Court Lady

Ep46

You poisoned Sun Lingwei, didn't you？

Nonsense!

The last person to handle the cakes

was none other

than yourself.

Your Highness.

Here are the date cakes from King Han's Mansion.

Throw them away.

Anything from King Han's Mansion shall be thrown away.

Yes.

I'll take that.

Why are you taking it out on food?

Was...Was it you?

We were the only ones there.

If I want to blame it on you,

you won't be able to justify yourself.

You monster!

Now that it's come to this,

Your Highness,

don't fight anymore.

Shut up!

Your Highness.

You need to be smart.

I have my secrets.

You have things that you won't explain well.

Let's all keep those to ourselves.

We'll all be better off that way.

Shuangxi.

Why are you here?

I...

Shuangxi.

You heard it yourself

how I was threatened,

framed,

and coerced.

Shuangxi, you know that

I am in a dilemma.

You heard Fushui say that he won't let me off.

Do you understand?

Shuangxi.

You know I care for Lingwei the most.

Your Highness.

Your hands are cold.

I'll get you some hot tea.

Okay.

Wait!

Shuangxi!

Shuangxi.

Thank god I didn't lose it.

Go after her!

Stop there.

Come on.

Stop there!

Stop!

Shuangxi.

Don't run.

What's wrong, Shuangxi?

Go to the Sun residence

and tell the master and the mistress

that Queen Han was wronged.

Fushui poisoned the cakes.

Say it again.

It was Fushui!

Over there.

Hurry.

Fushui did it!

Not Queen Han.

Queen Han was innocent.

Queen Han didn't do it.

She was framed.

Bastard!

Stealing and lying.

Fushui did it.

It was Fushui.

Take this lying maid

away.

Yes.

I wasn't lying. I wasn't lying!

Go.

I didn't lie.

It was Fushui. Fushui did it.

Not Queen Han.

Queen Han was innocent.

She's been serving me for years.

I didn't expect her to be so ungrateful.

Sheng Chujun.

You don't believe her lies, do you?

I, Sheng Chujun, have been a playboy for years.

In the end, I fell for Sun Lingwei.

I rectified myself for her.

I wanted to spend my life with her.

I know.

If I keep playing dumb,

I may still have a chance.

But I'm done with that.

I don't want to do it anymore.

I don't care if I get to walk out of here alive.

What matters is that now I know

the truth and the murderer.

If you want me to pretend I knew nothing and leave,

I can't do it.

Fushui, get out!

Sheng Chujun attempted to kill Her Highness.

Kill him.

Kill him!

I've work things out with my family.

Mother agreed to our marriage.

My sister agreed to help me.

Too much love or hate

can turn someone

into a reckless lunatic.

Your Highness.

Thank you.

You didn't let Lingwei down.

My queen was wrongfully executed.

Now they want to seize me.

Mother.

Are you seeing this?

It's not me that

doesn't value our bonds of brotherhood.

It is him.

He is coming after me.

Rest assured.

Chujun has found out about their plan.

I will take care of it.

Chujun?

I remember that

all he did was drinking and making trouble.

Who'd have thought?

He can now be entrusted with such an important task.

Chumu.

Don't mind me.

Give me some time alone

to think about my mother.

What happened?

I caught Shuangxi stealing.

Who'd have thought she'd go to Sheng Chujun for help?

To make Sheng Chujun believe her,

she even lied and said...

Did Chujun believe her?

He...

He did. He thought

we killed Lingwei and made Queen Han the scapegoat.

Then he wanted to kill us.

The guards killed him

to protect us.

Your Highness?

When the horse was coming at you,

Sheng Chujun saved you

regardless of his own safety.

I thought highly of him.

But he believed such a ridiculous lie.

He was such a stupid man.

I don't feel sorry for his death.

My love.

Don't blame yourself.

Your Highness.

Will his death

affect your plan for tomorrow?

The guards here

were selected by Fushui himself.

They're loyal and trustworthy.

They will keep it to themselves about tonight.

It's late.

You should go back.

But Your Highness...

I need to discuss something with Fushui.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I'll escort His Highness back myself

when we are done.

Didn't you say you have something to attend to?

Right.

I need to deal with some chores.

Your Highness.

I'll go back now.

Your Highness, what do you want to discuss?

Play chess with me.

I've taught you for so long.

But you still stink.

I did it on purpose.

Only if I'm bad at this

will Your Highness continue to teach me.

Even you're acting in front of me.

Was the Crown Princess telling the truth?

I trust you the most.

Don't lie to me.

Yes.

Your Highness.

Her Highness is considerate of you.

Here.

One more drink with me.

Your Highness.

I'll be drunk if I drink more.

So what?

I won't take advantage of you.

One more.

You're in a good mood today, Your Highness.

You look excited.

The saying goes,

"Once the bird flies, it will soar into the sky."

I've been down on my luck

ever since Father died.

But everything will work out soon.

Fushui told me...

What did he say?

He said that

the Crown Prince thinks highly of me,

and I will be blessed with a great fortune

as his uncle.

You're my queen.

You will be blessed as well.

We'll have tons of glorious days ahead.

I've described you such a bright future.

Why aren't you excited?

I am the daughter of a duke,

and I'm married to Your Highness.

I've been enjoying wealth for my whole life.

I don't care about

those glorious days

and the bright future.

What do you care, then?

Tell me.

When I am promoted,

I'll get the stars for you

if those are what you care about.

I care about...

What?

I care about Your Highness.

Really?

And my father.

My brother.

I care about a lot of people around me.

I don't wish for anyone to get rich or promoted.

I don't care if they're in power.

I just hope that everyone can live a peaceful life.

My queen.

You care about too many people.

Can you just care about me?

You said you want everyone to live peacefully.

Does that include that man you loved?

Are you still thinking about him?

You mentioned him again.

Do you want to flog me one more time?

We've agreed not to talk about the past.

You did it first.

Fine.

I will keep my word

and not mention the past ever again.

But you have to do the same.

Stop saying I mistreated you in the past.

Come on.

Cheers.

It's not healthy to drink on an empty stomach.

I made some duck feet.

I'll bring it for you to go with the drink.

Okay.

Remember.

It has to be delivered at noon tomorrow.

Not a minute early,

nor a minute late.

Why?

This letter will only be most effective

when delivered at the perfect timing.

Boss.

Ever since you met Fushui,

you've been talking in codes.

Just remember.

If this is done nicely,

I promise that you'll be swimming in money.

Understood.

Boss.

You hate King Liang?

Who told you that?

You were speaking ill of him in the letter.

That he was behind all the evil deeds.

It's obvious that you hate his guts.

Those in the know

understand it's because he took your eagle king.

Those who don't know better

will think he took your lady.

Get out.

I'll go, then.

Boss.

I want to say one more thing.

Spill.

When this is over,

don't associate yourself with Fushui anymore.

What do you mean?

Fushui is someone

who's scheming and ruthless.

He plays nice to your face

and stabs you in the back.

He's the real pirate.

If you befriend people like him,

you're digging your own grave.

You done?

Yeah.

Get out.

I'll deliver the letter.

I'm feeling unsettled

for no reason.

Tell me some jokes

to help me relax.

Let's call off tomorrow's plan.

If we make any mistakes, we'll lose everything.

What did you say?

Lose everything?

I was talking about the game.

You're losing.

You are.

See?

Your dragon is going down.

Yeah, going down.

Shuangxi drowned in a well?

The death of a maid

shall be reported to the six services.

So the Eastern Palace sent someone to tell us.

When I was on my way here this morning,

I overheard the murmur of an attendant in the Palace of Valor.

He said the Eastern Palace was in chaos last night.

Yes.

The Palace of Valor is next to the Eastern Palace.

They can hear everything

in the Eastern Palace.

His Majesty just left Chang'an.

We should be cautious about everything.

Let's go to the Eastern Palace.

The Gate of Bliss

I will go straight to the Palace with King Liang

and seize the center.

Lu Qi, Hou Chang, and Yan Zifang

will watch the gates and the officials' residences.

As for the Crown Princess and my son,

I'll entrust you with them.

Yes.

You look so worried.

Cheer up.

Your Highness.

I am grateful to have met you.

But bringing chaos to your family is the only way

for me to avenge my ancestors.

She was just a maid.

You didn't need to come in person.

If you do everything yourself,

will you have any spare time?

Shuangxi came to the Palace with you

when you got married.

She was not just some maid.

It's my duty to pay a visit.

Your Highness.

Don't be too sad.

How can I not?

After all, she'd served me for so many years.

What are you looking at?

You injured your face.

Que scratched my face yesterday.

It's nothing serious.

Que?

He was taken to the Palace yesterday.

Consort Dowager Wang loves kids.

So she kept him there to stay the night.

He should be in the Palace of Bliss.

Yes.

He was acting mischievously when we were

on the way there.

Then, he scratched me.

Since your face is injured, don't apply any makeup.

Although it can conceal the wound,

it's bad for healing.

By the way,

how did

Shuangxi die?

Maybe she didn't see the well

and fell in when she was passing by.

It doesn't make sense.

Shuangxi had been here for a long time.

She should've known where the wells are located.

Matron Fu.

Are you here to console me

or interrogate me?

I am sorry.

I just find it weird.

I didn't know that

the Palace Etiquette Service also investigate cases.

Your Highness is right.

We don't investigate cases.

But if a maid died mysteriously,

we should hand the documents

over to Attendant Cao at the Housekeeping Service.

He will investigate the case.

The six services will be of assistance.

Bastard.

You're so clumsy.

Leave.

Your Highness.

Okay.

Leave.

Yes.

Have some rest here.

I'll be right back.

Why is Matron Fu in the Eastern Palace?

She learned about Shuangxi's death

and came to visit me.

Is she suspicious of us?

I don't know.

But she asked about my wound.

I brushed her off.

I heard that Matron Fu

was close to Queen Han.

She was introduced in the Palace by Queen Han.

When the late Empress ordered to execute Queen Han,

she wanted to talk her out of it.

His Highness is not here today.

I'll get rid of King Han for His Highness.

Your Highness.

You need to

keep everything here in order for His Highness.

How?

Sound her out.

If she doesn't find anything suspicious,

ask her to leave.

What if she figures things out?

Then keep her here.

Don't let her send any warnings to King Han.

The attendant said it was chaotic here last night.

Why don't you ask Her Highness about it?

I can't.

It doesn't feel right here.

How?

Her Highness looks weird.

Besides,

we've been here for only a while,

and yet the guards have walked past the door twice.

They are all holding the handles of their swords

as if they're on standby to draw.

Something big

will happen today.

Matron Fu.

Let's leave.

We can't.

If we show that we're worried,

they'll try to keep us here.

Be calm.

What are you talking about?

What's wrong with her?

She doesn't look well.

You!

You shouldn't have eaten those leftover buns.

You wouldn't listen to me.

Now you've embarrassed yourself in front of Her Highness.

Yes.

I had two leftover buns in the morning

and my stomach feels funny.

Please forgive me, Your Highness.

Everyone has some ailments sometimes.

I totally understand.

Chunying.

Yes.

Take her to have some rest.

Yes.

Matron Fu, please sit.

Such a troublemaker.

Can't do anything right.

These servants around me

are all useless.

Take Shuangxi, for example,

I thought she could be of great help

to assist me in chores.

I didn't expect

her to drop dead.

If you want to take this to the Housekeeping Service

and ask them to make a case out of it,

I won't look good.

Your Highness, you misunderstood me.

I've made myself clear.

Only a mysterious death

should be taken over by the Housekeeping Service.

Shuangxi fell into the well.

It is such a pity for sure.

But the whole thing was clear.

We don't need to waste time by bothering the Housekeeping Service.

You are right.

Are you in a hurry for something?

No.

By the way, I want to report to Your Highness

on some matters regarding the Palace Etiquette Service.

Is this

going to be handed to the Crown Prince?

Yes.

It can only be archived

after he has reviewed it.

The Crown Prince looks very energetic today.

Yes.

Ever since His Highness became a cripple,

he had been putting on a long face.

But after he began overseeing the country,

he has been kind to everyone.

So, power is something

enjoyed by everyone.

With power,

people can change completely.

Everyone loves power.

Will it change people for the better

or make people lose themselves?

Brother.

It's time?

It's time.

Let's go then.

Every day at this hour,

King Han goes back home.

He developed this habit

when Queen Han was alive.

Now Queen Han is gone,

but he still can't change it.

Jisun Chenxin and others

are standing by along his way back.

The poisoned cakes...

King Han didn't do it.

What?

He didn't?

You mean King Han wasn't planning on killing you?

This isn't what Fushui said.

Why are you saying this

at this critical point?

Forget it.

Whether there is injustice,

Queen Han is already dead.

King Han is also arrogant and disrespectful.

Just leave it at that.

Brother.

Don't be soft.

King Han

must be taken down today.

Your Highness.

Are you going back?

You know me.

I've never liked food from the Palace Catering Service

but I can't stay hungry.

It's already late.

I need to go home for some food.

You haven't changed at all.

You care about nothing

but food.

I remember when you were nine,

you ate three roast chicken in one go

and got too full to stay seated.

Mother was so worried.

I could eat a lot when I was young.

But I can't do it now.

I can barely eat two,

let alone three.

How nice it would be

if we didn't have to grow up

and could stay nine,

living a carefree life!

Alright.

I'm hungry.

Your Highness.

I'm leaving now.

My brother.

Go.

Attendant Yu asked me to tell you that

a wise man foresees and mitigates risks.

Before everything is settled,

find an excuse

and leave the Eastern Palace.

I see.

Brother.

The Crown Prince just called me "my brother".

He hasn't done that in a long time.

So what?

He still didn't stop you.

Remember,

he also said a word after calling you "my brother".

"Go."

"Go."

Go.

The monthly expenses of the Eastern Palace

have been increasing

for the past three years.

Last year,

His Majesty removed

the limitation of resources used by the Crown Prince.

So...

Your Highness.

Are you tired?

I'm not tired.

But I already knew about

the things you mentioned.

It's getting late.

I forgot the time.

-Your Highness. -Your Highness.

You must have a lot to do at the Palace Etiquette Service.

Go ahead.

Yes, Your Highness.

Thank you for coming here yourself.

That's kind of you, Your Highness.

This is my duty.

Chunying, see Matron Fu off.

The Hall of Grace

A dead body!

A dead body!

Something went wrong.

Your Highness.

Leave it.

Keep walking.

It's Young Master Sheng.

He died in a box.

Really.

He died in a box.

What do you want?

Shield wall formation!

Protect King Han!

He's fake.

Crap. It's a trap.

Want to leave? It's too late.

I am useless.

I failed my master.

Take him!

You haven't made a confession yet.

You want to die this much?

Confession?

You wish!

You knew King Zhao would rebel.

Upon losing the city, you requested 3,000 elites,

saying it's a way out for King Zhao.

Yet you ran away.

You attacked the camp, and I returned in time.

You ran away again when things weren't good.

Jisun Chenxin.

We both know very well

how much you cherish your life.

You...

Stop acting.

Take him away.

-Move. -Move.

Alright.

I hope you guys

can achieve success.

I gotta go now.

See you.

If I were you,

I wouldn't go to the city gate.

What do you mean?

The Crown Prince is losing.

We don't need to die with him.

Yan Zifang, how dare you curse...

Yan Zifang!

Even if you kill me,

the situation won't change.

His Majesty received a letter about the Crown Prince's scheme.

The main forces must be on their way back to Chang'an.

Only a couple of people know about the Crown Prince's plan.

Who would write to His Majesty?

It's me, of course.

Yan Zifang, you're a traitor.

I betrayed the Crown Prince,

but I also saved your life.

If you don't want to die,

leave Chang'an right away.

Why are you saving me?

I want Lu Yingying.

Lady Yin went crazy and was locked up?

Lower your voice.

If Young Master finds out, you'll be in trouble.

I only tell you this because

Young Master trusts you.

Young Master is back.

Duke of Cai's Mansion

I am leaving Chang'an.

Burn all the letters in the house.

Leave nothing.

Yes, Young General.

How about Lady Yin...

Right.

There's her.

This is between her and me.

We can solve it ourselves.

Wait here.

You are finally here.

Are you waiting for me?

Yes.

I'm waiting for you.

Waiting for you to end all these.

End my misery

and your misery.

You know what?

From the first day I came here,

I have been living in pain every day.

What I want the most now

is complete closure.

Fine.

I can give you

what you want.

No.

Don't!

How many times?

How many times are you going to

play me like this?

Didn't you say you hate me and want to kill me?

Isn't Du Ning, who is already dead,

the man you love the most?

What do you think I am?

Now, to beg for your life,

you even hugged me.

You even hugged me.

Bitch!

Xi Tao.

Take this woman away.

Me?

Where?

Anywhere! Anywhere is fine!

As long as it's not Chang'an.

Any village or town is fine!

I'm not leaving.

I want to see my child.

You don't deserve to see him.

You've never wanted to give birth to him.

You don't deserve it!

Xi Tao.

Take her away.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Your Highness.

General Yan wants to see you.

Tell him that

His Highness is not here.

General Yan said he knew he is in the Palace.

That's why he is here to see you.

He has something important to say.

Let him in.

Yes, ma'am.

Your Highness.

Say what you want.

Leave us.

Yes, ma'am.

Yingying.

You know what?

Your cold look

is so attractive.

Yan Zifang.

I am now Queen Liang.

If you dare to be rude again,

I'll let them break your legs.

Do you have the heart to do that?

Tears of pearl filled half palm.

Yingying shall never regret it.

Shut up.

You are right.

I am a coward.

All I wanted was revenge.

I let the chance to have love slip.

But at least I regret it now.

Regret?

Is this the important thing you want to say to me?

I have two important things.

First,

I want to be with you.

You wish!

Second,

Lu Qi is in trouble.

What did you say?

The Crown Prince and King Han's forces

are fighting in Chang'an.

Lu Qi was defeated by Sheng Chumu

and fell off the horse.

He was badly injured.

I...

Luckily, I arrived in time

and saved him.

If you want to see him,

you have to come with me.

You hate my family so much,

yet you saved my brother?

I don't believe you.

This is his token and his letter.

You must recognize

your brother's writing.

Where is he now?

Send him here.

I can give him the best care possible.

King Liang took away all the guards in this house.

Chang'an is in chaos now.

If someone wants to fish in troubled waters,

will this house be safe?

The only way to see him

is to come with me.
