Transcription
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.
00:00:33Why?
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.
00:00:46The 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.
00:01:21Listen 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.
00:01:47Miss, it's your turn to throw the ball.
00:01:52Shen Yun-Kiao.
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.
00:02:05Fine, go ahead.
00:02:07To me! To me! To me! To me! To me! Over here! Over here! Miss Shen! Over here! Over here!
00:02:11To me!
00:02:12Get lost! All of you, get lost!
00:02:19In this life, the one who marries Mu-Rong An will be me.
00:02:29Master, look! The one who caught it is the Mu-Rong's second young master!
00:02:33It's him! It's Mu-Rong An, second son of Mu-Rong!
00:02:35The Mu-Rong's are distant kin to royalty. The eldest son, Mu-Rong He, just days ago, was appointed deputy
00:02:41minister of justice.
00:02:43If the Shen family could marry into the Mu-Rong's, we'd practically be royalty ourselves.
00:02:47Mu-Rong An.
00:02:49In this life, I finally changed my fate.
00:02:52In three years, Mu-Rong 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.
00:03:06Wonderful, wonderful!
00:03:08Chow-R is truly a daughter I raised myself.
00:03:10She brings honor to the Shen family.
00:03:12You flatter me, father.
00:03:13I only wish to do right by our family.
00:03:15Once I become Lady Mu-Rong, I shall watch my every word indeed and bring prosperity to our family.
00:03:20Sister, don't you agree?
00:03:23How fortunate for you, sister.
00:03:25I'm truly happy for you.
00:03:26Shen Yun-King, your good fortune has been stolen by me.
00:03:29In this lifetime, I will never let you overshadow me again.
00:03:35Chow-R, look! Young Master Mu-Rong can hardly take his eyes off you.
00:03:47Isn't that...
00:03:49The Emperor?
00:03:51Your Majesty, dress like this outside.
00:03:54If the Dowager Empress finds out...
00:03:56She nags me daily to pick a concert.
00:03:57I had no choice but to slip out for some peace.
00:03:59It's a good chance to see the life of common folk.
00:04:02Your Majesty has always been a devoted ruler, but dress like this.
00:04:06Shabby as these clothes are.
00:04:07They 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 alright?
00:04:21Watch it, you filthy beggar!
00:04:22Hurry! Master Shen's two daughters are tossing the ball today.
00:04:24We'll miss it if we're late. Choosing a husband? Come on, let's go have a look.
00:04:29In my past life, that beggar snatched my ball. After I fled that marriage, I suffered endlessly.
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 Mu-Rong residence,
00:04:48When 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.
00:05:05We already have one with power, so you'd better find one with wealth.
00:05:09Only then will you be worthy of being a daughter of Shen Zhao.
00:05:14Miss, it's your turn.
00:05:15Schemes and plots, gold and silver treasures, are all but passing clouds and drifting smoke.
00:05:21In this life, I only wish to find a good and true companion and live out my days in peace.
00:05:26Your Majesty! Miss Shen threw it to me!
00:05:30Get 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!
00:05:52Sister, what rotten luck you have! Of all people, you picked a beggar!
00:05:56Who knows which deity you've offended? Where does that leave father's reputation?
00:06:01Useless girl! With all those men below, you had to throw it to a beggar!
00:06:04Now everyone in Shang-Jing is laughing at us! Are you trying to humiliate me?
00:06:08My lord!
00:06:09At least our chow has done well and matched with the Murong's.
00:06:13Otherwise, the Shen family would truly be disgraced today.
00:06:16How would we ever show our faces again?
00:06:18What's done is done. Sister, don't be too upset.
00:06:21Though this beggar is lowborn, at least his face is passable.
00:06:24I just feel sorry for you, sister. Spoiled since childhood. Now marrying a beggar.
00:06:30Marriage is a woman's greatest path in life. You chose a beggar. From now on, you'll sleep under the sky.
00:06:36The Shens can't help you.
00:06:37Oh my, this is 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 Shen family again?
00:06:47Exactly! Let's see what the Shens do!
00:06:50Hey, where are you going? Stop her! Don't let her run off!
00:06:53My lord, I finally found you!
00:06:56My heavens! Why is the embroidered ball in your hands? Perhaps you should just toss it away.
00:07:01Outside the palace, we are ordinary commoners. We mustn't break the customs of the people. Besides, dressed as shabbily as
00:07:09I am, she certainly won't want to marry me.
00:07:24I...
00:07:24Sister, in such a rush to meet your perfect match? You threw the embroidered ball yourself. You chose the man
00:07:31yourself. Don't tell me you're having regrets.
00:07:33You wretched girl! Look at the beggar you drew in! If he becomes our son-in-law, you'd be trampling
00:07:38our entire family's honor beneath your feet!
00:07:40In my past life, I suffered at the Murong residence, reduced to a pawn for the Shens to court the
00:07:45powerful. Looking back now, I'd rather marry a beggar and live in peace.
00:07:50The rule of the ball toss is that whoever catches it is chosen, even if you refuse now.
00:07:55I am willing to marry him! I am willing to marry him!
00:08:05My name is Shen Yun-King. What's yours?
00:08:09I...
00:08:10My name is Qi Yu.
00:08:14Today, with all of you as witnesses, I, Shen Yun-King, am willing to marry Qi Yu as his wife.
00:08:24You truly want to marry me?
00:08:26Of course. You already caught my embroidered ball. Would you go back on the word?
00:08:31No, it's not that. It's just that I have nothing. If you marry me, you'll have no proper home, barely
00:08:38enough to eat. Would you still agree?
00:08:40We both have two hands and two feet. What we want, we can build for ourselves. If we work hard
00:08:45in the future and find honest work, making a living won't be hard.
00:08:48Palace people would resort to anything for the smallest gain. She's unlike anyone I've met. Someone so easily content.
00:08:55A filthy beggar? And she actually treats him like a treasure?
00:08:58Shen Yun-King, you'd better think this through. Marrying a beggar means ruining your own future.
00:09:03A future isn't built on status alone, but on character and virtue. Qi Yu may be dressed plainly, but he
00:09:09seems approachable, well-mannered, and may well make a fine match.
00:09:13The 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.
00:09:21That's right. If he refuses, not only would it break our customs, it would tarnish the Shen name.
00:09:28Since you've chosen to marry down, don't ever blame the Shen family for it. The Shen family's future glory will
00:09:34have nothing to do with you.
00:09:36I understand, father.
00:09:38All right, everyone, move along. Always crowding around for a spectacle. Honestly.
00:09:43The show's over. Time to go home.
00:09:45Young Master Murong! Young Master Murong, please wait!
00:09:49Young Master Murong, would you kindly come to the Shen residence to discuss the wedding?
00:09:56Let's go. Right this way, please.
00:09:59Sister, don't say I didn't warn you. Marrying a beggar for the rest of your life, you'll forever be beneath
00:10:05me.
00:10:05Perhaps you should worry about yourself first. Life at the Murong residence won't be as easy as you imagine.
00:10:19You-
00:10:20Make way! Make way!
00:10:37Oh heavens, are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?
00:10:41I'm fine. See? I'm perfectly all right.
00:10:43I'm so sorry. I'm truly sorry.
00:10:45It wasn't on purpose. Be careful next time.
00:10:47We'll do.
00:10:48To marry someone so gentle and kind-hearted, that is my good fortune in this life.
00:10:52In three days, come to the Shen residence for me.
00:10:55Back at the palace, mother would force me to choose a consort. So why not?
00:11:00Very well. I'll be there for sure.
00:11:06The second Miss Shen is wed today. 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.
00:11:27The 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?
00:11:35The second Miss Shen is marrying the Muurong residence's second young master,
00:11:39while the eldest Miss Shen is marrying a beggar. How could they be treated the same?
00:11:43If my sister truly marries a beggar, she'll toil for the rest of her life.
00:11:47I wonder if she'll adapt.
00:11:49The groom is here!
00:11:53Worthy of the Muurong's second young master, what a grand procession.
00:11:57The Muurong residence holds immense power. Once the second Miss Shen marries in,
00:12:01she'll live in endless luxury. The Shen Yun King marrying the beggar, that'll be quite the spectacle.
00:12:07Here he comes!
00:12:14Greetings, father and mother.
00:12:16Rise, rise, son-in-law.
00:12:18This bridal procession of yours is a rare spectacle in all of Shang Jing.
00:12:23That shower is so valued by you as an honor for our Shen family.
00:12:27Young Master Muurong has arrived, yet there's no sign of the other groom.
00:12:31If I were him, I'd bury myself underground and never show my face.
00:12:34Sister, the auspicious hour is nearly past. Your husband still hasn't come for you.
00:12:39Perhaps he doesn't intend to come at all.
00:12:42He's here! He's here! The groom is here!
00:12:48You finally came.
00:12:49What I promised you, I will fulfill.
00:12:56Sweet!
00:13:00I'm terribly sorry for arriving late.
00:13:02What on earth are you wearing? Before all these guests, you're making me lose face.
00:13:07Today is her wedding day after all. And this beggar shows up dressed like this to claim his bride.
00:13:12How can my sister not find this humiliating?
00:13:15Marriage is a lifelong matter. What matters is sincerity, not appearances. The one I, Shen Yun King, have chosen,
00:13:22will never be swayed by others' words. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?
00:13:26Don't be angry, Master. Once Yun King leaves, she'll have nothing to do with the Shen family.
00:13:31The auspicious hour has come. The bride may board the sedan.
00:13:38Minister Zhang has arrived!
00:13:43You're much!
00:13:44Shut your mouth if you want to live.
00:13:47What an honor to have Minister Zhang grace us with his presence. Pardon us.
00:13:51Heaven rewards the devoted. It truly does. Congratulations, Master Shen.
00:13:56Thank 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 husband's
00:14:13home.
00:14:13Well, today is certainly an eye-opener.
00:14:16Indeed, unlike my husband.
00:14:26My lady, let's go home.
00:14:29My 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, once I'm an imperial noble lady, you'll regret this.
00:14:53Shen 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. Home. The eldest Shen daughter is so remarkably virtuous, far better than all those noble ladies the Dowager
00:15:53Empress chose for me.
00:15:56Shen Yun King, I don't have much to offer right now.
00:16:01This jade pendant was given to me by my father 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?
00:16:27Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:27Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:38Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:40Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:41Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:42Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:42Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:43Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:44Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:45Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:45Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:16:47Shen Yun King, you're giving me something so precious.
00:17:22This bed is far too hard
00:17:39Now it's hot tea
00:17:41Shen Yun King, are you alright?
00:17:43Did you burn yourself?
00:17:44I'm fine, don't worry. Breakfast is ready.
00:17:46Eat while it's still warm.
00:17:48I need to step out for a bit.
00:17:49Where are you going?
00:17:50Today 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? Are you unwell?
00:18:21What happened to His Majesty? Is he ill?
00:18:24Your Majesty?
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. Don't worry.
00:18:33They are.
00:18:34The palace is complicated.
00:18:36Once it's settled, I'll tell Yun King who I am.
00:18:38Oh, they.
00:18:39They're here looking for Yuan Lu.
00:18:41Oh, right. My friends.
00:18:42They're here for me.
00:18:43I used to serve at the palace.
00:18:45We're all old friends.
00:18:47Oh.
00:18:48Shen Yun King.
00:18:49Let me help 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, what 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
00:19:19and send them to the Shen residence
00:19:20as Yun King's homecoming gifts.
00:19:23Yes, sire.
00:19:24Let's go.
00:19:25Hot buns! Come 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'd better not go back and disturb him.
00:19:35Father 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,
00:19:52I still have to face them.
00:19:54Let's go in.
00:19:56Father, your daughter is home!
00:19:58Father, your daughter is home!
00:20:02Father!
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,
00:20:31I might have taken you as a concubine.
00:20:33At least you wouldn't have fallen this low.
00:20:36Wretch!
00:20:37My husband doesn't know,
00:20:38but my sister has always enjoyed keeping you company of lowlifes.
00:20:42If you brought her to our Murong residence,
00:20:44she might not even feel at home.
00:20:46You needn't trouble yourself.
00:20:48I'm doing just fine.
00:20:49But you, dear sister, these days,
00:20:51I doubt you've even seen your own husband.
00:20:53You!
00:20:55Damn you, Murong Ahn!
00:20:57On our wedding night,
00:20:58he went to the pleasure houses,
00:20:59and everyone found out about it.
00:21:01He humiliated me completely.
00:21:04Tower!
00:21:10Mother!
00:21:12Greetings, father.
00:21:14Greetings, mother.
00:21:15You came back alone,
00:21:16and you have the nerve to show your face?
00:21:18It hasn't been long,
00:21:19and you've forgotten all the manners we taught you.
00:21:21A man as distinguished as young master Murong
00:21:24escorted Chowar home for the visit.
00:21:25Your husband, who knows what he's busy with,
00:21:27couldn'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,
00:21:42that 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
00:21:49is a blessing of eight lifetimes.
00:21:51Unlike certain people who chose a beggar for a husband.
00:21:53But let's not speak of it.
00:21:55The Shen family raised you all these years,
00:21:56and you plan to come back empty-handed?
00:21:58Indeed, sister.
00:21:59Don't tell me you're truly this destitute
00:22:01that 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.
00:22:18Ha ha!
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.
00:22:38She 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, congratulations.
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
00:23:05to deliver these gifts to you.
00:23:06Shopkeeper Lou,
00:23:08the 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,
00:23:24whose brother is Deputy Justice.
00:23:25The palace sent these out of regard for our Murong son-in-law.
00:23:28That's why those 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 Chow are truly married a fine husband.
00:23:42Such a grand homecoming and all these precious gifts.
00:23:45They truly bring honor to our Shen family.
00:23:47But I recall being told these gifts were for Shen 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,
00:24:06my husband sent homecoming gifts twice over.
00:24:08Looking at all this,
00:24:09don't you feel the least bit ashamed?
00:24:13Gifts need not be many.
00:24:14Sincerity is what matters.
00:24:15I see nothing wrong with it.
00:24:17Have you no thought for our family reputation
00:24:19or 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
00:24:27not only married a beggar,
00:24:28but now you bring back this worthless rubbish to disgust me.
00:24:31Don't bother coming back from now on.
00:24:33The Shen family has no room for such a disgraceful daughter.
00:24:42Fine.
00:24:43I'll leave then.
00:24:44Take care of yourself.
00:24:46I'll come visit another day.
00:24:49In my past life,
00:24:51because of that wretched beggar,
00:24:52I suffered endlessly.
00:24:54Why should Shen Yun King get to leave so easily?
00:24:57Father, look.
00:24:58She actually intends to leave without a word.
00:25:00How utterly improper.
00:25:02Indeed, Master.
00:25:03You mustn't let her go so easily,
00:25:04lest people start gossiping behind our backs,
00:25:07saying the Shen family has no discipline.
00:25:09Stop!
00:25:11You think you can come and go as you please?
00:25:14What do you take the Shen residence for?
00:25:17In your eyes,
00:25:18everything I do is wrong anyway.
00:25:20I might as well leave
00:25:21so I'm no longer an eyesore to certain people.
00:25:24You want to leave?
00:25:24Fine.
00:25:25Unless you no-tow your way around
00:25:27all of Vermillion Bird Street on your knees,
00:25:29telling everyone that you married a beggar
00:25:31and brought shame upon the Shen family.
00:25:35and that you willingly choose
00:25:37to 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,
00:26:02you 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.
00:26:10You...
00:26:12Your Majesty,
00:26:13the memorials have been piling up for days.
00:26:15If you delay any further,
00:26:16urgent matters may suffer.
00:26:17Please put state affairs first,
00:26:19Your Majesty.
00:26:20After reviewing them,
00:26:21you can still reach Shen residents in time.
00:26:24To the Imperial Study,
00:26:26Chao always thinks things through.
00:26:28Do as your sister says.
00:26:31Just because I married Chi Yu,
00:26:33you 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,
00:26:45who married a beggar and disgraced our family.
00:26:47What dignity?
00:26:49Only because Yun Kiao married into a wealthy family
00:26:51that you indulge her so.
00:26:53Insolent wretch!
00:26:54Have I been too lenient with you?
00:26:56These outrageous words,
00:26:57who taught you to say them?
00:27:00Am I wrong?
00:27:01In your heart,
00:27:03daughters are merely pawns
00:27:04to curry favor with the powerful.
00:27:06How dare you!
00:27:07Speaking to your father like that!
00:27:12The Dragon Jade Pendant!
00:27:18No!
00:27:19I 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,
00:27:50does that mean Chi Yu is unworthy?
00:27:52Hmph.
00:27:53Guarding a beggar's trinket as though it were precious.
00:27:56Come to think of it!
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, 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,
00:28:26and that is Chia Wei.
00:28:32All I ask in this life is to be with someone sincere.
00:28:36Even plain meals and simple living
00:28:38are 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,
00:29:01you 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!
00:29:17Someone, bring the burning coals from the kitchen
00:29:20and 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,
00:29:36Shao 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,
00:29:55the 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.
00:30:06Sire, where are you going?
00:30:07The Dowager Empress said.
00:30:21Our body, hair, and skin are gifts from our parents.
00:30:24If you wish to sever ties,
00:30:26you 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,
00:30:34anyone who steps on them would never survive.
00:30:36I won't do it.
00:30:38Oh?
00:30:39It 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.
00:30:56I'll walk.
00:31:20For the sake of a beggar,
00:31:22you'd actually go this far.
00:31:24You've truly lost your mind.
00:31:28A worthless Jade Pendant is enough
00:31:30for a pampered young lady
00:31:31to walk through hot coals.
00:31:33No wonder she'd marry a beggar.
00:31:36After all,
00:31:37a 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.
00:32:07To you,
00:32:12I will get that Jade Pendant back.
00:32:17Now,
00:32:19can 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.
00:32:45She really does treasure it.
00:32:48She 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,
00:33:19would 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
00:33:28being 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
00:33:43hiding in the gutter.
00:33:44It's like a rex
00:33:46watching me become the most exalted woman in this world.
00:33:55Master! Master!
00:33:56His Majesty is here!
00:33:58What did you say?
00:33:59His Majesty!
00:34:02His Majesty!
00:34:05His Majesty!
00:34:16Shen Yun King!
00:34:18Shen Yun King!
00:34:27To you!
00:34:29Your Majesty!
00:34:35Shen Yun King!
00:34:37Shen Yun King!
00:34:38I'm sorry I'm late!
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.
00:35:13Could 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!
00:35:20Look at the fine husband you chose!
00:35:22Being useless is one thing, but now to save face?
00:35:25He has the audacity to steal from the Imperial Palace.
00:35:27If the Emperor finds out, will you even survive?
00:35:31Incorrigible fool!
00:35:32You're courting death!
00:35:37What?
00:35:38What are you gonna do?
00:35:40Shen 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 just for some worthless jade pendant?
00:36:04I can't fathom what goes on in that head of hers.
00:36:06Utterly stupid.
00:36:08Shut your mouth!
00:36:08Who do you think you are to shriek and holler before me?
00:36:11So what if I berate her?
00:36:13She's the one who married a useless wretch like you.
00:36:15Compared to me, Shen Yun King, you're nothing but ants.
00:36:19Even if I wanted her dead today, she should kneel and thank me for it.
00:36:23Let's see how long you keep up this charade.
00:36:25Seize him!
00:36:29No one lays a hand on what's mine.
00:36:32Seize them!
00:36:33Yes, sir!
00:36:39How 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, you make an enemy of all the Morongs.
00:37:00Royal blood?
00:37:01So what?
00:37:01Anyone who touches my people will meet nothing but death.
00:37:06You filthy beggar!
00:37:07You're overplaying your hand!
00:37:09Before I lose my temper, let go now and I might spare your life!
00:37:13You've tormented Shen Yun King to such a wretched state.
00:37:17Shove their faces into the burning coals.
00:37:19No, father!
00:37:20Let me go!
00:37:21Scour!
00:37:22Father, do something!
00:37:23You dare touch me?
00:37:25When the Ministry of Justice arrives, they won't let you off.
00:37:28Wait!
00:37:29You said the Ministry of Justice?
00:37:33Scared now, aren't you?
00:37:34My brother is a court official.
00:37:36If 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!
00:37:52Let me go!
00:37:53You worthless wretch!
00:37:55Want to die?
00:37:55Don't drag the Shen family down!
00:37:57Stop!
00:38:05Brother, brother, save me!
00:38:08Get him!
00:38:23You curbed!
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!
00:38:48Your Majesty!
00:38:48This beggar?
00:38:49Impossible!
00:38:51Brother, don't let this filthy beggar fool you.
00:38:54He stole from the Imperial Palace.
00:38:56These 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, 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!
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!
00:39:29Outrageous!
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!
00:39:36Interrogate 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!
00:40:01His Majesty married outside wed to the eldest daughter of the Shen family.
00:40:05For that woman's sake, His Majesty even laughed out at me.
00:40:09What?
00:40:09You're saying the Emperor actually married some woman outside the palace?
00:40:16Attendance!
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'd never dare malign the royals.
00:40:37We beg Lord Murong's fair judgment.
00:40:39Yes, my lord, please look into this.
00:40:41You 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, your husband committed a grave crime.
00:40:48No one can save you today.
00:40:50I cannot let Chi-yu come to harm.
00:40:53Have mercy, my lord.
00:40:54My husband was nearly confused for a moment.
00:40:59Shen Yun-king.
00:41:02I'll take you to a physician now.
00:41:06Such audacity!
00:41:07You dare try to flee?
00:41:08Guards, stop them!
00:41:12Anyone who dares stand in the way will be killed on sight.
00:41:15Yes, my lord!
00:41:28You think leaving will be that easy?
00:41:41Shen Yun!
00:41:45Shen Yun-king.
00:41:46Shen Yun-king.
00:41:46Shen Yun-king.
00:41:49Chen Yunqiao, how can you be so vicious?
00:41:52Chiyu 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.
00:42:08You're asking for death.
00:42:12Chiyu, 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, dear 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 Chiyu go.
00:42:42Shen 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.
00:43:02The Dowager Empress arrived.
00:43:13Who dares harm my son?
00:43:16Greetings, Dowager Empress.
00:43:20He's truly the emperor?
00:43:27The physician!
00:43:29Fetch the physician, quickly!
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.
00:43:42If 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 is stripped of his post as deputy minister of justice, and imprisoned alongside Morongan.
00:45:01What dowager empress!
00:45:03I 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...
00:45:27As you wish, mother.
00:45:35Shen Yunqing.
00:45:37Hiyu, 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, then.
00:46:10I 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.
00:46:28I shall remember.
00:46:30She left the palace to pray and passed by the Shen estate.
00:46:33That's how she saved us.
00:46:34What 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.
00:47:07She 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,
00:47:15after three to five years of service,
00:47:17we'll leave the palace together and live an 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,
00:48:05I must trouble Steward Lin to look after her.
00:48:09This is the Bureau's steward,
00:48:11Steward 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.
00:48:49How dare you even ask?
00:48:50You took my duties,
00:48:51so now I scrub chamber pots.
00:48:53Some people,
00:48:54who knows what tricks they use to get into the Bureau.
00:48:56Since Steward Lin favors you so much,
00:48:58giving 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.
00:49:25Yes.
00:49:26Yes.
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 means.
00:50:07I disguise myself as a senior attendant.
00:50:10Precisely to observe Shen Yun-King as she truly is.
00:50:14If she were to learn my identity,
00:50:16it 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 Yun-King 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,
00:50:40you must punish her severely.
00:50:41Madam,
00:50:42it's not what they say.
00:50:43Enough!
00:50:47Hand over the jade pendant.
00:50:51The jade pendant is my own.
00:50:53I said hand it over.
00:51:01A dragon-emblazoned jade pendant.
00:51:04It 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,
00:51:16please 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.
00:51:25Halas 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,
00:51:37the jade pendant shall remain in my custody.
00:51:39If you are truly innocent,
00:51:41I will see that justice is done.
00:51:44Rise.
00:51:45Thank you, Madam.
00:51:48This is Madam Wang,
00:51:49the 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
00:51:58will be punished according to palace rules.
00:52:01Yes, 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.
00:52:26Let'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.
00:52:55Would you like to?
00:52:56No.
00:52:56Send 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,
00:53:02won'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,
00:53:12what 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,
00:53:25the jade pendant you gave me,
00:53:26what's the story behind it?
00:53:28Why does everyone say it belongs to His Majesty?
00:53:33Well...
00:53:34My father once earned the title of top scholar
00:53:37to inspire future scholars.
00:53:39His 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,
00:54:00I 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.
00:54:29Deliver 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.
00:54:40Morning 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,
00:54:49Granny 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?
00:55:03I...
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!
00:55:28Shen Yun King!
00:55:30Are you alright?
00:55:31This?
00:55:32Who did this?
00:55:33Why is Eunuch Yuan Lu 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 does Eunuch Yuan Lu show him such deference?
00:56:04Eunuch Yuan Lu, 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 Yao Chi.
00:56:24And 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, Eunuch Yuan.
00:56:45Yes, sire.
00:56:48Eunuch Yuan Lu.
00:56:54Edward Lin.
00:56:56Is there anything else, Eunuch Yuan Lu?
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,
00:57:14yet Madam Wang only made her kneel.
00:57:17Now that you mention it, you're right.
00:57:20Even the matter of the stolen jade pendant was hushed up.
00:57:25Tell me, if the Emperor found out someone stole his jade pendant,
00:57:31what 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,
00:57:49a maid seeks audience outside the study.
00:58:00You're welcome.
00:58:01You're welcome.
00:58:01You're welcome.
00:58:21Your daughter desses
00:58:22My face!
00:58:25You stupid fool!
00:58:26What did you put in that bowl?
00:58:28I got this recipe from a Taoist.
00:58:30He said that after consuming it,
00:58:32it would beautify the skin.
00:58:35I only meant well for you, Auntie Wong.
00:58:38I was simply foolish for a moment.
00:58:40An item of unknown origin?
00:58:41And you dared serve it to someone?
00:58:43What's going on inside that head of yours?
00:58:46Please forgive me.
00:58:47I won't do it again.
00:58:52Luckily, it was just an allergy and not life-threatening.
00:58:55But the rash on her face won't fade quickly.
00:58:57Guards!
00:58:58Drag 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.
00:59:17Perhaps I can ease the rash on your face.
00:59:19If 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!
00:59:44Even if I had the nerve of a lion, I wouldn't dare seduce His Majesty!
00:59:50Now I remember!
00:59:51Yes!
00:59:52Someone at the Bureau has that kind of nerve!
00:59:55Shen Yun King,
00:59:57if the noble consort thinks you're the one seducing His Majesty,
01:00:01let's see how arrogant you'll be then.
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.
01:00:17You do have some skill.
01:00:20Thank you for the kind words.
01:00:30Thank you.
01:00:32If it weren't for you today,
01:00:35you 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.
01:00:45Just 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.
01:00:57Shen 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,
01:01:27no wonder she can't behave herself.
01:01:29It's one thing for His Majesty to find a bride outside,
01:01:32but since when?
01:01:34Who the likes of you?
01:01:35You lowly wretches dare to harbor such impudent thoughts?
01:01:44When did Shen Yun King ever seduce His Majesty?
01:01:49Jingxian,
01:01:51have 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.
01:02:04Jingxian,
01:02:07Do 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,
01:02:25Miss 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 Yauchi,
01:02:35not 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
01:02:59dares to raise her voice before me?
01:03:02You!
01:03:03How dare you!
01:03:05Miss Zhao!
01:03:05The palace!
01:03:06Answer 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,
01:03:32you'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!
01:03:42I 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 gift.
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.
01:04:12Defying your masters is asking for death.
01:04:15You...
01:04:15Bring me my whip!
01:04:18As the steward of the Bureau of Palace Servants,
01:04:21you allowed a servant to seduce His Majesty.
01:04:24Leading others astray,
01:04:26your 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
01:04:57and 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.
01:05:17Ha ha ha ha!
01:05:20How touching.
01:05:21Since you so enjoy playing the martyr,
01:05:23I shall grant your wish.
01:05:25Enough, Zalwander!
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
01:05:34on behalf of the Dowager Empress.
01:05:36Stop!
01:05:41Your Majesty!
01:05:43Zalwander, do you know who it is
01:05:44you 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,
01:06:09dare to offend the Dowager Empress herself!
01:06:12Your Majesty, I didn't mean to do it!
01:06:14Please intercede with the Dowager Empress on my behalf!
01:06:17Your Majesty!
01:06:21I believe this matter is of great importance.
01:06:24It concerns the Dowager's dignity.
01:06:26Please judge this carefully.
01:06:29I...
01:06:37Exactly!
01:06:38You...
01:06:40Your Majesty!
01:06:41You still won't admit fault?
01:06:42I 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,
01:06:54and 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,
01:07:01how 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, that was you too!
01:07:14You Jingxiang, how dare you betray me!
01:07:16Enough!
01:07:19The 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, Dowager 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!
01:07:36I never made anything up!
01:07:39I never made anything up!
01:07:40So, you are the Shen family's eldest!
01:07:54Shen Yun King!
01:07:57Shen Yun King!
01:07:59The 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 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.
01:08:26The 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.
01:08:47If she can manage the Banquet well, it will not only prove her capability,
01:08:52but 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?
01:09:20My whip doesn't have eyes!
01:09:26Useless!
01:09:27Still think you're some young lady?
01:09:28In the Discipline office, nobody gets to slack off on my watch.
01:09:40Shen Yun-King, this is all your fault!
01:09:43Get in!
01:09:43Don't touch me!
01:09:44I'm the Prime Minister's daughter!
01:09:46You'd better show me some respect!
01:09:48The Prime Minister's daughter!
01:09:50In my past life, Murongan rose at the Spring Banquet by the Dowager Empress.
01:09:55If I can escape this wretched place and find a way to get Murongan to the Spring Banquet, I can
01:10:00turn 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?
01:10:11Why 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...
01:10:33Not bad.
01:10:34The banquet arrangements are clear and well organized.
01:10:38One can tell real thought when into this.
01:10:43Entrusting the banquet to you is quite a fine choice indeed.
01:10:47Your Majesty, something terrible!
01:10:49The Discipline Office is on fire!
01:10:51What?
01:10:54Shen Yun-King, come with me to the Discipline Office.
01:11:08Sir, what's the situation inside?
01:11:09The fire burned the whole rear yard. Nearly half the people didn't make it out.
01:11:14Could it be that Jalwana has already...
01:11:21I've learned my lesson. Please lift my punishment. This place, I truly cannot bear another day.
01:11:21Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Your Majesty.
01:11:24Good. You're alive. At least I can answer to your father.
01:11:28I've learned my lesson. Please lift my punishment. This 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 Yun-Kiao a reward. I survived this ordeal only because
01:11:46Shen Yun-Kiao risked her life to save me.
01:11:49I recall that Shen Yun-Kiao and Shen Yun-King are sisters. How do you think I should reward her?
01:11:55Yun-Kiao is indeed my sister, but the two of us have seldom been close. We share no deep bond.
01:12:00As for 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. Then let her
01:12:18leave the Discipline Office for now.
01:12:20Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
01:12:22Shawana, though I have lifted your punishment, I never said you were free to go. Next month, the marriage alliance
01:12:29with Liao shall fall to you.
01:12:33What? A diplomatic marriage?
01:12:35You refuse. Or would you remain in the Discipline Office?
01:12:38No. I obey, Your Majesty.
01:12:44Return to the palace.
01:12:45Your Majesty, may I have a word with my sister?
01:12:52Shen Yun-King, you've ruined our parents and the Murongs.
01:12:55You made me suffer endlessly through every torment. I will settle this score with you in time.
01:13:01It's only been a moment and you've already forgotten your pain. If you hadn't insisted on crossing me, how would
01:13:07you 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. What do you mean by that?
01:13:21Drop the axe! Weren't you with His Majesty?
01:13:23Shen Yun-King.
01:13:24Shen Yun-King, the Dowager Empress wants you gone. She has more orders for you.
01:13:34Shen Yun-King, let's see how long you can stay so smug.
01:13:37Brother, please just let me go out. I'm cooped up here every day. One of these days.
01:13:43I'll lose my mind from it. You dare complain?
01:13:45If you and Shen Yun-Kiao hadn't been so foolish, we wouldn't have provoked His Majesty and I wouldn't have
01:13:50lost my position.
01:13:52If you ask me, it's all that wretch Yun-Kiao's fault.
01:13:55Husband!
01:13:57How are you back?
01:13:58The Dowager Empress pardoned my punishment. I 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 Yun-King. Instead of blaming each other, why not think of a
01:14:10way to deal with her?
01:14:11Shen Yun-King? She's probably already a consort by now. How can we fight her?
01:14:15I saw her at that office. We spoke face to face. Shen Yun-King is just a lowly palace maid
01:14:20now.
01:14:21She's no threat at all.
01:14:23A palace maid? Did 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?
01:14:30I've already thought it through. The Spring Banquet is early next month.
01:14:34All the nobles and aristocrats will be invited to the palace to attend. This is our only chance.
01:14:40The Spring Banquet? Our Moorong family is on the guest list too. Then can I attend too?
01:14:46All the banquet guests are high-ranking nobles. We can't afford any mistakes.
01:14:51Oh, stop worrying. You've checked every detail several times already. Nothing will go wrong.
01:14:56I hope so.
01:15:00I hope so.
01:15:07Hm. Delicious.
01:15:08Have more if you like it.
01:15:09Plenty more in the palace. Only because our seats are so remote this time that no one patrols here. Otherwise,
01:15:15we could never meet so openly like this.
01:15:18Shen Yun-King.
01:15:22Once the banquet is over, I have something to tell you.
01:15:26All right. I'll be right here waiting.
01:15:35Husband, look!
01:15:39Shen Yun-King! She's actually with a guard!
01:15:47You're on duty today. Hurry 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 Yun-King, forgotten your brother-in-law?
01:16:09What? Barely 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. Honored 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 Yun-Kiao! Haven't you done enough to ruin me?
01:16:50As long as you suffer, I'm happy.
01:16:55You escaped that incident at the Shen residence only because you were lucky.
01:16:59But now, no one is here to protect you.
01:17:03Greetings, Your Majesty, the Dowager Empress.
01:17:14Greetings, Dowager Empress.
01:17:19Shen Yun-King, you've worked hard organizing the palace banquet.
01:17:27It is my duty. I don't find it hard at all.
01:17:30Dowager Empress!
01:17:32I have something to say.
01:17:33Speak.
01:17:34I wish to report Shen Yun-King for an affair with a guard.
01:17:37I saw it with my own eyes.
01:17:39Shen Yun-King 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.
01:18:10It was I who asked to meet him.
01:18:16Ultimately, 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.
01:18:38But Shen Yun-King organized the banquet with great devotion.
01:18:43Her merits offset her faults.
01:18:45Her punishment shall be waived.
01:18:51Shen Yun-King, you may go attend to your duties.
01:18:55Yes.
01:19:04She escaped punishment yet again.
01:19:06How is Shen Yun-King always so lucky?
01:19:08First, 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 Yun-King is 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.
01:19:26And I feel that I should tell the truth to Yun-King sooner.
01:19:29Go fetch Shen Yun-King 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! Protect 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 Yun-King.
01:20:16We're questioning at the court.
01:20:27Aye, Shen Yun-King, greet the Prime Minister.
01:20:29Prime Minister Zhao, she was in charge of the Banquet.
01:20:32The palace is heavily guarded.
01:20:34No one could get in easily.
01:20:36Shen Yun-King must have colluded with the assassin.
01:20:38The one who sent Wan-R away is also named Shen Yun-King.
01:20:41Hm.
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.
01:21:02What?
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.
01:21:33Ji Yu.
01:21:34Shen Yun-King, 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.
01:21:51This 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!
01:22:16Main Shen Yun-King had an illicit affair defiling palace order.
01:22:20She endangered the dowager.
01:22:21Both shall be executed immediately.
01:22:24Lord Chancellor, please withdraw this order!
01:22:29Chiyu.
01:22:30I'm sorry for dragging you into this.
01:22:33Shen Yun-King.
01:22:35Let'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!
01:22:51Long live!
01:22:51Long live!
01:22:55Shen Yun-King.
01:22:56How is this possible?
01:22:57Shen Yun-King, I'm sorry.
01:22:59I deceived you.
01:23:01Greetings, Your Majesty!
01:23:03Long live your Majesty!
01:23:05Shen Yun-King, I...
01:23:07Your Majesty!
01:23:07What is going on?
01:23:09How dare you all?
01:23:10Believing one side of the story and rushing to judgment,
01:23:12condemning an innocent 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 Yun-King 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.
01:23:43I 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, Yun-Kiao.
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 Yun-King.
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,
01:24:07she let assassins into the palace and attacked the Dowager Empress?
01:24:11Her crime warrants death.
01:24:12Please 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 Yun-King goes unpunished, should such an incident occur again,
01:24:28who will safeguard the palace?
01:24:30I implore Your Majesty to deal with Shen Yun-King.
01:24:32How dare you, Mu Rong'an?
01:24:35You presume to force my hand?
01:24:38If I can produce evidence proving Shen Yun-King'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 Yun-King 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 Yun-Kiao, 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 Wan-er.
01:25:34Since you wanted Shen Yun-King dead, I will not let you live either.
01:25:38Guards, take him!
01:25:39Your Majesty, I have served Great Xie 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 Yun-Kiao!
01:26:06It was her wretched idea!
01:26:08You're lying!
01:26:08Your Majesty!
01:26:09I was merely jealous of my sister, Yun-King.
01:26:11I never meant to harm the Empress Dowager.
01:26:14The assassination was Murong-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!
01:26:23Murong-An and Shen Yun-Kiao, 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!
01:26:35Mercy!
01:26:36Wait!
01:26:44Your Majesty, I wish to ask you to spare Shen Yun-Kiao 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 Yun-King!
01:26:56How dare you do this to me!
01:26:57I 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 Yun-Kiao shall be made a lowly slave.
01:27:13Vanish to Southern Prefecture, never 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!
01:27:27Young-King!
01:27:29So what is Your Majesty's true name?
01:27:32Hong-Yu!
01:27:34Hong-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!
01:27:43From this day forward, I shall make you my Empress!
01:28:06The Empress Investiture Ceremony now begins!
01:28:24Long live, Your Majesty!
01:28:27Rise!
01:28:31Shane Yun-King!
01:28:32From this day on, you 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, my Empress, Shane Yun-King!
01:29:13Abonnez-vous !
