00:00To be continued...
00:30Seriously, set up the pavilion already?
01:00To be continued...
01:29You know, she had the emperor when she was just...
01:33She must have worked hard to bear him.
01:37The empress actually has two children.
01:39Of course there's the emperor and his younger brother who should be there.
01:43I heard all kinds of rumors about him, like how he has a weak constitution and rarely ever leaves his chambers.
01:49I thought he was here just a few moments ago, but he must have left.
01:52Same cell.
01:53Huh? How dare you call us boring?
01:56Ladies-in-waiting serve their mistresses!
01:59Why would we dress more extravagantly than her?
02:02Such a stupid question.
02:04So you don't want to look your best?
02:06That reflects poorly on your mistress.
02:08Lady Lihua.
02:13Those are her ladies.
02:16Oh my, by the looks of it, Lihua went and got us involved in a proxy war.
02:20We'd better go and back her up.
02:22Still, not like it'd help that ugly girl out.
02:25No dress would.
02:27Hold on.
02:28Does she mean me?
02:29You're embarrassing yourself hiring someone like her.
02:32You take that back now.
02:35Lihua!
02:36Calm down, please!
02:38They really haven't noticed me?
02:40And after all the fun we had at the Crystal Pavilion...
02:44If you insist on acting up, I'll have no choice but to tell my father about you!
02:52Well then, I'll have to do things to you you'd never tell him.
02:56Stay away from me!
03:00Huh?
03:02It was just some off-color courtesan humor.
03:09Apologize to my mouth, it's instant!
03:21Oh, now all of a sudden you have nothing to say?
03:23No, I've done!
03:24Yes, I think we made our point.
03:26We ought to be leaving now.
03:28You should be thanking me!
03:31What's our deal anyway?
03:33Hey, don't listen to those bullies.
03:36I mean, just look at how adorable you are.
03:39Oh, I don't care.
03:40That aside, it's about time to switch out your pocket warmers.
03:44Aww!
03:44Not only did she grow up in poverty, her fear of men drove her to disfigure her own face!
03:51And for two long months, she endured relentless bullying at the Crystal Pavilion.
03:56Yet she refuses to complain, and instead looks after us!
04:00I see why Master Jinji has taken her under his wing!
04:04She's so deserving!
04:07There they go, being delusional again.
04:09Have you known decency?
04:16That's the color you decided to wear?
04:18Watch out.
04:19Another proxy war.
04:21The virtuous and pure consort servants, they don't get along either.
04:25The former is fourteen and arrived at the palace later, while the pure consort is thirty-five
04:31and has been here the longest, so they're at each other's throats.
04:34Also, they used to be daughter and mother-in-law.
04:37How's that possible?
04:39Actually, it can get a little bit complicated.
04:43In the past, one was the previous emperor's concubine, and while that was going on, the
04:47other served the former crown prince.
04:49However, as you already know, the old ruler passed away.
04:52Afterwards, the late emperor's consort left the palace briefly, but returned and took
04:56on the role as the current emperor's concubine.
04:59If he died five years ago in my math's right, then concubine Adrul would have been about thirty
05:03years old at the time, whereas the virtuous consort wasn't even quite ten years old.
05:09That's all politics, but a consort at that age?
05:12Unbelievable, right?
05:13Nine years old and a mother-in-law.
05:16Nine years old.
05:18Mother.
05:20What?
05:20That's it?
05:22Mm-hmm.
05:24Then the previous emperor's concubine was Lady Lishio?
05:29Oh!
05:47So she's the mother-in-law?
05:49Takes you by surprise, right?
05:52I mean, Lady Lishio is still practically a child.
05:56I kind of noticed.
05:58Usually, white would be an appropriate color for the virtuous consort's gown.
06:01But that dark pink color?
06:03It certainly clashes with Lady Gyokyo, the precious consort.
06:07Maybe she doesn't know how to read the room?
06:09Thank you, those warmers.
06:15They did the trick.
06:16Sure.
06:22It's freezing.
06:27You can try holding these if you're cold.
06:29Here.
06:34Here.
06:36Here.
06:45You're always considerate.
06:47After the way they treated you, you still offered them all warmers.
06:50And getting Lady Gyokyo's permission, too.
06:54You know...
06:55Huh?
06:58A hairpin?
07:00Yep.
07:00See?
07:01That's how they recruit the most exceptional workers here in the flower garden.
07:05Huh.
07:06But between us, it has another hidden meaning.
07:09Interesting.
07:11Excuse me!
07:12I'm trying to gossip with you over here!
07:15A secret.
07:17Huh.
07:17Pardon me, miss.
07:25Hmm?
07:25I'd like you to have this.
07:30Hmm.
07:32Guess he's handing them out to everyone.
07:34And doesn't want any servant left out.
07:36Hmm.
07:37Hmm.
07:38Hmm.
07:39Thanks.
07:40Sure.
07:41My name's Li Haku.
07:43A pleasure.
07:44Hmm.
07:44Big dog energy.
07:48Woof, woof!
07:49What did he just give you?
07:50Let me see!
07:51A participation award.
07:54I believe you deserve more.
08:00It's been some time.
08:02Indeed, my lady.
08:10I suppose that's all for today.
08:13My lady?
08:14Uh...
08:14We'll take our leave.
08:17Have a pleasant day.
08:22Our mistress won't like this.
08:25That's an understatement if I've heard one.
08:28So, what will you do?
08:30Uh...
08:32Gaoshun looks pretty good there.
08:48I guess he's a higher rank than I thought.
08:52He doesn't look out of place among the soldiers, either.
08:55Hey, it's that officer.
08:59They've got him seated at the very edge, but still impressive given his age.
09:05I don't see our sparkly eunuch anywhere, but...
09:08Who cares?
09:09Who cares?
09:09Who cares?
09:09Hmm?
09:16Time for more important matters.
09:17No clouding on contact with the metal.
09:25No issue with the smell.
09:27But a food taster's job isn't done until the cup is empty.
09:32Now to rinse out my mouth with water.
09:39Huh?
09:39All tasters are expendable, but there's a difference between me and them.
09:55I'm probably the only one that enjoys eating poison.
09:59You know it would be good right now.
10:01If someone snuck pufferfish guts into the soup.
10:05That lovely stinging sensation on the tongue.
10:07There's nothing else like it.
10:14Focus.
10:16The emperor loves this vinegar, fish, and vegetable dish.
10:19I saw it a few times at the rear palace.
10:21Usually it includes blueback, but today it's...
10:25Jellyfish.
10:26The cook responsible for preparing the food would never mistake the emperor's favorite ingredient.
10:32Lady Gyo-kyo has no prominent likes or dislikes either.
10:36Apparently the server messed up.
10:38Guess she's not a fan of the fish.
10:58But the consort can't refuse to eat it.
11:00Not in front of the emperor.
11:02Wish I hadn't seen that.
11:13Hey, Li-haku.
11:15One of the food tasters is really digging in.
11:18You may enjoy watching someone eat while terrified, but I have different ideas of fun.
11:23Come on, just take a look.
11:24Wait, I know that girl.
11:29I met her earlier.
11:30I met her earlier.
11:30Well, it must be quite delicious.
11:56This is poison.
12:08The consort's soup was tainted.
12:16Poison?
12:16Are you sure?
12:17Occupy Kyo-kyo!
12:18The tasters swallowed it.
12:20Minister, what are you doing?
12:23Formal attire is too tight.
12:25Help!
12:28The minister drank the soup and collapsed.
12:34Did she?
12:41Found you.
12:43Master Jinchi, what a beautiful day.
12:46Yours seems better than mine.
12:48Oh no.
12:50I got excited about the poison and I smiled at him.
12:52What exactly are you doing right now?
12:58Getting you a doctor.
13:00I coughed up the poison already, but really, I'm feeling alright.
13:05At least I can dream about digesting it.
13:07On the ground, incapacitated.
13:10The toxin coursing through my body.
13:13Master Jinchi, I was wondering.
13:16Yes, what?
13:16Can I please have the rest of the soup?
13:21Idiot.
13:22Of course not.
13:23I'm just eager to be a better taster.
13:27After you ran off without any difficulty, someone doubted the soup contained poison and decided to try it.
13:33Surely there's no one that stupid.
13:35A minister.
13:36Now the party's become a whole huge incident.
13:38Here, it's an emetic agent.
13:43Give him this.
13:44I made it strong enough to turn anyone's stomach inside out.
13:48Isn't that also a poison?
13:49Is that a new hairpin?
13:59So, the eunuchs get them too?
14:04His color is disheveled, plus his normal sparkle is gone.
14:10Was he absent because he was indecently engaged elsewhere?
14:15Right now, he's acting his age more than usual.
14:19Or rather, he looks quite a bit younger.
14:24I kind of prefer him like this.
14:29Oh, wow!
14:35The palace infirmary has some seriously effective drugs!
14:39You think you'll survive?
14:43Yes, I'm all emptied out.
14:48Lovely.
14:49Since you're feeling better now, who attempted to poison concubine Gyokyo?
14:54On that subject, there are parties I'd like to speak with.
14:58Name them.
14:58If you would, invite the virtuous consort, Lady Lishu.
15:05Master Jishi!
15:06Always happy to be of service to you!
15:08My apologies for asking you to such an inelegant place.
15:12But this lady-in-waiting, she wanted to have a word with you.
15:17Ugh.
15:19Well, what is it?
15:24Pardon me.
15:24As I thought.
15:32Is it that you can't eat fish?
15:37What is wrong with her arm?
15:39Some people.
15:40There are foods they can't eat.
15:42Like me, for instance.
15:44My body can't handle buckwheat.
15:46A poison you have no problem consuming?
15:48Leave me alone.
15:49Trust me, I tried to build up a tolerance.
15:53But I couldn't.
15:54Every time it made my throat swell, and breathing became difficult.
15:58Even the smallest portions caused rashes.
16:01So adjusting the amounts was difficult, and healing took a long time.
16:05That is what it means to be unable to eat something.
16:07By the way, how is your stomach feeling, Lady Lishu?
16:12I can get you a laxative.
16:15How did you figure it out?
16:20The food at the garden party.
16:21It obviously was prepared by the rear palace chefs.
16:25However, the vinegar dish contained a different ingredient.
16:29Someone made an error, and Lady Gyo-kyo's dish ended up getting switched with yours by mistake.
16:35I see.
16:35You can't eat mackerel, correct?
16:45It's not merely about liking or disliking certain foods.
16:49This time, it's lucky you only broke out in hives.
16:52It could have resulted in labored breathing, or far worse.
16:56And to feed her the fish knowingly would be the same thing as poisoning her.
17:05Remind me, you're her food taster, right?
17:13Yes, I am.
17:15I've made instructions what to do in case of an emergency.
17:22Of course, it's best if it never comes to that.
17:25Please take a look.
17:33They're not difficult to follow.
17:35However, should you fail even once to remain vigilant,
17:39a situation may occur no physician can remedy.
17:42The results could prove lethal.
17:44So take care.
17:47And never, ever forget that.
17:53That should scare her enough.
17:55What was that about?
18:07Please, I'm of lowly birth.
18:09It's not right for you to touch me.
18:11You're the only one who has ever used that excuse.
18:14That's just because everyone else is being nice to you.
18:17Anyway, I have to report to Lady Gyokyo.
18:24Hold it.
18:25Why did you request that the food taster be present as well?
18:30Whatever do you mean?
18:32Don't play dumb.
18:33You asked me to bring her.
18:34Simply to tell her what to be mindful of.
18:37Meaning, the servers are the ones responsible for the error.
18:42A mere lady-in-waiting wouldn't know.
18:44At the very least, answer this.
18:51The virtuous consort.
18:54She was the target, right?
18:57If we assume none of the other dishes were poisoned.
19:00I see.
19:01I see.
19:14What a day.
19:21So, the matter with the wooden tablets,
19:24do you think the two events are somehow related?
19:27Her lady-in-waiting.
19:28I noticed she didn't have any burns on her.
19:32If not her, then who?
19:34She was the target, right?
20:04Thank you for listening.
20:34Oh
21:04Next time homecoming
