Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (Legend of Ruyi / Hou Gong Ruyi Zhuan / 如懿传)

Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Episode 8

Greetings, Sister Consort Xian.

With such chilly weather, why did you come?

I initially planned to go visit First Class Attendant Hai.

I heard from Yexin that she's still sleeping, so I came to visit you first.

With that commotion last night, everyone heard it,

but none was willing to go out and uphold justice.

Fortune and misfortune go together. Good thing, First Class Attendant Hai has moved out of Xianfu Palace.

It can be said that her suffering didn't go in vain.

It's just that Sister Consort Xianfu,

why go through the trouble to offend that Xianfu Palace?

Hai Lan was being treated unfairly. I couldn't bear to watch.

Hai Lan was indeed accused wrongly.

But if this case was investigated further, everyone will look bad.

Hence, His Majesty still gave Noble Consort steps to go down to.

But look at you, dizzy and having stuffed nose.

You should light more brain arousing Tibetan incense.

This agarwood scent is too light and it's so dark.

In the whole palace, only you like to use them.

I just love the scent of agarwood.

Agarwood is like a setting stone.

If our heart can just be a bit like a submerging agarwoood,

you won't get afraid no matter how chaotic it is outside.

I'll make it lighter then.

Mistress, Noble Lady Jia is here to see you.

Your Highness Noble Consort, I brought you high quality mountain ginseng from our Yu clan.

It's good for nourishing your health.

Thank you, Noble Lady Jia.

Come over here to sit.

Thank you, Your Highness Noble Consort.

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?

Whenever I remember what happened last night,

I get so mad.

I was thinking of coming over yesterday to join in the fun,

to look at how embarrassing First Class Attendant Hai is. Later on, I heard that His Majesty came.

I then didn't dare to go anymore.

But going back to it, how come His Majesty didn't side with you?

He cared about me,

that's why, he kicked that Hai Lan out of here.

But that bitch was let off too lightly. She now get to be with that Consort Xian.

Your Highness Noble Consort, you just shot yourself in the foot.

Empress is virtuous. Even if she's on your side, she won't openly help you.

Just drop it. It's just one First Class Attendant and the days are still long.

Are you afraid that you won't be able to eventually deal with her?

But your cold illness, is it serious?

A bit of cold illness isn't really a big deal.

But being unable to vent this anger,

plus His Majesty not allowing me to serve him for 3 months,

thinking all these is making my chest painful.

You've beaten up First Class Attendant Hai and tormented Consort Xian. That's already venting your anger.

Why still feel stuffed in the chest?

You even are laughing at me!

Isn't this all your idea?!

Your Highness Imperial Concubine Chun. Mistress, First Class Attendant is awake and her fever is gone.

- Let's go over and check her. - Okay.

Mistress Chun, I fear that First Class Attendant Hai doesn't want to see anyone.

At broad daylight, she had the curtains pulled and hid under her blanket, not moving at all.

I'll just visit her once she's better.

That's good too.

Sister, I won't disturb you anymore.

Okay.

Walk slowly on your way back.

I will take my leave.

Let's go look at Hai Lan.

I feel that it's not enough to let Yexin be the only one to serve her.

I can't dare use the people sent by the Inner Palace.

We can't have another Xiangyun.

Mistress, don't worry. I've already sent Zezhi to her place.

That servant is very honest. She's an old maid of ours.

What's the use of just being concerned of other people's matter? Mistress,

if you ask me, Xiangyun usually was very quiet.

After getting bribed, she immediately could open her mouth and bite her mistress.

Our palace mustn't have such kind of person.

In our palace, other than you 2 and Sanbao,

you must continue to be vigilant of the others.

Of course. I will be meticulous in observing them.

Mistress, I've brought you your medicine.

Quickly drink it.

It's me, Hai Lan.

Sister, why must they do that?

I feel so embarrassed to see anyone now.

Things have come to past.

No, it hasn't.

Whenever I close my eyes,

I can see so many eyes looking at me.

They are looking at me barefooted and being punished.

They are watching me getting falsely accused of stealing.

They watched my clothes getting stripped open.

So many servants,

all looking at me.

Hai Lan.

Hai Lan, we're currently in the imperial harem.

As the day passes, we must become more sensible.

But I don't understand anymore.

Why must they be like this?

For people living in the palace, what haven't they endured?

What tricks can they not employ?

Last night , when I got splashed by that cold water, I was so mad.

But what's the use of getting mad?

Everyone thinks that I suffered grievances in Xianfu Palace.

The more then that I won't feel aggrieved.

For things that is hard to endure,

bite your teeth, smile, and just endure for a while, then think of a way after.

If you give it too much importance,

others will just treat you as a joke.

If you cheer yourself up and be indifferent about it,

no one can do anything to you.

I can't do it.

I can't do it, Sister.

Mistress.

His Majesty asks that you immediately see him in Yangxin Palace Hall.

Last night, you suffered a lot.

His Majesty must be calling you to go to Yangxin Palace Hall so he can comfort you.

Did he give any reason?

The eunuch that came to promulgate the decree seems to be new on the job.

He just said that there's an urgent matter and that you should hurry.

I got it.

Hai Lan, I already told you what should be said.

I was able to save you last night,

but I may not be able to do it every time.

Think about it.

Serve First Class Attendant Hai to drink her medicine.

Yes.

Li Yu, what's wrong?

Mistress Xian.

I committed a mistake, so I got punished.

How come you're being punished this gravely?

These broken bricks are very painful.

What's going on?

Mistress Xian, don't ask anymore.

I am just being punished by my Teacher.

Mistress Xian, quickly go in. It's too cold out here.

After kneeling, come to Yanxi Palace.

I'll tell Suoxin to prepare some medicines.

Your Highness Consort Xian, you're here.

Quickly go in. How come you're talking with a servant out here?

How come Li Yu is kneeling there?

He? When he was serving His Majesty,

the tea he served was a bit too hot and it burned His Majesty's tongue a little.

Shouldn't he be punished?

Your Highness Consort Xian, let's just go inside.

Don't bother yourself with matters about servants anymore.

Please.

You said it right. All are servants. Who is different from who?

Your Majesty and Your Highness Empress, Her Highness Consort Xian is here.

Greetings, Your Majesty and Your Highness Empress.

Rise.

Thank you, Your Highness Empress.

Quickly sit down.

Consort Xian, after last night's matter, are you and First Class Attendant Hai both well?

Your Majesty, I'm fine. It's just that First Class Attendant Hai got frightened badly.

The wound on her feet must be tended closely.

Since she's now in your palace, try to provide more care and tell her to be more at ease.

Stop thinking about the past.

I will take good care of First Class Attendant Hai.

Empress, please talk.

Second Class Attendant has been refusing to see you for 5 to 6 days now.

After lunch today, Second Class Attendant went to see me and asked me to look at her face.

I'm unable to make any conclusion,

hence, I can only take her here to see you.

Sulian, go ask Second Class Attendant Mei to come here.

Let her say her grievances by herself.

Your Majesty, this Second Class Attendant Mei kept crying.

I was thinking that when Second Class Attendant Mei got slapped,

Consort Xian personally saw it and even escorted her back to Yonghe Palace.

Hence, I asked His Majesty to urgently call for you to come here.

May Your Majesty look at her face first.

Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Highness Empress, and Consort Xian.

- Rise. - Thank you, Your Majesty.

What's going on? You just got slapped a few times.

It should have healed already.

How come it's getting worse?

That surely wasn't a result of the slapping her face.

It must be that she used the wrong medication or that she didn't watch what she's eating.

I love my beauty so much and can't dare to destroy it

for it might anger Your Majesty.

It's my fault for offending Noble Consort.

I also endured getting hit by her.

It's just that I've already been eating light and bland food, and applying the medicines on time.

But...my face keeps getting worse.

I'm panicking and very scared, and couldn't dare to see you.

I can only go to Her Highness Empress to vent my complaints.

I already asked the people attending to Second Class Attendant Mei, and they all said that she was very careful in her food.

Even for water, she especially used barley water that has anti-swelling effect.

What medicine did you use?

I got it from the Bureau of Imperial Physician. They said that after slapping me, Noble Consort was willing to patch up our quarrel.

Hence, she especially had that drug delivered to express her apology.

Did you bring the medicine with you?

Replying to Your Majesty and Your Highness Empress,

I got this medicine from the Bureau of Imperial Physcian.

I was also there that day. For a harmonious relationship between the six palaces,

I urged Noble Consort to deliver some medicines to Second Class Attendant Mei.

It's also me who asked Sulian to get the medicines under the name of Noble Consort.

- Wang Qin. - I'm here.

Qi Ru earlier has checked my safety channels. Is he still around?
