The Deer and the Cauldron 鹿鼎记 Episode 4

Hai Dafu was worried about Wei Xiaobao’s blinding his eyes, so he poisoned him in the soup. After a year, he got a bad stomach. When Wei Xiaobao knew it, he knelt down and begged for mercy. Hai Dafu asked him to take himself to the Queen Mother to find the "Forty-two Chapters." "Then he would give him an antidote, and Wei Xiaobao had to help him go to Cining Palace. On the way, the two encountered the imperial army on patrol. Wei Xiaobao lied that the queen mother summoned and deceived the imperial army. He took Hai Dafu to Cining Palace and hid himself outside the palace. Hai Dafu met the queen mother in the name of reporting a secret, and the queen retired the maid. Hai Dafu mentioned to the Queen Dowager that the emperor asked herself to find out the cause of Concubine Dong E’s death, thinking that the Queen Mother killed her with a bone-forming sponge palm. The queen mother insisted that Concubine Dong E was dying of illness and took action against Hai Dafu; who knows Hai Dafu’s eyes cannot see but ears But she was very bright, the queen mother was obviously at a disadvantage, so she used poison and forced Wei Xiaobao to help. Wei Xiaobao was instantly caught in a dilemma when Hai Dafu fainted. The voice of the guard came from outside the door, and the queen mother immediately told Wei Xiaobao to close the palace door. Wei Xiaobao wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but the queen mother pestered him. The queen mother pulled out the hairpin to assassinate him, but Wei Xiaobao's golden silk and soft armor saved his life. The queen mother warned him not to reveal today's affairs. If he was tight-lipped, there would be a reward. Wei Xiaobao was scared to leave immediately. Wei Xiaobao came back to the bedroom out of breath, and saw Hai Dafu sitting in a chair staring at him as usual. Ding Qing turned out to be an illusion. Wei Xiaobao took off his coat and saw a hole in his clothes. He even thought the golden silk soft armor on his body was a treasure. Wei Xiaobao was appointed as the deputy chief eunuch of the Dushan Department to replace Hai Dafu who died of a sudden illness. The eunuchs flattered him. When Wei Xiaobao went to work as an errand at the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor mentioned Obai's affairs, and he cared about his past merits and did not kill him, but in the prison, he repeatedly claimed that the emperor used shameful conspiracy to arrest him. Wei Xiaobao knew that the emperor was worried about the discussion of hundreds of officials in the court, and decided to find a way to plug his mouth. Wei Xiaobao went to the prison to visit Obai. When Obai saw that he was already very angry, he was pulling the chain to kill Wei Xiaobao. Wei Xiaobao tried his tricks, poisoned his food and angered him to eat, but he didn't know whether he drank it in one go. Suddenly a group of masked men rushed out of the prison. Wei Xiaobao was so scared that he hid in Tibet. Finally, he had to hide in Obai's cell, and then took out the dagger of the boot barrel to defend himself, and Obai rushed to confront Wei Xiaobao, with the dagger just piercing into his chest. Wei Xiaobao was held hostage by a mask. Prince Kang was worried that Wei Xiaobao would be injured and had to let them go. Then he reported to the emperor. When the emperor heard that Wei Xiaobao had an accident and taught Prince Kang and the others, it was useless, so he immediately dispatched an army to save people. Wei Xiaobao was taken to the rudder of the Tiandihui by the masked man. It turns out that the masked man was sent by the Tiandihui to kill Obbai. Chen Jinnan, the head of the World Club, learned that Wei Xiaobao had killed Obai and admired him so much that he decided to accept him as a disciple. Wei Xiaobao told everyone that he was not an eunuch, and that he had worshiped the Tiandihui since he was a child. According to the previous agreement, the members of the Heaven and Earth Society who killed Aobai would become the hall master of the Qingmu Hall, and Wei Xiaobao became the hall master under the recommendation of Chen Jinnan. Suo Etu and King Kang Qin could not find Wei Xiaobao, but they did not dare to return to the emperor. While hesitating, Wei Xiaobao came out unscathed, and they immediately ran out of the palace to meet them. The two told that they were exhausted in order to find him, and Suo'etu thought that he was alive and well.
