Singing All Along

Episode 38

Your Majesty, it's past 1a.m., the palace is having a exorcism ritual.

Shouldn't Your Majesty preside at the ritual?

That place is a scene of bustle and excitement,

do you want to go and take a look?

Li Hua, don't be afraid.

Concubine pays respect to sister.

Noble Lady Guo, there is no need for trivial ceremonies. Get up.

Thank you, Your Majesty. Sister has suffered along the way.

Coincidently the palace is having the exorcism ritual, to ward of evil.

We can also take it as a welcoming ceremony for sister.

Qiang'er? Why is Qiang'er here?

Qiang'er come, let Mother carry you.

Your servant Guo Kang pays respect to Your Majesty and Noble Lady Yin.

Get up.

Qiang'er, it's so late. Why aren't you asleep?

Qiang'er. Be good. - Commoner Xing'er pays respect to Your Majesty.

Pay respects to Noble Lady Guo, Noble Lady Yin and Minister Guo.

Xing'er, there is no need for trivial ceremonies. Get up quickly.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Yin Ji, you are here!

Ma Wu, Zhu You, cousin.

All of you are here.

Pay respects to Noble Lady Yin.

There is no need for trivial ceremonies.

Older brother. - Pay respects to Your Majesty.

Ministers, you can get up.

Thank you, your Majesty.

The night is cold. Noble Lady, why aren't you wearing more clothes?

Noble Lady Yin is too emotional.

Previously, older brother praised you for being brave and strategic. Who would know that today,

what have you used your great talent on?

Where is big brother?

He is outside the palace.

He has not entered the palace? - Guo Zhu has not appear.

Why must Noble Lady be in a hurry to meet big brother?

I advise Noble Lady to use your brains more often.

If you're always like this, you are making people worry.

Are you itching for a fight?

Has your martial arts skills improved over these few years?

You are becoming more and more disrespectful when you speak.

Noble Lady, Noble Lady. What an honourable form of address.

Relatives of the emperor on the side of his wife, ought to be like this.

Now that sister is embroiled in the fights in this palace,

you must act according to the rules in the palace.

Other things, I advise you to stop thinking about them.

I need to be so careful and prudent,

must I be like this for the rest of my life?

Coming back to this place, isn't this what sister wished for?

I will calm down and think about it.

And see what are the things that I ought to have.

And what are the things that I should give up.

This place is too chilly, your body is weak. Let's go.

Shan Tong, why are you unhappy?

Are you troubled?

Ever since that Yin Li Hua came into the palace,

His Majesty accompanies her everyday.

He is almost going to forget about the presence of me and Qiang'er.

Yin Li Hua. Yin Li Hua. Now everyone in the palace is talking about Yin Li Hua.

If this goes on, I'm afraid His Majesty... - Shan Tong, you don't have to worry.

Liu Xiu becomes the emperor. Hebei sent Generals to pay tributes to him.

Although they did not go to war for him,

but they are also Liu Xiu's forces.

If he wants to maintain his power in Luoyang,

and not offend Hebei generals, he must confer you as the Empress.

Mother, I am not concerned about the title of the Empress. I'm more concerned about His Majesty's heart.

Silly child. The thing that is most prone to changes is a human's heart.

A man's heart is even more prone to changes.

If you don't secure your position,

you can't keep his heart.

You need to let him be used to your presence.

So, you need to assist your husband and educate your children.

After a long time, even a man made of stone,

dripping water will penetrate the stone.

Besides, he has feelings for you.

If not, where did the cute little prince come from?

But mother,

I am still very concerned about that women Yin Li Hua.

Once I think about all the times His Majesty had with her,

I'm afraid that I can't control myself and be a virtuous wife.

Shan Tong, we are in the palace, not in Guo family.

No matter how much grievances you have, you can only swallow them.

Also, what you should be fighting for now, is not your own position.

There's also Qiang'er.

If you can't keep your Empress position,

Qiang'er can never become the crown prince.

At the end, do you think Yin Li Hua will let the both of you off?

Mother, I want the Empress position and

I also want His Majesty's heart.

Yin Li Hua, I'm sorry.

I will inform your uncles as soon as possible.

And change the situation in the court,

make Generals pressure His Majesty

to confer the Empress title as soon as possible.

Your Majesty, please think carefully about the matter of conferring the Empress title.

After Geng Shi was defeated and destroyed, in the East there's Liu Yong, Dong Xian, Zhang Bu setting up independent regimes.

In the West, there's Wei Xiao, Gong Sun Shu, Dou Rong proclaiming themselves as kings.

In the North and South, the old Geng Shi generals are defending them. Within the palace, it is also chaotic.

It is as though I am fighting with all the warlords in the world.

Let's talk about the matter of conferring the Empress title later.

Your Majesty, in Yuyang, Cheng Chong seems to have some suspicious movements.

Your Majesty, please send Generals there to pacify him, in case anything happens.

What's the situation in Chang An?

Your Majesty, Chang An has a shortage of food.

Chi Mei Army set a fire to burn all the farmland and houses.

They stole all the valuables.

Chang An is in ruins now. After stealing everything Chang An, they went towards the West.

Every city and town that they went past, they stole everything.

Minister Deng Yi has already led his troops and stationed in Chang An. They are stationed at Kunming Chi.

Send my decree. Deliver an imperial commendation to Deng Yu.

At the same time, ask Deng Yu to pacify San Fu.

Gong Sun, you and Gong Xun shall deploy rations and forage.

Wu Han, go up North immediately.

Tell Zhou Fu to watch Peng Chong closely.

Chi Mei is going everywhere. They went to An Ding and Bei Di, the two regions.

Minister Deng Yu has already led the army into Chang An, stationed at Kunming Chi.

The 24 year old minister, Ah Yu is indeed impressive.

Sister!

Sister, why are you here?

Gong Sun let me come and visit you.

His Majesty is in a difficult situation right now.

There's still domestic trouble and foreign invasion. Danger lurks on every side.

During this period of time, the more you shouldn't leave His Majesty.

Did His Majesty send you here to persuade me?

His Majesty did not force you, this shows that he still has you in his heart.

Many people are not aware that I accompanied His Majesty though life and death.

They only know that there is a virtuous Lady Guo.

And Liu Qiang is his only son.

If he makes me the Empress, the Generals who did meritorious service for His Majesty

will have distrust towards His Majesty.

This will be a fatal blow to him, who is fighting battles on every side.

I can't make His Majesty undertake such a huge risk because of me.

I want him to win the world. And not, because of me,

let the situation in Hebei which has already stabilised become fall apart again.

Li Hua, you have deep feelings for His Majesty.

Why do you have to leave him and make both of you suffer?

He is already the Emperor.

He has the ability to pacify everyone.

But for me, even if I love him, I have my own dignity and pride.

If you want me to share a husband with someone else,

I can't do that. Rather than sharing, I might as well let go.

.

Just nice, let me borrow your brush and paper, let me write something.

I'll read, you write.

I'm not learned, you always couldn't read my handwriting.

Don't you remember that?

In times of danger, only you were with me.

In good times, you are leaving me.

Li Hua, you really don't want me anymore?

Third brother,

let me go.

Li Hua, what do you want?

Tell me, what do you want?

Please don't treat me like this.

Third brother, you are the Son of Heaven.

It's time for you to reward the ministers and confer the dukes.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe that this is what you want.

Third brother, as the Majesty,

go and confer the dukes.

I'm tired, I'm really tired.

It turns out that I can't stay by your side

and face all the difficulties with you in future.

Because staying here,

staying by your side,

is a torture for me. It is tormenting my heart.

In times of danger, only you were with me.

In good times, you are leaving me.

When the good memories in the past no longer exist,

when sadness has become an inevitable outcome, and cannot be changed.

I choose to give up.

Noble Lady Yin still insists on leaving.

Not only that,

she still asked me to confer the dukes and reward the ministers.

Your Majesty,

in Li Hua's heart,

Your Majesty is not only her husband.

But also the master whom she is willing to follow. The person she wants to live and die with.

Yes, she is using her position as Yin Ji to remind me,

that I am no longer Yin Li Hua's Liu Xiu.

I am Emperor Jian Wu.

I need to get rid of personal feelings and focus on the matters of the court and the dynasty.

She is giving me, and the past,

giving the brothers who died on battlefields

an explanation and put an end to it.

From now on, she will lead her life, it will have nothing to do with me.

Your Majesty.

Li Hua is too values relationships too much.

That's why she chose to leave and didn't want to put you in a difficult position.

Besides, she is kind-hearted by nature.

She has always hated to fight for power and position.

If you put her through internal strife and disputes in the palace chambers,

it's indeed hard on her.

I know that too.

But we've been through so many disasters,

to meet again today.

How can I bear to let her go?

I can promise her anything,
