[Beyond the Realm of Conscience]

Episode Twenty-One

It's you.

When you delivered the medicated cream the other day, you had already known.

But you kept quiet about it on purpose.

Then you told someone to put the rag doll in my place to set me up.

Suen Ka Bik is found guilty. She's sentenced to strangulation.

I want Man Po Yin to know how painful it is to lose a family member.

My mom's life is at stake.

Even if the chance's slim, I'll still try my best.

I know His Majesty will go to the Tortoise tomb the fifteenth of every month

to pay respect to Sweet Lotus Seed.

He never fails to go there.

Will Your Majesty please teach me how to write a eulogy.

I've got so many things to tell our son.

Of course.

My lady, it's so late.

His Majesty isn't coming. Why don't we leave?

I want to wait till I see His Majesty.

You've been waiting since early this morning.

You didn't eat or drink. You must be tired.

I'm afraid if you carry on waiting, you'll collapse.

Compared with the pain mom suffers in jail, this is nothing.

I must see His Majesty.

Heavenly Father, please help dad and godfather return to the palace

as soon as possible to rescue mom.

[Ezhou]

General Man, the goods will be kept in the room.

I've told them to take turns guarding the place.

I went to the replenishment station already.

Deputy Law is transporting the money along the major route to Cizhou.

Everything is going on fine. It's believed that they would arrive two days later.

We'll follow the plan and take the alternative route.

It will only take one day to arrive at Cizhou.

We'll meet Deputy Law there.

You are so clever, General.

We take two different routes as a distraction.

No one knows we are transporting the money either.

It's usually risky transporting government money.

We'll easily become the target of bandits.

Now Deputy Law transports stones instead of money.

There won't be any loss even if they are robbed.

This time we can transport the money without any problem

all because of your clever plan, General.

I want to propose a toast with tea instead of wine.

I feel the most upset seeing people in misery.

If all the officials share the same feeling

it will really be a blessing for the people.

Officials are supposed to work for people's interests.

If they do their job well, people will benefit from it.

The officials suffering a little brings about great benefits to the people.

General, you are loyal and brave. I do admire you.

Guard Ko, you put the country before everything. You are righteous.

Last time, you tied up your father and took him to the assembly hall.

I already found you so admirable then.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

There's sedative in the tea.

General Man, General Man. Wake up.

Guard Ko?

The money downstairs!

Lieutenant Suen.

The money's gone.

These monsters are so cold-blooded. They killed everyone. Who are they?

Just now I saw a tiger tattoo on the server's arm.

There's a lock of red hair on the tiger's head. It has a pair of wings too.

Red hair? Wings? It's the Flying Tiger Gang.

They are wicked. They plunder people's home.

They hide in the mountain five miles north of the city.

Let's liaise with Deputy Law right away.

Ask him to take his troops here to meet us.

Then we'll go to the bandits' hideout to get the government money back.

We can't allow the robbers to take the money.

We must eliminate them and get the money back.

[Heyang]

This is such a tiring trip. But you don't look weary at all, General.

You are strong.

I'm as strong as the emperor. I seldom get a chance to leave the palace.

I feel great.

You should feel happy, General.

Man Kim Fung thought he could protect the government money

by splitting up into two teams.

How would he ever realize that you knew his plan all along?

You even hired the Flying Tiger Gang to rob them.

The money's mine. Now it's returned to its rightful owner.

Too bad Ko Hin Yeung isn't killed. It's really a shame.

General, there's an urgent letter from Lady Yin.

Damn it.

That lousy emperor wants to kill my cousin? Get me a horse right away.

I need to hurry back to the palace to save my cousin.

Po Yin. How's it? Is cousin back?

I've received godfather's letter.

He said he could be back before noon on the nineteenth.

That will be great.

You'll be fine. You'll get out of here for sure.

I want to see you give birth to a prince. I want to see my grandson grow up.

I want to see you become the queen.

I've got so many unfulfilled wishes.

I don't want to die yet.

You'll be fine, mom. I won't let you die.

[Village near Changan]

There's only this tea stall around. I hope you won't mind, General.

How long will it take before we arrive at the palace gate?

You can get some rest after dinner.

If we keep going at night, I believe we'll arrive by dawn.

Good. We must hurry to the palace before noon tomorrow.

Without my permission, even the emperor can't kill anyone under my protection.

General.

Why do you look so panicked?

I've received the info that Man Kim Fung and Ko Hin Yeung have wiped out

the Flying Tiger Gang and got all the government money back.

They're now on the way to Cizhou to help the drought victims.

Damn it.

Man Kim Fung is so stupid to help Ko Hin Yeung work against me.

Why did I get such a stupid student?

Missus Man will be executed tomorrow.

How is General Man still delivering the government money to Cizhou?

Po Yin doesn't know they've split up into two teams to distract other people.

I'm afraid her letter didn't reach him.

In other words, you're the only person who can save Missus Man now, General?

My head hurts so bad.

Take me to the nearest inn right away.

Now... Now!

Yes, sir.

[My son died on the first day of February in Year Kei Hoi.]

[May God take him to heaven.]

[Mother Yiu Kam Ling.]

Son, I miss you so much... I'm useless.

I can't bring you to this world.

But your death won't be in vain. I want a life for a life.

Forget this world. Just move on.

Son, feel easy to go. I swear, I'll avenge your death.

- My love. - Your Majesty.

Why did you try to kill yourself? Thank God Fei Yin found you in time.

Why are you so silly?

I don't want to live. I feel so painful.

I dream every night. I see our unborn son in my dreams.

He's so cute and nice.

He's a boy.

He cries helplessly. He's so pitiful.

He keeps asking me why I've abandoned him.

Why let him hit the road alone. I'm guilty.

I'm guilty.

You aren't. That hateful woman. Suen Ka Bik is.

I've sentenced her to strangulation. She will be executed tomorrow.

I promise you I will make it up to you in the days to come

and mend your broken heart.

Your Majesty.

Don't cry. I'll stay to keep you company tonight.

No matter what happens, I'll be there for you.

Cousin... Cousin, are you back?

Honey, honey. I'm here, honey...

What are you doing?

My cousin and my husband are coming back. Don't come over. They're coming back.

Don't come over.

I want to see His Majesty. Get out of my way.

Lady Lai is unwell. His Majesty is keeping her company inside.

He's given order that no one is allowed to go in and disturb him.

Is it really His Majesty's order? Or did you just make it up?

If you don't believe it, I really can't help you.

I must see His Majesty today.

Master Bao, you inform His Majesty right away.

Your ladyship, His Majesty did give the order

that no one is allowed to go in unless summoned by him.

Master Bao.

My lady, you'd better leave.

If I can't see His Majesty today, I won't leave.

My lady.

Be kind, Your Majesty.

Spare my mother's life please.

Be kind, Your Majesty.

Don't execute my mother please.

Be kind, Your Majesty.

I beg for your mercy please.

Let me go. Let me go. My cousin is coming back. He will rescue me.

He will chop your hand off. Let me go. Let me go. Do you know who I am?

I say let me go. Let me go. Do you know who my cousin is?

He's Ma Yuen Chi. My husband is General Man.

My daughter is a lady. Let me go. Let me go.

They will kill all of you.

It will be noon time soon. Make the prisoner sit down.

When the joss stick is burned out. The execution will be carried out.

Have mercy, Your Majesty. My mom is really innocent.

His Majesty and Lady Lai are still sleeping.

How will he hear your scream?

Your Majesty, my mom is really innocent.

It's almost noon...

Why don't you go to see Missus Man one last time, my lady?

If you go there late, I'm afraid you will never get a chance to see her again.

Mom... Mom.

My lady! My lady!

Noon time. Execute the prisoner now.

Mom... Mom!

Mom... Mom.

- My lady. - Mom.

Mom... Mom. I'm sorry, mom.

My lady.

Please accept my condolences, my lady.

Thank you, Sam Ho.

Is this mom's hairpin?

The gemstone came off.

Missus Man had asked me to fix it for her.

This was mom's dowry.

She treasured it a lot. Now she's already gone.

Everything is so different.

Please mind your health, my lady.

I'm making arrangement for my mom's funeral.

I'll bury this hairpin with her.

If mom sees it in heaven, she will feel so happy.

Thank you, Sam Ho.

Don't mention it, my lady. I'm just doing my job.

My lady. Mistress Lau.

- Have you gotten everything ready? - Yes.

My lady, you want to pay respect to Missus Man at night?

I know mom was a convict. I'm not allowed to pay respect to her.

But she was badly tortured. Now she's dead.

She's all alone without getting any offerings. I really feel ashamed.

So I want to do something for her in the middle of the night.

If you don't mind, my lady, I want to offer a joss stick to Missus Man too.

I'm so sorry, mom. I can't give you a grand funeral.

I can only give you a pot of wine. Please rest in peace.

I've already fixed your hairpin, madam. I hope you like it.

I told you to prepare some paper money.

How come there are just gold and silver nuggets?

There isn't any paper money at all. Do you remember what I told you?

I do. Actually I asked the junior masters

I'm acquainted with to get me the paper offerings from the Palace Matters Office.

But they said there's a shortage of paper money.

It won't be available until a few days. I've already done my best.

No paper money? Then mom can't pay the toll on her way to heaven.

She doesn't get the money to pay the ghost guards.

When she walks pass Bridge of No Return, she doesn't even get the money

to buy a bowl of tea from Madam Mang to help her forget her suffering in this life.

I'm sorry, my lady.

My lady, don't be so harsh on yourself.

Although Madam doesn't get paper money, she still gets gold and silver nuggets.

She was rich when she was alive.

She can use the gold nuggets to pay the toll now she's dead

and the silver nuggets to pay the ghost guards.

She must feel so happy and proud.

You're right, Sam Ho. Mom will be so happy on the way to heaven.

Your ladyship's pulse is regular. You've completely recovered.

I'll prescribe some replenishing herb for you.

You can bear children for His Majesty again very soon.

I hope so, doctor.

My lady, my mother is seriously sick.

I want to return to my hometown to take care of her.

You want to quit? Do you really want to go home to take care of your mother?

Or do you want to stay away from me?

I dare not. I'm a coward.

Ever since Missus Man was executed, I've felt so freaked out.

I can't eat or sleep.

I really can't serve your ladyship anymore.

It's too heavy a burden.

Here comes His Majesty.

Let's talk about this later.

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

At ease.

Dr. Sze, is Lady Lai alright?

Her ladyship is fine. I'll prescribe some replenishing herbs for her.

Good.

Your Majesty, I need to hurry back to the Pharmacy. May I be excused?

Your Majesty is busy dealing with national affairs.

I've specifically asked the Food Department to make some jellies for Your Majesty.

Jellies are moderate.

It suits Your Majesty the best. Fei Yin.

No, thanks. My appetite is bad.

Before Missus Man was executed, Lady Yin had asked to see me time and again.

But every time I turned her down.

Although Missus Man deserved to be executed, she was still Lady Yin's mother.

It's understandable that she's grievous, so I want to give the jellies to her.

What do you think?

You care about sis so much. This is more meaningful to her than nice food.

I'm glad that you aren't mad at Lady Yin.

This is the only thing I can do. Missus Man practiced black magic.

She's punished properly. But sis will think this happened because of me.

I dare not get too close to her lest she will feel unhappy.

Lady Yin is spoiled and untamed, but her nature is kind.

She can tell what's right or wrong.

I hope so.

I'll feel relieved if you and Lady Yin can get along peacefully.

My lady, I've already delivered the jellies to Fairy Chamber.

Did Lady Yin enjoy it so much when she knew it's from His Majesty?

She wore a broad smile. She's such a good actress.

She pretends to be sad for the loss of her mother

in front of His Majesty to win his sympathy.

Let me give her some poison. See if she'll swallow it.

Just now I saw some candles and paper offerings in Fairy Chamber.

I bet she thought His Majesty would go see her.

So she got those things ready to pretend that she would pay respect to her mom.

She's doing to win His Majesty's favor.

Suen Ka Bik was a convict. No one is allowed to pay respect to her.

Why don't we report this to the empress?

Let's tell her Lady Yin pays respect to her mom in violation of the rules.

She should be punished. She's asked for it.

No. The empress is too kind-hearted. She places much weight on filial piety.

Even if she knows Lady Yin has paid respect to her mom

she would still let her go if Lady Yin cries before her.

If she really wants to pay respect to her mom, she will do it in secret.

She won't do it in public.

This month... Is there any celebration in the palace?

Tomorrow is a lucky day.

Even God is on my side.

Lady Yin thinks she can eat so happily the jellies His Majesty gave her?

I want her to know she has to pay for this.

Today I'll go with you to worship the Fertility Guanyin.

I hope you will carry a baby for His Majesty again.

I hope so, Your Highness.

Listen. The magpies are singing.

Right... Look. The flowers blossom in pairs.

Good things do come in pairs. Right.

Your Highness, today is a lucky day. The magpies sing and the flowers blossom.

This is a very lucky sign.

Good. You're right. Today, Lady Lai will worship Guanyin.

She'll ask God to give her a son. Her wish will definitely be granted.

Her dream will come true.

I hope God will be moved by my sincerity and give me a son.

Right.

All the joy is gone seeing something... so unlucky.

How dare you, Fei Yin? Today is a lucky day.

Don't talk nonsense.

Who did this? Who threw paper money around in the palace?

Fei Yin, you find out right away who did this.

Who's so rude to offend Her Highness and make her so mad.

Yes, my lady.

Your Highness, my lady. I've checked with the Palace Matters Office.

It's Lady Yin who paid respect to Missus Man at night.

She asked the masters to give her the paper money.

So it's Lady Yin who did this.

Please don't be mad, Your Highness. I know Missus Man was guilty.

No one is allowed to pay respect to her, but she was Lady Yin's mother after all.

Will Your Highness please forgive sis.

I understand she feels hurt losing her mom.

It's understandable that Lady Yin wants to pay respect to her.

If she did so in her bedroom or her backyard, I won't pursue it.

But she threw paper money around in the imperial garden.

This is in blatant breach of the law. She's shown no respect for the rules.

Maybe sis doesn't know throwing paper money around will spoil

Your Highness' mood and damage the feng shui of the palace.

She should be able to tell right from wrong.

She should mind her conduct.

Today I went to worship Guanyin to pray for His Majesty.

I want him to get a son who will succeed to his throne.

Now she's made me feel so unhappy. It amounts to disrespect for His Majesty.

The rules must be followed. The law must be enforced.

Lady Yin's behavior is unruly.

She must be punished severely to learn her lesson.

This is my order.

Lady Yin will be confined to her bedroom for half a year.

Her stipend will be suspended too as a punishment.

General, I was informed just now that General Man had learned

about the execution of Missus Man

while he's helping the victims in Cizhou.

Now he's hurrying back to the capital.

It's believed that he'll arrive by tomorrow night.

Tomorrow is the seventh day of cousin's death.

He can make it in time to offer her a joss stick.

I'll quit rice and other food in the coming couple of days.

I'll eat plain congee and vegetables instead.

General, are you unwell?

My cousin died just now. Of course I feel so down.

How would I get the appetite for nice food?

Besides, if I don't look thin and worn out

how would people believe I fell sick earlier

so that I couldn't hurry back to the palace in time to rescue my cousin?

I hired the bandits to rob the escort team and get my money back.

But Man Kim Fung and Ko Hin Yeung

wiped out the Flying Tiger Gang and ruined my plan.

Although he didn't make me suffer the financial loss intentionally

I do intend to make him suffer the loss of his wife.

On the one hand, it helps to vent my anger.

On the other hand, it will make him hate the emperor.

My cousin's life has brought me a lot of benefits.

Her death is worth the while.

I can't burn any offering for mom. I can only offer her the scent of flowers.

Madam loved the fragrance of flowers. She would appreciate this for sure.

I hope mom will rest in peace.

She hits the road alone. I'm afraid it will be so tough for her.

- Dad. - Po Yin.

I'm sorry. I've failed to save mom.

Don't blame yourself for this. Everything is predestined.

Honey, I'm home. You can go in peace.

- Po Yin. - My lady.

Are you alright? How come your hands are so cold?

Ever since madam was arrested her ladyship has lost her appetite.

I know you love your mom deeply.

It's really tough for you to face this alone.

I'm fine. Don't worry, dad.

She groveled till there's blood all over her face. How will she be fine?

- Godfather. - Mentor.

Kim Fung, today's the seventh day since cousin died.

I knew you would come to Fairy Chamber when you're back.

So I struggled to get off the bed to come see you.

Thank you.

Po Yin, you're ill. Don't exhaust yourself. Get some rest in your room.

- Help her ladyship to her bedroom. - Yes, General.

May I be excused?

Po Yin kept begging His Majesty.

She cried till her voice was coarse and her eyes swollen.

But His Majesty wasn't moved at all.

Once I got her letter, I immediately hurried back to the capital.

But I suddenly fell sick on the way.

I couldn't get to the palace in time to beg His Majesty.

I failed to save cousin's life.

It isn't your fault, mentor.

My wife was sentenced to death.

Even if you went to see His Majesty

you still might not be able to change anything.

Cousin was your wife and Po Yin's mom.

Apart from considering the law, His Majesty should also consider family.

I can't believe he's so cold-blooded and relentless.

Kim Fung, I worried about you while you were escorting the government money.

It's a dangerous job. There are bandits everywhere.

If you made any mistake, His Majesty would hold you liable.

Thank God you were so competent. The government money wasn't stolen.

I've done everything to safeguard the money.

But I've failed to safeguard my wife.

His Majesty is cold-blooded.

If you talked to him... I'm afraid even if I did so, it still wouldn't work.

His Majesty rules the country according to the law.

There's a basis for his every decision.

If one makes a mistake, he should be punished.

If a person is guilty, he must be executed. Of course His Majesty can be cold-blooded.

- Your Majesty. - At ease.

Much obliged, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, the government money has reached the affected places.

It's distributed among the victims. There was some danger.

But the mission's accomplished at last.

Both of you have done a good job. I'll give you two a substantial reward.

It's my duty to get the job done. I've got my pay already.

I'm not entitled to receive further rewards.

General Man.

Your Majesty, if you want to give me money

why don't you give it to the drought victims?

They will say Long Live the King for sure.

They will call you a kind emperor and a holy master.

You'll be as nice as the late Tai Chung emperor.

Your name will go down in history.

Your Majesty, I followed General Man in fighting the bandits

and getting the government money back.

General Man was in total control of the situation.

I'm really far from his match.

I've worked as a general for years.

Killing in the battlefield is but a piece of cake for me.

The bandits didn't constitute any threats to me.

General Man was so brave in leading the troops.

That's why everyone in the troop supports him.

As you won't accept any pecuniary reward, I'll give you some nice wine then.

The soldiers will get a reward too.

Someone in my family's dead. How am I in the mood to celebrate?

It won't help even if Your Majesty give me the title of a duke.

I don't care about fame and fortune. I don't crave for people's compliment.

What would you like then, General Man? Maybe His Majesty will grant your wish.

I'm afraid His Majesty is unable to do so. You can't make someone come alive again.

Your Majesty, can you bring someone back to life after she's killed?

My condolences for your loss, but you shouldn't harbor any hatred.

Back then Missus Man committed a very serious offense.

I just sentenced her according to the law. I didn't do anything wrong.

You are in command of the military. You should understand an order is an order.

The law must be enforced impartially.

Even the emperor will be found guilty like a commoner if he ever breaks the law.

Your Majesty passed the sentence according to Tang law.

Of course you got a basis in doing so, but my wife didn't start a rebellion.

She didn't do anything vicious.

It's just the conflict between the women in the palace.

According to the law, she should be sentenced to death.

But you could spare her life on compassionate ground.

Compassion must never exceed the law. I'm the emperor. I rule the country.

If I don't follow the law, how can I convince the people?

How can I rule the country?

The ancient sage said that

one must manage himself and his family before he can rule the country.

Now Your Majesty can't even solve the conflicts in the palace.

How can you rule the country then?

To enforce the law diligently is the way to rule the country.

There will be adverse effect if you cause complaints and hate.

You're too stubborn, General.

I just insist on what's right.

General Man.

Forget it. My wife's gone already. There's no point to argue further.

It seems that if I stay for the banquet, I will only spoil Your Majesty's mood.

I'd better leave.

I thought I could celebrate with you.

I didn't expect to upset you, General Man.

I really can't bring anyone back to life again.

But don't you get any other wishes that are within my power?

My wife was executed for her wrongdoing.

I would ask for Your Majesty's permission to take her body home for burial.

This is the proper thing to do. Your request is fair enough.

You love your wife deeply. Your request is granted.

Much obliged, Your Majesty.

You're really so kind, Sam Ho. You're nice to animals and birds too.

You're back?

Yes.

I wanted to come see you earlier.

It got windy last night.

The nest was blown over. I happened to pass by.

I'm just trying my best to help fix it.

What happened in the palace was beyond my power. This is the only thing I can do.

You mean Missus Man's case?

Yes. Back then General Man's family moved in happily.

Who would expect such a drastic change?

Missus Man was executed. The Man's family is like this ruined nest.

No one can ever stop bad things from happening. Just stay cool.

No matter it's a blessing or a curse, just deal with it calmly.

In future, no matter joy or sorrow, I'm willing to share it with you.

Thank you. I'll ask you to do me a favor then, Officer Ko.

Just now I went to visit dad. He's fine. He said you visited him everyday.

You brought him nice food. He asked me to thank you.

Uncle Ko is really kind. I wasn't of much help at all.

I tried to play chess with him, but I'm really bad.

He kept making concession for me. I wonder who's entertaining whom.

Hey, there's more over here.

Master Ngai, how come there's so much paper money?

We've cleaned up a lot already. Earlier it was all over the river.

Some are stuck between the stones. They keep drifting out.

Who's so reckless to throw the paper money around?

- Lady Yin did so. - Lady Yin?

Missus Man was executed. Her ladyship paid respect to her mom at night.

But she kept too high a profile.

No wonder the empress was so angry to have her confined for half a year.

It really isn't a severe punishment. There's more over there. Come on.

Sam Ho, what's the matter?

That night when Lady Yin paid respect to Missus Man, I was there too.

We didn't have any paper money.

It's impossible that she threw it into the river. This wasn't done by Lady Yin.

First, Lady Yin lost her mom.

Then she's punished for something she didn't do.

She's so unlucky.

I don't think this is a coincidence. Someone set her up.

Who would do so in the palace?

- Sam Ho. - Lady Lai.

Great. His Majesty is throwing a party for the officials tonight. We can chat.

I feel so bored.

There are so many offerings?

It will be the forty-ninth day of my son's death.

I want to get prepared.

Fei Yin, have you got the paper money and other paper stuff?

Everything is set, my lady.

When you make the offerings, you must be more careful

lest the paper money will drop into the river again.

- Someone will get punished for that. - Sam Ho, what do you mean?

Lady Yin was set up.

She was accused of throwing the paper money into the river four days ago

when she paid respect to Missus Man.

Yesterday was a lucky day.

When the empress saw the paper money in the river, she was so angry.

As a punishment, Lady Yin is grounded for half a year. Her stipend is suspended too.

I heard about that too.

You should know who set Lady Yin up.

How would I know that?

You do. I've checked with the Palace Matters Office.

There had been a shortage of paper money earlier.

The new stock was delivered to the palace only two days ago.

But Lady Yin paid respect to Missus Man four days ago.

Where did she get the paper money on that day to throw into the river?

There wasn't any in the Palace Matters Office.

It doesn't mean she couldn't get it somewhere else.

She could send someone outside the palace to buy it.

That's impossible.

On the night Lady Yin paid respect to Missus Man, I was there too.

She kept crying because there wasn't any paper money.

I comforted her so she could carry on with the ceremony.

Even so, it doesn't mean I know who did it.

According to the masters in the Palace Matters Office

from then till this morning, only you had sent Fei Yin to get paper money from them.

Lady Yin is already so broken from losing her mother.

Why do you want to hurt her further?

Mistress Lau, please don't be mad at her ladyship. It's my fault.

Fei Yin.

My lady, I can't allow you to suffer this. Please let me talk.

I was the one who threw the paper money into the river.

Her lady wasn't involved in it.

Lady Yin isn't your enemy. Why did you do so?

Fei Yin did so only to even the score for me.

So you knew it long ago?

I found out the truth only after the empress had punished Lady Yin.

But Fei Yin did so for my sake.

Am I supposed to take her to the empress and have her punished?

It was Missus Man who cursed you. Lady Yin wasn't involved.

Even if Fei Yin wanted to help you, she shouldn't set Lady Yin up.

Who set up whom? They practiced black magic first.

I don't believe Lady Yin had no knowledge of it.

Both of them were jealous right from the very beginning

because I was carrying His Majesty's baby.

They wanted to hurt me.

This is just your conjecture. You don't have any evidence at all.

Competing for favor is the norm in the palace. Who needs evidence?

I've lost my baby. I get bad dreams every night. I feel so hurt.

You say Fei Yin has crossed the line. Didn't they cross the line too?

I admit I've spoiled Fei Yin. I didn't turn her in.

But is this a serious crime?

The two of them had my son killed. What I've done is nothing.

My lady.

Fei Yin hates to see them bully me time and again.

She feels unfair that Lady Yin isn't punished. That's why she did so.

Even a maid has done that for me. You are my good sister.

But you didn't help me. Now you even reprimand me.

Sam Ho, you've never been a mom before. You don't understand how painful it is.

Ever since I was pregnant, I've planned everything for my son.

I hoped someday he could call me mom. I hoped he could grow up.

But... But my son didn't even get a chance to come to this world.

I know you're righteous, Sam Ho. You want justice for Lady Yin.

You want to do the right thing. Fine. Take the paper money.

Tell the empress that I allowed Fei Yin to accuse Lady Yin wrongfully.

Ask the empress to punish me.

I've already lost my son. All my hopes are gone.

I'm not afraid of dying.

Son, I miss you so much. Son... Son.
