Court Lady

Ep31

Your Royal Highness,

a marriage shall be arranged by parents and matchmakers.

It's not appropriate for us

to discuss my sister's marriage

among ourselves.

I was nice to you only because of your father.

Don't be so pompous.

My father has arranged Yingying's marriage.

I'm afraid she won't be able to serve you, Your Royal Highness.

You despise me?

You ungrateful bastard!

My lady,

it's so late. Why are you here?

I want to see my elder brother.

His Lordship is discussing things with Young Master.

My lady.

Get out of my way.

I have to ask him

why he would love such a cruel woman like Yin.

My lady. My lady.

What...

You rejected King Liang?

What then?

Should I agree?

King Liang always treats women badly.

Everyone in Chang'an knows that.

Yingying's life would be ruined

if she married him.

I won't let Yingying marry him.

But King Liang

is helping investigate the case of the Great Mount Cang.

The consequence will be severe

if you offend him at this point.

I don't care about that much.

Yingying is my only sister.

I won't sacrifice her marriage

no matter how serious the consequence will be.

My fellows,

You're my faithful supporters.

I won't forget you

when I achieve something big in the future.

Come on, guys. Bottoms up!

Come on! Cheers!

Come on. Have a seat. Let's eat.

Let me fill your cups.

Drink as much as you want.

Come on.

Fill your cups. Eat something.

The Wood Hall

-Master. -Master.

Fushui,

you saved my life this time.

I'll pay you back

in the future.

I've brought someone here.

I wish you can meet him.

He...

He is your relative?

I've already known about the truth

since I brought him here.

Your wife and children have all died.

Your grandson is your only family.

You don't dare to meet him 'cause you don't want to get him involved.

I understand that.

This kid lives in a foster family.

I never went to see him.

I also asked someone I trust

to send him money for his monthly expenses.

Why is he here with you?

You're wanted everywhere in this city.

Your trusted fellow's also been arrested.

He confessed 'cause he couldn't stand the torture.

Luckily, I was informed in time

and took this kid away

from his foster family.

He is the last descendent

of our Hong family.

I owe you so much.

The Wood Hall

Please allow me

to bow to you with great respect.

One good turn deserves another.

Commander Hong,

I hope you can do me a favor.

Directress Fu deserves all the credit for helping me

survive the trip to the Great Mount Cang.

Reward her.

Her Majesty said that

Directress Fu's salary will be doubled from now on.

You're the first to get this among all

court ladies in our times.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, your lunch is ready.

It's boring to eat alone.

Directress Fu, eat with me then.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I was so scared

by the tiger that I didn't watch my step

and fell into the river.

I was then saved by a merchant ship passing by.

I got a cold from this.

So, my head always felt heavy.

By the time I woke up again,

the ship had already arrived in Canton.

You traveled by water.

No wonder we didn't hear from you.

I was really worried about you.

Sorry to let you worry about me.

Now eat.

Yes.

We both like eating vegetables.

Sheng Chumu likes eating meat, right?

You disappeared in the Great Mount Cang

but showed up in Canton.

Sheng Chumu disappeared at the same time.

When his family came and asked to take a leave for him,

they just gave me an equivocal excuse.

I thought you were already dead

at that time.

I didn't think about this.

But you came back alive.

Sitting here, eating, absent-minded.

I can tell from your face

that you're so reluctant and regretful.

How would I rule over this Palace

if I still couldn't figure out you were actually

taken away by Sheng Chumu?

It's all my fault.

It has nothing to do with Sheng Chumu.

You can punish me.

Guards.

This is a free pass.

You can go freely into and out of the Palace

whenever you like without any restrictions.

Take it.

But...

But,

Your Majesty,

why don't you blame me?

You've saved me, the Grand Emperor, and King Liang.

You were chased by a tiger and fell into the river.

You were then saved by some merchants.

You've contributed a lot and haven't made any mistakes.

Why should I blame you?

But...

Sheng Chumu...

He has nothing to do with this.

If anyone asks you about this,

you can reply to them with this answer.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Right then.

Off you go.

Yes, Your Majesty.

May I ask, Your Majesty,

why did you forgive me?

I forgave a lot of people.

Most of them were just grateful.

Some of them even chuckled to themselves secretly.

Only you

dared to turn around and asked me why.

Please tell me.

You saved me.

If anything

had gone wrong with King Liang that day,

the Grand Emperor would be heartbroken.

Then his health condition would deteriorate.

You not only saved me

but also saved the Grand Emperor

so that His Majesty and I

can still be filial to the Grand Emperor.

So, I want to return you

a favor today.

Who are you?

I'm Fushui.

I've always heard about you.

I want to make friends with you, General.

What do you want?

You've just met me.

It's natural that you

are wary of me.

So, I brought you a gift.

Hope you can take it.

A gift?

Yes.

A great gift from a new friend.

But that is huge.

This is such a great achievement.

Maybe you can get promoted by three ranks.

That's not the most important.

What matters is that

Lu Yunji can lose his life because of this.

He's just a rebel.

How could the Duke die for it?

He colluded with the Lu family.

Lu Yunji has deceived Their Majesties.

He will surely die this time.

Then you'll get even with him

for your parents.

Duke of Cai's Mansion

What do you want?

I'm here to see Young General Lu.

Young Master hasn't come back yet.

Who are you?

You don't get to see our master whenever you like.

I work for Young General Lu.

I can't stay here for long.

Please give this letter to Young General for me.

If you're still here to persuade me to go,

please don't waste your time anymore.

You don't leave 'cause you want to take revenge for your mother?

Or you just can't bear to leave Lu Qi?

You've changed so much that I don't know you anymore.

Who hasn't changed?

You used to be

straightforward

and couldn't keep any secrets.

Now

you also pretend to

be loyal to Lu Yunji every day.

Ask someone to send me a letter

if you are in any danger.

Brother,

have you told our family

about me?

I don't know how to tell them.

Then don't say anything.

Just tell them

I am returning Mother's favor for bringing me up.

Okay.

You only stay with Lu Qi because of Mom.

Don't forget that.

Lady Fu.

Lady Fu.

Why did you sneak in here again?

Aren't you afraid of getting caught?

My elder brother has gone missing.

We lost touch with him

ever since he went looking for you in the Great Mount Cang.

Do you know where he is?

Chumu is...

Directress Fu.

-Your Royal Highness. -Your Royal Highness.

You're the guard in the Eastern Palace.

What are you doing here?

Send my order.

Your Royal Highness.

He didn't mean to do anything.

He was just asking me some questions.

What questions?

I wanted to ask Directress Fu

about the whereabouts of my brother.

You don't even know that yourself.

How could Directress Fu know?

I don't know, either.

I just hope

he can come back safely.

Did you hear her? She doesn't know.

Now leave!

Yes.

You only managed to deal with Her Majesty

after you came out from the Hall of Joy.

Remember.

Never tell anyone about you and Sheng Chumu.

Otherwise, you will not only ruin yourself,

but also Sheng Chumu.

Jasmine.

Jasmine.

Have you cleaned up the study?

Yes.

I...I'll go boil some water.

Go on then.

Someone's sent Young Master a letter.

Leave it on the table.

Yes.

To Master Lu

You've got so many letters.

Why do you read this first?

Look.

To Master Lu

This is

the mark for emergencies in the troop.

It must be something urgent

if it is labeled with this mark.

Yan Zifang has got Hong Yide.

Do something immediately, Master.

Otherwise, we'll be doomed.

Why hasn't Young Master come back?

I don't know.

Lu Qi is the mastermind behind this.

You only stay with Lu Qi because of Mom.

Don't forget that.

Yin,

I have

brought you a nice gift.

This is

a beauty cream popular in Chang'an right now.

I heard that

Queen Han loved this a lot.

King Han's almost bought up its inventory.

I tried so hard to get one.

Just let you try it.

Master,

I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

Why are you crying?

I don't deserve you being so good to me.

You're a silly girl

when you're pregnant.

Cao Yuan has confessed that

he gave away the route after he was drunk.

That's why the fleet was ambushed.

Your Majesty,

Cao Yuan received some severe punishments in the prison.

Is there anything that one won't confess

under heavy punishments?

His confession might be questionable.

What about Fan Zhang?

Fan Zhang insisted that he never associated with Hong Yide.

But it was indeed Hong's writing

on the letters we found in his study.

Fan Zhang

has worked for me for many years.

It might not be as simple as that.

King Zhou, you keep investigating.

Remember.

Fan Zhang has made many contributions.

Don't torture him.

Yes.

I am so shocked by

such things happening among the Imperial Guards.

Now Fan and Cao are both involved in such great crimes,

who else can I trust with official duties?

Your Majesty，

Zhong Yutang is quite skilled and decisive.

Your Majesty,

I have a report to offer.

Zhong Yutang was impeached by a censor-in-chief

for being an alcoholic and womanizer and leading a life of debauchery.

His mother died last year.

He even took a concubine

during the mourning.

Present the report to me.

Unfilial and immoral.

I can't use him.

Given this situation, I think

I might as well rely on myself.

You're wise, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

we've found out that

Hong Yide was the mastermind of the Great Mount Cang case.

But according to the report of Duke of Cai at that time,

he had already killed Hong Yide.

Your Majesty,

I indeed found a body

in the battlefield

which looked extremely like Hong.

I was convinced that Hong was dead

by the armor, the clothes,

and the waist token on the body,

as well as the confirmation of Hong's escorts that were captivated.

Now it seems that

this traitor was just fooling me into

believing he was dead.

Who's gonna buy your story?

Your Majesty,

clearly, Lu Yuji was greedy for achievements

in order to deceive you

so that he could get promoted and make a fortune.

King Liang.

Your Majesty.

I'm wronged.

You've dealt with Hong Yide yourself.

He is a sly old devil.

Yunji,

are you getting old and confused?

You reported to the court

without even recognizing his body!

Your Majesty,

he did recognize it correctly.

He was just colluding with Hong Yide.

Lu Yuji was bribed by Hong Yide

and let him off the hook,

which then caused the crime in the Great Mount Cang.

Your Majesty,

Yan Zifang is slandering my family!

Your Majesty,

there're some grudges between Yan and Duke of Cai.

We can't take his words for it.

I've got Hong Yide as the witness.

You've got Hong Yide?

Yes.

Hong told me himself that

Duke of Cai was his accomplice.

Your Majesty,

Hong and I have been archenemies for years in the war.

He loathes me.

He was just sowing discord

and trying to plot against me!

What is true cannot be untrue.

What is false can only be false.

Send my order.

Take Lu Yunji and Lu Qi

away.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Brother.

Brother.

What's wrong with you today?

I should be the one asking.

Why didn't you argue for me just now?

His Majesty was so pissed off.

He wouldn't listen to me even if I did.

You're his favorite son.

You've recruited more talents in the Literature Pavilion than I have.

Anything from you

would be ten times better than from them.

I mean...

You were scolded by His Majesty. Why did you vent on me?

Hey!

"Lust befuddles the mind."

I've told you.

Don't take any gift from Duke of Cai.

You just never listen.

You even defended him

on the court today.

If he is ever found to be guilty...

I'm not feeling well.

I need to get some rest.

You can leave now.

You...

What sort of Crown Prince am I?

Father said I wasn't good enough.

Mother scolded me.

Now even Zhan Zhixuan

dares to tell me off.

I only thought you were trouble

when you were alive.

Now you are dead

but I wish you could come back to life every day.

Chen Ji,

I've never mentioned a thing about you to Dad.

The grave of Chen Ji, my friend

I didn't know he would report you to His Majesty.

But the Crown Prince

just never believed me.

I used to

hope I could be his good wife

and be loved back by him.

But now,

I don't dare to dream about that.

No matter how cold he is to me,

or how lonely I am,

I can stand all that.

I just hope you can bless him

so that he can

have a big laugh occasionally

like he used to.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Call the doctor.

Yes.

Hurry up!

My wife.

The Hall of Grace

My son.

Mother.

How is it going?

I don't know.

Your Royal Highness.

How is she?

Her Royal Highness isn't well.

Do we save her or her child?

Your Royal Highness, do think carefully.

Can't you save both as imperial physicians?

We don't really have good treatments

for emergencies during the labor.

Your Royal Highness,

just make your decision.

Her Royal Highness can't afford to wait any longer.

Her son is our top priority.

Mom.

I do hope the Crown Princess can stay safe.

But you need to be clear

about what matters most.

Save the child.

Yes.

Your Royal Highness.

Her Royal Highness will die if you only save the child.

Your Royal Highness,

please have some mercy

and save her.

How dare you!

Take her away.

Yes.

Guards.

Don't we have any other way?

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness.

Please save her, Your Royal Highness.

I have an idea.

Maybe we can give it a go.

What is it?

The patient will push harder at a sudden fright.

That way the child might be able to get out.

Will it work?

I only heard about this.

Not sure if it works.

It will. It will work.

Your Royal Highness,

just try it for the Crown Princess.

Mother,

let's give it go.

Maybe the Crown Princess is blessed.

Just give it a go, then.

What do we do?

Her Royal Highness cares about His Royal Highness the most.

Then His Royal Highness shall be there for her in person.

Push harder!

Your Royal Highness.

Harder. Take a deep breath. Try harder.

Take a deep breath.

Try harder, Your Royal Highness.

Push harder.

Harder.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Try harder. Harder

-Hold your breath. -Don't say so, Your Royal Highness.

Push harder.

Harder.

Nearly there.

Your Royal Highness.

-Try harder. -Hang in there, Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Try harder, Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Hang in there.

Push harder.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Darling,

I might let you down.

My sweetheart,

don't sound so bleak.

We're gonna get old together.

Your Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness.

Darling.

Darling, someone's behind you.

Darling. Darling.

Your Royal Highness. Your Royal Highness.

The Hall of Grace

She made it! She made it!

Everything was just right with the sudden push

of Her Royal Highness.

Congratulations, Your Majesty

and Your Royal Highness.

The mom and the child are both safe.

It is a boy.

A chubby little prince!

I finally have a grandson!

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Congratulations, Your Royal Highness!

You have a son!

Reward them.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Come on.

Your Royal Highness, you've given birth to a son.

It's a little prince.

Where's my husband?

-How is he? -Darling.

Darling.

I'm fine.

That was due to expediency.

Sorry to give you such a shock.

Everything will be fine.

You've suffered a lot.

Your Royal Highness,

this is the little prince.

Give him to me.

Darling.

This is our son.

Look, he's smiling to Your Majesty.

Look

how pleased His Majesty is.

It's great that Father has got a grandson.

Today is the family banquet.

There's also going to be a formal ceremony.

I'm wondering who is going to arrange that.

King Zhou is busy with the case of Dali Temple Prison.

You also want to undertake this job?

Not really.

I'd like to recommend someone.

Who is it?

King Han.

Father,

I'm preoccupied with the stuff

at the Literature Pavilion.

A study of ancient rites is necessary for holding rituals and ceremonies now.

We do need those well-learned talents at the Literature Pavilion.

King Han will be so fit for this job.

Exactly, Consort Yan.

I'll leave this

to King Han, then.

I got it, Father.

The Crown Prince.

Ask the Crown Princess to get some good rest.

I have a grandson.

She's made a great contribution.

Thank you, Father.

Darling,

someone's also made a contribution.

Who is it?

Directress Fu offered a solution during the emergency

so that the Crown Princess and her child were saved.

Directress Fu,

you've made many contributions.

How should I reward you?

Your Majesty, if you

really want to reward me,

may I suggest something myself?

Go ahead.

There are massive gang activities on Lion Mountain in Guangxi province.

Families are broken because of this.

Please send some forces there to crack them down

so that people can return to their homes and live peacefully.

How do you there are massive gang activities there?

During my trip,

I came across an old man and his grandson.

They told me about it.

Directress Fu has seen and heard a lot

during her trip this time.

You never mentioned them to me.

You're the Emperor.

I shall not say anything without your order.

Right.

I know what I should reward you.

You're a directress.

Then I will give you the power to speak.

You can say anything

in front of me from now on.

His Majesty treats you specially.

You should thank him.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Now get up.

Yes.

Father is tolerant than anyone else.

Please allow me to make a toast

for having such a wise emperor in our country.

Listen.

This country not only needs a wise emperor

but also a sharp and mature Crown Prince.

Do you understand?

Yes, Father.

Alright.

To the prosperity of our country.

Cheers!

Lunchtime.

Lunchtime.

Let's go.

They are locked up now.

They still got good food like this?

The Lu family are the old acquaintances

of King Liang.

Nonsense.

Not true anymore.

The Lu family has offended King Liang.

King Liang has ordered today

that no one from their family shall visit them.

Let's wait and see.

King Liang will surely give them a hard time

during the investigation.

Then...

Didn't you just say "lunchtime"?

Bring them over here.

Where are you going?

-I'm talking to you! -Enough.

Stop shouting.

Everyone kicks us when we're down.

Just grow up.

Father.

I...

When I get out,

I will teach them a lesson.

Get out?

It might have been possible

if you hadn't offended King Liang.

But now,

our family are just doomed.

His Lordship was getting involved with the rebel.

The whole clan might be purged.

We might as well seek a way out for ourselves.

For real?

It's true.

What are you muttering about?

Go do your work.

Don't listen to those blabbermouths.

The rebel they mentioned

is Hong Yide?

Yes.

After he was arrested,

he insisted that His Lordship was his accomplice.

There hadn't been any warnings of that.

His Lordship

was completely caught off guard this time.

Lady Yin,

if Lu's cousin were still alive,

at least he could

try to help save Father and Brother.

Did you foresee the current situation

the day you killed him?

You're here

just to blame me?

I'm here

to see my future nephew.

Good boy,

don't be afraid.

You've still got me.

I won't let you come to this world

without having your father and grandfather.

Come on.

Come on.

With Hong Yide as the witness,

Lu Yuji and his son are done this time.

You've finally taken revenge, Sir.

How cheerful!

Come on. Another cup.

Come on.

Here we go.

Hainiu,

eat more.

Let's drink. Come on.

That's wonderful.

I want to save my father and brother.

I've told you.

We don't have any connections anymore.

I won't care about your business.

That's right.

You've already ended this all

with just a bottle of pills.

No matter what an awful past one has,

or how cruel he becomes after everything he went through,

there's always a soft place in his heart.

I was too naive to believe

that I could

find that place for you.

Yeah.

You're naive.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Nor with believing in a man's good nature.

This world is brighter

in my eyes than in yours.

Yan Zifang,

you're pathetic.

You can leave now.

Yes.

Your Royal Highness.

Sister.

Lingwei, come and sit next to me.

Let me have a look.

Look at you. Why are you so thin now?

Sister.

I thought you would never forgive me.

It was my fault.

I wasn't in a good mood those days.

Sorry to treat you badly.

Your Royal Highness,

Lady Lingshu kowtowed every ten steps

on her way to the Temple of Bliss to pray to the Buddha for you.

Just drop it.

I was useless.

I didn't even get an amulet for you.

Luckily,

someone's given me a treasure.

It's so useful.

What is it?

Que.

Well...

His Royal Highness is back.

You're here, Lingwei.

Your Royal Highness.

Save the formalities.

You need to stay with your sister more often.

She's suffered a lot.

Que.

Que.

Que.

Look at your mom.

Que.

You drank today?

That was so delightful.

My father wants you to take some good rest.

There will be a ceremony soon.

His Majesty ordered King Han to prepare it.

But he seemed quite unhappy about it.

Never mind. Let's not talk about him.

Que.

-Let me have a look. -Que.

He's got such a straight nose.

Que.

Don't drink that much if you're a lightweight!

Water.

Water.

There you go.

Leave now.

Darling,

I didn't ask to drink myself.

The Crown Prince forced me.

I don't why.

He doesn't see eye to eye with me recently.

What for?

Why are you looking at me?

We've been married for so long.

I'm just a worn-out housewife.

My darling.

If you were a worn-out housewife,

then I would be a worn-out househusband.

You're too drunk.

Now just lay down.

Don't leave me.

I want you to pamper me to sleep.

Alright. Alright.

Now sleep.

You woke up?

I've slept for so long.

Come on.

Do you have a headache?

Does your head still ache?

Not really.

Darling,

what are you embroidering?

Come on, darling,

let me have a look.

This is...

a pomegranate.

It symbolizes a lot of children.

You want a child, then?

It hasn't been long since the Crown Princess got married.

She's already got a son.

Compared with her...

Darling,

there's no use comparing like this.

But Her Majesty has already been dissatisfied

with me 'cause I still haven't borne a child.

I also feel that

I owe you.

Darling,

you're still young

and I'm still fit.

Why the hurry?

I only worry about two things at the moment.

One is to bear a son for you.

The second

is about Chumu. I'm always worried about him.

I knew you would mention him.

Look at him.

He went looking for Directress Fu alone

but ended up getting lost himself.

Now Directress Fu is back.

But he still hasn't shown up.

Don't worry, darling.

Chumu is a clever boy.

He will be fine.

Come on.

Let's make this embroidery of

One Hundred Children together.

King Han's Mansion

Wine.

My wine.

Wine.

Wine.

Wine.

Who the hell is this drunk?

He stinks.

It's Young Master.

Young Master.

Come on.

I want wine.

Be careful.

I need wine.

-Come on. -Wine.

After the top dancer Lianyan

left the Yanhui House,

they've finally invited a stunning beauty

from the south to here with a lot of money.

Tonight,

this new beauty

will be dancing for the very first time.

Let's see who's gonna

win her heart.

With King Liang here,

who else is gonna win

the beauty's heart?

Since you say so,

I think

I do need to

hit on this beauty from the south.

She has a great figure.

She's extraordinary, indeed.

Bravo! Bravo!

Good! Good!

Come here, Miss!

Come here!

Look at me, Miss!

Oh, piss off!

Come on. Let's drink!

Beauty,

drink with me.

Why are you on your knees?

I'm here to apologize, Your Royal Highness.

What have you done wrong?

I met you once on the street in Chang'an.

I mentioned you to my father and brother when I went back home.

I told them you are so handsome

and I was really attracted to you.

But I was too shy to

tell them who you are.

I made a mistake because I was too shy.
