[Weaving a Tale of Love]

[Episode 18]

[Hall of Esteemed Virtues]

It is my fault.

Please forgive me, Crown Prince. I will apply medicine for you again.

Imperial Physican Zong, you may leave.

A Sheng will apply the medicine for me.

Your Highness's order,

I wish to treat you well.

I don't dare to belittle it.

Since it is like this,

Then I will report to him that your skills are not well.

So that he can ask another Imperial Doctor to come instead.

Crown Prince, I...I...I...

Imperial Doctor Zhong, Crown Prince asked you to rest because he thinks you are tired.

I can do something small like applying medicine.

Thank you, Crown Prince. Then please apply.

Please.

I am taking my leave.

Throw away all these things!

Please don't get mad, Your Highness.

Prince Cao dares to kill me so openly.

And he even wants to place his person in my palace.

Who knows if he will do it again?!

Your Highness, if you are not willing to use the Imperial Physician's medicine,

but what about your wound? It is still bleeding.

It is almost going to be night.

-Where can we find a doctor? -But it is better than dying randomly because of him!

Talented Lady Wu asks to meet with you.

I heard that you have gotten injured.

I came specifically to visit you.

Thank you for your concern.

This is a famous doctor in Changan, Doctor Lu.

He is also generation alliances with the Wu Family.

If anyone in the Wu Family is not well,

we all ask him to treat us.

Today, I heard that you have gotten hurt.

Therefore, I specifically asked Doctor Lu to come here to help.

His skills and personality,

I trust all of it.

If it's someone you trust, I also give my trust.

Greetings, Crown Prince.

Please, Doctor Lu.

It hurts.

The injury you have's power is strong.

But good thing there is no poison on the arrow, so it is not a big issue.

I will give you a prescription, drink it.

After 3 days, your wound will heal itself.

After a month, then your arm can be like normal again.

Shulan, hurry up and bring Doctor Lu to prescribe the medicine.

Yes.

Doctor Lu, please come with me.

A'Sheng.

Your Highness.

Give Hua Tian a good burial.

Place his memorial tablet in the temple.

You must take good care of his wife and children.

Huatian has been with me for many years. Even til his death.

That day at the hunting field, he insisted on exchanging clothes with me.

He was prepared to die for me.

Not only Huatian,

also the other soldiers that were killed or injured because of me.

You have to take great care of them.

Yes.

Your Highness, Crown Prince's wound

is really deep. Luckily it is only exterior.

The palace also has great medicine to treat it.

As long as he takes the medicine on time and rest well,

the Crown Prince will get well soon.

This servant is here to greet Your Highness Prince of Cao. Greetings, Imperial Physician Zong.

Consort Yang asked me to ask Your Highness to see her at the Hall of Brillilant Joy

Greetings, Mother.

I just went to see Imperial Doctor Zhong,

your people came not long after.

You really know my whereabouts well.

I have no time to make excuses.

The Crown Prince getting injured at the hunting ground, was it your doing?

You went to find Imperial Doctor Zhong, did you want to use our Yang Family's relations

to force him to hurt the Crown Prince?

You have thought too much, Mother.

Since I know your kinship with Imperial Doctor Zhong,

I obviously will avoid him.

How would I be stupid enough to ask Imperial Doctor Zhong to hurt the Crown Prince?

I went to find him

only to know about the Crown Prince's wound.

Then what about the hunting ground?

You are admitting it?

I don't dare to hide it from you.

It was my doing.

You really have gotten mad.

You are so daring and not care about the consequence.

What can I do about you?

If you really think I should die,

then report me to the King. I will not blame you.

My life is not as good as Li Zhi's.

He is a weak and feeble person,

but he gets that extraordinarily intelligent Talented Lady Wu to assist him.

Your skills are not worse than that Talented Lady Wu.

Eleven years ago, the King had thoughts about making you Queen.

But you didn't fight or steal.

You didn't think for my future.

If I could have your help,

then how would I be so alone?

How do you want me to help you?

You are willing to help me?

Since it has come to this,

what other choice do I have?

After the incidents with secret hoarding of armor and the killing in the hunting field,

You and the Crown Prince is water and fire.

If you fail, you will for sure face death.

Although you are young,

I have raised you since you were young, and think of you as my own.

Is there a mother in the world

that can watch their own child to die?

Thank you, Mother.

There may be a wave of bloody battle in the palace.

Remember, you have to keep your distance with Prince Cao.

Including the people near him.

For example, his mother, Consort Yang.

Don't show off when there is trouble, don't make achievements nor mistakes.

This is the basic rule of survival.

Pei Xingjian said that the Crown Prince has trouble,

he is right.

It looks like Prince Cao is the one that is making it hard for the Crown Prince.

No wonder why mother wanted to leave the palace faraway.

This really is not a safe place.

Even the Crown Prince can encounter danger.

I'm just a little medical officer,

what can I use to revenge for Mother?

Maybe I'll just fight them to death.

Female Officer Qiniang.

Female Officer Shulan.

This... Isn't this the two sets of undergarments that were just sent over to the crown prince?

Why are they returned?

How did you do the task?

I have told you many times that on the Crown Prince's body, there are wounds.

The opening to the sleeves must be made larger.

In the end, it is still small.

The moment the Crown Prince wore it, he complained it hurts.

Who sewed this clothing? So not caring.

It isn't hard to make the clothing larger,

but it might not look good on the Crown Prince.

Just make it larger.

Why do you ask so much? We have our own reasons.

Yes, I was careless.

Don't worry, Female Officer Shulan, I will tell them to make it again.

Also, it's not enough to have two sets for one day.

Starting today, add another set.

Yes. After the clothing is finished,

I will quickly send it over.

I am sorry Qiniang, I will redo it now.

Hao Hao, go to the supply room to see if there is any fabric to make the clothes for Crown Prince.

If there isn't, then go to Directorate of Eunuchs.

Yes.

I have been making clothes for the Crown Prince endlessly these days.

I've even delayed on the embroidery work for the Yulanpen Festival.

And it still isn't done.

A Bi, have you finished your sewing work?

You keep walking around, and you aren't afraid of Shifu getting mad.

Shhhhh.

Can you be quiet? Shifu is bothered right now.

She asked me to prepare Xuemei Tea.

To help clear her mind.

Attire Expert Zhuo has to even use Xuemei Tea to clear her brain?

It looks like she really did encounter a hard task this time.

Isn't Master making the dress for Consort Yang to wear in the Yulanpen Festival?

Why is she so annoyed?

Consort Yang has a good temper and never picks on the clothes.

But, for whatever reason, she suddenly became serious this time.

She asks Attire Expert Zhuo specifically to deign it for her.

Attire Expert Zhuo finished designing the sample and sent it to Hall of Gentle Breeze.

But Consort Yang was still unsatisfied.

She rejected all of them.

What is with Consort Yang?

Unless it is because Talented Lady Wu is being loved by the king and doesn't want to lose

and wants to compete at the Yulanpeng Festival?

Shuanger!

Go back and get to work.

Sister A'Bi.

Sister A'Bi, just let me do this kind of lowly work like serving tea.

You... just want to climb up when you see Attire Expert Zhuo.

You don't even miss the chance like to make tea.

I just want to do some work for Attire Expert.

And climb up your tall branch.

You are such a sweet talker. No wonder the higher-ups like you.

But...letting you do this type of thing, you can't do it anyways.

Why?

The tea Attire Expert Zhuo uses to clear her mind is not an ordinary tea.

During the coldest time of winter,

Attire Expert Zhuo will always accumulate the snow water from the plum flower petals.

Put it in the jug and bury it underground.

Then she will get it out only after it has been covered for 3 years.

Then, use the plum tree's roots to boil the snow water.

In a hot day,

brew tea using the plum flowers saved previously,

it can really detoxify the summer heat and the frangrance lingers within the lips.

A sip of tea needs so much work?

Of course, not only can this tea empty your mind,

it can also help you brainstorm creative ideas. One jug of snow water

can only make one pot of tea.

So Attire Expert Zhuo is never willing to let others drink it.

Besides, something like making tea is based on the fire.

If the fire is too high or low, it is not good.

Such precise work, can you do it?

Sister A'Bi,

I am dumb, but helping Attire Expert to run errands,

and help out, I can still do.

Such refined work as making tea should still be done by Sister.

Okay, sure then. Then fetch me the tea water from that house.

It's in a small jar atop the cabinet.

Be careful to not break it.

I know, don't worry.

Xiao Douzi, did you find it yet?

Coming!

I heard that His Majesty is especially interested in this year's Yulanpeng Festival.

The royal harem is all using all their efforts.

To make this year's attires the best.

This year, Talented Lady Wu is favored and has become Consort Yang's helper at the Yulanpeng Festival.

All the concubines in the palace are looking at her with renewed attention.

Attire Chief Zhuo's dressmaking skill is already outstanding.

Why is Consort Yang still not satisfied?

That's because you've never seen the skill of Number One Needle in the World, Madam An.

That is called surprising.

Consort Yang comparing the previous Attire Expert An and Attire Expert Zhuo.

She says Attire Expert Zhuo's skills are far from her Shifu's.

How can Attire Expert Zhuo not be discouraged?

So what is her skills are good?

My grandpa and mother told me since I was little,

even if your skills are the best,

it can't compare to righteousness.

Madam An was treacherous

and committed acts of conspiracy, ended up harming others and herself.

How can a guilty person like this be able to have the title of the world's best sewist?

Zhuo Jinniang is worth dying.

But if she dies like this,

even if I have taken revenge now,

Mother's innocence can never be given back.

Wouldn't Mother's death still not exonerated?

Sister A'Bi.

-What's the matter? -This tray is too heavy, let me carry it for you.

No need.

No need. I can hold it myself.

What's wrong with you? You want to take credit so much that you've gone crazy?

Why are you like this? You do something wrong and blame me?!

A'Bi, Xiao Douzi, what's wrong with the two of you?

You guys can cause problems even when making a tea.

Qiniang it is all my fault.

It's nothing to do with Sister A'Bi.

I will make another cup of tea.

It is all your fault, and you are still pretending to be the good person now?

In the future, you don't need to care about my affairs!

Enough, stop talking.

Don't let Shifu see and get a spanking.

Boil another cup.

Why am I so unlucky?

The Yulanpeng Festival is coming up soon.

You guys are all busy fighting for favor in the Royal Harem.

I end up with the work that no one likes and easy to ge criticized.

It was so hard for me to finish fixing it.

If it gets dirty again,

I'll get criticized by Female Officer Shulan again.

I will go for you.

Go to West Market and get two more medicines using this prescription.

-Avoid people. -Yes.

Eunuch Wang.

Physician Dou, why are you here?

Attire Expert Zhuo likes my dressmaking skill,

so she transferred me from the Courtyard of Misfortune.

So I'm working at the Bureau of Imperial Attire for now.

Eunuch Wang, just call me Xiao Dou Zi.

I heard the Crown Prince got injured, so I came to see in the name of sending clothes.

How is the Crown Prince's wound? Is it better?

You have came right on time.

Because his arm is injured, he is angry.

You can help me please him.

You are much better at this than me.

Wait for him to finish changing medicine.

Crown Prince got injured so deep.

What does the Imperial Doctors say?

Your Highness doesn't trust the Imperial Doctors.

It is a doctor Talented Lady Wu found outside the palace.

He says his wound is alright and there is no poison on the arrow.

He prescribed internal and external medications.

Two days ago, he was fine.

Starting from the third day,

the wound started to worsen.

He has a high fever.

Your Highness forbids us to find an Imperial Doctor.

What should we do?

Crown Prince! Crown Prince!

Eunuch Wang, Crown Prince has fainted again!

Your Highness. Your Highness.

Eunuch Wang, even though I'm a sanitation medical offier,

but I have read a few medical books before.

Can I have a look at his wound?

Right. You are also a doctor.

Hurry up and have a look.

The wound is rotting, yet it cannot blacken.

This looks like a symptom of poisoning.

Last time the doctor said the arrow that wounded the Crown Prince did not have poison.

Also, after medical help, the wound seemed to get better.

But after 2 days, it began to worsen.

There must be something fishy within this.

What are things that can come in contact with the Crown Prince's wound?

It's only medicine, gauze, and undergarments.

The medicine was given by Doctor Lu. The effects on the first 2 days were well.

Gauze is from East Palace's supply.

They have all been boiled in water.

The clothes are prepared and sent over by the Bureau of Imperial Attire every day.

Everything is really careful, there shouldn't be any mistakes.

Reporting to Eunuch, Talented Lady Wu asks to visit.

Hurry up and ask her to come!

How is it? Is Crown Prince better today?

Talented Lady Wu, it's good that you have come.

Crown Prince just fainted. You have to help find a solution.

Xiao Douzi greets Talented Lady Wu.

This... I invited the physician from the city.

Why is Crown Prince's wound getting worse and worse?

I don't dare to come up with random ideas anymore.

May I speak up? I heard Eunuch Wang say that

Crown Prince was in good shape two days ago.

it means that the physician is fine.

Perhaps there is a problem somewhere else.

Now that Crown Prince is unconscious, we can't delay.

If the last physician wasn't good, then find another physician.

Chang'an is so large, there has to be a good physician.

Xiao Douzi is right.

Eunuch Wang, hurry and leave the palace to find Pei Xingjian.

Let him search to find the best physicians in Chang'an

and send them all to the palace to treat Crown Prince.

Let several of these physicians diagnose together, they shouldn't be wrong.

If the prescription has no problem,

the it has to be another place that has a problem.

Let's check it one after another one, and we'll definitely find it.

Sure, I'm going to find him now.

When I go back, I'll ask that Physician Lu to come again.

If his prescription has a problem, I won't forgive him.

You are smart. Stay by the crown prince here

and don't let anything bad happen.

Yes.

Hey.

Why are your eyes closed?

Are you despising me?

Cro-Crown Prince is awake?

How do you feel? Are you feeling better?

If I close my eyes,

it's because I get dizzy at the sight of blood.

A physician that gets dizzy over blood.

I'm a lousy physician.

I've never seen such a severe wound.

I think dressmaking is still more suitable for me.

I've troubled you.

It's not just you, I'm scared too.

I lost a lot of blood.

I'm afraid that if I sleep, then I won't wake up again.

Xiao Douzi,

I dreamed of my imperial mother just now.

Do you think she came here to pick me up?

Of course not!

How do you know she isn't?

When I was very young,

my mother died.

My mother was a very smart

and very kind woman.

She always told me that

life is a most precious thing.

But, to a mother, her child is even more important than her life.

Therefore, if I'm truly a filial child,

I shouldn't just be good to her,

I also need to treat myself well,

protect myself well.

Only this way I can let Mother be at ease.

So the late Empress's love toward Crown Prince

must be this way too.

When she came to your dream to visit you,

it was to encourage you.

Therefore, no matter how dangerous the road in front of you is,

or how difficult the goal is,

as long as there is still a sliver of hope, we must not easily give up.

We can't disappoint our mothers who are looking down at us from Heaven.

We can't just live safely,

we also live to become what our mothers wants us to be.

This is the best comfort to them.

You are right.

I can't disappoint my mother.

But, do you know how hard that is?

As the crown prince,

I almost got killed by others,

but I still have to pretend nothing happened and socialize with them.

I am very frustrated,

but I don't know how to vet.

Xiao Douzi,

I remember you were good at taking things easily.

Let me ask you.

If this had happened to you,

can you still let it go?

Evil people wanted me to die, but I didn't die.

Didn't the evil people lose then?

Therefore, I should go on living even better,

so that those evil people won't be happy.

Ten years aren't too long for a righteous person to seek revenge.

They worry that I will revenge.

So they will live in fear.

That's why they are the ones who should be afraid.

You mean,

the one who harmed me is also afraid now.

Yes, you are right.

When I think this way, I feel much better.

Sir Pei, you are taking us to the palace.

Who do you want us to diagnose?

I'll tell you the truth now.

The person you're going to meet today is... Crown Prince

This...

Crown Prince?

I'm be mean first.

If you can cure the crown prince, there'll be a high reward.

But if you make a mistake,

you are holding your entire clan's lives in your hands.

Understand?

- Yes. - Yes.

Be careful.

Reporting to Your Highness, your wound is festering without healing, the blood won't stop and looks dark,

it is indeed a sign of poisoning.

But when His Highness got injured,

the wound wasn't poisoned.

I've been giving His Highness the best medicine for wounds, there is aboslutely no toxin.

If Your Highness doesn't believe mr, you can ask these three physicians.

I've looked at Physician Lu's prescription for Your Highness,

and I've looked at the medicine left by Physician Lu, there really isn't anything wrong.

Yes, that's right.

The medicine prescribed by Physician Lu

is the correct medicine for the wound.

Other than being expensive, there is not other problem.

Since Physician's medication has no problem,

why is Crown Prince's wound poisoned?

Your Highness, all the physicians are right.

The medicine, gauze, garment...

Which one of these three things has a problem?

We just need to test.

How do you test?

Your Highness, the wound that's covered with the medicine has already stopped bleeding.

So this means that Physician Lu's medicine is fine.

The medicine is good,

the gause and the garment are also fine.

This is so strange.

Your Highness, give me a little more time.

I will definitely find out everything.

Hao Hao, go to the supply room and see if there is any fabric to make the crown prince's clothes.

If there isn't any, then go to the Directorate of Eunuchs to get it.

Yes

I'll go take a look in the supply room.

[Supply Room]

Who?

Why are you here?

I thought of it a long time, I think Crown prince's injury

has something to do with his garment.

That's why I came tonight to the Bureau of Imperial Attire to investigate.

I happened to see that palace maid come in with the fabric.

She looked sneaky the whole way to the supply room.

If you weren't so rash, I would have

already found out which palace she is from.

I recognized her. She is Cai Yue, works for Attire Chief Lin.

In that case, Attire Chief Lin probably knows something about this.

How does a mere Attire Chief dare to harm the crown prince?

I remember it now. One day, A'Bi and Shuang'er were gossipping.

They were saying that Cao Yue originally came from Prince of Cao's Manor.

She clearly doesn't even hold the embroidery needle correctlyl, but she is popular with Attire Chief Lin.

From Prince of Cao's Manor?

This is right

[Prince of Cao's Manor]

[Mirror hangs to reflect impartiality]

[Yellow Emperor's medicine journal]

Replying to Crown Prince, the arrow that shot you isn't poisoned.

The medicine isn't toxic either.

Even the herbs that the fabric is soaked in aren't toxic.

Except that this kind of herbs is uniqiue.

Once they are used alongside the medicine for the wound,

It will alter the nature of the medicine and spread toxin.

Even though this toxin won't instantly kill you,

it can leave the wound bleeding and not heal.

When the toxin enters the bloodstream, it will make the wound fester

and eventually lead to sepsis.

At that time, even if Hua Tuo were alive, nothing could be done. (T/N: Hua Tuo was a famous physician in ancient China)

Through the inside help at the Bureau of Imperial Attire, Prince of Cao is able to poison the crown prince's clothes.

This is confirmed.

My suggestion is that Your Highness should not alert the snake in the grass.

You may as well pretend and let Prince of Cao thinks that he has succeeded.

Your Highness can use this period of time to fully recuperate.

And then plan for the future.

I, Xiao Douzi, will secretly make new garments for Crown Prince

and sew with my unique marks.

If Crown Prince finds these clothes with the special marks,

you can wear them without worries.

[Dou]

[Dou]

Talented Lady, you haven't looked so vivacious for several years.

When I saw you like this, I suddenly

thought of when you first entered the palace, dressed in the auspicioius gown,

waiting to get married.

Little girl, you are speaking more and more unruly.

You are going to see His Majesty today, why do you look so particularly happy?

Who says I'm going to see His Majesty?

Crown Prince is about to fully recover.

I'm going to pay him a visit.

Talented Lady, Eunuch Gao sent someone to ask

if Talented Lady will be serving His Majesty today? Eunuch Gao said

His Majesty is taking a nap after lunchtime.

He will be awake in an hour.

Just say that I am tired from serving him for his sleep last night. I'll go there later.

Yes.

Your Highness, Talented Lady Wu is here.

- Hurry and ask her in. - Yes.

Talented Lady Wu.

Your Highness looks quite well today.

You must have recovered already.

Thank you, Talented Lady Wu, for caring.

The wound has already healed. I should be able to move normally in a few days.

It's just that I've been pretending to be still injured, hiding all day in this sleep chamber.

I'm afraid the wound has recovered, but my brain is dulled.

Crown Prince, pelase be patient for a few more days.

You still need to send people to the Bureaul of Imperial Attire and request new change of clothing every day.

This is the only way to fool Prince of Cao and Consort Yang

- to avoid further trouble. - Talented Lady Wu, please rest assured.

I just went to the Bureau of Imperial Attire yesterday and raised a ruckus.

I said Crown Prince's wound has gotten worse.

Told them to make more new clothes.

Very good.

Could this be... Bao'er?
