Emperor!

Emperor! Emperor!Emperor!

Call for the doctor!

Emperor! Emperor! Emperor!

Greetings empress.

At ease. Thank you, niang niang.

How is the emperor?

The emperor is fine, he's just a bit too tired.

He needs to rest well.

Go back, all of you, go back.

The emperor really is fine.

Lian er, why don't you go back to your Chu Xiu Gong?

When he's better,

then you can come again.

Empress! Okay.

Then we'll leave first.

We'll come some other day to see him.

I'm tired also.

I'm going to go back first.

Sending the empress.

Sending the empress.

Yu Shu, why did you hold me back?

I want to go see the emperor.

The empress's brother just died,

if it wasn't for the emperor's decree,

she wouldn't restrict you from entering.

This is the emperor's meaning.

But why doesn't the emperor want me to go in?

Maybe he really is too tired,

we can see him tomorrow though. Ask him then.

This place didn't change at all.

Yeah.

I heard some people in the palace say

that ever since you left, the emperor ordered people everyday to come here and tidy it up.

He didn't let them touch anything.

He didn't let them move anything either.

Is that true?

Actually, the emperor is quite good also.

Prince...

Prince and niang niang must be all hungry,

I'll go to the kitchen to see if there are anything good to eat.

Prince...I I know.

It doesn't matter what decision you make.

I will always support you.

Prince, don't speak like that.

If you are like this, I'm more conflicted at heart.

I don't want you to be conflicted.

I want you to live well.

If you will live better here,

then you can just stay.

Outside of the palace, as long as I know you are doing well,

I will be very happy.

Thank you.

For me to be able to know you in this life is my luck.

Same for me.

We're still friends, right?

Of course.

Then when you leave,

I'll send you, okay?

No need.

I don't want you to see me leave.

I want you to think that I'm still by your side.

I will do the same.

I hope that when we think of one another,

we only think of the happy memories.

That way, our lives weren't spent without meaning.

I'm leaving.

Drink, drink, drink, drink to death!

Why is it you?

And you ask, after you left, I looked for you all over the streets.

A lot of my shoes got got holes in them!

If I didn't come here to test my luck,

who knows where I would find you?

Go away.

I'm a useless man.

I can't even raise the girl I like.

I'm not suitable for you.

Things like relationships

there is only like or not like,

there is no suitable, not suitable.

I don't care if you are a good person or a bad person.

I don't care if you can earn money or can't earn money.

Either way, I've decided on you.

Let me tell you, if you keep being like this, you will regret it.

I won't regret it.

You say you won't regret it.

After ten or eight years, you won't think so.

Your mother is one with experience.

She can see everything clearly. Why can't you?

Prince, no one knows what is going to happen in the future.

Why aren't you willing to just try?

I can try.

I can try, no problem. But you can't!

You're still young,

so perfect,

either way I don't want to talk to you about this.

Stop following me.

I don't care, unless you say that you don't like me.

I don't like you, does that work?

You do like me.

I don't like you.

You do. Your eyes say that you do like me.

Hey, this is the palace.

If you come inside,you'll have to be murdered. Think clearly!

Why did you come back?

There is a girl...

she wants to marry me,

I didn't have a better place to hide.

I think

that the girl must be very ugly,

so she scared you. No.

She's the best girl in the world.

Hearing you say that, you must like her a lot.

Then why don't you marry her?

I don't have any status right now.

Everything in life has to be taken care of by me.

Before the music, chess (go), books, and art...became wood, rice, oil, and salt.

All of my fantasies of having a relationship are gone.

Before, I thought my art was really good and that my martial arts skills was good.

I tried to use my talent to support myself.

But when I got out, I realized,

Outside of the sky, there's sky. Outside of the people, there is people.

Life originally isn't a easy thing.

It's harder to give someone else happiness.

Other than love her her, it's better to just let her go.

Emperor, let me stay in the palace for a while.

Until she stops bothering me and thinks clearly,

then I'll leave. I won't bring any trouble to you.

This palace is your home.

You can stay as long as you want.

Thank you, emperor.

Prince, I didn't think that the ending would be like this.

Look at my stupid mouth.

I really shouldn't have said that the emperor was good.

This is fate.

Also the emperor is really good.

But I like the prince with my mistress.

When the emperor is with her, she's always crying.

But when you are with her, she smiles.

In the future, the emperor will make her smile also.

Before, I used to think that the emperor didn't like her.

After this,

I know just how important she is to the emperor.

Emperor made a royal decree to have Chu Xiu Gong be kept in its original state.

Prince, when will you be back?

I don't have status.

I just feel at rest.

I don't want to come back.

That way the emperor won't suspect, Lian Er won't be hurt...

Then what if we miss you?

Su gong gong, take care of yourself.

Goodbye. Prince!

Don't you have anything else to tell me?

I know you will treat her well.

I don't need to tell you anything.

Your servant sends you, prince.

Stop!

Bring him down!

Let go of him!

The emperor has orders to bring Guo Qing Wang down.

If you have any problems,

ask the emperor!

Take him away!

We're done!

Greetings emperor.

You came? Get up.

Why did you capture Guo Qing Wang?

He helped.

He helped? Where?

To protect you,

he risked his life to confront Zha Lan Tai.

Do you think he went to go save me or you?

Emperor!

The relationship between you two,

I have always been one eye open, one eye closed.

Even for that child,

I will suffer quietly by myself.

You guys walk together time after time again.

I don't dare not to suspect.

So you've always been suspicous of me!

Of course.

Didn't you go to the temple to pray for the spirit?

Didn't you fall in a pit?

Why did you end up with him?

Emperor, how did you know of all this.

Read it.

July 16, afternoon, Xi Fei niang niang came to the temple. She moved into Xi Xiang Fang.

Servant, I, wanted niang niang to wash clothes, clean up,

and didn't let her stop.

You see just how much I love you?

I'm always keeping track on you. And you?

How did you treat me?

Betrayal, distraction, excuses..

No, I didn't!

I never did!

Okay, I'll believe you one more time.

Everything will be gone.

Emperor, what are you going to do with the prince?

Send him to Ning Gu Ta and have him to never return.

That is not fair! You want fair?

I'll give you a fair choice!

You can choose to leave with him

and you can choose to stay.

It's up to you.

I'm willing to leave with him.

You chose him in the end.

You can leave.

Don't ever come back.

I bid the emperor goodbye.

Our conflict this month let our love make a mistake,

I'll wait for you to walk by at the bridge.

Will you listen to the problems I have in my heart?

Your smile is forever my devil.

Your promise in my heart will always be important.

Even if it is just to pray to the Buddha.

Wants to go back but scared to care.

Lian er, the emperor came out.

Do you want to see him?

I don't want to. I don't ever want to.

Lian er.

Since he ordered me to choose you,

then I have no path to return.

Let's happily go to Ning Gu Ta.

Happily live our lives.

Let's forget this place.

Okay.

Too many wrongs.

All is because of me, so forget me.

Buddha says no, no, no. No means too much love.

Let us have heavy thoughts, our hearts silent like a blossoming lotus.

Greetings empress.

At ease.

Emperor.

Greetings emperor.

Get up.

Emperor, it's time to eat your medicine.

Okay, okay.

This medicine is really bitter.

That's because your heart is bitter.

Looks like you are understanding more thoughts more and more.

I followed you for so many years.

What you are thinking,

Zhen er understands everything.

Except...

except you don't care what

I am thinking in my heart.

Here.

Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this.

I will give the rest of my time to you,

hopefully it can mend somethings.

As long as your are fine,

what happens to me is fine.

Whatever?

Of course it should be a big deal.

Everything has meaning for it to be so painful.

If it really is "whatever"

then all the pain will not exist.

Emperor.

Emperor.

What is it?

This girl says she's Xi Fei niang niang's little sister

and she burst in to see you. Emperor, please speak.

Why did you come to find me?

I want to see Sheng Jun Wang.

So nineteenth prince is talking about you.

Don't you know that breaking into the palace is a death crime?

If it's death crime, it's death crime.

Then can you send word to him for me.

If we can't be together, death probably would be better.

Greetings emperor. get up.

Sit.

You know why I called for you?

The girl that was chasing you earlier was called Rong er, right?

It's Xi Fei niang naing's little sister, right?

How did you know?

She broke into the palace today and according to the rule, she was killed.

Not possible, you're joking with me.

I'm telling the truth.

Law does not involve relationship. I had no way also.

Really?

Why did it become like this?

I told her before that breaking into the palace means death.

Why didn't she listen to me?

Why didn't she listen to me?

Before she died, she told me,

if you two can't be together, she's willing to die.

I want to ask you, if she was still alive,

would you rather her to die and not marry her?

I'll marry her, I'll definitely marry her.

Then fine. Take her body away.

That way her spirit in the sky can get some comfort.

Come here!

Rong er...

Open your eyes.

I'll marry you home.

You have to swear on your words.

If you can cherish, then cherish it well.

Don't wait till it is too late to regret it.

Life is very short.

You can't get too much out of it.

Cherish it well.

Rong er, I won't abandon you for life.

I will never!

I won't separate from you again, Rong er.

Lian er...

if you are in pain,

then just cry it out. If you cry it out,

it'll be better.

I'm not sad.

Look at me.

Do I look like I'm sad?

These cherry blossoms are so pretty.

So fragrant!

Lian er, ever since we left the palace till now, you've been jumping around.

The more you are like this, the more I get anxious.

I don't know what you are thinking and what you want.

If you want me to help you with anything, just tell me.

I'm fine.

Lian er, Lian er!

Lian er!

Doctor, how is she?

It's just that her fire hit her heart and she couldn't really handle it.

It messed up her pulse. Is it serous?

It's pretty serious.

If she can get over her problem in her heart, then she can recover.

But if she can't get over it, then she'll have a possibility of death.

What?

I'll go prescribe her some medicine

to keep her pulse going. When she wakes up, try to get her over it.

Okay.

Then I'll leave first.

Then we'll trouble you

Lian er.

Wake up.

Wake up.

I have a pearl.

Emperor helped me find the pearl.

At that time, the emperor was a eunuch...

we stole food from the kitchen together.

I went to the battlefield with the emperor.

I want to live and die with the emperor.

Emperor. Lian er...

Lian er, don't be like this.

Wake up.

Let me tell you,

the emperor still wants you.

He still wants you.

Greetings emperor. Please rise.

Aren't you going to ask me why I captured you?

Didn't you come here to tell me the answer?

Zha Lan Tai made me eat a lot of Wu Shi San.

The poison entered my system completely.

For it to heal, it'll be very hard.

Emperor.

We were born on this world,

how long we live is not important.

What is important is to give the people around you a good ending.

I don't want Lian er to know that I left this world.

So the best plan is

just for you to take her away.

But Lian er's personality...you know.

For her to just leave like this,

she won't agree.

So I locked you up.

You want her to misunderstand you?

Yes.

If she hates me, then even when I die,

she won't be in too much pain.

Also, you'll be by her side...she should be happy.

I hope she's happy.

Can you promise me that?

Tomorrow, I will write a decree for you to go to Ning Gu Ta.

And she will go with you.

I don't have any favors to ask,

I just want that while I am still alive,

for her not to know the answer...okay?

Yes.

I'll leave.

Treat Lian er well.

I'll send the emperor.

Out of the way, out of the way.

Out of the way, out of the way.

It's you again.

Official Li, it's a misunderstanding!

Official Li, misunderstanding...

Misunderstanding! Official Li!

Misunderstanding!

It doesn't matter what goal he had in mind.

He tried to kill the emperor, that's real.

So he can't avoid a death penalty.

Official, even if he can't avoid it..

please let the emperor hear what he has to say.

His bitterness in his stomach..

had been there for half his life,

now he is about to die...

can't you just let him speak it out?

Official, I don't beg for anything else.

I just beg that you can talk to the emperor,

let the emperor investigate it.

Why would he try to assassinate the emperor?

Why would he do what he did..

Not possible. Go back and heal. Don't come anymore.

Don't let your sister worry for you.

No, Official...I beg you, I beg you.

This is his last hope!

I can't let him leave with regrets!

I can't!

Stop talking about it to much. You're injured severely, go back.

Official Li, Official Li,

I beg you, I beg you.

Even if you use my life in place of his,

I am willing with no regrets.

Their relationship came to this point

yet they are both willing to die for one another.

Then as for me and her...

can we be like this?

Fine, I'll tell the emperor in your favor.

Thank you, Official Li. Thank you, Official Li!

Thank you, Official Li. Thank you!

Emperor, how about we bring the prisoner out?

This place is too dirty and

your body isn't well.

I came to see him just to see what he has to say about what happened.

If we made a normal conversation into an interrogation,

then there is no meaning in it anymore.

Dog emperor, I'll kill you!

Dog emperor, I'll kill you!

Let him off.

Emperor...this..

I will treat him with dignity.

I believe he is also a man of dignity.

Yes. Loosen the chains.

Yes.

You can all go away, I want

to talk to this man alone.

Emperor.

If anything, call for me.

If you want to kill me, then kill me. Why do you want to say so many useless things?

If I want to kill you, you already died a thousand times.

Today, I want to ask you

what I did wrong.

Why do you try to kill me over and over again?

What you did in the past,

how can you not know?

Ever since I got the throne, I cared for the people and I didn't do anything that I will be ashamed of.

What is the reason for you to kill so many?

Is this what a dignified man should do?

So it was this situation.

Then I will explain it to you

why I did what I did.

I believed that I was taking care of the citizens and doing the right thing.

I don't care. I care about the country's attitude...

the citizens' thoughts.

Peace has settled on conflict.

You say, just when the sky was at peace,

should it be messed up by those people?

The citizens just suffered the pain of battle.

I know. That you are Lu Liu Yang's student.

If you didn't see it before, I do have a book here.

You can take a good look.

What you said makes sense,

but killing people without even thinking...

Emperor you killed who you had to kill. You locked up who you had to lock up.

Why did you abuse my family at Ning Gu Ta?

This was my fault.

For me to be a ruler, to rule such a big country..

there are bound to be problems.

All the people that did wrong have gotten what they deserved.

As the ruler of this country, I will apologize.

Looks like I'm wrong.

You truly are a good emperor.

Good thing that my assassination attempts didn't work.

I don't have any regrets.

Kill me.

Lu Liu Yang, if he didn't continue on what he wanted..

if he thought for the people,

he would've been a great talent.

Let me ask you,

besides you as his student...

are there other living people?

No.

Come here.

Turn around.

You've been killed by the emperor personally. In the future, no more questioning on this matter.

Long live the emperor!

Official Li, I've done wrong in the future. Please forgive me.

You are very lucky.

To try to kill the emperor is a big crime and you managed to be excused by the emperor.

You are the first person.

I won't speak more.

Live well for the rest of your life.

Official.

Why did he suddenly offer to come see me?

Did someone help me? From what I know, the decision was made.

It shouldn't have had this result..

A woman that you know came to my door and rolled on a mat of needles for you.

I believe that even God was touched.

You know who she is, right?

Mudan...

Mudan. Brother Ceng.

I must find Mudan.

I must find Mudan. Brother Ceng!

I want to go find Mudan! Brother Ceng!

Just remember to rest more.

Remember to help her change her medicine every day.

Don't let her injuries touch water.

Okay, I know.

No need to send me further.

Go slowly.

You came back.

Mudan is severely injured.

We didn't have any other place to go.

I'm safe now,

you're still going to leave?

I already died at heart.

I don't want to have anything to dowith you.

I don't want to be hurt by you.

I don't want to face an empty room and cry.

Yun er, I won't let you cry again.

Believe me. I will treat you well.

If you are willing, I'll give you myself, my heart, my everything to you.

I don't need it anymore.

A real relationship, to you,

is just an empty tower.

For me, is just a tower in the sea.

If it is like that, why can't we just back up?

Mudan is injured severely.

We'll have to stay here for a few days.

When she gets better,

we will leave immediately.

You really want to be like this?

You must have both of us in pain?

To pain longer is worse than to pain for a little while.

If there is no hope, then there will be no disappointment.

Brother Ceng! Brother Ceng, where are you?

Brother Ceng!

Look at that stupid girl.

Already up to this point,

still she can't forget about him.

That is because he is her medicine.

She is willing.

And it resulted her to be injured so.

Even if she is injured,

she's happy.

Okay, I will make you believe

that the situation isn't what you think it is.
