Love & The Emperor EP21 Once part, farewell forever

Is there any private room?

Yeah,yeah,this way please

Could you be so kind to tell me

why is there red cloth

everywhere along the way,

some good things happening?

Miss

I can tell that you haven't been out for days.

Three days later comes the wedding day

of the Majesty and the princess of the North Jing.

The whole nation is in elation.

Your Highness

Your Majesty

What makes Your Majesty available

to come to the Lingqi Hall today?

What are Your Highness doing?

Peony is the king of all flowers

that stands for prosperity and auspiciousness

and shows the celestial sovereignty and royal majesty.

I want to use it for wedding decoration.

Flowers can not live

once they leave the branches

no matter how beautiful they are.

I'm about to leave the Lingqi Hall.

I'll grow the flowers that come from the North

outside the Yanying Hall on my own in days to come.

Since peony is the king of all flowers,

of course, it can only be appreciated from a far distance instead of picking it.

Why not just let it remain on the branches?

I didn't expect Your Majesty

to cherish flowers like this.

I will do what Your Majesty say then.

Ruxiang

Ruxiang

Ruxiang

I'm sorry that you were wronged.

The majesty will get married three days later

and a general amnesty will be decreed.

When you get back to Xiliang,

I'll pay visit.

There's nothing wronged.

I'm just concerned about Li Xia.

I don't know if she made it to the North safely.

I'm still worried about Li Xia

at this very time.

Do I need to apologize to Yang Mo?

Not at all.

It's like what you said

this is what Fan Ruxiang is.

Do you think

that Li Xia have ever loved Yang Mo?

As for this,

none but Li Xia herself knows the truth.

Here you are back.

What's good for today?

When can we be back?

Yang Mo's going to tie the knot three days later.

If you want me to be disillusioned,

then you've done enough.

Since we came here,

I haven't seen you figuring out ways to get back.

Three days later is the day

for us to go back.

Take it slow and don't choke on it.

We will go for a good meal

on your release from prison tomorrow.

No need.

I wanna take a breather tomorrow when I'm back

and set off to the West Liang in the morning the day after tomorrow.

Why are you in such a hurry?

Yang Mo is to tie the knot the day after tomorrow.

Don't you wait a little bit?

Li Xia and I are like sisters

I don't want to see Yang Mo marry anyone.

It's just like Li Xia would not like

to see you marry someone else neither.

Alright, it's up to you.

But are you really not

going to have a drink with me?

Nah

I'm under sentence after all

and there have been so many things going on recently.

I'm indeed not in the mood for a drinking.

I wanna go back to the West Liang as soon as possible

to get rid of the earthly chaos

and calm down alone.

But at least

let me take you home tomorrow.

Although it's just a game,

I still wish that Yang Mo

can bring his dream to life.

Maybe I'm playing things

fast and loose in his eyes.

I should have played that game

of the Stone of Truth with him.

At least it can make him understand that I am sincere.

Wait,

The Stone of Truth indicated that it's a matter of fact

that Xiao Ning assassinated Yang Mo time and again.

Why on earth did Xiao Ning attempt to assassinate Yang Mo?

The Ministry of Rites and the Tmperial Board of Astronomy

have had everything settled.

The blessed moment will be a quarter to ten tomorrow morning

I will tie the knot with the princess of the North Jing.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

-My beloved deputies, as you were.-Thank you,Your Majesty.

The royal wedding is greeted by a universal jubilation.

We would like to proclaim a general amnesty.

General Guarding Distant Lands Fan Ruxiang should be exonerated

and banished to the border of the West Liang.

Wise and shrewd,Your Majesty.

Li Xia

Li Xia

Now that your words have passed the test of the Stone of Truth,

you are intended to kill Yang Mo.

If it's just for the sake of taking me home,

if it's just for finding out that Yang Mo's lying to me,

then why are you making an attempt on his life?

You've been putting off finding our way back.

What on earth is your intention?

It doesn't matter if I tell you the truth

since you are so long to know it.

The story is coming to an end anyway.

I have told you before

the reason why you failed to find the game-saving button

is that there's a serious bug in the game.

We've tried the whole bag of tricks but failed to solve the problem.

So the only way to get back is

Brother Ning

Xia has already been unconscious for several hours.

What about cutting off the power?

We can't...

At this time of crisis

we can't just give up like this.

There is still one way left

to exit normally.

Hold on, Li Xia

As long as Yang Mo dies,

you will be back soon.

Yang Mo's dead.

My apologies, Li Xia.

I know you are heartbroken.

But it's the only way to get back.

I want to know

If I

am as fond as Xie Qingshu

then will my beloved

be as brave as Fan Ruxiang?

If I do everything just to get to you,

then would you be the one

waiting for me to come?

Why are you gazing at me like this?

You are so gorgeous.

Li Xia

Your Majesty

Thank you, Your Majesty

Your Majesty, after an extensive investigation,

I have been unable to retrace the whereabouts

of Li Xia and Xiao Ning yet.

Your humble service here to ask for your punishment.

Punish me, Your Majesty.

Well, there's no need to retrace.

Tomorrow will be

my wedding day with the princess of the North Jing.

After the wedding ceremony,

pull the Imperial Bodyguards

that distributed throughout the city back.

As you wish, Your Majesty.

To be honest,I never wanted it to be like this.

But at this point there's nothing else I can do.

In the game's setting,

Yang Mo is the main line character.

It's either you die or he dies.

That's how the story ends

and how you can get back.

So

every attempt to assassinate Yang Mo

is your call.

It isn't.

The incident that Consort Yue seduced Xie Qingshu into rebelling

and the toadstool incident in the reception banquet

are all the automatic generation of the gaming system.

Yang Mo should have dead

after the toadstool incident.

But because you have saved his life,

the direction of the whole story

has been changed.

I was afraid you would get drawn in deeper and deeper,

hence, I made the game harder

and got in here to save you on my own.

Do you really wanna enter the game and kill Yang Mo

so that the game can be over?

If I kill Yang Mo

and bring Li Xia back to real life,

Li Xia's gonna hate me so much.

Perhaps

she will let the cat out of the bag

that there's a bug in the alpha test of our game.

So my current plan is

to make Li Xia give up on Yang Mo first,

then kill Yang Mo

and bring Li Xia out in the end,

which can ensure that there's no risk at all.

You know the way to get back all the time.

Why were you lying to me?

Listen, Li Xia

It's a complicated situation now.

We'll be back soon.

I promise to spell this out for you when we're back,

Alright?

I'm going to save him now.

No, you can't.

Are you insane?

This is just a game.

They're all false, virtual and non-existent,

so their death doesn't matter at all.

But you and me

we are the real living human beings.

Do you see what I'm talking about?

No

In this place they are real people

and we are the false ones.

At least we can get back to the real life

after we die.

But what about them?

When they're dead, they're dead.

But you're still in coma in real world.

If there's anything going wrong in the game,

then no one can predict.

At least it's possible for me to come around.

But what about Yang Mo?

Dead is dead.

What if something happens to you?

What about the company?

What about the game?

You are the very first player in the alpha test.

Li Xia

Do me a favor

and do the company a favor

for the sake of the game.

I've taken what I and my company

can afford as a gamble.

I can not lose, Li Xia.

As long as you come back with me,

I accept all your conditions whatever they may be.

share of the company, position

I could have it all handed to you.

I'm the only person that treat you, Li Xia.

Alright

I'll come back with you.

Your Majesty

I have the A Split Second

and the fan with me

that were found in the Mingfu Yard that day.

I'll have the fan.

As for the A Split Second,

you turn it in the treasury.

Is that because Your Majesty think that

it's a suspicious evidence?

I wanna take one more look.

You've done your work.

You have my permission to withdraw.

Excuse me.

A wild goose leaves behind a voice.

I can only bear the way you are in mind like this.

Thank you.

I knew it

I'm not wrong about you.

You are mindful of the overall situations.

I'm hungry.

Okay, I'll go get you an apple.

Tomorrow

would be the red letter day of Yang Mo and Song Yueying.

In their wedding night

Song Yueying will start to act.

At that time, we can...

I don't belonged to the same world with you.

You're full of yourself in your heart from beginning to end.

I'm leaving tomorrow morning,

so I'm not gonna ask you to go in.

What's the reason?

I'm so devoted to be at your service and take you home

without even allowed

to have a hot drink?

Alright, come in please.

General

What's going on here?

Does Yang Mo's getting married

has anything to do with my home?

I'm leaving tomorrow morning,

but they're making me restless tonight.

That's it. I'll leave now.

General Fan

Don't be annoyed so quickly.

Look what's written

on the lanterns?

What are you doing, Xie Qingshu?

Ru Xiang, it's because you're leaving too soon

and the time is so limited

that this's all I can prepare for.

Fan Ruxiang

Will you marry me?

How could you, Xie Qingshu?

You

After you've gone to the border of the West Liang,

I have no idea when would be your return.

The reason why I did this

is to tell you that

whatever happens afterwards,

I, Xie Qingshu, will be there with you.

Till death do us part.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty

Don't die, Yang Mo.

The story isn't finished.

Hurry back

or you'll be late for the blessed moment.

The blessed moment for us

was actually last night.

It needs to be looked back

not to be gone after

Ruxiang

Li Xia

Why are you back, Li Xia?

Hold your tongue until we get in.

Fine, follow me.

Kneel

Long live Your Majesty.

Long live Your Royal Highness.

Why are you back again?

Don't you have any idea of

how great efforts we made

to see you off safely.

His majesty has already...

I knew it.

But I have to see his majesty today in the palace.

Ruxiang's right.

You shouldn't have come back.

It's all over.

Your coming back doesn't change anything.

No, it's far from coming to an end.

Ruxiang, General Xie

I beg your help.

I have to get into the palace today.

What is it about?

Just entrust me with it.

If you don't believe me,

then it's the same if you leave it to Ruxiang.

As for yourself,

you'd better get out of town quickly.

General Xie

Help me please, I beg you.

I know

there're a lot of things that

I can't explain at this very moment.

But the situation in the palace is very grave,

It would be too late if I don't do it now.

Why bother, Li Xia?

Shooting from the hip like this

would only kill you.

Since I risked my life to come back here,

I gave no thought to survival or death.

Please

It's a matter of great importance,

I have no choice but to do it by myself.

When all this is over,

I'll be at your disposal.

Please move on to the Yanying Hall, Your Royal Highness.

We should be safe here.

You go to the Imperial Kitchen.

I'll go to the Hanyuan Hall

Hurry up.

Here

Come on.

Your Majesty

General Defending the State Xie Qingshu is waiting to be called in.

Bring him in.

This way.

Nice

Nice

Nice

How nice.

Long live Your Majesty.

The humble me congratulates to Your Majesty and Your Royal Highness.

Wish you eternal love and have healthy babies early.

My beloved deputy, as you were.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Today is the red-letter day of the emperor.

What's the reason for General Xie

being so long in coming?

A leopard doesn't change his spots, General Xie.

There're always emergencies for you when something big happens.

Showing up late at the emperor's wedding

is such a sacrilege.

You have overstated your point.

General Fan's gone?

Yes

I've sent her out of the capital city.

General Fan has commanded the troops and marched.

You three, come here.

General Fan

Come in.

Hold your tongue, ladies.

I can only do this much.

The troops of Guarding Distant Lands are waiting for my command.

It's going against the imperial edict if I keep staying here.

After I left,

you can't be too cautious.

Ru Xiang

I can't thank you enough.

You don't need to.

The only thing I wish for

is that all I've done is worthwhile.

The borderland is full of roughness and steepness.

Take care of yourself.

Rest assured.

sis

I'm counting on you this time.

Cheers.

Nice

Amazing

Great

My beloved deputies

Today I'm pretty elated for I get married and crown an empress

and give a banquet in honour of you ministers.

Did you gentlemen enjoy yourselves?

Sure we did.

Yeah, of course

It's getting late.

Let's finish here.

Leave safely, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty

Take care of Your Majesty.

I know what to do.

Your Highness

Your Majesty still regards me as a princess?

Sorry to have kept Your Royal Highness waiting.

At least I have waited until you come.

I'd like Your Majesty

to have a cross-cupped wine with me, please.

My good empress

Is this cup of wine the most poisonous under heaven.

A Split Second?

Halt

These

are the curfew His Majesty

ordered himself earlier.

May you please be understanding

so that we can get them to his majesty,

otherwise, we would interrupt the first wedding night.

Go on, go on

Stop, you

You, you, you are...

Take it, it's for the emperor.

Hurry, Li Xia.

Stop, stop

Give it to me.

So this is what the princess of the North Jing

Song Yueying really like.

Your days in the Nanting Hall

when you wear your mask

and pretend to be vulnerable

must suck.

When did you find out?

At the very beginning

At the very beginning?

No way.

If I leave the West Liang making trouble continually

in my Nanting Palace only because they're powerful,

then I'm too incapable

of being a emperor.

How can I be worthy of you being my empress?

The only possibility is

that there're someone in the North Jing working in collusion with the West Liang.

I once suspected that

you are such an honourable princess

who's going to be my empress later,

but how can you be so foolish?

When did you ever

have thought about make me the empress?

It would be premature

to say that I'm foolish.

Why you care so much?

Don't I

have stupid times as well?

It was not until Xiao Ning touched the Stone of Truth

that I

decided that you

are his accomplice.

Then why did you let Xiao Ning go?

Your Highness made it

so seamlessly.

If I didn't let Xiao Ning go,

how can I let Li Xia go?

Without letting them go,

how can you decided that

the time had come?

Sure enough, I wasn't wrong about you.

It's true that you have statesmanship.

Pity!

I have endured hardships for years.

I'm a better ruler than you.

Li Xia, you can't...

Escort

Escort

Get him.

Li Xia

Li Xia, Li Xia, Li Xia

I, I'm finding the imperial physician now.

Ying, Ying

I'm going to the imperial physician.

Li Xia

Don't cry.

It's fine.

Why, why are you back?

There's a girl named Li Xia

who has predestinations with the emperor.

Xia has extraordinary abilities.

Stop

Bless the emperor.

Stop please.

The...

The apocalypse said

I'm to save you three times.

This's the third time.

You'd better take more care

of yourself hereafter.

I won't let you die.

I won't let you die.

I do not fear death.

But I have never

wanted to kill you indeed.

I knew it.

I knew it all along.

I let you go

for the purpose of you being alive.

I came back

also, for the purpose of you being alive.

Promise me.

Live well

and be a good emperor.

Li Xia, Li Xia

I won't let you die.

I won't let you die.

Li Xia, Li xia

Li Xia, Li Xia

Li Xia

Li Xia, Li Xia

Can you hear me?

How do you feel now?

Is the alpha testing over?

It's over.

Here

Here

Why can't I get up?

What has been happening to me?

Why am I crying?

You don't remember anything, do you?

We are inclined to console ourselves

by saying every ending is a new beginning.

However, not all the endings

are of our free will.

Not all the beginnings

are expectant.

If the past hasn't finished,

then the future would not come.
