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 15

Can you let Yun Ge come be with me a lot?

-You've seen Yun Ge?-After she saw my special technique,

She kept following me around.

She said there was good wine and good food

to exchange with me to be my disciple!

She's seen your sneaky thief skills and also know that I'm your disciple?

Yes, yes! She asked a lot about you!

I think she cares a lot about you!

So I told her everything!

Temple

Big Sister Xu.

If I had to say what there was for me to value in Chang'an City,

you are the only one left.

I got this safety charm for you just now.

It can protect you to give birth smoothly.

And safely.

You're not thinking of leaving us and Chang'an!

What is going on with you and Brother Meng recently?

I originally thought that I could be with Rock Meng forever.

We could go travel the world.

Just like my parents, loving for their whole lives.

But later I realized that he is a swan that is yearning to fly high up in the sky.

He will never be satisfied staying put in my little villa.

But I saw that his good for you is true!

True?

Ever since he thought of ways to get close to me, he's never been true.

I regret not being able to be by your side to watch the child be born.

This is what I'm leaving for the unborn child.

You must tell him.

Yun Ge, I really hope

that you can stay to hug him.

Big Sister.

You must take care and be happy.

You must!

You've really decided to leave?

How about you give Brother Meng another chance?

Big Sister Xu, can I ask you to do one more thing?

Say it.

Don't tell Brother Liu that I'm leaving Chang'an.

I hope that he won't have to worry for me again.

After I leave, you can tell him.

I can do as you wish on this matter.

However, when you leave, let me see you off.

I know you truly treat me well.

That's enough.

What are you doing here instead of going to accompany your beauty from the Minister of War?

Where is Yun Ge?

What are you looking for Yun Ge for?

Now the entire Chang'an City knows about you and Huo Chengjun!

Have you not hurt her enough?

Just tell me where she is!

Yun Ge said that she will leave Chang'an.

You can enter the Huo family in peace now.

So, from beginning to end you were just using me.

I was so foolish.

I was just a chess piece in your hand.

Yun Ge, oh Yun Ge.

I cherish you more than even myself.

How could I leave you

and choose Huo Chengjun?

♫ Tumbling in the mortal world, going around in circles. ♫

♫ In my eyes, I only have you, looking towards me. ♫

♫ Let me finish telling you about my love. ♫

♫ Let my heart call out loudly. ♫

♫ I will even entangle myself in six levels of reincarnation. ♫

♫ I will never let you feel lost all alone. ♫

You really came here.

I hurt you too deeply.

You want to forget all the memories between us.

You aren't willing to take anything with you.

♫ Do not fret over whether it is good or bad. ♫

♫ Your love is what I depend upon, ♫♫ Without you, this world is pale ♫

♫ Even if it all turns into dust, ♫

Chang'an City.

A place that I counted stars every night at home

and waited painfully alone for ten years to come to.

Perhaps I should have left long ago.

But why?

Now I still cannot bear to go.

Did you hear? A big happy event will happen in Chang'an City soon!

Are you talking about the General's residence?

That groom to be sure is lucky.

Who doesn't know that Miss Huo is Chang'an City's most beautiful woman?

Now that money and beauty is obtained; and from now he can rely on Huo Family strength and power, later he's going to fly on up the sky!

From what I can tell the manager of Tang Tang Store is also not a regular person.

To let the Minister of War put him in his eyes and serve Miss Huo perfectly, he must not be simple!

Yun Ge?

Why are you drinking here alone?

Come, customer, enjoy.

Come, Brother Liu, I'll drink a cup to you.

I originally wanted to drink with Sister Xu.

But she's currently pregnant, I can now only celebrate by myself here.

Come! You've come just in time.

Drink with me.

Yun Ge. Don't drink anymore.

Is there some pain in your heart?

You can tell me.

The most happiest thing since I came to Chang'an is to be able to see...

No...

Is to be able to meet

you and Big Sister Xu.

I'll leave first.

Yun Ge. Yun Ge!

Customer, you haven't paid for the wine yet.

-Come.-Go slowly.

Yun Ge!

Brother Liu, I'm sorry.

Back then because I was trying to find you, so I came to Chang An. I didn't expect all these things happening.

All because I was surprised by the turn of events. (idiom)

In two days, I'll be leaving.

But I have no way of telling you I'm leaving.

I'll say goodbye to you like this.

Minister of War come in!

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

You can rise. Minister of War, please sit.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Sure enough a happy occasion is near. Minister of War's face is filled with rosiness & brightness. An air of propitious filled in your aura.

I have to congratulate you

for gaining anothe ideal son-in-law.

Such a big happy event has already spread all through Chang'an City.

Your Majesty you are so busy every day, yet you care so much

about everything inside and outside the palace.

I am impressed.

Mister of War is an important minister at court.

Position is high and important.

Family's happy occasion is just the same as the country's happy occasion.

I definitely need to congratulate.

I am honored.Thank you for Majesty's care.

I wonder, what did you come here to report today?

Your Majesty, the land grabbing activity of the nobility this year has worsened.

The citizens that lost their land are pushed to become

landless peasants.

This condition improved a little with the government reducing tax.

But there's not a long term resolution yet.

What do you think?

I suggest that we should form a new plan for land distribution.

That's why the past few days I have came up with this plan.

Please take a look, Your Majesty.

I am willing to lead the officials of the royal court to come up with a new strategy and plan.

To help and lessen your stress for Your Majesty.

With Minister of War helping me, I feel grateful.

The country is based on the citizens, and the land is the base for the citizens' life plans.

For us to know the good and bad clauses in our land reform law, we have to understand the real situation of the citizen.

Listen to the citizens' opinions.

The royal court's administration just wants the citizens' lives to be stable.

It's really not needed to make a big move to ask for public opinion and

and to listen to them express their ideas.

Besides, the lords of the court

are all well educated talents.

How can those village farmers and people who don't know anything compare?

The plan for land distribution made by the royal court

The ones who take it are the people.

We can't lose the common people's sentiment, and the public opinion can't be neglected.

Hope that Minister would not feel fed up with these bothersome problems and with the other officials to proceed with my orders.

The real public situation and opinion must be sought.

We must make sure that we really are making people's lives better.

This...

Yes.

I accept the order.

Lord Father, haven't things in the court always gone as you said?

His Majesty is being too much today!

He is clearly making things hard on you!

He wasn't even thinking about if it wasn't for your help in all these years,

how could his throne be so stable?

Why are you always this rash and careless?!

Danger comes from speaking. (idiom)

If someone gets an advantage against us,

there is no guarantee trouble won't come upon us!

Father, now the Shangguan family is finished and you have all the power!

Royal court doesn't have any that can go against us, the Huo Family.

What is there to be afraid about?

Stop.

What are you carrying?

Minister of War, this is the medicine for the miss.

How is she?

The miss fell into the river by accident, so the doctor prescribed medicine to calm her.

Okay.

Be more careful when you take the medicine bowl from now on. Don't let Father and my brothers see you.

Yes, miss.

-Minister of War?-You can go.

Yes!

Daughter.

Tell me. You were perfectly fine.

How did you fall into the water?

It's like this.

I was enjoying the scenery on a boat with Meng Jue,

but I accidentally lost my balance and fell.

Since Meng Jue asked you to go out with him,

he should protect you all the time!

Meng Jue was the one who saved me.

He brought me back here and watched over me all night too.

Meng Jue cares a lot for me!

Since he cares so much, I already mentioned marriage to him.

This is what others can't even ask for!

But he continues to not respond.

Just what has he not thought about?

As I see things, Meng Jue has already had a change of heart.

Dad, I'm sorry,

Meng Jue is muddly headed this once.

He hasn't thought it through.

Cheng Jun, such an important matter

How can you conceal it and not say it?

Now, Meng Jue marrying into the Huo family,

within the city, the news has been spread like wildfire, even the Emperor knows.

If this matter does not go through.

Then where will our family pride be?

Dad, Meng Jue is a smart person.

How about you give me a bit more time, I'll go pursuade him.

- He will understand.- It's becasue he's smart.

If I couldn't acquire him for our use

He will definitely be our enemy.

Dad, I beg of you.

Don't harm Meng Jue.

I beg of you.

My Lord, you just rest.

Drink this soup to soothe your anger.

Thank you, Wife.

Today at court, you were angered by the Emperor.

I heard Yu Er talk about it.

There is no one by the emperor's side that we can trust.

In addition, he is still young. He has limited experience, he won't be a threat.

From what I can tell, he is only currently having a sense of power. No need to be too worried.

No.

It's not that simple.

The Emperor grew up and his wings are hardened now.

It isn't easy to serve him.

In the palace we still have Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei still hasn't consummated her marriage with the emperor.

The empress might be highly ranked, but she has yet to bear a child.

So, she cannot gain the emperor's favor.

It's a shame. Cheng Jun's heart is still with Meng Jue.

Or else, if Cheng Jun enters the palace,

you will be like a tiger having wings.

We can only blame that Meng Jue. Watch how I'll deal with him!

I still haven't found Yun Ge. It looks like she really went back to the outer plains.

Yun Ge. Wait for me.

Once I've finished everything at hand, I'll come find you.

Yes.

What is going on?

Sir Meng, this is the present the Minister of War specially had given to you.

It's the grand present to prepare for you entering the Huo family.

Go and tell the Minister of War.

I will come personally in a few days to thank him.

Sir, what should we do now?

Huo Guang gave me a present, which is also his way of pressuring me.

Now that things have come to this, it would be best for me to personally go and make things clear.

Hurry and do what I told you to do just now.

Yes, sir.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty. This is the letter Meng Jue had sent to you.

Today at 3, Meng Jue wants to meet me by Gangquan palace.

I think there is something important to discuss.

I will go meet him.

This-

Your Majesty. Meng Jue is of the Liuxing gang.

We still haven't fully investigated these Jianghu people, and he has asked to meet you secretly outside the palace.

I ask that you think again.

Meng Jue is a rare talent. I need someone like him by my side.

I must take this trip outside the palace. Go prepare.

Yes.

Your Majesty.

I have one more thing to report.

There is steward called Fu Yu.

He originally served the eldest princess.

But because he offended Kwang Ling Prince, he was sent to the main palace.

This Fu Yu once told the other servants that the person wounded that day is the Elegant Chef.

Also, this chef people call Sir Zhu

is actually a young lady.

Haven't you seen that chef before?

I failed in my duty.

This chef is called Sir Zhu and was dressed as a man at that time, so I didn't realize it at that time.

I am very curious about this chef.

Before seeing Meng Jue, let's go to the Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant first.

I want to see this chef.

Old Master, Sir Meng has arrived.

Greetings, Huo Minister of War.

Please sit.

Sit.

Nephew Meng, the taste of this tea

Do you like it?

This tea has a very clear appearance.

You can smell an elegant and clean fragrance.

Just by its appearance and scent, it's already deemed one of the best in tea quality.

This tea is indeed of high quality.

However, if it's not cooked with high quality wood,

not boiled with dew and sweet spring water, and not served with Blue porcelain cup.

Even greater tea

would not taste as great.

Nephew Meng, why don't you drink to see?

This tea is also Cheng Jun's favorite.

You know that Cheng Jun is the daughter I love most.

I hope that in the future, you can

make tea for Cheng Jun every day.

If you can be good to her,

I can definitely help you become

the best wood.

The best water. The best cup.

I can definitely make you become the best cup of high quality tea.

I thank you for your heavy love.

It's just I am not smart enough.I don't know much about tea culture.

I am afraid of harming the miss's mood.

I originally thought you were intelligent.

Didn't think you would show no understanding of the circumstances. (idiom)

Also, fail to appreciate kindness. (idiom)

I'm unworthy of Minister of War's kindness; and I hope Minister of War would forgive me or my shortcomings.

I repeatedly forgave you, but you continue to fail to appreciate kindness. (idiom)

You went and got close to Cheng Jun first.

Now you change your mind once you saw something new (idiom) and turn against me.

What have you done to Cheng Jun?

What have you done to the Huo family reputation?

Daddy.

Mother was afraid there wasn't enough fire, so she told me to send some more over.

Greetings, Sir Meng.

Seeing that your body is well, Miss Huo,

I can feel at ease.

Forget it. I'll give you three more days to consider.

After three days, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer.

Sir Meng. I've thought things through.

Men who do big things won't only have one woman.

Daddy is like this. My older brothers also have multiple wives.

If,

If you really like Yun Ge,

I am willing to accept her.

The wind is strong here.

Please stay behind.

What? You are willing to let him have a concubine,

and he still didn't agree to it?

This is too much!

Cheng Jun,

now that things have come to this,

stop being trapped in love.

You should think about the Huo family and your future.

The emperor is too much!

He sent back your request to see him!

Completely ignore our Huo Family's contributions!

He doesn't even think about it! This great Han still has his throne

because of so much of our Huo family's efforts!

Why don't we think of a way to shake up his drive and spirit?!

There is a good chance right now.

I got a secret message just now.

The emperor is leaving the palace tonight.

Why isn't there anyone here?

Sir. Is there something that made the restaurant close today?

-Then let's go.-Yes.

Customers, please wait.

Sir, you are lucky to come today!

My restaurant is

making new dishes today. I guarantee you'll like it.

Then I'll have to bother you to give us some signature dishes.

Please, sir.

Boss.

Sir, is there something you need?

Was this made by the chef?

This...

I won't keep it from you. The chef resigned a few days ago.

The new chef isn't bad either.

I thought it was strange. The Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant always had such good business, but it was suddenly so empty.

So, it turns out the chef was changed.

Customers,

the new chef isn't as good as Yun Ge,

-but he is pretty good. I hope that you--Yun Ge?

Who are you saying is Yun Ge?

The chef's original name was Yun Ge. The outsiders call her Sir Zhu.

-Where is she?-This...

I don't know either. I heard she went back home.

That's right. Leave her and go right until you hit a dead end and find a Madam Liu.

Perhaps you can find out where Yun Ge is.

Sir.

-Who are you looking for?-Does Madam Liu live here?

Yes, she lives here. Her home is over there.

Wait a second. She isn't at home.

-We'll wait for her.-Okay, please go that way.

Sir, it is very hot here. Why don't I send you back first?

I can wait here.

No. I want to stay behind and clarify things.

-What is it?-Two people are looking for you.

-Take this for me, thanks.-Okay.

Hello. Are you Madam Liu?

Who are you looking for?

We want to know if Miss Yun Ge lives here.

Why are you looking for Yun Ge?

My young master is her childhood friend. He wants to see her now.

I've known Yun Ge for almost a year.

I've never heard her mention other friends in Chang'an.

Is this the first time we've met?

Why do I feel like you're so familiar?

Is that so?

I don't think you're a bad person. I'll tell you.

Yun Ge has already returned to the outer plains.

If you knew her before, you should know where she lives.

Back to the outer plains? When did that happen?

Within these few days.

Yu An, let's go.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, please stop!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, I dare to ask you to think again!

I hope Your Majesty will think of the country first.Please let me

send you back to Gangquan palace first. We'll think about finding Miss Yun Ge later.

-Move aside!-Your Majesty,

Didn't Madam Liu already say so?

Miss Yun Ge has already left for some time, we cannot catch up to her even if we chase after her now.

Are you going to chase her to the outer plains?

A country cannot spend even one day without its emperor!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, Miss Yun might still be in Chang'an City!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, no one knows better the me the pain with which you missed Miss Yun Ge during these years.

But Your Majesty, as the emperor of your country, you cannot stop caring for your country just for love!

Your Majesty!

If I am to let the world laugh that you are an emperor infatuated with beautiful women, I'd rather die right now!

My death's not important.But Your Highness,

Are you not going to care for the throne that your mother sacrificed herself for?

Your Majesty. You agreed to meet Meng Jue at Gangquan palace today.

You can make it in time if you go now.

Big brother, you should be really bored without me with you.

I used to think that Chang'an City was my dream.

I traveled long and far to pursue it.

What I got in return was repeated heartbreak.

I regret being so stubborn and leaving without telling you.

I miss you all so much right now.

I miss my parents, Ah Zhu, the wind & sand of the desert, and the cottonwood trees at my house.

Don't worry. I'll come find you very soon.

Stop!

Protect the emperor!

Looks like there are others who know of the emperor's movements!

And set up an ambush here.Everything started because of me.

I cannot just stand by and watch!

Sir, everything is in chaos now.

If you rashly run in and are mistaken as an assassin, it would be difficult to wash yourself clean!

Sir, Yi Yue is right. I think that Chief Eunuch Yu is pretty good at fighting. He might not lose.

-Your Majesty, are you alright?-You must leave someone alive.

Yes.

Why is it Yun Ge?

Stay here!

-Your Majesty.-Move aside.

Is your injury severe?

I am alright. Thank you for your care.

-What about you?-I'm okay.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

You are the guys secretly trained by Eunuch Yun called Hidden Warriors Squad?

We will give up our lives to serve you!

It is all thanks to you tonight. Is there anyone left alive?

No. The last assassin committed suicide, we couldn't stop him in time. Please punish us, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, we cannot stay here long. Please immediately leave.

Wait for Chief Eunuch Yu to come back.

Yes.

Yun Ge!

Yun Ge!

Yun Ge!

Yun Ge!

-Sir!-Sir!

Sir!

Sir, the emperor has safely left the meeting spot.

Did you catch the assassins?

I saw Chief Eunuch Yu chase someone dressed in black.

That person dressed in black was Yun Ge.

We must find her before Yu An does.

Yi Yue, stay behind to keep looking.

Si Yue, go down the mountain with me to look.

-Yes.-Yes.

Miss Yun!

Your Majesty. I caught someone alive.

Let's go back to Gangquan palace.

Yu An!

You always ruin my plans!

One day, I will definitely let you taste

this hacked to pieces feeling!

And will let you pay for this debt with interest!

Your Majesty. The assassin is injured and fainted. I had the doctor go see him.

Wait until the assassin wakes up, then we will interrogate him again.

As I see things, to be able to know all of my movements and arrange assassin in such a short period of time,

there is only one person.

But he

did not really want my life.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

How is the assassin doing?

The assassin was hit in the back with a knife and is unconscious. I have already stopped the bleeding.

When I was putting the medicine on did I realize

that the assassin was a woman dressed as a man.

Your Majesty. I remember that a few of Meng Jue's subordinates are women.

Yu An. I want to go interrogate that assassin right now.

Yes.

Go and guard outside. No one is to be allowed in.

-Yes.-Yes.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, this is the assassin.

Who are you?

Why did you have to attack me?

It's her?

Why is it her?

-Your Majesty.-She is the one who treated my rashes,

Doctor Mou's disciple, Miss. Bai He

Miss Bai He?

Then, she knew your identity long ago.

That's why she wanted to get close to you to harm you.

I don't believe that Miss Bai He can be an assassin.

Find her a clean room.

Let the doctors treat her well. I'll interrogate her after she wakes.

Remember,

you cannot harm her.

Yes.

Yun Ge, I didn't even know that you came to Chang'an.

And became a chef too.

Just where are you now?

If I asked to see the chef earlier, the two of us

would have met long ago.

Your Majesty. I sent someone last night to the place where Meng Jue wanted to meet.

But we didn't see any trace of him.

Meng Jue used your trust in him to make a plan to attack you,

he is so despicable!

I cannot think of a reason why Meng Jue needs to attack me.

Besides, it was on the way to meet him.

He is so smart. He would not make such a mistake.

Your Majesty. You like smart people, I know. But this has to do with your life!

Before there is concrete evidence I cannot rashly move against Meng Jue.

Also,

Your Majesty, I have already sent people along the path to the outer plains

as well as have people take note of any news of Miss Yun Ge in Chang'an City.

Please do not worry.

-You can go.-Yes.
