[Love Like the Galaxy]

[Love Like the Galaxy 2: Episode 20]

General Peng, we ate meat all night and you got beaten up all night.

We feel bad.

Conspiracy is punished by a death sentence anyway.

I committed it, so I'm not afraid of dying.

If you want to k*ll me, please go ahead.

Young Lord, General Peng's hot oil.

If General Peng is still unwilling to talk,

then you won't need to open your mouth for the rest of your life.

Ling Buyi.

- You're crazy.
- Stop!

Ling Buyi, you're crazy.

Peng Kun is an imperial criminal.

How can you seize a prisoner to privately interrogate?

The emperor entrusted Shouchun to him and had high expectations.

But because of his own interests, he initiated the troops to conspire.

This is not loyalty.

Old Prince Qian'an saw him as a brother.

He trusted and trained him.

But he returned the kindness with ungratefulness and plotted to m*rder Prince Qian'an.

This is unrighteous.

You still want to protect a disloyal and unrighteous person?

I think you're the crazy one instead.

A country has its laws.

Even if Peng Kun needs to be k*lled, only when the emperor gives the order, then can we do it.

I must bring him back to the Ministry of Justice.

General Ling, you've interrogated him in the military camp for a whole night.

You've already violated the rules.

I hope that you won't knowingly break the law and make it difficult for me

and make the emperor look bad.

What if I must continue to interrogate him today?

Then, General Ling, please walk over my dead body first.

It's only now that I know Yuan Shanjian is a person who obeys the rules inflexibly.

I don't care whether Peng Kun is dead or alive.

But if you keep messing around, you will definitely get into trouble.

You are about to get married to Cheng Shaoshang.

I advise you to proceed with caution.

Don't let people have a reason to gossip about you in the imperial court.

If you can only bring her trouble, I don't mind replacing you.

Your Majesty, Peng Kun's family member is crying at the Changqiu Palace.

Peng Kun's family member is pitiful. The baby in the womb might not be saved.

All of this is Ling Buyi's fault.

The Censorate will even blame General Ling for something like being unable to save a baby?

You really have nothing better to do.

If not for Ling Buyi using t*rture to obtain confessions under false charges,

how could Your Majesty be the subject of gossip?

Do we have to be gentle when executing a sentence?

Could it be that Lord Zuo thinks investigation and fighting battles are like your Censorate?

Just moving the mouth and we can get a confession from the traitor?

Third Brother, Lord Zuo does not mean it that way.

Lord Zuo, Zisheng is also eager to convict the traitor.

I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding between you two.

What is right is right. What is wrong is wrong.

There will always be a verdict.

Imperial Brother, why is there a need to give each of them 50 flogs?

Have all of you said enough?

Cheng Shaoshang, you are increasingly daring now.

Your Majesty, I'm wronged.

No matter how muddled I am, I will not attack a pregnant woman.

But she kept standing up for the traitor, Peng Kun. She even discredited our Zisheng verbally.

I couldn't bear it...

I couldn't bear it, so I stuffed the handkerchief in her mouth.

Was it a handkerchief?

It was obviously a sock.

Lord Zuo, when did you smell my sock?

You're impudent!

This is Chongde Hall.

Even if Ling Buyi is your future husband,

you can't speak like that and humiliate an important imperial court minister.

It's not that she can't,

it's that she doesn't need to.

Because her future husband can verbally humiliate the so-called important imperial court minister.

I'm afraid that Lord Zuo has not gotten enough beatings.

You still dare to make it difficult for my future wife?

Ling Buyi, you bully intolerably!

You keep standing up for the traitor, Peng Kun.

This is bullying intolerably.

How did I stand up for Peng Kun?

Conspiracy to take over the throne, rebelling against the emperor,

these can be dealt with according to the law.

But General Ling brought the person from the Ministry of Justice to the Northern Army prison.

He interrogated privately and used t*rture. This is discordance with the law.

Because he not only is embroiled in a serious crime of treason,

he was also involved in the fall of the lone city back then.

What do you know?

Peng Kun was desperate and took a risk because Young Marquis Yue was captured.

Peng Kun knew that his k*lling Prince Qian'an and being involved in the fall of the lone city can no longer be hidden.

But back then, he was only a deputy general.

How could he dare to m*rder the commander-in-chief?

The mastermind of this matter is definitely another person.

Wang Ling told me that Peng Kun had been in correspondence with someone in the capital all these years.

And the person who is in correspondence with Peng Kun secretly

might be the real k*ller who was involved in the lone city case.

Peng Kun felt threatened. He was forced to take the risk of rebelling.

General Ling brought Peng Kun to the Northern Army prison to interrogate in order to find out the secret person quickly.

I dare to ask Lord Zuo, what's wrong with this?

In that case, Peng Kun should all the more be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation.

Zisheng has a lot of involvement with the lone city. It's inappropriate for him to take part in the case.

It's precisely because this case is connected to me,

so all the more I should be the one interrogating.

Thereby bringing solace to the souls of the dead people of the lone city.

Since this case is connected to the lone city,

Zisheng can go together with the Ministry of Justice to investigate.

Third Prince, keep a close eye.

There must be no use of t*rture to force a confession.

Yes.

Your Majesty, Wang Ling said Peng Kun kept refusing to confess because he was afraid he'd implicate his wife and child.

If Your Majesty can spare the baby in Wang Ling's womb,

she's willing to go to the Ministry of Justice and persuade Peng Kun.

The child is innocent.

I am not a tyrant.

If Peng Kun is willing to confess,

I will make sure his wife and child are unharmed.

Many thanks, Your Majesty.

Your Highness, please wait.

Marquis Chengyang, why do you want to see me?

I have a request.

Can I speak with you elsewhere?

Shaoshang.

Shaoshang.

What did Wang Ling say to you?

She said,

in order to make Young Marquis Yue give himself away,

you just watched him and Liang Xia collude to k*ll Liang Shang,

then used that to frame Crown Prince.

Is that right?

Lady Wenxiu was tricked by Young Marquis Yue to secretly mint money at Shouchun.

You actually knew about it long ago,

but you'd never thought of telling the empress, much less stop it.

You would rather let His Majesty be disappointed with the empress and crown prince.

You'd never thought of helping to hide it.

Is that right?

You dealt with Lady Wenxiu.

I thought you were doing it for me as a personal grievance.

Instead of saying you fought the Censorate for me,

we might as well say you did it to make a big commotion out of Fifth Princess's matters.

You wanted Young Marquis Yue to start the attack on the Eastern Palace.

Is that right?

Everyone said that you, Ling Buyi,

would do anything for me.

But who would have thought

I'm just your shield.

I don't want to be labeled as...

the lady that caused all the woes.

Are you done talking? It's my turn, then.

The crown prince doesn't do anything.

All the court officials dislike him for being slow-witted and useless.

If he makes a mistake,

the number of people finding fault with him will increase.

Yet Crown Prince is easily swayed

and he thinks highly of Wang Chun and Grand Tutor Lou.

Those two, one of them is an incompetent debauchee,

the other is a stick-in-the-mud and hypocrite.

If things continue the way they are, Crown Prince is bound to make mistakes.

And he will only make more and more mistakes.

If we don't remove weeds and clingy vines,

how can we grow valuable plants?

So that goes to say that those were indeed done by you.

Shaoshang,

I don't want you to misunderstand me.

I've not misunderstood you.

I just want to know the truth.

What kind of person are you actually?

How can you pretend to be so nonchalant in front of the empress and crown prince?

Yet you schemed behind everyone's back.

Everyone that I schemed against either deserves what they got,

or they don't deserve their position. But the things I did for you...

were all sincere.

But I wish to understand you.

I wish to know...

what kind of person I'll be sharing a bed and having children with.

We're getting married soon.

But I feel that I know nothing about you.

Zisheng,

let me ask you again.

Is there anything major that you haven't told me about?

As long as you tell me,

I'll believe you.

Actually, I...

General Ling!

General Ling, Crown Prince wishes to see you.

Go ahead.

I'll see how you can face the crown prince's brotherly love for you.

Zisheng.

- Your Highness.
- Zisheng.

It's rare for Marquis Chengyang to enter the palace. You two father and son finally have the chance to see each other.

How about having lunch together today?

Your Highness,

His Majesty has ordered me to assist the Ministry of Justice in Peng Kun's trial.

Currently, the case has not been thoroughly investigated. If there isn't anything important,

I shall take my leave.

Zisheng, there's no hurry.

Zisheng,

you haven't met up with me ever since you returned from Shouchun.

Now that you're about to get married,

I have some private things to say to you.

Can I not do that?

Zisheng, Marquis Chengyang just wants to have lunch with you.

You two are family after all, why be so uncompromising?

Zisheng, is that Peng Kun so important to you

that you would give up your sleep and meals, and can't even delay a moment?

Why does my investigation of Peng Kun's case...

make Marquis Chengyang so anxious?

You would even go to this extent...

to hold me back from trying the case.

It just pains my heart

to see you hurting your health for the sake of investigating the case.

If this is all you have to say, then there's no need to continue.

I don't have the time to listen or to pretend to be a loving father and son with you.

You should leave such hypocritical pretense...

to Madam Chunyu.

Zisheng!

I've failed to help Marquis Chengyang.

I'm used to it.

It doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter.

Under His Majesty's orders, Madam Peng specially prepared food and wine to visit Peng Kun.

She intended to persuade her husband to confess, but unexpectedly when she arrived in prison,

she found that Peng Kun had died from his illness.

Has the coroner examined him yet? What's the reason of death?

The coroner has examined him. It was an asthma attack.

I've heard from Wang Ling before that Peng Kun suffered from asthma.

He cannot smell any flowers and plants. This should be an old illness.

Peng Kun's crime is serious and he was imprisoned separately. No one realized it when he suffered the asthma attack.

Hence, we missed the opportunity to treat him.

This is clearly retribution.

Peng Kun caused the death of Old Prince Qian'an

and indirectly caused the fall of the lone city.

Your uncle's whole family was massacred.

He deserved more than death for his crimes.

Zisheng, I know that you haven't been able to put what happened at the lone city behind you.

Now that Peng Kun is dead, you can finally be at peace.

After you marry Shaoshang, live happily.

Don't worry about those unrelated matters.

Was it you? Did you k*ll him?

Zisheng, calm down!

This was unexpected.

Ling Yi...

[Wang Family's Restaurant]

- Young Lord...
- Go away!

- Young Lord, the rain is too heavy–
- I said to scram!

I've come to be with you.

Zisheng.

If there is something that even you can't do in this world,

it must be very difficult.

Other people won't be able to do it, either.

Everyone says that...

I, Ling Zisheng, can do everything.

Actually, I can't do anything.

I can't do anything.

Shaoshang...

When I close my eyes,

they are all staring at me, with blood all over them.

They also keep asking me...

Why?

Why haven't you taken revenge?

Why haven't you taken revenge?

I shouldn't have lived.

I've waited ten-some years.

I've endured ten-some years.

But ultimately...

Ultimately, there is still nothing.

That won't happen.

That won't happen. There must be another way.

There isn't.

There is no other way.

I've thought of all sorts of ideas.

I've done everything I can.

There's no other way.

What exactly is this about? Tell me.

I can share the burden with you.

I am your future wife.

We should be able to talk about everything.

Right now, the game...

is a dead end.

Shaoshang...

I have no way out.

Will you really always stay with me?

No matter what happens,

I will help you.

No matter what it is,

I will always stand by you.

Cheng Shaoshang,

actually,

I'm not...

-Young Lord!
- Young Lord!

It's really bad, Young Lord.

Madam probably... can't hold on anymore.

A'Yuan?

I'm here.

Have you picked the apricot flowers?

I'll go right now. You love the apricot flowers the most.

However many you want,

I will pick them for you.

A'Yuan,

back then,

it would have been better to marry you.

I'm stupid. I'm an idiot.

I should have married you a long time ago.

If I had married you,

I wouldn't have ended up this way.

A'Yuan, I'm sorry.

Come here.

Do not forget... our grievance.

I promise you.

I will never forget.

This grievance...

shall be avenged.

Good.

A'Li?

A'Li...

Junhua.

Rest assured.

You didn't sleep at all last night.

The physician brewed some calming soup.

You should rest a little

so that you'll have the energy to arrange for Madam Huo's funeral.

I'd long expected this day to come.

People live one lifetime, grass and plants live one season.

Old age, illness, and death are unavoidable.

Sooner or later, people part.

Even though the parting between life and death is inevitable,

as long as your heart remembers,

whether it's in the netherworld or in the far distance,

you cannot be truly separated.

Is it really so?

Zisheng,

what were you going to tell me yesterday?

Zisheng, no matter what you want to do,

as long as you say it,

I'll agree to it all.

I understand that the lone city has been a knot in your heart.

I also understand all that you've done...

for the Huo clan over these years.

If I could have known you earlier,

I would have been able to shoulder it with you together,

so that you wouldn't be walking the difficult road by yourself.

Now that Peng Kun is dead, the lone city's case is concluded.

You can let go of vengeance now.

Before we marry,

I hope you can trust me.

[Huo family spirit tablets]

Shaoshang,

if there comes a day,

when I do something shocking,

will you not change your mind about me?

Your mother's coffin is here.

I'm willing to swear in front of her.

To the spirits above, as witnessed by Heaven,

I, Cheng Shaoshang, am pledging an oath.

Ling Buyi and I...

are in love forever and shall never part.

If he doesn't leave me,

I won't abandon him.

I'm pledging this oath at my own will,

and I won't renege for the rest of my life.

Zisheng, I dare to bite the arm to seal the bond.
[An ancient ritual]

Do you dare?

You and I are bonded by the bitten arms.

The wound connects to the heart.

From my heart, I'm asking you once again.

Do you have something to say to me?

If anyone hurts your family, you know that person is guilty,

but you can't convict that person by law,

what will you do?

If someone hurts my family, I definitely won't forgive him.

However much pain he's caused me, I'll repay him tens of thousands of times more.

No matter what happens,

I'll help you.

No matter what it is,

I will always stand by you.

No, I don't.

Villain Ling!

How do you still have the face to come see her?

Get out!

You aren't welcomed here.

Marquis Cui, there are already many rumors about you and Older Sister out there.

You keep blocking us. Aren't you afraid that Older Sister will be criticized even after death?

You shameless, vicious woman!

Don't you smear Junhua!

Do you think everyone is like you who commits adultery?

Marquis!

Why is Marquis Chengyang here at my mother's mourning hall?

I'm here to say farewell to Madam.

Why is he hitting people?

Hitting people?

You are the one I want to hit!

Zisheng, it'll be your father's 50-year birthday in seven days.

The marquis plans to host a banquet in the manor.

Members of the Ling clan have come from all over the country.

Your father came here today originally to invite your mother to come to the banquet.

Who would have guessed that Older Sister would suddenly pass away

and leave us forever.

Forget about the banquet.

Junhua has just passed.

If we hold a banquet now, it's not appropriate.

But all the Ling clan's members have arrived at the capital.

How can we change it?

Since it's already set up,

just do it then.

When Marquis' birthday arrives,

I will come and bring along Mother's birthday gift.

Zisheng can come. This is great.

I'll prepare more of your favorite dishes and wine.

I know you feel sad.

When people die, it's like the light getting extinguished.

You must take good care of your own body.
