Episode 48

Senior Maid Servant Xu, Imperial Physician Shen is here.

Imperial Physician Shen, this way, please.

Alright.

Princess Consort, Imperial Physician Shen is here.

Greetings, Princess Consort.

Thank you for coming.

It’s my honor.

Imperial Physician Shen, please come in.

Thank you, Princess Consort.

Senior Maid Servant Xu, you can leave with her.

Yes, Princess Consort.

- Please take a seat. - After you.

You specifically sent someone to summon me here.

Are you feeling unwell?

I’m feeling much better.

I have something to ask you.

Princess Consort, please speak. I will be blunt.

You watched me grow up too.

I didn’t imagine you would

help Great Prince to lie to me.

I was afraid.

This was also Great Prince’s painstaking efforts for you.

I was not willing to see you take the risks too.

Is there really no cure?

Imperial Physician Shen, is everything’s fine?

Thank you, Princess Consort, for your concerns.

Imperial Physician Shen, please have your tea.

Alright. Thank you.

Princess Consort,

in order for you to recuperate and prolong your life, Great Prince

has already provided ice silk flower for you to consume.

This medicine is rare, potent and cold by nature.

There are very few medicines in this world that can contend with it.

Even if I escape death, I want to take the risk too.

Imperial Physician Shen, if you don’t agree, I will find someone else.

Even if I search for all physicians in this kingdom, I will still attain this intention.

Princess Consort bared your soul for Great Prince.

How can I make excuses?

It’s just that I watched you grow up.

There’s something I need to tell you.

Please be direct.

You are finally here.

I didn’t want to come.

I have always maintained moral integrity

and can’t smell this foul odor.

I will leave after I’m done talking.

The Empress said,

the Emperor and Empress Dowager are preparing to take actions.

They need to finish it with a single blow.

Go back and tell your Master to use the housekeeping abilities and exert your strengths.

Come up with a good plan and contact me later.

You must think carefully.

The day, the heir is born, it may be a princess consort.

Even if there’s a glimmer of hope,

I won’t give up too.

Since you are so determined,

I can only use my lifetime skills

to think of a solution to seek a chance for you.

But if Great Prince finds out about this,

my life will be gone.

Imperial Physician Shen’s kindness is like rebirth.

I’m very grateful.

I will always remember it in my heart.

Even if there’s any mishap,

I will find a safe place for you

- and won’t bring any disaster to you too. - Alright.

I will wait for your assignment.

Thank you very much, Imperial Physician Shen.

I will wait for you at the palace.

Thank you, Imperial Physician Shen.

- A’Yue, escort Imperial Physician Shen out. - Yes.

I’m leaving.

Take care.

Princess Consort, you are entering the palace again?

Imperial Physician Shen has a way to eliminate my severe pathogenic cold.

However, I need to stay in the palace for a few days to receive daily acupuncture.

This is great. Don’t even talk about a few days. It’s worth it even for several months.

Here.

Take care.

Do you have raw buns?

Yes. Come with me.

Come and watch this.

[Confectionary]

After you.

This way.

After you.

There’s a letter.

Whether it’s inside or outside the palace, everything has been prepared.

It’s written very clearly in this sachet.

Make sure to send someone to Prince of Anping.

Alright. Be careful with the Empress.

Don’t worry. I can’t stay for long.

If you need to find me, use the same old method

I got it,

[Chao Yang Hall]

Why is Jing’er’s face so sickly?

There’s no energy of a dragon’s son.

He’s just like a sick cat.

Nanny, take the little prince for a rest.

Yes.

You can leave too.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, what happened?

It’s regarding Xiao Qi, Prince Yuzhang.

He looked for me today

and requested to be discharged as an official.

And allow him to return to the camp in Ningshuo.

Did you agree?

Should I learn from my royal father and Wang Lin

and detain him in the palace?

Your Majesty, what do you mean?

I was thinking. If I release Prince Yuzhang and let him return to Ningshuo,

he will be stationed far away at the north border.

Perhaps, he won’t be a threat to us.

Your Highness, are you clueless?

You are back.

Why are you not asleep yet?

What’s wrong?

I dare not sleep if you are not back.

Why?

Today, for no reasons, a dead bird fell from the roof.

Something like this even happened?

Could this be an omen?

Everything’s fine.

Perhaps, it’s just a coincidence.

I don’t know why. The autumn hunt that you are participating,

I keep feeling uneasy.

When you were fighting in the battle field, I was never that nervous.

No matter what, you must be extra careful.

Don’t worry. I will.

Stop crying, Jing’er. Be good.

Stop crying. Why does this child keeps crying?

Alright. Stop crying, Jing’er.

Stop crying. I’m going crazy.

Stop crying.

Your Highness,

His Majesty will be staying with Concubine Rong tonight.

He won’t be coming here?

Fine, he won’t be coming here.

Cry, cry, cry.

You only know how to cry. You are a ghost who takes lives.

Why are you still standing here? Scram.

- Yes. - Leave.

Your Highness, don’t worry.

Was I born to owe him in life?

I wanted to point at Jing’er to secure my position in the palace

but I didn’t expect His Majesty to be further and further away from me.

You saw that slut always being intimate with His Majesty. I-

He’s always hanging out with that Concubine Rong.

She can’t wait to visit Chao Yang Hall with ulterior motives.

Don’t even talk about spending the night.

If this continues, what should I do?

Your Highness, be patient.

Everything will get better.

Fine. I will listen to you.

I will be more patient

but will Jing’er get better

and His Majesty come back to me?

But when will this end?

You are back.

So how? Did you meet?

The news have spread.

Seems like the water level has slightly decreased.

Based on the deployment by Prince Jiang Xia, these three dams have been repaired.

The flood at River Xuan has been contained. As the the lower River Qi,

it’s also led by Su Yibo and the rest to divert the canals.

It’s expected to be completed within five days.

- Does Su Yibo has enough manpower? - Yes.

Thanks to the young lady from the Gu family for helping us to assemble thousands of laborers,

the tunneling speed has increased.

The young lady from Gu family is here again.

Go and check there.

Yes.

Miss Gu, thank you very much.

Boiling wine by the lake is not that interesting.

I heard that you are a good drinker.

I wonder if you will get used to our fine wines.

Although this wine is light

but it has an unforgettable nice lingering aftertaste and aroma.

If you like this, please drink more.

It’s cooler in autumn. Might as well use this to warm the body.

I will borrow this credit as a toast to you.

If we are born in humble families, perhaps, we could live more freely,

The gentry has their own bitterness and the humble people has their own difficulties.

Whatever kind of background, whatever kind of situation,

whatever kind of fate,

it’s difficult for us to choose and be happy.

But using whatever ways to face such unhappiness in life,

it’s how we can handle them.

I didn’t expect something so sophisticated would come out from a young lady’s mouth.

I’m already of marriageable age. I’m no longer a young lady.

Come, let’s drink.

His Majesty gave his consent for me to resign.

Once I’m back from the hunting ground, we will return to Ningshuo.

Alright.

I will start packing and wait for you to return.

We will never return to the capital again after we leave.

Don’t regret.

What’s there to miss in this place?

If you follow me, you will only go through hardships and be frugal.

Do you think this will scare me?

Forget about leaving me here alone.

Alright then.

In the future, you will travel everywhere with me and live a wandering life.

Let’s look a for picturesque place and build a small house

and pick chrysanthemum under the eastern fence.

We will view the South Mountain leisurely .

- Just the both of us. - Just the both of us.

Like this today.

The same in our lifetime.

Enough, Jingyun. What’s going on?

Great Prince, Princess Consort, I don’t know what’s wrong.

Jingyun is normally well-behaved.

He’s simply refuses to part with Mo Jiao.

He’s not listening to orders.

Even if the horse doesn’t want to be separated,

it’s even more so for humans,

Take it along then.

Yes.

Take Jingyun along.

I’m leaving.

Not giving me a hug before you leave?

Forget it.

Take it that you owe me one.

I will wait for you to hug me when you are back.

Come back soon.

[Jianning]

Your Highness, it’s late.

You should take your medicine and rest early.

I keep thinking that I am wrong.

I should have went to the hunting ground with the Emperor.

Such a big thing.

In the end, he is still young.

I am afraid it’ll be hard for him to face.

Empress Dowager, please rest assure.

As the saying goes, worry causes mistakes.

Although the saying is so,

but in my heart I am not at ease.

Empress Dowager, please be at ease.

Did you forget who entered the palace today, Empress Dowager?

-You are saying A’Wu? -Yes.

Yes, I must have been confused.

Granny Gui, tell A’Wu

think of some way for her to stay in the palace longer.

Before the emperor returns, you are forbidden to let her leave.

Yes. I understand.

A’Wu has been a determined person since young,

if she knows that her husband dies.

She will for sure will do everything she can to revenge.

Imperial Doctor Shen, the color of Chengshan Cave has gone back.

I know.

Using the just finished medicine to rub it on Princess Consort’s back,

after an hour, you can wash.

The water used for bathing has to have this medicine sacket within.

Everyday in the morning has to be like so.

Also, every fire acupuncture for every acupoint is for the main acupoint.

It is hard to endure the pain.

I am afraid you will have to endure a few more days.

Princess Consort, you are suffering too much.

Imperial Doctor Shen, don’t be afraid of anything.

Use the medicine with great dare.

Prince of Anping, you have called me this late, what matter is there?

It obviously is something good, you will know in a moment.

Yes.

Report to Princess Consort, it is already done.

I will come back again at night.

Thank you.

Then we will take our leave.

Thank you.

Princess Consort, eat.

After you finish, you have to greet Empress Dowager.

Not only Empress Dowager, also Emperor.

I also have to prepare a small gift for Crown Prince.

Yes, Princess Consort.

Greetings, Empress Dowager.

We wish you to have a long and happy life.

Everyone rise and have a seat.

Thank you, Empress Dowager.

Princess Consort Yuzhang has arrived!

Greetings, Empress Dowager.

I wish you to have a long and happy life.

Rise and have a seat.

Here, arrange a seat for Princess Consort Yuzhang.

Yes.

Just sit here.

It is hard for Princess Consort Yuzhang to enter the palace.

Sit closer to me.

Thank you, Empress Dowager.

Princess Consort Yuzhang and I are also long-time sisters,

now we have a time to talk.

I heard

you and your husband wish to go to Ningshu for a long time to live there?

Lord does have the idea.

Prince Yuzhang really is outstanding.

He can make our Princess Consort Yuzhang give up wealth, the capital,

Empress Dowager, everything of the past.

You are completely right Empress.

Prince Yuzhang is worth me giving up everything.

My Yong’an Palace has not been this lively in a long time.

Usually when people greet Empress Dowager, they are in small groups.

If you enjoy lively, then we shall come together.

Empress is right.

It is easy for us to come together.

But Princess Consort Yuzhang usually doesn’t live in the palace.

It is hard for her to come.

In between you guys,

there is no one that has lived longer than her in the palace.

Of course.

Princess Consort Yuzhang grew up in the palace as a child.

Exactly.

If she can live longer this time in the palace,

then we can come together to accompany Empress Dowager.

Exactly, we can also listen to sister’s jokes.

This is no longer the palace I grew up in.

Within the laughter, there is fighting hidden.

Those who once protected to me, have already changed.

Aunt is no longer Aunt, she is Empress Dowager.

Sister Wanru is also only Empress.

[Chao Yang Hall]

Sister Wanru.

I have prepared a gift for the little prince,

I don’t know when it is a good time.

Princess Consort Yuzhang, thank you.

How about, you have a seat in my Zhaoyang Hall?

Sure.

I can also have a look at him.

Come with me.

[Chao Yang Hall]

Empress Dowager, in the end you cannot let it go.

After a few days, what situation A’Wu and I will be in,

perhaps.

I still remember the first time I saw A’Wu.

Then, she was still an infant.

Once she saw me, she would smile and smile.

Once I carried her, she peed all over me.

She grew up by my side, and she always followed me.

She also kept fussing she wanted to sleep in my phoenix couch.

Then, I thought,

this girl will for sure be the Empress, my daughter-in-law.

Niece and daughter-in-law, even more close.

So, I cared for her like my daughter.

Actually, Princess Consort Yuzhang has you in her heart too.

I know.

Who else in this world,

when the Eunuch approached me to stab,

without any hesitation block it in front of me.

Brother cannot do it,

the previous emperor cannot do it,

even my children cannot.

But she could.

She did it.

But she doesn’t even call me Aunt anymore.

Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager.

Like an outsider calling me Empress Dowager.

Empress Dowager,

perhaps, there is still a possibility for everything to change?

A’Wu’s and I’s ending, there is already cannot be changed.

If she knows, it was Zilong and I who caused her father’s death,

I am afraid she will avenge me with the rest of our lives.

I for sure will not keep this type of enemy.

Empress Dowager you have been someone with great dare.

This is what you should do.

These days, what good things are there?

Bring them all to Fengchi Palace.

It has come to this.

Let me, her aunt

care for her once more.

Yes, Empress Dowager.

Greetings, Empress, Princess Consort Yuzhang.

Have a seat.

A’Yue, hurry up and bring the prepared gift for the prince.

Yes.

[Long life]

I wish prince to have good luck, be happy and be safe.

I thank Princess Consort Yuzhang on behalf of Jing’er.

Ni Chang, accept it.

Yes.

Wait outside.

Yes.

After we both got married,

we haven’t seen each other alone.

I really miss you.

Sister Wanru, why are you here?

I know you are really bored, so I made you osmanthus cake.

You know me best, Sister.

God really likes to fool around,

then you were Emperor and Empress Dowager’s wanted Princess Consort.

I was arranged by my father and the previous emperor to marry Prince Yuzhang.

Now, we have changed our identities.

We have no take in these.

I hope so much

that everything in the past did not happen.

I am still the A’Wu from before,

you are still the Sister Wanru from before.

The Wanru before has already died in this deep palace.

This place, has destroyed too many families and love.

Is Little Prince crying?

Yes.

I also don’t know why,

ever since he has been born, he cries all day.

Okay, okay, okay don’t cry no more.

Don’t cry no more, good.

Good, good, good, don’t cry.

Greetings, Your Highness, Princess Consort Yuzhang.

What is with Little Prince?

Our Little Prince’s health is weak.

Ever since he has been born, he cries all day without stopping.

The Imperial Doctor has also came to examine and says there is nothing.

Maybe after some time everything will be alright for Jing’er.

Can I carry him?

Sure.

Your Highness, I will go get some clothes for Little Prince to change.

-Go ahead. -Yes.

I also don’t know why,

once I hear his cries, my head hurts.

I only wish that after he grows older, everything will be fine.

It looks like Jing’er really likes you.

In your arms, he is sleeping so peacefully.

Your Highness.

Empress Dowager has asked me to go over again.

Then I will take my leave as well.

It is so hard for Jing’er to sleep this peacefully and not fuss,

accompany him more, alright?

But you have all left, there is only me.

It isn’t too right.

A’Wu, I will come back really soon.

I...
