00:00:00Lady Shen of the Murong residence, virtuous and prudent by nature, diligent and gentle,
00:00:05is hereby bestowed the title of First 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!
00:01:32Shen Yun King, die!
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 King insisted I throw first, deferring again and again.
00:02:01But now, it seems Shen Yun King 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.
00:02:36The Murongs are distant kin to royalty. The eldest son, Murong He, just days ago, was
00:02:41appointed deputy minister of justice. If the Shen family could marry into the Murongs,
00:02:45we'd practically be royalty ourselves. Murong An. In this life, I finally changed my fate.
00:02:52In three years, Murong An will rise in rank and title, and I 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. Wonderful, wonderful! Chowar 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. Shen Yun King, your good fortune has been stolen
00:03:29by me. In this lifetime, I will never let you overshadow me again. Chowar, look! Young Master Murong
00:03:37can hardly take his eyes off you. Isn't that... the Emperor? Your Majesty, dress like this outside.
00:03:53If the Dowager Empress finds out. She nags me daily to pick a concert. I had no choice but to
00:03:58slip out for
00:03:59some peace. It's a good chance to see the life of common folk. Your Majesty has always been a devoted
00:04:03ruler, but dress like this. Shabby as these clothes are. They help me blend in unnoticed. Would you rather
00:04:10I stroll through the streets in my dragon robe? Your Majesty, are you alright? Watch it, you filthy beggar! Hurry!
00:04:22Master Shen's two daughters are tossing the ball today. We'll miss it if we're late. Choosing a husband?
00:04:27Come on, let's go have a look. In my past life, that beggar snatched my ball. After I fled that
00:04:32marriage,
00:04:33I suffered endlessly. How fitting. This time, I'll make you taste the bitterness of being cast aside by
00:04:39your own kin. Go now. Do as I told you. Understood secondness. What are they up to? Now that our
00:04:46Shen family
00:04:46has secured ties with the Murong residence, when Shen Yunqing chooses her husband shortly,
00:04:51she'd better not disappoint. Mother, what kind of thing is that to say? Sister has always been lucky.
00:04:57How could you possibly embarrass father? If you ask me, sister will surely find the finest husband of all.
00:05:02Shen Yunqing, 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, are all but passing clouds and
00:05:19drifting smoke. In this life, I only wish to find a good and true companion and live out my days
00:05:25in 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 Yunqing's embroidered ball.
00:05:48Oh my! A perfectly good embroidered ball! Snatched away by a beggar! Sister, what rotten luck you have!
00:05:54Of all people, you picked a beggar! Who knows which deity you've offended? Where does that leave father's
00:05:59reputation? Useless girl! With all those men below, you had to throw it to a beggar!
00:06:04Now everyone in Shangjing is laughing at us! Are you trying to humiliate me? My lord!
00:06:09At least our chow has done well and matched with the Murongs. Otherwise, the Shen family would truly be
00:06:15disgraced today. How would we ever show our faces again? What's done is done. Sister, don't be too upset.
00:06:21Though this beggar is low-born, at least his face is passable. I just feel sorry for 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! Don't let
00:06:52her run off! My lord, I finally found you! My heavens! Why is the embroidered ball in your hands?
00:07:00Perhaps you should just toss it away! Outside the palace, we are ordinary commoners.
00:07:05We mustn't break the customs of the people. Besides, dressed as shabbily as I am,
00:07:10she certainly won't want to marry me. I... Sister, in such a rush to meet your perfect match?
00:07:28You threw the embroidered ball yourself! You chose the man yourself! 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,
00:07:37you'd be trampling our entire family's honor beneath your feet! In my past life,
00:07:41I suffered at the Murong residence, reduced to a pawn for the Shens to court the powerful.
00:07:47Looking back now, I'd rather marry a beggar and live in peace. The rule of the ball toss is that
00:07:52whoever catches it is chosen, even if you refuse now! I am willing to marry him! I am willing to
00:07:58marry him!
00:08:06My name is Shen Yun-King. What's yours? I... My 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? Of course! You already caught my embroidered ball! Would
00:08:30you go back on the 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
00:08:42feet! 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. Qi 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
00:10:44sorry. 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
00:11:02be there for sure.
00:11:06The second Miss Shen is wed today. Her dowry includes gold inlaid gemstones, phoenix hairpins,
00:11:14a pair, one EC pearl flower crown, a pair of jade bracelets, 20 bolts of shoe brocade,
00:11:21and 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. Both
00:11:32daughters of the Shen family, what 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!
00:11:53Worthy 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
00:12:03Yun-Yung King, marrying the beggar. That'll be quite the spectacle. Here we come!
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 Shang-Jing. That shower is so valued by you as an honor for
00:12:26our Shen 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!
00:12:48The groom 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 like
00:13:11this to claim his bride. How can my sister not find this humiliating? Marriage is a lifelong matter. What
00:13:17matters is sincerity, not appearances. The one eye Shen Yun-King have chosen will never be swayed by
00:13:23others' words. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough? Don't be angry, master. Once Yun-King leaves,
00:13:28she'll have nothing to do with the Shen family. The auspicious hour has come. The bride may board the
00:13:34sedans. Minister Zhang has arrived. You're merged! 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.
00:14:31My lady, let's go home.
00:14:48Shen Yun-King, once I'm an imperial noble lady, you'll regret this.
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. Is this even livable? I was afraid you'd blow your cover.
00:15:34I'm sorry you have to put up with this, staying in such a dump. How about we?
00:15:38Give it a good cleaning. It's actually quite spacious. It'll be cozy once we settle in. From now on, this
00:15:44is our home.
00:15:44Home. Home. Our home. The eldest Shen daughter is so remarkably virtuous, far better than all those noble ladies the
00:15:52Dowager Empress chose for me.
00:15:56Shen Yun-King, I don't have much to offer right now. This jade pendant was given to me by my
00:16:03father before he passed. Now I'm giving it to you.
00:16:08Shen Yun-King, you're giving me something so precious?
00:16:15Yes, rest assured. I'll keep it safe.
00:16:19His Majesty gave away his personal jade pendant. Does he truly love Shen Yun-King?
00:16:24Shen Yun-King, you're giving...
00:16:30Shen Yun-King,Å¡Ã Tatsy.
00:16:31Shen Yun-King, high-pamé father.
00:16:42Shen Yun-King, high-pamé father.
00:16:47Shen Yun- higher-pamé father.
00:16:50Shen Yun- airborne.
00:17:22This bed is far too hard.
00:17:39Now it's hot.
00:17:41Shen Yun King, are you alright? Did you burn yourself?
00:17:44I'm fine, don't worry. Breakfast is ready. Eat while it's still warm. I need to step out for a bit.
00:17:49Where are you going?
00:17:50Today is the day a new bride visits your family. The charms I'm making for my parents need a few
00:17:55more stitches. I need to buy some thread before we head back.
00:17:58Then I'll go with you.
00:18:00Alright.
00:18:06Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:18:09Your Majesty.
00:18:14Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:18:17What's wrong? Are you unwell?
00:18:21What happened to His Majesty? Is he ill?
00:18:24Your Maj...
00:18:24Oh, there's plenty of dirt around here. No need for such a beau, friend.
00:18:28Yuan Lu.
00:18:28What are you doing?
00:18:30Are you alright?
00:18:32I'm fine. Don't worry.
00:18:33They are.
00:18:34The palace is complicated. Once it's settled, I'll tell Yun King who I am.
00:18:38Oh, they... They're here looking for Yuan Lu.
00:18:41Oh, right, my friends. They're here for me.
00:18:43I used to serve at the palace. We're all old friends.
00:18:47Oh.
00:18:48Shen Yun King.
00:18:48Let me help Yuan Lu with the guests. Can you buy the thread yourself?
00:18:52Alright.
00:18:58Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:19:00Tell me. What happened?
00:19:02Word came from the palace.
00:19:03The Dowager Empress worried over you, overtaxed herself, and suddenly fainted.
00:19:07What? Yuan Lu, stay and protect young 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, as Yun King's homecoming gifts.
00:19:23Yes, sire. Let's go.
00:19:25Hot buns! Come and get them!
00:19:27Come have a look! Good deals on fine goods! Come have a look!
00:19:31Jae Yu is home entertaining guests. I'd better not go back and disturb him.
00:19:36Father never approved of Ji Yu's status.
00:19:38I'd only be humiliated if I went back. I'll just go on my own.
00:19:49They're family, after all. No matter how painful, I still have to face them. Let's go in.
00:19:56Father, your daughter is home! Father, your daughter is home!
00:20:02Father.
00:20:05Why did you come back alone, sister?
00:20:11Today is the bridal homecoming. Why did you come back alone, sister? Could it be?
00:20:16You're afraid your beggar husband would embarrass you, so 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. You must have suffered quite a bit. You'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! My husband doesn't know, but my sister has always enjoyed keeping you company of lowlifes.
00:20:42If you brought her to our Murong residence, she might not even feel at home.
00:20:46You needn't trouble yourself. I'm doing just fine.
00:20:49But you, dear sister, these days, I doubt you've even seen your own husband.
00:20:54You!
00:20:55Damn you, Murong Ahn. On 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. That filthy beggar is probably out on the streets begging right now.
00:21:34Father-in-law, your son-in-law has prepared some gifts. Bring them in.
00:21:40For our son-in-law to visit in person, that alone is an honor for me. And to bring all
00:21:45these gifts, too. Carry them inside at once.
00:21:48My daughter marrying our son-in-law is a blessing of eight lifetimes. Unlike certain people who chose a beggar
00:21:53for a husband.
00:21:54But let's not speak of it. The Shen family raised you all these years, and you plan to come back
00:21:57empty-handed?
00:21:58Indeed, sister. Don'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. I pray that father and mother will have peace and safety.
00:22:21Get out! What a disgraceful thing!
00:22:24Sister, what on earth did you embroider? A trinket sewn from scrap cloth, and you dare show it off to
00:22:29embarrass yourself?
00:22:31Truly worthy of a beggar's wife, even the gifts you present are a perfect match.
00:22:37Never mind, never mind. She married a beggar, after all. What could you expect her to bring?
00:22:42Master! Master! The palace has sent gifts! They say they're homecoming gifts from the eldest miss.
00:22:47What?
00:22:57Master Shen, congratulations! Your 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 Liu, the palace truly sent you to deliver these? The chief eunuch himself came to arrange it all.
00:23:12How could it be false? They said it was for the Shen family's eldest daughter.
00:23:18You must be mistaken. All of Shang Jing knows that Shen Yunqing married a beggar.
00:23:22Unlike our Murong son-in-law, whose brother is Deputy Justice, the palace sent these out of regard for our
00:23:27Murong son-in-law.
00:23:28That's why those currying favor with us are countless. To think even the palace took notice.
00:23:35Those currying favor with us are countless. Father-in-law, please accept these.
00:23:40Our Chow are truly married a fine husband. Such 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. Sorry for the trouble.
00:23:53They're for the Shen family. No mistake there. I must have been mistaken.
00:23:57They're for second miss. Then 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. Sincerity is what matters. I see nothing wrong with it.
00:24:17Have you no thought for our family reputation or father's dignity?
00:24:21I 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, but now you bring back this worthless rubbish
00:24:31to 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. I'll leave then.
00:24:44Take care of yourself. I'll come visit another day.
00:24:50In 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. She actually intends to leave without a word.
00:25:00How utterly improper.
00:25:02Indeed, Master. You mustn't let her go so easily.
00:25:04Lest people start gossiping behind our backs, saying 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? Fine.
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,
00:25:35and that you willingly choose to sever all ties with the Shen family.
00:25:44Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:25:46Greetings, Your Majesty.
00:25:49Mother.
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?
00:26:06You may decide, Mother, since you are well.
00:26:08I'll take my lead.
00:26:10You...
00:26:12Your Majesty, the memorials have been piling up for days.
00:26:15If you delay any further, urgent matters may suffer.
00:26:17Please 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, 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, 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?
00:26:48Only because Yun-Kyao 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, speaking 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?
00:27:31Chi Yu 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.
00:27:45Chi 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?
00:27:52Hmm.
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!
00:28:08You can have it back, but 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,
00:28:49I, 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, Shao Wanner.
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.
00:29:48At the Shen's.
00:29:49What happened there?
00:29:51What is it?
00:29:52Speak!
00:29:53During her homecoming visit, the Shens 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.
00:30:06Sire, where are you going?
00:30:07The Dowager Empress said.
00:30:21Our body, hair, and skin are gifts from our parents.
00:30:25If 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!
00:30:33The coals are burning so fiercely, anyone 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.
00:30:52I won't let his gift be desecrated.
00:30:55Fine.
00:30:57I'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.
00:31:39No 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.
00:31:57I will get that Jade Pendant back.
00:32:11She actually made it through.
00:32:17Now.
00:32:20Can you return the Jade Pendant to me?
00:32:22You want it?
00:32:23Then you'll have to get it yourself.
00:32:25If you dare take it.
00:32:28This Jade Pendant is yours.
00:32:46He really does treasure it.
00:33:08Found 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!
00:33:23What are you doing glaring at me like that?
00:33:25I warned you long ago.
00:33:27Marrying a beggar leads to one fate being trampled underfoot.
00:33:30All you're scheming to torment me.
00:33:33Will 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.
00:33:44It looks like a rex watching me become the most exalted woman in this world.
00:33:55Master!
00:33:56Master!
00:33:56His Majesty is here!
00:33:58What did you say?
00:33:59His Majesty!
00:34:00Master!
00:34:01Master!
00:34:16Chen Yunqing!
00:34:28Qiyu
00:34:29Your majesty
00:34:35Shen Yun King
00:34:36Shen Yun King
00:34:38I'm sorry I'm late
00:34:40Qiyu
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?
00:35:06This 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 at 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
00:35:28If the emperor finds out
00:35:29Will you even survive?
00:35:31Incorrigible 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?
00:35:55It 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
00:36:01Just for some worthless jade pendant?
00:36:04I can't fathom what goes on in that head of hers
00:36:06Utterly 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
00:36:17You're nothing but ants
00:36:19Even if I wanted her dead today
00:36:21She 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
00:36:31On what's mine
00:36:32Seize them
00:36:33Yes sir
00:36:39How dare you?
00:36:40I am the lady of the Morong residence
00:36:44Husband save me
00:36:46You filthy beggar
00:36:48You dare lay hands on my wife?
00:36:49You must have a death wish
00:36:52Wretched fool
00:36:53Young master Morong is of royal blood
00:36:55If you dare touch him
00:36:57You make an enemy of all the Morongs
00:37:00Royal blood?
00:37:01So what?
00:37:01Anyone who touches my people
00:37:03Will meet nothing but death
00:37:06You filthy beggar!
00:37:07You're overplaying your hand!
00:37:09Before I lose my temper
00:37:10Let go now
00:37:11And I might spare your life
00:37:13You've tormented Shen Yun King
00:37:14To such a wretched state
00:37:17Shove their faces into the burning coals
00:37:19No!
00:37:20Father!
00:37:20Let me go!
00:37:21Scour!
00:37:22Father!
00:37:22Do something!
00:37:23You dare touch me?
00:37:25When the Ministry of Justice arrives
00:37:27They 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
00:37:36If you harm me
00:37:37You're as good as dead
00:37:41I'd like to see
00:37:43Exactly who in the Ministry of Justice
00:37:45Would indulge scum like you
00:37:47To be so brazen
00:37:48Press him down
00:37:51Shower!
00:37:51Let me go!
00:37:52Let me go!
00:37:53You worthless wretch!
00:37:55Want to die?
00:37:55Don't drag the Shen fairly down!
00:37:58Stop!
00:38:05Brother!
00:38:06Brother!
00:38:06Save 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
00:38:31You're
00:38:36Quite the authority
00:38:37You wield
00:38:38Minister of Justice
00:38:41Your majesty
00:38:42Your majesty
00:38:47Your majesty
00:38:48This beggar
00:38:49Impossible
00:38:51Brother
00:38:52Don'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
00:38:59Mistakes are natural
00:39:00But he really is just a filthy beggar
00:39:02Not the Emperor
00:39:04Could I truly have been mistaken?
00:39:06I once caught a glimpse from afar
00:39:08Of 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
00:39:21My lord
00:39:21You 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
00:39:28Outrageous
00:39:29In the Imperial Capital such insolence won't be tolerated
00:39:33Guards
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?
00:39:42I 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
00:39:51Regretting 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
00:39:59You 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 lashed out at me
00:40:08What?
00:40:09You're saying the Emperor actually married some woman outside the palace?
00:40:16Attendance
00:40:18Prepare my palanquin
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
00:40:26The Shen family has severed all ties with Shen Yun King
00:40:29Whatever he said has nothing to do with us
00:40:32My lord
00:40:32The Shen family has always abided by the rules
00:40:35We'd never dare malign the royals
00:40:37We beg Lord Murong's fair judgment
00:40:39Yes my lord
00:40:40Please look into this
00:40:41You filthy beggar
00:40:42Offending royalty is a capital crime
00:40:43My lord you must not let him go
00:40:45Shen Yun King
00:40:46Your husband committed a grave crime
00:40:48No one can save you today
00:40:49I cannot let Qi Yu come to harm
00:40:53Have mercy my lord
00:40:54My husband was merely confused for a moment
00:40:59Shen Yun King
00:41:02I'll take you to a physician now
00:41:06Such audacity
00:41:07You dare try to flee?
00:41:08Guards!
00:41:09Stop 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?
00:41:34Shen Yun!
00:41:35Shen Yun!
00:41:49Shen Yunqiao, how can you be so vicious?
00:41:52Chi Yu has never wronged you.
00:41:53How 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.
00:42:12Chi 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 to assist me.
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.
00:42:31What lies between us should not involve the innocent.
00:42:34Do whatever you want to me.
00:42:37I beg you, let Chi Yu go.
00:42:43Shen Yunqiao, how 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.
00:42:54Die.
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!
00:44:02Impossible!
00:44:03How can he be the Emperor?
00:44:05I 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.
00:44:39Hear 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
00:44:59Morong'an.
00:45:01World 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.
00:45:36Shen Yunqing.
00:45:37Hiyu, 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?
00:45:47The 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.
00:46:06You...
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...
00:46:21You must not reveal your identity to Shen Yunqing.
00:46:24Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to punish her.
00:46:28I 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.
00:47:06I got a guard post from her.
00:47:08She placed you at the Bureau of Servants.
00:47:10From now on, we'll both serve in the palace.
00:47:13Good.
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.
00:47:20Alright.
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.
00:47:46Alright.
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.
00:48:12Go 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.
00:48:48How 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.
00:49:13Only His Majesty made 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.
00:49:42I 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.
00:50:14If she were to learn my identity,
00:50:15it would only complicate matters.
00:50:19Palace rules are strict.
00:50:20I was only gone for a brief moment
00:50:22and 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.
00:50:33And fearing exposure,
00:50:34she 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!
00:50:48Hand 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.
00:51:35Until 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.
00:51:45Thank you, Madam.
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.
00:52:01Yes, 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.
00:52:20So 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?
00:53:04I'll take my leave at once.
00:53:07All done.
00:53:08Well done, Shen Yun King.
00:53:10Shen Yun King.
00:53:12Ji Yu, what are you doing here?
00:53:15Stuart Lin.
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, what's the story behind it?
00:53:28Why does everyone say it belongs to His Majesty?
00:53:33Well...
00:53:34My father once earned the title of Top Scholar.
00:53:37To inspire future scholars, His Majesty bestowed the pendant upon him.
00:53:42That'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.
00:54:30Deliver her medicine at dawn tomorrow.
00:54:31She 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, His 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 Steward Lin has your back.
00:55:19You can do as you please.
00:55:20Move.
00:55:25Shen Yun-King!
00:55:29Shen Yun-King!
00:55:29Shen Yun-King!
00:55:30Are you alright?
00:55:31This?
00:55:32Who did this?
00:55:34Why is Eunuch Yuan-Loo 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 Eunuch Yuan-Loo showing him such deference?
00:56:04Eunuch Yuan-Loo, what on earth is going on?
00:56:09You've all misunderstood.
00:56:11This young god 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 Yauchi.
00:56:25And caused this young officer concern.
00:56:27Since you know you were wrong, off with you now.
00:56:30Thank you, Madam.
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, young king.
00:56:46Yes, sire.
00:56:48Eunuch Yuan-Loo.
00:56:54Edward Lin.
00:56:56Is there anything else, Eunuch Yuan-Loo?
00:56:59No, no, nothing.
00:57:04As for you...
00:57:08I wonder who's backing her and what their status really is.
00:57:12Consorting 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.
00:57:51To the Lord, I'm doing well, and let me see.
00:57:54You're going to be with me.
00:57:57You're going to wait for them.
00:58:11There soon you're gonna be глаз 해야 washable.
00:58:14I'm going to be back.
00:58:17I'm going to be back.
00:58:18I want to take you, heard of each other.
00:58:21But if this room would ever be on me.
00:58:22my my face you stupid fool what did you put in that bowl I I got this recipe
00:58:29from 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 an item
00:58:40of unknown origin and you dared serve it to someone what's going on inside that
00:58:44head of yours please 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
00:58:56face won't fade quickly guards 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 you I've studied medical texts and can
00:59:16prepare remedies perhaps I can ease the rash on your face

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 yun kiao a reward
01:11:44i survived this ordeal only because shen yun kiao risked her life to save him
01:11:49i recall that shen yun kiao and shen yun king are sisters how do you think i should reward her
01:11:54yun kiao is indeed my sister but the two of us have seldom been close we share no deep bond
01:11:59as
01:12:00for yun kiao's affairs it is not my place to interfere i leave it entirely to your majesty
01:12:04your majesty i believe that shen yun kiao is kind-hearted perhaps there has been some misunderstanding
01:12:11very well she 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 thank you for your grace your majesty
01:12:22jaw wanner though i have lifted your punishment i never said you were free to go next month the
01:12:29marriage alliance with liao shall fall to you what a diplomatic marriage you refuse or would you remain

01:14:14we fight
01:14:15her i saw her at that office we spoke face to face shen yun king is just a lowly palace
01:14:20maid now
01:14:21she's no threat at all a palace maid did his majesty marry her on a whim if his majesty truly
01:14:28cared for
01:14:29her how could he bear to make her a servant i've already thought it through the spring banquet is
01:14:33early next month all the nobles and aristocrats will be invited to the palace to attend this is our only
01:14:39chance the spring banquet our morang family is on the guest list too then can i attend to
01:14:46all the banquet guests are high-ranking nobles we can't afford any mistakes oh stop worrying you've
01:14:53checked every detail several times already nothing will go wrong i hope so
01:15:08have more if you like it plenty more in the palace only because our seats are so remote this time
01:15:13that

01:16:59but now no one is here to protect you greetings your majesty the dowager empress
01:17:14greetings dowager empress
01:17:19shen yun king you've worked hard organizing the palace banquet

01:17:34wish to
01:17:35report shen yun king for an affair with a guard i saw it with my own eyes shen yun king
01:17:39and the guard
01:17:40were all over each other when caught she tried to conceal it if she dares to be so bold in
01:17:44broad daylight
01:17:45imagine what she does behind closed doors i did have contact with the guard but it was not the
01:17:53sordid affair they claim before we entered the palace we had already shared our feelings in the
01:17:59palace we rarely met if you had a clear conscience why rush to leave the moment you saw us such
01:18:04an
01:18:05affair means death you may execute me but i beg you to show mercy and spare the young guard's life
01:18:10it was
01:18:11i who asked to meet him ultimately neither of you is innocent i implore the dowager empress to seize
01:18:23the guard and execute it alongside her please 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 yun king organized the banquet with great devotion her merits offset her faults no her punishment
01:18:46shall be waived
01:18:51shen yun king you may go attend to your duties yes
