Opening Song: 絲羅 - 李宇春 Silk Web - by Li Yu Chun

♫ You are the silk of a web,

yet you willingly carry heavy beams. ♫

♫ Intertwined with one another,

from daybreak until twilight. ♫

♫ Sometimes meeting and parting,

life and death, wither with honor. ♫

♫ Exchange and give love.

Let the heart return to its resting place. ♫

♫ Your path follows behind his loneliness. ♫

♫ Meander upwards and there happiness will be. ♫

♫ Worry not over who leans on whom. ♫

♫ Once it begins, it will not end. ♫

♫ The song in the clouds accompanies him on the journey. ♫

♫ Declare all of your love. ♫

♫ You are willing to experience all of the bitterness, ♫

♫ Live the rest of your life with him to the ends of the world. ♫

♫ Live the rest of your life with him to the ends of the world. ♫

Love Yunge From the Desert.

Episode 13

Brother Meng.

What do you think of the tragic event that happened yesterday at the Princess residence?

Back then when Crown Prince Wei rebelled, the two sides of people

battled it out in Chang An city for five days.

Within the walls of Chang'an City, there was a blood-bath. It's so bleak.

Comparing what happened now to back then, it practically can't compare up to it.

You've seen the world. What is happening right now must not come as a surprise for you.

Huo Guang is more vicious than I thought.

I thought he and Shang Guan Jie would just destroy each other.

Even if one side wins. It would come with a consequence.

I am so amazed that Huo Guang could win without having to lose anything.

Yesterday at the Princess's house no one could have survived.

Even knowing the consequence you still went.?

Aren't you worried that Huo Guang will suspect you?

He already suspects me so that is why he asked me to go .

Even if I don't go I still won't be able to get away. I'll be more at risk.

You risked being found out by Huo Guang to save Yun Ge.

Silly girl is still mad at you for this.

I rather her be mad at me.

Rather getting entangled in this mess.

Come to think of it, it's a joke.

Many years ago Shang Guang Jie overthrown the king for the crown prince.

Using the young king as a puppet and gaining control over the kingdom.

Can't believe he would end up like this.

Like how we are judging the actions of others.

In the future, I wonder what will happen to us.

Wonder what type of ending is in store for us.

Using Huo Guang's hands, you got revenge on Shang Guan Jie.

Shouldn't you be happy?

It his was all planned by me, then I would've been happy.

I was just a mere chess piece.

Have you ever heard a incapable person would be happy? One that can't even take part in plotting his revenge?

Have the privilege of being happy?

If you are unhappy about being incapable,

then why don't you at least try?

Sir, Uncle Fung is very sick, you need to come now.

Understood.

You didn't sleep well last night?

Not really, I've been thinking about what happened after we left the Princess's house.

Do you know the reason why such horrific things happened?

I am a merchant.

I was there to network and do some business.

Who knew what would have happened.

It's okay, don't think too much.

Oh yes,

my adopted father's health situation has worsened.This might be the last time we see him.

Promise me, whatever he asks please just agree.

Okay?

Uncle Fung pampers me so much. I will go according to his will.

Wait here for me.

Father please forgive your son.

You've stirred Duke Yan to plot a rebellion.

Intensified the conflict between Shang Guan Jie and Huo Guang. The people who ought to die, are dead.

Now Huo Guang have ultimate power in court. Are you satisfied?

Xiao Jie, you're ambition is too big.

I don't dare to.

I, don't have that ability.

Still playing games.

What is it?

I'm fine.

You go so far as to bring Yunge here.

I was afraid adopted father was sick and didn't want to have guests, so I didn't let her come in.

Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie... I was the one who brought you up.

This little scheme of using Yunge. You can't hide it from me.

I don't understand what adopted father is talking about.

These past days, I've already investigated it clearly.

Actually, you already know that Yunge's mother, Xin Cheng, is my classmate,

You know I'm infatuated with Xin Cheng. You already gone to the Outer Plains to ask Yunge's hand in marriage.

You were unsuccessful with the proposal, you seized the opportunity to continually get close to Yunge.

Once more, brought Yunge to see me.

Are you gambling on me

in future, because I look favourable on Yunge

I'll give the Liuxing Gang Leadership to you.

Am I right?

Yes.

I certainly am pathing the road for my future.

The more useful a person is, the more meaningful the trade (buy/sell).

Isn't this what adopted father had taught me since I was a child.

You can scheme with any person, but you're not allowed to scheme with Xin Cheng's daughter.

Otherwise...

Do you truly love Yunge?

Yunge, come in.

Silly girl.

I'm neither relative nor friend, why are you kneeling in front of me?

You are Meng Jue's senior. He kneel before you, I'll also kneel before you.

In saying that, are you following him?

No.

I'm not following him, nor is he following me.

We are together, we'll walk together on our paths.

Adopted father.

Where's the Liuxing badge I temporarily released to you?

Yunge, keep this safe.

Uncle Feng, why are you giving me this?

This is the most important token of the Liuxing Gang.

After I die, if Xiao Jie bullies you.

You just take this Liuxing Badge

and find the Liuxing Gang's person who enforce the law,

Disable him.

I'm not a gang member of the Liuxing Gang.

I'll have no use for it.

Yunge, this is a senior's good intention.

Be good, take it.

So alike,

You look so similar to Xin Cheng.

Classmate.

Everything that I owe you

I've paid it all back to you.

Uncle Feng.

Adopted father.

Adopted father!

Adopted father.

Uncle Feng.

Uncle Feng.

Miss Yun, Si Yue lead Liuxing Gang members, pay respect to the new Leader.

Greetings new leader.

You guys got it wrong.

Meng Jue is your new leader.

Timing & subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

Why did Uncle Feng called my mother's name just before he died.

Could it be he knows my mother?

Your mother? How could that be?

Why would he say that he's paid back everything he's owes?

I'm unable to make heads or tails of it, I've become the leader of Liuxing Gang.

You're the adopted son, it should have gone to you.

Maybe because he liked you too much.

What is this?

Besides, I have no use holding onto this, I'll give it to you.

That won't do.

The Liuxing Badge is very important, you can't award to to someone in private.

Heaven and earth,

I, leader of Liuxing Gang, Yunge, decided to transfer the leadership to Meng Jue.

Heaven and Earth are the witness, will not go back on my word.

Now you can take it, right?

Thank you Yunge.

All the apprehended assassins said that they were under Duke Yan's orders.

The Shangguan father and son have always had a bad relationship with Duke Yan, and this time they used the royal guard without permission.

There is also a letter about overthrowing the throne. The evidence is solid.

Your Majesty, please immediately send out soldiers to pursue Duke Yan.

Pass my order down. Send out the soldiers to pursue only Duke Yan.

The crime will not affect his family.

Your Majesty. You must pull trouble up from its roots.

Minister of War, your evidence is so thorough. I think you must have been paying attention to Duke Yan for a while.

There must be your person by his side.

From what I can tell, even if it was Duke Yan that started it,

I don't need to worry about the mess of the military will affect the common people.

Everything should be within your control.

I will definitely do my best.

As for Princess Uyigar,

she previously had been sending letters and presents back and forth with Duke Yan.

It will be difficult to not drag the princess into this.

It will be investigated whether she was involved.

She is my biological elder sister. If I pass an edict to kill her,

I'm afraid I won't be able to face my father in the future. Just have Princess palace under house arrest.

This is the way it will be with Duke Yan as well.

But...

If you don't agree with me,

Then you can stamp this order out yourself

I would not dare to. I am just afraid of leaving behind some danger.

I am just afraid that a war would kill innocent people.

Your Majesty is intelligent.

Pass my order to assist Prince of Guangling

let him know to not dare to act rashly (idiom).

If within three days we cannot get Prince Yin to open his doors and concede to his sins

Then Minister of War you can only imagine the consequences, am I right?

I will definitely do my best.

Then...what about Duke Chang Yi?

Don't bother with him.

Yes.

Stop! Go and lead them away!

The rest come with me!

Let's go!

Meng Jue? I have no grudges with you.

You-! Why did you help Huo Guang to harm me?

You had plans of rebelling long ago.

Huo Guang just used the situation to his advantage and let the emperor know earlier about your ambitious heart.

His Majesty is benevolent, surely he will not do such a thing to his brothers

He won't listen to Huo Guang and kill me!

Protect me and lead away Huo Guang's people.

After I see the emperor, I will heavily praise you!

Is that so?

When I hear it, it does seem like a pretty good business deal.

You think that you can force me to rebel by capturing Yun Ge?

In my life, I've never been threatened by anyone!

Whoever dares to harm Yun Ge,

must die!

Go investigate. Where did that white clothed person in the palace that day come from?

Yes.

Where is the princess now?

She is imprisoned inside her residence right now.

Okay.

Take that painting of the river and present that to the Princess

Inform the Princess that I have not forgotten our ties, so she can ease her mind

Yes.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

-Greetings, Your Majesty.-Greetings, Your Majesty.

All the palace maids were changed so quickly in this room.

Huo Guang's tactics really aren't simple.

-You can all go.-Yes.

Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei! It's me!

Open the curtain.

Big brother emperor! The nanny said

that my uncle,

my daddy, my mother,

my little brother, and Miss Lan all died!

Is that true?

Xiao Mei!

Xiao Mei! Stop crying.

Xiao Mei!

I-!

I hurt you!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

Xiao Mei. You cannot cry.

Do you know why all your maids were changed?

Your mother, a member of Huo family, couldn't even protect herself.

Do you know how serious your crying is?

I cannot even protect myself.

I might not be able to protect you.

I know.

If my uncle is displeased,

he would kill me too.

I believe that he'll come see you soon.

If he asks you

if you miss your father Shangguan An, how are you to respond?

I will say

I have been in the palace since age six, and have been with them on very few occasions.

Even though I know that Mother and Father should be doing very well,

but I cannot say how they are doing well.

I do miss my mother,

but, I still feel like

the maids that take care of me are closer.

It looks like in these years,

you've learned a lot in the palace.

Big brother emperor! When will you come see me again?

Sister Yi Yue, thank you for saving me last time.

Leader, you are exaggerating.

Don't call me Leader. I gave that position to Meng Jue long ago.

There's a ceremony to pass the position of leader. Unless the previous leader suddenly died,

it doesn't count if you pass the position on like that.

Is that so?

Then when will Rock Meng come back?

He'll be here in a minute.

Have you not eaten yet?

Please go inside and sit. Let her make food for you.

You can eat while waiting for her.

-What is it?-Er Yue, hurry and take leader in.

Yes.

Your Majesty, please sit.

Er Yue, aren't you taking me to go eat?

Why did you drag me here?

Miss, a VIP suddenly came so we must take you aside.

What VIP guest? So mysterious.

Miss, this is a big matter.

You'll be in danger if you know too much.

Since it's like that, I won't ask.

Please.

Your Majesty, please have tea.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

I came out in disguise, you don't have to stand on ceremony. Hurry and sit.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I didn't know that you were coming, so I was not here to greet you.

You have merit for saving me. I thank you.

I do not understand what you mean.

Righteous people do not talk in riddles.

I've already discovered that the white clothed person who came into the palace to protect me that day

was people from your Liuxing Gang.

I came today to ask you about it.

What was your goal of protecting me?

This...

Huo Guang already sent friends and Huo Yun to come protect me.

You shouldn't be Huo Guang's person.

We could say you were Duke Yan's person,

but you saved me from within his black clothed people.

I want to know which side you belong to.

I am currently treading on royal grounds

Even though there I won't get an official rank, but I should vow loyalty with the other officials to Your Majesty.

So what you're saying is your intention is to surrender to me

I am just doing what I should do.

I have investigated your background.

As I know, you are an orphan.

Neither do you have a father nor a family name

You are a merchant in Chang An, and definitely favored by the Huo family

As for the matter this time, you should have known about the situation ahead of time. That's why you sent help.

Did your news come from Huo Guang?

-No.-Then where did your news come from?

Before natural disasters and earthquakes, rats would still be alerted to move away.

Prince Yin and Shangguan Jie have exerted such noise and power

I was originally a member of Jianghu. How could I not feel anything?

Then as you see things, is Huo Guang loyal to me?

I do not dare to make rash opinions.

Huo Minister of War may have merit this time for protecting you,

But he cherishes his power and fame

There may be some other lords at court,

so he won't be dangerous to you there.

So you can sit high and at ease.

I hate passing my days with ease.

I ascended to the throne at young age, so I have been aided by the four great ministers for many years.

Get too comfortable in this throne of mine...then I will end up no different than a lost spirit.

Actually your personal trip to come see me,

Could it be...that you want to use easing the chaos as an excuse

to regroup the royal court's strength and power; and to form your own people in there?

To stand off with the powerful officials?

Not bad. I need someone like you by my side.

What title do you want me to give you? I can do whatever you wish.

If Your Majesty can be a good emperor, that is my greatest hope.

Do you have no requests because you are unwilling to help me fight against the lords of the court?

Actually I've already offended Huo Minister of War.

So if at this time your Majesty is to reward me, I'm afraid that will shake his thunder

Therefore this issue of bestowing me a title, we should be patient

Okay. Then as you wish.

Anyway, I owe you a title. Whenever you need it,

you can come find me through Yu An.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Yu An. Do you think I can use Meng Jue?

Responding to your Majesty, I think that Meng Jue does not appear to be what he seems

His true heart will be revealed in time.

This person is definitely ambitious and also daring

If I can use him, it is the people's good fortune.

What? You resigned me from the Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant?

Don't panic first. Sit down first.

How can you make a decision without asking me?

Then let me ask you.

Why did you become a chef at the Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant?

To make money to pay you back.

But I said you don't need to pay me back.

I don't want to owe you anything!

Okay then.

Come with me.

You're not letting me be a chef at the Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant. Why did you bring me up here to be blown in the wind?

I'm treating what you said at Uncle Feng's as real.

Uncle Feng's? I said a lot that day. How can I know which one?

It's what he asked you. Think over it carefully.

Then, are you going to follow Xiao Jue?

No.

It's not me following him or him following me. We'll be together.

We'll walk our future path together.

I said all that according to Uncle Feng's wishes.

It doesn't count.

Okay. The previous things said don't count.

Let's start again then.

Yun Ge.

We've been together for so long.

You should understand my heart.

I want to marry you.

What nonsense are you saying?

Did you know?

From the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you.

The person I love,

will never change.

Yun Ge, do you know what it means for a girl to gift shoes to a boy?

Okay, then I'll take it. You must remember.

My father told me the meaning of a promise.

This is the promise I make, I will definitely keep it.

Once I grow up, I'll definitely come find you. You must wait for me!

Okay! Let's let the stars be our witness. We cannot break our promise!

-The stars as our witness, we cannot break our promise!-The stars as our witness, we cannot break our promise!

Yun Ge. Marry me.

Okay?

has already long been Sister Xu's husband.

Even if I want to keep the promise from childhood,

I can't even anymore.

Thinking about it repeatedly,

I am really tired.

Rock Meng truly cares for me so much.

What else can I ask for?

I don't know.

Go ask my father.

If my father says yes,

then I can.

Okay!

Then I'll pretend like you said you will.

♫ Meander upwards and there happiness will be. ♫

♫ Worry not over who leans on whom. ♫

♫ Once it begins, it will not end. ♫

♫ The song in the clouds accompanies him on the journey. ♫

Tied up hair, tied hearts.

♫ Declare all of your love. ♫

Yun Ge, if you want to cook food,

let's just cook in our own home.

I'll let you invite friends to eat in our home.

I don't want you to be a chef in the Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant.

I don't want you to show your face everywhere and attract unwanted attention.

Promise me, okay?

Then how about we invite Bing Yi and Pingjun to eat our home tonight?

Why?

Because they are your big brother and sister in Chang'an.

I want to tell them about us.

Sir. The Huo messenger is asking you to go over there.

Please.

Old Master, Sir Meng has come.

Greetings, Minister of War.

Nephew Meng.

Sit.

After the night of Princess Uyigar's birthday celebration,

It seems like you are more quiet than usual.

You continuously did not go out to find people to talk with.

You didn't come to my residence either.

What?

You don't want to do business in Chang'an anymore?

It looks like nothing escapes your eyes.

My eyes only focus on talented people.

Meng Jue. If you don't want to do business,

-what do you want to do?-I want to work for the people.

I just knew!

You are an ambitious young man.

This ambition is the right fit for my desire.

Cheng Jun is the daughter I love most.

It is rare that she likes you so much.

If you could enter the Huo residence,

I will naturally help you with whatever you want to do.

I've already made things very clear with Ms. Huo.

She and I are not possible.

That was before the princess's birthday celebration.

You are most clear on the current situation.

Who can really fly to the top?

I ask you to come here today to listen to you talk about

what you think in your heart. Or else

the great ambition in your heart, can only be

a simple dream in the end.

Yun Ge. You are Chang'an city's chef.

You have to cook for lowly me from now on.

Would you think that it's a shame?

What shame is there?

I kinda admire a housewife like you more than being an Emperor.

What nonsense are you saying?

How am I as good as the emperor?

You have Brother Liu.

As long as you can be together with the person you love every day and have children with him,

and you can watch the sunset with him every day. Days like that,

even though it's simple, but thinking back on it, it's a sweet time.

Sister Xu. What's wrong?

Nothing.

Are these vegetables enough?

It's enough. I'll take it out first.

Brother Liu, are you at odds with Sister Xu?

There's nothing wrong with us.

But I've seen Sister Xu unhappy for many days already.

Has your brain turned to wood from working too much?

I'll go see her.

Sigh...

What are you thinking about?

During these days, I've always wanted to ask you something.

Do you not want this child?

Why would I not?

Then after you heard I was pregnant, why weren't you happy?

It's not that I don't want the child.

I don't dare to have this child.

It's because of your identity,

because it has to do with Prince Wei?

I don't want to drag you two down.

Ever since I met you, I never cared about your identity.

If I was afraid you'd drag me down, I wouldn't let you marry me.

I understand your heart.

I want this child too.

But I don't want the child, after it is born,

to be like me.

Living every day in fear.

I don't want him to-

Okay.

Then after the child is born, I'll take him away!

-What are you saying?-I'll never come back again!

Don't go!

I belonged to your Liu family long ago!

How could you push me away at a time like this?

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

You aren't wrong.

It isn't your choice to be of the Wei family.

But! You made it through all of this, didn't you?

Bing Yi, I believe,

that you can take care of me and the child.

You must trust in yourself too!

The days of the past,

just forget about them.

No matter what happens in the future,

I,

and the child,

we must be together.

Okay?

I promise you.

I will definitely protect myself.

And our child.

Yun Ge?

I am preparing to go out to buy some vegetables and meat. Let's eat dinner together tonight.

Didn't you just prepare a few good dishes?

Who is coming tonight for the need of such a special occasion?

Today it will be you, Sister Xu and then Meng Jue for the four of us

Brother Meng and you are planning to treat us to a dinner ?

Why you are exerting such efforts...

...it wouldn't be because there is something important to announce, is there?

Wait for tonight and you shall found out

Yun Ge tell me am I right about good news from you both?

Not saying more ! Gonna go buy groceries now

Hey did I guess correctly?
