Episode 7
Young lady.
Young lady, you must be startled.
Young lady, I am Gu Bei Yue, an imperial physician.
I am here to perform autopsy under the order of His Majesty.
What you saw...
is my pet.
Did it frighten you?
Gu Bei Yue?
I thought the Imperial Medical Institution...
can't identify the problem.
Why are you still here?
I am incompetent.
But, I'd still like to try and look for some clues here.
So, I stayed back.
I didn't mean to frighten you.
I apologise.
What are your findings?
Even though I do possess some medical knowledge,
I know very little about poison.
In fact, these poisons are very strange.
Even the best poison experts have no idea.
You're too humble, Imperial Physician Gu.
Everyone knows that you are the youngest and most outstanding...
imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Institution.
The Classic of Medicine you wrote...
benefited countless of people.
You know me?
I don't know you personally.
But, I know your name.
I'm flattered.
By the way,
what brought you over?
I...
I am...
Han Cong An.
Imperial Physician Han sent me over.
Imperial Physician Han?
Imperial Physician Han came to me this morning and said...
there's no progress in this case...
as they can't identify the poison.
So, he sent me over.
I see.
If you're recommended by Imperial Physician Han,
you must be an exceptional poison expert.
I'm just competent.
Young lady.
You don't have to be so humble.
Poison when used in the right way...
can treat patients too.
You really think so?
The people around me...
all say I'm fooling around...
and they find the study of poison a shameful thing.
Of course.
But, aren't you...
helping the sick and injured now?
Don't let those people bother you.
You are quite broad-minded.
For this,
I'll help you to examine these poisons.
Thank you for the guidance.
There's sign of an insect bite here.
Is this...
a mosquito?
It's a venomous mosquito.
This is a poison tester.
When in contact with poison, it'll react.
Young lady, you're amazing.
Can you identify the poison?
Young lady.
What's the matter?
Smell it.
It's the scent of sandalwood.
But, there's another scent in this sandalwood scent.
By right, the scent of sandalwood...
shouldn't be so lasting.
Let me think.
I know.
I read about it in an ancient book.
There's a kind of venomous mosquito...
called the Spider Mosquito.
When it smells a certain scent,
it will thirst for blood and go amok.
These people must have eaten or used something...
that gave off this scent.
So, they were bitten by the Spider Mosquitoes...
and killed by the venom.
What a vicious method.
Young lady.
May I know the title of that ancient book you read?
I'd like to study it as well.
The title of the ancient book?
I don't quite remember.
Imperial Physician Gu.
I'm going to report back.
See you.
Young...
Ancient book?
You said you're out of mosquito powder.
So, I made more for you.
Keep it in case you need it again.
Thank you.
The case isn't closed yet.
Now that Long Fei Ye is suspended,
he has time to investigate this case.
So, for now, you should avoid going out.
When it's safe,
I'll send Bai Su to contact you.
Am I not allowed to contact you?
Only contact me when necessary.
Are you leaving?
Anything else?
Those corpses are still in the coffin home.
I heard Emperor Tian Hui ordered...
the Imperial Medical Institution to assist in the investigation.
Should I get rid of them?
Do you think those fools from the Imperial Medical Institution...
can find any clue?
Now, we only need to bide our time.
If we act without a plan, we'll alert our enemy.
We'll only arouse Long Fei Ye's suspicion.
How vicious.
The poisonous scent itself is harmless to human body.
But, it can attract the Spider Mosquitoes.
The coroners and poison experts who examined the corpses...
won't discover anything.
The venom of the Spider Mosquito...
paralyses the veins...
and kills by stopping the heartbeat.
This is traceless murder.
The murderer is a poison expert indeed.
Please pity us.
-Please be kind. -Please be kind.
Thank you.
-Thank you. -You're so kind.
We met again, poison girl.
Thank you.
Thanks for the money.
- I'll return it to you next time. - Are you the only one...
allowed to donate money?
Thank you.
Why are you thanking me? Don't keep thanking me.
Count for yourself.
How many times have you thanked me?
You should show some sincerity.
In this case,
I'll buy you a meal next time.
That won't do.
This isn't the first time you said this.
How did I know that we'll bump into each other again so soon?
That's because we're fated to meet.
Right.
So, what do you want?
What kind of attitude is this?
You make it sound like I'm forcing you.
I'm so sad.
Alright. Enough jokes.
Buy me a meal now.
I don't have money now.
You can't buy me a meal?
Fine. I'll pay for the meal.
Is this alright?
-But... -But what?
It's just a meal.
Poison girl, be honest.
Are you actually not planning to eat with me?
No.
I'm really busy.
Once I'm done with my work,
I'll visit you and thank you personally.
That won't do. No one can guarantee that you'll really visit me.
Fine.
I know a noodle store that sells delicious noodles.
It's decided then.
Let's go.
It's over there.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Your Highness.
You came back so early today.
Where's the duchess?
The duchess is still in her room.
Please enjoy.
Thank you.
-It smells so good. -Do you come here very often?
This is my secret base.
Whenever I'm unhappy,
I'll come here for a bowl of piping hot noodles...
and I'll feel better.
If it isn't because you're my saviour, I wouldn't bring you over.
Looks like I should thank you.
You're welcome. Eat.
There's a special method for savouring the noodle.
You need to eat every noodle without breaking it.
You've to eat it whole.
That sounds serious.
What will happen if it snaps?
Your lifespan will be shortened.
Really?
You'd better believe it.
You broke it.
And you even challenged me.
Looks like your lifespan will be shortened.
Eat.
The empress dowager is starting to suspect my identity.
The duchess is looking for...
the imprint of the Wind Tribe on you.
Your Highness.
The snake venom in your body...
must be extracted with silver needles quickly.
Otherwise, it'll harm your body.
Your Highness.
I still need to insert a few needles on your back.
Your Highness.
I'm willing to serve you.
I've been out for a long time.
I need to go home.
Sorry.
Your medicine bottle.
Young lady, you're not allowed to go in.
It's a shame...
I didn't see her face.
Princess Qing Ge, the refreshment is ready.
Nanny.
Bring me that Thousand Year Blood Jade.
Yes.
Princess Qing Ge.
Please check.
This Thousand Year Blood Jade...
was given to my mother...
by my father as her birthday present.
It's my mother's favourite item.
After my mother passed away,
my father carried it with him.
It was not until the war between Western Qiu and Tian Ning broke out...
that my father handed it to me.
He said that...
the day he returns triumphant,
I may...
return this jade to him.
Princess Qing Ge.
Since you can't bear to give it away,
you should keep it for yourself.
Take this blood jade.
Walk past as many palaces in the royal harem as possible.
Let all imperial consorts know that...
you helped me to deliver...
a precious treasure to the empress dowager.
Princess Qing Ge, we're new here...
and His Majesty hasn't come for days.
He's clearly planning to neglect you.
Why do you want to...
make enemies in the royal harem at a time like this?
If I don't attract attention,
how do I make people pay attention to us?
Presently, in the palace,
be it the emperor, the empress dowager...
or the powerful imperial consorts...
who have established themselves in the royal harem,
they are all observing us from afar.
Yet, we can't make the first move.
It's true that we should remain passive first,
but we don't have so much time to waste here.
I can never rest assured until...
I avenge my father and country.
I understand.
I will go at once.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Which palace are you from?
Your Highness.
I'm from Qing Hui Palace.
I'm delivering a gift to the empress dowager...
for the lady I serve.
What's inside? Let me take a look.
Your Highness.
This is a treasure meant for the empress dowager.
My lady instructed me...
to let the empress dowager...
open it personally.
Are you threatening me with the empress dowager?
I dare not.
Since your master said so,
you may proceed.
I shall excuse myself.
Looks like someone is...
fed up with His Majesty's neglect.
She's from a nation of barbarians indeed.
Even though she's trying to please the empress dowager,
this isn't very clever of her.
Your Highness.
Presently, His Majesty trusts the second prince...
more than the crown prince.
Weren't you worried about...
that noble princess of Western Qiu...
stealing His Majesty's affection...
and putting the second prince in an unfavourable position?
Go find out...
what gift she's presenting to the empress dowager.
Yes.
I finally came this far.
I can't let an insignificant princess of a barbaric nation...
steal His Majesty's affection.
How nice of Imperial Consort Qing.
This is such a rare piece of blood jade.
The problem is,
I'm afraid she has another...
objective behind this.
The emperor has arrived!
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Greetings, mother.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Rise.
Sit down.
I heard...
you revoked Duke of Qin's military authority today.
You heard about it?
Don't you think it's a little hasty?
At first, I just wanted to test him.
Surprisingly, he's quite calm.
But, it's not a bad thing.
Now that he has no military authority,
he's like a toothless tiger.
What is there to be afraid of?
I'm just worried about him getting desperate.
If he didn't take action...
when he possessed military authority,
he wouldn't do it now.
You may rest assured, mother.
I know what I'm doing.
Is this an item you recently obtained?
This is...
a gift from your new consort, Imperial Consort Qing.
What do you think of it?
If it's a gift from Imperial Consort Qing,
of course it's a good thing.
Imperial Consort Qing is an unrivalled beauty.
Don't you find her captivating?
Mother, you know me.
I'm only concerned about the country.
I've no time for love.
That's the best.
Beauties attract disasters.
You must learn from history.
The war between Tian Ning and Western Qiu just ended not long ago...
and Chu Qing Ge came for diplomatic marriage.
I'd say it's quite suspicious.
Even though Tian Ning won,
our cavalry suffered severe losses.
If Western Qiu and Northern Li attack now,
we might not be in an advantageous situation.
As such,
getting into a diplomatic marriage...
with Western Qiu at this timing...
is the best choice.
I know that you are a good emperor.
I'd just like to remind you that...
the position of the supreme ruler is...
definitely tempting to those presented with opportunities...
and those ambitious ones.
I was the one...
who earned this position for you.
But, whether or not you can secure it...
depends solely on yourself.
Don't forget that...
there's still Duke of Qin coveting this position.
You are right, mother.
I still have matters to attend to.
I shall excuse myself.
Go.
A grown-up child will no longer listen to his mother.
But, I'm his mother.
If I don't plan for him,
who will plan for him?
His Majesty knows what to do.
I hope so.
Your Majesty.
Let me inform the princess of your arrival.
I wasn't aware of Your Majesty's arrival...
and failed to welcome you.
Please forgive me.
Rise at once.
I was the one who did not allow them to inform you.
You are not at fault.
I've long heard that...
the princess of Western Qiu loves to study the art of war.
Surprisingly, you are a great painter as well.
Is this a painting of Western Qiu?
Yes.
You must be homesick.
Of course not. I only arrived not long ago.
Besides, I've married over.
This place is my home now.
I merely painted this to kill time.
Your Majesty.
Are you here for some quiet time?
The Chief Minister of the Court of Judicial Review...
and two important officials...
were murdered one after another.
Have you heard about it?
I've heard a little.
In this case,
do you have any opinion?
I dare not comment on political matters.
This case concerns Duke of Qin.
It's considered a family affair.
You may comment.
I've long heard that Duke of Qin is intelligent and strong.
If he wants to kill someone,
he wouldn't...
use such a foolish method.
Are you saying that...
Duke of Qin is innocent?
Don't you think so too?
In fact, I believe...
Duke of Qin will do whatever it takes...
to prove his innocence...
and get out of this situation.
Do you have anything else to say?
What do you want me to say?
I know...
you won't trust me no matter what I say now.
But, the first time we met,
I was really there for the...
Shen You herb that can treat the skin ulcer on my face.
I took the manuscript...
because I really love to study poisonous herbs.
It wasn't until we got married...
that I learnt of your identity.
But, as you tried to kill me several times,
I didn't dare to tell you the truth.
I'm telling the truth now.
Please make a sound judgment.
You were missing for a day.
Where did you go?
In order to prove that I can be useful to you,
I went to the coffin home to investigate.
Investigate?
You must have forgotten...
who made me...
a suspect in this case.
What do you mean?
On the day of our wedding,
weren't you the one who lured me...
to the residence of the chief minister?
I was surrounded by so many people that day.
How did I split myself up?
Even if it wasn't you,
it might be your accomplice.
If that person is my accomplice,
why did she take the risk of getting exposed later on...
to lure you over?
And why would I put myself in danger...
and marry you?
Today, I found a clue to solve the case.
The victims...
were killed by the venom of the Spider Mosquitoes.
Today, I went to the coffin home to examine the corpses.
The murderer added herbal powder...
into the victims' food or fragrance.
When the smell spread, the venomous mosquitoes came...
and they were quietly killed.
Your Highness!
Your Highness, the imperial physicians...
Your Highness.
We received news from the imperial physicians.
The chief minister and his family...
were killed by venomous mosquitoes called the Spider Mosquitoes.
The murderer mixed a kind of powder that attracts the Spider Mosquitoes...
into the tea leaves and fragrance...
to attract the Spider Mosquitoes.
As the fragrance lasts a long time,
the scent we smelled today was the scent of this powder.
See?
Can you believe me now?
Maybe you betrayed your companion...
to protect yourself.
What if I can find the person who framed you?
I ran into a young lady on the street today.
She was carrying this poison powder.
Gentleman, I don't remember seeing you here before.
This must be your first time in Wan Yan Pavilion.
Our ladies can entertain you with all kinds of arts.
They are all beautiful and talented.
I can guarantee your satisfaction.
What expression is this?
Could it be that you are still...
Madam.
Actually...
you can go back to your work.
I'll tell you if I need anything.
Alright. Take your time to pick.
If you need anything, just tell me.
I have a question for you.
If you answer me,
this will be yours.
Who are the ladies you serve?
I serve the top courtesan, Ms. Yu Ze.
As she is the most famous courtesan of Wan Yan Pavilion,
the madam ordered me to serve her only.
Very good.
This lady...
This man before you...
has taken a liking to Ms. Yu Ze.
Thank you, gentleman.
Gentleman.
Are you done picking?
Which lady do you like?
I want Ms. Yu Ze.
Ms. Yu Ze?
I'm afraid you can't have Ms. Yu Ze.
If you let me meet Ms. Yu Ze,
this gold ingot...
will be yours.
This won't do.
Why?
Yu Ze is Wan Yan Pavilion's top courtesan.
She only serves important men she is familiar with.
You guys are discriminating.
Your Highness.
Should we arrest her now?
The powder alone...
can't prove that she's the one.
That day we fought,
I stabbed her in her shoulder.
I believe there's still a scar on her shoulder.
Let's investigate now.
No.
There's too many people in Wan Yan Pavilion at night.
It's difficult to take action.
Moreover,
it's inappropriate for the duke...
to enter a brothel.
We need to think of something.
Why are you in such a hurry?
Because he suspects me.
He'll only believe me if I help him to prove his innocence.
Why does it matter whether he believes you or not?
We're husband and wife.
-The two of you... -Enough.
Xi Feng.
Find out...
who are the influential men that frequent Wan Yan Pavilion.
Yes.
Nanny Zhao.
Good morning, Your Highness.
Where's the duke?
The prince went out...
to pick up Young Master Tang Li personally.
He's doing it personally?
Who is Tang Li?
Not bad.
You improved.
Of course.
I practice every single day.
I'll test your academic knowledge later.
Can you not? I just arrived.
Die, Tang Li!
Scoundrel!
Hey, you've whipped for so long.
Won't your arm ache?
No.
Look at this wooden stake.
You're about to sculpt a man out of it.
Even a wooden stake can be a man.
Even a wooden stake can have eyes.
But, Tang Li is blind.
Yes. He's blind.
Don't worry, my daughter.
I've sent men to look for him.
I'll definitely capture that brat...
and make sure he gives you a proper explanation.
Calm down.
I don't need his explanation.
I know the reason.
It's because I always bully him...
and he's embarrassed.
If you know, why did you still bully him?
I...
It's because...
I've been bullying him since we were little...
and I thought he's used to it.
I can't believe he's so bold now...
that he ran away from our marriage.
My dear.
Sometimes, worrying doesn't help.
Why don't you think of something...
or change your method?
Maybe things will change for the better.
Change my method?
Sister Ning Jing.
Tang Li really ran away.
He's nowhere to be found in the entire Yun Kong Academy.
Nowhere to be found?
He's a blockhead.
Where can he go?
If he's not in Yun Kong Academy,
he's very likely at Duke of Qin's residence.
Duke of Qin's residence?
He must have gone to find Brother Fei Ye.
That's possible.
Father, you're right.
I must change my soft attitude.
I need to take him back.
Jing Er.
Princess Qing Ge.
Why are you so flustered?
His Majesty fell ill.
The empress dowager and other imperial consorts...
all rushed to Wen De Palace.
If the empress dowager attends to it personally,
His Majesty must be severely ill.
Nanny, let's go.
Yes.
Sister.
How's His Majesty?
The imperial physician is still examining.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Please rest assured.
His Majesty is blessed.
He will be fine.
Imperial Physician Han, how's His Majesty?
Your Highness.
His Majesty...
What is His Majesty suffering from?
His Majesty is suffering from smallpox.
Don't worry, Your Highness.
I'm sure Imperial Physician Han can treat His Majesty.
Your Highness.
There's nothing I can do about it.
Now, I can only try my best...
-and leave the rest to fate. -How absurd!
You are the chief of the Imperial Medical Institution.
The court doesn't pay you to hear you say...
you'll do your best and leave the rest to fate!
If anything bad happens to His Majesty,
I'll exterminate your family!
Please calm down, Your Highness.
Of course I will do my best to treat His Majesty.
However, His Majesty is in critical condition.
I must inform Your Highness of the worst outcome in advance.
After all, this matter concerns the fate of Tian Ning.
How confident are you?
Your Highness.
This illness is extremely contagious.
Most importantly for now,
Your Highness and the other imperial consorts...
should all be quarantined.
I can't leave His Majesty to the servants alone.
Who is willing to stay and look after His Majesty?
What's the matter?
Are all of you mute?
Your Highness.
I'm willing to stay and look after His Majesty.
Imperial Consort Qing.
Are you really willing to stay and look after His Majesty?
Yes, Your Highness.
Good girl.
I'll be troubling you.
Once His Majesty regains consciousness,
I'll reward you generously.
I don't need any reward.
I only wish for His Majesty's recovery.
His Majesty is my sky.
If my sky tumbles,
I have no reason to live.
All of you normally...
try so hard to get close to His Majesty.
Why are you all suddenly so cowardly today?
Noble Consort Xiao.
I can't believe this is how you repay His Majesty.
You're such a letdown.
No one is allowed to say a word about His Majesty's condition.
Whoever lets the word get out...
will be subjected to familial extermination.
Yes, Your Highness.
Listen carefully.
From now on, whenever you enter the inner palace,
you must first wash your hands and face...
with the special medicinal powder.
After returning to your room,
soak the clothes you wore...
in water mixed with the special medicinal powder.
You all must be cautious.
Once the disease spreads,
the consequence will be extremely serious.
Go back in.
Yes, Imperial Physician Han.
Princess Qing Ge.
Imperial Physician Han just briefed us on some preventive measures.
He said that smallpox is contagious.
You must be careful.
Nanny.
Haven't you noticed that something isn't right?
If there are rashes on His Majesty's body,
how come there wasn't any symptom prior to this?
Even though the empress dowager appeared very angry,
she did not look very sad.
Her son she relies on is about to die.
The crown prince is incompetent...
and Duke of Qin is posing a threat.
No matter how calm of a person she is,
she should panic.
Also,
there is no source of infection around His Majesty.
He's the only one suffering from smallpox.
Isn't it too suspicious?
