[Love Like the Galaxy]

[Love Like the Galaxy 2: Episode 26]

Sister Shaoshang, that day my words were rude.

I boasted about General Huo's affection for me.

I ask Sister to forgive me.

After my husband died, people in the Luo family keep forcing me.

They hope that I marry and climb socially again soon.

Otherwise, they will remarry me off again in the northwest.

Such a woman like me who doesn't have anything to my name, I can be a match for my first marriage,

but there's not much choice for my second marriage.

So I was impatient.

So you grabbed onto General Huo and did not want to let him go.

I have fancied General Huo since young.

I hoped that I could be together with him.

It's a pity that he does not think this way.

The most wrongful thing that I did

was to overestimate myself

and underestimated General Huo's affection for you.

I also deserved the humiliation in public this time.

General Huo, in front of so many people,

sent a mirror to my father and specified that it was for my dowry.

I don't dare to think

how humiliated Father was at that moment.

Don't look at me.

I don't want to have dealings with him.

All the more I won't plead to him for you.

I also won't convince him to marry you. This is your own matter.

No.

An infatuation that was wrongly invested for five years,

it's already enough.

How many five years can a woman have in her life?

Today, I came to tell Sister Shaoshang

that I've decided to go back to the northwest to live my remaining years.

We'll bid farewell in this life.

I've already found a carriage.

I'll depart tonight.

Sister and General Huo must grow old together.

Otherwise, I'll not accept it even when I'm in the northwest.

I've already let go of my obsession with Huo Buyi now.

But I still have something to do

for Empress Xuan.

After Empress Xuan became seriously ill,

she still missed General Huo in her heart.

Now General has finally come back.

How is Empress's illness now?

Imperial Physician Sun says her depression is severe.

An illness of the heart is difficult to cure.
[mental illness]

This morning, her illness has gotten worse again.

She can't even get up.

I understand.

Empress.

Is it Zisheng?

It's me.

You became thin.

I'm concerned about the capital.

I don't dare to slack off.

You are concerned about the capital or...

concerned about Shaoshang?

There's something I want to tell you.

Yuan Shanjian and Shaoshang

are not engaged.

I know.

You are still in Shaoshang's heart.

I also know.

I was wrong.

I've already decided...

to use my entire life to atone.

When she needed love the most during her youth,

she didn't receive love from her family.

If you want to love her,

then you have to compensate for the regrets in her heart.

Don't always ask her to understand your choices.

Both of you can walk the journey together

only when you discuss things.

Yes.

In the future, I and Shaoshang...

will tell each other everything and speak without reserve.

There will be no hiding at all.

It's a pity that time is too short.

I'm afraid I can't see the two of you get married.

I, your child, am incompetent.
[Calling himself her child as he grew up in her palace]

I made you worry.

I only hope that in the next life,

both of you can be my biological son and daughter.

I also hope I can live for a few more years

to smile all year round...

having both of you taking care of me to my old age.

That kind of life...

can be considered complete.

Miss Luo, why haven't we reached the residence of the miracle physician that you mentioned?

Previously, I searched for medicine for Seventh Young Master.

I then asked family and friends to find out the residences of a lot of highly skilled physicians in the capital.

In the end, I chose this person.

This physician is good at treating people with depression indeed.

If Miss Cheng doesn't believe me, go back to Changqiu Palace.

I'm afraid Empress Xuan cannot endure it for much longer.

Then stop the carriage first. I'll trouble Miss Luo

to tell me the exact location. After I go back and report to His Majesty,

I'll bring grand gifts to visit.

Sister Shaoshang, you don't trust me?

Look. This carriage holds my entire belongings.

I came to the capital city with these. Now I'm leaving with only these.

I have decided to return to the northwest.

Before I leave, would I harm you?

Adjutant Liang Qiufei passed along a message.

He requests General Huo to leave the palace to tend to an urgent matter.

Go ahead.

When you see Shaoshang, speak kindly to her.

She will understand you.

I will.

General Huo, Adjutant Liang Qiufei said that

Miss Cheng got into Miss Luo's carriage,

and the two left the capital for the outskirts of the city.

When did this happen?

About an hour ago.

When Miss Luo returns to the northwest, you can slowly pick your future husband.

If there is someone suitable, you won't have to reluctantly settle down for the rest of your life.

Who said that if a young lady doesn't have a husband, she can't live anymore?

Younger Sister really has no idea.

Other than General Huo, I will never marry anyone else.

He's not the only man in the world.

Why must you hang yourself to death on one tree?

You don't understand.

Since my youth, I've fancied General Huo.

But because of my lowly status, I naturally dared not confess.

Later, the both of us were separately engaged.

I thought I had no hope left in this lifetime.

Who knew that the heavens decided to pity me,

and allowed me to reunite with General Huo in the northwest?

Younger Sister Shaoshang would not be able to imagine how delighted I was then.

It's as if a person drowning to their death was suddenly sent a floating log.

So, when you and your deceased husband were still married,

you were already thinking about General Huo?

Do you know how it feels to deeply love someone

but having to serve someone else in body and mind?

In bed, there wasn't a moment that I didn't think of him.

I even had to take Seventh Young Master Jia as Zisheng's replacement to bear with it.

I didn't know.

You don't need to tell me such foolish things.

That's because you're clearly heartless.

Do you know what type of life he lived in the northwest?

He charged enemy lines and fought with his life.

Every time he fought in a battle, others sought survival, while he sought death.

You've got such a cruel heart.

Why are you so ruthless towards him?

Luckily, Zisheng has me.

I love him and respect him.

No matter what he does to me, I won't blame him.

I can accept his good and bad.

I am different from a young lady like you who gets engaged and cancels it at a whim.

I lived a chaste life. And I loved only one person.

Miss Luo, if it weren't for Empress Xuan,

I would never have come here with you.

Stop the carriage.

Cheng Shaoshang! Because of you, Huo Buyi cut off all ties with me.

Now that I have no home to return to,

all the young ladies in the capital are waiting to make a mockery of me.

How could I let you off the carriage?

Let me go. Let me go!

Did you know

that the military physicians said the bite scar on Zisheng's arm would never heal?

He even used medicine so it would scar more deeply. It's all because of you!

I've been so bitterly tricked by the two of you.

That's you tricking yourself!

Let me go!

He turns a blind eye to all the other young ladies.

Why are you special?

I entered the palace earlier than you.

I am more clever and virtuous than you.

With what right do you have that Huo Buyi only has eyes for you?

You really deserve to die.

Luo Jitong, even if you k*ll me, you won't obtain him.

So what?

For him, I dare to do anything!

I did not even hesitate to k*ll my husband.

But he still does not love me.

As long as I k*ll you,

he will remember me forever. Even if he hates me to his bones.

Stop the carriage!

Shaoshang!

Stop the carriage!

Zisheng!

If you dare stop the carriage, I'll k*ll her right now!

Luo Jitong, let her go!

We can properly discuss everything else!

Discuss?

I begged you yesterday, yet your expression didn't even change the slightest bit.

But now you're afraid?

Say, if you want me to let her go, I can.

But you must marry me. Can you agree to that?

Let her go first. I'll agree to everything!

Stop lying to me! You think I don't know

that other than Cheng Shaoshang, you're not planning on marrying anyone else? Since that's the case,

what meaning would there be in living?

I'll die with her!

Shaoshang, hold on!

Hurry and let go! With your skills, you must be able to climb up.

If you don't let go now, we will both die here.

Let go!

I won't let go unless I am dead.

Huo Buyi.

Even if you die for me, I won't forgive you.

- Hurry and let go!
- I won't live without you!

I know. I did too many wrong things,

and I'm not worthy of your forgiveness.

But ever since we bit each other's arms as a bond,

I've already taken you as my wife.

So, if you live, I live.

If you die,

I die!

Young Lord, we're here!

Hang on!

Shaoshang, hold onto the rope!

Your injury...

It's fine.

It'll be fine after the physician dresses it.

Miss Cheng,

let me send you back to the palace.

There's no need.

I can return on my own.

Then let A'Qi send you back.

Take my carriage.

I–

I will take my leave first.

Report! General Huo. Miss Cheng.

His Majesty requests you return to the palace immediately.

Empress Xuan...

Empress Xuan can't hold on any longer!

Shen'an, is there anything in your heart

that you can't let go of?

Tell me, and I...

will certainly accomplish it for you.

In my life,

I've always lived for others.

If I am still speaking for others now,

then it would be too meaningless.

I've been by Your Majesty's side for several decades.

I know Your Majesty's heart is still

one that loves agriculture and scholarly pursuits.

A candid and upright youngster.

If it weren't for the whole country in disarray

and also for Emperor Li's tyranny,

Your Majesty would have wished to live idly in the countryside,

marry Sister Yue Heng,

have a few children,

get up at sunrise to work until sundown,

and live a simple and peaceful life.

Shen'an,

for your whole life,

I'm the one...

who hindered you.

Your Majesty, you don't owe me.

I didn't dare to defy my uncle's marriage alliance.

Meeting you...

has been my life's fortune.

Your Majesty...

has given up too much for peace in the world.

It's the same with Sister A'Heng.

Just because she's bold and straightforward,

and talks openly,

Your Majesty shouldn't

think that she wouldn't take it to heart

or that her heart hasn't been broken.

I know that she's probably shed more tears behind others

than I have.

In the days going forward,

Your Majesty and Sister A'Heng

must be good together,

just like how close you were in the countryside,

as if I'd never been here.

Older Sister.

Your Majesty.

Yes?

Let me talk with Sister A'Heng.

All right.

Older Sister.

As long as I, Yue Heng, am alive,

I will ensure that the Xuan family is safe and sound.

Who is counting on you?

Crown Prince is here.

He is calm and capable.

I have no worries.

Right now, I want to talk about us.

That year, when my son encounted an assassination attempt at 19,

I never doubted you.

I know.

That year,

my son died prematurely at four months,

I also never doubted you.

I know that...

you've never doubted me.

That's why you were not afraid of the gossip

and accepted these children.

Older Sister.

To me,

we are like real sisters.

If we were

sisters in an ordinary family,

wouldn't that have been great?

Let the children come in now.

All of you can come in.

Slowly. Slowly.

My body...

will be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum.

Will you allow me...

to cut a small bunch of hair

to let Shaoshang burn into ashes

and take back to the mountain

where I lived during my childhood with my father?

Whatever you say, we'll do it.

Son,

don't always be so indecisive.

So what about glory?

People must live with an open mind

to be able to live a long time.

I'll let you take care of Nanny Zhai in her old age.

I will definitely take good care of Nanny Zhai.

Empress Mother, please hold on. I still want to serve you in your old age later on.

There's no later on for me.

Empress Mother, I've been wrong.

I've been wrong.

I'm willing to exchange my life for yours.

If you are truly filial,

don't use your life to exchange for mine.

Live well.

Cherish your own good times. Don't waste yourself.

Zisheng.

Empress.

I've disappointed you.

I've never blamed you.

I know that it's been hard for you

all along this way.

You don't owe us anything.

I know that you've been feeling regretful.

After I'm gone,

let the past disperse with the wind.

You should forgive yourself.

Shaoshang,

come.

Shaoshang,

you've been dragged down by me

for five years already.

What dragging down?

I'm still willing to follow Empress...

five more years, ten years...

Silly child.

How many five years or ten years are there in one's life?

You've already missed a lot for my sake.

I hope, in the days to come,

you will live a good life for yourself.

I don't want you...

to waste the rest of your life like I have.

As a mother, I hope the two of you

can resume your fated affection.

But as a sensible elder,

I also know that marriages cannot be forced.

I will only urge you two

to always follow your hearts,

cherish the present, do not regret it.

In the next life,

I hope I will live in a peaceful and prosperous era

lest I suffer from homelessness and turbulence.

In the next life,

I hope my parents will live healthy and long...

lest I suffer from worries and sorrow.

In my next life,

I hope I can compose poetry in youth,

and sing in the mountainous wilderness.

Husband,

marrying you has been my life's fortune.

In the next life, I hope you and I...

will not... meet... again.

General Huo, let's talk somewhere else.

Sure.

What exactly happened?

Empress Xuan passed away.

The two of you can rest assured.

I only came to bring Shaoshang home.

I'll leave immediately and not disturb you.

Huo Buyi, stop right there!

General Huo, what do you think our Marquis Quling's Manor is?

Who do you think our Niao Niao is?

You can come when you want, and leave when you want?

Just like those years ago, you were about to marry her, but you abandoned her.

Five years ago, you abandoned Niao Niao.

She was so sick that she almost died.

Go to the storage room in the back courtyard to take a look.

The half-made coffin for her is still there!

I know I have deeply disappointed Shaoshang.

I also know how much you love and care for Shaoshang.

That's why...

I have decided never to bother you again.

Do you know how Niao Niao lived over the past five years?

She used to love the hustle and bustle.

But she shut herself up in Changqiu Palace for five whole years.

I was ill and couldn't get well.

Her older brother married. Her older cousin married.

We were all longing to see her again.

But she never took a step out of Changqiu Palace.

You lost her for five years.

Our Cheng family also lost our daughter for five years!

Do you know for whom she did this?

It was for you,

Huo Buyi.

It's all my fault.

I let Shaoshang down despite all the love she had for me.

I let the Cheng family down despite your trust in me.

I'm sorry to Shaoshang.

I'm also sorry to the Cheng family.

What I owe cannot be made up in my whole life.

Not to mention that Shaoshang can't forgive me,

even I...

can never forgive myself.

In the northwest,

I fought and k*lled without caring whether it was day or night.

I only wished a sword's blade would pierce through my chest and let me die on the b*ttlefield.

But I also didn't dare to die.

I have yet to make her put down her hateful resentment.

I don't have the right to die.

General Huo,

we are not asking you to acknowledge your guilt.

What we just said, wasn't to make you feel guilty.

As Niao Niao's parents,

we didn't give her enough love and care since she was young.

It's also too late for us to regret it.

In the future, whichever road Niao NIao will take, whoever she will marry,

we are now letting her decide.

Between you, one has love, the other has heart,

too bad that Heaven plays with us.

As to whether you can resume your previous affection,

let's take it step by step to see.
