Singing All Along

Episode 37

Older Sister, how are you?

Are you alright?

Younger sister, come with me, return to Yin home with me.

No, I'm going to take my two children to live secluded in Shenggong's home town.

I want to raise them personally.

I'll be worried if you are on your own.

I'll send some Yin family undercover warriors to protect you.

Sister, my heart will accept your kind offering.

However, this whole lifetime, I've been relying on other people.

Previously, I've depended on my father, my husband.

Now, I can only depend on myself.

I need to raise these two children properly through my own efforts.

We part today not knowing when we will see each other again.

Sister, look after yourself.

I will, like sister, look forward to the day we reunite.

Aunt Yin. Aunt Yin, I'll miss you.

Li'er, be good, you need to listen to your mother.

When you grow up, you need to protect your mother and brother. Do you understand?

Don't cry anymore.

Sister, let's go home.

Yes, let's return home.

Li Hua.

Daughter greets mother.

I've been unfilial and caused mother to worry.

My child. It's good that you have returned.

Good that you have returned.

Good that you have returned safely.

Li Hua, having not seen you for a few years, you have become more frail.

You are also much skinnier.

Sister-in-law, you can only see my appearance,

my heart, for quite some time, has had thousands of boils and hundreds of holes.

Li Hua, since you have returned, then don't leave again.

You were not aware, when you were away, mother often missed you and regularly washed her face with her own tears.

Sister-in-law, now, other than Yin home, I have nowhere to go.

If you wish to go back, I can send you to see him.

Why, do you depise me now too, big brother?

You heart is unable to let go.

Otherwise, why would you stay in Chang'an to deal with Liu Xuan,

Helping him secretly and even sending him the Chifu talisman.

True, I can't forget him.

Following older brother Bosheng in the uprising for three years, I've experience too many killings.

My heart has long had thousands of boils and hundreds of holes.

No longer do I have the strength to fight.

Since he already has Guo Shantong by his side,

from this moment onwards, I'm a daughter of Yin.

Older brother won't despise me, right?

Li Hua, what are you saying?

We're delighted that you have come back.

Why would we despise you?

You being home actually allows us all to lessen our worries.

You decide.

Good sister.

Sister!

Feng'er, you're here.

Yes, I heard you had returned, so I've come to see you.

Sit.

How is it going? Have you heard any news recently?

In Luoyang, Zhu Wei is defending it to the end. Feng Yi, after a long period of time, still has not been successful in his siege.

The two armies are currently in a stalemate.

Zhu Wei is definitely a talented person and not easy to deal with.

Sister, I think, since you are already home, then rest well.

Don't worry about his matters anymore.

Even if I don't think about Liu Xiu, there is Gong Sun and Ding jiejie.

I really miss them.

It's quite late, you should rest early.

I'm not tired, I want to stay and keep you company.

This happy couple truly makes others around feel envy.

Greetings your majesty. -Greetings your majesty.

No need for such ceremony.

Your majesty comes so late during the night, is it for quickly taking over Luoyang so that we are able to settle in Luoyang?

Gong Sun, you are definitely a person who understands me.

I've brought Cen Peng with me with the aim to persuade Zhu Wei to surrender.

Now that Gengshi has died and Li Yi is dead

Zhu Wei is the real culprit for the death of Liu Yan.

Your Majesty, are you really able to let it go?

For the sake of the world, able to or not able to,

I need to let it go.

I frequently remember the time when we started our revolt at Chuenlin, the victory at Nanyang.

We used to fight the same enemy and worked to restore the Han dynasty together.

Presently, Gengshi has fallen.

You used to have great ambition so why must you choose to be locked up in a dangerous place?

You don't need to worry about our past grievances. If you are willing to surrender the city,

The life of the citizens of Luoyang will be protected. No punishment will be given.

The Heaven and Earth can be my witnesses that what I say here is true. I will definitely not go back on my words.

Genghi is dead. You are currently a master-less subject.

Defending Luoyang to the death has no meaning.

A fine bird chooses its tree to nest in and live.

Emperor Jianwu is the wise ruler that will help the country.

I've long known that Liu Xiu was a prodigy.

But I once planned to assassinate Liu Yan.

The revenge for a fallen brother-

Weigong, His Majesty is a virtuous and forgiving person.

He did not take revenge on me when I murdered one of his relatives in Chang'an.

Presently, in order to protect the lives of the citizens and soldiers of Luoyang,

he will not kill you either.

His Majesty knew you would be hesitant and told me to pass along this message:

"Those who do great things will not be petty and keep grudges."

If you are willing to surrender, you can maintain your noble title.

"The heavens are my witness. I will not go back on my word."

Now that the end is clear,

Zhu Wei willingly follows Emperor Jianwu.

25 A.D. The 10th month of Jianwu.

Liu Xiu obtains Luoyang.

He rides towards the Southern Palace, and makes his capital in Luoyang.

Lihua.

I didn't think that Liu Xiu would make Luoyang his capital this quickly.

His Majesty has outstanding intelligence, vision, and might, an outstanding military strategist.

Forget about Luoyang, he'd be able to take over the entire land if he wanted to.

Madam will soon become Empress.

His Majesty had Lady Yin first, it's doubtful that I will be able to be Empress.

You have Liu Qiang now, and you're pregnant still.

Add in your Uncle Liu Yang

and the families of Hebei are also supporting you. Why would you worry so for just a Concubine Yin?

What an extravagant parade.

Which noble's carriage is this? - Which noble?

That is His Majesty's wife entering the city.

That Yin family's Yin LiHua.

What Yin Lihua? It's the daughter of a Hebei noble,

Lady Guo, Guo Shantong.

Yin Lihua...who knew

that you would fall to this state as well?

Why is it here and not Changqiu Palace?

His Majesty ordered Lady Guo and the prince to reside in this palace.

Where is His Majesty?

His Majesty is at Quefei Hall discussing state matters with his generals.

He ordered me to let Lady Guo rest here in Jiade Hall.

I must go and report back to His Majesty.

He's making you two suffer by living here,

and not the Changqiu Palace that the Empress should live in.

Who is His Majesty leaving Changqiu Palace empty for?

The Han army now has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, a great many brave warriors.

They have already conquered Hedong, Hebei, and Hexi.

While Deng Yu is deployed in Hexi.

The military rations of Chang'an's Chimei army is dwindling. They already don't have anywhere to get more supplies.

The Xizheng (Western) army is currently pushing southwards and is nearing Chang'an.

The recapture of Chang'an is imminent.

That year when I was in Luoyang, it was the darkest moments of my life.

Thankfully, I had Lihua and Gongsun with me.

Now that I have come back after much difficulty, I plan on bringing Lihua back.

Your Majesty, if you are to pick up Lihua, how will you persuade her?

Lady Guo has the support of Hebei and Prince Zhending.

How will they look at Lihua?

In addition, we were just able to stabilize Luoyang. Everything we do should take into account the stability of the court.

If we are to pick up Lihua, we must think of multiple strategies so no one will be able to protest.

I am not worried that the court will be upset.

I'm more worried that Lihua will not want to return here.

During the time that we started our revolt at Chuenling, we all accompanied each other through the whole journey.

The sacrifices that Lihua made were all for this moment, isn't it?

She will definitely come back.

I give up, I'll go in your place.

Come, let's drink.

Then I thank you, brother-in-law.

Your Majesty, now that we have control of Luoyang and everything has been settled,

we should bring Yin jiejie back.

I've always admired sister.

If sister comes back, I will definitely treat her with respect.

You are virtuous. You have the same thoughts as I.

I have already sent someone to Nanyang to pick up Liu Huang, Bo Ji, and Lihua to come here.

I tested His Majesty if he wanted to bring Concubine Yin back.

Who knew that he already sent someone to pick her up.

Although I know I must be generous, I really can't share a husband with her.

I don't know how I should interact with her.

That must be said.

If you didn't say it, His Majesty still would have went and gone to pick her up.

You might as well take the initiative and look better for asking first.

I'm just afraid that when Concubine Yin comes back, His Majesty will ignore sister.

He won't. With your uncles, Shantong will definitely become Empress

and take control of the inner palace.

Come. Come. Come. Welcoming everyone for guesting here.

His Majesty is currently stabilizing the situation at Luoyang so he can't find some free time to come here.

But he's constantly thinking of Lihua.

That day when he moved into Quefei Hall,

the first matter he kept thinking of was a way to reunite with Lihua.

That's right. Third brother has been waiting for this day.

He wants to share it with Lihua.

You two have been separated for a long time.

This is good news, your family can be reunited once again.

After experiencing close calls with death, it's not easy to survive.

Third sister-in-law, why don't you just come back with us and reunite with Third brother?

My leg wound has been hurting again. It won't be comfortable for me if I go to Luoyang.

Plus, I was finally able to reunite with family after so long,

I want to be with Mother a little longer.

Since that time at the Imperial Academy until now that our dreams have started to become a reality,

Lihua always accompanied His Majesty, never losing to any one of us men.

A leg wound is a small obstacle.

We can lift you there or take you on our backs.

How about that Lihua?

Lihua, we all know your personality.

But His Majesty is now the Emperor.
