Curse of the Golden Flower Page #2

so you want

to be sent to the frontier?

I would like to view the world. . .

. . .outside of this palace

how its is?

anything else?

Father.

-I will request permission .

-I am listening ..

... I do not know

if it would be appropriate. . . .

when you know then tell me .

Your medicine was not yet finished

at the hour of the Dragon.

How much is left?

Tell me.

Your Majesty,

there is a sip or two.

-pour it to the Empress.

-Yes.

Your Highness. . .

. . a change in my health, perhaps.

Where did you hear that from?

She will have to take all of her

medicine,drink which is left over.

Third son ...

Yu.

Mother, listen to the father, please.

Mother, please drink it.

Remain kneeling

until she drinks it.

Father,

Mother won't drink it.

-Why not let her be?

-forget your request .. she needs it. . .

. . .just as life is governed

by law.

Mother, you have been taking

this medicine for years.

just once follow.

Why change?

Yes.

Doesn't seem to be strange...

. . .to quit it ?

Mother's symptoms

make her unaware ..

-We know, Father.

Being treated well now.

... with good medicine .

You have something to tell me?

Father, I know now,the night

of the Festival. . .

. . . I wish to command

the Imperial Guards.

I, too, wish to gain experience.

Since Prince Jai has returned. . .

. . . he will assume this duty.

-Jai , my son

-Yes, Father.

Are you ready to accept

this as your duty ?

for the Festival,

they will be under your sole command.

My plans are made !

I will never disappoint

you , Father .

Then you know

needs to be done.

The Empress arrives.

Your wife kneels down

before you.

Do you know why I summoned you?

Today. . .

. . .you acted against me.

Please ,Watch closely.

I select each ingredient personally

with utmost care.

This will cure your anemia.

I am grateful for his highness.

All good medicine tastes bitter.

You have excess bile, for that,

fractious..why you are stubborn ?

That is why you are fractious. . .

. . .you are listless and

quite lethargic. . .

These are all very serious

symptoms of anemia.

I have anemia..

and so the medicine

. . .never ..any cure .

If your father

were not the King of Liang. . .

. . . I would not speak

to you with such restraint.

You would better understand

that as long as I am the Emperor. . .

. . .and you the Empress. . .

. . .we shall pretend well.

The Imperial Family. . .

. . . has an example to set.

As for to this family. . .

I tolerate you. . .

. . . because my concern is to

maintain law and order in the home.

Chickens roost.

Gentlemen to rest.

Streams run clear.

It is the Hour of the Snake.

Your servant kneels

before you.

The medicine
