[Love Like the Galaxy}

[Love Like the Galaxy 2: Episode 11]

Empress, don't think too much about what was said today.

Don't hurt your body.

I don't know what's wrong with Crown Princess Consort today.

It's like she's a different person.

Don't blame her.

Crown Princess Consort has low self-esteem about her family background.

She can still be calm and even-tempered with you, but

if it involves Little Fifth who always belittles her,

how can she behave calmly and carefree?

Besides, during the palace banquet a day ago,

seeing that Qu Lingjun's poise far exceeded her own,

she is further feeling unsettled and suspicious-minded.

Who is Qu Lingjun?

Actually, Crown Prince had a sweetheart back then.

Qu Lingjun's family and character far exceed those of Crown Princess Consort.

Before Qu Lingjun married, she often came to the palace

to play with Crown Prince and his siblings.

The two of them adored each other.

We saw it, too.

But His Majesty had agreed on marriage back when he was in the countryside.

Once he was on the throne, he couldn't withdraw from the marriage and lose credibility with his old friend.

That's why Crown Prince fulfilled the accord and married Miss Sun.

It would have been better if Crown Prince had refuted the marriage accord back then.

Back then, someone also said the same words.

Who?

Zisheng. At that time, he was still young,

but he acted like an old person and came to tell me and His Majesty that

this marriage was never supposed to be,

and it could even harm the crown prince in the future.

His Majesty wouldn't listen to him, so he went to Crown Prince to make his recommendation.

Crown Prince was too kind and didn't say anything so he went to tell Crown Princess Consort.

But when it was time to marry, everything took place as agreed.

Crown Princess Consort married into here.

Crown Princess Consort was intent on marrying into the imperial family.

It's not a wrongdoing.

It's just that Qu Lingjun already married someone else.

Crown Princess Consort should be broadminded.

You might be broadminded, but she might not be.

When women fall in love, they can worry too much about gains and losses.

Unlike you, you've never given your true heart to Zisheng.

Empress, you are falsely charging me. When have I not given my true heart to him?

Let me ask you then.

Do you really like Zisheng?

I do.

I used to think of him as the bright moon that was hanging high above the sky,

the white snow that's on the peak of the distant mountain.

But I've discovered that

he is like me. We're both people with flesh and blood, and can feel happy and sad.

I like Zisheng.

Also, I like him even more now.

In the past, His Majesty worried that Zisheng would delay getting married.

But I worried...

whether someone would ever understand the kind of person Zisheng is.

He's lucky to have met you.

Zisheng has chosen the right person.

Empress! Empress!

Empress, bad news.

Eleventh Young Master has angered His Majesty.

His Majesty is punishing Eleventh Young Master by flogging him at Xuanming Hall.

Miss Cheng! Miss Cheng! You're finally here.

General Ling beat up the fathers and older brothers of those eight women who pushed you into the water.

Because of that incident?

Eight families?

All of them got beaten?

He left the palace this morning, and it's not even dinnertime yet.

In such a short time, all eight families were beaten up?

Some of them were sent an invitation to come get a beating.

Some others lived close by, so he went to their homes to beat them up.

This General Ling... His Majesty already took General Ling's recommendation and severely punished Fifth Princess.

None of Fifth Princess's advisers were spared.

But General Ling still didn't appreciate it. He had to personally go and teach them a lesson.

See? His Majesty is enraged. I'm afraid he won't evade the calamity this time.

His Majesty is clearly unreasonable.

They committed the wrong first, why punish his own child?

How can Miss Cheng say this?

General Ling bypassed His Majesty and conducted a*usive punishments. How is this right?

He didn't do wrong. However others treat me, that's how I'll treat them.

How is this wrong?

Oh? Did I do wrong then?

If she doesn't accept it, tell her to get in here and reason it out with me!

No... Why isn't the door sound-proof?

Why isn't she inside yet?

Go on.

The door isn't shut.

Tell me about it.

Tomorrow, the Censorate's Chief Censor will

submit an admonishment in the court.

What do we do? What do we do?

Your Majesty, please pardon his guilt. General Ling behaved recklessly but it's understandable.

You don't need to plead forgiveness for me.

I'll get revemge for my own grievance. I'll accept the punishment for my own guilt.

I don't need anyone to worry for me.

Is this your grievance? It's clearly my grievance.

They didn't push you into the water. They pushed me into the water. What grievance are you getting revenge for?

If you are that kind of Cheng Shaoshang,

then I am this kind of Ling Buyi.

You see my real face now.

From now on, you don't need to worry about my life and death.

What do you mean by this?

We are already engaged.

You've gotten into such a big disaster today, what is your intention?

I get it.

- You don't want to marry me...
- I want to return with you...

Return what?

I want to resign from my position and return to a civilian life with you.

Return to the country life that you miss dearly.

Shut up, you. Resign from what?

Return to the countryside? You want to quit?

I'm not dead yet!

Imperial Father is still in the prime of life.

Zisheng, beware of your words.

This subject should die.

You tell me. I told you to investigate if they have abused the law.

The Ministry of Justice has yet to convict them,

but you act first to beat them up. If everyone is like you, using violence to curb violence, why do we need laws?

You acted recklessly without restraint.

Ignoring the law of the land!

Arrogant and domineering!

In plain words, your brain is sick!

Your Majesty is wise. General Ling is usually cautious.

Why did he behave so crazy today?

Don't you feel it's strange, Your Majesty?

Besides, the Censorate is a vital part of the country

and an important place in the court. Doesn't everyone know not to offend it?

Who doesn't know? Do you know?

If you know, why not tell us where the Censorate is?

Can you not talk?

Your Majesty, even though I don't know where the Censorate is,

but...

with three chiefs and nine ministers, is there any place that's not important? It's something even I know.
[The court system that began with the Qin Dynasty]

Why did General Ling commit a deliberate offense? That's because there is a hidden reason for it.

That's right. Then you tell me.

Why did this happen?

Because I...

I had a huge quarrel with General Ling.

In order to vent his anger, so he...

I knew it!

Zisheng wouldn't commit such large wrongdoing for no cause or reason.

You, this young miss...

Couldn't you learn Empress's sweet-temper and agreeable nature?

Why must you...

quarrel with Zisheng all day?!

It's General Ling who wanted to quarrel with me. I didn't want to start it.

You didn't start it?

Then, how come you must cause Zisheng to quarrel with you all day?

You too. You quarreled with Miss Cheng so you crashed into the Censorate?

Then, what happens if you fight next time?

Won't you barge into my Chongde Palace?

Just say it.

How should we resolve this matter?

Your subject accepts any form of punishment.

Imperial Father, he offended the Censorate and beat a minister in front of the censors.

According to imperial law, he should be exiled and banished to an army post.

This punishment... will do. I am willing to be exiled with General Ling.

You shut up!

Banished to a post and exiled? That's letting you off too easily.

Cane him 100 times first, then exile him!

Cane him 100–

- Your Majesty!
- Kneel!

Your Majesty, a caning of 100 times will cost a life! You must not!

Your Majesty!

Your husband-to-be enters the b*ttlefield to face his enemies alone. He's not even worried about arrows piercing his flesh.

Is he afraid of a beating?

Stop speaking!

You are a messy-headed one who doesn't respect loyal subjects.

You should educate yourself more. It's called, "being muddle-headed!"

I know–

- Your subject...
- Your Maj–

accepts the decree.

Great! Go down and take your punishment.

- Ling Zisheng–
- I'll tell you.

After the beating, get yourself back to the Censorate.

However it looked before you smashed it,

- you must return it to its original state!
- Yes.

Your Majesty!

- Zisheng, the caning punishment and the executioner are prepared outside.
- Kneel.

- Kneel!
- Go ahead.

Your Maj–

Ling Zisheng!

Miss Cheng, they are about to start beating him outside.

Why don't we go together to watch?

Your Majesty, Zisheng is already pitiful enough.

His father isn't kind, his mother is sick, and he even has an immature wife-to-be.

Fifth Prince is also here, rejoicing in others' misfortunes.

I'm not!

My son, you've worked hard.

All thanks to you. Without you,

Zisheng couldn't have easily gathered all eight families.

Imperial Father, it's not worth mentioning.

You accompanied Zisheng all the way in the beatings, you probably enjoyed watching the show.

That's right.

That's enough. Then go. Go and receive 10 strokes.

That's not right! Imperial Father, th–that's all–all–Ling Buyi who forced me. It's not my original intention!

- It's not–
- Go!

Imperial Father!

How come the person strung along with misfortune is always me?!

Your Majesty!

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

Six!

Seven!

Eight!

Nine!

Ten!

Eleven!

Twelve!

Thirteen!

Your Majesty.

You are truly heartless.

Zisheng has been pitifully alone since childhood. Even though he has parents, it's like he has no parents.

He treats Your Majesty as his own father.

Zisheng was really angered by me today, that's why he barged into the Censorate.

But even though the law won't tolerate him, it's understandable. Your Majesty can be considerate of him.

I'm hitting him because of you.

Remember, the beatings Zisheng took today

are all because of you.

Okay. Then–Then if it's because of me, how come I can't stop it when I wish?

I–I know! In the beginning, I didn't love him enough.

But today, it's different. Now, all I see is him!

This man is mine! On ordinary days, I don't even have the heart to hit and scold him.

How could he suffer like this?

Twenty-five!

Twenty-six!

Twenty-seven!

Your Majesty! Third Prince miscounted!

He counted one beat slower! If he counts one beat slower, then Zisheng has to be beaten again!

Your Majesty! Look! Do you not care?

Shaoshang, stop pestering me endlessly here.

Zisheng!

Let me go! Let me go!

How audacious, Cheng Shaoshang!

You dare you to interrupt a punishment by imperial order?

Zisheng!

Even the scrolls state, "A father is responsible for his son's wrongdoings."

How come Zisheng clearly has parents, but it's as if he doesn't have parents!

If no one teaches him, he'll cause trouble, isn't that natural? I'm like that, too!

Why must children shoulder the beatings because of their parents' mistakes?

Your Majesty, we are the elders, how could we behave like this?

Don't talk! I can't hear!

I thought that His Majesty would be different from ordinary parents!

Looking at this today. It's not so! Move aside!

Impudent! How dare you question Imperial Father's decision?

You shut up!

He hit Zisheng one extra time earlier! Don't think that I didn't see it!

If you hit him once more, he'll be in pain once more!

His Majesty didn't say how hard to beat him.

You're clearly trying to k*ll him!

Look!

- Shaoshang is really crying! Crying until she's hoarse!
- Let go of me! Let go!

Let go!

Zisheng!

Let me go!

In the military, I've heard that the caning punishment requires skills.

In some of them, the flesh and skin don't look harmed,

but the tendons and bones are broken inside and the body is maimed.

There are some where the blood is splashing around, but actually, there is no great harm.

Your Majesty, which method did you use?

I can't hide anything from A'Heng. Of course, it's the latter.

Ling Zisheng!

I promise that I'll never quarrel with you again!

You angering me like this

and doing something like this, using your own body to anger me,

is it worth it?

Let go! Ling Zisheng!

Let me go!

- Cao Cheng.
- I am here.
- Go.

Tell the one who is blocking Shaosheng

to let go a little bit. So Shaoshang can get a bit closer to Zisheng.

So she can see but can't touch. That way her heart would feel even more pain.

Yes.

Your Majesty, are you going to trick Shaoshang like this?

Shen'an, you don't understand.

In the future, when they have a bunch of kids and are enjoying the full moon and blooming flowers,

they will thank me for my trickery today.

Sister A'Heng,

originally you and His Majesty were childhood sweethearts.

What exactly did you see in him?

His face.

His Majesty used to have the nickname of Feng County's Top Beauty.

In my view, nowadays, he's simply shameless. [Wordplay, he doesn't want his face anymore]

Ling Zisheng!

Let me go!

Let go!

Move!

Stop hitting him! You're not allowed to hit him!

You're not allowed to hit him!

If you continue to hit him, hit me instead!

Does it hurt?

I promise you.

In the future, if something happens, I'll discuss it with you.

I will never make a decision on my own!

A married couple acts as one. [Lit. is of one heart and body]

From now on, I'll give you my true heart.

Stop acting crazy because of me, all right?

In fact, I'd fallen in love with you already!

Why don't you know that?

What did she say?

What did she say? How come I can't hear her?

What– What did–

It seems that not only has Your Majesty lost face, but you also lost your hearing!

If you can't hear, can't you see?

Just looking at her, you can tell! She says she loves Zisheng!

That's right? Then that's enough.

With just those words, that's enough!

Then, will Your Majesty continue to hit him?

She already says she loves Zisheng, what's the point of continuing to hit him?

That's enough! Guards! Go!

Tell Third Prince to stop. Stop hitting him.

Hurry and carry Zisheng back to Changqiu Palace! Have him properly recuperate.

The one who was beaten was Zisheng, but the person hurting is me.

Shen'an.

Shen'an? Could it be that my method

- was bad?
- It was good!

It's a waste of talent that Your Majesty is only the emperor.

That's right.

An emperor like me–

...has it rough.

Is it easy for me?

Empress,

the snowfall is heavy today.

What is it if there's snowfall? You've been busy all day,

and Zisheng has Imperial Physician Sun.

Hurry and get some rest.

I don't think I saw any heavy blankets in Zisheng's room.

With such heavy snowfall today,

I wonder if he'll be cold.

I will order someone to send some.

He doesn't often spend the night at Changqiu Palace. He must not be used to it.

I wonder if the height of his pillow is suitable. If he sleeps too long, his neck might be sore.

He has grown up in Changqiu Palace.

He would be more accustomed than you!

But that's where he stayed in his childhood. It has been empty for many years.

In haste to move him in, I wonder if the humid air has been cleared.

He already has injuries. I don't want him to fall sick before his injuries are healed.

- I should go check on him–
- Cheng Shaoshang!

I've ordered Nanny Zhai to prepare medicine to soothe the nerves and clear internal heat for you.

You've been crying for so long. Your throat must be hoarse.

Hurry and drink it, and sleep. Do not worry about other matters.

The two of them, father and son, are doing well.

Hurry and go inside!

Go to sleep.

Let's go.

Who is it?

Young Lord! Young Lord!

I've come to see you!

Young Lord! Are you all right?

I was finally able to sneak into the harem. [Chambers of the Imperial wives]

Why are you here?

Brother forced me to come.

That's not right.

I was worried that no one would take care of Young Lord for the night, so I came.

Young Lord, you don't understand how dangerous it was.

I finally snuck into the harem.

I was almost discovered by the palace guards. With a single slash, I would have to become a eunuch.

There are also standards in appearances to be a eunuch. With your looks,

even if you were castrated, you might not be able to become a eunuch.

That's enough. Go back.

I want to sleep.

- Hurry and open the door!
- Yes.

Hurry!

Close the door!

Zisheng!

Shaoshang,

- why did you come?
- Don't get up! It will tear your wound.

I knew that your blanket would be a summer blanket. It's thin and cold.

I brought you my blanket. I was warming it by the fire for some time.

It's warm inside.

Do you feel warm?

It's warm.

Life in the military is colder than this.

Even if it's the winter days, other than when dripping water forms into ice immediately,

Young Lord always has thin blankets and cold beds.

Are you cold?

Why are you wearing so little?

Don't worry about me.

I was just wrapped up in the blanket when I came. I'm not cold.

All right.

A'Fei.

Changqiu Palace does not allow outside men to stay the night.

Hurry and go back.

Young Lord! I risked castration to come–

That's right.

Young Lord is worried about my safety.

Then I'll risk castration again to leave the palace.

- Close the door!
- Yes.

I'm bitterly disappointed. [Lit. my heart is cold]

Why did you sit up?

What you want to do,

is what we will both do.

Hurry and lie down.

Did it tug at your wound?

I will call the imperial physician to come.

I am fine.

Your Majesty, a caning of 100 times will cost a life! You must not!

Your subject...

accepts the decree.

Is your injury fake?

Why would my injury be fake?

Because you want to trade your injury for my heartache

to achieve your own purpose.

Then, why would my injury certainly cause your heartache?

If your heart doesn't ache,

no matter what my strategies were, wouldn't they be pointless?

For Lady Shaoshang's heart to ache for me,

Zisheng has the blessing of three lives.

Shouldn't we...

wait until after our marriage to do these things?

Shouldn't I be saying that?

Then we should kiss again.

This time, you can say it.

Dream on.

I brought you some medicine. Hurry and lie down.

Slowly.

Is it bitter?

It's sweet.

Empress said, this is a calming soup.

You will sleep well after having it.

I don't need calming soup.

Your company is enough.

Once you finish the soup, I will play the flute for you.

Why are you staring at me?

I remember the first time I clearly saw you,

you were so beautiful, just like today.

You still remember the first time you saw me?

Of course.

That night at the lantern festival, you were looking at the lanterns,

and I was looking at you.

You watched me for so long that night,

why didn't you come to find me?

Because I had something major I hadn't accomplished,

and hadn't made up my mind to get married.

Just one encounter is not enough to decide on marriage, right?

One encounter...

One encounter is enough.

What was it like when you first saw me?

That day,

the sky was covered with various colorful lights and lanterns.

You paused on the streets.

It was full of people,

but I only saw you.

I was thinking then,

of the phrase, "One gaze that lasts 10,000 years,"

is probably just that.

Just one look...

and I knew,

for the rest of my life,

it would be only you.

From now on,

if you don't deceive me, Shaoshang...

won't disappoint you either.

Why did Madam eat so little today?

Tell the kitchen, no need to cook this much food going forward.

There's more food than people, it makes me feel down.

Dear, it's cold and damp in the winter, be careful not to get a chill.

This cloak...

was bestowed from the empress to Niao Niao.

As soon as Niao Niao received it, she dispatched someone to deliver it home.

She still misses you, her mother.

She previously said that she'd return home right after the birthday banquet.

The birthday banquet was over a long while ago. Why isn't she back home yet?

I know. In the past, I was too strict in disciplining her.

It shouldn't be that, after meeting the empress,

she would forget me, her own mother.

Dear, you finally realize how important Niao Niao is to our family?

She used to be naughty and contradictory to us. You'd get annoyed.

Who knew that, after not seeing her for some days, you'd miss her?

That's true. I miss her, but does she ever miss me?

Niao Niao is in the palace. She can't move freely.

Dear, you shouldn't be too critical of Niao Niao.

In this entire capital, whose daughter is as understanding and achieving as Niao Niao?

Not only did we have to worry about her marriage,

she even brought honor to the family.

Look at those brainless, unthinking girls next to Fifth Princess

who caused trouble at the empress's birthday banquet.

As a result, their fathers and brothers got implicated.

That's precisely what I fear, that Niao Niao will cause trouble outside.

I thought Ling Buyi could restrain her.

Who could have expected Ling Buyi to forget his etiquette for her?

He would even beat up the Censor and get punished by His Majesty.

That's because Niao Niao is capable.

Dear, don't you think, after having Ling Buyi,

Niao Niao doesn't seem to be as troublesome now?

Sure. You can count 1,000 times or 10,000 times, but could you have counted on

Ling Buyi being even crazier than Niao Niao?

Just as Young Lord predicted. You smashed the Censorate,

His Majesty then punished you to personally restore it in order to pacify the crowd's anger.

We secretly brought out the archive of the Yue Army's military reports from years ago.

Lord Zuo didn't suspect it.

In order to obtain them, Young Lord had to endure a good beating. What an aggrievance!

Can we conclude that Young Marquis Yue delayed the rescue of the lone city?

- Why did we go to the Censorate to find the military reports?
- Even though Young Marquis Yue has a greedy nature,

Consort Yue is broadminded and open.

She never gets involved in conflicts.

For her sake, His Majesty will care for the Yue family.

Therefore,

- we need evidence.
- The military physician who could testify is dead.

Han Wu also lost his life for this.

Young Lord can't go empty-handed to His Majesty

- to accuse Young Marquis Yue.
- Han Wu said...

that those soldiers who were dispatched to explore the miasma all died,

but their w*r horses

were still in the army.

But these military reports

don't mention any loss of w*r horses.

At that time, w*r horses were very precious.

If they really died in the miasma, the report should have been submitted.

Therefore, it confirms that the w*r horses didn't die in the miasma.

The miasma that poisoned those soldiers was also a fake.

Young Marquis Yue clearly lied.

Among the meritorious officials that contributed to the empire's founding, Young Marquis Yue is famous for being slippery.

He never leaves traces when he makes a mistake.

Unless he admits it himself, we can't do much about him.

If he doesn't make a mistake,

we will force him to make a mistake.
