Court Lady

Ep49

I'm going to visit my parents.

Excuse me.

Why are you here?

I heard that Your Highness wanted to have a few drinks.

I'm interested, so here I am.

May I have the honor to join Your Highness?

I'm interested in drinking with Matron Fu,

not you.

She said the exact same thing about karma

to me last night.

What a long night.

But I had a beauty by my side.

Whatever she says sounds so pleasant.

Who is it?

It's me.

You?

The Imperial Academy of Medicine

- Come on. - Congratulations, Doctor Yan.

Let's make a toast to Doctor Yan.

Thank you all.

Doctor Yan,

- thanks to you, - Let me pour you another.

Consort Yan finally woke up.

Indeed.

But what's more impressive is that

after being rewarded,

Doctor Yan even spoke well of us in front of His Majesty.

He said that

Consort Yan is still alive only because we tried our best

to take good care of her health.

Otherwise,

His Majesty wouldn't have

rewarded us as well.

Come on.

We should make another toast to Doctor Yan.

- Doctor Yan. - Doctor Yan.

Thank you, Doctor Yan.

We appreciate it.

I heard that His Majesty

also gave Doctor Yan a special reward.

I feel embarrassed.

I am an orphan.

I don't know my family name.

His Majesty asked about it today

and gave me the family name "Yan",

same as that of Consort Yan.

So I'm Yan Fushui from now on.

Even His Majesty thinks

that Doctor Yan was brought by fate to Consort Yan.

In that case,

Doctor Yan will be Consort Yan's exclusive doctor.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

But it's always been Doctor He who serves Consort Yan.

I've got something to attend to.

Enjoy your lunch.

Excuse me.

Take care.

I can neither go back to

Duke of Cai's Mansion

nor King Liang's Mansion.

Thank god I met you on your way home.

But

how can I help you?

How is King Liang?

He is imprisoned for now.

I want to...

You can't see him.

If King Liang is a criminal,

you're a criminal's wife.

You'd better leave Chang'an now.

If someone finds you,

you'll suffer.

If King Liang is suffering,

it's only fair that

I suffer with him.

Do you know what he participated in?

Do you know what crime he committed?

But we are husband and wife.

I promised

that only death can do us part.

What kind of kindness is this?

King Liang is in trouble,

so you want to sacrifice all for him.

You always think of others.

But what about you?

What's your worth?

Fu's Residence

You can stay with my family for a few days.

Aunt.

Fu Rou.

I was about to see you.

And this is...

She's a friend of mine,

Miss Wang.

She has something to deal with in town.

Can she stay here for a while?

Miss Wang.

Please come in.

Aunt, you said you were going to see me?

What's up?

Good news.

Fu Yin is back.

Even though she was naive and ran away from home,

everyone was worried about her.

She must have suffered a lot living on her own.

So, when you see her,

don't blame her.

All that matters is she came back safe and sound.

It's an orphan Fu Tao found on his way back.

He made him his adoptive son.

Is Fu Tao back, too?

He already left as soon as he dropped Fu Yin and the baby.

Fu Yin.

Fu Yin.

Your sister's here.

Yin.

Yin.

Alright.

You two may want to catch up.

I'll go and prepare dinner.

Thanks, Aunt.

Yin,

where have you been?

Alright. Alright.

Anyway, you are home.

Stop crying.

Sister,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Sister.

I made a mistake.

I only know now

that home is the best place in the world.

It's over now.

Your mom asked me to take care of you.

If anything happens to you,

I'll feel ashamed.

Yin,

you must never be silly again.

Do you understand?

Yin.

Yin.

You...

You two...

know each other?

OK, tell me.

Are you an orphan?

No.

Did your aunt sell you to a human trafficker?

No.

Why?

Lu Hanxing burned down our house under Lu Qi's order.

My mother was killed in the fire.

Yin,

don't be ridiculous.

I heard it

from Lu Hanxing when I was in Duke of Cai's Mansion.

So, you killed Lu Hanxing

to avenge your mother's death.

Correct.

And you became a concubine of my brother

and gave birth to Shan

also as part of your revenge.

So,

the baby

was not an orphan that Fu Tao found on his way.

It's your...

Does my brother know?

Yes.

You made him fall in love with you

and then you broke his heart.

You made his life miserable.

You...

Now

you can avenge your brother.

You're not

the only one I know

who destroyed your life as well as others'

just to take revenge.

You think you did all this for the sake of justice.

But you're actually selfish and stupid.

You took revenge on my brother.

But you also planted

seeds of hate in your own son.

If hate is passed from generation to generation,

when Shan is a grown-up,

should he kill his father

to avenge his grandma

or kill his mother

to avenge his father?

No wonder he cries a lot.

Maybe he knows

that he is the result of hate.

His Majesty had someone

send your favorite lotus seed soup with dates, Your Highness.

Consort Pearl is pregnant.

I thought His Majesty would care more about her.

But as soon as Your Highness is sick,

all His Majesty thinks about is you.

The illness came at the right time.

Even if Consort Pearl must feel embarrassed,

she can't complain about anything.

What did you say?

I didn't mean any of that.

Stupid.

What do you mean by "at the right time"?

Did Consort Yan choose a time to fall ill?

Just get up.

His Majesty said

that Doctor Yan will take care of

Consort Yan's health from now on.

Is it him

who woke me up with his needles?

Yes.

His Majesty

also said that it was fate that brought Doctor Yan to Consort Yan.

Therefore,

His Majesty made his family name "Yan".

It's wise of His Majesty.

The doctor needs to take Consort Yan's pulse.

You two may leave.

Yes.

It was my fault.

I'm sorry, Aunt.

I failed to take care of my sister.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Is this the lady

who died in the fire set by my brother...

She could have escaped.

But she came back to save me.

Because of me,

she risked her life to come back

and died in the fire.

In order to take revenge,

Yin destroyed her own life.

If her mother knew,

she wouldn't be happy.

Lu Yingying,

do you believe in karma?

I believe in good and evil.

Everyone

has his good side

and his bad side.

There may be shadows in the light.

But the light in the darkness

is even brighter.

Fu Rou.

I want to ask you for a favor.

Are you blind?

How could you slap me?

This is jewelry rewarded by His Majesty to Consort Yan.

How dare you drop it!

It's only reasonable

even if you are executed,

let alone a slap in the face.

Who are you going to execute?

Your Highness.

I just brushed by her.

And she slapped me for it.

Wutong made me

drop the present from His Majesty to Consort Yan.

Who is carrying the jewelry,

you or Wutong?

You didn't keep it safe yourself.

But you blamed it on someone else.

If Consort Yan didn't teach you the rules,

I will.

Wutong.

Your Highness.

Slap her.

Your Highness.

We work for Consort Yan.

I don't care who your master is.

A servant is a servant.

I can punish any servant

who breaks the rules.

What are you waiting for?

Yes, Your Highness.

Stop.

I'd like to plead your mercy for this maid.

Just let her go.

Many people have been kissing Consort Yan's ass.

But however hard you try,

you'll never get ahead.

Sister, don't worry.

I know my own position.

I never expected more than who I am.

None of you knows any better.

These are rewarded by His Majesty.

Shouldn't you check if they're intact

before arguing?

Consort Pearl taught you a lesson for your own good.

You should thank Consort Pearl.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I just went to visit you, Sister.

They told me that you came to the garden for a walk.

When I was about to leave,

I saw the staff from the Housekeeping Service bringing in many things.

They said those are rewards from His Majesty.

You're pregnant with His Majesty's child, Sister.

Even though His Majesty is busy,

I'm sure

His Majesty has always been thinking about you.

It doesn't matter if a servant is punished.

But the consequence is unimaginable

if you let your anger affect the unborn baby.

Considering that Concubine Li is so kind as to plead for you,

I'll let you go today.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Thank you, my lady.

It's not that I have a bad temper.

But Consort Yan looks down her nose at everyone.

If I didn't remind her a bit,

I'm afraid

there would be no place for me in the palace anymore.

Sister,

you're different from us.

You've served His Majesty for so many years.

Now you're pregnant with an imperial baby.

Once the baby is born,

His Majesty will only love you more.

You're young

and naive.

Even if I've served His Majesty for years,

even if the imperial baby is born,

anyone can drop from heaven to hell in one day.

By then, His Majesty won't remember me.

This kind of thing is so common in the palace.

What can I do for you?

I want to redeem what I pawned.

This one is already sold.

How could you sell my jade pendant?

You've renewed your pawn three times.

If you haven't paid off your loan in a long time,

it will be a dead pawn, and we can put it out for sale.

This is the rule.

What rule?

How dare you make trouble here!

Do you know who the owner is?

I know it's King Han. So what?

If I don't get my jade pendant back today,

just wait and see!

Sir,

why don't we sit and talk?

There's nothing to talk about!

Unbelievable!

Go and report to an officer!

Who wants to report to me?

Officer Sun.

You came just in time.

This bastard meant to cause trouble and even hit me.

He sold an heirloom of my family, a jade pendant.

Just find it for him

and let him redeem it.

It's sold. How can I get it back?

Besides, one can only renew one's pawn up to three times.

Who says so?

Every pawn shop knows that.

It's a common practice.

Nonsense.

If everyone adheres to your rules,

what is the government for?

As long as I'm here today,

I won't allow any misbehavior.

If you can't find my jade pendant,

you need to pay me back at least 300 taels.

This is just plain extortion!

If you don't pay it,

we'll just close your pawn shop.

You...

You're taking advantage just because King Han is...

Sir.

Sir.

Leave it at that.

Let's pay them.

They are in it together.

If they really shut down the shop,

we'll be in serious trouble.

Fine.

We will compensate him.

But we don't have enough cash at the moment.

I can write you a receipt.

Unacceptable.

Get the money now.

Listen,

I happen to

have saved some money.

You can borrow it for three days.

I won't charge interest on that

as long as you agree

to exchange this place for my store in the Luoshui neighborhood.

What do you think?

You want to take our place

for three days of interest?

This is just not fair.

I

never do fair business.

Outrageous!

No way.

General Ma already offered to help you.

Why are you so stubborn?

Someone take my order.

Shut down the pawnshop

and arrest these unscrupulous businessmen.

Wait a second.

You want money, right?

I'll give it to you.

How can a woman have so much money?

You must have done something shameful.

Take my order!

Arrest her, too.

What shameful things?

I'm the owner of the Weipin Boutique.

Stop.

What does she have to do with this?

You,

come with me.

What are you doing here?

How could you take advantage

when King Han is in trouble?

Taking advantage

is just what we do, isn't it?

I'm grateful to Queen Han.

She already died.

She wouldn't know even if you wanted to repay her.

So, are you saying

that I don't need to visit your grave after you die

because you won't know anyway?

Nonsense!

Go home now.

I'd rather you don't have status or power.

Now you don't even know who you are.

No wonder Lianyan left you.

You...

What happened?

General Ma.

Your Majesty.

Please, as you were.

I'm so disappointed in King Liang.

How could he contradict his elder

and make you so angry that you even fell ill?

King Liang doesn't know any better.

He was just manipulated by someone.

After all, he's the son of...

As to him,

the government will do him justice.

Auntie,

just take care of yourself.

The government has already

sentenced him?

You're right.

I'm just a widow without children.

Why do I care about all this?

Auntie,

don't underestimate yourself.

I know it all too well.

The palace is in peace

only because of your effort.

I'm old.

I've used up my energy.

I am bound to make mistakes.

Consort Pearl visited me just now.

She told me that Consort Xi was sent to the Cold Palace.

And they feed her food that already went bad.

I understand

that Your Majesty loves Consort Yan.

However,

to be honest,

I don't think you should favor her too much.

Consort Yan...

The Palace of Illumination

His Majesty said

that it was only fifty strikes this time.

From now on, if anyone dares to make things difficult for any lady

in the name of Consort Yan,

he or she will be beaten to death.

Do you understand?

Understood.

Understood.

Your Highness,

His Majesty punished them

only to protect your reputation.

His Majesty cares for you.

Don't take this to heart.

I certainly know His Majesty's good intention.

What idiots!

They made the decision all by themselves

to embarrass Consort Xi.

Send my order.

Get them out of my palace

and degrade them to slaves.

Yes, Your Highness.

May I bother Attendant Huang to tell His Majesty

that I didn't manage my people well

and feel ashamed?

Thank you, Your Highness.

I'll excuse myself.

You came only because I got promoted, right?

Certainly.

You're so vain.

You've known me all along.

I was in the brothel.

What's wrong with me being vain?

I thought you were different.

I didn't expect that you're just like everyone else.

Aren't you just

as ungrateful as all men?

I'm not like them.

You used to treat me so well.

But as soon as you got promoted,

you're always in a bad temper

and even yelled at me.

Lianyan.

Lianyan.

You left without saying goodbye.

I was so worried.

Ma Haihu,

if

I'm willing to give you my heart,

will you give me yours?

Of course.

All your life?

All my life.

I'm willing to be your wife.

Really?

Tomorrow, give me a token

and I'll be yours.

Why tomorrow?

Will this do?

Why are you so silly?

A token is for expressing your love.

Lianyan,

can you make it clear?

I'll buy anything for you.

I don't need you to buy anything.

I want something made by you.

Whether it's a small wood sculpture

or a comb,

or

even a pinwheel,

I want you to make it for me.

No problem.

I see.

So we'll see each other

right here tomorrow.

I'll go home and make you something now.

See you tomorrow.

You promised.

Wait for me.

I don't want to be a spy in Duke of Lu's Mansion anymore.

What,

you feel guilty about Sheng Chujun's death?

I did everything I could.

After all this,

you've already got your rewards.

It must stop now.

But Haihu is not yet a duke.

He?

He's so naive.

If he became a duke,

everyone would want to kill him.

He already did a good job

for what he has now.

Right.

Haihu deserves a better life.

I don't care

if you want to quit.

But before that,

someone needs to see you.

Who?

If it hadn't for you,

I wouldn't have taken this risk.

Just say what you need to say quickly.

I'll watch out for you.

Your Highness.

Queen Liang asked me to come.

She said

that she's worried about you.

She's worried about me?

Maybe she's worried that I'm not dead.

Go tell that bitch.

Even if I become a ghost,

I will haunt her all her life.

I'll make her life a living hell.

Do you hate her?

Of course, I hate her.

She betrayed me.

She hurt me.

Then, how many people have you betrayed?

How many people have you hurt?

What about those women you took away from their parents,

who were abused by you

and died in misery?

What about those who treated you well

but were nevertheless abandoned by you ultimately?

Do you even

remember their names?

Shut up!

You deserve to be punished for your misdeeds.

Lu Yingying is just one of your victims.

But I don't understand

why she wouldn't abandon you

and decided to suffer with you.

I won't help you with this one.

What do you think

my brother would think

if he knew that all the time

being with Yin

was a lie,

an illusion,

and nothing but hate?

After King Liang fled from the palace,

he could have left Chang'an straight away.

But he gave up his chance

and went back to the mansion to look for me.

This might be his first time

to give up his own life for someone else.

I never betrayed him.

I want him to know that.

You're just a crazy fool who's too kind.

You asked me

what my worth is.

My worth is becoming myself.

I want to become the person I want to be.

You said

that if there are more outliers,

the world will be a better place.

So,

will an outlier like you

help an outlier like me?

Lu Yingying never abandoned you.

She was tricked by someone.

She never betrayed you.

You two are in it together.

Do you think I don't know that?

You still don't believe her.

You want me to believe her?

Fine.

Ask her to come herself,

stay in prison with me,

and go to hell with me.

If I can't live,

I won't let her live.

Will she?

Dare she?

Of course.

She already did it.

The Office of Royal Affairs

Even if you turn yourself in,

we won't reduce his sentence.

I don't expect his sentence to be reduced.

What I want to save is his heart.

He has been arrogant and reckless all his life.

He won't even regret it before death.

The Office of Royal Affairs

I want to do the last thing I can

to repay him with kindness.

Maybe he'll finally understand.

Stop there.

Who is this that dares to go straight in?

Lu Yingying, King Liang's wife.

I'm here to turn myself in.

She doesn't care that everyone thinks she's stupid.

What she cares

is that you are convinced

that apart from betrayal and misery,

there is honesty and trust in this world.

I don't believe you.

If she already turned herself in,

why haven't I seen her yet?

She was locked up

with women of criminal officials' families.

I don't believe it.

You're lying.

Just ask the attendants here.

I don't believe it.

They are on your side.

Unless I see her suffer with my own eyes,

I won't believe it.

I'll never believe it.

I don't believe it.

It's not true.

It's not true.

Not true.

When I'm in trouble,

all of you enjoy watching me suffer.

Every one of you wants me to die.

I'm a king of Tang.

I'm the Grand Emperor's favorite son.

You all want me to die?

I'll kill you first!

King Liang...

Let go of me.

Matron Fu.

Let go of her.

Let go.

Let go!

Are you OK?

Lu Yingying, you bitch.

You'll die in misery.

You are all liars.

All liars.

Liar.

Liar.

You are all liars.

Let's go.

Liar.

You are all liars.

Liar.

Liar.

Why are you acting so secretly?

Who on earth wants to see me?

The Wood Hall

I want to talk to Miss Lian alone.

Please.

Miss Lian,

are you afraid of me?

Don't beat around the bush.

What do you want to ask?

You told Yan Zifang

that you saw Sheng Chujun

broke into Sheng Chumu's room

and found the letter from the Crown Prince to King Zhao.

Is that true?

Of course.

In that case,

the Sheng brothers

put on a show in front of you.

How could I know?

I just told you whatever I saw

in Duke of Lu's Mansion.

You don't think I colluded

with Sheng Chumu to cheat you,

do you?

I know

you didn't lie.

Bring him in.

Move.

Is it Sheng Chumu who asked you

to follow Lianyan here?

I was caught by you anyway.

Kill me if you want.

I heard that the top beauty of Yanhui House

likes someone

and decided to be a good woman

and marry that man.

It's such a blessing

to marry someone you love

and spend the rest of your lives together.

What a shame.

I'll never have that.

Miss Lian,

you won't, either.

What else do you want?

I already said

that I won't be your spy

or be blackmailed by you anymore.

We asked you to be a spy in Duke of Lu's Mansion.

But you were used by Sheng Chumu.

Because of you,

we believed that Sheng Chujun

was loyal to the Crown Prince.

But

Sheng Chujun sent the information outside

and therefore, King Han managed to escape.

Because of you,

our meticulous plan

almost failed.

How could I know anything about your plan?

Besides,

you already won, didn't you?

Yes,

we won.

But it was so close

that I learned a lesson from it.

That is, I must

do everything perfectly

at all times.

Lianyan.

Lianyan.

Don't tell Haihu.

I don't want him to feel sad for me.

Lianyan.

Lianyan.

Lianyan.

Why did you kill her?

Didn't you say

that if Sheng Chumu discovered her identity,

we'd just get her out of Chang'an?

I said I would consider it.

But I thought it over

and believe that a dead person is a safer option.

Sheng Chumu used her once

to put the Eastern Palace at a disadvantage.

This time, he used her again to find this place.

If my man hadn't been so vigilant,

we would probably

be plotted against by Sheng Chumu again.

Besides, this woman

is only a loophole for now.

If we kept her,

she would incur trouble sooner or later.

But she's the woman Haihu loves.

I will kill anyone who's in my way.

I'll kill the Emperor's beloved one

if I need to,

let alone Ma Haihu's.

What about someone you love?

If it was someone you love,

you would also be so cold, right?

Being selfish and greedy is only human nature.

What is love anyway?

You asked

the wrong person.

Brother.

Brother,

why did you come back so late?

You know it's late?

Then go to bed.

I'm not tired.

Wait a second.

Come in.

I

want you to see something.

I am

making something important.

I

want to embed

as many gemstones as I can in this.

There are rubies, turquoise,

emeralds, and pearls.

King Liang, Shang, disregarded the benefit of the country,

defied the law of Tang,

engaged in factional activities for his own benefit,

and attempted to murder his blood relative.

Thus, he shall die in prison.

He didn't complain at all

before drinking the poisonous wine

and even wrote a confession letter?

It's not like him.

Let me take a look.

Is Queen Liang in prison?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Bring her here.

OK.

You may get up.

I heard that you turned yourself in.

Yes.

Back then, when your father and brother were in prison,

you almost knelt to death at the palace gate.

Now,

King Liang was imprisoned.

You turned yourself in for him.

Everyone says that you are a virtuous lady.

But

you can't hide it from me.

What you did

is all written in this letter,

The Hall of Rain

King Liang's confession letter.

He meant every word of it.

And half of his words

are about your crimes.

Consort Dowager Su, my mother,

is a soft and kind person.

But you always contradict her.

You even didn't take care of her

when she fell ill due to too much anger.

I never treated Mother like...

You are still defending yourself?

Do you think King Liang

would lie and frame you in his last words?
