Oops! The King is in Love

Episode 22

You are not cooking at all.

What's the big deal?

I don't believe

I can't make a dish.

That's too much.

Young Master.

It smells good.

Yes.

What did Zhiyue say to you?

Zhiyue

said she wouldn't ask about my origin

and asked me not to drive her away.

She wants to stay by my side.

You won't

blame me for bringing her here, will you?

Everything you do is for my good.

How could I blame you?

I understand.

Have you decided how to deal with Gong Ye?

Yes.

I want to get married with you as soon as possible,

have a son,

and enjoy family time

to make Gong Ye die of anger.

Can't you stop making trouble here?

I'm cooking.

Go, go, go. Go away.

Mrs. Emerald is good at cooking.

I want to try

how the dish Jade Qilin makes tastes.

It tastes good.

It tastes very good.

Do you need me to help?

Let me help you.

No, thanks.

No, thanks.

Here, Zhixia, eat.

Here, Zhiyue, eat.

I didn't expect that

there is such a day

in my life.

Here, eat.

Zhiyue

has been a caring person since childhood.

Here come the dishes!

Eat.

[Temple of Bitter People]

Incline the bench

to pick peach flowers.

One for you, one for him,

and the other for me.

Mom,

you have been cultivating in the Temple of Bitter People

and never been down the mountain.

I hear that

the outside world is lively.

When I was in the palace,

Zhixia always told me that

and I was eager to see.

I also hear

the landscape is the most gorgeous in Jiangnan.

Let's settle in Jiangnan in the future.

OK.

In winter, we sit around the fire.

In winter, we pick lotus root.

In spring and autumn, we go boating on the lake.

Let Zhixia give birth to

a grandson for you.

Here you are.

No.

One child will be too lonely.

It's better to have eight to ten children.

Eat.

You still want to talk when you eat.

[General's Mansion]

How come Yang Yuniang

hasn't been dead yet?

I followed Miss Gong to the Temple of Bitter People.

It must be her.

I'm very sure.

Immediately send soldiers to the Temple of Bitter People,

capture the young emperor and take him back.

Kill those who dare to block the way!

As for Yang Yuniang and Yan Zhixia,

kill them both.

Yes, general.

Aunt Bitterness,

your embroidering skills are the best in the world.

Of course.

The best embroidery girl in the palace

is not as good as my mom.

Embroidering

is similar to painting.

Landscape needs to convey near and far enjoyments.

A pavilion needs to show its depth.

Flowers, birds, and characters need to be

vivid and charming.

In this case,

the ten fingers can move flexibly as the spring breeze

and the embroidery will be like a picture of spring.

Zhixia, do you want to have a try?

She?

The flowers she embroiders

don't look like flowers,

and the grass she embroiders doesn't look like grass.

They are not pleasant to the eye.

You'd better...

Come on.

Just from here?

Yes.

Put the needle in from here.

You did a good job?

Really?

Your Majesty,

I want to say something to you.

Aunt Bitterness,

look, should I do it from here?

Put the needle in from here

and then...

Your Majesty, my heart is in a turmoil.

I want to talk to you.

Zhiyue,

I happen

to talk to you

about something.

OK. Please say first.

When we were children, we played together.

In my mind,

you are already like my real sister.

Zhiyue, why do you do that?

Raise.

Your Majesty,

you must have known about what happened in the capital.

I'm sorry.

I'm guilty.

I'm incompetent.

I couldn't stop my father.

Zhiyue,

although you are the daughter of Gong Ye,

I know

the rebellion has nothing to do with you.

Rise.

Thank you, Your Majesty,

for always believing me.

I just want to do something for the people and ask for nothing in return.

By now,

I don't place hopes on marrying you.

But as the situation is turbulent,

for the present,

Your Majesty, please go back to the capital with me

and then make a plan.

My father has promised me

that he won't hurt you.

Why?

You are still unwilling to go back?

Your Majesty.

I understand you are full of zeal,

have a heart of universal love,

and are always concerned about people.

But have you thought that

when you ignore the turmoil in the capital

and the soldiers at border areas

and just want to stay here in the Temple of Bitter People with Zhixia,

what can you do

for the people in the country?

Your Majesty,

don't hesitate anymore.

Let me accompany you to go back

and have peace talks with my father.

He was so anxious

that he did such a bad thing.

Only when you return to the capital to preside over affairs of the state

can you suppress my father's power.

Your Majesty,

agree to go back with me.

This is your last chance.

My father is fully-fledged.

Only when you go back with me

can Zhixia and Aunt Yuniang

be safe and sound.

Those who benefit the people will be prosperous and those who oppose the people will die.

As long as the government is clear,

officials try to make the people

live in peace and work in contentment,

and the world is peaceful,

actually I don't care

who the emperor is.

Your Majesty,

what do you mean by that?

Are you really not going back to the capital?

Since my enthronement,

I don't want to live an extravagant life,

and I just want to do something for the well-being of the people.

But my situation...

You also know that.

Controlled and restrained for all these years,

I have been trembling with fear all the time.

Who understands

my difficulty?

I parted with my biological mother since I was little.

I couldn't even protect the most important person to me.

Now it's not easy for me to have a reunion with my mother

and stay with the one I love.

Zhiyue,

I will not forget the people,

but this is the ordinary life I dream of.

Please

let me live another day like this,

OK?

Just one day.

Zhixia,

stop embroidering.

I will feel sad if your fingers are pricked.

Am I so delicate?

I'm experienced.

Can't I tell

the thoughts of the three of you?

How come there are three people?

In such a big world,

there are only the two of us.

Your Majesty,

I know my father is sinful.

I'm willing to atone for my father's sin for the sake of the people of Dongsheng.

Zhiyue,

I feel very pleased

to hear you say that.

Actually,

I need you to do a task for me.

I want you to go to the frontier

to find Prime Minister Lin,

and use your prestige

to persuade Gong Ye's army of a million soldiers.

If you have difficulty,

you can turn to one person for help.

He will try his best to help.

Who?

Yelü Ming.

Yelü Ming?

Is Yelü Ming's rebellion

part of your plan too?

Remember.

Don't let Zhixia

know this.

OK.

Look. Did I do right?

You are really not misjudged.

Bad news.

Gong Ye is so bold

that he dares to arrest His Majesty.

Now the wanted posters of His Majesty

are everywhere in the streets.

Furong!

Boss, you brought Zhiyue back

because of this?

What?

What wanted poster?

What happened?

What's going on?

Aunt Bitterness.

[Temple of Bitter People]

Jin!

Just kill me.

Let my child go!

Mom,

it has nothing to do with you.

Don't worry.

No one can separate us.

Zhang Yang, protect Zhixia and my mother.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

None of you will go out alive!

Kill!

Aunt Bitterness!

Ah!

Aunt Bitterness.

Jin.

Don't cry.

I'm already very lucky

to have met you again.

We...

We are going to settle in Jiangnan.

Let Zhixia

give birth to a few grandchildren for me.

Mom!

General,

the followers of the Prime Minister

after being persuaded by me,

have known the emperor's inaction.

Filled with righteous indignation,

they detest the emperor.

Good.

Very good.

What about those ministers?

They are mostly stubborn.

General, it's really unwise to put the empress dowager under house arrest.

With my efforts alone,

I'm afraid that it will take more time.

Bastards!

At this critical moment,

they still can't see the situation.

Kill!

Kill two of them.

Let's see whether they'll be obedient.

Don't.

Since you let me take charge of this matter,

please trust me.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Dad,

you promised me

that as long as His Majesty is willing to come back,

you will spare his life.

How could you go back on your word?

General,

I...

I'm incompetent.

I failed to capture the emperor for you.

Following your order,

I went to kill Yang Yuniang and Yan Zhixia.

Just when we were about to succeed,

a group of people came out

to protect them.

I failed to complete the task.

Please punish me.

Guards!

Take her away

and keep a close watch on her!

Dad!

Go!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Where is Zhixia?

General, you promised me

that you won't kill Zhixia.

Yanqing,

remember this.

If you want to achieve a great goal,

you mustn't be affected by love.

Otherwise,

you are likely to fail on the verge of success.

Remember that.

Tell me.

What is the background of

those people who saved the emperor?

I don't know.

They all have high martial arts skills.

They all are better than me.

OK.

Here is my order.

From tomorrow on,

no matter what method you use,

you must find them.

If they cannot be found,

I will kill a former minister each day.

General, don't do that.

If you make use of former ministers' lives

to force them to appear,

you'll easily hurt people's feelings.

Please think twice.

Nonsense!

The world is so big.

What's the big deal of killing a few stupid ministers?

They all have a strong sense of righteousness

and care about the people, don't they?

I'll let you see

whether Yan Jin

really cares about the people.

Your Majesty,

when the late emperor was on the throne,

he secretly established a squad of guards.

The squad is made up of commanders of each battalion.

We only act when we see the tally the late emperor secretly made.

After the death of the late emperor,

the tally was missing

until it reappeared in the Temple of Bitter People three years ago.

We've been guarding secretly in the temple

until Mrs. Bitterness gave the tally to this lady.

This hairpin is not a rare thing,

but it has been with me for a dozen years.

Zhixia, if you don't dislike it,

I give it to you.

You mean this hairpin

is the tally?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Miss, here is your hairpin.

After that meeting,

as I didn't know your identity,

we investigated everywhere.

So we were late to rescue you.

Your Majesty, please forgive us.

Your Majesty, please forgive us.

[General's Mansion]

The State of Dongsheng is going to perish.

It is going to perish.

Jin, have you made up your mind?

Master,

I'm the emperor.

I can't bear to see

my people suffer without doing anything about it.

And I promised Gong Ye

that I'll go back tomorrow.

I want Gong Ye

to pay the debt of blood with blood.

Jin,

Gong Ye has determined to spare none.

He did this to force you to show up.

If you go back,

that's just what he wants.

You can't go back!

Why are you back so late?

I'm worried about you.

Why haven't you returned to the palace?

I won't go anywhere.

I want to stay with you.

Your Highness,

don't you know

what I am going to do next?

What do you stay here for?

No matter what they say,

I don't believe them.

I only believe you.

Master,

I want you

to do me a favor.

Go ahead.

I disguised myself as a young eunuch to enter the palace

and then was chosen as your personal attendant.

I thought that was

the worst thing in the world.

Now, thinking of it,

I feel it's the happiest time for me.

Zhixia,

before meeting you,

I always thought

I was emotionless.

After meeting you,

I understood

what is flipped,

what is like,

and what is love.

Just go.

I'll wait for you to come back.

OK.

Yan Jin,

I owed you a word.

Today I give it back to you.

I love you.

I hope one day,

you can say the same word

to me.

I love you.

- Zhixia. - Yan Jin.

This is just a minor injury.

Oh, a minor injury.

You survived in a great catastrophe and you'll have good luck.

Win promotion and get rich.

Win promotion and get rich.

I don't want to win promotion or get rich.

I just want to have

meat-stuffed buns sold on Xinglong Street.

Meat-stuffed buns?

They are quite common.

Our parents died early.

We brothers lived on the streets.

Every time we passed that bun shop,

I really wanted to eat.

When I was young, I was weak and often got ill.

You went to the dock to carry sandbags,

and then bought buns for me with the money you earned.

Otherwise you wouldn't have been so short.

Who is short?

Big Zhang,

I just want to have the food I had when I was young.

OK. I'll let you have enough.

You

aren't, aren't, aren't

lying to me?

When did I lie to you?

It seems that you lied to me every time.

Stop chatting.

Come to eat meat.

It is cooked.

Eat meat.

Let's go.

Here.

Master,

is there wine?

Yes.

Cheers, master.

Big Zhang.

[General's Mansion]

Get out!

Go!

Get out!

Ke'er.

Miss Gong's sachet.

Miss Gong.

Giddyap!

Giddyap!

Master,

where are we?

Anesthetic.

Zhixia...

I'll go to Gong Ye on behalf of His Majesty.

No way!

No.

You can't do that.

Master,

His Majesty wants to save the world by himself alone.

But master, have you thought about this?

The State of Dongsheng can do without me, Yan Zhixia,

but it cannot do without His Majesty.

I'll go to Gong Ye on behalf of His Majesty.

Please take him to

a safe place.

Master,

for the sake of the people of the State of Dongsheng,

please help me.

Jin,

Zhixia is right.

The State of Dongsheng cannot do without an emperor.

Master, how muddle-headed you are!

General,

what is this about?

Just wait to watch a good show.

Boss,

it seems that we fell into a trap.

It seems that Gong Ye has long been prepared.

As I expected.

As the squad of guards appeared,

presumably they wouldn't

hand over Yan Jin easily.

I let the news

and turned their trick to my own use

to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Shoot arrows!

Stop!

Stop!
