Love Yunge from the Desert

Episode 41

Your Majesty! This is terrible!

Greetings, Your Majesty!

What happened?

The soldiers in the prison just reported, saying that the assassin from the outer plains

was taken away!

How is that possible? Without the military seal, who can take him away?

Is the military seal still there?

It's still here.

Your Majesty, if you keep Meng Jue by your side,

he'll eventually become your source of chaos.

Empress.

I want to go with Doctor Meng up the mountain to hunt today.

I have no time to spend with you.

Then I will leave first.

Yunge!

-Yunge!-Sister, are you okay?

I'm okay. However, the emperor knows about your brother's escape, he's very angry.

The first reaction was to see if the military seal was still there.

Thankfully the military seal was already returned then.

Then did the emperor say how he wanted to deal with this matter?

He didn't say he'd pursue it.

However, he went with Doctor Meng to go hunt up the mountain.

Hunt?

Is he really not pursuing the matter?

Congratulations, Your Majesty. It's a mountain chicken.

Woah.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

Your archery skills are indeed the best.

An even smarter hunter

would have times when they are tricked by the prey.

It's just that I won't make this sort of mistake again.

Actually all of a prey's actions

are simply to save their own life.

There isn't any prey that entirely wants to challenge the hunter.

Then, last night you put medicine in my wine.

Stole the military seal,

all to save that assassin?

It looks like Your Majesty

has already had someone investigate last night's wine.

You entered the prison

simply to find a chance to save that assassin.

What relationship do you have with him?

The assassin killed Lord Guangling.

It can be counted as fixing a large problem for you.

Do you hope to see Huo Guang and Lord Guangling

gang up and control you?

Even if I wanted to get of Lord Guangling,

he had to die under me!

Not to let you use your selfish motives

to get revenge for Yunge!

Only by letting him think I was getting revenge for Yunge will Yun Yin killing Lord Guangling be a good thing.

This way it'll be even harder to suspect that Yunge took Yun Yin away.

I'll give you one last chance.

Hand over the assassin, and I can spare your life.

I...have nothing to say.

Are you going to say it or not?

If a prey faces death,

it can only do it's best to try (to escape).

Kill him!

After him! Give my orders to seal the mountain, kill him immediately!

It's already night. Why haven't they returned yet?

You're worried about Doctor Meng?

I keep feeling like things won't go this smoothly.

How could the emperor not pursue the matter of my brother's escape?

Don't worry.

I think the emperor didn't put this matter in his heart.

Or else, why would he have the mood to go hunt with Doctor Meng?

This is bad! This is bad! Empress, Miss Yun, this is terrible!

What is it?

The emperor gave his orders to seal off the mountain and pursue Doctor Meng!

He also wants us all to immediately leave Gang Quan Palace!

How could it be like this?

Weren't they fine yesterday?

I asked around, and I heard that it's because the imperial physicians

found knock out medicine in the wine Doctor Meng brought last night!

So he thought to push it all onto himself long ago.

What did you say?

Sister Xu, after you return to Chang'an, you must tell Huo Guang about this.

Perhaps he'll have a way to make the emperor take back his order.

You're not going back with us?

I have to stay to find Meng Jue.

Meng Jue got hurt?

Father.

Cheng Jun.

Where are you going?

Yun Yi escaped. The emperor gave orders to capture Meng Jue.

Yunge suddenly sent a message to summon me into the palace

to beg the emperor to spare him.

I ask you not to go.

Meng Jue is Yunge's husband.

Besides, he saved Yun Yi. I should help him.

Even though His Majesty depends on Meng Jue,

he does guard against him very much.

If you go speak on his behalf, the emperor will worry

that you will work together with him in the future.

This way, the emperor will dislike us even more.

So right now, we can only stand by and watch.

Let the emperor and Meng Jue fight.

Only this way will it be to our benefit.

Then what about Yunge?

If you go, then you are putting me and the entire household in danger.

Daddy. When I was very little, you told me

that the Huo family's benefits are higher than anything else.

Are you going to ruin all of the Huo family's efforts for a person whose surname isn't even Huo?

Meng Jue!

Meng Jue! Meng Jue!

Meng Jue!

Yunge...why are you here?

The emperor sealed off the mountain to capture you. I thought that you'd be in danger.

Thank you for saving my big brother.

You were the one who saved him.

Not me.

Without your pretense of you saving my brother . . .

The emperor will know my plan very soon.

My brother won't be able to leave Chang'an so easily.

Since you know all of this,

you shouldn't have come here.

The emperor wants to kill me now.

If he sees you together with me,

my planning from before would become useless.

Careful.

Slowly.

Come.

I'll help you stop the bleeding first.

You still have the mood to smile?

As long as I can be with you,

even if I have to go up a mountain of swords or enter an ocean of fire,

I will still be very happy.

What do we do about the arrow in your leg?

Take it out.

But you'll be in a lot of pain.

I can take it.

Take it out.

Take it!

Hold it in.

Meng Jue!

Meng Jue! Meng Jue!

Meng Jue...

Meng Jue!

This is great.

You're finally awake. You kept shivering just now,

you wouldn't wake up no matter how I called you. You scared me to death.

Yunge...is it snowing?

I'm so cold.

Come.

Come.

Would this be better?

I must be dreaming.

Or else a malicious woman like you who came to avenge . . .

How could you be holding me like this?

I hope to never wake up.

Never to wake up.

Meng Jue! You can't sleep, you cannot sleep, Meng Jue!

Meng Jue!

I'm so tired.

Meng Jue. Meng Jue, talk!

Talk to me right now, open your eyes!

Meng Jue!

Open your eyes, Rock Meng!

Rock Meng! Open your eyes!

Rock Meng...?

It's been a long time

since you called me Rock Meng.

It sounds so nice.

It sounds nice? Then listen to it again.

Don't sleep. If you want to hear it then open your eyes!

You're not allowed to sleep!

Rock Meng! Let's compete on telling stories, okay?

Whoever talks longer wins!

Rock Meng! Rock Meng!

You won't let me sleep,

because you're afraid I won't wake up?

I don't want you to die.

When you were little,

you said that as well.

When I was little?

My life is despicable.

My life is despicable. I should die cleanly. Why do you treat me so well?

Why do you say your life is despicable? Your parents' hearts will hurt if they hear that.

That's what rich people do.

My life is despicable. You don't need to work so hard.

You are...

you were the little big brother in the desert.

In all these years, I finally found the place you lived.

I didn't think that when I went to ask for marriage,

you ran away shortly thereafter.

We are always like this.

If I'm not running after you,

you are running after me.

Since you promised me to live well,

then you can't break your promise.

This time,

if I don't die,

will you treat me well forever?

I'm sorry.

I asked for too much.

That you came to save me, I should be satisfied.

Rock Meng! Rock Meng!

Your head's burning.

You are such an idiot!

Why didn't you ever say it?

Why did you let me continue to hate you?

Rock Meng!

You are clearly very smart.

Why? Why are you so stupid, so foolish?

You are an idiot! Even more stupid than a pig!

-Huo Guang is sick?-Yes.

Wasn't he fine when you went to ask him to speak on behalf of Doctor Meng in front of the emperor?

Could it be...

Could it be he wants to push away the responsibility, so he's pretending to be sick?

I think so too.

No.

Yunge and Doctor Meng will die on the mountain.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

It's the empress.

I don't know why, but tonight,

I feel like you are especially beautiful.

Why don't I drink wine with you?

Okay.

Your Majesty is troubled over Doctor Meng?

Wine can only treat the exterior.

My heart is a mess right now.

I trusted Meng Jue so much, but he dared to betray me.

He almost wanted my life.

Could there be some misunderstanding?

Perhaps Doctor Meng has some unspeakable reason?

You're speaking on behalf of Meng Jue?

I-

In your heart, is Meng Jue or I more important?

Of course you are!

Ever since Doctor Meng entered the palace,

you always talk about how he's so great and smart.

Am I an idiot that should be tricked and betrayed by everyone?

Your Majesty, you are being too extreme. How could I?

If you still have me in your heart,

then prove it to me.

In my heart, there is only you.

In the past, now, and in the future.

In my entire life, I only belong to you.

Your Majesty. When I first came,

you were drinking wine alone.

Actually in your heart, you don't want to kill Doctor Meng, right?

Even if I don't want to,

but Meng Jue won't even tell me why he had to take away that assassin.

How can I trust and keep him again?

If I can tell you the reason, can you let him go?

Do you know something?

Doctor Meng didn't take the assassin away. He didn't kill Lord Guangling either.

He did it to save Yunge. Also,

he wanted to take the blame for me.

What did you say?

That assassin is actually Yunge's big brother.

He knew that Lord Guangling caused Yunge to have a miscarriage.

That's why he captured Lord Guangling to get revenge.

After you caught him, Yunge came to find me.

She wanted my help to save her brother.

In the beginning, I didn't agree to it. However,

Yunge and I are sisters.

I couldn't bear to not save him, so...

So I told Yunge the place where you put the military seal.

The one who betrayed me was you.

Your Majesty, it's all my fault.

Please, based on previous merits,

let Yunge and Doctor Meng go!

Shut up!

I'd rather have Meng Jue betraying me.

I don't want to hear you say anything else.

Doesn't Meng Jue want to take the blame?

Fine I'll oblige. He gets what he wants.

Death.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Ba Ping! We're going to Zhaoyang Palace!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

You're not even sober yet. What should we do?

I'm okay.

How about you rest here?

Don't go to morning court today.

I'm fine!

Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please punish me.

Empress, I think you should get up.

This time, even if your clothes tear from kneeling,

I think the emperor won't forgive you.

Don't take away my little brother. Don't!

You can't make him die for Wei Huang Sun!

You can't! Father!

Don't!

-Rock Meng, you're awake?-Don't!

Rock Meng!

Don't!

Big brother! Hong Yi!

You've come to get me?

-I'll leave with you. Move aside!-You're running a fever.

Rock Meng!

I'm Yunge!

You tricked me.

Yunge won't appear by my side.

She'd rather let me die!

Rock Meng. Rock Meng, look at me!

Look! Look, what is this?

This is Yunge's embroidered shoe.

Yunge...

Yunge...

Your leg is infected.

I'm going to use a dagger to cut it out.

It will definitely hurt a lot.

You must hang in there.

Yunge...

You finally recognize me?

Don't bother with me.

You don't have to wait for death with me.

I won't let you talk nonsense!

Previously, didn't you yell at me,

I was a malicious woman who came to avenge?

Debts have to be repaid. You don't have money now, so your life is mine!

Your life is mine!

I won't let you die! You can't die!

Rock Meng!

Greetings, Empress Dowager.

I prepared some nourishment for the emperor. Go send the message.

Empress Dowager, the empress has given orders

-that he won't see anyone.-Nonsense!

How can the Empress Dowager be considered "anyone"?

May your anger dissipate. I am only following order. Please don't fault me.

Then take these restoratives in to the emperor for me.

Obeyed.

Greetings to Empress Dowager.

Pardoned.

Thanks to Empress Dowager.

Empress, if His Majesty insists on not seeing you

your toiling scheme is to go to vain.

Replying to Empress Dowager, I am not scheming.

I just want His Majesty to forgive me.

I understand your heart.

However His Majesty is in the throes of anger.

If you want him to understand your sincerity,

we really must try some other method.

What other method do you know of?

Reporting to Consort Huo, His Majesty still refuses to see Empress.

Also, she also gave up on kneeling before Wei Yang Palace.

- Chi Xi. - Present.

Invite His Majesty to Zhao Yang Palace tonight.

- Obeyed.- No.

Ask His Majesty to come everyday from now on.

Obeyed.

What is this?

Your Ladyship, it's a wood kite.

Wood kite?

Who put it out?

It's mine.

Hu'er greets Consort Huo.

Crown Prince, your wood kite sure flew far.

All the way from Jiao Fang Palace to Zhao Yang Palace.

Mother Empress ignores me.

Master Meng is not in the palace either. I just played and played and I got here.

Come.

I wasn't faulting you.

From now on, if no one plays with you,

you can come to Zhao Yang Palace and I'll play with you.

Alright?

Thanks to Consort Huo.

Come, let's go sit in the pavilion.

Hu'er, sit.

Hu'er, do you want to eat an apple?

Yes.

Then, how about I feed you?

Here.

Is it good?

Then eat lots.

If I can make this rascal happy, His Majesty will trust me more.

Xu Pingjun, get ready to be sent to the cold palace alone.

Reporting to Your Majesty.

- What's the matter.- Jiao Fang Palace sent message.

Saying Crown Prince is ill.

What's wrong with Hu'er?

Your Majesty, Crown Prince overate cold-energy food.

After medicine, he should be fine.

- Dismissed. - Obeyed.

How are you taking care of him? He's been fine in the palace why the sudden illness?

I know my offense.

Father Emperor, don't blame Mother Empress.

Hu'er.

Hu'er, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?

Don't scold Mother Empress. I ate food carelessly.

What did you eat?

I want to Zhao Yang Palace and had apples then my tummy started to hurt.

It's my fault for not listing to what Master Meng said.

What did Master Meng say to you?

He said not to eat things carelessly.

Not to go into Zhao Yang Palace.

Today I forgot what Master Meng said and my tummy got very hurt.

Hu'er.

Hu'er, you must be good and get better.

I'll come see you tomorrow again, alright?

I didn't realize Meng Jue would save Hu'er.

Is he a loyal subject or a greedy raven?

What am I to do with him?

- Ba Ping. - Present.

How does Master Meng usually treat Crown Prince?

Master Meng usually tends to Crown Prince excellently.

Crown Prince trusts Master Meng very much as well.

He often says Master Meng is his role model.

What do you mean?

I am Crown Prince's father. Am I not fit to be his role model?

I didn't mean that. Please forgive me.

Greetings to Your Majesty.

Empress Dowager, lease don't be overly formal.

I want to advise you to spare Meng Jue.

How come everyone around me

seeks to raise his case?

I am worried for your sake.

Meng Jue is a paradox

who is to you like a wood kite that's hard to control.

Even if you have him in your grasp, you are worried one day he may be cut and flies away.

In order to resolve this problem, you could destroy Meng Jue

as a solution indeed.

You are saying . . .

there is a way to not kill Meng Jue but keep him to my use?

I believe you can just wind the string so the wood kite can't fly.

You have sealed the mountain to try to capture Meng Jue and it's as though you are winding the string.

But if you use too much force, the string could break.

Ruining a good wood kite.

So when you're winding the string you must do so naturally.

Let the wood kite fall to ground first.

You are very wise and I believe you will come up with the way.

What? The rumor around the palace is that I harmed Crown Prince?

Yes.

Ridiculous.

No. I must go and explain to His Majesty.

What a danger.

Those who are framing me

are just hoping that I would rush to His Majesty

but His Majesty

would think I am admitting my guilt.

He would not only distrust me

he would think I really did harm Crown Prince.

How malicious.

Then what will you do?

- Wait.- Wait for what?

Wait for opportunity to get my pay back on this.

Good.

I want to know why you want to rescue Master Meng.

Master Meng is not only Yun Ge's husband

and teacher to Crown Prince, but most importantly

he dares to speak the truth to His Majesty.

Every generation of emperor should have such an adviser.

I just don't want His Majesty riding on a temperory anger

losing a loyal subject.

I agree with your assessment but current situation

has His Majesty very angry at you.

If we want to soften up His Majesty,

we might need to go through Hu'er.

Hu'er. I owe you.

Empress Dowager and I really had no choice but to do this.

It's not fair to you.

If we can save Master Meng,

I don't care if it's unfair to me.

Hu'er is so good and so mature.

Mother Empress, will Master Meng really be ok?

I don't know either but we did everything we could.

Now it's up to your father.

Meng Jue.

Rock Meng.

Where are you?

Rock Meng.

♫ Without you by my side, the numerous stars disappear. ♫

♫ Sometimes your retreating figure hides itself; sometimes it appears. ♫

♫ Even breathing seems to be so far away. ♫

Rock Meng. You're not dead.

That's great. You didn't die.

I didn't die.

Will you always be good to me? Can you do that?

♫ I gradually feel your warmth in my hand. ♫

I . . .

♫ Dare not look, dare not think. ♫

♫ Memories have you have become hazy. ♫

♫ The green flowing skirt drifts in the wind. ♫

♫ Yet when I extend my hand, nothing. ♫

Rock Meng!

Rock Meng!

♫ Once I reminisce, they follow the wind. ♫

Rock Meng.

Rock Meng!

Your pulse is so weak.

Your body is so icy.

What do I do?

What do I do?

Rock Meng.

♫ The green flowing skirt in my dreams drifts towards the ends of the earth. ♫

♫ In the blink of an eye, everything dissolves into the flowing years. ♫

Rock Meng, you can't die.

I beg you, open your eyes. Don't die.

Rock Meng. Please don't die.

Rock Meng.

♫ Tears in the corner of my eyes are among the clouds ♫

♫ Once I reminisce, they follow the wind. ♫

Don't hurt yourself to save me.

You are the big fool who harmed yourself to save me!

I am so happy right now. Even if you ask to me to go die at once.

I will be fine with it.

You won't die. I'm here. I won't let you die.

There's a mountain cave here. Go in and look.

Don't.

Don't move.

Hurry and go. Don't mind me.

I said I won't leave you behind.

Hurry, this way.

Don't come.

If you want to take Meng Jue away, kill me first.

Don't touch her. No. I'll go with you.

No!

Miss Yun, His Majesty ordered to cancel the mountain sealing.

To save you and Master Meng.

His Majesty really said that?

It's so great.

So great.
