【ENG SUB】EP19: Lixia betrayed Yangmo to rescue Xiaoning? 《Love and the Emperor 手可摘星辰》【MangoTV Drama】
Love & The Emperor EP19 The Third Apocalypse How on earth… can I sound objective and neutral… without making him angry? Why don’t you have an appetite today? Your Majesty, I… I… Xiao Ning didn’t confess anything last night. He has been jailed awaiting trial in the imperial prison.
I will deal with the matter fairly. You don’t have to worry too much. Now you know all about it. Can you have a good meal now? Xiao Ning… Nothing, nothing. Let’s eat. It was the State Preceptor of the North Jing, unexpectedly. This…this is ridiculous. Exactly, he even made unfounded countercharges…
And made us in a pickle. Such a felony, does Your Majesty have any strong evidence? The assassin was caught by the imperial bodyguard… and confessed everything. What else can you quibble about? Did the State Preceptor confess everything? Since the State Preceptor didn’t confess, just based on the assassin’s empty statements…
How do you know somebody’s not trying to frame? Dare I ask, General Xie, did the State Preceptor of the North Jing refute? Xiao Ning… never said a word of refutation throughout. I’ve managed the Ministry of Penalty for over 20 years, and I’ve never seen a person being framed didn’t argue for himself.
If the State Preceptor got something else to say, why didn’t he refute? Exactly so. You arrested people without proof. What more proof do you need? He was caught on the spot. Do you still want to deny it? You’re slinging mud at me. You’re calling white black. Give your evidence. Darned.
Nonsense. You’re hatching a sinister plot. Greeting, Your Highness. Chamberlain Li, there is no need for ceremony. Chamberlain Li, sorry. I’m not feeling myself today, which kept you waiting. I dare not. Your Highness, you… Chamberlain Li, do you know the State Preceptor’s situation now? I know a little. Your Highness, don’t worry too much.
His Majesty will be wise and responsible enough… to deal with it fairly. If the State Preceptor was wronged, His Majesty will find out the truth… and let him be clear. Chamberlain Li, you weren’t there last night, and certainly don’t know about the interrogation. His Majesty really… hates the State Preceptor’s guts.
In this case, the State Preceptor’s probably going to die. Why? Chamberlain Li, you have a simple heart. Under this circumstances, there is something I have to say. I always thought His Majesty… was jealous of the State Preceptor. The State Preceptor is in crisis this time. Even if the evidence is insufficient,
I am afraid His Majesty, in order to abandon your idea, will leave no room. In this country, you are the only friend I have. Nowadays, you are the only one I can ask help for. Your Highness. I implore you, even if it turns out… the State Preceptor made a mistake,
For the sake of the our previous affection, Chamberlain Li, please to intercede for the State Preceptor to save his life. I’m willing to break off the engagement, go back to the North Jing with the State Preceptor. and never set foot here again. Your Majesty. Have you ever heard of a sentence?
“Using flattery with nothing happened.” I just cooked a few more dishes… with no extra money. Got any thoughts? You might as well say it. Nothing. I… If you don’t say, I won’t eat. Your Majesty, please think over the matter of the State Preceptor.
Could you give the matter of Xiao Ning a second thought? From what I know of him, he probably… oh no, he’s definitely not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding. You stand up first. Ying. Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty. Take a seat. Do you still remember this?
Is this the Stone of Truth? For I didn’t find you the game-saving button last time, I’m still angry about the Stone of Truth. Now think about it, our nation’s forefathers had foresight. Sure enough, this is what the Stone of Truth is for. Are you trying to test Xiao Ning with this?
I’ve told you before, as long as two people put their hands on the Stone of Truth at the same time, and then one asks and the other answers, even if the other doesn’t speak, the Stone of Truth can also judge the truth for itself. If it’s true, the Stone of Truth will shine.
If it’s false, the Stone of Truth stay same. So you can rest assured. If Xiao Ning hadn’t done it, I wouldn’t wrong him. You are so nice. You don’t have to feel indebted to me. I only do it to find out the truth. But speaking of that,
The Stone of Truth is also interesting and sacred. Would you like to try it? Then I ask first. Is it because of me… that Your Majesty is willing to give Xiao Ning a chance? It’s my turn. How dare I play this with him? What if he asks you about your origin?
You can ask me anything you want. I’m not gonna lie to you. Why do we need this stone? That’s right. Is there anything else… I don’t know about you? Let’s have dinner. Go. What’s this? Is this the Stone of Truth in the rumor? Your Majesty is so kind. With the Stone of Truth,
We shall see how he dare quibble. It’s a very clever move. Yes. Do you know what this is? Xiao Ning, what on earth are you thinking about? This is our national treasure: the Stone of Truth. It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak.
The Stone of Truth will naturally help you to tell the truth. I ask you. I was in danger three times. Did you plan it all? I ask you once more. Do you have any accomplices? This this this… He does have accomplices. Treacherous ministers and traitors. Sinner Xiao Ning, listen to the decree.
Xiao Ning, the State Preceptor of the North Jing, defied superiors, tried to rebel, and planned several assassination attempts… to kill me and the princess. Having tested by the Stone of Truth, it’s true, without doubts. Take the sinner, Xiao Ning, to the imperial prison, and he’ll be killed soon.
Your Majesty played such a big game of chess. Are Your Majesty probably waiting for the black chess piece of mine… to fall into the trap? I’m afraid that if this chess piece falls, there will be no room for manoeuvre. Come on. Cheers. Cheers. Drink it all. Let’s eat and drink. Chamberlain Li.
To see this waist-token is to see the General Fan in person. Greetings, General Fan. Get up. The General Fan is going to bring the criminal to trail. Please, eldest brothers. Yes, yes. This way, please. Come out. I just know that… you won’t leave me alone. Be quiet. Chamberlain Li. Taking the imperial felon,
Where are you going? I am finished. This is a real disaster. Chamberlain Li. What are you going to do to take away the imperial felon? It was my fault. I was in a hurry. I… Are you… an accomplice with this man? Accomplice? No, no. I… Chamberlain Li.
You met with the suspect several times in private. Is it true? What does this note say? which is the most peculiar poison in the world, called “a split second”. Why is this in my room? Such being the case, I don’t have anything to say. I lost. Chamberlain Li, please. Close the door.
Xiao Ning. Why on earth did you set me up? I wouldn’t have saved you if I’d known. You’re a ungrateful person. Li Xia, why don’t you understand by now? I’m saving you. I chose to be a State Preceptor… whose skill is God’s perspective. I can see everything that happens in this game…
If I want to. I’ve told you before… Yang Mo’s been using you. You don’t trust me. Now it’s the time… to prove everything. Nonsense. It’s obviously your fault… and you planted it on Yang Mo. Did Yang Mo mention the apocalypse to you? The apocalypse?
Chamberlain Li broke into the imperial prison without permission today… and rescued the State Preceptor of the North Jing, which I don’t want anyone else to know. You go to the imperial kitchen tomorrow morning, and tell them the Chamberlain Li’s not feeling well… and I’ve sent her out of the palace to recuperate. Yes.
No one is allowed to talk about this any more. Obey your royal decree. Now go. Yes. Yang Mo said that… he became the emperor because of the apocalypse. Because the apocalypse says… he can unify the whole country. Do you know Yang Mo, after he succeeded to the throne, also held an apocalypse ceremony?
In the setting of the game, from ancient times each emperor of the South Ting… has come to receive the instructions from God, which is called the apocalypse. They’ll all trust the words in the apocalypse, act as the apocalypse says, and never disobey it. Do you know what’s the apocalypse Yang Mo received? What?
The three apocalypses Yang Mo received… are all about you. Li Xia. Have you ever thought about… why would Yang Mo, as an emperor, hide his identity… and date a palace maid like you? Because the first apocalypse is… “There is a woman named Li Xia who has fate with His Majesty for three lifetimes.”
My name is Li Xia. See you tonight. If you’re the emperor, why didn’t you say so? You didn’t ask me either. At that time, Yang Mo was still observing you, and didn’t totally trust the apocalypse. But what the second apocalypse says… forced him to keep you by his side,
And even save you several times. Because the second apocalypse is… “Li Xia has the power to protect His Majesty.” He kept you by his side… The second apocalypse has been verified. Under the circumstances, the third apocalypse… Give me more time. I’ll take care of this.
I hope you will not tell Ru Xiang about it. Please. I hope you will help me. You told us to block the passage of message… and issued a royal order to cover her tracks. Was it not to save her? Now we’ve got the criminal and the evidence of her crime.
Your Majesty, do you still want to show petty kindness? Li Xia. Do you know what “Mo” means? Does it mean to die? The third apocalypse says… “when Li Xia dies, the world will be united.” Only when you’re dead can the world be united. Because the words of the apocalypse…
Said he could unite the world, Yang Mo became the emperor. Therefore, in his mind, unifying the world is the only thing. He approached you, kept you by his side, and even saved you again and again. In fact, his only purpose… is that one day… he can kill you with his own hands…
And unify the world. You’re lying. He’s not that person. Actually Xie Qingshu had suspected you for a long time, but Yang Mo had been waiting for the apocalypse to come true. Now we are in this situation… that you were confirmed to be the spy of the West Liang… and colluded with me.
As long as you and I die… and the South Ting and the North Jing are connected by marriage successfully, Yang Mo can unify the world naturally. Impossible. He won’t. You’re making this up. You’re lying to me. I trust Yang Mo. I trust him. Is anyone there? Is the jailer there? Is anybody there?
Is anyone there? You trust Yang Mo. Does Yang Mo trust you? If he really trusts you, why didn’t he… tell you about the apocalypse earlier? Is anyone there? Or you might as well wait for him. You just wait and see… if he dares to meet you… and tells you the truth.
Chamberlain Li, what’s wrong? The jailer eldest brother, I want to see His Majesty. This… Sorry, I can’t do it. Please. I’m the chamberlain of the six bureaus. I have important things to tell His Majesty. His Majesty said, Chamberlain Li, you can do anything… just except seeing His Majesty. Please, eldest brother.
Could you pass it on for me? His Majesty’s sure to see me. Greetings, Your Highness. Minister Hu Lan. Do you know just now… someone was going to the prison to rescue the State Preceptor? I don’t know. Minister Hu Lan, don’t be nervous. The matter has been blocked spreading by the South Ting.
I come to ask you, in tomorrow’s levee, to make sure of this matter. Chamberlain Li, please have your meals. I want to see His Majesty. Forgive me, Chamberlain Li, I won’t eat anything until I see His Majesty. Your Majesty, the envoys from the North Jing asked for an interview. Call them in.
Call the envoys from the North Jing in. Greetings, Your Majesty. Envoys, as you were. Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, we’ve taken the liberty of coming here… to confirm one thing with Your Majesty. Minister HU Lan, please go ahead. We’ve known that… last night someone broke into the imperial prison…
And tried to rescue the State Preceptor of the North Jing, Xiao Ning. Our country, the North Jing, since Xiao Ning was detained, has been at the South Ting and Your Majesty’s disposal. It never occurred to us to take Xiao Ning away. Dare I ask Your Majesty…
To tell if the real criminal has been caught? If so, please give us an explanation… and prove that we are innocent, Your Majesty. Minister Hu Lan. Where did you hear the news? Broke into the imperial prison at night? I think it’s a thief crying “stop thief”.
Your country wants to take the felon away. And you want to make unfounded countercharges, and plant it on us. Your Majesty, please hand the person who broke into the prison over… and prove that we’re innocent. Your Majesty. Since the person who broke into the prison has been caught,
I want to interrogate this man… to see if he was sent from the North Jing. Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Last night the person who broke into the imperial prison… was the chamberlain of the six bureaus, Li Xia. This person, as the chamberlain of the six bureaus and the third-rank manager,
Was also unexpectedly involved in this matter. It seems that your country isn’t a pure land either. Please be sharp-minded with Xiao Ming’s matter, Your Majesty. Li Xia, don’t be silly. You torture yourself like this. Yang Mo won’t know. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t come. To put it bluntly,
Yang Mo is just a game character, and acts following the logic of the game. What does he have in mind? What feelings does he know? It’s you who are so sentimental. Go away. General Fan, please stay. His Majesty said that… no one is allowed to get in here.
Get out of the way, or don’t blame me relentless. How long are you going to keep this up? What did I do? I’m… What more do you want? If you hadn’t been messing around in court today, how would this have been known by everyone? Did you know that already?
Xie Qingshu, you’re keeping me from knowing. Was it you who sent someone to arrest Li Xia? His Majesty didn’t pursue it in court. Must His Majesty condemn you… to a crime of disobedience… then you can be honest? You’re not helping Li Xia. You’re doing her a disservice. Xie Qingshu.
Could you please beg His Majesty again… to let him trust Li Xia one more time? Even if she’s hiding something, she can’t be a rebel. Let’s go back and talk about it. We should give this matter further thought. Your Majesty. What’s the matter? Your Majesty. Chamberlain Li.
What’s wrong with Chamberlain Li, just say it. Chamberlain Li’s on hunger strike in the imperial prison… and has to see Your Majesty. I’m not going to see her. Call the envoys from the North Jing in. Greetings, Your Majesty. Envoys, as you were. Thanks a lot, Your Majesty. May I ask Your Majesty…
Since it’s been three days after the female official was arrested, why the delay in convicting her? Minister Hu Lan, you’re in such a hurry. What’s this for? It’s only been three days. Felons in major cases are held in prison for more than three months to obliterate their edge, which is the convention,
Obliterate the edge. Are you going to secretly let her go… or destroy the body ruthlessly? Are you still angry? Give the matter further thought? You’re just putting me off. You just don’t care if Li Xia lives. You and Yang Mo, you… That’s all? Is it my turn?
Li Xia has been on hunger strike in prison for the last few days… without drinking and eating. His Majesty’s very worried about her… and wants you to talk to her. If Yang Mo has any affection for her, he should go by himself. What am I going to do? I won’t go.
If he wants to go, let him go by himself. You should think from His Majesty’s angle. Li Xia rescued the imperial felon without permission, which is a crime of disobedience. His Majesty didn’t convict Li Xia for these days, which is already under enormous pressure. If His Majesty visited by himself,
The courtiers would assume that… His Majesty is for personal considerations. There will be no room for manoeuvre at that time. So Yang Mo’s going to delay… and not give Li Xia an answer? Do you still think… His Majesty misunderstands Li Xia? It’s been a truth that Li Xia broke into the prison.
His Majesty hasn’t convicted her crime yet, which is a kind of protection for Li Xia actually. His Majesty doesn’t convict for one more day. Li Xia can live for one more day. This reason. Don’t you understand by now? Don’t send. I won’t eat. Li Xia, it’s me. Ru Xiang. Why are you here?
What do you think you’ve become? Eat the meal. I won’t eat unless he comes. Li Xia. why are you so silly? You’ve been waiting for so long. He would have come if he could. I have to see him. There’s something… I’d like to make it clear. OK, I promise you.
I will take him to see you. I don’t believe Yang Mo would be so insensitive. Thank you, Ru Xiang. There’s something… I can’t explain to you right now. But I’ve always been true to you. At last, I wish you could promise me one thing. Don’t say one thing.
I’ll promise you a hundred things. If something happens to me, don’t blame him. He also has his difficulties. I beg you. This is my last wish. She refused to eat… and said she had to see you. If you had any conscience, you wouldn’t let her… abuse herself like this. Do you know?
She’s still protecting you up to this point. She said no matter what happened, We can’t choose to run away from heartache. Then do we have the right to choose the way we have a heartache? If it were you, would you choose the true betrayal… or the silent deception? Maybe we don’t care anymore…
Which way hurts more, and just want to know… when my heart is broken… if you feel a little… sad too.
