Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty

[Episode 35]

21

Eunuch Li, you suddenly came. Does Father need something?

22

This servant comes to deliver the Emperor's secret instructions

23

I accept the edict.

24

13th Prince, His Majesty has verbally instructed us not to allow anyone in.

25

Move aside.

26

13th Prince, don't put us in a hard position.

27

If His Majesty wants to summon 13th Prince then he'll send someone

28

or else, I can let you in 13th Prince.

29

Yin Xiang. His Majesty isn't feeling well so we won't disturb him

30

but 13th Prince really misses his father, so can't you just let him go in?

31

4th Prince.

32

4th Brother? 4th Brother!

33

4th Brother, what's wrong?

34

Father,

35

has passed away.

36

Father suddenly passed away so we have to immediately notify everyone

37

Without delay...

38

8th Brother.

39

Why are you here? What happened? Why are you dressed up like this?

40

Please immediately send troops to 14th send him a message to immediately come back.

41

I'm afraid that the palace is going to change.

42

Send troops?

43

We are winning at the front line; there is no reason to recall the troops.

44

Could it be related to the throne?

45

8th Brother, there's no time to explain right now.

46

If we're late then everything won't be in time.

47

Okay. I'll immediately send someone to do it.

48

His Majesty left just like that.

49

What am I going to do in the future?

50

In the 61th year of Kang Xi, on Nov 13

51

this great emperor reached the end of his life.

52

From the time I was little, I've read about this in history class,

53

in unofficial historical stories and in novels.

54

There were all kinds of stories surrounding his death.

55

But at this moment when I find myself a part of the event,

56

I then realized

57

I cannot keep playing the role of a calm and restrained bystander.

58

-Sister Rong Yue, what's wrong with you?

-Rong Yue!

59

Rong Yue! Someone come.

60

Take Consort Rong to the imperial physician and let him examine her.

61

What's important now is the preparation for His Majesty's funeral.

62

We need to bring all the government officials into the palace to pay homage to the deceased emperor.

63

I hope that all the consorts

64

will keep to their respective duties and refrain from disrupting the order within the palace.

65

Yes, Your Highness.

66

You may all leave.

67

13th Prince, let's go back.

68

Yin Xiang, His Majesty is gone. You shouldn't allow yourself to be overcome by grief.

69

I should've always been at his place and be by his side.

70

Your Highness, please wait.

71

His Majesty had left an imperial edict

72

that I was instructed to give to you. He wanted you to be in charge of making public the edict.

73

Your noble consort doesn't know about this.

74

I know.

75

Imperial Edict

76

The 4th prince will be the next emperor.

77

Father sent a secret message to me through Eunuch Li

78

asking me to go see him between 9 and 11 p.m.

79

I was not told why he wanted to see me.

80

When I got there, I found that

81

Father

82

was already deceased.

83

I am afraid that everything has to do with the succession to the throne.

84

Greetings, 4th Prince, 13th Prince and 13th Consort.

85

Consort De would like to see 4th Prince now.

86

You may leave.

87

Yes, Your Highness.

88

What do you want to see me for, Mother?

89

You should know already.

90

Don't worry.

91

You have control of the military both inside and outside of the Forbidden City,

92

so I won't be taking too much of your time.

93

I don't understand what you are trying to say.

94

Now that His Majesty has passed onto the next life, what's important

95

is the imperial edict and the designation of an heir.

96

Imperial Edict

97

Your name is on this edict.

98

I will accept the edict.

99

Don't be in a rush to accept the edict.

100

Since your name is written on it,

101

I will acknowledge you as the heir that His Majesty chose.

102

However,

103

since His Majesty trusted me with the edict,

104

I will have to make sure his wishes are followed

105

by disposing of the main obstacle that will thwart you before taking over the throne.

106

What do you mean?

107

If you will do this one thing,

108

I will openly read the edict

109

and personally hand it to you.

110

What is it?

111

I want you to...

112

Kill the 13th Consort.

113

8th Brother.

114

Let's go

115

Fourth brother

116

Eight brother, what is the meaning of this? Are you obstructing me from offering a sacrifice to our father？

117

I would not dare to.

118

His Majesty passed away suddenly last night;

119

and you were the only one called to see him.

120

So we all want to know

121

What did actually happen yesterday night?

122

When I arrived in Father's room last night,

123

he was already deceased.

124

Really?

125

Eight brother, don't you believe my words?

126

That is not the case.

127

Father put you in charge of guarding Qian Qing Palace and Chang Chun Garden the last few days,

128

and you took it to such an extreme that

129

nobody but you was allowed in.

130

We could not even see our father's face for the last time.

131

4th brother can't just use one sentence

132

to cover everything.

133

I already said what I had to say.

134

Let me through.

135

How dare you come to kneel and pay respect to Father?

136

You do not have this right.

137

Tenth brother, what do you mean?

138

The late emperor just passed away and you are talking crazy in front of his dead body.

139

Are you being unrespectful?

140

What do I mean?

141

Are you saying that Father's death has nothing to do with you?

142

You were the only one there last night.

143

You can say whatever you want. You said you blocked everyone from Chang Chun Garden

144

and Qian Qing Palace because of Father's wishes.

145

But who knows whether that's true or not?

146

From how I see it, 4th Brother,

147

you lied about the imperial order and imprisoned Father!

148

You are being a rebelling prince and son.

149

You have been planning to kill Father and take his position for a long time!

150

Stop!

151

Father's coffin is here and his body is still warm.

152

And you are talking nonsense here and trying to fight.

153

Are you really want to disturb Father even in his death

154

to be settled?

155

13th Brother is right.

156

Father just passed away,

157

but that is why we especially need to find out about the truth.

158

Then Father will be able to rest in peace.

159

You are not after the truth.

160

You only want to falsely accuse 4th Brother.

161

How can you accuse somebody of such a big crime like killing the emperor just like that?

162

10th brother has a reckless personality.

163

He says what he feels but he is not malicious.

164

He only thinks about Father and voices his own suspicions,

165

which is also what we think.

166

9th Brother, every accusation needs to be backed by evidence.

167

If you rely on suspicion and empty words,

168

chaos will ensue.

169

Shouldn't you understand that principle?

170

Eunuch Li should be able to be a witness as to whether His Majesty

171

gave an imperial order to 4th Brother concerning Qian Qing Palace. It is especially ridiculous to accuse him of imprisoning His Majesty.

172

10th Brother,

173

do you think it's really possible that 4th Brother can usurp His Majesty's power when he was still alive?

174

-You!

-Let's stop bickering.

175

If there is anything suspicious about the death of the late emperor,

176

I will find out the truth to let Father rest in peace.

177

And I can tell the whole world the truth.

178

Get out of the way.

179

Justice and Brightness

180

Your highness is tired.

181

Take some rest. There are a lot of things waiting for you.

182

What else can it be?

183

The late edict.

184

Late edict?

185

Daxing Emperor already had the edict.

186

It's either 4th or 14th. What else can I do?

187

We can say that. But after Consort De got the edict,

188

she never shows it to the world.

189

Maybe in between, there is something hard for Consort De.

190

What can be hard for her? Both are her sons.

191

Or--the rumor of 4th prince prisoned Daxing Emperor

192

and killed the father and take the position is true?

193

Both the back and the inside part of your hands are hands. Even if it's true,

194

Consort De will not kill her blood son.

195

It's not up to her to do what she wants!

196

Is she ignoring me and all the ministers?

197

Your highness, don't be mad.

198

It has been a rumor till now.

199

The way I see it, it's not important if it's true or false.

200

What's important is if people believe it or not.

201

What you mean is--

202

let people believe that the rumor of killing Father and taking the position is true?

203

Maybe--it is the truth.

204

Do you know something?

205

I just know that 4th prince is tough and ruthless

206

and he has a lot of enemies in the chancellor. But 14th is different.

207

Also, your highness was mercy on me and I can't forget it even if I die.

208

This edict can start such chaos.

209

This is really interesting.

210

Your highness. Whether you can turn things around or not

211

and turn failure into victory and take control again

212

is up to you.

213

8th brother and those guys are crossing the line this time!

214

Whenever it's about 4th brother, they suspect everything and try to stir things up.

215

Today, they even accused 4th brother of killing the emperor.

216

I can't take this.

217

8th brother is spreading rumors in the palace that's bad for 4th brother now.

218

He is good at this.

219

He has been spreading rumors many times.

220

Now we to avoid them using the people

221

to let the rumor get all over the place.

222

At that time, even if 4th brother has the edict,

223

it will not be right.

224

I think that's exactly what they are planning right now.

225

So we need to announce the edict right now.

226

If it takes longer, there will be people suspecting.

227

What's wrong with the edict? Why wouldn't you announce it?

228

I will talk to Mother about this.

229

Since 8th already thinks bad of me,

230

unless I find solid evidence that it has nothing to do with me,

231

they will not let it go easily.

232

Don't worry, 4th brother. I will find out the truth as soon as possible.

233

I will help 4th brother as much as I can with Ying Xiang.

234

You guys are harmed too much because of me.

235

I really don't want you to stuck in the fights.

236

13th. Don't you always want to stay away from the court?

237

Why don't you take Xiao Wei--

238

How is that possible? So many things have been happening.

239

How can we leave you in trouble with all the accusation yourself?

240

4th brother doesn't want me and Xiao Wei in this

241

because you don't trust me?

242

Of course not.

243

How can I not understand Brother 13th's heart?

244

Okay then. If Brother 13th wants to stay,

245

I will try my best to protect you.

246

Yin Xiang, you didn't sleep last night and you wouldn't rest today.

247

I know you're thinking of Father,

248

and worrying about 4th Brother. But you need to take care of yourself too.

249

I asked the kitchen to make some spine date seed soup.

250

It will calm your mind. Go eat some.

251

Here you go.

252

Thanks.

253

Why are you being so nice to me today?

254

Aren't I nice to you everyday?

255

I am capable of taking care of you occasionally,

256

so you should be grateful and not take it for granted.

257

You said last night that after Father met you,

258

and when you got back to the Buddhist temple, it was not dark yet.

259

It was not sunset yet.

260

Then it's around 5 to 7 p.m.

261

Father asked 4th Brother to go see him between 9 and 11 p.m.

262

It's a long time in between.

263

How coincidental can it be that nobody was beside Father?

264

You think someone went to see Father without anyone knowing?

265

That's not possible.

266

4th Brother had Qian Qing Palace guarded so closely.

267

He would know if anything happened.

268

There are too many suspicious points in the whole matter.

269

We should be open to all possibilities.

270

I have to find out what actually happened.

271

And also Consort De.

272

She has seen the edict. After Father's body was in the coffin,

273

she should have told everybody. But she was not telling anything.

274

4th Brother also seems to be hiding something from me.

275

Calm down. We'll go through things one at a time.

276

Though everything seems tangled up,

277

but we should follow the most promising thread

278

and try to straighten out the whole mess.

279

You're right.

280

I need to remain calm and unwavering.

281

Otherwise I won't be of help to 4th Brother, but a liability.

282

13th Prince.

283

What can you tell me?

284

13th Prince,

285

after His Majesty met with 13th Consort that day, nothing strange took place.

286

But an imperial guard saw

287

an eunuch leading someone wearing a cloak passed by Qian Qing Palace.

288

Do you know where they went?

289

No, the guard did not know.

290

But judging by the direction they were going, it's possible they were heading toward Chang Chun Garden.

291

It could be someone who met with His Majesty right before his passing.

292

Have you found out who it is?

293

No, not yet.

294

What about that eunuch?

295

We are still trying to find out. Please give us time.

296

I can wait. But 4th brother can't wait any longer.

297

You may go. You must find that eunuch as soon as possible.

298

He is the only breach now.

299

Yes, Your Highness.

300

Who was the person that Father met with

301

and tried so hard to conceal the identity?

302

Did you hear that 4th and 14th Prince almost got into a fight?

303

Is it true? But they are full brothers with the same mother!

304

There's a rumor going around

305

that 4th Prince changed the imperial edict

306

to usurp the throne from 14th Prince.

307

How could that happen?

308

Stop talking nonsense!

309

Forgive us, Your Highness!

310

Where did you hear such rumors?

311

Your Highness, it's been going around within the palace.

312

We just heard others talking.

313

Slap yourself!

314

Your Highness,

315

we know we are wrong. We'll slap our own mouths.

316

Fine.

317

Don't repeat such nonsense anymore. Understand?

318

Yes, we do.

319

Go.

320

Thank you, Your Highness.

321

Don't be agitated, Your Highness. The servants within the palace like to pass around stories.

322

It is not simple gossiping.

323

Someone is definitely behind it if rumors are being dispersed

324

at this critical moment.

325

Who would want to spread such rumors?

326

[Changchun Palace]

327

Your Highness, Consort De is here.

328

Greetings, sister.

329

Please have a seat.

330

I haven't seen you come here for a while.

331

The late emperor passed away. Everything, big and small in this palace

332

is taking care of you alone.

333

Everybody only talked about you.

334

I, as the Noble Consort, can't help you with anything.

335

It's been hard for you.

336

I'm just trying to take the burden for you, sister.

337

But--it's easy to manage people, hard to manage their words.

338

The late emperor just passed away

339

and people are thinking of different things. What I'm afraid of the most is that

340

the big picture is disturbed by small rumors.

341

That's right.

342

Rumors are truly horrifying.

343

It's easy to stop the servants from talking nonsense in the palace.

344

It's hard outside.

345

I heard that on the edict,

346

it was written that it would pass down to the 14th prince.

347

It was changed into pass down to 4th prince.

348

As if it were true. It was like seeing it themselves.

349

It's nonsense. All rubbish.

350

I know that. I just feel sad for you.

351

They are both your son and you can't put anyone aside.

352

Sister.

353

There are so many things that before you get the solid evidence,

354

you shouldn't think too much or talk too much about it.

355

Sister. Before the new emperor takes his position,

356

I have the highest position in this Harem.

357

I have the power to make any decisions.

358

And I will take care of everything.

359

I don't need you to remind me what to do.

360

Sister. As the consort of the late emperor and who slept beside him,

361

if it's not the late emperor's will, even if it's my own son,

362

I will not let him break the rules of Qing.

363

And disobey the trust of the late emperor.

364

The late emperor gave his edict to you because he trusted you.

365

Don't worry.

366

Before the new emperor takes his position, you can take good care of the edict.

367

I will not ask to see it.

368

But after 14th prince comes back,

369

if he wants to see it or not--we will not know.

370

As you have said.

371

The rumors are horrifying.

372

If you don't want brothers to kill each other,

373

The way I see it--

374

you should wait until 14th prince coming back

375

to announce the edict.

376

The way I see it--

377

we should just do it. Let's bring the army into the palace.

378

-I agree!

379

-That's right.

-We can't.

380

It's not a normal period of time now. We can't make any mistakes.

381

Now nobody hopes that 14th brother is accused of taking the position as well.

382

That's right.

383

But we can't do nothing and just wait for 14th like this.

384

We are not doing nothing.

385

I think 9th prince is right.

386

It's a rare chance. We can't miss it.

387

Everybody, please listen to me.

388

Let's not talk about if the late emperor was killed by the 4th prince or not.

389

But 4th prince was guarding Qianqing Palace

390

and Changchun Garden alone. Ane he is the one who found out that the late emperor passed away.

391

He is the only one that can get the edict.

392

So--

393

So, he is the most likely one to kill Father and take his position and change the edict.

394

The late emperor passed away suddenly and it was so strange.

395

The most suspicious one is 4th prince who was guarding Changchun Garden alone.

396

If 4th prince really did such a bad thing,

397

the edict will be a wasted paper.

398

It wouldn't count. If the crown prince is not settled yet,

399

we still have a chance to fight for 14th.

400

You are right.

401

If it's passed to 4th, everybody will be suspecting the edict.

402

And he can't be the rightful emperor.

403

It's beneficial for us.

404

What brother 14th needs the most now is time.

405

We can't just act ruthlessly and cause a chaos in the court

406

to let 4th get stronger himself in the capital

407

and saying that he takes the position in chaos.

408

What we need most now is to set up the stage for 14th

409

and welcome him to take the position.

410

If that's the case, we will fight for the time with 4th.

411

Everybody knows what they need to do, right?

412

We don't need to fight with them face to face.

413

Everything will be carried out in the dark.

414

Until 14th brother comes home.

415

Yes.

416

Why are you rushing?

417

4th prince, I notice that 8th and 9th prince

418

are planning something in the army and I don't know what they are doing. So I'm reporting to you.

419

4th prince, 14th prince is coming back to the capital and he will be home soon.

420

He never applies for it or has any record and he comes back in private.

421

14th brother gets his news fast.

422

Lock all the doors. Without my orders, nobody can go in and out!

423

Yes. I get the order.

424

Go find the commander of infantry. Tell him to meet me now.

425

Yes. I know.

426

It's happening. They are rebelling.

427

Stop.

428

We are following the order of 4th prince to guard the door. Nobody can come in.

429

-14th Prince. Please stay back with your army.

-How dare you!

430

14th Prince is coming back with a victory and you guys are closing the door.

431

-What do you mean?

-I'm just following the orders.

432

Orders. Whose orders?

433

The orders of 4th?

434

14th Prince.

435

Get out of the way!

436

Get out of the way!

437

Get out of the way! Stay back!

438

-Get out of the way!

-14th brother!

439

14th brother! You are finally back!

440

Is everything well on the way?

441

It seems that you have met many obstacles.

442

8th brother. Where is Father?

443

Go.

444

The memorial tablet of late Emperor

445

Father.

446

I'm too late.

447

The memorial tablet of late Emperor

448

The memorial tablet of late Emperor

449

I came back as soon as I can.

450

But 4th brother is trying to stop me.

451

Were you really killed by the bad guys?

452

8th brother. Today you broke into the palace with 14th brother.

453

What do you guys want?

454

It's reasonable that 14th brother comes back to the capital to mourn for father.

455

4th brother. You are stopping him all you can and block the doors into the city.

456

What do you want?

457

I think that you are the one who is suspicious!

458

Who dare!

459

Justice and Brightness

460

Father. Don't worry.

461

I will not let Qing be taken by the rebellions.

462

8th brother. Are you not telling you people to step back?

463

I think what I should do now

464

It's not up toyou, 4th brother's turn to teach me.

465

Okay then. I have to follow the rules.

466

4th brother. I haven't seen you for a long time.

467

8th brother. You guys can go.

468

Leave the rest to me.

469

14th brother, are you mad?

470

Okay.

471

Let's go.

472

Get back.

A Touch of Breath by Liu Ren Yu

475

♫ I'm sitting on the rooftop ♫

476

♫ I feel the breeze blow on my face ♫

477

♫ It feels really light, this beautiful scenery ♫

478

♫ Yet I feel lonely ♫

479

♫ You and I are in two different spaces ♫

480

♫ It's also a breeze in the spring ♫

481

♫ It's still the same scenery ♫

482

♫ Your face is close to mine ♫

483

♫ I can touch your breath ♫

484

♫ Your smile is in the blue sky ♫

485

♫ A lonely roof without your shadow ♫

486

♫ You are still stuck on my mind ♫

487

♫ only the image of your weeping face ♫

488

♫ I'm not stronger than you, the tears run to my heart ♫

489

♫ But I want to leave a smiling face for you ♫

490

♫ Your face is close to mine ♫

491

♫ I can touch your breath ♫

492

♫ Your smile is in the blue sky ♫

493

♫ A lonely roof without your shadow ♫

494

♫ You are still stuck on my mind ♫

495

♫ only the image of your weeping face ♫

496

♫ I'm not stronger than you, the tears run to my heart ♫

497

♫ But I want to leave a smiling face for you ♫

498

♫ I'm not stronger than you, the tears run to my heart ♫

499

♫ But I want to leave a smiling face for you ♫
