Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Episode 19

21

Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness.

22

Your Majesty, the placement of A'Rou --

23

It is indeed a worry to me.

24

Hence, I came to seek your thought on it.

25

You're injured?

26

I thank Your Majesty for your care.

27

Punishment Bureau tortured me for interrogation and I did endure some pain.

28

I heard you never went back on your testimony.

29

Your Majesty, Noble Lady Xian is conniving and harmed people.

30

I can't just let torture

31

change my words easily to say Noble Lady Xian is innocent.

32

Earlier, I couldn't manage to worry about you.

33

Hence, I want to ask you.

34

You've offended Noble Lady Xian and have no place to go now, so do you plan to leave the palace?

35

In death or alive, I am still a servant of Forbidden City.

36

I am willing to serve Your Majesty in life and death.

37

On this matter, you had no choice.

38

On the account of reporting crime against royal heirs,

39

I will keep you by my side for service.

40

A'Rou, since His Majesty

41

is keeping you by his side as his chamber maid --

42

You must be extra careful in the future and don't make any mistakes again.

43

I thank Your Highness for the teaching.

44

As long as you learn from your mistake.

45

And this matter, it's really Noble Lady Xian who is the mastermind.

46

A'Rou was only at fault

47

from not being able to stand up sooner.

48

Your Majesty wants to keep her by your side to let her make amend of her fault with merits.

49

I think this should be done too.

50

I thank Your Majesty and Your Highness for the cherishing.

51

Noble Lady Mei.

52

Open the door.

53

Yanxi Palace is forbidden. You better not enter.

54

It's Noble Lady's feet who are confined here.

55

Not mine. Why can't I enter?

56

That -- Yes.

57

Stay guard here. Without my instruction, no one is allowed to enter.

58

Yes.

59

I have already checked.

60

Noble Lady Hai isn't here at this hour. She's out picking up First Prince from studies.

61

You poisonous woman! You killed my child!

62

Why else would His Majesty confine you here?

63

I will beat you to lash out my anger.

64

What's going on?

65

Go out. Don't meddle.

66

You can't. We are guarding Yanxi Palace to keep any incidents from happening.

67

If you keep up with this, we will go report to His Majesty.

68

- What's happening?

- You can't go in.

69

Let me go.

70

Let me go.

71

Noble Lady Mei, what are you doing?

72

- You can't.

- Let go of me!

73

- Noble Lady Mei.

- Release me.

74

I didn't do it.

75

I really didn't do it.

76

Was it tiring at the study hall?

77

Yes.

78

First Prince, now we have less people caring after Yanxi Palace,

79

I will take you in and out from now on.

80

Thank you, Lady Hai.

81

I want to visit my mother. Okay?

82

Of course. Let's go.

83

Are you hungry, First Prince?

84

I will have the minor kitchen quietly make some noodles for you soon.

85

Mother.

86

Mistress.

87

Mother, what's wrong?

88

Older sister, what happened?

89

It was Noble Lady Mei.

90

I was out brewing medicine for Mistress at the time.

91

I never imagined Noble Lady Mei would burst in here.

92

She hit Mistress with a whip and injured her all over.

93

It's my fault. I failed to protect Mistress.

94

I can't fault you on this, Shouxin.

95

I'm going to tell the Emperor.

96

Yonghuang, you must not go.

97

Don't meddle in this. Listen to me.

98

First Prince, listen to your mother. Don't get involved.

99

- Sanbao.

- I'm here.

100

Leave with First Prince.

101

Yes.

102

Come.

103

Older sister, I'm going to get the Imperial Physician.

104

Hailan, don't go.

105

Royal Physician will not come to Yanxi Palace.

106

I thought about it over and over and still can't get it.

107

Why would His Majesty invite Yuhu all of a sudden?

108

Does he lack better service from those around him?

109

Perhaps, His Majesty wants to continue to investigate Concubine Ruyi's case

110

and prove her innocence.

111

With just an old servant? Can't be.

112

Your HIghness, I heard Noble Lady Mei ran into Yanxi Palace.

113

And whipped Noble Lady Xian.

114

If it weren't for the guarding eunuch stopipng her,

115

who knows what predicament Noble Lady Xian would be in.

116

Noble Lady Mei can't be blamed for this.

117

To lose a child is such a tragedy.

118

You are in Changchun Palace.

119

No one came to report to you so you don't know this news.

120

How can Empress do anything about something that never happened?

121

It's those guards who were meddlesome.

122

With them protecting Noble Lady Xian.

123

A servant who meddles should be switched out.

124

Noble Lady Xian is confined anyway. What can she do?

125

However, will someone go and report to His Majesty?

126

A'Rou is there. Who will go and ruin His Majesty's mood?

127

His Majesty took in A'Rou?

128

The palace always needs to add on more new people. If it's not A'Rou it will be someone else.

129

That sure suits A'Rou's wish.

130

If she never had the intention or the hatred for Noble Lady Xian.

131

How would she have came out and testified?

132

Noble Lady Yi's child was supposed to be raised by me.

133

To accompany Yonglian and grow up together.

134

Who would've thought Noble Lady Xian ruined it.

135

You are fair and you keep the palace in harmony and the royal heirs stable.

136

So what though? It still results in this.

137

With that poisonous woman still remaining in the palace.

138

Empress, I heard Lady Yi is already back at Jinyang Palace.

139

Will you go visit her?

140

I do intend to but I fear seeing her,

141

would be hard for both.

142

It's true. You are kind and sweet, and seeing each other will only hurt more sentiments.

143

Perhaps I could go on your behalf to visit Lady Yi.

144

That will be good. Go and console her well.

145

Your Highness. Second Prince...

146

Second Prince is having croup symptoms again. Hurry and see.

147

What?

148

This Second Prince is really too weak.

149

I fear he won't live long.

150

You're finally awake.

151

You've been in and out of unconsciousness and it really scared us.

152

Noble Lady Jia, tell me.

153

My child. Was it really Consort Xian that killed it?

154

I still can't fathom.

155

She's already not a consort anymore.

156

His Majesty demoted her to Noble Lady and confined her in Yanxi Palace.

157

Whether your child was killed by her or not. Well you didn't see.

158

But at Changchun Palace, Xiao Luzi killed himself right there and there by bumping his head into metal pillar.

159

A'Rou almost ran her head into the metal pillar.

160

Saying she will use her death to repay the kindness by Ula-Nara.

161

Thankfully Noble Consort stopped her.

162

Your child, whether she killed it, I don't know.

163

But tell me, would someone use their own life to sweeten other's?

164

It's really her?

165

It was Ula-Nara that killed my child.

166

When I trusted her so much.

167

She was so fake and cunning with me.

168

I trusted her too much.

169

She must put on an convincing act so she can carry out her plan on you.

170

You were just too easily fooled.

171

It's my fault.

172

The incident is passed.

173

Don't think too much. Your health is priority.

174

Mistress, it's time for you medicine.

175

This is safflower and amaranth soup?

176

Yes.

177

This medicine is very strong.

178

I heard you drank a lot of this when you miscarried.

179

This irritates the body.

180

But I drank so much of this safflower and amaranth soup.

181

Yet none of the pregnancy residuals in my body are gone.

182

I imagine your child is still holding onto you and won't leave.

183

Wanting to leave something behind in your womb.

184

Your predicament. I fear you will never be pregnant again.

185

Mistress. Mistress.

186

Mistress.

187

You're pregnant?

188

I just feel stuffy in the chest lately and I feel nauseous.

189

I don't know if it's pregnancy.

190

You are pregnant.

191

I was like that too.

192

You have a child.

193

Even if I am, I don't dare to announce it.

194

I fear I will end up like you and Lady Mei.

195

Harmed by fake schemers.

196

Noble Lady Mei was so furious she went to Yanxi Palace to beat Noble Lady Xian.

197

But what use is that? The child is gone and it's gone.

198

It's me who failed to protect my own child.

199

It's my fault.

200

I will never have a child again.

201

Stop crying. Crying is useless.

202

In the palace, a woman who can't have children is like a piece of rag.

203

They can just toss it out at whim.

204

Don't worry. Once I have a kid, I will have the kid be good to you.

205

Don't cry anymore.

206

Mistress, you are tired. How about we return to palace now?

207

That's fine.

208

You rest up and I will come visit to chat with you again.

209

Mistress, you didn't want others know you're pregnant.

210

Why did you let Lady Yi find out?

211

She's about to die so she should get some good news.

212

So she can leave in some bliss.

213

I am only saying the truth.

214

She has to drink amaranth and safflower soup since she has residuals in her.

215

But drinking that might not preserve her life. Even Physician Xu can't vouch for it.

216

Lady Yi's pain of losing a child.

217

if she finds out the truth,

218

she won't sit still.

219

Mistress. Mistress.

220

Mistress, you're very nauseous. We should hurry back.

221

So pitiful.

222

His Majesty should know about this good news.

223

His Majesty lost two kids in a row.

224

He will be so happy to find out you're pregnant.

225

So it's useless they got pregnant before me.

226

His Majesty's first child upon succession,

227

shall be my son.

228

It's really the truth?

229

I don't dare to speak recklessly.

230

I am indeed pregnant for a few months.

231

It's just with so many things happening in the palace, I didn't dare to speak up.

232

You're so cautious. Come and chat with me.

233

Your Majesty, I fear my fetus will be affected.

234

So please allow me to live in the Zhengxiang Hall behind your Yangxin Hall.

235

So I can have your good spirit get rid of the evil spirts to guard our baby.

236

That's easily done. All things are with the child as priority.

237

Come. Noble Lady Jia.

238

This child is coming just in perfect time.

239

I am so consoled by it.

240

Your Majesty, my pregnancy should be notified to Empress first.

241

But I heard Second Prince had another episode of croup when I went.

242

So she left in the rush to care after him.

243

So I didn't dare to interrupt and came here to tell you instead.

244

Yonglian was getting better. It's acting up again?

245

I heard Second Prince was still studying day and night in illness.

246

Maybe he's too tired.

247

That child, if no one forces him,

248

he wouldn't be so hardworking. Was it the empress --

249

Empress only has his best interest in mind.

250

She doesn't want his studies fall behind.

251

Your Majesty, my pregnancy, for me to tell you first,

252

I fear Empress will find blame in me.

253

Don't worry. She's not someone like that.

254

Let's do this. I will say you were ill in Yangxin Palace.

255

After taking pulse, we realized you were pregnant.

256

Thank you for being so thorough with me.

257

But Your Majesty, you have to spend time with me too.

258

So I can be assured.

259

Of course.

260

Mistress, look how well you've taken care of yourself.

261

Your hair is like silk.

262

Where is His Majesty tonight?

263

His Majesty went to see Second Prince.

264

Mistress. Noble Lady Jia is pregnant.

265

Noble Lady Jia?

266

Yes.

267

All these years she wasn't pregnant but why now of all times?

268

I am well favored too.

269

Why is it that all around me gets pregnant.

270

But just not me?

271

No. I can't let her birth the first prince upon His Majesty's reign.

272

Go. Get Xiao Anzi for me.

273

Mistress, calm down.

274

The palace has already lost two heirs. Emperor and Empress are on high guard.

275

We can't do anything to her.

276

Then you want me to watch her birth a kid?

277

Mistress. Even if we are so capable, we can't do anything by His Majesty's side.

278

Plus Noble Lady Jia never courted your hatred.

279

If she gives birth to a prince even, she won't give the child to Empress raise and she won't threaten your position.

280

Most importantly, Lady Jia and Lady Xian are not linked at all.

281

We can't put this on Lady Xian.

282

Yes.

283

Moxin.

284

Why am I like this?

285

I just want to harm them when I hear they are pregnant.

286

I wasn't like this before.

287

Mistress, it's all my fault. Blame me instead.

288

It's not.

289

How did I become like this?

290

I don't want to be like this, Moxin.

291

Delusional! This, even if it was done by Lady Xian,

292

His Majesty hasn't made a move and you go first?

293

Lady Mei, you were foolish.

294

Since there's proof and witness,

295

His Majesty isn't even doing anything to Lady Xian.

296

You burst in there and hits at whim.

297

You are this petty?

298

Pain of losing a child consumed me.

299

That's why I was rash.

300

You're so reckless.

301

No wonder others schemed on you and you were unwitting.

302

Forget it. You go back and think about it.

303

Yes.

304

I leave now.

305

What's wrong with her?

306

Empress Dowager, I've asked the royal physician.

307

Lady Mei has been bleeding after losing the baby.

308

In the future if Lady Mei wants to serve His Majesty again.

309

I don't think it will be as convenient as before.

310

Her health is one thing but her thoughts are so short.

311

Fujia, you need to go and befriend my old subjects.

312

Pick out some smarter girls on standby.

313

Yes.

314

Luckily, Wensheng turned up

315

Otherwise Noble Lady Mei wouldn't let me slide like that.

316

Xianxi Palace is such a unsafe place right now

317

When I was entering just now

318

I saw the two eunuchs at the door being transferred away

319

Jiejie*, rest a little. When the porridge is ready, I will feed it to you.

(*older sister)

320

Okay

321

Noble Lady Yi, your body is still unwell, no?

322

Why did you come here?

323

I am here to check on jiejie* how she got hurt.

(*older sister)

324

Noble Lady has hurt her in a moment of confusion

325

Noble Lady Yi, don't get confused

326

Wounded this gravely

327

She must have been truly ruthless

328

Although this ruthless

329

Why did she manage to kill you to revenge my child!

330

Jiejie*, watch out!

(*older sister)

331

I will kill you!

332

What's that noise? Did something happen?

333

Noble Lady Yi! Noble Lady Yi!

334

What are you doing, Noble Lady Yi?

335

Noble Lady Yi, you mustn't do this!

336

- Noble Lady Yi

- Let go of my child!

337

I will kill you!

338

- I will kill you!

- Hit me instead! Hit me instead!

339

Noble Lady Yi, hit me instead

340

Be careful, hurry up.

341

Noble Lady Yi, what's gotten into you...

342

Your Majesty has stayed with the Second Prince all night

343

Please return and rest a bit, the morning court will begin soon.

344

He's been ill all this time and was still reciting his lessons while he was not quite lucid. My heart is aching.

345

The Second Prince will surely recover

346

Your Majesty, Noble Lady Hai

347

Why are you here?

348

Your Majesty, Noble Lady Yi trespassed Yanxi Palace at night and attempted to kill jiejie* (*older sister)

349

I can't imagine the outcome if I didn't stop her

350

She is still unwell, how did she manage to trespass successfully?

351

First, Noble Lady Mei hit jiejie*

(*older sister)

352

The eunuchs at the door managed to hold her off

353

Then those eunuchs were transferred away without a reason

354

Thus, Noble Lady Yi managed to enter directly

355

I see

356

Li Yu, have Yanxi Palace guarded more securely

357

Before I made a decision, incidents like this mustn't occure

358

Yes

359

Your Majesty, waht about Noble Ladies Yi and Mei?

360

They are torn apart because of their children

361

Don't blame them too much

362

Thank you, your Majesty

363

Chu'er, you slept like a baby last night

after you drank the medicine .

364

It's time for today's medicine

365

Chu'er?

366

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

367

Your Majesty

368

How is your wound?

369

Did you apply the balm that I granted you?

370

Thank you, your Majesty

371

I have been applying

372

No wonder the ancients say

let the unmarried girls grind the ink

373

Red sleeve adds the fragrance*, interesting indeed

(*To have young beautiful girls accompanying while reading, the experience will become more enjoyable)

374

Only you are able to exercise force properly

375

Grind me some ink with luster, without the dullness

376

Your Majesty praise me too much,

It's because I've been grinding for Consort Xian...

377

No... grinding for Noble Lady Xian for a longtime

378

Practice makes perfect

379

Apologies for my improper words

380

Really? I like hearing you talk

381

I like your perfected practice even more

382

I am not smart

383

I'm scared that the improper words will make you angry

384

How can it be?

385

I like listening to every word you say

386

Don't your Majesty think that

387

I'm a person who turns on her master and abandons the trust

388

If you don't abandon your conscience

389

No one will think that you turned on your master

and abandoned the trust

390

Your Majesty

391

What is it?

392

Jingyang Palace reported

393

Noble Lady Yi didn't recuperate well after giving birth,

she passed away

394

It's a pity, pity...

395

Notify the Empress

396

Confer the title of Imperial concubine to the late Noble lady Yi

397

Make the funeral arrangements according to the rank of an Imperial concubine

398

Yes

399

Poor Imperial concubine Yi

400

She lost her child and died at such a young age

401

Luckily, Noble lady Jia is with child.

She's doing well at Zhenxiang Hall.

402

There's hope for your Majesty's decendant

403

You are always thinking about the others,

what about yourself?

404

Your Majesty is poking fun with me

405

What's there to think about me

406

Stop saying you aren't thinking of others

407

Even what I like to eat

408

You've remembered

409

Your Majesty

410

I'd like to confer you to First Class Attendant, entitled Shen

411

Noble Lady Jia is to be conferred to Imperial concubine.

From now on,

412

you are to reside in Imperial concubine Jia's Qixiang Palace.

413

To have your Majesty's care,

my life isn't wasted then.

414

Your Majesty

415

Imperial concubine Yi just died like that

416

Have the arrangements been made with her family?

417

Her belongings and money have been already sent over there.

418

Please don't worry.

419

In any case, they had a master and servant relationship.

420

She served his Majesty and was pregnant with his child.

421

It's only proper to look after everything now that she is gone.

422

I think, to have Empress caring

423

Imperial concubine Yi would be thankful if she knew.

424

Empress, never mind the pregnant Noble lady Jia was conferred to Imperial concubine

425

But who is this A'Ruo? Who is she, to be conferred to a First Class Attendant

426

It's all thanks to her father.

427

This Guiduo works under your father.

428

And A'Ruo is being very clever around here.

429

She's been fluttering her wings in front of his Majesty.

430

She can flutter all she want,

she is only a First Class Attendant.

431

I don't believe she can flutter all the way towards heaven.

432

I will clip her wings!

433

Meimei*, you don't have to be worried needlessly.

(*younger sister)

434

As long as Guiduo works under your father.

435

You are afraid that you can't manage A'Ruo?

436

Furthermore, the servants around her

437

Can all be the ones of your choosing.

438

How thoughtful of you

439

Mistress.

440

I, First Class Attendant named Socolun

441

send my greetings to Concubine Jia.

442

It's not easy, in the blink of an eye, to become an honorable lady.

443

It's because I received your blessing.

444

When I was punished, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today.

445

I will be staying with you at Qixiang Palace. Please show me more guidance.

446

Sit.

447

You helped the Empress and the Noble Consort to get rid of Concubine Ruyi, the most hated person.

448

You are capable.

449

Our fates are entwined deeply,

although I reside the main position of this Qixiang Palace

450

But after all, you are still serving His Majesty.

451

We will be sisters in the future. Of course, I will take care of you.

452

I'm not that capable.

453

Who told Ula-Nara to do such evil deeds?

454

That's how I could help the Empress to get to the bottom of the matters and rectify the situation.

455

But First Class Attendant Shen, you must also keep a lookout.

456

After all, Concubine Ruyi was your Mistress. What if you lose favors one day

457

and go back to her? His Majesty may agree.

458

Ula-Nara will never be reinstated for harming the son of the Emperor.

459

Is that so?

460

When one closes one's eyes, no one knows who would climb in.

461

His Majesty is still thinking of his old feelings.

462

You had ambition.

463

It was easy to obtain glory and splendor. Don't lose them that easily.

464

Naturally.

465

Hall of Mental Cultivation

466

Mistress, what's wrong with you?

467

Did Concubine Jia say something to make you unhappy?

468

What she said, it made sense too.

469

Look for an experienced junior eunuch.

470

Use the name of the kitchen to deliver some pastries to Concubine Ruyi.

471

Yes.

472

In the palace, there was someone who gained favor and is happy.

473

There was also someone who lost favor and is sad.

474

Looking at how Noble Lady Mei lost her baby,

475

Noble lady Yi and her child both died.

Noble lady Xian has been demoted and confined.

476

As for here, First Class Attendant Shen was favored.

477

Concubine Jia from Qixiang Palace is also pregnant.

478

Upholding the balance in everything

479

Empress, you should think about this carefully.

480

I will propose to His Majesty

481

to promote Noble Lady Mei as a form of consolation.

482

Fine.

483

But as for Concubine Ruyi, His Majesty has been holding on to the punishment.

484

She should be stripped of her title

485

to become a commoner.

486

And be sent to live in the cold palace as a warning.

487

Empress Dowager is wise.

488

It's just that I'm worried if His Majesty is momentarily soft-hearted,

489

he will miss his old love.

490

His Majesty will naturally miss his old love

491

but the son of the Emperor should not die in vain.

492

I will reason this with His Majesty.

493

You only need to pacify the concubines at the six palaces.

494

I will listen to your advice.

495

I'm taking my leave.

496

- Fujia. Did you personally check the plate of pastries last night?

- Yes.

497

What an idiot. She could even do this.

498

Your Majesty. You keep dragging Ula-Nara's case and refuse to decide.

499

How long are you going to keep dragging this?

500

Empress Dowager, I'm still investigating.

501

There are insufficient evidence and people to testify.

502

I think the reason for harming someone is already sufficient.

503

Ula-Nara plotted against the Empress. She shouldn't be forgiven for her sins.

504

She should be stripped immediately of her title

505

to be a commoner and confined to the cold palace.

506

Empress Dowager, wouldn't this punishment be too hasty?

507

Do you still need to continue to investigate?

508

If you investigate, there will only be two conclusions. The first,

509

it's that everything was done by Ula-Nara.

510

She is the chief culprit.

511

She should be executed, along with the extended family

and the entire clan isn't exaggerated either.

512

What's the second conclusion?

513

Someone killed both royal descendants.

514

Someone did the framing and shifted the blame. Someone took a lot of efforts to plan this.

515

Someone made use of the favourable situation to push matters through with little effort.

516

They united to have the Ula-Nara

be the scapegoat, to her death.

517

Empress Dowager, are you saying that,

518

I should suspect everyone around me?

519

Impossible. I don't believe it.

520

Is it impossible or are you...

521

unable to accept it?

522

Don't say that this case has unambiguous evidence.

523

Ula-Nara isn't being wronged here.

524

There is really an injustice.

525

You can only do this.

526

I have already said a lot and you are still not convinced.

527

Fine. I will show you something.

528

Fujia, bring that item here.

529

I'm here.

530

Your Majesty, I have a plate of poisoned pastries.

531

I investigated this. Noble Lady Shen instructed someone to deliver this to Concubine Ruyi at Yanxi Palace.

532

She wants to kill her immediately.

533

It's hard to say.

534

She's afraid that Ula-Nara will counter attack.

535

It's the only way to protect herself.

536

No matter what, these pastries were already delivered to Yanxi Palace.

537

This means that many people want her dead.

538

Even if you keep her in the palace,

539

how long will you be able to protect her life?

540

With so much irrefutable evidence, Ruyi won't be able to make a comeback.

541

Let her go to the cold palace.

542

The deeper you investigate, the more they will take actions.

543

Sometimes, you need to be

544

You have to be expedient to anticipate the future.

545

I...

546

I know that I can't stay alive,

I will die alongside Xiao Luzi here and today!

547

Your Majesty. Someone's using her life to report that Concubine Ruyi caused the death of the child of the Emperor.

548

Moreover, this involves your son.

549

Do you really not care about this?

550

There are evidence and people to testify. Concubine Ruyi didn't refute this too.

551

I'm unable to provide a convincing explanation.

552

I can only ask His Majesty to investigate.

553

I didn't do any of this.

554

Older sister would never do this.

555

She is not this kind of person. She doesn't has such ambition.

556

Lay back a little

557

Whether Ruyi doesn't need to be forced to kill herself,

558

her family and clan haven't been raided or executed,

559

and she can keep her life. This is a very lucky thing.

560

What you want to do, it's not what you want.

561

What you need to do, it's not necessarily what you want to do.

562

Every decision will have its outcome.

563

It will also have its price.
