Watching the person in the mirror's countenance pale and grow haggard,

Examining love together with regret, both new and old.

Keeping watch still by a lantern though it is daybreak, drenched with tears,

Story of Yanxi Palace

Episode 43

7

Starting today, remember this well.

8

She's my Noble Lady Wei.

9

Stop addressing her casually.

10

Yes.

11

Li Yu.

12

I'm here.

13

Tomorrow, we'll set out to return to the palace.

14

Lord Suolun, did His Majesty get angry?

15

For His Majesty to not get mad is a good thing. Why then are you frowning?

16

- I'm worried.

- Worried about what?

17

Worried what Fuheng will do once he knows all about this.

18

Your Highness, why did you agree to let Wei Yingluo enter the palace?

19

Isn't it very interesting?

20

That woman is very discontented with her lot and keeps being unruly.

21

I'm afraid that she'll create future troubles.

22

Noble Consort Chun has been complacent for too long.

23

It's time to give her a rival. Am I right?

24

Your Highness, you have the intention to let Wei Yingluo

25

suppress Noble Consort Chun?

26

I've never said I would help anyone.

27

Whether she can obtain the Emperor's favor and overshadow Noble Consort Chun,

28

that will depend on her abilities.

29

But aren't you worried that she...

30

My hands have been clean ever since.

31

The one who should be afraid should be Noble Consort Chun.

32

Your Highness is wise. Where do you think Wei Yingluo should be placed?

33

In my opinion, why not just place her in Zhongcui Palace?

34

It then would become very lively.

35

If I do that, it would be too obvious.

36

Arrange her to stay in Yanxi Palace instead.

37

How come the Empress Dowager was like that?

38

How could she let a former palace maid directly become a Noble Lady?

39

Yuhu, don't be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager.

40

Yes.

41

During the birthday banquet, she created heaven-sent auspicious signs.

42

Once this gets out, everyone will praise the benevolence of the Empress Dowager

43

and say it has moved the heavens. Of course the Empress Dowager was very happy about it.

44

Moreover, she's an old attendant of the late Empress.

45

It's just normal for the Empress Dowager

46

to try to help her.

47

Your Highness, she's just a palace maid from a lowly background.

48

There's no need to give her any importance.

49

Even if she's a Noble Lady upon entering the palace,

50

she surely won't be able to surpass Your Highness.

51

Consort Yu, I remember

52

that you two go way back.

53

Just a measly palace maid, yet she kept ordering me around.

54

I've long been annoyed by her.

55

If not because I gave the late Empress some considerations,

56

why would I bother pay her any attention?

57

Sister, are those sincere words?

58

Of course.

59

A palace maid will never remove such a lowly mark from herself.

60

If Sister wants to vent your anger,

61

I have an idea.

62

[ Zhongcui Gate ]

63

Let's go.

64

Wei Yingluo frequently went to Yonghe Palace before.

65

She even saved Fifth Prince from the hands of Noble Consort Gao.

66

Aren't you afraid that Consort Yu is insincere with her words?

67

I don't believe her.

68

I only believe in the human heart.

69

I'm slow-witted.

70

From the start, Wei Yingluo has seen

71

the lowliest and weakest past of Consort Yu.

72

If you're Consort Yu, will you like a person like that?

73

When a person attains success,

74

it will be hard for him to meet his friends from when he was still poor.

75

That's the principle I'm driving at.

76

Now, you have boundless splendor,

77

but she has seen you in pain and grief.

78

She could easily make your heart ache.

79

That's too annoying.

80

What do you say?

81

Noble Lady Wei, this is Yanxi Palace.

82

From now on, you'll be staying here.

83

[ Yanxi Gate ]

84

Noble Lady, please.

85

Chief Steward Wu, thank you for your trouble.

86

Noble Lady Wei, you're being too courteous.

87

You mustn't do this.

88

This is the standard practice. You don't need to refuse it.

89

If you have any instructions from now on, just call me.

90

I surely will do my best to help you.

91

Thank you.

92

I will take my leave.

93

Greetings, Noble Lady!

94

At ease.

95

- Yingluo!

- Hupo!

96

Who told you to address the Noble Lady like that?

97

Can't you discern the difference in position?

98

But before, we all were serving Her Highness the Empress together.

99

Noble Lady, have you forgotten everything?

100

Mingyu, I'm tired.

101

Let's go in and rest first.

102

Other than Hupo and Zhenzhu, everyone else can leave!

103

Hupo, why are you here?

104

Sister Mingyu, when the late Empress died, we all got dispersed all over the palace.

105

A few days ago, the Imperial Household Department suddenly gave orders asking us to come to Yanxi Palace as palace maids.

106

Sister Mingyu, we finally can be together again.

107

Indeed. Indeed. Sister Mingyu. This is a good thing. You...

108

How come you're not happy at all?

109

This is Yanxi Palace.

110

Noble Lady Wei is now our mistress.

111

You openly offended her and directly called her name.

112

She's already especially gracious not to severely punish you.

113

You still don't know to mend your ways.

114

Noble Lady Wei has just entered the palace. Of course, she must establish a benevolent reputation.

115

At this time, if she openly punishes a previous colleague from Changchun Palace,

116

it will just let people criticize her as forgetting her past.

117

Hupo, stop overstepping your boundaries!

118

Sister Mingyu, in terms of experience,

119

you have worked here longer than Wei Yingluo. In terms of beauty,

120

you are naturally beautiful. Isn't it such a pity to stay as a servant by her side?

121

If she can become a Noble Lady, why can't you?

122

Hupo, what is the temperament of Mistress Wei,

123

I'm sure you know it better than I.

124

I urge you to not incite any trouble.

125

Or else, no one will be able to save you!

126

Sister Mingyu, what I'm saying is the truth!

127

His Majesty sent her to this Yanxi Palace,

128

the most remote palace of them all. The Emperor will never come here in ten years.

129

What's there to fear with a person like that?

130

Hupo, what are you doing?

131

A Noble Lady that's destined to get no favor, I'm not afraid of her,

132

so why would you be afraid?

133

Now everyone is talking about the auspicious signs during the birthday banquet.

134

The Empress Dowager was so happy, and thus she rewarded me with these many gifts.

135

All are rare precious items.

136

Come and look.

137

I'm not looking.

138

That Hupo is totally evil.

139

How come I didn't see that she's like this when we were still in Changchun Palace?

140

Someone definitely sent her here to anger you.

141

If you really got affected by her, you then have fallen into her scheme.

142

Hupo humiliated you in public, yet you were able to endure it?

143

Think about it.

144

Hupo was a palace maid of Changchun Palace. She was once my equal.

145

Now, I've become a Noble Lady

146

and she got transferred here to serve me. Would she accept that whole-heartedly?

147

She saw how I was bowing and lowering myself before.

148

Won't she be so happy to announce it now, so she could shame me?

149

- But you clearly know—

- But I can't punish her.

150

Why?

151

She was a palace maid by the side of my old mistress.

152

If I punish her, I would be called an ingrate.

153

Hateful. The person who plotted this is so sinister.

154

Hence, the more you know that she's deliberately doing it, the more you shouldn't get mad.

155

Yanxi Palace is the remotest palace.

156

It's very hard to see His Majesty here.

157

Now Hupo got sent here, thinking of ways to contradict you every day.

158

What should we do now?

159

No rush.

160

Yingluo, I keep feeling like you've changed into another person upon our return.

161

In the past, if you encountered a matter like this, you would have jumped out and face it.

162

This is beautiful!

163

Mingyu, take it.

164

Yingluo!

165

Mingyu,

166

before...I had Her Highness the Empress protecting me.

167

I could be fearless.

168

Now, Her Highness is gone.

169

I can only be careful and cautious.

170

I'm afraid that the future days will not be smooth-sailing ones.

171

Sister Hupo, last night, I also dreamed that I'd become a Noble Lady.

172

Cut it out. You keep daydreaming.

173

It's better to just go back to work.

174

Hupo, go to the Imperial Household Department and get our monthly allowance.

175

Sister Mingyu, I dare not.

176

Why?

177

Our Mistress has entered the palace for quite a long time,

178

but His Majesty has never visited.

179

There are so many rumors spreading in the palace.

180

They're saying that His Majesty is looking down at our mistress.

181

He just forcefully keeps her by his side in consideration of the Empress Dowager.

182

Those people in Imperial Household Department serve dishes based on how they look at you.

183

I urge you, better not go and embarrass yourself.

184

Mingyu, what are you doing?

185

I respected you because you once served by the side of the late Empress. But times have changed.

186

You think it's still like the past?

187

I'll go get it...

188

Sister Mingyu, stop being mad.

189

Hupo, you had better just talk less.

190

If you go later and get ridiculed,

191

don't blame me for not warning you!

192

What's wrong?

193

Endure... I can't endure this any longer!

194

You can't endure what any longer?

195

Of course! Look at this Yanxi Palace. It's the most remote palace among all the harem palaces.

196

His Majesty has never stepped in here.

197

When we had just arrived, there were weeds growing all over.

198

The eastern rooms are drafty with wind and leak when it rains. The food they deliver every day is cold.

199

Just to get a monthly allowance, we still have to repeatedly harry them.

200

The days are already hard.

201

Lately even the servants here dare to casually discuss their mistress!

202

What kind of world is this?

203

If I continue to endure this, I'll become a turtle soon!

204

What are you laughing about?

205

- Mingyu, I finally saw your sharp spirit again.

- What do you mean?

206

Noble Consort Chun frightened you so much. You would cower just at the mention of her name.

207

It's unbearable to see you like that.

208

Today, you look more human.

209

Yingluo!

210

I've been in Yuanming Garden for more than two years.

211

The first thing I learned is patience.

212

But temporary patience is for a pleasurable future.

213

- Let's go.

- Go where?

214

Without the graces of the Empress Dowager,

215

I would have ag long starved to death.

216

Shouldn't I quickly go to thank her?

217

This Little Sister, have I seen you before?

218

You're making up things again.

219

When did you ever see her?

220

Although we have never seen each other, with such a kind face,

221

she can be considered to be an old friend of mine in my heart.

222

Today, why then can't we act as

223

reuniting after a long time?

224

In my opinion, how is that a mischievous lad?

225

It's more like a womanizing young man.

226

- Today—

- What story are you telling

227

that's making the Empress Dowager so happy?

228

Your concubine respectfully greets Your Majesty.

229

What sort of street stall story was that?

230

You dare show it to the Empress Dowager?

231

Look at how you're dressed up, like a man!

232

Don't blame her.

233

It was I who called her to come here to amuse me

234

and chat with me. Just chatting is boring, so she put on a costume too.

235

It's also hard on her to try to make me laugh.

236

But this story is indeed quite interesting.

237

How about Your Majesty, come and listen to it too?

238

So outrageous. Quickly leave.

239

Yes!

240

I will take my leave!

241

Your Majesty, we're just joking around.

242

Don't be mad.

243

I'm not mad.

244

I've been in the palace for so many years.

245

I've seen a lot of filial and virtuous Imperial consorts.

246

But someone as quick-witted and strange like her,

247

being able to come up with a hundred ways to make me happy every day,

248

is really rare.

249

Your Majesty.

250

Empress Dowager.

251

That girl easily takes advantage of others' weaknesses.

252

It's better that you don't spoil her,

253

so she won't become arrogant.

254

Yes.

255

Wait.

256

[ Noble Lady Wei of Yanxi Palace ]

261

[ Shoukang Palace ]

262

Greetings to Your Majesty.

263

Yingluo, you come here every day, but His Majesty keeps ignoring you.

264

What should we do?

265

How long have we been coming here?

266

This...it's more than a month already.

267

We always bump into him, but His Majesty just won't talk to you at all.

268

More than a month...

269

Let's not come tomorrow then.

270

Why?

271

I got exposed to the wind and am a little sick.

272

My voice is gone and can't tell a story anymore.

273

Just request for a leave of absence from the Empress Dowager first.

274

What are you trying to do?

275

Subtitles brought to you by The Gentle Empress Team @ Viki.

276

Your Majesty, please have some tea.

277

Were you able to ask around?

278

Your Majesty, what should I be asking?

279

I did. They said that Noble Lady Wei is sick.

280

Sick?

281

Who said that I'm asking about her?

282

This...

283

I spoke too much! I spoke too much!

284

I'll just go out and walk around.

285

It's so hot!

286

Noble Lady Wei, you're so delicate.

287

If it's hot, you could have just blown it a little.

288

Hupo, who allowed you to talk like that to me?

289

Noble Lady Wei, a person shouldn't forget where she came from.

290

Before, when we were in Changchun Palace,

291

we helped each other out.

292

Now that you've become an Imperial consort.

293

don't go forgetting that.

294

No matter what I say, you will find fault.

295

You're so hard to serve.

296

That was before. I'm now a Noble Lady.

297

Your current attitude is offending your superior.

298

You...are you not afraid that I'll tell Her Highness the Empress this?

299

Yes... You are a high and noble mistress.

300

I'm a lowly servant. Of course, I must follow your order.

301

Since you don't want to drink it, then don't!

302

I'll go throw it away now!

303

Y-Your Majesty...!

304

Greetings to Your Majesty.

305

Drag her out. Cane her eighty times and transfer her to the Workhouse!

306

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I admit my mistakes!

307

Forgive me! Your Majesty!

308

Noble Lady Wei indeed was a palace maid before.

309

But after becoming my Noble Lady, no servant is allowed to belittle her.

310

Hit her outside and let everyone see it.

311

Men, drag her away!

312

I really admit my mistakes! Your Majesty, have mercy!

313

Noble Lady Wei! Noble Lady Wei! I beg you to save me!

314

Noble Lady Wei! Noble Lady Wei! I beg you to save me!

315

Noble Lady! Your Majesty, have mercy! Noble Lady Wei!

316

Save me, Mistress!

317

When did you become this weak?

318

You dare to allow a servant to climb over you?

319

Your Majesty, she's the servant of the late Empress.

320

She was once my colleague.

321

You were once a servant,

322

but you're now my Noble Lady.

323

You must remember that.

324

Don't embarrass me.

325

Yes.

326

Noble Lady Wei, congratulations.

327

Sister Mingyu, go beg for leniency from our Mistress on Hupo's behalf.

328

She already knows her mistake. She really does!

329

The one she offended this time is His Majesty.

330

If His Majesty wants to use her to establish his might, Mistress won't be able to do anything about it either!

331

- Tell Hupo to serve me later.

- Tell Hupo to serve you?

332

Right. Let her attend to me closely.

333

But she keeps slacking off. Can she attend to you well?

334

I definitely want her to slack off.

335

The more she slacks off, the better.

336

Have you all personally seen it?

337

That is the consequence for anyone who dares to slack off in serving our mistress.

338

From now on, whoever dares to offend the superior will be seeking his own death.

339

We dare not! We dare not!

340

We dare not! We dare not!

341

Have you recovered from your cold?

342

Greetings to Your Majesty.

343

How come it's you?

344

I came to greet the Empress Dowager.

345

Empress Dowager went to change her clothes. I was here waiting.

346

Who did His Majesty mistake me for?

347

No one.

348

Your Majesty, I heard that the Empress Dowager developed a liking for a book lately.

349

She would ask Noble Lady Wei to come here every day to narrate it to her.

350

But, Noble Lady Wei is sick.

351

I then thought the Empress Dowager must be desiring to listen to the story.

352

Hence, I took the initiative to memorize the book.

353

Although it was just some love story between a scholar and a beauty,

354

it indeed has its distinctive style.

355

I still have to do something. I'll get going now.

356

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Don't you want to listen to it anymore?

357

I've memorized it for a long time, Your Majesty!

358

Empress Dowager, what are you laughing about?

359

I'm laughing that there is finally a tremendously-skilled girl

360

that has arrived here in our palace.

361

Without a word or movement, she was able to hook the soul of the Emperor away!

362

You're talking about Imperial Concubine Shu?

363

Imperial Concubine Shu?

364

Imperial Concubine Shu, where did we stop earlier?

365

Continue with the story.

366

Is Noble Lady Wei still sick?

367

Yes.

368

Tell Ye Tianshi to treat her.

369

Yes.

370

Your Majesty, even if you don't say it,

371

the Imperial Medical Academy will surely do their best to treat Noble Lady Wei.

372

Forget it. No need to go.

373

Return to Yangxin Palace.

374

Transport His Majesty back to Yangxin Palace!

375

No. Go to Yanxi Palace.

376

Go to Yanxi Palace!

377

Is that the scent of Cape jasmine? (T/N Gardenia jasminoides, originally from the Cape in Africa, "gardenia")

378

It seems so.

379

Your Majesty.

380

Where's Noble Lady Wei?

381

Noble Lady took some medicine and is already sleeping upstairs.

382

Why didn't she sleep inside her room?

383

Replying to Your Majesty, Noble Lady Wei ordered people to transfer some Cape jasmine into the garden.

384

When the mild wind blows by, the fragrance will spread.

385

Noble Lady is afraid of the heat, so after admiring them, she fell asleep upstairs.

386

She said that not only will it be cooler, there's also fragrance blowing from time to time.

387

Acting so arbitrarily.

388

No wonder you get sick from cold wind exposure!

389

Who allowed you to sleep here?

390

Your Majesty?

391

Is it that surprising to see me?

392

I--

393

Your Majesty, this is not appropriate by the rules.

394

Whatever I do is appropriate by the rules.

395

All of you, leave...withdraw!

396

Miss Mingyu, why are you so slow?

397

Come on. Stop looking, stop looking!

398

Mingyu?

399

Mingyu!

400

You go patrol somewhere else. Here, give that to me.

401

Why are you alone here?

402

What has happened?

403

I think I've made a mistake.

404

In this world, who doesn't make mistakes?

405

No. You don't understand!

406

If I don't understand, you can explain it to me.

407

If I didn't say anything,

408

Yingluo would have successfully been able to leave the palace when she reaches twenty-five years old.

409

She's a person who can obtain bliss wherever she goes,

410

but I've now personally destroyed her happiness!

411

I caused her to forever get locked up here in the Forbidden City.

412

It's my fault.

413

Mingyu, you didn't mean for it to become like this.

414

No. I did it deliberately.

415

Noble Consort Chun kept bullying me.

416

I couldn't accept it and wanted to seek justice,

417

so I dragged Yingluo down with me.

418

I'm so despicable. I'm a very vicious person!

419

You are absolutely not that kind of person!

420

Stop blaming yourself!

421

I don't know what Noble Consort Chun did to you

422

that you were forced to be at an impasse.

423

But from now on, if you need any help from me,

424

I surely will do my best.

425

Really?

426

I... It's better that I don't trouble you.

427

I'm a man of a my word.

428

If you have any trouble, just come seek me.

429

Hailancha, thank you.

430

You're really a good person.

431

In this life, I will be very grateful to you.

432

Congratulations, Noble Lady Wei!

433

Noble Lady, His Majesty just left.

434

Her Highness the Empress has rewarded you with a lot of gifts.

435

Noble Consort Chun also sent some afterwards.

436

Noble Lady, you finally have achieved success.

437

You may all leave now.

438

Yingluo, are you happy?

439

I'm one step closer to my goal.

440

Of course, I'm happy.

441

Not only you are working hard, I will work hard too.

442

Mingyu, what did you do?

443

I will slowly grow up to become your right-hand aide.

444

As long it can help you, I'm willing to do anything.

445

You're so great. You said that you'll obtain the Emperor's favor.

446

Now, you've done it.

447

- Did I say anything wrong?

- You think

448

that success is just earning the favor of the Emperor?

449

- But...

- His Majesty now just treats me as a novel toy.

450

In a few days, he'll forget about me.

451

Unless I walk into his heart.

452

I'm still very far from toppling

453

Noble Consort Chun.

454

Your Highness the Empress, Wei Yingluo has been attending to His Majesty in bed for three successive days.

455

Her eyes have now grown above her head. (T/N acting high and mighty, above others)

456

Look, what time is it already?

457

She still hasn't come here to greet you.

458

Maybe Noble Lady Wei got delayed by some matter.

459

What do you mean, delayed? She clearly has become arrogant from being favored.

460

She was, after all, a palace maid once.

461

She is so unruly.

462

In my opinion, Your Highness the Empress should send a momo there

463

and lecture her well.

464

Imperial Concubine Shu, whoever His Majesty favors is his choice.

465

Other than obeying it,

466

we all mustn't say more.

467

If today you're the one that His Majesty favors

468

and I then send someone to lecture you,

469

what then did I become?

470

Your Highness the Empress, you also shouldn't say it that way.

471

Among the four womanly virtues of morality, speech, appearance, and craft, morality comes first.

472

For such a disrespectful and unruly lady like that,

473

if we allow her to be frequently by His Majesty's side, it will induce trouble sooner or later.

474

Your Highness the Empress, you mustn't become lenient in handling the palace affairs.

475

Her Highness is benevolent. She won't lower herself to the level of a little Noble Lady.

476

But if she steps beyond her boundaries and induces trouble, that is not a minor matter anymore.

477

Your Highness, it's better to guard against it as soon as possible.

478

Your Highness the Empress!

479

Your Highness the Empress, I'm done collecting the morning dew.

480

When Her Highness the Empress had not yet risen,

481

Noble Lady Wei had already arrived.

482

She saw that Her Highness still needed to wash up, she then went to the garden and collected some dew first

483

to be used in Her Highness' tea.

484

Noble Lady Wei is really very diligent

485

in serving Her Highness the Empress.

486

This is part of my duty.

487

Okay already. Since you all have greeted me today,

488

you all can go back now.

489

I will take my leave.

490

Your Highness, look at what they've said earlier. So outrageous.

491

His Majesty has just visited her a few times.

492

Each one is like a black-eyed chicken, showing off their ugly side.

493

But His Majesty has indeed never successively had one Imperial consort attend to him in bed.

494

It's no wonder that everyone is getting anxious.

495

Looks like that Wei Yingluo is indeed a rival to be contended with?

496

No matter how beautiful a flower is, you'll eventually get sick looking at it.

497

His Majesty has seen so many women.

498

No matter how able Wei Yingluo is, how long can she keep him by her side?

499

Only short-sighted women like those

500

would get so agitated.

501

Anyway, no matter how they fight,

502

Your Highness has already sat on the offering stage. Just let them fight then.

503

The fiercer, the better.

504

Greetings to Your Highness the Imperial Concubine Jia.

505

I thought it would be some world-renowned beauty,

506

but you look so ordinary.

507

Let's go.

508

That is the younger sister of the previous Imperial Concubine Jia?

509

Yes. Upon entering the palace, she immediately got conferred a Noble Lady title.

510

In less than two years, she became the lead mistress of her palace.

511

Now, other than Noble Consort Chun, she and Imperial Concubine Shu are the favorite consorts.

512

This younger Imperial Concubine Jia is so arrogant and overbearing because of it.

513

But, during the birthday banquet,

514

she got sick and got left behind in the palace.

515

She indeed is tender and beautiful. Compared to the past Imperial Concubine Jia,

516

she indeed is way better.

517

There are so many women in the Imperial harem, yet she was able to stand out.

518

It means she's outstanding in some aspect.

519

- Where does she live now?

- Chuxiu Palace.

520

Looks like she treats me as her enemy.

521

His Majesty has let you attend to his bed for three successive days.

522

It can't be helped for you to become the enemy of everyone. You must be careful.

523

Lan'er!

524

Go and tell Chief Steward Li

525

that I'm sick, and it's very grave!

526

If I don't see His Majesty soon, I'll die!

527

- Mistress, I don't think that's a good idea.

- What's wrong with it!

528

Didn't that bitch fool His Majesty like that?

529

How come I can't do the things she did?

530

- Mistress—

- Go! Go! Quickly go do it!

531

Yes.

532

Useless people.

533

- Wait.

- All of you, stop!

534

What's going on here?

535

You, come over here.

536

What's going on?

537

Replying to Your Majesty, Noble Lady Wei said that the weather is too hot.

538

She ordered people to set up a reed mat like this

539

on the paths that Your Majesty regularly take.

540

The reed mats were all old and unused reed mats in the Imperial Household Department.

541

It just needs some effort to set up. Not much money was spent.

542

Attendants are all staying under it to cool down and rest.

543

Everyone in the palace is grateful to her.

544

Fine. Leave first.

545

Continue moving!

546

Go to Yanxi Palace.

547

Yes. Turn around to Yanxi Palace.

548

Lan'er, put more powder here.

549

If my face is too red, I will look too ugly.

550

Yes.

551

Here.

552

Under the eyes, put some eyebrow liner, the dark blue one.

553

- Okay.

- Okay...

554

Very good. Hurry!

555

Mistress, His Majesty was about to reach Chuxiu Palace.

556

But in an instant, he turned around and went to Yanxi Palace.

557

What!

558

His Majesty rushed to Yanxi Palace.

559

Vixen... You vixen!

560

You dare to steal His Majesty from me?

561

Wei Yingluo!

562

- Mistress.

- I'm so angry! Don't touch me!

563

Greetings, Your Majesty.

564

Where is Wei Yingluo?

565

She lured me here, but she doesn't know how to come out and welcome me?

566

- Your Majesty, Noble Lady is not inside the palace.

- What?

567

Noble Lady said that the weather is too hot today, so she went out for a stroll.

568

Where did she go?
