Episode 29
Here.
Yun Kuang, I don't want to go in.
I'm going to look for my child.
Haven't we already agreed to leave that to me?
I'll send all my men to search for your child.
I don't want you to go through all that trouble for me.
It will set tongues wagging.
Why will that happen?
Who's going to spread rumors about us searching for a child?
Warlord.
Warlord, you're home.
Le Er, why are you here as well?
This seems to be two happy events at one time.
We happened to meet on my way back.
Miao Ge, I...
I understand. You must be tired after the journey.
I've prepared a room for you. Come with me.
What are you going to do?
Warlord, that is an odd question.
What else can I do?
Le Er and I grew up together so why can't we have a private chat?
- Lu Qiao, you may leave now. - Yes.
How do you like it? Is this all right for you?
This is identical to your bedroom.
I had someone refurnish it for you a year ago.
Come take a seat.
I think about you very often.
I think about the wonderful times we had together.
Whenever I think about you, I come over and sit in here.
I'll tell myself I had let you down.
I'm a bad woman.
One day, I'll make it up to you.
But you always end up taking my guilt away.
You make me hate you so much.
Why did you come here?
Why are you here to provoke him?
Do you know I've tried all I could in the past year to get you off his mind?
But here you are again.
All my efforts have gone down the drain.
Lu Le, you really are my nemesis.
If you were going to do this to me you shouldn't have saved me in the first place.
You should have left me to die in the mass grave!
Miao Ge.
I'm not trying to pick a fight with you by saying these words to you.
He loves you so I already lost the fight before I even tried.
I'm begging you to let me lead a life of happiness until I die, will you?
There's nothing between me and Yun Kuang.
I never meant to come here in the first place.
Fine, I will go away.
No, you can't! I was the one who took you in, so I'll be damned if you leave now.
What do you want from me?
Take things as they come. Just behave yourself.
Try to slip away when you have the chance.
I get it.
I will leave when I can.
I am already Hai Tian's wife.
Le Er, in what way am I inferior to you?
Miao Ge, do you know you've always been beautiful?
I was immediately struck by your beauty when I first met you.
I thought to myself, 'How great would it be to have such a beautiful person by my side?'
But I am now a mother.
That makes me even more inferior to you.
But why won't he look at me?
He won't even spare me a glance.
I understand how you feel but I believe sunshine comes after a storm.
I understand these theories.
But I can't do it.
I can feel the tension in my body whenever I see him.
How I wish he would kiss me, hug me, and pamper me.
But he's never done that to me.
He's never touched me.
My affection for him is never reciprocated.
Le Er, you wouldn't understand how I feel.
I do.
When it comes to love, may it be right or wrong
as long as you don't give up on him, he will eventually appreciate you.
My dearest sister.
- Le Er. - I'm leaving tomorrow.
Don't worry, I won't make you upset for much longer.
- Where are you going? - To look for my child.
And to look for my father. I miss him so much.
I miss him greatly as well.
How I wish we could turn back time.
I miss those days when we were so carefree.
We could never turn back time.
Is that so?
Miao Ge, we will always be sisters.
Sisters for life.
Le Er, look who's here.
Father!
- Father! - Le Er!
Sit and chat?
Come over here.
- Father, how have you been these years? - I've been doing quite well.
I don't run a business anymore.
We lived off the gifts and money Miao Ge rewarded us with.
I'm spending my remaining years in comfort.
There were times when I thought of your mother.
That keeps me awake at night.
I think of her often.
I think she is watching over us from heaven.
You're right.
I was wondering what the buzz is about and I find Godfather here.
Miao Ge... Your Highness.
Come and have a seat.
You haven't seen each other for a long time.
No, it's all right. An outsider shouldn't interrupt a family reunion.
I'll head back to my room.
- Miao Ge! - Let her be.
Madam!
I recognize your hand.
Who are you?
I'm the Master of the Dark Valley.
Why have you brought me here?
I know you wanted me to do so.
Did you foresee that as well?
You have an issue that weighs heavily on your mind.
I'd like to resolve that issue for you.
- You can't! - When you are in love with someone
you give him the right to hurt you.
Isn't love about not asking for anything in return?
Let me tell you a story.
When I was young, my mother left me.
I went to visit her when I grew up.
But she didn't come to meet me.
When I turned to leave, I could feel a pair of eyes gazing at me from behind.
But I never looked back.
If she won't allow me to see her, I won't allow myself either.
And then?
I later regretted it.
I thought to myself instead of having hatred in my mind
causing pain to both parties
I should learn to turn around.
Because then, at least one of us will be happy.
Madam, have you heard love is give and take?
You give out your love and the other takes and gives it back to you.
If you haven't even given your love to him, and you are already wondering
if that love will be reciprocated or if it is worthwhile
then it is pointless to be in love.
I've been burdening myself with troubles all this time.
Life is short.
It's all right to have missed it once.
The key is not to let it go a second time.
Be true to those around you.
A man's heart is not made of steel so he will appreciate you one day.
You are Luo Feng, aren't you?
That's not important.
The important matter is that your issue is resolved.
So you can lead a happy life.
Luo Feng, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Love isn't about apologies.
It isn't about asking for anything in return either.
If you love someone, you can hold on to him or choose to let him go.
But it's important that you're happy about it.
Will you show me your face?
Luo Feng, I knew it was you.
I knew it must be you.
You're the only person who was this kind to me.
That's why you have to lead a good life.
That is the best way you can repay my kindness.
When will I see you again?
You won't.
She is very nice to me.
She saved my life.
She has also sacrificed a lot for me.
I want to repay her kindness for the rest of my life.
Here, give this a try.
This is new tea the Huns offered to us.
It's different from ours.
Where's Miao Ge? Why didn't you invite her over?
She's always very paranoid.
We won't feel at ease with her around.
You shouldn't think so.
She's only reacting in that manner because she cares about you.
Men always say women are easily jealous.
But have you ever thought it is because you gave us the reason to doubt?
Le Er, mind your manners when you speak to the Warlord.
I am just stating the facts.
Yun Kuang, do you think I was wrong?
Le Er. Godfather.
Warlord, you're all here.
- You may leave now. - Yes.
I made some snacks. Should we all try them?
They look exquisite. They make my mouth water.
Le Er, wait a minute.
It tastes really good. It'll be your loss if you don't give them a try.
Miao Ge is getting better and better at cooking.
It's very tasty.
Warlord, won't you give it a try?
I don't want one yet.
I just remembered the Warlord and Le Er used to play chess together.
- Bring the chess board. - Yes.
Godfather, I don't know anything about chess, so why don't we take a walk around?
- Well... - Don't you want to see if I'm happy here?
Sure. I'll come along and leave you to a game of chess.
I have no idea what she's up to this time.
She's changed her approach to love.
Well done. It is all in good order.
You are indeed gifted.
No wonder Her Ladyship thinks highly of you.
Thank you, My Lord.
I hope to achieve and accomplish great goals in the future.
The day will come. From now on, you will stay by my side.
We will then wait for the right timing.
Mister Su has just sent a letter saying the Warlord is very overbearing.
His subjects are all complaining about him.
He is still exhausted from the war with the Huns.
This is the perfect time to strike.
- Well... - My Lord!
My Lord, we have news of Her Ladyship!
Where is she?
Speak up!
- She has been taken by Yun Kuang! - What?
My Lord, let me take the spearhead.
I will wipe out their army!
All right! I now order the troops to resume their services.
Everyone is to gear up and get ready for war!
I'm determined to fight Yun Kuang to his death!
- Yes! - Yes!
Yun Kuang.
Is your father back in his room?
Now that he is much older, he gets tired easily.
What are you thinking about?
I'm thinking about Miao Ge.
I've misunderstood her just now.
I am at loss at how to approach her.
She won't take it to heart.
She loves you.
I really don't understand her.
She is so mean at times, and yet sometimes, she's...
But she has always loved you.
Yun Kuang, love isn't always about being together.
We have to learn to compromise.
Love is short-lived like fireworks.
At the end of the day, it's just two people spending their lives together.
We're still entangled in this relationship because we can't be together.
The best is always the one you can't get.
If we had been together all those years ago
we might have issues between us by now.
Since destiny has denied us of a chance to be together.
Let's just tuck this love away and preserve it well.
Miao Ge is a lovely woman.
You have to try to get to know her.
She was never truly wicked.
You will see a different side to her if you are willing to accept her.
You'd better leave now. She's waiting for you.
You are right.
But if we had been together from the very beginning
I'd never have changed.
There are no ifs.
Warlord.
What was your intention in having Le Er and I alone in the room?
I know you want to be with her.
How could you be so tolerant when you know about my past relationship with Le Er?
Why?
What's the use of holding on to this title if I am not on your mind?
And if I am on your mind, why should I fuss about anything?
My jealousy will only drive you further away from me.
So instead of that, I'd rather stay relaxed.
That way, you'll be happier as well.
Only then, can we stay husband and wife.
If not, I'd be left with nothing at all.
In a relationship, the one who fell in love first always tend to put in more effort.
I wouldn't dream of asking you to love me like you did with Le Er.
All I ask of you is not to hate me.
Don't be afraid of me, and don't leave me.
I will be content with that.
Hold me close.
Let's start over. I'll be good to you.
Then I will know you are the one.
The one I will spend a lifetime with.
My life is now worthwhile when you said that to me.
Soldiers of Xue State, listen up!
Yun Kuang is a vicious ruler who has no respect for lives.
Our Lordship is a man who abides by morals and is now upholding justice for all.
Those of you who surrender now will be spared.
You will join our troops.
If not, we will wipe you all out!
Don't believe a word he said!
Charge!
Shoot!
Those who surrender will be killed!
You are a true warrior.
Surrender!
I have already surrendered once to my enemies.
I won't do it twice!
Warlord.
The enemies will soon be at our doorstep!
You have to make up your mind soon!
They defeated Zhang Ji with sheer luck.
We haven't even sent our main troops in.
But we don't have as many men as they do!
Mister Qian, you should be aware of that.
We are at a disadvantage at the moment.
But we don't have to panic yet.
Don't forget we have Hai Tian's wife, Lu Le, in our hands.
Le Er is my friend, not some bargaining chip.
Exactly. Overtaking the nation is a huge ambition.
Why would anyone give everything up for the sake of a woman?
But Hai Tian would!
Warlord, have Lu Le arrested and send our men to Hai Tian to negotiate terms.
I wonder if you've overestimated Hai Tian or underestimated me?
Yun Kuang!
Save your breath.
Soldiers of Xue State are invincible.
Warlord!
Judging from our observations, the defense in this area is quite loose.
It shouldn't be too difficult to invade.
- But Le Er... - My Lord, do you trust me?
Why would you ask me such a question?
I am willing to go in there alone to save Her Ladyship.
No, that is too dangerous.
Hai Tian, why don't I go instead?
I used to serve at the palace so I know the layout really well.
That is why I am the best person for the task.
- Be very careful. - Yes.
Mister Qian.
How is it? Does the Warlord still refuse to see me?
The destiny of Xue State lies in this battle.
Yun Qi, I'll need your help.
- I don't know if you're bold enough to do it. - I am.
But this might cost you your life!
A real man is not afraid to die as long as it's worth it.
Great! Good child. Let me tell you about it.
- I understand. - All right. It's now in your hands.
The rise and fall of a state now comes down to a single move.
May the gods bless us.
Do you know Hai Tian is attacking us?
I know that.
That is why I sent Father away this morning.
He's too old to endure a hectic life.
We just made up and now this is happening.
Do the gods mean to keep us apart?
Miao Ge, whatever the circumstances, we will always be sisters.
Our states are in an awkward situation at the moment and so am I.
I'm afraid I can't stay here much longer.
No, I'm sure the Warlord will protect you.
He is too sentimental.
Isn't that why we are in love with him?
I just don't want anyone to get hurt.
Don't worry. This will be over soon.
By the Warlord's orders, I hereby arrest the family of Hai Tian, the rebel.
- Arrest her! - Yes!
What are you doing? Stop it!
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
I'm just carrying out orders. Take her away!
No! The Warlord would never do that!
Miao Ge, don't worry. Don't be so nervous.
The Warlord won't hurt me.
Le Er!
- I will come with you. - Sorry for offending you. Let's go!
This can't be...
The Warlord wouldn't ever do that to her.
I'm going to ask him about this.
As long as I have Yun Kuang's wife in my hands
I believe he will return Her Ladyship to us.
Hai Tian, Xiao Hui should be back anytime soon.
Let's launch an attack.
No. I can't put my mind at ease if I don't see Le Er.
Hai Tian, look at this.
Qian Zhong's messenger sent us a letter.
He told us to surrender within six hours or he will kill Her Ladyship.
Le Er... This won't do.
I must save Le Er!
- Hai Tian! - Hai Tian!
If you go there now, you're putting yourself in a dangerous position!
Even if we surrender, they might not spare her life.
Hai Tian, if you won't think for yourself, then think for our men!
What should I do? What should I do...
Hai Tian! Xiao Hui is back.
- General Xiao! - I'm sorry, My Lord.
I didn't manage to save Her Ladyship, but I brought Yun Kuang's wife back.
Warlord! I have bad news for you!
Why are you in such a panic?
Her Highness has gone missing!
She's missing? How could that be?
I've looked everywhere for her.
Could she be with Her Ladyship?
They are often together.
Lady Hai is already hung up against the walls.
What did you say?
Warlord, didn't you give orders to hang her up against the city walls?
Nonsense! Utter rubbish! Qian Zhong!
Warlord!
Warlord.
Go away! Do you still treat me as a Warlord?
- How dare you give out orders in my name? - Yun Kuang...
Let her go!
We can't let this woman go!
This woman will decide the rise and fall of Xue State.
I can't abide by your orders!
Yun Qi!
You can't be arrogant anymore!
Hai Tian is no longer who he used to be.
He is a ferocious tiger!
He can devour us at anytime!
She is the only bargaining chip we have!
Do you understand that?
Get out of my way!
Warlord!
Le Er, don't be scared. It's me.
I'm here to save you, Le Er.
Are you all right?
Le Er, don't be scared.
- Mister Qian... - Don't call me that!
That is too flattering!
Yun Kuang, I came to assist you because I'm indebted to your uncle.
At first, I thought you could achieve great things.
Little did I know you are overbearing and sentimental!
You can't even withstand a single blow!
You are incapable of achieving great goals!
I must be ignorant to have placed my hopes on you!
Fine. I will kill myself here today.
My spirit will wander the lands to witness Hai Tian come through the gates
and chop off your head!
Farewell!
Mister Qian! Get the imperial physician!
Yes! Get the imperial physician here!
We'll take our leave now.
Let's go!
Mister Qian.
Stop shedding crocodile tears after what you've done to my father!
I've never met a more shameless person than you!
It's you.
Now I regret not killing you and that woman at that time!
If I did, my father wouldn't have ended up like this!
Mister Qian has a daughter.
But I didn't even know that.
Stop talking nonsense! Attack!
- Go after her! - Don't bother!
Why aren't you going to arrest her?
That's Mister Qian's daughter. She did it out of grief.
