= Love Like The Galaxy=
=Episode 53=
Miss Shaoshang.
That day I spoke rudely
and bluffed about General Huo's love for me.
Please forgive me.
Ever since my husband passed away,
Luo's family has been forcing me
to get married soon
and to play up to people of power again.
Or else,
they're going to make me marry in the Northwest.
A woman of no good like me
could find a good match for the first marriage.
But for the second marriage,
there're not many choices left.
Therefore,
I was getting anxious.
Therefore,
you didn't want to let go of Huo Buyi.
I have admired General Huo since I was young.
I always long
to be with him.
Sadly, he doesn't think the same.
The worst thing I did
was to overestimate myself
and underestimate General Huo's love
for you.
I deserve to be insulted
in public.
General Huo
gave my father the mirror
in front of so many people,
saying it's for my wedding gift.
I can't imagine
how embarrassed my father was.
Don't stare at me.
I don't want to deal with him.
I won't plead for his mercy for you.
I also won't persuade him to marry you.
This is your own business.
No.
The one-sided infatuation
that lasted for five years.
That was enough.
How many five years
does a woman have?
I came today
to tell you
that I've decided
to spend the rest of my life in the Northwest.
Farewell
forever.
I've found a carriage.
I'll depart tonight.
I wish you and General Huo
will stay together forever.
Or else I'll be upset in the Northwest.
I've let go of
my obsession with Huo Buyi.
But I have to do one thing
for Empress Xuan.
Since Empress Xuan fell sick,
she has been missing you.
Now
you're finally back, General Huo.
How's Empress Xuan's condition?
Physician Sun said
that she has been too depressed
and it's hard to be cured.
Her condition worsened this morning.
Her Majesty couldn't even get up.
I get it.
Her Majesty.
Is that Zisheng?
It's me.
You lost weight.
I think about the capital
and dare not slack off.
Are you thinking about the capital
or
Shaoshang?
There's something
I want to tell you.
Yuan Shanjian and Shaoshang
aren't engaged.
I know.
Shaoshang
still cares about you.
I know that too.
It's my fault.
I've decided
to use my whole life to atone.
When she was young
and needed to be loved most,
she wasn't loved by her family.
If you want to love her,
you've to make up
for her grief.
Don't always make her
understand your choice.
Only by discussing
can you keep walking side-by-side.
Yes.
From now on,
I'll be honest to Shaoshang
and tell her everything.
I'll not hide anything from her.
Sadly,
time is short.
I'm afraid
I won't be able to see you marry.
It's my fault.
I've made you worried.
I only hope that
in my next life
the two of you can be my biological children,
and I can live a few more years
to be with you
and smile at my death bed.
Such a life
would be perfect.
Lady Luo.
Haven't we arrived at
the miracle-working physician you mentioned?
When I was looking for medicine for Qilang,
I asked my friends and family
to inquire about many medical experts.
At last, I chose this one.
This physician is
the best in treating depression.
If you don't believe me,
you may go back to Changqiu Palace.
I'm afraid Empress Xuan
can't hold on any longer.
Stop the carriage first.
Please tell me
the exact location.
So I can go back to inform His Majesty
and come back to visit with precious gifts.
Miss Shaoshang.
Don't you trust me?
Look.
My entire asset is in this carriage.
I came to the capital with these
and I'm leaving the capital with these as well.
I've decided to go back to the Northwest.
Would I harm you
before I leave?
General Liangqiu sent a letter
to request General Huo's presence for an urgent matter.
Go ahead.
When you see Shaoshang,
talk nicely to her.
She'll understand.
Okay.
General Huo.
General Liangqiu said
that Lady Cheng was invited into Lady Luo's carriage
and they headed to the suburbs.
When did that happen?
An hour ago.
When you go back to the Northwest,
you can choose another husband.
If you can't find a good match,
don't force yourself to take anyone.
Who says a woman can't live a life
without a husband?
You don't understand.
Other than General Huo,
I'll not marry anyone else.
He's not the only man
in this world.
Why must you be stuck with him?
You don't understand.
I have admired General Huo since I was young.
But I was in a lowly state.
I didn't dare to confess my love.
And we're engaged to someone else respectively.
I thought there was no hope in this life.
But heavens had pity on me.
General Huo and I met again in the Northwest.
You can never imagine
how happy I was.
It's as if when a drowning person
finds a floating wood.
Therefore,
even when your husband was alive,
you were already thinking about General Huo.
Do you know how it feels
when you love someone deeply,
yet you have to serve another person with your body and mind?
When I was on the bed,
I couldn't stop thinking about him.
I had to use Jia Qilang
as Zisheng's replacement to endure it.
I don't know.
You don't have to tell me such silly things.
That's because you're heartless.
Do you know how his life was
when he was in the Northwest?
He was fighting the enemy
on the frontline with his life.
In wars, others fight for survival yet he fights for death.
You're so ruthless.
Why are you so cruel to him?
Fortunately,
Zisheng has me.
I love him,
respect him.
No matter what he does to me,
I'll never blame him.
I can accept his good
and his bad.
I'm different from you,
a woman who cancels her engagement at will.
I lived a chaste life
and loved only one person.
Lady Luo.
If it weren't for Empress Xuan,
I wouldn't come here with you.
Stop the carriage.
Cheng Shaoshang.
Because of you, Huo Buyi cut off all ties with me.
I have nowhere to go now.
Every woman in town is making fun of me.
How could I let you off the carriage?
Let me go.
Do you know?
The military physician said
Zisheng refused to
have the tooth mark on his arm treated.
He even used medicine to worsen the tooth mark
because of you.
I've been fooled by the two of you.
You're fooling yourself.
Let go.
He doesn't care about any other ladies.
Why are you so special?
I came to the palace before you.
I'm smarter and more virtuous than you.
Why
does Huo Buyi only have eyes for you?
You deserve to die.
Luo Jitong.
Even if you kill me,
you can't have him.
So what?
For him
I dare to do anything.
I even could kill my husband.
But he still doesn't love me.
As long as I've killed you,
he'll remember me forever,
even if it's out of hatred.
Stop the carriage.
Shaoshang.
Stop the carriage.
Zisheng.
If you dare stop the carriage,
I'll kill her right now.
Luo Jitong.
Let her go.
We can discuss this.
Discuss?
I begged you so hard yesterday,
yet you weren't moved at all.
Now you're afraid.
What if I let her go,
but you'll have to marry me. Is that a deal?
Let her go first.
I'll do anything.
Stop lying to me.
Do you think I don't know?
Other than Cheng Shaoshang,
you won't marry anyone else.
If that's the case,
why should I live?
I want to die with her.
Hold on, Shaoshang.
Let go.
You're capable to get up.
If you don't let go,
we'll both die here.
Let go.
I'll only let go
when I die.
Huo Buyi.
Even if you die for me,
I won't forgive you.
Let go now.
I won't live without you.
I know
that I did many wrong things.
Therefore,
you live,
I live,
you die,
I die.
Young Master, we're here.
Hang in there.
Shaoshang, catch the rope.
Your injury...
It's okay.
I'll just have the physician bandage it.
Lady Cheng.
Let me send you back to your palace.
No need.
I can go back myself.
Let Qi send you back then.
Take my carriage.
I shall leave first.
Report.
General Huo, Lady Cheng.
His Majesty calls you to return to the palace now.
Empress Xuan...
Empress Xuan is dying.
Shen'an.
Is there anything else
on your mind?
Tell me.
I...
I'll have them done for you.
I've lived my entire life
for people around me.
It would be pointless to still be talking
for others right now.
I've been by Your Majesty's side
for decades.
I know that in Your Majesty's heart,
Your Majesty is still an upright young man
who loves to read.
If it weren't for the chaotic world
and ruthless Emperor Li,
Your Majesty would rather stay in the quiet countryside forever,
marry Yueheng,
and have a few children.
Your Majesty would work as the sun rises, rest as the sun sets.
Living a simple life.
Shen'an.
It's me.
I've held up
your entire life.
Your Majesty
has never owed me anything.
I didn't dare to reject the marriage arranged by Uncle.
To be able to meet you
is
my biggest fortune.
Your Majesty
has sacrificed so much for world peace.
Heng is also the same.
Just because she's rude, straightforward
and casual,
Your Majesty thinks
that she doesn't take things to her heart
and doesn't feel sorrow.
I know
that she has wept
more than I did.
From now on,
Your Majesty and Heng
should stay well together.
Just like
how close you were when you were in the countryside.
As if I
had never been here.
Her Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Please allow me to speak
to Heng.
Okay.
Her Majesty,
as long as I'm around,
I'll make sure that Xuan Family will be well.
I'm not counting on you.
The Crown Prince is here.
He's steady and capable.
I'm not worried.
Right now,
I want to talk about us.
I didn't suspect that you were the one
who assassinated my son when he was nineteen.
I know.
That year
when my boy died at four months of age,
I didn't suspect you either.
I know.
You never suspected me,
that's why you ignored the rumors
and dared to accept these children.
Her Majesty.
In my heart,
we're just like
biological sisters.
If we were
siblings of a normal family,
that would be great.
Let the children in.
Come in.
Slow down.
Your Majesty.
My body
must be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum.
May I give
a bunch of my hair
to Shaoshang so she can burn it to ash
and bring it back to the mountain
where my father and I used to live in seclusion?
As you wish.
We will do as you wish.
Son.
You've always been indecisive.
So what if you have glory?
You have to be more broad-minded
to live a longer life.
Madam Zhai
shall count on your care now.
I will
take good care of Madam Zhai.
Hang in there, Mother.
I want to take care of you in your old age.
I can no longer live any older.
Mother.
I'm wrong.
I'm willing to use my life to exchange yours.
If you're really filial,
don't use your life to exchange mine,
but live well
and cherish your life.
Don't disparage yourself.
Zisheng.
Her Majesty.
I'm sorry.
I've never blamed you.
I know that all these while
you've been living in hardship.
You don't owe us anything.
I know
that you've been feeling guilty.
When I'm gone,
let the past
be gone with the wind.
You
should forgive yourself too.
Shaoshang.
Come here.
Shaoshang.
I've encumbered you
for five years.
What encumber?
I'm willing to follow Her Majesty
for five years
or even ten.
Silly girl.
One doesn't have so much time in life.
You've missed a lot because of me.
I hope that
in the future
you can live well for yourself.
I don't wish that
you'll waste your life as I did.
As a mother,
I hope you two
can pick up from where you left off.
But as a sensible elder,
I know that
a marriage can't be forced.
I can only advise you
to follow your heart.
Cherish the present. Don't regret it.
I hope that
the world will have peace in my next life,
so I can be free from suffering.
I hope that
my parents will live long and healthy in my next life,
so I can be free from sorrow.
I hope that in my next life
I can have the gift of youth
and sing in the mountains.
Dear,
I'm fortunate in this life
to be able to marry you.
I hope in my next life,
you and I
will
never
meet again.
General Huo.
Let's talk.
Okay.
What happened?
Emperor Xuan passed away.
Don't worry.
I'm just here to send Shaoshang back.
I'll leave soon.
I won't disturb you.
Huo Buyi, stand right there.
General Huo.
What kind of place do you think Marquis Quling's Residence is?
And who do you think Niaoniao is?
You come and go at will.
Just like that year,
you were about to marry her,
yet you abandoned her.
Five years ago,
you abandoned Niaoniao.
She was sick and dying.
Have a look at the backyard.
The half-done coffin
we made for her is still there.
I know I've done Shaoshang wrong.
I also know that
you care about Shaoshang.
Therefore,
I've decided never to disturb you again.
Do you know
how Niaoniao has lived for the past five years?
She was a person who loved crowds and fun.
Yet she locked herself up in Changqiu Palace for five years.
When I was horribly sick,
when his brother got married,
when her cousin got married,
we hoped to see her.
But she's not
left Changqiu Palace.
She lost five years.
Our family also lost our daughter for five years.
Do you know
who she did that for?
For you.
Huo Buyi.
It's my fault.
I've failed
Shaoshang's love for me.
I've failed Cheng Family's trust in me.
I've wronged Shaoshang.
I've also wronged Cheng Family.
What I owe you
can't be repaid even with my entire life.
Let alone Shaoshang's forgiveness,
even I
can't forgive myself.
When I was in the Northwest,
I fought day and night
in hope that my chest would be pierced by a sword
so I could die on the battlefield.
But I dared not to die.
I haven't been able to make her let go of her resentment.
How could I just die?
General Huo.
We're not asking you to plead guilty.
What we said just now
wasn't so that you feel guilty.
We're Niaoniao's parents,
yet we didn't give her enough love when she was young.
We also regret it now.
No matter what Niaoniao chooses,
who she wants to marry,
right now
we let her make her own choice.
The two of you
love each other.
However, fate has other plans.
Whether you two can be together again,
we shall
let the future decide.
