00:00:00Lady Shen of the Murong Residence, virtuous and prudent by nature, diligent and gentle, is hereby bestowed the title of
00:00:07first rank Imperial Noble Lady.
00:00:09I humbly thank your majesty for this grace.
00:00:12Shen Yun King, receive the decree.
00:00:22Murder, help! Help!
00:00:33Sister...
00:00:34Why?
00:00:35Don't call me sister! You don't deserve to!
00:00:39We're both Shen daughters! Why should you have it better than me?
00:00:43If only three years ago the one who caught my ball had been Murong On!
00:00:47The bliss you cling to is nothing but an illusion.
00:00:51Shen Yun King, die!
00:01:01Hey!
00:01:02If I could have one more chance, I would give up all this glory.
00:01:08What time do you think it is? Still sleeping?
00:01:11You, master, young lords from noble families heard the Shen girls are choosing husbands and have all come to catch
00:01:16the ball.
00:01:17Look at young king, still sleeping. Not an ounce of propriety befitting a young lady.
00:01:22Listen to me. When you and Chao are through, you better aim well.
00:01:25Whoever marries best will be the Shen family's pride. Don't you dare disappoint me!
00:01:32Wasn't I just stabbed by a sword?
00:01:41This is rebirth. I've returned to three years ago, the day of the ball toss ceremony.
00:01:48Miss, it's your turn to throw the ball.
00:01:52Shen Yun-Kiao.
00:01:54Shen Yun-Kiao.
00:01:55Sister, why don't I go first?
00:01:56In my past life, Shen Yun-Kiao insisted I throw first, deferring again and again.
00:02:01But now, it seems Shen Yun-Kiao has also been reborn.
00:02:05Fine, go ahead.
00:02:07To me! To me! To me! To me! To me! Over here! Over here! Miss Shen! Over here! Over here!
00:02:11To me!
00:02:13Get lost! All of you, get lost!
00:02:20In this life, the one who marries Murong An will be me.
00:02:29Master, look! The one who caught it is the Murong's second young master.
00:02:33It's him! It's Murong An, second son of Murong.
00:02:36The Murongs are distant kin to royalty. The eldest son, Murong He, just days ago was appointed deputy minister of
00:02:42justice.
00:02:43If the Shen family could marry into the Murongs, we'd practically be royalty ourselves.
00:02:48Murong An.
00:02:49In this life, I finally changed my fate. In three years, Murong An will rise in rank and title, and
00:02:55I will become a noble imperial lady.
00:02:58Shen Yun-Kiao, oh Shen Yun-Kiao, you're skiing so hard that you don't know you've walked straight into a
00:03:03wolf's den.
00:03:06Wonderful, wonderful!
00:03:08Shower is truly a daughter I raised myself. She brings honor to the Shen family!
00:03:12You flatter me, father. I only wish to do right by our family.
00:03:16Once I become Lady Murong, I shall watch my every word indeed and bring prosperity to our family.
00:03:21Sister, don't you agree?
00:03:23How fortunate for you, sister. I'm truly happy for you.
00:03:27Shen Yun-King, your good fortune has been stolen by me. In this lifetime, I will never let you overshadow
00:03:33me again.
00:03:36Shower, look! Young Master Murong can hardly take his eyes off you.
00:03:48Isn't that...
00:03:50The Emperor?
00:03:52Your Majesty, dress like this outside. If the Dowager Empress finds out...
00:03:56She nags me daily to pick a concert. I had no choice but to slip out for some peace. It's
00:04:00a good chance to see the life of common folk.
00:04:02Your Majesty has always been a devoted ruler, but dressed like this. Shabby as these clothes are. They help me
00:04:08blend in unnoticed. Would you rather I stroll through the streets in my dragon robe?
00:04:19Your Majesty, are you alright? Watch it, you filthy beggar! Hurry! Master Shen's two daughters are tossing the ball today.
00:04:25We'll miss it if we're late. Choosing a husband? Come on, let's go have a look.
00:04:29In my past life, that beggar snatched my ball. After I fled that marriage, I suffered endlessly. How fitting! This
00:04:36time, I'll make you taste the bitterness of being cast aside by your own kin.
00:04:41Go now. Do as I told you. Understood, second miss? What are they up to?
00:04:45Now that our Shen family has secured ties with the Murong residence, when Shen Yunqing chooses her husband shortly, she'd
00:04:52better not disappoint.
00:04:53Mother, what kind of thing is that to say? Sister has always been lucky. How could she possibly embarrass father?
00:04:59If you ask me, sister will surely find the finest husband of all.
00:05:03Shen Yunqing, your sister's marriage is as good as settled now. We already have one with power, so you'd better
00:05:08find one with wealth. Only then will you be worthy of being a daughter of Shen Zhao.
00:05:14Miss, it's your turn. Schemes and plots, gold and silver treasures, are all but passing clouds and drifting smoke. In
00:05:21this life, I only wish to find a good and true companion and live out my days in peace.
00:05:26Your majesty! Miss Shen threw it to me! Get lost!
00:05:43It's him. In my past life, he was the one who caught Shen Yunqiao's embroidered ball.
00:05:49Oh my! A perfectly good embroidered ball! Snatched away by a beggar! Sister, what rotten luck you have! Of all
00:05:55people, you picked a beggar! Who knows which deity you've offended? Where does that leave father's reputation?
00:06:01Useless girl! With all those men below, you had to throw it to a beggar! Now everyone in Shangjing is
00:06:06laughing at us! Are you trying to humiliate me?!
00:06:08My lord! At least our chow has done well and matched with the Murongs. Otherwise, the Shen family would truly
00:06:15be disgraced today. How would we ever show our faces again?
00:06:18What's done is done. Sister, don't be too upset. Though this beggar is lowborn, at least his face is passable.
00:06:25I just feel sorry for you, sister. Spoiled since childhood. Now marrying a beggar.
00:06:30Marriage is a woman's greatest path in life. You chose a beggar. From now on, you'll sleep under the sky.
00:06:36The Shens can't help you.
00:06:37Oh my! This is gonna be quite a show! The Shen family's eldest actually marrying a beggar? Everyone's watching! If
00:06:43she refuses, the Shens broke their word! Who would ever deal with the Shen family again?
00:06:47Exactly! Let's see what the Shens do!
00:06:50Hey! Where are you going?! Stop her! Don't let her run off!
00:06:53My lord! I finally found you!
00:06:57My heavens! Why is the embroidered ball in your hands? Perhaps you should just toss it away!
00:07:02Outside the palace, we are ordinary commoners. We mustn't break the customs of the people. Besides, dressed as shabbily as
00:07:09I am, she certainly won't want to marry me.
00:07:24I...
00:07:25Sister! In such a rush to meet your perfect match? You threw the embroidered ball yourself! You chose the man
00:07:31yourself! Don't tell me you're having regrets!
00:07:33You wretched girl! Look at the beggar you drew in! If he becomes our son-in-law, you'd be trampling
00:07:39our entire family's honor beneath your feet!
00:07:41In my past life, I suffered at the Murong residence, reduced to a pawn for the Shens to court the
00:07:46powerful. Looking back now, I'd rather marry a beggar and live in peace.
00:07:50The rule of the ball toss is that whoever catches it is chosen, even if you refuse now!
00:07:55I am willing to marry him! I am willing to marry him!
00:08:06My name is Shen Yun-King. What's yours?
00:08:09I...
00:08:10My name is Qi Yu.
00:08:14Today, with all of you as witnesses, I, Shen Yun-King, am willing to marry Qi Yu as his wife!
00:08:24You truly want to marry me?
00:08:26Of course. You already caught my embroidered ball. Would you go back on your word?
00:08:32No, it's not that. It's just that I have nothing. If you marry me, you'll have no proper home, barely
00:08:38enough to eat. Would you still agree?
00:08:40We both have two hands and two feet. What we want, we can build for ourselves. If we work hard
00:08:45in the future and find honest work, making a living won't be hard.
00:08:48Palace people would resort to anything for the smallest gain. She's unlike anyone I've met. Someone so easily content.
00:08:55A filthy beggar? And she actually treats him like a treasure!
00:08:58Shen Yun-King, you'd better think this through. Marrying a beggar means ruining your own future.
00:09:04A future isn't built on status alone, but on character and virtue. Qi Yu may be dressed plainly, but he
00:09:09seems approachable, well-mannered, and may well make a fine match.
00:09:13You-
00:09:14The rules of the embroidered ball toss have already been set. Even if Master Shen wishes to go back on
00:09:20his word now, it's too late.
00:09:22That's right. If he refuses, not only would it break our customs, it would tarnish the Shen name.
00:09:29Since you've chosen to marry down, don't ever blame the Shen family for it. The Shen family's future glory will
00:09:35have nothing to do with you.
00:09:36I understand, father. All right, everyone, move along. Always crowding around for a spectacle. Honestly.
00:09:43The show's over. Time to go home.
00:09:46Young Master Murong! Young Master Murong, please wait!
00:09:49Young Master Murong, would you kindly come to the Shen residence to discuss the wedding?
00:09:56Let's go.
00:09:57Right this way, please.
00:09:59Sister, don't say I didn't warn you. Marrying a beggar for the rest of your life, you'll forever be beneath
00:10:05me.
00:10:05Perhaps you should worry about yourself first. Life at the Murong residence won't be as easy as you imagine.
00:10:19You-
00:10:20Make way, make way!
00:10:37Oh heavens, are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?
00:10:41I'm fine. See? I'm perfectly all right.
00:10:43I'm so sorry. I'm truly sorry.
00:10:45It wasn't on purpose. Be careful next time.
00:10:47We'll do it.
00:10:48To marry someone so gentle and kind-hearted, that is my good fortune in this life.
00:10:53In three days, come to the Shen residence for me.
00:10:56Back at the palace, mother would force me to choose a consort. So why not?
00:11:00Very well. I'll be there for sure.
00:11:06The second Miss Shen is wed today.
00:11:09Her dowry includes gold inlaid gemstones,
00:11:13Phoenix hairpins,
00:11:14a pair,
00:11:15one EC pearl flower crown,
00:11:18a pair of jade bracelets,
00:11:19twenty bolts of shoe brocade,
00:11:22and three land deeds for silk shops in the east of the city.
00:11:27The second Miss Shen's dowry is worth a fortune.
00:11:29Yet the eldest Miss Shen got nothing at all.
00:11:32Both daughters of the Shen family want a stark difference.
00:11:34Haven't you heard?
00:11:35The second Miss Shen is marrying the Murong residence's second young master,
00:11:39while the eldest Miss Shen is marrying a beggar.
00:11:41How could they be treated the same?
00:11:43If my sister truly marries a beggar, she'll toil for the rest of her life.
00:11:47I wonder if she'll adapt.
00:11:49The groom is here!
00:11:53Worthy of the Murong's second young master,
00:11:55what a grand procession.
00:11:57The Murong residence holds immense power.
00:11:59Once the second Miss Shen marries in,
00:12:01she'll live in endless luxury.
00:12:03But Shen yin king marrying the beggar,
00:12:05that'll be quite a spectacle.
00:12:07Here we call!
00:12:14Greetings, father and mother.
00:12:16Rise, rise, son-in-law.
00:12:19This bridal procession of yours is a rare spectacle in all of Shang Jing.
00:12:23That shower is so valued by you as an honor for our Shen family.
00:12:27Young master Murong has arrived,
00:12:29yet there's no sign of the other groom.
00:12:31If I were him,
00:12:32I'd bury myself underground and never show my face.
00:12:34Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly past.
00:12:37Your husband still hasn't come for you.
00:12:39Perhaps he doesn't intend to come at all.
00:12:42He's here! He's here! The groom is here!
00:12:48The groom finally came.
00:12:49What I promised you, I will fulfill.
00:12:57We...
00:13:00I'm terribly sorry for arriving late.
00:13:02What on earth are you wearing?
00:13:04Before all these guests, you're making me lose face!
00:13:07Today is her wedding day, after all.
00:13:09And this beggar shows up dressed like this to claim his bride.
00:13:12How can my sister not find this humiliating?
00:13:16Marriage is a lifelong matter.
00:13:17What matters is sincerity, not appearances.
00:13:20The one I, Shen yin king, have chosen
00:13:22will never be swayed by others' words.
00:13:24Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:13:26Don't be angry, master.
00:13:27Once Yun King leaves, she'll have nothing to do with the Shen family.
00:13:31The auspicious hour has come.
00:13:33The bride may board the Sudan.
00:13:38Minister Zhang has arrived!
00:13:43You're mad!
00:13:44Shut your mouth if you want to live.
00:13:47What an honor to have Minister Zhang grace us with his presence.
00:13:50Pardon us.
00:13:52Heaven rewards the devoted.
00:13:53It truly does.
00:13:55Congratulations, Master Shen.
00:13:56Thank you, thank you.
00:13:57Minister Zhang, please come inside.
00:14:01After you, bridegroom.
00:14:02The groom goes first.
00:14:03After you, please.
00:14:07Don't tell me you walked here on foot.
00:14:10On a wedding day, no bride has ever walked to her husband's home.
00:14:13Well, today is certainly an eye-opener.
00:14:16Indeed, unlike my husband.
00:14:26My lady, let's go home.
00:14:29On a wedding day, no one will go home.
00:14:30She's a boy still in love.
00:14:30Please wait for me to come.
00:14:49But of course, we're not.
00:14:50I'm just right.
00:14:50I'm just right, baby.
00:14:51You're dying.
00:14:52She's aren'tICKed.
00:14:59You're dying.
00:14:59I'm dying!
00:15:04So this is where you live.
00:15:19This is the place you found for me.
00:15:21Your Majesty, didn't you say it had to match your current status?
00:15:25This is far too run down.
00:15:26Is this even livable?
00:15:27I was afraid you'd blow your cover.
00:15:34I'm sorry you have to put up with this, staying in such a dump.
00:15:37How about we?
00:15:38Give it a good cleaning.
00:15:39It's actually quite spacious.
00:15:41It'll be cozy once we settle in.
00:15:43From now on, this is our home.
00:15:45Home?
00:15:45Our home?
00:15:47The eldest Shen daughter is so remarkably virtuous.
00:15:50Far better than all those noble ladies the Dowager Empress chose for me.
00:15:56Shen Yun King.
00:15:58I don't have much to offer right now.
00:16:01This Jade Pendant was given to me by my father before he passed.
00:16:05Now I'm giving it to you.
00:16:08You're giving me something so precious?
00:16:15Yes.
00:16:16Rest assured.
00:16:17I'll keep it safe.
00:16:19His Majesty gave away his personal Jade Pendant.
00:16:23Does he truly love Shen Yun King?
00:16:35I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:38I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:39I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:39I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:40I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:40I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:41I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:43I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:44I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:44I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:45I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:45I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:46I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:47I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:48I don't have much to say anything.
00:16:53I don't have much to say anything.
00:17:22This bed is far too hard.
00:17:39Now it's hot tea.
00:17:41Shen Yun King, are you alright?
00:17:43Did you burn yourself?
00:17:44I'm fine, don't worry.
00:17:45Breakfast is ready.
00:17:46Eat while it's still warm.
00:17:48I need to step out for a bit.
00:17:50Where are you going?
00:17:51Today is the day a new bride visits your family.
00:17:53The charms I'm making for my parents need a few more stitches.
00:17:56I need to buy some thread before we head back.
00:17:58Then I'll go with you.
00:18:00Alright.
00:18:07Greetings your majesty.
00:18:10Your majesty.
00:18:17What's wrong?
00:18:18Are you unwell?
00:18:21What happened to his majesty?
00:18:22Is he ill?
00:18:24You're much?
00:18:24Oh there's plenty of dirt around here.
00:18:26No need for such a beau friend.
00:18:28Yuen Lu.
00:18:29What are you doing?
00:18:29Hey!
00:18:30Are you alright?
00:18:32I'm fine.
00:18:32Don't worry.
00:18:33They are.
00:18:34The palace is complicated.
00:18:36Once it's settled, I'll tell Yun King who I am.
00:18:38Oh, they.
00:18:39They're here looking for you and Lu.
00:18:41Oh right, my friends.
00:18:42They're here for me.
00:18:43I used to serve at the palace.
00:18:45We're all old friends.
00:18:47Oh.
00:18:48Shen Yun King.
00:18:49Let me help you and Lu with the guests.
00:18:50Can you buy the thread yourself?
00:18:52Alright.
00:18:58Greetings your majesty.
00:19:00Tell me.
00:19:01What happened?
00:19:02Word came from the palace.
00:19:03The dowager empress worried over you.
00:19:05Overtaxed herself and suddenly fainted.
00:19:07What?
00:19:08You and Lu stay and protect Yun King.
00:19:10Yes sire.
00:19:11The rest of you, return to the palace with me.
00:19:17Also, have someone select fine gifts and send them to the Shen residence.
00:19:20As Yun King's homecoming gifts.
00:19:23Yes sire.
00:19:24Let's go.
00:19:25Hot buns.
00:19:26Come and get them.
00:19:27Come have a look.
00:19:28Good deals on fine goods.
00:19:30Come have a look.
00:19:31Cheju is home entertaining guests.
00:19:33I better not go back and disturb him.
00:19:36Father never approved of Cheju's status.
00:19:38I'd only be humiliated if I went back.
00:19:40I'll just go on my own.
00:19:49They're family after all.
00:19:51No matter how painful I still have to face them.
00:19:54Let's go in.
00:19:56Father your daughter is home.
00:19:58Father your daughter is home.
00:20:05Father your daughter is home.
00:20:08Father.
00:20:11Today is the bridal homecoming.
00:20:13Why did you come back alone sister?
00:20:15Could it be?
00:20:16You're afraid your beggar husband would embarrass you.
00:20:18So you wouldn't even let him come back with you.
00:20:22My husband had matters to tend to.
00:20:24Shen Yun King, married to a beggar.
00:20:26You must have suffered quite a bit.
00:20:28You've grown so thin.
00:20:29If you hadn't married that filthy beggar.
00:20:31I might have taken you as a concubine.
00:20:33At least you wouldn't have fallen this low.
00:20:36Wretch!
00:20:37My husband doesn't know.
00:20:38But my sister has always enjoyed keeping you company of low-lifes.
00:20:42If you brought her to our Mulong residence.
00:20:44She might not even feel at home.
00:20:46You needn't trouble yourself.
00:20:48I'm doing just fine.
00:20:49But you dear sister these days.
00:20:51I doubt you've even seen your own husband.
00:20:54You!
00:20:55Damn you Mulong An.
00:20:57On our wedding night he went to the pleasure houses.
00:21:00And everyone found out about it.
00:21:02He humiliated me completely.
00:21:04Chowar!
00:21:10Mother.
00:21:12Greetings father.
00:21:14Greetings mother.
00:21:15You came back alone and you have the nerve to show your face?
00:21:18It hasn't been long.
00:21:19And you've forgotten all the manners we taught you.
00:21:21A man as distinguished as young master Mulong escorted Chowar home for the visit.
00:21:25Your husband who knows what he's busy with couldn't even accompany you.
00:21:29Mother.
00:21:29Don't flatter her.
00:21:30That filthy beggar is probably out on the streets begging right now.
00:21:34Father-in-law.
00:21:35Your son-in-law has prepared some gifts.
00:21:37Bring them in.
00:21:40For our son-in-law to visit in person.
00:21:43That alone is an honor for me.
00:21:44And to bring all these gifts too.
00:21:46Carry them inside at once.
00:21:48My daughter marrying our son-in-law is a blessing of eight lifetimes.
00:21:51Unlike certain people who chose a beggar for a husband.
00:21:54But let's not speak of it.
00:21:55The Shen family raised you all these years and you plan to come back empty handed?
00:21:58Indeed sister.
00:21:59Don't tell me you're truly this destitute that you can't even prepare a homecoming gift?
00:22:05Of course not.
00:22:08These are charms I embroidered for father and mother.
00:22:12I pray that father and mother will have peace and safety.
00:22:18Haha.
00:22:21Get out!
00:22:22What a disgraceful thing!
00:22:24Sister.
00:22:24What on earth did you embroider?
00:22:26A trinket sewn from scrap cloth.
00:22:28And you dare show it off to embarrass yourself?
00:22:31Truly worthy of a beggar's wife.
00:22:33Even the gifts you present are a perfect match.
00:22:37Never mind.
00:22:38Never mind.
00:22:39She married a beggar after all.
00:22:40What could you expect her to bring?
00:22:42Master.
00:22:43Master.
00:22:43The palace has sent gifts.
00:22:44They say they're homecoming gifts from the eldest miss.
00:22:47What?
00:22:57Master Shen.
00:22:58Congratulations.
00:22:59Your eldest daughter has caught the eye of some powerful patron.
00:23:02They had someone from the palace arrange for me personally to deliver these gifts to you.
00:23:06Shopkeeper Lou.
00:23:07The palace truly sent you to deliver these?
00:23:10The chief eunuch himself came to arrange it all.
00:23:12How could it be false?
00:23:14They said it was for the Shen family's eldest daughter.
00:23:18You must be mistaken.
00:23:20All of Shang Jing knows that Shen Yunqing married a beggar.
00:23:22Unlike our Murong son-in-law, whose brother is Deputy Justice.
00:23:26The palace sent these out of regard for our Murong son-in-law.
00:23:28That's why.
00:23:29Those currying favor with us are countless.
00:23:37Father-in-law, please accept these.
00:23:40Our Chow are truly married a fine husband.
00:23:42Such a grand homecoming and all these precious gifts.
00:23:45They truly bring honor to our Shen family.
00:23:47But I recall being told these gifts were for Shen Yunqing.
00:23:50Thank you, Shopkeeper.
00:23:51Sorry for the trouble.
00:23:54They're for the Shen family.
00:23:55No mistake there.
00:23:56I must have been mistaken.
00:23:57They're for second miss.
00:23:58Then I shall take my leave.
00:24:01Carry everything inside for me.
00:24:05Sister, my husband sent homecoming gifts twice over.
00:24:08Looking at all this, don't you feel the least bit ashamed?
00:24:13Gifts need not be many.
00:24:14Sincerity is what matters.
00:24:16I see nothing wrong with it.
00:24:17Have you no thought for our family reputation or father's dignity?
00:24:21I've poured everything into raising you.
00:24:24And what do you do?
00:24:25The eldest daughter of the Shen family not only married a beggar,
00:24:28but now you bring back this worthless rubbish to disgust me.
00:24:32Don't bother coming back from now on.
00:24:33The Shen family has no room for such a disgraceful daughter.
00:24:42Fine.
00:24:43I'll leave then.
00:24:44Take care of yourself.
00:24:46I'll come visit another day.
00:24:49In my past life because of that wretched beggar I suffered endlessly.
00:24:54Why should Shen Yunqing get to leave so easily?
00:24:57Father, look.
00:24:58She actually intends to leave without a word.
00:25:00How utterly improper.
00:25:02Indeed, Master.
00:25:03You mustn't let her go so easily.
00:25:04Lest people start gossiping behind our backs,
00:25:07saying the Shen family has no discipline.
00:25:09Stop!
00:25:11You think you can come and go as you please?
00:25:14What do you take the Shen residence for?
00:25:17In your eyes, everything I do is wrong anyway.
00:25:20I might as well leave so I'm no longer an eyesore to certain people.
00:25:24You want to leave?
00:25:25Fine.
00:25:25Unless you no-tow your way around all of Vermillion Bird Street on your knees,
00:25:29telling everyone that you married a beggar and brought shame upon the Shen family.
00:25:36And that you willingly choose to sever all ties with the Shen family.
00:25:40게 airy down the door through worship.
00:25:44Greetings your majesty.
00:25:46Greetings your majesty.
00:25:47Greetings your majesty.
00:25:48Mother.
00:25:50Did she find?
00:25:52Could it be that she?
00:25:55So you still remember I'm your mother?
00:25:57All I asked was for you to choose a consort.
00:25:59Was that so hard for you? As the Emperor, you dared sneak out and cause trouble.
00:26:04The Consort's selection, you may decide, Mother, since you are well. I'll take my lead.
00:26:09You!
00:26:12Your Majesty, the memorials have been piling up for days. If you delay any further, urgent matters may suffer.
00:26:17Please put state affairs first, Your Majesty.
00:26:20After reviewing them, you can still reach Shen residence in time.
00:26:24To the Imperial study, Chao always thinks things through.
00:26:28Do as your sister says.
00:26:31Just because I married Chi Yu, you all have to humiliate me like this?
00:26:35You came home with no one to accompany you, no gifts to present.
00:26:39Asking you to pay respects is hardly unreasonable.
00:26:42Your sister thought of the Shen family, unlike you, who married a beggar and disgraced our family.
00:26:47What dignity? Only because Yun Kao married into a wealthy family that you indulge her so.
00:26:53Insolent wretch! Have I been too lenient with you?
00:26:56These outrageous words, who taught you to say them?
00:26:59Am I wrong?
00:27:01In your heart, daughters are merely pawns to curry favor with the powerful.
00:27:06How dare you, speaking to your father like that?
00:27:12The Dragon Jade Pendant!
00:27:18No! I must inform His Majesty at once!
00:27:23Give back my Jade Pendant!
00:27:26This Jade Pendant is of fine quality.
00:27:29Did you steal it from somewhere, sister?
00:27:31Chi Yu gave me this pendant! Give it back now!
00:27:33That filthy beggar!
00:27:35Then it's even less likely to be his!
00:27:37He must have stolen it from somewhere!
00:27:39A Dragon Emblazoned Pendant. How could it possibly appear here? Turns out I was mistaken.
00:27:45Chi Yu may not match your noble birth.
00:27:47Just because you own pendants as a matter of course, does that mean Chi Yu is unworthy?
00:27:52Hmph.
00:27:53Guarding a beggar's trinket as though it were precious.
00:27:56Come to think of it, how strange!
00:27:58You've been out here for so long, yet your husband hasn't come looking for you.
00:28:02He doesn't seem to care, does he?
00:28:06Give me back the Pendant. You can have it fast.
00:28:09But first you must sever all ties with the Shen family.
00:28:13You father, will you let Shen Yun-Kiao behave so brazenly?
00:28:16I am your daughter too.
00:28:18You insisted on marrying a beggar and brought shame upon the Shen family.
00:28:22From now on, I, Shen Zhao, have only one daughter, and that is Zhao Er.
00:28:32All I ask in this life is to be with someone sincere.
00:28:36Even plain meals and simple living are better than enduring scorn in the Shen family.
00:28:43Very well then.
00:28:45From this day forward,
00:28:48I, Shen Yun-King, sever all ties with the Shen family.
00:28:52We are strangers henceforth.
00:28:59For the sake of a filthy beggar, you choose to cut ties.
00:29:03Good thing the Shen family never counted on you.
00:29:07Isn't that what you think, father?
00:29:08Why should I stay and suffer in the Shen family?
00:29:11You!
00:29:14Give me the Pendant.
00:29:16Not so easy.
00:29:18Someone, bring the burning coals from the kitchen and lay them on the ground.
00:29:21What are you doing?
00:29:29Greetings, your majesty.
00:29:32Who sent you here?
00:29:33I am the daughter of the Grand Chancellor Zhao Shun, Xiaoguaner.
00:29:37The Dowager Empress sent me to attend to your majesty.
00:29:40I have state affairs to attend to.
00:29:42Leave.
00:29:43Your majesty, something terrible has happened.
00:29:46Her ladyship is at the Shen's.
00:29:47At the Shen's.
00:29:49What happened there?
00:29:50What is it?
00:29:52Speak!
00:29:52During her homecoming visit, the Shens mistreated her.
00:29:56They forced her ladyship to kneel.
00:29:58What?
00:29:59Please calm down, sire.
00:30:01Summon my men.
00:30:02Call the Shadow Guards and come with me to Shen residence.
00:30:05Sire, where are you going?
00:30:07The Dowager Empress said.
00:30:21Our body, hair, and skin are gifts from our parents.
00:30:24If you wish to sever ties, you must first repay the debt you owe them.
00:30:29Walk across and your wish shall be granted.
00:30:32No!
00:30:32The coals are burning so fiercely.
00:30:34Anyone who steps on them would never survive.
00:30:37I won't do it.
00:30:38Oh?
00:30:38It seems Elder Sister no longer wants the Jade Pendant.
00:30:42Don't throw it!
00:30:46Kiyu is the only person who ever truly cared for me.
00:30:49That pendant was left to him by his parents.
00:30:51I won't let this gift be desecrated.
00:30:55Fine.
00:30:56I'll walk.
00:31:20For the sake of a beggar, you'd actually go this far.
00:31:23You've truly lost your mind.
00:31:25Kiyu!
00:31:28A worthless Jade Pendant is enough for a pampered young lady to walk through hot coals.
00:31:33No wonder she'd marry a beggar.
00:31:36After all, a beggar has nothing of value to offer.
00:31:38No wonder Elder Sister treasures it so.
00:31:42I don't have much to offer you now.
00:31:44This Jade Pendant was my father's last gift to me.
00:31:47Now I give it to you.
00:31:56To you, I will get that Jade Pendant back.
00:32:10She actually made it through.
00:32:13No wonder.
00:32:17No wonder.
00:32:18No wonder.
00:32:19No wonder.
00:32:19No wonder.
00:32:19No wonder.
00:32:22No wonder.
00:32:23No wonder.
00:32:26I'll take it.
00:32:28This Jade Pendant is yours.
00:32:30No wonder.
00:32:39No wonder.
00:32:45No wonder.
00:32:47No wonder.
00:32:53No wonder.
00:33:07Found it!
00:33:09Finally found it!
00:33:12You cherish so dearly your bond with that filthy beggar.
00:33:17If your face were ruined, would your beloved husband still want you?
00:33:22You!
00:33:22What are you doing glaring at me like that?
00:33:25I warned you long ago.
00:33:26Marrying a beggar leads to one fate being trampled underfoot.
00:33:30All you're scheming to torment me.
00:33:32Will it truly get you what you want?
00:33:40What I want is for you to spend the rest of your life hiding in the gutter.
00:33:44Like a rex, watching me become the most exalted woman in this world.
00:33:55Master, master, the His Majesty is here.
00:33:58What did you say?
00:33:59His Majesty.
00:34:16Shen Yun King!
00:34:28Chi Yu.
00:34:29Your Majesty!
00:34:35Shen Yun King.
00:34:36Shen Yun King.
00:34:38I'm sorry I'm late.
00:34:39Chi Yu.
00:34:41I didn't lose the Jade Pendant you gave me.
00:34:47Wasn't it supposed to be the Emperor?
00:34:49How can it be him?
00:34:51That filthy beggar can actually afford such lavish clothes!
00:34:55And these men, aren't they palace guards?
00:34:58Why would they follow a beggar?
00:35:00Mother, I heard that beggar's brother once held a post in the palace.
00:35:03How hard could it be to steal a few outfits?
00:35:05This beggar must be here because he lost face at the wedding last time and wants to save face.
00:35:10I heard there have been thefts in the palace.
00:35:12Could they be the ones behind it?
00:35:15What a joke!
00:35:16A filthy beggar dares put on a show in our Shen residence!
00:35:19Sister, look at the fine husband you chose.
00:35:22Being useless is one thing.
00:35:23But now to save face?
00:35:25He has the audacity to steal from the Imperial Palace.
00:35:27If the Emperor finds out, will you even survive?
00:35:30Incorrigible fool.
00:35:32You're courting death.
00:35:37What?
00:35:38What are you gonna do?
00:35:39Shen Yun King was wrong.
00:35:41It hurts.
00:35:53Who did this?
00:35:54It was me.
00:35:55So what?
00:35:56I was only trying to help my dear sister.
00:35:58Who would have thought she'd walk barefoot over hot coals just for some worthless jade pendant?
00:36:03I can't fathom what goes on in that head of hers.
00:36:06Arterly stupid.
00:36:07Shut your mouth!
00:36:08Who do you think you are to shriek and holler before me?
00:36:11So what if I berate her?
00:36:13She's the one who married a useless wretch like you.
00:36:15Compared to me, Shen Yun King, you're nothing but ants.
00:36:19Even if I wanted her dead today, she should kneel and thank me for it.
00:36:23Let's see how long you keep up this charade.
00:36:25Seize him!
00:36:29No one lays a hand on what's mine.
00:36:32Seize them!
00:36:33Yes, sir!
00:36:37Ah!
00:36:39How dare you!
00:36:40I am the lady of the Moorong residence!
00:36:44Husband, save me!
00:36:46You filthy beggar!
00:36:47You dare lay hands on my wife?
00:36:49You must have a death wish!
00:36:52Wretched fool!
00:36:53Young Master Moorong is of royal blood.
00:36:55If you dare touch him, you make an enemy of all the Moorongs.
00:36:59Royal blood?
00:37:00So what?
00:37:01Anyone who touches my people will meet nothing but death.
00:37:06You filthy beggar!
00:37:07You're overplaying your hand!
00:37:09Before I lose my temper, let go now and I might spare your life!
00:37:12You've tormented Shen Yun-King to such a wretched state!
00:37:16Shove their faces into the burning coals!
00:37:19No, father!
00:37:20Let me go!
00:37:21Shower!
00:37:22Father, do something!
00:37:23You dare touch me?
00:37:25When the Ministry of Justice arrives, they won't let you off!
00:37:28Wait!
00:37:29You said the Ministry of Justice?
00:37:33Scared now, aren't you?
00:37:34My brother is a court official.
00:37:35If you harm me, you're as good as dead!
00:37:41I'd like to see.
00:37:43Exactly who in the Ministry of Justice would indulge scum like you to be so brazen.
00:37:48Press him down!
00:37:50Shower!
00:37:51Let me go!
00:37:52Let me go!
00:37:53You worthless wretch!
00:37:54Want to die?
00:37:55Don't drag the Shen family down!
00:37:57Stop!
00:38:05Brother, brother, save me!
00:38:08Get him!
00:38:23You curf!
00:38:24You tried to hurt my brother?
00:38:26Insolent.
00:38:26What if I am?
00:38:29That voice.
00:38:31You're...
00:38:36Quite the authority you wield, Minister of Justice.
00:38:41Your Majesty.
00:38:42Your Majesty!
00:38:46Your Majesty, this beggar?
00:38:49Impossible!
00:38:51Brother, don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:38:54He stole from the Imperial Palace!
00:38:55These people were all bribed by him!
00:38:58You're new here.
00:38:59Mistakes are natural.
00:39:00But he really is just a filthy beggar, not the Emperor.
00:39:03Could I truly have been mistaken?
00:39:06I once got a glimpse from afar of His Majesty's profile.
00:39:10Perhaps they just look alike.
00:39:11His Majesty would never appear in a place like this.
00:39:14You wretched girl!
00:39:15Look at the fine husband you chose.
00:39:17Now you've provoked young Master Murak.
00:39:19Let's see how you get out of this.
00:39:20My lord, you must seek justice for us!
00:39:22That filthy beggar and Shen Yun-king have no regard for decency.
00:39:26They tried to murder their own kin!
00:39:28Outrageous!
00:39:29In the Imperial Capital, such insolence won't be tolerated.
00:39:32Guards!
00:39:33Take them all and throw them into the justice dungeon!
00:39:35Interrogate them under torture!
00:39:38Hold on!
00:39:40What else do you have to say?
00:39:41I had no idea when you became the Deputy Minister of Justice.
00:39:44You're just a filthy beggar.
00:39:46How could you possibly know about court officials?
00:39:49My brother was appointed by the Dowager Empress.
00:39:51Regretting it now, are you?
00:39:53You even dare to deceive the Dowager Empress.
00:39:55The Murong family certainly has some nerve.
00:39:58Dowager Empress, you must seek justice for me!
00:40:01His Majesty married outside wed to the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
00:40:05For that woman's sake, His Majesty even laughed out at me.
00:40:08What?
00:40:09You're saying the Emperor actually married some woman outside the palace?
00:40:16Attendance!
00:40:17Prepare my palanquins!
00:40:20How dare you?
00:40:21You dare offend the Empress?
00:40:23How many heads do you have to spare?
00:40:25Lord Murong, please see reason.
00:40:26The Shen family has severed all ties with Shen Yun-king.
00:40:29Whatever he said has nothing to do with us.
00:40:31My lord, the Shen family has always abided by the rules.
00:40:34We'd never dare malign the royals.
00:40:37We beg Lord Murong's fair judgment.
00:40:39Yes, my lord, please look into this.
00:40:40You filthy beggar!
00:40:41Offending royalty is a capital crime!
00:40:43My lord, you must not let him go!
00:40:45Shen Yun-king, your husband committed a grave crime.
00:40:48No one can save you today.
00:40:49I cannot let Chi-yu come to harm.
00:40:52Have mercy, my lord.
00:40:54My husband was merely confused for a moment.
00:40:59Shen Yun-king.
00:41:02I'll take you to a physician now.
00:41:06Such audacity!
00:41:07You dare try to flee?
00:41:08Guards, stop them!
00:41:12Anyone who dares stand in the way will be killed on sight.
00:41:15Yes, my lord!
00:41:18Shen Yun-king.
00:41:27You think leaving will be that easy?
00:41:41Shen Yun!
00:41:42Shen Yun-king.
00:41:45Shen Yun-king.
00:41:46Shen Yun-king.
00:41:48Shen Yun-king.
00:41:48Shen Yun-king, how can you be so vicious?
00:41:51Chi-yu has never wronged you.
00:41:53How could you do this to him?
00:41:54That filthy beggar dared have someone disfigure me.
00:41:57Did you really think I'd let you walk away so easily?
00:42:03Don't bother looking.
00:42:05Your men are too busy to save you now.
00:42:08You're asking for death.
00:42:12Chi-yu, I'm fine.
00:42:14Go now.
00:42:16Go.
00:42:17Can you really escape?
00:42:19Why won't you just leave me alone?
00:42:21I must say, you are truly blessed for your sister.
00:42:24Even married off to a beggar, you still win tree love.
00:42:27But the more that's so, the less I'll let you have your way.
00:42:30What lies between us should not involve the innocent.
00:42:34Do whatever you want to me.
00:42:36I beg you, let Chi-yu go.
00:42:42Shen Yun-king.
00:42:43Shen Yun-king, how touching.
00:42:46Even at a time like this, such devoted lovers you are.
00:42:49Since your bond runs so deep, I might as well send you off together.
00:42:54Die.
00:43:02The Dowager Empress arrived.
00:43:13Who dares harm my son?
00:43:16Greetings, Dowager Empress.
00:43:20He's truly the Emperor?
00:43:27The physician!
00:43:28Fetch the physician, quickly!
00:43:30Your Majesty, this servant deserves death!
00:43:33Silence!
00:43:36Shen Yun-king.
00:43:38Ren Lu.
00:43:39Escort Yun-king back to the palace for treatment.
00:43:41If anything happens to Shen Yun-king, I will hold you responsible.
00:43:45Yes, Your Majesty.
00:43:53My son, your wound.
00:43:59Your Majesty!
00:44:01Impossible!
00:44:02How can he be the Emperor?
00:44:04I had it all figured out.
00:44:06Given a second life, and I chose wrong again.
00:44:12Spare me, Your Majesty, please!
00:44:14Your Majesty!
00:44:15Please forgive me.
00:44:16I was blind and foolish and hurt you by mistake.
00:44:19Your Majesty, everyone in the Shen residence has been arrested.
00:44:24What?
00:44:25You called him?
00:44:26He was just a beggar.
00:44:28How can he be the Emperor?
00:44:29Mercy, Your Majesty!
00:44:30I know my wrongs.
00:44:32When you were tormenting Shen Yun-king, did you ever imagine this day would come?
00:44:37Hear my decree.
00:44:39Shen Zhao and his entire household are to be executed on the spot.
00:44:44My lady!
00:44:47Moronghi, as a court official, abused his authority and aided in tyranny.
00:44:53Immediately, he was stripped of his post as Deputy Minister of Justice and imprisoned alongside Morongan.
00:45:01Lord, Dowager Empress, I have committed a grave offense, but it was all the Shen family's doing.
00:45:08For my father's sake, I beg you, grant this guilty servant a chance to atone.
00:45:13Yes, yes, exactly!
00:45:14We beg the Dowager Empress for mercy!
00:45:16My son, though the two Morong family sons are foolish, they were not the masterminds.
00:45:21Spare them this once and show leniency.
00:45:25But those two, as you wish, Mother.
00:45:35Shen Yun-king.
00:45:36Shi Yu, are you alright?
00:45:38Are you hurt?
00:45:39I'm fine.
00:45:40Lie back down.
00:45:41The physician said you shouldn't move with your wound.
00:45:43Physician?
00:45:45Why are we in the palace?
00:45:46The Dowager Empress saved us.
00:45:48The Dowager Empress?
00:45:53Mother.
00:45:54You wish to make Shen Yun-king your Empress?
00:45:56I will never allow it.
00:45:58I have already pledged myself to Shen Yun-king.
00:46:00Whether you consent or not, I will overcome any obstacle to make her my Empress.
00:46:06You...
00:46:08Very well.
00:46:09I will find an opportunity to test Shen Yun-king.
00:46:12If she passes my test, I will no longer stand in the way of your marriage.
00:46:17Thank you, Mother.
00:46:18Until then, you must not reveal your identity to Shen Yun-king.
00:46:24Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to punish her.
00:46:28I shall remember.
00:46:29She left the palace to pray and passed by the Shen Estate.
00:46:33That's how she saved us.
00:46:34What about my father?
00:46:36The Dowager Empress ordered your sister and Murong-an to receive 50 lashes.
00:46:40Murong-an had long frequented pleasure houses so his body couldn't endure it and he fainted.
00:46:45She had no choice but to confine him.
00:46:46Your sister was sent to hard labor to perform hard labor, as for your parents.
00:46:51What happened to them?
00:46:54They were exiled.
00:46:58Exiled.
00:47:02From now on, I'll protect you.
00:47:05I got a guard post from her.
00:47:07She placed you at the Bureau of Servants.
00:47:09From now on, we'll both serve in the palace.
00:47:12Good.
00:47:13Now that we both have positions, after three to five years of service, we'll leave the palace together and live
00:47:18an ordinary life.
00:47:19All right.
00:47:23Shen Yun-king.
00:47:24I hope you can forgive me.
00:47:30This is the Bureau of Palace Servants.
00:47:34So where do you guards stay?
00:47:36We patrol all over the place.
00:47:38No fixed quarters.
00:47:41Don't worry.
00:47:43Whenever I'm free, I'll come visit you.
00:47:45All right.
00:47:57Visiting the Bureau without any advance notice?
00:48:01This is the new maid, Shen Yun-king.
00:48:03In the days ahead, I must trouble Steward Lin to look after her.
00:48:09This is the Bureau's steward, Steward Lin.
00:48:11Go to her if you need anything.
00:48:13Greetings, Steward Lin.
00:48:14I see.
00:48:16Rest assured, I'll take good care of Shen Yun-king.
00:48:19She's being far too gracious.
00:48:21I'm here to work.
00:48:22Why does it feel like I'm here to be a mistress?
00:48:25Perhaps she's just a kind person.
00:48:26That's good, then.
00:48:27You won't be bullied at the Bureau.
00:48:29Shen Yun-king, please follow me.
00:48:42Wash all of these clean.
00:48:45We both serve in the Bureau.
00:48:46I have no reason to do your laundry.
00:48:48How dare you even ask?
00:48:50You took my duties, so now I scrub chamber pots.
00:48:53Some people, who knows what tricks they use to get into the Bureau.
00:48:56Since Steward Lin favors you so much, giving you all the easy work.
00:49:08Give it back!
00:49:11A Dragon Jade pendant.
00:49:12Only His Majesty may to wear such a thing.
00:49:15Speak!
00:49:16Where did you steal this?
00:49:17What is Majesty?
00:49:18Give me back my pendant now!
00:49:21Go notify to a one at once.
00:49:23Yes.
00:49:23All of you, stop!
00:49:53Your Majesty.
00:49:55This Bureau is such a humble place.
00:49:57You have never set foot here before.
00:49:59I fear it may offend your sacred person.
00:50:02Allow this old servant to announce your arrival first.
00:50:05No means.
00:50:06I disguise myself as a senior attendant.
00:50:10Precisely to observe Shen Yun-king as she truly is.
00:50:13If she were to learn my identity, it would only complicate matters.
00:50:18Palace rules are strict.
00:50:20I was only gone for a brief moment and you've already grown so brazen.
00:50:24What do you take this place for?
00:50:26Madam, she did it all.
00:50:30Shen Yun-king stole His Majesty's pendant.
00:50:32I caught her.
00:50:33And fearing exposure, she actually tried to harm me.
00:50:36Left is the gravest sin here than sticky fingers.
00:50:39Madam Lin, you must punish her severely.
00:50:41Madam, it's not what they say.
00:50:43Enough!
00:50:47Hand over the Jade Pendant.
00:50:51The Jade Pendant is my own.
00:50:53I said hand it over.
00:51:01A dragon-emblazoned Jade Pendant.
00:51:03It really is His Majesty's.
00:51:11Please judge fairly, Madam.
00:51:12I truly did not know it belonged to His Majesty.
00:51:15Madam, please don't be deceived by her honeyed words.
00:51:18She dared to steal His Majesty's Jade Pendant.
00:51:21Who knows what other audacious things she might do in the future.
00:51:24Palace rules clearly state that for theft of goods worth more than one chian,
00:51:29the left foot shall be severed and branding administered.
00:51:32I will thoroughly investigate this matter.
00:51:34Until the truth is established, the Jade Pendant shall remain in my custody.
00:51:38If you are truly innocent, I will see that justice is done.
00:51:43Rise.
00:51:45Thank you, Madam.
00:51:47This is Madam Wang, the new steward.
00:51:49She will be working alongside me to manage the bureau.
00:51:52Madam Wang.
00:51:53All of you behave yourselves.
00:51:56Anyone caught shirking or scheming will be punished according to palace rules.
00:52:00Yes, Madam.
00:52:01The matter of you bullying your fellow servants is unresolved.
00:52:05Scrubbing the chamber pots is now your duty.
00:52:09You don't eat until you're done.
00:52:13Yes, Madam.
00:52:17And here I thought you had some real talent.
00:52:19So cunning and seductive.
00:52:21So good at seducing people.
00:52:23Yet you still got punished.
00:52:26Let's see if you dare act so arrogant around us again.
00:52:45There, isn't that better?
00:52:50Your Majesty.
00:52:52Miss Zhao has come to the palace again today.
00:52:54Would you like to?
00:52:55No.
00:52:56Send her back where she came from.
00:52:58But...
00:52:58And you.
00:52:59I'm going to see Shen Yun King.
00:53:01If you keep following, won't that give me away?
00:53:03I'll take my leave at once.
00:53:06All done.
00:53:07Well done, Shen Yun King.
00:53:09Shen Yun King.
00:53:11Ji Yu, what are you doing here?
00:53:14Stuart Lin.
00:53:15How could she make you do this?
00:53:16I'll talk to her.
00:53:17It's just chamber pots.
00:53:18It's not a big deal.
00:53:20Don't bother the matrons.
00:53:22All right.
00:53:24By the way, the jade pendant you gave me, what's the story behind it?
00:53:27Why does everyone say it belongs to His Majesty?
00:53:32Well...
00:53:34My father once earned the title of Top Scholar.
00:53:37To inspire future scholars, His Majesty bestowed the pendant upon him.
00:53:41That's how it came to our family.
00:53:43I see.
00:53:44No wonder they keep mentioning His Majesty.
00:53:46I thought you were lying to me.
00:53:48Who's there?
00:53:49It's Matron Wang.
00:53:51Go quickly.
00:53:51Tomorrow I'll be on duty under His Majesty.
00:53:53I'll find time to come see you then.
00:53:55All right.
00:53:59Matrons, I finished washing all the chamber pots.
00:54:02Finished?
00:54:03Then sweep the entire back courtyard from end to end.
00:54:09Yes, ma'am.
00:54:14Finally done sweeping.
00:54:23How dare you throw away my things.
00:54:27Granny Wang gave the order herself.
00:54:29Deliver her medicine at dawn tomorrow.
00:54:31She also said the medicine must be brewed with morning dew.
00:54:34Stay outside tonight to collect it.
00:54:36Morning dew?
00:54:38That's right.
00:54:39Morning dew.
00:54:40You all heard it.
00:54:41I'm not making this up.
00:54:42Why does Granny Wang single me out?
00:54:46After that jade pendant theft, Granny Wang didn't punish you.
00:54:50That was merciful enough.
00:54:51All she's asking is for you to collect morning dew.
00:54:54Be grateful.
00:54:55I never stole that jade pendant.
00:54:57Stop making false accusations.
00:54:59Not stolen?
00:55:00Then what, His Majesty personally gave it to you?
00:55:03I...
00:55:04Forget it.
00:55:05Why do I even bother explaining to you people?
00:55:08Who said you could go in?
00:55:09The night dew is heavy and cold.
00:55:11I'm getting my own blanket.
00:55:12You can't stop me.
00:55:13Such nerve.
00:55:14This is the palace.
00:55:15No yours or mine.
00:55:16Don't think steward Lin has your back.
00:55:18You can do as you please.
00:55:20Move.
00:55:25Chen Yun-King!
00:55:28Chen Yun-King!
00:55:30Are you alright?
00:55:31This?
00:55:32Who did this?
00:55:33Why is Eunuch Yuan-Loo here?
00:55:35Who'd he be?
00:55:36You're all dead!
00:55:38Your...
00:55:38Your Majesty.
00:55:40You're the Emperor?
00:55:47You're the Emperor.
00:55:48You're the Emperor.
00:55:48This is the inner palace.
00:55:49Who permitted you to enter?
00:55:51You must not reveal your identity to Shen Yun-King.
00:55:55I meant no offense.
00:55:57I only saw someone was hurt and rushed forward to help.
00:55:59He's not the Emperor.
00:56:01Then why does Eunuch Yuan-Loo show him such deference?
00:56:03Eunuch Yuan-Loo, what on earth is going on?
00:56:09You've all misunderstood.
00:56:10This young guard bears some resemblance to his majesty.
00:56:13So he was summoned to the palace for questioning.
00:56:15He's new and doesn't know the rules.
00:56:17Don't you know this bureau is not to be entered freely?
00:56:19Forgive me, madam.
00:56:20It was all my fault.
00:56:22I shouldn't have quarreled with Yauchi.
00:56:24And caused this young officer concern.
00:56:26Since you know you were wrong, off with you now.
00:56:29Thank you, madam.
00:56:34Your majesty.
00:56:36Just now I truly had no other choice.
00:56:41Go keep watch.
00:56:43Don't let the dowager blame Yun-King.
00:56:45Yes, sire.
00:56:47Eunuch Yuan-Loo.
00:56:53Edward Lin.
00:56:55Is there anything else, Eunuch Yuan-Loo?
00:56:58No, no, nothing.
00:57:04As for you...
00:57:07I wonder who's backing her and what their status really is.
00:57:11Consorting with a guard is a grave offense.
00:57:13Yet Madam Wang only made her kneel.
00:57:17Now that you mention it, you're right.
00:57:19Even the matter of the stolen jade pendant was hushed up.
00:57:25Tell me, if the Emperor found out someone stole his jade pendant,
00:57:30what would he do to her?
00:57:40I still worry the dowager will blame Shen Yun-King.
00:57:45Then perhaps I should.
00:57:47Your majesty, a maid seeks audience outside the study.
00:57:59This is a great lord.
00:58:00You gave me a good man.
00:58:00I'm afraid.
00:58:04You have to do it.
00:58:04You have to do it.
00:58:08This is a great lord.
00:58:14I know.
00:58:17There is no one over президence.
00:58:18No, no, no.
00:58:19I'm afraid.
00:58:20He is afraid of any money.
00:58:20I am afraid.

01:06:50she told me a palace maid was seducing his majesty
01:06:53and i lost my composure
01:06:54and i lost my composure
01:06:55miss jiao

01:06:58if you wretched slave hadn't misled me
01:07:00how would i have made such a grave offense
01:07:04dowager empress i am innocent
01:07:06innocent of what
01:07:07you were the one who incited us to bully shen yun king
01:07:10you spread that rumor about her
01:07:12that was you too
01:07:13you jing zhang
01:07:14how dare you betray me
01:07:15enough
01:07:19the palace maid yauchi has spread malicious rumors and violated palace rules

01:07:29i am truly innocent
01:07:30shen yun king
01:07:31i saw you with that guard flirting with each other
01:07:33i never made anything up
01:07:38so
01:07:39you are the shen family's eldest
01:07:54shen yun king
01:07:56shen yun
01:07:58the dowager didn't punish you
01:08:00of course not
01:08:01she discussed the spring banquet with me
01:08:03asking if i had any thoughts on it
01:08:07that's a relief
01:08:12what is it
01:08:15shen yun king has passed the test
01:08:20so then may i tell her the truth
01:08:22and about making her empress
01:08:23there's no rush for that
01:08:25the spring festival banquet is next month
01:08:28the ministry can't handle both at once
01:08:30they simply don't have the manpower
01:08:32besides this is all too sudden
01:08:34i worry that the other ministers will object
01:08:41i suggest
01:08:43we let shen yun king organize the spring banquet
01:08:47if she can manage the banquet well
01:08:49it will not only prove her capability
01:08:51but also justify
01:08:53crowning her empress
01:08:54the dowager wants you to run the spring festival banquet
01:09:02don't worry

01:11:39i also wish to ask your majesty
01:11:41to grant shen yun kiao a reward
01:11:43i survived this ordeal
01:11:45only because shen yun kiao
01:11:46risked her life to save me
01:11:48i recall that shen yun kiao
01:11:49and shen yun king are sisters
01:11:51how do you think i should reward her
01:11:53yun kiao is indeed my sister
01:11:55but the two of us have seldom been close
01:11:57we share no deep bond
01:11:58as for yun kiao's affairs
01:12:00it is not my place to interfere
01:12:01i leave it entirely to your majesty
01:12:03your majesty
01:12:04i believe that shen yun kiao is kind hearted
01:12:07perhaps there has been some misunderstanding
01:12:10very well
01:12:11she has been in the discipline office long enough
01:12:14and seems to have changed somewhat

01:13:08i thought you'd truly become a phoenix
01:13:10but you're still a pheasant

01:17:29dowager empress
01:17:30i have something to say
01:17:32speak
01:17:33i wish to report shen yun king
01:17:34for an affair with a guard
01:17:36i saw it with my own eyes
01:17:37shen yun king and the guard
01:17:39were all over each other
01:17:40when caught
01:17:40she tried to conceal it
01:17:41if she dares to be so bold
01:17:43in broad daylight
01:17:43imagine what she does
01:17:44behind closed doors
01:17:49i did have contact with the guard
01:17:50but it was not the sordid affair
01:17:52they claim
01:17:53before we entered the palace
01:17:55we had already shared our feelings
01:17:56in the palace we rarely met
01:17:59if you had a clear conscience
01:18:00why rush to leave
01:18:01the moment you saw us
01:18:03such an affair means death
01:18:04you may execute me
01:18:06but i beg you to show mercy

01:18:21to seize the guard

01:18:33in the palace
01:18:34that maids are forbidden
01:18:35from associating with guards
01:18:37but shen yun king
01:18:39organized the banquet
