All language subtitles for épisode 72 VO

What did those disgusting servants confess?

They admitted it. Apart from the murdering, they said more

and?

What else?

others are just some small cases

but there is one that I have to report

what is it?

Emperor,

the reason of xun yuan queen's death

is related to the queen...

how dare you?

I don't meant to

you tell me everything

yes

I've asked the doctor. Normally eating small amounts of Ba Jiao is fine

But pregnant women cannot ingest even a little

Medicines like Ba Jiao

can have aborting effects. Although the effects are not as obvious has Hong Hua

But if you cook the medicine, it can seep into food

After a long time, it can be very harmful. Also, the tea was switched to Tao Ren, which is also very harmful

Since it was mixed in, it was very hard to differentiate the taste

All of this was in Empress Chun Yuan's food and drink

Is this straight from the servants' mouth?

Jian Qiu didn't say anything, but Eunch Jiang

told us everything

Also, Empress Chun Yuan's stillborn fetus was purple with bruises. That is also clear evidence.

But wasn't that because the consort

used to make Chun Yuan worried and stressed all the time?

The doctors say that all that stress just hid these signs

So it was her. Yes.

Other than harming Empress Chun Yuan, there is much more.

I thought that they were sisters.

Blood sisters

She was always loving and gentle to Chun Yuan

Bring her here. We have been husband and wife for many years

I believe

that she tried to scheme for the throne

and kill royal children

But about Chun Yuan, I want to hear from her directly

Yes.

At this point, do you confess your guilt?

If you already believe it, what is the point of asking me?

I need to hear it from you directly

You think that I still want to see your face?

I have aged, it is no surprise that you do not want to see my face.

I just wonder if Jie Jie was still alive, if you would like her aged face as well.

I deeply regret

I should have let you see her aged face as well

Then you may not hate me so much

Beauty is the result of a pure heart

Even if Chun Yuan ages and becomes frail, she will still be superior to you a thousand fold

You gave me this jade bracelet to me when I first married into the palace. You even put it on me yourself.

We hoped to be like this bracelet. To see each other every day.

Yet today, you say you don't want to see me anymore because I've made mistakes

Back then, you would look at this bracelet and say to me

that if I bore sons, then I would be the official wife.

Yet when I did bear a son, you already married my sister and made her the official wife

And my son had to be the son of a consort instead

He had to be like me, the child of a consort instead of an official wife.

You know I didn't care of the difference statuses of a consort vs official

My mother didn't care either. Both my mother and I were born from consorts

But emperor, how could you understand?

The daughters of consorts are so miserable

Consort vs official determines your fate

My mother and I rarely got respect

Do you understand?

I do understand. And because I understand

when you married me, I treated you very well. Even when Chun Yuan became the official, I made you the second highest.

Yet you are never satisfied.

What should have been my official position was snatched away by another

The crown prince position was also snatched away

Even my husband's love and affection was given to her

I want to be satisfied, but I can't

Chun Yuan was your blood sister!

It was my mistake to let you marry into the family

Your mistake wasn't marrying me,

but rather marrying my Jie Jie, and only loving my Jie Jie

If you think you're smart
there's always someone smarter.

You are so wise, how can you not understand when it is your own issue

It was my mistake to so highly regard your sisterly affection

Are you afraid of bad karma?

You're not afraid that Chun Yuan and her stillborn will come haunt you?

If she wants to haunt me, let her!

That way I can stop imagining and hearing my child nonstop crying

When my child was ill, Jie Jie just became pregannt

You only cared that Jie Jie was pregnant. You didn't care about our child

He was only 3 years old. His whole body was hot with fever and died from lack of medical treatment

I held his body in my arms and walked in the rain the entire night

I wanted to ask the gods for help

If you want a life, take mine, not my son's

And then Jie Jie got pregnant. Her son took my son's life! How could I sit idly as her son becomes the Crown Prince

You're crazy

It was MY decision to marry Chun Yuan. It was MY choice to make her the official wife.

It was ME that had a child with her. Why didn't you hate me?

You think I didn't want to?

I wanted to hate you

But I couldn't do it

In your eyes, all you could see was Jie Jie.

How could you know that my love for you was no less that your love for Jie Jie

Emperor

You think that Jie Jie loved you a lot?

You think Noble Consort Xi loves you?

All women who love their husbands cannot stand watching their husband love and have children with others

I can't do it.

You think that I'm evil and jealous, but I'm the one that truly loves you

Thus, I did so much

You disgust me.

- music -

If it wasn't that I was in the position of Empress, having to protect myself

I would hope that you can remember some of my good traits

Don't you think I wish I wasn't jealous?

My instinctual loyalty to you is also the source of my pain

The Empress

Empress Wulanla,

Disobeyed God's will

Killed royal children and schemed for the throne, despite being the mother of the country

Is demoted to a citizen and is house arrested for eternity

Get my seal

Yes

Good Night Emperor

Why are you here Gu Gu

I know that there has been much chaos today. In order to relieve your stress, I have brought the Dowager's royal decree

My mother had a decree?

I do not dare to lie to you. If you do not believe me, you can look at the decree

It is in the Dowager's handwriting

We can read this later. First I want to get rid of this evil woman.

The Dowager's decree is regarding today's issue. Would the Emperor please kneel to receive the decree?

After my passing, if the Emperor wishes to get rid of the Empress, our Wu family cannot bear the shame.

The Emperor cannot get rid of the Empress.
This is indeed my mother's handwriting

Wife Ci'er Wulanala, of noble bearing and virtuous upbringing,

possesses all necessary women's virtues, is learned in the six practices, has displayed gentleness and excellence,

and is worthy of being the mother of the nation. Ordained by the Empress Dowager, I became Empress with all proper ceremonies.

The End.

That was the royal decree you wrote when you made me empress. Do you remember?

You are a filial son. You cannot disregard the Dowager's decree

The only reason I did not follow the Dowager to heaven, was to enforce this last decree

But her crime is unforgivable

I must get rid of her

Even Chun Yuan and the Dowager would be angered

With her last breath, the Dowager instructed me that if you still want to get rid of the Empress, I would ask you

What was Chun Yuan's last words when she was dying?

Chun Yuan was already very frail

her head rested on my knees and said

I cannot accompany you into old age

Even our child did not survive

I only have one sister. I hope you can look after her no matter what

Do not get rid of her

You promised her that you would never get rid of her sister

You must forgive the Empress so that Chun Yuan can rest in peace

You dislike the Empress. You do not even want to call her by her name. You call her by her last name

But Chun Yuan was also by the same last name

And the Dowager was by that name. Even you, the emperor, have blood from the Wu family.

It is the Dowager's decree that the Wu family cannot be removed as Empress

Seeing as I am feeling nostalgic

The Wu family woman is house arrested to this palace and can never leave until she dies.

Go get my decree that made her Empress

And the royal seals

We are never to meet again in this lifetime

I got it.

Can't you hear all this noise?

If the Emperor gets angry, look out for your lives!

Bo Ke has raised an army of 40,000

If Ye Ming Guan falls, then Beijing may not be safe either

I also know his ambition very well

All these years, there has been much trouble within the nation, that I haven't had time to take care of this matter

Today, even a small tribe dares to usurp me!

We just took care of Xi Bei. There was also another uprising. The treasury is much depleted

If Bo Ge attacks now, we will indeed have to scramble

I sent General Bo Er Dan

can't handle the heat. Every year many die from illness. We are truly unable to handle it

If we had to send another general

it would be a little difficult at the moment

It is easy to have soldiers, but difficult to find a good general.

I dare to say something disrespectful... If we could use 14th Prince...

No.

It is easy to free a tiger, but difficult to tame. Once he is free, if he decides to rebel, it will be a big trouble

We all don't want to anger the emperor. We don't know how to serve him.

Haven't you seen all the reports being sent to the Emperor these days?

How to serve? Serve as if you life depends on it.

Yong He Gong's servants came to ask if the Emperor wants to eat lunch there.

The Emperor ate little for breakfast

He hasn't even touched lunch. He's worked so hard, even his eyes are red.

then what's wrong with the Emperor?

What's wrong? Ask God

The person who takes my place in battle

should at least be a royal prince or lord

17th prince is a good choice

But his mother's status isn't very high. He's also not very politically active.

But you have considered many factors; I am in awe.

He's always loved studying. I will give him a promotion then.

As for the fighting general, you need to choose well.

Yes

You need to do this quietly. Give 2000 men to 17th prince.

Once the front lines are more settled, you can send him in.

Yes

Close the window, I don't want to hear the wind.

Yes.

Don't worry, Emperor, you are so powerful that you can have everything under control.

Take a look at this!

Zhun Ge Er wants the Qing Empire to pay him 300,000 taels

This Mo Ge is Zhun Ge Er's new Khan (King), young and full of energy, ambitious

By doing so, one, he is tested the Qing's power

Two, he wants to use this chance to go to war and go down into history as a good warrior that won lands

Mo Ge is testing Your Majesty, you cannot agree to his request

That goes without saying. He does not know his boundaries because he has strong armies and plentiful harvest

I cannot look over this matter

Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Ting Yu wishes an audience with you

Yes

I will take my leave first

I greet Your Majesty.

Get up.

Yue General has sent an urgent about that the enemy solders had food poisoning.

The heavens look after my Qing Empire

Zhun Mo Ge requests for an audience with Your Majesty

Why does he want to come to the capital?

The Khan has come to the capital at this time when his armies are strong and their harvest bountiful

Your Majesty, we must be wary of them

You send people to the Khan's and find out his motives and reasons

I remember Physician Wen left a prescription

Maybe it would be able to put into use

Yes

Older sister, we cannot let the 17th Brother go into war. His Majesty has always been jealous of his talent

This honour of going into war, the previous Prince has seen to its 'benefits'

His Majesty's temperamental you know it well, even I cannot say anything to this decision

But to stop this, there is only one way. And the only excuse is to say that one is useless

This way, His Majesty would be happy and 18th Brother (Wangye) with then be safe

Can't the Wangye not go?

The Court is in want of competent people.
There are not many qinwangs that the Emperor can trust.

No wonder Yun Xi (her husband) is so fed up and raving at home. The country is on verge of war and he wants to bring armies

Only that he has written many reports to the King, but the King has replied none

Beile Shen (Yun Xi) is still young. Naturally, there'll still be plenty of opportunities for him to contribute.

Only 17th brother is appreciated by the King

Forget it.

Wangye is unlucky to be used by the King. I'm so worried for him.

Who knows his future?

Mo Ge is already near the capital but Your Majesty is not anxious to see him

I refuse to give him glory coming to the capital

Mo Ge comes to capital full of zest, Your Majesty's cold shoulders is the best remedy to cool him down.

2 days later is 7th day of 7th month, I will go Yuan Ming Yuan (famous garden) to see him

The relevant details get Lord Zhang to plan

Your Majesty, Mo Ge is outside, waiting for an audience with you

- Tell him to come in.
- Yes.

Announcing Zhun Mo Ge coming.

Liking something for me means I like it and I will try anything to obtain it.

Khan is here to see your Majesty.

You came here to meet your Majesty, why are you not using our etiquette.

“Isn't it delightful to have friends coming from distant place?"

Today is July the 7th and you Majesty has invited close friend and family for the banquet.

Hearing Khan say proverb in Zhun Ge Er language,"Isn't it delightful to have friends coming from distant place?"

Jun Zi deal with things carefully without errors as well as treat people respectfully

All men between Four Seas should be all brothers!

- I haven't seen you for awhile.
- You still look the same.

Khan seems to like the Analects of Confucius.

My 17th brother, Prince Guo of the Second Ran loves the poetry and literature the most.

Khan and him can learn from each other when you are free.

Han only pour liquor on floor when it comes to people dying
How dare you curse me?

Khan has misunderstood. I didn't mean to curse you. I am using the highest regard to welcome you to our palace.

Khan is our special guest. The first glass of wine is to thank the god to bring in the special guest.

This is a little bit far fetched.

Khan don't blame yourself. The only interaction our nations have are only for trading

for many days their has been many deaths because of the war

Without a doubt, our relations became alienated
Hopefully, your attendance to Da Qing today can improve our relations

Then there's no more wars;
citizens can have peaceful life as well

How wise and eloquent are you, Xi Noble Consort
You look nothing like the consorts who always keep indoors

Khan, I am flattered
I am only stating the truth

what is know was taught to me by the emperer

How can I accept this praise from you Khan?

What she said is exactly what I meant

Cheers, Khan
For the joy of meeting today

Ok. Wish Da Qing Emperor long live！

Sit

Present.
Today is the 7 day of the 7 month.

I have a special item that I want to share with you together

I gained a Nine Jade Rings a few years ago. The name was given because lots of jade craftsmen sacrificed themselves

during plucking as well as worked diligently to make the ring

It is said that Zhong Yuan is full of intelligent people

May I ask you to do me a favor to unlock this Nine Jade Rings?

Present this to all the Da Chen,
whoever unlock it can receive grand prize

Yes

Dancing time

Emperor said that whoever unlock this can be greatly rewarded. What do you think?

What do you think?

Sir,

-Please take a look, Da Ren,
-No, I don't know

No no

Da Ren, what do you think?

-How do you feel about it?
- The jade rings are turned out naturally, I can't undo this

Won't you take a closer look, please?

Emperor, nobody can unlock the rings

Show it to all Wang Ye

Yes

Go away, I feel dizzy

I don't know either

-Yun Xi
-I usually don't like golden or jade jewelry

I have not a clue

Xi Noble Consort

-I can't solve it
-So I guess "Da Qing is full of wise" is just a fake rumor

So its not true that the Qing Dynasty has many wise men

Long Yue

Yes

Dad, I have an idea, maybe that would work

Even the Court officials can't come up with a solution.
How can a girl like you have a solution?

Your daughter is young and lacks knowledge.
Even if I give the wrong solution, no one will laugh. Why don't you let me try?

Fine then.

Look, Imperial father! I've untangled it!

Longyue is the most favored in my heart.

You don't have to compliment me because everyone in Da Qing knows how to do it.They just too disdained to tell you

How could you...!, this Nine Jade Rings is priceless

To me,the jade rings is a very common item.Merely for a little piece of jewelry,you completely lose your tolerance.Are all Zhun

Ge Er people that cheap?

The jade rings are our nation's precious item.
Now that you break it, how are you going to responsible for it?

Longyue.

The princess is young. Please don't be angry, Khan.
Congratulations, Khan.

The Princess's friendly action, in fact, will bring your nation auspicious and harmonious air.

Jade stands for ominous things which would bring harm to civilians.Thus,princess actually helped break the unlucky jade

Of course, breaking the jade rings made Khan feel unhappy.

Xi Noble Consort is right

If hatred continues war in inevitable
Why not change for the better don't know of Ke Han agrees

Using ants to stop a predator?

What does Your Majesty think?

Your Majesty, this is the newly brewed orange wine. Your Majesty give it a taste.

Mr Zhang Ting Yu wanted to me tell you
that his part was a success

Ferocious beast has its power.

Mole crickets and ants (also means tiny individuals with no power) have its own brightness.

Khan, do you really know for sure who is going to win?

It looks as if mole crickets and ants (also means tiny individuals with no power) have been losing for several rounds.

Making concession in order to gain advantages. I believe Khan has studied books on the art of war, right?

Khan likes to think that way but I hope it is not just talking in random.

I am the son of the god. Every word carries weight.

Dragon gave birth to nine sons. There might be more than one son of the god.

We both have the same root, why do we try to hurt each other? Your nation belongs to me. Of course, I care about you.

I have just heard that some of your solders have had little food poisoning out there.

You are away from home, perhaps you don't have enough medication.

Several years ago, we also had similar food poisoning happened.

I do have some secret recipe. If Khan needs it, I am more than happy to send someone to find it for you.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Khan will find it myself.

That's fine. However, those doctors travel everywhere.

If I send people out to look for it, it might take as long as several months.

I wish Khan well.

I like to go and change, please.

- Niang Niang. I have good news.
- Su eunuch.

I have good news! Mr Yue Zhong Qi pretended to
confront with Zhun Ge Er secretly attacked his forage army

Without the forage, his army also infected with an epidemic
I kind of want to see how he's going to be superior

What a good news!

Your Majesty will be very happy when he learned the news. I will be there momentarily.

Yes.

Please wait!

Hail Ke Han

How have you been, Noble Consort Ci?

What do you mean, Khan? I have never met you before.

Why are you talking as if I have seen you before?

I have eyes of eagle and never forget anyone I ever met.

Noble Consort Ci, you are really brave.

You dare to have affair with Your Majesty's brother.

I have never make trouble for Khan.

Why would you think of harm my entire family?

Are you not afraid I told Your Majesty what I saw years ago?

About years ago,

Prince Guo of the Second Rank's 2nd wife is my sister who shares similar facial feature with me.

I have heard Prince and his 2nd wife travelled together and met Khan when you were hurt by a snake.

Now that friends met again, Prince and his 2nd wife were going to invite you for a drink.

You really are good at words.

The women like Noble Consort Ci who are beautiful and smart at the same time.

Your Emperor of Qing likes it, and I like it too.

Khan, you're drunk. I'll notify the Emperor to fix a potion to help you wake up.

That's not necessary. Do you really think I'm afraid of your Emperor?

He burned all the food for my army in secret and using the food poisoning to threaten me.

It is too contemptible.

How can Khan not know that in war nothing is too deceitful?

Disaster is caused by luck
Luck appeared with disaster,

Noble Consort Ci, do you believe that I have some lost

but at the same time I am going to have some gain?

As long as we can put an end to the war and have peace, it is gain for both Qing Dynasty and your nation.

I hope the thing I want, Your Emperor of Qing

will be willing to part with.

- scene -

I have confirm it for Your Majesty. It did happen.

You take your people and make sure you find the evidence.

I got it.

Your Majesty, Khan Mo Ge would like to see you for an important matter.

Khan said there is something he really like and hoping Your Majesty will grant it to him.
