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 Yun Ge from the Desert

Episode 16

Yun Ge!

Sir, we've searched the whole mountain since last night and we haven't found her.

There isn't news about an assassin being caught from the palace either.

Perhaps Miss Yun already escaped.

I'm afraid Yun Ge is hurt. I want to search some more.

Sir!

Woah.

Sir, a large group of palace soldiers came to the front of the mountain.

I think they came to investigate last night's attack.

If they know about your movements,

they will definitely think you are involved with the assassins.

By then, a hundred mouths can't explain it away.(means: hard to explain oneself).

Let's leave.

You two can go.

Stop!

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

Your Majesty is wise.

I definitely did not do anything against you.

Please trust me, Your Majesty!

Meng Jue. The emperor went out because he was going to meet you!

But then he ran into an attacker's ambush!

The timing was such a coincidence!

It definitely has to do with you!

It might have been leaked that His Majesty was leaving the palace!

Those who have ulterior motives,

used this opportunity to attack.

And then they pushed the blame to me!

Your Majesty, please investigate things thoroughly!

Get up to speak.

I will only ask you one thing.

What did you have to say to me when you arranged to meet outside of the palace?

I truly did have something important to say to you.

Previously, I was a guest at the Huo residence. When I was about to leave, I saw a servant

give a letter to Huo Yu.

The servant said "This is from Lord Batu."

Soon after it was given to Huo Yu, he was dismissed.

After Huo Yu received the letter, he carefully left.

I thought the situation was odd, so I paid attention to it.

I would have never thought that the Huo Family would have secret contacts with the Di-Bu royal lineage.

And so, I secretly followed Huo Yu's movements.

After investigating,

I can be sure

that those people in black were not from the Central Plains (where Chang'an is)

I suspect that Huo Yu has always been secretly exchanging information with outsiders.

Perfectly, the 18th of next month is the empress's birthday.

According to the usual norms, a lot of foreigners

will send people to give their blessings.

I am afraid that someone

might use this chance to do something terrible.

I originally wanted to immediately inform you,

but I was afraid that there were Huo family spies in the palace,

so I dared to ask you to meet me outside the palace.

Who would have thought, those misfortunate people's plan was to assassinate Your Majesty.

and put the blame onto me.

Meng Jue. Even if you are not the main perpetrator, we cannot say this has nothing to do with you.

This all began because of you. You can avoid death, but

you cannot avoid punishment.

Your Majesty. I know

that it would be difficult for you to believe me just based on my word.

I ask that you let me investigate this matter.

I can bring merit on top of my crimes.

I will give you a chance.

Don't ruin things ahead of time. Avoid letting member of the Huo family notice

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, you cannot trust Meng Jue.

If Meng Jue and Miss Bai He wanted to work together to harm me,

they had chances on the mountain that day. Why would they have to wait until now?

Perhaps, Meng Jue want to wait and see, between you and Huo Guang, who will survive.

He is just waiting for the right chance.

I never believed that Meng Jue would be loyal to me.

I just cannot tell, that by killing me,

what good benefits he can get from that.

Or it could be that the one who planned to assassin you was Meng Jue.

He's a thief crying "stop thief", in order win over Your Majesty's trust.

Scheme to pursue a government post.

From this social position, soar to the wings of the cyclone (i.e. rise steeply).

Even if he has all his plans set up,

I will use this chance to see how much he can do.

So much fish!

Father, Mother.

What is with the injury on your arm?

Father, I-

Do you know what terrible mess you've made?

I just can't stand how His Majesty ignores our family.

That's why I wanted to use this chance to get rid of Yu An!

I wanted the emperor to lose a good helper!

And to receive a lesson!

Do you have a brain or not?

You've made such a big mess.

Father, please do not worry. All the assassins are dead.

There is no one left alive. Nothing will be connected to me!

Who allowed you to privately meet with the close relative to the emperor of the foreign tribe.

-I...-You thought no one knew.

Could you trick me?

How many times have I told you?

As a son of the Huo family, no matter what you do,

you have to think about our Huo family's long standing reputation!

The emperor did not get injured this time,

But he will definitely pursue this matter!

Based on what are you saying you can avoid connection to this issue?

Even if he wants to investigate this matter,

he will definitely attack Meng Jue.

He was the one who wanted to meet the emperor outside of the palace. Naturally, he is the most suspicious!

Before you went, did you think about why Meng Jue wanted to meet the emperor?

This...

My Lord. The thing to fear now is

Meng Jue might find some bits and pieces.

He might know that we secretly have connections with outside tribes.

It's possible he could use this to attach himself to the emperor.

What I've worried about is going to happen.

Yu Er, from now on,

he has to do exactly as I arrange.

I have a guarantee

that he will be washed clean of the matter.

F-

Listen up!

From now on, stay inside the house!

Do everything as I arrange!

If you do even a little against what I say,

I will definitely not spare you!

Also you!

From now on, keep to your place, both of you.

Hurry and go.

Yes.

Yes.

Wife.

What good plan do you have?

What did you add inside the bucket?

This is the Madam's special order. Please hurry and take a bath.

It's hot! You are very daring!

Please punish us, eldest young master!

Yu Er. All the things done now are to help you.

Even if it's even harder to take,

you must endure it.

Go away!

Sir. I still haven't found Miss Yun.

There is no news from within the palace.

I'm afraid...

-Miss Yun she--She'll be alright.

I just don't know who saved her.

It's possible that the emperor captured her thinking she was an assassin.

And then blocked off all the news.

Then what should we do now?

If the emperor really captured Yun Ge,

there is still a small chance of survival.

It's just that I'm still not cleared of suspicion yet.

I cannot go search for news of her.

The most important thing now

is to quickly investigate the assassination attempt.

And see if it has to do with the Huo family.

Sir, there really has been movements within the Huo residence.

At this time, the Huo Family dare to not avoid doing anything suspicious, but anxiously call doctors to enter and leave.

Has Huo Guang already come up with a plan?

Not good.

It looks like I have to personally go check on Huo Yu's injuries.

Hurry and come! There is an assassin!

Sir Meng!

That way! Hurry!

-What is going on?-We discovered that someone sneaked in.

Is the young miss okay?

Miss? Hurry and go look!

Miss! Miss! Someone sneaked in, are you okay?

I'm okay. Tell the Madam that I'm asleep.

Yes.

The miss is okay. Go check over there.

Yes. Let's go!

It's okay now.

Why did you have to help me?

Didn't you come here in the middle of the night to investigate my older brother's injuries?

I can help you.

However,

in the future, you must help me do one thing too.

You owe me that.

When did the eldest Sir Huo fall ill?

He wasn't that great when he woke up yesterday morning.

He lay in bed all day.

All the famous doctors of the city have come here.

But they haven't been able to find out why he is ill.

He's become even more serious tonight.

I'm so worried.

Do you have the medicine prescriptions from the doctors?

Let me see them.

Wait a moment.

Look.

There are no problems with the doctors' prescriptions.

It can help his illness.

It's just possible that he may need to rest for some time.

He cannot get out of bed for now.

Since it's like this, let's not bother his rest.

Sir Meng, you can go back at ease now.

Chief Eunuch Yu, you personally brought medicine here.

I am so thankful.

I will personally thank the emperor for his grace when I enter the palace

Lord Huo, please stay here.

Go well.

Looks like we passed this round.

We will not be suspected in the assassination incident.

Chief Eunuch Yu.

Chief Eunuch Yu, that you left the palace, I think the emperor must already know about Huo Yu's serious illness.

This way, it'll be even harder for me to escape suspicion.

If you cannot find evidence to prove your innocence,

I definitely will not go easy on you.

Chief Eunuch Yu!

I want to ask you something.

Were there any left living among the assassins?

If there really were people left alive now,

how can you be left to wander free here?

That assassin who sneaked in last night,

who do you think it was?

It was Meng Jue.

Cheng Jun, you...?

Father, Mother. Actually, I made my own decision.

I thought that Meng Jue would definitely be suspicious of big brother's injuries,

that's why he wanted to come take a look at things. So, how about using this chance

to first get rid of his suspicions, and let him spread the news.

That would be a good thing.

You've already let him go.

Forget it.

Yunge.

Have still not found Yunge?

Hasn't she come back?

No.

Don't say I'm scolding you.

When Yunge was here, you didn't cherish her.

When she left, everyone wants to find her.

Everyone want to find here?

What's that meant to mean?

Bingyi...

and two quite strange people.

What do they look like?

There is a very simple person with white hair.

The other is a high class young man.

Yunge, could you know

This Ginkgo tree, I've planted it for you.

It's already been ten years.

I'm waiting for you to appear.

Big brother emperor!

-What is it?-This is the lotus flower I just painted!

I wanted you to enjoy it with me.

Why did you draw a closed lotus flower?

I feel that a lotus flower is most beautiful when it is closed.

If it can find a person who likes flowers to enjoy it,

Honesty won't fail to live up to it, Flowers will do all it can for an understanding friend.Beauty is a particular affection.

Big brother emperor.

In a few days, it will be a special day for me.

I want to ask you to enjoy flowers and talk with me.

There is a lot going on recently. My head hurts a little. Let's talk about it another day.

You don't feel well? Then we must summon an imperial physician!

There's no need.

I will be okay after some rest.

Your Majesty.

I have to go to Gangquan Palace today. There is something important to take care of.

How long are you going for?

I ask that you return before the 8th, okay?

If things go well, I will return earlier.

My Lord, I know Yu Er is always in your heart.

You always hope that he can do grand things.

But he always makes me angry.

He's indeed anxious to show off, that's why he makes mistakes.

I don't have many high hopes for him now.

My only hope is that he doesn't bring trouble to me.

Cheng Jun may be smart, but she is still a girl.

And now, she brings trouble to herself for love.

She always makes me sad.

My Lord, I once brought our Cheng Jun to predict her future.

They said that our Cheng Jun

has the fate of an empress.

Then, do you already have plans?

As long as Cheng Jun fully forgets Meng Jue,

she can still do something grand.

That person is intelligent, but he is too ambitious.

Unconventional and unrestrained.

And he played with our entire Huo family in the palm of his hand.

My Lord, how do you intend to deal with Meng Jue?

He cannot be spared.

Miss, the Madam has come!

Madam.

Mother, it's so late, you still aren't asleep?

Cheng Jun.

Treat this soup like Mapo soup, and drink it.(Mapo soup is what dead souls drink to forget their past life)

After you drink it, completely forget Meng Jue.

Start anew.

-Mother.-For your future, I have already

prepared an even better choice for you. You definitely won't be disappointed.

Yes.

Isn't that the foreigner who has ties with Huo Yu?

You are a murderer, let's see where you will run to! Forward!

Minister of War. As you thought,

Meng Jue has already been thrown in prison.

The assassin has finally woken up.

Miss Bai He. Why did you have to attack the emperor?

The emperor?

I..I don't know the emperor.

Your mouth is still stubborn?

Looks like you won't admit to it without some pain.

Come! Tie her up and return her to the prison!

-Yes.-Yes.

Imperial Physician, hurry!

Chief Eunuch Yu, we found this in the forest near the assassins.

Look at how it is covered in blood. It must be from the assassin.

Open it and see what useful evidence is inside.

Yes.

Chief Eunuch Yu, look at this!

Sir, I've never seen you like a dish so much.

Reward him.

This is a reward from our sir.

Isn't this the money the emperor rewarded to the chef?

Why is it with Miss Bai He?

Your Majesty.

Our chef,

her original name is Yun Ge!

What else is in the parcel?

Your Majesty. There is also this flower scent bag.

Does it hurt?

I think I smell lilies.

Are you talking about this lily scent bag? This comes with me everywhere!

Bai He and the chef is the same person!

She is the Yun Ge that I've waited for for ten years!

My Yun Ge!

Brother Ling!

Brother Ling...

Brother Ling! Brother Ling!

Brother Ling...

Brother Ling...

Rock Meng. Rock Meng!

Rock Meng!

Rock Meng! Rock Meng!

Rock Meng!

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me!

Rock Meng!

Rock Meng!

Don't worry.

I won't leave you again.

I won't let you leave me again either.

What is this place?

Why am I here?

You were very seriously injured. You have to rest well.

Do you know who I am?

Liu Chang Feng.

Why are you here?

Don't talk first.

The doctor said you have to cultivate your body well.

I remember someone said

that I tried to attack the emperor.

But I didn't!

I haven't even seen the emperor!

Okay okay. That was all a misunderstanding. I have already explained it to them.

You don't need to worry.

I am here.

I will protect you well.

Just what has happened to you after you come to Chang'an?

Why were you sometimes the chef,

and sometimes Bai He?

I hope you can get better soon.

From now on, just let Brother Ling protect you.

I won't let you be harmed again.

The imperial physician said Miss Bai He-

No, Miss Yun Ge's injuries are not light.

Since the sharp sword pierced her lungs.

Even if she fully recovers, she will still..

Will still what?

Will result to an incompletely cured illness, with night coughing.

She will also easily catch colds.

It is all my fault.

Not only did I fail to notice earlier that she was Yun Ge and protect her well,

I also let my own soldiers seriously injure her!

I have no way of forgiving myself!

Your Majesty. This matter,

is all my fault. I don't understand why she would appear with the assassins.

That's why I accidentally hurt her. It is my wrong doing.

I cannot blame you.

If you didn't bring Yun Ge back,

perhaps she may have already returned to the desert this time.

And perhaps, she may have been seriously injured with no one to care for her.

Then in my life,

I'm afraid I would never have a chance to see her.

If I could,

I would rather it be me who was injured!

Your Majesty! This is only my wrong. Please punish me!

You are not wrong if you didn't know otherwise. Get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty. From now on,

even if I have to give up my life,

I will still fully protect Miss Yun's safety.

I've decided to keep Yun Ge at Gangquan Palace to rest.

I will also stay to personally take care of her.

-But, Your Majesty!-Right now, nothing is more important than Yun Ge!

I've already made my decision, you don't need to say anything more.

That's right. Don't let Yun Ge know my identity for now.

Just like before I realized she was her.

Be like in the past, call her Miss Bai He.

Don't scare her.

Also,

don't let anyone know of her existence.

That includes the empress.

Yes.

Your Majesty. I have one more thing to report.

Speak.

The Dibu prince, Batu Xing was killed inside Chang'an city last night.

The person who killed him was apprehended at the scene.

Who was so daring?

Meng Jue.

Imperial Physician Zhang.

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

You do not need to stand on ceremony. Get up to speak.

-Thank you, Your Majesty.-Thank you, Your Majesty.

Imperial Physician Zhang, how long will it take for this young lady's injuries to fully heal?

This lady's injuries are not light, she needs to rest in bed for a long time before she can recover.

-It's just...

No matter what, you must heal this lady's injuries. There can be no repercussions resulting from them.

My talents have limits. If we can find that doctor who lives outside the cities that they call Bian Qu reborn,

this lady's illness should be fully healed.

Are you talking about divine doctor Mu?

Your Majesty, you know about this person too?

I have heard about divine doctor Mu as well.

I will send someone to go find divine doctor Mu.

You only need to treat this lady's injuries.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What is it?

Do you feel unwell again?

Come, drink the medicine.

Perhaps you'll feel better.

Don't move. I'll feed you.

You don't need to.

I can do it myself.

You're still feverish. Hurry and lie down to rest.

Brother Liu, thank you for taking care of me.

Previously, you healed my rashes.

It's only right that I take care of the injured you now.

I only hope that your injuries can quickly heal.

I also hope that I can hurry and get better.

I sure am unlucky.

I was supposed to return to the outer plains.

But then I ran into two groups of people killing each other on the way.

Then I was pulled into it all.

Your home is in the outer plains?

Why did you come to the Central Plains alone?

My story is very long.

Can I not talk about it?

Okay. You don't need to say it if you're not willing.

You just need to relax and let your wounds heal.

Another day, I'll tell you my story.

That day behind the mountain, we promised that. Do you remember?

I'm sorry, I didn't keep my promise.

After that day,

a lot of things happened.

They made me not want to stay here.

That's why I forgot our promise.

I'm sorry.

It's alright. Don't you still remember now?

I trust that you are a person who keeps promises.

What is it?

Do you feel unwell?

I suddenly feel like

you are very similar to someone.

Who is it?

A person who married Big Sister Xu,

and went far away from me.

What married Big Sister Xu?

There must be a misunderstanding.

Forget it.

I don't blame him.

I also have another in my heart.

Now that it has come to this, we don't have to keep any promises anymore.

Okay okay, stop talking.

I'm tired.

Then get some rest.

Once your injuries heal,

let's talk then.

Why does his gaze

look so similar to Brother Ling's?

That's not right. Brother Ling is Big Brother Bingyi.

What nonsense am I thinking?

I also have another in my heart.

The two of us, don't have to keep any promises anymore.

Go!

-Hurry up!-Not so hard!

Go in! Go in!

Stay here!

My surname is Zhou. My name is Quan.

My surname is Meng.

Since we are in the same cell, we can count it as fate.

Someone come! Hurry and come!

Open the door!

Meng Jue, what's wrong?

Chief Eunuch Yu!

Move aside!

Hurry and prepare a horse for me!

Do as he says.

Yes!

Chief Eunuch Yu, I'll have to trouble you with seeing me off.

Meng Jue, I came to protect your life on the emperor's orders.

Never thought you could be this deceitful.

I didn't kill that prince. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not.

I will see you again very soon.

At that time, the truth will definitely come out!

Meng Jue!

Xiao Jue has come?

Any news on Yun Ge?

What's the rush? Come over and talk slowly.

Pour wine for him.

You all can go first. I'll come find you again when I finish talking about serious matters.

Give me a kiss here.

Come, kiss!

You can go.

Ever since I received your notice, I already sent people

to investigate all the way to the outer plains.

There was no sign of Yun Ge. It looks like she didn't return to the outer plains.

I helped you search the entire Chang'an City!

I didn't see any sign of that girl at all!

You cannot even protect your own life. Why are you caring about a woman?

The emperor isn't a fool.

He will trust me.

I don't know if the emperor will trust you or not.

In any case, the old fox Huo Guang won't easily let go of you.

What a bunch of useless idiots!

My Lord, please be calm! I will immediately go find Meng Jue!

Father! Let me go capture him!

Even the emperor knows you are ill! You still dare to go out to let people suspect you?

You cannot go anywhere within this time!

Yes.

This painting is so detailed!

Xiao Mei, this is our present for your birthday.

Thank you Grandma, thank you aunt.(on the mother's side)

Your Highness, the emperor is so busy. Has he had the time to come see you?

The emperor comes to talk with me and tell me stories whenever he is free.

Xiao Mei, has the emperor not slept with you yet?

Xiao Mei, we are of the same family.

I will be straight with my words.

There are three thousand woman in the Inner Palace. The emperor may love you very much,

But,

If you want to become a true empress,

you must make some effort. The hearts of people in the Inner Palace are cunning.

Your personality is innocent.

Must guard against, a single influence, powerful orphan,

I have the emperor's love.

I also have grandfather's support. I am already very satisfied.

That's right. On the 8th, I want to invite you to come in to drink some wine at my birthday celebration.

-That day--We will definitely come on time.

Closing Song: 雲天外 - 陸毅 Beyond the Clouds - by Lu Yi

♫ The sea of bitterness knows no borders. Turn around; there’s the shore. ♫

♫ I don’t dare to turn around, afraid that you will scatter and leave. ♫

♫ 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. ♫

♫ My love endures, too quickly. ♫♫ In a moment, I am beyond the clouds and the sky. ♫

♫ Don’t throw it away so easily. ♫♫ Do not fret over whether it is good or bad. ♫

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