Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

3

Episode 65

4

Older Sister.

5

Why are you here?

6

I heard that you had some bleeding.

7

I couldn't sleep.

8

I couldn't sleep too.

9

Thus, I came here to recite some Buddhist scriptures to calm myself.

10

I will recite with you.

11

Okay then.

12

Her Highness has already suffered enough.

13

I hope she could give birth to the child without any hitches.

14

Pass the water to me.

15

Imperial Physician Jiang is very accurate.

16

Her Highness is indeed having a premature delivery.

17

If you count the days, there are still two months left.

18

Her baby is in the breech's position.

19

It will be a tough delivery.

20

Maternal Grandmother Tian is still the most experienced here. She should be here to turn the position of the baby

21

- so that it can be effective.

- Okay, let's go.

22

Li Yu, it's not convenient for me to enter the delivery room.

23

Check with mid wives. Why aren't there any movements yet?

24

Yes.

25

Your Majesty, should I go and take a look?

26

Consort Yu. Her Highness's baby is extremely auspicious.

27

If there are too many people, it may clash with the fortune.

28

It is also easy to lose things when there are too many people. Stay here with me.

29

Yes.

30

Your Majesty, don't worry. Her Highness has given birth twice.

31

Nothing will happen this time.

32

The delivery of the boy will definitely be without any hitches.

33

The baby is just more than seven months.

34

Your Majesty, I had already done the calculations.

35

Her Highness was born on 21st November.

36

It's an auspicious day.

37

Whether it's a boy or girl, her child will be

38

safe and sound. This goes without saying.

39

Fine. If it's a princess, I will confer her the title of Gurun Princess. If it's a prince,

40

I will name him Yongjing.

41

From the meaning of jade being splendid.

- Jing?

42

The splendor of jade.

43

Princes use the character Yong. Princesses use Jing.

44

Your Majesty is naming this showing Your Majesty's value.

45

When Empress became pregnant, the purple star shined brilliantly.

46

The precious names that Your Majesty has chosen,

47

they are extremely appropriate.

48

♫ Plight of mine dangerous or well, it is yet to be known.

49

♫ She. Whether she is to be alive, it is not easily determined.

50

Mistress, have some tea and moisten your throat.

51

- It's already daybreak. Is there any news about Her Highness? She has been trying to deliver for the whole night

52

and the baby is still not out yet.

53

If anything happens to her, pass Imperial Physician Bao's prescription to Midwife Tian.

54

I know, but will that prescription be of any use?

55

Grandmother Tian's daughter's illness is hereditary. When Bianque was alive,

56

he didn't manage to save her.

57

Since this is useless, then, your prescription...

58

It will only decrease her pain when her illness flares up.

59

It will only let Maternal Grandmother Tian think that she could really save her daughter.

60

But what if Maternal Grandmother Tian were to find out?

61

Her Highness is having problems with her delivery.

62

Does she think that she can still get away with it?

63

Be patient, Your Highness. You have already drank a few bowls of the delivery inducing medicine.

64

The baby is not at full term yet and he's tiny. He should be coming out soon.

65

Why aren't there any movements yet?

66

The baby is coming out.

67

Why aren't there any movements? Is the baby out yet?

68

But...why isn't there any sound of the baby crying?

69

Your Majesty.

70

Your Majesty, please forgive me.

71

What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the Empress?

72

Your Majesty, Her Highness' delivery wasn't smooth.

73

After tossing around for a long time, she gave birth to a son.

74

Son?

75

- That's good.

- It's indeed a boy.

76

But when he was born,

77

he stopped breathing.

78

How could that be?

79

Your Majesty, Her Highness is almost forty years old. Her body is not young anymore and suitable for birth.

80

Even more so, her baby was in a breech position.

81

Also, she had a premature birth. Hence...

82

How is Her Highness then?

83

Her Highness exhausted too much energy during labor and she's fainted.

84

I have already given her mountain ginseng soup.

85

She will be fine after she has woken up.

86

Your Majesty's son...

87

What's going on?

88

- I didn't expect that...

- Didn't you say that Thirteenth Prince

89

is an auspicious child? What's going on?

90

Your Majesty, please don't be angry.

91

When I studied the stars, it was confirmed as a prince.

92

As for the reason why, I really have no idea.

93

Your Majesty, forgive me for being brave. I have something to say.

94

There's a folklore saying that when a woman gives birth and she loses her baby,

95

the mother's fate is too strong and it subdued the baby.

96

You even dared to spout nonsense? You slandered the Empress!

97

I wouldn't dare, Your Majesty. I'm speaking the truth.

98

It's definitely a folklore saying.

99

If the baby survives and the mother dies, the baby has subdued the mother. It's also the other way around, Your Majesty.

100

Despicable woman. It's because you are incompetent.

101

You still dare to spread rumors here? I will definitely not spare you.

102

- Your Majesty.

- Consort Yu.

103

What she said, it made sense too.

104

Empress was born the year of the dog with yang stem, on the tenth of the second month, three after the hour of rooster.

105

It was originally a good birth date

106

And joined by the purple star, creating an auspicious child.

107

But this, purple star could not descend to Empress's fate.

108

So it became a hinder of harm, an omen of failure.

109

You...before the prince was born,

110

you were full of extreme flattery saying auspicious nonstop.

111

Now that he wasn't born safely, you are now pushing the blame to Her Highness.

112

Your Majesty, I'm begging you.

113

This Nanny Tian.

114

and also Astronomer Qin for the crime of spreading rumors.

115

- Your Majesty, please spare my live.

- Your Majesty, please spare my life.

116

I don't dare to speak rumors. If the prince had been born alive, he would've had the most blessed life.

117

But it was clearly the mother who subdued him and stopped from being being born alive.

118

It was beyond my control too.

119

Also, when Fifth Princess was born, she had a heart disease and died young too.

120

Now it seems also related to the fate of the Empress.

121

This is simply nonsense. You deserve to die.

122

Your Majesty, you must not spare them.

123

Thirteenth Prince, my son.

124

My beloved son didn't live for long.

125

We could not complete our destiny as father and son.

126

Name my 13th prince posthumously as Prince Daorui, to be buried by Crown Prince Duanhui.

127

All those involved in assisting the birth. Your care led to her misfortunate labor.

128

All will be cast out of the palace, never to be used again.

129

Your Majesty.

130

Astronomer Qin spread rumors

131

and slandered the Empress. You are dismissed and banished from the palace!

132

Consort Yu. The Empress had a difficult birth. Go and take care of her first.

133

With regards to Thirteenth Prince, when she's awake,

134

take your time to tell her.

135

I'm going to court now.

136

Your Majesty, don't you want to take a look at Thirteenth Prince?

137

I dare not

138

and I can't bear to face my own child leaving this world too.

139

Qianlong 20th year in reign. 13th Prince Yongjing dies.

140

Posthumously titled Prince Daorui, buried next to Crown Prince Duanhui.

141

Sir Ling, what are you still doing there? Let's go now.

142

Rongpei, keep watch over here.

143

Older Sister has lost another child again.

144

I wonder when she wakes up,

145

whether she will be so grief-stricken that she can't get over it.

146

You are worried about Her Highness. You should watch your health too.

147

Or else, who else can still be by her side?

148

It's snowing out there again.

149

It's so cold. Who can take it?

150

Consort Yu, how is Her Highness?

151

She's still not awake.

152

Why? Why could she keep her baby?

153

Why couldn't she keep it?

154

Does Her Highness know?

155

When she wakes up, what should we tell her?

156

Where's His Majesty?

157

He has gone to court. He wanted me to stay with Older Sister.

158

His Majesty is not here.

159

This is not a good idea.

160

- Older Sister.

- Your Highness.

161

Where's the baby? Bring him here.

162

Hailan.

163

Sister. 13th prince and you have a thin fate.

164

He has left first.

165

Hailan, why did you tell her now?

166

Will she be able to take it?

167

Older Sister, you will know it sooner or later.

168

It was a tough labor.

169

Your baby was in a breech position.

170

Thirteenth Prince's birth dragged for too long.

171

Hence, we couldn't protect the baby.

172

Where's the baby? Bring him to me.

173

Your Highness.

174

To prevent you from being sad,

175

His Majesty has ordered him to be taken away.

176

Please mourn for him. It's also good for you not to see him.

177

Your Highness. It because I saw you being heartbroken over Fifth Princess.

178

It's better not to see that kind of pain.

179

The baby has already being taken away.

180

Didn't Astronomer Qin said that it was an auspicious baby?

181

Why did he die

182

when he was born?

183

Astronomer Qin said that

184

your baby was auspicious.

185

He later said that you caused the death of your baby. What they said were basically...

186

Your Highness. Consort Ying is too grief-stricken.

187

- She's spouting nonsense.

- Older Sister.

188

Astronomer Qin was speaking nonsensical rumors.

189

His Majesty has already dismissed him.

190

Older Sister, don't pay attention to this.

191

His Majesty...

192

even named Thirteenth Prince, Yongjing.

193

Posthumously titled Prince Daorui.

194

Buried by Crown Prince Duanhui.

195

Where is His Majesty?

196

He has gone to court. He said that he will visit you later.

197

- Yong...

- Yongjing.

198

Older Sister.

199

Older Sister.

200

Mistress know that you are unlucky.

201

Here are some money. Use these when you leave the palace.

202

My future is gone.

203

What's the use of such a small sum of money?

204

Fine if you don't want this. This is Mistress' kind gesture. I will keep this then.

205

Who says that I don't want it?

206

Count carefully how much it's here.

207

My Lady, this is medicinal soup for the nourishment of blood. Drink this now.

208

Jiang Yubin.

209

I was pregnant for seven months.

210

You took my pulse daily.

211

Wasn't the baby doing well?

212

You were stable when you were pregnant

213

but during delivery, although I was there,

214

but I could only wait outside and couldn't approach you.

215

I only heard the midwives saying that your baby was in a breech position. They helped you to push for the whole night

216

before the little prince was born.

217

Nanny Tian kept saying that your baby was in a breech position.

218

She massaged your fetus for over a month but never got it to proper position.

219

During delivery, she helped you to push for the whole night.

220

You were in great pain

221

till the baby stopped moving and he was born.

222

Your Highness, I think that something's fishy.

223

With regards to helping to push the baby,

224

no one knows it better than Nanny Tian.

225

Report to His Majesty

226

and tell him to investigate these four mid-wives.

227

Especially Nanny Tian.

228

Yes.

229

Your Majesty.

230

I left the funeral eulogy that I wrote for Yongjing on the table.

231

Deliver this to Anhua Palace Hall to be burned.

232

Yes.

233

Regarding the request from Her Highness to investigate the midwives...

234

It's fine if she wants to investigate the midwives.

235

It's fine if her heart can be comforted.

236

Yes.

237

Your Majesty, there is something else.

238

Astronomer Qin poisoned himself due to guilt.

239

Is he dead?

240

When we discovered it, his body was already cold.

241

He deserved to die.

242

Your Majesty, do you believe in Astronomer Qin's words?

243

If I didn't believe him,

244

I wouldn't had placed such high hopes

245

on the Empress' baby.

246

Especially, when he was highly accurate

247

regarding Consort Shu.

248

And before that, when Empress Xiaoxian died.

249

his prediction was also accurate.

250

In my opinion, one should listen to astronomical phenomenons with a pinch of salt.

251

In the history of rulers, who didn't value astronomical phenomenons?

252

Your Majesty, you haven't visited Her Highness.

253

It can't be that you believe what Astronomer Qin said about Thirteenth Prince being subdued?

254

I don't want to believe it

255

but the Empress...

256

Forget it. Let's not talk about this.

257

How's the Empress doing? Is she better?

258

It's easy to nurse the body back to health

259

but not the spirit and soul are not doing well.

260

Tell her to take good care of herself.

261

When I have the time, I will see her.

262

Yes.

263

Release us.

264

Why did you arrest us? What did we do?

265

Release us.

266

Release us. We didn't do anything.

267

Release us.

268

- It's not related to us.

- That's right.

269

Nanny Tian.

270

Say something. You are our leader.

271

You must lead us.

272

We have been arrested.

273

What should we do?

274

Nanny Tian.

275

Release us.

276

We have been falsely accused.

277

Release us.

278

Nanny Tian, have you thought it through?

279

Are you going to confess or not?

280

I know. I have already told you everything.

281

But you didn't tell the truth. The Imperial Physician said that

282

Her Highness will have a premature delivery.

283

But the birth should have been quick for a premature delivery.

284

Even if the baby was in a breech position, the delivery couldn't have been that difficult till that stage.

285

So we suspected that someone intentionally dragged out Empress's labor to cause a stillbirth,

286

and caused the death of Thirteenth Prince?

287

How would I know?

288

Fine. If you still refused to confess,

289

it will be useless to beat you.

290

We can only invite your family here

291

and punish them instead.

292

We heard that you have a son living in the capital.

293

Don't touch my son.

294

This is not up to you.

295

- Men.

- I will confess.

296

Since you have opened your mouth,

297

spit out everything then.

298

Your Highness.

299

After your labor, your core energy was gravely harmed.

300

Ever since Thirteenth Prince passed away, you haven't been sleeping.

301

You will ruin your health.

302

I can't sleep.

303

When I close my eyes,

304

I could still feel that Yongjing is still in my belly.

305

Your Highness, don't be like this. The Office of Careful Punishment is investigating this.

306

There will be news soon.

307

Your Highness, don't be like this.

308

His Majesty has sent some nutritional products again.

309

Have some of it. It will be good for you.

310

Just leave it there.

311

His Majesty has been very busy lately.

312

There are lots of matters in court.

313

You must take care of your health. His Majesty keeps thinking of you.

314

Come, take a sip.

315

Have you confessed everything?

316

Yes, I did.

317

Fine. You really have guts.

318

It is clearly a crime punishable by death but you did it.

319

I did it to vent my resentment.

320

I pushed Her Highness' stomach

321

to cause her baby to be in a breech position.

322

But I didn't think it would cause the Thirteenth Prince to die.

323

I merely wanted to delay her delivery

324

and let her be in pain for while longer.

325

It was also due to her age and premature delivery.

326

Her body is not suitable for birth.

327

That's why Thirteenth Prince was so weak.

328

But just like what Astronomer Qin said,

329

Her Highness' fate is too strong.

330

She was the one who subdued Thirteenth Prince.

331

Stop spouting nonsense.

332

Let me ask you. You harmed Her Highness.

333

Was that really no one behind this?

334

It was my personal grudge against Her Highness.

335

No one directed me.

336

You caused us to be guilty of the crime with you.

337

You have harmed us.

338

I will bear the responsibility alone for what I did.

339

340

Ruyi.

341

Your Majesty.

342

I provided you with nutritional medicines.

343

Why are you still so weak?

344

How's the case regarding Yongjing?

345

Nanny Tian was very cruel. She killed herself because of her sin.

346

Don't bother yourself with this matter anymore. You must nurse yourself back to health.

347

Why did she do that?

348

Before she died, she said that you treated her harshly.

349

Hence, she has always hated you.

350

When you were in delivery, she remember this

351

and wanted to drag the delivery to let you suffer.

352

In the end, she caused the death of Yongjing.

353

When did I ever treat her harshly?

354

When Jingsi was born and Consort Su just passed away.

355

And there was flooding.

356

At the time, out of compassion,

357

you halved the rewards to those involved in Jingsi's delivery.

358

At the time Tian was short on money.

359

She harbored resentment upon getting her rewards halved.

360

Thus, when Yongjing was being born, she took revenge for her resentment.

361

Your Majesty, I don't believe it.

362

A midwife, just because of a small sum of money, caused the death of our son.

363

There must be something else behind this.

364

Tian deserved to die.

365

but if we pursue this,

366

it's also not entirely unrelated to you.

367

Yongjing was my long awaited auspicious son.

368

In the end, because of the Emperor Star,

369

could not compliment your fate, it became a harm.

370

Your Majesty, are you saying...

371

you think that according to what Astronomer Qin said,

372

I subdued my child?

373

Forget it.

374

When Yongjing is being mentioned,

375

I can' take it. Let's stop talking about this.

376

Ruyi, let's take our time to grieve

377

before we see each other again.

378

Take good care of yourself.

379

Mother.

380

Mother. Younger brother and younger sister are gone

381

but Yongqi is still here. Mother.

382

- There aren't any problems, right?

- None.

383

Eunuch Jinzhong keeps monitoring us.

384

She didn't even dare to say a single word.

385

She just threw it all upon herself.

386

We are using her daughter and son's lives as hostages.

387

Of course, she will be afraid.

388

We have never dealt with Nanny Tian's son

389

but her daughter is still holding a few packs of Imperial Physician Bao's prescription.

390

When you leave the palace to visit your relatives, visit her daughter.

391

I understand.

392

They said that Her Highness subdued her daughter and son and caused their death.

393

Her fate is too strong.

394

The fortune tellers out there said that it's the fate of the lonely star

395

which first subdued her daughter and subsequently, her ruling husband.

396

Isn't that His Majesty?

397

Oh my God. Would His Majesty still bother about the unlucky Empress?

398

Who knows?

399

Empress's aunt, Empress of Jingren Palace was thrown into confinement until death by the late emperor too.

400

No wonder His Majesty favors Consort Ling.

401

Thirteenth Prince is dead.

402

If Consort Ling were to give birth to a son,

403

she will even receive more favors.

404

I have been hearing the gossips out there. They are really too ugly.

405

I can't even bring it up.

406

If I have given birth to Thirteenth Prince without any hitches,

407

everyone would come here and flatter me.

408

They would say I was someone blessed and virtuous.

409

I lost my princess but earned a prince.

410

But now I lost my son, so there will be those talking in the dark.

411

They will say that I'm unlucky person

412

who harmed my own children.

413

When 6th princess was gone, those evil gossipers.

414

they must have gossiped about me like this as well.

415

Throwing stones at someone when they are down, this is what they have always been good at.

416

I must His Majesty to cut off their tongues.

417

Take good care of yourself first.

418

Your clan just set a merit over the Dzungar matter.

419

Don't let your stubborness cause that to faint.

420

But it's clearly an unnecessary thing.

421

Would there be less of such unnecessary things in the palace?

422

A person's suspicious heart is a sharper weapon which can harm someone.

423

Older Sister. Just now, I told Rongpei

424

to take Twelfth Prince to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to greet His Majesty.

425

Even if His Majesty doesn't want to see you,

426

he will see his biological son.

427

Perhaps, when His Majesty sees Twelfth Prince,

428

he will think of you.

429

Greetings, Your Majesty, Consort Ling.

430

Well done.

431

Twelfth Prince is so polite.

432

Consort Ling, you are pregnant. Sit down now.

433

Come, Yongqi. Come and sit next to me.

434

Twelfth Prince keeps missing Your Majesty. He keeps wanting to send his greetings to you.

435

I wasn't unable to dissuade him. I brought him here when it stopped snowing.

436

It's so cold out there. Be careful that you don't freeze yourself.

437

Your mother only has a son like you.

438

Your Majesty, take a look now

439

at how tall Twelfth Prince has grown.

440

He has indeed grew up and he's rather tall.

441

Your Majesty didn't visit me and I miss you too.

442

I miss my younger brother too.

443

12th prince is born a filial son. Quite extraordinary.

444

Yongqi, if you miss me,

445

come more often to Hall of Mental Cultivation to visit me.

446

What if mother miss you too?

447

Does she miss me and want to see me?

448

Li Yu, it just stopped snowing out there and it's frozen too. The road is slippery too.

449

Tell Ling Yunche to escort Yongqi to Yikun Palace.

450

Yes.

451

Your Majesty, I want to go to the Royal Garden to pluck plum blossoms. Mother likes them.

452

Okay then.

453

Li Yu, escort him there carefully.

454

- I'm taking my leave.

- Go now.

455

Come, Twelfth Prince.

456

I'm taking my leave.

457

Twelfth Prince receives training from Her Highness.

458

He could even say such mature words. It's really rare.

459

That child's love for his parents cannot be an act.

460

It's a pity .

461

Thirteenth Prince should have been together with Twelfth Prince.

462

I'm looking forward to when my child is born.

463

If he can catch up with Twelfth Prince and be half as adorable,

464

I will be contented too.

465

Mother likes plum blossoms the best.

466

Every winter, His Majesty would tell someone to deliver plum blossoms to her.

467

But he didn't do it this year.

468

His Majesty will remember in the future.

469

Do you know why Mother likes which color of plum blossoms?

470

Twelfth Prince, let me make a guess.

471

I'm guessing that she likes green plum blossoms.

472

If there are none, red is fine too. Right?

473

You are very smart

474

but I can't reach the plum blossoms.

475

Come, I will carry you to pluck the plum blossoms.

476

Yes, that's the one.

477

Yes, pluck that.

478

It's so pretty.

479

It's raining plum blossoms.

480

After Mistress Yu and Mistress Ying have left,

481

you kept copying Buddhist scriptures non-stop.

482

Have some tea and take a break.

483

For the past few days, you have copied ninety nine volumes of Buddhist scriptures for Thirteenth Prince.

484

If Thirteenth Prince in heaven were to know, he will definitely be comforted.

485

Mother, I'm back.

486

Greetings, Mother.

487

Greetings, Your Highness.

488

Rise.

489

Mother, I personally plucked this plum blossom.

490

Do you like it?

491

Yes, I do.

492

Why are your little hands are so cold? You should put on more clothes before you visit me.

493

Okay.

494

Then you have to display my plum blossoms.

495

Okay.

496

Go now.

497

Twelfth Prince, I will take you to put on more clothes.

498

Sit.

499

I need to go back to serve His Majesty. I won't be taking a seat today.

500

Next time then.

501

I'm taking my leave.

502

Ling Yunche, remain here. I have something to say to you.

503

- Yes.

- I'm leaving first.

504

♫ Being your favorite and being forgotten both are argued in my heart, at a loss to arrive at an explanation. ♫

505

♫ You bear witness to constant changes in my well-being, my sorrows and my joys, the path of my dreams forever cut off

506

♫ You draw my hand to embroider all alone in my loneliness, silken clothes pile up under the moonlight. ♫

507

♫ Telling myself they might be used for warmth, but who would dare? ♫

508

♫ Whose life after life is filled with paired images of love and resentment? ♫

509

♫ One side is beautiful, the other expressionless and silent. ♫

510

♫ From a distance, visits come around without word of your approach, ♫

511

♫ filling time between acts perhaps? ♫

512

♫ Feelings fracture, forgive and wistfully anticipate, forgetting they’re part of the paired image, ♫

513

♫ One day in cold indifference, the next in warm recollection. ♫

514

♫ If only we might perpetually walk in the brilliant sunlight ♫

515

♫ This lifetime has been so dismally overcast. ♫

516

♫ From now on, this lifetime will be... ♫

517

♫ without clouds. ♫
