Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Episode 24

21

Anyone there?

22

Anyone there? Come.

23

Snakes.

24

Save us. Ling Yunche.

25

Guard Ling, save us.

26

Come. Someone come.

27

There.

28

Guard Ling, over there.

29

Done.

30

Guard Ling, my mistress got bit by the snake earlier. Come look.

31

Let me see.

32

This snake is poisonous. I need to suck out the venom.

33

Suoxin, get some water.

34

Hurry.

35

Rinse your mouth.

36

Are you better?

37

I'm sorry. I offended the law of man and woman.

38

But then again your life is more important, right?

39

Thank you for saving me.

40

You're fine since it wasn't bitten too deep.

41

If it was deep, even the fairy couldn't save you.

42

Suoxin, do you have any ointment that detoxifies?

43

Detox ointment?

44

I have niuhuang pellet. Physician Jiang left them for us.

45

Niuhuang pellet loosens poison. Get one.

46

Hurry.

47

Mistress.

48

The leaves of trump vines outside are anti-venom too.

49

Get some and mash them and apply to bite.

50

Alright.

51

Get a lot.

52

Tomorrow I will tell Physician Jiang to come take a look.

53

But don't worry. I think it won't be too bad.

54

Thank you.

55

No problem.

56

We're lucky it's you who is on night guard tonight.

57

Or else Mistress and I couldn't have lived.

58

Cold Palace is damp and we have lots of spiders and snakes of all sorts.

59

I drink some realgar wine usually for self-preservation too.

60

But it's strange.

61

Though these snakes are usually seen.

62

To have so many at once?

63

It might hurt a bit.

64

Mistress, I saw that the realgar wine.

65

It really does seem effective.

66

Guard Ling put it on them and the snakes all ran away.

67

Did you heard anything this evening?

68

Evening?

69

We were drying clothes outside.

70

We didn't hear anything.

71

It's this. I went outside to look at the roof.

72

The tiles on your roof were removed by someone.

73

So the snakes, I think someone threw them in on purpose.

74

Snakes are cold blooded. They will go to your body once you blow out the candle.

75

You two, did you offend someone?

76

Well.

77

That's enough. It's getting late so rest up.

78

By the way, that realgar wine, I'll leave for you guys.

79

Tomorrow, I'll bring some realgar and lime powder.

80

Spread it out for preservation.

81

Then tonight?

82

I already put out realgar wine so don't worry, it'll be alright.

83

Thank you.

84

Thank you, Guard Ling.

85

Stay.

86

Snakes again.

87

Last time at Cosort Yi's palace, it was also snakes.

88

I think they still won't let us off even after we're in here.

89

Shuangxi. Shuangxi!

90

Coming.

91

Mistress.

92

Ula-Nara isn't dead. Even the girl by her side is fine.

93

But those snakes --

94

So useless. You can't even do such a simple chore.

95

Noble Consort, your servant doesn't fare.

96

If you fare, you go. Stop talking so breezy here.

97

Mistress, it's my fault. I'm no good.

98

I do know how to work snakes but it's my first time working poisonous snakes.

99

I am a bit of a novice.

100

Yes.

101

I don't believe that Ula-Nara has such a great fate.

102

It's lucky that you were rescued in time that you're relatively fine.

103

I've left detoxifying herbs.

104

Later, have Suoxin boil it for you to take.

105

Alright. Have a look at Guard Ling in a bit too.

106

Of course. He's your life savior.

107

What's wrong?

108

Mistress Yi, please hold on.

109

Mistress Yi, have you been taking your medicines on time this month?

110

Of course I have.

111

Then, how do you find the effectiveness of the medicine?

112

It seems not much improvement.

113

What about Suoxin?

114

Suoxin still suffers from hand and feet sour bitterness at times.

115

When she comes back, ask her in detail.

116

Alright.

117

How can this be?

118

What is it?

119

Mistress Yi.

120

These days, I've looked at other people in Cold Palace lately too and some have rheumatism too.

121

But they are all elderly who've lived here for a long time and they are prone to rheumatism.

122

But you and Suoxin are both young and you're getting treatment.

123

This illness is showing no signs of improvement.

124

Please hold on, Mistress Yi.

125

Thank you.

126

Suoxin. How's your rheumatism?

127

I think it's about the same as before.

128

What's wrong?

129

Mistress's snake poison has something wrong?

130

The poison is fine.

131

Suoxin. You always eat this?

132

This is the stuff we bribed with silvers actually.

133

On holidays we sometimes get snails or duck blood or meat too.

134

Vegetables, pretty much these same ones over and over.

135

No wonder. These foods are all very damp and chillying.

136

Though they don't clash or have poison,

137

but both Mistress Yi and Suoxin are cold-bodies who shouldn't touch these.

138

If you're eating this three times a day, how can your rheumatism improve?

139

Someone's giving us these food on purpose?

140

Do the other ones who spend silvers on food eat the same as you?

141

Now that you say that, it does seem indeed different.

142

I thought the poisonous snakes last night would kill us.

143

I didn't imagine someone's making their move on us through this.

144

I can't believe we spent silvers only to get back poison.

145

Mistress, what do we do in the future?

146

We can only eat this stuff.

147

Since there's someone who is attentive here, let's calm her. Let her eat and sleep accordingly.

148

Don't we have Jiang Yubin here?

149

You are right. It was risky last night.

150

We shouldn't act rashly now.

151

I will find some hot tonics

152

to think of a way to expend the cold and dampness.

153

Thank you very much.

154

Let me ask you. Who was the savior for what happened last night?

155

It was the guard from the cold palace, Ling Yunche.

156

Watch how you sway your waist.

157

Do not rock your shoulders unnecessarily or you will look flirtatious.

158

Greetings, Your Highness.

159

- What's up?

- The Flower department delivered these flowers.

160

Look at how fresh they are.

161

The colors are bright. The Empress Dowager will like them. Place them over there.

162

Yes.

163

You both, look carefully.

164

Hold your handkerchief gently.

165

Be fragile and gentle.

166

The bottom of the flower pot should stable.

167

Take small steps.

168

Hold your handkerchief gently.

169

Be fragile and gentle.

170

The bottom of the flower pot should be stable.

171

Take small steps.

172

What am I doing? I won't even be able to meet His Majesty.

173

Who would I be practicizing this for?

174

Yanwan.

175

- Chunchan?

- Yanwan, what are you doing here?

176

Fen Gugu told me to get fresh flowers,

to have the clothes scented with them.

177

To scent the cloths...

How about these Daphne odora's?

178

These will do.

179

Aren't you a maid for First Prince?

180

What are you doing here?

181

It's hard to explain. I was anxious and got kicked out to here.

182

It's a pity that I'm just a junior palace maid. I can't help you.

183

What about that guard? Will he be able to help you?

184

Isn't he infatuated with you?

185

Ever since I started working as a place at Zhongcui Palace,

186

I haven't been close to him.

187

I'm not talking to you anymore. Or else Aunt Fen will scold me.

188

Chunchan, wait. If you have the time, come here and chat with me.

189

I will.

190

Come often.

191

Sir, you have been summoned.

192

Who's asking for me?

193

Go out and you will know.

194

Are you Ling Yunche?

195

Stop hitting him.

196

Dear brothers, let's talk in a civilized manner. What's wrong?

197

Your brother should be careful.

198

Ling Yunche, are you okay?

199

Do you know why we hit you?

200

Little rascal, you are really clueless.

201

Do you think you are that smart?

202

You even dared to offend our Mistress.

203

Be careful next time or you won't even know how you will die!

204

Rightly said.

205

Our Mistress has a prince.

206

Whichever short-sighted person dares to provoke our Mistress,

207

they are really asking to die. Consider yourself as being ignorant this time.

208

Remember this. You are just a guard in the cold palace.

209

You are even nosy about saving lives. Be careful that you don't lose yours.

210

We understand.

211

Be wiser.

212

Let's go.

213

Ling Yunche, come. I'll help you up.

214

Come.

215

Wait. Come here.

216

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

217

You did well.

218

Who are they? They said that they were looking for you. Why did they hit you?

219

How would I know?

220

Could it be because you saved the Mistress who's in there?

221

Other than this, what else could it be?

222

You should tell them the old aunt wanted you to protect her. It wasn't your wish.

223

Ling Yunche, Zhao Jiuxiao. What the person at the top meant,

224

you must watch over Ula-Nara carefully.

225

You must not let her die. When it's needed, I will protect your lives

226

and also her life. Just do what you are told. Don't ask any any questions.

227

Don't mention this to anyone and don't let her know.

228

If not, you will die too.

229

How could I tell them?

230

That Aunt is so mysterious.

231

If I tell them, Aunt will be angrier with me.

232

Secondly, they wouldn't believe me too.

233

Let me tell you. Regarding this matter,

234

you must not talk about it.

235

You are really good-for-nothing. You shouldn't have gone in to save that person and got beaten up for nothing.

236

You can't say this.

237

How I could just watch and not save her?

238

Even more so, Aunt has already given her instructions.

239

Fortunately, your bones were not broken or it will be a big problem.

240

Must you risk your life to help that old Aunt?

241

This was not totally because of that Aunt.

242

Those subordinates are very ruthless.

243

Enough. I'm going to get some rubbing alcohol for you.

244

Thanks.

245

Ling Yunche.

246

What's wrong?

247

Oh my god.

248

What's wrong?

249

The stitches are very detailed and thick. You made this?

250

Let's forget it.

251

Ever since I joined the palace, no one has ever sewn shoes for me.

252

I dare not wear it if you have made this.

253

What's wrong with your face?

254

Don't talk about this. I got beaten up.

255

Consider myself unlucky for saving your life and being beaten up.

256

Who beat you?

257

A few junior guards.

258

A few junior guards?

259

Did you hear what they said?

260

I didn't hear them say much.

261

Just that it was from someone who has a prince.

262

Because I was rushing to be on duty, I didn't fight back that day.

263

If I did, I could have taken them on.

264

It's true, I swear. I'm fine.

265

Ling Yunche, you should accept this.

266

It took me two nights to sew this.

267

I wanted to thank you for saving my life.

268

Okay, I will accept this then. Thank you.

269

I heard that, it seems to be someone who has a prince.

270

Mistress, what's wrong?

271

Ling Yunche said that, those men who beat him up,

272

were from the palace where there is someone who has a prince.

273

The one who has a prince, in the palace,

274

There are only Concubine Chun and Concubine Jia.

275

Could it be them?

276

Concubine Chun is not bad.

277

Concubine Jia likes to ridicule and throw stones at others.

278

But we don't have that much serious grudges with them.

279

If I were to instruct you to harm someone,

280

would you follow my instructions?

281

Mistress, are you saying that those people deliberately beat up Ling Yunche?

282

Speaking about this, it's very clear and easy to have doubts.

283

There aren't any problems at the cold palace, right?

284

Your Majesty, don't worry.

285

She was merely shocked from encountering a snake.

286

Fortunately, she was saved just in time.

287

Imperial Jiang has already checked her. It's nothing serious.

288

Did you find out who did that?

289

The guard who saved her was beaten up.

290

It's said that the person who had him beaten up,

291

was a concubine from the palace who has a prince.

292

A concubine with a prince?

293

It was said very clearly. It should be taken with a grain of salt.

294

If someone deliberately guided this to fabricate this,

295

The water is indeed very muddy, I'm afraid.

296

What a mess. We must protect Ruyi even more.

297

Be careful and investigate this.

298

Yes.

299

Your Majesty, the preparations for Yuanming Garden has already been done.

300

We will be setting off tomorrow.

301

It's tiring to go by land and water transport. Hence, Empress Dowager dare not go.

302

Fine. Take good care of her then.

303

I heard that Assistant Captain Naerbu is doing repairs at the river. What's the status?

304

I heard that they are working very hard on it.

305

He did very well. Find a time to issue an edict to instruct him to return to the capital.

306

Your Majesty is kind.

307

- Your Majesty.

- What is it?

308

Empress Dowager said that there are not enough person to serve you.

309

Thus, she sent someone over.

310

Who is it?

311

She seems to be the daughter of Deputy Minister Lu.

312

Bring her in.

313

What is your name?

314

I'm Lu Muping, the daughter of Deputy Minister Lu.

315

Muping? How old are you?

316

Sixteen years old.

317

Empress Dowager wants you to serve me.

318

Do you know what this means?

319

Take the handle.

320

Place it here.

321

The soil is soft here. It will collapse easily.

322

Place more sandbags here.

323

Lord, you should take a rest.

324

No, it's more important to repair the embankment.

325

The water is coming in.

326

Let me take a look.

327

Lord, be careful.

328

Take a look.

329

I think it's going to rain heavily.

330

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

331

Greetings, Your Majesty.

332

Your Majesty, are looking for me?

333

Aren't you bored to be at Yuanming Garden?

334

The Empress' uncle has passed away.

335

She is grief-stricken. I'm heartbroken seeing her like this too.

336

Before this is over, there was another piece of news this morning.

337

Ruyi's father has passed away.

338

How could this be?

339

Wasn't he repairing the embankment at the river?

340

He was alive and doing fine.

341

There was an accident. When he was checking the embankment,

342

he fell into the water and was carried away by the tide.

343

When they saved him, it was already too late.

344

Your Majesty, Older sister lost her father.

345

Could you let her leave the cold palace to mourn

346

to show her filial piety before it's too late?

347

How can there be a reason for her to leave the cold palace?

348

If Empress Dowager and the others find out,

349

I fear that Ruyi will be in greater danger.

350

But older sister needs to see her father for the last time.

351

Don't let Ruyi find out about this first.

352

Wait till you have prepared his funeral,

353

and we will ask Empress Dowager again. You can tell Ruyi then.

354

Since she's been condemned to the cold palace,

things have been difficult.

355

I'm afraid that the funeral arrangements

can't even be made properly.

356

Assistant Captain Naerbu died while doing public service. He was a dedicated officer.

357

I will make him a ZuoLing*

(*A fourth tier functionary佐领)

358

We can also give him a decent funeral.

359

Send someone to take a look at Ula-Nara's home.

360

Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty.

361

He was supervising the embankment.

362

How could he fall into the water?

363

You didn't let us see you for the last time.

364

Old Master.

365

Old Master.

366

Eunuch Li.

367

His Majesty really had Li Yu go to

368

the residence of the Ula-Nara's

369

I heard that his Majesty

not only had compensation fee drawn out officially.

370

He even told Eunuch Li to take some money along with him.

371

Also, His Majesty feared that person in the cold palace would be grief-stricken.

372

He didn't let her know about the funeral first.

373

After it's done, he will let Noble Lady Hai inform her about it.

374

Looks like His Majesty still misses Ruyi.

375

Your Highness, take a sip of the tea.

376

Please don't be worried.

They can‘t surmount us anyway.

377

His Majesty granted Maqi a grand poet scolar tomb

378

and also provided money for the funeral.

379

And also came to keep you company and comforted you.

380

This is incomparable.

381

As for that person in the cold palace,

382

she will always be in there and unable to come out.

383

Hence, don't worry. Take care of yourself and don't ruin your health.

384

Don't worry?

385

How could I feel at ease?

386

Since I became the Empress,

387

and also pregnant with the child of the Emperor,

388

I have the backing of my uncle.

389

Even more so, when Uncle kept being sick too.

390

But I was calm.

391

But Yonglian has passed away.

392

Uncle is dead too.

393

I'm alone in the harem now.

394

How can I still live in glory?

395

Your Highness, don't worry. With you here, Fucha tribe will never decline.

396

I'm merely a woman.

397

I only hope for a strong marital affection

398

and have children.

399

But my position, legal son and family clan,

400

they were heavy burdens to me.

401

I'm really very exhausted.

402

Your Highness. Even if you are exhausted, you must not relax.

403

There are many people secretly eyeing your position.

404

Since this is my position,

405

no one can easily take it as they want.

406

I don't care about those around me.

407

I only care about that person in the cold palace.

408

If she didn't curse Yonglian and caused him to die,

409

Uncle would never have been grief stricken and died from illness.

410

His Majesty still cares about her emotional status

411

and fear that she would be sad.

412

The loss of a loved one, the feeling of a living hell

413

she should try it too.

414

Mistress.

415

I just received word from a junior eunuch.

416

He said that Noble Lady Hai passed him a piece of news that Old Master...

417

What's wrong with my father?

418

What's wrong with my father?

419

The news from Yuanming Garden said that when Old Master was supervising the embankment, he fell into the water.

420

He was drowned and passed away.

421

Mistress, don't go out.

422

Open the date.

423

Open the gate.

424

Why are you shouting? Crazy woman.

425

Mistress, what are you doing? We won't be able to leave.

426

Zhang Baotie, can you find Ling Yunche for me?

427

You want to see Ling Yunche? What's wrong? Trying to go out?

428

Ling Yunche!

429

Ling Yunche!

430

- Ling Yunche!

- Shut up.

431

- Ling Yunche!

- Ling Yunche!.

432

- Older brother.

- Ling Yunche.

433

Go and take a break. I'm here.

434

LingYunche!

435

- What's wrong?

- Ling Yunche, I heard that something bad happened to my father.

436

Can you help me to go back to my home to take a look

437

to see what's wrong with my father?

438

Don't panic. I'm going there to take a look.

439

Can you go now?

440

Let me change my shift then.

441

I will wait here for you to return.

442

Okay.

443

Mistress, must you insist on waiting here?

444

It's heavily raining. I fear that you may catch a cold. Let's wait inside the house.

445

I'll wait here for him to return.

446

I don't believe that my father would leave like that.

447

Mistress, it has been two nights

448

and you haven't slept a wink. You should rest now.

449

Ling Yunche has already gone to your home to check.

450

Old Master's funeral will definitely go smoothly.

451

Old Madam and the rest are fine too.

452

His Majesty, Noble Lady Hai and Eunuch Li

453

have also sent money to your home.

454

It's my fault.

455

I caused his death.

456

Old Master's death was an accident.

457

How could you blame yourself?

458

If it weren't because of me that I dragged him down,

459

He wouldn't have suffered by going to repair the embankment

460

and fell into the water. And Mother too.

461

Although Ling Yunche said that my mother and the rest are okay

462

but my father passed away and I'm still in the cold palace.

463

How could my mother and siblings be okay?

464

You must take good care of your health.

465

If you were to collapse,

466

they will have no one to count on then.

467

Suoxin, I should have listened to Aunt.

468

I wouldn't have been sent to the cold palace then.

469

Father wouldn't have passed away too.

470

Mistress, don't think much about this.

471

Jiang Yubin sent this sedative.

472

Drink this and rest.

473

Qingying, kneel down!

474

What's wrong with you?

475

I risked my life to let you live.

476

I didn't do it to let you go to the cold palace.

477

Your father passed away prematurely.

478

As his daughter, you are the culprit.

479

You couldn't protect yourself and dragged your family down with you.

480

You caused the family to be in misfortunes and be placed in a quandary.

481

You are not fit to be a woman from the Ula-Nara clan.

482

Aunt.

483

I didn't expect the harem to be so dark

484

and the people to be so evil.

485

The wealth, prosperity, trust of the Emperor

486

and glory of the family,

487

you have lost them.

488

What do you plan to do?

489

Are you going to grow old and die in the cold palace?

490

Grow old and die in the cold palace?

491

What's wrong, Mistress? Did you have a nightmare again?

492

- Souxin, I need some water.

- Okay.

493

Suoxin, let's think of a way to get out of here.

494

[ Respectfully cultivates the principles of a wife ]

495

Does everyone already know?

496

Zhao Yitai has already made the preparations and everything is in progress.

497

Ula-Nara will be grief stricken.

498

I want to see how she is

499

and how she feels.

500

It must be very painful and hard to accept.

501

Your Highness. We have completed the preparations for the Buddhist rite for Mid Autumn festival.

502

Okay, I know.

503

Wait.

504

Think of a way again to deliver joss offerings and paper money to the cold palace.

505

And let that person Ula-Nara fulfill her responsibilities.

506

It's the rule of the palace that these can't be burnt.

507

Once it's discovered, it's a serious crime.

508

Rules are rules in the palace but it will be Mid Autumn festival soon.

509

We also have our Buddhist rites for the Ghost Festival

510

to grieve for the dead.

511

Don't make it hard for Ula-Nara too and let her her be fillal in the cold palace too.

512

I will do it immediately.

513

Before you leave the palace, use someone to deliver the items.

514

Ensure that it's not related to us.

515

After you have returned to the palace, you must bribe Cheng Han.

516

Your Highness, don't worry. Burning incense, offerings and joss papers are prohibited in the palace.

517

Even more so, when these three items are considered as curses.

518

Especially when the Empress Dowager considers this as a taboo.

519

Eunuch Cheng Han will definitely keep a lookout for the Empress Dowager.

520

Let him keep a lookout then. I won't treat him shabbily.

521

Yes. Eunuch Cheng Han has already delivered news that

522

First Class Attendant Qing is the Empress Dowager's first choice.

523

There is also another, Her Highness, Consort Shu.

524

It's said that she's very arrogant.

525

I understand. Go back to your back.

526

Yes.

527

Noble Lady Hai.

528

- Mistress.

- What is this?

529

These are the offerings and paper money which Noble Lady Hai's maid delivered through the hole where they deliver food.

530

They are for you to mourn.

531

Noble Lady Hai sent these?

532

It wasn't guard Ling Yunche who brought these here?

533

It's not.

534

Mistress, the palace prohibits the burning of incense and offerings

535

but it won't be easily detected in the cold palace.

536

Let's burn these as offerings for Old Master.

537

It's odd where these are from.

538

It's the Mid Autumn Festival today. His Majesty has allowed the concubines

539

to send offerings and burn the paper boats

540

to grieve for the dead.

541

Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Highness.

542

Everyone, line up according to your rank. Your Highness, please go first.

543

Release the fireworks and burn the paper boats.
