My sister only looks like the first queen
I am still convinced of this position
I'm afraid it's uninsured
It's your turn
Don't hurry in
See Concubine Empress
Empress
brought
You three
Still not quick to put the good clothes
present it
He was tortured to death by this vicious concubine Ling
Show the Empress
drag it down
Staff
Empress spare life
Zhang Shangfu spare his life
I let you
Management Shang Yi Bureau
with a decent dress
Can't get it out
Please have a look
I'm going to put them
Bold play maiden
Dare to present
Queen's Gifts
Is to want to trap the imperial concubine empress
Is it unjust?
Come on
Will this bold cheap maid
Drag out the staff
Slow down
Say
One by one dragged into hell
Why embroider?
This suit
Empress's peerless grace
Pet Crown Six Palace
He should be the Lord of the Six Palaces
The handmaiden pondered
Only this
Gold and silver silk luan bird facing phoenix suit
Only worthy
The noble status of the empress
Concubine Ling is uncertain
Bitch Maiden
For the sacrificial ceremony
In Shangyi Bureau
Killed more than a dozen embroidered women one after another
No re-election
Who allowed you to speculate
the master's thoughts
Enough
It's already ugly enough
If you keep hitting it
it's really going to get dirty
my eyes
Take it
Return to the palace
Yes
Respectfully send off the Noble Consort
You dog
still have some sense
Stay back
My attire
is all your responsibility
Thank you Noble Consort
Learn well
Yes
Sister
Three years
I disguised myself to enter the palace
finally got the chance
to drag those who harmed you
one by one
into hell
Long time no see sister
I wonder
if my rough embroidery
she would despise
Once this task is over
I can reunite with Xiuer
be together again
S
It's that smiling face again
You
bold and audacious servant
dare to ruin
my clothes
Noble Consort
It wasn't me
this robe was Zhang
Bold
ruining the Noble Consort's clothes
dare to argue
Han Shangfu
This month's term ends and leaves the palace
the position of Shangfu
will be replaced by you
Qianfang
Don't let me down
Thank you Your Highness
No
Zhang Zhangfu
Her Highness has appointed me as the Shangfu
Zhang Shangfu
Today I will
complete my term and leave the palace
Please
I have a sister at home
waiting for me
It's all because
you have a face
that's so annoying
And these hands
can't even do embroidery
shouldn't be kept
It's already the hour of You
Why hasn't my sister come out yet
Sister
The embroiderers who completed their term
have all left the palace
You are Ruyi's sister
Xiuer
Yes
It's me
Do you know my sister
Xiuer
Your sister ruined
Consort Ling's clothes
and was tortured to death by Zhang Zhangfu
to death
What
Just because of a piece of clothing
my sister is gone
Impossible
You must be lying to me
I want to enter the palace
to find my sister
Who is there
Trespassing the palace gate
is a capital crime
Sorry
Brother guards
We will leave now
I won't go
My sister must
still be inside
She promised me
to stay with me for the New Year
I'm not leaving
Xiuer
I saw it with my own eyes
Your sister was thrown into
the mass grave
In the palace
people like us
are as insignificant as ants
Your sister's greatest wish
was for you to live well
If you die
who will bury her
It's impossible
Sister
Where are you
Sister
When sister leaves the palace
Xiuer will be a grown woman
From now on this plum blossom pouch
will be our sisters'
token of recognition
Sister
Sister sister
How could they be so cruel
Why
Sister rest assured
I will make them
pay in blood
Sister rest assured
I will make them
pay in blood
Chou Nu
Don't think
that pleasing Consort Ling
will let you strut around
in the Clothing Bureau
I didn't
How dare you argue
How could the Consort use the phoenix pattern
You sweet-talk
and flatter
I'm telling you
in the Clothing Bureau
no one can stand above me
I didn't know
that in Zhang Shangfu's eyes
I am unworthy of the phoenix
Consort
Please calm down
The handmaiden didn't mean that
It's all my fault
Too kind
Accustomed to you
These cheap maidservants
No respect and inferiority
How dare you take these scraps
to fool me
How is the velvet yarn
Come on
Drag me out
Staff
Handmaiden wronged ah
Empress
Fabric used
It's all Mammy Chen
delivered
The handmaiden dare not move
You bitch
You dare to bite me
The emperor royal gift
Moonlight Yarn and Fleece Yarn
There are days and places
How could I get it wrong
I see
It must be you
changed the cloth secretly
drag it down
Empress
Someone wants to hurt you
Stealing cloth change
Intended to seize power
Slow down
Empress
The Emperor loves you
Let you take charge of the Six Palaces
But someone
Stealing cloth change
But
Deliberately let the emperor
Question your ability
Unbridled
How to prove
Handmaiden
Although I have not seen the moonlight yarn
But know
It's priceless
If you change it secretly
Will be converted into money
Handmaiden please search the palace
Prove my innocence
Alright
Since we're going to search
the entire Shangyi Bureau top to bottom
Shangyi Bureau
everything must be handed over to this palace
Search thoroughly
This palace is about to see
who exactly has the audacity
to cause trouble right under
this palace's nose
Your Highness
I found moonlight gauze
and a box of jewels
in Chief Zhang's room
It’s you
You were trying to frame me
Your Highness
She volunteered for the search herself;
she must have
planned all of this in advance
Her doing this
is to step on me and rise to power
Your Highness
Your Highness please understand
Chief Zhang
today’s search of the palace
was a spontaneous decision
This servant is just a humble embroidery maid;
how could I possibly influence the outcome?
I beg Your Highness to judge clearly
Enough
Chief Zhang
hoarding fabric
the evidence is clear
Your Highness
this servant knows her mistake
For a moment
greed clouded my judgment
so I stole your moonlight gauze
Your Highness
please consider all the hard work
I’ve done for you
serving you day and night
Please forgive me this once
The death penalty can be spared
but punishment is unavoidable
This palace sentences you
to the Cautious Punishment Department
for some serious reflection
Your Majesty
There's also a letter here
What letter
13
It's from Zhang Shangfu
Written to her niece
Asking her to make clothes out of the moonlight gauze
To wear
And take the opportunity
At the sacrificial ceremony
To seduce His Majesty
How outrageous
How dare you let your niece
Seduce His Majesty
Attempting to replace
My position
I dare not
Please calm down Your Majesty
Guards
Drag this lowly maid
Out of here
And execute her cruelly
Fu
You
You shall oversee the execution for me
Your servant
Will not fail Your Majesty's trust
What are you all standing around for
Do you want her lowly blood
To stain Her Majesty's eyes
Your Majesty
Please spare my life
Since you chose
To be my dog
Then be a dog
That knows its place
Otherwise
I can elevate you
And I can also
Make you die without a burial place
I understand Your Majesty
You wretch
It was you who deliberately used the moonlight gauze
To lure Her Majesty here to harm me
It seems you're not completely foolish
Your Majesty
There's another letter here
Sister Xiuer
Zhang Shangfu
And her niece outside the palace
Close connection
Must be intentional
Arrange her to enter the palace
Hard work
This silver
Take it
I heard your mother is sick
Sister Xiuer
You are my real sister
The newly tributed moonlight gauze
Truly dazzling
Linglong wearing it
Will surely catch the Emperor's eye
Your death is near
In this deep palace
Lurking for three years
I ask for nothing else
Only wish to gather the light of sparks
To burn all of you
Who killed my sister
Your sister
Gu Ruyi
You still remember my sister
You are Gu Ruyi's sister
That's right
Back then for your own selfishness
You tortured my sister
To death
I want you to pay back in kind
An eye for an eye
It's not my business
The one who executed your sister
Was Consort Ling
It has nothing to do with me
I won't let any of them go
Those who killed my sister
And you
Are the first
Sister Xiuer
Just leave her to me
Let her fully experience
Her last moments
In this world
Gu Lingxiu
You will die a terrible death
How dare you bully Sister Xiuer
Gu Lingxiu
Even if I become a ghost
I won't let you off
Gu Lingxiu
I won't let you off even if I become a ghost
Sister
Did you suffer this much that day too
I'll make them suffer a thousand times more
Ten thousand times more
Your craftsmanship is truly excellent
Her Majesty loves wearing
The luxurious clothes you weave
That old fox Prime Minister Lin
Just to please his daughter
Actually found the Fuguang Pearl
That the late Empress loved the most
Your Majesty please calm your anger
Getting angry over such people
It's not worth it
That bitch Consort Rong
Wants to use such
Underhanded methods
To steal the spotlight
At the sacrificial ceremony
Wishful thinking
Your Majesty rest assured
I've already had Gu Lingxiu
Re-embroider the auspicious robe
Guaranteed
On the day of the sacrificial ceremony
Your Majesty will
Outshine everyone
Your servant pays respects to the Noble Consort
Hurry up
Show the clothes
To Her Majesty
Yes
Your Majesty
Your servant has slightly modified
This phoenix robe
At first glance it resembles a peacock
But in reality it's a phoenix
This not only
Avoids His Majesty's taboos
But also ensures
That Your Majesty will
Shine brightly at the ceremony
Leave the clothes here
You may go now
Yes
Noble Consort Ling
This auspicious robe
Will be your death warrant
Long live the Emperor long live the Emperor long live the Emperor
All ministers rise
What's going on
Why is it so itchy
Today
Big
I want you to
In front of all the ministers
Lose face first then lose your life
This Consort Ling
At the grand ceremony
Acting like this
Where is the demeanor of the mistress of the six palaces
No posture at all
It's simply outrageous
The dignity of the royal family
Your Majesty
This is the royal sacrificial ceremony
Consort Ling is in charge of the harem
She should be
The model of the harem
Now
She has lost her composure in front of the palace
Really
It's a disgrace to the royal family
What are you things
How dare you criticize me
Shut up
Losing composure in front of the palace
Acting without propriety
What kind of behavior is this
I don't know why
I'm unbearably itchy all over
S
It's noon
Sister
You are in heaven
You must watch carefully
How she loses everything
What is the reason for this ministers
Your Majesty
Although Consort Ling
Is in charge of the harem
She is not the queen of the country
At this time
She is wearing the queen's auspicious clothes
It's really disrespectful
You old fool
What nonsense are you talking about
This auspicious robe of mine
It's clearly a peacock
How is that possible
Consort Ling
Take a closer look
What's embroidered on your auspicious robe
It's indeed a phoenix
How is that possible
I just
When I was changing
It was clearly a peacock
How is this possible
It's that embroiderer
Take Consort Ling away
Sister
Your great vengeance
Is finally about to be avenged
House arrest
Take back the phoenix seal
The harem will be handed over
To Consort Rong for management
House arrest
Your Majesty
How dare you harm our lady
Seeking death
Guards
Beat them up
We are both servants
Why make things difficult for each other
I am the head
Of this palace
How can you compare yourself
To me
Indeed
The most loyal dog
You
How dare you call me a dog
Beat them to death
I can't die yet
My sister's vengeance is not yet avenged
Take her away
It's her
Matron Chen
Is today's incident
Are you trying to scald me to death
Sister
Anger harms the body
Why ruin your health
Over a servant
Get out of here
I heard the Emperor recently
Zhai Sheng your father
was appointed as the Minister of War
for three days straight
stayed in your palace
Are you not
here to laugh at me
Sister you misunderstood
My family
owes our current glory
all to your care
Of course I dare not
steal the Emperor's favor
But
since the Emperor has come
sister
I dare not turn him away
lest
it benefits Consort Rong
Don't mention her to me
If it weren't for
her and the Prime Minister
chasing after me relentlessly
how would His Majesty
have confined me to my quarters
Lady Ling
the person
has been captured
Wretched maid
how dare you frame me
Speak
was it Consort Rong
who ordered you to do this
Sister
she is in our hands
whether it's true or not
it's all
up to us to decide
As long as you say
today's incident
was ordered by Consort Rong
I will plead with the Noble Consort
to spare your life
At this point
it's death either way
Everyone knows
Consort Rong is kind-hearted
I cannot
frame an innocent person for no reason
You want me to frame Concubine Rong
Dreaming
Today's thing
I did it alone
Has nothing to do with her people
Still dare to mouth hard
If it wasn't for someone to back it up
How dare you be so bold
Calculating this palace
It's just a matter of a few words
you can save your life
Why don't you get along with yourself?
Toast not to eat and punish wine
If so
My palace today
Will take your life
The Emperor arrives
Who allowed you?
The use of lynching
It's this bitch
Deliberately put the first queen's phoenix suit
Take it to my concubine
The victim took over the crime
The crime of body crossing
The first queen is the emperor's scale
Now you're dead
Your Majesty
Even if the Dali Temple is guilty
Also listen to all parties
What's more it's such a great crime
Listen to the client first
How to say
What the imperial concubine said
Can be true
Your Majesty
The handmaiden gave it to the imperial concubine and empress
auspicious clothing
The embroidered one is indeed a peacock
But I don't know
Why in the end?
Will become a husband and wife
Handmaiden wronged ah
You just
Confess clearly
Don't be presumptuous
Is that she will phoenix clothing
Give it to my concubine
Don't be fooled by her
As far as I know
It is indeed from your hand
I advise you
to confess honestly
and you might still keep your whole body
Your Majesty please discern
Your servant has recently
been studying needlework diligently
only to repair
the phoenix gown left by the late queen
but your servant does not know
why this
practice phoenix gown
was exchanged with the peacock ceremonial robe
Your Majesty
she speaks so sincerely
there might be a misunderstanding
let us
send someone to investigate thoroughly
do not wrong this young embroiderer
Fu Heng
I command you
to find out the truth immediately
Yes
Your Majesty
G
Your Majesty
the peacock ceremonial robe has been found
how is this possible
your subject found it
in the room of Matron Chen
this ceremonial robe
you audacious servant
how dare you
guards
N
Your Majesty
your old servant is wronged
I beg for your mercy
still not confessing even to death
take her away
give her fifty heavy strokes
Your Majesty spare my life
Madam
it was not me
please
save me
sister
it must be this old servant
trying to take credit
but ended up making a mess
as things stand
Better to cut ties
To win back the Emperor's favor
Nanny Chen
You took advantage of my trust
And betrayed me
Leading me into disgrace
The Emperor has granted you fifty lashes
Which is already a great mercy
Don't you dare
Cause trouble here
Take her away
Spare me Your Highness
Save me Your Highness
Save me
Though it cost me something
To make Consort Ling
Lose an arm
It was worth it
Today's events
Have wronged you
Always playing the good guy
Don't worry sister
Your Majesty
Framing the Consort
Though not Gu Lingxiu's doing
However
I noticed her
Exceptional embroidery skills
Why not let her
Continue repairing the phoenix robe
To make amends
What do you think
What making amends
This is clearly a trap
Repairing the phoenix robe
Is highly complex
Even the experienced at the Royal Wardrobe
Are at a loss
How can you
Just wait for death
Didn't you say
You studied hard
Desperate to repair the phoenix robe
Why not respond
I'll agree first
At least while I'm ordered
To repair the phoenix robe
They won't dare touch me
The late Empress's phoenix robe
Is a rare treasure
The difficulty of its repair
Hard to imagine
You want to play for the Royal
This mind is certainly commendable
But also to do what you can
Not the kui is Rong Fei
One for me
The humble little embroidered woman speaks
Your Majesty
I am now in charge of the Six Palaces
Responsibility for His Majesty
thoughtful
Right now
already paid the price
I beg your wife
Why don't you give another one?
Small punishment
Let's expose this matter
Rong Fei
Less fake tough here
I see you
Is dissatisfied
The emperor's love for the first queen is heavy
Obstruct everywhere here
Everybody knows
You and the first queen
is a good sister
But she's one step ahead of you
Get the emperor's favor
So you're jealous
alienated from her relationship
The first queen
All have passed away
You even her clothes
Can't hold
This is to see that I can't
To drag Concubine Empress into the water
Your Majesty
The handmaiden has a way to repair the phoenix suit
You still have injuries
Take good care of your body first
plan to do it again
Thank you Empress Rong
Emperor
The handmaiden will tip his ruler to his full strength
If there is a bad pool
To die to apologize
Good
But
I
Give you a month
At that time
I will personally examine
If properly repaired
I
There are many rewards
If there is a bad pool
Never forgive lightly
Go down
Thank Your Majesty for Grace
Handmaiden to retire
Look at that
Little embroidered woman
have such courage
You as a imperial concubine
but indiscriminately
Use of lynchings
It's not royal
Sister
His Majesty is most valued
royal face
And the harem secure
Today's thing
You're really impulsive
Back
Can be good quiet
Grinding temper
This harem
I temporarily
I'll take care of it for you first
Wait for His Majesty to calm down
Natural
Will put my sister back in power
This old woman
How dare you in front of me
swagger
No this Gu Lingxiu
She thought that repairing the phoenix suit
Can't I touch her?
Empress calm down
Fix Phoenix Suit
Can be a shield
But then again
It's not her reminder
Commander Fu
It's so late
What can I do for you
I know your today
Done
Is to avenge your sister
How did you know
Who are you
Trespassing into the wealthy's quarters is a capital offense
Trespassing the palace gates is a capital offense
Sorry officer
We'll leave right away
I'm not leaving
My sister must still be inside
She promised me
She would come home to keep the New Year's Eve with me
I'm not leaving
What do you want
Consort Ling resembles the late empress
She's currently favored by the emperor
And she has the support of the Prince of Zhenbei
Your little tricks
Can't touch her
Are you sent by Consort Ling
To persuade me to give up
She's afraid I'll expose
All the things she's done
And spill everything
She sent you to warn me
Right
I want her dead
I want her to pay for my sister's death
Three years ago
My sister could have left the palace
And reunited with me
But because of a piece of clothing
She was tortured to death
Yet she acted as if nothing happened
Living carefree
Since heaven is unjust
I'll seek justice myself
This is the inner palace
Don't overestimate yourself
What
Already
Losing your temper
Does she want you
To threaten me further
Does she want you
To tarnish my purity
And force me to submit
Such things
I've seen plenty in the palace
Whatever dirty tricks
Just bring them on
I'm not afraid
I just want to and Ling Guifei
Jade and stone burn
You misunderstood
No one sent me
I just don't want
You died in vain
You don't have to belittle yourself so much
There are countless smart people in the palace
The purpose of your wealth
Sooner or later will be exposed
Besides
Some things
It's not as simple as you think
The water in the palace is too deep
You can't fight
This is my secret wound medicine
You have a good recuperate
Today's thing
I won't say it out
It seems
I really misunderstood him
My sister's revenge
I must report
Sister
I miss you so much
Dangdang
send you
it's really beautiful
Come on
A
Sister
Liang Dequan
Can you hear the sound of the flute
Back to the Emperor
It is from the direction of Shangyi Bureau
It's coming
Go
Just to see
Your Majesty
It's from the Shang Yi Bureau
Gu Xiu Nu
It's her
This flute sound
With a wave of sadness
Lingering
Today's thing
She was really wronged
Liang Dequan
Do you ever think
her stubborn look
Just like Lady Wan
Your Majesty is referring to the late Empress
Accompany me
Let's visit Lady Wan's chambers
Yes
Sister Xiuer
Green Bamboo
Aren't you supposed to be at Yikun Palace
What brings you here
Don't worry sister
Everyone is concerned about your injury
Let me help you apply the medicine
Sister Xiuer
This is the medicine sent by Dr Lin
Specially for your wound
It might hurt a bit
Please bear with it
As a commoner
I wish to avenge you
On my own
It seems like a fantasy
But I know a spark can start a fire
And it can spread widely
The palace staff has been oppressed by power
Resentment has built up over time
For three years
I've been gathering these sparks
I never thought I could write
Such a good prescription
This prescription is mine now
I only hope one day
To seek justice for us
With my own hands
Thanks to your cleverness
Thinking to keep the peacock robe
In Mother Chen's room
Just in case
01
Middle
Unfortunately only a beating was given
But
I saw Mother Chen
Secretly cutting paper figures
Cursing Consort Ling
As expected
Consort Ling
Was never a good master
This time
She was abandoned for interests
She must be holding a grudge
Keep watching
Always remind everyone
To prioritize their own safety
This time
We suffered a big loss
I'm afraid she might harm you
I actually hope
She would make a move
That way
We would have a chance
To bring her down
Madam Chen
Your injuries haven't healed yet
And you're already out and about
You must be exhausted
We servants
As long as we have a breath left
Must be at their beck and call
It's the rule
This is the empress's
Coronation phoenix dress
Always kept by the emperor himself
He treasures it greatly
Miss Gu
You must be very careful
If anything
Goes wrong
Even if you had a hundred lives
You couldn't make up for it
Thank you for the reminder Madam
Lingxiu
Will take good care of it
Sister Xiuer
This is the empress's phoenix dress
It's indeed exceptionally magnificent
But it's been eaten by moths
Can it still be repaired
Let's see
It's written by
Red Plum from Li Pin's palace
The phoenix dress's precious pearl is missing
Don't fall into their trap
They know the emperor
Holds the empress in high regard
Not just a missing pearl
Even a loose thread
You would be held accountable
This is really too much
I'll go back to Yi Kun Camp to look for it
Don't
You're just a lowly maid
from the Yi Kun Palace
You don't have access
to such secrets
Doing this
will only raise suspicions
What should we do then
Are we supposed to
just wait for death
We don't know
but someone
definitely knows
Speak
Where is the precious pearl
from the late queen's ceremonial robe
The Clothing Bureau only taught you sewing
not manners
A mere seamstress
dare to be so insolent with me
Watch me teach you a lesson
What's wrong with being a seamstress
Madam Chen
wasn't she just a seamstress too
The more inconspicuous
the more you can see
secrets others can't
and get a hold of what others can't
Look
now your life
is in
the hands of this little seamstress
The Noble Consort
won't believe you
Once she sees this paper figure
she'll recognize your handwriting
Given her ruthlessness
guess
will she have you torn apart by horses
or turn you into a terrifying figure
Don't go
I I
I'll tell
As long as you don't
reveal the paper figure
Speak
In Noble Consort Ling's
dressing table's secret compartment
I've said all I should
Whether you can get it
is no longer my concern
Moreover
Since the last punishment
Consort Ling
hasn't allowed me
to serve her closely anymore
From now on
take care of yourself
Dr Lin
please take care of it
Be sure to stay safe
Your Majesty I pay my respects
What brings you here
It's been quite dry lately
I
have specially prepared
pear and white fungus soup
to moisten Your Majesty's lungs
You're so thoughtful my dear
Your Majesty
I've been reflecting recently
and I feel that day
toward Gu Lingxiu
I was indeed a bit too harsh
I heard
she's been repairing the phoenix robe lately
I plan to go
with Sister Li
to take a look
It's already started
Then I
will accompany you to see
How could she be so kind
It's already so late
Dr Lin
why hasn't he returned yet
Miss Xiu
wasn't found
After I gave Consort Ling
the calming needle
I searched her dressing table thoroughly
there was no trace of the precious pearl
This old nanny Chen
could she be lying to us
No
the evidence of her cursing the Consort
is still with me
she wouldn't lie to me
The Emperor is here
Your servant pays respects to the Emperor
Consort Ling
Consort Li
Rise
I
Heard you have started
Restoring the phoenix robe
If you need anything
Just say it
Yes
If you lack anything be sure to say
Don't let the lack of materials
Delay the restoration of the phoenix robe
Hurry up and show His Majesty
The phoenix robe
How is the restoration going
They went straight for the phoenix robe
Today might not end well
Your Majesty
The jewel on the phoenix robe
How is it missing
What exactly
Is going on
Your Majesty
What else could it be
She must have stolen it
How dare you
Your Majesty
I did not
I was ordered by Your Majesty
To restore the phoenix robe
If the jewel is lost
How can I report back
I think you
Are afraid the robe won't be restored
And will be punished by Your Majesty
So you sold the jewel early
To escape the palace
Your Majesty
In my opinion
Just search her room
And we will know
Your Majesty
This jewel
Was personally chosen by you
For the late Empress
Whether it is lost
Or sold
There must be an explanation
Otherwise my sister
Will not rest in peace
Consort Li
Search carefully with your men
As you command Your Majesty
Consort Li is so eager
She must have come prepared
Matron Chen
I have no choice but to apologize
I can only drag you into this
Tell the truth
Fu Heng requests an audience
Greetings Your Majesty
What is this
It's the precious pearl
He's injured
Reporting to Your Majesty
In this maid's room I found
A large amount of silver notes
You despicable maid
How could you have so much money
And still claim you didn't steal the pearl
Your Majesty trusted you so much
Yet you did such a thing
Stealing and selling the late Empress's belongings
A heinous crime
Guards
Take this deceitful maid
And execute her by dismemberment
Your Majesty Your Majesty
I'm innocent Your Majesty
I didn't steal or sell the pearl
I only took it down for polishing
Please Your Majesty see the truth
Impossible
This must be fake
This is indeed
The pearl I chose for the late Empress
Since the pearl is on you
Why didn't you show it earlier
Replying to Consort Li
I was initially puzzled
Who would go to such lengths
To frame me
But upon further thought
The accuser
Perhaps wasn't targeting me
But rather
Didn't want the late Empress's gown
To be restored
I
Was only curious
Who this person was
But forgot to prove myself
Your Majesty
It wasn't me
If I didn't want the phoenix robe
To be repaired
Why would I go with Sister Li
To the Imperial Tailoring Bureau
To oversee the progress
Exactly Your Majesty
What this embroiderer Gu said
Is utterly absurd
Then I dare to ask
Lady Li
Why would such a large sum of money
Appear in
My room
This is definitely not mine
I also want to know
Since Baozhu is here
Where did these banknotes
Come from
Your Majesty
Large banknotes entering or leaving the bank
Must be recorded
You can send someone to check
Xiao Li
You found the banknotes
Better tell the truth
If there's a single lie
Watch your head
Speak
Why frame her
Your Majesty spare my life
I wanted to be with Xiuer
She refused
I was confused
And wanted to take revenge
You scoundrel
How could you do such a thing
Almost wronged Embroiderer Gu
And implicated me and the Noble Consort
I deserve death
I beg Your Majesty
And Lady Li for forgiveness
Drag him out
I know I was wrong
Lady Li save me
Silence
Get up
Issue the decree
During the repair of the late Empress's phoenix robe
No one
is allowed to disturb the Clothing Bureau
Yes
Focus on repairing the robe
If there are any difficulties
feel free to come to me
Your servant thanks Your Majesty
Consort Li
for poor management
is confined to her quarters for a month
and fined half a year's salary
Your concubine obeys the order
Consort Ling
who has been assisting in managing the six palaces for years
is still so reckless
confusing right and wrong
You have greatly disappointed me
Your servant respectfully sees off Your Majesty
I really underestimated you
When you completely lose
the Emperor's protection
it will be your end
What should we do if it comes
What on earth should we do
How dare you extend your hand
into my palace
Who has been
in my bedchamber today
Replying to Your Highness
it was a person in black
I fought with him
but I didn't see his face
A thief entered my bedchamber
and not a single person
saw his face
You are all useless
Drag them out
and execute them
Your Highness spare our lives
You are also useless
You can't even handle
a small embroiderer
and caused me to lose the Emperor's favor
Your Highness please calm your anger
I beg Your Highness
to give me one more chance
I will surely satisfy Your Highness
For today's matter
thank you
It's nothing
Your hand is injured
Still nothing
Does it hurt
Every time I get hurt
My sister blows on it like this
Blowing makes it stop hurting
Such a strong physique
Is it better now
From now on
Don't risk entering Yikun Palace again
SS
It's too dangerous
Are you worried about me
I just
Don't want to owe you a favor
You've already seen
Consort Ling's cruelty and methods
Opposing her leads to no good end
Give up
Is he really worried about me
Toppling Consort Ling is my business
He shouldn't be innocently involved
Don't think that helping me once
Gives you the right
To meddle in my affairs
My matters
Are none of your concern
From the moment I stepped into the palace
I was destined to live only for revenge
Everything else
I cannot have
Nor can I afford
This phoenix robe is truly beautiful
Sister Xiu's craftsmanship
Is truly divine
Now even Consort Ling and her crew
Can't say anything
I'll go report to the Emperor now
Finally out
She's in your hands
Tonight
She must not appear
Before the Emperor
Yes
Stop
Who are you
This is the late Empress's phoenix robe
Damaging it could mean execution of the nine clans
It's not the robe we want
It's you
See where she's running
There are often guards patrolling ahead
If I run past them I'll be saved
Stop
Let me go
Sister Xiuer it's me
Ah Zhong
How is it you
Consort Li ordered
Us to ambush you
Then he
He
He received a secret order
To silence you
I had no choice
But to knock him out
This is what Lü Zhu prepared for you
Sleeping powder
When the time comes
In front of the Emperor
Say you knocked us out
To escape
And this
Is from Lü Zhu
A pouch she prepared for you
She said
You'd know how to use it
Find a way to take him away first
If he stays
He can only implicate Consort Li
But our target
Is Consort Ling
Alright
Sister Xiuer
Be careful
Since you want to play
Let's play big
Since you want me dead
Let's see who's tougher
I wonder how you'll end today
Wasn't it said
That the repaired phoenix robe
Would be delivered today
Why hasn't it arrived by now
Still not here
Repairing the phoenix robe
Is a complicated process
Perhaps it wasn't repaired
And they're hiding
Shang Yi Bureau Embroidered Female
Gu Lingxiu asked for a meeting
Handmaiden see Emperor
Imperial Concubine and Empress
Empress Li Bin
Didn't you say it was foolproof?
How did she come
Waste
Come up to the emperor
Let me see
Your Majesty
Handmaiden incompetence
Failure to protect the phoenix suit
Please the emperor to reduce the crime
What's going on?
Your Majesty
Handmaiden encounters assassin in Imperial Garden
They cut the phoenix suit
Assassin
The entire palace is heavily guarded
How could there be an assassin?
To make up lies
Also don't make up a decent point
It is
Assassin attacks who is not good
It happened to attack you
Besides
Even if there is an assassin
By you
How can Han escape
Double maiden is used to fan pollen
Stun the Assassin
Rice escaped
Who is so bold
Dare to commit murder in the palace
Those two idiots
I can't even buy a little girl
Your Majesty
This is the assassin
fall down
Please seize the fierce Yu as soon as possible
How to look
so familiar
Handmaiden
recognize the pattern on the purse
Yes
What is it?
Come on say it
Concubine Ling specially customized
Is my custom and how
Just a pattern
Who can't embroider it
Why say it's me
The pouch can be embroidered
But on the pouch
The unique royal fragrance of the Noble Consort
Cannot be faked
You actually
Can't even tolerate
A single piece of Wan Niang's clothing
I didn't
Your Majesty
It was done by me
It has nothing to do with Noble Consort Ling
Because of the jewelry incident last time
I was humiliated
I thought
To give Gu the embroiderer a small lesson
To give Gu the embroiderer
To give Gu the embroiderer a small lesson
I didn't expect it to turn out like this
But I absolutely have no
Disrespect towards the late Empress
I beg Your Majesty to investigate clearly
It was you who ordered it
How could there be
Noble Consort Ling's pouch
The pouch was
Given to me by Noble Consort Ling
I have nothing
Of value on me
So I used it to bribe the guards
This matter
Was indeed done by me alone
It has nothing to do with Noble Consort Ling
Bribing the guards to silence the witnesses
Damaging the late Empress's phoenix robe
A heinous crime
Guards
Take Consort Li
To the cold palace
The cold palace
Your Majesty
Your Majesty I was wrong
I beg Your Majesty
To consider the fact that I
Have served you
Forgive me this once
Take her away
Your Majesty
Help me Your Majesty Your Majesty
Get up
2
Are you hurt
Badly
Just some flesh wounds
Nothing serious
A little seamstress
Has such courage
To fight against thousands
Although you didn't manage to protect
The late Empress's phoenix robe
But this loyalty and bravery
Is truly rare
Attendants
Convey my decree
Appoint
Gu Lingxiu
As the Chief Seamstress
To take charge
Of the Royal Wardrobe Bureau
Thank you Your Majesty
So
Did the Emperor punish Consort Ling
Consort Li took the blame for her
And has been sent to the Cold Palace
She got all the sachets
How could she get away with it
The Emperor is deliberately shielding her
Whose sachets they are
Doesn't matter anymore
They can crush us
Like ants
So easily
But I just want to seek justice
For my sister
Why is it so difficult
Help me arrange
I need to go to the Cold Palace
You lowly maids
How dare you treat me with such disrespect
When Consort Ling rescues me
You'll see what happens
Lowly maid
What are you doing here
Fu
What are you doing here
Of course
I'm here to thank you Your Highness
If it weren't for you making me
Help the late queen mend her phoenix robe
How could there be
My glory today
You dare mock me
I'll tear your mouth apart
You dare resist
Have you ever thought
Why should I die
It's Consort Ling
But in the end
You were punished
Trying to sow discord
I won't fall for your tricks
I really am
Feeling sorry for Minister An
What does it have to do with my father
Speak quickly
You took the blame for Consort Ling
And were sent to the cold palace
Your father
Also for embezzling
Was thrown into the dungeon
Your whole family
Really are Consort Ling's lapdogs
Impossible
This must be your scheme
Believe it or not
If
You were still out last night
144
Maybe
You could have
Pleaded for your father first
But now
It's all too late
Your father
Is about to be exiled to the border
No way
The Prince of Zhenbei
The Prince of Zhenbei will surely help my father
Can't you see
You and your father
Are just their scapegoats
141
Sister Xiuer
Consort Li
Will really defect
And testify against Consort Ling
I heard Minister An
And Consort Li have a deep father-daughter bond
As long as she has humanity
she won't just stand by and do nothing
You know what
the cold palace caught fire last night
it was a big blaze
Wait
the cold palace was short on charcoal
and there was no wind last night
how could it have suddenly caught fire
Someone is trying to harm me
You need to go back to the Yikun Palace now
5
Go
Gu Shangfu
Your Majesty
Sister Li Pin
died so tragically
Please Your Majesty
you must seek justice for her
Greetings Your Majesty
Gu Shangfu has arrived
Your servant greets the Emperor
Greetings to the Noble Consort
Gu Lingxiu
How dare you show your face
I know
you and Sister Li Pin
never got along
but she had already
been punished by Your Majesty to the cold palace
why did you have to finish her off
burning her to death
What
Sister Li Pin was burned to death
This
how is that possible
Still trying to deny it
Yesterday you were the only one
who went to the cold palace
If not you
then who else
Your Highness please understand
yesterday your servant
only went to deliver some snacks
to Sister Li Pin
This
when I left she was fine
As for the cold palace catching fire
I just found out about it
I think you are
You won't shed tears until you see the coffin
Yesterday at the fire scene
an earring related to you was found
How do you explain this
Gu Lingxiu
What else do you have to say
Your Majesty
The earring is indeed mine
but it was lost long ago
I don't know
why it appeared there
It didn't get lost earlier or later
but just at this time
I think you're just making excuses
Your Majesty
Gu Lingxiu is extremely malicious
Keeping her in the harem
will definitely be a disaster
I beg Your Majesty
to execute her immediately
to comfort the spirit of
Lady Li in heaven
Guards
Wait
Consort Ling
Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet
you're so eager
to convict Gu Lingxiu
Do you still have respect for Your Majesty
I absolutely don't mean that
Instead Consort Rong
is protecting Gu Lingxiu everywhere
What exactly
is your relationship
Your Majesty
Yesterday
Gu Lingxiu was just promoted to Chief Attendant
Today she's to be executed immediately
I'm afraid such inconsistency
will make the court officials question
Your Majesty's ability in appointing people
I absolutely don't mean to protect her
That's good then
Gu Lingxiu poisoned Lady Li
Her crime is unforgivable
Your Majesty
I can prove my innocence
This is the blood letter
left by Lady Li before her death
pointing out the real mastermind
And he said
If I were to die
It must be because someone silenced me
Framed the embroiderers
Harmed the palace maids
Such disregard for human life
You wicked woman
What else do you have to say
Your Majesty
I am wronged
You know me
I would never dare
This blood letter is fake
It’s Gu Lingxiu
They are framing me
Your Highness the Consort
How do you explain the dust on your shoe soles
Explain yourself
Your Majesty
Minister An identified in prison
The Prince of Zhenbei is
The mastermind behind the embezzlement
Please Your Majesty stand up for him
And the late Consort Li
Seek justice for them
Consort Ling has harmed the palace consorts
Her crimes are unforgivable
From this day forward
She is to be confined to the cold palace
Never to leave for life
Guards
Take her away
Your Majesty
I am wronged
Your Majesty
Sister
I have finally sought justice for you
You can rest in peace now
Why aren’t you resting yet
Thank you for your help today Your Highness
If you want to thank me
Then make for me
A few more embroidered garments
Your craftsmanship
I quite like it
Yes
Your Highness
Come
Today vengeance has been served
Let me propose a toast to everyone
Cheers
Over these years
You've all worked hard
Dig in
I have some good news to announce
I went to plead with Lady Rong
She saw I was fearless against power
And she granted me a special favor
Allowing me to leave the palace tomorrow
And also
I've proposed to Green Bamboo
Once she leaves the palace
She'll come straight with me
To our home for the wedding
You sly dog
Congratulations congratulations congratulations
Pour the wine
You're leaving the palace tomorrow
I didn't have time to prepare a gift
Here's my favorite hairpin
I give it to you
As a keepsake
Sister Xiu
But
I can't bear to part with you
Silly girl
You must live well
Soon
We'll meet outside the palace
This wine is really good
She's leaving the palace
No no no
You really can't hold your liquor
That's all
Commander Fu
Quick quick quick
Please come in
Sit down quickly
Commander Fu
Today is a great day
You must drink a few more cups
Let me fill it up for you
Come on
Have a drink
Here Commander Fu
I toast to you
It's so late now
Go back to sleep first
Drink less
Good fortune
This is the imperial palace
Stay alert at all times
It's a day of great joy
Don't say such discouraging words
Yesterday was sunny and bright
Why is it raining heavily today
Sister Xiuer
Something bad has happened
Consort Ling has left the cold palace
What's going on
I heard that the Prince of Zhenbei
Surrendered half of his military power
Just to get her out of the cold palace
Now she's just demoted to Consort Ling
Half of his military power
For the position of a consort
Can it really offset her evil deeds
Why do the wicked always escape
Because of their good background
Can they get away with corruption and lawlessness
If you don't take her in
Are you also afraid of her power
Sister Xiuer
Now that Consort Ling is back in the palace
She will definitely cause trouble for you
You'd better make plans early
Where is Lü Zhu
If Consort Ling finds out
That she went to seek help from Consort Rong
She definitely won't let her off
She
She should have already left the palace
Thankfully
Our lady has summoned
Sister Xiuer
Don't worry
It's alright
Carriage
Carriage carriage
My lady
The person has been brought
Seeing me
Unharmed
Coming out of the cold palace
Are you surprised
You lowly servant
With just you
You think you can overthrow me
It's utterly overestimating yourself
I was too naive before
but today
bring them in
I will act on behalf of heaven
Luzhu
how dare you ambush the Empress
you're asking for death
sister
run
don't worry about me
Luzhu
you traitor
I just want to show
everyone in Yikun Palace
what happens
to those who betray me
take her
and execute her on the spot
no
please Your Majesty
no
Your Majesty
please Your Majesty
Your Majesty
it's all my fault
Luzhu has nothing to do with it
I beg you
Your Majesty
now you're scared
too late
no
Your Majesty
I know I was wrong
fine
crawl over here
and I'll let her go
I'll let her go
okay
Luzhu
hold on
Fu
no
Luzhu
Luzhu wake up
Luzhu
what a pity
too late
Luzhu
so frustrating
what bad luck
Drag her out
Feed her to the tigers
No
No not Lüzhu no
Lüzhu
Oh no
Lüzhu
Give Lüzhu back to me
Only by mastering
The supreme power
Can one protect
Those they care about
And seek justice for them
Wan Niang
Your Majesty
Your servant
Has brought your clothes
The emperor's favor is the most fickle
Only guilt
Can firmly grasp the emperor's heart
I will fight to the death with Consort Ling
Even if it means mutual destruction
What a strong physique
Commander Fu
Your Majesty
Your servant
Has brought your clothes
Liang Dequan
Your servant is here
Issue the decree immediately
Gu Lingxiu from the Imperial Wardrobe Bureau
Exceptionally intelligent
Gentle and commendable
Is promoted to Noble Consort
Yes
Wait a moment
Last night
I was reckless
I
Will go personally
Change clothes immediately
Staying out all night
Violates palace rules
Disrupts camp regulations
Beat him for me
Your Highness please calm down
Your servant did not
Intend to violate palace rules
It's just that
Last night
An accident happened
Couldn't get away
What kind of accident
Kept you out all night
Were you trying to climb into the Emperor's bed
Your Highness
I have been in the palace
Always followed the rules
You can't just punish me
Based on mere speculation
In this harem
I am the rule
What are you waiting for
Beat her hard
Your Highness
This wretch has been having an affair
Well
Disgracing the harem
Speak
Who is that man
Your Highness
It's not what you think
Still trying to lie
Beat her hard
If you don't hand over
That person today
I will make sure you die without a whole body
Still not talking
Let's see how long
Your mouth can stay shut
Guards
Your Highness
Stop
What are you doing
Consort Ling
You just got out of the cold palace
And you're already trying to kill
This wretch has been causing chaos in the harem
I am just following palace rules
Wretch
You dare call the Emperor
Down
This woman
Is
A promiscuous person
She even has
Mark of an affair with a man
If you don't believe me look
Your Highness
There is no other man
Please I beg you to let me go
Stop pretending
Enough
I
am the man
you called a wild man
What
Are you okay
Embroidery girl from the Shangyi Bureau
Gu Quanxiu
Gu Lingxiu
Virtuous and kind
Beautiful and intelligent
In recognition of her qualities
She is hereby conferred the title of Consort Hui
And granted residence in Changhua Palace
Your Majesty
Since the founding of our dynasty
No embroidery girl
has ever skipped two ranks
to become a consort
This is against protocol
Since when
do my decisions
require your approval
I dare not
C
Consort Ling
From now on
as consorts of the harem
you must live in harmony
After all in the north
there aren't enough military powers
to save your life
Can't handle it already
Next I will take away
everything you care about
one by one
Madam
Now that you are the head of the four consorts
and have been overshadowed by the one from Yikun Palace
for so long
Now that she has been demoted to consort
you've finally had your revenge
Thanks to the embroidery girl Gu
Next time she delivers clothes
remember to reward her generously
Yes
Madam
The Emperor just conferred
the title of Huipin
to the embroiderer Gu
What
Promoted directly to a concubine
That's fine
With the Emperor's protection for Sister Xiu
I can stop worrying
Just now Consort Ling
was so aggressive
Why didn't you say it was me
I'm just a lowly embroiderer
To receive the Emperor's favor
is already a great blessing
How could I dare to tarnish your reputation
So you left early
and quietly
to avoid making me responsible
Mi
I only wish to
remain as an embroiderer
by your side
Please revoke the title
In the entire harem
only you and Wan Niang
truly care for me
The Emperor's word is final
From today
you are my Huipin
Your Majesty
It's time to discuss state affairs
Your Majesty
State affairs are important
Then I
will come back to accompany you later
Indeed
only by using the Emperor's
deep affection for the late Empress
can one easily capture his heart
Sister Xiu
Red Plum
Weren't you demoted to the laundry
because of Consort Li
It was Commander Fu who brought me here
Lady Huipin
The Emperor ordered me
to bring you a maid
Thank you Commander Fu
For delivering a maid
Why would it trouble Commander Fu
Was it because you were worried about me
that you personally brought the red plum
back
Lady Hui
the red plum
there's no need for formalities between us
in the days you were gone
Green Bamboo
was beaten to death
Sister Green Bamboo
it's all because of those beasts
the Emperor's favor
was not my intention
but such is the world
only by climbing to a high position
can we seek justice for Green Bamboo
and for us
are you willing to help me
my life
was saved by you and Sister Green Bamboo
what do you want me to do
just give the order
good
take this
to the Yikun Palace
yes
after all the Prince of Zhenbei
doesn't have that much military power
to exchange for your life
Your Majesty
you let me out of the cold palace
just because of military power
S
didn't you say
I am most like the late Empress
and you liked my free spirit
how come now
just for dealing with a lowly maid
it has become my fault
My Lady
what is it
speak
the master sent a message
telling you
to behave yourself during this period
and not to anger the Emperor again
why
35
everyone wants me to back down
35
What's that
Fine
Now even a lowly servant dares
To step on my head
Tie up Matron Chen for me
Your Highness
It's done
Matron Chen
Was tortured half to death by Consort Ling
And is now imprisoned
Consort Ling has been having a streak of bad luck lately
Now
It's revealed that Matron Chen
Made paper dolls to curse her
She won't rest until
She's torn her to pieces
Given her ruthlessness
Why didn't she just kill her outright
It seems she's not completely foolish
She knows the Emperor
Is already tired of her
And dares not cause a death
Your Highness
Matron Chen sent a letter saying
She wants to see you
That old hag
How dare she request to see you
What did she say
She said
You'll understand when you see this
3
This is my favorite hairpin
I leave it to you as a keepsake
This is what I gave to Green Bamboo
What else did she say
3
Mid
I must go see her
You can't go
You've just been promoted to a higher rank
There are so many eyes in the palace
Watching you you don't even know
But I can't ignore this
If because I didn't go
Green Bamboo is harmed
How could I live with myself
Don't stop me
How can you go dressed like that
Change into night clothes
I'll go with you
$
Who's there
Something's moving go check it out
Why are you with him
He always makes me feel
Strangely at ease
Over there
They're gone
Right here
You go in
I knew it
Lady Hui would have a way
To see me
You killed Lüzhu
And dare to take her hairpin
Want to see me
Do you think
I wouldn't dare to kill you
Lüzhu
Isn't dead
What did you say
I knew today would come
So that day
When I hit Miss Lüzhu
I used some technique
She's not dead
I hid her
I hid her in the tiger garden
Really
If you don't believe me
You can send someone to check
At this point
I have no reason to lie to you
I'll send someone to check
Speak
You saved Lüzhu
What do you want in return
My lady
I beg you
Save my life
What makes you think
I would help you
My lady
You're a person of deep feelings
And Gu Ruyi's sister
If you help me
I'm willing to work with you
To bring down Consort Ling
You're using my identity
Why should I trust you
I was originally
a servant born in the general's household
For the sake of my husband and child
to free them from servitude
I became
the dowry nanny of Princess Ling
That day
I was severely beaten fifty times
The maids in the house couldn't bear to see it
and secretly told me
that my husband and child
had already been killed
Now
I only wish
to eat her flesh and drink her blood
Fine
I promise you
She cursed Princess Ling
It's a miracle she's still alive
Who can save her
I can't
But someone can
Your Majesty
Your servant
heard from Eunuch Liang
that you love milk cakes the most
So
I made some specially
for you to taste
You're thoughtful Xiuer
These are milk cakes
I put a lot of effort into them
Your Majesty please try them
G
Are they not good
I come from humble origins
These pastries
I had never heard of before
Perhaps the recipe is wrong
But I truly
wanted to make them for Your Majesty
I know your heart
However
these milk cakes
are the specialty
of Nanny Chen from Yikun Palace
Few can replicate
her unique flavor
Then
could we ask Nanny Chen
Teach me your Majesty
93
I know your Majesty
Passing ordinary days
It's almost your birthday
The other sisters
Come from noble families
Each has their own special skills
Only I
93
3
So I
Want to learn how to make
Your favorite pastry
To express my feelings
3
Having this intention
Is enough
If you hurt your hand
I
Would feel heartache
3
I will issue an order
To transfer Madam Chen
To Hua Palace
3
Your Majesty
You are so kind to me
Your Majesty once said
I look the most beautiful when playing the piano
I must find a way
To win back your heart
Madam something bad has happened
Consort Hui has been ordered
To take Madam Chen away
How dare she
To take my people
At the birthday banquet
All the concubines
Will come to wish the Emperor a happy birthday
Princess Guli from the Western Regions
Is no exception
At that time
I will definitely test
That woman Consort Hui
To make her die without a burial place
This old servant
Thanks Madam for saving my life
You're welcome
Between you and me
But we each get what we need
I hope you keep your word
How is Lüzhu
Miss Lüzhu
She's not in mortal danger
But her injuries are severe
It will take some time for her to wake up
Consort Rong has arrived
Why is Consort Rong here
I pay my respects to Consort Rong
We both serve His Majesty
Let's address each other as sisters from now on
Sister you manage the six palaces
It must be very tiring
Today
How do you have time to visit me
You've been promoted to concubine
I've been thinking
What to give you
This morning while organizing the storeroom
I saw this bloodstone bracelet
It suits you very well
Take a look
Do you like it
Sister's things
Are naturally all good
But
It's too precious
I practice Buddhism year-round
This bracelet was just lying there
Like a jewel covered in dust
Only when you wear it
Does it truly shine
8
Then
Thank you sister
His Majesty's birthday is in a few days
Have you prepared a gift
Everything I have
Was bestowed by His Majesty
Honestly
I can't offer anything worthy
His Majesty loves the Lei Cui flower
But the palace climate is too dry
Often when they're sent here
They don't survive
A few days ago
I saw the greenhouse had cultivated one
Perhaps
We could use it as the birthday gift
Fairly decent
That's a great idea
Thank you for the advice sister
It's getting late
I should go and pay my respects to Buddha
Your Majesty
There seems to be something wrong with this bloodstone
What is it
Bloodstone
The color is unusually vivid
It must have been soaked in musk for years
If worn for a long time
It might lead to infertility
Your Majesty
I've seen this bloodstone before
It was brought by Consort Li
For Consort Ling
She even suggested
That she should give it to the other consorts
Saying that women in the harem
Without children
Would have no one
To step over their heads
All the consorts
No wonder all these years
The harem has been barren
Consort Ling is truly venomous
Harming the royal lineage is a grave crime
I will expose her
On the day of the birthday banquet
5
As expected from a princess
From the Western Regions
She jumped right into
The Emperor's heart
Wishing His Majesty eternal life
The music is melodious and pleasant
The dance is free and unrestrained
It caught my eye
Please take your seat
Thank you Your Majesty
Today Princess Guli performed a dance
Consort Rong presented calligraphy
Noble Chang presented a painting
Sister Consort Hui
You are most skilled in needlework
Why don't you
Perform some sewing
For His Majesty
65
Consort Hui also presented to His Majesty
this pot of
extremely hard to cultivate
Lei Chui flowers
Her heartfelt gesture
is no less than the dance and music
My beloved consorts
have all been thoughtful
Come
let us
share a toast
Just by drinking this cup of wine
we can catalyze the musk
Let's see how Consort Ling
will handle the situation today
Princess Guli is vomiting blood
Quick
summon the royal physician
Sister Guli
they only ate the pastries
it must be that the pastries are poisoned
She dares to
poison and frame me at the birthday banquet
Consort Ling
stop talking nonsense
These pastries
although prepared by Consort Hui
she has no grievances with the sisters
why would she harm everyone
From a seamstress
to being promoted to a consort
your schemes are indeed venomous
Consort Hui your schemes are so venomous
you actually poisoned us
I am the princess of the Western Regions
to poison me
is to openly provoke the Western Regions
Consort Hui
Sister Guli
came from the Western Regions for a marriage alliance
if anything happens to her
can you bear the responsibility
I hope Your Majesty severely punishes Consort Hui
to avoid causing conflict between the two countries
Consort Hui has always been kind
she probably wouldn't commit
such a heinous act
Consort Hui
regarding today's incident
what is your explanation
Your Majesty
I’m innocent
Please investigate thoroughly
How dare you deny it
Your Highness
It seems some won’t confess
Without torture
Your Highness
We must demand justice
For the Western Regions
Guards
I pay my respects to Your Majesty
Hurry
Check the pastries
For poison
Yes Your Majesty
Wait for the results
See what you’ll do then
Your Majesty
The pastries are not poisoned
Impossible
How can there be no poison
Because I didn’t poison them
Your Majesty
Consort Ling ordered me
To poison the pastries
And frame Consort Hui
I knew
This is a capital crime
So I didn’t do it
The poison
The poison is here
Please judge wisely
You wretch
How dare you harm me
Your Majesty
There’s no poison in the pastries
Then why
Did the sisters vomit blood
You’re incorrigible
I’ll deal with you later
Continue the investigation
Your Majesty
The ladies vomited blood
Not because of poison
But due to musk
Being activated in their bodies
How could there be musk
In their bodies
I’ve heard
Musk will cause female infertility
Dr Lin
Are you absolutely sure?
This is no small matter
Absolutely certain
And
The musk within the consorts' bodies
has been accumulating for a long time
I'm afraid they won't be able to bear children anymore
Sister
I came here for the peace between our two nations
I never expected
you’d treat me like this
Rest assured
I
will certainly give you all
an explanation
Investigate thoroughly for me
where the poison came from
I want to see
who’s so bold
to plot against the royal heirs
Your Majesty
this old servant knows
where the poison came from
and who did it
Tell me
Who was it?
It was Consort Ling
Years ago
Consort Ling
ordered this old servant
to soak chicken-blood stones in musk
and craft them into accessories
then present them to the consorts of each palace
Wicked maid
How dare you lie!
So those accessories were soaked in musk!
So
You plotted to harm us long ago
You’ve robbed me of becoming a mother!
I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!
It wasn’t me!
I didn’t do it!
Report to His Majesty
These accessories
were indeed soaked in musk
Poisonous woman!
Your Majesty
This was all done by Concubine Li
It has nothing to do with me
The evidence is all here
You still want to shift the blame
Onto a dead person
This is a heinous crime
Guards
Come
Confine Consort Ling to the cold palace
Never to leave
Your Majesty
My father
Has guarded the border for you for many years
Considering he fought for you
To secure the empire
Please spare me
Just this once
Today
I cannot give you any
Chance of survival
Your Majesty
I believe
Consort Ling has realized her mistake
Give her one more
Chance to reform
Bitch
Don’t you dare pretend
Consort Hui
Your Majesty
Consort Hui’s bracelet
Probably contains musk
This bracelet
Was given to me by Consort Ling
I just thought
The bracelet matched
Her perfectly so I passed it on
I didn’t realize
It’s all my fault
No Your Majesty
Your Majesty
Consort Ling
Consort Ling also sent
Bloodstone to the late Empress
You dog how dare you speak
Take this venomous woman to the cold palace
Execute her in three days
Your Majesty
My father is the King of the North
You can’t do this to me
Take her away
You dog of a servant
I told you to harm me
Take him down quickly
Let go
Good and evil will eventually be repaid
It hasn't been found out yet
What is the catalyst
The musk in the concubine's body
It hasn't been found out yet
First quietly take Green Bamboo
To Changhua Palace to recuperate
Yes
I will go in myself
To send off this former noble consort
Are you here to laugh at me
You have today's outcome
It's all your own doing
These
Are all the people you have harmed
I am just here to
Seek justice for them
Justice
What is justice
In this harem
Power is justice
These lowly people
Are just a bunch of ants
I am the noble consort
I decide who dies
And who lives
They are ants
And what about you
You are just a pawn
To consolidate your father's military power
A mere chess piece
What's wrong with being a chess piece
Every woman in this harem
Is a pawn of the imperial power
To control the court officials
And every one of them
Is a tool for the court officials
To express their loyalty to the royal family
Useful ones are kept
Useless ones are discarded
Do you really think
I fought for the love of the seventh prince
I just wanted to
Live like a human being
Before I was discarded
Just like me
Like the late empress
Like Consort Rong
Every woman here
Is just a pawn
And you
You're not even a pawn
You're just a plaything
A whim of the emperor
Do you think killing
Can make you
Live like a human
How ridiculous
Stop deceiving yourself
You're Gu Ruyi's sister
So you've been against me
To avenge Gu Ruyi
You don't even know
Who killed your sister
You're the truly ridiculous one
My sister's death
Was witnessed by Chun Tao
It's undeniable
Still stubborn at death's door
Truly beyond help
Your Highness
Do you think these things
Can make them
Take my life
Give me back my life
Your Highness
Come down and join me
All of you get out
Out
Give me back the lives of my family of three
Your Highness
Give me back my life
Out
Out out
Come down and join me
Give me back the lives of my family of three
Out
It seems the hallucinogenic drug
Given by Dr Lin is working
Finally we can comfort
My sister's spirit in heaven
Your Highness
Xiu'er
Sister Xiu'er was overthinking before
Her heart was exhausted
She just collapsed from exhaustion today
Take good care of her
You're awake
Are you feeling unwell anywhere
I want to leave the palace
I want to take my sister
and go back to the thatched cottage together
Although it's small
it's full of warmth
Are you willing
Your Highness
Green Bamboo is awake
Really
Quickly help me go see her
I know what you want
but I can't give it to you
Green Bamboo
How are you
It's all my fault
Your Highness don't worry
Little Doctor Lin said
she's been unconscious for too long
she'll recover after resting for a few days
Really
Now Consort Ling
has already gotten her retribution
We can live our lives in peace
our own days
In a few days
I'll arrange for you to leave the palace
The one who killed your sister
is not Ling
What did you say
You don't even know
who killed your sister
You're really ridiculous
Who exactly killed my sister
Eunuch Liang why are you here
Consort Hui
The matter of the concubines vomiting blood
is related to you
Please come with me
The Emperor found out about me using medicine
to hasten the poisoning
Your servant greets the Emperor
Sister Consort Rong
At the birthday banquet
making the concubines vomit
was it you
The concubines vomiting blood
It was a gift from Consort Ling
Caused by the bloodstone
It has nothing to do with me
Catalyzed the musk
It was the birthday gift you gave to me
How could it be
The Lei Chui flower is non-toxic and harmless
How could it catalyze the musk
It was recommended by Sister Consort Rong
Your Majesty likes the Lei Chui flower
Everyone in the palace knows that
But I never asked you to use
Fake oleander to impersonate
Oleander
What you sent was oleander
Although it looks similar
To the Lei Chui flower
It is poisonous
All the concubines are vomiting blood because of it
What else do you have to say
Impossible
This flower was picked by me
Personally from the flower room
And that gardener
Told me
This is the Lei Chui flower
I
See you
Won't shed tears until you see the coffin
Let the people from the flower room come in
Your servant greets the Emperor
Tell Consort Hui
What she sent
Your Majesty
It is oleander
When Consort Hui came to the flower room
I already explained
This flower is highly toxic
Should not be placed indoors
She said
She had other uses
I couldn't say much
She is lying
Sister Consort Hui
You are confused
Even if Consort Ling
Used the bloodstone
To harm the concubines
She was wrong
But you discovered this matter
You can sue
But why did you have to use
Such extreme methods
Not only did you almost implicate the innocent
You also nearly sparked
A war between two nations
Consort Rong
Consort Rong has always been peaceful
3
Why did you harm me
I was mistaken
I thought you were kind and generous
I never expected you to be so venomous
Guards
Take Consort Hui
To the cold palace
Keep her under strict watch
Your Majesty
Even if Consort Hui has made mistakes
She vomited blood at the banquet
Her health hasn't recovered
If she goes to the cold palace
She might not survive
She nearly ruined the diplomatic relations between our nations
Her death would be no loss
Guards
Take her away
Your Majesty
The royal family is the most heartless
Just as Consort Ling said
We are mere playthings
I schemed with all my might
Only to find out in the end
I had targeted the wrong person
I thought I could confide in Consort Rong
But she pushed me into the cold palace
I thought
I had captured the Emperor's heart
But in the end
Even getting him to believe me
Was a futile hope
I am so useless
And yet I wanted to avenge my sister
How laughable
How pitiful
My lady
We've come to rescue you
My lady
We've tied this one up
This guy is bound by us
There's half an hour left before the shift change
Hurry up
It's you
Speak
Who put you up to this
What do you mean put me up to this
Your servant
Knows nothing
No one put me up to it
How dare I
In front of His Majesty
Accuse Her Highness
Your servant is telling the truth
Her Highness must be mistaken
Still stubborn
If you don't talk
I'll throw your treasure
Out to the dogs
No
I'll talk
It was my foster father
It was Chief Zhang
He made me do it
Chief Zhang
I have no grudge against him
Why would he want to harm me
Yes
It's because my foster father has always been
Working for a certain powerful figure
0
He always
Passed me notes
Your servant doesn't know
Who it really is
You
Please let me go
Sister Xiu
Who could be behind this
Who could it be
Who could command Chief Zhang
And is at odds with Consort Ling
Consort Rong
Yes
Sister Xiu
Red Plum
Did you think of something
The day we picked the flowers
I saw someone
Leaving through the back door
The silhouette looked like Commander Fu
Are you saying
Commander Fu
is the one who delivered the message for Consort Rong
Fu Heng
how could he be involved
This is a special healing ointment
Take good care of your wound
About today's incident
I won't say a word
Regarding today's events
Thank you
It's nothing
Don't drink too much
This is the palace
Always stay alert
It's a joyous day
Don't say such depressing things
Your Highness are you alright
The urgent matter now
is to find a way out of the Cold Palace
Green Bamboo said
the real killer of my sister
is someone else
Only by getting out
can we figure things out
Got it
Red Plum
you tell Green Bamboo
Your Highness what is it
Red Plum
you find Green Bamboo
Your Highness don't worry
we'll handle it
Yes
that scoundrel Chief Zhang
the replacement guards came early
You all need to leave now
Hurry
No it's too late
Aren't you supposed to be on duty outside
What are you doing here
I came in to check
if there's anything unusual
There's movement outside the window
Probably just a stray cat
Let's go
Sister it's all thanks to you this time
Your Highness
Consort Ling has been overthrown
Can you spare Consort Hui
She was sent to the cold palace
Wasn't it you who personally conveyed the order
to Chief Zhang
How come
now you want to plead for her
Yes
If I had known Chief Zhang
was going to frame her
I would never
Are you sure you wouldn't
Have you forgotten how
you were bullied before
like a stray dog
kneeling and begging me
Give it to me
This is my mother's relic
Give it back to me
Go
This is what my mother left for me
Give it back to me
Go to hell
This is my mother's relic
Give it back to me
This is my mother's relic
Give it back to me
Only power
can protect everything
You
are you willing to obey me
I Fu am willing to follow
the lead of Lady Rong
The power and status
you have today
were all given by me
If you dare to disobey
I will take it back immediately
You can try
Take your little lover and leave the palace
elope
I dare not
If you dare not
then today
you are defying me
Kneel down
Nanny Ren
Whip her
Yes
Brother guard
Please be lenient
I'll just bring some food and leave
Go go go
The Emperor has decreed
No visits allowed
Let her in
I'll take responsibility if anything happens
Yes
Thank you Commander Fu
Would you like to come in too
G
Sister Xiuer
Lvzhu
Your injuries are much better
I'm fine
You've suffered
About the Emperor
Is everything arranged
Sister Hongmei
They are all arranged
But Chief Zhang is very cunning
He never leaves anyone alone
We haven't found the right opportunity yet
No rush
Safety first
We'll find the right time
By the way
That day you said
Consort Ling
Was not the real murderer of my sister
What's going on
When Auntie Chen placed me
In the tiger garden
She sent two maids
To take care of my medicine
That day
I was in a daze
I overheard their chat and found out
One of them
Was the one who threw Sister Ruyi
Into the mass grave
She seems to be still alive
Mind your own business
Let's go
Wait a moment
What's wrong now
I need to pee
Maybe you should go back first
You always have something
Did she mention which eunuch
She only said it wasn't from the Yikun Palace
Sister Xiuer
We can take down Concubine Ling
and we definitely
can help Sister Ruyi find the truth
What I want
did you bring it
What if the Emperor
doesn't come tonight
You're suffering too much like this
He will definitely come
Liang Dequan
Where did this come from
Previously
Concubine Hui
ordered the big kitchen
to learn from Matron Chen
and specifically instructed
that Your Majesty loves it
so every once in a while
make some and send it over
You may leave
Yes
G
Your Majesty please try it
How did I end up in the Cold Palace
By the Moon Goddess
I am willing to give ten years of my life
in exchange for Your Majesty's
good health
and smooth sailing in all matters
and a prosperous royal lineage
Great Qi
peace and prosperity for the nation
Concubine Hui
Your Majesty
Concubine Hui
has always been weak in qi and blood
and has been kneeling and praying for days
leading to cold entering her body
If this continues
it may harm her lifespan
Your Majesty
The imperial physician exaggerates
I am not seriously ill
Xiuer has always been healthy
how could she become weak in qi and blood
and have cold enter her body
in just a few days
Your Majesty
please don't ask
Liang Dequan
Your Majesty
The expenses for food and clothing in the palace
are all predetermined
Shortages of charcoal and food in the cold palace
happen from time to time
What do you mean by happening from time to time?
My women
even if they are in the cold palace
cannot be treated carelessly
Your Majesty
I am guilty
You are indeed perceptive
Tell me
what is your crime?
I am responsible for managing the six palaces
but I failed to discipline the palace staff properly
allowing them to embezzle supplies
causing Concubine Hui to fall ill
Please Your Majesty punish me
for my mismanagement
Sister
I have wronged you
Sister
you are too harsh on yourself
It's those tactless people
who acted on their own
how can you blame yourself?
Your Majesty
please don't punish Sister
Sister has been
taking care of the trivial matters of the six palaces
and works very hard
it's normal to have some minor mistakes
Sister is magnanimous
I will
definitely be more diligent in the future
and never make such a mistake again
Since Concubine Xiu
has pleaded for you
this matter will be dropped
If there is a next time
I
will not show mercy
Yes
Your Majesty
you are so kind to me
Concubine Xiu
you don't blame me
for banishing you to the cold palace
At first I
You're right to be angry at my distrust
But I understand
A consort coughing blood
is a serious matter
Being sent to the cold palace
is also
a kind of protection from Your Majesty towards me
It's getting late
I should return to the cold palace
Xiu'er
Tonight
you shall stay here
Don't go anywhere
Pay respects to Consort Rong
Everyone may leave
Yes
Since she is in such a hurry
then let her disappear completely
This is what His Majesty loves to eat
Place it here
My Lady
Recently there have been continuous chilling screams
coming from Consort Rong’s courtyard
Azhong sneaked into the abandoned well and found
many dead cats at the bottom of the well
Each met with a tragic end
Are you saying
Consort Rong abuses cats?
Yes
It seems she is the most ruthless person
in this harem
From now on
be cautious in your dealings
The Emperor has arrived!
Paying respects to the Emperor
Your humble servant pays respects to Your Majesty
Rise
Your Majesty
I
prepared your favorite dishes
Please try them
Xiu'er has worked hard
The dish chosen by Your Majesty tastes especially delicious
Your Majesty
There's an urgent military report
All the ministers are waiting for you in the council hall
Your Majesty
Please try some more
Grapes offered as tribute from the Western Regions
I
Wait till tonight to deal with you
Disgusting
Let's go
I bid farewell to Your Majesty
Beware of Consort Rong
Rice
You're Consort Rong's spy
Remind me
Or are you my distant benefactor
The day we picked flowers
I saw someone
Leave through the back door
From the back
It looked like Commander Fu
So
It really was you
Passing messages to the flower room
Even before
I was troubled by Consort Ling
Still dare to be stubborn
If not for someone backing you
How dare you be so bold
Plotting against me
Today the water palace
Will take your life
The Emperor arrives
Interrogation in the study
Your Majesty
Gu Lingxiu is full of malice
Staying in the palace will surely be a disaster
I beg Your Majesty
To execute her immediately
To comfort the spirit of Consort Li
In heaven
Wait
It's all
You who sent messages to Consort Rong
All along
I thought you took risks for me
Because you had feelings for me
Never expected
All of this was fake
I even
Even wanted to give up revenge
And leave the palace with you
You really are
A good dog for Consort Rong
There are countless smart people in the palace
Your purpose for entering the palace
Will be exposed sooner or later
Well
some things
aren't as simple as you think
The palace is too deep
You can't compete
I was too naive
You always warned me
I was too arrogant
Fu Heng
I ask you one last time
Have you ever
had true feelings for me
You can go
From now on
we are strangers
Your Highness
Green Bamboo sent a message
Chief Zhang has been caught
Let's go
Hurry
We must get the evidence
before Consort Rong notices
These people might be suspicious
Your Highness be careful
It's fine
Your Highness
Please don't let anything happen to you
Your Highness be careful
I'll report to the Emperor
Xiu'er
Get away
Don't pretend to be concerned
Is this
another part of your plan
No
I never intended to hurt you
What's going on
Sister Li Pin
why are you with Commander Fu
in public
hugging and holding
Is it possible
you're having an affair
Sister Li Pin
why are you with Commander Fu
in public
hugging and holding
Is it possible
you're having an affair
You still deny it
Today's events
were all orchestrated by you
Since it's come to this
Your Highness why not let me die with clarity
The incident at the banquet
was your master plan
aiming to kill two birds with one stone
to eliminate me
Not entirely foolish
Consort Ling has always been against me
I've long wanted to get rid of her
Just in time
you wanted to avenge your sister
so I lent you a hand
So the late Empress was also your doing
So what if it was
What can you do about it
You're about to
be convicted of adultery
and executed
To let you see
I'll be merciful
and tell you one thing
Your sister
was also killed by me
You two sisters
can reunite
in the afterlife
I'll kill you
Don't be rash Xiu'er
Your Highness
Your Highness something's wrong
Chief Zhang has been captured
You knew all along
and were just buying time
Exactly
These people might be suspicious
No matter what happens next
protect Chief Zhang first
I suppose the Emperor
already knows by now
that you are the true murderer
of the late Empress
Damn it
Die
Fu Heng
Don't die
Xiu'er
I
never thought
Hurt you
If I could do it all over again
I would definitely
Let go of everything
Take you away
From this devouring palace
Fu Heng
Fu Heng don't die
Fu Heng
I forgive you
Don't die
Bitch
Go die
Come
Guards
Take this lunatic
Who murdered the former queen
Bind her for me
Stay back
Anyone who comes closer I'll kill her
Consort Rong
Put down the sword
I can spare your life
For the sake of our past
Past affections
Your Majesty
How much do you remember
Of our past
Your heart belongs only to the queen
Even after her death
Your heart still belongs to the queen
All I've done
All my efforts
Were just to
Gain a bit more of your favor
In your eyes
I'm just a madwoman
You murdered the former queen
Your crime is unforgivable
And now you dare to hold Consort Hui hostage
Do you really think
I wouldn't dare to kill you
Kill me
Fine
Then come and kill me
In this deep palace
Without a shred of affection
What difference is there from death
Since I can't have it
I'll destroy everything
Consort Hui
Xiuer
Are you alright
Xiuer
Hurry
Call the imperial physician
Congratulations Your Majesty
Consort Hui
Is two months pregnant
Are you saying
This is true
Liang Dequan
Did you hear
Consort Hui is pregnant
I
Am going to be a father
Your servant heard
Congratulations Your Majesty
You have an heir
Great Qi
Has hope
I have a child
Issue the decree immediately
Promote Consort Hui to Noble Consort Hui
Move into the Yikun Palace
Assist in managing the six palaces
I
Will give her the greatest honor
Yes
Madam
The Emperor has learned that in your womb
Are twins
His Majesty is overjoyed
And has doubled
Our staff
He also ordered to send many
Rare trinkets
Each piece is
A rare treasure
Last night Ah Zhong sent word that
Lv Zhu is also pregnant
Go pick some suitable items
And send them to her
It's also
A little token of our thoughtfulness
Yes
Sister has such refined taste
But I wonder if you are admiring the flowers
Or
Perhaps
Where's Siren
You're too polite sister
I've been out for a while now
I'll head back first
Nowadays sister
you're the luckiest
in the entire harem
However
life in the palace
is like the weather
it changes in a blink
From now on
you must be careful in everything
Stay tuned for the next episode
