Episode 3 - S1.E3

The Queen did not like WAN and made life hard for her and prohibited her from seeing XUAN. This made XUAN feel rather unfulfilled. TUNG peeked at the Emperor’s papers and was beaten with thirty spanks. XUAN was busy with the ceremony to worship the ancestors so he made arrangements so WAN would not be tortured. WAN accidentally saved Prince YING in the garden and was very much appreciated by concubine LAI. LAI even sent an imperial doctor NG to cure her wound. WAN begged NG to TUNG so TUNG could escape death. Most concubines were jealous of WAN who was beloved by XUAN, and they criticized her and treated her coldly. WAN bore everything in silence. One day, a jade stone was found in the palace on which it wrote, “YANG flowers blossom, LEE flowers wilt”. The news spread and everyone was worried.
