[The Legendary Life of Queen Lau]

[Episode 23]

[This work is fictitious. Any resemblance to reality is coincidental]

Go out first.

Roger that.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Who is it?

Me, Tang.

Tang.

Why are you here?

I saw Sage Guan unconscious outside.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'll wait outside then.

Call me if you need me.

Okay.

I'll take my leave now.

I...

I really can't keep my eyes open.

What a bummer.

I already said

that I can't defeat you right now.

I'm disappointed not because you lost to me.

But because you pretended to lose.

You could tell?

What can you hide from me?

You are right.

I wonder how Jinfeng is right now.

I heard that she did it with His Majesty.

Don't worry. They are getting along very well.

I'm still worried about her.

I'm worried that she'll be tricked by him.

My mother told me

that handsome men

can't be trusted.

You don't have to worry about that.

You know His Majesty that well?

You are so smart.

You won't give birth to a daughter who can easily be deceived.

You are right.

That's right.

Yongfu.

I have to leave now.

I'm sleepy now.

It's not that you have to leave.

It's me who wants you to leave.

I'll get going then.

I'm sleepy.

I'm so sleepy.

Sir.

What is it?

We received news from the palace.

Someone has burnt the sleeping incense in Xuanchen Hall tonight.

Okay.

Do you want me to investigate it?

You don't have to.

It's just a petty trick

from someone

who wants to find the formula.

What should we do next?

What day is it today?

Today?

It's the 10th of this month.

Do you know what happened on this day

twenty years ago?

Of course, I do.

Prince Wu rose in rebellion.

And you chased after them for miles with 30 cavalries.

Then, you took them down.

On this day 20 years ago,

I found Xianpa Village.

Something important to you

is usually worthless in others' opinion.

I don't understand.

No need to pay attention to them.

I'm afraid that...

Don't worry.

With their capabilities,

they won't be able to find it.

Who can find it then?

Something so unique

can only be found by someone special.

Eunuch Shuan.

How is it?

[Xuanchen Hall] You wrote down what you needed last night, right?

Eunuch Shuan.

There was an accident.

Please give me a hand.

His Majesty and Her Majesty are still asleep.

Asleep?

How are they sleeping?

They are sleeping very well.

Details.

I need details.

Well...

I shouldn't say more than that.

Please

give me a hand

for Eunuch Bai Fu's sake.

You... You know my godfather?

We had risked our lives together.

R-Really?

To be honest,

after giving you to His Majesty before he left,

he came and had a drink with me.

He told me that...

What did he tell you?

He told me

that he and Old Maid Fang Yu

were worried

about you the most.

He told me that by giving you to His Majesty,

His Majesty will treat you well

for his and Old Maid Fang Yu's sake.

Am I right?

His Majesty treats you well, right?

Yes.

His Majesty is like my godfather.

I owe them.

How are His Majesty and Her Majesty sleeping?

His Majesty is hugging Her Majesty!

Beautiful.

On the 10th of May,

His Majesty and Her Majesty had slept on the same bed.

Anything else?

Give me more details.

Don't disturb me.

Write your own story.

Okay.

I'll write it myself.

You are awake.

What happened?

You don't remember?

You really don't remember?

I really don't remember.

Don't worry.

Nothing happened.

Someone just fell asleep last night.

She didn't even say goodnight to me.

Am I such a good sleeper?

You were even snoring.

Shuan.

Your Majesty.

What happened?

Nothing.

The wind blew some sand into my eyes.

Sandy wind?

Do you really believe that?

What's wrong?

We don't have the sandy wind in summer.

I realize that you are quite smart

when it comes to things that don't matter.

Okay now. I have to get ready for court.

[The Qianhuafu Formula is in Xuanchen Hall.]

Darned Yu!

Yu Changya!

Hurry up and get me some Yunnan Baiyao. [* A traditional Chinese medicine]

My neck is too stiff.

We ran out of out it.

Really?

There was so much of it. Did you eat it as rice?

I did. So?

Why are you so mad?

Did you eat a firecracker?

Yes, I did.

It would be nice if I had eaten it.

Then, I could attack you with it.

You are crazy.

How do you know this?

What?

Fang, Yu, Fu, Hua, Qian.

How do you know these five characters?

You are reading it the wrong way.

What?

[Qianhuafu Formula]

Your Highness.

Imperial Physician Yu has made a move.

Looks like I'm right.

Yu Changya is not as simple as he looks.

Your Highness.

Can it be that Yu Changya

is sent here by Xiyue too?

Hire someone to investigate it.

I think he's not just a citizen of Xiyue.

Okay.

What are you going to do next?

No matter who he is,

since he wants to look for the formula too,

we should let him help us find it.

Find a chance to give him a hint.

Yes, Your Highness.

Yu Changya.

Hopefully, you are not him.

Chase after him!

[May Everything Last]

He can't get far.

Chase after him!

[Ya]

[Ya]

Zhang and Jinfeng.

How are you lately?

We are doing well.

Jinfeng.

Are you having a headache?

No.

Hurry up and close the windows.

We don't want the Queen to catch a cold.

Maids.

Hurry up

and get a lumbar support pillow for the Queen.

Jinfeng.

Do you want to eat a plum?

Okay.

I love plums the most.

It's so sour. It's good.

That's great!

You ticked all boxes.

Thank you for your blessings, my ancestors.

Looks like it's time.

It's time.

I'll go and get ready now.

Let's go.

What does she need to prepare?

Don't be nervous.

I've been waiting a long time

for this.

I'm not nervous.

You shouldn't be nervous either, Your Majesty.

Amazing.

Do you think I'm a pig?

You said it yourself, didn't you?

You want to name your child Piggy.

So, of course, you are a pig.

Yu Changya?

Imperial Physician Yu.

How are you, Consort Dowager Xu?

I'm good.

I'm doing great.

Ever since I started using the soothing mask that you made,

my face

is as smooth as an egg.

Look.

Look at my hands too.

I have to thank you

for your exclusive rose hand cream.

It's 100 times

more effective than dipping my hands in rose water.

This is all thanks to you, Imperial Physician Yu.

Mother!

Your Highness,

I still have things to do.

I'll see you later.

No.

Why not?

What if you are caught by Yunzhang

and Empress Dowager?

Of course, it'll be bad.

Then, why are you being so bold with...

This...

Empress Dowager and His Majesty

are not in the palace today.

They have many things to do.

They won't be back so soon.

Moreover,

if I don't do it today,

do I have to wait for tomorrow?

Besides, it is not a date.

I'm just there to get a beauty treatment.

Imperial Physician Yu.

Go and do your things then.

I have to go and get ready too.

Yu Changya.

You are really something.

You are overthinking this, Your Highness.

No.

I'm not overthinking this.

What are you doing?

Since you can't seduce my sister-in-law,

are you going to seduce my mother now?

No need to explain.

Save your lies and your skincare products

for other women.

Let me tell you.

Don't think about seducing my mother.

I'll keep a close eye on you.

You've misunderstood me.

Explain then.

I don't plan to explain.

I just want to seduce Consort Dowager Xu.

What can you do about it?

What did you say?

Come to think of it, you are the same as me.

You are seducing Baiyu

because you want to tame her

so that you can keep her in line?

I want to tame Consort Dowager Xu too.

So that she will stop torturing people in the Imperial Harem

while doing nothing

with that despicable face of hers.

Come to think of it,

we are actually the same.

Yu Changya.

Say that again if you dare.

It's not that I'm afraid.

But I don't have the time.

By the way, Your Highness.

You've already promised

to keep your eyes

on Miss Baiyu at all times, right?

You won't be able to keep an eye on me all the time then.

Yu Changya.

You are a weirdo!

How am I the same as you?

No one is as weird as you.

You don't deserve my sister-in-law.

You don't deserve my mother.

You don't deserve anyone! You deserve to be alone!

This is bad.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Enough!

You've splashed the water on me

at the right time.

Enough. It's nothing.

You can go now.

Okay.

[There's a secret room in Xuanchen Hall. By: Spy]

Xuan.

We have to find the Crown Prince tonight.

Or else, the Grand Chancellor won't forgive us.

Let's go!

-Roger that! -Roger that!

Imperial Physician.

Imperial Physician, hurry up and check on His Majesty!

His Majesty is smiling.

Why is he smiling?

Why is he smiling in this condition?

Has he turned foolish because of the attack?

Has he really turned foolish?

His Majesty is fine.

Don't worry about it.

It's good as long as he is fine.

Zhang, you are awake.

Mother.

Jin...

You don't have to worry about the incident today.

I've already sent someone to investigate it.

Then, Jin...

Enough. Don't worry about it.

The incident today won't happen again.

Mother,

I want to ask about Jin...

You should just rest for today.

Don't ask about anything.

Her Majesty is right.

After I change your dressing,

you have to rest well.

You'll recover in a few more days.

I'll do it.

Your Majesty.

It's better for me to do it.

I'll do it. All of you can leave now.

Jinfeng.

How about...

Like I say, let me do it.

All of you can leave now.

Fine.

You don't have to be so agitated.

All of you, leave.

♪I remember the happy times♪

Are you in pain?

No.

♪I want those things to come true♪

♪I was tipsy when I wrote to you♪

♪It was an empty joy while I stared at the moon♪

♪I'm nothing but a shell♪

♪I'm too naive♪

♪I'll believe in it♪

I got these scars when I was entrusted to the Grand Chancellor

when my father was severely ill.

The Grand Chancellor was very strict with me when I was younger.

If I didn't do well in something,

he would beat me up and lecture me.

But one time, I couldn't take it anymore.

I wanted to run away.

♪The letter is short but it tears me up♪

So, I followed the forest trail and ran away.

Guess what I saw?

I saw...

♪Who is that woman for me?♪

♪Ink like tears, spreading out and destroying it♪

Jinfeng.

What's wrong with you?

♪Paper as thin as the heart♪

♪I fear nothing♪

I want to cry.

What's wrong? Tell me.

Don't scare me like this.

So many wounds.

♪It always makes me frown♪

Why didn't you tell me?

♪Hoping that there is always love♪

You are so smart. Why did you let them beat you up?

Why didn't you fight back?

♪The moon is still here, just like my sorrow♪

You are hurting.

♪Hope the wind will dry my tears♪

I feel so bad about this.

I feel so upset.

♪With little words, I have no regrets♪

Why didn't you say anything?

♪Just waiting for a reply♪

You said that you had a line that you wouldn't cross!

How are you going to prove that you didn't do it?

How dare you ask me to prove it!

You promised me

that you wouldn't hurt Jinfeng.

You also promised me that you wouldn't act recklessly.

You!

Looks like there's a third person.

Someone who's more impatient than us.

He's hiding in the palace too.

He has hidden deeper and longer than us.

Jinfeng knows about the formula.

Did you tell her about it?

We have to get the formula as soon as possible.

Or else, it'll be disastrous

if that person gets it first!

You are forcing Jinfeng to risk her life!

The most dangerous place is the safest.

Your Highness.

You can't achieve anything if you don't take a risk.

That was your father's favorite phrase.

Don't talk to me about my father.

Don't forget how your father died.

[My dear, we need to find the formula left behind by Consort Li.]

[Or else, we'll lose everything.]

How is His Majesty?

His Majesty and Her Majesty are both fine.

Who is the one who did this today?

I investigated it.

The assassination today

was done by some of the rogue bandits.

It wasn't done by one of us.

That's good.

The situation now is messy enough.

If there's another party that is involved,

it'll ruin our plan.

Your Highness.

I think we need

to find that formula as soon as possible.

I know.

I've already given him a hint today.

Hopefully, he can find

the thing that is left behind by Consort Li.

What's wrong with you?

Why have you changed?

No.

I just feel tired because I didn't sleep last night.

I never thought that you would be quite handsome

when you weren't brewing an evil plan.

You've never complimented me sincerely.

I better keep that record clean then.

I wasn't sincere just now as well.

Are you here for something?

I'm here to get some medicine from you.

He has too many scars.

The medicine from the other imperial physicians is not effective.

I'm sure you have

some medicine here that can help him with the scars.

Use this.

Once in the morning and once at night.

The scars will be gone in seven days.

Thank you.

What is it?

Last time, we were talking about the Qianhuafu Formula.

I forgot.

I was too busy over the past few days.

You told me that it is a formula?

Yes.

It's a beauty formula.

I don't understand Liu Xie.

There are so many other good things.

But why does he want that beauty formula?

Maybe your father wants to preserve his youthful looks?

That's right.

That devil

must have wanted to preserve his youthful looks

so that he can keep on seducing my mother.

How can I find it?

Actually, we can work together.

Work together?

You are not that kind.

I'm not.

But I'm doing it for selfish reasons.

That, I can understand.

What are your selfish reasons?

After we found it, I want to make a copy of it.

After all, it's related to my profession.

I can understand that.

How can we find it then?

I need fewer guards in the palace

so that I can search through the palace.

If I remember it correctly,

there'll be a wedding between Senior General Ling's family

and Grand Tutor Wei's family in two days.

You'll attend it with His Majesty.

It'll be best if you can convince His Majesty

to bring more guards with him.

That's simple.

Because I'm going to attend it with him anyway.

So, is that an agreement?

Yes.

I'll get going now.

Jinfeng.

Are you here to change your dressing?

Isn't it too early for that?

No.

I have something to tell you personally.

Go ahead.

From today onward,

you should just let Shuan

apply the medicine for me.

Why?

I understand now. I know.

You know?

Of course.

Shuan must have complained that I didn't do a good job.

Last time, he already complained that I was being

too messy.

That's not the reason.

What's the reason then?

The reason behind this assassination

is that someone is jealous of our love.

That's why they did it.

If we continue

to show our affection for each other,

there'll be more hatred toward us.

When that happens...

When that happens, I'll protect you.

What if you are their target?

Are you foolish?

Then, you can block the attack for me again

just like what you did.

Actually, we don't have to show our affection for each other.

♪Suddenly you light up with a smile♪

♪Another page full of poems♪

♪What an exuberant vernal scene♪

♪If you are sincere and earnest♪

♪Keep it going year after year♪

We can just do this

in private.

♪I will fall for you when you show up♪

♪Suddenly your smiling face♪

I'm the only one who wants to look at you anyway.

♪Becomes unforgettable for me♪

Don't worry. With me here,

everything will be fine.

♪My heart is full of longing for you which accompanies me every day♪

Come. Take off your clothes.

♪My love for you is getting deeper and deeper♪

Now?

I don't think that's proper.

Time to change your dressing.

♪I'm still greedy♪

♪Even in my dreams♪

Coming.

Thank you for attending the wedding, Your Majesties.

It's an honor for my son.

You've graced

our ceremony today with your presence.

I'm really grateful for this.

I'm so grateful and touched.

There's no need to be so courteous.

Her Majesty and I

just want to thank you for your contributions to Donghao Empire.

It's only right for us to congratulate you in person.

Have you seen him before?

Do you know her before this?

So, you'll be meeting each other

for the first time?

They are meeting each other for the first time.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

It's only right for the parents

to arrange a marriage

for their children.

Your Majesty.

We made this marriage agreement when they were still kids.

No. I just want to say

that I didn't meet His Majesty until we were married too.

So, it'll be amazing for you two as well.

Yes.

(Is it really here as stated in the note?)

(But I already checked the place last time.)

[Ling's Residence]

This is good enough.

I have a gift for the bride.

It's too much.

Your Majesties have given us

so many gifts.

Those are from the Queen.

This is from me, Liu Jinfeng.

Your Majesty.

No need to kneel.

I'm Liu Jinfeng now.

My gift for you

is a wish.

If you need my help after this,

you can come to me.

Especially when he bullies you.

Let me tell you.

I'm very good at teaching evil people a lesson.

I won't do that, Your Majesty.

You better don't.

Remember to come to me.

Why aren't you saying anything?

You are really generous to others.

But you are so petty towards me.

I'm not.

You gave the bride a wish.

Why didn't you give me one?

You are the Emperor.

There's nothing that you can't do.

Who told you that an emperor can do whatever he likes?

Fine.

I'll give you a wish you.

What do you want?

Anything I want?

A queen doesn't joke around.

Then, I hope

that all of my wishes can be fulfilled.

How can you be so cunning?

So?

You said that a queen doesn't joke around.

I have an idea.

Tell me.

I really have a way

to make all of your wishes come true.

Believe me. A queen doesn't joke around.

Stop the carriage!
