01:49管理が必要ある
01:52the rise. I know, I know.
01:54I'll stop by the herb plot, too.
01:56Thank you. Don't be long.
01:58I won't.
02:22Ah, is that all you've got?
02:25Please, an evening to all, I'm asking.
02:31I'm running a business here, sir,
02:33not a charity.
02:34Wasn't that Hyrene, one of the famous three
02:36princesses of the Verdigris house?
02:38No, Gawken, before paying!
02:49It's taking too long to heal.
02:51Well, recipe's not right.
02:53Oh, Mau Mau!
02:55Huh?
02:56Hey, guiding.
02:57Have you been wounding yourself again?
02:59Well, yeah. I needed something to experiment on.
03:02You're so thin. Are you eating?
03:05Feels to me like you're well-nourished enough
03:07for the both of us.
03:08Mau Mau!
03:08If I find you playing around with the combustibles
03:11near the good mahogany again, I'll box your ears.
03:16Or maybe we find another way
03:18to have you pay us back.
03:20Your medicines, they're on the counter, Granny!
03:22Say hello to your old man for me.
03:24Or not.
03:25What's that Mau Mau's voice I just heard?
03:27So is she here, or...?
03:29She just took off.
03:31Greedy old hag.
03:32Always trying to turn me into a lousy courtesan.
03:50You have got to be kidding me.
03:52Ah!
03:56Ah, damn.
03:58Dad is gonna be pretty worried when I don't come back.
04:18It's a healthy baby boy.
04:20This is a proud day indeed, Lady Li Hua.
04:31Thankfully, the prince was born without issue.
04:33I see.
04:34Wonderful.
04:48What I wouldn't give for some good meat skewers right now.
04:53Hopefully dad's still eating properly without me around.
04:57I'm not sure if I was sold off or ransomed,
04:59but either way the result was the same.
05:01I've been stuck here three months now.
05:04Turns out palaces and brothels aren't that different.
05:07Given the choice, I'd take Verdigris' house over the rear palace any day.
05:13Well, lingering on it isn't gonna do any good.
05:16Life.
05:16One minute you're an apothecary, the next a servant.
05:21The rear palace is a garden of women cultivated to grow the emperor's seed.
05:25Men are strictly forbidden from entering.
05:28The only people permitted access to this inner sanctum are the emperor, his kin, and, of course, eunuchs.
05:35Males who've lost a pretty important part of their anatomy and trusted to keep the peace.
05:39Overall, there are 2,000 concubines and servants, and 1,000 eunuchs set to protect them.
05:45Sadly, unlike the high, mid, or low-ranking concubines,
05:49we serving girls are considered expendable and can lose our lives for the most trivial of infractions.
05:55We're valued less than even the low-ranking shut-ins.
05:58But, at least they deign to pay us, I suppose.
06:02Mal-Mal, you've gotta help me!
06:04Do you know what room this is supposed to be?
06:07Oh.
06:08That'd be the token for Wisteria 9.
06:10Over there.
06:11Right!
06:12Thank you!
06:14Illiteracy's not all that uncommon among the servants.
06:17In order to work in the rear palace, they're taught the bare essentials of etiquette.
06:22Reading and writing's a whole other story.
06:24The raise I'd get for being literate would just line the purses of my kidnappers.
06:29So I'm happy to keep that skill in my own back pocket.
06:32The job isn't without prospects.
06:34You could well become a concubine.
06:36If you have...
06:39Assets.
06:42Freckles.
06:42Flat chest.
06:44Unfortunately, there's not a great demand for the skin and bones look.
06:53Standing out around here can be its own brand of dangerous.
06:56Better to keep my head down.
06:59If I work hard, I'll be home free in two years.
07:04I really need a drink.
07:09Hey, did you hear?
07:10Huh?
07:11They say a beautiful new eunuch's been posted to the central courtyard.
07:15It's practically all anyone in the rear palace has been talking about.
07:18Well, I mean, nothing wrong with a little looky look to check the goods.
07:23Am I right, Mau Mau?
07:24A handsome eunuch, huh?
07:32I need a drink.
07:34I don't know.
07:35Oh, Lord.
07:36Oh, Lord.
07:54The stress is taking a toll on her health.
07:57Yes.
07:58Huh?
08:04Poor Shaolin.
08:06My sincerest apologies.
08:08It won't be long now.
08:09The physician is just saying to the young prince.
08:13I see.
08:17They're only three months and six months old, right?
08:19Yes.
08:20Princess Lingle and the prince aren't even out of swaddling clothes yet.
08:24You don't think this pair stuff is real, do you?
08:26What are you talking about?
08:28Don't you hear anything, Mau Mau?
08:30The entire palace is buzzing with rumors of hexes and dark sorceries.
08:34Because of all the heirs that have been dying in the rear palace.
08:38Each one of the emperor's previous three children were frail and died not long after they were born.
08:44Doesn't that seem a little weird?
08:45All three?
08:47Yeah.
08:47And it looks like it's happening again.
08:49The newborns are unwell?
08:51That's right.
08:51With the prince and princess both ill, the royal physician's been running back and forth between Lady Gyokyo and Lady
08:57Lihua.
08:58Huh.
08:59If I'm not mistaken, since the emperor didn't yet have one, that makes Lady Lihua mother of the air, empress
09:04consort!
09:05Well, yeah.
09:06That's only logical.
09:07Since there's no pre-established empress consort and concubine Lihua gave birth to a prince, her position is assured.
09:14Maybe so, but rumor has it that the emperor's favor lies firmly with Lady Gyokyo, which allegedly is somehow connected
09:21to all of this curse business.
09:23A hierarchical power struggle, huh?
09:26Lady Lihua must be suffering the worst of the afflictions.
09:29The court physician seems to be attending her the most.
09:32Lady Lihua's sick also?
09:34Yeah, mother and child both had the same thing.
09:36Stomach and headaches, apparently with pretty bad nausea in the mix as well.
09:42Stomachache, headache, and nausea.
09:45I'm telling you, this curse is gonna doom us all!
09:49The only thing that'll doom us is gullibility.
09:52What?
09:58So, headaches, stomachache, and nausea.
10:01Poison would fit with the whole power struggle thing.
10:03Although if it's political, why would they bother going after the princess, too?
10:07Her getting ill only serves to raise suspicion.
10:10Perhaps a straightforward malady, then.
10:14Could it be something hereditary?
10:18Get it together.
10:19You're taking these rumors way too seriously.
10:22It's just a bunch of overexcited conjecture from bored-serving girls.
10:26But, that said...
10:29It wouldn't hurt to take a little bitty peek, would it?
10:32Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
10:36Talk about opulence.
10:38Ladies of high ranking like their pillars smeared redder than red,
10:41and their roof tiles yellowed enough to make the sun jealous.
10:47You're the cause of this!
10:49Lady Gyokyo!
10:50You have cursed my son, and for what?
10:52Because you could only give birth to a daughter?
10:55That is preposterous!
10:56Do you really think I would do that?
10:58My sweet Shaolin is suffering from this as well, you know?
11:01I've never seen Lady Lihua so furious.
11:04But to take it out on Lady Gyokyo...
11:06Master Jinshi.
11:10If you don't believe me, you're welcome to examine my daughter yourself!
11:14I'm not sure that would... well...
11:16That bumbling old eunuch in the middle is the palace physician?
11:20That quack's a bill short of a duck.
11:22He seriously still hasn't noticed?
11:24After all the time he spent with the concubines?
11:27Or... could it be that he just plain doesn't know?
11:31Infant mortality preceded by headaches, stomach aches, and nausea.
11:35As well as the exhaustion Lady Lihua's exhibiting.
11:39The cause is obvious, and it sure as hell isn't a curse.
11:43But how do I clue them in?
11:46If only I could find something to write with.
11:50No.
12:09Hiya!
12:13Hiya!
12:15Hiya...
12:16Hiya!
12:17And Hiya!
12:20Yippie!
12:31It was barely a month before the sorry news spread around the palace.
12:35The infant prince had finally succumbed.
12:41Odd as this is. I'm sure you have questions.
12:45Just one.
12:46The day I visited the Crystal Pavilion and ran afoul of Lady Lihua's understandable grief,
12:52I returned to find that note on my windowsill. It was tied to this flower.
12:58Rhododendrons infer warning.
13:00The child is in danger. The white face powder is poison. Ignorance is truly a sin.
13:07The palace physician would not employ quite so indirect an approach to alert you.
13:12Agreed. And his treatment of the prince belies any actual awareness.
13:17Then if not him, who was it that sent this?
13:20I'd like for you to uncover that very thing.
13:27Thinking back, I do recall...
13:30If only I could find something to write with.
13:37I'd be happy to.
13:39Until then, would you mind if I hung on to this?
13:48I heard the Emperor's been visiting Lady Gyo-kyo a lot recently, as a way of showing his love for
13:53the surviving princess.
13:54And how's Lady Lihua doing?
13:56What makes you think I'd know anything about that?
13:59Your trivia's oddly selective.
14:02Finally, there you are.
14:04You need to report in with the matron of the serving women.
14:06Immediately.
14:07Huh?
14:08She's being summoned?
14:10What do you think that's about?
14:12All right.
14:13Now that everyone's here, if you could all please head inside, we can get this underway.
14:17Serving girls getting summoned by high officials is never good.
14:21Could this be punitive?
14:23Or just a new work detail?
14:37I would like to thank you all for coming on some short notice.
14:44And who's the arrogant-looking woman supposed to be?
14:48I am Jinshi, the manager of the Rear Palace.
14:57Wait, that's a man?
14:59Oh yeah, Shaolin was going on about a beautiful-looking eunuch a while back.
15:03I guess that must be him.
15:05Yeesh, what a waste.
15:06Grade A quality jeans and no way of proliferating them.
15:12Huh?
15:13You with the freckles stay here?
15:16Oh, crap!
15:19Thank you all so much for your time.
15:22You may return to your rooms.
15:23Aw, what was that about?
15:26Why me?
15:27Did I step out of line somehow, or-
15:29Wait, is this because of the warning?
15:32Of course!
15:33I'm the only one of the serving girls here who can actually read!
15:37That message was a trap designed to single me out!
15:39I've really gotta go-
15:41Now, now, miss.
15:43Didn't you read?
15:44I told you to stay.
15:46Keep quiet and follow me.
15:54It was a trap.
15:56I must admit, this is perplexing.
15:58When I had looked up your record, it claimed you were illiterate.
16:02Yes, well, I am but of lowly birth.
16:05It must be some kind of mistake.
16:08Good luck getting me to confess!
16:10Fainting ignorance keeps things uncomplicated just the way I like it.
16:13Speaking of complications, how did this guy even find me out?
16:17I made absolutely certain nobody saw me leave those notes.
16:24Doesn't he have anything better to do than this?
16:26I mean, it's not like he has a palace to run!
16:30Please, this way.
16:33I wonder what my punishment will be.
16:35I hope I at least make it out of here alive.
16:42I've brought her, as requested.
16:44Come in!
16:51Sorry to drag you all the way up here.
16:57That's good.
16:59So it was you.
17:02For saving the life of my precious Ling Li, I am in your debt.
17:06Please, my lady.
17:07I fear your gratitude is far too generously given.
17:10I won't hear of it.
17:12Who could be more deserving than my child savior?
17:15I can never thank you enough for what you've done for us.
17:18Forgive my impudence, but maybe you have the wrong person?
17:21Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding.
17:23I don't want to get beheaded for lying,
17:25but I don't want to get wrapped up in all this crazy court stuff either.
17:31Concubine Gyokyo was kind enough to let me hold on to the note she found.
17:37Are you aware that this particular fabric is used in the serving girl's clothing?
17:42Well, I suppose it does look familiar.
17:45Yes, I am quite certain any of the palace girls would recognize it.
17:49Especially one like yourself who works amongst the laundry.
17:53Tell me, True.
17:54Did you tear apart a skirt for want of good paper?
17:59I can't believe you reasoned that out already.
18:02Now that we've established it was you,
18:04would you care to explain why you put that flower on the window?
18:17I placed it there that day because I deduced the cause of the illness.
18:21It was the white makeup powder.
18:24In the brothels I grew up around,
18:26there were many courtesans who used the same high-end powder to lighten their skin.
18:30It poisoned them slowly,
18:33draining away all of their vital spark little by little,
18:36until there was nothing left.
18:39They traded the fullness of their lives for a fleeting moment of beauty,
18:43and lost everything in the bargain.
18:52Before this,
18:54I was an apothecary.
18:56I'm familiar with poisons.
19:07Then that's the powder.
19:09It was used by the baby's nurse as daily ritual.
19:12She claimed it had a better whitening effect compared to similar popular cosmetics.
19:16She fell ill not long after Ling Li,
19:19so I permitted her some time to rest.
19:20All fully compensated, of course.
19:23Kind of you.
19:25Ignorance is truly a sin.
19:27As a mother, I should have paid more attention to what my child was eating.
19:32That sin is mine, too.
19:34Had I only been more aware of the things around me,
19:36a needless loss of life could have been avoided.
19:39The poor prince.
19:42After I saw the message,
19:43I went to tell concubine Lihua of its troubling contents.
19:50But it seemed like everything I said
19:52only served to make her believe me less.
19:56So then...
19:59Now that you know the truth,
20:01what do you intend to do with me?
20:09Well, starting today,
20:11you're going to be my new lady-in-waiting.
20:14Huh?
20:16There are some qualities
20:18Mau Mau just can't mute.
20:20Curiosity.
20:21A thirst for knowledge.
20:23And a sometimes troublesome need
20:25to right that which is wrong.
20:30Not good, not good, not good, not good, not good, not good, not good, not good, not good, not good.
20:35There you are!
20:36Welcome back to Mau Mau!
20:38So, you're going to tell me what happened?
20:39And so Mau Mau became a lady-in-waiting of concubine Gyokyo,
20:44the emperor's most cherished love,
20:47an unprecedented elevation in rank for one so young.
20:52A place where she is.
20:56And...
20:56A-oh!
20:58A-oh!
20:59A-oh!
21:00A-oh!
21:01A-oh!
21:26飾りみたいな優しさじゃなくて使い道がないほどの温もりをそんな身勝手なりそうならべきゃ言葉にできずに飲み込んでしまうのでした
21:37思い出はまだ品も癖 黄昏色も香る街で笑ってたんだよな
21:49胸が切なくて 涙が溢れて あの日のそばに明かりを見つけて放てたんだな
22:18風が潤いたくて 耳をふさげていたそんな私が
22:30卒業しなくちゃ 愛の言葉につまってでも
22:48次回はチーリーアポータケーリー
