The one good thing Yanwen did in this scene is enforce what Ruyi said to him earlier about the harem and how Ruyi was so loyal to him but he was so disloyal and disrespectful to Ruyi. She made him see that others were able to see how sincere and loyal Ruyi was to him and that they all could see how he mistreated her and allowed her to be compromised by the scheming of women who were never sincere in their feelings towards him.
@@janetporteous6506 he slapped Yanwen for killing several of his children, trying to get pregnant by another man so that she can claim it was his, and trying to fake a royal decree document to state her son would be his successor so she can become empress dowager at the top of the list of things she did.

@@Jolie702 its true they are poor people inside being shown as gods is an image but they are all prisoners to the palace in every dynasty. That is why puyi was happy at the latter half of his life as he didn't suffer being confined for his entire life.
Yes, I was thinking he should have bowed in front of those flags himself, as well. The indictments were against him, too. Ruyi got punished for all these people, and he was the one who did it on the flimsiest of evidence.
I love how Hailan developed. She was a timid, peaceful dove that developed in to a tigress! Adept at psychological tactics and intrigue but always remaining forthright!
@@viranakhairunnisaa5127 at that point, Ling had the Emperor wrapped around her finger. Unfortunately, if LYC had lived, Ruyi would have been done for. It was to protect Ruyi. However, I don’t think that either Ruyi or the audience are expected to fully forgive Hailan for adopting the ruthlessness of palace/harem politics. She did what she had to do, and Ruyi loved Hailan very much, but I don’t think that there was ever a full forgiveness.
The sad thing is Ruyi never wanted to be the Empress her heart was not there. She only wanted to accompany her husband on his journey as Emperor. This is what she told Empress Dowager her mother in-law. The sad thing is all the women who did want the seat as the Empress didn’t know that the first Empress placed a curse on the throne for anyone who succeeded or tried to succeed after her death, she said that she would be watching from the other side. Also Consort Ling was poisoned to death as a symbol of how poisonous she was. Au’ro met the same fate being poisoned and then muted because she also wanted the Empress seat... but he told the first Empress that “Empress “ was just a title and position. Maybe that’s why he never made anyone Emperess after that. Consort Rong from the beginning told him that she didn’t love him. I guess he had to hear it from someone who was up close and personal she mirrored the Emperor. The Emperess Dowager told Ruyi that the person the most cruel and not to be trusted is the Emperor.
A'ruo wasn't posioned, she was made mute with a medicine that basically painfully disintegrated her vocal cords and was banished to the cold palace where she hung herself days later
@ L xx please go back to the episode where she the first Empress nearly drowned on the boat🛥 as she confessed everything to the Emperor’s face he told her how he truly felt and as she’s dying that’s when she curses her next throne successor.
"The one in Yikun Palace is sincere to you but she still cut her hair and got locked up by you." Even Yanwan knows Ruyi is sincere to the Emperor but the emperor fails to see it.
He didn't fail to see it. The difference between Consort Ling and Empress Ruyi was that Ruyi would not cater to his Ego and would tell him when he was wrong, whereas Consort Ling would go along with his schemes and wishes whether he was right or wrong. That's why he punished Ruyi so much because she made him see what he was doing wrong and he didn't like it.
The very thing i love about Lady Ling is her bluntly telling the King how scarce d people who r sincere to him and how he punished one of the few sincere people, Ruyi.
Yea pretty sad he pushed away the one person from the harem who truly served him and was honest. I guess if you were a woman it was better to be a a back stabber as long as you do not get caught compared to an honest person who occasionally argues with your choices back then.
I like her too Tina! She the investigator! But I didn’t like the way Ruyi treated her about not telling her she was sick in ling dying !and she was a good sister and friend to her too not tell her she was dying! That emperor had two powerful woman by his side in corner and he treated them bad for them young rats! He liked pretty faces and freaks like ling Ruyi been telling that fool about her a long time!
@@ellasatterwhite9168 that’s not bc she excluded her. Ruyi want to leave this world with no traces left behind. She don’t want anything but to be freed from the cruel fate she is in. The only one she felt regret leaving was her son, that’s why she left him and only him a letter. If she leave anymore traces behind, she will never be freed. That’s why the emperor later understand her wants and erases Ruyi from history so she can be freed and enjoy peace in the underworld.
Basically, all protagonists and antagonists said the same thing about the Emperor. They obey him, but not sincerely. The message was delivered clearly by Consort Ling. The most honest message from an evil woman.
Something I came to realize after watching this many times. Notice how the Empress Dowager answers to Ling at 10:20 about how she wouldn't dare to harm people? This answer gets extra dimension, when we remember how Zhen Huan covered up Ling's involvement in Consort Shu's death and health problems, alongside with the whole issue with the 10th Prince. In a way, I believe the Dowager might feel guilty, because had she stepped in at the time and let Ling face consequences and many people would have been spared. I mean, the Dowager saves her ass/face after murdering two people and Ling still dares to pretend she is innocent?
I still hate sooo much how ruyi had to deal with all this shit and all she wanted was to live a peaceful life and support the emperor. She never cared for power.

The messed up part is in the beginning Ruyi tried to help Yahwan even though she mistreated Ruyi's friend. Some how Yahwan sought to make Ruyi her enemy and tried to destroy everything she loved. I hate that her son became the emperor because she kind of succeeded in her evil plots. Yet, I could watch this scene over and over. Also the emperor was so stupid.
Thank you for the information. I really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the film for the drama added to it. It also let's me know I would not have survived that period. I would have lost my head the first day😄
One of the only reasons why Wei's kid became emperor is because he's the only one that survived in this show's logic. Don't remember if the real dude had living brothers or sisters.
Yei wen was spitting facts tho. He did raise her and turn blind eyes when he knew what was going on in his harem. All the loses if Royal children he had a invisible hand in each one.
for those of you who forget all the ones she murdered: 5th princess jingsi (Ruyi's only daughter) 6th princess (consort Ying's daughter) 10th prince (consort Shu's son) 13th prince Yongjing (Ruyi's son) 5th prince Yongqi, Tian Yun'er, (Yongqi's lover, nanny Tian's Daughter) nanny Tian (the one who cause 13th prince Yongjing's death) Zhaqi, (consort Yu's nephew) Ling Yunche, Zhao jiu xiao (Ling Yunche's best friend) consort Shu, (the one who suicide after knowing that emperor was giving her birth control soup) Lancui, (her maid) Jin Zhong, (her eunuch) HER OWN MOTHER and RUYI's MOTHER!!! Fuguar (the watchdog of Noble Consort Jia) Maybe a few more, feel free to add them below
Imperial concubine shu jia(consort ling is the one who kill 5th and 6th princess and framing to imperial concubine shu jia) 8th Prince(imperial concubine shu jia son) because he broke his leg when riding horse. Zhao jiu xiao, Ling yun che's best friend
i also love the looks on everyones' faces as well. Hailan looks like she's about to throw up and cry, the empress dowager looks dead faced after knowing the truth from Ruyi, even consort Ling doesnt realize how many people she killed until she counts all the flags. and then there's the emperor, who has tears in his eyes and has the look of, 'why does everything bad happen to me, everything i like turns out to be wrong'
It turned out wrong because this man wasn't sincere he did a lot of this evil stuff too this man was not sincere to anybody but to himself he made itself for God and there's no man on this point that is bigger than the god that we know no man God will bring you down when you get above yourself just like he did the angel most beautiful angel which is Satan now because he would want to send himself above God who are we
😡 Ruyi tried numerous times to tell him what this evil vicious, and deadly woman did... but as usual he did not believe her and looked down upon her as malicious.
He didn't want to stop her, he was constantly using her to antagonize and act petty towards Ruyi. He said so himself on the boat when him and Ruyi were arguing on the boat that he rewards her(Consort Ling)because she allows him to be free (do stupid stuff ) and she encourages it which means she pandas to his Ego.
Hailan is a badass queen. She’s more ruthless than Ruyi (Ruyi can be too softhearted at times) and she’s much more intelligent and politically savvy than the other consorts/concubines, including Wei Yanwan.
It's more than that than 15 like some of them she really did damage they all did damage to the people that they killed but the ones that did die before this and they on the way they pay the price for what they did no comma goes Unturned people need to know this when you do wrong you pay a price for it just like anything on this Earth there's a price to pay for everything when you do evil
@@filipaneto6876 But that is how he always was. The more you loved him, the less he trusted you. The first Empress loved him, and was jealous of Ruyi because the Emperor loved her. He didn't love the first Empress, yet rug-swept all her evil deeds, although he knew what she had done. The Han princess hated him; he doted on her. Ruyi loved him sincerely, he put her through Hell and back. Yet, when she cut her hair, he had respect for her. Then he was the one who loved and she was indifferent.
I think of all the c drama villain gets karma moments I've watched so far.. this still just might be my all time favorite. I mean Ling is someone taking a consistent L for about 30 minutes, that banner scene alone was just everything to me. Ruyi you did THAT sis. Justice finally was served!
Whether or not Ruyi loved the emperor truly, the fact she tried her best to rule the court while her husband was a prick shows that, at least in this story's case, she was trying her best to be fair and just for those that need healing and those that needed to be punished. This was her last act as 'Empress'. To punish the woman that wrong her and to punish the emperor that nearly used and almost emotionally abused her.
@@kindallnight1615 Genocide comes from Greek and it means "total annihilation of a nation". It's not a new concept at all. You can find the practice even in the Bible e.g. in the Book of Esther where the stake was the extermination of all the Jews in the Persian Empire. Historically, Qianlong knew very well what he was doing when he killed off entire nations (e.g. the Dzungars). His 2nd wife, Empress Nara (aka Ruyi) was a devout Buddhist who eventually even wanted to become a nun and who was respected by the ministers even in death. It's very likely that due to her character and religious beliefs, she didnt approve of his killings or promiscuous ways. Hence why she chose to relinquish her Empress title by cutting her hair.
The emperor.. he still name her son emperor and her empress post- humously. Like what the -k??!??? Just wrong.. like giving her everything she wanted. Success. I don’t get that. This bastard.
Kate Li Historians say that Ruyi’s last wish was “make her only surviving child free.” The Emperor had to grant the wish of a dead. Ling’s son assumed the throne but not fully in control. His reign was the down fall of the mighty Qing Dynasty.
@@kateli1880 There were only a few princes who were able to ascend aty that point in time, many of his sons had died or were not good enough to be his successor. He chose his best candidate numerous years in advance and abdicated early to guide him before he died.
@@m.c.2775 Yongyan didn’t cause the downfall it was the emperor himself who caused it. Stop hating on Consort Ling and her children because of the storyline of this particular drama.
When the flags were shown and one has the name of Ling Yunche I cried, they were so cruel to him, he didn't deserve to suffer so much. 😭 Best punishement ever and she deserved everything. F... bitch, she was so ruthless and awful.
It was not enough; she deserve so much pain, so much suffering and torture for every single life she took...... well, am not satisfied really. The only thing that satisfies me is her words to the damn emperor about Ruyi
All because of the emperor he did some of them killings too she didn't do a lot of it by herself Queen Mother some of the other women they all had a hand and all of this she just ended up getting the Buddy and of everything
I am really interested in the woman who is the emperor's chief investigator, carrying out torture and administering punishment. It seems a very responsible and important position and it is interesting that a woman holds it.
@Vico SDL No, she meant that elderly woman Yuhu who used to investigate crimes: she sorted out circumstancee of the death of the 1st Impress, she reported Cold Palace news to the Imperor (where Ruyi was imprisoned), and now she accompanied Consort Ling. Interesting position for the woman🤔- could it be real in life then?
@@cherilynlarsen8104 As far as I know it does not exist, but it seems like a wonderful idea for exploring the seamy underside of this world. Dealing with all kinds of cases, and seeing this plotting from the pov of servants and guards mostly. Cases of theft, embezzlement, abuse, murder, whatever. But I do not know if this Imperial Investigator Lady really existed, but somebody must have been some kind of harem supervisor ... and there are interesting offices mentioned, but what their actual tasks were I would like to know.
@@dirgniflesuoh7950 I completely agree with you! I would definitely read and or watch such a story. Good idea! I think the elements that draw me to this drama are the subtleties and nuances ---- things unsaid, as well as things that are said. It shows a culture I am not familiar with and that intrigues me. It also doesn't hurt that the production is so good. The set design, costumes, makeup and hair (I would really like to see the process of doing those elaborate hair styles), the medicine, and of course the good acting.
He was one of the reasons why the finances for the next Emperor was in bad shape. Officials were stealing money and he did not pay attention. When Yongyuan was able to charge the official and make him commit suicide.
Yup. So ultimately, she did succeed in her goal in increasing her family's standing. But if I'm remembering correctly, the empress Dowager even makes commentary later on but it's a shame that it is Yan Wan's son that becomes Emperor and not Hailan's son/Ruyi's foster son. Simply because he had been raised so well and having these two women occupy the two seats that Ruyi's aunt and the Empress Dowager were originally supposed to share at the beginning of the show would have been amazing because of the quality of both women. It's even more ironic because the emperor made sure to punish Jia and make sure that none of her sons could become emperor after he uncovered that she was scheming with his death in mind. For some unknown reason, unless yan Wan's son was the only one left alive, the emperor did not do the same for her
Finally! Some good subtitles that makes sense. No mentioning forehead as mother lol this is perhaps one of the most satisfying moments in the series. Seeing ALL Wei Yanwan's crimes exposed. It's been a long time, too many lives lost and blood spilled but so satisfying to see justice served. This is one of the few moments in time where watching someone writhing to death is so good. Her character was really well written and the actress who played here is superb. PS. What's with the clan name Wei? In most chinese novels I read and series I watch, most villains/antagonists are named under the family Wei. lol
Tiffany Sin Matriarch.. “Head of Household” Head.. fore head 1st Head of HH.. that’s likely why the first born is called 2nd Son or 2nd Daughter? 1st is the Mother or Father.
In one she was right: as an Emperor he lacked sincerity in his relationship with harem even with Ruyi he claimed he loved so much. He got no heart and no sincerity towards anyone.
Finally!! The moment we have all been waiting for! The downfall of Wei Yanwan! Honestly, as evil and cruel as she was...she was one hell of a villain and so well written as well. Props to Li Chun for taking on such a badass role although her character is completely unforgivable. Still, this is gonna be epic....and Ruyi finally gets her revenge as well 🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@itzyinyourareat9763 She had been many yrs dead when Qianlong abdicated in name and gave her son the throne. I think" Ruyi " was just as guilty as she was, marrying the Empress' husband and getting favored before those of better families or more children, and the getting picked for empress. They did the same thing.
The last half of this clip has the background music removed for some reason- highly recommend anyone watching this to rewatch the actual episode (can be found on youtube v easily). The music makes a world of difference and is incredibly powerful.
Actually if u understand she already won she made the king lived with regret of losing yr true love so doesnt matter in other if she die or not . She archived her goal .
Hell, she achieved her goal of raising her family's reputation because it's her son that becomes emperor. Because, unless he had no other sons, her son should have gotten the same treatment that the sons of Jia got after he found out that she was scheming with his death in mind.
But Ruyi got what she wanted most before she died in peace: Wei Yanwen paying for her crimes of murder, freedom from the palace’s webs of deceit and free from the long years of abuse by the Emperor. She’ll see her children in heaven and in the next life, Ruyi will meet a man who’ll love her for her true self.
you know how there's a saying that you shouldn't stick it in crazy. the emp just went for psychos after psychos and didn't ever stop even after they were caught scheming. why would you ever want to have children with them
Her son tried to sort up and make revision of the mess his father left him. It did not make him loved. And the empire was in trouble bc new problems, and new rivals were added. Empires tend expand until they outreach themselves, and tends to go corrupt too.
I always felt a bit bad for Ling before she went FUBAR and started genociding every kid in the palace. She was a pretty maid that suffered many abuses and shitty treatments. She learned her cunning and cruelty from the Emperor, Empress Dowager, Jia, and Jin Zhong. It’s actually no surprise TO ME that she became who she did. I’m not excusing her actions, but she didn’t need to turn out this way.
True, but she’s also always been this way, just not to this extent. She’s been manipulative ever since the beginning, like when she dropped Ling Yunche because he was the lowest rank of palace guards, then immediately wanted him back as soon as he was promoted and she saw she could use him.
The Qianji Medicien killed the last emperor of Tang Dynasty by the first emperor of Song Dynasty. For he wrote a poem titled Corn Poppy to express his sorrow from dead of his country and his wife.
This actress playing consort ling is marvelous at her acting skills ...she portrayed the villainous role very well ...... sometimes even I felt to slap this women 😛😤 she is indeed good actress 👌👌👌👌 soon this series will end .We have to find some new series to make our quarantine time less hectic 😪😏😟 anybody suggest any interesting series from any country to watch .
I don't think the emperor was blind to any of the things that happened in his harem. Like he told his previous queen that he turned a blind eye to it per her being the empress. I believe that he didn't think ruyi had an affair I think the guilt he felt was over powering and when yanmen was giving him everything he want it was just a shroud. I feel like he treated ruyi the was he did is because he wanted everything. And in that he lost everything. Sad really
She plays a despicable character and no one wanted her end more than me, but give credit to this actress for playing her part sooo well. Wish I knew her name
How many did she truly kill? 15 deaths. 5 attempted murders. I'm probably off by a few. 1. 5th Princess 2. 6th Princess 3. 13th Prince 4. Ling Yuenche 5. Lanciu, her maid 6. Eunuch Zhi Zong 7. Her Mother 8. Nanny Tian, midwife 9. Big ass, Concubine Yu 10. Consort Yu nephew 11. Nephew friend, Nanny Tian son 12. Consort Shu 13. Yongqi 14. Hu Yunjiao, Nanny Tians daughter 15. Fugui'er, the dog 16. Imp. Physician Lu Attempted 1. Empress Nara 2. Yongji, 12 Prince 3. Consort Yu 4. Gugu Chuchuan 5. Yongxuan, 8th Prince
And to be fair, they are right. Even Ruyi admits it. Because of how serious the competition is in the Harem and how quickly the women each find out that lives are constantly at stake, including their own, it makes you do things that you would not normally consider. Ruyi had to learn to act the way that she did and she admits it to the emperor, that it is not the case that she would never scheme, it is the case that she would not scheme against anyone who did not cause her harm. It was why the empress Dowager was impressed that she chose to willingly poison herself and her maid with arsenic for the sake of getting out of the cold palace. It is not necessarily the case that the women deliberately Force each other to act this way, it is the fact that not being willing to go to extreme lengths to protect yourself and sometimes to further your own goals will result in you having a very painful life
The one good thing Yanwen did in this scene is enforce what Ruyi said to him earlier about the harem and how Ruyi was so loyal to him but he was so disloyal and disrespectful to Ruyi. She made him see that others were able to see how sincere and loyal Ruyi was to him and that they all could see how he mistreated her and allowed her to be compromised by the scheming of women who were never sincere in their feelings towards him.

Yei wen was spitting facts tho. He did raise her and turn blind eyes when he knew what was going on in his harem. All the loses if Royal children he had a invisible hand in each one.
Has anyone noticed that whenever Empress Dowager speaks of Ruyi to the emperor she rolls her eyes at him? 🙂
for those of you who forget all the ones she murdered:
5th princess jingsi (Ruyi's only daughter)
6th princess (consort Ying's daughter)
10th prince (consort Shu's son)
13th prince Yongjing (Ruyi's son)
5th prince Yongqi,
Tian Yun'er, (Yongqi's lover, nanny Tian's Daughter)
nanny Tian (the one who cause 13th prince Yongjing's death)
Zhaqi, (consort Yu's nephew)
Ling Yunche,
Zhao jiu xiao (Ling Yunche's best friend)
consort Shu, (the one who suicide after knowing that emperor was giving her birth control soup)
Lancui, (her maid)
Jin Zhong, (her eunuch)
HER OWN MOTHER and
RUYI's MOTHER!!!
Fuguar (the watchdog of Noble Consort Jia)
Maybe a few more, feel free to add them below
Astronomer but I forget his name
Imperial concubine shu jia(consort ling is the one who kill 5th and 6th princess and framing to imperial concubine shu jia)
8th Prince(imperial concubine shu jia son) because he broke his leg when riding horse.
Zhao jiu xiao, Ling yun che's best friend
Hi Zhaqi is actually Consort Yu’s nephew how can someone so ugly be closely related to Consort Yu, she’s so beautiful
@@dakuineblackthorn1614 lol yeah u r right my bad thx for correcting
@@melvyn644 well, 8th prince's not dead so I didn't include him.
i also love the looks on everyones' faces as well. Hailan looks like she's about to throw up and cry, the empress dowager looks dead faced after knowing the truth from Ruyi, even consort Ling doesnt realize how many people she killed until she counts all the flags. and then there's the emperor, who has tears in his eyes and has the look of, 'why does everything bad happen to me, everything i like turns out to be wrong'
It turned out wrong because this man wasn't sincere he did a lot of this evil stuff too this man was not sincere to anybody but to himself he made itself for God and there's no man on this point that is bigger than the god that we know no man God will bring you down when you get above yourself just like he did the angel most beautiful angel which is Satan now because he would want to send himself above God who are we
Annie Mysweet, how many people did she kill or had killed?
@@Donna-qt1ot there were at least 15-16 people...there were that many prayer flags brought in that they made her bow down to each one
@@anniemysweet2085 , good God!!! That woman was a serial killer!!!
@@Donna-qt1ot ling son Yongyan doesn't deserved to be an emperor
😡 Ruyi tried numerous times to tell him what this evil vicious, and deadly woman did... but as usual he did not believe her and looked down upon her as malicious.
When you go back and watch the episodes, you see so many times she could have been stopped.
He didn't want to stop her, he was constantly using her to antagonize and act petty towards Ruyi. He said so himself on the boat when him and Ruyi were arguing on the boat that he rewards her(Consort Ling)because she allows him to be free (do stupid stuff ) and she encourages it which means she pandas to his Ego.
Hailan is a badass queen. She’s more ruthless than Ruyi (Ruyi can be too softhearted at times) and she’s much more intelligent and politically savvy than the other consorts/concubines, including Wei Yanwan.
It's more than that than 15 like some of them she really did damage they all did damage to the people that they killed but the ones that did die before this and they on the way they pay the price for what they did no comma goes Unturned people need to know this when you do wrong you pay a price for it just like anything on this Earth there's a price to pay for everything when you do evil
And he's just sitting there with his Stupid Face on thinking of all the wrong he's done to Ruyi...
He got played and lost the love of his life.
Mey is right, though. The most loyal person was the most punished. Sad. But great acting, the actors made us feel the pain of their character's.
@@filipaneto6876 But that is how he always was. The more you loved him, the less he trusted you. The first Empress loved him, and was jealous of Ruyi because the Emperor loved her. He didn't love the first Empress, yet rug-swept all her evil deeds, although he knew what she had done. The Han princess hated him; he doted on her. Ruyi loved him sincerely, he put her through Hell and back. Yet, when she cut her hair, he had respect for her. Then he was the one who loved and she was indifferent.
I think of all the c drama villain gets karma moments I've watched so far.. this still just might be my all time favorite. I mean Ling is someone taking a consistent L for about 30 minutes, that banner scene alone was just everything to me. Ruyi you did THAT sis. Justice finally was served!
Wallace Huo’s acting here is impeccable! Alongside with Chun Li and Janine Chang!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Whether or not Ruyi loved the emperor truly, the fact she tried her best to rule the court while her husband was a prick shows that, at least in this story's case, she was trying her best to be fair and just for those that need healing and those that needed to be punished. This was her last act as 'Empress'. To punish the woman that wrong her and to punish the emperor that nearly used and almost emotionally abused her.
the actress did a great job since everyone hate her character, kudos 👏
We also gotta give props to the script writers, they're the ones who also planned the lines
@@raindropstarrock41 agree. it was a great drama
Like I said on my comment, she surpassed Cersei and Jeoffrey of The Game of Thrones as the most hated character. :D
When has this emperor ever cared about anything being too coincidental 😒 worst ruler/husband ever
Remember it’s a drama, Emperor Qianlong was a great ruler.
@@eric3255 He performed genocides, even wiki writes it. However his grandfather Kangxi and his father Yongzheng Emperor were great emperors.
All leaders are different some are great in different areas
@@margaritanoir to be fair genocide was a new concept in the world so his views were way different than yours or mine.
@@kindallnight1615 Genocide comes from Greek and it means "total annihilation of a nation". It's not a new concept at all. You can find the practice even in the Bible e.g. in the Book of Esther where the stake was the extermination of all the Jews in the Persian Empire.
Historically, Qianlong knew very well what he was doing when he killed off entire nations (e.g. the Dzungars). His 2nd wife, Empress Nara (aka Ruyi) was a devout Buddhist who eventually even wanted to become a nun and who was respected by the ministers even in death. It's very likely that due to her character and religious beliefs, she didnt approve of his killings or promiscuous ways. Hence why she chose to relinquish her Empress title by cutting her hair.
The most dangerous human being is one who believes her lies.
The emperor.. he still name her son emperor and her empress post- humously. Like what the -k??!??? Just wrong.. like giving her everything she wanted. Success. I don’t get that. This bastard.
Kate Li Historians say that Ruyi’s last wish was “make her only surviving child free.” The Emperor had to grant the wish of a dead. Ling’s son assumed the throne but not fully in control. His reign was the down fall of the mighty Qing Dynasty.
@@kateli1880 There were only a few princes who were able to ascend aty that point in time, many of his sons had died or were not good enough to be his successor. He chose his best candidate numerous years in advance and abdicated early to guide him before he died.
Chinese history true storyline
@@m.c.2775 Yongyan didn’t cause the downfall it was the emperor himself who caused it. Stop hating on Consort Ling and her children because of the storyline of this particular drama.
When the flags were shown and one has the name of Ling Yunche I cried, they were so cruel to him, he didn't deserve to suffer so much. 😭
Best punishement ever and she deserved everything. F... bitch, she was so ruthless and awful.
I couldn't agree more
It was not enough; she deserve so much pain, so much suffering and torture for every single life she took...... well, am not satisfied really. The only thing that satisfies me is her words to the damn emperor about Ruyi
All because of the emperor he did some of them killings too she didn't do a lot of it by herself Queen Mother some of the other women they all had a hand and all of this she just ended up getting the Buddy and of everything
Ruyi, Hailan and Rongpei are my favorite characters in this series. They are such beautiful and intelligent women. Don’t mess with Hailan!!!
I am really interested in the woman who is the emperor's chief investigator, carrying out torture and administering punishment. It seems a very responsible and important position and it is interesting that a woman holds it.
@Vico SDL No, she meant that elderly woman Yuhu who used to investigate crimes: she sorted out circumstancee of the death of the 1st Impress, she reported Cold Palace news to the Imperor (where Ruyi was imprisoned), and now she accompanied Consort Ling. Interesting position for the woman🤔- could it be real in life then?
I suggest a series a lot more interesting , "Crime In The Forbidden City" or something, with this woman as the lead.
@@dirgniflesuoh7950 Is your idea based on a book, and is it written in English so I could read it?
@@cherilynlarsen8104 As far as I know it does not exist, but it seems like a wonderful idea for exploring the seamy underside of this world.
Dealing with all kinds of cases, and seeing this plotting from the pov of servants and guards mostly. Cases of theft, embezzlement, abuse, murder, whatever. But I do not know if this Imperial Investigator Lady really existed, but somebody must have been some kind of harem supervisor ... and there are interesting offices mentioned, but what their actual tasks were I would like to know.
@@dirgniflesuoh7950 I completely agree with you! I would definitely read and or watch such a story. Good idea! I think the elements that draw me to this drama are the subtleties and nuances ---- things unsaid, as well as things that are said. It shows a culture I am not familiar with and that intrigues me. It also doesn't hurt that the production is so good. The set design, costumes, makeup and hair (I would really like to see the process of doing those elaborate hair styles), the medicine, and of course the good acting.
He was one of the reasons why the finances for the next Emperor was in bad shape. Officials were stealing money and he did not pay attention. When Yongyuan was able to charge the official and make him commit suicide.
This part was so sad. Poor Ruyi. The emperor should have known how much she loved him and her true character. He should have done better by her.
The irony is it was her son who became the next emperor. He placed the 15th prince name inside the box.
Yup. So ultimately, she did succeed in her goal in increasing her family's standing. But if I'm remembering correctly, the empress Dowager even makes commentary later on but it's a shame that it is Yan Wan's son that becomes Emperor and not Hailan's son/Ruyi's foster son. Simply because he had been raised so well and having these two women occupy the two seats that Ruyi's aunt and the Empress Dowager were originally supposed to share at the beginning of the show would have been amazing because of the quality of both women.
It's even more ironic because the emperor made sure to punish Jia and make sure that none of her sons could become emperor after he uncovered that she was scheming with his death in mind. For some unknown reason, unless yan Wan's son was the only one left alive, the emperor did not do the same for her
That kick sound effect was the most satisfying music I've ever heard lol
Finally! Some good subtitles that makes sense. No mentioning forehead as mother lol this is perhaps one of the most satisfying moments in the series. Seeing ALL Wei Yanwan's crimes exposed. It's been a long time, too many lives lost and blood spilled but so satisfying to see justice served. This is one of the few moments in time where watching someone writhing to death is so good. Her character was really well written and the actress who played here is superb.
PS. What's with the clan name Wei? In most chinese novels I read and series I watch, most villains/antagonists are named under the family Wei. lol
Probably because there was a historical villian that really had the "Wei" surname 😂 just a guess haha
Yeah what was with that forehead thing?
In Qing Dynasty, royals usually call their mother as "額娘", where the word "額"means "forehead". I think it's mistake in translation😂
Tiffany Sin
Matriarch.. “Head of Household”
Head.. fore head 1st Head of HH..
that’s likely why the first born is called 2nd Son or 2nd Daughter? 1st is the Mother or Father.
The Dowager Empress's clapbacks to Yanwan are epic. I'm so glad to hear they were translated well.
In one she was right: as an Emperor he lacked sincerity in his relationship with harem even with Ruyi he claimed he loved so much. He got no heart and no sincerity towards anyone.
佐祿：都到這個時候了，你怎麼還能說出這樣的話呢⋯
有點可愛哈哈哈
Finally!! The moment we have all been waiting for! The downfall of Wei Yanwan! Honestly, as evil and cruel as she was...she was one hell of a villain and so well written as well. Props to Li Chun for taking on such a badass role although her character is completely unforgivable. Still, this is gonna be epic....and Ruyi finally gets her revenge as well 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not Li Chun Ai. That's from Yanxi palace. The actress playing Wei Yan Wan is Li Chun
@@minhuioon7935 Thank you for the clarification.
Marcus Foo No Probs!
Blessed subtitles. It's all clear now what they've been talking about.
I love this scene. When the villaness's crimes are revealed one by one at the end... it's heart moving!
This scene was so satisfying for all of the evil doing to come to light.
i wish it had been a public more painful death.
This was insanely powerful. I even cried.
so funny that in yanxi place i was rooting for her... in this series i just want her to be pushed off a cliff. lol
Same for the Empress
It's funny how a diffrent interpretation changes ones mindset 😂👌
@@tamashiranai1091 indeed but honestly,empress rongyin was done dirty on here
I really believe Ling was truly like this in real life bc in real life her son got to be king after the other princes die
@@itzyinyourareat9763 She had been many yrs dead when Qianlong abdicated in name and gave her son the throne. I think" Ruyi " was just as guilty as she was, marrying the Empress' husband and getting favored before those of better families or more children, and the getting picked for empress. They did the same thing.
i love the looks on Yuhu's face, you can tell she wants to slap Ling even more than the emperor did
I’m glad she told him that she never loved him. A world like that is bound to create serial killers
Ive just finished watching the whole series and i was addicted. I don't normally like shows like this but this was amazing. A tame game of thrones.
This actress, who played Yanwan is so damn good... i really hate her to the end 😂
She played very hateful character also in “Journey of Flower”
This video never gets old. I need to see this every so often to remember evil people gets their karma serve hot.
Favourite eps. They Royal mother reflected things through ruyi's and the emperors love!
The last half of this clip has the background music removed for some reason- highly recommend anyone watching this to rewatch the actual episode (can be found on youtube v easily). The music makes a world of difference and is incredibly powerful.
I agree, but the subtitles aren't that comprehensible
It might be due to copyright.
@@teodora2979 I think it is. I've seen this before with other videos. They take out part of the sound to avoid a copyright strike.
這段百看不膩啊！
Actually if u understand she already won she made the king lived with regret of losing yr true love so doesnt matter in other if she die or not . She archived her goal .
Hell, she achieved her goal of raising her family's reputation because it's her son that becomes emperor. Because, unless he had no other sons, her son should have gotten the same treatment that the sons of Jia got after he found out that she was scheming with his death in mind.
She's a monster, but everything she said to Quianlong while she was dying is straight up truth tbh

It was so good to see her get what was coming to her. But Ruyi paid the price.
But Ruyi got what she wanted most before she died in peace: Wei Yanwen paying for her crimes of murder, freedom from the palace’s webs of deceit and free from the long years of abuse by the Emperor. She’ll see her children in heaven and in the next life, Ruyi will meet a man who’ll love her for her true self.
Other channels videos have wrong subtitles.... this is the correct one... thank you so much!!
you know how there's a saying that you shouldn't stick it in crazy. the emp just went for psychos after psychos and didn't ever stop even after they were caught scheming. why would you ever want to have children with them
The inturpreting of this clip is the best. I gave seen this clip on other channels but this one is most accurate.
That tired blink from the dowager empresses' servant, like she's seen it all before and it's just so tiresome, makes this scene that much better
Hailan is such a gorgeous name!!!!! So regal.
Take a shot everytime a consort screams ...Hwangshaaaaaa 🤣
Drunk by episode 2.
Especially when they do their little scheming and then get caught.
Consort ling son became emperor but that`s when the downfall of the dynasty started
The downfall started during the later age of qiAnlong emperor. As he started to neglect his duties during his later age
@@misssecret471 also, his many regrets & missing his loved Ruyi.
Literally! This FUCKING comment!
Her son tried to sort up and make revision of the mess his father left him. It did not make him loved. And the empire was in trouble bc new problems, and new rivals were added. Empires tend expand until they outreach themselves, and tends to go corrupt too.
I always felt a bit bad for Ling before she went FUBAR and started genociding every kid in the palace. She was a pretty maid that suffered many abuses and shitty treatments. She learned her cunning and cruelty from the Emperor, Empress Dowager, Jia, and Jin Zhong. It’s actually no surprise TO ME that she became who she did. I’m not excusing her actions, but she didn’t need to turn out this way.
True, but she’s also always been this way, just not to this extent. She’s been manipulative ever since the beginning, like when she dropped Ling Yunche because he was the lowest rank of palace guards, then immediately wanted him back as soon as he was promoted and she saw she could use him.
Til the end, she still blamed everyone else except herself... lol
The Qianji Medicien killed the last emperor of Tang Dynasty by the first emperor of Song Dynasty. For he wrote a poem titled Corn Poppy to express his sorrow from dead of his country and his wife.
5:26 The slap that was heard around the world. 🤣 Someone should play that on a loop.

I love how the emperor's right hand man is a woman!!!
You dont play with Consort Yu.
I kind of wish Consort Yu would have been the next Empress instead. She could have had Yanwan dead within a week.
This is so satisfying.
I don't think the emperor was blind to any of the things that happened in his harem. Like he told his previous queen that he turned a blind eye to it per her being the empress. I believe that he didn't think ruyi had an affair I think the guilt he felt was over powering and when yanmen was giving him everything he want it was just a shroud. I feel like he treated ruyi the was he did is because he wanted everything. And in that he lost everything. Sad really

Karma has finally come
From 10:50 to about 11:52 the show was muted. Not sure if there is a reason, but just wanted to point it out.
" I was forced to" seems to be a running theme.
And to be fair, they are right. Even Ruyi admits it. Because of how serious the competition is in the Harem and how quickly the women each find out that lives are constantly at stake, including their own, it makes you do things that you would not normally consider. Ruyi had to learn to act the way that she did and she admits it to the emperor, that it is not the case that she would never scheme, it is the case that she would not scheme against anyone who did not cause her harm. It was why the empress Dowager was impressed that she chose to willingly poison herself and her maid with arsenic for the sake of getting out of the cold palace. It is not necessarily the case that the women deliberately Force each other to act this way, it is the fact that not being willing to go to extreme lengths to protect yourself and sometimes to further your own goals will result in you having a very painful life
