= Love Like The Galaxy=

00:01:30.470 --> 00:01:33.590
=Episode 52=

00:05:00.630 --> 00:05:03.390
(Huo)

00:05:33.410 --> 00:05:35.410
(Niaoniao, from Father)
May the family grow and prosper.

00:05:35.410 --> 00:05:38.410
(Everything is fine back at home)
May the family grow and prosper.

00:06:43.820 --> 00:06:46.090
General!

00:06:46.410 --> 00:06:47.380
General!

00:06:49.020 --> 00:06:49.770
General!

00:09:09.530 --> 00:09:10.740
Please go and do

00:09:11.140 --> 00:09:12.620
what I ordered just now.

00:09:13.650 --> 00:09:16.260
(Five Years Later)
Yes. Lady Cheng.

00:09:21.410 --> 00:09:22.690
Place the lanterns upright.

00:09:23.020 --> 00:09:23.650
Yes.

00:09:39.570 --> 00:09:41.380
It's the new year again.

00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:43.650
Don't you want to go home?

00:09:43.930 --> 00:09:45.170
Your Majesty doesn't know this.

00:09:45.770 --> 00:09:47.650
My residence is very lively right now.

00:09:48.410 --> 00:09:51.020
Qiqi, Miss Qingcong and Cheng Yang

00:09:51.290 --> 00:09:52.340
all gave birth.

00:09:52.770 --> 00:09:54.050
If I go back,

00:09:54.290 --> 00:09:56.100
there might not be enough space for me.

00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:58.740
I'll just stay in Changqiu Palace
and accompany Your Majesty.

00:09:59.140 --> 00:10:00.020
Isn't that good?

00:10:04.890 --> 00:10:05.770
Your Majesty.

00:10:06.530 --> 00:10:07.650
It's the New Year today.

00:10:07.770 --> 00:10:08.860
Just like last year,

00:10:08.860 --> 00:10:10.020
we still have to make a wish.

00:10:32.930 --> 00:10:34.650
I wish

00:10:35.170 --> 00:10:36.980
for you to meet someone nice

00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:39.890
so I can see you get married

00:10:40.410 --> 00:10:41.530
and give birth to children

00:10:41.860 --> 00:10:43.500
when I'm still alive.

00:10:47.380 --> 00:10:49.260
Can't I stay single forever?

00:10:58.690 --> 00:11:01.020
It has been five years

00:11:01.410 --> 00:11:03.410
since I requested
to stay in Changqiu Palace

00:11:03.930 --> 00:11:05.650
and you've accompanied me
for five years.

00:11:06.050 --> 00:11:07.570
Haven't you thought it through?

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:10.980
I have.

00:11:12.020 --> 00:11:13.260
But I can't forgive.

00:11:16.690 --> 00:11:18.140
We are not fated together.

00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:20.980
We've bid farewell

00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:24.260
so it's no longer possible for us.

00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:28.650
What a pity.

00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:32.930
I wanted to ask
His Majesty to summon Zisheng back.

00:11:33.650 --> 00:11:36.020
Five years have passed after all.

00:11:36.410 --> 00:11:39.100
He has been suffering in the Northwest.

00:11:39.890 --> 00:11:41.170
It's time for him to return.

00:11:45.380 --> 00:11:47.170
It's just getting married
and giving birth.

00:11:47.890 --> 00:11:49.020
Can't it be with someone else?

00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:50.690
Why does it have to be him?

00:11:51.050 --> 00:11:53.340
I want you to marry the person you love

00:11:53.890 --> 00:11:56.050
instead of any random person.

00:11:59.810 --> 00:12:01.690
There's no difference

00:12:03.410 --> 00:12:04.770
for someone who is heartbroken.

00:12:09.530 --> 00:12:11.530
Then, I wish for you

00:12:12.890 --> 00:12:14.100
to have someone

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:16.460
to accompany you
for the rest of your life

00:12:17.170 --> 00:12:18.570
after I die.

00:12:22.690 --> 00:12:24.570
Your Majesty,
don't say something so inauspicious.

00:12:27.810 --> 00:12:29.100
Go and hang it up.

00:12:29.170 --> 00:12:30.020
Yes.

00:12:49.340 --> 00:12:50.220
Your Majesty.

00:12:51.530 --> 00:12:53.170
I will accompany you

00:12:53.890 --> 00:12:55.290
and take care of you forever.

00:12:55.650 --> 00:12:56.570
Isn't that good?

00:12:56.690 --> 00:12:58.050
Silly child.

00:12:59.810 --> 00:13:03.050
No matter how you want
to live the rest of your life,

00:13:03.050 --> 00:13:04.500
I will also support you.

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:08.500
Every path you want to take is the best.

00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:10.460
However,

00:13:11.570 --> 00:13:13.260
perhaps it's my greed,

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:15.570
I always hope for you

00:13:15.570 --> 00:13:18.460
to have a more complete life

00:13:20.290 --> 00:13:22.460
so I can feel more relief.

00:13:23.650 --> 00:13:24.530
Right now,

00:13:24.650 --> 00:13:26.460
even Fifth Princess has married.

00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:30.380
The one I'm most worried of

00:13:30.890 --> 00:13:32.140
is you.

00:13:43.890 --> 00:13:44.860
Look.

00:13:46.290 --> 00:13:47.340
The snow

00:13:48.170 --> 00:13:49.930
is so heavy.

00:14:52.170 --> 00:14:53.290
Your Majesty!

00:14:54.410 --> 00:14:55.380
Your Majesty!

00:14:56.170 --> 00:14:58.220
Your Majesty!

00:15:15.570 --> 00:15:16.500
Spare the formalities.

00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:21.690
How is

00:15:22.260 --> 00:15:23.860
Empress Xuan doing today?

00:15:24.530 --> 00:15:25.460
I heard

00:15:27.170 --> 00:15:28.170
she's not doing too well.

00:15:29.570 --> 00:15:30.860
Physician Sun said

00:15:32.980 --> 00:15:34.260
she can only live few months at the worst.

00:15:35.620 --> 00:15:36.620
If she's lucky,

00:15:38.260 --> 00:15:39.620
she might live to see spring.

00:15:48.140 --> 00:15:50.290
Shen'an's life has been tough.

00:15:51.140 --> 00:15:52.220
Heng and I

00:15:53.050 --> 00:15:54.260
wanted

00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:56.740
to visit her

00:15:57.340 --> 00:15:59.290
but she didn't want to see us.

00:16:00.690 --> 00:16:01.650
Shaoshang.

00:16:02.100 --> 00:16:03.340
You should accompany her more

00:16:03.810 --> 00:16:05.020
in my place.

00:16:06.890 --> 00:16:09.100
Empress Yue has been
sending food monthly

00:16:09.770 --> 00:16:12.050
and also a physician
to treat Her Majesty.

00:16:12.530 --> 00:16:13.770
Her Majesty accepted everything.

00:16:14.770 --> 00:16:16.410
Her Majesty also requested His Majesty

00:16:17.380 --> 00:16:18.500
to move her

00:16:18.930 --> 00:16:20.100
and return Changqiu Palace

00:16:20.530 --> 00:16:21.930
to Empress Yue.

00:16:22.650 --> 00:16:23.810
Her Majesty also said

00:16:24.260 --> 00:16:26.140
she should be

00:16:26.740 --> 00:16:28.410
called the Empress of Eastern Sea

00:16:29.170 --> 00:16:30.740
according to her son's land
at the Eastern Sea.

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:33.410
It has been five years.

00:16:34.690 --> 00:16:37.260
Why does Shen'an still remember this?

00:16:38.260 --> 00:16:39.890
Go back and tell her

00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:41.770
my message.

00:16:42.020 --> 00:16:43.260
Say it's troublesome

00:16:43.570 --> 00:16:44.740
to move our residence.

00:16:45.380 --> 00:16:47.340
I don't like to move
when I've been staying in one place

00:16:47.410 --> 00:16:48.890
for a long time.

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:50.860
I'm used to staying in Yongle Palace.

00:16:51.610 --> 00:16:52.700
I'm lazy to move.

00:16:53.770 --> 00:16:54.660
Also,

00:16:55.260 --> 00:16:56.180
there's no need

00:16:56.980 --> 00:16:58.460
to change her title.

00:16:59.420 --> 00:17:01.500
She will always be Empress Xuan.

00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:08.900
Titles

00:17:09.530 --> 00:17:11.500
have not always been my thing.

00:17:12.570 --> 00:17:13.530
If she

00:17:14.260 --> 00:17:15.740
mentions it again,

00:17:16.130 --> 00:17:18.370
that means she's trying to offend me.

00:17:19.290 --> 00:17:20.220
Understand?

00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:28.130
I thank Empress Yue

00:17:30.770 --> 00:17:31.980
in Empress Xuan's place.

00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:05.850
It has been five years.

00:18:07.180 --> 00:18:08.460
You didn't step out of the palace

00:18:09.770 --> 00:18:11.980
and we can only meet and talk here.

00:18:14.610 --> 00:18:15.770
I thought

00:18:16.570 --> 00:18:18.740
you want to live the rest of your life
in Changqiu Palace.

00:18:23.980 --> 00:18:25.050
You are the one

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:27.500
who always waits for me here.

00:18:28.330 --> 00:18:29.460
I came to speak with you

00:18:29.460 --> 00:18:31.050
because I can't stand it.

00:18:36.050 --> 00:18:37.050
What's the difference?

00:18:37.940 --> 00:18:39.090
Men and women of the world

00:18:39.330 --> 00:18:41.260
are always waiting for each other.

00:18:42.420 --> 00:18:43.740
There will be people
who they miss out on

00:18:44.020 --> 00:18:45.220
and people who
they can finally meet successfully.

00:18:47.050 --> 00:18:48.500
I wonder if Shaoshang

00:18:49.090 --> 00:18:50.420
is someone I can meet successfully

00:18:50.770 --> 00:18:52.050
or someone I will miss out on.

00:18:57.610 --> 00:18:59.330
Thank you for accompanying me
for all these years.

00:19:00.570 --> 00:19:01.980
The only person I meet is you

00:19:03.330 --> 00:19:05.260
since I'm staying here in seclusion.

00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:08.330
Aren't those servants
at Changqiu Palace people?

00:19:08.810 --> 00:19:10.180
What about Madam Zhai?

00:19:18.020 --> 00:19:18.810
Shaoshang.

00:19:23.020 --> 00:19:24.610
Empress Xuan wants you to get married.

00:19:26.330 --> 00:19:27.460
What is your plan?

00:19:28.850 --> 00:19:30.610
Empress Xuan's health is declining.

00:19:31.330 --> 00:19:33.660
She wants to see you get married
before she dies.

00:19:34.090 --> 00:19:35.570
However, among the people you can marry,

00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:39.330
there are only a few
who Empress Xuan trusts.

00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:45.330
Why don't you pick me?

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:51.050
Our backgrounds are similar.

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:52.420
You are looking for a husband

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:53.660
and I'm looking for a wife.

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:55.850
Why don't we

00:19:57.850 --> 00:19:58.850
just make do with it

00:19:59.610 --> 00:20:00.530
and make an act

00:20:01.290 --> 00:20:02.770
so Empress Xuan can be relieved.

00:20:06.130 --> 00:20:07.740
If you are in a rush to get married,

00:20:09.050 --> 00:20:11.130
why didn't you agree to the marriages

00:20:12.530 --> 00:20:14.090
that Official Ji arranged for you?

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:18.610
Yuan Shanjian.

00:20:20.700 --> 00:20:21.770
I know what you are thinking

00:20:23.290 --> 00:20:24.940
but I can't give you what you want.

00:20:31.370 --> 00:20:32.290
Shaoshang.

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:34.740
Do you know

00:20:35.090 --> 00:20:36.500
the reason why all your marriages

00:20:36.810 --> 00:20:38.420
have been failures?

00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:40.770
Because you are short-sighted.

00:20:41.050 --> 00:20:41.850
Look.

00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:44.260
My parents raised me
in a free environment.

00:20:44.610 --> 00:20:45.610
You want freedom.

00:20:46.050 --> 00:20:47.180
No one is freer

00:20:47.370 --> 00:20:48.850
than me in the capital.

00:20:50.370 --> 00:20:51.850
We are most suitable for each other.

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:53.370
How do you know

00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:55.420
you can't give me what I want?

00:20:57.770 --> 00:20:58.940
What do you want?

00:21:01.260 --> 00:21:02.900
Since we were born,

00:21:03.180 --> 00:21:04.810
we have been slightly mean.

00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:06.460
We can be ward mates

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:08.020
and we can be allies.

00:21:09.020 --> 00:21:10.370
We trust each other

00:21:10.570 --> 00:21:11.700
and won't betray each other

00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:13.420
because our goals are aligned.

00:21:15.090 --> 00:21:16.500
I cherish myself more

00:21:16.850 --> 00:21:18.050
compared to a certain person

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:20.130
and won't put myself at risk.

00:21:22.530 --> 00:21:23.370
So,

00:21:24.810 --> 00:21:25.810
I'm more suitable for you

00:21:27.290 --> 00:21:28.290
than him.

00:21:57.330 --> 00:21:58.180
I have

00:21:58.770 --> 00:22:00.610
summoned Zisheng back to the capital.

00:22:00.770 --> 00:22:01.660
He will

00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:03.260
arrive soon.

00:22:08.180 --> 00:22:09.330
People always

00:22:09.850 --> 00:22:12.700
can't let go of
their emotional entanglement.

00:22:13.850 --> 00:22:16.020
They are trapped by that

00:22:16.980 --> 00:22:18.610
and finally end up

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:21.850
in a more painful situation.

00:22:23.810 --> 00:22:24.980
The past

00:22:25.770 --> 00:22:27.570
will remain as the past.

00:22:29.130 --> 00:22:32.090
We need to cherish
our present and future.

00:22:33.260 --> 00:22:36.570
If you want your future to be smooth,

00:22:37.290 --> 00:22:39.290
you have to break through

00:22:39.610 --> 00:22:42.090
your emotional entanglement.

00:22:51.370 --> 00:22:52.740
If I still have him

00:22:56.220 --> 00:22:57.530
in my heart right now,

00:23:00.220 --> 00:23:01.290
are you still willing to marry me?

00:23:01.290 --> 00:23:02.050
Yes.

00:23:13.810 --> 00:23:14.900
I can wait for you

00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:17.370
to forget about him slowly.

00:23:19.260 --> 00:23:20.460
I will keep waiting

00:23:22.260 --> 00:23:23.530
until the day you turn around

00:23:24.740 --> 00:23:26.090
and see me.

00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:54.130
Your Majesty.

00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:57.770
I request to leave the palace for once.

00:23:59.050 --> 00:24:00.460
What for?

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:03.090
To get engaged with Yuan Shanjian.

00:24:17.020 --> 00:24:18.370
Your Majesty, sit down.

00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:20.460
Even if you stretch your neck,

00:24:20.530 --> 00:24:21.500
Zisheng

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:23.570
won't be able to fly back.

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:25.500
Do you think

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:27.420
an accident happened to him on the way?

00:24:29.420 --> 00:24:31.090
I shouldn't have asked
Third Prince to welcome him.

00:24:31.290 --> 00:24:32.420
Didn't he send someone back

00:24:32.420 --> 00:24:35.570
to say they have just entered
the capital gates 15 minutes ago?

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:36.770
It takes some time

00:24:36.770 --> 00:24:39.180
to reach the palace
from the capital gates.

00:24:39.370 --> 00:24:42.530
Do you think Zisheng
has wings on his back?

00:24:43.260 --> 00:24:45.130
Your Majesty!

00:24:45.330 --> 00:24:47.090
Your Majesty! He's here!

00:24:47.090 --> 00:24:48.220
General Huo has returned!

00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:49.050
He's back?

00:24:49.290 --> 00:24:50.570
Hurry! Go!

00:24:50.570 --> 00:24:51.500
Yes!

00:24:52.050 --> 00:24:53.850
He's back.

00:24:56.530 --> 00:24:57.420
Zisheng.

00:25:16.700 --> 00:25:17.530
How alike.

00:25:18.610 --> 00:25:19.660
He's really alike.

00:25:21.090 --> 00:25:22.570
Zisheng is growing

00:25:22.810 --> 00:25:25.220
to become like Huo Chong.

00:25:55.770 --> 00:25:57.260
I, Huo Buyi, the criminal,

00:26:00.290 --> 00:26:01.610
am here to see Your Majesty.

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:05.090
Zisheng.

00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:06.500
Stand up.

00:26:07.420 --> 00:26:09.220
Let me take a good look at you.

00:26:14.500 --> 00:26:15.940
It's great to see you back.

00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:17.900
It's great to see you back.

00:26:22.180 --> 00:26:23.610
It has been five years.

00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:36.660
You are so generous.

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:38.570
You left all the capable people

00:26:39.130 --> 00:26:40.460
in the capital.

00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:43.020
Shaoshang has never left the palace
for five years.

00:26:43.180 --> 00:26:44.330
Do you think
she needs you to protect her?

00:26:45.050 --> 00:26:46.260
You, on the other hand,

00:26:46.530 --> 00:26:47.420
got a useless person

00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:49.810
to stay beside you.

00:26:50.610 --> 00:26:53.290
You gained new injuries
before your old ones are healed.

00:26:53.500 --> 00:26:54.530
Do you want to die?

00:26:56.810 --> 00:26:57.570
You.

00:26:58.460 --> 00:26:59.290
Tell me.

00:27:00.770 --> 00:27:01.900
How did your Young Master

00:27:02.530 --> 00:27:03.940
get injured?

00:27:04.460 --> 00:27:05.810
Five years ago,

00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:08.180
General Wan was assassinated
by the remnants of Emperor Li

00:27:08.370 --> 00:27:09.810
so Young Master went to rescue him
with only a few men.

00:27:10.090 --> 00:27:11.530
However, all of them
were suicidal soldiers.

00:27:11.530 --> 00:27:12.530
Their methods were strange.

00:27:12.700 --> 00:27:13.980
We had fewer people

00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:15.610
so Young Master got injured.

00:27:16.090 --> 00:27:17.610
Why did you go and rescue him?

00:27:17.980 --> 00:27:19.020
Didn't I ask

00:27:19.460 --> 00:27:21.810
Yuan Shanjian's father
to lead an army to rescue him?

00:27:22.850 --> 00:27:24.180
I'm not sure.

00:27:24.460 --> 00:27:26.050
Young Master wouldn't tell me.

00:27:26.740 --> 00:27:29.530
In less than two years,
Young Master risked his life again.

00:27:29.850 --> 00:27:30.770
This time,

00:27:30.770 --> 00:27:32.180
he went to suppress the bandits at Shu.

00:27:32.290 --> 00:27:33.810
General Cheng Song was ambushed.

00:27:33.810 --> 00:27:34.660
Young Master...

00:27:34.660 --> 00:27:35.500
Fei!

00:27:36.290 --> 00:27:37.090
Enough.

00:27:41.130 --> 00:27:42.220
I see.

00:27:42.700 --> 00:27:43.660
I was wondering

00:27:43.850 --> 00:27:46.330
why Cheng Song didn't
come to acknowledge his achievement

00:27:46.460 --> 00:27:48.530
when he returned.

00:27:49.900 --> 00:27:50.770
Turns out

00:27:50.980 --> 00:27:53.850
someone was helping him behind his back.

00:27:54.610 --> 00:27:56.770
I just don't want
my compatriot to be trapped.

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:58.770
Providing support

00:27:59.740 --> 00:28:01.570
is what I'm supposed to do.

00:28:04.530 --> 00:28:05.660
Does Shaoshang know

00:28:06.770 --> 00:28:08.090
what you did?

00:28:10.370 --> 00:28:12.180
Are you hoping

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:15.370
for Shaoshang to forgive you
because of this

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:17.180
and reconcile with you?

00:28:18.130 --> 00:28:19.660
I did something wrong.

00:28:21.610 --> 00:28:23.500
I dare not ask Shaoshang to forgive me.

00:28:24.460 --> 00:28:26.700
She doesn't like me
controlling her life.

00:28:27.500 --> 00:28:29.090
If she knew I did all that,

00:28:30.220 --> 00:28:31.700
she will only hate me more.

00:28:35.610 --> 00:28:37.260
I was selfish.

00:28:39.460 --> 00:28:40.850
But that's all.

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:45.020
Do you

00:28:45.460 --> 00:28:47.020
really not have any other intentions?

00:28:51.420 --> 00:28:52.260
I don't.

00:29:00.420 --> 00:29:01.610
That's good to hear.

00:29:05.050 --> 00:29:05.980
Right now,

00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:10.610
I asked Third Prince to
oversee the Land Distribution Order.

00:29:11.420 --> 00:29:12.460
Since you have returned,

00:29:12.610 --> 00:29:14.090
you should help him

00:29:14.530 --> 00:29:15.660
implement this order.

00:29:16.500 --> 00:29:20.020
This will affect the empire's future.

00:29:20.570 --> 00:29:22.770
You must not treat it lightly.

00:29:25.290 --> 00:29:26.290
Yes.

00:29:28.570 --> 00:29:29.740
Today,

00:29:30.130 --> 00:29:31.980
it's Shaoshang's first time
leaving the palace

00:29:32.090 --> 00:29:33.530
for the last five years.

00:29:33.810 --> 00:29:35.570
She is going with Yuan Shanjian

00:29:35.940 --> 00:29:37.420
to meet his parents.

00:29:38.530 --> 00:29:41.500
They are getting engaged soon.

00:29:44.610 --> 00:29:45.850
From now on,

00:29:46.220 --> 00:29:47.290
both of you

00:29:47.980 --> 00:29:49.610
will be going your separate ways.

00:29:52.850 --> 00:29:54.420
Official Yuan is steady.

00:29:55.290 --> 00:29:56.500
He knows what he is doing.

00:29:58.260 --> 00:29:59.260
Lady Cheng...

00:30:04.130 --> 00:30:05.330
Lady Cheng can have someone to rely on

00:30:08.330 --> 00:30:10.020
by marrying him.

00:30:14.980 --> 00:30:16.020
What about you?

00:30:17.420 --> 00:30:18.530
What about

00:30:19.090 --> 00:30:20.740
your future?

00:30:22.570 --> 00:30:23.610
Even Cui You

00:30:23.610 --> 00:30:26.940
who is faithful to your aunt

00:30:27.130 --> 00:30:28.090
said

00:30:28.260 --> 00:30:32.130
to leave the position of his wife empty
and marry a concubine.

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:34.090
I see you

00:30:34.370 --> 00:30:37.050
all alone

00:30:38.330 --> 00:30:39.810
and I feel bad.

00:30:41.740 --> 00:30:44.290
Father, don't worry about Zisheng.

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:46.050
I heard

00:30:46.050 --> 00:30:47.370
when Zisheng was injured

00:30:47.370 --> 00:30:48.850
at the Northwestern Army Camp,

00:30:49.370 --> 00:30:50.460
Lady Luo

00:30:50.460 --> 00:30:52.370
was taking care of him
by his side daily.

00:30:52.940 --> 00:30:53.770
Apparently,

00:30:53.770 --> 00:30:54.740
Lady Luo

00:30:54.740 --> 00:30:57.260
is different now
in her way of speech and personality.

00:30:57.570 --> 00:30:58.770
Whenever she sees other people,

00:30:58.850 --> 00:31:00.220
she tells them

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:02.740
she will marry Zisheng soon
since he is back in the capital now.

00:31:06.940 --> 00:31:08.050
Your Highness.

00:31:08.900 --> 00:31:10.810
There's nothing between Lady Luo and me.

00:31:10.810 --> 00:31:12.260
There's no way we are getting married.

00:31:13.050 --> 00:31:13.810
Fei.

00:31:14.050 --> 00:31:14.460
Yes.

00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:15.660
When we return,

00:31:15.850 --> 00:31:17.740
send a dowry to Lady Luo

00:31:18.050 --> 00:31:19.330
and help her find a husband.

00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:21.850
You are really quick

00:31:22.260 --> 00:31:23.980
in denying everything.

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:30.460
Young Master.

00:31:31.130 --> 00:31:33.700
Are you really not going to see
Fourth Young Lady Cheng anymore?

00:31:34.050 --> 00:31:36.370
When I finish rebuilding Huo Family's
graveyard and ancestral hall,

00:31:38.420 --> 00:31:39.740
I will tell my ancestors

00:31:40.610 --> 00:31:42.050
that I will not get married
and have children forever.

00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:45.260
I ask for nothing else

00:31:47.050 --> 00:31:48.130
in my life.

00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:51.090
Young Master.

00:31:51.330 --> 00:31:53.330
You are obviously
not thinking it through.

00:35:31.900 --> 00:35:32.820
What's wrong with your hands?

00:35:33.250 --> 00:35:34.330
It's just frostbite.

00:35:34.900 --> 00:35:35.820
It's fine.

00:35:45.690 --> 00:35:46.900
I've adjusted the stirrup.

00:35:49.050 --> 00:35:50.570
Lady Cheng, be careful when you

00:35:51.820 --> 00:35:52.900
ride a horse in the future.

00:36:02.020 --> 00:36:03.210
Thank you, General Huo.

00:36:06.500 --> 00:36:08.250
I am no longer
the Cheng Shaoshang from the past.

00:36:10.610 --> 00:36:12.210
I can ride a horse now

00:36:14.170 --> 00:36:15.420
even without a stirrup.

00:36:38.780 --> 00:36:40.690
Thank you for taking care
of my fiancee, General Huo.

00:36:41.650 --> 00:36:42.460
However,

00:36:43.130 --> 00:36:44.300
it should end here.

00:36:46.050 --> 00:36:47.020
Huo Buyi.

00:36:48.130 --> 00:36:50.300
I know what you are thinking
even if you don't say anything.

00:36:50.650 --> 00:36:52.210
From the day you returned,

00:36:52.690 --> 00:36:54.170
I knew you wouldn't let go.

00:36:55.210 --> 00:36:56.570
I know I'm not as good as you

00:36:56.860 --> 00:36:57.940
in her heart.

00:36:58.980 --> 00:37:00.610
But I understand Shaoshang's temper.

00:37:01.340 --> 00:37:02.780
Even if she still misses you,

00:37:03.250 --> 00:37:04.820
she still might not choose you.

00:37:52.980 --> 00:37:54.730
Since Fifth Princess got married

00:37:54.980 --> 00:37:56.500
and King of Eastern Sea
went to his fief,

00:37:57.170 --> 00:37:58.250
Changqiu Palace

00:37:58.460 --> 00:38:00.780
has never been so lively.

00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:01.820
That's right.

00:38:02.940 --> 00:38:03.900
Jitong,

00:38:04.090 --> 00:38:05.340
since you have returned,

00:38:05.340 --> 00:38:06.610
you should stay a few more days

00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:08.530
and have a chat with Her Majesty.

00:38:09.570 --> 00:38:11.380
You can try the rice wine I made.

00:38:11.570 --> 00:38:13.380
These dishes on the table

00:38:13.380 --> 00:38:14.690
can also be paired with wine.

00:38:14.940 --> 00:38:16.210
Her Majesty likes them a lot.

00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:19.730
Look how busy you are, Lady Cheng.

00:38:20.050 --> 00:38:21.570
There's no need to treat me.

00:38:22.090 --> 00:38:23.980
I am also someone from Changqiu Palace.

00:38:26.130 --> 00:38:27.730
Lady Cheng has been

00:38:28.090 --> 00:38:29.730
keeping Changqiu Palace well-managed

00:38:29.730 --> 00:38:31.300
in the last few years.

00:38:31.860 --> 00:38:34.170
The dishes are delicious
and the wine is nice.

00:38:34.570 --> 00:38:36.210
I can see that you learned a lot

00:38:36.690 --> 00:38:38.610
in Changqiu Palace
in the five years since I left.

00:38:38.900 --> 00:38:40.340
I'm afraid you have forgotten

00:38:40.340 --> 00:38:41.650
because you left this place
for a long time.

00:38:42.130 --> 00:38:43.050
Five years ago,

00:38:43.130 --> 00:38:44.860
before you were married
to the Northwest,

00:38:45.020 --> 00:38:47.210
I was also the one who
arranged Her Majesty's birthday banquet.

00:38:47.210 --> 00:38:48.570
I didn't start to learn

00:38:48.570 --> 00:38:49.690
after you left, Jitong.

00:38:51.460 --> 00:38:52.460
Yes.

00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:54.420
Your life is better.

00:38:54.900 --> 00:38:57.090
Unlike me, an unlucky person.

00:38:58.460 --> 00:39:00.050
When my late husband was seriously ill,

00:39:00.170 --> 00:39:01.980
I had been taking care of him
day and night

00:39:02.210 --> 00:39:03.610
yet someone still gossips about me

00:39:03.610 --> 00:39:05.020
wanting to remarry someone else.

00:39:05.530 --> 00:39:06.820
Because of that,

00:39:06.970 --> 00:39:08.930
I had to take care of my in-laws

00:39:09.300 --> 00:39:12.130
at the Jia Family for a few years
after my husband passed away.

00:39:13.570 --> 00:39:15.900
I had a hard time enduring that.

00:39:16.090 --> 00:39:17.730
The son of the Jia Family died early.

00:39:18.250 --> 00:39:20.860
Your family was under the
Jia Family's protection for many years.

00:39:21.210 --> 00:39:23.780
It's your duty
to take care of your in-laws.

00:39:24.020 --> 00:39:25.980
How can you complain?

00:39:30.050 --> 00:39:31.170
Jitong.

00:39:32.090 --> 00:39:33.730
We need to look at the future.

00:39:34.980 --> 00:39:36.460
Many good things will definitely

00:39:36.820 --> 00:39:38.210
happen for you in the future.

00:39:41.090 --> 00:39:42.250
You are right.

00:39:43.420 --> 00:39:45.340
We need to look ahead.

00:39:45.900 --> 00:39:46.940
Zisheng

00:39:47.650 --> 00:39:49.420
used to say the same thing to me.

00:40:03.340 --> 00:40:04.900
Although he is strict,

00:40:05.380 --> 00:40:07.020
he was tolerant of me.

00:40:07.530 --> 00:40:10.050
He only allowed me to enter his tent

00:40:10.170 --> 00:40:11.980
to serve him food and wine.

00:40:12.170 --> 00:40:13.210
I'm sure you know.

00:40:13.300 --> 00:40:15.250
He doesn't eat or drink when he is busy.

00:40:15.500 --> 00:40:16.820
I felt bad seeing that.

00:40:18.460 --> 00:40:19.340
After that,

00:40:19.650 --> 00:40:21.530
he stopped me from entering his tent.

00:40:22.530 --> 00:40:24.690
Perhaps he didn't want me
to overwork myself

00:40:25.250 --> 00:40:26.780
and see me suffer.

00:40:31.820 --> 00:40:34.020
Since you are close to Zisheng,

00:40:34.170 --> 00:40:35.210
I'm sure

00:40:35.650 --> 00:40:37.210
you already have an engagement with him.

00:40:39.130 --> 00:40:40.730
He has yet to mention it to me

00:40:41.730 --> 00:40:43.380
but I think it will be soon.

00:40:44.380 --> 00:40:46.170
When he received His Majesty's edict

00:40:46.380 --> 00:40:47.820
regarding Your Majesty's illness,

00:40:48.090 --> 00:40:49.690
he rushed back
to the capital immediately.

00:40:50.530 --> 00:40:53.250
He came back in a rush
and didn't even bring me along.

00:40:53.690 --> 00:40:54.730
I was wondering

00:40:55.340 --> 00:40:56.380
if perhaps

00:40:57.530 --> 00:41:00.020
he wanted to propose to me
in the capital.

00:41:01.380 --> 00:41:03.340
Seems like it's a bad time
for Her Majesty to be ill

00:41:04.530 --> 00:41:05.820
and it interfered with your plans.

00:41:06.130 --> 00:41:08.090
No. That's not what I meant.

00:41:08.090 --> 00:41:10.380
Of course, I know.

00:41:11.250 --> 00:41:13.090
When Her Majesty was still the empress,

00:41:13.690 --> 00:41:15.650
she protected the Luo Family
more than once.

00:41:16.340 --> 00:41:17.570
With Her Majesty's grace,

00:41:18.460 --> 00:41:20.090
it's impossible for you

00:41:20.170 --> 00:41:21.650
to blame Her Majesty.

00:41:22.940 --> 00:41:24.380
If that's really the case,

00:41:25.500 --> 00:41:27.050
you are worse than a beast.

00:41:28.530 --> 00:41:30.170
I know Lady Cheng

00:41:30.460 --> 00:41:32.570
doesn't like me and Zisheng together.

00:41:34.210 --> 00:41:36.420
But we love each other

00:41:37.530 --> 00:41:38.940
and can't hold back ourselves.

00:41:45.730 --> 00:41:46.650
Besides,

00:41:47.130 --> 00:41:48.610
both of you
have cancelled the engagement.

00:41:49.530 --> 00:41:52.500
There's nothing wrong
even if he marries me now.

00:41:53.050 --> 00:41:54.780
After all,
how can a man take care of himself

00:41:55.020 --> 00:41:56.820
without a wife by his side

00:41:56.820 --> 00:41:58.210
when he is out on the battlefield?

00:41:59.420 --> 00:42:00.570
I'm sure you don't want him

00:42:01.170 --> 00:42:03.570
to live the rest of his life poorly.

00:42:05.260 --> 00:42:07.460
I am really in a dilemma.

00:42:07.860 --> 00:42:10.380
I have you on one hand
and him on the other.

00:42:12.980 --> 00:42:14.050
Lady Luo.

00:42:14.530 --> 00:42:16.730
It's hard to leave the palace
when the gates are locked.

00:42:17.420 --> 00:42:19.020
You just returned to the capital.

00:42:19.020 --> 00:42:20.900
You should first return to your home.

00:42:21.090 --> 00:42:22.820
You shouldn't stay too long

00:42:23.050 --> 00:42:24.460
in Changqiu Palace.

00:42:26.820 --> 00:42:27.650
Your Majesty.

00:42:27.820 --> 00:42:30.860
I used to
stay in Changqiu Palace as well.

00:42:31.170 --> 00:42:32.730
Can't I stay for a while longer

00:42:32.860 --> 00:42:34.900
since I haven't returned for so long?

00:42:47.610 --> 00:42:48.530
Lady Luo.

00:42:48.690 --> 00:42:50.250
You should go home.

00:42:50.380 --> 00:42:53.340
Someone sent a letter from your house

00:42:53.500 --> 00:42:54.650
saying General Huo

00:42:54.650 --> 00:42:56.900
has sent two carts of dowries
to the Luo Family

00:42:56.900 --> 00:42:58.780
and also a huge bronze mirror.

00:42:59.250 --> 00:43:01.340
He also ordered
the elders of the Luo Family

00:43:01.460 --> 00:43:04.460
to find a good husband for Lady Luo.

00:43:04.570 --> 00:43:05.860
How can you

00:43:06.050 --> 00:43:08.250
not be home for this, Lady Luo?

00:43:17.650 --> 00:43:18.860
A bronze mirror?

00:43:20.820 --> 00:43:22.050
A mirror.

00:43:25.300 --> 00:43:26.420
Seems like General Huo

00:43:26.820 --> 00:43:27.980
and Jitong

00:43:28.530 --> 00:43:30.380
are really close together.

00:43:30.650 --> 00:43:33.090
He sent you dowries and a bronze mirror.

00:43:34.170 --> 00:43:35.340
No one in the capital

00:43:35.340 --> 00:43:37.340
will say that both of you

00:43:37.650 --> 00:43:38.650
are not close.

00:43:45.530 --> 00:43:46.420
Young Master.

00:43:47.020 --> 00:43:48.650
I heard Lady Luo

00:43:48.730 --> 00:43:49.860
was chased out of her house

00:43:49.860 --> 00:43:51.300
by her parents and siblings.

00:43:52.100 --> 00:43:54.700
Their family has been working
under the Xuan Family for many years.

00:43:54.980 --> 00:43:56.980
They wanted to prosper
with the help of the Crown Prince

00:43:57.090 --> 00:43:58.980
but he was stripped of his title

00:43:59.130 --> 00:44:00.940
and Empress Xuan
requested for herself to be locked up.

00:44:01.860 --> 00:44:03.980
So, they wanted their daughter

00:44:04.140 --> 00:44:06.140
to climb the ranks
by marrying Young Master.

00:44:06.980 --> 00:44:07.730
This time,

00:44:07.980 --> 00:44:09.730
Young Master sent her dowries

00:44:09.730 --> 00:44:11.130
and ordered her family
to find her a husband.

00:44:11.860 --> 00:44:14.500
I'm afraid Lady Luo

00:44:14.980 --> 00:44:16.730
is cornered this time.

00:44:21.460 --> 00:44:23.090
Young Master, this...

00:44:47.570 --> 00:44:48.460
General Huo.

00:44:49.420 --> 00:44:50.650
Father told me

00:44:51.340 --> 00:44:52.780
you've sent me a bronze mirror

00:44:52.780 --> 00:44:54.300
and a few carts of dowries

00:44:54.420 --> 00:44:57.050
saying you'll find me a husband
from the Northwest.

00:44:57.650 --> 00:44:58.650
I was scared.

00:44:59.090 --> 00:45:00.860
I didn't know what I did wrong.

00:45:01.300 --> 00:45:03.130
General, please retract your order.

00:45:03.130 --> 00:45:04.900
I thought you are smart.

00:45:06.250 --> 00:45:07.420
A smart person

00:45:08.460 --> 00:45:10.420
should know when to stop.

00:45:12.980 --> 00:45:13.900
I used to

00:45:15.170 --> 00:45:16.900
accompany you in the Northwest.

00:45:17.820 --> 00:45:18.610
General,

00:45:19.210 --> 00:45:20.610
have you forgotten?

00:45:20.610 --> 00:45:21.460
Accompany me?

00:45:24.650 --> 00:45:26.500
I used to be accompanied
by another woman.

00:45:28.050 --> 00:45:29.090
We ate together

00:45:30.500 --> 00:45:31.940
and laughed together.

00:45:32.530 --> 00:45:33.860
We were close.

00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:36.090
That was called accompaniment.

00:45:37.570 --> 00:45:38.860
Back in the Northwest,

00:45:39.210 --> 00:45:40.690
I chased you out of the camp.

00:45:41.690 --> 00:45:42.940
You stayed outside the camp

00:45:43.500 --> 00:45:45.730
and sneaked into the camp
to help me wash my clothes.

00:45:46.570 --> 00:45:48.380
We didn't even see each other.

00:45:48.980 --> 00:45:50.420
When I returned to the capital,

00:45:51.020 --> 00:45:52.130
you followed the army

00:45:52.210 --> 00:45:53.380
and rushed back here.

00:45:53.650 --> 00:45:55.380
I didn't speak a word with you.

00:45:56.500 --> 00:45:57.380
Let me ask you.

00:45:58.860 --> 00:46:00.090
How is that accompanying me?

00:46:00.980 --> 00:46:01.860
Yes.

00:46:02.860 --> 00:46:04.500
General Huo has no feelings for me.

00:46:05.500 --> 00:46:06.860
But I believe you will

00:46:06.860 --> 00:46:08.210
one day be touched by my efforts.

00:46:08.980 --> 00:46:09.860
Look.

00:46:10.020 --> 00:46:12.130
You didn't even let me enter your tent
three years ago.

00:46:12.300 --> 00:46:13.210
Right now,

00:46:13.530 --> 00:46:15.500
you are treating me better
when you see me.

00:46:15.980 --> 00:46:17.570
Why won't you admit it?

00:46:17.570 --> 00:46:18.420
Enough.

00:46:19.500 --> 00:46:21.020
Stop lying to yourself.

00:46:22.980 --> 00:46:24.420
Everyone in the capital

00:46:25.380 --> 00:46:27.900
already knows
I'm going to marry General Huo soon.

00:46:28.300 --> 00:46:30.780
If they know you won't marry me,

00:46:31.300 --> 00:46:32.730
how do I live with dignity?

00:46:35.170 --> 00:46:37.050
Since I've admired you since young,

00:46:37.420 --> 00:46:38.690
please take me in as your concubine.

00:46:40.820 --> 00:46:42.130
I don't mind being your concubine.

00:46:52.780 --> 00:46:54.690
I advise you to give up.

00:46:56.090 --> 00:46:57.340
If you return now,

00:46:57.980 --> 00:46:59.650
I can add another two carts of dowries.

00:47:00.380 --> 00:47:01.820
If you are still going to annoy me,

00:47:03.250 --> 00:47:04.250
I'll order someone

00:47:04.730 --> 00:47:06.380
to send you back
to the Northwest immediately.

00:47:10.250 --> 00:47:11.210
General Huo!

00:47:14.250 --> 00:47:15.940
Why are you forcing me?

00:47:16.530 --> 00:47:17.460
I like you.

00:47:17.460 --> 00:47:18.900
What did I do wrong?

00:47:20.570 --> 00:47:21.820
What did

00:47:23.210 --> 00:47:24.530
Jia Qilang do wrong then?

00:47:27.090 --> 00:47:28.530
You killed him, right?

00:47:29.530 --> 00:47:30.300
You...

00:47:31.050 --> 00:47:31.860
You...

00:47:33.860 --> 00:47:35.130
I didn't do anything!

00:47:35.380 --> 00:47:36.610
You shouldn't accuse me.

00:47:36.610 --> 00:47:38.020
Everyone in the Northwest said

00:47:38.900 --> 00:47:40.250
Jia Qilang married

00:47:40.250 --> 00:47:41.570
the most virtuous lady,

00:47:42.090 --> 00:47:43.610
but I know the truth.

00:47:44.380 --> 00:47:45.570
Jia Qilang

00:47:46.300 --> 00:47:48.050
might be born with an illness

00:47:49.210 --> 00:47:49.940
but it wouldn't kill him

00:47:49.940 --> 00:47:51.530
at the age of 20.

00:47:53.460 --> 00:47:55.210
You killed him.

00:47:56.780 --> 00:47:58.610
As for the method,

00:48:00.690 --> 00:48:02.130
do I have to say more?

00:48:15.460 --> 00:48:17.020
Is it because of Cheng Shaoshang?

00:48:18.420 --> 00:48:19.730
Did you reject me

00:48:19.730 --> 00:48:20.980
because you can't forget about her?

00:48:21.530 --> 00:48:22.730
That's none of your business.

00:48:28.820 --> 00:48:30.610
How can you treat me like this?

00:48:33.130 --> 00:48:34.250
For all these years,

00:48:35.730 --> 00:48:36.940
do you not

00:48:37.860 --> 00:48:39.500
feel anything towards me?

00:48:39.900 --> 00:48:40.730
No.

00:48:42.900 --> 00:48:44.610
Not even if Cheng Shaoshang
is out of the picture.

00:49:49.180 --> 00:49:56.220
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:49:58.020 --> 00:50:05.220
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:50:06.780 --> 00:50:14.100
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:50:15.540 --> 00:50:22.700
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:50:23.660 --> 00:50:27.420
The light between your brows

00:50:28.020 --> 00:50:31.900
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:50:32.680 --> 00:50:40.020
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:50:42.020 --> 00:50:50.300
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:50:50.580 --> 00:50:59.020
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:50:59.620 --> 00:51:07.740
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:51:08.300 --> 00:51:11.980
Both of us will be

00:51:12.340 --> 00:51:23.200
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:51:25.540 --> 00:51:31.840
Our sincerity
