[ Ming Dynasty ] EP14

I brought them here.

I can't release them until I see the emperor.

You are so irritable.

I didn't finish the oral decree.

Say it.

Prince Zhao needs to wait outside.

Someone as stupid as he wants to see him.

They should discuss how to deceive the emperor.

Take them away.

Go.

What are you doing here?

The emperor told me to wait for you here.

Why did you deceive the emperor again?

I didn't deceive him.

I didn't...

I have no idea.

I brought your three criminals here.

Let me tell you.

I approach the orphans of a campaign of Jingnan according to the imperial decree.

I just got some clue.

You are making troubles for me now.

I make troubles?

You don't tell me a thing.

It's all up to you whether you act according to the decree.

Your Highness.

The emperor is going to play chess with the state preceptor.

If there is nothing urgent, you should go back.

Something urgent.

I want to ask the emperor how he will punish my three criminals.

Which three criminals?

Let me see.

Two buns.

Two lotus roots.

A bowl of white fungus soup.

Have a good appetite.

Why do you look at this?

You need to write down all I eat?

Yes, you are the emperor's consort.

Yes, you are the emperor's consort.

If you are pregnant.

The doctor can check the record.

If I am pregnant and have a prince...

I will congrat you in advance

You will move near the crown princess.

Your maids and eunuchs will be doubled.

Lady and the crown princess will take care of your diet and daily life.

Your title will be changed.

Whether it is a prince or a princess,

you are destined to be the imperial concubine.

Clothes, jewelry, makeup, and your money will be different.

Just like...

my sister?

Imperial concubine An has no kids.

So, it's different.

Boring

I can't go anywhere.

Recently, I heard their gossips.

Have you heard of it?

No, I seldom come here.

They say...

If this time I have no baby, the emperor will be laughed by people too.

The crown prince, prince Zhao, and prince Han.

All of them are waiting for this show.

You don't know?

What are you talking about?

Which maid told you this?

I will slap her face.

I won't tell you.

You are on their side.

Who knows what you are thinking in mind.

Consort Piao, you need to give me the record.

Record?

Two lotus roots.

Two slices of tofu.

Steamed bun.

This is what you call a good appetite.

Get out of my sight.

Lady has something to tell you.

Ok.

What's going on?

No idea.

Soon we will know.

Sisters, you have worked hard.

My aunt told me, you speak evil words

of the crown prince, prince Han, and prince Zhao.

If she is not pregnant, even the emperor will be a joke.

No one said like that.

So, it comes out of thin air.

So weird.

The thin air can bring the whole sentence to people's ears.

Show it to me.

My aunt said.

You are seniors in the palace.

You know what to do and say.

And you will be punished more severely if you don't tell the truth.

I won't ask you who said these.

Otherwise, all of you will be executed.

Yes...

Sister, rise.

Sister.

Sister, rise.

Everyone, rise.

But my aunt said so.

If I don't do as she says, she will have me whipped.

I really can't afford it.

Sisters.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sister.

You are flattering me.

You should call me younger sister.

Yes, younger sister.

You should go back tell Lady.

She loves us so much.

We want to say thanks to her.

I will keep an eye on this.

I won't let them talk the nonsense again.

You can leave it to me.

Thank you very much, sister.

Eunuchs.

I'm short.

I have no strength, can't outcompete them.

Maybe they talk the nonsense.

And you are scapegoated.

So, you know what you should do now.

Tea...

Don't stand there, come here.

You are lucky to have the master.

Anyway, soon the doctor will take her pulse.

She can't keep it in the dark.

If there is nothing special, she will go back to where she comes.

Yes...

But if she is pregnant, sisters, you should take the most credit.

Don't forget to get me promoted.

Yes...

Yes...

These days,

princess Zhao and princess Han go to Lady division.

All because of her pregnancy.

You should keep the windows shut.

Can't let the flies in.

Anyway, it won't be much longer.

I need your support and encouragement.

God bless us.

Yes...

Many people ask about this?

Yes.

The eunuchs from prince Zhao and prince Han came here.

Go back and tell Lady.

We will keep our mouth shut.

No gossips and rumors.

Yes.

If there is gossip, it's from the eunuch.

Yes...

Can you tell me...

consort Piao is pregnant or not?

Well.

I don't think so.

If it's true, it's ok that we rejoice too soon.

But the emperor can't be the laughing stock.

According to the eunuchs of prince Han and prince Zhao.

The two princes were so happy.

You can't tell this to others.

Otherwise, I won't admit it.

Nie Xing.

You are in coma due to fever for so long.

We are worried.

We were almost skinned.

I am dead this time, right?

Yes, you are dead.

I am Yama.

All right.

You are still so brazen-faced to come here.

What are you doing?

Don't move.

Your!

Your wound is recovering.

Imperial grandson.

We need to talk in private.

I want to make something clear in advance.

I hope Ruowei will succeed.

If you can save the army and government office of Nurgan,

we are even.

And I will do as you say.

As your command.

I think we should discuss the place and time they meet?

Meet?

Why?

The death of emperor Jianwen is declared.

It's just a hearsay.

The uncle and nephew won't break up so easily.

If they are going to see each other, what Zhu Di will think?

You should tell me in advance.

As I know, the two emperors never see each other.

We should say it's uncle and nephew reunion.

I will find a quiet place.

I will leave the rest to you.

Don't move around, or scream.

There is nothing I can do if you die.

Gosh.

The doctor is experienced.

Otherwise, you will be crippled.

What's going on?

I can tell you.

But you can't jump or scream.

Otherwise, we will worry about you.

Father.

Stop talking.

We were arrested by prince Zhao.

They released us

because of an imperial grandson.

You had a fever in the imperial prison.

You are saved timely.

Xu Bin and I are so worried about you.

He is so kind.

What does he want?

Or...

Four of us are imperial grandson's bonus.

He wants to take the credit with our heads.

Imperial grandson wants to make a deal with us.

Deal?

Make a deal with him?

You really believe him?

I believe.

You are still a child.

Nie Xing.

After we arrive in the capital, he manipulates us all the time.

Our brothers die or get severely injured.

Even if they are rescued, they all

die in Ya'e Lane.

We can't go on like this.

We have to do if we can't win?

You should be dogs without me.

I will be too ashamed to see my parents if I am a dog.

To be honest, I don't hate Zhu Di.

I was the vice general of the third camp of the capital.

I should take some credit during the attack in Nanjing.

I promised someone.

I will follow her everywhere.

Brother Nie Xing.

You are a man.

Take this from me.

Just few of us can't outcompete them.

So, you are determined to be dogs.

Ruowei.

I hope your parents will forgive you in the underground.

I don't know if they will forgive me.

But for 30,000 people in the army and government office of Nurgan,

I will do that even if my parents will scold me or I bear infamy.

Nie Xing,

you think it's not worth it?

Not worth it.

I don't plan to live to tell the story.

Neither do I.

I have already died once.

You blocked the arrow for the bloody emperor.

I do not accept it.

I don't care.

But the bloody emperor will care.

I need 30,000 people in the coldness of

army and government office of Nurgan back.

I need the reputation back and bury their parents.

And worship ancestors.

I don't want to let them live in hell on earth.

And die in there.

I made the decision.

I want to fight for the living people.

Brother Nie Xing.

I will do it no matter what you say.

What are you worried about?

Just tell me.

I understand Ruowei.

But I don't believe you.

If the emperor changes his mind, I will be guilty.

Ok.

I will be your hostage.

You can take my head to the emperor if necessary.

Are you overestimating yourself?

The emperor won't ruin the future for the people who lose status.

I am trying to help you sincerely.

I will take all risks.

Stop saving me.

Let me go or kill me.

Where are you going?

Where do you want to go?

I don't know.

Maybe I will find a place to hide.

Maybe...

I will come back to kill him.

If you let me go, we will be enemies forever.

So you really want to do this?

So next time you come back, you want...

to kill me as well?

I will.

Imperial concubine.

Where is my sister?

She is sleeping after the meal.

I want to see if my sister is still sleeping.

Wait a moment.

Younger sister.

Younger sister.

Where is she?

She should sleep there. -Where is she?

Hurry.

Hurry, go find Lady Hu.

Yes. -Hurry.

Did you go to invite the crown princess?

Yes.

Lady Hu.

Someone wants to kill my sister.

You should do something.

How can she disappear for no good reason?

I live a frightening life all the time.

She just disappears.

Ok.

So you are so fed up with living.

Send him to the imperial guards department.

Do it right away.

Can you hear me?

Yes.

On her knees.

I still don't understand what you are talking about.

What's the matter?

My sister is lost.

Stand at the door. No one can approach.

Lost?

How could this happen?

She was here when I brought lunch.

You get her lost right?

It's you.

My sister is so pitiful.

You even do this to her.

The emperor wants a son.

Crown prince, prince Zhao, prince Han.

They won't agree.

You. -Enough.

How can you say it's the crown prince's fault?

Who told you that?

The emperor wants a son.

Crown prince, prince Han, prince Zhao won't agree.

Do you dare to go to Jiming Temple now?

Make everything clear.

Ok.

I have nothing to fear.

Ok.

Lady Hu, you should go with her.

You are the witness.

Go.

In accordance with the rules,

The concubine favored by the emperor can't move within one month until

the doctor takes the pulse.

So no one can come here, except the crown princess and me.

Imperial concubine An is an senior.

You are sisters.

So usually, the crown princess allows you to see each other.

Now you make the fuss.

People will think the crown princess doesn't tell you to behave yourself.

She indulges your

and breaks rules.

So how will you explain it to the emperor?

But where did my sister go?

They have searched all over the palace.

Searched all over?

There are more than nine thousand rooms.

They have searched all?

Go to tell the laundry department.

You should invite consort Piao back once you see her.

Yes.

I think it's not convenient for women to go out.

I'll go find her.

I go with you.

Stop working.

In one word.

I need to see her, alive or dead.

You should keep your eyes sharp.

I really don't believe it.

How can she disappear in the broad daylight?

She is not a nobody.

If something wrong happens to baby, all of you can't afford it.

Go.

Yes

She can't die.

Otherwise, we will be in big trouble.

She is new here, where can she go?

Didn't we take good care of her?

I haven't met this before.

Aunt

The crown princess is here.

How dare you talk to my ears? Are you blind?

Say it.

The guards of the city say no one goes out today.

Other divisions don't see either.

Lady.

You need to help us.

Yes.

What if we can't find her?

She has been lost for so many hours.

It's nine thousand rooms.

An imperial harem is not large.

One girl was lost last time.

I thought she was out of the palace.

Finally, she was found in the well.

She went crazy.

The emperor takes the matter very seriously.

What if he asks us for her?

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Over here.

Hurry up.

Your Majesty.

Jianwen's former minister Xu Bin wants to see you.

Your Majesty.

Xu Bin.

The emperor wants to ask you questions.

Mr. Xu.

If you arrange this well, you can be my official.

Thank you, your Majesty.

I have no intention of being an official.

So strange.

You can be Jianwen's official.

But not mine?

How can I know where Jianwen is without you?

Your Majesty.

We will discuss your official post another time.

We need to talk about your plan.

I walked a long road with my grandson.

And we make it at Temple on Ling mountain in Wuxi.

There are towers in the temple. Also, the temple is on the mountain top.

It's very convenient.

Great.

Emperor Jianwen doesn't want to see you.

He will go to the ninth floor.

You will be on the first floor.

I am afraid if you demand to see him blindly, you will sabotage it.

Why?

Emperor Jianwen has no face to see you.

And he thinks it's not necessary to see each other again.

If you doubt his identity, he can prove it.

That's all I can do.

He.

How is my nephew doing?

Emperor Jianwen is a monk now.

He promises to see you because of the 30,000 orphans.

Forge it.

On second thought, I am ashamed to see him too.

I have to identify him.

As your command.

Go on saying.

After fifteen days, he will see you in the tower of Ling mountain at sunset.

You can leave before dawn.

Is he doing well?

Where does he live?

I want to build a palace for him.

To express my apologies.

Emperor Jianwen is a monk now.

If you do this, he will come back to the secular world again.

So you don't need to do that.

Ok.

After we see each other, he should disappear forever.

Yes

What are your odds?

You go to see Jianwen.

I will leave my head to Xu Bin.

If Jianwen doesn't come back after sunrise,

you will make a big trouble for me.

Silly boy.

You think the deceased.

Will I have big trouble for you?

I

You made a great contribution.

I have prepared a reward for you.

I won't tell you now.

I don't dare to ask for the reward.

If you insist on rewarding me, I hope you could pardon all the orphans.

You should let them come to the capital.

I can stop their hard labor.

Give them what they need for living.

Send doctors and coffins.

But I won't let them come.

I don't regret for what I did.

The generation can't think I am a fickle man.

Throughout my life,

I suppress prairie, move to Beijing,

I can be compared to emperor Taizong of Tang and emperor Taizu of Song.

I see emperor Jianwen, not for apology between emperors.

But between uncle and nephew.

You know me.

I will leave the task

of orphans of a campaign of Jingnan

to my descents.

After this,

moving to Beijing and sending troops out of the pass,

I have no worries anymore.

The saint's fault will attract attention like the sun and the moon.

Grandfather.

I will try my best.

Stop looking.

Where is Nie Xing?

He left.

Left?

Last night.

I've tried to persuade him till dawn.

He insists.

Otherwise, he would rather die.

Then...

You just let him go?

I can't tie him forever.

And watch him die, right?

Nie Xing.

Jing Ye and Nie Zheng, they are of the same folk.

He is an extremist.

But he keeps his promise.

I can't see him make a mistake and do nothing.

So did he tell you where he would go?

He already told you.

He said he would find a place to get recovered.

He will come back and assassinate after he recovers.

Dad, you should have wakened me up.

I want to persuade him.

At least I should know where he is.

He didn't want to wake you up.

He said we would be the enemies after he left here.

You are not in a dream.

But he is.

We have searched laundry department but in vain.

We have searched the kitchen department.

But in vain.

How about you?

We are searching for all the wells and rivers.

Go out.

Lady.

We are doomed.

Why?

For what happens between the emperor and the young concubine,

all the ministers says,

the emperor is not pleased with the crown prince.

He wants to have another crown prince.

I don't care about what the ministers talk about.

But now she disappeared.

Now the other princes can take advantage.

They will stir an uproar.

She won't disappear for no good reason.

I arranged her diet and daily life.

So I will take all the responsibility.

How?

Lady.

We have known each other for so many years.

We manage the maids together.

Do I see you as a servant?

No.

But it's different now.

The crown prince has no power or influence now.

I know.

My department takes care of consort Piao's daily life.

I will take the responsibility for this.

Then how do you tell the emperor?

The country has the national law.

It's nothing to explain.

We will find her, dead or alive.

But now, you can't find a thing.

Is it not hard to deal with.

Why not difficult?

It's not difficult to find a corpse.

So smart.

Great.

You are so filial.

The crown prince saved my life.

So you are my second parents.

My aunt raised me up.

But I can't repay her.

Find the same figure.

Who will it be?

I didn't find her.

What if you can't find one till the daybreak?

No.

They are your sisters, you can do it?

I often serve consort Piao with my aunt.

I have her figure.

I am glad to sacrifice myself

if I can save you and my aunt out of the dilemma.

I will poison myself before dawn.

I hope you and my aunt safe.

You will help me a lot with your filial piety.

I won't let you die.

Let her in.

Ask her if she has found her.

Please.

Your Highness.

You may leave now.

Tell something new.

I know as much as you do.

Now all the people are searching for wells and rivers.

Many people can't sleep tonight.

Then I'll wait here till dawn.

If I can't see her, I will go to see the emperor.

Then you are mistaken.

The doctor doesn't know whether she is pregnant.

Even if she is not.

She is the master.

I am the maid.

How can I forget the rules?

Brilliant.

Quite eloquent.

If consort Piao runs with a baby, she will be more sinful.

As a sister, don't you also need to take responsibility for convincing her to do so?

You.

You.

Don't lose your temper now.

The crown princess wants to tell you, she needs to see her,

either alive or dead.

Come with me.

Choose now.

Hang yourself or take the poison.

Or I can help you.

Aunt.

Why are you so scary?

I really want to see what's in your head.

You don't need to get yourself involved.

I can't see you kneeling.

I will take the responsibility.

You have me.
