Short filmTranscript
00:00My mother and I lived in a remote village for 8 years.
00:03During those 8 years, my father never came once.
00:06Only two maidservants took care of us, but in fact, they were just guarding us.
00:10Not allowing us to run around freely or have contact with outsiders.
00:14The village was so remote that the job of guarding us was a hard one.
00:17The two maidservants were resentful and always took it out on my mother and me.
00:21They called my mother a whore and said that she should have killed herself after losing her virtue.
00:25They called me a bastard, claiming that I was the result of my mother's affair with another man.
00:30My mother would defend me and argue with them, but every time she was beaten until she was covered in
00:34bruises.
00:35Once, when my mother was beaten again, I sneaked under their bed at night, planning to pretend to be a
00:40ghost to scare them.
00:41But I overheard them chatting at night and learned that all the insults and beatings were ordered by the second
00:46wife of the manor.
00:47The purpose was to make my mother and me unable to bear the suffering and commit suicide.
00:51It wasn't that the second wife was afraid to kill us, but that she and my father were concerned about
00:56their reputation.
00:57If we were found dead and any clues were discovered, it would be a handle for others to use against
01:02them.
01:03My father's career was at its peak and he couldn't afford to take such a risk.
01:07So they could only slowly torture us like cutting with a blunt knife, and our suicide would be the best
01:12outcome for them.
01:13Of course, even if it was discovered that our suicide was caused by the torture of the servants,
01:17my father and the second wife could still claim that they lived far away and couldn't control their servants,
01:21thus washing their hands of the matter completely.
01:25I told my mother about this matter, but she didn't make a fuss.
01:29Instead, she began to secretly teach me to read and write, as well as some rules I didn't understand.
01:34I was not willing to accept this and wanted to ask my father for confirmation, but my mother sternly stopped
01:40me.
01:40Defiant, I tried to sneak away, and finally managed to get on the carriage when the manor was sending supplies
01:45to the village and followed it back to the manor.
01:47It was my first time seeing the Parker Manor.
01:50It was magnificent with carved beams and painted pillars.
01:53I was wearing tattered clothes, and was treated as a beggar and kicked out.
01:57Right at the entrance of the manor.
01:59I saw my father coming back in a sedan chair with a delicate and pretty little girl.
02:03I went up to call my father, but was kicked down by his guards.
02:06My father looked at me with disdain and ordered someone to send me back to the village.
02:10His tone was cold and he looked at me as if I were a disgrace.
02:13I heard the girl ask my father who I was.
02:16My father gently told her,
02:18Just a beggar.
02:19Beggars are dirty.
02:21Emily doesn't look at them, or she'll dirty her eyes.
02:23Later, I learned that the girl was the daughter of the second wife, named Parker Emily.
02:28At only 7 years old, she was already renowned for her talent and was my father's pride.
02:33At the age of 8, I still naively believed that as long as I studied hard,
02:37I could be as favored by my father as Parker Emily.
02:40So I studied hard with my mother.
02:42As I grew older and more beautiful year by year,
02:45my mother's brows became more and more furrowed.
02:47She didn't allow me to dress up.
02:49To prevent the two nannies who guarded us from noticing my appearance,
02:52she even made me deliberately look ugly.
02:54On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony,
02:56my mother said something to the nannies in charge of us,
02:59and they actually took her back to the manor.
03:01But it was only half a day before my mother returned.
03:04She came back very sad.
03:06I didn't know what had happened to her in the manor.
03:08My mother didn't tell me anything,
03:10but just kept teaching me the four arts of music,
03:12chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as needlework.
03:17Not long after, my mother committed suicide without any warning.
03:21She left a suicide note filled with her own remorse,
03:23saying that she had defiled herself and didn't deserve to live.
03:26I didn't believe what was written in my mother's note.
03:28Nor did I believe she had committed suicide.
03:31I fought with the two nuns who were guarding us,
03:33thinking they had forced her to do it,
03:35but they knocked me unconscious.
03:37When I woke up again,
03:38I rushed out of the estate and went to the county magistrate's office to ask for an autopsy.
03:42The result was that my mother had indeed committed suicide.
03:46The nuns guarding us told me,
03:47Stop causing trouble.
03:49Your slut of a mother committed suicide.
03:51She made a deal with the grand tutor and the second lady.
03:54Her suicide saved the face of the Parker family.
03:57In exchange, you'll be given a good family to marry into.
04:01The second lady is kind-hearted and has already found a good match for you.
04:05He's a lame widower who slaughters pigs.
04:07It's your good fortune to be able to marry him.
04:10Get ready, he'll come to take you in a few days.
04:13The nuns smiled smugly,
04:14seemingly happy that they wouldn't have to continue guarding me and my mother.
04:17This time, I didn't make a fuss or cause a scene.
04:20The two nuns thought I had resigned myself to my fate.
04:23But little did they know that in the middle of the night,
04:26after they fell asleep, I carried my mother's body and ran away.
04:30When I reached the capital, the brown was already high in the sky.
04:33I carried my mother's body to the Parker residence,
04:36determined to seek justice for her from Parker Michael.
04:39When I arrived at the gate of the Parker residence,
04:41I saw a long wedding procession coming out,
04:43a true ten miles of red, extremely grand.
04:46I heard the people around me talking.
04:48It turned out that my dear sister, Parker Emily,
04:51was going to the palace today to accompany the emperor
04:53and become the new emperor's concubine.
04:55I saw my father standing at the gate to see her off.
04:58His face full of joy.
05:00Those officials were saying all kinds of flattering words to him.
05:03I saw a look of pride on his face.
05:05It was obvious that my mother's death had no effect on him at all,
05:08it was even a cause for celebration.
05:10I stood in the crowd, carrying my mother's body,
05:13and just watched quietly.
05:14The silver coins and candies thrown by the servants and maids hit me,
05:17but I felt no pain at all.
05:19I clenched my hands tightly, my nails digging into my palms.
05:23I silently swore that I would avenge my mother.
05:25I would make Parker Michael and everyone in the Parker residence pay for her death.
05:33The Treasures Building is the largest auction house in our dynasty.
05:37Here, there are all kinds of rare treasures in the world.
05:39There is nothing that the Treasures Building cannot obtain,
05:42and there is nothing that the Treasures Building dares not auction.
05:45No one knows who is behind the Treasures Building,
05:48but neither the Sons of Nobles nor the Descendants of Noble Families dare to be unruly here.
05:52At this moment, I am standing on the top floor of the Treasures Building,
05:56looking at the Manager Brown in front of me.
05:58Miss, what do you want to buy?
06:00I'm not buying anything.
06:01I'm selling something.
06:05What are you selling, Miss?
06:07A thing worth 500,000 tiles.
06:10Can you make the decision?
06:13Although I'm just the Manager,
06:14I can make the decision for Fiverland Tile.
06:17Please tell me what you want.
06:20I'm selling myself.
06:27I'm the eldest daughter of the current Prime Minister and the elder sister of the Imperial Convent.
06:32I'm worth 500,000 Tangs.
06:34Now I want to sell myself to bury my mother.
06:37This news will make the Treasures Bilk of the entire capital and your reputations even higher.
06:42This deal won't be a loss for you.
06:43The Treasures Building claims that there is nothing you dare not auction.
06:48Now, do you dare to take on this deal?
06:52Miss, please wait a moment.
06:54He left, obviously to consult the owner behind the Treasures Building.
06:57After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea,
07:00Brown returned and said,
07:03Miss, we'll take your deal.
07:05The auction will start in three days.
07:07Before the action, I hope the Treasures Hill can for me do three young things.
07:10Please tell me, Haji.
07:11The first thing's probably the new is that I'm I'm selling myself to bury my moots in.
07:15And the new is that I'm Cheikh of Alsternur and the Dave Ayinbe Noon who are her throughout the Sud,
07:20even in the Imperial Hallis.
07:22The second thing is to protect me for three days.
07:26During these three days, no matter who puts pressure on the Treasures Bill,
07:29you must not cancel this auction or hand me over.
07:31I said to Brown,
07:33Miss, you're going to have a life and death struggle with the Prime Minister.
07:37But the Treasures Building agrees.
07:39I smiled.
07:41Of course.
07:42Although Parker Michael is the top minister and has countless people fawning over him,
07:46there are still people who want to see him lose face.
07:48On the day of the auction,
07:50I want to make Parker Michael the laughingstock of the entire capital.
07:53But what I want is not just to make Parker Michael lose face.
07:56I want to seek justice for my mother.
08:02Sure enough,
08:03the news that I was going to sell myself to bury my mother spread throughout the capital in less than
08:06half a
08:07day and caused a huge stir.
08:08Along with this news,
08:10the story of how my mother was raped by bandits 17 years ago while trying to save Parker Michael also
08:14came to life.
08:15Although it had been 17 years and not many people remembered,
08:18I did.
08:19My mother died because of this.
08:21While Parker Michael,
08:22the beneficiary,
08:23lived a carefree life.
08:25This was too unfair,
08:26so I had someone spread this story.
08:28Some people said that Parker Michael mistreated my mother and me,
08:31and even after our deaths,
08:33we had no money for a proper burial,
08:34which was why I was selling myself to bury my mother.
08:37Others said that Parker Michael was ungrateful and had betrayed his original wife.
08:41There were also those who said that the position of the imperial concubine should have been mine,
08:45because the new emperor was originally going to marry the daughter of the prime minister,
08:48and I was the legitimate daughter,
08:50while Parker Emily was born to the second wife and was technically a concubine's daughter.
08:54It was only a short while before an enraged Parker Michael,
08:57accompanied by several fierce-looking servants armed with sticks,
09:00came to the Treasures Building to take me away.
09:03They said they were taking me away,
09:04but their attitude clearly indicated that they were prepared to kill me on the spot.
09:08Fortunately,
09:09I had already hidden in a safe place.
09:11Parker Michael searched the Treasures Building thoroughly but failed to find me,
09:15and could only leave in frustration.
09:17Manager Brown told me that Parker Michael had left spies around the Treasures Building,
09:21asking me not to show up.
09:22Besides,
09:23the palace had also sent people to keep an eye on the Treasures Building,
09:26and many of Parker Michael's political rivals had also stationed people there.
09:30I wasn't surprised at all,
09:31as I had expected.
09:33So I was prepared to stay hidden for three days.
09:36Manager Brown also informed me that Parker Emily had entered the palace to accompany the emperor for the first time
09:41yesterday,
09:41but because of my incident,
09:43the emperor didn't even visit her quarters.
09:46I smiled slightly upon hearing this.
09:48This was just the beginning,
09:50the retribution for the Parker family was only just starting.
09:53Three days passed quickly.
09:54On the third day,
09:56the auction hall of the Treasures Building was packed,
09:58and it was at this time that I made my appearance.
10:03I sat on the high platform,
10:05surrounded by customers who had come for the auction.
10:07I was being scrutinized like a commodity,
10:09but I remained calm and composed,
10:11not caring at all.
10:12I looked around and saw Parker Michael sitting in the middle,
10:15his face full of anger and his eyes burning with rage.
10:18If this weren't the Treasures Building,
10:20perhaps he would have already ordered someone to come and kill me.
10:22I glanced at him and moved on without a second glance.
10:25My gaze finally rested on a private box on the second floor.
10:29The shopkeeper, Brown,
10:30had told me that the person in that box was from the palace,
10:33but he didn't know exactly who it was.
10:36Today's auction isn't a public bidding.
10:38Instead, the starting price is 200,000 thailands.
10:41Each person would write down their price on a piece of paper,
10:44and this lady would be the one to check them all.
10:47The highest bidder would win.
10:49I saw a determined look flash in Parker Michael's eyes.
10:52At that moment, he stood up and said,
10:54I am the father of this scoundrel.
10:56He has done such a disgraceful thing today.
10:58It's my fault for not teaching him well.
11:00I will bid 200,000 thails today.
11:03I hope everyone will show me respect.
11:05After saying that,
11:07Parker Michael looked around
11:08as if trying to remember everyone's faces.
11:10I smiled.
11:11What he said was a threat.
11:13It seemed that not many people would dare to bid now.
11:16Fortunately, it was a secret auction.
11:18Maybe someone would really dare to bid higher
11:20than Parker Michael.
11:22Half an hour later,
11:23Brown handed me all the bidding slips.
11:25I opened them one by one and made notes.
11:27Daniel Wilson, the Vice Minister of Personnel,
11:30bid 1,000 thails.
11:33David Johnson, the Deputy Chief Justice
11:35of the Supreme Court, bid 8,000 thails.
11:37William Thomas, the Chancellor of the Imperial College,
11:40bid 10,000 thails.
11:42These people all showed respect to Parker Michael,
11:44the Grand Tudor,
11:45and didn't dare to bid too high.
11:47However, they still offered a decent price,
11:50not degrading the daughter of the Grand Tudor.
11:52They really managed to please both sides.
11:54I opened the last slip.
11:56It read, Parker Michael, 200,000 thails.
11:59The highest bid in the entire auction.
12:03Master Brown looked at the price above
12:05and whispered in my ear.
12:06Treasure's building only cares about the price.
12:08You can only hope for the best.
12:10I understood Master Brown's meaning.
12:12He thought that if I was bought by Parker Michael,
12:15it would surely be a bad outcome for me.
12:17But Treasure's building only recognized the price
12:19and wouldn't care about anything else.
12:21This was their code of conduct
12:23and they wouldn't break it for me.
12:25This time the highest bidder
12:26is Minister Parker Michael,
12:28who offered 500,000 thailangs.
12:31Parker Michael's face turned stiff
12:33and he was about to stand up to refute me.
12:35The second highest bid was 490,000 thails,
12:38just 1,000 thails short.
12:41Parker Michael opened his mouth
12:43but didn't say anything.
12:44I knew he might suspect that I was lying,
12:46but he didn't dare to bet
12:48because he was determined to get me.
12:49If I was bought by someone else today,
12:51Parker Michael, the Grand Tudor,
12:53would lose all face
12:54and I would be out of his control.
12:56That might cause endless trouble
12:57for him in the future.
12:58So now he could only suffer this silent loss.
13:01Parker Michael's face turned ashen,
13:03He took out 500,000 thails of silver notes
13:05from his pocket
13:06and handed them to the people
13:07from Treasure's building.
13:08Then he was about to come forward
13:10and pull me away.
13:11I shook off his hand
13:12and took the 400,000 thails of silver
13:14from Master Brown.
13:16Treasure's building took 20%
13:17of the auction price,
13:18so I only got 400,000 thails.
13:20You wretched girl.
13:22Come with me to the mansion.
13:23I'll deal with you when we get there.
13:25You can't take this 400,000 thails either.
13:28Minister Parker,
13:29I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
13:32Then, without waiting for his reaction,
13:35I said to the private room
13:36on the second floor,
13:37This common,
13:38Grace Clark is willing to don't
13:39send right how into the Benjiing Shandals
13:41and off a priceless barbell
13:43can give oeuvres of patrons.
13:45I only hope to be allowed
13:46to serve in the palace.
13:48Clark was my mother's surname.
13:49I hated the surname Parker.
13:54As soon as I said this,
13:56Parker Michaels faced Mikhaila dramatically.
13:58He glared at me and shouted
13:59towards the private room
14:00on the second floor.
14:02This brat is just joking!
14:05The new emperor had just ascended the throne
14:07and the border was unstable.
14:09There had been several conflicts
14:11and the emperor intended to launch a war
14:13to intimidate the barbarians
14:14and establish his authority.
14:16However, the civil officials
14:17led by Parker Michael
14:18were opposed to the military
14:19taking too much power.
14:21and the treasury was empty,
14:22so the matter had been delayed.
14:24At this moment,
14:25I was willing to donate 400,
14:26000 tails of silver
14:28as provisions to support the emperor.
14:30This was like a shot in the arm
14:32and I believed that
14:33the emperor would be moved.
14:35Immediately after,
14:36a small eunuch hurriedly
14:37came downstairs to me.
14:39I took out something from my sleeve
14:40and handed it to the eunuch
14:42who rushed upstairs with it.
14:44By the grace of heaven,
14:46the emperor decrees
14:47that Grace Clark
14:48is to be enorbled
14:50as Concon's clerk
14:51and enter the palace today.
14:53I took the imperial edict
14:55and felt relieved.
14:56Parker Michael's face turned ashen.
14:57You bitch!
14:58You're just as disgusting
14:59as your bitch of a mother!
15:00You should have died long ago!
15:01I should have strangled you at birth!
15:04Do you really think
15:05that once I'm in the palace,
15:06you can't kill me?
15:08I didn't care about
15:09Parker Michael's curses at all.
15:11Instead,
15:12I found it rather amusing.
15:16Riding in a sedan chair
15:17to the palace,
15:18I was in a good mood.
15:19I had won today's confrontation,
15:21but it was just a stroke of luck.
15:23Parker Michael was unprepared,
15:25which allowed me
15:26to take advantage
15:26of the situation.
15:28The so-called treasure I had
15:29was the list of all the officials
15:30who had bid at the auction today,
15:32along with the amount
15:32of silver they had spent.
15:34The imperial treasury was empty,
15:36yet these officials
15:37had been trying poor to the emperor.
15:39Now,
15:39they were spending so freely
15:40at the auction.
15:41If they could spend
15:42so much money on a woman,
15:44they should also be willing
15:45to contribute that much
15:46to support the war on the border.
15:48With this list,
15:49the emperor could force
15:50those officials to donate money
15:51to support the war.
15:52Although it was just a list,
15:54it was indeed a treasure
15:55that could solve
15:56the emperor's immediate problem.
15:57I moved into the blessing palace.
15:59The first thing I did
16:00after entering the palace
16:01was to donate all the dowry
16:03that Parker Michael
16:03had given me
16:04to the imperial treasury.
16:06I found Parker Michael's
16:07things dirty
16:08and only kept
16:08my mother's dowry carefully.
16:10My action made
16:11the emperor very happy,
16:12and he immediately praised me
16:13for my righteousness
16:14and bestowed me
16:15with many treasures.
16:16Half a day after
16:17entering the palace,
16:18the head of the imperial
16:19household department
16:20came to my courtyard
16:21with several maids and eunuchs.
16:23Conscient clerk,
16:24these servants have all
16:26been well trained
16:26by the imperial
16:27household department.
16:28Please take a look
16:29and see if there is
16:30anyone you like.
16:32I glanced at the row
16:33of maids and eunuchs
16:34and then looked at the head
16:35of the imperial
16:36household department.
16:37You pick a few for me.
16:38I have only one requirement.
16:40The servants you pick
16:41can be the emperor
16:42and imperial consents spies,
16:43but they must not be spies
16:44for Parker imperial consents
16:46and Parker Michael.
16:47If I find out,
16:48I will kill you
16:49even if it costs me my life.
16:50Think it over carefully.
16:52Is the silver Parker Michael
16:54gave you more important
16:55than your life?
16:55Don't take my words lightly.
16:57I swear to heaven
16:58that I will never stop
16:59until I succeed.
17:00My words made the head
17:01of the imperial
17:02household department's
17:03face change.
17:04Contrabein Clark is joking.
17:05How could I dare?
17:08I continued drinking my tea
17:10and ignored him.
17:11The head of the imperial
17:12household department's
17:13face changed for a long time.
17:15Then he picked a few eunuchs
17:16and maids and led the others
17:17to leave with a bow.
17:20After entering the palace,
17:22I needed to pay my respects
17:23to the empress.
17:24When I arrived at the
17:25empress's phoenix palace,
17:26there were already
17:27quite a few people inside.
17:29The empress was sitting
17:30in the middle
17:30and I went forward
17:31to pay my respects.
17:33My movements were
17:34extremely standard
17:35as if I had practiced
17:36them thousands of times.
17:37The concubines who were
17:38waiting to see me
17:39make a fool of myself
17:40were all somewhat surprised
17:41because they all knew
17:41that I had been raised
17:42in a dilapidated manner
17:43and had never been
17:44disciplined since childhood
17:45and thus must be coarse
17:47and unfit for the palace.
17:48But they never expected
17:50me to be so dignified
17:51and refined.
17:53Conceivine Clark,
17:54please rise.
17:55Take a seat.
17:57I stood up
17:58and walked to the side
17:59to sit down.
18:00My gaze fell on
18:01a woman opposite me.
18:02I knew she was
18:02Parker Emily,
18:03the current emperor's
18:04concubine of high rank
18:05and the daughter
18:06of Parker Michael
18:06whom he was so proud of.
18:08Today is
18:09confine Clark's
18:10first day in the palace.
18:12From now on,
18:13we are all sisters.
18:14We must get along
18:16harmonially.
18:17Parker Emily
18:18looked at me,
18:19her eyes full of resentment.
18:20Sister,
18:21you have quite the talent.
18:22Your mother just passed
18:23her three days ago
18:24and you can't wait
18:25to enter the palace.
18:26Selling yourself
18:27to bury your mother
18:28and pretending to be pitiful
18:29to gain sympathy,
18:30what a good trick.
18:31I wonder if your mother
18:32can rest in peace
18:32knowing your behavior.
18:35I glanced at the empress.
18:36She had just said
18:37that we should get along
18:38harmoniously,
18:39but Parker Emily
18:40immediately started
18:41to mock me.
18:42It seemed that she was
18:43not giving the empress
18:44any face and was also
18:45trying to give me a warning.
18:46Parker Emily's eagerness
18:47to mock me must be
18:48because of what I did before.
18:50I first donated
18:51400,000 tales
18:52to the national treasury
18:53and then sent the 100,
18:55000 tales of dowry
18:56given by Parker Michael
18:57to the national treasury
18:58as well.
18:59Everyone praised me
19:00for my loyalty
19:01and righteousness.
19:01But Parker Emily
19:03was put in a difficult position
19:04because as the daughter
19:05of Parker Michael,
19:06she had to decide
19:07whether to donate
19:08her dowry or not.
19:09If she didn't,
19:10it would make her
19:11look selfish.
19:12If she did,
19:13she would be reluctant
19:14to part with it.
19:15This was exactly
19:16the result I wanted.
19:17I wanted everyone
19:18in the Parker family
19:19to be restless.
19:20The other concubines
19:21all stared at me
19:22with a look of schadenfreude.
19:23I smiled.
19:24I was not a pushover.
19:28Sister, remember
19:29that my mother
19:29passed away
19:30just three days ago.
19:31When my mother
19:32your stepmother
19:33passed away
19:33you, a conkin's daughter
19:34could get married.
19:35Why can't I
19:36a legitimate daughter
19:37do the same?
19:39I don't know
19:40my muchly band scenes
19:41but I'm sure
19:42your mother
19:42the conchette shriek
19:43and pole of me.
19:46Now everyone knows
19:48that the so-called
19:49second wife
19:49is just a self-deceiving calm.
19:52You will be a cup's daughter
19:53for the rest of
19:54a legitimate daughter
19:54to become a concubine
19:55of high rank.
19:56The emperor
19:57hadn't visited her chambers
19:58in the past three days
19:59making her a laughing stock.
20:01She was about to retort
20:02when the empress
20:03interrupted directly.
20:04Enough.
20:05Concibine Clark
20:06stay.
20:07The rest of you
20:08leave.
20:17Parker Emily
20:18was unwilling
20:19but had no choice
20:20but to leave
20:21with the other concubines.
20:22After they had all left
20:23the empress
20:24turned to me
20:24and said
20:26Concibine Clark
20:27the emperor
20:27and I know
20:28about your feud
20:29the Grand Hunter Parker.
20:30You have helped
20:31the emperor this time
20:32and I will remember
20:33your goodness.
20:34Although I am also
20:35wary of the Grand Hunter Parker
20:36in the palace
20:37and protect you.
20:38In the half day
20:38since I entered the palace
20:39the emperor
20:40had already gone
20:41to the homes
20:41of various officials
20:42with the list
20:42I gave him
20:43forcing them to donate.
20:45He had solid evidence
20:46and for the sake
20:47of the country
20:47those people
20:48could no longer
20:49pretend they had no money.
20:50I looked at the empress
20:52pondering her words.
20:53Empress
20:55I appreciate
20:55your kindness
20:57but I will never
20:58stop fighting
20:59with the entire
20:59Parker family
21:00until we are both dead.
21:03The empress sighed
21:04Why go through
21:05all this trouble?
21:06You have no power
21:07or influence
21:08how can you fight?
21:09I remained silent.
21:11In the end
21:12the empress
21:13could only let me leave.
21:16On my first night
21:17in the palace
21:18it was customary
21:19for me to sleep
21:19with the emperor.
21:20That was the unspoken
21:22rule in the palace.
21:22At the hour of you
21:24the emperor
21:24came to my blessing palace.
21:26I went forward
21:27and bowed
21:27Your majesty
21:28may you be well.
21:29Rise
21:31and then walked
21:32to the table
21:32and sat down.
21:33I recognized
21:34this voice
21:34as the one
21:35I had heard
21:35in the private room
21:36earlier today.
21:37At this moment
21:38the small eunuch
21:39by the emperor's side
21:40led everyone out.
21:41I knew the emperor
21:42had something to say.
21:44Contribent clerk
21:45today
21:46Grand Tutor Parker
21:47came to see me
21:48and asked me
21:48to send you
21:49to the cold palace.
21:50Nana, what did
21:51your majesty say?
21:53I have just
21:54dumped a throat
21:54and Chalting
21:55lets me distilled
21:56and Ming were
21:57in the lavage
21:58and Chalph Parker.
22:00Chalph Parker's
22:01supports were
22:01Chalting
22:02with dims in welling.
22:04After the emperor
22:05finished speaking
22:05he looked troubled
22:06and took a sip of tea.
22:08Your majesty
22:09really sounded dying
22:10but I just
22:10bumbly
22:11wash one down
22:12the inns away pigs.
22:14The soldiers
22:15on the border
22:15will remember
22:16this favor.
22:17If your majesty
22:18punish me
22:18not in Notting
22:19the Sherbing
22:19be disheart
22:19and the Servie
22:20be disheart.
22:21I have always
22:22been loyal
22:23to your majesty.
22:26Concubine clerk
22:27you are very smart.
22:28You have been
22:28calculating
22:29since the auction.
22:30You are so smart
22:31as so smart.
22:32Can you guess
22:33if I agreed?
22:34Your majesty
22:35will not agree.
22:37Why?
22:38The reasons
22:38you just gave
22:39are not enough
22:39for me to
22:40reject Grand Tudor
22:41Parker's offer
22:43because I can
22:44just send you
22:44to the Cold Palace
22:45six months later
22:45when everything
22:46has calmed down
22:47and find any
22:47excuse I want.
22:51Because the emperor
22:51is the emperor
22:52the son of Tevin.
22:53The emperor
22:54is not controlled
22:54by anyone.
22:56Parker Michael
22:57helped you once
22:58but what about
22:58the second time
22:59the third time?
23:01So the emperor
23:02will not agree.
23:03Ben looked
23:03at the emperor.
23:04The emperor
23:05didn't speak
23:05his cold eyes
23:06staring at me.
23:07After a while
23:08he suddenly burst
23:09into laughter.
23:16I could tell
23:17that the emperor
23:18had a moment
23:18of murderous intent
23:19just now.
23:20Serving the emperor
23:21is like serving a tiger.
23:22The emperor
23:23doesn't allow smart people
23:24in the harem.
23:25Your majesty
23:26would you like
23:27to make a deal
23:27with me?
23:29Tell me what you
23:30have in mind.
23:32I'll help you
23:33bring down
23:33Parker Michael.
23:35After Parker Michael
23:36falls.
23:37I hope your majesty
23:39will allow me
23:39to leave the palace
23:40and go to the
23:41Baisuan temple
23:41to practice Buddhism.
23:43I finished speaking
23:44and looked at the emperor.
23:45I agree with you
23:46but do you know
23:47the influence
23:48Parker Michael
23:48has in the court?
23:51How dare you
23:52speak so boldly?
23:53I nodded.
23:54Parker Michael
23:55is the grand tutor
23:56and all six ministries
23:57are under his control.
23:59It's like a solid
24:00iron bucket
24:00and even the emperor
24:01can't pry it open
24:02for the time being.
24:07Then I'll wait and see.
24:08After sitting in my palace
24:09for over an hour
24:10the emperor
24:11finally left.
24:13Clearly
24:13the emperor
24:14had saved my face.
24:15Everyone else
24:16would think
24:16that I had slept
24:17with him tonight.
24:21On the third day
24:22after entering the palace
24:23the emperor
24:23would come to my quarters
24:24and stay for over
24:25an hour every day.
24:26Most of the time
24:27we played chess
24:28but in the eyes
24:29of others
24:30I was extremely favored
24:31and slept with the emperor
24:32every night.
24:33I heard that the porcelain
24:34in the bamboo garden
24:35had been replaced
24:36several times.
24:37The bamboo garden
24:38was where Parker Emily lived.
24:39I could tell
24:40that the emperor
24:40was doing this on purpose
24:42just to provoke
24:42Parker Emily
24:43and her father
24:44Parker Michael.
24:45Sure enough
24:46on the fourth day
24:46news came from
24:47the Parker family
24:48that Parker Michael
24:49had divorced my mother
24:50on the grounds
24:50that she was unchaste.
24:51My mother and I
24:52had no connection
24:53with the Parker family
24:54from then on
24:55and my mother
24:55was not allowed
24:56to be buried
24:57in the Parker family's
24:58ancestral tomb.
24:59I sneered.
25:00Who cared about
25:00the Parker family's
25:01ancestral tomb?
25:03My mother would have
25:03thought it dirty
25:04to be buried there
25:05but Parker Michael
25:06had made his move
25:07so I had to respond.
25:09That afternoon
25:10I asked the emperor
25:11to issue an order
25:11for Parker Michael
25:12and his second wife
25:13to come to the palace.
25:14The emperor
25:15was reluctant at first
25:16but when I told him
25:17that this could help him
25:18break up the alliance
25:19of the civil officials
25:20he reluctantly agreed.
25:23I waited in the
25:24blessing palace
25:24for an hour.
25:25Then a young eunuch
25:26led Parker Michael
25:27and his second wife in.
25:29Parker Michael
25:29was the second
25:30most powerful person
25:31in the court
25:31and the eunuchs
25:32and maidservants
25:33all bowed to him.
25:34Parker Michael
25:34clearly enjoyed this feeling
25:36and was smug all the way.
25:37When Parker Michael
25:38saw me
25:38there was still anger
25:39in his eyes.
25:40Did you ask me
25:40to come to the palace
25:41so that your mother
25:42could be buried
25:42in the Parker family's
25:43ancestral tomb?
25:44I gave Parker Michael
25:45a cold look
25:46and then glanced
25:47at the second wife
25:47beside him.
25:48She was indeed beautiful
25:50and Parker Emily
25:51inherited her looks.
25:53Minister Parker
25:54you have such
25:55great authority
25:56you don't even bow
25:57to the emperor's
25:58concuned.
25:59Are you defying
25:59the imperial family?
26:01I sneered.
26:04Parker Michael's face
26:05froze for a moment
26:06then he gritted
26:07his teeth and bowed.
26:08The second madam's
26:09expression was also
26:10very ugly
26:10as she began to bow.
26:11I took an object
26:12out of my sleeve
26:13and placed it
26:14on the table
26:14beside me.
26:15Parker Michael
26:16and the
26:16second madam
26:17were bowing
26:18right in front
26:18of that object.
26:20When Parker Michael
26:20stood up
26:21and saw the object
26:22Grace Clark
26:23you are really
26:23too bold.
26:24The second madam's
26:25expression was also
26:26extremely ugly
26:27after seeing that thing.
26:28I, however,
26:29smiled and stroked
26:30the object beside me.
26:31It was my mother's
26:33memorial tablet
26:34made rather small
26:35so that I could
26:35carry it into the palace.
26:37Parker Michael
26:38and the second madam's
26:39bowing just now
26:39was equivalent
26:40to bowing to my mother
26:41which was why
26:42they were so angry.
26:43I just like to talk
26:44to my mother.
26:45How is that being bold?
26:47Mr. Parker
26:48please explain.
26:50Parker Michael
26:50was so angry
26:51that he couldn't speak.
26:52You made my lord
26:53bow to this slut.
26:55Does she deserve it?
26:57I sneered.
26:58Does a concubine
26:59like you have the right
26:59to question my mother's affairs?
27:01Garves!
27:02This concubine
27:03has been disrespectful to me.
27:04Slap her 30 size.
27:05The second madam
27:06looked at me
27:07with a smug expression.
27:08I stood up
27:09and slapped the second madam.
27:11I dare!
27:12You!
27:13Grand you to Parker.
27:15Have you thought it through?
27:17This slap is equivalent
27:18to slapping the face
27:19of the imperial family.
27:21Your reputation
27:22will be ruined
27:22in an instant.
27:24Parker Michael
27:24had spent his entire life
27:26protecting his reputation.
27:27How could he break
27:28his own rules
27:29for a second madam?
27:30Parker Michael
27:31was shaking with rage
27:32but in the end
27:33he didn't hit me.
27:34Instead
27:35I slapped the second madam again.
27:36I was strong
27:38while the second madam
27:39was used to a life
27:40of luxury.
27:41She was knocked
27:41to the ground
27:42by my two slaps
27:43and was completely stunned.
27:44Grace Clark
27:45I have many ways
27:46to make your life
27:47a living hell.
27:48I didn't do anything
27:49to you yesterday
27:49because of that little bit
27:51of father-daughter affection
27:52but today
27:53you have humiliated me
27:55like this.
27:56I won't let you
27:57off the hook.
27:59Mr. Parker
28:00when you forced
28:01my mother to death
28:02we were already
28:03sworn enemies.
28:07Not even half an hour
28:08after Parker Michael
28:09left with the second concubine
28:10a stack of memorials
28:11impeaching me
28:12was delivered
28:12to the imperial study.
28:14In the evening
28:14the empress
28:15came to my courtyard
28:16and said
28:17let's go for a walk
28:18at the water cloud nunnery
28:20take your mother's
28:21mary on tape with you.
28:22The water cloud nunnery
28:23was a Buddhist temple
28:24in a secluded part
28:25of the palace
28:25a place where
28:26some of the concubines
28:27would go to pray.
28:28I followed the empress
28:29to the water cloud nunnery
28:30with my mother's
28:31memorial tablet.
28:32The empress
28:33lit the incense first
28:34and then said to me
28:35let's enshone
28:36your mother's
28:36memorial tobed
28:37in the water cloud nunnery.
28:38There are palace rules
28:40that permit setting up
28:41private memorial toads
28:42in the palace.
28:42I nodded.
28:43The empress
28:44had already been
28:45very kind to me.
28:47Concert clerk
28:47this time you've
28:49caused too much trouble.
28:51The emperor
28:51has to punish you.
28:53I nodded again.
28:54I had already
28:55prepared myself.
28:56Today was the
28:57seventh day
28:57after my mother's death
28:58and I did this
28:59to vent my anger
29:00for her.
29:01Seeing my reaction
29:02the empress
29:03sighed and said
29:03fortunately
29:04you've foredone
29:05some good deeds
29:06and I've pleaded
29:06with the emperor.
29:07So this time
29:08it will be a minor
29:09schmidt as a warning.
29:10You'll be punished
29:11by copying
29:12Buddha scriptials.
29:13Concorbite Clark
29:14I can see from
29:15the memorial tablet
29:16you're carrying
29:16that you and your
29:17mother have a deep
29:18bond.
29:19Your mother's
29:19spirit in heaven
29:20wouldn't want you
29:21to take such risks.
29:22Empress
29:23there's no need
29:23to persuade me.
29:24It's a fight
29:25to death.
29:26The empress
29:27sighed again
29:27and pointed
29:28to the garden
29:28outside.
29:29Look at those
29:29little maidservants.
29:31I followed her
29:32finger and saw
29:32a group of
29:33little maidservants
29:34weeding the flowers
29:34in the garden.
29:36Perhaps because
29:37the water cloud
29:37nunnery was in
29:38the innermost part
29:39of the palace
29:39and few concubines
29:40came here,
29:41the maidservants
29:41were bold and
29:42played while working.
29:43Their laughter
29:43could be heard.
29:44This palace is full
29:46of darkness
29:46and treacherity
29:47but there is also
29:48hope and peace.
29:50If you wait for a
29:51year when everyone
29:51has forgotten about
29:52you, I can ask the
29:54emperor to let you
29:54leave the palace
29:55and find a place
29:56to live in peace.
29:57I looked at the
29:57empress and asked
29:58the question in my
29:59heart.
29:59Why are you doing
30:00this?
30:01On my first day
30:01in the palace,
30:02I felt that the
30:03empress treated me
30:04differently.
30:05Now she was even
30:06saying she would
30:06ask the emperor
30:07to let me leave
30:08the palace.
30:08This wasn't
30:09something an
30:10empress should say.
30:11The empress
30:11smiled and said,
30:12You might not
30:13believe me,
30:13but I see in you
30:15the kind of
30:15rebellious spirit
30:16I've always wanted,
30:16the kind of
30:17determination to
30:18resist everything.
30:19I've had to be
30:20the empress for my
30:20family and the
30:21emperor all my
30:22life, but you're
30:23different.
30:24You have more
30:25possibilities.
30:27All the way back,
30:29I was lost in
30:29thought about the
30:30empress's words.
30:31When I returned
30:32to the blessing
30:32palace, I saw
30:33Parker Emily
30:34leading people to
30:35guard my courtyard.
30:36As soon as
30:37Parker Emily
30:37saw me, she
30:38wanted to come
30:39and fight with
30:39me, but was
30:42held back by the
30:43maidservant
30:43beside her.
30:54Everyone's
30:54persuasion made
30:55Parker Emily
30:55calm down as
30:56well.
30:57I looked at
30:57Parker Emily
30:58and said,
30:58Do you also
30:59want to taste
31:00the flavor of
31:00a slap?
31:01Don't you just
31:02rely on the
31:02emperor's favor?
31:03I tell you,
31:04I will definitely
31:05take away your
31:06favor.
31:06Just wait and
31:07see.
31:08After saying
31:09that, Parker
31:10Emily left with
31:10her maids and
31:11eunuchs in a
31:12fierce manner.
31:12Later, it was
31:13heard that Parker
31:14Emily voluntarily
31:15went to the
31:15imperial study to
31:16serve soup.
31:17This was
31:18impossible in
31:18the past.
31:19Parker Emily
31:20always thought of
31:21herself as the
31:21daughter of the
31:22prime minister,
31:22with a noble
31:23status, and
31:24looked down upon
31:24other concubines in
31:25the palace, thinking
31:26that their serving
31:27of tonics and soup
31:28to the emperor was
31:29just flattery.
31:30She never expected
31:31that she would now
31:32lower herself to do
31:33such a thing.
31:34But she didn't
31:34expect that the
31:35emperor still came
31:36into my courtyard
31:36that night.
31:40Miss, what do
31:41you want to buy?
31:43I'm not buying
31:43anything, I'm
31:44selling something.
31:47What are you
31:48selling, miss?
31:49I'm selling
31:50myself.
31:51Sixteen years ago,
31:52when my mother was
31:53pregnant with me,
31:54she went back to
31:55our hometown with
31:55my father to pay
31:56homage to our
31:57ancestors.
31:58However, they
31:59encountered bandits
32:00on the way.
32:01My mother, in
32:02order to save my
32:02father, led the
32:03bandits away by
32:04herself.
32:04My father was
32:05rescued, but my
32:06mother, although
32:07she was saved in
32:08the end, was
32:09violated by the
32:09bandits while she
32:10was pregnant with
32:11me.
32:12The bandits had
32:12no humanity.
32:14Everyone said
32:15that my mother
32:15should have hanged
32:16herself with a
32:16rope after losing
32:17her virtue, but
32:18she refused.
32:19For the sake of
32:20me in her womb,
32:21she struggled to
32:21live on.
32:22My father, for
32:23the sake of his
32:24reputation, couldn't
32:25divorce her himself
32:26because it was my
32:27mother who saved
32:27him.
32:28If he divorced
32:29her, it would be
32:29seen as a breach
32:30of faith, which
32:31would hinder his
32:32official career, so
32:33he had my mother
32:34sent to a
32:34dilapidated and
32:35abandoned farm
32:35outside the
32:36capital, claiming
32:37it was to let
32:37her rest in peace
32:38and avoid gossip
32:39while she was
32:39pregnant.
32:40But that farm was
32:41in a state of
32:41disrepair and long
32:42abandoned.
32:43It was far from a
32:44good place to rest
32:45and give birth.
32:46After half a year
32:47when my mother was
32:48forgotten by
32:48everyone, my
32:49father remarried
32:50his teacher's
32:50daughter in a
32:51grand ceremony.
32:52On the day of
32:53his new marriage,
32:54my mother gave
32:54birth to me.
32:56knowingly, we
32:56name of the
32:57death in a
32:57great place.
32:57And I live in a
32:57wife, I'moning
32:57her to
32:57And I
32:58I live
