00:00Miss, ¿qué quieres comprar?
00:03No comprar nada, estoy vendiendo algo.
00:07¿Qué te vendes, Miss?
00:10Estoy vendiendo mi mismo.
00:1116 años atrás, cuando mi madre fue embarazada con mi madre,
00:14ella regresó a nuestra casa con mi padre para pagar la homenaje a nuestros ancestros.
00:18Sin embargo, ellos encontraron bandas en el camino.
00:21Mi madre, en el que salvó mi padre, llevó la bandas a la misma.
00:25Mi padre fue rescatado, pero mi madre, aunque ella fue salvado en el final,
00:28was violated by the bandits while she was pregnant with me.
00:32The bandits had no humanity.
00:34Everyone said that my mother should have hanged herself with a rope after losing her virtue,
00:38but she refused.
00:39For the sake of me in her womb, she struggled to live on.
00:43My father, for the sake of his reputation,
00:45couldn't divorce her himself because it was my mother who saved him.
00:48If he divorced her, it would be seen as a breach of faith,
00:51which would hinder his official career.
00:53So he had my mother sent to a dilapidated and abandoned farm outside the capital,
00:56claiming it was to let her rest in peace and avoid gossip while she was pregnant.
01:00But that farm was in a state of disrepair and long abandoned.
01:03It was far from a good place to rest and give birth.
01:06After half a year when my mother was forgotten by everyone,
01:09my father remarried his teacher's daughter in a grand ceremony.
01:12On the day of his new marriage, my mother gave birth to me.
01:18My mother and I lived in a remote village for eight years.
01:21During those eight years, my father never came once.
01:24Only two maidservants took care of us, but in fact, they were just guarding us,
01:29not allowing us to run around freely or have contact with outsiders.
01:32The village was so remote that the job of guarding us was a hard one.
01:36The two maidservants were resentful and always took it out on my mother and me.
01:39They called my mother a whore and said that she should have killed herself after losing her virtue.
01:43They called me a bastard, claiming that I was the result of my mother's affair with another man.
01:48My mother would defend me and argue with them,
01:50but every time she was beaten until she was covered in bruises.
01:54Once, when my mother was beaten again, I sneaked under their bed at night,
01:57planning to pretend to be a ghost to scare them.
02:00But I overheard them chatting at night and learned that
02:02all the insults and beatings were ordered by the second wife of the manor.
02:06The purpose was to make my mother and me unable to bear the suffering and commit suicide.
02:10It wasn't that the second wife was afraid to kill us,
02:13but that she and my father were concerned about their reputation.
02:16If we were found dead and any clues were discovered,
02:19it would be a handle for others to use against them.
02:21My father's career was at its peak and he couldn't afford to take such a risk.
02:25So they could only slowly torture us like cutting with a blunt knife,
02:29and our suicide would be the best outcome for them.
02:31Of course, even if it was discovered that our suicide was caused by the torture of the servants,
02:36my father and the second wife could still claim that they lived far away and couldn't control their servants,
02:40thus washing their hands of the matter completely.
02:44I told my mother about this matter, but she didn't make a fuss.
02:48Instead, she began to secretly teach me to read and write, as well as some rules I didn't understand.
02:53I was not willing to accept this and wanted to ask my father for confirmation,
02:57but my mother sternly stopped me.
02:59Defiant, I tried to sneak away,
03:01and finally managed to get on the carriage when the manor was sending supplies to the village
03:04and followed it back to the manor.
03:06It was my first time seeing the Parker Manor.
03:08It was magnificent with carved beams and painted pillars.
03:11I was wearing tattered clothes and was treated as a beggar and kicked out.
03:15Right at the entrance of the manor,
03:17I saw my father coming back in a sedan chair with a delicate and pretty little girl.
03:21I went up to call my father, but was kicked down by his guards.
03:25My father looked at me with disdain and ordered someone to send me back to the village.
03:29His tone was cold and he looked at me as if I were a disgrace.
03:32I heard the girl ask my father who I was.
03:34My father gently told her,
03:36Just a beggar.
03:38Beggars are dirty.
03:39Emily doesn't look at them, or she'll dirty her eyes.
03:42Later, I learned that the girl was the daughter of the second wife, named Parker Emily.
03:46At only 7 years old, she was already renowned for her talent and was my father's pride.
03:52At the age of 8, I still naively believed that as long as I studied hard,
03:56I could be as favored by my father as Parker Emily.
03:58So I studied hard with my mother.
04:00As I grew older and more beautiful year by year, my mother's brows became more and more furrowed.
04:06She didn't allow me to dress up.
04:07To prevent the two nannies who guarded us from noticing my appearance, she even made me deliberately
04:12look ugly.
04:13On the day of my coming of age ceremony, my mother said something to the nannies in charge
04:17of us, and they actually took her back to the manor.
04:19But it was only half the day before my mother returned.
04:22She came back very sad.
04:24I didn't know what had happened to her in the manor.
04:26My mother didn't tell me anything, but just kept teaching me the four arts of music, chess,
04:31calligraphy and painting, as well as needlework.
04:35Not long after, my mother committed suicide without any warning.
04:39She left a suicide note filled with her own remorse, saying that she had defiled herself
04:43and didn't deserve to live.
04:44I didn't believe what was written in my mother's note, nor did I believe she had committed suicide.
04:50I fought with the two nuns who were guarding us, thinking they had forced her to do it,
04:54but they knocked me unconscious.
04:55When I woke up again, I rushed out of the estate and went to the county magistrate's
04:59office to ask for an autopsy.
05:01The result was that my mother had indeed committed suicide.
05:04The nuns guarding us told me, stop causing trouble.
05:07Your slut of a mother committed suicide.
05:10She made a deal with the grand tutor and the second lady.
05:13Her suicide saved the face of the Parker family.
05:15In exchange, you'll be given a good family to marry into.
05:19The second lady is kind-hearted and has already found a good match for you.
05:23He's a lame widower who slaughters pigs.
05:26It's your good fortune to be able to marry him.
05:28Get ready.
05:29He'll come to take you in a few days.
05:31The nuns smiled smugly, seemingly happy that they wouldn't have to continue guarding me
05:35and my mother.
05:36This time, I didn't make a fuss or cause a scene.
05:39The two nuns thought I had resigned myself to my fate.
05:42But little did they know that in the middle of the night, after they fell asleep, I carried
05:46my mother's body and ran away.
05:48When I reached the capital, the brown was already high in the sky.
05:52I carried my mother's body to the Parker residence, determined to seek justice for
05:56her from Parker Michael.
05:57When I arrived at the gate of the Parker residence, I saw a long wedding procession coming out,
06:02a true ten miles of red, extremely grand.
06:04I heard the people around me talking.
06:07It turned out that my dear sister, Parker Emily, was going to the palace today to accompany
06:11the Emperor and become the new Emperor's concubine.
06:14I saw my father standing at the gate to see her off.
06:16His face full of joy.
06:18Those officials were saying all kinds of flattering words to him.
06:21I saw a look of pride on his face.
06:23It was obvious that my mother's death had no effect on him at all, it was even a cause
06:27for celebration.
06:28I stood in the crowd, carrying my mother's body, and just watched quietly.
06:33The silver coins and candies thrown by the servants and maids hit me, but I felt no pain
06:37at all.
06:37I clenched my hands tightly, my nails digging into my palms.
06:41I silently swore that I would avenge my mother.
06:44I would make Parker Michael and everyone in the Parker residence pay for her death.
06:51The Treasures Building is the largest auction house in our dynasty.
06:55Here, there are all kinds of rare treasures in the world.
06:58There is nothing that the Treasures Building cannot obtain, and there is nothing that the
07:02Treasures Building dares not auction.
07:04No one knows who is behind the Treasures Building, but neither the sons of nobles nor the descendants
07:08of noble families dare to be unruly here.
07:10At this moment, I am standing on the top floor of the Treasures Building, looking at the
07:15Manager Brown in front of me.
07:17Miss, what do you want to buy?
07:19I'm not buying anything.
07:20I'm selling something.
07:23What are you selling, Miss?
07:25A thing worth 500,000 tiles.
07:29Can you make the decision?
07:31Although I'm just the Manager, I can make the decision for Fiverland Tile.
07:35Please tell me what you want.
07:39I'm selling myself.
07:44Missna, please don't erase.
07:45I'm the eldest daughter of the current Prime Minister and the elder sister of the Imperial
07:49Convent.
07:50I'm worth 500,000 Tangs.
07:53Now I want to sell myself to bury my mother.
07:55This news will make the Treasures Bilk of the entire capital and your reputations even higher.
08:00This deal won't be a loss for you.
08:02The Treasures Building claims that there is nothing you dare not auction.
08:07Now, do you dare to take on this deal?
08:10Miss, please wait a moment.
08:12He left, obviously to consult the owner behind the Treasures Building.
08:16After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Brown returned and said,
08:21Miss, we'll take your deal.
08:23The auction will start in three days.
08:25Before the action, I hope the Treasures Hill can for me do three young things.
08:28Please tell me how, Jed.
08:30The first thing's probably the new is that I'm I'm selling myself to bury my moots in.
08:34And the new is that I'm Cheikh of Alsternur and the Dave Aeimbe known who are throughout
08:37the Sud, even in the Imperial Hallis.
08:41The second thing is to protect me for three days.
08:44During these three days, no matter who puts pressure on the Treasures Bill, you must not
08:48cancel this auction or hand me over.
08:50I said to Brown,
08:51Miss, you're going to have a life and death struggle with the Prime Minister.
08:56But the Treasures Building agrees.
08:58I smiled.
08:59Of course.
09:01Although Parker Michael is the top minister and has countless people fawning over him,
09:04there are still people who want to see him lose face.
09:07On the day of the auction, I want to make Parker Michael the laughingstock of the entire
09:11capital.
09:12But what I want is not just to make Parker Michael lose face.
09:15I want to seek justice for my mother.
09:20Sure enough, the news that I was going to sell myself to bury my mother spread throughout
09:24the capital in less than half a day and caused a huge stir.
09:27Along with this news, the story of how my mother was raped by bandits 17 years ago while
09:31trying to save Parker Michael also came to light.
09:34Although it had been 17 years and not many people remembered, I did.
09:38My mother died because of this.
09:39While Parker Michael, the beneficiary, lived a carefree life.
09:43This was too unfair, so I had someone spread this story.
09:46Some people said that Parker Michael mistreated my mother and me, and even after our deaths,
09:51we had no money for a proper burial, which was why I was selling myself to bury my mother.
09:56Others said that Parker Michael was ungrateful and had betrayed his original wife.
09:59There were also those who said that the position of the imperial concubine should have been
10:03mine, because the new emperor was originally going to marry the daughter of the prime minister,
10:07and I was the legitimate daughter, while Parker Emily was born to the second wife and was
10:11technically a concubine's daughter.
10:13It was only a short while before an enraged Parker Michael, accompanied by several fierce
10:17looking servants armed with sticks, came to the treasure's building to take me away.
10:21They said they were taking me away, but their attitude clearly indicated that they were
10:25prepared to kill me on the spot.
10:26Fortunately, I had already hidden in a safe place.
10:30Parker Michael searched the treasure's building thoroughly but failed to find me,
10:33and could only leave in frustration.
10:35Manager Brown told me that Parker Michael had left spies around the treasure's building,
10:39asking me not to show up.
10:41Besides, the palace had also sent people to keep an eye on the treasure's building,
10:45and many of Parker Michael's political rivals had also stationed people there.
10:48I wasn't surprised at all, as I had expected.
10:51So I was prepared to stay hidden for three days.
10:54Manager Brown also informed me that Parker Emily had entered the palace to accompany the
10:58Emperor for the first time yesterday, but because of my incident, the Emperor didn't
11:02even visit her quarters.
11:04I smiled slightly upon hearing this.
11:07This was just the beginning, the retribution for the Parker family was only just starting.
11:11Three days passed quickly.
11:13On the third day, the auction hall of the treasure's building was packed,
11:16and it was at this time that I made my appearance.
11:21I sat on the high platform, surrounded by customers who had come for the auction.
11:26I was being scrutinized like a commodity, but I remained calm and composed, not caring at all.
11:31I looked around and saw Parker Michael sitting in the middle, his face full of anger and his
11:35eyes burning with rage.
11:37If this weren't the treasure's building, perhaps he would have already ordered someone to come and
11:40kill me.
11:41I glanced at him and moved on without a second glance.
11:44My gaze finally rested on a private box on the second floor.
11:47The shopkeeper, Brown, had told me that the person in that box was from the palace,
11:51but he didn't know exactly who it was.
11:54Today's auction isn't a public bidding.
11:56Instead, the starting price is 200,000 thailands.
12:00Each person would write down their price on a piece of paper,
12:03and this lady would be the one to check them all.
12:05The highest bidder would win.
12:07I saw a determined look flash in Parker Michael's eyes.
12:10At that moment, he stood up and said,
12:13I am the father of this scoundrel.
12:14He has done such a disgraceful thing today.
12:17It's my fault for not teaching him well.
12:19I will bid 200,000 thails today.
12:21I hope everyone will show me respect.
12:23After saying that, Parker Michael looked around as if trying to remember everyone's faces.
12:29I smiled.
12:30What he said was a threat.
12:31It seemed that not many people would dare to bid now.
12:34Fortunately, it was a secret auction.
12:37Maybe someone would really dare to bid higher than Parker Michael.
12:40Half an hour later, Brown handed me all the bidding slips.
12:43I opened them one by one and made notes.
12:46Daniel Wilson, the Vice Minister of Personnel, bid 1,000 thails.
12:51David Johnson, the Deputy Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, bid 8,000 thails.
12:56William Thomas, the Chancellor of the Imperial College, bid 10,000 thails.
13:00These people all showed respect to Parker Michael, the grand tutor, and didn't dare to bid too high.
13:05However, they still offered a decent price, not degrading the daughter of the grand tutor.
13:10They really managed to please both sides.
13:13I opened the last slip.
13:14It read, Parker Michael, 200,000 thails.
13:18The highest bid in the entire auction.
13:21Master Brown looked at the price above and whispered in my ear.
13:24Treasure's building only cares about the price.
13:27You can only hope for the best.
13:28I understood Master Brown's meaning.
13:31He thought that if I was bought by Parker Michael, it would surely be a bad outcome for me.
13:36But Treasure's building only recognized the price and wouldn't care about anything else.
13:40This was their code of conduct and they wouldn't break it for me.
13:43This time the highest bidder is Minister Parker Michael, who offered 500,000 thailings.
13:50Parker Michael's face turned stiff and he was about to stand up to refute me.
13:54The second highest bid was 490,000 thails, just 1,000 thails short.
14:00Parker Michael opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
14:03I knew he might suspect that I was lying, but he didn't dare to bet because he was determined
14:07to get me.
14:08If I was bought by someone else today, Parker Michael, the grand tutor, would lose all face
14:13and I would be out of his control.
14:14That might cause endless trouble for him in the future.
14:17So now he could only suffer this silent loss.
14:19Parker Michael's face turned ashen.
14:22He took out 500,000 thails of silver notes from his pocket and handed them to the people
14:26from Treasure's building.
14:27Then he was about to come forward and pull me away.
14:30I shook off his hand and took the 400,000 thails of silver from Master Brown.
14:34Treasure's building took 20% of the auction price, so I only got 400,000 thails.
14:39You wretched girl.
14:40Come with me to the mansion.
14:42I'll deal with you when we get there.
14:44You can't take this 400,000 thails either.
14:47Minister Parker, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
14:51Then, without waiting for his reaction, I said to the private room on the second floor,
14:56This common Grace Clark is willing to don't send right how into the Benjing Shandals and
15:00off a priceless barbell can give urban patrons.
15:03I only hope to be allowed to serve in the palace.
15:06Clark was my mother's surname.
15:08I hated the surname Parker.
15:13As soon as I said this, Parker Michaels faced Mikhaila dramatically.
15:16He glared at me and shouted towards the private room on the second floor.
15:20This brat is just joking!
15:23The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the border was unstable.
15:28There had been several conflicts, and the emperor intended to launch a war to intimidate
15:32the barbarians and establish his authority.
15:34However, the civil officials led by Parker Mikhail were opposed to the military taking
15:38too much power, and the treasury was empty, so the matter had been delayed.
15:42At this moment, I was willing to donate 400,000 tails of silver as provisions to support
15:48the emperor.
15:49This was like a shot in the arm, and I believed that the emperor would be moved.
15:53Immediately after, a small eunuch hurriedly came downstairs to me.
15:57I took out something from my sleeve and handed it to the eunuch, who rushed upstairs with
16:03By the grace of heaven, the emperor decrees that Grace Clark is to be enorbled as Concon's
16:09Clark, and enter the palace today.
16:12I took the imperial edict and felt relieved.
16:14Parker Michaels' face turned ashen.
16:16You bitch!
16:17You're just as disgusting as your bitch of a mother!
16:19You should have died long ago!
16:20I should have strangled you at birth!
16:22Do you really think that once I'm in the palace, you can't kill me?
16:27I didn't care about Parker Michaels' curses at all.
16:29Instead, I found it rather amusing.
16:34Riding in a sedan chair to the palace, I was in a good mood.
16:38I had won today's confrontation, but it was just a stroke of luck.
16:42Parker Michaels was unprepared, which allowed me to take advantage of the situation.
16:46The so-called treasure I had was the list of all the officials who had bid at the auction
16:50today, along with the amount of silver they had spent.
16:52The imperial treasury was empty, yet these officials had been trying for it to the emperor.
16:57Now, they were spending so freely at the auction.
17:00If they could spend so much money on a woman, they should also be willing to contribute that
17:04much to support the war on the border.
17:06With this list, the emperor could force those officials to donate money to support the war.
17:11Although it was just a list, it was indeed a treasure that could solve the emperor's
17:15immediate problem.
17:16I moved into the blessing palace.
17:18The first thing I did after entering the palace was to donate all the dowry that Parker
17:22Michael had given me to the imperial treasury.
17:24I found Parker Michael's things dirty and only kept my mother's dowry carefully.
17:29My action made the emperor very happy, and he immediately praised me for my righteousness
17:33and bestowed me with many treasures.
17:35Half a day after entering the palace, the head of the imperial household department came
17:39to my courtyard with several maids and eunuchs.
17:42Conscient clerk, these servants have all been well trained by the imperial household department.
17:47Please take a look and see if there is anyone you like.
17:51I glanced at the row of maids and eunuchs, and then looked at the head of the imperial
17:54household department.
17:56You pick a few for me.
17:57I have only one requirement.
17:58The servants you pick can be the emperor and imperial consents spies, but they must not
18:02be spies for Parker imperial consents and Parker Michael.
18:06If I find out, I will kill you even if it costs me my life.
18:09Think it over carefully.
18:11Is the silver Parker Michael gave you more important than your life?
18:14Don't take my words lightly.
18:15I swear to heaven that I will never stop until I succeed.
18:19My words made the head of the imperial household department's face change.
18:22Contrabein Clark is joking.
18:24How could I dare?
18:27I continued drinking my tea and ignored him.
18:29The head of the imperial household department's face changed for a long time.
18:33Then he picked a few eunuchs and maids and led the others to leave with a bow.
18:39After entering the palace, I needed to pay my respects to the empress.
18:42When I arrived at the empress's phoenix palace, there were already quite a few people inside.
18:47The empress was sitting in the middle, and I went forward to pay my respects.
18:51My movements were extremely standard, as if I had practiced them thousands of times.
18:56The concubines who were waiting to see me make a fool of myself were all somewhat surprised
18:59because they all knew that I had been raised in a dilapidated manner and had never been
19:03disciplined since childhood, and thus must be coarse and unfit for the palace.
19:07But they never expected me to be so dignified and refined.
19:15I stood up and walked to the side to sit down.
19:18My gaze fell on a woman opposite me.
19:20I knew she was Parker Emily, the current emperor's concubine of high rank,
19:24and the daughter of Parker Michael whom he was so proud of.
19:27Today is Confine Clark's first day in the palace.
19:30From now on, we are all sisters.
19:33We must get along harmonially.
19:35Parker Emily looked at me, her eyes full of resentment.
19:38Sister, you have quite the talent.
19:41Your mother just passed her three days ago, and you can't wait to enter the palace.
19:45Selling yourself to bury your mother and pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy,
19:48what a good trick.
19:49I wonder if your mother can rest in peace knowing your behavior.
19:53I glanced at the empress.
19:55She had just said that we should get along harmoniously, but Parker Emily immediately
19:59started to mock me.
20:00It seemed that she was not giving the empress any face and was also trying to give me a warning.
20:04Parker Emily's eagerness to mock me must be because of what I did before.
20:09I first donated 400,000 tales to the national treasury, and then sent the 100,000 tales of
20:15dowry given by Parker Michael to the national treasury as well.
20:18Everyone praised me for my loyalty and righteousness.
20:20But Parker Emily was put in a difficult position because as the daughter of Parker Michael,
20:25she had to decide whether to donate her dowry or not.
20:27If she didn't, it would make her look selfish.
20:30If she did, she would be reluctant to part with it.
20:33This was exactly the result I wanted.
20:35I wanted everyone in the Parker family to be restless.
20:38The other concubines all stared at me with a look of schadenfreude.
20:42I smiled.
20:43I was not a pushover.
20:46Sister, remember that my mother passed away just three days ago?
20:50When my mother, your stepmother passed away, you, a conkin's daughter, could get married.
20:54Why can't I, a legitimate daughter, do the same?
20:58I don't know my much in band scenes, but I'm sure your mother, the conchette, shriek, and pole have made.
21:05Now everyone knows that the so-called second wife is just a self-deceiving calm.
21:10You will be a cup's daughter for the rest of your life.
21:13How pitiful.
21:14My words made Parker Emily's face turn ashen.
21:17Because of the previous rumors, she, a concubine's daughter, had replaced the legitimate daughter to become a concubine of high
21:23rank.
21:23The emperor hadn't visited her chambers in the past three days, making her a laughing stock.
21:29She was about to retort when the empress interrupted directly.
21:32Enough.
21:33Concerbine Clark, stay.
21:34The rest of you, leave.
21:45Parker Emily was unwilling but had no choice but to leave with the other concubines.
21:49After they had all left, the empress turned to me and said,
21:54Concerbine Clark, the emperor and I know about your feud, the Grand Hunter Parker.
21:57You have helped the emperor this time, and I will remember your goodness.
22:02Although I am also wary of the Grand Hunter Parker in the palace and protect you.
22:05In the half day since I entered the palace, the emperor had already gone to the homes of various officials
22:09with the list I gave him, forcing them to donate.
22:12He had solid evidence and, for the sake of the country, those people could no longer pretend they had no
22:17money.
22:18I looked at the empress, pondering her words.
22:21Empress, I appreciate your kindness, but I will never stop fighting with the entire Parker family until we are both
22:28dead.
22:30The empress sighed.
22:32Why go through all this trouble?
22:33You have no power or influence, how can you fight?
22:37I remained silent.
22:38In the end, the empress could only let me leave.
22:44On my first night in the palace, it was customary for me to sleep with the emperor.
22:48That was the unspoken rule in the palace.
22:50At the hour of you, the emperor came to my blessing palace.
22:53I went forward and bowed.
22:55Your majesty, may you be well.
22:57Rise.
22:58And then walked to the table and sat down.
23:00I recognized this voice as the one I had heard in the private room earlier today.
23:04At this moment, the small eunuch by the emperor's side led everyone out.
23:08I knew the emperor had something to say.
23:11Contribent clerk, today, Grand Tutor Parker came to see me and asked me to send you to the cold palace.
23:17Nana, what did your majesty say?
23:20I have just done for throats and shouting, let's be this diligent.
23:24Ming were in the labage and chowf Parker.
23:27Chowf Parker's supports were shouting with dim thin welling.
23:31After the emperor finished speaking, he looked troubled and took a sip of tea.
23:36Your majesty really sounded dying, but I just bumply wash one down the inns away pigs.
23:42The soldiers on the border will remember this favor.
23:44If your majesty punish me, not in knotting the sherbing be disheart, and the servie be disheart.
23:49I have always been loyal to your majesty.
23:54Concubine clerk, you are very smart.
23:55You have been calculating since the auction.
23:58You are so smart, I'm so smart.
24:00Can you guess if I agreed?
24:02Your majesty will not agree.
24:04Why?
24:05The reasons you just gave are not enough for me to reject Grand Tutor Parker's offer.
24:10Because I can just send you to the cold palace six months later when everything has calmed down and find
24:14any excuse I want.
24:18Because the emperor is the emperor, the son of Tevin.
24:20The emperor is not controlled by anyone.
24:24Parker Michael helped you once, but what about the second time, the third time?
24:28So the emperor will not agree.
24:30Then looked at the emperor.
24:32The emperor didn't speak, his cold eyes staring at me.
24:35After a while, he suddenly burst into laughter.
24:39Concubine clerk, if you were a man I would surely appoint you as the prime minister.
24:44I could tell that the emperor had a moment of murderous intent just now.
24:47Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.
24:50The emperor doesn't allow smart people in the harem.
24:52Your majesty, would you like to make a deal with me?
24:56Tell me what you have in mind.
25:00I'll help you bring down Parker Michael.
25:03After Parker Michael falls.
25:05I hope your majesty will allow me to leave the palace and go to the Baisuan temple to practice Buddhism.
25:10I finished speaking and looked at the emperor.
25:13I agree with you.
25:14But do you know the influence Parker Michael has in the court?
25:19How dare you speak so boldly?
25:21I nodded.
25:22Parker Michael is the grand tutor.
25:24And all six ministries are under his control.
25:26It's like a solid iron bucket.
25:28And even the emperor can't pry it open for the time being.
25:34Then I'll wait and see.
25:36After sitting in my palace for over an hour, the emperor finally left.
25:40Clearly, the emperor had saved my face.
25:43Everyone else would think that I had slept with him tonight.
25:48On the third day after entering the palace, the emperor would come to my quarters and stay for over an
25:53hour every day.
25:54Most of the time, we played chess.
25:56But in the eyes of others, I was extremely favored and slept with the emperor every night.
26:00I heard that the porcelain in the bamboo garden had been replaced several times.
26:04The bamboo garden was where Parker Emily lived.
26:07I could tell that the emperor was doing this on purpose, just to provoke Parker Emily and her father, Parker
26:12Michael.
26:12Sure enough, on the fourth day, news came from the Parker family that Parker Michael had divorced my mother on
26:17the grounds that she was unchaste.
26:19My mother and I had no connection with the Parker family from then on, and my mother was not allowed
26:23to be buried in the Parker family's ancestral tomb.
26:26I sneered.
26:27Who cared about the Parker family's ancestral tomb?
26:30My mother would have thought it dirty to be buried there.
26:33But Parker Michael had made his move.
26:35So I had to respond.
26:36That afternoon, I asked the emperor to issue an order for Parker Michael and his second wife to come to
26:41the palace.
26:41The emperor was reluctant at first, but when I told him that this could help him break up the alliance
26:46of the civil officials, he reluctantly agreed.
26:50I waited in the blessing palace for an hour.
26:53Then a young eunuch led Parker Michael and his second wife in.
26:56Parker Michael was the second most powerful person in the court, and the eunuchs and maidservants all bowed to him.
27:01Parker Michael clearly enjoyed this feeling and was smug all the way.
27:04When Parker Michael saw me, there was still anger in his eyes.
27:07Did you ask me to come to the palace so that your mother could be buried in the Parker family's
27:11ancestral tomb?
27:12I gave Parker Michael a cold look and then glanced at the second wife beside him.
27:16She was indeed beautiful, and Parker Emily inherited her looks.
27:20Minister Parker, you have such great authority.
27:23You don't even bow to the emperor's concund.
27:26Are you defying the imperial family?
27:28I sneered.
27:31Parker Michael's face froze for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and bowed.
27:35The second madam's expression was also very ugly as she began to bow.
27:39I took an object out of my sleeve and placed it on the table beside me.
27:43Parker Michael and the second madam were bowing right in front of that object.
27:47When Parker Michael stood up and saw the object,
27:50Grace Clark you are really too bold.
27:52The second madam's expression was also extremely ugly after seeing that thing.
27:56I, however, smiled and stroked the object beside me.
27:59It was my mother's memorial tablet, made rather small so that I could carry it into the palace.
28:04Parker Michael and the second madam's bowing just now was equivalent to bowing to my mother,
28:08which was why they were so angry.
28:10I just like to talk to my mother.
28:12How is that being bold?
28:15Mr. Parker, please explain.
28:17Parker Michael was so angry that he couldn't speak.
28:20You made my lord bow to this slut!
28:23Does she deserve it?
28:24I sneered.
28:25Does a concubine like you have the right to question my mother's affairs?
28:29Garves!
28:29This concubine has been disrespectful to me.
28:32Slap her 30 size!
28:33The second madam looked at me with a smug expression.
28:36I stood up and slapped the second madam.
28:38I dare!
28:40You!
28:41Grand you to Parker.
28:42Have you thought it through?
28:44This slap is equivalent to slapping the face of the imperial family.
28:48Your reputation will be ruined in an instant.
28:51Parker Michael had spent his entire life protecting his reputation.
28:55How could he break his own rules for a second madam?
28:58Parker Michael was shaking with rage, but in the end, he didn't hit me.
29:01Instead, I slapped the second madam again.
29:04I was strong.
29:05While the second madam was used to a life of luxury, she was knocked to the ground by my two
29:10slaps and was completely stunned.
29:12Grace Clark, I have many ways to make your life a living hell.
29:15I didn't do anything to you yesterday because of that little bit of father-daughter affection.
29:20But today, you have humiliated me like this.
29:24I won't let you off the hook.
29:26Mr. Parker, when you forced my mother to death, we were already sworn enemies.
29:34Not even half an hour after Parker Michael left with the second concubine, a stack of memorials impeaching me was
29:39delivered to the imperial study.
29:41In the evening, the empress came to my courtyard and said,
29:45Let's go for a walk at the water cloud nunnery.
29:47Take your mother's miry on tape with you.
29:49The water cloud nunnery was a Buddhist temple in a secluded part of the palace, a place where some of
29:54the concubines would go to pray.
29:56I followed the empress to the water cloud nunnery with my mother's memorial tablet.
30:00The empress lit the incense first and then said to me,
30:03Let's enshone your mother's memorial tobit in the water cloud nunnery.
30:06There are palace rules that permit setting up private memorial toads in the palace.
30:10I nodded.
30:11The empress had already been very kind to me.
30:15Consicclerc, this time you've caused too much trouble.
30:18The emperor has to punish you.
30:20I nodded again.
30:21I had already prepared myself.
30:23Today was the seventh day after my mother's death, and I did this to vent my anger for her.
30:28Seeing my reaction, the empress sighed and said,
30:31Fortunately, you've overdone some good deeds, and I've pleaded with the emperor.
30:35So this time, it will be a minor schmidt as a warning.
30:37You'll be punished by copying Buddha scriptials.
30:41Concorbite Clark, I can see from the memorial tablet you're carrying that you and your mother have a deep bond.
30:46Your mother's spirit in heaven wouldn't want you to take such risks.
30:50Empress, there's no need to persuade me.
30:52It's a fight to death.
30:53The empress sighed again and pointed to the garden outside.
30:56Look at those little maid servants.
30:58I followed her finger and saw a group of little maid servants weeding the flowers in the garden.
31:03Perhaps because the water cloud nunnery was in the innermost part of the palace and few concubines came here,
31:08the maid servants were bold and played while working.
31:10Their laughter could be heard.
31:12This palace is full of darkness and treacherity, but there is also hope and peace.
31:17If you wait for a year when everyone has forgotten about you,
31:20I can ask the emperor to let you leave the palace and find a place to live in peace.
31:24I looked at the empress and asked the question in my heart.
31:27Why are you doing this?
31:28On my first day in the palace,
31:30I felt that the empress treated me differently.
31:32Now she was even saying she would ask the emperor to let me leave the palace.
31:36This wasn't something an empress should say.
31:38The empress smiled and said,
31:40You might not believe me,
31:41but I see in you the kind of rebellious spirit I've always wanted,
31:44the kind of determination to resist everything.
31:47I've had to be the empress for my family and the emperor all my life.
31:50But you're different.
31:51You have more possibilities.
31:55All the way back, I was lost and thought about the empress's words.
31:58When I returned to the blessing palace,
32:00I saw Parker Emily leading people to guard my courtyard.
32:03As soon as Parker Emily saw me,
32:05she wanted to come and fight with me.
32:07You bitch!
32:09But was held back by the maidservant beside her.
32:11Your highness, please calm down.
32:13You are of noble birth and don't need to confront her head down.
32:16Your highness, please be don't beated.
32:18Tisha's the easing swissial's mother to Tizo Funkham.
32:21Everyone's persuasion made Parker Emily calm down as well.
32:24I looked at Parker Emily and said,
32:26Do you also want to taste the flavor of a slap?
32:28Don't you just rely on the emperor's favor?
32:31I tell you, I will definitely take away your favor.
32:34Just wait and see.
32:35After saying that,
32:37Parker Emily left with her maids and eunuchs in a fierce manner.
32:40Later, it was heard that Parker Emily voluntarily went to the imperial study to serve soup.
32:44This was impossible in the past.
32:47Parker Emily always thought of herself as the daughter of the prime minister,
32:50with a noble status,
32:51and looked down upon other concubines in the palace,
32:54thinking that their serving of tonics and soup to the emperor was just flattery.
32:57She never expected that she would now lower herself to do such a thing.
33:01But she didn't expect that the emperor still came to my courtyard that night.
