Song of Phoenix (思美人)

Song of Phoenix

Episode 59

The peak that a grand ambition reaches, love how the white clouds floats freely in the sky. - Sorrowful Returning Wind from Nine Chapters

The Imperial Harem has evil spirits.

Where?

It seems to be coming from the southwestern corner of the palace, at a very vast area.

South west direction?

Isn't that River Algae Palace?

Queen Dowager, Consort Ying is from the State of Qin!

With the recent Qin and Chu war, could it be the unrest souls are surrounding River Algae--

Stop talking.

Currently, the grieving spirits emitted are quite strong so it must have something to do with the person living in there.

If we just ignore it and let it be, a bigger disaster might happen.

Then since you know it's from River Algae Palace,

is there a way to break it?

There is a way. But...

But what?

Perhaps Consort Ying will have to suffer a little.

Right now, the situation is a bit dangerous.

Maybe we can try to organize an offering ceremony for the Heaven.

Offering to the Heaven?

Royal Mother, you said that we must organize and offering ceremony to the Heaven?

I haven't been sleeping well lately.

Ever since the Great Shaman of Chu spoke,

I woke up from nightmares every day.

It's just that letting the consorts of the inner palace to do an offering ceremony to the Heaven,

won't that sound absurd when people learn of it?

I wasn't the one that said that.

It was the Great Shaman of Chu.

But, that's true.

I also find River Algae Palace a little strange.

Despite being summer, it feels cold when you go inside it.

Besides, that Consort Ying.

She never associates with the rest of you and just holds that rabbit,

living not as a ghost or a human.

I wouldn't believe you if you said there were no problems with her.

Yes. Since you have decided, I will go arrange for it right now.

It's just...should we tell Consort Ying ahead of time?

There's no need. This is an order.

She must obey.

After everything is ready,

I will personally go to find her.

Yes.

Greetings, Queen Dowager.

Greetings, Great Shaman of Chu.

Consort Ying, we are now going to the nine level stage for an offering ceremony to the Heaven

to remove the evil spirits surrounding your body. Please come with us.

Evil spirits? What do you mean?

You don't need to care too much. Just come along.

I won't go! Why should I go?

You have no choice!

Queen Dowager. Queen Dowager, you cannot be like this! I won't go!

The earlier you do the offering ceremony, the earlier I will be at ease.

Great Shaman of Chu, you must do your best for today.

You must totally eliminate the evil spirits surrounding Consort Ying

and ease my heart.

Do not worry, Queen Dowager.

I will definitely do my best.

Big Sister, don't be afraid.

Big Sister, there's no time. Hurry and go.

If you don't go now, you'll be discovered.

Then what about you?

You don't need to worry about me. I will have my ways.

Mo Chou, if I can reach Xianyang,

I will be forever grateful to you.

Big Sister Ying, getting to meet you

is the happiest thing to happen in my life.

Alright. Hurry and go.

Hurry and go!

Be careful on the road.

-Stop! -Stop!

Big Sister!

Princess!

-Great Shaman of Chu! -Yun Niang.

I've never really supported the Princess leaving,

but I am willing to give up my life to go with her.

If the Princess won't fight for herself one more time,

she won't have another chance!

So I beg you, you must succeed!

The Princess cannot take more disappointment!

Hurry and get up.

It looks like there will be a good show to watch now.

Your Majesty!

Great Shaman of Chu, you are very daring!

Take them back!

Yes!

Your Majesty, the Great Shaman of Chu dared to openly trick you

and trick the Queen Dowager and all of us!

Then it means that the evil spirits she was talking about are just made up things!

Great Shaman of Chu really wants chaos to happen in this world.

Your Majesty, I don't know what is going on,

but according to what I know about her,

if there was no special reason, the Great Shaman wouldn't do something so ridiculous.

Please investigate, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, no matter what, the Great Shaman has earned great merit for us.

Your Majesty, please look upon her past merit

and spare the Great Shaman of Chu!

What a joke! It is the crime of lying to the king!

How can there still be any pardon based on past relations?

Your Majesty, ever since the Great Shaman of Chu was appointed,

the country's state has been in turbulence.

Your Majesty was benevolent and kept sparing her before. We all didn't say much more about it.

But now, she dares to trick the king, the Queen Dowager, and Southern Queen!

Even all the lords of the court!

She's trying to control the entire court with her own hands!

I agree with Lord Jing!

The rules are the rules.

Guilty royalty are as guilty as commoners committing the same crime.

Can she be spared because she is the Great Shaman?

I ask Your Majesty to hurry and deal with the Great Shaman of Chu,

and enforce the country's rules.

Please deal with the Great Shaman of Chu!

Your Majesty, I only hope that you can investigate this case!

Take the Great Shaman of Chu and Consort Ying,

and put them in prison!

She actually dared to fool me?! She's really getting unruly!

Queen Mother, don't be angry, don't be angry!

Isn't that right?

She even dares to trick the Queen Dowager!

She put on such a big act in the harem too!

Is she trying to make us all fools?

She didn't just lie to me.

She even wrongly used the power of the Great Shaman of Chu!

If the king wasn't intelligent and discovered her plan early,

Consort Ying would have escaped! If this gets out,

we would have been made a complete joke!

Perhaps, Consort Ying begged the Great Shaman of Chu to do it.

Little Sister Tian, it's just one Consort Ying.

She has come to the Palace of Chu for so many years.

She usually doesn't even dare to speak a word.

She wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

Queen Dowager, that Great Shaman of Chu must have influenced her.

This matter cannot be treated lightly.

We must eliminate her so the government and the inner palace can be at peace.

Enough, enough. There's no need to keep talking.

Stop talking! Queen Mother will harm her health from her anger!

All of you go back.

Yes.

I trusted her so much!

Yet...I fell into her trap!

Queen Dowager, do you really want to kill her?

If I don't kill her,

it will be hard to ease my hatred!

Please be calm, Queen Dowager. It's easy to punish Consort Ying,

but the Great Shaman of Chu

cannot be touched!

Princess. I'm afraid this time,

it will be hard for us to escape again!

This is fate.

What I'm worried about now is Little Sister Mo Chou.

She tricked the king for me.

She incited the king's great anger. I'm afraid nothing good will happen.

Vice Chancellor Qu, you are...?

I want to see the king.

The king has ordered that he won't see anyone.

The king once said that no matter what it is for, I can come see him.

Vice Chancellor Qu, please do not make things hard on us.

It's an emergency! Let me in!

You-!

Vice Chancellor Qu, if you insist on being like this, don't blame us for not being courteous!

Let go of me! Let go of me! I want to see the king!

It's an emergency! Let go of me!

Stop!

Vice Chancellor Qu, the king invites you in.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

I just knew that as long as she is in trouble,

the first to appear will definitely be you.

Your Majesty, I did come for the Great Shaman of Chu,

but I must first defend Consort Ying.

A person from the State of Qin

repeatedly gains your defense?

Just why?

Your Majesty, did you know? Qin and Chu have been at war for years.

As a girl from Qin, Consort Ying

has been trapped between the two states.

She then became an object where you all vent your anger to.

So? The Great Shaman of Chu should trick everyone,

and save her even if she becomes guilty of tricking the king?

If I don't punish her this time,

how can I stop those criticisms?!

Your Majesty, please think again!

You can't bear to?

I do not dare.

Mo Cho used to be my concubine, and is now the Great Shaman of Chu.

Even I dare to do it. Why can't you?

-What? You have nothing to say now? -Your Majesty!

Enough! Stop pleading!

In the past, no matter what you said, I'd believe it.

But this time, I don't want to hear it.

Leave!

Vice Chancellor Qu, please leave.

I take my leave.

Zhao Manor

Say that again?

Father, please save the Great Shaman of Chu.

What do you take me as?

Father, the situation now is very serious.

Last time, she wasn't killed because you spoke on her behalf in front of the Queen Dowager.

This time, I beg you to save her one more time!
