Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Mischievous Concubine Team @ Viki
Chun Ping, I couldn't wake you up at all.
I have almost finished your work.
Continue to help me with it.
Why?
I have a headache.
You are rubbing your stomach.
I'm not done talking yet. My head and stomach hurt at the same time.
My head feels like a hundred bees fly in there and stung it more than a hundred times.
My stomach feels like there's a tornado in there.
It's turning and overwhelming.
Chun Ping, are you okay?
Are you having diarrhea?
I have constipation.
My hands and legs are weak and numb too.
Being able to stand here and talk to you is already a miracle.
Chun Ping, why don't I call the Imperial Physician to check on you?
No need. I want to lie down for a while.
Yan'er, I really feel bad.
That's why I wanted to come out to tell you about this.
Okay, fine. Go back to rest if you are unwell.
Don't worry, I will do your chores.
Thank you for your kindness.
Remember to call me when it's meal time.
No need to call you. I will bring it in and feed you.
My buddy. Good people will have a peaceful life.
I will keep your kindness in my heart.
It hurts.
Go back and rest now.
I'm the smart one.
I can go back to sleep. How nice.
I'm going to sleep now.
Truth and Lies Episode 35
This is brighter
but it may be too gaudy.
What abou this? This looks more pure.
If it's too pure, it looks too plain.
What about this?
Wan Wan, can you stop this? It's early in the morning.
Sorry.
What's that smell? It really stinks.
It's not me.
Close the window now.
It's closed.
Who farted?
It's really stinks, Older Sister Consort Meng.
Who pooped?
Old Yan, what are you doing?
Why are you here?
Old Yan, why are your eyebags so big?
Don't bother about this now. This is my newly created perfume.
It's my painstaking efforts. My representative work.
It's my pride.
I simmered it for the whole night without eating or drinking.
So how? Does it smell good?
Well...
Does it smell good?
Yes.
This is only half done.
Once I add more ingredients, the scent will be even more concentrated.
Wait here.
Didn't you just say it stinks?
She painstakingly worked on this the whole night.
It's not a good time to deal her with a blow now.
Is it fine to lie?
What if the truth hurts and it's a big blow to her?
At this time, you must tell her a white lie.
What are you whispering about?
Old Xiao, Wan Wan, you haven't given me your opinions yet. Come here.
We were discussing that it really smells good when you sniff it.
It's really so fragrant. What ingredients did you play with?
It's so fragrant that I'm going to drool.
Wan Wan, you really know your stuff.
The origin is definitely from a kind of vegetable and fruit.
Doesn't it make you salivate when you smell it?
What are they?
I used the essence of areca fruit and coriander.
Smells good, right?
Once you open the bottle.
it's like you can see the areca fruit and coriander holding hands
and dancing.
Dancing...dancing.
You are drunk. I'm leaving now.
Chun Ping is sick. Go with me to check her out.
Wan Wan, you don't look well too.
- Are you sick too? - No, no.
I broke my favorite necklace this morning.
I'm going to calm myself.
I'm going back.
You both go with me to check on Chun Ping. Let's go!
Why so little?
That's right. I can add other items for this too.
It will make the necklace even more beautiful.
Our Chun Ping looks strong.
She's actually weak and sick now.
Let's check on her.
Chun Ping.
Lie down. Don't get up.
My Lady, blame me for being useless.
My body is weak and I'm dizzy.
It can't be considered a serious illness.
But if it's considered a non-serious illness, I can't even get up to work.
I feel extremely, extremely guilty that I can't serve you.
I deserve to die.
Enough, quickly spit on it three times. (Belief that spitting will protect one from trickery or evil spirits)
Spit, spit, spit.
This is the way. Have a good rest.
Once you have recovered, make it up to me by slaving. Understand?
My Lady, how much welfare benefit do I get for stopping work for a day?
Is there such a welfare benefit?
It seems so. I think there is.
There weren't in the past. Starting from now, it definitely exists.
Chun Ping, don't worry.
Although you are lying here but in our hearts, you are still active.
Here and now, we won't neglect you.
Consort Meng.
If you want to eat something, just tell Yan'er. Don't be shy.
Thank you. Thank you.
Okay, have a good rest.
My Lady, take good care of yourself.
Okay. Have a good rest.
You will recover soon.
Have a good rest.
While Chun Ping is sick, we must give her lots of care and love.
- Brew some tonics for her. - I know.
Look at my necklace? Is it pretty or not?
What the devil is this?
Look at this. This is my first handiwork.
It took me a long time to string them. I'm having blisters on my fingers now.
But after seeing the result, I feel it's worth it.
What do you think? So how?
A treasure. What kind of treasure is this?
I have never seen this.
Splendid, magnificent, more beautiful than imagined. Everything is fine except for a small flaw. That's total perfection!
It doesn't give the rest of necklaces a way out.
Older Sister Consort Meng, I knew it.
You are the only one who can see its soul.
Thank you, thank you.
I'm going out to show off.
Ah Meng, are you blind?
Did you need to praise her this way? You are too exaggerating.
It's so gaudy. The colors are really weird.
No...Wan Wan painstakingly strung that necklace till she has blisters on her fingers.
If you say it's ugly, you will hurt her.
This is a white lie. You don't know anything.
Meng, did you think about this?
What if Wan Wan circles out there and someone tell her that it's ugly?
Will they?
We have a good relationship with her. Hence, we didn't want to tell her the truth
but others may not think this way.
That's right.
If someone suddenly tells her that it's ugly, she's not mentally prepared at all.
That won't be a small blow.
It's like you are walking on the road
and you bumped into the kidney that you lost.
Or it's just like after crossing Jiangdong, the overlord saw Imperial Concubine Qu having an affair.
Ordinary people can't accept this kind of taste.
It will definitely be the top provocation in her life.
You are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Fine. Let's see what you will do
when you are to be blamed later.
This is just a white lie. What't that to blame?
Even if someone says her necklace is ugly,
I can push the responsibilties to different aesthetic values.
Don't worry.
Fine. Just consider that I'm overthinking.
Anyway, if I'm Wan Wan, I will be even more hurt to hear the white lie.
Of course, I would choose the white lies.
You might not know. When I'm held up by work,
I would tell my wife that I'm working late.
You could have told the truth.
No, I can't!
You don't know my wife. Her brain is like a black hole!
Let's put it in the way. If I helped an old grandma cross the road on my way back home from work,
If I send the lost children back home,
She will still think that I have an affair and fool around.
I will be beaten up by her when I get home.
She beats me so hard that even my mother can't recognize me.
This is domestic violence. This is not allowed!
Of course, she doesn't beat me up every time.
She will change a way from time to time.
For example, she ignores me for ten days and doesn't cook for me.
She put on a face which is like her husband dies.
Cold violence is even worse!
So I say white lies can make the family harmony.
This is good for relationships and also beneficial for uniting the whole universe!
To be honest, my Lady, you may not know,
Sometimes if you tell the truth, you will be killed.
Even history needs to beautify the ruling class.
Pinch this part out!
- Don't report this. - Okay.
But even the emperor can't control the historiographers' writing.
Yes, the emperor doesn't control the historiographers' writing.
But he can control other body parts of the historiographers.
For example, there is a senior in our industry called Sima.
- Do you know him? - Oh, Sima Qian, I know
He didn't pay attention and presented frank advices to the emperor,
and he made the emperor mentally uncomfortable. In return, the emperor made him physically uncomfortable.
Every time when I think of this,
I feel pain on my special body part. (Penis. Sima Qian got castrated by the emperor.)
So, you need to tell more white lies.
Then you can pretend that everything goes well in the world. Thank you.
- Thank you. - You are welcome.
You can paint this half.
- Sir! - You scared the shit out of me!
May I ask if you prefer hurtful truth or kind lie?
- May I have a small request? - I choose the truth when I'm willing to listen to the truth.
- The Hurtful truth... -This actually is very...
Even if it pierces my heart.
The truth hurts people. The lie hurts the heart.
If not because I'm thick-skinned...
Who reported this?
Stay on the topic! Answer the question immediately!
- White lies... - are like sweet rain after drought.
- Soaking my entire body. - It feels good.
- All in all, you choose the kind lie? - I agree with you, my Lady.
No matter what you think, I'm always on your side!
Bah, not assertive!
Hey!
Take a look, everyone.
This is people‘s general thinking. I didn't add anything.
I didn't mislead with tricks, either. Then I got this conclusion.
Everyone thinks a white lie is better than a hurtful truth.
But the truth isn't grasped by the majority.
-What do you mean? - You didn't get what I mean?
A lie is lie in the end.
A lie is still a lie even though you add a lot of beautiful descriptions before it.
I'm not sure about Wan Wan.
But if there's someone cheating me,
I will definitely force him/her to take 18 bottles of honest potion made by myself.
Make him/her self-reflect thoroughly.
So many!
It's a lot indeed.
Not that many!
If he/she is still not honest, I have a lot in stock.
Enough to force him/her take 80 bottles.
What's up?
Nothing.
Are you cold? Ask Yan'er to bring you a coat.
It's not cold.
I just feel the chilly wind.
A little humid and a little annoyed.
I don't know how to describe it.
Did you hear "Randon Walk on a Quiet Night" launched a new bag again?
It's really nice!
What are you talking about?
What do you wear?
Is Glory and Splendor Palace poor like this?
How much is this necklace?
If it's over one wen, you were ripped off! (wen, Chinese ancient small money unit)
Didn't the emperor grant jewelry to you? Why do you wear this?
This is what you don't understand!
Let me tell you! This is not what I bought. This is what I made!
The jewelry from then emperor is too elegant.
It inevitably looks a bit old and conservative.
This is what I myself made!
And I also added some lively elements into the design!
Is it lively? You obviously wear rags!
It's not! It's you that don't understand beautiful!
Sister Meng says it's nice!
They are fooling you! You speak for them!
I can't find a word to describe you other than silly!
Bullshit! We four are sworn friends.
There's no use making mischief!
Do I need to make mischief?
The ugliness is already the fact!
They cheated you and you still take them as good friends!
Are you out of mind?
I can't allow you to keep talking nonsense!
Stop it!
By the way, mother, I remember what I gave you at that time...
what I give you last time...
Give it to me! Give it to me!
Throw it away!
Mother! Are you alright?
Empress Dowager, it looks they are fighting.
What are you doing? Stop immediately!
Pay our respect to Emperess Dowager.
What are you doing?
Empress Dowager, is everything okay?
Okay?
Look at yourselves! The palace is messed up by you all!
Emperess Dowager, it was all Imperial Concubine Qu's fault!
- She wears an ugly necklace and refuses any comments. She hit others first. - No!
Is the necklace yours?
Yes.
But the necklace was thrown over there by Imperial Concubine Zu!
- I'm really blameless. - Stop talking!
Lou takes special care of people in Glory and Splendor Palace. But You don't have any sense of propriety.
If I got hurt, you, you are in big trouble!
Imperial Concubine Qu, Empress Dowager won't find out the truth for my sake.
But this is based on the precondition that you pick up all the beads on the bridge so it won't hurt others!
Since Lou said this, then I won't investigate you!
Imperial Concubine Wang and Imperial Concubine Zu, watch her pick up all the beads!
Yes!
Lou, let's go somewhere else.
Sure!
What are you waiting for! Quickly pick them up!
Quick!
What's wrong? Who bullied you?
Wan Wan, who is dead?
Stop crying!
It's getting dark! How long will you be crying?
- Doesn't your throat hurt? - It hurts.
If it hurts, drink some water.
Lies are demons!
Why are you screaming?
We are family. Are you trying to eat us or something else?
That's right. Talk sensibly if you have anything to say.,
It's your fault. And the both of you too.
If you didn't trick me in saying that my necklace is pretty,
I wouldn't have gone out and embarrassed myself.
If you didn't take it seriously and lie to me,
would I become like this?
You all share the same vile habits.
Your stench befouls the air. Your stinking repuation is notorious far and beyond!
Rotten reputation, rotten salted fish.
Wan Wan can speak idioms now.
Should we celebrate this with wine?
Actually, Ah Meng said that telling white lies is better than telling the truth.
That's why we lied to you.
I'm going to ignore you.
She didn't had any evil intentions.
She didn't want to dampen your spirits.
Do you need to be that angry?
You should know this. When she praises your perfume,
behind your back, she said that there's nothing worse than the stench. Would you still think this way too?!
Bu Meng!
I need to go to the latrine.
Is she telling the truth?
- I need to pee. - You are not allowd to pee. Hold it in!
As for this...
I didn't expect a white lie would cause this trouble.
Liars. They are liars.
Why did you lie to me?
I regarded you as my friends for life.
His Majesty will have a bad impression of me now. It's your fault.
It's all your fault!
So annoying. Why did you lie to me?
Is she trying to kill us?
I just fixed the tiles last month.
Old Xiao, go up there, knock her unconscious and bring her down now.
I can't. My martial arts is not for slaughtering the same human race.
Who wants you to slaughter her?
Even more so for hitting older and younger sisters.
Meng, go up there and make things clear to her now.
Why? I can't talk to her.
Let her vent her anger. I'm going to sleep.
You can even sleep in such a situation?
What should we do then?
I still don't know what I did wrong.
The public's opinon is the same as mine.
White lies are done with good intentions.
If the result is bad, it's just an accident.
Accident?
I'm not letting you fall into an accident because I'm logical now.
It doesn't mean what you did was right.
What's there that can't be said between sisters?
Do we really need to hear the truths from outsiders?
- This is not what I meant. - What did you mean?
Stop fighting. I'm going back to my room now to think about this.
Get her down from there first.
I think it's safer for you to go from there.
Should I tell them or should I not?
I...
If I tell them, what if they don't forgive me?
But if I don't tell them, I feel very guilty.
Chun Ping.
Yan'er.
- So how? Do you feel better? - I feel so much better.
I brought you a bowl of meat porridge.
Don't move.
You are still so pale. Let me feed you.
Here.
How is it?
Noble Lady Xiao, jogging?
Wait.
What's up?
Can you relay a message to Consort Meng for me?
Tell her yourself. I'm not a messenger.
I'm afraid if I change my mind in front of her, she will complain I'm fickle and hit me.
Hence, I would like to request that you relay my message to her.
Do I look like I wouldn't hit anyone?
It's not that.
I'm just joking. Speak.
Scared me to death.
It's like this.
When she asked me if I would prefer to listen to white lies and truths,
I chose white lies.
But after thinking about this, I realized there's a problem with my choice.
It's because I didn't take into consideration the most person person to me. That's why I chose that.
Your most important person? Who? That assassin?
Su Su. Of course, it's Su Su.
If it's Su Su, I prefer to hear the hurtful truth
even if it pierces my heart, I'm fine with it. As long as she tells me the truth.
I can't take any more lies from her.
Whether it's kindness, politeness or done half heartedly,
it must not be done.
Fine. I will definitely pass your message.
Okay. Really?
This is great.
Noble Lady Xiao!
- Noble Lady Xiao. - What do you want?
Why do you have this attitude when you see me?
Who wants to see the Imperial Physician? I'm not even sick.
Yes, you are not sick. I'm the one who's sick instead.
Is it contagious?
It's mental illness. It's not contagious.
It's like this.
Consort Meng asked me yesterday whether I prefered to hear hurtful truths or white lies.
At that time, I told here that I would go with her flow.
She said I didn't have any opinions.
She was right in scolding you. What objections do you still have?
I don't have any. When I went back, I thought about it again.
Telling lies just to flatter someone is not right.
What is your real choice then?
The truth.
The truth is alway better than a lie.
A lie will be exposed sooner or later.
- Short term pain is better than long term pain... - I got it.
Hey...Thank you for helping me to relay the message.
I will give you a complimentary check-up next time.
The women in the harem have medical insurance. It has always been complimentary.
Contagious? Want to fight? Outwardly strong but inwardly weak.
Historical Museum
Noble Lady Xiao.
Do you want to change your answer too?
As a historian, you are so fickle. How can we guarantee your character?
If we can't even guarantee your character, how do you expect us to trust what you wrote?
I didn't even say anything yet.
Sorry, I was overthinking.
Noble Lady Xiao, wait.
I wanted to say, you stole my lines.
Yes, I want to change my answer but this doesn't mean that I'm fickle.
I was merely joking with Consort Meng.
I didn't expect her to think it was real.
With your kind of humor, how can you write history books? You should write comedies instead.
Who would write that lousy stuff?
Noble Lady Xiao, stop scolding me.
I regretted after making that joke.
But if Consort Meng took it for real, what should we do if other people misunderstood?
No, did Consort Meng go astray?
She's already halfway there.
Pull her out from there immediately.
Help me to relay to Consort Meng that one must be righteous and speak the truth.
Even if it's unpleasant to the ears and however hurtful the truth is,
as long as the original intention is good, it's still better those lies.
A historian like me should learn from Senior Sima.
Be upright and never bend.
Your enlightenment is rather high.
I'm a scholar. Hence...
Imperial Kitchen
Noble Lady Xiao, good morning.
Can you let me jog in peace?
- Have you eaten? If not, come inside and eat something. - I'm not eating. Thanks.
How can you not have breakfast? If you don't, it's to have low blood sugar level.
If it's frequent, it can easily cause gall bladder inflammation.
Of course, I don't know anything about this.
Consort Yan told me about this.
Get to the point. Stop beating around the bush.
Since you said this, I have something to trouble you.
Can you help me to relay a message to Consort Meng?
What a big suprise. What did I do?
I got up this morning to have a nice jog and I'm going to a pigeon carrier soon.
It's just a verbal message. It's not that troublesome.
If you help me,
I will treat you to two big buns, garlic chives and eggs.
If you want beef and onions, it's fine too.
I'm not eating. Thank you.
I will give you three seconds to speak. Speak. Three...
I thought about it yesterday. I still think that's it better to tell hurtful truths than white lies.
I rather that others hurt me than to lie to me and keep me in the dark.
- If it continues, I will need to cover a lie with another lie. I will become more bloated then. - Two...
If one can be brave and face the cruel reality, what else can defeat him?
Isn't that so?
Noble Lady Xiao, although I'm not very educated
this might be the most logical thing I have ever said.
- You must help me to relay the message to her. - One.
Goodbye.
Meng, that's what they said.
I have already relayed what they entrusted me with.
The rest is up to you.
I know I'm wrong.
If I had known earlier, I should have told the truth.
I won't have been called a hypocrite too.
What should I do now to make up for it?
Speak the truth from now on.
This is the best way to make-up for your past mistakes.
Talking about you, you are too much too.
To Wan Wan and me, what you said was totally different from what's in your heart.
How do you expect us to communicate with you in the future?
How we will be able to distinguish your true colors?
Yan, I have already apologized eight times.
Eighty times won't even be enough.
It's definitely not enough. I was wrong.
The voting result is already out.
Telling someone the hurtful truth is definitely better than a white lie.
Do you have any objections?
- No - No.
Don't tell me you dare to have any?
Anyway, we must speak the truth in the future.
Chun Ping.
Chun Ping, how are you?
Why are you here?
We heard you were sick and came specially to visit you.
Chun Ping, look.
I specially entrusted someone to bring free-range eggs from the village for you. They are very nutritious.
Look, I even peeled it for you. Try it.
You even peeled it?
That's right. Yan'er said you were sick and had no energy. I peeled it for you.
I washed my hands. It's very clean.
Open your mouth.
What's wrong? Did you choke? Yan'er, pour some water now.
Yes, water.
Chun Ping, drink this now. It's not hot.
I'm sorry for lying.
I'm not sick at all. I deceived everyone.
I wanted to slack off. That's why I told a lie.
But when My Ladies came to visit me, I couldn't continue to stop lying.
This lie became bigger.
Seeing how well you are treating me,
I feel very shameless.
Not only are you shameless, you are evil and disgusting too.
Do you know I love eggs very much? I kept all these for you.
You are great at pretending.
That's right.
How could you do this?
Let's go.
Yan'er, I...
Chun Ping, I was really concerned about you but you have been lying to me.
This is too much.
Yan'er, I was wrong. Forgive me.
If you can be forgiven that easily, who will compensate for my kindness?
I will compensate.
Who will pay me for the concerns I have shown? Who will compensate me for that?
I will make up for it.
I know my mistake.
I shouldn't have lied so that I can slack off.
Another liar.
Why are you looking at me? Am I wrong?
Wan Wan, people will make mistakes.
You must give someone like us the chance to change.
Chun Ping, I'm very disappointed in you.
How could you still have peace of mind for making use of our concerns for you?
You only need to open your mouth to be fed and stretch your hands to be dressed.
You were so happy that you can't differentiate North from South.
My Lady, I really know my mistake now.
I will tell the truth in the future. I won't lie again.
Enough, stop lecturing her.
Yan'er didn't do anything chores today. Chun Ping did everything.
This is how I should make up for it.
Since you know that you are wrong and have knelt for a long time,
and make up for what you should,
let me say this.
This matter will end here.
Fine. Chun Ping, get up.
I'm so furious with you that my neck hurts.
My Lady, I will give you a massage.
Use more strength.
You rested for so many days. Where did your energy go?
- Meng Meng. - Your Majesty.
What's this scent? It's very fragrant.
It's perfume made from areca fruit and coriander.
Knowing that I'm here to see you, Consort Yan sprayed it all over my body.
She said that you like this scent.
Stop listening to her nonsense. No matter what scent you have, I will still like it very much.
What's wrong? You can take my praises?
Looks like I don't give you enough praises. That's why your immunity is low.
Come. let me praise you more for you to get used to it.
- You are very cute. You are so cute. - It's enough.
Come, take a seat.
Try this. This is the Qingxin cooling tea that I painstakingly blended for you.
I know you have been frustrated lately. Come, drink this to cool down.
Does it taste good?
It's...so unpalatable.
It has such a sour taste.
Whoever drinks this will die.
Are you trying to sentence me to death?
I went to the Imperial Kitchen and personally brewed this for you.
I'm upset hearing you say that.
My Majesty,
don't be unhappy.
For the past few days, either from telling the truths or lies, it has caused me to go crazy.
If it were you, which would you choose?
Telling the truth, naturally.
Although telling the truth makes one feel uncomfortable but being honest will never be wrong.
You have great insights.
Hence, don't blame me for being direct.
Fine, I won't blame you.
Then...let me ask you something.
If I give you the chance to choose again, will you fight to gain my favors or avoid it?
Of course, avoid it! Do I still need to choose again?
- Even if I'm given the choice to choose a hundred times again, the answer will still be the same. - Why?
Who doesn't know that you are fickle-minded?
One may be favored today. Who knows? We may lose favor the next day.
The danger ratio is so high. Who wants to squeeze in and break our heads?
Fine. Go back for your afternoon nap then.
Avoid my favors. I'm afraid I might accidentally favor you again.
Didn't you say you won't blame me for being honest?
I'm not blaming you.
Really?
You spoke the truth. Why would I blame you?
Go back for your afternoon nap.
God! What should I choose?!
I can't lie and I can't tell the truth.
Why don't you just turn me into a mute?!
You can't turn into a mute.
If you do, who will gossip with me?
Consort Yan.
Enough.
I already thought this through for you.
Should you choose to tell the hurtful truth or white lies?
- Which should I choose? - Neither one of them.
Because these are not the only two choices. There's still another option.
The roundabout truth.
- Roundabout truth? - That's right.
Gradually let the other party accept realities and know himself.
It's not hurtful or hypocritical.
For example, I'm asked you, "How's the perfume?".
You can say " Someone may like it but I'm not used to it and can't accept the scent".
Or for example, Wan Wan asked you "How's my necklace?"
You can tell her "Being diligent in doing handicraft is worthy of encouragement
but it might not suit everyone's aesthetics."
Advise her to wear a prettier necklace.
Thus, when His Majesty asked me that question, I should have replied,
"If I have the chance to choose again, I didn't know you then."
"I didn't know you are a man who values love and loyalty".
"Hence, I chose to avoid your favors."
That's right. Look, it's not like you didn't understand.
Why didn't I say this?
