629
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,240
I also heard
630
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,440
that Mrs. Tang
631
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,320
favored a poor young man
632
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,120
as if he were something special
633
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:30,920
But finally...
634
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,840
that man eloped with a courtesan
635
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:35,520
Why haven't I heard of this?
636
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,960
Do you know why Mrs. Tang
637
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:37,960
has a good relationship
638
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,000
with the Prince Ying?
639
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:39,960
Why?
640
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,680
Because
641
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,600
they both like poor young men
642
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:46,520
That's right
643
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:47,480
Exactly
644
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:48,720
Here she comes
645
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,160
Madam, please forgive me
646
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,920
It's nothing
647
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,360
It's my own carelessness
648
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:02,520
Thank you, Madam
649
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,480
Look
650
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,040
Lady of Grand Minister Shen
651
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:06,040
is so dignified
652
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,320
Isn't she the legitimate daughter of the Yan?
653
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,920
And now,
654
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,920
she looks like a noble lady
655
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,920
It's Mrs Shen's first time attending
656
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:16,040
such a banquet,
657
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,400
she may not be very comfortable
658
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,600
Actually, she's not like this normally
659
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,120
The Mrs Liu just now,
660
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,880
her husband was taken for questioning
661
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,600
by the Internal Affairs a few months ago
662
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:31,880
It's okay
663
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,200
It's just...
664
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,160
Her husband offended someone outside,
665
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,680
Madam is making amends
666
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:39,920
So, Mrs Shen,
667
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,160
don't worry about it
668
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:41,720
They're just
669
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,120
blowing off steam
670
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,840
I see that Mrs Shen's skirt
671
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:48,720
is wet
672
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,600
Let me accompany you
673
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,880
to change your clothes
674
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,200
Let's go
675
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:07,880
This's called the Medicine Spring Pool
676
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,440
Soaking here
677
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,000
can promote health and healing
678
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,120
Mrs Shen, with your wet clothes and cold,
679
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:13,840
Why not go up
680
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,120
and enjoy it?
681
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,440
This is too precious
682
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,480
I'll just...
683
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:19,400
I'm adjusting
684
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,680
the new formula of the Medicine Spring
685
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,280
Since you're here
686
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,800
Help me experience
687
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,720
the effects of this new formula
688
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,440
Mrs. Tang even knows how to blend medicines
689
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,120
I only know the basics
690
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:48,360
That's right
691
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:49,920
The scent of white musk
692
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,000
She was the one watching that day
693
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,400
outside the Ximing Temple
694
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,920
This is the Phoenix Moth
695
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,720
I've heard a legend
696
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,200
that someone who saw a Phoenix Moth
697
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,440
followed it up the mountain
698
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,320
and gained eternal life
699
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:12,720
Mrs. Tang,
700
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:14,320
a person of such temperament
701
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,920
Do you also desire immortality?
702
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,280
In this short life of only a few decades
703
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:25,360
If
704
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,520
there's something you wanna do,
705
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,759
don't hesitate at all
706
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,440
After the passing of youth
707
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,120
to pursue one's dreams
708
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,960
might become a futile effort
709
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:40,600
Absolutely right
710
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:46,040
Come on
711
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,680
Mrs. Shen is intelligent
712
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,560
and has a close relationship with the Grand Minister
713
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:56,920
The series of murders in the city
714
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,319
are in your hands
715
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,040
which is truly reassuring
716
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaking of which,
717
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,319
the Liang family has truly suffered a lot
718
00:35:08,759 --> 00:35:10,279
I used to have regular interactions
719
00:35:10,279 --> 00:35:11,560
with the lady of the Liang Mansion
720
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,200
Such a beauty
721
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,240
But her husband never looked at her
722
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:16,840
Now that
723
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:18,960
they have lost their son
724
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,040
The relationship between Liang's couple is strained
725
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,680
I should mind my own business
726
00:35:25,720 --> 00:35:27,920
I shouldn't let it out
727
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:30,120
Mrs. Shen
728
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:31,400
Please don't take it to your heart
729
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,680
Please also inform Mrs. Liang
730
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,960
that the culprit will be captured soon
731
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:41,600
No matter how well hidden
732
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:45,920
Mrs. Shen
733
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:46,600
Prince Ying
734
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:48,240
invites you to discuss after your bath
735
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:50,480
Got it
736
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,800
It's been two hours already
737
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:12,960
Why hasn't he arrived yet?
738
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,200
Your Highness
739
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,560
The flowers outside are in full bloom
740
00:36:48,240 --> 00:36:50,080
Yet I've even left Mrs. Shen alone
741
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,680
Mrs. Shen, no need to be nervous
742
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,680
I asked you here
743
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,520
is merely for a casual chat
744
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:07,920
However
745
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,960
Focus on the case investigation
746
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:20,080
Please leave the rest alone
747
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,000
Mrs. Shen, being so clever,
748
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,720
You'd understand my intentions
749
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,000
A good bird chooses its tree to perch
750
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,480
Hasn't your husband taught you that?
751
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:47,160
Your Highness
752
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:48,120
Grand Minister is here
753
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,360
to escort Mrs. Shen back home
754
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,640
It's only been half a day,
755
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:56,840
and the Grand Minister
756
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,960
is so concerned about Mrs. Shen
757
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:03,480
It seems that the rumors in the streets
758
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:04,800
are not groundless
759
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:07,840
The bond between you two
760
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,480
is truly enviable
761
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,160
Let him in
762
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,240
Yes
763
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,360
The flower banquet has ended
764
00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:42,960
But Madam is not yet home
765
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,400
She must have lost her way in the vast palace
766
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,360
I was worried
767
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,640
So I came to fetch her
768
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,280
After all,
769
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:50,680
there're many trivial matters at home
770
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,880
that Madam needs to attend to
771
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,080
The Grand Minister came personally to fetch her
772
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,840
If I keep bothering Mrs. Shen
773
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:01,320
it would be impolite
774
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,200
However, there is one thing
775
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,080
I must tell the Grand Minister
776
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,600
The investigation is critical
777
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,600
Thanks for the reminder, Your Highness
778
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,440
Did you get injured?
779
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,280
They're bleeding
780
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:00,320
Has Her Highness forced you
781
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:01,200
to eat something?
782
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,000
Could you have been poisoned?
783
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,200
Thanks for your hard work
784
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,160
Getting on the carriage
785
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,600
Others won't see it anymore
786
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,600
Did you already anticipate
787
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:27,000
that my visiting would be more bad than good?
788
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,440
If a person who has just learned to walk
789
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:32,800
won't stumble
790
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:34,840
they wouldn't know how painful falling is
791
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:37,560
Besides, you've exposed
792
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,120
a trump card of Her Highness
793
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,440
she should give you a knock
794
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,160
It's the two of us who exposed her secrets,
795
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:45,800
yet only I got knocked
796
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:50,600
However,
797
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:52,760
it's okay since you came to...
798
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:53,800
No need to thank me
799
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,120
You wrote a report to save me
800
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,300
So it's just returning the favor
801
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,880
During the previous investigation by the Internal Affairs,
802
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:06,640
was there any discovery
803
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,400
of discord between Liang's couple?
804
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:10,800
What's the point of investigating
805
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:12,440
the inner chambers?
806
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:15,880
The main household has indeed been persistent
807
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,160
in not letting go of the uncles from the second
808
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,160
crying and making a fuss all day long
809
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,520
Fortunately, Liang Jiren
810
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:21,800
has a general idea
811
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:23,320
He hasn't made things difficult for the second
812
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:26,680
Liang Chenzhong is the only son,
813
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:28,280
and the main household
814
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,600
has been cut off by the murderer
815
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:33,000
There are many who hate him,
816
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,320
even if he wasn't heart-ripped,
817
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:35,680
he wouldn't have lived much longer
818
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,600
The killer who poisoned Dripping Guanyin
819
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,120
also holds murderous intentions
820
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:40,760
It's just
821
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:42,620
not as fast as the serial killer
