Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

20

Episode 15

21

Consort Xian, you speak so lightly.

22

What if one day you and I are lucky to be pregnant?

23

And we get affected by Lady Mei and we can't birth smoothly?

24

Then you will go and commit suicide like her?

25

Enough. Stop the nonsense talk.

26

Yes.

27

Noble Consort, I know you have Great Qing's flourishing in mind.

28

But what you said does seem to lack some proper measure.

29

I know my wrong.

30

Your Majesty, then your plan --

31

Empress, you look after Noble Lady Yi's pregnancy too.

32

And about Noble Lady Mei, have her go to Anhua Hall.

33

Closer to the Buddhist chant and it will soothe her mindset.

34

Your Majesty, but she's --

35

Noble Lady Mei's child is already gone.

36

Now I want to know who is so bold and daring.

37

To spread rumors and delude the minds.

38

I will never forgive them.

39

Noble Consort, go back.

40

I take my leave.

41

That day, besides me, only Empress, Consort Xian, Qi Ru and Wang Qin who saw the child.

42

Yes. All others who saw the baby were sent out that night.

43

They wouldn't have had time to say anything in the palace before.

44

Empress, could it be Wang Qin?

45

While he was sending out the child someone saw him?

46

Wang Qin has served Your Majesty for years and he shouldn't make that mistake.

47

Afterwards he even came to report to me.

48

So he carefully sent out Lady Mei's child.

49

And the arrangements were properly done.

50

I understand then.

51

Sending off Your Majesty.

52

What's got you so fixated?

53

Greetings to Noble Lady Jia.

54

Noble Lady Yi is pregnant and Jinyang Palace is surely lively.

55

Yes. Noble Lady Yi used to be just a palace maid who served His Majesty.

56

Noble Lady Mei is even just a lute entertainer from southern manor.

57

But they were favored and became so bright.

58

How many are so jealous.

59

Actually they are all just servants.

60

A'Rou you are prettier than Noble Lady Yi.

61

And your father's successful too so maybe one day you will be luck too.

62

Noble Lady Yi has a great mistress as Empress.

63

I won't have such luck.

64

It's true. Consort Xian won't allow you to climb up.

65

I bet she's very guarding against you.

66

Look how you are so youthful and pretty. Who wouldn't like it if you dressed up.

67

His Majesty is so handsome and affectionate too.

68

So many are so eager to serve him.

69

Not everyone has the chance, that's all.

70

- Where's A'Rou?

- Your fox cloak is old.

71

A'Rou so she will go and pick up some new ones at leather shop.

72

She's been gone so long so it's probably taking a while.

73

Mistress, you seem upset.

74

The palace rumors are boiling overwelmingly.

75

The palace was never absent of rumors, so why worry about it?

76

Suoxin, if the rumor that His Majesty minds the most,

77

comes among me, Empress, Wang Qin and Qi Ru, the four,

78

what do you think His Majesty would think?

79

His Majesty wouldn't suspect you.

80

Really? His Majesty is already investigating it.

81

Hope it will be clear soon.

82

Eunuch Wang.

83

Greetings to Noble Consort.

84

His Majesty's order for you to carry out. How's that going?

85

Replying to you, I am following it tightly.

86

If you disappoint His Majesty,

87

it means you don't disappoint me.

88

Yes.

89

- Go now.

- Yes.

90

Qi Ru, you've worked for me for a long time.

91

I've served Your Majesty for over ten years.

92

What I love the most about you is you hold your tongue.

93

But now with rumors rampant all over the palace.

94

Your Majesty, if the rumors came out of my mouth,

95

I am willing to take on all punishments deserved for the crime of deceiving the king.

96

That's good then. I just wanted to verify.

97

These days, don't go around the palace.

98

Stay at your own manor.

99

I shall remember.

100

Noble Lady Mei's fetus was due to her own lack of luck.

101

Noble Lady Yi, you've got His Majesty's protection and Empress's care, so what's there to worry?

102

What's most important is your royal heir in your womb.

103

The rumors around the palace shouldn't bother you.

104

Yes. You live in this Jinyang Palace.

105

And you have the meaning of the palace being bright and beautiful.

106

And the second character of the palace name signifies male, a great sign.

107

So I think you're likely pregnant with a prince.

108

If you could truly birth a prince, His Majesty would be so delighted.

109

Noble Lady Yi, you came from Empress's side too.

110

Now, you are bringing praise to her too.

111

Everyone says when you're pregnant you're scared of the cold,

112

Noble Lady Yi, you'll have to make sure to burn more charcoal pots.

113

You're detailed-minded, Noble Lady Jia.

114

I am indeed scared of the cold.

115

Sister Chun, you always say eating fish and shrimp will make the fetus strong.

116

Why don't you mention that here with Noble Lady Yi?

117

You're so biased.

118

It's only a few months into it and look how rushed you are.

119

His Majesty's not even rushing.

120

How can I not rush? I wish I could burn a few extra charcoal pots too.

121

And eat a few more pounds of fish and shrimp.

122

[ laughter ]

123

Noble Lady Yi's pregnancy is surely carried out so carefully.

124

She won't get out of the room and she won't even get wind on her.

125

With Lady Mei as precedence and her being easily frightened, of course she is.

126

Go.

127

Eunuch.

128

What's happened?

129

Wang Qin is following royal command.

130

To investigate which palace person spread the rumor.

131

Buddha.

132

I beg you to open your eyes.

133

Who tried to harm me and my child.

134

All my prosperity and aspirations.

135

They all left with that pitiful child of mine.

136

Empress Dowager.

137

I couldn't come greet you from afar, I am without decorum.

138

If you were still in Yonghe Palace, it would be inconvenient to see you.

139

His Majesty's intention was right.

140

You're so sad with so much despair.

141

It's good for you to be here to listen to the sounds of Buddha.

142

Empress Dowager. All the people in the palace,

143

they are saying I gave birth to a monster.

144

How could I birth a child of such?

145

Someone's framing me.

146

That day I didn't get to see that child either.

147

Whether it is as the gossips say,

148

I haven't a way to verify it.

149

However, Lady Mei,

150

the child is already gone.

151

His Majesty doesn't want to mention it again.

152

So why do you torment yourself with the tears?

153

If you continue this stubborn behavior,

154

I fear you are not far from death.

155

- Empress Dowager.

- I've already heard that Noble Consort suggested to His Majesty

156

to allow you to commit suicide to go and accompany that child.

157

This time, His Majesty didn't listen nor did he agree to it.

158

But next time,

159

if the gossips winds are roaring harder,

160

and His Majesty hears of them, it's hard to know then.

161

You may not need to toil to find a way to hang yourself.

162

His Majesty might just give you the nod.

163

Empress Dowager, I didn't mean to kill myself on purpose.

164

It's just that His Majesty never came to see me.

165

And I had no choice but to use that measure.

166

The palace maids, I arranged them.

167

I don't want to die. Empress Dowager.

168

Get on up.

169

That day, I scooped you out from southern manor.

170

I discovered you are a mindful girl.

171

But if you die so easily like this,

172

that's putting to naught,

173

my nourishing of you.

174

Empress Dowager, I was stupid.

175

Please point me to the right path.

176

There are many solutions in the house of Buddha.

177

You are the only one who can lead yourself out from the maze.

178

I know that you are heartbroken about the loss of your baby

179

but you must remember. As long as you are alive,

180

you will have another opportunity

181

to be favored and give birth again.

182

But how you walk out of this Anhua Hall.

183

As to how you live up to my trust in you,

184

it will have to depend on yourself.

185

I will respectfully follow your teachings.

186

But I still don't understand.

187

Though you did not hold the fetus well,

188

you weren't so bad that you would give birth to the child they are rumoring about.

189

Mother, lately on the street.

190

they keep taking a servant away.

191

I have seen it several times.

192

Yonghuang, concentrate on your studies.

193

This doesn't concern you.

194

Alright.

195

Greetings, Concubine Ruyi and First Prince.

196

His Majesty would like you to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation immediately.

197

You can't bring anyone along with you.

198

Mother.

199

Wait for me to come back.

200

Wang Qin recounted something to His Majesty.

201

I don't know what's going on. I only know that Her Highness is here too.

202

Let's go now.

203

Your Majesty, Your Highness. Concubine Ruyi is here.

204

Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness.

205

Rise. Take a seat.

206

Yes.

207

- Wang Qin.

- Here.

208

Repeat what you just said to me and the Empress.

209

Yes.

210

Upon the orders of His Majesty, I investigated the rumor at the six palaces.

211

Everyone said that the origin of the rumor

212

was from Yanxi Palace.

213

Yanxi Palace?

214

Your Majesty is insightful. When we met at Yonghe Palace that night,

215

I didn't tell anyone about it.

216

Your Majesty, I brought the person who spread the rumor.

217

Your Majesty, please investigate this.

218

Bring the person in.

219

Yes.

220

Greetings, Your Majesty.

221

Greetings, Your Highness and Concubine Ruyi.

222

Let me ask you. Where did you hear about dirty rumors about Honorable Mei from?

223

I first heard this while passing Yanxi Palace.

224

First heard about this? When was it?

225

It was the night when Honorable Mei gave birth.

226

That is to say, when His Majesty, I and Concubine Ruyi left later,

227

- there was already a rumor in the palace?

- Yes.

228

Who did you heard this from in Yanxi Palace? What did that person say?

229

I'm not very familiar with Yanxi Palace.

230

It was very dark and I couldn't see who said that

231

but I'm very sure that I heard it from Yanxi Palace.

232

What you said, it's not clear and groundless.

233

Your Majesty, I definitely didn't talk to anyone.

234

This is very strange.

235

Everyone said that it was from Yanxi Palace

236

but Concubine Ruyi said that the leak wasn't from there.

237

You are attacking me. There is an evil intention.

238

Wang Qin.

239

Your Majesty, don't be angry. Your health is more important.

240

I also think that Concubine Ruyi didn't deliberately do it.

241

I also think that it wasn't Concubine Ruyi.

242

It was just a rumor. I must investigate this.

243

Since this will be investigated,

244

it won't be appropriate for Concubine Ruyi.

245

Why don't we bar her from stepping out from Yanxi Palace for the time being?

246

Once we have investigated this, we will return her innocence to her.

247

Investigate this. Concubine Ruyi must not be confined.

248

Your Majesty. Her Highness is saying that,

249

I was framed for the rumor and I should steer clear.

250

Concubine Ruyi.

251

Your Majesty, I will confine myself and stay away from this.

252

Moreover, I believe you will prove that I'm innocent.

253

Li Yu, escort Concubine Ruyi back first.

254

Yes.

255

I'm taking my leave.

Gate of Mental Cultivation

258

[ Honest ]

259

The winter is cold. It's also good that you can avoid the wind and frost if you stay in Yanxi Palace.

260

As for what's happening out there, you still have me.

261

Wang Qin has taken a lot of efforts regarding this rumor.

262

I won't be able to look after the newly married Lianxin.

263

There is something odd about this.

264

Go and check with Lianxin now.

265

See if you can hear anything from her.

266

I understand.

267

I will walk back.

268

Greetings, Noble Consort.

269

Consort Xian is --

270

His Majesty is inside. Please, this way, Noble Consort.

271

Sister.

272

Sister.

273

What's really happening?

274

Why is the palace gate getting shut?

275

Don't worry. It's me who personally wanted to be confined at Yanxi Palace.

276

These days, you will need to look after Yonghuang more so he's not worried.

277

But the days were just getting better.

278

Why this instability again?

279

Sometimes not going out,

280

isn't actually a bad thing.

281

Your Highness, Consort Xian really volunteered to be confined?

282

His Majesty believes her?

283

His Majesty is hard to predict, and definitely not easily trusting.

284

What happened that day, Qi Ru is the most senior.

285

Wang Qin is too eager to flatter His Majesty.

286

So those two wouldn't talk recklessly.

287

I fear His Majesty is suspicious of Consort Xian, thus me too.

288

But Consort Xian is raising the eldest prince.

289

For the eldest heir's sake,

290

His Majesty, would he be biased towards Consort Xian?

291

Of course.

292

Your Highness.

293

Consort Xian is lacking in merit. How about letting me raise the eldest prince?

294

To avoid him getting trained badly by Consort Xian.

295

You want to raise First Prince too?

296

I have always been loyal to Empress.

297

Even if I am raising the eldest son,

298

I wouldn't act like Consort Xian does, and steal favors over it.

299

His Majesty is anxious over the Consort Xian matter.

300

Don't go and plea this case.

301

I thought if Consort Xian is without First Prince,

302

then it's less attention on her and it's a good thing for you.

303

I understand you're in a rush.

304

But don't let rush cause your acts to be out of bounds.

305

Empress, you must be tired.

306

I and Noble Consort have an appointment to go see Noble Lady Yi at Jinyang Palace.

307

So we will take our leave first.

308

Yes, yes.

309

We agreed to go to Jinyang Palace to visit Noble Lady Yi to chat around.

310

I will dispatch Lianxin to send tonics to Jinyang Palace.

311

Now the highest priority in the palace is this fetus of Lady Yi.

312

If you're not busy, you all go and visit Lady Yi.

313

That's how you can help me and Emperor take on worries.

314

Yes.

315

You're the boss of me now?

316

I wasn't even done talking and you dragged me to leave.

317

Who said to go see Lady Yi with you?

318

Noble Consort, you've misunderstood. Why would I dare?

319

I just saw that Empress was looking annoyed,

320

so I purposely found an excuse to bring you out.

321

Empress is annoyed?

322

That's because Consort Xian's spreading rumor around.

323

Shaming the imperial family.

324

Yes, Consort Xian, carrying out such shameful deed to the clan,

325

is really quite unsightly.

326

But it's just that Empress and Emperor

327

are worried about the rumors and Consort Xian, for one.

328

While for two, they worry about the fetus of Lady Yi.

329

They can't mange to worry about other things now.

330

If Noble Consort brings up about raising First Prince now,

331

I think it's not timely.

332

How is it not timely?

333

I will go and bring First Prince out from Consort Xian's now.

334

It's to help lessen Emperor and Empress's worries.

335

From now on, don't meddle in my affair.

336

Your Majesty, this is red ginseng tea from my mother clan.

337

Drink this to dissipate your worries.

338

Your Majesty.

339

- Come in.

- Yes.

340

Greetings to Your Majesty. There's news from punishment bureau.

341

The servants all agree and point to Yanxi Palace.

342

I am fatigue. I want to rest.

343

Let's talk about this in a few days and you continue the research.

344

Yes.

345

Yanxi Gate

346

Mistress, let's return to our palace.

347

What's the rush?

348

Mistress, we come to Yanxi Palace daily.

349

Is it too noticeable?

350

I want to come and get some sun and air after eating.

351

Whose eyesore am I?

352

Yes.

353

I see Consort Xian locked up in worries, and I feel happy.

354

It's best she never comes out.

355

First Prince will become my child sooner or later.

356

First Prince should be coming back from school now, right?

357

Yes, should be soon.

358

First Prince is here.

359

Greetings to Lady Hui.

360

You're done with school, First Prince?

361

You must be tired from studying all day.

362

Your face is so frozen.

363

Warm up.

364

Thank you, Lady Hui. I am not cold.

365

I made the cake you love at Xianfu Palace.

366

Let's go. Let's go and try it with me.

367

Thank you, but I need to return to Yanxi Palace.

368

Consort Xian won't be coming out.

369

Why bother going there?

370

Later, I will take you to go see His Majesty.

371

You tell His Majesty from now on,

372

you will be with me, alright?

373

Lady Hui, don't rush.

374

If His Majesty has the will for it, he will tell me so.

375

There's no measure for me to go and ask about it.

376

Consort Xian spoke nonsense and shamed His Majesty.

377

What use is it for you to follow her?

378

You follow me and I will be good to you.

379

Thank you for your kindness.

380

As for whether my mother is with crime, my royal father will see to it.

381

Yonghuang dares not to be undevoted and deem my mother with crime.

382

You are such a unwitting kid.

383

It's my fault for angering you.

384

I take my leave.

385

Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com

386

Mother, I'm here to greet you.

387

Come here.

388

What's wrong? You seem down and upset.

389

After school today I met Lady Hui outside Yanxi Palace.

390

She told me you won't be going out anymore.

391

So she told me to follow her but I won't do that.

392

But I feel a bit scared.

393

Come.

394

Yonghuang need not be scared. Yonghuang just needs to

395

study well and not listen to what others say.

396

Yes.

397

Any new poetry you've learned recently? Recite to me.

398

Poverty and eminence are fated, why bother with the sigh.

399

But carry out good deeds,

400

and ask not of the future.

401

Winter leaves and ice must dissolve.

402

Spring comes and grass grows on their own.

403

May you spectate this logic.

404

Heaven is very clear.

405

Wait.

406

Sister Lianxin.

407

Where are you headed?

408

Empress sent me to deliver fetal tonic to Lady Yi.

409

I just came out of Jinyang Palace.

410

Where are you going?

411

I am investigating for His Majesty lately and I haven't had time to pay attention to you.

412

Today I'm not on at work.

413

Don't forget to wait for me.

414

It's broad daylight.

415

What do you want to do?

416

Plus, what investigation of rumors by you. You?

417

I am doing it for His Majesty.

418

Even if it's Consort Xian doing this, I can still knock her down.

419

You are just a servant by His Majesty's side.

420

His Majesty pities Consort Xian and how can you knock her down?

421

Don't bluff.

422

I will tell you. A servant --

423

can't just have one master.

424

Empress and Mistress Hui are both fond of me.

425

Go and busy yourself then.

426

Don't forget to wait up for me.

427

Lianxin.

428

Oh, you're back, Sir.

429

Wow, is the sun rising on the east today?

430

You worked hard today at work, so have some tea.

431

Why does this look like we're having new year's?

432

Even the wine is ready.

433

We need to keep living out the days anyway.

434

Since you're sincere with me,

435

and I'm not some iron heart.

436

My beauty, you've thought through.

437

Don't rush. Don't rush.

438

Look, here.

439

Look, if you rush, you compromise me.

440

I made so many dishes and wine for you and your medicine is here too.

441

Yes, this medicine. Take two today.

442

One is not enough.

443

Sir, you worked hard.

444

Have some wine and food.

445

No, I won't eat. Come to the room with me.

446

Sir, let's play a new trick today.

447

Sure. Something new, I like.

448

Let's play hiding kitten.

449

Hiding kitten? What's that?

450

You stay here and Lianxin will go hide.

451

If I don't yell, don't come out.

452

If you find me,

453

then Lianxin is at your complete mercy.

454

At my mercy? Great. That's a deal.

455

Sir, you have to listen to me.

456

If I don't make a sound, you don't come out.

457

Alright.

458

Where did you go?

459

You've really gone hiding? Where?

460

Sir, someone came outside earlier.

461

Empress asks me to come to the palace to run errand and I will be right back.

462

No, no.

463

If you can't spare, then come with me.

464

Don't. I can't stand it.

465

Lianxin, wait for me. Don't go.

466

Hailan,

467

look at this. How is it?

468

Sister, your flowers already blossomed.

469

Spring is already here.

470

You're going to be confined until when?

471

Don't rush. When it's time for me to go out,

472

I will naturally go out.

473

Why do you look like the noble consort.

474

I am the noble consort. You do everything as I say.

475

I will listen to you.

476

I will do as you say about Consort Xian.

477

Then I will be good to you.

478

Good to me?

479

Eunuch Wang.

480

Wang Qin!

481

Wang Qin!

482

What's that noise?

483

Mistress, I think that's Noble Consort's voice outside.

484

Noble Consort?

485

Let's go out and take a look.

486

Sanbao, take him out.

487

Concubine Ruyi, you can't step out from the gate of Yanxi Palace.

488

I will stand here and watch. I won't step out.

489

Mistress.

490

Don't move. Kneel down.

491

Are you seeking death?

492

Let's go.

493

This dog slave, Wang Qin!

494

He's really too bold.

495

He even dares to offend me.

496

Please cool down.

497

He pulled me when he's here.

498

- Is he drunk?

- Yes.

499

Drag him to face His Majesty later and see what he has to say.

500

Greetings, Noble Consort.

501

It's you. Why did you come out?

502

I didn't had the intention to eavesdrop. I didn't know you are here.

503

Noble Consort, are you okay?

504

Whether I'm fine or not,

505

I don't need your concern.

506

The incident occurred in front of Yanxi Palace.

507

I came out to take a look.

508

Otherwise, if it doesn't matter, why would I be bothered?

509

Fine.

510

You are mocking me.

511

I was even thinking.

512

Why did Wang Qin suddenly showed up in front of Yanxi Palace and offended me?

513

Did someone directed him to do this?

514

Mistress, Mistress. I have called His Majesty to come.

515

His Majesty is here.

516

Put down the sedan.

517

Your Majesty.

518

Your Majesty.

519

Ever since I have been serving you, I have never suffered such a great humiliation.

520

If You Majesty don't make any decisions for me,

521

I don't want to live anymore.

522

Li Yu, help her to get up.

523

Yes.

524

Stop it. There are many people here. Why are you crying so miserably?

525

Men, bring Wang Qin here.

526

Let me go.

527

Your Majesty.

528

Come here and talk.

529

Did Wang Qin shock you?

530

I'm fine. Thank you for your concern.

531

Your Majesty, this happened too suddenly.

532

I think Wang Qin is still talking nonsense now.

533

T avoid publicizing this, Your Majesty and the Noble Consort,

534

please come into Yanxi Palace and slowly interrogate him.

535

Alright. I will use your Yanxi palace.

536

- Sanbao.

- Here.

537

Use cold water to make Wang Qin come to his senses.

538

Bring him to see me after that and get the Imperial Physician here later

539

to check if he has any illness. The rest of you can leave.

540

Yes.

541

Go and prepare tea.

542

Yes.

543

Take a seat.

544

Noble Consort. When you saw me, you said that you have been greatly humiliated. Speak.

545

- I'm looking for my Lianxin.

- Old Fogey, you are becoming more clueless.

546

Your Majesty. When I passed Yanxi Palace,

547

I thought of Concubine Ruyi who was being confined.

548

I couldn't help myself and wanted to take a look.

549

When I just arrived at Yanxi Palace,

550

who knew that Eunuch Wang would come out from Zhaohua Gate.

551

He pounced on me without any reason and talked badly.

552

Your Majesty, Wang Qin is crazy.

553

When he saw me, he started tearing my clothes.

554

Your Majesty, take a look.

555

Look at my sleeves. He has already torn it.

556

Isn't Wang Qin on duty today?

557

Why did he come to Zhaohua Gate?

558

To answer, Concubine Ruyi, Eunuch Wang is not on duty tonight.

559

Hence, he went back early to rest.

560

- Damn.

- Bring him in.

- I will destroy your families.

561

Your Majesty, Noble Consort, Mistress. I brought Wang Qin here.

562

- Your Majesty.

- Release me now.

563

Your Majesty. Wang Qin has always treated the Noble Consort courteously.

564

- Could there be a misunderstanding?

- Release me.

565

Look at his condition.

566

It seems like he's having a hangover.

567

Your Majesty, I just smell his body.

568

It doesn't seem like the scent of wine.

569

But there is a kind of different sweet scent.

570

Your Majesty, why are you here?

571

What's wrong with you, Wang Qin?

572

Sanbao, take him out.

573

Hurry up.

574

Your Majesty.

575

Your Majesty, based on his condition now,

576

I'm afraid we won't be able to get anything out from him.

577

He wasn't on duty today and has been in his home.

578

I also remember that Lianxin was not on duty today too.

579

Why don't we ask Lianxin to come here and question her

580

and clarify Wang Qin's situation?

581

Get Lianxin here.

582

Yes.

583

Noble Consort, don't be angry. Wang Qin and Lianxin's house is nearby.

584

Lianxin will be here soon.

585

Serve the tea.

586

Your Majesty, please have your tea.

587

Your Majesty, I just saw Lianxin. We are getting Eunuch Wang now

588

before we bring Lianxin here.

589

Also, the Imperial Physician Qi is here and checking Eunuch Wang's pulse.

590

We will bring them here immediately.

591

Your Majesty, Noble Consort, Concubine Ruyi.

592

Did Wang Qin go crazy and offended anyone?

593

By asking this, did you already know that Wang Qin has gone crazy?

594

Dispense with the formality first.

595

Tell me, what's wrong with Wang Qin?

596

Your Majesty, I have already checked Eunuch Wang's pulse.

597

He is not drunk.

598

He overdosed on Amusu pills.

599

What is that?

600

It's a secret drug in the market

601

which has always been banned in the palace.

602

I wonder where Eunuch Wang got it from?

603

How dare him.

604

Wang Qin took this drug. You must be in cahoots with him.

605

I was kind to let the both of you get married

606

and you are still so shameless.

607

Your Majesty. I can guarantee that before we went to find Lianxin,

608

I have already sent men to search Eunuch Wang's house.

609

Imperial Physician Qi and him are waiting outside.

610

- Go now.

- Yes.

611

Lianxin, there are no outsiders here now.

612

If you have anything to say, just speak up.

613

Your Majesty, Her Highness is very kind.

614

She hopes that I would have someone to depend on for life.

615

That's why she married me to Eunuch Wang.

616

Who knew that Wang Qin is a beast.

617

He takes that kind of drugs every day

618

and he cursed, hit and humiliated me.

619

Wang Qin was like that.

620

Why didn't you look for Her Highness to handle this for you?

621

Would I still have the face to tell outsiders about this?

622

I didn't dare to soil her ears.

623

Moreover, Wang Qin said that,

624

if I dare to spill a single word out,

625

he wouldn't let me live.
