Take Care, Your Highness! is a 1985 Hong Kong historical period drama television series produced by TVB and starring Andy Lau in the title role of Kin-lung Emperor, the sixth emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The series focuses on the power struggle in the Imperial Qing Palace, telling the story of righteous folks while also presenting a hesitant love story.
Prince Po (Andy Lau) possesses extraordinary talent but has an uninhibited nature, which worries his father Yung-ching Emperor (Lau Siu-ming) as he cannot decide whether Po can inherit his throne and promote the Manchu Foundation. In order to pave the way for Po as his successor, Yung-ching breaks up Po's romance with Suen Fuk-yu (Carina Lau), an ethnic Han Chinese, and declares her the Princess, which makes her become Po's younger step-sister. Yung-ching also declares the daughter of Lee Wing-po, the most powerful man of the Eight Banners, as Crown Princess. Although Yung-ching have broke them up, Po and Fuk-yu still date secretly.
Not long after, Yung-ching was assassinated and Prince Po inherits his throne, becoming the Kin-lung Emperor. Because Kin-lung did not understand statecraft, plus the chaotic rebellion of the Miao people, he releases his uncle, the 14th Prince Wan-tai (Paul Chun), who once failed the fight for the throne against Yung-ching. Wan-tai regains his position and helps Kin-lung with government affairs and made it very well organized. However, Wan-tai's ambition comes up again, and desires to seize the throne. Wan-tai then spread rumors everywhere citing Kin-lung has left Beijing to trace his origin. Wan-tai awaits his opportunity to seize the throne. Kin-lung travels to the south in disguise as a civilian and there, he becomes acquainted with Chow Yat-ching (Ha Yu), Tan-ka Mui and Chiu Nam-sing (Sean Lau), whom are members of the Anti-Qing society "Chung Yee Tong". After a thorough investigation, Kin-lung was able to prove that he is indeed a Manchu and knows that Wan-tai is up to no good. After Kin-lung's identity was exposed, the members of "Chung Yee Tong" turned against him and Kin-lung can must reverse the situation to resolve the crisis both inside and outside of the palace.
