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. ♫

♫ Sometimes meeting and parting, life and death, wither with honor. ♫

♫ 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 17

Things really didn't go outside of what Xiao Jue expected.

Good morning, Chief Eunuch Yu.

Good morning, Chief Eunuch Yu.-Good morning, Chief Eunuch Yu.

Greetings, Empress.

-Rise, Chief Eunuch Yu.-Thank you, Empress.

Chief Eunuch Yu, how is the emperor's illness?

The emperor is afraid that you will worry,

so he specially sent me over to tell you of his safety.

His Majesty just caught a cold.

He will be resting in Gangquan Palace for a few days.

Please do not worry, Empress.

It's good if the emperor is alright.

I just decided to personally bring him back to the palace.

You've come just in time. I'll go with you to Gangquan Palace.

You Highness, His Majesty is afraid you'll get tired rushing around.

So he especially sent me

Request Your Highness to stay in the palace and arrange the birthday banquet should be suffice.

I'm not tired, I'm just worried about His Majesty.

I promise Your Highness,

I'll definitely bring His Majesty back into the Palace before the 8th.

Ok then, I'll have to trouble Yu Zongguan.

Don't worry Your Highness, I'll take my leave.

Chief Eunuch Yu.

You little rascal, still currently so boldly strutting about here.

I'll see where you're going to run to today?

Haven't I been here just waiting for you?

What purpose did you bring me here for?

This person died after his throat was cut by a knife.

That's obvious, do I need you to point that out?

But the person who killed him is not an average person.

The killer is left handed?

Correct.

Then...someone else killed him.

We only know now that the killer is left handed.

But the person we really need to investigate is the person pulling the strings behind the killer.

What ideas do you have?

Hurry and say it.

If we want to know who is pulling the strings,

I will have to trouble you to take me back to prison.

Brother Ling...

Brother Ling!

I'm here.

What is it? Does your wound hurt again?

Rock Meng...

Rock Meng!

I hate you! Rock Meng, I hate you!

Rock Meng?

I want to go home.

Yun Ge, sleep.

I'll play you a song.

It sounds so nice.

What? Batong Xing's wound that killed him was done by a left handed person?

Precisely.

Since the killer isn't Meng Jue, you can let him go.

Your Majesty. Meng Jue asks you

to bring him back to prison again.

That kid probably knows that the perpetrator's goal is him.

The most dangerous place is the safest.

-Do as he says.-Yes.

Is there anything else?

Your Majesty, the empress's birthday party will be here soon. She ordered me to come ask after you.

She wants to ask if you will take a trip back to the palace.

I got it.

I have something else I want you to go do.

Go see if Meng Jue is a frequent customer of the Seven Mile Fragrance Restaurant.

Yes.

Did you sleep well last night?

Last night in my dreams, I think I heard a flute.

It felt very familiar, and my heart felt at ease.

I don't know where that flute sound came from.

I like lilies the most.

I feel more energetic smelling this clear scent.

I just knew that you'd like it.

How did you know?

Do you remember that I once told you

that you remind me of an old friend?

She likes lilies too.

You still miss her?

In these ten years, she's always been in my heart.

I have never forgotten her.

After she knows, she'll definitely be very moved.

Is that so? Will she?

Trust me.

But...after we really meet,

what if she doesn't recognize me?

Then tell her.

No.

I want her to feel me herself.

She must recognize me herself.

Why don't you ask him yourself?

He doesn't even remember me. How do I ask?

Perhaps...he has Big Sister Xu.

Perhaps, he's not like how I imagined.

What is he like in your imagination?

I feel like he should recognize me.

He should...

I don't know how to say it either.

Brother Liu.

Just who are you?

I'm your Big Brother Liu.

You always give me a very familiar feeling.

Is that so?

This feeling,

another person once also gave me that feeling.

Perhaps I put my feelings for him onto you.

Who is he?

Perhaps I've gone silly from being sick. I don't know what I am saying either.

Sir, the hour has come. You must hurry and return.

I have something important to leave a few days for.

She is Mo Cha. She'll take care of you from now on.

If you need anything, just tell her.

Hello, Miss Bai He.

Then I'll leave first.

Take care of yourself.

Is this good?

It looks so nice!

Seeing how the world and the people are so peaceful,

my hard work hasn't gone to waste.

The Empress is very generous.

She has the people's love and the emperor's favor.

To become a woman like this, who knows how much fortune she must have built up in her past lives.

The glory in front of others turns to heartbreak behind it all.

If one day, I become the emperor...

you will definitely be the happiest empress.

What nonsense.

How do I have the fortune for that life?

Give me happiness when you become emperor in your next life.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

-Get up.-Thank you, Your Majesty.

The Empress has requested Your Majesty to her quarters for a chat.

Go tell the empress that I have something important at hand.

I will go see her later.

Yes.

I've longed for you for so long. I've finally waited for you to come back.

Didn't I already tell you?

As long as I have time, I will definitely come see you.

I know you are busy but...

you don't know how much I miss you!

There was no news from you as soon as you left!

Didn't I already come back?

Then promise me.

In the future, no matter where you go,

you have to tell me and not make me worry!

Okay. I got it.

Then hug me!

Big Brother emperor, how did I do?

Very well. I haven't seen you for a few days and you have improved greatly.

I am happy if you are satisfied.

I'll take you for a walk somewhere.

Where?

-You'll know if you come with me.-Okay!

Big Brother emperor, look!

Does it look nice?

You personally planted this tree.

I do not know why you planted it in the palace,

but I am just like you, I especially like this tree!

Dressing it up is like dressing up myself.

I hope you can like it as well.

You need not decorate the tree.It's naturally beautiful.

I know you have used your heart in this.

However, I like the original even better. You got it?

Your birthday will be here soon. What present do you want?

I hope you can plant a tree for me too!

Are there any other choices?

Can you not, like planting this tree,

plant one for me too?

I'm sorry, Xiao Mei.

You should think of something else.

Since it's so hard to get a present from you,

then I can only want the moon from the sky.

Xiao Mei, aren't you making things hard on me?

You don't understand anything. Then I'll go back to my room.

Madam.

-You can go first.-Yes.

Mother.

Why have you come?

I came to see how your preparations are going.

I'm just about done.

Wear this.

Didn't Empress Wei give this phoenix hairpin to you?

You can't even bear to wear it yourself.

Because this is only worthy of my daughter wearing it.

Cheng Jun.

Today is the empress's birthday.

You must present yourself well.

Make the emperor, after he sees you,

have no one else in his eyes.

Yes.

Meng Jue, if I really become the emperor's woman,

will you regret it?

Miss Bai He, you are looking much better.

Do I?

Miss Bai He, the emp-

If the Sir knew, he'd definitely be very happy.

Mo Cha.

What does your Sir do?

I can only secretly tell you, Miss Bai He.

Our Sir is a very amazing person.

As a servant, I cannot say anything else.

Why's there so much firecracker noise outside?

What is it today?

It should be the firecrackers released because of the Empress' birthday.

The empress?

No wonder it's so festive.

I really hope the empress can be healthy and live for a hundred years.

The current empress is not only young and beautiful,

but is also kind and treats others well.

I hope the emperor can value the empress well.

How do you know the emperor doesn't value the empress?

Your Majesty. I wish the empress

a happy birthday and a healthy body.

I also wish our great Han

The entire country flourishes and thrives. Generations after generations are at peace.

Well said!

Thank you, Minister of War.

Open it.

I wish the emperor and empress have a hundred children and a thousand grandchildren.

Your Majesty.

Right now, the six inner palaces are so empty.

For the empire's stability, I hope that you and the empress

can make plans early.

I ask that you pick some concubines.

To bring many children to our great Han.

Adviser and Minister of War, you are right.

It was my lack of full considerations.

It is time to pick concubines for the emperor.

Your Majesty.

Today is the empress's birthday.

My daughter Cheng Jun especially prepared a dance,

to celebrate the empress's birthday.

I wonder, what do you think, Your Majesty?

Okay okay! I love watching dance the most.

-Since the empress wants to see, then go prepare.-Yes.

There is one more thing.

If Your Majesty can agree to it, then the empress's birthday

will be even happier.

Speak.

My daughter Cheng Jun, wants to ask you

to play a song for the dance.

What a good idea!

I haven't heard the emperor's flute sound in a long time!

I left my flute in Gangquan palace.

Yu An. Immediately go and bring a flute over.

Yes.

Good!

It is said that twitted waist dance makes the sleeves drops.

The song stops the dancer stops. The dancer bends and gazes back.

This evening having seen Miss Huo,

Sure makes people marvel at her.

It is indeed a good dance.

Award a white jade Ru-Yi (an S-shaped jade ornamental object for good luck).

Two strands of Chinese cedar fragrant bead bracelets.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Get up.

Next,

I want to give the empress her birthday present.

Come!

The empress once said she wanted the moon in the sky.

Today, I have picked the moon from the sky

to give to the empress.

Yu An.

Open the windows!

I like the emperor's present the best.

If the empress is happy, then so am I.

Sit.

Today is a good day!

I want to drink to the empress,

as well as everyone here.

Dibu Prince Batu Suo has come to wish the empress a happy birthday!

Today, I originally came to celebrate the empress's birthday.

But on the way, I heard that my little brother was killed in Chang'an City.

I specially came to ask the emperor for justice!

Miss Bai He.

Hurry and drink the medicine while it's hot.

Here.

Slowly.

It's still very bitter.

Bitter medicine is good for you. You will have energy after drinking it.

Out of all the girls I've seen, you're the most vivid of them all.

Don't tease me.

My wound hurts when I laugh.

Then I don't dare to talk too much.

If my Sir knew, he'd definitely blame me again.

Don't be so nervous, it's alright.

I've never seen my Sir care so much about someone.

When you were unconscious, he personally took care of you!

Is that so?

This jade flute looks very familiar.

I think I've seen it somewhere before.

That is my Sir's.

During these days, I've always heard his flute sound.

Brother Ling, I see you often holding this jade flute.

My mother gave it to me.

What word is engraved on it?

It is the "ling" in my name.

This is Brother Ling's flute.

Miss Bai He!

Today, if I don't get justice for my little brother,

I would rather die right here!

Batu Suo, talk slowly.

My head hurts so much!

Empress!

My head hurts so much! My head is going to split open!

Empress!

Hurry! Hurry and help me back!

Empress! The empress's headache illness has come again.

Let's hurry and go back to rest.

Help the empress back to her room!

Empress! Careful, slowly.

Your Majesty.

Although Batu Suo rashly alarmed Your Majesty and the empress.

But in the end, it's out of pain from losing his little brother.

His emotions are a bit out of control and lost rationality.

I hope you can forgive him,

Pardon his crime for rashly alarming you.

Again appeasing both sides. In order to avoid harming the good relationship.

The Minister of War is right.

I will leave this matter entirely to the Minister of War.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

-There is me here. You all can go first.-Yes.

Aunt, was I good at faking my headache just now?

Extemely convincing.

I just don't know if Big Brother emperor finds out,

will he blame me?

You were fixing the problem for emperor. Why would he blame you?

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

You can rise. You can go.

Yes.

Xiao Mei.

There is only you and me here. Stop pretending.

I'm sorry, Big Brother Emperor.

I wanted to help you.

Just now, lucky you act willfully and made a scene.You really did help me out.

It's just, your birthday party and present was ruined.

I feel bad.

Then I will ask you

to eat something with me to make up for it.

How would that be hard?

Your Majesty! Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Xiao Mei, I'm sorry.

There is an emergency I have to deal with.

I'll come see you another day.

Let's go.

Why haven't you left yet?

Your Majesty, I am worried about the empress's body.

I will only be at ease if I know she has fallen asleep.

The empress was frightened today and didn't eat properly.

I can tell that she is very close to you.

I still have something to deal with.

Eat something with her for me.

Yes.

Empress,

the emperor ordered me to bring this to you. He says it is to make up for last night.

This jade article, how can it make noise?

Empress,

This exquisite jade has a classical quotation to it.

Exquisite jades must be worn as a pair.

When the wind blows it'll sound.

Symbolizes two musical instruments playing in harmony. Husband and wife have deep feelings.

Congratulations, Empress.

I want to go see the emperor to personally thank him.

Empress,

the emperor already went to Gangquan Palace last night.

Strange,

why has the emperor gone to Gangquan Palace so much lately?

Gangquan Palace?

The emperor left the palace late at night...why did he do that?

Xiao Su asked people around the emperor.

They say that it seems like it's for a certain person.

What person can make the emperor care so much?

Could it be...he is going to see Meng Jue?

Meng Jue is imprisoned right now.

He should be trying to hide from the chaos.

Father.

How do you intend to deal with Meng Jue?

The emperor won't even let people touch Meng Jue.

Why do I need to do anything?

Someone will naturally go looking for him.

You are saying that you are going to use Batu Suo

Let them take care of Meng Jue. So you sit back and benefit as the fisherman.

Cheng Jun.

Do you still have that person in your heart?

Mother, how could I?

I only want to get close to the emperor now,

and become the emperor's woman.

You have investigated for so long.

Do you not even have a suspect?

I don't want to wait any longer!

I'll have to find the culprit myself. Kill the enemy with my own hands.

Suspect? It's not like there isn't one.

Previously, they caught one.

I don't know why,

The emperor give him special treatment.Each time won't agree to kill him.

Is that true?

-Your Majesty.-How are things? Why has her illness become like this, fluctuating so much?

This girl, I don't know why here liver suddenly constricted.

I'm afraid she might have suffered some shock.

If you want her to really get better, we must find what is troubling her heart and ease the knot in her heart.

A illness of the heart needs medicine of the heart.

Sir.

Do you feel better?

If you're afraid I can't find you,

then give me the jade at your waist.

Then let's go!

Let's go!

That jade piece...

Isn't that Big Brother Bingyi's?

Why does Brother Chang Feng have it too?

Could it be that there are two jade pieces that are the exact same in this world

Brother Chang Feng has Brother Ling's jade flute.

The flute sound I heard in my dreams was so familiar.

Could it be...he is my Brother Ling?

Ten years.

She's always be in my heart. I have never forgotten her for a moment.

After she finds out, she'll definitely be very moved.

Is that so? Will she?

Trust me.

But, once we really meet,

What if she doesn't recognize me?

So the person he's always been waiting for is me.

He's never forgotten me!

But not only did I mistake someone else for him,

I even gave my heart to Rock Meng!

Heavens above,

why must you torture me like this?

Should I tell him all of this?

What should I do?

What's wrong?

Do you feel unwell again?

I'll go call the doctor.

There's no need.

I just want to be alone.

Then get some rest.

I won't bother you.

I have no face to see Brother Ling again.

What you mean, you're saying

Use Ba Tu Suo and party

Let them go deal with Meng Jue.

You'll sit and enjoy the benefits of an old fisherman

Chungjun, is your heart still thinking of that person?

How can that be mother?

Right now, my only intention is to get close to His Majesty.

and become the woman of His Majesty.

Miss.

I'm fine. It's nothing.

Miss, first stop for a bit.

So it still hurts.

I'll go get you some ointment.

Time to eat. Time to eat.

Hongyi, why are you here?

There's people who wants to kill you.

I already know that.

Elder Master want me to take you away.

Put out he fire. Put out the fire. Help.

Put out the fire.

They finally came.

Put out the fire.

Let's see where you're going to run to.

My brother.

Tell me, how did you come?

You're just "may your age be as the southern mountains and your happiness as the eastern sea" big Rock Meng. (saying is usually said as a birthday wish, wishing the person a long life)

Your won't die that easily.

I went to stay in the jail, actually because I want to find out the person behind the scene manipulating things.

I won't die that easily.

He's so smart, he already knows who's the person behind the scene manipulating things

I saved him, but he's ungrateful.

But who would have thought, that someone would takes the initiative to come out and prove this.

Right?

Right, this, have a look at it.

It's her.

Behind the scenes instigate, utilise someone else to kill, this chess game, actually this move isn't bad.

But pity, his own precious daughter to upset the scheme.

Huo Chungjun deep feelings for you isn't just that simple.

This letter, should we hand it over to His Majesty to make the final decision?

Could it be, you want to hide the things that can restore your innocence.

You don't want her to be implicated.

Come, come, come, drink.

I'm so delighted. This time, thank you War of Lord for help us achieve our aim.

Come, this one is for you.

Come.

Prince Ba Tu Suo, congratulation for killing Meng Jue.

Successfully sought revenge.

Sorry.

I'm can't withstand the alcohol. I'll take my leave first.

Come, cheers.

Madame, everything has been prepared.

No!

- Stop her. - No!

Miss, it's dangerous.

- Miss. - Chungjun.

- This is my painting, give it back.- Chungjun.

This is no longer a painting.

it's your stumbling block.

Burn it.

Why are you still thinking about this painting.

Didn't vow solemnly to your parents, saying

you only want to enter the Palace and serve the Emperor.

you heart has no distracting thoughts?

Burn it.
