Opening Song: 雲天外 - 杜淳 Beyond the Clouds - by Du Chun

♫ 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. ♫

♫ Entangle myself ♫

♫ 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 ♫

♫ Even if it all turns into dust, ♫

♫ I want to at least be with you through life and death. ♫

Love YunGe from the Desert

Episode 36

If,

your not willing to feed Yunge the medicine.

Yunge and her baby in her womb,

will die.

But if you do,

I'll let you take her away.

Besides, after you've killed her unborn child,

this life-time,

you will never be able to obtain her heart.

I want you to suffer just like Yunge.

Give me the medicine.

Xiao Su.

This the is the abortion medicine I had the physician prescribe.

I've already reduce the harm that will affect the mother to the lowest.

If you don't believe me, you can inspect it.

I didn't add poison.

Meng Jue,

I always thought you are a heartless person.

But to Yun Ge you're a bit more concerned.

I never thought you'd be this careful.

So considerate.

You're considerate,

so I can make you grieve.

First you harmed Hong Yi

and caused the death of Liu He.

Tell me how can I not be cautious?

Yes,

Hong Yi and Liu He were both harmed by me.

But...

it was all thanks to you.

I, Huo Cheng Jun, this life,

cannot obtain the person I most loved,

then I must obtain the world's female

most precious status.

Become the Empress.

Lead the way.

♫ The reeds are greying. ♫

♫ White dew are frosting. ♫

♫ A person on the side of water. ♫

Yun Ge

look who has come to see you.

Meng Jue.

So you are a mother to be.

Your drive is better than before.

Why is it like this?

For ease of doing things.

I've already burnt a hour's worth of bewildering fragrance.

Looks like,

it's already working.

Why are you using bewildering fragrance on me?

It's not me that want to do things to you.

It's what Meng Jue wants to do to you.

What do you want to do to me?

He wants you to drink some,

abortion medicine.

Xiao Su.

No, no...

You can't.

You won't.

You won't.

Meng Jue.

I'm begging you.

No, no...

Don't kill my unborn child.

No.

No.

No.

Meng Jue.

Promise me.

You must protect Yun Ge.

I beg of you.

No.

My baby.

My baby.

Yun Ge.

It's alright.

You will have babies in future.

Have many healthy babies.

I hate you... I hate you.

Hate me then.

As long as you live.

I hate you.

Hate you.

Master Hou, right inside.

Leave, you can all leave.

Yes.

You both finally returned.

Have you eaten?

It's been a long time since I've eaten some decent dishes.

I'll go make them.

Let me have a good look at you.

Is it yummy?

Eat more.

Ping Jun.

Since you've married me,

you've been behind me supporting me.

you alone, have been propping up this family.

Also bring up Hu-er.

It's me that let your pair of hands

become this coarse and rough.

I'm not some rich lady of the house,

it doesn't matter if my hands are a bit rough.

But from now on,

I don't need you to work again.

What's that meant to mean?

Liu He's been abandoned.

I will ascent the throne.

What?

I

will become the emperor.

Really?

So not long now

once you've entered the palace,

there will be eunuch and palace maids to serve me.

I don't need you to do anything.

You know me,

I'm not afraid of hard work.

I only wish that our family of three,

can be safe and sound, that would be good.

Right,

This situation, how can it change so drastically?

Huo Guang has helped me with this.

So I must promise him a condition,

it's...

I need to marry Huo Cheng Jun.

Are you not happy?

An ordinary man

will have three wives and four concubines. (i.e. many wives)

Let alone,

you're the future emperor.

You can still remember me,

I'll be satisfied.

Ping Jun, this sword,

keep it safe.

Why?

You will understand in future.

Sir Hou.

I've just went and pay respect to the former emperor.

And acknowledged him as a grandfather.

Now courtesy calls for me to pay respect to Empress Dowager.

But this isn't the path toward Chang Le Palace.

Empress Dowager wishes the duke to change his clothes first.

Hence I was sent here to escort you to the wardrobe department.

Please follow me.

Your wardrobe's laid out inside.

I will wait outside.

This is the imperial seal and military badge.

So these items were in Empress Dowager's possession all along.

Late emperor was worried

with Empress Dowager being a relative of Huo Guang,

that I might harm her after ascension.

So he had her hand the imperial seal and military badge to me.

So I'd feel indebted to her.

He even thought of this.

Year of Yuanping (74 BC)

Liu He is deposed after 27 days of reigning.

Liu Xun ascends to throne as emperor.

The following year his reigning title is renamed.

Becoming Western Han's 10th emperor.

As Emperor Xuan of Han.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Your royal grandson greets Your Highness Empress Dowager.

Rise.

With Your Highness Empress Dowager

your royal grandson Liu Xun

shall apply himself with vigilance to filial piety.

As to never disappoint Royal Grandfather's entrusted task.

I have long used to guarding my palace alone,

I don't like to disturb others,

nor do I like to be disturbed.

From now on you needn't pay respect to me daily either.

Let me spend my days in solace.

Govern the nation well.

That shall be your filial duty.

Your royal grandson shall oblige.

Master Huo, congratulations.

Master Chang, no time no see.

I'm here to bid felicitations.

Master Huo,

Chengjun's been granted as Jie Yu by His Majesty.

It is such a joy to be congratulated.

Thank you, Master Yang.

I think soon

His Majesty will grant Huo Jie Yu as

Empress Huo.

That is to be sure.

My daughter is so beautiful.

Chengjun,

if you want to become empress, you can't rely on beauty alone.

Liu Xun persevered the calamity of Crown Prince Wei,

and he endured throughout

becoming the emperor at last.

It is a testimony of his extraordinary quality.

Hence . . .

if you want to control him,

it is not going to be an easy task.

Mother,

I am no longer my old self.

I am not the daughter of Huo House.

I'm the emperor's woman.

I have Prince Guangling helping me behind me as well.

From now on,

there is only the part where others fear me.

Even the emperor shall be the same.

Where are you?

Brother Ling, where are you?

Brother Ling.

Yun Ge.

I'm here.

Brother Ling.

God has eyes.

I'm finally dead.

Finally can see you.

No.

I don't allow you to die.

You once said

no matter where on sky or ocean

you'd be with me regardless.

But you left me behind.

How do you think I can live alone?

I didn't leave.

I'm always by your side.

You have to be strong.

Brother Ling.

Do you know?

I had your child.

However . . . gods don't grand my will.

I didn't preserve your bone and flesh.

I didn't protect your last blood.

How am I to live on?

I really can't bear it anymore.

Brother Ling!

Brother Ling!

Don't go, Brother Ling!

Brother Ling.

Yun Ge.

Brother Meng.

What's happened to Yun Ge?

What exactly happened?

Since I brought her back,

she's been sleeping the whole time.

She won't awake.

Yun Ge.

Jie Jie's here to see you.

Hurry and wake up.

Hurry up and wake up.

Brother Meng,

you are proficient in medicine.

You must know

proper prescription is needed to save her.

Before Yun Ge went missing,

something must have happened

causing her to refuse to wake up.

An unformed child.

Is it indeed more valuable to her than her life?

What did you say?

She refused to wake up.

Is it because she lost her child?

Or because she lost her Brother Ling?

Yun Ge.

Miscarried?

Yun Ge.

Yun Ge.

The baby is gone?

Brother Meng.

A man

waits til after the baby is born

to feel he's a father now.

But a woman

from the moment the baby is conceived,

she's already a mother.

Losing the baby

will be her lifelong pain.

Regardless of whether she will have more children later on.

She will always remember the one she lost.

Even more so

it being the baby of hers and the late emperor's.

Yun Ge.

Yun Ge.

How was the baby lost?

It was me.

I fed abortion medicine to her.

It was you?

I personally

ended her and and late emperor's link.

No matter she refused to wake up.

It was all you!

I'm taking her away. I'm taking her away from here.

Where can you take her?

Wei Yang Palace?

Who do you think kept Yun Ge locked up?

It was Huo family.

Do you think Liu Xun being emperor now

will spare him from Huo family's influence?

And protect Yun Ge?

Yun Ge.

Yun Ge.

Hurry.

Yun Ge, hurry and wake up.

Don't scare me, Yun Ge.

Hurry and wake up.

Timing & subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

Yun Ge, hurry and wake up.

Don't torment yourself like this, Yun Ge.

Hurry and wake up.

Wake up.

What are you doing?

Are you alright?

Yun Ge.

Listen clearly.

You and Brother Ling's baby is already dead.

No matter you will or will not awake.

The child is already dead.

Don't think sleeping like this

can make everything as if they never happened.

Listen clearly.

Your baby . . .

I killed it.

Don't you hate me?

Then wake up.

Wake up and take your revenge on me.

Listen clearly.

Your baby was killed by me.

I, Meng Jue, killed it!

Wake up.

Wake up and take revenge on me.

Meng Jue is going to kill Yun Ge at that rate.

Master.

Master.

Master.

Miss Yun is responding.

Yun Ge.

Yun Ge.

Yun Ge.

How is she?

The blooding's stopped.

Will she awake?

As long as she hates me

she will awake for sure.

You must try hard to live on.

I will await your waking.

Hate me with your might.

[ Chang Le Palace ]

Greetings to Empress Dowager.

You may all rise.

Thank you, Empress Dowager.

Have a seat.

Obeyed.

Empress Dowager,

Chengjun brought some items for you.

We are all family.

Why the formality?

What matters is whether Empress Dowager would be fond of it.

It's night pearl.

It is.

Chengjun knows Empress Dowager has a hobby of collecting night pearls.

So I am gifting you the night pearl my father brought from frontier.

This pearl is so pretty.

I have always lived inside the palace.

I didn't imagine you would remember what I like.

You are very thoughtful.

You are being generous. As long as you like it,

that is more important than anything else.

Consort Xu, I wonder

if you've brought a gift

for Empress Dowager as well?

I did prepare one actually.

Bring it here for me to see.

Obeyed.

Reporting to Empress Dowager,

this is wood chopsticks I personally made.

I have long heard

about commoners making their own wood chopsticks.

But I have never used

nor have I even seen it.

This time, I have my own pair now.

I will use them everyday to meals from now on.

If Empress Dowager is pleased, I am assured.

I have thought it through.

Even though

you are both consorts of Jie Yu rank,

there should still be the logic of first come in sequence.

Hence, I have decided

to let Consort Xu live in Jiao Fang Palace.

Consort Huo is to live in Zhao Yang Palace.

Do you agree?

I will do as you say.

Lan'er, Xiao Ching.

Obeyed.

I have selected two palace maids as well.

I plan to send Lan'er to Jia Fang Palace to serve Consort Xu.

And Xiao Ching to Zhao Yang Palace to serve Consort Huo.

Empress Dowager,

Xiao Su has been serving me for many years.

I'm already used to it.

Alright then.

You two

from this day forward

must work together to settle the back palace.

In order for His Majesty

to be spared of back palace worries.

Obeyed.

Your consort welcomes Your Majesty.

Pardoned.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You are all dismissed.

Obeyed.

[ Zhao Yang Palace ]

I've heard your dancing is extraordinary.

Can you dance one for me?

I shall embarass myself then.

I've been looking through the late emperor's notes again.

I suddenly became aware of one thing.

I am wistful of the details.

Per historian's record, when the emperor awoke to change,

Zifu presented his wardrobe.

Was granted joy.

Back then, Emperor Wu beloved a singer, Wei Zifu, from Princess Pingyang's estates.

The message herein is

Emperor Wu was willing to accept Princess Pingyang's influence.

And power.

An emperor's granting and acceptance of consorts

does not only have the beauties as his conquest.

There's also that power behind it.

What's wrong?

Ping Jun.

Since you married me,

you've always quietly assisted me behind me.

Holding up this family alone.

While raising Hu'er as well.

I'm the one who caused your hands

to become so coarse.

All thanks to that genleman.

Great!

Thank you, SIr.

Master, what did you do now?

What do you mean what did I do now?

I just did a very benevolent act.

Stop looking at me so suspiciously all the time, alright?

Also,

did you find out where Meng Jue's house is?

I did.

Take me there at once.

Let's go.

Time time,

I must find Yun Ge.

When I was bring the medicine here earlier,

I think I heard people from outskirts

asking to see Miss Yun.

Master Yun, long time no see.

Yes, long time no see.

Come. Sit.

I received the letter someone delivered on your behalf.

Asking me to wait by the outskirts.

And you would appear with Yun Ge.

Then I can take her home.

But I waited for a long time.

I never saw you.

What exactly happened in the meanwhile?

Yun Ge, she . . .

she's fallen ill.

Ill?

What kind of illness? How is she now?

I'm fine now.

Yun Ge.

Brother. Ah Zhu.

Miss. Ah Zhu's missed you so much.

I've missed you so much too.

Missed the food you cook.

I knew it. You only think about good food.

But to be serious,

you only sent a few letters since you left home.

Aside from missing the food you cook,

of course I missed you too.

How's life in Chang'an these days?

Great.

Why didn't Dad and Mom come with you?

Are they still mad at me for leaving home?

Master and Mistress have stopped being angry a lot time ago.

They went to Snow Mountain together and ran into a landslide.

They were both injured a bit.

How are they now?

It's nothing serious anymore, but their movements are inconvenienced.

So they sent me and Ah Zhu looking for me.

I'm glad they are fine.

Yun Ge.

Since your brother came to take you home,

why don't you

use this opportunity to return to the frontier with them.

You can see you parents too.

I won't go.

Why?

You should go back.

You no longer

have anything to worry about here.

I have some things I need to see to in Chang'an.

I don't want to return to the plains yet.

Yun Ge.

Brother, don't try to talk me out of it.

I promise I won't remain in Chang'an when I'm done with the business.

Alright.

But you must promise me something.

Let Ah Zhu stay by your side to take care of you.

Miss, let me stay by your side.

Young Master is always forcing me to cook yummy things for him to eat.

But I can't make it. Save me please.

Ah Zhu.

Alright.

Have Ah Zhu stay by me to accompany me.

Thank you, Miss.

What?

Then

His Majesty's been going to your Zhao Yang Palace every day?

Great.

Soon

our house of Huo shall have the dragon child.

Father.

Master.

Father,

what's wrong?

Why did you patronize Prince Guangling behind my back?

It was me who told your father.

If your mother hadn't told me, how long were you going to keep that from me?

Father,

I really don't know why are you are mad.

The politics as it stands, having another to assist us

is having another mountain for us to lean on.

Isn't it?

Wouldn't I know well just who Prince Guangling is?

If he's not with a desire, would he help you?

I agreed to him

that after I become empress,

I would ask the emperor to increase the land and tax

so Prince Guangling would have more real power.

Master,

don't fault Chengjun anymore.

Chengjun is only trying to help our Huo family's status.

I only hope things will work out as you reckon.

Father, when are you going to ask the emperor to grant me the empress?

Late Emperor hasn't been buried yet.

All ceremonies are to be delayed.

Have Prince Guangling keep waiting.

My lord, all prepared.

Good.

Master, where are you going?

I need to go with Yu'er to pay sacrifice at grave.

Yes, it's that time again.

Chengjun.

Father.

Let me accompany you longer.

I don't get to come back often.

How about if I come with you?

If you want to go, then go.

Brother, how come it seems like you and Meng Jue have known each other for a long time?

Meng Jue didn't tell you about that?

There are lots of things he hasn't told me.

Do you remember that gentleman that came to seek marriage that day?

That was Meng Jue.

It was him.

Soon after you left home Meng Jue sent letter saying he found you

and he made a statement saying he would take care of you.

Did you think Father and Mother would've allowed you

to spend so much time outside otherwise?

These times I've been in Chang'an . . .

yes I'm sure he took care of me.

Miss, you look pale.

Are you ill again?

I'm fine.

Brother, it's your first time in Chang'an.

Let me take you around everywhere.

I like that.

But I need to finish my business first.

What business?

Sworn brother Hao Xiao Tian's grave?

Who is this person? Why did Dad have you come here?

This is Dad's grave.

Dad's grave?

Dad has a sworn brother in the central plains.

They were closer than life and death.

Later, Dad bid farewell to him and returned to the frontiers.

However, people were saying he died.

Dad thought it was for the better anyway.

But he didn't imagine

he'd found out last couple of years that his sworn brother built a grave for him when he heard the news of his death.

And he's been coming for memorial every year.

Dad doesn't want him to misunderstand.

So he told me to leave a letter here.

To let him know, actually he's not dead.

Did Dad tell you what his sworn brother's name was?

Who are you?

Big Brother?

Big Brother?

What is your name?

I am Yun Yi.

So much . . .

You look so much like him.

What are you doing here?

The Big Brother you said earlier

could that be Hao Xiao Tian?

How do you know?

That is my father's name in central plains.

You are Big Brother's daughter?

Yes.

It seems

your father has been living happily these few years.

He eats and he drinks.

He gets to tour the mountain and play with water. Not bad.

Uncle Huo no longer needs to

lament over my father's young death.

Indeed.

I didn't imagine Master Huo would still remember my father.

Your father

does his left arm ache when it rains?

That's his old wound.

Did you know

that was because your father took a slash for me

resulting in that wound.

Without your father, in this world,

Huo Guang would have long disappeared.

Yun Yi,

are you here to take Yun Ge

back to frontiers?

That's my intention.

But Yun Ge doesn't want to.

Why are you staying?

Chengjun.

Don't speak to Yun Ge that way.

Father.

Yun Ge.

In that past, Uncle Huo didn't take good care of you.

If you want to remain in Chang'an,

how about

you move into Huo estates.

Then I shall thank Uncle Huo for the good will.

I will move in after I tidy things.

Alright. Alright.

Actually, you inviting Yun Ge to live at home

is a good plan too.

That way we can have Yun Ge keep Meng Jue contained.

Chengjun,

since we now know Yun Ge's origin,

I don't want to hear you ever

mention using Yun Ge in any way.

I don't want to see you against her either.

You mean

you want to be sincerely good to Yun Ge?

I hope you will

also treat her sincerely well.

Like an own younger sister.

Impossible.

She hates me.

Why?

I know

you dislike Yun Ge because of Meng Jue.

But you are now

already an imperial consort.

She's the late emperor's woman too.

The past is the past.

Put an end to it.

But Father, she and I . . .

There's no but.

I'm already determined.

You ought to accept Yun Ge.
