You went to Xinzheku

My stupid child why are you so stupid

Within this palace whether it's the Qian Xi Si department

Or Xinzheku

They are all the Emperor's palace and his servants it has nothing else to do with you

At the moment

The Emperor is already displeased with the two of us

Within this critical juncture

If you were to do anything wrong And allow someone to use it against you

What do you want your mother to do? you are my only child

I know

But what do i do?

The moment I wake up I immediately want to go there.

Even though there is a thousand, Ten thousand voices telling me That I shouldn't go, that I can go

But I just can't hold myself back

Mother knows

Your teacher also knows

That's why in the beginning We didn't want you to make such a sacrifice

But my son is too honorable

He can't stand seeing others suffer

And so he takes it upon himself To shoulder all of the burdens

Since we've come to this point All you can do is endure it

If not, it's not only going to be you

Even that girl called Lian Er

Most likely, won't have any more good days ahead of her

I have been living in the palace for a long time

Even though I read Buddhist scriptures everyday

But if anyone shall harm my child

I won't just let it go

If necessary I will have that person die

To make things easier on my son

No

Mother please don't hurt her

Then listen to me Don't go on

Mother what are you doing?

Mother is begging you

Ok I promise you

I heard the duke came running to see you

Wang Ye...

Wang Ye asked me about something

Whatever, don't even try. If it really was a small matter Why did he come several days in a row?

Anyway, you didn't even see him

what?

Lian Er I've been seeing this unenergetic expression of yours lately

If you have any feelings you can tell me

I'm worried about you

didn't you say that we are the king's servants

Whether I talk about it or not

What has that got to do with anything

I'm just saying I can tell

your heart really wants to know

If not, you wouldn't be Staring at that door everyday

Looking for his arrival

In this world Whether we're happy or not

We still have to get through the day So why are you making it difficult for yourself?

Wang Ye

cousin what the hell are you doing?

This house isn't warm to begin with

Yet you're standing by the window with the cold wind

I want to remember this type of pain and suffering

I want to take everything that I've been through here

And give it all back to that b****, Yun Pin

Cousin, what's the point in doing so?

By harming your own body Won't cause other people to lose out on anything

How is it going?

cousin I've done what you asked me to

I've had Lian Er and Yu Shu sent to Xinzheku

I'm telling you this Yun Ping's hand

Is very ugly

I heard that none of the servants Dare to go serve her

The Emperor Seem to have been busy with work At the Hall of Mental Cultivation

And so he hasn't been summoning any of his consorts

That's good

Our chances have come

Come closer

Will it really work? It sounds so difficult

Of course it's going to work

Especially if it's to deal with Yun Pin

Who's naturally a suspicious person

you need to be careful careful... really careful

(Sarcasm)I told you to break things I told you to mess up the situation

There's no point in keeping such a useless person in this world Let's just beat her to death

Stop!

come

stand up

what are you doing?

Young Mistress This mute servant girl can't seem to ever do her job right

If we don't teach her a lesson She's going to drag all of us down

She can't speak So even when she makes a mistake

An understanding person would forgive her

I'm telling you right now In the future, If any of you dare to bully her

I will go tell the Empress

And have all of you sent to Xinzheku

Yes

Are you alright?

From now on we are a family

Your problems are my problems I won't let anyone bully you

ok?

Xiao Cheng Zi...Xiao Cheng Zi

Here

Where's my tea?

Su Pei Cheng, you! You're becoming more and more disobedient

My beloved came Yet you didn't even announce her

Your highness don't blame Su Gong Gong

It's because I saw that you were so engrossed in your reading

So I ordered him not to disturb you

I know that Your Majesty is extremely busy

But I... Really missed Your Majesty

That's why I purposely Prepared these iced fruits

To help you switch up your palate

Here. Try this one.

It's thirst quenching

You're too considerate

I won't accompany you

The Emperor is leaving

Everyone listen up

Wait until my hand is healed.

My Great days at the palace will be longer

What kind of people are you

Niang Niang

what were you doing

I was... I was...

Praying for your parents Usually is a good thing

But it's a big taboo To have mahogany figurines in the palace

Your whole family would be sentenced to death If you can't do it right

Niang Niang spare our lives Niang Niang Spare our lives

I was the only one that did this This has nothing to do with my sister

Please let her go

sister you two are sisters

Yes.

My little sister is a mute

She is my only family member

Niang Niang please let her go

I remember You're one of the new maidens

Yes.

lift your head up

Such a pretty face

I understand that you two are loyal to one another

Your sister will stay

But you...

I have other plans for you

Our country was won Through battles on top of horses

Today, whether you're the monarch or an official

win or lose

who hunts the most

Wins one of my royal robes for a prize

Good shot

Greeting's your highness

Rise.

Yes, Your Highness.

Which family do you belong to?

Your Majesty

She is my student

Greeting's your highness...

Rise.

Thank you, Your Highness...

Xiao Cheng, isn't Yun Ping Niang Niang Supposed to be recuperating in the palace?

What is she doing here?

Your Majesty

Don't blame Su Gong Gong I was the one that wanted to come

As you've said before, every time you go out hunting, You want me to be by your side

So now, I'm merely obeying your royal command

You just never stop

You can't hunt with your injured hands

You can only partake in enjoying the wind

Your Highness, I can't hunt,

But my student can

You've witnessed it already

If I may be so bold, As to remind you of your word

And help my disciple Claim one of your royal robes

Alright, I always keep my words

Someone come

-Attendant! -Your servant here

Award him one of my royal robes

Yes, Your Highness.

I find it strange You've been living in the palace

Where did you get a disciple?

How about let her explain it to you

I am Maiden Xu Jia Xi Xiang Greetings Your Majesty

So it's a girl

Your Highness

I think this is the first time in history

That a young girl wears one of the royal robes

Your Highness my hand is injured.

So I haven't been able to serve you

So I've been feeling extremely guilty

Now that I have a disciple to help me And I am able to make Your Majesty smile once

I am able to rest more easily

Your Majesty wouldn't be upset With me for not doing my job?

Why would I? You've helped me Such an intriguing girl

I should be grateful to you instead

Here stand up

(Poem)

Is such a great name

Chang Cun palace is empty You can live there starting today

i am going to make you one of my consorts

Thank you, Your Highness.

We are also part of it...

You guys usually aren't this united

Who would've known that after an accident

You all would be so loyal

Gu Gu just punish me only!

Those who deserve to be punish won't escape punishment

And those innocent won't be unjustly accused

How about this

To remain silent You all must clean this up

Tidy up anything that needs tidying

Fix anything that needs fixing If within three days

You're able to get this place looking as it did before Then I will drop this matter

If not, and the higher ups begin to question this matter

I won't be able to help you Understand?

Never thought that you were this kind

It's all of fault that we weren't nice to you

Gu Gu said we only have three days.

Lets hurry and clean this up.

okay we know quick go on quick go on

this one looks nice greetings your highness

have a look

You are this old and you're still playing with toys.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Here no need to greet me

We're just husband and wife Not monarch and subject

Your Majesty favors me so much

I'm afraid that other maidens are jealous of me

So what if they are jealous

I like you And I want to stay by your side more

I'll play these toys with you.

I'm a grown up

These toys are not for me to play.

then this...

A while back, I saw on a rooftop, there

Sat a little girl

i tried talking to her but she wouldn't talk to me

when it was time to eat she wouldn't come down

Looking at her was very heart breaking

so i thought a child

would like to play with toys

so i prepared some so that she would be happy

The palace doesn't have any kids

If you don't believe me, then lets go and look.

Your Highness, Look!

Daughter

Daughter! Daughter!

Daughter...you!

your highness you know this kid

she is my princess

some one come

Here

Why did you let the princess climb that high?!

Your Majesty We've tried to convince Princess many times

She said she won't come down.

to do what?!

She said to look at her mother.

She said that if we don't let her Then she won't eat or sleep

And we can't do anything Your Majesty, it's been the whole day

she didn't even eat anything

Your Majesty, don't panic I'll go convince her to come down

You're called Da Niu right?

My nicknamed used to be Da Niu as well

Da Niu, by sitting here You won't be able to see your mother

Come, lets climb down first.

And then eat so we can go look for your mother ok?

You don't believe me don't you?

If i can't do it, you can climb up here again.

Here, give me your hand.

Slowly.

Da Niu, let's go

Da Niu!

don't be scared don't be scared

Your Highness, where is her mother?

Don't mention that b****

She's been exiled

i will never see her again

Your Majesty Regardless of what she had done

but the princess is innocent.

She needs her mother. So on behalf of Da Niu Won't Your Majesty

give Niang NIang one more chance.

please give Wan Ping Niang Niang another chance

Your Highness.

What did you say?

You personally witnessed Consort Qian take the Emperor

To see the little princess

Yes And I heard her plead on Wan Pin Niang Niang's behalf

That little tramp

Does she not know the situation?

Or is she purposely Going against me?

I need to ask her to figure out the situation

Let's go

This flower bloomed really nicely

Harvest some And take them back to the palace

So great

Xu Jia Xi Xiang

Mei Mei sees Sister

Sister?!

That is very nice to hear

I like that sweet little mouth of yours

It makes one's heart melt Making it hard to treat you as an outsider

I've worked extremely hard To get you into your position

Sincerely helping pave the road to your success

But who would've known That it was a one-sided devotion on my part?

You're truly a backstabber

I just found out today That the person I thought of as my sister

she didn't treat me as her sister.

Who is your sister anyways?!

I'm slow So please tell me what's wrong

I'm asking you

You knew that me and Wan Ping are enemies

It wasn't easy for me To get her exiled away

Why beg for her

I only pity the princess.

Since you pity the princess,

let me give you an advice.

You go tell the Emperor That Wan Pin intends to hurt her daughter

And so she can't take are of the Princess anymore

So, you should take over caring for her

Let's go!

Sister!

Sister!

i can't do that

Why is that?

never mind

Since you'll find out sooner or later There's no point in keeping you in the dark anymore

Don't you want to know who is my sister?

Then I will tell you.

Wan Ping Niang Niang

She is my cousin.

These little steps are arranged by her.

You... You!

Big Sister Seeing that you've helped me before

I'm going to let you go

And I'll be kind and remind you

Right now, I am

The favored Consort by the Emperor's side

I didn't have to block your hit And allow you to slap me

And because of that slap His Majesty would favor me even more

But sister...

How much would you have to sacrifice For slapping me?

So I'll be kind to urge you To reconsider your actions

okay...okay

I can't hit you.

but i will hit my servants

Xi Xiang you little tramp

I want you to know the consequences Of tricking me!

Someone come!

Bring Yuyi to me!

Yes

Go ahead Big Sister You can hit her however way you want

Since she's just a mute servant girl Who would even care?

Who cares?

Isn't she your sister?

Yes sister

But She's a fake little sister That I used to lure you into my trap

It's getting late. I still have to accompany the Emperor To go see the Princess

Big Sister Whether you stay here to find that servant girl

Or to let off some steam I'll have to go now

I definitely won't come back To disturb you

Let's go.

Greetings Niang Niang

Today I am a Niang Niang But tomorrow

I may be a prisoner

Niang Niang, you're being too pessimistic

I went and dropped a rock onto my own foot with my plans

I wanted to hate someone But ended up hating myself as well

Is this because of Consort Qian?

I never would've thought

That old woman is in exile

Yet she's able to place a decoy by my side And lure me into a trap

I really underestimated her

If I had known I should've

Niang Niang, you should be lenient

And learn from Consort Qian And take care of the princess

She ruined me

Yet I should go take care of her child?!

Carefully think about it Why was Wan Pin Niang Niang exiled?

If His Majesty has considered allowing her to come back

It's only because he wants the Princess To get the best care

If she doesn't get to come back Yet the Princess is still well cared for...

What your're saying is...

However we look at it Wan Pin Niang Niang is a sinner

She didn't care about her daughter's well being

But you are not the same.

You whole heartedly To the best of your ability cared for the princess

Can it be the same?

Truly the words of a dream partner

Su Gong Gong

You definitely are the best

Oh right, Why did you come to see me?

I heard that you were upset

So I came to check on you

Since we're on the same boat So of course we have to help one another

The Princess seems To really like shadow plays

Look at this

I have a toy here.

I don't know if it will help Niang Niang.

Your Highness, the princess is still not eating these past few days.

Do you think you can

Allow Wan Pin Niang Niang out of exile?

Even though the palace's nannies Are doing a good job

But it's not the same As having one's own mother

I know That Your Majesty doesn't like Wan Pin Niang Niang

But please be lenient On behalf of the Princess

Give Niang Niang a chance.

Why are you so insistent about this?

I...

I pity the princess.

Auntie! Come chase me!

Come chase me!

Don't run so quickly! Auntie can't catch up!

Greetings Your Majesty

Rise

Thank you Your Majesty

Greetings Big Sister

Sister is here also.

Why are you here?

Your Majesty

I heard that the Princess misses her mother And isn't eating

So I brought some toys To play with her

It's second nature for a child to want to play

So anything that upsets them Will be forgotten after they play for a bit

Da Niu, are you happy?

happy

Alright, you're not allowed to not eat in the future ok?

Da Niu, if you don't eat in the future

Auntie Won't come to play with you anymore

I promise that I'll definitely eat

Good girl

Auntie will take you to go play with shadow puppets

Ok? Ok! Ok!

Your Majesty Then I'll bid you farewell with the Princess

Alright, go then

your highness

This issue I'll have to think about it some more

your highness

don't say it

Your Majesty, have some snacks

Xiao Cheng Zi

Yes

Tell me

Do you think Yun Pin Niang Niang Truly cares for the Princess?

Why is Your Majesty suddenly asking me this?

I've always been by your side So how would I know anything about Niang Niang?

Things may seem as they are But I can't help but feel There's something wrong

Especially that Consort Qian Initially she was introduced to me by Yun Pin

But I can't help but feel Like there's something strange going on with them

It doesn't seem like they're close

You've confused me Your Majesty

I don't know what to say

The thing I've always hated the most Is the battle within the inner palace

you hurt me and I'll hurt you In the end, real sincerity becomes fake

Truths become lies

Completely throwing out One's original decision

Xiao Cheng Zi, can it be That I won't find a person who would be true to me?

Will I have to stand within this battlefield forever

Continuously fumbling to find my way back?

Your Majesty's over thinking things

Firstly whether these Niang Niangs are Really as you claim them to be

There are many people within this world

How can Your Majesty Not find your soul mate?

Hard. It's very hard.

I'll just go through these documents and write some papers

It seems like I won't be able to depend On any of these Niang Niangs anymore

I'll have to go find a new person

(Poetry)

down down down yes

wrong wrong wrong

The first two phrases weren't even right

The first two phrases were

(Poem)

Me?

Yes you.

"The Maiden is good" I

I remember it's not...

Brother

You can't even recite Tang Poetry properly

Yet you still have the gall to come take the state exam?

Don't you think it's funny?

My father said, that in my life

I have to obtain an official title If I can't get it this year. Then I'll have to try again the following year

And if I fail again, then I have to try again the year after that

Then you must have learned Fan Jin's teachings

Who is Fan Jin?

Oh! Does he resemble me?

Ask him to come out I'll buy him a drink!

The test is starting!

Fan Jin will come find you in the evening

He can't, I'm testing in the evening

It's fine Fan Jin can enter the testing facility in the evening

why?

Because Fan Jin is a person that you can't see

The government holds these tests

To scour talents from all over the country

After studying hard for over ten years

You finally get to show your skills today

You're not allowed to cheat, and you're not allowed to give up half way

You're not allowed to help someone else take the test Or else you'd be treated as a bandit for your sentence

Let the test begin!

It's barely been four hours Yet you've finished already?

Yes, I've completed it

I am Li Wei, and I am from the capital

I'll leave no, see you at the announcement of successful candidates

Such cockiness

This essay is really good!

I think for this year's test He'll definitely place first

On this test There isn't our designated sign

Look

He isn't someone to use money for bribing And people definitely won't be able to bribe him

What a shame

Look! Look! Your name is on the list

-Congrats! -I'm still looking for my name

-I don't see it -Isn't this you?

-Excuse me! Excuse me!

I...I got it! I got it! First place!

Verse 1: One who sleeps through a spring day

Verse 2: A young miss is sure great

And the last two lines!

Last two lines...I forget

I'll teach you then... Verse 3: At night comes the sound of bribery

Verse 4: Who knows how much money was passed

That's not right! Those weren't the last two verses!

Where's my book?

No need to search, it's not written in the books It's written here, look carefully

That's how he got first place

Lee Wei, stop gambling

You can't keep gambling You really can't keep gambling

Shuang Shuang. Don't block me.

I've been really lucky these past few days I've been able to win a lot of money

After I've won enough money. I'll go buy myself an official position Then I'll head over to your home to ask for your hand

I'll make you my wife

Li Wei!

You can't go on like that!

If you keep acting like this Then your whole future will be ruined

My father won't let me marry you.

Actually, it doesn't mean anything If you can't obtain an official title

If you're willing We can start a small business together

And we can live like that

We can also survive that way

My skills are meant to be Used to help heal this country

Yet the testing department didn't accept me!

So I'm going to have to find some other way to get in So leave me be

This silver hair ornament seems to be worth a bit of money

Lend it to me

Li Wei!

Why are you here?

Wow, there's so much silver

Is this for me?

I also have money. I have luck today.

I won every hand

Well congratulations to you

You keep the money to help you through your days then

What's wrong with you today? You've been acting strange

What happened?

I'm not coming here ever again.

Why?

My father has arranged a marriage for me

It's in Luoyang I've already accepted

Accepted?

Yes.

I've accepted

Why are you like this?

You're the one that said to be with me forever.

Never leave each other. Did you forget?

I didn't forget.

But I can't stand it.

What I want Is a steady and dependable man

To live a steady life with me A person unlike you

Taking risks everyday Where you keep trying to achieve an unattainable dream

Shuang Shuang. I'm not dreaming.

Believe me ok?

I will be better and better.

Believe me ok?

I will believe you.

But I can't wait any longer

Su Gong Gong

I heard that you like the opera The Peony Pavillion

So I've hired the best opera company from An Hui

To act out the entire opera for you So enjoy yourself today

Alright, I know you're loyal to me

So I'll have good things coming your way

Thank you Gong Gong

Please have a seat

Su Gong Gong

I heard that You like to collect calligraphy art, is that true?

You have something fun to recommend to me?

I have a scholar here

His ancestor used to be a high official

He said that he has An authentic Tang Bofu piece

And wanted to ask you to authenticate it for him

Where is he? Tell him to come here

Greetings to Su Gong Gong

Give me the painting

A fake

This...how is it possible?

I've asked many people before, and none of them could tell

Su Gong Gong is definitely gifted This is in fact a fake

But a fake that can be this good

Is definitely hard to do

Lie to people about it And you can get a good 80 to 100 taels for it

It wouldn't be a problem

But since you knew that this is a fake

Yet you still brought it to me You're not afraid of my punishing you?

I didn't come today To promote this fake artwork

But something that's even more valuable

What is it? That artwork that you just identified as fake

Was drawn by these hands

I understand

What you're saying is that You want me to bring the palace's paintings out, For you to make copies of

Wouldn't we be rich by doing so?

I'll need your guidance

BS

What do you take me for?

Am I somehow to make counterfeits?

Of course not

Li Wei, apologize to Gong Gong

Su Gong Gong

My hands don't just paint They can also write

I can write beautiful papers As well as plans for the country

If Gong Gong is willing To give me a chance and once I make it, I will repay you

Give you a future?

Alright

Well then are you willing to Give up on that plaything inside of your pants?

Wait a moment, how are you with portraits?

They can almost be mistaken for the real person

Then you can possibly have a good future

Su Gong Gong, your clothes

Oh, you're a Consort

There is no need for a Consort to greet a servant like myself

If you're willing to You can call me Su Pei Cheng

Gong Gong, how can I possibly...

You can because I said you can Come

Come, sit here

What are you doing holding this? Put it down

Gong Gong, I was sent by Gu Gu To deliver your clothes

I still have things to do

There's no need to rush!

There's nothing more important than this

Over at Gu Gu's end of things I've already explained to her

Today, you don't have to do anything All you have to do is sit here

I...

Come out

This maiden truly is a beauty

Her future will be filled with boundless possibilities

Why are you wasting time saying useless things?

Hurry up and paint! If you hold us up and cause us to be discovered

Then you better be careful about that plaything inside your pants

Yes yes

-Gong Gong -Sit! Don't move

What are you thinking about?

Nothing

You're thinking about Wang Ye aren't you?

What are you talking about?!

Sh..OK I won't say anything

There are some things

That don't necessarily require a lot of thoughts

We're already here now

Then we should do everything well

I'm not looking for riches Nor do I aim to obtain a title

All I ask for is to live peacefully And simply

So that I won't cause my family to worry about me

And so that I can also provide them with some money each month

I already think it's great like this

As for some people

Our fate has already ended

So there's no point in thinking about it You're always so negative

In my opinion We're not completely hopeless here at Xinzheku

You know the previous Emperor's' Consort Liang came from this place

You're still harboring those dreams?

It's so boring here If I don't daydream a bit

Then I wouldn't be able to survive. Oh right, you went to deliver clothes today Why did it take you so long?

I was worried that Gu Gu would reprimand you

Speaking of today I found it really strange

Gu Gu told me to deliver clothes to Su Gong Gong

But she didn't tell me to take it To the Hall of Mental Cultivation (Yangxindian)

Instead she had me to take it to Ruyiguan

He had a painter paint me And he wants me to go back at the same time tomorrow

Lian Er, this is a good thing!

Good thing?

I saw an opera once

Called Lady Zhaojun The story was about an official

Who wanted to introduce a woman to the Emperor

So he first had a picture of her drawn

Lian Er! Su Gong Gong sees something in you

Who knows! You'll get to become a Consort soon!

Like that could really happen!

I bet that so called painter Must've drawn me terribly

You think of everything in a negative light

I really can't stand you

What time is it now? You're still talking?

You must not want to work tomorrow

Monkey King, where do you think you're going?

I'm going to capture you

Don't capture me! Don't capture me! I still have to go crash the Heaven Palace

Da Niu!

Oh, Big Sister Yun Pin is here as well

What? Seeing me here must surprise you right?

Oh right, I remember My position is higher than yours

You wouldn't want to be beaten Just for not greeting me right?

Why would I? Big Sister even finds the time To come visit the Princess

How hard would it be for me to greet you?

Greetings to Big Sister

And this is how things should be I'm at the top while you're at the bottom

You have to keep your head bowed This is justice and ethics

It won't change even if you wanted it to

Well that's not for certain I remember that in the past You had to bow your head to Wan Pin Niang Niang

But what about now? How the tides have changed

Big Sister, tell me Would the tides change again?

Well that depends on whether or not you have the skills

Whether or not I have the skills Can be seen by which palace the Emperor goes to every night most often

What's the point in just talking?

Da Niu, come

Let us go eat

Oh you have done a useless thing, Little Sister

Were you afraid that the kitchen Wouldn't feed Da Niu?

That you brought it upon yourself to bring it over

Naturally, there are a lot of tasty foods in the kitchen

It's just that someone's been coming here too frequently

I can't allow our Da Niu To come to any harm

Come Da Niu, come with Auntie

You sure are a great actress

But I'm so ashamed...so ashamed

I really didn't do the preparatory work To play this fake game

-Here -Da Niu

Auntie's going to tell you In this world, the thing that harms people the most

Are these kinds of food that looks beautiful

But are actually filled with poison

If you were to eat it because you were greedy Or swallowed it by accident

Then you'll lose your little life!

And when you become a ghost You wouldn't even know who to seek for your revenge

Well, you two enjoy your meal then

Da Niu, tomorrow Auntie Will come play shadow puppets with you again, alright?

Alright

Alright, you two enjoy your meal

I'm going back to my residence now, let's go

Play play play! You only know how to play!

If you keep playing

Then your mother's going to lose her life!

Your Majesty

The kitchen has prepared the Osmanthus cake

Put it aside

Yes Your Majesty

Give it to me

Allow me

No wonder Your Majesty didn't eat as much during dinner

It's because you had them prepare Osmanthus cake

It smells great, eat it while it's hot

What is it Your Majesty?

I never eat Osmanthus cake

Then...I

I had them make it for Da Niu

Didn't you know That Da Niu likes to eat Osmanthus cake?

Look at my faulty memory! I forgot for a moment there

Consort Qian, I want to ask you

Do you have me in your heart?

Of course! Your Majesty is like my sky in my heart. There is only Your Majesty

Then my likes and dislikes

You don't know what they are?

I...I know

You don't even know what I like. So how can you claim That you have me in your heart?

It seems I'll have to give you some time To really think about it

To figure out what a soft spot is

And what a sincere heart is

After you've figured it out Then I will come see you

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! The Princess has suddenly fallen ill and has fainted

The Emperor has arrived

Greetings to Your Majesty

Rise. What's wrong with the Princess?

Your Majesty It seems to be food poisoning

How can that be?

Each thing that the Princess eats Is personally handled by me

And every time I feed her I always have someone try it first

Unless

She ate some other food Where is the servant that serves the Princess?

I'm here

Aside from eating the food that I brought What else did the Princess eat?

Speak, the Emperor is here Just speak honestly

If anything bad were to happen to the Princess Can you handle the responsibility?

Aside from eating your food. The Princess also had some of the Honey that Yun Ping Niang Niang brought over

Honey? Where is it?

Your Majesty, from what I see The cause must be Yun Pin Niang Niang's honey

It'd be best if Your Majesty had someone check it immediately

Consort Qian

You need to be more careful when speaking in front of His Majesty

You can't just go around accusing other people How can there be poison in my honey?

If there's no poison Why would you be afraid of having it examined?

You didn't do it So what's the harm of having it examined?

But I would like to ask Consort Qian If there is no poison within my honey

Then what would happen?

Then you can have me charged For slandering your name

You said it

Someone, examine this!

Yes

There's no need

This is proof enough right?

You

Your Majesty, the Princess getting food poisoning There must be some other cause to it

On behalf of the other Consorts Request Your Majesty to investigate this matter

Rather than arguing around here Trying to speak over one another

Let's just cut it short Don't you agree Your Majesty?

Your Majesty

Consort Qian, you can leave first

Alright

I'll leave first then
