<i> Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.</i>

2
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,990
<i>Watching the person in the mirror's countenance pale and grow haggard, </i>

3
00:01:16,990 --> 00:01:23,620
<i>Examining love together with regret, both new and old.</i>

4
00:01:23,620 --> 00:01:30,700
<i>Keeping watch still by a lantern though it is daybreak, drenched with tears,</i>

5
00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:39,680
<i>Watching others meet as promised, as twilight falls.</i>

00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,460
<i>Story of Yanxi Palace<br>Episode 55</i>

7
00:01:50,530 --> 00:01:55,260
His Majesty's passion won't be extinguished so fast

8
00:01:55,260 --> 00:01:58,910
The human heart is the hardest to fathom .

9
00:01:58,910 --> 00:02:01,650
His Majesty has pampered Consort Ling for so long

10
00:02:01,650 --> 00:02:04,530
He's just furious for the time being but once calmed,

11
00:02:04,530 --> 00:02:07,660
he might think of her again

12
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:10,760
Then we busied ourselves for nothing.

13
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,040
Look at you. So foolish that it's adorable.

14
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,840
One hole may cause the collapse of a thousand-mile dike.

15
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,030
A hundred rooms can be burned with just one light of fire.

16
00:02:20,030 --> 00:02:24,170
Matters of the world don't see results overnight.

17
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:40,070
His Majesty has been sleeping at Yanxi Hall all along?

18
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:41,780
It's really true.

19
00:02:41,780 --> 00:02:46,850
His Majesty came back from Changchun Palace and threw such a fiery temper last time.

20
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,690
Since then, he's not gone to Yanxi Palace again.

21
00:02:51,690 --> 00:02:55,160
It's been so many days but the anger hasn't dissipated still.

22
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,440
That day at Changchun Palace . . .

23
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,970
Hailan Cha, follow me.

24
00:02:57,970 --> 00:02:59,590
Yes.

25
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,100
Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

26
00:03:04,910 --> 00:03:07,130
Your Majesty!

27
00:03:08,270 --> 00:03:09,740
Go.

28
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:14,700
Stop. Go.

29
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:19,520
Stop. Back, back.

30
00:03:20,830 --> 00:03:24,160
<i>Erqing, on the day Late Empress died, </i>

31
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,280
<i>she exposed her liaison with Your Majesty completely. </i>

32
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,390
<i>Causing Empress to feel indignation and angry, completely disheartened. </i>

33
00:03:33,390 --> 00:03:38,130
<i>Hence, she must die. </i>

34
00:03:38,130 --> 00:03:42,300
<i>Completely disheartened. Completely disheartened.</i>

35
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,180
Stop.

36
00:03:48,900 --> 00:03:50,020
Go.

37
00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:53,730
Your Majesty. Your Majesty!

38
00:03:53,730 --> 00:03:55,610
Your Majesty!

39
00:04:07,030 --> 00:04:08,500
Go.

40
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:17,000
Stop.

41
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,660
Your Majesty, you've run the horse without half a word.

42
00:04:28,660 --> 00:04:33,680
I am not as smart as Fuheng and I can't fathom what you're thinking.

43
00:04:37,390 --> 00:04:39,200
Hailan Cha.

44
00:04:41,420 --> 00:04:43,980
I made a mistake.

45
00:04:45,410 --> 00:04:47,730
I owe a person.

46
00:04:50,220 --> 00:04:54,310
Your Majesty, everyone in the world makes mistakes.

47
00:04:54,310 --> 00:04:56,830
Why must you be so strict with yourself?

48
00:04:56,830 --> 00:04:58,190
No.

49
00:05:00,470 --> 00:05:06,060
This mistake, I cannot make amend for it ever.

50
00:05:06,060 --> 00:05:11,490
Your Majesty, we can't go back to the past. If we can't make amends,

51
00:05:11,490 --> 00:05:14,610
then we should forget it.

52
00:05:18,570 --> 00:05:20,210
No.

53
00:05:22,590 --> 00:05:24,660
You don't understand.

54
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:32,140
Rongyin. She became my legal wife at the age of 15.

55
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:37,490
And I let her, who is like a stem of flourishing flower,

56
00:05:38,900 --> 00:05:41,940
slowly withered away in Forbidden City.

57
00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:50,520
Your Majesty. You're shouldering all the hopes of all Great Qing citizens.

58
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,660
How can you adapt to every sentiment of the harem?

59
00:05:54,660 --> 00:05:58,380
As Your Majesty's consort, one must learn to divert herself from loneliness.

60
00:05:58,380 --> 00:06:02,920
Or else, she will be ache gravely but that isn't Your Majesty's fault.

61
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,970
But she isn't just any common woman.

62
00:06:08,790 --> 00:06:11,790
She's my legal wife, knotted by hair.

63
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,500
Knotted by hair and mind, together forever.

64
00:06:18,170 --> 00:06:20,570
In that journey,

65
00:06:26,030 --> 00:06:28,340
she broke that promise.

66
00:06:33,230 --> 00:06:35,820
Before Consort Ling interrogated me,

67
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:40,660
I had been very disappointed by Rongyin's melancholy.

68
00:06:41,230 --> 00:06:43,570
She was a perfect wife.

69
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,770
But she wasn't a competent empress.

70
00:06:47,770 --> 00:06:51,170
Her shoulders were just too weak.

71
00:06:52,190 --> 00:06:57,410
Empress's phoenix crown made her unable to breathe.

72
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,790
Her death,

73
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,530
is perhaps the best relief for her.

74
00:07:10,300 --> 00:07:11,990
But to me,

75
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,030
it's a scandal I must cover.

76
00:07:19,510 --> 00:07:23,950
Now I see that it wasn't she who had too much heart.

77
00:07:27,340 --> 00:07:30,150
It was me who was too heartless.

78
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,570
Go.

79
00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:38,790
Stop. Give me your tag.

80
00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:44,910
I am Imperial Medicine's eunuch.

81
00:07:44,910 --> 00:07:47,110
I was ordered to dispose old medicines.

82
00:07:47,110 --> 00:07:50,000
- Open for me to see. <br>- Yes.

83
00:07:55,180 --> 00:07:57,700
These are all medicines damaged by insect.

84
00:07:57,700 --> 00:07:59,680
We are supposed to throw them all away.

85
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,370
But Imperial Medicine's royal physicians can't bear to.

86
00:08:02,370 --> 00:08:07,460
So they told me to deliver all these to Chongwen Gate to sell at discount.

87
00:08:07,460 --> 00:08:10,840
To subsidize usual expenditures at Imperial Medicine.

88
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,050
Sir, look at how the sun is already leaning to the west.

89
00:08:14,050 --> 00:08:16,590
I am in a rush to leave the palace.

90
00:08:16,590 --> 00:08:19,870
May you give me a convenience.

91
00:08:19,870 --> 00:08:21,500
Stop.

92
00:08:22,190 --> 00:08:23,150
Greetings to Your Majesty.

93
00:08:23,150 --> 00:08:25,790
Hailan Cha, go check.

94
00:08:31,820 --> 00:08:34,150
Check what's in the sac.

95
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:51,900
Your Majesty, it's perfectly fine caterpillar fungus.

96
00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:56,700
How dare you mix in precious caterpillar fungus in here.

97
00:08:56,700 --> 00:09:00,050
May Your Majesty dissipate your anger. I deserve to die.

98
00:09:00,050 --> 00:09:03,560
Who are you secretly transporting out the medicines for?

99
00:09:05,860 --> 00:09:09,610
It's Physician Ye. Ye Tianshi.

100
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,210
Check Imperial Medicine Bureau thoroughly.

101
00:09:14,210 --> 00:09:19,260
I want to see if this insect is actually a human or a ghost.

102
00:09:20,290 --> 00:09:24,560
- Your Highness, ten thousand good fortunes.<br>- Your Highness, ten thousand good fortunes.

103
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,680
This is?

104
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:31,860
This is parrot Lord Syge brought for you for entertainment.

105
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:35,690
It was trained for a long time, just to learn this one phrase.

106
00:09:36,570 --> 00:09:39,110
That paternal cousin of mine is always a yes-man.

107
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:43,450
Even when a leaf drops from the tree, we are afraid it will hit him on the head.

108
00:09:43,450 --> 00:09:47,820
A man like him has learned to fawn and encourage?

109
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:53,120
Since the Silkworm Ceremony, your father's elder brother, Lord Rodo came to visit as well.

110
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,410
For no other reason than to aspire for your support.

111
00:09:55,410 --> 00:09:57,990
This is all understandable.

112
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,050
This is from Prince He.

113
00:10:03,050 --> 00:10:06,320
Prince He? How?

114
00:10:07,210 --> 00:10:08,920
Such a precious parrot.

115
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,170
Only the connoisseur who can toddle birds in Forbidden City,

116
00:10:12,170 --> 00:10:17,180
the most absurd prince of the Asin-Gioro clan can afford it.

117
00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:22,200
Your Highness, if Prince He wants to gift you, why the turn and coil?

118
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,650
Come.

119
00:10:23,650 --> 00:10:25,970
Greetings to Your Highness the Empress.

120
00:10:25,970 --> 00:10:28,170
What is it?

121
00:10:28,170 --> 00:10:31,320
Your Highness, Guard Suolun just brought a group of people,

122
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,930
marching towards Imperial Medicine Bureau looking angry.

123
00:10:33,930 --> 00:10:37,500
I was worried something might happen, so I rushed to report.

124
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:42,060
Imperial Guards are all young and strong with good control of the sword.

125
00:10:42,060 --> 00:10:46,170
If they frighten the imperial physicians, who would dare to treat illness and save people in the future?

126
00:10:46,170 --> 00:10:47,970
Then you mean . . .

127
00:10:47,970 --> 00:10:51,000
You're the head eunuch of Interior Bureau.

128
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,790
Forbidden City matters should be at your disposal.

129
00:10:54,790 --> 00:10:59,580
I obey Your Majesty's will. I take my leave.

130
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:08,420
Your Highness, the people in the palace sure know how to read which way the wind is turning.

131
00:11:08,420 --> 00:11:11,560
After Silkworm Ceremony, even Supervisor Wu is more diligent.

132
00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:14,700
He's still not someone I promoted.

133
00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:17,000
His usage is not so convenient.

134
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,200
Three bowls of water boiled down to half a bowl. Once a day, for half a month.

135
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,730
Yes.

136
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,070
Oh, Guard Suolun.

137
00:11:35,070 --> 00:11:37,290
What's happened?

138
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:39,380
- Take him down. <br>- What?

139
00:11:39,380 --> 00:11:41,790
What crime have I committed? What is this doing?

140
00:11:41,790 --> 00:11:44,950
We'll find out very soon whether you are with crime.

141
00:11:44,950 --> 00:11:46,850
Search.

142
00:11:46,850 --> 00:11:48,400
Wait.

143
00:11:49,220 --> 00:11:51,360
What are you searching for?

144
00:11:53,820 --> 00:11:56,990
Sir Suolun, what's going on?

145
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:06,910
Those herbs are very precious. Don't be reckless with them.

146
00:12:06,910 --> 00:12:10,420
We found one bunch of insect-damaged medicines in the backyard and nothing else.

147
00:12:10,420 --> 00:12:12,930
So this is over that bunch of medicines?

148
00:12:12,930 --> 00:12:16,530
Sir Suolun, those herbs were all damaged by insects.

149
00:12:16,530 --> 00:12:19,820
The mistresses in the palace are precious. Who would use those damaged medicines?

150
00:12:19,820 --> 00:12:23,940
I had someone take them out, out of goodwill.

151
00:12:23,940 --> 00:12:26,480
How did it become such a fuss?

152
00:12:27,730 --> 00:12:30,420
Royal Physician Ye, of course I trust you .

153
00:12:30,420 --> 00:12:34,600
But someone mixed in precious caterpillar fungus in it on purpose.

154
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,760
This is a theft of palace medicines. Not a light crime.

155
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:42,200
Caterpillar fungus? Why didn't I see it?

156
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,690
- Sir Suolun.<br>-Sir Suolun.

157
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:50,040
- Sir Suolun. <br>- Supervisor Wu, what brings you here?

158
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,190
Interior Bureau manages small and big matters of the palace.

159
00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:55,910
This transport was done by an eunuch.

160
00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:59,480
As the supervisor, I can't just not act.

161
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,350
We've already searched here.

162
00:13:01,350 --> 00:13:04,690
You have searched but I haven't.

163
00:13:04,690 --> 00:13:07,570
You mean, you don't trust Imperial Guards?

164
00:13:07,570 --> 00:13:09,720
Oh, I don't dare.

165
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,500
But Imperial Guards and His Majesty.

166
00:13:12,500 --> 00:13:15,020
You all manage proper and upright grand matters.

167
00:13:15,020 --> 00:13:17,570
The trivial pettiness that happens in the palace,

168
00:13:17,570 --> 00:13:19,330
you won't decipher it clear.

169
00:13:19,330 --> 00:13:23,030
Come. Search the entire place.

170
00:13:23,030 --> 00:13:25,610
Search all through the rooms of the royal physicians too.

171
00:13:25,610 --> 00:13:27,540
Since precious medicines got out,

172
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:29,940
we need to examine the ledger with the medicines in and out in the last year.

173
00:13:29,940 --> 00:13:34,120
Open your eyes wide and match line by line. Not one miss!

174
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,110
- Hurry. <br>- Yes.

175
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:54,840
What is the sighing for out of nowhere?

176
00:13:55,650 --> 00:13:58,250
Since the Changchun Palace incident,

177
00:13:58,250 --> 00:14:02,210
His Majesty hasn't come to Yanxi Palace for so long, right?

178
00:14:03,250 --> 00:14:06,820
It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so riled up.

179
00:14:06,820 --> 00:14:09,510
You said to be decisive and resolute at the time.

180
00:14:09,510 --> 00:14:11,310
So soon and you've changed your thought?

181
00:14:11,310 --> 00:14:15,940
Of course I don't regret but I'm afraid you might regret.

182
00:14:15,940 --> 00:14:18,340
In the past, no matter how busy His Majesty is,

183
00:14:18,340 --> 00:14:21,050
he'd come and sit a bit at Yanxi Palace.

184
00:14:21,050 --> 00:14:23,210
- Now . . .<br>- You know clearly it's to no avail.

185
00:14:23,210 --> 00:14:27,760
Then don't regret over something that happened. Waste of time.

186
00:14:29,950 --> 00:14:34,250
Yingluo. Maybe you can go soft on His Majesty?

187
00:14:34,250 --> 00:14:36,630
His Majesty amidst anger.

188
00:14:36,630 --> 00:14:38,470
If I go now to submit,

189
00:14:38,470 --> 00:14:41,560
that's waiting for him to throw me out of Yangxin Hall.

190
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,750
Why bother bring that humiliation to myself?

191
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:47,720
- But we can't just wait. <br>- I'm just not going.

192
00:14:48,370 --> 00:14:52,400
If you really don't care, then why did you draw the brank crooked?

193
00:14:58,890 --> 00:15:01,990
Since I'm drawing a willow tree.

194
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,840
I concede.

195
00:15:22,900 --> 00:15:24,560
Clear it.

196
00:15:26,380 --> 00:15:28,930
Your Majesty, I know your appetite isn't well,

197
00:15:28,930 --> 00:15:33,450
so all the food that was prepared are vegetable dishes.

198
00:15:33,450 --> 00:15:35,850
Look, this mushroom stewed with cabbage.

199
00:15:35,850 --> 00:15:40,920
Honey cake. Fruit congee. Egg soup. All very light.

200
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,310
Your Majesty. If this really won't do, this pine flower with candied mushroom.

201
00:15:48,310 --> 00:15:51,340
Light and fragrant, melts in your mouth.

202
00:15:51,340 --> 00:15:54,580
Or else, at least eat a couple bites of silk thread noodle.

203
00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:57,800
Or else, I am worried.

204
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,700
Today's meal wasn't made by Zhang Dongguan, right?

205
00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:02,730
Your Majesty, did you forget?

206
00:16:02,730 --> 00:16:06,680
Zhang Dongguan was sent to Yanxi Palace by you.

207
00:16:10,620 --> 00:16:12,300
No wonder I can't get used to it.

208
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:13,670
Your Majesty,

209
00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:17,550
Chef Zhang's Suzhou cuisine is Godly.

210
00:16:17,550 --> 00:16:20,220
Especially that Suzhou meat dish.

211
00:16:20,220 --> 00:16:23,130
That fragrant broth and that untiring sweetness.

212
00:16:23,130 --> 00:16:25,990
No one can compare in the palace.

213
00:16:26,930 --> 00:16:30,480
Your Majesty, perhaps you can bear the fatigue,

214
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,640
and move to Yanxi Palace?

215
00:16:34,490 --> 00:16:36,870
Who said I am going to Yanxi Palace?

216
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:39,590
She poisoned the wife of a first-rank duke in the palace.

217
00:16:39,590 --> 00:16:42,090
Clearly she didn't care about me

218
00:16:43,890 --> 00:16:48,280
No sign of repent afterwards. A woman like her?

219
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,060
May Your Majesty's anger dissipate.

220
00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:53,070
But it's because Consort Ling is arrogant and despotic,

221
00:16:53,070 --> 00:16:57,010
that you really shouldn't let Imperial Chef Zhang remain at Yanxi Palace.

222
00:16:57,010 --> 00:17:01,100
But Consort Ling's temperament can be unreasonable and us servants can't afford to serve her.

223
00:17:01,100 --> 00:17:03,680
We really can't ask him back.

224
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:08,750
Who said you could usurp and slander Consort Ling?

225
00:17:08,750 --> 00:17:12,150
I deserve to die. Deserve to die.

226
00:17:14,450 --> 00:17:18,190
Your Majesty, so as for Yanxi Palace,

227
00:17:18,190 --> 00:17:21,140
- are you going or not? <br>- I'm goig.

228
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:24,500
Why should I leave the best chef in the world to her?

229
00:17:25,570 --> 00:17:28,180
Reporting to Your Majesty. Empress says she has urgent matter.

230
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:31,030
She's asked you to come to Chengqian Palace.

231
00:17:32,530 --> 00:17:38,200
Wu Shulai, tell everything you found out to His Majesty.

232
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:44,890
Speak. I want to know as well,

233
00:17:44,890 --> 00:17:47,440
Imperial Medicine's embezzlement.

234
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,280
How is that linked to Consort Ling?

235
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,590
Your Majesty, I searched through one year's worth of medicine ledger of the royal physician's court.

236
00:17:53,590 --> 00:17:56,550
Ye Tianshi has been checking Consort Ling's wellness pulse all along.

237
00:17:56,550 --> 00:17:58,590
And he's prescribed tonic to restore the body.

238
00:17:58,590 --> 00:18:02,060
I compared the medicinal herb uses.

239
00:18:02,060 --> 00:18:05,060
Not only were ginseng and wolfberry were used in large amount,

240
00:18:05,060 --> 00:18:06,860
there was also . . .

241
00:18:07,610 --> 00:18:09,420
Continue.

242
00:18:09,420 --> 00:18:11,470
Consort Ling . . .

243
00:18:12,550 --> 00:18:15,340
She's been taking contraceptive tonic all along.

244
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:27,550
Your Majesty, Consort Ling receives royal favor.

245
00:18:27,550 --> 00:18:29,550
By convention, she shouldn't do so.

246
00:18:29,550 --> 00:18:32,950
I think she may have her reason.

247
00:18:32,950 --> 00:18:35,910
May Your Majesty not be angry. We can check slowly.

248
00:18:35,910 --> 00:18:38,620
Don't startle.

249
00:18:47,710 --> 00:18:55,620
<i> Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.</i>

250
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:01,460
Greetings to Your Majesty.

251
00:19:01,460 --> 00:19:02,820
Get lost.

252
00:19:10,990 --> 00:19:11,950
Your Majesty.

253
00:19:11,950 --> 00:19:14,840
The tonic you've been using for long term.

254
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,980
What medicine is it really?

255
00:19:20,890 --> 00:19:23,550
Looking at your expression,

256
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,310
you're acknowledging it.

257
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,280
Why?

258
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,290
Your Majesty. This matter . . .

259
00:19:46,290 --> 00:19:49,470
I am asking. Why?

260
00:19:52,510 --> 00:19:58,030
You won't speak, then I will speak for you.

261
00:20:02,020 --> 00:20:04,920
Since Yuanming Garden,

262
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,250
you made up your mind to get rid of Noble Consort Chun,

263
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:13,230
to avenge for Rongyin, is that right?

264
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:16,360
Yes.

265
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:20,430
You found ways and schemes to get on Empress Dowager's good side.

266
00:20:20,430 --> 00:20:25,320
It was directed at me. Wasn't it?

267
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,300
Yes.

268
00:20:31,300 --> 00:20:35,590
You kept me neither close nor distant. Desire then resist.

269
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,580
It's your intention to grasp me tight to your palm. No.

270
00:20:42,830 --> 00:20:45,660
You wanted to soar to the sky with few steps.

271
00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:50,420
To earn the right to be fight with Noble Consort Chun. Is that right?

272
00:20:55,490 --> 00:20:56,750
Yes.

273
00:20:56,750 --> 00:20:58,810
As you wished.

274
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,860
Su Jinghao is dead.

275
00:21:03,740 --> 00:21:05,540
To your eyes,

276
00:21:06,770 --> 00:21:08,770
I am useless now.

277
00:21:08,770 --> 00:21:13,600
So you've gone cold completely. Isn't it?

278
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,590
Speak. Is it or not?

279
00:21:23,890 --> 00:21:26,560
Since Your Majesty knows it all now.

280
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,820
What's there to ask?

281
00:21:29,820 --> 00:21:32,460
I want to hear you say personally.

282
00:21:39,490 --> 00:21:41,350
Yes.

283
00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:46,070
Your Majesty's supposition isn't wrong.

284
00:21:49,810 --> 00:21:52,930
It was precisely to avenge for Late Empress,

285
00:21:54,430 --> 00:21:57,050
that I became your consort.

286
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,840
In order ruin Noble Consort Chun,

287
00:22:01,990 --> 00:22:04,520
I exhausted myself,

288
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,900
to court your glee.

289
00:22:09,620 --> 00:22:12,270
Since I've done by revenge now,

290
00:22:12,990 --> 00:22:15,280
Your Majesty is to me,

291
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,180
no longer holding a value of use.

292
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:22,110
So naturally I don't need to continue to fawn at you.

293
00:22:22,110 --> 00:22:24,120
Since you don't need me,

294
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:28,990
why did you personally make the mink fur hat for me?

295
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,200
Guilt.

296
00:22:38,020 --> 00:22:39,910
What did you say?

297
00:22:42,830 --> 00:22:45,750
Because Your Majesty treated me too well.

298
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:46,960
So well that I felt guilty.

299
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,930
But you still drank contraceptive tonic!

300
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,770
Because to your eyes,

301
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,680
I am nothing at all.

302
00:23:00,650 --> 00:23:03,020
I am a pawn in your hand.

303
00:23:03,020 --> 00:23:04,980
To be used by others.

304
00:23:05,660 --> 00:23:07,980
Do you feel compromised, Your Majesty?

305
00:23:09,610 --> 00:23:12,720
Late Empress was more compromised than you!

306
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,000
Wei Yingluo. What do you want to say exactly?

307
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,470
Pain. Once it starts, it's forever.

308
00:23:27,970 --> 00:23:30,630
Side by side but unaware.

309
00:23:32,820 --> 00:23:36,640
parting of death that is grief above all griefs.

310
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,000
Compliant to lose yourself.

311
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,690
Your Majesty personally made a poem of grief for her.

312
00:23:43,690 --> 00:23:47,930
Each word sincere, touching the reader thoroughly.

313
00:23:47,930 --> 00:23:49,780
The world will only know,

314
00:23:49,780 --> 00:23:53,010
Your Majesty's devotion to Late Empress.

315
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,090
But no one knows,

316
00:23:56,930 --> 00:23:59,990
Late Empress, why she really died.

317
00:23:59,990 --> 00:24:01,170
You shut up!

318
00:24:01,170 --> 00:24:03,230
Your Majesty dares to act.

319
00:24:04,100 --> 00:24:06,000
Why don't you dare to listen?

320
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,600
So many women in the world.

321
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,990
Why did you favor Hitara Erqing?

322
00:24:11,990 --> 00:24:15,100
She is Late Empress's sister-in-law.

323
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,560
New Year's Eve.

324
00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:21,350
Empress suffered the pain of losing a young child.

325
00:24:22,380 --> 00:24:25,400
And received such grave humiliation.

326
00:24:26,250 --> 00:24:28,400
If that can be tolerated,

327
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:31,670
what cannot be tolerated?

328
00:24:32,420 --> 00:24:36,090
You finally speak your true mind.

329
00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:39,280
In your heart,

330
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,170
I am just someone who tarnishes his subject's wife.

331
00:24:43,170 --> 00:24:46,380
A despicable lowlife who forgets loyalty over woman.

332
00:24:49,980 --> 00:24:53,350
Your Majesty dares to say you feel no guilt?

333
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,450
I do not.

334
00:24:57,450 --> 00:24:59,570
Whether that's true.

335
00:24:59,570 --> 00:25:02,230
Your Majesty's heart is most clear on it.

336
00:25:24,180 --> 00:25:28,820
When Empress was alive, you used her.

337
00:25:29,460 --> 00:25:34,690
When Empress died, you still won't let her go.

338
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,460
13th year in Qianlong's reign.

339
00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:42,520
Imperial Hanlin Academy, Ministry of Rites and Imperial Clan Court.

340
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:47,500
All suffered heavy rebuke over Late Empress's funeral.

341
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:53,280
Liangjiang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hubei and Hunan. Total of 53 officials.

342
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,830
Due to their letters asking to come to the capital to attend the ceremony, they were all punished.

343
00:25:57,830 --> 00:26:01,350
Shengjing, Ningxia, Hangzhou, many eight-banner relatives in various places.

344
00:26:01,350 --> 00:26:05,100
They went against the national mourning and were granted hair-shaving, or granted suicide.

345
00:26:05,100 --> 00:26:09,160
Or disposal from their post. Your Majesty went on a slaughter campaign.

346
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,930
Other than your guilt towards Empress,

347
00:26:12,770 --> 00:26:15,540
is it really not a case of finding pretext to make a fuss?

348
00:26:17,650 --> 00:26:21,500
These words must have been hidden in your heart for long.

349
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:23,240
Yes.

350
00:26:24,740 --> 00:26:29,380
I have always wanted to seek an answer from you for Late Empress.

351
00:26:30,740 --> 00:26:34,230
When I ascended to the throne,

352
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,740
I obliged to public sentiment and ruled with leniency.

353
00:26:40,430 --> 00:26:45,670
It was to pacify the wounds brought upon by Lat Emperor's harshness.

354
00:26:45,670 --> 00:26:49,860
In order for Great Qing's hundreds of officials to be content with their duties,

355
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,000
to let the people each content with their own industry.

356
00:26:54,820 --> 00:26:57,110
13 years passed.

357
00:26:57,710 --> 00:27:01,720
Great Qing officials all depend on my leniency.

358
00:27:02,510 --> 00:27:07,600
Each and every holding sinecure, ignoring their duty.

359
00:27:09,310 --> 00:27:11,680
I needed a knife.

360
00:27:12,540 --> 00:27:16,670
To kill the chicken to warn off the monkey, to purge my officaldom.

361
00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:23,140
And Late Empress is that knife of mine.

362
00:27:24,110 --> 00:27:26,250
Your Majesty.

363
00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:30,870
Fuca Rongyin lived as Great Qing's empress.

364
00:27:30,870 --> 00:27:33,170
Even in death,

365
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,040
I will put her to her last use.

366
00:27:39,550 --> 00:27:41,780
You are really too heartless.

367
00:27:41,780 --> 00:27:43,790
Wei Yingluo.

368
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,890
I am too good to you.

369
00:27:48,770 --> 00:27:51,540
I let you forget one important matter.

370
00:27:51,540 --> 00:27:53,860
I am an emperor.

371
00:27:54,870 --> 00:27:57,480
An emperor is naturally heartless.

372
00:27:58,620 --> 00:28:02,110
And I allow no one to challenge my authority.

373
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,850
Since you entered the palace, you belong to me.

374
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,590
No matter you are inclined or not.

375
00:28:10,590 --> 00:28:16,330
This entire life. You will be confined to Forbidden City.

376
00:28:17,250 --> 00:28:19,050
Until your old age.

377
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,200
Until you die.

378
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,230
By the way,

379
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:46,330
that medicine. You needn't take it anymore .

380
00:28:48,890 --> 00:28:51,200
You won't need it again.

381
00:28:55,030 --> 00:29:01,990
<i> Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.</i>

382
00:29:44,190 --> 00:29:46,610
<i>Yanxi Palace</i>

383
00:30:09,980 --> 00:30:12,500
Yingluo, Supervisor Li just told me,

384
00:30:12,500 --> 00:30:14,340
there was medicine theft in the palace.

385
00:30:14,340 --> 00:30:16,250
Imperial Medicine Bureau was searched thoroughly.

386
00:30:16,250 --> 00:30:18,470
Physician Ye has been jailed too.

387
00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:22,420
Can you tell me, what exactly has happened?

388
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,860
What did you say?

389
00:30:27,860 --> 00:30:29,980
His Majesty ordered for the capture of Ye Tianshi.

390
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:33,640
He committed a wrong but what does that have to do with you?

391
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,080
Yingluo. Tell me.

392
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,710
I have been taking contraceptive medicine all along.

393
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,810
His Majesty found out.

394
00:30:50,020 --> 00:30:51,960
You've gone mad.

395
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,930
All the consorts of the palace wish to birth a royal heir.

396
00:30:57,930 --> 00:30:59,690
Why are you still standing there?

397
00:30:59,690 --> 00:31:01,990
Go and beg His Majesty.

398
00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:05,550
Say you were confused.

399
00:31:05,550 --> 00:31:07,300
Say you, I don't know what reason you should say either.

400
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:09,320
But you need to go and beg His Majesty.

401
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,790
Go.

402
00:31:10,790 --> 00:31:12,530
Mingyu.

403
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,280
It's too late.

404
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,660
His Majesty favors you so much. Nothing is too late.

405
00:31:19,660 --> 00:31:21,820
I told His Majesty.

406
00:31:23,450 --> 00:31:25,560
About my revenge.

407
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:32,840
Yingluo. How can you say such a thing?

408
00:31:34,650 --> 00:31:36,720
I couldn't hold back.

409
00:31:38,070 --> 00:31:41,020
You use those words to dismiss me.

410
00:31:41,020 --> 00:31:43,540
Because they kept circling in my head.

411
00:31:43,540 --> 00:31:46,090
I just wanted to know the answer.

412
00:31:46,090 --> 00:31:49,550
Since I already asked, why not ask all the way?

413
00:31:49,550 --> 00:31:51,960
Now you're content?

414
00:31:55,670 --> 00:31:59,140
Then, did His Majesty say,

415
00:31:59,140 --> 00:32:01,360
how he will handle you?

416
00:32:17,220 --> 00:32:19,640
I think this Yanxi Palace,

417
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,240
from now on will become a true cold palace.

418
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,250
Your Majesty.

419
00:32:36,250 --> 00:32:38,080
I am very tired.

420
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,340
I want to rest alone.

421
00:32:42,260 --> 00:32:43,980
Yes.

422
00:33:21,620 --> 00:33:24,830
Your Majesty, how are you standing alone in a daze?

423
00:33:25,650 --> 00:33:27,400
Empress.

424
00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:43,400
Empress.

425
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,620
Have you ever lamented me?

426
00:33:46,620 --> 00:33:49,050
Why does Your Majesty ask such?

427
00:33:49,930 --> 00:33:52,410
Answer me honestly.

428
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,700
I have.

429
00:34:03,770 --> 00:34:08,580
But you . . . have you hated me?

430
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,250
I have lamented you.

431
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:15,870
I have resented you. But only I've never hated.

432
00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:24,940
Why?

433
00:34:27,610 --> 00:34:30,080
If Rongyin were still alive,

434
00:34:30,950 --> 00:34:33,050
she would hate me for sure.

435
00:34:33,050 --> 00:34:35,140
Your Majesty is the owner of Great Qing.

436
00:34:35,140 --> 00:34:37,110
Empress is the master of the six palaces.

437
00:34:37,110 --> 00:34:40,300
Emperor and Empress were never a common pair of spouses.

438
00:34:40,300 --> 00:34:43,990
If they spend all day indulged in sentiments and petty feelings,

439
00:34:43,990 --> 00:34:46,570
it would court the laugh of others.

440
00:34:47,220 --> 00:34:52,800
Forgive me. I wasn't blaming Late Empress.

441
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,530
Just that everyone should have self awareness.

442
00:34:55,530 --> 00:34:59,530
I received Your Majesty's grace and thus I must manage this house for you well.

443
00:34:59,530 --> 00:35:02,580
If not, I would be first to be shamed to meet you.

444
00:35:02,580 --> 00:35:04,900
How can I even discuss lament or resentment?

445
00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:21,770
But Consort Ling must denounce me as heartless and cold.

446
00:35:23,510 --> 00:35:26,250
From nation to logic to righteousness,

447
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:28,760
where is Your Majesty's fault?

448
00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:31,780
Your Majesty toils day and night to manage state affairs.

449
00:35:31,780 --> 00:35:34,460
You can't even manage to take care of your royal body.

450
00:35:34,460 --> 00:35:37,550
The establishment of the six palaces. The existence of harem.

451
00:35:37,550 --> 00:35:40,740
It's solely to care after Your Majesty, to produce heirs.

452
00:35:40,740 --> 00:35:43,540
It is not to add trouble to you.

453
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,300
Others say, the palace is lonesome.

454
00:35:48,300 --> 00:35:53,030
But if one leaves these red walls, they can do as they wish?

455
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,560
Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. Husbands busy working.

456
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,900
Wives managing the households, toiling day in and out.

457
00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:04,750
Compared to them, what does the harem lament from?

458
00:36:04,750 --> 00:36:09,060
Late Empress was the example to six palaces, but she acted disobedient to her parents with self-inflicted death.

459
00:36:09,060 --> 00:36:11,540
I dare to say,

460
00:36:11,540 --> 00:36:14,230
you owe nothing to Empress Xiaoxian.

461
00:36:14,230 --> 00:36:18,040
It was she who disappointed your trust.

462
00:36:25,510 --> 00:36:29,730
I know, Rongyin,

463
00:36:31,020 --> 00:36:33,630
she innately did not want restraint.

464
00:36:40,870 --> 00:36:44,570
Of course, every person wants that.

465
00:36:44,570 --> 00:36:48,530
Your Majesty, you are the king of all, the one with more authority.

466
00:36:48,530 --> 00:36:51,410
But you don't have a day of freedom.

467
00:36:52,010 --> 00:36:55,850
Real freedom is paid with irresponsibility.

468
00:36:57,310 --> 00:37:00,850
Your Majesty, Consort Ling can hate you.

469
00:37:00,850 --> 00:37:05,520
Late Empress can lament you. But only I will not.

470
00:37:12,030 --> 00:37:17,290
Even if I caused Narbu's death?

471
00:37:19,510 --> 00:37:21,980
For my father's incident,

472
00:37:21,980 --> 00:37:24,570
I did cross you.

473
00:37:25,220 --> 00:37:28,590
But after I was calmer, I regretted immensely.

474
00:37:28,590 --> 00:37:31,110
Even if everyone in the world hurts your feelings,

475
00:37:31,110 --> 00:37:34,730
I am your empress so how can I hurt you?

476
00:37:35,340 --> 00:37:37,860
Hence, if you have Empress,

477
00:37:37,860 --> 00:37:40,640
the likes of Consort Ling, why hold exception them?

478
00:37:44,850 --> 00:37:46,820
Empress.

479
00:37:47,730 --> 00:37:51,080
No one ever said these words to me.

480
00:37:52,670 --> 00:37:54,860
You're the first.

481
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:02,420
Your Majesty, even if everyone misunderstands you,

482
00:38:02,420 --> 00:38:05,040
I will always stand by your side.

483
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,920
Understand and support you. You are the emperor as high as sky.

484
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,190
No one has the authority to criticize you.

485
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:26,640
Starting today, you all can leave.

486
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,850
Mistress. You are telling us to go where?

487
00:38:30,850 --> 00:38:36,260
Go to Interior Bureau and ask Supervisor Wu to arrange a new duty for you.

488
00:38:36,260 --> 00:38:40,760
My palace will never need servants again.

489
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,030
What . . .

490
00:38:43,030 --> 00:38:46,420
Such a big Yanxi Palace. How can there be no servants?

491
00:38:46,420 --> 00:38:51,660
Starting today, His Majesty will never come again.

492
00:38:51,660 --> 00:38:54,040
Don't doubt my words.

493
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,290
This Yanxi Palace will never be able to shield you.

494
00:38:59,290 --> 00:39:02,960
Those who are to leave should leave quickly.

495
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,980
Mistress, but every palace mistress

496
00:39:05,980 --> 00:39:07,390
has set number of servants.

497
00:39:07,390 --> 00:39:10,880
I said I don't need and it means I don't need.

498
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,020
Leave no one.

499
00:39:16,830 --> 00:39:18,830
If you don't leave, you will remain

500
00:39:18,830 --> 00:39:21,140
and suffer with Mistress.

501
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,490
Your Ladyship.

502
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:01,440
I have the reputation of betraying my mistress. Where do I go?

503
00:40:01,950 --> 00:40:06,650
Starting today, may Your Ladyship continue to watch over me.

504
00:40:17,830 --> 00:40:20,140
You're practical.

505
00:40:28,180 --> 00:40:29,770
Zhenzhu.

506
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:32,660
Go.

507
00:40:32,660 --> 00:40:36,510
No. I will stay with Sister Mingyu and them.

508
00:40:36,510 --> 00:40:38,460
Stay and serve you.

509
00:40:38,460 --> 00:40:43,670
There's laundry in the backyard. No one's here anymore. I will go and hang them to dry them.

510
00:40:49,390 --> 00:40:51,520
I will go do work too.

511
00:41:13,370 --> 00:41:16,030
You come with me to a place.

512
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,410
Empress, Consort Ling is here.

513
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,930
Greetings to Empress.

514
00:41:41,340 --> 00:41:45,610
Consort Ling, how are you looking so pale after a day?

515
00:41:45,610 --> 00:41:49,250
Your Highness, let us not talk in darkness.

516
00:41:49,250 --> 00:41:53,080
Everything is already in your grasp anyway.

517
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,650
Consort Ling is quite confused.

518
00:41:55,650 --> 00:41:58,790
To say such a peculiar thing.

519
00:41:58,790 --> 00:42:04,010
- I urged you to take contraceptive medicine? <br>- No.

520
00:42:04,010 --> 00:42:07,660
- I told you to fight with Noble Consort Chun?<br>- No.

521
00:42:07,660 --> 00:42:09,920
I ordered you to kill Hitara clanswoman?

522
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:15,050
No! Everything was done willingly by me.

523
00:42:15,050 --> 00:42:18,530
From start to finish, you never said half a word too many.

524
00:42:18,530 --> 00:42:20,830
You did not taint your hands with one drop of blood.

525
00:42:20,830 --> 00:42:24,080
Lightly and leisurely you got rid of fatal enemy, Noble Consort Chun.

526
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,080
In the end, you gave me the final blow.

527
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,960
Consort Ling, you are not sick.

528
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,420
You contracted hysteria instead.

529
00:42:33,420 --> 00:42:37,470
I really am getting more confused by what you're saying.

530
00:42:41,540 --> 00:42:43,300
He.

531
00:42:45,180 --> 00:42:49,020
Isn't he your must trusted supervisor by you?

532
00:42:49,020 --> 00:42:52,390
No. Starting today,

533
00:42:52,390 --> 00:42:56,030
he will be your most loyal dog by you.

534
00:42:56,030 --> 00:42:59,310
Consort Ling. What do you mean?

535
00:42:59,310 --> 00:43:01,660
I should have known much sooner.

536
00:43:01,660 --> 00:43:03,790
Hupo was sent to me.

537
00:43:03,790 --> 00:43:06,080
It was your first step.

538
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,360
Bringing about His Majesty's fury and suspicion.

539
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,780
And using the case of palace medicine theft case,

540
00:43:10,780 --> 00:43:13,510
to expose I have been using contraceptive tonic all along.

541
00:43:13,510 --> 00:43:16,380
Completely exposing my secret for coming into the palace.

542
00:43:16,380 --> 00:43:19,870
How prideful is His Majesty? No matter how I explain,

543
00:43:19,870 --> 00:43:21,610
he cannot forgive me.

544
00:43:21,610 --> 00:43:26,410
But Empress, how did you know I had been taking the tonic?

545
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:33,110
Other than having planted by my side,

546
00:43:33,110 --> 00:43:35,910
a spy all along.

547
00:43:35,910 --> 00:43:39,170
Yingluo, you suspect I'm the spy?

548
00:43:39,170 --> 00:43:41,920
Those who know I take the contraceptive tonic.

549
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,580
Other than Ye Tianshi, it's only you.

550
00:43:45,580 --> 00:43:49,190
Mingyu can be quick-tempered and I was afraid she couldn't keep the secret.

551
00:43:49,190 --> 00:43:53,670
So every time I take the medicine, I evade her.

552
00:43:53,670 --> 00:43:56,230
Since the first day you entered Yanxi Palace,

553
00:43:56,230 --> 00:43:59,120
I entrusted everything to you with full trust.

554
00:43:59,930 --> 00:44:04,640
I never imagined this is how you'd repay me.

555
00:44:06,530 --> 00:44:14,000
