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

Song lyrics translated by Musicindividual

♫ 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 20

Ah Fu.

Don't cry, don't cry.

It's not that I don't recognize you.

I didn't recognize you because I had my bitter reasons.

What is a bitter reason? Is it as bitter as a bitter melon?

It's even more bitter than bitter melons.

Then you are very pitiful, Big Sister.

Your Majesty, the empire is at peace and the people are happy.

Your Majesty, you have the people's respect.

It's just that you have yet to have a child. It makes us worry.

We ask that you consummate your marriage to the empress and produce royal children.

It will stabilize our great Han's foundation.

Your Majesty, royal children have to do with our dynasty's long standing power.

Your Majesty, you are still young.

Your servant thinks you ought to broadly admit beautiful women, fill up the imperial harem, to extend continuously the Royal heirs.

Your Majesty, we ask you

broadly admit beautiful women, fill up the imperial harem, to extend continuously the Royal heirs.

broadly admit beautiful women, fill up the imperial harem, to extend continuously the Royal heirs.

I will consider your advice.

This matter, wait until after the grand ceremony before discussing.

If there isn't anything else, let us disperse.

Disperse!

Your Majesty, let me be bold.

The lords' words today are not unreasonable.

You stopped them today, but what about the future?

You have to face the problem of royal children sooner or later.

Stop talking about it.

Your Majesty, I have words that I must say today.

In so many years,

you preserved your purity for Miss Yun Ge.

But-! You are the ruler of a country, you must first stabilize the country.

If the King and Queen can bear fruit, that's the best way to stabilize the country.

Your Majesty, can't you even just pity and give importance to the Empress' feelings towards you?

I told you to stop talking!

Even if Your Majesty wants to punish me,

I will still have to say it!

All the lords spoke together today because of Huo Minister of War!

If you still refuse to consummate your marriage to the empress,

then Huo Minister of War

will definitely say that the empress failed in her duty

and make all the lords force you to take other women.

When that happens, Huo Minister of War will successfully

send Miss Huo into the palace.

Isn't that harder on you than Empress Shangguan?

All you've said,

have I not ever thought about them?

Get up.

I'll think about this some more.

What is it?

Come. Sit down first.

This child is too naughty.

It kicked me multiple times.

Let me hear.

Bingyi, do you hope that it is a girl or a boy?

Does it matter?

The most important thing is that our child needs to be safe.

Did you know? I had a dream last night.

I dreamed that I held a tiger to my chest!

I think this child must be a boy.

If it is a boy, how about we call him Hu Er?

Hu Er?

It's masculine and sounds nice.

But it's better to let the elders name it. That way the child will get good fortune.

But such a good name as Hu Er, will use it as his nickname.

Hu Er, you must grow up well. From now on, you have your mother and father to love you,

as well as your Uncle Meng Jue and Aunt Yun Ge.

I wonder how Yun Ge is now.

You're thinking of Yun Ge?

Yes. I wonder if she's doing well.

Brother Meng, why have you come so late?

I've found Yun Ge.

Something happened to her.

But very soon, I will bring her back.

I think she will be very happy to see you two.

Chief Eunuch Yu.

What have you come for?

How is Yun Ge's illness?

Have the palace's doctors run out of things they can do?

Miss Yun is the emperor's woman. You don't need to worry.

Remember. You are covered in crimes. If the emperor wasn't kind, I would have taken your life long ago.

If I really wanted to rebel, you might not be able to stop me.

Okay. Then let us have a battle today.

Wait.

Chief Eunuch Yu,

I only want to ask you one thing today.

What is it?

Do you really hope that the emperor will be together with Yun Ge?

Your Majesty's state of mind cannot be interfered by just anyone.

Huo Minister of War and all the lords of the court pressured the emperor to consummate his marriage with the empress.

This thing is only advantageous to Your Majesty and will not bring any harm at all.

Chief Eunuch Yu, you've always been loyal to the emperor.

About this thing, you surely is also worried for Your Majesty.

If I can really make Yun Ge come back to me,

the emperor will fully give up.

Then he will finally sleep with the Empress and stop all the gossips and stabilize the country.

Isn't that good for everyone?

Miss Yun, I made you Lian Zi soup. Have some.

Who is it?

Thank you, Chief Eunuch Yu.

I'm not helping you. I am just doing this for the emperor and the empire.

I brought her here. We'll have to see what you do next.

I hope you can do what you say and persuade Miss Yun to leave with you.

Why is it like this?

Could it be...?

Speak. What happened?

Your Majesty, please punish me. Last night I went to the library to give Miss Yun some some, but I was suddenly knocked out.

When I woke up, I couldn't find Miss Yun anymore.

Yu An! Bring the guards here!

Ask them how they guard!

Please punish me, Your Majesty.

Mo Cha, you can leave first.

Yes.

Why are you asking for punishment?

Your Majesty, I was the one who brought Miss Yun Ge to Meng Jue.

-You-!-Your Majesty, since the royal doctors and Miss Bai He cannot heal Miss Yun's illness,

and Meng Jue says he is Doctor Mo's eldest disciple.

Why not let him give it a try? Only this way can Your Majesty focus on the matters at court.

You are very daring!

Your Majesty! Only this way,

will you not be pressured by the lords anymore.

You-!

It's you again?

What do you want now?

I want to cure your illness.

I want to help you find your past memories. Look at this place.

You lived in this place for a long time after coming to Chang'an. Do you remember?

I don't remember.

I don't remember anything.

Let me leave.

If I let you go, where will you go?

You want to return to his side?

It doesn't matter where I want to go!

Since you've lost your memories,

why are you only afraid of me?

Am I just a bad person in your eyes?

Trust me. Give me a chance.

I will definitely cure you. I'll let you remember all your past memories.

If you don't say anything, I'll pretend like you agreed to it.

Let's go. I'm taking you to a place.

♫ The green flowing skirt drifts in the wind. Yet when I extend my hand, nothing. ♫

We came here in the past.

Do you remember anything?

And also this damaged swing.

During the time when you lost your memories,

I've come here countless times.

I don't believe that we will end just like this.

There are some things that if broken,

can never be fixed again.

Everything in the past, keeps on replaying in my sight.

I don't believe

that you can erase all memories of me.

Yun Ge. My love for you is real.

♫ Yet when I extend my hand, nothing. Tears in the corner of my eyes are among the clouds. ♫

♫ Once I reminisce, they follow the wind. ♫

Your Majesty. You haven't had any water or eaten food for two hours.

I am really scared.Your Majesty, please sit for a while.

-Mother! Mother! Mother!-Crown prince!

-Crown prince! Don't make a noise, don't make a noise!-Mother!

-Mother!-Crown prince!

If the price of being the emperor is to lose my mother, the person I love most,

It will make my life a living hell!

A living hell!

Crown prince!

Your Majesty.

I know I was wrong.

Your Majesty, please give me a chance to make up to it.

Your Majesty. I'll go send someone to find Miss Yun right now.

I promise,

I will definitely bring back Miss Yun in perfect condition.

Yun An. How I passed these years,

you know better than anyone else.

Yun Ge, is a person that cannot be replaced.

And you, are also the closest person to me,

as well as the person I trust most.

Your Majesty. I know I was wrong.

I was temporarily muddled. I'll go find Miss Yun right now!

Yun Ge!

You've been running away during these days, unwilling to face me.

That means your heart still has me. You haven't forgotten me!

I don't know what you're saying.

I've already taken your pulse. Everything is normal.

Do you still need to pretend you don't recognize me?

Stop talking.

Alright then. I'll take you to see your Sister Xu.

She misses you so much.

I'll see how you can bear to pretend you don't recognize her!

Yun Ge! Stop pretending, okay?

Give me a chance! I'll use the future to prove to you,

that my heart for you is real!

Once the heart is shattered, repairing is useless.

Yun Ge!

Yun Ge! Careful!

Stop it!

Chief Eunuch Yu?

Why have you gone back on your word?

I've given you a chance. But looking at things now,

Miss Yun Ge isn't leaving with you willingly.

This matter will finish here.

Stay behind for now.

-Yes.-Yes.

-Brother Emperor.-Xiao Mei.

I heard that someone kidnapped Sister Yun.

Is that true?

Yu An has already brought her back.

It's good that she's alright.

Something so big happened. You must have been very worried!

How about, let's bring Sister Yun to live inside the palace?

This way, I have Sister Yun to accompany me in the palace

Second, you don't have to keep missing her.

Thank you.

But we should look at what Yun Ge wants.

Only the outer plains have these ingredients.

Are you so sure?

I grew up in the outer plains. I know these things better than anyone else.

My mouth is all dry from talking today.

Okay, then let me pour you some tea.

You know how to make tea?

I also do not know how to farm but I was able to learn it.

I can try making tea.

Then since it's like this, let's start from making a fire.

Okay.

Delicious.

Come, let me do it.

Mo Cha, Yu An. It's rare that your young master made tea. Come have some.

-This...-Your mouths should be dry from smiling.

Thank you Miss for giving me tea. I will slowly enjoy it outside.

Thank you, Miss Yun Ge.

Yun Ge. If you are not willing to return to Meng Jue's side, then stay.

From now on, with me here,

I won't let you suffer alone anymore.

Chief Eunuch Yu, your young master's hand got burnt.

Hurry and bring some medicine for him.

Yes.

Do you have something to tell me?

Did you know long ago that I pretend to have amnesia?

Then why didn't you say so?

Since that time at the cloth dyeing shop,

when you accidentally called me Brother Ling,

I understood everything.

I also understood the pain in your heart.

So I thought that if pretending to have amnesia would make your heart feel more at ease,

then I am also willing

to stay with you like this.

Brother Ling,

I am not worth you treating me this way.

The heavens let us meet again. Thatmeans our fate hasn't ended yet.

Yun Ge. I hope that you can truly consider once.

Stay, alright?

I...

Xiao Mei, you really like your Brother Emperor?

Because I'm his wife.

Brother Ling, you are the ruler of a country. You have a lot of responsibilities you cannot push away.

But this is not what I want.

Besides,

I don't want to hurt Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mie likes you a lot too. She'll understand.

No.

Brother Ling. Let me think about it some more, okay?

Sister Yun, don't just always stay inside the library. I had someone make a particularly fun thing.

-What is it?-I'll bring you to go see!

Sister Yun, look!

Sister Yun, do you not like such a pretty swing?

I thought all girls like them.

It's not that I don't like it.

It's just...

What's wrong? You don't want to play on the swing with me?

No. I think your swing is decorated very nice. Very pretty.

Let's go!

Sister Yun, you come too! If you swing like this, it's like you're a goddess flying!

Miss Yun, you should come too. I'll push the swing for the two goddesses.

Come!

My head is a bit dizzy today, I do not dare to go on a swing. How about I push you?

-Come.-Since your body is unwell, I won't force you.

Are you ready?

Come!

Go!

-Do you want to go higher?-Okay, higher!

Higher!

Flying!

Go!

-Empress!-Empress!

-Xiao Mei!-Empress!

Xiao Mei, are you okay? Where did you get hurt?

Your hand is bleeding!

The hand is bleeding!

You poisonous woman! You must have purposely planned to make the empress fall!

Brother Emperor...I'm very obedient..

-I know...-Imperial Physician Zhang,

didn't you say that a small wound isn't a big deal?

Why is the empress's condition becoming more serious?

Your Majesty, it was indeed fine in the beginning.

But...this wound turned so serious.

I think the Empress was poisoned.

The empress was poisoned?

-Greetings, Your Majesty.-You may rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

The imperial physician said just now that the empress was poisoned?

What was she poisoned by?

I am useless. I can only secure the important organs and keep the poison from spreading.

-Please punish me.-Who was so daring?

They dare to poison the empress?

The empress went out of the palace to find Miss Yun to play on the swing.

But no matter how the empress asked, Miss Yun wouldn't go on the swing.

Later, Miss Yun was the one who asked to push the empress on the swing.

Miss Yun was pushing hard and the Empress swing very high.

Then she fell down and became like this.

Then saying this, Miss Yun is the most suspicious.

Your Majesty. You should put Miss Yun into the prison cell and interrogate her to find out what poison was used.

The empress and Miss Yun have always been on good terms.

Miss Yun has no reason to poison the empress.

The swing's rope's break point was very neat. It looks like as if someone used a sharp object to cut it off. I think that

Someone must have put poison and then framed Miss Yun.

Your Majesty protects Miss Yun so much.

You are clearly intentionally biased towards her.

I've already ordered MIss Yun to be arrested and ordered someone to watch her. You don't need to worry that she'll be able to escape.

Once the matter becomes clear, we can convict her then.

Right now, is there something more important than saving the empress?

This-!

Your Majesty is wise.

Imperial Physician Zhang. Is there a better way to deal with this situation?

My education is shallow. I ask that Your Majesty look for someone outside the palace who is skilled in poison.

Don't worry.

I can only do that.

Just what poison did the empress get poisoned by? They have to ask outsiders for good doctors? Even Doctor Zhang couldn't' do anything.

Who would know what to do?

Who is this? He dares to rip a royal poster?

Maybe he does have skill!

Can he really cure her?

This is the one who has courageously self-proclaimed that he can cure Your Lady Highness.

I am Meng Jue. Greetings, Your Majesty.

Please get up.

That day in the prison fire, didn't you already-?

Your Majesty, this person has been accused of killing a member of the royal family of the Ti Clan.

He also escaped during the prison fire. He is guilty!

You should immediately capture him for his crimes!

Minister of War,

I am not the real person who killed Batu Xing. Chief Eunuch Yu can be proof of that.

Actually, someone wanted to send me to my death. I could only escape from prison,

to find my innocence.

What nonsense!

Minister of War!

Since he has a guarantee that he can heal the empress,

do you not want to first save the empress?

We can pursue anything after the empress is healed.

Your Majesty, please look.

At the finger tip of the Empress, there are traces of powder.

This is a rare poison. It has no taste or color, making it difficult to be discovered.

I will write a prescription to help the empress neutralize the poison.

How did the culprit poison her?

Your Majesty,

come with me to the scene of the crime.

and we will know the truth.

Your Majesty, this is the poison powder.

Then, someone knew that the empress and Miss Yun would come play on the swing here.

So the poison was placed first on the rope then the rope was cut. The poison is hidden under the flowers

That's why no one discovered it.

From the way it was planned,

The person probably wanted to poison both the empress and Yun Ge.

That is kililng two birds with one stone.

Both of them had poison powder on them.

If either of them get a wound, the poison will immediately enter the body.

Even if the other person didn't get hurt and wasn't poisoned,

they cannot avoid being connected to the poisoning.

Mr Meng has dispel the uncertainty in my heart. Your medical skills is still more exquisite.

It really makes people admire it.

This poison, where did it actually come from?

This poison is a poisonous weed which grows in the surrounding area of White Longjiang country.

It's extremely rare.

Only the Di Clan's people* actually understands it uses.(*name of an ancient tribe)

Since the poison comes from outside tribes, this matter has nothing to do with Miss Yun Ge.

Those who have connections with those tribes

will be unable to escape connection to this matter.

Your Majesty.

I heard that this Miss Yun has stayed in Chang'an for a while under the name of a chef.

That is enough to prove that her heart is not that simple.

Besides, it is more suspicious that no one knows where she comes from.

We cannot be sure that this matter has nothing to do with her.

That's not difficult to do.

As long as we find out who Batu Suo metwith after coming to Chang'an City,

there will be results very soon.

Your Majesty, now that you mention it, I suddenly remember

Your Lady Highness once prevented Ba Du Suo from publicly questioning their clan member's death during the banquet.

Then, Huo Minister of War, you are saying that Batu Suo has hate for the empress in his heart,

so he decided to poison her?

The royal villa is protected by the soldiers Yu An sent.

Even masters of the Di tribe cannot easily go in and out.

Someone must have connections on the inside.

I will definitely add protection and discover the true culprit.

My Lord, can Meng Jue really cure Xiao Mei's illness?

He not only cured Xiao Mei's illness,

he also found the way the culprit poisoned her

and acquitted Yun Ge.

That Ah Zi really didn't do her job well!

Wife, what is going on?

My Lord, I didn't discuss this matter with you first

I was afraid that you have lots of things to worry about, hence, I endured it alone.

Since Xiao Mei cannot stand on our side,

and cannot obtain the emperor's favor either,

the best method is to make her

and that mysterious woman,

be finished together. That way,

our Cheng Jun can smoothly enter the palace.

Doing this,

would it not be too dangerous?

That day, Batu Suo, out of thanks,

that you helped him get rid of Meng Jue,

he gave me some of the Di tribe's poison powder.

What I didn't guess was that Meng Jue's life was so good and was able to escape.

But in the end, he still ruined my plan.

He really makes me angry!

Right now, not only did we not succeed,

but the emperor is still on the same side as Meng Jue.

He wants to pursue the killer with connections to the Di tribe.

It has actually pulled us into a bad position instead.

Haven't Batu Suo and his people left Chang'an long ago?

Even if the emperor wants to investigate, he might not be able to find some good evidence

As I see things, the emperor just wants to prove Yun Ge innocent,

as if to intimidate only.

Cheng Jun is right. You do not need to be too worried.

Right now Meng Jue is clearly working against me.

He's really become our Huo family's big trouble now.

What Meng Jue has done today,

it was all to save the person he likes.

Today, the emperor may be on his side,

but they still love the same woman.

So, we don't need to be afraid

that we won't get

a chance to use another's sword to get rid of Meng Jue.

Cheng Jun, don't you think so?

Since Meng Jue didn't die,

that proves that the heavens don't want him to die so easily.

I will personally watch him

live a living hell.

Since you cured the empress, I should reward you for your deeds.

Just tell me what reward you want.

A consultant

You just want to be a small subject like a consultant?

-Yes.-Why?

This is my long-cherished wish.Hope Your Majesty can allow it.

I understand.

I will allow you to immediately take your post.

Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave.

Wait a second!

I've seen your medical skills.

You once said that you were Doctor Mo's eldest disciple. Then Miss Bai He is your junior sister.

She's currently poisoned by a difficult to treat spider poison. Since you are of the same sect,

please go see her to cure her poison.

Then where is Miss Bai He now?

at miracle doctor Mu's mountain residence.

I live here for some time every year.

When I am free, I like this place most.

In the morning, you can admire the autumn scenery.

While yellow leaves fall and go,it makes me remember the color of the desert.

At night, I can admire the stars in the sky.

In these years, I didn't improve a lot in other things.

But I did look a lot into constellations.

Azure dragon of the east

Horn of the wooden fox

Neck of the golden dragon

Root of the soil raccoon

Room of the sun rabbit

During these years,

I've actually also often sat on my roof to watch the stars.

Each star recorded my thoughts and yearning.

I just didn't think that the day I waited for would turn out like this.

Ten years are not easy.

The most important thing is,

we still met again in the end.

Yun Ge, the things that recently happened,

I think you've seen my situation as well.

I didn't want this throne.

But it's something I can easily give up.

I have the world, but no freedom.

It's like when Xiao Mei entered the palace.

I hope you can forgive me when I have no choice in things.

Brother Ling, I didn't blame you.

I hope you can stay.

But I also fear that the fights in the palace will hurt you.

Perhaps in the future, something like today's matter will happen again.

I continuously ask myself,

how am I to protect you well?

I am not worried about my own safety.

It's just...

why must you be the emperor?

I'm still me!

No matter in the past, now, and in the future,

I am still your Brother Ling.

The very far Star of the Cowherd (Altair in modern constellation), the bright Star of the Weaver Girl (Vega)

Even though they are located in opposite ends,but they are allowed to meet once a year.

And I,

waited ten years for you to reappear.

Because my heart had this hope,

that gave me power to face the court's conflicts and fights for power.

Pull up, hook up, in a hundred years, you're noet allowed to change!

The one who changes is a little pig!

Yun Ge. Do you know what it means for a girl to give a boy shoes?

I'll come find you when I grow up. You must wait for me.

Okay! Then the stars will be our witness, we won't break our promise!

I always treasured these embroidered shoes you gave me.

Because it represents our promise in this lifetime.

I really,

really want to be selfish once!

Yun Ge, let me use my ten years to exchange for one of yours.

After one year, if you still want to leave,

I will return these pearl embroidered shoes to you.

And happily wish you good fortune.

This way, will you still not agree?

Yun Ge,

I can only temporarily let you live here.

This palace is closest to me.

It's safe, and also convenient for me to come see you.

Do you think it's good?

Then can I go around the palace?

Of course, you can. As long as you bring 1 person with you and inform Yu An about it.

Who do I need to bring?

Besides Mo Cha to serve you,

Yu An can also arrange an old friend for you.

Yu An!

Greetings, Miss Yun!

Hurry and get up!

-Miss Yun. -Fu Yu! I'm so happy to see you!

Miss Yun, since that day the Kwang Lin Prince released the dogs to bite us,

In front of danger, you still let me leave first.

I have always remembered this favor.

I always hoped that there will be a day when I can repay you!

How can you say that? Why do I remember that you were the first to protect me and Sister Xu?

-Fu Yu.-Your Majesty.

You and Mo Cha are the people Miss Yun trusts most.

You two will take care of Miss Yun from now on.

Yes.

Yes.
