Love & The Emperor EP09 Cheating in Public

Well, look, what a wonderful dance.

I don't know whether Your Highness

is comfortable with the taste of our Nanting foods?

Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.

I like it very much.

With full of color, fragrance and flavor,

these dishes are very exquisite.

I'm glad you like it, Your Highness.

Well,

try this one.

Shang Fang Yunnan ham soup with Tricholoma matsutake.

Pantler Li is back.

Pantler Li, Pantler Li.

Pantler Li, Pantler Li.

Let our Pantler have a look.

Did His Majesty enjoy the meal?

Did Her Highness enjoy the meal?

How did Their Ministers like it?

Did everyone have a good time?

Satisfied, satisfied, all satisfied.

Keep going, everybody!

If you perform perfectly today,

all of you will be great rewarded.

That's great!

Your...

Your Highness, Your Highness!

Your Majesty?

Your Highness, what's the matter?

Your Majesty!

Your Highness, Your Majesty, don't scare me!

Your Highness!

Your Majesty, what's up?

Your Highness!

Somebody,

come here please!

Your Highness, Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty...

Your Highness?

Call the court-physicians,

call the court-physicians!

Call the court-physicians, hurry up!

Oh, no.

His Majesty and Her Highness are both poisoned.

Commander Mou,

hurry to lead someone to thoroughly search the Imperial Kitchen.

Your Majesty,

Your Highness,

Your Highness.

Blend them in again

and add some firewood.

Here you are.

Don't overheat the fire.

Take everyone into custody in place

and don't leave anyone out!

Yes, sir!

What are you doing?

Commander Mou, what happened?

Pantler Li Xia, take away.

Yes, sir.

What...

Is, is there anything wrong?

What happened?

What's going on?

Who knows?

Yeah?

What should we do?

Will His Majesty blame on us?

Are you, Great General Xie, satisfied with my cooking?

Well, you cooked them personally，

I am surely satisfied.

Satisfied as hell.

Well, whose is better, Li Xia or me?

Uhm...

You two are different

and have your own merits.

Whose is better is only a choice in a word.

Hurry up!

General Xie and General Fan,

oh no, no.

Ying,

His Majesty,

he and Her Highness was poisoned and collapsed.

Kneel down.

His Majesty and Her Highness are indeed in a coma for poisoning.

Now,

we need to find out the toxicant in time

in order to secure them.

I have already checked out these dishes

without anything abnormal.

What can we do?

Pantler Li, did the reception banquet

arrange by you personally?

Yep, I make arrangements for the banquet personally.

I personally supervised every dish,

and the dishes serving to Her Highness and His Majesty

were all cooked by me.

Have you ever known...

How reckless you are!

How dare you murder His Majesty and Her Highness!

Give me the antidote now.

Murder His Majesty and Her Highness?

Antidote?

What happened?

Don't play dumb with me.

His Majesty and Her Highness ate dishes you made

and were both poisoned.

That's impossible.

I didn't poison them.

I've tasted all the dishes,

it is impossible to be poisoned.

If you still refuse to hand over the antidote,

don't blame me for being rude to you.

I understand you are eager

to rescue Her Highness.

But there is no evidence

to prove that Pantler Li is the one who poisoned yet.

Only after finding out the truth

can we rescue His Majesty and Her Highness.

Pantler Li,

please.

The reception banquet for Her Highness is so important that

the whole process is supervised by a special person.

The process of trying dishes

was moreover witnessed by those eunuchs.

There is no possibility of poisoning at all.

Unless someone did it

after our trying dishes.

Now I beg you

to allow me to check the dishes one more time immediately.

No way.

Maybe you are trying to destroy the evidence.

What, destroy the evidence?

What's the reason for you

to create difficulties for a little Fifth-Rank Pantler?

Aren't you the ones who are deliberately stalling?

I agree.

It must be someone in your Beijing poisoned deliberately.

Our Princess had just arrived at Nanting from Beijing

after a long journey

and suffered from such an unexpected calamity.

How dare you countercharge us!

Do not slander each other here any more.

Now His Majesty's safety is the top priority.

Enter the palace to protect Her Highness.

Yes, sir.

Stop!

Stop!

In front of our Nanting Hall,

there is no way for you to overstep!

Step back, right now!

Otherwise, don't blame my sword for being blind!

Your Excellencies.

After being poisoned, the key is to find out the source of poison.

Delaying time is delaying treatment.

Please let me check the dishes at once.

If it is late

no one could afford the responsibility.

I agree.

You're still acting under this circumstance.

Play the trick of a thief crying “Stop thief”?

You must let me save His Majesty first

and afterwards how to execute me will at your disposal.

Don't ask for trouble.

Or I'll torture you until you hand over the antidote.

Is it necessary for you to be so rude to a woman

and without compassion for her?

If you insist on discouraging us,

we'll not be polite any more.

Ruxiang.

And you, Mr. Hulan,

will then have to be buried with our Majesty.

Thank you for coming in time.

Now let me check the dishes

to find out what kind of poison did His Majesty had.

Don't wait, hurry up!

Come on!

Come on, let me do it.

When preparing the dishes

I'm sure what I prepared was Tricholoma matsutake.

Ying!

Hurry up!

Hurry up, rice-washing water.

Give me a big basin of rice-washing water!

Rice-washing water.

Come on!

Thanks to Xiao Ning

who organized the wilderness survival activity that year.

The first step of first aid method for food poisoning is to induce vomiting.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

Look at this...

How dares she...

Rice-washing water, rice-washing water!

Ying.

Pantler Li, the rice-washing water is here.

Your Excellencies, I'll drink it first.

Don't worry.

What are you doing?

What does she do?

Yeah?

One more time.

Your Majesty, spit it out, spit it out.

Your Majesty.

Spit it out.

Your Majesty.

Wakes up, he wakes up.

His Majesty wakes up.

God bless Nanting.

I apply you, Mr. Hulan,

to allow me to cure Her Highness of Beijing.

Mr. Hulan.

Because of the forced situation,

I'm sorry for my offense.

Qingshu here make an apology to you.

That's nothing, nothing.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, Your Highness.

Your Highness wakes up.

Your Majesty.

Sorry to scared you, Your Highness.

You're all right now.

I'm glad you are fine, Your Majesty.

The Imperial Kitchen's Pantler Li Xia

is suspected of poisoning and assassination.

Huguo General Xie Qingshu

and Zhenyuan General Fan Ruxiang,

you two trespass on the court without permission

and defy my authority.

The imperial bodyguards.

Take these three to the Yeting Palace for interrogation.

Yes.

Today it was too amazing to suffer from

such an unbelievable thing at the reception banquet in the Palace.

I feel so sorry.

But please don't worry, Your Highness.

I will definitely give you an explanation.

Your Majesty are too seriously.

Now the situation

was not what we want.

If it's just an accident,

please don't blame the Imperial Kitchen.

I still want to eat delicious Nanting food.

If someone really poisoned us,

it's enough to find out the truth.

The two Generals of Nanting are loyal and sincere,

please don't blame them too, Your Majesty.

Your Highness are so rational and sensible

that I admire you a lot.

Your majesty stayed calm in danger

and made proper disposal.

I'm ashamed of myself.

I hope Your Majesty will take care of yourself.

Ask the Imperial Physician for a thorough checkup

in case there are any problems remaining.

What did you think

when you save His Majesty?

You sucked it with your mouth,

aren't you afraid you'll be also poisoned?

The situation was urgent

and there was no way out.

Really?

Don't you have any selfish thought?

Think about it.

The man you saved was His Majesty

or Yang Mo?

I didn't feel it at that time.

But I think about it afterwards,

they are both excellent and beautiful like a well-matched couple.

This is the right way to display an idol drama.

Li Xia, Li Xia.

Her Highness is already here.

Let's not talk about that.

Your Majesty,

at the time of the incident

General Xie and General Fan were outside the Palace Gate

eating something together.

And did not contact with anyone else.

There were the imperial bodyguards and Imperial Guards

as many as dozens of people

all have witnessed it.

What's the matter with this tea?

Your Majesty,

Pantler Li told me specially

to serve Your Majesty with more strong tea.

She said it can relieve the discomfort after poisoning.

Commander Mou.

Tell people in the Yeting Palace not to make things difficult for them.

Treat politely.

Yes, sir.

I will go now.

Wait.

Or I will go there personally.

Ying.

Yeah.

Go to the Lingqi Hall

and send some strong tea to Her Highness.

I see.

It's too late.

I don't know the reason for Your Majesty to come to the Yeting Palace

which is such an unfortunate place.

What do you think of, General Xie?

Please forgive my foolishness.

I can't guess Your Majesty's thoughts.

General Xie is so elusive today.

Such a big thing happened at the reception banquet

you still came late.

I'm afraid that if any later,

I'll never see you anymore.

If Your Majesty have any words

just say it.

I still don't know

why you were absent from the reception banquet for no reason?

If Your Majesty suspect that I did poison,

why would I have rushed to your rescue?

If you come later afterwards

just to cover up the truth.

I'm afraid it also makes sense.

Your Majesty have already convicted me.

I

have nothing to say.

So many things happened

how can I trust you?

If Your Majesty

really think so,

no better than withdrawing my marshal seal.

Therefore,

you and I are both relieved.

You think I dare not?

What are you doing?

Wait!

Commander Mou.

What are you doing?

General Fan.

His Majesty wants to interrogate Pantler Li.

Don't prevent me please.

Take away.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Your Majesty.

There is nothing here.

Go down.

Yes, sir.

Go.

I'm sorry for wronging you today.

But there is no trifle in the court,

not to mention Her Highness was poisoned.

The Beijing eyes us covetously,

I have to pretend myself.

I'm all right.

It's good that you and Her Highness are both fine.

Nor am I all right.

What's wrong?

Do you still feel sick?

Any stomachache?

No discomfort.

I was poisoned after only a few bites.

And then you fed me a few mouthfuls of rice-washing water.

I, I'm sorry.

It was so emergent

that I only want to save you.

So...

So did I at that time.

I was in a hurry to save you.

So, you and I are kind of even now.

I never expected that a short day

can be like a century.

If you hadn't saved me

I can't enjoy this bowl of sweet soup now.

The hall was in chaos at that time,

I just didn't want anything happen to you.

As long as you're fine,

I could do anything.

You are the emperor,

so, you mustn't have any trouble.

In a word,

thank you.

What was the situation at that time?

I heard Ying say a few words about it,

but not so clear.

I want to hear more from you.

It was such an emergency that

you and Song Yueying

are close to death.

After I arrived...

Xie Qingshu was the guest of honor at the banquet,

but he was absent for no reason.

It was so strange that he rushed in at the last minute.

Do you think there would be such a coincidence in the world?

Do you think General Xie is suspicious?

He's your own brother.

It is because we are brothers,

if anything had happened to me,

or he would have been the new emperor.

He didn't even care about his own life for you.

How can you think of him like that?

Why don't you doubt the Princess of Beijing?

Why should I doubt Song Yueying?

She was obviously poisoned at the same time with me.

I have to explain to you,

the reason why General Xie was absent

was because I gave General Fan a bad idea.

He was innocent at all.

You say "General Xie" all the time,

why you defend him like this?

I didn't defend him.

I'm just analyzing the case.

Think about it.

First, General Xie had no motive to poison.

Second, there was no time for him to poison.

If he hadn't saved me,

how could I save you?

Which of the evidence you list

is not because he, Xie Qingshu,

wants to murder my life?

In that case the people in Beijing

also want to murder my life.

Why do you still defend the Princess of Beijing?

Song Yueying is the Princess of Beijing

who came to make peace with rulers by marriage

for the sake of the relationships between two countries.

There was no reason for her to die with me.

Xie Qingshu is also

the Huguo General of Nanting.

He has made such great military achievements.

I defend him

is also for the sake of Nanting's country.

What do you know about a country?

I think you are no different

from a commonplace woman.

You find excuses for him like that

just because of his handsome appearance.

You look even better than Xie Qingshu

why don't I defend you?

I'll never, never cook for you again.

I don't care.

Yang Mo.

You dislike Xie Qingshu so irrationally and brainlessly.

How on earth do you ascent the throne with your temperament?

Ying.

I'm here.

I ask you.

Who is more handsome, Xie Qingshu or I?

Of course you, Your Majesty.

Why, then, did all of them defend General Xie

one by one?

Your Majesty.

Ah, who defended General Xie?

By the way, Your Majesty.

Her Highness sent some soothing incense

as a present in return to thank Your Majesty's Yangwei tea.

I'll light it for you.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty.

Breakfast is already prepared in the side hall.

Please have breakfast, Your Majesty.

Remove them. I don't want to eat.

It's Pantler Li.

Pantler Li?

It's Pantler Li who wrote a detailed recipe

and instructed them to prepare by the Imperial Kitchen.

She said

Your Majesty's stomach is weak now.

Be sure to have breakfast.

General Xie.

Let's together.

Qingshu.

Qingshu, how are you?

Did you sleep well last night?

I'm fine.

But Pantler Li is not well.

After all, General Fan's snoring

is so destructive and well-known.

Huguo General Xie Qingshu.

Here.

Zhenyuan General Fan Ruxiang.

Here.

You two were first absent without leave

and caused the guard weak.

Then you trespassed on the court without permission.

Each of you will be punished with 30 truncheons

and one-year-salary.

Thanks for Your Majesty's benevolent grace.

Your Majesty.

I have another thing to say.

Please.

Guarding the Imperial City is the duty of mine

and has nothing to do with General Fan.

This time I got General Fan into trouble.

I'm willing to be punished instead of her.

I...

Fine.

Why?

Pantler Li Xia in Tasty Bureau.

I am here.

You kept calm in the face of perils

and even saved Her Highness's and my life

with your loyal courage.

I would like to reward you for your contribution to me

with a hundred taels of gold

and promoting you to

Fourth-Rank Manager in charge of the Tasty Bureau.

It's out of order.

Too absurd.

This is clearly to cover up her crime.

Presumptuous!

On my Nanting court,

how dare you talk such nonsense?

Your Majesty.

It's just a matter of the promotion of Li Xia's position

is totally against ancestral rules.

Ladies and gentlemen,

don't worry.

I have sent the imperial bodyguards to investigate it thoroughly

in order to definitely give an explanation to Beijing.

As for Pantler Li.

I can guarantee that the poisoning

has nothing to do with the Imperial Kitchen.

If Pantler Li wanted to make any trouble,

she did not have to poison us during the reception banquet

in full view of public.

Moreover, what she did that day

all of you have seen.

Whether she wanted to save us sincerely,

I believe that I do not need to say more.

Pantler Li has saved my life.

If not reward,

I would be an ungrateful man.

Anyway,

we have to make a thorough investigation

before the conclusion.

It's a bit too hasty.

Now that Your Majesty has made a decision

with his own reasoning.

I trust His Majesty of Nanting,

please everyone here trusts me as well.

Yes.

Your Highness's showing your attitude determinedly

really did me a great favor.

I owe you another favor.

It's nothing.

Not to mention Your Majesty's decision

is nothing wrong.

By the way,

I wonder if Your Majesty used the soothing incense

I sent last night?

Of course.

Thanks to the soothing incense of yours.

I had a good sleep last night.

I'm sorry to take my leave,

otherwise, I would disturb Your Majesty to talk with others.

With whom?

Stand back.

Yes.

Let's go.

Come over now.

You have just been promoted.

Why don't you go to the Imperial Kitchen for your work

but to find me?

Why didn't you punish me today,

instead promoted my position?

I even lost my temper yesterday.

I am the Emperor of a country.

To reward or to punish

all depends on my judgement.

On the contrary, it was you

who kept saying that

you would never cook for me again.

How about the breakfast today?

Don't sidetrack my words.

It's my turn to ask first.

I am the Emperor.

I ordered you to answer first.

Is that Your Majesty's decree?

So what?

You've just recovered from poisoning.

It's necessary to be careful to nourish your stomach.

Skipping breakfast hurts your stomach the most.

You are the Pantler of the Tasty Bureau

who works so conscientiously

and considerately.

If I don't promote you, who should?

Now I'm healthy with my stomach.

I just can't sleep well.

Pantler Li, no,

Manager Li.

I hope you could continue to work hard

and keep the mission firmly in your mind.

Don't let me down.

You'd better go.

No.

I want to take care of you.

We are different in sexuality.

How do you take care of me?

Then

Then I can watch him to take care of you.

If you look at him,

how can I apply medicine?

Well, you apply your medicine first.

I'll come in after you have done it.

Listen to me.

Go back to have a rest earlier.

I'm at least a general.

If you do so,

I'm afraid these servants are going to make fun of me.

You've fought for our country for so many years.

It's the first time you have been punished by His Majesty.

I,

I'm afraid you're too upset.

His Majesty wants me to die,

I have no choice.

What's more, it's just a few strokes.

However,

if I can eat again

the snack made by General Fan herself,

then my injury might heal a little faster.

Just you wait.

I'll make it for you right now.

Wait a minute.

Send a letter for me to the palace.

OK.

Your Majesty,

Manager Li just received a letter

from the Huguo General's Mansion.

Then she immediately took her waist-token

and left from the palace.

Continue to keep eye on the Huguo General.

Yes, Your Majesty.

General Xie,

I cooked all the dishes for you.

This one is liver nourishing,

and this one is kidney nourishing.

These are the most perfect supplements.

Well, General Xie,

I'm so sorry.

I don't know

why you feel so sorry?

It's all my fault.

I gave General Fan a bad idea

which caused you to be punished.

Nothing.

Don't worry about it.

I ask you to come here

because I really have something to beg you.

Don't mention it, General Xie.

After thinking about this bottle of medicine for a long time,

I still want to give it to you, Manager Li.

Don't refuse in a hurry

before I'm done.

Li Xia.

Li Xia.

Li Xia.

I feel like I'm going to cross the mountain.

Xie Qingshu not only said that he would receive the punishment for me,

but also took the initiative to say that he wanted to eat the food I made.

Look.

It's all thanks to you.

Ruxiang.

Take this bottle of medicine.

As for Xie Qingshu,

I'm sorry I am powerless to help you.

I can't keep my promise.

Henceforth,

I can't help you any more.

What do you mean "powerless"?

Xie Qingshu and I have just made some progress.

Why did you give up halfway?

Li Xia.

Do you know what you did

is called rebellion?

It should be dealt with by the military law.

Don't ask.

Is this bottle of medicine given to you by Xie Qingshu?

What did he say?

Ruxiang.

Take it as I betrayed you.

If you have any complaints, just come to me.

In any case I do it all for your good.

For me?

You have something to deceive me but call it was for me?

Your rebellion is for me?

Li Xia.

We've been sisters.

How can you treat me like this?

Ruxiang.

That's all I can say.

If you want to blame me, I receive it.

I'll go back to the Imperial Kitchen first.

What is love?

Is love a moment of total selflessness,

or a constant companionship?

Perhaps

love is a secret

which makes us desperate

and aggrieved.

While only love

makes us scarred

but willing.
