Curse of the Golden Flower Page #3

is ready now.

I thank you.

Do you know what

tomorrow is?

The Chrysanthemum Festival. . .

. . .the day my birth mother died.

You were baby when she died. . .

. . .and I was away at war

much of the time.

I never took proper care of you.

For years , we were so distant.. . .

. . . and yet you have always been

my favorite son.

I asked Jai to come back. . .

. . .and I gave him

a duty.

What do you think

will happen ?

Father , he is planning to make. . .

. . .Jai the Crown Prince.

I sense your disapproval. . .

. . . then,I won't press you.

Father , please ....

I am without talent

and do not deserve the throne.

Twice before , I begged you

Father, to appoint another heir.

I would follow your wish , father !

I am back.

Did the Emperor grant you

permission to leave for Qingzhou?

When the Festival ends,

will you ask once again. . .

. . . I am sure , he will agree then.

When you go, don't forget

to take me with you.Wan...

After we go there. . .

. . .we shall finally be together.

. . . . for ever.

It will happen !

Her Majesty the Empress arrives!

Your Majesty.

She can come out now.

What do you mean?

Its alright !

no . . . .

pull it!

-What is the punishment?

-For seducing His Highness

and trespassing by law

20 lashes of the whip. . .

. . . branding of the face,

and banishment from the Palace.

what do you suggest?

Your Highness

She didn't do anything

This was my fault

and I beg Your Highness. . .

. . .please exercise forgiveness.

I was prompted to do this..

Fine.

I will do it for now . . .

. . . just don't think

its free for you.

Stand up.

....think ..its easy ..

be here appropriately

until the festival.

You may Leave me.

I have made the discovery

Your Majesty requested.

Its the new ingredient

a black fungus from Persia...

.. two grams a day ..

. . .will cause a person to lose

all mind over a period of time

Thank you.

Payment is not necessary

I did not do this for money.

Then why helped me?

The Empress may think that I came

because of the generous reward.

But I came

simply , because ...

I hate the Emperor.

Only Your Majesty is in a position

to avenge me.

I see that your face is branded.

Why were you in jail?

I won't say,

forgive my silence .

Farewell.

Your Highness, Prince Wan.

The Empress has already retired.

Come here?

-Father.

-Your Majesty.

This is the wife

of the Imperial Doctor.

Father, this woman broke

into the Palace three days ago.

when just I caught her.

Raise your head.

Free her.

Get out !

Wan. . .

. . .you must never speak

of the events of this night.

Is that clear ?

You can get up.

It has been 25 years.

I was certain .. . .

. . .that I would never see you again.
