[Fire of the Heart 心之火 (Xin Zhi Huo)] sung by Julia Peng Jia Hui 彭佳慧 and F.I.R. 飞儿乐团 (Fei Er Yue Tuan)
♫ When yearning flew across the night sky, ♫
♫ it twisted around the fingers, and left behind a beautiful image like a dream. ♫
♫ When infinite cherry blossoms fall, ♫♫ a thread of sadness and regret sweep across me as I remembered that feeling. ♫
♫ So much hurt. So much resentment. So, so much pain! ♫♫ So much love. So much hate. So, so much mess! ♫
♫ OH~ ♫
♫ One whose love is too insane, that is a willful squander. ♫
♫ Every reconciliation after a fight, we hug, kiss wildly and surrender. ♫
♫ One whose love is not mad, is not fit to say they have loved before. ♫
♫ I'm not asking for tomorrow, eternity or a future. ♫♫ Your glance lights up this moment with me in it.♫
♫ It's enough.♫
The Journey of Flower

Good, good.
Your Majesty.
All the lords that have come.
You have already had three rounds of wine.
And you have had five dishes of food.
Coming up, what I mean to do,
is to come to the main subject.

Not good,
Could it be that it's just as General Lie said,
That this is a Feast at Hongmen? (A banquet set up with the aim of murdering a guest.)

Your Majesty, all of these night shining pearls glow with great brilliance.
What do you think? If you like them,
I will order someone to send them into the palace tomorrow.
Big Brother, it's not like you don't know.
I've never really liked these things of decoration.
Big brother, you should leave it for yourself.
-
That's true. These frivolous things,
how can Your Majesty look upon them?
Your Majesty.
I have something to take care of. Can you allow me to go back to the palace first?
His Majesty won't be leaving today!
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers- Flowers @ Viki
Only this way, will you know what is the country,
And what is family.
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers- Flowers @ Viki
Big brother! Could it be,
that you really want to usurp the throne?
Usurp the throne? I just want to take back what belongs to me.
Then do you not care about our brotherly love at all?
Brotherly love? Do we have such a thing between us?
From childhood until now, you've stolen everything from me!
In front of Father, you act like you don't want anything, but in reality you want everything!
I can only blame that I valued brotherly love too much!
I didn't kill you on the road back to the capital!
My hesitation has let you live until today,
and you're talking about brotherly love to me?
Big brother,
in so many years, you've been thinking of me like this!
You want this throne, you can just take it!
All you need to do is tell me, and I will give it back to you!
Because I never wanted this throne!
What I value, is the love between us brothers!
Talk like you actually mean it. If the army of the Lie Xing Yun was not completely slaughtered and you
were not stranded here, you would not still talk like this!
What did you say? General Lie is dead?
How about I send you to go greet him?
Big brother! Must you do this?
You don't even have one soldier with you right now.
Stop talking about camaraderie. Just give up already!
Big brother. Don't force me anymore!
I have the birthright! You shouldn't have stolen my throne.
If you hand over the royal seal, I'll let you live!
Then let's see your ability!
The Sympathize Life Sword has appeared! Come with me.

Brother Meng!
After them! Kill with no mercy!
Grand Scholar,
You have seen everything tonight.
How about you follow me from now on? I'll guarantee you unthinkable riches!
Then King Ming, you must hold on well to this position.
Over there!
After them!
Hang in there, Brother Meng! Brother Meng!
Qing Shui, hurry and run! Don't bother with me!
Brother Meng!
-Retreat! -Let's go!
-Qing Shui.-Qian Gu!
Lang, are you okay?
Qian Gu, thank you for saving me.
-Brother Meng! Brother Meng! Brother Meng!-Lang! Lang! Lang!
-You-!-Your Highness.
Who are you?
Since I am like this, you should know,
that I wouldn't use my real identity to try you.
Then what do you want?
I came to congratulate you on gaining the biggest prize.
Are you an enemy or a friend?
I can be considered a friend.
-
What do you want by breaking into the palace?
Naturally, I came to help you.
Help me?
Even though you obtained Meng Xuan Lang's throne,
but you must not forget. He still is a disciple of Chang Liu.
He knows a lot of martial arts and magic techniques.
You let him run away.
He will definitely go to Chang Liu to get reinforcements and come back to the palace.
Based on your little soldiers,
I think it will be hard for you to maintain your throne.
What methods do you have?
In this world, the only one who can fight with Chang Liu is the Seven Murder Faction.
So...if you are willing to cooperate with the Holy Ruler,
you can naturally maintain your position.
What are your conditions?
You sure think fast, Highness.
Our conditions are very simple.
We'll help you keep your throne,
and kill Meng Xuan Lang. You will give us the royal sword.
Honorable Superior.
Qing Shui has already told me everything.
Xuan Cong took the throne, and also wanted to kill me.
I always...thought of him as my good big brother.
I trusted him, respected him! I never would have thought,
that even he would betray me.
Did anything strange happen then?
Strange things?
I keep feeling that the royal sword sliced across my arm,
and then a red light appeared in the sky.
Okay. I know. Get some rest.
Brother Meng! How are you doing?
Where are you going?
I'm okay. I want to go out for a walk.
Then I'll go with you!
You don't have to. I just want to be alone.
What are you following me for?
I was worried that something would happen to you, so I...
Within three days, you must pay!
Do you hear me? Within three days, you must pay!
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers-Flowers @ Viki
-Why do we have to pay taxes again?-That's right!
I thought it would be better once the emperor changed,
but they're just phrasing things differently now!
That's right! How are we going to spend our days?
What do we do from now on?
I can't believe they want to add the taxes again. Take a look for yourself.
Really! All the emperors are the same.
That's right, that's right!
Brother Meng...
So this is the way my country is.
Rob everything from the people.
Take everything from the people and make all the people suffer.
I have really disappointed my Emperor Father.
I have disappointed my country!
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers-Flowers @ Viki
Get away! Why are you taking him?
-Mother!-Let go of my child!
Get away!
Hurry and run! Run!
Let's go!
You are Meng Xuan Lang?
-Precisely.-What do you want?
What do I want? I'm taking his life on behalf of someone.
You little disciple of Chang Liu should hurry and leave.
Or else I will kill you together with him.
You'll never touch Brother Meng!
Then I can't let go of you then
Brother Meng!
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers-Flowers @ Viki
-Qing Shui! - Brother Meng
-Lets go! -Don't go, let's save them first.
Honorable Superior!

Brother Meng! Brother Meng!
Honorable Superior, please save Brother Meng!
Subtitles brought to you by the Dancing Fingers- Flowers @viki
Honorable Superior!
-Brother Meng! - Qing Shui, let me be.
Honorable Superior, I have something to beg of you.
What do you want?
I know very well that I have done wrong.
I haven't governed the State of Shu well, causing the citizens to suffer.
If I can get my throne back now, I guarantee,
I cannot bear to see my people's suffering.
Honorable Superior, please help me get back my throne.
Originally, our Chang Liu shouldn't interfere with the matters of the court.
But now, the Seven Murder Faction and even Shan Chun Qiu has entered this mess.
They're interfering because of the Sympathize Life Sword. Since it is like that, I cannot just sit and do nothing.
Honorable Superior, what is the Sympathize Life Sword?
The royal sword that you mentioned, as well as the red light you saw,
should have been the Sympathize Life Sword.
Teacher, are you promising to help Lang?
I still have to think of an unbeatable plan.
Thank you Honorable Superior for fulfilling my request!
Thank you Honorable Superior!
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers-Flowers @ Viki
Teacher, how do you plan to help Lang?
Do we have to go back to Chang Liu now and bring the other disciples down the mou
If was not for the involvement of the Sympathize Life Sword and the Seven Murder Factions,
us Chang Liu shouldn't have interfered with matters of the court.
Even though I plan to help him,
the disciples of Chang Liu should not be involve.
Matters of the court should be fixed by people of the court.
Then...Teacher-
Little Bone, I need you to find someone.
[Scholar Mansion]
Hurry and open up! Hurry and come out!
-What do you want?-Dongfan Yu Qing, come out!
What's going on?
Dongfang Yu Qing, give me your life!
You still dare to run?
Face my sword!
Calm down, Bones! I was the one who asked Honorable Superior to have you come.
Meng Xuan Cong has long put his eyes and ears here.
And you still dare to talk?!
As the Grand Scholar, you witness King Ming raise a rebellion and you just sit there and watch!
Don't blame me yet! I've already reminded him before, but I can't do anything if he didn't listen to me.
-Besides, he doesn't care about governance matter.-Really?
If you don't believe me, you go ask him.
Perfect, I have something to talk to you about.
Before we leave here, put on an act with me.
You greedy pig! To ensure your position,
You betrayed your friends and helped overthrow the emperor!
I, Hua Qian Gu, don't have a friend like you!
Bones!
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers-Flowers @ Viki
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Get up. How are things going?
Hua Qian Gu and Dongfang Yu Qing
have already broken ties. It seems like Grand Scholar Dongfang has already sworn his allegiance to you.
I didn't think that this Grand Scholar,
is such a versatile person.
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers-Flowers @ Viki
Brother Meng, have some tea.
General Lie has died.
Chang Liu also doesn't dare to interfere with the mortal realm's court matters.
I don't even have one soldier in my hands right now.
Do I really have to sneak into the palace,
and kill my big brother with my own hands?
Then what should we do?
They'll definitely be in there. I'll go in and find him in a bit. Don't show yourself yet.
Let me talk to him. Who is wrong and who is right, you'll hear it all.
I sure hope it's really a mistake. If if really is the way I think it is, I definitely won't let you go!
Hurry and go.
Why is it him again? Just who is that person?
I have already put an enchantment over the entire room. You can speak in peace.
The only person you can blame for this happening is yourself. You cannot blame anyone else.
Let me ask you. Before this happened, did you want to be a good emperor and govern the State of Shu well?
You never did!
Ever since the day you ascended to the throne, you spend every day thinking of how you can return to Chang Liu,
and how to go see Hua Qian Gu.
Have you considered the people in your country? An emperor should behave just like one.
Since you became the emperor, you must act responsibly to that title, and to the common people!
Since it's like this, why should you still care who the emperor is?
Now things have gone the way you wanted. You can go back to Chang Liu in peace.
I agree with what Grand Scholar said. But now is not the time for reproach.
Right now, we should be thinking of how to fix this problem.
I will follow everything Honorable Superior says.
Okay. We'll split into two groups and see how the other side is doing.
Who comes?
The Grand Scholar Dongfang Yu Qing has something important to go see the emperor about.
Grand Scholar.
Please come this way.
Not good, it's an enchantment.
I still have something to take care of. I'll be back in a little bit.
Grand Scholar! This..
Let's go.
Based on what you said, Shan Chun Qiu had already guessed that you all would enter the palace.
So near the palace, he made an enchantment.
Little Bone, Qing Shui, and Xuan Lang.
You three learned martial arts from Chang Liu, so naturally the enchantment would notice you.
On the other hand, Dongfang Yu Qing was fine.
So that's the way it is! Then Teacher, how are things going with you?
Right now the surrounding area of the palace is heavily guarded by people of the Seven Murder Faction.
It looks like they are intent on taking the Sympathize Life Sword.
Never thought my big brother would collude with people of the Seven Murder Faction!
But right now, we cannot enter the palace,
and my brother won't come out! What should we do?
Brother Meng, don't rush yet.
If we have to counter attack, but we don't have any soliders
and the disciples of Chang Liu cannot come down the mountain. Is there really no other method?
Unless we have soldiers, only then can we fight with Meng Xuan Cong.

Qing Shui, come with me for a minute. I have something to say to you.
Subtitles brought to you by the Dancing Fingers- Flowers @viki
Teacher, where's Qing Shui?
I told her to go do something. She'll come back in three days.
Honorable Superior, everything has been planned perfectly.
Please come with Brother Meng to a place ten miles out from the city to meet.
Where's Qing Shui?
Please come this way.
Subtitles brought to you by the Dancing Fingers-Flowers @viki
Qing Shui?
Qing Shui? You are Qing Shui?
I am Qing Shui.
Qing Shui, where have you been? We've been looking for you everywhere!
We thought you got captured by Meng Xuan Cong!
Are you worried about me, Brother Meng?
I'm just joking.
Please come in to talk.
You can leave first.
Yes.
Princess Bei Qing of the Chai Royal House of the Zhou State. Greetings everyone.
What? You-! You are the princess of Zhou State?
Previously, to make traveling easier, I had to hide my identity.
Please be understanding.
Qing Shui, so you are a princess?
Then why did you...?
Brother Meng, to help you get your throne back, I went to see my King Father.
I asked him to provide soldiers to you, and help you regain what you lost.
If you get your throne back, the relationship between the two countries will improve.
The soldiers at the border will be taken back, and we will both be at peace.
You're saying...your King Father agreed to provide soldiers?
Are there any conditions?
There is.
I...I have already made it clear to my King Father,
the one he is providing soldiers to is my future husband.
So...if my King Father is to provide solders, then Brother Meng,
you will have to use the position of the king's son in law to write a letter to him.
Only that way...will he give soldiers.
How can that do? How can I, just to get my throne back, with you-!
Brother Meng! You don't need to treat it as real.
I couldn't do anything else. I know you don't like me,
so...I only said this to trick King Father.
Little sister Qing Shui, I am already very touched that you are willing to help me.
But this thing has to do with your reputation and happiness. I cannot do that.
Brother Meng! I don't mind!
Even if I have to spend my whole life being a fake couple with you, as long as I can be by your side,
and can help you, to me, that is enough.
Don't say it anymore! I won't agree to it!
What do we do? Brother Meng won't agree to it.
That won't do. I have to go find my King Father.
Wait a minute. If you have decided to help him, I can be of use to you.
It's just Bones, I have to trouble you to take the jade seal that is with him,
and steal it for use.
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers-Flowers @ Viki
It's too similar! It's pretty much the same as the way Brother Meng writes.
Dongfang!
Did you get it?
Meng Xuan Lang.
-This is great!-Dongfang.
Based on Teacher's plans, the rest is up to you.
Lang, come quickly. We have thought of a good method!
Qian Gu, don't say it anymore. Even if you say it anymore there's no way I will agree to it.
Listen to it just once!
Brother Meng!
Brother Meng, after I worked hard,
even if you don't give him a letter, my King Father has agreed to give soldiers.
Really?
Qing Shui,
-then you-!-It's okay. It's not a hard task.
This way, the Zhou State can have benefits too. If Shu State is in trouble,
the other countries nearby will be in trouble too.
Right now, you just need to get your throne back peacefully.
Qing Shui, thank you!
If one day, Lang knew how much Qing Shui did for him,
Even if his heart is made of steel, it would melt.
Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!
Grand Scholar, why are you in such a rush?
Reporting to Your Majesty. There is an urgent message from the army.
The army of the Zhou State has already gathered at our borders.
Towards the northeast direction, they are coming for us.
How can that be?
They must be thinking that with a new emperor on the throne, it's easiest to win a battle.
I think that at the moment,
we have to send soldiers up north and block their attacks.
-Okay! Right now, you-!-Your Majesty!
An urgent message from the military!
Speak!
The Zhou army have already penetrated our Shu State border.
Wherever one goes, there is an irresistible force.
We have already lost three cities, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, why are you not resting?
Right now a big army is coming in. How can I sleep?
I have a method.
Hurry and say it! With a new emperor ascending the throne, things will definitely be shaky.
If you add in the suddenly sent letter of challenge, the people will be in even more chaos.
I think you cannot put all your hope into the soldiers.
But if Your Majesty lead the army into battle and fight a winning battle,
you will definitely gain the people's loyalty!
Fight the battle myself?
Okay! I will do just that.
I will personally take the dog head of the enemy State!
All of you go out!
Stand down.
Yes!
Shan Custodian of the Law.
Does Your Highness really intend to fight the battle yourself?
-That's correct.-You're not afraid that it's a trap?
So what if it's a trap? If I don't attack out to them,
then they will attack inwards to us! I have to cut things off!
But the way I see it, I don't think that this time is the prime time to cut things off.
The Zhou State has already taken three of my cities! This war,
I must fight it! Shan Custodian of the Law, are you willing to help me?
Okay. As long as you give me the Royal Sword,
I will naturally help you.
Okay! It is a deal!
Your Majesty.
Grand Scholar, what is the situation?
The Rebel King is going to personally lead the army right away.
On the edict, it says, drawing on the strength of the King's sword, showing the Emperor's holy face,
re-strengthen the confidence of our soldiers, force retreat the soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom.
Good! My big brother has finally fallen for the trap!
The Zhou State is unbeatable, but we still can only support, not steal the glory. We have to force him to give up his throne,
and take back the Sympathize Life Sword.
I will be giving you support from behind. The Sympathize Life Sword is extremely strong. You must be careful.
Yes, Teacher. We will also be by Lang's side to help.
You two must not hurt innocents while fighting.
You must minimized injuries and death to the lowest. Do you understand?
Understand. Then let's us get going.
Okay!
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing fingers-Flowers @ Viki
Bones, you must be careful!
I know Dongfang. You're looking more the part of the Grand Scholar every day!
I'm going.
The Shu and Zhou States have always had good relationships.
Why have you suddenly sent soldiers out to make things hard on us?
Because you wrongly took the throne and burdened the military.
Establishing exorbitant taxes, making it hard for citizens to survive.
Send the troops to cause difficulties.
This is not what citizens desire in their hearts.
This girl has come as well? Bai Zi Hua must be nearby.
You don't bow in front of me?
You colluded with the Zhou State and worked against me!
Do you plan to betray your country?
Big brother! Up until now, do you not even have a small thought of repenting?
If I didn't do this, I'm afraid I would have died long ago under the hands of the people you sent!
You didn't care at all about our brotherly love or camaraderie!
You continuously tried to kill me!
You dare to cooperate with the Zhou State and worked against me! Do you still expect any respect of camaraderie?
Big Brother! You can have my throne,
but you cannot make the people suffer!
Take a look yourself! This was once the heaven blessed state.
And what about now? The people wander about aimlessly,
They cannot even go back to their own homes and love their own country!
Can you really sleep well inside your palace?
Stop talking useless words! Today, the winner gets it all!
I let you run away countless times. If you didn't try to attack me,
I would still let you live. But now, you dare to collude with the Zhou State!
You attacked my country's borders! I cannot let go of that!
Where is the Royal Sword?
I've searched for half a day, but it turns out that the Royal Sword was hidden with a soldier!
This is the grudge between us brothers! Do not drag the innocent people of Shu State into this!
Today, only one of us will win!
Okay. You want to die? I'll fulfill your wish!

Lang!
Qing Shui!
You again? Just who are you?
Are you okay?
I'll let you two be together today!
Bai Zi Hua! You ruined my plan again!
Big brother!
Big brother! Big brother, how are you doing?

You...
Big brother, big brother! Big brother!!
Brother Meng, don't be too sad.
He has been blinded by his greed long time ago. Maybe, to him,
this a way to escape all this?
Your Majesty! I have come too late to protect you.
General Lie! You-!
Your Majesty, that day when King Ming sent people to ambush me,
the Grand Scholar had secretly sent people to save me.
Then why didn't you show up? I thought you died!
-Your majesty, I - -If not so, how would he be able to block the enemies from behind?
Dongfang! So you had already planned everything before hand?
If we talk about that, I cannot compare to Honorable Superior, who used even Qing Shui.
Honorable Superior, I could only regain my position thanks to you this time.
I thank you on behalf of citizens.
I'm afraid the palace has no way of protecting this Sympathize Life Sword.
Please take it back to protect it.
Subtitles Brought To You By: The Dancing Fingers-Flowers @ Viki
I hope that after going through all this, you can learn how to love your people,
and protect the world, as well as not disappoint the work Qing Shui put in for you.
Honorable Superior, I have a request.
Get up to say it.
I ask that you let me leave Chang Liu to stay here to be with Brother Meng.
I'm afraid that I cannot go back to Chang Liu. Even if I returned,
I wouldn't be able to pass the water of emotionless.
You are the princess of Zhou State, so naturally you will have your own path to take.
I will go back to Chang Liu first,
and will explain everything clearly to Senior Brother.
Honorable Superior, you are agreeing to my request?
Thank you Honorable Superior.
Qing Shui, have you really thought through things clearly?
As long as I can be by Brother Meng's side, that is enough for me.
Subtitles brought to you by the Dancing Fingers-Flowers @viki
Teacher, I'll help you.
Okay.
How is Xuan Lang doing?
Lang has already recovered and is taking care of the documents.
I hope that after he went through all this, he can become a good emperor who loves his people.
That's right, Teacher, I think we should
go to Zu Mountain to find Yun Yin.
Okay.
