The Deer and the Cauldron 鹿鼎记 Episode 10

The emperor waited for Wei Xiaobao's news, and Wei Xiaobao told him that although he had done something, he had become a problem. In order to make the play more realistic, he killed the four little eunuchs next to the Queen Mother, and finally found out that the culprit behind the scenes was from the Muwangfu. The emperor happily took Wei Xiaobao to please the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother wanted to hear interesting folk stories and left Wei Xiaobao.

Princess Jianning went to visit the emperor in Qianqing Palace, and the emperor saw her gossiping and told them to return to the palace. Princess Jianning had nothing to do and decided to use Shentang's tricks to attract everyone's attention. The guards were not fooled. How did Princess Jianning slip into the pond at her feet. It happened that this scene was seen by Sister Fang Yi who was about to leave, and the two couldn't bear to rescue her, and then sent her back to the palace.

The queen mother decided to kill Wei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao said that Ruidong gave the "Forty-two Chapters" to herself before he died. If his life is not preserved, others should not even want to get the scriptures. Sure enough, the Queen Mother cared about the "Forty-two Chapters" and decided to let him go for the time being and asked Liu Yan to take Wei Xiaobao back to the palace to find the scriptures.

Princess Jianning returned to the palace under the escort of Sister Fang Yi, and then left and left to pack the two alone. Princess Jianning interrogated the two of them disguised as eunuchs. Sisters Fang Yi took out their weapons to clean up Princess Jianning, and then took her back to Wei Xiaobao's bedroom.

Sister Fang Yi heard the news of Wei Xiaobao's return to the palace. The two hid on the beam of the bed. Wei Xiaobao led Liu Yan to the bed, and then cooperated with Sister Fang Yi to kill Liu Yan. At this time, there was a sound from the bathtub in the house. Wei Xiaobao approached and found that Princess Jianning was tied inside, and instructed Sister Fang Yi to pack her things quickly and fix Jianning by herself.

Wei Xiaobao said in front of the princess that he was ordered to let go of the anti-thief. Sister Fang Yi and the anti-thief were in a group. He was ordered to gain their trust and then kill the anti-thief. Princess Jianning heard that he was going to catch a big fish and happily returned to the bedroom to prepare.

Wei Xiaobao packed his luggage and prepared to escape from the palace. Before leaving, he went to the queen dowager’s bedroom and put Liu Yan’s shoes in the queen dowager’s bedroom. Unexpectedly, he found that the queen dowager’s bed had a cave in the bed, so he took away the Queen Mother’s "Forty-two Chapters". A court lady also came to the queen dowager's bedroom and turned over the cabinets. Suddenly, footsteps came from outside the house. Wei Xiaobao and the court lady winked, and they hid in the closet together.

The queen mother and the court lady who disguised themselves as women returned to the bedroom. The court lady thought that the queen mother's plan might have failed. Since she knew that Wei Xiaobao was smooth, she should not send Liu Yan alone. The queen mother did not expect Liu Yan's skill to be better than Wei Xiaobao's, and why she lost to Wei Xiaobao every time. The two were about to go outside to investigate the situation, when the queen mother suddenly found the corners of the clothes exposed outside the closet, pressing on every step of the way.

The maid in the closet pushed open the closet and stunned the queen mother, and then fought against the false maid. The two were worthy of martial arts masters, and the tricks were fatal. When they were on par, the queen mother woke up to help the false maid. In the closet, Wei Xiaobao rushed out of the closet and was about to slip away. Once again, he stunned the queen mother. When the false maid was distracted, the maid stabbed him to death with the hairpin.

Wei Xiaobao left with the maid, and then decided to report to the emperor that the queen mother had quarreled with the wild man. The two finally clashed and killed someone by mistake. The court lady thought it was about the Queen Mother's reputation. If Wei Xiaobao reported it, the emperor would not let him go and decided to act separately from Wei Xiaobao.

On the way back to the palace, Wei Xiaobao encountered the imperial army led by the emperor. The emperor was curious about his whereabouts. Wei Xiaobao said that the queen mother would let himself serve again tomorrow.
