Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

3

Episode 67

4

I, Ling Yunche, greetings Your Highness the Empress.

5

Get on up.

6

Empress, I've continued the investigation and found out Zhaqi once went to the Wei manor.

7

And he drank and gambled with Consort Ling's younger brother, Zoulu.

8

Consort Ling's sibling?

9

But I've only seen it once and I don't have strong proof.

10

May you be assured.

11

I will continue the investigation and found out Zhaqi and Zoulu's relationship.

12

You don't need to. You've already found out enough for me.

13

You have your work by His Majesty.

14

This matter, I will send someone else to look into it.

15

Thank you, Empress.

16

I shall take my leave.

17

Your Highness, Sir Ling is so capable. Why won't you let him continue?

18

Ling Yunche is the suitable perosn indeed.

19

But this matter involves Wei Yanwan and her brother.

20

Ling Yunche grew up with them.

21

I don't want to trouble him.

22

I understand.

23

You are thorough.

24

Go get Li Yu and Jiang Yubin for me.

25

Mother, slow down.

26

Yanwan, your brother Zoulu is already old enough for marriage.

27

You got to find a match for him from a rich family with an official title.

28

Mother. You should have Zoulu learn some skills too.

29

Don't just let him leisure around with the title of being my brother.

30

Before, he used to gamble and drink with that loser nephew Zhaqi of Consort Yu.

31

Your brother did that for you. It was you --

32

Mother.

33

Alright. I won't speak of it.

34

Now, the one in your belly is the priority.

35

I can't wait.

36

Your stomach is pointy.

37

It's the same as when I was pregnant with Zoulu. It is a prince indeed.

38

Mother. Do you only care for sons?

39

At home, you were like that with my brothers.

40

But now, you want that from me too.

41

Mother is only thinking for your sake.

42

To have a prince will allow you to stand steady.

43

To birth a princess is useless.

44

Even if I birth a princess now,

45

I can still birth a prince later.

46

This child is kicking me.

47

My mistress, you best be careful.

48

Your unlimited glory.

49

It all depends on this one.

50

My little precious grandson.

51

When you come out, your mother might become empress.

52

Mother. Don't talk nonsense.

53

I didn't talk nonsense. I had the most famous fortune teller in the eastgate read the fortune for you.

54

He said you're fated to be empress.

55

What else did he say?

56

I'm sure he costed you quite many silvers.

57

He said,

58

you are blessed but not fated. But empress is fated but no luck.

59

That empress, whether she can finish till the end, who knows.

60

Mother. That is not a good saying. Are you senile?

61

How?

62

As long as you can become empress, who cares about fate or luck?

63

The teller said this.

64

Empress is running out of luck.

65

If you can give it a strong push, you can drag her down.

66

The palace shuns these things the most. How dare you.

67

We're all trusted people here.

68

It's enough. I won't say anymore.

69

Madam, it's getting late. It's dinner time.

70

How about Wanchan and I take these for you.

71

Yes.

- Good.

72

Good.

73

Take them all and be careful.

74

Yanwan, I'm going over first.

75

Mistress, Old Madam's temper isn't anything new.

76

You shouldn't get angry. No need.

77

She's got no filter.

78

And her mind is unruly. To drag down the empress?

79

What is it gets out and Empress will ask for my life.

80

Madam is only thinking of you and your child.

81

Do you think my mother is truly thinking for my baby?

82

She's thinking it can bring her wealth and honor.

83

To have this kind of family. I have no one I can lean on.

84

Mistress, just be at ease.

85

What you can depend on is in your belly.

86

Linked to you by blood.

87

By the way, mistress.

88

Earlier, Eunuch Jin Zhong said Consort Yu won't confess at al.

89

Zhaqi got tortured and can't hold on much longer.

90

Zhaqi wanted silvers and hates Consort Yu so he worked for us.

91

If he revokes?

92

We've got the confession already anyway.

93

Tell Jin Zhong to figure it out.

94

Protect my daughter Yanwan birth a son smoothly.

95

To become empress. Protect my daughter to deliver a son.

96

To become empress. Birth the son.

97

To become empress. Birth the son.

98

To become empress. Birth the son.

99

Become Emprss.

100

Become Empress.

101

What you doing listening?

102

Get away.

103

You saw it clearly?

104

Cursing is a big crime. I don't dare to hide it.

105

You're a wise one. If it's clear she cursed her.

106

You wouldn't be spared either since you serve her.

107

Eunuch Li, save me.

108

Get on up.

109

You knew to come to me so I know to save you.

110

Not only you,

111

but next year I will find a way to let you leave the place.

112

Thank you.

113

Come, tell me. What did the doll look like?

114

Your Majesty. Words from punishment bureau.

115

Zhaqi couldn't bear the torture and died.

116

Forgive me for being wordy. Zhaqi died.

117

But the confession never changed.

118

Consort Yu didn't confess either.

119

We have witness and evidence, both against Consort Yu.

120

Even though Empress trusts Consort Yu, I can't ignore.

121

There is another matter I don't dare not to report you.

122

What is it?

123

The disaster of the last dynasty has reappeared.

124

Your Majesty, there is black magic in and out of palace.

125

Mistress, you must be tired.

126

Yes. My belly is large and I can't seem to walk.

127

Mistress, you're back.

128

Where's mother?

129

Aunt Yu Hu said Empress

130

invited consorts and concubines as well as madams who've had children to have tea.

131

And talk about labor.

132

There is such a thing?

133

Since I became pregnant, my mouth won't go idle.

134

Sitting this sedan to look at the forbidden city.

135

It sure looks different from when I walk on the ground and look.

136

I've never sat in a sedan so I don't know how that feels.

137

Sitting on others' shoulders looking at the red tile roof and the green trims sure are clear.

138

When you walk, you only see the rocks.

139

Forbidden city is a beautiful place. You should look around a lot.

140

Most madams don't get the grace of sitting on a sedan.

141

Of course. It's because my Consort Ling is favored by the emperor.

142

You are blessed to birth a great daughter.

143

Sister, help me up.

144

I sat on the sedan all the way and my back is sore standing suddenly.

145

Madam Wei, Aunt Yu Hu is His Majesty's close attendant.

146

She does not serve others.

147

Oh, sister, I --

148

It's alright.

149

Consort Ling is filial to you and you are blessed.

150

Madam, may you raise your preciou foot. This is Yikun Palace.

151

Alright. My daughter.

152

She is so devoted to me and she does everything I say.

153

Empress is waiting inside for me.

154

My, so pretty.

155

I thought Consort Ling's place was the dragon palace.

156

But the empress's place,

157

it's an oasis indeed.

158

No wonder everyone wants to be the empress.

159

Madam. Prudence.

160

Empress is waiting inside. Come with me.

161

Come. Hurry.

162

So formal. So grand. Much more grand than Consort Ling's.

163

My.

164

Madam Wei, this way.

165

Come with me.

166

Greetings to Your Majesty and Empress.

167

To all mistresses.

- The emperor.

168

My precious son-in-law.

169

Ten thousand peace.

170

Ten thousand peace.

171

Madam, pay your greeting. This is the palace not the common house. You must abide by courtesy.

172

Courtesy.

173

I, of Weiyan, greetings to Emperor and Empress.

174

Ten thousand peace to Your Majesty.

175

Ten thousand peace to Empress.

176

Get on up.

177

You're so passionate. How rare.

178

These two are?

179

This is Concubine Ying.

180

This is Noble Consort Chun.

181

I of Weiyan, greetings to your highnesses.

182

I hear Madam Wei, you've set up a house in the capital.

183

And you're living in the eastgate near Keliyete clan.

184

I imagine you are frequenting each other.

185

I have no dealings with Consort Yu's family.

186

Why did you take me here? I know nothing.

187

Go.

188

Warden.

- Here.

189

Take this mister go roam around.

190

Yes.

- My sister is the emperor's consort.

191

What you doing to me?

192

Don't be scared.

193

These are the 72 punishment weapons we use.

194

Each one is splendid.

195

Come, let me show you.

196

Eunuch Li made a beautiful task outside the palace and we can't fall behind either.

197

By the way, where's that Zoulu captured from outside?

198

Sir Ling took him to the punishment bureau for interrogation.

199

Make way.

200

What are you doing here?

201

By the order of His Majesty to search the side houes of Yongshuo Palace.

202

Imprudent. Side house is where my mother lives. You can't search as you wish.

203

His Majesty isn't searching your chamber out of special mercy.

204

Where is HIs Majesty's decree?

205

If you don't believe me, you can easily go to Yikun Palace and ask His Majesty.

206

His Majesty is in Yikun Palace?

207

Was it Empress's intention to search here?

208

No matter whose intention it is,

209

Consort Ling, preserve yourself and don't disturb your fetus.

210

Go.

211

Fine. Search then.

212

I'll see what you can search.

213

Search thoroughly for me.

214

This item. Have you seen it before?

215

What doll is this? So ugly. I've never seen it.

216

Such an ugly doll and someone thought it was most suitable to gift to me.

217

How can that be?

218

The birthdate written on this fabric doll. Year of the dog with the stem of yang, the tenth of the second month, three after rooster.

219

Do you know what that date is?

220

Such an item. I've never seen it.

221

How could I know what date that is.

222

You don't know, then I will tell you what date it is.

223

It's Empress's birth pillars.

224

The doll has a boated belly pinned full by silver needles.

225

It's witch craft performed while Empress was pregnant.

226

This witchery can harm one and also harm one's child.

227

Thirdly it can cause infertility forever.

228

Harming others to die is already heavy crime.

229

But causing infertility forever is to cut off His Majesty's heirs.

230

Such poisonous act. I've never heard of such.

231

Empress's birth pillars. How would I know?

232

I don't know. I really don't.

233

There are four fabric dolls. Buried in four corners, north, south, east and west of Wei manor.

234

These fabric dolls were found after His Majesty sent men to search your manor.

235

Wei manor?

236

Couldn't be. These items are supposed to be hidden close to the body.

237

How could it be in the manor --

238

Is that so?

239

Eunuch Jin Zhong, where are you headed?

240

His Majesty has orders to not allow anyone in or out.

241

I understand. I was checking what hour we're at.

242

So I can bring a snack for His Majesty.

243

His Majesty hasn't given the word so we should wait. What say you?

244

Yes. Naturally.

245

Naturally.

246

You all listen.

247

Without His Majesty's order, no one is allowed in or out.

248

Yes.

249

I don't know how I've offended you to be cursed by your as such.

250

My son did not get to see the light of the day. What crime does he have?

251

Madam Wei must kill His Majesty's heir to find happiness?

252

Madam said you didn't know Empress's birthdate.

253

But this year's birthday celebration for Empress.

254

You sent the gift through Consort Ling and it's still in the storage.

255

Perhaps the celebration gift is a fake?

256

Your black magic curse is the truth?

257

I am innocent. May your majesty be sage.

258

Zhaqi went to your manor to discuss with you how to frame Consort Yu.

259

He saw you make the fabric doll himself.

260

You put in the silver pins and buried them in the corners of your manor to curse Empress and Prince.

261

Do you mean he wronged you?

262

That despicable Zhaqi. He leeched off of me.

263

But he's full of nonsense. When did I pin the doll and hide it?

264

I could never be so bold.

265

Your Majesty, this Zhaqi was jealous my daughter was favored.

266

He wanted to seek justice for her aunt, Consort Yu, so he framed me.

267

Madam Wei, before, you said you had no business dealings with Keliyete.

268

But how did Zhaqi go to your manor to leech off of you?

269

Empress only asked if you had dealings with Keliyete.

270

You didn't even think about it and said you had no dealing with Consort Yu.

271

It shows the Keliyete you know is only the maiden home of Consort Yu.

272

Your words don't add up and you still insist you don't know Zhaqi?

273

Your Majesty. That Zhaqi is already dead.

274

But his words are framing me only.

275

What black magic doll? What framing Consort Yu? I don't know.

276

Zhaqi helped his aunt kill 13th prince through bribery of Nanny Tian.

277

Zhaqi already confessed he discussed it with you.

278

Noble Consort Chun, that Zhaqi is a loser who gambles and drinks so you can't trust his words.

279

Cursing the imperial family is a grave crime.

280

Your Majesty, I swear to the gods.

281

I've never harmed Empress, or Consort Yu, or 13th prince.

282

Your Majesty, the doll came from the manor. No one can frame them.

283

Zhaqi went in and out of Wei manor and there are witnesses.

284

And the golds and jewels found in Wei manor were mostly from the palace.

285

Though Consort Ling is here in the palace in person, she's keeping close contact with her family.

286

It seems she can't escape the fact that she's also involved.

287

Your Majesty, I pity the parents of the world.

288

Madam Wei has no resentment against Empress or Consort Yu.

289

It is all for Consort Ling's sake.

290

If one can say Consort Ling is clear, I wouldn't believe it.

291

Search for me. Search in detail.

292

Hurry.

293

Sister, what's happening?

294

Pour all the things out.

295

Hurry.

296

I don't know either.

297

Mistress, that's a cursing doll. It's a crime punishable by death.

298

Shut your mouth.

299

Your mother dares to perform black magic with cursing doll in the palace. She doesn't want to live.

300

No. My mother wouldn't be so foolish.

301

Eunuch Li already found four in the Wei manor.

302

To dare to curse the empress is surely seeking to die.

303

Go.

304

No, I need to go see His Majesty.

305

Go see His Majesty. Go.

306

Your Majesty, I sent Ling Yunche to bring Zoulu to the palace to interrogate.

307

I think the results should be out soon.

308

Zoulu?

309

Your Majesty, Zoulu is young and ignorant. He can't bear to be startled.

310

He might say nonsense to dirty your ears.

311

Nonsense is still talk. I want to hear what he can say.

312

Your Majesty. Your Majesty.

313

Your Majesty, Sir Ling is here.

314

Have him come in.

315

Yes.

316

Your humble servant Ling Yunche greeting Your Majesty, Empress, and Mistresses.

317

Speak with urgency.

318

Yes.

319

Your Majesty, this is Zoulu's confession. May you read it.

320

Witchery doll ...

321

What ridiculous drawing.

322

Your Majesty. Zoulu isn't a studied man and he doesn't recognize many words.

323

So he's lacking in any formal writing skills and could only put together a gist.

324

Ling Yunche. You tortured Zoulu, didn't you?

325

Ling Yunche, you scum.

326

Madam Wei, you must not be discourteous.

327

Your Majesty, Zoulu, as soon as he saw the torturing device, he became so scared he urinated on himself and confessed all.

328

I asked him a few questions and the incident with the cursing doll is a female genre that he doesn't know indeed.

329

But he drank and gambled with Zhaqi and heard Zhaqi air out discontent regarding Consort Yu.

330

After they finished drinking, they also said they would kill Tian Jun.

331

All these were told in details. I believe he was truthful.

332

I told Zoulu already about hanging out with Zhaqi.

333

To not befriend such dogs.

334

But that's not a crime.

335

Madam, Zoulu gave the silver notes from Consort Ling to Zhaqi.

336

And instructed Zhaqi two things. First, for Zhaqi to deposit the notes

337

in the bank to save it there.

338

Second, if anyone asks about the source of the notes,

339

to say it was from Consort Yu.

340

Do you still remember this?

341

So what if I di?

342

Can't be that Consort Yu is giving her own nephew money.

343

But it needs to go through Consort Ling and you first?

344

The whole thing was all done by you and Consort Ling to frame Consort Yu in the first place.

345

Of course not.

346

You say not, but Zoulu says yes.

347

I suppose Zoulu isn't trustworthy.

348

Why don't we use torture on Zoulu.

349

Your Majesty. Zoulu is innocent. He knows nothing.

350

Even if he's not the mastermind, he's an accessory.

351

And he also has the crime of hiding the truth. He cannot be forgiven.

352

Your Majesty, Eunuch Jinbao is here.

353

Your Majesty, this came from Madam Wei's residence.

354

From the side dwelling of Yongshuo Palace, under Buddha shrine.

355

Careful.

356

Hurry.

357

Hurry. Hurry.

358

Your Majesty, this is the same as the one in Wei manor.

359

So many pins. How much do you hate Empress?

360

Weiyan. What more do you have to say?

361

Your Majesty, the four in my manor wasn't done by me.

362

Madam Wei. I really didn't do it. Your Majesty.

363

Hurry.

364

Lower the sedan.

365

Slow.

366

Move aside for me.

367

Move.

368

Move. His Majesty is waiting inside.

369

Jin Zhong.

- Watch your baby.

370

My mother.

371

Where's my mother?

372

Your madam won't bear much longer.

373

Your brother already confessed that you and Madam took bank notes to Zhaqi to frame Consort Yu.

374

Then.

375

I knew he wasn't trustworthy but mother insisted.

376

At least he doesn't know much.

377

Madam is still inside. She can't bear the startling.

378

His Majesty and Empress continues to investigate and something will be coughed up.

379

You must clear yourself first.

380

Then. What do I do?

381

Don't worry about her. Just give up on her and preserve yourself.

382

Preserve myself?

383

But that's not just someone.

384

That's my mother and brother.

385

You regard them as relatives but they regard you as a money tree.

386

You go in now.

387

Remember. Insist you're innnocent.

388

Have His Majesty pity your baby.

389

You don't want to be ended along with them, right?

390

Alright.

391

Mother.

392

Mother.

- Consort Ling, slow. Watch your fetus.

393

Mother.

394

Consort Ling.

395

Mother.

396

Why did you do such an unsightly thing behind me?

397

Mother.

398

You killed Empress's child.

- Yanwan, you --

399

Are you senile?

400

If you do that, you instigate me and you ruin Zoulu.

401

Mother. Zoulu is still young.

402

His Majesty and Empress are both here.

403

If you did something, then just confess.

404

Mistress, don't hurt your fetus. You've got the royal heir.

405

Mother. Think of Zoulu, and don't be delusional anymore.

406

Mother.

407

Your Majesty, I was delusional. I did it.

408

What did you do?

409

This was all my doing.

410

You are sage and I can't deny it.

411

But this matter is not linked to Zoulu or Consort Ling.

412

Consort Ling is pregnant and she is unaware of all things I did.

413

Zoulu is also innocent. He's a foolish child.

414

He knows nothing and he only listens to me.

415

I have no hate with you. Why did you do that?

416

If it's Consort Ling, then she'd be suspicious of fighting for favor.

417

Consort Ling is fighting for favor? With what?

418

She is born lame.

419

Or else she wouldn't need me to worry for her.

420

We are born humble but don't let them belittle you.

421

And cheapen you and bully you.

422

You lost favor many times. It must be Empress's doing.

423

You soft fool.

424

You can bear it but I can't.

425

Pompous. Consort Ling's winning or losing of favor has nothing to do with Empress or 13th prince.

426

You are cunning but you are dragging others down?

427

Consort Yu was framed by you too.

428

I don't believe you have the power to collude with both in and outside the palace.

429

Your Majesty, I will shoulder the blame for my own act.

430

Zhaqi was instructed by me.

431

Consort Yu, I framed her.

432

Empress and her child in the belly, I bribed Nanny Tian to do it.

433

These were all done by me and I am content to pay for it.

434

However, Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with my son Zoulu.

435

And nothing to do with Consort Ling.

436

Your Majesty.

437

Mother.

438

Mother.

439

One who disillusions the palace must be punished severely.

440

Weiyan killed royal heir.

441

Drag her down immediately and grant her wine of poison.

442

Your Majesty, spare her.

443

Your Majesty.

444

Yanwan.

445

Yanwan.

446

Mother.

447

Blood.

448

Your Majesty, blood.

449

Mistress.

450

Your Majesty, Consort Ling's fetus has been disturbed. She is in labor.

451

Consort Ling is about to give birth. Birth the child first and then continue the investigation.

452

Your Majesty, our son.

453

Consort Ling, if you are feeling guilty and afraid,

454

and can't give birth to the baby, I won't spare you.

455

I'm falsely accused.

456

Take Consort Ling away.

457

Mistress, take care.

458

Imperial Physician has gone to fetch the midwife. They will be here soon.

459

Wang Chan, where is Imperial Physician Bao?

460

We have already relayed the message.

461

Go and hasten them now.

462

I'm going.

463

Mistress, be careful.

464

Mistress.

465

Arrange for the sedan now.

466

Mistress. If you give birth to a son, you will be able to turn your opportunity around.

467

Quick, take the sedan back to the palace.

468

Hang in there, Mistress. Quick.

469

Hurry up.

470

Mistress, hang in there.

471

Mistress, hang in there.

472

Your Majesty, I'm going to the Office of Careful Punishment to receive Consort Yu.

473

Consort Yu has suffered endlessly.

474

The Empress should welcome her to stop the rumors.

475

Yes.

476

Mistress.

477

Mistress, hang in there.

478

- Mistress.

- Yanwan.

- Mother.

479

Yanwan.

480

Yanwan.

481

Eunuch Jinzhong, based on our friendship,

482

let me say a few words to her.

483

I'm begging you.

484

Fine but you must be quick.

485

Or else, we will lose our heads.

486

Let her say her farewell. She's rather pitiful.

487

Okay, let her go.

488

Yanwan.

489

Yanwan.

490

I'm sorry. I couldn't protect you.

491

For your own sake, you can cast away your own mother.

492

I already knew earlier that I wouldn't be able to rely on you.

493

Zuo Lv is the only male offspring in our family.

494

You must remember this. No matter what, you must protect Zuo Lv.

495

Protect him just like how you protect the baby in your belly.

496

Mother, I promise you.

497

I won't let you die in vain

498

but I need to protect myself first.

499

You were stupid. I was stupid.

500

Mother.

501

I can see clearly now.

502

When using tactics, it's better to focus only on one person.

503

Her Highness?

504

Yes. What's the big deal of getting rid of her child?

505

She's still the Empress. Why don't we destroy her?

506

You must seize her position and make her feel that life is not better than death.

507

Mistress Ling, we can't delay any further.

508

You should let us keep our heads.

509

Madam, we can't wait anymore.

510

Yanwan.

511

This is what I can only do for you.

512

Madam.

513

- Mother.

- Yanwan.

514

Remember what I said.

515

- Mistress.

- Yanwan.

516

He's here.

517

Imperial Physician Bao is here.

518

Mistress, Imperial Physician Bao is here.

519

Quick, get on the sedan.

520

Mistress, you must hang in there.

521

Hurry up.

522

Mistress. Mistress.

523

I'm here.

524

Mistress.

525

Mistress, you can leave now.

526

Her Highness is waiting outside for you.

527

I knew it. I knew it.

528

Older Sister believed me.

529

Let's go.

530

[ Punishment Room ]

531

[ Office of Careful Punishment ]

532

Just and Clear

533

Older Sister.

534

Let's go.

535

Older Sister, it must have been difficult for you for the past few days too.

536

Casting out a fishing net to fish is better than being someone else's fish.

537

I heard from Yexin that it seemed to be about black magic.

538

Yongshuo Palace using black magic is true. But that was only just the primer.

539

They calculated so much against you and me. It's quite complicated.

540

It makes one despair just thinking of it.

541

It's just that she drove your son to death.

542

And that's why she paid her mother's life. It's not a fair deal.

543

Hearing the conversation between Consort Ling and her mother,

544

I keep feeling that her mother was not the only one.

545

Consort Ling is definitely not innocent.

546

Consort Ling is very cruel. She really even used her mother's life.

547

We need to investigate this further or we will feel wronged for Yongqi.

548

Dear Buddha, I'm begging you.

549

Please open your eyes and save Consort Ling.

550

Let her have a safe delivery. I'm begging you.

551

I'm begging you.

552

Eunuch Jingzhong.

553

How is it?

554

She still can't give birth.

555

Old Madam suddenly died. It's a big blow to Mistress.

556

It will be difficult for this fetus.

557

It's tough but it will be fine later.

558

Later? Who still dares to hope about later?

559

If Mistress can give birth to a son, it already considered not bad if she can protect herself.

560

If she can give birth to a son, we can stage a comeback.

561

Go in now. I'm guarding here to provide news to His Majesty.

562

Take good care of Mistress.

563

Consort Ling, you must give birth without any hitches.

564

Buddha, help me.

565

His Majesty ordered that the corpse of Madam Weiyang be delivered to their family.

566

What about Zuo Lv?

567

He was dispatched to the border garrison as a guard. He can only return on future occasion of possible grace.

568

Yexin.

569

Mistress.

570

Has Consort Ling given birth?

571

It's her firstborn and not going too smoothly.

572

From the sound of it, she hasn't given birth yet, right?

573

Consort Ling, I'm here to make a report.

574

Consort Ling! Consort Ling!

575

Older Sister Yexin, what are you doing here?

576

- Consort Ling.

- Older Sister Yexin, you can't go in.

577

You are wrong. This delivery room reeks of blood.

578

I can go in but you can't.

579

Wait here.

580

No, Older Sister Yexin, you really can't go in.

581

Consort Ling.

582

Change the water. Use more strength. Quick.

583

Consort Ling, I'm here to greet you.

584

Consort Ling, I'm here to make a report.

585

Madam Wei is already dead. Zuo Lv has been banished to the borders as a guard.

586

It's really very pitiful. Your dear mother

587

died without being sent off.

588

She's lying here alone so miserably.

589

Moreover, we still don't know if Zuo Lv can still live.

590

- What nonsense are you shouting?

- Consort Ling, did you hear that?

591

Get lost now!

592

I'm taking my leave now.

593

Take your time to give birth.

594

Why are you still standing here? Kick her out.

595

Take your time to give birth.

596

Mistress.

597

You are out. Please leave now.

598

Eunuch Jinzhong, you are still waiting here.

599

Take your time to wait.

600

She hasn't been able to give birth to this firstborn.

601

I'm leaving now.

602

My Lady.

- Consort Ling.

603

Quick.

604

Quick.

605

My Lady, breathe in again.

606

Eunuch Jinzhong, you have waited a long time. Do you want to take a break?

607

You can drink some tea too.

608

- Eunuch Jinzhong.

- Go over there.

609

Hang in there, My Lady.

610

It's coming up soon.

611

- She has given birth.

- She has given birth?

612

She has given birth.

613

We have hopes for our future now.

614

Midwife, is it a boy?

615

Is it a boy?

616

I'm dead tired.

617

I was busy for the whole day and night. Her Lady bled a lot.

618

In the end, it was still a princess.

619

Princess?

620

A princess is good too.

621

It's good that she safe and sound. Has Her Lady stopped bleeding?

622

It can be considered too but she harmed her body.

623

How did she do that?

624

Consort Ling bled profusely when she was giving birth.

625

Her womb was damaged. I fear that she must not be pregnant for two years.

626

Or else, the forced delivery will make her baby weak. It will be hard to protect it.

627

Let's not care about the two years for now.

628

Let's just deal with now first.

629

Midwife, go in now. It has been tough for you.

630

Take good care of Consort Ling.

631

Princess?

632

A princess is good too.

633

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

634

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

635

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

636

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

637

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

638

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

639

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

640

♫ filling time between acts perhaps? ♫

641

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

642

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

643

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

644

♫ This lifetime has been so dismally overcast. ♫

645

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

646

♫ without clouds. ♫
