Love & The Emperor EP12 Fight With You

Dear Mo,

after our long talk yesterday,

I know how you really think.

However, please forgive me that I can't comply with your wishes.

Please forgive me that

I took the Commander's Seal with me

without your permission.

When you read this letter,

I have led my troops to the border of the West Liang.

Considering the brotherly love,

I know it's hard for you to send me to the border to fight against the enemy.

But I am the General Defending the State of the South Ting,

my lifelong ambition is to

protect my country, and nothing else.

I have been practicing hard on how to lead troops in martial arts, just for the war.

You are the Emperor.

I am your Minister.

We have different missions.

I would like to serve my country with my life,

I hope Your Majesty can

grant.

This time to the West Liang,

I don't know when I can come back.

Your Majesty and Ruxiang

are the ones I'm really worried about.

Ruxiang joined the army as a woman.

It can't go on for long.

If I die in the war,

I hope that Your Majesty could take care of her.

Your Majesty is strategic and upright.

You are the hope of our country.

Now you have become the Emperor as everyone's wishes.

The goal to unify the country is just around the corner.

For the marriage with the North Jing,

if Your Majesty don't want to accept it, just refuse it.

I swear by the blood of the South Ting,

I will do anything for Your Majesty

to guard the border of the West Liang.

You must not

act recklessly for this matter and condemn yourself,

and have regrets for life.

Your Majesty,

are you satisfied now?

Xie Qingshu regards you as his beloved.

What do you take him for?

Xie Qingshu is a jerk.

He didn't even leave me a word.

Is that true?

Definitely.

Li Xia.

You three nosy parkers of the South Ting radio station.

Shall we develop some hobbies

in our spare time?

Another big news today.

General Xie led the army

to the West Liang, to defend the country.

What a hero!

Long live the Emperor!

My beloved deputies, as you were.

Yes, Your Majesty.

To Your Majesty,

The commander in chief for the battle of the West Liang...

I have given an order

Xie Qingshu is the Grand Marshal Of The Western Expedition.

General Xie went on an expedition yesterday.

Good Your majesty.

General Xie is really concerned about the big picture.

This is the blessing of the South Ting.

This time, General Xie's trip to the West Liang

can solve the problem of the South Ting.

Your Ministers.

What a great speech!

Remember that time,

you smeared Xie Qingshu with betrayal.

General Fan, that's not true.

If Your Majesty has nothing else to order,

could I leave first.

Well,

Your Majesty,

General Fan,

She is always friends

with General Xie.

So she lost temper today.

It's understandable.

Not surprisingly.

To Your Majesty,

the urgent task at hand

is the marriage

of Your Majesty and the princess of the North Jing.

I agree...

You don't have to push me.

I have...

For the marriage with the North Jing,

if Your Majesty don't want to accept it, just refuse it.

You must not

act recklessly for this matter and condemn yourself,

and have regrets for life.

General Fan, please stay.

I have something to tell you.

I have nothing to say

to you.

I Know that

General Xie led the troop to the expedition last night.

So what?

Don't you want to know that

why General Xie give me the vulnerary

and why I take it?

This jar of vulnerary,

after I have considered for a long time,

I still want to give it to you.

You don't need to refuse so quickly

before I finish my words.

You and Ruxiang are like Bernard and Doris.

You want to know

how I feel to Ruxiang.

Ruxiang devotes deepest emotions to me.

I am not a stalk of grass or a tree, how can I be cold.

It's just because that I'm the General Defending the State of the South Ting.

Ruxiang is a General Guarding Distant Lands

to protect our homes and defend our country in peace.

That's what we do for life.

If we are married,

our marriage is bound to be a hidden danger for the South Ting's military affairs.

It tends to be used on purpose.

Well,

have you ever said this to the Emperor and Ruxiang?

The Majesty is busy with government affairs every day.

He doesn't need to worry about

these small things.

As for Ruxiang,

if I told her,

you know what she will do.

If the Majesty

could unify the whole country

according to the oracle.

I will take the lead.

I've long cherished the belief of dying for my country.

Dying on the battlefield

is my destiny.

If General Fan marries me,

she will definitely live and die with me

after marriage.

How can I ruin her life?

All I wish in this life is

Ruxiang can be safe, happy

and live long.

If so,

Qingshu can die without any regrets.

Sorry, General Xie,

I misunderstood you before.

Now the Majesty misunderstood me.

It doesn't matter for me.

I'm afraid that I will get Ruxiang involved.

So I request you

to help me necessarily.

Your grace

I will never forget.

General Xie, please don't do this.

Please rise.

Thank you.

Ok, I promise you.

I took the vulnerary, too.

For this matter,

God knows, you know and I know.

Please

be sure to keep this secret for me.

I don't want General Xie's intentions to be wasted.

That's why I decided

to keep the secret from you.

But now I figure it out

I'd rather be a villain who don't keep the promise.

I can't let General Xie's intentions be unknown.

You betrayed Xie Qingshu at first.

I hit you for him.

But you said it all.

I thank you for him.

Your Highness.

Your Majesty.

Your Highness doesn't need to be too polite.

Your Majesty, what do you think of this potted plant?

It's very elegant.

I also brought some flower seeds from the the North Jing.

The same day of next year,

in the palace of the South Ting,

we can see the flowers of the the North Jing.

Your Majesty likes red flowers

or pink flowers?

Since Your Majesty likes both of them,

then we can plant the seeds in both colors.

Today I come

to apologize to you.

This morning,

I wanted to announce my engagement with you.

However, the courtiers discussed about Xie Qingshu's expedition.

I failed to find the right chance.

Your Majesty, you don't need to apologize for this.

I believe that

Your Majesty will keep your promise.

There must be other arrangements so you didn't announce it.

I will explain to the envoys from the the North Jing.

Your Majesty does not need to worry.

Your Higness are magnanimous.

I really admire it.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I will account for this.

Li Xia,

what are you doing here?

Your Majesty, the princess asked me here.

Li Xia.

Come in.

I'm afraid you will go here for nothing.

Originally, I wanted to talk about

the dishes at the engagement dinner with you.

Since Your Majesty has not announced it yet,

then we don't need to hurry.

Li Xia,

You can have a few days off now.

Yesterday, General Xie asked to lead the troops to the West Liang.

There are a lot of follow-up issues to discuss.

Therefore, there is no chance in the court to...

I have already known that.

It's better to meet by chance than to invite.

Or I

invite Your Majesty and Li Xia

to eat lunch together in my palace.

Li Xia is the only friend I have

in imperial harem of the South Ting.

All along I want to get closer to you.

Your Majesty,

General Fan is still in Zichen Hall,

waiting for you to discuss government affairs.

I almost forgot. I will go now.

Your Highness, I still have government affairs to discuss.

So I'll go now.

Take leave.

Take care, Your Majesty.

Please, Li Xia.

Your Majesty!

Please rise.

What do you want?

Your Majesty,

I asked myself to lead the troop to the West Liang.

Again?

If I send you,

I would let General Xie down.

Just because General Xie has gone,

I will go, too.

I'm going to support him.

Your Majesty, please think about it.

For once, I pacified the the West Liang border.

I have won many battles and won many victories.

If I were there to support the General,

isn't it more powerful?

However...

There's no need to say 'however'.

I have made up my mind to get the Commander's Seal.

You have to give it to me today.

You have to.

Xie Qingshu can steal the Commander's Seal.

I can do it, too.

Xie Qingshu didn't leave a message for me.

It's fine.

I will ask him by myself.

Fan Ruxiang,

You talk all about stealing the Commander's Seal.

Do you still see me as the Emperor?

There's no wonder that all the courtiers said that you are spoiled.

I

I really have to have an inquest on myself.

The Commander's Seal.

Li Xia, please.

Thank you ,Your Highness.

Li Xia, His Majesty said just now

since the engagement has not been announced,

you are very surprised.

Don't you know about it?

Why did His Majesty do that?

Don't you know?

Your Highness, I really have no idea.

His Majesty never mentioned it.

Don't be so nervous.

I just asked casually.

His Majesty worries about state affairs today.

I wish you

can take care

of His Majesty.

Your Highness,

I'm not sure which day I'll leave.

Just let me go.

What do you need to order?

Tasty Bureau will do their best.

His Majesty is the Emperor of the South Ting,

there should be enough people to serve him in imperial harem.

You are intimate with His Majesty.

What does she mean?

Does she want to be the Virgin Mary?

You'd better persuade His Majesty,

don't worry about it.

I'll not mind.

Watch the fire.

Here, carrying this one.

Add some firewood.

General Fan, stay and eat dinner please.

Li Xia,

I come to say goodbye to you.

His Majesty has given me the Commander's Seal.

But after I say goodbye to you,

I'm going to the West Liang to support Xie Qingshu.

I'm about to go.

I can't wait anymore.

The most regretful thing in my life

is that night

Xie Qingshu drunk me under the table.

He must have said a lot to me.

But I don't remember even a word.

Xie Qingshu's vulnerary, here you are.

I can't take this.

You lead the troop to fight against the enemy.

You need this than I do.

This vulnerary is for you.

If you don't take it,

it means he didn't keep his word.

Besides, this vulnerary can only save one person.

In case something happens to Xie Qingshu,

I will die with him.

I'll never live alone.

Ruxiang,

you are my best friend in my life.

I can't help you when it comes to lead the troop.

But I wish you and General Xie

to be safe and sound.

Come back as soon as possible.

Li Xia, goodbye.

Li Xia,

recently,

His Majesty was bothered by both the state affairs and the marriage.

I hope you could take good care of him.

Be nice to him.

Your Majesty,

General Defending the State has arrived at the border of the West Liang.

He fought against the enemy for several times.

The fight was fierce, with casualties on each side.

They are in a stalemate.

Your Majesty, the gate guard is coming to report.

He said that General Fan and the army fighting for the distant lands had assembled.

They are about to leave.

Li Xia, Li Xia, come and see.

Are we dazzled?

The Emperor is here.

Your Majesty!

Rise.

It's going to scorch.

General Xie and General Fan

will be back safely.

You don't have to be so worried.

In the past,

I misunderstood Xie Qingshu.

This time he left,

I don't know that when I can apologize to him.

With General Fan's help,

the war will be over soon.

I didn't know that Xie Qingshu could hide his thoughts for me.

For Ruxiang,

for the South Ting,

so deeply

he has suffered so much.

I didn't quite understand General Fan before,

why did she treat general Xie like that?

Now I understand.

General Xie worth it.

Others don't understand.

It's because they don't understand his deep love.

They are not as brave as Ruxiang.

Do you know

why I didn't announce the engagement today?

I didn't want to marry Song Yueying before.

Once I told Xie Qingshu that

all my life,

I will live and die with my love.

Later, the situation was turbulent.

There's internal and external troubles costantly.

I hesitated and finally I accepted the marriage.

Xie Qingshu left a letter at that time.

He wished me

not to sacrifice myself for the country.

His words

woke me up.

I want to know

if I were as affectionate as Xie Qingshu,

then if my sweetheart

could be as brave as Fan Ruxiang.

If I cross mountains and seas for love,

if someone on the other side of the mountains and sea

is waiting for me.

I have no idea.

Is this a confession?

It's definitely something worth me to be happy.

But why am I so upset?

It's fine.

We have plenty of time.

We can talk about other things later.

The steamed stuffed bun will get cold if we don't eat it.

Do we really have a lot of time?

I haven't had a good sleep for many days.

I'm very tired now, I need to have a rest.

I know.

This is the hardest time for you.

I can do nothing else.

To make you have a good rest,

I'll be content.

Qingshu, Qingshu,

what happened to you?

I feel pain on my feet.

Then I'll carry you.

Fan Ruxiang, Fan Ruxiang,

I didn't tell you

you are so beautiful.

General, you should have a good rest.

Xie Qingshu.

I am not well dressed.

And you make a sudden strike.

I was caught off guard

by what you did than the enemy did.

Li Xia told you all?

Women are so unreliable.

She told you all the things.

Then the hard work I've done for such a long time

is all in vain?

Thanks to Li Xia for telling me.

Xie Qingshu.

What a stupid idea that you've made?

We are all generals.

Why there's only you can die on the battlefield?

And I can't defend my country.

In my life,

I will live and die with you.

I woke you up?

Why did you give me your cape?

Did you catch a cold?

It's fine.

I had a good sleep last night.

It's a little bit late.

It's time for me to go to court.

Thank you, Li Xia.

Do you

have something to say to me?

I...

You don't have to answer me now.

I know.

Once you say it,

there's no turning back.

But I promise you

as long as you stand by my side,

no matter over the mountains and across the seas

or facing any difficulties and dangers,

I can go through them.

So this war,

I have to go in person.

No, I don't agree.

How can you lead the troop with a seriously injured body?

I have to fight this battle.

Don't try to be a hero.

How many times have you beaten me in ten of our battles?

Even if I'm injured, I would win.

I win nine times out of ten.

You know that.

I did that on purpose.

Xie Qingshu, you walk all over me.

I've made up my mind to fight this war.

I'll fight.

I'll fight.

I'll fight.

I'll fight. I'll fight. I'll fight.

Two

Generals

The soldiers are all ready for the military orders.

It's not the time to flirt

and give lip service.

How about I being the pioneer?

And you generals being the left and right wingers.

Then it's up to you.

Go ahead and carry out the order.

Yes, General.

When this battle is finished,

I'll take you home.

Xie Qingshu.

What's your plans when you go back?

First fight the battle of tomorrow.

About the future,

we can talk later.

To Your Majesty.

The Ministry of War received the report.

Troops of Defending the State were attacked at night on the border of the West Liang.

There are heavy casualties on both sides.

What's the situation of General Defending the State?

To Your Majesty，

General Xie was seriously injured for saving General Fan.

General Fan fought hard for two days and nights.

The enemy was repulsed temporarily.

Is General Xie in danger now?

Li Xia, Li Xia.

Let me do it.

Thank you.

Today she fell three bowls,

sighed twenty or thirty times,

and walked for one hundred and thirty laps.

Is something big going to happen?

Li Xia, Li Xia.

Eunuch Ying

The Emperor can't leave the court for a while.

What happened?

His Majesty has just received the report.

In the tough battle last night,

in order to save General Fan,

General Xie was seriously injured.

What comes is what to fear.

General Xie is seriously injured,

remaining unconscious.

Your Majesty,

General Xie is in a coma and seriously injured.

Still in danger.

Fan Ruxiang is alone.

She couldn't support the whole troop alone.

I feel very uneasy.

Let's put the matters in court aside.

I will personally lead the troops to reinforce the two generals.

Your Majesty,

the issue of marridge has been delayed many times.

Now Your Majesty will go to the front.

It's hard to predict when you can return.

That will leave my princess of the North Jing alone.

Your majesty really doesn't attach importance

to the marridge with the princess.

If there's no country, there's no home.

This is the key to the survival of the South Ting.

Only if I go on an expedition in person

can the war situation be reversed and the morale of our army be boosted.

This is the state affairs of the South Ting.

How could you envoys from the North Jing

have position to opposite?

We are preparing for the marriage of the South Ting and the North Jing.

We are highly integrated with a mutual stake.

We have made our attitude clear.

As long as Your Majesty and His Highness are engaged,

the North Jing will immediately send troops to pacify the West Liang.

In such good sincerity,

if Your majesty still determined to go to the West Liang in person,

that means you don't believe in our forces

or you are not going to make the engagement.

For the matter of engagement,

I will give an explanation to the princess.

I wish Your Majesty would think twice.

Diplomatic relations between the two countries should be the priority.

It's because I attach great importance to the diplomatic relations between the two countries

that makes you push your luck.

Retire.

It's been a day and night.

Why doesn't the fever go down?

I am sorry.

I have used all the methods that I can use.

But...

There is another way.

The deputy, taking the order.

Yes.

You take this

and go back to the North Jing day and night,

to beg His Majesty for the vulnerary

to save the General Xie.

I obey the order.

You tell the Emperor

if he refuses to award the vulnerary,

in case something happened to General Xie,

I will die with him.

Sorry, I have no appetite.

Eunuch Ying has been here.

This vulnerary

is from General Xie.

I didn't think it through.

Now I have to

send it to the front.

It's not just about the vulnerary.

I also want to go to the front

to support General Xie and General Fan.

You are the Emperor.

This is the time to take the lead.

The Emperor guards the country and the King dies for it.

If you really want to go,

no one can stop you.

General Xie can go,

General Fan can go,

you can go as well.

If I go like this,

I can't take any soldier.

I have to go alone.

Even so, should I go there?

Who said you don't have any soldier?

I'd like to go with you.

Are you serious?

Even if there are many difficulties

and dangers,

would you still fight alongside me?

I do.

The tea is gone cold.

I'll send for some hot.

Shaoyao.

Don't bother.

I'm leaving now.

Your Highness,

do you also think that I shouldn't go my own way?

Your Majesty puts the country first,

which makes me admire.

I have an engagement with Your Majesty.

Even if we're not engaged,

in my heart,

I have regarded the South Ting as home as the North Jing.

No big difference.

Now the South Ting border is in danger,

I am willing to accompany Your Majesty to the front,

to fight against the enemy together.

As long as I go there,

there is no excuse for the North Jing not to dispatch troops.

I appreciate your kindness.

However,

this is the battle between the South Ting and the West Liang.

Our soldiers should

take on the responsibility of protecting our country.

And,

The battle is intense.

Your Highness,

I can't let you take risks.

I'm here to say goodbye to you.

Because I see you as a confidant.

I don't want to hide anything from you.

I also hope Your Highness

could keep the secret for me.

I'm here to thank you in advance.

Please don't prevaricate.

Go and pass my words.

Ministers,

His Majesty is worried about the State Affairs recently.

He rarely got any sleep.

Now he finally could fall asleep.

We dare not to disturb.

You'd better go back.

No...

Come back later.

I want to see your majesty. I want to see your majesty.

His Majesty, His Majesty, His Majesty.

God bless, God bless.

Wish everything goes well.

God bless, God bless.

When I was a child,

except for hunting in paddock with the late Emperor,

I had no chance to step out the palace.

I've never expected that this departure is

directly bound for the battlefield.

How many days will it take to

reach the garrison?

If we ride with full speed,

we will arrive by tomorrow morning.

Let's go now.

When did

you realize

you fall in love with someone?

It was such a moment

that you no longer care about any commitment

and you don't care about the results.

Even though I am ordinary and small,

I can defy all difficulties as long as with you.

It's the most glorious moment

in my life.

Is Your Highness worried

about the Emperor of the South Ting, Yang Mo?

State Preceptor!

Does Your Highness know

His Majesty refused you

but leave the palace with Li Xia?

We have paid a lot for our love,

hoping the sacrifice could pay off,

and we can fight

hand in hand in adversity.

We thought that would be the only way to honor love.

But what the most precious is

for the rest of life,

whenever I need,

you'll be by my side,

whenever you need, I'll be with you.
