Episode 7

Su Gong Gong

The emperor lost his jade pendant

We were instructed to carefully search everyone

The emperor's jade pendant?

That's right

Crap, I fell into her trap

I've been set up

If you let me go this time,

I promise will treat you like an ancestor for the rest of my life.

Su Peisheng

I once treated you like an ancestor but you gave me no face.

Unfortunately, this opportunity has passed,

it's gone

This piece of Jade

Is it or not...

The Emperor's?

Yes, it definitely is

Capture him

Servant is innocent!

Servant wouldn't do such things!

Your Majesty, servant was framed!

Your Majesty must use your own judgment!

you majesty!

Servant has been with you for more than 20 years

You know what I'm like

Your Majesty must right this injustice for me!

Your Majesty must right this injustice for me!

Your majesty

Your Majesty, Little Shengzi wouldn't be greedy over such a small thing!

Your Majesty, I'm innocent!

Your Majesty doesn't punish this person, you still keep him?

Su Peisheng grew up with me

I know him extremely well

He would never do that

Besides, he works for me

Many people offer him money

Just cause of this piece of jade

He wouldn't take this kind of risk.

Of course Su Gong Gong wouldn't, just for a jade pendant

Lately there have been rumors

I don't know if Your Majesty has heard yet

Oh, Su Peisheng finding someone to draw a portrait

to present a beauty to me?

I've already seen that painting It's just a landscape painting

Your Majesty, if Su Gong Gong has the ability to present you with a portrait of a beauty,

then he has the ability to change it into a landscape painting.

then he has the ability to change it into a landscape painting.

Su Gong Gong stole the jade pendant not because of greed

but because he wants me to get in trouble for losing it,

so that Your Majesty alienates me. That way, he can introduce someone new

to better control Your Majesty.

If that's true,

then he's too bold

Your Majesty, Su Gong Gong has been with you for so many years

Whether he has the guts to do this

you should know very well.

Men!

Servant here

Issue my decree. Su Peisheng is blinded by love of wealth

and stole my jade pendant.

For that he should be sentenced to death. But seeing as we grew up together,

I will spare him.

Have him go to the imperial tea house

and be a little eunuch.

Yes

Isn't that Xu Jia Xi Xiang?

Why is she here?

How dare you?

Are you fit to utter Consort Qian's name?

Quickly kneel down and pay your respects

Greetings Consort Qian

You are real beauties.

It's a pity

that you're stuck in the laundry department.

Unfortunately,

I will have you stay here forever!

I'm warning you

What's not yours,

you better stop your wishful thinking!

Otherwise, you won't even be able to stay in the laundry department

- Auntie Pan Chun - Yes

The job I gave you must be done well

I may come by at anytime to check

I understand

Let's go

Seriously,

What's so great about her?

All because His Majesty likes her?

I just didn't have the opportunity. If I had one,

I would definitely do better than her.

Shut your mouth

You haven't even finished your work, and you have time to sit around and malign Niang Niang?

Watch out,

or your heads will roll

Let's go do work

Wait. You two don't need to do anymore of this work today.

In a while, come with me to the iceroom (fridge)

Get some fresh fruits

to deliver to the various palaces

Yes

Go in and get some fresh seasonal fruits

Remember, don't get the spoiled ones mixed in

Yes

Open the door! Auntie, open the door!

Auntie! What should we do?

She must have been bribed by Xi Xiang

to treat us this way!

This door is so thick. No matter how loud we yell,

no one will hear us outside.

It's so cold here. We will definitely freeze to death here.

What should we do, Lian'er?

We can't stay here like this

If we do,

We can't stay like this anymore

or else

we'll be frozen stiff!

Yushu

Start moving

Start running

If you start running it won't be as cold

Start running

Better?

Didn't I already tell you?

Mother?

Greetings Mother

Get up

I just wanted to come see you

You haven't been to the palace

so I came here to see you.

Still angry at me?

No

No?

You say no

but you must be angry inside.

17th

Everything I do

is for your own good, understand?

Mother

You're being paranoid

Greetings Fujin

Just yesterday, 17th was saying

he wanted to go to palace to bring you some fruits from the western region.

What a coincidence, then you came Mother

Is that true?

Mother let me give you some fruit

No Mother is not going to eat

17th

This fruit

Go give some for the Emperor to eat

Lately, with issues in the back palace,

the emperor has been very vexed.

He can't sleep or eat

The Empress

had no mind of her own.

And between the emperor and I...

You're brothers, family

Who knows, maybe if you give in to him a little,

everything will blow over.

Mother

Since we're family,

why is it so tiring?

Isn't it better to just act the way you think?

In this world, people inevitably

have to fake it sometimes.

Everyone thinks differently

so their way of doing things will also be different.

It's bound to create some conflict and misunderstanding

To resolve these conflicts and misunderstandings, the best way is to

meet more often and communicate more.

Understand?

I understand

Son will listen to Mother

Greetings Your Majesty

17th brother, we haven't seen each other in months

Your kungfu has improved significantly

Your Majesty's kungfu is also better than before

Your Majesty

My friends from the western regions

gave me this fruit.

Mother specially asked me

to bring this for you to taste.

Mother really has a kind heart

Mother misses you

I know what she misses

I'm the emperor

I can't do anything

I want to.

As long as Your Majesty wants to do something,

who dares say no?

Besides, Your Majesty knows

that Mother's original intention

was not to desire wealth

but to...

Okay

You rarely get to come to the palace

Let's talk about some happier things

Right, how's your new marriage?

Thanks Your Majesty

I'm very well

that's good

You're an adult now

Can't act like a child anymore

But being like a child is also a good thing

I remember when we were young, we would

steal western tribute fruits from the iceroom to eat.

You still remember?

Of course

Your majesty was fourteen then

I was six

I remember it as if it were yesterday

Time passed in the blink of an eye

Yes

Time passes by so quickly

I remember back then,

you liked to use a nutcracker

to crack ice cubes.

They turned to crushed ice

Father was so impressed

He thought you were

a child prodigy.

The rest of us

were worthless.

Your majesty still remembers?

Of course I remember

Now you don't use the nutcracker anymore

for crushed ice?

How about we go to the iceroom and reminisce about the past?

If you can crush the ice with your own hands,

I will grant you a wish.

as your wedding gift

If you can't crush it,

then you owe me

fresh fruits everyday.

What do you think?

Crushing ice is not a hard thing

But if I really do it,

isn't Mother's position as Empress Dowager

in the bag?

Since Your Majesty says so,

I respectfully obey.

Good, let's go!

I've been practicing for a long time

I can crush clay,

but ice and rocks

are impossible.

We'll have to see 17th work your magic

I might not be able to do it either

I'm only trying

I heard that lately Your Majesty invited someone to perform in the palace

I heard that rocks turn to tofu in his hands

They turn to powder

That's really amazing

That guy was fake

His Majesty has already ordered that his hands be chopped off

Fake? I'm really curious.

How can that be faked?

How can ordinary people

possibly crush rocks like tofu?

Since it's inconceivable,

it must be fake.

The emperor has always considered himself above others

If I win against him,

won't he be even more upset?

When Mother really becomes Empress Dowager,

it will bring endless trouble.

17th, go

yes

Please

Mother said to think of the bigger picture

My personal safety is not a big deal

but I'm afraid of dragging family down with me.

I deserve to die

What's wrong?

Your Majesty, my hands suddenly feel weak

I won't even be able to crush

a piece of tofu.

How could that be?

Your majesty knows

that I've always crushed ice

using a tool.

I'm used to using tools,

so I can't use my own force anymore.

Originally, I thought it wouldn't be a big deal to embarrass myself in front of you

But...in front of so many servants...

Never mind!

From now on, I will bring you fresh fruits from the west everyday!

17th brother, get up

I was just joking

You took it seriously?

Come with me to Hall of Resting Soul for drinks!

yes

Keep running! Don't stop!

Isn't that Lian'er's voice?

Keep running! don't stop!

Duke, what's the matter?

Someone's inside

Duke, did you hear wrong?

How could there be people inside?

This is the 1000-year-old iceroom

All the ice inside is 1000 years old

There couldn't be anyone inside

If there's someone,

wouldn't he freeze into a popsicle?

yes

How could there be people inside?

Seems like I miss Lian'er too much

Yu Shu, how are you?

I can't run anymore

You can't fall down. Quickly get up, or else you'll freeze!

I don't want to die here

I don't want to die here!

I don't want to die here

Yu Shu, how are you?

Hang in there!

You have to hang in there!

I don't want to die in here

It's alright!

Isn't that the gold fruit from Nan'an?

I remember its smell

is very strong.

Yu Shu! I have a solution!

Wait here, I have a solution!

I don't want to die here

What smell is that? Could it be the gold fruit from Nan'an?

Quickly open the door! It's the emperor's favorite. If it spoils we will lose our heads!

How could there be people inside?

Yu Shu! The door's open! Look, the door's open!

What bad luck! If you weren't there,

I would definitely freeze to death!

As long as you don't give up,

you will have a chance.

I told you to get some fruit from the iceroom

What took you so long?

Where did you go?

Don't you know?

You locked us in the iceroom, we almost froze to death!

Didn't I tell you

that the iceroom has an emergency button? If you press it you will be able to get out.

Are you deaf?

You never said that!

What do you mean by that?

You want to go to the internal affairs bureau

and report me for attempted murder?

- Go then - I will!

Yu Shu! Gu Gu, she doesn't know

Don't bother with her

Please give us a chance

and let us off the hook.

That's more like it

Since it's already so late,

you don't need

to sleep tonight.

Go, wash those clothes

So...many clothes!

How can we wash them all?

With your hands

These clothes are all very precious

They can't be hung on bamboo sticks

Otherwise there will be imprint marks

Then Gu Gu

How are we supposed to dry them?

In the past, someone would take each garment

and hold it under the sun to dry.

We only have two hands

Then that's your problem I...

Lian Er

She's purposely giving us a hard time!

We're finished!

She will torment us to death!

Stop worrying

Look, we even survived the iceroom

the worst is of course the word "death"

Don't worry

I won't let you die

As for these clothes,

My mother has said it before

Clothes will dry faster where there's wind

Instead of standing like idiots here,

might as well

dry this in the wind!

Blow, wind!

Greetings Emperor, Greetings Empress

Greetings Niang Niang

Greetings Chun Gu Gu

Greetings Pan Chun Gu Gu too

Greetings Pan Chun Gu Gu too

- Greetings Yu Shu - Please get up

Greetings Lian'er. Greetings Empress.

Greetings Lian'er. Greetings Yu Shu.

My back! Someone come!

Hey you, help me up!

You fell?

Aiyo, you bastards!

You've always gotten lots of benefits from me

What?

Now I see clearly!

You are all

bastards!

You're the bastard

You think

you're still the head eunuch of Hall of Resting Soul?

- I spit on you! - I spit on YOU!

I spit spit spit!

I remember you!

Xiao Linzi, right?

When your mother was sick, who delivered the money for you?

When the emperor sentenced you to hard labor, who pleaded for you?

Now I've fallen on hard times

You don't help me, instead you kick me while I'm down!

I...I will kill you!

You dare fight back?!

What are you doing!

Hand! Su Gong Gong

17th prince

Are you alright

17th prince you a very nice person

This mousetrap is really hard to get off

It will definitely kill any mice it catches

There's only one way of opening it

You pulled it apart so effortlessly

You're so strong!

Alright, go

Don't delay your chores

17th prince Thank you

17th prince is a very nice person

Servant met a very kind person today

17th prince I'm leaving

Li Gong Gong the hot water is here

Isn't this the head eunuch of Resting Soul Hall, Su Peisheng?

Bringing me hot water to wash my feet...

you have been wronged

Don't say that

I'm no one important, just someone who brings hot water

Since you did such a great job working for the emperor,

you must be very good

at bringing hot water to wash feet?

Here, let me try, see if it's hot or not

Su Peisheng!

You dog servant!

Where is the positive attitude you show to the emperor? Huh?

You dare bring me such cold water to soak my feet in?!

Tired of living?!

This...this water is pretty hot

Is it?

You Try it

Li Qing xi!

You've gone too far!

Li Qing xi?

Don't you know

The one with the higher status is the lord of all?

You were the one who coined it

Li Gong Gong

I was wrong in the past

It was my fault

You're magnanimous

Don't bother with me

You know you were wrong?

You know it's your fault?

Then quickly get me some hotter water!

Or you'll really get it!

Yes

Scram!

Su Peisheng

I have to get up early in the morning to serve master

Tonight,

you stay in the cold, ok?

Hey, get up. Get up!

The sun is already shining on your bum, still sleeping?

Get up!

Li Gong Gong, he's already like this, and you want him to work?

You should get the imperial doctor

Miss Lian'er

He's just a dog servant

not a master.

A servant's life is not that valuable

Getting the imperial doctor for every minor illness...

then how will the imperial doctors have time to treat the masters?

Get up!

Stop kicking him!

If you keep kicking him, he will die!

That would be great!

No one cares!

No matter what,

he used to be a close servant of the emperor.

Even if he's been reduced,

the emperor still cares about him.

If he really dies,

you will be to blame!

You

I didn't cause his illness

I have work to do!

I'm leaving

Su Gong Gong, quickly get up

So hot...Su Gong Gong!

Are you alright?

Mom...Mom...Mom

I don't want to enter the palace

I want to go home

Su Gong Gong, don't be like this

Your entire body is sweating. You will be better when you wake up.

I'm cold

- I'm cold - Cold?

Is that better?

Still cold?

You're awake. Feel better?

Still feel sick?

You've been taking care of me?

We're all servants in the palace

We should help each other

Don't feel bad

Here, Let me help you

Su Gong Gong!

What are you doing?

Quickly get up!

Quickly get up, don't be like this

You saved my life

I owe you my life

From now on, anything you want me to do,

I will help you.

Su Gong Gong, I saved you

not so you will owe me.

Miss Lian'er

Before I never believed anyone

who said I bended with the wind.

When I worked for the emperor,

no one dared touch me.

But now I've fallen

Now I finally know

that I'm nothing.

Not even a fart

No one really cares about me,

except you, Miss Lian'er.

okay, okay

Su Gong Gong, quickly get up. Don't say this anymore.

You still have a fever. You need to get more rest.

I've already notified the imperial teahouse

The Gong Gong there is very nice. He won't come looking for you anytime soon.

Thank you

Crap!

I still have to deliver these clothes in the palace

I almost forgot!

Have a good rest, I'm leaving

God, I swear...

even if it kills me,

I will help Miss Lian'er become Niang Niang.

I must help her become Niang Niang

Gu Gu

Taking so long to deliver the clothes! Want to die?

Gu Gu...I...

No need to explain

To explain is to cover up

The master said

you were late in picking up clothes.

As punishment, you can't sleep

or eat today.

Do you obey or not?

I obey

Everyone's work

is about finished?

- Yes - Everyone go inside to eat

She will stay here

to work.

Yes

Lian'er, how are you?

I'm fine

I secretly took one at breakfast today

Quickly eat, don't let the others see

Hey, are you free later?

What's wrong?

Give this steamed bun

to Su Gong Gong for me, Su Peisheng.

Are you ok?

It's for you!

But I'm not hungry

He's sick right now, he needs it more

Go, quickly

Don't let others see

Quickly

Then, when I have the chance,

I will steal another one for you.

Ok, wait for me

Be careful!

I already brought the bun for you

Why are you still crying?

Hey, Whats wrong?

Nothing,

I'm just touched

I must recover quickly

so I can repay Miss Lian'er's kindness.

How are you going to repay her?

Right now,

you can't even save yourself.

Hey, let me tell you.

Don't cause any more trouble for her!

Alright, I already brought you the bun

I'm leaving now

Thanks Miss

Your great kindness

I will remember as long as I live!

Let's drink!

Why would I drink with you?

You're the reason for my current situation

You're also the reason for my current situation!

We're even

Did you know?

I studied hard for so many years

just for the chance to become an official.

But they only accept people with money into the examination

I couldn't get in because I don't have money

So I took a gamble

on you, Su Peisheng.

But you...

you gave me false hope,

then completely shattered my hopes.

Guard of the third rank!

You made me a third-rank guard!

Did you know? I only get one silver tael a month,

it's so tiring, and I also have to serve the second-rank people!

Carrying shit and piss, and being slapped!

I'm telling you!

It's even worse than being a servant!

So that's why you dragged me down with you?

I didn't drag you down!

I told everyone that I was so grateful

Su Gong Gong asked me to paint a beauty portrait!

Why?

So that the Niang Niangs in the back palace would find out,

get jealous, and want one too!

Then my chance will come!

But I didn't think you would be so useless

joining my suffering so soon!

You SOB!

I'll kill you

A Gong Gong wants to beat me?

Crying, so useless!

Su Peisheng, you know why I came to look for you today?

Because we're both frustrated

We're both unwilling to accept this

Only today

can we drink together face to face.

After today,

we may be friends

or foes.

But no matter what,

let's drink today

and start over.

Take it.

Don't cry,

You look like a monkey when you cry, so ugly!

You look good when you're crying?

How are Yu Shu and Lian'er lately?

Replying to Niang Niang, as you ordered,

I have already done all sorts of things

to make their lives miserable.

Oh?

Miserable, what does that mean?

They can't get out of bed,

or they can't move at all?

Neither

No matter what I do to them, they both stayed very strong

They bit their teeth through it

Then you should quickly think of a way to dispose of them

Niang Niang means...

Idiot! Am I not clear enough?

I want them dead!

But they are no threat to Niang Niang

Why does Niang Niang want to...?

If the grass is not exterminated by the root,

it will regrow in the spring.

Because I've been too careless with Yun Pin in the past,

she has repeatedly messed with me, and made my life miserable.

You say these two women are very strong

Then who knows

what tricks they will come up with!

If I don't eliminate them now,

then they might bring me down any time! Don't you understand?

Yes

That means

Gu Gu knows what to do.

Servant...

Here, Gu Gu

It's alright Gu Gu

I will give you time

If you handle it well,

I will reward you generously.

If you don't,

then I will see your corpse!

This phoenix robe was worn by Grand Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang before she passed away

Every thread is made from peacock feather

so it's very precious.

The Emperor instructed

that it must be cleaned very carefully. If there's the slightest damage,

everyone will be killed.

So no one is allowed to touch it, other than the people cleaning it

Do you all understand?

We understand

You two have always been careful. So you two will be in charge of cleaning it.

Remember, it can't be washed in water. It must be brushed gently with water

until it shines, understand? 701p Yes

Good, then everyone go do your own work

Yes

Here

Lian Er

Ah?

How did this happen?

What do I do?

Don't worry, let me think of a plan

Bring it inside our room tonight

What do I do

Lian'er

What?

Lian'er

What?

Lian'er, is Su Gong Gong here yet?

Not yet, this is making me so anxious!

Lian'er, do you think we'll be able to find peacock feathers?

I don't know, it all depends on whether Su Gong Gong can...

Hey hey hey!

He came

Hurry

How is it, Su Gong Gong?

Peacocks in the imperial garden are nowhere close to this

So I got some dyed chicken feathers

See if it will do

This...I...

I've seen that kind of embroidery before

The thread is made from smooth and shiny peacock feathers

If we use these dyed chicken feathers, there will definitely be dull spots

We will definitely be found out!

I'm finished! I'm dead this time!

Where are you going?

Rather than being tormented to death by them, I would rather jump in the well and kill myself!

At least I will still have a full corpse

Are you crazy? We still have some time. Let me think.

Maybe there will be a way!

What other way could there be?

What are you crying for? Talking about death and all

This is the phoenix robe? Let me see.

Yes, they said this belonged to Grand Empress Dowager. If there's the slightest damage, our entire families will be killed!

Now I only hope that these dyed chicken feathers can be put to use

It's not too late. I will go embroider it.

You know what time it is?

How can you possibly finish?

Go sleep

How can I? Quickly give it to me!

Su Gong Gong Unless you have a plan?

Stand up! Stand up!

- It's daylight? - What daylight?

This is how you do your chores?

My directions go in one ear

and out the other?

Gu Gu

We're already finished

You two are lying!

I clearly saw you two slacking off and sleeping here!

You didn't even see the phoenix robe

drop onto the ground!

Then what Gu Gu means is...

that after you went inside yesterday,

the two of us never touched it?

Is that not true?

Everyone saw it!

Yes Yes it's all our fault

Gu Gu

Then please punish us

That's more like it

Go kneel by the well

Without my permission don't get up!

Yes

someone

- Pick up the phoenix robe - Yes

Pan Chun Gu Gu

Has the phoenix garment been washed?

Sorry Li Gong Gong

There's some delay. The phoenix garment hasn't been washed yet.

That's unacceptable

Empress Dowager Niang Niang is waiting for the offering ceremony

Never mind

No one will notice it from far away

Just give it back to me Yes

This...why is it damaged?!

I really didn't know

Did you two

damage it?!

Gu Gu It's got nothing to do with us

- You dare quibble?! - I'm not

Then let me ask Gu Gu

Before going to sleep yesterday, did you check this garment?

- I... - Of course she did!

Gu Gu is so careful, how could she possibly neglect

such an important garment?

Yes

Of course I checked it

Since you checked it,

that means there were no problems then.

We haven't touched it since

You...Who knows if you really did or not?!

If we touched it,

then what are we kneeling here as punishment for?

Right, everyone saw

Pan Chun Gu Gu!

You're audacious!

Such a precious item

You dare damage!

Someone!

Seize her and take her to the Internal Affairs Authority!

I will personally interrogate her!

No, Gong Gong, I'm innocent!

I'm innocent, Gong Gong!

Innocent!

Innocent!

- Why so secretive? - Come here!

What is this?

Sit down

Look

Isn't this the old phoenix robe

Gu Gu told you to burn two days ago?

Right

But I've been too busy

I carelessly forgot

Now, it just so happens we can use it!

What are you going to do?

I've taken a look at it

The shape of this phoenix robe

is exactly the same as Grand Empress Dowager Xiao Zhuang's.

I just need to make some changes to the thread work

Pass it off as the real one

No problem at all!

Lian'er, you don't want to save that old witch, do you?

This isn't her fault

My good Lian'er!

You're being too kind!

You know how she normally treats us

Now that she's gone,

we can finally have peace. 839p One under servitude

How can one not obey?

She was just carrying out orders

It wasn't her choice

Besides, if she's replaced,

can you guarantee

that her replacement will be any better?

Ok ok

Don't think about it anymore

Here, help me with the needlework

My good Lian'er!

You are really the best person in the world!

If Heaven had eyes,

you should be given a bright future!

Hey, when that happens don't forget about me

Of course not!

Here, help me

Duke, it looks like a fire!

Wang ye

Wang Ye is back

What's going on?

I wanted to learn how to cook

I didn't know that wet firewood cannot be used, so...

There are plenty of servants here

You don't need to do these things

Fujin just wants Duke to taste some food she personally prepared

This place doesn't need these fake gestures

They're useless

Fujin, don't feel bad

Duke didn't say that on purpose

I'm alright

I'm alright

Wang Ye

All the servants went to clean up the kitchen

No one is available

I will leave right after I put these down

How did you know I like to eat water chestnuts?

Nanny told me

Nanny really has a big mouth

Duke, continue reading

I will leave now

Why is there blood?

Fujin, why trouble yourself?

There are so many servants around

They can all do the work for you

Must you do things yourself?

Nanny

Duke gave our family a new lease on life

Before I only wanted to be a good wife

and serve him.

But that's not possible

Now I can only do some small things

to make him happy.

I'm more than happy to do it

How could I ask someone else to do the work?

The Duke

I don't know what's wrong with him

He's usually very nice to everyone

He only treats you that way...

That's what I like about him

Because Duke is deeply in love

with that one person,

he doesn't have feelings

for anyone else.

Duke must be deeply in love with that girl

I really admire

his devotion to her.

It's good you think that way

But how will you live the days ahead?

I will smile with him when he's happy,

and cry with him when he's sad.

When he's angry, I will listen to him vent

He needs someone to take care of him

so I will stay by him.

When the person in his heart

comes forward,

I will quietly leave.

As long as I remember

the details of my days with him,

that's enough for a lifetime.

What a tragedy

What a tragedy

Wang Ye

Servant still has some work in the kitchen, I'm leaving

Do you want to know the story behind this pearl?

Actually this story is very short

But this story

is deeply engraved in my heart.

I will forever remember that morning

she charged into the estate with a knife.

She wanted justice for her father

I don't know

if I started to fall in love with her at that moment

But now she's inside the palace walls

I'm outside

The two of us will never happen

My heart

is not without you

but I need some time.

Are you willing to give me time?

A marriage partner is for a lifetime

Feelings once given, cannot be retrieved.

How could the phoenix robe

be damaged?

Do you have

some grudge against your master?

Want revenge?

I haven't I wouldn't dare

I say, why do you bother?

I worked in the inner courts for a period

The higher ups always say

I don't complete a task

why don't you hurry and fess up

So that I can at least answer to the higher ups

and you don't have to suffer

I really didn't

Didn't...

Continue the pressure!

Gong Gong

This maid, Nihuru Lian'er is saying that the outfit you have is the wrong one

She especially came to deliver the right one to you.

Stop!

Gong Gong, it is all my fault

I finished cleaning the Empress Dowager's robe and

took it to be pressed

I carelessly forgot

and caused Gong Gong

to almost burn the old robe

Mistaking it for the Empress Dowager's

How could you have made such a mistake

You really should die

Pan Chun Gu Gu, my apologies

I really apologize

Gong Gong, you are magnanimous

I am grateful

but then again this was your department's mistake

You didn't suffer in vain

Also,

this maid who made the mistake

How should she be punished?

Got it

Why don't you, In front of me,

give her 10 strokes

Take it as a lesson

Yes

Why aren't you starting?

Unless you are thinking of shielding her

Gu Gu, go ahead and beat me, I'll be ok

Beat me
