Episode 14
♫ Where are you, I asked myself ♫
♫ You left in secret ♫
♫ without a trail ♫
♫ I still remember when you were here ♫
♫ I couldn't help thinking of you, ♫
♫ with or without trying ♫
♫ somewhere I can't reach ♫
♫ so many things too late to do ♫
♫ The eyes and the lips ♫
♫ the happiness and touching feeling I had that day ♫
♫ It was because I was in your embrace ♫
♫ so that I had the courage to dream ♫
♫ A little more, just a little more ♫
♫ A little more time to wait ♫
♫ to wait for your coming back ♫
♫ and your love through time and spaces ♫
♫ One more day, just one more day ♫
♫ Let me close to your face ♫
♫ Thousand words can't beat one another day ♫
♫ One more day, just one more day ♫
♫ Just love me one more day ♫
Listen to me. I will come back.
I will come back to look for you after things are settled
I will definitely come back safely.
Isn't that the Imperial Scholar who uses sorcery?
He was the one who harmed the Wang family.
Lieutenant Wang was killed by him.
My Lord.
Where you did you go that you are only just back now?
I went to settle some matters.
But you are on the wanted list.
Don't worry.
By the way, where is Ying Yue?
What's going on? I heard that you were injured and vanished.
How is your injury?
It's not serious.
It's okay? It has only been a few days. I'm going to find a physician.
No need. There are doctors in the future too.
Don't worry.
You are really lucky.
I didn't think that it was Wang Mang's plan behind the Empress Dowager's event.
I was too impetuous. (acted too quickly)
I even regarded him as my friend.
I took him too lightly.
Why did you come back?
Why are you asking this?
My Lord. You should leave.
Open the door.
You said that you were going to leave.
People here already know about this jade pendant. You are in a dangerous position.
But I must fulfill my responsibility.
It is alright for me to suffer on my own,
but because of this matter, the Empress is in a difficult position.
I won't leave until I reverse this.
How are you going to reverse this?
There is no solution.
No.
There is always a solution.
My Lord.
The soldiers are out there.
My Lord, escape now.
I won't escape.
I will go out now. Tell them to back off.
Okay.
I regretted not listening to your advice then.
I accidentally used the jade pendant,
thus causing today's mishap.
My Lord.
I still have a favour to ask you.
Can you agree to this?
Sister, is entanglement in this peculiar affair
a really good idea?
How about pushing the blame onto Gong Ming?
Sister, we can't do that.
I won't harm the only person who is loyal to me.
But what if the Wang family wants your death?
And this scholar will be used as the tool to ensure just that?
You and I are now on the receiving end.
Lord Wang has tried to harm me many times.
If his Majesty doesn't believe the Imperial Scholar,
then I will just bear it.
Sis.
Your Highness.
What is it?
I heard that Lord Gong Ming has just entered the Palace.
My greetings to your Majesty.
Why do you show up only now?
My apology. I was shot by an arrow and have
been recuperating. I have only just recovered.
Someone saw you vanish when you were shot by the arrow.
You have guts. You still dare to come?
There were many witnesses who saw you vanish.
Your Majesty, he still won't confess.
I heard that he uses a jade pendant for sorcery.
Your Majesty, please investigate.
Do you have a jade pendant?
Yes.
Your Majesty, you can't believe his lies.
Your Majesty, please investigate him conspiring with the Empress
and punish him for harming Lieutenant Wang.
The Empress and I have no relationship.
Lord Wang is falsely blaming me, as well as the Empress.
Lord Wang is trying to hide his attempt to assassinate the Empress.
You are lying.You should be beaten.
Shut up.
Gong Ming. Look at me and answer.
You lied to me once.
It is cynical how heart-grabbing your last request was.
Your words showed no fear for later punishment.
You were dismayed by power struggles.
That's why I trusted you.
I will ask you one last time. Did you use sorcery?
Is it you who put the letter in this room.
Your Majesty.
What is the matter?
Why are you here?
Until now,
why aren't you punishing him?
How can I punish him without any evidence?
Without any evidence. Everyone already personally saw it.
I also personally witnessed it.
You don't believe the rest?
Do you only believe Gong Ming's words?
If you still don't believe it, use your arrows now.
I can't do this. If I do, Gong Ming will die.
Wang Shu is already dead.
If he didn't use sorcery, would have Wang Shu died?
You must investigate the truth.
Your Majesty, you must make a decision
and see who you believe.
Why are you here?
I heard that they will shoot an arrow at you tomorrow.
Are you going to be shot in front of his Majesty?
I expected that to happen.
Take this now.
Why did you give me the jade pendant before you entered the Palace?
Do you plan to use the fake jade pendant and die?
You said you had a way to overcome this hurdle. That is why I believed you.
Are you planning to give up your life?
Take this now.
If I use this jade pendant,
I will survive tomorrow.
But I will be accused to using sorcery, and the Empress will be in a dangerous position.
Although if I don't use it,
even if I die, I can still save the Empress.
But...
Shouldn't we save the Empress?
Ying Yue.
She shouldn't be saved.
I...
I don't want you to die.
I have made my decision. I am not afraid to die.
It's just that...
Does that woman know about this?
Regarding the future,
I regretted not telling her that.

To verify the witnesses' testimony, I will shoot you with the arrow
to determine if you are really using sorcery.
Do you have anything to say?
I will abide by your decision
but I would like to request something from your Majesty.
What is it?
If I die here,
please clear Empress Xu's innocence.
I promise you this
but if you vanish into thin air and disappear again,
she will have to pay the price.
Yes, your Majesty.
Begin.
Get ready.
Lift.
Release.
Cut. Xiang Xiang, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Why did it break? Check it.
Change it and let's start again.
Xiang Xiang, what's wrong?
Is she sick?
Xiang Xiang. How do you feel?
I can see that you are not feeling well.
Sorry, Director.
I'm a bit unwell.
Okay, everyone. Take a break first.
Xiang Xiang, where are you feeling unwell?
I don't know either.
Is there any water?
Water? I'm going to get it.
Get ready.
Release.
Your Majesty.
I have one last request.
What?
I would like Wang Mang to release the arrow.
What's the reason?
If he wants me to die, I can't stop it.
It's just that I would like to know why.
I want my only soulmate to be the one to end my life.
What is he planning?
In any case, he will vanish when he's shot by the arrow.
How come he is so sure he will die.
Is he trying to make your heart waiver?
I order Wang Mang to come forward.
Will you be able to do it?
Yes, your Majesty.
Go then.
When you say until I die...
you say that we'll be together no matter what.
You are not allowed to die.
You are not allowed to get hurt either.
You must not lose a single strand of your hair.
♫ You come and you go and here I stay, waiting ♫
♫ Whether you are far or near, it still pains me ♫
♫ If there was something ♫
♫ I could do for you ♫
♫ maybe the flowers would not wither and fall. ♫
♫ Are you still here? ♫
♫ Do you still remember? ♫
♫ Far away, under grey skies, the wind still blows ♫
♫ I want to see you but I can't, ♫
♫ I want to ask again ♫
♫ When will you be able to stay? ♫
♫ When will you finally get here? ♫
16 B.C.
Due to the complexity of the legislation, the Empress' reinstatement
failed due to the schemes of the Wang family.
Gong Ming, who was framed, was proven his innocence.
To let his Majesty find out the truth, Gong Ming accepted the arrow.
With the Emperor's order someone
shot Gong Ming in front of the crowd.
Gong Ming was shot by the arrow.
♫ I want to see you but I can't, ♫
♫ I want to ask again ♫
♫ When will you be able to stay? ♫
♫ As we converse through time and space ♫
♫ and understand the price of our love ♫
♫ it matters not whether I know where you are ♫
Call for the physician now.
Get the physician now!
Now!
Gong Ming is dead.
Xiang Xiang. The water is here.
Xing Xiang.
Xiang Xiang!
Xiang Xiang.
What's wrong?
Xiang Xiang. What's wrong again?
Call for the ambulance now.
Quick.
Xiang Xiang.

His Majesty's anger
spread even beyond the Palace.
All because of your mistakes.
Did he feel any pain before he died?
When I heard this news and rushed out,
he had already vanished.
Why is she crying?
Please forgive me.
I couldn't keep my promise this time.
♫ maybe the flowers would not wither and fall. ♫
♫ Are you still here? Do you still remember? ♫
♫ Far away, under grey skies, the wind still blows ♫
♫ I want to see you but I can't, I want to ask again ♫
♫ When will you be able to stay? ♫
♫ When will you finally get here? ♫
♫ I look into any clue I find about you ♫
♫ And I fear I’ll hear that you are looking for me too. ♫
♫ To get to you I will break through a wall after wall. ♫
♫ In the end, there is still something in the way. ♫
♫ Still holding to that promise from a lifetime ago, ♫
♫ I want to see you, but I can’t, I love you, but there is nothing I can do ♫
