Court Lady

Ep54

Are you feeling better?

What did you...

What did you do to Chumu?

What do you mean?

I embroidered this for Chumu.

It showed up outside my door last night.

There is dried blood all over it.

What did you do to him?

Don't look at me like that.

I don't know

why it showed up here.

I am asking what you did to him.

Tell me!

I didn't do anything.

Get out.

Get out of here!

Chumu...

King Zhou sent an order.

The 100 cavalries will be under the command of General Feng for now.

Our general said that

without His Majesty's written order,

no one shall replace him.

Sheng Chumu has gone missing.

What are you yelling for?

If the general deserts his post,

the 100 cavalries will be handed over to a new general.

Line up!

Are you going to rebel?

You are the cavalries of Tang,

not a private troop of Sheng Chumu!

Line up!

Ye Qiulang, General of Rangers.

Yes.

Zong Jianxiu, General of Rangers.

He isn't here today.

What elite 100 cavalries?

Sheng Chumu has only trained you

into a bunch of insubordinate losers!

You should be well disciplined.

You must be lying!

Xinnan was all right when I left.

How could she die?

Tell me the truth!

Just keep an eye on him.

Why did you tell him that?

Let me out!

I will avenge Xinnan!

I will avenge my big brother!

Look, he has totally lost his mind.

-You asked for it yourself. -Let me out!

I will kill them! I will kill them!

Watch him carefully.

He is the brother of the general.

If he runs away

and gets killed...

I understand. I will watch him closely.

I should never have...

I should never have left you.

Sheng Chuling,

you are such a useless loser!

Ke.

Mother.

What are you doing here?

You take care of Father all the time.

So, I thought I should be a good son.

With such a considerate son like you,

your father will get better much sooner.

I need to run some errands now.

I'll be back later.

Go ahead.

Looking at His Majesty like this,

it makes me feel so...

Matron Fu, what can I do for you?

I want information about him.

It will only add to your agony.

You'd better forget about Sheng Chumu

and think about King Zhou.

Matron Fu.

Stop there.

How dare you spy

on the matron of the six palace services?

Do you know what Chief of Palace Surveillance can do?

Have some medicine to replenish your energy.

After Her Majesty passed away,

His Majesty fell ill as well.

I failed her trust.

I am useless.

Stop your muttering.

Your top priority is to recover.

Someone is here to visit you.

I have some errands to run.

I shall get going now.

Matron Fu.

Attendant Huang.

I didn't expect

that you would come to visit him.

I've got to do it.

We didn't like each other very much in the past.

But in the palace,

we don't know what we'll end up like.

Have things not gone well for you recently, Attendant Huang?

Gone well for me?

I am just like Cao Yangde's dog!

How could it be?

Apart from Attendant Cao, you're the most senior attendant

in the Housekeeping Service.

You are good, Matron Fu.

You are trying to turn me against him.

I am not that stupid.

I won't get dragged into your business.

You don't need to.

But if you see anything suspicious,

at least you can keep an eye on it for me.

No matter how far away you are,

you must remember how to get back to me.

When I was captured by the pirates,

when I was helpless and confused,

you came back no matter what.

And that time,

people all said that you had died in Sheng Country.

At the most hopeless moment,

you still came back to me.

You also came to me in Great Mount Cang

and in the Temple of Grace.

You have never let me down.

I know it.

No matter how high the walls around the palace are,

as long as I need you,

you will show up for me.

Attendant Huang?

How is it going?

You really screwed me up this time.

What do you mean?

Cao Yangde was sneaking with a stranger.

I couldn't help myself but...

So, you don't trust me?

This is related to the future of Tang.

It is my duty to keep the Royal Seal. I have to be cautious.

Unless I see His Majesty in person

and get his approval,

I can't use the Royal Seal.

Do I have to ask you to do it, you seal keeper?

Get in here.

Search the place!

Yes.

Cao Yangde, you are such a traitor!

Attendant Cao,

we found it.

Where is the Royal Seal?

I don't know.

Did anyone else come here before?

Matron Fu came earlier

to check the window lattice here.

It's her again!

To take away the Royal Seal?

It's impossible.

What can they do even if they take the seal?

His Majesty is only in a coma now.

My Lord,

take the Royal Seal and run right away.

It's too late.

If the case is really what you said,

I am afraid it will only alert them if I act rashly.

They will come and take away the seal at once.

Then, what should we do?

You should keep the seal.

But I can't get out of the palace as well.

In the palace,

at least you will find more solutions than me.

I will hold them off here as long as I can.

Go, now!

Do you just trust in me, My Lord?

This is the Royal Seal.

You became the matron under the order

sent by the late Empress after she passed away.

I have confidence in the choice of the late Empress.

Now, go.

Search carefully!

Yes!

You!

What?

Can't you just hide carefully?

You are supposed to be dead now!

But I can't be starved to death, can I?

I am defeated by Matron Fu.

How could she think of

hiding you little rascal here at my place?

I am also defeated by her.

How did she think of hiding the knife on me,

irritated Consort Yan,

and then set the Imperial Guards Station on fire

to fake my death.

Yeah. She needed to prepare a fake burnt body

and find people to get you out.

We did go through a lot to save you!

So, behave yourself

and don't let anyone see you.

Otherwise, it'll be over for me.

Are you scared?

It's too late now.

From the moment you took me in,

you have become the enemy of Consort Yan.

But don't worry.

I will tell my father all about it

to bring her crimes to light

and let you take credit.

At least I'll have to live until then.

Go search over there, hurry up!

Stop there!

What is it?

The general wants a word.

Come with us.

-Come on! -Go.

General, we've got some court ladies.

Where is Fu Rou?

What did Matron Fu do wrong?

You don't get to ask about it.

Matron Fu said that

anyone can ask about anything in the world.

Do you wish to die?

I will grant your wish today with this sword!

Look how Fu Rou has spoiled you!

You are full of rules and regulations.

Today, I'll let you know that

this stands for the supreme rule in the palace.

I am starving.

I am going to starve to death.

Help. I need some food.

Give me some food.

This is mine.

You are fat.

You will survive this.

I am your older brother.

You said that you would let me eat first.

I am going to starve to death!

Older brother, my ass!

I will kill you!

-What are you doing? -I will...

-Don't fight! -I will...

-I will kill you! -Quit it!

-You are dead! -Stop it!

You...

Get out of my way!

Stop it!

I will kill him.

Don't fight!

I am going to strangle him.

Crown Prince, he is down.

Crown Prince, come on.

Be careful.

We can get out of here.

But we can never get out of the palace.

I didn't think that far.

As long as we can get to the Palace Catering Service,

that is enough for me.

I want to see our father.

I am such an ungrateful son!

How could I forget that Father is still ill?

Come on, let's go to see Father.

Isn't that Concubine Qiao's place?

Oh, no.

The Princess is in danger.

Search it!

We can't let the Crown Prince and King Han run away!

We will be killed.

You, go over there.

Yes!

Hurry up!

You go search there!

Yes.

Hurry up!

This way, come with me. Hurry up!

The Palace of Spring

Guard the gate.

Has any of you seen Fu Rou today?

-No, I haven't. -No, I haven't.

So, you are here to look for Matron Fu.

Who else can it be?

Search the place!

What are you doing?

Consort Yan and I are like sisters.

How dare you search my place?

I need to see Consort Yan.

It is the order of Consort Yan to search everywhere.

Do you want to make Her Highness look bad, Concubine Qiao?

No, I don't.

Search it now.

Yes.

The bed looks fishy.

It is Matron Fu!

Matron Fu is over there!

The Palace of Spring

Stop there! Catch her!

Come out.

Matron Fu has lured the guards away.

Matron Fu is so smart!

Keep it down!

That is my sister-in-law!

How did she do that?

Those guards came here just to look for her.

Oh, no.

Then, to save us, she just...

Stop there!

Don't run!

Where is the Royal Seal?

Where did you hide it?

Take her away.

Why isn't there any sign

about the succession of the throne?

His Majesty is gravely ill.

This is already a sign.

It is good to settle the thing now,

so there won't be any trouble in the future.

Grand Chancellor Fang is here.

-Grand Chancellor Fang. -Grand Chancellor Fang.

-Grand Chancellor Fang. -Grand Chancellor Fang.

Grand Chancellor Fang, what do you think?

Of course, we'll need to look at the imperial edict of the succession first.

-Yes. -You are right.

We shall see the edict first.

Thank you for coming, Your Excellencies.

General Yan,

where is King Zhou?

His Highness is getting dressed.

After that, we will present you with the edict.

Please wait for a while, Your Excellencies.

Well, all of us are here waiting for him.

Why didn't he take a shower earlier?

Yang Bai, Yang Bai.

Yang Bai.

Why are you in there?

It was Yuhe.

She used the lives of the court ladies

to threaten me to give away the Royal Seal.

Yang Bai.

You must help me this time.

How am I supposed to help you?

Go find a way to send

a message to Duke of Lu right away.

Tell him to steady the situation.

No, I won't do it.

It will get me killed.

I dare not do it.

If they get what they want,

every man in our country will suffer.

Will you be able to stay out of it?

You said that

you are not content

only to be an invisible palace attendant.

You also don't want to be a puppet manipulated by others.

Now that our country is in danger,

it's time for you to step up

and do something great and world-shaking.

You can be a hero whose name will live forever.

However...

Even if I do it,

Duke of Lu won't believe my words.

You can go there with proof.

What proof?

The Royal Seal.

All right.

I will do it.

That's great.

The Royal Seal is buried...

It's buried under the big pomegranate tree

by the Mid-Lake Pavilion.

Under the big pomegranate tree by the Mid-Lake Pavilion?

Yes.

The Royal Seal is buried under the big pomegranate tree by the Mid-Lake Pavilion.

Yang Bai, you...

Do you still remember my brother Yang Hou?

He was beaten to death under the order of the late Empress.

The best revenge on the late Empress

is that King Zhou will always

step on her sons' heads.

For your own benefits

and personal enmity,

you even betrayed the whole country.

The country is so vast. It's not my business to worry about it.

I will only pay back the ones who treat me well.

If anyone treats me bad,

I will get back at him!

Matron Fu,

you have always been nice to me.

I failed you this time.

However,

when I make it in the future,

I will pay you back for sure.

Yang Bai, don't go!

Get back here! Come back!

Yang Bai, get back here!

My brother,

your soul showed up in front of me.

You must have died with regrets.

Please rest in peace.

When I get out of here,

I promise I will avenge you.

Avenge me on whom?

You are alive?

Of course.

Big brother, you are not dead.

This is so great!

I don't need to avenge you.

But I must avenge Xinnan.

Xinnan is not dead, either.

Stop lying to me.

So, do you want her to be dead?

No, I don't.

She can't die.

I know, so I'm telling you that she's alive.

Is she really alive?

Xinnan is alive?

Xinnan is alive! This is so wonderful!

Put me down.

I am such a fool.

How could I just give away the Royal Seal so easily?

Even if I die,

I won't be able to make up for the mistake.

Chumu,

where on earth are you?

Aren't you taking me to Xinnan?

What are we doing here?

She is not a fish.

She can't be in the water.

The generals and guards in Chang'an have been redeployed or replaced.

I can't trust anyone.

Grand Chancellor Fang and the other courtiers went to the central hall.

They can't be of help now.

If we don't do this,

how can we get in and find Xinnan for you?

So, we can find help in the Forbidden Court?

Do you know which troop is specially permitted

to train in the Forbidden Court?

The 100 cavalries.

You are right.

That's the troop led by me.

The Forbidden Court is next to the Wei River in the north, Chang'an in the west,

the royal palace in the south,

and Chan River and Ba River in the east.

It is a critical area.

How can I train the cavalries

in such a place?

As long as you know it is a critical place,

it's already enough.

I will not fail your trust, Your Majesty.

Why are you so puffed up?

It's only one hundred soldiers.

How can they be of any use?

Let's go.

Brother,

how could you spank me?

Matron Fu.

Matron Fu.

You must have turned to the side of Yuhe as well.

He has already gotten the Royal Seal.

What else does he want?

Who can I possibly turn to?

I am already in the same boat as you.

I beg you.

You can't give up at this point.

You need to turn the tide.

If you really let Cao Yangde and his men get their way,

how will I...

How will I live with it?

Well...

What else can we do to turn the tide?

It all depends on human effort.

There is not a war that one can never win.

As a general, one must make the best use of everything.

The thing can be the weather,

a weapon,

or a man.

Why are you smiling?

Do you think I look

extremely handsome when I talk about the art of war?

So cocky.

What if the enemy is so powerful

that you are bound to lose?

There is not a war that one can never win

but only ineptitude generals.

We should make the best use of everything.

The thing here can also refer to a man.

Crown Prince, come.

Let's go.

It's our father.

Hurry, close the door.

Father.

Father.

We are here to see you.

Father.

Father.

Father, wake up, Father.

General,

you are finally back.

It must be urgent so that you called us together here.

I just got a secret order from His Majesty

telling us to go to the palace and clean up the treacherous.

Well...

There are only 100 of us.

The Forbidden Court is next to Chang'an in the west and the royal palace in the north.

The Xuanwu Gate is the only thing that keeps us away from the inner palace.

The 100 cavalries know about the defense of the gate and the patrol range of

the Imperial Guards very well.

As for such a situation,

we've practiced for it countless times.

No wonder even when our training was considered taboo,

His Majesty never opposed it.

Turns out that he deployed us in the Forbidden Court

just for...

For our country, Tang.

I know that you hate me.

But it is what it is.

Now, this is the only choice we have.

You must do as I say.

I won't!

That's enough!

Even if you threaten me with your life,

I won't do harm to my father.

I will not be ordered about by you anymore.

I would rather die

than do as you say.

Ke, Ke, you can't kill yourself!

You are my only son.

Ke, you can't die.

You should listen to them.

Let go of me.

Ke, Ke, my son.

Listen to me.

No matter what you do,

they've decided to kill your father anyway.

If you do as they say,

you will become a puppet in their hands.

What they want is

for you to take all the blame.

So, Ke,

you have to trust me.

This is the only choice you have now.

Hurry up.

Go save your father.

You can make amends for your faults.

This could be the last chance for you not to be killed.

Mother.

Ke, you must believe in me.

Everything I did was for your own benefit.

Ke.

Ke has agreed to it.

King Zhou has agreed to the plan.

If my father has to die,

as his son,

I shall do this myself.

His Highness is going to show filial piety to his father for the last time.

Follow him closely.

Make sure you don't lose him.

Wait here for me.

I will go inside myself.

It's King Zhou.

Come on.

This way.

Attendant Yu said that

we must follow Your Highness closely.

Then, suit yourself.

Are you out of your mind?

Do you think I will give in to you

and kill my own father?

You are out of your mind!

Go get him!

Why are you here?

He is not the only one here.

Why did you help him?

Didn't you see that he tried to protect our father?

Though there is enmity between us,

still, we are all Father's sons.

We are brothers.

Just for now.

Guards!

Go hide!

That way.

Go.

What was the noise?

Let's go check it out.

Why are you standing here?

Get in here! Hurry up!

Something went wrong!

Your Highness!

What is it?

Something went wrong!

The guards said that King Zhou went mad and stabbed them.

They got into a fight.

During the fight, King Zhou...

What did they do to King Zhou?

Say something!

What did they do to King Zhou?

King Zhou was...

King Zhou was killed by them.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Ke.

Ke.

It was all my fault.

You can go now, Jin.

Secure the Hall of Nectar.

If anyone sees King Zhou,

just kill him.

Understood.

No, don't!

No, you can't do that.

Yuhe.

Yuhe.

You can order me to do anything.

Yuhe.

I beg you, please.

Please spare Ke's life.

I need to cut the weeds and dig up the roots to avoid any future trouble.

Ke!

How dare you!

Why do I not dare?

Why do I not dare to do it?

I did damage to my own body.

I was willing to be the lowest servant

to fawn on you.

King Zhou means nothing to me!

I went to all the lengths to pull it off for him.

He was supposed to ensure

my fame and wealth for the rest of my life.

However,

he even dared to betray me.

Why can't I do it?

Why can't I just kill King Zhou?

Why can't I do it?

Of course, I can kill him if I want to.

For all these years,

you people have treated me

just like a dog and ordered me around

at your will.

You and your son

owe all the fame and wealth to me.

It was all because of you!

That's all right.

If you won't give me a high position and great wealth,

I will do it myself.

I will do it myself.

It is supposed to be this way.

The world is supposed to work this way!

Do you think you can beat all of them?

I won't let you take our father out and get you both killed.

It must be those court ladies again.

Come on, let's have a look over there.

Father, you are awake?

Get your hands off him right away!

Forgive me, Father.

Father.

This is the idea of our eldest brother.

Now you call me your eldest brother.

Brother.

Father, don't worry.

We are going to take you to the Xuanwu Gate.

Let's go, Father.

Come on.

Let's go. Be careful.

Here, be careful.

Watch out.

Come on! Hurry!

Hurry up!

King Zhou is there!

Hurry up! Run!

Hurry! You should run!

Just run!

Stop there!

Stop it!

Don't you run!

Stop there!

General Yan.

Is there anything you called us here for?

Fushui told me to kill all the people inside.

No problem.

I am afraid the other Imperial Guards

may not be hardhearted enough to kill the courtiers and the Princess.

You are the most trusted subordinates

sent in by Doctor Yan.

It is more assuring to leave this to you.

You can trust in us.

We will not be soft on them.

Go do it.

-Yes. -Yes.

I can carry him.

Here.

Just take our father and go!

Watch out!

Take him and go!

Hurry! Come on!

Just take Father and run!

Father, Father.

Don't look at it.

It is ominous to see blood when you are ill.

Don't worry, Father.

Heaven rewards the good.

In times of crisis,

someone will come to our aid.

I remember

when I was ambushed by King Zhao,

I thought I was going to die as well.

But at that critical moment,

Sheng Chumu showed up for me.

Kill them!

I didn't come to save you in time.

Please forgive me, Your Majesty.

Chumu,

it's the perfect timing.

You came right on time.

King Zhou, Chumu saved your life.

-If you try to take Matron Fu from him again... -General!

We found Grand Chancellor Fang and the others.

You will be ungrateful!

You Majesty, I wonder where Matron Fu is...

Your Majesty.

The attendant we caught said that

the Grand Chancellor and the others are kept in the central hall.

The rebels are going to kill them.

I understand.

Zong Jianxiu, stay here and keep His Majesty safe.

Ye Qiulang, Sheng Chuling, come with me!

Yes!
