Oops! The King is in Love

Episode 2

It's you!

Enemies are destined to meet.

You…

You are…

Since you've found out,

I'll just tell you my identity.

You're right,

I'm the incumbent emp…

Emperor's personal guard.

You're an Imperial Personal Guard!

Clever boy.

You're truly clever.

So sorry that I didn't know you're such a magnifico.

I would have never contradicted you

if I had known that

you're a military commander.

I forgive your ignorance of my identity.

As the saying goes, "No discord, no concord."

You wouldn't have entered the palace if you had intended

to murder Mr. Wang for money.

That's right.

All of this has nothing

to do with me.

I really know nothing

about Mr. Wang's disappearance.

Jade Qilin, oh Jade Qilin,

I can't believe you've chosen to be

a eunuch in order to look for Mr. Wang.

This is so disappointing.

It's okay!

I'll get out of the palace

as long as you pay the money.

Don't ever think of getting out now that you've been castrated.

You're now a candidate for His Majesty's personal attendant,

and all eyes are fixed on you.

Do you want to live or not?

Mr. Commander,

since fate has made us meet again,

how about we make a deal?

You want to be His Majesty's personal attendant?

No!

Please don't let His Majesty pick me.

Presumptuous!

Do you think it's a burden to attend His Majesty?

Calm down,

calm down,

calm down.

Look how angry you are.

Mr. Commander,

I'm not a suitable candidate because of

my impatient and careless temperament.

If you help me this time,

I'll be deeply indebted to you.

I'll write off the debt

you and Mr. Wang owe me,

and I'll promise

to find Mr. Wang.

You mean it?

A gentleman never

takes back his words…

Even if mountains crash

or thunder booms.

Now we're

good bros.

Thank you in advance.

No need to…

…thank me.

Don't run about in the palace,

which is a dangerous place.

Kneel down

in front of His Majesty.

My honor to see you, Your Majesty.

What aptitudes

does this little eunuch have?

Your Majesty,

this little eunuch has

a big waistline,

a large face,

and a flat head.

As for his aptitudes,

he is more slow-witted than his peers.

"Good bro."

Since he's so slow-witted,

just take him out and behead him…

"Oh no."

…so as to warn those officials against

recommending such mediocre candidates

to me.

Your Majesty,

please spare his life

despite his mediocrity.

What's your name?

San…

Sanji ("three auspicious things").

Sanji ("three urgencies")?

Which are the "three urgencies"?

It's the "ji" for "auspicious."

What a bad name.

You look clownish,

so how about

changing your name into "Sanbao" ("baby-like ")?

You should thank His Majesty for giving you this name.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'll spare your life

for Commander Yan's sake.

You should kneel down and express your thanks.

Don't kneel there in a daze.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Well,

it's obvious that you're a poor boy who is controlled

by your superiors,

whose work is done by your subordinates,

and who has lots of ambitions

but little power.

Presumptuous!

Do you know who I am?

Why do I need to care who you are?

I'm the incumbent emp…

Emperor's personal guard.

You're an Imperial Personal Guard!

This matter is getting serious now.

I must find the money

and Mr. Wang,

and get out of the palace quickly.

Otherwise, even my whole kindred

will be convicted guilty

if I'm found to be a girl.

[(Mr.) Hai]

Mr. Hai

must be

a rich person.

What a humble room.

Just this much?

He's so poor.

I knew you're not as clean as you appear to be.

I'm going to have a fortune!

Mr. Wang,

you were always prudent,

but now you've recruited martial men secretly,

and involved His Majesty into your wild actions.

Her Majesty the Empress Dowager had no choice but to arrest you.

How can you be worthy of the late emperor's entrustment?

I've done all this on my own.

His Majesty has nothing to do with it.

Just kill me

if someone must be killed.

You deserve death indeed.

Her Majesty the Empress Dowager

will be relieved only after you're dead.

As your colleague,

I'll let you die decently for old times' sake.

I've seen nothing! I know nothing!

Congratulations.

His Majesty has chosen you as his personal attendant.

Why was he chosen?

Who knows?

Even I am handsomer than he.

Look how conceited he is.

So hateful.

I really wonder why it's you.

Why have you been chosen?

Of all of us,

why has His Majesty chosen you as his personal attendant?

Be quick, you slow walkers in the back!

A bunch of dawdlers.

What?

Mr. Hai,

just regard

this cup of liquor as my toast to you.

Mr. Hai,

am I allowed to retreat

now that Mr. Wang has confessed?

I have some other errand for you.

Come over here.

Come closer.

The palace is too dangerous to stay.

Is this guy the final choice

after such a thorough selection?

There is nothing I can do

since it's His Majesty's choice.

Never mind.

Now a worry has been relieved.

Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is concerned about politics

and the management of the imperial harem.

Attending to His Majesty

is a supreme glory that Her Majesty the Empress Dowager has granted you.

Don't think that you can do whatever you like

after becoming the personal attendant.

As long as

I'm in charge of the Eunuch's Dormitory,

your life or death

will be determined by me.

From now on,

you can regard only one person as your master,

that is Her Majesty the Empress Dowager.

Do you understand?

Yes. Got it.

Mr. Hai,

don't frighten this boy.

Please rest assured, Your Majesty.

I promise to be obedient.

This little eunuch seems

good-natured to me.

Since you've taken my money,

you must work for me.

I need to know

every action of the emperor,

so you must report to me regularly.

I'll give you handsome rewards

if you perform your duties well.

Sir,

it's you!

I must be prudent.

The palace is surrounded by dangers.

Heaven knows if this guy

is related to Mr. Hai.

It's better not to be meddlesome.

A loose tongue can cause big troubles.

My priority now is to stay alive.

What's up?

Are you enchanted by me,

a handsome commander?

Yes.

I'm almost dazzled

by your radiance, sir.

Sir,

there's one thing I don't understand.

Why

did His Majesty pick me

as his personal attendant

in spite of your extremely derogatory

description of me?

It's a destiny.

Can I give this precious "destiny"

to one of the many

other eunuchs?

No way.

Sir,

as His Majesty's personal attendant,

how come I still haven't got to see His Majesty?

His Majesty has appointed me to test your ability today.

If you do anything inappropriate,

you shall be beheaded as a warning to others.

Show your moves.

If you dare lose intentionally,

His Majesty said,

your head shall be removed.

Congratulations. You've passed the test

and have officially become His Majesty's

new personal attendant.

Is it because I beat you too hard

that you've become a simpleton now?

Are you okay?

Hey.

Ah—

I'll bite you

after I get out!

Bite you!

Why are you so irritable ?

You bit me so hard.

It's not a test at all.

You're obviously making use of your position

to retaliate against me!

His Majesty has appointed me

to give you a special test.

It's a rare honor His Majesty gives you.

How dare you bite the examiner?

Seems that I can only report to His Majesty

that you didn't pass

this test.

What if I didn't pass the test?

Waist chop ,

lingering death,

or dismemberment.

It depends on the mood of His Majesty.

Mr. Commander,

as His Majesty's favorite ,

you can easily convince His Majesty

that I've passed the test,

so I implore you

to say something in my favor

to His Majesty.

In your favor?

No problem.

But…

Stretch out your hands.

What for?

Ah—

No, I didn't do it.

You were chuckling happily just now, weren't you?

Let go of him.

I say "let go of him!"

I'll report to Mr. Hai if you don't stop that.

And you,

why do you fear him?

Has he seen with his eyes

that it's us who put these eight pins

under his mattress?

My tolerance is not unlimited.

I won't attack others

unless being attacked.

If you dare provoke me again,

I'll drive this into your head.

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

Congratulations, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!

With all the territories pacified,

the country is prospering and the people is living in peace.

[The Empress Dowager]

The late emperor would have been gratified

if he had witnessed this.

Your Majesty the Empress Dowager,

you've been holding power for many years

with our assistance.

[Prime Minister Lin Ke]

Isn't now the time

for His Majesty

to get married

and take over the administration

of the state?

Why are you so anxious

to persuade our emperor into marriage

when he has no such intention yet?

His Majesty has reached the age of 20,

so it's truly improper

that His Majesty has not been married

or taken over the reign of the state,

unless…

Unless what?

Unless

Your Majesty the Empress Dowager

insists on holding power

and preventing His Majesty

from getting married and taking over the reign.

Are you intending subversion?

How dare you, a bunch of old officials

under the late emperor, look down upon me?

I'm afraid the people might blame the court

if His Majesty, who is already an adult,

is kept unmarried and uninvolved in politics.

Really?

Prime Minister Lin ,

I don't want marriage yet.

Please stop

discussing this.

Your Majesty!

General Gong Ye has arrived!

Your Majesty,

Your Majesty the Empress Dowager.

Sorry,

[General Gong Ye]

I

am late.

How arrogant you are!

Why are you not kneeling

in front of His Majesty?

His Majesty has exempted me from kneeling

due to my contributions to the country.

Do you oppose that,

Prime Minister Lin?

You…

Your Majesty.

Prime Minister Lin,

calm down.

Please be seated.

Gong Ye,

you've been consolidating your military power.

Do you think

I'm unaware of your

insurgent attempt?

I've invited you

to today's banquet

in order to kill you.

Your Majesty.

Spare my life, Your Majesty!

I'll hand over my ruling power to you

at once,

and I'll never interfere with your reign.

Your Majesty is truly sagacious and audacious!

May Your Majesty live and reign for ten thousand years!

How can the head of the state

behave so indecently?

Your Majesty,

I've brought you

a gorgeous gift from the border.

[Gong Ye's daughter Gong Zhiyue]

Zhiyue.

Oh the bleak autumn scenery,

how it makes people feel lonely.

[Grandson of the Prime Minister Lin Yanqing]

Don't you feel bored staying at home all day long,

doing nothing except reading

and playing the guqin?

What's your opinion about the engagement

between our families?

No way!

Have you come to see me late at night

in order to tell me your refusal?

Of course not.

I'm going out for some business in a few days.

Please help me

during my absence.

Shouldn't you tell me

what business it is

that forces you to leave at such a time?

It has something to do with reputation,

but it's impossible

to explain it clearly in a few sentences.

If my dad asks you about me,

please don't say that you've met me, OK?

Zhixia,

where are you?

Prime Minister Lin,

I have long wanted to tell everyone how many bribes you've taken

and how much you have embezzled

from the military fund and provisions.

Gong Ye,

what do you mean by that?

Clarify your idea and don't slander me!

Your Majesty can ask our generals and soldiers about it.

With provisions and soldiers' pay embezzled,

we fought

a truly tough battle, during which

many generals and soldiers were killed on the battlefield.

All this

was caused by you, Prime Minister Lin.

You…

Mr. Lin,

you have always been in charge of military fund and provisions.

What on earth is the matter?

Your Majesty,

Your Majesty the Empress Dowager,

I've always been prudent and honest

since I worked for the late emperor.

What Gong Ye said

is totally a slander.

Your Majesty,

as far as I'm concerned,

[Grand Preceptor Wang]

Prime Minister Lin couldn't have done such an absurd thing.

Please judge wisely,

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

I don't want any reward.

I only want justice

for the generals and soldiers

who have died in the battle.

Gong Ye!

Military fund and provisions are a serious matter.

A careful investigation will surely be carried out

so that all of you can get a fair explanation.

Mother,

in my opinion…

No need to be overly concerned.

I will

deal with this matter impartially

without showing favoritism.

Guards!

Escort Lin Ke

into the Imperial Prison!

Bad news, master!

What's up?

News has come from the palace

that Mr. Prime Minister has been put into

the Imperial Prison after being labelled as an embezzler

of military fund and provisions at a banquet.

What?

Grandfather has been put into the Imperial Prison?

Thanks to the forged evidence of embezzlement

and Your Majesty's well-designed scheme,

we have finally

put the old Prime Minister into the Imperial Prison.

I really admire Your Majesty.

We have only arrested one man,

so it's still not time for celebration.

All these old officials

are waiting for the moment

when the emperor gets married and takes over the power,

so that they can coerce me into retirement.

Haven't I done well enough in handling state affairs

all these years?

With the Imperial Jade Seal

and military leadership in hand,

Your Majesty has been working hard for the State of Dongsheng.

How can those fogies

understand these logics?

Unlike them,

I have been standing

in Your Majesty's shoes.

You're my only male cousin.

These words of yours

prove that my great efforts in promoting you

to this position are worthwhile.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I will surely

do my utmost to eliminate

all Your Majesty's dissidents

and guarantee that no one at court dare to oppose you.

But,

Your Majesty,

don't you fear that

the man on the throne might grow

full-fledged someday?

The man on the throne

is nothing but a puppet,

and its strings

are in my hands.

Attendants!

Light the lamps!

Your Majesty.

Get out.

Bro.

Bro.

Bro,

your face looks pale.

Didn't you sleep well?

Could you sleep well

if your thing was cut?

Shut up.

Bro, it's said that you were picked

by His Majesty at first sight

and your skills exceeded those of all the other candidates.

How extremely clever you are,

our dear brother!

"Extremely clever?"

Isn't he "extremely infertile"?

To escape out of the palace,

I must need a helper.

Do you two want to

get promoted and make fortunes?

Under your lead?

There's no chance.

Shouldn't we thank our brother?

Big Zhang,

I knew you have good judgment.

Now that I've become the personal attendant of His Majesty,

you two, as my bros,

will of course share my weal

and…

Imperial Personal Guard?

Mr. Commander?

We've never heard of these titles.

It must be that your rank is too low.

I'm truly a clever man.

Come on,

I promise it's something good.

Ah!

My hand still hurts because of your bite.

I'm not going.

Why are you behaving like a sissy?

Does it still hurt?

What…

What trick are you playing this time?

Cut the crap.

Just follow me.

Come on!

In order to repay you for saving my life,

I have specially prepared two "treasures"

for you.

This is the Imperial Personal Guard I've mentioned to you.

Come over to bow to Commander Yan.

May Your Majesty live and reign for ten thousand years!

You are…

Your Majesty.

I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

I was as blind as a bat.

It's boring that you've found

I'm the emperor.
