寵妃仗著生下龍子，居然敢和皇后叫板，哪料太后一串銀手鐲讓她認清地位！

This is the full-month present Empress and Emperor granted? Yes. All by the rule. Nothing more and nothing less. When Seventh Prince was one month old, they were given ten times more. Why do they play by the rule now when it comes to me? Why are you crying? Here, take him. Quickly. What’s the use of crying? It’s better to make a couple of cat cries like Seventh Prince to win favor from His Majesty. Since his birth, His Majesty personally granted the name Yongcong. The Eighth Prince is already a month old, and finally the Internal Affairs Bureau gave him the name Yongxuan. Don’t take me as someone who doesn’t understand semantics. What does xuan mean? It means “second-class jade”! Don’t be upset. How can I not be upset? His Majesty only cares about that sickly kid. He won’t even bat an eye to Eighth Prince. Precisely! I heard from the servants outside, that our Eighth Prince was born on Ghost Festival day. But that the Seventh Prince was born on Buddha’s birthday! One is a ghost, and one’s a Buddha… What nonsense! Those people outside are saying that to flatter the Seventh Prince! You dare to say that too? I know my mistake. Ying’er! What are you doing standing there? Get in here! What’s the sneaking around for? Replying to Your Highness, Royal Physician said you just passed the full month. (postpartum period) You need to wipe the body with hot ginger water to prevent body weakening and chilling. I just boiled this water. The night the Eighth Prince was born, why didn’t you invite His Majesty here? You useless thing. You may withdraw! I greet Your Majesty. Everyone, you may rise. Your Majesty finally remembered that today is Yongxuan’s first month birthday. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival day and Yongxuan’s first month. Of course I would come and see you two. It’s so hot, and you could go straight to Changchun Palace. Why do you insist on coming to the Imperial Garden? Imperial Garden’s jade lilies should be blooming soon. Since it’s too early to pay the morning visit, let’s go see first. Yes. Greetings to Noble Consort. The Eighth Prince greets Noble Consort Xian. The Eighth Prince is growing so well. Thank you for your praise. Ying’er. I’m here. Stupid girl. It’s so hot and you’re lazy about fanning. What a sloth. Consort Jia, a palace maid who isn’t swift at a chore doesn’t require your anger. I’m just reprimanding a maid. Noble Consort Xian, what’s there for you to ache about? His Majesty is arriving! Greetings to Your Majesty. Greetings to Your Majesty. It’s so hot, why are you talking here? I was just joking with Noble Consort Xian. You are heading to visit Seventh Prince, Your Majesty? Yes. Yongcong is docile and cute. I miss him so much when I don’t see him for a day. My Eighth Prince misses his brother too. I was going to go and greet Her Highness the Empress too. What’s that sound? Your Majesty, I think a palace maid got slapped. She can’t bear her pain on her face. It was my failure to manage strictly and someone disturbed His Majesty. Shut up. Yes. The Empress and I are always generous with our servants. I’ve never heard of a palace maid getting slapped so hard she can’t bear the pain. Jin Zhong, let me see. Yes. Your Majesty, it must be her. She looks sharp enough. Under the trumpet creeper vines, she seems to resemble you somewhat. Your Majesty, allow me to say something out of my place. This palace maid has an auspicious image. She really does bear resemblance to Noble Consort Xian between the brows. But she doesn’t compare to the elegance of Her Highness Noble Consort Xian. What are you waiting for? Greet His Maejsty. Greetings to Your Majesty from Qixiang Palace’s Maid Ying’er. Ying’er! Which “ying”? My surname is Wei. My original name is Yanwan. It is “yanwan” as in a good hour. Ying’er is the name granted to me by my mistress, Using the “ying” of the cherry blossom. Your face is red. You got pinched? No. Mistress is light-handed. It is because my skin is white that it looks red. What an ingrate of a girl. I saw that you were slow and ill at service, so I lightly pinched you. Your putting on this show is for who to see? This injury on her hand is a light pinch too? Your Majesty, I know my error. I was just brash when I was pregnant that I hit her. Her old wounds coupled with new wounds. I don’t think you only hit her when you were pregnant. Your Majesty. You said your name is Ying’er. It was Consort Jia who named you? Mistress granted me a new name out of kindness. Preposterous! You clearly knew Noble Consort Xian’s old name was Qingying. You named her that? It’s truly offensive! Your Majesty, I didn’t mean to. I didn’t think about that. You don’t need to be called Ying’er anymore. Go back to your original name of Yanwan, and you don’t need to go back to Qixiang Palace anymore. Yes. “Good-hour” Yanwan. You’ve studied? A few years ago, I was in Noble Consort Chun’s palace serving the First Prince, and I studied a bit alongside him. At the time, you also talked to me, Your Majesty. I’m already twenty-two years in age now. Your Majesty, Yanwan is at a good age to leave the palace to return to her home. Perhaps Your Majesty can grant her a marriage, possibly to an Imperial guard? This way she can be consoled for the sufferings in the palace. Ruyi, I think she’s very sharp. I will take her to the Yanxin Palace Hall to be a palace maid. What do you think? How about we ask Miss Yanwan instead? Wei Yanwan, you needn’t be scared. Be bold, and tell us if you want His Majesty to release you from the palace with a marriage? Her Highness Noble Consort Xian is asking you a question. Since I entered the palace, everything is Your Majesty’s. I wish to serve Your Majesty. Great. Jin Zhong, take her back to serve in front and teach her the rules. – Yes.
– Your Majesty. What? You don’t want to release her? I don’t dare. You don’t need to go to Changchun Palace anymore. Go back to your own palace and repent! You may leave us! I take my leave. Your Majesty, then I will take Miss Yanwan to Yangxin Palace. Alright. Your Majesty, you really care about that Yanwan. Consort Jia bullies her with intention to mock you. I transferred her to my palace and Consort Jia knows my intent. She won’t be so pompous anymore. I thank Your Majesty. I will go with you to Changchun Palace. I feel a bit tired and I want to rest. I’ll go later. Alright. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com What are you thinking, Mistress? Are you thinking about Consort Jia playing with your name. Or thinking about His Majesty arranging sending Yanwan to his palace? Neither. I just thought of Ling Yunche’s request. Wei Yanwan has left Qixiang Palace. But Ling Yunche and Yanwan might be impossible. But His Majesty, if he is fond of someone, he could’ve just sent decree to take her. Why would he need to have someone teach her rules of the palace? Though it’s true, I saw how Wei Yanwan was. You intentionally brought up Guard Ling but you couldn’t stop her. Mistress Yu also said it before. This Wei Yanwan has her eyes on His Majesty. This time, I fear… What happened today, you had better let Ling Yunche be aware. Yes. But telling him doesn’t change anything. Ling Yunche won’t be able to keep her. I hope Ling Yunche won’t be tormented like last time. When Noble Consort Xian asked you earlier, why did you hesitate? Nothing. I was just scared of saying something wrong and courting His Majesty’s dislike. Then you can be assured, His Majesty likes you. This is Imperial Palace’s clothing. Change into it. Eunuch Jin Zhong, I’m in Yangxin Hall now. What am I, exactly? What are you? That is up to your own skill. How did you answer me then? If this doesn’t succeed, then you will be with me quietly. If this succeeds, then you will thank me with your lifelong glory. You’re only half a step into your smooth path. Don’t slip and fall off the cloud now. Eunuch Jin Zhong, please teach me well. You’re only a palace maid even though you’re in Yangxin Palace now. You are not successful. Only when His Majesty takes you as a concubine, that you will have a good path waiting for you. Got that? I understand. You’re smart enough. Change and dress up nicely. Send tea to His Majesty to thank him. Remember. Seize His Majesty’s heart nicely. I’ve done all I can for you. It’s up to you now how your path will look. His Majesty is inside. Hurry and go in. Your Majesty. I thank Your Majesty for rescuing me, for pitying me. You may rise. Thank you, Your Majesty. I don’t pity just you. It were someone else getting beaten like this, I wouldn’t look the other way either. Consort Jia is indeed a tyrant. She even changed your name to Noble Consort Xian’s maiden name. Your Majesty. I am… I thought Your Majesty remembered back then in Imperial Garden, when you talked to me. What did I say? You said my name was very good. Akin to what was said in the “Beauty Ode”. Regal like the moon. Delicate like spring. I remember now. That day you worked in Noble Consort Chun’s palace, tending to Yonghuang. You finally remember me now. I will die in bliss then. What else did I say? Your Majesty also said that one day, you will seek bliss in the best hour. I said that to you too? Then Your Majesty, your words are that of an emperor, you must be true to them. The Emperor’s words are true, naturally. But what I said then, you mustn’t misunderstand. And it’s been so long. Whether I said that, I can’t know for sure. Your Majesty, forgive me for being wordy. You toil over state affairs day and night. Even your clothing is loose. You need to be measured and the clothes altered. How do you know my body shape? I used to work in the Clothing Warehouse Bureau. I always made your clothes. Your Majesty’s body shape is as clear as the sun to me. Back then, you didn’t tend to Yonghuang yet. Yes. I entered Forbidden City for the reason that Your Majesty is in here. If I can see Your Majesty, no matter how far away you are, I feel warm. Now, you are so close to me. I feel hot. Since my clothing doesn’t fit me anymore, then let’s add some new ones. You measure me. I don’t dare. Why not? I said to measure, then measure. Your Majesty. I deserve death! I deserve death! You came just in time. Send my decree. Promote Palace Maid Wei Yanwan to Second Class Attendant Wei. (T/N Daying Wei, lowest level of the harem ranks) Grant her residence to be Yongshou Palace. She’s to tend to my sleep tonight. And give her two palace maids. Yes. I will take Second Class Attendant Wei to Yongshou Palace. Thank you, Your Majesty. By the rules, you should be sitting in Phoenix-Luan Spring Favor Carriage to Yangxin Palace. Why are you walking there? I got used to walking as palace maid. Step by step with my feet planted on the ground, I feel more steady going to Yangxin Palace. Chunchan, pick out the best prizes sent by the Internal Affairs Bureau to send to Jin Zhong. Yes. You are generous to the old relations. You haven’t forgotten Lancui and I. We will be loyal to you until death. Chunchan, wait for me up front. Yes. Let’s go. Why are you here? I need to go serve in bed. I don’t have much time to talk to you. What you want to say should be said now. Did someone force you? I wanted it myself. You suffered in the greenhouse. You said you wanted to come back to me. I’m asking you…those words you said to me, were they to deceive me? Of course not. At the time, to be able to marry you, it was my best exit and most honest thought. So I was only an exit, is that right? These years, I’ve been harassed and bullied by Consort Jia. Not a day went by that I did not wish to be granted marriage to you so I can escape this ghostly place. But I started to discover… that other than myself, no one can help me. Yanwan. Have you discovered that you’ve changed? I’ve never changed. It was you who didn’t understand me. Long ago, I was a gege of a baoyi clan. But my father lost power and was punished. We could only do harsh work in the palace. I could only be a lowly palace maid. Letting others shame me, and being their servant. These days, I don’t wish to live another one! So you will court a temporary favor with your youth and beauty. Noble Consort Xian is so wise, but she couldn’t be spared from entering the Cold Palace. If one day you have nothing, you will ache so much but have no way to return. When I was in the Clothing Warehouse Bureau, all day, I could only see the highest-quality fabric. I could only work with and iron what I’m not suited to wear. Now look. I’m dressed so beautifully! Others serve in bed, arriving in the Phoenix-Luan Spring Favor Carriage. Do you know why I wanted to walk here? I wanted on my first day… to measure with my own feet the distance from the palace maid of before to tomorrow’s favored concubine. How much further I have to go. You’ve chosen your own road. Walk on it well. I only hope… that you will never live to regret. As long as you don’t block my path, I will walk very far and very well. I know I owe you. Brother Yunche. Second Attendant Wei, you are too cordial. [ Lancui ] Mistress. It’s getting late. I need to go. Your subject, Ling Yunche. Bidding farewell to Second Attendant Wei. [ Yangxin Hall ] Second Attendant Wei, please go change in the dressing room. His Majesty is already waiting for you in the chamber. – Your Highness.
– Sit. This time don’t be like last time, drinking all day and downcast. Such a foolish act, once is enough. Yes. To be heartbroken twice over the same person, it’s indeed not worthwhile. That’s it. Wei Yanwan knows to calculate for herself. You need to calculate for yourself too. I know. How about becoming a guard in the Imperial palace? I came from the Lower Five Banners. (T/N Manchu Banners, eight total) Imperial Palace guards must come from Manchu’s top three banners. I don’t qualify. There are exceptions to all things. Imperial Palace guard is the best prospect for palace guards. If you’re willing, I can help you. But you have to forget about that person in the Imperial Palace. I will obey your instruction. There it is then. Don’t run. Your Majesty. Where am I? I’m here. Don’t run. I will catch you and you’re done. You won’t catch me. Where are you? Your Majesty, let go of me. Alright. Alright. Stop playing. Emperor, since the ninth month, the pox epidemic is going around everywhere, from Hebei slowly to the capital. Children are dying from the illness everywhere, it’s incurable. We must be cautious in the palace. Our founding Emperor died by the pox, (T/N Qing Taizu, better known as Nurhaci) and Emperor Shengzu had it in his youth as well. (T/N Temple name for his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi) We have lots of princes and princesses in the palace, so we must be cautious they don’t contract it. You are right, Royal Mother. Also, in and out of the palace, ban frying of beans and splashing of water to avoid the pox. Empress Dowager, I will give offerings to the Smallpox Deity. The Seventh Prince is weak in health. The entire palace must be on guard. Starting today, no stranger is allowed in Changchun Palace until the smallpox is gone. I understand. Moxin? Yes. You don’t remember? She was Imperial Noble Consort Huixian’s close maid. Of course I remember. Before her death, Imperial Noble Consort Huixian was worried about her, so she sent her to hold a post in the antique room. But I was wondering why she’s looking for us. I don’t know either. But it’s no harm in meeting her, right? A death at home? My mother passed away. Suoxin, get fifty silver taels for Moxin’s mother’s funeral. I will go back to the palace now to retrieve it. Thank you for your favor, instead of decrying me for helping the Imperial Noble Consort to harm you in the past. You were only her maid and at best, you only were following orders. Why should I bother nitpicking with you? I was dishonorable to you. I can only amend this with my death. Just that since Your Highness the Noble Consort is being generous, fifty in silver isn’t enough. After my mother’s funeral, I will have to hold another’s funeral soon after. So you should give me one hundred in silver. How do you mean? My mother died from smallpox. This morning I discovered… I’ve got a few red pox on my arm. So I am staying far away from you. You’ve already got the smallpox, but you’re meeting us? You are not trying to get us to contract the smallpox too, to get revenge for Imperial Noble Consort Huixian? I have always remembered how Imperial Noble Consort Huixian hated the Empress. I promised to her that I would avenge her death with the Empress for her. You’re dying, how will you get revenge? I know. You two mistresses hate the Empress just as Imperial Noble Consort Huixian did. I am not skilled enough, so I am asking for Your Highness’ help. How do you wish us to help? I’m still alive now, besides serving my mother, all I think about is how to complete my late mistress’ request. Finally, now, I have a way. The one in Changchun Palace cares the most about her legitimate heir. Now the Seventh Prince is weak, and he can’t withstand the smallpox. Moxin. This matter is not something I or Consort Yu can do. Sister! Sister, don’t forget how the Empress harmed you. You barely salvaged your life out of the Cold Palace. Don’t be too merciful now. If you’re scared, I will do it. You doing it is not different than my doing it. The Seventh Prince was born ill and his life is difficult. You and I are mothers and we can’t do this. Sister. We can’t. [ Multitude of Glory Gate ] Greetings to Your Highness Noble Consort Xian, Your Highness Consort Yu. Second Attendant Wei. You’re working hard. Your Highness must be cautious of the chill. If you get sick, no one can manage all the affairs of the palace. I am on my way back. I disgust you so much? Second Attendant Wei, I don’t understand your words. Your Highness Noble Consort Xian has always regarded me as someone ungrateful of old relations for future gain, so you are always cold to me. But you don’t know I have my bitter reason. How you walked step by step here, I have seen it all along. What is the bitter part? I heard you were born from the Ula-Nara clan. This clan is glorious and rich. When you were suffering in the Cold Palace, you never forgot your family so you riled yourself up. I am the same as Imperial Concubine Xiang, who came from a similar background. The various sufferings I went through, someone noble like you wouldn’t understand. But I haven’t forgotten my clan, just the same as you. Being mindful of your clan doesn’t mean you had to take this road. Your choice today did indeed betray someone true to you. Someone like me whose clan or family can never bring any glory to himself! I must depend on myself to carve a better future. A true heart. Such a private indulgence! Even if I can’t cut it off, I must cut it off. The road you yourself chose. You just need to walk it happily. Sending away Your Highness. Mistress, why do you care how the Noble Consort treats you? We are nothing to her. How are we nothing? The Empress has been sporting weak health since bearing the Seventh Prince. Noble Consort Xian has the power to manage the six palaces. I must be carefully respecting her. By the way, I said to go look at what kind of conception medicine Imperial Concubine Shu is taking. Did you? I looked into it. Imperial Concubine Shu’s conception medicine is made by the House of Respectful Affairs. I will go take care of it now. Alright. Take Chunchan with you. Who is it? Eunuch Xu. Hello, Eunuch Xu. Oh, what brings you two maidens here. We heard you just got back from His Majesty’s Yangxin Hall. His Majesty flipped Imperial Concubine Shu’s tag? – Indeed.
– Eunuch Xu. Come in. Eunuch Xu, this is conception medicine for Imperial Concubine Shu after serving in bed. Physician Qi had me deliver it. Put it there. After the House of Respectful Affairs boils it, it will be sent tomorrow by Eunuch Jin Bao. – Go back.
– Yes. Second Attendant Wei asked us to come today for a favor. May I speak to you in private? Our mistress said, every time her tag, hers is always in the back. His Majesty can’t see it easily. So tonight we came to see if we can trouble you to find a way that our mistress’ tag can be placed in the front. After Noble Consort Xian, or Consort Jia or Imperial Concubine Shu. That’s fine too. I got it. I can arrange it. Actually Second Attendant Wei is well-favored. Is this needed? Who doesn’t want to be favored longer though? I will thank you on my mistress’ behalf then. No problem. Then we won’t disturb your rest. We need to go back and serve our mistress too. Go slowly. Mistress. Keep it. I will take this medicine tomorrow to the Royal Medicine Court and ask a physician to quietly make up the same prescription. Everyone’s drinking conception medicine in the palace. Only Imperial Concubine Shu’s is granted personally by His Majesty, so it must be very potent. But…Imperial Concubine Shu drinks it each time she tends to him, and we don’t see her pregnant. Then that’s her being unlucky. The Royal Physician already said her health is weak and it won’t be easy to conceive. That’s why she’s drinking conception medicine. You should still look into it in detail, as to whether it’s really a good conception tonic. Yes. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com I’m almost dead. Before I die, I need to tell you a truth. The Empress didn’t want someone as lowly as you to bear the first heir to His Majesty after ascension. So she made you lose the baby. Wasn’t it done by Gao Xiyue? Gao Xiyue was the one who hated me the most. Don’t try to lie for her. My mistress did it indeed. But my mistress acted on the Empress’ orders! Otherwise, even if she were so daring, she wouldn’t touch a royal heir. Then what about Imperial Concubine Yi? The Empress is false and two-faced. She appeared to want to raise Imperial Concubine Yi’s child, but actually she didn’t want another heir to threaten the Second Prince who suffered from asthma. Think about it, without the Empress’ order, why would Imperial Noble Consort Huixian dare to touch the Empress’ person? Think about it in detail, Your Highness Imperial Concubine Mei. My mistress was someone who wore her emotions on her shoulders. (T/N idiom, openly for all to see) How would she comprehend the secret strategy needed to plot murders? The Empress is the one with an evil heart. She had my mistress frame Noble Consort Xian too. Yes. The Empress’ main wife position. She got it from Noble Consort Xian actually. She would naturally really hate Noble Consort Xian. I am about to die, and I won’t spew out nonsense. She made you lose your son. I will give you a clear answer. And I will not die with regret. Okay. Good. I’ve arrived at a point and I finally understand. Yes. Imperial Noble Consort Huixian has already died. The Empress lost the Second Prince, but gave birth to the Seventh Prince. The central palace is really that lucky? She harmed others’ children and won’t pay retribution? Why wouldn’t she? She must! The heavens won’t forgive her. I will not forget her either! Yes. Maybe her karma is right before her. The Seventh Prince. What do you want to do? You must help me. This is newly-washed for Changchun Palace’s nursemaid. You can starch it. Yes. Your Highness. You know what to do? Yes. Don’t you worry, it’s all my doing. Yes. Is Changchun Palace’s clothing ready? Coming. Who is it? Mother Chun. (nursemaid) What is it? Seventh Prince is hungry. He’s crying so loudly, you didn’t hear? Her Highness said to hurry and go over. I’ll come as soon as I change. – So fragrant.
– Yes. Spare the formality. Come. Ruyi. Tonight’s dinner, I’ve prepared all your favorites. So many dishes. Is today some special day? Today is like a small new year’s (meal). You’re working hard managing the six palaces, so I prepared you these dishes to reward you. Then I thank Your Majesty very much. I will eat this entire tableful of food. Today is a small new year’s, so I wish you, health and happiness, long life. Here, Ruyi. Let’s eat. How is it? Delicious. ‫do you remember now? ‫Isn’t this your car? ‫Shan shan, ‫surrender yourself. Escaping
‫isn’t a way to resolve this. ‫If you are too scared to go
‫to the police, I’ll go with you. ‫I have heard the victim isn’t hurt badly.
‫As long as you sincerely apologize… ‫I didn’t do it. I
‫said I didn’t do it. ‫Before leaving the country, I gave the
‫car keys to my sister and only you knew. ‫And the only one who can freely get
‫in and out of my sister’s room is you. ‫Even now, you are still not admitting
‫you’re the one who secretly drove my car. ‫It’s not me. I already
‫said it’s not me. ‫Shan shan, what’s wrong? Why
‫do call me here so urgently? ‫Xue qing, you finally came.
‫This time I have a huge problem. ‫You have to help me. I didn’t do
‫it on purpose. I just wanted to play. ‫But you have to tell
‫me what happened first. ‫That day… I drove
‫tian lang’s car out. ‫I hit a person. ‫Shan shan, you hit a person? ‫I didn’t do it on purpose. I was driving
‫and suddenly this person hit my car. ‫Hit your car. ‫Ohh, I get it now.
‫You have met a scammer. ‫Scammer. Yes, them. ‫They hit onto my car and
‫wanted a lot of money from me. ‫I was afraid then so I
‫just gave them the money. ‫How could you do this? You should’ve call
‫the police first in that kind of situation. ‫I had to go to Singapore for a
‫meeting the next day. If I had ‫called the police, it definitely
‫would’ve affected my schedule. ‫I had to immediately go to school.
‫Even if it wasn’t me who crashed. ‫This rumor would be really
‫bad for my dad and his company. ‫I don’t want tian lang to hate me. Thinking
‫that if it can be resolved by money… ‫So I used money to resolve it. ‫Okay, you thought too much. But isn’t
‫this letting the people go too easily? ‫Right now, the main problem
‫is, I don’t know where tian lang ‫found a picture. He believed
‫firmly that I’m the one who hit them ‫and he wants me to go
‫to the police tomorow. ‫Sister, you have to help me.
‫I’m innocent. You have to help me! ‫How come tian lang didn’t
‫trust his own person? ‫Shan shan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely
‫help you so you won’t be wronged. ‫Are you thinking of
‫shan shan’s problem? ‫Look at this yourself. ‫This isn’t even shan
‫shan crashing into people. ‫This is clearly the
‫aftermath of a fraud. ‫- Where did you get this picture?
‫- I spent money and bought it. ‫Even you got tricked.
‫This group of swindlers ‫already took shan shan’s
‫money and still didn’t stop. ‫Shan shan gave them money? ‫Look, if she didn’t do it then
‫why did she give them money? ‫How come you don’t believe her?
‫Shanshan met a scammer and gave them money. ‫Who sold the picture to you?
‫I’ll call the police to catch them. ‫What you’re saying is that the
‫person who sold me this picture ‫and the victim are together
‫with the purpose to trick me. ‫Of course, why would they take the
‫money and still mention old matters? ‫This bunch of liars is never. ‫They have already succeeded once and
‫still want to succeed a second time. ‫Okay, then I’ll report this to
‫the police and catch all these liars ‫to prevent this from happening
‫endlessly in the future. ‫Nan! ‫- Shan shan!
‫- Nan, I miss you so much. ‫I miss you, too! ‫I heard you came home a long time
‫ago. Why don’t you come and see me? ‫Didn’t you go on vacation? I heard
‫you came back so I came right away. ‫Nan, I bought a gift
‫for you. Do you like it? ‫Oh. ‫To let you go on this
‫expense, sorry to trouble you. ‫Wow, this hat is so beautiful. ‫Nan, I have also bought a gift for
‫tian lang. Can I bring it to his room? ‫- Of course you can.
‫- Go ahead. ‫Who sold the picture to
‫tian lang? I must find him. ‫Where is it? If I can’t find
‫it, it will be troublesome. ‫What to do if it goes
‫to the police station? ‫Even if this can be hidden
‫from tian lang, but it ‫cannot hold out on the police.
‫I can’t let this get big. ‫Shan shan. ‫- Nan.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Why are you flipping
‫through tian lang’s things? ‫Did you make a mess?
‫He will be upset. ‫Nan, please I beg you. ‫Please keep this a
‫secret for me, okay? ‫Please don’t tell tian lang.
‫He will definitely be angry. ‫I didn’t say I will tell him. ‫Tian lang already dislikes me. ‫I am afraid if he knows,
‫he will ignore me forever. ‫What happened between
‫you and tian lang? ‫- Did you guys meet?
‫- Yes. ‫Nan, help me. Please
‫help me. I beg of you. ‫Let’s sit down first. ‫Just what happened? ‫Hey, stop right here! Don’t
‫think you will be leaving today. ‫It’s you again. Are
‫you following me? ‫You came here at a
‫perfect time. There is ‫more than one thing I
‫need to settle with you. ‫We can talk about the rest later.
‫Let’s first discuss your scamming. ‫- Scamming?
‫- I just don’t understand. ‫Aren’t you and ju shan shan
‫friends? How can you do this to her? ‫Really never thought
‫that even though you are ‫so young, you are already
‫full of evil schemes. ‫I didn’t understand a word you said.
‫What does this have to do with shanshan? ‫Let me tell you, I came
‫here today just to ask ‫you on July 23rd who was
‫the one driving this car? ‫What? The money for selling the picture
‫is not enough? You still want more? ‫What money for selling
‫the picture? Say it clearly. ‫You are still acting. ‫I will not be deceived again. ‫Who else is there other than me? ‫You are still pretending? ‫If I gave this picture to the
‫police, then you will know to be afraid. ‫Do what you like. If it
‫doesn’t have anything to do with ‫shanshan, then I won’t have
‫to worry about hurting her. ‫Tomorrow, whoever does not arrive at
‫the police station will be a little dog. ‫I will wait for you tomorrow. ‫What? How can you
‫experience a thing like this! ‫Therefore, I must find that picture.
‫If they take it to the police station… ‫It will be inexcusable
‫no matter what I say. ‫Shan shan, no offense but how can
‫you make such friends? So not genuine. ‫I think she took the florist
‫grandma there on purpose to scam you. ‫Girls these days, just never
‫give up until they reach their goal. ‫She must have wanted to
‫get some money from you. ‫Nan, what should I do? ‫I think what tian lang is doing is
‫correct. We must hold them with the law. ‫But they are together as a group,
‫they can testify for each other. ‫This is practically
‫a scamming team. ‫If my mom was still here, she
‫would let no one bully me like this. ‫I miss my mom! ‫Okay, okay. ‫Shan shan and xin xin
‫are the same age. Will xin ‫xin also be crying like
‫this calling for mom? ‫If she was bullied,
‫will anyone help her? ‫Shan shan, nan will
‫help you pay them back. ‫Nan, you are so nice to me. ‫Set up a time with her. ‫I’d like to see what
‫kind of girl this is. ‫Hello? Shan shan. ‫Really? So many. ‫Of, course. No problem. No, no, no. I
‫will definitely get it there by 10 o’clock. ‫Grandma, a huge order arrived. ‫100 roses. 30
‫pots of poinsettia. ‫So many? Who asked for it? ‫Jushi holiday resort. We must get
‫it there before ten. Let’s hurry. ‫This is all. Please
‫check if it’s correct. ‫Yes, that’s correct. Ms. Qing
‫ling, please come inside with me. ‫Where are we going? You still
‫didn’t pay me for the flowers. ‫Pay inside. ‫It’s here. ‫Thank you. ‫Hello. Is this where
‫I get my payment? ‫I don’t need this much. ‫There is only this much, too. ‫No, I think you are mistaken. ‫There is no more
‫than this, either. ‫If you are sensible,
‫just quickly take it. ‫Greedy people will
‫not have a good end. ‫No, aunty, you must be mistaken. ‫Mom, don’t go, don’t go! ‫- Mom, don’t go!
‫- Let me go! ‫Mom! ‫Aren’t you qing ling? ‫Yes. How do you
‫know? You know me? ‫I understand your background. ‫Grown up in an orphanage.
‫Working at a florist. ‫I heard recently that you and a middle
‫age woman scammed in front of a fancy car. ‫Do you guys also depend on
‫scamming for extra income? ‫What are you saying? What
‫scamming and swindling? ‫Why are you so rushed? ‫You appear to be quite clever. ‫How can you do such a thing? ‫I think this is not what
‫this orphanage taught you. ‫Let me tell you, you are not
‫permitted to insult the orphanage. ‫You are the one humiliating
‫your orphanage’s reputation. ‫I’m warning you. This ¥10,000 is my limit.
‫Please do not trouble my child anymore. ‫Let alone, tricking their money,
‫or else, I won’t be easy on you. ‫You are absurd. ‫I don’t know who you are
‫or who your children are. ‫I just want my flower
‫bill. I won’t take the rest. ‫Huh. See. The
‫fox’s tail shows up. ‫Just now, I have recorded your
‫process of taking the money. ‫This is the proof of
‫you extorting money. ‫I told you, I will just take my flower
‫money. I will not take a penny extra. ‫But this recording, only taped
‫your process of taking the money. ‫Why would you frame
‫me? Just who are you? ‫This is called a
‫tooth for a tooth. ‫Who are you? ‫Who am I, is not important.
‫But I want to remind you, ‫if you want to live a wealthy
‫life, use your own hands. ‫Crooked ways will not prevail. ‫Tell me, if I really hand
‫this recording to the police ‫and let them display
‫it on the web, ‫I wonder how long you can still
‫stay in this city? If I were you, ‫I would take the money,
‫and the case about the ‫car accident will be
‫wiped off once and for all. ‫I will also not give
‫you additional money. ‫Car accident?
‫Grandma’s accident. ‫Just who are you exactly? ‫Don’t forget your evidence. ‫Madam! ‫Madam, this is your belonging.
‫You forgot to take it. ‫What to do? What to do? I must prevent
‫him from going to the police station. ‫- Stop the car.
‫- What? You want to run away? ‫It’s already eleven. Police also
‫need to take a break. Moreover, ‫I am with you from morning till
‫now without time for breakfast. ‫I am hungry to death. Stop
‫the car. I want to eat now. ‫What are you yelling
‫for? When we arrived at the ‫police station, I will get
‫you something to eat nearby. ‫I can’t wait. Just that one! ‫Just that one! What are
‫you doing? It’s dangerous. ‫Just eat a bit randomly.
‫Quickly stop the car. ‫Hey, shan shan. ‫Are you sure you
‫want to eat here? ‫I am so hungry. Let’s just
‫randomly eat a little here. ‫The food safety here
‫is definitely not ‫qualified. If you want
‫to eat, eat by yourself. ‫Then you can just wait here. I
‫have been waiting for you all morning. ‫- Boss, a bowl of noodle please.
‫- Okay, just a moment. ‫Never mind. Pain it shall be. ‫- Your noodle is ready.
‫- Thank you. ‫Shan shan, what happened? ‫- My foot… so painful.
‫- How is it? ‫Is it alright? ‫Bring me to the hospital. ‫Thank you, doctor. ‫It hurts so much. Why am I so unlucky? To
‫get into this state just by eating a meal. ‫Okay, okay. Stop whining.
‫Oh right, shan shan ‫you wait here for me. I
‫will go get the prescription. ‫Why don’t you take the
‫suit off? It’s so dirty. ‫You will get the
‫inside wet, too. ‫Please hold it for me. ‫There are a lot of people. It will probably
‫take a couple minutes. Wait here for me. ‫You tell me that you hurt yourself
‫like this for such a small matter. ‫If you crash into
‫someone, just apologize, ‫and give more compensation.
‫It will not look good ‫if you have something
‫like this on your record. ‫You are the heir to
‫shancheng enterprise. ‫Don’t worry. I am the daughter of
‫ju shiping. I won’t bring you shame. ‫I will definitely
‫settle this matter right. ‫As long as I have this,
‫everything will be fine. ‫You already made yourself like
‫this. What is there to be happy about? ‫To do big things, you cannot
‫just depend on petty tricks. ‫To inherit shancheng enterprise,
‫you still have lots to learn. ‫Dad, can’t you not
‫always crack me down. ‫Assistant manager Yang. ‫Why are you here?
‫Where is shan shan? ‫Director ju sent shan shan back. ‫Did he give you my suit? ‫No, I don’t know. ‫Gosh, my car keys are
‫still in the jacket. ‫It’s assistant manager Yang. ‫It’s surely duan tian lang
‫calling for his jacket. You just ‫tell him that the jacket is at the
‫dry cleaner and tell him to fetch it. ‫I still don’t know
‫what that aunty is. ‫So you were here! ‫Sorry, I am late. ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫She still has the nerve to
‫ask. It’s all because of you! ‫I just came. What does
‫it have to do with me? ‫Okay, I don’t want to
‫argue with you. Didn’t ‫you say to go to the
‫police station? Let’s go. ‫What to do when we go there?
‫The picture is washed into a mess. ‫Are you doing this on purpose?
‫Look at the time right now! ‫I already apologized to
‫you. What else do you want? ‫What do I want? I want
‫to ask what you want! ‫You person… ‫- Manager…
‫- What? ‫Can you lower your voice a
‫bit. So many people are watching. ‫- Come with me.
‫- What are you doing? ‫We will find a quiet place to
‫discuss this matter in detail. ‫What are you looking at? ‫Vice president, just
‫now manager grabbed a girl ‫away. ‫- What are you doing? Let go!
‫- Sit down! ‫What are you doing? ‫You pervert! Believe it, I will
‫call the police to capture you. ‫You watch too much TV. ‫If it’s not that I
‫don’t have the evidence, ‫I can also call the
‫police to capture you. ‫I didn’t do anything wrong. ‫He’s a pervert. This
‫place is dangerous. ‫No. I must run. ‫Hey! ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫Tian lang! ‫You guys… what
‫are you guys doing? ‫Tian lang, this is your private
‫resting chamber. How did she come in? ‫Older sister,
‫don’t misunderstand. ‫You pervert! You are not human! ‫Tian lang, what is going on? ‫Older sister, don’t misunderstand.
‫I am not interested in that woman. ‫I have a smell? You are the
‫one who has a smell on your body! ‫Unfathomable! Taking
‫advantage of me. If I had ‫known earlier I should
‫have kicked him more. ‫The east villa including decorations,
‫all finished reconstruction. ‫We can start operating it as a
‫villa hotel starting next week. ‫Inform the planning department, to initiate
‫completely the villa hotel advertisement. ‫Yes, general manager. ‫What did the chief
‫editor say to you? ‫Just the usual. Responsibility ‫and enthusiasm. ‫He is taking care of you. ‫He wants me to write
‫an advertisement. ‫Me! Ding hai. ‫I am a senior
‫financial journalist. ‫Zhengtai hotel
‫villa advertisement. ‫How did you know? ‫I am responsible for the photos. ‫Let’s go, partner. ‫We met before. Do
‫you still remember? ‫What about it? ‫This style is decent. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫I am not a shameless person
‫depending on women to eat. ‫I have a proper job. ‫I am just missing a
‫friend treating me to wine. ‫I don’t have interest
‫in being your friend. ‫My girlfriend just gave
‫me her wedding invitation. ‫I wished her happiness. ‫You are talking about liu yali? ‫She told me that you
‫two are just friends. ‫She told it to you this way? ‫So, I was always
‫one-sided this whole time. ‫What about you? ‫Why are you not happy? ‫I don’t have interest in
‫exchanging concerns with you. ‫A stranger who is someone you are not
‫responsible for or need to be worried about ‫is sometimes safer
‫compared to close people. ‫Close people. ‫Who are close people? ‫Family? Friend? Or lover? ‫Who can you believe? ‫Stranger. ‫You do not need to suspect what I
‫say, because I have no link with you. ‫Therefore, no matter what
‫you say, I will believe you. ‫Huh? Qing ling,
‫why are you here? ‫I am here to give ding
‫hai a midnight snack. But ‫I’ve been calling
‫him with no answer. ‫And he doesn’t like me
‫to disturb him upstairs. ‫How about you call
‫him down for me? ‫Ding hai is in a
‫meeting upstairs. ‫How about I bring it up for you? ‫That’s fine, too. I made
‫lots. Share some with everyone. ‫Thank you. ‫It’s getting late. Why
‫don’t you go back soon? ‫Be careful on the way. ‫Lying to a innocent girl. ‫Ding hai, keep sinning. ‫Do you want to go for a ride? ‫Where’s your car? ‫Thanks. ‫I didn’t drive my car today,
‫because I came to get drunk. ‫Then, what are we
‫going to do now? ‫You treated me to liquor, how
‫about I treat you now to tea? ‫Not buying drunkness anymore? ‫Where are we going? ‫Are you willing to
‫trust a stranger? ‫I would rather buy
‫a lottery ticket. ‫Let’s go. ‫- Careful.
‫- Where are we? ‫This place is not
‫officially open, but ‫my home is here. ‫Your home? ‫Which one? ‫What you mean by home is
‫that this house is yours? ‫That’s right. ‫You… ‫That’s right. This is
‫the key to the villa. ‫- What’s wrong?
‫- How come it is in his hand? ‫Can you give me
‫the key back now? ‫How big is your
‫house? How much is it? ‫What property right? ‫What are you laughing about? ‫Taxi! ‫Hey. Eh? You. ‫What are you doing? ‫Drive. ‫Hey, hey. Are you
‫out of your mind? ‫Crazy person. ‫Still investigating
‫the car accident? ‫It must be lili’s
‫big mouth again. ‫I do not blame the driver. ‫Why is that? ‫Two reasons. ‫First, because of you. ‫Because of the car accident,
‫we got close, isn’t that right? ‫And, one more reason. ‫Everyone has their
‫own moral sense. ‫This hit-and-run driver runs away
‫because he knows he made a mistake. ‫But, if you know you are
‫wrong, then you should not run. ‫Okay, okay. Look at us. ‫Sitting here appreciating
‫the view is a fortune. ‫Sometimes, letting go is
‫easier to receive happiness. ‫Try letting go. ‫Grandma already
‫said it. Then, okay. ‫Okay. ‫Ah. You mean the hit-and-run
‫driver’s sister crashed into grandma xu? ‫Older sister was scared at
‫the time, that’s why she run. ‫But, she knows she is wrong
‫now and wants to compensate. ‫She asked me for
‫help. I must help her. ‫She is my sister-in-law. ‫You already have a family. You
‫should understand my feelings. ‫But then, grandma xu
‫will be so wronged. ‫I will compensate her. ‫How can qing ling
‫accept your money? ‫Anyway, can you help me
‫keep this a secret? Okay? ‫Fine, fine. ‫Just pretend I never came here,
‫and you didn’t tell me anything. ‫I will just pretend I
‫didn’t hear anything. ‫I just know you
‫are the best, lili. ‫Okay, I already
‫told you everything. ‫What to do now is up to you. ‫Qing ling is still waiting for me
‫to transfer money. I will go now. ‫Wait, lili. ‫What did you say? You are going
‫to transfer money to qing ling? ‫Quick, sit down. Sit down! ‫How about this? I give
‫you the money and you ‫can transfer it into
‫qing ling’s account. ‫Then she will accept it. ‫Don’t forget to
‫give me the receipt. ‫Is this a good idea? ‫Qing ling will
‫definitely come to find me. ‫If anything happens,
‫just tell her to find me. ‫Lili. Lili. ‫Are you crazy? Or are you blind? ‫Do you know how much
‫extra money you transferred? ‫You transferred an extra
‫¥100,000, a whole ¥100,000. ‫You scared me! ‫Shan shan wanted to coddle
‫up to her sister-in-law, ‫so that’s why she’s
‫willing to spend that much? ‫What are you saying? ‫Shan shan gave you this money. ‫For grandma xu. ‫Shan shan. Why
‫would she do that? ‫She sees you going around about
‫the car accident. She thinks ‫you are tiring yourself. She
‫doesn’t want you to be tired. ‫I think what she says is right.
‫This case has already passed so long. ‫I think we need to
‫think about the reality. ‫If you have this money, you
‫will be better financially. ‫And, making perfume
‫costs a lot of money. ‫But, I can’t take this
‫money from shan shan. ‫Listen, shan shan thinks this
‫incidence is related to her boyfriend. ‫So, she must feel guilty inside. ‫Qing ling, I think
‫we can let it go. ‫I can’t talk clearly with
‫you. I’m going to find her. ‫Huh? I… ‫Qing ling! ‫Shan shan? I’m here. ‫- How is your foot?
‫- Much better. ‫How come you are late when
‫you arranged our meeting? ‫Sorry, sorry. I’m here now. ‫Right, give me your
‫bank account number. ‫I’m returning the money to you. ‫Why are you so stubborn? ‫Shan shan, thank you. ‫I accept your kindness, but it doesn’t
‫make sense for me to take your money. ‫If you do not agree, I will go back to get
‫cash and make another trip to your house. ‫I really can’t argue over you.
‫I will message it over later. ‫Then what are we going to do
‫about grandma’s car accident? ‫Grandma said it’s easier to
‫obtain happiness by letting go. ‫So, on second thought ‫I decided to temporarily
‫not pursue this matter. ‫- You really decided to let go?
‫- Yes. ‫Tian lang, you are home. ‫Why did you just come back? Shan shan has
‫been waiting for you here for a long time. ‫Your foot is better? ‫Almost. Thank you for sending
‫me to the hospital that day. ‫Shan shan, why
‫should you thank him? ‫If he did not trust the
‫words of a liar and drag you ‫to the police station, this
‫situation would not happen. ‫This case is still not certain. ‫Why are you still
‫serious about this? ‫Qing ling is just a criminal. ‫Last time, I almost got
‫trapped by her and an old lady. ‫If you don’t believe me, you can ask
‫lawyer chen. He helped me resolve this. ‫The same scammer. ‫- Really?
‫- You still do not believe it? ‫The swindler asked shan shan
‫for another hundred thousand. ‫Shan shan, show him
‫the bank receipt. ‫Xue qing. ‫What are you dawdling
‫about? Show it to him. ‫If you look at this you
‫will know I did not lie. ‫Tian lang, I know
‫that girl, too. ‫Last time, I gave her ten thousand
‫dollars but she did not take it. ‫I think she must
‫feel it’s too little. ‫This time she asked shan
‫shan for ten thousand. ‫I think she will
‫never let off shan shan. ‫Take a look. ‫You do not believe the words of the
‫three of us. You just believe in a picture. ‫Didn’t you also
‫buy that picture? ‫Taking it this way, the four
‫of us have all been lied to. ‫We are all victims. ‫Is your brain not working? ‫Why would you give
‫her money again? ‫For people like this,
‫the more you listen to ‫them, the more they think
‫you are easy to bully. ‫I was afraid she would
‫make trouble for you again. ‫Stupid. ‫I will settle this
‫matter out for you. ‫See? Tian lang agreed
‫to come forward for you. ‫This is an opportunity for
‫both of you to develop feelings. ‫I didn’t think you would help
‫shan shan. So warm-hearted. ‫I have hoped tian lang
‫would distant himself ‫from qing ling by
‫showing the receipt. ‫But who knows, it’s
‫just the opposite. ‫Tian lang. ‫How many times have I said it?
‫Do you not know how to knock? ‫Eat some fruit. ‫Tian lang, what do you
‫want to do about qing ling? ‫We cannot let her alone. ‫She is making trouble
‫for us again and again. ‫If we do not fight back, she
‫will think we are afraid of her. ‫You really want
‫to call the police? ‫Why not? ‫Lawyer chen and your bank receipt
‫is enough to send her to prison. ‫Tian lang, don’t be like this.
‫I am friends with her after all. ‫Did your brain break down? ‫If she really thinks of you as a
‫friend, will she bully you again and again? ‫She has her reasons to do this. ‫You don’t know. She’s an orphan. ‫Back in school, in
‫order to buy stuff for ‫children in the orphanage,
‫she sold wild flowers. ‫That’s why she thinks money
‫is important. It is reasonable. ‫Tian lang, just let
‫her off this time. Okay? ‫Just because she has
‫a reason does not mean ‫she can be excused
‫when she commits crimes. ‫Tian lang, for the sake of
‫that I am her friend, let her go. ‫I promise not to spoil
‫her again in the future. ‫If you are not speaking,
‫I will take it as a yes. ‫You are so good to me. ‫I am so moved. ‫What are you doing? ‫Say it, why do you
‫want to meet me? ‫It’s my first time seeing
‫someone as shameless as you. ‫Appearing so righteous when
‫you have done something guilty. ‫I don’t have time
‫to argue with you. ‫I am busier than you are. ‫Sign this. ‫What is it? ‫Guarantee letter. ‫Promise not to see
‫shan shan anymore. ‫Promise not to stir trouble
‫again because of the car accident. ‫No matter what the reason, promise not
‫to scam and earn money by hard work only. ‫What is this? ‫For you, it is a guarantee
‫letter. For me, it is a safeguard. ‫I agreed with shan
‫shan to let you go. ‫But I don’t think you
‫know how to be thankful. ‫To prevent you from scamming
‫again, I made this guarantee letter. ‫Sign it. ‫I will only keep my
‫promise after you sign this. ‫What promise? ‫To let you off. ‫You only have one chance. ‫Crazy person. It’s me
‫who is letting you off. ‫If it’s not for
‫shan shan’s sake, ‫I would have
‫already beat you up. ‫For the car accident
‫matter… for assaulting me. ‫Shut up. ‫That is a misunderstanding. I do not
‫allow you to make slanderous remarks. ‫Dare to act but afraid
‫to take responsibility. ‫Ah, I know. ‫This is how you put someone
‫in the seat of a criminal ‫and then threaten them. ‫I believe not too long from now,
‫you will say I sexually assaulted you., ‫and then demand
‫compensation from me. ‫What do you mean?
‫Are you insulting me? ‫I don’t know why shan shan
‫fancies someone like you. ‫The air stinks. ‫My mood is so much better. ‫This smell… ‫This. ‫You! ‫Return it to you! ‫Why does this smell
‫brighten someone’s mood? ‫- Qing ling.
‫- Ah hai. ‫Here. Your share of the money. ‫Thanks. ‫Why are you so polite
‫with me. Is ¥2000 enough? ‫Enough. They are not
‫out of money anyway. ‫But this not the same. This is
‫the daughter of your higher up. ‫You should buy more gifts.
‫Maybe they will be nicer to you. ‫You really believe in anything. ‫This is the money for
‫the woman I want to pursue. ‫It’s really enough. ‫This is bad. I can’t believe I
‫forgot my appointment with aunty. ‫I will call my mom and
‫tell her you are with me. ‫Let her wait a bit. ‫No. It’s my fault anyway.
‫I should have arrived. ‫How about…? Okay,
‫can you call aunty? ‫Help me persuade her. I am
‫afraid she is angry at me. ‫Did my mother upset you？ ‫of course not. ‫It’s because I am too stupid. ‫Ah hai, help me
‫think of something. ‫What can I do to
‫make aunty happy? ‫Stupid, you are
‫doing good already. ‫Qing ling, don’t
‫blame my mother. ‫She had a hard time
‫bringing me up by herself. ‫She is hard on you
‫because she loves me. ‫Don’t worry, of
‫course I know that. ‫You are a kind person. ‫She will understand you over
‫time. She will definitely like you. ‫Okay, then I will go now. Stop the sedan. Greetings to Your Majesty. Rise. Xiyue, what are you doing here? Your Majesty, the three months have already passed. Why aren’t you forgiving me and allowing me to accompany you? It has already been three months? How have you been? I have already recovered, but my body is still not ready yet. You are contradicting yourself. Imperial Physician Qi has great skills and helped to slow down my cold. But it didn’t do anything for my heart. Why do you say this? If I don’t see you for a day, it’s like three seasons. If I don’t see you for three seasons, it’s like a hundred years to me. I can’t cure my love sickness. I’m depressed. Don’t you feel embarrassed saying this in public? My heart is sincere. Why would I be embarrassed? If you still don’t come, I will end up terribly. So irrational. Your Majesty, you just said that you will be going to Yanxi Palace. Your Majesty, Consort Xian has been accompanying you for a long time. Can’t she give in to me for once? Your Majesty. You are not giving me any choice. Lower the sedan. Lower the sedan. Greetings to Your Highness Consort Xian. Sorry to have kept Your Highness Consort Xian waiting. His Majesty has gone to Xianfu Palace. He instructed me to tell you this. Eunuch Wang, you have worked hard. You should have told us earlier. Did you need to create a hassle for us like this? His Majesty is staying at Xianfu Palace. Hence, I need to go to the Office of Respectful Affairs to advise them to log the file for this. I only have this pair of legs. I was delayed. It’s good that His Majesty is taking his rest at Noble Consort Hui’s place. Eunuch Wang, it’s late in the night. Be careful when you leave. Sanbao, get the lantern for Eunuch Wang. Don’t go to the trouble. I will leave on my own. Thank you, Your Highness. Let’s leave. Mistress. Didn’t His Majesty said that he wouldn’t accompany the Noble Consort for three months? It has already been three months. Can’t she restrain herself? It will be hard for her not to compete. Because she’s unable to receive favors from His Majesty, she’s also shortsighted and ignorant. She’s unable to secure her position. A’Ruo, it’s already an achievement that you are able to secure a position here. Be careful when you talk. Don’t be complacent. I’m just not happy to see the Noble Consort behaving like this. If you are not happy, just keep it inside your heart. If others hear you, it’s easy to cause disputes. If I haven’t served you since I was young, I wouldn’t have dared to say this. You are now in the position of being the Emperor’s court lady (maid servant), you should be more steady. There is no need to be acidic in your remarks. If you respect others, others will respect you. I know that I’m wrong. You can leave. Let Suoxin attend to me. Yes. Sister A’Ruo. Sister A’Ruo, has the Mistress settled down yet? Should I deliver tea to her? What are you worrying about? If you are worried, others may not necessarily think that you are sincere.
[ Xiao Fuzi ] Did Mistress blame you again? She’s merely upset. After she has vented her anger, she will dote on you again. No one can be closer to her than you. Even more so, your older sister’s noble father is leaving the capital to take an appointed post! His prospects will be good. Even more so, as you are Mistress’ dowry servant. Okay. Suoxin is taking care of Mistress. I’m going to rest. Be diligent and pay attention to what our Mistress needs. Mistress, have some sweet jelly. Frankly, A’Ruo was right too. It’s just that she likes to talk about everything. She’s also anxious about you. Of course, I know this but this is the palace, certain words can’t be expressed freely. There are many things that you can’t rush either. You are calm and composed. But from what I see, the favors bestowed are not constant. The Noble Consort, without even trying, has got back into his good graces again. In the past, His Majesty was indifferent to you, it was due to what the Empress Dowager said. Although the grace of His Majesty comes and goes, I believe in the affection between His Majesty and I. His Majesty gives me peace. I should also be close with him and share his worries. In this palace, the only one who can be close with and share the worries with His Majesty, it’s you. His Majesty has a load on his mind. His heart is not at peace. What is it? Did you hear about His Majesty’s birth mother? I hear others gossip that His Majesty’s birth mother was a palace girl, Li Jingui, from Rehe Palace. He is superstitious about his life experiences but with regards to Madam Li, he has always remembered her. His Majesty regrets that Madam Li didn’t have an identity and status. He can’t talk about it. I would like to make it up to him. Mistress. You must not do this. Don’t even talk about whether His Majesty would agree or not, the Empress Dowager will give you a hard time. Of course, we can’t talk about the birth mother. If we talk about this, Madam Li will want to obtain the title of the Sacred Mother Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager, of course, will not let me off. His Majesty will also lose face and say that I publicized his family’s secret. I will be immediately sent to the Cold Palace. (T/N place of confinement for forgotten or erring women) Avoid this and let’s think of a solution later. Don’t worry. I won’t mention this to His Majesty. But Mistress, you must think about this carefully. But this is very important to His Majesty. I merely want to make it up to him. It’s only just a bit. Your Majesty, I don’t want you to leave. I can’t bear to see you leave. It doesn’t matter if you can’t bear to see me leave or not. I need to attend the Imperial court session. I haven’t been able to accompany you for three months. I feel guilty. Thus, being able to serve you, it’s my fortune. I didn’t let you accompany me previously, it’s because of your cold. You will still need to serve me when you are sick. I can’t bear to let you do this. Now that you have recovered, I will visit you. Really? Your Majesty, did you miss me for the past three months? Make a guess. I’m not going to guess. Of course, I did. Your Majesty, you must remember me then. If not, you will forget about me. You… I don’t want you to get angry. Your Majesty, I have been thinking for the past three months and feel guilty toward you. I wasn’t able to give you a child. Recover well and let’s talk about this again. But when you are not here, Xianfu Palace is cold and lonely. I was thinking. If I have a child, I wouldn’t be alone and this place will be lively. You came to make a request to me last night. Is it because you want to raise Yonghuang? Because of this, I abandoned Consort Xian. Today is the tenth day of the second month. It’s Consort Xian’s birthday. Of course, you would want to visit her. So what if it’s late by a night? Your Majesty. Let me raise the First Prince. Okay? Fine. I will think about it again. I’m leaving for the Imperial court session. I will visit you later. Yes. Let me tell you. Today is the birthday of the Mistress. His Majesty will definitely be here. Do a good job of cleaning up. – Eunuch Li.
– Today is Concubine Ruyi’s birthday. His Majesty has some matters and is unable to leave. Thus, he instructed me to deliver the gift to her first. She is in there. I will bring you in. Where is Suoxin? She’s cooking in the kitchen. She has good cooking skills. This way, please. Happy birthday, Mistress. You will look good in this red garment. This is too bright. Elder Sister, wear the one in purple then. It has gold ornaments and white jade. They complement each other. Fine. You love blue and I love purple. These two colors complement each other. Mistress, Eunuch Li is here. My greetings to Your Highness Consort Xian, Your Highness First Attendant Hai. I was specially instructed by His Majesty to deliver this gift to Your Highness Consort Xian. His Majesty is not coming? His gift is here first. One is a gold orchid. The other is a lotus flower. Elder Sister, when you look at it, it’s just like rose. His Majesty said that there is a profound meaning in this. I’m taking my leave. Elder Sister, I don’t have anything rare to offer as a gift. I feel that fragrance pouch last time is bad luck, so I made a new one. Each stitch on it represents my affection towards you. I made two, one for you and one for me. I wish Sister a happy birthday. Your sewing is really so ingenious. I surely will keep this. Actually, as long as the person is around, the reunions are the best. From now on, our Yanxi Palace must rely on Eunuch Li’s care. Eunuch Sanbao. The ingredients are complete. Okay. I got it. – Let me tell you, Xiao Fuzi, if there’s one ingredient less, you’ll get punished for it.
– Yes. Go then. Eunuch Li. Please. You’re looking for me? Here, for you. Today is Mistress Xian’s birthday. You are always being oppressed by A’Ruo and can’t doll yourself up. All good things are being taken by her first. And you still gave me such a beautiful velvet flower. Aren’t you afraid that she’ll take it? What A’Ruo wants are expensive items. She won’t like a velvet flower like that. Wear it for good luck, glory, splendor, and promotion. Thank you for remembering me. Why still thank me? You, I, and Jiang Yubin, we all came from the same place, from the same hometown. It’s just right that we take care of each other. I can’t see it, so I’m unable to wear it. Then…let me help put it on you. No need. I’ll put it on when I go back. I’ll go back then. Where did you go loiter around? Mistress said that First Class Attendant Hai’s mugwort is almost used up. Go to the Bureau of Imperial Physicians to get some. I’ll immediately go. You dared to change the prescription based on your personal preference? You didn’t even assess your own weight first. (T/N higher-rank person’s words “carry more weight”) I just feel that changing it into atractylodes (T/N genus in sunflower family, e.g. Atractylodes lancea) might make the drug effect milder. Such mischief! So preposterous! A lowly Imperial physician who only sees palace servants, you actually dared give rash judgment? Listen to me well. If you do this again, don’t bother staying here in the bureau anymore! L-Lord… You got scolded by Imperial Physician Zhao? I’m used to it. I lack experience. It’s common to get scolded at. I know that you’ve been diligently training in medicine. You surely will succeed one day. I sewed this. It is indeed a bit too plain, but at least, it won’t be too showy when worn. When you do your medical consults, you can place some mint inside to make you more alert. Thanks. I surely will always carry this with me. That velvet flower on your hair is so pretty. Really? It’s getting late. First Class Attendant Hai is still waiting to use these mugwort leaves. I’ll go back now. Greetings to Your Majesty. Come. The birthday celebrant still personally came out to welcome me? Your Majesty came to celebrate my birthday with me, how can I not welcome you? Let’s go. Here, Ruyi, let me give you a toast. Thank you, Your Majesty. I know that you love to eat silver noodles, so I had them make them this morning and deliver them here. Today, I’ll eat some noodles with you. It’s for long life. It’s good to have long life. But once you’ve become an old woman full of wrinkles, what’s fun about that? You’d still be pretty even if you’re old. That’s so scary. Won’t I become an old witch then? It’s good that you’re not angry. I went to Noble Consort Hui last night and left you. Noble Consort is unwell. It’s just right that you keep her company. Noble Consort’s health is unwell and is even feeling vexed. She kept telling me that she wants to raise Yonghuang. With that health of hers, Yonghuang is currently very naughty. Why must she insist on keeping him by her side? Having no children, Noble Consort must be feeling lonely. She’s lonely, but aren’t you? Of course, I want to have my own children. Let’s just go with the flow. That hairpin of yours suits you well. This must be your new trick. Usually the flower used to represent marital bliss is lotus, but you just had to choose roses. Roses are colorful and pretty, have a lot of thorns. They all say that it’s hard to make an accessory out of it. I then just had to choose it to gift to you. Roses have many thorns… Your Majesty is indirectly pointing at my flaws. Roses indeed have many thorns, making people wanting to pick them more. So adorable. Your Majesty, please taste this. This is silver noodles with shepherd’s purse and meat shreds. For long life, eat some noodles. This popular shepherd’s purse is really good. Nothing can compare to it. It’s rare that you have such interest. My interests are just these. Making Your Majesty eat delicious food, sleep soundly, and that everything will go your way. That’s enough. Ruyi, although I don’t come here to your place every day, I always think of you in my heart. Every time I come to your place, my heart always feels so at peace. Your Majesty, today is my birthday. I have one wish that I hope can be fulfilled through your golden mouth. I’ve been with you for so many years. Whatever you want, just say it to me. No matter if my words might sound like I don’t know the immensity of the heavens and earth
(T/N exaggerated/not prudent), may Your Majesty allow it. As long as you don’t ask me to make you the Empress, other requests won’t be hard for me. My wish has nothing to do with myself, just with you. Oh? Tell me then. Get up and tell me. After the late Emperor died, the Imperial consorts that were left in the Forbidden City were all conferred titles by Your Majesty and all transferred to Shoukang Palace to live the rest of their lives. Those Imperial consorts at the outside palaces are also being provided for by Her Highness the Empress. I’m thinking that since the living are being supported, are we not going to care about those who have died? May Your Majesty consider that they once served the late Emperor. Please confer posthumous titles on those without any status to show Your Majesty’s filial piety. The one you’re talking about is… The Imperial concubine of the late Emperor in the Rehe Temporary Palace, Li Jingui. There are some people that you can remember in your heart, but not talk about. But Lady Li is different. Lady Li is just a palace maid that the late Emperor had one night with. He never gave her any status. How then will I give her any posthumous title? Your Majesty knows very well what merit Lady Li has provided to the empire. It’s just that there are so many meritorious subjects of Qing and you need not provide for all of them. But may Your Majesty in consideration of the late Emperor posthumously confer Lady Li as Noble Lady Dowager. Include her in the list of Imperial wives of the late Emperor, so as to preserve her reputation. Posthumously conferring titles to people who was never conferred any titles by the late Emperor, Royal Mother will surely get mad. It’s just posthumously giving titles of Imperial Concubine Dowager and Noble Lady Dowager. The title needn’t be too high. It’s enough that the intentions are shown. It’s way better than leaving the tomb of Lady Li out there in the distant Rehe, overgrown with grasses, facing the setting sun, a solitary grave with rare incenses, very desolate. If I did that, people will suspect my relationship with her. The late Emperor said when he was still alive that I’m a son of the Niohuru clan. Of course, you are the son of Empress Dowager. That’s why you’re posthumously conferring only titles of Imperial Concubine Dowager and Noble Lady Dowager. I understand the difficulties in your heart. I just want to make you more comfortable. Today is your birthday. Rest early. Your Majesty! Why must you make such a wish to me? Why! Your Majesty, please calm down. My aunt was a sinner who committed high treason. The late Emperor couldn’t tolerate her and she was buried so haphazardly. I just don’t want someone dear to me to pass into silence just like my aunt, even unable to get the status that she deserved. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Your Majesty? Mistress. Mistress, how come His Majesty left? Today is your birthday. How come he went to First Class Attendant Hai’s room? Don’t make an issue. A’Ruo, leave first. Yes. Suoxin, stay behind. Mistress, you still told him? As a son, there are a lot of things the he can’t clearly say, but I know that he has always remembered the birthday of his birth mother and that he wanted to show her filial piety. I spoke his true intention today. Hope that His Majesty can fulfill what he desires. But today is your birthday. His Majesty didn’t even finish your meal together and just left. He obviously got mad. It’s really not worth it. What? You haven’t served me for that long that you’ve forgotten the rules? I was wrong. It’s just that today is Sister Consort Xian’s birthday. Your Majesty coming here to my place… Is there anything wrong with that? My place is a bit too simple and crude. Maybe Your Majesty wants to go to Her Highness the Empress’ chambers instead. I don’t want to go out of Yanxi Palace. Yes. – Your Majesty.
– Don’t talk to me. Only in your place will there be no one that will annoy me. Yes. What’s going on? Why did His Majesty come to my place today? I heard that His Majesty got angry at Mistress Xian. Go and clean up the warming room. I’ll sleep there today. But it’s rare that His Majesty is here for the first time. Today is Sister’s birthday. If I really attend to him tonight, what kind of person would I have become? Even if you sleep in the warming room, no one will know your intentions. All will think that you’ve attended to His Majesty tonight. I’m doing this for Sister and for myself. Why must I care what other people understand? During this season, there’s not many delicious fruits. That red bayberry that His Majesty gave me yesterday was not bad. (T/N aka yangmei, Myrica rubra) I know that His Majesty dotes on you. He always gifts you the trendiest items first. I still can’t compare to you. Oh. – Your Highness Noble Consort, look who’s coming.
– Hurry up. First Class Attendant Hai, come over here! It’s cooler here. Come! Stupid thing. Look at how she’s walking. It’s as if someone owed her three hundred hangings! How come His Majesty even liked her before? Don’t talk first. Greetings to Your Highness the Noble Consort, Noble Lady Jia, and Noble Lady Yi. First Class Attendant Hai, it’s almost two months. His Majesty has not gone to your Yanxi Palace again? Yes. His Majesty is busy with state affairs. That evening, during Consort Xian’s birthday, didn’t His Majesty leave Consort Xian and go to your room? The whole palace already knows about it. Consort Xian doesn’t really know to earn His Majesty’s liking. When His Majesty went to your place, was he very unhappy? Noble Lady Jia, you know me. In front of His Majesty, I couldn’t even dare raise my head. How would I know what his mood is? You already are having it good. Since you moved into Yanxi Palace, His Majesty can always visit you in passing. His Majesty didn’t vent anything on you that day? I’m clumsy in speech. His Majesty didn’t talk much with me. Looking at how you are, you’re really so boring. If I’m His Majesty, I also wouldn’t like you. Let’s go. I still have some honeydew in my palace. Let’s go taste it. Sure. Rare item…a rare item. How is it? Eunuch Qin, we’ve already distributed the allowances for this month. It’s just that for Yanxi Palace… You didn’t give them, right? Following your orders, we didn’t distribute it. – Delay them.
– Yes. That A’Ruo of Yanxi Palace is so arrogant. Just because of a little doting, she already dared to order us around. This time, let’s make them suffer. Eunuch, it’s also time to distribute the fabrics for the summer dresses. Distribute all of them then. As for the ones for Yanxi Palace… Don’t bother with these. Just go to the stockroom, choose something good, and deliver it to them. Yes. Those snobs, the allowance for this month didn’t arrive again. And those fabrics for the summer, what were those! Sister A’Ruo lower down your voice. Mistress is still inside. The proportion per palace has already been reduced to half. This time, there’s almost none. If we keep silent, will it be fine to not eat or sleep anymore? I’ll go to the Internal Affairs Department now. Sister A’Ruo, don’t get agitated. If you go, you’ll just cause a ruckus and give them a reason to laugh. No, I must go. Sister A’Ruo! Hai Lan. Sister. These are the summer fabrics sent by the Internal Affairs Department? Clothes made from Tianxiang taffeta like this are quite cool when worn in the summer. It’s quite not bad. Look inside. How come all are damaged? The Internal Affairs Department actually dared to brush you off like this? No wonder A’Ruo was very angry. Everyone outside is laughing at you. How come Sister still can hold your anger and sew this? It wasn’t easy for the painter in Ruyi Hall to find this “Traveling though mountains in spring” painting. If I don’t maintain my cool and sew it, must I go out and let others criticize me? Mistress, it’s time for your meal. It’s too simple and tasteless. And that soup, didn’t we send it back yesterday? How come they delivered it again? Our monthly allowance from Internal Affairs Department didn’t arrive. The kitchen can’t start cooking. These were given by the Imperial Kitchen. How can this be allowed? You mustn’t eat this, Sister. I’ll just make do. Look at how gallant Her Highness Noble Consort Hui is. Eunuch Qin! What are you doing? The summer fabrics that your Internal Affairs Department delivered are all damaged. Who will wear those? Damaged? It must be because there is too much bad luck in Yanxi Palace, that those fabrics got destroyed. You… you are spouting nonsense! Let’s not talk about those fabrics first. How come the allowance for our palace is short too? Is it? Have you forgotten? During the end of the year, all of the items used by Yanxi Palace were the best ones. The Internal Affairs Department even had to spend our own money to make up for the deficits. Now that it’s almost summer, shouldn’t we find ways to get that used money back? I’ve calculated it. Based on how I’m deducting the money, Yanxi Palace needs to pay until this time next year. When did Yanxi Palace ask for anything and owe the Internal Affairs Department money? Where’s the loan note? Where’s the loan fund? Then where is it? Loan note? There’s none. They are all recorded in my head. Moreover, how can there be a mistress owing money to a servant and not paying it? If this gets out, she’ll be laughed at. It’s because you can see that our Yanxi Palace has lost the Emperor’s favor, that’s why you’re pinching to see which persimmon is soft, am I right? You’re wrong. Being able to anger His Majesty to the point that he walked out, Yanxi Palace has become a rotten persimmon. Move aside! Don’t disturb me from delivering items to Qixiang Palace. Go away… You… Damn servant, just you wait! That’s really what Qin Li said? How could I dare to tell lies? The Internal Affairs Department people are really insulting us. It is indeed hard on you all. If the money isn’t enough, I still have some savings here. Go fill the deficits. If it still not enough, I still have some items there from my maiden family. Go pawn them. We need money in this palace for everything. I’m thinking, rather than going through hardships and relying on other people’s whims, why don’t you go discuss it with your maiden family? It’s enough to keep one’s unbearable situation in the palace to oneself. Must I still tell it to my maiden family and make them worry? I’m thinking that they are your blood-related family after all— It is exactly because we’re blood-related, that’s why I don’t want to drag them into this trouble. Sister, I still have some savings. No need. We all are not having it easy. A’Ruo, keep that Tianxiang taffeta. Sister, they’re all damaged. Why keep them? Just throw them away. Since they dared to deliver it here, they eventually will be of use in the future. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Even if you don’t say it, I know what it is. But now, no one dares to mention Mistress Xian. Wang Qin is also always in front of His Majesty. Even if I want to say anything, I couldn’t butt in. But now, only you are able to say some things in front of His Majesty. I’ll think of a way. His Majesty just came back from the ancestral temple. He’s also not around right now. He went to Mistress Chun. Your Majesty, have a taste. These are apricots delivered by the Imperial Farm in Yongping. It’s best in increasing salivation and quenching your thirst. Is it delicious? It’s too sour. I don’t like it. Consort Xian loves eating sour food. Why don’t I deliver a box to her? If you want to give them to her, just do it. No need to tell me. Have you gone to visit Yongzhang? That child Yongzhang lacks innate talent. He’s already more than a year old but is still not talking. Your Majesty, Yongzhang is still small. He’ll get smarter. If you have time, go check on him. I’m going back to Yangxin Palace now. Respectfully sending off Your Majesty! Your Majesty’s eyes don’t really have Yongzhang in them. He doesn’t love him at all. It’s because you mentioned Consort Xian, that’s why His Majesty got angry. He’s just speaking angry words. I just feel pity for her. Don’t know how Consort Xian offended His Majesty. You had better not say anything about it now. Mistress, I heard that His Majesty went to the ancestral temple and is already back. I told you to look for old fabrics to make summer clothes for the servants. Have you found them? I’ve already found some and distributed them to prevent people here from causing any disturbances. I was reckless and brought you all trouble. How about First Prince? I know that you care a lot about First Prince. I’ve followed your instructions and deliver him food secretly, avoiding his momos, every several days. Okay. I’ll take my leave. How come you’re leaving already? I’m done playing and should leave now. Okay. Just come again tomorrow. My pipa isn’t catching your attention. Why don’t you just let Noble Consort Hui play one tomorrow? When you play the pipa, I can at least stay quiet for a while. When Noble Consort is around, sometimes I find it too noisy. Just go back first. I will take my leave. Your Majesty. What tea is this? It tastes very weird. Her Highness the Empress gave instructions that since the weather has gotten warmer, the one to be prepared for you is mai dong herb tea, which can decrease the heat. (T/N Ophiogon, TCM use) Empress is so considerate. Since it’s anti-heat, distribute it to all the palaces then. Then…I’ll have to ask the Internal Affairs Department first. If there’s not enough, it can’t be helped for some palaces to have none for now. Which palaces won’t have enough supply? Your Majesty, there are so many people in the palace who worship those above and trample on those below. The Internal Affairs Department has always done things based on who’s the favored one. As for the rest, it can’t be helped for them to have a decrease in supply. If anyone loses favor, then she won’t be considered anymore. You are quite honest. I also came up from rank upon rank of servants. I’m used to seeing those who lose favor getting bullied. Whether it’s the palace maid, the eunuch, or the imperial concubines, it’s the same. Being favored for a moment and then when finally put by the emperor in the back of his mind, for a woman this is seen as a shame and makes them the most miserable. Palace maids that have aged to have white hair are the ones who are most miserable. That’s right. Hence, Ruyi could understand that person’s situation and my feelings. That’s why she made that kind of suggestion. It must be because Jingren Palace also encountered the same thing, so Consort Xian went from one topic to another. Li Yu, tomorrow morning, I’ll go to Cining Palace to visit Royal Mother. Yes. Mistress, for this season’s clothes and jewelry, the Internal Affairs Department didn’t provide any. Let’s just use these old ones. Mistress! Mistress! Mistress, I bumped into Li Yu by the main road outside earlier. He was just about to promulgate a decree. What about it? His Majesty has informed Empress Dowager that he’s going to add some new conferments to the Imperial wives that the late Emperor has left behind. Tell it in more details. After His Majesty returned from the ancestral temple, he was very sentimental. Today, he went to visit Empress Dowager. His Majesty then said that he wasn’t able to fulfill his filial duties well. Empress Dowager then comforted His Majesty with a few words. His Majesty then said that he’s going to take care of Empress Dowager via the world. He then added the monthly allowances of the Imperial Concubine Dowager and Imperial Consort Dowager in Shoukang Palace. Also, His Majesty still wants to posthumously give titles to the deceased Imperial wives of the late Emperor. All will be transferred to the Imperial Consort tomb to accompany the late Emperor. This is His Majesty’s filial piety. Empress Dowager will surely agree with it. Mistress, you have good foresight. That’s also what Empress Dowager said. Hence, His Majesty has already made a decree that any women that has attended to the late Emperor in Yuanming Garden or in Rehe Temporary Palace, regardless of their status, as long as they have deceased, all will be posthumously recognized as Imperial Concubine Dowager and will be transferred to the ancestral tomb to be buried. This is a good thing. – Go now.
– Yes. Suoxin! His Majesty really did it! For so many years, His Majesty has been avoiding to mention his true birth identity. But isn’t he like ordinary people, missing his birth mother too? That’s right. Having a posthumous title is having a status. Even though His Majesty can’t mention about his birth mother, he’ll feel comforted. For so many years of serving His Majesty, his problems are also my problems. Hearing this decree now, I’m so happy. Mistress, His Majesty listened to your suggestion. You will get favored again. ‫do you remember now? ‫Isn’t this your car? ‫Shan shan, ‫surrender yourself. Escaping
‫isn’t a way to resolve this. ‫If you are too scared to go
‫to the police, I’ll go with you. ‫I have heard the victim isn’t hurt badly.
‫As long as you sincerely apologize… ‫I didn’t do it. I
‫said I didn’t do it. ‫Before leaving the country, I gave the
‫car keys to my sister and only you knew. ‫And the only one who can freely get
‫in and out of my sister’s room is you. ‫Even now, you are still not admitting
‫you’re the one who secretly drove my car. ‫It’s not me. I already
‫said it’s not me. ‫Shan shan, what’s wrong? Why
‫do call me here so urgently? ‫Xue qing, you finally came.
‫This time I have a huge problem. ‫You have to help me. I didn’t do
‫it on purpose. I just wanted to play. ‫But you have to tell
‫me what happened first. ‫That day… I drove
‫tian lang’s car out. ‫I hit a person. ‫Shan shan, you hit a person? ‫I didn’t do it on purpose. I was driving
‫and suddenly this person hit my car. ‫Hit your car. ‫Ohh, I get it now.
‫You have met a scammer. ‫Scammer. Yes, them. ‫They hit onto my car and
‫wanted a lot of money from me. ‫I was afraid then so I
‫just gave them the money. ‫How could you do this? You should’ve call
‫the police first in that kind of situation. ‫I had to go to Singapore for a
‫meeting the next day. If I had ‫called the police, it definitely
‫would’ve affected my schedule. ‫I had to immediately go to school.
‫Even if it wasn’t me who crashed. ‫This rumor would be really
‫bad for my dad and his company. ‫I don’t want tian lang to hate me. Thinking
‫that if it can be resolved by money… ‫So I used money to resolve it. ‫Okay, you thought too much. But isn’t
‫this letting the people go too easily? ‫Right now, the main problem
‫is, I don’t know where tian lang ‫found a picture. He believed
‫firmly that I’m the one who hit them ‫and he wants me to go
‫to the police tomorow. ‫Sister, you have to help me.
‫I’m innocent. You have to help me! ‫How come tian lang didn’t
‫trust his own person? ‫Shan shan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely
‫help you so you won’t be wronged. ‫Are you thinking of
‫shan shan’s problem? ‫Look at this yourself. ‫This isn’t even shan
‫shan crashing into people. ‫This is clearly the
‫aftermath of a fraud. ‫- Where did you get this picture?
‫- I spent money and bought it. ‫Even you got tricked.
‫This group of swindlers ‫already took shan shan’s
‫money and still didn’t stop. ‫Shan shan gave them money? ‫Look, if she didn’t do it then
‫why did she give them money? ‫How come you don’t believe her?
‫Shanshan met a scammer and gave them money. ‫Who sold the picture to you?
‫I’ll call the police to catch them. ‫What you’re saying is that the
‫person who sold me this picture ‫and the victim are together
‫with the purpose to trick me. ‫Of course, why would they take the
‫money and still mention old matters? ‫This bunch of liars is never. ‫They have already succeeded once and
‫still want to succeed a second time. ‫Okay, then I’ll report this to
‫the police and catch all these liars ‫to prevent this from happening
‫endlessly in the future. ‫Nan! ‫- Shan shan!
‫- Nan, I miss you so much. ‫I miss you, too! ‫I heard you came home a long time
‫ago. Why don’t you come and see me? ‫Didn’t you go on vacation? I heard
‫you came back so I came right away. ‫Nan, I bought a gift
‫for you. Do you like it? ‫Oh. ‫To let you go on this
‫expense, sorry to trouble you. ‫Wow, this hat is so beautiful. ‫Nan, I have also bought a gift for
‫tian lang. Can I bring it to his room? ‫- Of course you can.
‫- Go ahead. ‫Who sold the picture to
‫tian lang? I must find him. ‫Where is it? If I can’t find
‫it, it will be troublesome. ‫What to do if it goes
‫to the police station? ‫Even if this can be hidden
‫from tian lang, but it ‫cannot hold out on the police.
‫I can’t let this get big. ‫Shan shan. ‫- Nan.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Why are you flipping
‫through tian lang’s things? ‫Did you make a mess?
‫He will be upset. ‫Nan, please I beg you. ‫Please keep this a
‫secret for me, okay? ‫Please don’t tell tian lang.
‫He will definitely be angry. ‫I didn’t say I will tell him. ‫Tian lang already dislikes me. ‫I am afraid if he knows,
‫he will ignore me forever. ‫What happened between
‫you and tian lang? ‫- Did you guys meet?
‫- Yes. ‫Nan, help me. Please
‫help me. I beg of you. ‫Let’s sit down first. ‫Just what happened? ‫Hey, stop right here! Don’t
‫think you will be leaving today. ‫It’s you again. Are
‫you following me? ‫You came here at a
‫perfect time. There is ‫more than one thing I
‫need to settle with you. ‫We can talk about the rest later.
‫Let’s first discuss your scamming. ‫- Scamming?
‫- I just don’t understand. ‫Aren’t you and ju shan shan
‫friends? How can you do this to her? ‫Really never thought
‫that even though you are ‫so young, you are already
‫full of evil schemes. ‫I didn’t understand a word you said.
‫What does this have to do with shanshan? ‫Let me tell you, I came
‫here today just to ask ‫you on July 23rd who was
‫the one driving this car? ‫What? The money for selling the picture
‫is not enough? You still want more? ‫What money for selling
‫the picture? Say it clearly. ‫You are still acting. ‫I will not be deceived again. ‫Who else is there other than me? ‫You are still pretending? ‫If I gave this picture to the
‫police, then you will know to be afraid. ‫Do what you like. If it
‫doesn’t have anything to do with ‫shanshan, then I won’t have
‫to worry about hurting her. ‫Tomorrow, whoever does not arrive at
‫the police station will be a little dog. ‫I will wait for you tomorrow. ‫What? How can you
‫experience a thing like this! ‫Therefore, I must find that picture.
‫If they take it to the police station… ‫It will be inexcusable
‫no matter what I say. ‫Shan shan, no offense but how can
‫you make such friends? So not genuine. ‫I think she took the florist
‫grandma there on purpose to scam you. ‫Girls these days, just never
‫give up until they reach their goal. ‫She must have wanted to
‫get some money from you. ‫Nan, what should I do? ‫I think what tian lang is doing is
‫correct. We must hold them with the law. ‫But they are together as a group,
‫they can testify for each other. ‫This is practically
‫a scamming team. ‫If my mom was still here, she
‫would let no one bully me like this. ‫I miss my mom! ‫Okay, okay. ‫Shan shan and xin xin
‫are the same age. Will xin ‫xin also be crying like
‫this calling for mom? ‫If she was bullied,
‫will anyone help her? ‫Shan shan, nan will
‫help you pay them back. ‫Nan, you are so nice to me. ‫Set up a time with her. ‫I’d like to see what
‫kind of girl this is. ‫Hello? Shan shan. ‫Really? So many. ‫Of, course. No problem. No, no, no. I
‫will definitely get it there by 10 o’clock. ‫Grandma, a huge order arrived. ‫100 roses. 30
‫pots of poinsettia. ‫So many? Who asked for it? ‫Jushi holiday resort. We must get
‫it there before ten. Let’s hurry. ‫This is all. Please
‫check if it’s correct. ‫Yes, that’s correct. Ms. Qing
‫ling, please come inside with me. ‫Where are we going? You still
‫didn’t pay me for the flowers. ‫Pay inside. ‫It’s here. ‫Thank you. ‫Hello. Is this where
‫I get my payment? ‫I don’t need this much. ‫There is only this much, too. ‫No, I think you are mistaken. ‫There is no more
‫than this, either. ‫If you are sensible,
‫just quickly take it. ‫Greedy people will
‫not have a good end. ‫No, aunty, you must be mistaken. ‫Mom, don’t go, don’t go! ‫- Mom, don’t go!
‫- Let me go! ‫Mom! ‫Aren’t you qing ling? ‫Yes. How do you
‫know? You know me? ‫I understand your background. ‫Grown up in an orphanage.
‫Working at a florist. ‫I heard recently that you and a middle
‫age woman scammed in front of a fancy car. ‫Do you guys also depend on
‫scamming for extra income? ‫What are you saying? What
‫scamming and swindling? ‫Why are you so rushed? ‫You appear to be quite clever. ‫How can you do such a thing? ‫I think this is not what
‫this orphanage taught you. ‫Let me tell you, you are not
‫permitted to insult the orphanage. ‫You are the one humiliating
‫your orphanage’s reputation. ‫I’m warning you. This ¥10,000 is my limit.
‫Please do not trouble my child anymore. ‫Let alone, tricking their money,
‫or else, I won’t be easy on you. ‫You are absurd. ‫I don’t know who you are
‫or who your children are. ‫I just want my flower
‫bill. I won’t take the rest. ‫Huh. See. The
‫fox’s tail shows up. ‫Just now, I have recorded your
‫process of taking the money. ‫This is the proof of
‫you extorting money. ‫I told you, I will just take my flower
‫money. I will not take a penny extra. ‫But this recording, only taped
‫your process of taking the money. ‫Why would you frame
‫me? Just who are you? ‫This is called a
‫tooth for a tooth. ‫Who are you? ‫Who am I, is not important.
‫But I want to remind you, ‫if you want to live a wealthy
‫life, use your own hands. ‫Crooked ways will not prevail. ‫Tell me, if I really hand
‫this recording to the police ‫and let them display
‫it on the web, ‫I wonder how long you can still
‫stay in this city? If I were you, ‫I would take the money,
‫and the case about the ‫car accident will be
‫wiped off once and for all. ‫I will also not give
‫you additional money. ‫Car accident?
‫Grandma’s accident. ‫Just who are you exactly? ‫Don’t forget your evidence. ‫Madam! ‫Madam, this is your belonging.
‫You forgot to take it. ‫What to do? What to do? I must prevent
‫him from going to the police station. ‫- Stop the car.
‫- What? You want to run away? ‫It’s already eleven. Police also
‫need to take a break. Moreover, ‫I am with you from morning till
‫now without time for breakfast. ‫I am hungry to death. Stop
‫the car. I want to eat now. ‫What are you yelling
‫for? When we arrived at the ‫police station, I will get
‫you something to eat nearby. ‫I can’t wait. Just that one! ‫Just that one! What are
‫you doing? It’s dangerous. ‫Just eat a bit randomly.
‫Quickly stop the car. ‫Hey, shan shan. ‫Are you sure you
‫want to eat here? ‫I am so hungry. Let’s just
‫randomly eat a little here. ‫The food safety here
‫is definitely not ‫qualified. If you want
‫to eat, eat by yourself. ‫Then you can just wait here. I
‫have been waiting for you all morning. ‫- Boss, a bowl of noodle please.
‫- Okay, just a moment. ‫Never mind. Pain it shall be. ‫- Your noodle is ready.
‫- Thank you. ‫Shan shan, what happened? ‫- My foot… so painful.
‫- How is it? ‫Is it alright? ‫Bring me to the hospital. ‫Thank you, doctor. ‫It hurts so much. Why am I so unlucky? To
‫get into this state just by eating a meal. ‫Okay, okay. Stop whining.
‫Oh right, shan shan ‫you wait here for me. I
‫will go get the prescription. ‫Why don’t you take the
‫suit off? It’s so dirty. ‫You will get the
‫inside wet, too. ‫Please hold it for me. ‫There are a lot of people. It will probably
‫take a couple minutes. Wait here for me. ‫You tell me that you hurt yourself
‫like this for such a small matter. ‫If you crash into
‫someone, just apologize, ‫and give more compensation.
‫It will not look good ‫if you have something
‫like this on your record. ‫You are the heir to
‫shancheng enterprise. ‫Don’t worry. I am the daughter of
‫ju shiping. I won’t bring you shame. ‫I will definitely
‫settle this matter right. ‫As long as I have this,
‫everything will be fine. ‫You already made yourself like
‫this. What is there to be happy about? ‫To do big things, you cannot
‫just depend on petty tricks. ‫To inherit shancheng enterprise,
‫you still have lots to learn. ‫Dad, can’t you not
‫always crack me down. ‫Assistant manager Yang. ‫Why are you here?
‫Where is shan shan? ‫Director ju sent shan shan back. ‫Did he give you my suit? ‫No, I don’t know. ‫Gosh, my car keys are
‫still in the jacket. ‫It’s assistant manager Yang. ‫It’s surely duan tian lang
‫calling for his jacket. You just ‫tell him that the jacket is at the
‫dry cleaner and tell him to fetch it. ‫I still don’t know
‫what that aunty is. ‫So you were here! ‫Sorry, I am late. ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫She still has the nerve to
‫ask. It’s all because of you! ‫I just came. What does
‫it have to do with me? ‫Okay, I don’t want to
‫argue with you. Didn’t ‫you say to go to the
‫police station? Let’s go. ‫What to do when we go there?
‫The picture is washed into a mess. ‫Are you doing this on purpose?
‫Look at the time right now! ‫I already apologized to
‫you. What else do you want? ‫What do I want? I want
‫to ask what you want! ‫You person… ‫- Manager…
‫- What? ‫Can you lower your voice a
‫bit. So many people are watching. ‫- Come with me.
‫- What are you doing? ‫We will find a quiet place to
‫discuss this matter in detail. ‫What are you looking at? ‫Vice president, just
‫now manager grabbed a girl ‫away. ‫- What are you doing? Let go!
‫- Sit down! ‫What are you doing? ‫You pervert! Believe it, I will
‫call the police to capture you. ‫You watch too much TV. ‫If it’s not that I
‫don’t have the evidence, ‫I can also call the
‫police to capture you. ‫I didn’t do anything wrong. ‫He’s a pervert. This
‫place is dangerous. ‫No. I must run. ‫Hey! ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫Tian lang! ‫You guys… what
‫are you guys doing? ‫Tian lang, this is your private
‫resting chamber. How did she come in? ‫Older sister,
‫don’t misunderstand. ‫You pervert! You are not human! ‫Tian lang, what is going on? ‫Older sister, don’t misunderstand.
‫I am not interested in that woman. ‫I have a smell? You are the
‫one who has a smell on your body! ‫Unfathomable! Taking
‫advantage of me. If I had ‫known earlier I should
‫have kicked him more. ‫The east villa including decorations,
‫all finished reconstruction. ‫We can start operating it as a
‫villa hotel starting next week. ‫Inform the planning department, to initiate
‫completely the villa hotel advertisement. ‫Yes, general manager. ‫What did the chief
‫editor say to you? ‫Just the usual. Responsibility ‫and enthusiasm. ‫He is taking care of you. ‫He wants me to write
‫an advertisement. ‫Me! Ding hai. ‫I am a senior
‫financial journalist. ‫Zhengtai hotel
‫villa advertisement. ‫How did you know? ‫I am responsible for the photos. ‫Let’s go, partner. ‫We met before. Do
‫you still remember? ‫What about it? ‫This style is decent. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫I am not a shameless person
‫depending on women to eat. ‫I have a proper job. ‫I am just missing a
‫friend treating me to wine. ‫I don’t have interest
‫in being your friend. ‫My girlfriend just gave
‫me her wedding invitation. ‫I wished her happiness. ‫You are talking about liu yali? ‫She told me that you
‫two are just friends. ‫She told it to you this way? ‫So, I was always
‫one-sided this whole time. ‫What about you? ‫Why are you not happy? ‫I don’t have interest in
‫exchanging concerns with you. ‫A stranger who is someone you are not
‫responsible for or need to be worried about ‫is sometimes safer
‫compared to close people. ‫Close people. ‫Who are close people? ‫Family? Friend? Or lover? ‫Who can you believe? ‫Stranger. ‫You do not need to suspect what I
‫say, because I have no link with you. ‫Therefore, no matter what
‫you say, I will believe you. ‫Huh? Qing ling,
‫why are you here? ‫I am here to give ding
‫hai a midnight snack. But ‫I’ve been calling
‫him with no answer. ‫And he doesn’t like me
‫to disturb him upstairs. ‫How about you call
‫him down for me? ‫Ding hai is in a
‫meeting upstairs. ‫How about I bring it up for you? ‫That’s fine, too. I made
‫lots. Share some with everyone. ‫Thank you. ‫It’s getting late. Why
‫don’t you go back soon? ‫Be careful on the way. ‫Lying to a innocent girl. ‫Ding hai, keep sinning. ‫Do you want to go for a ride? ‫Where’s your car? ‫Thanks. ‫I didn’t drive my car today,
‫because I came to get drunk. ‫Then, what are we
‫going to do now? ‫You treated me to liquor, how
‫about I treat you now to tea? ‫Not buying drunkness anymore? ‫Where are we going? ‫Are you willing to
‫trust a stranger? ‫I would rather buy
‫a lottery ticket. ‫Let’s go. ‫- Careful.
‫- Where are we? ‫This place is not
‫officially open, but ‫my home is here. ‫Your home? ‫Which one? ‫What you mean by home is
‫that this house is yours? ‫That’s right. ‫You… ‫That’s right. This is
‫the key to the villa. ‫- What’s wrong?
‫- How come it is in his hand? ‫Can you give me
‫the key back now? ‫How big is your
‫house? How much is it? ‫What property right? ‫What are you laughing about? ‫Taxi! ‫Hey. Eh? You. ‫What are you doing? ‫Drive. ‫Hey, hey. Are you
‫out of your mind? ‫Crazy person. ‫Still investigating
‫the car accident? ‫It must be lili’s
‫big mouth again. ‫I do not blame the driver. ‫Why is that? ‫Two reasons. ‫First, because of you. ‫Because of the car accident,
‫we got close, isn’t that right? ‫And, one more reason. ‫Everyone has their
‫own moral sense. ‫This hit-and-run driver runs away
‫because he knows he made a mistake. ‫But, if you know you are
‫wrong, then you should not run. ‫Okay, okay. Look at us. ‫Sitting here appreciating
‫the view is a fortune. ‫Sometimes, letting go is
‫easier to receive happiness. ‫Try letting go. ‫Grandma already
‫said it. Then, okay. ‫Okay. ‫Ah. You mean the hit-and-run
‫driver’s sister crashed into grandma xu? ‫Older sister was scared at
‫the time, that’s why she run. ‫But, she knows she is wrong
‫now and wants to compensate. ‫She asked me for
‫help. I must help her. ‫She is my sister-in-law. ‫You already have a family. You
‫should understand my feelings. ‫But then, grandma xu
‫will be so wronged. ‫I will compensate her. ‫How can qing ling
‫accept your money? ‫Anyway, can you help me
‫keep this a secret? Okay? ‫Fine, fine. ‫Just pretend I never came here,
‫and you didn’t tell me anything. ‫I will just pretend I
‫didn’t hear anything. ‫I just know you
‫are the best, lili. ‫Okay, I already
‫told you everything. ‫What to do now is up to you. ‫Qing ling is still waiting for me
‫to transfer money. I will go now. ‫Wait, lili. ‫What did you say? You are going
‫to transfer money to qing ling? ‫Quick, sit down. Sit down! ‫How about this? I give
‫you the money and you ‫can transfer it into
‫qing ling’s account. ‫Then she will accept it. ‫Don’t forget to
‫give me the receipt. ‫Is this a good idea? ‫Qing ling will
‫definitely come to find me. ‫If anything happens,
‫just tell her to find me. ‫Lili. Lili. ‫Are you crazy? Or are you blind? ‫Do you know how much
‫extra money you transferred? ‫You transferred an extra
‫¥100,000, a whole ¥100,000. ‫You scared me! ‫Shan shan wanted to coddle
‫up to her sister-in-law, ‫so that’s why she’s
‫willing to spend that much? ‫What are you saying? ‫Shan shan gave you this money. ‫For grandma xu. ‫Shan shan. Why
‫would she do that? ‫She sees you going around about
‫the car accident. She thinks ‫you are tiring yourself. She
‫doesn’t want you to be tired. ‫I think what she says is right.
‫This case has already passed so long. ‫I think we need to
‫think about the reality. ‫If you have this money, you
‫will be better financially. ‫And, making perfume
‫costs a lot of money. ‫But, I can’t take this
‫money from shan shan. ‫Listen, shan shan thinks this
‫incidence is related to her boyfriend. ‫So, she must feel guilty inside. ‫Qing ling, I think
‫we can let it go. ‫I can’t talk clearly with
‫you. I’m going to find her. ‫Huh? I… ‫Qing ling! ‫Shan shan? I’m here. ‫- How is your foot?
‫- Much better. ‫How come you are late when
‫you arranged our meeting? ‫Sorry, sorry. I’m here now. ‫Right, give me your
‫bank account number. ‫I’m returning the money to you. ‫Why are you so stubborn? ‫Shan shan, thank you. ‫I accept your kindness, but it doesn’t
‫make sense for me to take your money. ‫If you do not agree, I will go back to get
‫cash and make another trip to your house. ‫I really can’t argue over you.
‫I will message it over later. ‫Then what are we going to do
‫about grandma’s car accident? ‫Grandma said it’s easier to
‫obtain happiness by letting go. ‫So, on second thought ‫I decided to temporarily
‫not pursue this matter. ‫- You really decided to let go?
‫- Yes. ‫Tian lang, you are home. ‫Why did you just come back? Shan shan has
‫been waiting for you here for a long time. ‫Your foot is better? ‫Almost. Thank you for sending
‫me to the hospital that day. ‫Shan shan, why
‫should you thank him? ‫If he did not trust the
‫words of a liar and drag you ‫to the police station, this
‫situation would not happen. ‫This case is still not certain. ‫Why are you still
‫serious about this? ‫Qing ling is just a criminal. ‫Last time, I almost got
‫trapped by her and an old lady. ‫If you don’t believe me, you can ask
‫lawyer chen. He helped me resolve this. ‫The same scammer. ‫- Really?
‫- You still do not believe it? ‫The swindler asked shan shan
‫for another hundred thousand. ‫Shan shan, show him
‫the bank receipt. ‫Xue qing. ‫What are you dawdling
‫about? Show it to him. ‫If you look at this you
‫will know I did not lie. ‫Tian lang, I know
‫that girl, too. ‫Last time, I gave her ten thousand
‫dollars but she did not take it. ‫I think she must
‫feel it’s too little. ‫This time she asked shan
‫shan for ten thousand. ‫I think she will
‫never let off shan shan. ‫Take a look. ‫You do not believe the words of the
‫three of us. You just believe in a picture. ‫Didn’t you also
‫buy that picture? ‫Taking it this way, the four
‫of us have all been lied to. ‫We are all victims. ‫Is your brain not working? ‫Why would you give
‫her money again? ‫For people like this,
‫the more you listen to ‫them, the more they think
‫you are easy to bully. ‫I was afraid she would
‫make trouble for you again. ‫Stupid. ‫I will settle this
‫matter out for you. ‫See? Tian lang agreed
‫to come forward for you. ‫This is an opportunity for
‫both of you to develop feelings. ‫I didn’t think you would help
‫shan shan. So warm-hearted. ‫I have hoped tian lang
‫would distant himself ‫from qing ling by
‫showing the receipt. ‫But who knows, it’s
‫just the opposite. ‫Tian lang. ‫How many times have I said it?
‫Do you not know how to knock? ‫Eat some fruit. ‫Tian lang, what do you
‫want to do about qing ling? ‫We cannot let her alone. ‫She is making trouble
‫for us again and again. ‫If we do not fight back, she
‫will think we are afraid of her. ‫You really want
‫to call the police? ‫Why not? ‫Lawyer chen and your bank receipt
‫is enough to send her to prison. ‫Tian lang, don’t be like this.
‫I am friends with her after all. ‫Did your brain break down? ‫If she really thinks of you as a
‫friend, will she bully you again and again? ‫She has her reasons to do this. ‫You don’t know. She’s an orphan. ‫Back in school, in
‫order to buy stuff for ‫children in the orphanage,
‫she sold wild flowers. ‫That’s why she thinks money
‫is important. It is reasonable. ‫Tian lang, just let
‫her off this time. Okay? ‫Just because she has
‫a reason does not mean ‫she can be excused
‫when she commits crimes. ‫Tian lang, for the sake of
‫that I am her friend, let her go. ‫I promise not to spoil
‫her again in the future. ‫If you are not speaking,
‫I will take it as a yes. ‫You are so good to me. ‫I am so moved. ‫What are you doing? ‫Say it, why do you
‫want to meet me? ‫It’s my first time seeing
‫someone as shameless as you. ‫Appearing so righteous when
‫you have done something guilty. ‫I don’t have time
‫to argue with you. ‫I am busier than you are. ‫Sign this. ‫What is it? ‫Guarantee letter. ‫Promise not to see
‫shan shan anymore. ‫Promise not to stir trouble
‫again because of the car accident. ‫No matter what the reason, promise not
‫to scam and earn money by hard work only. ‫What is this? ‫For you, it is a guarantee
‫letter. For me, it is a safeguard. ‫I agreed with shan
‫shan to let you go. ‫But I don’t think you
‫know how to be thankful. ‫To prevent you from scamming
‫again, I made this guarantee letter. ‫Sign it. ‫I will only keep my
‫promise after you sign this. ‫What promise? ‫To let you off. ‫You only have one chance. ‫Crazy person. It’s me
‫who is letting you off. ‫If it’s not for
‫shan shan’s sake, ‫I would have
‫already beat you up. ‫For the car accident
‫matter… for assaulting me. ‫Shut up. ‫That is a misunderstanding. I do not
‫allow you to make slanderous remarks. ‫Dare to act but afraid
‫to take responsibility. ‫Ah, I know. ‫This is how you put someone
‫in the seat of a criminal ‫and then threaten them. ‫I believe not too long from now,
‫you will say I sexually assaulted you., ‫and then demand
‫compensation from me. ‫What do you mean?
‫Are you insulting me? ‫I don’t know why shan shan
‫fancies someone like you. ‫The air stinks. ‫My mood is so much better. ‫This smell… ‫This. ‫You! ‫Return it to you! ‫Why does this smell
‫brighten someone’s mood? ‫- Qing ling.
‫- Ah hai. ‫Here. Your share of the money. ‫Thanks. ‫Why are you so polite
‫with me. Is ¥2000 enough? ‫Enough. They are not
‫out of money anyway. ‫But this not the same. This is
‫the daughter of your higher up. ‫You should buy more gifts.
‫Maybe they will be nicer to you. ‫You really believe in anything. ‫This is the money for
‫the woman I want to pursue. ‫It’s really enough. ‫This is bad. I can’t believe I
‫forgot my appointment with aunty. ‫I will call my mom and
‫tell her you are with me. ‫Let her wait a bit. ‫No. It’s my fault anyway.
‫I should have arrived. ‫How about…? Okay,
‫can you call aunty? ‫Help me persuade her. I am
‫afraid she is angry at me. ‫Did my mother upset you？ ‫of course not. ‫It’s because I am too stupid. ‫Ah hai, help me
‫think of something. ‫What can I do to
‫make aunty happy? ‫Stupid, you are
‫doing good already. ‫Qing ling, don’t
‫blame my mother. ‫She had a hard time
‫bringing me up by herself. ‫She is hard on you
‫because she loves me. ‫Don’t worry, of
‫course I know that. ‫You are a kind person. ‫She will understand you over
‫time. She will definitely like you. ‫Okay, then I will go now. – Greetings to Royal Mother.
– Greetings to Your Highness the Empress Dowager. I wish Royal Mother health, happiness and longevity. Greetings to the Empress Dowager. Wish Empress Dowager will have a heart of gold and long life, have thousands of blessings. Greetings to the Royal Grandmother. I wish Royal Grandmother health, prosperity, longevity and peace.
[ First Prince Yonghuang ] Excellent. Rise, everyone. Thank you, Empress Dowager. Everyone is gathered here. It makes me happy to see this. Let’s not observe the rules. Everyone, take a seat. Children, come here. Come to me. I haven’t seen you for a while. Let me take a look at you. So well-behaved. His Majesty already has three sons. Jingse is the only princess. She is also a precious person.
[ Princess Hejing, Jingse ] His Majesty dotes on the Third Princess. That’s why when he was enthroned, he gave her the title of Gurun Princess Hejing. (T/N this title is only for an Empress’ daughter; others may be titled Heshuo Princess) Tradition has it that princesses will only have a title when they marry out from the family. His Majesty is very fond of Jingse. I feel that it’s a bit too much. The Empress was not lucky during the birth of the First Princess. (T/N baby died in 1728) Consort Zhe’s Second Princess was stillborn. (T/N Posthumous name for the mother of the First Prince) It’s a pity that she’s no longer here. (T/N died August 1735 CE, prior to Qianlong’s coronation ) I have only one daughter. She’s also the eldest daughter. Thus, there is no harm in doting on her. A daughter attracts love and pampering. Jingse, come here. Come to your Royal Grandmother. Go. – Go now.
– Come here. Jingse is rather reserved. She has been over-pampered too. Jingse, go to Royal Grandmother now. Go now. Forget it. After all, she’s the eldest princess of a royal family and rather reserved. Yonghuang, why aren’t you approaching your Royal Grandmother? Royal Grandmother, I have a cold. I dare not approach you. Look at Yongzhang, he’s well-fed.
[ Third Prince Yongzhang ] Yonglian has grown taller too. (T/N Second Prince) Why is Yonghuang still so skinny? Reporting to the Empress Dowager, his appetite hasn’t been good. He’s playful. When no one was watching him, he jumped into the snow
[ Teacher/Nanny Momo Lishi ] and caught a cold. No matter young he is, he is a young master. If subordinates like you don’t teach him well, how can there be a grown-up master? He’s the eldest son of the Emperor. You should have served him better! I was wrong. I was wrong! Three of my grandchildren are sick. I’m worried. An adequate amount of descendants is an image of prosperity and thriving. It’s the new year now. The new year comes with new weather changes. Everyone is pretty like a flower. You must step up on providing more sons. Your Majesty, am I right? You are right. The eldest son and the eldest daughter are precious. Whoever gives birth to the first child after His Majesty’s enthronement, he or she is even more precious. Enough, let’s end it here. I would like to speak to the Emperor and Empress separately. We are taking our leave. Go now. Empress, many events have happened recently in the palace. Can you cope with it? Regarding the harem, I’m still inexperienced. I still can’t cope with it. I heard that after creating a scene at Xianfu Palace, the concubines did the same thing at Yangxin Palace Hall. There wasn’t any peace at all. I’m young and don’t have enough experience to manage the six palaces. Empress, you are my right-minded and proper daughter-in-law. I dote on you, but I must teach you too. You have lost the urgency. I will listen to your teachings. The Emperor has only these few sons. It’s necessary to have a succession of sons. But the way you let the concubines groom themselves, they look no better than how they looked when they entered the palace. It caused the Emperor to squint at such an ugly sight. This is too inexpensive of you. I admit my fault. Rise. You are not bad at saving and cutting down waste, but you must take care of the harem and the Emperor’s image. When the ministers assemble in the Imperial court, they must not see the supreme and mighty masters in their heart are dressed worse than they are. It’s like Bodhisattva in the temple without any gold and her red sandalwood seat. Would the people bow down sincerely? They would only say that they are shabby. Your strict and severe frugality is great. Anywhere else it might not abolish an organization, but it can’t be done in the Forbidden City. The son the Emperor most values, his eldest son has caught a cold. If anything were to happen to Yonghuang, how will you account to Consort Zhe in heaven? Royal Mother is correct that the Empress wasn’t steady in handling this. With Royal Mother’s guidance, the Empress will know what to do in the future. You are smart and virtuous. You will naturally understand this. Please take care of me, Royal Mother. If you are willing to take my advice, it’s nothing much. Your Majesty. Your Majesty. What is it? I would like to talk to you. I’m rather tired from talking to Royal Mother for a long time. By the way, when you have the time, teach Jingse. Naturally, a princess must be reserved, but she must know how to be decent too. Yes. His Majesty is leaving. Respectfully sending off Your Majesty. Your Highness the Empress, His Majesty doesn’t seem happy. Go to Xiefang Dian (Xiefang Palace Hall) and straighten out and fill in the staffs of Yonghuang and Yongzhang. What about the Second Prince? Yonglian has enough people to serve him. He doesn’t need the extravagance. Yes. The older First Prince grows, the more scheming he becomes. When His Majesty will sometimes visit Xiefang Palace Hall, First Prince acts strongly throughout and steals the limelight from the Second Prince. Her Highness the Empress is anxious about this too. An eldest son born of a concubine dares to put pressure on the first-born legitimate son? (T/N Yonglian) Simply put, this is rebelling. He is sick, and he still doesn’t forget to tell tales. I don’t dare to be mean to him anymore. Why wouldn’t you dare to do that? You still have Her Highness the Empress. Don’t worry and just do it. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Really? Are you talking about Guiren Jia? (Noble Lady Jia) Mistress, what’s so amusing? For a single lady, you mustn’t hear it, it mustn’t be mentioned. Take a break and have some refreshments. What’s this new fun stuff again? These are the Flower Blossom Cakes from the little kitchen. They are popular among common folk. I was thinking that the dishes during the new year are usually meat and fish, so I made some dessert that’s good for digestion. Suoxin is always very considerate. Yes, she is. Since these are what children love to eat, take more with you. Deliver them to the Third Prince at Xiefang Palace Hall. Yes. You are so nice to Third Prince. Between the three of us, only Lüyun has children. I really envy her. Talking about this, it’s strange. Her Highness Imperial Concubine Chun’s Third Prince was so chubby and strong, and always wrapped up tightly. The momos at Xiefang Palace Hall don’t pay that much attention to the Second Prince. Third Prince is the youngest. He should be taken care of. Bring these snacks and hand them over to Third Prince’s momo later. Watch her feed the Third Prince and check if he likes it. Yes. Sister Suoxin. Eldest Prince! Greetings to the Eldest Prince. What is this? These are the freshly-made snacks from Yanxi Palace. I’m delivering these to the Third Prince at Xiefang Palace Hall. Third Brother has all the nice food. He can’t even finish it all. I don’t have anything at all. Do you want to eat this? I will let you have one. These are snacks from Consort Xian to Third Brother. If you give this to me, aren’t you afraid that she would punish you? Her Highness Consort Xian dotes on you. It’s not a big deal to let you have one. Isn’t that Suoxin, the maid of Consort Xian? Eat slowly. Don’t choke yourself. What is she saying to the First Prince? Empress Dowager values him. I believe Consort Xian sent her here to get close to him. Where did you go to play? There are ashes on your face. You just had a meal half an hour ago and you are devouring this. They didn’t allow me to eat my fill. They take the food when I have only finished half a bowl. They were afraid that I would choke, but I’m hungry. “They”? Who are they? Those momos who serve me. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com First Prince, what about those who attend you? They don’t like to follow me. They let me roam freely. First Prince, eat this snack secretly. Don’t tell anyone that it’s from me. I’m leaving now. Don’t tell anyone that I ate this secretly. Or else, I will be scolded too. Would I dare to scold you? First Prince. – First Prince.
– It’s Momo Li. Leave now. First Prince! First Prince! First– First Prince, why are you roaming here? Go back with me now. You really don’t give me any peace of mind. You said that you saw the First Prince but there were no attendants with him? Yes, he came out from behind the rock sculptures and his clothes were stained with mud. No one was with him. I also remember there was grease on his clothes. It’s not time for dinner yet. The breakfast of the princes and princesses is usually light and has no meat or fish. The grease must be from last night. It means that no one is taking good care of him. I keep hearing them say that the momos taking care of the First Prince in Xiefang Palace Hall are fewer than the momos sent by Her Highness the Empress who take care of the Second Prince. Perhaps the First Prince is naughty and mischievous, as well as not well known. Is he naughty, or the staff in Xiefang Palace Hall lazy? This needs to be investigated in detail before you know. But you said that he was afraid of being scolded for eating the snack. It’s possible that he’s being bullied by the attendants. Don’t talk about this first, lest you make a mistake. I understand. First Prince is very pitiful. His mother passed away when he was eight years old and no one takes care of him. He is not complete at all. Elder Sister, let’s not talk about this child now and think too much about this. When you have your own son, that will be great. I would like to a child too but nothing’s happening. It will happen. What kind of prescription is this? It’s so bitter. Lord Gao specially looked for this. Drink some of it. Take it away. Mistress, it may give you a son if you drink it. I’m being favored but I don’t know why I can’t get pregnant. Don’t be too anxious. Your weak qi and blood stasis illness has been there since you were little. (T/N TCM) You have been worried for the past few years and didn’t take care of yourself. If this nursing continues, I won’t forgive anyone. Mistress. If you are in a hurry to have a child, why don’t you support the First Prince first? First Prince? Her Highness the Empress keeps complaining that he’s the eldest son but she is always indifferent. I can tell from looking at Sulian’s face. Because he’s the eldest son, you should support him like a mother and son. Your status will be different. Didn’t you hear that the Empress sent the physician to check on him? That’s because the Empress Dowager values him. It takes time for your health to get back on track. You won’t be able to catch up by giving His Majesty the first son born after his enthronement. Won’t you suffer losses? Why don’t you support the First Prince first and take on the post as his foster mother? What’s the use of being one? Even more so, when he’s not my biological son. Isn’t the Empress Dowager the foster mother of His Majesty too? That’s right too. But why would Her Highness the Empress allow me to be his foster mother? Don’t think about Her Highness’ opinion first. Think about yourself first. If you raise the First Prince until he’s an adult, you may not need to see the Empress again. I wonder if His Majesty is willing. In the ancestor’s family law, there has always been a humble child of a birth mother who was handed to a noble-born consort to raise. Even more so, when Consort Zhe has already passed away. This is justifiable. Consort Zhe and the Empress are from the same (Fuca) clan. Her Highness has always not been willing to raise him. That’s because she didn’t like Consort Zhe for stealing the limelight by giving birth to a son. Talking about this, the First Prince is rather pitiful too. Her Highness the Empress doesn’t want to raise him. You are the second in ranking after Her Highness the Empress. The good fortune of the First Prince will naturally go to you. When you have your own child in the future, be close to the First Prince and continue to raise him. If he’s not close to you, just send him back to Xiefang Palace Hall. What a good idea. If the First Prince follows me, he will rely on me. Mistress, do you know? When I was passing the garden today, I saw Consort Xian’s maid, Suoxin talking and smiling with the First Prince. You must make your request to His Majesty immediately. Perhaps Consort Xian has the same idea too. If she gets hold of this opportunity, she will be very pleased. This can’t happen. I’m not doing this for myself. I won’t let Consort Xian do it either. That Consort Xian keeps trying to fight for and take away things. She is really irritating. The character must be straight. As for the character “ren”, (T/N person) use more strength with your wrist. Don’t exert too much. I practice every day. The copybook which the Royal Father gave me, it’s always on my desk. Okay. You are my first-born son. You must work hard so that you can set an example for your younger brothers. Understand? I am growing up along with my brothers. I must take on important tasks and not disappoint my Royal Father. Excellent. – Greetings to Your Majesty.
– Greetings to Royal Father. Greetings to Your Highness the Empress. – Eldest Brother.
– Second Brother. Everyone, rise. What brings you here? I went to Xiefang Palace Hall to visit Yonglian just now. [ Second Prince Yonglian ] Yonglian said that he misses his Royal Father. Good son. I miss you too. Yonghuang, how’s your health lately? Replying to Royal Mother, I have fully recovered. Eldest Brother is writing calligraphy. Royal Father, I want to learn too. Okay then. You really want to progress? I have already found a tutor for you. You should probably go to Shang Shufang to study. (T/N the princes’ study as they grow older) Yonghuang, when you have the time, you should teach Yonglian. Understand? I do. I surely will teach my younger brother with all my heart. Excellent. This is the right attitude of the eldest brother. Isn’t that so, Empress? Good sons. Yonghuang and Yonglian are very progressive. I’m very happy. First Prince likes to show off in front of His Majesty. I fear that when he becomes the Crown Prince, he will forget that he was the eldest son of a concubine. Eldest Son’s identity is very dignified. Yonghuang is very intelligent and much better than Yongzhang. But I heard Momo Li say that the First Prince is determined to live up to his mother’s expectations and shows off in front of His Majesty. Consort Zhe taught him that. He is too ambitious. You should instruct those momos and eunuchs then. Yes. Stop the sedan. Greetings to Your Majesty. Rise. Xiyue, what are you doing here? Your Majesty, the three months have already passed. Why aren’t you forgiving me and allowing me to accompany you? It has already been three months? How have you been? I have already recovered, but my body is still not ready yet. You are contradicting yourself. Imperial Physician Qi has great skills and helped to slow down my cold. But it didn’t do anything for my heart. Why do you say this? If I don’t see you for a day, it’s like three seasons. If I don’t see you for three seasons, it’s like a hundred years to me. I can’t cure my love sickness. I’m depressed. Don’t you feel embarrassed saying this in public? My heart is sincere. Why would I be embarrassed? If you still don’t come, I will end up terribly. So irrational. Your Majesty, you just said that you will be going to Yanxi Palace. Your Majesty, Consort Xian has been accompanying you for a long time. Can’t she give in to me for once? Your Majesty. You are not giving me any choice. Lower the sedan. Lower the sedan. Greetings to Your Highness Consort Xian. Sorry to have kept Your Highness Consort Xian waiting. His Majesty has gone to Xianfu Palace. He instructed me to tell you this. Eunuch Wang, you have worked hard. You should have told us earlier. Did you need to create a hassle for us like this? His Majesty is staying at Xianfu Palace. Hence, I need to go to the Office of Respectful Affairs to advise them to log the file for this. I only have this pair of legs. I was delayed. It’s good that His Majesty is taking his rest at Noble Consort Hui’s place. Eunuch Wang, it’s late in the night. Be careful when you leave. Sanbao, get the lantern for Eunuch Wang. Don’t go to the trouble. I will leave on my own. Thank you, Your Highness. Let’s leave. Mistress. Didn’t His Majesty said that he wouldn’t accompany the Noble Consort for three months? It has already been three months. Can’t she restrain herself? It will be hard for her not to compete. Because she’s unable to receive favors from His Majesty, she’s also shortsighted and ignorant. She’s unable to secure her position. A’Ruo, it’s already an achievement that you are able to secure a position here. Be careful when you talk. Don’t be complacent. I’m just not happy to see the Noble Consort behaving like this. If you are not happy, just keep it inside your heart. If others hear you, it’s easy to cause disputes. If I haven’t served you since I was young, I wouldn’t have dared to say this. You are now in the position of being the Emperor’s court lady (maid servant), you should be more steady. There is no need to be acidic in your remarks. If you respect others, others will respect you. I know that I’m wrong. You can leave. Let Suoxin attend to me. Yes. Sister A’Ruo. Sister A’Ruo, has the Mistress settled down yet? Should I deliver tea to her? What are you worrying about? If you are worried, others may not necessarily think that you are sincere.
[ Xiao Fuzi ] Did Mistress blame you again? She’s merely upset. After she has vented her anger, she will dote on you again. No one can be closer to her than you. Even more so, your older sister’s noble father is leaving the capital to take an appointed post! His prospects will be good. Even more so, as you are Mistress’ dowry servant. Okay. Suoxin is taking care of Mistress. I’m going to rest. Be diligent and pay attention to what our Mistress needs. Mistress, have some sweet jelly. Frankly, A’Ruo was right too. It’s just that she likes to talk about everything. She’s also anxious about you. Of course, I know this but this is the palace, certain words can’t be expressed freely. There are many things that you can’t rush either. You are calm and composed. But from what I see, the favors bestowed are not constant. The Noble Consort, without even trying, has got back into his good graces again. In the past, His Majesty was indifferent to you, it was due to what the Empress Dowager said. Although the grace of His Majesty comes and goes, I believe in the affection between His Majesty and I. His Majesty gives me peace. I should also be close with him and share his worries. In this palace, the only one who can be close with and share the worries with His Majesty, it’s you. His Majesty has a load on his mind. His heart is not at peace. What is it? Did you hear about His Majesty’s birth mother? I hear others gossip that His Majesty’s birth mother was a palace girl, Li Jingui, from Rehe Palace. He is superstitious about his life experiences but with regards to Madam Li, he has always remembered her. His Majesty regrets that Madam Li didn’t have an identity and status. He can’t talk about it. I would like to make it up to him. Mistress. You must not do this. Don’t even talk about whether His Majesty would agree or not, the Empress Dowager will give you a hard time. Of course, we can’t talk about the birth mother. If we talk about this, Madam Li will want to obtain the title of the Sacred Mother Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager, of course, will not let me off. His Majesty will also lose face and say that I publicized his family’s secret. I will be immediately sent to the Cold Palace. (T/N place of confinement for forgotten or erring women) Avoid this and let’s think of a solution later. Don’t worry. I won’t mention this to His Majesty. But Mistress, you must think about this carefully. But this is very important to His Majesty. I merely want to make it up to him. It’s only just a bit. Your Majesty, I don’t want you to leave. I can’t bear to see you leave. It doesn’t matter if you can’t bear to see me leave or not. I need to attend the Imperial court session. I haven’t been able to accompany you for three months. I feel guilty. Thus, being able to serve you, it’s my fortune. I didn’t let you accompany me previously, it’s because of your cold. You will still need to serve me when you are sick. I can’t bear to let you do this. Now that you have recovered, I will visit you. Really? Your Majesty, did you miss me for the past three months? Make a guess. I’m not going to guess. Of course, I did. Your Majesty, you must remember me then. If not, you will forget about me. You… I don’t want you to get angry. Your Majesty, I have been thinking for the past three months and feel guilty toward you. I wasn’t able to give you a child. Recover well and let’s talk about this again. But when you are not here, Xianfu Palace is cold and lonely. I was thinking. If I have a child, I wouldn’t be alone and this place will be lively. You came to make a request to me last night. Is it because you want to raise Yonghuang? Because of this, I abandoned Consort Xian. Today is the tenth day of the second month. It’s Consort Xian’s birthday. Of course, you would want to visit her. So what if it’s late by a night? Your Majesty. Let me raise the First Prince. Okay? Fine. I will think about it again. I’m leaving for the Imperial court session. I will visit you later. Yes. ‫do you remember now? ‫Isn’t this your car? ‫Shan shan, ‫surrender yourself. Escaping
‫isn’t a way to resolve this. ‫If you are too scared to go
‫to the police, I’ll go with you. ‫I have heard the victim isn’t hurt badly.
‫As long as you sincerely apologize… ‫I didn’t do it. I
‫said I didn’t do it. ‫Before leaving the country, I gave the
‫car keys to my sister and only you knew. ‫And the only one who can freely get
‫in and out of my sister’s room is you. ‫Even now, you are still not admitting
‫you’re the one who secretly drove my car. ‫It’s not me. I already
‫said it’s not me. ‫Shan shan, what’s wrong? Why
‫do call me here so urgently? ‫Xue qing, you finally came.
‫This time I have a huge problem. ‫You have to help me. I didn’t do
‫it on purpose. I just wanted to play. ‫But you have to tell
‫me what happened first. ‫That day… I drove
‫tian lang’s car out. ‫I hit a person. ‫Shan shan, you hit a person? ‫I didn’t do it on purpose. I was driving
‫and suddenly this person hit my car. ‫Hit your car. ‫Ohh, I get it now.
‫You have met a scammer. ‫Scammer. Yes, them. ‫They hit onto my car and
‫wanted a lot of money from me. ‫I was afraid then so I
‫just gave them the money. ‫How could you do this? You should’ve call
‫the police first in that kind of situation. ‫I had to go to Singapore for a
‫meeting the next day. If I had ‫called the police, it definitely
‫would’ve affected my schedule. ‫I had to immediately go to school.
‫Even if it wasn’t me who crashed. ‫This rumor would be really
‫bad for my dad and his company. ‫I don’t want tian lang to hate me. Thinking
‫that if it can be resolved by money… ‫So I used money to resolve it. ‫Okay, you thought too much. But isn’t
‫this letting the people go too easily? ‫Right now, the main problem
‫is, I don’t know where tian lang ‫found a picture. He believed
‫firmly that I’m the one who hit them ‫and he wants me to go
‫to the police tomorow. ‫Sister, you have to help me.
‫I’m innocent. You have to help me! ‫How come tian lang didn’t
‫trust his own person? ‫Shan shan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely
‫help you so you won’t be wronged. ‫Are you thinking of
‫shan shan’s problem? ‫Look at this yourself. ‫This isn’t even shan
‫shan crashing into people. ‫This is clearly the
‫aftermath of a fraud. ‫- Where did you get this picture?
‫- I spent money and bought it. ‫Even you got tricked.
‫This group of swindlers ‫already took shan shan’s
‫money and still didn’t stop. ‫Shan shan gave them money? ‫Look, if she didn’t do it then
‫why did she give them money? ‫How come you don’t believe her?
‫Shanshan met a scammer and gave them money. ‫Who sold the picture to you?
‫I’ll call the police to catch them. ‫What you’re saying is that the
‫person who sold me this picture ‫and the victim are together
‫with the purpose to trick me. ‫Of course, why would they take the
‫money and still mention old matters? ‫This bunch of liars is never. ‫They have already succeeded once and
‫still want to succeed a second time. ‫Okay, then I’ll report this to
‫the police and catch all these liars ‫to prevent this from happening
‫endlessly in the future. ‫Nan! ‫- Shan shan!
‫- Nan, I miss you so much. ‫I miss you, too! ‫I heard you came home a long time
‫ago. Why don’t you come and see me? ‫Didn’t you go on vacation? I heard
‫you came back so I came right away. ‫Nan, I bought a gift
‫for you. Do you like it? ‫Oh. ‫To let you go on this
‫expense, sorry to trouble you. ‫Wow, this hat is so beautiful. ‫Nan, I have also bought a gift for
‫tian lang. Can I bring it to his room? ‫- Of course you can.
‫- Go ahead. ‫Who sold the picture to
‫tian lang? I must find him. ‫Where is it? If I can’t find
‫it, it will be troublesome. ‫What to do if it goes
‫to the police station? ‫Even if this can be hidden
‫from tian lang, but it ‫cannot hold out on the police.
‫I can’t let this get big. ‫Shan shan. ‫- Nan.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Why are you flipping
‫through tian lang’s things? ‫Did you make a mess?
‫He will be upset. ‫Nan, please I beg you. ‫Please keep this a
‫secret for me, okay? ‫Please don’t tell tian lang.
‫He will definitely be angry. ‫I didn’t say I will tell him. ‫Tian lang already dislikes me. ‫I am afraid if he knows,
‫he will ignore me forever. ‫What happened between
‫you and tian lang? ‫- Did you guys meet?
‫- Yes. ‫Nan, help me. Please
‫help me. I beg of you. ‫Let’s sit down first. ‫Just what happened? ‫Hey, stop right here! Don’t
‫think you will be leaving today. ‫It’s you again. Are
‫you following me? ‫You came here at a
‫perfect time. There is ‫more than one thing I
‫need to settle with you. ‫We can talk about the rest later.
‫Let’s first discuss your scamming. ‫- Scamming?
‫- I just don’t understand. ‫Aren’t you and ju shan shan
‫friends? How can you do this to her? ‫Really never thought
‫that even though you are ‫so young, you are already
‫full of evil schemes. ‫I didn’t understand a word you said.
‫What does this have to do with shanshan? ‫Let me tell you, I came
‫here today just to ask ‫you on July 23rd who was
‫the one driving this car? ‫What? The money for selling the picture
‫is not enough? You still want more? ‫What money for selling
‫the picture? Say it clearly. ‫You are still acting. ‫I will not be deceived again. ‫Who else is there other than me? ‫You are still pretending? ‫If I gave this picture to the
‫police, then you will know to be afraid. ‫Do what you like. If it
‫doesn’t have anything to do with ‫shanshan, then I won’t have
‫to worry about hurting her. ‫Tomorrow, whoever does not arrive at
‫the police station will be a little dog. ‫I will wait for you tomorrow. ‫What? How can you
‫experience a thing like this! ‫Therefore, I must find that picture.
‫If they take it to the police station… ‫It will be inexcusable
‫no matter what I say. ‫Shan shan, no offense but how can
‫you make such friends? So not genuine. ‫I think she took the florist
‫grandma there on purpose to scam you. ‫Girls these days, just never
‫give up until they reach their goal. ‫She must have wanted to
‫get some money from you. ‫Nan, what should I do? ‫I think what tian lang is doing is
‫correct. We must hold them with the law. ‫But they are together as a group,
‫they can testify for each other. ‫This is practically
‫a scamming team. ‫If my mom was still here, she
‫would let no one bully me like this. ‫I miss my mom! ‫Okay, okay. ‫Shan shan and xin xin
‫are the same age. Will xin ‫xin also be crying like
‫this calling for mom? ‫If she was bullied,
‫will anyone help her? ‫Shan shan, nan will
‫help you pay them back. ‫Nan, you are so nice to me. ‫Set up a time with her. ‫I’d like to see what
‫kind of girl this is. ‫Hello? Shan shan. ‫Really? So many. ‫Of, course. No problem. No, no, no. I
‫will definitely get it there by 10 o’clock. ‫Grandma, a huge order arrived. ‫100 roses. 30
‫pots of poinsettia. ‫So many? Who asked for it? ‫Jushi holiday resort. We must get
‫it there before ten. Let’s hurry. ‫This is all. Please
‫check if it’s correct. ‫Yes, that’s correct. Ms. Qing
‫ling, please come inside with me. ‫Where are we going? You still
‫didn’t pay me for the flowers. ‫Pay inside. ‫It’s here. ‫Thank you. ‫Hello. Is this where
‫I get my payment? ‫I don’t need this much. ‫There is only this much, too. ‫No, I think you are mistaken. ‫There is no more
‫than this, either. ‫If you are sensible,
‫just quickly take it. ‫Greedy people will
‫not have a good end. ‫No, aunty, you must be mistaken. ‫Mom, don’t go, don’t go! ‫- Mom, don’t go!
‫- Let me go! ‫Mom! ‫Aren’t you qing ling? ‫Yes. How do you
‫know? You know me? ‫I understand your background. ‫Grown up in an orphanage.
‫Working at a florist. ‫I heard recently that you and a middle
‫age woman scammed in front of a fancy car. ‫Do you guys also depend on
‫scamming for extra income? ‫What are you saying? What
‫scamming and swindling? ‫Why are you so rushed? ‫You appear to be quite clever. ‫How can you do such a thing? ‫I think this is not what
‫this orphanage taught you. ‫Let me tell you, you are not
‫permitted to insult the orphanage. ‫You are the one humiliating
‫your orphanage’s reputation. ‫I’m warning you. This ¥10,000 is my limit.
‫Please do not trouble my child anymore. ‫Let alone, tricking their money,
‫or else, I won’t be easy on you. ‫You are absurd. ‫I don’t know who you are
‫or who your children are. ‫I just want my flower
‫bill. I won’t take the rest. ‫Huh. See. The
‫fox’s tail shows up. ‫Just now, I have recorded your
‫process of taking the money. ‫This is the proof of
‫you extorting money. ‫I told you, I will just take my flower
‫money. I will not take a penny extra. ‫But this recording, only taped
‫your process of taking the money. ‫Why would you frame
‫me? Just who are you? ‫This is called a
‫tooth for a tooth. ‫Who are you? ‫Who am I, is not important.
‫But I want to remind you, ‫if you want to live a wealthy
‫life, use your own hands. ‫Crooked ways will not prevail. ‫Tell me, if I really hand
‫this recording to the police ‫and let them display
‫it on the web, ‫I wonder how long you can still
‫stay in this city? If I were you, ‫I would take the money,
‫and the case about the ‫car accident will be
‫wiped off once and for all. ‫I will also not give
‫you additional money. ‫Car accident?
‫Grandma’s accident. ‫Just who are you exactly? ‫Don’t forget your evidence. ‫Madam! ‫Madam, this is your belonging.
‫You forgot to take it. ‫What to do? What to do? I must prevent
‫him from going to the police station. ‫- Stop the car.
‫- What? You want to run away? ‫It’s already eleven. Police also
‫need to take a break. Moreover, ‫I am with you from morning till
‫now without time for breakfast. ‫I am hungry to death. Stop
‫the car. I want to eat now. ‫What are you yelling
‫for? When we arrived at the ‫police station, I will get
‫you something to eat nearby. ‫I can’t wait. Just that one! ‫Just that one! What are
‫you doing? It’s dangerous. ‫Just eat a bit randomly.
‫Quickly stop the car. ‫Hey, shan shan. ‫Are you sure you
‫want to eat here? ‫I am so hungry. Let’s just
‫randomly eat a little here. ‫The food safety here
‫is definitely not ‫qualified. If you want
‫to eat, eat by yourself. ‫Then you can just wait here. I
‫have been waiting for you all morning. ‫- Boss, a bowl of noodle please.
‫- Okay, just a moment. ‫Never mind. Pain it shall be. ‫- Your noodle is ready.
‫- Thank you. ‫Shan shan, what happened? ‫- My foot… so painful.
‫- How is it? ‫Is it alright? ‫Bring me to the hospital. ‫Thank you, doctor. ‫It hurts so much. Why am I so unlucky? To
‫get into this state just by eating a meal. ‫Okay, okay. Stop whining.
‫Oh right, shan shan ‫you wait here for me. I
‫will go get the prescription. ‫Why don’t you take the
‫suit off? It’s so dirty. ‫You will get the
‫inside wet, too. ‫Please hold it for me. ‫There are a lot of people. It will probably
‫take a couple minutes. Wait here for me. ‫You tell me that you hurt yourself
‫like this for such a small matter. ‫If you crash into
‫someone, just apologize, ‫and give more compensation.
‫It will not look good ‫if you have something
‫like this on your record. ‫You are the heir to
‫shancheng enterprise. ‫Don’t worry. I am the daughter of
‫ju shiping. I won’t bring you shame. ‫I will definitely
‫settle this matter right. ‫As long as I have this,
‫everything will be fine. ‫You already made yourself like
‫this. What is there to be happy about? ‫To do big things, you cannot
‫just depend on petty tricks. ‫To inherit shancheng enterprise,
‫you still have lots to learn. ‫Dad, can’t you not
‫always crack me down. ‫Assistant manager Yang. ‫Why are you here?
‫Where is shan shan? ‫Director ju sent shan shan back. ‫Did he give you my suit? ‫No, I don’t know. ‫Gosh, my car keys are
‫still in the jacket. ‫It’s assistant manager Yang. ‫It’s surely duan tian lang
‫calling for his jacket. You just ‫tell him that the jacket is at the
‫dry cleaner and tell him to fetch it. ‫I still don’t know
‫what that aunty is. ‫So you were here! ‫Sorry, I am late. ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫She still has the nerve to
‫ask. It’s all because of you! ‫I just came. What does
‫it have to do with me? ‫Okay, I don’t want to
‫argue with you. Didn’t ‫you say to go to the
‫police station? Let’s go. ‫What to do when we go there?
‫The picture is washed into a mess. ‫Are you doing this on purpose?
‫Look at the time right now! ‫I already apologized to
‫you. What else do you want? ‫What do I want? I want
‫to ask what you want! ‫You person… ‫- Manager…
‫- What? ‫Can you lower your voice a
‫bit. So many people are watching. ‫- Come with me.
‫- What are you doing? ‫We will find a quiet place to
‫discuss this matter in detail. ‫What are you looking at? ‫Vice president, just
‫now manager grabbed a girl ‫away. ‫- What are you doing? Let go!
‫- Sit down! ‫What are you doing? ‫You pervert! Believe it, I will
‫call the police to capture you. ‫You watch too much TV. ‫If it’s not that I
‫don’t have the evidence, ‫I can also call the
‫police to capture you. ‫I didn’t do anything wrong. ‫He’s a pervert. This
‫place is dangerous. ‫No. I must run. ‫Hey! ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫Tian lang! ‫You guys… what
‫are you guys doing? ‫Tian lang, this is your private
‫resting chamber. How did she come in? ‫Older sister,
‫don’t misunderstand. ‫You pervert! You are not human! ‫Tian lang, what is going on? ‫Older sister, don’t misunderstand.
‫I am not interested in that woman. ‫I have a smell? You are the
‫one who has a smell on your body! ‫Unfathomable! Taking
‫advantage of me. If I had ‫known earlier I should
‫have kicked him more. ‫The east villa including decorations,
‫all finished reconstruction. ‫We can start operating it as a
‫villa hotel starting next week. ‫Inform the planning department, to initiate
‫completely the villa hotel advertisement. ‫Yes, general manager. ‫What did the chief
‫editor say to you? ‫Just the usual. Responsibility ‫and enthusiasm. ‫He is taking care of you. ‫He wants me to write
‫an advertisement. ‫Me! Ding hai. ‫I am a senior
‫financial journalist. ‫Zhengtai hotel
‫villa advertisement. ‫How did you know? ‫I am responsible for the photos. ‫Let’s go, partner. ‫We met before. Do
‫you still remember? ‫What about it? ‫This style is decent. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫I am not a shameless person
‫depending on women to eat. ‫I have a proper job. ‫I am just missing a
‫friend treating me to wine. ‫I don’t have interest
‫in being your friend. ‫My girlfriend just gave
‫me her wedding invitation. ‫I wished her happiness. ‫You are talking about liu yali? ‫She told me that you
‫two are just friends. ‫She told it to you this way? ‫So, I was always
‫one-sided this whole time. ‫What about you? ‫Why are you not happy? ‫I don’t have interest in
‫exchanging concerns with you. ‫A stranger who is someone you are not
‫responsible for or need to be worried about ‫is sometimes safer
‫compared to close people. ‫Close people. ‫Who are close people? ‫Family? Friend? Or lover? ‫Who can you believe? ‫Stranger. ‫You do not need to suspect what I
‫say, because I have no link with you. ‫Therefore, no matter what
‫you say, I will believe you. ‫Huh? Qing ling,
‫why are you here? ‫I am here to give ding
‫hai a midnight snack. But ‫I’ve been calling
‫him with no answer. ‫And he doesn’t like me
‫to disturb him upstairs. ‫How about you call
‫him down for me? ‫Ding hai is in a
‫meeting upstairs. ‫How about I bring it up for you? ‫That’s fine, too. I made
‫lots. Share some with everyone. ‫Thank you. ‫It’s getting late. Why
‫don’t you go back soon? ‫Be careful on the way. ‫Lying to a innocent girl. ‫Ding hai, keep sinning. ‫Do you want to go for a ride? ‫Where’s your car? ‫Thanks. ‫I didn’t drive my car today,
‫because I came to get drunk. ‫Then, what are we
‫going to do now? ‫You treated me to liquor, how
‫about I treat you now to tea? ‫Not buying drunkness anymore? ‫Where are we going? ‫Are you willing to
‫trust a stranger? ‫I would rather buy
‫a lottery ticket. ‫Let’s go. ‫- Careful.
‫- Where are we? ‫This place is not
‫officially open, but ‫my home is here. ‫Your home? ‫Which one? ‫What you mean by home is
‫that this house is yours? ‫That’s right. ‫You… ‫That’s right. This is
‫the key to the villa. ‫- What’s wrong?
‫- How come it is in his hand? ‫Can you give me
‫the key back now? ‫How big is your
‫house? How much is it? ‫What property right? ‫What are you laughing about? ‫Taxi! ‫Hey. Eh? You. ‫What are you doing? ‫Drive. ‫Hey, hey. Are you
‫out of your mind? ‫Crazy person. ‫Still investigating
‫the car accident? ‫It must be lili’s
‫big mouth again. ‫I do not blame the driver. ‫Why is that? ‫Two reasons. ‫First, because of you. ‫Because of the car accident,
‫we got close, isn’t that right? ‫And, one more reason. ‫Everyone has their
‫own moral sense. ‫This hit-and-run driver runs away
‫because he knows he made a mistake. ‫But, if you know you are
‫wrong, then you should not run. ‫Okay, okay. Look at us. ‫Sitting here appreciating
‫the view is a fortune. ‫Sometimes, letting go is
‫easier to receive happiness. ‫Try letting go. ‫Grandma already
‫said it. Then, okay. ‫Okay. ‫Ah. You mean the hit-and-run
‫driver’s sister crashed into grandma xu? ‫Older sister was scared at
‫the time, that’s why she run. ‫But, she knows she is wrong
‫now and wants to compensate. ‫She asked me for
‫help. I must help her. ‫She is my sister-in-law. ‫You already have a family. You
‫should understand my feelings. ‫But then, grandma xu
‫will be so wronged. ‫I will compensate her. ‫How can qing ling
‫accept your money? ‫Anyway, can you help me
‫keep this a secret? Okay? ‫Fine, fine. ‫Just pretend I never came here,
‫and you didn’t tell me anything. ‫I will just pretend I
‫didn’t hear anything. ‫I just know you
‫are the best, lili. ‫Okay, I already
‫told you everything. ‫What to do now is up to you. ‫Qing ling is still waiting for me
‫to transfer money. I will go now. ‫Wait, lili. ‫What did you say? You are going
‫to transfer money to qing ling? ‫Quick, sit down. Sit down! ‫How about this? I give
‫you the money and you ‫can transfer it into
‫qing ling’s account. ‫Then she will accept it. ‫Don’t forget to
‫give me the receipt. ‫Is this a good idea? ‫Qing ling will
‫definitely come to find me. ‫If anything happens,
‫just tell her to find me. ‫Lili. Lili. ‫Are you crazy? Or are you blind? ‫Do you know how much
‫extra money you transferred? ‫You transferred an extra
‫¥100,000, a whole ¥100,000. ‫You scared me! ‫Shan shan wanted to coddle
‫up to her sister-in-law, ‫so that’s why she’s
‫willing to spend that much? ‫What are you saying? ‫Shan shan gave you this money. ‫For grandma xu. ‫Shan shan. Why
‫would she do that? ‫She sees you going around about
‫the car accident. She thinks ‫you are tiring yourself. She
‫doesn’t want you to be tired. ‫I think what she says is right.
‫This case has already passed so long. ‫I think we need to
‫think about the reality. ‫If you have this money, you
‫will be better financially. ‫And, making perfume
‫costs a lot of money. ‫But, I can’t take this
‫money from shan shan. ‫Listen, shan shan thinks this
‫incidence is related to her boyfriend. ‫So, she must feel guilty inside. ‫Qing ling, I think
‫we can let it go. ‫I can’t talk clearly with
‫you. I’m going to find her. ‫Huh? I… ‫Qing ling! ‫Shan shan? I’m here. ‫- How is your foot?
‫- Much better. ‫How come you are late when
‫you arranged our meeting? ‫Sorry, sorry. I’m here now. ‫Right, give me your
‫bank account number. ‫I’m returning the money to you. ‫Why are you so stubborn? ‫Shan shan, thank you. ‫I accept your kindness, but it doesn’t
‫make sense for me to take your money. ‫If you do not agree, I will go back to get
‫cash and make another trip to your house. ‫I really can’t argue over you.
‫I will message it over later. ‫Then what are we going to do
‫about grandma’s car accident? ‫Grandma said it’s easier to
‫obtain happiness by letting go. ‫So, on second thought ‫I decided to temporarily
‫not pursue this matter. ‫- You really decided to let go?
‫- Yes. ‫Tian lang, you are home. ‫Why did you just come back? Shan shan has
‫been waiting for you here for a long time. ‫Your foot is better? ‫Almost. Thank you for sending
‫me to the hospital that day. ‫Shan shan, why
‫should you thank him? ‫If he did not trust the
‫words of a liar and drag you ‫to the police station, this
‫situation would not happen. ‫This case is still not certain. ‫Why are you still
‫serious about this? ‫Qing ling is just a criminal. ‫Last time, I almost got
‫trapped by her and an old lady. ‫If you don’t believe me, you can ask
‫lawyer chen. He helped me resolve this. ‫The same scammer. ‫- Really?
‫- You still do not believe it? ‫The swindler asked shan shan
‫for another hundred thousand. ‫Shan shan, show him
‫the bank receipt. ‫Xue qing. ‫What are you dawdling
‫about? Show it to him. ‫If you look at this you
‫will know I did not lie. ‫Tian lang, I know
‫that girl, too. ‫Last time, I gave her ten thousand
‫dollars but she did not take it. ‫I think she must
‫feel it’s too little. ‫This time she asked shan
‫shan for ten thousand. ‫I think she will
‫never let off shan shan. ‫Take a look. ‫You do not believe the words of the
‫three of us. You just believe in a picture. ‫Didn’t you also
‫buy that picture? ‫Taking it this way, the four
‫of us have all been lied to. ‫We are all victims. ‫Is your brain not working? ‫Why would you give
‫her money again? ‫For people like this,
‫the more you listen to ‫them, the more they think
‫you are easy to bully. ‫I was afraid she would
‫make trouble for you again. ‫Stupid. ‫I will settle this
‫matter out for you. ‫See? Tian lang agreed
‫to come forward for you. ‫This is an opportunity for
‫both of you to develop feelings. ‫I didn’t think you would help
‫shan shan. So warm-hearted. ‫I have hoped tian lang
‫would distant himself ‫from qing ling by
‫showing the receipt. ‫But who knows, it’s
‫just the opposite. ‫Tian lang. ‫How many times have I said it?
‫Do you not know how to knock? ‫Eat some fruit. ‫Tian lang, what do you
‫want to do about qing ling? ‫We cannot let her alone. ‫She is making trouble
‫for us again and again. ‫If we do not fight back, she
‫will think we are afraid of her. ‫You really want
‫to call the police? ‫Why not? ‫Lawyer chen and your bank receipt
‫is enough to send her to prison. ‫Tian lang, don’t be like this.
‫I am friends with her after all. ‫Did your brain break down? ‫If she really thinks of you as a
‫friend, will she bully you again and again? ‫She has her reasons to do this. ‫You don’t know. She’s an orphan. ‫Back in school, in
‫order to buy stuff for ‫children in the orphanage,
‫she sold wild flowers. ‫That’s why she thinks money
‫is important. It is reasonable. ‫Tian lang, just let
‫her off this time. Okay? ‫Just because she has
‫a reason does not mean ‫she can be excused
‫when she commits crimes. ‫Tian lang, for the sake of
‫that I am her friend, let her go. ‫I promise not to spoil
‫her again in the future. ‫If you are not speaking,
‫I will take it as a yes. ‫You are so good to me. ‫I am so moved. ‫What are you doing? ‫Say it, why do you
‫want to meet me? ‫It’s my first time seeing
‫someone as shameless as you. ‫Appearing so righteous when
‫you have done something guilty. ‫I don’t have time
‫to argue with you. ‫I am busier than you are. ‫Sign this. ‫What is it? ‫Guarantee letter. ‫Promise not to see
‫shan shan anymore. ‫Promise not to stir trouble
‫again because of the car accident. ‫No matter what the reason, promise not
‫to scam and earn money by hard work only. ‫What is this? ‫For you, it is a guarantee
‫letter. For me, it is a safeguard. ‫I agreed with shan
‫shan to let you go. ‫But I don’t think you
‫know how to be thankful. ‫To prevent you from scamming
‫again, I made this guarantee letter. ‫Sign it. ‫I will only keep my
‫promise after you sign this. ‫What promise? ‫To let you off. ‫You only have one chance. ‫Crazy person. It’s me
‫who is letting you off. ‫If it’s not for
‫shan shan’s sake, ‫I would have
‫already beat you up. ‫For the car accident
‫matter… for assaulting me. ‫Shut up. ‫That is a misunderstanding. I do not
‫allow you to make slanderous remarks. ‫Dare to act but afraid
‫to take responsibility. ‫Ah, I know. ‫This is how you put someone
‫in the seat of a criminal ‫and then threaten them. ‫I believe not too long from now,
‫you will say I sexually assaulted you., ‫and then demand
‫compensation from me. ‫What do you mean?
‫Are you insulting me? ‫I don’t know why shan shan
‫fancies someone like you. ‫The air stinks. ‫My mood is so much better. ‫This smell… ‫This. ‫You! ‫Return it to you! ‫Why does this smell
‫brighten someone’s mood? ‫- Qing ling.
‫- Ah hai. ‫Here. Your share of the money. ‫Thanks. ‫Why are you so polite
‫with me. Is ¥2000 enough? ‫Enough. They are not
‫out of money anyway. ‫But this not the same. This is
‫the daughter of your higher up. ‫You should buy more gifts.
‫Maybe they will be nicer to you. ‫You really believe in anything. ‫This is the money for
‫the woman I want to pursue. ‫It’s really enough. ‫This is bad. I can’t believe I
‫forgot my appointment with aunty. ‫I will call my mom and
‫tell her you are with me. ‫Let her wait a bit. ‫No. It’s my fault anyway.
‫I should have arrived. ‫How about…? Okay,
‫can you call aunty? ‫Help me persuade her. I am
‫afraid she is angry at me. ‫Did my mother upset you？ ‫of course not. ‫It’s because I am too stupid. ‫Ah hai, help me
‫think of something. ‫What can I do to
‫make aunty happy? ‫Stupid, you are
‫doing good already. ‫Qing ling, don’t
‫blame my mother. ‫She had a hard time
‫bringing me up by herself. ‫She is hard on you
‫because she loves me. ‫Don’t worry, of
‫course I know that. ‫You are a kind person. ‫She will understand you over
‫time. She will definitely like you. ‫Okay, then I will go now. Mistress, hurry up. His Majesty is already waiting at the sleeping palace for you. Okay, I know. Mistress, I’m going to get your clothes. Her Lady will be done with her bath soon. Stack up these clothes now. Yes. Where’s the apron undergarment? Your Highness, Xiao Ruizi is here. Let him in. Greetings, Your Highness. – Rise.
– Thank you, Your Highness. How is it? To answer Your Highness, Imperial Physician Jiang rushed his way back to the capital But when he passed by Shandong, don’t know if it was because of exhaustion or due to improper intake, he developed diarrhea. He got delayed for a few days. Now, he is better and rushing to return to the capital. He’s sick? Then, what about Yongqi and Consort Shut? All are fine. Fifth Prince condition has improved. For Consort Shu, other than being weak, there is no other problems. I am at ease then. Leave and have your rest. Thank you. Yes. Your Highness Empress… Something bad happened to Lord Ling. What is it? Tonight, it was supposed to be Noble Consort Jia attending to His Majesty in his chambers. Who knew that when House Momo was preparing the clothes of Noble Consort Jia, she noticed that Noble Consort Jia lingerie is missing. Li Yu led some men to investigate. In the end, they found it in the wardrobe of Lord Ling. Ling Yunche? Li Yu found it? Yes. So many people saw it. His Majesty got so mad. Noble Consort Jia kept asking His Majesty to execute Lord Ling. Lord Ling has been tortured. Eunuch Li relayed a message asking for your suggestion. Let’s go to His Majesty. I didn’t! So, did I falsely accuse you? Stop! Her Highness Empress is here! Stop making it bloody. I…didn’t… Your Majesty, this is a great insult. It’s better that I just die. Your Majesty, I don’t want to live anymore. You won’t die. Greetings, Your Majesty. Empress, you’re also here this late? For the imperial harem to be not peaceful, it’s a negligence in my duty. It’s not your fault. It’s the hands of the people around me that was dirty. Doing such a shameless act. Li Yu! Your Majesty. They said that the lingerie of Noble Consort Jia disappeared and was found in the bedroom of the guards, is that right? Yes. The Momo’s noticed that Noble Consort Jia’s lingerie was missing. I dare sent people to quietly look for it. In the end… In the end, among the clothes of Guard Ling, we found this. Noble Consort Jia, is that your lingerie? Of course, it’s mine. His Majesty said that color suits me. His Majesty likes it. Isn’t it, Your Majesty. Let’s not talk about those now. Your Majesty… Your Majesty… Your Majesty, for something like that to happen around you, you indeed should give strict punishment. But after hearing it, I felt that this matter might seem so seamlessly obvious, you have evidences to backed it, however, there seems to be something that’s off. Your Highness Empress already said that it is seamless and you have evidences to backed it, what else would be strange then? Noble Consort Jia, if someone really stole this delicate clothing of yours, he should be hiding it close to him. Why would he placed it in a side room where there are a lot of people? Is he deliberately waiting for other people to find it? Greetings, Mistress Ling. Your Majesty, Guard Ling has loyally serve you ever since. If this matter is a scheme to frame him, if you kill him out of a moment of anger, you will have one less loyal servant by your side. The grievances of Noble Consort Jia will also be in vain. Your Highness Empress, are you asking for leniency for that shameless person? I am thinking for the sake of His Majesty. This is the first southern patrol of His Majesty since he ascended to the throne. He aims to imitate the sacred journey of Shengzhu in understanding the true situations of citizens and to promote his imperial graces. If because of your matter, we kill a guard, and this matter gets out, it might spread as some scandal and destroy the reputation of His Majesty. I want to see His Majesty. Yes. Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness Empress. Why are you here? I heard that something bad happened in your chamber. I was afraid that you’ll be so mad and hurt your health, so I rushed towards here. Who knows if you’re really worried about His Majesty or is here to laugh at me. Enough! Lessen your words. Yes. But Your Majesty, I heard what Her Highness Empress said while at the door earlier. I think that what she said is very reasonable. Actually, mistakenly killing a Guard Ling is not some big deal, but tainting your reputation is a major matter. Why don’t Your Majesty just let an eyesore not stay by your side? Just drive him far away, since as long as you don’t see it, it won’t affect you. Consort Ling’s suggestion is a good compromise. Your Majesty, you heard it! After suffering such great insult, Her Highness Empress and Consort Ling are even begging for leniency for that lowly guard. Noble Consort Jia, Consort Ling and I are doing this for the reputation of the imperial family. Why must you publicize this? Can’t you think for His Majesty’s sake? Fine. Li Yu, give my order to send Ling Yunche to the Mulan Hunting Grounds as a sweeper. He is not allowed to return to the capital anymore. Yes. With such a huge thing like this happening, Your Majesty, you must be tired today. Rest early. Noble Consort Jia might also be unable to attend to you well tonight. I’ll send someone to escort her back. – Consort Ling, stay.
– Yes. Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Ling Yunche is heavily injured this time. He needs to recuperate a little before setting out. Your Highness, don’t worry. I will arrange for a safe place for him, so he can recuperate, before sending him to Lanmu Hunting Grounds. I’ll leave everything to you then. Yes. In Your Highness’ opinion, who schemed against Lord Ling tonight? Could it be Noble Consort Jia set him up herself? Noble Consort Jia has no grudges with Guard Ling. Moreover, why will she destroy her own reputation? Who could it be that will want the life of Guard Ling? Your Highness, could it be she is targeting you? Maybe. But why is Consort Ling being good to Guard Ling? She even came to beg leniency for him. Tomorrow, deliver some medicines to Guard Ling. Yes. At the last moment, Mistress, why did you hesitate? Now that Ling Yunche didn’t die, all of the efforts of Eunuch Jinzhong was in vain. He surely will not easily let this go. He’s just an eunuch. You think I’ll be afraid of him? Mistress. Greetings, Mistress Ling. I came to tell you that you must be extra careful in attending His Majesty. Don’t let His Majesty notice that even if you are by his side, your heart is with Ling Yunche. So what if I don’t want Ling Yunche to die? So what? You tell me. You told me to eliminate Ling Yunche. I did it, but you went to beg for leniency. What do you mean by that? I do want to get rid of Ling Yunche. But I don’t wish him dead. Since he’s been kicked out now, it’s the same. It was me who owed him back then and now it’s paying back. But Jin Zhong, if you’re someone who can be content, we can ask for wealthy and glory together. But if this incident becomes an issue, Empress will want to preserve her savior Ling Yunche. And she will give me a break here or there. But you, if Noble Consort Jia finds out? You had her shamed. She will have you killed first thing. Yanwan. Your wings have hardened. So you’re really unafraid that His Majesty will find out you and him were a thing in the past? You dare to threaten me? Then let’s go our separate ways. You can go ahead and tell His Majesty. How did I beg you back then in order to climb up? How did I agree to you? I will watch and see if His Majesty will loathe you or loathe me more. Great. Very great. You forgot the suffering you had at Noble Consort Jia’s then. If it weren’t for me, would you have the pampering of today? Eunuch Jin Zhong, look how you’re speaking. That’s unfair of you to say that to my mistress. My mistress is only devoted to serving HIs Majesty. And she also remembers you and her partnership. If it weren’t for her fear that if Emperor, Empress and Noble Consort kept going last night, you might become exposed. So my mistress wouldn’t have chased Ling Yunche out. To finish this issue. Mistress Ling. I also cherish you. Your pampering didn’t come easily so you ought to treasure it. Jin Zhong, don’t forget now. You and I are roped together. Don’t be brash now. Don’t let Empress and Li Yu find out you did this. Yes, your servant is aware. Then your servant has chores left, hence must leave first. Mistress, keep your anger at bay. Empress knows you were wronged unfairly. But this incident is linked to the honor of the harem. And due to His Majesty’s reputation, we can’t investigate outright. So Empress told me to bring no-worry-berries (soapberries) to you. Empress. She wishes for me to be worry free? No worry and no trouble is something no one can achieve. But Empress said soapberries are tolerant to cold and heat, as well as chill-resistant. She wants you to be, no matter where you are, to be able to endure a temporary bitterness for future prospect. She also said, you did not leave proudly. If you want to come back, you must do so proudly and properly. Empress wishes for me to return? Naturally. Did you think she wanted you to keep you at Mulan Paddock, and cut off all things and be defeated? The grace of Empress I have no way to repay. Much gratitude to Empress. And also Consort Ling who made a plea on my behalf. Take care of yourself. Thank you, Madam Rong Pei. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Her Highness is here. Greetings, Your Highness. You don’t need to stand up. You only got back to the capital last night and you rushed to Chuxiu Palace today? I was worried. Hence, I’m here to take a look at you. Just that I’m in this state now. I feel ashamed to face you and Emperor. His Majesty is still busy at Yangxin Palace. I came to see you first. We are all women. We needn’t be mindful of these. These days, Sister Shu would only see me too. Actually you and the child are the priority. All else can be healed. I hope so. Mistress, Imperial Physician Jiang is here to take your pulse. Tell him to come in now. No need to greet me. Hurry and tell me how Consort Shu is. Consort Shu is just suffering from a weak kidney and having pregnancy spots. Everything else is nothing of issue. Pregnancy spots, once you put on some powder, you can’t really seem them easily. Sister Shu’s beauty has always been outstanding among the wives. So she must treasure it especially and it’s that much harder. It’s a common thing to have weak kidney in pregnancy. Once your child is born and you take your time to heal, it will all be alright in time. How is the baby? All is well. I will go now and prescribe a few more fetus stabilizing medicines. Fine. Fortunately, the baby is fine. Yes. The child is fine and that’s all that matters. As for the rest, it’s not that important. Yes. This is me and His Majesty’s child. So great. Emperor, Consort Shu should be close to her due date? Soon. Consort Shu has a weak kidney in pregnancy. And it’s her first child so she can’t manage all alone. But she is too anxious to send the baby to Xiefang Hall. I am idle. Once the child is born, how about we bring it here to be raised here? Royal Mother, this isn’t your first time being a grandmother. You still love babies so much? Consort Shu was someone I recommended to you. So it pangs me more. What do you think, Emperor? I fear Consort Shu couldn’t spare it. Consort Shu can’t spare then we can just have her come to Cining Palace often. This child is still in the womb. And Consort Shu is already sickly. What if you and the child has a faint fate? And you block each other. It’s better to just let me raise it. You’re right, Royal Mother. With your careful nurturing, it’s Consort Shu and her baby’s blessing. Lower the sedan. Greetings, Your Majesty. Rise. Li Yu, while in Hangzhou, Empress and I, as well as Consort Ling and Astronomy Bureau discussed star signs. We discussed Consort Shu’s child but we didn’t make it a public news. You go find out who brought the words to Royal Mother. Yes, I shall go and summon the astrologist soon. Your Majesty, if it weren’t by your order, no one dares to make the issue public. Just that, when I was at the temporary palace that day and on my way out after hearing the astrologist, I saw Concubine Mei waiting outside saying she wanted to see you. But I remembered she didn’t come to see you that day. Maybe Concubine Mei heard something and got caught by Concubine Ling. About this… Sister Mei, you’re here to see His Majesty? I know you’re favored. But I can’t come see him too? I will help you to tell him then. No need. Summon Concubine Mei for me. His Majesty, Sir Fu Heng has been waiting for quite some time to see you. Then send Fu Heng in first. Li Yu, have Concubine Mei come in after evening. The rest, leave. Yes. I’m taking my leave. Greetings to Concubine Mei. I was just going to go to Yonghe Palace but I ran into you here. What’s it for? His Majesty asks you to go to Yangxin Hall after dark to talk. His Majesty wants to see me? After dark? It’s not over tag flipping for bed service. His Majesty’s royal order. You just go along then. I got it. Mistress, it’s bad. What’s happened? His Majesty summoned Madam Bai Ruiji to Yangxin Hall. Last time at Hangzhou palace, Empress Dowager made such a mention and I still didn’t see His Majesty pay attention to Bai Ruiji. Why is he suddenly wanting to speak to her and so serious. His Majesty must have something to ask her. I heard it and knew right away it was strange to came to tell you. Very good. Last time, Noble Consort Chun spoke too much. And she mentioned Empress Xiaoxian falling in water incident before Empress and Bai Ruiji was acting strange. Maybe Empress said something to cause Emperor to be suspicious. To ask Bai Ruiji about it? If she gets me involved, then it’s not good. Mistress, we must think of a way quickly. It’s my fault for faltering and leaving such a seed for trouble. I won’t be soft ever again. Mistress, what is this? I brought this from my home. Take it and add some to Bai Ruiji’s food. You must do this cautiously. Then I shall go first. [ Yonghe Palace ] Enough. Qixiang Palace ones are tested. Take them in. Yes. Wait. Let me see the Yonghe Palace ones so I can test them too. You are so nice, Lixin. Yonghe Palace isn’t favored but you still help them. My mistress once lost pampering too. We pity those who aren’t favored, so I want to help. Qixiang Palace personnel could be so kind-hearted? To even test Yonghe Palace food for them? Attention uncalled for must have suspicion to it. Thanks to you too, and wipe some sweat now. Thank you, Sister Lixin. Alright. Go. Mistress, the junior eunuch who delivered dinner said, Qixiang Palace was testing poison for food and did ours too. Do we still test again? If you want to test it, go get the silver needle. If not, never mind. Qixiang Palace can’t be wanting to poison me to death? Yes. Qixiang Palace bothers to make effort to test for you. You don’t find it meddlesome? I think, though you don’t frequent around the palace after your illness, you still trust Qixiang Palace. Greetings to Empress. Greetings to Consort Yu. What leisure mindset brings you two here to Yonghe Palace today? Please sit. You all leave. Empress and I were just passing by Qixiang Palace. We saw Lixin testing for poison for you and found it suspicious to we came around here to see. Consort Yu, I don’t have much business with Qixiang Palace. But her well-intentions, I needn’t be suspicious of. If this is the reason that causes you suspicion, then I can use my silver needle to test for you. The silver needle hasn’t changed in color. Consort Yu, you are being petty here. Good if it’s nothing. Just that what kind of person Noble Consort Jia of Qixiang Palace really is. You and I both have some ideas. She shows sudden great concern for you. Consort Yu and I came just to remind you to be careful. Thank you for your concern. I know right and wrong. Noble Consort Jia shouldn’t have defamed your honor in order to fight for position. But the incident has passed and the punishment done. Why bother bringing up such things with me again. If you’re so worried, I’ll have my parrot eat it. I feel bloated from the medication and can’t eat anyway. I heard you were feeling ill lately. Is the medicine helping? It’s not much. I just don’t like walking around. After I take medicine, I just want quiet rest. Empress, I took some medicine not long ago and I would like to rest alone now. Fine then. You rest up. Sending Empress off with honor. Empress! This parrot. It was just fine. I will send your dinner to Jiang Yubin to check if anything wrong. Concubine Mei. You don’t think now Qixiang Palace is trying to poison your parrot to death, right? Mistress, His Majesty summoned you to go to Yangxin Palace. It’s time now. Empress. I need to go serve His Majesty. You and Consort Yu’s well-intention. I misunderstood you. Let me bid you my apology. You hurry and go to Yangxin Hall now. If any news from Jiang Yubin, I will let you know. Yes. So scary. Someone almost died just now. This palace, someone dies is such an easy matter. We can only live in fright. This is suffocating me to death. Concubine Mei was favored but she lost her son and the favor. She only had that little joyful period of her life and the rest is darkness. What Concubine Mei cared about the most in life was the incident of losing her son. If it weren’t for that child-losing, she wouldn’t have lost her health and her favor. She’s pitiful indeed. But I don’t see her and Noble Consort Jia spending much time together either. Noble Consort Jia wanting her death like this. There must be a reason we aren’t aware of. At Hangzhou temporary palace, you and Concubine Qing performed together. I didn’t bother attending to you on the account of Concubine Qing. Do you know why? I know I’ve been sick for a long time. And my appearance is less than before. I can’t easily arouse your interest. I have no words of resentment. All your life, you lived for others. You never really lived for yourself. You really don’t resent it? There are so many things for me to resent. I just don’t know which to resent then. I know you resent the most about our child being harmed. But I want to ask you. Who brought you to this place? To let you be wrapped in resentment but with nothing in the end? – Your Majesty.
– Royal Mother hid you so well. On the surface, it was Concubine Qing and Consort Shu that she sent to me. But in the dark, she had already placed you long ago. If it weren’t for you being a suspicion this time. Then I wouldn’t have had someone look into your background. Your Majesty knew it all. I know your health is weak. You can get up and talk. What did you say? Concubine Mei went to Yangxin Hall to see His Majesty? Then she didn’t get a chance to eat dinner? It must be the case. Or else she wouldn’t be alive to see him. But seeing how it’s quiet in the palace, His Majesty only just conversed with her and nothing else. I still don’t feel at ease. I need to find an opportunity to get rid of her soon. [ Royal Physician’s Court ] Greetings to Concubine Mei. Where’s my medicine? You needn’t come. When the medicine is done, it will be delivered to you. No. I want to see for myself. Yes. This way, please. This way. [ Concubine Mei ] [ Noble Consort Jia ] [ Concubine Qing ] Your Highness, be careful. I need to add medicine. This is for me? Yes. Wait. You smell this yourself. What is this smell? It’s already damp and you still boil it? No wonder it’s useless. This. Can’t be. You want to fool me? No. Hurry and change to better. Yes. Greetings to Empress. Get on up. How’s the investigation with Concubine Mei’s food? There’s nothing wrong with the food. But in the rice, someone mixed in some powder. It’s not a common poison. I used silver needle to test it and the needle didn’t change color. I then fed it to the cat in the royal physician’s court. The cat had convulsion and heart palpitation and died. The death was similar to that parrot’s. This must not have come from the royal kitchen. It’s likely done by Qixiang Palace. Concubine Mei is a sensible person. She will think through it. And she will tell you why Noble Consort Jia wants to harm her. I have another matter to report to you. Go ahead. When His Majesty was out on patrol, Consort Shu had edema from pregnancy. I looked at the prescription done by the royal physician’s court. There were two medicines in there that shouldn’t fare. One of them is Akebia and the other is Euphorbia. These two herbs are great medicines that hydrate. It’s no trouble for ordinary people to use. But if used upon someone who suffers from kidney weakness, it will be harmful to the kidney. Consort Shu took conception medicine for a long time. Is that harmful to the kidney? Consort Shu did indeed have her kidney harmed from years of drinking conception medicine. Someone who is pregnant usually suffers from kidney ailment. But she only developed the spots due to the medicine. Then does the physician that treats Concubine Shu know this? I can’t be sure. Physician Qi is already dead. Some things he may not have told his peers. Unless the physician who prescribed that medicine had already seen Consort Shu’s conception prescription from before. But still insist putting these two medicines in. Tell me, do you think Consort Shu’s kidney ailment can affect the fetus? This is something I have not dare to tell Consort Shu. I don’t want her to be upset. Pregnant mother’s kidney ailment will go to the fetus. She not only did not see improvements, she’s suffered more loss. So the fetus could not have gotten stronger. And I suddenly contracted an illness while in Shandong. It was diarrhea that appeared in an unlikely time. It barred me from treating Consort Shu in the golden time. You also find your illness at Shandong unusual? Yes. But I have no evidence. We can only worry about the baby in Consort Shu’s womb now. I understand. Mistress, I got the restoration tonic. You should drink it while it’s warm. This medicine is so bitter. I hope after I drink it, I can be pregnant with a royal heir sooner. You will. You surely will. Mistress. You playing such a tune chills me upon hearing it. I was playing it for that parrot. To have him go to the netherworld with some ease. It’s just a parrot. Don’t get too sad over it. I’m not sad. He went to wait for me. Mistress, what are you talking about? Nothing. This whole life of mine, I made wedding dresses for others. Mistress. The deadline looms. Nothing matters now. Everyone wants my life. Come and get it then. What’s happened? Sister. What’s wrong with her? Last night, she already took medicine to stop blood collapse. But I don’t know why her stomach’s been hurting till now. Where’s the royal physician? Physician Bao came by to see already. He went to test the medicine residue. How is it? It hurts. Greetings to mistresses. Hurry and get up. What’s happened to her? Thank you, Your Highness. Concubine Qing’s blood restoration medicine.
[ Royal Physician Bao ] Someone put Achyranthes and Aconite in it. These last few days, she’s been having menstrual. She already suffers from uterine bleeding. How could she handle this? This medicine was boiled in the royal physician’s court. Go and have a look there. I’ll send someone there right away. – Yexin.
– Yes. No need to investigate. I did it. You? You? You and I got along though. I don’t want to get along anymore. I don’t want to see you favored. That’s it. This Concubine Mei, has she gone nuts? What does she gain from harming Concubine Qing? I don’t know either. The incident happened and she confessed right away. It’s asking to die. Concubine Mei knows Concubine Qing is from me. But she dares to touch her. There’s got to be a story to it. Empress Dowager, we can’t find out anymore. His Majesty wants to grand death to Concubine Mei. Then what about Concubine Qing? Did they save her? Her life is preserved but her health foundation is harmed. She won’t ever get to be pregnant again. That poisonous woman. She lost her own kid. But she wants Concubine Qing to be infertile too. She didn’t confess about me, right? She didn’t. Concubine Mei only confessed her own crime and nothing else. Emperor wants to have her dead and that’s fine too. It spares me from worrying. Empress, it’s His Majesty’s command. May you witness Concubine Mei be granted death personally. Don’t let it be known. I got it. Mistress, Aunt Suoxin is here. Mistress. Greetings to Empress. Get on up. Eunuch Li.
– Suoxin is here. Then, I’ll take my leave. Did it go well? All well. I prepared the sacrificial offering and the joss sticks overnight. I chose an auspicious site with good fengshui. I put Concubine Mei and her son’s birth pillars and characters. And I arranged for a Buddhist memorial service before the hour of Rat. I hope the two mother and son pair can reunite in the ground. That’s good then. You can say this is to grant a wish of Concubine Mei’s. ‫do you remember now? ‫Isn’t this your car? ‫Shan shan, ‫surrender yourself. Escaping
‫isn’t a way to resolve this. ‫If you are too scared to go
‫to the police, I’ll go with you. ‫I have heard the victim isn’t hurt badly.
‫As long as you sincerely apologize… ‫I didn’t do it. I
‫said I didn’t do it. ‫Before leaving the country, I gave the
‫car keys to my sister and only you knew. ‫And the only one who can freely get
‫in and out of my sister’s room is you. ‫Even now, you are still not admitting
‫you’re the one who secretly drove my car. ‫It’s not me. I already
‫said it’s not me. ‫Shan shan, what’s wrong? Why
‫do call me here so urgently? ‫Xue qing, you finally came.
‫This time I have a huge problem. ‫You have to help me. I didn’t do
‫it on purpose. I just wanted to play. ‫But you have to tell
‫me what happened first. ‫That day… I drove
‫tian lang’s car out. ‫I hit a person. ‫Shan shan, you hit a person? ‫I didn’t do it on purpose. I was driving
‫and suddenly this person hit my car. ‫Hit your car. ‫Ohh, I get it now.
‫You have met a scammer. ‫Scammer. Yes, them. ‫They hit onto my car and
‫wanted a lot of money from me. ‫I was afraid then so I
‫just gave them the money. ‫How could you do this? You should’ve call
‫the police first in that kind of situation. ‫I had to go to Singapore for a
‫meeting the next day. If I had ‫called the police, it definitely
‫would’ve affected my schedule. ‫I had to immediately go to school.
‫Even if it wasn’t me who crashed. ‫This rumor would be really
‫bad for my dad and his company. ‫I don’t want tian lang to hate me. Thinking
‫that if it can be resolved by money… ‫So I used money to resolve it. ‫Okay, you thought too much. But isn’t
‫this letting the people go too easily? ‫Right now, the main problem
‫is, I don’t know where tian lang ‫found a picture. He believed
‫firmly that I’m the one who hit them ‫and he wants me to go
‫to the police tomorow. ‫Sister, you have to help me.
‫I’m innocent. You have to help me! ‫How come tian lang didn’t
‫trust his own person? ‫Shan shan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely
‫help you so you won’t be wronged. ‫Are you thinking of
‫shan shan’s problem? ‫Look at this yourself. ‫This isn’t even shan
‫shan crashing into people. ‫This is clearly the
‫aftermath of a fraud. ‫- Where did you get this picture?
‫- I spent money and bought it. ‫Even you got tricked.
‫This group of swindlers ‫already took shan shan’s
‫money and still didn’t stop. ‫Shan shan gave them money? ‫Look, if she didn’t do it then
‫why did she give them money? ‫How come you don’t believe her?
‫Shanshan met a scammer and gave them money. ‫Who sold the picture to you?
‫I’ll call the police to catch them. ‫What you’re saying is that the
‫person who sold me this picture ‫and the victim are together
‫with the purpose to trick me. ‫Of course, why would they take the
‫money and still mention old matters? ‫This bunch of liars is never. ‫They have already succeeded once and
‫still want to succeed a second time. ‫Okay, then I’ll report this to
‫the police and catch all these liars ‫to prevent this from happening
‫endlessly in the future. ‫Nan! ‫- Shan shan!
‫- Nan, I miss you so much. ‫I miss you, too! ‫I heard you came home a long time
‫ago. Why don’t you come and see me? ‫Didn’t you go on vacation? I heard
‫you came back so I came right away. ‫Nan, I bought a gift
‫for you. Do you like it? ‫Oh. ‫To let you go on this
‫expense, sorry to trouble you. ‫Wow, this hat is so beautiful. ‫Nan, I have also bought a gift for
‫tian lang. Can I bring it to his room? ‫- Of course you can.
‫- Go ahead. ‫Who sold the picture to
‫tian lang? I must find him. ‫Where is it? If I can’t find
‫it, it will be troublesome. ‫What to do if it goes
‫to the police station? ‫Even if this can be hidden
‫from tian lang, but it ‫cannot hold out on the police.
‫I can’t let this get big. ‫Shan shan. ‫- Nan.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Why are you flipping
‫through tian lang’s things? ‫Did you make a mess?
‫He will be upset. ‫Nan, please I beg you. ‫Please keep this a
‫secret for me, okay? ‫Please don’t tell tian lang.
‫He will definitely be angry. ‫I didn’t say I will tell him. ‫Tian lang already dislikes me. ‫I am afraid if he knows,
‫he will ignore me forever. ‫What happened between
‫you and tian lang? ‫- Did you guys meet?
‫- Yes. ‫Nan, help me. Please
‫help me. I beg of you. ‫Let’s sit down first. ‫Just what happened? ‫Hey, stop right here! Don’t
‫think you will be leaving today. ‫It’s you again. Are
‫you following me? ‫You came here at a
‫perfect time. There is ‫more than one thing I
‫need to settle with you. ‫We can talk about the rest later.
‫Let’s first discuss your scamming. ‫- Scamming?
‫- I just don’t understand. ‫Aren’t you and ju shan shan
‫friends? How can you do this to her? ‫Really never thought
‫that even though you are ‫so young, you are already
‫full of evil schemes. ‫I didn’t understand a word you said.
‫What does this have to do with shanshan? ‫Let me tell you, I came
‫here today just to ask ‫you on July 23rd who was
‫the one driving this car? ‫What? The money for selling the picture
‫is not enough? You still want more? ‫What money for selling
‫the picture? Say it clearly. ‫You are still acting. ‫I will not be deceived again. ‫Who else is there other than me? ‫You are still pretending? ‫If I gave this picture to the
‫police, then you will know to be afraid. ‫Do what you like. If it
‫doesn’t have anything to do with ‫shanshan, then I won’t have
‫to worry about hurting her. ‫Tomorrow, whoever does not arrive at
‫the police station will be a little dog. ‫I will wait for you tomorrow. ‫What? How can you
‫experience a thing like this! ‫Therefore, I must find that picture.
‫If they take it to the police station… ‫It will be inexcusable
‫no matter what I say. ‫Shan shan, no offense but how can
‫you make such friends? So not genuine. ‫I think she took the florist
‫grandma there on purpose to scam you. ‫Girls these days, just never
‫give up until they reach their goal. ‫She must have wanted to
‫get some money from you. ‫Nan, what should I do? ‫I think what tian lang is doing is
‫correct. We must hold them with the law. ‫But they are together as a group,
‫they can testify for each other. ‫This is practically
‫a scamming team. ‫If my mom was still here, she
‫would let no one bully me like this. ‫I miss my mom! ‫Okay, okay. ‫Shan shan and xin xin
‫are the same age. Will xin ‫xin also be crying like
‫this calling for mom? ‫If she was bullied,
‫will anyone help her? ‫Shan shan, nan will
‫help you pay them back. ‫Nan, you are so nice to me. ‫Set up a time with her. ‫I’d like to see what
‫kind of girl this is. ‫Hello? Shan shan. ‫Really? So many. ‫Of, course. No problem. No, no, no. I
‫will definitely get it there by 10 o’clock. ‫Grandma, a huge order arrived. ‫100 roses. 30
‫pots of poinsettia. ‫So many? Who asked for it? ‫Jushi holiday resort. We must get
‫it there before ten. Let’s hurry. ‫This is all. Please
‫check if it’s correct. ‫Yes, that’s correct. Ms. Qing
‫ling, please come inside with me. ‫Where are we going? You still
‫didn’t pay me for the flowers. ‫Pay inside. ‫It’s here. ‫Thank you. ‫Hello. Is this where
‫I get my payment? ‫I don’t need this much. ‫There is only this much, too. ‫No, I think you are mistaken. ‫There is no more
‫than this, either. ‫If you are sensible,
‫just quickly take it. ‫Greedy people will
‫not have a good end. ‫No, aunty, you must be mistaken. ‫Mom, don’t go, don’t go! ‫- Mom, don’t go!
‫- Let me go! ‫Mom! ‫Aren’t you qing ling? ‫Yes. How do you
‫know? You know me? ‫I understand your background. ‫Grown up in an orphanage.
‫Working at a florist. ‫I heard recently that you and a middle
‫age woman scammed in front of a fancy car. ‫Do you guys also depend on
‫scamming for extra income? ‫What are you saying? What
‫scamming and swindling? ‫Why are you so rushed? ‫You appear to be quite clever. ‫How can you do such a thing? ‫I think this is not what
‫this orphanage taught you. ‫Let me tell you, you are not
‫permitted to insult the orphanage. ‫You are the one humiliating
‫your orphanage’s reputation. ‫I’m warning you. This ¥10,000 is my limit.
‫Please do not trouble my child anymore. ‫Let alone, tricking their money,
‫or else, I won’t be easy on you. ‫You are absurd. ‫I don’t know who you are
‫or who your children are. ‫I just want my flower
‫bill. I won’t take the rest. ‫Huh. See. The
‫fox’s tail shows up. ‫Just now, I have recorded your
‫process of taking the money. ‫This is the proof of
‫you extorting money. ‫I told you, I will just take my flower
‫money. I will not take a penny extra. ‫But this recording, only taped
‫your process of taking the money. ‫Why would you frame
‫me? Just who are you? ‫This is called a
‫tooth for a tooth. ‫Who are you? ‫Who am I, is not important.
‫But I want to remind you, ‫if you want to live a wealthy
‫life, use your own hands. ‫Crooked ways will not prevail. ‫Tell me, if I really hand
‫this recording to the police ‫and let them display
‫it on the web, ‫I wonder how long you can still
‫stay in this city? If I were you, ‫I would take the money,
‫and the case about the ‫car accident will be
‫wiped off once and for all. ‫I will also not give
‫you additional money. ‫Car accident?
‫Grandma’s accident. ‫Just who are you exactly? ‫Don’t forget your evidence. ‫Madam! ‫Madam, this is your belonging.
‫You forgot to take it. ‫What to do? What to do? I must prevent
‫him from going to the police station. ‫- Stop the car.
‫- What? You want to run away? ‫It’s already eleven. Police also
‫need to take a break. Moreover, ‫I am with you from morning till
‫now without time for breakfast. ‫I am hungry to death. Stop
‫the car. I want to eat now. ‫What are you yelling
‫for? When we arrived at the ‫police station, I will get
‫you something to eat nearby. ‫I can’t wait. Just that one! ‫Just that one! What are
‫you doing? It’s dangerous. ‫Just eat a bit randomly.
‫Quickly stop the car. ‫Hey, shan shan. ‫Are you sure you
‫want to eat here? ‫I am so hungry. Let’s just
‫randomly eat a little here. ‫The food safety here
‫is definitely not ‫qualified. If you want
‫to eat, eat by yourself. ‫Then you can just wait here. I
‫have been waiting for you all morning. ‫- Boss, a bowl of noodle please.
‫- Okay, just a moment. ‫Never mind. Pain it shall be. ‫- Your noodle is ready.
‫- Thank you. ‫Shan shan, what happened? ‫- My foot… so painful.
‫- How is it? ‫Is it alright? ‫Bring me to the hospital. ‫Thank you, doctor. ‫It hurts so much. Why am I so unlucky? To
‫get into this state just by eating a meal. ‫Okay, okay. Stop whining.
‫Oh right, shan shan ‫you wait here for me. I
‫will go get the prescription. ‫Why don’t you take the
‫suit off? It’s so dirty. ‫You will get the
‫inside wet, too. ‫Please hold it for me. ‫There are a lot of people. It will probably
‫take a couple minutes. Wait here for me. ‫You tell me that you hurt yourself
‫like this for such a small matter. ‫If you crash into
‫someone, just apologize, ‫and give more compensation.
‫It will not look good ‫if you have something
‫like this on your record. ‫You are the heir to
‫shancheng enterprise. ‫Don’t worry. I am the daughter of
‫ju shiping. I won’t bring you shame. ‫I will definitely
‫settle this matter right. ‫As long as I have this,
‫everything will be fine. ‫You already made yourself like
‫this. What is there to be happy about? ‫To do big things, you cannot
‫just depend on petty tricks. ‫To inherit shancheng enterprise,
‫you still have lots to learn. ‫Dad, can’t you not
‫always crack me down. ‫Assistant manager Yang. ‫Why are you here?
‫Where is shan shan? ‫Director ju sent shan shan back. ‫Did he give you my suit? ‫No, I don’t know. ‫Gosh, my car keys are
‫still in the jacket. ‫It’s assistant manager Yang. ‫It’s surely duan tian lang
‫calling for his jacket. You just ‫tell him that the jacket is at the
‫dry cleaner and tell him to fetch it. ‫I still don’t know
‫what that aunty is. ‫So you were here! ‫Sorry, I am late. ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫She still has the nerve to
‫ask. It’s all because of you! ‫I just came. What does
‫it have to do with me? ‫Okay, I don’t want to
‫argue with you. Didn’t ‫you say to go to the
‫police station? Let’s go. ‫What to do when we go there?
‫The picture is washed into a mess. ‫Are you doing this on purpose?
‫Look at the time right now! ‫I already apologized to
‫you. What else do you want? ‫What do I want? I want
‫to ask what you want! ‫You person… ‫- Manager…
‫- What? ‫Can you lower your voice a
‫bit. So many people are watching. ‫- Come with me.
‫- What are you doing? ‫We will find a quiet place to
‫discuss this matter in detail. ‫What are you looking at? ‫Vice president, just
‫now manager grabbed a girl ‫away. ‫- What are you doing? Let go!
‫- Sit down! ‫What are you doing? ‫You pervert! Believe it, I will
‫call the police to capture you. ‫You watch too much TV. ‫If it’s not that I
‫don’t have the evidence, ‫I can also call the
‫police to capture you. ‫I didn’t do anything wrong. ‫He’s a pervert. This
‫place is dangerous. ‫No. I must run. ‫Hey! ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫Tian lang! ‫You guys… what
‫are you guys doing? ‫Tian lang, this is your private
‫resting chamber. How did she come in? ‫Older sister,
‫don’t misunderstand. ‫You pervert! You are not human! ‫Tian lang, what is going on? ‫Older sister, don’t misunderstand.
‫I am not interested in that woman. ‫I have a smell? You are the
‫one who has a smell on your body! ‫Unfathomable! Taking
‫advantage of me. If I had ‫known earlier I should
‫have kicked him more. ‫The east villa including decorations,
‫all finished reconstruction. ‫We can start operating it as a
‫villa hotel starting next week. ‫Inform the planning department, to initiate
‫completely the villa hotel advertisement. ‫Yes, general manager. ‫What did the chief
‫editor say to you? ‫Just the usual. Responsibility ‫and enthusiasm. ‫He is taking care of you. ‫He wants me to write
‫an advertisement. ‫Me! Ding hai. ‫I am a senior
‫financial journalist. ‫Zhengtai hotel
‫villa advertisement. ‫How did you know? ‫I am responsible for the photos. ‫Let’s go, partner. ‫We met before. Do
‫you still remember? ‫What about it? ‫This style is decent. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫I am not a shameless person
‫depending on women to eat. ‫I have a proper job. ‫I am just missing a
‫friend treating me to wine. ‫I don’t have interest
‫in being your friend. ‫My girlfriend just gave
‫me her wedding invitation. ‫I wished her happiness. ‫You are talking about liu yali? ‫She told me that you
‫two are just friends. ‫She told it to you this way? ‫So, I was always
‫one-sided this whole time. ‫What about you? ‫Why are you not happy? ‫I don’t have interest in
‫exchanging concerns with you. ‫A stranger who is someone you are not
‫responsible for or need to be worried about ‫is sometimes safer
‫compared to close people. ‫Close people. ‫Who are close people? ‫Family? Friend? Or lover? ‫Who can you believe? ‫Stranger. ‫You do not need to suspect what I
‫say, because I have no link with you. ‫Therefore, no matter what
‫you say, I will believe you. ‫Huh? Qing ling,
‫why are you here? ‫I am here to give ding
‫hai a midnight snack. But ‫I’ve been calling
‫him with no answer. ‫And he doesn’t like me
‫to disturb him upstairs. ‫How about you call
‫him down for me? ‫Ding hai is in a
‫meeting upstairs. ‫How about I bring it up for you? ‫That’s fine, too. I made
‫lots. Share some with everyone. ‫Thank you. ‫It’s getting late. Why
‫don’t you go back soon? ‫Be careful on the way. ‫Lying to a innocent girl. ‫Ding hai, keep sinning. ‫Do you want to go for a ride? ‫Where’s your car? ‫Thanks. ‫I didn’t drive my car today,
‫because I came to get drunk. ‫Then, what are we
‫going to do now? ‫You treated me to liquor, how
‫about I treat you now to tea? ‫Not buying drunkness anymore? ‫Where are we going? ‫Are you willing to
‫trust a stranger? ‫I would rather buy
‫a lottery ticket. ‫Let’s go. ‫- Careful.
‫- Where are we? ‫This place is not
‫officially open, but ‫my home is here. ‫Your home? ‫Which one? ‫What you mean by home is
‫that this house is yours? ‫That’s right. ‫You… ‫That’s right. This is
‫the key to the villa. ‫- What’s wrong?
‫- How come it is in his hand? ‫Can you give me
‫the key back now? ‫How big is your
‫house? How much is it? ‫What property right? ‫What are you laughing about? ‫Taxi! ‫Hey. Eh? You. ‫What are you doing? ‫Drive. ‫Hey, hey. Are you
‫out of your mind? ‫Crazy person. ‫Still investigating
‫the car accident? ‫It must be lili’s
‫big mouth again. ‫I do not blame the driver. ‫Why is that? ‫Two reasons. ‫First, because of you. ‫Because of the car accident,
‫we got close, isn’t that right? ‫And, one more reason. ‫Everyone has their
‫own moral sense. ‫This hit-and-run driver runs away
‫because he knows he made a mistake. ‫But, if you know you are
‫wrong, then you should not run. ‫Okay, okay. Look at us. ‫Sitting here appreciating
‫the view is a fortune. ‫Sometimes, letting go is
‫easier to receive happiness. ‫Try letting go. ‫Grandma already
‫said it. Then, okay. ‫Okay. ‫Ah. You mean the hit-and-run
‫driver’s sister crashed into grandma xu? ‫Older sister was scared at
‫the time, that’s why she run. ‫But, she knows she is wrong
‫now and wants to compensate. ‫She asked me for
‫help. I must help her. ‫She is my sister-in-law. ‫You already have a family. You
‫should understand my feelings. ‫But then, grandma xu
‫will be so wronged. ‫I will compensate her. ‫How can qing ling
‫accept your money? ‫Anyway, can you help me
‫keep this a secret? Okay? ‫Fine, fine. ‫Just pretend I never came here,
‫and you didn’t tell me anything. ‫I will just pretend I
‫didn’t hear anything. ‫I just know you
‫are the best, lili. ‫Okay, I already
‫told you everything. ‫What to do now is up to you. ‫Qing ling is still waiting for me
‫to transfer money. I will go now. ‫Wait, lili. ‫What did you say? You are going
‫to transfer money to qing ling? ‫Quick, sit down. Sit down! ‫How about this? I give
‫you the money and you ‫can transfer it into
‫qing ling’s account. ‫Then she will accept it. ‫Don’t forget to
‫give me the receipt. ‫Is this a good idea? ‫Qing ling will
‫definitely come to find me. ‫If anything happens,
‫just tell her to find me. ‫Lili. Lili. ‫Are you crazy? Or are you blind? ‫Do you know how much
‫extra money you transferred? ‫You transferred an extra
‫¥100,000, a whole ¥100,000. ‫You scared me! ‫Shan shan wanted to coddle
‫up to her sister-in-law, ‫so that’s why she’s
‫willing to spend that much? ‫What are you saying? ‫Shan shan gave you this money. ‫For grandma xu. ‫Shan shan. Why
‫would she do that? ‫She sees you going around about
‫the car accident. She thinks ‫you are tiring yourself. She
‫doesn’t want you to be tired. ‫I think what she says is right.
‫This case has already passed so long. ‫I think we need to
‫think about the reality. ‫If you have this money, you
‫will be better financially. ‫And, making perfume
‫costs a lot of money. ‫But, I can’t take this
‫money from shan shan. ‫Listen, shan shan thinks this
‫incidence is related to her boyfriend. ‫So, she must feel guilty inside. ‫Qing ling, I think
‫we can let it go. ‫I can’t talk clearly with
‫you. I’m going to find her. ‫Huh? I… ‫Qing ling! ‫Shan shan? I’m here. ‫- How is your foot?
‫- Much better. ‫How come you are late when
‫you arranged our meeting? ‫Sorry, sorry. I’m here now. ‫Right, give me your
‫bank account number. ‫I’m returning the money to you. ‫Why are you so stubborn? ‫Shan shan, thank you. ‫I accept your kindness, but it doesn’t
‫make sense for me to take your money. ‫If you do not agree, I will go back to get
‫cash and make another trip to your house. ‫I really can’t argue over you.
‫I will message it over later. ‫Then what are we going to do
‫about grandma’s car accident? ‫Grandma said it’s easier to
‫obtain happiness by letting go. ‫So, on second thought ‫I decided to temporarily
‫not pursue this matter. ‫- You really decided to let go?
‫- Yes. ‫Tian lang, you are home. ‫Why did you just come back? Shan shan has
‫been waiting for you here for a long time. ‫Your foot is better? ‫Almost. Thank you for sending
‫me to the hospital that day. ‫Shan shan, why
‫should you thank him? ‫If he did not trust the
‫words of a liar and drag you ‫to the police station, this
‫situation would not happen. ‫This case is still not certain. ‫Why are you still
‫serious about this? ‫Qing ling is just a criminal. ‫Last time, I almost got
‫trapped by her and an old lady. ‫If you don’t believe me, you can ask
‫lawyer chen. He helped me resolve this. ‫The same scammer. ‫- Really?
‫- You still do not believe it? ‫The swindler asked shan shan
‫for another hundred thousand. ‫Shan shan, show him
‫the bank receipt. ‫Xue qing. ‫What are you dawdling
‫about? Show it to him. ‫If you look at this you
‫will know I did not lie. ‫Tian lang, I know
‫that girl, too. ‫Last time, I gave her ten thousand
‫dollars but she did not take it. ‫I think she must
‫feel it’s too little. ‫This time she asked shan
‫shan for ten thousand. ‫I think she will
‫never let off shan shan. ‫Take a look. ‫You do not believe the words of the
‫three of us. You just believe in a picture. ‫Didn’t you also
‫buy that picture? ‫Taking it this way, the four
‫of us have all been lied to. ‫We are all victims. ‫Is your brain not working? ‫Why would you give
‫her money again? ‫For people like this,
‫the more you listen to ‫them, the more they think
‫you are easy to bully. ‫I was afraid she would
‫make trouble for you again. ‫Stupid. ‫I will settle this
‫matter out for you. ‫See? Tian lang agreed
‫to come forward for you. ‫This is an opportunity for
‫both of you to develop feelings. ‫I didn’t think you would help
‫shan shan. So warm-hearted. ‫I have hoped tian lang
‫would distant himself ‫from qing ling by
‫showing the receipt. ‫But who knows, it’s
‫just the opposite. ‫Tian lang. ‫How many times have I said it?
‫Do you not know how to knock? ‫Eat some fruit. ‫Tian lang, what do you
‫want to do about qing ling? ‫We cannot let her alone. ‫She is making trouble
‫for us again and again. ‫If we do not fight back, she
‫will think we are afraid of her. ‫You really want
‫to call the police? ‫Why not? ‫Lawyer chen and your bank receipt
‫is enough to send her to prison. ‫Tian lang, don’t be like this.
‫I am friends with her after all. ‫Did your brain break down? ‫If she really thinks of you as a
‫friend, will she bully you again and again? ‫She has her reasons to do this. ‫You don’t know. She’s an orphan. ‫Back in school, in
‫order to buy stuff for ‫children in the orphanage,
‫she sold wild flowers. ‫That’s why she thinks money
‫is important. It is reasonable. ‫Tian lang, just let
‫her off this time. Okay? ‫Just because she has
‫a reason does not mean ‫she can be excused
‫when she commits crimes. ‫Tian lang, for the sake of
‫that I am her friend, let her go. ‫I promise not to spoil
‫her again in the future. ‫If you are not speaking,

You said this yourself then. These days, what have you done? You are well aware. Your Majesty. I am well aware. That you’re not fond of me. And I annoy you. But Yongzhang. Yongzhang offended you without intention. Yongzhang is unintentional but you’re intentional. Empress. Empress. What’s the rush? Empres. Mistress Chun has courted His Majesty’s fury. She is ignoring her illness and kneeling in the rain bleeding. His Majesty told her to go back to her palace but she’s not obedient. Why is His Majesty so angry? Mistress Chun is too worried about 3d prince. So she went and begged by His Majesty and I found it to be not right. May you go take a look. I understand. You go back first.
– Yes. You go and Zhongcui Palace to watch the arrangements. I understand. Sister. This matter involves the Han woman. You must be cautious before His Majesty. I know it.
– I will go with you. Mistress. Luyun. Luyun. Whatever it is that you have to say, go back to your palace first. Get up. Mistress. May Your Empress Highenss be generous. To allow me to kneel here until His Majesty’s anger dissipates. Your Majesty, I am at fault. Let me take all the punishments alone. Your Majesty. It’s my fault not raising my son well. Your suspicion of Noble Consort Chun never waned. Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Empress, this matter doesn’t involve you. Go back. Noble Consort Chun is ill. Please forgive her offense. I never told her to come to Yangxin Hall. She insisted it. What can I do? Your Majesty, Yongzhang — Yongzhang is caring of me and that’s why he upset you. He offended you. It’s my fault. Of course it’s your fault. You failed to teach your son. You can’t see how Empress Xiaoxian raised her children, then at least learn from Consort Yu. Consort Yu is docile and dutiful as a mother. Not like you with ulterior motive and causing trouble. Your Majesty. I never had that intention. You did not? What is this? That year Sulian died. You and Imperial Noble Concubine Shujia did so much. Your Majesty, the bead flower was framing of Imperial Noble Concubine Shujia on her. She could plant the bead flower but she is the one who coveted the empress seat. All the evil deeds you committed. Mistress. Mistress.
– Sister. May you allow Consort Yu to bring Noble Consort Chun to be treated. I have something to report to you. Forget it. You all go back. Mistress. Hurry and bring Luyun back. Noble Consort Chun is quite ill. Her doing today was out of her desperate love for her son. Your Majesty, why this seriousness? The wench stayed in the palace so long but is still so unruly. To cause so much drama. If it weren’t for her instigation, how would Yongzhang easily spew offensive words towards Xiangjian? Yongzhang did indeed offend you on words. But he is devoted to you. Over this Han woman, Your Majesty has harmed your relationship with your son and harmed the feelings of Noble Consort Chun.

Yes. [ Zhongcui Palace ] Your Highness is still staring at the ‘The Picture of the Ode of the River Goddess’ The Goddess moves ever so lightly and gracefully. Cao Zhi was infatuated by her. Infatuation doesn’t mean that the love was reciprocated. Longing but out of reach, what’s the point? Only the one’s in the middle of it, will understand the different layers of feelings. Ruyi, have a taste of this Russian olive flower tea. It tastes sweet and soothes the throat, I like it very much. And? Russian olive flower grows near the Han Tribe, it’s Consort Rong’s favourite. You are loving it on account of another. Your Highness, I really don’t understand. What’s gotten between you and Consort Rong? Ruyi, I adore her you must think that, I have lost my mind. But I can’t do anything about it, can you tell me what’s wrong with me? I asked you the question and now you’re asking me? I can conquer a fierce and savage tribe, but I can’t conquer a woman’s heart. Empress, Consort Ying is outside seeking attendance. Your Highness, I will go see Consort Ying. Greetings, Empress. What’s going on? Empress, the concubines have gathered in front of the Yikun Palace, all of them kneeling. First of all, they feel that Royal Consort Chun and her son have been wronged. Secondly, they hope that His Highness can send Consort Rong away. Empress, I don’t want to hold His Highness hostage. But seeing Royal Consort Chun like this… I can’t help but feeling intimately interdependent. Maybe Empress, you can think of a solution. One that can both soothe Royal Consort Chun and calm this matter down. Don’t let this blow out of proportion. You can go back now, I will try to think of something. What solution? They dare to be impertinent while being my concubines? If they like to kneel, let them be. I’d like to see how long they can hold out. Your Highness, now that you are here, I will speak up boldly. It’s indeed not proper for the concubines to be kneeling outside the palace. But it’s only because they feel Royal Consort Chun and her son have been wronged. On top of that, it’s because of Your Highness’ blind infatuation for Consort Rong. How dare you! I only sproke what was in my heart. Keeping it a secret from Your Highness is at fault anyhow, and so is being blunt. Your Highness, just punish me as you see fit. Your Highness, you let your emotions cloud your judgement. You will hurt the feelings of the 49 Mongolian tribes. And make us doubt that the Emperor we look up to and admire, is a wise ruler? Impertinent! I’m not being impertinent, I’m sad. I’m feeling sad for Royal Consort Chun and the Third Prince. I’m also feeling sad for myself and all the concubines. I’m feeling sad for the Empress and you, Your Highness. Stop this nonsense, go back to your palace! Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Master, the concubines are kneeling at Yikun Palace again. They want to have the Emperor remove you from the palace. Isn’t it nice, then? I don’t want to stay anyway. I’d glad if they can kneel me out of the palace. Your Highness, the concubines are kneeling outside my palace. I must go look. Don’t mind them! All those jealous women, you think I’ll let them have their way? Do I need their permission to like someone? They can kneel all they like, even if they kneel, I will not sent Consort Rong away! If Your Highness is keeping Consort Rong, please think of her as well. Even if she had your favour, you have to keep everyone content. How will she spend her days here, surrounded by all of them. Consort Ying her words have been rash. But they are accurate and true. Your Highness must not let your anger, cause a rift between you, the Mongilian tribes and families. I’ve been rash today, indeed. Let’s promote Consort Chun to Imperial Noble Consort Chunhui. Consort Ying has been too blunt but I won’t make a fuss about it. Have her take care of herself, I will have a royal physician take a look. Noble Lady Qing can been thoughtful and discreet this time, she will be restored to her Imperial concubine position. I thank you in their place. Concerning Consort Rong, I dare not defy Your Highness’ will. But please think of her. Don’t be rash and thus causing discontent in the harem. Greeting to Empress. You can all get up. Empress, we are all kneeling here, because we would like His Emperor to understand us. To sent Consort Rong away and thus consoling Noble Consort Chun and her son. His Emperor and I understand your thoughts. His Emperor granted Noble Consort Chun to be Imperial Noble Consort. Empress, Imperial Noble Consort and her son have been awfully wronged this time. Even she has been promoted, the root of all evil hasn’t been eliminated. Her promotion will be nothing but a hollow title. The harem will still not know peace. Us sisters still won’t be at easy. Are you kneeling here for Imperial Noble Consort and her son, or are you using this to have peace of mind? Empress, do you doubt our sincerity? If you were sincere, you’d be kneeling at Yangxin Dian. You are afraid to anger His Highness. You won’t be able to face the consequences, and thus implicating your families. Empress, I can’t bare to think that Imperial Noble Consort Chun has been wronged like this. I also don’t understand His Highness’ behaviour after Consort Rong has entered the palace. That’s why I’m kneeling here, Empress please uphold the justice. I understand what you are saying. I tried to convince His Highness. To uphold the peace in the harem, don’t dote on Consort Rong too much. But to have His Empress to send her away, it can’t be done. If you continue to make a fuss and force His Highness to send her away. I’m afraid that he will blame you in the future. Noble Lady Qing, by His Highness’ words. If you understand how to advance and retreat, you’ll be immediately restored to Imperial concubine. Praise His Highness’ wisdom, I thank his grace. I will immediately return to my palace and reflect on my actions. You can all get up now, I’ll go visit Imperial Noble Consort. Lüyun His Highness is letting go of Yongzhang’s matter. He has promised for you to become Imperial Noble Consort. The ceremony has been set on the 18th of April. The Imperial Household Department is already preparing the proper garment . Imperial Noble Consort? His Highness must know that my days are numbered. When Imperial Noble Consort Huixian died, His Highness also conferred her the title of Imperial Noble Consort. Hailan, Baiyin, I have some things to say to the Empress. You can step out for a bit. Yes. Empress, I know that, I don’t have much time left. I… I have sinned too much. I have thus implicated my child. That year, I shouldn’t have held such greedy ambition. Wanting to use Yongzhang to snatch the empress seat, and ruining him. It caused His Majesty to tire of him. I am terrified. I regret it very much. I have banned meat in my meals and reciting Buddhist verses. I’ve been praying for Buddha’s forgiveness. And spare me the retribution. Retribution… Retribution… Retribution has arrived eventually. Hush now, please take care of yourself first. Take care of your body. Think about your children, about the future. It’s fine. If I die, I can repay all my sins. It will be an exchange for His Highness’ forgiveness for Yongzhang. I’d be most willing to. It’s good to speak out loudly. Take care of your body, we can talk about everything else late. Yongzhang… Xiangjian will remain an outsider in the palace due to her character. Now that the concubines have caused a fuss, Xiangjian will most likely be wronged in the future. I have been keeping an eye on this location for a while now, you must hurry up the renovation. Yes, I’m already on it. Rest assured, Your Highness. I want to give her the best. Yes, I’ll be off now. Your Highness, Princess Hejing is seeking attendance. – Let her in.
– Yes. Greetings to Royal Father. You are here. Such a big event took place in the palace. I can’t stay put in my palace. Are you blaming me, too? That’s not it. I’m not worried about anyone else, only you. What’s to worry? Royal Father, how dare the concubines to force your hand like this? They are truly arrogant. A concubine’s virtue lies in her gentleness. Have they forgot? Only you care about me. If only the current Empress has mother’s abilities, to rule the harem like she did back then. The women wouldn’t have been allowed to make such drama. Consort Ling was someone you nurtured for years. So she knows to stay put in a time like this instead of jumping on the fire. That’s enough. You can go first. I want to be alone. I take my leave. Your Majesty, you hadn’t flipped any tags for days. I will go to Consort Ling’s. Your Majesty, Consort Ling’s recently become pregnant. She is not suitable for bed service yet. I am only going to visit her. So? Yes. Yes. Mistress. The medicine is done. Please get up and drink some. I won’t drink. You help me up to the window. I want to see. Towards Xiefang Hall’s direction. To see if I can see Yongzhang. Slower, Mistress. Mistress. You can’t see Xiefang Hall like this. I can’t see it. But I still need to look. My son is my life. Now even if I want to go to Xiefang Hall, I don’t have the energy. Yongzhang. Your mom. Can’t protect you anymore. Mistress. Mistress, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me. Come. Come. Mistress. Sister. Why can’t you escape this? If you leave, in this palace, I have no one I can talk to. Go report to Empress. Yes. Empress. Our mistress. Our mistress has passed away. Noble Consort. Your court attire is here. Later, dress Luyun into it. Yes. [ Qianlong 25th year in reign. Noble Consort Chun dies. 3 months later, 3rd Prince Yongzhang dies. Posthumously, Prince Xun. ] Your Majesty, drinking in frustration harms the body. Perhaps you should drink less. Less than three months after Noble Consort Chun died, Yongzhang followed suit and died too. Though I’ve posthumously titled him Prince Xun. It won’t make amend. I understand Your Majesty is tormented over the funerals in succession in the palace. Your Majesty even stopped this year’s Mulan Autumn Hunt. I don’t understand. I told Li Yu to look into Hanqi’s background. He’s just a mere ordinary Han tribesman. Why is Xiangjian’s yearning for him so strong? From what I see, this Hanqi was just a follow tribesman. He met her sooner. Forgive me for being bold. Mistress Han never saw any extraordinary men either. Hanqi just got the priority. Your Majesty, the palace attire you told the interior bureau to create has been sent here. Do you wish to look over it? This palace attire is so pretty. Your Majesty, I think Mistress Han would look quite spectacular. Where are you —
– Li Yu. Take this palace attire to Chengqian Palace. Yes. Mistress? His Majesty is here. You all leave. Xiangjian. You’re looking at the western clock I gifted you? Great. You know. Whatever you like, I will gift it to you. Tonight, I want to gift you another. Li Yu. I’m here.
– I had the interior bureau make this especially for you. I thought you’d look great in it. You will look so graceful and alluring. Put it on. I’m in mourning. I will not wear your clothes. Mistress Han, this is a token of His Majesty’s care. Xiangjian, there’s got to be a limit to your stubborn behavior. Since you came to the palace, look at all the fuss you made. I protected you in all. What more do you want? I know you miss Hanqi. So I found his body and sent it to Han tribe for good burial. What more do you want? I know you are in mourning for him and I approved of you wearing all white. I am Hanqi’s widow. In life and death, I am his. So your days are no relations to me. I don’t want to see you. And I don’t wish to hear you talk. Open your eyes and see. You’re already in my harem. I didn’t want to come here. Xiangjian. Do you know how I feel? I will be good to you. We will grow old together. Don’t say anymore. I will not forget Hanqi. Xiangjian, calm down. Xiangjian, are you alright? Your Majesty, I did indeed take away all possible weapons from Chengqian Palace. This, I don’t know where it came from. Your Majesty. Forgive me for being bold. This matter isn’t all Eunuch Li’s to blame. I already looked into it and the weapon Mistress Han just used. It’s the hand from his clock. Forget it. Get on up. Thank you, Your Majesty. Greetings to Your Majesty. How is she? Your Majesty, I already cleaned Mistress Han’s wound. Thankfully the wound is shallow and it’s not difficult to heal. But I’m not competent enough to see that it doesn’t scar. Just that. Mistress Han was agitated. She won’t allow the treatment nor the tonic. I can only leave the ointment to her attendant. To let them put it on her when she’s less agitated. Your Majesty, please be at ease. Your Majesty, it’s getting late. You should go back and rest. So Mistress Han can be settled. We can come another time. Tonight’s incident. Tell no one. If someone asks, say Xiangjian accidentally scratched her face. Yes. Let’s go. Mistress, your wound on your face. I will put medicine on it. Mistress. Your food is here. Go out. Yes. Hanqi. I can come see you soon. Fool. You only come tell me this big incident now? His Majesty said to hide it. But Mistress Han isn’t eating and won’t take the medication and His Majesty can only ask me to come to you. Does Empress Dowager know?
– Not yet. Empress, you please go to Yangxin Hall first. You practice writing well. Your Majesty, Empress is here. Your Majesty. Ruyi, sit. Li Yu told you? Ruyi, I have no other way. I was drunk that day and startled Xiangjian. I only wanted her to change into the palace attire but I didn’t imagine her to be so stubborn. She won’t eat and she won’t take medicine. She’s refusing to eat? I’m out of idea so I asked you to come help me. Ruyi. Are you very disappointed in me? To me, you You were never like this. I thought over it too. I am an emperor, above all humans. I don’t dare to give my heart away easily. But once my heart is moved, I am in disarray. So I try to control myself always. But this time, I can’t control myself. When I saw Xiangjian, I realized what falling in love on first sight meant. Your Majesty, what are you saying? Ruyi, I mean — You and I were childhood sweethearts with kindred minds. But Xiangjian and I are lovers in the adult age, with passion that is uncontrolled. I never had someone I couldn’t have. She’s the only one. I don’t want to have regret so I asked you to come help. Your Majesty has been stubborn and it’s forced Han woman to seek death. But you wish to continue this torment? Ruyi. My entire life, I never was stubborn with love. Indulge me once. Just once. I’ve prepared a gift. It will be done soon. I believe Xiangjian will have a change of heart. Just persuade her for me. Persuade her to live and to be willing to stay by my side. Alright? Han’s feelings isn’t something I can control. Ruyi. You’re my wife. And you’re my empress. You have the duty of beholding the central palace. You must figure this out for me. Your Majesty, your request, I cannot defy as your empress. Just that what I can do, is merely what an empress must do. I take my leave. Mother. How is my writing? Mother? Mother. Look at my writing. Is it good? You wrote it better than last time by a lot. Royal Father hasn’t had time in a long time. Lately it’s 5th brother who teaches me writing. 5th brother’s writing is excellent. It’s great that he’s teaching you. I will work hard. I will be like my 5th brother. You will. Sister. Sister, you wanted to see me? Yongji. Go find your Yongqi brother to play. It’s a coincidence. Yongqi made two bows. Go play with him. Alright. Let’s go to the warm hall. I never thought His Majesty would be so disillusioned. To use the duty of an empress to force you to persuade Han to live? His Majesty is passionate about Han. I’ve never seen him like this in all my years with him. I always thought he could easily control his feelings to put state affairs as priority. I never thought he would be like this. When I see how His Majesty is to her. I think, what exactly was what I had with him? Sister, will you really go persuade Han? I don’t want to go and I am not content to do so. But as an empress of Great Qing, I must go. Isn’t the duty of an empress to assist the emperor achieve happiness and peace? I heard that when someone’s about to die, they will meet who they most wish to see. You’re waiting for this? I am very curious about Hanqi too. Just what kind of a person was he? To let you unable to forget him like this. You and that emperor won’t understand. We met in youth as soulmates. To accompany in body and heart. I do understand what you’re saying. I once had my soulmate in my youth too. Really?
– Really. Just that now I worry, if you die, in this world, there is no one left to remember the greatness of Hanqi. Buddha above. I come to you sincere. To pray for Great Qing’s prosperity. Also, in life, I met the person Xiangjian that I want to give my all. May the heavens pity me. To allow her to be by me and never to part. When I liked Hanqi, I was 16. He was 18. His eyes were especially bright. Brighter than the stars in the sky. He would take me horse-back riding, grazing, and take me to go see the most beautiful jujube flower. He would play the chord to accompany my dance. Those were our happiness times. Do you know, we wanted each other sincerely? We promised together we would be loyal to each other. We only wanted to live happily in the prairie. Our Han tribesmen, once you make a promise, you can never take it back. So great. Regrettably. We can never go back to the good times. If it weren’t for me, he wouldn’t have met the avalanche. He wouldn’t have — No one knew that would happen to Hanqi. Hanqi was your fiance. You’re heartbroken over him. And seeking death for him are all understandable. Just that, you’re in self-guilt. If Hanqi knew, it would ache his heart. If you refuse to eat and die for him. Will he rest in peace? I think Hanqi’s love for you, would mean that he would want you to live on well. And you have your father and your tribe as well. You should know, you are the hope for their future. Since Hanqi died, my heart became cold and despairing, with no hope. How can I be someone else’s hope? We cannot chase after the deceased. If you cherish your father and your tribe, you must live on. Even if to protect them from afar and to see that their lives are improving. Unless they are nothing to you. How are they nothing to me? Just that. I fear I can’t. As long as you abandon the thought of dying, you can do it. Have a spoonful of ginseng broth. So you can have energy. For your father and your tribe. And for Hanqi. Drink one spoonful. Another spoonful. ‫do you remember now? ‫Isn’t this your car? ‫Shan shan, ‫surrender yourself. Escaping

‫As long as you sincerely apologize… ‫I didn’t do it. I
‫said I didn’t do it. ‫Before leaving the country, I gave the

‫in and out of my sister’s room is you. ‫Even now, you are still not admitting
‫you’re the one who secretly drove my car. ‫It’s not me. I already
‫said it’s not me. ‫Shan shan, what’s wrong? Why
‫do call me here so urgently? ‫Xue qing, you finally came.
‫This time I have a huge problem. ‫You have to help me. I didn’t do
‫it on purpose. I just wanted to play. ‫But you have to tell
‫me what happened first. ‫That day… I drove
‫tian lang’s car out. ‫I hit a person. ‫Shan shan, you hit a person? ‫I didn’t do it on purpose. I was driving
‫and suddenly this person hit my car. ‫Hit your car. ‫Ohh, I get it now.
‫You have met a scammer. ‫Scammer. Yes, them. ‫They hit onto my car and
‫wanted a lot of money from me. ‫I was afraid then so I
‫just gave them the money. ‫How could you do this? You should’ve call
‫the police first in that kind of situation. ‫I had to go to Singapore for a
‫meeting the next day. If I had ‫called the police, it definitely
‫would’ve affected my schedule. ‫I had to immediately go to school.
‫Even if it wasn’t me who crashed. ‫This rumor would be really
‫bad for my dad and his company. ‫I don’t want tian lang to hate me. Thinking
‫that if it can be resolved by money… ‫So I used money to resolve it. ‫Okay, you thought too much. But isn’t
‫this letting the people go too easily? ‫Right now, the main problem
‫is, I don’t know where tian lang ‫found a picture. He believed
‫firmly that I’m the one who hit them ‫and he wants me to go
‫to the police tomorow. ‫Sister, you have to help me.
‫I’m innocent. You have to help me! ‫How come tian lang didn’t
‫trust his own person? ‫Shan shan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely
‫help you so you won’t be wronged. ‫Are you thinking of
‫shan shan’s problem? ‫Look at this yourself. ‫This isn’t even shan
‫shan crashing into people. ‫This is clearly the
‫aftermath of a fraud. ‫- Where did you get this picture?
‫- I spent money and bought it. ‫Even you got tricked.
‫This group of swindlers ‫already took shan shan’s
‫money and still didn’t stop. ‫Shan shan gave them money? ‫Look, if she didn’t do it then
‫why did she give them money? ‫How come you don’t believe her?
‫Shanshan met a scammer and gave them money. ‫Who sold the picture to you?
‫I’ll call the police to catch them. ‫What you’re saying is that the
‫person who sold me this picture ‫and the victim are together
‫with the purpose to trick me. ‫Of course, why would they take the
‫money and still mention old matters? ‫This bunch of liars is never. ‫They have already succeeded once and
‫still want to succeed a second time. ‫Okay, then I’ll report this to
‫the police and catch all these liars ‫to prevent this from happening
‫endlessly in the future. ‫Nan! ‫- Shan shan!
‫- Nan, I miss you so much. ‫I miss you, too! ‫I heard you came home a long time
‫ago. Why don’t you come and see me? ‫Didn’t you go on vacation? I heard
‫you came back so I came right away. ‫Nan, I bought a gift
‫for you. Do you like it? ‫Oh. ‫To let you go on this
‫expense, sorry to trouble you. ‫Wow, this hat is so beautiful. ‫Nan, I have also bought a gift for
‫tian lang. Can I bring it to his room? ‫- Of course you can.
‫- Go ahead. ‫Who sold the picture to
‫tian lang? I must find him. ‫Where is it? If I can’t find
‫it, it will be troublesome. ‫What to do if it goes
‫to the police station? ‫Even if this can be hidden
‫from tian lang, but it ‫cannot hold out on the police.
‫I can’t let this get big. ‫Shan shan. ‫- Nan.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Why are you flipping
‫through tian lang’s things? ‫Did you make a mess?
‫He will be upset. ‫Nan, please I beg you. ‫Please keep this a
‫secret for me, okay? ‫Please don’t tell tian lang.
‫He will definitely be angry. ‫I didn’t say I will tell him. ‫Tian lang already dislikes me. ‫I am afraid if he knows,
‫he will ignore me forever. ‫What happened between
‫you and tian lang? ‫- Did you guys meet?
‫- Yes. ‫Nan, help me. Please
‫help me. I beg of you. ‫Let’s sit down first. ‫Just what happened? ‫Hey, stop right here! Don’t
‫think you will be leaving today. ‫It’s you again. Are
‫you following me? ‫You came here at a
‫perfect time. There is ‫more than one thing I
‫need to settle with you. ‫We can talk about the rest later.
‫Let’s first discuss your scamming. ‫- Scamming?
‫- I just don’t understand. ‫Aren’t you and ju shan shan
‫friends? How can you do this to her? ‫Really never thought
‫that even though you are ‫so young, you are already
‫full of evil schemes. ‫I didn’t understand a word you said.
‫What does this have to do with shanshan? ‫Let me tell you, I came
‫here today just to ask ‫you on July 23rd who was
‫the one driving this car? ‫What? The money for selling the picture
‫is not enough? You still want more? ‫What money for selling
‫the picture? Say it clearly. ‫You are still acting. ‫I will not be deceived again. ‫Who else is there other than me? ‫You are still pretending? ‫If I gave this picture to the
‫police, then you will know to be afraid. ‫Do what you like. If it
‫doesn’t have anything to do with ‫shanshan, then I won’t have
‫to worry about hurting her. ‫Tomorrow, whoever does not arrive at
‫the police station will be a little dog. ‫I will wait for you tomorrow. ‫What? How can you
‫experience a thing like this! ‫Therefore, I must find that picture.
‫If they take it to the police station… ‫It will be inexcusable
‫no matter what I say. ‫Shan shan, no offense but how can
‫you make such friends? So not genuine. ‫I think she took the florist
‫grandma there on purpose to scam you. ‫Girls these days, just never
‫give up until they reach their goal. ‫She must have wanted to
‫get some money from you. ‫Nan, what should I do? ‫I think what tian lang is doing is
‫correct. We must hold them with the law. ‫But they are together as a group,
‫they can testify for each other. ‫This is practically
‫a scamming team. ‫If my mom was still here, she
‫would let no one bully me like this. ‫I miss my mom! ‫Okay, okay. ‫Shan shan and xin xin
‫are the same age. Will xin ‫xin also be crying like
‫this calling for mom? ‫If she was bullied,
‫will anyone help her? ‫Shan shan, nan will
‫help you pay them back. ‫Nan, you are so nice to me. ‫Set up a time with her. ‫I’d like to see what
‫kind of girl this is. ‫Hello? Shan shan. ‫Really? So many. ‫Of, course. No problem. No, no, no. I
‫will definitely get it there by 10 o’clock. ‫Grandma, a huge order arrived. ‫100 roses. 30
‫pots of poinsettia. ‫So many? Who asked for it? ‫Jushi holiday resort. We must get
‫it there before ten. Let’s hurry. ‫This is all. Please
‫check if it’s correct. ‫Yes, that’s correct. Ms. Qing
‫ling, please come inside with me. ‫Where are we going? You still
‫didn’t pay me for the flowers. ‫Pay inside. ‫It’s here. ‫Thank you. ‫Hello. Is this where
‫I get my payment? ‫I don’t need this much. ‫There is only this much, too. ‫No, I think you are mistaken. ‫There is no more
‫than this, either. ‫If you are sensible,
‫just quickly take it. ‫Greedy people will
‫not have a good end. ‫No, aunty, you must be mistaken. ‫Mom, don’t go, don’t go! ‫- Mom, don’t go!
‫- Let me go! ‫Mom! ‫Aren’t you qing ling? ‫Yes. How do you
‫know? You know me? ‫I understand your background. ‫Grown up in an orphanage.
‫Working at a florist. ‫I heard recently that you and a middle
‫age woman scammed in front of a fancy car. ‫Do you guys also depend on
‫scamming for extra income? ‫What are you saying? What
‫scamming and swindling? ‫Why are you so rushed? ‫You appear to be quite clever. ‫How can you do such a thing? ‫I think this is not what
‫this orphanage taught you. ‫Let me tell you, you are not
‫permitted to insult the orphanage. ‫You are the one humiliating
‫your orphanage’s reputation. ‫I’m warning you. This ¥10,000 is my limit.
‫Please do not trouble my child anymore. ‫Let alone, tricking their money,
‫or else, I won’t be easy on you. ‫You are absurd. ‫I don’t know who you are
‫or who your children are. ‫I just want my flower
‫bill. I won’t take the rest. ‫Huh. See. The
‫fox’s tail shows up. ‫Just now, I have recorded your
‫process of taking the money. ‫This is the proof of
‫you extorting money. ‫I told you, I will just take my flower
‫money. I will not take a penny extra. ‫But this recording, only taped
‫your process of taking the money. ‫Why would you frame
‫me? Just who are you? ‫This is called a
‫tooth for a tooth. ‫Who are you? ‫Who am I, is not important.
‫But I want to remind you, ‫if you want to live a wealthy
‫life, use your own hands. ‫Crooked ways will not prevail. ‫Tell me, if I really hand
‫this recording to the police ‫and let them display
‫it on the web, ‫I wonder how long you can still
‫stay in this city? If I were you, ‫I would take the money,
‫and the case about the ‫car accident will be
‫wiped off once and for all. ‫I will also not give
‫you additional money. ‫Car accident?
‫Grandma’s accident. ‫Just who are you exactly? ‫Don’t forget your evidence. ‫Madam! ‫Madam, this is your belonging.
‫You forgot to take it. ‫What to do? What to do? I must prevent
‫him from going to the police station. ‫- Stop the car.
‫- What? You want to run away? ‫It’s already eleven. Police also
‫need to take a break. Moreover, ‫I am with you from morning till
‫now without time for breakfast. ‫I am hungry to death. Stop
‫the car. I want to eat now. ‫What are you yelling
‫for? When we arrived at the ‫police station, I will get
‫you something to eat nearby. ‫I can’t wait. Just that one! ‫Just that one! What are
‫you doing? It’s dangerous. ‫Just eat a bit randomly.
‫Quickly stop the car. ‫Hey, shan shan. ‫Are you sure you
‫want to eat here? ‫I am so hungry. Let’s just
‫randomly eat a little here. ‫The food safety here
‫is definitely not ‫qualified. If you want
‫to eat, eat by yourself. ‫Then you can just wait here. I
‫have been waiting for you all morning. ‫- Boss, a bowl of noodle please.
‫- Okay, just a moment. ‫Never mind. Pain it shall be. ‫- Your noodle is ready.
‫- Thank you. ‫Shan shan, what happened? ‫- My foot… so painful.
‫- How is it? ‫Is it alright? ‫Bring me to the hospital. ‫Thank you, doctor. ‫It hurts so much. Why am I so unlucky? To
‫get into this state just by eating a meal. ‫Okay, okay. Stop whining.
‫Oh right, shan shan ‫you wait here for me. I
‫will go get the prescription. ‫Why don’t you take the
‫suit off? It’s so dirty. ‫You will get the
‫inside wet, too. ‫Please hold it for me. ‫There are a lot of people. It will probably
‫take a couple minutes. Wait here for me. ‫You tell me that you hurt yourself
‫like this for such a small matter. ‫If you crash into
‫someone, just apologize, ‫and give more compensation.
‫It will not look good ‫if you have something
‫like this on your record. ‫You are the heir to
‫shancheng enterprise. ‫Don’t worry. I am the daughter of
‫ju shiping. I won’t bring you shame. ‫I will definitely
‫settle this matter right. ‫As long as I have this,
‫everything will be fine. ‫You already made yourself like
‫this. What is there to be happy about? ‫To do big things, you cannot
‫just depend on petty tricks. ‫To inherit shancheng enterprise,
‫you still have lots to learn. ‫Dad, can’t you not
‫always crack me down. ‫Assistant manager Yang. ‫Why are you here?
‫Where is shan shan? ‫Director ju sent shan shan back. ‫Did he give you my suit? ‫No, I don’t know. ‫Gosh, my car keys are
‫still in the jacket. ‫It’s assistant manager Yang. ‫It’s surely duan tian lang
‫calling for his jacket. You just ‫tell him that the jacket is at the
‫dry cleaner and tell him to fetch it. ‫I still don’t know
‫what that aunty is. ‫So you were here! ‫Sorry, I am late. ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫She still has the nerve to
‫ask. It’s all because of you! ‫I just came. What does
‫it have to do with me? ‫Okay, I don’t want to
‫argue with you. Didn’t ‫you say to go to the
‫police station? Let’s go. ‫What to do when we go there?
‫The picture is washed into a mess. ‫Are you doing this on purpose?
‫Look at the time right now! ‫I already apologized to
‫you. What else do you want? ‫What do I want? I want
‫to ask what you want! ‫You person… ‫- Manager…
‫- What? ‫Can you lower your voice a
‫bit. So many people are watching. ‫- Come with me.
‫- What are you doing? ‫We will find a quiet place to
‫discuss this matter in detail. ‫What are you looking at? ‫Vice president, just
‫now manager grabbed a girl ‫away. ‫- What are you doing? Let go!
‫- Sit down! ‫What are you doing? ‫You pervert! Believe it, I will
‫call the police to capture you. ‫You watch too much TV. ‫If it’s not that I
‫don’t have the evidence, ‫I can also call the
‫police to capture you. ‫I didn’t do anything wrong. ‫He’s a pervert. This
‫place is dangerous. ‫No. I must run. ‫Hey! ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫Tian lang! ‫You guys… what
‫are you guys doing? ‫Tian lang, this is your private
‫resting chamber. How did she come in? ‫Older sister,
‫don’t misunderstand. ‫You pervert! You are not human! ‫Tian lang, what is going on? ‫Older sister, don’t misunderstand.
‫I am not interested in that woman. ‫I have a smell? You are the
‫one who has a smell on your body! ‫Unfathomable! Taking
‫advantage of me. If I had ‫known earlier I should
‫have kicked him more. ‫The east villa including decorations,
‫all finished reconstruction. ‫We can start operating it as a
‫villa hotel starting next week. ‫Inform the planning department, to initiate
‫completely the villa hotel advertisement. ‫Yes, general manager. ‫What did the chief
‫editor say to you? ‫Just the usual. Responsibility ‫and enthusiasm. ‫He is taking care of you. ‫He wants me to write
‫an advertisement. ‫Me! Ding hai. ‫I am a senior
‫financial journalist. ‫Zhengtai hotel
‫villa advertisement. ‫How did you know? ‫I am responsible for the photos. ‫Let’s go, partner. ‫We met before. Do
‫you still remember? ‫What about it? ‫This style is decent. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫I am not a shameless person
‫depending on women to eat. ‫I have a proper job. ‫I am just missing a
‫friend treating me to wine. ‫I don’t have interest
‫in being your friend. ‫My girlfriend just gave
‫me her wedding invitation. ‫I wished her happiness. ‫You are talking about liu yali? ‫She told me that you
‫two are just friends. ‫She told it to you this way? ‫So, I was always
‫one-sided this whole time. ‫What about you? ‫Why are you not happy? ‫I don’t have interest in
‫exchanging concerns with you. ‫A stranger who is someone you are not
‫responsible for or need to be worried about ‫is sometimes safer
‫compared to close people. ‫Close people. ‫Who are close people? ‫Family? Friend? Or lover? ‫Who can you believe? ‫Stranger. ‫You do not need to suspect what I
‫say, because I have no link with you. ‫Therefore, no matter what
‫you say, I will believe you. ‫Huh? Qing ling,
‫why are you here? ‫I am here to give ding
‫hai a midnight snack. But ‫I’ve been calling
‫him with no answer. ‫And he doesn’t like me
‫to disturb him upstairs. ‫How about you call
‫him down for me? ‫Ding hai is in a
‫meeting upstairs. ‫How about I bring it up for you? ‫That’s fine, too. I made
‫lots. Share some with everyone. ‫Thank you. ‫It’s getting late. Why
‫don’t you go back soon? ‫Be careful on the way. ‫Lying to a innocent girl. ‫Ding hai, keep sinning. ‫Do you want to go for a ride? ‫Where’s your car? ‫Thanks. ‫I didn’t drive my car today,
‫because I came to get drunk. ‫Then, what are we
‫going to do now? ‫You treated me to liquor, how
‫about I treat you now to tea? ‫Not buying drunkness anymore? ‫Where are we going? ‫Are you willing to
‫trust a stranger? ‫I would rather buy
‫a lottery ticket. ‫Let’s go. ‫- Careful.
‫- Where are we? ‫This place is not
‫officially open, but ‫my home is here. ‫Your home? ‫Which one? ‫What you mean by home is
‫that this house is yours? ‫That’s right. ‫You… ‫That’s right. This is
‫the key to the villa. ‫- What’s wrong?
‫- How come it is in his hand? ‫Can you give me
‫the key back now? ‫How big is your
‫house? How much is it? ‫What property right? ‫What are you laughing about? ‫Taxi! ‫Hey. Eh? You. ‫What are you doing? ‫Drive. ‫Hey, hey. Are you
‫out of your mind? ‫Crazy person. ‫Still investigating
‫the car accident? ‫It must be lili’s
‫big mouth again. ‫I do not blame the driver. ‫Why is that? ‫Two reasons. ‫First, because of you. ‫Because of the car accident,
‫we got close, isn’t that right? ‫And, one more reason. ‫Everyone has their
‫own moral sense. ‫This hit-and-run driver runs away
‫because he knows he made a mistake. ‫But, if you know you are
‫wrong, then you should not run. ‫Okay, okay. Look at us. ‫Sitting here appreciating
‫the view is a fortune. ‫Sometimes, letting go is
‫easier to receive happiness. ‫Try letting go. ‫Grandma already
‫said it. Then, okay. ‫Okay. ‫Ah. You mean the hit-and-run
‫driver’s sister crashed into grandma xu? ‫Older sister was scared at
‫the time, that’s why she run. ‫But, she knows she is wrong
‫now and wants to compensate. ‫She asked me for
‫help. I must help her. ‫She is my sister-in-law. ‫You already have a family. You
‫should understand my feelings. ‫But then, grandma xu
‫will be so wronged. ‫I will compensate her. ‫How can qing ling
‫accept your money? ‫Anyway, can you help me
‫keep this a secret? Okay? ‫Fine, fine. ‫Just pretend I never came here,
‫and you didn’t tell me anything. ‫I will just pretend I
‫didn’t hear anything. ‫I just know you
‫are the best, lili. ‫Okay, I already
‫told you everything. ‫What to do now is up to you. ‫Qing ling is still waiting for me
‫to transfer money. I will go now. ‫Wait, lili. ‫What did you say? You are going
‫to transfer money to qing ling? ‫Quick, sit down. Sit down! ‫How about this? I give
‫you the money and you ‫can transfer it into
‫qing ling’s account. ‫Then she will accept it. ‫Don’t forget to
‫give me the receipt. ‫Is this a good idea? ‫Qing ling will
‫definitely come to find me. ‫If anything happens,
‫just tell her to find me. ‫Lili. Lili. ‫Are you crazy? Or are you blind? ‫Do you know how much
‫extra money you transferred? ‫You transferred an extra
‫¥100,000, a whole ¥100,000. ‫You scared me! ‫Shan shan wanted to coddle
‫up to her sister-in-law, ‫so that’s why she’s
‫willing to spend that much? ‫What are you saying? ‫Shan shan gave you this money. ‫For grandma xu. ‫Shan shan. Why
‫would she do that? ‫She sees you going around about
‫the car accident. She thinks ‫you are tiring yourself. She
‫doesn’t want you to be tired. ‫I think what she says is right.
‫This case has already passed so long. ‫I think we need to
‫think about the reality. ‫If you have this money, you
‫will be better financially. ‫And, making perfume
‫costs a lot of money. ‫But, I can’t take this
‫money from shan shan. ‫Listen, shan shan thinks this
‫incidence is related to her boyfriend. ‫So, she must feel guilty inside. ‫Qing ling, I think
‫we can let it go. ‫I can’t talk clearly with
‫you. I’m going to find her. ‫Huh? I… ‫Qing ling! ‫Shan shan? I’m here. ‫- How is your foot?
‫- Much better. ‫How come you are late when
‫you arranged our meeting? ‫Sorry, sorry. I’m here now. ‫Right, give me your
‫bank account number. ‫I’m returning the money to you. ‫Why are you so stubborn? ‫Shan shan, thank you. ‫I accept your kindness, but it doesn’t
‫make sense for me to take your money. ‫If you do not agree, I will go back to get
‫cash and make another trip to your house. ‫I really can’t argue over you.
‫I will message it over later. ‫Then what are we going to do
‫about grandma’s car accident? ‫Grandma said it’s easier to
‫obtain happiness by letting go. ‫So, on second thought ‫I decided to temporarily
‫not pursue this matter. ‫- You really decided to let go?
‫- Yes. ‫Tian lang, you are home. ‫Why did you just come back? Shan shan has
‫been waiting for you here for a long time. ‫Your foot is better? ‫Almost. Thank you for sending
‫me to the hospital that day. ‫Shan shan, why
‫should you thank him? ‫If he did not trust the
‫words of a liar and drag you ‫to the police station, this
‫situation would not happen. ‫This case is still not certain. ‫Why are you still
‫serious about this? ‫Qing ling is just a criminal. ‫Last time, I almost got
‫trapped by her and an old lady. ‫If you don’t believe me, you can ask
‫lawyer chen. He helped me resolve this. ‫The same scammer. ‫- Really?
‫- You still do not believe it? ‫The swindler asked shan shan
‫for another hundred thousand. ‫Shan shan, show him
‫the bank receipt. ‫Xue qing. ‫What are you dawdling
‫about? Show it to him. ‫If you look at this you
‫will know I did not lie. ‫Tian lang, I know
‫that girl, too. ‫Last time, I gave her ten thousand
‫dollars but she did not take it. ‫I think she must
‫feel it’s too little. ‫This time she asked shan
‫shan for ten thousand. ‫I think she will
‫never let off shan shan. ‫Take a look. ‫You do not believe the words of the
‫three of us. You just believe in a picture. ‫Didn’t you also
‫buy that picture? ‫Taking it this way, the four
‫of us have all been lied to. ‫We are all victims. ‫Is your brain not working? ‫Why would you give
‫her money again? ‫For people like this,
‫the more you listen to ‫them, the more they think
‫you are easy to bully. ‫I was afraid she would
‫make trouble for you again. ‫Stupid. ‫I will settle this
‫matter out for you. ‫See? Tian lang agreed
‫to come forward for you. ‫This is an opportunity for
‫both of you to develop feelings. ‫I didn’t think you would help
‫shan shan. So warm-hearted. ‫I have hoped tian lang
‫would distant himself ‫from qing ling by
‫showing the receipt. ‫But who knows, it’s
‫just the opposite. ‫Tian lang. ‫How many times have I said it?
‫Do you not know how to knock? ‫Eat some fruit. ‫Tian lang, what do you
‫want to do about qing ling? ‫We cannot let her alone. ‫She is making trouble
‫for us again and again. ‫If we do not fight back, she
‫will think we are afraid of her. ‫You really want
‫to call the police? ‫Why not? ‫Lawyer chen and your bank receipt
‫is enough to send her to prison. ‫Tian lang, don’t be like this.
‫I am friends with her after all. ‫Did your brain break down? ‫If she really thinks of you as a
‫friend, will she bully you again and again? ‫She has her reasons to do this. ‫You don’t know. She’s an orphan. ‫Back in school, in
‫order to buy stuff for ‫children in the orphanage,
‫she sold wild flowers. ‫That’s why she thinks money
‫is important. It is reasonable. ‫Tian lang, just let
‫her off this time. Okay? ‫Just because she has
‫a reason does not mean ‫she can be excused
‫when she commits crimes. ‫Tian lang, for the sake of
‫that I am her friend, let her go. ‫I promise not to spoil
‫her again in the future. ‫If you are not speaking,
‫I will take it as a yes. ‫You are so good to me. ‫I am so moved. ‫What are you doing? ‫Say it, why do you
‫want to meet me? ‫It’s my first time seeing
‫someone as shameless as you. ‫Appearing so righteous when
‫you have done something guilty. ‫I don’t have time
‫to argue with you. ‫I am busier than you are. ‫Sign this. ‫What is it? ‫Guarantee letter. ‫Promise not to see
‫shan shan anymore. ‫Promise not to stir trouble
‫again because of the car accident. ‫No matter what the reason, promise not
‫to scam and earn money by hard work only. ‫What is this? ‫For you, it is a guarantee
‫letter. For me, it is a safeguard. ‫I agreed with shan
‫shan to let you go. ‫But I don’t think you
‫know how to be thankful. ‫To prevent you from scamming
‫again, I made this guarantee letter. ‫Sign it. ‫I will only keep my
‫promise after you sign this. ‫What promise? ‫To let you off. ‫You only have one chance. ‫Crazy person. It’s me
‫who is letting you off. ‫If it’s not for
‫shan shan’s sake, ‫I would have
‫already beat you up. ‫For the car accident
‫matter… for assaulting me. ‫Shut up. ‫That is a misunderstanding. I do not
‫allow you to make slanderous remarks. ‫Dare to act but afraid
‫to take responsibility. ‫Ah, I know. ‫This is how you put someone
‫in the seat of a criminal ‫and then threaten them. ‫I believe not too long from now,
‫you will say I sexually assaulted you., ‫and then demand
‫compensation from me. ‫What do you mean?
‫Are you insulting me? ‫I don’t know why shan shan
‫fancies someone like you. ‫The air stinks. ‫My mood is so much better. ‫This smell… ‫This. ‫You! ‫Return it to you! ‫Why does this smell
‫brighten someone’s mood? ‫- Qing ling.
‫- Ah hai. ‫Here. Your share of the money. ‫Thanks. ‫Why are you so polite
‫with me. Is ¥2000 enough? ‫Enough. They are not
‫out of money anyway. ‫But this not the same. This is
‫the daughter of your higher up. ‫You should buy more gifts.
‫Maybe they will be nicer to you. ‫You really believe in anything. ‫This is the money for
‫the woman I want to pursue. ‫It’s really enough. ‫This is bad. I can’t believe I
‫forgot my appointment with aunty. ‫I will call my mom and
‫tell her you are with me. ‫Let her wait a bit. ‫No. It’s my fault anyway.
‫I should have arrived. ‫How about…? Okay,
‫can you call aunty? ‫Help me persuade her. I am
‫afraid she is angry at me. ‫Did my mother upset you？ ‫of course not. ‫It’s because I am too stupid. ‫Ah hai, help me
‫think of something. ‫What can I do to
‫make aunty happy? ‫Stupid, you are
‫doing good already. ‫Qing ling, don’t
‫blame my mother. ‫She had a hard time
‫bringing me up by herself. ‫She is hard on you
‫because she loves me. ‫Don’t worry, of
‫course I know that. ‫You are a kind person. ‫She will understand you over
‫time. She will definitely like you. ‫Okay, then I will go now. Noble Consort Hui has really fallen to that state? Her illness has already entered the meridian points. These years I’ve had her recover in peace. What more does she have to worry? Noble Consort Hui has congenital weakness. And she is overly competitive. So I fear we see no improvement despite curating. Plus she’s added illness of being frightened last few years. Even if her body was made of iron, she wouldn’t last. She did not cherish herself. Your Majesty, forgive my boldness. Noble Consort Hui, I fear will be this month or next. I understand. I take my leave. This Xianfu Palace is so cursed. A few palace maids all got scabies, and that Xingxuan, she died from a disease! Xingxuan was Noble Consort’s maid brought in as dowry to the marriage. Yes. But she died and no one cares. Just a straw mat and sent out. Scabies? All their stuff won’t be clean. Lock up all the rooms that the palace maids used. And no one touch the stuff inside. Done? We brought everything out. Hurry up and lock up. Let’s go. How come it’s just you? Where’s Xingxuan? Xingxuan got scabies and died. Other palace maids were sent out too, afraid they would give their illness to you. Xingxuan died. Xingxuan died too. If I die here some day, no one will know either. Moxin, you find a way to send word out, that I want to see His Majesty. Yes, I will go now. Not even a person here. So empty. Your Majesty. How is it you? Greetings to Noble Consort. Why is Your Highness the Noble Consort sitting on the ground? Won’t it chill you? My mistress is watching for the Dragon Chair daily. (T/N Emperor’s carriage) Waiting for His Majesty. This path, I wanted wholly to go over you. I never though I’d fall to this state today, allowing you to come and laugh at me. We are all pitiful people of the palace. Who can laugh at whose what? Since you’re here, come sit. What do you want to say? Go ahead. Xiyue, we’ve been in this palace for nearly half our lives. But we remain living in others’ calculations. What do you mean? I got sent to the Cold Palace by your calculations. Fortunately, I am out now. You’re like this today. Do you know why? Other than you scheming against me, who else can it be? His Majesty had Qi Ru treat your illness. But your body is getting worse and worse. Is that something I can calculate? What do you wish to say? The medicine you’re drinking now, it has a few more ingredients added to it than the prescription by Qi Ru. Adding these few medicines by symptoms you may seem better a bit, but in actuality it harms your core energy. Why would Qi Ru harm me… or someone put him to it? Is it His Majesty? Empress Dowager? On this matter, this is all that I know. But there’s another matter. Perhaps you didn’t think of it even more so. Say what you want to say. Give me your bracelet. Why do you want the bracelet? We’ve tended His Majesty many years and all along we have no children. It’s all thanks to this bracelet. In this bracelet hides something that harms the blood and qi. Basil seeds, making women infertile. Basil seeds? What basil seeds? You know, but why do you keep on wearing it? I was a bit luckier than you. Once I dropped and broke the bracelet. So the filthy things inside dropped out and I found out about the trap. Naturally the bracelet I wear now has the basil seeds pulled out. But I still haven’t gotten pregnant. I don’t know if it’s because it’s already ruined my foundation. Why would she harm me like this? You are loyal to Empress. But she treated you as someone she could use. And she and I? I was an eyesore to her since the day of wife selection. She needed to make a preemptive strike. She gave us these bracelets with the resolve set, not allowing us to be mothers. No wonder we drank bowl after bowl of conception medicine but to no result. Why would she treat me like that? I was so devoted to her, never holding any thought of disloyalty. I did whatever she said. I did everything before her. I just wanted a child. Why would she cut off this wish of mine? Why! You came today to tell me these matters. Is it because you want to know what we did to you? There is no lack of support from the Empress behind them. I will tell you today. If you really wish to tell someone, then tell the person who should know it the most. Wait. Wait. Ruyi. I beg you. Let me see His Majesty. Let me see His Majesty once. Ruyi. Ruyi, I beg you! – Let me see His Majesty once. Let me see His Majesty once!
– Mistress! – Mistress! I’ll get you up.
– Ruyi! – Let me see His Majesty!
– Mistress. Ruyi, let me see His Majesty once! I want to see His Majesty! Ruyi! What’s on your mind, Your Majesty? Thinking about when Xiyue first came into the old manor. She was shy and cute. Your Majesty should go see her. I won’t go. Even you came to persuade me. Earlier Gao Bin sent in a letter, saying he is worried about Noble Consort Hui. Noble Consort Hui, I fear, won’t fare well. Once she leaves, and Gao Bin asks about her last days, Your Majesty needs words to say. Your Majesty always cared about the Noble Consort’s reputation so you did not announce to the outside her evil deeds. Now she wishes to meet Your Majesty once. Your Majesty should comply with her wish. Why hasn’t His Majesty come still? You have asked many times already. Earlier Eunuch Li sent word that His Majesty will come for sure. Mistress, His Majesty has come. I greet Your Majesty. Still sick, then don’t labor unnecessarily. Rise. Your Majesty, please sit as well. Moxin, you may leave us. I will stay alone with His Majesty a bit. Yes. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Your Majesty. Since the family banquet, we’ve not seen each other for three years and ten months. My beauty has gone haggard. I know very well it’s disrespectful to ask for meeting like this… but I also know that my life won’t be long. I wanted to see Your Majesty one last time. You’re so sick like this, yet you put so much effort in dressing. This outfit is the outfit I had on when I was promoted to Noble Consort. I wore this… to remember how Your Majesty used to love me. I wanted to wear this to talk to Your Majesty. I want to tell you some things first actually. A child should be filial to his father. A wife should be obedient to her husband. A subject should honor his lord. A servant should be loyal to his master. Ask yourself honestly. Have you done all this? Honor, being filial, obedient and loyal. Behind my back, what all did you really commit? His Majesty really went to see Noble Consort? I hear Noble Consort Hui is on her last straw. For the sake of past fondness, His Majesty sent to see her once. It’s only a given too. But what if Noble Consort Hui talks nonsense? She wouldn’t. If she dares to divulge Your Highness’ deeds, then she’s divulging her own. The honor and glory of Gao Clan, would she want to discard it? Even if she were to bite recklessly, His Majesty surely wouldn’t believe her crazy words. I know my sins are grave. I don’t dare to beg Your Majesty’s forgiveness. Some things…I was going to take to my grave, but I must tell you now. As long as you’re telling the truth, I won’t blame your maiden clan for your words and deeds. In order to spy on you, the Empress had Lianxin marry Wang Qin. A’Rou got the Empress’ guidance too, so she could dare to betray Consort Xian. After Crown Prince Danhui passed away, the Empress thought it was Consort Xian who cursed him and she was filled with anger and blame. In order to pacify the Empress’ rage, I ordered Shuangxi to take the poisonous snakes and release them in the Cold Palace to harm Consort Xian. At the Double Ninth Festival, the Empress also instructed me to burn Consort Xian to death. Getting Consort Xian to contract rheumatism, it was Consort Jia’s medicine that caused it. But actually, the matter was instructed to me by the Empress. That’s it? Does Your Majesty remember this gold and jade bracelet? You and Consort Xian, when you married me, Empress gifted these to you personally. Why is it broken? Such a nice thing, the Empress doesn’t wear it herself. She granted them to Consort Xian and I instead. I was so grateful. I never thought… that she hid such great basil seeds in there. Wearing it for a long time causes infertility. Consort Xian and I wore it for over a decade. I didn’t even know why I couldn’t get pregnant! The Empress comes from a prominent family. How would she know such a low trick? She doesn’t know medicine functions either. Your Majesty. If a person wants to commit evil, there’s nothing they can’t understand or learn. Noble Consort. The Empress is the master of the central palace. Do you know what the crime of slandering the Empress is? I know that in your heart, the Empress is someone most suitable to be empress. Are you afraid, afraid that she is the one who has truly disappointed you? Whether the Empress has disappointed me is a different matter. It’s you. You really disappointed me. I know my crimes are unforgivable. But just how I came to this, step by step… was there no half a dot of your being the reason here? There’s something I must ask clearly. Or else I can’t rest in peace. Ask. I am getting treated by Royal Physician Qi…. why is my illness getting worse and worse? Lack of energy and blood stasis both getting worse, to the point of core energy gravely harmed. Even without the basil seeds, it would be hard to conceive. I knew that you were born with energy deficiency and blood stasis. So I had Qi Ru treat you and I didn’t push for your conception. I didn’t think you’d ask me like this today. Is it that Your Majesty didn’t push for it, or you don’t want to have a child with me altogether? Back at the old manor, on wife selection. Among the three of us, I was the only one that you didn’t select. If it weren’t for Late Emperor and Empress Dowager, you wouldn’t have picked me to be a concubine either. Later on, you favored me for many years. And you had Qi Ru treat my health. I thought you truly liked me. But I was wrong. You already said it earlier. I favored you for many years. Since I favored you, why would I do that to you? Are Your Majesty’s words really true? True? What is truth? Xiyue, do you still remember how you looked then? I still remember the first time I met you, you were so delicate. But now. How did you become a venomous woman who even dares to murder royal heirs? Forget it. Your body isn’t well. You should rest. One day if you leave, I will grant you a posthumous title, and give you a good ending, on the account you tended to me for so many years. Your Majesty has thought of my posthumous title already? Then allow me to say something. My life has been a foolish dream. It’s too late to regret. I just wish in the next life, I can marry into an ordinary family. Live with my husband, and teach my children. And be a virtuous and good person. That’s your final request. I will not disallow it. I will then grant you the word “xian” as your title. (T/N “virtuous” – from “Hui” to “Huixian”) Let that be the aspiration for your next life as well. Your Majesty. Though Your Majesty didn’t admit you schemed against me using Qi Ru, but who else could it be besides you? Let me bow to you once then. If it was you, the heavens will reap it from you. If it wasn’t you, then be ill and suffer a bit, and regard me as owing you. Mistress, let me help you get up. Mistress. Moxin. Go burn the cushion His Majesty sat on. I’ll go now. Mistress. You must burn it cleanly. It’s got filthy scabies larvae on it. Can’t keep it. Don’t leave any trace. I got it. Mistress! Attendants! Come! Your Majesty, we are going to..? Yikun Palace. Yes. Mistress, His Majesty is here. Greetings to Your Majesty. Rise. You’re coming so late. Your place is calming. I wanted to sit here. – Your Majesty, have a seat.
– Ruyi, come. This bracelet of yours looks old. Don’t wear it anymore. Tomorrow I’ll have the Internal Affairs Bureau send the best jade bracelet here, and have the royal physician send some good tonics to restore your body. Li Yu. Take it and throw it away. Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty. Please sit. Your Majesty went to see Noble Consort Hui? She said many things to me. Ruyi. Will you scheme against others? I don’t know what you mean by scheming. But if someone harms me and bullies me, then naturally I won’t just sit there. I will preserve myself too. So if Your Majesty means scheming by that, then yes. Then will you scheme against me? I wish that Your Majesty and I will never intimidate each other. Come. Ruyi. Don’t blame me asking you that. Just that the words of Noble Consort today left me no choice but to be startled. I am not unkind to them and they all seem to treat me genuinely. But today, I suddenly find them such strangers. Real and fake. Behind my back, I don’t know what all they did that I don’t know. Their honest treatment of me. How much was there? I understand Your Majesty’s concern. Ruyi. I know Noble Consort Hui won’t last long. No matter what all she did in her life, I want to give her some dignity on the outside. I understand. Your Majesty is wise. Li Yu. – Present.
– Send my decree. Noble Consort Hui is to be promoted as Imperial Noble Consort Hui. Consort Xian and Consort Chun are to be promoted as Noble Consorts. Concubine Yu as Consort Yu. Yes. I thank Your Majesty for his grace. Rise. Ruyi, it’s compromising to have you and Consort Chun both occupy the title of Noble Consorts. It’s just that Consort Chun gave birth to two royal princes, and she’s raised Yonghuang, so I must be inclined to her. It’s my incompetence that I can’t add royal heirs for Your Majesty. No matter we have children or not together, I will not make thin our relationship. Don’t worry. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Mistress, you’re awake. You’re looking much better today. I haven’t sleep so honestly for so long. I just had a dream too. I saw Father and Mother, and they told me they miss me. They said after I’m recovered, I should hurry and come home. Congratulations, Mistress. His Majesty promoted you to Imperial Noble Consort. Moxin. At the Gudong Fang, I arranged a work position there for you. (T/N “antique or curio house”) Internal Affairs Bureau will send someone to collect you. I won’t leave you. You must remember who harmed me. I will remember for sure. Is it snowing outside? Yes, Mistress. I want to go to the yard to see. What’s wrong! Mistress! Mistress! Mistress! I will get revenge for you for sure. Mistress! [ Qianlong Era Year Ten, (Western Date February 26, 1745, CE) ] [ the Imperial Noble Consort of the Gao Clan ] [ conferred posthumously as Imperial Noble Consort Huixian. ] Mistress. Look at that snow. It’s incessant. His Majesty was very fond of Imperial Noble Consort Huixian. He laments so achingly, even the heavens are crying with him. One love. His Majesty’s formidable mourning attire consoled Gao Bin. I heard Gao Bin is so grateful to His Majesty. The pain of losing one’s kin, I’ve tasted it. It’s time Gao Bin had a taste too. These years, Qi Ru has done his work well. Qi Ru has done his chore well indeed. But Gao Yiyue herself did many evil deeds. She deserved what she got too, she sowed it. This snow is getting deeper and deeper. Yes. Your Majesty was very fond of Imperial Noble Consort Huixian. I heard before the Imperial Noble Consort passed away, she begged Your Majesty for the word “xian,” and Your Majesty approved. (T/N “virtuous”) I hope that in the future, Your Majesty can give me the word “xian” too. Then I would die without regret. Empress, you’re in your prime. Why do you speak so lamentably? Our dynasty’s empresses usually use the word “xiao”. (T/N “filial”) In the future if Your Majesty could grant me “xian” instead, I would honor it completely. Since the Imperial Noble Consort passed away, Your Majesty’s been in deep mourning. You’ve not come to my Changchun Palace anymore. I don’t know if Your Majesty blames me, that I failed to look after the Imperial Noble Consort well? I just thought Empress, that you and the Imperial Noble Consort were close partners for so many years. I didn’t want to be reminded of the sentiments. Before Imperial Noble Consort Huixian passed away, she told me many honest things. Each time I think about it, I feel despair. Your Majesty is very affectionate. His Majesty will go to Xianfu Palace personally. He will have a conversation while looking at her portrait. I believe the words Imperial Noble Consort couldn’t finish before her death, she will speak them in His Majesty’s dreams very clearly. Imperial Noble Consort died at a young age. Her biggest concern would be for her father and brother. I beg Your Majesty, if you worry about the Imperial Noble Consort, please worry about her family. Empress. About her father and brother, they are court matters. Nothing to do with the harem, so you as Empress needn’t be wordy. I should not involve myself in Imperial court. I know my mistake. His Majesty is clear about the division of harem and court. He’s never managed court matters with personal feelings. Your Highness the Empress, you’ve accompanied His Majesty so many years. You should be very clear on that. Noble Consort Xian, you’re right. Noble Consort Xian, the jade and gold bracelet I gifted you. Why aren’t you wearing it anymore? That bracelet is a match with the one with Imperial Noble Consort. Since the Imperial Noble Consort’s gone now, I told her to take it off, in order to evade hurt feelings. Another thing. Yonghuang’s birth mother, Consort Zhe, died pitifully. I will send a decree to promote her posthumously as “Imperial Noble Consort Zhe”. Your Highness, what’s wrong? Your Majesty. You’ve never spoke to Her Highness the Empress like that. Gao Yiyue’s death. In my heart, I have an ending. Under her beauty, she hid a very poisonous heart. But under Empress’ virtue and uprightness, what will be there? I..I really can’t see clearly. Your Highness. Lianxin, wait outside. Yes. Your Highness, what’s wrong? His Majesty suddenly had Noble Consort Xian take off that bracelet. Did they find out something? Can’t be that. That pair of bracelets, Imperial Noble Consort and Noble Consort Xian haven’t found anything wrong with them all along. Why would they now? His Majesty also said he didn’t want to bring up sad sentiments seeing the item, so don’t worry so much. What about Zhuying? (T/N personal name suggested for Imperial Noble Consort Zhe, none recorded in history) Why did His Majesty suddenly promote her as Imperial Noble Consort? She had a hard labor and died with her daughter. Why would His Majesty bring up such old matter and say she was pitiful? There’s something in what he said. Does he mean to say covertly that he blames me? His Majesty must feel that Imperial Noble Consort Zhe passed away at such a young age. He probably didn’t mean anything else. But I don’t feel at ease. Since Gao Yiyue died, His Majesty seems to distance himself from me. Today Noble Consort Xian also said that before Gao died, she had words she didn’t finish saying. Sulian. Did she say something before her death so His Majesty suspects me? Your Highness, it’s not so. Noble Consort Xian is just going along His Majesty. Imperial Noble Consort Hui wouldn’t betray you either. If she really said something about you, then it’s like betraying herself. Look at how His Majesty mourns the Imperial Noble Consort, that deep fondness. If His Majesty really knew something, why would he mourn? ‫do you remember now? ‫Isn’t this your car? ‫Shan shan, ‫surrender yourself. Escaping
‫isn’t a way to resolve this. ‫If you are too scared to go
‫to the police, I’ll go with you. ‫I have heard the victim isn’t hurt badly.
‫As long as you sincerely apologize… ‫I didn’t do it. I
‫said I didn’t do it. ‫Before leaving the country, I gave the
‫car keys to my sister and only you knew. ‫And the only one who can freely get
‫in and out of my sister’s room is you. ‫Even now, you are still not admitting
‫you’re the one who secretly drove my car. ‫It’s not me. I already
‫said it’s not me. ‫Shan shan, what’s wrong? Why
‫do call me here so urgently? ‫Xue qing, you finally came.
‫This time I have a huge problem. ‫You have to help me. I didn’t do
‫it on purpose. I just wanted to play. ‫But you have to tell
‫me what happened first. ‫That day… I drove
‫tian lang’s car out. ‫I hit a person. ‫Shan shan, you hit a person? ‫I didn’t do it on purpose. I was driving
‫and suddenly this person hit my car. ‫Hit your car. ‫Ohh, I get it now.
‫You have met a scammer. ‫Scammer. Yes, them. ‫They hit onto my car and
‫wanted a lot of money from me. ‫I was afraid then so I
‫just gave them the money. ‫How could you do this? You should’ve call
‫the police first in that kind of situation. ‫I had to go to Singapore for a
‫meeting the next day. If I had ‫called the police, it definitely
‫would’ve affected my schedule. ‫I had to immediately go to school.
‫Even if it wasn’t me who crashed. ‫This rumor would be really
‫bad for my dad and his company. ‫I don’t want tian lang to hate me. Thinking
‫that if it can be resolved by money… ‫So I used money to resolve it. ‫Okay, you thought too much. But isn’t
‫this letting the people go too easily? ‫Right now, the main problem
‫is, I don’t know where tian lang ‫found a picture. He believed
‫firmly that I’m the one who hit them ‫and he wants me to go
‫to the police tomorow. ‫Sister, you have to help me.
‫I’m innocent. You have to help me! ‫How come tian lang didn’t
‫trust his own person? ‫Shan shan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely
‫help you so you won’t be wronged. ‫Are you thinking of
‫shan shan’s problem? ‫Look at this yourself. ‫This isn’t even shan
‫shan crashing into people. ‫This is clearly the
‫aftermath of a fraud. ‫- Where did you get this picture?
‫- I spent money and bought it. ‫Even you got tricked.
‫This group of swindlers ‫already took shan shan’s
‫money and still didn’t stop. ‫Shan shan gave them money? ‫Look, if she didn’t do it then
‫why did she give them money? ‫How come you don’t believe her?
‫Shanshan met a scammer and gave them money. ‫Who sold the picture to you?
‫I’ll call the police to catch them. ‫What you’re saying is that the
‫person who sold me this picture ‫and the victim are together
‫with the purpose to trick me. ‫Of course, why would they take the
‫money and still mention old matters? ‫This bunch of liars is never. ‫They have already succeeded once and
‫still want to succeed a second time. ‫Okay, then I’ll report this to
‫the police and catch all these liars ‫to prevent this from happening
‫endlessly in the future. ‫Nan! ‫- Shan shan!
‫- Nan, I miss you so much. ‫I miss you, too! ‫I heard you came home a long time
‫ago. Why don’t you come and see me? ‫Didn’t you go on vacation? I heard
‫you came back so I came right away. ‫Nan, I bought a gift
‫for you. Do you like it? ‫Oh. ‫To let you go on this
‫expense, sorry to trouble you. ‫Wow, this hat is so beautiful. ‫Nan, I have also bought a gift for
‫tian lang. Can I bring it to his room? ‫- Of course you can.
‫- Go ahead. ‫Who sold the picture to
‫tian lang? I must find him. ‫Where is it? If I can’t find
‫it, it will be troublesome. ‫What to do if it goes
‫to the police station? ‫Even if this can be hidden
‫from tian lang, but it ‫cannot hold out on the police.
‫I can’t let this get big. ‫Shan shan. ‫- Nan.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Why are you flipping
‫through tian lang’s things? ‫Did you make a mess?
‫He will be upset. ‫Nan, please I beg you. ‫Please keep this a
‫secret for me, okay? ‫Please don’t tell tian lang.
‫He will definitely be angry. ‫I didn’t say I will tell him. ‫Tian lang already dislikes me. ‫I am afraid if he knows,
‫he will ignore me forever. ‫What happened between
‫you and tian lang? ‫- Did you guys meet?
‫- Yes. ‫Nan, help me. Please
‫help me. I beg of you. ‫Let’s sit down first. ‫Just what happened? ‫Hey, stop right here! Don’t
‫think you will be leaving today. ‫It’s you again. Are
‫you following me? ‫You came here at a
‫perfect time. There is ‫more than one thing I
‫need to settle with you. ‫We can talk about the rest later.
‫Let’s first discuss your scamming. ‫- Scamming?
‫- I just don’t understand. ‫Aren’t you and ju shan shan
‫friends? How can you do this to her? ‫Really never thought
‫that even though you are ‫so young, you are already
‫full of evil schemes. ‫I didn’t understand a word you said.
‫What does this have to do with shanshan? ‫Let me tell you, I came
‫here today just to ask ‫you on July 23rd who was
‫the one driving this car? ‫What? The money for selling the picture
‫is not enough? You still want more? ‫What money for selling
‫the picture? Say it clearly. ‫You are still acting. ‫I will not be deceived again. ‫Who else is there other than me? ‫You are still pretending? ‫If I gave this picture to the
‫police, then you will know to be afraid. ‫Do what you like. If it
‫doesn’t have anything to do with ‫shanshan, then I won’t have
‫to worry about hurting her. ‫Tomorrow, whoever does not arrive at
‫the police station will be a little dog. ‫I will wait for you tomorrow. ‫What? How can you
‫experience a thing like this! ‫Therefore, I must find that picture.
‫If they take it to the police station… ‫It will be inexcusable
‫no matter what I say. ‫Shan shan, no offense but how can
‫you make such friends? So not genuine. ‫I think she took the florist
‫grandma there on purpose to scam you. ‫Girls these days, just never
‫give up until they reach their goal. ‫She must have wanted to
‫get some money from you. ‫Nan, what should I do? ‫I think what tian lang is doing is
‫correct. We must hold them with the law. ‫But they are together as a group,
‫they can testify for each other. ‫This is practically
‫a scamming team. ‫If my mom was still here, she
‫would let no one bully me like this. ‫I miss my mom! ‫Okay, okay. ‫Shan shan and xin xin
‫are the same age. Will xin ‫xin also be crying like
‫this calling for mom? ‫If she was bullied,
‫will anyone help her? ‫Shan shan, nan will
‫help you pay them back. ‫Nan, you are so nice to me. ‫Set up a time with her. ‫I’d like to see what
‫kind of girl this is. ‫Hello? Shan shan. ‫Really? So many. ‫Of, course. No problem. No, no, no. I
‫will definitely get it there by 10 o’clock. ‫Grandma, a huge order arrived. ‫100 roses. 30
‫pots of poinsettia. ‫So many? Who asked for it? ‫Jushi holiday resort. We must get
‫it there before ten. Let’s hurry. ‫This is all. Please
‫check if it’s correct. ‫Yes, that’s correct. Ms. Qing
‫ling, please come inside with me. ‫Where are we going? You still
‫didn’t pay me for the flowers. ‫Pay inside. ‫It’s here. ‫Thank you. ‫Hello. Is this where
‫I get my payment? ‫I don’t need this much. ‫There is only this much, too. ‫No, I think you are mistaken. ‫There is no more
‫than this, either. ‫If you are sensible,
‫just quickly take it. ‫Greedy people will
‫not have a good end. ‫No, aunty, you must be mistaken. ‫Mom, don’t go, don’t go! ‫- Mom, don’t go!
‫- Let me go! ‫Mom! ‫Aren’t you qing ling? ‫Yes. How do you
‫know? You know me? ‫I understand your background. ‫Grown up in an orphanage.
‫Working at a florist. ‫I heard recently that you and a middle
‫age woman scammed in front of a fancy car. ‫Do you guys also depend on
‫scamming for extra income? ‫What are you saying? What
‫scamming and swindling? ‫Why are you so rushed? ‫You appear to be quite clever. ‫How can you do such a thing? ‫I think this is not what
‫this orphanage taught you. ‫Let me tell you, you are not
‫permitted to insult the orphanage. ‫You are the one humiliating
‫your orphanage’s reputation. ‫I’m warning you. This ¥10,000 is my limit.
‫Please do not trouble my child anymore. ‫Let alone, tricking their money,
‫or else, I won’t be easy on you. ‫You are absurd. ‫I don’t know who you are
‫or who your children are. ‫I just want my flower
‫bill. I won’t take the rest. ‫Huh. See. The
‫fox’s tail shows up. ‫Just now, I have recorded your
‫process of taking the money. ‫This is the proof of
‫you extorting money. ‫I told you, I will just take my flower
‫money. I will not take a penny extra. ‫But this recording, only taped
‫your process of taking the money. ‫Why would you frame
‫me? Just who are you? ‫This is called a
‫tooth for a tooth. ‫Who are you? ‫Who am I, is not important.
‫But I want to remind you, ‫if you want to live a wealthy
‫life, use your own hands. ‫Crooked ways will not prevail. ‫Tell me, if I really hand
‫this recording to the police ‫and let them display
‫it on the web, ‫I wonder how long you can still
‫stay in this city? If I were you, ‫I would take the money,
‫and the case about the ‫car accident will be
‫wiped off once and for all. ‫I will also not give
‫you additional money. ‫Car accident?
‫Grandma’s accident. ‫Just who are you exactly? ‫Don’t forget your evidence. ‫Madam! ‫Madam, this is your belonging.
‫You forgot to take it. ‫What to do? What to do? I must prevent
‫him from going to the police station. ‫- Stop the car.
‫- What? You want to run away? ‫It’s already eleven. Police also
‫need to take a break. Moreover, ‫I am with you from morning till
‫now without time for breakfast. ‫I am hungry to death. Stop
‫the car. I want to eat now. ‫What are you yelling
‫for? When we arrived at the ‫police station, I will get
‫you something to eat nearby. ‫I can’t wait. Just that one! ‫Just that one! What are
‫you doing? It’s dangerous. ‫Just eat a bit randomly.
‫Quickly stop the car. ‫Hey, shan shan. ‫Are you sure you
‫want to eat here? ‫I am so hungry. Let’s just
‫randomly eat a little here. ‫The food safety here
‫is definitely not ‫qualified. If you want
‫to eat, eat by yourself. ‫Then you can just wait here. I
‫have been waiting for you all morning. ‫- Boss, a bowl of noodle please.
‫- Okay, just a moment. ‫Never mind. Pain it shall be. ‫- Your noodle is ready.
‫- Thank you. ‫Shan shan, what happened? ‫- My foot… so painful.
‫- How is it? ‫Is it alright? ‫Bring me to the hospital. ‫Thank you, doctor. ‫It hurts so much. Why am I so unlucky? To
‫get into this state just by eating a meal. ‫Okay, okay. Stop whining.
‫Oh right, shan shan ‫you wait here for me. I
‫will go get the prescription. ‫Why don’t you take the
‫suit off? It’s so dirty. ‫You will get the
‫inside wet, too. ‫Please hold it for me. ‫There are a lot of people. It will probably
‫take a couple minutes. Wait here for me. ‫You tell me that you hurt yourself
‫like this for such a small matter. ‫If you crash into
‫someone, just apologize, ‫and give more compensation.
‫It will not look good ‫if you have something
‫like this on your record. ‫You are the heir to
‫shancheng enterprise. ‫Don’t worry. I am the daughter of
‫ju shiping. I won’t bring you shame. ‫I will definitely
‫settle this matter right. ‫As long as I have this,
‫everything will be fine. ‫You already made yourself like
‫this. What is there to be happy about? ‫To do big things, you cannot
‫just depend on petty tricks. ‫To inherit shancheng enterprise,
‫you still have lots to learn. ‫Dad, can’t you not
‫always crack me down. ‫Assistant manager Yang. ‫Why are you here?
‫Where is shan shan? ‫Director ju sent shan shan back. ‫Did he give you my suit? ‫No, I don’t know. ‫Gosh, my car keys are
‫still in the jacket. ‫It’s assistant manager Yang. ‫It’s surely duan tian lang
‫calling for his jacket. You just ‫tell him that the jacket is at the
‫dry cleaner and tell him to fetch it. ‫I still don’t know
‫what that aunty is. ‫So you were here! ‫Sorry, I am late. ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫She still has the nerve to
‫ask. It’s all because of you! ‫I just came. What does
‫it have to do with me? ‫Okay, I don’t want to
‫argue with you. Didn’t ‫you say to go to the
‫police station? Let’s go. ‫What to do when we go there?
‫The picture is washed into a mess. ‫Are you doing this on purpose?
‫Look at the time right now! ‫I already apologized to
‫you. What else do you want? ‫What do I want? I want
‫to ask what you want! ‫You person… ‫- Manager…
‫- What? ‫Can you lower your voice a
‫bit. So many people are watching. ‫- Come with me.
‫- What are you doing? ‫We will find a quiet place to
‫discuss this matter in detail. ‫What are you looking at? ‫Vice president, just
‫now manager grabbed a girl ‫away. ‫- What are you doing? Let go!
‫- Sit down! ‫What are you doing? ‫You pervert! Believe it, I will
‫call the police to capture you. ‫You watch too much TV. ‫If it’s not that I
‫don’t have the evidence, ‫I can also call the
‫police to capture you. ‫I didn’t do anything wrong. ‫He’s a pervert. This
‫place is dangerous. ‫No. I must run. ‫Hey! ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫Tian lang! ‫You guys… what
‫are you guys doing? ‫Tian lang, this is your private
‫resting chamber. How did she come in? ‫Older sister,
‫don’t misunderstand. ‫You pervert! You are not human! ‫Tian lang, what is going on? ‫Older sister, don’t misunderstand.
‫I am not interested in that woman. ‫I have a smell? You are the
‫one who has a smell on your body! ‫Unfathomable! Taking
‫advantage of me. If I had ‫known earlier I should
‫have kicked him more. ‫The east villa including decorations,
‫all finished reconstruction. ‫We can start operating it as a
‫villa hotel starting next week. ‫Inform the planning department, to initiate
‫completely the villa hotel advertisement. ‫Yes, general manager. ‫What did the chief
‫editor say to you? ‫Just the usual. Responsibility ‫and enthusiasm. ‫He is taking care of you. ‫He wants me to write
‫an advertisement. ‫Me! Ding hai. ‫I am a senior
‫financial journalist. ‫Zhengtai hotel

‫you still remember? ‫What about it? ‫This style is decent. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫I am not a shameless person
‫depending on women to eat. ‫I have a proper job. ‫I am just missing a
‫friend treating me to wine. ‫I don’t have interest
‫in being your friend. ‫My girlfriend just gave
‫me her wedding invitation. ‫I wished her happiness. ‫You are talking about liu yali? ‫She told me that you
‫two are just friends. ‫She told it to you this way? ‫So, I was always
‫one-sided this whole time. ‫What about you? ‫Why are you not happy? ‫I don’t have interest in
‫exchanging concerns with you. ‫A stranger who is someone you are not
‫responsible for or need to be worried about ‫is sometimes safer

‫say, because I have no link with you. ‫Therefore, no matter what
‫you say, I will believe you. ‫Huh? Qing ling,
‫why are you here? ‫I am here to give ding

‫to disturb him upstairs. ‫How about you call
‫him down for me? ‫Ding hai is in a
‫meeting upstairs. ‫How about I bring it up for you? ‫That’s fine, too. I made
‫lots. Share some with everyone. ‫Thank you. ‫It’s getting late. Why

‫that this house is yours? ‫That’s right. ‫You… ‫That’s right. This is
‫the key to the villa. ‫- What’s wrong?
‫- How come it is in his hand? ‫Can you give me
‫the key back now? ‫How big is your
‫house? How much is it? ‫What property right? ‫What are you laughing about? ‫Taxi! ‫Hey. Eh? You. ‫What are you doing? ‫Drive. ‫Hey, hey. Are you
‫out of your mind? ‫Crazy person. ‫Still investigating
‫the car accident? ‫It must be lili’s
‫big mouth again. ‫I do not blame the driver. ‫Why is that? ‫Two reasons. ‫First, because of you. ‫Because of the car accident,
‫we got close, isn’t that right? ‫And, one more reason. ‫Everyone has their
‫own moral sense. ‫This hit-and-run driver runs away
‫because he knows he made a mistake. ‫But, if you know you are
‫wrong, then you should not run. ‫Okay, okay. Look at us. ‫Sitting here appreciating
‫the view is a fortune. ‫Sometimes, letting go is
‫easier to receive happiness. ‫Try letting go. ‫Grandma already
‫said it. Then, okay. ‫Okay. ‫Ah. You mean the hit-and-run
‫driver’s sister crashed into grandma xu? ‫Older sister was scared at
‫the time, that’s why she run. ‫But, she knows she is wrong
‫now and wants to compensate. ‫She asked me for
‫help. I must help her. ‫She is my sister-in-law. ‫You already have a family. You
‫should understand my feelings. ‫But then, grandma xu
‫will be so wronged. ‫I will compensate her. ‫How can qing ling
‫accept your money? ‫Anyway, can you help me
‫keep this a secret? Okay? ‫Fine, fine. ‫Just pretend I never came here,
‫and you didn’t tell me anything. ‫I will just pretend I
‫didn’t hear anything. ‫I just know you
‫are the best, lili. ‫Okay, I already
‫told you everything. ‫What to do now is up to you. ‫Qing ling is still waiting for me
‫to transfer money. I will go now. ‫Wait, lili. ‫What did you say? You are going
‫to transfer money to qing ling? ‫Quick, sit down. Sit down! ‫How about this? I give
‫you the money and you ‫can transfer it into
‫qing ling’s account. ‫Then she will accept it. ‫Don’t forget to
‫give me the receipt. ‫Is this a good idea? ‫Qing ling will
‫definitely come to find me. ‫If anything happens,
‫just tell her to find me. ‫Lili. Lili. ‫Are you crazy? Or are you blind? ‫Do you know how much
‫extra money you transferred? ‫You transferred an extra
‫¥100,000, a whole ¥100,000. ‫You scared me! ‫Shan shan wanted to coddle
‫up to her sister-in-law, ‫so that’s why she’s
‫willing to spend that much? ‫What are you saying? ‫Shan shan gave you this money. ‫For grandma xu. ‫Shan shan. Why
‫would she do that? ‫She sees you going around about
‫the car accident. She thinks ‫you are tiring yourself. She
‫doesn’t want you to be tired. ‫I think what she says is right.
‫This case has already passed so long. ‫I think we need to
‫think about the reality. ‫If you have this money, you
‫will be better financially. ‫And, making perfume
‫costs a lot of money. ‫But, I can’t take this
‫money from shan shan. ‫Listen, shan shan thinks this
‫incidence is related to her boyfriend. ‫So, she must feel guilty inside. ‫Qing ling, I think
‫we can let it go. ‫I can’t talk clearly with
‫you. I’m going to find her. ‫Huh? I… ‫Qing ling! ‫Shan shan? I’m here. ‫- How is your foot?
‫- Much better. ‫How come you are late when
‫you arranged our meeting? ‫Sorry, sorry. I’m here now. ‫Right, give me your
‫bank account number. ‫I’m returning the money to you. ‫Why are you so stubborn? ‫Shan shan, thank you. ‫I accept your kindness, but it doesn’t
‫make sense for me to take your money. ‫If you do not agree, I will go back to get
‫cash and make another trip to your house. ‫I really can’t argue over you.
‫I will message it over later. ‫Then what are we going to do
‫about grandma’s car accident? ‫Grandma said it’s easier to
‫obtain happiness by letting go. ‫So, on second thought ‫I decided to temporarily
‫not pursue this matter. ‫- You really decided to let go?
‫- Yes. ‫Tian lang, you are home. ‫Why did you just come back? Shan shan has
‫been waiting for you here for a long time. ‫Your foot is better? ‫Almost. Thank you for sending
‫me to the hospital that day. ‫Shan shan, why
‫should you thank him? ‫If he did not trust the
‫words of a liar and drag you ‫to the police station, this
‫situation would not happen. ‫This case is still not certain. ‫Why are you still
‫serious about this? ‫Qing ling is just a criminal. ‫Last time, I almost got
‫trapped by her and an old lady. ‫If you don’t believe me, you can ask
‫lawyer chen. He helped me resolve this. ‫The same scammer. ‫- Really?
‫- You still do not believe it? ‫The swindler asked shan shan
‫for another hundred thousand. ‫Shan shan, show him
‫the bank receipt. ‫Xue qing. ‫What are you dawdling
‫about? Show it to him. ‫If you look at this you
‫will know I did not lie. ‫Tian lang, I know
‫that girl, too. ‫Last time, I gave her ten thousand
‫dollars but she did not take it. ‫I think she must
‫feel it’s too little. ‫This time she asked shan
‫shan for ten thousand. ‫I think she will
‫never let off shan shan. ‫Take a look. ‫You do not believe the words of the
‫three of us. You just believe in a picture. ‫Didn’t you also
‫buy that picture? ‫Taking it this way, the four
‫of us have all been lied to. ‫We are all victims. ‫Is your brain not working? ‫Why would you give
‫her money again? ‫For people like this,
‫the more you listen to ‫them, the more they think
‫you are easy to bully. ‫I was afraid she would
‫make trouble for you again. ‫Stupid. ‫I will settle this
‫matter out for you. ‫See? Tian lang agreed
‫to come forward for you. ‫This is an opportunity for
‫both of you to develop feelings. ‫I didn’t think you would help
‫shan shan. So warm-hearted. ‫I have hoped tian lang
‫would distant himself ‫from qing ling by
‫showing the receipt. ‫But who knows, it’s
‫just the opposite. ‫Tian lang. ‫How many times have I said it?
‫Do you not know how to knock? ‫Eat some fruit. ‫Tian lang, what do you
‫want to do about qing ling? ‫We cannot let her alone. ‫She is making trouble
‫for us again and again. ‫If we do not fight back, she
‫will think we are afraid of her. ‫You really want
‫to call the police? ‫Why not? ‫Lawyer chen and your bank receipt
‫is enough to send her to prison. ‫Tian lang, don’t be like this.
‫I am friends with her after all. ‫Did your brain break down? ‫If she really thinks of you as a
‫friend, will she bully you again and again? ‫She has her reasons to do this. ‫You don’t know. She’s an orphan. ‫Back in school, in
‫order to buy stuff for ‫children in the orphanage,
‫she sold wild flowers. ‫That’s why she thinks money
‫is important. It is reasonable. ‫Tian lang, just let
‫her off this time. Okay? ‫Just because she has
‫a reason does not mean ‫she can be excused
‫when she commits crimes. ‫Tian lang, for the sake of
‫that I am her friend, let her go. ‫I promise not to spoil
‫her again in the future. ‫If you are not speaking,
‫I will take it as a yes. ‫You are so good to me. ‫I am so moved. ‫What are you doing? ‫Say it, why do you
‫want to meet me? ‫It’s my first time seeing
‫someone as shameless as you. ‫Appearing so righteous when
‫you have done something guilty. ‫I don’t have time
‫to argue with you. ‫I am busier than you are. ‫Sign this. ‫What is it? ‫Guarantee letter. ‫Promise not to see
‫shan shan anymore. ‫Promise not to stir trouble
‫again because of the car accident. ‫No matter what the reason, promise not
‫to scam and earn money by hard work only. ‫What is this? ‫For you, it is a guarantee
‫letter. For me, it is a safeguard. ‫I agreed with shan
‫shan to let you go. ‫But I don’t think you
‫know how to be thankful. ‫To prevent you from scamming
‫again, I made this guarantee letter. ‫Sign it. ‫I will only keep my
‫promise after you sign this. ‫What promise? ‫To let you off. ‫You only have one chance. ‫Crazy person. It’s me
‫who is letting you off. ‫If it’s not for
‫shan shan’s sake, ‫I would have
‫already beat you up. ‫For the car accident
‫matter… for assaulting me. ‫Shut up. ‫That is a misunderstanding. I do not
‫allow you to make slanderous remarks. ‫Dare to act but afraid
‫to take responsibility. ‫Ah, I know. ‫This is how you put someone
‫in the seat of a criminal ‫and then threaten them. ‫I believe not too long from now,
‫you will say I sexually assaulted you., ‫and then demand
‫compensation from me. ‫What do you mean?
‫Are you insulting me? ‫I don’t know why shan shan
‫fancies someone like you. ‫The air stinks. ‫My mood is so much better. ‫This smell… ‫This. ‫You! ‫Return it to you! ‫Why does this smell
‫brighten someone’s mood? ‫- Qing ling.
‫- Ah hai. ‫Here. Your share of the money. ‫Thanks. ‫Why are you so polite
‫with me. Is ¥2000 enough? ‫Enough. They are not
‫out of money anyway. ‫But this not the same. This is
‫the daughter of your higher up. ‫You should buy more gifts.
‫Maybe they will be nicer to you. ‫You really believe in anything. ‫This is the money for
‫the woman I want to pursue. ‫It’s really enough. ‫This is bad. I can’t believe I
‫forgot my appointment with aunty. ‫I will call my mom and
‫tell her you are with me. ‫Let her wait a bit. ‫No. It’s my fault anyway.
‫I should have arrived. ‫How about…? Okay,
‫can you call aunty? ‫Help me persuade her. I am
‫afraid she is angry at me. ‫Did my mother upset you？ ‫of course not. ‫It’s because I am too stupid. ‫Ah hai, help me
‫think of something. ‫What can I do to
‫make aunty happy? ‫Stupid, you are
‫doing good already. ‫Qing ling, don’t
‫blame my mother. ‫She had a hard time
‫bringing me up by herself. ‫She is hard on you
‫because she loves me. ‫Don’t worry, of
‫course I know that. ‫You are a kind person. ‫She will understand you over
‫time. She will definitely like you. ‫Okay, then I will go now. Consort Xian, your faint yellow flower embroidered on your clothes. They look like these yellow peonies. This outfit was sent to me yesterday by Internal Affairs Department. I thought the color was delicate so I wore it. I didn’t pay attention whether the pattern was a yellow peony. I’m sure you didn’t it intentionally. Everyone knows this yellow peony is the king of all flowers. Only Her Highness the Empress of the central palace is suitable to use it. Since you did so unintentionally, you should just seek forgiveness from Her Highness the Empress. You can take off the clothes when you go back and cut them up, never to wear them again. I’m sure Her Highness the Empress won’t seek blame from you. Her Highness the Empress won’t mind, naturally. Because being the king of flowers, the owner of the harem is a matter of mind. Your Highness the Empress, when I return to my palace I will take off these clothes. I will deliver them to Your Highness the Empress’ palace for Your Highness’ disposal. It’s just clothing. Never mind. Don’t kneel now. Thank you, Your Highness the Empress. Then I’ll take my leave. Attendant. Take that pot of peony flowers out. I don’t want to see it. We shouldn’t keep such items as this that try to fight for position in Your Highness the Empress’ palace. That Consort Xian. When did she ever forget about the incident where she almost became the main wife. What is that ruckus? Are you blind? You don’t watch where you go? Spare me, Eunuch. I was careless. I angered Her Highness. I will never do it again! Where did that dumb maid come from? Such an idiot who can’t even carry a pot of flowers! Don’t be angry, Your Highness Consort Jia. Zhao Yitai. – Drag this maid out and slap her mouth severely!
– Okay! Spare me, Your Highness. Your Highness the Empress! Your Highness the Empress, spare me! Your Highness the Empress, spare me! It’s my first time coming here with Her Highness Consort Xian and I didn’t know the rules! I didn’t mean to offend Your Highness the Empress! Wait. You came with who? Yes. It was with Her Highness Consort Xian. Consort Xian? Her Highness Consort Xian is sweet and gentle. She was afraid that I would offend the rules, so she brought me here. Consort Xian is so nice to you. Her Highness Consort Xian is always very merciful. The maids are all very grateful. Your little mouth sure knows how to praise a lot. You look like a crafty, cheap slave! You made a mistake so we can’t spoil you. You deserve to be beaten to death. I know my mistake! I know my mistake! Please spare me. We don’t have any rules of killing someone for a small mistake. What’s your name? My name…My name is Wei Yanwan. What does your family do? My father was Qingtai. He used to work in the interior office. But my father committed a crime and he’s gone now. Yanwan. Such a foxy name. Since you love Consort Xian so much, why aren’t you be called “Ying’er”? As in cherry blossoms. You changed her name. Do you mean that you want to be her boss? Yes. This maid doesn’t know the rules and she’s full of nonsense. I will train her well, so she won’t anger Your Highness the Empress again. Alright. I’ll put her in your care then. Yes. I thank you for your grace. Get up and come with me. Yes. Later, take all these peeled lotus seeds and walnuts, and make porridge to take to Yangxin Hall. His Majesty likes to drink it. You want to earn His Majesty’s happiness and that’s easy. His Majesty, if he should want to please you, he wouldn’t know how. My heart has never changed. It belongs to the clan heir. Mistress. Why are you not kneeling when you see Her Highness Consort Jia? Your servant Ying’er. Greetings to Your Highness Consort Jia. You are docile. You know why I call you Ying’er? I am dim-witted. I don’t know. You didn’t make a mistake in bringing in a flower nor in sending yellow peonies. Your biggest fault was when Her Highness the Empress was angry, you complimented Consort Xian then. Tell me if you are annoying. Consort Xian’s name used to be Qingying. So you’re Ying’er. So suitable, right? I deserve death. I deserve death. No need to die here. If you are willing to cut off that tongue that talks nonsense, Her Highness the Empress might be gracious and let you return to the greenhouse. Please forgive me, Your Highness Consort Jia! I knew you wouldn’t spare it (her tongue). I wouldn’t either. If you can’t talk, what entertainment is there for me? Ying’er, from now on you belong to Qixiang Palace. Serve our mistress well. If you languish at all, watch how I discipline you! Today’s scent is good. It’s balsam, right? Yes. We’ve started to burn it about half an hour before your return. This scent smells good, but it’s placed a bit far away. Ying’er. Go get that scent urn and bring it to me. Yes. Who said to put it down? Kneel! Hold it higher. Yes. I’m tired now, so I will go nap. Remember, this is how Ying’er is to serve from now on. You cheap whore. Who said to fall? Who said to put it down? Kneel! You dare to cry? Raise it now. Crying more? Just a palace maid. You don’t need to torment her. Makes it seem like you listen to Her Highness the Empress in all things. And you can’t be calm-minded. Such a sharp tongue, and can’t be calm-minded and depends on the Empress. That’s how the palace people always see me. Even you do that too sometimes and it’s a good thing too. Empress has no sons under her and Noble Consort is ill. We don’t need to dance to their tunes always anyway. Even if the Empress has no legitimate heir, she’s still the Empress. Just as long as His Majesty cares about her, that’s a dependable thing for her. That maid angered the Empress, but the Empress can’t easily show it so she’s using me to. I’ll torment her a bit more and the Empress will think I hate Consort Xian that much more. I will gain that much more trust from the Empress. Noble Consort is ill. A’Rou is dead. Empress still trusts you a lot. I’ve been a mistress for so many years. She will trust me more than others, naturally. We call each other sisters and greet each other with smiles. Only they know just how filthy their thoughts really are. Everyone in this palace, I don’t trust. Only you. You are right. We’ve endured here so many years. Now First Prince has lost his real mother, without the family of Yue who has power. And Second Prince was unlucky and died. Third Prince does not court His Majesty’s approval. It’s really our Fourth Prince who’s next. Also, His Majesty still favors you so much. All our thoughts and work we put in were not in vain. But if it weren’t for coming and marrying into this Great Qing Dynasty, I would have surely married the clan heir. You always long for clan heir. Though clan heir is not as handsome as His Majesty, there’s that softness when he smiles. That year, I went to the Prince’s Manor, to greet the Prince and Prince’s Consort, that was the first time I met the clan heir. I was startled by his smile. I never saw a smile more beautiful. Even my father hinted to me that the clan heir was smitten with me. You were born into a high status. And you and clan heir had connected hearts. If you had really married him then, you would’ve made a dazzling couple indeed. But not long after, I received the decree to marry into Great Qing Prince’s manor as a concubine. I never thought even the clan heir agreed to that decree. I ran to him like I was crazy. I wanted to ask him so badly, why? Have I loved one-sidedly this whole time? But when I saw the clan heir, I couldn’t bring up any word. The clan heir must have ached as much as you. He said my beauty, he could not keep it by his side at last. If I could settle here, then it could be an honor to him as well. I didn’t want to see him upset. I wanted to see him smile, just like when I first saw him. I kept his words in my heart firmly, and came here. Before I left, the clan heir gave me this peace bracelet. Whenever I see this bracelet, it’s as though…he is accompanying me in this faraway palace. You’re resolute, I understand. I will do my utmost to assist you. [ Cining Palace ] Go now. Empress Dowager, Naerbu’s death that you had Naquin investigate has news now. It was indeed Lord Gao Bin who sent someone to kill him furtively. Gao Bin is asking to die. Empress Dowager, should we tell the Emperor and Consort Xian? Emperor might not really want to know, or else he would send someone to investigate it. About Consort Xian though, if she found out about how her father died, she would throw a fit. Then the peace in the court that the Emperor wants would be hard. Then it means not to say for now? I know it now, and later it will come to use. Yongzhang is starting to go to school too. I am alone in the palace always feeling so empty. Thankfully I’ve got you to chat with me. Don’t be so cordial with me. I’m bored alone anyway. Come by often when you have time. Why is she here? You know Ying’er? Ying’er? Isn’t her name Yanwan? She used to serve Yonghuang in my palace. She was named Yanwan indeed before. But I changed her to Ying’er. She used to be a palace maid in the greenhouse, but she offended Her Highness the Empress so she’s here to be trained. Then I should remind you, this maid is very wanton. If His Majesty comes, don’t let her be in the front no matter what. What’s wrong, Sister? How else do you think she left Zhongcui Palace to go to the greenhouse? She seduced His Majesty and I caught her. I’m grateful of your sharing. I will be careful. Then I’ll go first. Go slowly, Sister. – Zhenshu.
– Mistress. Kneel, whore. From now on, anyone in Qixiang Palace can reprimand Ying’er. Just don’t harm her face. Don’t give her good clothes to wear. Don’t give her good food to eat or drink, and don’t let His Majesty see her, no matter what. Understand? Yes. Hurry and wash. Sisters, please don’t rush. I just can’t keep up. I will take the clothes to the laundry room to wash. It takes a lot of work to go back and forth there. Plus such lowly work, we just need you to do it. Hurry and wash. I know. Is my foot pretty? Pretty. You are only suitable to serve my foot. Raise the candle and attend all night! Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com Why are you crying? Like you’ve been cheated ? Get up and go wash the floors. What’s wrong? Coming so late at night. I have been looking for Yanwan for a long time and I can’t find her no matter what. Can you keep a watch for me when you have spare time too? I can’t think of any other way now. Why don’t you ask Her Highness Consort Xian on this matter? I can’t bring up stuff like that easily. Alright, I’ll try to watch for you. But we’re in this large Forbidden City and finding a palace maid, that’s like finding a needle in an ocean. Sister. Sister. Sister. Sister. I am new here. I want to go to Kunning Palace but I’m lost. Don’t you see which palace we belong to before you block us? Sister, then may I ask which palace you’re from? We are from Qixiang Palace, you know. Then, how do I go to Kunning Palace? Turn and go straight up ahead. Such a confused idiot working for the palace. Go. Ying’er, why are you dazed? Hurry and go. Miss Suoxin. – You’re on patrol today?
– Yes. I came to pray to God for my mistress. Miss, hold on a moment. Can you listen to me a bit? You said Qixiang Palace calls her what? Guard Ling said “Ying’er”. Ying’er? When did she go to Qixiang Palace? That day when she held the peonies to go to Changchun Palace. I heard she lost control and broke the flower pot. Her Highness the Empress was angry and she was sent to Qixiang Palace, to let Consort Jia teach her. She changed her name and she’s getting bullied. It seems I’m the target. Yes. Ying’er’s “Ying” is your maiden name “Ying”. (T/N the character used) Qixiang Palace likes to torment Yanwan. They won’t let her be harmed too badly or die. Tell Ling Yunche to wait a bit. When we have the opportunity, we will rescue her from Qixiang Palace. Mistress, Dragon Boat Festival is almost here. Mistress Yu made so many tiger-medicine pouches and five-poison sachets for the Fifth Prince to ward off evil. When Dragon Boat Festival is here, have Yongqi wear them so Hailan can see. Yes. [ Changchun Palace ] Dragon Boat Festival. Each palace is to bathe in bluegrass. These five poison sachets contain realgar and mugwort and variety of scents. They can ward off insects and evil. You wear it as a token of my thought. Thank you, Empress. Your Highness the Empress, the five-poison cake is ready. (T/N rose-flavored cake with these creatures printed on it: scorpions, frogs, spiders, centipedes, and snakes) Then bring it up and everyone can have a taste. Yes. Zhao Yitai, take a portion of five-poison cake to Yangxin Hall. His Majesty is managing Guangdong’s food levy so he won’t be coming here. Yes. Ying’er. Subtitles and Timings By The Qing Hair and Those Who Dare Team @ Viki.com May Mistress try some five-poison cake. What is this rule? We don’t know about it. What rule? They are just slaves, born to serve others. Consort Xian. What do you say? Your Highness Consort Jia. Palace maids are all from the Eight Banners. (T/N Three types – Han, Mongol, Manchu, 8 of each, these are the frame of the military and their families) His Majesty is always gracious to servants. If he finds out, it won’t be good. Ying’er, you tell everyone. Did I force you, or you’re willing yourself? Ying’er is a servant. I was born to serve you, Mistress. This cherry mouth of yours sure makes sharp words. I remember this foolish maid belonged to the greenhouse. Her name is Wei Yanwan. How come her name changed in your hands? I just like her lip color, as red as cherry blossoms. So I just made up the name Ying’er. I didn’t do it because your maiden name used to be “Qingying”. Since her name is fated with mine a bit, why don’t I beg you to spare her to me? That can’t be. I just can’t be parted from her for now. If I give her to you, and if His Majesty gets an eyeful and grabs the wrong person, then what do we do then? Alright. It’s just a palace maid. Consort Xian, if you like, I can have the Internal Affairs Department pick a good one to give you. You don’t need to steal Consort Jia’s favorite. Yes. I saw how Consort Jia bullied Yanwan. I felt quite awful. Sister, I suggest to you that you do not try to rescue Yanwan. For now, you saw how when you mentioned it, Consort Jia won’t allow it so sternly. Why don’t you wait till she’s tired of her. Second, I saw her trying to seduce His Majesty before. She really isn’t a positioned person. She seduced His Majesty? No wonder she had to cut off her childhood sweetheart Ling Yunche. Then it was after she went to the greenhouse she changed her mind. I only know her to be greedy for glory. I didn’t know she could abandon her childhood sweetheart too. Sister, such a cold-hearted calculating person. Let’s not pay attention to her. Suoxin, go tell Ling Yunche he should cherish himself instead. Don’t keep thinking of that Yanwan. Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager! Empress Dowager, congratulations, Mistress Chun safely gave birth to the Sixth Prince! His Majesty granted him the name, Yongrong. No wonder His Majesty is happy. Consort Chun has many children. She’s very blessed. More children is more blessing. She was granted to the old manor back in the day, based all on her body being good for child-rearing. Late Emperor and Royal Mother have good discernment. Empress, you go to Zhongcui Palace to visit her too. Congratulate her well. Yes. [ Zhongcui Palace ] Peace to Your Highness the Empress. Where’s Consort Chun? Replying to Your Highness the Empress, His Majesty is inside with our mistress. I’ll go take a look. Don’t announce me. Yes. Look at his brows, so much like yours. Yes. His brows look like mine, but his face is like yours. Good. Look at the handsome look. He is a blessed child. Raise him well and I will visit him often. I thank you. I will raise Yongzhang and Yongrong well for you. Look at how he’s smiling. Empress, you were already there. Why didn’t you go in to see her and the baby? I saw His Majesty with Consort Chun. It was like when I birthed Yonglian. They are a perfect little family in great bliss. If I went in, I would feel like I’m interrupting. You can’t say that. No matter how many princes she has, they are all born to a mistress. You have nothing to be jealous of. Your pregnancy medicine, Your Highness. It’s so bitter. Your Highness wanted to increase the potency so we doubled the prescription. The taste is bitter indeed. This is the best ginseng from Mount Changbai. Old Madam selected these especially. The donkey hide gelatin and deer antler powder sent in last time, you’ve eaten most of them. His Majesty comes often but I show no movement. I worry too that I’m over thirty and it’s not easy to get pregnant. So I am increasing the potency of the medicine. But it’s Consort Chun who is blessed. She’s got a second prince to her credit so fast. Your Highness, don’t worry. We’ve been trying hard. You will have movement soon. But it’s been so long, so how can I not worry? Yonghuang is already married. Who’s to know when he might birth the first royal grandson? While my legitimate heir isn’t born yet. Royal Mother is rushing me every time she comes to the palace and I’m in a rush too. The first heir is elder in age, but good thing he’s not favored. His wife is from a small clan too. Yonghuang used to be raised by Consort Xian. She instigated him, so he harbored ambition to steal the power. Yonghuang’s birth mother died in labor. There were no rumors then. But these years, there has been some suppositions, saying it was I who couldn’t stand her. If that gets heard by Yonghuang, would he trust it as truth? What if Yonghuang becomes crown prince? How can I rest? It’s because First Prince is an adult now that those with motives are making drama to steal the crown prince seat. I feel injust for you. All the bad deeds are blamed on us. Consort Zhe died in labor with a princess. Two lives lost at once. And others suspect it’s my doing. Your Highness. Your Highness, you’re bleeding from the nose! Send for the Royal Physician! Zhao Yitai! Send for the Royal Physician! Yes. Your Highness. Your Highness, are you alright? You added to the prescription by doubling it? Yes. By Her Highness the Empress’ order. Your Highness. You were too rushed. Physician Qi, how is my health? Your Highness’ health is actually fine. I prescribed medicine to induce pregnancy, all by the medicines that are suitable to your body. But you can’t double it. Did you take anything else? Some warm tonics? Her Highness felt impatient. She did take in large amounts of donkey hide gelatin, ginseng and deer antler. These are all good things that tone your body. But it could get counterproductive. Your Highness aspires for a son. I prescribed pregnancy inducing medicine, all with ingredients most suitable to your body. If you are stubborn and add onto it, you will end up with too much blood, causing bleeding. If you harm your core qi and cough blood, then that will be too late to recover. Physician Qi, tell me the truth. I am already past thirty years in age. Can I really be pregnant again or not? Your Highness, age is not the most important. On that, you may be assured. You just remember this. Fatigue is the most harmful to the body. If you can allow yourself to be relaxed and maintain it, how will you not be pregnant? You surely will. Then I shall leave it to you. Yes. You all leave first. Yes. Physician Qi, how is Noble Consort lately? His Majesty disallows the royal physicians to treat her, but I know her illness. It’s hung on for two years, but it probably won’t bear through this winter. Moxin. Cold. I’m cold. This year’s been snowing a lot and the chill’s been very difficult. I will drape another warm blanket over you. Xingxuan, go get the warm blanket. Yes. His Majesty still hasn’t come to see me? His Majesty is very busy with state affairs, but he will come when he has the time. His Majesty already forgot me. That’s not possible, Mistress. This medicine’s been warmed up many times already. You should take it while it’s warm. Your body will recover. Then you can serve His Majesty well. I won’t live. How am I different from a living corpse now? Mistress, don’t be like that. I am with you. It will be alright. Your Majesty, Gao Bin and his wife sent things to Her Highness Noble Consort Hui again, and asked about the Noble Consort’s health. I replied she’s been ill for many years. Your Majesty has been tending to her all along. Alright. Go now. Yes. Brother, you’re higher-ranked now. You still come to the Cold Palace to visit me. How loyal you are. Enough. We’re brothers, so shove the cordial stuff. Drink up. What’s wrong? Such a worried look. It’s Yanwan again, of course. Since she was sent to Qixiang Palace, I can’t even see her. Last month I saw her by coincidence once. I only asked one question and she started crying. She said she can’t eat enough and dress warm enough there. She gets beat up and scolded daily. Who’s bullying her? It makes me feel so — Your heart aches, is that right? Then why don’t you go and beg Her Highness Consort Xian? When she was in Cold Palace we helped her. Don’t mention Consort Xian anymore. She’s tried to help Yanwan, but she got mocked by Consort Jia. She got mocked, and how can I be brazen and ask again? Look at you. Even Consort Xian doesn’t have a way. What can you do then? Brother, I recommend you just forget this worry. That Yanwan betrayed you before anyway. You just can’t help her and that’s it. I thought about it too. Since Yanwan had a change of heart, I should be like before, treating her well. Qixiang Palace, it is hard for her. What about it though? I told her to endure it. I will think of a way and that’s all I can do. Alright. Then Brother, I hope you will get your wish, but you’ve got to be careful yourself. Don’t be taken by the girl every time. When was I taken by a girl? Seriously. Come, drink. Alright, toast. This Xianfu Palace is so cursed. A few palace maids all got scabies, and that Xingxuan, she died from a disease! Xingxuan was Noble Consort’s maid brought in as dowry to the marriage. Yes. But she died and no one cares. Just a straw mat and sent out. Scabies? All their stuff won’t be clean. Lock up all the rooms that the palace maids used. And no one touch the stuff inside. Done? We brought everything out. Hurry up and lock up. Let’s go. How come it’s just you? Where’s Xingxuan? Xingxuan got scabies and died. Other palace maids were sent out too, afraid they would give their illness to you. Xingxuan died. Xingxuan died too. If I die here some day, no one will know either. Moxin, you find a way to send word out, that I want to see His Majesty. Yes, I will go now. Noble Consort Hui has really fallen to that state? Her illness has already entered the meridian points. These years I’ve had her recover in peace. What more does she have to worry? Noble Consort Hui has congenital weakness. And she is overly competitive. So I fear we see no improvement despite curating. Plus she’s added illness of being frightened last few years. Even if her body was made of iron, she wouldn’t last. She did not cherish herself. Your Majesty, forgive my boldness. Noble Consort Hui, I fear will be this month or next. I understand. I take my leave. ‫do you remember now? ‫Isn’t this your car? ‫Shan shan, ‫surrender yourself. Escaping
‫isn’t a way to resolve this. ‫If you are too scared to go
‫to the police, I’ll go with you. ‫I have heard the victim isn’t hurt badly.
‫As long as you sincerely apologize… ‫I didn’t do it. I
‫said I didn’t do it. ‫Before leaving the country, I gave the
‫car keys to my sister and only you knew. ‫And the only one who can freely get
‫in and out of my sister’s room is you. ‫Even now, you are still not admitting
‫you’re the one who secretly drove my car. ‫It’s not me. I already
‫said it’s not me. ‫Shan shan, what’s wrong? Why
‫do call me here so urgently? ‫Xue qing, you finally came.
‫This time I have a huge problem. ‫You have to help me. I didn’t do
‫it on purpose. I just wanted to play. ‫But you have to tell
‫me what happened first. ‫That day… I drove
‫tian lang’s car out. ‫I hit a person. ‫Shan shan, you hit a person? ‫I didn’t do it on purpose. I was driving
‫and suddenly this person hit my car. ‫Hit your car. ‫Ohh, I get it now.
‫You have met a scammer. ‫Scammer. Yes, them. ‫They hit onto my car and
‫wanted a lot of money from me. ‫I was afraid then so I
‫just gave them the money. ‫How could you do this? You should’ve call
‫the police first in that kind of situation. ‫I had to go to Singapore for a
‫meeting the next day. If I had ‫called the police, it definitely
‫would’ve affected my schedule. ‫I had to immediately go to school.
‫Even if it wasn’t me who crashed. ‫This rumor would be really
‫bad for my dad and his company. ‫I don’t want tian lang to hate me. Thinking
‫that if it can be resolved by money… ‫So I used money to resolve it. ‫Okay, you thought too much. But isn’t
‫this letting the people go too easily? ‫Right now, the main problem
‫is, I don’t know where tian lang ‫found a picture. He believed
‫firmly that I’m the one who hit them ‫and he wants me to go
‫to the police tomorow. ‫Sister, you have to help me.
‫I’m innocent. You have to help me! ‫How come tian lang didn’t
‫trust his own person? ‫Shan shan, don’t worry. I’ll definitely
‫help you so you won’t be wronged. ‫Are you thinking of
‫shan shan’s problem? ‫Look at this yourself. ‫This isn’t even shan
‫shan crashing into people. ‫This is clearly the
‫aftermath of a fraud. ‫- Where did you get this picture?
‫- I spent money and bought it. ‫Even you got tricked.
‫This group of swindlers ‫already took shan shan’s
‫money and still didn’t stop. ‫Shan shan gave them money? ‫Look, if she didn’t do it then
‫why did she give them money? ‫How come you don’t believe her?
‫Shanshan met a scammer and gave them money. ‫Who sold the picture to you?
‫I’ll call the police to catch them. ‫What you’re saying is that the
‫person who sold me this picture ‫and the victim are together
‫with the purpose to trick me. ‫Of course, why would they take the
‫money and still mention old matters? ‫This bunch of liars is never. ‫They have already succeeded once and
‫still want to succeed a second time. ‫Okay, then I’ll report this to
‫the police and catch all these liars ‫to prevent this from happening
‫endlessly in the future. ‫Nan! ‫- Shan shan!
‫- Nan, I miss you so much. ‫I miss you, too! ‫I heard you came home a long time
‫ago. Why don’t you come and see me? ‫Didn’t you go on vacation? I heard
‫you came back so I came right away. ‫Nan, I bought a gift
‫for you. Do you like it? ‫Oh. ‫To let you go on this
‫expense, sorry to trouble you. ‫Wow, this hat is so beautiful. ‫Nan, I have also bought a gift for
‫tian lang. Can I bring it to his room? ‫- Of course you can.
‫- Go ahead. ‫Who sold the picture to
‫tian lang? I must find him. ‫Where is it? If I can’t find
‫it, it will be troublesome. ‫What to do if it goes
‫to the police station? ‫Even if this can be hidden
‫from tian lang, but it ‫cannot hold out on the police.
‫I can’t let this get big. ‫Shan shan. ‫- Nan.
‫- What are you doing? ‫Why are you flipping
‫through tian lang’s things? ‫Did you make a mess?
‫He will be upset. ‫Nan, please I beg you. ‫Please keep this a
‫secret for me, okay? ‫Please don’t tell tian lang.
‫He will definitely be angry. ‫I didn’t say I will tell him. ‫Tian lang already dislikes me. ‫I am afraid if he knows,
‫he will ignore me forever. ‫What happened between
‫you and tian lang? ‫- Did you guys meet?
‫- Yes. ‫Nan, help me. Please
‫help me. I beg of you. ‫Let’s sit down first. ‫Just what happened? ‫Hey, stop right here! Don’t
‫think you will be leaving today. ‫It’s you again. Are
‫you following me? ‫You came here at a
‫perfect time. There is ‫more than one thing I
‫need to settle with you. ‫We can talk about the rest later.
‫Let’s first discuss your scamming. ‫- Scamming?
‫- I just don’t understand. ‫Aren’t you and ju shan shan
‫friends? How can you do this to her? ‫Really never thought
‫that even though you are ‫so young, you are already
‫full of evil schemes. ‫I didn’t understand a word you said.
‫What does this have to do with shanshan? ‫Let me tell you, I came
‫here today just to ask ‫you on July 23rd who was
‫the one driving this car? ‫What? The money for selling the picture
‫is not enough? You still want more? ‫What money for selling
‫the picture? Say it clearly. ‫You are still acting. ‫I will not be deceived again. ‫Who else is there other than me? ‫You are still pretending? ‫If I gave this picture to the
‫police, then you will know to be afraid. ‫Do what you like. If it
‫doesn’t have anything to do with ‫shanshan, then I won’t have
‫to worry about hurting her. ‫Tomorrow, whoever does not arrive at
‫the police station will be a little dog. ‫I will wait for you tomorrow. ‫What? How can you
‫experience a thing like this! ‫Therefore, I must find that picture.
‫If they take it to the police station… ‫It will be inexcusable
‫no matter what I say. ‫Shan shan, no offense but how can
‫you make such friends? So not genuine. ‫I think she took the florist
‫grandma there on purpose to scam you. ‫Girls these days, just never
‫give up until they reach their goal. ‫She must have wanted to
‫get some money from you. ‫Nan, what should I do? ‫I think what tian lang is doing is
‫correct. We must hold them with the law. ‫But they are together as a group,
‫they can testify for each other. ‫This is practically
‫a scamming team. ‫If my mom was still here, she
‫would let no one bully me like this. ‫I miss my mom! ‫Okay, okay. ‫Shan shan and xin xin
‫are the same age. Will xin ‫xin also be crying like
‫this calling for mom? ‫If she was bullied,
‫will anyone help her? ‫Shan shan, nan will
‫help you pay them back. ‫Nan, you are so nice to me. ‫Set up a time with her. ‫I’d like to see what
‫kind of girl this is. ‫Hello? Shan shan. ‫Really? So many. ‫Of, course. No problem. No, no, no. I
‫will definitely get it there by 10 o’clock. ‫Grandma, a huge order arrived. ‫100 roses. 30
‫pots of poinsettia. ‫So many? Who asked for it? ‫Jushi holiday resort. We must get
‫it there before ten. Let’s hurry. ‫This is all. Please
‫check if it’s correct. ‫Yes, that’s correct. Ms. Qing
‫ling, please come inside with me. ‫Where are we going? You still
‫didn’t pay me for the flowers. ‫Pay inside. ‫It’s here. ‫Thank you. ‫Hello. Is this where
‫I get my payment? ‫I don’t need this much. ‫There is only this much, too. ‫No, I think you are mistaken. ‫There is no more
‫than this, either. ‫If you are sensible,
‫just quickly take it. ‫Greedy people will
‫not have a good end. ‫No, aunty, you must be mistaken. ‫Mom, don’t go, don’t go! ‫- Mom, don’t go!
‫- Let me go! ‫Mom! ‫Aren’t you qing ling? ‫Yes. How do you
‫know? You know me? ‫I understand your background. ‫Grown up in an orphanage.
‫Working at a florist. ‫I heard recently that you and a middle
‫age woman scammed in front of a fancy car. ‫Do you guys also depend on
‫scamming for extra income? ‫What are you saying? What
‫scamming and swindling? ‫Why are you so rushed? ‫You appear to be quite clever. ‫How can you do such a thing? ‫I think this is not what
‫this orphanage taught you. ‫Let me tell you, you are not
‫permitted to insult the orphanage. ‫You are the one humiliating
‫your orphanage’s reputation. ‫I’m warning you. This ¥10,000 is my limit.
‫Please do not trouble my child anymore. ‫Let alone, tricking their money,
‫or else, I won’t be easy on you. ‫You are absurd. ‫I don’t know who you are
‫or who your children are. ‫I just want my flower
‫bill. I won’t take the rest. ‫Huh. See. The
‫fox’s tail shows up. ‫Just now, I have recorded your
‫process of taking the money. ‫This is the proof of
‫you extorting money. ‫I told you, I will just take my flower
‫money. I will not take a penny extra. ‫But this recording, only taped
‫your process of taking the money. ‫Why would you frame
‫me? Just who are you? ‫This is called a
‫tooth for a tooth. ‫Who are you? ‫Who am I, is not important.
‫But I want to remind you, ‫if you want to live a wealthy
‫life, use your own hands. ‫Crooked ways will not prevail. ‫Tell me, if I really hand
‫this recording to the police ‫and let them display
‫it on the web, ‫I wonder how long you can still
‫stay in this city? If I were you, ‫I would take the money,
‫and the case about the ‫car accident will be
‫wiped off once and for all. ‫I will also not give
‫you additional money. ‫Car accident?
‫Grandma’s accident. ‫Just who are you exactly? ‫Don’t forget your evidence. ‫Madam! ‫Madam, this is your belonging.
‫You forgot to take it. ‫What to do? What to do? I must prevent
‫him from going to the police station. ‫- Stop the car.
‫- What? You want to run away? ‫It’s already eleven. Police also
‫need to take a break. Moreover, ‫I am with you from morning till
‫now without time for breakfast. ‫I am hungry to death. Stop
‫the car. I want to eat now. ‫What are you yelling
‫for? When we arrived at the ‫police station, I will get
‫you something to eat nearby. ‫I can’t wait. Just that one! ‫Just that one! What are
‫you doing? It’s dangerous. ‫Just eat a bit randomly.
‫Quickly stop the car. ‫Hey, shan shan. ‫Are you sure you
‫want to eat here? ‫I am so hungry. Let’s just
‫randomly eat a little here. ‫The food safety here
‫is definitely not ‫qualified. If you want
‫to eat, eat by yourself. ‫Then you can just wait here. I
‫have been waiting for you all morning. ‫- Boss, a bowl of noodle please.
‫- Okay, just a moment. ‫Never mind. Pain it shall be. ‫- Your noodle is ready.
‫- Thank you. ‫Shan shan, what happened? ‫- My foot… so painful.
‫- How is it? ‫Is it alright? ‫Bring me to the hospital. ‫Thank you, doctor. ‫It hurts so much. Why am I so unlucky? To
‫get into this state just by eating a meal. ‫Okay, okay. Stop whining.
‫Oh right, shan shan ‫you wait here for me. I
‫will go get the prescription. ‫Why don’t you take the
‫suit off? It’s so dirty. ‫You will get the
‫inside wet, too. ‫Please hold it for me. ‫There are a lot of people. It will probably
‫take a couple minutes. Wait here for me. ‫You tell me that you hurt yourself
‫like this for such a small matter. ‫If you crash into
‫someone, just apologize, ‫and give more compensation.
‫It will not look good ‫if you have something
‫like this on your record. ‫You are the heir to
‫shancheng enterprise. ‫Don’t worry. I am the daughter of
‫ju shiping. I won’t bring you shame. ‫I will definitely
‫settle this matter right. ‫As long as I have this,
‫everything will be fine. ‫You already made yourself like
‫this. What is there to be happy about? ‫To do big things, you cannot
‫just depend on petty tricks. ‫To inherit shancheng enterprise,
‫you still have lots to learn. ‫Dad, can’t you not
‫always crack me down. ‫Assistant manager Yang. ‫Why are you here?
‫Where is shan shan? ‫Director ju sent shan shan back. ‫Did he give you my suit? ‫No, I don’t know. ‫Gosh, my car keys are
‫still in the jacket. ‫It’s assistant manager Yang. ‫It’s surely duan tian lang
‫calling for his jacket. You just ‫tell him that the jacket is at the
‫dry cleaner and tell him to fetch it. ‫I still don’t know
‫what that aunty is. ‫So you were here! ‫Sorry, I am late. ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫She still has the nerve to
‫ask. It’s all because of you! ‫I just came. What does
‫it have to do with me? ‫Okay, I don’t want to
‫argue with you. Didn’t ‫you say to go to the
‫police station? Let’s go. ‫What to do when we go there?
‫The picture is washed into a mess. ‫Are you doing this on purpose?
‫Look at the time right now! ‫I already apologized to
‫you. What else do you want? ‫What do I want? I want
‫to ask what you want! ‫You person… ‫- Manager…
‫- What? ‫Can you lower your voice a
‫bit. So many people are watching. ‫- Come with me.
‫- What are you doing? ‫We will find a quiet place to
‫discuss this matter in detail. ‫What are you looking at? ‫Vice president, just
‫now manager grabbed a girl ‫away. ‫- What are you doing? Let go!
‫- Sit down! ‫What are you doing? ‫You pervert! Believe it, I will
‫call the police to capture you. ‫You watch too much TV. ‫If it’s not that I
‫don’t have the evidence, ‫I can also call the
‫police to capture you. ‫I didn’t do anything wrong. ‫He’s a pervert. This
‫place is dangerous. ‫No. I must run. ‫Hey! ‫What is the smell on your body? ‫Tian lang! ‫You guys… what
‫are you guys doing? ‫Tian lang, this is your private
‫resting chamber. How did she come in? ‫Older sister,
‫don’t misunderstand. ‫You pervert! You are not human! ‫Tian lang, what is going on? ‫Older sister, don’t misunderstand.
‫I am not interested in that woman. ‫I have a smell? You are the
‫one who has a smell on your body! ‫Unfathomable! Taking
‫advantage of me. If I had ‫known earlier I should
‫have kicked him more. ‫The east villa including decorations,
‫all finished reconstruction. ‫We can start operating it as a
‫villa hotel starting next week. ‫Inform the planning department, to initiate
‫completely the villa hotel advertisement. ‫Yes, general manager. ‫What did the chief
‫editor say to you? ‫Just the usual. Responsibility ‫and enthusiasm. ‫He is taking care of you. ‫He wants me to write
‫an advertisement. ‫Me! Ding hai. ‫I am a senior
‫financial journalist. ‫Zhengtai hotel
‫villa advertisement. ‫How did you know? ‫I am responsible for the photos. ‫Let’s go, partner. ‫We met before. Do
‫you still remember? ‫What about it? ‫This style is decent. ‫Don’t misunderstand. ‫I am not a shameless person
‫depending on women to eat. ‫I have a proper job. ‫I am just missing a
‫friend treating me to wine. ‫I don’t have interest
‫in being your friend. ‫My girlfriend just gave
‫me her wedding invitation. ‫I wished her happiness. ‫You are talking about liu yali? ‫She told me that you
‫two are just friends. ‫She told it to you this way? ‫So, I was always
‫one-sided this whole time. ‫What about you? ‫Why are you not happy? ‫I don’t have interest in
‫exchanging concerns with you. ‫A stranger who is someone you are not
‫responsible for or need to be worried about ‫is sometimes safer
‫compared to close people. ‫Close people. ‫Who are close people? ‫Family? Friend? Or lover? ‫Who can you believe? ‫Stranger. ‫You do not need to suspect what I
‫say, because I have no link with you. ‫Therefore, no matter what
‫you say, I will believe you. ‫Huh? Qing ling,
‫why are you here? ‫I am here to give ding
‫hai a midnight snack. But ‫I’ve been calling
‫him with no answer. ‫And he doesn’t like me
‫to disturb him upstairs. ‫How about you call
‫him down for me? ‫Ding hai is in a
‫meeting upstairs. ‫How about I bring it up for you? ‫That’s fine, too. I made
‫lots. Share some with everyone. ‫Thank you. ‫It’s getting late. Why
‫don’t you go back soon? ‫Be careful on the way. ‫Lying to a innocent girl. ‫Ding hai, keep sinning. ‫Do you want to go for a ride? ‫Where’s your car? ‫Thanks. ‫I didn’t drive my car today,
‫because I came to get drunk. ‫Then, what are we
‫going to do now? ‫You treated me to liquor, how
‫about I treat you now to tea? ‫Not buying drunkness anymore? ‫Where are we going? ‫Are you willing to
‫trust a stranger? ‫I would rather buy
‫a lottery ticket. ‫Let’s go. ‫- Careful.
‫- Where are we? ‫This place is not
‫officially open, but ‫my home is here. ‫Your home? ‫Which one? ‫What you mean by home is
‫that this house is yours? ‫That’s right. ‫You… ‫That’s right. This is
‫the key to the villa. ‫- What’s wrong?
‫- How come it is in his hand? ‫Can you give me
‫the key back now? ‫How big is your
‫house? How much is it? ‫What property right? ‫What are you laughing about? ‫Taxi! ‫Hey. Eh? You. ‫What are you doing? ‫Drive. ‫Hey, hey. Are you
‫out of your mind? ‫Crazy person. ‫Still investigating
‫the car accident? ‫It must be lili’s
‫big mouth again. ‫I do not blame the driver. ‫Why is that? ‫Two reasons. ‫First, because of you. ‫Because of the car accident,
‫we got close, isn’t that right? ‫And, one more reason. ‫Everyone has their
‫own moral sense. ‫This hit-and-run driver runs away
‫because he knows he made a mistake. ‫But, if you know you are
‫wrong, then you should not run. ‫Okay, okay. Look at us. ‫Sitting here appreciating
‫the view is a fortune. ‫Sometimes, letting go is
‫easier to receive happiness. ‫Try letting go. ‫Grandma already
‫said it. Then, okay. ‫Okay. ‫Ah. You mean the hit-and-run
‫driver’s sister crashed into grandma xu? ‫Older sister was scared at
‫the time, that’s why she run. ‫But, she knows she is wrong
‫now and wants to compensate. ‫She asked me for
‫help. I must help her. ‫She is my sister-in-law. ‫You already have a family. You
‫should understand my feelings. ‫But then, grandma xu
‫will be so wronged. ‫I will compensate her. ‫How can qing ling
‫accept your money? ‫Anyway, can you help me
‫keep this a secret? Okay? ‫Fine, fine. ‫Just pretend I never came here,
‫and you didn’t tell me anything. ‫I will just pretend I
‫didn’t hear anything. ‫I just know you
‫are the best, lili. ‫Okay, I already
‫told you everything. ‫What to do now is up to you. ‫Qing ling is still waiting for me
‫to transfer money. I will go now. ‫Wait, lili. ‫What did you say? You are going
‫to transfer money to qing ling? ‫Quick, sit down. Sit down! ‫How about this? I give
‫you the money and you ‫can transfer it into
‫qing ling’s account. ‫Then she will accept it. ‫Don’t forget to
‫give me the receipt. ‫Is this a good idea? ‫Qing ling will
‫definitely come to find me. ‫If anything happens,
‫just tell her to find me. ‫Lili. Lili. ‫Are you crazy? Or are you blind? ‫Do you know how much
‫extra money you transferred? ‫You transferred an extra
‫¥100,000, a whole ¥100,000. ‫You scared me! ‫Shan shan wanted to coddle
‫up to her sister-in-law, ‫so that’s why she’s
‫willing to spend that much? ‫What are you saying? ‫Shan shan gave you this money. ‫For grandma xu. ‫Shan shan. Why
‫would she do that? ‫She sees you going around about
‫the car accident. She thinks ‫you are tiring yourself. She
‫doesn’t want you to be tired. ‫I think what she says is right.
‫This case has already passed so long. ‫I think we need to
‫think about the reality. ‫If you have this money, you
‫will be better financially. ‫And, making perfume
‫costs a lot of money. ‫But, I can’t take this
‫money from shan shan. ‫Listen, shan shan thinks this
‫incidence is related to her boyfriend. ‫So, she must feel guilty inside. ‫Qing ling, I think
‫we can let it go. ‫I can’t talk clearly with
‫you. I’m going to find her. ‫Huh? I… ‫Qing ling! ‫Shan shan? I’m here. ‫- How is your foot?
‫- Much better. ‫How come you are late when
‫you arranged our meeting? ‫Sorry, sorry. I’m here now. ‫Right, give me your
‫bank account number. ‫I’m returning the money to you. ‫Why are you so stubborn? ‫Shan shan, thank you. ‫I accept your kindness, but it doesn’t
‫make sense for me to take your money. ‫If you do not agree, I will go back to get
‫cash and make another trip to your house. ‫I really can’t argue over you.
‫I will message it over later. ‫Then what are we going to do
‫about grandma’s car accident? ‫Grandma said it’s easier to
‫obtain happiness by letting go. ‫So, on second thought ‫I decided to temporarily
‫not pursue this matter. ‫- You really decided to let go?
‫- Yes. ‫Tian lang, you are home. ‫Why did you just come back? Shan shan has
‫been waiting for you here for a long time. ‫Your foot is better? ‫Almost. Thank you for sending
‫me to the hospital that day. ‫Shan shan, why
‫should you thank him? ‫If he did not trust the
‫words of a liar and drag you ‫to the police station, this
‫situation would not happen. ‫This case is still not certain. ‫Why are you still
‫serious about this? ‫Qing ling is just a criminal. ‫Last time, I almost got
‫trapped by her and an old lady. ‫If you don’t believe me, you can ask
‫lawyer chen. He helped me resolve this. ‫The same scammer. ‫- Really?
‫- You still do not believe it? ‫The swindler asked shan shan
‫for another hundred thousand. ‫Shan shan, show him
‫the bank receipt. ‫Xue qing. ‫What are you dawdling
‫about? Show it to him. ‫If you look at this you
‫will know I did not lie. ‫Tian lang, I know
‫that girl, too. ‫Last time, I gave her ten thousand
‫dollars but she did not take it. ‫I think she must
‫feel it’s too little. ‫This time she asked shan
‫shan for ten thousand. ‫I think she will
‫never let off shan shan. ‫Take a look. ‫You do not believe the words of the
‫three of us. You just believe in a picture. ‫Didn’t you also
‫buy that picture? ‫Taking it this way, the four
‫of us have all been lied to. ‫We are all victims. ‫Is your brain not working? ‫Why would you give
‫her money again? ‫For people like this,
‫the more you listen to ‫them, the more they think
‫you are easy to bully. ‫I was afraid she would
‫make trouble for you again. ‫Stupid. ‫I will settle this
‫matter out for you. ‫See? Tian lang agreed
‫to come forward for you. ‫This is an opportunity for
‫both of you to develop feelings. ‫I didn’t think you would help
‫shan shan. So warm-hearted. ‫I have hoped tian lang
‫would distant himself ‫from qing ling by
‫showing the receipt. ‫But who knows, it’s
‫just the opposite. ‫Tian lang. ‫How many times have I said it?
‫Do you not know how to knock? ‫Eat some fruit. ‫Tian lang, what do you
‫want to do about qing ling? ‫We cannot let her alone. ‫She is making trouble
‫for us again and again. ‫If we do not fight back, she
‫will think we are afraid of her. ‫You really want
‫to call the police? ‫Why not? ‫Lawyer chen and your bank receipt
‫is enough to send her to prison. ‫Tian lang, don’t be like this.
‫I am friends with her after all. ‫Did your brain break down? ‫If she really thinks of you as a
‫friend, will she bully you again and again? ‫She has her reasons to do this. ‫You don’t know. She’s an orphan. ‫Back in school, in
‫order to buy stuff for ‫children in the orphanage,
‫she sold wild flowers. ‫That’s why she thinks money
‫is important. It is reasonable. ‫Tian lang, just let
‫her off this time. Okay? ‫Just because she has
‫a reason does not mean ‫she can be excused
‫when she commits crimes. ‫Tian lang, for the sake of
‫that I am her friend, let her go. ‫I promise not to spoil
‫her again in the future. ‫If you are not speaking,
‫I will take it as a yes. ‫You are so good to me. ‫I am so moved. ‫What are you doing? ‫Say it, why do you
‫want to meet me? ‫It’s my first time seeing
‫someone as shameless as you. ‫Appearing so righteous when
‫you have done something guilty. ‫I don’t have time
‫to argue with you. ‫I am busier than you are. ‫Sign this. ‫What is it? ‫Guarantee letter. ‫Promise not to see
‫shan shan anymore. ‫Promise not to stir trouble
‫again because of the car accident. ‫No matter what the reason, promise not
‫to scam and earn money by hard work only. ‫What is this? ‫For you, it is a guarantee
‫letter. For me, it is a safeguard. ‫I agreed with shan
‫shan to let you go. ‫But I don’t think you
‫know how to be thankful. ‫To prevent you from scamming
‫again, I made this guarantee letter. ‫Sign it. ‫I will only keep my
‫promise after you sign this. ‫What promise? ‫To let you off. ‫You only have one chance. ‫Crazy person. It’s me
‫who is letting you off. ‫If it’s not for
‫shan shan’s sake, ‫I would have
‫already beat you up. ‫For the car accident
‫matter… for assaulting me. ‫Shut up. ‫That is a misunderstanding. I do not
‫allow you to make slanderous remarks. ‫Dare to act but afraid
‫to take responsibility. ‫Ah, I know. ‫This is how you put someone
‫in the seat of a criminal ‫and then threaten them. ‫I believe not too long from now,
‫you will say I sexually assaulted you., ‫and then demand
‫compensation from me. ‫What do you mean?
‫Are you insulting me? ‫I don’t know why shan shan
‫fancies someone like you. ‫The air stinks. ‫My mood is so much better. ‫This smell… ‫This. ‫You! ‫Return it to you! ‫Why does this smell
‫brighten someone’s mood? ‫- Qing ling.
‫- Ah hai. ‫Here. Your share of the money. ‫Thanks. ‫Why are you so polite
‫with me. Is ¥2000 enough? ‫Enough. They are not
‫out of money anyway. ‫But this not the same. This is
‫the daughter of your higher up. ‫You should buy more gifts.
‫Maybe they will be nicer to you. ‫You really believe in anything. ‫This is the money for
‫the woman I want to pursue. ‫It’s really enough. ‫This is bad. I can’t believe I
‫forgot my appointment with aunty. ‫I will call my mom and
‫tell her you are with me. ‫Let her wait a bit. ‫No. It’s my fault anyway.
‫I should have arrived. ‫How about…? Okay,
‫can you call aunty? ‫Help me persuade her. I am
‫afraid she is angry at me. ‫Did my mother upset you？ ‫of course not. ‫It’s because I am too stupid. ‫Ah hai, help me
‫think of something. ‫What can I do to
‫make aunty happy? ‫Stupid, you are
‫doing good already. ‫Qing ling, don’t
‫blame my mother. ‫She had a hard time
‫bringing me up by herself. ‫She is hard on you
‫because she loves me. ‫Don’t worry, of
‫course I know that. ‫You are a kind person. ‫She will understand you over
‫time. She will definitely like you. ‫Okay, then I will go now.
