Love Yunge from the Desert

Episode 35

- What's your meaning?- Who allowed you to stand up?

Who told you to call me "you"?

Very impressive.

You ascended the throne by relying on my family, don't forget...

You dare to hit me.

If it wasn't to keep you alive to make you suffer

I would have, with one blow, killed you.

You want to me my woman?

Do you really want to be my woman?

Right now I will let you enter the palace.

But I will never bestow favour on you.

I want you to be in this palace

be alone until you are old.

I want you to everyday

to regret.

Everyday to regret.

Regret that you cause the death of Hong Yi.

If you were to really treat me like that,

my Daddy will not let you off,

and our Huo family will definitely not let you off.

I'm afraid of nothing

because in my life, the most important person to me has already been killed by you.

I will wait, right now

Hope that you'll quickly enter the palace,

The two of us, day and night to accompany each other.

Day and night to accompany each other.

Cheng Jun, exactly what is wrong with you?

Seeing the emperor yesterday, exactly what happened?

Nothing.

His Majesty only chatted with me about domestic trivias.

Isn't this the clothes you wore yesterday when you went to see the emperor?

Why is it torn to this state?

Cheng Jun.

- Why don't you talk?- Daddy.

Who did this to you?

Could it be His Majesty?

What did His Majesty do to you?

He said he won't touch me.

Exactly what did he say to you.

He said...

He'll draw up a decree, let me become a Jieyu*.(*Jieyu is a title conferred upon an accomplished imperial concubine).

But he'll bestowing me the title,

only to sent me to the cold palace*.(*a palace reserved for disfavoured concerts).

let me be alone and grow old.

What?

He said...

he will deal with the Huo family.

He will deal with you, daddy.

He thinks that just because he's ascended the throne

so he can do whatever he wants with us?

Daddy, he... he also

right now I'm really scared to enter the palace, but he's already sent out the imperial edict.

dad, what should I do?

Don't worry, your daddy is here.

I will not allow him to send you to the cold palace.

You are the Han Dynasties next emperor's mother.

He wants to exercise power, let see if he has that ability?

But...

Except for sending out troops,

are there any other methods that can avoid warfare?

This...

I... pay respect to Your Majesty.

Minister of War,

I thought you've forgotten I've invited all the ministers here to discuss official business.

I have something I was dealing with at home which has kept me.

Next time, when something happens at home,

then concentrate on dealing with it, no need to force yourself to come.

I thank Your Majesty for understanding and sympathizing.

Just now I'm up to...

except for sending troops to help the Princess,

is there another way?

I think that I and the frontier's leader, Ke Er Dada,

could be considered as having past acquaintance.

I'll request that he comes to the palace.

use marriage* or any other methods to avoid warfare.(*attempt to cement relations with rulers of minority nationalities in the border areas by marrying daughters of the Han imperial family to them).

Your Majesty,

forgive me for speaking bluntly,

your way of thinking is truly naive.

Since Minister of War objects to the idea.

You don't need to worry, I'll discuss our common proposal with the other ministers.

Your Majesty,

This concerns our court's decade-plus work in the frontiers.

Please Your Majesty, by no means be careless in handling the matter.

You are blaming me?

You think you can be a better emperor than I?

I wouldn't dare.

Then you can leave!

I will discuss this with other people.

Minister of War!

Your Majesty, is there anything else?

Let your daughter hastily prepare to enter the palace,

I am fully looking forward to her serving me.

I will take my leave.

Except for Meng Jue, all of you can leave.

We take our leave.

Why are you still kneeling, get up.

Sit.

Old fox.

I will not allow him to manipulate me.

In future, he still has a lot more difficult times to come.

Your Majesty,

Huo Guang's members of a cliques are numerous,

at court, they still occupy dominant positions.

In future you have to be cautions in handling matters.

With you here, you have to help me.

I'll save from worrying a lot.

Now, I only want to find Yunge.

Yunge is missing,

Liu Xun is also missing

do you think it's Liu Xun that took Yunge away?

I've already asked him.

The surprise attack on Yunge were the people dressed in black, they also made a surprise attack on Xu Ping Jun and Hu-er.

The possibility of Liu Xun taking Yunge away is not great.

I've ascended the throne for this long,

Why is the person still not showing themselves.

He carries the suspicion of having raided you and Hong Yi.

I believe he fears if he were to appear,

he would be silenced by death by those who wanted to frame and assassinate you.

Framing or not, I don't know.

But that Liu Xun,

kept his name hidden for so many years.

He's impossible to gauge.

Do be careful.

Regardless, in the matter of Yun Ge,

I'll see to it as I deem.

Big Brother,

you watch out for yourself.

That . . . tell me what you think about the princess matter.

Your Majesty, some tonic soup.

- You try it first.- Yes.

Replying to Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong.

- Dismissed.- Yes.

Tonic soups always smell.

Hong Yi, bring some haw.

Hong Yi?

It's bitter. Why is the medicine so bitter?

You're out to kill me with bitterness.

Who brewed this medicine?

I'm asking you, who brewed it?

Why are you crying?

I didn't brew it well. I'll go dump it now.

I was teasing you.

I know this is the first time you brewed medicine so I said that on purpose. It's tasty.

Pretty tasty. I was teasing you.

I was really just teasing you.

That's very dangerous of you.

Did you know I've been looking for you half the day?

Why didn't you tell me if you're going somewhere?

I find that I really hate that feeling of not knowing where you went.

I always thought you'd never leave me.

Then when you got mad and ran away, I realized,

one day you could leave me. Right?

As long as you need me,

I won't leave you.

You said that.

Then you promise me. No matter how angry you are,

you won't run away secretly.

Run to somewhere I don't know. Alright?

Kiss.

Didn't you say . . .

As long as I need you,

you would not leave me?

You failed.

Did you think I didn't know how to make an unity knot?

Hong Yi.

Hong Yi!

Hong Yi!

Hong Yi!

Hong Yi.

Don't leave me.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

What's wrong, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty, are you alright?

Your Majesty, what's wrong?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, are you alright?

Your Majesty. What's wrong, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, look carefully, I'm Liu Shun, Your Majesty.

You took Hong Yi away, didn't you?

No.

Your Majesty. Your Majesty.

Look at me. I'm Liu Shun, Your Majesty.

Give me back Hong Yi. Give me back Hong Yi.

Give me back.

Who dares to yell before my palace?

Hong Yi.

Hong Yi.

You're finally back.

I knew you wouldn't leave me.

I don't ever want to part from you.

- Hong Yi. - Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

Are you crazy? Open your eyes and see who I am.

Royal Doctor, how is the emperor's condition?

His pulse is a mess but as for why he's in this condition,

I haven't a clue.

What about Sir Meng?

I believe it's poisoning.

Before he went to bed last night, did he eat something?

He had a couple mouthfuls of tonic medicine.

This is the leftover tonic.

This tonic doesn't have any suspicious smell.

Then how did His Majesty get poisoned?

Hong Yi.

- Hong Yi. - Your Majesty.

Hong Yi. Hong Yi.

Your Majesty, this is Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue, where's Hong Yi?

Hong Yi . . . she's already deceased.

Right.

Hong Yi's already dead.

Right.

It was a dream.

Why aren't the lights on?

Your Majesty, it's daytime right now.

Empress Dowager is here too?

Why don't I see you?

Why can't I see my own hands?

Xiao Jue, why can't I see my own hands?

- Your Majesty. - Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue, I think I can't see anything.

Am I blind?

Your subject Huo Guang greets Empress Dowager.

- Thank you, Your Highness.- Rise.

I heard His Majesty crossed into Chang Le Palace last night.

Not only did he kill Liu Shun, he also startled Your Highness.

Hence, I came to check.

It was due to his illness that he lost his rationale.

I believe the matter needs to publicizing.

I didn't think you'd still find out.

If one doe not wish others to know, it is only by not doing.

His Majesty has only risen to reign not long ago.

Yet he's committed a pile of misgivings.

At present, Chang'an city

has a children's song going around.

The real dragon sinks while the fake dragon rises.

Rain drops are big causing disarray upon land of capital.

It looks like

the current emperor may not be the chosen one by above.

But he's the one you chose.

Hence even more the urgency to pull out the root of disarray.

The best plan

is to name a new emperor.

Current emperor hasn't reigned even a month.

To set another new emperor now

wouldn't that be a chaos?

Previously Yi Yin, as Prime Minister of Shang Dynasty,

for the sake of Shang Tang's world,

he disregarded personal gain or loss and deposed Tai Jia.

In order to garner the prosperous Shang Dynasty that was to follow.

His name is legendary for a thousand years.

Your Highness, you could emulate the past generation.

Make the concise decision while opportune.

I see then, Grandfather,

you already have a great plan.

For a subject to depose the emperor

is an act against the duty of a subject.

May Your Highness the Empress

make the good decision for the sake of the people.

Then in your opinion,

who is the one who can shoulder the succession?

Crown Prince Wei's eldest son, Liu Xun.

Then I shall

write the decree to depose Liu He

and have him return to Changyi, live under house arrest the rest of his life.

Have him return to Changyi might leave a future calamity.

But Liu He is still an emperor.

Empress Dowager is so gracious and kind.

I am very impressed however others

may not think so.

I've made up my mind.

Or did you want to go ahead and kill the emperor as a subject?

Your subject wouldn't dare.

Then the matter is settled.

Your subject solemnly respects Your Highness's will.

Your subject takes his leave.

Your Highness, are you alright?

Looks like learning how to deal with Grandfather

is going to require more practice by me.

Miss Huo.

I heard about the palace matters.

I am grateful of all your help on this matter.

In order to complete the matter diligently,

I almost got caught by Sir Meng.

What did Meng Jue do?

Sir Meng asked for the emperor's medicine.

And smelled it closely but thankfully he discovered nothing.

He wouldn't have discovered anything anyway.

I only had you add one more herb to that tonic.

That tonic has no poison to start out.

Then how did His Majesty lose his faulty suddenly?

He's also blind now.

I guess it could be an old illness coming back.

His Majesty used to go around crazy without rationale often.

I see.

No matter Sir Meng said there was nothing wrong with the medicine.

Great then. I thought I'd be killed by it.

Gong Gong, this is your reward.

Thank you, Miss Huo.

If you become the empress one day,

I shall serve you with all my diligence.

That woman hasn't had food or water for days.

The uppers told us we can't have her dead.

Go see how she is right now.

Alright. Alright.

Miss, put out your hand. Allow me to check your pulse.

How's the situation?

If she continues to not eat and not drink like this,

I fear the child in her tummy will not survive.

Child?

Miss, you.

What did you say?

Miss, you're pregnant.

You're sure?

You're sure the doctor's diagnose is accurate?

I'm sure.

Since the doctor said she's pregnant, she started eating.

I imagine she wants to keep the baby in her tummy alive.

She finally wants to live.

Empress Dowager really will issue a decree do depose Liu He and send him back to Changyi?

I was going to borrow Xiao Mei's hand to pull out the weed's root.

I didn't imagine Xiao Mei would go against me.

She only agreed to put Liu He under house arrest.

Then it looks like after I'm in the palace,

I will really need to be mindful of Xiao Mei.

Greeting to Minister of War.

Enter.

Did you find out Liu Xun's whereabouts?

Replying to your grace, not yet.

Then why are you back?

I discovered as of late every night there's a group clad in green making their presence inside the fortress.

They've been sneaking into various sites, searching in secret.

Do you know where they are coming from?

I don't know.

Could they be looking for Liu Xun?

It's also possible that Liu Xun is looking for the imperial seal and troop paper.

Dispatch a group of people on horse at once.

With the sole responsibility of tailing this group of people.

No matter what it is that they're looking for,

you must snatch the item for me before them.

I shall obey order.

Miss.

What is it?

Earlier a person clad in black said to give this to you.

Have you found Miss Yun?

No.

- Continue to search. - Yes.

Duke, I've finally found you.

My household of Huo from top to bottom,

has been looking for you for so long.

You sure can hide well.

What other crime are you trying to push on me now?

Like my grandfather, intending to kill the emperor?

Chengjun is here today to respectfully welcome

the soon-to-ascend emperor,

Liu Xun.

Prince Guang Ling?

Greetings to Your Majesty.

What is the meaning of this? How are you allied with Prince Guang Ling?

I went to see Chengjun.

I knew I wouldn't be chosen by the late emperor as his successor.

However,

I now want to find a chance to assist the future new emperor.

Didn't you already assist Liu He?

Why did you come looking for me as well?

Liu He has been out of his mind a lot lately.

He's already lost the trust of the people.

The essential is

an emperor who can make me an empress.

You want me to marry you?

That's your condition in helping me ascend to throne?

Another matter needs your assistance.

Speak.

Small matter.

Someone come.

I want to drink water.

Chi Xi.

Anyone?

You stupid thing!

Who is it?

General Fan Ming You.

Why are you just there?

Hurry and help me up.

I'm here to read the royal edict by her highness the empress dowager.

Empress Dowager?

Yuanping Year (74 BC), Day of Guisi (Kimi), New Emperor Liu He, due to Late Emperor' royal death,

suffers extensive sorrow resulting in mental instability,

in 27 days of reigning, committed 1127 acts violating proprieties,

causing the late emperor and tens and thousands of people to disappoint,

in my consideration of double blindness,

I depose Liu He's emperorship,

to be repatriated immediately

to Changyi.

Using the empress dowager to chase me out?

The old rascal Huo is acting pretty quickly.

Come, take him away now.

Yes, Sir.

I'm the emperor.

I've been the emperor for 27 days!

I'm an emperor who's lost everything!

Preventing future trouble.

Indeed befitting of Huo Guang's act.

I will soon have you all see hell together.

Brother. Big Brother.

Hang in there. I'll take you to treatment right away.

- Big Brother. - Xiao Jue.

Thank you for coming to send me off.

Sparing me from being buried

in the remote wildness.

I came too late.

I'm sorry.

Xiao Jue,

I wanted to do as you said

and be a good emperor.

But I can't.

You can.

Big Brother definitely can.

Promise me something.

Bury me

next to Hong Yi.

I want to go

find Hong Yi to dance with me.

Drink with me.

I want her to accompany me.

Accompany me.

Big Brother.

Big Brother!

Big Brother!

Big Brother,

I wrote this

so no one comes to disturb you and Hong Yi.

If you two could be

just an ordinary Mr. and Mrs. Liu,

how blissful would that be?

It smells like poison.

So the poison that had Big Brother irrational and blind

was smeared on Hong Yi's hair.

Who in the world did this?

She's been poisoned. She was poisoned by Huo Chengjun yesterday when she came.

Another time,

let me brush your hair for you, Sister.

Big Brother.

If it's really Huo Chengjun who did this,

one day,

I will reclaim justice for you both.

What's happened?

A group of people clad in black used the time when no one was present in the manor,

took away Xu Pingjun and Hu'er.

Si Yue and I came back too late and couldn't stop them.

Do you know their identity?

They are probably from House of Huo. They left a letter too.

Congratulations.

With the ability to have Huo Guang dispatch people to my manor

and take away Pingjun and Hu'er.

This means you have joined an alliance.

It appears Huo Guang plans to assist you to emperorship.

Actually, I want to respect the late emperor's last will too,

and ascend to throne by my own skills.

However I was discovered by Huo Guang

so now I am akin to Liu He.

We are both a chess piece in Huo Guang's hand.

Why didn't you spare Liu He then?

What happened to Liu He?

You sent people to kill him.

You were afraid after I found out, I might take my anger out on Pingjun and Hu'er.

So you had Huo Guang sent people to my manor to escort them away, no?

I didn't kill Liu He.

The reason I could safely bring Pingjun and Hu'er back

is because I agreed to Huo Chengjun to carry out a mission.

You came to me

is because the mission Huo Chengjun has for you

is linked to me?

Huo Chengjun wants me to tell you,

she's the one who kidnapped Yun Ge.

Furthermore Yun Ge is pregnant with the late emperor's

child.

Where's Yun Ge?

This is the map.

You can guess too

Huo Chengjun wouldn't have me tell you Yun Ge's whereabouts for no reason.

I can guess what she wants to do.

You clearly know this is a trap, but you still want to jump in?

You agreed to Huo's condition.

You clearly knew this was a trap too.

But haven't you also jumped in just the same?

What you want is the throne.

What I want is Yun Ge.

We both have what we each really want.

So we have no choice but to be duty-bound.

Since we each have our aim,

I hope we won't become future enemies.

Where's Yun Ge?

The medicine is about finish brewing.

I will naturally take you to go see her in a little while.

That is an abortion medicine then.

Correct.

Since I captured Yun Ge, she refused to eat or drink.

Until the doctor told her she was pregnant.

Then she finally started to eat.

Sometimes,

I can even hear her singing to her baby in her tummy.

So blissful.

Sure makes one jealous.

So I want you

to destroy her bliss with your own hands.

You want to force me to have Yun Ge drink the abortion medicine?

Correct.

That's my real goal for having you here.

In order to secure Liu Xun's reign, we can't have that child survive.

Furthermore,

that's Liu Fuling's bone and flesh.

it will bring a soreness to your sight as well, no?

If I don't agree to it?

You will agree.

On your way here you would've seen the traps and nets I put out.

Even if you can be lucky and flee,

you won't be able to take Yun Ge with you.

Master Meng is a smart businessman.

You never engage in a transaction for a loss.

Even if the business is bad, you will want to salvage the cost.

If perhaps you won't feed the medicine to Yun Ge,

Yun Ge and her unborn child

will both die.
