00:00:08Where am I?
00:00:10Wasn't I on overtime at the hospital?
00:00:12How come?
00:00:20How dare you, you lonely court lady?
00:00:22You dare block the noble concert?
00:00:26You're born with good looks, aren't you?
00:00:28You're even dressed so exquisitely.
00:00:30Since you're seeing his majesty?
00:00:32What a pity.
00:00:33You're just a lowly court lady.
00:00:35You may not even touch his majesty's bed.
00:00:37Is that so?
00:00:38A court lady hardly sees his majesty all year.
00:00:40They say you serve his majesty.
00:00:42But in reality, you're just a maid who sweeps the floor.
00:00:45Noble consort Jasmine holds the imperial favor.
00:00:48How could his majesty look at someone like you?
00:00:49You're not even worth his passing glance.
00:00:51You'd better take a good look at yourself.
00:00:53You wanna climb into his bed?
00:00:54Dream on, you're worthless little maid.
00:01:00Please save me!
00:01:01I can't swim!
00:01:02Save me!
00:01:03Please save me!
00:01:04I can't swim!
00:01:05Just let her cool off in the water for a while.
00:01:07So she can properly remember her place.
00:01:09Please help me!
00:01:14Oh no.
00:01:15I was a doctor in the 21st century.
00:01:17But I died while I was working overtime.
00:01:22My time traveled.
00:01:25Stop playing, Dad.
00:01:26It's your fault.
00:01:27You offended the noble concert.
00:01:28You doomed the rest of us to suffer.
00:01:30This new life is worse than a dog's.
00:01:33Parry and drink this.
00:01:34Then go apologize to the noble concert.
00:01:39How dare you insolently offend her yesterday?
00:01:41You deserve to die.
00:01:42Today, you must kneel at the Phoenix Purge Palace.
00:01:44There's no empress right now.
00:01:45Noble concert Jasmine will claim it.
00:01:46By that time, don't track us with you.
00:01:48I can't get up.
00:01:49Stop using that trick.
00:01:51We are late today.
00:01:52Both of us die.
00:01:53Others follow their master and enjoy the best things.
00:01:55But following you?
00:01:56I'm not only short on basics.
00:01:57But I have to live in fear.
00:01:58It is really bad luck.
00:02:01Drink it!
00:02:06I, a renowned 21st century doctor,
00:02:08have become dangerously ill.
00:02:09Being bullied how they want.
00:02:11And stepped on by everyone?
00:02:15This noble consort was the original Willa's best friend.
00:02:18Now that she's moved up,
00:02:19she opposes her in every way.
00:02:21Your Highness,
00:02:21I have brought court Lady Goodwin here.
00:02:24Willa,
00:02:25you ran afoul of me yesterday.
00:02:27And today you come this late?
00:02:29Do you truly take me seriously at all?
00:02:31Your Highness, please forgive me.
00:02:33I didn't intentionally come late.
00:02:34I caught a chill last night.
00:02:35And feel somewhat unwell.
00:02:37So I'm a bit late today.
00:02:38I ask for your forgiveness.
00:02:39Caught a chill last night?
00:02:41But I see you full of energy.
00:02:43With a healthy glow.
00:02:44Hardly someone ailing.
00:02:46Stop using those poor excuses.
00:02:47You're not fooling me.
00:02:48I think you're deliberately neglectful.
00:02:54You offended Her Highness,
00:02:55disregarded Reg,
00:02:56and disobeyed.
00:02:56It's outrageous!
00:02:57Sally,
00:02:58punish her with a cane,
00:02:59and send her to criminal court.
00:03:03Let go!
00:03:04Jasmine,
00:03:05are you trying to kill me?
00:03:06I didn't intend to offend you,
00:03:08yet you treat me unfairly.
00:03:09You are a lowly court lady.
00:03:10I can beat you,
00:03:11or kill you if I want.
00:03:15Although I'm only a lowly court lady,
00:03:16I will not tolerate being trampled on.
00:03:18You have quite the nerve.
00:03:20Guards,
00:03:20drag her away.
00:03:21Teach her a lesson.
00:03:22Yes.
00:03:23Take her away.
00:03:25Are you sure about this?
00:03:26Take her away now.
00:03:27Yes.
00:03:28Quick.
00:03:28All right.
00:03:29Since you chose this,
00:03:30don't blame me for being rude.
00:03:33I'll beat you,
00:03:34you foul rat,
00:03:34for abusing your power.
00:03:35I will strangle you.
00:03:37Get her off me.
00:03:37You go to hell.
00:03:38What are you doing?
00:03:41Let go of me.
00:03:42How dare you hit me.
00:03:43You've got some nerve.
00:03:44Have her punished immediately.
00:03:45Oh no.
00:03:47Your Highness,
00:03:48terrible news.
00:03:49The Empress Dowager,
00:03:49Her Majesty's criminally ill.
00:03:51All the consorts are rushing
00:03:52to the Benevolence Palace.
00:03:53Yes,
00:03:54Your Highness,
00:03:54the Empress Dowager isn't well.
00:03:56If you punish her right now,
00:03:57you'll disturb Her Majesty.
00:03:58It could be bad for Her Health.
00:03:59I will spare your life today.
00:04:01I'll deal with you next time.
00:04:02Let's go.
00:04:03To Her Majesty.
00:04:08Let's go.
00:04:09To Her Majesty.
00:04:09Let's see to Her Majesty.
00:04:10Even the Imperial physicians
00:04:11can't cure her.
00:04:11What can you possibly do?
00:04:13Don't be more trouble.
00:04:14You're in deep as it is.
00:04:15If they're out of answers,
00:04:15that doesn't mean I am as well.
00:04:16I have my own methods.
00:04:18What are you saying?
00:04:19What methods?
00:04:20Some shaman remedies?
00:04:21It's my duty to save and heal people.
00:04:23Whether they can be saved,
00:04:24we'll just have to see.
00:04:25Instead of acting strangely over here,
00:04:27just come with me to have a look.
00:04:27Fine, let's go.
00:04:29Since you won't listen,
00:04:29now I want to see
00:04:30how you're going to die.
00:04:32Of course I'm not going to tell you
00:04:34that I'm a famous doctor in the future.
00:04:35I can cure all sorts of complicated diseases.
00:04:38If I save Her Majesty,
00:04:40the owner of this body will be avenged.
00:04:52My son.
00:04:54I'm afraid.
00:04:55I won't.
00:04:55Mother, you will be fine.
00:05:05Your Majesty, I have done my utmost.
00:05:07I'm afraid Her Majesty's body,
00:05:10you, are not allowed to speak nonsense.
00:05:13My mother will surely recover.
00:05:17Your Majesty,
00:05:18Her Majesty's illness is a chronic ailment.
00:05:20It has reached the end of its course.
00:05:23I'm powerless to reverse it.
00:05:25You bunch of quacks.
00:05:26You boast about your medical skills
00:05:27as unmatched on Earth.
00:05:29And now that my mother is unwell,
00:05:30you can't do anything.
00:05:31Your Majesty,
00:05:32Her Majesty,
00:05:33suffers from angina.
00:05:34It has progressed beyond
00:05:36what medicine can save.
00:05:37We have,
00:05:37we've done everything we can.
00:05:39Mother.
00:05:40Mr. Chilton,
00:05:41you must save Her Majesty.
00:05:43You are unmatched.
00:05:44The entire palace is counting on you.
00:05:45Her Majesty's ailment
00:05:47has been deep-rooted for years.
00:05:49Even Hippocrates himself
00:05:50won't be able-
00:05:52Angina?
00:05:52Her heart is in danger.
00:05:54It could become a heart attack.
00:05:55We have to act quickly.
00:05:56Everyone make room.
00:05:57Her Majesty's breathing is fast.
00:05:59She needs to breathe fresh air.
00:06:00If you all stay here,
00:06:01it will only make her worse.
00:06:02How dare you?
00:06:03Her Majesty is unwell.
00:06:04At a time like this,
00:06:05you still spout nonsense?
00:06:06Guards,
00:06:06drag her out of here.
00:06:09Your Majesty,
00:06:10I only wish to let Her Majesty
00:06:12breathe some fresh air.
00:06:12I mean no harm at all.
00:06:14Fresh air?
00:06:15What nonsense are you spouting?
00:06:16In simple terms,
00:06:17the air in here is foul.
00:06:19Her Majesty has been breathing it,
00:06:20causing her chest pains.
00:06:21So everyone make room
00:06:22to let the foul air disperse.
00:06:24What nerve?
00:06:25This palace is a blessed place
00:06:26with fresh air.
00:06:27There's no foul air here.
00:06:28You just want to disturb Her Majesty.
00:06:29You're malicious.
00:06:30No, Your Highness,
00:06:31you're wrong.
00:06:31It's the midst of winter.
00:06:33The weather is cold.
00:06:33Even if this palace is well-placed,
00:06:35the air can still grow stagnant.
00:06:36So there's need for fresh air.
00:06:37It will greatly benefit
00:06:38Her Majesty's health.
00:06:41Make room now.
00:06:43Do you know medicine?
00:06:44I know a little.
00:06:46Her Majesty's chest pain
00:06:47has recurred,
00:06:48but I can treat her.
00:06:49Your Majesty,
00:06:50you are wise.
00:06:51Now within the harem,
00:06:53many use the banner
00:06:53of filial piety
00:06:54to gain favor.
00:06:55She has been here
00:06:56for many years,
00:06:57yet never earned your favor.
00:06:59Now Her Majesty is ill,
00:07:00she suddenly shows herself.
00:07:02It's easy to see
00:07:03her true intentions.
00:07:04Your Majesty,
00:07:05I am loyal to Her Majesty.
00:07:07I mean her no harm.
00:07:08That's complete nonsense.
00:07:09Mr. Chilton's skills are superb.
00:07:11Even he is powerless
00:07:11before this illness.
00:07:13How dare you claim you're better?
00:07:14I see.
00:07:15You have a death wish.
00:07:16Your Majesty,
00:07:16I'm not speaking rashly here.
00:07:18I can treat Her Majesty.
00:07:19It's just that her condition
00:07:20requires rather uncommon methods.
00:07:22What nonsense is this?
00:07:23Even Mr. Chilton is powerless.
00:07:25So are you saying
00:07:26your skills are better than his?
00:07:31Uncommon methods?
00:07:32I've practiced medicine for decades.
00:07:34I have never heard of
00:07:34Her Majesty's illness
00:07:35being treated by such methods.
00:07:37Her Majesty has been unwell
00:07:38for a long time.
00:07:39Mr. Chilton has researched for months
00:07:40and yet he found nothing.
00:07:41While you,
00:07:42who've never studied medicine like us,
00:07:44dare to speak so boldly here.
00:07:46Mr. Lee,
00:07:46you've been rendered helpless
00:07:48by Her Majesty's illness.
00:07:49But that doesn't mean
00:07:50others are powerless.
00:07:50What a joke.
00:07:52You can't cure
00:07:52Her Majesty's illness?
00:07:54Don't you even look at yourself?
00:07:55You're just a court lady.
00:07:56You have the nerve
00:07:56to speak boldly here, huh?
00:07:58I've practiced medicine for decades.
00:07:59In all my years serving,
00:08:01I've never seen
00:08:01someone as foolhardy as you.
00:08:03Mr. Lee,
00:08:04I mean no offense,
00:08:05but Her Majesty is unwell.
00:08:07This is urgent.
00:08:09If I can save her,
00:08:09I have to try it.
00:08:11Your Majesty,
00:08:12this woman is just
00:08:12making trouble here.
00:08:13No one can cure this illness.
00:08:15Not even Hippocrates himself.
00:08:17Please,
00:08:17I implore you,
00:08:18quickly take this woman away.
00:08:20Harnish her for deceiving
00:08:21the Sovereign.
00:08:22My dear son,
00:08:23I'm afraid
00:08:24my end is very near.
00:08:26Mother.
00:08:27Your Majesty,
00:08:28I only wish to help.
00:08:29If there's a way to do it,
00:08:30it must be tried.
00:08:30If Her Majesty continues like this,
00:08:32she will suffer
00:08:33unimaginable pain
00:08:34until she faints.
00:08:35Your Majesty.
00:08:37Lady Goodwin,
00:08:38what exactly are your intentions?
00:08:40Because of what's happening,
00:08:41His Majesty is anxious.
00:08:42You defy the Imperial will
00:08:43and now you alarm the others.
00:08:45Since when did you learn medicine?
00:08:46You're so presumptuous.
00:08:47For the sake of gaining favor,
00:08:48you invent the method
00:08:50and rashly speak out of turn?
00:08:51You deserve debt.
00:08:52Your Majesty,
00:08:53I'm not speaking recklessly here.
00:08:55I'm merely stating the facts.
00:08:56Stating the facts?
00:08:57You're only doing this
00:08:58to curry favor with His Majesty.
00:09:00Exploiting the moment
00:09:01to win Imperial grace.
00:09:02Her Majesty treated you well,
00:09:04and this is how you repay her?
00:09:06Doesn't your conscience hurt?
00:09:08Your Majesty,
00:09:09I have no ill intent.
00:09:10I have seen this condition
00:09:11in ancient texts.
00:09:12If you do not allow me
00:09:13to treat her,
00:09:14you will surely regret it.
00:09:14How dare you?
00:09:15Lady Goodwin,
00:09:16you dare threaten His Majesty?
00:09:17Someone slap her!
00:09:21Please lay her down!
00:09:22Mother,
00:09:22Mother Sigh!
00:09:23How dare you act so outrageously!
00:09:24Mother!
00:09:25Your Majesty,
00:09:26Your Majesty,
00:09:27please let me check her.
00:09:42Your Majesty!
00:09:43Your Majesty!
00:09:45Your Majesty!
00:09:45Is...
00:09:46She has passed away!
00:09:48Mother!
00:09:49Mother!
00:09:50Your Majesty!
00:09:52Your Majesty!
00:09:55I have failed in my filial duties!
00:09:55Your Majesty!
00:09:56Her Majesty has left this world!
00:09:57The urgent thing now is
00:09:59for the Imperial Astronomer
00:10:00to select a day
00:10:00for her grand funeral!
00:10:02Her Majesty had great grace
00:10:03and has ascended to heaven!
00:10:04It was the end of her life,
00:10:05a complete life!
00:10:06Your Majesty,
00:10:07please stay strong for now!
00:10:08Your Majesty!
00:10:09She is not gone yet!
00:10:10Shut up!
00:10:11What do you know of medicine?
00:10:12Her Majesty has ascended to heaven!
00:10:13How can you bewitch us
00:10:14with your nonsense?
00:10:16How could you just die, Mother?
00:10:18I have failed in my filial duties!
00:10:20Your Majesty!
00:10:23Your Majesty!
00:10:24Your Majesty!
00:10:25Your Majesty!
00:10:27He has overcome its sorrow
00:10:28and has just fainted.
00:10:29He's not in danger.
00:10:30Your Majesty,
00:10:31her spirit is in heaven.
00:10:32She would not wish
00:10:33to see you so heartbroken.
00:10:34I will go prepare
00:10:35a calming decoction
00:10:36so he can take it
00:10:37once he wakes.
00:10:38He will be well.
00:10:40Servants!
00:10:41Help, His Majesty!
00:10:48Mother!
00:10:49Mother!
00:10:51Mother!
00:10:53Your Majesty,
00:10:54you are awake.
00:10:58I want to see my mother!
00:11:00Your Majesty!
00:11:01Mother!
00:11:05Move aside!
00:11:07My lady,
00:11:08what are you doing?
00:11:09Stop it right now!
00:11:10Stay with me.
00:11:10Come on.
00:11:11Eight,
00:11:11nine,
00:11:12ten,
00:11:12eleven,
00:11:13twelve.
00:11:14Stop it!
00:11:18Your Majesty,
00:11:19hang in there.
00:11:19Stop that!
00:11:21How dare you?
00:11:22How could you defile her Majesty?
00:11:23Remove your filthy hands
00:11:24from her right now!
00:11:28Guys!
00:11:29She has desecrated her Majesty!
00:11:32Her Majesty has boundless fortune.
00:11:34She lives again.
00:11:35Lady Goodwin!
00:11:36how dare you desecrate her Majesty!
00:11:38You really want to die!
00:11:39You dare to commit such an outrageous act on her Majesty, you vile woman?
00:11:43Lady Goodwin,
00:11:44you defied orders and offended authority, a capital crime!
00:11:47Your Majesty, I have not offended her Majesty.
00:11:49I was saving her life!
00:11:51My mother is alive.
00:11:54Ah, your Majesty, please don't take the lady's words to heart.
00:11:57She's merely speaking nonsense from excessive grief.
00:12:00Is what she said truly mere nonsense?
00:12:02Your Majesty, her Majesty's passing is an indisputable fact.
00:12:06Even if Hippocrates were alive, there's nothing he can do to revive her.
00:12:09Lady Goodwin, because of your loyalty, I will not pursue your crime of desecration.
00:12:14Leave at once.
00:12:15Your Majesty, it is true that I truly saved her Majesty.
00:12:18I'm willing to stake my life on it.
00:12:19If you don't believe me, you will surely regret it.
00:12:22Your Majesty, Lady Goodwin is severely mad.
00:12:24Don't let her disturb her Majesty again.
00:12:26Your Majesty, don't trust their diagnosis, or you will come to regret this.
00:12:29Nonsense!
00:12:30Her Majesty has no pulse.
00:12:32It's too late.
00:12:33Stop spouting more of your nonsense.
00:12:35It's a solid moment.
00:12:35Enough.
00:12:36My mother's death has devastated me.
00:12:38If you truly wish to mourn my mother, stop this absurd talk at once.
00:12:42Your Majesty, I'm not speaking madness.
00:12:44I have really saved Her Majesty just now.
00:12:46Guards, drag this mad woman out.
00:12:49Your Majesty, release me!
00:12:51Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, you will surely regret it.
00:12:54Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
00:12:56Your Majesty!
00:12:57The Empress Dowager has passed away!
00:13:02Your Majesty.
00:13:03Oh, mother.
00:13:06Your Majesty.
00:13:07Your Majesty.
00:13:14Her Majesty must be placed in the coffin now.
00:13:17Now is the time that comes once in a century.
00:13:20This can ensure the nation's enduring prosperity, harmonious climate, and long-lasting peace.
00:13:26Delay may lead to disaster.
00:13:28My mother has just died!
00:13:30I...
00:13:30Your Majesty.
00:13:31I dare not speak rashly.
00:13:33The heavenly signs indicated this.
00:13:35For the sake of the nation, for the people's well-being, please consider the greater picture.
00:13:41Your Majesty.
00:13:42Once Her Majesty's spirit is in heaven, she will understand your situation.
00:13:47This moment fades in the blink of an eye.
00:13:49Please make a swift decision.
00:13:51Delaying this may breed misfortune.
00:13:54Your Majesty, the moment must not be missed.
00:13:56For the nation, for the people.
00:13:59Convey my edict.
00:14:01Prepare the funeral.
00:14:24Her Majesty's spirit would not wish to see you so heartbroken, Your Majesty.
00:14:27Mother!
00:14:29I failed at my filial duties.
00:14:31Why did you leave me so soon?
00:14:34The moment has arrived.
00:14:36Seal the coffin.
00:14:44Why did you leave me so soon, Mother?
00:14:47Why are you gone so soon?
00:14:50Don't seal the coffin!
00:14:51Your Majesty, it cannot be sealed.
00:14:54How dare you!
00:14:55Here you go again!
00:14:56Your Majesty, Her Majesty isn't dead.
00:14:58It must not be sealed.
00:14:59You desecrated the Empress Dowager.
00:15:01I already spared you once.
00:15:02Now you come to disrupt the funeral rites?
00:15:04Are you tired of living, huh?
00:15:08Mr. Chilton declared her gone.
00:15:10You're spreading deceit here.
00:15:11What is your intention?
00:15:12Your Majesty, if Her Majesty has truly passed, you may take my life as you please.
00:15:16But Her Majesty is not dead.
00:15:20You court death, you wretch!
00:15:21How dare you cause trouble!
00:15:23My life is for yours to do as you please.
00:15:25If you dare to wager, I assure you Her Majesty is not dead.
00:15:29You fool!
00:15:30A lowly, insolent wretch like you is unfit to bet with me.
00:15:33Her passing is an ironclad fact.
00:15:35You obstruct a funeral rites.
00:15:37What are you after?
00:15:38Seal it!
00:15:41You cannot see it!
00:15:42Quickly, stop her!
00:15:43Your Majesty!
00:15:44Your Majesty!
00:15:44Oh, no.
00:15:44Your Majesty, please wake up!
00:15:46You have to wake up now!
00:15:46That girl has really gone crazy.
00:15:49Someone stop her now!
00:15:50What's going on?
00:15:52How can this be?
00:15:53Your Majesty!
00:15:53She just...
00:15:54Your Majesty!
00:15:56Please, you need to wake up!
00:15:57Oh, no.
00:15:58Not again.
00:16:00What is she doing?
00:16:02What madness is this?
00:16:04She...
00:16:04She purveys Her Majesty's body utterly unforgivable!
00:16:13Your Majesty!
00:16:14If you don't wake up, your son will hear that cracks nonsense and bury you alive!
00:16:17Please, Your Majesty!
00:16:18Your Majesty, please wake up!
00:16:24Your Majesty, forgive us!
00:16:25We swear we will deal with this deranged woman immediately!
00:16:28Lady Goodwin!
00:16:29How can you disrespect Her Majesty's remains?
00:16:32You deserve a thousand deaths!
00:16:34Your Majesty, this wretch has gone mad!
00:16:36She's defiling Her Majesty's body!
00:16:38It's unforgivable!
00:16:39Oh, this is simply outrageous!
00:16:43Mother, I'm so sorry for this.
00:16:46I'm so sorry for letting you suffer such disgrace!
00:16:48Her Majesty was so noble and honored.
00:16:50She was esteemed in life!
00:16:52Who would have thought after death she'd suffer such insults?
00:16:54How could she now rest in peace in the netherworld?
00:16:57Your Majesty, how could Lady Goodwin do this?
00:17:01Such grave defilement violates the Karim.
00:17:04It may provoke Heaven's wrath and bring down disasters!
00:17:07Guards!
00:17:08Seize Lady Goodwin!
00:17:12Your Majesty, Her Majesty's only in a death-like sleep.
00:17:15I can still revive her!
00:17:17Nonsense!
00:17:17No one can bring the dead back to life in this world!
00:17:20Your Majesty, death is irreversible if she's speaking superstition!
00:17:25Your Majesty, I have seen it in ancient texts!
00:17:28This method can truly save lives!
00:17:30Her Majesty's pulse has fully stopped!
00:17:32She's not breathing!
00:17:33These are unmistakable signs of demise!
00:17:35Where did you learn those crooked methods?
00:17:37How dare you use them on her?
00:17:38You're seeking death!
00:17:39Your Majesty, I don't think you wish to bear such regrets!
00:17:42You've only read a few medical books!
00:17:44You even dare to question the imperial physicians!
00:17:46Pure nonsense!
00:17:47Your Majesty, I have no ill intentions!
00:17:50Please believe what I say!
00:17:51Her Majesty's only in a deep sleep!
00:17:53Insolent!
00:17:53Mr. Chilton's a renowned physician!
00:17:55He has pronounced her passing!
00:17:56You hasn't read medical books properly!
00:17:58Dare to spout nonsense!
00:17:59You're skimming something!
00:18:00Your Majesty, she's simply spouting nonsense!
00:18:03I have practiced medicine for decades, and I have never heard of this death-like sleep!
00:18:07Her Majesty already passed!
00:18:09This is an indisputable fact!
00:18:10Mr. Chilton!
00:18:11How can you make such a rash judgment on death?
00:18:13Be quiet, Willa!
00:18:14Stop this nonsense!
00:18:16My mother has long been ill!
00:18:19They have tried everything, but were powerless to reverse her fate!
00:18:24Lady Goodwin, Her Majesty was always kind to you, yet you show no gratitude!
00:18:28Instead, you commit disobedient and unfilial acts!
00:18:31Quickly, drag her out of Europe once!
00:18:33How dare you!
00:18:34This is Her Majesty!
00:18:35You're so disrespectful!
00:18:36Guards, drag this woman away quickly!
00:18:40Your Majesty!
00:18:41Your Majesty, wake up!
00:18:42You're courting death!
00:18:44Your Majesty, wake up!
00:18:46If not, you'll be buried alive!
00:18:47Even my patience has its limits, Willa!
00:18:49If you dare disturb my mother's peace again, that's it!
00:18:53I will see to it you are punished without mercy!
00:18:56Your Majesty, all I ask is that you give me a moment to revive her!
00:19:01If I can't revive Her Majesty, then put me to death!
00:19:04What was that?
00:19:05Who are you to ask anything?
00:19:07Do you really think you are Hippocrates?
00:19:08Capable of raising the dead?
00:19:10I'm not claiming I can bring back the dead, but I can say with certainty, Her Majesty is
00:19:14not dead!
00:19:14That's absurd!
00:19:15Her Majesty has gone to heaven!
00:19:17You despicable witch!
00:19:18Don't you spout nonsense here!
00:19:20Misleading is smart!
00:19:21Mr. Chilton, Her Majesty is not dead, yet you declared it!
00:19:24Aren't you afraid she'll have your family destroyed?
00:19:26Lady Goodwin, shut your mouth!
00:19:27I would not speak rashly about Her Majesty's demise!
00:19:30I have made the diagnosis, and I say, Her Majesty has indeed passed away!
00:19:37Diagnosis?
00:19:38All you conducted was a hasty pulse check, and you already declared her dead!
00:19:41Mr. Chilton, do you dare to perform that test again in front of all of us?
00:19:45Your Majesty, I've practiced medicine for a long time!
00:19:48I have never made a mistake!
00:19:49Her Majesty has truly ceased to have a pulse at all!
00:19:53Guards, drag that woman away already!
00:19:55Your Majesty!
00:19:56Your Majesty!
00:19:57Drag her away!
00:19:58Your Majesty!
00:19:59Move!
00:19:59Your Majesty!
00:20:01Don't do anything you'll regret!
00:20:02Your Majesty!
00:20:07Your Majesty!
00:20:08Mother!
00:20:09Mother!
00:20:10I'm unfilial!
00:20:12I've let you suffer such humiliation!
00:20:15Your Majesty!
00:20:16What happened is not your fault at all!
00:20:19Her Majesty's spirit in heaven must surely detest Lady Goodwin most deeply!
00:20:24Rest assured, Your Majesty!
00:20:27We will see that Vile Woman is dealt with swiftly!
00:20:29To avenge Her Majesty's great grievances!
00:20:32To avenge Her Majesty's great grievances!
00:20:33Mother, I will have her torn into prison!
00:20:37Your Majesty!
00:20:38The dead cannot return!
00:20:39Please steady yourself now!
00:20:42Her Majesty's life was for the realm!
00:20:44A life of complete merit!
00:20:46She has ascended to heaven!
00:20:49Your Majesty!
00:20:50Your Majesty!
00:20:50Seal the coffin!
00:20:52It must not be sealed!
00:20:53You cannot seal it!
00:20:56How dare you!
00:20:57You have no respect at all!
00:20:59Your Majesty!
00:21:00You cannot seal it!
00:21:01Her Majesty isn't dead!
00:21:04Well, uh, how dare you halt the unconfident!
00:21:06Do you wish to deny her peace at all?
00:21:08And her rightful transcendence?
00:21:09You are so malicious!
00:21:10Aren't you afraid of judgment?
00:21:13Your Majesty!
00:21:14The moment is upon us!
00:21:15Any further delay may lead to unforeseen events!
00:21:18Your Majesty!
00:21:18I have said it before!
00:21:20Her Majesty has passed!
00:21:21And Lady Goodwin already made trouble!
00:21:22She shows no respect at all!
00:21:24You defiled and assaulted my mother!
00:21:26You won't escape again!
00:21:27Guards!
00:21:28Drag her away!
00:21:29To await punishment!
00:21:31Your Majesty!
00:21:31Your Majesty!
00:21:32You can't entomb her like this!
00:21:34If you bury her alive,
00:21:35she will come to you in your dreams,
00:21:36questioning why you did that!
00:21:38Enough!
00:21:38I don't wish to hear any more
00:21:40of your lunatic ravings!
00:21:41Your Majesty!
00:21:42I shall have you torn apart by horses!
00:21:44Your Majesty!
00:21:45I swear I'm not speaking madness!
00:21:46Her Majesty's not dead!
00:21:47I'm willing to stake my life on it!
00:21:50Your Majesty!
00:21:51Your Majesty!
00:21:52Your Majesty!
00:21:53Your Majesty!
00:21:54Your Majesty!
00:21:55Willa defied the Empress Dowager!
00:21:57Spread false lies!
00:21:58That imperil the state!
00:21:59It's unforgivable!
00:21:59Consort Jasmine!
00:22:00You're commiserating joyfully now!
00:22:02But later you will cry miserably!
00:22:03Someday you might beg my forgiveness
00:22:04and I won't forgive you!
00:22:06Who do you think you are?
00:22:07Why would I beg you?
00:22:09Please don't flatter yourself!
00:22:11Of course you won't beg me now!
00:22:12But when Her Majesty wakes up,
00:22:14you'll realize how foolish you've been!
00:22:15Just don't cry or beg me for forgiveness!
00:22:21And you as well!
00:22:22All of you will beg me for forgiveness!
00:22:24Your Majesty!
00:22:25You will as well!
00:22:28This is nonsensical!
00:22:29Why would I ever beg you?
00:22:31Ridiculous!
00:22:32You dare threaten us?
00:22:34You'd better insure your own life first
00:22:35before you make threats!
00:22:39Your Majesty!
00:22:40Lady Goodwin speaks complete nonsense!
00:22:43It's insolence!
00:22:43I shall discipline her for Your Majesty!
00:22:45Your Majesty!
00:22:46Every word I've spoken is true!
00:22:47Her Majesty is still alive!
00:22:49I'm begging you, believe me!
00:22:50Hold your tongue!
00:22:52Her Majesty passed away!
00:22:53And you're still spouting nonsense here?
00:22:55Defiling her body!
00:22:56Your crime is unforgivable!
00:22:58Your Majesty, please wait a moment!
00:22:59Her Majesty is still alive!
00:23:02You vile wretch!
00:23:04You heard what Mr. Chilton just said!
00:23:05You still spew this nonsense?
00:23:07Defiling her body alone is unforgivable!
00:23:09Lady Goodwin, watch your tongue!
00:23:11Her Majesty has ascended to heaven!
00:23:13The nation knows it!
00:23:14You're bewitching the people with your evil talk!
00:23:16Your Majesty, I am only speaking the truth!
00:23:19Her Majesty is still alive!
00:23:20You will regret this!
00:23:21You will surely regret it!
00:23:23Shut up!
00:23:24If you talk nonsense again, I will execute you on the spot!
00:23:27Your Majesty, Willa shouted in the memorial hall and defiled Her Majesty!
00:23:32And now she commenced insubordination!
00:23:34Her crime is intolerable!
00:23:35Her Majesty, such a demon!
00:23:37Without killing her is it possible to quell the public anger and uphold national law!
00:23:43Yes! Kill her!
00:23:44That's right! Kill her at once!
00:23:45Kill her! Kill her!
00:23:48What's this?
00:23:49Where am I?
00:23:52Your Majesty, this vile wretch dares to defile Her Majesty!
00:23:57I'll flay her a thousand times!
00:23:59Defend Her Majesty's anger!
00:24:01Enough!
00:24:03Today is my mother's funeral!
00:24:05No blood should be shed!
00:24:06You wretch!
00:24:07You're lucky!
00:24:08I'll spare you this time!
00:24:12Seal it!
00:24:15What are you doing?
00:24:16Hurry up!
00:24:17What's the holdup?
00:24:18Don't seal it!
00:24:18You will incur heaven's wrath if you do this!
00:24:20This again?
00:24:21If you wish to die, I shall oblige!
00:24:23Your Majesty!
00:24:24Please, I'm speaking the truth!
00:24:25Her Majesty is truly not dead!
00:24:27Absurd!
00:24:30Time and again, you keep testing my limits!
00:24:33My mother is dead!
00:24:34You do not stay in your place!
00:24:35You spout nonsense and disrupt the funeral!
00:24:37You violated her!
00:24:38You deserve death!
00:24:40Hey!
00:24:43Did you hear that?
00:24:46Yes, I heard it.
00:24:47But it could be a feigned corpse?
00:24:51Don't talk nonsense!
00:24:54I have not gone mad, nor have I shown disrespect!
00:24:57Your Majesty, you will regret this!
00:25:00This will come back to haunt you!
00:25:02A feigned corpse!
00:25:03A feigned corpse!
00:25:04A feigned corpse!
00:25:05Shut up!
00:25:06Her Majesty has just passed!
00:25:08How dare you spout nonsense here!
00:25:09The coffin!
00:25:10Something moved inside!
00:25:12Guards!
00:25:13Take this babbling serpent away!
00:25:14Use those cowards!
00:25:15Your Majesty!
00:25:16I'm not talking nonsense!
00:25:17Your Majesty!
00:25:17There was noise!
00:25:18Something moved!
00:25:19Your Majesty!
00:25:20Your Majesty!
00:25:23It's a feigned corpse!
00:25:25Your Majesty!
00:25:26Choose your words well!
00:25:27It could be the coffin wood!
00:25:29The wood warped due to moisture causing that strange noise!
00:25:32There's no such thing as a feigned corpse!
00:25:34But clearly, the coffin is moving!
00:25:36Your Majesty!
00:25:37Your health is what matters now!
00:25:39You must not let this nonsense trouble your mind and body!
00:25:42Perhaps this morning hall is too dark today!
00:25:44Oh, and it led to hallucinations!
00:25:46Yes!
00:25:46That's it!
00:25:47Her Majesty is awake!
00:25:48She has awakened!
00:25:49Lady Goodwin!
00:25:50Don't spout this nonsense again!
00:25:52You're disturbing the peace!
00:25:53Her Majesty is already gone!
00:25:54Her Majesty is awake!
00:25:55Hey, wait!
00:25:57Oh no!
00:25:58How can this be possible?
00:26:00Her Majesty!
00:26:06A faint corpse!
00:26:07A faint corpse!
00:26:08She has awakened!
00:26:12Mother!
00:26:13Mother!
00:26:14Mother!
00:26:18Mother!
00:26:18I am so hungry!
00:26:21I'm starving!
00:26:23Mother!
00:26:23My dear son!
00:26:25My dear son!
00:26:26Mother!
00:26:28My son!
00:26:30I should have already died!
00:26:34It's so good you're all right!
00:26:36I am glad that you have awakened, Your Majesty!
00:26:39Lady Goodwin!
00:26:40You are so brave!
00:26:42Oh, Your Majesty!
00:26:43You've been resurrected!
00:26:45It is Heaven's blessing!
00:26:48It's a great joy for our dynasty!
00:26:49Your Majesty!
00:26:52Her Majesty is alive!
00:26:54Your Majesty is blessed by Heaven!
00:26:56turning misfortune into fortune!
00:26:59Come here to...
00:27:00No!
00:27:01You check on my mother!
00:27:06Your Majesty!
00:27:07She's no longer in danger!
00:27:11Secret medicine pills!
00:27:13Let Her Majesty take them to regulate the body!
00:27:15So she will live a long life!
00:27:17You are injured!
00:27:19I'm fine!
00:27:20You Imperial quacks!
00:27:22You almost killed my mother!
00:27:24And brought unnecessary suffering to Willa!
00:27:27Your Majesty!
00:27:28Spare me!
00:27:29Please spare my life!
00:27:30Our medical skills are inadequate!
00:27:32We almost caused a great mishap!
00:27:42Spare my life!
00:27:43Please spare me!
00:27:44Spare me, Your Majesty!
00:27:44Please spare me!
00:27:45I know I deserve death!
00:27:46My skills were inadequate!
00:27:48It almost caused a great mishap!
00:27:51Your incompetence is what caused this!
00:27:52I now see malice in your actions!
00:27:55You've lost all decency!
00:27:57You almost had me bury my mother alive!
00:28:00You nearly made me unfilial towards my mother!
00:28:02It would be no loss if you died!
00:28:04Your Majesty!
00:28:05Your Majesty!
00:28:05I've been wronged here!
00:28:06When I was diagnosing,
00:28:08Her Majesty's pulse was indeed extremely weak at that time!
00:28:12It was...
00:28:12With such poor medical skills!
00:28:14You still argue with me?
00:28:16Guards!
00:28:16Majesty!
00:28:17Your Majesty!
00:28:18We truly did not know Lady Goodwin had such skills as to bring the dead back to life!
00:28:23Your Majesty!
00:28:24Your Majesty!
00:28:25My diagnosis of Her Majesty was accurate!
00:28:28But we were both ignorant about Lady Goodwin's miraculous kills!
00:28:33Practicing for years, we have never seen such kills!
00:28:36Go beat them to death!
00:28:39Lady Goodwin, please save me!
00:28:41Lady Goodwin, save my life!
00:28:43Please, Lady Goodwin, save us!
00:28:44The both of you have exquisite skills!
00:28:46You should be serving the world and the people!
00:28:48But your narrow-mindedness nearly caused a disaster!
00:28:50Her Majesty is in good health now!
00:28:52You should feel fortunate!
00:28:53So reflect on your faults instead of begging for mercy!
00:28:57When I was semi-conscious,
00:28:59I heard people saying I had passed away!
00:29:03Especially you two!
00:29:04You just couldn't wait for me to die, could you?
00:29:07Your Majesty!
00:29:08Your Majesty!
00:29:08I have never harbored such thoughts!
00:29:10I'm utterly loyal to you!
00:29:11Both Sun and the Moon can bear witness to that!
00:29:14Yes, that's right!
00:29:16I would not hesitate to give my life in exchange for Your Majesty's good health, I swear!
00:29:26Your Majesty!
00:29:27Oh, the method done by Lady Goodwin is something we've never seen before!
00:29:33Such an unconventional method!
00:29:35We couldn't accept it!
00:29:36Your Majesty!
00:29:37I'm wholeheartedly loyal to you, without a trace of malice!
00:29:43It's the Noble Consort!
00:29:44The Noble Consort cannot tolerate Lady Goodwin!
00:29:47She slandered her for not understanding medicine!
00:29:49It was her!
00:29:50I don't understand medicine either!
00:29:52Enough!
00:29:53You quacks harm people!
00:29:54How dare you fabricate these lies!
00:29:56You accused Lady Goodwin!
00:29:57It's simply unforgivable!
00:30:00Remove Mr. Chilton as Medical Bureau Chief!
00:30:03Execute them!
00:30:04Please, Your Majesty!
00:30:06Spare me!
00:30:06Please, Your Majesty!
00:30:07My son, it's fine.
00:30:09Just spare their lives.
00:30:10Mother is merciful, so I will spare you.
00:30:12But you will pay.
00:30:13Guards!
00:30:14Strip their positions!
00:30:15They're now commoners and barred from medicine forever!
00:30:17Oh, Your Majesty!
00:30:22Mother, how do you feel?
00:30:23I am feeling much better.
00:30:25You saved my mother.
00:30:26I wish to make you consort.
00:30:30Saving Her Majesty is my duty.
00:30:31I take no credit.
00:30:33I merely did my best.
00:30:34Thanks to the Emperor's boundless fortune,
00:30:36Her Majesty was saved from danger.
00:30:37Consort Willa, you saved my life.
00:30:40Your devotion humbles me.
00:30:42From now on in this palace,
00:30:43if anyone bullies you, just come to me.
00:30:46Thank you, Majesty, for your grace.
00:30:48I wish only to serve at your side
00:30:49and offer what help I can.
00:30:51Mother, you just woke.
00:30:53You should rest.
00:30:53My son, I almost lost my life moments ago.
00:30:57There are things that I really need to tell you.
00:30:59You have failed to discern people's true nature.
00:31:03It almost caused a disaster.
00:31:05Yes.
00:31:06Just now, you and the rest wanted to kill Consort Willa.
00:31:09Why, she is such a kind girl.
00:31:10You did not protect her well.
00:31:12Instead, you listened to those vile-hearted people.
00:31:14You are so foolish.
00:31:16You speak the utmost truth.
00:31:18I should not have believed the slander.
00:31:19She is gentle and graceful.
00:31:21She alone saved your life.
00:31:22I swear to you, I will surely treat her well.
00:31:26Consort Jasmine,
00:31:27you've led the harem for so many years,
00:31:29yet you still can't distinguish right from wrong.
00:31:31Your Majesty,
00:31:32I was confused for a moment.
00:31:34I believe the physicians.
00:31:35I also truly did not know
00:31:36Willa was well-versed in medicine.
00:31:38Confused for a moment?
00:31:40You almost killed me.
00:31:41My son,
00:31:42I think it's time to make some changes to the harem.
00:31:45You are right, Mother.
00:31:46I have been lax in ruling.
00:31:48That's why the harem is lacking discipline.
00:31:51Truly,
00:31:52I didn't know Willa was well-versed in medicine.
00:31:54That's why I...
00:31:55You did, Your Highness.
00:31:57I told you from the very beginning.
00:31:58I could treat Her Majesty.
00:31:59It was you who said I had ill intentions,
00:32:01saying I wanted to harm Her Majesty.
00:32:03I wouldn't dare.
00:32:04I was concerned for Her Majesty.
00:32:05I was too worried.
00:32:07Concerned?
00:32:08I see you as having ulterior motives.
00:32:11As a noble consort,
00:32:12not only have you failed to fulfill your duties,
00:32:14but when Consort Willa was giving aid,
00:32:16you didn't stop framing her at every turn.
00:32:18I'll calm your anger.
00:32:19I won't do it again.
00:32:20I know my mistake.
00:32:21I beseeched Your Majesty to forgive me.
00:32:23She just got lucky guessing this.
00:32:24She thinks she cured the Empress Dowager
00:32:26and is a big hero.
00:32:27Please, Willa.
00:32:28Please listen.
00:32:29I offer you an apology.
00:32:31I've been blind and foolish.
00:32:32I wrongly accused you.
00:32:33Please don't hold any grudges.
00:32:34Please just forgive me this time.
00:32:35I'm not senile.
00:32:36I know what I heard.
00:32:37You are certainly not blind or foolish.
00:32:39When Consort Willa said I was alive,
00:32:41you were fanning the flames before the Emperor,
00:32:43saying she harbored ill intentions.
00:32:45What intentions do you have?
00:32:47Her Majesty,
00:32:48I know I was wrong.
00:32:49I was concerned about Your Majesty's state.
00:32:50I was too worried.
00:32:51I have served Your Majesty for many years.
00:32:53Do you still not trust me?
00:32:55I am utterly loyal to you.
00:32:56This time it truly was unintentional.
00:32:58Unintentional?
00:32:59Hm.
00:33:00I simply fainted for a moment, that's all.
00:33:02I was not beyond consciousness.
00:33:04I see you clearly.
00:33:05I know what kind of person you are.
00:33:07People with a vicious heart like you,
00:33:08who are without virtue or talents,
00:33:10are unworthy of their rank.
00:33:14Your Majesty!
00:33:15I know my mistake!
00:33:16I won't do it again!
00:33:18Your Majesty!
00:33:19Please, Your Majesty, plead on my behalf!
00:33:21I truly made a foolish mistake, Your Majesty!
00:33:25So now you're frightened?
00:33:26When you tried to kill Consort Willa,
00:33:28did you consider if she was frightened?
00:33:30I truly didn't know that Willa is well-versed in medicine.
00:33:32I was concerned for Your Majesty.
00:33:34I was too worried.
00:33:35The unaware is not guilty.
00:33:37Your Majesty, please spare me this time!
00:33:38Since you claim yourself to be unaware,
00:33:41then how exactly did you know I was dead?
00:33:43The physician said that, so I...
00:33:45Enough!
00:33:46I think you simply cannot wait for me to die at last,
00:33:49so you could control the harem!
00:33:51No!
00:33:51I am truly wrong!
00:33:52I never did!
00:33:54I wouldn't be shocked if you never cared about me at all!
00:33:57You fear nothing but a lack of chaos!
00:33:58My son, you are the Emperor.
00:34:00You must be even more discerning of right and wrong.
00:34:03If this mistake is not sternly punished,
00:34:05how can we set an example?
00:34:06Ponsor Jasmine,
00:34:08your actions today were indeed improper.
00:34:10Your Majesty, understand who I am.
00:34:13When I first came to know you,
00:34:14I risked my own life to save yours.
00:34:16How could I possibly harm Her Majesty?
00:34:18Of course I know.
00:34:19I understand Your Majesty's burden,
00:34:21but I am truly deeply wronged.
00:34:23I am utterly loyal to Her Majesty
00:34:25and harbor no second thoughts.
00:34:29There isn't a hint of disrespect.
00:34:31I don't know.
00:34:34Stop!
00:34:48Go down and look.
00:34:50Quick, go!
00:34:58So cold, so hungry.
00:35:05Here.
00:35:07Eat quickly to regain your strength.
00:35:10Search for him!
00:35:11We must find him!
00:35:13Even if it's just his corpse,
00:35:14or we answer to Consort Helen!
00:35:16Father favors Consort Helen.
00:35:17She really wants me dead.
00:35:19Don't make a sound.
00:35:21I'll lead them away.
00:35:22Who are you?
00:35:22Why do you want to help me?
00:35:24Shh.
00:35:25Just be quiet.
00:35:26They're coming.
00:35:27There's no trace of him.
00:35:28Could he have flown away?
00:35:29Keep searching!
00:35:30Excuse me, sirs.
00:35:31What are you looking for?
00:35:32Don't meddle in our affairs, kid.
00:35:33We're looking for a boy who fell in the water.
00:35:35Have you seen him?
00:35:35Oh, I just saw one.
00:35:36He was running that way.
00:35:37Are you sure?
00:35:38I am.
00:35:39I saw him with my own eyes.
00:35:40He ran very fast.
00:35:41You better hurry!
00:35:42Go!
00:35:42Go!
00:35:47Yes, I will always remember that time.
00:35:50You risked your own life to save me from danger.
00:35:54What you did, I shall never forget.
00:35:58Saving your majesty was my good fortune.
00:36:01I have never regretted it.
00:36:06Mother, considering she once saved my life,
00:36:09I asked that you spare her this time.
00:36:12It's up to you.
00:36:13Handle it as you see fit.
00:36:15She is no longer sentenced to death,
00:36:17but she'll be punished.
00:36:19Her virtue does not match her rank.
00:36:21She is demoted and sent to the Cold Palace.
00:36:24I accept the punishment.
00:36:25I am warning you.
00:36:26For the sake of the Emperor,
00:36:27I will spare you this time.
00:36:29But if you ever cause trouble again,
00:36:31I won't let you off easily.
00:36:32I wouldn't dare.
00:36:34I will behave.
00:36:35I won't cause trouble.
00:36:37Consort Willa,
00:36:38you have saved my life.
00:36:39This kindness must be repaid.
00:36:41Whatever you want,
00:36:42just ask for it.
00:36:43I know my place.
00:36:44I take no credit.
00:36:45I simply did my best.
00:36:46Thanks to the Emperor's fortune,
00:36:48your majesty was saved from danger.
00:36:51Consort Willa,
00:36:52how can I not reward you?
00:36:53It is what you deserve.
00:36:55Curse you.
00:36:56I must find a chance to get rid of you.
00:36:58If the Emperor finds out
00:36:59it was you who saved him,
00:37:01I will have nothing.
00:37:02Yes, Consort Willa,
00:37:03Her Majesty's words are golden.
00:37:05This is your good fortune.
00:37:06It is my mother's wish.
00:37:08Willa,
00:37:08do not refuse.
00:37:10The Empress Dowager now dislikes Jasmine.
00:37:12She won't run rampant much longer.
00:37:14I avenge the old Willa.
00:37:16Your majesty,
00:37:18I wish to leave the palace.
00:37:19I wish to travel the whole world
00:37:21and experience its prosperity.
00:37:23You'll leave?
00:37:25You'll leave?
00:37:27But,
00:37:28I thought you would wish for jewelry
00:37:30or treasures
00:37:31or even a higher status.
00:37:32Your majesty,
00:37:33you mustn't consent to her wish.
00:37:34If this matter were to spread,
00:37:36where would our dignity be?
00:37:38You want to leave?
00:37:39Wishful thinking.
00:37:40You dared make such an outrageous request.
00:37:42Your majesties will not let you off.
00:37:44Your highness,
00:37:45have you gone mad?
00:37:46You are his majesty's consular,
00:37:47bearing the duty
00:37:48of continuing the royal lineage
00:37:49as is proper.
00:37:50You dared to leave the palace?
00:37:51A woman should follow her husband.
00:37:54Do you understand?
00:37:55Leaving the palace,
00:37:56your highness,
00:37:57where will the royal face be?
00:37:58If you leave,
00:37:59the people will ridicule his majesty.
00:38:01This will put his majesty
00:38:03in a grave injustice.
00:38:05Your highness,
00:38:06your every word and deed
00:38:07represents the royal face.
00:38:09You should adhere to the rights
00:38:10and abide by the royal rules.
00:38:12You must not overstep.
00:38:14She wants to leave the palace.
00:38:16You really are different
00:38:17from the others.
00:38:18I have met countless people,
00:38:19but never has there been a woman
00:38:20who's said such things before.
00:38:22What they want is
00:38:23either rewards
00:38:24or a lifetime of honor and wealth.
00:38:26But your majesty,
00:38:27you cannot let her have her way.
00:38:29She's a consort of the harem.
00:38:31How can she be so capricious?
00:38:33Please think twice.
00:38:34If consorts can leave
00:38:35the palace at will,
00:38:36who will take the rule seriously?
00:38:38I fear it will shake
00:38:39the state's court.
00:38:40Please,
00:38:40these consorts of the harem
00:38:41simply cannot come and go.
00:38:43What?
00:38:43What a disgrace.
00:38:45Her highness's request
00:38:46disregards the quorum of the palace.
00:38:48She's truly disrespectful.
00:38:49Your majesty,
00:38:50for the sake of the realm,
00:38:51severely punish her
00:38:52as a warning to others.
00:38:54Mother,
00:38:55this matter
00:38:56is very serious.
00:38:58We can't.
00:38:59My words are golden decrees.
00:39:01How can I break my words?
00:39:02But your majesty,
00:39:03this is against propriety.
00:39:05Concert Willa
00:39:06is the consort of the harem.
00:39:07She's a model for all women,
00:39:09but
00:39:09she wants to leave the palace?
00:39:11It's simply disrespectful to norms,
00:39:13utterly lacking in shame.
00:39:15Your majesty,
00:39:16if she leaves the palace,
00:39:18it would violate ethics and morals.
00:39:19She would draw the criticism
00:39:20of the world.
00:39:21I need not be taught to govern.
00:39:24Can't a woman have her own world?
00:39:25She may go wherever she wishes.
00:39:27I shall grant your wish.
00:39:29Not unless
00:39:30you all believe
00:39:30a woman should be trapped
00:39:31in the palace for a life,
00:39:32wasting her years in vain.
00:39:33No, your majesty.
00:39:34We wouldn't dare.
00:39:35It's just,
00:39:36if consorts enter
00:39:37and leave the palace at will,
00:39:38it
00:39:39might harm the royal family's dignity.
00:39:41Your majesty,
00:39:42please,
00:39:42this matter requires careful handling.
00:39:45Concert Willa has a special status.
00:39:46Everything she does
00:39:47reflects the royal family.
00:39:49If this sets a precedent
00:39:50and all the other consorts follow suit,
00:39:53wouldn't the harem fall into chaos?
00:39:54I have made my decision.
00:39:56No more debate.
00:39:57Consort Willa's departure
00:39:58is supported by me personally.
00:39:59But the ancestral rules
00:40:00cannot be discarded.
00:40:01Your majesty.
00:40:02Prime Minister,
00:40:03I am getting weary.
00:40:04Everyone,
00:40:05you must leave for now.
00:40:06Your majesty.
00:40:09Once I'm out of this place,
00:40:10it won't be long
00:40:11before the emperor forgets me.
00:40:13The world is so big.
00:40:14I'll go wherever I wish.
00:40:15I'll be happy.
00:40:17Your majesty,
00:40:18thank you for your grace.
00:40:20Your majesty favors her
00:40:21to such an extent?
00:40:23Concert Willa,
00:40:24she,
00:40:24she's a concert of the harem.
00:40:26And once she leaves the palace,
00:40:27it would violate the ancestral rules.
00:40:29It would be disastrous
00:40:30and shake the foundations of the state.
00:40:31It will be a dire omen,
00:40:33your majesty.
00:40:33Your majesty,
00:40:35please think again.
00:40:36Her majesty's merciful.
00:40:37Remembering that act
00:40:38of saving grace,
00:40:39you're now indulging her.
00:40:41But now that she's emboldened,
00:40:42she dares to grow arrogant.
00:40:43She no longer keeps
00:40:44the ancestral rules in mind.
00:40:46Your majesty,
00:40:46you need to punish her severely.
00:40:48A woman should obey her husband.
00:40:50You are her heaven.
00:40:51She should listen to you.
00:40:52Enough.
00:40:53It is final.
00:40:54No more discussion.
00:40:55The decree has been issued.
00:40:56Who dares to object?
00:41:20They have left.
00:41:22You rest for a while.
00:41:23I will not hurt you.
00:41:25The girl just fooled us.
00:41:26She could be with her.
00:41:27Look around.
00:41:28The two men have come back.
00:41:29Run.
00:41:30They will kill you.
00:41:32I know what to do.
00:41:33Don't worry.
00:41:34Wait,
00:41:35what is your name?
00:41:36It's Jasmine.
00:41:36Jasmine Luke.
00:41:40She is more like that girl.
00:41:42The Jasmine I know.
00:41:46Willa!
00:41:52Jasmine,
00:41:53please wait for me.
00:41:54Why are you still following me?
00:41:56Jasmine,
00:41:56don't be angry anymore.
00:41:57It's all my fault.
00:41:58I shouldn't have given them your name.
00:42:00Do you know who he is?
00:42:02What if he's an evil person?
00:42:03Moreover,
00:42:04you are returning to the capital tomorrow.
00:42:06What if something happens?
00:42:07Who will protect me?
00:42:08I wasn't being considerate.
00:42:10But he fell into the water.
00:42:12If I hadn't saved him,
00:42:13he would have drowned there.
00:42:14But why did you have to use my name?
00:42:15What if he clings to me,
00:42:17huh?
00:42:18I'm so sorry.
00:42:20I should have been more considerate.
00:42:21If he comes looking for you,
00:42:22please take him in.
00:42:23He's so pitiable.
00:42:29Competing with me,
00:42:29huh?
00:42:30I must kill you.
00:42:33Peace to your majesty.
00:42:35You saved my mother.
00:42:36What do you desire?
00:42:38I dare not ask for too much.
00:42:40You want freedom.
00:42:41You want an ordinary life.
00:42:43Life in the palace
00:42:44is certainly not what I desire.
00:42:46Indeed,
00:42:47you are different from the others.
00:42:49But with you,
00:42:50there's a unique aura about you
00:42:52that fascinates me.
00:42:53I am just an ordinary woman.
00:42:55I am not worthy of your praise.
00:42:57You are very special.
00:42:59I have never seen a woman like you before.
00:43:07Your majesty,
00:43:08restrain yourself.
00:43:10Restrain?
00:43:11Playing hard to get?
00:43:14You're truly piquing my interest.
00:43:16Your majesty,
00:43:17I am terrified.
00:43:28I truly just want to live in peace.
00:43:31Let the harem schemers fight it out.
00:43:33Men?
00:43:33I don't want them.
00:43:35Is that so?
00:43:36Your majesty,
00:43:38I'm suddenly feeling rather unwell.
00:43:40I wish to retire.
00:43:41You feel unwell?
00:43:43Let me examine you.
00:43:44Your majesty,
00:43:45it is not...
00:43:48If I say it is,
00:43:50then it is.
00:43:57He's such a handsome man.
00:43:59He makes me have fanciful thoughts.
00:44:01At my age,
00:44:01I am still a virgin.
00:44:03Your majesty,
00:44:04we're here.
00:44:05Okay.
00:44:07Why have you not put me down?
00:44:08We've arrived.
00:44:11Oh no.
00:44:12I'm losing control of myself.
00:44:14What's the rush?
00:44:15We have time.
00:44:24Are you afraid of me?
00:44:26No, I'm not.
00:44:28I'm just a little tired,
00:44:30that's all.
00:44:30You were frightened today.
00:44:32I will stay with you.
00:44:41Summon the physician.
00:44:43Your majesty,
00:44:43I can treat the injury myself.
00:44:45Don't worry.
00:44:53Your majesty,
00:44:54your highness.
00:45:00Please come in.
00:45:03Your majesty,
00:45:05your highness.
00:45:05Concert Willa was startled today.
00:45:07Her majesty ordered me
00:45:08to bring some calming soup.
00:45:16Why does this soup
00:45:17have a strange scent?
00:45:18Lily,
00:45:19to clear the mind and spirit.
00:45:20After her highness drinks it,
00:45:21you will surely sleep well.
00:45:31I will take my leave,
00:45:33your majesties.
00:45:36I have memorials to review.
00:45:38You should rest now.
00:45:41What's the matter?
00:45:42There's something in this incense.
00:45:43It's rosemary.
00:45:44It can incite passion in anyone.
00:45:46Now, Lily,
00:45:47for the spirit,
00:45:48but for passion too.
00:45:50And these two together,
00:45:51even immortals won't be able to resist.
00:45:58Are you sure?
00:45:59I want to.
00:46:01I want to.
00:46:19Willa?
00:46:20Your highness,
00:46:21calm your anger.
00:46:22That wretch.
00:46:23She used this opportunity
00:46:24to become a consort.
00:46:25I must kill her.
00:46:27Your highness,
00:46:28his majesty still cares.
00:46:29You're not in the cold palace yet.
00:46:31Your highness.
00:46:36The physician,
00:46:37summon him,
00:46:37quick!
00:46:40Your highness.
00:46:42Your highness.
00:46:46So,
00:46:47tell me,
00:46:48what is it?
00:46:50Your highness's body is noble.
00:46:52The pulse of...
00:46:53The pulse...
00:47:02Dear sir,
00:47:03the matter about my pregnancy
00:47:04will largely depend on you.
00:47:07I will...
00:47:08ensure the imperial heir
00:47:10and...
00:47:11your highness
00:47:12are completely safe.
00:47:14All right.
00:47:15You may leave now.
00:47:16Yes.
00:47:26Your highness,
00:47:27I feel that this matter
00:47:28is not proper.
00:47:28Should this be exposed one day?
00:47:31Once I am successful,
00:47:32you will also reap the benefits.
00:47:34But if you dare reveal
00:47:35even a hint of this,
00:47:36you better watch her hide.
00:47:37I wouldn't dare.
00:47:39I will surely
00:47:39follow your highness's orders.
00:48:02Are you sure?
00:48:03I want to.
00:48:10Oh, no.
00:48:14Lillian?
00:48:19Imperial edict!
00:48:28Lady Goodwin
00:48:29is gentle,
00:48:30graceful,
00:48:31virtuous,
00:48:31capable.
00:48:32She greatly pleases me.
00:48:33Promote Lady Goodwin
00:48:34to consort Willa,
00:48:35thus ordered.
00:48:38Thank you,
00:48:39your majesty.
00:48:40Rewards from his majesty
00:48:41are a pair of jade bracelets,
00:48:43ten bolts of brocade,
00:48:45a pair of golden lace
00:48:46floral bangles,
00:48:47a gem-studded
00:48:48tourmaline hairpin,
00:48:49a lotus gold comb,
00:48:50and a begonia jade hairpin.
00:48:53By heaven's grace,
00:48:54the emperor decrees,
00:48:55Lady Jasmine,
00:48:56is pregnant
00:48:56with an imperial heir
00:48:57and has served the state.
00:48:59My heart delights.
00:49:00She is promoted
00:49:00to consort,
00:49:01thus ordered.
00:49:10Mr. Donald,
00:49:11let me tell you,
00:49:12consort Jasmine is pregnant.
00:49:13There's no empress right now.
00:49:14She's the first consort
00:49:15to be pregnant.
00:49:16She might well become
00:49:16the empress very soon.
00:49:18Miss Lillian,
00:49:18the imperial decree
00:49:19is certainly not something
00:49:21to speculate about.
00:49:22The harem is where
00:49:23one's status rests on heirs.
00:49:25Mr. Donald,
00:49:25don't hide it from her highness.
00:49:27Miss Lillian,
00:49:28careful with your words.
00:49:29His majesty has even
00:49:30chosen a name.
00:49:31Kevin,
00:49:31he is blessed
00:49:32by imperial grace
00:49:33and blesses the people.
00:49:34His majesty holds
00:49:35high hopes
00:49:35for a consort Jasmine's child.
00:49:37Jasmine has gained favor.
00:49:39Willis' vengeance remains.
00:49:40How can I leave?
00:49:41If I want to go,
00:49:42Jasmine will not let me go.
00:49:43It's better to stay
00:49:44and face her decisively.
00:50:03Congratulations,
00:50:05your highness.
00:50:05You are pregnant.
00:50:07Huh?
00:50:08Struck right the first time.
00:50:09Such luck is unheard of.
00:50:11Mr. Lewis,
00:50:12don't tell his majesty
00:50:13about this yet.
00:50:14Let's wait for three months.
00:50:15when the fetus is stable.
00:50:16Rest assured,
00:50:17your highness.
00:50:18I'll surely keep
00:50:18this matter confidential.
00:50:20When the time is right,
00:50:21I will tell his majesty.
00:50:22Go on ahead.
00:50:27Thank you,
00:50:28your highness.
00:50:29Thank you for the reward.
00:50:34Willa!
00:50:36Someone has accused you,
00:50:38saying you tried
00:50:38to use witchcraft
00:50:39to harm the child
00:50:40in my womb.
00:50:41Your highness,
00:50:42you always seem
00:50:42to find a way
00:50:43to accuse me of things.
00:50:45Servants,
00:50:45search the place.
00:50:48Jasmine,
00:50:48since you seek
00:50:49your own demise,
00:50:50I shall grant it.
00:50:54Your highness,
00:50:55I found it.
00:50:59Willa,
00:50:59what do you have
00:51:00to say now?
00:51:01Written here
00:51:02is my name
00:51:03and my child's name.
00:51:04They're clearly
00:51:04your tools
00:51:05for performing witchcraft.
00:51:06Those don't belong to me.
00:51:08You say they're not yours?
00:51:10But they were found
00:51:10in your quarters.
00:51:11If they're not yours,
00:51:12then who's?
00:51:13You still want to argue?
00:51:14I have never seen
00:51:15those dolls.
00:51:16You cursed me
00:51:16and my child.
00:51:17You were caught red-handed,
00:51:18still denying it?
00:51:19Guards,
00:51:20take her away!
00:51:25I have never cursed
00:51:26you or your child.
00:51:27Jasmine,
00:51:28you had better
00:51:29not cause trouble
00:51:30or you'll face
00:51:30consequences
00:51:31you can't fail.
00:51:36Oh, Willa,
00:51:37remember this well.
00:51:39Climbing onto
00:51:39the Emperor's bed
00:51:40won't lift you
00:51:41above your place.
00:51:42In my own eyes,
00:51:44you're nothing but an ant
00:51:45I can crush
00:51:46any time I want.
00:51:47Jasmine,
00:51:48you were the one
00:51:48who did this.
00:51:50So what if I did?
00:51:51There are no witnesses
00:51:52and evidence.
00:51:53Who would believe
00:51:54that you were innocent?
00:51:55You will definitely
00:51:56regret this.
00:51:57Spouting nonsense
00:51:58at the brink of death?
00:51:59I will surely
00:52:00make you pay for this.
00:52:03Too bad you won't
00:52:04have the chance.
00:52:05Consort Willa is jealous
00:52:06that I am with child
00:52:07and used witchcraft
00:52:08to harm my child and me.
00:52:09Guards,
00:52:09drag her out
00:52:10and execute her!
00:52:11Don't you dare!
00:52:12His Majesty will punish you!
00:52:17He will punish me
00:52:18for your sake, huh?
00:52:19Stop your wishful thinking!
00:52:21In His Majesty's heart,
00:52:22I am utterly irreplaceable.
00:52:24And while you,
00:52:24vile wretch,
00:52:25in his heart,
00:52:26you're nothing at all!
00:52:28The Records Office
00:52:28has been taking note.
00:52:30His Majesty comes here,
00:52:31to sleep and nothing more.
00:52:33He never touched you.
00:52:34You schemed your way
00:52:35onto the Emperor's bed,
00:52:36only to be despised by him.
00:52:39How does that feel?
00:52:42Jasmine,
00:52:43you did this to entrap me.
00:52:45You are going to regret this.
00:52:46Guards,
00:52:47take her away!
00:52:48Beat her to death!
00:52:54Your Majesty!
00:52:55I found this in her palace.
00:52:56They were hidden here.
00:52:57It appears to involve witchcraft.
00:52:59I think she intends to harm me and my child.
00:53:01What is this?
00:53:02These are dolls stitched by hand.
00:53:03Written on it are the names of me and my child.
00:53:07Does the Emperor favor Jasmine now?
00:53:09Will he have me killed?
00:53:10Your Majesty,
00:53:11Consort Willa is outrageous.
00:53:13She uses witchcraft to harm the Imperial heir.
00:53:14Consort Willa is conspiring against the Imperial heir,
00:53:17a grave crime punishable by execution of her clan.
00:53:20You have planned this well.
00:53:21You convinced them to go against me.
00:53:22I shall show you my power,
00:53:24because if I don't,
00:53:25you will think I am weak.
00:53:26It is time you paid the price.
00:53:27Your Majesty,
00:53:28Consort Willa is jealous
00:53:29of the favor that I have received.
00:53:31She wants to harm me.
00:53:32I'm very scared.
00:53:34Your Majesty must seek justice for me.
00:53:35Your Majesty,
00:53:36do you truly believe her story?
00:53:38Willa,
00:53:40are you jealous of her?
00:53:41Your Majesty,
00:53:43she intends to harm me and our child.
00:53:44You cannot let her off.
00:53:46Your Majesty,
00:53:47those two dolls are not mine.
00:53:48I have never seen them before.
00:53:50This was done to free me.
00:53:51You have been caught red-handed.
00:53:53What else do you have to say?
00:53:54These witchcraft items were found in your quarters.
00:53:56What more is there to argue?
00:53:58Confess your crimes now.
00:54:01Bewitching people with lies.
00:54:02Are you tired of living?
00:54:05Your Majesty,
00:54:06you must not be deceived by her.
00:54:07This woman is most adept at lying.
00:54:09She will certainly not admit
00:54:10that she did this herself.
00:54:11Don't trust her.
00:54:12Is the Emperor protecting me?
00:54:13What did he drink?
00:54:15Your Majesty,
00:54:15I would never practice witchcraft
00:54:17to harm others.
00:54:18What crazy thief
00:54:18would ever admit that he steals?
00:54:20I have evidence
00:54:21that will prove my innocence.
00:54:22Even until now,
00:54:23you still want to quibble?
00:54:24Guards,
00:54:25drag this vile wretch away
00:54:26and question her.
00:54:27Jasmine,
00:54:28I have my own judgment.
00:54:31I have overstepped.
00:54:33If you have evidence,
00:54:35let's see it.
00:54:36Bring two basins
00:54:37of water.
00:54:39Be patient,
00:54:40Your Majesty.
00:54:41I will prove
00:54:41my innocence completely.
00:54:43I would like to see
00:54:44what tricks
00:54:44you can still play now.
00:54:45Your Majesty,
00:54:46please place
00:54:47these two dolls
00:54:47in one of the water basins.
00:54:54Matter
00:54:55has the effect
00:54:55of stopping bleeding.
00:54:56It is also a red dye.
00:54:58Recently,
00:54:58I've been using
00:54:59madderu to treat wounds.
00:55:00My hands are stained
00:55:01with matter juice.
00:55:02If I truly did touch
00:55:03these two stitched dolls,
00:55:04the water will turn red.
00:55:08But that water
00:55:09hasn't changed color.
00:55:13Your Majesty,
00:55:14matter indeed,
00:55:15possesses such
00:55:16distinct characteristics.
00:55:17Concert, Jasmine,
00:55:18I haven't even touched
00:55:19these two rag dolls.
00:55:20And I have no idea
00:55:21why they were in my chambers.
00:55:22Why are you so certain
00:55:23that they belong to me?
00:55:24You even brought people
00:55:25to search my room.
00:55:26Jasmine,
00:55:27do you have anything
00:55:28more to say?
00:55:29Please, Judge Fairley.
00:55:31It wasn't me.
00:55:32Someone,
00:55:33someone told me
00:55:34Consort Willa
00:55:35is jealous I'm with child
00:55:36and has practiced witchcraft
00:55:37intending to harm
00:55:38me and my unborn child.
00:55:39Is that so?
00:55:40It was her.
00:55:41It was Consort Willa's maid,
00:55:43Lillian.
00:55:44She was the one
00:55:44who told me
00:55:45Consort Willa
00:55:45wants to harm me.
00:55:47Your Majesty,
00:55:47I have been wronged.
00:55:48It's you.
00:55:49You had me set up.
00:55:50That is utter nonsense.
00:55:52Your Majesty,
00:55:52Lillian is Consort Willa's
00:55:54personal maid.
00:55:54Why would she approach
00:55:55me for no reason?
00:55:56She must have conspired
00:55:57with Consort Willa
00:55:58so she could frame me.
00:55:59Yes,
00:56:00it must be so.
00:56:01Consort Jasmine,
00:56:02your imagination
00:56:03is indeed vivid.
00:56:04I am not as capable.
00:56:05I don't have
00:56:06heaven-reaching powers
00:56:07to have a maid craft
00:56:08such exquisite dolls
00:56:09and place them
00:56:09in my own chamber
00:56:10in order to frame you.
00:56:13Stop pretending
00:56:13to be innocent.
00:56:14If not you,
00:56:15who could it be?
00:56:16Who else would scheme
00:56:17so meticulously to harm me?
00:56:18Seeing that you are
00:56:19with child,
00:56:20I intended to let you off.
00:56:21But seeing you now,
00:56:22you won't shed a tear
00:56:23until you see me dead.
00:56:26Your Majesty,
00:56:27I am certain
00:56:28this matter is
00:56:29tied to Consort Willa.
00:56:31Lillian,
00:56:32I am giving you
00:56:33another chance to live.
00:56:34Confess now.
00:56:35Who instructed you
00:56:36to do this?
00:56:38You have always
00:56:40known what I did?
00:56:40I have never been gullible
00:56:41or at anyone's mercy.
00:56:43Lillian,
00:56:43who instructed you
00:56:44to secretly place the dolls?
00:56:45I dare not say!
00:56:46Dare not say?
00:56:48You're afraid
00:56:48of revealing
00:56:49who it is?
00:56:50Lillian,
00:56:51I am giving you
00:56:52another chance.
00:56:53Answer properly.
00:56:54Who instructed you?
00:56:55I can't.
00:56:56Lillian,
00:56:57if you don't tell,
00:56:58I will have you
00:56:59dragged out
00:57:00and beaten to death.
00:57:01I will tell!
00:57:02I will tell!
00:57:03It's...
00:57:04It's Consort Jasmine!
00:57:05Shut up!
00:57:06You wretch!
00:57:07You're talking nonsense!
00:57:08Lillian instructed you
00:57:09to do this, right?
00:57:10Your Highness,
00:57:11just admit it!
00:57:12I'm just trying to survive!
00:57:14It was you.
00:57:14You personally
00:57:15handed the dolls to me
00:57:16to place him
00:57:17in Consort Willa's chamber!
00:57:18You're falsely accusing me!
00:57:19Your Majesty,
00:57:19I dare not deceive you!
00:57:20It was Consort Jasmine.
00:57:22She said after
00:57:22the deed was done,
00:57:23she promised me
00:57:24that she would
00:57:24release my family
00:57:25from the Serpent's quarter!
00:57:26I was seized
00:57:26by a moment's folly
00:57:27and so...
00:57:28Jasmine,
00:57:30you have disappointed me.
00:57:34Your Majesty,
00:57:35I'm being wrongly accused!
00:57:37I did not do it!
00:57:38This is Consort Willa's scheme!
00:57:39I'm just a victim here!
00:57:40Go investigate this!
00:57:42Yes,
00:57:42Your Majesty.
00:57:47Your Majesty,
00:57:49Lillian's parents
00:57:50indeed have worked
00:57:51at the Serpent's
00:57:51quarter.
00:57:52People from
00:57:53Consort Jasmine's palace
00:57:54went there
00:57:55just a few days ago
00:57:56and they gave her parents
00:57:58a large sum of silver.
00:58:00I...
00:58:00I did not!
00:58:02Jasmine,
00:58:03your intentions
00:58:03are so malicious.
00:58:05I have treated you well.
00:58:07Why do you frame
00:58:08Consort Willa?
00:58:08Your Majesty,
00:58:09I did not do it!
00:58:10I'm being wrongly accused!
00:58:11You have been caught
00:58:12and you still deny it!
00:58:13Guards!
00:58:14Your Majesty!
00:58:14Your Majesty!
00:58:16Send her to the
00:58:16Cold Palace!
00:58:17Without my permission,
00:58:18no one is allowed
00:58:19to visit her!
00:58:20Your Majesty!
00:58:20Your Majesty!
00:58:21I truly realize
00:58:22my mistake!
00:58:23I beg Your Majesty
00:58:23to consider that I once
00:58:24saved His Majesty's life!
00:58:26Please forgive me
00:58:26this time,
00:58:26Your Majesty!
00:58:27I realize my mistake!
00:58:28I dare not do it again!
00:58:31You dare mention
00:58:32that you once saved me?
00:58:33Do you think
00:58:34I would again be subjected
00:58:35to your attempts at favor?
00:58:37No!
00:58:38No!
00:58:38I will never forgive you again!
00:58:40I did not seek favor!
00:58:41I truly realized my wrongs!
00:58:44Jasmine!
00:58:45Your crimes
00:58:46are beyond redemption!
00:58:48Your Majesty!
00:58:49How can you disregard
00:58:50our meaningful past?
00:58:51I almost lost my life
00:58:53trying to save you back then!
00:58:55How can you just
00:58:56forget our past
00:58:58as if it were nothing?
00:59:00The Emperor
00:59:00has a soft spot for her
00:59:02in his heart.
00:59:03Jasmine is irreplaceable,
00:59:04apparently.
00:59:04I shall see
00:59:05what his final decision will be.
00:59:07Your Majesty!
00:59:07Please!
00:59:08I truly realize my mistakes!
00:59:09I dare not do it again!
00:59:10For the sake of our child!
00:59:12Please forgive me
00:59:13just one more time!
00:59:14After all,
00:59:14the child is innocent!
00:59:15Your Majesty!
00:59:16Using witchcraft
00:59:17to cause chaos
00:59:17is unforgivable.
00:59:19Concert Jasmine
00:59:19harbors malice
00:59:20and tried to frame me.
00:59:21Even more unforgivable.
00:59:22It's you!
00:59:23You vile wretch!
00:59:24You have no right
00:59:25to speak here!
00:59:25You did this!
00:59:29Whether I have the right
00:59:30is His Majesty's
00:59:30will to decide.
00:59:31However,
00:59:32the evidence is now
00:59:33conclusive.
00:59:33What excuses do you have?
00:59:34left.
00:59:35Your Majesty,
00:59:36don't listen to her!
00:59:37She is so in discord!
00:59:38She completely framed me!
00:59:39Your Majesty,
00:59:40I will comply
00:59:41with all of your decisions,
00:59:42but I believe
00:59:42Your Majesty
00:59:43will make
00:59:44the fairest judgment.
00:59:47Concert Jasmine
00:59:48practiced witchcraft,
00:59:50a grave crime,
00:59:51but considering
00:59:52she is pregnant,
00:59:53she'll stay
00:59:54in Phoenix Perch Palace
00:59:55until such time
00:59:56as she gives birth.
00:59:58No!
00:59:59How can this be?
01:00:00Jasmine framed me,
01:00:02and he only put her
01:00:03under house arrest.
01:00:03If I hadn't prepared
01:00:04in advance,
01:00:05I would have lost
01:00:06my life.
01:00:06This Emperor
01:00:07truly does go in badly.
01:00:09Guards,
01:00:09take her now
01:00:10to the Phoenix Perch Palace.
01:00:12Without my decree,
01:00:13no one can visit her.
01:00:15No!
01:00:16No!
01:00:16I'm innocent!
01:00:17You!
01:00:18You did this!
01:00:19I will kill you!
01:00:21I will kill you!
01:00:23Impudent wretch!
01:00:25Your Majesty,
01:00:27for this vile wretch,
01:00:28you would truly
01:00:29cast aside our affection?
01:00:30Guards,
01:00:31take her to the
01:00:32cold palace.
01:00:33Without my decree,
01:00:35no one
01:00:35can visit her.
01:00:37No,
01:00:37Your Majesty!
01:00:38You can't do this to me!
01:00:40Your Majesty!
01:00:41Your Majesty!
01:00:59So, Jasmine,
01:01:00it seems you finally
01:01:01made your move.
01:01:02Your desperation is showing.
01:01:07Your Highness,
01:01:08why have you come in person?
01:01:08Take all the matter
01:01:09root you have here
01:01:10to the elegant
01:01:10Grace Palace.
01:01:11Send them at once.
01:01:12Yes, Your Highness.
01:01:17As for you,
01:01:19how dare you frame
01:01:20Consort Willa!
01:01:21It's unforgivable!
01:01:22I realize my mistake!
01:01:23I realize my mistake!
01:01:24Please,
01:01:24Paramirid was
01:01:25Consort Chessman!
01:01:26She forced me to place him
01:01:27in the chamber!
01:01:27Your merit may offset
01:01:28the offense.
01:01:28You may be spared
01:01:29from death,
01:01:29but your fate is sealed.
01:01:31Guards,
01:01:32put her in the
01:01:32servant's quarters!
01:01:33Your Highness!
01:01:34Your Highness!
01:01:35Please save me!
01:01:35I have been loyal to you!
01:01:36Your Highness!
01:01:37Your Highness!
01:01:38Please save me!
01:01:39Your Highness!
01:01:39Save me!
01:01:40Your Highness!
01:01:41Your Highness!
01:01:42Save me!
01:01:43Willa,
01:01:44are you feeling unwell?
01:01:47I just feel a bit nauseous.
01:01:49I will summon the physician.
01:01:51I must not let him know
01:01:52about my pregnancy.
01:01:53There's no need.
01:01:55I have just inhaled
01:01:56too much of the foul air
01:01:57in this palace.
01:01:58I'm just a bit queasy.
01:01:59It'll pass in a few days.
01:02:00I understand.
01:02:02Jasmine's affair
01:02:02has made you unhappy.
01:02:03She has shown me grace.
01:02:05I cannot abandon her.
01:02:06He obviously still favors Jasmine.
01:02:08What an excuse!
01:02:09Scoundrel!
01:02:09You need not explain.
01:02:11I understand everything.
01:02:12You are the ruler of the nation.
01:02:13Whatever you do,
01:02:14I have no objections,
01:02:15Your Majesty.
01:02:16Are you perhaps angry?
01:02:17However,
01:02:18even so,
01:02:19you make me
01:02:20more captivated.
01:02:24I am not angry.
01:02:26Your Majesty,
01:02:27I'm just a bit fatigued.
01:02:30I will sleep with you.
01:02:32Your Majesty!
01:02:33Great news!
01:02:34Something terrible
01:02:34has happened!
01:02:36Consort Jasmine
01:02:37lost the child!
01:02:39What?
01:02:42Fortunately,
01:02:43I do not yearn for one.
01:02:44The Emperor
01:02:44just suddenly left.
01:02:45How distressing
01:02:46that must be.
01:02:49Willa,
01:02:49I will return shortly.
01:02:51There's no one
01:02:51attending to you now.
01:02:52I'll have
01:02:53Kathy accompanied.
01:02:55Let me see you off,
01:02:56Your Majesty.
01:03:01Your Highness!
01:03:02What's wrong with you?
01:03:04My child.
01:03:06He favors Jasmine
01:03:07who harmed us.
01:03:08You are angry too,
01:03:09aren't you?
01:03:10Rest assured
01:03:10that since I chose
01:03:11to bear you,
01:03:12I will certainly protect you
01:03:13and I will clear
01:03:14all obstacles for you.
01:03:16Your Highness,
01:03:17are you alright?
01:03:17Are you feeling unwell?
01:03:19Shall I summon the physician?
01:03:22I'm alright.
01:03:23I'm just a little tired.
01:03:24Then please rest,
01:03:25Your Highness.
01:03:26I'm fine.
01:03:27I know you feel uneasy,
01:03:28Your Highness.
01:03:29Every woman of the harem
01:03:30wants to win
01:03:30the Emperor's favor,
01:03:31but Consort Jasmine
01:03:32is different from the others.
01:03:34Why is she different?
01:03:36Because she saved his life?
01:03:37There is something
01:03:38you don't know.
01:03:39Back then,
01:03:40the Emperor
01:03:40was not favored
01:03:41by his father.
01:03:42The favored Consort Helen
01:03:43sent someone
01:03:44to assassinate him.
01:03:44She was ten years old
01:03:45at that time.
01:03:46Consort Jasmine
01:03:46saved him.
01:03:47Ten years old?
01:03:48So for the Emperor,
01:03:50Consort Jasmine
01:03:50is not only a lifesaver,
01:03:51but a ray of light
01:03:52and his darkness.
01:03:53Without Consort Jasmine,
01:03:54he would not have
01:03:55come this far.
01:03:58Look around.
01:03:59The two men
01:03:59have come back.
01:04:00Run,
01:04:00they will kill you.
01:04:03I know what to do.
01:04:04Don't worry.
01:04:06Wait,
01:04:06what is your name?
01:04:07Jasmine.
01:04:08Jasmine Luke.
01:04:11Ten year old...
01:04:13Jasmine...
01:04:14Jasmine...
01:04:14saved the Emperor?
01:04:18Your Highness,
01:04:19what's wrong?
01:04:19So the old Willa
01:04:20used Jasmine's name
01:04:21back then
01:04:22when she saved that boy.
01:04:23And that boy
01:04:24was the Emperor.
01:04:28Your Highness,
01:04:29what are you talking about?
01:04:30It's clear now.
01:04:32So that's what happened.
01:04:34So Jasmine,
01:04:35you took the credit.
01:04:37Usurping the nest
01:04:38wasn't enough.
01:04:38You made sure
01:04:39the old Willa drowned.
01:04:41Jasmine,
01:04:42I will make you
01:04:43pay for what you did.
01:04:44Your Highness,
01:04:45you...
01:04:45Go on, Kathy.
01:04:46I want you to find out
01:04:47Jasmine's every move.
01:04:49Yes, Your Highness.
01:04:50I must avenge
01:04:51the original Willa.
01:04:54Your Majesty,
01:04:55please slow down
01:04:56your pace.
01:04:56I can't keep up at all.
01:05:00I am restless at heart.
01:05:02A walk would be good.
01:05:03Oh, Your Majesty,
01:05:04you already know
01:05:05Consort Jasmine's
01:05:06faking her pregnancy,
01:05:07so why do you...
01:05:08Andy,
01:05:08how long have you
01:05:09served me?
01:05:10Your Majesty,
01:05:11I have served you
01:05:12for over 20 years
01:05:13by now.
01:05:14Over 20 years?
01:05:15Do you still not
01:05:16understand my intentions?
01:05:17I am slow-witted.
01:05:19I'm provoking
01:05:20Consort Willa
01:05:21to make her suffer
01:05:22from jealousy,
01:05:23to make her realize
01:05:24my importance.
01:05:26Your Majesty,
01:05:28you mean
01:05:28you're playing
01:05:29hard together?
01:05:30I want her
01:05:32to care about me,
01:05:33to hold me
01:05:34dear in her heart.
01:05:35Your Majesty
01:05:36are wise,
01:05:37but she is
01:05:38of a cold temperament.
01:05:39I fear...
01:05:42I don't believe
01:05:43that she can remain
01:05:44indifferent to me.
01:05:46The colder she acts,
01:05:47the more
01:05:48I will make her care.
01:05:50Your Majesty,
01:05:52you are wise,
01:05:52as for Consort Jasmine.
01:05:55Since she is
01:05:56deceiving me,
01:05:57she shall know
01:05:57the consequences
01:05:58of that,
01:05:59deceiving me
01:05:59with false pregnancy.
01:06:00That,
01:06:01I will not tolerate.
01:06:03Oh,
01:06:03I spoke out of turn.
01:06:04I beg for forgiveness,
01:06:05Your Majesty.
01:06:12You're really useless.
01:06:13What use are you to me?
01:06:14You can't even handle well
01:06:15to think she
01:06:16has stolen
01:06:17His Majesty's affection.
01:06:19Come,
01:06:19your anger.
01:06:20I have sent
01:06:20for His Majesty.
01:06:21He'll be here shortly.
01:06:24That wretched
01:06:25Willa
01:06:25deserves to die.
01:06:28Find a way
01:06:28to kill her now.
01:06:29So as long
01:06:30as she lives,
01:06:31I'll never have peace.
01:06:32If she's not killed
01:06:34and His Majesty
01:06:35finds out
01:06:35it was Willa
01:06:36who saved him
01:06:36back then,
01:06:37I'm surely doomed.
01:06:38His Majesty
01:06:39has arrived.
01:06:44Your Majesty,
01:06:45Your Majesty,
01:06:46Her Highness
01:06:47suffered a miscarriage.
01:06:48Your Majesty.
01:06:49Your Majesty.
01:06:49Your Majesty.
01:06:57How long will you
01:06:58keep weeping
01:06:59and wailing?
01:07:01Your Majesty,
01:07:02I'm in pain.
01:07:03Our child is gone.
01:07:05I lost it.
01:07:06With no child now,
01:07:08I can't go on living.
01:07:12Over these years,
01:07:14I have never graced
01:07:14your bed.
01:07:15Whose child
01:07:16is it you care?
01:07:18Your Majesty,
01:07:19you knew about it?
01:07:20You drugged me
01:07:21with Rosemary
01:07:22and pretended
01:07:23I had lain with you.
01:07:24But,
01:07:24because you once
01:07:25saved my life,
01:07:26I didn't expose you.
01:07:27But one thing
01:07:28you shouldn't do,
01:07:29you should never do,
01:07:30is harm the innocent.
01:07:46Mr. Hilton,
01:07:47take note.
01:07:48Yes.
01:07:58No,
01:07:58I didn't.
01:07:59I didn't harm
01:08:00any innocent people.
01:08:01I only wish
01:08:02to keep Your Majesty.
01:08:03Enough!
01:08:04Do you think
01:08:05I don't know
01:08:06about the disgraceful things
01:08:07that you have done?
01:08:09I know them
01:08:09all too well.
01:08:10You've made things
01:08:11hard for Consort Willa,
01:08:12not allowing her
01:08:13to see me.
01:08:14Tell me,
01:08:15why do you treat
01:08:16Consort Willa this way?
01:08:17I really didn't.
01:08:18I never wronged her.
01:08:20Your Majesty,
01:08:20you must believe me.
01:08:21I also know
01:08:22you were childhood friends.
01:08:25Look at what
01:08:26you have become now.
01:08:28Where's the person
01:08:28you once were?
01:08:30Arrogant,
01:08:30overbearing,
01:08:31heartless,
01:08:31and ruthless.
01:08:32It's my loss
01:08:33that I still remember
01:08:35how you once saved me
01:08:36and indulge you
01:08:37in every way.
01:08:38Could His Majesty know
01:08:39that the one who saved him
01:08:40back then was Willa?
01:08:41Now,
01:08:41I ask you once again,
01:08:42why did you harm
01:08:43Consort Willa?
01:08:44Your Majesty,
01:08:45I was just afraid.
01:08:47I was afraid,
01:08:48Your Majesty,
01:08:49that you would forget
01:08:49me entirely,
01:08:50that I once saved
01:08:51Your Majesty's life
01:08:52back then,
01:08:53that you would not
01:08:54want me anymore,
01:08:55and that she would
01:08:56steal your affection.
01:08:57She's so beautiful.
01:08:58I was afraid
01:08:59of losing Your Majesty.
01:09:00I already said
01:09:01that I still remember
01:09:03that you saved me,
01:09:04but you
01:09:05have greatly
01:09:06disappointed me.
01:09:08Your Majesty,
01:09:10I truly love you
01:09:10far too much.
01:09:15But,
01:09:16since you did
01:09:17save me back then,
01:09:18I will spare you.
01:09:20But if you trouble
01:09:21Consort Willa again,
01:09:23I will show no mercy.
01:09:28Your Highness,
01:09:29there's trouble!
01:09:30Something terrible
01:09:30has happened!
01:09:32Such flustered panic!
01:09:33What a disgrace!
01:09:35I...
01:09:36I...
01:09:36I heard from the physician.
01:09:38Consort Willa
01:09:39has obtained
01:09:40pregnancy-preserving pills.
01:09:41What?
01:09:42Pregnancy?
01:09:43Yes,
01:09:44it's right.
01:09:44I...
01:09:45I heard it
01:09:45with my own ears.
01:09:46The record
01:09:47did not show anything.
01:09:48Where did her child
01:09:49come from?
01:09:50Your Highness,
01:09:51please.
01:09:51Perhaps
01:09:52there was
01:09:53a mishap
01:09:53in the record's office.
01:09:54A mishap?
01:09:58That vile wretch
01:09:59dared to betray
01:10:00His Majesty?
01:10:01She is finished.
01:10:03But...
01:10:04But Your Highness,
01:10:05you are currently
01:10:05confined here.
01:10:06How can we unveil
01:10:07her deceitful façade?
01:10:09Confined, huh?
01:10:10I still have my tricks.
01:10:22Your Majesty,
01:10:23why do you stay
01:10:24by my door every night?
01:10:25You're leaving the palace,
01:10:26so I'd like to spend
01:10:27more time with you
01:10:28before you go,
01:10:28so that you might
01:10:30remember me.
01:10:31Your Majesty
01:10:32must have forgotten.
01:10:33Since I entered the palace,
01:10:34I've never received
01:10:35any favor from you.
01:10:36It's my fault.
01:10:37Only now
01:10:38do I realize your worth.
01:10:39You've been idle,
01:10:40Your Majesty,
01:10:40and uninteresting.
01:10:42Who do you find
01:10:42interesting?
01:10:43No one.
01:10:55Hey!
01:10:59Your Majesty.
01:11:07Meet me at midnight,
01:11:08Imperial Lake Garden.
01:11:10Your Majesty,
01:11:11tonight will be
01:11:12quite a show.
01:11:26Willa.
01:11:27Mr. Lee,
01:11:28what are you doing
01:11:29here at this hour?
01:11:32Have you lost your mind?
01:11:33Let go!
01:11:34Come with me,
01:11:34Willa.
01:11:35I know you have
01:11:36suffered here.
01:11:36I'll take you away.
01:11:37I think you've lost
01:11:37your mind.
01:11:38Let go of me!
01:11:39Willa,
01:11:39I'm doing this for you.
01:11:40Let go of me this instant
01:11:41or I will call for help.
01:11:42Contarch,
01:11:42Willa,
01:11:43what is this?
01:11:43I did not expect you
01:11:44to share your bed
01:11:45with the guard.
01:11:45Guards,
01:11:46seize this shameless woman
01:11:47now!
01:11:55I'm tired already.
01:11:56My son,
01:11:57handle this matter swiftly.
01:11:59Calm your anger,
01:12:00Mother.
01:12:00I'll investigate this
01:12:01thoroughly.
01:12:02I'll explain it
01:12:03to you after.
01:12:03Wow,
01:12:04Concert Willa,
01:12:04you're quite bold.
01:12:05Meeting with the guard
01:12:06secretly in the palace,
01:12:08truly shameless.
01:12:09Yes,
01:12:10indeed.
01:12:10Even putting on
01:12:11an innocent and pure facade,
01:12:12absolutely repulsive.
01:12:13No wonder she wants
01:12:14to leave the palace.
01:12:15Turns out she has
01:12:16someone else in her heart
01:12:17and unwilling to serve
01:12:18his majesty.
01:12:20I've been wronged.
01:12:21I've no illicit ties
01:12:22with Mr. Lee.
01:12:23Your majesty,
01:12:24it was Concert Willa
01:12:25who seduced me first.
01:12:27Your highness,
01:12:27you summoned me
01:12:28to meet you tonight.
01:12:29How can you not admit it?
01:12:30I'm wholeheartedly devoted to you.
01:12:31How can you be so heartless?
01:12:32Your majesty,
01:12:33see the truth.
01:12:33I've been wronged.
01:12:34I have never engaged
01:12:36in such sordid acts.
01:12:37Someone must be framing me.
01:12:38Concert Willa,
01:12:39at such a time as this,
01:12:40why are you still pretending?
01:12:42You were caught red-handed.
01:12:43What else do you have to say?
01:12:45Could it be you're saying,
01:12:46this guard somehow forced you?
01:12:50Exactly.
01:12:51The guard has admitted it.
01:12:52You still wish to deny it?
01:12:54Do you really think that
01:12:55all of us here
01:12:56are blind and stupid?
01:12:57How dare you,
01:12:58Concert Willa?
01:12:58Do you know the crime of adultery?
01:13:00In front of their majesties,
01:13:01you still dare to lie?
01:13:02Your majesty,
01:13:03I am willing to stake my life.
01:13:05I have had no secret dealings
01:13:06with Mr. Lee.
01:13:07I conduct myself with propriety.
01:13:09I do not fear their slander.
01:13:10Your majesty,
01:13:12Concert Willa deserves death.
01:13:13Please discern with clarity
01:13:15and punish her.
01:13:16Concert Jasmine,
01:13:17you speak as if you saw everything.
01:13:19Could it be
01:13:19you've long been watching
01:13:20and spying on me?
01:13:21Not only are you
01:13:22consorting with John,
01:13:23but you are also carrying a child.
01:13:25You do not regard
01:13:26his majesty with respect.
01:13:27Who is the father
01:13:28of the child in your womb?
01:13:30What?
01:13:32You are even pregnant?
01:13:33Concert Willa,
01:13:34you truly have some nerve.
01:13:37Guards,
01:13:37strike her belly
01:13:38and the child in her womb now.
01:13:40Let's see if you dare.
01:13:42Your majesty,
01:13:43Emperor,
01:13:44the child in her womb
01:13:45must not be kept.
01:13:46Your majesty,
01:13:48the child in my womb,
01:13:49it is indeed
01:13:50his majesty's own flesh and blood.
01:13:51Your majesty never graced your bed,
01:13:53yet you're pregnant.
01:13:54If the child is not illegitimate,
01:13:55then how could it be the heir?
01:13:57Concert Jasmine,
01:13:58so you have been watching me
01:13:59all along?
01:14:00All of this is in the records office.
01:14:01No need to watch you.
01:14:03Concert Willa,
01:14:04you have greatly disappointed me
01:14:05to think you did something
01:14:06so contrary to heavenly virtues.
01:14:08May you discern the truth.
01:14:10I have been wronged,
01:14:10your majesty.
01:14:11I am loyal to his majesty
01:14:12and to the royal family.
01:14:13Someone is deliberately framing me.
01:14:15Your majesty.
01:14:17Concert Willa,
01:14:18no one has come to this
01:14:18you still dare to argue.
01:14:20The guard already confessed to the affair.
01:14:22Do you still wish to deny it?
01:14:23That's right.
01:14:24And now you claim to carry
01:14:26the emperor's child.
01:14:27It could be anyone else's.
01:14:28Who knows, right?
01:14:31Concert Jasmine,
01:14:32you have quite the audacity.
01:14:34You dare take matters into your hands?
01:14:35You'll assault a consort in front of me?
01:14:37Your majesty,
01:14:38Willa is carrying an illegitimate child
01:14:40and slanders the royal lineage.
01:14:41Concert Jasmine.
01:14:42Concert Lily,
01:14:43you must be careful with your words.
01:14:45Concert Willa
01:14:46is a consort
01:14:47conferred by me.
01:14:49How could I allow you to slander her?
01:14:53Your majesty,
01:14:54I am considering your interest.
01:14:56I do not wish you to be deceived.
01:14:57Everyone, stop!
01:14:58My son,
01:15:00you decide how to deal with this.
01:15:01Escort Concert Willa to prison.
01:15:03I will order someone
01:15:04to investigate this matter.
01:15:06Your majesty,
01:15:07please, I have been wronged.
01:15:10Your majesty!
01:15:23So, Willa,
01:15:24who would have thought
01:15:25you'd see this day, huh?
01:15:31You did this, didn't you?
01:15:33Well, yes.
01:15:34It was indeed me.
01:15:35Pity you learned the truth too late.
01:15:37Are you not afraid
01:15:37his majesty will punish you?
01:15:39His majesty?
01:15:40I'm the only one he will believe.
01:15:42I am closest to his majesty's heart.
01:15:44I'm his benefactor.
01:15:45I am nothing like you.
01:15:47Even if a wretch like you were to die,
01:15:49his majesty wouldn't blink an eye.
01:15:50Is that so?
01:15:51Willa,
01:15:52with so little ability,
01:15:54you dare compete with me?
01:15:56Oh, Jasmine.
01:15:57You will surely regret this.
01:15:59Regret?
01:16:00I will have you killed tonight.
01:16:02And if his majesty finds out,
01:16:03he'll think you killed yourself
01:16:04out of guilt.
01:16:05Oh.
01:16:06Is that so?
01:16:07Do you think I would not touch you?
01:16:09Of course you, dear.
01:16:11You're afraid of me being alive.
01:16:12You are not a complete fool.
01:16:14But it's too late.
01:16:15His majesty will never find out.
01:16:17It was you who truly saved him back then.
01:16:19Do you think you can deceive
01:16:20his majesty forever?
01:16:22Just you wait.
01:16:23One day the truth will reveal itself.
01:16:26As long as you're dead,
01:16:28his majesty will never know the truth.
01:16:30Sally,
01:16:31kill her.
01:16:32Do you think killing me
01:16:33will hide the truth?
01:16:34Jasmine,
01:16:34you are much too naive.
01:16:36Dead people simply don't talk.
01:16:41Is that so?
01:16:42Are you going
01:16:43to kill me as well?
01:16:47Your majesty.
01:16:48No wonder I feel.
01:16:49You're not as kind as before.
01:16:51So that's how it is.
01:16:52So you are not really
01:16:53the one who saved me that day.
01:16:55No, it's not like that.
01:16:57You still wish to deceive me?
01:16:59You have deceived me so long.
01:17:01It's simply unforgivable.
01:17:02I have treated you well.
01:17:03Why did you deceive me?
01:17:05Your majesty,
01:17:06I have been wronged.
01:17:07I have been sincerely devoted to you.
01:17:09Sincere?
01:17:10Your so-called sincerity
01:17:12is just taking the place
01:17:13of my benefactor
01:17:14and deceiving my feelings.
01:17:15Your majesty,
01:17:16that wretch Willa
01:17:17is simply not worthy of you.
01:17:18It was for your own good.
01:17:19For my good?
01:17:20You took the place
01:17:21of my benefactor,
01:17:23enjoying all the glory
01:17:24and wealth,
01:17:24while my benefactor
01:17:25suffered endlessly.
01:17:27This is what you call
01:17:28for my good, huh?
01:17:29I dare not take credit.
01:17:30The matter that occurred
01:17:31was a mere flick of the wrist.
01:17:33A flick of the wrist?
01:17:35You saved my life.
01:17:36And she...
01:17:38She stole your life away.
01:17:40I was truly blind for so long
01:17:41to be deceived by you for years.
01:17:43Your majesty,
01:17:44I realized my mistake.
01:17:45I beg your majesty, spare me.
01:17:49Guard!
01:17:50Send this woman
01:17:51to the Cold Palace.
01:17:55Your majesty,
01:17:56I have accompanied you
01:17:57for so many years,
01:17:58if not for merit,
01:17:59for hard work.
01:18:00When you stopped Consort Willa
01:18:01from letting me see her,
01:18:03you should have anticipated
01:18:03this day.
01:18:05Had you told the truth
01:18:06back then,
01:18:07I might have spared your life.
01:18:09Your majesty,
01:18:10do you not have
01:18:11even a bit of affection for me?
01:18:13I only have
01:18:15my lifesaver in my heart
01:18:16all this time.
01:18:17Willa,
01:18:17I fell close to you
01:18:20the first time I saw you,
01:18:21as if we had met before.
01:18:22And now,
01:18:24I understand everything.
01:18:26And you, Jasmine,
01:18:28you are so heartless,
01:18:29you deserve to die.
01:18:34Your majesty,
01:18:36you are truly infatuated,
01:18:37aren't you?
01:18:38You forgot she betrayed you.
01:18:40She is now pregnant
01:18:41with another man's child.
01:18:42And you do not mind this?
01:18:44Who said the child
01:18:45in Willa's womb
01:18:45is illegitimate?
01:18:46Did you really think
01:18:47John was your man?
01:18:49What?
01:18:50Back then,
01:18:51you repeatedly drugged me
01:18:52with Rosemary,
01:18:53pretending that I had sex with you.
01:18:54It made me suspicious already.
01:18:56How did
01:18:57that kind girl from before
01:19:00become a woman like this?
01:19:02So,
01:19:03when you saw Willa again,
01:19:04you became more suspicious of me?
01:19:06And you
01:19:07conspired with her against me?
01:19:08Precisely.
01:19:10Meet me at midnight,
01:19:11Imperial Lake Garden.
01:19:14Your majesty,
01:19:16tonight will be quite the show.
01:19:18Then tonight,
01:19:19I
01:19:19will follow your plan.
01:19:22So, Jasmine,
01:19:23for you to understand
01:19:24what happened,
01:19:24those tricks of yours
01:19:25were petty compared to ours.
01:19:27We arranged for John
01:19:28to draw you into the game.
01:19:32So tonight's events
01:19:34was a trap set by you?
01:19:36His majesty imprisoned you
01:19:37just to make me reveal
01:19:38the truth of that year?
01:19:40So it turns out
01:19:41I have always been
01:19:42in the palm of your hand?
01:19:43Precisely.
01:19:44No.
01:19:45I don't believe it.
01:19:46Your majesty,
01:19:46tell me all of this is false, right?
01:19:50Jasmine,
01:19:51you are truly pitiful.
01:19:53You exploited what I did
01:19:54and lived a life of glory
01:19:55in the palace,
01:19:55but in the end,
01:19:56you did nothing
01:19:57to earn his majesty's favor.
01:19:58Your majesty,
01:19:58what you said
01:19:59is not true,
01:20:00am I right?
01:20:01Whatever Willa says,
01:20:02so it shall be.
01:20:03So off,
01:20:04this was truly your trap, huh?
01:20:06You have such a cruel heart.
01:20:11I plotted everything,
01:20:12but in the end,
01:20:14I still lost.
01:20:15Jasmine,
01:20:16I had intended to consider
01:20:18the years you faithfully served me
01:20:19and spare your life,
01:20:20but now,
01:20:21I have changed my mind.
01:20:23No, your majesty!
01:20:24Please spare my life,
01:20:25I was wrong!
01:20:26Guards,
01:20:26execute them!
01:20:27No, your majesty!
01:20:28Your majesty,
01:20:29I beg you!
01:20:30Willa,
01:20:30are you alright?
01:20:31I am fine.
01:20:32Just a little tired.
01:20:33I will accompany you to rest.
01:20:37Your majesty!
01:20:38Please spare my life!
01:20:39Don't go,
01:20:40your majesty!
01:20:40Your majesty!
01:20:47Willa,
01:20:49you've suffered through these years.
01:20:52I don't know how to compensate you.
01:20:54Things are not so grave.
01:20:56I have long been accustomed to a peaceful life.
01:21:01I...
01:21:02I wish to make you the most honored woman in the world.
01:21:05Willa,
01:21:07I...
01:21:08want to make you the empress.
01:21:10Your majesty,
01:21:11this mustn't be done.
01:21:13But why not?
01:21:13You are my lifesaver.
01:21:15You are also
01:21:16the one I love.
01:21:17Your majesty,
01:21:18I cannot.
01:21:20Willa,
01:21:22don't refuse me.
01:21:24Just give me a chance.
01:21:27And give yourself a chance as well.
01:21:36Consort Willa,
01:21:37I have eaten what you prepared for me.
01:21:39My health has improved quite a bit indeed.
01:21:41Indeed?
01:21:42Suddenly,
01:21:42Consort Willa knows pharmacology.
01:21:44These people are looking for trouble again.
01:21:46Your majesty,
01:21:47after his majesty took the throne,
01:21:48the succession grew thin.
01:21:50His time is spent with Consort Willa these days.
01:21:52I wish to ask
01:21:53your majesty to persuade his majesty
01:21:55to extend his favor
01:21:56equally to extend the line.
01:21:58Yes, your majesty.
01:21:59While it's important for Consort Willa
01:22:01to serve his majesty,
01:22:02other consorts in the harem
01:22:04also wish to bear his majesty
01:22:05a son or a daughter.
01:22:06The emperor dotes on her
01:22:08because she is capable.
01:22:09If you're capable too
01:22:10and you can make the emperor
01:22:11dote on you,
01:22:12I would like that very much too.
01:22:16Pesky old woman.
01:22:19Her majesty is truly
01:22:20my greatest supporter.
01:22:26Willa!
01:22:27Willa!
01:22:31Are you truly leaving?
01:22:37Your majesty,
01:22:38I truly can't stand
01:22:40all the backstabbing
01:22:40in the harem anymore.
01:22:42Please grant me this favor.
01:22:44I know.
01:22:46The harem is rife with strife.
01:22:48You've suffered.
01:22:49You are now carrying my child,
01:22:51so I cannot let you leave.
01:22:53That's precisely why
01:22:54I have more reason to leave.
01:22:55I cannot let our child
01:22:57be put in danger.
01:22:59Willa!
01:23:00Don't you hold any affection
01:23:01for me at all?
01:23:02Your majesty,
01:23:04please forget about me.
01:23:06I cannot do that.
01:23:07I am willing to disperse the harem for you.
01:23:10What if I were to say,
01:23:11I am not the willa you think I am?
01:23:13I already know.
01:23:15I had it investigated.
01:23:17The former willa did not
01:23:18possess medical skills,
01:23:19but you were skilled.
01:23:21And so,
01:23:22you knew all along
01:23:23I was not the real willa,
01:23:24yet you still wanted to keep me
01:23:25in the palace?
01:23:26I do not care
01:23:27who you are at all.
01:23:28But from the moment
01:23:29you appeared,
01:23:31you occupied
01:23:32my entire heart,
01:23:33Willa.
01:23:35Your every frown
01:23:36and smile,
01:23:37every move you make,
01:23:38they are
01:23:40deeply ingrained
01:23:41in my mind.
01:23:42Are you sure?
01:23:43It's not because of this body
01:23:44that I inhabit?
01:23:45I love everything
01:23:46that you are.
01:23:47Your gentleness,
01:23:49your intelligence,
01:23:50your strength,
01:23:51even your occasional temper.
01:23:52I love you as a person,
01:23:55regardless of status,
01:23:56regardless of the past.
01:24:03The moment has arrived!
01:24:09By heaven's grace,
01:24:10the Emperor decrees!
01:24:12Consort Willa is virtuous,
01:24:14gentle and kind,
01:24:15beautiful and wise.
01:24:16My heart delights.
01:24:17She is hereby promoted
01:24:18to the rank of Empress,
01:24:20thus ordered!
01:24:32Thank you,
01:24:33Your Majesty,
01:24:33for your grace.
01:24:34From this day on,
01:24:36you shall be my Empress.
01:24:57Long live the Emperor,
01:24:58His Majesty!
01:24:59On this day,
01:25:00may the Empress
01:25:01rule ever noble
01:25:02with grace and sway!
