00:00:00Lady Shen of the Murong Residence, virtuous and prudent by nature, diligent and gentle, is hereby bestowed the title of
00:00:06First Rank Imperial Noble Lady.
00:00:09I humbly thank your majesty for this grace.
00:00:11Shen Yun King, receive the decree.
00:00:21Murder, help! Help!
00:00:32Sister.
00:00:34Why?
00:00:34Don'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!
00:01:01If I could have one more chance, I would give up all this glory.
00:01:07What time do you think it is? Still sleeping.
00:01:10You, 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'd 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 King.
00:01:54Sister, 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. Fine, 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!
00:02:12Get lost! All of you, get lost!
00:02:19In 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!
00:02:35The Murong's are distant kin to royalty. The eldest son, Murong-Hee, just days ago was appointed deputy minister of
00:02:42justice.
00:02:43If the Shen family could marry into the Murong's, 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.
00:02:57Shen Yun-Kiao, oh Shen Yun-Kiao, you scheme so hard that you don't know you've walked straight into a
00:03:02wolf's den.
00:03:06WONDERFUL WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL!
00:03:07Chow-An 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. Once I become Lady Murong,
00:03:17I shall watch my every word and deed and bring prosperity to our family. Sister, don't you agree?
00:03:23How fortunate for you, sister. I'm truly happy for you.
00:03:26Shen Yun-King, your good fortune has been stolen by me. In this lifetime, I will never let you overshadow
00:03:32me again.
00:03:35Shen Yun-Kiao, look! Young Master Murong can hardly take his eyes off you.
00:03:48Isn't that...
00:03:49The Emperor?
00:03:51Your Majesty, dress like this outside. If the Dowager Empress finds out...
00:03:56She nags me daily to pick a concert. I have no choice but to slip out for some peace.
00:03:59It's a good chance to see the life of common folk. Your Majesty has always been a devoted ruler,
00:04:04but dress like this. Shabby as these clothes are. They help me blend in unnoticed.
00:04:09Would you rather I stroll through the streets in my dragon robe?
00:04:19Your Majesty, are you all right? Watch it, you filthy beggar!
00:04:22Hurry! Master Shen's two daughters are tossing the ball today. We'll miss it if we're late.
00:04:26Choosing 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.
00:04:34How fitting. This time, 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 secondness.
00:04:44What are they up to?
00:04:45Now that our Shen family has secured ties with the Murong residence,
00:04:49when Shen Yun-King chooses her husband shortly, she'd better not disappoint.
00:04:53Mother, what kind of thing is that to say? Sister has always been lucky.
00:04:57How could she possibly embarrass father? If you ask me, sister will surely find the finest husband of all.
00:05:02Shen Yun-King, your sister's marriage is as good as settled now. We already have one with power,
00:05:07so you'd better find 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,
00:05:18are all but passing clouds and drifting smoke. In this life, I only wish to find a good and true
00:05:23companion and live out my days in peace. Your 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 Yun-Kiao's embroidered ball.
00:05:48Oh my! A perfectly good embroidered ball! Snatched away by a beggar! Sister,
00:05:53what rotten luck you have! Of all people, you picked a beggar! Who knows which deity you've offended?
00:05:58Where does that leave father's reputation? Useless girl! With all those men below,
00:06:03you had to throw it to a beggar! Now everyone in Shang-Jing is laughing at us! Are you trying
00:06:07to
00:06:07humiliate me? My lord! At least our chow has done well and matched with the Murongs. Otherwise,
00:06:13the Shen family would truly be disgraced today. How would we ever show our faces again? What's done is done!
00:06:20Sister, don't be too upset. Though this beggar is lowborn, at least his face is passable. I just feel sorry
00:06:25for you,
00:06:26sister. Spoiled since childhood. Now marrying a beggar. Marriage is a woman's greatest path in life!
00:06:32You chose a beggar! From now on, you'll sleep under the sky! The Shens can't help you!
00:06:37Oh my! This is going to be quite a show! The Shen family's eldest actually marrying a beggar?
00:06:42Everyone's watching! If she refuses, the Shens broke their word! Who would ever deal with the
00:06:46Shen family again? Exactly! Let's see what the Shens do! Hey, where are you going? Stop her!
00:06:51Don't let her run off! My lord, I finally found you! My heavens! Why is the embroidered ball in your
00:06:59hands? Perhaps you should just toss it away! Outside the palace, we are ordinary commoners. We
00:07:06mustn't break the customs of the people. Besides, dressed as shabbily as I am, she certainly won't want to marry
00:07:11me.
00:07:24I... Sister, in such a rush to meet your perfect match? You threw the embroidered ball yourself!
00:07:30You chose the man yourself! Don't tell me you're having regrets! You wretched girl! Look at the
00:07:35beggar you drew in! If he becomes our son-in-law, you'd be trampling our entire family's honor beneath
00:07:40your feet! In my past life, I suffered at the Murong residence, reduced to a pawn for the Shens to
00:07:45court the
00:07:45powerful. Looking back now, I'd rather marry a beggar and live in peace. The rule of the ball toss is
00:07:51that whoever catches it is chosen! Even if you refuse now, I am willing to marry him! I am willing
00:07:57to marry him!
00:08:05My name is Shen Yun-King. What's yours? I... My name is Chi Yu.
00:08:14Today, with all of you as witnesses, I, Shen Yun-King, am willing to marry Chi Yu as his wife!
00:08:24You truly want to marry me? Of course! You already caught my embroidered ball! Would
00:08:30you go back on your word? No, it's not that! It's just that I have nothing! If you marry me,
00:08:36you'll have no proper home, barely enough to eat! Would you still agree? We both have two hands and two
00:08:41feet! What we want, we can build for ourselves! If we work hard in the future and find honest work,
00:08:47making a living won't be hard. Palace people would resort to anything for the smallest gain.
00:08:51She's unlike anyone I've met, someone so easily content. A filthy beggar, and she actually treats
00:08:56him like a treasure! Shen Yun-King, you'd better think this through. Marrying a beggar means ruining
00:09:02your own future. A future isn't built on status alone, but on character and virtue. Chi Yu may be
00:09:08dressed plainly, but he seems approachable, well-mannered, and may well make a fine match. You...
00:09:14The rules of the embroidered ball toss have already been set. Even if Master Shen wishes to go back on
00:09:19his word now, it's too late. That's right. If he refuses, not only would it break our customs,
00:09:25it would tarnish the Shen name. Since you've chosen to marry down, don't ever blame the Shen family for it.
00:09:33The Shen family's future glory will have nothing to do with you. I understand, Father. All right,
00:09:38everyone, move along. Always crowding around for a spectacle, honestly. The show's over. Time to go
00:09:44home. Young Master Murong! Young Master Murong, please wait! Young Master Murong, would you kindly
00:09:51come to the Shen residence to discuss the wedding? Let's go. Right this way, please. Sister, don't say I
00:10:00didn't warn you. Marrying a beggar for the rest of your life, you'll forever be beneath me. Perhaps you
00:10:06should worry about yourself first. Life at the Murong residence won't be as easy as you imagine.
00:10:19You... Make way, make way!
00:10:37Oh heavens, are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere? I'm fine. See? I'm perfectly all right. I'm so
00:10:43sorry. I'm truly sorry. It wasn't on purpose. Be careful next time. Will do! To marry someone so
00:10:49gentle and kind-hearted, that is my good fortune in this life. In three days, come to the Shen residence
00:10:55for me. Back at the palace, Mother would force me to choose a consort. So why not? Very well. I'll
00:11:01be there for sure.
00:11:06The second Miss Shen is wed today. Her dowry includes gold inlaid gemstones,
00:11:13phoenix hairpins, a pair, one EC pearl flower crown, a pair of jade bracelets,
00:11:1920 bolts of shoe brocade, and three land deeds for silk shops in the east of the city.
00:11:26The second Miss Shen's dowry is worth a fortune, yet the eldest Miss Shen got nothing at all.
00:11:31Both daughters of the Shen family want a stark difference. Haven't you heard? The second Miss
00:11:36Shen is marrying the Murong residence's second young master, while the eldest Miss Shen is
00:11:40marrying a beggar. How could they be treated the same? If my sister truly marries a beggar,
00:11:45she'll toil for the rest of her life. I wonder if she'll adapt? The groom is here!
00:11:53Wordy of the Murong's second young master, what a grand procession. The Murong residence holds
00:11:58immense power. Once the second Miss Shen marries in, she'll live in endless luxury. But Shen
00:12:03ying king marrying the beggar. That'll be quite the spectacle. Here we call!
00:12:14Greetings, father and mother. Rise, rise, son-in-law. This bridal procession of yours
00:12:20is a rare spectacle in all of Shangjing. That shower is so valued by you as an honor for our
00:12:26Shen family.
00:12:27Young master Murong has arrived, yet there's no sign of the other groom. If I were him,
00:12:31I'd bury myself underground and never show my face. Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly past.
00:12:37Your husband still hasn't come for you. Perhaps he doesn't intend to come at all.
00:12:42He's here! He's here! The groom is here!
00:12:48You finally came. What I promised you, I will fulfill.
00:13:00I'm terribly sorry for arriving late. What on earth are you wearing? Before all these guests,
00:13:05you're making me lose face! Today is her wedding day, after all. And this beggar shows up dressed
00:13:10like this to claim his bride. How can my sister not find this humiliating? Marriage is a lifelong
00:13:17matter. What matters is sincerity, not appearances. The one eye Shen Yun-king have chosen will never
00:13:22be swayed by others' words. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Don't be angry, master. Once Yun-king
00:13:28leaves, she'll have nothing to do with the Shen family. The auspicious hour has come. The bride
00:13:33may board the sedan. Minister Zhang has arrived! Shut your mouth if you want to live.
00:13:47What an honor to have Minister Zhang grace us with his presence. Pardon us. Heaven rewards the devoted.
00:13:53It truly does. Congratulations, Master Shen. Thank you, thank you. Minister Zhang, please come inside.
00:14:00After you, bridegroom. The groom goes first. After you, please.
00:14:07Don't tell me you walked here on foot. On a wedding day, no bride has ever walked to her
00:14:12husband's home. Well, today is certainly an eye-opener. Indeed, unlike my husband.
00:14:26My lady, let's go home.
00:14:29My lady, let's go home.
00:14:30My lady, let's go home.
00:14:48Shen Yun-king, once I'm an imperial noble lady, you'll regret this.
00:14:53Shen Yun-king...
00:15:04...so 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.
00:15:44Home?
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, rest assured.
00:16:17I'll keep it safe.
00:16:19His Majesty gave away his personal jade pendant.
00:16:22Does he truly love Shen Yun King?
00:16:35He's from the anlamers and the Fourth of Heaven.
00:16:36He would love to stay here for вос répondre.
00:16:38I won't let you Carlo Gunou.
00:16:39I won't let you happen today.
00:16:40He would love to be here for the future.
00:16:40I won't let you control him.
00:16:47He won't let you destroy his own hidden Enhanced counsel.
00:16:48But he believed him when he passed away from the stumbled.
00:16:57He believed a như community on the next course of Shenan's book.
00:17:22This bed is far too hard.
00:17:39Now it's hot.
00:17:41Shen Yun King are you alright?
00:17:43Did you burn yourself?
00:17:44I'm fine don't worry, breakfast is ready, eat while it's still warm, I need to step
00:17:48out for a bit.
00:17:50Where are you going?
00:17:51Today is the day a new bride visits her 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.
00:18:09Your majesty.
00:18:14Greetings your 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.
00:18:28Yuan Lu.
00:18:29What are you doing?
00:18:30Are you alright?
00:18:31I'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.
00:18:39They.
00:18:39They're here looking for Yuan Lu.
00:18:41Oh right.
00:18:41My 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 Yuan Lu with the guests.
00:18:51Can 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?
00:19:08Yuan 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.
00:19:21As 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.
00:19:31Cheiyu is home entertaining guests.
00:19:33I better not go back and disturb him.
00:19:36Father never approved of Cheiyu'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.
00:19:57Father your daughter is home.
00:20:02Father.
00:20:05Why did you come back alone sister?
00:20:11Today is the bridal homecoming.
00:20:13Why did you come back alone sister?
00:20:15Could it be?
00:20:15You're afraid your beggar husband would embarrass you.
00:20:18So you wouldn't even let him come back with you.
00:20:21My 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 I 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 Murong residence she 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, I doubt you've even seen your own husband.
00:20:53You!
00:20:55Damn you Murong An!
00:20:57On our wedding night he went to the pleasure houses and everyone found out about it.
00:21:02He humiliated me completely.
00:21:04Chowr!
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 and you've forgotten all the manners we taught you.
00:21:21A man as distinguished as young master Murong escorted Chowr home for the visit.
00:21:25Your husband who knows what he's busy with couldn't even accompany you.
00:21:29Mother don'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 that 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.
00:22:21Get out!
00:22:22What a disgraceful thing!
00:22:24Sister, what 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, never mind.
00:22:39She married a beggar after all.
00:22:40What could you expect her to bring?
00:22:42Master! Master!
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 Yun King 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.
00:23:31To think even the palace took notice.
00:23:35Those currying favor with us are countless.
00:23:37Father-in-law, please accept these.
00:23:40Our Chao 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 Yun King.
00:23:50Thank you, Shopkeeper.
00:23:51Sorry for the trouble.
00:23:53They'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.
00:24:45Take care of yourself.
00:24:46I'll come visit another day.
00:24:50In my past life, because of that wretched beggar, I suffered endlessly.
00:24:54Why should Shen Yun King get to leave so easily?
00:24:56Father, 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 Vermilion 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.
00:25:44Greetings, your majesty.
00:25:46Greetings, your majesty.
00:25:48Mother.
00:25:50Didn't she faint?
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.
00:26:00Was that so hard for you?
00:26:01As the emperor, you dared sneak out and cause trouble.
00:26:04The consort selection?
00:26:05You may decide, mother.
00:26:07Since you are well.
00:26:08I'll take my leave.
00:26:09You-
00:26:12Your majesty, the memorials have been piling up for days.
00:26:15If you delay any further, urgent matters may suffer.
00:26:18Please put state affairs first, your majesty.
00:26:20After reviewing them, you can still reach Shen residents in time.
00:26:24To the imperial study, Chow 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.
00:26:37No gifts to present.
00:26:39Asking you to pay respects is hardly unreasonable.
00:26:42Your sister thought of the Shen family.
00:26:44Unlike you, who married a beggar and disgraced our family.
00:26:47What dignity?
00:26:49Only because Yun-Kiao married into a wealthy family that you indulge her so.
00:26:53Insolent wretch!
00:26:54Have 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!
00:27:07Speaking to your father like that!
00:27:13The Dragon Jade Pendon!
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?
00:27:31Kiyu gave me this pendant!
00:27:32Give it back now!
00:27:33That filthy beggar?
00:27:35Then it's even less likely to be his.
00:27:38He must have stolen it from somewhere.
00:27:40A dragon emblazoned pendant.
00:27:41How could it possibly appear here?
00:27:43Turns out I was mistaken.
00:27:45Kiyu may not match your noble birth.
00:27:47Just because you own pendants as a matter of course,
00:27:50does that mean Chi-Yu is unworthy?
00:27:53Guarding a beggar's trinket as though it were precious.
00:27:56Come to think of it!
00:27:57How strange!
00:27:58You've been out here for so long,
00:28:00yet 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!
00:28:08You can have it back,
00:28:09but first you must sever all ties with the Shen family.
00:28:13You father!
00:28:14Will you let Shen Yunqiao 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,
00:28:26and 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,
00:28:49I, Shen Yunking, 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?
00:29:29The End
00:29:30Greetings, your majesty.
00:29:32Who sent you here?
00:29:34I am the daughter of the Grand Chancellor Zhao Shun, Xiao Waner.
00:29:37The Dowager Empress sent me to attend to your majesty.
00:29:40I have state affairs to attend to. Leave.
00:29:43Your majesty, something terrible has happened.
00:29:46Her ladyship is at the Shen's. At the Shen's.
00:29:49What happened there?
00:29:51What is it? Speak!
00:29:53During her homecoming visit, the Shen's mistreated her.
00:29:56They forced her ladyship to kneel.
00:29:58What?
00:30:00Please 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.
00:30:16Sire, where are you going?
00:30:23The Dowager Empress said.
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! The coals are burning so fiercely. Anyone who steps on them would never survive. I 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. That pendant was left to him by his parents.
00:30:52I won't let his gift be desecrated.
00:30:55Fine. I'll walk.
00:31:20For the sake of a beggar, you'd actually go this far. You'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. No wonder she'd marry
00:31:34a beggar.
00:31:36After all, a beggar has nothing of value to offer. No wonder Elder Sister treasures it so.
00:31:42I don't have much to offer you now. This Jade Pendant was my father's last gift to me. Now I
00:31:47give it to you.
00:31:56To you, I will get that Jade Pendant back.
00:32:21To you, I will get that Jade Pendant back.
00:32:25If you dare take it. This Jade Pendant is yours.
00:32:30I will get that Jade Pendant back.
00:32:46I will get that Jade Pendant back.
00:32:46She really does treasure it.
00:32:48I love it.
00:32:51You're so sweet.
00:32:52I love it.
00:32:54I love it.
00:32:55I love it.
00:32:57I love it.
00:33:08Found it! Finally 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!
00:33:23What are you doing glaring at me like that?
00:33:25I warned you long ago. Marrying a beggar leads to one fate being trampled underfoot.
00:33:30All you're scheming to torment me. Will 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.
00:33:45Like a rex watching me become the most exalted woman in this world.
00:33:55Master! Master! His Majesty is here!
00:33:58What did you say?
00:33:59His Majesty!
00:34:16Shen Yunqing!
00:34:17Shen Yunqing!
00:34:18Shen Yunqing!
00:34:28Shen Yunqing!
00:34:28too large
00:34:29your majesty
00:34:35Shen Yunqing!
00:34:37Shen Yunqing!
00:34:38I'm sorry I'm late.
00:34:39Qiyu!
00:34:41man
00:34:41I didn't lose the Jade Pendant you gave me!"
00:34:47Wasn't it supposed to be the emperor? How can it be him?
00:34:51That filthy beggar can actually afford such lavish clothes. And these men, aren't they palace guards? Why would they follow
00:34:59a beggar?
00:35:00Mother, I heard that beggar's brother once held a post in the palace. How hard could it be to steal
00:35:05a few outfits? This beggar must be here because he lost face at the wedding last time and wants to
00:35:09save face.
00:35:10I heard there have been thefts in the palace. Could they be the ones behind it?
00:35:15What a joke! A filthy beggar dares put on a show in our Shen residence!
00:35:19Sister, look at the fine husband you chose. Being useless is one thing, but now to save face, he has
00:35:25the audacity to steal from the imperial palace. If the emperor finds out, will you even survive?
00:35:31Incorrigible fool, you're courting death.
00:35:37What? What are you gonna do?
00:35:40Shen Yun King was wrong.
00:35:41It hurts.
00:35:53Who did this?
00:35:54It was me. So what? I was only trying to help my dear sister. Who would have thought she'd walk
00:35:59barefoot over hot coals just for some worthless jade pendant?
00:36:04I can't fathom what goes on in that head of hers. Utterly stupid.
00:36:08Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are to shriek and holler before me?
00:36:11So what if I berate her? She's the one who married a useless wretch like you. Compared to me, Shen
00:36:16Yun 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. Seize him!
00:36:29No one lays a hand on what's mine. Seize them!
00:36:33Yes, sir!
00:36:37Ah!
00:36:39How dare you! I am the lady of the moron residence!
00:36:44Husband, save me!
00:36:46You filthy beggar! You dare lay hands on my wife? You must have a death wish!
00:36:52Wretched fool! Young master morong is of royal blood. If you dare touch him, you make an enemy of all
00:36:58the morongs.
00:37:00Royal blood? So what? Anyone who touches my people will meet nothing but death.
00:37:06You filthy beggar! You're overplaying your hand!
00:37:09Before I lose my temper, let go now and I might spare your life!
00:37:13You've tormented Shen Yun King to such a wretched state.
00:37:17Shove their faces into the burning coals!
00:37:19No! Father, let me go!
00:37:21Scour! Father, 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? My brother is a court official.
00:37:36If 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!
00:37:51Shower!
00:37:51Let me go! Let me go!
00:37:53You worthless wretch! Want to die? Don't drag the Shen family down!
00:37:58Stop!
00:38:05Brother, brother, save me!
00:38:08Get him!
00:38:23You cur!
00:38:24You tried to hurt my brother?
00:38:26Insolent!
00:38:27What if I am?
00:38:29That voice...
00:38:32You're...
00:38:36Quite the authority you wield, Minister of Justice.
00:38:41Your Majesty!
00:38:43Your Majesty!
00:38:47Your Majesty!
00:38:48This beggar? Impossible!
00:38:51Brother, don't let this filthy beggar fool you!
00:38:54He stole from the Imperial Palace!
00:38:56These people were all bribed by him!
00:38:58You're new here! Mistakes are natural!
00:39:00But he really is just a filthy beggar, not the Emperor!
00:39:04Could I truly have been mistaken?
00:39:06I once caught a glimpse from afar of His Majesty's profile.
00:39:10Perhaps they just look alike.
00:39:12His Majesty would never appear in a place like this.
00:39:14You wretched girl! Look 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!
00:39:21My Lord! You must seek justice for us!
00:39:23That filthy beggar and Shen Yun King have no regard for decency!
00:39:26They tried to murder their own kin!
00:39:29Outrageous!
00:39:29In the Imperial capital such insolence won't be tolerated!
00:39:33Guards! Take them all and throw them into the justice dungeon!
00:39:36Interrogate them under torture!
00:39:38Hold on!
00:39:40What else do you have to say?
00:39:42I had no idea when you became the Deputy Minister of Justice!
00:39:45You'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!
00:39:52Regretting it now are you?
00:39:53You even dare to deceive the Dowager Empress!
00:39:56The Murong family certainly has some nerve!
00:39:58Dowager Empress! You must seek justice for me!
00:40:02His 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!
00:40:09What?!
00:40:09You're saying the Emperor actually married some woman outside the palace?!
00:40:16Attendants!
00:40:18Prepare my palanquins!
00:40:21How dare you?!
00:40:22You dare offend the Empress?!
00:40:23How many heads do you have to spare?!
00:40:25Lord Murong, please see reason!
00:40:27The Shen family has severed all ties with Shen Yun King!
00:40:30Whatever he said has nothing to do with us!
00:40:32My Lord! The Shen family has always abided by the rules!
00:40:35We never dare malign the royals!
00:40:37We beg Lord Murong's fair judgment!
00:40:39Yes my Lord! Please look into this!
00:40:41You filthy beggar! Offending royalty is a capital crime!
00:40:44My 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!
00:40:50I cannot let Chiyu come to harm!
00:40:53Have mercy my Lord!
00:40:54My husband was merely confused for a moment!
00:40:59Shen Yun King!
00:41:03I'll take you to a physician now!
00:41:06Such audacity! You 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!
00:41:28You think leaving will be that easy?
00:41:41You think leaving will be that easy?
00:41:49Shen Yunqiao! How can you be so vicious?
00:41:52Ji Yu has never wronged you. How could you do this to him?
00:41:55That filthy beggar dared have someone disfigure me.
00:41:58Did you really think I'd let you walk away so easily?
00:42:04Don't bother looking.
00:42:05Your men are too busy to save you now.
00:42:09You're asking for death!
00:42:12Ji Yu, I'm fine.
00:42:15Go 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 with your sister.
00:42:24Even married off to a beggar, you still win tree loans.
00:42:27But the more that's so, the less I'll let you have your way.
00:42:31What lies between us should not involve the innocent.
00:42:34Do whatever you want to me.
00:42:37I beg you, let Ji Yu go.
00:42:43Shen Yunqiao!
00:42:45How touching!
00:42:46Even at a time like this, such devoted lovers you are.
00:42:50Since your bond runs so deep, I might as well send you off together.
00:42:54Die!
00:43:02The Dowager Empress arrives!
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!
00:43:29Quickly!
00:43:30Your Majesty, this servant deserves death!
00:43:33Silence!
00:43:37Shen Yunqing.
00:43:38Renlu.
00:43:39Escort Yunqing back to the palace for treatment.
00:43:41If anything happens to Shen Yunqing, I will hold you responsible.
00:43:45Yes, Your Majesty.
00:43:53My son, your wound.
00:43:59Your Majesty!
00:44:01Impossible!
00:44:03How 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.
00:44:20Your Majesty, everyone in the Shen residence has been arrested.
00:44:24What?
00:44:26You called him?
00:44:27He was just a beggar.
00:44:28How can he be the Emperor?
00:44:29Mercy, Your Majesty!
00:44:31I know my wrongs.
00:44:32When you were tormenting Shen Yunqing, 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.
00:45:01World Dowager Empress!
00:45:03I have committed a grave offense, but it was all the Shen family's doing.
00:45:07For me, for 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.
00:45:36Shen Yunqing.
00:45:36Shen Yunqing, are you alright? Are you hurt?
00:45:39I'm fine. Lie 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?
00:45:47The Dowager Empress saved us.
00:45:49The Dowager Empress?
00:45:54Mother!
00:45:55You wish to make Shen Yunqing your Empress?
00:45:57I will never allow it.
00:45:58I have already pledged myself to Shen Yunqing.
00:46:01Whether you consent or not, I will overcome any obstacle to make her my Empress.
00:46:07You...
00:46:08Very well.
00:46:09I will find an opportunity to test Shen Yunqing.
00:46:13If she passes my test, I will no longer stand in the way of your marriage.
00:46:18Thank you, Mother.
00:46:19Until then, you must not reveal your identity to Shen Yunqing.
00:46:24Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to punish her.
00:46:27I shall remember.
00:46:30She left the palace to pray and passed by the Shen Estate.
00:46:33That's how she saved us.
00:46:35What about my father?
00:46:37The Dowager Empress ordered your sister and Murongan to receive 50 lashes.
00:46:41Murongan 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.
00:46:47Your sister was sent to hard labor to perform hard labor.
00:46:50As 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.
00:47:10From 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.
00:47:20All right.
00:47:23Shen Yunqing.
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.
00:47:39No fixed quarters.
00:47:42Don't worry.
00:47:43Whenever I'm free, I'll come visit you.
00:47:46All right.
00:47:57Visiting the Bureau without any advance notice?
00:48:01This is the new maid, Shen Yunqing.
00:48:04In 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.
00:48:14Greetings, Steward Lin.
00:48:15I see.
00:48:16Rest assured, I'll take good care of Shen Yunqing.
00:48:20She'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.
00:48:27That's good, then.
00:48:28You won't be bullied at the Bureau.
00:48:30Shen Yunqing, please follow me.
00:48:43Wash all of these clean.
00:48:45We both serve in the Bureau.
00:48:47I have no reason to do your laundry.
00:48:49How 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.
00:49:13Only His Majesty may to wear such a thing.
00:49:15Speak!
00:49:16Where did you steal this?
00:49:17What, His Majesty?
00:49:18Give me back my pendant now!
00:49:21Go notify Steward Lin at once.
00:49:23Yes.
00:49:24Yes.
00:49:42I didn't mean to!
00:49:44Seize her now!
00:49:48All of you, stop!
00:49:53Your Majesty.
00:49:55This Bureau is such a humble place.
00:49:58You have never set foot here before.
00:50:00I fear it may offend your sacred person.
00:50:02Allow this old servant to announce your arrival first.
00:50:05No need.
00:50:07I disguise myself as a senior attendant.
00:50:10Precisely to observe Shen Yunqing as she truly is.
00:50:13If she were to learn my identity, it would only complicate matters.
00:50:19Palace 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 Yunqing stole His Majesty's pendant.
00:50:32I caught her, and fearing exposure, she actually tried to harm me.
00:50:36Theft 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.
00:51:02A dragon-emblazoned Jade Pendant.
00:51:04It really is His Majesty's.
00:51:11Please judge fairly, Madam.
00:51:13I truly did not know it belonged to His Majesty.
00:51:16Madam, 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.
00:51:25Palace 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.
00:51:35I will thoroughly investigate this matter.
00:51:35Until the truth is established, the Jade Pendant shall remain in my custody.
00:51:39If you are truly innocent, I will see that justice is done.
00:51:44Rise.
00:51:48This is Madam Wang, the new steward.
00:51:50She will be working alongside me to manage the bureau.
00:51:53Madam Wang.
00:51:54All of you behave yourselves.
00:51:56Anyone caught shirking or scheming will be punished according to palace rules.
00:52:00Yes, Madam.
00:52:02The 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.
00:52:20So cunning and seductive.
00:52:21So good at seducing people.
00:52:23Yet you still got punished.
00:52:27Let's see if you dare act so arrogant around us again.
00:52:46There, isn't that better?
00:52:51Your Majesty.
00:52:52Miss Zhao has come to the palace again today.
00:52:54Would you like to?
00:52:56No.
00:52:57Send her back where she came from.
00:52:58But.
00:52:59And you.
00:53:00I'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.
00:53:07All done.
00:53:08Well done, Shen Yun King.
00:53:10Shen Yun King.
00:53:11Ji Yu, what are you doing here?
00:53:14Stuart Lynn.
00:53:15How could she make you do this?
00:53:17I'll talk to her.
00:53:18It's just chamber pots.
00:53:19It'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.
00:53:26What's the story behind it?
00:53:28Why 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,
00:53:40His Majesty bestowed the pendant upon him.
00:53:42That'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.
00:53:49Who's there?
00:53:50It's Matron Wang.
00:53:51Go quickly.
00:53:52Tomorrow I'll be on duty under His Majesty.
00:53:54I'll find time to come see you then.
00:53:56All right.
00:54:00Matrons, I finished washing all the chamber pots.
00:54:03Finished?
00:54:03Then sweep the entire back courtyard from end to end.
00:54:10Yes, ma'am.
00:54:15Finally done sweeping.
00:54:23How dare you throw away my things!
00:54:27Granny Wang gave the order herself.
00:54:30Granny Wang gave the order herself.
00:54:30Deliver her medicine at dawn tomorrow.
00:54:32She also said the medicine must be brewed with morning dew.
00:54:35Stay outside tonight to collect it.
00:54:37Morning dew?
00:54:38That's right.
00:54:39Morning dew.
00:54:40You all heard it.
00:54:41I'm not making this up.
00:54:43Why does Granny Wang single me out?
00:54:47After that jade pendant theft, Granny Wang didn't punish you.
00:54:50That was merciful enough.
00:54:52All she's asking is for you to collect morning dew.
00:54:55Be grateful.
00:54:56I never stole that jade pendant.
00:54:57Stop making false accusations.
00:55:00Not stolen?
00:55:01Then what?
00:55:01His Majesty personally gave it to you?
00:55:04I...
00:55:05Forget it.
00:55:06Why do I even bother explaining to you people?
00:55:08Who said you could go in?
00:55:10The night dew is heavy and cold.
00:55:11I'm getting my own blanket.
00:55:13You can't stop me.
00:55:14Such nerve.
00:55:15This is the palace.
00:55:16No yours or mine.
00:55:17Don't think Stuart Lynn has your back.
00:55:19You 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?
00:55:34Why is Unic Yuan-Ru here?
00:55:35Could he be?
00:55:37You're all dead.
00:55:39Your...
00:55:39Your Majesty.
00:55:41You're the Emperor?
00:55:47Insolent fool.
00:55:48This is the inner palace.
00:55:50Who permitted you to enter?
00:55:51You must not reveal your identity to Shen Yun-King.
00:55:56I meant no offense.
00:55:57I only saw someone was hurt and rushed forward to help.
00:56:00He's not the Emperor.
00:56:01Then why is Unic Yuan-Ru showing him such deference?
00:56:04Unic Yuan-Ru, what on earth is going on?
00:56:09You've all misunderstood.
00:56:11This young guard bears some resemblance to his majesty.
00:56:13So he was summoned to the palace for questioning.
00:56:16He's new and doesn't know the rules.
00:56:17Don't you know this bureau is not to be entered freely?
00:56:20Forgive me, madam.
00:56:21It was all my fault.
00:56:22I shouldn't have quarreled with Yao-Chi and caused this young officer concern.
00:56:27Since you know you were wrong, off with you now.
00:56:30Thank you, madam.
00:56:33Hmm.
00:56:35Your Majesty.
00:56:36Just now I truly had no other choice.
00:56:42Go keep watch.
00:56:43Don't let the Dowager blame Yun-King.
00:56:46Yes, sire.
00:56:48Yun-Nuk Yuan-Ru.
00:56:54Edward Lin.
00:56:56Is there anything else, Yun-Nuk Yuan-Ru?
00:56:59No, no, nothing.
00:57:04As for you...
00:57:08I wonder who's backing her and what their status really is.
00:57:11Consorting with a guard is a grave offense, yet Madam Wang only made her kneel.
00:57:18Now that you mention it, you're right.
00:57:20Even the matter of the stolen jade pendant was hushed up.
00:57:26Tell me, if the Emperor found out someone stole his jade pendant, what would he do to her?
00:57:40I still worry the Dowager will blame Shen Yun-King.
00:57:45Then perhaps I should.
00:57:48Your Majesty, a maid seeks audience outside the study.
00:58:03B
00:58:12Let's go, sis.
00:58:22My... my face!
00:58:25You stupid fool! What did you put in that bowl?
00:58:28I... I got this recipe from a Taoist. He said that after consuming it, it would beautify the skin.
00:58:35I only meant well for you, Auntie Wong. I was simply foolish for a moment.
00:58:40An item of unknown origin? And you dared serve it to someone? What's going on inside that head of yours?
00:58:46Please forgive me. I won't do it again.
00:58:52Luckily, it was just an allergy and not life-threatening. But the rash on her face won't fade quickly.
00:58:57Guards! Drag her away and sell her off to a slave trader!
00:59:02Please spare me, Auntie!
00:59:11Auntie Wong, perhaps you could let me try.
00:59:14You?
00:59:14I've studied medical texts and can prepare remedies. Perhaps I can ease the rash on your face.
00:59:20If my method works, please spare Jing Shang's life.
00:59:28His Majesty hasn't paid any attention to me in ages.
00:59:32Yet I hear he has time to visit the Bureau of Palace Servants.
00:59:36Who in the Bureau of Palace Servants could have His Majesty so preoccupied?
00:59:42It's not me! Even if I had the nerve of a lion, I wouldn't dare seduce His Majesty!
00:59:50Now I remember! Yes! Someone at the Bureau has that kind of nerve!
00:59:55Shen Yun-King, if the noble consort thinks you're the one seducing His Majesty, let's see how arrogant you'll be
01:00:03then.
01:00:06You need only wait six hours, and the rash on your face will disappear.
01:00:12It does look a bit unsightly, but the rash does seem to be fading away.
01:00:18You do have some skill.
01:00:20Thank you for the kind words.
01:00:32If it weren't for you today, you can hit me or scold me, I'll take it all.
01:00:38Why would I scold you?
01:00:41You're willing to forgive me?
01:00:42You're not so bad, really.
01:00:44Just a bit sharp-tongued, that's all.
01:00:50Your Majesty, I believe that.
01:00:53His Majesty's resolve to make her Empress is no mere impulse.
01:00:58Shen Yun-King truly possesses remarkable qualities.
01:01:09It's her!
01:01:19You're the one who seduced His Majesty.
01:01:25With that seductive fox face of hers, no wonder she can't behave herself.
01:01:29It's one thing for His Majesty to find a bride outside, but since when?
01:01:34Through the likes of you.
01:01:35You lowly wretches dare to harbor such impudent thoughts?
01:01:45When did Shen Yun-King ever seduce His Majesty?
01:01:50Jingxian, have you forgotten how treated you before?
01:01:55Shen Yun-King never once provoked me of her own accord.
01:01:58It was you who picked fights on purpose.
01:02:06Do you have any idea who I am?
01:02:09That you dare act so insolent before me?
01:02:11The one standing before you is the daughter of Chancellor Zhao.
01:02:15Miss Zhao is the Dowager Empress's pick for Empress.
01:02:18You brainless fool!
01:02:20How dare you provoke Miss Zhao?
01:02:23As the Chancellor's daughter, Miss Zhao must be reasonable.
01:02:26I never seduced His Majesty.
01:02:28I truly haven't.
01:02:29Please my lady, have mercy on us.
01:02:32Let you go?
01:02:34According to Yao-Chi, not only did you try to seduce His Majesty,
01:02:37you didn't even spare the guards.
01:02:39I did no such thing!
01:02:41Flash her face for me!
01:02:49Stop!
01:02:51The Bureau of Palace Servants is part of the inner palace,
01:02:55since when is it your place to interfere?
01:02:58A mere old servant woman, dares to raise her voice before me?
01:03:03You, how dare you!
01:03:05Miss Zhao, the palace!
01:03:07Answer to His Majesty and the Dowager Empress.
01:03:09Punishing servants yourself is against the rules.
01:03:12I beg Miss Zhao to show mercy.
01:03:16His Majesty and I grew up together.
01:03:18I am the only candidate for Empress.
01:03:20This inner palace will be mine sooner or later.
01:03:23Dealing with a lowly maid is nothing worth mentioning.
01:03:26Preposterous!
01:03:28You're nothing but a servant of lowly birth.
01:03:30If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never know your place.
01:03:33Hold this wretch down for me as well.
01:03:35Yochi, how dare you!
01:03:39I never imagined you could be so vicious!
01:03:41I was truly blind!
01:03:53A disfigured old servant.
01:03:56Daring to use the title of Dowager Empress.
01:03:59You must have a death death.
01:04:00You still refuse to admit your wrongdoing.
01:04:03What wrong have I committed?
01:04:06Blame your own lowly birth.
01:04:09You could only enter the palace as slaves.
01:04:11Defying your masters as asking for death.
01:04:15You!
01:04:15Bring me my whip!
01:04:18As the steward of the Bureau of Palace Servants, you allowed a servant to seduce His Majesty.
01:04:24Leading others astray, your crime is unforgivable.
01:04:35Early next month marks the annual Spring Festival Banquet.
01:04:38This year, all nobles will be attending.
01:04:40Prepare well for it.
01:04:41Rest assured, sire.
01:04:43I shall spare no effort.
01:04:46Insolent wretch.
01:04:47Disturbing His Majesty.
01:04:48Do you know your crime?
01:04:50Your Majesty.
01:04:51Your Majesty.
01:04:53Greetings, Your Majesty.
01:04:55Please come to the Bureau of Palace Servants and save Shen Yun-King.
01:04:59What did you say?
01:05:00Shen Yun-King is in danger!
01:05:09What are you doing?
01:05:11Ms. Zhao came here for me.
01:05:14I can't let you be punished for no reason at all.
01:05:20How touching.
01:05:21Since you so enjoy playing the martyr, I shall grant your wish.
01:05:25Enough, Zhao Wanner.
01:05:26I warn you not to push this too far or else.
01:05:29You dare call yourself that?
01:05:30A slave who doesn't know her place.
01:05:32Today, I shall teach you some manners on behalf of the Dowager Empress.
01:05:36Stop!
01:05:41Your Majesty.
01:05:43Zhao Wanner, do you know who it is you were about to strike?
01:05:47Greetings, Dowager Empress.
01:05:48Greetings, Dowager Empress.
01:05:50How could you possibly be the Dowager Empress?
01:05:57Greetings, Dowager Empress.
01:06:02How is this possible?
01:06:03The Dowager Empress was merely testing you all.
01:06:06Yet you, so arrogant and presumptuous, dare to offend the Dowager Empress herself.
01:06:11Your Majesty, I didn't mean to do it.
01:06:14Please intercede with the Dowager Empress on my behalf.
01:06:17Your Majesty.
01:06:22I believe this matter is of great importance.
01:06:24It concerns the Dowager's dignity.
01:06:26Please judge this carefully.
01:06:28I-
01:06:37Exactly!
01:06:38You-
01:06:39Your Majesty!
01:06:41You still won't admit fault?
01:06:43I know my error.
01:06:44Dowager Empress, I should not have spoken so in your presence.
01:06:47Those words were never my true intent.
01:06:49It was all this servant's fault.
01:06:51She told me a palace maid was seducing His Majesty, and I lost my composure.
01:06:56Miss Zhao, it was clearly you who told me to-
01:06:58Silence!
01:06:59If you wretched slave hadn't misled me, how would I have made such a grave offense?
01:07:05Dowager Empress, I am innocent.
01:07:07Innocent of what?
01:07:08You were the one who incited us to bully Shen Yun-King.
01:07:11You spread that rumor about her.
01:07:13That was you too.
01:07:14Yu Jing-Zhang, how dare you betray me?
01:07:16Enough!
01:07:20The palace maid Yauchi has spread malicious rumors and violated palace rules.
01:07:25She is to be taken away and sold at once.
01:07:28Have mercy now at your Empress.
01:07:30I am truly innocent.
01:07:31Shen Yun-King, I saw you with that guard flirting with each other.
01:07:34I never made anything up!
01:07:40So, you are the Shen family's eldest.
01:07:55Shen Yun-King.
01:07:57Shen Yun-King, the Dowager didn't punish you?
01:08:01Of course not.
01:08:02She discussed the spring banquet with me, asking if I had any thoughts.
01:08:06Shen Yun-King and let your guests have any thoughts on it.
01:08:08That's a relief…
01:08:13What is it?
01:08:16Shen Yun-King has passed the test..
01:08:21So then, may I tell her the truth?
01:08:23And about making her empress?
01:08:25There's no rush for that.
01:08:27The Spring Festival Banquet is next month.
01:08:29The Ministry can't handle both at once.
01:08:31They simply don't have the manpower.
01:08:33Besides, this is all too sudden.
01:08:35I worry that the other ministers will object.
01:08:42I suggest we let Shen Yun-King organize the Spring Banquet.
01:08:48If she can manage the banquet well, it will not only prove her capability, but also justify crowning her empress.
01:08:56The Dowager wants you to run the Spring Festival Banquet.
01:09:00Me?
01:09:02But I don't know how to do any of this.
01:09:04Don't worry.
01:09:05With your talent, you'll manage just fine.
01:09:08I'll help you behind the scenes.
01:09:17Move it, all of you.
01:09:18Anyone caught slacking off, my whip doesn't have eyes.
01:09:26Useless.
01:09:27Still think you're some young lady?
01:09:29In the discipline office, nobody gets to slack off on my watch.
01:09:40Jen Yun-King, this is all your fault.
01:09:43Get in.
01:09:44Don't touch me.
01:09:45I'm the Prime Minister's daughter.
01:09:46You'd better show me some respect.
01:09:48The Prime Minister's daughter.
01:09:51In my past life, Murong-An rose at the Spring Banquet by the Dowager Empress.
01:09:55If I can escape this wretched place and find a way to get Murong-An to the Spring Banquet, I
01:10:00can turn it all around.
01:10:05What a dump!
01:10:06They actually expect me to wash clothes myself.
01:10:08Miss Zhao, I have a favor to ask.
01:10:11A favor for me?
01:10:12Why should I help you?
01:10:13If I weren't down on my luck, you wouldn't even be worthy of speaking to me.
01:10:21My sister, Shen Yun-King, is the reason I'm locked up here.
01:10:24If you're willing to help me escape, I'll repay you with everything I have.
01:10:29Shen Yun-King, come with me to the Discipline Office.
01:11:07Sir, what's the situation inside?
01:11:10The fire burned the whole rear yard.
01:11:12Nearly half the people didn't make it out.
01:11:14Could it be that Zhao Wanner has already...
01:11:19...Gallager Empress?
01:11:21Greetings, Your Majesty!
01:11:22Greetings, Your Majesty!
01:11:24Good!
01:11:25You're alive!
01:11:26At least I can answer to your father.
01:11:29I've learned my lesson. Please lift my punishment.
01:11:32This place, I truly cannot bear another day.
01:11:34Very well. With your temperament, the discipline office serves no purpose anyway.
01:11:40I also wish to ask your majesty to grant Shen Yunqiao a reward.
01:11:44I survived this ordeal only because Shen Yunqiao risked her life to save him.
01:11:49I recall that Shen Yunqiao and Shen Yunqing are sisters.
01:11:52How do you think I should reward her?
01:11:54Yunqiao is indeed my sister, but the two of us have seldom been close.
01:11:58We share no deep bond.
01:12:00As for Yunqiao's affairs, it is not my place to interfere.
01:12:02I leave it entirely to your majesty.
01:12:04Your majesty, I believe that Shen Yunqiao is kind-hearted.
01:12:08Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding.
01:12:11Very well.
01:12:13She has been in the discipline office long enough and seems to have changed somewhat.
01:12:17Then let her leave the discipline office for now.
01:12:20Thank you for your grace, your majesty.
01:12:22Shao Wanner, though I have lifted your punishment, I never said you were free to go.
01:12:28Next month, the marriage alliance with Liao shall fall to you.
01:12:33What? A diplomatic marriage?
01:12:35You refuse.
01:12:36Or would you remain in the discipline office?
01:12:39No.
01:12:40I obey, your majesty.
01:12:44Return to the palace.
01:12:45Your majesty, may I have a word with my sister?
01:12:52Shen Yunqiao, you've ruined our parents and the Murongs.
01:12:55You made me suffer endlessly through every torment.
01:12:58I will settle this score with you in time.
01:13:01It's only been a moment and you've already forgotten your pain.
01:13:04If you hadn't insisted on crossing me, how would you have ended up like this?
01:13:09I thought you'd truly become a phoenix, but you're still a pheasant.
01:13:13It seems the emperor never gave you a proper title.
01:13:16What do you mean by that?
01:13:21Drop the axe, weren't you with his majesty?
01:13:23Shen Yunking.
01:13:24Shen Yunking, the Dowager Empress wants you gone.
01:13:28She has more orders for you.
01:13:34Shen Yunking.
01:13:35Let's see how long you can stay so smug.
01:13:38Brother, please just let me go out.
01:13:40I'm cooped up here every day.
01:13:41One of these days.
01:13:43I'll lose my mind from it.
01:13:44You dare complain?
01:13:45If you and Shen Yunking hadn't been so foolish,
01:13:48we wouldn't have provoked his majesty and I wouldn't have lost my position.
01:13:52If you ask me, it's all that wretch Yunking's fault.
01:13:55Husband.
01:13:57How are you back?
01:13:58The Dowager Empress pardoned my punishment.
01:14:00I don't have to stay there anymore.
01:14:02You've brought this ruin upon us and you dare come back?
01:14:05Brother, the one who wronged you is Shen Yunking.
01:14:07Instead of blaming each other, why not think of a way to deal with her?
01:14:11Shen Yunking?
01:14:12She's probably already a consort by now.
01:14:14How can we fight her?
01:14:15I saw her at that office.
01:14:17We spoke face to face.
01:14:18Shen Yunking is just a lowly palacemade now.
01:14:21She's no threat at all.
01:14:23A palacemade?
01:14:24Did his majesty marry her on a whim?
01:14:27If his majesty truly cared for her, how could he bear to make her a servant?
01:14:31I've already thought it through.
01:14:32The spring banquet is early next month.
01:14:34All the nobles and aristocrats will be invited to the palace to attend.
01:14:38This is our only chance.
01:14:40The spring banquet?
01:14:40Our moorong family is on the guest list too.
01:14:43Then can I attend too?
01:14:46All the banquet guests are high-ranking nobles.
01:14:49We can't afford any mistakes.
01:14:51Oh, stop worrying.
01:14:52You've checked every detail several times already.
01:14:55Nothing will go wrong.
01:14:56I hope so.
01:15:07Delicious.
01:15:08Have more if you like it.
01:15:10Plenty more in the palace.
01:15:11Only because our seats are so remote this time that no one patrols here.
01:15:14Otherwise, we could never meet so openly like this.
01:15:18Shen Yunking.
01:15:22Once the banquet is over, I have something to tell you.
01:15:26All right.
01:15:27I'll be right here waiting.
01:15:35Husband, look!
01:15:40Shen Yunking!
01:15:42She's actually with a guard!
01:15:47You're on duty today.
01:15:48Hurry back now.
01:15:52Remember to wait for me.
01:16:00Dear sister, simply can't go anywhere without a man by her side.
01:16:06Shen Yunking, forgotten your brother-in-law?
01:16:09What?
01:16:10Barely cast aside by his majesty and already tangled up with a guard?
01:16:15This is the Imperial Palace, not your Shen residence that indulges you.
01:16:19Your every move will reach his majesty and the Dowager Empress.
01:16:23You've only just been released.
01:16:25Have you learned nothing?
01:16:27My husband and I are invited to the palace banquet.
01:16:30Honored guests!
01:16:31You are nothing but a servant.
01:16:33If pleased, they may reward you.
01:16:35If they are displeased, even if you die, no one would care.
01:16:39What are you doing?
01:16:46Shen Yunking!
01:16:52You escaped that incident at the Shen residence only because you were lucky.
01:17:00But now, no one is here to protect you.
01:17:03Greetings, your majesty, the Dowager Empress.
01:17:14Greetings, Dowager Empress.
01:17:19Shen Yunking, you've worked hard organizing the palace banquet.
01:17:27It is my duty.
01:17:28I don't find it hard at all.
01:17:30Dowager Empress!
01:17:31I have something to say.
01:17:33Speak.
01:17:34I wish to report Shen Yunking for an affair with a guard.
01:17:37I saw it with my own eyes.
01:17:39Shen Yunking and the guard were all over each other.
01:17:41When caught, she tried to conceal it.
01:17:43If she dares to be so bold in broad daylight, imagine what she does behind closed doors.
01:17:50I did have contact with the guard, but it was not the sordid affair they claim.
01:17:54Before we entered the palace, we had already shared our feelings.
01:17:58In the palace, we rarely met.
01:18:00If you had a clear conscience, why rush to leave the moment you saw us?
01:18:04Such an affair means death.
01:18:06You may execute me, but I beg you to show mercy and spare the young guard's life.
01:18:11It was I who asked to meet him.
01:18:17Ultimately, neither of you is innocent.
01:18:20I implore the Dowager Empress to seize the guard and execute it alongside her.
01:18:25Please execute them both to uphold palace decorum.
01:18:32There is indeed a strict rule in the palace that maids are forbidden from associating with guards.
01:18:39But Shen Yunking organized the banquet with great devotion.
01:18:43Her merits offset her fault.
01:18:45Her punishment shall be waived.
01:18:51Shen Yunking, you may go attend to your duties.
01:18:55Yes.
01:19:04She escaped punishment yet again.
01:19:06How is Shen Yunking always so lucky?
01:19:09First, the Emperor shielded her, and now the Dowager protects her.
01:19:12They even gave her the Spring Banquet to organize.
01:19:14Since Shen Yunking was in charge of the Spring Banquet, that makes things easy.
01:19:18Your Majesty, the banquet is over there.
01:19:20Where are you going?
01:19:21The banquet is about to begin.
01:19:23Please change and head over now.
01:19:25I've thought it over, and I feel that I should tell the truth to Yunking sooner.
01:19:29Go fetch Shen Yunking at once and tell her to meet me there.
01:19:32What is it?
01:19:37You've done a great service this time.
01:19:39The nobles all praised the Spring Banquet.
01:19:41Even the Dowager looked quite pleased.
01:19:44That's good to hear.
01:19:46Someone awaits you in the rear yard.
01:19:48Hurry.
01:19:49Who?
01:19:53Assassin!
01:19:53Protect the Dowager Empress!
01:19:56What happened in there?
01:19:58An assassin disguised as a dancer attacked the Empress.
01:20:01Young Master Morong took the blade for her.
01:20:04The assassin escaped.
01:20:05What?
01:20:08Take her away.
01:20:11What are you doing?
01:20:12The Empress was attacked.
01:20:14We have orders to arrest Shen Yunking.
01:20:16We're questioning at the court.
01:20:27Aye, Shen Yunking, greet the Prime Minister.
01:20:29Prime Minister Zhao, she was in charge of the banquet.
01:20:32Is her...
01:20:32The palace is heavily guarded.
01:20:34No one could get in easily.
01:20:36Shen Yunking must have colluded with the assassin.
01:20:38The one who sent Warner away is also named Shen Yunking.
01:20:42How dare you!
01:20:43You planted an assassin at the banquet to kill the Empress.
01:20:47What were you scheming?
01:20:48Everyone I arranged was verified.
01:20:50As for how an assassin got in, I truly do not know.
01:20:53Please grant me time to investigate.
01:20:55Of course you don't know.
01:20:56Before the banquet, you met secretly with a guard whispering intimately.
01:21:00You had no time to care for the Empress's safety.
01:21:03What?
01:21:03There's more to this?
01:21:04I can testify.
01:21:05That guard is at the rights office now.
01:21:07Guards!
01:21:07Bring that guard here!
01:21:08I will get to the bottom of this!
01:21:17Is it him?
01:21:20Yes, that's him.
01:21:28Lord Chancellor, they've been brought in.
01:21:33T.U.
01:21:34Shen Yunking, do you know your crime?
01:21:36The assassin?
01:21:37I truly know nothing of it.
01:21:39Lord Chancellor, please grant me some time.
01:21:41I will uncover the truth.
01:21:42The palace banquet was arranged by your own hands.
01:21:45You want to wash your hands of it now?
01:21:47Too late.
01:21:48Outside assassins used the banquet dance as cover to strike.
01:21:52This was clearly premeditated.
01:21:53Whether or not she sent the assassin?
01:21:56The dowager's safety was at risk.
01:21:58She must answer for it.
01:21:59I didn't.
01:22:00Lord Chancellor, please punish these two.
01:22:03Lord Chancellor, please judge fairly.
01:22:05The banquet assassin is all my fault.
01:22:07Please do not implicate anyone else.
01:22:09If my husband had not reacted in time and shielded the dowager,
01:22:13even ten heads of yours wouldn't suffice.
01:22:15I...
01:22:15Enough.
01:22:16Mei and Shen Yunking had an illicit affair defiling palace order.
01:22:20She endangered the dowager.
01:22:22Both shall be executed immediately.
01:22:24Lord Chancellor, please withdraw this order.
01:22:28Ji Yu.
01:22:31I'm sorry for dragging you into this.
01:22:33Shen Yunking, let's see how you get out of this one.
01:22:41I'd like to see who dares lay a hand on her.
01:22:45Your...
01:22:46Your Majesty.
01:22:47Long live, Your Majesty.
01:22:49Long live, long live.
01:22:55How is this possible?
01:22:57Shen Yunking, I'm sorry.
01:22:59I deceived you.
01:23:01Greetings, Your Majesty.
01:23:03Long live, Your Majesty.
01:23:05Shen Yunking, I...
01:23:07Your Majesty, what is going on?
01:23:08How dare you all, believing one side of the story and rushing to judgment, condemning an
01:23:13innocent person to death?
01:23:14Such conduct.
01:23:15How dare you call this governance?
01:23:18If I'm not mistaken, seizing me and bringing me here was your idea.
01:23:23Seeing the dowager in danger, I acted out of urgency.
01:23:26I didn't know the one with my sister was Your Majesty.
01:23:29Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
01:23:30I would never dare deceive Your Majesty.
01:23:32My loyalty to Your Majesty, Heaven and Earth, can attest.
01:23:35You have apposed Shen Yunking at every turn.
01:23:38Had I not been here today, you would have had your way.
01:23:41No.
01:23:42I never intended to harm my sister.
01:23:44I was truly worried about the dowager's health and lost my composure.
01:23:47Chancellor Zhao, you know this.
01:23:49I truly did not.
01:23:50Enough, Yunqiao.
01:23:51Say no more.
01:23:53Your Majesty, what matters most right now is resolving the assassination attempt.
01:23:57Please render judgment and punish Shen Yunking.
01:24:00The truth has not yet been established.
01:24:02How can you be sure she did this?
01:24:04As the person in charge of the Spring Festival Banquet, she let assassins into the palace and
01:24:09attacked the dowager empress?
01:24:11Her crime warrants death.
01:24:13Please order immediately her imprisonment and thorough interrogation.
01:24:17The Chancellor speaks rightly.
01:24:18Had my husband not been present today, the dowager empress might not have survived.
01:24:23Your Majesty, my safety matters little.
01:24:25But if Shen Yunking goes unpunished, should such an incident occur again, who will safeguard the
01:24:29palace?
01:24:30I implore Your Majesty to deal with Shen Yunking.
01:24:33How dare you, Mu Rong'an?
01:24:35You presume to force my hand?
01:24:38If I can produce evidence proving Shen Yunking's innocence, what punishment shall you face?
01:24:44Impossible.
01:24:49Impossible.
01:24:50Zhao Xun, I am speaking to you.
01:24:55If I have falsely accused Shen Yunking today, I am willing to suffer the same punishment as she?
01:25:02Very well.
01:25:03Guards, bring them in.
01:25:09Your Majesty is wise.
01:25:11By Your Majesty's command, this servant planted informants in advance and apprehended the assassin in time.
01:25:17Mercy, Your Majesty.
01:25:18The attack on the empress dowager was ordered by Shen Yunqiao, the two of them.
01:25:22I was truly forced into it.
01:25:24What?
01:25:25It's...
01:25:27It's over.
01:25:30Zhao Xun, do not think I am unaware you did this for your daughter, Zhao Waner.
01:25:35Since you wanted Shen Yunking dead, I will not let you live either.
01:25:38Guards, take him.
01:25:39Your Majesty, I have served Great Xia with devotion for decades.
01:25:43How can Your Majesty treat me like this?
01:25:45And all of you, believing one-sided claims and rushing to judge, harming the innocent.
01:25:50With such conduct, how dare you call yourselves officials?
01:25:53Your Majesty, we acknowledge our fault.
01:25:56Three months' salary shall be docked.
01:25:57Should this happen again, I will show no leniency.
01:26:00We thank Your Majesty for his mercy.
01:26:02As for you two...
01:26:04Mercy, Your Majesty.
01:26:05It was all Shen Yunqiao.
01:26:06It was her wretched idea.
01:26:08You're lying.
01:26:08Your Majesty, I was nearly jealous of my sister, Youngking.
01:26:11I never meant to harm the Empress Dowager.
01:26:14The assassination was Mu Rong'an's idea.
01:26:16Even him taking a blade for her was staged by himself.
01:26:19Wretched woman, how dare you betray me?
01:26:21Enough!
01:26:23Mu Rong'an and Shen Yunqiao, as masterminds, shall be executed immediately.
01:26:27The seamstress shall be held at court to await sentencing.
01:26:31Mercy, Your Majesty!
01:26:32Mercy, Your Majesty!
01:26:33Mercy!
01:26:35Wait!
01:26:44Your Majesty, I wish to ask you to spare Shen Yunqiao from death.
01:26:48Why is that?
01:26:49She tried to harm me time and again.
01:26:51If she were simply put to death, she'd be getting off easy.
01:26:55Shen Yunqiao, how dare you do this to me?
01:26:58I hate you!
01:26:58If not for you, I should be the one enjoying all of this!
01:27:02You're wrong.
01:27:03It wasn't I who made you this way.
01:27:05It was yourself.
01:27:06The fate you face now is entirely of your own making.
01:27:10Very well!
01:27:11Shen Yunqiao shall be made a lowly slave,
01:27:13vanished to Southern Prefecture,
01:27:15never to set foot in the capital again.
01:27:17No!
01:27:18I won't go!
01:27:19I refuse to go to Southern Prefecture!
01:27:20I want to be an Imperial Noble Lady!
01:27:22I want to be the distinguished woman in the world!
01:27:27Youngking!
01:27:29So what is Your Majesty's true name?
01:27:31Hong Yu!
01:27:33Hong Yu!
01:27:35Now that the guilty have been punished,
01:27:37His Majesty and her Ladyship have finally found their happy union!
01:27:41My Lady!
01:27:44From this day forward,
01:27:45I shall make you my Empress!
01:27:52My Lady!
01:28:06The Empress Investiture Ceremony now begins!
01:28:23Long live Your Majesty!
01:28:27Rise up!
01:28:31Shen Yunking!
01:28:32From this day on,
01:28:33You are my wife!
01:28:34I intend to abolish the Imperial Harem!
01:28:36The Inner Palace shall have but one mistress,
01:28:39and that is you,
01:28:39my Empress!
01:28:40Shen Yunking!
01:28:41And if you are existing!
