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 16

Lianxin, now there's no one else.

Say what you want to say.

Your Majesty, Empress actually meant well originally.

She wanted me to have a pair for the rest of my life.

So she granted me to Wang Qin as wife.

But who would have known that Wang Qin is less than a beast.

Each time after he eats that medicine, he beats me and ridicules me and shames me.

Wang Qin does that,

but why didn't you tell Empress to give you justice.

With what shame do I tell others about this?

And I didn't wish to bring dirt to Empress.

Wang Qin said,

if I dare to leak a word to the outside,

he will make my life worse than dead.

Your Majesty, Wang Qin is shameless.

He is an ingrate against you and Empress's grace.

But why today?

Today, Wang Qin wasn't on duty.

He started to take medicine as soon as he returned to salon.

I saw him like that from outside the window.

I was too scared to go back.

Wang Qin was probably because the medicine took effect and he couldn't find me.

So he became crazed and ran out.

Wang Qin is despicable.

Your Majesty, you must reclaim my fairness.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, Jin Zhong went to search Eunuch Wang's room,

and found a box of pills.

Take it to Physician Qi to see.

This is pleasure pill.

Your Majesty, since Eunuch Wang got married,

he's been bragging about having a wife before us nonstop.

It was actually because of such filthy things.

Your Majesty, you must shut off Wang Qin's mouth.

Don't allow him to speak of words to taint me when he's awake.

I never want to see that cheap servant in the palace.

Your Majesty, you must find justice for me.

To get rid of this sham.

Li Yu, have someone take hemp core and block Wang Qin's mouth,

and break one of his legs, chase him out of the palace to live as a beggar.

Yes.

Your Majesty!

Alright. I've dealt with Wang Qin now.

You stop crying now.

That wretch Wang Qin deserves more than death.

You only break one of his leg and that's too easy on him.

Noble Consort, you were startled tonight. Go rest up.

- Your Majesty! - Go now.

Yes.

Your Majesty, Wang Qin is at grave fault in this.

Lianxin was only an innocent victim.

May you remember her service to Empress for many years.

And spare her from punishment.

Get up first.

I won't seek blame from Lianxin.

Lianxin, I nullify you and Wang Qin's marriage as of today.

If you want to leave the palace to visit your family, I approve.

If I leave the palace, my siblings have no one to depend on.

Their lives aren't easy.

I would rather stay at Changchun Palace to serve.

You don't blame Empress?

Empress never knew what Wang Qin was like.

I don't blame her.

Fine then.

Go now.

Your Majesty, there's another matter.

Tell me.

I know the rumors about Lady Mei

clearly weren't spread by Consort Xian.

And it was that day when Wang Qin took medicine and got drunk and spoke of it nonsensically.

But it was because I was tortured by Wang Qin,

and my siblings were being threatened so I never dared to speak.

May you forgive me, Your Majesty. May you forgive me, Your Highness.

What you said is all true?

It's all true. May you forgive me.

May you forgive me.

It was Wang Qin?

Then why did the palace men say it came out of Yanxi Palace?

Yanxi Palace is a place Wang Qin must pass by on his way to our salon.

That night he was drunk and laid by the road outside Yanxi Palace and spoke nonsense.

It was me who dragged him back.

It was because of that and others heard,

they thought it came out of Yanxi Palace.

Wang Qin realized he spoke nonsense when he woke up and blamed it on Yanxi Palace.

He blamed it on Consort Xian.

What you said is all true?

I don't dare to speak nonsense.

Not many know of this incident.

You, nor Empress would tell me.

I never had any dealings with Yanxi Palace either.

If it weren't for Wang Qin blabbering and I found out,

who else would have told me?

- Li Yu. - I'm here.

The hemp core in Wang Qin's mouth is not to be removed even in death.

Let him never speak recklessly again.

Your Majesty, wasn't it to punish

by breaking one of his legs? To put him to death --

Let all the eunuchs of the palace gather by punishment bureau.

And watch how Wang Qin dies.

Let's see who else is not afraid of death and taints the harem.

Yes.

You fool. It wasn't you.

But you consent to confining yourself to Yanxi Palace.

My heart aches.

Your Majesty, you needn't have heart ache.

In order to spare you from being in a difficult predicament in the harem,

and because you are always faring for me thoroughly,

no matter how much rumors,

I am willing to endure.

I've never truly suspected you.

The attachment between you and me.

No one in the harem can compare to you.

You were compromised.

The starts spread out everywhere tonight is such a sight.

Jiangnan's scenery is what I want to see the most.

In the future, I will take you to go see the soft blue of the sky and the green of the river.

Peach blossoms raining down.

The place I like will surely contain you.

As long as I can be with you,

no matter where I go, it will all be divine.

I will kill you, you ingrate.

Am I not nice to you usually?

Last night, why did no one come to help?

He's the deputy chief eunuch. I don't dare.

It's all my fault. Kill me.

He's the deputy chief and you guys don't care then?

You won't come?

I was outside the door.

That kind of shame I endured.

Everyone saw it.

All laughing at my expense.

You are a bunch of ingrate.

How do you allow me to face His Majesty in the future?

How do I face His Majesty?

A bunch of useless things.

Get lost you all!

Get lost!

Yes.

That bastard Wang Qin must die.

Yes, he must die.

- He must die. - Yes, he must die.

His Majesty granted a hemp core in his mouth not to be removed even in death.

He already died last night.

Good he died.

He died and he won't bother us anymore.

Yes.

Wang Qin won't spill anything, right?

His family is on the outskirts. Lord Gao is there.

He's afraid to drag his family into this. He won't talk.

Is that so?

It's none of our business then.

I'm not happy with Concubine Ruyi.

Who gives her the right to raise the First Prince instead of me?!

I wanted to adopt him first.

His Majesty takes side with her.

He's biased in letting her adopt him.

That's why, I was forced to think of this solution

to pull Concubine Ruyi down and take back the adoption rights of First Prince.

In the end, this is what happened.

I don't have a child.

If I had a child,

I wouldn't have lost His Majesty's favor.

If His Majesty sees that I have a child,

he wouldn't ignore me too.

Noble Consort is making trouble out of nothing

and insisted on going to Yanxi Palace.

That's how you were knocked down by Wang Qin.

No wonder His Majesty was angry and kept his distance from you.

With one look, he saw his beloved Consort

being humiliated by an eunuch

and had her clothes messed up. Wouldn't he be angry?

But, Your Highness, you may not know.

His Majesty was not only angry with Noble Consort over this.

About the birth of Honorable Mei,

the rumor came from Noble Consort.

Wang Qin has always been in control of the Noble Consort.

It's hard to say that he didn't know.

It's not the first time that Noble Consort has framed Concubine Ruyi because of First Prince.

Frankly, with her under your care, why must she insist on fighting for First Prince?

I think she's cruel

to let that obnoxious Wang Qin

harass Lianxin.

I think we really can't control her.

Lianxin is very pitiful.

It's a pity that she couldn't control Wang Qin.

We have wasted a good pawn.

She is now with His Majesty's Li Yu.

If we want to find out what's on His Majesty's mind, it will be extremely difficult now.

I made a mistake regarding Lianxin

but for the time being, we can't let her leave here.

In case, she tells His Majesty about us using her to control Wang Qin

to find out what's on His Majesty's mind.

His Majesty absolutely hates others spying on him.

I was thinking. Even if Lianxin leaves the palace,

her younger brother and sister are in our hands. We are not afraid that she will talk.
