Story of Yanxi Palace

Episode 41

7

Wei Yingluo.

8

Wei Yingluo.

9

Wei Yingluo.

10

Neqin was incompetent!

11

Your Majesty, please calm down.

12

Since I started reigning independently,

13

the first highly-favored official would surely be Neqin.

14

But during the battles with the Jinchuan, he excessively-belittled the enemy and fought blindly. (T/N Suppression of the Jinchuan ("Gold Stream" Tibetans of Sichuan) is one of the Ten Great Campaigns of Qianlong)

15

He keeps suffering defeats and incurring so much casualties.

16

I already suggested to him

17

to use the "sowing discord" trick to break down the enemy's army. (T/N Stratagem 33 of the 36, Art of War)

18

But he was stubborn and didn't obey!

19

After getting defeated, he didn't do anything anymore and just shut himself up in his tent.

20

There was not a day that he entered the battlefield to fight again!

21

And he and Zhang Guangsi kept passing the blame.

22

Hence, our Great Qing suffered so many losses.

23

Tell me, should he die?

24

Your Majesty, in our defeats against the Jinchuan,

25

Neqin indeed didn't command the army well.

26

He's still a Grand Minister of the State and is currently commanding our army in a war.

27

Neqin is a coward who fears fighting in battles.

28

He's weak and incompetent.

29

If I don't heavily punish him,

30

it will only make a useless person like that more arrogant.

31

Spread my decree, remove the army-commanding power of Neqin and immediately drag him back to the capital.

32

As for his replacement...

33

Your Majesty, the Jinchuan are in the remote corner of Chuanxi. (T/N Western Sichuan)

34

It's just a very small area. No need for us to make these grand movements.

35

Now that our army has successively suffered defeats, our main strength is badly injured.

36

Why don't we temporarily withdraw and recuperate?

37

Just plan to attack them next year.

38

Withdraw our army?

39

Withdraw our army?

40

Every territory of Qing

41

was a result of the blood and sweat of our ancestors. If I withdraw our army now,

42

what about the soldiers who've sacrificed their lives already against the Jinchuan?

43

What about the border citizens of our prestigious Qing empire!

44

How can I face our ancestors in the future?

45

Zhang Tingyu, I think you're getting muddled as you get older!

46

Let me ask all of you now,

47

who...can go to war in place of Neqin?

48

Every one of you

49

are my Grand Ministers of State.

50

Each one usually showcasing his literary and fighting skills, and talking big.

51

But during critical times,

52

everyone has become silent.

53

Who dares to go against the Jinchuan!

54

Your Majesty, I'm willing to go.

55

Lord Fuheng, Jinchuan's region has harsh weather conditions and dangerous terrain.

56

Sha Luoben is also very fierce and vicious.

57

He secretly connived with the refugees of the past dynasty. Our army has repeatedly attacked him but ended in defeat.

58

The casualties are very grave and the army is unable to recover.

59

Even Zhang Guangsi who's very familiar with the southwestern topography has suffered successive defeats.

60

You mustn't let emotions affect you.

61

Fuheng, are you confident?

62

I'm willing to rush to the Jinchuan line now.

63

Even if I suffer a horrible death, I won't back down.

64

- Young Mistress, don't! Don't!

- Let go!

65

Men! Men! Help!

66

Don't stop me!

67

Young Master, when Young Mistress heard that you're going to the Jinchuan's region, she got so agitated!

68

She said that rather than seeing you go to your death, it's better to just die now!

69

- Let go of me!

- Quickly stop Young Mistress!

70

- Young Master! Young Master!

- Let go.

71

- Young Master! Young Master!

- Say it.

72

What do you want?

73

Fuheng, are you human at all?

74

I'm worried about you, and you show no concern?

75

Worried about me?

76

No. You're afraid that if I die on the battlefield, you'll become a widow.

77

The fame and wealth that you have now will all disappear.

78

What are you saying?

79

What? Did I say it wrong?

80

- I'll just cut off your hand now. Let's see how you'll go to the battlefield!

- Young Mistress...

81

Young Mistress! Young Mistress...

82

Leave us!

83

Fuheng, don't go too far overboard.

84

I did all of this just for you.

85

Was it really for me,

86

or for yourself? You know it very well.

87

If you want to go to the battlefield and die, then go!

88

You must let me go.

89

Erqing, listen well. I hope that you will remember

90

every word that I will say now. I pardoned your life

91

not because of the Imperial descendant In your womb,

92

but because the guilt I have towards you.

93

This guilt once made me want to do everything I can to treat you well.

94

But everything you have done

95

has erased the last patience I have.

96

Starting now, just obediently stay inside this room.

97

If you dare take one step out...

98

What will happen?

99

If the left foot steps out, I'll cut off the left foot.

100

If the right foot steps out, I'll cut off the right foot.

101

Are you crazy!

102

You dare not question His Majesty and instead are insulting me here?

103

I've been a study partner of His Majesty for ten years.

104

I know his temperament a hundred times more than you do.

105

Even if you have outstanding beauty,

106

as long as you've bowed to the heavens and earth, have entered into the main gates of the Fuca Family,

107

he would never touch even a finger of yours.

108

As for how this child originated,

109

I am able to guess it without thinking.

110

You had better pray that I return safely.

111

If I'm unable to return...

112

What will happen if you don't return?

113

The Buddhist convent at the outskirts of the capital will be your home for the rest of your life.

114

You must come back.

115

Young Master, you're really going against the Jinchuan?

116

I heard that our army has suffered huge casualties. No one in the government dared to go.

117

Isn't it very dangerous for you to go?

118

Qinglian.

119

Sorry, Young Master, I said too much.

120

But Old Madam has fainted from worrying too much.

121

She said that if you don't give this up, she won't see you again.

122

Fearing fighting and dying. Cowering and not moving forward.

123

Why still read these military books?

124

What's the point of being an official?

125

I can only showcase my worth on the battlefield,

126

or else I'm just a high official receiving a sumptuous salary

127

who didn't deserve it.

128

If Old Madam asks again, tell her...

129

that I just went to do things that I really want to do. May she forgive me.

130

The swords and spears on the battlefield have no eyes. What if...

131

Young Master, think about Old Madam.

132

She already lost Her Highness the Empress. She can't lose you too.

133

Young Master! The sky is about to go dark!

134

Where are you going?

135

♫ Moving with the wind ♫

136

♫ Kowtowing once for every step ♫

137

♫ Love is long-lasting, hate is long-lasting ♫

138

♫ Make a cocoon and imprison myself ♫

139

Why are you in a daze?

140

Are you finished with your work?

141

Just finished.

142

Stop sweeping. Come and eat with me.

143

♫ Who said that love endures for all of eternity? ♫

144

♫ Having torn apart the fur coat worth a thousand in gold ♫

145

♫ Dreaming of being intoxicated at the River Viewing Pavilion ♫

146

♫ Who cares about those lasting worries? ♫

147

♫ Who cares about those lasting worries? ♫

148

♫ The willow by the palace wall follows the wind ♫

149

♫ Kowtowing once for every step ♫

150

♫ Love is long-lasting, hate is long-lasting ♫

151

♫ Make a cocoon to imprison myself ♫

152

Greetings, Royal Mother.

153

Quickly rise, be seated.

154

Royal Mother, you especially called me come by to today. Do you have something to say?

155

- Go and get me the longevity medicinal formulation.

- Yes.

156

This formulation was named "longevity".

157

It aims to let you live longer, like the lifespan of a turtle and a crane.

158

It contains thirty-three kinds of beneficial medicines.

159

It's the most effective prescription for longevity.

160

Now, the Jinchuan war hasn't been pacified yet.

161

You call for the Grand Ministers of the State day and night to deliberate.

162

This formula would be best to nourish your health.

163

Li Yu, you must remind His Majesty to take that every day.

164

Don't slack off.

165

Yes.

166

Royal Mother cares for me a lot, such a benevolent heart.

167

I surely will etch it in my heart.

168

That one was given to me by Imperial Noble Consort Xian. (T/N now the highest-ranking harem member)

169

She knows that you will never listen to her words.

170

Hence, she borrowed my mouth to say them to you.

171

You then have no choice but to obey it.

172

Your Majesty, she's a

173

rare virtuous consort.

174

Since the Empress left,

175

she managed the six palaces on her behalf. The whole inner palace

176

are quite happy about it.

177

You mustn't treat her unfairly.

178

Didn't I already promote her to Imperial Noble Consort?

179

Although Imperial Noble Consort manages the affairs of the inner palace,

180

she's still just an assistant of an empress.

181

Since you've already made the first step,

182

why not just give her this grace?

183

Royal Mother wants me to make her the new Empress?

184

I know.

185

You and Rongyin were officially married.

186

When she left, you were in so much grief.

187

But a long time has past.

188

You should learn to let it go.

189

Also, the empress position

190

can't always be empty. You must name an empress sooner or later.

191

Although Imperial Noble Consort Xian has no child,

192

she has prestige.

193

Also, very virtuous. If you're going to name an empress,

194

she's the best choice.

195

What Royal Mother said is very right.

196

I was negligent.

197

Emperor, the past matters

198

were indeed regrettable, but they are in the past.

199

You still should cherish the people in front of you.

200

Lady Hoifa-Nara was conferred as a second-level wife during the time of Royal Father.

201

She manages the palace in a warm and cautious manner. Virtuous and strictly obeys the code of ethics.

202

After dignified and beneficial guidance from Empress Dowager,

203

she's now fit to be a motherly model of the empire. After an auspicious date is chosen,

204

she can be transferred to the Empress position. Hence, I'm obeying the Empress Dowager's orders

205

and conferring Imperial Noble Consort Hoifa-Nara as the Empress.

206

Your Highness, your hard work finally paid off.

207

Silly girl. This is clearly a joyous event.

208

Why are you crying again?

209

Your Highness said it right.

210

I'm happy.

211

I should be happy.

212

Your makeup is melting from your tears.

213

Quickly go wash your face.

214

Mother, I'm not anymore,

215

a weak and incompetent daughter.

216

I'm the Empress now.

217

The leader of the six palaces. The motherly model of the empire.

218

The whole Qing empire will know

219

that your daughter is the Empress.

220

You don't need to suffer the ridicule of others anymore.

221

You don't have to live in tattered clothes anymore. (T/N suffer misery)

222

No one would dare belittle you anymore.

223

I've already earned us prestige.

224

I didn't disappoint you. Mother,

225

I'm now the Empress.

226

Why are you not around?

227

I want to let you personally see

228

this formal robe of mine.

229

Personally touch this luxurious fabric.

230

Mother,

231

I so want for you to hug me.

232

I miss you.

233

I miss you so much.

234

From now on, I, Hoifa-Nara

235

Shushen, am the Empress of the Qing Empire.

236

The Hoifa-Nara clan will be under one man but above all others! (T/N answer only to the Emperor, above all)

237

The birthday banquet for this year will be held in the Zhengdaguangming Hall of Yuanming Garden.

238

Everything must be prepared before the convoy of His Majesty arrives.

239

The few of you will be responsible in cleaning the sleeping chamber of His Majesty.

240

- You few will especially handle the cleaning of the Jiuzhou Qingye Hall.

- If His Majesty comes, will his Imperial consorts come too?

241

- Of course. That's the palace rules.

- The few of you...

242

What are you two mumbling about? Yuan Chunwang, Wei Yingluo, and those four others beside you,

243

you will be in charge of cleaning the back area around the pond.

244

- The whole back pond?

- Right. The whole back pond.

245

The releasing of life ceremony for this year's birthday banquet will be done in the back pond of the Yuanming Garden.

246

You all should be alert.

247

If there is any oversight, be careful of your skin!

248

Is cleaning the back pond some happy task? Why are you happy?

249

If His Majesty is coming, Noble Consort Chun will surely come.

250

Won't I be able to see Mingyu then?

251

Mingyu?

252

These past two years, we've been exchanging letters. She said that she's been doing well in Zhongcui Palace.

253

But these past two days, we suddenly lost contact.

254

I'm quite worried.

255

Empress Dowager, on the eastern side, that's the newly-built Changchun Courtyard.

256

In the future, we will still expand towards the southeastern side.

257

Look over there. Those are newly-designed landscapes.

258

When the expansion is complete, the three palaces can be connected.

259

The scenery here is so beautiful.

260

Consort Yu, this must be your first time in the Yuanming Garden, right?

261

I came here once with His Majesty.

262

But these past years the Yuanming Garden has been undergoing expansion.

263

Plus the fact that I still have to take care of Fifth Prince, so I wasn't able to come anymore.

264

Look at that Consort Yu.

265

Since she started following Noble Consort Chun, she has completely changed. Always fawning on her.

266

Sister, stop saying it.

267

What's there to fear? What I'm saying

268

is a truth known by everyone in the palace.

269

Mingyu!

270

I knew that you'd be coming here with Noble Consort Chun.

271

I've been waiting for you.

272

Mingyu?

273

Yingluo.

274

Greetings to Mistress Chun and Mistress Yu.

275

It is indeed you.

276

Long time no see.

277

For Your Highness to still remember me is my great fortune.

278

Rise.

279

Mingyu, you also once worked in Changchun Palace.

280

Your relationship with Yingluo has always been good.

281

Since she came to see you today, you two should make use of the time to catch up.

282

Thank you, Your Highness Noble Consort.

283

No need.

284

Your Highness has just arrived here in the Summer Palace. I still have to unpack your things.

285

I have no time to mind miscellaneous people.

286

Mingyu!

287

When the past Empress was still around, you kept trying to be above everyone else.

288

Everyone in Changchun Palace had to yield to you.

289

Now that we're in the Summer Palace, you still want to boss me around? I've endured enough.

290

Yingluo, since she doesn't want to mingle with you, stop pestering her then.

291

Noble Consort Chun, the peonies over there have blossomed.

292

Let's go look at them.

293

Mistress, I'll accompany you.

294

Mingyu!

295

Now that we're in the Summer Palace, you still want to boss me around? I've endured enough.

296

You've been sitting here for almost two hours.

297

I'm really curious about what you're thinking.

298

Mingyu is acting very strange.

299

What's strange? I think it's very normal.

300

Just like you. You used to be very arrogant and domineering while back in Changchun Palace.

301

She was just acting to be nice to you.

302

In reality, she hates you a lot. It's all your fault.

303

Mingyu and I haven't been together for that long.

304

She indeed has a short temper,

305

but is a very straightforward person.

306

Straightforward? That's why she embarrassed you in front of so many people?

307

Anyway, I find her behavior strange.

308

Even Her Highness Consort Yu, she also...

309

You want to say that she's not as weak as before?

310

- Yes...

- Yes... Sit down.

311

Let me talk some reason into you.

312

Present times are different from before.

313

Consort Yu has now sided with Noble Consort Chun. It's as expected.

314

Okay already. Stop thinking about it.

315

Open your mouth.

316

You still have wake up early tomorrow.

317

Listen to me. Rest early.

318

Does it look good?

319

This is...

320

I saw how plain your hair adornment is, so I bought it for you.

321

Say it. Does is look good?

322

Brother, stop spending money on me.

323

Her Highness the Empress gave me a lot of good items.

324

I've kept them all.

325

What?

326

From now on, stop suddenly mentioning the former Empress.

327

Yingluo, it's already not her reign anymore.

328

You must always remember that the present Empress is of the Hoifa-Nara clan.

329

Rest early.

330

Let go of me!

331

Can you say it now?

332

What has happened?

333

While serving at Zhongcui Palace, has Her Highness the Noble Consort treated you badly?

334

I'm doing very well.

335

I'm doing well, understand?

336

I'm now a highly-favored palace maid by Noble Consort Chun's side.

337

You're just a low level servant of Yuanming Garden.

338

Stop coming to see me.

339

I also have never treated you as a friend.

340

I don't want to see you again.

341

Stop right there!

342

You're hurt?

343

Let me see.

344

I already said that I'm fine. Why won't you believe me?

345

If you're fine, why is your hand painful?

346

I...

347

Mingyu, Noble Consort Chun is treating you badly.

348

Also, she threatened you and banned you from being close with me. Am I right?

349

I'll go see her.

350

Yingluo!

351

The present Noble Consort Chun isn't the same as Her Highness Consort Chun was. She--

352

What has happened these past two years

353

so that you've become this scared?

354

Yingluo...

355

You must be careful with Noble Consort Chun. You must be careful with her!

356

Explain yourself.

357

There's no more time.

358

If I don't go back now, they'll notice it. I must go.

359

Yingluo, you must be careful of her. She won't let you off.

360

Mingyu!

361

Miss Yingluo, you keep pursuing her like this. What really do you want?

362

What did you people do to Mingyu?

363

I don't understand what you're saying.

364

How could someone suddenly become a bird startled by just the twang of a bow

365

unless Noble Consort Chun favors her publicly, but tortures her covertly?

366

Don't spout nonsense!

367

In the past, Her Highness Consort Chun has always followed the lead of the past Empress.

368

Now that the past Empress has died,

369

she then is covertly torturing the old palace maid of Changchun Palace.

370

It's beyond logic,

371

unless Her Highness the Noble Consort is hiding something?

372

What could she be hiding?

373

If she's not hiding anything, why are you getting so nervous?

374

Shut up, Wei Yingluo.

375

I'm warning you. Stop being nosy.

376

Be careful of losing your life.

377

Whether there is a secret or not, it will come out sooner or later.

378

You still have to be alive to investigate it.

379

Help! Help! Someone wants to kill me!

380

Who are you? What are you doing!

381

It's them!

382

Catch him!

383

Catch him...

384

Who dares to move?

385

Who are you people?

386

You dare act atrociously here in Yuanming Garden?

387

Gonggong Zhang, now that the Emperor is here, these two people must have come here to assassinate him.

388

Maybe they got lost and mistakenly entered this place.

389

No! We're here to steal things and not assassinate anyone.

390

Rubbish! If you're just stealing, why do you have a dagger?

391

You two deserve to be cut into pieces! Drag them out!

392

You...come here.

393

Why were you shouting earlier?

394

What if you startled the Emperor?

395

If you've attracted the Imperial Guards here, be careful with your life.

396

Chief Steward Zhang, Yingluo was also just thinking about the safety of His Majesty.

397

Didn't you see that scoundrel holding a dagger?

398

Disperse.

399

All of you, disperse!

400

Why didn't you tell the truth?

401

What I said was the truth.

402

Stop acting in front of me.

403

Those two men were clearly here to kill you.

404

Yes. They were here to kill me.

405

Why didn't you tell it to Chief Steward Zhang?

406

If a Noble Consort makes her move, she surely would send people willing to die. They won't get anything with the interrogation.

407

I don't have time to waste with them.

408

Branding them as attempting to assassinate the Emperor will already be torture enough for them.

409

Tell me, who wants to kill you?

410

[ Portrait of Her Highness the Empress of the Fuca Clan, posthumously titled Empress Xiaoxian ]

411

Your Majesty, there is a designated person cleaning the offering table of Her Highness the past Empress.

412

Look. They even placed the favorite jasmine flowers of Her Highness on it.

413

That's a sewn flower.

414

Replying to Your Majesty,

415

when the jasmine flowers haven't blossomed, I use sewn flowers or paper flowers in place of them.

416

I've sprayed jasmine flower fragrance on them, hence, they are very similar to a true jasmine flower.

417

I remember that when the Empress was alive,

418

she loved eating this kind of cake.

419

But how come the color looks weird?

420

Your Majesty, don't worry. They place a new one every day.

421

They would serve it here while it's still hot.

422

How could the servants dare to not put any offering food on the altar of the former Empress?

423

How come this thing is very hard? Who made this?

424

Replying to Your Majesty, I did.

425

Wei Yingluo.

426

Is this polished glutinous rice cake or a rock?

427

How bold of you! How dare you offer such an item? You...

428

Don't you want to live anymore?

429

Replying to Your Majesty,

430

I dreamed of Her Highness the Empress last night.

431

This is the first time that Her Highness visited me in my dreams these past two years.

432

She said that she missed this polished glutinous rice cake.

433

But the cook of Yuanming Garden doesn't know the taste that Her Highness likes.

434

I boldly made one myself.

435

You made one yourself and it is this quality?

436

Replying to Your Majesty,

437

it was Mingyu who took care of the snacks of Her Highness before.

438

I only served as her assistant. May Your Majesty forgive me.

439

Clever talk and ingratiating manners!

440

Your Majesty, I only wanted to fulfill the wish of Her Highness.

441

But I'm incompetent. I've let Her Highness suffer.

442

Mistress, what are your instructions?

443

Mingyu, last night,

444

where did you go?

445

I lost my handkerchief, so I went back to look for it.

446

- Really?

- It's true!

447

Your Highness, please believe me. I dare not lie!

448

It's indeed Wei Yingluo.

449

She's quite ruthless.

450

Just a few words,

451

and those two people got executed.

452

Your Highness said it right. That girl

453

is a huge impending trouble.

454

No matter how crafty she is,

455

she can't predict things.

456

Don't we have a spy here?

457

Your Highness, I dare not do that! I would never dare!

458

You wouldn't dare?

459

Your Highness! Your Highness, don't! Your Highness, please spare me! Please spare--

460

Your Highness the Noble Consort Chun, I'm here to relay the verbal decree of His Majesty!

461

You know what you should say

462

and shouldn't say, right?

463

Yes.

464

Chief Steward Li, come in.

465

Your Highness the Noble Consort Chun, as decreed by His Majesty,

466

I must take Miss Mingyu to the Changchun Immortal Room.

467

Mingyu?

468

His Majesty wants to eat polished glutinous rice cakes.

469

He heard that Mingyu's culinary version is the most genuine. Hence, he's asking her to go there.

470

Aren't you going to hurry?

471

Chief Steward Li, I'm used to having Mingyu by my side.

472

With His Majesty just suddenly taking her from me,

473

it's a bit unbearable for me to part with her.

474

Your Highness, any person that His Majesty wants

475

even if you can't bear to part with her, you have to.

476

Miss Mingyu, move quickly. His Majesty is still waiting!

477

I will take my leave.

478

Your Highness, what should we do?

479

They are just two lowly palace maids.

480

Even if they ally together, what can they do to me?

481

Moreover, she's from my Zhongcui Palace.

482

She will be back sooner or later.

483

Miss Mingyu, it's all here.

484

Just focus on making the desserts.

485

Mingyu, are you alright?

486

I fooled His Majesty into thinking that a whole set of offerings must be prepared for Her Highness the Empress.

487

I earned you a day's time.

488

This is too risky.

489

Where are you hurt?

490

I...

491

Don't touch me.

492

Mingyu!

493

Let's go.

494

I'll take you to see His Majesty.

495

You can't. We really can't.

496

Why?

497

We can't...we can't possibly...

498

I'll ask for a doctor then.

499

No, you can't. Yingluo!

500

Yingluo!

501

Miss Yingluo, you're too bold.

502

If I didn't come this time and it's some other Imperial physician, what will you do?

503

The other hand.

504

Doctor Ye is now the pillar of the Imperial Medical Academy. You are highly favored by the Empress Dowager.

505

How can you be left behind whenever the Imperial family go out of the palace?

506

We haven't seen each other for two years, yet you're still this silver-tongued.

507

Doctor Ye, how is Mingyu?

508

Take this in. It will make it more bearable later.

509

That was close.

510

If we were a bit slower, this needle would continue to go up.

511

If it reached the head,

512

even the deities wouldn't be able to save her.

513

Say, what kind of person can be this heartless

514

to insert a silver needle inside a body? A person must walk, sit, and sleep.

515

The silver needle will move with one's body fluids and you'll be in severe pain.

516

Doctor Ye, thank you for today.

517

But the matter today...

518

Don't worry. I've been in the palace for quite a long time.

519

I know what can and can't be said.

520

But...I'm only able to find this needle hiding in a more superficial area of her skin.

521

It's possible that some have flowed into her internal organs.

522

I fear...

523

Doctor Ye, I won't die. Thank you for today.

524

Miss MIngyu, you must follow the prescription I gave you for the whole month.

525

You must take the medicine every day.

526

It will benefit your recovery.

527

Doctor Ye.

528

I'll walk you out.

529

Okay.

530

Can you tell me the truth now?
