00:00:00I disguised myself and took my sister's place in the palace as a consort.

00:00:03Just so she could be with her true love and live happily ever after.

00:00:07The emperor had been obsessed with her for ages.

00:00:09And made me a noble consort.

00:00:11Showering me with affection.

00:00:12But her so-called true love changed after they married.

00:00:15And started abusing her.

00:00:16I am the one who brought glory and honor to the family.

00:00:19While she is just a nobody in the dirt.

00:00:22Now she has had a wake-up call.

00:00:23And blames me for stealing everything that was hers.

00:00:26She sneaked into the palace as a maid.

00:00:28Your Majesty!

00:00:31I am the real Ashley Judd!

00:00:33That woman by your side is a total imposter!

00:00:36My dear sister, life with that broke lover boy must have been rough, wasn't it?

00:00:40You finally couldn't take it anymore and came crawling back to me.

00:00:43Your Majesty, I have always had feelings for you.

00:00:46I was framed back then.

00:00:48And someone stole my identity.

00:00:50It took me so long to escape and see you.

00:00:52Oh my god, this maid looks exactly like her highness.

00:00:56Who is the real noble consort?

00:01:01If you don't believe me, I'll have to prove my innocence with my life today!

00:01:05Stop!

00:01:11You claim you are Ashley Judd.

00:01:13Got any proof?

00:01:14At the Golden Mirror Polo Gala.

00:01:16Your Majesty, you promised me a lifetime together.

00:01:19That matter was between just you and me.

00:01:22No one else ever knew it.

00:01:26The Golden Mirror Polo Gala.

00:01:30She never mentioned anything about that to me.

00:01:33Looking at Silas now, he clearly doesn't believe me anymore.

00:01:43I've had enough of being a noble consort.

00:01:46Now that the real Ashley is here.

00:01:48If your Majesty wishes to have me executed, or demoted to the Cold Palace, I have no objection.

00:01:57Silas Chase has always hated being lied to the most.

00:02:00Ashley Judd knew exactly where his weakness lay.

00:02:02That is why she dared expose me in public.

00:02:07Who are you?

00:02:13Your Majesty!

00:02:15She is my half-sister!

00:02:16Her name is Silaschia Judd!

00:02:17She is the one who framed me!

00:02:23The noble consort has breached court etiquette.

00:02:26She shall kneel in the Imperial Garden as punishment do not rise without a decree.

00:02:32Thank you for your great mercy.

00:02:36Your Highness, what is going on between you and His Majesty?

00:02:40In the past, even if you smashed the tribute of Porcelain Vos from the neighboring kingdom,

00:02:44His Majesty would only scold you lightly.

00:02:46How could he bear to do this today?

00:02:47Ian!

00:02:48You've never actually seen my real face, have you?

00:02:52I wouldn't dare!

00:02:54I beg your Highness to spare my life!

00:03:01What is the time?

00:03:06Your Highness, it is around 8.40 in the evening.

00:03:09You fainted in the Imperial Garden and have been unconscious for two days.

00:03:18Your Highness, His Majesty, has just conferred the title of Noble Lady Ashley upon her.

00:03:26Noble Lady Ashley.

00:03:27Just two days and she has already broken ancestral rules.

00:03:30She was promoted to Noble Lady and granted the courtesy character, His Majesty must truly hold deep affection for her.

00:03:35Your Highness, you, you are not angry.

00:03:38Angry?

00:03:38Why would I get angry?

00:03:40I am going to congratulate His Majesty on winning such a beauty, Ian.

00:03:43Attend to me for a change of attire.

00:03:44I have known His Majesty long before.

00:03:47That bond we share is entirely unlike the ties you ladies hold with him.

00:03:51Hmph!

00:03:55Ashley is new to the palace.

00:03:56Her manners might be a bit lacking.

00:03:57I hope you'll forgive her.

00:04:09Sophia, you are injured.

00:04:11You could have sent a servant to deliver your message.

00:04:13You don't need to come in person quick.

00:04:14Bring her a seat.

00:04:17I actually hadn't planned on coming,

00:04:19but I had to congratulate His Majesty on his new lovely acquisition.

00:04:26Your Highness, you really have no shame.

00:04:28You stole someone's identity to enter the palace.

00:04:31Now the real one is sitting right here and you still have the nerve to offer congratulations.

00:04:34If I had committed such shameless acts, I'd just die on the spot.

00:04:39So she was a stand.

00:04:41And no wonder.

00:04:42Noble Lady Ashley, don't speak nonsense.

00:04:45I am not speaking nonsense.

00:04:47Your Highness, if you are so eager to be a thief, don't be afraid of being exposed.

00:04:51Noble Lady Ashley, you are right.

00:04:54What isn't yours will never be yours.

00:04:57I sincerely wish you and His Majesty a long and happy union and a swift air.

00:05:04The noble consort behaved arrogantly.

00:05:06And spoken recklessly, she shall be confined to the Hall of Joy's Blessings for half a month.

00:05:09His Majesty dotes exclusively on Noble Lady Ashley.

00:05:13Now, Your Highness, why must you provoke Noble Lady Ashley at this time?

00:05:17You misunderstand.

00:05:19I truly mean it.

00:05:21Sorry.

00:05:28These fair weather scoundrels.

00:05:30His Majesty takes Noble Lady Ashley out every day.

00:05:34And they really think Your Highness has fallen from favor.

00:05:36Now they won't even provide the silver thread charcoal to Hall of Joy's Blessing.

00:05:40This is simply outrageous.

00:05:42No need for night watch tonight, all of you.

00:05:44Go and rest.

00:05:58Silas, doesn't he stay overnight with Ashley every day?

00:06:02How could he appear here in the dead of night?

00:06:06You are truly so heartless.

00:06:09Not a shred of affection.

00:06:10Will you spare for me?

00:06:12Ashley.

00:06:15Don't call me Ashley!

00:06:17I am Sophia.

00:06:29Don't dodge.

00:06:30Let me hold you for a bit.

00:06:33Your Majesty, you have already found your beloved.

00:06:35Instead of sharing the bed with my sister, you come to me.

00:06:39Amir's standing in the dead of night.

00:06:44If you wish, you can be Ashley Judd.

00:06:49As long as you are willing, in this world, you shall be the one and only Ashley Judd.

00:06:55What he means is, for me, he can get rid of the real Ashley Judd.

00:06:59Your Majesty, have you heard the rumors on the street?

00:07:03The Judd family has two daughters.

00:07:04The legitimate one is a stunning beauty, pursued by countless admirers.

00:07:08But that illegitimate one is hideously ugly.

00:07:10Not only is her face dark, but her features are all crooked.

00:07:13Your Majesty, you haven't seen my real face, have you?

00:07:16Would you like to take a look?

00:07:20Your Majesty, you haven't seen my real face, have you?

00:07:23You are just putting on an air of mystery.

00:07:24Think you can just make up some hideous lie, and I'll let you off the hook.

00:07:28Whether I am putting on an air of mystery or not, you can see for yourself.

00:07:35How is this possible?

00:07:37She turned out so stunning.

00:07:39Even more beautiful than Ashley.

00:07:40Your Majesty, this is my real face.

00:07:43I am Sophia Judd, the illegitimate daughter of the Judd family.

00:07:46Now you've seen my face clearly, and it is unworthy to be Ashley's subside.

00:07:51I beg your Majesty to issue the decree soon and banish me to the Cold Palace to fulfill your and

00:07:55my sister's legendary romance.

00:07:58Banish you to the Cold Palace in your dreams?

00:08:00Let go of me, isn't it?

00:08:01Ashley Judd, whom you love, why don't you go to her?

00:08:03I am the son of heaven.

00:08:05Whoever I want, must stay by my side.

00:08:07Since you took her place to enter the palace, for the rest of your life, you can only be my

00:08:12woman.

00:08:13Insane, he doesn't love anyone at all.

00:08:15He only loves himself, and that ridiculous need for control.

00:08:19So you have taken a fancy to my real face, huh?

00:08:22How dare you!

00:08:34Your Majesty, it is late.

00:08:36Shall we prepare the carriage to return to noble lady Ashley's place?

00:08:40Her Highness has sent someone to urge us twice already.

00:08:43Sophia Judd, why is it that every time I close my eyes now, all I can see is her face?

00:08:49I actually find Ashley's face somewhat dull and uninteresting now.

00:08:56We're not going to return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

00:09:02Sophia Judd, she has been deceiving me all this time.

00:09:05That face, those eyes.

00:09:07So you have taken a fancy to my real face, huh?

00:09:11Your Majesty, up ahead is the Palace of Pure Belle, where noble lady Ashley resides.

00:09:17The maid from her quarters came to urge us again.

00:09:19Her Highness has prepared your favorite tea, Frost Vale, Jade.

00:09:23To the Palace of Pure Belle.

00:09:28Your Majesty, you are finally here.

00:09:31I've been waiting anxiously.

00:09:33I was starting to think some fox spirit had caught your fancy.

00:09:36I once thought this face looked utterly pitiable and charming,

00:09:39but now, looking at it, it just seems so plain, even a bit contrived.

00:09:44Your Majesty, it is late.

00:09:47Let me attend to your rest.

00:09:50Let go of me, isn't it Ashley Judd, whom you love?

00:09:53Why don't you go to her?

00:09:58Your Majesty, what is wrong?

00:10:01Have I done something wrong?

00:10:05I've been handling court affairs all day.

00:10:07I am utterly exhausted.

00:10:08I am not in mood for anything else.

00:10:10Your Majesty, let me massage your shoulders.

00:10:13I said I am tired.

00:10:14If you can't behave, I'll return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation now.

00:10:19Got it.

00:10:20I'll do as you say.

00:10:25What did you say?

00:10:26His Majesty went to the Hall of Joyous Blessing last night.

00:10:29Yes.

00:10:29I spent some silver to ask Eunuch Leon's underling Eunuch for the information.

00:10:33His Majesty stayed at the Hall of Joyous Blessing for a long time and looked awful when he left.

00:10:38That wretch Sophia Judd is under house arrest.

00:10:40Yet she dares to seduce His Majesty.

00:10:43I can't let her ruin my plans.

00:10:45Pass my order to the Imperial Household Department.

00:10:48Cut off all charcoal, winter clothes, and daily supplies for the Hall of Joyous Blessing.

00:10:53Let's see how long she can last.

00:10:56Your Highness, those servants at the Imperial Household Department said Noble Lady Ashley gave the order.

00:11:01Now, they won't even give us the lowest grade charcoal they mean to freeze us to death.

00:11:07Your Highness, what are you doing?

00:11:09You'll catch a chill.

00:11:10If I am not seriously ill, how can I make Her Majesty take pity on me?

00:11:13Ian, go to the Imperial Medical Academy and fetch a physician.

00:11:16Remember, make sure to cry pitifully on the way.

00:11:18You must let the people at the Hall of Phoenix Grace hear you.

00:11:21I understand.

00:11:30Why is it so freezing here?

00:11:32There is not even a brazier in this hall.

00:11:37Pay my respects to Your Majesty.

00:11:41Lie down quickly.

00:11:42You are terribly ill.

00:11:44Why didn't you send someone to the Palace of Phoenix Dignity to inform me?

00:11:47I am a condemned person.

00:11:48I dare not trouble Your Majesty.

00:11:50Noble Lady Ashley enjoys His Majesty's favor now.

00:11:53I only beg to barely survive in the Hall of Joyous Blessing.

00:11:55I have no intention of competing for favor.

00:11:58Ashley Judd has only been favored for a few days, yet she dares to overstep and mistreat a noble consort.

00:12:03She simply doesn't regard me with any respect.

00:12:06Don't worry.

00:12:08I am the true mistress of the Herald.

00:12:10I won't allow anyone to trample on you like this.

00:12:12I shall redress all wrongs done to you.

00:12:18I've already dealt with those useless servants at the Imperial Household Department.

00:12:22If you need anything in the future, just send someone to the Palace of Phoenix Dignity to get it.

00:12:26I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty's life, saving grace.

00:12:30Had it not been for Your Majesty, I am afraid I would not have survived this winter.

00:12:33We're both in the harem, we should look out for each other.

00:12:36It is just you are far too stubborn.

00:12:39His Majesty was in a fit of rage.

00:12:41You should have just softened up a bit.

00:12:43Why suffer such torment?

00:12:44Your Majesty, it is not that I am stubborn, but I've seen through it.

00:12:48His Majesty's heart and eyes are now filled with only noble Lady Ashley.

00:12:51My face would only be an eyesore to him.

00:12:55I've already given up hope.

00:12:57I only wish to live out my days safely within these deep palace walls.

00:13:00You truly can let it go.

00:13:02What if I can't, Your Majesty?

00:13:04You are the mistress of the harem, naturally.

00:13:07You see things more clearly than I do.

00:13:09I fear what noble Lady Ashley craves is far more than merely His Majesty's affection.

00:13:13These past few days relying on His Majesty's favor, Ashley has not only meddled in the affairs of the Imperial

00:13:19Household Department, but even daring to be late for morning greetings, she is indeed growing more and more arrogant.

00:13:25Your Majesty, I come from a humble background.

00:13:27To have what I have today is already a great fortune.

00:13:29I have no desire to fight for favor, let alone covet the Empress's throne.

00:13:32If Your Majesty does not find me unworthy, I am willing to become a blade in Your Majesty's hand to

00:13:36share your burdens.

00:13:37You are so smart.

00:13:38I like smart people.

00:13:41Focus on recovering your health.

00:13:42The harem is full of hidden dangers.

00:13:44To live safely, relying solely on forbearance is not enough.

00:13:48I understand.

00:13:49I am willing to follow Your Majesty's lead in all things.

00:13:55Ashley Judd, you think having Silas chase his favor means you can strut around harem, huh?

00:14:02You'll soon find out what happens to those who cross Her Majesty.

00:14:07Your Majesty, look how lovely these red plum blossoms are.

00:14:11I still recall that, on the snow mountain years ago, there grew a proud, unyielding red plum blossom.

00:14:17Just like this one.

00:14:19Indeed, that year, I was pursued by assassins and fell into a snowy ravine.

00:14:24If not for your desperate rest, I likely wouldn't have survived.

00:14:27At that moment, I wasn't thinking of anything.

00:14:29I just thought I must save Your Majesty.

00:14:31Even if it meant death, I would have perished together with Your Majesty.

00:14:36I remember.

00:14:37I had a high fever that wouldn't break.

00:14:39To keep me warm.

00:14:41You gave me the very clothes you were wearing next to your skin.

00:14:44Back then.

00:14:45Did you get frostbite near your collarbone?

00:14:48Frostbite near the collarbone?

00:14:49How come I don't know about that?

00:14:50It was Sophia!

00:14:51That wretched woman who saved him, I merely stole the credit from her!

00:14:54No, I can't let him find out.

00:14:58Yeah, yes.

00:14:59It was so cold, then I can't quite remember clearly.

00:15:02You can't remember.

00:15:03But that was a frostbite deep enough to see bone.

00:15:06How could you not remember?

00:15:09Your Majesty, it was so long ago I...

00:15:12I used premium scar removal cream afterward.

00:15:15There is not a mark left at all.

00:15:17Return to your palace now.

00:15:19Your Majesty!

00:15:22It is over.

00:15:24Has he sensed something?

00:15:27Number!

00:15:27I absolutely cannot let him discover the truth of what happened that year.

00:15:38How?

00:15:40How could this happen?

00:15:42The spots are showing through again!

00:15:50Your Highness!

00:15:51Please calm down!

00:15:52Please!

00:15:53Your Highness, calm down!

00:15:57You witch!

00:15:58You think you are still the high and mighty Miss Judd of the Judd family!

00:16:00Since you ran off with me, you better behave!

00:16:08My face!

00:16:10My face!

00:16:13My face!

00:16:15Number!

00:16:16I barely escaped at hell.

00:16:18I barely clawed back the glory and riches that should have been mine.

00:16:22I can't let His Majesty see this hideous face of mine.

00:16:26Where is the medicine?

00:16:28Quick!

00:16:28That secret elixir from the Western region!

00:16:30Now!

00:16:35Your Highness, the medicine is here.

00:16:52Your Highness, you mustn't that merchant from the Western region, said.

00:16:56This secret potion make one's skin glow and looks radiant,

00:16:58but it contains toxins.

00:17:00You can only take it once a month.

00:17:01You've already taken a dose today.

00:17:03If you take more, it might backfire.

00:17:04You know nothing, Day in the Imperial Garden!

00:17:06His Majesty was already suspicious of me.

00:17:08If I can't use this face to keep him home,

00:17:09I'll lose everything!

00:17:11As long as I can hold Silas Chase in check

00:17:13and trample that witch Sophia jaw beneath my heels,

00:17:16a little poison means nothing at all.

00:17:26I am the most beautiful!

00:17:27I am the only noble consort of great kale!

00:17:30Sophia, Jen, what have you got to fight me with?

00:17:39I pay my respects to your Majesty the Empress and all the ladies.

00:17:43His Majesty has obtained a fine piece of silk brocade today

00:17:46and specifically ordered me to deliver it

00:17:49for all the ladies to tailor winter garments.

00:17:56Wow, so beautiful that is silk brocade!

00:17:59Embroidered with flowing clouds and hundred blessings,

00:18:01they say it has only produced two bolts a year.

00:18:05This moon white silk brocade has such a delicate color,

00:18:09it perfectly complements my complexion.

00:18:11Munich Leon, have it delivered for me

00:18:13to the Palace of Pure Bell.

00:18:14Well, Your Highness Noble Lady Ash,

00:18:17this moon white silk brocade was specially commissioned

00:18:19by His Majesty as a gift for Her Highness Noble Consort.

00:18:23Sophia, Jen, a convict such as yourself

00:18:25does not deserve to wear such exquisite fabric.

00:18:30If Noble Lady Ashley likes it, take it then.

00:18:34It is just a bolt of fabric.

00:18:36Hall of Joyous Blessing is terribly quiet and desolate.

00:18:39It is all the same what I wear.

00:18:43Noble Lady Ashley, since it was a gift from His Majesty

00:18:46bestowed upon Noble Consort,

00:18:48how dare you snatch it away?

00:18:49Step back now.

00:18:49Your Majesty, you are being biased.

00:18:52It is clear that His Majesty favors me the most.

00:18:54You are becoming more and more out of line.

00:19:01Your Majesty, look at Her Highness.

00:19:04She deliberately used that fabric to humiliate me.

00:19:08Ashley's whole greedy, overbearing act

00:19:10is utterly despicable,

00:19:11while Sophia, on the other hand,

00:19:13is cool and elegant,

00:19:14never fighting for things.

00:19:16How did I ever think that Ashley

00:19:17was the one who understood me?

00:19:19It is just a piece of silk brocade

00:19:20as a dignified noble lady.

00:19:22How dare you raise your voice in the Empress's Palace?

00:19:24What kind of behavior is that?

00:19:26Your Majesty,

00:19:27you are scolding me for her sake.

00:19:29Unic Leon,

00:19:29take that moon-white silk brocade

00:19:31to the Hall of Joyous Blessing.

00:19:32As for Noble Lady Ashley,

00:19:34for misconduct before the Hall,

00:19:36she shall copy the admonitions for women ten times

00:19:38and be confined to the Palace of Pure Belle

00:19:40for three days.

00:19:54Search the place,

00:19:55search everywhere,

00:19:55leave no stone unturned.

00:19:59Noble Lady Ashley,

00:20:00you are quite bold,

00:20:02Hall of Joyous Blessings is mine,

00:20:03you cannot rummage through it as you please.

00:20:05Your Highness Noble Consort,

00:20:07that pearl bracelet bestowed by His Majesty

00:20:09has gone missing someone.

00:20:11Saw your palace maid Judy sneaking off to

00:20:13the Palace of Pure Belle yesterday,

00:20:16Unic Leon.

00:20:17This is an imperial gift.

00:20:18If it is lost,

00:20:19no one can bear the blame.

00:20:21Your Highness,

00:20:22I am just following orders.

00:20:25My apologies.

00:20:28Ah!

00:20:31Your Highness,

00:20:32I am innocent.

00:20:34I didn't steal anything.

00:20:36We will know.

00:20:37Whether she did or not,

00:20:38after searching the inner chamber,

00:20:40search it at once.

00:20:48Impossible.

00:20:49I clearly told Judy to hide the bracelet

00:20:51inside the vanity table.

00:20:52Could this wretch have taken the money

00:20:53and not done the job?

00:20:55Noble Lady Ashley,

00:20:56you searched so thoroughly.

00:20:57Was it this you were looking for?

00:21:05Unic Leon,

00:21:06you see it was her who stole it after all.

00:21:07Caught red-handed.

00:21:08What do you have to say for yourself?

00:21:09Ian,

00:21:10tell Noble Lady Ashley

00:21:12this bracelet's found.

00:21:13Your Highness,

00:21:14this bracelet was found

00:21:15under Judy's pillow last night.

00:21:16By me,

00:21:16I also found an inexplicable edition

00:21:18of 50 Tales of Gold

00:21:20in Judy's bundle.

00:21:20Please have mercy,

00:21:22Your Highness.

00:21:22It was,

00:21:23it was Noble Lady Ashley

00:21:25who gave me 50 Tales of Gold

00:21:27to have me hide the bracelet

00:21:28in your vanity to set you up.

00:21:29I was momentarily greedy.

00:21:31I beg for your leniency.

00:21:33You wretch.

00:21:34How dare you slander me?

00:21:35I'll tear your mouth.

00:21:38Slander.

00:21:38On the bottom of those 50 Tales of Gold

00:21:41is still clearly stamped

00:21:42the seal of the Palace of Pure Bell.

00:21:50You bribed a palace maid

00:21:52to frame a reigning noble consul.

00:21:55Ashley Judd,

00:21:56guess what crime?

00:21:59His Majesty would charge you with

00:22:00if he learned the truth.

00:22:06Your Majesty,

00:22:08you must stand up for me.

00:22:09Her Highness has not only stolen

00:22:10the pearl bracelet

00:22:11you bestowed upon me,

00:22:12but also extorted

00:22:13a false confession

00:22:14forcing a maid to frame me up.

00:22:22Sofia,

00:22:23what do you have to say

00:22:25for yourself?

00:22:25I have nothing to say.

00:22:26The evidence and witnesses

00:22:27are all here

00:22:28if Your Majesty doesn't believe.

00:22:29You can investigate the mark

00:22:30on the bottom

00:22:31of those 50 Tales of Gold.

00:22:34Ashley Judd,

00:22:35how dare you play

00:22:36such a clumsy trick

00:22:37right under my nose?

00:22:38Do you really think

00:22:38I am blind,

00:22:39you vicious woman?

00:22:40Your Majesty!

00:22:41What else

00:22:42do you have to say

00:22:42in your defense?

00:22:43I am your Ashley.

00:22:45Back then on the Snow Mountain,

00:22:46it was I who risked

00:22:47my life to save you.

00:22:48All you ever do

00:22:49is hold that mountain

00:22:50rescue over my head.

00:22:51What else can you do?

00:22:51Look at your hideous,

00:22:53frantic self

00:22:53who will stop at nothing.

00:22:55Not a trace of the

00:22:55innocent kind girl

00:22:56you once were remains.

00:22:58No,

00:22:59that is not true,

00:23:00Your Majesty.

00:23:00It is her.

00:23:01It is that when

00:23:02Sofia Judd

00:23:03seduced you.

00:23:03That is why

00:23:04you were wished by her.

00:23:05Guards drag this

00:23:06disloyal wretch Judy out

00:23:07and beat her to death.

00:23:09No,

00:23:09Her Majesty!

00:23:10Spare me,

00:23:11please!

00:23:11As for Noble Lady Ash

00:23:13malicious in heart

00:23:13and framing a noble consul,

00:23:14she is demoted

00:23:15to second attendant

00:23:15effective immediate

00:23:16and confined to the

00:23:17palace of Pure Belle

00:23:18without my decree.

00:23:19No one is permitted

00:23:19to visit her.

00:23:22Your Majesty,

00:23:23you can't do this to me.

00:23:25I am your Ashley.

00:23:27You promised to protect me

00:23:28and keep me safe for life.

00:23:30Get out!

00:23:34Silas Chase,

00:23:36your so-called

00:23:36deep affection

00:23:37amounts to nothing.

00:23:48leave me alone.

00:23:49No one is to disturb us.

00:23:50Understood.

00:23:59Your Majesty,

00:24:00I pay my respects.

00:24:02Sofia,

00:24:02you are still angry with me.

00:24:04Ashley has been demoted

00:24:05to second attendant

00:24:05and confined to the palace

00:24:07of Pure Belle.

00:24:07If that is still not enough,

00:24:08I can punish her further.

00:24:09Your Majesty,

00:24:10you flatter me too much.

00:24:11Oath favor and rebuke

00:24:12or grace.

00:24:12How dare I be angry

00:24:13with Your Majesty?

00:24:14Sofia,

00:24:14I admit it.

00:24:15You are all I can think about.

00:24:16If only you would smile at me

00:24:17and if only you are willing

00:24:18to return to my side,

00:24:19I can immediately depose Ashley.

00:24:20Judd,

00:24:20even have her killed.

00:24:21What a cold-blooded lunatic yesterday.

00:24:23You doted on her,

00:24:24showering her with endless affection today

00:24:26for the sake of

00:24:27a bit of novelty.

00:24:28You wouldn't hesitate

00:24:29to turn on your old flame

00:24:30and strike her down.

00:24:31Your Majesty,

00:24:32you are so cruel.

00:24:32She is your beloved

00:24:33white moonlight

00:24:34who risked her life

00:24:35saving you on the snowmound

00:24:36if you just kill her.

00:24:36Aren't you afraid

00:24:37of breaking the hearts

00:24:38of all people?

00:24:38I don't care about them all.

00:24:40I want right now is you.

00:24:41What you love

00:24:41is neither the debt of gratitude

00:24:43for saving your life

00:24:44nor this face of mine.

00:24:45What you love

00:24:45is always only yourself.

00:24:46When Ashley obeyed you,

00:24:48you thought she was perfection itself

00:24:49now that her beauty is marred

00:24:50and she irritates you.

00:24:52You cast her aside

00:24:53like a wisp of smoke today.

00:24:54You can kill her

00:24:54for my sake one day.

00:24:55I displease you.

00:24:57My fate will only be worse

00:24:58than hers.

00:24:59Sofia,

00:25:00don't you dare

00:25:00be ungrateful.

00:25:01I am the son of heaven.

00:25:04So what if you are

00:25:05the son of heaven?

00:25:06You may control

00:25:06the life and death

00:25:07of everyone under heaven,

00:25:08but you will never

00:25:09obtain my true heart.

00:25:12Fine, very well.

00:25:14Let's see

00:25:15how long

00:25:15that defiance of yours

00:25:16is.

00:25:32Your highness,

00:25:33we've got some leads

00:25:33on that matter.

00:25:34You told me to look

00:25:35into outside the palace.

00:25:36Oh.

00:25:37Has he come to the capital?

00:25:39Yes.

00:25:39That country bumpkin

00:25:40named Noah Lee

00:25:41somehow managed

00:25:42to get his hands

00:25:43on a scholar's title.

00:25:44He has also followed

00:25:45the crowd to the capital

00:25:46for the imperial exams.

00:25:47He is currently staying

00:25:48at a dilapidated temple

00:25:49in the South City.

00:25:50He has been drinking

00:25:50too much

00:25:51and bragging

00:25:51all over the place,

00:25:52saying he once slept

00:25:53with a young lady

00:25:54from a noble family.

00:25:56Excellent.

00:25:56Ashley,

00:25:57John,

00:25:57the nightmare

00:25:58you dread more than any

00:25:59the one you long

00:25:59to erase forever

00:26:00has finally come

00:26:01knocking at your door.

00:26:03Ian,

00:26:03go spread this news

00:26:04as idle gossip

00:26:06casually to the palace

00:26:07made in charge

00:26:07of night's oil

00:26:08in the palace

00:26:08of Pure Bell.

00:26:09Make absolutely sure

00:26:10noble lady Ashley

00:26:11hears it crystal clear.

00:26:13Understood.

00:26:20Any news from outside?

00:26:21It's his majesty

00:26:22about to lift

00:26:23my house arrest.

00:26:24Is he?

00:26:24Your highness,

00:26:25I just went to

00:26:26empty the night soil

00:26:27and overheard

00:26:28some eunuch

00:26:29gossiping outside.

00:26:31Stop scammering

00:26:31and spit it out.

00:26:32Hurry up and tell me.

00:26:33They said

00:26:34for this year's

00:26:35special imperial exam,

00:26:36a country bumpkin

00:26:37named Noah Lee

00:26:38has come to the capital

00:26:39for the exams.

00:26:39He's been bragging

00:26:40all over the place.

00:26:41that he once once

00:26:42slept with a young lady

00:26:43from a noble family.

00:26:45You belong to

00:26:45the Ly family in life

00:26:47and you will be

00:26:47a spirit of the

00:26:48Ly family in death.

00:26:49Even if you run

00:26:50back to the capital,

00:26:51I can still

00:26:51track you down.

00:26:54Noah Lee,

00:26:54how could he come

00:26:55to the capital?

00:26:56If he smells

00:26:57the beans about,

00:26:58what happened back then?

00:26:59And if his majesty

00:26:59finds out that I was

00:27:00no longer pure

00:27:01and untouched

00:27:01and that I even

00:27:02had an abortion

00:27:03for that country bumpkin?

00:27:05Tracy,

00:27:06listen to me.

00:27:06Find a way to get

00:27:07a message to my father.

00:27:08Have him send someone

00:27:09to the dilapidated temple

00:27:10in South City

00:27:10and kill Noah Lee.

00:27:11We absolutely cannot

00:27:12let him enter

00:27:13the examination hall alive.

00:27:14Your highness,

00:27:15we're under house arrest

00:27:16right now.

00:27:16We can't even step out

00:27:17of the palace

00:27:18of Purebell's gate.

00:27:23Noah Lee's in the capital.

00:27:25That wretch,

00:27:25Sophia Chut,

00:27:26must know by now.

00:27:27She'll definitely

00:27:28seize the chance

00:27:29to expose me

00:27:30before his majesty.

00:27:32No way,

00:27:32I can't just sit here

00:27:33waiting for doom.

00:27:34I've got to strike first.

00:27:40I am your servant,

00:27:41Kevin.

00:27:42I pay my respects

00:27:43to your highness,

00:27:44second attendant Ashley.

00:27:45So you are Kevin

00:27:46from the Imperial Kitchen

00:27:47in charge of the drinks

00:27:48for the Mid-Autumn

00:27:49Imperial Banquet.

00:27:50That is right.

00:27:51May I ask why

00:27:52you've summoned me

00:27:53so late at night?

00:27:59Here is 300 Tales of Gold.

00:28:02I want you to do

00:28:03something for me

00:28:03at the Mid-Autumn

00:28:04Imperial Banquet.

00:28:05Just give your orders.

00:28:06I would not hesitate

00:28:07to do anything.

00:28:09This is a rare poison

00:28:10from the western region.

00:28:12Wizard Bell Venom,

00:28:12colorless and odorless.

00:28:14The nearest touch

00:28:15ruins one's beauty

00:28:16and they die horribly

00:28:17with their insides

00:28:18torn up.

00:28:21Your highness,

00:28:22who,

00:28:23who,

00:28:24who are you

00:28:24trying to poison?

00:28:25The noble consort,

00:28:28Sophia Judd.

00:28:29Your highness,

00:28:30spare me.

00:28:30Poisoning her highness

00:28:31is a crime

00:28:32that dooms

00:28:32nine generations.

00:28:32I wouldn't dare.

00:28:35Do you think

00:28:36you still have a way out?

00:28:37You took my gold.

00:28:38You are already

00:28:39my accomplice

00:28:40if you don't do it.

00:28:41I'll scream for help

00:28:42right now

00:28:42and say you tried

00:28:43to assault me.

00:28:45I,

00:28:45I will do it.

00:28:47I will get it done

00:28:48for sure.

00:28:49On the day

00:28:49of the Imperial Banquet,

00:28:51I'll personally

00:28:51propose a toaster.

00:28:52All you need to do

00:28:53is slip this poison

00:28:54into her wine cup.

00:28:55Once it is done,

00:28:56I'll get you out

00:28:57of the palace

00:28:58and you'll live

00:28:59in luxury forever.

00:29:00Understood.

00:29:01I'll do as you say.

00:29:04Your highness,

00:29:05there is movement

00:29:05over at the palace

00:29:06of Pure Bell.

00:29:07Last night,

00:29:08Kevin from the Imperial

00:29:08Kitchen sneaked

00:29:09into the palace

00:29:10of Pure Bell

00:29:10when he came out.

00:29:11He had a heavy-looking

00:29:12money pouch

00:29:12tucked in his robe.

00:29:13Did you find out

00:29:14what he went there for?

00:29:15I bragged Kevin's apprentice

00:29:16due to spilling everything.

00:29:17Noble Lady Ashley

00:29:18gave him a bottle

00:29:19of exotic poison

00:29:20from the western region.

00:29:21She wanted him

00:29:22to slip it into

00:29:22your highness's cup

00:29:23at the Mid-Autumn Banquet.

00:29:24Ashley Judd,

00:29:25you are really backed

00:29:26into a corner now.

00:29:27Aren't you trying

00:29:27to poison me fine then?

00:29:29I'll give you a grand gift

00:29:30in front of the entire world.

00:29:31Ian,

00:29:32let's go to

00:29:32her majesty's palace.

00:29:34I have a good show

00:29:35I'd like to invite

00:29:35her majesty to watch.

00:29:41Withered Bell Venom

00:29:42from the western region.

00:29:43Ashley Judd dares

00:29:44to openly poison

00:29:45a noble consort

00:29:45at the Imperial Banquet.

00:29:46She has truly

00:29:47lost her mind.

00:29:48She is not crazy.

00:29:49She is terrified.

00:29:50The news of

00:29:50Noelle Lee

00:29:51entering the capital

00:29:52has become a blade

00:29:53hanging over her head.

00:29:53She wants to eliminate me.

00:29:55Her thorn in the side

00:29:56before her secret

00:29:57is exposed.

00:29:58I will not allow

00:29:59such a venomous woman

00:30:00to stir up trouble

00:30:01in the harem.

00:30:02I shall go now

00:30:03to inform his majesty

00:30:04and have her thrown

00:30:05into the death cell.

00:30:06Your Highness,

00:30:07please hold on.

00:30:08We need hard proof

00:30:09to catch a thief

00:30:10if we accuse her now.

00:30:11She could easily

00:30:12turn the tables

00:30:13and claim I am framing her.

00:30:14His majesty

00:30:14still holds some affection

00:30:15for her.

00:30:16He might not strike

00:30:17to kill her.

00:30:17Then,

00:30:18what do you

00:30:19suggest we do?

00:30:20Turn her scheme

00:30:21against her

00:30:22since she plans

00:30:23to strike at the banquet.

00:30:24Then I shall give her

00:30:25that very chance.

00:30:26I've already had

00:30:27Ian secretly

00:30:28take control

00:30:28of that eunuch Kevin.

00:30:29On the day of the banquet,

00:30:30the poisoned wine

00:30:31will be served.

00:30:32But I won't drink it.

00:30:33I want her to taste

00:30:34her own bitter medicine

00:30:35in front of everyone.

00:30:36A brilliant move

00:30:37to lure the snake out.

00:30:38But poisoning alone

00:30:39isn't enough

00:30:39to seal her eternal damnation.

00:30:41Don't worry,

00:30:42Your Highness.

00:30:42I've prepared

00:30:43a special gift for her.

00:30:44I've already sent someone

00:30:45to bring Noah Leap

00:30:46to wait outside the palace.

00:30:48I see now.

00:30:49Poisoning a noble consort,

00:30:51defiling the heron,

00:30:52and deceiving his majesty.

00:30:53Ashley has no way

00:30:54out this time.

00:30:55I wish to be the blade

00:30:56in Your Highness' hand

00:30:57to root out this

00:30:58festering blight entirely for you.

00:30:59I only ask that

00:31:00once it is done,

00:31:00Your Highness can guarantee

00:31:01me a place of peace

00:31:02within these deep palace walls.

00:31:04You have my word.

00:31:05As long as I am here,

00:31:06in this harem,

00:31:07there will always be

00:31:08a place for you.

00:31:11Kevin,

00:31:12do you understand

00:31:14what Her Highness has said?

00:31:16I understand.

00:31:18I will follow

00:31:19Her Highness' orders

00:31:20exactly to serve

00:31:21that cup of poisoned wine.

00:31:23Remember,

00:31:23your life is now held

00:31:25in Her Highness' hands.

00:31:26If you dare play tricks,

00:31:28this time next year

00:31:29will be your death anniversary.

00:31:32I wouldn't dare

00:31:33or would die

00:31:34a thousand deaths

00:31:34without regret.

00:31:46Sophia Judge,

00:31:47you could be

00:31:47my spitting image today.

00:31:49I am gonna make you

00:31:50suffer a gut-wrenching agony

00:31:51and die without

00:31:52a whole body

00:31:53right here

00:31:53in this grand hall.

00:31:54Your Majesty

00:31:54on this mid-autumn festival,

00:31:56I wish Your Majesty

00:31:57boundless fortune

00:31:58and longevity

00:31:59and peace

00:31:59throughout the land.

00:32:00Please let me toast to you.

00:32:03Hmm.

00:32:05Her outfit is tacky

00:32:06and over the top.

00:32:19Your Highness,

00:32:20why are you dressed

00:32:21so plainly?

00:32:23Could it be

00:32:23you are still holding

00:32:24a grudge against me?

00:32:28You are overthinking it.

00:32:30I simply feel

00:32:30it is fitting

00:32:31to be more elegant

00:32:32on mid-autumn festival.

00:32:34Lest I overshadow

00:32:35the host

00:32:35and breach etiquette.

00:32:36You are right

00:32:37to correct me.

00:32:37I just wanted

00:32:38His Majesty

00:32:39to be in better spirits.

00:32:43Your Highness,

00:32:44taking advantage

00:32:45of the mid-autumn festival,

00:32:46please let me toast

00:32:47you a cup.

00:32:48As my apology,

00:32:49I hope you can be

00:32:49magnanimous and forgive.

00:32:50To forgive me,

00:32:51the real show

00:32:52is finally about to begin.

00:32:56Your Highness,

00:32:59please.

00:33:01Drink.

00:33:02Drink it.

00:33:03Now,

00:33:04once you drink this,

00:33:06no one in this world

00:33:07will ever be able

00:33:08to compete with me again.

00:33:14No!

00:33:15No!

00:33:22Poison!

00:33:23The wine is poisoned!

00:33:27Protect His Majesty!

00:33:33Second attendant to Ashley.

00:33:36You dare try to poison me

00:33:38at the Imperial Banquet?

00:33:40How could this happen?

00:33:41How did she knock it over?

00:33:43You are lying!

00:33:44I didn't!

00:33:45You knocked it over yourself!

00:33:47You are framing me!

00:33:48Enough!

00:33:49Ashley Judd!

00:33:50What possible explanation

00:33:51do you have?

00:33:52Your Majesty!

00:33:53I've been wrong!

00:33:54I truly did not poison

00:33:56the wine was her!

00:33:57It was that wretch,

00:33:58Sophia Judd,

00:33:59poisoned herself

00:33:59to frame me!

00:34:01Second attendant,

00:34:01Ashley,

00:34:02you personally offered

00:34:02the Toe the Eunuch,

00:34:03who poured the wine

00:34:04was also arranged by you.

00:34:05Do you think His Majesty

00:34:06and all the court officials

00:34:07are blind?

00:34:09Your Majesty!

00:34:11Oh!

00:34:12Oh!

00:34:12Mustn't be fooled

00:34:13by this fuck spirit!

00:34:15She's just jealous of me!

00:34:17I've put on

00:34:18a sympathy ploy!

00:34:20How would I dare

00:34:21to poison someone openly

00:34:23at the Imperial Banquet?

00:34:25Outrageous!

00:34:26Second attendant,

00:34:26Ashley,

00:34:27at this point,

00:34:27you still dare deny it.

00:34:29That poisoned wine

00:34:29was handed to the noble consort

00:34:31by your own hand.

00:34:32Your Majesty!

00:34:33I am truly innocent!

00:34:34Since the wine

00:34:35was prepared

00:34:35by the Imperial Kitchen,

00:34:37I had no idea

00:34:38I was laced with poison!

00:34:40Since you said

00:34:41the wine was prepared

00:34:42by the Imperial Kitchen,

00:34:43then summon the eunuch

00:34:44who poured it

00:34:44will know

00:34:44after questioning it.

00:34:46Kevin,

00:34:46get your sword over here!

00:34:49Ah!

00:34:53Ah!

00:34:57Talk!

00:34:58Who really poisoned the wine?

00:35:00If there is one false word,

00:35:01I'll have your whole clan executed!

00:35:04It was her!

00:35:04Second attendant,

00:35:05Ashley!

00:35:06It was the servant!

00:35:07How dare you frame me!

00:35:08I'll tear your mouth apart!

00:35:10Your Majesty,

00:35:11please see the truth!

00:35:12This is 300 tails of gold

00:35:13and the porcelain vial

00:35:14for the poison

00:35:15Her Highness gave me last night.

00:35:16She forced me to poison

00:35:17the Her Highness noble consort's wine,

00:35:19promising that once it was done,

00:35:20she'd get me out of the palace.

00:35:21Every word I've said

00:35:22is true I beg

00:35:22for Your Majesty's mercy.

00:35:28You viper!

00:35:29With the witness

00:35:30and evidence!

00:35:31Right here!

00:35:31What more do you have

00:35:32to say for yourself?

00:35:34No!

00:35:35That is not true!

00:35:37Your Majesty!

00:35:38Please,

00:35:39let me explain.

00:35:41Explain.

00:35:42Second attendant,

00:35:43Ashley's withered bell venom

00:35:44from the western region

00:35:46is so potent

00:35:47it can dissolve

00:35:47even bones to water.

00:35:49You wanted me to die

00:35:50without a trace.

00:35:54I've always treated you well.

00:35:56How dare you poison

00:35:57the noble consort

00:35:58right in front of the entire court

00:35:59at the imperial banquet?

00:36:00Do you have any respect

00:36:01for the law or for me?

00:36:02She forced my hand!

00:36:03She stole my position

00:36:04and stole Your Majesty's favor!

00:36:06I am the legitimate daughter

00:36:07of the Judd family!

00:36:08I am the noble consort

00:36:09of Great Tales!

00:36:09She is just a lowly,

00:36:10illegitimate daughter!

00:36:11You are utterly

00:36:12beyond redemption.

00:36:14Even now,

00:36:14you dare to slander Sophia!

00:36:17Have you forgotten

00:36:18what happened

00:36:19on the Snow Mountain?

00:36:20I risked my life

00:36:20to save you!

00:36:21You promised to love me forever!

00:36:23You can't kill me

00:36:24for this wretch!

00:36:25All you do

00:36:25is hold that debt over me!

00:36:27What else can you do?

00:36:28My gratitude

00:36:29has long been worn

00:36:30thin by your venomous heart!

00:36:31You vicious woman!

00:36:41Okay, there!

00:36:43I'm sorry!

00:36:44I'm sorry!

00:36:50Second attendant Ashley,

00:36:52what trick are you playing now?

00:36:53The backlash of the

00:36:54withered bell venom

00:36:55amplified by strong wine.

00:36:56Ashley Judd,

00:36:57that face you cherish

00:36:58so much will be ruined.

00:37:00Help!

00:37:01Leave the physician!

00:37:02Summon the Imperial Physician!

00:37:04Oh, my face!

00:37:12It hurts so much!

00:37:14My face!

00:37:17Oh, my God!

00:37:20Oh, no!

00:37:22What is wrong with the face?

00:37:29What kind of monster is this?

00:37:31I shared the same bed with you

00:37:33every single day before.

00:37:35My face!

00:37:36What is wrong with my face?

00:37:39Your Majesty!

00:37:40Your Majesty,

00:37:41please look at me!

00:37:42I am your Ashley!

00:37:44Get away!

00:37:45Don't come near me!

00:37:46Guards,

00:37:46drag this monster away

00:37:48from me now!

00:37:49No!

00:37:49I am not the monster!

00:37:51I am the most beautiful

00:37:53woman in great time!

00:37:55Sophia Judd,

00:37:56it is to me!

00:37:57Second attendant Ashley,

00:37:58evil deeds

00:37:59always bring their own ruin.

00:38:00To maintain your looks,

00:38:01you secretly took the forbidden drug

00:38:03from the western regions.

00:38:04Now you are suffering the backlash.

00:38:06It is what you deserve.

00:38:07Oh, dear,

00:38:07I will put you up

00:38:10even at the ghost!

00:38:15What are you standing around for?

00:38:17Drag this disgusting thing

00:38:18out of my sight!

00:38:18Don't sully the Hall of Supreme Harmony!

00:38:22Your Majesty!

00:38:23You can't do this to me!

00:38:24I am the Judd family's

00:38:25legitimate daughter!

00:38:27Wait!

00:38:28Sophia,

00:38:28this vile woman

00:38:29has already gotten her karma.

00:38:30What more do you want?

00:38:31Your Majesty!

00:38:32Poisoning me

00:38:32is merely one of her many crimes

00:38:34she is charged

00:38:34with a death penalty offense

00:38:37for messing around

00:38:38in the harem

00:38:38and deceiving Your Majesty.

00:38:39A death penalty offense?

00:38:40Explain yourself clearly.

00:38:42Ian,

00:38:43bring the person in.

00:38:45I am Noah Lee!

00:38:46Greetings!

00:38:47Your Majesty!

00:38:48Noah Lee!

00:38:49How did he get brought

00:38:50into the main hall?

00:38:51It is over!

00:38:52It is all over!

00:38:53Who are you?

00:38:54Sophia?

00:38:55Why did you bring

00:38:56some country bumpkin

00:38:57to court?

00:38:57Your Majesty,

00:38:58why not ask

00:38:59Noah Lee yourself

00:39:00what his real connection is?

00:39:03To lofty second attendant Ashley.

00:39:06Your Majesty!

00:39:07I know her!

00:39:07She is my wife

00:39:08who looked down

00:39:09on my poverty

00:39:10Ashley Judd

00:39:11eloped with me!

00:39:18No!

00:39:19I don't know him!

00:39:20He is spouting nonsense!

00:39:21Your Majesty!

00:39:22Please don't believe him!

00:39:24I'd recognize you

00:39:25even if you were ashes!

00:39:26You have a coin-sized

00:39:27red birthmark

00:39:28on your rear!

00:39:28Don't you?

00:39:33You'll say that again?

00:39:35Who is she married to?

00:39:37Your Majesty!

00:39:38Please spare my life

00:39:39by telling the truth!

00:39:40Back then,

00:39:40she thought the Judd family

00:39:41had too many rules

00:39:42and I was a strong guy!

00:39:43SB,

00:39:44she stole silver from home

00:39:45and eloped with me!

00:39:46Shut up!

00:39:47You country bumpkin!

00:39:48How dare you slither me!

00:39:49I'll kill you!

00:39:50I am lying!

00:39:51You came back

00:39:51to the village with me!

00:39:52You hated me

00:39:53for being poor you cursed!

00:39:54And shouted at me

00:39:55every single day later!

00:39:56You even got pregnant!

00:39:57But you hated

00:39:57that I was a loser!

00:39:58You drank the important room

00:39:59to get rid of the baby!

00:40:00How could this be?

00:40:01An abortion?

00:40:03How dare you!

00:40:04Your Majesty!

00:40:05I have the divorce letter

00:40:06I wrote for her!

00:40:07She was a gold digger

00:40:08and disloyal!

00:40:09I divorced her long ago

00:40:10who knew she'd sneak

00:40:11back to the capital!

00:40:12And she become

00:40:13Your Majesty's woman!

00:40:16I,

00:40:17the son of heaven,

00:40:18actually treated

00:40:19a country bumpkin's

00:40:20cast-off wife

00:40:21as the love of my life!

00:40:22and neglected

00:40:23my true virtuous wife!

00:40:24What a joke!

00:40:25Your Majesty!

00:40:26He forced me!

00:40:27I was coerced!

00:40:28Your Majesty!

00:40:29My heart belongs

00:40:30only to you!

00:40:31Second attendant Ashley,

00:40:32you spin quite a tale

00:40:33if you were really forced!

00:40:34Why did you steal

00:40:35the family's silver?

00:40:36And why aboard the child

00:40:37you clearly saw

00:40:38Noah Leek

00:40:38couldn't pass the exam?

00:40:40So you ran back

00:40:40to the capital

00:40:41hoping to use

00:40:41that pretty face

00:40:42to keep swindling

00:40:43his majesty's wealth

00:40:44in favor!

00:40:44You witch!

00:40:45You vile witch!

00:40:46How dare you

00:40:47make a fool of me!

00:40:52The woman I treasured

00:40:53above all

00:40:54turned out to be

00:40:55a disgraced woman

00:40:56who ran off

00:40:57with a country bumpkin

00:40:57had an abortion

00:40:58and was cast aside

00:40:59by her husband!

00:41:00I actually treasured

00:41:01such a disgraced woman

00:41:02as a precious gem

00:41:03and neglected Sophia

00:41:04for her sake!

00:41:05Your Majesty

00:41:14The very thought

00:41:15of having shared

00:41:15a bed with you

00:41:16makes me sick

00:41:17to my stomach!

00:41:19Please calm down

00:41:20Your Majesty!

00:41:22her sordid past

00:41:23at all costs

00:41:24your Imperial favor!

00:41:25It is just a pity

01:04:57noble

01:04:58consort

01:05:28love for the late emperor was as deep as the sea now she has died for her lord. She is

01:05:32truly a

01:05:33model for the entire harem. By my decree as empress dowager, posthumously elevate noble consort judge

01:05:38to imperial noble consort. Grant her the posthumous title, virtuous and chaste. With the rights of an

01:05:43imperial noble consort, she shall be interred in the imperial mausoleum.

01:05:47How wise of her fantasy! How wise of her fantasy! May the noble consort be remembered for air! May the

01:05:50noble consort be remembered for air!

01:05:50Sophia, this is all I can do for you now. May your journey be free and boundless with no more

01:05:56shackles.

01:06:02Officer, this card is from the palace of compassionate peace heading out of town on her majesty the

01:06:08empress dowager's orders. Let it pass.

01:06:15Farewell, great chaos noble consort.

01:06:24So lively here. We've been trapped in the deep palace for years every day.

01:06:28With high walls. And cold halls. Every step was scheming hearts. Every night was fear. And anxiety. Turns out this

01:06:35simple. Ordinary life full of trivial mortal warmth.

01:06:38are the rarest and steadiest joy in the world. This is the world of the living vibrant and warm with

01:06:42hard smoke and vitality.

01:06:44That gilded, magnificent imperial palace looks splendid and peerless. Supreme and unmatched. But in reality, it is a cold, dead

01:06:51silent, man-eating gorgeous tune from now on.

01:06:54Towering palace walls. Endless court intrigue. Hollow titles of emperor and empress. And all tangled love and hatred will fade

01:07:01into nothing. Your power struggles, schemes, grudges and affections have nothing to do with me anymore.

01:07:06Towering palace. Endless court.

01:07:24Stop the carriage. Who is inside? What is your business leaving the city?

01:07:36Alright, go on. The roads aren't safe these days. Be careful.

01:07:41Thanks, officer.

01:07:53We're finally out. The sky's the limit now. Where do we go from here?

01:07:58To Lior Inn. Buy a place with a courtyard. Open a little clinic. Practice medicine and help people.

01:08:06Alright, your servant. No. From now on, I will be Miss Judd's herb, picking assistant.

01:08:14Good. Ian, drive the carriage. We're going to live a life of our own.

01:08:38Auntie, your rheumatism is from years of hard work. It is nothing serious. Get a few doses of this prescription.

01:08:44Go home and soak your feet in hot water often. It'll ease the pain.

01:08:47Thank you. Miss Judd, you are truly a living bodhisattva. This town owes you everything.

01:08:52You are too kind. I am doing my duty as a healer. Ian, take her to get the medicine.

01:09:02Sure thing. Here you go. Please take care.

01:09:09Miss Judd, just heard some traveling merchants say the new emperor's coronation ceremony in the capital was a real spectacle.

01:09:16The empress dowager is ruling from behind the screen, managing the court with perfect order.

01:09:20As for the late emperor and that deposed consort business, no one even mentions it anymore.

01:09:26The past feels like a distant dream. The winds of the capital can't reach these layering waterways.

01:09:32Ian, check the ledger. We'll close up early today. Let's go buy some Osmanthus cakes.

01:09:37You got it.

01:09:38Once, I believed a woman's fate could only be swayed by her family's interests and a man's favor.

01:09:46They wanted me as a stand-in, wanted me as a pawn, and wanted me to wither away in this

01:09:52deep palace.

01:09:53But I was determined to carve a path to survival right in this dead-end game, in this world.

01:09:58There has never been any savior. The only one who can save me is myself.

01:10:08The only one who can save me is myself.

01:10:11The only one who can save me is a child, the only one who can save me.

01:10:13The only one who can save me is myself.
