Boss

thank you

If it wasn't for your golden silk vest

perhaps little brother won't be able to see boss again

There is no use of me wearing this golden silk vest

I am not holding grudge against anyone in this world

And there is no one wanting to hurt me

On the contrary, although you have a high position

and everyone respects you very much

maybe there are people that wish to harm you

Just take it

it is yours now

Since you care so much for me

I'm going to keep it with me

Do you know the background of this golden silk vest?

I only know that it is rewarded to Oboi by the previous emperor

This golden silk vest

is the personal belonging of Chong Zhen Emperor of Ming Dynasty

This Chong Zhen Emperor was suspicious in nature

He was so afraid that he will be assassinated

Therefore, he spent much money

buying such a treasure from overseas

Unfortunately, he had lost the world in the end

He was hanged to death at Coal Hill

He was just like Oboi

he had ruled the world once

but isn't he a prisoner now too?

Therefore, even the person in charge of the world

can't rely on any treasure to protect oneself

He must rule the world by practising good deed.

As long as the world is in peace

the emperor will only be in peace

Brother Long

the way you talk seriously

does look like an emperor

What do you mean that I look like an emperor?

I am the emperor

- Yes - Moreover...

I will do as I promised

Boss, what is the matter with you?

Are you doing fine?

I'm fine... Maybe it is the...

Perhaps it is due to the poison from the pill

That... What should we do?

I've already ordered Songgotu to go and check out on Oboi's residence

in order for him to find the antidote of the pill

No...

This Songgotu

he went to look for it

Even though he sees it, he won't be able to know

Otherwise... why don't you let me go?

Let me search for it myself?

No, but judging from your condition

can you hold on to it?

Actually, when I just came

I've eaten the medicine prepared by my brother

Although it can't cure the poison completely

but it can lessen it a bit

Just let me rest for a while

I feel much better now, it shouldn't be a problem

Are you doing fine?

In that case, just take my royal plate quickly

and search Oboi's residence

Brother Long

as I look for the antidote

if I happen to see some treasure

can I take some?

Boss

you've chosen so many treasures in the treasure room

are you not satisfied yet?

Money is a good thing

but it is even better to have more

You...

you really like treasure

So

Brother Long, does it mean that you've agreed to it?

Thank you, brother Long

In this case, when I have a big fortune

I'll take you to the Capital's First Restaurant in the future

to eat something nice, what do you think?

Fine

So, we have decided on it

Lady assistant, these are all prepared for you

Come... have a taste

It should taste good

Please calculate this

- It is delicious - Is it good?

Delicious...

- Ten pieces of emerald - Just eat

This way

It is indeed delicious

Uncle

this is the list of the confiscated items...

- Please have a look - Good

The antidote of the pill

we've searched thoroughly in every corner

from the inside to the outside of the residence

but we can't find it

How is this possible?

The antidote of pill is the most important thing

His Majesty had ordered us to find it out no matter what

Continue to search for it

Yes

I'm going to lead the people myself

to search for it again

Go quickly

You...

- Go - Yes

Lady assistant

this is the list of the confiscated items

Please have a look

and browse through it

There is no need to look at it

This isn't right

Wrong?

Which part of it is wrong?

Lady assistant

This list

it is definitely wrong

Is this wrong?

Fine

Lady assistant

can I speak to you in private?

Fine

Go

- I'm here to meet sir - Fine, let's go...

- Yes - Go

Sir Songgotu

you can speak out your mind

There are so many treasures

they can't be seen even in the treasure room of the palace

Lady assistant

you have a very good eyesight

for being able to see that the account doesn't tally

To be frank to you

these two boxes of treasure

aren't listed in the account

Both of us coming to Oboi's residence

we are not here for nothing, right?

Let us forge the account

and divide these two boxes of treasure

What do you think?

Divide them?

Isn't this not good?

Why is this not good?

His Majesty has ordered us to come and search Oboi's residence

His Majesty wants to reward us an opportunity of earning the fortune

Don't you get that?

You've a point, in that case, we don't have to be courteous with His Majesty

Yes

Why do we have to be so courteous with His Majesty?

In that case, just find a man later

to help me to transport this box to Yong Le Home

No problem

I'll handle it

You don't have to worry

So, lady assistant

do these accounts have any problem?

It is not right

it is still not right

What... Is it still wrong?

Lady assistant

which part of it is still wrong?

This...

It is wrong

Fine

You're very good

Come

come with me

Lady assistant

this is the last box of treasure that I keep

which isn't listed on the account

It is not here either

Where exactly did Oboi keep the copper box?

Lady assistant

this is the last box of treasure

Initially, I want to keep it

to be given to other Dukes and ministers

Just think on your own

we had been assigned such assignment of confiscating Oboi's residence

how many eyes are there in the court staring at us?

We can't pretend that we don't know the rules, can we?

Yes, Sir Songgotu

Although I don't know very well of

the complicated business in the court

but I realise that

we must learn to share

instead of eating alone

Or else, it will spell disaster for us, right?

Yes

Lady assistant is brilliant

no wonder His Majesty adores you so much

In that case, is this account correct?

This account has no problem

but I haven't found the antidote yet

Yes

This antidote is not yet been found

Oboi, this sly thief is really cunning

If we can't find the antidote

how are we going to explain to His Majesty?

Sir Songgotu, what do you think if we do it this way?

You send your subordinate

to go and interrogate the people from Oboi's residence

Ask them there is any secret room or anything similar inside Oboi's home

If there is any secret room

Yes

Why don't I think of this idea?

Lady assistant is far smarter than I am

In that case, let us put this here first...

- and find the antidote - Yes

Lady assistant, look at this

This trap is very unique

I wonder how many treasures are hidden here

Perhaps the antidote of the pill is hidden in it

Sir Songgotu, this trap is very complicated

we're not able to open it

Useless thing

A bunch of useless things

Can't you handle such little matter well?

I'm telling you

I'll give you two more hours

if you can't open it

I'll chop off your useless hands

- Chop them, do you understand? - Yes, we're trying to open it...

Sir Songgotu

don't get so agitated

I think they're unable to open it

because you are standing here

Just think, they're nervous with you standing here

They won't be able to open it for sure when they're nervous

Or else, what if we do it this way?

You head outside

to rest and drink some tea

Let me supervise them

Perhaps they can open it in no time

Fine. In that case, lady assistant, please help me supervise them first

Fine

Listen here!

You have to listen to lady assistant's arrangement

Yes...

Lady assistant

this trap is designed in such a unique way

We really don't have the strength to open it

- Yes... that is right - Let me have a look

- Please go ahead - Take a look at it

Lady assistant

do you know how to open a trap too?

Be quiet

Do not tell anybody regarding this matter

If I can't open this trap

both of your hands will be chopped off

Yes... We won't tell anybody...

If I can't open it

don't blame me

It can't be... Surely you can do it

Please go ahead...

I send my prayer to God

hopefully I'll be blessed to open it

Now that we've already helped Kang Xi to capture Oboi

we've earned his total trust

I believe that not long after this

Sister Huan will get the copper box

It is a surprise that

this plan is going on smoothly

Over these 10 years

the task that we hadn't been able to complete

has been completed by you unexpectedly in these few months

Looks like you and Yi Huan are really the lucky charms of our Ming Dynasty

blessed by the God

Wait until we get the copper box

and after junior Fan with junior Ye

gain the first golden key

we will be able to retrieve the treasure map

Then we can recruit more members

At that time

the great ambition of recovering Ming Dynasty

will be realised

What is the matter, godfather?

There is one thing

that is hidden in my heart for so many years

I'm going to tell you now

and you have to keep it in your heart as well

You can't tell anybody

Godfather, please go ahead and tell me

I'll definitely keep it a secret

Do you know

why I let you capture Sun Fu alive?

In order to eliminate the treacherous gang

and at the same time to pursue the whereabouts of 2nd brother, Si Xing

Do you know why I'm so anxious to meet Si Xing?

Second brother Si Xing is godfather's flesh and blood

he had followed godfather to war fields back then

and earned himself many credits

The second brother is now missing

godfather is determined to look for him

of course it is due to the affection of a father towards his son

It is human nature

I'm anxious to find Si Xing

not only because he is my son

Do you know

the second golden key embedded with agate

was in my possession at that time

When I was covering the previous emperor to escape back then

I knew that I will die

so I passed the golden key to Si Xing

Godfather, are you saying

that the second golden key

went missing just like the second brother?

I had the chance to save my wife and daughter at that time

but...

Just hand me the crown prince

give your seat to Princess Consort Jin

Your Majesty

you can't do that

I beg you and the Empress

to get in the carriage quickly

I've

already prepared a carriage for my wife

Father

how dare you let mother and sister...

The other carriage is going to arrive soon

Just now, Your Majesty allowed mother to get in the carriage

but you refused it

You knew clearly that

Wu San Gui is going to break through the city very soon

What?

Do you wish to leave mother and sister just like that?

The country is in a great trouble now

I can't consider much of our own house

Father, but...

There is no but!

Execute the military order!

Mother!

Little sister!

From now onwards

you're no longer my father

In this way

in our hands now

there is only Prince Yan Ping's third golden key left

Even if we find the copper box and the first golden key

it is of no use

Many years have passed

this matter

has been weighing me down

I don't dare to tell anyone

but now

I have no choice but to report to crown prince honestly

It is my fault

that I delayed the great ambition of recovering Ming Dynasty

Godfather, please don't ever say that

For the sake of our Ming Dynasty, godfather

had sacrificed enough for my people of surname Zhu

Godfather

after we find the copper box and the first golden key

we will investigate the whereabouts of the second brother together

There is no news of Si Xing for so many years

I suspect that

he is no longer alive now

Otherwise, he purposely hides

in order to punish me for being cruel back then

Godfather

we will find the second brother

And I believe that

one day

he will understand the reason you did that

God

will bless our Ming Dynasty

Grandmother

she is just a second class female attendant

how dare she hits His Majesty?

Even more surprisingly

His Majesty isn't pursuing the matter

and make an exception by assigning her

the position of a lady assistant

His Majesty really adores her

This is ridiculous

ridiculous

A small lady assistant

dares to hit His Majesty in front of the crowd

Li De Fu

- This... - What is the matter?

Are you afraid of His Majesty putting the blame on you?

So you dare not tell the truth?

Report to Your Highness

it is not that I don't dare to speak the truth

At that time

I and Sir Songgotu

together with the internal guards in the palace

were all kneeling on the ground with our heads bowed down

We just heard a loud crackling sound

But we didn't see clearly of the incident

What about other people?

Didn't they see it too?

This...

I don't know

In that case, the sound of the palm

did His Majesty hit himself?

Of course not

In that case, was it His Majesty that hit Li Yi Huan?

It wasn't like this either

What is it like, then?

You had better come clean

Tell me about the incident

Your Highness

I'm just telling the truth

At that time...

I really didn't see

that Li Yi Huan had slapped His Majesty

His Majesty had also given strict order to prevent us from discussing it

that is why I dare not speculate wildly

You're a sly old man.

Li De Fu

it seems that

you have aged

You didn't see

the things that you're supposed to see

Please forgive me, Your Highness

it is my fault

I beg Your Highness to punish me

Li De Fu, you're considered as the senior in this palace

Please go ahead and say it, if a person offends His Majesty

what punishment does he deserve?

Report to Your Highness

the act of offending His Majesty

it is a death sentence

What about hitting His Majesty?

This...

I've been in the palace for over 30 years

but I haven't seen such courageous

man, not knowing of his own life and death

That is why there is no previous example to be referred to

It's obvious that the offender should be sentenced to a cruel punishment

and his entire family to be killed

Li De Fu

if it wasn't the Empress reporting to me

I think you're still there pretending to be deaf and dumb

It is my fault...

Li De Fu, Li De Fu

you've served me for the entire 30 years

do you know what worries me the most?

And the thing that scares me the most?

I don't dare to speculate wildly

Oboi monopolising the administration

worries me

But I'm not afraid

Wu San Gui

having too much military power

worries me

but I'm not afraid either

The thing that scares me the most in this palace

is the existence of a sly lady like Consort Donggo

I'm afraid that a woman like this will destroy His Majesty

and destroy our Qing Dynasty

Your Highness

please don't worry

That Li Yi Huan can't be like Consort Donggo

She is from Hanchu

Moreover, she has an engagement since she was small

Once her fiance comes back from his trip

Li Yi Huan will leave the palace and get married

What's with this identity of Hanchu?

What's with her getting engaged?

Hai Lan Zhu had married someone else at that time

but didn't Tai Zong Emperor love her dearly?

Consort Donggo is just the same

She was the wife of the previous emperor's brother

Didn't the previous emperor get attracted to her very much?

This Li Yi Huan

compared to Hai Lan Zhu

Consort Donggo

she really is capable of doing that

How dare she hits His Majesty?

His Majesty can even put up with this

this shows clearly that His Majesty has pampered her too much

Li De Fu

this is such a great matter

But it is a surprise that you didn't report it to me

I'm the one who should be blamed...

But I'm indeed innocent

This Li Yi Huan

after she enters the palace

I don’t see that she receives much of His Majesty's attention

She was just appointed as the second class female attendant

But

who can think of today's circumstance?

It is clear that this Li Yi Huan

is a dangerous woman

Grandmother

you can't let go of this Li Yi Huan

or else

I'm afraid that the thing worries you

will happen again

Don’t worry

As long as I'm here

no matter who she is

she won't be able to create such a mess

It has been two hours

lady assistant, can you manage it?

Don't rush me

I'm afraid that our hands won't survive

Yes

Can you be not so desperate?

I have a premonition

that I'm going to open it very soon

Very soon

Are you serious?

It has been two hours, can you manage it?

- Oh God, look - It is opened!

I did it...

Lady assistant

you're brilliant

Lady assistant, it is such a surprise

that you know the way to open a trap

It is unbelievable, please

- No... - Have a rest

I don't know how to open a trap

I was previously...

Didn't His Majesty arrange me

to become a spy at Oboi's residence?

I had seen it a few times

So I tried to open it as I had seen it before

Look, I only manage to open it after dealing with it for two hours

Lady assistant, it is a surprise

that you had only seen it once

but you're able to remember the technique

This is unbelievable

You're really smart

Come, let us rest for a while

Oboi is defeated now

what is my brother's response?

It is possible that he is controlled by Oboi's pill

so it is not necessary that he willingly serves Oboi

He did that to survive

by becoming Oboi's spy

Now that Oboi has been jailed in prison

and he didn't mention of him

We didn't expose him as well

So, Kang Xi never suspected him before

His life in the palace now

is considered to be in peace

In that case

if I tell him my identity

based on your observation towards him

do you think that he will recognise me as his brother?

Do you think that he will give up on evil and turn to the bright side

and join our alliance of recovering Ming Dynasty?

This is hard to tell

I've tested him for a few times

He seems lonely at times

it seems that he misses his long lost family very much

But since he has lived in the palace for decades

he has already turned numb and sleek

Moreover, he has money and status nowadays

I'm guessing he won't give up all for the family bond with godfather

Give up all the things

that he has

Fine

In that case...

We will take our time to observe him again

Lady assistant

both of you, please send back the smith...

- and reward them - Yes

I can't imagine that

in this Oboi's secret room

the treasure is more than in the palace

That is right

Sir Songgotu

why don't we do it this way?

Both of us choose some first

and then we will record the rest of them into account

What do you think?

Investigating the case with lady assistant

is really thrilling

You go that side, I will choose from this side, what do you think?

Let's get to work

At last, my effort has paid off

Finally, I have it in my hands

Brother Zhu

I'll see if you dare call me stupid again

Lady assistant

are you done choosing the treasure?

- Of course - Why don't you choose more?

No... I've chosen enough

Sir Songgotu, why don't you continue to choose some more?

I...

I remember now

- It is not right - What is the matter?

We haven't found the antidote of the pill yet

How are we going to explain to His Majesty?

In that case, do you want to take your men

to continue searching for it?

It is getting late

I've chosen enough

I should leave first

Fine. In that case, let me send you outside

- Come... - Thank you, Sir Songgotu

- Fine... - Slowly...

Imperial Physician Li

Grand Empress Dowager is not feeling well

Imperial Physician Li, please go over and have a look immediately

Fine, I'm going now

When eunuch retires and goes back to the village

will you go back to Shaanxi, Yulin to spend your remaining life?

I won't go back

A village without any family members

is it still considered as a village?

Eunuch, in this world

don’t you have any relatives left?

Originally, I had a twin brother

But I haven't received any news of him for decades

I'm afraid that he is dead long ago in the chaos

What if eunuch's brother is lucky

to be alive?

How is that possible?

In this world

is it possible for such a good thing to happen?

Let's go quickly, Grand Empress Dowager is waiting

It seems that he is still longing for a family bond, right?

If godfather comes out to reconcile with him

he will definitely be surprised, won't he?

Eunuch

when Grand Empress Dowager gets sick

it always been the chief of Imperial Medical Institution treats her himself

Why did her summon the least experienced imperial physician today?

I'm not too sure about this

Perhaps that the chief thinks that you're young

but you're equipped with great medical skills

so Grand Empress Dowager has noticed you?

Eunuch

this doesn't seem to be the road to Cining Palace, isn't it?

Grand Empress Dowager isn't at Cining Palace

Don't ask that much

Just follow me

Eunuch

Grand Empress Dowager is summoning me to treat her illness

she doesn't have other concerns, does she?

For the sake of us coming from the same village and surname

can you disclose a little to me?

You've thought too much

You had saved His Majesty

Perhaps Grand Empress Dowager wants to reward you?

Thank you, Eunuch

Let's go, shall we?

Noble Lady Li, I wish you well

I wish you well too, Eunuch Li

Noble Lady Li, I wish you well

Imperial physician Li, there is no need to be courteous

Thank you, Noble Lady Li

Master

something happened to eldest senior

I'm going to Yong Le Home to inform Yi Huan

You have to be careful

if it isn't necessary

don't expose your own identity

I understand

I've searched everywhere

but it ends up so easy for me
