00:01This might be your idea of food, but you're serving Lady Lihua.
00:05She deserves luxurious meals. I would be embarrassed even showing her this slop.
00:10What in your little head made you think Lady Lihua would enjoy something like your bland soup?
00:18What a pain. If I had a choice, I would have never come to the Crystal Pavilion.
00:23Let's go back to the night the Emperor paid a visit to the Jade Pavilion.
00:53There's no poison. Excuse me, I'll take my leave.
01:02A moment.
01:04That's the first time the Empress addressed me directly.
01:07You're famous, Apothecary. I have a request for you.
01:11Famous? I don't like the sound of this. Anything.
01:15Concubine Lihua is ill, and I would like you to look after her.
01:20I look after her. What he really means is cure her.
01:24The word of the Emperor is the word of the heavens.
01:27If I declined, it would be grounds for my beheading.
01:31Of course.
01:34Kind of brazen, mentioning this in front of another concubine.
01:38It's not just His Majesty's title. He really is an Emperor by nature.
01:43That being said, it's incredible the way they're treating me when I'm here on Imperial Order.
01:50They serve Lady Lihua, and I'm in service to Lady Gyokyo.
01:54So they must think I'm the enemy.
01:57If you're done cleaning, go make yourself scarce!
02:00Boing. Boing.
02:03Oh well. Guess I'll have to cook it again.
02:05Are you at the Crystal Pavilion now, Mau Mau?
02:10Yeah. I'm looking after Lady Lihua.
02:13I see. Guess that means she hasn't fully recovered yet.
02:17The poison from the whitening powder must still be in her system.
02:21That awful stuff, huh?
02:23Fortunately, from what I heard, it was banned.
02:26The Eunuchs made sure to locate any still left in the rear palace and confiscate it.
02:30No more pointless deaths. Good.
02:33Can we just take a minute, Mau Mau, and appreciate how awesome you have to be for the Emperor to personally request your assistance with this?
02:40You must really not trust the doctor if he prefers to rely on a girl like me.
02:46You're going to the kitchen later, right?
02:49Mhm.
02:50Good luck with the cooking!
02:52Thanks a lot.
02:57Alright.
02:58First, I have to improve Lady Lihua's diet.
03:01There's poison still in our body, and I have to find a way to expel it.
03:04Yeah.
03:07The best way is porridge with lots of fiber, along with a diuretic tea.
03:12Don't use these, or these either.
03:15This, that, and with these.
03:18And I want those over there.
03:23Enough is enough!
03:24This is our lady's chamber, and no place for lowly girls like you.
03:28Boing, boing.
03:30This is going to take a while.
03:34In that case, let's try this, this, those, these.
03:42How many times do I have to tell you?
03:44And what's it going to take to make you understand she needs something easy to digest?
03:46Shows how much you know.
03:47You realize she's sick?
03:49Obviously the lady needs nutritious food, not peasant food.
03:53So that's her usual meal.
03:55There's no denying it's nutritious.
03:58But far too heavy for a sick person's weakened stomach.
04:02Why's that so hard for them to comprehend?
04:04And how come no one stopped them?
04:05Lady Lihua, your meal is ready.
04:10We brought you all the usual things you like.
04:13Please, you must try and eat.
04:20She's choking!
04:22Oh no, what do we do?
04:24Quickly, bring water!
04:25Are you alright, Lady Lihua?
04:27Please drink this, it'll make you feel better, I promise.
04:29Hm?
04:33Look what you've done to our lady, lowly servant!
04:36Your presence is only upsetting her!
04:38Take your leave now!
04:41Boing, boing.
04:43The way things are going, I won't be able to get anywhere near her.
04:48I've got to plan out my next step.
04:55If I could at least do an examination...
04:57What on earth for?
04:59So you can make things worse than you already have?
05:04At this rate, she's bound to wither and die.
05:07That happens when people don't eat.
05:11After the loss of her child, she's probably lost the will to live.
05:14I wonder how many days I have left before my head bids farewell to my neck for Define the Emperor's Order.
05:28Seems you're in a bit of a bind.
05:31Hm?
05:33Is that the way you see it?
05:35Well, it certainly appears so.
05:36Ugh.
05:38Master Jinshi!
05:40Can the girl not take a hint?
05:43Why is she with Master Jinshi?
05:44A dumb misunderstanding.
05:46D-d-what?
05:50If it helps, I can come inside.
05:54Master Jinshi!
05:56What beautiful and talented ladies-in-waiting.
05:59Don't you think you should respect the Emperor's wishes?
06:02Hm?
06:04We weren't ignoring them!
06:05What are we?
06:07More like we, um, were...
06:09Scary how women can change so quickly.
06:12Hm?
06:13Well, go ahead.
06:14I don't know.
06:20Well, go ahead.
06:21I don't know.
06:43I don't know.
06:52She has the will to eat.
06:54But she's weaker than I initially thought.
06:58Maybe rice water's better.
07:00Hm?
07:04Please forgive me.
07:07The same shade as before.
07:09The concubine's makeup. Are you the one in charge of it?
07:32Yes, I am.
07:34We want Lady Lihua to always remain beautiful.
07:36The fool.
07:37The fool. Doesn't she know that's our job?
07:40It is all for her sake.
07:42Yes, obviously.
07:43I see.
07:45What is wrong with you?
07:48Me? Just punishing an idiot, clearly.
07:51Ouch! You're hurting me! Stop it!
07:54The poison will infect your whole body after a while.
08:06On the bright side, you'll leave a beautiful corpse.
08:10Just like your beloved Lady Lihua.
08:13Bloodless skin, white as bone.
08:15Eyes sunken in their sockets.
08:17A body that's unable to even consume food.
08:19This was banned for a reason.
08:22Or are you too dumb to see that?!
08:23I...
08:25I thought...
08:26It would make Lady Lihua happy!
08:28Like I said, it's poison.
08:29You think you know everything.
08:30But there are no thoughts in that head of yours.
08:32You think she wants to be adorned in the poison that killed her son?!
08:33I...
08:35I...
08:36Th-
08:38I thought...
08:39It would make Lady Lihua happy!
08:40I...
08:41I...
08:42I...
08:43I...
08:44I...
08:45I...
08:47I...
08:48I...
08:49I...
08:50I...
08:51I...
08:52I...
08:54I...
08:55I...
08:56I...
08:57I...
08:58I...
08:59I...
09:00I...
09:01Go rinse your mouth out and wash your face.
09:05Hey!
09:05I don't need any of this poison getting near the patient.
09:08Now clean up the floor at once.
09:10Oh, scary.
09:16How quickly women can change.
09:23What got into me?
09:25I've done it now.
09:26Let's go.
09:26When I finally got close, I found her health was worse than I thought.
09:34I started by changing from porridge to rice water.
09:37I forced the food into her mouth and had her swallow slowly over and over.
09:43There's no sense worrying about etiquette at a time like this.
09:48I aired out the room, which thinned out the incense, revealing the smell of sick.
09:53Those incompetent fools can't even wash their mistress properly.
09:56What poor excuses for ladies-in-waiting.
09:59There's so much they could have been doing besides worrying about incense.
10:05Hey, bring hot water and cloth.
10:09Um, sure.
10:12You three, get to work.
10:14Yes!
10:14I had her drink tea often, which causes frequent urination and flushes poison out of the body.
10:28Um, are you sure Lady Lihua isn't in pain?
10:31No, but she must drink.
10:34She slowly began to eat more, so I increased the amount of rice grains in the water.
10:38When she was able to swallow them, I added soup and ground fruit to the mixture.
10:45The lady-in-waiting who was applying the makeup was put into confinement.
10:50From what I understand, she'd hid the powder for Lady Lihua.
10:54The unic who was supposed to recover the powder was punished by flagellation.
10:59You're looking tired.
11:20Thanks.
11:21Unlike someone, I have been busy.
11:23We brought gifts.
11:25So very thoughtful of you, sir.
11:31Whoa!
11:33He knows the way to a girl's heart.
11:36It's the considerate guys like him who become good husbands.
11:39Too bad he's a eunuch.
11:41And then there's this guy.
11:48Need help?
11:49With anything else I need.
11:50Name it.
11:55Anything at all.
11:58Bring those materials over there and lend them a hand.
12:02We must hurry for Lady Lihua's sake.
12:05Yes!
12:07A steam bath?
12:09Apparently, sweating is good for her.
12:11You think it will help?
12:13I suppose so.
12:14We have to use whatever we have in this life.
12:17You...
12:29Girl...
12:30Huh?
12:31Why?
12:32What do you need, Lady?
12:35You saved me.
12:38I'm confused.
12:40You shouldn't have bothered and just allowed me to die.
12:43Yes, I helped.
12:46But you could have easily refused to eat.
12:49The fact you ate the porridge tells me you want to keep living.
12:53I see.
13:00I see.
13:14You're right.
13:44You're right.
14:14You're back.
14:21I've been released.
14:23Since my confinement is over, I am permitted to serve Lady Lihua once again.
14:28It was a terrible mistake and one I'll never repeat.
14:31I swear.
14:33I will take your place now.
14:35I insist you get some rest.
14:38All right.
14:44Lady Lihua.
14:53Lady Lihua.
14:53If you could, please fetch me some water.
15:11Yes.
15:17Yes.
15:17Yes.
15:24About two months later, Lady Lihua recovered enough to be able to walk the gardens by herself.
15:30She has self-respect, but isn't arrogant.
15:37After that matter with the prince, I had imagined her as some kind of selfish princess.
15:43It turns out she has a personality befitting a concubine.
15:46Yes.
15:46Yes.
15:47Yes.
15:49He was Fred.
15:50Yeah.
15:51She knows what he wants.
15:53Let's go.
15:54Let's see.
15:56Even now, Lady Lihua had a home.
15:59I'm not looking for her anymore.
16:00But she will have a good time...
16:04Ed, I've been cooking him for two months.
16:06I'll be leaving the Crystal Pavilion tomorrow morning.
16:25Fine.
16:27I've already spoken to your ladies-in-waiting about your food and other things that need to be taken care of.
16:35Good.
16:36So then, am I unable to bear children?
16:41I don't know.
16:42If you want more, perhaps you should try.
16:45His Majesty's love for me has all but vanished.
16:49If that's true, why did he order me to take care of you?
16:53Once I return to the Jade Pavilion, perhaps then the Emperor will be inclined to pay you a visit.
17:00I chose to ignore the advice you gave.
17:02As a result, I allowed my child to die.
17:05Concubine Gyokyo has won.
17:07It's not a matter of winning and losing.
17:12There are hundreds, if not thousands, of flowers in the world.
17:16Comparing a peony to a bellflower is pointless.
17:19Who has the right to judge which is more beautiful?
17:21But even so, I possess neither her jade eyes nor her bright hair.
17:27You have other assets, I've noticed.
17:35Putting aside their magnificent size.
17:38Truly, what shape and tension.
17:42My lady, would you mind lending me your ear?
17:45With that, I should be off.
18:03I left Lady Lihua with one final gift.
18:11A secret technique taught to me by my big sisters at the brothel.
18:15You and someone special will be glad we taught you this.
18:18Aww.
18:20I don't have the fruits nearly large enough to pull off the technique myself.
18:24Lady Lihua, on the other hand, will do just fine.
18:27I hope it's useful.
18:39I've returned, my lady.
18:41Welcome back.
18:43Mal Mal!
18:44Are you alright?
18:45You are just skin and bone.
18:47Oh, it must have been so hard on you.
18:50She completed the Emperor's mission on her own.
18:53Quite impressive.
18:57Afterward, there was a period where the Emperor's visits to the Jade Pavilion decreased quite significantly.
19:05Finally, much-deserved respite from all those sleepless nights.
19:11Mal Mal couldn't keep a straight face.
19:13But that's another story.
19:15It's a curse.
19:37It's a curse.
19:37It's a curse.
