Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

20

Episode 26

21

Greetings to Your Majesty and Royal Mother.

22

Greetings to Your Majesty and Empress Dowager.

23

Everyone rise.

24

Thank you, Empress Dowager, Emperor.

25

Today we Sister Hengti has come in the palace, and Royal Mother must be elated.

[ Elder Princess Hengti ]

26

Usually she is nurtured by the duchess in Duke Xianqing's manor.

27

And I hardly get to see Hengti.

28

Now I see you up close.

29

I can see that the duchess has fostered you thoughtfully.

30

Your royal health is well so today I'll accompany you to hike up to Mount Wanshou.

31

Royal Mother doesn't look one bit tired.

32

I can see it's because she's elated upon seeing Sister Hengti.

33

Duchess Xianqing treats me very well.

34

Just that your daughter rarely gets to see you.

35

So I miss you always.

36

I miss you too. Come.

37

Accompany me to sit.

38

Alright.

39

Royal Mother, this is floral cakes Empress led the consorts to make.

40

Please have a try.

41

They already look delicious.

42

Mother, you try one first.

43

Royal Mother loves to eat soft things.

44

These floral cakes were made to the size of coins.

45

It will be soft and buttery to the bite.

46

You are thoughtful.

47

I am your daughter-in-law. I only want to know what sits on your mind.

48

So I can help make things more inclining to you.

49

Other than that, I have no other intention.

50

Empress, you are filial and devoted without any reservation.

51

How could I dislike you?

52

We are mother and daughter-in-law in an imperial family.

53

Hence we can't be like a small family of a small clan.

54

A family scheming against one another behind their backs.

55

Turning a good family into disharmony.

56

Your words, the empress has heard them all.

57

Royal Mother, let us raise the dogwood,

58

and drink some chrysanthemum wine to toast to Double Ninth Festival.

59

Great.

60

Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Empress prepared a special music and dance today.

61

Let us watch and drink at the same time.

62

Alright. Everyone sit.

63

Thank you, Your Majesty.

64

Royal Mother, I toast to you.

65

I bid Empress Dowager, Emperor, Empress health and wellness and prosperity in long life.

66

Alright.

67

Bidding Empress Dowager, Emperor, Empress a blissful Double Ninth.

68

Bidding Empress Dowager, Emperor, Empress

69

- health and peace.

- Bidding Empress Dowager, Emperor, Empress health and peace.

70

Emperor, we are already in Autumn.

71

Dancing to Peach Ode seems too unfitting.

72

Let us switch to a different tune and dance.

73

I will introduce to you a new person.

74

I heed by your recommendation.

75

Fujia.

76

[ Yehe-Nara Yihuan ]

77

♫ Misty clouds at night ♫

78

♫ my perpetual weary of the day ♫

79

♫ As the fire continues in the bronze incense burner ♫

80

♫ My weary of the days ♫

81

♫ come beckon again ♫

82

♫ The chill ♫

83

His Majesty loves poetry the most. This maiden stands out.

84

How does she stand out?

85

The song doesn't sound like a song or a poem. What is it?

86

This is Li Qingzhao's "Drunken Flower".

87

Rippling small steps, tredding on song and sing out the poem.

88

It is refreshing and extraordinary. A standout conception.

89

♫ Nothing chases away the ghosts ♫

90

♫ Despite the west wind ♫

91

♫ I am thinner than the yellow flower ♫

92

♫ Thinner than the yellow flower ♫

93

You're done with singing and dancing, so you should come closer.

94

Greetings to Empress Dowager, Emperor and Empress.

95

Great. Tonight's performance was just great.

96

Why do you only recite poem?

97

I do not like dance tunes that are overly bustling.

98

Instead I find the poems of the people of the past more intriguing.

99

One must carefully savor the words before one can fully grasp it.

100

I heard your Majesty is very well-learned.

101

I'm sure that your Majesty can fully appreciate the tune.

102

The one selected bu the Royal Mother is indeed elegant, her thoughts are also absent of worldliness.

103

Li Qingzhao's "Drunken Flower" describing her missing her husband during the Double Ninth Festival is also fitting for this time of the year.

104

Whether fitting or not, it's not for me to decide.

105

Only you, your Majesty, can make this decision.

106

Your Majesty, This Gege is Shilang* Yongshou's daughter.

(*Shilang: comparable to today's deputy minister)

107

She is of the Bordered Yellow Banner from Machu.

108

You are born to a rather noble linage, what's your name.

109

Yihuan, means joyous fulfillment of one's wish.

110

Yihuan, in the past when a man and a women like each other.

111

The woman would call her lover 'Huan'.

112

You name is very romantic.

113

Indeed, your Majesty is very knowledgeable.

114

I like the words from Xiangjianhuan* the most.

(* Joyous encounter)

115

It's indeed a joyous encounter between us. What's your last name?

116

Yehe-Nara

117

Yehe-Nara?

118

You Majesty, although

119

But I heard that the Yehe-Nara's were destroyed by our Qing-dynasty's founding Emperor Nurhaci.

120

Yehe-Nara's head of the clan, Jintaiji

121

Was filled with grief and angry before he died, he vowed that

122

even Yehe-Nara has only one woman left,

123

she will destroy the Aisin-Gioro's. Could this be true?

124

Imperial concubine Jia is well-informed. It is true, indeed.

125

They are only rumors,

Yehe-clan has already offered their service a long time ago.

126

Yihuan's father has become his Majesty's Shilang.

127

I don't believe a girl

128

will be able to transcendent into something supernatural*.

(*thus becoming almighty)

129

Your Majesty, what say you?

130

I recall that one of founding Emperor's wives is a Yehe-Nara.

131

She even gave birth to Emperor Hong Taiji for him.

132

Her contribution will be remembered for generations.

133

Yihuan, what are you waiting for. Thank his Majesty's grace.

134

Thank you for your praise, your Majesty.

135

I'm not praising you, Yehe-Nara's are of a noble linage.

136

To be able to recite the poem so mildly and pleasantly, it's rare indeed.

137

I think the ones who know the Han's poem,

138

except for the Noble Consort, there is...

139

Now, this Yihuan-meimei*

(*younger sister)

140

is like Ruyi-jiejie*

(*older sister),

141

adept in poetry and literature.

142

Your Majesty is proficient in the Manchu, Mongolian and Han languages and their poetry and history.

143

I dare not to be an ignorant person before your Majesty.

144

Never mind, It must have been fate.

145

You can be a Noble lady and stay by my side.

146

Thank you, your Majesty.

147

I toast to your Majesty, congratulations on winning a beauty.

148

Congratulations, your Majesty.

149

Your Majesty, the new one danced and sung.

150

We had enough earthly fun.

151

My father brought some fireworks.

152

Why don't we watch them for some fun in the sky?

153

Okay, it's indeed fitting.

154

Look!

155

Your Majesty, look!

156

This one is the 'Heavenly maids scattering blossoms'

157

That yellow one there, is the 'Golden monkey presenting the fruit'.

158

There's also 'Eight Immortals crossing the sea', ‘The Iron tree blossoming’...

159

That exceptional one over there, is called 'Noble consort Yang viewing the peonies'.

160

This is really beautiful.

161

Don't you like fireworks?

162

It's not bad and is lively, too.

163

But if being a human-being is like being these fireworks,

164

only to return to the loneliness in the end.

165

It's better to be the stars in the sky.

166

The light shines dimly but it's everlasting.

167

The one taught by the Royal Mother is exceptional indeed.

168

When you talk, you soothe my mood greatly. So I shall title you "Shu (soothing)".

169

You are to reside in the Chuxiu Palace

170

Thank you, Your Majesty.

171

Your Majesty, bad news!

172

Cold Palace is on fire.

173

- How did it catch fire?

- I don't know either.

174

Let's go.

175

How did it catch fire?

176

Help!

177

Ling Yunche!

178

Is anyone there?

179

Help!

180

Ling Yunche!

181

Anyone there?

182

(sobbing and crying)

183

You.

184

Get up now.

185

Anyone there?

186

Mistress!

187

Anyone there?

188

Ling Yunche!

189

Anyone there?

190

Don't watch anymore. Go back.

191

Go.

192

Are you nuts? The fire's raging and whoever inside is long dead.

193

I haven't seen them.

194

But you still can't go in.

195

- Ling Yunche!

- Suoxin!

196

- Ling Yunche!

- Suoxin!

197

Ling Yunche.

198

Move aside.

199

Be careful.

200

Hurry.

201

Get water.

202

Hurry up!

203

Quick!

204

Coming.

205

Mistress.

206

Your Majesty.

207

Your Majesty, Cold Palace is a forbidden place. Someone as mighty as you shouldn't step here easily.

208

We should go back. Your Majesty!

209

Mistress.

210

Mistress.

211

Mistress. Breathe.

212

Are you okay?

213

Ling Yunche, thank you for saving us.

214

Thank you, Ling Yunche.

215

It's good that you are okay. Take a rest first.

216

I'm going to put out the fire.

217

Mistress.

218

Hurry.

219

Get water.

220

- Mistress, are you okay?

- How did it suddenly catch fire?

221

I don't know. I was asleep too.

222

Hurry up.

223

Quick.

224

Your Majesty, look.

225

Your Majesty.

226

Don't get up.

227

228

Cold Palace is on fire. Is everyone okay?

229

Replying to Empress. Emperor. Luckily no one died.

230

We are putting out the fire now.

231

Okay.

232

Ruyi, are you okay?

233

I'm fine, Your Highness.

234

It's good that you are fine.

235

Hurry.

236

Hurry.

237

This way.

238

Let's leave.

239

Yes.

240

Mistress, His Majesty...

241

Were you scared?

242

Are you better now?

243

Your Majesty, this fire happened too sudden.

244

Though no one died in Cold Palace, the damage to the buildings is severe.

245

But after some repairs, it should still be livable.

246

How did Cold Palace catch fire when it's so damp?

247

About this...

248

It's truly because last night the breeze was strong and it blew down some fireworks.

249

Cold Palace is aged and has not been repaired, with the roof rotting.

250

Once lit, it just became unmanageable.

251

- Leave.

- Yes.

252

Your Majesty, I was wrong.

253

I am with offense.

254

I only wanted to celebrate.

255

I didn't mean to set fire.

256

Your Majesty, I was wrong.

257

Your Majesty, Noble Consort, due to the fireworks that blew and set Cold Palace on fire,

258

she's kneeling outside Yangxin Hall moaning her offense.

259

Aren't you at fault?

260

I instructed you to keep an eye on her

261

and keep her alive.

262

Now she's been in danger many times and what do you say?

263

It's my fault.

264

The two guards at Cold Palace has diligently saved Mistress Yi many times.

265

It's my incompetence. I've underestimated whoever wants to harm Mistress Yi.

266

It's not you who underestimated them. It's me.

267

I thought that they would stop when Ruyi entered the cold palace.

268

But they've only gotten worse and worse.

269

Should...we get her out from there?

270

We don't have a pretext to bring her out right noq.

271

Your Majesty, I was wrong.

272

I was wrong.

273

Your Majesty, I was wrong.

274

Enough. Look at how you are kneeling here during the day.

275

Others will laugh at you.

276

Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong. Please don't ignore me.

277

Stand up.

278

This is not your fault.

279

The wind was so strong and how is that your fault?

280

You...really won't blame me?

281

Look at how pitiful you are.

282

Okay, everything's fine.

283

Go back now. I will visit you when I'm free.

284

I'm taking my leave.

285

I have been enduring all this time.

286

The fireworks during the Double Ninth Festival seemed to be the right time and right place.

287

The Ula-Nara managed to survive anyway.

288

We aren't empty handed either.

289

When his Majesty heard that the Cold Palace was leaking

290

He sent people over there immediately.

291

You can see how anxious his Majesty is about the one in the Cold Palace.

292

Whenever I think about how she was talking to his Majesty yesterday.

293

I know that she hasn't gave up yet. That vicious woman.

294

She cursed my Yonglian to dead, death would not be a sufficient punishment for her.

295

Who was it that saved her?

296

Must have been one of Cold Palace's guards.

297

I must punish them!

298

Don't, Empress. Think about it carefully.

299

Shortly after the incident at the Cold Palace, the guards are punished immediately.

300

It was a matter not directly linked to you, but people might start to rethink.

301

What should we do if His Majesty continues to investigate?

302

Then, we still don't have to be worried. Even if the investigation continues,

303

it was Noble Lady Shen who had people sprinkle the kerosene. We will not be implicated in any case.

304

- How are things?

- Noble Consort has been sobbing.

305

His Majesty didn't blame her and is even comforting her.

306

His Majesty really didn't investigate this?

307

Looks like there won't be any problems.

308

When I had you sprinkle the kerosene at the Cold Palace, were you careful?

309

I was very careful.

310

It's good then, it's good then.

311

Luckily, your body is harmed.

312

Imperial Physician Jiang, Ling Yunche stormed over to save us the other day

313

Is he harmed? Has his Majesty blamed him?

314

He's fine, he only chocked on the smoke.

315

His Majesty saw that he saved lives without delay, he didn't punish him.

316

That's good then.

317

But, last night's fire seemed odd.

318

I find it odd as well.

319

Even though last night was windy and the fireworks went off,

320

how come that only your room caught fire?

321

The fire spread ever so quickly.

322

Next to everything that has happened lately, one can't help but doubt.

323

Someone must have deliberately set the fire.

324

Luckily no one got hurt. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to cover it up.

325

The ones who dare to pull off something like this, they can cover up anything.

326

Luckily, we were able to escape this time as well.

327

Luck and misfortune often walk hand in hand, we will wait and see.

328

Is Hailan doing okay? Was she scared?

329

Noble lady Hai was terrified. Fortunately, she knows that you're fine.

330

That's why she stayed at Yanxi Palace.

331

Imperial Physician Jiang, you must take good care of her.

332

She is very thin to begin with. On top of that, she must take care of the baby.

333

You must have her eating enough food.

334

Don't worry. I will do my best.

335

Imperial Physician Jiang, there is still another favor I would like to ask from you.

336

Please tell me.

337

This belongs to His Majesty.

338

Please return this to him.

339

The Cold Palace is unclean, it can't hold holy items.

340

I understand.

341

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

342

Your Majesty, Noble lady Hai's fetus looks fine.

343

However, the mother's body frail and weak, it isn't very stable.

344

The fetus is, as a consequence, a little weak as well.

345

She must have some medicine to stimulate her appetite and improve her health.

346

Only a stable mother's body can bring forth a strong and healthy royal descendant.

347

When the labour time arrives, Noble lady will have the strength to give birth.

348

I find her belly to be small indeed.

349

It's not easy during the pregnancy, the lack of appetite

350

should indeed be supplemented through other ways.

351

But is it okay to medicate during the pregnancy?

352

I will think about it carefully, it should be no problem.

353

Your Majesty, the imperial physician Jiang is a meticulous person. I trust him.

354

It's good.

355

I was at the Cold Palace just now for a diagnosis.

356

The Cold Palace's mistress wants me to return this to your Majesty.

357

She said: The Cold Palace is unclean,

it can't hold holy items.

358

Your Majesty, she really has been having a hard time.

359

Even in a downtrodden place like the Cold Palace,

360

she was able to clean your Majesty's clothes so neatly.

361

I can't imagine just how carefully over and over she washed them.

362

Li Yu, bring it here.

363

The night of the fire, I saw how feebly she dressed.

364

So I draped it over here on purpose.

365

But she just won't keep it.

366

And asked you to bring it back.

367

Your Majesty, Sister fears she's miss you upon seeing this.

368

And she must deem herself an abandoned wife of yours.

369

She is not suitable to have something that is yours.

370

Jiang Yubin. Noble Lady Hai recommended you to be her baby's physician.

371

At first I wasn't too relaxed about it.

372

But now I see that you are so detailed,

373

in your service to Ruyi and Noble Lady Hai.

374

So I now I am much more assured.

375

To my eyes, Mistress Yi in Cold Palace,

376

and Noble Lady Hai who's pregnant are the same.

377

They are both people I must diligently and earnestly watch over.

378

Alright. You rest then. I'm heading back to Yangxin Hall.

379

Take care, Your Majesty.

380

Physician Jiang, where's the item?

381

Noble Lady Hai.

382

You must be careful. Watch the portion.

383

If I just use as you said.

384

There wouldn't be any problems, right?

385

If really something did happen, my head will drop first.

386

Don't worry. I've got another prescription with me.

387

I will get it filled and have you drink it to detoxify.

388

I've troubled you .

389

This matter must never been known to Sister or she'd worry.

390

Noble Lady Hai, you are so devoted to Mistress Yi.

391

Physician Jiang is also devoted to Suoxin.

392

May this matter succeed.

393

That way, Sister and Suoxin can come out peacefully.

394

You've moved to Chuxiu Palace for so many days.

395

His Majesty never flipped your tag.

396

No rush.

397

Ever since the first time I met His Majesty,

398

I've never thought in my dreams that I could be so close to him.

399

Being able to be with His Majesty,

400

I'm already contented.

401

Go back.

402

- What's going on?

- I don't know either.

403

Older sister, what's going on?

404

His Majesty's lighting an incense in the temple.

405

It's His Majesty.

406

How formidable.

407

My father always said His Majesty was gracious and sage.

408

But we can't go and pray to Buddha because His Majesty's here?

409

Gege, we're in the capital here. We're not in Zhuji.

410

You shouldn't dare to talk like that.

411

I will see just what this emperor looks like.

412

He's coming.

413

Kneel.

414

Gege. Hurry and kneel. Gege, hurry.

415

Why does he look just as I imagined?

416

Fill the prescription by the amount written. Not a tiny hair over.

417

Afterwards send it to Yanxi Palace.

418

Tell them boil three bowls of water for one bowl of medicine. Did you remember all that?

419

Yes, I understand.

420

Go now.

421

Come, Yongcheng, smile for Royal Mother.

422

You sure do raise the kid better when you get to keep it by you.

423

Empress, I am not well learned and I'm short tempered.

424

I fear I can't teach Yongcheng well.

425

If you feel destined to him,

426

then I am willing to let you raise Yongcheng.

427

I keep getting sick here and there.

428

I fear even if I want to, I just can't manage physically.

429

You raise Yongcheng well.

430

And once Noble Lady Hai's baby is born, he'll have a playmate.

431

Pregnancy is 10 months long and until the delivery, all babies are circling between life and death.

432

May she birth the child peacefully without any troubles.

433

Mistress, it's time to take your medicine soon.

434

Yexin, it's almost winter.

435

Make a couple new thick outerwear for me, for Sister, and Suoxin.

436

Also, send some money to Ula-Nara's manor.

437

The widow and child alone would be struggling.

438

Mistress, whatever silvers you have,

439

you've saved them all for Mistress Yi's maiden home.

440

Zezhi, is there anymore donkey-hide gelatin in our kitchen?

441

There is some prepared.

442

- Go bring a bowl.

- Yes.

443

Mistress, since you've drank the medicine from Physician Jiang, your appetite's been so great.

444

Your body hasn't changed much in other places.

445

But that royal baby in your womb's gotten quite a bit bigger.

446

Indeed. This child is growing fast.

447

The garment is getting tighter.

448

You are eating for two people now.

449

You can't cheat the little boss inside.

450

Yexin. I suddenly want to eat fish and chicken soup noodle.

451

Go ask Zezhi to make it.

452

Yes.

453

Child, I am already very careful.

454

Don't blame me.

455

Your Majesty, Qi Ru is here.

456

Let him in.

457

Greetings, Your Majesty.

458

I've flipped Noble Lady Shu's green tag tonight.

459

Noble Lady Shu is a nobleman's daughter selected personally by Empress Dowager.

460

I imagine Empress Dowager wants her to achieve a royal heir soon.

461

I will go and make a stable-fetus medicine now.

462

To assist her getting pregnant sooner.

463

Tomorrow morning go and take her pulse.

464

See how health is and what medicines suit her.

465

It doesn't matter how rare or expensive. Just use them.

466

I understand. I will do as the old rule says.

467

Noble Lady Hai, what's wrong?

468

Imperial Concubine Mei, look at my mouth-side.

469

I've got so many sores.

470

I feel feverish and anxious.

471

And I dream a lot. I wanted to ask you to come to ask you.

472

Isn't this the same as what you had previously?

473

Yes, it is.

474

Isn't Ula-Nara in the cold palace now?

475

How could this happen again?

476

I don't know.

477

I'm very scared.

478

Don't panic. Don't panic.

479

His Majesty is here.

480

You're spared. Rest.

481

I asked Physician Qi to come look at you.

482

Your Majesty.

483

- Physician Qi.

- Here.

484

Your Majesty, Noble Lady Hai's pulse.

485

It has a sinking onion-like image.

486

It has a shape but it's hollow. There isn't anything severe.

487

- Is that so?

- Yes.

488

Your Majesty, that year the physician didn't see anything either.

489

But Lady Hai's symptoms,

490

they are too much alike to mine and Concubine Yi's that year.

491

Your Majesty, I've looked at Lady Hai's food and charcoal.

492

I discovered the method used to harm Lady Hai

493

is very similar to that used on Concubine Mei and Yi.

494

But fortunately, the weather only got chilly recently so she hasn't used too much charcoal yet.

495

And Noble Lady Hai eats less fish and shrimp.

496

So the toxins are only skin and hair-deep, without seeping into fetus yet.

497

Your Majesty, if we have proof,

498

we can then prove Lady Hai's been poisoned by cinnabar.

499

Your Majesty. Who is it?

500

Who wants to harm me and my baby?

501

Don't be scared. I am here.

502

Qi Ru.

503

The royal fetus is not harmed?

504

Since we discovered early fortunately, no big harm.

505

Since Concubine Jia birthed Yongcheng,

506

I thought I could regard all things smooth now.

507

I didn't expect this to happen again.

508

Someone must be trying to harm my baby.

509

Your Majesty, someone must be trying to harm it.

510

Who tried to harm us?

511

Your Majesty, could it be that Ula-Nara is trying to harm her again?

512

Impossible. She's still in the cold palace.

513

Xiao Luzi is already dead.

514

Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Anzi are still locked up. So can't be them.

515

Your Majesty, who could it be?

516

I also heard that Ula-Nara harming Royal Heir incident.

517

So now is it the case that her accomplice are still in the palace,

518

or was she only framed by others while the true culprit,

519

is still using the same method to harm royal heirs.

520

Your Majesty. Ula-Nara getting framed isn't the priority.

521

But royal heirs can't die so wrongly.

522

If you don't investigate, more will get harmed.

523

Your Majesty, it was Lady Shen who was the biggest witness then.

524

I fear the truth falls on Lady Shen.

525

Lady Shen betrayed her mistress for glory so that's indeed a flawed character.

526

But if Ula-Nara was truly framed, that Lady Shen

527

probably got bought out by the real mastermind long ago.

528

Your Majesty, Lady Shen is very suspicious.

529

We haven't finished the investigation.

530

Don't make wild suppositions.

531

Lady Hai, you rest assured.

532

Physicians in the royal medicine court are all at your beckon.

533

You must preserve the royal heir.

534

The rest, I will take care of it.

535

We didn't touch Lady Hai's baby. Who was it?

536

Who wants to copy my method then?

537

Thus, I'm afraid.

538

That method is exactly the same as ours back then.

539

Don't panic. It wasn't us anyway.

540

Is that whore A'Rou doing this?

541

She wouldn't dare.

542

Who could it be?

543

My harem can't even allow a baby.

544

It's scary thinking about it.

545

It's fortunate that Concubine Jia lived in Zhenxiang Hall while she was pregnant with Fourth Prince.

546

That year, I should have investigated it thoroughly all the way.

547

Your Majesty, many things you wanted to back then,

548

but Empress Dowager didn't allow you to investigate.

549

Lady Hai's poison incident. Send my word.

550

Continue to investigate the incident regarding First Class Attendant Mei too.

551

Yes.

552

Jingxi House officer begs to see Your Majesty.

553

Your Majesty.

554

Let him in.

555

Your Majesty.

556

Lady Xian's old tag.

557

Lady Xian was demoted to a commoner.

558

Her green tag was cast off a long time ago.

559

How long will it take to do a new one?

560

I will be quick.

561

Did you want to make a new green tag for Lady Xian?

562

I was only just asking randomly.
